[00:21] well, dads machine mostly ok - although wth his flash is crashing reliably, every time is a separate question [00:28] boo flash [00:31] indeed, but he does watch things like news.bbc - but I've never seen it crash like this before; it's not even giving a grey block; it's just not appearing at all, not even taking space up - and there is an entry appearing each time in .mozilla/Crash Reports [00:34] tried a clean FF profile? [00:36] no, but it was a fresh install [03:44] Hi [03:44] I am using chrome on ubuntu 11.10, I am unable to launch jnlp file. Any known issue? [07:13] My X ! Ti's broken!

I've checked /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and it is set to lts, update and upgrade to the latest lucid. But still get "No new release found" after running sudo do-release-upgrade [10:13] you might need to run [10:13] hmm [10:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades#Upgrade_from_11.10_to_12.04_LTS_and_10.04_LTS_to_12.04_LTS [10:36] I needed to use the -d flag [10:36] since it won't appear as an upgrade until the .1 release [11:05] Long shot [11:06] But what could a 3 pin cable be coming out of my psu? [11:06] kvarley: fan monitoring? [11:07] Nafallo: For the PSU's fan? [11:08] There is one coming out of the ATX power connector for the motherboard too which is weird [13:06] Everyone is at/watching/celebrating the jubilee? [13:09] MartijnVdS: me,sort of.. I was going to swim ahead of them on the Thames... but the water's too cold ;) [13:09] so I'm watchin on magic picture box [13:10] SuperEngineer: BBC One HD here [13:10] [& celebrating by raising a glass] [13:10] BBC LD here [13:10] * MartijnVdS drinks some tea, despite being Dutch [13:10] SuperEngineer: reminds me of the chap that interrupted the oxford/cambridge boat race. [13:10] ;) [13:10] brobostigon: that _wasn't_ SuperEngineer ? [13:11] [nope, that wasn't me] [13:11] MartijnVdS: i doubt it. :) [13:11] they seek him here, they seek him there..... [13:11] if he's really a super engineer, his submarine would've worked properly? ;) [13:12] SuperEngineers don'rt need submarines [13:12] [just a spell checker ;)] [13:13] [Liam Proven] A handy postcard-sized guide to programming languages - http://liam-on-linux.livejournal.com/29693.html [13:16] commentator remarks "The Duke of Edinburgh just out of shot"! Is the duke shooting the oideons or the noisy ones in the crowd?

One could ged pee'd off, you know. [14:42] SuperEngineer: That is why the Queen values the commonwealth so much, well not Canada, but most of the places are warmer and drier [14:48] Oh look, there's parliament. Ready cannons. [14:48] lol [14:48] o! not aiming at me you fools, this is one's special day! [14:48] Queen_UK's twitter account++ [14:50] MartijnVdS: loved the "cut glass with..." tweet ;) [14:51] [made I giggle] [14:54] * SuperEngineer congrats National Theatre... that was impressive [14:57] nice horse wasn't it [14:57] AlanBell: yup [15:38] well that was impressive.. but none of more so than Britannia launch being saluted by Britannia choo choo on bridge [15:38] hey - who inserted the "of" in that - doh! [15:41] think I might buy a GTX 680, I hear they solve all the quad screen issues [15:41] I asked on nvnews, and an nvidia rep literally just replied with "Yes." xD [15:48] How many roads must a man walk down? None sir, One goes by boat!

[17:47] penguin42: no - but not for crashing into buildings in Lagos while carrying 162 passengers [17:50] SuperEngineer: Well, actually http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_on_commercial_airliners_grouped_by_location#Nigeria you're right, they normally don't hit the buildings [17:52] penguin42 you are missing a soul - why not hunt for it on Wikisoul [17:53] SuperEngineer: I tried, they didn't have one that would fit [17:54] i guessed that [17:57] SuperEngineer: Lots of people die every day, it's a bad thing of course it is, but I'm not going to be too surprised by a 3rd world airliner crashing; there are over 2000 people killed on the roads in the UK each year - you can't feel bad about every death [17:57] (* unless you were the guy flying/servicing the aircraft....) [18:00] * SuperEngineer wonders if banning bigotry racism could be extended to comments such as the above [18:12] SuperEngineer: Apologies - my intention is not to offend; but I really can't let every bad thing in the world upset me; there are too many bad things === webpigeo1 is now known as webpigeon [19:30] evening [19:31] howdy [19:34] evenin [19:40] \o [19:40] g'morning!

[19:45] if I remembered it was flotilla day I might have gone :( [19:45] * Laney gnaws on MartijnVdS [19:45] * MartijnVdS runs away [19:45] darn zombies [19:46] i was in the hopsital :( [19:47] uh oh.. [19:47] * Laney rubs delicious marinade on directhex [19:47] are they coming home soon? :( [19:50] directhex: hospital why ? [19:52] Laney, was going to be today, but they revoked access due to blood pressure [19:55] Laney: no, but there will be soon [19:56] ok [19:56] I got all the patches together to fix the current ftbfs and was wondering if it's worthwhile uploading [19:58] directhex: what did you have a boy or girl? [19:58] * czajkowski waves at popey how did ye get on at Vauxhall? [19:58] czajkowski, boy [19:58] Laney: oooh! for unity on quantal? [19:59] ja [19:59] directhex: lovely! name? [19:59] love you [19:59] czajkowski, nathan [19:59] i think nux needs bumping to use the new boost too [19:59] let didrocks know pls [19:59] but that's no-change [19:59] aye [19:59] yes, there is that [19:59] some of the patches were his too [19:59] i'll whack it up once the crumble is in [20:00] om nom rhubarb [20:00] he was working on the ftbfs last week [20:00] nom! [20:00] and parp [20:00] czajkowski: that was most odd [20:03] czajkowski: see my fb/G+ status about it [21:09] http://www.themagpi.com/ looks interesting, popey - in case you hvn't seen it already [22:01] Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu [22:02] I was wondering if it is possible to uninstall the IM service included with 12.04 [22:03] There's a lot of web-based add-ons included with ubuntu I don't want to keep [22:03] I think the chat software is called pidgon [22:56] Beep [22:57] Beeeee Beep! [22:57] DFS >_ [22:57] *. [22:58] That's about as much as I remember without looking things up [23:05] I thought my Tomtom needed new imagery, so I put this on it from a BBC Micro... http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7230/7206087872_0265a13252.jpg [23:06] what's the res on the tomtom? [23:06] I think mine is 320x240, penguin42 [23:07] close to Mode1 :-) [23:07] Heh, cute [23:08] yeah, I imagine you could run an emulator in theory, but you'd need some kind of keyboard [23:08] does it do bluetooth ? [23:08] yeah, I think so [23:09] well there you go :-) [23:09] indeed, although mine doesn't have an SD Card slot, so I'd use one which the storage can be replaced in. [23:09] * penguin42 wonders why Tomtom's are still going given all the mobiles these days [23:10] I prefer having a discrete device to do navigation that's separate from my phone. [23:10] Doesn't rely upon a 'net connection [23:10] Also, I don't want to have to download maps as I go (although I could install the Tomtom app on my phone, all 2 GB of it) [23:10] Can hook into traffic situations [23:10] The app is quite expensive, I think. [23:11] also, it's not compatible with my phone. [23:14] you can make google maps cache areas now [23:14] so you just cache the areas you are gonna be in often [23:21] * hamitron doesn't know which areas to cache, that he will get lost in [23:21] yeah, I live in Scotland but don't know the area, so I'd prefer to have the entire country already on a device. [23:22] same [23:22] about having it all there I mean [23:22] * bigcalm likes getting lost :) [23:22] get lost then ;) [23:23] ovi maps has always been able to do that [23:23] if you have a big enough SD card you can put ALL the maps on it [23:23] The other difference between my Tomtom and my phone is that the windscreen mount for the Tomtom works several orders of magnitude better than the one for my phone ;) [23:23] iirc the Tomtom app is £70. [23:23] I tried ovi maps on a phone..... [23:24] I had to travel at 50mph to get the directions given in time [23:24] :/ [23:24] in time? were you in a DeLorean, hamitron? ;) [23:25] hehe [23:26] best I've used on a phone is route66 on my ngage [23:26] ah, the iPhone Tomtom app is only £40... [23:27] but never tried the stuff that needs net connection [23:27] does that £40 lock the app to that phone? [23:28] no, the app is tied to your iTunes account, so you can install it on another iPhone no problem. [23:28] is that the same for android apps? [23:28] I believe so, yes. [23:28] hamitron, yes [23:28] that is something I guess [23:28] :) [23:29] hmm, doesn't look like there's a UK Tomtom app yet for Android. [23:29] :-o [23:30] * hamitron crosses off android phone on his wish list and writes "iphone" [23:32] * gbyers_ does not know why he is here it just logs him in automatically he is really in irc.twit.tv [23:33] you can't hide the fact you love been here [23:33] ;) [23:33] a feature helps you out with that [23:37] hamitron, join us on irc.twit.tv [23:38] why? [23:38] I think I maybe got enough channels to troll already :) [23:41] you can join in on the tech chat hamitron with Leo Laporte Live [23:42] who? ;/ [23:42] * hamitron is too lazy to move, sorry [23:50] hamitron, have you never listendto this week in tech, tech news today , this week in google, FLOSS WEEKLY ? [23:51] I used to listen to TWiT and Security Now. [23:51] how can I rename *.foo.bar to *.bar [23:51] dogmatic69: with a regexp and the 'rename' command. [23:51] dwatkins, its live now live.twit.tv [23:51] cool [23:51] dogmatic69: rename "s/.foo.bar$/.bar/g" * [23:51] find ./ -exec rename ? [23:52] dwatkins, I think there is a show you would really like called floss weekly [23:52] stgraber: thanks [23:52] thanks gbyers_, I'll check it out [23:54] I may go back and listen to Security Now from the beginning, as they explained TCP/IP from the ground upwards. [23:54] * penguin42 hands dwatkins a flock of pidgeons [23:54] and a hawk [23:54] Network transport via avian carrier? [23:55] dwatkins, yea its where they talk about open source software http://twit.tv/show/floss-weekly [23:55] dwatkins: Yep, the hawk lets you get used to retries
