diddledancan someone confirm that I'm not barmy? trying to login to ubuntu software centre via various methods such as "turn on recommendations" or "reinstall past purchases" I get an error from the single sign-on dialog that it gets a 404 from the ubuntu one server01:03
diddledanobviously "not barmy" is a bit of a misnomer because it's obvious that I am somewhat barmy01:04

diddledanhas anyone managed to get "desktop sharing" to work with a vnc client? I don't seem to get any redraws04:04
diddledanI figure it hasn't worked since composited X11 came along, which means years. why hasn't anyone actually fixed it yet or has nobody noticed that since 2012 it's been broken?04:07

awilkinsOoh, which keyboard?09:59
bigcalmhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F1DOUXY/09:59
* awilkins has an _old_ keyboard09:59
awilkinsHoly toledo that's an expensive Cherry-keyboard-with-USB-hub10:00
awilkinsHave an old one of these at work10:01
awilkinshttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Cherry-Quality-Action-Keyboard-G80-3000LSCGB-2/dp/B0041KJKAG10:01
awilkinsHave a vintage Model M at home10:01
bigcalmI spend my life at the computer, decided  that it was worth the expense10:02
awilkinsIf it fails I'll try to get another or maybe shell out for a Unicomp10:02
awilkinsOh, quite10:02
bigcalmI have a Unicomp IBM Model M on my shelf now - it's what I was using prior to this one10:02
awilkinsDecided a long time ago that screen, keyboard, mouse are the components that survive multiple computers and you may as well shell out for the best10:02
awilkinsWould be interested to see how the Unicomp ones compare to the vintage ones10:03
awilkinsAny reason why you switched to the Das?10:03
awilkinsI love my model M10:03
bigcalmMy fingers were getting tired10:03
awilkinsI suppose the Cherry switches do have a lighter touch10:03
awilkinsAnd a different click10:03
bigcalmDid some research on cherry mx switches and chose to go brown10:04
awilkinsI think mine are blues10:04
awilkinsI spilt smoothie in it the other day and had to pry off the caps10:04
bigcalmYeah, my wife was getting fed up of the clicking10:04
bigcalmYou can buy my Unicomp kb if you want ;)10:04
bigcalmActually, I have 2. The company sent me a US layout 1st by mistake10:06

bigcalmpopey: 2 :P10:23
joshua__Hey guys.10:24
awilkinsMy mouse pointer is stuck in the left-right resize form10:24
awilkinsAnd now it can't escape from the right-hand monitpr10:25
awilkinsOr click on things10:25
joshua__I want to cache DNS locally on some ubuntu servers, first hit should query the internal BIND dns server and then something like dnsmasq should cache the response for a set amount of time. Sounds sane?10:25
awilkinsOk, it was Spotify10:25
awilkinsBut an app shouldn't be able to trap your pointer like that <growls at the X server>10:26
awilkinsjoshua__, Doesn't this already happen?10:26
bigcalmOoo, 5 red arrows just flew over10:26
awilkinsjoshua__, I know the desktop distribution runs dnsmasq and uses it to cache DNS hits out of the box10:26
* awilkins fires up his server VM to check that too10:27
joshua__hmm, server doesn't seem to be doing that..10:27
awilkinsNope, isn't running dnsmasq10:28
joshua__So I setup dnsmasq to listen on 127.0.0.1 and in the config file put my upstream DNS servers to query?10:29
joshua__sorry, being lazy here really10:29

AzelphurAre there any remote desktop systems that don't suck? I tried splashtop but the package in the repositories is broken, nomachine works "great": https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3832397/screenshots/2014/Aug/Screenshot_2014-08-13-03-59-28.png, VNC is slow, x11rdp is a bitch to install and crashes on connection for me anyway xD13:27

Azelphurserve one monitor*13:45
AzelphurI need like, x11vnc -clip but faster :)13:46
davmor2Azelphur: splashtop maybe13:47
Azelphurdavmor2: broken packages, managed to get it to install but it crashes on connect13:47
davmor2Azelphur: meh yeah I forgot about that13:47
Azelphurdavmor2: the problem with the nomachine client is that it has no sane screen scaling, and in a multi monitor setup it's unusable13:48
joshua__Hey guys, am using dnsmasq on my servers to cache DNS, and have set upstream to be my bind DNS servers, which do not have dnsmasq. It looks like servers intermittently resolve OK, using dig for example, but more often then not, it looks like it only queries localhost and doesn't get the answer..14:12
