| AlanBell | I have a Mum&Dadbuntu to build today | 07:52 |
| MartijnVdS | \o/ | 07:53 |
| MartijnVdS | what kind of hardware? | 07:53 |
| richardperkins | Morning all | 07:54 |
| AlanBell | http://www.ebuyer.com/337174-zoostorm-pentium-sandybridge-no-os-desktop-pc-7873-1051 this one I think | 07:54 |
| richardperkins | I know its early but wanted to seek some advice before the children surface | 07:55 |
| MartijnVdS | AlanBell: Nice. I just built a new Granbuntu machine with an Asus barebone + Sempron 145 | 07:56 |
| MartijnVdS | AlanBell: http://ie.asus.com/Barebone_PC/V_Series_2530L/V6M4A3000E/ that barebone | 07:56 |
| MartijnVdS | AlanBell: + 4G RAM, + Sempron 145, + some SATA disk I had lying around, + some DVD player I had lying around | 07:57 |
| MartijnVdS | Total price: €140 | 07:57 |
| AlanBell | nice | 08:04 |
| AlanBell | the base unit is at the post office, I have to go pick it up in a bit | 08:04 |
| AlanBell | so what applications should I put on it? | 08:04 |
| AlanBell | I am putting precise on it | 08:05 |
| MartijnVdS | AlanBell: aisleriot | 08:10 |
| MartijnVdS | Yours is Sandy Bridge? That should have enough power for Google Earth. You might want skype (or stick with Google talk's video bits, or G+ hangouts?) | 08:11 |
| AlanBell | dad has an iPad as well | 08:12 |
| AlanBell | probably put some games and stuff on it | 08:12 |
| AlanBell | google earth doesn't need much power, runs fine on my sons single core 1.4ghz laptop with intel graphics | 08:13 |
| AlanBell | there is an ebook application people rave about | 08:14 |
| AlanBell | caliber or something | 08:14 |
| MartijnVdS | calibre | 08:14 |
| MartijnVdS | It works great but the UI is horrible | 08:14 |
| AlanBell | looks OK to me | 08:18 |
| OmNomDePlume | What's the best thing to eat the morning after you've been so drunk you've puked your guts out? | 08:22 |
| MartijnVdS | OmNomDePlume: Bread with chocolate sprinkles + large glass of milk | 08:25 |
| christel_ | morn | 08:28 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 08:28 |
| ging | bacon | 08:34 |
| ging | and coke zero | 08:34 |
| MartijnVdS | Anything with lots of water, really. | 08:35 |

| MooDoo | morning all | 08:52 |
| MartijnVdS | MooDoo: hello | 08:53 |
| OmNomDeBonBon | Thank you MartijnVdS, I will try that. | 09:00 |
| popey | how on earth do you do a slider in glade? | 09:13 |
| dipizzle | hello | 09:41 |
| dipizzle | how nice to finally be on an irc channel | 09:42 |
| AlanBell | hello dipizzle | 09:42 |
| popey | AlanBell: you've played with glade haven't you? | 09:43 |
| popey | know how to do a slider like the one in the appearance dialog where you make the launcher bigger/smaller? | 09:43 |
| AlanBell | I think that is a scale widget | 09:45 |
| popey | ahh, it may be called "Scale" | 09:45 |
| popey | thanks | 09:45 |
| popey | the 'orientation' thing was off screen | 09:46 |
| AlanBell | yeah, they are vertical by default | 09:46 |
| AlanBell | popey: how is trublr these days? | 09:51 |
| popey | :D | 09:52 |
| popey | working on it | 09:52 |
| AlanBell | should I install it on this PC I am going to give to Mum & Dad? | 09:53 |
| popey | no | 09:53 |
| AlanBell | this is the first install I have done for ages without orca running! | 09:59 |

| brobostigon | good morning everyone. | 10:47 |
| AlanBell | right, that is most of the cool stuff installed, 22GB used :) | 11:03 |
| AlanBell | all it needs now is the "show my desktop to Alan" button | 11:20 |
| marxjohnson | If I've got one byobu session nested inside another, how can I detach the nested one? If I hit F6 or C-a d it just detaches the outside one, and when i reconnect the nested one is still there | 11:28 |
| AlanBell | C-a C-a d | 11:29 |
| shauno | I thought it was just C-a a d. Stacking will melt your brain eventually tho ;) | 11:30 |
| marxjohnson | yay well one of those too just worked | 11:31 |
| AlanBell | shauno: you are probably right | 11:31 |
| marxjohnson | thanks! | 11:31 |
| shauno | the C-a a gets passed to the client (the inner screen in this case) as C-a | 11:31 |

| * popey moos from the LUG | 14:53 | |
| czajkowski | popey: be careful http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs10/i/2006/135/9/6/_quot_Death_is_coming_for_YOU_quot__by_Nikittele.jpg | 14:54 |
| dwatkins | czajkowski: heh, that reminds me of the Warcraft II death knight which would say this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBViA9draOs | 14:58 |
| czajkowski | dwatkins: hah | 14:58 |
| czajkowski | weird all my downloading of .avi file get launched straight away | 15:06 |
| czajkowski | which is confusing if I'm doing about 3 in a god and all download at the same time | 15:07 |
| kvarley | In gedit can I use wildcards in the find and replace box? | 15:33 |
| kvarley | Doing * doesn't seem to work | 15:33 |
| cotterall | kvarley: not by default but I think there are plugins | 15:36 |
| cotterall | kvarley: I can't find a *-style wildcard one but there's a regex one here: http://halfhourhacks.blogspot.com/2008/03/gedit-regular-expression-plugin.html | 15:40 |
| cotterall | kvarley: this one looks good too: http://code.google.com/p/advanced-find | 15:40 |
| kvarley | Thanks cotterall | 15:40 |
| andylockran | can anyone access this over ipv6? http://ipv6.zrmt.com/gw7mwofidd.txt | 16:00 |
| andylockran | doing the hurricane electric certification, but it's failing and I can't understand why :d | 16:00 |
| MartijnVdS | andylockran: is that host v6 only? | 16:02 |
| andylockran | should be | 16:02 |
| MartijnVdS | works fine here | 16:02 |
| MartijnVdS | "Test File" it says | 16:02 |
| andylockran | yeah, that;s right | 16:03 |
| andylockran | hmm | 16:03 |
| MartijnVdS | andylockran: maybe the other end has a negative response cached? | 16:04 |
| MartijnVdS | (DNS response) | 16:04 |
| MartijnVdS | is the hostname quite new? | 16:04 |
| shauno | wget -6 url returns a 403 forbidden. I dare say that might want to be a 2xx for a pass | 16:08 |
| shauno | (oddly, it works fine in my browser. but under the safe assumption their end is automated, they may be hitting the same behaviour) | 16:09 |

| Easton | can you put a background image when in console | 21:05 |
| dwatkins | Easton: not easily, but you can put a background on the terminal application | 21:07 |
| Easton | is that in side of gnome and kde | 21:07 |
| dwatkins | yeah, if you use them, or XFCE etc. | 21:08 |
| Easton | Thank you for the help I'll have to stick with black background then. | 21:09 |
