davmor2bigcalm: you'll be able to see the new motor :)13:09
bigcalmdavmor2: got rid of the 407?13:09
davmor2bigcalm: yeap we needed something heavier for the new caravan :)13:09
davmor2the tow weight on a 407 is abysmal13:10
bigcalmConsidering that the 407 is quite a large car to begin with, I'm guessing you have a silly sized caravan13:10
davmor2bigcalm: nope13:10
bigcalmdavmor2: you did have the under powered version of the 40713:11
bigcalmdavmor2: what have you gone for then?13:11
davmor2407 tow weight max ie your car is only 1500kg mine is 1800 and the van is 1500 which give me a nice 300kg buffer13:11
bigcalmFair enough13:12
bigcalmI don't go in for towing large things :)13:12
bigcalmIn fact, my 407 lacks a tow bar/ball13:12
bigcalmHayley's Matrix has that and was good enough to move house with13:12
DJonesdavmor2: What car have you got now?13:43
davmor2DJones: Skoda Superb Tow car of the year \o/13:44
shaunosee, I got half way through that before I realised the 407 wasn't authentication required.13:44
DJonesI used to have a Kia Sedonna for towing, car weight 2500kgs, could tow anything with that, but fuel consumption was almost at the gallons per mile ratio13:44
davmor2DJones: yeah this is just a bog standard saloon/hatchback 1800 tow weight and we went from Tenby to Wolverhampton on m4 m5 m6 and use a little over half a tank so I was pretty impressed with that13:47
=== alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g
davmor2DJones: we got that 2015 Adria Altea Trent and spent a week in tenby in the coldest week of november and never had the internal temp drop below 12°c at night with no heating so we were pretty impressed with that :)13:50
DJonesI ended up getting an Insignia estate, I suspect the weights are fairly similar to the superb13:51
DJonesIn theory, I can tow about 1600kgs, but would probably stay below 1500kgs which would cover most vans that don't need chelsea tractors anyway13:52
DJonesdavmor2: Thats good heat retention13:52
davmor2DJones: indeed that why we went with the superb the write up was fantastic it's won towcar of the year several time and been runner up for most of the rest and to be honest I can see why :)13:55
DJonesCars, caravans and towing have come a long way in the last 45 years, my first memory is my grandad towing his caravan with a 1300cc MK1 Escort14:07
=== MooDoo is now known as Guest33121
DJonesWives were never allowed to do the driving & towing, although even now my wifes friends are always shocked when she says she tows a caravan as though they don't think she'd be capeable14:09
davmor2DJones: I can understand why, I mean most people use cars not their wives to tow caravans ;)14:12
DJonesHeh14:12
DJonesMines good, although if she's had mushy peas or sprouts, the afterburner makes a mess of the caravan :)14:13
davmor2DJones: haha that's so wrong :)14:15

zmoylan-piwell if they want to push people to the inbox app they need to make the gmail app worse first :-)16:39
diddledanthey can't do that because businesses aren't allowed to use the "inbox" thing16:40
intrbiznew UI, material design,  breaks the soft menu button on my S416:42
intrbizin generall looks different and not quite a usable16:42
intrbizbut could be worse16:43
diddledan"breaks" it how?16:43
intrbizit doesn't work, you have to use the in app menu button16:43
intrbizrather than the menu button at the bottom on the screen on the S416:43
diddledanit shouldn't be visible in that case then16:43

=== Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte
diddledanGuest47327, you cacn try running top in a terminal to see if there's anything evidently using a lot of cpu21:48
diddledancan*21:48
Guest47327its so laggy i cant do that21:48
Guest47327diddledan:21:48
diddledanif the system is unresponsive then we can't work out why - all we can do is restart it21:50
Guest47327diddledan:  i tried that but im running on 12.0421:51
Guest4732732 bit21:51
diddledaneh?21:51
diddledanwhy is that a problem?21:51
Guest47327no i just wanna know why it could be laggy?21:52
diddledanyou said you tried rebooting but you're running 12.04 - why is running 12.04 a factor in rebooting?21:52
Guest47327i don tknow21:53
diddledanas to what would cause it - we need to find out if something is using your cpu or disc extensively thereby tying up runtime21:57
diddledanthat's why I suggested running top21:57
Guest47327oh i did run top but i dont understand it21:58
diddledanthe important bit is the lower-half of the window/screen - it's a list of processes sorted by their cpu usage in percent - it's a table with columns, and one of the columns is headed CPU% - look at the top few processes and see what amount of cpu they're using22:00
diddledanI would have share a screenie helping him if he hadn't left22:03
daftykinsdidn't exactly start out as a very good user, in fairness22:04

daftykinsthat's a pretty good idea23:18
daftykinsprobably have a wonderful seagate warranty of 1yr though :P23:18
diddledana few years ago a read/write speed of 150MB/s would be amazing23:19
daftykinsi actually made the mistake of disbelieving someone that a single mechanical HDD was up at that speed already23:19
daftykinsgranted it's only at the start of the disk though :D23:19
daftykinsin fact i was just reading a benchmark of the 6TB seagate on anandtech23:19
