[00:03] anyone know how you switch to the TTY in kvm? [00:03] * popey bets penguin42 would know :) [00:05] huh what where? [00:06] popey: so you've got a guest and you want to pass it the equivalent of ctrl-alt-f1 ? [00:06] popey: What client are you using - virt-manager? [00:06] exactly [00:06] just kvm launched from a terminal [00:06] hardcore ㋛ [00:07] oh, that's weird :-) [00:07] popey: Do you have a View menu with compat-monitor 0 on it? [00:07] no menus [00:08] hmm [00:08] is this using 'virsh' ? (i'm googling :D ) [00:08] popey: Yeh so when you say kvm from the command line; what are you actually running ,qemu directly, or virsh or what? [00:08] kvm [00:09] kvm -m blah -hda foo etc [00:09] I *think* that's an alias for qemu - yeh [00:09] root 22919 37.1 13.0 2577572 2130808 pts/36 Sl+ Mar07 7:53 qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -hda /dev/sdc [00:09] looks that way [00:09] popey: if you type ctrl-a c in the terminal where you started it do you get a (qemu) prompt ? [00:10] no because my kvm is inside a screen [00:10] so my screen will give me a new window [00:10] then type ctrl-a a c [00:10] nope [00:10] I get ^Ac in my terminal [00:10] gonna tell me I should use some frontend or something? [00:10] and not be so ghetto [00:11] popey: Yeh well I normally do or run non-graphical in which case I get the serial prompt and can switch with ctrl-a c [00:11] hmmm [00:11] popey: if you're not seeing any menus I wonder what you're running; I think the gtk front end is probably what gives me menus on the fedora build [00:12] popey: I wonder if it's the SDL build you've got [00:12] could be, the window isnt super useful [00:12] can't believe it's a year since flight MH370 already [00:12] it doesn't resize well [00:13] i suspect the menu / gtk bit is more part of the virt-manager gui [00:13] popey: No, this isn't virt-manager [00:13] oh [00:13] popey: I'm running pure qemu on f21 here and still getting a menu [00:14] * popey installs virtmanager [00:14] oh yeh, no menus on the Ubuntu build [00:14] its pulling in a different qemu build [00:16] popey: OK, add the following to your kvm line -chardev stdio,id=mon -mon mon [00:16] k [00:16] you should now have a (qemu) prompt [00:16] \o/ i do [00:16] great [00:16] * popey makes notes [00:17] popey: Now you can type at that prompt sendkey ctrl-alt-f1 [00:17] win [00:17] thanks! [00:17] no problem [04:54] yo === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi [10:05] morning boys and girls. [10:35] pip pip [10:54] morning popey [11:23] Id it Thursday yet? I want my chocolate coffee beans ordered last night. [11:23] *Is [11:28] :) [11:28] * brobostigon should have recieved his new d20 dice set, tmrw. [11:35] oooh, what do the new shiny dice look like? [11:38] they are a transparent white, blue writing, with flecks on the inside. [11:39] * zmoylan-pi avoids transparent dice as they can be hard to read sometimes depending on the surrounds. [11:39] yes, however i have already got a transparent set, and i think with enough colour contrast, it isnt a huge problem. [11:40] my current transparent set, is black writing on white, they are fairly easy to read. [11:41] i also once bought a nice set with celtic style engraving around the numbers and they are a bugger to read [11:42] yes, i can imagine, [11:42] so these days stick to an opaque dark with bright numbers on them styles [11:43] :) [12:07] though i am always tempted to hunt down a d-total... http://www.dicecollector.com/D24_ALEXANDER_SIMKIN_GAMESCIENCE_D_TOTAL_01.jpg [14:18] Hi [14:19] hey [14:22] penguin42, I'm trying to get some help with a problem. Is this a support channel ? [14:23] steini: Not really, you're better to ask in #ubuntu [14:24] Ok, I have already tried that. === h is now known as Guest17510 [15:32] well [15:32] thats annoying [15:33] had hoped for cheap flights from gib -> manchester but nothing under £160 .i wanted £10 lol [15:33] eek, can't have you coming here.... [15:33] thought to manchester would be way cheaper than to Heathrow [15:33] so id use my free flights to heathrow [15:33] mapp: The only really cheap flights here seem to be Ryanair [15:33] yea and they dont fly to gib [15:34] mapp, did you look under the "I'm prepared to hang on the wings" option? [15:34] only got sleazyJET Monarch and BA [15:34] lol [15:34] I'd have assumed sleazyjet would be the most likely [15:34] buy a boat :) [15:34] i dont need to go back ..i just planned on using my 2 free flights )(max £250) to go back to Heathrow ..and get a cheap flight back to Manchester and taxi to stoke [15:34] a taxi to stoke would cost you more wouldn't it? [15:35] yea lol [15:35] easier to just get the train [15:35] £45-50 each way [15:35] usually just get Ahmed to take us to the airport (we got the same taxi everyday to the casino) lol [15:35] yea but with a case penguin42? [15:35] mapp: Not that big a hastle if it's just the one; train from airport-piccadilly, piccadilly-stoke [15:36] stoke-oblivion [15:36] hm [15:36] yea [15:36] maybe [15:36] but the platform for asirport was miles from main picadilly stations [15:36] well not miles [15:36] got the train to manchester airport when i went to Holland [15:37] work pay for the flights anyway upto 250 so i might just pay for taxi [15:37] mapp: Oh if you do use the train, use the train not the tram; there's now a tram from the airport to manc city centre, but it goes a long long way around [15:38] oh didnt know that [15:39] mapp: Why stoke? Home? [15:41] where i lived for 7years so still have a house and stuff there [15:41] home is the Surrey area i prefer to say [15:41] i just lived in stoke;p [15:42] ah ok, so you escaped.... [15:43] incredible really here.we pay £1600 3 bed in gib [15:43] my friend just moved here..800 euros 3 bed in La Linea [15:44] rachel pays 500 for a 3 bed! [15:44] 800 euros is right near the border..but la linea is a dump;[ [15:44] O_O [15:44] afty [15:47] ;] [15:47] hey everyone [15:48] hey o/ [15:48] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nNMrDqZcj8 [15:48] xbox news at GDC video :D very exciting [15:48] talks about upcoming Windows 10 integration [16:02] * penguin42 is getting drawn to the idea of buying an ice cream maker [16:02] :O [16:03] * penguin42 has been making chocolate sorbet by hand for the last few years, and well they always come out quite rough and it is a faff [16:04] but, they're ~£200 so hmm [16:06] If I run it 10 times a year, and it's guarantee is 5 years, and assuming it dies immediately after the guarantee, then that's #4/batch which is way more than the ingredient cost [16:07] you're forgetting how popular your house will become in these calculations of course ;) [16:07] that would be a big downside [16:07] lol [16:07] hmmm... buy £200 worth of choclate sorbet instead? [16:08] SuperEngineer: Well, you see that is the calculation [16:08] no hassle - all nom nom [16:09] SuperEngineer: Although finding chocolate sorbet to buy is actually quite hard [16:10] ..bring it home, let it melt into a sealed bag - refreeze... then you even made it yourself! [16:10] SuperEngineer: I didn't know such a wonderful thing existed into a gellato place near hear started selling it and it was wonderful - but then they closed down, and anyway it was very expensive [16:10] hmm [16:11] trying to install wordpress..getting errors..denied when making the tables [16:11] yet i created a new user in mysql and granted privileges on the wordpress db [16:11] O_O [16:11] penguin42, take £200 into a shop - I bet they'll obtaain some for you! [16:11] at udea? [16:12] ant [16:12] any [16:12] arghh [16:12] Hey, I'm having an issue with latex, that seems to be a font issue, but I see the font under my font manager. This si the error: http://pastebin.com/70q4XxyD [16:13] mapp: what errors? [16:13] or - any ant at udea ? even [16:13] SuperEngineer: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fCP6bC8IaZm7mm_Mx0LmhKYZ2u2QxX7naeGdhq1-wko/edit#gid=0 see it's a very simple recipe although I've been trying to add Xanthan gum last year to make it smoother and it's not really helping [16:13] penguin42, add evostick instead [16:13] permession enied to create the tables [16:13] ;(((((( [16:14] SuperEngineer: I'm not sure there's much difference [16:14] mapp: cut and paste to paste bin? Did you edit the wp config file? [16:14] lol [16:14] yea [16:14] sec [16:15] mapp: the wordpress codex is really good, so you might also try googling with your error messages and see if you get anything [16:16] SuperEngineer: You see it's actually wonderfully low calorie for something that tastes very chocolatey; the only problem is the texture of making it by hand [16:16] stupid windows8 machine stopped respnding [16:16] cant do anything yet [16:16] argh [16:16] mapp: did you create as GRANT ALL ON db.* [16:17] was the db already existing perhaps? [16:17] ya [16:17] created the db [16:17] Does anyone here have any latex experience? I only use it once a year or so for conference papers. [16:17] penguin42, won't a blender smooth it out & maybe make it a bit "fluffier" even? [16:17] dont you have to specify the user to give all perms daftykins [16:17] no me celesteh;/ [16:17] SuperEngineer: After freezing? [16:18] mapp: but it was empty, so freshly created then you set the user+pass with full perms? [16:18] penguin42, pre-freezing - just before it goes sub-zero, as it were [16:18] mapp: you're breaking the famous wordpress 5 min install XD [16:18] ..just an idea - no proof [16:18] GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on WORDPRESS.* TO 'wordpress'@'localhost' no? [16:18] hahaha daftykins [16:18] yea [16:18] no tables just empty db [16:18] then did the above [16:18] * penguin42 tries to do maths to justify this ice cream maker [16:19] which i read in the docs..isnt that right? [16:19] sec i've got my notepad upstairs with notes on the process [16:19] ;] [16:20] deff got te db created i checked..got a user wordpress with a pass set..didnt wanna use root ;p and did the above grant cmd [16:20] yes you would not use root [16:20] never ever :> [16:21] i should reinstall my VMs today, 10.04 is nearly dead :O [16:24] mapp: GRANT ALL ON wordpress.* TO 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY "password"; [16:27] yet another wonky disk in #ubuntu - wowzer [16:28] this whole 'all my important data on one mechanical drive' approach is frighteningly common [16:30] daftykins, all my media & docs are on a separate partion, which is backed off onto a 2nd disk for safety... people think I'm daft - I am daft [& proud of it]... but I am the one who laughs at them when they ask for help [16:30] =] [16:54] I now have a pretty good server backup system [17:48] http://www.unrelatedshit.com/2014/07/30/kvm-too-fast-for-plymouth-upstart-bridge/ [17:48] *chuckle* [17:48] VM on an SSD starts too fast :> [17:50] I used to have this issue on my laptop [17:50] :D [17:50] my wallpaper kept disappearing. it took me a while to figure out why - my pictures are on spinning rust, my OS is on SSD [17:50] daftykins: Haha that's fun [17:51] do you even need plymouth stuff on a pure CLI server VM 0o [17:51] and this was the first thing it loaded from the hdd, so it gave up 'waiting' for the drive to spin up [17:51] :D [17:52] and there's a lot of cruft on ubuntu VMs that doesn't make sense. I'm still not entirely sure what console-kit is, let alone why I need 20 copies of it on a VM [17:53] 1022MB used for a clean install of 14.04.1 32-bit fully updated and old kernel + package cache cleared [17:53] (thus it became 14.04.2 but with a 3.13 kernel still) [17:53] 20 copies?! [17:55] what's the package? i just grep'd dpkg -l for 'console' and see console-setup [18:01] hm, trying to find a VM I haven't stripped to barebones heh [18:03] do you use the full ISOs or mini.iso? [18:03] usually the -server iso [18:04] i select nothing in tasksel so i'm not sure i'd get any difference [18:07] hm, I'll have to take a poke at a fresh image when I get home [18:07] most of mine have been scraped down to <5 processes lol [18:09] i only give my little web server VM 256MB of RAM, maybe i shouldn't use ubuntu anymore [18:09] my pi has more ram... :-) [18:10] yes well, the least said about that the better ;) [18:10] only seems to use 120mb on a day to day basis [18:15] wow there's a lot of junk, all wireless tools packages and everything [18:20] wireless-regdb wants to remove the kernel :D [18:23] well done automattic: http://torrentfreak.com/wordpress-wins-25000-from-dmca-takedown-abuser-150305/ [18:23] for every reference in that article to "wordpress" swap it for "automattic" and it'll be correct [18:24] wow [18:38] diddledan: $960 for the author, $1860 for their employee work and $22264 for attorney fees :-( [18:39] they don't expect to see a penny from the news item i read. they just see it as a nice legal slap against the idiot doing the dmca takedowns [18:44] https://vimeo.com/96558506 [18:44] funny [18:47] apple are announcing the rumoured iThingy tomorrow? [18:48] seem's the win's worth more than the money. for california to collect a judgement from 'straight pride UK' sounds rather difficult [18:48] 10am PDT [18:48] shauno: Oh yeh, it's just the proportions that feel so wrong [18:48] shauno, aye, I wonder how the court mandates a uk entity to pay a us fine [18:49] and the 9th is a bit brave of Apple. sounds like they've finally pulled off a DST switch without breaking the phone [18:49] I suppose the uk entity opened themselves up to it by using a us law [18:49] which is quite lucky, the day before they push their watch lol [18:50] speaking of DST and iPhone, I wonder how many fanbois are gonna miss it [18:51] they were an hour late because they forgot to change their clocks? :-) [18:51] zmoylan-pi, the iphone is supposed to do it for them. but it fails. [18:51] right, that's what I was referring to :) [18:52] ms has a blind spot for leap years. and don't get me started on american date formats... [18:53] have I idea no talking you're about :) [18:54] ebenink [18:55] * penguin42 wonders if that was a password or almost what you use to draw on an eink display [19:01] ah nice and sunny [19:01] * mapp wore shorts and tshirt out:D [19:01] bank holiday here tomorrow too..wonder if it means sunday night's busy like in the UK [19:03] it's officially spring when you can walk barefoot in bathroom and not freeze on contact with floor... :-) [19:03] my floors get cold ..marbel floor but thats good for summer [19:03] else il struggle with the 30+ i think [19:04] next year il have to decide whether i pay the £1000+ and stay in gib or move to spain ...i love being near work is all;/ [19:04] well love because it means i spend no time travelling:D [19:09] yay wordpress done [19:09] thx daftykins i had the GRANT ALL slightly wrong [19:11] np [19:11] see, lovely paper notes ;) [19:12] ASRGH [19:12] cursor frozen again [19:12] o0 [19:12] happens loads to me on win8 [19:12] factory install? ;) [19:12] ja [19:19] penguin42: it was "evening" :) [19:41] gah [19:41] gain problems with squidGuard [20:16] just watching cloud atlas - the wachowskis got the dude who played agent smith in the matrixes to say a similar line to one he said in that. namely "there's a natural order to things" [20:23] but they didn't get him to wear a faaabulous dress [20:23] o_O [20:25] you haven't seen priscilla?!

[21:00] walkie talkies [21:00] doorbell. 11am isn't early :p [21:01] that's why i always have a whistle on my keyring. comes in handy for communicating in crowds or over distance :-) [21:02] i had to throw stones at the window once to get wifey to come down and let me in [21:02] she'd left keys in the door [21:03] my parents would do that all the time :( it was a subtle hint to move out, i think [21:03] hah [21:03] one of the neighbours came home and asked if I wanted to kip on her sofa [21:03] that and renting out your room... :-) [21:03] eventually wifey woke up [21:06] I am about to buy my first steam game... [21:06] * popey falls over [21:06] what you getting? [21:06] cities [21:06] first O_O [21:07] http://store.steampowered.com/app/255710/ [21:07] i should stop buying games on steam till i finish the ones I have [21:07] :D [21:07] yeah, i saw that, looks good fun [21:07] seems spendy to me [21:07] I dont play much, but sim city has always been my fav [21:07] Ori and the Blind Forest comes out for xbox one on Wednesday \o/ [21:07] I'd wait for a sale [21:07] eek, i have 219 games on steam now [21:08] only started using it when they made a Linux client [21:08] eh. and £20 is spendy... [21:09] that's more games than i've had since the platform first started XD [21:37] last night i was just into bed when i suddenly deeply desired an explanation for the end credit theme from 'Frasier' [21:37] http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2012/04/story-behind-tossed-salad-and-scrambled.html [21:37] :D [21:51] when you spend 10 minutes taking a phone apart looking for the memory card slot... [21:52] did it have one? [21:53] yup, i inserted a card into it last year [21:53] the inside of the phone is matt black, the card is matt black, the card is tiny, there are dozens of little corners and sticky out bits... [21:54] was it really a card slot so much as a crevice? :D [21:54] took out the battery, removed the sim, poked at various other bits till i found the flush cover of the slot on outside of the phone... [21:55] i thought by ejecting the card and sticking it in usb reader i'd save time instead of transferring it over usb cable which is painfully slow when copying 10gb of music [21:56] still slow eh? :) [21:56] 30minutes to go, might be the card methinks [21:56] not sure why... [21:57] Class 10 / UHS 1? [21:58] it's inside a reader flush in this laptop so can't read it's designation. annoying little sod #1 will do as a name till i get a chance... [21:58] :D [21:59] other than slow transfer speeds it hasn't given any trouble so i'm not sure if i'll take a hammer to it. considering how often the phone it's been in has been dropped it's taken a bit of abuse [22:15] https://twitter.com/EmrgencyKittens/status/574687287298166784/photo/1 [22:15] :D [22:15] i think i'd get concerning looks if i made Mischief a cat sized bed [22:16] you'd have moved into crazy cat person zone [22:16] just place cardboard box in cat sacrifice zone and be done [22:17] pwaah. finally after a week of nearly every nights efforts, we managed to narrow down the amount of wedding portrait photos that we want to 12. [22:17] crikey [22:17] who knew looking at photos of yours... oh actually. [22:18] I actually did know I've got a chronic problem at looking at photos of myself. [22:20] get a relative who's taste you trust to make the decision? [22:20] or suggestions? [22:20] nah. [22:21] me and hubby just vetoed each other [22:21] and even still ended up with 7 pictures more than what is included in the price of the photoshoot [22:34] what to do now [22:34] invent a time machine [22:34] or a working jetpack [22:35] or antigravity [22:35] get back to us when you have a working prototype :-) [22:35] and have a friend clued in so we get posted youtube vids [22:36] I wonder do non-geeky businesses realise what kind of reliability problems they have if they use an @aol.com or hotmail.com or yahoo.com or gmail.com email addresses as their contact address [22:36] surely if he invents a time machine, he can tell us about it now :) [22:38] curious, what problems? [22:38] yeah - what reliability? [22:39] maybe it's a sucky time machine that will only work within the paramaters of when he invented it and when he uses it so that it will only allow the earliest time to be arrived at as a moment after it is invented... [22:39] perception problems, yeah I'll give that [22:39] I just feel iffy [22:39] hotmail was fairly sucky after ms bought it but has stayed up for last while [22:39] gmail is fairly bulletproof [22:39] especially when they've got their own domain their site is on, and still listing @aol.com address on it [22:40] WHY [22:40] WHY DO YOU DO THAT [22:40] whyyyyyy [22:40] because what matters to you doesn't seem important to them [22:40] it's strange but true [22:40] I know. [22:41] it just... bah. I wish I was less geeky sometimes [22:41] likewise if you drive and have a friend who sells/fixes cars some of your car choices will baffle them [22:41]
