| daubers | Morning | 08:16 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone, | 10:04 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 10:07 |
| brobostigon | o/ MartijnVdS | 10:07 |
| MartijnVdS | \o/ all tests successful | 10:12 |
| brobostigon | : | 10:13 |
| brobostigon | :) | 10:13 |
| brobostigon | can an app, ran in inside wine, use and or access a device connected to the usb? | 10:22 |
| AlanBell | http://wiki.winehq.org/USB | 10:24 |
| AlanBell | so maybe if you build it yourself, I doubt the version in Ubuntu has those patches | 10:24 |
| brobostigon | thank you AlanBell | 10:24 |
| brobostigon | i am using the version in debian. | 10:25 |
| brobostigon | ok. | 10:25 |
| AlanBell | all looks a bit experimental :) | 10:25 |
| brobostigon | agreed :) | 10:25 |
| AlanBell | czajkowski: danfish: did you manage to use the groupon voucher? | 10:39 |
| jacobw | morning | 10:48 |
| * popey sighs http://www.fernhilllinuxproject.com | 11:11 | |
| czajkowski | AlanBell: morning | 11:13 |
| czajkowski | not looked at groupon | 11:14 |
| czajkowski | have to go sprt that out this week | 11:14 |
| AlanBell | ok, the voucher seems unuseable, I emailed their support about it | 11:14 |
| czajkowski | what do you mean unuseable | 11:14 |
| czajkowski | some you have to contact the organisaion first and give the code, some are different | 11:15 |
| czajkowski | popey: not a nice windows logo :/ | 11:15 |
| AlanBell | czajkowski: the voucher is valid from 25/02/12 to 25/02/12 and you have to use it 7 days in advance of it's valid from date | 11:16 |
| czajkowski | AlanBell: did you go to http://grouponbookings.co.uk/london-irish-rugby-club/ | 11:19 |
| czajkowski | hmm | 11:23 |
| czajkowski | I'll wait till tomorrow and poke | 11:23 |
| czajkowski | usually it's 2 days after you buy them they work | 11:23 |
| czajkowski | and given it's been a bank holiday | 11:23 |
| AlanBell | czajkowski: yes, and it didn't work | 11:23 |
| AlanBell | I am sure it can be sorted, was just checking it wasn't just me being clueless | 11:24 |
| hoover | hi folks, happy new year to all | 11:29 |
| directhex | http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/finger/finger.pl?user=icculus&date=2012-01-02&time=03-11-15 is an interesting read. | 11:30 |
| czajkowski | AlanBell: aye I'm sure it will be | 11:34 |
| MartijnVdS | directhex: ooh, technical details about GL things ♥ :) | 11:34 |
| Nafallo | hmm | 11:44 |
| * Nafallo debates how much leave he'll need for the damn olympics | 11:45 | |
| MartijnVdS | Nafallo: ALL of it :) | 11:50 |
| Nafallo | it kinda seems that way. | 11:50 |
| Nafallo | all I had left after my already planned trips at least. | 11:50 |
| MartijnVdS | I was planning on avoiding the UK this year because of the 'lympics | 11:52 |
| Nafallo | 27th July until 12th August, and it's not likely wise to travel during them days either. | 11:53 |
| Nafallo | will eeed padding days around it. | 11:53 |
| danfish | AlanBell: not looked at it yet - job for tomorrow | 11:55 |
| mattt | AlanBell: my fiancee mentioned something about that voucher too, i'll ask her for clarity today | 13:44 |
| Ng | damn, I seem to have bought the wrong ram for my microserver | 15:06 |
| Ng | either that or I bought the right RAM and it doesn't work. not quite sure how to tell ;) | 15:06 |
| popey | what ram did you buy Ng ? | 15:07 |
| popey | i recently bought some, we can compare | 15:07 |
| Ng | popey: https://twitter.com/#!/cmsj/status/153853909155323905/photo/1 | 15:07 |
| popey | http://popey.com/~alan/dmi.txt | 15:08 |
| Ng | afaict it's the right speed, and it's Registered-ECC, so I was really expecting it to work, but the BIOS doesn't seem to do anything | 15:08 |
| popey | Ng: http://www.ebuyer.com/172949-kingston-8gb-2x4gb-ddr3-1333mhz-i5-memory-kit-non-ecc-cl9-1-5v-kvr1333d3n9k2-8g | 15:11 |
| Ng | hmm, perhaps buying Registered ram was the mistake | 15:12 |
| Ng | popey: hey that's non-ECC. I thought the thing required ECC? | 15:12 |
| popey | well mine works | 15:13 |
| Ng | dammit! | 15:13 |
| Ng | I spent nearly that much for 2*2GB ECC | 15:13 |
| popey | alan@ubuntuserver:~$ dmesg | grep ECC | 15:13 |
| popey | [ 7.437157] EDAC amd64: This node reports that Memory ECC is currently disabled, set F3x44[22] (0000:00:18.3). | 15:13 |
| popey | [ 7.437171] EDAC amd64: ECC disabled in the BIOS or no ECC capability, module will not load. | 15:13 |
| popey | [ 7.437174] Either enable ECC checking or force module loading by setting 'ecc_enable_override'. | 15:13 |
| Ng | well fine :) | 15:15 |
| Ng | ta | 15:15 |
| Ng | at least that makes this a cheap mistake to fix ;) | 15:15 |
| Ng | well, a mistake that's cheap to fix. | 15:16 |
| * daubers has spent most of the day designing an enclosure for his nanode | 15:27 | |
| daubers | need to run up to the hackspace one evening this week and laser cut it | 15:27 |
| Ng | popey: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Komputerbay-1333Mhz-10600-10666-9-9-9-25/dp/B003OSTDPI/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1325518038&sr=1-3 looks pretty similar, and is in line with my Prime bias ;) | 15:51 |
| popey | haha | 15:51 |
| jacobw | where did the recipes on ubuntu-uk.org go? | 16:07 |
| AlanBell | http://ubuntu-uk.org/category/recipes/ got one to add? | 16:14 |
| jacobw | well, i'm following a recipe to make lentil chilli, if it works i'll summarise it for our recipes page with the humain obtainable ingredients i'm using | 16:20 |
| jacobw | human* | 16:20 |
| popey | jacobw: i look forward to that | 16:23 |
| Myrtti | mmmmm lentils | 17:01 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 17:38 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 17:38 |
| daubers | o/ | 17:39 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Evening all. Good start to the New Year... Just had two phone calls from my Local pub saying I've won in their draw :-) (twice) :-D. Better go and collect my winnings later then | 17:46 |
| jacobw | awesome | 17:46 |
| penguin42 | TheOpenSourcerer: How long do you reckon it will take you to drink them? | 17:47 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | penguin42: Dunno. Think it will be bottles of wine or something. | 17:48 |
| jutnux | Evening lads / ladettes. | 18:08 |
| jacobw | i think most people would reject both those labels | 18:19 |
| jacobw | especially the latter :P | 18:19 |
| jacobw | anyway, good evening :) | 18:20 |
| danfish | evening all | 19:05 |
| danfish | My guts have proclaimed Christmas and New Year's officially over | 19:05 |
| danfish | My liver has decided to fly south for January :/ | 19:06 |
| danfish | only 360 days until we at start again! | 19:07 |

| smittix | heh thats my main machines hostname too! | 19:10 |
| mattt | so did anyone get those dang groupon rugby codes to work? | 19:16 |
| DJones | Poor Wopr, retired..... | 19:18 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Any bikers? https://submissions.epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/22251 | 19:20 |
| danfish | mattt: will try tomorrow | 19:21 |
| mattt | danfish: k, let us know how you get on | 19:22 |
| danfish | np | 19:23 |
| smittix | Cops love my custom Bandit TheOpenSourcerer | 19:24 |
| ali1234 | where's that petition about automatically rejecting any petition that uses incorrect spelling or grammar? | 19:25 |
| DJones | Damm. Why has nobody invented the bottomless jar of mustard | 19:27 |
| AlanBell | there is always at least one more serving of mustard in the jar if you jiggle the knife about in it for long enough | 19:27 |
| DJones | you've not seem a mustard jar after i've been at it | 19:28 |
| * daubers really wonders about the ethics of the tv licencing agency some days | 19:50 | |
| daubers | Wonder if I they would still take me to court if I asked them to pay my costs when they're found to be wrong | 19:57 |
| daubers | What they want from me = £120, what I'd force them to pay for wasting my time ~£5k | 19:58 |
| daubers | total cost to the court system, probably >£10k | 19:58 |
| * daubers ponders writing to his MP suggesting that the cuts center around the TV licencing agency. They seem to have too many bored lawyers | 19:59 | |
| Laney | they are going to take you to court? | 19:59 |
| czajkowski | daubers: is the law the same as .ie for just having a tv you need a license regarless of watching broadcasting tv or not | 20:00 |
| Laney | no | 20:00 |
| daubers | Laney: They're threatening to take me to court. Not actually saying tey will | 20:00 |
| Laney | oh, yeah, I've had those before. Just ignore them. | 20:00 |
| daubers | Laney: They sent a letter saying that detector vans where in the area, then sent me this one saying that I ignored their previous letter, here is what I need to know for when they take me to court | 20:01 |
| Laney | look for all the may, might, possibly, etc | 20:01 |
| DJones | daubers: Have you told them you don't need a tv licence and the reasons why? We get letters like that at work & I just notify them of why we don't need on, and thats normally enough. Ignoring the letters is a potential black hole though | 20:01 |
| daubers | I'm tempted to send them a letter back saying that they've ignored my previous correspondance about not requiring a TV licence, here is what they may need to know if I decide to take them to court | 20:01 |
| daubers | DJones: About 15 times | 20:01 |
| Laney | they can't randomly take people to court | 20:02 |
| DJones | daubers: In that case, I'd say let them take you court and instruct your solicitor to apply for damages/fee's so you're not out of pocket | 20:02 |
| Laney | and AFAIK there is no evidence of detector vans being real | 20:02 |
| daubers | Laney: The way these things are worded is tantamount to blackmail | 20:02 |
| Laney | basically you should call their bluff, and watch as nothing happens | 20:03 |
| * Laney gtg | 20:03 | |
| DJones | Plus £10K per letter/notification you've already sent, for the inconvinience of replying that they've ignored | 20:03 |
| daubers | tempted to throw together a little bot that will just fill in their web form 100,000 times to say that I don't need a TV licenec | 20:09 |
| AlanBell | czajkowski: TV license is for live or nearly live TV | 20:12 |
| AlanBell | or stuff that you record live | 20:12 |
| daubers | (as your TV is watching it for you) | 20:15 |
| daubers | Could really do with an electric monk around here | 20:15 |
| daubers | Also there is no TV Licensing agency, it's run by Capita | 20:16 |
| gordonjcp | daubers: I had one | 20:16 |
| daubers | who tend to put words such as "selling" in their job ads | 20:16 |
| gordonjcp | but the man from the monk shop said it needed a whole new motherboard | 20:17 |
| daubers | gordonjcp: Been ages since I read that book | 20:19 |
| gordonjcp | :-) | 20:19 |
| ali1234 | i concur that you should call their bluff | 20:20 |
| ali1234 | also detector vans aren't real, unless you count a normal van with a guy in it who looks through your window for a TV | 20:21 |
| daubers | I'd also question whether they can take you to court when they only contact you as "The legal occupier" | 20:23 |
| gordonjcp | ali1234: not now, but they did exist | 20:24 |
| daubers | Surprised the vans weren't illegal under wiretapping laws | 20:25 |
| gordonjcp | daubers: what wires would they be tapping? | 20:25 |
| gordonjcp | afaik the last of them were scrapped about ten years ago | 20:26 |
| mgdm | gordonjcp: what did they look for? The IF? | 20:28 |
| gordonjcp | mgdm: scan coils | 20:34 |
| gordonjcp | mgdm: if you have a CRT television you can find it pretty accurately by listening for the harmonics from the scan coils | 20:35 |
| mgdm | ahh | 20:35 |
| gordonjcp | tune basically anywhere on a longwave radio and you'll find a sharp null end-on with the aerial | 20:36 |
| daubers | could put a foi request in to see if the numbers they're reporting are actually true or not | 20:37 |
| daubers | Nice, they class everyone without a licence as an evader for the official statistics http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/about/foi-licences-facts-and-figures-AB18/ | 20:43 |
| daubers | Also intrigued by the fact that the number of people who don't renew their licence has been ignored under section 31 of the FoI act | 20:46 |
| daubers | Not entirley sure why they would do that.... | 20:46 |
| mgdm | ಠ_ಠ | 20:49 |
| Semperfi30 | Hello, I was wondering if someone could tell me where all of the boot configuration files are located in Ubuntu 11.10. I am rsyncing my website to a VDS and I need to exclude all boot related files and folders from the sync process. | 20:58 |
| daubers | Semperfi30: Surely it'd be easier to just rsync the folders containing the website data rather than the whole thing with lots of exclusions? | 21:21 |

| Semperfi30 | not* | 22:27 |

| jacobw | :D | 23:37 |
| jutnux | Are you hosted on bitfolk? | 23:37 |
| jacobw | on bytemark | 23:37 |
| * jutnux facepalms | 23:39 | |
| jutnux | Cntrl+W'd on the wrong app | 23:39 |
| * hamitron would get a different provider, if he wasn't so tight | 23:39 | |
| jutnux | What provider do you use hamitron? | 23:40 |
| hamitron | buyvm | 23:40 |
| hamitron | but a vps is something I like and use, but never get around to using as much as I would like | 23:41 |
| hamitron | :D | 23:41 |
| jutnux | Definitely worth the £10 | 23:42 |
| gordonjcp | bitfolk ftw | 23:42 |
| hamitron | per month or year? | 23:42 |
| jutnux | month | 23:42 |
| jacobw | social policy in the US is odd | 23:50 |
