| bigcalm | Looking for an SD card for my RPi - will one from Tesco do or should I look deeper into possibilities? | 10:30 |
| brobostigon | bigcalm: i think, it has to be sdhc, and i would go for as higher class card as possible, to get as higher speeds as possible. | 10:32 |
| bigcalm | brobostigon: has this been proved? I hear tales of some higher classes not providing the same through put as some lower class ones | 10:33 |
| brobostigon | bigcalm: no idea, i am theorising, | 10:34 |
| bigcalm | :) | 10:34 |

| mungojerry | `recobutton | 10:43 |
| mungojerry | sorry i pressed my green button while irc was focused | 10:43 |
| dwatkins | how could you? | 10:47 |
| popey | bigcalm, pretty sure it's documented on their wiki | 10:48 |
| sprmtt | wow, rosa is a kde based distro that doesn't suck | 10:51 |
| bigcalm | Humm, boot from an sdcard, run the os from a usb memory stick | 10:53 |
| mungojerry | can i disable areas of RAM for a laptop with soldered on memory? | 12:59 |
| mungojerry | memtest is puking at 129MB | 12:59 |
| shauno | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/1071209 | 13:03 |
| lubotu3 | Ubuntu bug 1071209 in memtest86+ (Ubuntu Quantal) "memtest86+ test #7 false positives (random number sequence error)" [Medium,In progress] | 13:03 |
| shauno | I'd take a look at that first. 129 may not be a coincidence | 13:03 |
| mungojerry | thanks man :D | 13:04 |
| mungojerry | may have saved some effort | 13:04 |
| mungojerry | it was with lubuntu 12.10 usb stick | 13:04 |
| mungojerry | better put this beast back together | 13:04 |
| mungojerry | my lubuntu install was not working but may be unrelated | 13:05 |
| mungojerry | its a bad bug tho | 13:08 |
| shauno | I would say it's just misleading. but we tend to trust memtest enough that most people would be inclined to replace hardware before they start to suspect it | 13:09 |
| directhex | mungojerry, fwiw, yes, you can | 13:57 |

| oimon | shauno: ran memtest on the box now that debian installed, runs fine. thanks for that, i nearly destroyed a pc, cos the lubuntu installer wasn't working, and the bad memtest errors were on soldered mem | 16:57 |
| oimon | i have lxde on my super fast box at work, but it's a bit glitchy with xcompmgr and owncloud client crashes regularly with it | 17:00 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | oimon, lxde is the lubuntu- Desktop Environment, I have it on my Amilo. | 17:01 |
| oimon | yep | 17:02 |

| oimon | has anyone tried the free servers from chunkhost? | 17:17 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | Nah, I'm 4k under today as it is. Although you could get me onto their email list if you want (PM'd me) | 17:18 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | I mostly use spideroak on the Amilo anyhow :) | 17:20 |

| brobostigon | p/win 7 | 17:58 |
| oimon | or use a pcmcia card | 18:00 |
| popey | retro | 18:04 |
| popey | i found an old pcmcia network card the other day, couldn't bring myself to bin it | 18:04 |
| oimon | the laptop i'm setting up doesn't need wifi , but for setup purposes, is handy | 18:04 |
| oimon | toddler + 10m cable = fun | 18:05 |
| brobostigon | yank. woops. | 18:06 |
| oimon | it is toddler proof in that one end is broken clip | 18:08 |
| oimon | hence not broken laptop port | 18:08 |
| brobostigon | ah. | 18:09 |
| oimon | argh i don't think wpa-2 is supported | 18:09 |
| jacobw | evening | 18:13 |
| DJones | I think I've got 2 pcmcia cards in a box in the loft | 18:17 |
| MartijnVdS | wow pcmcia cards | 18:19 |

| KrimZon_2 | what's the fix for when the hard disk keeps switching off and on in linux? | 20:11 |
| KrimZon_2 | the power saving issues | 20:12 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | Crumbs that's a hard one ::: Anyone remember this guy (??) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BonziBUDDY (???) | 20:16 |
| ali1234 | solarcloud_3scrn: YES | 20:20 |
| ali1234 | how could i forget? | 20:20 |
| ali1234 | KrimZon_2: some hdparm magic. be careful not to low level format your disk though | 20:21 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | ali1234, He hasn't tweeted in a-while :: https://twitter.com/REAL_BonziBUDDY | 20:22 |
| ali1234 | i like to compare new-fangled desktop environments to him when i'm feeling uncharitable | 20:23 |
| ali1234 | someone should make a bonzibuddy lens | 20:25 |
| ali1234 | is that even possible? can we draw whatever into the dash through a plugin? | 20:25 |
| ali1234 | or just send a list of results? (boring) | 20:26 |
| ali1234 | i think i once asked about putting a shell into the dash | 20:26 |
| ali1234 | and the answer was no :( | 20:26 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | ali1234, I think it was just trying to get the right kinda hue .. http://www.meethue.com/en-US/getstarted | 20:27 |
| ali1234 | One reader was quoted as criticizing the program because it "kept popping up and obscuring things you needed to see." - sounds like windows 8, ba-zing! | 20:28 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | Web-Link ?? | 20:29 |
| ali1234 | it's on the wikipedia page you linked | 20:29 |
| ali1234 | it sounds like windows 8 because http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTYet-qf1jo | 20:30 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | oh, that .. I got it from eopinions http://www.epinions.com/cmsw-EmailChat-All-Bonzi_Buddy?sb=1 | 20:30 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | ali1234, just at 16:25 of your ytu.be video .. 'Index of UX guidlines' .. UX .. I think if anyone from Ubuntu mentioned that , everyone would have a field-day !!?! | 20:33 |
| ali1234 | unity isn't anywhere near as bad as metro | 20:33 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | ali1234, What does UX meaning to you ?? | 20:34 |
| ali1234 | user experience | 20:34 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | right, .. so you've a book with UX in the title on your shelf , right ?? | 20:35 |
| ali1234 | hmm... i have "3D User Interfaces In Java" | 20:35 |
| ali1234 | that talks a lot about user experience (ie expectations and communication) | 20:35 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | ali1234, It's a Yes or No Question. | 20:36 |
| ali1234 | though the phrase wasn't really in common use back then | 20:36 |
| ali1234 | back then it was just called "GUI design" | 20:36 |
| ali1234 | then No | 20:36 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | Are you Morrocan, or something ? | 20:36 |
| ali1234 | no? | 20:37 |
| * solarcloud_3scrn bangs his head on his french desk. | 20:37 | |
| solarcloud_3scrn | ali1234, If you have no book titled *UX* then how can you know anything about Desktop Environments ? | 20:38 |
| SuperEngineer | solarcloud_3scrn: I have no book about gravity - but, trust me, I do know everything about it ;) | 20:40 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | EngineerÕS, ali1234 ~fails to address the gravitas of the situation he presents, he wants food and it's like we're feeding him. | 20:42 |
| AlanBell | ali1234: basically just results: image, title, subtitle | 20:59 |
| AlanBell | gnome-shell on the other hand you can put in pretty much anything using the st toolkit | 21:00 |
| solarcloud_3scrn | How do I file bugs about an Ubuntu game again ? Can't maximise window in this one .. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/55128914/Lubuntu%20docs/ubuntu%20Meerkat%20Beneathe%20a%20Steele%20Sky.png | 23:19 |
| daftykins | it's low-res, i doubt you'd want to maximise it :D | 23:21 |
| daftykins | good ol' scumm | 23:22 |
| dwatkins | yeah, you'd have to log the bug against scummvm | 23:30 |
| dwatkins | It might be alt+enter, but I assume you've tried that, solarcloud_3scrn | 23:30 |
