[05:35] steam stream [05:36] you can leave a box with a meaty gfx card in a cupboard for all your games and run them remotely on a system that wouldn't ordinarily run the game [05:36] cool [05:36] yeah.. but I don't have a cupboard to put such a machine in.. and my meatiest gfx card is in my i7 [05:37] even better is that if you still have any games that are windows-only you can still run them on linux via steam stream [05:38] yeah that would work i guess [05:38] technically they're running on a windows box but your every-day machine can still be linux [05:48] I need to update my Windows machine [05:48] but I'm afraid it'll cry because changing motherboard leads to them extorting more money for a new license [05:59] morning all === msm is now known as Guest22217 [08:02] morning [08:03] morning [08:19] Good morning all; happy Learn About Composting Day! :-D [08:19] morning [08:21] Hah, this is what happens when you undertake at speed http://static.ilyke.net/uploads/2014/04/30/sub/51288-ilyke.net-large-2v8n0h5.jpg [08:22] ouch and serves them right [08:23] Yep, I find that quite funny [08:24] JamesTait: you are just weird :P [08:24] Morning all [08:25] davmor2, I love you too, mate! :-P [08:25] morning davmor2 [08:26] JamesTait: Well obviously or our 6 week trudge around Frankfurt airport would of been for nothing :D [08:27] 6 weeks? [08:27] It felt like longer than that.... [08:27] JamesTait: hahaha [08:28] JamesTait: it was one big joke really :) [08:28] davmor2, and the aborted landing was the punchline? [08:29] JamesTait: I thought the taxi breaking down was the punchline [08:29] Hahah! [08:29] JamesTait: that or the gate change to the other end of the aiport [08:29] airport even [08:30] If nothing else, it was eventful. [08:30] JamesTait: well you had to laugh or you'd cry [08:33] And there I was, in the lead up to the sprint, thinking "well at least it's pretty close this time. No 14-hour trans-atlantic flight. Should be comparatively relaxed." [08:33] It's all my fault. [08:38] JamesTait: naughty naughty very naughty [08:38] MooDoo, got any salmon? [08:39] lol [08:39] Shhhh! We're showing our age! [08:39] JamesTait: i'm only 22 [08:39] ahem [08:40] Do you only count the even years? :-P [08:40] lol === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [09:25] \leave [09:39] morning boys and girls. [09:41] JamesTait: wrong one he only counts the odd years, he's never been even ;) [09:41] brobostigon: hello [09:42] davmor2: shush you [09:42] davmor2: I'm so not the oldest in here :p [09:42] Morning, brobostigon. :) [09:42] morning MooDoo and JamesTait [09:43] MooDoo: well I think you and popey were both born in the same year if that helps :D [09:43] davmor2: he's soooooo older than me [09:44] MooDoo: How many minutes is Soooooo older? [09:44] TheOpenSourcerer: is older than me ☻ [09:44] OI [09:44] davmor2: I don't know to be honest I'm April [09:45] I may be somewhat older but I still feel like a big kid ;-) [09:45] MooDoo: I think that makes you older than popey too then :P [09:45] davmor2: ah crap [09:45] oops [09:46] i know coldplay get criticised but the music is not that bad. except for the latest album which is completely soulless [09:46] TheOpenSourcerer: That's cause you are :) You're a bloke and you're a geek there is no way on this earth that you are not going to be a big kid :) [10:34] saw an unusual bird yesterdy, cannot find it on the rspb site [10:34] How does one abort an install that's started? Tried to install Solaar and now it wants to install GDM and a bunch of other cruft I don't want. [10:34] ctrl+c ? [10:34] Started in Muon - can't find a cancel option. [10:35] Seems to be install the whole of Gnome. Rats. [11:02] davmor2: Solaar can see my Logitech reciever, but can't open it. Thanks for the tip on Solarr; I'll dig into this permission grief.... === mohammad is now known as Guest59637 [11:05] TwistedLucidity: oh :( [11:09] davmor2: I've probably not added myself to the right group or something daft. I'm pleased it can see the receiver though. [11:19] davmor2: Yup - I need to add myself to "plugdev" and it seems KDE has no way of managing group membership by default. Ho hum. [11:20] TwistedLucidity: shuggin fashin kde [11:20] davmor2: It's got some nice features, but there are times..... [11:23] TwistedLucidity: I love the kubuntu team they do some great work with upstream KDE they are well respected and produce a really nice desktop, On the down side I hate kde as a desktop it just scrambles my head sometimes. I do however love some of the apps :) [11:28] day off ♥ [11:28] Myrtti: jealous [11:29] andylockran: well, I'm more jealous of the sensible way of dealing with bank holidays [11:29] 1st of May is a day off no matter what day of the week it is, and if it falls on the weekend, then, oh well. [11:30] Ascension Day is always a day off, who cares it's a Thursday and you need to return to work for Friday [11:31] Myrtti: muhahahahahaha === msm is now known as Guest60862 [11:50] davmor2: Guess who has the exact reveiver Solaar doesn't support? Story of my life... LOL [11:51] TwistedLucidity: D'oh [11:53] Good morning peeps :) [11:53] davmor2: Seeing as how the batteries last a year or so (and the mouse has a "Low battery" warning light) it's not a huge issue. Would have been nice though. [11:53] Will have to try the cheapie TekNet mouse I bought - see if that gets picked up by anything [11:54] TwistedLucidity: haha [12:20] VLC used to give 2 interfaces when opening 2 different files. Now it only plays in one interface. Anybody know how to restore the previous functionality? === david is now known as Guest60701 [12:35] bigcalm: look at the options? [12:35] bigcalm: at a guess view === msm is now known as Guest8481 [12:47] http://oggcamp.org/ ☻ [12:50] i had to think for a surprisingly long time about where the oxford hotel is [12:51] and i have been a student here for 4 years [13:03] whee, it's not in Liverpool this time [13:03] wow [13:04] argh i think my wife is on a hen weekend the we/nd [13:04] Oxford?! [13:04] Bit closer to home for us [13:06] Oh joy [13:06] It's the same weekend as PHPNW14 [13:07] Which one do I miss this year? [13:14] PHP is overrated [13:14] ☻ [13:15] bigcalm: people still use php? [13:15] :D [13:16] popey: True, also an Oggcamp question while people are on the subject [13:16] will there be an openhardware thing again? [13:16] If so, I'll need to rouse Reading Hackspace into action [13:17] daubers: no idea, I'm not organising this year, marxjohnson is [13:17] popey: Best to tweet/email/gplus/stalk him? [13:17] yes [13:17] Which is best :) [13:18] or the @oggcamp account, or both [13:18] twitter [13:18] okies :) Will do [13:19] missed it last year, if it's in Oxford this year I have no excuse [13:19] yeah, should be a lot easier for everyone [13:19] *except neuro [13:19] :) [13:19] (who wouldn't come anyway unless it was at the end of his road) ㋛ [13:20] Oxford?! wht usually happens at oggcamp?

[13:24] heh, j/k [13:24] please not to be joking [13:25] neuro: is it not accurate? :D [13:25] i'm gutted i've missed the last LRL and all the oggcamps [13:25] awww [13:25] daftykins: seriously, shush [13:26] d'aww why so serious, sir [13:26] shhhhhhhh [13:27] hmm put a HDD that's twice as fast in benchmarks, in this old late 2007 macbook [13:27] * bigcalm does not feed the popey & davmor2 trolls [13:27] 2.74GB of updates for OS X Lion [13:28] bigcalm: awwwww nice you think I was trolling :D [13:39] sup uk peeps :p [13:41] word [13:43] yo [13:43] * SuperMatt wonders who this Armag3dd0n1 is to stroll on to our turf [13:44] SuperMatt: does it matter? Armag3dd0n1 welcome :D [13:44] shh [13:44] I was trying to be all gangsta and indimidating [13:45] SuperMatt: you're doing it wrong. A simple "Muhahahahahahahaha another victim" should suffice :) [13:46] maybe that's what I'm doing wrong [13:46] Muhahahahahahahaa, another victim! [13:46] * SuperMatt eyes up jmg_ [13:46] * Armag3dd0n1 laughs [13:47] You don't have to be mad to come in here, but it helps [13:48] Are google helpouts still a thing? [13:49] I signed up and got accepted but not used it yet [13:49] yes they are [13:49] they are still about I've only just got mine myself, it took ages. [13:49] but I'm not doing them any more [13:49] turns out working as a racker takes up a lot of time [13:49] that and my dancing and my running [13:49] so something had to be let go [13:49] popey: we were having a play with this at some point - http://www.ubuntu-helpouts.org/ [13:50] SuperMatt: dancing, sir? [13:50] dancing! [13:50] I shall be performing for the Queen herself in a matter of weeks [13:51] SuperMatt: wearing a pink tutu at the weekend does not make you a dancer [13:51] oh, sick burn! [13:51] it'd be such a shame if I didn't have VIDEO EVIDENCE! [13:52] http://youtu.be/aXcgdg3AnA0 [13:52] davmor2: I prefer purple and green tuutuus, pink ones just make you look silly [13:52] * daftykins tries to spot SuperMatt [14:01] daftykins: it's not difficult if you know what I look like [14:02] lol [14:03] MooDoo, I just requested an invite code from google so when that arrives I might have to be reminded of the ubuntu-helpouts.org addy [14:26] diddledan_: no probs :D [15:03] anyone ever reported a firefox bug before? [15:03] well, this one's more a design fail [15:03] nope [15:04] Yes [15:04] Reminds me, they want some tests run. [15:06] TwistedLucidity: oh? [15:07] daftykins: Yeah. The folks I'm talking too seem pretty on the ball. Like they actually give a damn. [15:07] :O ooh do you have a channel with some worth prodding? [15:09] Bugzilla [15:09] just the site itself? [15:09] Yeah [15:10] My issue was an actual crash. If it's a design "thing" then, depending on the "thing", it may need to go through a different channel. [15:10] *nod* [15:10] As the "thing" might be a matter of opinion. Bound to an IRC/subreddit/mail-list/design-cabal somewhere [15:12] i have reported a few [15:14] hilariously i've upped an image to an image site and yet its' address doesn't work [15:15] For that kinda muck I use imgur. Seems to be OK. [15:16] yeah that's where i was [15:16] the exact image ID isn't working on any other computer XD [15:17] On the right there should be various links. Maybe it take a moment to get cached/stored? [15:17] not quite my first foray into such things, it's definitely gone wonky [15:18] http://i.imgur.com/ogx8gQ0.png [15:19] You just need a bigger stick [15:19] that's better [15:19] second time [15:19] Mac user? BURN THE UNBELIEVER! [15:19] :-P [15:20] setting up a friends as it goes. [15:20] I'm only teasing [15:20] what's the problem? [15:20] i know, but i definitely don't want to be associated with buying apple gear [15:21] ali1234: it's very minor really, but you can't dismiss the tour before selecting an answer to the default browser question - which if you're picking yes, you can't do :) [15:21] the only route is to manually drag out the window to get it to not overlap [15:21] just maximize the window? [15:22] Minor, but annoying. Yes. [15:22] right, but the top right window control doesn't work in that instance so you have to drag it out [15:22] i just don't think new users should be met with this on initial run [15:22] it'll make them pick no :) [15:23] I wouldn't buy apple gear. I just don't like the closedness [15:23] I like the build quality and the design of some things. I lack the deep pockets. [15:23] Also, I like being able to fix my kit. [15:26] i would buy the apple hardware but i wouldn't be able to run OS X because it's just so ugly and difficult to use [15:28] indeed, very poor window management [15:29] those icons tho [15:31] i've only just noticed that the panel is a trapezoid because it's supposed to be 3d. lol [15:31] i always thought it was just a weird shape [15:31] that explains the ugly reflections too [15:32] :D [15:32] that sounds more personal though [15:32] There's a few things like that for GNU/Linux too. Never go on with them. Too hard to see what was running. [15:32] it's almost like... a shelf [15:33] TwistedLucidity: yes, unity being the most commonly used [15:34] ali1234: Was thinking for of Cairo Dock or whatever it was called. Can't get along with Unity either. :-( [15:34] unity at least looks nice [15:34] TwistedLucidity: elementary frw [15:34] Thta's a matter of opinion [15:34] whoops [15:34] the thing about opinions is that mine are all correct [15:35] rofl [15:36] that's just incredibly grating to read :P [16:25] how cna you see your own full connection string?

[18:12] 1280 by 800 or 1440 by 900 [18:15] i think its 1280 by 800, [18:15] 14.04 is running nice on that machine :) [18:15] the only thing is ... I installed grub on the wrong partition ... [18:19] knack native [18:19] bah [18:25] hmm.. i just installed Grub on the wrong partition. [20:51] yoo ; [20:51] Hello everyone..... [20:51] I have a question for you, my cmd/code is not working [20:52] My $find . -type f -iname 'thumbs.db' -print0 | xargs -0 cp -t /output_folder/ [20:53] it works in the sense that it finds my files and copies them out but because they all have the same name they overwrite each one and i have only one left [20:53] what am i doing wrong ???
