diddledanmy cpufan is going like stink on a newly installed server-12.04. I'm assuming the server release doesn't include any speedstep out-of-the-box?01:08
daftykinsseems likely01:09

diddledanI think I'm going to replace the cpu-cooler on this machine01:41
daftykinsunrelated?01:41
diddledanworryingly when I inherited the box the cooler wasn't fastened to the board properly so I'm wondering now whether there was any thermal grease01:42
diddledanit's currently being sensed as running at 70C and that was climbing before I turned down the cpu frequency01:43
diddledanunrelated but a similar issue is the nvidia quadro vga card seems to be getting too hot also01:44
daftykinsthermal paste for them both perhaps :D01:45
diddledanlm-sensors is a useful thing01:47

dwatkins_This could be interesting, in several ways.08:18

MartijnVdSdwatkins: :( poor you08:19
dwatkinsMartijnVdS: yeah, my employer seems to think it's a good idea, but I'm not so comfortable with having our mailboxes managed by a third party08:20
MartijnVdSdwatkins: And not just any third pary..08:20
MartijnVdS+t08:20
dwatkinsMartijnVdS: indeed, although they're not a competitor, it still means (in theory) that they can read our mail.08:20
MartijnVdSbut they'd NEVER do that, right?08:22

jussimorning all08:41
jussiIm still high from the cocaine... err... medication. but, I need a small bit of advice.08:42
jussiI need a video plugin for chrome that is actually decently useable, not htis totem crap. there used to be mozilla-plugin-vlc - but that doesnt seem to exist any more....08:43
Myrtti"don't joke about substance abuse on an IRC channel publicly logged"?08:43
brobostigonmorning boys and girls.08:43
MartijnVdSMyrtti: maybe he's not joking08:46
MartijnVdSjussi: browser-plugin-vlc - multimedia plugin for web browsers based on VLC08:46
jussiMyrtti: given that the medication is an opiate, it hardly is a joke about substance abuse.08:46
jussiMyrtti: thanks. do you happen to remember the name of the totem plugin so I can remove it?08:47
MartijnVdSjussi: you can just disable it in about://plugins right?08:47
MartijnVdSjussi: "apt-cache search totem plugin" otherwise :)08:48
jussihrm, potentially... let me check.08:48
bigcalmGood morning peeps :)08:49
bigcalmBack on Linux, yay08:49
jussiweird. browser says I have vlc plugin. why then do I have a plugin that I cant adjust where I am in the stream?08:49
MartijnVdSjussi: becuase the site asked the vlc plugin to disallow that?08:51
popeypip pip08:52
jussiMartijnVdS: that would be a suprise, as the stream is playable on my android phone and I can do that...08:52
popeyjussi: i personally never use embedded video players. i tend to extract the stream url and launch vlc or mplayer manually08:53
DJonesWhy does the font/text/update window for the Java updater on windows looks like something that was designed to run on Windows 3.008:53
jussiooh, now vlc just crashes... lovely. and there is a nice typo bug there...08:53
DJonesUgh, looks awefull08:54
jussibah, ubuntu's screenshot app is very poor08:54
jussiits funny, all the little things Im used to in kubuntu...08:55

SuperMattmy boss seems to have done the incomprehensible. I created a backup script which uses rsync and hard links to make daily backups of a server. I originally set the script to keep 30 days worth, and the boss has reduced it to 709:06
SuperMattbecause it's hard links, those extra 23 days really don't take up any extra space09:07
popeysure they do09:07
popeydeltas09:07
jussiSuperMatt: does your boss have pointy hair?09:07
MartijnVdSSuperMatt: some kind of data destruction policy?09:08
SuperMattpopey: sure, but a lot of the data I sync changes rarely09:10
SuperMattso it's nice to have a month to spot a mistake, rather than 7 days, or whatever09:10
popeythats annoying then09:13
SuperMattindeed09:14
SuperMattoh well09:14
SuperMatthe's obviously done it to get things back to the way he likes it when I leave tomorrow09:14

SuperMattor we're supposed to be celebrating the concept of nothingness?09:31
SuperMatthilarious09:32
JamesTaitI do feel we need some British events on this calendar though.09:32
SuperMattwe'd just end up with national whippet and flatcap day09:34
SuperMattyorkshire pudding day09:34

SuperMattooh yes09:35
SuperMattI would go in for that day09:35
MartijnVdSCornish Pasty Day? Please?09:35
foobarryevery day is pasty day09:35
foobarrysausage sandwich day09:35
SuperMattdammit lads, I now want a sausage sandwich09:36
SuperMattreplete with extra cheese and bacon09:36
shaunoI had a chuckle when I moved to michigan.  turns out the upper peninsula is full of cornish immigrants (where there's tin mines, there's cornish ..).  So they thought pasties were a local thing09:37
popeypoached egg day09:37
shaunomuch confusion when the 'foreigner' required no introduction to pasties09:38
MartijnVdSheh09:38
MartijnVdSshauno: weird 'muricans09:39
SuperMattpasties... just smaller, less cheesey calzones09:39
MartijnVdSSuperMatt: a bit less tomato-ey as well09:39
MartijnVdSand fewer "Italian" herbs :)09:39
foobarryMartijnVdS: ali1234 apparently there is an app called aemulor which is nonfree, but lets you play old games on the risc os on the pi09:39
SuperMattI guess it all really depends on the pastie09:39

MartijnVdS\o/ vim09:46
SuperMattin the day of print media, that wouldn't have swung, but these days there's such a pressure to publish first that too many mistakes are made09:47
foobarryyou would have thought that wtih 24 hr news channels, you might end up with decent news, but it's still politics and death on a rolling 20 minute repeat09:52
bigcalmJust disconnected from a client's VPN and noticed that Skype disconnected/reconnected09:58
bigcalmThat's somewhat disturbing09:58
diplobigcalm: Sounds like VPN is using remote gateway10:00
MartijnVdSor skype just bindly reconnects on every network device change10:05
bigcalmSilly computers10:09
DJonesAlanBell: Are you around for a pm, no rush if you're busy, just want to pick your brains on software for tyre management/stock control/invoicing etc and see if you've come across anything in the opensource market10:11
jussiDJones: doesnt openerp cover tht pretty well ?10:22
jussioh I so want to eat warm things again...10:23
DJonesjussi: Yeah probably, but I suspect we'd need a pre-developed system rather than have to install openerp and then internally develop the system ourselves10:26
DJonesWe also want to move to a hosted system accessable via the web & a web browser if possible, rather than having a system installed on our own machines, current system is pretty old and doesn't really work with multiple depots as a single system, have to have an install at each depot which updates the main system daily via a modem rather than via the web10:28
jussiDJones: guessing you havent seen openerp recently ?10:34
DJonesjussi: No, its not something I've ever used10:34
jussiDJones: go have a look over it - it has improved significantly recently10:35
jussihttps://www.openerp.com/10:35
jussihas lots of built in "applications" - like POS, management etc10:35
MartijnVdSit has a built-in Piece of Sh*t app?10:36
jussiMartijnVdS: Point of Sales...10:36
DJonesjussi: I've got no doubt it would do most, if not all, things we need, the problem would be getting it up and running in the an industry standard way firstly, linking to 3rd party supplier/customer systems etc, thats without trying to teach a tyre fitter how to switch a computer/tablet on & actually use it to process job sheets10:40
=== roht is now known as wadzi
jussiDJones: yeah, I hear you. guess AlanBell is your man for that...10:41
DJonesThats more why we'd look for a system already in use first, 1) So we could see how it works and 2) to reduce the setup/configuration needed10:41
jussihrm... cold, throat friendly things that are still satisfying.... nope, I couldnt think of any either10:45
DJonesjussi: Fishermens Friend's they're good for bad throats10:46
jussiDJones: not this kind of bad throat, sadly. (had tonsils out)10:47
DJonesAh, Chocolate Ice cream?10:47
jussiyeah, ice cream is good. but gets boring after a while. I wish for a nice roast dinner.... :P10:48
jussior a hearty winter stew10:48
jussior even a meat pie!10:48
DJonesHeh10:48
jussicanned fruit salad and ice cream... not so nice when you ar hungry10:49
DJonesI can believe that, my wife had a gastric bypass 12 months ago which probably had similar effects on dietry requirement, she had a month of eating pretty much liquidised/very soft food10:51
AlanBellDJones: hi, just reading back . . .10:51
jussiDJones: I think tomorrow I can have warm stuff already - depends on the soreness. if it continues the same then tomorrow is looking good10:51
jussibtw, anyone know how to make the fingerprint reader on this hp work ?10:52
DJonesAlanBell: The question is more whether you've come across any tyre depot management software, I guess ideally opensource, but that may well be unlikely due to the small market10:53
AlanBellDJones: what third party system links would it need?10:53
DJonesAlanBell: It has to link to places like Michelin, Goodyear etc for price databases, but the big area is that we have to enter job sheets into a 3rd party system to get authorisation codes before producing invoices and then both systems have to be updated with information from both systems, thats a couple of 3rd party systems that use similar idea but different processing methods10:56
DJonesI think in reality, its unlikly that outside of commercial systems that there would be anything available10:57
AlanBellyeah, I would start with OpenERP and develop custom modules to do the interfacing10:58
DJonesTHis is what we use now http://www.teamsystems.co.uk/Default.asp?page=software but it seems archaic and not particularly updated/developed10:59
AlanBelland do some other UI tweaks for presenting the invoices with the 4 wheels with alignment information and so on10:59
DJonesThats the sort of thing I'd expect, although I suspect the directors would probably go down the line of using a 'known industry system' rather than having to have something developed & integrated themselves11:01
davmor2Morning all11:01
DJonesThere's probably also an issue in terms of getting approval from the 3rd party systems to link an unknown/new system into their systems11:02
davmor2Today I've decided is going to be a good day, so everyone enjoy it :D11:02
AlanBellDJones: yeah, vertical solutions are sometimes the path of least resistance :)11:02
DJonesSadly yes11:02
davmor2bigcalm: how did you get on with you Desktop?11:03
AlanBellhowever, sometimes they are trying to extract so much money from the sector that it is worth taking a new approach11:03
AlanBellDJones: could you form a consortium of competitors to fund/build a new open source industry solution?11:04
DJonesAlanBell: I doubt it, the market is pretty small once you exclude the big national chains, we're probably one of the biggest outside the nationals, smaller firms probably wouldn't be as concerned with the limitations of the existing systems11:06
bigcalmdavmor2: fixed it by taring up my home dir, sending it to my server, reinstalling Ubuntu 13.10, copying my home dir back11:13
davmor2bigcalm: that's way drastic why did you need to do that?  And then did you do some work in the end ;)11:14
bigcalmdavmor2: I went to bed at 00:15 once I had reinstalled enough packages to start work this morning11:14
bigcalmdavmor2: I got fed up and did what I knew would work11:15
bigcalmdavmor2: making do with the free driver11:15
bigcalmdavmor2: I'm going to have hell with my new laptop next week, aren't I?11:15
davmor2bigcalm: Why?  Should be modernish hardware and just work11:16
MartijnVdSyay modern hardware :)11:16
bigcalmdavmor2: my workstation is less than a year old11:16
DJonesbigcalm: Is your new laptop dual graphics? eg intel & nvidia, things like that seem like a pig to get working11:18
davmor2bigcalm: then I don't know why you are having issues.  The only issue I have had is that trustys 3.13 kernel doesn't like hybrid gfx but that will be fixed11:18
davmor2DJones: not any more nvidia released a prime driver just work in 3.11 and 3.12 got broken by a change in 3.13 but that will be fixed soon11:18
DJonesdavmor2: Interesting11:19
DJonesI might consider a new laptop then11:19
davmor2DJones: you need < nvidia-313 and nvidia-prime11:20
DJonesMaybe wait until after bigcalm's got his set up & written up his blog about issues and how to fix them :)11:20
davmor2bigcalm: did you ever say what laptop you were getting?11:21
DJonesI like the look of the Lenovo y510p11:29
davmor2and that knock at the door will be my N411:30
DJonesAh well, we won't see you for the rest of the day11:30
bigcalmdavmor2: several times ;) http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-15-7537/pd?oc=cn75305&model_id=inspiron-15-753711:30
* bigcalm hits refresh on the order page - still in China :(11:31
davmor2DJones: I have the Lenovo Ideapad Y580 i7 8GB 1TB hdd with optimus gfx can't fault it bah the stupidly sensitive trackpad with no real buttons11:31
bigcalmdavmor2: this page contains the spec of my workstation: http://www.myrant.net/2013/02/17/multi-screen-with-ubuntu-unity/11:31
DJonesbigcalm: Thats a good price, similar spec to the lenovo, but £200 cheaper11:32
DJonesProcessor slightly different & less memory11:32
bigcalmYeah, I couldn't afford the cost of a decent Lenovo11:33
DJonesIt says optional touch capeability, or is it just touchscreen anyway, seems to be two different statements on the website11:35
bigcalmDJones: yeah, bit odd that. I think it's coming with a touch screen. There weren't any options to change the hardware configuration11:36
DJonesI might well be tempted by that, I'll keep watching to see how you get on11:37
DJonesSpecially if I can persuade work to buy it for me :)11:38
dwatkinsI just saw someone receive an iPad they won from a competition, I can barely believe my eyes.11:38

davmor2bigcalm: you leaving windows 8 on it (we know how you hate freedom :P)11:54
jussihrm, never tought cold meatballs could taste so good...11:56
bigcalmdavmor2: remember that SSD I returned to OCZ? They sent a replacement that has yet to be used in anything. So I'll swap out the HDD for the SSD before Windows 8 gets a chance to irritate me at all11:58

bigcalmBut will the kernel and nvidia be ready? :)12:37
davmor2bigcalm: depends I didn't look at the gfx, if it is dedicated or intel, then yes if it is optimus possibly not but the intel gfx part of it works fine12:38
MartijnVdSbigcalm: I don't know, I avoid nvidia12:38

popeyhttp://www.beerorkid.com/2007/04/michael-dell-uses-ubuntu-and-automatix/12:52
foobarryprobably stopped when his upgrade failed12:52
foobarryi can see why it was created though. it was neceesary to fill a gap12:52
foobarryeither all but 5 of my friends have stopped facebooking or facebook just doesn't wnt to show me their stuff anymore12:54
foobarryor both12:55
popeywell facebook deliberately limits what you see12:56
popeythey believe you'd get a firehose every time you login otherwise12:56
MartijnVdSI've been using it less and less12:56
shaunoironically, the best solution seems to be to have as few friends as possible12:56
foobarrynice of them to choose who i want to see13:01
foobarryi tend to hide people or unfriend them if i'm not interested in their waffle13:01
MartijnVdSfoobarry: oh you influence it, by liking things you get to see more by that person13:02
MartijnVdSfoobarry: and by commenting etc.13:02
popey\o/ 3213:02
foobarryon a related note, can i filter on twitter stream?13:02
MartijnVdSfoobarry: yes, unfollow13:02
popeyyes, if you use a different client13:02
popeyi use tweetdeck13:02
popeyhas good filtering options13:02
MartijnVdSfoobarry: or make lists and put someine in some lists but not others13:02
shaunoheh, I'm somewhere around the 30 mark too13:02
foobarryi want to filter the content from a user, to reduce the spam but only get interesting bits13:03
popeyi unfollow noisy people and put them in a "noisy people" list13:04
popeywhich is a separate column off to the right on tweetdeck13:04
popeywhich i rarely look at13:04
popeyhttp://imgur.com/Yfksghl13:04
popeywhat my tweetdeck looks like13:05
popeywith noisy people off screen (along with DMs) on the right13:05
foobarryi'm thinking more about accounts like zinio, kindle, kobo : wanna hear about free books and deals, but not other crap. likewise, if you sign up to the email account you are bomarded linkedin style13:05
foobarrywow. much informations13:05
MartijnVdSsuch offer13:06
foobarryseems strange to companies that i might not want 10 tweets a day from them13:08
MartijnVdSI tend to not follow companies13:08
MartijnVdSthough you could put them in their own list if you want to13:08
popeyditto13:09
foobarrybut you still have to check the list13:09
foobarryand read their crap13:09
MartijnVdSfoobarry: or not, and don't read it unless you feel like it13:09
popeyi also actively unfollow anyone who promotes a tweet13:09
popeythe only exception to that so far is nokia13:09
foobarrykindle twitter account have sorted it out now. they only send daily deals13:09
foobarrythats all i wanna see13:10
foobarrykindleuk13:10
* popey creates a 'deals' stream and adds that and hotdeals uk to it13:11
foobarry"When our website goes back online it will not display any self published material until we are completely confident..that inappropriate books can never be shown again"13:11
foobarry^^ whsmith. shame their results are full of smut when i search for tame items13:11

foobarrymk?13:13
popeymarketing13:14
popeyall my lists are two latter abbreviations13:14
foobarrybut if you have the official twitter app on your phone will you see the whole thing? can you filter on that?13:15
popeyno, i dont13:15
popeytwitter app by default only shows who i am following13:15
popeypeople in lists don't have to be followed13:15
foobarrypretty lame13:15
popeyno, perfect13:15

Laneysomething folks13:16
popeyit was the first list I made iirc13:16
popeythe names are somewhat loose ☻13:16
popeycf is basically "close friends" but means "people I probably know in real life and would/do go for beer with, and they tweet quite a bit of interesting stuff, and I also follow them"13:18
popeybut "cf" is shorter13:18
popeyso i see their stuff in the main feed anyway13:18
foobarryi only use twitter when i'm waiting for my evening train13:20

foobarryhttp://www.cocos2d-x.org/issues/370113:49
gone_I've downloaded the source code and installed it13:49
gone_Ok13:49
gone_Wait13:49
directhexthat should give you output in english, which we'll be able to read13:49
ali1234sudo apt-get install libglfw-dev13:49
ali1234also what foobarry said13:50
directhexfoobarry, good job!13:50

foobarrythe workaround is on this page http://www.cocos2d-x.org/forums/6/topics/4250313:50
gone_http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/58463613:50
directhexgone_, thanks, that's definitely the issue foobarry links to, which has a small patch to fix it13:51
gone_I am reading that link13:53
TREllis.313:53
gone_Thanks~13:56
gone_Very helpful13:56
foobarrydid it work?13:56
gone_Trying13:56
shauno"fiery letters" .. I may have to use that one :)13:59
gone_fiery...14:00
MartijnVdSshauno: It's from LotR :)14:00
MartijnVdSshauno: it's what Frodo calls the letters in the ring after it's been in the fire14:00
shaunoah, gotcha14:00
MartijnVdS"The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here."14:01
directhexi believe chinese is significantly different from elvish14:01
directhexelvish script is much more flowing. chinese script is more a series of letters14:01
directhexlogographic14:01
shaunoI always figured elvish was basically welsh14:02
MartijnVdSbut it's "Mordorese" written with Elvish letters14:03
gone_你好=Hello14:04
gone_Sounds like "knee how"14:04
directhexthe only chinese i know i learned from watching a languages show on pre-school TV14:05
directhexhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/lingo-show/14:05
* popey just had chinese for lunch14:05
popeynom nom nom14:05
shaunoI can passably say "hello, do you speak english?".  Which makes me feel like such the stereotype14:06
shaunonot sure I could spell it, however14:06
directhexchinese is rarely taught at school to "general" student populations - the immigrant chinese population isn't high enough in most areas for most schools to offer formal chinese classes, and for foreign language education, western european languages are easier to learn (due to similarities to english)14:07
directhexi have a russian qualification though, and i did a little japanese at school14:07
directhexdon't remember any of it now, mind you14:07
shaunoour school actually offered russian, but you couldn't opt for it unless you were doing acceptably well with your primary "modern language"14:08
MartijnVdSMine offered English (compulsory), French and German. Hated French and German at the time, wished I hadn't dropped them now.14:09
shaunoI'm unconvinced it would have made a difference.  they're very much a "use or it lose it" deal.  I actually passed french, but wouldn't confess to understanding a word anymore14:11
Myrttiooh, finally found piccies of the kitchen cupboards I saw in the last Sherlock episode14:11
MartijnVdSshauno: "Un petit peu" ;)14:11
directhexwikipedia suggests out of a UK population of 63 million, there are 136000 from PRC plus 82000 from hong kong (which is listed separately) and no 2011 figures for taiwan (which is listed separately)14:11
directhexPLEASE NOTE I AM NOT MAKING ANY POLITICAL STATEMENT ABOUT HONG KONG AND TAIWAN, THEY'RE JUST LISTED SEPARATELY IN THIS CHART14:12
shaunoyou'd have to converse with belgians just to keep your hand in :/14:12
Myrttihttp://kitchensbybespoke.co.uk/portfolio/swinhay/14:12
Myrttiso I did see correctly, it does have that pattern on it14:12
Myrttifunky. Probably proper expensive too.14:12
directhexhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign-born_population_of_the_United_Kingdom#Countries_of_origin14:12
shaunoI think it's fair to separate hong kong within this context, since they speak primarily cantonese rather than mandarin14:13
popeymy kids get en and fr, and the option of de or es and latin14:13
gone_I don't care about those politics at all14:13
MartijnVdSpopey: ah yes, latin and ancient greek were also options (as a "package deal" only)14:14
shaunowe were split 50/50 over fr/de14:14
popeylatin is only available as an extra class after hours14:14
shaunobut on the plus side, all my teachers were wrong; I've ended up requiring central/eastern european languages a whole lot more than french14:15
MartijnVdSpopey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_Netherlands#High_school - only "VWO" got the option of Latin/Greek14:15
directhexgone_, did you get cocos2d to build?14:16
directhexi have qualifications in french, latin, ancient greek, and russian14:16
gone_Nope14:16
directhexhmph :/14:16
gone_I can't understand this: http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/58468814:17
gone_What do they mean?14:17
MartijnVdSgone_: it's a unified diff, the first 2 lines show which file to edit, the rest indicates which lines to add (+) and remove (-). The "patch" tool can do this for you.14:18
gone_I'm using Debian Testing with gcc version 4.8.214:18
directhexand the lines starting @@ show approximately which lines in the file need modifying14:18
gone_Ok14:21
gone_Am I need to install a package named patch?14:23
gone_If I don't have one14:23
awilkinsIf you have even the basics of development tools you should already have patch14:24
shauno"which patch" should tell you.  if it replies with nothing, the package 'build-essential' would be a good start14:24
gone_Do I need to save those codes into a file with a special file name?14:27
gone_And use the patch tool14:27
directhexgone_, yeah. download the file, switch to ~/src/cocos2d-x-3.0beta/, and run "patch -p1 < path/to/patchfile.diff"14:28
gone_Ok,I'll do14:30
gone_It doesn't work14:32
gone_I'll paste it14:33
gone_http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/58470914:35
Myrttiso why did you even try to make it if patch failed14:35
gone_I don't know how to say "算了" in English14:38
directhexlooks like the patch file screwed up14:38
gone_I'll give it up today14:38
directhexgone_, go to http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/584688 and click 点击下载 at the top14:38

=== alan_g|afk is now known as alan_g
SuperMattI actually regularly misspell python as pythong, so I've just turned it in to a running joke15:44
SuperMattI guess because the motion of 'on' on the keyboard is quite similar to 'in', which is often followed by a 'g' for doing words15:45
SuperMattor it could be that I have an unconscious desire to wear thongs15:46
