penguin42 | hmm, hadn't looked up the lyrics for 'Super Trouper before - I wonder how the people of Glasgow feel about the line 'I was sick and tired of everything When I called you last night from Glasgow' | 12:47 |

mapps | hi al | 19:23 |
diddledan | m00 | 19:26 |
mapps | sup | 19:33 |
daftykins | hello | 19:47 |
daftykins | mapps: what's new? | 19:47 |
mapps | not much | 19:48 |
mapps | in czech now | 19:48 |
mapps | :D | 19:48 |
daftykins | :O | 19:48 |
diddledan | what are you doing in such a random place? | 19:48 |
daftykins | mapps: Pilsner Urquell comes highly recommended by a mate, though he's not into the kinda drinks i am. Czech beer, though | 19:48 |
diddledan | I think doesn'texististan is near there, right? | 19:49 |
mapps | it is nice daftykins | 19:49 |
mapps | but i feel too rough to drink atm tbh | 19:49 |
diddledan | aah, you've got chequered-belly :-p | 19:49 |
diddledan | anyone fancy a game of chess? | 19:50 |
mapps | hahaha diddledan seeing a friend | 19:50 |
diddledan | :-p | 19:50 |
mapps | i work with | 19:50 |
mapps | ;D | 19:50 |
diddledan | mapps can be the chess-board | 19:50 |
daftykins | i'm at last taking apart my own laptop | 19:51 |
popey | moo | 19:51 |
daftykins | feels kinda... weird to be working on my own | 19:51 |
daftykins | popey: o/ | 19:51 |
shauno | because you've no-one else to blame if you find fully-grown dust bunnies in there? | 19:51 |
diddledan | popey: my sentiments exactly - as evidenced by my own utterance at [20:26:07] | 19:52 |
daftykins | shauno: i will definitely be blaming my cat | 19:52 |
shauno | I'm not sure I'd trust a cat with cleaning the fan vents | 19:52 |
diddledan | cats are likely to forget the anti-static strap | 19:53 |
shauno | or make poor contact with it | 19:53 |
daftykins | why yes, we all use said straps *whistle* | 19:53 |
popey | I think i may re-install ubuntu on my laptop | 19:53 |
popey | pondering what disk layout to use | 19:53 |
mapps | daftykins, howcome youre working | 19:54 |
diddledan | popey: I'd go for MBR or GPT myself | 19:54 |
diddledan | </troll> :-p | 19:54 |
shauno | tsk tsk tsk daftykins | 19:54 |
popey | pondering raid0 | 19:54 |
diddledan | ooh, pushing the boat out | 19:54 |
daftykins | mapps: given it being sunday? | 19:54 |
popey | wondering if it actually will make any difference | 19:55 |
shauno | you really should. almost all esd damage is really, really subtle. | 19:55 |
mapps | just doing what | 19:55 |
daftykins | popey: across a pair o' SSDs? | 19:55 |
popey | yes | 19:55 |
daftykins | do recent Linux kernels pass TRIM to members of such a config fine, still? | 19:56 |
popey | yes | 19:56 |
daftykins | i believe in the Windows world it's been a quirk/challenge with Intel drivers for quite some time | 19:56 |
popey | but there's some evidence that its better to not do that | 19:56 |
popey | but just run a cron job periodically to trim the drives | 19:57 |
daftykins | interesting | 19:57 |
daftykins | mapps: SSD upgrade time | 20:08 |
mapps | ah | 20:09 |
daftykins | ha-har, a perfectly clean cooler | 20:09 |
daftykins | not even a cat living with me has tainted this Asus yet :> | 20:09 |

daftykins | haha | 20:56 |
daftykins | now the Stig stuff is the part of TG that i *can* handle, since there's no talking ;) | 20:57 |
diddledan | lol | 21:00 |
daftykins | thank you Guernsey health benefit card, you make opening my laptop so easy | 21:01 |
diddledan | :-) | 21:01 |
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
daftykins | haha, benchmarking this new SSD now | 21:14 |
daftykins | omw | 21:14 |
diddledan | that bad? | 21:17 |
daftykins | that good! | 21:17 |
diddledan | bah | 21:17 |
daftykins | 256GB Crucial m4 -> 512GB Crucial MX100 | 21:18 |
diddledan | ooh, twice as long | 21:18 |
daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/s/480wh0a1uh1w50z/Crucial%20upgrade.png | 21:20 |
diddledan | doubled the top two | 21:21 |
diddledan | the bottom two are similar or slightly better | 21:21 |
diddledan | I wonder why the write on 4k went down? | 21:22 |
daftykins | yeah, not sure | 21:23 |
daftykins | it's pretty close though | 21:23 |
diddledan | might be because the operating system is different | 21:23 |
daftykins | amusingly Crucial's website doesn't even have the MX100 listed on the support pages yet | 21:23 |
daftykins | ja | 21:23 |
diddledan | so it's more a platform issue | 21:23 |
diddledan | at least overall it's a much faster drive | 21:23 |
daftykins | will i see it of course, is another thing... but meh, twice the size | 21:24 |
daftykins | £133 delivered for 512GB and that performance is just... mind blowing | 21:24 |
diddledan | yeah, I tend to be of the opinion with SSD that provided it is "average speed for an ssd" I won't notice much difference between different models - it's the transition from hdd to ssd that I'll notice | 21:25 |
daftykins | absolutely | 21:25 |
diddledan | and as you say, space has been the problem with SSD until recently | 21:26 |
diddledan | finally we're getting decent space for the price | 21:26 |
diddledan | it's almost worthwhile now for putting things on besides your OS | 21:26 |
diddledan | I've got a 128G in my desktop - it's too small to do anything with really | 21:27 |
daftykins | yeah, i could *almost* consider putting my music collection on | 21:27 |
diddledan | considering the main benefit is for games which need to load large textures and models it's really been a case that you can only have one decent AAA game installed at a time | 21:28 |
diddledan | consider for example the starwarts online thingy is a 20GB download | 21:28 |
diddledan | p.s. pew pew | 21:29 |
daftykins | lol | 21:34 |
daftykins | knew this would happen | 21:34 |
daftykins | i accidentally activated my win8.1 upgrade copy once in a VM | 21:34 |
diddledan | just phone the number | 21:35 |
diddledan | I've done it many times | 21:35 |
daftykins | i just had to phone MS and go through the whole system of entering 8 blocks of 6 digits | 21:35 |
daftykins | yarr | 21:35 |
daftykins | have you heard their new audible CAPTCHA? :) | 21:35 |
diddledan | is it meant to be a CAPTCHA? | 21:35 |
daftykins | hilariously it's asked me to enter "eleven" on both calls i've recently placed, now | 21:35 |
daftykins | i'd expect so | 21:35 |
diddledan | or just a way of calibrating? | 21:36 |
daftykins | calibrating 0o | 21:36 |
diddledan | e.g. press # twice | 21:36 |
daftykins | well a guy's voice says "for security purposes please enter the number: <number in word form>" | 21:37 |
diddledan | yeah, they route all those calls to the US so I would imagine they have to cope with various different country-specific tones | 21:37 |
daftykins | *nod* | 21:37 |
daftykins | now for 947MB of updates (round 1) | 21:37 |
diddledan | I'm not saying you're wrong, and I'm right, just positing an alternative thought - it could be either really | 21:38 |
diddledan | maybe they have had issues with pirates gaming the phoneline? | 21:38 |
diddledan | pirates are a pretty inventive lot, so it wouldn't surprise me if they'd found a way of automating activations | 21:39 |
daftykins | :) yeah, i figured they may've done something | 21:40 |
daftykins | it was a bit odd that i just had to press 1 to say i had it installed only on 1 computer | 21:40 |
daftykins | i know that's been true for years, but their records would show two vastly different hardware IDs | 21:40 |
diddledan | yeah, I've done that route many times | 21:40 |
diddledan | I've even switched between virtual install to physical and back many times | 21:41 |
daftykins | :D | 21:42 |
daftykins | with much time between each transition? | 21:42 |
diddledan | usually the old system had been offline for a while so they may have marked it as idle/dead by the time I installed anew. as to successive switches it's sometimes been as close as a week | 21:47 |
daftykins | diddledan: i just decided to benchmark a fair selection of my drives | 23:07 |
daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/s/p59zslb8e7wy9ms/drives.png | 23:07 |
andreas | Hi guys. I have installed ubuntu 14.04 at my Dell Inpiron. However I have huge problem with my wifi. It finds my wifi hotspot | 23:09 |
andreas | and connect to that. | 23:09 |
daftykins | ok | 23:09 |
daftykins | but? | 23:09 |
andreas | however, it gets disconnected after a couple of minutes | 23:09 |
andreas | and I have no Idea why... | 23:09 |
daftykins | were you by any chance asking this very question in #ubuntu just earlier this evening? | 23:10 |
andreas | It stays connected only for a few minutes and again disconnected... | 23:10 |
andreas | No :) | 23:10 |
andreas | I have just opened IRC | 23:10 |
daftykins | ok just checking, i thought i saw part of a very similar conversation | 23:10 |
daftykins | have you attempted to view logs to see what happens at the point of these disconnections? | 23:11 |
andreas | yes, but I am very new to this, and I have no idea what the problem might be... | 23:12 |
andreas | Do you want to paste that at pastebin? | 23:12 |
andreas | *do you want me to paste this to pastebin? | 23:13 |
daftykins | that would definitely be best yeah, probably the kernel log for issues of that kind i think - this is a bit of a grey area for my experience | 23:14 |
andreas | ok, thanks, I am doing that now :) | 23:15 |
daftykins | andreas: also, do you know what the chipset/card is? a pastebin of "lspci" would be handy, or perhaps just the line from your Dell invoice if it's a new machine | 23:20 |
diddledan | o_O I just watched a discovery channel docu which is copyright MCMXV | 23:33 |
diddledan | aka 1915 | 23:33 |
diddledan | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV33Q6Nw990 | 23:33 |
diddledan | it's in colour | 23:33 |
diddledan | and it features nuclear submarines | 23:34 |
diddledan | methinks someone got the date wrong? | 23:34 |
daftykins | lol | 23:34 |
daftykins | that would've made for a very different WW1 | 23:34 |
diddledan | lol | 23:35 |
diddledan | ooh, I just noticed boobtube uses ssl by default now? | 23:36 |
diddledan | or issit because I'm on a gapps domain user? | 23:36 |
daftykins | only one way to confirm, use a nude browser! | 23:37 |
diddledan | seems to not use ssl in an icognito window | 23:38 |
andreas | hi daftykins. Appologies for the delay, I had some problems. Here's the file https://www.dropbox.com/s/k70crfqdogcuapg/sdf.txt | 23:40 |
andreas | and I am uploading the results of the lspci now | 23:40 |
daftykins | andreas: no problem, is that an example of the issue right there prior to the frequency table? | 23:42 |
daftykins | wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=40:18:b1:74:5d:54 reason=3 locally_generated=1 | 23:42 |
andreas | daftykins: here is the result of the lspci as well http://tny.cz/40147171 | 23:42 |
daftykins | ok so we're looking at an intel 2230 | 23:42 |
diddledan | your dhcp server is set to renew leases every 30 seconds?! | 23:43 |
andreas | daftykins, I am sorry, I couldn't understand your question about the frequency table... | 23:43 |
daftykins | don't worry | 23:43 |
andreas | thanks :) | 23:44 |
diddledan | andreas: it might be that your connection is requiring ipv6 but your ipv6 dhcp server isn't responding | 23:46 |
daftykins | andreas: and so we're definitely on stock 14.04 64-bit? fully upgraded? | 23:46 |
daftykins | andreas: ah, you're stuck on your university's residential wireless service i see? are you in halls? :) | 23:47 |
andreas | daftykins: thanks a lot. Yes I use 14.04 fully upgraded | 23:48 |
diddledan | oh, did nobody tell the university that .local domain is reserved for avahi/mdns? | 23:48 |
andreas | Yes, I use my university's residential wireless service. That's true, I'm staying in halls | 23:49 |
diddledan | that might be why avahi is complaining about invalid this and that :-) | 23:49 |
daftykins | andreas: ok, that's useful as it means we know we can't reconfigure the other end | 23:49 |
diddledan | andreas: hope you do well on your course :-) | 23:49 |
daftykins | diddledan: is your IPv6 idea worth a run? | 23:50 |
andreas | diddledan: I have no idea about the avahi ... | 23:50 |
andreas | diddledan: Yes, thankfully :) | 23:50 |
diddledan | andreas: I think avahi is just moaning - I don't think that's the cause of your issue | 23:51 |
andreas | diddledan: Thanks. Do you have any clue on what might be the problem? | 23:52 |
andreas | diddledan: or what I could try to fix it? | 23:53 |
diddledan | I can't actually see it disconnecting alot in the log | 23:54 |
diddledan | there's loads of dhcp renews on an already established connection | 23:54 |
diddledan | this might be a problem but I don't know why: Jun 15 23:28:33 Oxford NetworkManager[908]: <info> (eth0): DHCPv4 state changed renew -> renew | 23:55 |
diddledan | it's going straight from renew state to another renew state instead of accepting the address info | 23:55 |
andreas | diddledan: At some point, I had decided to use a wire instead of wireless...So that line maybe the result of this change | 23:56 |
diddledan | aah yes, I missed that that line references eth0 not wlan0 | 23:57 |
andreas | :) | 23:57 |
diddledan | wood/trees | 23:57 |
daftykins | you know those issues i was having with 14.04's samba the other day? | 23:57 |
daftykins | i was missing an = sign in the path definition =| | 23:57 |
daftykins | i hadn't run testparm >_< | 23:57 |
diddledan | oops | 23:57 |
daftykins | my eyes didn't even see it | 23:57 |
