| zleap | Are there any instructions on using ubuntu server for a NAS box ? | 14:14 |
| zleap | i think i found something http://askubuntu.com/questions/1266/how-to-set-up-ubuntu-server-as-a-nas | 14:16 |
| Renfried | for some reason, when I try and watch ITVplayer in firefox it wont start playing the video, but works on chrome. Anyone else have that issue? | 16:50 |
| m0nkey_ | Probably like Netflix, ITV probably has some DRM which Chrome supports. | 16:55 |
| Renfried | maybe, doesnt give an error though like netflix does. It buffers like it is going to start, just never does | 16:56 |
| Renfried | interesting, i just got a few crash messages from firefox after i tried itvplayer saying a plug in crashed, even though i dont have firefox anymore, and closed it down manually | 17:02 |

| Nokaji | Hi, I've got a canon printer newly installed, (not rebooted yet), it does not display ink levels (but I can send files to be printed). Should I install the poorly rated 'Mtink' (primarily for Epson) or is there a Plan 'B'? | 19:57 |
| Nokaji | Canon PIXMA MX925 | 19:58 |
| Nokaji | (920 series) | 19:58 |
| directhex | general case: canon are poorly supported. *anything* working without paying for a proprietary driver is a huge stroke of luck | 19:59 |
| Nokaji | directhex: canon supplies linux drivers for print and scan, I'm aprehensive about installing them without doing so via ubuntu software centre etc | 20:16 |
| MartijnVdS | Nokaji: canon's linux drivers aren't the best quality | 20:16 |
| MartijnVdS | they're some of the worst | 20:17 |
| Nokaji | hmh, doesn't sound encouraging. Luckily i can at least achieve the basics such as printing from libreoffice with it | 20:18 |
| Nokaji | I thought if it supported CUPS then you were at least half-way home? | 20:18 |
| penguin42 | if it prints that's way more than half-way :-) | 20:18 |
| Nokaji | well it printed without me having to do a thing, other than plug the leads in | 20:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | maybe there's a way to make the printer on it's todd to print a printer status page which will tell you how much ink is left... | 20:19 |
| Nokaji | zmoylan-pi: Yes there is, it has a neat graphical display | 20:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | and hopefully doesn't use a lot of ink doing it | 20:20 |
| Nokaji | rumlur has it it won;t work with compatible cartridges though, which i shall revert to | 20:20 |
| directhex | i once told a canon rep that we would have to be smoking crack, as a department, to accept their printer drivers | 20:20 |
| Nokaji | rumour* | 20:20 |
| directhex | this was for a £10k departmental printer | 20:20 |
| Nokaji | ink price is good for compatible - $5 for a set of five inks | 20:20 |
| tripleclones | we were recently told by a canon rep that a number of HP printers these days are re-branded canon devices | 20:21 |
| tripleclones | we still didn't go with them | 20:21 |
| directhex | not actually true | 20:21 |
| directhex | just an attempt to get a sale | 20:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | salesmen lie through their teeth to make sale | 20:22 |
| directhex | the canon drivers for this room-sized thing were... the quality you would expect for an intern's first project | 20:22 |
| Nokaji | so what about MTLINK? - should I try it out at least? | 20:22 |
| directhex | e.g. i386/2.2-kernel-only | 20:22 |
| zmoylan-pi | one of my proudest moments was making a printout go twice as fast for a fraction of the price quoted by salesman who was trying to get foot in the door of one of our customers | 20:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | oooooh, fireworks outside.... | 20:24 |
| ali1234 | better than fireworks inside | 20:45 |
| * zmoylan-pi sets screensaver to fireworks.... :-) | 20:47 | |
