| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 09:09 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone, | 09:21 |
| MartijnVdS | \o brobostigon | 09:55 |
| brobostigon | morning MartijnVdS | 09:56 |
| SuperEngineer | boo! | 10:01 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 10:08 |
| SuperEngineer | o/ MartijnVdS | 10:09 |
| SuperEngineer | damn! 2nd time today Compiz crashed [both times when dash is open & tying the same thing!] | 10:13 |
| SuperEngineer | bbs - gonna try a reboot | 10:13 |
| SuperEngineer | hmmm... & now I can't make Compiz crash even replicating the same way it crashed twice earlier - me confused | 10:31 |
| MartijnVdS | SuperEngineer: it learned | 10:31 |
| Laney | it's just a genetic algorithm now | 10:31 |
| MartijnVdS | next thing you know it'll be smarter than you | 10:31 |
| Laney | seeded with the old compiz | 10:31 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b02xcvhw CATS! | 10:32 |
| SuperEngineer | MartijnVdS: I think it's lurking... and learning... and plotting... and planning it's next move | 10:32 |
| * SuperEngineer is not paranoid :D | 10:33 | |
| MartijnVdS | SuperEngineer: good thing the NSA is keeping a close eye on it | 10:33 |
| SuperEngineer | MartijnVdS: :D | 10:33 |
| SuperEngineer | #Prism | 10:33 |
| SuperEngineer | that'll confuse 'em | 10:34 |
| MartijnVdS | watchlist.add('SuperEngineer') | 10:34 |
| SuperEngineer | just seen a headline pre-release from tomorrow's Guardian: "Compiz found to plant by NSA | 10:34 |
| SuperEngineer | *to be | 10:35 |
| MartijnVdS | +" | 10:35 |
| MartijnVdS | can't just leave your quotes unclosed | 10:35 |
| MartijnVdS | that confuses the algorithms | 10:35 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) "" | 10:35 |
| MartijnVdS | anyway.. cats, thursday, BBC2 | 10:36 |
| Laney | "Canonical participating in PRISM program through shopping lens" | 10:45 |
| MartijnVdS | Laney: Unity "lenses", PRISM | 10:45 |
| MartijnVdS | Laney: I see a link there | 10:45 |
| SuperEngineer | Laney: for 1 sec I thought that read "Canonical participating in PRISM program through snooping lens" | 10:46 |
| MartijnVdS | SuperEngineer: the letters are, like, right next to each other! Easy typo to make | 10:46 |
| Laney | dun dun DUN | 10:46 |
| SuperEngineer | NSA & GQHQ watching me... me watching British Touring Car Champions. I win. | 10:48 |
| MartijnVdS | SuperEngineer: F1 tonight! | 10:49 |
| SuperEngineer | MartijnVdS: TV already set to switch at right time | 10:49 |
| SuperEngineer | question: having recently had the chance [a.k.a. been forced to] prove my baackup/restore regime | 11:05 |
| SuperEngineer | ...is there anything I am missing by backing upo a) whole of /home & b) whole of /etc ? | 11:05 |
| SuperEngineer | should I be including something I have not thought of? | 11:06 |
| Myrtti | HP Proliant microserver is on sale on ebuyer | 11:59 |
| czajkows1i | Myrtti: oh? | 12:05 |
| czajkows1i | Myrtti: got a link handy I know someone was looking for on yesterday | 12:05 |
| Myrtti | http://www.ebuyer.com/430446-proliant-microserver-turion-2-2-2gb-250gb-nhpl-sata-lff-in-704941-421 apparently there is an email saying it would be 99 after cashback instead of 109.99 | 12:06 |
| czajkows1i | Myrtti: cheers | 12:07 |
| dsample | popey, how's your hp microserver doing? I'm thinking of getting one that's on offer on ebuyer | 13:08 |
| * penguin42 knows a lot of people who like them | 13:18 | |
| penguin42 | dsample: Be careful of one thing; if you try to unplug the SATA/SAS cable for the main board don't force it | 13:18 |
| penguin42 | a friend managed to remove the connector from the board | 13:19 |
| dsample | nice | 13:20 |
| dsample | What's the power usage on these microservers? It says there's a 150W PSU, but wondering what it's like when it's idling | 13:47 |
| mungbean_ | depends how many disks u got in there spinning away | 14:18 |
| bigcalm | Afternoon peeps :) | 15:10 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 15:10 |
| SuperEngineer | 'noony bigcalm | 15:11 |
| MartijnVdS | hmm | 15:12 |
| bigcalm | What's happening kids? | 15:13 |
| MartijnVdS | Lazy sunday afternoon things ;) | 15:13 |
| SuperEngineer | beer, bath, best chillout music playing [whilst watching BTCC with sound off] ;) | 15:14 |
| SuperEngineer | ...and sun is at last shining through clouds | 15:15 |
| mungbean_ | SuperEngineer: backup ur packages list | 15:21 |
| SuperEngineer | mungbean_: cheers | 15:25 |
| SuperEngineer | mungbean_: thought... would it still work as I routinely do an apt clean up? | 15:29 |
| SuperEngineer | just the list would be fine tho | 15:30 |
| mungbean_ | theres a way to save in a way to actually reinstall them all | 15:33 |
| SuperEngineer | oooo | 15:34 |
| jacobw | Afternooning, Ubunteros | 15:37 |
| mungbean_ | howdy | 15:46 |
| SuperEngineer | mungbean_: thanks a mil - just sorted that out as well | 15:56 |
| mungbean_ | can u remind me how? | 15:57 |
| mungbean_ | :P | 15:57 |
| SuperEngineer | mungbean_: list created by: dpkg --get-selections > installed-packages & using dselect | 16:00 |
| SuperEngineer | :p | 16:00 |
| SuperEngineer | e.g. sudo dpkg --set-selections < installed-packages to retrieve | 16:01 |
| SuperEngineer | [I even put the instructions in # lines in the list file] ;) | 16:02 |
| SuperEngineer | I assume that be what ye had mind melad [keel haul him boson!] | 16:03 |
| mungbean_ | that works, but i think theres another way so that dependencies are retrieved to | 16:04 |
| SuperEngineer | hmmm | 16:04 |
| SuperEngineer | not found that method | 16:04 |
| mungbean_ | exercise fot the reader::P was mentioned on uupc once | 16:05 |
| mungbean_ | trying to find snippets of time to work on my latest plane but child rearing is in the way http://i.imgur.com/SXmm9ld.jpg | 16:06 |
| penguin42 | hmm the docs for the Damage extension seem a bit grim | 16:26 |
| daftykins | Damage extension? | 16:27 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Yeh it's a way of asking the X server to tell you about changes to areas of a window that need redrawing and not just your window | 16:27 |
| daftykins | ah | 16:28 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Things like vnc and the like can monitor for changes to the screen with it | 16:28 |
| daftykins | sounds like dirty regions in xbmc | 16:28 |
| penguin42 | xbmc? | 16:29 |
| daftykins | media centre software, just a term they use | 16:30 |
| SuperEngineer | F1 race coverage on Beeb 1 in 45mins | 16:30 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Ah, yeh I think it's pretty consistent | 16:30 |
| penguin42 | hmm ok, that seems to be working | 16:32 |
| SuperEngineer | bbs - switching to 3G - BT just went on a go slow | 16:35 |
| penguin42 | slower than 3G? | 16:35 |
| daftykins | hehe | 16:35 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: yup! I'm on the limit of reception from the BT kit ['borrow' my conxnx' from owner in return for fixing er resident's pooter probs] | 16:37 |
| daftykins | ouch | 16:37 |
| SuperEngineer | ..alll it takes is 1 of ownersa family to park themselves in nearby room... connxn nearly dies | 16:39 |
| daftykins | not considered running a closer WAP? | 16:39 |
| penguin42 | oh I see wifi | 16:39 |
| SuperEngineer | ..but it's free & good much of the time [=cheap] ;) | 16:40 |
| === czajkows1i is now known as czajkowski | ||
| SuperEngineer | daftykins: I already pay £16 for a 3G dongle with best deal ever found [took some "suggestions from me to get it from "3"] | 16:41 |
| SuperEngineer | ... I get 15GB/month allowance - jealous now? | 16:42 |
| penguin42 | what speed do you get out of it? | 16:43 |
| SuperEngineer | so I now get a travelling 3G & backup for when someone blocks the conxn | 16:43 |
| daftykins | i'll never be jealous of a high-latency low-throughput connection :) | 16:43 |
| penguin42 | it's better than a pidgeon | 16:44 |
| SuperEngineer | the 3G?... aprox 200mb | 16:44 |
| SuperEngineer | most toimes 3oo | 16:44 |
| penguin42 | liveable I guess | 16:44 |
| SuperEngineer | #*times | 16:44 |
| SuperEngineer | yup | 16:47 |
| SuperEngineer | & free | 16:47 |
| SuperEngineer | ...broadband normally.. then 3g as backup | 16:47 |
| SuperEngineer | & to prove a point [ouch] one of family just pulled in for overnight stay.. BT temp disconnect! | 16:47 |
| SuperEngineer | me go down now - me switch to £G ready for F1 | 16:47 |
| penguin42 | you need a wifi repeater at a convenient point | 16:47 |
| SuperEngineer | bbs | 16:47 |
| daftykins | heh | 16:48 |
| daftykins | what curious english | 16:48 |
| daftykins | i turned off the router functions of an old Netgear router for a friend, crimped a cat5e cable to and from his main router to turn it into a WAP | 16:49 |
| daftykins | he messaged today saying that downloading openoffice was capped at 100KB/sec download 0o | 16:49 |
| daftykins | sounded a bit suspect | 16:49 |
| MartijnVdS | daftykins: did that fix it? | 16:50 |
| daftykins | ah nah this speed thing is a new 'issue' over this WAP i put in | 16:51 |
| popey | dsample: still running fine. had one have a psu fail, current one is running well 24x7 | 16:51 |
| daftykins | his bedroom is surrounded by granite so he needed something separate to the houses' main router to get a signal | 16:52 |
| popey | it's my backup machine, doing rsnapshots of everything every 6 hours, it struggles to keep up with the amount of io i am demanding | 16:52 |
| daftykins | the speed issue seems really weird though | 16:52 |
| popey | but thats to be expected it's an old celeron-class cpu at 1.3ghz | 16:52 |
| popey | i upped to 8GB RAM, I am told it may be able to take 16GB, but not sure, as mine is an old N36L, the references I have seen talk about the N40L | 16:53 |
| popey | I expect the newer N54L?? may be faster, but dunno by how much, might be worth finding someone to run geekbench on it, and I'll run it on mine to compare | 16:53 |
| jacobw | daftykins: Can you grab a file from the main router's network at >100Kbit/s? | 16:57 |
| * popey hugs his ac100 and knowing the in-laws wifi password by heart | 16:58 | |
| daftykins | jacobw: that was my first query to my friend, but he's got a crazy samsung ultraportable that requires a micro-ethernet jack converter cable in addition to him not having any other wired devices to confirm throughput | 16:58 |
| jacobw | All IP devices should ship with iperf to make this kind of thing easy. | 17:00 |
| daftykins | hehe | 17:01 |
| SuperEngineer | 15 mins to F1 time folks | 17:01 |
| Laney | zzzzzzz | 17:01 |
| popey | well, 60 mins ☻ | 17:02 |
| daftykins | 'vroom' there you go, whole experience wrapped up into one word | 17:02 |
| SuperEngineer | popey: yup, but some [me] luv the preamble coverage as well :) | 17:03 |
| popey | meh, f1 hasn't been exciting for many years | 17:03 |
| jacobw | Not since Schumacher broke his legs? | 17:03 |
| SuperEngineer | popey: you ever been at an F1 race? | 17:03 |
| popey | nope | 17:04 |
| SuperEngineer | an experience indeed | 17:04 |
| popey | i can imagine | 17:05 |
| popey | seeing cars whizz by | 17:05 |
| popey | and not being able to actually see the race | 17:05 |
| daftykins | on big screens 'cause you're in the safe part, far away from the track | 17:05 |
| daftykins | ;D | 17:05 |
| jacobw | I think there's more to atmosphere that that :) | 17:05 |
| SuperEngineer | [especially if you win a competition and get VIP to British race - including the helicopter ride in & out!] | 17:05 |
| popey | i have relatives who go every year | 17:05 |
| popey | i'm sure its great fun for some | 17:05 |
| SuperEngineer | ah, let me know if fancy some company - though they have to provide the entrance fee ;) | 17:06 |
| daftykins | i just about cope with the excitement of occasionally seeing the hill climb event on bank holidays over here | 17:06 |
| SuperEngineer | daftykins: I'm also ucky on that one - Prestury Hill climb not far from me | 17:07 |
| * SuperEngineer counts his blessings | 17:08 | |
| SuperEngineer | [on my planet, we don't use petrol - so I find vrooom races more exciting than perhaps I should] | 17:10 |
| daftykins | i see | 17:10 |
| SuperEngineer | [that last should confuse the NSA] | 17:10 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) | 17:10 |
| daftykins | i wouldn't use that talk too often, the channel already has its' quota of nutters :> | 17:10 |
| daftykins | *cough* redtape | 17:11 |
| * SuperEngineer is proud to be counted amongst the brave few] | 17:11 | |
| SuperEngineer | ...nutters of course | 17:11 |
| SuperEngineer | daftykins: +1 | 17:12 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 17:12 |
| SuperEngineer | but please - don't put me in the list as redt... | 17:12 |
| SuperEngineer | the 1 you mention is on my ignore list - in the various names used | 17:13 |
| daftykins | hahaha | 17:14 |
| * SuperEngineer is proud to be a nutter - but that doesn't mean he's proud to be an annoyance | 17:14 | |
| SuperEngineer | F1 time folks - & yes the preamble is also fun for me as well ;) | 17:17 |
| dsample | popey, thanks. I ordered it (N54L) earlier, should arrive on Thursday. | 17:33 |
| popey | cool | 17:33 |
| popey | be interested to know what the performance diff is | 17:34 |
| dsample | it's an AMD dual-core 2.2GHz, so not amazingly fast, but should be good enough for serving media and doing backups, etc. | 17:34 |
| dsample | I might set it up as a VM box so I can use it for multiple things, but I don't want to bog it down too much | 17:35 |
| daftykins | those systems are so popular, but aren't they pretty limited on SATA ports / actual 3.5" HDD mounting room? | 17:36 |
| popey | gosh, thats quite a difference from my 1.3GHz | 17:36 |
| popey | daftykins: yes, it's got 4 bays, plus optical bay internally so "only" 5 bays internal | 17:37 |
| popey | i have all occupied, plus an external 8-way device so i have 13 disks in mine | 17:37 |
| daftykins | some kinda backplane? | 17:37 |
| dsample | daftykins, they can hold 4 drives, but I already have another SATA 4-disk box to extend it with | 17:37 |
| daftykins | i've just got a personal file server in a Coolermaster Stacker case | 17:38 |
| dsample | from looking at the back it has an eSATA connection | 17:38 |
| daftykins | current RAID 5 volume is only 6 disk | 17:38 |
| daftykins | and is practically full :( | 17:38 |
| daftykins | 277GB free | 17:38 |
| popey | it has one esata connection but it can only address one device | 17:39 |
| popey | (on mine, dunno about your model dsample) | 17:39 |
| dsample | huh, what do you mean can only address one device? | 17:39 |
| dsample | you mean it's serial IO? | 17:39 |
| daftykins | one device per channel as per SATA rules | 17:39 |
| popey | so i added a pci-express dual e-sata card (which came with the 8-way external array) which supports port multiplexed e-sata | 17:39 |
| dsample | ah ok. Well my Belkin box should could as one device | 17:40 |
| popey | it can't do pm | 17:40 |
| daftykins | i'd probably just get a nice Synology/QNAP device these days | 17:41 |
| daftykins | although i like having a full OS on a file server, i run VMs and other services with mine | 17:41 |
| popey | yeah, i wanted something i could run various linux stuff on | 17:41 |
| popey | yeah, i am using lxc to create lots of separate containers for apps | 17:41 |
| popey | really enjoying using btrfs on it too | 17:42 |
| daftykins | do you have to mess around making a lot of paths available with lxc, sort of like how chroot environments act? | 17:42 |
| dsample | I thought about a dedicated NAS box a while ago, but I want more functionality like DLNA video | 17:42 |
| popey | no | 17:42 |
| dsample | plus it will probably form the hub of a home automation system/monitoring system if we can get around to setting it up properly | 17:43 |
| popey | yeah, i lobbed a dnla server on it to serve up "content" and threw my music collection at it | 17:43 |
| popey | yeah, mine is running http://popey.com/house | 17:43 |
| popey | i put the toaster on at 18:26 and 18:30 as you can see from that graph ㋛ | 17:44 |
| daftykins | XD | 17:44 |
| daftykins | crikey your home temp is over 20 pretty consistently | 17:44 |
| daftykins | heating not on surely? | 17:45 |
| popey | it's in the room with the boiler, fridge, and server & array | 17:45 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Yeh I remember commenting on that last time he showed that | 17:45 |
| popey | so it's not accurate | 17:45 |
| daftykins | hehe | 17:45 |
| daftykins | i'd definitely be interesting in wiring up my boiler to the network for remote control | 17:46 |
| daftykins | currently i have to open the back door, step outside and open a second outside door and manually turn my heating off and on | 17:46 |
| daftykins | not used it in months now though \o/ | 17:46 |
| shauno | I'd love to hook me furnace up to the network, but I haven't quite decided how to do it cleanly, since I'm renting | 17:47 |
| daftykins | ah-har | 17:48 |
| dsample | You should have a look at Cubism graphs, you could put all of your graphs on a fraction of the screen space | 17:51 |
| dwatkins | I've been considering settup up an Adruino as a central heating controller | 18:19 |
| daftykins | if you kept the design open that'd be neat | 18:20 |
| dwatkins | yeah, I'd happily publish specs - I want to make a controller with an LCD, possibly also network control, although that's not absolutely necessary. | 18:21 |
| dwatkins | I imagine this page would be useful: http://www.jellard.co.uk/2009/11/home-easy-central-heating-control-hack/ | 18:21 |
| daftykins | neat | 18:23 |
| dwatkins | I essentially need to control a single relay, assuming the thermostat is already set at my preferred value. | 18:23 |
| dwatkins | #include <standard.mains.electricity.warning.txt> | 18:24 |
| diplo_ | Evening all | 18:58 |
| jacobw | Hello diplo_ | 19:01 |
| === diplo_ is now known as diplo | ||
| ^aDaM | Man this Ubuntu 13.04 feels so smooth! | 19:15 |
| ^aDaM | Love the menus, and how easy it is to use! and if you want to use a Terminal or anything more techy then you can still do so! :-) | 19:15 |
| ^aDaM | Thanks for such a great distro #ubuntu-uk | 19:15 |
| ^aDaM | <-- Happy user. | 19:16 |
| popey | hah ☻ | 19:17 |
| popey | good to hear! | 19:17 |
| ^aDaM | ;) | 19:17 |
| ^aDaM | Well it had to come from someone. | 19:17 |
| ^aDaM | Im open about it :D | 19:17 |
| ^aDaM | It is OpenSource! | 19:17 |
| ^aDaM | :P | 19:17 |
| ^aDaM | Currently installed Steam love how easy it is no Wine needed. | 19:18 |
| popey | yeah, i have loads of games in steam now | 19:19 |
| daftykins | has anyone run one of the Steam free-over-the-weeekend type games long enough to see if it boots you out come the deadline? | 19:20 |
| daftykins | -e | 19:20 |
| ^aDaM | popey, well I have a fair few not many I have someone on my Steam called Liem now he has 776 Games last time I checked and hes just got a few new ones recently lol. | 19:20 |
| ^aDaM | daftykins, yeah I tryed that Heros one.. something heros ;/ | 19:21 |
| ^aDaM | On windows that never booted when I clicked it lol. | 19:21 |
| daftykins | Company of? | 19:21 |
| ^aDaM | Well I have to say that Steam looks so much better GFX wise! | 19:21 |
| ^aDaM | yes daftykins | 19:21 |
| ^aDaM | You have problems? | 19:21 |
| ^aDaM | I did. | 19:21 |
| ^aDaM | An that was on Windows! | 19:21 |
| daftykins | i've never touched it | 19:21 |
| ^aDaM | Ah :) | 19:21 |
| ^aDaM | I tried Saints Row was good. | 19:22 |
| ^aDaM | Removed now :) | 19:22 |
| daftykins | well, Steam is truly cross-platform, it gives every OS user hassle | 19:22 |
| ^aDaM | Ouch.. | 19:22 |
| ^aDaM | 08 here. | 19:22 |
| daftykins | yeah see i'm wondering what happens if i play it up until 9pm when it ends | 19:22 |
| ^aDaM | add me rtype2122 | 19:22 |
| ^aDaM | hhaa yeah :) | 19:22 |
| daftykins | 08? | 19:22 |
| ^aDaM | 2008? | 19:23 |
| ^aDaM | the year you unlocked steam :o | 19:23 |
| ^aDaM | member since :) | 19:23 |
| ^aDaM | mmm daftykins I have Doom 3 BFG an other games like Quake 1 etc... there not on my Steam? | 19:24 |
| ^aDaM | is that due to the fact they do not work on Ubuntu lol | 19:24 |
| daftykins | oh i see, well i remember fiddling with Half-Life related stuff since the days of having to get the frequent huge patches over 56k | 19:24 |
| ^aDaM | ah yes Linux Games Installed damnn :o | 19:24 |
| daftykins | and when Steam first got released, so whenever that was :) | 19:25 |
| ^aDaM | lol daftykins :o | 19:25 |
| ^aDaM | late 90s ? | 19:25 |
| daftykins | ^aDaM: yeah the whole catalogue hasn't been converted yet | 19:25 |
| ^aDaM | 1999 or 2000 surly. | 19:25 |
| daftykins | yep | 19:25 |
| daftykins | 'ported' rather, so not all games will be available | 19:25 |
| ^aDaM | ah cool, so it will one day then | 19:25 |
| ^aDaM | ah ok ok I need to install Doom 3 and Quake 4 | 19:25 |
| daftykins | well maybe, for things as old as Quake there are ways on Linux anyway | 19:25 |
| ^aDaM | yeah I thought so | 19:26 |
| ^aDaM | I remember CS something on here helping me. | 19:26 |
| ^aDaM | I forgot his name he was awesome guy! | 19:26 |
| ^aDaM | used to access my PC lol but I trusted him... | 19:26 |
| popey | its highly unlikely old games will be ported | 19:26 |
| ^aDaM | on Steam they will surly :o | 19:26 |
| popey | there's not enough revenue to be generated to cover the cost of porting | 19:26 |
| ^aDaM | popey, ah ok ok. | 19:26 |
| ^aDaM | popey, how would I go about installing Doom 3? | 19:27 |

| ^aDaM | I would need to patch it also mmm | 19:27 |
| daftykins | or sometimes the tools are on the disc | 19:27 |
| ^aDaM | daftykins, ah ok ok. | 19:27 |

| mungbean | typing 1 handed as uual | 19:51 |
| ^aDaM | mmm I have made the mkdir daftykins for quake4 | 19:51 |
| ^aDaM | its in home/user/quake4/q4base | 19:51 |
| ^aDaM | Now I am trying this "cp -v <Quake4 disk mount point>/Setup/Data/q4base/*.pk4 <install path>/quake4/q4base" | 19:51 |
| ^aDaM | I did mount and I get "/dev/sr0 on /media/god/QUAKE4" | 19:52 |
| penguin42 | I've been playing with X on a Nook; it's an interesting way of learning why old school window managers based on small controls on the edges of windows don't work on touchscreens | 19:52 |
| ^aDaM | I am confused I am trying to get contents to install , but its not working :/ | 19:52 |

| mungbean | saw ubuntu on click yesterday | 20:00 |
| mungbean | it was accidental, they tend to avoid real tech :) | 20:00 |
| ^aDaM | Anyone know how I copy all files from my Quake 4 disc to dir? | 20:02 |
| ^aDaM | Im confused :( | 20:02 |
| daftykins | ^aDaM: browse manually into /media/god/QUAKE4/Setup/Data/q4base | 20:02 |
| daftykins | and 'cp *.pk4 ~/quake4/q4base/' | 20:02 |
| daftykins | assuming you created that home path | 20:03 |
| ^aDaM | daftykins, how do you know my user is god ? :P | 20:04 |
| ^aDaM | lol | 20:04 |
| ^aDaM | ohh I typed it duh me! | 20:04 |
| daftykins | because you typed it ;) | 20:04 |
| ^aDaM | lol | 20:05 |
| mungbean | NSA told him | 20:05 |
| ^aDaM | So copy all files into the folder daftykins ? then try 'cp *.pk4 ~/quake4/q4base/' | 20:07 |
| daftykins | that command is to copy the files :) | 20:08 |
| ^aDaM | dam | 20:09 |
| ^aDaM | I just dragged them into quake4/q4base :o | 20:09 |
| daftykins | that'll work | 20:09 |
| ^aDaM | in my /home/folder :D | 20:09 |
| ^aDaM | ah good :D | 20:09 |
| ^aDaM | then run the game ? :/ | 20:09 |
| daftykins | not quite | 20:09 |
| daftykins | were you following a guide before? | 20:10 |
| ^aDaM | how does the terminal know where its looking for the game when doing './quake4' | 20:10 |
| daftykins | ah yeah *opens link* | 20:10 |
| ^aDaM | yeah that one :) | 20:10 |
| daftykins | ./ is always the current path | 20:10 |
| daftykins | . = folder you're in | 20:10 |
| ^aDaM | Ah right I see | 20:10 |
| daftykins | ^aDaM: so you downloaded the linux binary at the top of the ubuntu guide? | 20:11 |
| ^aDaM | daftykins, Yeah :D | 20:12 |
| ^aDaM | I have that saved. | 20:12 |
| daftykins | and it's in ~ ? | 20:12 |
| daftykins | are all those .pk4 files in ~/quake4/q4base/ ? | 20:13 |
| ^aDaM | That's in desktop :) | 20:13 |
| ^aDaM | and not as yet still copying daftykins :) | 20:13 |
| daftykins | so ~/Desktop/quake4/q4base/ ? | 20:13 |
| daftykins | you'd just need to move the ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake4/linux/quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run download into /quake4/ | 20:14 |
| ^aDaM | quake4 is saved to /home/god/quake4 | 20:14 |
| ^aDaM | ah ok daftykins :) | 20:14 |
| daftykins | right click on it, go to properties, make it executable | 20:14 |
| ^aDaM | Just copy? | 20:15 |
| ^aDaM | ah nice. | 20:15 |
| daftykins | or with the terminal it's "chmod +x quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run" as the guide says | 20:15 |
| ^aDaM | Ah yes :) | 20:15 |
| ^aDaM | Thats kinda cool . | 20:16 |
| ^aDaM | I have forgot all this since the first releases of Ubuntu daftykins I used to be so good on here. | 20:16 |
| ^aDaM | Been a while, you meet a women have babys an thats it :D | 20:16 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 20:16 |
| ^aDaM | Bye bye linuxxx | 20:16 |
| ^aDaM | :p | 20:16 |
| ^aDaM | Bye car.. | 20:17 |
| ^aDaM | pride an joy :( | 20:17 |
| daftykins | cars are mere tools ;) | 20:17 |
| ^aDaM | aye lol | 20:17 |
| daftykins | clearly a statement that doesn't apply to computers... *whistle* | 20:17 |
| ^aDaM | I had a V6 4motion Bora. | 20:17 |
| ^aDaM | :/ | 20:17 |
| ^aDaM | was 2.8 | 20:17 |
| ^aDaM | :D | 20:17 |
| ^aDaM | hahah yeah "Electric" | 20:17 |
| ^aDaM | bahh! | 20:17 |
| ^aDaM | daftykins, I have all *pk4's in /home/god/quake4/q4base then I have that quake3-linux.1.4.2.x86.run download in to /quake4/ | 20:20 |
| ^aDaM | How do I run quake4? './quake4' ? | 20:20 |
| daftykins | you need to run that .run file first | 20:21 |
| ^aDaM | Ah yes. | 20:21 |
| ^aDaM | Double click? | 20:21 |
| daftykins | so if you have a terminal open inside that folder | 20:21 |
| daftykins | and you've made it executable, either with chmod +x or the graphical properties method | 20:21 |
| daftykins | run it with "./blah.run" | 20:21 |
| daftykins | and it should do stuff(TM) | 20:22 |
| ^aDaM | :D ok! | 20:22 |
| ^aDaM | here goes.. | 20:22 |
| ^aDaM | Whats '*' ? is that like global : | 20:22 |
| ^aDaM | :/ | 20:22 |
| daftykins | hmm? when did an asterisk show up? | 20:23 |
| daftykins | oh in the copy command? asterisk is a wildcard meaning <anything> yeah | 20:23 |
| ^aDaM | No such file dir in console when I do that :/ | 20:23 |
| ^aDaM | mmmm odd. | 20:24 |
| daftykins | type 'pwd' | 20:24 |
| ^aDaM | :o | 20:24 |
| daftykins | does it tell you you're in /home/god/quake4/ ? | 20:24 |
| ^aDaM | says im in /home/god/ | 20:24 |
| daftykins | ok 'cd quake4' | 20:24 |
| daftykins | then "./quake3-linux.1.4.2.x86.run" | 20:24 |
| ^aDaM | nope :(( | 20:24 |
| ^aDaM | damn. | 20:24 |

| daftykins | change directory | 20:25 |
| ^aDaM | yeah need it to be home/god/quake4/ | 20:26 |
| daftykins | you should be in ~/quake4 now, which is /home/god/quake4/ | 20:26 |
| daftykins | ~ = /home/<current-user>/ | 20:26 |
| ^aDaM | yeah im in | 20:26 |
| ^aDaM | but when I do that run :( | 20:26 |
| daftykins | if you type "./q" then hit tab does it resolve the full file name? | 20:26 |
| ^aDaM | ahh works | 20:26 |
| ^aDaM | with out * | 20:27 |
| ^aDaM | Quake 4 TM | 20:27 |

| ^aDaM | Need to change the res the same as my desktop here. | 20:53 |

| ^aDaM | Seriously! | 20:55 |
| ^aDaM | Well I found that there is a autoexec.cfg daftykins in quake4/q4base/lol/rofl its just one command that says: seta sys_lang "spanish" | 20:56 |
| ^aDaM | I have removed all other lang.pk4's and kept english :D | 20:56 |

| ^aDaM | and my res is huge! | 21:11 |
| ^aDaM | Would this be due to graphics drivers? would I need to install them :/ I know in the older versions of Ubuntu you had to install them but I did updates on installation when I installed Ubuntu 13.04 | 21:12 |
| daftykins | you most likely want the proprietary driver for your card, if you have a proper graphics card yeah | 21:12 |
| ^aDaM | daftykins, yeah it's a 8800GT nvidia. | 21:13 |
| daftykins | ah old school | 21:13 |
| ^aDaM | ehehe everyone says that! | 21:13 |
| ^aDaM | I am going for a new rig soon :) | 21:14 |

| ^aDaM | Thinking windows 8 and buntu :D dual boot on new rig. | 21:14 |
| daftykins | although it died a few years ago so i upgraded | 21:14 |
| ^aDaM | ouch sorry to hear that | 21:14 |
| daftykins | did you install ubuntu 13.04 ? | 21:14 |
| ^aDaM | I got mine for my birthday in 2007 | 21:14 |
| ^aDaM | an still going :) | 21:14 |
| ^aDaM | yes I did install 13.04 | 21:14 |
| daftykins | so if you click that dash icon on the top left of the sidebar | 21:15 |
| daftykins | then type 'additional drivers' and run it | 21:15 |
| daftykins | hopefully that will offer you the nvidia driver download | 21:16 |
| ^aDaM | ah Ubuntu software Centre. | 21:16 |
| daftykins | yip last tab in there i think | 21:17 |
| ^aDaM | My icons are different lol | 21:18 |
| ^aDaM | Irish back-to-front :o | 21:18 |
| ^aDaM | If I was to install Doom 3 daftykins would it be the same method ? | 21:19 |
| daftykins | probably similar, i'm sure there will be a guide online too | 21:20 |
| ^aDaM | Yeah Im sure I seen one once but I can't find it lol | 21:21 |
