[06:24] hi all [10:14] morning boys and girls. === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [14:14] Are there any instructions on using ubuntu server for a NAS box ? [14:16] i think i found something http://askubuntu.com/questions/1266/how-to-set-up-ubuntu-server-as-a-nas [16:50] 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? [16:55] Probably like Netflix, ITV probably has some DRM which Chrome supports. [16:56] maybe, doesnt give an error though like netflix does. It buffers like it is going to start, just never does [17:02] 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 === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi [19:57] 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'? [19:58] Canon PIXMA MX925 [19:58] (920 series) [19:59] general case: canon are poorly supported. *anything* working without paying for a proprietary driver is a huge stroke of luck [20:16] 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] Nokaji: canon's linux drivers aren't the best quality [20:17] they're some of the worst [20:18] hmh, doesn't sound encouraging. Luckily i can at least achieve the basics such as printing from libreoffice with it [20:18] I thought if it supported CUPS then you were at least half-way home? [20:18] if it prints that's way more than half-way :-) [20:19] well it printed without me having to do a thing, other than plug the leads in [20:19] 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] zmoylan-pi: Yes there is, it has a neat graphical display [20:20] and hopefully doesn't use a lot of ink doing it [20:20] rumlur has it it won;t work with compatible cartridges though, which i shall revert to [20:20] i once told a canon rep that we would have to be smoking crack, as a department, to accept their printer drivers [20:20] rumour* [20:20] this was for a £10k departmental printer [20:20] ink price is good for compatible - $5 for a set of five inks [20:21] we were recently told by a canon rep that a number of HP printers these days are re-branded canon devices [20:21] we still didn't go with them [20:21] not actually true [20:21] just an attempt to get a sale [20:22] salesmen lie through their teeth to make sale [20:22] the canon drivers for this room-sized thing were... the quality you would expect for an intern's first project [20:22] so what about MTLINK? - should I try it out at least? [20:22] e.g. i386/2.2-kernel-only [20:24] 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] oooooh, fireworks outside.... [20:45] better than fireworks inside [20:47] * zmoylan-pi sets screensaver to fireworks.... :-) [20:48] ----~~~~* [20:49] oooooh === kittens is now known as Guest63610 [23:20] http://www.twitch.tv/twitchinstallsarchlinux :D [23:25] oh have they actually got it showing now, the first attempt didn't get off the ground [23:37] feed just died [23:38] chat is going ape [23:39] this is how you halloween! http://imgur.com/gallery/6Gv0ROk/new
