[00:07] that's interesting, I've managed to find out more, my unity-settings-daemon is a clipboard manager. :) [05:35] grmpf [05:35] cant find my tv remote [07:43] $timeofday [07:45] The time sponsored by accurist is 08:45 [07:46] not going upto ms is a shame though. [07:46] soz [07:46] 074613 < SuperMatt> The time sponsored by accurist is 08:45 [07:46] obviously I need to keep my timestamps in fST [07:47] freenode standard time [07:47] could do this: [07:47] 1407138475 [07:47] accurate enough for you? [07:48] anyone else watch the assets? [07:48] I'll watch your assets [07:48] ;] [07:48] maybe that was a little too forward [07:49] its a good show [07:49] meh. My brain is AWOL a bit [07:49] just watched e1 and 2 again as i was so far behind i forgot them [07:49] :) [07:49] I'm staring at my Amazon shopping basket and I'm convinced this shouldn't cost this much in total [07:50] heh [07:50] buying anything excitig?:D [07:52] 5A fuses, organic lawn feed, Moleskine Star Wars weekly 18 month diary, Adafruit LED sequins, Adafruit Flora RGB NeoPixels, Lilypad Vibe board, Hosecoil soap and feed dispensing water pistol, and a Hozelock 3/4 male adapter. Missing from the basket: conductive thread. [07:54] oh, and of course the Flora board. [07:55] http://makezine.com/craft/how-to-sunscreen-reminder-hat/ [07:55] I think I'll replace the piezo with a RGB LED and a vibe board [08:07] hey everyone [08:08] quick question , anyone using PLEX ? === msm is now known as Guest6422 [08:12] quite a few people, why? [08:12] been having some trouble with adding doctor who episodes to plex [08:12] wait what [08:12] not quite sure on how to name them in order for plex to recognise them [08:13] morning popey Myrtti [08:13] https://oldwiki.plexapp.com/index.php?title=Media_Naming_and_Organization_Guide [08:13] is Becky Stern == Limor Fried? [08:13] popey: no [08:13] or are they two people who look near identical [08:13] who happen to work at the same company [08:14] knightwise: Series name - S0XE0Y - episode name.foo usually works [08:14] Myrtti: yeah , but how does that work across 50 years of doctor who [08:14] tvdb [08:14] Season 4 with Tennant is actually season 50 or something ? (compared to the first doctor) [08:17] knightwise: Doctor Who (2005) - S04E01 - Partners in Crime.avi [08:18] ok , so what is the naming convetion for, lets say, "an unearthly child' ? [08:21] knightwise: Doctor Who - S01E01 - An Unearthly Child.avi [08:21] mebbe [08:22] Myrtti: how would that work if I would add all the other 10 doctors inbetween [08:23] you cant squeeze in those in to 3 seasons (hartnell = Season 1 - Capaldi season .. 5 ?) [08:23] knightwise: Doctor Who - S02E01 - Planet of Giants.avi [08:24] J:\TVShows\Doctor Who (2005)\Season01\Doctor Who (2005).S01E02.The End of the World.avi [08:24] and [08:24] J:\TVShows\Doctor Who (1963)\Season01\Doctor Who (1963).S01E01.An Unearthly Child.avi [08:24] (according to some guy on the plex forum)- [08:24] yeah, sounds about right [08:24] doesn't it work, then? [08:24] ok , gonna give that a try [08:25] today is the giant bathtub rental delivery day! [08:25] wheeeee [08:25] I wish I was this easily pleased https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zb_MGIsxeg [08:27] hahahahahahaha [08:27] oh man that's hilarious [08:27] he is apparently a looner [08:27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_fetish [08:27] The only thing i'm wondering about : what do you do with the multipart episoed ? [08:28] he has like 80 of them on his channel [08:28] genesis of the daleks part 1 , part 2 etc [08:30] presumably they are just separate episodes [08:30] which happen to have very similar titles [08:30] (as far as plex is concerned) [08:35] ah ok , [08:35] arrrrright ... [08:35] i have my work cut out for me renaming a couple of seasons [08:58] rename ♥ [08:58] knightwise: midnight commander is what SO uses, I use plain rename. If you want GUI, then thunar comes with a mass renamer [09:08] Thanx :) i'll check it out :) [09:19] morning boys and girls. [09:27] Good morning peeps :) [09:27] morning bigcalm [09:29] Morning bigcalm [10:24] czajkowski: thank you for the lift. I'm sorry if I made a fool of myself (I can never remember after drinking if I have or not) === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [10:44] Updated my workstation this morning and it's frozen 3 times so far. Each time tried a reboot that resulted in the machine being frozen at the password prompt. Actual power off required. [10:44] I haven't frozen for a while this time, and I'm wondering if it's because I haven't loaded skype [11:32] kittensarecute [11:35] Anybody here use a Freesat box with Freetime? [12:37] yawnage [12:37] morning folks [13:10] loools, someone added a cloud block storage volume to their server and put development stuff on to it [13:11] they figured mounting that on /dev would be a good idea [13:12] o.O [13:13] yeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh [13:13] turns out things fail very quickly when you do that [13:16] SuperMatt: LOL [13:16] SuperMatt: that's the best laugh I've had in a while! [13:20] what could possibly go wrong? [13:22] our fun for the day is that there's a new system in place that blocks you if you try to login with XP [13:22] it doesn't appear to be working as intended, and a seemingly random cross-section of people are having their accounts locked regardless of OS [13:23] ... and the lot we oursourced IT to can't unlock an account without your manager's auth. and guess how many managers work on a bank holiday? [13:23] shauno: that sounds awesome [13:23] it would be, but they didn't lock mine :( [13:24] I want a bang holiday [13:24] :-( [13:24] *pouty pout* [13:24] A bang holiday? [13:32] bigcalm: it's either something for adults or involves rockets [13:37] got the kids a couple of very cheap remote control cars to play with [13:37] keeping them busy [13:37] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Additions%C2%AE-Micro-Remote-Control/dp/B002VJ800U vroom [13:41] how do I find out if my intel graphics drivers are properly configured [13:42] do you see a desktop when you login? [13:42] yep [13:42] Going to see GotG tonight, woop! [13:43] popey: ah, that's what was in the tub. Is Sam happy? [13:43] but in a 3d program the framerate is terrible [13:43] Czechton: intel GPUs aren't known for their performance. [13:43] bigcalm: very, sophie's arrived today too [13:43] but on a preconfigured ubuntu install i get good performance on the same hardware [13:44] Czechton: what gpu/cpu and what game? [13:45] CS1.6 on Haswell integrated gpu [13:46] cpu is an intel celeron 2955U [13:47] on the preconfigured install the framerate is >60fps on my minimal install the framrate is ~12fps [13:47] thats quite a difference [13:48] does /var/log/Xorg.0.log reveal which driver you're using? [13:49] what should i be looking for in there? [13:50] "DRI driver: i965" [13:50] "VDPAU driver: i965" [13:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7952081/ [13:53] for the whole log [14:14] heh, I just opened the curtains - look at me being awake during the day! [14:15] *gasps* [14:19] you know what? [14:19] www.youtube.com/watch?v=StTqXEQ2l-Y [14:20] wassup mofos [14:20] hey diddleda mofo [14:25] diddledan [14:25] hey diddledan motherfucker [14:25] !language [14:25] The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [14:25] !language [14:26] also [14:26] !family [14:26] MartijnVdS: that wasn't the one I wanted [14:26] :-p [14:26] diddledan: !ohmy? [14:26] !ohmy [14:26] The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [14:26] they changed it! [14:26] grr [14:26] don't you hate when people do things [14:27] I wish the whole world would just not do anything [14:27] :-p [14:27] yes! that would reduce support calls by a *lot* [14:29] sorry [14:31] i said sorry [14:31] anyone have experience with configuring intel graphoics drivers on 14.04? [14:32] yeah... what d u need? [14:32] it.. just works? [14:32] You install Ubuntu... then graphics work out of the box [14:32] in 3d applications i get very bad performance on my minimal-ubuntu install [14:33] on a "bodhi-linux" which is a preconfigured ubuntu for this laptop i get good performance [14:33] And a "normal" Desktop ubuntu? [14:33] not tried that [14:34] but judging by comments online it just works [14:34] then you're probably missing a package. Maybe X is running in VESA mode? [14:35] ok so how do i check that [14:35] Czechton: in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7952081/ [14:36] thats the log [14:36] [ 67.441] (II) LoadModule: "intel" [14:36] it loads the intel module, that's good [14:36] I don't know what the problem could be. [14:37] hmm [14:37] maybe #ubuntu knows -- there's usually more people around there to help [14:38] ok I'll ask in there [14:38] good luck :) [14:38] thanks for having a look [14:39] Czechton: for reference, can you put the output of "glxinfo" (only works from X) somewhere too? [14:42] MartijnVdS: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7952426/ [14:44] the only difference between your setup and mine seems to be kernel mode setting (kms) [14:44] also, I have a gt2 (haswell i7) where you have a gt1 (haswell.. non-i7?) [14:45] its a celeron 2955U [14:45] in the X.org log it mentions vesa modules being loaded [14:45] yeah that would have the "lesser" graphics chip. But that wouldn't explain why it works in one and not the other [14:45] might it be prefering vesa mode over the intel driver? [14:45] yeah mine mentions that too. [14:45] It's using intel [14:48] haha #ubuntu is fairly useless, everyone just told me to install lubuntu [14:48] :D [14:49] not really what i was going for, though it would probably work! [14:50] Dunno [16:17] Czechton: did you get anywhere? [16:26] sadly not [16:26] daftykins: sadly not [16:26] Czechton: what was the reason for doing a minimal install? [16:26] think I'll make a post on r/chrubuntu [16:27] i could have just installed lubuntu but i wanted to mess around with just openbox and very little else [16:27] and figure out how all the bits of UI fit together [16:28] wait a minute... chrubuntu, so this is a chromebook? [16:28] yep [16:28] ah, in that case this is more likely the chroot'd install of ubuntu running atop the chromeOS install, yes? [16:28] no [16:29] its a full install [16:29] so you enabled dev mode, put on a BIOS that allows direct USB boot... then installed natively to the disk? [16:29] I have a partition for bodhi linux and a partition for ubuntu-minimal [16:29] yeh [16:29] was this using the standard 'mini.iso' then? [16:29] yep [16:30] mmk, so do you have the storage space to just apt-get the entire ubuntu-desktop package? [16:31] yep should do [16:31] about 6gb left on this partition [16:32] wouldn't hurt to try then :) [16:32] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [16:32] might even be worth sharing with us the packages it says it's going to install [16:35] well this is the package list it just spat at me [16:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7953251/ [16:36] ouch yeah picking through that'd be fun [16:39] only thing that jumps out is possibly libgles2-mesa? [16:41] n [16:43] wouldn't hurt to go a package at a time and experiment, if you fancy it [16:49] I'd be wary of doing that piecemeal approach unless I was going to blat the install once I'd got it going and start again - reason: apt remembers depended-installations vs requested installations so on upgrades it won't remove stuff you've requested to be installed even when it's no-longer required [16:50] ic [16:54] hmm [16:54] that would be annoying [16:55] might have to be something I leave until i get back to my desktop in a couple of weeks [16:56] this is my only computer atm and i don't really feel like doing full reinstalls and reconfiguring everything === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD [17:27] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [17:27] the ^ is important apparently [17:28] ali1234: any idea what the caret means? [17:28] it means task rather than metapackage i think [17:29] apparently the caret isn't required any more [17:30] https://wiki.debian.org/tasksel [17:30] tasks are like metapackages, but different [17:31] aah, I've heard of tasksel [17:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7953700/ [17:31] if you're interested in the difference :p [17:32] yeah the task will likely install more things [17:32] ubuntu-desktop^ should effectively give you what the full installer would do, more or less [18:14] oops [18:15] went to town to pay money in ended up having 7 pints [18:15] hadnt had a drink for 6 days [18:15] dunno if thats good or bad [18:15] 7 is a lot [18:15] not to me [18:15] but i became a pro at drinking;p [18:15] Believe me, it is. [18:16] only left becayse i got offered a lift [18:16] was already thinking about going out later [18:26] how do I figure out whether a "video" I've acquired is in some codec I don't have vs purposely broken so that I can't play it back no matter how hard I try? [18:28] diddledan: "file" ? [18:28] diddledan: ffmpeg -i moviefile [18:28] (no output -- it just outputs codec details) [18:30] what package is that from? [18:30] libav probably [18:31] diddledan: ffmpeg: /usr/bin/ffmpeg [18:31] ffmpeg has been replaced by avconv in debian based distros [18:31] ali1234: except they still provide ffmpeg [18:31] o_O [18:31] not by default [18:31] MartijnVdS: there is no ffmpeg package [18:31] libav-tools then maybe [18:31] which has avconv [18:31] which is ffmpeg in disguise [18:31] avconv doesn't even have the ffmpeg compatibility wrapper any more [18:31] (I hate forkers..) [18:32] I must have the ffmpeg package left over from ye olden days [18:33] so avconv -i doesn't work [18:35] ali1234, diddledan, MartijnVdS: just use handbrake ;) [18:35] davmor2: handbrake doesn't know what it is - hence why I want to find out if it's just a missing codec or not [18:36] diddledan: transcode it in vlc [18:36] yeah, vlc. tried that [18:36] I'd first try "file", then ffmpeg/avconv, then exiftool (part of libimage-exiftool-perl) [18:37] file.avi: data [18:37] that's useful [18:37] sounds corrupt [18:37] diddledan: anything readable in the first 100 or so bytes (try less) [18:37] diddledan: might just be an encrypted avi file [18:38] yeah file should at least be able to identify an avi container [18:38] even if it was drm'd or something [18:38] exactly [18:39] did you download it on a torrent? maybe the beginning of the file is missing... that would do it [18:40] so is this just a subtle way of trying to get me to install "virused"-codec? [18:40] it's off usenet [18:40] which is where torrents are born [18:40] maybe you didn't reconstruct it properly? [18:40] it's all automatic [18:40] was it in a multipart rar? those don't work correctly on linux [18:41] it's all automatic [18:41] I have no idea what the original download was [18:41] One of the RAM modules in my laptop has gone *phut* [18:41] well on usenet it must have been split over several posts somehow... [18:41] awilkins: so sad [18:41] all I know is I have several files which are broke in plex [18:41] Still have 2GB of RAM. Ubuntu works [18:41] and there's many different ways of doing that [18:42] Windows just sits there sulking on the login screen but doesn't show a prompt [18:43] Windows has a real problem with changes in hardware.... Ubuntu, I can move my main work drive between two different machines at will. [18:43] But now I can't play Hearthstone. [18:43] you can do that in windows you just have to run a command before doing it [18:43] ali1234: it'll be downloaded in whatever format couch-potato and sabnzbd use [18:43] Windows "OH NO YOU PLUGGED THE KEYBOARD INTO A DIFFERENT USB PORT LET ME INSTALL NEW DRIVERS" [18:43] Ubuntu "Hey, hardware. I know that!" [18:44] I know.... like "YOU PLUGGED IN A USB MEMORY STICK I DIDN'T SEE BEFORE... MUST... INSTALL... DRIVERS!" [18:44] My dad has accepted the Windows way as "normal", so every time I'm impatient he just waves it away, "it always does that". NOT ON MY MACHINE [18:44] MartijnVdS: totally unrealistic gui! [18:45] http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721940%28v=ws.10%29.aspx [18:46] The downside to that is that if I put the faulty RAM module back in it might break stuff [18:46] Possible that it's ruined the NTFS partition I suppose. [18:46] removing a ram chip shouldn't break windows [18:46] awilkins: what ali1234 said [18:46] Yeah, might have been the faults in the RAM chip I removed [18:46] awilkins: ram changes are fine normally [18:47] It boots.. [18:47] you the system check tools in windows [18:47] *use [18:47] I can't even log in [18:47] safe moed? [18:47] Tried holding ctrl when booting [18:48] What does Win 7 need? [18:48] F5/F7? [18:48] f8 [18:48] HAH, you illustrate my problem ;-) [18:48] it's f8 [18:48] * awilkins will now reboot and hammer keys at random [18:48] mash it while you reboot [18:48] F5/F7 was windows 98 i think [18:48] nope win98 used f8, too [18:48] or maybe it was F5/F8 [18:49] it was [18:49] i'm sure F5 did something [18:49] F5 and F8 are actually DOS 6 and up combos [18:49] to skip config.sys/autoexec.bat or to step through [18:49] why do I remember this [18:50] hahaha yeah when it would ask you if you wanted to run each line... [18:50] and people say linux is too hard to use [18:50] "Load EMM386.EXE /NOEMS?" [18:50] HIMEM.SYS? [18:50] load? [18:50] LH [18:50] you think we're made of memory? [18:50] maybe [18:50] loadhigh! [18:51] didn't emm386 do that itself because it was magic? [18:51] you can't loadhigh until you've load himem and emm386 [18:51] didn't you have to load emm386 first in order to use lh? [18:51] let memmaker sort'em out [18:52] (yes, you can use the Hercules graphics segments for RAM, really. This is a VGA machine) [18:53] I actually re-did all this a few weeks ago. On a PS/2 Model 70 portable. [18:53] one of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di9OQLiwbIU [18:54] Nope, I don't have the magic recovery disk. [18:54] Looks like Ubuntu for me. [18:54] awilkins: the horror! [18:54] (and no Hearthstone.) [18:55] I wanted to play Hearthstone but I guess I'll have to do something useful or edifying *tch* [18:55] edifying?! [18:55] you heretic! [18:57] do you have a licence for that? [18:57] GPL will do [18:58] * diddledan paints a GPL sign onto hearthstone [18:58] now they must provide us with the sauce [18:58] tomato, I hope [19:03] * awilkins_ has fiddled with Wine === awilkins_ is now known as awilkins [19:03] Battle.net launcher now works on Ubuntu.... [19:06] * awilkins copies his Hearthstone folder to ~/.wine [19:08] email at work [19:08] about 40 people going to gib for a bit for a satellite office [19:08] tempted to apply [19:08] anyone been to gib? [19:09] Oh dear, Hearthstone seems to work in Wine [19:10] * awilkins gets back to wasting his time [19:35] the other day on reddit i saw a google docs spreadsheet with the number of win/mac/linux steam games over time [19:35] does anyone have the link handy? [19:37] nvm i found it [19:38] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ai0E-WvppW8GdG9leHFsR2pWWVVxbzgwYUtWakVnd0E&usp=sharing#gid=0 [20:17] ali1234: that's intriguing the way it's paralleling but maintaining separation with mac [20:17] the way linux is** [20:18] it takes a long time to write games [20:18] linux is catching up with mac [20:18] i expect it will overtake in about 12 months [20:19] porting a game is a lot easier if you do it during development [20:20] the gap has always been about 300 games, so i'd guess it's mostly old games that aren't being ported rather than new ones [20:38] its also more financially sound to do it during development [20:38] especially if it forces you to use cross platform tools [20:41] yeah, easier usually implies cheaper too :) [20:42] popey: you backed elite: dangerous right? [20:42] did you play it yet? [20:42] I did not. [20:42] (back it) [20:42] oh i thought you did [20:43] was tempted but they were unclear on when/if linux version would be made, so I erred on the side of caution [20:43] yeah, same, plus i don't really like kickstarters [20:43] but my brother backed it, so i played it the other day [20:44] any good? [20:44] i was never really an Elite fan [20:45] it's just like the original... at least what they have so far [20:45] the virtual cockpit is really nicely done [20:45] especially on the oculus rift [20:45] ooh [20:45] bet thats amazing [20:45] never tried an OR yet [20:45] i hear the new DK2 sdk doesn't have linux support yet [20:45] it has a virtual HUD with different screens that pop up when you look around... it's really nicely done [20:46] very immersive... there's no fullscreen menus [20:46] like iron man? [20:46]
