| DJones | I'm glad I'm not working in London next week, 3 day tube strike, maintenance and upgrade staff, so wonder how that will affect the running of them | 08:15 |
| oimon | what? | 08:16 |
| oimon | tube strike? | 08:16 |
| oimon | ah, hopefully that won't affect stations | 08:17 |
| DJones | oimon: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-17738569 | 08:18 |
| oimon | bob crow is a greedy greedy man | 08:20 |
| MartijnVdS | How can you strike for 72 hours on one day? | 08:22 |
| oimon | btw if you are on an irc channel with no ops, how does one gain ops privs? | 08:23 |
| MooDoo | oimon: you don't | 08:24 |
| MooDoo | oimon: unless you can find an op or the channel owner, i suppose you could contact freenode staff ? | 08:24 |
| lornajane | oimon: you hunt down someone with ops privs, or you talk to the freenode staff I guess | 08:24 |
| oimon | ok, thanks | 08:25 |
| DJones | oimon: Look at the access list for the channel, that'll tell you who the op s are | 08:26 |
| MartijnVdS | \o/ chanserv | 08:30 |
| JamesTait | Morning all! :) | 08:34 |
| popey | yes! | 08:34 |
| directhex | oimon, a network oper can possibly grant ops, depending on the ircd they use (we use inspircd for work, and i have this power) | 08:40 |
| oimon | tihnk i've solved my terrible graphics performance | 08:48 |
| oimon | switched my nvidia nvs 290 card with a geforce en210 (£20 ebuyer), and performance is much much better | 08:49 |
| oimon | wonder if it's a driver issue or crappy card | 08:49 |
| gord | oimon, the nvidia nvs/quadro numbers and the geforce numbers aren't equivalent, so the gefoce 210 is much newer/advanced than the old geforce 8000 based quadro/nvs card you had | 08:53 |
| gord | nvidia likes to keep the numbers confusing | 08:53 |
| oimon | i think there's a particular issue with the nvs290 judging by launchpad and askubuntu | 08:54 |
| oimon | with dual monitors | 08:54 |
| directhex | looks like the nvs 290 is a rebadged GeForce 8400 GS? | 09:07 |
| awilkins | So ; the HUD menu still summons for applications that do not integrate with the global menu, e.g. Eclipse, or GVim invoked from a terminal. | 09:08 |
| directhex | on paper the geforce 210 is about 50% faster - mostly because the clock speed is about 50% faster | 09:08 |
| popey | awilkins: yes, by design | 09:09 |
| popey | awilkins: it should find the menus in the current focussed app and other stuff like indicators, so from anywhere you could (for example) shutdown/suspend | 09:10 |
| awilkins | popey, I suppose it has utility for that, but it opens with the selected app icon even if it cannot service it with menus, which I suspect could cause some frustration. | 09:10 |
| popey | awilkins: que? | 09:13 |
| awilkins | popey, Opening the hud on, say, Eclipse, shows the Eclipse icon, even though you cannot access the Eclipse menus from the HUD == misleading | 09:14 |
| popey | ahh | 09:14 |
| popey | sounds like a bug | 09:15 |
| * popey tickles gord | 09:15 | |
| gord | sounds like a bug with eclipse! | 09:17 |
| awilkins | I do have the misfortune of using at least 2 applications that don't integrate nicely with the global menu | 09:17 |
| awilkins | The other being gvim-started-from-a-terminal | 09:17 |
| awilkins | Not that I use the menus often in vim | 09:18 |
| gord | vim kind of has its own hud ;) | 09:19 |
| awilkins | The only real annoyance with gvim is that it spews a "WARNING **: Unable to create Ubuntu Menu Proxy: Timeout was reached" onto the terminal after a while. At least it fails immediately now, and doesn't hang around before it restores the "real" menu, which made the window jump a bit. | 09:21 |
| popey | why would you start gvim from the terminal? | 09:24 |
| popey | i guess if you're in a shell already | 09:24 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone. | 09:25 |
| awilkins | popey, Aye, I like to do things like grep for lists of files and open them in gvim | 09:26 |
| awilkins | The shell remains the killer productivity app of *nix systems | 09:26 |
| daubers | Hello, a question someone might be able to answer for me | 09:29 |
| daubers | What does "sticky edges" mean in the display setup window? | 09:29 |
| awilkins | It's the "ridge" in the middle of a double monitor | 09:30 |
| daubers | So why is it a "yes/no" question? | 09:30 |
| DJones | daubers: http://askubuntu.com/questions/119281/what-is-the-function-of-the-sticky-edges-on-off-setting-in-displays | 09:30 |
| DJones | If "Sticky Edges" is enabled the mouse stopps on the edge. | 09:31 |
| gord | firefox keeps trying to correct my spelling to german and i don't know why :( | 09:31 |
| daubers | I see!! | 09:31 |
| daubers | That makes more sense | 09:31 |
| daubers | Have to say, the multi display setup is quite nice now | 09:32 |
| daubers | (compared to what it was) | 09:32 |
| lornajane | I'm just happy I don't have to restart X :) xrandr lets me do everything I need | 09:33 |
| * awilkins is still using nvidia TwinView and thus just has one ginormous display | 09:33 | |
| awilkins | Actually, visiting the display property has removed my second launch bar (because it's one ginormous display, it only has one left edge) | 09:34 |
| lornajane | this new machine I have is a tablet, but it scales the touchpadness across your desktop ... so with a second monitor, your touches across one screen get mapped to locations across two. Not really useful! | 09:36 |
| popey | haha, i have seen this happen ☺ | 09:36 |
| popey | awesome isnt it. | 09:36 |
| lornajane | popey: it was slightly weird until I understood what was happening | 09:37 |
| lornajane | it now makes sense - and I probably don't want to touch screen much anyway while it's docked | 09:37 |
| lornajane | I'm having issues installing a virtual keyboard though, which is a bit of a shame | 09:37 |
| lornajane | I've mislaid my sysadmin this week so I'm writing him a list | 09:37 |

| * daubers suggests someone gets some infiniband gear after saturating a 2 port 10GbE bond | 10:19 | |

| bigcalm | I love how neat and compact is in that case | 12:09 |
| bigcalm | So glad I got one | 12:09 |
| popey | ☺ | 12:09 |
| bigcalm | Right, lets see how easy it is to set up RAID 1 | 12:11 |
| syruss | does anyone know how I can force a specific drive geometry in linux? | 12:20 |
| syruss | basically, I have a 3TB connected via usb (only way on my laptop) and it's coming up as a 768gb disk | 12:20 |
| syruss | (as the sectors are set to 512 instead of 4096 or whatever it is..) | 12:20 |
| syruss | works fine on windows 7 | 12:21 |
| syruss | (I'm running the beta 12.04 ubuntu.. also I checked the latest kernel logs and there's no mention of a fix for this) | 12:21 |
| syruss | kernel.org git logs that is | 12:21 |
| directhex | syruss, the drive works via usb in windows? | 12:22 |
| syruss | yup | 12:22 |
| syruss | well, the issue is it's got ext4 partitions, the fs2 driver (and the other one) don't work on win7 properly.. first one is 32bit and the other one just bluescreens if I try and mount the partition | 12:23 |
| syruss | basically I'm trying to get the data off this hard disk that was out of one of those mybook live NAS'es that got fried in an electrical storm (the controller board was fried but the hard disk survived) | 12:23 |
| directhex | what does parted show? | 12:23 |
| syruss | shows it as a 768gb hdd | 12:23 |
| syruss | in windows, drive management shows all the partitions and the correct size and sizes | 12:24 |
| directhex | and it's a GPT-partitioned disk? | 12:24 |
| syruss | so it must be possible | 12:24 |
| syruss | it is GPT partitioned yes | 12:24 |
| syruss | fdisk -l shows the correct partition information, it's just the kernel is recognising the disk as the wrong size | 12:24 |
| syruss | so really it's not anything to do with partition types etc | 12:24 |
| directhex | fdisk can't operate correctly on gpt | 12:24 |
| syruss | if the kernel can't detect the right geometry for the disk then nothing else matters as it'll never work | 12:25 |
| syruss | so the only work around I can think of is manually specifying 4096 sectors rather than 512 manually somehow... | 12:25 |
| syruss | I've scoured google like mad but can't seem to find anything | 12:25 |
| directhex | and /sys/block/sdX/queue/physical_block_size says 512? | 12:27 |
| syruss | well, I found one thing, which suggested I can pass the geometry to the kernel via /proc but that was only for internal devices | 12:27 |
| syruss | hang on directhex, just booting back out of grub | 12:28 |
| awilkins | This page would suggest that Linux doesn't actually care about disk geometry (but fdisk thinks about it) and that if you can't mount a partition, the problem is something else | 12:29 |
| awilkins | http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO-14.html | 12:29 |
| syruss | it does say 512 yeah | 12:29 |
| * awilkins knows not about fiddly RAID setups thoug | 12:29 | |
| syruss | well awilkins, dmesg presents the wrong disk size | 12:29 |
| syruss | and that in turn makes fdisk, and everything else suffer as they all get confused as they think it's a 768gb disk rather than a 3tb | 12:30 |
| syruss | and I can't write to /sys :( | 12:31 |
| syruss | well, to that node | 12:31 |
| awilkins | Could you pass the kernel boot params e.g. hdd=cyls,heads,sectors ? | 12:31 |
| syruss | possibly, I'm not sure of the syntax, I was trying to find that out | 12:32 |
| * awilkins doesn't know how to do that for USB | 12:32 | |
| syruss | ^ | 12:32 |

| bigcalm | Currently looking at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/40702/how-to-manage-and-use-lvm-logical-volume-management-in-ubuntu/ | 12:37 |

| ali1234 | and are you reaching the limits? | 12:55 |

| davmor2_ | sneaks up on bigcalm and tickles him | 15:10 |
| diplo | I got it before I got charged interest on the Credit card anyhoo | 15:10 |
| bigcalm | davmor2_: have you been cloning yourself? | 15:13 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: no it was the easy way to keep my laptop version of xchat logs the same as my desktop for thursday | 15:14 |
| bigcalm | I see | 15:24 |
| oimon | is there an extension to improve the bookmark manager in chrom/ium? | 15:28 |
| bigcalm | I use xmarks on all of my browsers | 15:29 |
| oimon | i thought that shut down? | 15:29 |
| bigcalm | Nope, it was bought | 15:30 |
| oimon | the chromium manaer is half baked | 15:30 |
| === pancro_ is now known as pancro | ||

| BigRedS | I've four or five I use for work, but they're only bookmarked to guarantee they're at the top of suggestions in teh address bar | 15:48 |

| gord | hrm, third revo to upgrade from $random-animal release to current, first one to have problems :( can't get any display out of it | 16:25 |
| gord | x just gives up | 16:25 |
| popey | gord: i had that on my nvidia desktop | 16:43 |
| popey | i can manually start lightdm and it works | 16:43 |
| popey | but on boot it doesn't | 16:44 |
| bigcalm | My Revo has been powered down for the last 48 hours. This is the longest rest its had since I bought it | 16:44 |
| bigcalm | Will wait until 12.04 is 'ready' before putting it on there for my parents | 16:44 |
| popey | pffft | 16:44 |
| popey | wuss | 16:44 |
| bigcalm | :P | 16:45 |
| bigcalm | Well, considering that it'll have server rather than gui on it, doesn't really matter | 16:45 |
| bigcalm | Or shall I put X on it? Och, I dunno now | 16:45 |
| SuperEngineer | o/ | 16:45 |
| SuperEngineer | this morning's darn 12.04 update completely broke cairo dock | 16:45 |
| bigcalm | It'll only be in their dumping spare room, without a monitor | 16:46 |
| bigcalm | 12.04 is not to be trusted! | 16:46 |
| * SuperEngineer kisses 10.04 partition... [&no double entendre meant!] | 16:49 | |
| MartijnVdS | SuperEngineer: suuure | 16:49 |
| gord | popey, seems to be what i'm having, but it was trying to boot into gdm so maybe it was just that | 16:49 |
| gord | can't get audio out of it now, not through its audio jacks, hdmi or through my little usb -> 3.5mm jack device | 16:51 |
| bigcalm | I should move the server over to the UPS power block. Grumble sticks | 17:41 |
| Daviey | bigcalm: hey, wassup? | 17:50 |
| bigcalm | Daviey: tab failure, but it's good to see you're still alive :) | 17:51 |

| Myrtti | I have no words ;___; been fighting with CMSMS for a day now and thought that there was something wrong with my skills or something, and it turns out that it just didn't like the loooooooonnnngggg CSS' files of Bootstrap and just cut them off. | 18:05 |
| bigcalm | Myrtti: that's a shame :( I've spent a lot of time with CMSMS, but not recently. Hope the project is going well | 18:06 |
| Daviey | AlanBell: I am going to UDS. | 18:22 |

| bigcalm | jussi: not so much, I'm asleep at 2am | 20:19 |
| SuperEngineer | cheers folks | 20:19 |
| SuperEngineer | Just realised: 12.04 doesn't appear to offer me a hibernate option anywhere | 20:46 |
| AlanBell | no Kubuntu CDs this time :( | 20:57 |
| AlanBell | not sure what the chickens are going to do | 20:57 |
| czajkowski | server :) | 21:01 |
| AlanBell | yeah, I think it will have to be, but they will miss the GUI | 21:01 |
| Myrtti | SuperEngineer: I thought I read from somewhere that they've taken it off | 21:01 |
| SuperEngineer | Myrtti, that would account for that ne then! thanks | 21:03 |
| Myrtti | AIUI, I can't even hibernate as I've got random key encrypted swap | 21:04 |
| mgdm | anyone got a handy guide to updating a debian package to a newer release of the upstream code? | 21:13 |

| popey | Azelphur: do you run garrysmod on linux? | 21:54 |
| Azelphur | popey: I've done it before but don't do it regularly | 21:55 |
| popey | how well does it run - e.g. on a Linux VPS? | 21:55 |
| Azelphur | are you talking about the server or the client? | 21:56 |
| popey | server | 21:56 |
| Azelphur | afaik garry is really bad at maintaining the Linux server | 21:57 |
| Azelphur | I remember having to run it under wine | 21:57 |
| popey | so i hear | 21:57 |
| popey | right, thats what i thought | 21:57 |
| Azelphur | popey: It did run ok under wine from what I could see though, I only used it when debugging a issue in SourceIRC that was specific to gmod | 22:00 |
| bigcalm | Night peeps :) | 22:22 |
