foobarrythanks gutys10:03
davmor2JamesTait: yeah I'm doing that anyway wifey is poorly10:03
MooDoohowdy davmor210:13
davmor2MooDoo: how are you me owld mucka10:13
MooDooyeah i'm ok mate, just watched a video about sabdfl getting someone up on stage to use autopilot :D10:15
MooDoodavmor2: what about yourself good sir.....? I've also been trying to p2v my ubuntu server to vmware with not much success :D10:17
davmor2MooDoo: watch the live migration of doom while it is playing if you want funky :)10:21
MooDooyeah i saw that too, :)10:21
MooDoodavmor2: just could do with my webserver virtualising for failover.10:23
NET||abuse:( hamster project is pretty much dead. sad face, I really need something to track myself with something like the desktop integration of hamster10:23
NET||abuseand the granular reporting it gave. i really liked it.10:24
davmor2MooDoo: easy ha proxy with a cloud backup :P10:24
MooDoodavmor2: doesn't help me with duplicating the server in the first place though10:29
MooDooi could usee virt-v2v i think10:31
ujjainhow do I install an pkg file with dependencies?10:33
NET||abusepkg?10:33
ujjain.deb?10:33
ujjainapt-get install blabla.deb not working10:33
NET||abusedpkg -i blah.deb10:33
NET||abuseand sudo that10:33
ujjaintoo many dependencies10:33
NET||abuseahh, in that case10:34
NET||abuseapt-get install -f blah.deb    I think it might also get the dependancies10:34
NET||abusei'm not sure though10:34
MooDooi normally dpkg -i blah.deb10:35
MooDoothen sudo apt-get -f install to get all the rest10:35
NET||abusedpkg -i blah.deb first. yes MooDoo is right, then aptget -f install  will say "dependencies are ready to install" and it'll go get them.10:35
NET||abusethen dpkg -i blah.deb again to get the package10:35
NET||abuseotherwise, i think gdebi might do it for you too10:36
ujjainmeh, I think the teamviewer package is a bit crappy10:37
ujjainmaybe I should use vnc,10:38
NET||abuseteamviewer sorts out the connection nat forwarding etc for you , but vnc is fine too,, though i have a big interest in starting to use spice10:41
NET||abuseotherwise look at no machine's nx10:42
ujjainyeah, I have blcoked ports here I cant change, it's a bit of a pain in the culo10:42
ujjainbut i'll fin da way10:42
NET||abusethe other way is X11 forwarding :)10:42
ujjainah, good one, but my laptop has no Linux, but Mac10:43
NET||abuseHEATHEN!!! get the nonbeliever!!!10:44
Myrtti_SHUN THE NONBELIEVER10:45
Myrtti_SHHUUuUuuNnN10:45
foobarrysacrifice him at dawn10:45
NET||abusemarry him to a goat, then try him for bestiality!!10:46
ujjainI repent my sinful way of life. :(10:46
NET||abusehmm, i might have gone a little far there.10:46
awilkinsujjain, If your server is in colo and there are other Ubuntu servers in there htey may have an apt mirror up10:46
foobarryprove your repentance by posting a picture of your mac on fire10:46
Myrtti_https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=CsGYh8AacgY10:46
foobarryor just boot ubuntu ;)10:46
NET||abuse:P hehe,10:46
* NET||abuse whispers : pssst,, ujjain you can just boot ubuntu in virtualbox full screen,, that'll trick em!10:47
NET||abuseoh wow, does spice do audio too10:47
foobarryspice desktop?10:48
foobarrywho uis using it10:48
foobarryi'm about to get redhat in to chat about it10:48
ujjainah, maybe I should install a good OS in a virtual machine yeah.10:48
davmor2Myrtti_: thanks now I have this in my head http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSTBFZ-To2E10:48

brobostigonhow do i enbale me as a normal user, to allow raw usb device access to a raw usb device in /dev/bus/usb ?12:01
willcookebrobostigon, this might help:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=901891&page=412:06
willcookeI think you have to create a udev rule to set the perms on the specific USB device you want access to12:07
willcookeand/or be in the plugdev group12:07
brobostigonok, thank you.12:07

foobarryreally hard to tell13:35
popeymy kids are making ceramic poppies at school13:41
foobarrynice13:43
zmoylan-piwhen they could be out sweeping chimneys13:43
TwistedLucidityNever sure how to feel about poppies. One the one hand it's a worthy cause, on the other a low of people (read: MPs) use it as an excuse for fawning and trying to gain reflected glory.13:44
foobarryits good to remember these things13:45
foobarryi ignore what MPs say at the best of times so meh13:45
foobarryalso they are selling the 880,000 poppies to raise £11.6m13:45
foobarryto worthy charities13:45
TwistedLucidityOne thing that is beginning to irk me about the UK is the near deification of our armed forces. I know the put there lives at risk, I know it's a horrible job at times and they often have inadequate kit/support after conflict.13:48
TwistedLucidityI get all that.13:48
foobarryhmm , do you read the sun or something?13:48
foobarryi don't see it13:48
TwistedLucidityBut there is an air of "If you don't support <insert military charity>, then you hate your country"13:48
zmoylan-pithen there's what if some public face *doesn't* wear a poppy13:49
TwistedLucidityIt's like you need to be seen to support it in order to be socially accepted, no matter what your feelings on it may be.13:49
foobarrybe careful not to think that the media speaks for people. it only speaks for a small group of insular people13:50
TwistedLucidityI'd rather see the military not used for illegal wars/nation building/etc in the first blasted place.13:51
TwistedLucidityBut I guess that's fantasy vs reality.13:52
TwistedLucidityAnd I have broken my web server. Oh bother.13:56

BigRedSI have two 10.04 machines running Pidgin 2.10.9. One claims our jabber server's cert is invalid, the other doesn't, Anyone got any ideas why?16:06
BigRedSI don't really care about the validity of the cert, but I don't seem to be able to say 'ignore cert errors' or even 'don't use encryption'16:06
bigcalmdavmor2: I hope that the council go in for exterior renovation (as can be seen on Birmingham's towers)16:08
davmor2bigcalm: no too damned expensive :)16:09
