| jussi | good evening all :) | 10:54 |
| marshmn | hi, are three known issues with Skype on Ubuntu since yesterday? I'm on an old, unsupported, version of Ubuntu (13.04) which may not help - but just wondered if there is any known issue? | 11:22 |
| marshmn | this looks relevant: http://askubuntu.com/questions/505581/skype-cant-connect | 11:24 |
| popey | you may want to consider updating ☻ | 11:26 |
| marshmn | popey: yes, I'd like to update the OS - but there are some reasons I have to be on this version right now | 11:32 |
| marshmn | I've upgraded Skype and all is working again now | 11:32 |
| marshmn | I hate Skype. | 11:32 |
| marshmn | I need to try again to convince the office to use HipChat instead | 11:37 |
| OERIAS | I'm sorry to bug everyone, but is there a way to get unbanned from #ubuntu? | 11:56 |
| ikonia | OERIAS: join #ubuntu-ops | 11:56 |
| OERIAS | I was using a PC infect with some script and it was causing a mess and know I can't event suport. | 11:56 |
| ikonia | that's not what happened, but "ok" join #ubuntu-ops and talk to the operator team | 11:58 |
| arc__ | hello | 14:05 |
| arc__ | i am having trouble with my 9800pro card in ubuntu 14.04 | 14:06 |
| daftykins | today's trip by bike took me to the island's main reservoir | 17:01 |
| daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kvheyaiouw9igff/AACEP0YEbAfrkNIvE05eQeMja | 17:02 |
| daftykins | anyone ever encountered business-card like printers? my friends run an art gallery and could do with something to print the little cards beneath pictures | 17:36 |
| penguin42 | some of the label printers can do something that wide I think, not sure about actual business cards though | 17:38 |
| penguin42 | I've also printed bottle labels before from a roll of self adhesive labels on a sprocket roll | 17:39 |
| daftykins | hmm, i'm used to the little Dymo label printer jobs but of course they're on those yeah and not card | 17:39 |
| penguin42 | I'd be tempted to find a straight path printer that could print A4 card and then take a scalpel or guillotine to it | 17:43 |
| daftykins | i think they may well have been doing something similar so far | 17:45 |
| daftykins | but probably want to simplify | 17:45 |
| penguin42 | I wonder if you can get card that's perforated to make it easy | 17:46 |
| penguin42 | or maybe the photo printers? | 17:46 |
| daftykins | http://global.dymo.com/enGB/Categories/Business_Card_Readers.html | 17:47 |
| daftykins | i've just complained to Dymo for having an automated non-stoppable video on that page :P | 17:47 |
| penguin42 | yeh annoying | 17:47 |
| penguin42 | also, that's a reader not a printer | 17:47 |
| daftykins | yeah, just browsing :> | 17:47 |
| daftykins | i was curious how they could sell a device to read paper | 17:47 |
| penguin42 | because they're selling it to execs who have too many business cards and nothing else to spend their expenses on | 17:48 |
| daftykins | 'tis what my boss' secretary is for :D | 17:50 |
| daftykins | "add that guy to my contacts will you?" | 17:50 |
| penguin42 | presumably most discussions go 'wth do you want that for? Oh ok, if you scan my set as well' | 17:53 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:54 |
| daftykins | just reported an issue with the edX website :) | 18:53 |
| mapps | daftykins what about just using some service always see ads fr some compan doing cards | 19:18 |
| mapps | cant remember name tho of course now | 19:18 |
| daftykins | well they're an art gallery so creating them would be an ad-hoc activity | 19:19 |
| daftykins | /etc pronounced 'etsy' huh? i always thought of it as etcetera :> | 19:20 |
| mapps | aha | 19:20 |
| mapps | hahahahah yea ive heard it as etsy | 19:21 |
| mapps | id say eeee teee sea | 19:21 |
| mapps | lol | 19:21 |
| daftykins | that too :D | 19:21 |
| mapps | etsy sounds odd (to me) | 19:21 |
| mapps | like when i heard dub dub dub for www | 19:23 |
| mapps | lol | 19:23 |
| daftykins | *shudder* | 19:24 |
| mapps | yea its odd | 19:24 |
| daftykins | i avoid saying them :> | 19:24 |
| mapps | il still say eeeeee teaaaaaa seaaaa | 19:24 |
| mapps | lol | 19:24 |
| daftykins | not been relevant for correctly configured domains for ages | 19:24 |
| daftykins | it annoys me when i find a site that doesn't work without | 19:24 |
| daftykins | http://condorferries.co.uk/ ;) | 19:24 |
| marshmn | daftykins: if they are on a budget, perhaps they could print on over-sized labels that are then wrapped around a piece of card? | 19:26 |
| marshmn | I'm sure that there are machines that do what they want - but they might be somewhat expensive | 19:27 |
| daftykins | yeah i didn't have much luck finding, i'd have just said get a dymo label printer then stick the labels on card | 19:27 |
| daftykins | thanks :) | 19:27 |
| mapps | ya its pretty lame daftykins | 19:28 |
| * penguin42 would print on card and guillotine it | 19:28 | |
| marshmn | I suppose it all depends what they are willing to pay and what level of quality they want | 19:28 |
| marshmn | might even make sense to outsource it to a local printer | 19:28 |
| mapps | like uh its lame seeing somepage.php?abc=a&&axya=aaa | 19:29 |
| mapps | so web 1.0 | 19:29 |
| mapps | :D | 19:29 |
| mapps | http://better/to/see/nice/urls | 19:29 |
| mapps | :) | 19:29 |
| marshmn | did web 1.0 have PHP? :p | 19:30 |
| marshmn | maybe web 1.1 :p | 19:30 |
| mapps | teehee | 19:30 |
| mapps | so what is it now? | 19:30 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: http://www.simoney.co.uk/a4-perforated-sheets-acetate-name-badges.html | 19:32 |
| daftykins | mm-hmm, that could work with an inkjet | 19:32 |
| daftykins | penguin42: ty sir :) | 19:33 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: There seem to be other places selling heavier/lighter weight - that one looks to be about twice the weight of normal laser printer | 19:34 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: ah, much easier? http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/level5/module.jsp?moduleId=cpc/425036.xml | 19:37 |
| daftykins | good ol' CPC :> | 19:38 |
| daftykins | so if their inkjet would deal with the layout, that could work | 19:38 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Nod, I love how their discount catalogues have things like really specialised components on the same page as singing snowmen and office supplies | 19:38 |
| mapps | lol | 19:40 |
| penguin42 | I mean http://cpc.farnell.com/images/en_CC/RHPR_July14.pdf | 19:41 |
| daftykins | penguin42: :D must be to reduce depression in employees browsing them ;) | 19:42 |
| penguin42 | even the front page; where else would you find a combi drill, a Galaxy Tab, plug extension, car camera and bottle of screen wash on one page? | 19:42 |
| penguin42 | actually that's a good catalog because they're trying to get rid of all the football junk | 19:43 |
| mapps | lol | 19:44 |
| daftykins | 80p for a 2m HDMI! | 19:44 |
| penguin42 | USB microscope, DECT phone, HD+ cam corder, England Stetson hat, and HDMI adapter | 19:44 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Yeh if you want leads CPC is the place | 19:44 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Free delivery as well | 19:44 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: But the prices are ex-vat | 19:44 |
| daftykins | yeah i have an account, i have to phone order to get tax off :> | 19:45 |
| mapps | :D | 19:46 |
| daftykins | ugh party with terrible singing going on behind my place :P | 20:11 |
| penguin42 | go and offer better singing? | 20:13 |
| daftykins | i can't show them up ;) | 20:14 |
| daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7x8bauvqhcis3e/coursemounting.JPG | 20:16 |
| daftykins | this seems like a bit of a repeat no? mounting root (/) yet again | 20:16 |
| penguin42 | no | 20:16 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: initramfs mounts the / somewhere underneath the current / and then 'pivots' it so that the place it mounted becomes the real root | 20:17 |
| daftykins | oh i see | 20:17 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: see man 2 pivot_root | 20:17 |
| daftykins | ty sir | 20:17 |
| daftykins | what does 'man 2' do over 'man' ? | 20:18 |
| penguin42 | that reads the entry in section 2 (system calls) | 20:18 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Actually man 8 pivot_root includes an example | 20:19 |
| mapps | hmm | 20:19 |
| mapps | hopefully updating ios will fix my vpn issues | 20:19 |
| daftykins | Apple.. fix things!? | 20:20 |
| mapps | this married show is quite funny | 20:24 |
| maps|wrk | heylo | 22:58 |
| penguin42 | hey | 23:00 |
| maps|wrk | dissapointing | 23:33 |
| maps|wrk | ios update didnt fix vpn prob | 23:34 |
