Banana_my screen artifacts returned. All day last night my system was working normal and before a update (i think it was) i havest experienced screen artifacts for 4 months16:11
penguin42damn, Amazon has started to understand me; it's offered me a 1kg bag of chocolate coffee beans17:42
SuperEngineerpenguin42, tell them I want those!17:52
SuperEngineerI lurrrrv chocolate coffee beans!17:53
penguin42SuperEngineer: http://www.amazon.co.uk/CAROL-ANNE-CHOCOLATE-COFFEE-BEANS/dp/B00CDW241Q/ref=sr_1_2?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1425750819&sr=1-2&keywords=chocolate+coffee+beans17:55
SuperEngineerpenguin42, thank you17:57
daftykinshi all17:57
daftykinspenguin42: hehe, you are powerless to resist!17:57
penguin42SuperEngineer: Seems a reasonable price - if they're good17:57
SuperEngineeryup17:58
* penguin42 had the first ice cream of the year today from an 'artisan' chocolate shop; very creamy, but frankly very unchocolatey :-(17:59
daftykinsit was oddly sunny down here, too18:00
daftykins12 deg C i believe18:00
penguin42it was lovely here18:00
SuperEngineerIt was gorgously sunny here... went for a pint, drank it outside in the sun...18:01
daftykins:)18:01
daftykinsi went to a cafe up north overlooking a harbour, bay and the neighbouring islands18:01
SuperEngineer...&commented "oh what a glourious day, except for that awful wind"...18:02
SuperEngineerjust as a woman passing farted.... perfect timing methinka18:02
SuperEngineer*methinks18:02
daftykinsD:18:04
daftykinstsk tsk naughty CentOS users trying to get support in #ubuntu18:07
daftykinsthe bash prompt is such a giveaway 8D18:08
SuperEngineerpenguin42, just ordered me some chocolate coffee beans.  Fingers crossed :)18:22
penguin42SuperEngineer: Haha sorry about that; if you're still awake after a week then they're probably good18:25
bashrcWell Ubuntu MATE is running pretty well. It's old skool, but hey.18:31
SuperEngineerpenguin42, I call chocolate coffee beans "chocolate driving means".. so here's hoping!18:32
penguin42bashrc: I quite like it; my dad mostly runs mate18:32
bashrcI ran Gnome 2 for years, so this is quite familiar. I expect it's also very lightweight and could run well on older hardware18:33
penguin42SuperEngineer: haha; M&S used to do some a few years back where it was chocolate coffee remolded into a bean shape that were great; no crunchy core but still a big kick18:33
t7stupid xchat-gnome opens this channel by default18:34
t7i have no idea how to stop it18:34
bashrcirssi ftw18:35
t7i dont like monospace fonts on irc18:35
penguin42because it looks like  i rc ?18:35
t7because its not code18:35
t7arg reinstalling OS is very stressful :)18:37
t7i should just go back to chatzilla18:38
t7even though firefox crashes so often and i lose irc connection18:38
daftykinsi think the mistakes those that don't do OS installs often make, is they try to rush back.18:39
t7i just did 14.04 -> .1018:40
penguin42why would you reinstall for that?18:41
t7installed too much junk18:41
daftykinswell we all know what the word 'upgrade' really means ;)18:41
daftykinsi wouldn't fancy non-LTS personally :>18:41
bashrc'Upgrade'?18:41
t7also, can i use docker or something to keep all my dev and DB stuff separate from OS ?18:44
t7i dont want postgres running all the time (when i wanna play games)18:44
daftykinseggs and baskets come to mind :)18:44

penguin42has anyone got the magic to get five.tv to work ?20:37
diddledanpenguin42, I think it probably involves some kind of goat sacrifice21:08
penguin42diddledan: Well, I've tried that....21:08
daftykinsXD21:09
penguin42I've got it playing on my Android Phone; but failed with Firefox (ubuntu and fedora) chrome (fedora)21:10
penguin42pleasently surprised it's managing it on CM21:11
diddledanI think it requires silverlight on desktop21:12
penguin42diddledan: No, it seems to be Flash based these days21:12
penguin42diddledan: but requires flash-drm21:12
diddledanhmm21:12
zmoylan-piis flash more or less evil than silverlight these days? :-)21:12
diddledanthat is supposed to work out of the box21:12
penguin42there are suggestions you need to install hald and *then* sacrifice a goat21:13
shaunoI think that's really the only sane thing you can do with a goat once you've installed hald on it21:13
diddledanthe flash bundled with googley edition chrome should support drm on 14.1021:13
diddledanI thought 14.04 had received the relevant patches, too21:14
penguin42diddledan: Yeh, that's why I installed chrome on ubuntu though, I tried it on fedora using chrome downloaded from google21:14
penguin42diddledan: What needs the patches?21:14
SuperEngineeryou need a free range goat beforre it works21:15
diddledanpenguin42, a library shipped with ubuntu21:15
diddledannss?21:15
penguin42hmm21:19
diddledanlol @ full-disclosure mailing list: there's queries over java 8u40 being released and people questioning why there was an out-of-band (not scheduled) bugfix release. it's got to the point that a dude from oracle has had to step-in and point out that it's a feature release that's been planned for over a year21:20
daftykinsoh dear :)21:21
daftykinswere they frothing at the mouth and demanding answers as to what it 'fixed' ?21:21
diddledanhehe21:21
SuperEngineer...here I am, brain the size of a planet....21:23
penguin42all the diodes down your left leg...21:24
SuperEngineer;)21:24
zmoylan-pithat statement was made when pluto was considered a planet... :-P21:30
diddledanhow many times have we re-classified pluto now?21:35
shauno121:36
diddledanreally?21:36
shaunoas I understand it, it just went from planet to dwarf-planet when we discovered there's other KBOs that are as big, if not bigger21:36
diddledanI thought they upgraded it again and then down a second time21:46
daftykinsaww low battery already21:47
diddledan:-o21:47
* zmoylan-pi glances at phone i've used all day and it still registers 100% :-)21:48
daftykinsoh wrong chan21:48
daftykinsi dug out my Nintendo DSi :D21:48
zmoylan-pii tells ya that if nokia of yore had of made an electric car it would have the best range. :-)21:49
zmoylan-piturning the indicators on would have involved 16 menu options though... :-D21:50
zmoylan-pii quite liked the nintendo ds and the ds lite. very good solid hardware21:53
daftykinsit was claiming 50% battery when i fired it up just now, hasn't been used in years21:59
zmoylan-piah the smart battery guage that guesses and adjusts over a batteries life...21:59
daftykins:)22:11
diddledanI still can't get anything from bbc.co.uk other than text22:29
diddledanit just sits there spinning chrome's loading icon22:29
popeywfm22:30
diddledanhmm weird22:30
diddledaneverything else on the internet that I've tried works fine22:30
diddledanjust bbc can't load imagery and video22:31
diddledanlooks like js isn't loading eitehr22:33
diddledanweird, it's just this computer (maybe the browser)22:34
diddledanmy mac loads it fine22:34
daftykinsmatching DNS config?22:35
diddledanshould be - I do things with dhcp22:35
diddledanboth systems are resolving static.bbci.co.uk the same way22:48
diddledanthere's an error in the console from requirejs: http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#timeout <-- they helpfully don't mention the possibility that perhaps the server ain't responding22:50
diddledantheir two likely causes are 1) the path is wrong, or 2) the developer put two scripts of the same id22:51
shaunodo you have some variant of https-everywhere?22:52
diddledannoep22:52
diddledanI wonder why bbc set a cookie with a browser version string embedded?22:53
diddledanspecifically: Mozilla/5.0%20(Windows%20NT%2010.0%3b%20WOW64)%20AppleWebKit/537.36%20(KHTML%2c%20like%20Gecko)%20Chrome/40.0.2214.111%20Safari/22:53
shaunothat's a browser string?  it looks like ... all the browser strings22:53
shaunodo you get a meaningful error if you go to one of the static assets directly?  eg http://static.bbci.co.uk/weather/0.5.284/images/icons/individual_56_icons/en_on_light_bg/8.gif  ?22:54
diddledanthat loads22:54
diddledanthis is pending: http://static.bbci.co.uk/frameworks/barlesque/2.83.4/orb/4/img/bbc-blocks-dark.png22:54
shaunoso it can load them, but just doesn't want to ?22:54
shaunohm, that works here22:55
diddledanbut loads when I go there directly22:55
shaunoooh, you know what it is?22:56

daftykinsOEM you say? nope don't think so, not even sure what's involved?23:20
popeyk23:20
diddledanzmoylan-pi, not only does the mother wipe her child's face, but she uses her spit to do so23:20
popeyits for oems (funnily) which lets you install, customize it then ship it23:20
daftykinssadly i don't consider myself capable of supporting it well enough to try and put it in for someone23:20
popeythen when customer turns it on, it asks the usual questions - username, keyboard, locale etc23:20
daftykins*nod*23:20
zmoylan-pithat goes without saying diddledan, dial the embarrassment to 1123:20
