[00:15] not bad for a mass-appeal science programme. bang goes the theory on the iplayer from today [00:16] today they were investigating electricity/the national grid === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [01:27] ah yea [01:27] i saw some of that earlier [02:22] hmm [06:39] @find Dragonwriter [06:49] ;] [06:56] morning all [06:57] morning MooDoo [07:43] jnick_tait: new nickname? :) [07:44] MartijnVdS, same as it ever was [07:46] jnick_tait: oh you're not JamesTait? [07:48] MartijnVdS, now this is going to be as confusing for you as it was for JamesTait and I... my first name is James but I don't use it at all (other than in my IRC nick)... I'm Nick Tait [07:49] * MooDoo did have a head, it's just exploded. [07:50] can someone lend me a hand..if i make a startup script for shoutcast - shoutcast located in /home/shoutcast/shoutcast - running 2 cmds sc_serv sc_serv.conf and sc_trans sc_trans.conf ----- when i run the command it's saying unable to open log directory - the log dir is there though [07:51] put your script into pastebin so people can have a look at it. [07:51] mapps: is it owned by the right user? [07:51] mapps: and/or writable by them? [07:53] hmm [07:54] im not sure? i did update-rc.d shoutcast.sh defaults [07:54] so what perms would i need on the logs ? what would the script be run as [07:54] mapps: that all depends -- it might drop down to non-root itself (as specified in config file), or it might be started as a specific user by the init script [07:54] or something else completely [08:00] the init script i just wrote the command to launch shoutcast [08:00] so im a bit confused :Z [08:07] strace it, check if it drops privs, then check the real error code when it tries to open the log dir -- also check if that log dir is the dir you think it should be [08:07] strace has saved me SO often [08:10] il have to google it..looks comolicated:) [08:10] complicated [08:11] mapps: strace -f -o outputfile THE_COMMAND [08:11] then check "outputfile" for things like "uid", and "open" etc. [08:11] it's just a dump of all the system calls the program does [08:13] 2497 stat64("logs/sc_serv.log", 0xbfad7870) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [08:13] hm [08:13] that's fine -- it's just checking if it's there [08:13] doesn't mean it can't open it :) [08:13] but it looks like the path is relative -- you might have to specify an absolute path [08:13] not sure how i can shoutcast just looks for those files when it starts [08:14] mapps: in the config file, probably? [08:14] mapps: command line options, maybe? [08:15] what's the current working directory? does it start fine if you do it manually (outside the init script) [08:15] if i run the command manually from shoutcast dir it works fine..but my scripts located elsewhere so it fails [08:15] so i probably do need to do like you said? [08:15] specify full path to the logs [08:15] mapps: you need to "cd" to the right directory first [08:16] also, make sure you don't run it as root. Running daemons as root is bad practice these days [08:17] duh thanks it was as easy as cd dir and then it's all fixed [08:17] silly me [08:17] and yea i should switch to user shoutcast to run it..didnt even think about it i manually start it as shoutcast [08:18] mapps: you can use start-stop-daemon for that, or just tell it which user to run as in an upstart script [08:18] upstart scripts++ [08:32] still need to read about upstart scripts;) [08:40] Morning all [08:40] morning diplo [08:42] morning guys [08:54] Good morning all; happy Organize Your Home Office Day! :-D [08:55] MartijnVdS, this is me. jnick_tait is a mere imposter. ;) [08:56] MartijnVdS, we found out about this unfortunate duplication of names when I received a plane ticket for a trip to Hungary three days later. Imagine my surprise! [09:04] morning JamesTait [09:06] I'm still on polar bear day [09:06] MooDoo, o/ [09:09] ;] [09:11] Wooo-hooo linkedin spam in the mailbox today [09:12] that's why I closed my linkedin account [09:12] MooDoo: The email address the spam is coming to has never been given to linkedin [09:13] I don't think I've ever been on the website [09:13] sigh eh! [09:15] Yep [09:16] it must have had a From address [09:16] It did, it was from linkedin [09:17] you could add a procmail rule and send it to /dev/null [09:17] Its just going to a gmail account & ends up in the junk folder anyway [09:19] ive never used it [09:20] I did have a phase a couple of months ago where I tried using LinkedIn more regularly. Never got any replies or conversations though, so gave up [09:21] people only use linkedin when they need a job [09:21] ime [09:23] +1 [09:24] it's interesting when i see dormant accounts suddenly show signs of activity, i know they are looking to leave the company [09:24] yes that's true [09:24] a bit like sherlock and his rats [09:31] My boss followed me, I wish I hadn't accepted now :) [09:32] just delete him now [09:32] its better to accept and delete after [09:32] with those awkward situations [09:32] Especially as I'm actively looking for a job now [09:32] :) [09:32] because people never notice you've removed them [09:33] diplo: you're saying this in a publicly logged place [09:33] * foobarry is hiring a scientific programmer. [09:33] They are not clever enough to know this MartijnVdS [09:33] + not knowing my nick [09:33] :) [09:33] not even the NSA read the whole internet [09:34] and tbh I don't really care :) [09:34] * diplo wants to go back to full time sysadmin tbh [09:34] he'll know when he gets a reference request [09:34] Yep [09:37] where you live diplo? [09:37] Near Bristol [09:38] Well Bath [09:38] ah ok [09:38] But most people know where Bristol is :) [09:38] lot of teenagers don't know where the bath is [09:38] yesh I know was going to show you this - http://www.heartinternet.co.uk/careers but it is a long way away lol [09:38] heh [09:39] Looks a great job! [09:40] just remembered my wife slipped a choc brownie in my pocket [09:40] If I didn't have kids I've debated moving before [09:40] i know someone who commutes from bath->london 3 days a week [09:40] yeah my friend does, well twice a week [09:41] His boss comes from the west coast of wales to london! [09:41] And he drives! [09:41] wow [09:41] Nutter [09:41] :-\ [09:41] stays for the week? [09:41] My friend does, his boss doesn't [09:41] madness [09:42] no job is worth that [09:42] A guy I worked with at my last job drove from Birmingham to Bath everyday for about 4 years [09:42] EVERY day [09:42] He liked it, said it calmed him down after work and he didn't have to spend as much time with his wife [09:42] :) [09:42] he's prob produced more pollution and co2 on just that alone than i'll produce in my life [09:42] I did bring that up [09:43] marry in haste, repent at leisure [09:44] He's in his mid to late 50's i think [09:44] So too late for him :P [09:44] gonna teach my son to be the person that a nice lady would want to marry [09:44] or a nice man! [09:45] foobarry: snap, funny I was discussing this with the wife last night :) [09:46] my son is a bit obsessed with mario atm [09:47] he doesn't play the wii much (1hr on sat morning doing a bit of wii bowling or mario kart), but he spends much more talking about it [09:47] minecraft here [09:47] i fear he is a copy of myself [09:49] My nephew did that for a while, foobarry - he would watch playthrough videos of Mario and he knew all the secret passages [09:49] He's randomly start talking about them at the dining table, which was great fun. [09:50] I'm getting a go pro video camera as my kids are growing up far too fast. [09:51] morning boys and girls. [09:52] morning brobostigon [09:52] morning MooDoo [09:52] brobostigon: how are you matey [09:52] didnt sleep very well, so tired and half a daze. and you? [09:53] go pro seem to aggressively market their product as a brandname everyone refers to like hoover, ipod [09:53] dwatkins: is your nephew diagnosed aspie at all? [09:54] my son exhibits certain traits but not others, he could be just a keen INTJ mathmo type like his dad [10:03] popey: Saw you mention syncthing on G+ - how are you getting on with it ? [10:24] bob crow, enemy of london commuters has died [10:27] Good morning peeps :) [10:28] morning bigcalm [10:44] who was bob crow? [10:44] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Crow [10:47] ah, I think I vaguely remember his name being mentioned somewhere [10:47] probably we need more unions, and especially more cyberuinions [10:48] https://twitter.com/daily_politics/status/435044586524663808/photo/1 [10:48] bashrc: ^^ [10:48] bashrc: as long as they don't end up as stupid as the US unions [10:48] he had a £145k salary and lived in a council house [10:49] eesh [10:50] as with politicians, I think union bosses should be paid the same as the average member [10:50] if their salaries were linked to average earnings then I think we'd see better politics [10:50] i'm sad for his family, i'm not sad for the pointless and dispruptive strikes jsut to get more money for train monkeys [10:51] !politics [10:51] Please take political discussion to ##politics-uk. Thank you! [10:51] ;) [10:53] meow [10:54] anyone used a go pro hero3+ ? [11:04] Morning all [11:05] Morning davmor2 [11:08] morning davmor2 [11:08] morning davmor2 [11:10] anyone ever tried using GPG from within Mutt? [11:11] bashrc: used it for ages [11:11] are there any recommended key combinations? do I need to install gpg.rc ? [11:11] (using mutt-patched) [11:12] bashrc: gpg.rc? what's that? [11:12] I just had a ~/.gnupg and told mutt to sign outgoing mail with my key id [11:12] that was all [11:12] what are the muttrc commands for that? [11:14] Ideally I'd like to set up a key combination to import public keys sent via email [11:14] bashrc: that already exists I think, by default [11:15] bashrc: just go to the attachment and press enter I think? [11:15] hmm. I don't think so [11:15] but maybe there is some muttrc command to do it [11:16] bashrc: it's probably a mailcap thing then, based on mime type [11:16] bashrc: http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-6.html#commands [11:16] ah [11:16] bashrc: pgp_autosign [11:16] I think autosign is only for outgoing mail [11:17] bashrc: it is, and you want tat. [11:17] bashrc: it'll automatically (try to) decrypt incoming mail when you open it [11:17] Ideally I'd like something such as an autoimport for GPG public keys [11:17] that's a ~/.gnupg/ config setting, to retrieve unknown keys. But that makes your keyring HUGE, FAST [11:18] maybe just a mutt key combination then to make importing easy [11:19] bashrc: Make a macro that does something like "| gpg --import" [11:19] indeed [11:19] bigcalm: i like that when you go to ##politics-uk it is just brobostigon sitting in the corner reading a book [11:20] :) [11:20] yes, it has been quiet for a while. [11:20] (tumbleweeds roll by) [11:22] i heard someone call dogecoin "doje coin" [11:23] bashrc: tumbleweed.popey.com [11:23] foobarry: that's how you pronounce "Doge", especially if you mean the ruler of Venice kind ;) [11:23] soundtrack to amelie is the best working music [11:23] MartijnVdS: but the dog kind [11:27] such pronounciation. wow [11:27] very venice [11:59] why i am getting so many job applications from norway lately [11:59] something i should know? [11:59] is norway closing down? [12:00] Norway is being discontinued. [12:02] are they going to opensource it? [12:02] release the code before you shut ! [12:05] o365 broke for ipv6 users for 2 days [12:05] "As a work-around to the Outlook client, customers could disable IPV6 on their local machines and try re-establishing connection. " [12:06] 2.5 days. [12:06] And productivity increased? [12:06] not everyone has ipv4 and ipv6. [12:07] Tell me, can o365 handles datetimes? As in, does it know what "2014/01/02 03:04:05 +0100" is or (like Excel) does it just barf? [12:09] we have o365 but without the office bit LOL [12:12] what's the rest of it? [12:12] email [12:12] which works poorly [12:13] its basically hotmail but worse [12:14] oh, I did sign up for a outlook.com account but I've not actually started using it yet [12:14] what does it get wrong? [12:14] yeah, i bagged the best names x 10 and then promptly forgot [12:15] imap is a massive fail, shared folders massive fail, activesync requires full admin rights on your phone, service breaks *a lot*, reliance upon onsite servers here too(our problem, but double the risk) [12:15] basically i now have a worse service and the calendar is afwul and won't export to gmail either [12:16] foobarry: but if you only used Outlook! It would work! [12:16] also i forwarded a meeting invitation message the other day to someone (just the plain text) and for some reason it emailed the oringinal 40 recipients with my disparaging remarks [12:17] outlook ...non e posibile [12:17] haven't used the windows since early millenium [12:18] except for vsphere client [12:18] the imap doesn't work? I'm not interested in activesync or pretending it's google [12:18] its really faily [12:19] part of the point was to see if being more pretty than Google translated a less crap UX [12:19] every other message i send via TB, TB cannot save it in sent folder [12:19] as in the service goes down a lot? [12:19] the imap implemenetation is so buggy its almost useless [12:19] also take 30s+ to send a message [12:19] often times out with error [12:19] that's SMTP, though [12:20] yes, i've never seen it like that before [12:20] also, cannot do shared folders [12:20] have to set up multiple accounts [12:20] its just horrid [12:21] if you are exclusively webmail , you'll notice a few features that are missing [12:21] but it will generally work if you are happy with that [12:21] I'm mostly interested in one imap mailbox [12:21] with occasional webmail and a calendar [12:21] i've never had imap problems ever...until o365 [12:21] you won't get the calendar into TB [12:21] and much as I'd *like* my calendar on my desktop that's not really something that fits with 21st century linux desktop [12:21] or you might for a week or so [12:22] there is a plugin [12:22] I don't use TB and there's nothing much else that does iCal apart from the less good Evolution [12:22] but its sucky [12:22] what will you use for imap? mutt? [12:22] claws [12:22] try it. but you will get the same sucky sent folder problem [12:23] well, I use TB sometimes and claws most of the time. But I've mostly given up on doing calendar-on-the-desktop because that's even worse than mail-on-the-desktop these days [12:23] BigRedS_: claws has a calendar plugin [12:23] BigRedS_: it's not pretty but it works [12:24] davmor2: yeah, but it can't do "show me the next X weeks" so for the second half of a month it's pretty clunky [12:24] down to my last 10 cvs [12:24] man this is tiring [12:24] BigRedS_: I did say it's not pretty [12:25] davmor2: I'm not arguing :) [12:25] the o365 webcalendar sucks vs gmail one [12:25] you want to drag a selection and add an appt between 3-5 [12:25] but no. [12:25] BigRedS_: and iirc you just get day week month and year views [12:25] you have to click new appt and type it in [12:26] davmor2: is that the outlook one that does that? [12:26] bah, I can't remember the email address *or* the password for this outlook account === BigRedS_ is now known as BigRedS [12:27] BigRedS_: ah no sorry I didn't see outlook in there [12:27] davmor2: ah yeah, I know the claws one only does those views [12:27] tbird does more, including "the next few weeks" but it's also got a weird obsession with HTML mail and line wrapping [12:58] http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/automate-tasks-in-linux-using-actionaz.html [12:58] nice [13:00] boo had to turn my pc off [13:00] dont wanna leave it on while im not here;/ [13:01] where you going? [13:01] just going back to my dads [13:02] at least you can apt-get latest kernels [13:03] argh [13:03] just noticed my passport form my counter signature [13:03] has put shes known me 5 years..and shes a teacher etc [13:03] but not put how [13:03] bollocks [13:03] oops sorry my language [13:03] Can anyone please help me to fix my grep command? [13:04] fix it? whats up [13:04] I type grep ch->spl[4] * and basically its stuck ch->spl[4] infront of every search and spams the heck out of me :/ [13:05] [:spl[4]:spl[4]:spl[4]:spl[4]:spl[4]:spl[4]:spl[4]:spl[4]:spl[4]:act_wiz.c: if ( vch->timer > 0 ) <-- that for example but all over my code [13:05] dramen: the '>' is special in shell, you'll have to escape it. I think [ and ] as well [13:06] dramen: either put the thing you're searchgin for in 'single quotes' or prefix the \"offenders\" with \backslashes [13:06] Trouble is how do i escape it :( [13:09] Back from a house viewing that we instantly want to buy [13:09] Bugger [13:09] great [13:09] no? [13:09] We've only viewed 3 houses so far [13:09] thats good isnt it [13:09] Another 2 to view this week [13:09] less hassle [13:10] Sure. But it means that we might actually be moving soon [13:10] is it warm enough for shorts outside [13:10] no [13:10] or will i look like a loon hmm [13:10] oh [13:10] very no [13:10] just sunny then? [13:10] not even that [13:11] It's very sunny and warm in TF10. But I wouldn't go out in short [13:11] s [13:11] it's 15ish degrees here [13:11] and the sun is out! === alan_g is now known as alan_g|luch === alan_g|luch is now known as alan_g|lunch [13:12] One negative is that the house doesn't have virginmedia, but the street does [13:12] weird [13:12] So it'd mean digging up the driveway [13:12] or luddite owners? [13:13] Not weird. The owners didn't want it when it was on offer [13:13] They didn't want the drive way dug up [13:13] They get 12mb with ADSL. I wonder if it'll be enough for me [13:13] I'm used to 60mb though... [13:14] gah [13:14] bigcalm: my neighbor's house is for sale. It has fibre ;) [13:14] only got 15ins till i gotta go [13:14] train at 14;15 first class :DDDD free food..yessssss [13:14] MartijnVdS: I'm guessing it'll be a little outside the area we're looking ;) [13:14] the streets got dug up for telewest many years ago [13:15] would they have to dig the drive up bigcalm ? i thought thats what they did when we got NTL [13:15] yea [13:15] or cable london in my area [13:15] if a street doesnt have it it wont get it now i think..the dont do new areas..but if a street has it and your property dont its diff [13:15] shonky quality [13:15] we were in the NTL region [13:15] blueyonder was north wasnt it? [13:15] where did telewest cover [13:15] there's water pipes etc gonig to the house, i'm sure they can squeeze a small fibre tube [13:16] they never dug up our front garden [13:16] oh [13:16] i thought they did for us [13:16] cant remember though was like 15 years ago? [13:16] they dug the road but not the drive/graden [13:16] ive got a strange feeling they dug our front garden up [13:16] mapps: good thing they didn't find the bodies :) [13:17] :D [13:17] urgh i had like 3 hours sleep [13:17] they are in the back [13:17] now its a 30min walk [13:17] 1hr30 train then underground then a wait for a lift [13:18] you're going on a train to end up on a lift?!

[14:27] bigcalm: why you thinking about changing ? [14:28] bigcalm: I do [14:28] davmor2: not if I can help it. I want to stick with VM. But the house we looked at today doesn't have VM to the house (though it is in the street) [14:29] BigRedS: what's your impression of it? Do you have your TV via BT as well? [14:29] if it is in the street then you would just need to pay the moving fee of how ever much iirc and all your numbers etc move with you :) [14:31] davmor2: it would mean having the drive dug up as well [14:31] bigcalm: seems pretty good [14:31] nah, no telly [14:31] we've had no issues since we got it but I can't remember when that was [14:31] bigcalm: yeah but that is at there cost :) [14:32] I need to be online instantly. I guess my phone would make do until whatever is in place [14:32] By moving, we will lose our mates rates, so looking at what else is out there is wise [14:32] davmor2: s/there/their/ ?
