jussi(yep, broke my screen last night)06:45
MooDooouch, mine broke a few months ago, just a hair line crack, nothing to worry about just a pain in the neck06:47

MooDooand watch all the debian users kick off about systemd lol07:08
jussiMooDoo: its not much to lose to be honest - If I screw it up then I just have to buy the more complicated part, which is the other alternative anyway... and the glass itself only costs about a tenner...07:09
MooDoothat's not too bad then, I'd just end up buying a new phone lol07:09

MooDoobrobostigon: still tempted to upgrade to LTS lol08:07
brobostigonwhich lts is the important question, :)08:08
MooDoowell upgrade was the clue :p08:08
MooDoonot downgrade ;)08:08
brobostigonlts to lts ?08:08
MooDoobrobostigon: ok my fault :) i'm on 13.10 to 14.04 :)08:08
brobostigonah,. :)08:09
MooDoobrobostigon: apparently it's stable enough so I might give it a try08:09
brobostigonisnt that the point of lts, that it is stable, ?08:09
MooDoobrobostigon: yes, but normally I don't install stuff until release, and as that's a couple of months away...08:10
brobostigongood point, maybe try a daily build and see how stable it is, or a persistant usb, ?08:10
MooDoobrobostigon: yeah good plan :D08:11
brobostigon:)08:11

diploWe had a power cut at headoffice yesterday, one of the VM's lost most of it's config files in the vm dir, seeing if anyone else has ever seen that.. found some KB's on VM's site so going to try that08:44

dwatkinsIf the VM's virtual disk is ok, can the rest be recreated?09:03
neuroi was going to suggest simply mounting the virtual disk onto another vm09:03
diploneuro: 4.1 esxi09:08
neuroyikes, old :)09:08
diploBasically you normally have two or more vmdk files, a vmx file and some others09:08

SuperMattMooDoo: no, nothing09:32
neuroi've seen the guy type and he's not a slow 'un09:32

neuroso it takes ages to get a reply09:32
MartijnVdSneuro: I know a guy like that.. typing is excruciatinly slow, but every morning he comes in with another gigabyte of new code to review09:32
neuroand because we're using a lovely ajaxy awesome web chat app thing, it does the skype thang and shows when someone is typing09:32
MartijnVdSSometimes I wonder if he employs people who type code for him ;)09:33

shaunoneuro: I know that pain.  we have a manager who appears to type with one finger. ".. is typing" for ages, you're starting to get optimistic that there's actually a decent, fleshed out answer coming.  and then it arrives.  "strange."09:37
MartijnVdSshauno: I have a few friends like that too. "How are you?" [.. is typing, for 5 minutes] "Fine"09:39
jussilaptop manufacturers that put fn+$key for volume keys should be shot09:40
jussiI shouldnt have to use 2 hands to change the volume...09:40
MartijnVdSjussi: mine has a bios (efi system setup?) setting for that :)09:40
jussiespecially fn in bottom left + F11/F12...09:40
jussiMartijnVdS: hrm?09:41
MartijnVdSjussi: I can switch my keyboard between "F-key = F-key" and "F-key is multimedia key" modes from the bios09:41
jussiahh09:41
MartijnVdSjussi: in both cases, the Fn-key makes them do the other action (so if it's set to F-key = F-key, Fn+F-key = Multimedia key)09:42
jussiI dont think this HP has that... should check09:42
MartijnVdSotherwise fn+F-key = F-key, and F-key without modifier = multimedia key09:42
jussisounds nice...09:42
MartijnVdSdell ;)09:42

jussiI have some other stuff I can change, but nothing relevant :/10:00
jussiwhat is Data Execution Prevention ?10:00
popeysupposed to prevent certain exploits10:04
popeyso you can only execute code from an execution block or something10:04
MartijnVdSjussi: it marks memory pages as "contains executable code" or "doesn't contain executable code", and the CPU knows about that10:04
* popey remembers x86 assembler very vaguely10:05
jussiso I should probably still leave it enabled :P10:05
MartijnVdSjussi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_bit10:06
shaunoyou shouldn't have to mess with that unless you're running an ancient kernel10:30
MartijnVdSwhere ancient = >10 years old10:34

MartijnVdSdavmor2: with the phone? I just picked the "Yes" option manually11:16
MartijnVdSdavmor2: now it's just me not being able to figure out how to work Ubuntu Phone11:16
MooDoowish I could install it on my samsung gs3 :(11:17
davmor2MartijnVdS: so phablet-flash ubuntu-system --channel devel-proposed -d (phone type maguro/mako) -b should do you in future if it is needed :)11:18
davmor2MooDoo: :(11:18
popeyyou shouldn't need to though, now you've flashed it11:18
davmor2MartijnVdS: you get used to it very quickly if it is the only device you use and then you struggle with android11:19
MartijnVdSShould graphics be smooth? Or is the device just too old for that?11:19
MartijnVdS(Galaxy Nexus)11:19
diploMooDoo: I use Thunderbird still on occasion, still sucks really11:20
diploEnd up using roundcube more11:20
popeyMartijnVdS: it needs some work, there's some performance issues we know about11:21
popeyqt5.2 fixes some of them11:21
popeybut some are app specific, and the devs need to improve them.11:21
MooDoodiplo: yeah I'm already using webmail, just want to move to a desktop client so I can pop them all down....just playing really11:21
davmor2MooDoo: thunderbird is definitely getting more sucky11:21
popeywe are adding a nice profiling popup in the phone UI so you can see how much time is spent in cpu/gpu while rendering11:21
MooDoodavmor2: boooo11:21
davmor2MartijnVdS: the galaxy nexus hardware is also kinda sucky so you can't take screenshots it will lock up the device, every now and then you'll close an app and the phone will just lock up ;(11:23
diploMpt tried evolution in a long time ,keep meaning to try the new one but haven't had much chance recently11:24

codecowboyHi. I'm seeing this memory usage on ubuntu - Mem:    604336k total,   564784k used,    39552k free,    34468k buffers. Its an AWS micro instance. Is there a way to see how much the OS is using?12:29
MartijnVdScodecowboy: what do you mean "the OS"?12:32
MartijnVdSWhich part of it?12:32
codecowboyMartijnVdS well, I suppose I mean all processes which are necessary to operating system. I am trying to see how much memory there really is to play with over and above what the operating system - kernel, etc require12:33
MartijnVdSwhy though? The kernel manages that for you.. once you run out of buffers and start using swap regularly, you start to worry12:33
MartijnVdSbut not before :)12:33
codecowboyMartijnVdS I'm running this micro instance for a client and it seems to fall over after a couple of days and not let me ssh in. I'm trying to figure out why. I thought an obvious thing might be the memory filling up12:35
diploDoesn't Amazons web interface have great stats for stuff like that ? A friend uses it and gets alerts about mem usage and can diagnose from there quite often12:38
MartijnVdScodecowboy: it does seem a bit high on "used" vs "total", you could check what is using up all that memory using something like "top" (and sort by memory use)12:39
popeycodecowboy: is it running wordpress by any chance? ☻12:39
codecowboypopey nope, nodejs12:39
popeyah12:39
codecowboyMartijnVdS yeah, when I run top and hit m, everything apart from node, occasionally mysql and phantomjs are at 0.0.12:41
MartijnVdScodecowboy: you need capital M, and look at the memory columns, not the CPU columns12:48
codecowboyMartijnVdS. yep, so the top % usage is node 10.1, phantomjs 8.6, mysqld 7.7 and another node 2.8 (guessing that one is my cron job). Is there a way to see actual memory usage in top, not percentage?12:51
MartijnVdScodecowboy: look in the "RES" or "VIRT" columns instead?12:51
MartijnVdSthere is no "actual" memory usage, with overcommitting etc. going on12:52

jussianyone here got a good recipe for shepherds pie? I have found a bunch on the net, but a recommendation is always nice...13:59
foobarrylamb or beef(cottage)14:00
jussifoobarry: beef (although my mince is beef/pork mixx, but who cares)14:05
foobarrydidn't think there was much to it.14:06
DJonesjussi: Mince (Beef or Turkey) onions, carrots, peas & gravy for the base, mashed potato on top, maybe with some grated cheese for a crust14:06
foobarrycook mince with finely chopped onions. slap on the mash. make a little plughed field motif on the top, heat in oven14:07
TheOpenSourcererIt's pretty easy really. Fry the meat so it's brown. Add an onion, garlic, chopped carrot or two, peas, some chopped tomatoes - cook it down so it's a really thick gravy.14:07
Seeker`jussi: put leek and cheese on top of the mashed potato14:07
TheOpenSourcererBoil some spuds.14:07
jussiSeeker`: ooh, I wish I had leek!  nom14:07
TheOpenSourcererSmash them up, add butter, loads of cheese, some milk or cream and leeks on top14:07
TheOpenSourcererGrated nutmeg in the mash helps too. And always season (salt/pepper)14:08
jussirecommended spices?14:08
DJonessalt & pepper14:08
TheOpenSourcererIn the stew nothing much - I use herb de provence mostly14:08
jussinutmeg in the meat, I know.14:08
DJonesDon't go for overkill14:08
foobarrycrumble a bovril cube onto the mince to make it super beefy14:08
TheOpenSourcerernutmeg in the mash - not the meat14:09
jussifoobarry: could be interesting14:09
TheOpenSourcererA teaspoon of Marmite instead of bovril :-D14:09
foobarryor pour on some strong gravy14:09
* jussi wanders off to put on the spuds14:09
jussiwe dont have "gravy" here - got to make it myself14:09

TheOpenSourcererTrick is to make sure it's really thick and fairly cold before you put the mash on top. Else the mash will kind of sink in to the meat...14:10

MartijnVdSdaftykins: When I worked a DSL provider, we got more calls when it had rained a lot15:11
daftykinsbut my line stats showed sync rate of 50/20 originally15:11
MartijnVdSdaftykins: most about lost/worse sync speeds15:12
daftykinsnow i'm seeing them fluctuate in real time and they're a lot down15:12
daftykinsMartijnVdS: would they just have to deal with it, or would they do anything?15:12
MartijnVdSdaftykins: Often it would go away when water levels dropped15:12
MartijnVdSdaftykins: if it didn't, we called KPN to replace the wires :)15:13
daftykinsthing is it coincided with them changing us from ATM to PPPoE too15:13
MartijnVdSthat could be it too then15:13
neurodaftykins: my folks got infinity installed15:14

daftykinsouch15:14

neuroturned out the linebox that replaced the NTE5 had been badly wired (Kelly Comms *grrr*)15:14
neuroopenreach engineer was raging15:14
daftykins;/15:15
neuroso you may want to check the linebox just in case :)15:15
daftykinsit won't have changed though 0o15:15
MartijnVdSdaftykins: something might have fallen off, or come loose15:15
MartijnVdSdaftykins: especially if it was badly wired15:15
neurocould be a profile snafu on the dslam15:15
daftykinswell the service is 40/5 you see15:15
daftykinsi still get that15:16
daftykinsbut the line sees 45/11 now whereas it had the capability of 50/20 prior15:16
neurohuh15:16
daftykinsa friend suggests that if someone else got the service too near me since, crosstalk could've affected that15:16
neuroyou were getting faster rates than you were contracted for?15:16
daftykinsyes15:16
neurowtf15:16
daftykinsthat's how all VDSL works15:16
daftykinsthere's what your line can do, and what you're provisioned for15:17
MartijnVdSneuro: ISPs do that, sync at max. speed possible, then limit on the other end (in the data centre)15:17
neuroum no15:17
MartijnVdSbecause why not15:17
neurono they don't15:17
MartijnVdSneuro: they do here15:17

daftykinshttps://www.dropbox.com/s/z19rxzrcg9va6mq/vdsl.jpg15:18
daftykinsthere y'go15:18
neuroi don't know what their max sync speed can be, but they are contracted for 40/10 and they get 40/1015:19
neurobut they're closer to their cab than i am to mine, so i'd assume they can sync faster15:19
daftykinsright but their line sync stats will likely be higher15:19

Azelphuris what I have in fstab18:47
MartijnVdSdoes it work if you mount by hand?18:48
AzelphurMartijnVdS: haven't tried, but amusingly I think I found the problem, it's not mounts fault18:48
Azelphurthis is weird, I have a KVM virtual machine with address 192.168.1.12, and the host has IP 192.168.1.11, and the KVM can't ping the host18:49
Azelphurthat's why the share isn't working18:49
MartijnVdSAzelphur: are the IPs on the same network?18:49
MartijnVdSi.e. is the virtual device bridged with the ethernet device?18:50
AzelphurMartijnVdS: yup, my PC can talk to the KVM no problem18:50
MartijnVdSAzelphur: sure, you can talk to *kvm*, but can you talk to the *guest*18:50
Azelphurand yea, it's bridged with its own IP in the networking (even has functional port forwards and such)18:51
MartijnVdSAzelphur: talking to kvm is easy (virsh/vnc)18:51
AzelphurMartijnVdS: yes I can talk to the guest, that's what I meant18:51
MartijnVdSAzelphur: then how can't you ping it?18:51
AzelphurMartijnVdS: because I can only ssh from a machine that isn't the host.18:51
Azelphurand in this case, I'm trying to get the guest and the host to talk to each other18:51
MartijnVdSAzelphur: can you pastebin the output of "ip addr" and "brctl show" on the host?18:53
Azelphurhttp://pastebin.com/hkUYQMu618:54
MartijnVdSem1?18:54
AzelphurMartijnVdS: yea, it's just an ethernet port18:54
AzelphurI have no idea why it gets called em1.18:54
MartijnVdSshouldn't that be "eth0"?18:54
MartijnVdSanyway18:54
MartijnVdSthe bridge seems emtpy18:55
MartijnVdSI don't know macvtap18:55
MartijnVdSmy kvm vm's have "vnet0" interfaces that get attached to a bridge18:55
Azelphurwell the guest has full internet access, I can access it from both inside and outside my LAN without issues18:55

AzelphurMartijnVdS: oh hey, my Source Mode is apparently VEPA18:58
Azelphurand bridge is an option18:58
AzelphurI guess I should try changing that?18:58
MartijnVdSAzelphur: VEPA? What's that? How did you set it?18:59
AzelphurI'm using Virtual Machine Manager, gui frontend to libvirt18:59
Azelphurit's an option in the dropdown18:59
MartijnVdSAzelphur: I use that too18:59
MartijnVdSAzelphur: I've just found it in mine18:59

Azelphuris yours set to VEPA or bridge?19:00
MartijnVdSbridge :)19:00
Azelphuraha19:00
Azelphurmaybe that's why19:00
MartijnVdSanyway, for me this works:19:00
MartijnVdS/etc/network/interfaces: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6921546/19:00
MartijnVdSthen I get the option "Host device vnet0 (Bridge br0)" in the menu (VM turned off, NIC page)19:01
Azelphurhmm19:05
AzelphurI made that change to my /etc/network/interfaces, and now my only option for virtual network interface is Direct em119:05
MartijnVdSyes! that one!19:05
Azelphurbut that's not a bridge?19:05
MartijnVdShmm19:05
MartijnVdSyou may need to ifup -a19:06

MartijnVdSand restart network-manager and/or libvirt-bin19:06
Azelphurdon't have network-manager since it's a server19:06
MartijnVdSok, that helps :)19:06
MartijnVdSbut I have "Source device: " and then several options19:07
MartijnVdSone is "Virtual network 'default' (virbr0), then 2 "Host device" options, eth0 and lo19:07

MartijnVdSweird!19:08
Azelphurlooks like it's not starting properly19:08
MartijnVdSworks fine here.. did you put "em1" in the bridge config in /etc/network/interfaces?19:09

shauno_hah, I'm not the only one.  I have a kitchen towel jammed in one of mine20:49
maps|workugh mozzila going to sell ads in ffox20:53
maps|workyou played flappy bird? read yesterday the author was getting 50k usd/day in ad revenue!!20:53
GingerDogand that he'd pulled the app(s) and the ones in the play store are knockoffs with spam/crap in them20:53
GingerDog(unless he's re-enabled them).20:54
maps|workya20:54
maps|workthats true20:54
maps|workheard he pulled em..dunno why20:54
GingerDogi suspect because the support load was too high.20:54
maps|workhe was raking it in..and yea thats the thing with he droid store..loadsa fakes eh20:54
GingerDogand he's still raking it in20:54
shauno_I Think the ff ads are overblown, to be honest20:54
GingerDogexisting users will still be able to use htem etc.20:54
GingerDogi saw something earlier (perhaps lwn.net) about it20:55
GingerDogi'm not fussed as i'm not a FF user20:55
GingerDogbut I'd guess it's to give them some protection against google being their only source of revenue?20:55
shauno_right20:55
shauno_and it's pretty low-key; they're selling spots on thumbnail page of recent sites20:55
maps|worki like ffox but i also like opera..seem to be alone in both of those;p20:55
shauno_so instead of starting blank, it starts prepopulated.  and ask you use it they're going to disappear quickly20:56
GingerDogsimilar to the EverythingMe android launcher (who Mozilla are doing a deal with too)20:56
maps|workhttp://gizmodo.com/watch-two-crazy-people-climb-the-worlds-second-tallest-152138220420:56
maps|work;p;20:56
maps|workthink il pass20:56
GingerDog(EverythingMe has 'sponsored' suggestions when you go into folders)20:57
GingerDogit's an interesting idea20:57
shauno_this is just pre-populating the recents though.  so if you use ff for more than 5 minutes they'll be replaced with real data20:58
maps|workstanding on the edge looking over lol i dont think id wanna do that with safety gear20:58
maps|workfeel sick watching it LOL21:00
