[10:54] <jussi> good evening all :)
[11:22] <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?
[11:24] <marshmn> this looks relevant: http://askubuntu.com/questions/505581/skype-cant-connect
[11:26] <popey> you may want to consider updating ☻
[11:32] <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.
[11:37] <marshmn> I need to try again to convince the office to use HipChat instead
[11:56] <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.
[11:58] <ikonia> that's not what happened, but "ok" join #ubuntu-ops and talk to the operator team
[14:05] <arc__> hello
[14:06] <arc__> i am having trouble with my 9800pro card in ubuntu 14.04
[17:01] <daftykins> today's trip by bike took me to the island's main reservoir
[17:02] <daftykins> https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kvheyaiouw9igff/AACEP0YEbAfrkNIvE05eQeMja
[17:36] <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
[17:38] <penguin42> some of the label printers can do something that wide I think, not sure about actual business cards though
[17:39] <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
[17:43] <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
[17:45] <daftykins> i think they may well have been doing something similar so far
[17:45] <daftykins> but probably want to simplify
[17:46] <penguin42> I wonder if you can get card that's perforated to make it easy
[17:46] <penguin42> or maybe the photo printers?
[17:47] <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
[17:48] <penguin42> because they're selling it to execs who have too many business cards and nothing else to spend their expenses on
[17:50] <daftykins> 'tis what my boss' secretary is for :D
[17:50] <daftykins> "add that guy to my contacts will you?"
[17:53] <penguin42> presumably most discussions go 'wth do you want that for? Oh ok, if you scan my set as well'
[17:54] <daftykins> :D
[18:53] <daftykins> just reported an issue with the edX website :)
[19:18] <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
[19:19] <daftykins> well they're an art gallery so creating them would be an ad-hoc activity
[19:20] <daftykins>  /etc pronounced 'etsy' huh? i always thought of it as etcetera :>
[19:20] <mapps> aha
[19:21] <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)
[19:23] <mapps> like when i heard dub dub dub for www
[19:23] <mapps> lol
[19:24] <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/ ;)
[19:26] <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?
[19:27] <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 :)
[19:28] <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
[19:29] <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> :)
[19:30] <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?
[19:32] <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
[19:33] <daftykins> penguin42: ty sir :)
[19:34] <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
[19:37] <penguin42> daftykins: ah, much easier? http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/level5/module.jsp?moduleId=cpc/425036.xml
[19:38] <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
[19:40] <mapps> lol
[19:41] <penguin42> I mean http://cpc.farnell.com/images/en_CC/RHPR_July14.pdf
[19:42] <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?
[19:43] <penguin42> actually that's a good catalog because they're trying to get rid of all the football junk
[19:44] <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
[19:45] <daftykins> yeah i have an account, i have to phone order to get tax off :>
[19:46] <mapps> :D
[20:11] <daftykins> ugh party with terrible singing going on behind my place :P
[20:13] <penguin42> go and offer better singing?
[20:14] <daftykins> i can't show them up ;)
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <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
[20:18] <daftykins> what does 'man 2' do over 'man' ?
[20:18] <penguin42> that reads the entry in section 2 (system calls)
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <daftykins> Apple.. fix things!?
[20:24] <mapps> this married show is quite funny
