[08:00] <davmor2> Morning all
[08:15] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:20] <zmoylan-pi> shhhhhhh, if you stay very quiet and still, monday may not notice you are there....
[08:22] <brobostigon> :)
[08:22]  * brobostigon tip toes to get some coffee
[08:23] <zmoylan-pi> use a wooden spoon to stir.... :-P
[08:26] <brobostigon> that may make the job abit difficult.
[09:18] <ali1234> currently bamboozling three live chat support with leftfield questions
[09:18] <ali1234> lol
[09:22] <ali1234> http://i.imgur.com/noXKCHj.png
[09:27] <zmoylan-pi> they're just been a font of wisdom... :-P
[09:50] <ali1234> so they gave me a 1GB data booster that lasts 1 month, and told me to try registering again in a month
[09:51] <zmoylan-pi> you may only download 1 distro.... which distro will it be.... :-)
[09:51] <ali1234> actually they told me 48 hours, then 30 minutes
[09:54] <ali1234> but given that the registration page has been broken since last week...
[10:05] <foobarry> sad that i wasn't able to go oggcamp.
[10:06] <foobarry> maybe next year, if there is one
[10:06] <foobarry> however i am doing this today with my raspberry pi's http://imgur.com/a/xG0Fg
[10:12] <zmoylan-pi> do the lights dim when you fire up the 4 pi? :-)
[10:13] <foobarry> they are hanging off an anker USB station
[10:13] <foobarry> there's a magic command i need to run to see if they are under voltage hold on
[10:30] <foobarry> temperature jumped 10 degrees
[10:33] <ali1234> why tho
[10:33] <foobarry> why make a pi cluster?
[10:34] <zmoylan-pi> to feel the power...
[10:34] <zmoylan-pi> till the vax you ordered off ebay for 1p arrives in the post...
[10:35] <foobarry> for demonstration and teaching purposes. principles demonstrated on a small scale pi cluster are the same as on a 10,000 core cluster.
[10:35] <foobarry> its using the same job scheduler and submission scripts
[10:37] <ali1234> couldnt you achieve the same thing with some virtual machines?
[10:38] <foobarry> i have done that with vagrant but could only really do 1 master and 2 compute nodes
[10:38] <foobarry> until your machine gets sad.
[10:39] <foobarry> 10 raspberry pi's are also a lot more tangible when teaching/demonstrating
[10:39] <foobarry> submit a task and then point to which one is running your job
[10:39] <foobarry> or submit an mpi job across multi-nodes
[12:48] <qteyetrwrwgf> what mixer is the default in Ubuntu for pulse?
[12:48] <qteyetrwrwgf> name
[12:49] <qteyetrwrwgf> libmatemixer or pavucontrol?
[12:50] <qteyetrwrwgf> or any else?
[13:01] <qteyetrwrwgf> The same problem and what do i don't know. But alsa not see microphone. Widespread problem? Quiet sound of the microphone. http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php?topic=246985.0 on ru irc 7 people are "sleeping" or busy with something. Need more tests, how the microphone works not only with Raltek sound chip. U-mate 17.04 64. Maybe i should open a bug report on the Ubuntu website about it? I think may be time to create a bug report. 3 years
[13:01] <qteyetrwrwgf> is not short time. Sound Creative
[13:01] <qteyetrwrwgf> in Ubuntu-Mate libmatemixer0 default mixer
[13:03] <qteyetrwrwgf> on ru website this not i write
[13:03] <qteyetrwrwgf> U-mate 17.04 64
[13:12] <daftykins> go to the main #ubuntu for support
[13:45] <foobarry> tell them the name of your laptop
[13:46] <foobarry> alsamixer usualyl shows my stuff alothugh i have to tab along to find it
[13:57] <diddledan> just under 5 hours: https://www.android.com/eclipse/
[13:58] <daftykins> i'm watching that too :>
[14:09] <foobarry> is github suffering today?
[14:09] <foobarry> cannot connect
[14:09] <diddledan> I had a timeout earlier
[14:10] <foobarry> connecting to github.com...
[14:10] <daftykins> http://downdetector.com/status/github
[14:10] <diddledan> https://status.github.com/
[14:11] <daftykins> heh i see a colossal flop
[14:11] <foobarry> solar ellipsis
[15:31] <foobarry> host command not resolving stuff in /etc/hosts. any ideas?
[15:32] <foobarry> hmm maybe not supposed to. might be red herring
[15:33] <daftykins> check the priority in /etc/nsswitch.conf , reopen the term and check you got the two params the right way around in it?
[15:39] <foobarry> https://serverfault.com/questions/498500/why-does-the-host-command-not-resolve-entries-in-etc-hosts
[15:39] <foobarry> reckons i need getent hosts instead
[15:40] <foobarry> trying to solve a problem that occurred after a reboot :(
[15:41] <daftykins> come to think i've never used 'host'
[16:46] <arsenip> 'getent hosts xyz' will check as the system would, dictated by nsswitch
[17:34]  * diddledan nips arsenip's arse
[17:34] <diddledan> I love that nickname for punniness
[17:40] <diddledan> joe ressington discovered a weird thing in the loo at oggcamp (swearing ahead) : https://twitter.com/JoeRessington/status/899687318902026240
[17:42] <diddledan> daftykins: are you proud? I warned of the swearing and everything!
[17:43] <daftykins> good boy!
[17:44] <diddledan> and the sun was blocked by the moon today: https://twitter.com/make5calls/status/899688381612924930
[17:44] <daftykins> on the NASA livestream they keep emphasising that it's occuring over US soil... not quite sure why that's such a big deal to them
[17:46] <diddledan> of course you can't have a good eclipse without https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcOxhH8N3Bo
[17:47] <diddledan> it's important that it occurs over america because OMFGMURRICA!
[17:49] <diddledan> I still love this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsgWUq0fdKk
[18:39] <diddledan> google stream url: https://youtu.be/PiW2k-80Ruo
[18:40] <daftykins> insta-hide chat :>
[18:46] <daftykins> diddledan: oreo!
[18:46] <diddledan> and that wasn't a surprise much
[18:48] <daftykins> ikr
[18:48] <diddledan> my stream died :-(
[18:48] <daftykins> real surprise will be if they say 'available today' on all the old devices, or make us wait
[18:48] <daftykins> yeah same here
[18:49] <daftykins> did you see the statistic at all on the NASA livestream of the eclipse? :D
[18:49] <diddledan> nope
[18:50] <daftykins> "NASA traffic currently accounting for 87% of all federal internet traffic" XD
[18:50] <diddledan> wow
[18:51] <daftykins> anywho yip stream is broken and just repeating the last few seconds
[18:51] <daftykins> now it says it's over
[18:52] <daftykins> so that was it? :>
[18:55] <diddledan> apparently https://www.android.com/oreo is supposed to be up, but it 404s for me
[18:55] <diddledan> aah, there we go
[18:55] <diddledan> it's up now
[18:56] <daftykins> so it is
[19:00] <diddledan> omg, they've invented a hyperlink thing: API that allows you to share files across the Internet via web links.
[19:00] <diddledan> like totally next century
[19:00] <daftykins> *gasp*
[19:02] <diddledan> so.. there's absolutely nothing on that oreo page that says when or how it is available
[19:04] <daftykins> i'm currently going through the wikipedia article on Nougat to see what happened back then, but sounds like it'll be a slow trickle over the coming fortnight - unless you just jump on the developer preview now
[19:04] <daftykins> i usually factory reset for a new major release, to avoid quirks
[19:28] <daftykins> diddledan: "The company also confirmed that builds for Pixel and Nexus 5X / 6P have entered carrier testing, meaning over-the-air rollout should be happening “soon,” including updates for Nexus Player and Pixel C devices."
[21:42] <diddledan> I'm fixing yo turds: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786581
[21:43] <diddledan> wtfrak: https://twitter.com/VeraMBergen/status/899748757712982016
[21:43] <diddledan> insanity
[21:43] <daftykins> diddledan: they won't pay you!
[21:44] <daftykins> ;)
[22:04] <diddledan> now this is a perfect recreation of the solar eclipse: http://68.media.tumblr.com/f2cee8213bfb6bf568238025bb02704e/tumblr_ouy6jpztsH1sshj5wo1_500.gif
[22:05] <daftykins> uuuh, hrmmm
