christelMooDoo: haha09:08
christelMooDoo: i felt slightly mean taking him to rugby tots, they do 2-3.5 years, the other kids were like 3-3.5, he started the day before his second birthday09:09
christelso he was TINY compared to the rest of them09:09
christelhe was a tad unsure to start with but then he got really into it09:09
MooDoochristel: well he's only 3 lol09:10
MooDool09:10
christelhis paternal grandfather used to play for pontyprydd(sp?) and rugby is huge on that side of the family09:11
christelso i had no choice but to start him early as they've decided he's going to become an international (grandad has it all sussed out, he says that if he's really good he can play for wales, if he's not quite as good he can play for england and if he's really rubbish he can play for norway)09:12

czajkowskiTheOpenSourcerer: see now why can't you be as gracious when ireland win :)09:20
christelyeah, thank god -- we had the in-laws here and i feared they'd get divorced (i always do when england - wales play)09:20

brobostigongood morning everyone,10:00
hooverhi all10:03
brobostigonhi hoover10:04
JamesTaitGood morning all! :D10:07
MooDoomorning10:09
brobostigonwhere are $term entries stored?10:10
brobostigonie, the entries i get, when i run set in terminal.10:11
dwatkinsstored whilst the terminal is running, or read from when it starts, brobostigon?10:11
brobostigondwatkins: good question, i am getting an error with byobu, that asks me to edit $term, when i try and start it from connectbot.10:12
popeythat will be set by your terminal10:13
popeyconnectbot in this case10:13
dwatkinsI thought it was in /etc/termcap or something like that, but I may be misunderstanding10:13
dwatkinsIs it not an uppercase $TERM?10:13
dwatkinsI had to set this up manually for my serial-connected WYSE 35 terminal a few years back, I just used 'termcap' iirc10:13
brobostigonpopey: ok, so it will be a setting in connectbot somewhere10:13
brobostigon??10:14
dwatkinsPerhaps 'terminfo' instead, but you shouldn't have to do that. What's the error, brobostigon?10:14
dwatkinsI tend to cheat and set TERM=linux screen -dr10:15
dwatkins(because I connect to screen from inside screen and it doesn't understand the TERM setting it provides to itself, ironically)10:15
brobostigonERROR: Sessions should be nested with care. Remove 'screen' from $TERM to force.10:16
brobostigonthat is the error.10:16
HoaxKey\join #latex10:16
dwatkinssounds similar to what I get.10:16
HoaxKeywhoops10:16
popeysurely you're already in screen, trying to start screen10:17
popeythat seems not what you want10:17
dwatkinspopey: I run screen on my Mac, ssh to my ubuntu machine, and reconnect there.10:18
dwatkinsI also ssh to a BSD box and reconnect to a screen session there.10:18
czajkowskiis AlanBell alive? or have the chickens come home to roost10:19
dwatkinshmmm, it doesn't seem to need my "TERM=linux" today, I wonder what changed.10:19
popeydwatkins: i mean, brobostigon is inside screen and he's trying to re-attach to screen10:19
popeywhich seems to not be what he wants10:19
brobostigonbyobu with screen, yes.10:20
dwatkinsah yes, that does seem a little recursive ;)10:20
dwatkinsI've had nested screen sessions on the same machine before, though.10:21
czajkowskibah poxy credit checks am gonna keep failing them for 2 more years so cant buy a phone on contract10:24

bigcalm[xoom]Mmmmm, that was a good pot noodle10:36

matttczajkowski: when we moved to UK, my gf was able to get a contract w/ vodafone immediately, i wasn't10:40
matttneither of us had lved in UK before :-/10:40
bigcalm[xoom]I add soya and tabasco sauce10:40
brobostigonok, weird, byobu -r -d, worked in connectbot.10:40
diplobigcalm[xoom], and that makes it better... it's still a pot noodle :D10:41
gordbigcalm[xoom], buy a wok, boil up some noodles or rice, throw some veggies and meat in the wok, cook it up with some nice sauce, throw the noodles in, instant tasty food, takes about as long as a pot noodle too :P10:42
daubers\o/ confused the estate agents10:42

popeyor slow it down dramatically11:34
popeyso it always says "12.04" for like an hour11:34

popeyso i can record video and know it will always say that11:34
daubersyou could just put "date" into a while loop?11:35
daubersMight break stuff that relies on the clock11:35
davmor2popey: what happens to the clock if you open up clock setting and unlock it does it carry on as normal or does it stop where it is like a watch does?11:36
popeyit carries on11:36

daubersHmm... might have broken my mqtt connections by faffing with the clock...11:42
popeyhaha11:42
daubersAlso apparently it breaks ping :)11:42
davmor2gord: you mean you have no backups, and has it actually wiped them from you system or just lost them online if it is the latter I'm pretty sure you can set it up to resync11:43
gorddavmor2, i had an old .vim directory inside ~/Ubuntu One/ - copied my new vim directory into it, it decided to sync over the old vim directory that contained almost nothing11:44
davmor2gord: yes that's what it does you need to rename the file if you want more than one11:45
gorddavmor2, no, it should of synced the new directory into the cloud and replicated on my other machines11:45
daubersAnybody know what the clock widget is actually called?11:46
gordi didn't want more than one, i wanted it to replace the old with the new11:46
gorddaubers, indicator-datetime - its not a widget11:46
dwatkinsheh, Ubuntu just told me I have a good password ;)11:48

gingi tried evi on my s213:14
gingi asked it what oil i needed to top up a 2005 mini cooper S, it gave me an answer about losing weight13:15
brobostigonlol13:16
gingnow they are threatening to remove evi from the apple app store because it's too similar to siri, which i guess means siri is also terrible13:16
gordonjcpging: to be fair if you lost weight the engine wouldn't have to work so hard and you'd get longer oil change intervals13:17
gordonjcpdepending on how much you weigh to begin with13:17
gingthe answer was something about being worried you are losing too much weight13:21

AlanBellI am not surprised at them dropping the free Ubuntu/Fedora updates22:04
Azelphurhense the desire for alternatives22:05
AlanBellhttp://www.ksplice.com/uptrack/download-ubuntu don't you just download the .deb and run it?22:06
Azelphurno, that's desktop only, if you want server kernels you have to subscribe, which is now blocked22:06
Azelphuronly way to get ksplice is to install a desktop environment and switch to desktop kernel on a server :/22:07
AlanBelloh right, well do that then :)22:07
Azelphurthat's not really an option on a server :/22:07
AlanBelldesktop kernel is *fine* for most server workloads22:07
AzelphurI don't want a full desktop environment and X on my server22:08
AlanBellyou don't need it, just install the kernel, it shouldn't bring in any X stuff22:08
Azelphurno, you have to run the desktop updater which requires X22:08
Azelphuryou have to pay for the command line updater22:09
AlanBellssh -X22:09
Azelphuronly, you can't pay because they shut it down22:09
AzelphurI'm pretty sure that installing the desktop updater will pull in all the reqs too22:09
AlanBellprobably some of them, but they won't be running22:10
Azelphur*shrug* might work, a lot of effort for a project that is rapidly dieing though, still interested in alternatives22:10
directhexaquarius, "touch /etc/call-ui/callUIVideoButton" and reboot adds video call support22:10
AlanBellAzelphur: fair enough22:11
AlanBellI thought that after a few years of ksplice coming out that someone would put rebootless updates into the upstream kernel22:12
Azelphuryea, it's a bit silly after all this time that the server distros don't have rebootless updating built in22:13

aquariusdirecthex, interesting. Not sure what I'd use video calling for, though; who can it call?22:50
brobostigongood night everyone, sleep well.22:51
directhexaquarius, not other n9's, since it doesn't advertise video call capability :p22:56
aquariusdirecthex, the only person I know with an n9... doesn't have one any more ;)22:56
DaveMorrisI use a squeezebox slave on my machine, which I've created a small upstart script for. I wish to run it as a user ('squeezebox') but it won't play audio since it isn't the current user logged in.  Any ideas on where to look to change it?22:57
DaveMorrislooks like I can't (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/TheAudioGroup) and need to run it as my user23:05
