czajkowski | AlanBell: meh, if I could have a new body for xmas I'd be happy | 11:18 |
* christel gives czajkowski a christmas body | 11:36 | |
christel | (you now look like santa, sorry) | 11:37 |
christel | <3 | 11:37 |
czajkowski | heh | 11:37 |
czajkowski | back is giving me jib | 11:37 |
czajkowski | but I do have a date for op in January | 11:37 |

awilkins | Ah well, I get to see what fuss is with these shiny new i7 CPUses | 11:56 |
MarquessDeBonBon | You're replacing just one core? | 12:07 |
MarquessDeBonBon | I hope you have a portable fab handy. | 12:07 |
AlanBell | hi all | 12:21 |
BigRedS | Good morning! | 12:22 |
AlanBell | I am sat in front of my brother in law's computer and it is a bit broken | 12:22 |
* BigRedS looks shifty | 12:22 | |
BigRedS | Er, I wouldn't know anything about that | 12:22 |
AlanBell | won't boot at all, and the drive (with raid controller) is unhappy | 12:22 |
AlanBell | won't create mount points in /dev apart from /dev/sda5 | 12:23 |
AlanBell | and sda5 is just swap | 12:23 |
BigRedS | Surely it's booted more than not at all if you're as far as having /dev? | 12:23 |
AlanBell | running from live CD now | 12:24 |
BigRedS | ahh | 12:24 |
BigRedS | presumably the raid is normally /dev/sda? And swap is on some second disk? | 12:25 |
AlanBell | yeah | 12:25 |
AlanBell | fdisk -l shows the partition table | 12:25 |
BigRedS | I'd be tempted to run testdisk to see if it disagrees with fdisk, but by that point I've normally given up and given it to The Hardware Guy | 12:26 |
AlanBell | the thing will boot to a grub menu with a list of kernels but the keyboard seems unresponsive at that point | 12:26 |
AlanBell | yeah, it is a hardware issue, just want to get some data off | 12:27 |
BigRedS | oooh, odd. There's not a lot else to try to see if the issue is the keyboard or the software at that point | 12:28 |
AlanBell | doing a SMART test now, will see what that can do | 12:29 |
AlanBell | keyboard works on a live CD, but PS2 mouse does not! | 12:29 |
AlanBell | this thing is borked | 12:30 |
AlanBell | the PS2 mouse has power to it, but I am having to navigate the desktop by keyboard (lucky I do a lot of orca testing) | 12:30 |
BigRedS | I take it this isn't mdraid? | 12:30 |
BigRedS | I've seen several complaints of poor/patchy PS/2 support in 11.10 | 12:31 |
AlanBell | 528 bad sectors :( | 12:35 |
BigRedS | Oooh, not a good sign | 12:37 |
BigRedS | ddrescue? | 12:38 |
AlanBell | need another TB disk or something to rescue stuff to (if anything is left) | 12:39 |
AlanBell | http://paste.ubuntu.com/765828 | 12:41 |
AlanBell | that is the kern.log | 12:42 |
AlanBell | lots of media errors when trying to get partition information from sda | 12:42 |
BigRedS | Yeah | 12:42 |
Myrtti | does anyone have experience in configuring zsh? | 12:42 |
BigRedS | Myrtti: I have a nifty prompt with teh time and everything. But I did that a few years ago and haven't touched it since | 12:43 |
BigRedS | Myrtti: there's a script to get you started, I think you get prompted for it the first time you run zsh | 12:46 |
jutnux | Howdy everyone. | 13:10 |
jacobw | good afternoon jutnux | 13:21 |
jutnux | Hello jacobw, how are you on this fine saturday afternoon? | 13:21 |
gordonjcp | afternoon all | 13:23 |
MooDoo | hullo | 13:24 |
brobostigon | helo | 13:24 |
jutnux | Who has their openid setup? | 13:25 |
jutnux | Bacon Sandwiches *drool* | 13:29 |
StevenR | jutnux: *sniff*. Now I want bacon sandwiches. | 13:30 |
jutnux | Unlucky, I have 4 of them sitting here ;) | 13:30 |
jutnux | Oh yes, HP open sourced WebOS | 13:30 |
StevenR | woo | 13:33 |
BigRedS | openid? People set that up themselves? | 13:34 |
jutnux | I set up one on symantec | 13:34 |
jutnux | but Google is an openid right? | 13:34 |
jutnux | along with linkedin | 13:34 |
Darael | I tend to use my Launchpad one. | 13:34 |
jutnux | Good idea, why didn't I think of that ._. | 13:35 |
jacobw | i'm sure i have an openid | 13:35 |
jacobw | somewhere.. | 13:35 |
Darael | Well, it's Ubuntu SSO, these days, of course, but I still think of it as Launchpad. | 13:36 |
jacobw | yes | 13:36 |
BigRedS | Oh, I thought you meant set it up on your server as your own openID provider | 13:37 |
jutnux | No way, too much effort ;) | 13:37 |
BigRedS | I've just been peripherally involved in setting that up for someone, and it seems that every implementation of it is broken | 13:37 |
jutnux | I'd prefer to use something that wont go down | 13:39 |
ali1234 | google openid isn't great | 13:40 |
jacobw | i'm relearning to touch type | 13:40 |
jutnux | Jacobw: I've been able to touch type since I was 11. Bad times ensue when you setup your fingers wrong and you end end up typing something like shwhe ueicl rf;ls | 13:41 |
jacobw | i've discovered that i've been doing it wrong for years, with my right fingers on 'hjkl' rather that 'jkl;' | 13:41 |
jacobw | s/that/than | 13:41 |
jutnux | I just use 3 fingers | 13:42 |
jutnux | can still type 121wpm | 13:42 |
jutnux | 3 fingers on each hand that os | 13:42 |
jutnux | s/os/is | 13:42 |
jacobw | so you don't use your little finger? | 13:43 |
jutnux | No | 13:43 |
jutnux | never | 13:43 |
jutnux | Have no use for it lol | 13:43 |
jutnux | My fingers move so swiftly as they're quite big | 13:43 |
BigRedS | jacobw: that's really common - I spent a while off-by-one on both hands. I don't think I really do home-row style touch typing any more, though | 13:44 |
BigRedS | I just do muscle-memory and inefficiency | 13:45 |
jacobw | its an obvious mistake | 13:46 |
jacobw | i blame vim | 13:46 |
BigRedS | haha! yeah, I'd not thought of that | 13:46 |
Darael | Well, to be fair, what kind of ridiculous person puts ; on the home row? | 13:47 |
Darael | (disclaimer: Programmer-Dvorak typist) | 13:47 |
jacobw | a c programmer | 13:47 |
BigRedS | c, perl, php programmers? | 13:47 |
jacobw | yeah | 13:47 |
BigRedS | and anything else that ends statements with ; | 13:47 |
Darael | It's still not as common as the letters, though... | 13:47 |
jutnux | Javaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 13:47 |
jutnux | Pretty east to find out if you're a geek | 13:48 |
jutnux | see how worn the ; key is, as not many people use it correctly anyway. | 13:48 |
Darael | I would at least shift it one to the right, so it's not under the rest-position for the fingers. | 13:48 |
BigRedS | I've never been able to look at line endings the same since my sister asked why I had all these crying faces - all those lines ending ); | 13:48 |
jacobw | hahaha | 13:48 |
jutnux | HAHAHHAHAHA | 13:49 |
jutnux | You've passed the curse on :-{ | 13:49 |
BigRedS | haha | 13:49 |
Darael | Imagine what a Lisp programmer with commented code sees - winking-sad-face? ";(" | 13:50 |
BigRedS | I've been pondering writing a source filter since, so I can end them with :) and it'll 'fix' them to ); but I think that might just _really_ confuse me | 13:50 |
jutnux | Anyone here hack in java? | 13:51 |
BigRedS | Hah. I had a go at Java once | 13:52 |
jutnux | It is quite gooood | 13:53 |
jacobw | i hate java | 13:53 |
BigRedS | I needed to write about 40K before I could start solving the problem | 13:53 |
Darael | jutnux: Someone probably does. There are a hundred and nineteen nicks in here, after all, and only a /few/ of them are bots. | 13:53 |
BigRedS | in Perl, I just need to write "#! /usr/bin/perl" and I can get on with it | 13:53 |
jutnux | In java, I just have to open up eclipse ;) | 13:53 |
Darael | On the other hand, BigRedS, some languages have tentacles, but Perl /is/ tentacles. | 13:54 |
BigRedS | I'm sure it has its plus points, but I'm not patient enough for it :) | 13:54 |
jacobw | that's why i hate java | 13:54 |
jutnux | I like Python too | 13:54 |
jutnux | When I was 9 I made a notepad app in VB.net | 13:54 |
jutnux | Too cool. | 13:54 |
BigRedS | Darael: I'm still not sure whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that Perl always seems to do _exactly_ what I meant. | 13:54 |
Darael | Ew, VB.net. | 13:54 |
jutnux | I was 9 :-( | 13:54 |
BigRedS | It implies a good deal of wrongness in my head... | 13:54 |
Darael | BigRedS: Worrying. Functioning DWIM is not supposed to have been implemented yet. | 13:55 |
BigRedS | Haha, I know! It's going to catch me out one day, I'm sure | 13:55 |
Darael | jutnux: Oh, fair enough. No negative reflection on thee, then. But still, ew, VB.net. | 13:55 |
jutnux | Yes, it is disgusting. | 13:55 |
BigRedS | is vb.net markedly different to vb? | 13:56 |
BigRedS | not that ever saw much of that, either | 13:56 |
jacobw | BigRedS: i have the same 'problem' with perl | 13:57 |
jutnux | Never used Perl. | 13:57 |
BigRedS | jacobw: it's a bit embarrasing talking about it to non-perl people, I find | 13:57 |
jacobw | i would have said 'normal people' but 'non-perl people' works too | 13:58 |
BigRedS | haha | 13:58 |
penguin42 | BigRedS: Now you're actually supposed to use env aren't you rather than #!/usr/bin/perl ? | 13:58 |
BigRedS | penguin42: arguably, yeah. But I've never had /usr/bin/perl not work, though we do still have some machines without a working env... | 13:59 |
penguin42 | ah | 14:00 |
Darael | Not to mention if there's more than one version of the interpreter in question installed, using env can result in the wrong one launching. | 14:00 |
BigRedS | well, you get that with this, too. It's just more predictable which potentially wrong one you get | 14:02 |
Darael | True. | 14:03 |
BigRedS | Ooh. They finished painting the Forth Bridge | 14:05 |
SuprEngr | BigRedS, not once the wives find out they haven't ;) | 14:15 |
jacobw | does anyone know who the interviewee on bbc news is? | 14:44 |
jacobw | right now | 14:44 |
brobostigon | jacobw: razia iqbal ? | 14:45 |
brobostigon | justin cartwright. | 14:45 |
jacobw | yes | 14:45 |
jacobw | thank you :) | 14:45 |
brobostigon | :) | 14:45 |
brobostigon | jacobw: i simply pressed my red button, and it popped up all the info. | 14:46 |
MooDoo | well i've moved my works desktop machine from Fedora to Ubuntu....:S | 15:08 |
jutnux | BigRedS: Just programming and I keep seeing sad faces :'( | 15:29 |
penguin42 | not this unhappy lemur? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-16125673 | 15:30 |
BigRedS | jutnux: haha! Sorry about that | 15:31 |
BigRedS | jutnux: I ended up subconciously avoiding them and getting syntax errors all over the shop :/ | 15:31 |
Azelphur | How on earth can ifconfig return...nothing? | 15:51 |
MartijnVdS | Azelphur: if no intefaces are up | 15:53 |
Darael | Something took all of them including lo down? | 15:53 |
Azelphur | ifconfig -a shows stuff | 15:54 |
MartijnVdS | Azelphur: also, use "ip link" and "ip addr", not ifconfig | 15:54 |
Azelphur | *shrug* | 15:54 |
MartijnVdS | ip > ifconfig | 15:54 |
MartijnVdS | iw > iwconfig | 15:54 |
Azelphur | guess I'll try rebooting it and see if that fixes it, weird. | 15:54 |
MartijnVdS | the Windows solution! | 15:54 |
MartijnVdS | Azelphur: you could just ifup -a | 15:54 |
Azelphur | INDEED | 15:54 |
Azelphur | http://geek-news.mtv.com/2011/12/08/mojang-and-lego-team-up-for-minecraft-lego-sets/ | 15:56 |

* penguin42 had noticed a lot of Lego branded things this year - I think they had a book and a board game | 15:57 | |
jutnux | Anyone seen the lego tree? | 16:14 |
jutnux | In Birmingham I think it is | 16:14 |

christel | :) | 17:01 |
Laney | sweet | 17:05 |
Azelphur | lol at this site, http://www.youhavedownloaded.com | 17:24 |
Azelphur | It tells me that I'm using a private tracker or may not torrent at all, which is the polar opposite of the truth :P | 17:25 |
Azelphur | also, 192.168.1.1 seems to do a lot of piracy. | 17:25 |
Darael | Azelphur: Doesn't have any records on me, either. | 17:26 |
Azelphur | lol | 17:26 |
Azelphur | Darael: it's funny because I perform multiple downloads on public trackers on a daily basis. | 17:26 |
mgdm | I didn't know there were that many Linux distros around! | 17:26 |
Azelphur | Indeed! | 17:26 |
Darael | Yes, I torrent a reasonable amount, too (though not as much as thee, Azelphur!). | 17:27 |
Azelphur | if you put 192.168.1.1 into the search box it comes up with lots of evil stuff 192.168.1.1 has done | 17:27 |
Azelphur | xD | 17:27 |
Darael | That's interesting, considering that there's usually only a router on that address. | 17:27 |
Azelphur | 192.168.1.2 and .3 are misbehaving too | 17:28 |
Darael | That, I would expect. | 17:28 |
Azelphur | seems like most of the block too, haha | 17:28 |
Darael | Ditto 192.168.{0,2}.* | 17:28 |
Darael | Funny, that. | 17:29 |
Azelphur | indeed, gotta wonder if it's catching their internal network haha | 17:29 |
Darael | I wonder how it's getting the IP addresses to attribute downloads to. | 17:29 |
Azelphur | Darael: It looks like it's hosted inside godaddy, perhaps it's picking up all the piracy that goes on inside godaddy xD | 17:32 |
Darael | Azelphur: Heh. | 17:32 |
jutnux | I want a deadmau5 mask :-( | 17:50 |
christel | deadmau5 <3 | 17:58 |
jutnux | I'm more of a metal guy myself | 17:58 |
jutnux | but deadmau5 is good | 17:58 |
christel | :) | 17:58 |
Azelphur | does anyone know a decent place that sells nice heavily customizable laptops like this http://www.xoticpc.com/custom-gaming-laptops-notebooks-15416-laptops-ct-95_51_149.html | 18:30 |
Azelphur | but in the UK | 18:30 |
penguin42 | only alienware | 18:46 |
Azelphur | :( | 18:58 |
Azelphur | alienware charges like 2x as much as xotipc :( | 19:09 |
ali1234 | Azelphur: most likely they only scan the most popular torrents | 19:10 |
Azelphur | ali1234: :P | 19:10 |
ali1234 | so if you don't download jersey shore or whatever, then they won't see you | 19:11 |
Azelphur | ali1234: *shrug* I pretty much do that, haha | 19:12 |
ali1234 | actually i'm starting to think the site is a pure scam | 19:14 |
ali1234 | can anyone confirm that it's at all accurate? | 19:14 |
Azelphur | none of my friends have had any sane results off it | 19:16 |
gord | the way they do it is the same way they do anything else, they just connect to torrents they get from various sites/feeds and grab the ips of everyone else in the swarm - it picked up some japanese tv shows i downloaded once | 19:20 |
gord | which is specific enough if you ask me | 19:20 |
MartijnVdS | yeah, only one person in the UK downloads hentai | 19:22 |
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||

MartijnVdS | \o | 19:56 |
jutnux | My school has started using memes | 20:02 |
jutnux | "Bins weren't cool *baby face* until I started using them" | 20:03 |
MartijnVdS | jutnux: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-best-of-the-college-freshman-meme ? | 20:03 |
jutnux | Nope I'm British | 20:03 |
jutnux | And in a High School | 20:03 |
jacobw | jutnux: how does one 'start using memes'? | 20:24 |
MartijnVdS | how does one not use memes | 20:25 |
jutnux | jacobw: They started putting them on bins, on walls everything. | 20:25 |
jutnux | Theyre using QR codes yet we aren't allowed phones. | 20:25 |
MartijnVdS | in my day, we decode qr codes with a slide rule and LIKED it | 20:27 |
jacobw | hehe | 20:27 |
jacobw | i'm confused by the use of 'meme' to refer to an object | 20:29 |
MartijnVdS | I think he means pictures | 20:29 |
jacobw | memes are a concept | 20:29 |
MartijnVdS | like from quickmeme | 20:29 |
MartijnVdS | or rage comics | 20:29 |
jacobw | oh, i see | 20:29 |
MartijnVdS | http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/35c6do/ | 20:31 |
SuprEngr | A meme a day keeps the boredom away! | 20:32 |
MartijnVdS | use ALL the memes | 20:32 |
MartijnVdS | (or at least alot of memes) | 20:32 |
jutnux | I was a lover of memes, until I got an arrow through the knee. | 20:32 |

BigRedS | I've never unsterstood the idea of obscuring the bit that the camera is focusing on | 20:46 |
MartijnVdS | must be a german thing | 20:46 |
jutnux | Must have private details or something | 20:46 |
jutnux | When they are looking at the PDa that is | 20:46 |
BigRedS | yeah, I'd have just thought that if you want to video it, you just tape over it | 20:47 |
MartijnVdS | black bar it | 20:47 |
MartijnVdS | or something | 20:47 |
MartijnVdS | not the entire centre of the video | 20:47 |

Guest62342 | Hi all. I've just cloned my main disk to my spare... how do I now get my machine to boot from sdb instead of sda? | 21:59 |
Darael | Reorder the disks in the BIOS? | 22:01 |
Darael | Bear in mind that the disk that was formerly sdb will, IIRC, be reported as SDA when one boots from it. | 22:02 |
Guest62342 | Thanks, I did change to HDD boot priority but it's still running off the original :-( | 22:02 |
Guest62342 | Maybe I'll have to swap the jumpers over on the disks? | 22:03 |
gordonjcp | Darael: o_O | 22:04 |
gordonjcp | Darael: doesn't that rather depend on the order in which it detects the physical disks? | 22:05 |
Darael | One would think so. I'm going off hazy memory of my last multi-disk multiboot scenario rather than logic. | 22:05 |
jutnux | Cashew nuts are so nice jeeeeeze | 22:05 |
Guest62342 | I'll revisit BIOS again... just in case. If it's still booting from the Seagate I'll swap jumper to get the WD as Primary Master... I'll be back :-) | 22:07 |

mikeatvillage | Darael: Eventually got my machine to boot off sdb by making it the first HDD in boot priority and sda as third ! | 22:34 |
Darael | mikeatvillage: Interesting. | 22:35 |
mikeatvillage | darael: more like weird :-) | 22:35 |
Darael | That too :) | 22:35 |
mikeatvillage | darael: Thanks for your help | 22:36 |
Darael | It wasn't particularly helpful help, I'm afraid. However. | 22:37 |
