[04:45] <diddledan> so just restarted spotify to update it - it looks like the green is somewhat more luminous
[04:53] <zmoylan-pi> or you're hallucinating from lack of sleep...
[04:54] <diddledan> that might be true
[05:02] <zmoylan-pi> this entire irc channel could be a product of your imagination...
[05:05] <diddledan> :-o
[05:07] <zmoylan-pi> your minds way of telling you to run with the bulls in pampolona... here take this red t-shirt :-p
[05:10] <diddledan> that's why startrek uses red shirts!
[05:10] <zmoylan-pi> space bulls
[05:48] <knightwise> morning peeps
[05:48] <diddledan> morning
[06:36] <Knightwork> morning everyone
[07:05] <Knightwork> does anyone know if there is a good voice recorder in Ubuntu Touch ?
[07:05] <diddledan> no idea. I really need to try out touch at some point
[07:06] <Knightwork> I was thinking about using my ubuntu phone as a podcast player recorder
[07:11] <Knightwork> maybe popey knows ...
[07:14] <MooDoo> hello all
[07:19] <diddledan> m00
[07:19] <diddledan> :-p

[07:26] <Knightwork> any of you hava an ubuntu phone handy ?
[07:26] <MooDoo> not me sorry
[07:26] <Knightwork> I would like to check if there is a voice recording app for ubuntu phone
[08:12] <popey> Knightwork: there is
[08:12] <Knightwork> popey: Wicked !
[08:12] <popey> Knightwork: only does very short duration
[08:12] <popey> notnpodcast size
[08:12] <Knightwork> is it the one that only records for 30 seconds or can you do some longer recordings?
[08:12] <Knightwork> damn :( I was afraid of that
[08:12] <popey> it could be modified probably
[08:13] <popey> victorp: made it
[08:13] <popey> he knows morr
[08:19] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:22] <popey> yo
[08:23] <MooDoo> howdy brobostigon popey
[08:24] <brobostigon> morning popey and MooDoo
[08:24] <foobarry> isn't popey on holiday?
[08:24] <popey> he is
[08:24] <brobostigon> shame about the weather.
[08:24] <foobarry> he really knows how to holiday
[08:24] <brobostigon> hanging out on irc.
[08:24] <popey> yeah. 35 degrees or so
[08:25] <popey> just waiting for family to finish getting ready
[08:25] <brobostigon> :)
[08:25] <foobarry> the irc family
[08:25] <popey> then off out
[08:25] <foobarry> hard day by the pool
[08:25] <popey> :)
[08:25] <davmor2> Morning all
[08:25] <foobarry> since having kids i've never had a day by the pool
[08:26] <popey> doing it wrong :)
[08:26] <davmor2> Gangstas Paradise Added to the playlist this morning :)
[08:26] <brobostigon> kindle, cocktail, lounging on the beach.
[08:26] <davmor2> popey: no he means he is banned from all the pools for trying to drown them
[08:26] <bashrc> good moaning
[08:27] <foobarry> don't think i've seen a pool in fact
[08:27] <foobarry> except a rock pool
[08:28] <brobostigon> the closest i have been to a pool recently, was a couple of weeks ago, my gf and her son, going swimming at our local pool.
[08:29] <popey> \o/ everyone ready. off out. l8r...
[08:29] <diddledan> tata
[08:30] <brobostigon> o/
[08:32] <MooDoo> howdy davmor2
[08:33] <davmor2> MooDoo: me owld mucka, 'ow am ya?
[08:35] <MooDoo> davmor2: yeah i'm good thanks :)
[08:37] <davmor2> MooDoo: Morning head songs updated :)
[08:49] <MooDoo> davmor2: I'm listening to your SynthPop playlist
[08:49] <davmor2> MooDoo: that's an album
[08:50] <MooDoo> yeah i'm still listening to that :D
[09:07] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Pandemonium Day! 😃
[09:09] <diddledan> JamesTait: that sounds like it could be hectic
[09:09]  * davmor2 goes to JamesTait 's Winds his kids up to Hyper Level and waves bye to JamesTait 
[09:09] <JamesTait> davmor2, I wouldn't notice the difference.
[09:11]  * davmor2 invites 200 other kids to JamesTait 's
[09:13]  * JamesTait tells the cleaner if any kids turn up she's to direct them to the park at the top of the street.
[09:15] <foobarry> we had to stop our cleaner coming
[09:15] <foobarry> austerity bites
[09:16] <diddledan> manifoldjs.com sounds interesting
[09:16] <brobostigon> isnt that what husbands and bf's are for, cleaning. lolz.
[09:16] <davmor2> JamesTait: I'm telling your wife you call her "our cleaner" lets see what chaos that causes ;)
[09:16] <diddledan> I wonder if there's any chance of getting ubuntu as a supported target
[09:16] <JamesTait> foobarry, it's a one-time luxury, my wife's been working a lot lately.
[09:16] <JamesTait> davmor2, she'd probably say "Ooh, I got a promotion!" 😝
[09:17] <diddledan> is nasa doing a livestream today?
[09:18] <davmor2> JamesTait: hahahahaha
[09:18] <diplo> popey: I've started using Suspend tab thing you've mentioned, do you use any of the excludes as they don't appear to work for me ?
[09:18] <diplo> Ah just read up, gone out :)
[09:19] <davmor2> JamesTait: I got it,  /me turns off JamesTait 's internet connection, now watch mayhem as the air turns black
[09:19] <JamesTait> Hah! ☺  Yeah, that'd do it.
[09:20] <foobarry> diplo: i used it for a while, the exlcudes worked for me
[09:20] <diplo> Hmm, I'll try and work what I've done wrong then, thanks foobarry
[09:21] <diddledan> looks like nasa will be live at 12:30(BST)
[09:21] <foobarry> i stopped using it as it exacerbated my problem. YMMV but i am trying firefox isntead
[09:25] <brobostigon> its a record for me, been with my gf for ten months in two weeks time.
[09:25] <diddledan> \o/
[09:25] <diddledan> well done! :-D
[09:25] <brobostigon> :)
[09:25]  * diddledan jelly
[09:26] <foobarry> ice cream
[09:26] <brobostigon> sprinkles
[09:26] <diddledan> foobarry: drown my sorrows with ice cream, eh? that sounds like a plan
[09:34] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[09:34] <foobarry> anyone actively using irssi proxy ?
[09:36] <davmor2> Morning bigcalm
[09:36] <davmor2> foobarry: yes
[09:36] <foobarry> work OK? easy to setup?
[09:36] <davmor2> foobarry: bigcalm too I think
[09:36] <foobarry> do notifications get carried across?
[09:36] <foobarry> using irssi notify?
[09:36] <bigcalm> foobarry: I is, yes
[09:37] <davmor2> foobarry: works fine and it is a doddle to setup
[09:37] <bigcalm> foobarry: it's just like being connected directly to an irc server. Everything passes through
[09:37] <davmor2> foobarry: no this is the thing that popey keeps on about
[09:37] <bigcalm> foobarry: I also use awayproxy.pl - it emails me if I'm mentioned or messages when I'm not connected to the proxy
[09:37] <davmor2> foobarry: you would need to run irssi locally and point that at the proxy and have irssi notify on the local box
[09:38] <foobarry> ok
[09:38] <foobarry> i see
[09:38] <foobarry> ta
[09:38] <davmor2> foobarry: however you can have plugins for auto away and emails sent to you for when you get pings etc
[09:39] <bigcalm> I just said that!
[09:39] <foobarry> i think the notifications are probalby most useful on my work PC when i'm multitasking anyway, which is where my irc runs too
[09:39] <foobarry> so i think i will stick to ssh -> screen -d -r
[09:39] <foobarry> when i'm elsewhere
[09:57] <foobarry> pluto just gained 73 miles diameter
[09:57] <diddledan> o_O
[09:57] <foobarry> Mission scientists say it is 1,473 miles in diameter, somewhat larger than many prior estimates of 1,400 miles.
[10:05] <victorp> popey, it would be easier to make a new one
[10:06] <victorp> popey, code --> https://code.launchpad.net/~vtuson/+junk/snaprecorder
[12:59] <diddledan> the data from new horizons will take till november 2016 to fully downlink
[13:00] <zmoylan-pi> all those nasa engineers using netflix and downloading cat videos... :-p
[13:00] <diddledan> lol
[13:00] <diddledan> they bounce netflix off pluto?
[13:01] <zmoylan-pi> it gets around the geo ip :-)
[13:02] <diddledan> lol
[13:02] <diddledan> the geoip reports "earth"
[13:02] <zmoylan-pi> 'earth:mostly harmless' i think you'll find
[13:02] <diddledan> unless they vpn it in which case maybe "sol system"
[13:04] <diddledan> apparently the downlink maxxes out at 4Kbit/s
[13:04] <zmoylan-pi> they should bounce terry pratchetts x-clacks-overhead off it
[13:05] <diddledan> GNU
[13:07] <diddledan> rockets are awesome
[15:44] <lopta> What's the lightest flavour of Ubuntu?
[15:44] <zmoylan-pi> lubuntu i think
[15:44]  * lopta goes to look for it.
[15:45] <zmoylan-pi> if that's too limited then xubuntu
[15:48] <lopta> I've had good experience with Xubuntu in the past. Perhaps I should try lubuntu too, for comparison purposes.
[15:53] <lopta> I'm trying Xubuntu 14.10 while I download lubuntu 15.04. Unlike Windows 10 technical preview, Xubuntu has already recognised the WiFi and second monitor on this laptop.
[15:54] <zmoylan-pi> xubuntu can be made to look and behave a lot like win2000 which was my favourite version of windows
[15:55] <lopta> I'm happy with it looking and behaving like Xubuntu. ;-)
[15:55] <lopta> ...but that may help me get it under the radar at work, for some projects.
[15:56] <zmoylan-pi> oh for that put a rasp pi in a desktop calculator :-)
[15:57] <lopta> zmoylan-pi: I only put my model B away to free up desk space for the laptops I'm potching with now.
[15:58] <lopta> My boss' boss wanted me to try Windows 10 on them just to run an RDP client.
[15:58] <lopta> ...but not all of them are well suited to Windows.
[16:01] <zmoylan-pi> you put... the model b... away... to free up desk space... ::pictures a desk from a dolls house:: :-)
[16:02] <lopta> Well, there's the model B and a USB hub and keyboard and mouse and wires and things and stuff.
[16:03] <lopta> Hmm... the screen went black.
[16:03] <lopta> (both screens)
[16:04] <lopta> Oh, I get it.
[16:04] <lopta> brb
[18:34] <neuro> plamf
[19:55] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[19:56] <MooDoo> howdy bigca
[19:56] <MooDoo> howdy bigcalm
[20:06] <lopta> Let's have another go at installing lubuntu.
[20:06] <lopta> Perhaps I did something wrong.
[20:32] <bujji> hello o/
[20:33] <lopta> hello bujji
[20:33] <bujji> how do you do?
[20:33] <lopta> Good thanks, yourself?
[20:34] <bujji> good))
[20:37] <bujji_> lopta:o/ again
[20:37] <matt_____> hi
[20:37] <bujji_> hi))
[20:37] <matt_____> not sure if i am at the right place!
[20:38] <bujji_> ?
[20:38] <matt_____> i need some technical help?
[20:38] <bujji_> you can ask here
[20:38] <matt_____> great!
[20:38] <matt_____> just installed ubuntu 15.04
[20:39] <matt_____> just a couple of issues
[20:39] <matt_____> 1) system wont start up and shut down correctly
[20:39] <bujji_> go ahead
[20:39] <matt_____> i have to start up using systemctl defaaut
[20:40] <matt_____> and shutting down i have to power the machine off
[20:40] <matt_____> also none of my usb ports are working
[20:44] <matt_____> is there anything that i can try to rectify this?
[20:45] <bujji_> check default run level.
[20:45] <matt_____> ok, how do i do this please
[20:46] <bujji_> who -r
[20:47] <matt_____> is that from the command line? who -r
[20:47] <bujji_> yes
[20:47] <matt_____> what should i expect to return
[20:49] <bujji_> what is the current run level?
[20:49] <matt_____> no idea!!
[20:49] <matt_____> brand new on this os so how do i check current level
[20:50] <bujji_> who -r (or) runlevel type in terminal
[20:51] <matt_____> right i obviously will have to shutdown and restart to get command line unless you know a shortcut?
[20:51] <bigcalm> ctrl+alt+t
[20:52] <bigcalm> That will bring up a terminal window
[20:52] <matt_____> brill if i do that now i wont lose the chat?
[20:52] <bigcalm> Alternatively, ctrl+alt+f1-6 will take you to tty1-6. Use ctrl+alt+f7 to return to the desktop
[20:52] <bujji_> no
[20:53] <matt_____> thanks for that just writing these important shortcuts down!!
[20:53] <matt_____> 1 sec i will go and try
[20:55] <matt_____>  run-level 5  2015-07-14 20:17
[20:57] <bujji_> init 2
[20:57] <matt_____> ?
[20:59] <bujji_> it will change to run level 2
[21:00] <matt_____> ok will that correct my issues?
[21:01] <bujji_> type "lsusb"
[21:02] <bujji_> to see list of usb devices you told tht none of the usbs not working?
[21:58] <EUFIz> to-d-lo
[21:59] <EUFIz> is there a british ubuntu channel?
[22:05] <Myrtti_> that's pretty much what it says on the tin
[22:05] <EUFIz> this is united kingdom channel
[22:07] <Myrtti_> aaaaaannnnddddddd...?
[22:25] <EUFIz> i was looking for the british channel
[22:26] <EUFIz> for one the BBC
[22:26] <EUFIz> its British
[22:27] <EUFIz> its not UK tv
[22:27] <EUFIz> like wise there could be a british ubuntu channel
[22:29] <EUFIz> theres even a BBC computer
[22:35] <zmoylan-pi> ah, but if there were an actual british ubuntu channel it would be so reserved and polite that it would never ADMIT to been the british ubuntu channel... ;-)
