| mungbean | hi guys, does anyone know of a good solution for easily scanning around 1000 photos? i have a scanner but scanning whole A4 page and cropping is tedious | 10:15 |
| popey | get someone else to do it? | 10:16 |
| popey | ~13p each | 10:16 |
| mungbean | i notice there's a agfa photo scanner ~33 | 10:17 |
| mungbean | popey, where for 13p? i';m seeing £75 for 1000 photos | 10:18 |
| popey | http://www.iphotoscanning.co.uk/photo-scanning-service-1/scan-my-photographs/high-quality-photo-scanning.html | 10:18 |
| popey | first hit from google, I'm sure shopping around yeilds better results | 10:18 |
| mungbean | argh, maths fail 13p is more than 7.5p | 10:19 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone. | 10:20 |
| solarcloud_3srcn | morning.. one cheese and bacon toastie later on ... | 10:23 |
| brobostigon | yummy, | 10:23 |
| solarcloud_3srcn | mayo too ! | 10:24 |
| solarcloud_3srcn | brobostigon: Morning.. | 10:24 |
| brobostigon | morning | 10:24 |
| solarcloud_3srcn | The weather is set to get alot worse BTW... | 10:24 |
| brobostigon | solarcloud_3srcn: the weather looks like it will be fine here, except for some patches of rain. | 10:29 |
| diplo | I found funny this morning, set for rain and wind today and temp around 5-10 degrees but on the way to work there were gritters on the roads?!?!? | 10:32 |
| mungbean | what does everyone else do for scanning 100s of family photosthen? | 10:33 |
| diplo | Scan them and crop them, I just do it when I have some time | 10:33 |
| diplo | Over a few weeks/months | 10:33 |
| solarcloud_3srcn | I put them on multiple cd's/ dvd's. | 10:34 |
| bubu | morn guys | 10:34 |
| solarcloud_3srcn | hi there. | 10:34 |
| bubu | having a cron issue; 30 10 * * * . cd /opt/systems/chefbackup && knife exec chef_server_backup.rb results in cron failure: /bin/sh 1: .: cd: not found | 10:35 |
| mgdm | what's the . for? | 10:36 |
| mgdm | you can't 'source' cd, it's a shell built-in command | 10:36 |
| bubu | i just want it to run ' knife exec chef_server_backup ' from the /opt/systems/chefbackup folder | 10:36 |
| mgdm | remove the . | 10:36 |
| bubu | kk | 10:37 |
| bubu | balls, now getting ERROR: ArgumentError: cannot sign the request without a client name | 10:37 |
| bubu | so the script fails | 10:37 |
| bubu | i need to load an environment I guess | 10:38 |
| bubu | when I run the command manually it runs ok... | 10:38 |
| mgdm | when things run from cron they generally have next to no environment variables set | 10:39 |
| mgdm | etc | 10:39 |
| bubu | ok - so how would you set the needed variables? | 10:40 |
| mgdm | I would put the whole command into a shell script and call that from cron | 10:41 |
| mgdm | then you can set what you like inside the script | 10:41 |
| mungbean | +1 | 10:42 |
| bubu | hmm | 10:42 |
| bubu | i just need cron to load root's bash_profile env | 10:42 |
| bubu | i just need cron to load root's bash_profile env | 10:44 |
| bubu | oops apologies | 10:44 |
| bubu | would * 10 * * * . /root/.bash_profile && cd /opt/systems/chefbackup && knife exec chef_server_backup.rb | 10:47 |
| brobostigon | wow, just running apt-get update and it hit a load figure of 42 on my eeepc, | 10:48 |
| bubu | load my env from roots bash_profile? | 10:48 |
| bubu | lol brobostigon | 10:48 |
| brobostigon | bubu: it isnt funny, i am not lieing. | 10:48 |
| SuperMatt | bubu: get replace that first * with a minute! | 10:49 |
| SuperMatt | otherwise it runs every minute between 10 and 11 | 10:49 |
| bubu | ja the time was just an example | 10:49 |
| mgdm | bubu: I'd move the bits you need into /root/.profile instead | 10:49 |
| mgdm | I think that should work, at least... | 10:50 |
| bubu | mgdm why .profile out of interest? | 10:51 |
| bubu | bash_profile seems to have worked ok | 10:56 |
| mgdm | there's .profile, .bash_profile and .bashrc which all run at different times | 10:56 |
| mgdm | I forget which, though | 10:56 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 11:04 |
| davmor2 | czajkowski: prod, morning you scary cow'd backdrop feeling person you ;) | 11:26 |
| czajkowski | ello | 11:27 |
| davmor2 | czajkowski: it took me ages to figure out that it was hippos teeth in a cows mouth :D tis a funny backdrop though | 11:29 |
| czajkowski | :) | 11:29 |
| bigcalm | Ello peeps :) | 11:42 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: How do | 11:43 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: 2h 43m into holiday and I'm bored | 11:44 |
| bigcalm | Might play some HL in a bit | 11:44 |
| popey | holiday! | 11:44 |
| bigcalm | Forgot that I had booked a week off to mirror Hayley's week off | 11:44 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: Muhahahahaha that'll teach you! | 11:45 |
| * bigcalm looks at new SSD for his new machine | 11:46 | |
| dwatkins | I was considering that yesterday, I wonder what the sweet-spot is for price vs capacity right now | 11:47 |
| bigcalm | Do I take Corey Goldberg's word that I'd have to do a fresh install rather than being able to move my current SSD over? | 11:48 |
| popey | who? | 11:48 |
| bigcalm | popey: yeah, that's what I thought | 11:48 |
| dwatkins | I would probably just use clonezilla. | 11:49 |
| bigcalm | https://plus.google.com/u/1/113834766641843352499/posts/cRKKn5PhDsR | 11:49 |
| mgdm | I used dd last time I moved HDs, but if I do get an SSD I'm just doing a clean install | 11:49 |
| davmor2 | popey: works for canonical in QA for U1 | 11:54 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: drop the ssd in see what happen | 11:54 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: that's what I was thinking. But I'd like to have things ready to a degree | 12:08 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: it shouldn't have an issue with new hardware the only thing a fresh install will really do is ensure nothing dies a death and if binary drivers have been previously installed that are different ie old box is Ati new box is nvidia etc | 12:10 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: thankfully it's nVidia in old and new. But I understand the point | 12:11 |
| bigcalm | I might leave this ssd in this machine as a backup | 12:11 |
| * popey hugs SSD | 12:11 | |
| bigcalm | The new machine comes with a 1TB HDD. Shame it won't be used | 12:13 |
| popey | desktop? | 12:15 |
| bigcalm | http://www.dell.com/uk/p/alienware-x51/pd?oc=d00and49&model_id=alienware-x51 | 12:16 |
| popey | gosh | 12:16 |
| popey | why is the 1TB not used? | 12:16 |
| popey | stick it in a USB3 caddy? | 12:17 |
| popey | use it for backups etc | 12:17 |
| bigcalm | That is a sensible idea | 12:18 |
| dwatkins | I have several spare drives, I seem to buy a new external caddy every couple months for various reasons | 13:25 |
| dwatkins | I made a point of getting one that supports eSATA this time, so accessing it should be nice and quick. | 13:26 |
| === GentileBen is now known as SirCrispinTheJew | ||
| awilkins | dwatkins, I had real issues with external caddies for a while | 14:13 |
| awilkins | dwatkins, I think the power electronics on a lot of them are cheap and they fail | 14:13 |
| awilkins | dwatkins, Also had drives fail due to physical shock ; since I went SSD both these problems have ended because they're shockproof and low-power | 14:14 |
| dwatkins | ah yes | 14:15 |
| awilkins | I'm really liking my current caddy which has a 2.5" docking bay but also works externally | 14:16 |
| awilkins | eSATA or USB | 14:18 |
| awilkins | This one isn't as nice http://www.scan.co.uk/products/icybox-ib-266stusd-b-black-hdd-case-usb2-esata-for-25-sata-hard-drive-inc-35-docking-station | 14:19 |
| Azelphur | O.o my electric oven just went nuts and started spewing out smoke at about the same rate as a typical fog machine | 14:51 |
| dwatkins | which is the nice one, awilkins? | 14:55 |
| awilkins | Can't see it anymore, it's a Silverstone | 14:56 |
| dwatkins | ah yes, good stuff | 14:56 |
| dwatkins | I just bought their 5.25" slot loading aluminium bay cover | 14:56 |

| lubotu3 | Ubuntu bug 1107866 in unity (Ubuntu) "Show window list when right clicking an icon in launcher - enables quick window switching" [Wishlist,Triaged] | 16:27 |
| SuperMatt | is anyone getting 503 on sabdfl's blog? | 16:36 |
| ali1234 | popey: the reply to it sounds familiar too | 16:36 |
| ali1234 | how does one become a member of the design team? | 16:36 |
| ali1234 | maybe if we could get enough sensible people onto it, unity could be fixed? | 16:36 |
| aptanet | can anyone think of a reason why I can't switch monitors until I get below the 5th icon down on the dash? | 16:37 |
| aptanet | ooh, ooh, me, me I've just thought of why | 16:38 |
| aptanet | different screen sizes - doh! | 16:38 |
| aptanet | I'll go back to sleep now ;) | 16:38 |
| SuperMatt | popey: that patch is gonna be cool :) | 16:38 |
| popey | ali1234: ask jnick_tait ☺ | 16:40 |
| ali1234 | what does "ayatana design" team actually produce? | 16:41 |
| ali1234 | they have no blueprints and nothing in bzr | 16:41 |
| ali1234 | shouldn't there be a design document somewhere? | 16:41 |
| ali1234 | or is being an impenetrable roadblock to progress their only purpose? | 16:42 |
| popey | its a method to allow the design team to track stuff | 16:42 |
| popey | to work around the bug management in launchpad | 16:42 |
| popey | http://people.canonical.com/~platform/design/upstream.html | 16:43 |
| popey | powers that | 16:43 |
| ali1234 | so what does it mean when a bug is "fix commited" in ayatana design? | 16:44 |
| ali1234 | what is the fix commited to exactly? | 16:44 |
| arsen | presumably committed to the next release? :s | 16:45 |
| ali1234 | but ayatana design doesn't release anything | 16:46 |
| ali1234 | it is still marked as wishlist in unity | 16:46 |
| ali1234 | sorry, triaged | 16:46 |
| popey | it's for managing their workflow | 16:48 |
| popey | to indicate that design have signed off on bugs | 16:48 |
| SuperMatt | holy... I just noticed one of my bugs in on the design bugs for ubuntu page | 16:50 |
| ali1234 | that's because it is auto generated | 16:51 |
| SuperMatt | oh right | 16:51 |
| SuperMatt | nice to see my bug is high priority though | 16:51 |
| SuperMatt | it's the one where unity captures the superkey when you're using a vm or vnc | 16:51 |
| SuperMatt | which is terribly frustrating | 16:51 |
| ali1234 | just disable super and alt in unity config | 16:53 |
| ali1234 | in ccsm | 16:53 |
| ali1234 | it's not like they do anything useful | 16:53 |
| SuperMatt | ... | 16:53 |
| SuperMatt | except open the dash | 16:53 |
| SuperMatt | which I do all the time | 16:53 |
| SuperMatt | but I don't want to open the dash in a vm or vnc | 16:53 |
| ali1234 | who even opens the dash? | 16:54 |
| popey | i do, all the time | 16:54 |
| SuperMatt | me too | 16:54 |
| popey | well, when I open apps | 16:54 |
| ali1234 | there's no reason to do so | 16:54 |
| ali1234 | it's much more efficient to launch apps from a terminal window | 16:54 |
| SuperMatt | it's the quickets way to open apps | 16:54 |
| popey | nah | 16:54 |
| ali1234 | because terminal windows are open all the time | 16:54 |
| ali1234 | then you just pin them | 16:54 |
| SuperMatt | I don't want to have to open a terminal window for every app I want to run | 16:55 |
| popey | i find it faster to use dash | 16:55 |
| ali1234 | then you don't ever have to wait three seconds for the dash to open and then futz around in an annoying mess of amazon junk :) | 16:55 |
| popey | super, ge, enter, \o/ gedit | 16:55 |
| MartijnVdS | </queen_nl><king_nl> | 16:55 |
| SuperMatt | also: super -> text is less keystrokes than ctrl+alt+t -> text | 16:55 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: I use alt+f2 | 16:55 |
| popey | also end up with terminals kicking around | 16:55 |
| popey | that too | 16:55 |
| ali1234 | who doesn't have terminals open? | 16:56 |
| popey | i have one | 16:56 |
| popey | the one I am typing at you in | 16:56 |
| ali1234 | one is more than enough | 16:56 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: because I don't think "super" looks in original language (English) descriptions, only in localised ones | 16:56 |
| rowinggolfer | popey, I am surprised to see that www.ubuntu.com has no ipv6 support | 16:56 |

| popey | file a bug | 16:57 |
| rowinggolfer | popey :) | 16:57 |
| SuperMatt | ideally I think people would like to see ipv6 repos, and I'm certain I've been a bug about that | 16:57 |
| SuperMatt | but surely ipv6 can access the ipv4 address space? | 16:58 |
