daftykinsdiddledan: yeah it's becoming a bit crazy the whole sex scandal stuff, don't know whether it's legit or what00:13
daftykinsthough a mates uncle apparently said something about such things being a lot more acceptable back in the day :S00:14
daftykinswhatever that means00:14
diddledandaftykins: sorta like <croaky old-man voice>"back in my day you could fiddle with whoever you liked"?</croaky>00:37
diddledanI think rather than it being acceptable it was more not known and/or swept under the carpet and placed behind closed doors00:38
daftykinscould well be00:42
daftykinsi'm a bit torn though 'cause you've got the likes of Rolf Harris as a national treasure that will likely never work again, regardless of which way the court ruling goes00:43
diddledanyeah00:43
diddledanI really don't want the stories of Rolf to be true00:44
daftykinsbut obviously justice should be served =/00:47
diddledanindeed00:47
daftykinsthough i'm not sure anyone really gets any result from seeing someone locked up so many years down the line00:48
diddledanthe only benefit I see from doing so is if there's a chance they'll reoffend00:49
daftykinsyeah00:49
daftykinsseems a bit late given most have had so many years to do whatever00:49
shaunoanyone know if it'd cause any problems to wire the usb power rails together on a Pi?  (ie, from the two usbhost ports to the power microusb)00:58
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
ali12341shauno: check the schematic - the usb rails are all connected together anyway iirc, except that there's the polyfuse on one of them01:24
ali12341so basically all you'd be doing is removing the polyfuse from the circuit01:24
shaunofair enough.  I jsut recall getting odd looks when I had the previous revision backfed  (powering the usbhost sockets powered the board; I'm not sure if this is still the case)01:26
ali12341i'm pretty sure that hasn't changed, but removing the polyfuse is risky of course01:27
daftykinsshauno: maybe you had the big monkey with you at the time? :>01:51
daftykins"here's my incredibly small r-pi and here's my incredibly large monkey!"01:52
shauno:(  don't judge me, I like my monkey01:54
shaunoI think that one was a happy accident; I used one of the Y cables from a harddrive to power a 3g modem, and discovered that unplugging the pi didn't reboot it01:55
daftykinsoh no i'm supporting you and your monkey, sir01:58

DJonesAre there any offline roadmap/navigation apps people would recommend for android, starting to try a couple out, wondered if there are any really good ones to try09:43
ali12341the tomtom one?09:46
DJonesThe two that seem to get really good comments are Sygic and MapFactor09:46
DJonesTomtom one seems to have pretty poor reviews09:48
MyrttiDJones: google maps 'offline' maps aren't available?10:02
DJonesMyrtti: No as far as I know, that facility was removed a while back10:02
Myrttiwell android still kinda has it, but it's not available everywhere10:03
dwatkinsDJones: this appears to be a list: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android10:03
dwatkinsmany of the apps mention offline10:03
DJonesYou can get a small area if you download it beforehand, but doesn't have full details from what I've read10:03
DJonesJust downloading Mapfactor to compare to Sygic10:05

bigcalmIs there an easy way to awk/sed/grep (I don't know what) the current tag for a git repo?10:35
MartijnVdSbigcalm: my propmt does it, so probably :)10:36
bigcalmMartijnVdS: mine too, good point10:36
bigcalmexport PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w\[\033[31m\]$(__git_ps1 "(%s)") \[\033[01;34m\]$\[\033[00m\] '10:37
* bigcalm scratches his head10:37
MartijnVdS__git_ps1 is defined in /usr/lib/git-core/git-sh-prompt10:37
bigcalmOh10:37
MartijnVdSmaybe "git describe" is what you want?10:38
bigcalmThis is for an automated deploy script. Need to create remote directories based upon the tag10:39
MartijnVdSbigcalm: have a look at "git describe"10:39
MartijnVdSit does tag + sha10:39
bigcalm$ git describe10:40
bigcalmfatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.10:40
bigcalmI'm guessing I need to tag before it'll work?10:40
MartijnVdSprobably10:40
MartijnVdSmaybe add some options.. --help ;)10:41
bigcalmNo, I expect other people to do my work for me! :P10:41
MartijnVdSbigcalm: well, look at stackexchange then ;)10:41
bigcalmHehe, some people are rather lazy on there10:42
bigcalmI hope I'm not being hypocritical now10:42
ali12341bigcalm: what do you actually want to do?10:44
bigcalm<bigcalm> This is for an automated deploy script. Need to create remote directories based upon the tag10:44
ali12341ok. yeah, git describe is almost certainly what you want10:44
bigcalmGrand :)10:44
ali12341by default it does <repo name>-<tag>-<number of commits since tag>-<commit sha>10:45
ali12341so it's always unique to where you are in history10:45
bigcalmAha10:46
ali12341see also git archive10:47
bigcalmaquarius: found the holy grail of printers yet?10:50
aquariusno.10:50
aquariusIt's not even *for* me10:51
aquariusmy dad has two printers, a cheap laser and an inkjet, and is sick to the back teeth of both of them not working10:51
aquariushence him asking me for advice, and me asking you lot :)10:51
bigcalmI'm happy with the Lexmark laser printer I have. I understand that other people have problems with devices though...10:51
ali12341we've got a HP M175NW10:54
ali12341it works fine. cheap printer but the toner is expensive, but that's not a problem if you don't print very much10:54
ali12341the demo cartridges have lasted a year already10:54
MartijnVdSaquarius: I have an HP CP1515n, had it for several years, haven't replaced the demo carts yet10:55
MartijnVdSAlso, it works very well (no malfunctions yet)10:55
aquariusso, "works fine" and "no malfunctions" means that you never get the thing where you send a page to print and nothing happens, or the computer can't see the printer, or the printer won't print and needs to be power-cycled, or...?10:57
ali12341they are both network printers10:57
aquariusyou just go "file > print" in some app and it prints, every time?10:57
ali12341sure10:57
aquariusblimey.10:57
ali12341(on linux)10:57
MartijnVdSaquarius: the only times it didn't print, was when I broke cups10:57
ali12341windows printing is totally random, doesn't matter what printer you have10:57
aquariusooh, man, that HP M175NW is two hundred quid.10:58
aquariusthat's cheap?10:58
ali12341it was £99 on argos last year10:58
ali12341also it's a scanner and copier10:58
MartijnVdSisn't that the one popey has as well?10:58
bashrcavoid printers unless there really isn't any alternative10:58
ali12341don't think so10:58
aquariusbashrc, there isn't. I made that argument and was rebuffed.10:58
bashrcin my experience, printers are always trouble - even if you buy the most fancy expensive machinery10:59
aquariusbashrc, I agree wholeheartedly with that assessment. However, no choice here, hence looking for recommendations for the least worst.10:59
ali12341i generally find network printers work best, as they're not relyng so much on the OS11:00
aquariusnetwork is a good idea. My laser is networked.11:00
aquariusI assume network printers have wifi these days?11:00
ali12341the 175 does11:00
ali12341and ipv6 too11:00
bashrcyes, a network printer might reduce any compatibility problems11:00
ali12341and it comes configured to serve up a public access point into your network11:01
ali12341which is not so good11:01
popeythat is the printer I have11:01
popeythis one has wired and wifi11:01
ali12341yeah. i'm using it wired11:01
ali12341didn't notice it was also letting the general public onto our network11:01
popeymostly wifey uses it. I don't use it much11:01
popeyon nice11:01
aquariusI mostly don't care about the public access point thing. :)11:02
directhexoh, it's aquarius11:02
aquariusand I can probably turn that off, anyway11:02
aquariusheya directhex11:02
ali12341you can, i have :)11:02
aquariuspopey, you've got the M175NW?11:02
* aquarius looks at wifi HP laser printers.11:02
ali12341you can make it just join your existing network too of course11:03
aquariusali12341, which is exactly what I shall do11:04
aquariusI suspect I'll need to connect it with usb first to get at a config util to set the wpa key, or something.11:04
ali12341nope11:04
ali12341i've never plugged it in on USB11:04
aquariusali12341, how did you teach it the wpa key?11:05
ali12341i didn't - i use it wired11:05
ali12341but you can configure it over the network, so either get a ethernet cable or join it's default public wifi11:05
popeyaquarius: ya11:05
aquariusoh, sneaky11:05
ali12341USB requires installing the silly drivers11:05
MartijnVdS200GB drivers, probably, on Windows?11:06
aquariusyeah, I'll just make it be wired for five minutes.11:06
ali12341MartijnVdS: yeah, exactly11:06
aquariushplip supports it, so dad'll be fine11:06
ali12341i thinky ou still need the drivers to print from windows11:06
popeyits not a fast printer11:06
popeyi haven't printed to it from linux yet11:06
ali12341it works perfectly with ubuntu11:07
bigcalmDoes it offer airprint? - found this to be a requirement by my mother for their new printers11:07
popeynice11:07
ali12341it's not fast but that's not a problem unless you are self publishing your novel or something11:07
popeywell, wifey wants to print lots of school work11:07
popeybut yeah, mostly thats fire and forget11:07
ali12341it's also not eaxctly slow compared with say, any inkjet11:08
MartijnVdSalso, you can touch the paper later on without it streaking11:08
Dave2I wonder if you can sensibly get a dot matrix printer shared via CUPS.11:09
aquariusdon't care about print speed, as long as it's not taking half an hour per page or something :)11:09
ali12341it's mostly warm up/warm down11:10
ali12341printing 10 pages only takes slightly longer than printing 1 page11:10
aquariusbigcalm, don't need airprint -- parents are both Android phones, and I honestly can't imagine for the life of me them ever printing anything from phone anyway ;)11:10
aquariusali12341, yeah, that's how most stuff works in my experience11:10
popeyi dont find that's the case with what I print11:12
popeytakes an age to print complex pdf things11:12
popeyif i print a 10 page doc, it takes as long for each page, sometimes a minute11:12
Dave2...huh. Apparently you _can_ print to a dot matrix printer using CUPS, which means you could share one over the network. Learn something new every dya.11:13
MartijnVdSDave2: Why not?11:14
diploDave2: We have probably 800+ dot matrixs with CUPS :/11:14
diploOver over customer base11:14
Dave2I didn't expect CUPS and dot matrix support being relevant to have a huge overlap.11:14
Dave2diplo: nice.11:14
Dave2People still make printer paper?11:15
aquariusdiplo, eight hundred printers. That's terrifying.11:15
diploMoved mainly to printer servers now, and slowly getting them to spend money on laser printers11:15
aquariusI was going to ask where you got fanfold paper from these days too!11:15
diploPaper is the easy part, the printers are extortionate and hard to get11:15
MartijnVdSaquarius: ebay ;)11:15
ali12341TIL that rivers don't meander because the water on the outside of the bend travels faster than the water on the inside11:15
ali12341it's actually because the outside bank does all the work of redirecting the centripetal force11:16
MartijnVdSali12341: that's the effect, not the cause.11:16
Myrttihttp://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jan/27/hello-ruby-kids-coding-book-kickstarter11:16
Myrtti\o/11:16
diploaquarius: we are a software/hardware company, we support the printers for 95% of our customers and they're skin flints when it comes to renewing hardward11:16
diploStill have 1 customer running Redhat 711:16
diplo!!11:16
ali12341MartijnVdS: it's not even true because of vortex flow, apparently11:16
brobostigonis it possible, to boot usb deviced using grub2, without bios usb boot support. ?11:16
brobostigondevices*11:16
ali12341i was lied to in school, yet again11:16
aquariusdiplo, well... dot matrix printers were, in my experience, considerably more reliable than newer inkjet/laser printers in terms of actually printing rather than pretending to print, not lying about how much ink they have left, etc.11:17
aquariusof course, they jammed and ate paper like it was going out of fashion, but you've gotta take the rough with the smooth.11:17
diploI don't know, I'd take networked printers 100% over dot matrix now days from my experience11:18
ali12341aquarius: that's because dot matrix printers accept one character at a time and print it immediately11:18
bashrcyes, I bet there are still companies out there using dot matrix printers and fanfold paper11:18
aquariusali12341, yeah.11:19
diploMuch easier to maintain/fix/swap out11:19
aquariusI agree that it's easier to make it work when it's simpler. :)11:19
MartijnVdSaquarius: http://r.ebay.com/PBCQXX11:19
aquariusclearly the answer is.... a networked dot matrix printer!11:20
aquariuskickstarter!11:20
MartijnVdSaquarius: Raspberry Pi + serial dot matrix printer + some glue11:20
ali12341i've got a MPS-802 in the loft11:20
aquariusactually I'm sure I've got a parallel jetdirect around here somewhere.11:21
ali12341so old it's not even serial11:21
diplojetdirect \o/ we have lots of those as well11:21
bigcalmGoing back to git tags, looks like phing can do a lot for me anyway :) http://www.phing.info/docs/guide/stable/apcs23.html11:21
diploActually :( they're more of a PITA than dot matrix's11:21
diplobigcalm: Get back off topic!11:22
diplo:P11:22
bigcalmHa :P11:22
bigcalmKilled the convo. yay11:26
ali12341a project builder written in PHP based on ant? are you completely insane??11:27
bigcalmI love the hate PHP gets11:28
ali12341i working on some php code right now11:28
ali12341it's horrible11:28
ali12341instead of functions, they wrote one function that takes a string param and has a huge switch inside it11:28
diddledanali12341: ouch11:29
bigcalmI'm sure you could do that in pretty much any language11:29
Dave211:20:22 <      aquarius> clearly the answer is.... a networked dot matrix printer!11:29
ali12341then instead of using functions like doSomethingWithAUsefulName() they call hugeFunction("123")11:29
Dave2hey, that was what started me off on this, wondering how easy it'd be to share via CUPS. And apparently you can.11:29
ali12341and literally all the params are just numeric codes11:29
Dave2(It'll even print non-character data. Very slowly.)11:29
popeyLaney: you run spotify on 14.04? crashy?11:30

popeytrying to figure out which process to attach to in gdb11:31
bigcalmpopey: spotify works for me in 14.0411:32
ali12341this huge function controls all the SQL queries in the entire website, so anywhere else in the code you don't see getArticles() or whatever. you see query("123")11:32
bigcalmpopey: not crashed any more than in 12.04 - 13.10 for me11:32
ali12341to add insult to injury, every case works by getting the entire table and then selecting rows inside php code11:32
ali12341and some page views call it multiple times11:32
ali12341spotify is very crashy on 13.10 for me11:33
Laneyit used to be like that for me, but then it got fixed11:34
LaneyI'd see deadlock messages when running it from the terminal11:34
Laneyforget if that was 13.10 or trusty11:34
bigcalmSome times spotify will take control of the whole system. I fix that by pressing alt and typing exit11:35
bigcalmBut this has happened for me since I 1st used Spotify in Unity11:35
ali12341the new flash plugin has developed a nasty bug where it deadlocks the GPU. there's no recovering from that :/11:35
bashrcflash is the spawn of the devil11:36

bigcalmAs much as I love my new laptop, I keep forgetting how heavy it is11:44
bigcalmDoes anybody else get this: viewing a terminal with black background, lines of red and green text, brain wobbles as it keeps seeing the alternating colours in a 3d type way11:47
bigcalmI suck at describing things11:47
popeyno11:47
ali12341yes11:47
ali12341there's a reason for that11:47
ali12341it involves different wavelengths11:47
bigcalmViewing git diffs it happens all the time11:48
popeyoh i see11:49
ali12341you could change the colours if it's really bad11:49
popeyi thought you meant you saw lineds11:49
popey*lines11:49
bigcalmI could, it amuses me. I will if it ever stops me from reading :)11:49
ali12341red/blue to make the effect "worse"11:50
bigcalmNice11:50
ali12341(because they are the most different wavelengths)11:50
bigcalmOf course, opposite ends of the visible light spectrum11:50
ali12341apparently it's because of chromatic abberation, ie you can't quite focus on them both at the same time because of the different wavelengths11:51
bigcalmGreen pops out while red sinks back11:51
ali12341yeah. different focal length tricks your brain into thinking it is further away11:51
ali12341presumably this would still happen even if you are colour blind11:52
bigcalmCoo, that's unexpected11:55

DJonesSuperMatt: 9... as in 7 of 9 ? Thats a different series :)12:01
diddledanwhere does the doctor that almost destroyed galifrey fit in the timeline?12:01
MartijnVdSdiddledan: 8.512:01
bigcalmDJones: she was called 7 though12:01
SuperMattpopey: All right, I mean Christopher Ecclestone12:01
SuperMattwho I think is extremely underrated12:02
diddledanSuperMatt: no e12:02
DJonesbigcalm: Good call, looking at too many numbers12:02
SuperMattah, I have been told12:02
ali12341i'm with you on that one. eccleston is by far the best actor to play doctor who in colour12:06
ali12341also as a northerner he's the closest they've ever got to casting a minority actor12:07
MartijnVdSali12341: they have a Scot now12:08
ali12341good point12:08
ali12341i'm looking forward to the new series12:08
MartijnVdSali12341: only 7 more months12:08
shauno10 was a scot too?12:09
MartijnVdSshauno: yes, but he hid it12:10
bigcalmDid he hide it when they went to Tourchwood in Scotland?12:10
shauno(and 9 was a northerner  lol)12:11
shaunomy biggest problem with capaldi's apparent costume, is that it means that I now have to find & reattach the bottom button on my jacket, less people think I'm aping him intentionally12:15
SuperMattI've already noted that I have almost everything I need for a capaldi cosplay12:16
SuperMattjust need the jacket really12:16
MartijnVdSSuperMatt: just rob shauno12:20
shauno:|  please don't.  it's cold12:21
MartijnVdSSuperMatt: just robe shauno12:22
shaunospotted in the news this morning that dutch courts have struck down the IP block of TPB.  rather impressive12:23
shaunoseems to boil down to "the blocks obviously don't work, so we shouldn't force companies to bark up the wrong tree".12:28

MartijnVdSyay completely unfiltered internet again12:34
brobostigonanways, can grub2 boot off usb devices, without bios usb support?12:34
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: no, because the BIOS can't boot into grub2 if it can't read grub2 off the USB device in the first place12:35
shaunowhat if grub is on something it can boot?  eg grub on the hdd where you'd expect it, but with an option to loop boot an iso off a thumbdrive?12:36
brobostigonMartijnVdS: i see, ok. cant i just tell grub2 which is already on the hdd, and point it at the grub thats on the usb device?12:37
MartijnVdSProbably not, as grub doesn't have USB drivers12:37
brobostigonok,12:37
brobostigonohwell,12:38
diddledanhas anyone played with openvz enough to find out what might cause a guest mysql server to be unable to access it's files? I've just had a website go down where mysql reported that the tables didn't exist yet all the files were visible on the filesystem12:38
diddledanI'm wondering if doing a live migration to a different server might cause it?12:39
MartijnVdSdiddledan: shared memory, I think12:39
MartijnVdSdiddledan: postgresql can't run in OVZ instances either12:39
diddledanMartijnVdS: ouch12:39
diddledanMartijnVdS: I'm not telling the client they bought a duff vps :-p12:39
diddledan(they organised it and told us to put their site on there without asking us whether it's a good idea or anything. just unilaterally decided to buy a server and impose it upon us)12:40
MartijnVdSdiddledan: The Googles suggest it's an innodb+openvz thing12:41
brobostigonoh dear.12:41
bigcalmCan you check if two file names point to the same inode (hard links)?12:46
diddledanbigcalm: ls -i12:47
shaunoI usually end up searching for them (assuming they're not in the same folder), find -samefile is your friend12:48
diddledanshauno: nie12:48
diddledannice12:48
bigcalmTa12:48
shauno(and -xdev to stop it bothering searching other filesystems, since that's not a possibility.  so find /path -xdev -samefile /as/this/file )12:50
bigcalmThat does look handy12:51
shaunoseems silly that that's not a default behaviour.  find will happily wander across mounts where the hardlink can't possibly be12:51
* popey just learned that we're going to backport 3.13 to precise.13:01
MartijnVdSpopey: as part of the LTS enablement stack?13:02

MartijnVdSsounds logical, 12.04 still has a few years of support left, even after 14.04 comes out13:02
MartijnVdSI can imagine people want to run the same version everywhere13:02
MartijnVdSand not a mix of 12.04 and 14.0413:03
popeysuspect 3.13 will be the last one13:03
MartijnVdSYeah, with newer LTS enablement (14.10 etc.) going into 14.04 only13:03

AzelphurHey folks, anyone bored and mind telling me about the control characters in a terminal? I'm trying to capture the output from a process, and write what would be visible into a text file20:22
ali12341i know a lot about that stuff20:23
ali12341too much really20:23
AzelphuroO20:23
Azelphurali12341: so for example, I'd want to have one "frame" of top always written into a text file, that's the goal20:23
AzelphurI can capture the raw output, with all the control codes and such20:23
ali12341well there's no such thing as "frames"20:23
MartijnVdSAzelphur: man script20:23
AzelphurMartijnVdS: interesting, that might do it, haha20:24
ali12341why do you actually want this?20:24
ali12341pu top on a webpage or something?20:24
MartijnVdSAzelphur: script -t timings outputfile20:24
MartijnVdSAzelphur: then replay using "scriptreplay timings outputfile"20:25
Azelphurali12341: spot on, I'm being stupid and feel like dumping the output of cgminer to a minecraft computer.20:25
AzelphurMartijnVdS: yea, that doesn't sound like what I want20:25
MartijnVdSAzelphur: it's like recordmydesktop for terminals :)20:25
ali12341right and you're using computercraft?20:25
Azelphurali12341: yup20:25
Azelphurfun fun \o/20:25
ali12341whch can only fetch web pages basically20:25
Azelphuryup20:25
ali12341what you really want is ssh implemented in lua20:26
ali12341i put some thought into how to make cmputercraft more interesting20:26
Azelphurhaha20:26
ali12341the most interesting way would be to connect it up to user mode linux instances instead of lua vm20:27
ali12341and then put the redstone hardware into /dev/20:27
ali12341anyway, back on to the question20:27
AzelphurxD20:28
ali12341you might be able to do this with screen20:28
AzelphurI was wondering if I could do something like that with it20:28
ali12341you can do it interactive with C-a h20:30
ali12341"write a hardcopy of current screen contents"20:30
Azelphuroh hey, that'll work20:30
shaunoif you name your screen sessions, you can do it non-interactive too20:30
Azelphuryou can stuff commands into screen20:30
Myrttips has some sorting options20:31
Myrttiand formats and columns20:32
ali12341yeah but *really* he doesn't care about top at all, just wants to monitor some other program that happens to have a UI a bit like top20:32
Azelphur^20:32
Azelphurali12341: has it down ;)20:32
Myrttiwell, ok.20:33
Myrtti*sniff*20:33
MartijnVdSyou could run it on a vt and dump /dev/vcs<num> ;)20:35
shaunodon't you get a whole lot of noise that way?20:38
MartijnVdSevery other character is a colour code(ish)20:38
shauno:hardcopy filename is nice because it's basically printscreen; it kicks out clean ascii.  if you dump it straight from the term you get all the ansi stuff they use to move the cursor etc20:39
ali12341screen -X hardcopy foo.txt20:40
ali12341this works if you only have one screen with one window20:40
