| solarcloud | Looks like it's left up to us two to Rule the channel, again :D | 00:44 |
| solarcloud | ..I looked into getting a 17" laptop today.. | 00:44 |
| solarcloud | best price was about £100 for a Core 2 Duo.... | 00:45 |
| daftykins | :O | 00:45 |
| daftykins | not bad | 00:45 |
| penguin42 | solarcloud: That's one hell of a lap | 00:45 |
| solarcloud | Not really, you always have 50% chance of sending it back to the seller.. | 00:46 |
| solarcloud | I'm after this one now .. as the other one had key Prob.s :: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fujitsu-Siemens-Amilo-Li2727-Laptop-17-inch-screen-/170983377593?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D5314456501033362947%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D290851828349%26 | 00:47 |
| solarcloud | soz for the long address. | 00:47 |
| solarcloud | he says he'll accept a buy it now offer .. what do you reckon ? ... £75 quid ??? | 00:50 |
| penguin42 | http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/laptops/fujitsu-siemens-amilo-li-2727-review-49298555/specs/ | 00:51 |
| penguin42 | was 275 when new about 4.5 years ago | 00:51 |
| solarcloud | opening.. | 00:51 |
| daftykins | those are amazingly bad pics | 00:52 |
| penguin42 | solarcloud: Pretty poor spec | 00:53 |
| solarcloud | agreed.. I'll pass on this as I thought it was Core 2 Duo... thanx guys. | 00:54 |
| solarcloud | Hey guys .. So basically I've got 90 laptop to choose from (as long as they don't go above £120 end-bid, that is) from this lot :: http://goo.gl/R0g2P .. It's only for learning more python, so feel free to give it a scan to see if you see any beauties or not. thanx in advance :) | 01:01 |
| penguin42 | any reason you want a laptop, and what are your specs you want? | 01:09 |
| * penguin42 notices the Tesco Outlet; no horse burgers | 01:10 | |
| solarcloud | hi penguin42, the specs are : 17" screen or more , £120 or less, Core Duo or better, must have a clear return for full refund policy. that's basically it, but the £120 or less is the killer. | 01:14 |
| solarcloud | I hope to sell it on after I put Ubuntu 13.04 on there.. | 01:15 |
| solarcloud | but that's months away.. | 01:15 |
| penguin42 | ouch that's a pretty low limit | 01:15 |
| solarcloud | plenty available though.. | 01:15 |
| solarcloud | it is just for learning a bit more python.. :) | 01:16 |
| solarcloud | Did you click the link above ... | 01:16 |
| penguin42 | yeh but some of them are spares/repairs - i.e. junk | 01:16 |
| solarcloud | Well, that's half the fun, sorting the weak from the chaff... :) | 01:17 |
| solarcloud | I have to say I absolutely hate Acer Aspires .. there are alwats loads of them on ebay due to problems .. | 01:18 |
| solarcloud | **always.. | 01:18 |
| solarcloud | Oops .. spotted a con job http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&_trksid=p2047675.l2565&rt=nc&item=160968343390 | 01:20 |
| solarcloud | bettr watch out for them.. | 01:20 |
| penguin42 | ah, I was going to suggest the Tesco acer | 01:20 |
| penguin42 | a few Tosh on there | 01:21 |
| solarcloud | I'll have a look... | 01:21 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| penguin42 | solarcloud: Also are you sure you need that size screen? | 01:24 |
| solarcloud | the HP's look nice .. ending in 18 hours time, I'll have to hang-on and do a last 6 second bid thingy. | 01:24 |
| penguin42 | solarcloud: e.g. if you need the size perhaps plugin to a tv? | 01:24 |
| solarcloud | I think I need that screen size , why do you ask ? | 01:25 |
| penguin42 | I guess it restricts your options a lot | 01:25 |
| solarcloud | oh ok .. one problem .. I chucked out the TV last year ! .. | 01:25 |
| penguin42 | oh erm yeh that would be a problem | 01:25 |
| solarcloud | not really, 'e never looked back :D | 01:26 |
| solarcloud | **I've | 01:26 |
| * solarcloud puts his hands in the air as an Expression of Freedom From Tele !! | 01:27 | |
| daftykins | also a CRT would drop your res, not increase it ;) | 01:28 |
| solarcloud | \o/ | 01:28 |
| penguin42 | hmm, don't quite think you can buy a monitor and full machine new for #120 - bet you can do it for #200 including the monitor | 01:33 |
| solarcloud | yeah, I want a laptop cos it's for the small space consideration... I think I'll try this one ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-Pavillion-dv9000-17-Entertainment-laptop-2-0GHz-2GB-RAM-Win-Vista-HP-/261161683012?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item3cce730844 | 01:34 |
| solarcloud | but if all else fails I could try my old desktop in the other room and run Lubuntu on it, I guess. | 01:35 |
| penguin42 | what spec is it? | 01:36 |
| solarcloud | The spare monitor I have got is DisplayPort and the desktop is old-type monitor cable (not HD or anything) ... so can I use an adapter or what, peeps ?? | 01:36 |
| solarcloud | terrible spec. it's a 2004 machine .. | 01:37 |
| daftykins | displayport only? are you sure? | 01:37 |
| daftykins | that's rare as rocking horse... | 01:37 |
| solarcloud | the monitor is yes. | 01:37 |
| solarcloud | I'm using three of them now.. | 01:38 |
| daftykins | i hardly believe it D: | 01:38 |
| penguin42 | what model? | 01:38 |
| solarcloud | Wanna do a hangout and find out ? | 01:38 |
| penguin42 | nah | 01:39 |
| solarcloud | pity the coward, I do. | 01:39 |
| daftykins | 'hangout' ? | 01:40 |
| solarcloud | Anyway, enough of that . I'm done for saturday .. oh wait.. yeah hangout .. I do it everyday on google plus .. it's a video conference. | 01:41 |
| solarcloud | but I'm sure your not interested, so bye. | 01:41 |

| Nils_ | Hey guys | 05:16 |
| Nils_ | I found a solution | 05:16 |
| Nils_ | I deleted all my drivers and now it works | 05:16 |
| Nils_ | Should I keep it this way. Which driver do I use now the open source one? | 05:17 |
| MartijnVdS | woo Half Life (1) works on Intel graphics :) | 07:17 |
| * MartijnVdS now has a proper game to play in Steam on Ubuntu :) | 07:17 | |
| kala087 | hi is there anybody who could help me with linux ubunt?? i am not familiar with system and tried to update but come error and they ask e for grub rescue ?? | 10:26 |
| czajkowski | kala087: just ask and folks may be able to help | 10:26 |
| czajkowski | it's kinda quiet here on a sunday | 10:26 |
| dwatkins | MartijnVdS: ooh, excellent *downloads* | 10:31 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone, | 10:40 |
| kala087 | hi has anyone have spare minute?? i have update my com yesterday and come up error and grub resue.?? i am not familair with system at all. any advuce ?? please | 10:47 |
| MartijnVdS | yes.. ask a question and leave | 10:53 |
| brobostigon | quite, | 10:54 |
| kvarley | Is there an ubuntu equivalent for this? | 11:11 |
| kvarley | http://susestudio.com | 11:11 |
| MartijnVdS | kvarley: http://ubuntustudio.org/ ? | 11:17 |
| MartijnVdS | kvarley: or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0qBaBb1Y-U ? | 11:17 |
| kvarley | MartijnVdS: Lol | 11:18 |
| kvarley | MartijnVdS: I meant is there a GUI based app which will let you make your own ubuntu distro | 11:18 |
| bigcalm_laptop | Hazzar | 11:22 |
| ali1234 | kvarley: you can probably use susestudio with enough hacking around. OBS supports ubuntu | 11:23 |
| kvarley | ali1234: OBS? | 11:23 |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| dwatkins | MartijnVdS: Half-Life runs flawlessly for me, which is interesting, as it required me to install nvidia-common, yet I have an AMD card. | 11:57 |
| ali1234 | nvidia-common is pulled in by some opengl/opencl stuff | 11:59 |
| ali1234 | it's just silly dependencies, there's a bug about it somewhere | 11:59 |
| dwatkins | ah ok, I'm just concerned as I had to uninstall all the NVidia packages yesterday to allow Unity to work properly, ali1234. | 12:02 |
| ali1234 | that's kind of weird | 12:02 |
| dwatkins | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1741783 seems to address this. | 12:04 |
| * penguin42 wonders why translate.google.com managed to detect the polish source text, but offered me translations to Norwegianm English and Spanish (and picked Norwegian by default) | 12:31 | |
| ali1234 | it does that to me all the time | 12:32 |
| ali1234 | then when you change the destination language it also changes the source language to something wrong | 12:32 |
| * penguin42 also wishes they'd integrate into G+ so that you can easily translate a single post | 12:33 | |
| ali1234 | would be nice | 12:33 |
| ali1234 | integrate all the thing! | 12:34 |
| penguin42 | yep | 12:34 |
| SuperEngineer | hi folkies | 12:39 |
| SuperEngineer | anyone tried this? http://tomorrowcorporation.com/littleinferno | 12:40 |
| SuperEngineer | [from same stable as World of Goo] | 12:40 |
| dwatkins | No, but a friend gives it high praise, SuperEngineer - saw a review on youtube, it looks pretty amusing | 12:44 |
| penguin42 | haha that does look good; we've got a particle simulation engine and by heck we're going to use it :-) | 12:45 |
| SuperEngineer | dwatkins: cheers - got a friend who took my advice re World og Goo - now hooked & wants this as well! | 12:45 |
| penguin42 | oh that's a fun one; http://apple.slashdot.org/story/13/02/02/225201/typing-these-8-characters-will-crash-almost-any-app-on-your-mountain-lion-mac?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed | 13:28 |
| MartijnVdS | oops | 13:32 |
| SuperEngineer | hmmm - my installed 12.04 is 12.04.2 - yet download from Ubuntu still points to 12.04.1 - double hmmm | 14:38 |
| jacobw | SuperEngineer: if you experienced the confused over 12.04 and 12.04.1 previously, this wouldn't be a suprise to you :p | 14:58 |
| SuperEngineer | jacobw: lol | 14:58 |
| jacobw | it takes quite a few clicks from the index of ubuntu.com to find the download page now | 15:34 |
| SuperEngineer | not to mention being made to feel like a cheapskate just to get a look at what the download image version is before offering £££ | 15:39 |
| SuperEngineer | I would even go so far as saying it's a tad insulting | 15:42 |
| jacobw | i think it reminds people that producing free software is not without cost | 15:43 |
| BigRedS | It does rather remind me of all those "Would you like the Google toolbar for IE?" things in Windows freeware installers | 15:43 |
| SuperEngineer | jacobw: agreed - but... don't profer an insult if I want to see what version you offer *before* I cough up | 15:45 |
| SuperEngineer | ...and I would like that to be taken as a constructive critism - not a complaint | 15:47 |
| SuperEngineer | [darn - really wish my fingers remembered to follow my brain when spelling!] | 16:06 |

| Laney | oh god | 17:18 |
| Laney | i just realised that the cake tin i'm baking in isn't deep enough and my cake is definitely going to rise over the sides | 17:18 |
| * Laney thinks about constructing artificial sides out of foil | 17:19 | |
| ahayzen | Laney, tht sounds potentially messy ;) wht cake is it? | 17:20 |
| Laney | chocolate beetroot | 17:20 |
| ahayzen | nice | 17:20 |
| Laney | every time i look it's closer | 17:21 |
| Laney | and i dont have enough foil arghghgosudhgosdhg | 17:21 |
| ahayzen | could put it on baking sheet just in case ;) | 17:21 |
| ahayzen | so it doesn't wreck the oven | 17:21 |
| Laney | did | 17:21 |
| penguin42 | yeesh beetroot | 17:21 |
| Laney | but i want to save the cake too if possible | 17:21 |
| ahayzen | could put another tin of similar size upside down on top lol...gonna have to think of something out of the box (or cake tin hehe) | 17:23 |
| Laney | yeah i put the outside of another tin over it | 17:25 |
| Laney | who knows what will happen | 17:25 |
| ahayzen | only one way to find out ;) | 17:26 |
| brobostigon | question, would it be possible, to use something like a ssh tunnel, between my rpi and my vps? and have traffic able to flow both ways? | 18:08 |
| zleap | brobostigon, i can't see why not , a pi is just another linux box | 18:12 |
| brobostigon | zleap: i just havent found a simple enough solution yet, i have read about vpn's and ssh tunnels and other solutions also. | 18:12 |
| zleap | ok | 18:14 |
| zleap | can you do it between 2 normal linux boxes | 18:14 |
| brobostigon | ssh, yes, | 18:14 |
| zleap | ok | 18:15 |
| zleap | so what is the VPN virtual private network, so basically you want a secure link between 2 or more computers | 18:16 |
| brobostigon | yes. | 18:16 |
| brobostigon | same as an ssh tunnel. | 18:16 |
| zleap | ok | 18:17 |
| brobostigon | more or less, | 18:17 |
| jacobw | brobostigon: run openvpn on your vps and use a tap device | 18:18 |
| zleap | i am not an expert at this, but i am guessing it should be possible as te PI is just running Linux, maybe ask on #raspberrypi o | 18:18 |
| zleap | tap device | 18:18 |
| zleap | ? | 18:18 |
| brobostigon | jacobw: that is what i have been looking at, | 18:18 |
| popey | you could use openvpn | 18:19 |
| jacobw | yeah, if you use openvpn with a tap device you'll get an interface with a routeable address on pi and on the vps | 18:20 |
| brobostigon | ah. i see, that could be useful. | 18:21 |
| jacobw | sorry, tun, not tap | 18:22 |
| jacobw | tap is l2, tun is l3 | 18:22 |
| zleap | ? | 18:24 |
| jacobw | https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BridgingAndRouting | 18:24 |
| * zleap is baffled | 18:24 | |
| zleap | ah vpn stuff, i thought for a min you were talking about people | 18:25 |
| brobostigon | jacobw: yes, thats what i am reading, | 18:25 |
| jacobw | zleap: tap and tun devices are virtual network devices in the kernel, openvpn can give you an ethernet→ethernet adapter to send frames through which is a tap device or a network→network adapter which is a tun device to send packets through | 18:27 |
| zleap | ok | 18:29 |
| jacobw | i dunno how i could have been talking about people o_O | 18:30 |
| zleap | its fine, didn't know what tap and tun was | 18:30 |
| brobostigon | jacobw: ok, question, is it possible to do the authentication without certificates? | 18:31 |
| jacobw | brobostigon: you can use a preshared key or usernames and passwords | 18:38 |
| brobostigon | jacobw: ah, i think i just found a page on the openvpn site about it. | 18:38 |
| jacobw | remember you don't have to use passphrases on keys, you can leave them unwrapped and readable only by the system user to be used by services | 18:40 |
| brobostigon | interesting, | 18:41 |
