=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [10:28] good morning everyone, [10:50] http://pastebin.com/WYNd4JMn take it it's time for this hard drive to meet with the bin? === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [10:54] Azelphur: looks a lot like it === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [10:56] lol fairly conclusive, started up a live usb and it doesn't even show up in gparted [10:56] it broke. [11:24] what does ubuntu use for the boot splash animation now? [11:24] hey everyone === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [12:57] Azelphur: breaking hardware now D: [12:57] well, more [12:57] daftykins: fixing, turns out it was a busted cable [12:57] :D [12:57] ah neat-o [12:58] what's worse is when you know a drive is funky, but you can't get the manufacturer diagnostics tools to admit it [12:59] hehe [13:00] i've got an OSX mountain lion VM now :O [13:06] whats the freenode ban command ? [13:06] /q ? [13:06] oh no that's mode [13:06] never done any admin'ing on freenode ;x [13:07] ok. [13:08] i did as it suggested on http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml i e, set +b mode, and it didnt work. [13:08] are you opered up? [13:09] yes. [13:11] hrmm unless the ban mask isn't applying [13:11] if it isn't just a nick [13:41] Heads up .. this is one for @czajkowski [ http://goo.gl/k8Zlm ] .. ends in 40 minutes ::: LAAANDON [Free Postage - the fools !!] ::: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300845859363?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1431.l2649&autorefresh=true [13:47] in the description it says 'pick up only' [13:48] "only two corners thst make up the first picture are remaining" [13:49] 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] maybe [13:50] It's legit, I sear.. [13:50] you'd need to arrange a courier [13:50] Done ! [13:50] the description does say it quite clearly, but I see your point, it'll be interesting to see what happens [13:51] El bill i being printed by www.NORspeed.com as we speak .. [13:51] **....is being... [13:52] Also on ebay.eu ... http://goo.gl/0MfL4 [13:54] Anyay, I'll back off this channel for a couple of hours .. as aspie does take over with moore planning... [13:54] **Anyway.. [13:55] #join wrongplanet [14:00] brobostigon: Are you ok for a pm? [14:00] DJones: yes, [14:00] ok === daftykins is now known as rudykins === rudykins is now known as daftykins [15:31] meow [15:55] it is preferable isnt it, to setup your wifi channel, to one, that is as far away as possible, from any around it? yes. [16:51] 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] and it's better to be on the same channel than off by one [16:52] shauno: everything is used, except for some space between channel 8 and 9 and 3 and 4. [16:54] 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 [16:55] ours is set to channel 6 and is atleast between 2 to three time as powerful as anything around here. [16:56] times* [16:56] 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] it has 12 and 13. [17:04] a lot of hardware won't allow you to use 12 and 13 under linux [17:06] didn't know that. but then I don't use linux on mobile devices [17:07] not mobile devices. [17:07] laptops [17:07] interesting, [17:07] it can also be caused by the AP [17:08] because CRDA will only allow the set of channels allowed by every device involved [17:08] the AP broadcasts it's idea of what country it is in in the beacons [17:08] if it broadcasts "hello i'm in china" on channel 13, linux will attempt to connect and then fail over and over [17:09] and it won't give an error message [17:09] it will put some message on dmesg like "disconnecting by choice" [17:09] so as shauno said, inportent to set the country properly.? [17:09] setting the country doesn't make any different [17:10] interesting, hmmm, [17:10] you can't et the country in your wifi card firmware without special software [17:10] and you can't set the country code at all on a lot of routers [17:10] you can, but it doesn't actually affect what the beacon says due to badly designed firmwares [17:10] ah. [17:11] so the router will hapily use channel 13, but your linux machine will refuse to connect to it [17:11] windows doesn't do nearly as much checks so they work fine [17:11] hmmm, [17:12] basically attempting to use 12 or 13 is a waste of time because it wont work properly on too many devices [17:12] unless you are lucky and didn't buy any broken hardware [17:27] nice to see the new ubuntu icon has dropped into raring [17:43] anyone else noticed that the raring has been more stable during development than any other of previous releases? [17:44] SuperMatt: It's been pretty good for me - I know a few people who are having problems getting it to boot [17:45] really? Good job I haven't considered upgrading my work pc [18:30] Any plans yet to integrate Nautilus with Mega? [18:32] SuperMatt: I think it's specific hardware, but I know 2 people with very different hardware [19:17] Hey all - does anyone else have problems using Ubuntu and Channel 4's On Demand service? [19:24] andrews: freezing after the last of the ads? [19:24] I was just getting ready to report that it seemed to be working fine from here, too. [19:25] dwatkins: Thanks- heaben's Sheffield got it right ... http://goo.gl/JZYPo aall for today, beddie-byes All [19:27] Darael - yes. Thats indeed the problem! [19:28] Only certain shows though [19:29] Some work, some just go black screen and freeze after the adverts [19:29] Well, no idea what's causing it, but at least it's definitely not just thee. [19:30] Was trying to watch that World Without End and it just freezes after the nokia ads. Is it some DRM lockout? [20:05] Evening! [20:10] popey, Aloha [!!] === bootkigftrgds is now known as solarcloud_3scrn [20:18] popey: Couldn't you bring some warm weather back with you? [20:22] hmm... maplin sells on amazon...
