oimonbut reisub didn't work for me last night09:21
oimonquite hard to file bugs about it09:21
daubersdwatkins: It's an underground wire fault in the area. Quite hard to track down09:25
dwatkinsdaubers: ah, not good09:25
gordonjcpdaubers: TDR, tone injector and probe...09:26
dwatkinsI thought you could only do that for low voltage cables, such as telephone cables09:27
daubersgordonjcp: No idea :) I know they where out sniffing for it a couple of times when it's gone09:30
ali1234dwatkins: if the power is out, it;s 0v...09:30
dwatkinsali1234: very true, I would be concerned about frying an expensive device that's meant for testing ethernet/telephone cables on a mains circuit09:31

TheOpenSourcererAnyone got any recommendation for a kbd/mouse bundle to use with a laptop (Ubuntu)?13:25
DJonesIf anybody has a joggler, O2 is dropping support at the end of the month http://www.reghardware.com/2012/05/03/o2_drops_support_for_joggler_family_tablet/13:25
ali1234is that... a hash of functions?13:25
TheOpenSourcererOh no! I have a Joggler - somewhere...13:25
TheOpenSourcererCool - Logitech's kbd/mouse says Windows & Linux 2.6 kernel or later :-)13:31
sagaciTheOpenSourcerer: kernel 3.x should work pretty well then13:34
sagaciwonder how long it will take for items to stipulate 3.x and later13:35
TheOpenSourcererAny thoughts on wired kbd/mouse vs wireless?13:35
DJonesTheOpenSourcerer: I use a Logitech M505 wireless mouse on UBuntu without any issues13:35
TheOpenSourcererI have a Logitech Performance Mouse here - It's great. But I want something for the (new) office to use with my lappy.13:36
DJonesI find a wireless mouse is a lot better than a wired one with a laptop, no matter whether you've got the laptop on your lap, on a desk, to your side etc, you don't have to worry about cables getting in the way13:37
TheOpenSourcererNot sure about wireless/wired and whether it's better to go for a separate kbd & mouse.13:37
TheOpenSourcererYeah - I can't quite understand why I'd want a wireless kbd somehow.13:37
TheOpenSourcererMOuse yes.13:38
MooDooi use the microsoft wireless keyboard and mount, seems ok for me.13:41

MooDooi know that lol quite a random statement unless i've missed the conversation :D13:54
BigRedSTheOpenSourcerer: surely you're more likely to lose a wireless mouse than keyboard?14:06
TheOpenSourcererDunno - I don't tend to lose much.14:07
TheOpenSourcererWireless mice are good - they move much more freely.14:07
TheOpenSourcererBut cheap ones aren't too hot - can be slow, short battery cycle etc.14:08
AlanBellI like my little red logitech mouse14:09
AlanBellhave not replaced the battery yet14:09
TheOpenSourcererwhat model is that one?14:09
AlanBellM18514:09
TheOpenSourcererdoes it have the thumb buttons for forward/back?14:10
AlanBellno it is a cheap basic one14:10
TheOpenSourcererOK.14:10
BigRedSAh, I use a trackball because it means I need a smaller area of tidy desk than for a mouse14:10

TheOpenSourcererBigRedS: You can run it from the cli and add -jsconsole to open the Error Console14:25
TheOpenSourcereror -g starts it in the debugger14:26
davmor2_BigRedS: it is a huge memory/cpu hog while it does and initial import of mail14:27

yothsoggothtrue, but he might have had some things he disliked about it that he would've mentioned :P17:49
yothsoggothTo be honest, I'm thinking of doing it more out of laziness than security. My most important passwords I remember anyway, because i use them so often17:49
yothsoggothit's just the general day-to-day passwords I tend to forget, or when I go back to something I haven't had to log onto for a while I find I've forgotten the password and lost the piece of paper I wrote it on or something17:50

MartijnVdSYou could apply some basic brainpower19:04
MartijnVdSand/or trial + error19:04
ali1234i'm applying trial and error and nothing does anything on the front page except enter to go to the first conversation19:05

Nafallohave we got any electricians in this channel? :-)21:22
dwatkinsThat reminds me, I should do the course and become a qualified electrician in case I ever need to find work.21:24
dwatkinsNafallo: what level, on a scale of can-replace-a-plug to re-wired-my-own-house?21:24
Nafallodwatkins: I'm trying to figure out if I can find a really flat cable, and still use it for TV / speakers / media player / dvd player / external hard drives etc...21:26
Nafallothe once I've found seems to be 2 core...21:26
dwatkinsNafallo: there's no reason a flat cable would perform any better, assuming it has enough of a surface area of copper to transmit the required current21:26
Nafallo...which probably isn't awesome for the use case.21:26
dwatkinssounds like you have a mains cable21:26
dwatkinsis this for putting under a carpet?21:27
Nafallono, I'm rather worried about it being worse :-P21:27
Nafallounder a wardrobe door ;-)21:27
Nafalloif I can shut it, so much the better :-)21:27
dwatkinsso long as it's not really thin cable you should be fine (if it's bell wire, it might heat up if you try to pass too much current, I think)21:27
dwatkinswhat do you mean by 'use it'? Mains? composite audio?21:28
dwatkinsI mean composite? audio? etc.21:28
Nafallomains :-)21:28

Myrttiwhat kind of hinges does it have?21:31
Nafallothe safer alternative might be an extension that I just keep disconnecting when I want to close the doors21:32
Nafalloand house share, so yeah... rental21:33
AlanBellhttp://ubottu.com/ircc/ we can haz blog21:33
Nafallohinges are not easily removable21:33
AlanBellgah, wrong channel21:34

* popey mass joins 18 channels21:35
MyrttiNafallo: I was just thinking that you could unscrew the hinges a bit so the cable would fit better21:36
Myrttidepends on the hinges and doors tho21:36
Nafalloyeah, can't do that with these21:39

dogmatic69there is a slight delay in terminal connected to a pc next to me. I think something on the fs is going crazy. any way to check?22:07
dogmatic69seems like 60% full disks was the problem :/22:15
dogmatic69cleared out some stuff and its find now22:15
Azelphurhmm, so this piratebay thing seems to have come on rather sudden, was we never given any chance to object?22:52
shaunoprobably not, as it's been done thru the courts rather than legislatively :/23:03

shaunoUK law is based heavily in case law, and this is basically a replay of the newzbin case23:04
Azelphuryay.23:04
shaunothe pessimist in me wonders how long it'll be until they try to block foreign news services that are breaching superinjunctions.  once the mechanisms are in place, the ability to be silly with them gets more and more slippery23:07

shaunoIt's still a long way from here to there, but it's not unimaginable anymore. I pick the superinjunction example carefully because it just takes two concepts which already exist in UK law.23:20
