| daubers | morning | 09:35 |
| MartijnVdS | hellos | 09:35 |
| popey | morning all | 09:55 |
| christel | morning -uk :) | 09:57 |
| daubers | woot! Another OU assessment done | 10:15 |
| bigcalm | Good morning my fair people | 10:17 |
| awilkins | This church has surprisingly good mobile signal. Would have thought all the lead on the roof would block it. | 10:26 |
| ali1234 | probably been nicked | 10:26 |
| awilkins | The organ pipes must be like a phased-array antenna or something. | 10:27 |
| awilkins | Or sold off by the vicar and replaced with three sheets of Mylar | 10:28 |
| awilkins | Oh great, a smoker sat near me | 10:28 |
| awilkins | 2nd hand smokestench for 2 hours :( | 10:29 |
| MartijnVdS | another reason for atheism :P | 10:29 |
| ali1234 | wait are you ircing from a sermon? | 10:29 |
| awilkins | As if you hadn't guessed, am here to avert emotional blackmail repercussions. | 10:29 |
| awilkins | Wifelet is a godbotherer | 10:30 |
| ali1234 | that's not very pious | 10:30 |
| gordonjc1 | pipe organs are the best thing about churches | 10:31 |
| === gordonjc1 is now known as gordonjcp | ||
| gordonjcp | a pipe organ is the best way to get serious bass | 10:32 |
| gordonjcp | all the dubstep kiddies are Doing It Wrong | 10:33 |
| bigcalm | Mmmmmmmm, bass | 10:33 |
| awilkins | And they were mentioned in Cryptonomicon which makes them practically geekchic | 10:33 |
| bigcalm | I do like to hear an organ being played when I stumble upon a church or cathedral (usually on holiday and visiting something grand)) | 10:34 |
| bigcalm | awilkins: so you'll be off to midnight mass? | 10:34 |
| awilkins | Not catholic | 10:36 |
| awilkins | Wifelet and child are singing | 10:36 |
| danfish_ | awilkins: wifelet? Are you Lord Bath? How many have you got? | 10:37 |
| danfish_ | morning btw | 10:37 |
| bigcalm | Freecycle is the best source for new and weird words. Somebody is offering a roof rack that is "adjusterable" | 10:37 |
| MartijnVdS | bigcalm: Adjustissimo! | 10:37 |
| gordonjcp | bigcalm: hah | 10:37 |
| gordonjcp | you know what I don't quite get about freecycle? | 10:38 |
| MartijnVdS | the 'free' bit? | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | the sheer number of people freecycling breast pumps | 10:38 |
| bigcalm | Giving stuff away? | 10:38 |
| bigcalm | Haha | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | just... what? | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | why would you want a used one? | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | is it some sort of code for something? | 10:38 |
| shauno | you should try to find out. see how many you can collect before something strange happens. I'm sure it'll make an interesting story one day | 10:41 |
| shauno | I can understand the motivation tho. it's a bit of kit that they've considered foodsafe for however long, probably hopefully) sterilized on a disturbingly regular basis, and then retired at a relatively young age | 10:44 |
| shauno | but the moment it's second-hand, it's haraam | 10:44 |
| ali1234 | i should put all my junk on freecycle | 10:46 |
| awilkins | So far, we've had : wrath, hegemony as reward for child-murder. Who knows whats next? | 10:53 |
| awilkins | Ignorance of basic biology! | 11:01 |
| shauno | to quote the internet, "you're doing it wrong". you're meant to suspend all logical analysis at the door. otherwise you'll only end up in tears. and possibily mildly offended | 11:03 |
| MartijnVdS | \o/ CHDK | 11:29 |
| brobostigon | good mornign everyone. | 11:31 |
| MartijnVdS | hi brobostigon | 11:32 |
| * MartijnVdS is making a time-lapse video of the sky | 11:32 | |
| MartijnVdS | nice dramatic hail clouds :) | 11:32 |
| brobostigon | hi MartijnVdS | 11:32 |
| zleap | hello | 11:40 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: cool, sounds interesting. :) | 11:40 |
| MartijnVdS | Lightning! | 11:41 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: If you have a Canon point&shoot camera (Ixus, Powershot), look up CHDK | 11:41 |
| zleap | thats the calender and to do list add on for TB iirc | 11:41 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: it's a custom firmware that runs in the RAM of the camera only (so no warranty issues) | 11:41 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: ah, interesting, i will have a look, didnt know that was possible. | 11:42 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: and it's scriptable using Lua or Basic | 11:44 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: interesting, | 11:46 |
| MartijnVdS | I've set mine to do a shot every 4 seconds | 11:47 |
| MartijnVdS | so every minute I get 1 second of 12 FPS video | 11:48 |
| MartijnVdS | (below that, it loses smoothness) | 11:48 |
| zleap | what do i need to restore the boot loader on a computer that was dual boot winxp and ubuntu but a windows re-install has trashed the boot loader i have booted a 11.10 | 12:03 |
| MartijnVdS | zleap: grub-install | 12:06 |
| zleap | thanks | 12:06 |
| zleap | do i need to specify the first partition on the drive e.g sda | 12:10 |
| zleap | or what ever it is, | 12:10 |
| MartijnVdS | no | 12:10 |
| MartijnVdS | /dev/sda is good | 12:10 |
| zleap | ok | 12:10 |
| zleap | and grub should find where ubuntu is installed to | 12:10 |
| MartijnVdS | zleap: it knows :) | 12:10 |
| zleap | ok | 12:10 |
| zleap | ok that fails | 12:17 |
| zleap | as I am used to 11.04, how do I from a live cd mount the windows hard disk | 12:17 |
| zleap | in 11.04 theres a places menu | 12:17 |
| MartijnVdS | open nautilus, then click on it? | 12:18 |
| zleap | ok | 12:18 |
| MartijnVdS | heh | 12:26 |
| MartijnVdS | encoding h264 video | 12:26 |
| MartijnVdS | at 0.25 fps | 12:26 |
| MartijnVdS | using all my CPU cores | 12:26 |
| penguin42 | how many? | 12:26 |
| MartijnVdS | 4 cores | 12:26 |
| MartijnVdS | maybe it's 2 + hyperthreading | 12:26 |
| penguin42 | which CPU? | 12:27 |
| MartijnVdS | model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 530 @ 2.93GHz | 12:27 |
| MartijnVdS | the i3 bit might be the issue | 12:28 |
| * MartijnVdS is saving money for an Ivy Bridge i7 in April-May | 12:28 | |
| MartijnVdS | that should be able to hardware-encode h264 | 12:28 |
| penguin42 | MartijnVdS: http://ark.intel.com/products/46472/Intel-Core-i3-530-Processor-(4M-Cache-2_93-GHz) 2 cores, 4 threads | 12:29 |
| penguin42 | still, I'm surprised it's that bad - what res video? | 12:29 |
| zleap | ok typing grub-instlall results in it saying it can't find a device, is /dev mounted | 12:31 |
| zleap | i will just re-install its easier | 12:31 |
| zleap | there used to be a gui tool for this, but it's gone | 12:31 |
| MartijnVdS | zleap: you have to chroot into the installed path | 12:32 |
| zleap | how do i do tjhat | 12:32 |
| MartijnVdS | zleap: (also, bind-mount /dev and /proc and /sys) | 12:32 |
| MartijnVdS | zleap: 1 moment | 12:32 |
| MartijnVdS | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 12:33 |
| MartijnVdS | penguin42: those new Ivy Bridge i7 CPUs are supposed to have 6-8 cores with 2 threads/core | 12:35 |
| penguin42 | MartijnVdS: In the single socket ones? | 12:35 |
| penguin42 | MartijnVdS: You can get a 6 core i7 now I think (core extreme something or other) | 12:36 |
| MartijnVdS | penguin42: yes.. but I don't have enough money yet ;)( | 12:36 |
| penguin42 | yeh, they're not cheap | 12:36 |
| MartijnVdS | penguin42: hm.. Ivy Bridge "Performance" will be 4 cores/8 threads | 12:36 |
| zleap | ok, given there is nothing important on that partition, and alli wanted to do was restore grub so i could boot into ubuntu to make a live cdrom I(wndows sucks at that) would it be easier to simply make a usb flash disk boot with 12.04 and do it that way just reinstall with 12.04 | 12:37 |
| MartijnVdS | zleap: Windows 7 can burn ISOs straight out of the box | 12:38 |
| MartijnVdS | zleap: also, unetbootin :) | 12:39 |
| penguin42 | zleap: Hmm remember 12.04 is in alpha - anything may break and you might need to recover | 12:41 |
| zleap | penguin42, i know its on a 2nd system anyway | 12:46 |
| MartijnVdS | 2nd system effect? | 12:47 |
| zleap | i have a 2nd pc which iks space hence i have it dual boot with windows and ubuntu, so its for messing around with anyway | 12:47 |
| zleap | is spare | 12:48 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: http://youtu.be/B9fyGO2i6Fk | 12:53 |
| zleap | ok windows xp sucks at that | 12:54 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: looks good, :) | 12:55 |
| zleap | ok i am off to have a play with 12.04 which looks good in virtual box btw | 12:58 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: making a new (longer) one with more cloud coolness | 13:39 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: :) | 13:41 |
| MartijnVdS | even the import in shotwell looks amazing :) | 13:42 |
| brobostigon | :) | 13:42 |
| MartijnVdS | it's going to take a bit longer to encode too | 13:43 |
| MartijnVdS | (more images) | 13:43 |
| brobostigon | yes. | 13:44 |
| MartijnVdS | uploading.. :) | 14:06 |
| MartijnVdS | (8 minutes remaining) | 14:06 |
| brobostigon | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cVKL9XWZMM&feature=related :) | 14:13 |
| MartijnVdS | hey that's the background/intro music for the radio version :) | 14:13 |
| brobostigon | also the film, but yes originally the radio series. :) | 14:14 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: http://youtu.be/5Idee9HRQrc (will be online shortly) | 14:14 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: ok, let me look in a mo. | 14:14 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: i like that piece of music, just the banjo, and pretty much nothing else, it is amazing really. | 14:15 |
| MartijnVdS | I think my dad might have it on vinyl - he has loads of Eagles on vinyl | 14:16 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: it is by no band. it was made for that, by the band that did the music for the radio series, if memory serves. | 14:17 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbhAf62wfgE | 14:17 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: it's by the Eagles | 14:17 |
| AlanBell | my fingers hurt | 14:17 |
| MartijnVdS | AlanBell: what did you do? | 14:17 |
| AlanBell | I need to be better at not picking up soldering irons from the wrong end | 14:17 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: wow, interesting, i did not know. | 14:18 |
| AlanBell | but on the plus side, the robot circuit board is complete and ready for testing | 14:18 |
| MartijnVdS | AlanBell: A coworker has a t-shirt "If it smells like chicken, you're holding it wrong" | 14:18 |
| AlanBell | I was teaching the kids how to solder safely :) | 14:19 |
| brobostigon | lol :) | 14:19 |
| SuprEngr | hi all.. and AlanBell ... try it when working in a friends garden... burn causes a drop of iron onto wire - daft instint makes you turn around and put one hand on ground - other on wire.... ffffthcccchhhh = ouch - bang - burn | 14:21 |
| SuprEngr | *instinct ;) | 14:22 |
| SuprEngr | Anyone know of a way to get Rhytjmbox [in 10.04] to open in Podcast view rather than music view. gconf no help. | 14:36 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 15:06 |
| penguin42 | dal.net is really unhappy today | 15:44 |
| mattt | people still chat on dal.net? | 16:18 |
| penguin42 | mattt: There is a #science that I occupy; it's not particularly busy but I don't know of another | 16:30 |
| mgdm | #occupyscience | 16:39 |
| penguin42 | it's difficult, if you claim to be the 99% they ask you to prove it | 16:44 |
| mgdm | heh heh | 16:44 |

| popey | AlanBell: you about? | 20:49 |
| popey | AlanBell: one person is getting cruddy audio from your mumble server, can't figure out why | 20:51 |
| AlanBell | hi | 20:52 |
| shauno | are they on the same client/platform as everyone else? Most problems I've run into with that sorta thing, have been the availability of various codecs in various implementations | 20:53 |
| popey | we're both on 11.10 | 20:54 |
| zleap | hi | 22:12 |
| zleap | 12.04 looks pretty cool | 22:12 |
| brobostigon | good night everyone, sleep well. | 22:41 |
| les_h | anyone here have any samba wisdom? I can't figure out what's going wrong | 23:06 |
| gordonjcp | don't ask to ask | 23:07 |
| les_h | I'm afraid my question really is that vague. It's not working and I don't know how to proceede | 23:09 |
| gordonjcp | well without a crystal ball it's hard to know where to start | 23:09 |
| gordonjcp | what have you tried? what happened when you tried it? what did you expect? | 23:09 |
| AlanBell | !samba | 23:10 |
| lubotu3 | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 23:10 |
| AlanBell | might be some troubleshoting info there | 23:11 |
| les_h | I followed the how-to instructions ( http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html ) and also created a guest share. testparm says it's ok and i can connect with smbclient to localhost and it's advertised on avahi and shows up on my mac, but when i try to connect there, i get a connection failed | 23:11 |
| les_h | nmblookup -d 2 '*' returns a bunch of lines of tdb(/var/run/samba/unexpected.tdb): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/run/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory | 23:12 |
