redtap|awaypopey, Could we possibly change the topic to discuss the implementation og bug #1 , today , please ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1/comments/183406:50
lubotu3`Ubuntu bug 1 in Ubuntu Malaysia LoCo Team "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress]06:50
redtap|awaymmm, strange, I was told it was fixed ?06:51
=== redtap|away is now known as redtape|renegade
dwatkinsPhones aren't computers.06:53
redtape|renegadetroo.06:53
dwatkinsWell, strictly speaking they are, but they're not the same as a PC.06:54
redtape|renegadeAparently , we are **years** away from being able to dock a phone/mobile with a TV too...06:54
redtape|renegadeMorning, TheOpenSourcerer06:54
dwatkinsI use my phone as a remote control for the TV, I don't want to have to dock it with the telly, that would mean I couldn't use it.06:55
redtape|renegadehow about a remote for yur remote ?06:55
dwatkinsyo dawg06:55
redtape|renegadeI'll never understand Mark's fascination with 'znet' .com at all.06:57
dwatkinszdnet?06:58
redtape|renegadeyeah, did you read my link at 07:50 ?06:59
dwatkinsYes, I'm reading it now.06:59
dwatkinsHence my comment that a phone is not a computer :)06:59
* redtape|renegade secretly thinks mozilla phone will be more of a newb's hacking device ...07:00
dwatkinshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems shows that MS has a desktop penetration of over 80%07:00
redtape|renegade... so he's deluded..    ,then.07:01
dwatkinsno, he's talking about different things at the same time.07:02
redtape|renegadelik a politician talking stat's I guess ...07:02
redtape|renegade**like ..07:02
dwatkinsas the zdnet article states, the more important war is between iOS and Android.07:02
* redtape|renegade notes the heoric *ethical* failure of Windoze phone.07:03
dwatkinsethical?07:03
redtape|renegadeyeah, it's closed07:04
MartijnVdSit kills your family07:04
dwatkinsso is iOS, does that make it bad?07:04
redtape|renegadeyep.07:04
dwatkinsI disagree. It's different, and perhaps not ideal, but I can see there being benefits to a closed platform.07:04
* redtape|renegade treates this youtuber about this , in his closing statements, as gospel , [a.outler] http://youtu.be/_4-Jr_HphWs?t=6m36s07:06
dwatkinsI don't treat the gospel as gospel ;)07:06
diploMorning all07:06
dwatkinsmornin y'all07:07
redtape|renegadeit's is in the 'Open Source' religion, but this is by the by..07:07
dwatkinsLooks like a nice piece of kit.07:08
dwatkinsI like the fact he starts taking out screws after having it switched on for a couple minutes.07:09
redtape|renegadeThe dud's a legend in XDA communities ... what can I say ?07:10
redtape|renegadeHave you seen his ADK video ?07:10
dwatkinsnoes07:10
redtape|renegade**dude's a legend ...07:10
* redtape|renegade scans for video .. and follow up video ..07:10
dwatkinsWhat is ADK in this context?07:11
diploHe posts a fair bit on G+ as well07:11
redtape|renegadehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1PCFE1LlC407:12
dwatkinscheers07:12
redtape|renegade^ .. very telling, and no you cant get one anymore ..07:12
dwatkinsI see your point ("If you can't do with it as you choose, it's not yours") but at the same time, I can see there are security risks to a completely open platform.07:14
dwatkinsPerhaps I'm wrong, but things like app signing require a closed platform as far as I know.07:14
MartijnVdSdwatkins: the OS on a very closed "secure boot" device can have security flaws as well07:14
redtape|renegadeHere's the original, while you attempt yur breakfast , but watch the follow up first .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdglKxxXO8M07:15
dwatkinsyeah, any OS can have flaws, I accept that.07:15
dwatkinsI had breakfast at 6:45, redtape|renegade ;)07:15

dwatkinsWe've been discussing it, redtape|renegade ;)07:48
redtape|renegadeI know, that's what makes it topic-able..07:49
redtape|renegadeI mean, everyone's joining now .. to see wat the last nights news of this is all about .. Why should the podcast get all the fun ..07:50

dwatkinsyeah, although it's a shame he can't break the rules it's fun to see him as not really there08:59
brobostigonvery true.08:59
MartijnVdSI liked the movie, but the not the TV show09:00
MartijnVdStoo soapy09:00
dwatkinsI see what you mean, MartijnVdS - there were aspects of that, but it was just enough sci-fi, and well, Amanda Tapping <3 :D09:01
brobostigonwhich film? there are three if memory serves.09:02
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111282/09:02
dwatkinshehe09:02
brobostigonMartijnVdS: the first one, :)09:02
mungbeanwe need imdbbot09:02
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: the original!09:02
dwatkinsthat's a silly movie poster - they didn't get stargates that big until at least season 9...09:02
brobostigonMartijnVdS: :)09:03
dwatkins...and even then, they were spacegates, not ones you'd land on a planet.09:03

mungbeanthe techie non trekkie09:03
brobostigondwatkins: very true.09:03

diploAnyone here use Redmine with the PPA on 12.04 ?09:04
diplodefault ones on very old in the repos09:04
* awilkins raises hand about Redmine09:04
awilkinsWant my bulletproof Redmine wiki page for installing Redmine on 12.04 ?09:05
awilkinsHave worked a little with Ondrej Sury and his PPA is now more stable and he has an experimental one for breaking packages in09:05
DJonesHeh, don't you love words kids make up https://twitter.com/BBCNewsMagazine/status/340393025664606208 These kids must have seen RMS at some point in their lives09:06
mungbeanis the redmien vulnerable?09:06
awilkinsThat's a nice shot of Emma Watson getting a wand at Disney World :-)09:07
diploawilkins: That's the one I looked at Ondrej's, never tried it before09:07
diploPlease, would be very interested09:08
mungbeani heard about a rails botnet issue09:08
diplomungbean: Dunno, but it's only for internal use anyhoo for us09:08
awilkinsdiplo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5719307/09:09
awilkinsdiplo, Naked Ubuntu Server VM to working Redmine server in 10 mins09:09
brobostigonarghhhh, a dumb fly just tried to share my coffee. :(09:10
diploTop man, thank you09:10
diploWill set up a naked vm now to test :)09:10
awilkinsThe mail watcher plugin is just something we do09:11
awilkinsDon't install it without changing the email addresses or your redmine will start spamming all my managers09:11
awilkins(well, probably not)09:11
diploheh, will read through it carefully :)09:11
diploDo you integrate with ldap at all, not read through it yet09:11
mungbeani use with ldap09:11
awilkinsdiplo, Yup, we're using the LDAP / Active directory integration09:12
diploooh, LDAP is on my list of learning as well, so will be handy.. great thanks09:12
awilkinsAlthough I've been trying to make progress on an OpenID Provider that justs uses NTLM / SSPI so we can just auth *everything* automagically09:12
awilkinsThink we have one in the early alpha stages ; on paper it's not hard, you just need an OpenID provider that trusts Apache auth, and an Apache auth module that does NTLM / SSPI09:13
awilkinsThe main PITA is that the only reliable one we can find is mod_auth_sspi and that only runs on Windows server09:13
awilkinsNot so far managed to set up mod_auth_kerb properly09:14
diplooh, I've not got that far.. basically trying to sort a lot of issues at my work place, including information09:14
diploAll little projects that I hope to integrate together whilst learning09:14
awilkinsThe hardest part is getting buy-in from the people09:14
=== schwuk_away is now known as schwuk
awilkinsNot everyone takes to wiki pages like a duck to water09:15
awilkinsEspecially if you have a lot of SharePoint already09:15
JamesTaitawilkins, amen to that!09:15
awilkinsSharePoint lets them continue to get their digital document crackfix of passing information around as Office docs09:15
diploWe had sharepoint at my last place, I was in charge of it, it sucked and nobody really used it, glad I'm away from it now09:16
awilkinsThe best success I've had is with a team for who I wrote tools - and they write their own manuals as wiki pages, because they can't understand them when I write them :-)09:16
awilkinsOnce they're in the habit, that's it, they still tweak them even though the tools have been stable for years09:16
diploWell our bug tracker is internal atm, and only now works in Firefox as it was written years ago, can't modify stuff with chrome etc as the code is awful09:17
diplotried fixing it but failed so far09:17
awilkinsI find people who roll their own trackers perplexing - we have several of these things09:17
awilkinsI just shake my head and go "But... that's just a bug tracker with <insert  custom workflow here> - why don't you just trash it and replace it with something that has a community..."09:18
awilkinsdiplo, If you have the kind of userbase who loves custom workflows, I have some code for turning Dia diagrams into workflow table rows for Redmine09:19
diploExactly, it's where I'm trying to push us now09:19
diploUmm they don't have any idea of what to do at the moment, very disorganised small company09:19
awilkinsI should upload it the main project but it's 1) Java 2) involves shell script too 3) not polished09:19
awilkinsI suggest you keep it as simple as possible09:20
awilkinsDon't let them get into month long meetings about what workflow is appropriate09:20
diployeah, base install.. play.. see what bosses think09:20
diploAnd then go from there09:20
awilkinsUse what comes in the box and fix it if that doesn't work for you09:20
awilkinsAlso have the "Redmine Backlogs" plugins going if you want to do Scrum / Agile09:20
awilkinsThere's another page for that09:21
diplomini.iso - stuck at checking ubuntu archive :(09:23
diplowonder if nat isn't getting correct details09:23

davmor2_Morning all09:52
=== davmor2_ is now known as davmor2
brobostigoncan someone clarify something, what does it mean when described as, (apache with "Options All") ?09:56
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#options :)09:56
diploAllows things like indexing etc09:56
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: "All" means that all of the listed options are enabled09:56
diploOr follow MartijnVdS link :)09:56
brobostigonMartijnVdS: ok, thank you.09:57
brobostigonMartijnVdS: and this applies to httpd.conf ?09:58
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: it works everywhere, look at the "Context" bit in the box09:58
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess09:58
brobostigonMartijnVdS: ok.09:59
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: it's related to "AllowOverride"09:59
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: if you put "Options None" in httpd.conf, along with "AllowOverride None", you can add it to .htaccess but it won't work09:59
MartijnVdSbut if you said "AllowOverride Options=ExecCGI,Indexes" you can change only those 2 options in the htaccess10:00
brobostigonMartijnVdS: ah, i think i understand,10:00
MartijnVdSapache config is easy, once you learn how to read the docs.. it's just a "trick"10:01
brobostigonyes, i can iamgine, whats the word, cryptic.10:01

diploawilkins: Great, installed and working.. will take a copy of the vm and have a tinker now10:27
diploThanks again10:27
awilkinsdiplo, You're welcome, if you want the redmine_backlogs plugin install as well, let me know10:28
diploWill do, I'll look it up shortly, going to have a good play first10:30
directhexredmine is great-ish10:33
diploYou use it at collab directhex ?10:34
awilkinsCollabNet?10:39
awilkinsDon't CollabNet use their own forge software?10:39
awilkinsThe downside of Redmine for me is that it's written in Ruby10:39
diploCan't remember who directhex works for, no it begins with a C :D10:39
diployeah, same here, not a great fan10:40
mgdmCollabora10:40
diploLooks nice though10:40
diploWas close :)10:40
awilkinsYes, very pretty, lots of good features, active, plugins10:40
awilkinsBut I learned Ruby because we picked it up10:40
awilkinsAnd I think Ruby is horrible10:40
awilkinsIt's sooo not Python10:41
awilkinsPython feels consistent and makes sense (to me)10:41
diploI'm just getting into python in a bigger way, never touched ruby, watched a few vids on it and that's about it10:41
awilkinsRuby seems to be this big conflicting ball of styles and doesn't make intuitive sense10:41
awilkinsLike - all things in Ruby are objects. Even integers.10:41
awilkinsThe id values for integers in Ruby... are not the integers they represent.10:42
awilkins>-<10:42
awilkinsAnd all manner of weird operators and stuff10:42
diploheh, sounds like I'll be having some fun then(not)10:43
awilkinsTo familiarize self, did the "Ruby Koans"10:43
diploBiggest thing for me, is whether I can import data from our current tracker into redmine in some way10:43
awilkinsdiplo, What's current tracker?10:44
awilkinsI have some code that works OK for bugzilla10:44
directhexredmine is fine, but because it's ruby it's hyper-fragile as far as version numbers go (making distro upgrades hell) and you can't export data between redmine installs easily10:44
diploIn house built one awilkins, it's really really really bad :)10:44
awilkinsYeah, that's the other thing I hate about Ruby10:44
awilkinsDebian hates things that have their own package management10:45
awilkinsBut Debian coverage of Ruby packages is really patchy10:45
mgdmThe thing I mostly dislike about ruby is that version 1.9.3pN can have a vastly different set of bugs from 1.9.3pN+110:45
awilkinsMost of the stuff in Ondrej Sury's PPA is ruby packages10:45
directhexawilkins, that's a ruby design issue, and it's intentional10:46
directhexawilkins, ruby is not from a school of thought that says a sysadmin installs a thing and it works for years. it's from the "devops" school of thought there a developer managed to make a thing work on his crufty laptop, so you put the crufty laptop into production10:46
directhexruby was nearly pulled from debian.10:46
mgdmOh, I didn't know that10:47
MartijnVdSbecause of the gem madness?10:47
awilkinsYeah, gem madness is horrid10:47
MartijnVdSit's a bit like egg madness..10:47
MartijnVdS(or CPAN madness)10:47
awilkinsMy redmine_backlogs install procedure involves installing gems.. then manually uninstalling one10:47
directhexlike most half-baked languages, the concept of ABI/API stability doesn't exist, and the upstreams don't care about breaking things10:47
MartijnVdSand s/egg/pypi/10:47
awilkinsAnd then screwing with the Gemfile.lock10:48
directhexit doesn't matter, in theory, because it's okay to have 300 different incompatible versions of the same gem, so each app has the only version it works with installed alongside10:48
directhexdebian angers ruby upstreams with its "one version of the lib, fix your freaking app" attitude10:49
MartijnVdSdirecthex: like bundling the JVM with your java app!10:49
mgdmI had an entertaining dependency graph recently where something depended on v2.1 of a lib, but then something else it depended on depended on v3.0 of a lib, and of course they were incompatible10:49
directhexMartijnVdS, yes. or at least bundling a dozen jars which represent the only tested/working versions of your app's libs10:49
awilkinsI don't mind that too much, but in practise the app maintainers don't have a conservative attitude to version numbers10:49
awilkinse.g. redmine_backlogs doesn't say "we've only tested up to this version of rake, so we'll stick with versions we've tested"10:50
awilkinsIt says "want rake". Rake 1.5.2 breaks it.10:50
awilkinsWell, breaks something10:50
directhex1.5.1 is fine?10:50
awilkinsNot sure.10:50
awilkinsHad rake from Ondrej's packages already10:51
directhexminor version numbers should never break anything10:51
awilkinsSo just uninstalled the one that gem installas10:51
awilkinsEverything works fine, you just have to tinker with the bundle manifest it builds so it's not convinced it should still have rake 1.5.210:51
awilkinsWhich is Evil and Wrong but practical10:51
diploheh, you guys are talking me out of using this :D10:53
awilkinsThat's for a non-packaged plugin10:53
awilkinsINstalled by checking out a git tree10:53
awilkinsOnly a problem if you sign up for it10:54
diploSo stay clean install as much as possible and it should just work ?10:54
awilkinsWell, as you get from my install procedure, it's not just "apt-get install" and go, but the current PPA is pretty stable10:55
awilkinsAnd I always test new things in a VM10:56
awilkinsSnapshot the live DB to it and make sure there are no wrinkles at least twice10:56
awilkinsWrite a wiki page as I go10:56
BigRedSdirecthex: that doesn't hold in the land of the ruby11:08
directhexBigRedS, i know. 1.9 -> 1.9.1 was a huge jump which broke the world11:09
MartijnVdSyay minor version bumps11:12
bigcalmI think somebody missed the point of minor version numbers11:13
MartijnVdSbigcalm: the point of a point release!11:14

MartijnVdSOh no!11:23
MartijnVdSYou can't see this content.11:23
awilkinsPoxy geographic location sillyness11:33
awilkinsDoes content cost more when you share it around? No. Imagine if America had a federal TV agency like the BBC...11:34
awilkinsGiven they have 6 times the population11:34
awilkinsThat would be 6 times as much awesome content ...11:34
awilkins(and 6 times as much reality TV rubbish, but hey)11:35
directhexthey already have amazing shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo11:35
directhexand we have BAFTA-award winning shows from private companies here, like Made In Chelsea!11:36
directhex(kill me now)11:36
awilkinsThe commercial broadcasters have to raise their game in the UK because of the BBC though11:37
awilkinsIf you got rid of it, EVERYTHING would be Honey Boo Boo11:37
awilkinsI've seen American TV. It's a scary place.11:37
awilkinsAlthough I like the whole IP broadcasters making their own content trend11:37
awilkinsNot sure about Arrested Development but I liked their take on House of Cards. Wish they would show the other 2 series of the UK one though.11:38

dwatkinsSo you want us to call up Curry's for £1 a minute to tell them that they don't know what something is that they don't know about, redtape|renegade?15:14

redtape|renegadedwatkins: I've already done it .. They haven't a clue what Ubuntu is ..15:15
dwatkinsredtape|renegade: and this surprises you why? ;)15:15
* redtape|renegade does his daily email check to see what can be bought ethically running 'Ubuntu' on the net ..15:16
DJonesThe best publicity is word of mouth, Ubuntu and Linux generally have great support networks and word of mouth does work, retail stores are there to make a profit, so for them, any Linux derivative doesn't make sense15:16
dwatkinsalso, they probably get kickbacks for selling Windows15:16
redtape|renegadedwatkins: Because the bug says that you can buy it in a local shop .. or at least that's how I read it ...15:16

tripleclones13.04 on Lenovo X60 with intel 94516:05
tripleclonesonly thing I have found is a kernel 3.9 but isn't from ubuntu repo so don't really want to go with it yet16:06
popeyit's fixed in 3.9?16:07
tripleclonesassuming so reading this16:08

popeyoof, i wouldn't install a kernel from that site either16:08
tripleclonesthats what I was thinking16:09
popeyhttp://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-raring/ however is safe16:09
popeymaintained by the kernel team16:09
tripleclonesbrilliant thank you - I'll try it :)16:09
popeyworth a punt to see if that fixes it, if it does then I'd file a bug against the kernel with "ubuntu-bug linux" and then let them know which kernel works and which doesn't16:09
popeyand then you can figure out which commit actually broke it16:09
popeyand they may be able to backport a fix to 3.816:09
shaunowow, those askubuntu answers are all kinds of scary.  "here, grab a kernel from someone's dropbox" is nope.jpg16:10

JezUbuntu does not seem to shut down or restart on my system (Acer TravelMate 5520).  No splash screen or anything, just goes to the boot screen and then sits there ticking away forever.22:12

Jez To my knowledge, it shut down from there once, while I'd wandered off for a quarter hour.22:14
