* Laney was impressed yesterday when his new machine booted straight into the old Ubuntu installation, without problem08:48
popeygot the new box all built then Laney ?08:48
Laneyyep08:49
Laneyno blood08:49
popeyyou should benchmark it08:49
Laneythe only dubious thing is that the SSD doesn't fit into my case08:49
Laneyso it's just sitting in a drive bay :(08:49
popey time perl -e 'for($i=0;$i<1e8;$i++) { }'08:49
popeyrun that :)08:49
LaneyI got a 7.7 on the Windows Experience Index™©®08:49
popeyhttp://www.hants.lug.org.uk/wiki/HugoRandomBenchmark  add to the benchmark list :)08:49
AlanBellneed a multicore version of that08:50
gordrun it in multiple terminals at once!08:51
popeyi7 does turbo though08:51
popeyso it still should be fast08:51
popeyone day we'll have to make it 1e9 :)08:51
Laney2.958 total08:51
popeyyou win!08:51
AlanBellso how would you get it to fork 10 of them at once and time it until the last one finishes?08:52
AlanBellor 24 of them for example :)08:53
* Laney is running y-crunchers08:54
Laneyy-cruncher08:54
gordsounds like a cereal08:54
diploI think it's time for me to save for an upgrade, what ball park figure did you spend laney?08:54
Laneyjust over 1k08:54
diploHmm, bigger than I can afford, I do remember you probably specced it a tad higher than i would have though08:55
diplo:)08:55
AlanBellI am puzzled by it running faster in a kvm guest than on the host08:55
Laneyyeah, well, I tend to keep my machines for a long time08:55
LaneyI'll probably have this for 5 years or so08:55
diploMine are 5-6 years old08:55
diploI used to upgrade them every year if not more often08:55
diploThen I had 2 children :D08:55
Laneyyeah, they're much higher spec than your computer08:56
diploheh08:57
gordAlanBell, significantly faster? in a kvm guest pure computation should be equal so any deviation can usually be put down to outside sources08:57
AlanBellreal 0m6.390s in the guest vs real 0m7.424s in the host08:57
AlanBelland it is consistent and reproduceable on several machines08:58
AlanBellmaybe a bit of variability in that actually, but certainly there is no performance penalty for being in a guest for single core operations09:00
Laneystarted playing portal 2 last night09:02
* Laney is living that xkcd09:02

bigcalmGood morning peeps :)09:09
bigcalmAnybody set-up an IPSec server in linux?09:09
czajkowskialoha09:26
awilkinsStupid question ; anyone know how to make a clone of a git branch such that all the references are identical - ie, the new clone has the same remotes, not the repo you just cloned as remotes09:27
awilkinsASide from cp -r09:28
einonmawilkins: I think whenever I've done that, I've just edited the .git/config file afterwards. There is probably an easier way - maybe #git would help if no one else here can?09:45
awilkinsMaybe... Google isn't helping much, too many articles with "git, clone, remote" in them09:46
xnoxawilkins: git clone --mirror09:59
xnoxyou may also want --bare10:00
awilkinsxnox, --mirror implies --bare10:01
awilkinsBut you have provoked me to look at --mirror again10:02
awilkinsShame there's no "not bare" option10:02
awilkinsThe answer seems to be...10:02
xnoxawilkins: ah, ok. is that what you wanted? alternative is to write .git/config where fetch=refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* (which is what mirror does)10:02
awilkinsmkdir new-clone10:02
awilkinsgit clone --mirror old-clone new-clone/.git10:02
xnoxbut you'll want to fetch tags as well with fetch=refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*10:03
awilkinscd new-clone10:03
awilkinsgit config --local --bool core.bare false10:03
awilkinsgit checkout10:03
awilkinsNot a one-liner but you end up with what I wanted10:04
xnoxawilkins:  a branch deleted on the remote host, will not be deleted locally.10:04
xnox(NB!)10:04
xnox=)10:04
awilkinsDoesn't clone the SVN metadata10:07
xnoxawilkins: no. it clones object store only & branch ref.10:07
xnoxawilkins: no. it clones object store only & branch refs10:07
xnoxawilkins: you will need to either have svn metadata in the commit messages or tarball the whole repo and make it available for download.10:08
xnoxin the former case you will need to "re-initialize" in the later you will be good to go.10:08
davmor2Morning all10:08
mungojerrythis may sound silly but how do i configure a channel to connect in xchat? it's bizarre10:20
mungojerryit doesn't seem to have an accounts section10:20
popeyXchat -> Network list10:22
popeyChoose a network -> edit10:22
DJonesClick edit on the network and there is a favourite channels10:22
popeythere's a "Favorite channels" where you list then10:22
popey#foo,#bar,#baz10:23
bigcalmAlso, you can right-click on a channel name that you are already connected to and select 'Add to Favorites'10:24
mungojerrythanks popey i missed the favourite channels bit10:24
mungojerrycool tip bigcalm ta10:24
bigcalmYou're welcome10:24
* bigcalm returns to shouting at IPSec10:24
mungojerryanother one...how does one move the notifications in gnome?10:28
mungojerryto top of screen10:28
mungojerry(might not get an answer in here)10:28
YaManicKillgnome shell?10:28
YaManicKillI don't think you can10:28
mungojerryyeah10:28
mungojerryoh :(10:28
YaManicKillhttp://askubuntu.com/questions/80942/pin-notifications-to-toppanel-in-gnome-shell10:29
YaManicKillmy bad, I was wrong, there is an extension apparently10:29
YaManicKilloh wait...ignore that, I didn't read it properly10:29
mungojerrysweet10:30
YaManicKillis that what you were wanting, or do you mean the popup notifications? or the other notification icons like dropbox etc?10:30
mungojerryi mean when someone mentions me in irc10:30
YaManicKilloh ok yeah let me investigate more :-P10:30
YaManicKillhow about this? https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/243/shell-osd/10:32
YaManicKillI'd love to go back to Gnome-shell sometime...but the bug that stops me using it is still there I think10:32
YaManicKillnot being able to have multiple x-screens10:32
bigcalm!info freeswan10:33
lubotu3`Package freeswan does not exist in precise10:33
bigcalm:(10:33
diploWhat are you using ipsec for bigcalm ?10:33
mungojerryYaManicKill, i have 2 screens but in twinview10:33
NET||abuseso was going to setup my microserver lastnight10:33
bigcalmdiplo: connecting iDigi devices to a main server10:33
NET||abuseturns out i need an additional sata connector to be able to put a drive in the optical drive bay10:34
NET||abusedarnit10:34
mungojerryneed to remember how to restore the minimise button10:34
YaManicKillmungojerry: yeah, my problem is I have 4 monitors over 2 graphics cards. And with nvidia, you can't use more than 2 monitors on twinview10:34
mungojerryi'm using it to see if the cinnamon bug is manifested in gnome shell10:34
bigcalmdiplo: the main server will eventually have a hardware firewall and IPSec VPN. But for my own testing, I need to set up IPSec10:34
YaManicKilland you can't have multiple graphics cards using the same xscreen.10:34
diploWe use IPSec vpns, but as part of SMEServer ( yuck ) it works but can be a pita!10:34
popeyNET||abuse, moved my microserver to another room, so peaceful in my den now10:35
YaManicKillNET||abuse: you don't have another sata cable just lying around? what sort of geek are you? ;-)10:35
bigcalmdiplo: I'm new to getting things working. Have less than a day left now :)10:35
bigcalmLets see if I can get it working on the Debian 6.0 server instead of Ubuntu 12.0410:35
diploaha, they sound like my old dead lines10:35
NET||abuseyeh, just remembered where my geek case is, full of innards from previous systems10:35
NET||abusejust moved house so my bits are in boxes everywhere10:36
YaManicKillnow that's more like it :-P10:36
bigcalmNope, it's not in Debian either. Tarballs it is!10:36
NET||abusestill a bit discombobulated from the move :)10:36
YaManicKillright...time for some haskell programming10:36
NET||abuseone thing i don't have is a keyboard :P10:36
mungojerrycan someone mention my name pls?10:37
YaManicKillmungojerry: bonjour10:37
mungojerryworks sweet10:37
NET||abusemigth need a roll of cat5e to try and run the mungojerry to through a cable hole in the wall to the study10:37
YaManicKillmungojerry: awesome, I'll have to try that next time I use gnome-shell again10:38
bigcalm!info openswan10:40

bigcalmAha, that's a better option. Considering the last release of freeswan was in 200410:40
mungojerrywhat's the point of the top bar in chrome that only shows one app running?10:42
mungojerrys/chrome/gnome shell/10:42
mungojerryjust shows the app in focus..pretty pointless10:43
mungojerrythis one's nice https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/327/axe-menu/10:47
mungojerryquicker than unity for me too10:47
YaManicKilllooks interesting10:48

davmor2czajkowski: happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!10:51
czajkowskidavmor2: thank you10:51
davmor2czajkowski: why are you trying to report a bug on skype to ubuntu they can't fix it10:51
czajkowskiyes but it should at least tell your what packages are not installed10:52
czajkowskisome sort of debugging10:52
czajkowskisome information10:52
czajkowskinot nothing and then close10:52
czajkowskiirksome!10:52
davmor2czajkowski: pick on evan10:53

popeyin ~/.Skype10:58
popeycreate a directory called Logs10:59
popey(both case sensitive)10:59
popeythen restart skype10:59
popeyit should create a timestamp logfile in there10:59
popey(which is useless, because it's a binary format)11:00
popeybut you can then report the issue to skype themselves11:00
czajkowskiahh11:00
NET||abusewith skype i usually createa  directory in home for each skype identity i have11:00
davmor2czajkowski: https://support.skype.com/en-gb/ is the place to start looking to file the issue with skype too11:00
NET||abusethen you can create a shortcut on your desktop with --dbpath=~/.Skype_myskypuser11:01
NET||abuseczajkowski: so if there's some options your flicked around in your profile, create a new dbpath directory and launch skype with this new directory and see if it also does the same thing11:02
NET||abusepopey: good call on the Logs directory, didn't know bout htat11:03

AlanBellyup11:43
diploOK, on it's way down11:43

popeyi just use xbmc on top of ubuntu11:49
popeyI'm not one for fiddled about with distros11:50
diploheh, I'm still on 9.04 running eden on mine11:54
diploJust a lot of improvements in the xbmcbuntu it seems11:54
diploSo thought I'd give it a try11:54
mungojerryanyone know where to get a tv stand like they use in schools?11:57
mungojerrythe wheeled stand11:57
davmor2mungojerry: ikea might staples might11:58
mungojerryi'm in a wasteland round here, think i might default to amazon12:01
matttmungojerry: yeah, i know where12:06
matttit involves a time machine tho12:07
matttsince no one uses those any more :)12:07
mungojerryorly?12:07
mungojerryi see them used a lot12:07
mungojerrybecause you can't always fix big screens to walls12:07
matttgot a picture?12:07
mungojerryor you want a mobile solution12:07
mattti'm sure you can get those at ikea, but they're quite low to the ground12:08
mungojerryi found what i wanted http://www.amazon.co.uk/FS1031-Exhibition-Display-Trolley-Mounting/dp/B005ZBI2IQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1349265462&sr=8-312:08
matttthat is ugly12:09
matttwhere are you putting this tv?12:09
mungojerryin an office12:09
matttoh12:09
mungojerryand sometimes another office12:09
matttthen that's not ugly12:09
mungojerrynope ;)12:10
matttthat'd look terrible at home :)12:10
mungojerryi don't have a posh telly at home12:10
matttand i'm all for practicality12:10
popeywhat is a "posh" telly?12:11
mungojerrylCD12:11
mungojerry..something with hdmi...12:11
mungojerryi have a crt12:12
gorda telly where the remote control named "Jeeves"12:12
mungojerrylol12:12
mungojerrycannot get gnome shell to not say "unavailable" in chat12:13
mungojerrywonder if i have to install empathy12:13
popeyour remote is called 'frank'12:14
popeyall of them12:14
matttyour wife's called rank?12:14
mattt*frank12:14
* mattt retracts12:14
* mattt shows himself out12:14
popeyFrank Zappa12:14
mungojerryi'm kind of seeing linus' point about the extension nightmare with gnome shell12:14
popeygord, are the yellow sweets sour?12:14
gordthats the thing, not really no12:15
BigRedS mungojerry is that the one where every time you upgrade gnome you have to edit a bunch of extensions to make them work again?12:15
BigRedSthat's a big bit of the reason I've started using Unity again12:15
mungojerryyeah, i'm expecting that will happen12:15
popeythe picture of the mans face suggests they might be12:15
BigRedSthat and Unity losing a lot of the insane12:15
gordalso, popey is banned from puns12:15
mungojerryBigRedS, its the small things in unity that i cant change that bug me12:16
BigRedSyeah, most of mine are now changeable as of 12.1012:16
mungojerrybuttons on the right? movable launcher?12:16
BigRedSeven if it did take me *weeks* to find the desktop size thing12:16
mungojerryproper global menu disable is coming right?12:16
popeynot in this release12:16
mungojerryi sort of have GS running like gnome2 ....sort of12:17
BigRedSnah, crazy alt-tab, launcher that hardly ever opens, almost-analogue for Gnome's start-button behaviour12:17
BigRedSmost importantly, if I use alt-tab it always takes me to the window I asked for12:17
BigRedSI am amused, though, that now that widescreen monitors are ubiquitous, both Gnome and Unity keep a largely useless unhiding bar of about 16px at the top of the screen occupied12:18
mungojerryGS still has a super annoying bug where the screen with the screen unlock dialog is not shown (screen remains black) so you have to type your password blindly into the computer12:19
mungojerry(nvidia with 2 screens)12:19
BigRedSooh, I never had that, I'm running nvidia with 2 screens12:20
mungojerryGS?12:20
BigRedSI was12:20
BigRedSthis was on Ubuntu; is that where you're running it?12:21
BigRedS(this was also a while ago, early 12.04 beta)12:21
mungojerrylock screen ,come back 10 mins later and can't wake up other screen which the password box is always on12:21
mungojerryrunning 12.0412:21
BigRedShmm, weird12:22
mungojerryyeah, pretty annoying in open plan office12:24
BigRedSyeah, I can imagine12:26
mungojerryhmm empathy doesn't connect to my jabber server :S12:32
mungojerryfail12:32
BigRedSempathy's not supposed to *work*12:40
BigRedSGnome appears to be favouring some IM-built-in-to-the-DE thingy, and everyone else just uses Pidgin12:41
BigRedSwhich is a shame, because those pop-up thingies that empathy and gnome3 do for replying to IM is _so_ useful12:41
davmor2BigRedS: gnome are using empathy it just has a gnomeshell plugin12:44
BigRedSdavmor2: ah yeah, I just reread where I got that from. They're moving towards configuring it in gnome shell (and not in empathy's own menu hierarchy)12:45
davmor2BigRedS: which is the same as in Quantal you use online accounts to set empathy clients up12:46
BigRedSheh, yeah, something like that12:46
BigRedSI didn't understand what it was asking so used Pidgin12:46
BigRedSespecially since Unity doesn't do those popups12:47
davmor2BigRedS: it does do the popups you just trigger emapthy to interact with them.  done deliberately too, to make you more productive apparently :)12:48
BigRedSooh! How do I 'trigger empathy' to make them work?12:49
popeywoohoo! got my power monitor working again12:51
popeyhttp://popey.com/house/12:51
davmor2BigRedS: So what I mean is you click on empathy contact in the indicator menu, but you should see the meassages popup top right12:52
BigRedSAhh, It's particularly being able to interact with the popup that I'm after.12:53
BigRedSWell, I'll have a fiddle with it anyway12:54
davmor2BigRedS: you might be able to trigger something in the bowls of dconf-editor maybe12:55
mungojerrydiscovered my empathy jabber issue is a WONTFIX12:56
mungojerryso i'm confined to pidgin12:56
BigRedSdavmor2: ah yeah, pidgin's workable enough that I'll probably never get round to looking. And Empathy's really rather buggy even in g-s13:01
BigRedSmungojerry: which bug's that?13:01
diplopopey: Can you remind me what you use for that, would like to buy a unit as mine doesn't have any connection options at present13:52
diploUsing 900watts fairly constantly!13:52
popeyits a currentcost13:53
diplothats it ta13:53
issyl0Hello.14:21
BigRedSHello!14:22
Olipopey: ~1KW seems like loads for daytime idling... what's turned on?14:25
OliFor comparison we're using ~450Wh for me on my desktop (beefy), 3 4W LED GU10 bulbs in the office, TV et al on standby, standard kitchen jazz and about 20 idling switching power supplies14:28
OliAnd well over half that is this desktop (i7, nvidia card, two 24" ccrd monitors14:29
AlanBellis it really using that much or is that just what the sticker on the side of the PSU says?14:30
andylockranhey guys14:41
andylockranif I run file_get_contents($url) from one server, it works fine - but from another, it generates a 408 timeout14:42
diploNothing in the logs of the second server andylockran ?14:44
andylockrandiplo - from my local machine it works14:45
diplo/var/log/apache2/error.log or access.log or even messages ?14:45
andylockranfrom a client's server, I've done a strace, and it seems to hang and timeout14:45

diplo?14:45
diploOn the client14:45

diploNo other details in the any of the logs ?14:45
KrimZon_2does anyone know how to get ecryptfs to mount another user's home automatically at login?14:46
diploI'm guessing not a public url we could try and reproduce here for you ?14:46
andylockranit is a public url14:46
KrimZon_2I can do it manually, but I've no idea how to set that stuff up for ecryptfs to do it automatically at login14:46
andylockranwww.andyloughran.co.uk/test.html14:47
andylockranit's the clientside php that's failing on the clients server14:47
andylockranbasically, file_get_contents() is timing out, and I've no idea why14:47
andylockranbut can't see a firewall on the machine, but think it's an openvz container, with the host controlled by a third party14:47
andylockranbut the thing that confuses me is that wget works fine, so it only appears to be php that's blocked14:48
AlanBellrelease party is all a bit more confirmed now14:48
diploThat's what I was saying earlier, is to look at clients server logs but I guess you don't have access ?14:48
AlanBellhttp://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-uk/2006/detail/14:48
andylockranI have full access at both ends (to the VM)14:48

andylockranthat's what the strace shows14:50
diploSorry got the wrong end of the stick, i thought you were trying to get http://clientsside/test.html and that wasn't working, not php to test.html on yours14:52
diploside=site*14:52
andylockranah, ok14:54
diploJust thinking now :P14:54
andylockranyeah, so the client site does some php fopen shizzle to get xml feed & things like google maps14:54
andylockranand basically my problem is that php is no longer able to access http streams - and I haven't the foggiest why14:54
andylockranit's still registered streams14:55

andylockranyeah, I've checked it loads and even set it at the top of my script to doubly confirm15:12

diploNo other stuff at all15:14
andylockranyeah, that's how I've been testing it15:14
diplooh :(15:14
andylockranjust a simple file_get_contents("www.andyloughran.co.uk/test.html");15:14
diploAnd php error logs are outputting nothing ?15:14
andylockranthey output a php Warning, but php seems to internally timeout15:15
andylockranhttp://dpaste.com/809412/15:16
andylockranthere's the script15:16
andylockranI ran it through strace to see what extra info I could pick up15:16
andylockransee: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php#10696915:17
diploAnother thing I keep reading is, don't use file_Get_contents use cURL it's about 20x faster15:18

locodir-userdoes anyone know how to do yahoo/msn video chat in linux?19:04
AlanBellpidgin or empathy probably do it19:04
locodir-userthats great19:05
AlanBelldunno about video though19:05
AlanBellgoogle hangouts seem to be the way forward for video19:05
locodir-userok19:06
locodir-usernever tried though. I have recently installed linux19:06
AlanBellexcellent19:06
locodir-userI am not an expert, but sometimes bit frustrated when I cannot use the software i previously used19:07
davmor2AlanBell: emapthy does video whether it works with windows clients is entirely hit and miss though19:08
AlanBellyeah, there is loads of new things to ise though19:08
AlanBelluse even19:08
locodir-useryes indeed19:08
brobostigonthere was an msn client, that several years ago, did msn video, however, i think due to msn protocol changes, that became impossible again.19:08
locodir-useroh19:08
AlanBellI don't have any friends that use windows19:08
AlanBellproblem solved \o/19:09
brobostigonlocodir-user: due to the msn protocol being closed, it has had to be reverse engineered.19:09
davmor2brobostigon: if I am right then it is using the same protocol as facebook and googlechat19:09
MartijnVdSAlanBell: family then?19:09
brobostigondavmor2: theose use jabber/xmpp19:09
locodir-userit is good to have Linux and I am spreading the news. but, it is a bit problematic when u cant use the same services19:10
AlanBellparents are on ubuntu19:10
davmor2brobostigon: precisely there was a big hoohar about it a while ago19:10
brobostigondavmor2: i doub it very much, microsoft, will have choosen to use an open protocol like xmpp.19:10
brobostigondoubt*19:10
locodir-userso, gentleman/ ladies, that is the best software i can try to connect with my yahoo/msn messenger friends?19:11
AlanBellI guess it is like BBN on blackberry or facetime on apple, closed community of users19:12
MartijnVdSlocodir-user: the built-in "empathy" client will do that for you just fine19:12
brobostigoni agree with MartijnVdS19:12
MartijnVdSlocodir-user: you can configure it by clicking on the envelope in the top bar19:12
locodir-userthanks everyone19:12
MartijnVdSand then going online19:12
MartijnVdSI think19:12
davmor2brobostigon: http://blog.process-one.net/on_msn_live_messenger_adopting_xmpp/19:12
brobostigondavmor2: very weird, ok, let me read.19:13
davmor2brobostigon: there are pages of that on google19:13
brobostigondavmor2: it is somewhat hard to believe as you can imagine.19:13
davmor2brobostigon: I think it was an attempt to be able to keep a single client talking on facebook, google and msn all from messenger so MS could keep control of the app to be honest but it still made OS clients more reliable with messenger19:16
jacobwi really hope they do that19:17
brobostigondavmor2: question is, what are the xmpp server parameters and details, so i can point bitlbee at it?19:17
locodir-userI have empathy installed19:18
locodir-userlets see19:18
davmor2brobostigon: does this help http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-CA/messengerconnect/thread/b1f0929f-84af-4baf-937a-94d5d8a338b719:18
brobostigondavmor2: let me read.19:19
davmor2brobostigon: the other thing you can do is look at the source for telepathy butterfly iirc that might point you in the right direction19:20
brobostigondavmor2: agreed, yes, like bitlbee. but if they do use xmpp for msn, then why, does stuff like msn video not work, when within xmpp it works fine? wouldnt you think, they made it interoperable, or xmpp clients could communicate end to end.19:22
locodir-userhi again everyone- I have installed empathy. but the video call facility is grayed out. any solutions?19:22
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: because those are extensions to XMPP19:22
MartijnVdSand every vendor made its own extensions19:22
brobostigonMartijnVdS: yes, true,19:22
MartijnVdSyay...19:22
brobostigonMartijnVdS: good point,19:22
MartijnVdSalso, firewall/NAT traversal might not be universal19:22
davmor2brobostigon: from what I understand it is our codecs no being supported by msn messenger iirc19:22
brobostigontrue.19:22
brobostigondavmor2: ok, maybe, yes, also.19:23
brobostigonlocodir-user: video for which protocol. ?19:23
MartijnVdSyes!19:23
davmor2brobostigon: from what I remember audio works but video was hit and miss19:23
locodir-userguys, what you are talking about is like GREEK to me (with due respect to Greeks)19:24
locodir-useri loged into yahoo messenger and trying to ring another user19:24
brobostigondavmor2: when i last tried, both were non-functyional.19:24
locodir-userhope, this make sence19:24
locodir-useri can see the video calling facility19:24
locodir-userbut it is grayes out19:24
locodir-usergrayed out19:24
brobostigonlocodir-user: that says, it is non-supported,19:25
locodir-useroh19:25
locodir-userok19:25
locodir-useris there any other software that i can use to make video call to yahoo friends?19:25
davmor2locodir-user: try installing an app called cheese and lets make sure that your linux system is using your webcam correctly19:25
locodir-userok19:26
davmor2locodir-user: cheese is a little app a bit like photobooth so it's all local but will at least let you know if it is working19:26
locodir-userok sir19:27
locodir-useri am doing it now19:27
AlanBelllooks like for videos in Empathy it is Google Talk, MSN , Jabber , and SIP19:27
SilaeHi19:27
AlanBellempathy talks lots of chat protocols, all in one client rather than messing about with squillions of them like on windows19:28
locodir-useryes i can understand19:28
AlanBellbut not all of the protocols support video in a way that anything other than the official client can use19:28
AlanBellhi Silae19:28
AlanBellskype and google plus hangouts are what I know to work reliably19:29
AlanBellbut that is mostly because I don't know anyone with an MSN account or whatever19:29
SilaeIs this the correct channel to ask questions concerning issues with ubuntu? (I have taken up Ubuntu in the last 2-3 months)19:29
brobostigoni know one person with msn, and when i video her, we use skype.19:30
AlanBellSilae: sure, ask away19:30
SilaeI have dual ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4870s, which I would like to crossfire (using the proprietary drivers) in order to run Guild Wars 2 within Wine, after following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI, I have ended up in the unfortunate situation that with the xorg.conf that AMD creates, it is displaying the second graphics screen on the monitor rather than the first graphics card19:33
locodir-userhi all19:34
locodir-usermsn is the same. video call facility is grayedout19:34
SilaeI haven't enable crossfire yet and the second graphics card screen is simply a white screen with an 'x' shaped cursor19:34
brobostigonlocodir-user: did you do as davmor2 suggested, to make sure your camera is properly supported by ubuntu?19:35
locodir-useryes19:35
locodir-useri have installed it19:35
brobostigonlocodir-user: does it recognise your cameras properly?19:36
locodir-userwhen i open it, i can see myself19:36
brobostigonlocodir-user: thats good, :)19:36
locodir-useryes19:36
davmor2locodir-user: okay good so if there is an issue then it is only with the client so we can rule out hardware issues19:36
locodir-userok19:36
brobostigonlocodir-user: try a program called amsn, that used to work many years ago, with msn video, that is all i can think of.19:37
davmor2locodir-user: in software-center type in telepathy-farsight and let me know if it is installed please19:37
locodir-userok one sec19:37
locodir-userno19:38
Silaejust to add clarification I am fairly certain is utilising the second graphics card since at the point of logging in the screen is black but I can type my password and login. However I will be taken to that white desktop, but I can take my mouse to the supposed screen from the first graphics card19:38
davmor2locodir-user: install that19:38
davmor2locodir-user: then try a video chat on msn again19:39
locodir-userok19:39

ahayzenpopey, do you reckon the long term plan is to have panel opacity on as default or not?20:49
popeyno idea20:49
ahayzenit would be nice... with the maximized window toggle on... just the menus look slightly out of place (not being transparent)20:50
AlanBellahayzen: I suspect the panel will match the launcher and menus will drop down like the hud and dash, with the corners blending into the panel like it is all one thing20:51
ahayzenAlanBell, that would be nice ;)20:51
AlanBelljust like the HUD, but not tied to the left corner20:52
ahayzenlightdm has a transparent bar doesn't it?20:52
AlanBellthere was a plan to put all kinds of funky widgets in the HUD, not sure what happened to that concept20:53
popeythere was?20:53
ahayzenI remember seeing that20:53
popeythere were concepts20:53

popeybut let me know how you get on :)21:21
AlanBellhmm, it is cheap21:21
popeythe enclosure is used by many far eastern companies21:22
popeythe guts differ wildly21:22
AlanBellI believe the talkback speaker is windows IE only21:22

popeycan you check that video for me pls?21:29
popeyiron Sky is good fun!21:30
AlanBellyes, dash full screen is a bit slow, there is lag when not maximised too21:34
AlanBellbit faster on the small screen where there are less pixels to push21:34
popeypls confirm21:34
AlanBellbug #?21:34
bigcalmI have the blu ray of Iron Sky, yet to watch it though. Hayley doesn't seem interested :(21:34
popeyin the description :)21:34
popeyof the video21:35
popeyi watched prometheus last night, that was fun21:35

popeybah, i didnt file a bug for it21:36
* popey hugs AlanBell 21:36
AlanBelllol21:36
popeyi made the video, showed some unity devs21:36
popeythey suggested turning off blur21:37
popeywhich I did, and it was still pretty slow21:37
popey:(21:37
popeydidnt file a bug because I felt like nobody considered it an actual bug21:37
popeywhich I do, given it's an i721:37
AlanBellblur is going to take a bit of computation from the GPU, but I am guessing some of the delay is retrieving the icons to display21:38
popeythat shoudl be cached21:39
popeyif you watch the video its slow every time21:39
popeythe whole lot should be running in cache21:39
popeygiven how many times I stabbed it and how little else was happening21:39
AlanBelljankey21:44
gordpopey, its not cpu limited, its gpu limited. likely bad drivers blocking when they shouldn't when creating certain ogl things like framebuffers21:47
