I have a Ubuntu FS which is unpacked onto an EXT4 partition on the USB drive, I've changed the fstab to match the UUID. Installed grub via grub-install but it won't boot when I plug it into my laptop. any ideas on stuff I might have missed? [07:07] kvarley: maybe the laptop can't boot off USB? [07:08] MartijnVdS: I know it can :) [07:08] kvarley: did you grub-install to /dev/sdx or /dev/sdx1? [07:08] MartijnVdS: # grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [07:09] The laptop shipped with Windows 8 but I have disabled secure boot, could it still be causing issues? [07:09] kvarley: I'd bind-mount /dev, /sys and /proc in to (where you've mounted /) and chroot into it :) [07:10] kvarley: --boot-directory never worked for me [07:10] kvarley: ah.. it still UEFI-boots? Do you have the UEFI boot partition stuff? [07:10] Oh yeah sorry, once chrooted to /mnt I did mount sys mount proc mount dev [07:10] MartijnVdS: No, that'd be why then :P === jussi01 is now known as jussi [07:46] MartijnVdS: getting in what? [07:46] ali1234: btc [07:47] i've been in it for two years... [07:47] i was just checking the version in precise... because that version is going to stop working soon [07:47] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/bitcoin/+bug/1159832 [07:47] Ubuntu bug 1159832 in bitcoin (Ubuntu Quantal) "[FFE] bitcoin: Mandatory upgrade on May 15" [Medium,Triaged] [07:48] AlanBell or TheOpenSourcerer, either of you about ? [07:48] diplo: \o/ [07:48] 'sup? [07:48] Hiya, just got a question ref vTiger if you could help [07:48] sure [07:49] A friend of mine runs a charity and wants some CRM software, I suggested vTiger and SugarCRM, but have used neither and know you guys use vTiger, just wondering benefits over either to recommend [07:49] vtiger is opensource. Sugar is opencore (loads of the good bits are proprietary/expensive). [07:50] Also mentioning your company for support details as well and maybe installation but not sure where they are going to go with it [07:50] Ah, I thought i read something like that this morning [07:50] vtiger was forked from Sugar from what i read earlier a few years ago ? [07:50] Yes, ~2005 IIRC [07:50] now they are very different. [07:51] I do shedloads of vtiger work. We are getting several new enquiries every week currently [07:52] We can host it if they want. We can customise it. [07:52] Not sure what money they have yet, was just a question on facebook this morning, just linked her to your website [07:52] Thanks.

[08:03] heh, I'd love to do it but one i don't i can afford to and secondly I'm not really close enough :) [08:03] "i don't think i can afford to*" [08:06] Morning [08:06] and i'm not clever enough lol [08:06] pfft [08:06] * TheOpenSourcerer keeps quiet [08:06] lol [08:06] * TheOpenSourcerer goes back to hacking vtiger CRM [08:08] :p [08:10] I'm not if my own python scripts count as a 'contribution to open source projects' [08:10] I guess they're on Launchpad :P [08:13] Just in case anyone missed it and is wondering what the discussion is about: http://www.libertus.co.uk/about-us/jobs/7-free-software-engineer ;-) [08:13] heh [08:18] TheOpenSourcerer: ooo new job? what's that all about ;) lol [08:18] === michelle is now known as michelle_ [08:25] know any company thats looking to use high performance clusters, but doesn't want to own their own one?

[08:53] Happy sibling day, folks! :-D [09:20] JamesTait: Sibling Day? Really? [09:20] jacobw, if daysoftheyear.com is to be believed. Which I'll let you decide. ;) [09:21] Haha [09:21] What if one's sibling is dead? [09:21] jacobw, it's on the internet, it must be true, right? [09:22] TheOpenSourcerer, then I suggest today is a good day to remember their memory. ;) [09:22] Honour their memory. [09:22] Something. [09:22] Hmmm - never really liked him that much. [09:23] But yes - a good idea. I will ponder on my bro's memory for a while. [09:23] :-| [09:23] sibling day is usually called their birthday [09:24] TheOpenSourcerer, reminds me of a plaque I saw above a bar once: "All of our customers bring us pleasure - some by arriving, others by leaving." [09:24] lol [09:25] it's my birthday next week....booooo [09:25] why boo [09:26] mungbean: another year older lol [09:29] MooDoo: nah, its another day older [09:29] you grew a year older in the 364 days in between [09:29] mungbean, +1 [09:29] Er, no pun intended. [09:30] :P [09:30] i'm 21 again :) lol [09:30] MooDoo: 0x21 [09:32] :) [09:36] amazon cloud player is awful for linux users [09:36] s/for linux users// [09:37] i found aquarius's blog post about google play on linux to be interesting [09:37] +1 sounds like all you need is HAL and you're good to go [09:37] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Magnet-Expert-Ltd-Magnetic-Education/dp/B006FTCL02/ [09:37] yes, tested it, works well [09:37] there must be a cool use for this [09:38] I do like google play [09:38] linky please popey? [09:39] http://kryogenix.org/days/2013/04/09/watching-films-on-ubuntu-in-england [09:39] once your album is in cloud player you have to use a UA switcher to get the amz file and use in clamz [09:40] or you could upload to google music [09:40] which works fine on ubuntu [09:41] yup I use google music [09:44] popey: i bought the albums in amazon though [09:44] so it's getting them out thats the pain [09:47] netflix etc have done a good job of conning non-customers into thinking they are a massive library of all films ever [09:47] i dont actually use google or amazon music, I only use spotify [09:47] but I am tempted to switch away [09:47] i like to own music [09:47] i dont use netflix for films, but tv series [09:47] as i only buy around 10 albums a year max [09:48] and the last 2 were suddenly reduced from £15 to £3 [09:49] popey, If it's for the spotify client : You need to put your suggestions here.. http://bit.ly/ZgMQvE [09:50] leaves [09:50] what? [09:51] mungbean: you want to get really angry at netflix, try somethink like mediahint that proxies your connection [09:51] the american netflix actually has more episodes of Doctor Who than the UK version [09:51] AND they actually have torchwood episodes [09:51] so does the uk one [09:52] I didn't spot torchwood, so I retract that one [09:52] i like films, but only good ones. hence i don't end up watching many that were made west of land's end [09:52] all four seasons [09:52] but essentially, I think they're using the same advertising here as in the states, which means we are lead to believe there's a lot, when there really isn't [09:53] 5 seasons of doctor who too [09:53] there's 6 seasons on US netflix [09:53] iplayer should do a paid service - why on earth don't they? [09:53] where you can access all old content [09:54] Lil-|^Red: wouldn't it be easier if you'd stick to the same nickname? [09:54] i heard a rumour that some bbc employees have access to such an archive [09:54] I would prefer a single, broadcaster ambivolent service [09:54] Hmm, the BBC would have difficultly operating a subscription service [09:54] not just bbc employees [09:54] i have a non-bbc friend who got access [09:54] SuperMatt: See Porject Canvas [09:54] so it's real? [09:54] it allows you to download any programme for the main networks, not just bbc [09:55] it captures each programme, and you can download the raw mpeg2 stream [09:55] i want [09:55] i tried to get access but they stopped signups [09:56] missed last 2 minutes of a documentary t'other day, and 4od didn't have it [09:56] youtube did, but i was in the wrong country (!?!UK!!!) [09:56] official 4od youtube channel [09:56] craziness [09:56] that happens sometimes [09:57] I have had it too, I moaned at a friend whose company provide some of the backend [09:57] he said it is a problem with one of the (multiple) CDNs they use [09:57] the GEOIP fails sometimes [09:57] i'll try again from work then :P [09:57] heh [09:58] is there a 4od downloader? [09:58] I've long maintained that if you're using geoip to do something important you've made a mistake somewhere [09:59] no [09:59] I do love variety - http://launchpad.net/variety [09:59] google play gives you 30 days to choose a 2 day window to watch the film. not bad i suppose [09:59] it gave me this as my desktop background today which is lovely http://www.flickr.com/photos/52821721@N00/3193043847 [10:00] I wouldn't mind a google play subscription service [10:01] Hi peeps :) [10:05] hullo [10:06] Goood Morning! [10:07] ls [10:08] Morning all [10:08] BigRedS: you're not going to get a very good listing in irc honest [10:09] I've had some good ones in the past, but some have been, er, the sort of file listings I don't want made public [10:09] once it had exactly the file I was looking for, too! [10:10] Desktop Downloads Videos Donkeys Dropbox [10:11] haha, yeah, that sort of thing [10:12] Anyone used webissues before? I need a really simple bugtracker with a UI that people will bother to use. Bugzilla's failed at this :( [10:12] redmine [10:13] lovely web ui and also handles email submissions/updates too [10:13] yeah, but it's in ruby and I really really really hate that [10:13] doens't matter once its installed [10:13] for about a year 90% of my time seemed to be occupied by arguing with gem to make redmine work [10:14] got mine running in no time and has been rock stable for 3 years [10:14] yeah, took me a while to convince gem I had the right version of mysql installed blah blah blah [10:14] ruby is remarkably picky [10:15] or at least gems is [10:15] yeah, I don't get on well with gems [10:16] mungbean: have you updated it in those three years? :) [10:16] yes , although not for 1 year [10:16] somebody else might have updated it this year tho [10:17] i now have 3 desks in 3 different offices [10:17] well, at least that's not one desk in three different offices [10:17] currently sitting at the warmest, quietest, sunniest one [10:19] I'm working from home today and, fortunately, the cat's in a huff with me [10:19] so I should get some work done [10:28] no need for PawSense, BigRedS? [10:30] chuffing parking ticket....raaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [10:37] dwatkins: she's actually completely uninterested in the keyboard [10:37] tends to wedge herself on my lap between me and the desk, and slowly expand, pushing me away from the desk and leaving me with nothing better to do than give her attention [10:37] cunning [10:38] hmm. thought i had added my id_rsa key to ssh-add but still asking for password - i have multiple keys [10:38] MooDoo: I don't have much sympathy for people that complain about parking tickets, though I am aware there can be some circumstances where they're given out in error. care to share? [10:38] actually, that's not true [10:38] SuperMatt: igot one for knocking on my friends door [10:39] although waiting 3 mins is allowed [10:39] I do have sympathy for the poor sods that try to get to their car in time, but are held up for some reason and turn up a minute late with a sticker waiting for them [10:39] surely waiting implies that you should be in the car? [10:39] no [10:40] you can be ona yellow line 3 mins and be away from car [10:40] i was knocking on the door [10:40] ok, I see [10:40] came back and he gave me one "i've started it now" [10:40] didn't realise you could drive off [10:40] doh [10:40] without acepting [10:41] i was young, and only owned my car for 30 minutes [10:41] I've been ticketed twice in my life [10:41] once for parking on the street outside my house because I was too scared to reverse park in the drive way (I'd passed a couple of days before) [10:41] and once when I outstayed my welcome by a minute [10:42] I was parked at work and got it as i hadn't displayed a parking permit [10:42] both of which were might fault [10:42] MooDoo: you'll be able to contest that one faily easily then [10:42] SuperMatt: motorbike, no place for permits [10:43] ah of course [10:43] you should almost certainly be able to contest it [10:43] not parked in a bay. [10:43] Yeah, I've contested those in the past [10:43] but they sometimes ask for a copy of the permit [10:43] so you can't say "I had it and did attach it but it fell off" [10:45] sigh another£60 i could without spending [10:46] we got a photo ticket through the post a while back, while I was out at work [10:46] wifey phoned to apologise and ask me not to be cross and that she'd pay it and sorry sorry sorry [10:46] I said it was fine.. [10:46] then got home and looked at the picture.. [10:46] it was me [10:46] lolz [10:46] makes you sound like an ogre [10:46] lol [10:46] does doesn't it [10:47] don't beat me again [10:47] i'll do the dishes for a year [10:47] btw i'm being a bit lame with my ssh keys [10:47] thats the only time I've ever been photographed [10:47] i was going the wrong way in a one way bus lane [10:47] \o/ [10:47] lol [10:47] popey: I can disprove that you haven't been photographed on other occasions [10:47] what in the [10:48] i've aded the key to ssh-add but still asks for password [10:48] mungbean: pass_word_ or pass_phrase_? [10:48] I've only had a couple of ticket, when I've dropped the Mother-in-law off and been in a disabled bay and forgotten to put her badge out [10:48] mungbean: also, did you add your public key to remote:~/.ssh/authorized_keys? [10:48] passphrase [10:50] what with my blender failing, the microwave failing, the hard drive in my laptop failing and now a parking ticket, i'm not having a good week lol [10:50] :( [10:51] MartijnVdS: i didn't have my pub key on the client [10:51] mungbean: the server, you mean? [10:51] mungbean: your pubkey AND privkey are in ~/.ssh/id_*{,.pub} after generating [10:52] i'd generated on another machine [10:52] yay 1kg bag of tea [10:52] turns out that's quite a lot [10:52] and only copied priv key to client [10:52] mungbean: never copy privkeys to other machines if you can help it [10:53] huh? [10:53] they are both my machines [10:53] laptop and desktop [10:53] u saying i should generate new ones for each pc? [10:55] i would [10:55] mungbean: you can put lots of keys in authorized_keys on the server(s) [10:55] That means that if one privkey gets compromised/stolen, you can just remove that one and don't have to go around replacing keys everywhere [10:56] as its a laptop i probably should, but its a pain to modify auth keys on the servers [10:57] mungbean: vi .ssh/authorized_keys [11:01] ssh-copy-id [11:11] i wish there was an irc for scale modellers. cannot findone anywhere. i have so many questions that forums don't really handle well [11:12] surprised there isnt a stackexchange for it [11:12] http://stackexchange.com/sites [11:15] i'll try to start one and drum up support [11:16] unfortunately the main place to drump up support are on forums... [11:16] the airbrush thread on airfixtributeforum is over 60 pages [11:16] impossible to glean useful info [11:16] it's like trawling xdadevelopers [11:18] Guys thoughts on this issue before I delve deeper [11:19] We have around 80 customers, a lot of them run 2-3 servers [11:19] We want to monitor certain services with Nagios, so we use check_by_ssh [11:19] Issue we've experienced is that we use different ports to connect directly to different boxes [11:20] mungbean: this is why all forums suck [11:20] But... know hosts stores this via IPAddress it seems and so connecting to 2 different hosts comes up with a known hosts warning [11:20] yes. i like stackexchange as i can use my launchpad openid :D [11:27] What's the differnce between a StackExchange and a forum? [11:28] with a forum, it's just questions and answers with stack exchange the more a question is viewed then it puts popular posts at the top [11:29] http://askubuntu.com/ [11:29] this is a stack exchange site. [11:29] SE is more definitive [11:29] forums are rambling and comments add noise [11:29] everything has equal weight in a forum (bad) [11:33] for some reason I can't fathom, the ubuntu forums are planning to re-activate having tutorials on the forums rather then having them collaboratively off-site [11:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2132649 [11:35] ಠ_ಠ [11:35] forums. [11:37] and we all know how you feel about forums popey ;) [11:37] the reason is quite clearly stated in the thread [11:37] since the tutorials were converted to wikis, nobody uses them [11:38] this doesn't really surprise me, i mean the ubuntu wiki is probably the only ubuntu site less useful than launchpad answers [11:39] most pages in it seem to get moved more often than they get edited. i have no idea why [11:40] it's not like there is an index or any kind of organizational hierarchy to it, so the constant moving of pages seem to only break external search engine links [11:40] I like the wikipages more than forums or answers or askubuntu combined [11:41] let's suppose i am having a problem with my graphics card and i go to wiki.ubuntu.com [11:41] you wouldnt [11:41] you would go to google.com [11:41] i know i wouldn't, because i know the wiki is useless [11:41] exactly [11:41] but lets suppose i didn't already know that [11:42] you still wouldn't go to wiki.ubuntu.com [11:42] there is nothing at all that even references help or support on the front page [11:42] nobody does [11:42] because thats not what its for [11:42] ok, so i go to google and i put in "ubuntu graphics" [11:42] the top hit is a link to the wiki... which is completely irrelevant [11:43] do people search for that phrase? [11:43] ubuntu nvidia, maybe [11:43] what would you suggest that i try to search for? [11:43] ubuntu driver problem maybe [11:43] dunno [11:44] ubuntu video driver [11:44] wiki doesn't even appear on the first page for "ubuntu nvidia" [11:44] why should it? [11:44] same [11:44] because all the helpful content from the forums got moved there [11:44] and now nobody can find it [11:45] I'm not keen on it being on the wiki [11:45] I'd rather it was on AU [11:45] pretty sure I said so back when this was debated [11:45] AU isn't a forum [11:45] i didnt say it was [11:45] neither is the wiki [11:46] AU is a place to ask questions, not write tutorials [11:46] "how do i fix my broken video driver on 12.10" [11:46] is a question [11:47] ali1234: plus au is way easier to find stuff on [11:48] When I google for problems I get the Arch wiki [11:48] usually [11:48] the big problem I have with the forum is that tutorials whither and die, and the OP wanders off and they never get corrected [11:48] same can happen with the wiki of course [11:48] before the crash, you'd get the Gentoo wiki [11:48] MartijnVdS: add Ubuntu rather than linux :) [11:48] but at least other people can edit the wiki or delete the page [11:48] davmor2: I can translate :) [11:49] MartijnVdS: do Ubuntu fix x rather than Linux fix x and you get more specific Ubuntu info :) [11:50] i agree that AU would be better for most of this stuff (except the stuff that would definitely get closed as being too specific) but i also think that even the forums would be better than the wiki [11:50] davmor2: yes but the problems I have tend to be too hard for most tutorials anyway :) [11:50] davmor2: "what was the 'ip' command for setting the default route again?" [11:50] try googling anything for the 'ip' command, actually [11:51] "man ip" top hit [11:51] MartijnVdS: Ubuntu setting a default route? [11:52] http://askubuntu.com/questions/1245/add-default-route-on-boot too localized! [11:53] apparently setting a route is "an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet" [11:54] ali1234: I agree [11:55] davmor2: nah, I want to avoid the 'route' and 'ifconfig' tools because they're supposed to be deprecated :) [11:55] davmor2: also, I don't always use Ubuntu, sometimes I use Debian or OpenWRT :) [11:55] MartijnVdS: shame on you ;) [11:55] davmor2: openwrt = the bobm [11:56] davmor2: I have an OpenWRT router on the fibre connection at home :) [11:56] MartijnVdS: openwrt did work fully on my router, however dd-wrt did so that is what I am using [11:57] davmor2: I bought mine specifically because OpenWRT works on it :) [11:57] ♥TP-Link [11:57] MartijnVdS: I have TP-link [11:58] ow do davmor2 [11:58] MartijnVdS: it does rock [11:58] * popey hugs his WNDR3700 [11:58] MooDoo: ay up mucka [12:00] * MartijnVdS has a TP-Link WDR-4300 [12:00] popey: that's netgear, right? [12:01] MartijnVdS: TP-Link TL-WR841ND v7 it was the cheapest router I could get :) [12:02] MartijnVdS: I think open wrt works on it now but may or may not display a gui iirc [12:04] davmor2: ah, its gui is a bit big.. I didn't bother with it :) [12:04] yes [12:05] MartijnVdS: ah you see I could learn all the tinkering but I just needed a better version of software that was on it basically rebooting once a week was getting tedious :) [12:06] davmor2: I can imagine :) [12:06] MartijnVdS: you could guarantee it would happen during a meeting too :) [12:06] heh, of course! [12:08] * bigcalm grumbles at Halfords - ordered DAB unit on Thursday afternoon with the suggestion that it could be fitted on Monday or Tuesday. I had to phone to find out that it hadn't been delivered to them yet. Next fitting appointment I can attend isn't until Monday next week. [12:09] -tt- [12:09] the dd-wrt has only locked up on me once and that was after virgin's network had been down for an age and their hub had issues so I had to reboot that [12:09] open-wrt > dd-wrt :) [12:13] bigcalm: it's opener, or it FEELS opener at least :) [12:14] MartijnVdS: it allows me to share my phone's 3g connection via the router's USB port. dd-wrt can't (or couldn't) do that [12:15] * MartijnVdS recompiles OpenWRT manually [12:17] I've played with some meshing software on TP-Link 703n boxes as well [12:17] (tiny 5x5cm APs with an USB port, an ethernet port, and wifi) [12:19] zigbee? [12:23] no, 802.11s [12:23] hey guys, moving from a mac to an ubuntu machine. all my config that was in bash_profile [12:23] can that stay there [12:23] ? [12:23] it doesnt seem to be loaded by default every time I start a new shell [12:24] I have to . ~/.bash_profile [12:24] josh__: ~/.bash_profile you mean? [12:24] aye [12:24] ls -l ~/.bash_profile ? [12:24] what are its permissions? [12:24] is there a .profile? maybe that goes first (read 'man bash' about which config files go first) [12:24] -rw-rw-r-- [12:24] .bash_profile is read once on login, .bashrc is read for every terminal opened [12:25] my .bash_profile is one line: . ~/.bashrc [12:25] and everything of note is in ~/.bashrc [12:25] my ~/.profile points to .bashrc not bash_profile [12:25] guess thats why...? [12:30] .profile is also only read on login [12:30] so you put all the settings in .bashrc instead [12:31] and stay away from the .profile ones :) [13:31] meh, still not received my little cable in the post i need to ddwrt my wifi AP [13:34] mungbean: what kind of cable is that? [13:34] mungbean: USB/Serial? [13:35] [13:35] USB 2.0 to UART TTL 6PIN Connector Module Serial Converter [13:35] so.. yes :) [13:35] yep [13:35] :D [13:35]
