[00:40] ?ask [00:40] -help is normally best for that - what's up? [00:40] !ask | ammar_ [00:40] ammar_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:41] I really need to build factoids into my client so I don't continually get confused by different triggers :P [00:42] i have wireless usb card (lb-link) i want to use it with ubuntu but it doesnt work i installed the driver from the cd that came with the adapter put that didnt work [00:42] ammar_: the usb stick came with Linux drivers? [00:43] yes [00:43] that's cool [00:43] hmm, dunno then. Maybe contact support for that product [00:43] when i write lsusb i get this [00:43] 1. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub 2. Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 3. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub [00:44] stop! [00:44] please don't paste lots [00:44] sorry [00:44] ammar_: Use a pastebin, or I guess there is probably a lsusb line for just your device? [00:45] i guiss you mean this [00:45] Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [00:46] which version of Ubuntu? [00:46] i don not know [00:47] ammar_: Do you have a cog icon in the top right hand corner? [00:47] what is cog???? [00:48] like a spiky circle [00:48] no [00:48] my ubuntu came with some program called reaver [00:48] ok, what does your screen look like - do you have a strip of buttons down the left hand side? [00:50] yes [00:50] and across the top what do you have? [00:51] i am using ubuntu 10.04 lts [00:51] ah ok [00:51] i fiound it [00:51] ammar_: So that's pretty old, it wouldn't surprise me if one of the newer versions had support [00:52] does it matter if its old?? [00:52] ammar_: Newer Ubuntu has support for newer hardware built in [00:53] so i have to get a newer one [00:54] that would be my suggestion [00:55] thank you but i dont think i can because i live in syria [00:55] ah, from what I hear you are lucky to have any internet at all [00:56] thats right [00:56] ammar_: There may be people who have the driver for that chip working on older Uuntu's [00:57] linux is not popular os ih here no body uses it me my self use windows but i like to learn more about linux [01:01] penguin42 thank you my friend [01:17] Anyone have any cool tricks for storing a lot of cables? [01:17] and organising in some sane manner [01:18] * penguin42 has mine in a large box in a big knotted pile [01:18] Azelphur: Velcro is a good thing [01:19] velcro ties around the cables? [01:19] nod, for larger cables [01:19] fun [01:19] you can get some premade velcro ties, you can also get some rolls of double sided velcro that you just cut up, that's cheaper [01:21] I see [03:07] If hdparam says that my ssd read speed is 6GB/s (cached) and 200 MB/s (buffered) everything is ok and ssd works fine in CD-rom place? [05:53] Aivaras: Rather a delayed response, but: although many of #ubuntu's denizens are technical people, they tend not to be up in the wee hours of the morning. #ubuntu is active pretty much 24/7, though. [05:53] ...That first #ubuntu should have been #ubuntu-uk, in case that wasn't clear. [05:54] yeah, point taken. :) [05:55] Clearly some of us are occasionally, or we wouldn't be having this exchange :P [07:35] OT but UK related question, anyone know how I'd fix this? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3832397/Photos/2012/December/2012-12-07-072842_503x658_scrot.png [07:35] I want them to deliver to my "front" door ideally [07:43] Azelphur: offer delivery people beer/food to do it right? ;) [07:43] haha, that's one way [07:44] I was wondering if there was some official mechanism to get it changed [07:44] I have Amazon shipping me something soon, wonder where they'll put it :P [07:44] they come up to my door, even though my letter box is downstairs [07:44] but that's PostNL :) [07:44] ah cool [07:44] stage 1: get letterbox, step 2: bribe postman === RaringOne is now known as IdleOne [08:54] hi :) [08:57] morning all [09:24] ahoy hoy [09:24] * jacobw pokes solarcloud [09:27] lots of clouds here [09:27] Happy Friday, everyone! :-D [09:29] morning all [09:35] hello all [09:36] happy friday :) [09:36] morning TheOpenSourcerer :) [09:37] lo popey [09:37] * popey had to get the kids to get me water and paracetamol this morning [09:38] I did the school run this morning. 1st person I saw was Katie Dodson. She asked how my head was and if there was anywhere in farnham I hadn't been yesterday. [09:39] haha [09:39] you guys been party animals again? [09:40] i am not completely clear on how I got home [09:40] i think i got on a train at farnham and may have slept past woking [09:40] ooh, i have a graze on my hand [09:40] ha ha [09:41] popey: Did you try to eat oranges from the trees in the street as well? :) [09:41] where do you think we live!? [09:42] popey: it's what Jono did in Seville ;) [09:42] oh yes [09:42] morning folks [09:43] morning s-fox [09:45] hi MooDoo [09:45] are you well ? [09:46] TheOpenSourcerer, that chinese food was yummy [09:46] morning [09:47] that was quite some lunch [09:50] maybe i am being super unobservant but has the youtube layout changed? [09:51] Mornign AlanBell [09:52] Mrs TheOpenSourcerer will deliver me to the office just in time for the Office party :-) [09:53] jolly good, wake me up when you get here [09:54] s-fox: youtube has been changing a bit lately [09:56] do we need a G+ community? [09:56] who doesn't? [09:58] bless [10:00] thanks MartijnVdS , i wasn't completely sure... [10:01] Gosh - popey remember the chap with the moustache in The Mulberry? [10:01] He's found me on Linkedin already! [10:02] have you been chatting up young men again TheOpenSourcerer [10:02] not me. Twas popey [10:03] hah [10:03] did you give him your card? [10:06] good morning everyone, [10:07] Hi brobostigon [10:07] hi s-fox [10:09] popey: No. [10:09] blimey [10:09] I don't even remember telling him my name [10:09] Other than "Al" [10:10] My parents are looking for a colour laser printer that works with Ubuntu, any ideas? They currently have a Canon which is absolutely awful, prints one page then stops working all together. [10:10] "betty" [10:10] kvarley: I have been very happy with my Xerox 6130n [10:10] It's an old module but works fine. [10:11] kvarley: HP ones work well [10:11] * MartijnVdS has a CP1515n [10:11] neat! [10:12] http://www.office.xerox.com/printers/color-printers/phaser-6130/enus.html [10:12] "We no longer sell this product, but please check out its replacement. > " [10:12] http://www.office.xerox.com/printers/color-printers/phaser-6500/enus.html [10:12] set phasers to stun! [10:12] 3.3/5 reviews [10:13] Thanks, I was considering HP as well MartijnVdS. They're the only brand I've had no problems with, always been plug and play with Ubuntu :) [10:13] kvarley: Brother is good as well, make sure it supports their clone of Postscript [10:18] * TheOpenSourcerer wonders why he's feeling rather fragile today. [10:20] hangover central <------- , also. [10:20] I blame Alan [10:21] which one ? [10:21] Any and all [10:21] ok, [10:21] :) [10:23] I have just discovered my phone took loads of pictures of popey yesterday. I have no recollection of doing so whatsoever. [10:24] erk [10:24] lol [10:24] I feel a G+ album post coming up. [10:26] i took a photo of the road it seems [10:26] and the wall in the toilet [10:27] again, lol. [10:32] Did you have your calendar popey? [10:33] yes [10:33] Lovely isn't it :-) [10:33] oh, hang on [10:33] thought you meant my google calendar [10:33] no, is that what it is? [10:33] not opened it [10:35] oh, nice [10:40] moved house didn't bring my desk, had to improvise somewhere to put it temporarily :P https://www.dropbox.com/s/ai1i3cdyxeo0bpb/2012-12-06%2005.44.07.jpg?m [10:41] hey, I have a desk like that :) [10:41] hehe [10:41] but not in my kitchen [10:42] kitchen is totally the best place for it [10:42] TEA! [10:42] xD [10:43] enough irc windows azelphur :P [10:43] pndemc: nah, need moar [10:44] anyone know of a program like htop for monitoring live dl/ul stats? [10:44] pndemc: nethogs [10:51] iptraf [10:55] Azelphur, thanks, exactly what I was looking for [10:55] pndemc: :) [11:06] * czajkowski tickles gord [11:16] czajkowski! [11:16] christel! [11:16] hey chicken [11:17] what are you up to pretty girl? are you all settled in your new house? :) [11:17] narp heading down tonight in the office today [11:17] aha! [11:17] all the stuff I dumped on the bed a week ago [11:17] need to unpack [11:17] haha [11:17] and make it all settled in [11:18] :) [11:18] I want to run an irc daemon for 3-10 users. Any recommendations? [11:19] * Azelphur shops around for a TV \o/ [11:19] BigRedS: if anyone knows, it's christel :) [11:20] MartijnVdS: yeah, though she knows what to use for gajillions of users :) [11:21] BigRedS: imperial or metric gajillions? :) [11:24] i presume you dont need a lot of fancy "extras" for a tiny network so i'd probably go with ratbox :) [11:32] christel: yeah, that's basically it - I want something relatively idiot-proof and I don't need to run more than one node or do any management [11:32] I can directly punch misbehaving users... [11:32] thanks! [11:33] :) [11:34] Now I'm feeling vaguely back to normal - I have started thinking about Curry... [11:35] yummy [11:38] didn't they go bust? [11:54] Hah, from ratbox config : /* REMOVE ME. The following line checks you've been reading. */ [11:54] havent_read_conf = yes; [11:55] MooDoo: Boo!!!!!! [11:55] Morning all [12:03] davmor2: arrrrrgh [12:04] MooDoo: muhahahahahaha I'm just that evil ;) [12:04] davmor2: i know [12:21] AlanBell: there is an app called xeoma that might take your fancy with your funky webcam :) [12:22] AlanBell: I have no idea how much it is [12:25] dasilva1672 [12:51] phpls === SirCrispinTheJew is now known as WillemTheMarxist [13:12] BigRedS, does it need to be irc? isn't there some zeroconfig service that allows this without irc [13:14] mungojerry: Not necessarily, it seemed the simplest option, though [13:15] also, we're not always on the same local net, so it can't rely on zeroconf [13:15] rasp pi would be useful use case for a mini irc server :) [13:15] we all work at hosting companies - the server and all the clients are 1u boxes [14:03] when running screened cat5 cable, anyone know what you're supposed to do with the drain wire? [14:03] BigRedS: connect to the metal outer part of the connector [14:03] BigRedS: or, if you use all-plastic connectors.. you got the wrong connectors and you just snip it off, and your screen will be useless ;) [14:04] haha, cool. ta! I guess that if the connectors are plastic there's no help by attaching one end to ground or anything? [14:04] wow, Sony are full of fail for how difficult it is to register a TV to use with Lovefilm. [14:05] BigRedS: not really, I guess [14:05] dwatkins: Samsung is just as bad (with several Dutch on-line film things) [14:06] MartijnVdS: cool. I'm several people down a chain of questions, want to find the fullest answer I can [14:06] so I'll disregard the conflicting google results, and go with the consistent IRC one :) [14:06] BigRedS: The "all metal" wire is ground, which should be connected to the metal bit of the connector, which should connect to "Ground" on one (or more?) devices [14:07] yeah, so I was wondering if there's no metal on the connector whether it'd be worth just attaching it to the (presumably grounded) case at one end [14:07] BigRedS: http://store.freenet-antennas.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=468 [14:07] MartijnVdS: I guess I shouldn't be surprised [14:07] BigRedS: you'd use those [14:07] I recall earth loops being a problem in grounding both ends, but can't really remember. There's good reason I don't go anywhere near hardware :) [14:11] Good afternoon peeps :) [14:12] BigRedS: earth loops.. ugh :) [14:12] don't remind me [14:12] hahaha [15:30] :( [15:30] :( ? [15:30] Only World of Goo works in my Steam beta [15:31] VVVVVV has no executable [15:31] SpaceCheck is b0rken in interesting ways [15:31] Spacechem* [15:31] and TF2 shows a black screen (audio works though) [15:33] * MartijnVdS installs TF2 Beta, maybe that works better [15:34] (9.4MB/s \o/) [15:34] MartijnVdS, http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/12qs6z/steam_for_linux_its_here_deb_in_the_link/c6xf19p [15:36] popey: I blame my Intel graphics [15:36] ahh [15:37] I get the black screen when I play TF2 on Intel [15:37] or try to play [15:37] 9.7MB/second [15:37] Which is a bit of a shame - my laptop was the thing I was hoping to get Windows off [15:37] ♥ Fibre [15:38] BigRedS: I run it on my desktop, but I don't want an ATi/NVidia card [15:44] directhex: how did you get TF2 to work on Intel graphics? [15:44] directhex: (as you mention in that Reddit post) [16:14] lol, Lord Sugar vs Donald Trump http://storify.com/loveandgarbage/modern-culture-in-microcosm-a-sociological-survey [16:17] I'm still not sure I believe Trump's account is real [16:21] MartijnVdS, i just ran it. do you have the s2tc package installed? [16:21] BigRedS, it's verified real, he's just a buffoon [16:22] directhex: I have libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:amd64 and libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:i386 [16:23] directhex: yeah, it just still doesn't seem believable [16:24] MartijnVdS, which intel chip? [16:25] [ 18.959] (--) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) Clarkdale [16:26] huh, clarkdale is pretty modern [16:26] it's an i3-530 - so it's the "Intel® HD Graphics" before they got numbers [16:27] fails in game or before then (e.g. main menu)? [16:27] directhex: Before - I don't even get the "man with a valve on his face" thing (only the sound) [16:28] I just get a black screen after clicking 'Play' in steam [16:28] maybe if I reboot.. uptime is almost a month again 8-) [16:32] anyone here from the uk and have problems playing cotent on 4od? [16:35] you probably need to install flashplugin-installer [16:35] I can't test, not in the UK [16:38] directhex: it's the driver I think.. Big Picture mode also crashes [16:38] s/also// [16:38] did you enable the intel driver backport repo? [16:38] directhex: I'm on 12.10 -- do I have to? [16:39] hm, probably not. probably [16:39] where can I find it? [16:39] i'm on my desktop right now, can't check [16:39] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [16:41] hmmm, libva updateses [16:47] thanks everyone [16:48] i thought this irc was idel for a moment [16:49] i have flashplugin-installer already installed [16:49] flash works ok [16:50] its just programs on 4od which is weird [16:50] Is there an error, or does it just "not work" [16:52] yeah there is an error one sec ill just get it [16:55] it just comes up with "A digital rights error has occured, please see help section" [16:55] ad the help section just shows flash player [16:56] it is vague i know [16:57] DRM errors.. is your clock set correctly? [16:59] you mean just the standard clock? [16:59] that is working fine [17:00] andybrine: is it set to automatically sync time with the internet? [17:00] andybrine: (click on the clock -> settings) [17:01] yes, it is at the moment [17:02] does that need to be turned off? [17:02] no, that's good :) [17:02] then I don't know why it's not working [17:02] sorry [17:03] ok, no worries [17:03] thanks [17:12] cool, my PCIe->(Parallel & 2xserial) card has arrived from China [17:12] penguin42: how.. old-fashioned :) [17:12] MartijnVdS: I prefer to think of it as traditional [17:12] quaint ;) [17:13] odd aspect ratio card, it's depth is defined by being just long enough to get to a 1xPCIe socket, and it's height is defined by the size of a Parallel port connector [17:16] it's probably only one chip? [17:16] 3, one main one and a little maxim on each serial port [17:17] separate UARTs?! really? [17:18] no, they're line drivers; 3v-5v [17:18] http://www.ti.com/product/max3243 [17:18] but serial is -15V - +15V [17:19] oh wait [17:19] "Somewhere between -3 and -15 to somewhere between +3 and +15" [17:19] MartijnVdS: I think the main chip (Moschip MCS9901CV-cc) does PCIe to parallel, serial, a USB and an ISA if you wire it all up [17:19] penguin42: noice [17:20] there is a theory that it works with Linux, but the datasheet seems to be online if not [17:21] "Your next Album Day delivery is Friday 07 December, 2012. As a non-UK member, delivery will take a few days longer, depending on postal efficiency." [17:21] \o/ thealbumclub.com [17:22] well, there is a CD with a tar for Linux with a cryptic set of source [17:23] penguin42: 2.2-kernel-ish? [17:23] MartijnVdS: No, 2.6.31 [17:23] oh wow [17:24] penguin42: my experiences are .[D. different :) [17:26] MartijnVdS: Commented code with GPL headers intact [17:27] Wow. [17:27] (We'll find out if it works later!) [17:57] hello, i'm on ubuntu studio and using jack with supercollider. i want to record my desktop with audio to make a little youtube movie. what should i use to do the recording and how? recodmydesktop crashes when i try to run it [17:58] popey: knows about screencasting software [18:00] popey: your blog could do with a search :D [18:01] http://popey.com/blog/2009/08/25/getting-back-into-screencasting/ [18:02] Surprised that it's a 3yo entry. I thought you'd blogged about it a bit more since [18:03] * MartijnVdS geeft kinky een Ubuntu-Cd [18:03] hmm [18:03] wwe :) [18:03] bigcalm: he has.. there's other software now [18:04] Kazam!
