| pndemc | I installed Zpanel on my ubuntu server, and now I can't launch my game servers, it keeps telling me "No such file or directory" when it gets to either ./steam or ./srcds_run. Does anyone know what could be causing this? | 08:54 |
| MooDoo | hello all | 08:59 |
| kvarley | Why when setting up an SSL certificate for my domain do I need to specify a subdomain as well? | 08:59 |
| kvarley | MooDoo: Hi | 08:59 |
| MooDoo | :) | 09:02 |
| MooDoo | kvarley: because the SSL is normally tied to the subdomain and the domain. | 09:03 |
| kvarley | MooDoo: Ah ok, I did it. I was just wondering :) | 09:09 |
| MooDoo | kvarley: sweet :D | 09:18 |

| ikonia | Any of you guys got a recommendation for a "dellwarehouse.com" type of site for Lenovo gear | 09:47 |
| ikonia | I need to pickup a very speicifc laptop make/model from lenvo for a gift and I'm shopping around for good places to buy | 09:47 |

| directhex | wiiu! | 10:02 |
| gord | someone pointed out to me the other day that nintendo are going to have a really hard time with wiiu game sequels... new Super Mario Bros U2: Bono world | 10:04 |
| popey | the wii mini is an odd device | 10:10 |
| popey | are there lots of people who clamour for a wii without online capability? | 10:10 |
| popey | if it were ~40$ cheaper I can imagine it flying off the shelves for use in bedrooms, spare rooms etc | 10:11 |
| gord | i think its for the xmas family market not for the people who want to still be playing it in febuary market | 10:22 |
| bigcalm | Not a good start to the day: can't mount my samba shares | 10:29 |
| christel | popey: get yourself a babysitter tomorrow night and bring clare to hindhead and attend the freenode christmas do! people have become all sick and pulled out so i am left with several meals going spare and this upsets me! | 10:30 |
| czajkowski | christel: you back in the UK | 10:33 |
| christel | yes maam! | 10:33 |
| christel | you can come tomorrow too! | 10:33 |
| christel | :P | 10:33 |
| MooDoo | christel: create ubuntu-uk doggy bags ;) | 10:34 |
| christel | haha | 10:34 |
| * czajkowski will be living in hampshire as of 6pm today | 10:34 | |
| czajkowski | I am still in two minds about this | 10:34 |
| christel | czajkowski: PERFECT! then you MUST come | 10:34 |
| MooDoo | czajkowski: moved house? | 10:35 |
| christel | it can double as the WELCOME BAKC czajkowski PARTY | 10:35 |
| czajkowski | might try as other half wont be around | 10:35 |
| christel | yay :D | 10:35 |
| czajkowski | christel: can you mail with location so I can figure out directions | 10:35 |
| christel | yesss | 10:35 |

| bigcalm | Morning davmor2 | 10:55 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: hellooooooo | 10:56 |
| mungojerry | went to london devops meeting yesterday, was v good | 10:59 |
| directhex | popey, the wii mini has bizarre timing too. are there really that many houses that wanted a wii but don't have one due to size? | 11:06 |
| directhex | it's not as if the sensor bar's shrunk | 11:06 |
| MooDoo | hello davmor2 yes i'm gine, christel was just inviting the planet to a christmas party ;) lol | 11:06 |
| dwatkins | directhex: perhaps it's cheaper too | 11:07 |
| directhex | dwatkins, a little, but the existing wii is already heavily discounted | 11:07 |
| directhex | like, under a hundred quid | 11:07 |
| directhex | the price dropped when they removed gamecube support | 11:07 |
| dwatkins | yeah, oh my, a Lego Wii controller... | 11:07 |
| popey | they removed gc support? | 11:09 |
| popey | was that done in a hardware rev? | 11:09 |
| dwatkins | I guess Dolphin must work well enough as an emulator... ;) | 11:10 |
| bigcalm | Workstation reboot and the samba shares connect this time. Grr | 11:11 |
| directhex | popey, removed in the first wii revision without a stand | 11:12 |
| directhex | i think that was used in mario & sonic at the olympic games bundles | 11:12 |
| bigcalm | Cupcake for breakfast - living the life | 11:13 |
| dwatkins | dreaming the rainbow | 11:16 |
| davmor2 | dwatkins: oh you have a packet of skittles then | 11:16 |
| dwatkins | davmor2: sadly not, they have too much sugar for my liking | 11:16 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: sugar my butt, it's too much rainbow for you to handle ;) | 11:23 |
| MooDoo | and that was meant for dwatkins lol | 11:23 |
| dwatkins | MooDoo: haha, if only | 11:24 |
| bootinfdsds | anybody about ? | 13:23 |
| bashrc | no | 13:23 |
| bootinfdsds | :( | 13:24 |
| bootinfdsds | AlanBell, Did you get some coins from the IoM today ? | 13:24 |
| AlanBell | ooh, dunno, not been home yet :) | 13:25 |
| AlanBell | but thanks! | 13:25 |
| bootinfdsds | Oh Ok .. well tell me when you do, thank-you. | 13:26 |
| bootinfdsds | AlanBell, The IoMLUG has beemn called off till next year, TBHonest Dan never really gave it a chance and so I have formed a G-LUG group of a couple of people. We're mostly online but were looking to-do more in the new year. | 13:29 |
| bootinfdsds | Apart from the iom.lug.org.uk being a contradiction in terms, I feel as though the community could be better versed with a GLUG.im for serving the Manx community. | 13:30 |
| bashrc | Is the isle of man embracing linux? | 13:34 |
| === popey_ is now known as popey | ||
| popey | does the G in G-LUG mean GNU perchance bootinfdsds ? | 13:38 |
| === p is now known as Guest8579 | ||
| === Guest8579 is now known as PeteB | ||
| davmor2 | popey: Nope it stands for Gangnam | 13:49 |
| MartijnVdS | Gangnam-LUG? | 14:18 |
| brobostigon | now that, would be so sad. | 14:20 |
| AlanBell | oppa linux style | 14:20 |
| DJones | Argh, dual screen set up nicely & all working yesterday, now just have to fix the pebkac that keeps leaving me in the wrong window on the wrong screen | 14:25 |
| SuperMatt | are programs loading on the wrong screen? | 14:31 |
| DJones | NO, programs are on the right screen, its just the user thats forgetting which screen/window/app is active | 14:35 |
| SuperMatt | fair enough | 14:37 |
| SuperMatt | I tend to set mine up with "working" apps on the left hand screen, and my browser and email client sit on the right | 14:37 |
| DJones | I do the opposite, personal apps (polly, thunderbird, pidgin, irssi) on the left screen, work/business apps, Libreoffice etc on the right, and then use the left screen for browsing if I need to research something | 14:40 |
| DJones | For some reason, I look at the left screen more often :) | 14:40 |
| SuperMatt | I couldn't begin to understandn why | 14:42 |
| gord | might be a bit sacrilegious to say here, but windows 8 is *really* nice on multi-monitor. you can basically turn one monitor into a really nice big tablet and the other stays as a "regular" ui | 14:42 |
| czajkowski | anyone know how one contacts amazon | 14:58 |
| czajkowski | I have been shipped someones kiddie xmas gifts | 14:58 |
| czajkowski | about 4 board games | 14:59 |
| MartijnVdS | czajkowski: there's a "return items" thing in the box with them | 14:59 |
| MartijnVdS | czajkowski: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/css/returns/homepage.html/ref=hy_f_4 | 14:59 |
| gord | is it not someone near to you that you can just pop round to their house? | 15:00 |
| czajkowski | MartijnVdS: nope | 15:00 |
| czajkowski | gord: nope it's a french order | 15:00 |
| czajkowski | all the games are in french | 15:00 |
| gord | ha | 15:00 |
| MartijnVdS | czajkowski: they also have a "Contact us" -> https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/contact-us/ref=hp_ss_comp_cu?ie=UTF8&nodeId=471044 for me | 15:00 |
| gord | that is quite lost | 15:00 |
| popey | heh, we got wrong stuff one year | 15:01 |
| popey | loads of books I would have ordered anyway | 15:02 |
| czajkowski | whoo have them calling me now | 15:02 |
| czajkowski | popey: aye just dont want someone missing their kids presents | 15:02 |
| czajkowski | looks nice stuff and cost them a cuple of hundred euros | 15:02 |
| czajkowski | as I can see that receipt | 15:02 |
| czajkowski | ok seems I can keep the stuff or donate to charity | 15:09 |
| czajkowski | as there is no returns label n the box | 15:09 |
| czajkowski | so they can't generate a label for me as I cant give them a reference number | 15:09 |
| czajkowski | popey: would therealpopey like them for her school class they are all in french ? | 15:09 |
| gord | every time i call amazon up about, well, anything, they just tell me to keep it and they'll send another. i love amazon | 15:23 |
| gord | apart from the kindle that i smashed, but they still just replaced it for free with no quibbles | 15:24 |
| popey | czajkowski, ooh! that'd be lovely, that do french.. what are they? books? | 15:31 |
| czajkowski | popey: board games | 15:32 |
| popey | oh sweet, yeah, if you don't want them I'm sure the school would love them, thanks | 15:35 |
| czajkowski | grand | 15:39 |
| czajkowski | done | 15:39 |
| czajkowski | and sorted | 15:39 |
| czajkowski | :) | 15:39 |
| czajkowski | one less thing to worry about | 15:39 |
| czajkowski | just dont like things going to waste and unlike jon I don't horde things up for years! | 15:39 |
| czajkowski | he's rather special you know | 15:39 |

| popey | \o/ | 15:54 |
| SuperMatt | popey: that's wonderful news | 16:03 |
| SuperMatt | now my question. In Fedora 18, tty1 is the gui, but it's tty7 on ubuntu. Is there a reason why it's still tty7? | 16:04 |
| popey | what's the rationale for changing it? | 16:05 |
| shauno | I'd assume some combination of entrenched inertia, and "if it ain't broke" | 16:05 |
| gord | if they changed it there would be a lot of "omg my computer is broken i can't get back to my desktop" support issues | 16:06 |
| SuperMatt | well, I just would have thought people would expect the main place for doing things would exist a 1, not 7 | 16:06 |
| BigRedS | I think once you've got the hang of TTYs you pretty quickly remember the guis on 7 | 16:06 |
| BigRedS | actually, I don't. I always go for 8 first... | 16:07 |
| shauno | on the other hand, I'd expect anyone who's actually dropping down to a tty to know what/why | 16:07 |
| cocoa117 | what's the best way to execute a command without user interaction, e.g. create folder mkdir /srv/abc/abc | 16:14 |
| cocoa117 | i mean through SSH | 16:14 |
| popey | cocoa117, nohup? | 16:17 |
| cocoa117 | popey, ssh test@test..., then what | 16:18 |
| popey | oh, you want to run a command on a remote box? | 16:18 |
| popey | ssh user@host -e '/bin/bash -c <command>' | 16:19 |
| cocoa117 | popey, yes, all i need was copy file to a server using SCP, but then there are sometimes the folder i want to copy to might not exist yet | 16:19 |
| popey | I'd use rsync :) | 16:20 |
| popey | it will create the folders | 16:20 |
| cocoa117 | popey, ennn, probably a good idea, never cross my mind, :) | 16:20 |
| cocoa117 | rsync with ssh, :), i try that | 16:21 |
| cocoa117 | popey, is there a parameter i need to use with rsync to make sure it create folder if it doesn't exist on the server side? | 16:29 |
| popey | cocoa117, look at -R in the man page.. may help | 16:31 |
| dwatkins | wouldn't that be '-r'? I use that and rsync creates directories where needed. | 16:33 |
| popey | gord, you still use your x220 much or have you moved on? | 16:56 |
| cocoa117 | popey, en, rsync don't really solve my issue here, the initial login folder need to exist first | 16:59 |
| directhex | wiiiiiiii! | 17:12 |
| MartijnVdS | Woo! http://qi.com/the-qi-advent-calendar | 17:15 |
| gord | popey, yeah i still use it all the time, i tried to replace it with a tablet, but that didn't go well, so i'm still using it | 17:16 |
| popey | gord, is yours the i7? | 17:16 |
| gord | i3 | 17:17 |
| popey | ah | 17:17 |
| gord | my x220 purchase was based mostly on "oh crap my laptop just died and there is a sprint just around the corner, what is the cheapest but nice machine i can get" | 17:18 |

| andrews | hi all - can anyone help me? I have an external usb Samsung S2 harddrive which I am trying to get working in Linux so I can wipe it (its come from a windows NTFS system) but Ubuntu wont let me do anything with it - I can see it in the "computer" section but cant actually do anything with it. Can anyone tell me in laymans terms how to get it working? | 19:56 |
| directhex | andrews, click the dash button, and type "part" - with luck you should have gparted partition editor installed | 19:59 |
| directhex | andrews, you can use this to reformat any partitions on the drive using the filesystem of your choice | 19:59 |
| andrews | thanks for this, though sorry for sounding like a plonker, whats the dash button? | 20:01 |
| MartijnVdS | andrews: the one in the top left | 20:01 |
| MartijnVdS | the one with the Ubuntu logo | 20:02 |
| andrews | ah cheers. found the disk utility - that will do it wont it? | 20:03 |
| jacobw2 | yeah | 20:04 |
| jacobw2 | andrews: you can use NTFS with Linux, but it's easier to use filesystem with POSIX permissions like ext4 | 20:05 |
| andrews | thanks, I want to wipe the drive to back up my imac - as such it wont read the current ntfs system | 20:06 |
| andrews | so i have to use my ubuntu laptop to wipe the drive | 20:06 |
| directhex | you probably want FAT32 then, if it's for use with multiple OSes | 20:07 |
| directhex | note: 4gb maximum size for a single file on FAT32 | 20:07 |
| andrews | once i can get my mac to see it, i can re-format it again hopefully, though think that my mac has put a Oxaf partition there. | 20:11 |

| dwatkins | what if they don't fit? | 20:21 |
| popey | i didnt know this! | 20:21 |
| mgdm | dwatkins: they will, I have had the same type before :) | 20:21 |
| dwatkins | ah good, mgdm - I've noticed even for a given manufacturer, the same numbered size is often quite different. | 20:21 |
| mgdm | I've been wearing this type in this size since I was about 12 | 20:22 |
| mgdm | it's my go-to shoe | 20:22 |

| mgdm | at the risk of a flaming, anyone going to FOSDEM who does PHP... you have about 4 hours to submit a talk to the PHP devroom... | 20:24 |
| dwatkins | which ones, mgdm? | 20:25 |
| mgdm | dwatkins: Adidas Sambas :) | 20:27 |
| dwatkins | I like Converse, but I tend to wear trainers mostly. | 20:27 |
| mgdm | Converse last me about 2 months | 20:27 |
