[07:55] mcbaine2: i getcha [08:24] morning all [08:26] Hm. Missed Dirk Gently yesterday [08:31] bigcalm: When you're around, do you mind a few questions about your xoom [08:31] DJones: I have a xoom, what do you want to know [08:32] MartijnVdS: Thanks, I was wondering how well they work, does it connect to ubuntu, have you had an update to Android 4.0 [08:33] Does it work with streaming tv (ipleayer etc) [08:34] From what I can see, it should connect to ubuntu, seems like tehre were problems with 10.04, possibly fixed in later versions [08:35] ICS seems to be planned for march [08:37] Debating whether to get work to buy me oneAnd there's a website that I think uses java or flash (can't remember which) I could do with somebody testing to see if it works [08:39] And, last question, does it have teh full android market [08:40] DJones: I have ICS, and the full android market [08:40] DJones: I've re-flashed it with the US firmware (to get ICS early) [08:40] Thats a good start [08:41] Connecting to Ubuntu works in 12.04, but Banshee hangs sometimes [08:41] I probably wouldn't be botehr about banshee, more just transferring mp3s via nautilus [08:42] And video [08:42] that would work, but opening the folder for the first time is teh slow [08:43] Do you have yours to hand to check a website for me [08:44] Morning all [08:45] morning pretties [08:45] christel: \o/ [08:45] * DJones preens in the mirror [08:45] we need to sort out a pub lunch [08:45] yes! we do [08:45] TheOpenSourcerer: popey: anyone else are you in the Farnham area on Friday for a lunch? [08:46] AlanBell: This Friday could work. I'm on a session with some Dad's from the school in the evening so could just make a day of it :-) [08:47] AlanBell: Perhaps we could try and do some potential office views in the morning? [08:47] that sounds good [09:04] aloha [09:05] Good morning lovelies :) [09:09] DJones: 1) ICS isn't available to UK users yet, though I'm holding out for an OTA update rather than using an US ROM, 2) iPlayer works wonderfully :), 3) I don't bother to connect to a machine yet, 4) I've seen no firm dates for a UK ICS update :(, 5) Flash works 100% from my usage so far, 6) This is a big name brand tablet - full market as standard [09:10] DJones: what web site did you want testing? [09:10] bigcalm: Thanks, sounds promising, from what I'd read, ICS sounds like its due this month [09:11] davmor2 had me believing that it would be out early Feb [09:11] bigcalm: www.hifx.co.uk Then click on Marketwatch, then currency charts [09:11] I won't listen to speculation until I see it [09:12] Ok, one mo. Seems I turned it off last night [09:14] This is what I picked up on for ICS (March to May) it suggests http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/44455/motorola-ice-cream-sandwich-updates [09:18] The website should show a moving currency/exchange rate graph if it works [09:19] Interesting review of Samsung ICS on the Galaxy SII vs CM9 http://www.osnews.com/story/25694/CyanogenMod_9_alpha_puts_Samsung_to_shame [09:21] DJones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_iDpcFU8qU [09:24] bigcalm: That just seemed to have some gray blocks for adding currencies, if you can see the "Currency charts" near the top middle of the screen, could you just try that for me, no need to video, all I'm hoping is that it shows a graph [09:25] Ah, I see that link now :) [09:25] Just realised, I can check it on my phone as well, that doesn't seem to be working [09:26] Blank area sorry [09:26] Just get a white space where it should be [09:26] Thanks for checking anyway# [09:26] TheOpenSourcerer: interesting, I have been checking for the official ICS upgrade, nothing available yet [09:29] bigcalm: Thats disappointing, that was my main argument for getting work to buy me one (not enough screen space on my desktop to have those on screen all the time), but luckily, there does seem to be a 3rd party app for that [09:32] Good morning all! :D [09:44] Is it bad when you're getting work to but a tablet for you and you make sure that all the things for personal use work first before checking that the thing you want it for for work will actually work [09:46] lol [09:51] went to soft play yesterday with my kid. achievement unlocked! [09:52] so much fun :D [09:52] oimon: Did the kid enjoy it though?

Whenever I see that it makes me think of 'There is no Dena, only Xool' [10:24] guess i need a usb stick then [10:24] hmmm [10:30] popey seems to have a knack for breaking quite new hardware [10:39] 5 computers on my desk, most work okay ☺ [10:41] popey: only reason being that you can just use one at a time? ;-) [10:41] ☺ [10:42] right.

Bing has passed 5 (which is quite high for Bing) [15:51] What was broken on it? Guy at work broke his just out of warranty, apple wouldn't replace it for free, just gave him a big(ish) discount and wanted the old one back (cracked screen), he had to pay extra to retain it [15:51] is it true that an ipad 3 takes all night to charge?

[16:08] win 55 [16:08] czajkowski: BA saturday morning [16:08] Laney: never [16:08] * bigcalm is not going [16:08] * TheOpenSourcerer needs to know when 50% of the workforce are away on a jolly ;-) [16:09] :) [16:09] Yeah, 2 men companies (like the one I work for) can be a bugger when you want to take time off [16:10] 11:30 hrs [16:10] BA285 [16:10] Saturday 5th [16:10] Hopefully AlanBell will only represent 33% in the near future, then even less & less etc... [16:10] 10:35BST land at 13:25 PDT [16:10] the goal being to make AlanBell irrelevant? [16:11] sounds like a good plan [16:11] Get others to do the work. we get to go on more jollies. [16:11] :-D [16:11] i should probably shave before then [16:11] \o/ jollies [16:11] * Laney shaggy [16:12] czajkowski: I land at 14:20 hrs [16:12] czajkowski: are you going to Oakland directly? [16:13] 3 hours? That's a short flight. [16:14] and a 7 hour time difference :) [16:14] I bet the flight back takes aaaages though [16:14] Wifey asked if I was keeping the face fuzz too [16:14] AlanBell: eh ? [16:15] czajkowski: are you staying at the Mariott on the saturday [16:16] yup [16:16] AlanBell: you get to go to UDS :'( [16:17] ok, I am staying in a hotel on the SF side of the bay, then going to Alcatraz in the morning [16:17] AlanBell: ah cool, am using it as a day of rest and doing diddly squat [16:18] My memories of SF: "this is really quite cold". (This was when I was...9.) [16:25] I might go check out the Golden Gate [16:25] there looks to be a huge national park on the other side of it [16:27] aw, SF is lovely... but I only made it to the Golden Gate bridge, not beyond [16:28] hmm I could hire a bike [16:28] how long you there for? [16:28] week but only free on the sunday really [16:31] then national park sounds good - but do Alcatraz if you've the time and money, with the audio tour too [16:32] my experience is several years old, so I'm presuming it's as good - but the place has a definite eerieness about it [16:52] alcatraz is great, if you can make an evening tour it's better [16:53] heh. middle of the day was bad enough [16:56] tugrik: they do extra "horror" stories and presentations at night :) [16:57] yeah, but I will be wide awake for the early tour [16:58] leaving at 9am local, which is 16:00 UTC [16:59] I did the Alcatraz tour + audio. Was rather moving... [17:00] The noise of the cell bars closing etc. [17:00] Sanoma County - North side of the bridge has some great wineries :-) [17:03] kind of annoying when i'm trying to find info on an issue and the one thread of hope is some forum post that ends with a moderator saying its in the wrong section [17:13] gord: was there any point into which section it was to go ? [17:14] czajkowski, yeah, but without a link to the new topic it might as well be lost forever [17:14] gord: :( [17:14] perhaps s-fox could help [17:14] czajkowski, wasn't on ubuntu forums or anything ;) [17:14] ah [17:14] nm so [17:15] hmm need to esta wavier [17:15] last one is out of date [17:15] Nothing to do with us, sorry gord [17:17] you have a problem with a forum thread gord?

[17:51] yeah, i've still got the patch for pornview on my machine ;) [17:52] trying to keep p0rn separate from work though. don't want to end up doing this: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-dev/browse_thread/thread/d30ae1c692ff53c3?pli=1 [17:52] indeed [17:52] popey: I'd wait to be honest there is a huge rollout going to happen shortly that has a load of changes but after that feel free to hit it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/application-web-catalog [17:54] I'll file a bug otherwise I'll forget [17:55] what the hell.. there wer 4 reviews just now, now there's 3 [17:57] popey: people are constantly monitoring the reviews to be sure that they are valid and abide by the COC-ish rules [17:57] popey: that or it is playing with your head :D === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [18:04] ali1234: on this maplin multi voltage thing, I just set voltage to the same as the output on the logitech plug (5v) and positive to the pin right? [18:04] don't need to find a switch for amps or something [18:05] Azelphur: the current isn't important, as long as the power supply has a higher rating than the thing you want to power [18:05] yea this new one does like 2500mA or something old one does 500 [18:06] just get the voltage right and the current will sort itself out [18:06] cool :) [18:06] seems to work, hopefully this will stop my keyboard continually boot looping [18:06] keyboard/ [18:06] ? [18:07] yea I have a fancy gaming keyboard with an LCD display on it [18:07] but Logitech cheaped out on the PSU, so it keeps boot looping [18:07] heh [18:12] well, there goes that plan, this supply causes it to boot loop too :( [18:12] only much quicker [18:13] which is annoying because the old supply is 2.4 and this is 2.5 [18:13] :< [18:14] should be close enough [18:14] the goal was for it to be a tad more, the stock power supply doesn't give it enough power, it's a known issue [18:14] silly G19 :( === seeker_ is now known as seeker [18:27] wow, ##linux is stupid, they disallow any talk of torrents, at all [18:29] WildPikachu: If I had someone discussing torrents in general, I would pm them, then +q if they continued || mosno: WildPikachu, even if you had no reason to suspect that there was unlawful use? || WildPikachu: yes, I would make them very aware that while they are not being accused of doing anything unlawful the discussion around torrents is highly discouraged [18:29] or in my case, I got instantly kicked for even mentioning it [18:30] last thing I'd expect from a linux channel, absolutely ridiculous [18:32] I wish there was some way we could take the channel off of that guy, he really shouldn't have control over ##linux with an attitude like that [18:32] Goodbye. [18:33] im trying to follow this guide with no luck http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8699742&postcount=537 [18:33] ?elaborate | lazarus_ [18:33] doooh, wrong trigger :P [18:33] !elaborate | lazarus_ [18:33] lazarus_: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [18:34] Azelphur: im trying to root my cell under linux following that guide [18:34] well yea...I gathered that much [18:34] as I said, Please give more detailed information, errors, steps [18:35] there is a part which mentions some dependacies to get adb working and i cand seem to install them [18:36] "a part" meaning the first line? [18:36] lib32ncurses5 and lib32stdc++ [18:37] lib32stdc++ seems to have been renamed to lib32stdc++6 [18:37] it will never have existed without the soname. [18:37] that guide is full of package name errors [18:39]
