[00:24] <solarcloud_3scrn> He's not the End of the world he's a very naughty, naughty new-Epoch.
[01:22] <Goshawk> Is it possible to run an xbox on a pc with linux and if so, how would i go about it?
[01:26] <Goshawk> Would it be as simple as getting an adaptor plug for the screen? Or could I run it through the desktop?
[08:54] <popey> morning
[08:54] <TheOpenSourcerer> morning popey
[08:54] <TheOpenSourcerer> I've just been reading about Backflushing :-)
[09:03] <kvarley> Can anybody recommend any good guides/tutorials on how to setup a PC as a firewall? The system will be running Ubuntu server.
[09:04] <kvarley> join /networking
[09:19] <JamesTait> Happy end-of-the-world day, everyone! :-D
[09:19] <czajkowski> aloha
[09:33] <BigRedS> Good Morning!
[10:15] <brobostigon> good morning everyone.
[10:18] <kvarley> brobostigon: \o
[10:19] <brobostigon> morning kvarley
[10:19] <bigcalm> Morning peeps :)
[10:19] <brobostigon> morning bigcalm
[10:19] <kvarley> How goes it?
[10:20] <brobostigon> not bad overall, and you?
[10:20] <kvarley> Pretty good :)
[10:20] <brobostigon> :)
[10:30] <bigcalm> Looking for an SD card for my RPi - will one from Tesco do or should I look deeper into possibilities?
[10:32] <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.
[10:33] <bigcalm> brobostigon: has this been proved? I hear tales of some higher classes not providing the same through put as some lower class ones
[10:34] <brobostigon> bigcalm: no idea, i am theorising,
[10:34] <bigcalm> :)
[10:34] <brobostigon> :)
[10:43] <mungojerry> `recobutton
[10:43] <mungojerry> sorry i pressed my green button while irc was focused
[10:47] <dwatkins> how could you?
[10:48] <popey> bigcalm, pretty sure it's documented on their wiki
[10:51] <sprmtt> wow, rosa is a kde based distro that doesn't suck
[10:53] <bigcalm> Humm, boot from an sdcard, run the os from a usb memory stick
[12:59] <mungojerry> can i disable areas of RAM for a laptop with soldered on memory?
[12:59] <mungojerry> memtest is puking at 129MB
[13:03] <shauno> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/1071209
[13:03] <shauno> I'd take a look at that first.  129 may not be a coincidence
[13:04] <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
[13:05] <mungojerry> my lubuntu install was not working but may be unrelated
[13:08] <mungojerry> its a bad bug tho
[13:09] <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
[13:57] <directhex> mungojerry, fwiw, yes, you can
[14:01] <directhex> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BadRAM
[15:21] <solarcloud_3scrn> TheOpenSourcerer, Nice post .. just got the email... https://dl.dropbox.com/u/55128914/Attachments%20Email%20Xchat/She%20sells%20sea%20Shells.pdf
[16:09] <oimon> anyone know what repos are in a default debian install?
[16:09] <oimon> ran a minimal install without a net connection

[16:10] <brobostigon> http.debian.net :)
[16:11] <oimon> huh?
[16:12] <brobostigon> that is the mirror chooser.
[16:12] <oimon> what's the entries in sources.list please?

[16:17] <brobostigon> deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ stable main

[16:22] <brobostigon> :D
[16:23] <oimon> have an ancient laptop thats just gonna be a weechat client
[16:23] <brobostigon> ah
[16:23] <oimon> obviously it flies in console mode, may even risk lxde but it has 256mb and i can't find my stash
[16:24] <brobostigon> :(
[16:25] <oimon> what's a lighter wm i could use? the tiling ones shouldn't use much RAM?
[16:25] <oimon> maybe i don't need WM tbh
[16:25] <brobostigon> screen :)
[16:26] <brobostigon> byobu. :)
[16:26] <oimon> or big borther byobu

[16:38] <oimon> what is that g+ profile about?
[16:39] <solarcloud_3scrn> just a gmail thingy, shouldn't worry about it. (not like youtube where they give you a profile name or anything).
[16:39] <oimon> i have a eee pc 701 in one site connecting to a inspiron 1000 laptop at the other site
[16:39] <oimon> running irc
[16:40] <solarcloud_3scrn> Probablybest if I send you a screenshooterist, hangon...
[16:42] <oimon> unlike my "new" laptop which i just realised is nearly 5 years old
[16:44] <oimon> although the battery in it is bad, the rest of it is v good
[16:46] <mungbean> hello
[16:47] <oimon> hello
[16:52] <solarcloud_3scrn> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/55128914/Lubuntu%20docs/Scrreenshot.png
[16:52] <mgdm> dammit, my 3-month-old laptop battery has died
[16:52] <oimon> thats bad
[16:52] <oimon> but "good" in that they are covered by 1yr warranty right?
[16:52] <brobostigon> time bandits, film4, in 3 mins. :)
[16:53] <mgdm> well, given it was an eBay special, I'm not sure
[16:53] <oimon> ship date on the inspiron 1000 was 06/04/2005
[16:53] <oimon> not bad, shame about the low mem
[16:53] <solarcloud_3scrn> oimon, did you get that lat post ?
[16:54] <oimon> ah i see.
[16:55] <oimon> on the profile page i just aw a post about a eee pc
[16:55] <solarcloud_3scrn> oimon, thought it was pertintent.
[16:56] <oimon> i haven't used the g+ communities yet
[16:57] <solarcloud_3scrn> oimon, You don't need to .. just tell us here with dropbox and I'll post the pic for you :)
[16:57] <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
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <solarcloud_3scrn> oimon, lxde is the lubuntu- Desktop Environment, I have it on my Amilo.
[17:02] <oimon> yep
[17:03] <solarcloud_3scrn> oimon, What IRC client are you running.. gnomeIRC/pidgin/Xchat-WDK ?
[17:06] <solarcloud_3scrn>        ... I'm thnkin' BenQ issues
[17:08] <shauno> oimon: glad to hear it :)  the 129 bit just rang a bell
[17:10] <solarcloud_3scrn> oimon, yeah, I lost a Lindy Displayport Adapter just now
[17:11] <oimon> solarcloud_3scrn: on this laptop pidgin, on the ancient ones weechat

[17:12] <oimon> my son just asked me to put uncle buble on the telly
[17:13] <oimon> weechat is like irssi
[17:14] <solarcloud_3scrn> weechat  source http://www.weechat.org/files/src/weechat-0.3.9.2.tar.gz , tasks https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?group=weechat , devkit http://dev.weechat.org/ , Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/weechat/ , G+ https://plus.google.com/102544516035551247301
[17:15] <solarcloud_3scrn> looks god so far ... never used irissi/weechat except on W$indows-XP/Home.
[17:16] <solarcloud_3scrn> **good
[17:17] <oimon> has anyone tried the free servers from chunkhost?
[17:18] <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)
[17:20] <solarcloud_3scrn> I mostly use spideroak on the Amilo anyhow :)
[17:27] <bigcalm> Is there a web cam viewing app for debian that doesn't require a bazillion other packages? Required for my RPi
[17:30] <solarcloud_3scrn> oimon, I've  PM'd you.
[17:32] <oimon> hey did you just that that weechat up solarcloud_3scrn?
[17:33] <oimon> that looks a cool setup
[17:33] <solarcloud_3scrn> it was on the G+comm. page
[17:33] <oimon> i saw the pics, look ince
[17:34] <oimon> nice
[17:34] <solarcloud_3scrn> Yeah , use ** 4 corrections..
[17:34] <solarcloud_3scrn> **for
[17:36] <solarcloud_3scrn> oimon, FY.I the G+comm. is now here .. https://plus.google.com/communities/104181302778416960107
[17:57] <oimon> wow i never thought i'd have to do ndiswrapper again until now
[17:58] <brobostigon> p/win 7
[18:00] <oimon> or use a pcmcia card
[18:04] <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
[18:05] <oimon> toddler + 10m cable = fun
[18:06] <brobostigon> yank. woops.
[18:08] <oimon> it is toddler proof in that one end is broken clip
[18:08] <oimon> hence not broken laptop port
[18:09] <brobostigon> ah.
[18:09] <oimon> argh i don't think wpa-2 is supported
[18:13] <jacobw> evening
[18:17] <DJones> I think I've got 2 pcmcia cards in a box in the loft
[18:19] <MartijnVdS> wow pcmcia cards
[18:19] <MartijnVdS> haven't seen those for years :)
[18:19] <daftykins> i've still got a Pentium III 400MHz Dell ultra-portable laptop that has one for its' wireless :o
[18:19] <daftykins> i don't want to throw out that machine either :(
[20:11] <KrimZon_2> what's the fix for when the hard disk keeps switching off and on in linux?
[20:12] <KrimZon_2> the power saving issues
[20:16] <solarcloud_3scrn> Crumbs that's a hard one  ::: Anyone remember this guy (??) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BonziBUDDY (???)
[20:20] <ali1234> solarcloud_3scrn: YES
[20:20] <ali1234> how could i forget?
[20:21] <ali1234> KrimZon_2: some hdparm magic. be careful not to low level format your disk though
[20:22] <solarcloud_3scrn> ali1234, He hasn't tweeted in a-while :: https://twitter.com/REAL_BonziBUDDY
[20:23] <ali1234> i like to compare new-fangled desktop environments to him when i'm feeling uncharitable
[20:25] <ali1234> someone should make a bonzibuddy lens
[20:25] <ali1234> is that even possible? can we draw whatever into the dash through a plugin?
[20:26] <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 :(
[20:27] <solarcloud_3scrn> ali1234, I think it was just trying to get the right kinda hue .. http://www.meethue.com/en-US/getstarted
[20:28] <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!
[20:29] <solarcloud_3scrn> Web-Link ??
[20:29] <ali1234> it's on the wikipedia page you linked
[20:30] <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
[20:33] <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
[20:34] <solarcloud_3scrn> ali1234, What does UX meaning to you ??
[20:34] <ali1234> user experience
[20:35] <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)
[20:36] <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 ?
[20:37] <ali1234> no?
[20:37]  * solarcloud_3scrn bangs his head on his french desk.
[20:38] <solarcloud_3scrn> ali1234, If you have no book titled *UX* then how can you know anything about Desktop Environments ?
[20:40] <SuperEngineer> solarcloud_3scrn: I have no book about gravity - but, trust me, I do know everything about it ;)
[20:42] <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.
[20:59] <AlanBell> ali1234: basically just results: image, title, subtitle
[21:00] <AlanBell> gnome-shell on the other hand you can put in pretty much anything using the st toolkit
[23:19] <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
[23:21] <daftykins> it's low-res, i doubt you'd want to maximise it :D
[23:22] <daftykins> good ol' scumm
[23:30] <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
