[04:18] Allo .. [04:20] Sorry for those that felt like running away yesterday .. http://bit.ly/11rWyfP | To day ... I'll shut up for once & just check the logs at the E.O.D. [04:20] leaves [09:09] Good morning peeps :) [09:21] good morning everyone, [09:55] \o brobostigon [09:56] morning MartijnVdS [10:01] boo! [10:08] \o [10:09] o/ MartijnVdS [10:13] damn! 2nd time today Compiz crashed [both times when dash is open & tying the same thing!] [10:13] bbs - gonna try a reboot [10:31] hmmm... & now I can't make Compiz crash even replicating the same way it crashed twice earlier - me confused [10:31] SuperEngineer: it learned [10:31] it's just a genetic algorithm now [10:31] next thing you know it'll be smarter than you [10:31] seeded with the old compiz [10:32] popey: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b02xcvhw CATS! [10:32] MartijnVdS: I think it's lurking... and learning... and plotting... and planning it's next move [10:33] * SuperEngineer is not paranoid :D [10:33] SuperEngineer: good thing the NSA is keeping a close eye on it [10:33] MartijnVdS: :D [10:33] #Prism [10:34] that'll confuse 'em [10:34] watchlist.add('SuperEngineer') [10:34] just seen a headline pre-release from tomorrow's Guardian: "Compiz found to plant by NSA [10:35] *to be [10:35] +" [10:35] can't just leave your quotes unclosed [10:35] that confuses the algorithms [10:35] ;) "" [10:36] anyway.. cats, thursday, BBC2 [10:45] "Canonical participating in PRISM program through shopping lens" [10:45] Laney: Unity "lenses", PRISM [10:45] Laney: I see a link there [10:46] Laney: for 1 sec I thought that read "Canonical participating in PRISM program through snooping lens" [10:46] SuperEngineer: the letters are, like, right next to each other! Easy typo to make [10:46] dun dun DUN [10:48] NSA & GQHQ watching me... me watching British Touring Car Champions. I win. [10:49] SuperEngineer: F1 tonight! [10:49] MartijnVdS: TV already set to switch at right time [11:05] question: having recently had the chance [a.k.a. been forced to] prove my baackup/restore regime [11:05] ...is there anything I am missing by backing upo a) whole of /home & b) whole of /etc ? [11:06] should I be including something I have not thought of? [11:59] HP Proliant microserver is on sale on ebuyer [12:05] Myrtti: oh? [12:05] Myrtti: got a link handy I know someone was looking for on yesterday [12:06] 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 [12:07] Myrtti: cheers [13:08] popey, how's your hp microserver doing? I'm thinking of getting one that's on offer on ebuyer [13:18] * penguin42 knows a lot of people who like them [13:18] dsample: Be careful of one thing; if you try to unplug the SATA/SAS cable for the main board don't force it [13:19] a friend managed to remove the connector from the board [13:20] nice [13:47] 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 [14:18] depends how many disks u got in there spinning away [15:10] Afternoon peeps :) [15:10] \o [15:11] 'noony bigcalm [15:12] hmm [15:13] What's happening kids? [15:13] Lazy sunday afternoon things ;) [15:14] beer, bath, best chillout music playing [whilst watching BTCC with sound off] ;) [15:15] ...and sun is at last shining through clouds [15:21] SuperEngineer: backup ur packages list [15:25] mungbean_: cheers [15:29] mungbean_: thought... would it still work as I routinely do an apt clean up? [15:30] just the list would be fine tho [15:33] theres a way to save in a way to actually reinstall them all [15:34] oooo [15:37] Afternooning, Ubunteros [15:46] howdy [15:56] mungbean_: thanks a mil - just sorted that out as well [15:57] can u remind me how? [15:57] :P [16:00] mungbean_: list created by: dpkg --get-selections > installed-packages & using dselect [16:00] :p [16:01] e.g. sudo dpkg --set-selections < installed-packages to retrieve [16:02] [I even put the instructions in # lines in the list file] ;) [16:03] I assume that be what ye had mind melad [keel haul him boson!] [16:04] that works, but i think theres another way so that dependencies are retrieved to [16:04] hmmm [16:04] not found that method [16:05] exercise fot the reader::P was mentioned on uupc once [16:06] 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 [16:26] hmm the docs for the Damage extension seem a bit grim [16:27] Damage extension? [16:27] 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 [16:28] ah [16:28] daftykins: Things like vnc and the like can monitor for changes to the screen with it [16:28] sounds like dirty regions in xbmc [16:29] xbmc? [16:30] media centre software, just a term they use [16:30] F1 race coverage on Beeb 1 in 45mins [16:30] daftykins: Ah, yeh I think it's pretty consistent [16:32] hmm ok, that seems to be working [16:35] bbs - switching to 3G - BT just went on a go slow [16:35] slower than 3G? [16:35] hehe [16:37] 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] ouch [16:39] ..alll it takes is 1 of ownersa family to park themselves in nearby room... connxn nearly dies [16:39] not considered running a closer WAP? [16:39] oh I see wifi [16:40] ..but it's free & good much of the time [=cheap] ;) === czajkows1i is now known as czajkowski [16:41] daftykins: I already pay £16 for a 3G dongle with best deal ever found [took some "suggestions from me to get it from "3"] [16:42] ... I get 15GB/month allowance - jealous now? [16:43] what speed do you get out of it? [16:43] so I now get a travelling 3G & backup for when someone blocks the conxn [16:43] i'll never be jealous of a high-latency low-throughput connection :) [16:44] it's better than a pidgeon [16:44] the 3G?... aprox 200mb [16:44] most toimes 3oo [16:44] liveable I guess [16:44] #*times [16:47] yup [16:47] & free [16:47] ...broadband normally.. then 3g as backup [16:47] & to prove a point [ouch] one of family just pulled in for overnight stay.. BT temp disconnect! [16:47] me go down now - me switch to £G ready for F1 [16:47] you need a wifi repeater at a convenient point [16:47] bbs [16:48] heh [16:48] what curious english [16:49] 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] he messaged today saying that downloading openoffice was capped at 100KB/sec download 0o [16:49] sounded a bit suspect [16:50] daftykins: did that fix it? [16:51] ah nah this speed thing is a new 'issue' over this WAP i put in [16:51] dsample: still running fine. had one have a psu fail, current one is running well 24x7 [16:52] his bedroom is surrounded by granite so he needed something separate to the houses' main router to get a signal [16:52] 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] the speed issue seems really weird though [16:52] but thats to be expected it's an old celeron-class cpu at 1.3ghz [16:53] 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] 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 [16:57] daftykins: Can you grab a file from the main router's network at >100Kbit/s? [16:58] * popey hugs his ac100 and knowing the in-laws wifi password by heart [16:58] 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 [17:00] All IP devices should ship with iperf to make this kind of thing easy. [17:01] hehe [17:01] 15 mins to F1 time folks [17:01] zzzzzzz [17:02] well, 60 mins ☻ [17:02] 'vroom' there you go, whole experience wrapped up into one word [17:03] popey: yup, but some [me] luv the preamble coverage as well :) [17:03] meh, f1 hasn't been exciting for many years [17:03] Not since Schumacher broke his legs? [17:03] popey: you ever been at an F1 race? [17:04] nope [17:04] an experience indeed [17:05] i can imagine [17:05] seeing cars whizz by [17:05] and not being able to actually see the race [17:05] on big screens 'cause you're in the safe part, far away from the track [17:05] ;D [17:05] I think there's more to atmosphere that that :) [17:05] [especially if you win a competition and get VIP to British race - including the helicopter ride in & out!] [17:05] i have relatives who go every year [17:05] i'm sure its great fun for some [17:06] ah, let me know if fancy some company - though they have to provide the entrance fee ;) [17:06] i just about cope with the excitement of occasionally seeing the hill climb event on bank holidays over here [17:07] daftykins: I'm also ucky on that one - Prestury Hill climb not far from me [17:08] * SuperEngineer counts his blessings [17:10] [on my planet, we don't use petrol - so I find vrooom races more exciting than perhaps I should] [17:10] i see [17:10] [that last should confuse the NSA] [17:10] ;) [17:10] i wouldn't use that talk too often, the channel already has its' quota of nutters :> [17:11] *cough* redtape [17:11] * SuperEngineer is proud to be counted amongst the brave few] [17:11] ...nutters of course [17:12] daftykins: +1 [17:12] ^_^ [17:12] but please - don't put me in the list as redt... [17:13] the 1 you mention is on my ignore list - in the various names used [17:14] hahaha [17:14] * SuperEngineer is proud to be a nutter - but that doesn't mean he's proud to be an annoyance [17:17] F1 time folks - & yes the preamble is also fun for me as well ;) [17:33] popey, thanks. I ordered it (N54L) earlier, should arrive on Thursday. [17:33] cool [17:34] be interested to know what the performance diff is [17:34] it's an AMD dual-core 2.2GHz, so not amazingly fast, but should be good enough for serving media and doing backups, etc. [17:35] 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 [17:36] those systems are so popular, but aren't they pretty limited on SATA ports / actual 3.5" HDD mounting room? [17:36] gosh, thats quite a difference from my 1.3GHz [17:37] daftykins: yes, it's got 4 bays, plus optical bay internally so "only" 5 bays internal [17:37] i have all occupied, plus an external 8-way device so i have 13 disks in mine [17:37] some kinda backplane? [17:37] daftykins, they can hold 4 drives, but I already have another SATA 4-disk box to extend it with [17:38] i've just got a personal file server in a Coolermaster Stacker case [17:38] from looking at the back it has an eSATA connection [17:38] current RAID 5 volume is only 6 disk [17:38] and is practically full :( [17:38] 277GB free [17:39] it has one esata connection but it can only address one device [17:39] (on mine, dunno about your model dsample) [17:39] huh, what do you mean can only address one device? [17:39] you mean it's serial IO? [17:39] one device per channel as per SATA rules [17:39] so i added a pci-express dual e-sata card (which came with the 8-way external array) which supports port multiplexed e-sata [17:40] ah ok. Well my Belkin box should could as one device [17:40] it can't do pm [17:41] i'd probably just get a nice Synology/QNAP device these days [17:41] although i like having a full OS on a file server, i run VMs and other services with mine [17:41] yeah, i wanted something i could run various linux stuff on [17:41] yeah, i am using lxc to create lots of separate containers for apps [17:42] really enjoying using btrfs on it too [17:42] do you have to mess around making a lot of paths available with lxc, sort of like how chroot environments act? [17:42] I thought about a dedicated NAS box a while ago, but I want more functionality like DLNA video [17:42] no [17:43] 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] yeah, i lobbed a dnla server on it to serve up "content" and threw my music collection at it [17:43] yeah, mine is running http://popey.com/house [17:44] i put the toaster on at 18:26 and 18:30 as you can see from that graph ㋛ [17:44] XD [17:44] crikey your home temp is over 20 pretty consistently [17:45] heating not on surely? [17:45] it's in the room with the boiler, fridge, and server & array [17:45] daftykins: Yeh I remember commenting on that last time he showed that [17:45] so it's not accurate [17:45] hehe [17:46] i'd definitely be interesting in wiring up my boiler to the network for remote control [17:46] 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] not used it in months now though \o/ [17:47] 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 [17:48] ah-har [17:51] You should have a look at Cubism graphs, you could put all of your graphs on a fraction of the screen space [18:19] I've been considering settup up an Adruino as a central heating controller [18:20] if you kept the design open that'd be neat [18:21] 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] I imagine this page would be useful: http://www.jellard.co.uk/2009/11/home-easy-central-heating-control-hack/ [18:23] neat [18:23] I essentially need to control a single relay, assuming the thermostat is already set at my preferred value. [18:24] #include [18:58] Evening all [19:01] Hello diplo_ === diplo_ is now known as diplo [19:15] <^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 [19:16] <^aDaM> <-- Happy user. [19:17] hah ☻ [19:17] 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 [19:18] <^aDaM> Currently installed Steam love how easy it is no Wine needed. [19:19] yeah, i have loads of games in steam now [19:20] 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] -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. [19:21] <^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] 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] i've never touched it [19:21] <^aDaM> Ah :) [19:22] <^aDaM> I tried Saints Row was good. [19:22] <^aDaM> Removed now :) [19:22] well, Steam is truly cross-platform, it gives every OS user hassle [19:22] <^aDaM> Ouch.. [19:22] <^aDaM> 08 here. [19:22] 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] 08? [19:23] <^aDaM> 2008? [19:23] <^aDaM> the year you unlocked steam :o [19:23] <^aDaM> member since :) [19:24] <^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] 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 [19:25] and when Steam first got released, so whenever that was :) [19:25] <^aDaM> lol daftykins :o [19:25] <^aDaM> late 90s ? [19:25] ^aDaM: yeah the whole catalogue hasn't been converted yet [19:25] <^aDaM> 1999 or 2000 surly. [19:25] yep [19:25] '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] well maybe, for things as old as Quake there are ways on Linux anyway [19:26] <^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] its highly unlikely old games will be ported [19:26] <^aDaM> on Steam they will surly :o [19:26] there's not enough revenue to be generated to cover the cost of porting [19:26] <^aDaM> popey, ah ok ok. [19:27] <^aDaM> popey, how would I go about installing Doom 3? [19:27] no idea [19:27] i have it on dvd here [19:27] <^aDaM> I presume it's same method with Quake 4. [19:27] <^aDaM> oh nice yeah same :) [19:27] sometimes ID host installer scripts that you feed the game disc, then they do what's necessary [19:27] <^aDaM> I would need to patch it also mmm [19:27] or sometimes the tools are on the disc [19:27] <^aDaM> daftykins, ah ok ok. [19:27] <^aDaM> I remember installing it via Terminal once... [19:28] <^aDaM> making paths etc.. [19:30] ja [19:31] <^aDaM> jeje [19:31] <^aDaM> daftykins, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games/Native/Quake4 [19:31] <^aDaM> Coffee an I will work on it :) [19:32] <^aDaM> Doom 3 is the same engine surly the install method will be the same just need to find a Linux Full 1.31 Doom 3 Patch ;) [19:36] wow this is creepy http://i.imgur.com/CCFcutl.jpg === mungbean_ is now known as mungbean [19:37] <^aDaM> mungbean, omg! [19:37] <^aDaM> Photo you have taken?? [19:37] <^aDaM> GIMP Edited :P [19:37] <^aDaM> \o/ [19:44] not me [19:44] http://i.imgur.com/igXgb9k.jpg [19:44] allegedly not edited [19:44] other view [19:46] silly human brains seeing patterns in everything [19:47] I didn't see anything ? [19:47] :P [19:47] was onbreddit [19:48] <^aDaM> LoL [19:50] is that like reddit but for breeding dogs? [19:51] 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 /Setup/Data/q4base/*.pk4 /quake4/q4base" [19:52] <^aDaM> I did mount and I get "/dev/sr0 on /media/god/QUAKE4" [19:52] 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 :/ [19:57] http://m.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/09/edward-snowden-nsa-whistleblower-surveillance [20:00] saw ubuntu on click yesterday [20:00] it was accidental, they tend to avoid real tech :) [20:02] <^aDaM> Anyone know how I copy all files from my Quake 4 disc to dir? [20:02] <^aDaM> Im confused :( [20:02] ^aDaM: browse manually into /media/god/QUAKE4/Setup/Data/q4base [20:02] and 'cp *.pk4 ~/quake4/q4base/' [20:03] assuming you created that home path [20:04] <^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] because you typed it ;) [20:05] <^aDaM> lol [20:05] NSA told him [20:07] <^aDaM> So copy all files into the folder daftykins ? then try 'cp *.pk4 ~/quake4/q4base/' [20:08] that command is to copy the files :) [20:09] <^aDaM> dam [20:09] <^aDaM> I just dragged them into quake4/q4base :o [20:09] 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] not quite [20:10] 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] ah yeah *opens link* [20:10] <^aDaM> yeah that one :) [20:10] ./ is always the current path [20:10] . = folder you're in [20:10] <^aDaM> Ah right I see [20:11] ^aDaM: so you downloaded the linux binary at the top of the ubuntu guide? [20:12] <^aDaM> daftykins, Yeah :D [20:12] <^aDaM> I have that saved. [20:12] and it's in ~ ? [20:13] 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] so ~/Desktop/quake4/q4base/ ? [20:14] 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] right click on it, go to properties, make it executable [20:15] <^aDaM> Just copy? [20:15] <^aDaM> ah nice. [20:15] or with the terminal it's "chmod +x quake4-linux-1.4.2.x86.run" as the guide says [20:15] <^aDaM> Ah yes :) [20:16] <^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.

[21:12] <^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] you most likely want the proprietary driver for your card, if you have a proper graphics card yeah [21:13] <^aDaM> daftykins, yeah it's a 8800GT nvidia. [21:13] ah old school [21:13] <^aDaM> ehehe everyone says that!
