[06:27] gooooooooood MORNING UK [06:32] oh man [06:33] trying to set up a new computer and I can't decide what I should do with this [06:33] I suppose the first step would be to encrypt the home dir [06:33] and change the username [06:33] or change the username [06:33] and then encrypt it, rather [06:36] I'd recommend coffee, personally [06:36] Bacon [06:37] oh I've been up until six [06:37] been to a conference call too [06:37] I woke at 5am today... [06:37] I suppose tea would be a good idea [06:37] tea and eggs and tomato [06:38] Just had a lovely Bacon & Sausage roll from the van near Jewsons. Covered in hot chilli sauce. Nom, nom nom... [06:40] mmm [07:41] Morning all [07:43] Love this picture http://qz.com/132738/the-highly-unusual-company-behind-siracha-the-worlds-coolest-hot-sauce/ and love Sriracha too... [07:45] tesco now sell own-brand finest siracha [07:45] Fascinating article: "Fong Foods has neither employed a single salesman nor spent a cent on advertising. Advertising would merely widen the gap between demand and supply even further. ”I don’t advertise, because I can’t advertise,” Tran explained..." [07:45] apparently our datacentre is moving at 0.5mph... [07:47] Looks good TheOpenSourcerer, never tried it... will buy some tonight === schwuk_away is now known as schwuk === iahmad is now known as iahmad|afk [08:19] popey: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Minecraft-Unlikely-Persson-Changed-Everything/dp/1609805372 [08:19] popey: but you probably already have that pre-ordered ;) [08:25] Good morning all; happy CAPS LOCK DAY! :-D [08:27] JamesTait: CAPS LOCK DAY? DON'T YOU MEAN HEADACHE DAY? [08:28] I may come to regret bringing this to people's attention. ;) [08:37] a professor said to me: "using windows 8 for the first time was quite easy because i am used to gnome3" [08:39] there's a minecraft episode of south park, it's very good [08:40] do they still make SP? [08:42] mungbean_, yes [08:44] i've never watched an episode [08:44] must have been going 15 yrs or so [08:46] almost as long as the Simpsons [08:48] not quite [08:48] south park started in 1997 [08:48] the simpsons in the late 80s [08:57] I haven't seen SP for maybe 10 years [09:01] quality varies. some episodes are incredible [09:02] i wouldn't bother watching anything from before the movie, really [09:20] Good morning peeps :) [09:21] Oh poop! [09:21] T - 3 days 5 hours [09:21] Morning bigcalm [09:21] Hi diplo [09:32] good morning everyone. [09:34] mornin all [09:35] morning diddledan === iahmad|afk is now known as iahmad [09:51] Bit of mysql help/thoughts.. Ive got a stock table with id/part numbers etc, a supplier has sent us a list of 52k of there products in a csb [09:51] csv* [09:52] I've imported that csv into the same db as the stock table, want to see how many of their PartNumbers matchc our stock_num [09:52] I'm having a serious blank on the best way to approach this [10:01] diplo: select * from supplier_parts inner join your_parts on supplier_parts.PartNumber = your_parts.stock_num [10:01] diplo: or some such [10:03] Latest interesting Saucy manifestation : notifiers appear as little blue text boxes top left instead of attractive shaded panels top right [10:03] Hmm hadn't tried innerjoin. Trying now ta mgdm [10:04] diplo: inner join is "everything from the left with a match on the right" [10:05] Top man, 3 hours sleep has ruined my brain today. 4882 matches, better than writing them up manually :) [10:07] woohoo :) [10:11] Now to write a script to upload the info to the correct locations and upload images. [10:11] thanks again [10:12] Morning all [10:24] diplo, you too on the 3 hours sleep thing?! :-p [10:24] diplo: I disappeared to the land-of-nod about 6:30am up again about 3.5-4 hours later [10:26] diplo! long time no see :) [10:31] yeah, 2am and up at 4:30/5 [10:31] then kids in at 6 [10:31] :( [10:36] crucial are recommending RAM that runs at 10600, although 12800 speed works too. any reason why i shouldn't get the 12800 RAM for the same price [10:44] Anyone downloaded from Skydrive site under linux before, getting no errors but it goes off when I click download, grabs a load of js files and then stops [10:44] mungbean_, probably not [10:44] diplo, has worked for me fine in the past [10:44] ta [10:45] its still in the compatible list [10:45] mungbean_, *probably*. if you're asking the question you are probably not in the class of users where it matters [10:45] I'll persist ta [10:45] well the ram will run at 10600 [10:45] but is perhaps more future prroof if i update my pc at some point [10:46] yes, it'll run at the lower speed. it may not run the same SPD timings at the lower speed as at the high speed, and possibly not the same when running at the lower speed as the RAM rated for the lower speed [10:46] but you're unlikely to care, unless you know what SPD stands for [10:47] strange peripheral device* [10:47] :-p [10:50] Hmm firefox issue [10:51] Working under Chromium, well apart from it started it twice when I clicked it once [10:51] Still awful speeds though :/ [10:57] What Firefox issue? [10:57] Ah, the hang on JS download. [10:58] If you're interested in shooting troubles around a bit, check this out. https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode [11:03] The download wouldn;t start full stop, I use FF for dev all the time, only issue so far has been the skydrive site [11:03] But looking at that link anyhoo [11:26] bug 1242912 [11:26] bug 1242912 in software-properties (Ubuntu) "Software and updates does not work" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1242912 [11:26] bug 1241416 [11:26] bug 1241416 in apport (Ubuntu) "No action after clicking 'report crash' button" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1241416 [11:30] That last one doesn't sound like a bug to me [11:31] ditto [11:37] a bug in the bug reporting tool. Meta! :) [11:41] MartijnVdS: You need to go deeper. [11:42] my sis appears to be a reasonable forger http://i.imgur.com/wVRZipP.jpg [11:44] it annoys me when people have obivous musical and artistic talent and never use it [11:48] so far my 13.10 experience has been pretty good, although I had a few crash dialogs at the beginning === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [11:56] whoop, I found my tea! [11:56] was getting a bit annoyed after looking everywhere for it [11:58] Myrtti: congratulations. what kind of tea is in question here? [11:58] Yorkshire Hard Water [11:59] thats in every supermarket in uK [11:59] yes [12:00] we bought a pack of 240 in May before I flew to Finland [12:00] wanted my morning brew this morning and couldn't find it anywhere [12:00] it was stashed on top of the kitchen cupboards [12:00] no wonder I couldn't find it [12:01] online/shopping/unity is enabled on the livecd - how do i disable? [12:20] dpkg -l | grep amazon [12:20] remove what comes up [12:20] or maybe grep for shopping, actually [12:20] isn't there a proper way? [12:20] via the dash? [12:21] Probably [12:21] privacy [12:21] disabled online search [12:23] dash is not behaving [12:23] sorry, launcher [12:27] if i have an ecnrypted home partition is there anything i need to do before reinstalling a OS while keep the home partition? [12:27] how is it encrypted? [12:28] actually, looks like i only have /home/user/.Private [12:28] you need to use ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase then [12:28] cheers [12:28] (while booted to the old OS) === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [12:48] oh fail. i hadn't created a separate /home. thats what happens when you triple boot [12:55] you dont need separate home [12:55] I do it out of habit [12:56] and lack of trust for installers to do the right thing [12:59] that too [13:01] resize2fs is taking rather long :@ [13:05] * TheOpenSourcerer read that as reiserfs... Used to use that a lot... [13:07] there was resize2fs that made it as far as Debian stable with an infinite-loop bug in it [13:08] I can't remember exactly the circumstances that trigger it, but I think it was only when shrinking [13:08] ah [13:08] (and so if it's taking you forever it might be that) [13:08] i'm shrinking [13:08] you know what, i think i've been bit by this before [13:09] Hm. I didn't note down the bug, but it's whatever was in Debian Stable on 2013-02-28 [13:10] i wonder if you can ctrl C it [13:10] which I think was the very end of Squeeze? [13:10] yeah, my logs from when it happened say I ctrl-Ced it, e2fscked it and it was okay [13:11] tghanks [13:11] * TheOpenSourcerer now has "Cool for Cats" as his earworm for the afternoon... Thanks BigRedS [13:12] you poor thing [13:12] having only just got rid of "Shopping at Lidl's" :-( [13:12] Thanks to AlanBell [13:12] haha [13:20] centos gparted won't resize anything. weird [13:20] they aren't mounted or anything funky === prmr_ is now known as prmr [13:34] mungbean_: I recall that some standard ext4 flags cause resize2fs to complain that it can't resize when they're turned on - problem is there's no way of turning them off once they're on [13:35] weird [13:35] booting a 13.10 usb to try [13:35] imagewriter doesn't write ubuntu images anymroe :S [13:40] lol. type parted and it apps appear under online results [13:44] os x mavericks (the yet-to-be-released version 10.9) is pretty decent [13:45] BigRedS: thanks. took 15 seconds in 13.10 [13:45] nasty bug [13:45] consdering thats what i tend to use usb live for [13:45] mungbean_: ouch [13:46] that is nasty as you're already messing with the filesystem you want the util to be rock solid [13:47] What do you guys use for backing up windows machines that are broke, not done so much recently but used to use old ubuntus, just worried the machine I'm going to fix tonight is a bit old and unity may be to heavy [13:47] Going to take one anyway, just wondering if anyone else uses any other live cd [13:48] diplo: clonezilla [13:48] dd [13:48] Wasn't going to image it, more mount with a live disc and copy to a usb drive [13:48] Is what I normally do [13:49] xubuntu [13:49] Do they come with ntfs-3g already on the live disc does anyone know ? [13:49] iirc, clonezilla is filesystem-aware, not sure which filesystems it can handle, though [13:50] Hmm might as well try before I go I guess.. be more sensible [13:50] exit [13:50] gah [13:50] there's always "ghost for unix" or g4u, diplo - you can FTP an NTFS partiton into a gzip archive [13:50] Only really want images/files etc, not overly worried about the machine itself [13:51] Anyone know why Ubuntu changed the "halt" alias to not call shutdown "-h" ? So it doesn't do a power down any more? [13:51] ali1234: What was the PI thing I saw earlier ? [13:52] Going to try Xubuntu, already have ghost etc if it comes to that [13:52] Even worse, it's vista :( [13:52] Anyway - time to head off chaps and chapesses. have to take kids swimming shortly... Laterz [13:53] hah did mine yesterday, laters TheOpenSourcerer [13:53] today is going slowly [13:54] Mines going quickly until now, I've lost my will now :) [13:54] 3pm is my natural lull [13:54] yeah, I've just noticed it's not even quite 3 yet [13:54] diplo: on g+? [13:54] yeah [13:54] I think going for lunch at 10:30 might have been a mistake [13:54] I thought it was only 1ish, so I'm quite happy [13:54] diplo: this, with a custom circuit for raspberry pi: https://github.com/ali1234/avr-teletext [13:54] lol BigRedS, you think :D [13:56] Nice, although was there a reason behind the project or just tinkering ? === alan_g is now known as alan_g|afk === alan_g|afk is now known as alan_g [14:20] ok. bad idea. i wrote the ecrypt unwrap password inside my home folder [14:23] Is there some way to make the joint email-and-jabber indicator into two, one for emails and one for jabbers? [14:25] Today I learned that Windows Server 2008 has NFS client and server capabilities. [14:25] If you work that out BigRedS I'd be happy to know :) [14:26] Didn't 2K3 as well dwatkins ? [14:27] no idea, diplo - only just found out about it [14:27] r2 defo did I'm sure [14:27] yup [14:27] ah ok, I'm still shocked that it exists, and it makes me feel rather strange [14:27] We nearly used it at one point I think and then decided against it [14:27] hah [14:28] I imagine case-sensitivity is a fun problem with it. [14:28] what is that thing called? Message indicator? [14:29] can you mount .Private when its in a different directory? [14:30] just mount it as ecryptfs partition? [14:30] BigRedS: indicator-applets and messaging-menu integrators [14:30] ? [14:30] * diplo has never played with encryption so keeps mouth shut :) === alan_g is now known as alan_g|tea [14:31] hurm... what's a good way to automatically restart openvpn if it fails? [14:32] monit? [14:32] dwatkins: it's been removed from 2012 [14:32] diddledan: oh wow, it was that bad? ;) [14:32] lol [14:33] it disappeared along with the "subsystem for unix applications" [14:33] both of which were originally part of interix which microsoft bought and called services for unix for a wile [14:33] while* [14:40] i've really got my knickers in a twist [14:40] Anyone know if Gnome 3 also does that? I don't think I used a graphical mail client with that [14:40] with this stupid encrypted home dir [14:41] I've not yet ever had to debug it [14:41] and, were I to, I'd probably blow it away and start again :) === alan_g|tea is now known as alan_g [14:43] * diplo is booting Xbuntu, I prefer the loading screen for a start [14:43] Looks quite professional [14:44] hah, yeah I'm just pondering Ubuntu [14:45] Apparently that shared messaging icon thing is a massive pain for everyone who's got unity, and it's probably easiest for me to just install xfce [14:46] Blimey, thunar has come on leaps and bounds since I last used it [14:47] Do Ubuntu mail clients understand the SMB convention \\servername\share\directory\file so you can click the link in a mail to open up your chosen file explorer to this location? [14:48] hmm, this is actually quite nice [14:49] SuperMatt: upstart-application script maybe? [14:49] dwatkins: I don't know for sure, but I would guess not. [14:50] I suspected as much, diddledan - which is a good thing, as it's not a URL [14:50] I prefer smb://server/something/etc/etc/ [14:51] yeah, I much prefer URLs (I never did work out the difference between a URL and a URI) [14:51] davmor2: I thought about upstart, but one end if debian [14:51] no upstart there [14:51] HTTP is a URI, as is SMB, I think - possibly including the :// [14:52] I think my plan is to attempt to ping one side from the other. If it aint up, it restarts [14:52] yeah, example of a URI is HTTP: [14:53] dwatkins: isn't that the scheme part of a URI? [14:59] oh, now I'm completely confused, then, BigRedS [15:00] Actually, I thought a URL was composed of [scheme]://[host][uri] [15:00] but I don't know why I thought that [15:01] lol @ email I got from a colleague: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6283414/ [15:01] and the wiki page on 'URL' doesn't have enough pictures for me to immediately believe to to be particularly disambiguating [15:02] uri [15:02] oops [15:03] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_resource_identifier [15:03] more confusion [15:04] ok, so a URL is actually an implementation of a URI [15:05] and ISBN for books is a URN or another implementation of a URI [15:05] Oh, right [15:06] URLs tell you where something is and URNs uniquely identify what that something is - both are forms of URI [15:07] Busy then diddledan :) [15:07] diplo: I'm procrastinating :-p [15:08] :) [15:11] diplo: I filed a bug against what might or might not be that indicator: bug 1243240 [15:11] bug 1243240 in indicator-messages (Ubuntu) "It is unclear what sort of unread message is being indicated" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1243240 === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [15:21] It's been like that since forever hasn't it though ? No other bugs setup ? [15:23] Anyhoo, I'm going to skive off for the last 20 mins as noone is here and I also didn't take a lunch so not really skiving :) [15:23] Catch you all either later or tomorrow [15:23] :) [15:23] you don't have to justify it to us ;) [15:23] tata [15:23] heh, BigRedS added myself to it btw [15:23] you only have to justify it to the paymaster [15:23] :-p [15:29] *wookie* [15:29] aka neeeaaaarrrgggghhhh [15:30] ^^^^ I was stretching [15:32] I couldn't find any other bugs, but I wasn't really sure what to look for [15:32] it's probably been like that for a while, but I've only been using Thunderbird for about a fortnight [15:32] xfce is having "problems" with indicators at the moment [15:33] 719139389 hours left on a download [15:33] methinks it's stalled [15:33] bug 1208204 [15:33] bug 1208204 in indicator-sound (Ubuntu) "indicator-sound no longer functions with xfce4-indicator-plugin" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1208204 [15:33] bug 1203888 [15:33] bug 1203888 in libappindicator (Ubuntu) "appindicator ignores menu entries after having sent the menu to the indicator" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1203888 [15:33] aloha [15:33] c [15:33] bug 1238997 [15:33] bug 1238997 in xfce4-panel (Ubuntu) "Add support for GTK3 panel indicators" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1238997 [15:34] basically indicators are a complete mess ootb on xubuntu [15:34] and the only reasonable way to fix it is to build bleeding edge versions of the panel from upstream git [15:35] so that's only 82thousand years [15:35] hi, i'm try to start backing up my home directory with rsync and i've got a list of directories I'm try to exclude including .local/Trash, etc. I've got these stored in a text file, one per line, but i think i must have some command line syntax wrong, since the directories are not being excluded. The command I'm trying is: rsync --dry-run -avz --delete --compress-level=9 --exclude-from=celesteh/rsync-exclude-list.txt --delete-exclu [15:35] ded celesteh user@server.rsync.net: > /tmp/dry.txt [15:35] give or take a hundred or so [15:36] annoyingly, the fixed up xfce4-panel was ready in time for saucy, but nobody could figure out how to package it in time [15:36] myself included [15:36] yet another example of packaging being harder than writing the software in the first place [15:45] czajkowski: Hello see your pm you have a message [15:45] does anyone have an example of an rsync-exclude file they don't mind sharing? [15:48] I don't, sorry [15:57] celesteh: there is a listing on the ubuntu server guide for backups that might give you a clue if that helps [15:57] cheers, davmor2 [15:58] It appears that the exlcude file can't just list directories, but they all need to be relative paths and end with /* [15:59] which is annoying because then it includes the directory [15:59] but at least it ends up empty [16:00] davmor2: I ahve now sorry was on a clal [16:00] *call [16:00] bah [16:24] oh geez, I just noticed some extremely bad times I could have had with my caching proxy [16:24] SuperMatt: were they dirty dirty times? [16:24] if so, pictures please! [16:24] we have fail2ban installed on our webserver, so the caching proxy could request a few sites (phpmyadmin, whatever), and then be banned from the webserver [16:25] \o/ [16:25] good job I thought of that before putting this in to production [16:25] fail2ban ftw [16:25] sure, just remember if you have a caching proxy to put in some exceptions ;) [16:26] I have a client who outsourced their hosting to a different company than mine who's server uses fail2ban and rather draconian rate limiting - my deployment script used ssh liberally so I'd get half way through a deployment and then get locked out [16:26] I've since modified it to use pipelining [16:28] ugg [16:28] slap them!
