Adriannomspeaking of bad memory i tested the ram and that's fine00:00
daftykinssounds like you're using the nouveau graphics driver then?00:00
AdriannomAMD Phenom(tm) II X2 555 Processor, 8gb ram00:00
daftykinsok00:00
Adriannomwhich one is that?00:00
Adriannomchecking which one now00:01
daftykinsit's the open source nvidia one which'll be in use if you didn't install the nvidia proprietary00:01
Adriannom304.8800:01
daftykinsoh ok that's the official nvidia proprietary one then00:01
Adriannomit's nvidia proprietary00:01
Adriannomyeah00:01
daftykinswas that offered through additional-drivers?00:01
Adriannomyeah00:02
daftykinsif it showed any other versions, i'd be tempted to switch around and experiment00:02
Adriannominterestingly it seems like the problem occurs more frequently with sites like facebook, so i wonder if it's related to any kind of plugin00:02
Adriannomalso it seems to have trouble with fullscreen youtube sometimes00:02
Adriannomon one of my monitors... not the other00:02
daftykinsmmm00:03
Adriannomsorry, i should define trouble... i meant the video is quite choppy fullscreen00:03
Adriannomprobably unrelated i guess00:05
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
Adriannomactually... maybe it's compiz...00:05
daftykinswell fullscreen would try and use accelerated video rendering/decoding00:06
daftykinsah-ha00:06
daftykinsthat it certainly could be00:06
daftykinsif it leaves browser windows looking white and empty, that'd be a likely MO00:06
Adriannomdamn gnome fallback for not having an alt-tab :P00:06
Adriannomi'll remove compiz and see if that works, thanks for helping diag daftykins :)00:09
daftykinsnp!00:09
ali1234fnome fallback does have alt-tab00:48
ali1234it's compiz that doesn't - when you use it outside of unity, you bare a totally bare config with no plugins enabled00:49
ali1234also "failure to redraw windows" is a compiz bug too00:50
ali1234specifically one that affects the nvidia driver00:50
daftykinsis it not genuinely worth having the person not quit to keep commenting?00:50
daftykins:)00:50
daftykinsoops s/genuinely/generally/00:51
ali1234well he might come back00:52
diddledannagios/icinga is noisy when you're reconfiguring stuff00:53
diddledandon't say "use the downtime feature" because I'm setting it up with a new system without losing the old working system until I'm sure they're reporting the same statuses00:54
diddledanI guess I should have turned off the notifications until I know it's set up00:56
diddledanI only thought about that _after_ I had over 2000 emails in my gmail inbox00:57
ali1234at least with gmail it's easy to clean up01:59

diddledandamn, the company I work for has run out of IP Addresses in one of our datacentres - we really need to rebalance things08:00
MartijnVdSipv6 time :)08:00
diddledanI keep suggesting it08:01
MartijnVdSwell you won't be getting any more IPs from RIPE08:01
MartijnVdSunless you have an IPv6 transition plan (and even then you get a very small block)08:01
=== msm is now known as Guest64874
diddledanwe need another /28 in each of the two datacentres we colocate in08:05
MartijnVdStime to start writing that transition plan then ;)08:06
shaunoassuming you're getting them from ripe, and not just buying more addresses from the provider08:07
MartijnVdSshauno: that provider should be reluctant as well08:07
diddledanI think we just lease off the datacentre which helps08:07
shaunoI'm kinda curious how transition goes at larger sites.  must be some quiet mayhem08:09
MartijnVdSshauno: We're dual-stack.08:09
MartijnVdS(everywhere except a few office machines)08:09
=== schwuk_away is now known as schwuk
shaunoI was more wondering whether they actually start to use it.  or if "the plan" is just so they can get more v4 assignments08:26
dwatkinsMartijnVdS is very silly and he knows it.08:28
shaunoeg, for the typical multi-node web stack, you don't really need v4 on most machines.  pretty much just the haproxy/nginx frontends?  the application & db servers shouldn't really need it08:28
MartijnVdSdwatkins: On G+ you mean? :)08:30
dwatkinsMartijnVdS: yeah08:32
bigcalmGood morning peeps :)08:32
shaunoreminds me, the ubuntu installer doesn't seem to like it when you only give it a SLAAC address.  slaac+v4 works, dhcpv6+v4 works, and just dhcpv6 works.  but just slaac tells you autoconfiguration failed08:32
MartijnVdSshauno: that's a bug08:32
MartijnVdSshauno: have you filed it?08:33
shaunoI haven't.  I had enough things go wrong that day :/08:33

davmor2Apparently this year I get to sell our sensible family car and buy a 2 seater mgb gt or an e-type apparently :)10:23
AlanBelldiddledan: sounds like a "wait a bit" issue10:24
mgdmdavmor2: An E-Type? you made of cash? :)10:24
AlanBellmid-life crisis \o/10:24
davmor2mgdm: Hence the mgb gt was listed first10:24

arc__davmor2: Get a mazda rx-810:25
arc__or a audi a310:25
AlanBelldiddledan: I am updating now, no issues10:25
diddledanAlanBell: I mistakenly tried installing wine1.4 and blindly agreed to the stupid proposal of removing half of my installed packages10:26
diddledanso I'm trying to recover by reinstalling ubuntu-desktop10:26

diddledanor bikes10:27

diddledanif a bike then it needs to fire once every other lamppost. none of this modern japanese poo that sounds like a bumblebee10:28
mgdmthey also stopped making them 7 years before I was born10:28
arc__get a DeLorean DMC-1210:28
mgdmdiddledan: see, my problem with bikes like that is that they constantly sound like they're farting10:28

diddledantickover is something like 30 seconds between explosions10:29
diddledanI jest, but that's the idea10:29
mgdmhehe10:30
davmor2mgdm, diddledan: If I had a choice it would be a BSA model 4 or an a7 bike, an E-type jaguar just cause it's the best looking car EVER!!!! or the poor mans E-type in the mgb gt or at a push a triumph stag10:31
davmor2oh or the mallard obviously thats a bit harder to park10:31
mgdmIt's almost a shame that Jaguar wouldn't lend the James Bond producers an E-Type, so they ended up with the Aston...10:32
mgdmI mean it's a nice car, but it's not an E-Type10:32
diddledanI'm not sure you can class it as "lend" when you get it back scorched and dented10:33

diddledanpnp4nagios makes some nice purdy graphs when combined with icinga10:35

MartijnVdSI only stayed in one, and it was OK11:05
aquariusbut I've stayed in the Premier Inn on Broad Street a couple of New Years Eves11:05
aquariusbasic, but cheap, and close to all the Saturday night nightlife :)11:06
mgdmI tend to find premier inns aren't objectionable11:06
aquariushaving said this, my priority there, since it was on my own dime, was: as cheap as possible, especially since I was landing into the place at about half two in the morning and leaving again at 8 :)11:06

diddledanI installed two mysql servers today13:18
mibofra_cellI've upgrated to ver 13.04.2 of the package mysql-server-5.5 and I couldn't start mysql from init script alias upstart job, the error log /var/log/mysql/error.log says that mysqld has been tried to start by init script with too much arguments (one of the too much ones is start for the log). So I've donwgraded to ver 13.04.1 version all mysql packages13:23
mibofra_celldiddledan did you experienced something like this?13:24
diddledannope, I'm not sure what you mean by "start for the log"13:26
diddledanmysql is started with `service mysql start` or even more succinctly just `start mysql`13:27
shaunojust to clarify, 12.04 or 13.04?13:29
mibofra_cellI don't remember now the words the log used but anyway it notified me the arguments was extra; after the error was showen first in the output of apt-get I've tried manually to start mysql with both commands but with the same results13:31

diddledanamiga + synergy screweyness?15:29
diddledanspeaking of synergy. I've just received an email from them15:30
Azelphurgah this is so frustrating, I have messages and I can't read them because of this bug :@15:42
mgdmalt-tab not helping?15:43
Azelphurnope, doesn't work, it appears to be blocked15:43
AzelphurI think it might have been skype that caused it, I killed skype and my functionality came back for a matter of seconds before locking again15:44
daftykinswon't reconnecting a peripheral force that kind of stuff into sorting itself out?15:44
Azelphurnope tried disconnecting and reconnecting the mouse, no dice.15:45
Azelphurthere's a key, XF86Ungrab that's supposed to force whatever it is to let go, but that doesn't work either.15:45
Azelphurwoo, I got it back15:48
Azelphurdropped to a tty after killing skype, came back, and it seems to have released15:48
Azelphurstupid skype.15:48

daftykinsyour setup always has funky quirks ^_^15:51
Azelphuryup :(15:51
daftykinsright, quick nip to the coffee shop 20 seconds from my front door \o/15:51
Azelphurhoping all the quirks will disappear when I go ATI and one big screen15:51
daftykinsD:!15:51
Azelphurdaftykins: that is, software wise15:51
daftykinsi thought ATI drivers seemed to be even further hellish15:51
Azelphurphysically 4 screens :)15:51
Azelphurnvidia purposefully bricks multimonitor support to try and sell quadro cards15:51
diddledanati eyefinity ftw15:56
diddledanalthough they need to hurry up and create a wayland/mir driver15:56
Azelphurhehe15:56

Azelphuryea, the open drivers are noisey as all hell too15:57
daftykinsA comparison of coffee shops15:58

daftykinsprobably mind-numbing to enforce16:08
daftykinsthere are still such minor issues coming up in #ubuntu all the time16:28

Azelphurhmm, I don't ese anything16:43
MartijnVdSAzelphur: around 0:11 it goes completely dark16:44
AzelphurMartijnVdS: oh hey, you can see the reflection of my room16:44
MartijnVdSthen around 0:13 the backgrouind lights up16:44
popeybah, so many people joining twitter now wwith @popey* names, I keep getting hilighted incorrectly16:44
MartijnVdSthen at 0:15 it goes away16:44
Azelphurthat's my sofa16:44
AzelphurxD16:44
popeythe same problem aquarius has16:44
popeybut his is more pronounced16:44
MartijnVdSmore.. "Aqute"16:44
aquariusyes indeed it is more pronounced.16:44
Azelphurwill have to do something about the reflection16:45
Azelphurpopey: did you see my popeycam? :P16:45

popeytried that16:47
popeyyt works16:48
Azelphurweird16:48
Azelphurpopey: you can look at the time lapse video instead from the webcam, https://www.dropbox.com/s/5lts9gf3q963p1i/timelapse2.mp4:P16:49
Azelphurhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/5lts9gf3q963p1i/timelapse2.mp4 oops.16:49
popeyyeah, looks good16:50
popeyshame it's out of focus16:50
popeyseems focussed on the window16:50
Azelphuryea, dunno how I could fix that16:50
popeyor its a crap camera ☻16:50
popeyput it closer to the window16:50
popeylike attached16:50
Azelphurcan't, it has that ring around the bottom http://pressbox.co.uk/images/logos/346102_edimax-wireless-802.11n-dual-mode-pan-tilt-internet-camera-with-1.3m-pixels-lens-ic-7000ptn-l.jpg16:51
Azelphurso it's always like an inch away from the window16:51
Azelphurunless I propped it up at an angle somehow16:51
* Azelphur shall try that16:51
popeyahh16:51
MartijnVdSdoes it run custom firmwaR?E16:51
AzelphurMartijnVdS: nope, stock16:51
popeyput it outside ☻16:51
popeyhow did you stream to ustream from it?16:52
Azelphurhaha, it's not waterproof16:52
Azelphurpopey: ffmpeg rtsp :)16:52
popeynice16:52
popeycan i see the command line?16:52
popeyi would love to do that16:52
Azelphur./ffmpeg -r 7 -i "http://admin:1234@192.168.1.120/mjpg/video.mjpg" -filter:v "scale=640:480,crop=640:360:60:0" -f flv "${RTMP_URL}/${KEY} flashver=FME/2.5\20(compatible;\20FMSc\201.0)"16:53
Azelphurit was really tricky getting the framerate right, because mjpg has no framerate info16:53
AzelphurI basically hard coded 7, which is a tad faster than real time, the stream stops to catch up occasionally.16:53
popeyah16:55
popeycool16:55
popeythanks16:55
Azelphurnope, getting it pressed up against the glass didn't do much16:56
Azelphurbut then, it is at an angle16:56
popeyoh, stream is working now17:01
popeyto be fair it's a cheap camera and it's a long way from the subject17:01

Guest30230hi, i have a quick question. the dell developers edition seems to list the killer wireless on the dell website. i thought it had an intel wireless that had issues? is this an update?19:47
daftykinsperhaps Dell are more qualified to answer?19:49
Guest30230yep and i will contact them tomorrow when their online :)  just thought someone here might know19:52
daftykinsthey look kinda nice those systems19:53
Guest30230i can only find reviews online with the intel wireless card listed in the spec. and people saying it had wireless issues.19:53
daftykinsalthough i'd wait until they make a haswell edition since imo laptops are primarily about battery life19:53
Guest30230so maybe its a nice update19:53
