| christel | thyself? | 08:39 |
| JamesTait | I'm a little cold, and a little sniffly, but overall not too bad. :) | 08:40 |
| popey | AlanBell, ta | 08:41 |
| mungojerry | hi guys, got a question...i want to use 2 low powered laptops as single purpose irc workstations - any thoughts? mininmal linux install, any kind of DE recommended? or just use console ? | 08:44 |
| mungojerry | want to boot quicklly and straight into the irc session. | 08:46 |
| dwatkins | I use lubuntu and have an SSD in my netbook, boots in about 8 seconds, mungojerry | 08:48 |
| mungojerry | i want lighter weight than lubuntu or xfce even dwatkins | 08:49 |
| mungojerry | these are gonna be old laptops | 08:49 |
| mungojerry | no budget for new stuff | 08:49 |
| dwatkins | you could uninstall X-windows, I guess | 08:49 |
| mungojerry | and want only wifi and text based irc client | 08:49 |
| dwatkins | not sure if there's a Debian text-only distro any more | 08:49 |
| popey | you can do a text-only ubuntu install | 09:00 |
| popey | and then install irssi or whatever text based irc client you want | 09:00 |
| mungojerry | i was thinking of doing that, wondered if there was a better solution | 09:17 |
| === gry is now known as Gryllida | ||
| popey | whats the use case? | 09:22 |
| popey | you just want a dedicated irc machine? | 09:22 |
| popey | what spec are the laptops, I mean you saiud "low powered", how low? | 09:23 |
| AlanBell | mungojerry: I would install a desktop to get the font handling | 09:23 |
| mungojerry | popey, in a setup where sound engineers are communicating with each other over wifi during setup, soundcheck and during the live events, occuring on a weekly basis. its chartiable and there's no budget, however i can probably get some lower spec laptops to use | 09:24 |
| mungojerry | by lower spec i'm not sure but i want lightweight single purpose devices | 09:24 |
| popey | who will connect them to wifi? | 09:24 |
| popey | that's not straightforward on the command line | 09:25 |
| popey | I'd go for crunchbang personally | 09:25 |
| mungojerry | is that using openbox nowadays? | 09:25 |
| mungojerry | one of the laptops will run the irc server too | 09:26 |
| mungojerry | because the wifi will be internal | 09:26 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone, | 09:26 |
| andyc | You can use netcfg to connect to wifi from the command line | 09:26 |
| mungojerry | i thought wpa supplicant did it | 09:27 |
| mungojerry | and created a config file | 09:28 |
| andyc | Yes: It wasn't much fun last time I tried it though | 09:28 |
| popey | are these two laptops the only two devices talking to eachother? | 09:33 |
| popey | i.e. no other machines? | 09:33 |
| hoover | hi folks | 09:34 |
| mungojerry | popey, probably, although others may be added (and even mobile devices possibly). i considered cat5 but i don't think its possible to run a cable between the 2 or 3 cinema screens, and isn't always based in the same screen each week | 09:38 |
| popey | i was just thinking irc may be overkill | 09:38 |
| popey | why not just use bonjour? | 09:39 |
| popey | that way as long as the network is up, they can chat, no need to faff about with an irc server | 09:39 |
| mungojerry | i've never used it | 09:39 |
| mungojerry | i'll have a look at it at lunchtime | 09:40 |
| popey | it's just a thing you enable in most chat clients which does auto-discovery over the lan | 09:54 |
| popey | so you can just instantly chat with people in the same area as you (as in the same LAN subnet) | 09:54 |

| andyc | Am I stupid or am I using Rhythmbox wrong? It always stops after a track has finished playing even when I've queued some up... | 13:54 |
| xnox | andyc: depends if you started the first track from "playing now" or from a library selection narrowed down to one song. | 14:14 |

| mungojerry | anyone used office 2010 with playonlinux? i'm missing a title bar | 15:46 |
| mungojerry | under gnome shell on ubuntu | 15:46 |
| SuperMatt | does it work under any other desktop environments? | 15:51 |
| en-sv-bo | I have a asus k53u notebook, which holds an internal Hard drive with a windows seven partition, and a smaller ubuntu 12.10 partition, i need to make a complete image of this drive of as a back up, the drive is a western digital Model = WDC WD3200BPVT-80JJ5T0, FwRev=01.01A01, SerialNo=WD-WXD1E71MZRA1 Please can someone help me make such an image or file that would enable me to restore the entire disk to it's original state if t | 15:59 |
| SuperMatt | ok, so the first question is, was stuff do you have available to you to back up on to? | 15:59 |
| en-sv-bo | I have a 1 tb western digital drive with 400gb free, it is connected via USB v2 | 16:01 |
| SuperMatt | all right, what you need is a disk imaging tool | 16:01 |
| SuperMatt | aha, brilliant | 16:02 |
| SuperMatt | load up the application called disks | 16:02 |
| en-sv-bo | SuperMatt: That does more than the standard backup tool? | 16:02 |
| SuperMatt | yup | 16:02 |
| SuperMatt | click on your HDD that you want to image, and click on the cogs icon in the top right. From there you can "create disk image" of your HDD | 16:02 |
| en-sv-bo | ~$ disks No command 'disks' found, did you mean: Command 'udisks' from package 'udisks' (main) Command 'diskd' from package 'fdutils' (universe) disks: command not found | 16:02 |
| SuperMatt | not from the command line | 16:03 |
| SuperMatt | do it from the launcher | 16:03 |
| en-sv-bo | I am not in a live enviroment | 16:03 |
| en-sv-bo | I have loaded disks | 16:04 |
| SuperMatt | well, you can do this | 16:04 |
| SuperMatt | dd if=/dev/<your disk device> of=/mount/<your usb drive>/disk.img bs=1M | 16:04 |
| SuperMatt | but that's a VERY dangerous command if you don't get it right | 16:04 |
| MartijnVdS | christel: which one did you open? :) | 16:05 |
| en-sv-bo | SuperMatt: I am a noob | 16:05 |
| SuperMatt | right, I *really* wouldn't do this from command line | 16:05 |
| en-sv-bo | ok | 16:05 |
| SuperMatt | I'd do it from a live CD with the GUI loaded | 16:05 |
| en-sv-bo | Azelphur tried two programmes before by using x11 to ssh to my machine and do it for me... | 16:06 |
| en-sv-bo | they failed after a while, i think dd was one of them | 16:06 |
| christel | MartijnVdS: the chocolate ones! :D | 16:06 |
| SuperMatt | it's not worth it when the disks app can do it for you | 16:06 |
| MartijnVdS | christel: those are the best :) | 16:07 |
| SuperMatt | en-sv-bo: let me know when you're in the UI | 16:09 |
| en-sv-bo | I am making an image of the 1tb drive first as a precation and using disks to do this. I was unawair disks could do that | 16:10 |
| en-sv-bo | Thank you for your help SuperMatt | 16:10 |
| en-sv-bo | i will let you know how i get on with this task | 16:10 |
| SuperMatt | you're welcome | 16:11 |

| AlanBell | I should do something about that cobweb http://ubingo.libertus.co.uk/cam/pad | 18:25 |
| Azelphur | I like the cobweb | 18:26 |
| Azelphur | it's very wobwebby | 18:26 |
| AlanBell | it is, maybe I will save it until after halloween | 18:26 |
| AlanBell | I didn't notice it during the day, shows up well with the infra red | 18:28 |
| christel | haha | 18:28 |
| AlanBell | how long will 4 AA batteries drive something that draws 3 watts at 5 volts? | 18:38 |
| AlanBell | or how do I work it out? | 18:38 |
| shauno | I think you need the mAh for the batteries? | 18:41 |
| shauno | watts = amps * volts. so 3W = 0.6A * 5V. so you're pulling 600mA, 1200mAh will last 2 hours? (the last step I'm less sure on) | 18:42 |
| shauno | (and 1200 pulled out of nowhere, the AA's sat on my desk are 1900, for example) | 18:43 |
| AlanBell | sounds reasonable, I have a 2500 mAh rechargeable AA here | 18:43 |
| AlanBell | hmm, so 4 in series, err is that 2500mAh overall or do they add up? | 18:44 |
| shauno | I think in series the volts add up, in parallel the mAh add up | 18:45 |
| AlanBell | no, guess they wouldn't they are 2500mAh at 1.5v each, so 2500mAh at 6v between them | 18:45 |
| AlanBell | yeah, that is logical | 18:45 |
| AlanBell | so, with these batteries, 4 hours | 18:45 |
| shauno | (with a disclaimer that this is math I haven't touched since school, but it seems logical) | 18:46 |
| AlanBell | and they are actually 1.2v for the rechargeables so pretty close to the 5v the device is rated for | 18:46 |
| AlanBell | 4 of them would be 4.8v | 18:46 |
| AlanBell | long enough to be interesting for something, but not as long as I kind of hoped | 18:49 |
| en-sv-bo | anyone in Scotland? | 18:51 |
| Azelphur | I'm the opposite to in Scotland, does that count? | 18:55 |
| en-sv-bo | Azelphur: yeah i guess | 18:59 |
| Azelphur | yay \o/ | 18:59 |
| en-sv-bo | but it does say a lot about your views on independence :P | 19:00 |
| ali1234 | i say we let scotland become independent, and then invade it. | 19:07 |
| Azelphur | \o/ | 19:08 |
| en-sv-bo | ali1234: well... | 19:08 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: fun fact, the SNP council dude is a bitcoiner | 19:09 |
| ali1234 | which one? | 19:09 |
| * Azelphur checks his history again | 19:09 | |
| Azelphur | ali1234: Councillor Math Campbell-Sturgess, http://www.mathcampbell.co.uk/ | 19:12 |
| danfish | AlanBell: have alook at this site http://www.reuk.co.uk/Solar-Powered-Wireless-CCTV.htm <--very good source of renewable stuff | 19:12 |
| shauno | personally, I think scottish independence is all the wrong way around. it's england that should be looking for some independence | 19:19 |
| shauno | scotland, wales and NI all have their own assemblies, and england's does double-duty as the UK's assembly too. no wonder the rest think there's some conflict of interest there | 19:20 |
| bootljhfdsds | danfish, That's good .. I esp. love the marks outta 5 bit. | 19:30 |
| danfish | bootljhfdsds: design is a little basic but loads of good info | 19:33 |
| bootljhfdsds | danfish, Is that you Dan W. ?? | 19:33 |
| danfish | err, no | 19:36 |
| bootljhfdsds | Oh OK, sorry for asking.. | 19:44 |
| danfish | no probs | 19:45 |

| bigcalm | davmor2: Thursday on still? | 20:32 |
| danfish | AlanBell: I have one of those cameras on order so I'll do some measurements when it arrives | 20:36 |
| AlanBell | I chopped up the cable and resoldered it yesterday, didn't think to shove the multimeter on it at the time | 20:36 |
| danfish | where's it mounted now? | 20:37 |
| AlanBell | I even desoldered it and put it back together with the correct polarity | 20:37 |
| AlanBell | under the roof of the porch | 20:37 |
| danfish | looks good. Zoneminder has quite good support for those webcams I think | 20:38 |
| bigcalm | AlanBell: that is very good use of it | 20:38 |
| AlanBell | will be interesting to see if it survives the weather | 20:39 |
| bigcalm | I'll say | 20:40 |
| AlanBell | it is relatively sheltered from direct rain there | 20:40 |
| bigcalm | I don't have such a hideyhole any more | 20:40 |
| AlanBell | and as it is upside down the PCB is at the top, close to the thing it is screwed to | 20:40 |
| danfish | It should be OK for a while, but after a while the damp will creep in. You could get some PCB laquer from Maplins - protects things quite well IMO | 20:42 |
| bigcalm | Aye, not sure how well the camera itself will fair | 20:43 |
| AlanBell | well the main protection is that it is £35 | 20:56 |
| dub_ | Azelphur: ok so i\m on gparted on a live cd | 20:56 |
| AlanBell | if it breaks then the next one will be located in a more protected place | 20:56 |
| dub_ | I moved windows down from 128 gb to 71 gb and have 79gb unallocated space | 20:57 |
| dub_ | how do i give that 97gb to linux_ | 20:57 |
| MartijnVdS | dub_: how are your partitions layed out? | 20:58 |
| AlanBell | danfish: I was looking at zoneminder earlier, I might get that set up for the motion sensing video stuff, there is a similar facility built into the camera | 20:58 |
| dub_ | MartijnVdS: ? | 20:58 |
| dub_ | anyone wanna vnc to my machine and help me?? i am a noob | 20:59 |
| AlanBell | I think it should be possible to hack the camera itself through the firmware upload tool and then maybe even install stuff direct on the board | 20:59 |
| MartijnVdS | dub_: you'd probably have to run "gparted" from the live CD | 21:00 |
| dub_ | MartijnVdS: i am in a live cd | 21:00 |
| MartijnVdS | dub_: is Ubuntu already on the machine, or not? | 21:01 |
| danfish | AlanBell: this price is a bonus. I might house mine in one of a dummy CCTV case that are quite abundant on ebay | 21:03 |
| dub_ | yes | 21:03 |
| dub_ | umm a screenshot may help you mattt | 21:04 |
| dub_ | umm a screenshot may help you MartijnVdS sorry mattt | 21:04 |
| dub_ | http://bayimg.com/GAEcLAaeC MartijnVdS | 21:05 |
| MartijnVdS | dub_: what are all the unknown partitions? | 21:07 |
| dub_ | i dont know | 21:07 |
| dub_ | I did reinstall ubuntu a few times using the automatic installer so perhaps they are swap from systems that are no longer installed | 21:08 |
| dub_ | MartijnVdS: ? | 21:10 |
| MartijnVdS | I don't know | 21:11 |
| dub_ | Azelphur: help | 21:13 |
| Azelphur | dub_: NEVAR | 21:13 |
| * Azelphur looks | 21:13 | |
| Azelphur | that's a lot of partitions o.O | 21:13 |
| dub_ | yeah | 21:13 |
| dub_ | Hence why i would like to sort it | 21:13 |
| dub_ | "you have 1 gb remaning" says linux |:>/ | 21:14 |
| Azelphur | dub_: you need to move /dev/sda2, /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda4 to the left | 21:15 |
| Azelphur | so they are all at the beginning | 21:15 |
| dub_ | Azelphur: you are awesome, would you mind doing it for me? please | 21:16 |
| dub_ | You can take over my machine | 21:16 |
| dub_ | like last time | 21:16 |
| Azelphur | dub_: haha, ok | 21:16 |
| Azelphur | you've backed up right? | 21:17 |
| dub_ | as best i can | 21:17 |
| Azelphur | righto | 21:17 |
| dub_ | yesh | 21:17 |
| Azelphur | :D | 21:17 |

| dub_ | x11vnc it cannot find | 21:18 |
| Azelphur | MartijnVdS: fun | 21:18 |
| Azelphur | dub_: livecd again? | 21:19 |
| dub_ | i realised my err | 21:20 |
| Azelphur | :) | 21:20 |
| Azelphur | dub_: pull up gparted then :) | 21:22 |
| dub_ | its a mess | 21:22 |
| Azelphur | it's ok to unmount everything right? | 21:22 |
| dub_ | yes | 21:23 |
| Azelphur | ok | 21:23 |
| Azelphur | that's what you want right? | 21:25 |
| dub_ | see that would that make sence and work still_ | 21:26 |
| Azelphur | ah, you want to make sda2 smaller | 21:27 |
| Azelphur | I can do that, but I'll have to redo it a bit | 21:27 |
| Azelphur | you want the Linux partition to expand into the available space? | 21:27 |
| dub_ | yes and the same with sda3 | 21:27 |
| Azelphur | ok so you want sda2 to be 70gb | 21:27 |
| Azelphur | how big do you want sda3? | 21:28 |
| dub_ | with xp there was something about 10% free space to work... i dunno about windows 7 | 21:28 |
| Azelphur | yes you should leave a little bit of free space | 21:28 |
| Azelphur | to work with | 21:28 |
| MartijnVdS | gparted takes care of that by itself doesn't it? | 21:28 |
| dub_ | sda3 is 40gb and is using like 10gb roughly | 21:28 |
| Azelphur | should I just leave 5gb free space on the end of those 2 ntfs partitions | 21:29 |
| Azelphur | and expand Linux into the available | 21:29 |
| Azelphur | that'd work fine | 21:29 |
| dub_ | ok if 5gb works im happy | 21:29 |
| Azelphur | do you know what all those unknown partitions are? | 21:31 |
| Azelphur | lots of space is going to them | 21:31 |
| dub_ | no | 21:31 |
| Azelphur | I wonder if they are swap partitions | 21:31 |
| dub_ | its ubuntu 12.10 | 21:32 |
| shauno | fwiw, file is quite good at figuring that out. eg, file -s /dev/sda1 | 21:32 |
| Azelphur | shauno: just says they are all "data" | 21:33 |
| shauno | I use that worryingly often to double-check which fs I'm about to nuke | 21:33 |
| Azelphur | they are inside Linuxes extended partition | 21:33 |
| dub_ | Azelphur: sudo !! will gain you sudo access if you forgot to add sudo | 21:33 |
| dub_ | only to the previous command | 21:34 |
| shauno | that's not a good sign. I've not run up against a filesystem file won't identify | 21:34 |
| Azelphur | fun | 21:34 |
| Azelphur | well we dunno what they are | 21:34 |
| Azelphur | there's just a bunch of 5.6GB partitions there, all unknown | 21:34 |
| Azelphur | that's a lot of space to eat | 21:34 |
| dub_ | Azelphur: i am banned from the usa so perhaps its something the government put there :P | 21:35 |
| dub_ | lol | 21:35 |
| Azelphur | lol | 21:35 |
| Azelphur | dub_: do you use anything funky like truecrypt or something that would create all these weird partitions? | 21:35 |
| dub_ | nope | 21:35 |
| dub_ | wait | 21:36 |
| Azelphur | all those ones with the (!) they are unknown and 5.6GB a pop | 21:36 |
| dub_ | dsnsec? | 21:36 |
| Azelphur | so that's 25GB that you could regain | 21:36 |
| Azelphur | nah, not dnssec | 21:36 |
| dub_ | i have reinstalled ubuntu from livecds a few times | 21:36 |
| Azelphur | yea | 21:36 |
| Azelphur | this makes me think they are all swap | 21:36 |
| Azelphur | lemme check something | 21:36 |
| Azelphur | yep | 21:37 |
| Azelphur | they are all Linux swaps | 21:37 |
| Azelphur | we can delete those and get you another 25GB \o/ | 21:37 |
| dub_ | any chance you could divide that and give it to the windows partitions then or would that mean starting again? | 21:38 |
| dub_ | lol | 21:38 |
| dub_ | **evil** | 21:39 |
| Azelphur | hehe | 21:39 |
| Azelphur | how you want it laid out then? | 21:39 |
| dub_ | oh and dont delete them ****all**** else linux wont work :P | 21:39 |
| dub_ | i guess so | 21:40 |
| Azelphur | Linux would work fine without all of them | 21:40 |
| Azelphur | but yea, keep one | 21:40 |
| dub_ | look on the bright side we now understand what weare doing ***high fives*** | 21:40 |
| dub_ | lol | 21:40 |
| Azelphur | indeed \o/ | 21:41 |
| Azelphur | dub_: I'll let you pick partition sizes shall I? | 21:41 |
| dub_ | nope | 21:41 |
| Azelphur | lol | 21:41 |
| Azelphur | don't you know what sizes you want? | 21:41 |
| dub_ | i haz dyscalclia | 21:41 |
| Azelphur | ah :P | 21:41 |
| dub_ | i want windows and linux to work with lix being the main os | 21:42 |
| dub_ | linux* | 21:42 |
| Azelphur | so you just want to give windows enough space to boot up and nothing else | 21:42 |
| Azelphur | and Linux to take all the rest? | 21:42 |
| dub_ | boot and update | 21:42 |
| Azelphur | ok, so you actually wanna use Windows | 21:42 |
| Azelphur | best to leave it with a sane amount of space then | 21:42 |
| dub_ | well i dont know what i am going to do with windows but right now the lack of knowlege about what i am going to do with windows would indicate a good idea to plan ahead | 21:43 |
| dub_ | :P | 21:43 |
| dub_ | the ability to do | 21:43 |
| dub_ | is a good thing | 21:44 |
| Azelphur | ok | 21:44 |
| Azelphur | I'll leave windows with 20GB overhead then, you can increase it later if needed. | 21:44 |
| dub_ | ok | 21:44 |
| Azelphur | that look good? | 21:46 |
| dub_ | Sweet as a vegan apple pie | 21:46 |
| dub_ | thanks | 21:46 |
| dub_ | there is still one unknown there | 21:46 |
| Azelphur | that unknown is a swap partition | 21:47 |
| Azelphur | so you want one, really | 21:47 |
| Azelphur | just not 5 ;) | 21:47 |
| dub_ | so there is EXT4 extended and unknown | 21:47 |
| Azelphur | yep, and unknown is swap. | 21:47 |
| dub_ | ok | 21:47 |
| dub_ | thank you | 21:47 |
| Azelphur | it might cause your system not to boot as the big warning messages said | 21:47 |
| Azelphur | but if that happens we can fix it in a livecd | 21:47 |
| dub_ | safe to write these now? | 21:47 |
| Azelphur | I'd say so, yep :) | 21:48 |
| Azelphur | it looks good to me | 21:48 |
| dub_ | wanna watch? | 21:48 |
| * Azelphur puts feet up | 21:48 | |
| Azelphur | I saw that :P | 21:49 |

| dub_ | on the plus side i just ordered some new prayer cards :*) | 22:47 |
| Azelphur | :) | 22:48 |
| dub_ | when is the next LTS out? Azelphur | 22:50 |
| Azelphur | 3 days | 22:51 |
| dub_ | the next LTS | 22:51 |
| Azelphur | oh | 22:51 |
| Azelphur | that'll be 3 years-ish I think | 22:51 |
| Azelphur | or 2, probably be 14.04 | 22:51 |
| dub_ | ok... so scobuntu then :P for when scotland is free from the oppression of the english :P | 22:52 |
| Azelphur | xD | 22:53 |
| dub_ | I am, going to install ubuntu LTS as it seems stable and not be so impatient as to rush into things | 22:53 |
| dub_ | hope this repartitioning goes well first | 22:54 |
| Azelphur | dub_: but then you get old things :P | 22:55 |
| dub_ | yes old things that are stable, safe, secure and umm lvm | 22:55 |
| dub_ | encrypted | 22:55 |
| * dub_ deals with the usa and china often | 22:56 | |
| dub_ | Azelphur: you work for canonical? | 22:57 |
| Azelphur | nope | 22:58 |
| dub_ | ok. | 22:59 |
| dub_ | Azelphur: its moved /dev/sda2 to the left and shrank it from 128 to 74 | 23:00 |
| xnox | full disk encryption with dm-crypt (luks) & lvm is readily available in the quantal installer though ;-) | 23:00 |
| Azelphur | :) | 23:00 |
| dub_ | and the rest of it all done | 23:01 |
| dub_ | and now its onto moving the /dev/sda6 to the left and gowing it from 76 to 198 | 23:01 |
| dub_ | 59 mins remaining | 23:02 |
| dub_ | 13.15% done | 23:09 |
| Azelphur | hehe, long run | 23:10 |
| dub_ | final stage- it's adding 121.46gb on to what was already there | 23:12 |
| dub_ | moving* | 23:13 |
| Azelphur | :) | 23:13 |
| dub_ | wooop 20 gb moved of 76gb | 23:15 |
| shauno | now that's what I call a diet :) http://cl.ly/image/0F0x0z2U1o0K | 23:20 |
| dub_ | Azelphur: still thinking about the sda5 thats unknown is that not supposed to be formatted to linux swap_ | 23:22 |
| Azelphur | dub_: no, it /is/ Linux swap | 23:23 |
| Azelphur | gparted just doesn't recognise it for no apparent reason | 23:23 |
| dub_ | it would allow me to format it to be linux swap, woudl this help or hinder the machine/ | 23:23 |
| dub_ | Azelphur: @ | 23:24 |
| Azelphur | dub_: just leave that partition alone, it really is Linux swap | 23:25 |
| Azelphur | gparted is just not identifying it | 23:25 |
| Azelphur | I checked it with fdisk and it sees it as linux swap :) | 23:25 |
| * dub_ looks sad like a puppy | 23:25 | |
| dub_ | ok | 23:25 |
| Azelphur | hehe | 23:25 |
