[00:06] <daftykins> popey: lol you best update your records on me as "chap what has quite some hair"
[00:15] <diddledan> daftykins, hippieism is good for a geek :-p
[00:17] <daftykins> ooh i dunno!
[00:17] <daftykins> diddledan: sir check out the local rag - https://www.dropbox.com/s/f4j2iivt1j0urxc/IMG_20140812_224826.jpg
[01:03] <diddledan> can 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 server
[01:04] <diddledan> obviously "not barmy" is a bit of a misnomer because it's obvious that I am somewhat barmy
[01:07] <daftykins> ;D
[01:07] <daftykins> wish i could help sir but i don't think i can reproduce on windoze?
[01:07] <diddledan> hehe
[01:08] <diddledan> yeah I guess I should have highlighted the pre-requisite that you gotta be running ubuntu
[01:08] <diddledan> :-p
[01:09] <daftykins> i just figured we were the last two awake and i didn't want you to go unanswered ;_;
[01:09] <diddledan> aww, how kind of you ;-)
[01:09] <daftykins> ^_^
[01:10] <diddledan> I guess shauno might be around, but he's on os x usually
[01:10] <diddledan> mapps, ?
[01:10] <diddledan> other than that I guess all asleep
[01:11] <daftykins> tell you what, if you know any domains they're hitting i could try and check them?
[01:13] <diddledan> it goes to an oauth endpoint at https://one.ubuntu.com/oauth/sso-finished-so-get-tokens/my@email-address.com?some-random-query-variables
[01:13] <diddledan> I suppose I should point out that I genericated that a bit
[01:13] <daftykins> o rly
[01:13] <diddledan> speak of the devil
[01:13] <daftykins> apache 2.2.22 0o
[01:13] <diddledan> o_O
[01:13] <diddledan> wow
[01:14] <diddledan> aren't we supposed to be on 2.4 these days?
[01:16] <diddledan> aah 2.2.22 is from precise (12.04)
[01:16] <daftykins> D:
[01:16] <daftykins> diddledan: http://i.imgur.com/HgXazWT.jpg
[01:16] <diddledan> guess canonical aren't dogfooding :-p
[01:17] <diddledan> haha, was that a response to dogfooding?
[01:17] <shauno> "correct and correct"  (awake but don't use ubuntu on the desktop)
[01:18] <daftykins> diddledan: nah you said that after, here XD
[01:18] <daftykins> shauno: why ever not sir!?
[01:18] <daftykins> oh you don't
[01:18] <daftykins> don't mind me, i have too much Guinness in me
[01:18] <diddledan> hic
[01:18] <daftykins> ^
[01:18] <diddledan> no wait, that was you, not me
[01:19] <daftykins> it was an echo
[01:19] <diddledan> :-D
[02:13] <diddledan> I'm hungry
[03:58] <ur1caao> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8v-gM50QY0
[03:58] <ur1caao> wrong channel
[04:04] <diddledan> has anyone managed to get "desktop sharing" to work with a vnc client? I don't seem to get any redraws
[04:07] <diddledan> I 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?

[05:58] <DoloresUmbridge> morning
[06:18] <Guest60018> hu akk
[06:18] <Guest60018> ]all
[06:22] <mapps> hi all
[06:50] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:07] <foobarry> diddledan: x2go works for me for desktop sharing
[08:07] <foobarry> not exactly an answer to your qu. but its quite smooth
[08:32] <OERIAS> Is there a way for ubuntu to hide certain folders ?
[08:33] <nigelb> start the name with a .
[08:35] <DoloresUmbridge> that works for filenames too.
[08:55] <smittix> Morning
[08:59] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy International Lefthanders Day! :-D
[09:00] <foobarry> \o
[09:35] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[09:36] <DoloresUmbridge> hiya bigcalm
[09:46] <popey> yo
[09:55] <bigcalm> Happy new keyboard day :D
[09:59] <awilkins> Ooh, which keyboard?
[09:59] <bigcalm> http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F1DOUXY/
[09:59]  * awilkins has an _old_ keyboard
[10:00] <awilkins> Holy toledo that's an expensive Cherry-keyboard-with-USB-hub
[10:01] <awilkins> Have an old one of these at work
[10:01] <awilkins> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cherry-Quality-Action-Keyboard-G80-3000LSCGB-2/dp/B0041KJKAG
[10:01] <awilkins> Have a vintage Model M at home
[10:02] <bigcalm> I spend my life at the computer, decided  that it was worth the expense
[10:02] <awilkins> If it fails I'll try to get another or maybe shell out for a Unicomp
[10:02] <awilkins> Oh, quite
[10:02] <bigcalm> I have a Unicomp IBM Model M on my shelf now - it's what I was using prior to this one
[10:02] <awilkins> Decided a long time ago that screen, keyboard, mouse are the components that survive multiple computers and you may as well shell out for the best
[10:03] <awilkins> Would be interested to see how the Unicomp ones compare to the vintage ones
[10:03] <awilkins> Any reason why you switched to the Das?
[10:03] <awilkins> I love my model M
[10:03] <bigcalm> My fingers were getting tired
[10:03] <awilkins> I suppose the Cherry switches do have a lighter touch
[10:03] <awilkins> And a different click
[10:04] <bigcalm> Did some research on cherry mx switches and chose to go brown
[10:04] <awilkins> I think mine are blues
[10:04] <awilkins> I spilt smoothie in it the other day and had to pry off the caps
[10:04] <bigcalm> Yeah, my wife was getting fed up of the clicking
[10:04] <bigcalm> You can buy my Unicomp kb if you want ;)
[10:06] <bigcalm> Actually, I have 2. The company sent me a US layout 1st by mistake
[10:06] <bigcalm> THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG
[10:06] <bigcalm> Oops :)
[10:16] <popey> bigcalm: ooh! you have a unicomp?
[10:23] <awilkins> Oh dear
[10:23] <awilkins> The new nvidia drivers appear to have brought a fun bug with them
[10:23] <bigcalm> popey: 2 :P
[10:24] <joshua__> Hey guys.
[10:24] <awilkins> My mouse pointer is stuck in the left-right resize form
[10:25] <awilkins> And now it can't escape from the right-hand monitpr
[10:25] <awilkins> Or click on things
[10:25] <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] <awilkins> Ok, it was Spotify
[10:26] <awilkins> But an app shouldn't be able to trap your pointer like that <growls at the X server>
[10:26] <awilkins> joshua__, Doesn't this already happen?
[10:26] <bigcalm> Ooo, 5 red arrows just flew over
[10:26] <awilkins> joshua__, I know the desktop distribution runs dnsmasq and uses it to cache DNS hits out of the box
[10:27]  * awilkins fires up his server VM to check that too
[10:27] <joshua__> hmm, server doesn't seem to be doing that..
[10:28] <awilkins> Nope, isn't running dnsmasq
[10:29] <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 really
[11:45] <smittix_> Hi all, have a bit of a problem. Currently trying UbuntuGnome and when I install the nvidia drivers it doesn't go past the encryption password input box. If I purge nvidia* everything works as it should.
[11:59] <Laney> why's everyone discovering the tuesday printing bug today?
[12:16] <popey> Laney: front of hackernews
[12:16] <popey> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8171956
[12:18] <foobarry> i used OOo for years on ubuntu every day
[12:18] <foobarry> now LO of course
[12:18] <foobarry> oh, old bugs

[13:27] <Azelphur> Are 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 xD
[13:42] <davmor2> Wow that makes a change, works with Windows mac and Linux http://www.zead.co.uk/default.asp?Page=14&Categories=1
[13:43] <foobarry> x2go WFM
[13:43] <davmor2> oh and better still http://zead.co.uk/docs/Z-200_User_Guide.pdf  linux (Ubuntu)
[13:44] <Azelphur> foobarry: sadly, no android client
[13:45] <foobarry> oh
[13:45] <foobarry> freenx ?
[13:45] <foobarry> nomachine should work with it
[13:45] <Azelphur> foobarry: I dunno, it might work if I could force it to only serve one machine
[13:45] <diddledan> I don't get it 'cos Ubuntu installs "desktop sharing" but it doesn't work
[13:45] <Azelphur> serve one monitor*
[13:46] <Azelphur> I need like, x11vnc -clip but faster :)
[13:47] <davmor2> Azelphur: splashtop maybe
[13:47] <Azelphur> davmor2: broken packages, managed to get it to install but it crashes on connect
[13:47] <davmor2> Azelphur: meh yeah I forgot about that
[13:48] <Azelphur> davmor2: the problem with the nomachine client is that it has no sane screen scaling, and in a multi monitor setup it's unusable
[14:12] <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..
[15:39] <mapps> well
[15:39] <mapps> that was rubbish as expected
[15:39] <mapps> expendabls 2
[15:40] <diddledan> mapps, lol
[15:40] <diddledan> mapps, RED 2 was fun, however
[15:40] <mapps> i was considering watching the3rd so thought id better watch 2nd first
[15:40] <mapps> yea seen red2
[15:40] <daftykins> didn't even know there's a red sequel :O
[15:40] <mapps> i enjoyed purge 2 if you fancy a horror
[15:40] <mapps> first did suck tho
[15:42] <mapps> might go see the new apes film tonight.only because it sorange weds
[15:42] <mapps> might not also
[15:42] <mapps> :D
[15:42] <mapps> only film possibly worth seeing ..dont wanna ay to see inbetweeners 2 ugh
[16:31] <daftykins> mapps: how are you getting on with the edX course?
[17:16] <php_> hi everyone. why the hell my site sometimes can be seen only by some device and in other devices I've got an error that says "Account unavailable  Maybe account have been moved, deleted, suspended or not activated yet.  The requested resource could not be found but may be available again in the future."??
[17:17] <daftykins> php_: talk to your hosting provider
[17:17] <php_> oh! ok! thanks!

[17:18] <daftykins> nah been pretty occupied here and there
[17:18] <daftykins> on chapter 6 today, but it's all looking pretty easy so i've not written anything in ages now :>

[19:01] <rindolf> Hi all. Anyone around Cambridge, UK here? I'm here for a visit and we can meet for a drink or icecream.
[19:01] <mapps> waiting on 5 more things from amazon
[19:01] <mapps> working well that i put my sign #leave round gate' :D
[19:01] <mapps> dont get woken up
[19:01] <mapps> icecream? sweets are bad
[19:01] <mapps> :D
[19:04] <daftykins> seems legit
[19:04] <mapps> hewwo daftykins
[19:04] <daftykins> :>
[19:04] <mapps> :>
[19:51] <dwatkins> I'm lactose-intolerant, so ice cream is bad for me.
[19:51] <dwatkins> (I'm also not in Cambridge either, sorry)
[19:51] <daftykins> i'd hate to have that
[20:01] <mapps> o
[20:01] <mapps> have what
[20:01] <daftykins> lactose intolerance
[20:29] <rindolf> mapps: re icecream/sweets - see https://twitter.com/shlomif/status/491809376412266496
[21:05] <mapps> co
[23:36] <daftykins> just had yet another one of my classic "someone's signed up my email account as them" situations
[23:36] <daftykins> i've managed to track down the guy in Ohio, find his phone # and ask him what has been going on :>
[23:37] <daftykins> he told me he doesn't even HAVE an email address XD
[23:37] <ali1234> you rang him up?
[23:37] <daftykins> yep
[23:37] <diddledan> o_O
[23:37] <daftykins> politely, of course
[23:37] <ali1234> it's probably spammers
[23:37] <diddledan> how did you track him down?
[23:37] <ali1234> similar same?
[23:37] <ali1234> *name?
[23:38] <daftykins> i reset the password on the account for this website, which is legit... (farming related by the looks) then found a postal address then started googling
[23:38] <daftykins> actually i didn't even reset it, i got sent an email saying my new temporary password was...
[23:38] <daftykins> http://www.cargillag.com/
[23:38] <daftykins> 'tis from this :>
[23:39] <daftykins> so this company is a farmer produce selling contractor by the looks
[23:39] <ali1234> that's ... weird
[23:39] <daftykins> over skype he told me he'd just gone through renaming his farm or whatever
[23:39] <daftykins> and mentioned this company was helping with that process
[23:39] <daftykins> so i've just found his local rep and asked him by email to sort it out
[23:39] <daftykins> :D
[23:39] <ali1234> website doesn't work
[23:39] <daftykins> aaah, nothing like a good bit o' Sherlock'ing
[23:40] <daftykins> really? i'm on it :>
[23:40] <ali1234> this happened to me the other day, but the account was just a fake name and random username (like akjfdskjhgf or something)
[23:40] <daftykins> ah right
[23:40] <daftykins> basically my gmail is <first initial><surname>@
[23:40] <ali1234> so obviously someone trying to pump up their user count
[23:41] <daftykins> and i keep getting peeps like this guy with a different first name but same first initial
[23:41] <daftykins> last time was Deborah from Arizona
[23:41] <daftykins> she became a real pain in the ass, i was politely forwarding the emails to begin with once i found her work email
[23:41] <ali1234> yeah that happened to me one time and the guy posted in "that" part of craig's list
[23:41] <diddledan> daftykins, dkins@gmail? :-p
[23:41] <daftykins> contacted her employer and asked wtf
[23:42] <daftykins> she started buying office supplies and signing up my email, thinking i'd forward them to her work
[23:42] <daftykins> so what i did was login, cancel the order and move on :)
[23:42] <diddledan> lol
[23:42] <diddledan> haha
[23:42] <daftykins> one day i got an email saying "here's a copy of the email where you asked us to cancel the order..."
[23:42] <daftykins> 8D
[23:42] <daftykins> needless to say she has not done it since.
[23:43] <daftykins> so yeah, don't mess with the kins
[23:45] <daftykins> or i'll extremely subtly inconvenience you
[23:45] <diddledan> I had an american swear blind to me that subtle wasn't a real word
[23:46] <daftykins> i feel like a diddledan pun is coming...
[23:46] <diddledan> to be fair it was written down so he might have got confused with the spelign. I guess his version is suttel
[23:47] <daftykins> ah
[23:48] <diddledan> this was years ago on aol instant messagey thing though so he was probably a mormon
[23:52] <diddledan> http://www.hotforsecurity.com/blog/how-your-neighbours-cat-could-be-hacking-your-wifi-9888.html
[23:53] <daftykins> ;)
[23:54] <daftykins> seen the headline for that one already
[23:54] <diddledan> "Sure enough, Coco came home with a ton of data about nearby poorly-secured wireless networks – and a dead mouse."
[23:54] <daftykins> good lad!
[23:55] <daftykins> or lass
[23:55] <daftykins> i think my cat would cut me to ribbons if i tried to put something on her
