[00:00] is it AC3 or DTS or something? [00:00] ripped from DVD/blu-ray? [00:01] MS MPEG-4 Video v3 (DIV3) [00:01] what about the audio stream though? [00:02] AC3 [00:14] ah people around [00:14] hello [00:17] maps speaks everyone goes:( [01:29] grmpf [01:33] :o [02:13] hi guys. i'm having some problems with nfs shares. i'm getting "exportfs /home/username/dir does not support NFS export" [02:14] not sure who's still awake at this time and wants to troubleshoot nfs issues :) [06:44] morning [07:04] mornin === Guest3812 is now known as mappps [08:54] morning [09:35] Morning [09:40] \o [09:57] morning boys and girls. [11:07] I like to eat mussels :) [11:09] weird! [11:58] installing pump.io seems really complicated === bashrc_ is now known as bashrc [11:59] i have tried several times, and could never get it installed never mind running. [12:00] statusnet was a lot easier [12:01] yes, that i got woprking somewhat easier. [12:31] Good morning peeps :) [12:57] * penguin42 yawwwnnnns at bigcalm [13:07] looks like my proxy ports are messed up [15:10] afternoon [15:18] * MartijnVdS removes a metric ***ton of scopes [15:18] bye "firefoxbookmarks", bye "virtualbox" [15:18] bye "mediascanner" (whatever that may be) [15:20] unity-scope-gourmet?! [15:20] Why is this installed? === daftykin1 is now known as daftykins [18:36] MartijnVdS: Presumably it's so that when Popey searches for Flapjack he gets something less offensive [18:36] penguin42: I just removed the packages. [18:43] mmmmm flapjack [18:43] i was just considering making some flapjack tonight [18:43] as i have no post-meal snacks :) [18:43] https://www.dropbox.com/s/u12adt43n47o0bh/flapjack.jpg [18:56] nom [18:58] hello all [19:04] heya [19:18] Common sense prevails [at last]. Thank youy. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-takes-important-step-towards-modernising-copyright [19:22] hey all, has anyone had problems with nfs on 12.04? i'm getting 'does not suppport NFS export' errors when trying to share a folder in my home [19:31] skinofstars: Have you got the appropriate packages installed? [19:32] penguin42: nfs-kernel-server, portmap, rpcbind... i think that's all i need [19:32] skinofstars: Yeh that should work [19:33] skinofstars: when you say you're trying to share a folder in your home - how? Just by doing /etc/exports or some other way? [19:33] hrmm anyone know off hand if there's a decent virtualbox driver in a package for trusty? [19:33] +graphics [19:33] penguin42: yep. adding it to /etc/exports, then running exportfs -ar [19:34] daftykins: trusty certainly does have virtualbox-quest packages - whether they're decent I can't say [19:34] skinofstars: What filesystem is your home? [19:34] penguin42: just trying to run an OpenGL app, would it be virtualbox-guest-x11 ? [19:35] penguin42: ext4 [19:36] skinofstars: Not encrypted or anything? [19:36] penguin42: actually, the filesystem isn't even partioned up. i doubt very much it was encrypted. this is a preinstalled ubuntu on a dell laptop [19:37] one of those dell xps developer laptops [19:39] penguin42: that said, there is a .ecryptfs file in /home, so it might well be [19:39] penguin42: damn, that means i'm gonna have to mount it outside the home folder, doesn't it [19:44] skinofstars: Hmm i'm betting it's ecryptfs - I've never looked at nfs exporting those [19:44] skinofstars: When you reinstlal your laptop with Trusty, [19:45] skinofstars: Use full disk luks encryption - it's 1) safer 2) has no problem with nfs [19:46] penguin42: wicked, thanks. my own fault here for assuming it wasn't home encrypted. i'll do the mount workaround for now. appreciate you talking through it. [19:54] no problem [19:58] heh solved my issue [19:58] needed to purge nvidia files to get a stock config back, after having installed vbox guest additions [19:59] (this particular respin of ubuntu is for XBMC and thus comes with drivers out of the box that aren't handy) [20:13] Evening slackers [20:16] hi popey what's new? [20:27] i made a few webapps for ubuntu phone this weekend [20:27] for fun [20:33] hi [20:35] popey, can we still get officual ubuntu cd's [20:36] they'd have to be DVDs now [20:36] well yeah [20:37] that is fine [20:37] i think they will press lts only so that is 14.04 [20:38] we only press LTS [20:38] and clearly that's not done yet [20:38] ok [20:38] so can we get some from alan B like before paying postage [20:39] i am planning ahead [20:40] Visiting parents is somewhat boring [20:40] lol [20:42] i have no idea [20:42] Spent 4+ hours configuring a windows 8.1 20" tablet for my mother today [20:42] ouch [20:42] 1st experience of windows 8.1, don't want to use it again [20:42] wait what [20:42] 20"!? [20:42] it took me 1 hour on Wednesday to set up debian (minimal install) with a MC server [20:42] Yep [20:43] It's an "all-in-one" [20:43] why 4 hours [20:43] Sony Vaio Tap 20 [20:44] so its a pc? [20:44] with a battery? [20:48] the big touchscreen stuff is nice [20:48] they've just put a big ~60" touchscreen in Manchester library showing old maps that you can zoom into - nice [20:48] i take it 14.04 supports touch screens [20:50] not really [20:50] define "supports"? [20:50] not unless you run the unity 8 preview [20:50] it supports them via the usual mouse emulation :) [20:51] same as it always did [20:51] ok [20:52] popey: yes [20:52] those 20" tablets are pretty cool [20:53] just a pity they run win 8 [20:53] intel? [20:53] yes [20:53] * penguin42 was geekily thinking the type of consoles ST:NG had where they swung across a chair would work [20:53] they are proper PCs [20:53] they are like that apple mac where everything is in the monitor [20:53] imac? [20:53] but with a battery? [20:53] i dunno what they are called [20:53] Asus threatened to release one of them years back [20:53] yeah, with a battery and touchscreen [20:53] i nearly bought one [20:54] but they didnt sell the battery one in this country [20:54] you put it on your desktop and it's just like a normal monitor [20:54] and it turned out to have crappy GPU [20:54] so I bought an imac [20:54] well they probably still have a weak GPU [20:55] but you have to go to a big box PC to avoid that [20:56] Seeing lots of Google Play adverts on telly at the moment [20:56] The 27" iMac comes with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M, which is better than what I have in my desktop PC. [20:56] okay, big box PC or ridiculously expensive luxury apple product :) [20:57] dunno why my imac has but its nvidia [20:57] could do with putting a bigger disk in it actually [20:57] I gather most Apple products compare well with PCs of the same spec, they just start at high spec, there are no budget options. [20:57] but that's a massive PITA [20:57] dwatkins: they really don't [20:58] popey: is it even a model where you can? :) [20:58] Well, they used to. [20:58] ali1234: Some do - I just wish PC laptops would more commonly use the HD displays [20:58] they come out at a similar price if you include the physical size of the product [20:58] daftykins: what makes you ssay it cant [20:59] popey: just depends when you bought it for how sane it is to get into i guess [20:59] So you get what you pay for. [20:59] yes, you get luxury if you pay for it [20:59] I like my macbook, it's nice and sturdy. [21:00] daftykins: yes, you can, i have seen guides online [21:00] but tbh I'd probably take it and get it done because I cba [21:00] you need suction cups to remove the iMac screen to get inside [21:00] yeah [21:01] maybe one of those hybrid drives [21:01] that's what I put in my macbook, popey - 750 GB hybrid Seagate [21:01] GTX 780M is actually worse than my graphics card :) [21:02] I have a 660, but I'm more concerned with CPU performance, so chose something that would do fairly well but not be expensive [21:02] june 2009 is apparently when i bought the kitchen imac [21:02] not bad really, it's used daily [21:02] likewise with my 2010 macbook [21:02] 320GB disk is getting a bit tight [21:03] oh is it a 2010 one? [21:03] my clients one is a mid-2010 and that was easy peasy [21:03] main issue is how to mount the SSD though given the original cage was obviously for the 3.5" disk [21:03] i just used double sided sticky pads in the end :D [21:03] mine is, daftykins, yeah - it's really easy to get the base off to replace the hard drive, upgrade RAM etc. - stuff has changed a lot in that regard recently, though, as you probably know. [21:04] indeed [21:04] that's why i was getting at the age of popey's [21:04] mine cant be 2010 [21:04] i bought it in 2009 [21:04] ah might be even easier then [21:04] the serial number will tell you what model it is, you can look it up on everymac [21:04] i just bought a single suction cup, plenty :) [21:05] well, it's a 2009 20" ☻ [21:05] 2.66 [21:05] dwatkins: the 780M should be pretty similar to the 660 performance wise, and the 780M is about half of a 780 [21:05] 780M has much lower power use of course, being a mobile part [21:05] popey: you could probably even ditch the optical for a second drive :) [21:05] no, i need that [21:06] http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+20-Inch+EMC+2266+Hard+Drive+Replacement/919 [21:08] doesn't look as bad as I thought [21:09] now, which drive... [21:10] sticking to mechanical for capacity's sake? [21:10] or a lovely big SSD :) [21:10] well, i want capacity and to not have to do this again [21:10] so probably 2TB [21:10] but then I'll need a big USB disk for backups too [21:11] WD Red if it stays on all the time \o/ [21:11] yeah, its on most of the time [21:11] I'm waiting for 1TB SSDs to come down in price. [21:11] buy shouldn't. i will make it power off [21:11] unfortunately if someone else is logged in, it doesnt shutdown [21:12] can't you sleep it? [21:12] you can but it prompts for the admin pass [21:12] whats special about red drives daftykins ? [21:12] ah ok, I'm admin so that wouldn't be an issue for me, but I see what you mean. [21:12] i have 4 users [21:12] certified for 24/7 running and 3yr warranty [21:13] WD Red according to scan.co.uk: "The drives are designed and extensively tested for compatibility in the unique 24x7 operating environment and demanding system requirements of home and small office NAS." [21:13] oh [21:13] it doesnt need 24/7 [21:13] I have three 3TB Seagate Barracudas in my NAS, one of them started giving SMART errors last week. [21:13] so, i want something big and fast [21:13] hybrid I guess [21:13] there's a fairly recent survey of drive life time isn't there? [21:14] I only know of Google's disk survey from a few years back. [21:14] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-ST2000DX001-Hybrid-Internal-Solid/dp/B00ELAVI3I [21:14] If anyone has good stats on hard drive lifetimes, it'll be Google. [21:14] no, there was a much more recent one [21:14] any reason not to get that? [21:15] http://blog.backblaze.com/2014/01/21/what-hard-drive-should-i-buy/ [21:16] so hitachi 2TB [21:16] popey: I'd say a seagate hybrid wouldn't be a bad buy [21:16] ^i've used a Lenovo with one, they're nice [21:17] as long as you're happy with whatever warranty seagate offer, it should be good [21:17] warranty is probably least of my worries [21:17] my normal approach with drive warranties is just to put them on the deadpile and not buy that brand for a while [21:17] I never return drives unless they'll do it just with the top plate - never return data [21:18] i have never returned a drive [21:18] well, i returned an entire laptop with a duff drive once [21:19] the kitchen imac has been one of my better computer purchases [21:20] as has wifeys mbp [21:21] Popey: Do you use it when making apple pie? [21:22] i do not [21:22] \o/ ordered drive and suction cups, thanks for the advice chaps [21:23] you do get some bizarre orders with Macs - I remember the time when the norm was RAM and a putty knife [21:25] hahaha [21:26] iFixit call them 'spudgers' [21:27] so does "Dave" (the crazy ozzie) [21:27] i have previously upgraded the RAM from 2GB it came with to 8GB [21:27] dwatkins: No, not the little ones for clips, the big putty knifes you needed to get into a Mac Mini [21:27] ahh [21:27] so this will probably be the last upgrade for the plucky imac that could [21:27] popey: I take it that wasn't a case of removing the display [21:28] RAM goes in at the bottom on those [21:28] couple o' screws [21:28] handy [21:28] 4 x SODIMMs iirc [21:29] 2x [21:30] ah perhaps that one was more restricted [21:30] i was able to take RAM from one of my clients machines and put it in the iMac to double up, then buy one set for the MBP
