[07:47] As far as I know it should do, should pick the best connection, dropping down until as a last resort it starts chucking carrier pidgeons out as though the phone was a magicians top hat [07:50] Although if its a Blackberry, it probably starts with the pidgeon and drops down to postal service [07:51] DJones, Thanks will give it a whirl...It is an Orange Sanfran dut I have put cyanogenmod on it. [08:03] morning all [08:04] good morning AlanBell [08:04] morning [08:18] Good morning peeps :) === schwuk_away is now known as schwuk [08:26] did anyone watch dragons den?

[08:28] what i said [08:28] mungbean: this? http://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/ [08:28] the fella was trying to sell his product which was a copy [08:28] how much of a copy? [08:44] oh dear, this program is painful to watch [08:45] he came for a job interview last week :P [08:46] oh, sorry, I havn't got that far yet, I'm still watching the rather unfortunate fashion magazine presentation [08:48] think it was after, interspersed witha toilet flush thing [09:04] http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/aladdin-key-to-remember-open-source-hardware [09:04] thats the thing that was on dragons den [09:07] interesting idea, but it does sound like a derivation of the yubikey [09:07] no, it isn't [09:07] no cryptography involved, not a one time keypad [09:07] oh ok, how so? === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [09:09] that thing is just a keyboard sequence [09:11] mungbean: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/aladdin-key-to-remember-open-source-hardware === mungbean is now known as Guest77088 [09:21] With the UBuntu images for Nexus 7's, do they allow you to dual boot ubuntu & android or does Ubuntu fully replace Android [09:22] we dont support dual boot [09:22] but it is possible [09:22] http://barrenfrozenwasteland.com/2013/03/dual-booting-android-and-ubuntu-touch-on-the-nexus-7/ [09:22] from marxjohnson [09:23] Thanks === schwuk is now known as schwuk_away [09:50] * bigcalm is glad to be part of stuff in testing once more [09:50] Though it's frustrating when functionality that you want isn't ready yet :) [09:52] heh [09:53] Getting used to how QML works is difficult for me [09:53] Seems that file names play a big role in things working correctly [10:05] wonder how long my money is going to take to come back through the tubes from paypal [10:25] mine already arrived [10:27] naturally they saw Laney's and said - hey this is a patient guy, we'll just hold onto this... [10:28] maybe they reinvested it on the 1330 at huntingdon for me [10:28] :D [10:28] a hors with your name on [10:28] horse === alan_g is now known as alan_g|vt === alan_g|vt is now known as alan_g [10:46] good morning everyone. [10:48] hey brobostigon [10:48] hey daftykins [11:18] is it just me...the Register causing Firefox hangs? [11:18] plugin-container at 117% [11:23] adblock [11:25] I've removed add-block now [11:26] instead, I just have a ninja profile with adblock installed [11:26] I don't know why I spelt adblock so funny the first time around [11:27] :D [11:29] and, no, plugin-container isn't even running for me [11:49] popey: yes, one of those guys === Guest77088 is now known as mungbean [11:49] from the indiegogo page === mungbean is now known as Guest69235 [12:03] andatche: please sort out your connection :) [12:03] bigcalm: /ignore andatche joins parts quits [12:04] mgdm: I could...

[12:23] cue a zillion quotes [12:23] ;/ [12:24] might be a good samaritan trying to save you some cash [12:24] mungbean_: "To be, or not to be...." [12:24] my names not sarah though [12:24] i keep discovering people with my surname across the US because for some reason they keep signing up my "@gmail.com" to things ;/ [12:25] I have the same problem, due to gmail's bizarre handling of . in the local part [12:25] but then, I don't use gmail as my primary email, so it's not actually that much of an issue [12:25] daftykins: There are another couple of people with the same name as me at work (big company) - most people forget to use the middle initial to distinguish us [12:25] haha, ouch [12:26] firstname.x.surname@ ? [12:26] seems a bit of a bad choice of policy [12:26] daftykins: we've each got multiple email addresses, and actually it's mostly people using the address book to look up by name [12:26] reminds me of those pesky married people changing theirs when working in IT :D [12:26] well it's either that or firstname.surname2@whatever.com... [12:26] i have first initial sruname @ gmail [12:26] bad move [12:27] theres a lot of fbloggs out there [12:27] :D [12:27] mungbean_: ones in america started to try and ask me for my family tree up to the 'Mayflower' ;/ [12:28] i get invited to a lot of job interviews, and family gaterhings [12:29] Good to be popular === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [12:33] if my name was shanice [12:33] Not just at weekends, you mean?

[12:50] dunno yet ☻ [12:50] the first one was fun [12:57] I can't even begin to figure out how that game works [12:58] if only they'd playtested it a little [12:58] that surely would have been a good idea [12:59] its good fun [12:59] http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/374397522/apngasm-foss-animated-png-tools-and-apng-standardi?ref=category [13:00] check the $5k pledge [13:01] o_O [13:02] Twitter deploy their code in a cooler way than I get to :( https://vine.co/v/heaOxhb3w5p [13:02] arduino fans: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2021474419/flutter-20-wireless-arduino-with-half-mile-1km-ran?ref=category === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:38] hi all - anybody know if there is still a way to import .ovpn configuration into network manager? [13:39] I've no idea, though I can't see any reason why not [13:39] you may have to install the openvpn packages though [13:40] sudo apt-get install network-manager-open [13:41] uhm, there's supposed to be vpn on the end of that [13:42] who knows how I forgot it? [13:42] ah, i found it [13:43] awesome [13:43] i was just grabbing "OpenVPN" from the add menu [13:43] and not seeing the "Import a saved configuration" option at the very bottom [13:43] doh [13:43] well done [14:13] linked in search is broken :( [14:13] mungbean_: linkedin is broken. [14:22] linkedin is best avoided [14:33] :-| [14:33] all social notworking, in fairness is :) [14:33] _o_ [14:34] not if doing some stalking [14:35] hah [14:36] is there an equivalent of unity --reset for windows? [14:36] yeah, open task manager and kill explorer.exe [14:37] thnking more along lines of restore to defaults [14:37] something weird about this install [14:37] what are you wanting to reset 0o [14:37] ah. boot the recovery disk and copy the backup registry hive over the main one [14:37] http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 [14:37] all fonts are nastified, and opening word, usually would have a blue background outside thepage boundaries, but it is brilliant white [14:38] fonts are as if the cleartype settings have been deliverately chosen for masximum difficulty in reading [14:40] the wizard doesn't fix it [14:40] and there's no way of restoring to defaults [14:41] is that a bare metal install? 0o [14:41] yesh [14:41] dual boot [14:42] think it all started after plugging a second monitor to the laptop [14:43] hrmm [14:47] has anyone here looked through the new wallpapers? [14:50] No [14:50] oh [14:50] Are they shocking? [14:50] well, I've just looked through them, and many of them seem to be of quite a low quality [14:51] link? [14:52] http://i.imgur.com/SGKisCO.png [14:52] well I just did an apt-get update [14:53] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/08/ubuntu-13-10-winning-wallpapers-revealed [14:53] screnshot of desktop viewed on another monitor shows there is a blue title bar and thing on the left [14:53] and search progs is readable [14:53] so look at the 4th one (it's the white shilohette of the salamander) [14:53] seems pretty conventional mungbean_ [14:53] yes but on the laptop the blue bits arent showing [14:54] mungbean_: right click desktop -> personalise -> picking a theme might force a reload? [14:54] hmm maybe gamma controls [14:54] the jpg is 2560x1600, but it's just an upscaled version of something much smaller [14:55] some of those look quite nice [14:56] HEY ITS FIXED [14:56] the contrast had been changed (possibly by me) from 50 to 55 on the intel graphics options [14:56] the leaf with water droplets is completely out of focus [14:56] completely ruins everything [14:58] SuperMatt: looks liek they are going for single colour themes [14:58] mungbean_: how weird [14:58] I wouldn't exactly characterise those wallpapers as being low quality [14:58] "colour enhancement" my butt [14:59] many of them just aren't right [14:59] so painful looking at those comments [14:59] are the comments about unity? [14:59] nah the wallpaper talk [14:59] they've been submitted at 2560x1600, but when you look at them at native res, not zoomed in or out, many of them are heavily pixelated [15:00] so they've just been upscaled [15:00] you see they say they've not put the originals up on that page, yeah? [15:00] yeah, but the package has landed in saucy [15:00] I'm looking at them right now [15:00] oh right [15:01] whats the default? still the techicolour chunder? [15:03] i don't think a new default has been released [15:03] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-wallpapers/+bug/1216223 aha, it seems that something has gone wrong between the original submissions and being packaged [15:04] Launchpad bug 1216223 in ubuntu-wallpapers (Ubuntu) "Wallpapers for saucy salamander are being modified the wrong way, worsening their quality" [Medium,Confirmed] [15:04] you're right, the default hasn't been released yet [15:07] how long are flapjacks edible for? [15:07] no mould visible yet [15:08] also...if i upgrade to raring kernel in precise, do i need to upgrade to the xserver-xorg-raring too? [15:08] when i make them you need power tools to get them apart :> (flapjack) [15:09] always best eaten from the oven :D [15:09] 10 days old [15:09] atm [15:10] what's the worst that could happen ^_^ [15:10] i die [15:10] everybody dies [15:11] the universe implodes [15:11] sucks when people don't spot a rhetorical question :( [15:11] glad you stopped me when you did [15:11] i just ate one anyway [15:12] i can feel the fartrs coming already [15:12] 5 farts per flapjack [15:12] too much info [15:14] Have to say, this phone is satisfying my lust for applying updates [15:14] i turned that off [15:15] You turned off farts? [15:15] i wish [15:15] or at least my wife wishes [15:23] so regarding the other question...anyone done the install of xserver-xorg-lts-raring? [15:28] this is why everything is quiet? http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1308/meeting/21887/intro-and-keynote/ [15:32] mungbean_: yeah, uds day [17:04] so lets see, everything on there is in UTC, and we're UTC +1 hmm [17:06] bah missed the virtualisation one [17:07] :( [17:07] things are often better recorded over live :D [17:08] yeh at least they're up on Youtube [17:08] heh that dev summit link keeps changing video source [17:08] someones dancing on the inputs === schwuk is now known as schwuk_away === max_ is now known as hdsler_ [17:35] oh dear - the youtube suggestions after watching 'virtualization stack work for saucy' are erm saucy [17:35] >_< [17:35] i did think the name was a bit... dangerous [17:35] well, two lots of Miley Cirus and oddly the Lock Ness Monster [17:36] hahaha [17:36] saucy Nessy [17:36] i checked a 1.5TB drive i pulled from a clients array [17:37] sure enough - 1,300 odd sectors pending reallocation [17:37] i seem to be finding record breaking HDD deaths recently :D [17:38] after the keynote session all the suggested videos were some american popstar "twerking" [17:38] yeh I think that's the same one [17:47] I'm impressed you found them at all. still looking :/ [17:48] the link from http://uds.ubuntu.com/agenda/ appears to be to something completely unrelated [17:48] shauno: Yeh they didn't make it easy [17:48] http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1308/2013-08-27/ [17:49] ah, I'd apparently found an entirely different subsite. nice start. thanks [17:49] tracks -> tuesday from that page [17:52] ali1234: yeah, I learned about twerking from the Ubuntu Developer Summit too [17:54] kinda fond of the lack of updates on this BigV debian 6 VPS [17:56] daftykins: Yeh my mail server is still on the non-BigV bytemark stuff [17:56] * popey points AlanBell at http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1308/meeting/21947/client-1308-touch-1404-a11y/ [17:57] penguin42: ah yeah - i helped my friends with those. are you planning to migrate eventually? [17:57] daftykins: Yeh I should sometime - I think BigV is cheaper [17:57] penguin42: they did have some node issues a while back, once all the instances were frozen and had to be rebooted manually [17:58] their CLI tool is great though, just a quick "vm restart " and it was done :> [17:58] i'm using the BigV VPS with their 'symbiosis' setup, which allows administration pretty much solely via config file creation over SFTP/SCP [17:58] daftykins: Especially after they rememberd to close the VNC console bug? [17:59] oh? not familiar with that [17:59] daftykins: Ah I can't remember the details; but I think there was a 'reboot' button on the interface and that didn't need any auth [18:00] ooh-err [18:06] daftykins: https://forum.bytemark.co.uk/comments.php?DiscussionID=4076&page=1#Item_0 [18:07] penguin42: thanks, having a read [18:24] penguin42: not even sure of my management IP XD [18:26] penguin42: come to think of it i think i didn't create mine until 2013 so i'm set :) [18:26] early adopters got burnt === GentileBen is now known as CrispinOnTheCan === CrispinOnTheCan is now known as GentileBen [20:01] Damnit, there's a proxy service that you put in your browser, then it sends all requests to blocked sites through them [20:01] then you don't have to go hunting for proxies manually every time [20:01] but I can't remember the name of it [20:02] Monotoko2: You want a proxy site for hard to remember proxy sites [20:02] penguin42: it gives you a file that you put in your browser [20:02] then when you go to a blocked site, it uses there's instead [20:02] otherwise it uses your connection [20:03] it begins with I if I recall right [20:07] i'm sure there's other chans for that kind of request [20:07] :P [20:08] mungbean_: not remembering it is driving me absolutely nuts [20:09] whats the name of the process that runs the panel in the top right of the screen? [20:11] * Monotoko2 headdesks [20:11] I swear hidemyass isn't supposed to be blocked [20:12] unless Virgin have taken to blocking generic proxies [20:19] Monotoko2, it's got the word "ass" so it's blocked by pr0nfilter like essex uni [20:19] [20:22] reminds me of an article I read recently; a site kept failing to display properly. turned out it was because one of the devs had a potty mouth, and some of his more colourful comments in the .css caused the file to get blocked by various things [20:22] bwaha :) [20:23] shauno: what about the news site with the article about the "gas explosion" (one word in Dutch: gasexplosie) [20:24] shauno: Or the one mentioning magic powers ("toverkracht", "verkracht" means "raped") [20:25] I'm watching a TV show with dutch subtitles. I'm more and more inclined to believe it's not a real language [20:25] i wonder if it will ever become 2nd language in netherlands.. [20:25] shauno: I get a similar feeling when I channel-surf past BBC Alba [20:26] shauno: "This must be a joke channel.. right? People don't talk like that?" [20:26] what's alba? [20:26] mungbean_: http://www.bbc.co.uk/alba/ [20:26] I guess it's Scotland [20:26] but it looks Irishish? [20:27] they're related [20:27] hence the extra "ish" :) [20:28] brythonic is the word you're looking for ;) [20:29] my son says dominoeses ...reminds me of gollum [20:29] hm, or not. that's what I get for trying to look clever [20:29] mungbean_: preciousss :) [20:44] seriously, overwinning? that's a word? [21:08] shauno, sounds like something that matrin sheen would say [21:10] no, I don't mean martin [21:10] his son [21:10] I really need to turn these silly subtitles off. I'm spending more time watching all these crazy words, than actually watching the show [21:11] charlie sheen [21:11] I had to google his name [21:12] shows how out of touch I am :-p [21:15] oh joy of joys: quote: "SOPA is back. Well, one of the harshest and most ridiculous parts of it, anyway. The Obama Administration wants to make unauthorized streaming a felony -- with years of jail time. [21:15] If this passes, sharing a video of yourself singing karaoke could land you in prison. Singing “Happy Birthday” with your family and videotaping it would be a felony. Click here to say NO to SOPA censorship." [21:16] obviously I didn't mean to copy+paste the click here bit [21:16] and no, you can't click there [21:16] :-p [22:34] Hi, [22:34] I'm the sysadmin at ZyNet, I was informed at 22:45 that our main server [22:34] (Neville) has gone down. I can't connect via SSH or HTTP so went to your [22:34] control panel to do some troubleshooting. However [22:34] https://cp.flexiscale.comis down and I am unable to connect from this [22:34] PC or any other PC. [22:34] I then tried to use your API to at least see if I could reboot our affected [22:34] server, however I'm unable to connect to that either. [22:34] I'm sorry to email you out of hours but that is our main server and we need [22:34] it up ASAP. [22:34] Regards, [22:34] ........... [22:34] I apologise, please ignore that [22:34] oh sure... [22:34] * penguin42 takes away Monotoko2's paste button [22:35] penguin42: I have irssi in a putty window [22:35] right click is paste -.- [22:35] i right clicked thinking I could open another tab because that's what I usually do under Linux [22:46] this is why i use a gui irc client [22:46] even if i paste accidentally i still have to press return before it sends it [22:52] ali1234: true, but I can pull this screen up from any machine which is why I use it.
