[02:31] <daftykins> well that was a mission and a half
[02:31] <daftykins> now it's draining water down to the compressor evaporation vessel properly and is clean inside out \o/
[02:31] <daftykins> now i just need beer to fill it with...
[02:32] <daftykins> maybe food too, but less so on that front
[02:39] <zmoylan-pi> rum cake? :-)
[02:40] <zmoylan-pi> sherry trifle
[02:40] <daftykins> o0
[02:42] <zmoylan-pi> or bernards lolly from black books... http://gifsoup.com/view/2705130/black-books-lolly.html
[02:44] <daftykins> :D
[02:44] <daftykins> never watched that
[02:44] <zmoylan-pi> omg, go get black books
[02:44] <zmoylan-pi> did you like father ted?
[02:44] <daftykins> hells yes :>
[02:44] <daftykins> that's practically law
[02:44] <zmoylan-pi> then black books will press all the right buttons
[02:45] <daftykins> vewy gewd
[02:45] <daftykins> buying the Batman game the other day i got a free bluray of the Dark Knight series, i should throw that in to see how good it looks
[02:45] <daftykins> despite already having a 1080p rip *whistle*
[02:47] <zmoylan-pi> and just in case as you somehow missed black books you have seen the i.t. crowd also from same folk
[02:47] <daftykins> saw an ep or two but didn't get the appeal hugely
[02:48] <zmoylan-pi> you didn't see the 'it's vista' 'we're going to die!' scene then...
[02:49] <daftykins> newp

[02:55] <daftykins> hmm, i can see how it's meant to be funny
[02:58] <zmoylan-pi> the episode with the german internet cannibal was sublime
[04:38] <MartijnVdS> It begins! http://arstechnica.com/business/2015/07/man-killed-by-a-factory-robot-in-germany/
[04:42] <zmoylan-pi> car making robots have been killing people since the 70s i think
[04:43] <daftykins> RotM!
[04:45] <zmoylan-pi> http://www.thinkartificial.org/aesthetics/the-first-human-killed-by-a-robot/
[04:45] <zmoylan-pi> and that excludes things like torpedos or missiles which have certain levels of smarts
[05:36] <mapps> anyone watching mr robot?
[06:44] <bujji> popey:check pm

[06:46] <bujji> :)
[06:50] <MooDoo> morning morning
[06:50] <mapps> morn
[06:52] <bujji> after noon
[07:29] <KnightWork> morning everyone !
[07:32] <SuperMatt> morning
[07:34] <KnightWork> Hey SuperMatt
[07:34] <KnightWork> how are you today
[07:37] <diplo> Morning all
[07:37] <SuperMatt> I'm well thank you
[07:37] <SuperMatt> yourself?
[07:38] <KnightWork>  Yep .. little too warm for my taste.
[07:38] <KnightWork> Little neckpain of working on my laptop too long yesterday
[07:38] <SuperMatt> I'm ok now that I'm in the airconditioned office
[07:39] <KnightWork> Same here , worked from home yesterday and I probably got slow-fried to death
[07:42] <awilkins> Heh, the only downside to working at home ; offices have better temperature control systems
[07:43] <awilkins> Of course, whether they are actually switched on is determined by how cheap your employer / the company they lease the office from / is
[07:44] <popey> i bought one of those portable air con units when wifey was pregnant with sophie 11 years ago, it comes out once a year :)
[07:44] <awilkins> My old employer leased offices from Regus and they were seriously cheap
[07:45] <awilkins> They'd shave any cost - cheaper paper towels in the toilets, turning the knob on the AC in their favour
[07:46] <awilkins> Thankfully that extended to not refilling the poison gas dispenser in the toilet (those automatic "air fresheners")
[08:00] <KnightWork> Camped out at the office today aswell
[08:00] <KnightWork> spent most of the day in my darkened home office yesterday
[08:02] <KnightWork> but being away from people (and sunlight) is not always good
[08:04] <TwistedLucidity> Unless you are a vampire
[08:04] <KnightWork> TwistedLucidity: who says i'm not :p
[08:04] <KnightWork>  :[
[08:05] <TwistedLucidity> Fair warning, I had *a lot* of garlic yesterday....
[08:06] <KnightWork> Been working on my XPS13 for the last couple of days now ..
[08:06] <KnightWork> very pleasant to see that ubuntu is ticking 99% of all my requirement boxes
[08:07] <KnightWork> + the XPS is great hardware
[08:08] <popey> ooh
[08:09] <KnightWork> popey:  ?
[08:09] <TwistedLucidity> I read another review that was less than complimentary, shall see if I can find it
[08:09] <KnightWork> TwistedLucidity: not biting you anytime soon :p
[08:10] <KnightWork> popey: i'm pretty pleased. Aside from the touchpad being a little sensitive on 14.04 i don't have any major issues. battery life is great , i don't have the key-repeat issue ... so all is fairly well.
[08:10] <KnightWork> + the hardware is fantastic
[08:10] <TwistedLucidity> KnightWork: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3bftcu/finally_received_my_dell_xps_13_first_thoughts/
[08:11] <KnightWork> I recorded a podcast about the Dell XPs13  , its been scheduled for release in 2 weeks
[08:11] <TwistedLucidity> Not me, so can't attest to how much of the faults are Dell's, Canonical's or just a case of PEBKAC.
[08:28] <davmor2> Morning all
[08:28] <davmor2> Oddly the Song stuck in my head this morning is popcorn
[08:28] <KnightWork> oh god !
[08:28] <KnightWork> horrible 80's synth song
[08:28] <foobarry> aaaaghghghggh
[08:30] <KnightWork> foobarry: i agree :p
[08:30] <KnightWork>  
[08:38] <TwistedLucidity> Axle F
[08:41] <foobarry> jan hammer theme from miami vice. my first 12 inch and i didn't even know what miami vice was
[08:42] <KnightWork> Jan Hammer is a great artist !
[08:44] <KnightWork> or this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60HpUaCJO6k
[08:44] <TwistedLucidity> Crockett's Tune?
[08:44] <KnightWork> TwistedLucidity: there are a few better ones . The theme song from Miamy vice is great, crockets theme too ...
[08:44] <TwistedLucidity> I like this theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB1NiNKwueE
[08:45] <TwistedLucidity> The movie reboot was shockingly dreadful.
[08:45] <TwistedLucidity> Well, it was Hollywood; so no real surprise.
[09:00] <foobarry> this is so epic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQDU-2qMre0
[09:01] <foobarry> jan hammer doing epic faces
[09:01] <foobarry> while watching the programme
[09:05] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy "I Forgot" Day! 😃
[09:12] <davmor2> Man that was close I thought you'd forgotten ;)
[09:22] <TwistedLucidity> Forgot what?
[09:25] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:28] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: I forgot
[10:01] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[10:29] <bigcalm> Is there a way of managing security releases rather than just running dist-upgrade all of the time?
[10:53] <popey> unattended-upgrades ?
[10:53] <popey> !info unattended-upgrades
[10:53] <bigcalm> Yeah, eventually found what our PM wanted. Just the info, not sure we'll do so though
[10:53] <popey> i run that on my mums computer
[11:01] <davmor2> bigcalm: landscape?
[11:01] <bigcalm> Not for this client. But it did cross my mind as well
[11:05] <davmor2> bigcalm: other alternative install byobu it lets you know when there are updates and reboot's required, also if you tie that in with popey unattended updates you'll get an up-to-date security system that will tell you when there are optional updates and when the system needs a reboot for certain packages
[11:19] <diplo> As long as you login to said server :)
[11:38] <KnightWork> hmm.. i need to setup a raspberry pi with a web - ssh interface. Will be pretty helpful to do stuff when i have nothing to do at work
[11:43] <brobostigon> thats easy KnightWork
[11:44] <KnightWork> brobostigon: i know. I have a spare raspberry pi lying around that can do the trick
[11:45] <brobostigon> :) cool.
[11:47] <zmoylan-pi> otherwise the budget would have killed the project outright... :-)
[12:04] <diddledan> mernin
[12:13] <diddledan> yey for generic mailouts from sales companies. Apparently eBay think I'm likely to be interested in Ann Summers bras and knickers. Well I am unsure how they found out about my weekend habbits...
[12:15] <zmoylan-pi> in this heat you could use the bra as a double barrled water balloon launcher...
[12:15] <diddledan> lol
[13:26] <hazrpg> hey all \o
[13:27] <brobostigon> hi hazrpg :)
[13:27] <hazrpg> I have a quick question for you guys, does anyone else suffer from the system locking up due to going into swap too often? I've noticed chrome seems to be the biggest culprit.
[13:28] <hazrpg> chromium doesn't seem to be any better either :(
[13:28] <hazrpg> brobostigon: hey dude :)
[13:32] <popey> i dont get that, no
[13:33] <popey> I use tab suspender in chrome to pause tabs, which seems to help
[13:35] <foobarry> hazrpg: yes
[13:35] <foobarry> in the last 2 weeks
[13:35] <foobarry> my stable system went unstable
[13:35] <foobarry> it has been fine for last coupel of years
[13:46] <hazrpg> popey: I might have to revert to using that again, I use to use that when I had like 30+ tabs open, but now it seems my system has become unstable after around 10+ tabs - which just destroys my workflow... :(
[13:47] <hazrpg> foobarry: I'm so glad its not just me then!
[13:47] <hazrpg> foobarry: I did think it was weird that for years there was no problems and suddenly a stable ubunut become very unstable.
[13:48] <popey> how much ram?
[13:48] <hazrpg> I wonder if Google, or the lovely contribs of Chromium are trying to fix this, because it is very frustrating
[13:49] <hazrpg> popey: varies, my work pc is around 8GB, laptop has 6GB and my colleague has around 8GB on his laptop, and 10GB on his PC - all with the same problems.
[13:49] <popey>   5.1 GiB + 171.7 MiB =   5.3 GiB       chrome (40)
[13:49] <popey> ho ho ho
[13:49] <hazrpg> ?
[13:50] <popey> where my ram went
[13:50] <popey> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11810213/
[13:52] <hazrpg> wowza
[13:53] <hazrpg> popey: how much RAM do you have?
[13:53] <popey> 16
[13:55] <popey> GB :)
[13:57] <foobarry> hazrpg: i haz 8gb
[13:57] <foobarry> i've switched to firefox this week as a result
[13:59] <popey> heh, i switched away from ff
[13:59] <foobarry> my screen freezes and disk light comes on
[13:59] <foobarry> and its sudden
[13:59] <foobarry> my window manager seems not to like low RAM, even if there is swap
[14:05] <hazrpg> foobarry: We're having the exact same problem, we're toying with using FF instead too.
[14:07] <foobarry> strange thing is i used to merrily use 50 tabs
[14:07] <foobarry> now its a much lower number, i think chrome has changed something inthe last 2 weeks
[14:08] <hazrpg> foobarry: I agree, I wish I could roll back a few versions before it broke but sadly my apt cache folder hasn't got any earlier versions in there for me to use :(
[14:14] <foobarry> i wonder if you can succesffully use ulimit
[14:14] <foobarry> to restrict the mems given to chrome
[14:15] <popey> won't it then "ooh snap" when it runs out?
[14:18] <foobarry> hazrpg: could always try the beta version
[14:19] <popey> thats even less stable IME
[14:19] <popey> I went to unstable and then went back, but couldn't because my profile had been upgraded
[14:19] <popey> so had to delete it and start agian
[14:19] <foobarry> but might show quite quikcly if the RAM muncher is dead
[14:21] <celesteh> Hi, I have a friend who is having a weird network configuration issue where both the BBC and Netflix think she is connecting from outside the UK. She was able to sort out the netflix part by changing DNS servers, but still can't access iplayer. Any advice?
[14:22] <foobarry> it sometimes happens celesteh
[14:23] <foobarry> channel4 on youtube often used to complain
[14:23] <foobarry> then the next day it would be OK
[14:23] <foobarry> but netblocks of IPs are wrongly reported with geoIP i think
[14:23] <foobarry> try to get a different IP address from teh adsl provider by turning off the router overnight?
[14:24] <celesteh> thanks, foobary. i'll suggest it
[14:25] <celesteh> Unfortunate when it happens during a world cup semifinal :(
[14:25] <popey> also, you can contact the bbc about it
[14:25] <popey> so they can fix it
[14:26] <popey> https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/faqs/forms/adverts-uk/?eid=&id=VQC3NSDMRLCRQH4UEVM1L0I2GK&mid=&uid=478178997
[14:26] <popey> linked from http://www.bbc.co.uk/faqs/online/website_changes
[14:27] <foobarry> firefox doesn't scroll thru tabs with the scroll wheel :(
[14:27] <celesteh> cheers!
[14:27] <popey> i only ever do that by accident
[14:28] <celesteh> Oh yeah, the firefox thing is a bother. i keep trying to scroll and it clicks on the tabs instead.
[14:28] <Azelphur> Hey folks, I just built a new home server on a Gigabyte B85M-D2V which has a Realtek  RTL8111/8168/8411 NIC. It doesn't work, doesn't show up in ifconfig. I read some stuff which says to install r8168-dkms, which I did, but it still doesn't work, I get "module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel" out of ideas, halp? :)
[14:29] <foobarry> does dmesg or syslog show any more info?
[14:30] <Azelphur> foobarry: https://dl.pushbulletusercontent.com/r7pvrGfAnPae7UGcoAjvWem7ifbxCTXU/IMG_20150702_153009.jpg
[14:32] <foobarry> where did u download the driver?
[14:32] <popey> is it configured in /etc/network/interfaces?
[14:32] <Azelphur> http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/r/r8168/r8168-dkms_8.039.00-1_all.deb
[14:32] <foobarry> http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2
[14:32] <popey> sudo ifup p2p1
[14:32] <popey> or sudo dhclient p2p1
[14:33] <popey> why do you need the driver?
[14:33] <Azelphur> popey: sudo ifup p2p1 -> Ignoring unknown interface p2p1=p2p1
[14:33] <foobarry> good point popey, the module seems loaded
[14:33] <Azelphur> Maybe you're right though and I've made incorrect assumptions about the driver
[14:33] <popey> is it in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[14:33] <Azelphur> no
[14:34] <popey> it should be :)
[14:34] <Azelphur> Adding auto p2p1 | iface p2p1 inet dhcp | iface p2p1 inet6 auto
[14:34] <Azelphur> and rebooting :)
[14:35] <Azelphur> it shows up in ifconfig now, but isn't connecting, dhclient p2p1 seems to hang.
[14:36] <popey> dodgy cable?
[14:36] <Azelphur> testing with laptop...
[14:37] <Azelphur> helps if I plug cable in, works now :)
[14:38] <diddledan> yawn
[14:38] <Azelphur> had it unplugged last night when I was fiddling trying to get it working lol
[14:38] <Azelphur> popey: so yea, just needed adding to /etc/network/interfaces I guess, I clearly went down the wrong path there :)
[14:41] <Azelphur> whelp next problem, looks like kvm is broke, probably because I just switched from AMD to Intel and it's all set up wrong?
[14:41] <Azelphur> "Error starting domain: unsupported configuration: guest and host CPU are not compatible: Host CPU does not provide required features: misalignsse, sse4a, svm"
[14:43] <Azelphur> fixed it, woo, now I'm all up and running again
[14:43] <foobarry> now go and eat ice cream
[14:43] <Azelphur> sounds tempting
[14:44] <popey> Azelphur: yay!
[14:47] <diddledan> icecream!!!?!
[14:47] <diddledan> I WANT ICE CREAM!
[14:47] <Azelphur> https://owncloud.azelphur.com/index.php/s/FBYqZQ7y5Vd9K3Y so shiny :)
[14:48] <diddledan> Azelphur: that's nice
[14:48] <diddledan> I do like that it has storage for 10 disks
[14:48] <Azelphur> yea, gives me a lot of room for expansion
[14:49] <diddledan> it's a nice case
[14:49] <Azelphur> indeed, really like it
[14:49] <diddledan> also it's a fractal design which are usually pretty well thought-out cases
[14:50] <Azelphur> phew, the CPU still takes a major beating doing transcoding
[14:57] <Azelphur> https://owncloud.azelphur.com/index.php/s/Ah00Nl8CVWhpSG8 hehe
[14:58] <TwistedLucidity> Azelphur: You appear to have bought a black box, and a smaller black box. Congrats! :-P
[14:58] <diddledan> lol
[14:58] <diddledan> TwistedLucidity: say it like it is
[14:58] <Azelphur> and a smaller black box? o.O
[14:58] <diddledan> Azelphur: with wires poking out
[14:59] <Azelphur> oh I see, the PSU and case :P
[14:59] <Azelphur> amusingly, I had the PSU laying around, bought it years ago
[14:59] <TwistedLucidity> And you shouldn't be transcoding - that's a crime.
[14:59] <TwistedLucidity> Digital thief!
[14:59] <Azelphur> TwistedLucidity: https://xkcd.com/488/ :)
[15:02] <TwistedLucidity> I wish I had time to do something more proper-er with my own home server
[15:03] <diddledan> lol
[15:03] <diddledan> more propererer
[15:04] <TwistedLucidity> Got KVM on it, ownCloud and then...well...life
[15:04] <diddledan> mine's running freenas
[15:04] <TwistedLucidity> Want to bung a DLNA server on there but...life
[15:06] <Azelphur> TwistedLucidity: Emby functions as a DLNA server along with a bunch of other stuff and is real easy to set up
[15:06] <Azelphur> Emby is very polished
[15:07] <TwistedLucidity> Emby is a new one, was thinking of using "Universal Media Server" as it did transcoding etc
[15:07] <Azelphur> TwistedLucidity: emby does transcoding, and it has a web panel and will stream anything from your collection to you in HTML5/WebM
[15:08] <TwistedLucidity> So does UMS, seems I may need to check out Emby
[15:08] <Azelphur> fun
[15:08] <TwistedLucidity> Also need to figure out how to do multicast-proxying.
[15:08] <Azelphur> emby handles metadata and will act as a backend for kodi too
[15:08] <TwistedLucidity> Or how to correctly firewall the "smart" TVs
[15:09] <Azelphur> hehe
[15:34] <mapps> going to a europa league qualifier in a min;D
[15:47] <diddledan> mapps: are you sure you're qualified to do that?
[15:47] <diddledan> oh right, it's a qualifier, so they'll tell you whether you are afterwards?
[15:48] <diddledan> yey for someone bringing the idiot kanye down-a-notch: http://www.msn.com/en-gb/music/news/glastonbury-2015-comedian-lee-nelson-invades-stage-during-kanye-set/ar-AAcfij6?ocid=spartandhp

[15:51] <diddledan> the greek bailout is nearly at 1.5meeleon!
[15:51] <diddledan> that's nearly a whole percentage

[16:15] <bigcalm> Is there a way of seeing what disks are in a server but not mounted?
[16:18] <bigcalm> Got it, sudo sfdisk -l
[16:18] <bigcalm> Ta
[16:20] <diddledan> bigcalm: glad I could help
[16:35] <davmor2> bigcalm: did you resolve the switch issue in the end?
[16:36] <bigcalm> davmor2: nope. Didn't have time to do anything else with it that day. Not back in the office until next week
[17:21] <diddledan> where oh where has my leccy gone!
[17:45] <davmor2> diddledan: I think you missed the dear liza, dear liza off the end of that
[20:11] <knightwise> damn its hot
[20:12] <daftykins> mmhmm
[20:17] <zmoylan-pi> we're rapidly reaching the point where the only way to breath is open a window and stick your head in a building...
[20:19] <diddledan> methinks the leccy guys are in for a long night
[20:19] <diddledan> they've just discovered that the fault is roughly directly underneath a load of buses and a fence
[20:20] <diddledan> they haven't started digging that bit yet
[20:20] <daftykins> your neighbourhood got a blackout?
[20:21] <diddledan> just a bunch of flats in my building afaict
[20:21] <diddledan> (not the whole building, however)
[20:22] <daftykins> ah
[20:22] <daftykins> you're in a tall thing?
[20:22] <zmoylan-pi> all those poor smartphone users.  having to start friday with a half charged smart phone...
[20:22] <daftykins> :D
[20:22] <diddledan> nah, a quadrangle
[20:23] <diddledan> I might have a photo I can share. just a sec
[20:23] <daftykins> now the gov will know where your HQ is :O
[20:25] <zmoylan-pi> diddledan will post a pic of mi6 hq to throw them off
[20:26] <diddledan> this is one side - consider that the building also goes behind the camera: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=847812CA14CFDA17!261207&authkey=!AIWlkCY-6fxEubo&v=3&ithint=photo%2cNEF
[20:27] <diddledan> here's an arty farty different angle: http://1drv.ms/1CO7My1
[20:27] <diddledan> I would get the original of that arty farty one but the pc it's on is offline due to lack of powers
[20:27] <dogmatic69_> wtf, just restarted ubuntu and could not log in. 'cant start session'
[20:27] <dogmatic69_> dropped to terminal and had to install ubuntu-session.
[20:28] <diddledan> the "fault" is under one of those garden things
[20:28] <dogmatic69_> this upgrade to latest version has been less than ideal.
[20:28] <daftykins> o0
[20:28] <daftykins> dist-upgrade?
[20:28] <diddledan> \o/
[20:28] <dogmatic69_> I upgraded a while ago, restarted a couple times
[20:28] <dogmatic69_> actually did not even restart now, I logged out win+L key
[20:28] <diddledan> only got 1 hour left on the battery in this pc
[20:29] <dogmatic69_> came back and borked
[20:36] <diddledan> dogmatic69 how did you upgrade? do-release-upgrade or manual?
[20:37] <diddledan> (the ui counts under do-release-upgrade)
[20:42] <dogmatic69_> do-release-upgrade
[20:42] <dogmatic69_> in terminal
[20:42] <diddledan> hmm that should be fine
[20:42] <diddledan> I wonder what went wonky...
[20:42] <dogmatic69_> and it completely broke my system.. after it kinda finished I had 1500 packages that were in limbo
[20:42] <diddledan> unrelated: "kill the messenger" looks like an intriguing film
[20:42] <dogmatic69_> had to manually sort them out
[20:42] <diddledan> ouch
[20:43] <diddledan> that's crazay
[20:43] <dogmatic69_> ye
[20:43] <dogmatic69_> wonder if I should risk .04 -> .10 now...
[20:43] <diddledan> lol
[20:43] <dogmatic69_> and it boned my vbox install
[20:44] <dogmatic69_> could not start anything, and now its broken again
[20:44] <dogmatic69_> no shared folders mount
[20:45] <daftykins> o0
[20:49] <diddledan> the synopsis for nbc's series "odyssey" sounds like a good plot, too
[20:50] <zmoylan-pi> must be good, cancelled after 1 season
[20:51] <diddledan> really?

[20:52] <diddledan> are we back?
[20:53] <diddledan> power is slowly returning
[20:53] <diddledan> things are firing up
[20:53] <diddledan> it's like a jet engine slowly starting in here
[20:58] <diddledan> and back
[22:19] <pashaman> hello
[22:20] <pashaman> anyone else here have an ASUS UX305FA Zenbook laptop?
[22:22] <pashaman> I'm having issues with the laptop brightness keyboard function keys.  Wondering if anyone else had this issue and what they did to correct it.
[22:22] <pashaman> display brightness function keys, I meant to say.
[22:23] <pashaman> Anyone one of you alive in here?
[22:23] <pashaman>  of the dead.
[23:05] <daftykins> hrmm rather patient user there
[23:47] <diddledan> power's off again
[23:48] <ball> diddledan: Caused by the heat?
[23:48] <diddledan> no idea
[23:48] <diddledan> they're digging up a large swathe of garden in the courtyard
[23:49] <ball> Ah, JCBs'll do it, too.
[23:49] <diddledan> no, they're digging the garden to fix it
[23:49] <ball> I wish I hadn't just bought my wife a Mac.
[23:50] <diddledan> oops
[23:50] <diddledan> :-p
[23:51] <ball> It started with an iPad a few years ago, then I got her an iPhone. Now I'm trying to bring it all together but MacOS X and iTunes seem ...suboptimal.
[23:55] <diddledan> it's a slippery slope
[23:55] <diddledan> next it'll be a watch
[23:59] <daftykins> :D
[23:59] <daftykins> and then a divorce *ba-dum-tish*
[23:59] <daftykins> sorry.
