[00:31] <ubuntuuk-planet> [Ubuntu UK Podcast] S05E02  Raspberry Jam - http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/2012/03/14/s05e02-raspberry-jam/
[07:46] <imexil> Morning, am I the only one experiencing compiz to crash everytime I do right-click in 12.04 ?
[08:30] <christel> morning
[08:31] <diplo> morning
[08:47] <christel> diplo \o/
[08:47] <christel> for some reason i always read your nick as duplo and then i want to play with you :s
[08:48] <christel> oh gosh, that came out sounding a tad corny, sorry
[08:48] <diplo> \o/ Playing with me :)
[08:48] <diplo> heheh
[08:48] <christel> hehe
[08:48] <diplo> My skype is duplo :)
[08:48] <diplo> And a few other things where diplo was taken
[08:48] <christel> haha
[08:48] <christel> :D
[08:49] <diplo> Favourite choccie bars are duplos to, hmm nick change time  :)
[08:49] <diplo> Or not, seems someone else likes it :(
[08:49] <christel> aww :(
[08:50] <christel> ah but they havent identified for a year!
[08:50] <christel> so if whomever currently uses it disconnects ...
[08:50] <christel> :P
[08:50] <diplo> Well had diplo for the last 15 years, might take some remembering to get change
[08:50] <christel> hehe
[08:52] <diplo> Been rather quiet in here lately
[08:53] <christel> it is a tad quiet :(
[08:55] <AlanBell> MORNING!!
[08:55] <MartijnVdS> So.. "unsettings".. use or not?
[08:55] <diplo> Good morning AlanBell
[08:58]  * diplo is not sure what MartijnVdS is asking :)
[08:58] <christel> GOOD MORNING ALANBELL
[08:58]  * diplo glad not got a hangover this morning with all this shouting!
[08:59] <MartijnVdS> diplo: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/03/unsettings-tool-to-disable-global-menu.html
[08:59] <diplo> Hmm, I may give up typing today
[08:59] <christel> haha
[08:59] <christel> it's really cold today
[08:59] <hoover> morning all
[08:59] <diplo> Radiator on 5 @ work :)
[08:59] <hoover> nice and sunny here
[08:59] <hoover> but only 3degs
[09:00] <christel> we've thick, cold fog
[09:00] <christel> though if it lifts i guess it could still turn out to be a nice day
[09:00] <christel> :)
[09:04] <diplo> tbh MartijnVdS I've starting getting used to most of the options now
[09:04] <diplo> I like the global menu sort of, prefer win7 style though, smaller icons/size etc
[09:06] <MartijnVdS> \o/ found the bug
[09:06] <MartijnVdS> Disable global menus = forever crashing unity-panel-service
[09:06] <MartijnVdS> in a loop
[09:06] <hoover> it's already rather warm in the sun... spring is coming fast
[09:07] <diplo> Sun hoover ? What sun :)
[09:07] <MartijnVdS> ♫ But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me
[09:07] <MartijnVdS> ♫ And makes ev'ry Sunday a treat for me
[09:07] <MartijnVdS> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNA9rQcMq00 :)
[09:10] <hoover> That large, yellow ball of fire in the sky ;-)
[09:11]  * hoover declares spring has started when the first song thrush arrives
[09:11] <hoover> I've already heard a few sing this week
[09:16] <MartijnVdS> hoover: "Thrush is a yeast infection of the mucus membrane lining the mouth and tongue.", according to le google
[09:19] <MartijnVdS> hoover: I heard (and saw) a woodpecker pecking at a metal pole a few days ago :)
[09:25] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[09:25] <MartijnVdS> \o bigcalm
[09:28] <bigcalm> What's happening?
[09:29] <czajkowski> must stop doing fn f4 instead of fn 4 as thats volume and the otherone shuts machine down
[09:29] <MartijnVdS> czajkowski: :D
[09:32] <bigcalm> Whoops
[09:35] <JamesTait> Morning all! :D
[09:38] <christel> morning JamesTait :)
[09:38] <JamesTait> christel: o/
[09:43] <Myrtti> ho hum. http://www.flickr.com/photos/myrtti/6984249525
[09:45] <AlanBell> that is a lot of miliseconds
[09:46] <gord> started to realise that i can actually just suspend my desktop machine at the end of the day, not shut down. old fears of linux not working are silly
[09:47] <Myrtti> I am getting tired
[09:48] <bigcalm> I can't suspend mine. If I tell the machine to do anything like that, it reboots
[09:49] <bigcalm> If I tell it to shutdown, it reboots as well
[09:49] <bigcalm> Rebooting does as required though
[09:50] <JamesTait> Mine will suspend if I tell it to, now I've added acpi_sleep=nonvs to the boot options; but it currently won't suspend when I close the laptop lid.
[09:51] <JamesTait> Actually, the laptop indicated that it suspended even without that boot option, but when it came to resume, it did a full boot instead.
[09:56] <popey> gord: thats what I do too
[10:29] <zleap> on http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/2012/03/14/s05e02-raspberry-jam-ogg/  where is the download link ?
[10:30] <AlanBell> right click and save as
[10:30] <zleap> where
[10:30] <AlanBell> zleap: ah, right, in the broken grey fuzzy bar thing
[10:31] <zleap> ok got it
[10:31] <zleap> under subscribe
[10:31] <AlanBell> http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/download/uupc_s05e02.ogg
[10:31] <zleap> as opposed to download
[10:31] <zleap> its downloading
[10:31] <zleap> thankjs
[10:31] <AlanBell> popey: there is something broken there
[10:31] <zleap> thanks
[10:32] <zleap> i need to set up rhytmbox again for auto download
[10:32] <AlanBell> zleap: http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ boxes work find on the home page
[10:32] <AlanBell> and they now work fine on the article :)
[10:32] <zleap> thanks
[10:33] <zleap> do i add that url to rhythmbox:?
[10:34] <AlanBell> you can add http://feeds.feedburner.com/UbuntuUkPodcastOgg-high?format=xml to rhythmbox
[10:34] <zleap> thanks
[10:34] <zleap> i just need to find where rhythmbox has hidden itsselfd now
[10:35] <AlanBell> in unity3d has resizing windows just got massively hard again?
[10:35] <AlanBell> single pixel target rather than the whole shadow?
[10:35] <zleap> ok think i have it
[10:36] <popey> zleap: you're on the wrong page
[10:36] <popey> http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/2012/03/14/s05e02-raspberry-jam-ogg/ is not a link you should end up at
[10:37] <zleap> i get there from the link i get in firefox
[10:37] <popey> what link?
[10:37] <popey> how exactly did you arrive at that page?
[10:37] <zleap> firefox has podcast on a tab, click on that i get a link to the page of what ever episode is listed
[10:37] <zleap> so it lists load of em, its auto updated
[10:38] <popey> what do you mean by "podcast on a tab"?
[10:38] <popey> take me (with links) from how you woke up this morning to how you got to that page please
[10:38] <MartijnVdS> AlanBell: there are lots of regressions in Unity
[10:39] <AlanBell> if it is a button in the bookmarks toolbar can you right click it, go to properties and say what the feed location is
[10:39] <brobostigon> good morning everyone.
[10:39] <popey> zleap: I want to fix this but I dont know how people end up at that page, so dont know how to
[10:39] <zleap> in firefox I have buttons at the top on is for latest headlines, withj some sort of orange and white symbol next to it,  i have a similar one for ubuntu podcasrts
[10:39] <zleap> casts
[10:40] <zleap> don't know how i got itl, or what its called,  rss feed perhaps
[10:40] <AlanBell> it is the bookmarks toolbar
[10:40] <popey> can you modify the link?
[10:40] <popey> http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ is the best page to go to
[10:40] <zleap> feedburner
[10:41] <zleap> feedlocation is http://feeds.feedburner.com/UbuntuUkPodcastOgg-high?format=xml
[10:41] <popey> right, thats why
[10:41] <zleap> ah
[10:41] <zleap> so that is some sort of bug then
[10:41] <popey> just bookmark http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ or http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/feed/
[10:41] <popey> no
[10:41] <zleap> ok
[10:41] <popey> I just dont know how you got that url in your bookmark bar
[10:42] <zleap> well i added the feedburner
[10:42] <zleap> it was on there,  it updates each release
[10:42] <zleap> but clearly not in the way it should
[11:06] <davmor2> Morning all you funky funky people
[11:06] <bigcalm> Hiya Dave2
[11:06] <bigcalm> And hello davmor2
[11:08] <davmor2> bigcalm: Hey dude how's life?
[11:08] <bigcalm> Very busy and relaxing inbetween
[11:08] <bigcalm> Only working Monday and Thursday this week
[11:08] <bigcalm> How do?
[11:09] <christel> so unfair!
[11:09] <bigcalm> christel: I know, I wanted the whole week off
[11:09] <christel> haha
[11:09] <christel> :P
[11:10] <gord> always enjoyable when i get windows viruses sent to my @canonical.com address
[11:10] <bigcalm> Do you load them in wine?
[11:11] <gord> they never work :(
[11:11] <gord> wine isn't compatible enough with windows exploits
[11:12] <jpds> Sounds like a feature.
[11:30] <directhex> you can guarantee if there's a virus needing a windows feature, there's a legit windows app using the same feature
[11:30] <directhex> no matter how sick & wrong
[11:43] <oimon> tomboy notes not syncing with u1 from my laptop...any ideas?
[11:46] <jpds> oimon: tail -f .cache/ubuntuone/log/syncdaemon.log
[11:46] <oimon> jpds, nothing in there - is the tomboy web service something different?
[11:47] <jpds> oimon: → #ubuntuone
[11:47] <oimon> :D
[11:48] <popey> tomboy doesnt use that sync though does it?
[11:48] <popey>  .config/tomboy/tomboy.log
[11:49] <popey> also close tomboy and then open it with "tomboy --debug" and see what it says
[11:53] <oimon> thanks, i'll try
[12:10] <oimon> popey, it's a bug (in progress)
[12:10] <popey> bug number?
[12:10] <popey> oh that one
[12:10] <popey> yes, I have that
[12:11] <oimon> 848250
[12:11] <oimon> unfortunately cannot file on the server side now that notes are removed from u1 now
[12:14] <popey> I dont understand? "file on the server side"?
[12:18] <czajkowski> oimon: do you mean you cant access them via the web any more ?
[12:18] <czajkowski> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/ubuntu-one-notes-feature-written-off/
[12:18] <oimon> czajkowski, they disabled that feature afaik
[12:19] <popey> you can workaround the bug
[12:19] <popey> i have had to numerous times
[12:20] <popey> i have never done a workaround on the website, always locally
[12:23] <oimon> i get the issue that comment 12 has.
[12:23] <oimon> cannot proceed forward
[12:28] <czajkowski> oimon: have you asked in ubuntuone
[12:29]  * popey points czajkowski to the scrollback in #ubuntuone
[12:29] <popey> oimon: I'd just edit the file manually
[12:35] <czajkowski> popey: ah sorry small scroll back
[12:52] <daubers> Afternoon
[12:53]  * daubers waits for the train to take him home
[12:59] <popey> \o/ Jabber
[12:59] <MattJ> Jabber \o/
[13:01] <daubers> Jabber \o/
[13:01] <MattJ> \o/
[13:04] <diplo> Jabber \o/ ?
[13:04] <diplo> :)
[13:04] <MattJ> Jabber \o/
[13:05] <MattJ> http://matthewwild.co.uk/uploads/jabber.png
[13:05] <MattJ> 2008
[13:07] <AlanBell> one day I will work out how to use jabber
[13:07] <MattJ> As a user? or run a server?
[13:08] <AlanBell> either
[13:08] <daubers> AlanBell: Do you use google talk?
[13:08] <MattJ> With the kind of people I help out there, I'm quite sure you're capable of using it :)
[13:08] <AlanBell> I did get facebook working on it http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/11/using-facebook-xmpp-chat-on-ubuntu/
[13:09] <MattJ> Well if you can get Facebook's bizarre flavour working, nothing else could be harder really
[13:09] <AlanBell> I use google plus, which I think includes google talk
[13:09] <MattJ> Yes
[13:09] <MattJ> You can just put your Gmail address and password into any XMPP client
[13:10] <AlanBell> ok, then what?
[13:10] <MattJ> Then? It's an IM client - you see who is online, and send and receive messages :)
[13:11] <AlanBell> yeah, but where is the cross-server stuff?
[13:11] <AlanBell> and rooms and things?
[13:11] <MattJ> You can add people with their gmail address, or any XMPP service (except Facebook who like to remain closed off)
[13:12] <AlanBell> so how do I add people from a server that isn't google?
[13:12] <MattJ> Same as you add someone who is on Google, with their address
[13:12] <MattJ> Mine is me@matthewwild.co.uk
[13:14] <MattJ> You don't really have to care where it's hosted
[13:14] <MattJ> It's like asking how to email someone who isn't on Gmail
[13:14] <MattJ> Which just serves to highlight the absurdity of closed IM networks (which are thankfully becoming fewer)
[13:15] <AlanBell> doesn't appear to have worked
[13:16] <MattJ> What did you do?
[13:16] <AlanBell> add contact
[13:16] <AlanBell> put me@matthewwild.co.uk in the identifier and mattj in the alias
[13:17] <AlanBell> I see no contact in the list
[13:17] <MattJ> You're logged into a gmail.com account? what client are you using?
[13:17] <AlanBell> empathy
[13:18] <AlanBell> the identifiers for other people are big long strings @public.talk.google.com
[13:18] <MartijnVdS> those are mostly G+ people I think?
[13:19] <AlanBell> probably
[13:19] <MartijnVdS> Since G+ my GTalk list has increased a lot
[13:20] <MattJ> Yeah, Google added a hack to get people using G+ onto XMPP without using their real address
[13:20] <AlanBell> I don't think I have ever added anyone, they just turned up through g+ or gmail that I used for a few weeks
[13:20] <diplo> yeah google turned it on a few months ago
[13:20] <diplo> Wasn't on at default
[13:22] <AlanBell> http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/empathy.png does it look like that when you hover over someone normally?
[13:23] <MattJ> Looks normal
[13:23] <AlanBell> white on light grey with a big fat border isn't very pretty
[13:23] <MattJ> Oh, the styling
[13:24] <MattJ> I can't speak for Empathy as a client, as much as I love the developers :)
[13:24] <MattJ> I haven't used it for a long time
[13:24] <directhex> nah, the empathy developers are clearly evil people
[13:25] <diplo> AlanBell, I'd say that empathy isn't using your theme correctly
[13:25] <diplo> Mine is all dark
[13:25] <AlanBell> I will set it up on another computer
[13:26] <popey> http://ubuntuone.com/2Bb6OJOS53QpA7FKOnhtYW
[13:26] <popey> thats what it looks like here
[13:26] <AlanBell> um, hover over your empathy client
[13:26] <popey> you're on 2d?
[13:26] <popey> i was
[13:27] <AlanBell> oh, sorry
[13:27] <diplo> Mine looks the same as popey's
[13:27] <AlanBell> I had my empathy on top of your screenshot :)
[13:27] <popey> I'm on unity, you on unity 2d?
[13:27] <AlanBell> unity 3d
[13:27] <popey> haha
[13:30] <AlanBell> ok, works fine on another computer
[13:30] <AlanBell> still can't add contacts
[13:32] <diplo> See I have you and TheOpenSourcerer in G+
[13:32] <diplo> and popey
[13:32] <diplo> But.. I only see popey and TheOpenSourcerer on chat
[13:33] <diplo> I thought it added everyone ?
[13:35] <popey> AlanBell: http://ubuntuone.com/4mwlF1D66T4ahfoIQt1bU6
[13:36] <MartijnVdS> I have the same content in GMail, G+, and GTalk on my phone and tablet
[13:36] <MartijnVdS> Works great.. except sometimes my phone beeps when I'm talking to someone on the PC
[13:40] <diplo> yeah i had that last night :)
[13:43] <AlanBell> I miss being able to resize windows :(
[13:44] <MattJ> Heh, I've not been able to resize windows since long before unity - I use a tiling window manager
[13:44] <christel> pfft i cant find anyone called diplo on g+!
[13:45] <christel> (well, i can -- but unlikely candidates)
[13:47] <AlanBell> http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/empathy1.png http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/empathy2.png on two different machines popey
[13:49] <diplo> andy partington christel :)
[13:50]  * christel stalks
[13:51] <diplo> heh
[13:51] <popey> AlanBell: different versions?
[13:51] <diplo> And I see why I dont see you now AlanBell, you have to be in each others circles for it to be listed.. quite understandable now i think about it :)
[13:52] <AlanBell> popey: no, both 12.04, the cleaner install didn't pick up the ubuntu theme or something, so didn't have the bubbly text
[13:58] <christel> AlanBell: i think we need to pub, very soon
[13:58] <christel> this sun lark is making me dream of pub gardens
[13:58] <diplo> Sun?!!?
[13:58] <diplo> We still have fog
[13:58] <diplo> Albeit a trip to the pub sounds fun / enjoyable
[13:58] <diplo> May not come back to work though :)
[14:01] <christel> aw! the fog lifted and made way for the sun here! :D
[14:01] <diplo> Send some up this way
[14:04] <christel> you can come here and share it!
[14:05] <bigcalm> That makes no sense if you miss-read that as frog
[14:05] <christel> ribbit./
[14:07] <diplo> If you live near the Alans it's a bit of a trip :)
[14:11] <christel> hehe
[14:12] <christel> i do! when we go out i go by the name Alan Fake
[14:12] <christel> to fit in with the Alan fourlettersurname thing
[14:15] <jpds> christel: The four Alans with four letter surnames.
[14:17] <diplo> heh
[14:20] <popey> four letters and one syllable
[14:20] <gord> the bringers of Armageddon
[14:20] <gord> Alangeddon*
[14:22] <jpds> popey: One syllable for all letters ?
[14:26] <bigcalm> Pope, Bell, Lord
[14:28] <AlanBell> pub lunch sounds like a good plan
[14:33] <popey> \o/ pub
[14:33] <popey> when?
[14:40]  * diplo asks the four letter surname people to find another channel to talk about pubs :(
[14:41] <MartijnVdS> diplo: you mean the Alans? :)
[14:42] <diplo> oh yes christel was in with a Alan the fake aswell so both :)
[14:43] <christel> AlanBell: have you eaten? or are you up for PUB LUNCH NOW? :) (we should also do our pub crawl so popey can come play!)
[14:44] <bigcalm> Write off the rest of the day ;)
[14:44] <popey> hah, i can't
[14:44] <davmor2> bigcalm: don't you do that most mornings? ;)
[14:44] <popey> work then I'm off to Aldershot to see a comedy thing
[14:44] <christel> comedy.. in aldershot?!
[14:44] <davmor2> popey: is a thing like a show?
[14:45] <christel> i thought the place was dead
[14:45] <bigcalm> davmor2: oh meow!
[14:45] <christel> popey: ok! we shall have to pick another pubcrawl day!
[14:45] <christel> bigcalm: i'd be delighted to write off the rest of the day, i am working on a dreadful project
[14:46] <davmor2> bigcalm: I meant that you were so good at your job you'd completed your days work in the morning :P  Honest Gov'nor
[14:46] <bigcalm> Haha
[14:48] <popey> http://www3.hants.gov.uk/westendcentre
[14:48] <popey> going there, to see him
[14:52] <christel> ooh
[14:52] <AlanBell> christel: I have eaten today
[14:52] <AlanBell> christel: tomorrow might be a possibility
[14:53] <christel> i am all for that!
[14:53] <gord> does anyone know what the point of marking mail as junk in thunderbird is?
[14:53] <gord> i mean it adds a little icon, but that seems to be it
[14:55] <dwatkins> I suspect it trains it.
[14:55] <davmor2> gord: have a look at the rules for it,  I don't think it is setup to auto move it to bin/spam
[14:55] <gord> trains it to do what? add more icons to more mails?
[14:55] <dwatkins> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls#Training_the_Junk_Mail_Controls this I guess
[14:56] <dwatkins> I don't know how it helps, but I imagine it makes it more likely to treat similar messages as spam.
[14:57] <dwatkins> unfortunately the one link on that page I wanted to bollow is broken.
[15:04] <popey> chaps
[15:04] <daubers> o/
[15:04] <popey> cheap 1080p monitor suggestions?
[15:04] <daubers> popey: TV :)
[15:05] <popey> you just reminded me I have an old TV!
[15:05] <daubers> \o/
[15:05] <MartijnVdS> Old enough to have HDMI? :)
[15:06] <popey> yup
[15:07] <popey> huzzah
[15:07] <gord> anything that is 1080p is likely to just be a repackaged monitor anyway ;)
[15:07] <popey> "thanks"
[15:07] <popey> its a goodmans tv
[15:07] <popey> really crap
[15:07] <gord> uh repackaged tv even
[15:07] <popey> it'll do
[15:07] <gord> i'm not good words today
[15:08] <gord> keep trying to skip the track on this internet radio station, not working
[15:08] <bigcalm> Watch out for that "over-scan" :)
[15:08]  * daubers waits for OSX to reinstall over the intertubes
[15:08] <MartijnVdS> EVIL EVIL TV manufacturers
[15:09] <MartijnVdS> perpetuating "overscan" in a digital age
[15:09] <popey> ENOMOUSE
[15:10] <gord> to watch the sweedish eurovision finals with some friends on the weekend i had to use my tv as a second monitor for my laptop, everything just worked :) was a quite nice experience
[15:11] <gord> apart from flash, had to use firebug to delete all the elements of the streaming website apart from the flash player, then resize the flash player to make it close to fullscreen =\
[15:12] <popey> hmm, 1440x900
[15:12] <popey> that'll do
[15:20] <bigcalm> The scooter that just buzzed past really fitted in with the dub-step I'm listening to
[15:20] <bigcalm> Needs moar scooter
[15:20] <popey> put a donk on it
[15:29] <oimon> seen the "anonymous OS" story? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17381214
[15:31] <oimon> just noticed the ubuntu twitter feed thing in the 12.04 installer.
[15:36] <Myrtti> tralalalala
[15:37] <MartijnVdS> oimon: AnonymOS
[15:38] <MartijnVdS> http://i.imgur.com/yc8Kx.jpg
[15:39] <davmor2> MartijnVdS: No, I'm not your Daddy either :P
[15:40] <oimon> anyone experience an issue when installing 12.04 and it appears to no be doing anything?
[15:40] <oimon> been installing for half hr
[15:41] <oimon> no activity since something ending in cron.hourly (can't rsize the window)
[15:41] <oimon> tempted to press skip
[15:43] <MartijnVdS> Time to filet some bugs!
[15:44] <oimon> so many ubuntu bugs experienced today i dunno where to start
[15:45] <MartijnVdS> on launchpad :P
[15:45] <oimon> not sure if slow USB stick or something else
[15:55] <Adriannom> lo.  which firewall do most ubuntu users use in xp? ;)
[15:57] <dwatkins> Adriannom: If I'm running Ubuntu, I'm not running XP.
[15:58] <oimon> :-\
[15:58] <dwatkins> I tend to use the XP firewall (XP sp 2 onwards) though
[16:16] <Adriannom> thanks dwatkins, was looking
[16:16] <Adriannom> oops.  was looking for something a bit more secure
[16:17] <Adriannom> i got erroneous answers from asking in windows channels, so please forgive the offtopic :|
[16:17] <oimon> apparently the huge length of time during the install of the beta realtes to removal of language packs :S
[16:18] <dwatkins> Adriannom: I don't know of there being any particular security holes in the Windows built-in firewall.
[16:18] <dwatkins> Asking questions in the windows channels is like walking down the street shouting them, in my experience ;)
[16:18] <Adriannom> dwatkins, it doesn't protect from outbound connections
[16:18] <Adriannom> lol
[16:18] <dwatkins> Adriannom: I don't believe that's true
[16:19] <Adriannom> dwatkins, it didn't stop a single outbound connection for me, sp3
[16:19] <oimon> i thought it was inbound only too
[16:19] <Adriannom> also, offending software is not listed in the firewall
[16:19] <dwatkins> perhaps you have to turn that on, I don't know, Adriannom
[16:19] <oimon> or did they add that functionality in another sp?
[16:19] <Adriannom> i already looked
[16:19] <Adriannom> it's not there
[16:19] <dwatkins> http://rogerkar.blogspot.com/2009/05/outbound-connections-windows-firewall.html
[16:20] <Adriannom> anyway, xp also lets any software add itself to the firewall, heh.  unless you are not running as admin, which is hard with xp
[16:20] <Adriannom> looking
[16:20] <dwatkins> oh you're using XP, Adriannom
[16:21] <Adriannom> yup
[16:21] <dwatkins> what do you want to block/control?
[16:21] <oimon> anyone know if canonical will split the software centre up into magazines/apps/etc? fed up getting matches on ubuntu user magazine for software searches
[16:21] <Adriannom> found comodo anyway, supposed to be good
[16:22] <Adriannom> dwatkins, anything i want to run in xp i generally don't trust
[16:22] <AlanBell> oimon: ask davmor2
[16:22] <dwatkins> Adriannom: there's zonealarm, but I don't know if it's still developed
[16:23] <Adriannom> dwatkins, if comodo fails i'll try zonealarm
[16:23] <Adriannom> thanks :)
[16:23] <davmor2> oimon: already is in 12.04 but it will still show up under a general search
[16:23] <dwatkins> if I run something in XP, I kinda feel I have to trust it.
[16:23] <popey> bah
[16:23] <Adriannom> if only we didn't need it at all
[16:24]  * bigcalm tickles popey
[16:24] <oimon> davmor2, i'm on 12.04 here, can i tune the general search results at all?
[16:24] <davmor2> popey: that is the worst impression of scrooge I've ever seen it's bah, Humbug!
[16:25] <davmor2> oimon: nope
[16:25] <davmor2> oimon: if you go into a section it will only search that section that's about as refined as it gets
[16:26] <davmor2> oimon: the other way is to use the applications lens to find apps maybe
[16:27] <oimon> hmm :-\
[16:27] <oimon> i could disable "for purchase" i suppose
[16:27] <diplo> Zonealarm NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[16:28] <popey> oimon: you'd still see full circle magazine
[16:28] <oimon> :(
[16:28] <popey> one moment
[16:28] <oimon> they seem to have huge amount of meta dta for matching
[16:30] <Adriannom> diplo, point taken
[16:30] <diplo> I was hoping so :)
[16:31] <diplo> You got stuff you're worried about outbound ?
[16:31] <diplo> Could monitor it with wireshark or something for a while
[16:31] <diplo> I've never really been that worried about out bound
[16:31] <Adriannom> i think comodo is working
[16:31] <diplo> From memory comodo was quite good in the past
[16:32] <Adriannom> maybe i am being overly paranoid
[16:32] <Adriannom> either way, it's done now so i don't have to worry :P
[16:32] <oimon> i always worry with windows
[16:34] <diplo> I don't
[16:34] <diplo> But then again I don't install much
[16:40] <popey> what are we worrying about?
[16:42] <bigcalm> Windows, I think
[16:42] <oimon> i generally worry about typing any of my passwords into a windows machine
[16:43] <oimon> especially after seeing what the latest password stealing trojans do with banking websites
[16:50] <davmor2> czajkowski: prod!
[16:50] <czajkowski> davmor2: ello ello
[16:51] <davmor2> czajkowski: how's life?
[17:15] <DJones> bigcalm: If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for your Xoom? Just noticed them on sale for £279
[17:15] <popey> bug 956208
[17:16] <bigcalm> DJones: 249 from the carphone warehouse
[17:16] <DJones> Thanks
[17:16] <bigcalm> 279 is also a good price
[17:16] <bigcalm> DJones: where have you seen them for 279?
[17:17] <DJones> would you believe currys
[17:17] <bigcalm> Ta
[17:17] <DJones> http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/motorola-xoom-tablet-pc-32gb-09752543-pdt.html?intcmp=currys_seg_s1_tablets_motorla-xoom_652928_04_2012444
[17:17] <DJones> Same price as the samsung tablet
[17:18] <DJones> Galaxy 8.9HD 16Gb is priced the same
[17:19] <bigcalm> I <3 my Xoom
[17:19] <DJones> How well does it work with Ubuntu (connectivity etc), something I read about the xoom 2 said they wouldn't connect to anything except Windows
[17:20] <bigcalm> I haven't bothered to connect my tablet to anything
[17:20] <bigcalm> Haven't felt the need
[17:22] <bigcalm> Just pinged that URL over to my Dad. He appears to be asleep again though

[21:12] <Guest5630> Hello all - Quick question, I seem to have lost all sound on my toshiba satelite laptop which is running ubuntu 11.10.  Ive checked that nothing is muted and all the volume levels are high and there are no headphones or anything like that plugged in.  Can anyone help?
[21:16] <dwatkins> Guest5630: does it do this from a clean start?
[21:16] <Guest5630> dwatkins - I noticed it last night and ive booted from cold today and yes, its the same
[21:17] <Guest5630> I dont usually have volume on so ive not noticed it before
[21:17] <dwatkins> Guest5630: did it work before okay? What's changed since then?
[21:18] <Guest5630> It worked last time I used sound - used it a few weeks ago to watch a dvd in VLC, though wanted to watch youtube last night and there was no sound at all - volume levels were all up, nothing muted etc, so put it down to a random odd glitch though same again tonight from cold.  Nothing in youtube, VLC or anything else I can think of which would use sound
[21:19] <dwatkins> You might have to see what's grabbing the device from start, this could help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/25622/my-sound-stopped-working-today-how-can-i-fix-it
[21:20] <Guest5630> Ok thanks - I will have a look!
[21:20] <dwatkins> welcome
[22:18] <zleap> hello
[22:45] <popey> AlanBell: what day are you going to Alcatraz?
[22:55] <zleap> i wanna go to redmond, WA and take a photo of tux out side the microsoft HQ :D
[22:57] <bigcalm> It's been done: http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/linux-world-domination.jpg
[22:57] <bigcalm> Of sorts
[22:57] <zleap> ok why can't ubuntu find my printer, when i know its connected
[22:57] <zleap> lol
[22:58] <zleap> it has a printer driver installed and now says printer may not be connected,
[22:58] <zleap> to confuse matters more, it also says no ink, which is odd if it says printer isn't connected how can it also say printer has no ink left
[23:17] <andylockran> howdy all
[23:42] <AlanBell> popey: sunday morning
