mapps | hello all | 04:18 |
knightwise | Good moning ! | 06:11 |
Switches | Morning | 06:14 |
knightwise | Hey Swwwwwitcheeezzzz | 06:16 |
knightwise | how you doin today | 06:16 |
Switches | knightwise: Not to bad thanks, you? | 06:35 |
Switches | rofl wouldn't like to be "that" guy http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/richard-branson-caught-an-employee-sleeping-at-the-virgin-australia-office-and-snapped-a-hilarious-photo/ar-AAgPhzA?ocid=ob-fb-engb-52 | 06:41 |
knightwise | That is typical branson :) hilarious | 06:47 |
knightwise | Doin ok , playing around with the foscam i've installed at home | 06:47 |
knightwise | ip camera | 06:47 |
Switches | ahh cool | 06:48 |
knightwise | yep , gonna see if I can build some ifttt scripts to have the camera trigger the lights in the house when it detects motion | 06:50 |
Switches | knightwise: Building the "automated" house of the future ? :p | 06:52 |
knightwise | Thats kinda relative. I do have my hue lights go on and off automatically in the evening and in the morning | 06:53 |
Switches | :) | 06:54 |
Switches | I gotta say I don't get why people seem so surprised about MS releasing a FreeBSD OS for Azure.. | 06:54 |
knightwise | Ms is no longer about an OS , its about apps and services | 06:56 |
knightwise | they "get" that in order to succeed its no longer about building a walled garden | 06:57 |
Switches | I mean since Nadella took over as Ceo they have changed direction with OSS in general, The guy's an ex Sun Micro dude ofc he will want a "Unix" in there somewhere. Also being he was the "head" of the cloud computing arm of MS I gotta say I was expecting this to come a little sooner | 06:57 |
SuperMatt | morning | 07:55 |
Switches | Heya SuperMatt | 07:56 |
SuperMatt | g'day | 07:56 |

JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Friday, and happy Iced Tea Day! 😃 🍹 | 08:32 |
SuperMatt | oooh, no thanks to iced tea | 08:35 |
davmor2 | JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgt9UVXedGk | 08:36 |
davmor2 | SuperMatt: you use linux and play games you should be used to cold tea ;) | 08:37 |
popey | I had quite a bit of iced coffee when I was in Austin last month, very nice | 08:38 |
popey | not a fan of iced tea, no matter how much the Floridians tell me how great it is | 08:38 |
* JamesTait is not a fan of davmor2's iced tea. | 08:40 | |
JamesTait | I don't mind the drink, though. Quite refreshing. I usually make it with rooibos. | 08:40 |
Switches | iced tea is blasphemy! | 08:41 |
* Switches doesn't drink tea at all but that's not the point | 08:41 | |
* popey makes some Matê | 08:43 | |
Switches | lol | 08:43 |
davmor2 | JamesTait: nor am I it was on a spotify playlist and only stuck in my head for the iced-tea line however I could point you at Straight Outta Compton that's the only other musical Iced-T I know :D | 08:44 |
Switches | ... | 08:44 |
davmor2 | popey: oh oh oh have you actually had some now? | 08:44 |
popey | no | 08:44 |
popey | just about to | 08:44 |
Switches | I'll stick to me coffee :p | 08:45 |
* JamesTait is drinking coffee atm. | 08:45 | |
Switches | Coffee & Hobnobs for me :) | 08:47 |
Switches | Oh a new ubuntu podcast. Gives me something to listen to. | 08:47 |
brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:05 |
Switches | Morning brobostigon | 09:05 |
brobostigon | morning Switches | 09:06 |
knightwise | Good mornign brobostigon | 09:13 |
brobostigon | good morning knightwise | 09:16 |
popey | noooo | 10:04 |
popey | gourd has a hole | 10:04 |
zmoylan-pi | get it cheap when you bought a fake beard? :-P | 10:09 |
popey | hah | 10:12 |
sadlee | I installed Lubuntu in the UK and it's set to US keyboard layout. Is that a bug you | 10:41 |
sadlee | I asked in #lubuntu but it's empty | 10:42 |
davmor2 | popey: you let it dry out too long before using it | 10:43 |
sadlee | I just found setxkbmap -layout gb - does that make the change permanently or do I need something else? | 10:46 |
sadlee | Sorry Lubuntu has answered me. I wasn't patient enough, Apologies | 10:48 |
Switches | It should make the change permanent. The default always seems to be us | 10:48 |
Switches | US* | 10:48 |
Switches | Ahh good :) | 10:48 |
Switches | sadlee: Hope they fix it for you | 10:48 |
sadlee | The wonder of Google eh :) | 10:49 |
sadlee | I wish helpers online would mention whether changes are permanent though. I suppose it's obvious to seasoned cli users | 10:49 |
Switches | Sometimes you kinda forget tbh, its one of those details | 10:50 |
sadlee | I have noticed the word set in the command usually makes things permanent, but I guess that's just coincidence | 10:51 |
Switches | You're so focused on sorting the problem and finding out what caused it that a little detail like it being gone on next reboot doesn't come to mind until after you say "oh restart it" and they leave >.< | 10:51 |
sadlee | I could get used to the cli - it's kind of easier in an odd way | 10:51 |
Switches | cli isn't that bad, it can be a lifesaver (although nowadays its a lot less used than it was) | 10:52 |
sadlee | Apparently my fix is temporary btw, Lubuntu peeps just told me and as this is archived, I don't want to mislead anyone. That would be hypocitical :) | 10:54 |
Switches | Ahh well that's good to know | 10:54 |
sadlee | I'm looking at sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration | 10:55 |
sadlee | Do I dive in and take arisk it's right? | 10:56 |
Switches | Although I normally think of things with "xkb" to be permanent.. although saying that it was probably from around the time writing configs was done by hand >.> | 10:56 |
Switches | well that command will bring up the package manager to allow the change that should make it permanent for sure | 10:56 |
sadlee | I'll give it ago, cos the approved way seems to be to edit the keyboard file and I can't find it yet :) | 10:59 |
sadlee | I've also found L='us' && sudo sed -i 's/XKBLAYOUT=\"\w*"/XKBLAYOUT=\"'$L'\"/g' /etc/default/keyboard but that looks like gibberish to me :) | 11:00 |
Switches | Well that command (the dpkg-reconfigure) should change the file for you | 11:01 |
Switches | Well the command you pasted is just "pushing" layout changes to the file located at /etc/default/keyboard | 11:04 |
sadlee | It seemed to work though it asked me questions about interrupt keys that were a bit confusing. I just left them as the defaults | 11:04 |
Switches | If you wanna read up some more on what sed is and does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed that link explains it | 11:04 |
Switches | yeah the configure option if i remember right trys to find out if you have "extra" keys like the european keyboard layouts have | 11:05 |
sadlee | It's interesting stuff and it was probably quicker than using the GUI. Anyway it seems to be solved | 11:05 |
Switches | Great! :) | 11:06 |
foobarry | http://ruinmysearchhistory.com/ | 11:07 |
foobarry | ;) | 11:07 |
Switches | Why would I want to ruinmysearchhistory? If I've searched for something it's likely that I would want to find it again :p | 11:09 |
popey | thats funny | 11:09 |
Switches | Plus I use duckduckgo.. | 11:09 |
popey | hah, duckduckgo is the new arch/vegan | 11:10 |
Switches | lol | 11:10 |
foobarry | arch/vegan/brexit | 11:10 |
popey | http://brexitquiz.com/ is fun | 11:11 |
popey | i got 12/14.. oops | 11:11 |
foobarry | i voted without investigating it | 11:11 |
foobarry | i just decided we shouldn't be voting about it right now | 11:12 |
popey | why | 11:12 |
popey | because it interferes with euro 2016? :) | 11:12 |
foobarry | it was just to appease farage in the election | 11:12 |
foobarry | it shouldn't have been done | 11:12 |
foobarry | hence i voted to retain status quo | 11:13 |
popey | i see | 11:13 |
popey | he's so excited to be relevant | 11:13 |
foobarry | like donald fart | 11:13 |
popey | it's such a shame old people and people who live in small villages get to vote :) | 11:14 |
Switches | lol | 11:14 |
foobarry | aklthough young ppl like to rebel against generation+1 | 11:14 |
foobarry | whether reasonably or not | 11:14 |
popey | perhaps, but it's mostly gen+2 who are against IME | 11:14 |
foobarry | i still think brexit will not breach 34% | 11:14 |
popey | gen+1 seem okay, but maybe 75/25 split | 11:14 |
foobarry | yeah | 11:14 |
popey | only pro brexit stuff I see on fb are from people who actually don't live here anymore | 11:15 |
popey | one guy posted a rant, and then clearly got his arse handed to him, deleted the post and said he's quitting fb for a bit. | 11:16 |
Switches | So I guess you're voting to stay in then? :p | 11:16 |
popey | hehe | 11:17 |
popey | is it that obvious :) | 11:17 |
Switches | rofl just a little | 11:17 |
foobarry | i figure all the brexit ppl have already told me | 11:18 |
Switches | Tbh though I'm on the other side of it. | 11:18 |
foobarry | and everyone else is remain | 11:18 |
foobarry | they tell me every day on fb until i block them | 11:18 |
foobarry | and i've already voted | 11:19 |
Switches | lol | 11:19 |
foobarry | could i georgaphically locate devices in a house using rfid tags or other tech? | 11:31 |
foobarry | would need to be "dumb" tech to incorporate as a sticker/tags | 11:31 |
zmoylan-pi | isn't the range of rfid too short? | 11:31 |
foobarry | http://www.gizmag.com/sticknfind-finding-system/25238/ | 11:31 |
foobarry | allegedly no! | 11:31 |
zmoylan-pi | you'd have to transmit a lot of power to active it's transmitter? | 11:32 |
foobarry | ah, bluetooth | 11:33 |
zmoylan-pi | yeah, they use a battery and not transmitted power | 11:33 |
foobarry | sad face | 11:33 |
foobarry | rfid too short range? | 11:33 |
foobarry | new bt4 is low power though innit? | 11:33 |
zmoylan-pi | so you have to remember once a year to get all the devices you're tracking and change the battery | 11:33 |
zmoylan-pi | until they make a kinetic powered tracker it's a nice idea but a bit of a pain for most i suspect | 11:34 |
foobarry | they raise a $1m on indiegogog | 11:35 |
zmoylan-pi | i think there's trackr already doing what they are doing | 11:35 |
foobarry | bluetooth ? | 11:35 |
zmoylan-pi | yes https://www.thetrackr.com/tech-specs | 11:37 |
foobarry | reviews from ppl who got the product complained about quality. the transmitters dying or not working | 11:37 |
foobarry | RFID Tags - minimum read distance of over 1 meter or 3 feet. Gen2 tags can have a read range of up to 12 meters or 37 feet, however new generation of IC's plus antenna designs are now pushing this distance to over 15 meters! | 11:39 |
foobarry | active RFID looks better than bluetooth | 11:41 |
* zmoylan-pi remembers a bt snooping rifle that could snag a users phone information from a mile or two away... http://www.tomsguide.com/us/how-to-bluesniper-pt1,review-408.html | 11:41 | |
sadlee | Might not all these techs be bypassed by li-fi though as there are street lamps almost everywhere in the UK. There's on 30ft from me right now and I'm pretty rural | 11:42 |
zmoylan-pi | i thought li fi had gone nowhere and was losing out to bt and rfid | 11:43 |
foobarry | i'm just thinking about sticky tags that could be stuck on passport, remote controls, key fob, wallet to find them at home | 11:43 |
zmoylan-pi | perfect for the terrorist who wants a device to target a specific individual | 11:43 |
foobarry | yeah ,, or a homeowner with kids | 11:44 |
sadlee | There's a theory isn't there, that the democratisation of weapons will wipe out all civilisations | 11:44 |
zmoylan-pi | only takes one gobdaw with a doomsday device | 11:45 |
sadlee | It's a worryingly cogent argument too | 11:45 |
zmoylan-pi | in heinleins sci fi he pointed out that in an increasingly technologically dependent society anyone stopping their little part of the society can affect a massive part of the rest of it | 11:47 |
* sadlee has to catch a train, but will bookmark this channel | 11:47 | |

pandaadb | Hi - I was wondering if someone could support me in looking into random crashes with ubuntu 16.04. | 11:50 |
pandaadb | Sometimes the system will not start up, the keyboard does not react, I can't switch into a terminal and the only thing I can do is to hold down the power button and hard restart it | 11:50 |
pandaadb | Or I will lock the computer, and when trying to unlock it, nothing will respond, I don't get a password window, I can;t switch into the terminal etc | 11:51 |
pandaadb | I was wondering if there is a place where these crashes are stored/logged so I can at least google propable causes :) | 11:51 |
pandaadb | It is a fresh install of 16.04 on a dell precsission 5510 | 11:51 |
Switches | Best to ask in #ubuntu really, but to start you off everything the system does is normally logged in /var/log in a file called syslog (there may be more than one syslog file) | 11:54 |
pandaadb | thanks | 11:55 |
pandaadb | ubuntu is on freenode as well I assume? | 11:55 |
pandaadb | I was looking in syslog but either I don't know what to look for or there's nothing there | 11:55 |
Switches | yep, it's the main support channel | 11:55 |
pandaadb | okay great :) i'll ask there | 11:55 |
Switches | no problem :) hope they can help you out | 11:56 |

Myrtti | I don't get it. Shouldn't xenial be able to clean boot with apt-get clean? | 15:23 |
Myrtti | it just does nothing. | 15:23 |
Switches | Myrtti: What do you mean "clean boot"? the apt-get clean command just removes the package cache | 15:30 |
=== brmbrmca1 is now known as brmbrmcar | ||
Myrtti | I can't install upgrades because my /boot is full, and the dialogue suggests running apt-get clean to solve the issue? | 15:31 |
Myrtti | Switches: yeah, that's what I thought and found it a bit weird | 15:31 |
Switches | Try apt-get autoremove see if it can clear any of the initrds or older kernels? | 15:32 |
Myrtti | yeah, did absolutely nothing. Ended up doing what I always do and fire up synaptic | 15:52 |
popey | it says apt-get clean!? | 15:52 |
popey | that's just wrong | 15:52 |
popey | I mean, that's right if / is full | 15:52 |
popey | but not /boot | 15:53 |
Switches | Myrtti: You got it sorted then? | 15:55 |
Myrtti | yeah | 15:55 |
Switches | Good, good | 15:55 |

zmoylan-pi | shiny | 16:16 |
Laney | had to travel into town to get a new sim card though | 16:19 |
davmor2 | popey: sudo apt autoremove removes any old kernels from boot | 16:20 |
popey | (I know) | 16:20 |
popey | it didnt tell her to do that, it says apt-get clean | 16:20 |
popey | Laney: wot u got? | 16:20 |
Laney | s7 | 16:20 |
Laney | was going to wait for the oneplus 3 | 16:21 |
Laney | but then i dropped my phone on a concrete floor | 16:21 |
Laney | so that kind of accelerated the decision point | 16:21 |
Laney | 'always on screen' seems nice | 16:21 |
Laney | wonder if i can get the weather on there (or other things) | 16:21 |
popey | nice | 16:22 |

zmoylan-pi | if it makes you feel more working class i have a dumb nokia... and a cloth cap... well baseball cap... :-) | 16:24 |
Switches | rofl, Well I'm special... I have a Windows Phone! | 16:24 |
davmor2 | Switches: I think you forgot the "" marks around the SPECIAL there ;) | 16:25 |
Switches | lol | 16:25 |
zmoylan-pi | wow even my choice was smarter than his phone... :-P | 16:26 |
Switches | I guess it's good, haven't used Windows on my PC for over a decade, but still have it on the phone.. | 16:26 |
Laney | samsung's camera app has a feature to make my face look thinner | 16:26 |
