[06:13] <Hornet> bloody thing
[06:13] <Hornet> anyone tried to install ubuntu server from a usb stick?
[06:13] <Hornet> no luck whatever I do
[06:15] <Hornet> let's try yet again with unetbootin this time...
[06:23] <Hornet> both pendrive linux and linuxlive won't work with server, latter did with desktop ubu
[06:23] <Hornet> only have one stick so can't keep messing around with isos constantly either
[06:23] <Hornet> takes ages to reset
[06:23] <Hornet> nor can I boot into desktop, then create a server usb from there
[06:23] <Hornet> won't have it
[06:25] <Hornet> unetbootin is whiting out, looks like its installing at a rate of a meg a minute
[06:25] <Hornet> this is going to take a bloody yea
[06:25] <Hornet> r
[06:25] <Hornet> sigh
[06:54] <mapps> hey
[07:47] <Hornet> aloha
[07:59] <mapps> morning
[10:58] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[11:20] <marxjohnson> Any Lovefilm/Amazon Prime subscribers had any luck getting Amazon Instant Video working with Silverlight?
[11:20] <marxjohnson> I just get "Service Error (1002)" when I try to load a video
[11:21] <marxjohnson> s/Silverlight/Pipelight
[12:26] <popey> marxjohnson: i had it working once, then it broke, i fettled with various things like the user agent string and couldn' make it work again (this was netflix, but similar)
[12:27] <marxjohnson> popey: Hmm. I've had Lovefilm Instant working fine up to now with Pipelight and a Windows user agent (occasionally had to reinstall pipelight when they updated something), but no joy at all with Amazon yet
[12:34] <marxjohnson> It doesn't block me entirely, so it accepts the user agent, just fails at actually loading a video
[13:12] <foobarry> lol @ piersmorgan
[13:12] <foobarry> whats the ultimate image switch to do between PM and jez clarkson
[13:28] <foobarry> Hornet: i dd'ed an image last week to usb for ubunt server
[13:37] <BigRedS> Hornet what happens when it doesn't work?
[13:57]  * jussi installs ubuntu touch to see how progress is going...
[14:22] <foobarry> just tried using the overdrive plugin for calibre and my local library. hope i didn't just accidentally check out a load of books :S
[14:25] <foobarry> an excess of "for dummies" and a lack of "oreilly"
[15:16] <popey> Afternoon
[15:16] <nigelb> Hello popey
[18:08] <DJones> Afternoon
[18:08] <daftykins> heya
[18:08] <daftykins> how goes it?
[18:08] <DJones> Not bad, just back from a christening
[18:08] <DJones> Now to get on with something useful and try to work out how to add nvidia on this laptop
[18:09] <daftykins> :)
[18:09] <daftykins> optimus tech is it?
[18:10] <DJones> I assume so, not described as optimus, but it has both builtin intel and an nvidia 750
[18:11] <DJones> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
[18:12] <DJones> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] (rev a1)
[18:12] <daftykins> yeah that'll be it
[18:12] <daftykins> nvidia prime for you then i guess :)
[18:13] <DJones> Thats what I thought
[18:14] <DJones> I found a webpage with instructions last night, just trying to find it again
[18:15] <DJones> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics Seems right
[18:16] <DJones> bigcalm: How did you get on with installing nvidia on your new laptop? Is that optimus or just straight nvidia
[18:16] <daftykins> you put 14.04 on, yeah?
[18:16] <DJones> Yep
[18:16] <daftykins> i think it's meant to be a lot easier to get prime going on that
[18:17] <DJones> Number 4 on here seems hopefull http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/8-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[18:19] <daftykins> looking good :>
[18:19] <daftykins> there may be newer than the 319 driver by now 0o not sure if it's supported with prime though
[18:20] <DJones> 60FPS with the intel driver runnning in glxgears
[18:21] <daftykins> sounds vsync capped 0o
[18:25] <DJones> Ah well, built and installed
[18:25] <DJones> Time to reboot
[18:25] <DJones> See you on the other side (hopefully)
[18:28] <DJones> Ah well, rebooted ok
[18:29] <DJones> WTH..... 18038 FPS with nvidia
[18:29] <bigcalm> DJones: things have settled down. Have been playing Portal 2 with the intel drivers without problem :)
[18:30] <DJones> Right, nvidia seems to have installed without any issues at all
[18:30] <DJones> Just going to try minecraft
[18:30] <bigcalm> DJones: be careful with putting the laptop into sleep while running from the nvidia drivers
[18:30] <DJones> Might even consider installing steam now
[18:30] <bigcalm> You might want to look at using profiles in x-settings
[18:31] <bigcalm> DJones: run intel for every day use and then switch to nvidia when you want to do something graphics intensive
[18:31] <DJones> How do you switch between intel & nvidia
[18:32] <bigcalm> Via profiles in x-settings
[18:32] <DJones> minecraft is really smooth
[18:32] <DJones> Ta
[18:32] <bigcalm> I have to go for tea now. davmor2 will be able to help more :D
[18:32] <DJones> Great thanks, missed that just having a quick glance
[18:33] <DJones> Thanks for the tips
[18:33] <DJones> I guess I should make the effort to copy my user data off my old laptop now
[18:40] <Azelphur> Accidentally washed USB stick...still works \o/
[18:44] <penguin42> nice clean bits?
[18:45] <Azelphur> indeed \o/
[18:47] <hazrpg> Azelphur: \o/
[18:54] <daftykins> Azelphur: did you use flash detergent? \o/
[18:54] <Azelphur> haha, bold I think xD
[18:54] <penguin42> Azelphur: Well that's 2-in-1 - perfect for data
[18:55] <Azelphur> hehe
[18:58] <DJones> ow do I stop alt-t when running irssi through ssh from terminal grabbing catching the Terminal menu, rather than changing irssi channel
[18:59] <DJones> s/ow/How/
[19:01] <daftykins> hrmm i only use alt+n
[19:01] <popey> DJones: i had that recently
[19:02] <popey> DJones: there'a a menu option in the terminal to turn off menus
[19:02] <DJones> I changed it on my last laptop, just can't remember how to change it now
[19:03] <popey> right click properties?
[19:03] <popey> s/properties/preferernces/
[19:03] <popey> I use terminator these days now focus follows mouse works nicely with locally integrated menus
[19:04] <DJones> Can't seem to find anything to set it, I thought it was in keyboard shortcuts, bu even with menu access keys disabled it makes no difference, that could be a bug though
[19:06] <DJones> I think thats what I changed last time
[19:17] <DJones> popey: What was that system/speed check website you mention now and again
[19:32] <popey> uhm
[19:32] <popey> dunno
[19:33] <DJones> It was a list of peoples computers that had run a script/command
[19:33] <popey> oh
