| mapps | hi all | 06:38 |
| MooDoo | morning | 07:58 |
| knightwise | ²morning peeps | 08:29 |
| MooDoo | morning | 08:32 |
| popey | ²morning | 08:49 |
| MooDoo | popey: shame about the brick :( I did that to my asus router | 09:04 |
| popey | yeah, annoying | 09:04 |
| popey | probably fixable, just irritating as I don't have time for this bs | 09:04 |
| davmor2 | popey: what happened dude | 09:04 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 09:04 |
| MooDoo | morning davmor2 | 09:05 |
| MooDoo | I've just had a new virgin media router, so just using that for now... | 09:05 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: has it not broken yet? | 09:06 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: no it's the superhub 2ac, it's pretty stable at the moment, it's nice having 2.5 and 5 ghz wireless :) | 09:07 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: had that for an age killed the first one they sent a second it never arrived sent a 3rd and the second arrived at that point I switched it from router to modem only and used my own tp-link with open-wrt and never looked back :) | 09:09 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: yeah i had that setup myself, but as the router is in the kids room, decided I didn't want lots of boxes/cables in their to fiddle with and aint paying £100 to get VM to move the box downstairs into the living room | 09:11 |
| MooDoo | *there | 09:11 |
| popey | davmor2, i needed to update dd-wrt because my install was old and buggy | 09:20 |
| popey | downloaded the flash update and uploaded it to my router, now it wont boot | 09:20 |
| davmor2 | popey: ouch that's not fun | 09:21 |
| davmor2 | popey: does the router have a reset button (read up first but, but see if that will save you) | 09:22 |
| popey | yeah | 09:22 |
| popey | it has a whole process for resetting | 09:22 |
| popey | didn't work | 09:22 |
| popey | need to look more into it when i have time | 09:22 |
| * davmor2 hope you can get it sorted | 09:23 | |
| popey | yeah | 09:24 |
| popey | had to switch wifi back on, on my vm "super" hub | 09:24 |
| davmor2 | popey: how you finding it | 09:27 |
| popey | only been like that for 10 hours | 09:30 |
| popey | will let you know later | 09:30 |
| popey | or not if I replace dd-wrt with openwrt | 09:30 |
| davmor2 | popey: openwrt is a learning curve over dd-wrt but it seems to work much better on my tp-link than dd-wrt was | 09:34 |
| popey | yeah, i have two netgears, one has dd-wrt and the other has openwrt | 09:38 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Tuesday, and happy Hedgehog Day! 😃 | 09:43 |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| davmor2 | JamesTait: nothing says hedgehog like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-DPi9UIFTo | 09:48 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, I give you https://youtu.be/rZEnWhefCZI | 09:51 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: not as good as narwhals | 09:56 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, but more hedgehogy. | 09:59 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: not as good as narwhals or the badger song | 09:59 |
| JamesTait | The badger song came to mind first, but I figured there must be an actual hedgehog one. | 10:00 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: doesn't say hedgehog as many times as mine though :P | 10:00 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: I have in the back of my head that there is a song that had hedgehogs in it from the 80's I have a feeling though it might of been like part of the wombles song or something crazy like that | 10:02 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 10:10 |
| diplo | davmor2: http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/song-midis/Hedgehog_Song.htm | 10:36 |
| diplo | :P | 10:36 |
| diplo | How does something like that stay on the internet :D | 10:37 |
| diplo | Supposedly from discworld ? | 10:37 |
| awilkins | Yeah | 10:38 |
| awilkins | It's hinted at in the books | 10:38 |
| awilkins | Only snatches of lyrics | 10:38 |
| awilkins | But I think PTerry fans got together on the newsgroups and made these up | 10:38 |
| diplo | I've tried reading 2 of his books, failed both so far :/ | 10:38 |
| awilkins | Which ones? | 10:38 |
| awilkins | His earlier work is not as good | 10:38 |
| awilkins | Starts getting good around book 4 | 10:39 |
| diplo | First discworld one and something else that I can remember that I was recommended | 10:39 |
| diplo | Ah right, so persistence is key | 10:39 |
| awilkins | You can really see the improvement | 10:39 |
| diplo | I read 2-3 books a week and some are *REALLY* bad | 10:39 |
| diplo | Will try again | 10:39 |
| awilkins | They get as good as actually genuinely evoking tears | 10:39 |
| awilkins | The first two Discworld ones have some real continuity problems and lots of errors in the printings I have | 10:40 |
| diplo | OK, do I *need* to start one #1 ? | 10:40 |
| awilkins | Not really | 10:40 |
| awilkins | It may help to set the scene and the tone, but he does a good job of re-setting the scene in each Discworld novel | 10:40 |
| awilkins | You may miss a few in-jokes | 10:41 |
| awilkins | A lot of people love Rincewind but he's a bit of a one-joke character | 10:41 |
| diplo | If I remember correctly, I got to a bit in a bar where they meet someone to trade, or they've walked to a hill and someone attacks them ( been a good year or more since I tried! ) | 10:41 |
| awilkins | You can tell that PTerry transferred his affections to Vimes as his big favourite | 10:42 |
| awilkins | The first two read more like a collection of short stories in retrospect | 10:43 |
| awilkins | Equal Rites, #3, introduces one of his more beloved characters, Granny Weatherwax, who gets fleshed out a LOT more later | 10:43 |
| awilkins | #4 : Mort, for me is where it really starts to get good | 10:44 |
| awilkins | Reaper Man (the next big DEATH one) is wonderful | 10:44 |
| diplo | I've got a few of them in epub, will chuck them on the kindle and have a go | 10:49 |
| diplo | I read mainly espionage/crime stuff, but have read a few scifi type books. The halo books were suprisingly ok :) | 10:50 |
| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 10:55 |
| bigcalm | !ping | 10:55 |
| lubotu3` | pong! | 10:55 |
| Myrtti | morning bigcalm | 10:55 |

| diplo | Morning bittin- | 10:57 |
| bigcalm | Aha, a better server | 10:57 |
| bigcalm | !sing | 10:57 |
| bigcalm | The server I was on was sending my data but not returning data from other servers | 10:57 |
| bigcalm | You could see me talking but I didn't see your responses until many hours later | 10:58 |
| diplo | :P | 11:14 |
| diplo | Oops, supposed to have said morning bigcalm :D I really can't multitask | 11:15 |
| davmor2 | morning bigcalm how's life over your way? | 11:18 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: The Shrewsbury office was shaking in the wind yesterday. Today I'm at home and feeling less shook up | 11:20 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: keeping your sanity? | 11:21 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: Sanity that rings a bell, isn't that something normals have? I'm having fun though Honest, just ignore the tic it goes away in the end ;) | 11:23 |

| awilkins | Which is a PITA because it has all my links & bookmarks & passwords & stuff | 13:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | they do seem intent on making people switch | 13:09 |
| awilkins | It keeps doing this thing where it doesn't repaint the display | 13:10 |
| awilkins | You can flip tabs and the title changes, but nothing repaints | 13:10 |
| awilkins | I dunno, maybe it's a GPU bug or something | 13:10 |
| popey | sounds like a gpu acceleration issue | 13:10 |
| awilkins | WebGL is off. | 13:11 |
| awilkins | so... meh | 13:11 |
| awilkins | I'm on the latest nvidia binaries | 13:11 |
| awilkins | Maybe if I turn webgl ON | 13:11 |
| awilkins | Or is that nothing to do with the main painting loop? | 13:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | i have had very busy pages updating in the background slow the page in front been redrawn | 13:15 |
| awilkins | Yeah, I think that may be what's happening | 13:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | with tweetdeck i sometimes have to kill the tab | 13:16 |

| diddledan | I've got a weird BT broadbent problem - dad and I both have infinity in our respective homes. when I'm over his I can use DNS via his HomeHub to retreive an address which points to a 10.0.0.0/24 address (in public dns) but doing the same at home I can't get the DNS system to give me the 10.0.0.0/24 response | 15:17 |
| diddledan | e.g. from home `dig +short vpn.vpn.bangdynamics.com`: no response. using google's dns `dig +short vpn.vpn.bangdynamics.com @8.8.8.8` reponse: 10.0.0.1 | 15:19 |
| diddledan | at dad's I get the correct 10.0.0.1 reply from BT DNS | 15:20 |
| m0nkey_ | reboot your router | 15:23 |
| diddledan | we both have HomeHub 5 routers, so it's not a difference in hardware | 15:23 |

| diddledan | in freenode I would imagine it to be low, due to the techy nature of the audience | 15:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | offset by ocd nature and curiousity of same... :-) | 15:40 |

| sve | hey | 17:26 |
| sve | can i switch between a 2 bit install and a amd compatible one? via the usb install option? | 17:28 |
| davmor2 | sve: not with ease, might be easier to back up any files you want and then do a fresh flash | 17:31 |
| davmor2 | install even | 17:31 |
| sve | davmor2: im doing a sideby side install so i can resize partitions after tranfering the files to the new partition | 17:32 |
| sve | im using a USB i created with ubootin and im not getting any feedback from the install dialog | 17:35 |
| MooDoo | howcy | 17:55 |
| daftykins | o/ | 18:04 |
| === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD | ||
| \sv | ok so i decided to go fror a fresh install. where to get the Hexchat config file from? | 18:16 |
| daftykins | "the hexchat config" being what? | 18:18 |
| daftykins | your existing one? | 18:18 |
| daftykins | .config/hexchat/ probably | 18:18 |
| \sv | ~/.config/hexchat apparenty (after googleing) how to copy this to my external hdd? | 18:19 |
| daftykins | are you using a non-GUI boot at the moment or something? | 18:20 |
| daftykins | as i find it a bit puzzling how a copy would be a challenge | 18:20 |
| daftykins | pressing ctrl+h would show hidden files in the GUI file manager nautilus, allowing you to copy+paste graphically by visiting the .config folder | 18:21 |
| \sv | gui | 18:22 |
| daftykins | as above then | 18:23 |
| \sv | ok thanks, hopfully i can just transfer those into the new install of hexchat | 18:24 |
| daftykins | 100% definitely, although install the package first then place the folder | 18:24 |
| \sv | im optimistic. this is ubuntu. so.... wish me well | 18:25 |
| \sv | lo | 18:25 |
| \sv | lol | 18:25 |
| daftykins | doesn't matter the OS, they all have their quirks | 18:25 |
| \sv | i've copied the files from my homefolder into an archive and copied them accross to the xternalhdd | 18:26 |
| \sv | are there any other file or folders i aught to copy? | 18:26 |
| daftykins | for hexchat, no. | 18:26 |
| \sv | in general though? | 18:26 |
| daftykins | an app would not specifically store data in ~/.config/ and then use another path | 18:27 |
| daftykins | well you need to state what you want | 18:27 |
| daftykins | in general you'd just copy the entire /home/username for a backup | 18:27 |
| \sv | :) im switching between 32 bit and t'uver one i cant use a backup file to restore tings can i? | 18:28 |
| daftykins | backup of home, yes. | 18:29 |
| daftykins | take the whole thing now, worry about the details later | 18:29 |
| diddledan | daftykins: where ya been? | 18:30 |
| \sv | ok, i know you cant simply upgrade the whole thing and this keeps crashing so hence this fresh install :) | 18:30 |
| diddledan | daftykins: did you get lost in the sea? | 18:30 |
| \sv | diddledan, daftykins has off being awesome. where else whould they be? | 18:31 |
| daftykins | diddledan: hey :) having a break really, had some work to do before Spain then just felt like avoiding the stresses and unpleasant folk we get on here :) ( #ubuntu ) | 18:31 |
| daftykins | \sv: "has off" ? | 18:31 |
| diddledan | lol, fair enough :-) | 18:31 |
| \sv | daftykins, off round the world | 18:31 |
| daftykins | i don't think i'll hang around, quite enjoying being away :> | 18:32 |
| daftykins | \sv: where else what? please try phrasing a complete sentence and then maybe we can respond | 18:33 |
| daftykins | there would be nothing else to backup except /home/username/ as mentioned already | 18:33 |
| \sv | im making a copy of ./config just in case | 18:34 |
| daftykins | but that's a subfolder of /home/username/ ... | 18:35 |
| \sv | daftykins, i was saying you are awesome and youve been away from irc as you've been busy being awesome (we have met before) | 18:35 |
| daftykins | i'm saying grab the whole path ^_^ | 18:35 |
| daftykins | oic, hehe - thanks | 18:35 |
