daftykinsso a tad slow00:00
neuroif you have unlimited internet, just set it to download and notify00:00
neuroor if not, just set it to notify only00:00
brianbmind you they are having problems killing off xp00:00
neurowho is?00:00
brianbmicrosoft00:01
neuroit's been EOLed, end of00:01
brianblots of companies will not update to win700:01
daftykinsyeah come April she's dead00:01
daftykinsand not a moment too soon either00:01
neuroi know plenty of companies updating00:01
brianbyeah but it will not stop it be used00:01
daftykinsi'll refuse to work on it even if i get any requests from now on00:01
neuroi was part of a win7 rollout last year00:01
neuroit won't stop O/S2 Warp being used, but it doesn't mean people have to support it00:02
brianbit is still the most popular os that microsoft came out with00:02
neuroit's not, by current market share00:03
brianbwin8 sells less then vista00:03
neuropeak was in 200700:03
neurowin7 is the big boy now00:03
brianbwin 8 2.86% vista 5.9%00:03
neuroum, source?00:04
brianbxp is still up there with win700:04
brianbBBC technology00:04
neuroha00:04
daftykinsit's not when you see too many infected XP machines you have to scrub :)00:04
daftykinsit's just too easily exploited00:05
brianbyeah i know00:05
neuroas of last month, win7 was on 44.8%, winxp on 37.7%, vista on 4.5% and win8 on 4.2%00:05
neurohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems00:05
neuroaccording to Net Applications00:05
neurowho are pretty good as this sort of thing00:05
neuros/as/at/00:05
brianbwell given the money they have spent in marketing and adds for win 8 thats not particular good since its been out for a year now00:06
neuro10 months, but who's counting? :)00:07
brianband they have to put back the start button00:07
brianbin an attempt to gain more sales00:07
neuroi doubt that will increase sales by a large amount00:08
brianbmind you guess win9 must not be too long to release00:08
daftykins8.1 in a couple of months00:08
daftykinsi doubt it'll be to 8 as 7 was to Vista though00:08
neuroit's just a big service pack00:09
neuromore akin to OS X 10.8 -> 10.900:09
brianbanyway microsoft are making money out of linux00:10
neurodo explain00:10
brianbfoxcom pays microsoft a licence to use linux00:11
brianbotherwise they will be hit with legal stuff00:11
neurowho?00:11
brianbthe manufacture of mobile devices00:11
neuroyou mean hon hai foxconn?00:12
brianbMS threatend IP legal action00:12
brianbso they decided to just pay MS rather then get draged througth the courts00:12
neuroummm00:13
neurothat's an android thing, not linux per se00:14
brianbdont ask me how they can do that - was an article in a linux mag a few months ago00:14
brianbandroid is based upon linux00:15
neuroIS IT?!?!?!?00:15
neuro:)00:15
brianbgoogles version of it00:15
neurobut it's an *android* patent issue00:17
daftykinsif you can forgive my tangent, here are some snaps i just put up of the laptop i was fixing up earlier :)00:17

neurohope you airdusted that fan dude :)00:18
neuroand you have more patience than me00:18
daftykinshaha00:18
daftykinsi find it fun, sadly enough00:18
neuroi had to do a teardown on a thinkpad00:18
neurotook me two days00:18
daftykinsjust favours for friends and families of friends00:18
neurowas a screen replacement00:18
daftykinsouch!00:18
daftykinsah yeah00:18
neurohated every minute of it00:19
brianbso how many operating suytems have back doors built into them for the snoopers to gain access?00:19
neuroand it was a work thing so i couldn't just do a table flip and say **** it00:19
neurobrianb: all of them00:19
brianbyes00:19
neuroand the word 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary00:19
daftykinsXD00:20
neuroif you believe OSes have backdoors embedded within them to aid national intelligence agencies, then you should write your own OS00:20
neuroor do a line by line analysis of the source code of your favourite FLOSS distro and compile it from scratch00:21
neuroit doesn't make sense commercially to provide backdoors into OSes00:21
brianbeven the cpus probably have backdoors built in00:21
neurolook at Apple, they have a backlog of iPhone unlocks to do under warrant00:22
neurobecause the authorities don't have the tools to break into the phones themselves00:22
neuroif my OS is secure, how does John Q. Spymaster get into my CPU????00:23
brianbim sure they can look at the way the authoritys came up with the software to infect the industrial controlers used for the manfcture of plutomium00:25
neuro?!?!?!?!?!00:25
brianba few years ago00:25
neuroyou're trolling us, yes?00:25
brianbthe centfuges00:25
daftykinsregardless of your intentions there can be little gain from such conspiracy theories00:25
brianbdont you follow the news?00:26
daftykinsoccasionally i hear of things00:26
daftykinsbut if this is about PRISM, i'm not really surprised00:26
daftykinsnor should anyone be00:26
neurohe's not talking about PRISM00:26
neurohe's talking about Stuxnet00:26
brianbyes00:26
daftykinsyeah the SCADA thing00:26
daftykinsi read about that, mm00:26
neurowhich was very very well documented, and based on lots of 0day hacks that were burned in the name of state sponsored malware00:26
daftykinsstill i'm afraid this kinda convo i find a fair bit fruitless to enter into00:27
neuronothing particularly insidious00:27
neurothe scada software was poorly protected, and the hacks employed were pretty rudimentary00:27
neurothe recent chinese stuff is kinda similar00:27
neurothe fact that it's state sponsored is the unusual part00:28
neurothe methods employed are not unusual00:28
brianbwell with 30million lines of code in the linux kernel im sure someone has layed a few trap doors00:28
neurooh please00:28
neuronow you're definitely trolling00:28
brianbso you have analyese all that code then?00:28
neuroof course not00:29
brianbqed00:29
neurobut do you seriously believe an openly developed project has been compromised by a government?00:29
neurowith the amount of eyes on the code at any given time00:29
neurothings which are "bad" get noticed very very quickly00:29
brianblots of people involved you dont know were they work do you?00:29
neurolike when kernel.org was compromised a few years back00:30
neurooh dear00:30
neuroi've been trolled00:30
neurodammit00:30
daftykinsneuro: it's ok! it's still good!00:30
neuro\o/00:30
brianba few years back i read that there was a few lines of code that nearly got into the linux kernel which would have given a back door access00:31
neurotum te tum00:31
daftykinsmake a witty retort regarding the BBC iPlayer00:31
neuroIPLAYER ISN'T AS GOOD AS SKY GO!00:31
neurois that witty enough?00:31
brianbwell i guess you work for sky00:31
neurorofl00:31
neurosorry, i forgot my 96pt </sarcasm> tag00:32
neuroalthough sky go interestingly does let me stream C4 channels live, which i don't think 4od does00:32
brianbat least the BBC Iplayer was the first in the feild00:32
neuroand?00:34
daftykinsthat's like saying smallpox got there early00:34
neurohehe00:34
brianband sky only got the R&D from NDS00:34
neuroand i'm pretty sure VoD predates iplayer00:34
brianbwhich they took over00:34
neurolol wat00:35
neuroyou know cisco owns NDS now00:35
brianbNDS was the R&D arm of the old IBA00:35
neurooh dear god00:35
neuroi'm still being trolled00:35
daftykins:D00:35
daftykinsthere are TLA's being thrown around left right and centre here00:36
brianbgoogle it00:36
neurodaftykins: NDS is an israeli company who specialised in satellite TV encryption00:36
brianbthe IBA developed most of the digital TV00:36
neuroGAAAAH00:36
daftykinso rry00:36
daftykinsbrianb: i would if i was interested, no offence00:37
neurothe IBA was the old Independent Broadcasting Authority, who regulated independent TV in the UK00:37
brianbNDS was created from the R&D arm of the IBA00:37
neurono, it wasn't00:37
neuroit was a startup founded in israel00:37
brianbyes00:37
brianbit was00:37
brianbbut it also had roots in digitTVmidea00:38
neurodaftykins: then the IBA became the ITA, then ITC, then Ofcom00:38
neuroor at least bits of Ofcom00:38
brianbcorrection ITA then IBA then ITC and now ofcom00:38
neurowhatever00:39
brianbmost of the IBA's R&D was sold off and skybsky00:39
neuroin case you're not actually trolling, you're probably thinking of the IBA developing the DBS stuff that became BSB00:40
brianbaquired it00:40
brianbyes they did00:40
neurowhich was nothing to do with DVB-T00:40
brianbCMAC00:40
neuroum, no00:41
neuroD-MAC00:41
brianbconditional access was developed by the IBA00:41
brianbCMAC then D-MAC00:41
brianbhence how NDS was born00:42
neuroWHAT ARE YOU WIBBLING ABOUT00:42
brianbbtw i have a IBA R&D paper on conditional access00:42
neuroi don't doubt you have00:44
neurobut NDS didn't actually have a product until 199100:44
brianband that was the origionation of encryption of digital TV00:44
brianbIBA was sold off in 199000:44
brianband NDS came out of the sell off00:45
neuroIBA's regulatory functions went to the ITC and the Radio Authority00:45
neuroIBA's engineering went to NTL, which was created specifically to take them00:45
brianbyes but the R&D was sold off and sky got that00:45
neuroyou are bloody minded in your trolling, aren't you?00:46
neuroi'll give you that00:46
brianbthen they sold bits of it off00:46
brianbim not a troll00:46
neuroyou're doing a good impression of one00:46
brianbi know people who worked for all those companies00:46
brianbso i do speak with some knowledge00:47
neuroyou're speaking with second or third hand knowledge00:47
brianbno i actually worked with some of them00:47
neuroso it's second hand then00:47
brianbwell what knowledge are you speaking from then?00:48
neurosomething called Reading00:48
brianbwell that just googling stuff its not actually konwing ppl is it!00:48
neuroi've read books on UK broadcasting00:49
neuroare you saying those books are fake?00:49
neuroNDS was founded in Israel in 198800:49
neurothey placed products to market in 199100:49
brianbi have worked years ago in UK broadcasting00:49
neuroNews Corp bought NDS in 199200:49
neuroCisco bought NDS last year00:49
brianbwhich is more the reading books on it00:49
neuroNDS had NOTHING to do with the IBA00:50
brianbNews Corp was sky00:50
neurounless the IBA moved to israel when no-one was looking00:50
neurono, News Corp was a shareholder in Sky00:50
neuroand always has been00:50
neuroit is not a majority shareholder00:50
brianbthe designers from the IBA's T&A division and R&D depts went over to News Corp00:51
neuroyou're probably conflating IBA's engineering people at BSB being transferred through the buyout00:51
neuroNO00:51
neurothey went to British Sky Broadcasting00:51
brianbi know ex design enginer from the IBA who is with NDS00:51
neuroand if ANY of those engineers went to NDS it was very much AFTER the fact00:51
neuroi don't doubt that00:51
brianbwell im sorry you are incorect00:52
neurobut saying IBA sold their R&D to News Corp to become NDS is untrue00:52
neuroutterly untrue00:52
neuro(in fact IBA sold nothing, it was disbanded as discussed)00:52
brianbso your an expert on broadcasting then?00:52
neuroi know a little bit about it00:52
brianbthat does n ot make you an expert does it00:53
neurolike i know work on NICAM and DVB was spearheaded by BBC R&D00:53
neuroi at no point claimed to be an expert on anything00:53
neuroi just remember facts that i have been exposed to00:53
brianbwell the encryption was being worked on with the event of D-MAC00:54
neurojust because you "know a guy" surely doesn't make you an expert either?00:54
neuroof course there was encryption being layered onto D-MAC00:54
brianbi did say i worked in the industry00:54
neurootherwise The Movie Channel doesn't exist00:54
neuroworking in an industry doesn't make you an expert in all things in that industry00:54
brianband D-MAC came before all the other chanels00:55
neuroeh?00:55
brianbas i said most of the R&D on MAC (D-MAC) came from IBA R&D Labs00:55
brianbwhich found its was into NDS00:56
brianband Tanburg00:56
neuroNDS were tasked to do the encryption for Sky, which was a PAL based system00:56
brianbdont forget its 20 odd years of technology since the original stuff was in development00:57
brianbNews Corp was owned by Murdock00:58
brianbBSB used IBA technology00:58
brianbthen BSB mergered with sky00:58
neuroand sky at that point were using NDS videocrypt00:59
brianband sky wanted pay as you view00:59
neurosky HAD scrambling already00:59
brianbthat was developed by the IBA Labs00:59
neuroNO00:59
neuroIT00:59
neuroBLOODY00:59
neuroWASN'T00:59
brianbit ws00:59
brianbwas00:59
neuroi give up01:00
neuroyou're impossible01:00
brianbD-MAC could be scrambeled01:00
neuroi didn't say otherwise01:00
neurocrivvens01:00
brianbi suggest you look at some online IBA R&D reports01:00
neuroi suggest you look at videocrypt vs eurocrypt01:01
brianband widen you reading scope01:01
neurotwo very different systems01:01
brianbmaybe so same as PAL and NTSC or SECAM are all different but fundamentaly each is a derivative from the NTSC system01:02
neuro*facepalm*01:02
neurolook at the facts01:03
neuroBSB was essentially an IBA venture01:03
neurothe IBA went with EBU standards, MAC and EuroCrypt01:03
brianbmost TV standards were based upon the EBU01:03
neuroSky was a purely commercial venture, and to get to market fast, they went with straight PAL over DBS rather than multiplexing PAL into MAC, and VideoCrypt - a commercial product from NDS01:04
brianband most broadcaster were part of the EBU01:04
neuroshut up01:04
neurowhen BSB went defunct and merged with Sky, both systems were ran concurrently01:04
neurothen D-MAC/EuroCrypt was deprecated in favour of Pal/VideoCrypt01:04
brianbBSB did not go defunct01:04
neurowhatever, shush01:05
neuromeanwhile, the BBC were working on DVB-T based on MPEG-2 ISO 13818-101:05
brianbthe uk goverment of the day did not like the IBA and so they gave the green light for the merger01:05
neuroand it was they who led the UK digital transmission standards, not anyone from the IBA, which didn't exist01:05
neuroand Sky elected to use DVB-S for Sky Digital01:06
brianbwell the IBA was closed down in 199001:06
brianbso what happend to all the R&D engineers then?01:06
neurothey went to NTL or got jobs elsewhere01:06
brianbhold on01:07
neuroor ended up working for BSkyB01:07
neuroif they were working for BSB in the first place01:07
brianbNTL was set up for the transmission are which was not the same as the R&D arm01:07
brianbtwo different things01:08
neuroare you saying that IBA Engineering only dealt with tx?01:09
brianbthe IBA split into three divisions - regulation hence ITC/Ofcom, the Radio Authorty, and engineering which had R&D and transmission01:09
neurothank you for repeating what i said earlier01:09
brianbso the people involved in transmission when over to NTL, and those in R&D when to News Corp01:10
neuroi'm going to say this in small words so that hopefully it will get through to you01:11
neuroNews Corp did not own BSkyB01:11
brianbor a holding company set up that changed its name a few times01:11
neurothey only had a shareholding in it01:11
brianband split into other groups01:11
brianbso who are New Corp then?01:11
brianbwho owns New Corp?01:11
neurowhat's that got to do with anything?01:12

MartijnVdSSuperMatt: uh.. no08:00
MartijnVdSSuperMatt: held back means that you need to "dist-upgrade" instead of "upgrade" because apt won't install extra packages otherwise :)08:01

mungbeanprobably not the best idea08:36
dwatkinsMartijnVdS: I'm not sure, I've checked it doesn't have two sets of default router, but maybe there's something else that's causing this - where does whatever uses the file log? http://hastebin.com/nogiteyawe.hs08:37

dwatkinspopey: yes, thanks08:39
dwatkinsI was at a bit of a loss, so copied and pasted parts of an example file, originally it was only about 4 lines08:39

christeli am not very fond of needles either... luckily they dont want my blood atm!08:42
christel(Anyone who has ever injected themselves with drugs. -- does that refer only to illegal drugs do you think or would it also rule me out for having had to inject heparin for 2 weeks following childbirth in the past?)08:43

TheOpenSourcerermy brother was a diabetic from the age of 3 until he died around 40. His arms and legs were hard as nails by the time he was an adult. He found it very hard to get a needle in anywhere.08:47

bigcalmOn occasion, after booting my machine, dash appears behind existing windows. To fix it I have to disable/enable the unity plugin via ccsm. Does this happen to anybody else?10:57
MartijnVdSno, but the dash is VERY slow for me10:57
MartijnVdSwhen it's open, even videos that are playing fine become choppy10:58
davmor2bigcalm: Nope but then I'm not on a mutli monitor display10:58
bigcalmdavmor2: not 100% sure that is the reason, but it might be. 12.10 though10:59
davmor2bigcalm: I thought you upgraded to 13.0411:00
bigcalmThe laptop, yes11:00
Laneyanyone ever used the usb output functionality of a cheapy ion turntable with ubuntu?11:20
MartijnVdSprobably11:23
MartijnVdSUSB audio is pretty standardf11:23
MartijnVdSI've used the Sony turntable's USB out11:23
TheOpenSourcererLaney: I have a KAM USB Turntable but never got very good sound recording quality the last time I tried it (but that was probably on 10.04)11:23
Laneyjust use audacity I guess11:23
TheOpenSourcererIt was also over a 30m USB cable ;-)11:23

Laneyit does not11:24
Laney(but is)11:24
MartijnVdSBad label ;)11:24
TheOpenSourcererI lent my turntable to my Dad just after I got it for a Christmas present probably 5 years ago. Dad had it for 2 years and ripped all his vinyl. Inc. 78 RPM stuff.11:25
Laneyyeah, it's atlantic records11:25
Laneyyou'd think they could do it right11:25
Laneyshe says audacity works (H)11:32
directhexmy dad ripped his vinyl with audacity too11:35
directhexit's the tool the guides that come with usb turntables recommend11:35

popeynope13:40
mungbeanused to be possible. don't know anymore ^2fC13:43
davmor2bigcalm: He has done a load of work on it,  things like do you know your turbo isn't working the vacuum pipe was blocked I've cleaned it out for you no charge on that :)13:43

^2fCWhat about Compiz popey, mungbean ?13:47
popeywhat about it?13:47
^2fCWould that not let me move my Icons to the bottom? or maybe move the while taskbar :\13:48
mungbean^2fC: it *used to* be possible, but not official http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYH13qQZZe813:48
^2fC:(13:48
^2fCSo you can only make the Icons smaller?13:48
^2fCThere to big, and when having alot of tasks open it gets annoying :\13:48
^2fCMust be a way, theres always a way if it could be done previously then it can be done again ;) also Windows has the option :O13:49
* ^2fC did say he wouldnt boot another OEM Windows disc.13:50

^2fCah cool13:52
^2fCAlso can you use Compiz in 13.04 still? Like 3DCube etc.. the effects when closing Windows/Tabs/13:54
popeyyes, 13.04 ships with compiz by default13:56
^2fCpopey: ah nice, well I just checked in USC and it says its not installed just wanted to confirm before downloading/installing it...13:56
^2fCHow do I open it?13:57
popeyunity is a compiz plugin13:57
popeydo you mean, how do you configure it?13:57
^2fCAh yes, sorry.13:57
^2fCConfigure*13:57
popeyyou can install Unity Tweak Tool which is quite good for configuring unity13:58
popeythere's also compizconfig-settings-manager, but be careful with that, it's possible to break unity with it13:58
^2fCOk I should try it :)13:58

knightwisehey everyone14:43
MartijnVdShi knightwise14:43
knightwiseHey MartijnVdS14:44
knightwisehow are you today14:44
knightwisedoes anyone know anything about grub ?14:45
knightwisei've moved some partitions on my Macbook Pro (i dual boot osx and ubuntu)14:45
knightwisenow when I want to launch Ubuntu (i use REFIT as a bootloader) it give me the error /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod not found14:46
knightwiseand it drops me back to a grub resque prompt14:46
knightwiseanyone got any ideas ?14:46
directhexknightwise, did you use the refit option to rebuild your shadow mbr partition table?14:49
knightwisedirecthex: I'm not sure , do I do that in the main menu ?14:49
knightwise(of refit ? )14:49
directhexknightwise, yes14:49
knightwiseholdon , booting into refit14:49
knightwiseid that the efi shell or the partitioning tool ?14:50
directhexknightwise, you have two partition tables - a "real" one which is GPT, and a fake copy which is MBR. if you moved partitions around, but the fake MBR table still points to the old locations, then it'll screw up when booting due to not finding required data14:50
knightwiseallright so ... i start the partitioning tool ?14:50
MartijnVdSgparted, I guess?14:51
knightwiseit says both the gpt and the mbr tables are syncronised14:51
directhexknightwise, hm14:51
directhexnot that then14:51
knightwiserefit has a very basic built in partitioning tool14:51
knightwisebut its just for syncing those two partition tables14:51
knightwiseI can try to remove and reinstall refit.14:52

mungbeantrying to understand user accounts15:11
mungbeanfollowing instructions that say change Ident to md515:12
mungbeanthen add a blah user15:12
