jacobw | morning | 06:40 |
christel | morning jacobw \o, TheOpenSourcerer \o | 06:45 |
TheOpenSourcerer | morning all | 06:49 |
brobostigon | good morning everyone. | 06:59 |
diplo | Morning all | 07:06 |
brobostigon | morning diplo | 07:07 |
diplo | How are you this fine morning brobostigon ? | 07:08 |
diplo | Cycled in this morning \o/ | 07:08 |
brobostigon | diplo: not so hot, still unwell, but alot to do today, so pain killers and perservierence. and you? | 07:09 |
diplo | Just a little tired from the cycle, not far but the heat is already a killer out there | 07:10 |
brobostigon | yes. | 07:10 |
TheOpenSourcerer | purlese don't complain about it being hot & sunny. | 07:11 |
TheOpenSourcerer | We don't want to go back to three months of rain now do we? | 07:11 |
brobostigon | i will complain TheOpenSourcerer, as it wreacks my eczema. | 07:11 |
TheOpenSourcerer | Isn't the humidity good for it? | 07:11 |
brobostigon | it certains stops it from drying out, yes, but not excessivly like this, because then i sweat, and it becomes very irritated. | 07:12 |
diplo | TheOpenSourcerer: Not complaining, just saying | 07:15 |
diplo | I love this weather | 07:15 |
brobostigon | also, when there is heat like this, my skin tends get more infection. | 07:15 |
diplo | Apart from watching The Dark Knight last night in cinema with no aircon!!!! | 07:15 |
christel | i for one am very much welcoming the weather! | 07:17 |
christel | my tomato plants are most happy \o/ | 07:18 |
MartijnVdS | Tomato plants are carnivorous | 07:18 |
MartijnVdS | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wildlife/6727709/Tomatoes-can-eat-insects.html | 07:18 |
christel | ! | 07:18 |
TheOpenSourcerer | Even my chilli plants have started to grow... | 07:18 |
TheOpenSourcerer | :-D | 07:19 |
christel | :D | 07:19 |
MartijnVdS | and it's not even chilly! | 07:19 |
diplo | christel: Beer and sunbathing the job for today again ? | 07:22 |
christel | diplo: ah i wish! | 07:22 |
christel | i think i have to do some Real Work today :( | 07:22 |
diplo | heh | 07:22 |
diplo | Main reason I've cycled today is to go out for a huge lunch, cycle 4-5 miles along canal, have lunch and cycle back | 07:22 |
christel | :D | 07:22 |
diplo | Maybe a pint or two | 07:23 |
christel | i approve of this plan! | 07:23 |
diplo | I've just remembered one flaw in my plan :/ | 07:23 |
christel | oh no :( | 07:23 |
diplo | I need to pick my dad up later to take him to get his car from the garage, not sure he'd like my handlebars :D | 07:23 |
christel | hahaha | 07:23 |
christel | <3 | 07:23 |
christel | "oops" | 07:24 |
* directhex moos | 07:24 | |
diplo | Blimey, your keen directhex, saw you online at the 4am mark ? | 07:25 |
diplo | Or was that a wakeup call from the young one ? | 07:25 |
christel | i might mow the lawn before i start work | 07:25 |
* diplo really needs his done. | 07:27 | |
diplo | May force myself to stay at home tonight just to do it. | 07:27 |
christel | it is one of my least favourite things to do! | 07:28 |
diplo | And mine! | 07:28 |
christel | but if i leave it any longer i suspect i'd need a scythe :) | 07:28 |
diplo | Also need to trim the bushy things | 07:28 |
christel | ah i got a Man out to trim my hedge and weed my beds the other week.. (because i can't tell the difference between weeds and Good Plants) | 07:28 |
MartijnVdS | Can anyone confirm this one? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/1028772 | 07:31 |
lubotu3 | Ubuntu bug 1028772 in totem (Ubuntu) "Repeatedly hiding/showing the controls (Ctrl+H) shrinks the video display size" [Undecided,New] | 07:31 |
* TheOpenSourcerer strimmed and mowed on Saturday :-) Front garden now looks something like this: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/instantupload/5755403322243260578 | 07:31 | |
MartijnVdS | Repeatedly pressing Ctrl+H while watching a video with totem shrinks the video | 07:31 |
christel | TheOpenSourcerer: your garden looks most tidy! | 07:33 |
christel | :) | 07:33 |
MartijnVdS | TheOpenSourcerer: that links to my instantupload pics? | 07:34 |
MartijnVdS | or maybe I'm not in the right circles :) | 07:34 |
AlanBell | morning all | 07:34 |
ali1234 | no it links to my instant upload pics etc | 07:34 |
christel | MartijnVdS: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-wp_yr2_zaD8/T-OI2ACgZuI/AAAAAAAACy8/dTF_kc8HyUo/w497-h373/20120618_080744.jpg try that one | 07:34 |
MartijnVdS | ooh very tidy | 07:35 |
christel | mm i am ever so slightly envious | 07:40 |
christel | my garden is full of TOYS | 07:40 |
christel | and tall grass... | 07:40 |
=== Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
diplo | MartijnVdS: I had a similar issue, it was because google had logged me out. | 07:49 |
diplo | Logged in, link worked fine | 07:49 |
* directhex moos again | 07:50 | |
MartijnVdS | diplo: I'm still logged in -- I get _my_ private "instant upload" page | 07:52 |
diplo | yeah, that's odd :/ | 07:54 |

czajkowski | aloha | 08:01 |
TheOpenSourcerer | Potentially worrying development http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-inks-patent-deal-with-service-provider-using-linux-servers-7000001498/ Be nice to know what the background to this is? What are the patents? Why did Amdocs roll over and take it like that? | 08:01 |
directhex | TheOpenSourcerer, naming patents destroys their power | 08:01 |
directhex | TheOpenSourcerer, the aim is to keep things vague | 08:01 |
TheOpenSourcerer | I agree, but presumably Amdocs didn't just go "Oh we do infringe some of your patents? Sorry. How much do you want then?" | 08:02 |
TheOpenSourcerer | B&N Argued the toss and ended up getting money from MS! | 08:03 |
directhex | TheOpenSourcerer, "you could pay patent insurance for £X, or we could tell you which patents in the court filings for 176 x £X, your call" | 08:03 |
bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 08:05 |
christel | morning bigcalm :) | 08:05 |
bigcalm | christel: being greeted by you is a good way to start the day | 08:06 |
christel | haha | 08:06 |
christel | <3 | 08:06 |
* AlanBell is off to the Olympics Opening Ceremony later | 08:07 | |
jacobw | directhex: patents are like Voldemort? | 08:07 |
bigcalm | AlanBell: good luck! | 08:08 |
bigcalm | Something keeps killing mysqld on my bytemark server. But I can't work out what. Nothing in mysql's logs or syslog | 08:09 |
bigcalm | Anybody with other ideas? | 08:09 |
DJones | AlanBell: I thought it was Friday | 08:09 |
directhex | jacobw, yes. worse than that, if you violate a patent unknowingly the penalty legally is X, if you check to see whether you violate any patents first and decide "no" or "yes but i don't care" (there's no legal difference between those two) then it's much higher than X. it's legally safer not to know whether you violate patents | 08:09 |
AlanBell | DJones: ah, but special people get to go today | 08:09 |
TheOpenSourcerer | jacobw: Software Patents approved in the USA are mostly stupid. Patents in general are not a bad idea, as long as they really do protect "Inventions" | 08:09 |
DJones | Heh | 08:09 |
DJones | AlanBell: So you were the person G4S employed for security | 08:10 |
jacobw | directhex: /o\ | 08:10 |
bigcalm | Hehe | 08:10 |
christel | haha | 08:10 |
directhex | TheOpenSourcerer, patents are a limited government-granted monopoly. like copyrights, the terms should only be a couple of years in this millennium, not getting longer | 08:11 |
brobostigon | i think headwear would be a good idea today. | 08:12 |
diplo | bigcalm: Issue with resources is the only thing I'd have a guess at ? | 08:13 |
TheOpenSourcerer | Pharmaceutical Co.s who spend billions and tens of years developing new drugs are the kind of area where patents are relevant. Not for some blokes idea to make a tablet with rounded corners. | 08:13 |
bigcalm | diplo: 31GB of space available | 08:14 |
diplo | I meant mem/cpu | 08:14 |
popey | morning | 08:14 |
TheOpenSourcerer | lo popey | 08:14 |
christel | i hate patents, with a passion | 08:14 |
christel | (though this might be because the ones i come across are ridiculously complicated) | 08:14 |
* popey might have lunch in the park in farnham today | 08:15 | |
bigcalm | diplo: mysqld is currently taking 14% of the system's memory, but that's because I've just started it back up | 08:15 |
bigcalm | Morning popey! | 08:15 |
popey | TheOpenSourcerer, there's still wifi on the bandstand isnt there? | 08:15 |
MartijnVdS | If not, there's always 3G | 08:15 |
* TheOpenSourcerer wonders if there is not a suitable park in Farnborough for popey | 08:15 | |
popey | nah, its just that the kids are going there | 08:15 |
popey | thought I'd go along | 08:16 |
TheOpenSourcerer | popey: I have no idea. Is there? | 08:16 |
popey | http://www.farnham.gov.uk/life/news/article/325.html | 08:16 |
diplo | bigcalm: Looked into whether mysql can log it's processes more verbosely ? | 08:16 |
bigcalm | diplo: server isn't under any real load: 0.02, 0.06, 0.06 | 08:16 |
diplo | Just having a quick google now | 08:16 |
TheOpenSourcerer | Nice. TY popey | 08:17 |
TheOpenSourcerer | I will remember that. | 08:17 |
bigcalm | diplo: thing is I never know when it actually dies. It's one of my parents' friends that emails me when their site stops working | 08:17 |
christel | oh pretty neat, i didn't know that | 08:17 |
popey | thats one of the reasons we had the geeknic around it at oggcamp | 08:17 |
diplo | nagios and monitor it? | 08:17 |
* bigcalm goes to camp in Farnham | 08:17 | |
christel | hehe | 08:18 |
bigcalm | diplo: I guess so. Never used nagios before though :) | 08:18 |
bigcalm | popey: I had no idea about the free wifi for the geeknick. Needs more publicising | 08:19 |
AlanBell | popey: yes, the free wifi in gostrey meadow works great | 08:20 |
jacobw | bigcalm: does upstart restart the process? | 08:24 |
bigcalm | jacobw: it's meant to I guess | 08:25 |
christel | bah today appears to be one of those days where my mug is leaking.. it keeps being empty :( | 08:28 |
directhex | Mark Zuckerberg, the man who some believe has done more to erode privacy than anyone else, has been awarded his first ever patent … for privacy. Patent #8,225,376 limits what users reveal online by implementing a privacy policy on their status updates and profile information. | 08:32 |
directhex | \o/ | 08:32 |
* daubers wonders if he can patent a method of protecting the revenue stream for commonly implimented technologies | 08:33 | |
jacobw | hehe | 08:36 |
diplo | bigcalm: Sorry was on the phone | 08:42 |
diplo | Can give you a hand if you want to set it up | 08:42 |
bigcalm | Wow, it doesn't look simple to setup :) | 08:45 |
diplo | It's actually quite simple tbh | 08:45 |
diplo | It's just a pain for the first time to look at it :) | 08:45 |
bigcalm | Ok :) | 08:45 |
* bigcalm stops googling for howtos | 08:46 | |
diplo | basically on initial install you will have a localhost.cfg in /etc/nagios/objects ( I think ) | 08:47 |
diplo | and nagios.cfg in /etc/nagios | 08:47 |
diplo | So copy localhost and call it mysql-mums.cfg or something | 08:47 |
freckle | bigcalm: If you are going to start using Nagios then nagstamon is a great little app fpr the desktop | 08:47 |
diplo | then edit nagios.cfg to load the new cfg | 08:47 |
bigcalm | freckle: this is for a VPS | 08:47 |
diplo | And restart nagios | 08:48 |
diplo | that's about as simple as it needs to be, you can make it a lot more involved :) | 08:48 |
freckle | bigcalm: yes, it sits on your desktop and alerts you when there is an issue reported by your nagios | 08:48 |
bigcalm | I see | 08:48 |
BigRedS | bigcalm: there's also the Nagios firefox plugin | 08:48 |
BigRedS | I used nagstamon for a bit but it was much more prone to random behaviour than the plugin | 08:49 |
diplo | Either install nagios nrpe or use check_by_ssh | 08:49 |
bigcalm | nagios3 from the repositories? | 08:49 |
BigRedS | also, anag on android seems brilliant | 08:49 |
diplo | Yep bigcalm | 08:49 |
bigcalm | Ta | 08:49 |
diplo | sh-3.2$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H 192.168.1.16 -landy -C uptime | 08:49 |
diplo | heh | 08:49 |
* diplo is actually playing atm | 08:50 | |
freckle | never had an issue with nagstamon | 08:50 |
freckle | there is a plugin for mysql in nagios.. use it to check status of replication | 08:50 |
bigcalm | It's just installed samba :| | 08:51 |
freckle | bigcalm: better to complile from source for that very reason | 08:52 |
bigcalm | Too late :D | 08:52 |
diplo | Nooooo don't compile from source! | 08:52 |
diplo | I really don't understand why people still do, not worth the hassle | 08:53 |
freckle | diplo: it's callled freedom :) | 08:53 |
diplo | Thinking of all the services i monitor and all the servers i monitor, I've never bothered with mysql.. guess we haven't had any issues | 08:54 |
diplo | Yeah, also a PITA :) | 08:54 |
freckle | diplo: not for me | 08:54 |
popey | bigcalm, I'd recommend OpsView over nagios | 08:55 |
freckle | when you have a bunch of mysql with 2 way replication and queries per second in the high 100's you want to monitor | 08:55 |
diplo | Not compiled anything for everyday use since Qmail for mail server many years ago | 08:55 |
diplo | yeah that's a different usercase i guess | 08:56 |
diplo | I would think about it then as well, but generally I'd advise most people to install from repos for stuff like this. | 08:56 |
* bigcalm grumbles at computers | 08:56 | |
bigcalm | popey: reasons? | 08:57 |
popey | easier to configure | 08:57 |
popey | its based on nagios | 08:57 |
freckle | you could write your own monitoring system like we did at work with SNMP ;) | 08:58 |
diplo | Also Icinga, Web2.0 style.. also based on nagios | 08:58 |
diplo | That's what we used to do before Nagios and something beginning with C that I've forgotten | 08:59 |
diplo | perl scripts and snmp modules | 08:59 |
diplo | Centreon | 09:00 |
BigRedS | "perl scripts and snmp modules" roughly describes Nagios :) | 09:01 |
diplo | heh, pretty much yeah.. not sure whether we hadn't heard of it or what before | 09:02 |
JamesTait | Good morning all! :) | 09:02 |
diplo | I suggested Nagios after seeing a supplier and them offering us WhatsUp Gold ? Maybe for like 20k | 09:02 |
christel | GOOD MORNING JamesTait \o/ | 09:04 |
oimon | maclaren buggy company won't send me a spare part (a screw) to fix my buggy. the consequence is that i buy a dodgy one off ebay - what's worse? | 09:05 |
JamesTait | christel: o/ | 09:06 |
gord | the buggy has a bug? | 09:06 |
oimon | yes :( | 09:06 |
christel | :( | 09:07 |
diplo | Gaffer tape oimon, it fixes all! | 09:07 |
oimon | they say i have to get it fixed by a repair centre. it's a flipping screw! | 09:07 |
christel | haha | 09:07 |
oimon | how can i get to the repair centre without a working buggy | 09:07 |
diplo | My friends 58 plate S-Max's bumper is held together with it at the moment whilst our MD decides how he wants to procede, now been two months | 09:08 |
diplo | :D | 09:08 |
nja | Hello | 09:09 |
* bigcalm gives up and gets on with work | 09:09 | |
* nja wonders if people actually speak in this IRC | 09:09 | |
diplo | nah we are all bots here | 09:10 |
diplo | Hi nja | 09:10 |
diplo | :) | 09:10 |
* BigRedS types | 09:10 | |
christel | irc is for being quiet ;) | 09:10 |
BigRedS | actually, of late, that is a lie | 09:10 |
BigRedS | but sometimes I type | 09:10 |
diplo | Most of are at work I guess, so responses vary | 09:10 |
nja | So, what are we all doing? | 09:10 |
diplo | Working.... sorta kinda like :) | 09:10 |
nja | suuuuure... "Working" | 09:11 |
christel | hehe | 09:12 |
christel | counting down till lunch time! | 09:13 |
christel | ;) | 09:13 |
diplo | Well I have about 8 terminals open, it *looks* like I'm working at least + typing into a console for IRC makes it all the more believable | 09:13 |
christel | ;) | 09:13 |
diplo | 4 of those terminals are for my own machines doesn't come into it :D | 09:14 |
nja | So, what happens in Ubuntu UK? | 09:14 |
christel | sometimes we talk about ubuntu, sometimes we talk about beer, sometimes we drink beer and talk about ubuntu and sometimes we make fun of bigcalm | 09:15 |
* christel nods | 09:15 | |
jacobw | diplo: I have to work with WhatsUp Gold | 09:15 |
nja | @christel sound, erm fun... | 09:15 |
bigcalm | christel: don't you mean bigclam? | 09:15 |
christel | bigcalm ;) | 09:16 |
bigcalm | I should put that on highlight really | 09:16 |
bigcalm | Just for you, christel :P | 09:16 |
christel | yes! | 09:16 |
christel | it is almost christmas, why hasn't AlanBell arranged a christmas do yet! | 09:16 |
bigcalm | Very good question | 09:16 |
nja | Does Ubuntu UK do any actual IRL meets, or is it all IRC? | 09:17 |
gord | don't say it is almost christmas... it just was christmas | 09:17 |
bigcalm | nja: re recently went on the RAT and drank lots of ale | 09:17 |
* jacobw processes these statements | 09:17 | |
bigcalm | About 12 of us in our group | 09:17 |
christel | nja: we do stuff irl yes -- we always do stuff when its release day and we have random social gatherings (geeknics, pub visits, meals etc) | 09:17 |
christel | this saturday there's an ubuntu-uk bbq in farnham (surrey) | 09:18 |
christel | :) | 09:18 |
nja | :D | 09:18 |
jacobw | nja: There's also a mailing list and a podcast | 09:18 |
bigcalm | I wonder if there should be a mini-event in September... | 09:18 |
nja | What happens in the Aylesbury branch, because that's the only one I can get to. | 09:18 |
directhex | sadly aylesbury is aylesbury | 09:19 |
christel | i'm not sure whether there are (m)any social events in bucks tbh -- though i am sure we could do a happy hour there! | 09:19 |
nja | hmm. OK | 09:19 |
bigcalm | !opsview | 09:20 |
bigcalm | !info opsview | 09:20 |
lubotu3 | Package opsview does not exist in precise | 09:20 |
bigcalm | :( | 09:20 |
nja | How do I see what events are coming up? | 09:21 |
bigcalm | nja: join the mailing list is one option :) | 09:21 |
christel | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ will usually also list them | 09:21 |
bigcalm | nja: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-uk is another option | 09:21 |
nja | Ah, that looks legit. | 09:21 |
bigcalm | More specifically: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-uk/events | 09:22 |
bigcalm | Though not all events get posted there for some reason :| | 09:22 |
AlanBell | anyone can post stuff there | 09:22 |
AlanBell | who is a member of the launchpad team | 09:22 |
bigcalm | Remember that nobody is paid to do this :D | 09:23 |
nja | Where is this Launchpad team and how hard is it to join? | 09:23 |
christel | nja: the url bigcalm posted, you just need to create a launchpad account :) | 09:24 |
nja | @christel Wouldn't it be on the launchpad website | 09:25 |
nja | @christel Wouldn't it be on the launchpad website? | 09:25 |
nja | Found it! | 09:25 |
bigcalm | Create a launchpad account and then you can join ubuntu teams | 09:25 |
bigcalm | The magic of the Single Sign On :D | 09:25 |
nja | I already have a launchpad account, so that's fine. | 09:26 |
MartijnVdS | Shingle Shine On | 09:26 |
nja | Hmm, one that LastPass seems to have the wrong password for. Dammit. | 09:26 |
bigcalm | MartijnVdS: channelling Sean Connery? | 09:26 |
nja | OooOo iCal feed. | 09:27 |
nja | So, what programming languages do we do here? | 09:29 |
nja | Me: Java, PHP, HTML, JavaScript, Python, MySql, Used to do C (Kinda forgotten it...) | 09:29 |
gord | Spectrum BASIC | 09:30 |
daubers | gord: \o/ | 09:30 |
daubers | Spectrum BASIC was the king of all BASIC | 09:30 |
daubers | ANyone who thinks BBC BASIC was can take it outside for a round of fisticuffs | 09:31 |
gord | i wish my keyboard was setup like the spectrum, so you could press a key and it would put in the entire command | 09:31 |
MartijnVdS | GW-BASIC! | 09:31 |
nja | Only Britain... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2178173/Train-drivers-ordered-stop-Olympic-Park-decrepit-overhead-cables-installed-1950s-cope-heat.html | 09:32 |
nja | Mainly the last bit | 09:32 |
nja | Twenty Twelve need to do another series. | 09:34 |
freckle | nja: I really think that. | 09:35 |
Twinkletoes | Good morning :) | 09:36 |
nja | Back to Ubuntu stuffs: "You are here because Launchpad uses the Launchpad Login Service." | 09:37 |
nja | No kidding | 09:37 |
Twinkletoes | Creating public/private key pair. How does ssh know what file name to use for the private key? | 09:37 |
directhex | Twinkletoes, id_rsa.pub for pubkey, id_rsa for private | 09:38 |
Twinkletoes | directhex: Yeah... thank you... but how does ssh know that? | 09:38 |
Twinkletoes | directhex: Sorry, I've just found it... man ssh | 09:39 |
Twinkletoes | directhex: I was previously looking in man sshd_config DUH! | 09:39 |
nja | Woop! LaunchPad has now let me join Ubuntu UK! :D | 09:39 |
christel | most kind of launchpad! ; | 09:40 |
christel | ;) | 09:40 |
nja | Irony, Ubuntu UK mailing list only supports English (USA)... | 09:41 |
christel | hehe | 09:44 |
nja | bye | 09:45 |
christel | bye bye nja | 09:45 |

davmor2 | Morning all | 10:02 |
bigcalm | Morning davmor2 | 10:02 |
davmor2 | bigcalm: still with the old car :( | 10:02 |
bigcalm | Boo | 10:02 |
bigcalm | You're getting impatient about a new toy | 10:02 |
davmor2 | bigcalm: indeed, it's driving me nuts now I know the money has left my account | 10:02 |
bigcalm | Should have gone there and paid by debit card | 10:03 |
MartijnVdS | cash! | 10:03 |
christel | hehe | 10:04 |
christel | yes! in coins | 10:04 |
MartijnVdS | 2p ones | 10:04 |
directhex | not legal tender. | 10:04 |
christel | yeah! i'm with MartijnVdS | 10:04 |
* christel nods | 10:04 | |
christel | aw | 10:04 |
MartijnVdS | 2p coins aren't legal tender? | 10:04 |
directhex | 10 2p coins are legal tender | 10:05 |
directhex | 11 or more are not | 10:05 |
directhex | http://www.royalmint.com/aboutus/policies-and-guidelines/legal-tender-guidelines | 10:05 |
MartijnVdS | weird :) | 10:05 |
* bigcalm wants to see a 11p coin | 10:05 | |
bigcalm | Oh, I miss-read | 10:05 |
MartijnVdS | bigcalm: they don't HAVE to accept, but they could accept it :) | 10:05 |
diplo | directhex: I never knew that | 10:06 |
davmor2 | bigcalm: you filled in your form for tonight, and don't forget it ;) | 10:06 |
diplo | I've done it on multiple occasions ( especially when I was younger and trying to afford to smoke ) | 10:06 |
bigcalm | davmor2: I printed it off when I got Ron's email | 10:06 |
bigcalm | Dated 18th | 10:06 |
bigcalm | Now the trick is not to forget it | 10:06 |
MartijnVdS | pound coins are more fun anyway | 10:06 |
MartijnVdS | heavier ;) | 10:07 |
MartijnVdS | directhex: and they're valid for any amount :) | 10:07 |
davmor2 | bigcalm: fill it in and put it in your car now! | 10:08 |
bigcalm | davmor2: the fact that I said dated 18th indicated that I had filled it in | 10:09 |
christel | oh did it now | 10:10 |
christel | :o | 10:10 |
davmor2 | bigcalm: no it indicates that you 1. have a computer in front of you 2. have the ability to tell the date of an email 3. still doesn't indicate it is filled in :D | 10:10 |
bigcalm | Bah :P | 10:10 |
bigcalm | christel: it did in my mind | 10:10 |
christel | :P | 10:14 |
diplo | directhex: just saw your tweet about SS3 on steam, well I'm now defo interested! | 10:16 |
* diplo likes a bit of Serious Sam | 10:17 | |
directhex | i got a bit bored, 66% of the way through... but supporting games on linux is very important to me | 10:18 |
directhex | it's how i got into linux in the first place | 10:18 |
bigcalm | They did a 3rd game?! | 10:18 |
diplo | Doing* | 10:18 |
dogmatic69 | lol, I thought evolution was broken | 10:18 |
bigcalm | \o/ | 10:18 |
gord | they also remade the first two | 10:18 |
diplo | Released sometime this year | 10:18 |
gord | but the third game added iron sights so i'm not interested | 10:18 |
dogmatic69 | turns out they just finished the unity integration properly | 10:18 |
diplo | yeah bought them in *HD* gord :) | 10:18 |
bigcalm | gord: aye, I have the HD versions for both | 10:18 |
gord | don't say HD :P | 10:19 |
gord | its a pc game, i was running the originals HD | 10:19 |
diplo | heh | 10:19 |
directhex | er, 4th game | 10:19 |
directhex | serious sam the first encounter, serious sam the 2nd encounter, serious sam 2, serious sam 3 | 10:19 |
* bigcalm scratches his head | 10:20 | |
directhex | bigcalm, gta, gta2, gta3, gta:vc, gta:sa, gta4! | 10:20 |
bigcalm | directhex: good point | 10:20 |
directhex | windows 7 is windows version 6.1 :D | 10:20 |
directhex | serious sam games did traditionally get linux ports | 10:22 |
MartijnVdS | Wasn't XP 5.1? | 10:22 |
MartijnVdS | and 95 4? | 10:22 |
directhex | http://liflg.org/torrents/serious.sam.tfe_1.05beta3-english-2.run.torrent for SS:TFE installer, http://liflg.org/torrents/serious.sam.tse_1.07beta1-english-2.run.torrent for SS:TSE, http://liflg.org/torrents/serious.sam2_2.070beta2.1-multilanguage.dvd.run.torrent for SS2 | 10:23 |
directhex | MartijnVdS, correct on both counts! | 10:23 |
directhex | xp 64-bit was 5.2 though | 10:24 |
MartijnVdS | hence the tons of incompatibilities? | 10:24 |
directhex | yes. 5.2 is the server 2003 version number, so most apps checking the version would refuse to install on a "server os" | 10:24 |
* MartijnVdS has new shininess: https://plus.google.com/100189567362844794281/posts/ERNWNmFK96W | 10:24 | |
directhex | win7 was numbered 6.1 so any apps checking for vista support (6) would work | 10:25 |
MartijnVdS | There was some legal reason for a Windows version number | 10:25 |
MartijnVdS | was it NT 3.51 or 4? | 10:25 |
MartijnVdS | Something about a "3"-version of Windows and IBM | 10:25 |
nja | poor you, I'm back... | 10:26 |
directhex | scrollback doesn't suggest i should feel overly upset | 10:27 |
christel | hehe | 10:27 |
christel | welcome back nja :) | 10:28 |
MartijnVdS | Ni-Nja? | 10:28 |
nja | @MartijnVdS Some people call me ninja. Can't think why... | 10:28 |
nja | @ tags are still visible to everyone right?# | 10:29 |
MartijnVdS | tags? | 10:29 |
MartijnVdS | everything you say is visible | 10:29 |
MartijnVdS | muahaha | 10:30 |
TheOpenSourcerer | any sql gurus in da 'ouse? | 10:31 |
nja | OK, just making sure I am replying correctly | 10:31 |
MartijnVdS | TheOpenSourcerer: ask away | 10:31 |
nja | I speak SQL @TheOpenSourcerer | 10:31 |
nja | Now that I did tag wrong | 10:31 |
MartijnVdS | nja: natively? | 10:31 |
TheOpenSourcerer | I need some advice on joins etc. | 10:31 |
BigRedS | you speak SQL *at* him? Poor TheOpenSourcerer | 10:32 |
MartijnVdS | nja: just mention people's names, it's not Twitter :) | 10:32 |
BigRedS | :) | 10:32 |
TheOpenSourcerer | Might need to do some patebining | 10:32 |
TheOpenSourcerer | hang on. | 10:32 |
* MartijnVdS hangs on | 10:32 | |
nja | @MartijnVdS WHAT?!? | 10:32 |
nja | Not Twitter! | 10:32 |
MartijnVdS | ಠ_ಠ @ nja | 10:32 |
nja | It's what my IRC client likes best so I'll obey it. | 10:32 |
TheOpenSourcerer | This http://paste.ubuntu.com/1109867/ gets me a list of records that I want. | 10:33 |
TheOpenSourcerer | I have another table which has a column called related_to that has some records (more than one) that will match the crmid values. How do I write the correct join statement? | 10:34 |
TheOpenSourcerer | When I try I end up with millions of rows of dupes ;-( | 10:34 |
TheOpenSourcerer | The query above returns about 2.5k rows | 10:34 |
nja | Never tried joins before so I wouldn't trust my advice if I were you. | 10:35 |
MartijnVdS | TheOpenSourcerer: so you want the records from the other table, or just the ones from vtiger_crmentity that are referred to? | 10:35 |
BigRedS | TheOpenSourcerer: I don't do much SQL, but how are you expecting it to know which related_to it wants you to match up with teh first table? | 10:36 |
TheOpenSourcerer | I want the list of records in table2 that have an id in the related_to column that matches a value in the result of my first query. | 10:36 |
jacobw | nja: Does your IRC client replace 'jacobw' with '@jacobw'? | 10:37 |
jacobw | nja: Where do get the @ from | 10:37 |
nja | @jacobw No, it just highlights it with ther person's colour. | 10:37 |
MartijnVdS | TheOpenSourcerer: SELECT columns_you_want FROM second_table s JOIN first_table f ON (s.related_to = s.id) WHERE s.field = 'some_value' AND ... | 10:37 |
MartijnVdS | nja: strange client is strange ;) | 10:38 |
nja | @MartijnVdS Smuxi is only in beta. ;) | 10:38 |
MartijnVdS | TheOpenSourcerer: you have to prefix column names with "s." or "f." depending on which table you want to get them from | 10:38 |
nja | Can someone else do an @ tag for me? | 10:39 |
nja | So I can see hwat it looks like. | 10:39 |
MartijnVdS | @moo | 10:39 |
nja | With an actual person please... Not me cause it does something else for that. | 10:39 |
MartijnVdS | But.. nobody does that! | 10:40 |
nja | D: | 10:40 |
nja | @TheOpenSourcerer What project are you working on? | 10:42 |
bigcalm | That's like asking everybody to stop using email and start using Google Wave | 10:42 |
nja | @bigcalm It was a good idea! | 10:42 |
nja | Just terribly executed | 10:42 |
oimon | further to my previous comments about my buggy, do people think i might get better customer service via twitter than email? | 10:43 |
oimon | email people said no. | 10:43 |
bigcalm | oimon: twitter is more public | 10:43 |
bigcalm | No company wants bad press | 10:43 |
oimon | i replied to email people again. will wait for response | 10:43 |
TheOpenSourcerer | MartijnVdS: Thanks. That appears to be doing something sensible. It was the JOIN ON (blah = blah) that I hadn't groked. Cheers | 10:44 |
oimon | the uk twitter people are in UK , hence nicer :D | 10:44 |
TheOpenSourcerer | nja | 10:44 |
TheOpenSourcerer | nja: vtiger CRM | 10:44 |
nja | TheOpenSourcerer: posh... | 10:45 |
nja | See happy, I didn't use the @ sign | 10:45 |
nja | woah woah woah woah, Vtiger is Open Source, with a free trial. ??? | 10:46 |
nja | See you all later, 2nd last day of holiday and I'm going to go swimming now :D | 10:46 |

bigcalm | popey: how do I completely remove an app from an iOS device? If I try to reinstall an app, it reloads with cached data | 10:50 |
davmor2 | popey: what not enough abuse the first time came back for some more ;) | 10:50 |
bigcalm | gord: I'm no adult :P | 10:50 |
popey | bigcalm, no idea | 10:51 |
bigcalm | Bah | 10:51 |
bigcalm | That's something Android does without hassle | 10:52 |
bigcalm | :P | 10:52 |
popey | well, why are you reinstalling an app? | 10:52 |
bigcalm | Because it's in development | 10:52 |
popey | i haven't had the problem of having cached data retained | 10:52 |
popey | maybe the developer is storing the data incorrectly :) | 10:53 |
bigcalm | Ho hum :| | 10:53 |
* popey notes the x220 screen works quite nicely in the shade | 10:57 | |
diplo | bigcalm: Not an iOS man, but no option like Android to manage apps and clear data etc in app settings ? | 10:58 |
gord | tried to use mine in the sun yesterday, didn't go well | 10:59 |
gord | ended up being hot to the touch but didn't overheat though | 10:59 |

oimon | wow, firefox is still awful | 11:22 |
oimon | hangs, freezes, slowness | 11:22 |
oimon | went to this page and froze the whole browser hard http://www.petri.co.il/host-drs-affinity-rules-vsphere-4-1.htm | 11:23 |
BigRedS | oimon: allegedly, this is frequently down to add-ons | 11:26 |
BigRedS | someone was saying that the leakiness of an add-on is roughly proportional to its popularity, which sounds incredibly sub-optimal | 11:26 |
oimon | yeah, the firefox web browser one :P | 11:26 |
oimon | i only have a couple | 11:26 |
BigRedS | I did find a huge leap in performance when I disabled mine | 11:26 |
BigRedS | yeah, I had three. Web-dev, firebug and nagios. Disabling all of them suddenly made FF act as if it were a modern browser | 11:27 |
oimon | the performance is one thing, hard crashes are another | 11:27 |
oimon | adblock? | 11:27 |
BigRedS | I didn't have it installed, but that's a biggie for leakiness | 11:27 |
oimon | i just have adblock plus and ubuntu firefox modifications | 11:27 |
oimon | it's just a pile of poo | 11:27 |
oimon | and those millinos of pounds they get | 11:28 |
BigRedS | disable adblock plus, I bet it gets better | 11:28 |
oimon | :-\ | 11:28 |
oimon | adblock plus is the essential feature of the browser | 11:28 |
BigRedS | I don't need it | 11:29 |
* BigRedS shrugs | 11:29 | |
oimon | wow | 11:29 |
oimon | i wish i could read articles without having to put a piece of paper in the way to stop the flashing ads | 11:29 |
BigRedS | I don't think there's any site I visit with any degree of regularity with ads like that | 11:29 |
BigRedS | Though, generally, my laziness means that if I need to reconfigure my browser to make a website work I'll just not use that website | 11:30 |
czajkowski | christel: going back saturday night | 11:32 |
christel | ah ok | 11:32 |
Pendulum | christel: I had a response about what I thought of the passport office not sending David's passport and then I realised I couldn't say it here ;-) | 11:32 |

oimon | i guess not many of you are facebook users, but if i am friends with someone who likes a certain company, then if that company sends sponsored status updates, *I* see those updates! | 11:42 |
oimon | i.e. inserting advertising into my feed, not just his | 11:42 |
oimon | this is the end for facebook | 11:42 |
popey | i just hide them | 11:44 |
bigcalm | davmor2: good show | 11:45 |

* christel nods | 15:13 | |

nja | no? | 15:14 |

christel | i like you, you're funny :) | 15:14 |
nja | Strange post to follow... | 15:14 |
christel | hahaha | 15:15 |
jacobw | nja: on topic is relative in #ubuntu-uk | 15:15 |
nja | @jacobw Clearly | 15:15 |
oimon | bronyism and arch linux are just figments of the imagination | 15:16 |
DJones | AlanBell: Hope you haven't got your phone as a wifi hotspot in the olympic venues, you'll get thrown out | 15:17 |
nja | @DJones Really?! | 15:17 |
nja | The Olympics is going way too far | 15:17 |
DJones | nja: Yep, personal wifi hotspots are banned items | 15:18 |
jacobw | Wow, I've just looked up 'Bronyism' | 15:18 |
DJones | I thought it was something to do with the Bronte sisters | 15:18 |
nja | My friends seem to have all become bronies... | 15:18 |
jacobw | DJones: it's so much worse | 15:18 |
nja | @jacobw +1 | 15:19 |
oimon | it's not real | 15:19 |
nja | Why can't Spotify just play GOOD music? | 15:20 |
nja | I've almost maxed out on the | 15:20 |
oimon | i've got google music just playing good music | 15:20 |
nja | ... The Who, Dunderpatrullen | 15:20 |
nja | @oimon You have to buy the music for that | 15:20 |
jacobw | f(x) = good | 15:20 |
oimon | nja, yep | 15:20 |
nja | I don't want to pay money, that's kinda why I am using Spotify | 15:21 |
jacobw | Unfortunately, that function has never been discovered | 15:21 |
nja | Grooveshark is buggy and the legality is debatable | 15:21 |
jacobw | Perhaps you should kick the ass of a Phillippino torrent site | 15:22 |
nja | Sounds legal | 15:22 |
jacobw | I won't tell, I promise :P | 15:23 |
nja | That's it Spotify, I'm going to YouTube where I can play Teddybears again. | 15:23 |
jacobw | i have an idea for a t-shirt | 15:24 |
jacobw | "i'm not slacking off, my packets are capturing" | 15:24 |
simondbull | jacobw: hahaha | 15:24 |
jacobw | for network people :) | 15:24 |
nja | @jacobw I'm ashamed with my self that I didn't get that :( | 15:25 |
jacobw | run `sudo tcpdump -n -i wlan0 host freenode.net` | 15:26 |
jacobw | you'll see a description of each packet transmitted between your wlan0 and freenode | 15:26 |
nja | OK, if I remember when I next use ubuntu | 15:27 |
nja | This computer | 15:27 |
nja | runs | 15:27 |
nja | WINDOWS! | 15:27 |
nja | dum dum duuuuuuuuummmmmm. | 15:27 |
jacobw | unfortunately, some do | 15:27 |
simondbull | nja: Controversial! | 15:27 |
nja | :D | 15:27 |
nja | Windows 8 will spark an Ubuntu revolution | 15:28 |
nja | at least I hope | 15:29 |
jacobw | windows is a much OS now than it was even 5 years ago | 15:30 |
jacobw | much better OS even | 15:30 |
nja | Now, new topic time | 15:30 |
jacobw | the improvement of windows correlates with it's increasing adoption of open standards | 15:30 |
nja | Anyone here familiar with Slick-2D? | 15:31 |
jacobw | no, what is it? | 15:31 |
nja | Java libraries for 2D games | 15:31 |
nja | OK, fine | 15:31 |
nja | It's been 2 hours and still now response on my StackOverflow post D: | 15:32 |
jacobw | is there some reason why you have to use java? | 15:32 |
nja | @jacobw OS support mainly | 15:32 |
nja | I can do Python too | 15:34 |
nja | PyGTK3 | 15:34 |
jacobw | :) | 15:36 |
jacobw | i think unity3d is quite popular | 15:37 |
jacobw | directhex knows more about game development | 15:37 |
directhex | snuh? | 15:37 |
jacobw | i'm sure i've read about unity3d on your blog | 15:38 |
directhex | you have. | 15:38 |
directhex | what's the topic? | 15:38 |
jacobw | nja, where's your stackoverflow post? | 15:39 |
nja | I'm not too fond of Unity | 15:39 |
nja | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11650540/ | 15:39 |
nja | @jacobw ^ | 15:40 |
directhex | trying to think of how many 2d java games i've seen lately | 15:40 |
directhex | there was freecol, but that's about it | 15:40 |
nja | @directhex I suck at 3D currently | 15:41 |
directhex | well the only 3d java anyone knows or cares about is minecraft :p | 15:41 |
jacobw | minecrack | 15:41 |
nja | @directhex That's why everyone is learning Java all of a sudden | 15:41 |
directhex | lol | 15:41 |
directhex | yeah, because lwjgl isn't a blight upon the earth or anything] | 15:42 |
jacobw | most of my development work is text processing, i like python very much :) | 15:43 |
nja | @jacobw I'll tell you what we haven't had for a long time; Text based adventure games. | 15:44 |
directhex | zork zork zork | 15:44 |
nja | I knew someone would do that | 15:44 |
diplo | nja: Quite a few still running around the www | 15:45 |
diplo | Bryan Lunduke from LAS runs one i think | 15:45 |
directhex | MUDs! | 15:45 |
diplo | yah | 15:45 |
directhex | (and MUSHes and MOOs) | 15:45 |
nja | @diplo Do you think it is possible to make a AAA text based game? | 15:45 |
diplo | One of my mates used to, not sure if it's still up | 15:45 |
directhex | my wife used to play a discworld mud | 15:45 |
directhex | nja, impossible. | 15:45 |
nja | ASCII ART! | 15:46 |
directhex | nja, AAA refers to the marketing budget more than anything else, and nobody will spend an AAA budget on a text adventure's marketing | 15:46 |
nja | True | 15:46 |
nja | Although the London Olympics seem to be doing everything wrong | 15:47 |
diplo | http://www.topmudsites.com/forums/mudinfo-ajandurah.html | 15:47 |

davmor2 | daubers: well it's probably in a rack surrounded by other servers preventing access to the top of it in order to get on it :) | 16:03 |
bigcalm | "End of Vendor Support -Cisco CSS Load Balancer". Would be nice if my client had a clue and responded to hosting tickets from Rackspace | 16:03 |
daubers | davmor2: I suspect too much porn being downloaded in the office | 16:03 |
nja | @daubers or Pirateboxing | 16:03 |

KungFuPanda | hi guys, how to change webuser to be www-data instead of apache ? | 16:23 |
KungFuPanda | I do not why my webuser become apache? | 16:23 |
KungFuPanda | anything upload by user from browser will own by apache | 16:24 |
dogmatic69 | KungFuPanda: stop using a lamp package | 16:25 |
BigRedS | KungFuPanda: it's in the apache2 config file | 16:25 |
KungFuPanda | ha ? | 16:26 |
BigRedS | 'user' and 'group' directives | 16:26 |
dogmatic69 | sudo apt-get install apache2 :) | 16:26 |
KungFuPanda | is that the reason ? :-D our server still using apache ? not apache2 ? | 16:26 |
KungFuPanda | damn I just log into our server, that is why I can not find apache2ctl | 16:27 |
BigRedS | no, the old apache package used www-data, too | 16:27 |
BigRedS | but just edit the config | 16:27 |
BigRedS | if you reinstall you're boudn to lose some other config you're already reliant upon. But, in general, it's a good idea to just use the apache out of the repos | 16:27 |
BigRedS | it's generally best to use everything out of the repos | 16:28 |
KungFuPanda | I try cat /etc/passwd, I can not find www-data user | 16:28 |
BigRedS | then you'll need to add one | 16:28 |
BigRedS | it'll only be created for you if you've installed the repo-supplied apache | 16:28 |
BigRedS | if you've something custom-built then there's no reason for that user to exist | 16:28 |
KungFuPanda | ok thanks, all right, the problem is current user upload a image from browser, which own by apache, and I want to preview it from browser, but no permisson to view it, any idea ? | 16:30 |
KungFuPanda | the whole upload folder full access 777, only the file 600 | 16:31 |
BigRedS | so the file is uploaded by apache and lands owned by apache:apache, and then apache comes along and cannot serve it to you? | 16:34 |
BigRedS | I assume there's nothing in the Apache config to prevent it? | 16:34 |
KungFuPanda | yes, after image uploaded, I got a preview link in the same page, but I just can not view the image from browser | 16:36 |
BigRedS | if you su to 'apache' can you cd to the directory containing the image and then run file on it? | 16:36 |
KungFuPanda | I should be able to see it right ? even the file owned by apache:apache | 16:36 |
BigRedS | that'll check apache has enough filesystem permissions to get there | 16:36 |
BigRedS | is all this code running as the same site? Is it all in the same language? | 16:37 |
KungFuPanda | the same site, the same language | 16:37 |
BigRedS | it's not _that_ unusual for PHP to be run through mod_php as 'apache' and CGI to be suexeced to your user in some shared environments, for example | 16:37 |
BigRedS | ah, cool | 16:37 |
BigRedS | yeah, can apache su there? | 16:37 |
BigRedS | er, cd | 16:37 |
KungFuPanda | su apache, | 16:40 |
KungFuPanda | This account is currently not available. | 16:40 |
jacobw | what? | 16:41 |
jacobw | su actually says that? | 16:41 |
KungFuPanda | yes | 16:41 |
bigcalm | If it's a debian/ubuntu machine, it'll be www-data. Not apache | 16:41 |
BigRedS | bigcalm: he said earlier it's apache and there is no www-data user | 16:41 |
bigcalm | Ah, sorry :) | 16:41 |
* bigcalm goes back to work | 16:42 | |
BigRedS | haha | 16:42 |
BigRedS | KungFuPanda: try specifying a shell | 16:42 |
BigRedS | su - apache -s /bin/bash | 16:42 |
jacobw | debianized apache is much more friendly than the redhat distribution | 16:43 |
bigcalm | Aye, the login might be set to /bin/false or nologin | 16:44 |
BigRedS | yeah, redhatites tend to complain that debianised apache is patronising | 16:44 |
BigRedS | I think they'd prefer it all in one massive file with no comments | 16:44 |
jacobw | my problem is that they have do have a massive file with configuration sprinkled between endless comments | 16:45 |
KungFuPanda | I do not know that the system is runing, | 16:46 |
KungFuPanda | cat /etc/passwd | 16:46 |
KungFuPanda | got this: | 16:46 |
KungFuPanda | apache:x:48:48:Apache:/var/www:/sbin/nologin | 16:46 |
BigRedS | jacobw: ah yeah. I've had that problem with dovecot recently | 16:46 |
BigRedS | I'm slowly replacing all our multi-KB dovecot.confs with my 11-line one... | 16:47 |
bigcalm | Use chsh to change the shell of the apache user | 16:47 |
jacobw | BigRedS: yeah, dovecot as well :) | 16:48 |
KungFuPanda | damn, I do not know the apache password | 16:49 |
BigRedS | KungFuPanda: there probably isn't one | 16:49 |
bigcalm | Indeed | 16:49 |
BigRedS | become root before suing to apache | 16:49 |
bigcalm | Use sudo chsh | 16:49 |
BigRedS | then you wont need one | 16:49 |
nja | Hello again all. I'm back to annoy you all. | 16:49 |
BigRedS | oh, or that | 16:49 |
bigcalm | Or sudo su - apache | 16:49 |
jacobw | sudo -u apache | 16:50 |
* BigRedS defers to the proper way of doing it | 16:50 | |
bigcalm | I think you might have to change the shell of the apache user before you can su to it | 16:50 |
BigRedS | yeah, or supply a shell | 16:51 |
BigRedS | sudo su apache -s /bin/bash | 16:51 |
KungFuPanda | ok, sudo su apache -s /bin/bash , this one works | 16:57 |
KungFuPanda | I can go into that folder and see the file | 16:57 |
KungFuPanda | as apache user | 16:58 |
BigRedS | cool | 16:58 |
BigRedS | so there's no filesystem reason why Apache can't read that | 16:58 |
BigRedS | and so there must be something in teh apache config stopping it | 16:58 |
BigRedS | and that's harder to debug :) | 16:59 |
BigRedS | what is the path to the file, out of interest? | 16:59 |
KungFuPanda | I found it, damn, I am stupid, the url wrong | 16:59 |
BigRedS | frequently, /var/www and /home/*/public_html are the only permitted places | 16:59 |
BigRedS | ah! | 16:59 |
bigcalm | :D | 16:59 |
KungFuPanda | thanks all | 16:59 |
BigRedS | haha! | 16:59 |
KungFuPanda | thank you guys , have a nice evening | 16:59 |
bigcalm | Enjoy | 16:59 |

nja | Is what I am listening | 17:15 |
nja | to | 17:15 |
jacobw | i like 'burn notice', it's like a spy drama and a con drama in the show | 17:19 |
awilkins | Also like the way they explain things. And Gabrielle Anwar isn't hideous. | 17:20 |
jacobw | i've just learnt that thermite has a surface temperature of 1000C | 17:21 |
awilkins | Melty. | 17:21 |
jacobw | which seems arbitrarily precise to me, but nevermind :) | 17:21 |
nja | @jacobw I liked Burn Notice, but the series' never really went anywhere. Has it changed much? | 17:26 |
jacobw | i'm at s1e9 right now | 17:26 |
nja | @jacobw watching on DVD? | 17:27 |
awilkins | S2 has a bit more arc. And that blonde cyborg from BSG (Tricia Helfer) | 17:27 |

cbx33 | hey peeps | 18:00 |
cbx33 | anyone here good on licensing? | 18:00 |
cbx33 | been working on an android app | 18:01 |
cbx33 | using cordova and jquerymobile | 18:01 |
cbx33 | cordova is released using the Apache license, and jquerymobile is release dual license GPL + MIT | 18:02 |
cbx33 | I'm wondering what restrictions are imposed on me and what obligations I have | 18:02 |
cbx33 | I have read through the T=C | 18:02 |
cbx33 | but just wanted to confirm my thoughts with someone that knows a little more about licensing than I | 18:03 |
AlanBell | cbx33 have you modified either of them? | 18:04 |
cbx33 | nope | 18:05 |
cbx33 | I've only added my own index.html into the assets | 18:05 |
cbx33 | and compiled the apk package | 18:06 |
AlanBell | fine, so basically be clear about what precisely is in it | 18:10 |
AlanBell | read the licenses too | 18:10 |
cbx33 | AlanBell, I have done | 18:10 |
AlanBell | and keep your own copies of the sources | 18:10 |
cbx33 | just wanted to confirm with someone else that has read them | 18:10 |
cbx33 | meaning? I don't need to release the sources? | 18:11 |
AlanBell | keep an archive version of the precise release you are using | 18:11 |
AlanBell | unminified | 18:11 |
cbx33 | oh....of jquery you mean? | 18:12 |
AlanBell | yeah, and probably the other | 18:12 |
cbx33 | ok | 18:12 |
cbx33 | so the Actual source | 18:13 |
cbx33 | not just he libs that they created | 18:13 |
cbx33 | s/he/the | 18:13 |
AlanBell | yeah | 18:13 |
cbx33 | ok | 18:13 |
cbx33 | I did read that | 18:13 |
cbx33 | what isd that for exactly? | 18:13 |
cbx33 | sorry for my ignorance | 18:14 |
cbx33 | my fist time releasing somethin like this | 18:14 |
AlanBell | if someone asks for it you don't want to depend on the jquery website being up | 18:14 |
cbx33 | ahhh | 18:14 |
cbx33 | ok | 18:14 |
AlanBell | or keeping that version etc | 18:15 |
cbx33 | so who "would" ask me for it | 18:15 |
AlanBell | nobody | 18:15 |
cbx33 | hehh | 18:15 |
cbx33 | and i can sell it? (not that I'm wanting to) | 18:15 |
AlanBell | sure | 18:16 |
cbx33 | cool | 18:16 |
cbx33 | and i don't have to provide access to any source? | 18:16 |
cbx33 | under Apache license and MIT? | 18:16 |
AlanBell | you can do that regardless of the license you are using for your code | 18:16 |
AlanBell | not for your stuff with those licences | 18:17 |
cbx33 | for their stuff? | 18:17 |
cbx33 | do i have to link to their sources? | 18:17 |
cbx33 | and i know YANAL | 18:18 |
AlanBell | it would be nice to credit them | 18:18 |
cbx33 | of course i will | 18:18 |
cbx33 | and include their licenses | 18:18 |
cbx33 | but j=was just wondering about links to source | 18:18 |
cbx33 | GPL you have to right? | 18:18 |
AlanBell | depending on how tight the integration is, probably | 18:19 |
cbx33 | yeh | 18:19 |
cbx33 | in case you are wondering it's an app to help people learn Regex | 18:19 |
cbx33 | and has a javascript based tester | 18:20 |
cbx33 | and a regex dictionary | 18:20 |
AlanBell | nice | 18:20 |
ali1234 | is learning regex really a useful thing in this day and age? | 18:22 |
cbx33 | I would say most definitely | 18:22 |
cbx33 | i use it at least several times a month | 18:22 |
cbx33 | been doing a lot of work on splunk recently and it is essential if you want to pull out custom fields and cool information | 18:23 |
ali1234 | i have no idea what that is | 18:23 |
ali1234 | i find regexp is always either overkill or inadequate for the task | 18:24 |
cbx33 | well I'll be honest, I love it | 18:26 |
cbx33 | if you have a huge log file with ip addresses scattered around | 18:26 |
ali1234 | i only really know a small amount of regexp syntax but it's enough, except when i'm trying to figure out a regexp written by someone else | 18:26 |
cbx33 | regex for me is the easiest way to find them :) | 18:26 |
ali1234 | yeah... that's the thing though | 18:27 |
ali1234 | "find all the IPs in this arbitrarily formatted text blob" isn't really something i need to do often | 18:27 |
cbx33 | nope | 18:27 |
cbx33 | as a sysadmin, it's a task we do a fair amount | 18:27 |
ali1234 | nearly always there is some kind of format to the input | 18:28 |
cbx33 | (as an example) and things like this.....take the output of the ping command and create an average of the latency | 18:28 |
ali1234 | and exploiting that is usually easier than trying to make a perfect regexp | 18:28 |
ali1234 | especially if it's html/xml | 18:28 |
ali1234 | yeah... you know ping outputs averages right? | 18:28 |
cbx33 | I said it was an exmaple | 18:28 |
cbx33 | but you could have a running average :) | 18:28 |
cbx33 | every second | 18:29 |
ali1234 | mtr | 18:29 |
cbx33 | I know, I know bad example | 18:29 |
cbx33 | I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT !!! | 18:29 |
cbx33 | :p | 18:29 |
ali1234 | this is it - there's things regexp is good at... bt nobody does them in the real world :) | 18:29 |
cbx33 | we do for quick jobs :) | 18:31 |
cbx33 | "get me some stats on that compute grid within the next 3 hours" - I don't mess about with documentation generally | 18:32 |
cbx33 | I just get the stats | 18:32 |
cbx33 | :) | 18:32 |
ali1234 | for quick jobs i use python | 18:32 |
* cbx33 too | 18:34 | |
cbx33 | regex in python | 18:34 |
cbx33 | bbl | 18:36 |
cbx33 | thanks AlanBell | 18:36 |
BigRedS | I do things requiring regexes all the time | 18:57 |
BigRedS | well, I say 'requiring', sometimes it's easier to use a regex someone else has already written... | 18:57 |
jacobw | logcheck requires regular expressions :) | 19:01 |
jacobw | like, hundreds of them | 19:01 |
Azelphur | what's the deal with channel registration on freenode? | 19:04 |
Azelphur | Is there any way to transfer an OS easily onto a different sized drive? | 19:59 |
MartijnVdS | just dd and resize partitions afterwards | 20:01 |
MartijnVdS | ext* and btrfs can resize online | 20:01 |
Azelphur | cool :) | 20:01 |
MartijnVdS | well | 20:01 |
MartijnVdS | grow, not shrink | 20:01 |
Azelphur | you can't dd a mounted partition right? | 20:02 |
directhex | you can't but don't expect much joy the next time you mount it | 20:06 |
Azelphur | hehe | 20:06 |
ali1234 | remount it readonly | 20:17 |
soreau | I usually just use cp -a | 20:26 |
Azelphur | soreau: hehe, was wondering if cp -a would work, does that get grub too? | 20:27 |
soreau | Azelphur: No, just for copying linux from one partition to another | 20:27 |
Azelphur | ah :) | 20:27 |
soreau | I usually always plan to reinstall grub at leat | 20:27 |
soreau | least* | 20:27 |
soreau | maybe for transferring to another drive, dd is better | 20:28 |
soreau | but I haven't done that | 20:29 |
Azelphur | hehe | 20:29 |
Azelphur | wat https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3832397/screenshots/2012/July/2012-07-25-214240_1501x526_scrot.png | 20:43 |
Azelphur | how does that even work | 20:43 |
Azelphur | /dev/sdb1 is not 6.4GB at all, yet the OS seems to think so. | 20:44 |
* Azelphur nudges soreau with that one :p | 20:44 | |
Azelphur | where are all the smart people hiding, I need saving from whatever on earth that problem is :P | 20:52 |
* Seeker` thinks Azelphur should go back to 'how to plug in an Arduino without blowing it up' | 20:54 | |
Azelphur | noes. | 20:54 |
Azelphur | LOL, two different drives in the same machine with the same mount point | 20:57 |
* Seeker` claps for Azelphur | 21:01 | |
Azelphur | xD | 21:01 |

GaryLittlemore | Hi all, anyone able to tell me how I can change my device name in 12.04? | 21:37 |
Azelphur | GaryLittlemore: you mean the hostname? | 21:40 |
GaryLittlemore | in System Settings> Details> it says Device Name but mine is greyed out. | 21:41 |
Azelphur | yea that's hostname | 21:42 |
Azelphur | I think you can do sudo hostname <new name> | 21:43 |
Azelphur | and that'll change it | 21:43 |
* directhex moos | 21:48 | |
* Azelphur counter moos | 21:50 | |
* brobostigon meeps | 21:51 | |
Azelphur | I'm thinking about getting some water slide decal paper and decorating my PC, might be fun | 21:52 |
GaryLittlemore | Doing sudo hostname <new name> has changed something, but not what I wanted to change | 22:00 |
Azelphur | :( | 22:01 |
