[10:11] popey: irssi_proxy told me about a USC issue in guest mode [10:11] ah, in #software-center [10:12] popey: I didn't look at the channel I just saw your nick :D [10:12] davmor2, as guest I can't see reviews because USC thinks I am offline [10:12] related to bug 911706 I guess [10:12] Launchpad bug 911706 in software-center (Ubuntu) "USC relies on NM to be online, can't force online if not using NM" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/911706 [10:12] Mines in my loft I think Azelphur, don't game much anymore :/ [10:13] popey: okay ta [10:13] hehe [10:14] * popey wonders where bigcalm is [10:14] he's coming round for tea and biscuits later [10:14] sounds deliciously British [10:15] popey: Hide the chocolate ones or he won't leave ;) [10:23] czajkowski: if you see this, oil of cloves or a tube of anbesol for your tooth [10:35] popey: this picture is so scary even the glass is behind you is cracking ;) http://wolk.vandestreek.net/~martijn/lolpopey.jpg [10:36] davmor2: and he keeps stealing your focus [10:37] wow, i posted that url in a canonical irc channel just now [10:37] which davmor2 isnt in [10:37] spooky [10:38] popey: you only think I'm not there muhahahahahaahahahahahahah [10:38] popey: that image has been viewed _160_ times in the last 10 minutes... [10:38] ! [10:39] and only a few times before that [10:39] popey: it got posted on #tdtrs [10:39] wat [10:41] popey: blame mogger87 [10:42] * MartijnVdS resizes the image to NOT be 1.7MB [10:42] MartijnVdS: no it needs that level of detail other wise is doesn't steal your focus [10:43] davmor2: it's still 1200x800 [10:43] davmor2: instead of 3000x2000ish [10:44] davmor2, i still dont understand how it got out of canonical irc [10:45] (8 * 3.14 = 25.12 -- 8 pi = christmas!) [10:46] speaking of popey pictures I am reminded of this release party picture http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/popey.jpg and the fact that we are just over a month away from the next release party [10:46] popey: just cause you said about it on can irc doesn't mean it hasn't been posted in here before now or on someones blog and now it's on twitter thanks to dick_turpin and so on [10:47] no but it seems massive coincidence that I post it out of the blue in #dx and suddenly it's had 160 views in the last 10 mins [10:48] you mean it wasn't posted in #tdtrs recently? [10:48] ah, blame neil!

[10:54] davmor2, kinda dark colour like normal theme [10:54] popey: also do you get the blue highlight around the password box on lightdm [10:54] no [10:54] just updating though [10:54] popey: mine is looking more like the gnome3 black [10:56] * popey gets lunch [10:56] you guys striping down ubuntu?

[11:08] is anyone good at grub rescue prompts? [11:09] (yes, i've tried booting a live usb, but that doesn't seem to work either. blinking cursor, but i hear the log in sound play) [11:13] why are you at a grub rescue prompt? [11:16] i don't know :( [11:16] the updater told me to reboot, so i did, and now i have a grub rescue prompt [11:16] (hooray for quantal) [11:20] popey had that dutchie a week ago or so from memory [11:22] i did [11:22] dutchie, is it a dualboot machine? [11:22] yes [11:22] poke cjwatson about it in #ubuntu-desktop [11:22] :( [11:22] devel [11:22] he may want to know about it [11:22] or there [11:22] #ubuntu-devel [11:23] done [11:26] http://open.spotify.com/track/4aAODvWYkmJaqosWFN28dl tune du jour [11:28] * popey listens [12:29] I do wish spotify URLs were more parseable [12:29] more human parseable, even [12:31] popey: the launcher becomes a mess about app 20 [12:34] BigRedS, then you wouldn't click then [12:34] *them [12:34] davmor2, depends on resolution doesn't it? [12:34] and size of launcher icons [12:35] popey: default size 1366x768, and 1440x900 iirc still starts getting ugly [12:35] heh [12:35] 2048x1152 ftw [12:36] 640x480 [12:36] the resolution of champions [12:36] AlanBell: well, there's 320x240x8bit [12:36] VGA "Mode X" [12:39] Hercules FTW 720x348! [12:41] yay [12:41] that is a very wide aspect ratio isn't it [12:41] if they were square pixels, which they were not [12:42] i wish projectors did laptop screen resolutions [12:42] 2012, and most of them are still 1024x768 [12:43] the ones at UDS are 1280x800 [12:45] they do hdmi too [12:45] been looking at a new office projector... may need to budget it next year :/ [12:49] IT Crowd fucking rules, why did i not started watching it years ago [12:50] too bad there is only a couple episodes [12:56] bittin^work: i never watch it, but i saw the irish guy hanging about our office the other week [12:56] they were filming a new film in the parking lot [13:00] yeah i heard my friend was talking about a movie aswell [13:00] !family | bittin^work [13:01] hmm [13:01] bot forgot about family-friendliness of channel? [13:04] http://www.ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?search=family not a trigger word [13:05] oh, while I remember [13:05] !paidapps | davmor2 [13:05] davmor2: Information about purchasing applications from the Ubuntu Software Centre including refunds, reinstalls and license keys can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pay [13:07] license keys? :/ [13:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pay/FAQs/License_Key sure [13:08] ubuntu has really developed into something commercially available since I showed a lot of interest [13:09] :) [13:09] hamitron: yeah don't forget some of the apps we have are ports from windows, so in windows they have keys and that transfers to linux [13:09] viable I mean [13:09] well, it is good imo [13:11] kind of, but it all seems very individual focussed to me [13:12] dunno whether USC is now integrated with Landscape at all [13:12] what is USC? [13:12] Ubuntu Software Centre [13:12] oh ofc [13:13] * hamitron feels dumb [13:13] heh :) [13:13] Brain is not here at the moment [13:13] * popey is negotiating for saturday evening beer [13:14] I don't know if you can purchase stuffs from USC in bulk and deploy from there to your landscape managed fleet of computers [13:15] unlikely [13:16] do you know if the Zentyal purchase is leading to interesting new work being done? [13:17] or partnership [13:18] actually re-reading it that just looks like a support arrangement [13:19] AlanBell: I'm not aware of any landscape integration or bulk installs as such, but also I don't think it has ever come up either. [13:19] o/ [13:20] I am here btw... [13:20] :D [13:20] here on Saturday too jussi? [13:20] jussi: no you aren't you are there not here, I'm here and you aren't, so you must be there [13:21] AlanBell: no, leave friday night about 6 [13:21] davmor2: shaddup :P [13:22] * jussi throws eggs at davmor2 [13:22] jussi: they are missing me cause you are not here :P [13:22] davmor2: Im at a place with lots of cool old cars... :P [13:23] "here" [13:23] :D [13:23] jussi: old cars you must be in the UK then and possibly near the NEC [13:24] Heritage Motor Center :D [13:24] (AUtomotive linux summit) [13:27] slackpkg upgrade-all [13:27] wrong window >< [13:27] lol [14:11] t-mobile has this customer forum and if you create an account with "+" in the email it filters it out and replaces it with a space [14:11] good job developers. replace a valid character with an invalid one. [14:13] i sent an email to their support from the + address [14:18] ali1234: I got red up with trying to use the gmail + trick because so many sites bug out [14:18] I went for plan B and enabled catch all on @azelphur.com, then just use domain@azelphur.com [14:20] yeah the amusing thing here is it actually accepted the email, but then changed it before saving it to the database [14:20] lol [14:21] so now they think my email is an invalid email that will never succeed in delivery [14:21] hopefully it fills there server logs with crap and crashes their server [14:22] i'm going to subscribe to as many topics as possible [14:22] * hamitron makes note not to do stuff to annoy ali1234 [14:27] Azelphur: microsoft added "+" aliases the live/hotmail recently, so maybe it will become more common [14:27] probably not :P [14:32] hamitron: You Slacker you :D [14:34] ali1234, i thought this is why we had RFC standards for things, so we avoid errors in addresses [14:42] Hi peeps :) === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [14:59] bigcalm[mob]: lo muppet boy what this about being down Sowfffff again [15:11] Davmor2: this time it's for fun.

Should try and remember the label and buy some myself [20:22] bigcalm_laptop, cameraphones were made for a reason [20:22] I suddenly realise that I'm quite spoiled at home http://www.speedtest.net/result/2192179811.png [20:22] argh [20:23] Every time I click on the bottom of a window that's at the bottom of my screen, it half-maximizes as if I had dragged it to the top right corner [20:23] popey: a point well made. Though the bottle is in another room and I am comfy [20:23] i have a friend whose girlfriend has OCD, she takes a photo of the front door every day on the way to work because she obsesses she didn tlock it [20:23] o.O [20:23] Poor lady [20:24] Admitidly I did go back and check that I had locked the door this morning [20:24] Admittedly [20:25] bigcalm_laptop, this is my BT results http://www.speedtest.net/result/2192183954.png [20:27] skipton.. [20:27] * popey makes notes in his.. uh.. database [20:27] * mgdm drove through somewhere called Skipton the other day [20:27] I'm more near Scarborough [20:27] http://www.speedtest.net/result/2192188093.png [20:27] perhaps not the same one, though [20:28] mattt: that's what I get at home [20:28] Same ISP [20:28] http://www.speedtest.net/result/2192190362.png -- still waiting for fibre :( [20:29] MartijnVdS: that's perfectly good [20:29] unless you pirate all day long [20:29] bigcalm_laptop: yeah, virgin is great, but we had a wicked 1+ day outage last weekend [20:30] http://www.speedtest.net/result/2192192795.png better in the office [20:30] mattt: I'm supposed to get 100/100 (or even 1000/1000!) fibre, but apparently it's hard to get from ground level to the 7th [20:30] MartijnVdS: 8| [20:30] mattt: fibre has sticking out of the ground for more than a year now :( [20:30] AlanBell, that's great! upload speeds [20:30] AlanBell: coventry? [20:31] MartijnVdS: ah man, what a tease [20:31] MartijnVdS: can't move down to ground floor? :D [20:31] mattt: nah, there's nothing there except the entrance :) [20:32] mattt: can't afford a house.. twice as expensive as my flat :) [20:32] mattt: nope, Farnham [20:32] fibre to the cabinet. Apparently I should be getting a much faster download speed than I actually get [20:32] wonder if it is faster plugged directly into the router . . . [20:33] MartijnVdS: where are you again? [20:33] mattt: Netherlands, Alphen aan den Rijn [20:34] MartijnVdS: middle of nowhere, surely property is cheaper there :) [20:34] (kidding) [20:34] mattt: nah that's Groningen :) [20:34] (really, I can get a farm with lots of land out there for the same I get a 3-bedroom flat here) [20:34] MartijnVdS: is the coast there nice? [20:35] mattt: it tends to be, yes.. but it's VERY busy in summer [20:36] MartijnVdS: so what keeps you in alphen aan den rijn? [20:37] mattt: Family, friends, inertia [20:37] the fact that the cities around it are even more expensive :) [20:39] http://www.speedtest.net/result/2192207951.png [20:40] looks like my wifi is a bit of a bottleneck [20:40] AlanBell: woah [20:40] faster then 97% of UK! [20:42] yup [20:42] those are impressive speeds for home [20:42] hmm, no window decoration and unity --reset is now deprecated [20:42] who broke it?? [20:43] MartijnVdS: do you work from home ? [20:43] mattt: no.. well.. sometimes [20:45] wow.. I thought popey posted a lot on G+ [20:45] MartijnVdS: easy to find work where you're at? [20:45] But NASA posts more. [20:46] mattt: As a computer programmer, there's always work :) But I've had my current job for 7 years now :) [20:46] MartijnVdS: like furniture! [20:47] czajkowski: did your unity drop window decorations earlier? [20:51] AlanBell: yup [20:52] AlanBell: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1053288 [20:52] Ubuntu bug 1053288 in unity (Ubuntu) "Broken UI and no window management" [Critical,Confirmed] [20:52] have you updated to unity 6.6.6.6.6? [20:52] the unity of the beast? [20:53] popey: slept most of the day and dentist so not done any updates [20:54] unity 6.6.0 [20:55] thanks czajkowski, reading that now [20:55] popey: how do I find out what version I'm running [20:55] apt-cache policy unity [20:55] pastebinit [20:55] I did unity --version [20:55] same result though, 6.6.0 [20:55] apt-cache policy is more handy because it shows where you got it from [20:56] yeah, that is more detailed [20:56] popey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1217594/ [20:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1217595/ [20:56] czajkowski, you need to a) make sure you have -proposed enabled in software sources, and b) do an update [20:58] popey: tis ticked [20:58] doing update now [20:58] popey: also wondering should some of these be ticked http://twitpic.com/awocqw/full [20:59] no [20:59] updates tab only [20:59] popey: why the difference in http://twitpic.com/awod0c/full [20:59] 128 V 131 [21:00] czajkowski: the counter takes a while to update sometimes [21:00] 128+3 = 131 [21:00] czajkowski: if you click 'Update' (not upgrade!) in the update-notifier app it should sync up [21:00] oh [21:00] and what popey says :) [21:00] popey: 131-3 = 128 [21:01] look at the text [21:01] czajkowski: 128 + 3 newly installed = 131 [21:01] it says 128 and 3 new which makes 131 [21:01] ba I am special today [21:01] sorry [21:01] :) [21:01] np :) [21:01] interesting that you ran apt [21:01] * czajkowski has to have her tooth YOINKED out in hospital :s [21:01] even though update manager already open and ready to go :) [21:01] Zzz o'clock. [21:01] nn MartijnVdS [21:02] it's growing down crooked into my jaw :( [21:02] czajkowski: :( good luck! [21:02] czajkowski: have them replace it with a cybernetic implant [21:03] bigcalm_laptop: The czajkowskinator? [21:03] czajkowski: that looks like a decorated window! [21:03] you have title bars and scroll bars and everything [21:04] get you! [21:04] argh [21:04] AlanBell: you missed my fun morning of removing things [21:04] what are you doing advising people to enable -proposed?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! [21:05] chortle [21:05] Laney: hello sunshine! [21:05] oh hello! [21:05] I just had to turn an old peep show off because it was too cringeworthy [21:05] Laney: now what's wrong with -proposed [21:05] 7% battery life remaining, maybe I should plug in [21:05] in the development release it's not supposed to be used by people [21:06] it's how you accidently get half of your system removed [21:06] or your cat ends up being shaved, things like that [21:06] bigcalm_laptop: spotify:track:2g2GhWq7Bm6NoTjvBSr3jp ;) [21:07] the whole reason unity and friends are uploaded there is because they are supposed to be kept in sync [21:07] so the whole stack is built in proposed and then copied to release when it's ready to be used by human beans [21:07] and ccsm STILL breaks :) [21:08] ccsm does *not* break [21:08] ccsm enables breakage in other things [21:08] AlanBell: when I start ccsm, it resets a bunch of settings, and I can't make changes I make with it stick [21:08] Laney, they _are_ in sync, and after we can disable -proposed again [21:08] (are they not)? [21:09] I don't know [21:09] * AlanBell observes he is fully updated from proposed and still broken [21:09] something else there might not be though. [21:09] AlanBell: dconf-editor lets me edit those settings (sloppy focus, autoraise delay, Alt instead of Super to move windows) [21:09] fair point [21:10] Laney: -proposed is not always disabled when upgrading to a dev release though [21:10] MartijnVdS: yeah, reloading the compiz plugin stack can still be a bit fragile, but unity does allow you to sneeze in the same room as it these days, way way better than it was [21:10] Laney: if you had it enabled in a non-dev release [21:10] correct [21:10] which is why I had proposed ticked I think [21:10] AlanBell: I can't configure it anymore. That's not better than it was :) [21:10] I have a fix to Launchpad to make it not harmful to have it enabled [21:10] Laney: pinning? [21:11] but it depends on another bug fix elsewhere [21:11] kind of [21:12] anyway.. reall sleep time now :) [21:13] Laney: if you break lp you'll feel my wrath! [21:14] but the review and landing process is so thorough that breaking LP isn't possible :-) [21:16] Laney: if you break it I will be cranky [21:16] :) [21:17] it's only soyuz, what could possibly go wrong? [21:17] * popey cynisism meter and my sarcasmatron have both spontaneously exploded [21:17] Laney: see now you just jinxeed yourself! [21:17] \o/ [21:18]
