[10:24] http://wiki.winehq.org/USB [10:24] so maybe if you build it yourself, I doubt the version in Ubuntu has those patches [10:24] thank you AlanBell [10:25] i am using the version in debian. [10:25] ok. [10:25] all looks a bit experimental :) [10:25] agreed :) [10:39] czajkowski: danfish: did you manage to use the groupon voucher? [10:48] morning [11:11] * popey sighs http://www.fernhilllinuxproject.com [11:13] AlanBell: morning [11:14] not looked at groupon [11:14] have to go sprt that out this week [11:14] ok, the voucher seems unuseable, I emailed their support about it [11:14] what do you mean unuseable [11:15] some you have to contact the organisaion first and give the code, some are different [11:15] popey: not a nice windows logo :/ [11:16] 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 [11:19] AlanBell: did you go to http://grouponbookings.co.uk/london-irish-rugby-club/ [11:23] hmm [11:23] I'll wait till tomorrow and poke [11:23] usually it's 2 days after you buy them they work [11:23] and given it's been a bank holiday [11:23] czajkowski: yes, and it didn't work [11:24] I am sure it can be sorted, was just checking it wasn't just me being clueless [11:29] hi folks, happy new year to all [11:30] http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/finger/finger.pl?user=icculus&date=2012-01-02&time=03-11-15 is an interesting read. [11:34] AlanBell: aye I'm sure it will be [11:34] directhex: ooh, technical details about GL things ♥ :) [11:44] hmm [11:45] * Nafallo debates how much leave he'll need for the damn olympics [11:50] Nafallo: ALL of it :) [11:50] it kinda seems that way. [11:50] all I had left after my already planned trips at least. [11:52] I was planning on avoiding the UK this year because of the 'lympics [11:53] 27th July until 12th August, and it's not likely wise to travel during them days either. [11:53] will eeed padding days around it. [11:55] AlanBell: not looked at it yet - job for tomorrow [13:44] AlanBell: my fiancee mentioned something about that voucher too, i'll ask her for clarity today [15:06] damn, I seem to have bought the wrong ram for my microserver [15:06] either that or I bought the right RAM and it doesn't work. not quite sure how to tell ;) [15:07] what ram did you buy Ng ? [15:07] i recently bought some, we can compare [15:07] popey: https://twitter.com/#!/cmsj/status/153853909155323905/photo/1 [15:08] http://popey.com/~alan/dmi.txt [15:08] 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 [15:11] Ng: http://www.ebuyer.com/172949-kingston-8gb-2x4gb-ddr3-1333mhz-i5-memory-kit-non-ecc-cl9-1-5v-kvr1333d3n9k2-8g [15:12] hmm, perhaps buying Registered ram was the mistake [15:12] popey: hey that's non-ECC. I thought the thing required ECC? [15:13] well mine works [15:13] dammit! [15:13] I spent nearly that much for 2*2GB ECC [15:13] alan@ubuntuserver:~$ dmesg | grep ECC [15:13] [ 7.437157] EDAC amd64: This node reports that Memory ECC is currently disabled, set F3x44[22] (0000:00:18.3). [15:13] [ 7.437171] EDAC amd64: ECC disabled in the BIOS or no ECC capability, module will not load. [15:13] [ 7.437174] Either enable ECC checking or force module loading by setting 'ecc_enable_override'. [15:15] well fine :) [15:15] ta [15:15] at least that makes this a cheap mistake to fix ;) [15:16] well, a mistake that's cheap to fix. [15:27] * daubers has spent most of the day designing an enclosure for his nanode [15:27] need to run up to the hackspace one evening this week and laser cut it [15:51] 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] haha [16:07] where did the recipes on ubuntu-uk.org go? [16:14] http://ubuntu-uk.org/category/recipes/ got one to add? [16:20] 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] human* [16:23] jacobw: i look forward to that [17:01] mmmmm lentils [17:38] aloha [17:38] \o [17:39] o/ [17:46] 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] awesome [17:47] TheOpenSourcerer: How long do you reckon it will take you to drink them? [17:48] penguin42: Dunno. Think it will be bottles of wine or something. [18:08] Evening lads / ladettes. [18:19] i think most people would reject both those labels [18:19] especially the latter :P [18:20] anyway, good evening :) [19:05] evening all [19:05] My guts have proclaimed Christmas and New Year's officially over [19:06] My liver has decided to fly south for January :/ [19:07] only 360 days until we at start again! [19:08] * mattt can't wait [19:08] [Alan Pope] Migrating to a New Desktop PC - http://popey.com/blog/2012/01/02/migrating-to-a-new-desktop-pc/ [19:08] 36 [19:08] bah [19:10] heh thats my main machines hostname too! [19:16] so did anyone get those dang groupon rugby codes to work? [19:18] Poor Wopr, retired..... [19:20] Any bikers? https://submissions.epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/22251 [19:21] mattt: will try tomorrow [19:22] danfish: k, let us know how you get on [19:23] np [19:24] Cops love my custom Bandit TheOpenSourcerer [19:25] where's that petition about automatically rejecting any petition that uses incorrect spelling or grammar? [19:27] Damm. Why has nobody invented the bottomless jar of mustard [19:27] there is always at least one more serving of mustard in the jar if you jiggle the knife about in it for long enough [19:28] you've not seem a mustard jar after i've been at it [19:50] * daubers really wonders about the ethics of the tv licencing agency some days [19:57] 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 [19:58] What they want from me = £120, what I'd force them to pay for wasting my time ~£5k [19:58] total cost to the court system, probably >£10k [19:59] * 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] they are going to take you to court? [20:00] 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] no [20:00] Laney: They're threatening to take me to court. Not actually saying tey will [20:00] oh, yeah, I've had those before. Just ignore them. [20:01] 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] look for all the may, might, possibly, etc [20:01] 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] 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] DJones: About 15 times [20:02] they can't randomly take people to court [20:02] 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] and AFAIK there is no evidence of detector vans being real [20:02] Laney: The way these things are worded is tantamount to blackmail [20:03] basically you should call their bluff, and watch as nothing happens [20:03] * Laney gtg [20:03] Plus £10K per letter/notification you've already sent, for the inconvinience of replying that they've ignored [20:09] 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 [20:12] czajkowski: TV license is for live or nearly live TV [20:12] or stuff that you record live [20:15] (as your TV is watching it for you) [20:15] Could really do with an electric monk around here [20:16] Also there is no TV Licensing agency, it's run by Capita [20:16] daubers: I had one [20:16] who tend to put words such as "selling" in their job ads [20:17] but the man from the monk shop said it needed a whole new motherboard [20:19] gordonjcp: Been ages since I read that book [20:19] :-) [20:20] i concur that you should call their bluff [20:21] 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 [20:23] I'd also question whether they can take you to court when they only contact you as "The legal occupier" [20:24] ali1234: not now, but they did exist [20:25] Surprised the vans weren't illegal under wiretapping laws [20:25] daubers: what wires would they be tapping? [20:26] afaik the last of them were scrapped about ten years ago [20:28] gordonjcp: what did they look for? The IF? [20:34] mgdm: scan coils [20:35] mgdm: if you have a CRT television you can find it pretty accurately by listening for the harmonics from the scan coils [20:35] ahh [20:36] tune basically anywhere on a longwave radio and you'll find a sharp null end-on with the aerial [20:37] could put a foi request in to see if the numbers they're reporting are actually true or not [20:43] 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/ [20:46] 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] Not entirley sure why they would do that.... [20:49] ಠ_ಠ [20:58] 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. [21:21] Semperfi30: Surely it'd be easier to just rsync the folders containing the website data rather than the whole thing with lots of exclusions? [22:08] [Alistair McKinlay] Tech Predictions: 2012 - http://www.10people.co.uk/index.php/2012/01/predictions-2012/ [22:27] @daubers sorry I went afk, that would be simpler but no ideal for my current situation. [22:27] not* [22:50] ho-hum [23:30] Anyone got any blogs I can follow? :-D [23:30] * jacobw plans to start blogging this year [23:30] * jutnux just has [23:31] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o24eqIt7Jpo [23:32] jutnux: link? [23:34] jacobw: http://jutnux.co.uk/blog [23:35] cool :) [23:35] so you got that vps? [23:35] Indeed I did. [23:36] It is amazing. [23:37] :D [23:37] Are you hosted on bitfolk? [23:37] on bytemark [23:39] * jutnux facepalms [23:39] Cntrl+W'd on the wrong app [23:39] * hamitron would get a different provider, if he wasn't so tight [23:40] What provider do you use hamitron? [23:40] buyvm [23:41] but a vps is something I like and use, but never get around to using as much as I would like [23:41] :D [23:42] Definitely worth the £10 [23:42] bitfolk ftw [23:42] per month or year? [23:42] month [23:50] social policy in the US is odd [23:52] i wonder whether any of the apparently insane candidates are just cynically winning votes and find criticism of their proposed policies amusing [23:54] *cough* Rick Perry *cough* [23:56] anyone tried using boblight with vdpau?
