| shauno | I love when you're trying to google for something, and the results are all people asking "are you too lazy to google?". | 01:25 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | hehe yes | 01:25 |
| shauno | it's almost as bad as forum threads that ask exactly what you're looking for, and then the sole reply is "nm found it" | 01:26 |
| shauno | xbmc's documentation is almost comically bad. | 01:31 |

| popey | morning | 08:57 |
| daubers | o/ | 09:02 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone | 10:24 |
| dwatkins | hiya brobostigon et al | 10:26 |
| brobostigon | hi dwatkins | 10:26 |
| dwatkins | I found a webpage, and then I lost it :-/ | 10:26 |
| brobostigon | :( | 10:27 |
| dwatkins | ages ago I found a page which described minimal power usage circults with a solar panel, capacitor and some kind of load (probably an LED) and the details about how to keep power usage to a minimum, now I can't find that page. | 10:27 |
| dwatkins | it mentioned shutting down the circuit when not in use, and I'm really curious how it did that, but have looked for ages and can't find the same page. | 10:27 |
| brobostigon | interesting, yes. | 10:28 |
| * dwatkins consoles himself by reading about a solar-powered phone charger on Adafruit's website | 10:30 | |
| brobostigon | :) | 10:30 |
| dwatkins | http://learn.adafruit.com/usb-dc-and-solar-lipoly-charger/design-notes for the curious/lazy ;) | 10:32 |
| danfish | dwdw | 10:39 |
| brobostigon | morning danfish | 10:39 |
| danfish | oops | 10:39 |
| danfish | morning brobostigon | 10:40 |
| danfish | dwatkins: www.reuk.co.uk is a good site for info re power/solar etc | 10:40 |
| dwatkins | thanks danfish :) will have a look | 10:40 |

| DJones | What software would people recommend for setting up a blog system on a home ubuntu server? I was thinking about using wordpress, but wondered if there was a better system to use | 14:14 |
| popey | I'd use wordpress | 14:14 |
| DJones | Cheers, that was what I thought would be suggested | 14:15 |
| AlanBell | DJones: wordpress, and update it every single time it offers you an update | 14:18 |
| DJones | ls | 14:24 |
| DJones | grr | 14:24 |
| b1ackcr0w | ello all! | 15:56 |
| b1ackcr0w | this should be fun | 15:56 |
| * AlanBell downloads a raring iso | 16:55 | |
| daubers | AlanBell: Raring to go already? | 16:56 |
| AlanBell | I upgraded a VM already from Quantal, but I feel like testing the installer | 16:56 |
| * daubers adds "Made tje | 16:57 | |
| * daubers adds "Made the tumble drier work" to his list of stuff done today | 16:57 | |
| AlanBell | yay | 16:57 |
| daubers | Should probably find a better keyboard out of the roof at some point | 16:57 |
| daubers | The one from the old Revo is a bit poo | 16:57 |
| AlanBell | raring in a VM looks pretty much exactly the same as quantal so far | 16:57 |
| penguin42 | which reminds me, I need to seem if my favorite X crash still happens in Raring | 17:15 |
| penguin42 | yep, still seems broken in raring | 17:57 |
| AlanBell | bug #? | 17:58 |
| penguin42 | bug 1043513 | 18:01 |

| andrews | Hello - can anyone advise how to check the permissions of an external hard drive? Ive had it connected to my Ubuntu system (its normally a windows backup drive) though it wont now let me connect it to my mac as my mac says that the drive is "restricted" which I assume means locked out | 18:03 |
| DJones | Can somebody give me a bit of help with changing where my home website goes to, at the moment if I type www.mydomain.com it loads the index.htm page in /var/www/ I'd like it to load the default page in /var/www/wordpress/ , I just can't rok out how to get that done | 18:11 |
| DJones | s/rok/work/ | 18:11 |
| DJones | Never mind, its not where I want it to be anyway | 18:19 |
| dwatkins | You can setup aliases with Apache, DJones - perhaps that helps. | 18:47 |
| dwatkins | I tend to have my wordpress installation at example.com/blog, the gallery at example.com/gallery etc. | 18:47 |
| dwatkins | I just use the top level for a simple homepage, and I don't link the blog from there, to avoid too many unwanted visitors finding it. | 18:48 |
| AlanBell | DJones: you can set up stuff in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ to point to different directories and serve them up in assorted ways | 19:18 |
| AlanBell | some people move the whole lot out of /var/www and put in in /srv/domain.name/ | 19:18 |
| andylockran | DJones: easiest way is to set the default page that your server lands at via a sites-enabled/ file called 000-default | 20:12 |
| andylockran | it reads the vhosts alphabetically, so will load the first one if a GET request is issues for a domain name not mentioned in a vhosts file. | 20:13 |
| * MartijnVdS returns | 20:36 | |
| * daubers waits for the feeling to return to his fingertips | 20:42 | |
| MartijnVdS | daubers: what did you do to lose it? | 20:43 |
| daubers | MartijnVdS: Spray painting models in the cold | 20:47 |
| MartijnVdS | that would do it :) | 20:48 |
| * MartijnVdS just came back from Birmingham | 20:48 | |
| MartijnVdS | that Christmas market thing was BUSY | 20:48 |
| daubers | And you managed to get out in one piece??? | 20:48 |
| MartijnVdS | daubers: I only stayed for 24h, so I think the damage is minimal ;0 | 20:48 |
| MartijnVdS | ;) | 20:48 |
| daubers | :p | 20:49 |
| dwatkins | 24 hour christmas market? think of the gluhwein... | 20:49 |
| MartijnVdS | dwatkins: I don't think the market was 24h, we went to the Tattoo for my dad's birthday (he loves those things).. and then we found out there was a German-style Christmas market | 20:50 |
| dwatkins | oh cool, MartijnVdS | 20:50 |
| Azelphur | http://i.imgur.com/evRLf.jpg :p | 21:13 |
| dwatkins | haha, looks like it didn't detect the USB stick after starting the initial boot phase | 21:13 |
| Azelphur | either that or someone pulled it out and ran away from incoming security personnel xD | 21:14 |
| dwatkins | yeah, although it's possible something else is attached to the TV | 21:14 |
| * dwatkins wonders idly if he can boot his TV using the USB socket in the side | 21:14 | |
| Azelphur | haha | 21:14 |

| dwatkins | I can power my Arduino from it, which is neat. | 21:15 |
| dwatkins | I can even power a Raspberry Pi from it, which was quite impressive. | 21:15 |
| dwatkins | Trouble is, when the TV goes into low power mode, the Pi gets turned off. | 21:15 |
| shauno | it's a shame most those little usb powerpacks I find don't charge & power at the same time, else you could make a pi-sized ups | 21:26 |
| === viperhoot_ is now known as viperhoot | ||
| dwatkins | shauno: you can get charging circuits for Lithium Polymer batteries so you can do that. | 22:58 |
| dwatkins | https://www.adafruit.com/products/390 | 22:59 |
| shauno | I had something like that, but the battery puffed up like a pillow | 23:00 |
| dwatkins | I imagine if you cable it carefully, you could also add a USB-B socket to apply power when it's too dark to charge with the sun. | 23:00 |
| dwatkins | oh dear, that's not good | 23:00 |
| dwatkins | I've seen a few people suggesting just connecting the panel directly to the battery, which is fine for a few seconds, but if the voltage goes too high you risk the battery being damaged. I assume you had a circuit to monitor the charging voltage, though. | 23:01 |
| dwatkins | I think you could power a Raspberry Pi for just over an hour with a 1300 mAh battery. | 23:02 |
| shauno | I'm curious about this CEC stuff that lets devices communicate over hdmi. if the pi knows the TV's gone to standby, it could shutdown | 23:03 |
| shauno | you still need some battery to last the period between the signal and the poweroff, but it could be very smooth | 23:04 |
| brobostigon | is it possible, for people, without an account on an xmpp server, to join a MUC room on said server ? | 23:11 |
| dwatkins | I don't believe so, brobostigon - in my experience, you need an account to do anything with an xmpp server, but there may be a configuration option to say "let people register and join rooms as a guest" | 23:21 |
| brobostigon | dwatkins: i have not enabled such an option, i just wanted to be sure. | 23:22 |
| dwatkins | brobostigon: ah I see, I'm no security expert, but that's how I believe it works | 23:23 |
| brobostigon | dwatkins: ok, thank you. | 23:24 |
