[08:38] <kvarley> Nvm, found a massive guide on the forums
[08:49] <kvarley> Never knew how much grub did until now
[08:49] <kvarley> Managed to boot from grub>, interesting times
[09:18] <madpup> darn xchat just crashed, is this the correct channel to ask questons?
[09:19] <MartijnVdS> madpup: sure, if we don't know the answer we might even tell you a better place to look ;)
[09:20] <madpup> Cheers Marti, btw how do you red-text?
[09:20] <MartijnVdS> red-text?
[09:20] <MartijnVdS> probably because I mentioned your name
[09:20] <MartijnVdS> madpup: like this
[09:20] <madpup> yep
[09:20] <madpup> oh its just the client highlighting chat

[09:28] <MartijnVdS> what's bumblebee?
[09:28] <MartijnVdS> ah! the two-graphics-chips laptop stuff?
[09:28] <MartijnVdS> http://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee suggests it's possible
[09:29] <madpup> cool will read might have to compile for source as the bumblebee package tries to draw in nvidia-current as a dep
[10:22] <brobostigon> good morning everyone,

[11:49] <brobostigon> morning bigcalm
[12:21] <bigcalm> Anybody noticed Thunderbird not remembering its window size or location upon restart?
[12:44] <redtape-renegade> yep.
[14:31]  * penguin42 drops a pin
[14:33]  * dwatkins hands round peanut butter cookies
[14:35] <penguin42> ooh
[15:25] <penguin42> popey: Do you have access to a Panda board?
[15:33] <popey> penguin42: no
[15:33] <penguin42> popey: Oh well, was just thinking they're hardware wise pretty much identical to that tablet
[15:38] <popey> yeah, it is
[15:54] <popey> i spy ali1234 handywork http://www.iloveubuntu.net/ubuntu-touch-ported-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-builds-available-download
[15:55] <penguin42> I assume it's mostly a matter of wrangling the kernel/boot process and binary blobs and taking the same user space?
[15:56] <popey> there's a porting guide..
[15:57] <popey> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
[15:57] <popey> ali1234: did detail a bit about what he did in his G+ post and gave more detail elsewhere
[16:02] <penguin42> oh I see, it's built the other way than what I expected, but yeh fair enough
[16:03] <penguin42> does anyone know on Firefox for Android whether it's possible to disable cookies on a per-site basis?
[16:04]  * penguin42 wants to disable Cookies for EETimes that's started to require sign in when you get past the 2nd page of viewing; but stopping cookies/javascript fixes that - but I need cookies for other stuff
[16:18] <dwatkins> penguin42: how about using a dedicated browser such as Prism for this?
[16:18] <penguin42> dwatkins: What's prism?
[16:18] <dwatkins> I'm not sure, but I suspect you can change the cookie behaviour just for the one site in it.
[16:19] <penguin42> dwatkins: I know I can do it on desktop firefox
[16:19] <dwatkins> It allows you to have a separate instance of a browser just for a particular URL and load it like an application, e.g. pointed at gmail.
[16:19] <dwatkins> https://wiki.mozilla.org/Prism penguin42
[16:19] <penguin42> thanks
[16:20] <penguin42> I'd prefer it to look like a normal browser because I want Google Reader to pick it up
[16:20] <dwatkins> hope it helps
[16:20] <penguin42> thanks
[16:20] <penguin42> interesting
[16:20] <dwatkins> You can enable the address bar, not sure about google reader integration.
[18:30] <Azelphur> Is there any browser app for Ubuntu that produces a frameless browser with no buttons?
[18:30] <penguin42> can you do that with xulrunner?
[18:31] <Azelphur> dunno what that is
[18:31] <mgdm> does hitting F11 in Chrome or whatever count?
[18:31] <penguin42> oh, no xulrunner packages any more
[18:32] <mgdm> IIRC, Firefox has a switch to make it do XULRunner stuff
[18:32] <Azelphur> *shrug* will just do it with python and qt4, tis a quick thing
[18:51] <Azelphur> spoke to an OUYA dev today at geek 2013
[18:52] <Azelphur> apparently it's all exactly the same code, and when they say that some games won't work on android tablets, they mean that they may not have touch screen support.
[18:52] <Azelphur> so in theory everything should work if you hook up a sixaxis.
[19:39] <ali1234> wow i got my first spam comment on g+
[19:39] <ali1234> and g+ removed it before i even saw it
[19:40] <ali1234> Azelphur: all exactly the same code as what?
[19:40] <Azelphur> ali1234: android
[19:41] <Azelphur> as in like, android tablets/phones
[19:41] <ali1234> oh
[19:41] <ali1234> well that's to be expected really
[19:42] <ali1234> the only things that could be incompatible are touchscreen
[19:42] <ali1234> if ouya has same CPU
[19:43] <ali1234> which it does
[19:44] <Azelphur> yea
[20:08] <diplo> Evening all
[20:13] <mungbean> evening
[20:16] <diplo> Anyone wrote android app on 12.04 ?
[20:21] <mgdm> I did
[20:22] <diplo> Any issues installing/setting up ?
[20:22] <diplo> just d/ling ADT bundle now
[20:27] <mgdm>  not that I recall, other than Eclipse being Eclipse
[20:27] <diplo> heh, thats the bit im not looking forward to
[20:27] <diplo> :)
[20:33] <redtape-renegade> Why do my teeth feel really clean tonite ?? I only had a doner kebab ...  ??
[20:34] <redtape-renegade> must be the    horse !
[20:35] <jacobw> horse is yummy
[20:35] <jacobw> more europe, more horse
[20:42] <ali1234> diplo: necessitas is really easy to use, if you don't mind the Qt runtime install
[20:42] <ali1234> no eclipse needed, just use Qt creator
[20:44] <diplo> Not heard of it, will take a look now ali1234 thanks
[21:28] <Laney> is sriracha as good as They™ say?
[21:29] <popey> its very nice
[21:29] <popey> better than tabasco
[21:30] <AlanBell> it is great
[21:30] <popey> we had eggy bread for tea, which I smothered in sriracha
[21:30] <AlanBell> I had eggs mayo for lunch with loads of it
[21:30] <AlanBell> and spag bol for dinner, with loads of it
[21:30]  * Laney primes some
[21:31] <popey> we went to a belated birthday & xmas do yesterday. I got a bottle of Daves Insanity sauce and a nice retro Casio watch for xmas \o/
[21:32] <popey>  both were on my amz wishlist
[21:55] <Myrtti> Laney: it's less acidic, so it doesn't effectively ruin the taste with vinegar
[22:04] <Azelphur> so, today I played on an OUYA
[22:04] <Azelphur> it was cool.
[22:04] <Azelphur> one of the dev ones with the transparent casing
[22:12] <popey> what games?
[22:13] <Azelphur> fist of awesome
[22:13] <Azelphur> http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/551886203/fist-of-awesome
[22:13] <Azelphur> I met the guy in the video
[22:16] <Azelphur> at his stand at geek 2013, https://www.dropbox.com/s/gsf9wonowkwj3gh/2013-02-24%2010.28.18.jpg :P
[22:17] <popey> ☹ no linux version
[22:17] <Azelphur> indeed :(
[22:17] <popey> did you mention this to him? :
[22:18] <Azelphur> I didn't realise there was no Linux version, I actually thought it was OUYA/android only until I read the kickstarter page
[22:19] <popey> ah
[22:19] <Azelphur> he did however say one interesting thing, apparently all OUYA games will run on other devices, despite what the FAQ says
[22:19] <Azelphur> the only reason why not is because of the lack of a physical controller
[22:19] <Azelphur> he said that a sixaxis should work no problem
[22:20] <popey> did he mention what toolkit/engine he's using?
[22:20] <Azelphur> no, I know it's written in C++ though
[22:21] <popey> oh, it says
[22:21] <popey> http://www.cocos2d-x.org/
[22:21] <popey> that
[22:21] <Azelphur> cool
[22:22] <Azelphur> this makes me tempted to do some ouya work in the future perhaps though
[22:22] <popey> https://twitter.com/nicollhunt/status/305737885401890816
[22:22] <Azelphur> since it's very android compatible, and I like python, this could be a good combination
[22:22] <Azelphur> ah cool :)
[22:27] <Azelphur> but yea, I definitely expect the geek cons to put margate on the map in future :P
[22:27] <Azelphur> tis pretty cool
[22:27] <popey> yeah
[22:27] <Azelphur> popey: did you see that photo I took of the main gaming area?
[22:28] <Azelphur> https://www.dropbox.com/sh/aweozfzwfr2qwqo/5PWdlBFFrO#f:2013-02-23%2011.28.41.jpg
[22:28] <Azelphur> that's rows upon rows of everything from arcade machines and binatones to xboxes running halo
[22:29] <Azelphur> my friend was a steward for the event so he snuck me up onto the balcony to take that photo :P
[22:29] <diplo> Didn't know you could do the browse thing with dropbox, like that
[22:29] <Azelphur> diplo: yea, just put the photos in a folder in the Photos directory
[22:29] <diplo> Looks like an interesting event Azelphur, hadn't heard about it
[22:30] <diplo> ah right, will give that a go!
[22:30] <Azelphur> yea, it miiiight run again in the summer, if not next year
[22:31] <Azelphur> basically my life for the past two days has been, get up at 9am in the morning, get ready, leave at 9:45 to arrive for opening at 10am, leave at 5pm when they shut for an hour to do a shuffle and grab a KFC, go back in at 6pm till 11pm, go home, sleep, rinse and repeat.
[22:31] <Azelphur> xD
[22:32] <diplo> nice
[22:35] <Azelphur> http://eventifier.co/event/geek2013 has a lot of good photos on it
[22:36] <popey> heh
[22:36] <popey> nice
[22:47] <bigcalm> Oh my. A BBC Master 128K. I dreamed of having one over my BBC Model B (32K) and B+ (64K I think).
[22:48] <bigcalm> So many young people in those photos :S
