penguin42hey daftykins12:28
daftykinshappy Sunday :)12:29
* penguin42 yaaaawwwwwnnnns12:29
daftykinsLiberation day tomorrow, another day off for island folk12:29
penguin42you seem to have chosen to have a national holiday on a potentially warm day12:30
zmoylan-pithe gods of bank holidays will not be pleased...12:30
tpeJersey or Guernsey?12:31
daftykinswell both got liberated on the same day ;)12:33
daftykinsas did the others!12:33
tpeI only know Jersey, my other half is from there and we regularly visit her parents. Only thing I've seen of Guernsey is the airport thanks to indirect flights. ;)12:36
daftykinsah you're missing out, Jersey is a boring 'little England' for the most part to my mind12:38
MartijnVdSwith better weather though :P12:39
MartijnVdSin my experience12:39
tpeAnd a playground for the rich. Seeing the rich/poor divide in such a small place is interesting.12:40
daftykinseh it's not really like that12:40
zmoylan-piwhere you have water you have yachts...12:40
daftykinsactually i suppose it is12:41
daftykinsit was quite amusing hearing Jeremy Vine on BBC Radio 2 getting very close to trying to claim that all channel islanders are rich and tax avoiding a bit ago, before our treasury minister called in and told him where to stick his rubbish12:41
tpeBeen meaning to visit Guernsey though, should spend a day or two there next time we're over.12:41
daftykins:D definitely warming up now!12:42
daftykinsthe killer humidity is what does it though, rolling around 80% right now i think12:42
daftykinst-shirt and shorts weather at only 14 deg C12:42
tpe22 here and sticky as hell.12:43
tpe22 is nothing without the damn humidity!12:43
zmoylan-pi16c and cloudy with a nice wind... http://wttr.in/dublin12:44
tpeThough I probably shouldn't have had that tea.12:44
daftykinswow it's like a browser and a ceefax/teletext machine had a baby!12:44
zmoylan-pii know, i think that's why i like it...12:44
daftykins:D12:44
zmoylan-piall its missing is thee blinking sun in the corner...12:45
penguin42wow - I like it!12:45
zmoylan-pijust replace the city with your own...12:45
daftykinsyep how'd i know picking me would error...12:46
daftykinsyay Guernsey works12:46
zmoylan-piit'd be a rare seaside town without a weather station12:48
daftykinsthey do ignore our capital it seems and have one up the airport instead12:49
* tpe puts his town in, gets some place in Australia12:49
zmoylan-piflippin colonies... :-)12:49
zmoylan-piwhat town name?12:49
tpeWivenhoe12:50
zmoylan-pithere's about 13 towns called dublin mostly in usa...12:50
daftykins:>12:50
daftykinsodd they all claim roots from elsewhere so strongly ;)12:50
zmoylan-pihttp://wttr.in/wivenhoe-uk12:51
penguin42zmoylan-pi: There are loads of Manchester's12:52
zmoylan-pinames do get recycled a fair bit12:53
tpeSeems the noon temp is more accurate than the top summary. Doesn't really feel 25 yet.12:54
daftykinsi'd visit the Guernsey in the US but it's in the middle of nowhere, so quite the spend just to take a snap with a sign :>12:54
zmoylan-pirent a telepresence bot and have it take a selfie with your pic on it's screen... :-)12:55
zmoylan-pithe other minimalist weather page i like is... http://isitraining.in/Dublin13:04
zmoylan-piperfect for a rasp pi project...13:05
penguin42haha13:05
brobostigonhow do i print the encryption details of a luks encrypted disk?14:06
* penguin42 isn't sure but I'd ask cryptsetup14:07
penguin42brobostigon: cryptsetup luksDump ?14:08
brobostigonlet me try that.14:09
brobostigonpenguin42: cryptsetup status <name> seemed to do the job.14:12
penguin42ah cool14:12
daftykinsi found - http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/101347/how-can-i-extract-the-hash-value-of-a-luks-device14:12
knightwiseafternoon everyone14:35
daftykins\o14:36
knightwisehave a wee issue with the new 1.04 install14:37
knightwise16.0414:37
brobostigonafternoon knightwise14:37
knightwisewhen i power down the laptop it doenst shut down :( just keeps running the ubuntu animation14:37
knightwiseafternoon brobostigon14:37
MartijnVdSdo you run "poweroff" or "halt"?14:38
penguin42knightwise: How long for ? I've seen it take a minute or two14:38
penguin42knightwise: I think it's a stuck process that something else is waiting for it to shutdown but I've not figured it out yet14:38
knightwiseindefinately , it doesnt shut down unless i press the powerbutton14:38
knightwise$14:38
knightwiseused to work fine on 14.0414:38
penguin42oh interesting, mine normally does it after a minute or two14:39
knightwisebut thats way too long for a laptop .. no ?14:40
penguin42yeh14:40
penguin42knightwise: I'm assuming it's some screwup either in a process shutting down or the dependencies between shutdown14:41
knightwisehmmm.. gonna look into it14:42
penguin42knightwise: I suspect turning on alt-sysrq, and dropping to a text console and using the alt-sysrq to get a backtrace of remaining processes at that point might help; but yes it's very annoying14:43
daftykinsquite the basic function to go wrong :(14:47
penguin42it's annoying when you want to unplug and go14:48
knightwiseadded a line to the grub config to force ACPI off , see if that works14:49
daftykins:S14:49
daftykinsthat's drastic14:49
daftykinssurely that'll trash any and all power management?14:50
knightwisefixed it !14:53
knightwisewell , it powers it down14:53
knightwiseI don't have a lot in terms of power manangement (hibernate doesnt work in ubuntu, remember)14:53
daftykinsi get the feeling you'd wave goodbye to battery with no ACPI?14:53
knightwiseelse14:59
knightwiseelse14:59
knightwisesorry14:59
daftykinsif if!14:59
daftykins:>14:59
knightwisequiet splash acpi=force14:59
knightwiseso with acpi=force I turn it off or force it on ,14:59
penguin42knightwise: Hmm interesting - I think there are two or three different ways of the kernel telling the host to power down - it might be possible to just flip between them14:59
MartijnVdSwhich kernel are you using?15:26
MartijnVdSthe 9350 needs a *very* recent one (4.5 or the 4.6 RCs)15:26
knightwiseMartijnVdS: 4.4.0.2218:01
sebsebsebbat last in here on this tablet. convergence19:27
popey:)19:28
zmoylan-piit's irc, i can get here with a dumbphone and a java app :-)19:28
sebsebsebbpopey, still messing around the O2G USB keyboard way a bit, even though had bluetooth keyboards a while now. ill look at those properly tommorow or something19:29
sebsebsebbzmoylan-pi, he h yeah, but19:29
* popey wonders when his bq m10 will arrive19:29
sebsebsebbzmoylan-pi, in the case of Ubuntu devices got to use the IRC client via phsyicall keyboards for now19:30
sebsebsebbpopey when did you order? you went for the FHD black one didn't you as well?19:30
sebsebsebbzmoylan-pi, that can take a bit of time to set up, plus using a UK USB keyboard but in a us layout on the software hmm19:31
sebsebsebbmeans some stuff is differnet19:31
popeyyes19:31
popeylast week19:31
sebsebsebbpopey  ok so soon I guess then, and you orderd the FHD black one?19:31
sebsebsebbpopey he h I wonder who actually has the HD white one, other than me, and some guy who did a video review on omgubuntu. I know most fan boys from that site went for the black FHD and that was that.  Ill probably buy a FHD at a much later date as well, but this white one is more than fine for now :)19:33
zmoylan-piare you not going to put the tablet in a case? is colour therefore not irrelevent?19:33
sebsebsebbpopey, also we need you to make more apps for Ubuntu touch h eh,  not web apps real apps. I have used one or two or so at least that you made. stallboard for example19:33
sebsebsebbzmoylan-pi, I got a black case with the tablet19:34
sebsebsebbzmoylan-pi, but when gonig to use it, got to take out of the case19:34
daftykinso019:34
sebsebsebbdaftykins moo19:35
daftykinstime to cut some holes :)19:35
zmoylan-pidepends on the type of case...19:35
sebsebsebbzmoylan-pi, well with the bq one it's what I said19:35
zmoylan-pii like the flip cover cases for tablets19:35
sebsebsebbzmoylan-pi, but having it in a tablet case that don't have to take it out to use could be more usful, if ti dops hmm19:35
sebsebsebbzmoylan-pi, also the two m10's isn't just colour, but some what I assuem are quite minor hardware differences to.  one is HD and the other is FHD, and the FHD has a bit of a better camera to, and I think that's it really or about19:36
zmoylan-piwhich when closed goes inside a slip cover... i take protection of hardware very seriously...19:36
sebsebsebbz19:37
sebsebsebbm19:37
sebsebsebbz19:37
sebsebsebbm19:37
sebsebsebbi19:37
sebsebsebbI broke a ipad air quite badly when the dogs distracted and19:37
sebsebsebbit fell on a tittled floor19:37
sebsebsebbdont want a similar fate for any of my other tablets :)19:37
zmoylan-pii once dropped a brand new psion 5 within a month of getting it... have been super paranoid ever since19:38
sebsebsebbthat was without any cover on or anything as well19:38
sebsebsebba guy from my LUG did a fix up job, but side has come off, he needs to look at that again19:38
sebsebsebbsie19:38
sebsebsebbd19:38
sebsebsebbside fell off when dr opped again since dog, but not by much etc.  but I supopsue it's just glue so19:39
sebsebsebboh what happended to the psion19:39
sebsebsebb519:39
sebsebsebb?19:39
sebsebsebbI19:39
sebsebsebbbro19:39
sebsebsebbI b19:39
sebsebsebbro19:39
popeyuhm19:39
sebsebsebbu19:39
popeyyou're getting a bit spammy :)19:39
sebsebsebb  uh xchat gnome sucks like this19:39
daftykinsi think it's your fingers, not the client ;)19:40
sebsebsebbyeah its since I am trying to use the tablet like thsi for IRC, which isn't19:40
sebsebsebbgo19:40
sebsebsebbi19:40
sebsebsebbgoing19:40
sebsebsebbas19:40
sebsebsebbt19:40
sebsebsebbha19:40
zmoylan-pii had it in really nice bag safe from elements but managed to pull it out and slip out of my hands and hit tiled floor in a supermarket killing the screen. replaced under warranty for small fee.19:40
sebsebsebbw19:40
sebsebsebbh19:40
sebsebsebbuh19:40
daftykinssebsebsebb: ok you're really annoying me now19:40
daftykinsignore o'clock!19:41
zmoylan-pishop that did the replacement told me he could have earned a good chunk of money selling it as the demand at the time was insane and accountants/architects were offering twice the price for them19:41
sebsebsebbok using xhat gnome the convergence way via o2g  usb for computer keyboard didn't go so well19:50
sebsebsebbback but trying web chat now19:50
sebsebsebbzmoylan-pi  nice story :d19:51
daftykinsperhaps hexchat is a bit wiser than xchat19:51
sebsebsebbI have broken two lap tops hardware wise in my life so far, and neither of them were mine19:51
sebsebsebbthe first one I got at school, and it wsn't under a insurance to I think, so they weren't happy19:52
sebsebsebbthe second one was a Sony Vaio and those are meant to be so great,  and over 10 years ago now.  but ended up doing whatgever to it and then one day it refused to power on so19:52
sebsebsebbI thought daftykins had put me on ignore I guess not then19:53
daftykinsthankfully you stopped by then19:53
sebsebsebbI think it was to do with the client as well, trying to do it via convergence19:53
sebsebsebbweb chat is working great right now in the Firefox on the tablet19:54
* sebsebsebb waits for popey to have a tablet and then potentialy f lood irc trying out the IRC client :d19:54
popeymight have a look at packaging hexchat for it19:54
sebsebsebbI have heard of hexchat, but not used it19:54
sebsebsebbor I think I have heard of hexchat19:55
sebsebsebbmy preferd IRC client so far has been konversation, but right can't just have that on the tablet I guess, since it's a KDE  program19:55
popeyit's possible19:57
popeywe can have a go19:57
zmoylan-piirssi on rasp pi, jmirc on dumbphone, quassel when i used windows, mac and linux desktop under one roof as it looked the same on all of them...19:57
sebsebsebbpopey: seems stuck with the default stuff still, unless using libertine?19:57
sebsebsebbapparnatly no need anymore to set the whole file system to read write mode so19:58
daftykinsnothing stopping you from installing KDE libs surely, just a bit wasteful19:58
sebsebsebbdaftykins: can't just apt-get whatever is wanted or pretty much, well not juset yet19:58
daftykinscan you not?19:59
daftykinsi have no idea what setup you're speaking of so *shrug*19:59
sebsebsebbdaftykins: on the tablet I meant19:59
sebsebsebbUbuntu Touch19:59
daftykinsah i see19:59
daftykinshadn't really considered that it isn't a normal system in a way :>20:00
sebsebsebbseems there's a way to like change the thing that has the default apps though, a bit of hacking hmm20:00
sebsebsebbdaftykins: it's not a normal ssytem exactly20:00
daftykinsyeah i got that20:01
daftykinswow that Canada fire, someone caught their house burning up over a security system on their phone it seems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTlGFsP4JeQ20:12
zmoylan-piisn't technology wonderful...20:13
daftykinsit's ok the smoke alarm is going!20:13
daftykinswow i just noticed the guy left his expensive DJI drone in the lower right20:14
zmoylan-piwouldn't fit in his go bag probably20:14
sebsebsebok back20:16
sebsebsebkiwi irc this tie to, and rotatin lock on tablet to that's better20:16
sebsebsebdaftykins: So yeah it's not a normal system ,but that's what makes it interseting, will use a lot of stuff from desktop ubuntu though really I guess20:17

daftykinszmoylan-pi: good news! http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/5/8/11635442/raspberry-pi-tube-amp20:45
zmoylan-pii saw that a few weeks back.  proper tubes in an amp.  so it should take a good 30 seconds to warm up... :-)20:46
zmoylan-piit'd remind me of the radio my parents got as a wedding present.  a beautiful philips tube radio. wonderful reception20:46
daftykinshow'd it sound? :)20:48
zmoylan-pipeople often talk about the warmth of the audio of tube radios and they're right20:49
zmoylan-pii do regret not taking the radio when i left home but it was huge20:51
zmoylan-pimind there was an article yesterday about someone blowing their own valves... home made valves...21:03
daftykins:D21:06
zmoylan-pia few 1000 of those and you could make a word processor... :-P21:07
daftykinsbut can it run Linux? ;)21:07
zmoylan-pithen you'll need 1337 valves of course21:08
zmoylan-pibut no systemd!! :-D21:09
zmoylan-pithat would require punch cards...21:10
zmoylan-pii always feel like punching something when systemd comes up...21:13
sebsebsebpopey thats better using one of my bluetooth keyboards now21:22
daftykinsthis is neat, my new motherboard has a headphone amp i believe... so the headphone jack on my case sounds quite good straight from the onboard audio!21:28
daftykinsauto switching :O21:29
popeythats novel21:29
popeynever seen a mobo with a preamp21:29
zmoylan-pieither that or it's an amp with serious cpu power... :-P21:29
daftykins300 ohm headphone amp21:30
daftykinshrmm21:30
zmoylan-pigreat you can listen to dave listers ohm song... :-D21:30
daftykinsbet it wouldn't work under Linux21:30
* daftykins whistles21:30
zmoylan-pisounds like a tube radio...21:31
popeyBED TIME FOR ALL21:34
daftykinsaww does that mean you're shuffling us out on the door step?21:34
* daftykins hopes it's not raining21:35
sebsebsebbacklit keyboard21:51
daftykinsi keep taking my new laptop up to bed and forgetting it has one, then suddenly going "AAAAH! *jab* huzzah i can see keys!"21:52
daftykinsthen the cat looks at me funny21:53
sebsebsebyour new keyboard oh?21:55
sebsebsebyour new keyboard oh>?21:55
daftykinsnew laptop21:56
daftykinshas a backlit keyboard21:57
sebsebseboh right I see21:57
sebsebsebwell I am finally trying out first time with ubuntu tablet this backlit bluetooth 3.0 keyboard i got the other week21:59
sebsebsebhow's yours in the dark? this one with it's 7 or so colours is okish I guess, but this is the first time I am using one as well21:59
daftykinsjust white on the Dell XPS13, with two different levels of brightness22:00
sebsebseboh you only get the colour white22:00
sebsebsebI got 7 or so colours yep, and two levels of brightness22:00
sebsebsebI guess the person who said here in IRC the other weekk that they are a bit of a gimmick is rigght really22:01
sebsebsebbut at least can see what's on the keys in the dark now, but not in a particulary nice way\22:02
daftykinsyeah i was almost thinking it's not so stupid after all on all these desktop keyboards now, as my officey room here isn't very well lit22:09
sebsebsebyeah can be in a room with not much light22:11
sebsebsebor you could be watching tv in the dark otherwise22:11
sebsebsebI think I am going to get bored  quite quickly of the 7 colours already am really, but it isn't really a toy anyway22:11
sebsebseband oh typing to you is working better like this,  than via the normal usb keyboard via a o2g device22:12
sebsebsebstill a bit slow to respond to my typing speed I think really, or is it hmm22:12
sebsebsebnot sure what some stuff is on the keyboard, but can also use it to adjust the tablet speaker volume so that's good :).  and oh this thing has nice speakers :) been listening to libre.fm :)22:13
