[06:51] <pepito> good morning everyone!
[07:44] <AlanBell> morning all
[07:46] <danfish> g'day! Loverley weather in the SE today :)
[07:49]  * danfish is updating an hp microserver to 11.10 and crossing fingers and toes!
[08:22] <SuprEngr> Google+ suspended Super Engineer's a/c - didn't believe it was a real name - lol
[08:23]  * SuprEngr is now now known as Bill Boo on G+
[08:30] <dwatkins> yeah, they seem to have decreed we're not allowed to use anything but real names, annoyingly
[08:35] <SuprEngr> I feel sorry for all those good peeps using the name Ubuntu + firstname on G+
[08:35] <SuprEngr> i did wonder how I got away with mine for so long ;)
[08:36] <dwatkins> the thing is, they did a complete about-face on this issue
[08:36] <dwatkins> http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2011/02/freedom-to-be-who-you-want-to-be.html
[08:37]  * SuprEngr looks at ^
[08:39] <SuprEngr> hmmm... interesting
[08:39] <dwatkins> yeah, as many of the comments say it appears to be a complete reversal
[08:39] <dwatkins> They could insist you tell them your real name, but it remain secret, for example.
[08:41] <SuprEngr> but end result of the policy is that e.g. "Super Engineer" gets suspended with only option given being to change it and "submit for approval" which "normally takes a few days"
[08:42] <dwatkins> http://vimeo.com/26180854
[08:42] <dwatkins> interesting interview
[08:46] <SuprEngr> love it!  - as I haver always maintained.. sarcasm is the *highest* form of wit
[08:53] <dwatkins> indeed
[09:22] <brobostigon> good morning everyone.
[09:31] <czajkowski> aloha
[09:50] <SuprEngr> anyone got Tomboy Notes synching setup in 11.10?  I get as far "Connected. Pree Save to start synchronising". The Save button stays grayed out ^ can't be pressed.
[10:23] <ubuntuuk-planet> [Tony] The obligatory Hello Planet Ubuntu post - http://tonywhitmore.co.uk/blog/2011/09/07/the-obligatory-hello-planet-ubuntu-post/
[11:11] <doubi> 'afternoon all. I foolishly started dd'ing a device to an external HD without specifying a reasonable block size. The drive is ~480Gb, it's copied ~340 since Friday night.
[11:11] <doubi> Now, I've read that ddpt and dd_rescue both have the ability to resume a copy. What I'd like to know is if they'll be able to do so with an image created by plain ol' dd? Because if so, I should be able to Ctrl-C this process and resume it with a reasonable block size and finish the whole thing quicker, right?
[11:25] <penguin42> hmph, freenode took a while to connect
[11:27] <popey> Afternoon all
[11:29] <Girly-Girl> popey: Hi
[11:34] <SevenMachines> SuprEngr: Remove the trailing '/' from the server, make it https://one.ubuntu.com/notes
[12:47] <ubuntu-fan>  I'm looking for person who be able to help me with native translation. Is here anyone who is under 18 and coming from UK?
[12:50] <jacobw> ubuntu-fan: why under 18?
[12:50]  * jacobw has just discovered bash vi mode \o/
[12:52] <ubuntu-fan> jacobw: it's not obligatory
[12:53] <ubuntu-fan> but we would meke sure translation is correct
[12:56] <jacobw> what are you translating, in to en_GB I presume?
[13:00] <ubuntu-fan> it's photo album
[13:01] <ubuntu-fan> all about catastrophy wihich cused water
[13:04] <ubuntu-fan> jacobw: how about tis kind of challenge? Are you in?
[13:05] <jacobw> i don't have the time right now, if you post a link to more details someone in here will probably have time to help you.
[13:06] <jacobw> o/ issyl0
[13:07] <issyl0> Hey!
[13:07]  * issyl0 wonders how she went so long without realising that she was Guest[whatever]...
[13:07] <ubuntu-fan> jacobw:ok. thx for your attention. By the way, do you know some english forums focused about translations?
[13:11] <jacobw> i don't
[13:14] <ubuntu-fan> ok, one more time: THX.
[14:41] <SuprEngr> given up on 1104 -> 1110 upgrade in place Oneiric. formatted partion.  too many fails
[14:42]  * SuprEngr downloads 1110 iso to see if fresh install kills those bugs before reporting
[14:42] <SuprEngr> [how's that for dedication!]
[14:45] <SuprEngr> ...& it was oh so promising... no fails in upgrade - all 'apparently' working :(
[14:46] <penguin42> SuprEngr: What broke?
[14:46] <SuprEngr> tomboy, U1, evolution [should I continue?]
[14:46] <penguin42> hmm
[14:46] <penguin42> upgrade from 11.04 ?
[14:47] <SuprEngr> shame... it reallly did go so well & in normal use noone would notice any fail... guess I'm not normal
[14:47] <SuprEngr> ;)
[14:48] <SuprEngr> penguin42, yup, upgrade in place 11.04 -> 11.10
[14:48] <SuprEngr> 1st time I'd tried it - always done fresh instals before
[14:50] <SuprEngr> but I still will not knock it or Ubuntu - I am given this software for very little in return... so I find what's wrong, I report bugs
[14:51] <SuprEngr> [pity others in some other channels forget that ethos
[14:53] <SuprEngr> still... theres BTCC on ITV4 to pass the download / install time ;)
[14:57]  * SuprEngr hums waiting for iso to download .... & shuts gob due to realisation of channel hogging :D
[15:26] <smittix> afternoon all
[15:29] <smittix> anyone noticing any wireless problems with 11.10?
[15:30] <jacobw> i haven't smittix, what problems are getting?
[15:30] <DJones> smittix: Seems fine on my machines
[15:31] <jacobw> *you
[15:31] <smittix> Ultra slow connectivity
[15:31] <smittix> Looks like a driver problem as if I disable 'n' it works fine.
[15:31] <smittix> all previous releases have also been fine.
[15:35] <jacobw> with n? how are you disabling n?
[15:37] <smittix> By issuing           <-- | leeb9972
[15:37] <smittix>          
[15:37] <smittix> sudo rmmod iwlagn
[15:37] <smittix> sudo modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable=1
[15:44] <jacobw> have you checked how busy your channel is?
[15:44] <smittix> Yes, nothing around here on the current channel
[15:45] <smittix> I have fallen back to 11.04 just to test it and its working fine.
[15:46]  * peng42phone looks at penguin42
[15:46]  * penguin42 looks back
[15:48] <jacobw> feedback loop :P
[15:52] <jacobw> smittix: i've found reports of problems with iwlagn and kernel 3.0.x
[15:53] <jacobw> smittix: there doesn't seem to be a solution besides kernel downgrade
[16:07] <gord> SSO looks down :(
[16:08] <mgdm> SPOFSO? :-)
[16:09] <jacobw> hehe
[16:11] <czajkowski> aloha

[16:29] <TheOpenSourcerer> The Kiwis were pretty awesome.
[16:29] <DJones> daubers: What have you broke (re twitter fixing things again)
[16:30] <daubers> DJones: Some foam packing in a case I have (it's pick and pluck stuff, tends to degrade with constant use)
[16:30] <TheOpenSourcerer> Right, better go and finish dinner for the family. Anything good on telly tonight?
[16:30] <DJones> daubers: Fake quavers?
[16:31] <daubers> DJones: No, black pick and pluck foamy stuff like this http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=pick+and+pluck+foam&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1184&bih=615&tbm=isch&tbnid=ZR3LknDv8_0snM:&imgrefurl=http://www.casesbysource.com/product/soft-charcoal-ester-pick-and-pluck-foam-2-pack-fs04&docid=JNEUyWBwUEQBLM&imgurl=http://www.casesbysource.com/img/cache/variation/FS04375_319_.jpg&w=375&h=281&ei=5wabTpnDK8Sl8QPIi_3XBQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=233&sig=102392950821632151567&page

[16:32] <daubers> Still not nice, but better
[16:33] <DJones> Link still doesn't work in irssi, the ":" breaks the link, don't worry about it
[16:33] <daubers> Haven't managed to do a thing on my ldap tool since I got backk from holiday :(
[16:33] <jacobw> google should make beter use of their url shortener
[16:34] <bigcalm_lappy486> Evenin' all

[16:35] <jacobw> evening bigcalm
[16:38] <DJones> That link worked, I see what mean, foam does go funny after a while
[16:39] <daubers> yeah, 'm just gluing it onto a board base to try and give it back some rigidity
[17:02] <gord> kinda strange that the slowest mirrors in my apt sources is google...
[17:11]  * daubers wonders if googles apt mirror has a line like "if user='gord' then THROTTLE"
[17:12] <gord> well it peaked at 300bytes/second ;)
[17:13] <gord> its only there for the google+ hangout plugin, but it slows down all my apt-get updates
[17:13] <daubers> heh :)
[17:22] <m4r35n357> hmm, anyone know how to get rhythmbox to load songs from twonkymedia?
[17:22] <m4r35n357> it's just sitting there, empty
[17:23] <m4r35n357> works fine on my netbooks, but nothing appears on the laptop
[17:23] <m4r35n357> according to twonkymedia, it has been contacted by teh laptop
[17:23] <m4r35n357> but no songs . . .
[17:24] <m4r35n357> nothing in banshee either
[18:14] <smittix> well adding a config file to modprobe.d sorted the wireless out for a quick fix.
[18:25] <smittix> Does anyone change the launcher size here? I usually change it using CCSM but for some reason it wont save the settings?
[18:42] <smittix> Bah I hate how you can't easily edit startup services in 11.10.
[18:59] <Univoid> anyone here used webkitgtk??
[19:01] <mgdm> I used it for evil, once
[19:05] <smittix> Univoid: Try asking in #webkit-gtk
[19:22] <smittix> Quiet in here tonight
[19:22]  * smittix thinks everyone is watching X-Factor :/
[19:24] <mgdm> Oh heck no

[19:36] <smittix> Pi is a good, I will dig it out for you
[20:06]  * daubers puts Merlin on and dozes off on the sofa
[20:06] <daubers> stupid colds
[20:08]  * SuprEngr sends daubers a vitual box of snot rags
[20:32] <penguin42> daubers: I hope it's not your cold I'm getting - or I'll get very angry
[20:42]  * SuprEngr sends penguin42  a vitual box of snot rags
[20:43] <penguin42> why thank you

[21:40] <bigcalm> Evening peeps
[23:31] <penguin42> http://jezebel.com/5849891/baby-ocelot-kitten-is-too-cute-for-words would have made a good OO backdrop
[23:34] <Pendulum> penguin42: that's adorable!
[23:35] <penguin42> it is isn't it - dreamy even
