gebbionediddledan, interesting thanks ... for the moment i found a windows app called loquendo, it is quite great but i might try this sbreader too03:11

ali1234how do i turn off the ability to type à05:27
ali1234i just want to press ` once and get `05:28
ali1234i don't even need to type à05:28
MartijnVdSali1234: select a keyboard layout without "dead keys"05:31
* MartijnVdS uses US International with "AltGr dead keys", so " is ", but AltGr+", e = ë05:31
diddledanali1234, press the alt + ` + `05:40
diddledanor whichever key it is05:40
diddledantwice is the magic number though05:40
diddledan´^`¨~05:42
diddledanthat's by pressing each modifier twice instead of choosing the letter to modify05:43
diddledanso alt + \ + \ is the magic sequence for you05:43

MooDooMangledBlue: What's the actual issue, is it not reading the disk?  Are you having problems with it booting?07:00
mappsya whats happening07:03
MangledBlueI got nothing here - DL'd iso - burnt - now I cannot install no matter what I try07:05
MangledBlueany thoughts?07:07
knightwisemorning peeps07:07
MooDooMangledBlue: does the disk read in another os?  when you boot the machine with the disk in the drive does it start to read it, have you set the system to boot from cdfirst?07:08
MooDooneed a bit more information here :)07:08
MangledBlueI have - I guess I get my WIN 7 DVD but it has worked in the past - should I try?07:09
MangledBluenever been a problem in the past07:09
MooDoook so you've used that disk before....ok yes try your win 7 dvd see if the problem is with the drive.07:10
MangledBlueright then - gonna B a sec before I come back - wait for me? - lol07:12
MooDooWe're here all day :d07:12
MangledBlueand let me just say - THANK YOU - your the 1st person in 7 "chats" that has assisted - I really do Thank You :-)07:13
MooDooHope we can get you sorted :D07:13
MangledBluesame mate - same07:13
MangledBluebrb07:14
MangledBlueright then -07:22
MangledBluewin 7 cd works - hummm - your Moo! - some people on other pages said !Moo and Moo! -- lol07:23
MangledBluestill there07:23
MangledBlue?07:23
MooDoolol yeah still here, so maybe not the drive, dirty ubuntu cd?  does it read ok from what ever desktop os you're using now?07:24
MangledBlueit seems to show DIR - I have no reason to think anything wrong of it - was/is new dvd07:25
MangledBlueshinky like mirror07:25
MangledBlueshiny - lol07:25
MangledBlueMD5 is ok07:26
MooDooyeah that's fine, but can you read the contents of the cd physically?07:26
MangledBlue379 files - 58 folders07:27
MangledBlueit puls up a DIR07:28
MangledBlueRead Only07:28
MooDoogreat that sounds ok then, ok next step, booting the machine with the cd, what happens then, does it load the purple boot screen?  or just makes funny noises when it's trying to read the cd?07:28
MangledBlue731 MB07:28
MangledBlue - lol - it does not load anything - WIN7 DVD asks to boot to cd/dvd - this thing does nothing - then win 7 boots07:29
MangledBluecompletely skips the norm07:29
MooDoook so what about the boot order of the machine, have you got cd before hdd?07:30
MangledBlueI think - CD - USB - External - HDD - 2nd HDD - something of that order - set in BIOS07:30
MooDooshould be ok, so with the win 7 dvd does that boot from the cd, just trying to think if it's disk or drive.07:31
MangledBlueI did have 2nd HDD set before HDD but I have my daughters HDD in 2nd - does not like that since it has her WIN7 on it07:31
MangledBlueI'm think'n disc b/c win7 disc boot'd07:32
MangledBluefone07:32
MangledBluefine07:32
MooDooyeah sounds like it then, do you have spare cd's that you could burn, or alternatively try the disk in a friends machine after sweet talking them :)07:33
MangledBlueYa know - did not even think of that - DUH - I have 3 computers - LOL - 2 I use and a MINER on 1 - sorry Crytocurrency guys here - 1 sec - trying the next lappy - duh - lol07:34
MooDoolol07:35
MangledBlueyea - has to be the disc - not work in the other lappy also07:41
MangledBlueguess I have to re-burn07:41
MooDoohuzzah! o/07:41
MooDooish lol07:41
MangledBlueso - I'll do that and see - so thank you for the assist - be back soon07:42
MangledBluewell - I'll still be here but..... burning07:42
MooDoo:)07:43
MangledBlueburning now - left the 2nd lappy ready to get cd/dvd - boot menu - won't be long now.....07:46
MangledBlueyou would think that with proper MD5 I would be ok - but - maybe I have a coruppted DL?07:47
diddledancheck the md5 on the download with the one published wherever they publish it07:48
MangledBlueyep - I have a win7 property's thing that check the MD5 and SHA - etc - then looked at the PUB site for correct MD5 - - Oh 1 sec - burn done07:49

MooDoomorning SuperMatt MartijnVdS08:08
* MartijnVdS needs to figure out a way to tell the Ubuntu installer it's OK to install with partial locale support through debconf08:08
MartijnVdSbut there doesn't seem to be an override :(08:09
MartijnVdSthat would automate my VM installs to 100%, instead of 99% + ENTER08:09
diddledanMartijnVdS: why do you need to install partial locale?08:17
MartijnVdSdiddledan: the installer isn't translated to nl_NL, but I want the installed system to be nl_NL (which works fine)08:20
diddledanoh08:21
MartijnVdSthough it can be confusing, seeing Dutch messages from apt and dpkg ;)08:21

ali1234why does centos rename apache to httpd?11:18
ali1234or rather why does rhel do this?11:18
MooDooI think it's more, why did debian change to apache ;)11:20
ali1234because thats what it is called11:20
bigcalmThere's more than one httpd in this world11:27
MooDoofrom what I can tell, in the apache svn system, it is called httpd, rhel never changed it, I'm guessing that debian originally changed it to read what it actually is and called it apache11:29

maps|wrkHello20:43
MartijnVdS\o mapster20:44
maps|wrkwhats up MartijnVdS20:47
* MartijnVdS is playing with VMs20:53
MartijnVdS.. again20:53
diddledananything fun?20:53
MartijnVdSdiddledan: I can click in virt-manager, and have a VM installed with only one or two keypresses (both "enter")20:55
MartijnVdSdiddledan: and it'll be registered with my chef server automagically20:55
diddledanyey20:55
diddledanI've not played with chef20:55
MartijnVdSdiddledan: so I can then drag and drop "roles" onto it, and it'll auto-configure/install a lot of packages :)20:55
diddledannice20:56
MartijnVdSit feels so 21st century :)20:56
maps|wrkhm heard of chef but dunno what it is20:56
diddledandrag+drop?!20:56
maps|wrkwhat are your vms running20:56
MartijnVdSdiddledan: Chef has a web interface :)20:56
MartijnVdSmaps|wrk: Trusty and Precise20:56
shaunoI still have to figure esxi out :/  I don't even want to look at VMs anymore21:26
diddledanthe annoying thing with both xenserver and vmware esxi is that they require windows management tools21:37
shaunoright, that's what I need to avoid21:41
* MartijnVdS uses kvm + libvirt-bin21:41
diddledanyeah libvirt is pretty good these days21:41
shaunomy biggest hold-back is that I'm using premade VMs, and every attempt at converting them has been big pain21:41
diddledanrunning windows?21:42
shaunonah the contents are all redhat variants21:43
diddledanfor some reason microsoft refuse to consider hardware change as a legitimate activity21:43
diddledanthey should be easy to change then21:43
diddledanqemu-img21:44
diddledanthe chances are kvm will read them as is though21:45
shaunoit's not converting the disks that's the issue21:49
maps|wrkwhats ms got to do with the vms and hardware change??21:50
diddledanmaps|wrk: windows throws a hissy when you change the hardware. switching virualisation tech is akin to changing the hardware21:50
shaunoit's just an incredibly frustrating toolchain.  from the outside it looks like a complete mess of tools that are held together by happenstance - if at all21:51
shaunoI've still never managed to get bridged networking working, etc.  most the documentation is a pretty cruel joke21:52
diddledanbridged networking? what virtualisation can't do bridged networking?!21:53
shaunowell, trying to create a lan that's available to the clients21:54
shaunoso I have outside->vm->virtual lan->more vms21:55
gebbionehi folks is meetup.com down for you?21:56
gebbionei have seen it down all day21:56
shaunowhich I can do on my mac just fine.  but I can't run a lab on that.  and trying to replicate it with the linux bridge tools is basically self-harm21:56

shaunoalso https://twitter.com/Meetup21:57
gebbionediddledan, i use that site too, but maybe that site is not so redundant to spot the problem, i was just wandering if anyone else had seen it down throughout the day. I have seen it down since 14:0021:58
