DJonesGreetings to the unusual nick12:19
popeymeme:-)12:20
popeymemeThere's not much going on today12:21
DJonesNo, nice and relaxing apart from defrosting a freezer12:22
popeymemeI was just phlogging12:23
popeymemeMost of my systems are now on 12.0412:24
popeymemeApart from the oldest PC, which 12.04 won't install on12:24
popeyuhoh12:24
popeymemeOn the old PC I don't think it's so much the OS itself as the 12.04 installer which runs out of memory12:26
hooverhi folks12:28
popeymemehi12:28
popeyDJones: i did ours last week, so much nicer having drawers that actually move now ☺12:30
popeymeme:-)12:30
DJonespopey: Thats what we're hoping will happen, we've got a dog sat looking at the freezer listening/watching to chunks of ice falling12:31
popeymemeThe think about defrosting is that there never seems to be a convenient time to do it, so it gets endlessly postponed12:32
DJonesThis is true, we've been doing ours next weekend since about Christmas 201012:32
popeymemeIcebergs ahoy12:32
popeyyeah, we have never done outs12:33
popey*ours12:33
popeyi waited till we were a bit "mother hubbard"12:33
DJones+1 Trouble is my wife keeps buying food12:34
popeymemeOf course what's needed is an embedded linux machine to measure the amount of ice, and then bitch about it on Twitter12:34
DJonesI keep telling her that you can survive a couple of months without eating is you really have to12:34

matttdwatkins: that's it, i'm moving up13:59
dwatkinsit's really nice here, I reccomend Edinburgh.13:59
matttdwatkins: be thankful i'm not really moving anywhere any time soon :)  but i like edinburgh, it's a beautiful city14:02
dwatkinsI moved here about 18 months ago, my only regret is choosing BT as an ISP ;)14:02

dwatkinsmattt: ah, not far though14:10
dwatkinsMy favourite pub in Reading is the Back of Beyond. I gather others on here go there sometimes.14:11
dwatkinsThey do a great curry14:11
matttdwatkins: haven't been to that one actually, i usually eat/drink outside of reading to avoid having to pay for parking :P14:12
matttunless i'm going for dim sum or a burrito14:12
dwatkinsmattt: yeah, I know what you mean - there's the Queens Road car park near the BoB though, it's not too expensive14:13
matttdwatkins: what took you to edinburgh?  job?14:14
dwatkinsmattt: partly, there was also a woman involved ;)14:15
matttdwatkins: heh, i should have known14:15
mattt:)14:15
dwatkinsI wouldn't have just moved up here for her, though - it's a great place to live, especially as I'm within walking distance of so many great shops and the town itself14:16
matttdwatkins: careful, everything you said is logged and searchable on the wider 'net :P14:17
mattt*everything you say14:18
dwatkinshehe, yeah14:18
dwatkinsyou could probably pinpoint my location within a mile or two from that14:18
matttdwatkins: was more concerned what you said about her :P14:19
dwatkinsmattt: heh, I could say a whole lot more, suffice to say she's moved on14:20

dwatkinsindeed, her loss :)14:20
matttdwatkins: did you ever go to the reading geek nights ?14:20
dwatkins(she's now living in London, and doesn't like the city)14:20
dwatkinsmattt: no, I moved away just as I discovered people here were meeting up in the area14:20
matttdwatkins: i've gone to one, it was ... ok14:21
dwatkinsI hung out with my colleagues in Reading, they were pretty geeky ;)14:22
matttdwatkins: i work in london, so don't know too many people around here14:25

Flashtekany tricks on getting ACPI etc working on a Dell Inspiron M5010 ?16:22
SuperMatthey guys, how can I tell when anacron is next due to run?16:27
SuperMattor indeed, are there any logs for it?16:27
brobostigonSuperMatt: cron output should be in /var/log/syslog16:28
SuperMatthmm, I can see that cron.daily executed sucessfully, but it hasn't done what I need it to do16:29
SuperMattI put a file in /etc/cron.daily/ and I don't think it has executed it16:30
brobostigonhave you checked the format etc, is correct in that file?16:30
SuperMattI didn't have #! /bin/bash at the start, it seems16:31
SuperMattthat should be it16:31

dogmatic69Hi all16:59
dogmatic69just switched to eth0 \o/16:59
MartijnVdSas opposed to?16:59
dogmatic69got some of those eth over mains16:59
dogmatic69wifi17:00
dogmatic69would drop connection 20+ times per day and just had enough17:00
dogmatic69now my dns is not working though :/17:01
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: not just dhcp?17:02
dogmatic69MartijnVdS: I have a blade server that has all my dev code (php etc) that I set up with bind917:03
dogmatic69so it handles *.dev sites17:03
dogmatic69well, when I set my dns server to the blade. all others are just bypased17:03
dogmatic69Cant do it at the router level atm as I have a sky router :/17:04
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: you can put it in your dhclient.conf17:05
dogmatic69where about is that?17:05
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf17:05
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: there's a line with "#prepend domain-name-servers"17:05
MartijnVdSdogmatic69: if you remove the "#" and replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP of your DNS server, it'll always add your own DNS server to the list (as the first one)17:06
dogmatic69nice17:06
dogmatic69Let me check that out.17:07
dogmatic69Just checking my blade still has the same IP address. The DHCP on the router was set to make it 192.168.0.2 but my pc lost its config switching from wifi to eth. I guess the mac is for the wifi dongle17:08
MartijnVdSDHCP servers tend to do that ;)17:09
dogmatic69the Sky router interface is so crap. Can never find what I am looking for17:09
