DJonesAnybody using hangouts instead of gtalk on android, have you found a way to only show online contacts instead of everybody regardless of status, I can't find one & googling suggests there isn't a way, resorted to removing hangouts & going back to gtalk on a usability basis08:50
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|tea
MooDooDJones: there doesn't seem to be an option08:56
DJonesYeah, that was my conclusion as well08:57
DJonesAh well, I'll stick with gtalk08:57
DJonesI hadn't realised how annoying hangouts was until last night spending 6 hours in A&E and not being able to tell if people were online to let them know08:58
=== alan_g|tea is now known as alan_g
BigRedS Yeah, I think Hangouts is Google's attempt at BBM09:06
BigRedSwhich, in the process, breaks it being a Jabber system09:06
BigRedSIt also seems impossible to uninstall09:06
mgdmThe Chrome extension on the desktop is a sure-fire way to turn any computer into a space heater09:07
mgdm'cos when it's running, the only thing it will do is make heat and nothing else o note09:07
DJonesBigRedS: Its easy to uninstall, just go to application manager, find hangouts and remove updates, that's reverted back to GTalk, then set the phone not to update automatically to stop it being upgraded09:07

BigRedSDJones: Ah! Didn't think of that. I got a new phone instead :)09:24

DJonesHah, maybe not the most cost effective method09:24
andylockranHey guys - my apache memory usage spiked at 8:30 this morning, what could the apache logs tell me about which request it was that caused memory to spike?09:27
SuperMattit could only tell you what was being accessed at that time09:29
SuperMattmaybe if you had any errors it might be in the error log, but that all depends how your php/whatever is coded09:29
andylockranyeah, there were no errors to speak of09:30
andylockranjust looking at my munin/newrelic graphs memory started spiking in apache at 8.4009:30
SuperMattthen it can't really help you09:30
BigRedSYou'd need your app to be doing the logging, really, to tell why that is09:38
BigRedSall Apache's done is pass the request off to PHP or whatever and waited for the output09:38

Haiku_debutantIt seems hard to grasp, but I lack experience slvr17:25
brobostigonit is more or less based on c++ and the BeOS then Haiku api.17:25
neurohad to do like 3 levels of certification on he.net in 5 minutes to get it working properly (they block outbound irc and smtp by default on their ipv6 tunnels unless you do their online certification)17:25

Haiku_debutantI never used Beos. A lot of people came across it as an early example of a live CD; is that right?17:30
neuroyeah, i was meaning the lower level stuff17:30

diddledanshauno: heck yes19:09
MartijnVdSthough I learned basic English at such a young age, I don't even remember learning it19:09
MartijnVdSshauno: but that's the great thing about it :)19:09
diddledanMartijnVdS: I wish foreign languages had been taught to me at an earlier age than they were19:10
MartijnVdSInfinite punning is a great feature of English :) (though apparently, French has this ability as well)19:10
daftykinswhat determines whether KMS is enabled or not?19:10
diddledanhad to wait until I was 13(?)19:10
MartijnVdSdiddledan: I still hate French and German because I could never get the articles right19:10
MartijnVdSdiddledan: 12-13 here for French/German19:10
diddledanI never understood German, but French kinda made sense to me19:10
diddledanexcept knowing whether it's feminine or masculine for a noun19:11
MartijnVdS9-10 for English, but I had a computer so it's more like 5-6 (and my grandmother watched a lot of BBC)19:11
diddledannice19:11
diddledancomputer ftw19:11
MartijnVdSdiddledan: I can read German fine, and French ok-ish.. Spanish is usually a bit easier.19:11
diddledandaftykins: I believe it's always enabled for any driver that supports it unless specifically turned off on the kernel commandline19:12
shaunoI think exposure's the big thing.  computer/internet for one, countries that don't dub TV/movies, etc19:12
MartijnVdSshauno: yeah we get subtitles19:12
diddledansubtitles are much better than dubbing19:12
diddledanimagine the whole slew of foreigners who don't know how Homer Simpson really sounds?!19:12
shaunoI think the other catch we face is that we're taught that impersonating someone's accent = making fun of them.  it's not striving for accuracy, it's fawlty towers19:13
shaunoer, /s/face/fact19:13
MartijnVdSdiddledan: D'oh!19:13
shaunodiddledan: I've watched the simpsons in czech.  it was funny for all the wrong reasons19:14
diddledanlol19:14
MartijnVdSI've watched a marathon on US TV around christmas19:14
MartijnVdSwell a week before19:14
MartijnVdSthat was weird.. 24h of Simpsons :)19:14
diddledanphoo, tiring19:14
daftykinsdiddledan: this guys got a 13.04 install on a macbook where the liveCD boots but the install doesn't after trying bumblebee once (and reinstalling)19:15
diddledanI've given up trying to stay awake 24 hours straight. I just can't do it19:15
daftykinsdiddledan: the xorg.conf from the LiveCD (well USB) shows KMS enabled and carries on booting with nouveau, whilst the installed version flags KMS disabled and doesn't pick nouveau19:15
diddledanhmm19:16
daftykinsoops not xorg.conf. Xorg.0.log19:16
diddledanI would guess there's vestiges of the nvidia-driver still on the system19:16
daftykinsit's a clean install19:16
diddledanthat really doesn't make sense then19:16
daftykinsit all broke after bumblebee so he wiped it19:16
daftykinshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5955910/ <--working LiveCD19:16
daftykinshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5955911/ <-- broken install19:17
daftykinscurious bit after line 24119:17
daftykins(in both)19:17
diddledanline 153 says it's still trying the nvidia driver19:18
diddledanin the second19:18
diddledanmaybe the installer detected the presence of nvidia hardware and included the nvidia driver as part of the post-install cleanup when it downloads mp3 etc.19:19
daftykinsboth bits are in both19:20
diddledanoh, you're right. I overlooked that19:20
diddledandonno then :-p19:20
daftykinshmm does it really put additional drivers on from install these days 0o19:20
daftykinsi got him to boot the original kernel in case it was an update thing19:20
daftykinsbut no change apparently19:21
diddledancan he paste dmesg output?19:21
daftykinsnah19:21
diddledanrats >.<19:22
daftykinsyeah :(19:22
diddledandmesg is the mother of all diagnosis tools for broken hardware :-)19:22
daftykinsodd that KMS is somehow on in one and off in another19:23
daftykinsi doubt there's anything during install that'd auto add 'nomodeset' to the boot param? because that would do it wouldn't it?19:23
diddledanmight be worth checking the grub.conf in case19:24
diddledanin the broken install - line 7: Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-27-generic root=UUID=7854a770-a291-47ca-ba3d-10a1d6ac2d8f ro nomodeset19:25
daftykins:O19:25
diddledanso yeah, it looks like something's playing silly with grub19:25
daftykinsoh deary me19:25
daftykinsgood call, sir19:25
daftykinssadly he was a web chat user and is gone :'(19:25
diddledandang19:25
diddledanwell if he comes back we know his problem and the solution now :-)19:26
daftykins^_^19:26
daftykinsindeedaroonie19:26
daftykinshow in the 'eck did that get there19:26
diddledanno idea19:26
daftykinsperhaps his reinstall wasn't a true nuke-from-orbit19:26
diddledanis nuke from orbit really the best option these days with death stars available?19:27
MartijnVdSdiddledan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDL0KAm9Cbs19:28
diddledansurely five-into-one laser beams from orbit are better than nukes :-p19:28
diddledangrr, it won't play without flash >.<19:28

daftykinsmajor delay ^19:37

MartijnVdSwoo! my patch made it into OpenWRT trunk19:38
daftykinswhat does it do? :o19:39
MartijnVdShttp://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt.git;a=commitdiff;h=3f0051a424b64c5c73aedbbc70a5b33288beb7a319:39
MartijnVdSdiddledan: it enables the CoA/DAE server, so you can send "Disconnect-Request" packets19:39
MartijnVdSuh19:39
MartijnVdSdaftykins:19:39
MartijnVdSdaftykins: (which force-disconnect an authenticated (using WPA-Enterprise) client)19:40
brobostigonwoop, cool. congrats MartijnVdS19:40

MooDoonot sure, think they're up yto 13434234234 different perks now20:07
Guest61585don't the iphone and galaxy actually exist? unfair to compare them20:10

MooDooI think the ubuntu one exists, at least a couple in prototype20:11
=== mungbean is now known as Guest57010
Guest57010in light of that, 630£ would be about right20:11
directhexunless something absolutely pants-on-head insane happens, e.g. "price drop to compete with nexus 4!", edge is not getting made.20:12
MooDoochrist I'm never paying that much for a phone20:12
neuroif you buy a subsidised phone on a contract, then you *are* paying that much for a phone20:14
neuroyou're just deferring the cost20:14
shaunokinda.  the contract doesn't get cheaper if you're not offsetting a phone here20:18
AzelphurI decided to do some science http://youtu.be/40SonajRmgk \o/20:18
directhexneuro, i like how o2 are now upfront about this, down to having two direct debits - one for phone service and one for phone purchase loan20:20
neuroyeah, i saw that20:20
neuroproblem with that is that it's o2 :)20:21
diddledanAzelphur: that's ay maze zing!20:22

diddledanAzelphur: where's the speach recog done?20:22
Azelphurdaftykins: google20:22
diddledanaah, google play api thingy?20:23
Azelphurdiddledan: tasker can call googles speech API20:23
diddledannice20:23
daftykinsAzelphur: so it basically does speech to text then you do some magic on the text as a command?20:23
Azelphurdaftykins: exactly, it does speech to text and then just HTTP GETS what I said to my python webserver20:23
Azelphurand then the python webserver calls XBMC API20:23
shaunoironman 3?  tsk tsk tsk20:24
daftykinsi think i have a mate who would love your WOL method20:24
Azelphurshauno: XD20:24

Azelphurneuro: margate20:25
daftykinsAzelphur: if it was in the last couple of days mayhaps20:25
neuronice20:25
Azelphuronly problem with the WoL is that it's playing up a bit20:25
daftykinsi hear it can be a pain20:26
Azelphurfor some reason, WoL only works if it's in Suspend (if it's shutdown it doesn't work)20:26
Azelphurand for some reason, after a few minutes in suspend, it turns itself back on again (?!?)20:26
neurothis is why i don't futz with WoL :)20:26
daftykinsAzelphur: what was the IM3 rel group? :)20:26
Azelphurdaftykins: dunno, it gets moved into XBMC and renamed automatically20:27

ali1234oh, this old chestnut20:35
diddledanthat totals 1421 in costs over 2 years20:35
diddledanhalve it and you have £710 each for the handset and the network20:35
neurois this some new kind of maths i'm not aware of?20:36
diddledanyeah20:36
diddledanI'm using 48 months = 2 years >.< d'oh20:36
mungbean_29*24=69620:36
ali1234the "maths" normally involves ignoring the cost of a sim only contract when "proving" that subsidized phones are more expensive20:36
neuro(29 * 24) + 29 = 72520:36
AlanBelldepending on what planet you select, that could be right20:36

mgdmdirecthex: is there a recommended way to make my own apt repo I can fire onto S3 or similar static storage?20:36
mgdmdirecthex: (I figured you'd know...)20:37
neuroso the actual phone calls and stuff bit is a shade under 200 quid20:37
mungbean_i'mk on giffgaff but if i need a new phone ever, i'm gonna have to do sums for a nexus4 type phone v carefully20:37
neuroalmost comparable sim only contract (200 mins vs 500), £12.90/mo20:37
AlanBellI just moved to a sim only contract for the first time, and will be purchasing a handset20:37
mungbean_a contract might be cheaper, even though my monthly fee is 7.50 atm20:37
ali1234since you can't link to G+ comments, here is a pastebin of it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5956369/20:38
* neuro is on something daft like 45 quid a month20:38
ali1234tl;dr subsidized phone on contract is 15% cheaper20:38
AlanBellmungbean_: for £7.50 you can get a 24 month contract on a huawei Y300 which is rather good20:38
Azelphur+1 for the Y300, they are only £70 on payg too20:38
AlanBellI was on £47/month up to today, for a galaxy S2 plus insurance20:39
