bigcalmGood morning peeps :)15:20
MooDoohowdy bigcalm15:21
bigcalmAny more for any more at http://doodle.com/4sdaaswwngu4n2bm ?15:22
bigcalmI'm closing the poll later today15:22
* diddledan feels his calm embiggened15:26
bigcalmo.O15:26
diddledanpoor attempt at nick-related humour :-p15:26
bigcalmI get it a lot15:26
bigcalmThough I'm usually mistaken for a big clam15:27
diddledanlol15:27
diddledana nick I used to go by alot was "Fremen" pronounced like the tribal group on arrakis' name but despite my constant prodding people would insist on calling me "Free man"15:29
diddledanand of course on less geeky places it would evoke comments about "Gordon Freeman" from the half-life games15:30
awilkinsThey backported the Unity notification numeric indicators from Utopic to Trusty I think16:50
diddledannowai?16:54
diddledanwhat are those? :-p16:54
Azelphurwell uhh, that server I was talking about yesterday, Hetzner appear to have just given it to us and not billed us17:32
zmoylan-pishhhhhhhh17:33
zmoylan-piyou'll jinx it17:33
Azelphurlol17:33
sebaliciousHey guys, I did just ask over at #ubuntu but I don't think anyone there knows: Has anyone had any success building fglrx 14.12 on the 14.9 kernel?17:40
popeyprobably nobody there did it17:41
* popey doesn't use amd video cards17:41
sebaliciousRadeon are a bit of good and bad with linux at times17:42
sebaliciousI can get it to build with 3.18.6 no worries, but on 3.19 it fails with no glaringly obvious error17:42
sebalicioushttp://pastebin.com/juB7wkiP17:43
bigcalm I've been tasked with finding myself a machine from Dell for the office. Some of the machines are coming with AMD/ATI cards with 4 HDMI ports on them. No idea if they work with linux though17:45
zmoylan-pidon't they sell systems with ubuntu these days?17:45
intrbizsebalicious: according to the release notes it's not supported against 3.1917:46
intrbizsebalicious: I suspect there are changes in the kernel which the fglrx code hasn't been updated to support17:47
intrbizsebalicious: eg, __get_cpu_var of include/linux/percpu-defs.h has been moved around etc17:49
intrbizbigcalm: I used to use AMD card with dual head no worries at last job17:51
intrbizbigcalm: IRRC for dual head + glx you need the fglrx driver and use the catalyst control centre to configure the monitors17:51
Laneyaaaaaaaahhhhh17:52
bigcalm intrbiz I think that having all of the heads on one card will be fairly usable17:52
Laneywhy do I still have that helpful virgin DNS thing turned on?17:52
DJonesLaney: PEBKAC17:54
intrbizbigcalm: yeh, one card many heads is the most reliable solution usually17:54
LaneyNO17:54
LaneyPEBVAC17:54
Laney'virus safe' was turned on17:55
Laneyseems to have fixed it17:55
intrbizbigcalm: how many displays are you after?17:57
bigcalmintrbiz: 317:58
bigcalmintrbiz: it's what I have at home17:58
intrbizbigcalm: used to use Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF, with AMD gfx cards and all dual head, mostly running Ubuntu18:00
bigcalmFair enough18:01
bigcalmI think it's time to leave Shrewsbury18:01
bigcalmSo I shall look at finding a machine once I get home18:01

sebsebsebdaftykins: heh21:43
sebsebsebyeah21:43
sebsebsebdaftykins: ,but it was never a love hate relationship,  it was more of a dislike relationship,  since  I got a rather bad contract really with the subsided phone I gogt21:44
daftykinsah :(21:44
sebsebsebplus they been making a bit more money out of me recnetly in recent mnths as a result to21:44
daftykinswe have less competition down here on Guernsey, so picking a telco was never too tough21:44
sebsebsebyes going over the minutes which were hardly any as well21:44
sebsebseb100 minutes is a joke when you actsauly start phoning  someone enough21:45
sebsebsebI'll save money like this to21:48
sebsebseb:)21:48
sebsebsebaltough that wuld probably just get spent on other things instead that amount, but anyway :d21:48
daftykins;)21:48
sebsebsebdaftykins:  I was paying like well I thought itw as £1021:48
daftykinsi could afford 2 beers a month if i cut my contract down21:48
sebsebsebor maybe it was for a while21:48
sebsebsebthen21:48
sebsebsebyah £15 or whatever, but for sucky contrac,t ok phone got subside or whatever, but hmm21:49
daftykinsi go SIM only, phone subsidy is a waste :D21:49
sebsebsebanything more htan £10 is a bit much in my case really,  since  not phoneing lots of people etc21:49
sebsebsebor texting lots21:49
sebsebsebdaftykins: yes I won't do a sub sided phone again21:49
sebsebsebgot  this Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini via phones 4 u  about two years agothough,  but that was then and yeah21:50
sebsebsebnow I got a Jolla phone :)21:50

daftykinsi'm hoping to wean myself off the new phone habits, i buy retail down here to get unlocked handsets that can be used in England etc21:52
sebsebsebdaftykins: maybe it's god to change number in my case now really I mean I even in the autummm had some kind of app  subscribed to my number21:53
sebsebseb,but I never subscried to that21:53
sebsebseband got charged £4 a week for like two months, when wasnt' really using my phone to since something,  and then I find out hmm21:53
sebsebsebdaftykins: so you get a bill for like £30  andyeah21:53
daftykinsouch21:53
daftykinsnever had that thankfully21:54
sebsebsebso rang  the thing up the contact number21:54
sebsebseband they stopped the app21:54
sebsebseb,but the guy was like you shoudl email.... for a refund, however never really got  round to it...21:54
sebsebsebcould try now, but I guess it's £30 down the drain either way21:54
sebsebsebdaftykins: then  occassionly you get these unknown odd calls to,  or voices messages left etc21:54
sebsebsebdaftykins: uknown call whilst at the cinema watching a film even, but my phone was quite silient :d,  but could feel it in the pocket21:56

diddledanso if you brought something to guernsey illegally, you pop it in the postbox?22:05
daftykinslol22:05
daftykinsi've never looked closely at those, i'll have a glance sometime maybe22:05
diddledanI wonder how the paperwork is enforced when someone turns up and doesn't file papers and then leaves again?22:06
shaunothere's probably an old lady feeding duck, who glares sternly and tuts22:08
diddledanis that the correct collective noun?22:09
shaunonope, I can't type well when I'm sideways22:09

daftykinsthe separation of Church and Booze22:12
shaunoI was gonna say dublin has a pub in a church, but it seems it's not a church anymore22:14
* popey returns22:14
zmoylan-pia lot of churches aren't churches anymore22:16
shaunoseems like a fair trade to me, ireland needs more pubs ;)22:17
zmoylan-pia lot fewer pubs too. prices are too high and drink driving limit lowered to levels where sniffing a wine gum puts you at risk22:18
