[07:52] <AlanBell> morning all
[07:52] <AlanBell> I have a Mum&Dadbuntu to build today
[07:53] <MartijnVdS> \o/
[07:53] <MartijnVdS> what kind of hardware?
[07:54] <richardperkins> Morning all
[07:54] <AlanBell> http://www.ebuyer.com/337174-zoostorm-pentium-sandybridge-no-os-desktop-pc-7873-1051 this one I think
[07:55] <richardperkins> I know its early but wanted to seek some advice before the children surface
[07:56] <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
[07:57] <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
[08:04] <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?
[08:05] <AlanBell> I am putting precise on it
[08:10] <MartijnVdS> AlanBell: aisleriot
[08:11] <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?)
[08:12] <AlanBell> dad has an iPad as well
[08:12] <AlanBell> probably put some games and stuff on it
[08:13] <AlanBell> google earth doesn't need much power, runs fine on my sons single core 1.4ghz laptop with intel graphics
[08:14] <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
[08:18] <AlanBell> looks OK to me
[08:22] <OmNomDePlume> What's the best thing to eat the morning after you've been so drunk you've puked your guts out?
[08:25] <MartijnVdS> OmNomDePlume: Bread with chocolate sprinkles + large glass of milk
[08:28] <christel_> morn
[08:28] <MartijnVdS> \o
[08:34] <ging> bacon
[08:34] <ging> and coke zero
[08:35] <MartijnVdS> Anything with lots of water, really.
[08:35] <popey> morning
[08:39] <MartijnVdS> \o popeyman
[08:52] <MooDoo> morning all
[08:53] <MartijnVdS> MooDoo: hello
[09:00] <OmNomDeBonBon> Thank you MartijnVdS, I will try that.
[09:13] <popey> how on earth do you do a slider in glade?
[09:41] <dipizzle> hello
[09:42] <dipizzle> how nice to finally be on an irc channel
[09:42] <AlanBell> hello dipizzle
[09:43] <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?
[09:45] <AlanBell> I think that is a scale widget
[09:45] <popey> ahh, it may be called "Scale"
[09:45] <popey> thanks
[09:46] <popey> the 'orientation' thing was off screen
[09:46] <AlanBell> yeah, they are vertical by default
[09:51] <AlanBell> popey: how is trublr these days?
[09:52] <popey> :D
[09:52] <popey> working on it
[09:53] <AlanBell> should I install it on this PC I am going to give to Mum & Dad?
[09:53] <popey> no
[09:59] <AlanBell> this is the first install I have done for ages without orca running!
[10:19] <cotterall> morning
[10:21] <apacheuk> morning
[10:38] <czajkowski> aloha
[10:38] <MooDoo> morning
[10:47] <brobostigon> good morning everyone.
[11:03] <AlanBell> right, that is most of the cool stuff installed, 22GB used :)
[11:20] <AlanBell> all it needs now is the "show my desktop to Alan" button
[11:28] <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
[11:29] <AlanBell> C-a C-a d
[11:30] <shauno> I thought it was just C-a a d.  Stacking will melt your brain eventually tho ;)
[11:31] <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] <czajkowski> whoo RAT tickets arrived

[13:17] <christel_> \o/ indeed :D
[14:39] <czajkowski> christel_: yay :D
[14:53]  * popey moos from the LUG
[14:54] <czajkowski> popey: be careful http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs10/i/2006/135/9/6/_quot_Death_is_coming_for_YOU_quot__by_Nikittele.jpg
[14:58] <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
[15:06] <czajkowski> weird all my downloading of .avi file get launched straight away
[15:07] <czajkowski> which is confusing if I'm doing about 3 in a god and all download at the same time
[15:33] <kvarley> In gedit can I use wildcards in the find and replace box?
[15:33] <kvarley> Doing * doesn't seem to work
[15:36] <cotterall> kvarley: not by default but I think there are plugins
[15:40] <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
[16:00] <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
[16:02] <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
[16:03] <andylockran> yeah, that;s right
[16:03] <andylockran> hmm
[16:04] <MartijnVdS> andylockran: maybe the other end has a negative response cached?
[16:04] <MartijnVdS> (DNS response)
[16:04] <MartijnVdS> is the hostname quite new?
[16:08] <shauno> wget -6 url returns a 403 forbidden.  I dare say that might want to be a 2xx for a pass
[16:09] <shauno> (oddly, it works fine in my browser.  but under the safe assumption their end is automated, they may be hitting the same behaviour)
[16:16] <swattor> afternoon all
[16:18] <DJones> Afternoon swattor

[16:24] <swattor> was thinking about emailing the list to email them
[16:24] <AlanBell> probably :)
[16:25] <AlanBell> so we have reading in a couple of weeks, then wolverhampton in April (waiting for a pub on that one I think)
[16:25] <AlanBell> there is interest in Southampton too
[16:29] <swattor> what's the best thing to do to try and move it along a bit?
[16:35] <AlanBell> pick a pub and a date :)

[17:08]  * s-fox celebrates
[17:09] <MooDoo> s-fox: it's a start, only just begun though
[17:10] <s-fox> To be honest, alba need to score a try or 2 to have a good chance of winning
[17:11] <s-fox> 3 points here and there isn't going to win the match
[17:11] <MooDoo> nopw
[17:12] <s-fox> 6-0 !!!!!!!!!!!
[17:12] <s-fox> :D
[17:12]  * s-fox thinks lucky socks are working

[18:59] <s-fox> Think 1st half was better imo
[21:05] <Easton> can you put a background image when in console
[21:07] <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
[21:08] <dwatkins> yeah, if you use them, or XFCE etc.
[21:09] <Easton> Thank you for the help I'll have to stick with black background then.

[21:11] <dwatkins> looks like the site is broken, unfortunately
[21:11] <dwatkins> still, it's possible, just not easy to find the installation files
