| popey | try in #ubuntu | 02:25 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Morning all. WTF has happened to 14.04? Since an update this morning the system has gone really sloooow. Compiz chewing up > 170% cpu, load avg > 4... Oh, and the sound applet in the top bar has disappeared too. | 07:26 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Happy days :-( | 07:26 |
| SuperMatt | I don't know. I moved to gnome-shell so I don't have compiz running | 07:28 |
| diplo | TheOpenSourcerer, mine as well | 07:28 |
| diplo | Xorg using a fair bit of CPU as well | 07:28 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | FFS | 07:29 |
| SuperMatt | gnome smell seems to offer me a more consistant experience across all my devices | 07:29 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Can we still drop back to a lighter Unity desktop? | 07:29 |
| SuperMatt | gnome-session-fallback might be useful | 07:29 |
| DJones | TheOpenSourcerer: I saw a comment by bigcalm that he'd had to reboot his desktop for some reason, don't know if that was the same, but I decided to hold off on updates last night | 07:31 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | time to logout and try fallback | 07:36 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Not quite as pretty but it's working. Thanks | 07:38 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | It's got that menu thing at the top too! Remeber that? | 07:39 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Now there's something called deja-dup-monito consuming 120% cpu? | 07:42 |
| directhex | presumably it's md5summing all the things | 07:42 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | FFS - Seems like Ubuntu got something badly wrong in the last update. Great load avg no 7... :-( | 07:43 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Time to go and get a coffee and see if it calms down | 07:44 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Oh goody - all calm now | 07:46 |
| Myrtti | sometimes I do feel quite fortunate in the fact that Dell and Canonical have disabled upgrading to 14.04 for me | 07:47 |

| foobarry | was annoying because one chan doesn't let you change from nick2 to your current nick if it isn't registered | 08:30 |

| knightwise | oooh .. those exist ? | 08:34 |
| foobarry | yes. the "super" key on all my keybaords has the ubuntu key now | 08:35 |

| DJones | knightwise: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2014-August/037838.html Might be of interest as well | 08:43 |
| knightwise | Thanx :) DJones ... looks like i'll have to send a stamped envelope i presume ? | 08:46 |
| DJones | knightwise: I would assume so, maybe drop them an email first | 08:46 |
| DJones | Not sure which stickers they have, so might be worth asking for a scan/image of them before ordering | 08:47 |

| davmor2 | foobarry: try pirut I think I'm pretty sure I saw something about it anyway | 10:11 |

| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 11:16 |
| * penguin42 yawns at bigcalm | 11:19 | |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: morning how did it go last night? | 11:29 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: went well. Me, Ron, Alex, Chris, Ad, Simon & Sam. And we talked about Linux things all damn evening | 11:30 |
| bigcalm | I think that's pretty rare | 11:30 |
| davmor2 | adam was there and you talked about Linux that must be a record | 11:31 |
| knightwise | hmm.. i'm gonna try to see if i can install OSX in a virtualbox VM .. on a Mac Mini running Ubuntu. | 11:31 |
| directhex | knightwise: not easily. virtualbox has no usable efi implementation, which makes installing osx tricks | 11:35 |
| awilkins | Also, does OSX have any drivers for the virtual devices? | 11:38 |
| awilkins | I thought part of the charm of OSX was that it only works on Mac hardware by design | 11:38 |
| awilkins | Which means it has a limited pool of device drivers | 11:38 |
| directhex | vmware fusion, and parallels, can both virtualise osx on osx | 11:39 |
| awilkins | Presumably by just using the thinnest of shims on the real hardware | 11:40 |
| knightwise | ah but that is the kick .. it IS running on mac hardware , | 11:40 |
| knightwise | but the host os is linux instead of osx | 11:40 |
| === lubotu3` is now known as lubotu3 | ||
| awilkins | Don't know enough about BSD vs Linux driver interfaces | 11:41 |
| awilkins | But I'm guessing they might be different | 11:41 |
| awilkins | And no idea if VBox makes any attempt to replicate the hardware you're sat on - AFAIK it has a selection of emulated hardware that looks like common devices | 11:42 |

| foobarry | +1 | 12:05 |
| shauno | I think virtualbox should run OSX now? at least in Oracle's version, I can't say for OSE | 12:06 |
| shauno | (but when it gives you the choice between osx-32bit and -64bit, never select 32bit. It goes horribly wrong. imho that option shouldn't exist) | 12:06 |
| shauno | (10.6 is the last version that'll run on a 32bit processor. 10.7 is the first version that'll run in a VM without an osx-server licence. the combination of these two isn't pretty) | 12:08 |

| SuperMatt | shauno: does that mean I'll be able to run OSX in virtualbox? | 12:12 |

| bigcalm | Myrtti: WP not fitting the bill? It's what I used for my wedding site | 12:42 |
| Myrtti | bigcalm: might, I haven't looked into how the multi language support goes nowadays though | 12:42 |
| bigcalm | Myrtti: apparently WP is really quite mature now. ML support is good | 12:43 |
| Myrtti | if dsample weren't adamant on his demand on having the site in Finnish, I'd just slap the whole thing on Google Sites and call it a day | 12:43 |
| bigcalm | Heh | 12:43 |
| bigcalm | Aww, you not doing Sweedish as well? | 12:43 |
| Myrtti | what I specifically don't have time and patience for is to wait for him to code a thing with Ruby from scratch | 12:43 |
| bigcalm | Ugh | 12:43 |
| Myrtti | because ain't nobody got time for that | 12:44 |
| bigcalm | Use WP ;) | 12:44 |
| Myrtti | the website issue is basically the reason why the wedding planning had a two year hiatus as is | 12:44 |
| bigcalm | I started writing my own photo booth application in python. It got abandoned and I ended up using an app on an android tablet | 12:44 |
| Myrtti | I got frustrated in trying to get things first the way I wanted it, then gave up when I realised it would never be good enough for him | 12:44 |
| bigcalm | o.O | 12:44 |
| Myrtti | app on an android tablet? | 12:45 |
| Myrtti | please tell me more. | 12:45 |
| bigcalm | Um, one mo | 12:46 |
| bigcalm | Myrtti: I used this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.groundupworks.partyphotobooth&hl=en_GB | 12:46 |
| Myrtti | ah right. | 12:48 |
| Myrtti | D might whip up something with a Raspberry Pi and a Canon camera that can be controlled with gphoto2. | 12:48 |
| bigcalm | Hehe | 12:50 |
| bigcalm | That's exactly what I wrote | 12:50 |
| bigcalm | He's welcome to carry on with what I started | 12:50 |
| Myrtti | do you have it in github? | 12:50 |
| Myrtti | or somewhere? | 12:50 |
| bigcalm | Myrtti: https://github.com/bigcalm/python_photo_booth | 12:50 |
| Myrtti | ha! | 12:50 |
| bigcalm | The idea is that you have a webcam for lining up the shot and then a DSLR for taking a good photo | 12:51 |
| Myrtti | I might nag him into looking that today | 12:52 |
| bigcalm | I found that the RPi wasn't powerful enough to give a responsive user experience. But the touch screen I bought works with a laptop with HDMI and USB. | 12:54 |
| bigcalm | Still didn't have the energy to finish it in time, hence the android app | 12:54 |
| bigcalm | When is the wedding? | 12:54 |
| Myrtti | If I don't have a total meltdown before it, at the moment it looks like February | 12:55 |
| Myrtti | started looking at venues and celebrants and photographers two weeks ago. | 12:56 |
| switchtehbeat | anyone here who have virgin media as their ISP and know about download/legal issues? I could do with your help. :) | 12:57 |
| Myrtti | venue will confirm which of the two possible weekends it might be in February, photographer and celebrant already confirmed both are ok. | 12:58 |
| Myrtti | well, that was... patient | 12:59 |
| bigcalm | Our photographer was Tony Whitmore. His availability dictated when we got married :) | 13:00 |
| bigcalm | Having three quarters of the Ubuntu Podcast at our wedding was fun | 13:01 |
| Myrtti | hehe, yeah, we'll probably get the guy who did my mums funeral photography (yes it's a thing in Finland) | 13:01 |
| bigcalm | Goodness | 13:03 |
| penguin42 | I guess they don't need to be that good at action shots | 13:03 |
| Myrtti | he's actually pretty good for what I can see. People seem to have always had photos taken at funerals (any family occasion, really) so we got a photographer to take some photos so the people wouldn't need to do it themselves. | 13:05 |
| Myrtti | my cousin mucked that idea up by blocking the paid cameraman while taking photos with her small pocket point and shoot though, on a few shots :-| | 13:05 |
