[08:43] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: you didn't order from argos to get it on the same day?
[08:43] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: time waster
[08:44] <TwistedLucidity> You know what comes after "Yay! Hoverboard!" day?  "Why didn't I buy a full-face helmet and now need an emergency dentist appointment" day
[08:45] <davmor2> TwistedLucidity: well apparently you fall in water which will likely give you a cold so chemist run for cold remedies day

[08:46] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:36] <foobarry> got software raid on my i7 box for my /home but i get laggy terminal sessions etc. i think its a bit slow
[09:36] <foobarry> raid1
[09:36] <foobarry> is that normal
[09:38] <popey> what type of software raid?
[09:40] <davmor2> JamesTait: that's more a large drone with a man standing on it to be honest ;)
[09:44] <foobarry> mdadm, raid1, 2x1TB sata drives
[09:51] <popey> what kernel version?

[09:56] <popey> what else is it doing at the time? it's not rebuilding?
[09:57] <popey> I'd be doing the usual top / iotop / nethogs etc
[09:57] <foobarry> its not really provable, just a perception

[10:30] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[10:32] <davmor2> bigcalm: hey dude
[10:34] <bigcalm> Hiya
[11:31] <davmor2> why is chemical brothers song called hey boy hey girl when the lyrics are the other way round
[11:32] <directhex> marketing!
[11:33] <davmor2> directhex: if that was the case they would just call it hey girl and have some half naked women on the cover in an ibiza esque stylee
[11:34] <directhex> as opposed to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/66/HeyBoyHeyGirl.jpg ?
[11:34] <davmor2> directhex: so not marketing
[11:36] <Laney> write to your MP asking for an urgent question to be tabled in the house
[11:36] <popey> :)
[11:37] <davmor2> Laney: good plan might stop them screwing up the country
[11:37] <directhex> can someone give me a convincing answer to "why are there tractors in Pixar's Cars"?
[11:37] <popey> what else would the farmer have?
[11:37] <Laney> they could make songs with misleading or incorrect titles illegal
[11:38] <popey> The farmer being the combine I guess.
[11:38] <directhex> popey: no, see, there are cows in real life because meat and milk. cars replaces cows with tractors. so why are there tractors?
[11:38] <davmor2> directhex: because tractors rock and don't you forget it, there are also lorries, planes and helicopters, pickup trucks etc
[11:39] <popey> tractors pull farm machinery
[11:39] <directhex> not in Cars!
[11:39] <popey> they dont get seen doing that
[11:39] <popey> but that doesn't mean they don't
[11:40] <directhex> why is there even a farm?
[11:40] <popey> they plow
[11:40] <popey> or plough
[11:40] <popey> http://pixar.wikia.com/wiki/Tractors
[11:40] <popey> that quotes the blueray disney disc where they say that
[11:40] <popey> "They enjoy what they do, plowing through the fields on a nice warm day, and then falling asleep under the moonlight"
[11:41] <directhex> why do they plough?!
[11:41] <popey> Who else would plough?
[11:41] <directhex> it's clearly hay they're growing on that farm. why do they have hay?
[11:41] <popey> No other vehicle is built for it, Tractors are
[11:42] <davmor2> directhex: that can be the next question for the mps to debate over send it in ;)
[11:50] <awilkins> In "Planes" the Indian machine society venerates tractors like Indian Hindu's  venerate cows
[11:51] <awilkins> At the beginning I went "WTF, the hero is a crop-duster, why do machines grow crops?"
[11:51] <awilkins> But they correctly went with the "vegetable sources of fuel" argument on that one
[11:51] <popey> directhex: they need the hay for this guys hat http://imgur.com/o5yzNDY
[11:51] <directhex> that's straw not hay!
[11:52] <popey> pffft
[11:52] <popey> potato / potato
[11:52] <davmor2> man you guys really need to get a life :D
[11:53] <directhex> but is it a normal life, or an inexplicably car-based life?
[11:53] <awilkins> Why do the vehicles fall in love??!?
[11:54] <awilkins> I mean, you don't see any baby buggies or whatever driving around
[11:54] <davmor2> awilkins: they have for ever look at herbie
[11:54] <awilkins> I suppose in Cars 1 Mc Queen has some japanese schoolgirl type car groupies
[11:54] <directhex> how does a car "grow up" anyway? i mean, why would you build a racecar like mcqueen and he not immediately race?
[11:54] <awilkins> But they could just be adult cars being kawaii
[11:54] <directhex> we know they have parents, you see lots of parents in cars 2 in italy
[11:54] <directhex> but *how* are they related?
[11:55] <awilkins> They go down the car factory and pick chassis and trim together?
[11:56] <awilkins> (if it's a VW camper van, do they make sure the carpet matches the drapes?   *ducks*)
[11:56] <diplo> Or you could just enjoy it for the kids film it is, not educational ? :D
[11:56] <popey> shush diplo :)
[11:56] <diplo> Don't think my kids have ever asked any of those questions
[11:56] <diplo> hahahah
[11:57] <davmor2> directhex: Well this is a topic that should of been brought up at school, but basically, a mommy and daddy get together and mommy becomes pregnant........
[11:57] <directhex> also the cars in cars die of old age? yet apparently the parts can all get replaced?
[11:57] <directhex> like... doc hudson is dead in cars 2, and radiator springs' founder is dead in cars 1. yet in cars 2, apparently replacing an engine is nbd, so i dunno?
[11:58] <davmor2> directhex: but it was the doc that replaced the engine he couldn't do that on himself durrr :D
[11:59] <davmor2> so popey Tim Vine, hilarious as ever I hope?
[12:00] <popey> very
[12:00] <popey> It was proper laugh a minute
[12:03] <davmor2> popey: yeah him and milton jones the masters of the one liners, beautifully timed and very clever
[12:03] <popey> yeaha
[12:04] <davmor2> I still think bill bailey is my favourite though
[12:04] <directhex> he's fun live
[13:20] <MooDoo> !isitoutyet
[13:21] <MooDoo> :)
[13:26] <bigcalm> davmor2: you're slacking
[13:27] <davmor2> bigcalm: done my bit I found all the bugs :P
[13:27] <bigcalm> All of them?
[13:28] <bigcalm> No package updates after this release!
[13:28] <davmor2> bigcalm: all the ones I care about
[13:28] <davmor2> bigcalm: no lots to fix the issues I found :)
[13:32] <bigcalm> I'm sure it'll be a good release
[13:35] <MooDoo> I thought it was interesting marks announcement about x, don't think he really mentioned desktop, there is going to be one isn't there ? :)
[13:40] <popey> Of course :)
[13:42] <bigcalm> !isitoutyet
[13:43] <bigcalm> Aww
[13:43]  * bigcalm lurks
[13:43] <bigcalm> !isubuntumate15.10outyet
[13:43] <bigcalm> That's true
[13:50] <sebsebseb> hi
[13:53] <MooDoo> hello
[14:09] <davmor2> bigcalm: I'm so gonna slap you
[14:12] <MooDoo> davmor2: do it do it :)
[14:12] <davmor2> MooDoo: your next on the list :P
[14:16] <MooDoo> davmor2: yeah yeah yeah
[14:46] <davmor2> MooDoo, bigcalm: you'll be glad to know it's out now
[14:47] <bigcalm> Lovely
[14:51] <MooDoo> !isitoutyet
[14:51] <MooDoo> lol
[14:51] <bashrc> \o/
[14:52] <MooDoo> guess i'll dist upgrade later to see what I was missing lol
[14:52] <daftykins> a chap over in -discuss was telling me of a showstopper upgrade bug that was pretty nasty sounding, late last night
[14:52] <daftykins> proper 11th hour fix
[15:23] <davmor2> daftykins: if you only knew
[15:23] <daftykins> ?
[15:25] <davmor2> daftykins: there were 17 issues with upgrades and those are just the ones we knew about with a default set of apps
[15:25] <daftykins> :)
[15:26] <daftykins> so what's the deal, do folk on a 15.04 install have to be fully up to date before they move?
[15:27] <davmor2> daftykins: the upgrade tool will only allow you to update the current system if it is out of date once it is up to date and you reboot if needed it will then dist-upgrade
[15:27] <davmor2> daftykins: been like that for a while
[15:28] <daftykins> ah ok, i'm only curious for folk coming into #ubuntu - i don't believe in upgrades personally
[15:41] <zmoylan-pi> dos 2.0 is good enough for everyone :-)
[16:37] <SuperEngineer> Anyone investigated the price of a 15.10 t-shirt via the omgubuntu link on twitter... thought I'd order one [nice design etc.] total billing cost in UK=£17.70 hurumph!
[16:38] <davmor2> SuperEngineer: yeah the p&p is a wonder from them
[16:38] <zmoylan-pi> for that price it would have to include popey sweat... :-)
[16:39] <SuperEngineer> zmoylan-pi, are you trying to tell me that it doesn't? I assumed it did!
[16:39]  * SuperEngineer cancels order... reason: no popey sweat ;-)
[16:40] <SuperEngineer> ...& declares Linux Outlast status!
[16:41] <SuperEngineer> *Outlaw even ;-)
[16:43] <SuperEngineer> Dear OMG Ubuntu shop ... annoy again & I will send the boys round
[16:43] <zmoylan-pi> disguised as penguins... they'll just think it's a delivery gone rogue...
[16:43] <SuperEngineer> [sorry, sexist threat there... I will send gender determinate & indeterminate in one big giggling assault[
[16:47] <SuperEngineer> And if that fails I will send the Chinese leader [he's finished with UK Queen & now free to visit you in orfder to bamboozle you into saying yes to any jike he wants you to believe[
[16:47]  * SuperEngineer slaps wrist for polital comment
[16:47] <SuperEngineer> *polical
[16:47] <SuperEngineer> ;-)
[16:50] <SuperEngineer> A baby born three months early was kept warm by doctors with the help of a supermarket sandwich bag, her mother reveals - What did she reveal?!
[16:51] <SuperEngineer> ...bet it wasn't the true cost of a 15.10 t-shirt via OMGU ;-)
[16:51] <zmoylan-pi> they were all out of bags for life...
[16:52] <daftykins> i hear the UK has finally caught up with the channel islands and now forces the payment of 5p per shopping bag!
[16:52] <zmoylan-pi> and now people just take bastkets home with them from supermarket
[16:53]  * popey gets shopping delivered unlike the barbarians who actually _go_ to the shops
[16:54] <zmoylan-pi> i like to pick my shopping that hasn't beed prefondled... too much...
[16:54] <zmoylan-pi> *been
[16:56]  * SuperEngineer fondles zmoylan-pi's evening meal by remote IOT food fondling device
[16:57] <zmoylan-pi> it still wouldn't be as shocking as what i saw today...
[16:57] <SuperEngineer> we await...
[16:57] <zmoylan-pi> i saw a nokia with broken screen today, my world is shaken...
[16:58] <daftykins> !
[16:58] <zmoylan-pi> mate had it in their pocket and ran accidently into a skip... the screen hit the corner and took the full imapct...  https://twitter.com/angryearthling/status/657206146030280704/photo/1
[16:58] <SuperEngineer> sobbing in sympathy
[16:58] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: yeah but it had been blasted through the sun to see if it would melt
[16:59] <zmoylan-pi> and am now finding no one in dublin repairs nokias... as they thought the cockroaches would have taken over from asteroid strike before one was broken...
[16:59] <SuperEngineer> davmor2, so was butter... they never did get those results back ;-)
[17:06] <SuperEngineer> Anybody here got a Vauxhall Zafira?
[17:06] <SuperEngineer> Should have written that in CAPS to beat the sound of the fire engine 2-tones ;)
[17:07] <zmoylan-pi> you'll have a devil of a time installing linux on that SuperEngineer :-)
[17:08] <SuperEngineer> :-D
[17:24] <zleap> is there a software keyboard in ubuntu, wildca4d in #dcglug is asking if anyone can help,  thanks
[17:27] <SuperEngineer> zleap, https://askubuntu.com/questions/455336/on-screen-keyboard-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts any help?
[17:27] <samfreenode> How do I upgrade?
[17:28] <SuperEngineer> samfreenode, what model of robot are you currently?
[17:28] <zmoylan-pi> one with pains in his diodes all down the left side...
[17:28] <SuperEngineer> nice one!
[17:29] <SuperEngineer> gives me a headache just talking down to their level ;-)
[17:33] <SuperEngineer> ...and life?, don't talk to me about life....
[17:33]  * zmoylan-pi wonders how you upgrade an electronic sausage...
[17:33] <SuperEngineer> ah, that's easy...
[17:34] <davmor2> samfreenode: what version of ubuntu you on currently
[17:34] <samfreenode> davmor2, 15.04
[17:35] <davmor2> samfreenode: open update manager that should update your current system first if needed and then offer you the upgrade if you reopen it
[17:36] <SuperEngineer> shouldn't a non-lts tell you when new version is available?
[17:36] <davmor2> SuperEngineer: lts version tell you when the next lts is delivered too
[17:36] <SuperEngineer> davmor2, YOU BEAT ME TO IT - & WITH A MUCH BETTER ANSWER
[17:53] <SuperEngineer> I was asked by somebody [after just speaking to her colleague, her boss & my boss on phone ] how I managed to have 3 different conversations with 3 different people.
[17:54] <SuperEngineer> ...  "Simples, I also use IRC"... but I find multi-conversations  so rude, don't you?"
[17:54] <SuperEngineer> Made a friend for life.
[18:19] <riyasmp> guys. thanks for help in advance. I m using ubuntu 14.04 LTS on samsung RV520 laptop. recently with a kernal upgrade it has sarted making a squeaky sound when on battery power along with annoying flickering of the screen. sounds and flickering goes away completly when pluged in to AC power. googling did not help much. can any one give any kind of guidance to sort this. thanks
[18:20] <daftykins> did it go away booting an older kernel?
[18:23] <riyasmp> daftykins, I havent tried that yet. do u recommend trying that first?
[18:24] <daftykins> well it'd prove if the upgrade really did cause it
[18:25] <riyasmp> daftykins, mine was a fresh 14.04 install and did not have a problem up untill recently
[18:26] <daftykins> yeah, kernel updates come along - so hold left shift as the disk is about to be read on boot and pick an older kernel from advanced
[18:27] <riyasmp> daftykins, okay if that sorts out the issue what could be the next step?
[18:27] <daftykins> cross that bridge once you come to it
[18:27] <daftykins> isolating which kernel, if at all, adds this noise is #1
[18:28] <riyasmp> daftykins, ok..i will check that and will be back. tx for the help
[19:41] <diddledan> morning
[19:56] <daftykins> allo
[20:00] <MooDoo> :)
[20:39] <diddledan> so I fiddled with my gfx settings on windows - switched the digital output to use 12 bits colour instead of the default 8 - much improvement on realism
[20:51] <webpigeon> colour, now with more bits (tm)
[21:58] <daftykins> diddledan: dun...dun...dun... two dead disks from the same guy :)
[22:37] <MooDoo> :)
