| penguin42 | directhex: And how many programmers do you know that are sane?! | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| ali1234 | there is no need to learn to build entire applications in assembly language but you do need to know stuff like the stack, pointers, calling conventions etc | 00:06 |
| ali1234 | x86 is too complicated though | 00:06 |
| AlanBell | some people start from the electronics end and go to arduino stuff | 00:28 |

| jonsaint | hi all. can anyone recommend software for making a mp3 cd?? | 11:18 |
| MartijnVdS | jonsaint: soundconverer | 11:18 |
| MartijnVdS | uh | 11:18 |
| MartijnVdS | soundconverter | 11:18 |
| MartijnVdS | it converts any music you have to MP3, then you just select the MP3s in brasero | 11:18 |
| jonsaint | and that makes a mp3 cd? | 11:19 |
| MartijnVdS | no it converts your music to mp3s suitable for MP3 cds | 11:19 |
| Myrtti | mp3 cd is just a cd with mp3's in it | 11:19 |
| jonsaint | i got the mp3 files but looking for something to burn the mp3 music to cd | 11:19 |
| Myrtti | jonsaint: even the filemanager itself should be able to burn, you don't need any special app for it | 11:19 |
| Myrtti | brasero is of course nice | 11:20 |
| jonsaint | Myrtti, so all i do is burn it as a data cd? | 11:20 |
| Myrtti | what I would check is your cd player first | 11:20 |
| Myrtti | does the manual say if there is a limit on how many directories it can recurse into | 11:21 |
| jonsaint | my car cd is mp3 compoatible as i already play mp3 in there | 11:21 |
| Myrtti | atleast in the misty hazy days of mp3 cd players there were limitations in the directory depth | 11:21 |
| jonsaint | il give it a try | 11:22 |
| Myrtti | yeah, it should just work | 11:22 |
| jonsaint | cheers for the help | 11:23 |
| brobostigon | gwibber 3.3 seems alot more resource friendly, but the gui, is still so sluggish. | 11:43 |

| brobostigon | siriusly: ah, ok. | 11:48 |
| siriusly | I want to like Gwibber and I know it has come on in leaps bust as you say the GUI is still quite sluggish | 11:49 |
| siriusly | Bu* | 11:49 |
| siriusly | although I do like the way it's integrated into the desktop experience | 11:50 |

| penguin42 | well, I've learnt something - and I've not even had breakfast yet | 12:56 |
| penguin42 | hmm, I'll go and cure that 2nd part | 12:59 |
| brobostigon | i suppose, mixing ppa's and normal debian repos inside debian. will only be an issue, if things start to clash. afterall a ppa, is basiclly, a normal debian repo. | 13:00 |

| bigcalm | Aha | 13:37 |
| bigcalm | I forget that some web apps make it into the repos. Which is good and bad. Most web apps are constantly out of date | 13:38 |
| AlanBell | yeah, I wouldn't do wordpress from the repos, but phpmyadmin I can't be bothered to install myself | 13:38 |

| popey | jutnux: we record this tuesday | 18:02 |
| popey | also http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/calendar/ :D | 18:02 |
| jutnux | Good good. | 18:03 |
| awilkins | I am vexed. My computer now refuses to boot Ubuntu, even from a LiveUSB. But it still boots Windows fine. | 18:17 |
| awilkins | It ran mprime for an hour (when Ubuntu still booted) with no trouble. It runs Memtest86 through a full pass with no errors. Grr. | 18:17 |
| MartijnVdS | awilkins: have you adjusted the boot order? | 18:18 |
| MartijnVdS | have you checked the boot bits of the liveusb? | 18:18 |
| awilkins | MartijnVdS: Nope... the LiveUSB has worked for some time too | 18:18 |
| MartijnVdS | strnge | 18:18 |
| MartijnVdS | stränge even | 18:18 |
| awilkins | It's been flaky for a few weeks - but only in Ubuntu. Hardlocks and resets | 18:19 |
| MartijnVdS | file bugs! | 18:19 |
| awilkins | Windows will play Skyrim for hours and only suffers from the usual crashing level you'd expect from a Bethesda game | 18:19 |
| MartijnVdS | ah | 18:19 |
| MartijnVdS | nvidia | 18:19 |
| MartijnVdS | I guess? | 18:19 |
| awilkins | Yes | 18:19 |
| MartijnVdS | I've just found the source of your problems ;) | 18:20 |
| awilkins | I may swap the card out for the older 8800 | 18:20 |
| BigRedS | I've an nfs mount over what I suspect to be a flaky network. Is there a favourite tool that I can use to do a massive volume of realistic-loking I/O on it to see if I can make it fail while I'm awake? | 18:20 |
| awilkins | MartijnVdS: It even had the crashes when I was running Nouveau | 18:20 |
| MartijnVdS | BigRedS: cp ubuntu.iso /mnt/nfs | 18:20 |
| MartijnVdS | BigRedS: \o/ lots of i/o | 18:20 |
| BigRedS | MartijnVdS: yeah, that was my first thought :) | 18:27 |
| BigRedS | Wondered about a bunch of random reads/writes. But it's all on vms, so I've no idea where the actual bits being flipped are | 18:27 |
| penguin42 | BigRedS: Bit flips? A flaky network should never actually make flaky data in the actual files | 18:29 |
| MartijnVdS | bit flips sounds like a broken nic | 18:33 |
| MartijnVdS | also, that should be caught by checksum algorithms on several levels | 18:33 |
| BigRedS | no, there aren't any bit flips, just the device goes away | 18:33 |
| MartijnVdS | try running nfs over tcp -- if you still get corrupted data, you want to start suspecting the disc/controller | 18:33 |
| BigRedS | what I meant was that traditionally I'd want to be reading and writing all over the place, rahter than just one file | 18:34 |
| penguin42 | BigRedS: What do you mean 'goes away' - sorry, please be a bit more precise | 18:34 |
| BigRedS | Apache processes (which are reading off it) end up in D state and the mount point is empty. It's actually gluster, not nfs, too | 18:35 |
| penguin42 | ok, sounds like you have a gluster specific problem then | 18:35 |
| BigRedS | yeah, I just want to se what's going on when it fails | 18:36 |
| penguin42 | BigRedS: anything in dmesg? | 18:36 |
| BigRedS | are those logged anywhere to survive between boots? | 18:37 |
| penguin42 | should end up in /var/log/kern.log | 18:37 |
| penguin42 | or possibly /var/log/syslog | 18:37 |
| BigRedS | yeah, nothing in syslog | 18:37 |
| BigRedS | and only complaints by apache about the sudden disappearence of the fs | 18:39 |
| BigRedS | I'll just cp a CD a few times and see what happens | 18:39 |
| * penguin42 assumes gluster has some monitoring stuff | 18:40 | |
| BigRedS | yeah, I've inherited somebody else's mess | 18:41 |

| MartijnVdS | jutnux: do you have baking powder? | 19:32 |
| MartijnVdS | add that to the flour :) | 19:32 |

| jutnux | Because it looks really nice :'( | 19:33 |
| penguin42 | jutnux: Well, obviously you should take a slice of the cake instead | 19:36 |
| jutnux | penguin42: Been there, done that, gained 8 stone ;) | 19:36 |
| penguin42 | jutnux: And you do better with cakes in a cup?! When I do that they're quite substantial - I don't use a small cup :-) | 19:37 |
| jutnux | I've never had cake in a cup before hahaha. I have a massive beer mug type cup so that will be fine :) | 19:38 |
| * penguin42 puts lots of cocoa, chocolate chips and a spoon of marmalade in | 19:38 | |

| jacobw | marmite contains vitamin b which makes people less aggressive | 19:55 |

| jutnux | A wide variety of foods contain vitamin B6, including potatoes, bananas, beans, seeds, nuts, red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, spinach, | 19:55 |
| jacobw | i unlaterally shutdown my facebook again 2 years ago | 19:56 |
| jutnux | Wish I could | 19:57 |
| jutnux | Why do people customise unity arghhh | 19:57 |
| jutnux | Especially when they make it look disgusting | 19:57 |
| jacobw | people customise everything | 19:58 |
| jutnux | True | 19:58 |
| jutnux | Just had some cheesecake, feel proper sick. | 19:58 |
| jutnux | Worth it though. | 19:58 |
| jacobw | it doesn't sound as such | 19:58 |
| jutnux | Raspberry cheesecake, can't go wrong ;) | 19:59 |
| Myrtti | I didn't even realise you could customize Unity | 19:59 |
| jacobw | you can even customise gnome3 | 20:00 |
| MartijnVdS | they fixed that now? | 20:00 |
| jacobw | haha | 20:00 |
| jacobw | i'm sure their working on it | 20:00 |
| jacobw | i want to see someone make kde look like gnome3 | 20:00 |
| MartijnVdS | 8-) | 20:01 |
| jutnux | Didn't someone make LXDE look like XP? | 20:01 |
| jacobw | gnome is quite easy to make look like XP | 20:02 |
| jacobw | http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2/1058 | 20:03 |
| Myrtti | I knew GnomeShell can be customised. Haven't found out how Unity can. | 20:03 |
| popey | define $customised | 20:03 |
| Myrtti | colours, sizes, backgrounds, etc | 20:08 |
| Myrtti | I can't find out how to remove the workspace switcher | 20:08 |

| jutnux | I only really found the uses of workspaces last year | 20:11 |
| Myrtti | I use keyboard shortcuts for switching anyway | 20:12 |
| Myrtti | I'm really disappointed how audio_bell works in GnomeShell but not in Unity | 20:12 |
| Myrtti | I can't even figure out why | 20:12 |
| * AlanBell goes to file a bug in unity | 20:12 | |
| jacobw | i'm pleased all the new desktop shells are using keyboard shortcuts | 20:12 |
| * jacobw loves keyboard control | 20:13 | |
| AlanBell | keyboard control is good, but it isn't complete | 20:13 |
| Darael | ISTR that some change was made deliberately to stop audio_bell working in Unity. Don't know how, but I'm sure it's intentional. Don't think it's a good thing, either, but there you go. | 20:14 |
| Myrtti | intentional? erh. I'd prefer it to be configurable like it is in GnomeShell. | 20:15 |
| Myrtti | one feature that Gnome hasn't managed to remove | 20:15 |
| BigRedS | Unity's less good at keyboard than Gnome 2 was IMO | 20:18 |
| Myrtti | I wonder how I manage to find new problems in my system almost on daily basis | 20:21 |
| Myrtti | now I want to know which spellchecker drivel uses but seem to be unable to locate info about it | 20:21 |
| MarquessDeBonBon | What's all this Alt+click business? | 20:22 |
| * AlanBell wonders what MarquessDeBonBon is on about | 20:25 | |
| jutnux | AlanBell: I think he means in Gnome-Shell how you can move the dockable things. | 20:25 |
| awilkins | MartijnVdS, Damn machine won't even boot the alternate installer for Natty now. Just gets to a flashing text cursor on a black screen... | 20:58 |

| MartijnVdS | awilkins: I'd say it's a hardware issue then | 20:58 |

| jutnux | Hahhahahaha, someone on a forum took apart a Lithium Ion battery and put it in the bin. | 21:25 |
| mgdm | o_O | 21:25 |
| jutnux | Moments later the bin was on fire. | 21:25 |
| jutnux | He didn't understand why until after he put the fire out. | 21:25 |
| zleap | lol | 21:25 |
| zleap | Lithium + h20 = flames | 21:25 |
| zleap | or does it combust in air, | 21:26 |
| jutnux | Nope | 21:26 |
| jutnux | H20 it burns. | 21:26 |
| jutnux | I think | 21:26 |
| Darael | It oxidises in air, but not rapidly enough to burn. In water, on the other hand... | 21:26 |
| zleap | what if there is high humidity | 21:27 |
| zleap | just out of interest | 21:27 |
| Darael | I don't actually know, but I'd assume if it's high enough it'll "spontaneously" combust. | 21:27 |
| zleap | Darael, You ever seen caesium in water | 21:27 |
| jutnux | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjreO2quGsM | 21:27 |
| Darael | Yup. Boom. | 21:27 |
| Darael | Francium would be even more impressive, if they could get it to remain stable for long enough... | 21:28 |
| zleap | LiHO should that be LiOH | 21:28 |

| zleap | francium bomb test | 21:30 |
| zleap | which is not a proper descriptionof the video really is it | 21:30 |
| Darael | Francium and fluorine would be particularly impressive, I should think. | 21:30 |
| jutnux | It's Hydrogen bomb test haha. | 21:30 |
| zleap | yeah i kinda thought it looked odd for francium in water | 21:31 |
| zleap | isi t really that rate | 21:31 |
| zleap | rare | 21:31 |
| jutnux | Presumably | 21:31 |
| jutnux | Reacts with air so quickly I guess. | 21:32 |
| AlanBell | there was a mythbusters episode where they were messing about with irresponsible quantities of reactive metals | 21:32 |
| Darael | That it reacts with air wouldn't make it rare, merely difficult to get the pure stuff. | 21:33 |
| Darael | It's rare because it's unstable, and decays quickly. | 21:33 |
| jutnux | I guess. | 21:33 |
| zleap | yeah | 21:33 |
| zleap | http://www.chemicool.com/elements/francium.html | 21:33 |
| jutnux | " less than 30 g of it exists on Earth at any given time. " | 21:33 |
| zleap | i really miss having a periodic table program I had on win3.1 it gave detailed decay trees for elements | 21:34 |
| jutnux | I wish I was alive for 3.1 :-( | 21:34 |
| AlanBell | so not something the mythbusters could easily chuck in a bucket of water to see what happens | 21:34 |
| zleap | however on win95 it really seemed to eat memory | 21:34 |
| * AlanBell remembers windows 2 | 21:34 | |
| * MartijnVdS too | 21:34 | |
| zleap | and me | 21:34 |
| MartijnVdS | had it on my dad's XT | 21:35 |

| jutnux | My school security is terrible. | 21:37 |
| zleap | what is funny is you tell people and they just dismiss it | 21:37 |
| jutnux | Unplug the network cable, bring up cmd prompt, plug it back in and you have a command prompt connected to the network. | 21:37 |
| zleap | lol | 21:38 |
