[08:33] yes, I typoed, well done [08:33] basically the "free travel area" is all the EU states apart from the UK and ireland + iceland, lichtenstein, switzerland and norway [08:33] ah well think there is plenty of time to get a new passport before December [08:33] Laney: you might not have, it's early and I'm easily confused [08:33] bittin^work: where are you from? :) [08:34] christel, Sweden [08:34] oh yes, i remember that now [08:34] christel: i thought norway was part of it..... [08:34] yeah i suspect you've got plenty of time, at least its pretty quick back home (norway) [08:35] xnox: yes it is -- i meant all the EU states (apart from uk + ireland) PLUS those four countries [08:35] i probably worded it rather awkwardly [08:35] ah I see. [08:35] (insufficient caffeine intake) [08:35] christel: substitute with sugar! [08:36] hehe [08:36] christel: how was the candy? :) [08:36] i havent tried it yet! I am saving it so i can taste it with the alans! [08:36] will get a passport for living on the streets of UK for 4days o: [08:37] bittin^work: that sounds rather cold!

Tis big with lots of 404s [08:53] the xkcd is HUGE [08:57] I went up and down the big black mountain thing, then left for a while [08:57] and then when it started going down I decided to do something useful ;-) [08:58] there's a whole underground world... and a Saturn V somewhere :) [09:01] http://i.imgur.com/GDJPL.png xkcd spoiler :) [09:01] (for those of us with better things to do) :D [09:01] Hehe [09:02] At least I took the time to look at the source and pick at the JS. There's no escaping my job [09:02] popey, :D [09:04] thanks popey for giving me my morning back [09:05] amazon sell replacement mice btw [09:05] * Laney is considering getting a trackball [09:05] anyone use one?

[09:18] Laney: I used one for a while, quite liked it, meant I didn't have to tidy my desk enough for a mouse patch :) [09:19] AlanBell: "a while" implies you stopped? [09:19] yeah, but not for any good reason really [09:23] Laney, i have a cow orker with one [09:23] crap for FPSes ;) [09:23] davmor2: is software centre your thing? [09:24] well I'd keep a normal mouse for gaming [09:24] not that I can do any of that before I get my upgrade anyway though [09:25] mice for gaming? pfft. real men use BRAIN-SCANNING HEADSETS [09:26] http://www.ocztechnology.com/nia-game-controller.html [09:26] Goodness [09:35] directhex: Now the advertisers KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS!!!! [09:35] Now they KNOW they need to sell you those meds!!! [09:51] and those.. enlargements.. [09:51] yes, i could certainly do with enlarging my photos [09:52] oh my! [09:52] I got to shoot with a 70-200 2.8L last weekend [09:53] ( "Hey, want to try this one?" "Sure..") [09:53] and you swung it around and said "hey, is that kate middleton? watch *this*" [09:53] directhex: .. no [09:54] Aww [09:54] directhex: I was here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/treenaks/sets/72157631547106604/ [09:54] then you phoned up the french tabloids and said "hey, guess what?" [09:54] HELLO SAILOR! http://www.flickr.com/photos/treenaks/7991194306/in/set-72157631547106604/ [09:55] LOL [09:55] popey: actually, that band had an "italian" theme :) [09:55] they look fabulous [09:55] http://www.flickr.com/photos/treenaks/7991177696/in/set-72157631547106604/ dude on the right looks like he's kinda scared of what will happen when he crashes his cymbals [09:56] especially with those red sashes [09:56] MartijnVdS: what ISO were you using for this? [09:56] bigcalm: 1600ish [09:56] 115200 [09:56] directhex: 28k8 [09:56] Impressive quality for a high ISO [09:56] RANDOMIZE USR 1331 [09:56] s/Z/S [09:57] +/ [09:58] MartijnVdS: what's the F range of the lens? [09:58] AlanBell: no I just break software-center [10:00] Morning davmor2 [10:00] davmor2: joining us tonight? [10:04] davmor2: where should people be sent who have a query about paid for apps? [10:04] specifically people who turn up in #ubuntu who have paid for something and want to re-download it or paid for it and didn't get it etc. [10:05] AlanBell: on the email there is a link that leads to FAQs and an rt system, on the whole you can just reinstall it though [10:06] on what email? [10:06] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pay [10:07] thanks directhex [10:09] AlanBell: the email receipt for the purchase [10:09] directhex: thanks for that [10:10] mighty hex to the rescue [10:20] As much as I hate Gtk, I actually quite like working in Gtk [10:23] i like gtk. but my secret shame is i like :p [10:23] and i lurve monodevelop's gui designer. changed my life, it did! [10:24] I haven't used monodevelop for a few years, I assume it's improved somewhat muchly? [10:25] reminds me badgerports was giving me 403 the other day [10:26] i just like the integration between gui design and code design. especially the circular nature - i.e. drawing my own widgets with code, then immediately being able to drag and drop those custom widgets into other widgets or windows (or other projects entirely) [10:26] popey, oh? [10:26] tea with rice milk is a curious thing [10:26] popey, maybe webhost downtime. it's real bargain basement hosting [10:26] i may have disabled it now [10:26] no, okay now [10:27] When I have a spare weekend I'll have to sit down with c# again. Not touched it for _ages_ [10:29] bigcalm: The lens I borrowed was the 70-200mm f/2.8 (L) [10:32] MartijnVdS: and it does f/2.8 at 200mm? [10:34] bigcalm: I don't think it does [10:34] oh wait [10:34] apparently it DOES [10:34] I would be surprised. I am surprised :) [10:34] bigcalm: it's an L lens.. :) [10:35] L stands for Ludicrously expensive [10:35] it does :) [11:20] directhex: you named your first born sudo drop tables didn't you :D [11:22] I'm always surprised how much gried I get for having an apostrophe in my surname. even working for an irish company, that's very poorly supported [11:23] er, *grief [11:25] shauno: no it's the global system of hate for people with names out of the norm ;) Not to make you feel paranoid or anything :D [11:26] my biggest trick is that MIS assigned me an email address which also features same apostrophe. which is completely within the rfc [11:42] davmor2: http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names :) [11:43] davmor2: My passport name != what people call me, and my family name consists of 3 words.. support for this outside .nl is not very common [11:52] MartijnVdS: I am considering to make my middle name IRC nickname and be done with it. [11:54] I just go for the "one field" solution that page suggests [12:33] arrrrrrrr? [12:34] happy talk like a pirate day to you too [12:39] why do pirates take ages to learn the alphabet? [13:01] christel: I don't know, why do pirates take ages to learn the alphabet? [13:07] they can't get passed the c? [13:25] pinky-: close! they spend years at C! <3 [13:32] christel: and can only say R [13:34] directhex, torchlight is in USC now [13:34] well, its listed [13:34] its listed what? [13:35] popey: it's in [13:35] yeah, installing [13:35] popey, ali1234: we should of lost the amd64 issue too [13:35] * popey farts an apostrophe at Dave2 [13:36] * Dave2 hands it back to popey. [13:36] popey: don't play it, it lures you in and then the hours disappear [13:38] heh [13:38] Shatter didn't show up when I tried it last night [13:43] wfm [13:46] Dave2: yeah that was the amd64 issue [13:47] seems to work now [13:47] ali1234: Yeap SPAZ still needs the fix and then I think they are all done [13:48] ali1234: it was the multiarch causing the headache [13:48] yes, i know [13:48] i want to know when you're going to fix it in USC [13:49] ali1234: it's not a USC issue as such [13:49] it shouldn't be necessary to add duplicate packages to make multiarch work; the whole point of it is to remove duplicate packages [13:49] and synaptic does not have this problem, nor any other package manager [13:49] therefore, it is a USC issue [13:54] ali1234: I'm going to go with davmor2 probably knows more about the USC than most people in here [13:54] so what? [13:54] this is clearly an open and shut case [13:55] further more, i have presented a clear and logical argument which supports my position [13:55] and all davmor2 has given is a vague "it's not our problem" [13:57] ali1234: I didn't say it wasn't our problem, I said it was USC at fault, the issue is deeper than that and there are about 6 issues in total so it will take a while :P [13:57] *sigh* [13:59] ali1234: perhaps talking to others in the team in USC channel might be more appropiate than giving out to davmor2 who is only giving you the information [13:59] #software-center [14:17] Hm. Apparently I'm going to a gllug drink up tomorrow. Is anyone else? [14:17] narp [14:17] was tempted [14:18] but I think if I get a whiff off a drink I'll fall over in a heap [14:18] ah, not ideal === emma is now known as em [14:24] torchlight detects my screen resolution as 2x-158095012 [14:24] ali1234: it's not?!?! [14:25] on second run it runs in window mode [14:25] i can select the correct resolution from the settings [14:25] hit apply... now the game resized but the window didn't, and i can access the menu buttons any more as they are outside the visible area [14:29] Anyone got any recomendations of server builders? Like DNUK, Broadberry etc.? [14:43] I've used DNUK in the past, they were good [14:44] BigRedS, I used TMC for the lug.org.uk one [14:46] ali1234, dustforce doesn't like my dual-screen with different resolutions either === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [15:01] popey: ta! [15:01] mgdm: yeah, we're gathering prices, already got DNUK's [15:01] popey: do you have a website URL for them? [15:02] oh, tmc-uk.com looks right [15:02] thats them [15:10] ali1234, torchlight set my resolution to 720x400 [15:11] second time okay [15:12] but i set it to full screen 1080p and it goes big, windowed, doesn't look like it can do full screen [15:14] popey: it should but apparently fails to, so the devs are being informed :( [15:15] popey: what makes it more amusing is the fullscreen button doesn't seem to do anything :D [15:22] yeah [15:22] QA - We've heard of it! [15:23] * popey redeems steam keys [15:34] I see a Laney ! [15:35] why does my webcam hardly ever refresh? [15:35] dunno, but its funny [15:42] anyone looking for a SA role, we have 2 going, one based in London, and one based remotely if interested dm me [15:44] popey, hurrah, 2/3 there with USC publications [15:50] Is it time for steak yet? [15:51] oh made a yummy sauce last night, butter, flour, large heaped spoon of caramelised onions, drop of cream and a large drop of brandy [15:51] dear USC, is it really that hard to cache credentials? [15:51] over some potatoes :) bit lush for tatties but was all I could eat [15:54] is there any way in top to show the full command line of a process? [15:54] I have "python" chewing up 98% CPU but I don't know what it is exactly [15:55] -c or did i dream that? [15:55] \o/ [15:55] ok, next question, why is juju doing stuff! [15:56] because it wants to? :o [15:56] how helpful am i? :P [15:57] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCQ7VLoY7bQ [15:57] [16:05] Anybody else having spotify connection trouble right now? [16:09] MartijnVdS, good track selection! [16:11] That was a fun track [16:12] My goodness, I appear to be in agreement with Pete Cannon [16:17] bigcalm: don't ever let him here you say that ;) [16:17] davmor2: I did check the channel list before saying it :P [16:18] directhex: Yes [16:19] directhex: it is however being worked on in Quantal possibly completed in 13.04 [16:51] 9mins to 6pm then 4 days off! [16:51] * bigcalm wibbles with excitement [16:54] bigcalm: eww [16:56] bigcalm: woot! [16:58] I'm glad somebody appreciates my wibbling [16:58] bigcalm: i'm here for you [16:59] o/ === schwuk is now known as schwuk_away [17:49] i want four days off! [17:55] woop [17:55] * brobostigon gets christel a pint of haymaker. [17:56] \o/ [17:56] \o/ [17:57] directhex, rochard is in [17:58] popey, hax! [17:58] * popey install0rz [18:01] t'is huge [18:01] I BLAME MONO [18:11] directhex: Don't you blame MONO, that's what we all do :) [18:12] * bigcalm heads off to the LUG [18:12] it'd only be 1.4 meg if they'd used Qt [18:12] it must be true, i read it on phoronix [18:12] bigcalm: I'm not making it [18:12] davmor2: boo [18:13] Try not to have too stressful an evening then [18:13] *zoink* [18:24] rochard. slow on intel, but so is drawing an opengl cube [18:47] ok, thats a fun game [18:47] i played for a bit seemed to work fine on my i7 laptop [18:47] bit sluggish in places, but playable [18:48] hmmm, can my ISP see what I download via WinSCP? [18:48] (if I use SSH) [18:51] popey: have you tried torchlight yet? [18:52] Monotoko, no [18:52] davmor2, not yet [18:55] popey, good... I'm a university student and I don't particularly want them snooping through my private directories I need to download :P [18:56] Monotoko: ssh protects the data in transit from snooping on as it passes, it does nothing to protect it at each end [18:57] popey: an you see a bumble bee icon for your power icon ? [18:57] czajkowski, power icon is busted again, it'll be fixed [18:57] czajkowski: yeap new theme [18:58] AlanBell, that's all I need... it's nothing super top secret, just have a few songs in there and don't want to be questioned as to where I got them (because I can't remember myself these days... a lot of them came from CD) [18:58] popey: everytime there is a theme update it breaks I'm sure of it :D [18:58] Monotoko, ecryptfs is good for that :) [18:58] * popey gets back to testing new unity [18:58] the other unity [18:59] the game engine? [18:59] * AlanBell zsyncs the desktop iso for another test in virtualbox [18:59] suspect sound is still broken :( === oracology1 is now known as oracology [19:00] no, the desktop [19:00] new one is coming out tomorrow [19:00] sund is fine [19:00] *sound [19:01] czajkowski: in virtualbox? without changing the output device? [19:03] nope in a desktop [19:03] not changed any settings did updates there worked fine [19:03] sure, that is fine [19:03] but if you want to test it in virtualbox it boots silent, no drums [19:03] oh right [19:04] which means blind users have have to start by messing with the pulse audio settings with sighted assistance [19:04] and in fact all users need to go messing in obscure settings, not really an a11y bug as such [19:05] anyhow, my download is done, lets see what happens . . . [19:05] AlanBell, bug number? [19:05] no drums :( [19:05] bug 1016969 [19:05] Launchpad bug 1016969 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "daily live cd boots silent in virtualbox" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1016969 [19:06] hmm, can't seem to get to the indicators with the keyboard either [19:06] interesting [19:06] the LFE audio devices.. [19:07] do you have those on your host? is the virtualbox driver passing audio devices through now? [19:07] bother. No keyboard accessible indicator means it is game over without assistance [19:08] AlanBell: F10 + Left-arrow doesn't work? [19:08] ALT+F10 on an empty desktop gets me the first indicator [19:09] xnox: not for me in virtualbox at the ubiquity screen [19:09] ah [19:09] popey: me too, on an actual desktop [19:09] I don't have the LFE devices on my quantal host [19:09] or a connector dropdown [19:16] popey: ubiquity-dm != compiz [19:19] I should do an updated screenshot as the pulse setup has changed [19:19] equally nonfunctional, but has changed now [19:25] xnox: so, what package do I file a bug against for the non-keyboard accessible indicators? [19:30] AlanBell: if you never clicked "Try Ubuntu" or booted via "F6 + Install Ubuntu" it's ubiquity package [19:31] AlanBell: please also add "ubiquity-dm" tag [19:31] AlanBell: as ubiquity fakes it's own desktop session, it's not gnome-panel and it's not compiz/unity [19:31] ok, will do [19:31] AlanBell: it's actually A full screen wallpaper picture with a GtkMenu bar on the top =) [19:32] I am about to go through the install on real hardware (and the monitor switched off) [19:32] heh [19:34] AlanBell: bet you're not brave enough to tty the install with the computer switched off! ;D [19:34] *try [19:35] :) /me waits for the drums [19:36] AlanBell, which buntu is this? [19:36] I installed a copy of 12.04.1 on my laptop the other day and it was muted until I unmuted it [19:36] regular gnome desktop live CD, I don't test the others [19:37] yeah, that is a problem a lot of people have seen [19:37] ahhh okay [19:37] not always that easy to reproduce, some hardware boots muted some doesn't [19:38] any bug I can add my hardware to? [19:38] might narrow it down a bit [19:41] bug 914841 [19:41] Launchpad bug 914841 in alsa-utils (Ubuntu Precise) "Some systems initially muted (on first boot only)" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/914841 [19:42] ahhh it's fixed :D [19:43] wonder if the 12.04.1 CD image got the fix [19:43] anyhow, would be interesting if a live quantal cd boots silent on your hardware [20:11] AlanBell, I shall let you know tomorrow if you like?
