Laneydo deer produce milk? there's deer in the park up the road09:23

Myrttiwe've got about ten liters of UHT whole milk in our emergency cupboard :-P09:23
Myrtti(mainly used for making yoghurt)09:23
directhexUHT is not a job for the emergency cupboard. UHT is for use in the fallout shelter when you run out of fresh rat milk09:23
Myrttiwell for it's main purpose in our household it works fine09:25
Myrtti(its)09:26
MyrttiI recon it's better to buy organic British UHT whole milk than to buy some New Zealand powdered milk with witch craft in it09:26
Myrtti(ie. use some old yoghurt as a culture and mix it in the UHT milk rather than using Easy-Yo packs and water)09:27

shaunoheh, that's an awkward default.  VM with 2gb disk, 1gb ram.  installer creates 1gb filesystem and 1gb swap.  so I've got roughly 250MB disk left out of the box10:58

MooDooshauno: that's plenty enough space for minecraft, what's the issue?10:59
MooDoo;)10:59
shaunohah, my world dir is 700MB11:00
MooDooouch lol11:00
* popey wonders how big the home server one is11:01
shaunoit shouldn't actually be an issue, the application gets mounted from a second disk.  it just feels a bit like ryanair.  technically enough space for 2 legs, but only on paper11:01

celestehhello, I have a computer with a touchscreen and what I want to do is plug it into a project and mirror the display, so my main screen gets resized/letterboxed, but be able to keep using the stylus. So the calibration numbers for the stylus would adjust to the new screen geometry.  I have tried googling, but I don't know what terms to search for.13:56

celestehdwatkins: a lenovo x220 tablet running ubuntu studio 13.0414:54
dwatkinscelesteh: it should have fn keys you can use to switch display modes, although I have no idea if they're implemented in Raring; you might need to manually select the display option to mirror it.15:01
dwatkins...assuming Raring picks up the secondary screen, of course.15:01
celestehThe problem I'm having is that if the screen resolution changes, say because of mirroring, the callibration for the touch screen does not compensate for this15:05
celestehSo the place where i'm touching the screen is not where the arrow is appearing15:05
popeycelesteh: do you know what make of touch device it is?15:06
popeyis it a wacom one?15:06
TheOpenSourcererpopey: What's the plan dude?15:10
TheOpenSourcererCobbett at 6?15:10
celestehpopey: it's treated as a wacom by ubuntu, but i think this is not the actual make. there's some firmaware update i'm supposed to install which will effect how ubuntu sees it15:11

mungbeani get the ripped abs inline ads20:42
MartijnVdSdiddledan: you can close your account :)20:42
MartijnVdSor use an ad blocker20:42
mungbeaninline ads on the phone ;(20:42
MartijnVdSI removed facebook from my phone.. it ate my battery20:43
mungbeandisable push?20:43
MartijnVdSmungbean: nah, I like it better like this20:44
MartijnVdSmungbean: I use(d) FB too much anyway20:44

MartijnVdSmungbean: the website works fine :)20:45
mungbeanfb is excellent place to put baby pics etc20:45
mungbeangetting asked for help on setting up website, should i direct them to a person, or a website that helps this stuff?20:46
mungbeandon'twanna get saddled with it20:46
MartijnVdSprobably, yes20:46
MartijnVdSmungbean: do they want a blog? blogger or tumblr20:46
mungbeani don't even wanna ask20:46
MartijnVdSmungbean: Tell them your consulting rate ;)20:47
diddledansee, the problem is the critical mass phenomena - I stay on facebook because all my friends and family are on facebook. they stay on facebook because they're nieve and won't change now they're established; and besides all _their_ friends are on facebook.. ad infinitum20:47
MartijnVdSmungbean: £100/hr, £75 because you know them so wel20:47
MartijnVdSl20:47
MartijnVdSdiddledan: the only reason I haven't closed my account is that there are some people I only talk to using FB20:48
MartijnVdSdiddledan: and I don't want to NOT talk to them :)20:49
diddledanI don't actually have any idea as to the going rate for things like web consultancy. despite working along exactly those lines. the costing is up to my bosses, I just take my paycheque20:49
diddledanMartijnVdS, I know what you mean20:49
diddledan(take my cheque and do all the meaningful work :-p)20:50
MartijnVdSdiddledan: £75-100/hr sounds nice though, right?20:50
MartijnVdSdiddledan: (family rates)20:50
diddledanyes it does :-p20:50
shaunoif you can get the hours, anyway.  I did a gig on $60/hr for a while.  it sounds great, until you find yourself sitting at home praying for something to break this week20:52
diddledanlol @ email I just got from hantslug: "One final note (and it's quite important), we have no Vodafone coverage on [southampton uni] campus at the moment, due to this blasted peregrine falcon up their mast, and therefore they can't fix it... (It broke)"20:53
MartijnVdShaha :)20:53
MartijnVdSewps20:53
MartijnVdSI wonder what coverage will be like in Cornwall20:53
MartijnVdSprobably 2G all the way.. 64kbit if I'm lucky20:53

MartijnVdSdiddledan: I'm just visiting, for about a week, next month20:54
diddledanneed to buy some weetabix20:54
MartijnVdSdiddledan: so wired internet is probably out :)20:54
diddledanaah20:54
diddledanthank god for that - I had palpatations thinking about it20:54
MartijnVdSit's only a week20:55
mungbeanweetabix? constipated/20:55
diddledanno fibre in cornwall = need to buy weetabix20:56

MartijnVdSdiddledan: I'm from the Netherlands, don't think I don't know weather ;)21:03
diddledanlol21:03
shaunocornwall isn't really in the UK as far as weather goes.  it's its own little world21:03

shaunomungbean, industrial tribunal if it can't be handled in-house, usually21:16

shaunoI dread using the busses when miniature people are allowed outside21:23
shaunoI gotta admit though, I'm getting just as bad as the locals.  this weather is getting me down.  I'll take any change I get to gripe about it.  and I grew up in scotland!21:24
redtapeminiature people ??21:24
diddledanyou have an abundance of little people over there?21:24
diddledanI know you like your midgets, but still21:24
shaunowe do!  they keep them in prison camps until 3pm, and then unleash them all upon the public transport system.  it's pretty evil, because given a chance, I don't wake up until 2pm21:25
dwatkinsin Vienna, the underground is free for children21:25

diddledanmy boss doesn't seem to agree tho21:26

diddledanyup, that's the one21:27
redtapepizza be good  , thou  .21:27
diddledanalso the "difficult to run a business" speach21:27
diddledanI fully appreciate his point of view, but then I also appreciate sleep21:28
mungbeani find it weird that one guy gets suspended sentence for tweeting an image, but the retweeters dont21:28
mungbeanbut the original tweet was from a blog, hence could be considered a retweet in itself21:29
redtapei only go on twitter once a week .. even then I only get 2 days of tweets before it doesn't scroll no more :(21:29
diddledanok, I succumbed and turned the oven on21:30
redtapepiza ?21:30
diddledanpizza will be had21:30
redtapeah -ha !21:30
mungbeansome people follow 2000 people...i mean whats the point?21:30
diddledanI might have some beer around here someplace, too21:30
redtapei know.21:30
redtapei went onto website called http://www.circlecount.com/communities/  to see wat communities have blossomed .. but it's mostly mulch .21:32
diddledantwitter is all about finding out when z-list celeb snogs another z-list celeb, or to detail horrifying gore from the frontline of some war we shouldn't have started. facebook is all about finding out when your sister snogs joe down the road, or to detail horrifying gore from the frontline of bejeweled dash21:33
redtapeglad i dont use either   , much !21:33
diddledanthe resistance is strong, I sense. resist no more, you will.21:34
diddledanhands up who didn't read that with yoda's voice?21:34
mungbeantwitter for me is not having to install an rss reader21:35
redtapeIf only Ubuntu lauched a proper website like plus.google.con then they would easily have a proper slice of activity on the net .. but they dont like making friends that wont pay .. or maynot pay at some point in the future ...21:35
diddledanspeaking of ubuntu.. I need to upgrade21:36
mungbeanubuntu planet used to be popular21:36
mungbeani stoped reading after i stopped using rss reader21:36
redtapei'm just tired of being preached to .. :-(21:37
diddledanI occasionally read an omgbuntu article that gets shoved into my phone21:37
diddledanbut that's not canonical owned21:37
diddledanso no revenue21:37
diddledanI sometimes wonder what life would be like with a Gentoo-phone21:38
redtapei only think that centup is the real way to get bloggiong revenue .. flattr is a fart.21:38
diddledanthen I stop flogging myself with a pitchfork and come back to my senses21:38
mungbeandoes gentoo really exist?21:38
mungbeani thought it was a fake thing like arch21:39
redtapegentoo ?21:39
diddledanit's similar to arch. arch is a fork afaik21:39
redtapeisn't that pendrive linux or sommit ?21:39
mungbeanarch is just a fake linux that trolls invoke on blog comments21:40
diddledannope, gentoo is a meta-distribution - it provides the means to compile a system from scratch21:40
redtapetakes all night thou ..21:40
diddledaneach gentoo installation is unique21:40
mungbeani'm making up a linux called barry21:40
diddledanbarry island linux would totally take off21:41
mungbeani won't go to the bother of making isos21:41
redtapebarry .. the one with brown hair   ??21:41
mungbeani'll just talk about it on g+ and the like21:41
mungbeansoon there will be a following21:41
redtapemay do if its GNU/Linux , i guess.21:42
diddledanI have to sysadmin a bunch of Gentoo servers at work21:42
diddledanreally? who uses gentoo on a server?!21:42
mungbean15 years runnig linux in the enterprise, i never saw anything but ubuntu/debian/centos/fedora/rhel on a server (ocassionally suse on an appliance)21:43
mungbeani would sack anyone for using gentoo in the enterprise21:43
mungbeansorry, gotta wait 3 days to install this mate21:43
mungbeanbarry linux fixes that anyway21:44
mungbeanany problem with linux? barry is better21:44
* redtape wonders where the other 100 distro's go wrong , then ?21:45
redtape**1000's21:45
diddledanwell the Government don't seem to mind, at least. well they haven't complained yet.21:45
diddledanbut then they'd probably pay through the nose for it to be "fixed" in so much as that means installing ubuntu instead.21:47
redtapeanyone seen any good crowd-funders lately (projects etc ?)21:47
directhexin business, you need to quantify your risks21:48
directhexthis includes the risks of your software failing21:48
directhexpeople opt for distros like suse and rhel not because they're good, but because there's a phone number for supportr21:48
redtape.. leaves for bed  .. bye bye ..21:48
directhexi.e. "a neck to choke"21:48
diddledanunless the business is freeloading21:49
ali1234right, u[grade tiem21:51
mungbeanwatches kubuntu video...still ugly21:51
mungbeankde on barry linux is much nicer21:52
diddledanwe totally need to make barry popular21:53
redtapeshauno: Oh, shauno .. there's a meetup in Dublin for Ubuntu on the 28th April for the release . I won't be there ,. but thought you'd like to know ...21:54
mungbeani like this subreddit http://www.reddit.com/r/Pareidolia/21:54
redtapemungbean: Is it about aliens ?21:55
mungbeannope, it's faces in everyday objects21:56
ali1234opensuse has the best kde21:56
ali1234and the worst everything else21:56
directhexdiddledan, well, no, there are plenty of valid reasons for a business not to use a commercial distro21:57
directhexdiddledan, e.g. we use debian at work... and a lot of the senior staff are debian developers21:57
diddledanwhat would be the freeloader's equivalent to landscape for ubuntu? e.g. I personally run three servers out and about, and several desktoppy things21:58
diddledanfour servers even21:58
diddledanI've got nagios running for the monitoring aspect21:59
diddledanspeaking of which. five servers. I have too many servers.22:00
mungbeanspacewalk22:00
mungbeanalthough its mainly for centos22:00
diddledanyeah, I got put off by it/s22:00
diddledanit's rhel/centos emphasis22:01
diddledanoh how annoying. OS X you suck! I turned off inverse scrolling so my mousewheel worked how it does everywhere else, but now other gestures on the trackpad are all back-to-front22:04
diddledanlike swiping for a workspace on the right takes you left, and vice versa22:05
diddledanI really need ubuntu to run on here nicely.. it seems to have issue wiht my wifi card tho22:06
diddledanthe issue manifests as silently dropping all packets destined for the network, but still saying the network is connected. happens after some time with where the connection has been working fine with no problems..22:07
shaunoyou inverted scrolling, and then complain scrolling is inverted?22:08
diddledanshauno, yup, that about sums it up22:08
ali1234update aborted because: the install iso won't boo22:08
diddledanI didn't say it was logical22:08
ali1234t22:08
diddledanouch22:09
shaunothe swipe behaviour actually makes sense.  imagine you're moving a scrollbar now, not the screen22:09
diddledanali1234, bad burn or download? or is the copy on the mirror b0rked?22:09
ali1234download is fine22:10
ali1234md5 matches22:10
ali1234writing it again now22:10
diddledantry md5sum /dev/sr022:10
ali1234i can't it's a usb device22:11
shaunoprobably not a good idea while it's burning anyway22:11
ali1234it's not burning22:11
ali1234the iso won't even fit on a cd any more22:12
shaunoI should take another stab at raising openstack this weekend.  I wiped it in frustration last night22:13
shaunothe only useful thing I've figured out so far, is that if the documentation is more than a month or two old, ignore it22:14
ali1234they just told me about devstack in #juju22:18
ali1234devstack.org22:18
directhexdiddledan, i have about 70 vms, all told. maybe more. i'd need to count22:19
shaunoyeah, I got that up, but with very little idea how.  and I'll need the how when I move it to more than one machine22:19
shaunoalthough I've been reading the config files it created to fill in the gaps in online docs22:20
diddledanalot of it is database driven afaict22:22
redtapeI'll leaves with a graphic :: http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-raring/  Nite-all !22:22
shaunoit seems most the interfaces are quite unstable.  so, eg, when ubuntu's serverguide tells you to create an admin user with "nova-manage user admin $username", nova-manage complains 'user' isn't a valid option22:26

ali1234BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000003022:29
diddledanfrom my non-expert eye it looks to be related to power management22:30
diddledancaveat: I know nothing of the internals of the kernel, so it's purely a stab in the dark22:31
diddledanalthough, looking some more.. a bug in overlayfs, mayhaps?22:33
diddledan[   21.734982] IP: [<ffffffffa024e289>] ovl_permission+0x59/0x140 [overlayfs]22:33

ali1234i see the bug where the installer hangs if there is already grub on the first partition has not been fixed23:19
diddledan_what should I use instead?23:20
diddledan_openoffice is evil oracle poo now, so I'm sure as funky not gonna use that23:21
shaunoheh, I won't answer that, because I'm a heretic :)23:21
diddledan_you don't?!23:23

AlanBellevening all23:29
diddledan_I really must play c&c4 at some point.. how well does it run under wine, I wonder23:31
diddledan_ok, I've found something I don't know how to fix - my main user on ubuntu on my mac has uid of 501 to match with the uid on my os x partition. uids below 1000 aren't show by default in the login chooser, so I can't select my user account to login23:34
shaunoI do the same, but my answer may be too oldschool for lightdm  (min & max values in /etc/login.defs)23:35
diddledan_oddness.. /etc/lightdm/users.conf says it's uids below 500 that aren't shown, so my uid should be visible23:35
diddledan_ok, lightdm users.conf is overridden by dbus' accountsservice23:41
diddledan_ergh.. setting the option in login.defs does work.. but only after a reboot (or figuring out the order to shut the multitude of dbussy services down and then start them back up again)23:47
shaunoI honestly wasn't expecting that to be honored.  colour me surprised23:48
