[00:07] ali1234, done. The one selected is x.org [00:08] ok, that's the open source driver. it is often not very good :( [00:08] ali1234, ah.. okay [00:08] ali1234, so should I select the other one? [00:09] you probably want nvidia-experimental-310 if you are gaming [00:09] it gives a performance boost over the nvidia-current [00:09] but before you do anything you need to know how to recover from display failure [00:11] ali1234, okay [00:12] well, i don't know how to do it on 12.10 because once again everything has been changed :( [00:13] oh also you might need to install linux-headers-generic before installing the nvidia driver if that bug hasn't been fixed [00:16] ali1234, I hate Linux sometimes [00:18] ali1234, i think i'll leave it for tonight. thanks for the help [00:22] does anyone have super brothers: sword & sworcery flac sound track? eg if you got it on humble bundle, you can download the sound track [00:23] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/1094581 if you do [00:23] Ubuntu bug 1094581 in gstreamer0.10 (Ubuntu) "playback freezing with flac files" [Undecided,New] === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [00:45] hmm... scotch egg [00:50] two scotch eggs in fact === Hornet- is now known as Hornet [05:25] hey [05:26] that's a novel nick [05:26] also hi [05:35] was it something i said :( [06:30] you're clearly very offensive, daftykins [06:30] guess so :( [06:30] mornin'! you're up early [06:30] morn :) yeah couldn't sleep [06:31] gotta look at that RAID with 4 of 8 disks gone funny today :) [06:31] good lord Windows graphics drivers are insane these days [06:31] 170MB+ intel, 200MB+ nvidia [06:31] (for an optimus laptop) [06:32] yep [06:32] wonder how much of that is bundled deps [06:32] and how much is docs [06:32] heh [06:32] too true [06:32] i'm mostly updating 'cause i don't like seeing Windows Update offer them... [06:33] i mind windows update offering drivers, i don't mind steam offering them [06:33] haha [06:33] Steam was a bit in-your-face about them last time i saw prompts [06:33] maybe because i know the steam updates are legit upstream, and windows update drivers traditionally were "oops, did we forget opengl support? oops!" [06:34] "have some extra direct3d, it's much more tasty" [06:34] that's my feeling, though it seems they're being good nowadays (possibly, i base this on nothing) [06:35] i think windows update is capable of just using upstream .exe installers - it does for MS keyboards/mice [06:35] but i have distrust now [06:35] whose fault is that distrust? MS! [06:35] that must be why so much junk appears if you allow its' Logitech entry :D [06:35] i need a new kb&m [06:35] directhex: back to the grind today? [06:36] back on the 2nd [06:37] ah-har [06:39] feeling full of thai food, wondered if doing some exercise would help [06:40] then got distracted by shiny computertron filled with fun things like orgies. [06:41] XD [06:41] late night? [06:41] the opposite! went to bed at about half nine, slept solid until the baby woke for a feed at half five [06:42] cor [06:50] argh pins & needles argh [06:50] ^_^ [06:50] hrmm i sense now is a good time to hunt down more Christmas supplies [06:52] hehe, I've been up all night playing detective :P [06:53] hunting down a scammer, which I have reason to believe lives within walking distance of me [06:54] :O [06:54] what kind Azelphur? [06:54] the bitcoin kind :p [06:55] 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 [06:56] wellity wellity [06:56] always someone out there trying to ruin someone elses day [06:56] indeed [06:57] 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] well, keep safe [06:58] could be an absolute nutcase! [06:58] indeed [06:58] 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] always seems to happen when you're without tubes, eh? [06:58] (drama) [06:58] indeed :P [06:59] beer and sleep vs. stay up, hrmm [06:59] that old chestnut. [07:39] any of you used Arch linux before [07:39] ah you return [07:39] not me personally [07:39] fair enough [07:39] you okay dude [07:40] yeah not bad thanks, yourself? [07:40] yeah not too bad dude, you doing an all nighter haha? [07:40] tried to sleep, failed :) [07:41] haha, i just didnt bother xD [07:41] ^_^ i used to do that, i get too weird the day after :> [07:41] plus i love sleep [07:46] i tried arch once [07:47] the installer was made from ground up crack, so I gave up [07:47] yeah same, its very hard haha [07:48] ive tried like twice now, if one thing goes wrong you have to start over, its very difficult haha [07:48] and meh be right, and me same, yesterday i slept for like 14 hours :| [07:51] what things are wrong do you think? [07:55] well I follow the instructions, but its always when setting up the hard drive I always mess it up haha [07:55] first time I got an error installing the GRUB BIOS [07:56] 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] might give it a few hours and try again then and see how I get on! [07:57] ah, sounds like partitioning woes [07:59] 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] assuming you want LVM? :) [07:59] 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! [08:00] ah [08:01] you been upto much this evening .. or should I say morning lol [08:01] SSD firmware update in my laptop, graphics driver update, just picked a pretty new wallpaper for my desktop XD [08:02] so not particularly :> [08:02] debating either trying to grab an hour or two more sleep, before heading to someones house for some work [08:04] 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] :) [08:04] gotta keep those firmwares current! [08:05] laptop had just exhibited the bug where the SSD isn't detected on the SATA port for a while [08:05] crucial m4, with the 010G? firmware [08:05] something like that version anywho [08:07] oh dear, well atleast its fixed! [08:08] you ever heard of TOR - hidden services? [08:08] the onion router, yeah [08:09] you ever used it? [08:09] my friend was telling me about it [08:09] i did once to allow Pandora to work, since it is/was locked down to US only [08:09] pandora? [08:09] mmm depends what you want to use it for [08:10] it's not perfect, anyone can setup an 'endpoint' and start sniffing your traffic at the egress point [08:10] Pandora was a music streaming + recommendation service [08:11] 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 [08:12] i'd imagine a lot of bad stuff could use it ja! [08:12] yeah ... ive also heard lots about that ... [08:13] not stuff you want to or should dable with [08:15] i suspect you have to be a certain kind of person to enjoy wrecking someones day [08:15] yeah lol [08:16] where abouts you from anyway bud?

[08:46] macs are crap, ive never liked them [08:46] yep :) not in their settings at all [08:47] well, tbf there have been two OS releases since i last checked [08:47] lmao [08:47] gotta do an SSD upgrade on a friend of a friends macbook pro soon :> [08:48] http://vimeo.com/54890788 [08:48] i switched my mbp to ssd [08:49] the inside of a mbp is a beautiful thing [08:49] :) [08:49] just need to look for my T6 [08:49] popey: do you keep OS X on? [08:49] well, i'm assuming you put Ubuntu on [08:49] mbp?? [08:49] yes [08:50] macbook pro [08:50] ohh [08:50] it used to be mine, but I switched to a thinkpad [08:50] gave the mbp to wifey, and put osx back on it [08:50] it basically only gets used for facebook and surfing [08:50] thats what generally every normal person does "social networking" lol [08:51] popey: aww [08:51] shingdayho: ugh don't remind me ;) [08:57] i wont :P [09:07] hrmm might be time to consider it a day after all [10:00] ugh don't appear to own a T6 driver [10:07] good morning everyone, [10:07] \o [10:07] heya [10:07] o/ MartijnVdS [10:07] heya daftykins [10:10] gm indeed [10:32] back to gameos for directhex [10:35] moo [10:36] meep [10:45] anyone recommend a UK hosting provider? would be handy if they dealt with .gg domains [10:45] website only [11:00] gotta head off, i'll have an away log on highlight [11:12] daftykins: I can't vouch for their quality, but this company are pretty cheap: http://annualvps.com/ === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === Hornet- is now known as Hornet [13:57] Does anybody know of an open-source account management system? (Preferably PHP + MySQL) I'm looking to add incoming / outgoing payments and attach images to those transactions [15:24] I've come to the conclusion that I must be getting old. Christmas this year consisted of new slippers, gardening books and garden centre vouchers [15:31] daubers: dodged the socks then? [15:39] Does anyone know a workaround for laggy volume controls in ubuntu 12.04? When I press the multimedia keys on my eee pc to change volume there's a 5 second delay as though a small application is being loaded just to change volume.

[21:36] AlanBell: and on github [21:37] czajkowski: yeah, most of that stuff is on github I could have put it on Launchpad but github renders readme files [21:38] killer feature for me [21:41] woohoo, hacked Aq's svg/javascript thingy :) [21:41] His: http://kryogenix.org/days/2012/12/30/simple-svg-sparklines [21:41] Mine: http://wolk.vandestreek.net/~martijn/sparkline.html [21:43] in case you need sparklines :) [21:47] very nice [21:48] I have some ideas on how to use it at work :) [21:55] gord_: you alive! or have the cats eaten you and your crazy sweets [22:10] in case anyone else was wondering, you can change the colour of the GNU Screen hardstatus/caption information within a script, I just answered a question on here 3.5 years after it was posed... http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/16429/how-can-you-change-the-gnu-screen-status-line-based-on-hostname/59892#59892 [22:17] thats out of my depth of understanding as im fairly new to linux haha [22:26] guys [22:26] do any of you know the default process which handles the mouse [22:27] specifically a laptop mouse? [22:27] a touchpad you mean? [22:27] specifically which laptop? [22:27] Advent Monza N3 [22:27] and yes touchpad sorry [22:33] not seeing anything specific for that one [22:35] shingdayho: have a read of this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5290024&postcount=1 [22:35] ill have a look now :) [22:36] 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 [22:37] 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 === andrew is now known as Guest53561 [22:49] does anyone here use a midi editor in ubuntu 12.04? [22:52] cant say i do :/ [22:52] I can't seem to find one that will play sound [22:53] well... import a .mid, let me edit it and then play it [22:54] dino and ardour fail at loading, rosegarden won't make any sound no matter how hard I hook it up to timidity [22:55] rosegarden also goes mental in unity trying to do stupid stuff with the window [23:02] aha, Muse behaves - and it can play midi without requiring Jack [23:09] 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 [23:21] anyone know a good mass renaming tool? [23:34] celesteh: https://code.launchpad.net/~oif-team/oif/ntrig-calibrator [23:34] try bzr branch lp:~oif-team/oif/ntrig-calibrator [23:36] Azelphur: What do you want to rename to what? [23:37] utouch got renamed everywhere a while back [23:37] ta, alanbell [23:37] video filenames in format Blah 1x2 to Blah S01E02 [23:38] Azelphur: So there all named blah.1x2 ? [23:38] yep [23:38] Azelphur: Oh that's EASY [23:38] I've been using pyrenamer up until now but it's not capable of recognising numbers [23:38] Azelphur: for NAME in *.1x2; do BASE=`basename $NAME`; mv $NAME $BASE.S01E02; done [23:38] Azelphur: ;'s might be in the wrong place [23:38] oops [23:39] lol, uhh [23:39] not quite [23:39] yea, I didn't think that was right [23:39] BASE=`basename .1x2` [23:39] no let me rewrite that line [23:39] your hardcoding the season and episode numbers, that makes no sense [23:39] for NAME in *.1x2; do BASE=`basename $NAME .1x2`; mv $NAME $BASE.S01E02; done [23:39] Azelphur: Oh, you mean they aren't all .1x2 ? [23:40] indeed, that was an example [23:40] ok, try again - give me an example and state the *actual* format [23:40] penguin42: I did, that's the format, if you go and read up on metadata, that's the examples they give you xD [23:41] right, so it could be foo.3x6 that should become foo.S03E06 ? [23:41] yep [23:41] but,I don't want a one off script [23:41] I do a lot of renaming, I want a tool to make life easier [23:41] hohum, I'd call the tool the previous script that you only have to make a tiny tweek to [23:42] :P [23:52] Azelphur: It should be doable with a shell script that can take a pair of regexp's [23:52] krename does all the things :)
