| mrgt | ali1234, done. The one selected is x.org | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| ali1234 | ok, that's the open source driver. it is often not very good :( | 00:08 |
| mrgt | ali1234, ah.. okay | 00:08 |
| mrgt | ali1234, so should I select the other one? | 00:08 |
| ali1234 | you probably want nvidia-experimental-310 if you are gaming | 00:09 |
| ali1234 | it gives a performance boost over the nvidia-current | 00:09 |
| ali1234 | but before you do anything you need to know how to recover from display failure | 00:09 |
| mrgt | ali1234, okay | 00:11 |
| ali1234 | well, i don't know how to do it on 12.10 because once again everything has been changed :( | 00:12 |
| ali1234 | oh also you might need to install linux-headers-generic before installing the nvidia driver if that bug hasn't been fixed | 00:13 |
| mrgt | ali1234, I hate Linux sometimes | 00:16 |
| mrgt | ali1234, i think i'll leave it for tonight. thanks for the help | 00:18 |
| ali1234 | does anyone have super brothers: sword & sworcery flac sound track? eg if you got it on humble bundle, you can download the sound track | 00:22 |

| shingdayho | hey | 05:25 |
| daftykins | that's a novel nick | 05:26 |
| daftykins | also hi | 05:26 |
| daftykins | was it something i said :( | 05:35 |
| directhex | you're clearly very offensive, daftykins | 06:30 |
| daftykins | guess so :( | 06:30 |
| directhex | mornin'! you're up early | 06:30 |
| daftykins | morn :) yeah couldn't sleep | 06:30 |
| daftykins | gotta look at that RAID with 4 of 8 disks gone funny today :) | 06:31 |
| daftykins | good lord Windows graphics drivers are insane these days | 06:31 |
| daftykins | 170MB+ intel, 200MB+ nvidia | 06:31 |
| daftykins | (for an optimus laptop) | 06:31 |
| directhex | yep | 06:32 |
| directhex | wonder how much of that is bundled deps | 06:32 |
| directhex | and how much is docs | 06:32 |
| daftykins | heh | 06:32 |
| daftykins | too true | 06:32 |
| daftykins | i'm mostly updating 'cause i don't like seeing Windows Update offer them... | 06:32 |
| directhex | i mind windows update offering drivers, i don't mind steam offering them | 06:33 |
| daftykins | haha | 06:33 |
| daftykins | Steam was a bit in-your-face about them last time i saw prompts | 06:33 |
| directhex | maybe because i know the steam updates are legit upstream, and windows update drivers traditionally were "oops, did we forget opengl support? oops!" | 06:33 |
| directhex | "have some extra direct3d, it's much more tasty" | 06:34 |
| daftykins | that's my feeling, though it seems they're being good nowadays (possibly, i base this on nothing) | 06:34 |
| directhex | i think windows update is capable of just using upstream .exe installers - it does for MS keyboards/mice | 06:35 |
| directhex | but i have distrust now | 06:35 |
| directhex | whose fault is that distrust? MS! | 06:35 |
| daftykins | that must be why so much junk appears if you allow its' Logitech entry :D | 06:35 |
| directhex | i need a new kb&m | 06:35 |
| daftykins | directhex: back to the grind today? | 06:35 |
| directhex | back on the 2nd | 06:36 |
| daftykins | ah-har | 06:37 |
| directhex | feeling full of thai food, wondered if doing some exercise would help | 06:39 |
| directhex | then got distracted by shiny computertron filled with fun things like orgies. | 06:40 |
| daftykins | XD | 06:41 |
| daftykins | late night? | 06:41 |
| directhex | the opposite! went to bed at about half nine, slept solid until the baby woke for a feed at half five | 06:41 |
| daftykins | cor | 06:42 |
| directhex | argh pins & needles argh | 06:50 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 06:50 |
| daftykins | hrmm i sense now is a good time to hunt down more Christmas supplies | 06:50 |
| Azelphur | hehe, I've been up all night playing detective :P | 06:52 |
| Azelphur | hunting down a scammer, which I have reason to believe lives within walking distance of me | 06:53 |
| daftykins | :O | 06:54 |
| daftykins | what kind Azelphur? | 06:54 |
| Azelphur | the bitcoin kind :p | 06:54 |
| Azelphur | he's been being naughty on the forums, and today on IRC he created an account with an extremely similar name to me, with what I can only assume is a goal of scamming people :p | 06:55 |
| daftykins | wellity wellity | 06:56 |
| daftykins | always someone out there trying to ruin someone elses day | 06:56 |
| Azelphur | indeed | 06:56 |
| Azelphur | they say he's stolen upwards of £700 and legged it off the forums, now it seems like he's trying to pull a similar stunt on IRC, so I'm hunting :p | 06:57 |
| daftykins | well, keep safe | 06:57 |
| daftykins | could be an absolute nutcase! | 06:58 |
| Azelphur | indeed | 06:58 |
| Azelphur | I'm just interested in passing the info on to the victims so they can set the police on him, that's good enough for me | 06:58 |
| daftykins | always seems to happen when you're without tubes, eh? | 06:58 |
| daftykins | (drama) | 06:58 |
| Azelphur | indeed :P | 06:58 |
| daftykins | beer and sleep vs. stay up, hrmm | 06:59 |
| daftykins | that old chestnut. | 06:59 |
| shingdayho | any of you used Arch linux before | 07:39 |
| daftykins | ah you return | 07:39 |
| daftykins | not me personally | 07:39 |
| shingdayho | fair enough | 07:39 |
| shingdayho | you okay dude | 07:39 |
| daftykins | yeah not bad thanks, yourself? | 07:40 |
| shingdayho | yeah not too bad dude, you doing an all nighter haha? | 07:40 |
| daftykins | tried to sleep, failed :) | 07:40 |
| shingdayho | haha, i just didnt bother xD | 07:41 |
| daftykins | ^_^ i used to do that, i get too weird the day after :> | 07:41 |
| daftykins | plus i love sleep | 07:41 |
| popey | i tried arch once | 07:46 |
| popey | the installer was made from ground up crack, so I gave up | 07:47 |
| shingdayho | yeah same, its very hard haha | 07:47 |
| shingdayho | ive tried like twice now, if one thing goes wrong you have to start over, its very difficult haha | 07:48 |
| shingdayho | and meh be right, and me same, yesterday i slept for like 14 hours :| | 07:48 |
| daftykins | what things are wrong do you think? | 07:51 |
| shingdayho | well I follow the instructions, but its always when setting up the hard drive I always mess it up haha | 07:55 |
| shingdayho | first time I got an error installing the GRUB BIOS | 07:55 |
| shingdayho | second I got an error when making a change to some file ( I cant remember what) and i got a super block error | 07:56 |
| shingdayho | might give it a few hours and try again then and see how I get on! | 07:56 |
| daftykins | ah, sounds like partitioning woes | 07:57 |
| shingdayho | as you need to build from the ground up you have to set keyboard, partition then create a Logocal volume management, resize and then shrink, then you need to link it to a volume group then make a change to a file, again I cant remember what exactly but then it fails | 07:59 |
| daftykins | assuming you want LVM? :) | 07:59 |
| shingdayho | well im pretty new to Arch so I was just following the instructions, didnt want to mess around with stuff I was entirely sure how to set up haha! | 07:59 |
| daftykins | ah | 08:00 |
| shingdayho | you been upto much this evening .. or should I say morning lol | 08:01 |
| daftykins | SSD firmware update in my laptop, graphics driver update, just picked a pretty new wallpaper for my desktop XD | 08:01 |
| daftykins | so not particularly :> | 08:02 |
| daftykins | debating either trying to grab an hour or two more sleep, before heading to someones house for some work | 08:02 |
| shingdayho | nice, Ive just upgraded my PC with an SSD, there so fast, contemplating getting one for my laptop too ... and funny you should say that as I have too! and meh, if i sleep it has to be for atleast 7-8 hours if i have/try get 1-2 hours i always over sleep lol | 08:04 |
| daftykins | :) | 08:04 |
| daftykins | gotta keep those firmwares current! | 08:04 |
| daftykins | laptop had just exhibited the bug where the SSD isn't detected on the SATA port for a while | 08:05 |
| daftykins | crucial m4, with the 010G? firmware | 08:05 |
| daftykins | something like that version anywho | 08:05 |
| shingdayho | oh dear, well atleast its fixed! | 08:07 |
| shingdayho | you ever heard of TOR - hidden services? | 08:08 |
| daftykins | the onion router, yeah | 08:08 |
| shingdayho | you ever used it? | 08:09 |
| shingdayho | my friend was telling me about it | 08:09 |
| daftykins | i did once to allow Pandora to work, since it is/was locked down to US only | 08:09 |
| shingdayho | pandora? | 08:09 |
| daftykins | mmm depends what you want to use it for | 08:09 |
| daftykins | it's not perfect, anyone can setup an 'endpoint' and start sniffing your traffic at the egress point | 08:10 |
| daftykins | Pandora was a music streaming + recommendation service | 08:10 |
| shingdayho | oh right fair enough, yeah I suppose, my friend was telling me how hackers use it and post their unblock codes for viruses they write n stuff like that, but its hugely illegal becuase the data is anonymous | 08:11 |
| daftykins | i'd imagine a lot of bad stuff could use it ja! | 08:12 |
| shingdayho | yeah ... ive also heard lots about that ... | 08:12 |
| shingdayho | not stuff you want to or should dable with | 08:13 |
| daftykins | i suspect you have to be a certain kind of person to enjoy wrecking someones day | 08:15 |
| shingdayho | yeah lol | 08:15 |
| shingdayho | where abouts you from anyway bud? | 08:16 |
| daftykins | Guernsey :) | 08:17 |
| daftykins | and you? | 08:17 |
| shingdayho | Sheffield | 08:18 |
| daftykins | ah-har | 08:18 |
| daftykins | my parents rave about that place | 08:19 |
| shingdayho | really haha? | 08:19 |
| daftykins | i figure it's just grew-up-and-raised-kids-trapped-on-an-island-for-years syndrome | 08:19 |
| daftykins | :> | 08:19 |
| shingdayho | yeah, just looked its near jersey, ive got some friends there, must have a small population there xD | 08:20 |
| daftykins | 65-70,000 :) | 08:20 |
| shingdayho | thats a lot more than I thought | 08:22 |
| daftykins | it's pretty built-up as islands go | 08:22 |
| shingdayho | jersey doesnt have that much, I dont think ^o) | 08:22 |
| daftykins | it's bigger, so a bit more :) that rock is like little-England | 08:23 |
| daftykins | mine's like - the traditional experience (i.e. only thing to do is sea related or go to pubs :) ) | 08:23 |
| shingdayho | I would have thought like 10,000 max for an island that small and well that sounds like a win win situation :P | 08:23 |
| daftykins | :D | 08:24 |
| daftykins | if the femmes weren't all seemingly nuts i'd agree :D | 08:24 |
| shingdayho | sorry about that I closed lid and it turned off xD | 08:40 |
| daftykins | whoops :D | 08:40 |
| daftykins | default power management options for the lose | 08:40 |
| shingdayho | yeah haha | 08:43 |
| daftykins | still makes me giggle that you have to install third party software or 'hack' to stop Macs from sleeping when you close the lid | 08:45 |
| daftykins | i can think of few more irritating actions laptops can make on their own | 08:45 |
| shingdayho | lol really?? | 08:46 |
| shingdayho | macs are crap, ive never liked them | 08:46 |
| daftykins | yep :) not in their settings at all | 08:46 |
| daftykins | well, tbf there have been two OS releases since i last checked | 08:47 |
| shingdayho | lmao | 08:47 |
| daftykins | gotta do an SSD upgrade on a friend of a friends macbook pro soon :> | 08:47 |
| daftykins | http://vimeo.com/54890788 | 08:48 |
| popey | i switched my mbp to ssd | 08:48 |
| popey | the inside of a mbp is a beautiful thing | 08:49 |
| daftykins | :) | 08:49 |
| daftykins | just need to look for my T6 | 08:49 |
| daftykins | popey: do you keep OS X on? | 08:49 |
| daftykins | well, i'm assuming you put Ubuntu on | 08:49 |
| shingdayho | mbp?? | 08:49 |
| popey | yes | 08:49 |
| daftykins | macbook pro | 08:50 |
| shingdayho | ohh | 08:50 |
| popey | it used to be mine, but I switched to a thinkpad | 08:50 |
| popey | gave the mbp to wifey, and put osx back on it | 08:50 |
| popey | it basically only gets used for facebook and surfing | 08:50 |
| shingdayho | thats what generally every normal person does "social networking" lol | 08:50 |
| daftykins | popey: aww | 08:51 |
| daftykins | shingdayho: ugh don't remind me ;) | 08:51 |
| shingdayho | i wont :P | 08:57 |
| daftykins | hrmm might be time to consider it a day after all | 09:07 |
| daftykins | ugh don't appear to own a T6 driver | 10:00 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone, | 10:07 |

| shingdayho | thats out of my depth of understanding as im fairly new to linux haha | 22:17 |
| shingdayho | guys | 22:26 |
| shingdayho | do any of you know the default process which handles the mouse | 22:26 |
| shingdayho | specifically a laptop mouse? | 22:27 |
| AlanBell | a touchpad you mean? | 22:27 |
| AlanBell | specifically which laptop? | 22:27 |
| shingdayho | Advent Monza N3 | 22:27 |
| shingdayho | and yes touchpad sorry | 22:27 |
| AlanBell | not seeing anything specific for that one | 22:33 |
| AlanBell | shingdayho: have a read of this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5290024&postcount=1 | 22:35 |
| shingdayho | ill have a look now :) | 22:35 |
| shingdayho | very interesting, as im new to linux do you have any hints or tips or good websites to learn about linux and its capabilities etc | 22:36 |
| AlanBell | and maybe try adding i8042.noloop=1 to your boot parameters, you can do that by holding shift as you boot to get to the grub screen then I think e to edit the command line, then type i8042.noloop=1 then enter a few times to boot with that once | 22:37 |

| KrimZon | does anyone here use a midi editor in ubuntu 12.04? | 22:49 |
| shingdayho | cant say i do :/ | 22:52 |
| KrimZon | I can't seem to find one that will play sound | 22:52 |
| KrimZon | well... import a .mid, let me edit it and then play it | 22:53 |
| KrimZon | dino and ardour fail at loading, rosegarden won't make any sound no matter how hard I hook it up to timidity | 22:54 |
| KrimZon | rosegarden also goes mental in unity trying to do stupid stuff with the window | 22:55 |
| KrimZon | aha, Muse behaves - and it can play midi without requiring Jack | 23:02 |
| celesteh | hello, i just put 12.0.4 on my lenovo touch pad and was having major issues with ghost touches making the computer nearly unusable. I found a web page that claims to have the solution to the problem. it calls for fetching a tool via bzr, but bzr says it's an invalid url: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/Calibration/Ntrig | 23:09 |
| Azelphur | anyone know a good mass renaming tool? | 23:21 |
| AlanBell | celesteh: https://code.launchpad.net/~oif-team/oif/ntrig-calibrator | 23:34 |
| AlanBell | try bzr branch lp:~oif-team/oif/ntrig-calibrator | 23:34 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: What do you want to rename to what? | 23:36 |
| AlanBell | utouch got renamed everywhere a while back | 23:37 |
| celesteh | ta, alanbell | 23:37 |
| Azelphur | video filenames in format Blah 1x2 to Blah S01E02 | 23:37 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: So there all named blah.1x2 ? | 23:38 |
| Azelphur | yep | 23:38 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: Oh that's EASY | 23:38 |
| Azelphur | I've been using pyrenamer up until now but it's not capable of recognising numbers | 23:38 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: for NAME in *.1x2; do BASE=`basename $NAME`; mv $NAME $BASE.S01E02; done | 23:38 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: ;'s might be in the wrong place | 23:38 |
| penguin42 | oops | 23:38 |
| Azelphur | lol, uhh | 23:39 |
| penguin42 | not quite | 23:39 |
| Azelphur | yea, I didn't think that was right | 23:39 |
| penguin42 | BASE=`basename .1x2` | 23:39 |
| penguin42 | no let me rewrite that line | 23:39 |
| Azelphur | your hardcoding the season and episode numbers, that makes no sense | 23:39 |
| penguin42 | for NAME in *.1x2; do BASE=`basename $NAME .1x2`; mv $NAME $BASE.S01E02; done | 23:39 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: Oh, you mean they aren't all .1x2 ? | 23:39 |
| Azelphur | indeed, that was an example | 23:40 |
| penguin42 | ok, try again - give me an example and state the *actual* format | 23:40 |
| Azelphur | penguin42: I did, that's the format, if you go and read up on metadata, that's the examples they give you xD | 23:40 |
| penguin42 | right, so it could be foo.3x6 that should become foo.S03E06 ? | 23:41 |
| Azelphur | yep | 23:41 |
| Azelphur | but,I don't want a one off script | 23:41 |
| Azelphur | I do a lot of renaming, I want a tool to make life easier | 23:41 |
| penguin42 | hohum, I'd call the tool the previous script that you only have to make a tiny tweek to | 23:41 |
| Azelphur | :P | 23:42 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: It should be doable with a shell script that can take a pair of regexp's | 23:52 |
| Azelphur | krename does all the things :) | 23:52 |
