| <nrdb> MatthewV: no idea, I could do it I suppose, but I would need some help, (i.e. what exactly does put up that window). | |
| <MatthewV> nrdb, i don't know that one, but i imagine it shouldn't be too hard to find | |
| <MatthewV> it is gpl :) | |
| <nrdb> it would be :) | |
| <nrdb> MatthewV: I have never tried to contribute before, I don't know who to ask etc. | |
| <MatthewV> nrdb, well, writing a program like that would be only a first step if you wanted it included with ubuntu, then you (or someone else) would have to package it, do all that stuff with it, and then get a MOTU member to upload it... | |
| <nrdb> MatthewV: MOTU? | |
| <MatthewV> nrdb, Masters Of The Universe, they're the ppl that maintain the universe repository in ubuntu... | |
| <nrdb> MatthewV: ok I think I will do some more discussing of this on the via email | |
| <MatthewV> nrdb, you could always ask on the ubuntu-au list... | |
| <MatthewV> anyway, nrdb, i gtg, so I'll be gone for 6/7 hours :) so cya later | |
| <nrdb> MatthewV: I am a member, see ya | |
| <bimberi> !motu | |
| <ubotu> motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: fyi ^^^^ :) | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: thanks | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: np | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: did you see the conversation I had with MattewU ? | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: I have now :) I think your idea would be very useful indeed. There are a couple of existing packages that do similar things - sabayon and pessulus. Perhaps have a look at those. | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: they appear to do more than what I was thinking, I just want to be able to configure the program that puts up the button window when you press the power button or the shutdown icon on the desktop. | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: they might be very handy to use with a LTSP setup I am thinking of putting together. :) | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: yes that's right. | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: do you know what program is putting up that window? | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: I think with edubuntu at the moment, a user on a thin client can select Hibernate from that menu and it hibernates the LTSP server!! | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: no i don't sorry | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: hibernate the server, oh my god that would be a problem. | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: does edubuntu come with LTSP? | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: yes it does, that's its primary focus | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: good, I will down load it and see how it goes, is it otherwise simular to ubuntu? | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: yes it is. edubuntu = ubuntu + ltsp + a selection of educational apps | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: great. | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: note that it can do local sound but not local devices yet. Coming in edgy - October release. | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: don't need the education apps, I am testing this setup for a business, my boss wants to use some old computers that are gathering dust, hooked up to some new 3GHz ubuntu servers. | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: I wonder if there would be a calling for a bizubuntu ? :) | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: cool. sounds ideal, as long as the support for the floppy/usb on the thin clients isn't critical | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: i don't think you're alone in your thinking! :) | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: support for the floppy etc. isn't needed. makes it harder for employees to do something dangerous or steel databases etc. | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: indeed - and that's why it hasn't been a priority for edubuntu. But there have been posts on the edubuntu lists saying that it's a stopper for some places using edubuntu | |
| <bimberi> (in both school and business environments) | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: looks like what is needed for that is some sort of deamon that does floppy/usb over IP. | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/thinclient-local-devices | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: looks like the access to floppys etc isn't going to be long comming. I don't need it, I will look into downloading and installing edubuntu latter today. thanks for the tip :) | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: yvw :) | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: my main computer here can boot into about 8 different distros when I want it to. currently I have kubuntu, ubuntu, morphix and a few others, edubutu wont be a problem. | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: wow, too much fun being had methinks ;) | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: yep. | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: how long have you been working with ubuntu etc. | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: user since November 2004, active in the community since June 2005 | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: quite a while, I have only been using ubuntu etc. for a few months, I receintly converted my boss from WinXP to Linux, that was fun, I will be looking into the config. thing soon. | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: cool! | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: releases.ubuntu.com seems to be down | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: yes, i guess it's being hammered due to the 6.06.1 release :/ | |
| <nrdb> bimberi: didn't know there was a new 6.06 release | |
| <purserj> its basically a service pack | |
| <nrdb> got to go now, shopping etc. see ya. | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: later :) | |
| <bimberi> nrdb: http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/6.06.1/ is working | |
| <pschulz01> Anyone here done any graphics programming with mono? | |

| <Davo_Souvlaki> hi ppl | |
| <Davo_Souvlaki> anyone here using MythTV | |
| <Davo_Souvlaki> ? | |
| <JoshHendo> nope | |
| <Davo_Souvlaki> ok thanks anywat | |
| <Davo_Souvlaki> *way | |
| <xice> shenkii | |
| <quail> evening all | |
| <shenki> hi xice | |
| <shenki> i cant make the meeting tomorrow :( | |
| <xice> u get that wikipedia invite | |
| <xice> ah | |
| <shenki> ive got a SEP - software engineering and project - group meeting with the lecturer at 2 | |
| <shenki> well, from 2:10-2:35 | |
| <xice> The O-Bahn Busway (SA) is wikipedias featured article today. ..wtf | |
| <xice> oh the agm, shite | |
| <shenki> LOL | |
| <shenki> they must be getting desperate for articles... | |
| <xice> heh, not really | |
| <xice> just a big SA influence i assume | |
| <xice> its a fkn bus service, who cares | |
| <xice> i need to ask about your thailand trip, im thinking of doing the same at the end of this year | |
| <shenki> yeah? i highly reccomend it :) | |
| <shenki> look at booking it soon | |
| <xice> where exactly u go? | |
| <xice> i cant book, until i find out if i can get any Engineering work experience | |
| <shenki> started at bangkok, went west, then right up the top to the north | |
| <shenki> oh, spewin | |
| <xice> phuket? | |
| <shenki> nah | |
| <shenki> when i go back, i wanna go down south to phuket and stuff | |
| <xice> well, i read that i can live off US$25 a day | |
| <xice> i spend that in adelaide just on food ;p | |
| <shenki> lol | |
| <xice> how much was airfare? | |
| <shenki> yeah - payed AU$500ish for the tour, and that was accomidation, then each meal is about $4 for a main dish+beer | |
| <xice> i might not even bother with a tour | |
| <shenki> ummm about $1k plus tax...so around $1400 i think | |
| <xice> just cruise around | |
| <xice> phuket has good nightlife aparently | |
| * pschulz01 wonders whet the topic is.. | |
| <xice> pschulz01, travel of course | |
| <shenki> yeah...that'd be harder, because you'd need to know some of the language, and also everyone there is out to take advantage of tourists | |
| <xice> heh | |
| <xice> how long was the tour for? | |
| <shenki> and take advantage they do - i was fairly aware of how things worked, and we still got screwed over by about 200%-400% sometimes | |
| <shenki> 9 days | |
| <xice> many ladies? | |
| <shenki> if i was you, i'd do a tour, and then stay for a week or so afterwards | |
| <xice> my options are open so i assume that sounds the best way to go | |
| <shenki> the one i went on was average on the lady front - but ive got some mates who do mech eng who went on the same tour, a week later, and their group was full of 'skinny hot chicks', as my female friend described them | |
| <xice> did the tour move you around the country?, included in the charge? | |
| <shenki> yeah, included | |
| <xice> and many aussies/us/uks? | |
| <shenki> altho, theres lots of extra stuff you end up paying for...not that it was heaps. i mean, ym entire trip, includign souvineers, was about $2800 | |
| <shenki> and that wasn't going tightarse at all | |
| <xice> ok | |
| <xice> well, currently i have $0 | |
| <shenki> um, we had 6 aussies, 5 kiwis, 4 canadians | |
| <shenki> :P | |
| <xice> paying hecs off | |
| <shenki> oh, nice one | |
| <xice> 2800 inc airfare i assume | |
| <shenki> yeah | |
| <shenki> airfare was most of that | |
| <xice> yeh, 50% is a fair bit | |
| <xice> wonder if i can get centerlink whilst over there | |
| <shenki> probably | |
| <xice> lol | |
| <shenki> i woudlnt tell them you're going | |
| <xice> too easy | |
| <xice> $1 AU = 40baht right? | |
| <shenki> ahhh | |
| <shenki> depends | |
| <xice> obviously | |
| <xice> what did u pay? | |
| <shenki> i changed some over at the commonwealth bank here in adelaide, it was 25B | |
| <xice> 25shite | |
| <shenki> but when i changed it in bangkok, i got about 29 | |
| <xice> cheaper over there | |
| <xice> ok | |
| <xice> so say 30 | |
| <shenki> zuc got USD for 38 | |
| <xice> k | |
| <xice> did u go with her? | |
| <shenki> yeah - whenever i was calculating pricecs, i did it as 25B, which means you have more money at the end :) | |
| <shenki> yeah, i did | |
| <xice> ok and good | |
| <xice> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide | |
| <xice> worth going? | |
| <shenki> so yeah - only change enough for a taxiride over when you're here - about 200B max | |
| <shenki> and then change the rest over there | |
| <xice> im interested in the wikipedia meet,shenki? anyone else? | |
| <shenki> xice: if im free, why not | |
| <xice> exactlyt | |
| <quail> whats been happening all? | |
| <shenki> we'll, i'll let you know next week sometime - going to play some starcraft now, you keen? | |
| <shenki> hey quail, hows things? | |
| <xice> heh, sorry dont game in the week | |
| <shenki> ah, smart man :) | |
| <shenki> tty | |
| <shenki> l | |
| <quail> hey shenki, things not to bad | |
| <pschulz01> quail: Hello! | |
| <david__> hi ppl | |
| <quail> hi david__ | |
| <david__> quiet tonight | |
| <pschulz01> Does anyone know of any software packages for streaming audio? | |
| <david__> VLC? | |
| <quail> SHOUTcast | |
| <quail> ICEcast | |
| <pschulz01> Ahh.. 'apt-cache search streaming'.. | |
| <pschulz01> Yes.. those were the ones I was after.. | |
| <pschulz01> Anyone seen the news tonight.. | |
| <quail> about what | |
| <pschulz01> $2k available for people to convert to LPG. | |
| <quail> yeah i saw that | |
| <pschulz01> $1k if you buy a car with LPG already fitted. | |
| <quail> yeah | |
| <pschulz01> I'm guessing that it will have the same affect that the first home buyers grant.. car prices will go up. | |
| <quail> but i not converting my series one land rover to lpg | |
| <pschulz01> quail: I though to converting the Suzuki! (3 cyclinders!!!) | |
| <pschulz01> The car would then be worth $1900. | |
| <quail> my series one land rover gains value every day :-) | |
| <quail> my series one land rover was made in 1953 | |
| <pschulz01> :-) | |
| <pschulz01> quail: Does it have antenna mounts all over it? | |
| <quail> pschulz01: yeah it got a couple | |
| <xice> LPG is crap ;p | |
| <xice> Petroleum is the energy of the future ;p, plus cars just cant put out decent power on gas, | |
| <david__> wat does the Toyota Prius run on? i think its petrol and electricity | |
| <xice> david__, yes | |
| <xice> but of course im biased, being a petroleum and mechanical (automotive) engineer | |
| <david__> yes, that would help just a little bit | |
| <purserj> xice, so what in your opinion would be a good alternative fuel? | |
| <xice> nuclear fusion | |
| <Fujitsu> Or even fission. | |
| <xice> fission isnt viable as a portable source | |
| <david__> fission chips | |
| <adhoc> xice have you looked into liquid injection of LPG? | |
| <xice> never heard of it | |
| <adhoc> hmmm | |
| <xice> petrol injection ive heard of | |
| <xice> (use it in the wrc cars) | |
| <adhoc> there was a company many years ago that started playing with injection | |
| <Phlosten> hello all | |
| <Fujitsu> Hi, Phlosten. | |
| <adhoc> they were playing with LPG in carbureta and found it rather under par | |
| <xice> heh, wonder why i havent heard of them...went broke no? | |
| <xice> sounds stupidly complex | |
| <siccness> $2000 rebate from government for LPG conversions | |
| <siccness> Oh, already mentioned above, my bad. | |
| <adhoc> so they worked on using standard injectors and LPG | |
| <xice> LPG though normal injectors? | |
| <adhoc> xice: key thing is measuring the liquid temperature in the tank and calculating the pressure | |
| <adhoc> xice: for injector PWM etc | |
| <xice> i still have no problem with $1.4x for petrol | |
| <adhoc> they had a couple of motors where the injectors were close to the head | |
| <Phlosten> it should be $2000 to buy a bike ! | |
| <siccness> Government pays for my petrol | |
| <siccness> so i dont care if it's $40,000 | |
| <siccness> a litre | |
| <adhoc> siccness: you should | |
| <siccness> not really | |
| <purserj> xice, its not so much the price as the Peak Oil | |
| <siccness> anyone can use it | |
| <siccness> all my mates use it | |
| <Phlosten> government=tax payer=my tax | |
| <xice> heh | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| * xice is back to his %Bpetroleum%B assignment ;p | |
| <adhoc> pschulz01: you got your order for a SFD TShirt to lucychili ? | |
| <adhoc> pschulz01: pia would like for the SA SFD Team to get in a collective order | |
| <adhoc> xice: the bueatiful thing was the gass pressure in the tank meant you didn't need a crazy fuel pump, | |
| <xice> interesting idea | |
| <adhoc> xice: and you atomized the fuel as it hits the head around the valves to cool the head down | |
| <xice> crazy fuel pumps are great though | |
| <adhoc> xice: instead of heating the gas and puting that heat into the head again | |
| <Phlosten> crazy dave fuel pumps,..going cheeep! | |
| <adhoc> xice: it was a lot simpler | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: Yes.. but there might be more. When does lucychili want to close the order off? | |
| <xice> interesting, any articles on the net? | |
| <adhoc> pschulz01: i do not know, you need to talk to her direct like ;) | |
| <adhoc> pschulz01: she is penning an Email right now... | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: I've sent here an email... Have my list on a Google spreadsheet which I think she's seen. | |
| <siccness> i wonder if the gas conversion is tuned properly | |
| <Phlosten> i better update of SFD wiki page | |
| <siccness> or just done by some c grade mechanic | |
| <Phlosten> our | |
| <adhoc> siccness: the whole idea about using LPG injection is that you simplify everything in your ECU | |
| <adhoc> siccness: LPG conversions suck very badly as they don't take into account humidity or air temp | |
| <siccness> so what about the lpg cars that run 10s? | |
| <adhoc> i can't remeber if its open loop or closed loop where you sample the exhaust and adjust the fuel ratio ... | |
| <adhoc> siccness: you mean like drag racing? | |
| <david__> adhoc: wats this about SFD tshirts? i wanted to buy one | |
| <siccness> yea | |
| <siccness> http://home.iprimus.com.au/mikes_turbo_world/mywebpage/GAS747.htm | |
| <adhoc> david__: are you in South Australia and helping in the SFD north or south of Adeliade? | |
| <david__> oh SA | |
| <adhoc> david__: you can get them direct from the site ... | |
| <david__> im in Victoria | |
| <lucychili> pschulz01, ok ive just sent through a reply | |
| <adhoc> david__: surely there is a VicTeam? | |
| <lucychili> yell if thats not good for you all | |
| <siccness> I know this isn't a drag-racing situation for lpg conversions | |
| <lucychili> yes there is a vic team | |
| <david__> adhoc: yeah 2 i think | |
| <siccness> but surely a vl on gas doin 10s has to mean something | |
| <lucychili> donna and kylie are running an event | |
| <lucychili> david there is a website for ordering the shirts - ill look for the url but if you order them in a bulk order through your state team they are 15 instead of 20 | |
| <david__> oh i see | |
| <pschulz01> lucychili: cheers :-) .. sorry about the delay.. pizza preparation induced. | |
| <lucychili> no worries | |
| <lucychili> sounds yummy | |
| <adhoc> siccness: thats a nice plenum chanber on the side of that donk, notice the lenght of the inlet runners | |
| <lucychili> w h i t e w i t h o n e | |
| <adhoc> doh! | |
| * adhoc scarpers | |
| <lucychili> aetfopuc | |
| <siccness> Heheh | |
| <siccness> I'd be happy to own a stock VL Turbo | |
| <siccness> It'd just sit in the garage and come out sideways once a week heh | |
| <pschulz01> Janet.. I have paypal if people if people want to use that to get the money through. | |
| <adhoc> xice: what are you working on? | |
| <xice> homework as per normal (also previously made my wikipedia userpage more interesting) | |
| <adhoc> xice: whats 'homework' ? | |
| <xice> basically assignments, (engineering etc.) | |
| <adhoc> ok =) | |
| <adhoc> i've got crazy firefox crashing action =( | |
| <Phlosten> adhoc, wonderful new 1.5.0.6 goodness? | |
| <xice> lately i prefer opera | |
| <david__> 1.5.0.6 is out already? 15.0.5 only came out a few weeks ago | |
| <david__> have you tried Flock? its supposed to be a Web2.0 browser | |
| <david__> its mostly firefox really, just with a few extras thrown in | |
| <adhoc> ok | |
| <adhoc> i'm running 1.5.0.5 | |
| <adhoc> i wonder if there are amd64 issues =( | |
| <adhoc> did not have this issue before i *upgrdade* | |
| <Phlosten> i've had firefox issues since 1.5.0.5 | |
| <adhoc> upgraded even | |
| <Phlosten> and I have heard from a friend just tonight he is experiencing the same | |
| <david__> just keep 2 or more web browsers handy | |
| <adhoc> hmmm ... i just want one that works ;) | |
| <adhoc> i've done more than ten years of flakey dev web browesers... | |
| <adhoc> maybe i should have kept this box on breezy instead of moving to flakey | |
| <Fujitsu> Flakey Drake, or Flakey Eft? | |
| <xice> I used flock in alpha, its just firefox+a theme+a few plugins, fx plugins have bad support for flock also | |
| <adhoc> Fujitsu: yes | |
| <Fujitsu> Er, which? | |
| <adhoc> dapper | |
| <Fujitsu> Hmm... | |
| <Fujitsu> Have you considered filing a bug? | |
| <adhoc> i am considering reinstalling dapper | |
| <Fujitsu> That is a good thing to consider. | |
| <Fujitsu> On the other hand, I just installed edgy on here :) | |
| <adhoc> i'm not happy with the partition layout | |
| <adhoc> i will try to download a 6.06.1 again | |
| <adhoc> all attempts last week failed =( timed out, etc | |
| <Fujitsu> :( | |
| <Fujitsu> Hey, ajmitch. | |
| <david__> did u try the torrent? | |
| * adhoc doesn't do torrents | |
| <ajmitch> hello | |
| <adhoc> ah damn it | |
| * adhoc installs rtorrn | |
| * adhoc installs rtorrent and tries again | |
| <david__> torrents rule | |
| <adhoc> we shall see | |
| <adhoc> intuitive this app ain't | |
| <adhoc> appears to be working | |
| <xice> quail how do i get a hostmask like urs? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> dont you love finding missing hardware? just found my 2 remote controlls | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> xice, look at freenode home page, anonymous cloaks | |
| <xice> ty kk | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> np | |
| <quail> register nic with freenode and email addy and link you nice to a secound registered nic | |
| <quail> s/you/your | |
| <xice> nice? | |
| <quail> s/nice/nic | |
| <xice> heh | |
| <quail> search freenode for cloaking | |
| <quail> i done it ages ago | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser had it done to him, almost no effort required ;) | |
| * adhoc makes a working PoE cable for the WRT =) | |
| * adhoc is going to have to make another one and publish photos | |
| *** xice is now known as xice_ | |
| <adhoc> thats so much more convenient =) | |
| <xice_> /msg nickserv link xice nofatchicks | |
| <xice_> LOL | |
| *** xice_ is now known as xice | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: Does it just use the other twisted pairs? | |
| <quail> w00t look here >>> /msg nickserv info quail_linux | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> quail, er, why? | |
| <quail> oh just the info i get to see | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> heh. childsplay :P | |
| <adhoc> pschulz01: yes | |
| <adhoc> i have the DC 2.1mm plug on the AP end and the socket on the house end | |
| <adhoc> no PoE boxes, just the plugs and socket inline on the cable | |
| <adhoc> on end plugs into the switch and plug pack | |
| <adhoc> the other end into the power socket of the AP and its WAN port | |
| <adhoc> pschulz01: make sense? | |

| <quail> in the last week he has been a right royal little arsehole | |
| <quail> yes all parties | |
| <quail> i hope the door slaps him in the back on the way out | |
| <adhoc> now now ... | |
| <quail> hehe | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: Yes.. I have PoE setup to a wireless router, and a wireless antenna. Commertial. | |
| * adhoc has seen the photos | |
| <adhoc> your neighbours were worried about it? | |
| <quail> adhoc, it a long story which i not going to go into, but he bought lot trouble with him when moved in and is creating alot more here | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: Just had to cover up the flashing lights on the waveguide.. very 'michael knight'. | |
| <adhoc> quail: ok ok ... ubuntu ubuntu | |
| <adhoc> pschulz01: um ... like night rider? | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: Yeah. | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: green glowing things.. | |
| <adhoc> =) | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: Gaffer tape fixed that. | |
| * adhoc has that kinda glow in the study with the 'lights' out | |
| <adhoc> =) | |
| <pschulz01> AN the large green 'OK' QA sticker didn't help either.. looked a little like an eye. | |
