| daftykins | well, more | 12:57 |
| Azelphur | daftykins: fixing, turns out it was a busted cable | 12:57 |
| Azelphur | :D | 12:57 |
| daftykins | ah neat-o | 12:57 |
| daftykins | what's worse is when you know a drive is funky, but you can't get the manufacturer diagnostics tools to admit it | 12:58 |
| Azelphur | hehe | 12:59 |
| daftykins | i've got an OSX mountain lion VM now :O | 13:00 |
| brobostigon | whats the freenode ban command ? | 13:06 |

| dwatkins | in the description it says 'pick up only' | 13:47 |
| dwatkins | "only two corners thst make up the first picture are remaining" | 13:48 |
| bootkigftrgds | dwatkins: That is a dirisory comment, by you dwatkins :: Anyone can 'pick up' a Sofa .. It's who pays for the collectin .. And this is 50% of the battle as Ebay would infer it would be at the cost of the ebay Marketeer .. | 13:49 |
| dwatkins | maybe | 13:49 |
| bootkigftrgds | It's legit, I sear.. | 13:50 |
| dwatkins | you'd need to arrange a courier | 13:50 |
| bootkigftrgds | Done ! | 13:50 |
| dwatkins | the description does say it quite clearly, but I see your point, it'll be interesting to see what happens | 13:50 |

| brobostigon | it is preferable isnt it, to setup your wifi channel, to one, that is as far away as possible, from any around it? yes. | 15:55 |
| shauno | brobostigon: big time, yeah. wifi channels overlap a lot, so you don't just want to be on a different channel, but preferable 4-5 channels away from your closest neighbours | 16:51 |
| ali1234 | and it's better to be on the same channel than off by one | 16:51 |
| brobostigon | shauno: everything is used, except for some space between channel 8 and 9 and 3 and 4. | 16:52 |
| shauno | that's pretty normal. the trick is to figure out who's using them. I Worry more about coliding with my neighbour upstairs, than the offices across the road. I can drown out weak neighbours | 16:54 |
| brobostigon | ours is set to channel 6 and is atleast between 2 to three time as powerful as anything around here. | 16:55 |
| brobostigon | times* | 16:56 |
| shauno | the other fun one is to make sure your wifi is set to UK, because a lot are set to US out of the box, so won't have channels 12 & 13 | 16:56 |
| brobostigon | it has 12 and 13. | 16:56 |
| ali1234 | a lot of hardware won't allow you to use 12 and 13 under linux | 17:04 |
| shauno | didn't know that. but then I don't use linux on mobile devices | 17:06 |
| ali1234 | not mobile devices. | 17:07 |
| ali1234 | laptops | 17:07 |
| brobostigon | interesting, | 17:07 |
| ali1234 | it can also be caused by the AP | 17:07 |
| ali1234 | because CRDA will only allow the set of channels allowed by every device involved | 17:08 |
| ali1234 | the AP broadcasts it's idea of what country it is in in the beacons | 17:08 |
| ali1234 | if it broadcasts "hello i'm in china" on channel 13, linux will attempt to connect and then fail over and over | 17:08 |
| ali1234 | and it won't give an error message | 17:09 |
| ali1234 | it will put some message on dmesg like "disconnecting by choice" | 17:09 |
| brobostigon | so as shauno said, inportent to set the country properly.? | 17:09 |
| ali1234 | setting the country doesn't make any different | 17:09 |
| brobostigon | interesting, hmmm, | 17:10 |
| ali1234 | you can't et the country in your wifi card firmware without special software | 17:10 |
| ali1234 | and you can't set the country code at all on a lot of routers | 17:10 |
| ali1234 | you can, but it doesn't actually affect what the beacon says due to badly designed firmwares | 17:10 |
| brobostigon | ah. | 17:10 |
| ali1234 | so the router will hapily use channel 13, but your linux machine will refuse to connect to it | 17:11 |
| ali1234 | windows doesn't do nearly as much checks so they work fine | 17:11 |
| brobostigon | hmmm, | 17:11 |
| ali1234 | basically attempting to use 12 or 13 is a waste of time because it wont work properly on too many devices | 17:12 |
| ali1234 | unless you are lucky and didn't buy any broken hardware | 17:12 |
| SuperMatt | nice to see the new ubuntu icon has dropped into raring | 17:27 |
| SuperMatt | anyone else noticed that the raring has been more stable during development than any other of previous releases? | 17:43 |
| penguin42 | SuperMatt: It's been pretty good for me - I know a few people who are having problems getting it to boot | 17:44 |
| SuperMatt | really? Good job I haven't considered upgrading my work pc | 17:45 |
| kvarley | Any plans yet to integrate Nautilus with Mega? | 18:30 |
| penguin42 | SuperMatt: I think it's specific hardware, but I know 2 people with very different hardware | 18:32 |
| andrews | Hey all - does anyone else have problems using Ubuntu and Channel 4's On Demand service? | 19:17 |
| Darael | andrews: freezing after the last of the ads? | 19:24 |
| Darael | I was just getting ready to report that it seemed to be working fine from here, too. | 19:24 |
| bootkigftrgds | dwatkins: Thanks- heaben's Sheffield got it right ... http://goo.gl/JZYPo aall for today, beddie-byes All | 19:25 |
| andrews | Darael - yes. Thats indeed the problem! | 19:27 |
| andrews | Only certain shows though | 19:28 |
| andrews | Some work, some just go black screen and freeze after the adverts | 19:29 |
| Darael | Well, no idea what's causing it, but at least it's definitely not just thee. | 19:29 |
| andrews | Was trying to watch that World Without End and it just freezes after the nokia ads. Is it some DRM lockout? | 19:30 |
| popey | Evening! | 20:05 |
| bootkigftrgds | popey, Aloha [!!] | 20:10 |
| === bootkigftrgds is now known as solarcloud_3scrn | ||
| penguin42 | popey: Couldn't you bring some warm weather back with you? | 20:18 |
| ali1234 | hmm... maplin sells on amazon... | 20:22 |
| ali1234 | http://www.amazon.co.uk/V80H-70MAH-MOUNTED-BATTERY-RECHARGEABLE/dp/B005ZS3XAQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1358626896&sr=1-3 | 20:22 |
| ali1234 | prices are identical, including delivery... so they are making a loss on that over the website | 20:25 |
| ali1234 | but presumably they get enough extra business to make up for that | 20:25 |
| Azelphur | popey: broke ubuntu.com, https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/session-fingerprint.html | 21:44 |

| Azelphur | Trying to get Steam running on Ubuntu 12.10, problem is when I install fglrx-updates, or install the latest version of fglrx from the website, Unity doesn't start at all (above bug), any ideas? :( | 22:57 |
| dwatkins | sadly my ATI/AMD card just died | 23:03 |
| Azelphur | indeed, this is very frustrating :( | 23:05 |
| Azelphur | tempting to downgrade to 12.04 to work around it | 23:06 |
| penguin42 | or upgrade to Raring | 23:22 |
| ali1234 | Azelphur: or remove unity | 23:26 |
