[08:21] Morning [08:21] morning daubers [08:27] No power again this morning \o/ [08:30] yay :S [08:31] I wonder how long it will be before this is a widespread problem. [08:31] are you in a remote location, daubers, or does the building just have wiring issues? [09:13] good morning everyone, [09:15] morning brobostigon [09:16] morning MooDoo [09:17] seeing more reports of hard freezes in 12.04. i've have some myself on 2 different machines :-\ [09:19] what hardware? [09:20] intel based dell laptop , and nvidia graphics on a HP [09:20] core2duo [09:20] usualy when clicking on the launcher [09:21] but reisub didn't work for me last night [09:21] quite hard to file bugs about it [09:25] dwatkins: It's an underground wire fault in the area. Quite hard to track down [09:25] daubers: ah, not good [09:26] daubers: TDR, tone injector and probe... [09:27] I thought you could only do that for low voltage cables, such as telephone cables [09:30] gordonjcp: No idea :) I know they where out sniffing for it a couple of times when it's gone [09:30] dwatkins: if the power is out, it;s 0v... [09:31] ali1234: very true, I would be concerned about frying an expensive device that's meant for testing ethernet/telephone cables on a mains circuit [09:31] we can haz office :) [09:32] well i would expect they have a custom device [09:35] yeah, a trained badger ;) [09:51] AlanBell: DO TELL [09:51] (tell me all the things, particularly whether it has room for me and popey!) [09:51] ;) [09:54] (and hooray, congrats, etc) [09:59] hehe it's always good catching up with Amber Grainer :D [10:07] morning all [10:10] davmor2: you rock god, how the devil are you!

[10:28] the jackd package in Ubuntu has some silly superfluous deps [10:28] my buttons are on the right and i can't find an option to move them left [10:29] ging: it's a thing you change in gconf-editor [10:29] ging: Which theme are you using? I think its only Ambience and Radiance that do that [10:30] gordonjcp: is itunder unity shell? [10:31] christel: in the granary, behind sugarcraft [10:31] near the statin [10:31] station [10:32] Not much room for "hangers-on" though... [10:32] I'd call it small but perfectly formed. [10:32] it is *nice* [10:33] cool :) [10:37] TheOpenSourcerer: tsk tsk! [10:38] apparently we can upgrade it to a bigger one at some point [10:42] AlanBell: TheOpenSourcerer well done [10:43] dont forget oggcamp 12 is live, http://oggcamp.org/ dont forget to register [10:45] yay oggcamp [10:45] MooDoo: will you be showing up ?

[11:20] there is a bug 704187, which predates 12.04 but is the most similar [11:20] Launchpad bug 704187 in unity (Ubuntu) "Unable to add Wine applications to Unity launcher" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/704187 [11:20] but assignee->nobody now :( [11:21] MooDoo: Yeah, some of their older names are pretty cool, then stuff like Beefy Miracle and Spherical Cow ¬¬ [11:21] serious issue for my wife running some wine apps, and for me too [11:21] yothsoggoth: then again ubuntu's aren't brilliant, after q i axpect r to be totally unprenounsable lol [11:22] gord assigned jason smith to it, but now it's unassigned [11:22] MooDoo: Yeah, Quantal Quetzal's already pretty difficult, doesn't exactly roll off the tongue does it lol [11:23] ah, maybe that's just bamf (whatever that is) [11:23] diplo, can you "affects me" on that bug too pls, [11:24] yothsoggoth: next one will be ranunculaceous racoon ;) [11:24] MooDoo: Spherical Cow isn't looking too bad now eh?

[11:28] my best experience of getting bugs fixed is show them to popey, then they magically get fixed [11:28] i'll have to try my luck on AlanBell next! [11:29] christel: i'm other end of the country am i not [11:29] true :( [11:29] my other half is completely useless at anything practical [11:29] he took 6 days off work to "help pack before we move" [11:29] christel: if i were closer obviously i'd have jumped at the chance to be in your presence ;) [11:29] gosh [11:29] in those 6 days he managed to pack ONE box of dvds.. [11:29] wow [11:30] * AlanBell reads back for context [11:30] christel: Ill assemble all the furniture you want if you pay for my ticket there :D [11:30] jussi: deal! [11:31] cool, send the the details :D [11:31] christel: you should of had a packing party ) [11:31] tell me when you're free! hehe [11:31] MooDoo: ooh good thinking!

[13:19] it does by default, which is normally good [13:19] the wrapping needs fixing really [13:19] no spaces at all? [13:20] there are spaces [13:20] it is in a

[13:24]  nope, still looks awful
[13:24]  do pastebins normally want to wrap?
[13:25]  Anyone got any recommendation for a kbd/mouse bundle to use with a laptop (Ubuntu)?
[13:25]  If 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]  is that... a hash of functions?
[13:25]  Oh no! I have a Joggler - somewhere...
[13:31]  Cool - Logitech's kbd/mouse says Windows & Linux 2.6 kernel or later :-)
[13:34]  TheOpenSourcerer: kernel 3.x should work pretty well then
[13:35]  wonder how long it will take for items to stipulate 3.x and later
[13:35]  Any thoughts on wired kbd/mouse vs wireless?
[13:35]  TheOpenSourcerer: I use a Logitech M505 wireless mouse on UBuntu without any issues
[13:36]  I have a Logitech Performance Mouse here - It's great. But I want something for the (new) office to use with my lappy.
[13:37]  I 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 way
[13:37]  Not sure about wireless/wired and whether it's better to go for a separate kbd & mouse.
[13:37]  Yeah - I can't quite understand why I'd want a wireless kbd somehow.
[13:38]  MOuse yes.
[13:41]  i use the microsoft wireless keyboard and mount, seems ok for me.
[13:43]  This is what I have at home - the dogs danglies: http://www.ebuyer.com/172750-logitech-performance-mouse-mx-with-darkfield-laser-tracking-usb-with-nano-910-001121

[13:53]  ?
[13:53]  It's like a 3d triangle
[13:54]  but with a square base
[13:54]  i know that lol quite a random statement unless i've missed the conversation :D
[14:06]  TheOpenSourcerer: surely you're more likely to lose a wireless mouse than keyboard?
[14:07]  Dunno - I don't tend to lose much.
[14:07]  Wireless mice are good - they move much more freely.
[14:08]  But cheap ones aren't too hot - can be slow, short battery cycle etc.
[14:09]  I like my little red logitech mouse
[14:09]  have not replaced the battery yet
[14:09]  what model is that one?
[14:09]  M185
[14:10]  does it have the thumb buttons for forward/back?
[14:10]  no it is a cheap basic one
[14:10]  OK.
[14:10]  Ah, I use a trackball because it means I need a smaller area of tidy desk than for a mouse
[14:11]  which might explain how I lose mice
[14:11]  lol

[14:23]  Hi peeps :)
[14:23]  Hm. Thunderbird keeps dragging the system to a crawl and then exiting with error messages that are probably not all that useful
[14:23]  anyone know a way to run it with more info?
[14:25]  BigRedS: You can run it from the cli and add -jsconsole to open the Error Console
[14:26]  or -g starts it in the debugger
[14:27]  BigRedS: it is a huge memory/cpu hog while it does and initial import of mail
[14:27]  BigRedS: if it is crashing it should ask you to send a report
[14:27]  BigRedS: if it hasn't may I suggest you empty /var/crash and try it again
[14:31]  Ah, yeah, maybe it's just trying to download everything, running out of memory and crashing...
[14:31]  why can't these things be well-behaved?
[14:32]  any pages people can advise on setting up a mumble server ?
[14:32]  what I got earlier to terminal was this: http://pastebin.com/mMURV7s7 which I think isn't overly useful
[14:32]  'techteam' is an imapfolder with several thousand messages in it
[14:39]  several thousand doesn't seem like a lot.
[14:39]  Unless they all have large attachments
[14:40]  Most of my accounts in TB have tens of thousands of messages.
[14:41]  yeah, I've not seen TB have an issue with this mailbox before
[14:41]  but 'before' wasn't ubuntu :)
[14:41]  Is there some way to tell it to ignore old mail?
[14:45]  might want to try on the #ubuntu-mozilla-team room (sorry that isn't the right name and Empathy doesn't give you a room list) :-(

[15:58]  yeah, OK
[15:59]  AlanBell: the correct answer to that is Yeah but it'll cost ya

[17:33]  yeah, bit of a fail
[17:33]  there will be zero to display soon :)
[17:33]  Does it come with those 4:3 monitors and printer?

[17:46]  isn't that a bit of a pointless question? obviously he likes it or he wouldn't use it. and the rest of it probably don't think it is a good idea or we would...
[17:47]  personally i think you are safer printing the passwords on a piece of paper and keeping it in your desk
[17:49]  true, but he might have had some things he disliked about it that he would've mentioned :P
[17:49]  To 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 often
[17:50]  it'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 something

[19:04]  it answers your question
[19:04]  no it doesn't
[19:04]  no at all
[19:04]  You could apply some basic brainpower
[19:04]  and/or trial + error
[19:05]  i'm applying trial and error and nothing does anything on the front page except enter to go to the first conversation
[19:05]  and then i can't go to any others
[19:05]  just go up and down inside that one
[19:05]  it says j / k
[19:05]  yeah they do nothing
[19:06]  works for me
[19:06]  and why use different keys to do the same thing on different screens?
[19:06]  why not just use the arrow keys
[19:09]  jk are the same as in vi
[19:09]  it's up/down
[19:09]  and mutt, and google reader
[19:09]  up/down inside a message means something else (probably browses the trhead)

[19:15]  popey: man keyboards are so old school when can I tell my computer what to do and just have it do it
[19:28]  * TheOpenSourcerer has just bought a Galaxy SIII and got a Galaxy Tab for free with it.
[19:28]  oooh
[19:28]  CPW
[19:28]  first 1000 customers.
[19:28]  cool
[19:28]  envy.
[19:29]  Going with Vodafone coz O2 annoyed me so much.
[19:29]  don't drop it
[19:29]  lol
[19:30]  AlanBell: what, calls? :P
[19:30]  how big is the tab?
[19:30]  8 spaces
[19:31]  4 spaces!!
[19:31]  * AlanBell claps
[19:31]  ali1234: 8!
[19:31]  4!
[19:31]  8!
[19:31]  Dunno
[19:31]  * AlanBell googles it instead
[19:31]  It says worth ~£399 so I guess the 10" (DO they even make a small one?)
[19:31]  Aren't there 9001 variations of Galaxy Tab these days ;)
[19:31]  oh, there are three
[19:32]  http://www.samsung.com/uk/galaxytab/
[19:32]  or was that the Transformer?
[19:33]  I want the transformer infinity when it comes out (if there is a chance it will run Ubuntu at some point)
[19:34]  Right. Time for a beer and some telly. Will see you at the station (near our new office) before 07:58 tomorrow AlanBell
[19:35]  ok
[20:09]  * MartijnVdS loves the Google Documents "comment" feature
[20:09]  Where you can comment on (parts of) a document
[20:09]  in conversations
[20:09]  and then mark them "resolved"
[20:18]  * bigcalm kicks the Rackspace portal up the bum
[20:19]  Work you silly thing!
[20:19]  but.. it doesn't WANT to!
[20:20]  bigcalm: threaten to switch to web-toast.co.uk (they're a pound a month)
[20:27]  Ooo, must be good
[20:32]  bigcalm: yeah, I imagine it's pretty basic and there's no support
[20:33]  anyone know of half decent reseller hosting?
[20:35]  reselling what, the hosting itself, dogmatic69?
[20:35]  I want to get a reseller account
[21:22]  have we got any electricians in this channel? :-)
[21:24]  That reminds me, I should do the course and become a qualified electrician in case I ever need to find work.
[21:24]  Nafallo: what level, on a scale of can-replace-a-plug to re-wired-my-own-house?
[21:26]  dwatkins: 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]  the once I've found seems to be 2 core...
[21:26]  Nafallo: 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 current
[21:26]  ...which probably isn't awesome for the use case.
[21:26]  sounds like you have a mains cable
[21:27]  is this for putting under a carpet?
[21:27]  no, I'm rather worried about it being worse :-P
[21:27]  under a wardrobe door ;-)
[21:27]  if I can shut it, so much the better :-)
[21:27]  so 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)
[21:28]  what do you mean by 'use it'? Mains? composite audio?
[21:28]  I mean composite? audio? etc.
[21:28]  mains :-)
[21:29]  no power socket inside the wardrobe
[21:29]  :-(
[21:31]  builtin wardrobe?
[21:31]  yeah
[21:31]  rental?
[21:31]  what kind of hinges does it have?
[21:32]  the safer alternative might be an extension that I just keep disconnecting when I want to close the doors
[21:33]  and house share, so yeah... rental
[21:33]  http://ubottu.com/ircc/ we can haz blog
[21:33]  hinges are not easily removable
[21:34]  gah, wrong channel
[21:34]  * popey pastes
[21:35]  * popey mass joins 18 channels
[21:36]  Nafallo: I was just thinking that you could unscrew the hinges a bit so the cable would fit better
[21:36]  depends on the hinges and doors tho
[21:39]  yeah, can't do that with these
[21:40]  I'm going to have to give in and watch Quantum of Solace before long
[21:40]  damn that Shuttleworth
[21:45]  does anyone know if thepiratebay is supposed to be blocked yet?
[21:45]  I can still access it
[21:45]  I think BT were considering appealing
[21:54]  is blocked from virginmedia.
[21:57]  Laney: you flying with BA to USA?
[21:57]  it's one of the in flight movies
[21:58]  QUANTAL OF SOLACE
[21:58]  united, sadly
[21:58]  * AlanBell is flying BA to UDS
[21:58]  eww
[21:58]  possibly sadly, no idea what they are like
[22:06]  evening evening
[22:07]  there 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?
[22:15]  seems like 60% full disks was the problem :/
[22:15]  cleared out some stuff and its find now
[22:52]  hmm, so this piratebay thing seems to have come on rather sudden, was we never given any chance to object?
[23:03]  probably not, as it's been done thru the courts rather than legislatively :/
[23:03]  :/
[23:03]  I'll just knock up a one click multi-OS bypass.
[23:03]  if I disappear, you know the feds got me
[23:04]  UK law is based heavily in case law, and this is basically a replay of the newzbin case
[23:04]  yay.
[23:07]  the 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 slippery
[23:09]  shauno: exactly, it's happend loads of times in other countries, we're screwed now
[23:14]  meh
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
[23:20]  It'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.
