penguin42Mornin'00:33
KorallisMornin :-) just made the jump from windows to ubuntu so thaught id drop in and say hi to everyone. :-)00:34
penguin42it's a bit dead around this time of the morning - only madmen like me are awake at this hour :-)00:34
* Korallis joins the madmen club 00:35
penguin42:-)00:35
penguin42Korallis: All working OK for you?00:35
Korallislol aye. im sat here with a vodka n coke, an os i know nothing about and im loving that i can actualy cli things :-)00:36
penguin42haha good00:36
Korallisyeah penguin42 so far, installing wine for my fix of World of Warcraft, had a small issue with samaba sharing of my other windows box but thats now fixed :-) other than that im happy ish.. although themeing could be easier. but like i said still a complete "noob" to this00:37
Korallissaying that tho i am a pc engineer (MS) so with a bit of reading and tweaking here and there im sure il pick it up00:37
penguin42I'm sure you will00:38
Korallisone thing thats driving me crazy00:38
Korallisi installed someone's theme off deviant art.00:38
TheFredKorallis, welcome :)00:38
Korallisproblem i have now is text is white in some windows. how can i change the font colour accross a shell theme?00:39
KorallisThank you TheFred :-)00:39
TheFredgo to edit->profile preferences-> colours00:39
KorallisTheFred, i didnt mean in irc .. i ment accross like for example the window in ubuntu software center,00:42
Korallisthe fonts are all white.00:42
Korallisand i wanna change em all to black.. :-000:42
TheFredKorallis, ah - thats under .... right click on desktop (ctrl+left/right cursr keys to change desktop), then select change background, from there click appearence, and you should be able to hunt it down00:44
TheFredpkill idle00:45
TheFredsorry - wrong window00:45
Korallisnope.. you will never guess whats fixed it. going to universal access and setting High contrast then back to normal contrast fixed everything .. Very strange indeed. ahh well working fine now :-) thank00:45
Korallisyou00:45
TheFredlol, thats good to know... never heard of that before :)00:46
Korallislol if thats the kinda bug that happens in ubunutu im happy all win 7 / 8 bugs are system errors that really pea me off00:46
Andres-kain2korallis what do you think of the dash and hud?00:47
TheFredit does have its quirks00:47
KorallisAndres-kain2, in ubuntu or Win 8?00:47
Andres-kain2ubuntu.00:47
Korallisits Different,00:47
Andres-kain2did not know w8 used same terms.00:47
KorallisI love the transparancy of the dock bar..00:47
KorallisAndres-kain2,  win 8 is basically MS port of gnome300:48
Korallisfrom what i can see.00:48
Korallisits bad as hell aswell.00:48
Korallisbut in regards to ubuntu.00:48
KorallisThis unity is .kinda nice, not so easy to navigate for a complete stranger or the average joe, but not too hard either the search bar helps alot.00:49
Korallisfinding Newley installed programs is so easy00:49
Korallisthe Dash itself. is too plain..00:50
Andres-kain2so you are a windows power user and already aware of multiple desktops, scrolling different windows without clicking and such?00:50
Korallisnot enough gadgets.00:50
Korallisaye lol00:50
Andres-kain2so type windows+s00:50
Koralliswindows+s?00:51
Korallisahh00:52
Andres-kain2yeah windows button called <supr>00:52
Korallisusing a mac keyboard... <00:52
Korallisbut i figured it00:52
Korallisthats nifty but not my thing i prefer alt and an arrow key tbh00:52
Andres-kain2ok, whatever equivalent ;)00:52
Andres-kain2default is alt+ctrl+arrows00:53
Andres-kain2but can be changed00:53
Korallisso it is. didnt realise ctrl was been held down by my vodka lol00:53
Korallisanywyas if your after a Brand new users first impressions of ubuntu's gui00:54
Korallisits impressive the transparancy is Amazingly beautifull,00:54
Andres-kain2as well as animation of rotating cube but as a power user i doubt would like it.00:54
Korallisthe search feature on the dash home is pretty nifty00:54
Koralliswhat00:54
Korallisanimation?00:54
Korallisi like animation.00:54
Korallisand gadgets and effects.00:55
Korallissod the cpu requirements i got 12GB DDR3 and an I7 extreme cpu. i can handle it <300:55
Andres-kain2like floppy windows, rotating cube, burning windows when closing,...00:55
Andres-kain2requirements are low, my 4 year old netbook can do it.00:56
Andres-kain2it's called compiz for animations.00:56
Andres-kain2as for gadgets i have enough with notificatio (top right) but i have heard of conky and screenlets but not sure00:57
Andres-kain2i am a normal, home user so i thought power users were not into these "firefork" type thing.00:59
Andres-kain2compiz is cool to make terminal window (and any other) transparent for example...01:00
Korallishmm... i may be a power user. but im a whore for effects and desktop themes lol01:00
Andres-kain2oh! one thing i really like is the headsupdisplay... basically the same as the dash (looking for apps and files) but within an app01:01
Korallishmm right time to go "googling" and playing this conky dock bar looks Awesome and man compiz is fantastic.01:03
Korallisright on that note im gunna go to bed for tonight. and play with this tommorrow.01:03
Andres-kain2so say you are using firefox and you want to use a comand that is in some hidden menu ...instead of going through all nested menus you just alt01:03
Andres-kain2and type it01:03
KorallisThanks again and have a good night.01:03
Andres-kain2good night01:03
Andres-kain2enjoy vodka01:03
Korallisgood night mate. thanks :-)01:03
* Korallis shares the vodka 01:04
Andres-kain2humm that was interesting.01:04
Andres-kain2seems like windows8 is the new vista?01:05
Andres-kain2good night!01:13

Koralliskvarley, thank you :-)13:12
Koralliswell its official im fully ubuntu now. deleted all traces of windows partitions and reinstalled ubuntu with proper linux partitions <313:12
kvarleyKorallis: Np, the last way (softpedia) is probably the easiest. PlayOnLinux will give you a graphical installer and setup everything for you =]13:12
kvarleyKorallis: =]13:12
Koralliskvarley, wanna avoid POL if i can. rather do it the normal way, i got wow working fine so D3 should be easy :-)13:13
kvarleyKorallis: Ok =]13:13
Koralliskvarley, i wanna start using Terminal more. i love cli.. it makes me feel smart and teaches me something lol.13:14
kvarleyKorallis: I went through a year or so thinking it was annoying...Then I realised it's power lol13:14
Korallisas a windows poweruser , im  sick of clicking things and it not working, its soo much faster using cli, moving stuff copyin stuff etc.. is just way faster.13:15

Korallisconfigure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries. How do i Do this? any help :P?15:16
MartijnVdSKorallis: what are you trying to buid?15:17
MartijnVdSbuild*15:17
Korallisapt-get source wine1.4 :-)15:17
MartijnVdSwhy source?15:18
MartijnVdSwhy not "install"? :)15:18
Korallishttp://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11677311&postcount=1215:18
MartijnVdSanyway, what you want is 'apt-get build-dep' :)15:18
Korallisi did that.15:18
penguin42building the wine package I seem to remember is not fun15:18
Korallissudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3 which pulls down 1.4 (from ppa )15:18
MartijnVdSI have 1.4..15:18
Korallisbut upon ./configure gives that error.15:18
Korallisor when i run make15:19
Koralliscan't remeber15:19
MartijnVdSyes but 1.4 is packaged and binary15:19
MartijnVdSso you don't need to compile it yourself15:19
MartijnVdSah15:19
MartijnVdSa GL patch :)15:19
MartijnVdSuhr15:19
Korallisthis is a patched version15:19
MartijnVdSKorallis: then you want to build it as a package15:19
Korallisto allow multi core cpu in wow for better fps. instead of 2015:19
MartijnVdStry "debuild"15:19
MartijnVdSor "dpkg-buildpackage -b"15:19
MartijnVdSinstead of 'configure'15:19
Korallisso i just run that command?15:19
Korallisok hold on15:19
MartijnVdSinside the wine-source directory (where you also run "./configure")15:20
Korallisits doing something.15:20
MartijnVdS\o/15:20
MartijnVdSit uses the packaging tools to build custom packages15:20
Korallisso this is building the patcakge.15:21
MartijnVdSthey'll end up one level higher -- cd ..15:21
MartijnVdSthen "ls" to see which .deb files were created15:21
MartijnVdSdpkg -i file.deb to install15:21
Korallisas long as this installs patched 1.4 i dont mind :P15:21
MartijnVdSyou might have to perform some tricks to keep the custom version installed through upgrades15:23
Koralliswhy is it such a pain just because i have more than 4gb ram i need a 64 bit.15:23
MartijnVdS(and undo that trick when you later on upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu)15:24
MartijnVdSnah, 64-bit is better all-round :)15:24
Korallisul be here to talk me through it . lol15:24
Korallishow long does this bloody take.15:25
Korallisquad core cpu and 12GB ram it should compile a small program like wine in just a few mins. surely15:26
MartijnVdS"small program" like wine? :)15:26
Korallisyeah it didn't look very big.15:26
MartijnVdSIt's a translation layer for Windows programs, with lots of Windows bits replaced (because otherwise the programs wouldn't work)15:26
penguin42wine is huge - also you mgiht need to set some flags for it to do a build in parallel15:27
MartijnVdSpenguin42: no idea how to do that with debuild15:27
penguin42setting DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=10    sometimes helps - but not for all packages15:27
MartijnVdShmm15:27
Korallisits a bit late now. its arleady spammin my screen with tons of junk15:27
MartijnVdSNah, that's just the commands it's executing so you don't have to do it all manually :P15:28
MartijnVdSit's telling you how nice it's being to you ;)15:28
Korallisno its just spamming me with stuff i don't understand in a launguage thats hard to read. lol15:30
penguin42Korallis: Just ignore it unless something breaks - then the last few lines of it are what helps you find out why it broke15:31

ahayzenHi .... was just scanning through askubuntu and noticed this question... http://askubuntu.com/questions/148977/decreasing-boot-time-on-ubuntu-12-04 ....they stated that they have a delay after 'firewire_core' in the startup. So i looked in my dmesg and noticed that there was a 10 second gap between 'firewire_core' starting and the next item. Is this normal? is it doing other stuff in the background and not logging? Th15:33
Korallispenguin42, i take it your a guru at this linux stuff then :)15:34
penguin42Korallis: Well, some bits more than others - I've been using it for about 18 years now, but stuff changes so some bits I don't know as well15:38
Korallis18 years... lol i was just about mastering DOS and windows 98SE back then15:39
Korallisor 9515:39
Korallisyeah windows 95 and Dos command line lol15:40
penguin42yeh got my 1st Linux box in '9415:40
Korallisat 10 years old15:40
Korallisi wish to god id of known about linux at 10. id of learned so much more than i did messing around in a dos prompt window lol15:40
dogmatic69ahayzen: it did not bother you till you read that? :P15:41
dogmatic69If you want a faster boot, buy SSD15:41
ahayzenwell the boot performance isn't really that bad15:42
dogmatic69I am running a Q6600 with SSD and I am using apps within 30 seconds15:42
ahayzeni was just wondering why there is a massive gap...15:42
penguin42dogmatic69: Well, you've got to be careful - it's sometimes worth working out why boot times are slow, they can be simple easy to fix stuff once you know they are there15:42
penguin42boot/start15:43
ahayzenwell i'm on a Duo core without a SSD and i boot in ~20 secs to lighdm15:43
ahayzenback to my question (and someone else's on askubuntu) why is there such a gap in dmesg?15:44
penguin42ahayzen: it's not necessarily the firewire - it could be the ethernet or something else it's waiting for; you could try using bootchart to see what's going on during that time15:46
jacobwgerman is difficult15:46
penguin42jacobw: That's what google translate is for15:46
Korallispenguin42, aprox how long is dkpg gunna take to sort this wine out..15:46
jacobwunfortunately, i need actually speak to people in german15:47
penguin42Korallis: I can't remember since last time I did it - it was a while ago, it's quite a slow build for wine, it's a horrible package15:47
penguin42jacobw: Really? All the Germans I've dealt with know English15:47
Korallisi just wanna play wow at a decent frame rate  :\15:47
jacobwich brauchen besiedeln spreche15:48
jacobwsomething :|15:48
jacobwyes, somebody told me once that most germans speak english15:48
penguin42Korallis: If it's such a common one I'm surprised there isn't a PPA for it15:48
jacobwthis is not true15:48
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
penguin42jacobw: Perhaps it's just the ones I work with15:48
Korallisim not sure about the whole ppa thing i was just trying to follow a guide.15:49
Koralliswere something went wrong.15:49
jacobwpeople who've self selected to work with english speakers?15:49
jacobw:)15:49
Korallishttp://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11677311&postcount=1215:49
penguin42Korallis: PPAs are where someone makes the patches and throws it to a system at Ubuntu that builds it all for you and spits out a set of packages you can easily add15:49
Korallisahh the guide had a ppa.15:50
Korallisbut had to sort of download some source then patch it then make it.15:51
Korallisbut it failed with needed 32 bit libs then someone said do a dkpg thing or something. lol15:51
penguin42Korallis: If I was trying to build my first package I wouldn't use wine as the starting point - it's horrible!15:51
Korallisyeah but unfortunatly its something i need15:52
jacobwdpkg-build15:52
* jacobw would not start with wine either15:53
Korallisits taking ages...15:53
jacobwwhat problem brought you to this point?15:54
Korallisfollowing the guide.15:54
Korallisthen it said it can't make it cus it needed 32 bit lib files or something.15:54
Korallisso someone told me to do dkpg-debuild or something like that.15:55
jacobwi think patching and compiling wine is not a solution for most probable problems15:55
Korallisall the patch does is lets wow read multi core cpu's appartently.15:56
jacobwi see15:56
penguin42Korallis: I think it might be worth you try the wine1.5 version out of that ppa - it's newer than that forum post and if you're really lucky (*) then it might already be fixed in that    (* although given that you're rebuilding wine that's not a good sign of luck)15:59
jacobware you at the 'make' stage?15:59
Korallisyeah jacobw it just started15:59
Korallisil test this 1st and f that dont work il try wine 1.516:00
jacobwtry wine1.5 first16:00
Koralliscan i even do that while this build thing is doing what its doing?16:01
jacobwyeah16:01
Korallisoh it finished.16:02
Korallisso how do i do this wine 1.5 thing?16:02
penguin42if you've got that wine ppa in then just installing the wine1.5 package might do it16:04
jacobwsudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa16:04
jacobwsudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade16:04
jacobwwine --version16:05
jacobwubuntu should not include 'add-apt-respository' and 'apt-add-repository', it's just confusing :(16:06
Korallisdoing the above pulled in wine 1.416:07

Korallisfixme:process:GetLogicalProcessorInformation (0x53ae340,0x53ae940): stub would really help16:24
penguin42are you sure that's really you're problem?  But that sounds like a bit of the innards of wine16:25
Korallisyeah im guessin thats it.16:26
Korallisas that would indicate it cant tell its a multi core cpu16:26
penguin42best ask on one of the wine lists then16:26
penguin42Korallis:  possible, but it might be only about telling it's hyperthreaded16:27
Korallispenguin42, didn't think about that.16:28
KorallisLMFAO16:28
Korallisi love google16:28
KorallisSince you need a 64bit program to access multiple cores <<<<16:28
MartijnVdSyou don't16:28
Korallis now im litterly laughing16:28
penguin42why?!16:28
KorallisMartijnVdS, thats the point.16:29
MartijnVdSKorallis: uhr, no16:29
KorallisMartijnVdS, yes lol the fact that that statement is very not true is the point.16:29
MartijnVdSthe point is faster access to more memory :)16:29
Korallishense the reason i put LoL 1st.16:29
MartijnVdSand some calculations on huge numbers16:29
MartijnVdSah ok16:29
Korallis64bit is purely memory based as far as i am aware.16:30
MartijnVdSKorallis: 64-bit maths too (CPU instruction set)16:30
Korallis:O wine crashed.16:33
shaunoI kinda wonder if 64bit would have any speed advantages routing ipv616:33
MartijnVdSshauno: possibly.. time for science!16:35
shaunoit seems a bit theoretical, but I'd imagine comparing a /48 against a given bitmask would take a lot less instructions if they fit in one register each16:35
MartijnVdS"Even though at the time the IPv6 specifications were written 64-bit CPUs were rare, the IPv6 designers elected to optimize the IPv6 header for 64-bit processing. "16:36
MartijnVdSaccording to Cisco16:36
shaunosweet.  so I'm not crazy16:36
MartijnVdSshauno: that's not implied by this :P16:37
MartijnVdSyou could still be crazy16:37
penguin42shauno: Well, a more interesting question is whether you can use 128bit vector ops16:37
shaunoI'd hope you wouldn't need them, unless people really were evil enough to assign /128's16:38
MartijnVdSCurrent recommendation is somewhere between /48 and /60 I think?16:39
MartijnVdSmy employer/isp gives customers /48s16:39
penguin42shauno: If you were working with 128 bit registers perhaps it wouldn't matter16:39
MartijnVdS(all new customers -- current customers have to enable it manually for now.. but we'll be fixing that soon!)16:39
MartijnVdSSee us enable IPv6 for FttH customers: http://www.ams-ix.net/cgi-bin/stats/sflow_grapher?type=ipv6&scale=normal&counter=bps&interval=weekly16:41
MartijnVdS(that's mostly us -- on "IPv6 day")16:41
brobostigon:)16:41
shaunochorus's answer was less optimistic.  they assure me they're heard of ipv6, basically16:41
penguin42MartijnVdS: What % of the traffic from users is ending up on IPv6 ?16:41
MartijnVdSpenguin42: no idea actually :)16:41
penguin42shauno: That's more than Demon's answer16:41
MartijnVdSpenguin42: but Google, Youtube, Facebook16:42
penguin42shauno: 'IPv6' what's that?16:42
MartijnVdSpenguin42: at least16:42
gebbioneis there anything i can use to mount .cue .bin files?16:42

bigcalmHow does ones get the UDID of an iPhone/iPod/iPad without having Windows or Mac?16:49
MartijnVdSUDID?16:49
MartijnVdSbigcalm: there are some "idevice" tools16:49
bigcalmUnique Device ID, I assume16:49
MartijnVdSlibimobiledevice-utils ?16:50
MartijnVdS/usr/share/man/man1/idevice_id.1.gz16:50
MartijnVdSlooks like that would do it :)16:50
bigcalmPlugging this iPad into my machine causes something to do with iPhone to crash in Ubuntu :D16:50
MartijnVdSthey look mostly the same to Ubuntu :)16:51
bigcalmMaybe I'll reboot to GameOS so that I can play some Portal 2. While I'm there, use iTunes to get the UDID16:52
MartijnVdSbigcalm: idevice_id doesn't work?16:56
bigcalmMartijnVdS: didn't stop to check. I'm in GameOS now any way :)17:02
popeybigcalm: there's apps you can install to do it17:13
popeyone is called UDID+ ☺17:13
popey(an iOS app on the device itself)17:13
MartijnVdSis that allowed by apple now?17:14
MartijnVdSI thought they disabled access to it from ios apps17:14
* popey shrugs17:17
popeyi have one on mine17:17
* MartijnVdS watches the F117:20
MartijnVdSThis one isn't on BBC :(17:20
bigcalmpopey: bought an iPad2. I don't think I've ever felt so indifferent about a new toy17:21
MartijnVdS♥ Android tablet17:21
bigcalmYeah, I enjoy using my Xoom :)17:21

MartijnVdSthat still exists?117:22
bigcalmThat's still a thing?17:22
bigcalmHeh17:22
s-foxit is built into gwibber, yes.17:22
MartijnVdSbigcalm: ^517:22
popeyyou're holding it wrong17:22
bigcalmpopey: should I have bought iHappyness as well?17:23
MartijnVdSbigcalm: iKoolaid17:23
MartijnVdSbigcalm: (but that ran out after Steve Jobs died)17:24

jacobwf1 > apple17:58
MartijnVdSNo BBC coverage :(18:01
diddledanBBC has it at 10:3018:01
MartijnVdSyeah, "highlights"18:01
* MartijnVdS watches the Dutch coverage instead18:01
diddledanyeah, sucks18:01
* jacobw is watching rtl hd18:04
MartijnVdSjacobw: RTL7 HD18:05
jacobwthat's right18:05
MartijnVdSyou're in the Nether Lands?18:05
* jacobw is in bavaria18:06
MartijnVdS"Almost" then :)18:06
jacobwactually further from the netherlands than london18:07
MartijnVdSYes.. hmm18:08
MartijnVdSI was never a geography whiz :)18:08
jacobwi'm not a geography whiz, this week i learnt that poland is not the left of germany, but to the right :)18:09
MartijnVdSjacobw: yes, that's the Netherlands 8-)18:09
jacobwi think saying left and right confirms my lack of geographical knowledge :p18:09
MartijnVdSjacobw: I always have to think which one is which (left/right)18:10
diddledanlooking at germany from England it's to the left :-p18:10
jacobwyeah, that's kind of the problem18:10
jacobwn/e/s/w18:10
diddledannever eat shredded wheat18:10
justsono ears sees well18:11
shaunohaven't been paying attention; how much longer does this football stuff last?18:11
jacobwonce i start thinking about lattitude and longitude and the surface of a sphere it all makes sense18:12
diddledanit's only just started afaik18:12
diddledan-_-18:12
jacobwbut the boundaries between countries and the names of oceans are arbitrary18:12
shaunoalso, o/ dan.  Although I guess finding you here isn't much of a coincidence :p18:12
diddledanlatitudes and longitudes make my brian hurt18:12
diddledano/ shauno18:13
jacobwi like math18:13
MartijnVdSequator = 0 (+90 = pole, -90 = pole), greenwich = 0 (-180 pacific via US, +180 pacific via EUrope/Asia)18:13
MartijnVdSit's not hard :)18:13
jacobw'longitude' is an interesting book written by 'dara sobel'18:15
jacobwsimilar to 'fermat's last theorem' by 'simon singh'18:15
shaunoyou have an odd number of quote marks.  that hurts my brain.18:16
diddledanlol18:16

Korallisdd if=/home/lee/tester.iso of=/dev/sdb18:33
Korallisoh ffs wrong window. sorry18:33
_2E0BXQlol18:34
_2E0BXQhighlighted me though >.>18:34
Koralliswhy would that highlight you?18:34
Korallisthat makes no sense at all lol18:34
diddledanprobably the use of /dev/sdb - folk are weird round these parts18:35
Korallisstrange..18:35
diddledanI'm going to guarantee it isn't anything to do with the name "lee"18:36
Korallislol18:36
_2E0BXQ>.>18:36
Korallisso who does it flag if do /dev/sda18:36
Korallis:P18:36
* _2E0BXQ happens to be a Lee :o18:36
diddledan:-p18:36
* Korallis is also a lee obviously ^^18:36
_2E0BXQbut yes, actually is due to /dev/18:37
_2E0BXQnamely because I also go by /dev/null18:37
Korallisahhhh18:37
diddledanlol18:37
Korallisnetworking fails in windows.18:37
_2E0BXQKorallis: you're also a Lee who is a BT customer too :P18:37
KorallisMoving files across a network via 2 ethernets no longer than 5 meters and both wired into a bt home hub and yet the transfer rate s only 5.9mb/s :\18:38
Korallis_2E0BXQ, lol yup were abouts you from?18:38
_2E0BXQSouthampton, Hampshire18:38
_2E0BXQyou?18:38
KorallisBirmingham atm18:39
_2E0BXQah, cool18:39
Korallisnot really .. trust me on that one.18:39
Korallisthis city is a shit hole.18:39
_2E0BXQI've only ever been through18:39
diddledanI'm from the best place ever - amazingstoke18:39
_2E0BXQdiddledan: a bit north of me then :P18:39
diddledanyups :-D18:39
Korallisim actually from Manchester which is the best place ever.18:39
_2E0BXQKorallis: I love Manchester :P18:39
Korallisso do i.18:39
Korallisi miss it lol18:40
_2E0BXQI have a fair few friends up there18:40
penguin42Korallis: Agreed - well, when it doesn't rain on us18:40
_2E0BXQone who happens to be from Wolves18:40
diddledanyeah, but the name doesn't work as amazingchester18:40
Korallislol trie diddledan18:40
penguin42mind you, I got soaked in Brum the other day18:40
Korallistrue*18:40
Korallispenguin42, you were in brum the other day?18:41
diddledanalthough chester itself would work as amazingchester18:41
_2E0BXQindeed18:41
penguin42Korallis: about a week and a half ago - it did a HUGE down pour, mostly onto me about 5pm18:41
Korallispenguin42, yeah i remember that i was Drenched when i walked through the door hah.18:41
diddledanbah, 12.04 broke vmware's vmnet compiler18:42
Korallisi need to switch the nics in the 2 pc's for 100/1000's and do a direct crossover connection, this transfer rate is stupidly slow i can write to usb faster ....18:42
Korallisim slowley falling out with ubuntu 12.0418:43
_2E0BXQI get about 500kb/s across my gigabit network sections18:43
_2E0BXQI used to get more tranfer rate across my old sound-card IP network :/18:44
_2E0BXQer transfer18:44
Korallisim on 6600kb/s atm which is way to slow..18:44
Korallismight use Cat 6 cables :)18:44
_2E0BXQSTP or UTP?18:44
Korallisnot sure18:45
penguin42Korallis: Very unlikely to be STP/UTP/CAT5/6 issues unless you've got like 100m cable18:45
diddledanI really need to replace some of my 12year-old cat5 cables18:45
Korallisits not an issue just rather slow transfer rate. im used to 20MB/s - 40MB/s transfer rates at work lol18:46
Korallis6.9MB/s is just slow..18:46
Korallisspecialy for 16gig of stuff18:46
penguin42Korallis: Are the links up at 100mbps or gig?18:47
Korallisat work. or home home there standard 100mbps18:47
penguin42and are you saying you're getting 6Mbit/s or 6MByte ?18:47
penguin42(and what are you using to copy)18:48
Korallispenguin42, its fine. its standard speed for a local connection 6800kb/s ie. close to 10mb18:48
Korallisim just used to alot faster ::-)18:48
* penguin42 expects to be able to flatten his network connection between his machines18:49
_2E0BXQpenguin42: I only use STP in my network because I do a lot of RF work, and it just adds an extra layer of shielding to keep the RF out of the networking side of things18:49
s-foxIreland are already 1-0 down :/18:51
Korallisthink im gunna steal some cat6 cables a switch / router and 2 x 100/1000 cards from work ::-)18:51
penguin42_2E0BXQ: Oh yeh I guessed from you're nick18:51
penguin42your18:51

gebbionehow do you import a config to nact?19:34
jacobwnact?19:34
gebbionenautilus configuration list19:34
brobostigonis there a way, or in a more automated way, like with wordpress, to upgrade drupal core.?21:16
diddledanbrobostigon, there's aegir and drush, but aegir takes over the entire server21:27
brobostigondiddledan: ah, let me lok them up, thank you.21:27
diddledandrush is the "drupal shell"21:28
brobostigoninteresting idea.21:29
brobostigon!info drush lucid21:33
lubotu3drush (source: drush): command line shell and Unix scripting interface for Drupal. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0-6 (lucid), package size 78 kB, installed size 420 kB21:33
brobostigondiddledan: drush looks interesting.21:41
diddledanI really should look at drupal again - I'm using a slew of commercial plugins on wordpress atm21:43
directhexwordpress is just so user-friendly though21:43
diddledanindeed21:43
diddledandrupal is awesomely configurable in contrast21:45
