| dogmatic69 | anyone got a stats page for download numbers? | 00:57 |
|---|---|---|
| ali1234 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_downloaded_Android_applications | 01:04 |
| ali1234 | http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/downloads/ | 01:06 |
| ali1234 | i could go on... | 01:07 |
| ali1234 | there's no stats on ubuntu downloads if that is what you meant | 01:08 |
| ali1234 | the best stats anyone found is wikimedia browser stats | 01:09 |
| ali1234 | but those are terrible and require a large amount of analysis to get anything even remotely meaningful | 01:09 |
| dogmatic69 | ali1234: ye, ubuntu downloads. | 01:13 |
| dogmatic69 | browser stats is pointless as it misses servers | 01:13 |
| ali1234 | downloads are pointless too because it missed torrents | 01:13 |
| dogmatic69 | ye | 01:14 |
| ali1234 | and besides i downloaded 4 ubuntu isos last week | 01:14 |
| dogmatic69 | they could just include some privacy busting call home stuff | 01:14 |
| ali1234 | yes but they only just put that in in the latest release | 01:14 |
| ali1234 | and the stats are unlikely to be public anyway | 01:14 |
| ali1234 | there is popcon but it isn't on by default | 01:15 |
| ali1234 | http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=coreutils | 01:15 |
| ali1234 | i'm guessing most debian users have coreutils... | 01:15 |
| shauno | unique addresses hitting security.ubuntu.com's repos would be an interesting one. or the closest I can think of to interesting, at least | 01:16 |
| directhex | popcon is opt-in though | 01:19 |
| ali1234 | yeah, i bet a larger fraction of debian users opt in than ubuntu users | 01:22 |
| directhex | bedtime. | 01:22 |
| ali1234 | dogmatic69: basically you won't ever get more than a general trend, and even that is entirely open to debate due to the scarcity of data | 01:25 |
| dogmatic69 | ye | 01:25 |

| ali1234 | advocacy doesn't work | 01:51 |
| ali1234 | and even if it did, community support already can't handle the existing user base | 01:52 |

| popey | can someone on quantal try something for me? right click the dash icon in the top left, you should get a menu, now with that open, press Super+S to show all workspaces, then come out of that again with Super+S. Do you still see the context menu for the dash? | 09:44 |
| popey | also, simpler test. over mouse over dash so you get a "Dash Home" tooltip, press super+s, then super+S again, now move the mouse away from the launcher, note that every time you press super+s and come out, it always has the tooltip | 09:46 |
| directhex | super-s doesn't work for me when the menu is open | 09:46 |
| directhex | tooltip seems normal enough to me? | 09:47 |
| popey | if you hold down super as you come out of super+s, the tooltip "Dash Home" always appears, it shouldnt | 09:47 |
| popey | it should only appear when you mouse over the dash | 09:47 |
| popey | but it seems to remember if you happened to Super+S as you had the mouse over the dash button | 09:47 |

| bashrc | although I might occasionally play on FlightGear | 17:06 |
| CaMason | I've been following it for ages and was hoping to get an invite. Didn't :/ | 17:06 |
| bashrc | More commercial gaming will certainly bring new users to linux | 17:07 |
| shauno | I'm curious if it will bring new users, or just mean existing users have to reboot into windows less often | 17:16 |
| bashrc | my guess would be that most people who spend a lot of time in games will be using consoles anyway | 17:18 |
| gord | thats a pretty bad guess, steam on windows is huge | 17:18 |
| popey | CaMason, ya | 17:22 |

| CaMason | why can't I ruddy zoom in on images in Twitter any more, grr | 17:25 |
| CaMason | looking very nice | 17:25 |
| popey | yeah, be good if devs can just take their existing code and pretty much just press a button to make a linux version | 17:26 |
| CaMason | considering how many games launched in the beta, it can't be too far from that | 17:26 |
| popey | all I did was download and run unity3d on windows 7, open the demo, spit out a 64-bit binary for linux and copy to my laptop to run it | 17:26 |
| CaMason | wow nice | 17:26 |
| CaMason | I probably play TF2 the most out of all my games, so will be good to see how it performs vs windows on the same system | 17:27 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: It's confusing though | 17:28 |

| creativetux | heya | 22:38 |
| cliftonts | I was wondering if anyone could help me with a simple problem. I have a list of web addresses, all photos which I need to download. I'm sure there must be a way to feed this list into terminal and have it just work it's way down the list. I'm not great with that sort of thing though | 22:40 |
| ball | cliftonts: wget? | 22:40 |
| cliftonts | ball: there's a bit more to it than that, I know that much | 22:40 |
| creativetux | maybe DownloadThemAll! plugin for Firefox? | 22:41 |
| cliftonts | I used to have a script to manipulate all the files in a directory but I'm damned if I can find it. | 22:41 |
| cliftonts | it used some command like for f in * | 22:41 |
| * ball shrugs | 22:42 | |
| creativetux | put all urls in a file, then wget -i download.list | 22:42 |
| cliftonts | aah, that's handy. thanks. | 22:42 |
| cliftonts | How do I format the file? Just one url per line in gedit? | 22:43 |
| creativetux | yep | 22:43 |
| cliftonts | great, thanks | 22:44 |
| cliftonts | yup, that's done it alright. Saved me hours of work | 22:45 |
| creativetux | awesome :) | 22:46 |
| ball | Thanks creativetux, I wasn't familiar with the syntax. | 22:48 |

| Arpad2 | hi | 23:17 |
| creativetux | hi | 23:18 |
| Arpad2 | Is it possibla to buy a Windows free notebook in the UK? | 23:19 |
| creativetux | Dell used to ship with a linux option | 23:21 |
| Arpad2 | so, not any more? | 23:22 |
| AlanBell | Arpad2: check ebuyer for zoostorm laptops | 23:22 |
| Arpad2 | AlanBell: thx | 23:22 |
| xnox | Arpad2: system76 ships to uk, there are a few on ebuyer, http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ also has options for no OS (80 to 100 GBP off) | 23:23 |
| Arpad2 | why are retailers reluctant to offer os free laptops | 23:23 |
| Arpad2 | ? | 23:23 |
| xnox | Arpad2: there are plenty. | 23:23 |
| shauno | because they're a very narrow niche | 23:23 |
| creativetux | because they afraid of tech calls from people who thought of cheap bargain and then realise they got nothing lol | 23:23 |
| xnox | the rest are resellers not retailers =) | 23:24 |
| Arpad2 | in Hungary lot of small webshop offer this feature withbthe neweat mosels | 23:24 |
| AlanBell | http://www.novatech.co.uk also | 23:25 |
| Arpad2 | and could you advice me about the config? | 23:25 |
| Arpad2 | I would like 17.3" screen | 23:25 |
| Arpad2 | this letter was the best I've found so far | 23:26 |
| AlanBell | get an SSD rather than a spinning drive | 23:26 |
| Arpad2 | is it more durable? | 23:27 |
| AlanBell | or get the smallest spinning drive and swap it yourself for an ssd | 23:27 |
| AlanBell | it is fast and quiet | 23:27 |
| creativetux | yeah +1 an ssd amazing different on speed and battery life I've found | 23:29 |
| Arpad2 | which ssd capacity you recomend? | 23:32 |
| AlanBell | entirely up to you | 23:32 |
| AlanBell | probably don't get something massively huge if you don't need it | 23:33 |
| pr0ph3t | hi all | 23:33 |
| AlanBell | that gets expensive, and by the time you do need it, they will be half the price | 23:33 |
| pr0ph3t | has anyone tried the steam beta on yet? | 23:33 |
| * hamitron doesn't like SSD | 23:34 | |
| pr0ph3t | not to play games of course but just to test how it works and all | 23:34 |
| hamitron | small, and not enough time to go make coffee when comp is doing something | 23:35 |
| hamitron | ;) | 23:35 |
| pr0ph3t | I'm thinking of getting a small SSD actually, just to test it on my ubuntu box, check out the differences and work out whether a combination of SSD and HD is viable etc | 23:37 |
| hamitron | these 60GB ones are certainly tempting, with their new lower prices | 23:38 |
| AlanBell | yeah, I got one of those for £30 and shoved it in a USB enclosure | 23:39 |
| Azelphur | don't suppose anyone knows if bank accounts have any form of API so you can watch transactions live? | 23:39 |
| AlanBell | Azelphur: not usually, but some let you download in csv, xml or quicken format | 23:40 |
| hamitron | Azelphur, maybe use email confirmations? | 23:40 |
| AlanBell | and other assorted formats | 23:40 |
| Azelphur | hamitron: they arrive hours and hours later | 23:40 |
| pr0ph3t | well maybe some of you prefer not to expose themselves in public as gamers so I'll just say it (as it was published on Webupd8): you can run Steam on Linux even if you were not chosen for the beta testing officially, you can download the binary and run it, and that is exactly what I have done | 23:40 |
| Azelphur | AlanBell: ah yea mine does, but that would involve polling with low interval | 23:40 |
| hamitron | :/ | 23:40 |
| AlanBell | Azelphur: got money coming in that fast then? | 23:40 |
| Azelphur | AlanBell: I do a lot of bank transfers | 23:40 |
| Azelphur | also just to plug this in case anyone is interested in fun things, Bitcoin friday is starting in a few minutes, http://bitcoinfriday.com/ | 23:41 |
| Azelphur | I'll exchange £ to BTC if anyone wants anything :) | 23:42 |
| pr0ph3t | AlanBell, I was thinking of doing the opposite, put my HD in a usb enclosure and install the SSD internally, although I realise that technically it is the same thing | 23:43 |
| hamitron | I've considered SSD in USB caddy, but doesn't USB slow it down a fair amount? | 23:44 |
| pr0ph3t | but wouldn't the USB connection defeat the | 23:44 |
| pr0ph3t | hamitron, exactly my point | 23:44 |
| hamitron | even USB 3 is not as good as esata imo | 23:45 |
| pr0ph3t | I guess in this case it is not down to opinion, but physics and maths | 23:47 |
| hamitron | well, SSD on USB 3.0 will be faster than HDD on USB 3.0 | 23:48 |
| hamitron | probably good for data, if you drop it too | 23:48 |
| pr0ph3t | usb 3.0 480Mbit/s <-> sata 6Gbit/s | 23:49 |
| hamitron | that is usb 2.0 | 23:49 |
| pr0ph3t | right usb is 5Gbit/s | 23:51 |
| hamitron | I'd say latency is the biggest downside to usb, over esata | 23:51 |
| pr0ph3t | I only have usb 2.0 on my laptop though | 23:51 |
| hamitron | I've got usb 3.0 with a normal hdd | 23:52 |
| hamitron | and I gotta say, not as great as I'd hoped | 23:52 |
| hamitron | ;) | 23:52 |
| AlanBell | pr0ph3t: I have an SSD internally (240GB) and I got the 60GB as an external thing | 23:52 |
| AlanBell | well actually I got it because it was cheap, then I figured out what to do with it | 23:53 |
| hamitron | :D | 23:53 |
| hamitron | couldn't resist that bargan? ;) | 23:53 |
| AlanBell | I can boot from it pretty quick, you don't notice that it is slow really | 23:53 |
| pr0ph3t | I guess if you get a significant improvement in performance then 30 quid isn't much | 23:54 |
| hamitron | boot times I bet are good | 23:54 |
| AlanBell | yeah, I was going to put it in one of the kids machines, but the one with the laptop has IDE interface | 23:54 |
| pr0ph3t | AlanBell, is it connected to a USB 3.0 port then? | 23:54 |
| hamitron | just a shame I lag behind the times a little, and can't convince myself to spend money on a SSD yet | 23:54 |
| hamitron | ;) | 23:55 |
| AlanBell | pr0ph3t: nope, just usb2 | 23:55 |
| AlanBell | that will be a bottleneck, however it is still fast | 23:55 |
| AlanBell | and silent and shockproof and light etc | 23:55 |
| hamitron | I think you don't need such extras AlanBell, and can parcel it up for my xmas gift | 23:57 |
| pr0ph3t | I'm thinking of installing it internally and speed up the system and then keep my data in the HD which now is internal connecting it through USB 2.0 | 23:57 |
| hamitron | ;) | 23:57 |
| AlanBell | hehe | 23:57 |
| AlanBell | I also have a little server which actually boots from an SD card plugged into a USB port | 23:57 |
| hamitron | I dunno how people can live with USB 2.0 for large amounts of data | 23:57 |
| AlanBell | that has a 3TB spinning rust drive in it, but it is spun down most of the time | 23:58 |
| hamitron | huge transfers I've found USB 3.0 better for, but esata is better I'd say | 23:58 |
| hamitron | 3TB! | 23:58 |
| AlanBell | when I back stuff up to it, the drive starts spinning, but most of the time that machine has no moving parts | 23:58 |
| AlanBell | I unplugged all the fans | 23:59 |
| pr0ph3t | hamitron, one thing is spending 30 quid on a SSD, another thing is getting a new laptop with USB 3.0 ports ;-) | 23:59 |
