| <sheepeatingtaz> alas, all others are in bed :) | |
| <masterninja> im not dead im just in ubuntu-xgl | |
| <chaddy> glad you popped in, masterninja, you inspired me to get beryl/xgl running on my lappy | |
| <chaddy> tis teh prittie | |
| <masterninja> its not easy | |
| <chaddy> what sort of gfx card you got? | |
| <masterninja> i got the beryl-settings up and running but when i click stuff nothing changes | |
| <masterninja> geforce 440 mx | |
| <chaddy> nvidia is easier | |
| <masterninja> its on a crappier laptop | |
| <chaddy> at the login screen have you pressed f10 to select the right session? | |
| <masterninja> what it wont work if im logged in as masterninja? | |
| <chaddy> you need to log out and back in again in either an xgl or beryl session as opposed to gnome/kde/xfce | |
| <masterninja> oooh | |
| <masterninja> lol im turning everything to max just for a laugh | |
| <masterninja> it will be okay its not like im running a game or something | |
| <chaddy> you got it working, masterninja? | |
| <masterninja> wait i wanna turn everything to max then log into a beryl session i want to be massivly impressed on my first use of it | |
| <masterninja> at least before it crashes | |
| <masterninja> every box is being ticked wether i know what it does or not | |
| <chaddy> some of them might crash it... | |
| <masterninja> well i think i turned on enough lets see | |
| <masterninja> live or die im logging out 3 2 1.... GO | |
| <masterninja> looks ecactly the bloody same | |
| <masterninja> what a anti climax | |
| <binary2k2> masterninja: did you turn beryl on? | |
| <chaddy> can you spin the cube? | |
| <masterninja> how do you turn it on? | |
| <binary2k2> masterninja: run beryl-manager | |
| <masterninja> mabey i should cntrl+shift+backspace | |
| <masterninja> oi | |
| <masterninja> how do i make a beryl session | |
| <masterninja> somboday!!! | |
| <binary2k2> you using XGL? | |
| <masterninja> yes | |
| <binary2k2> did you follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl ? | |
| <masterninja> it says on the console: beryl: No composite extension | |
| <masterninja> when i make beryl my window manager | |
| <binary2k2> I think that means that you don't have XGL running, just normal X | |
| <masterninja> oh | |
| <masterninja> how do i run xgl then? | |
| <binary2k2> i think you need to edit kderc , it on the help site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl#head-11f417f3b6961f34f8e875eae29baa58da15d0a2 | |

| <dsas> time taken to create patch: 8 minutes, time taken to configure and run application: 1 hour to date | |
| * dsas bangs head against the desk | |
| <binary2k2> dsas: go play frozen-bullbe to calm down :p | |
| <dsas> hmm, the ubuntu package is much different from upsread | |
| <dsas> s/upstread/upstream | |
| <binary2k2> yeah, they work on them alot | |
| <dsas> binary2k2: Upstreams should have worked, however I kept getting errors about not being able to find m4 files, despite the fact they were there. | |
| <dsas> so I just got that to lie and always return true. the config script also had a bashim and pointed to /bin/sh. | |
| <dsas> and then it errored out on another syntax error which looked completley valid to me, but I may have been running it wrong. | |
| <dsas> the ubuntu one has a ./configure file already there \o/ | |
| <binary2k2> configure scripts are a god send :p | |
| <dsas> wohoo, my admittadly trivial patch worked | |
| * chaddy is stunned to read that PS3's are 40× more powerful than the PS2 which still delights and amazes me (when I stick GT4 on the Nürburgring, at any rate) | |
| <chaddy> wonder if we'll get Ubuntu on them any time soon | |
| <binary2k2> probably debian before ubuntu | |
| <chaddy> hmm, I've yet to have a leet enough evening to get Debian to work satisfactorily | |
| <chaddy> s/evening/month | |
| <binary2k2> no one gets debian to work well in one evening :p | |
| <chaddy> ;-) | |
| <binary2k2> takes months to work out all those kinks | |
| <dsas> I've got a linkstation NAS box I intend to put debian on. maybe over xmas | |
| <chaddy> I've found since I settled on Ubuntu (did my fair share of distro whoring, but always leaned toward Debian philosophically) I've learnt an awful lot more about *nix | |
| <chaddy> I wonder if I'm ready for another bash with the real deal... | |
| <dsas> chaddy: Why bother? | |
| <binary2k2> I have planed one day to do a LFS install, but I don't have a free year to do it :p | |
| <chaddy> indeed, there's still a world of Ubuntu to get to grips with | |
| *** chaddy__ is now known as chaddy | |
| <chaddy> are there any groups in the free culture movement that could use a BOINC project? having a notion about getting locoteams together in leagues... | |
| <binary2k2> none that i can think of right now | |
| <chaddy> competitive, community supercomputing sort of thing | |
| <chaddy> I can't think of any off-hand, either | |
| <chaddy> perhaps we need more mathematics majors | |

| <GazzaK> great chanserv message | |
| <tsmithe> ? | |
| <tsmithe> I didn't get a chanserv message | |

| <tsmithe> i didnt get that | |
| <GazzaK> it might have popped up on another auto joined channel tsmithe | |
| <tsmithe> ? i says ubuntu-uk | |
| <GazzaK> /cycle | |
| <tsmithe> ahah | |
| <GazzaK> did you get it? | |
| <tsmithe> yes | |
| <tsmithe> but not the first time | |
| <tsmithe> ... | |
| <tsmithe> wierd | |
| <GazzaK> mine was actually displayed on the #ubuntuforums channel window, since it takes a tiny while to get the message, and it gets sent to whatever is the "live" channel | |
| <tsmithe> ah - i got it in #ubuntu-trivia | |
| <GazzaK> well done on that quiz last night, you geek :-) | |
| <GazzaK> you were like a robot | |
| <tsmithe> lol | |
| * tsmithe is quiz king | |
| * tsmithe is also too competitive | |
| <GazzaK> yeah | |
| <GazzaK> it showed | |
| <GazzaK> :p | |
| <tsmithe> if it had had any programming questions, i would've failed, tho | |
| <GazzaK> i dont do programming either | |
| <tsmithe> i just dont get it | |
| <tsmithe> too adbstract | |
| * tsmithe is going to go learn python | |
| <tsmithe> what does a logo team actually do?? | |
| <tsmithe> *loco | |
| <GazzaK> goes chooo choooo | |
| <tsmithe> that's not funny | |
| <GazzaK> tis | |
| <tsmithe> tisnt | |
| <GazzaK> it's really funny | |
| * tsmithe was being serious | |
| * GazzaK wasn't | |
| <tsmithe> very, very, very serious | |
| * tsmithe thought GazzaK was | |
| <tsmithe> obviously | |
| <tsmithe> very obviously | |
| <GazzaK> seriously, I dunno apokryphos whats a loco team do? | |
| <tsmithe> cos i noticed there was a meeting for "approval" some fourteen days ago, and why does it need approving, and then what can it do? | |
| <GazzaK> I think that was the approval for the logo | |
| <tsmithe> logo? | |
| <GazzaK> since it needs canonical to approve it, since the Ubuntu logo is a trademark | |
| <apokryphos> Loco teams become a distribution's quasi-representatives in the respective area | |
| <apokryphos> they might organise events, deal with talks in the area, promote Ubuntu in the area, and other such things | |
| <tsmithe> and write press releases | |
| <tsmithe> according to the marketing team's new loco-press-release spec ;) | |

| <tsmithe> you don't need it | |
| <tsmithe> but if you want it | |
| <masterninja> well its not working | |
| <tsmithe> which instructions did you follow? | |
| <masterninja> the super offical ones | |

| <tsmithe> did you follow the instructions completely? | |
| <masterninja> um yes | |
| <tsmithe> and go to System->Preferences->Sessions | |
| <tsmithe> oops | |
| <tsmithe> wrong thing | |

| <chrismyers> I hope someone can help me. Anyone know how I go about running individual user logon scripts? I want to mount separate shares depending on who logs on. | |
| <binary2k2> ~/.bashrc or ~/.profille will let you do that | |
| <tsmithe> or the gnome session manager | |
| <binary2k2> yep, also you'd have to do a but of jiggery pokery in bashrc, to make sure not to try to mount twice if someone opens a term, but it's not hard | |
| <chrismyers> Cool... Just taking a look. Cheers | |
| <chrismyers> Did you mean .bash_profile? | |
| <binary2k2> afik both are used, but yeah, .bash_profile | |

| <anti-net_> anyone here able to give me some help with WINE? | |
| <chaddy> ask away | |
| <chaddy> which app are youtrying to run? | |
| <anti-net_> So I use an application for college called SMZ which is a simulator for running assembler programs, the program runs fine in WINE but does't show up in the task tray nor does it have any miniize maxize buttons etc | |
| <anti-net_> is there a way to add thos? to give it windows like functionality | |
| <chaddy> is it missing the whole title bar? | |
| <anti-net_> no its only got the close button, rest is there | |
| <chaddy> have you tried clicking where the min/max buttons should be? | |
| <anti-net_> no nothing there | |
| <anti-net_> plus it does't show up on the gnome panels | |
| <anti-net_> but does if you alt-tab | |
| <chaddy> does this continue to happen if you log out and back in again? | |
| <anti-net_> yup | |
| <chaddy> hmm | |
| <chaddy> looks like I might have to find SMZ and give it a go... | |
| <anti-net_> there no need to go to that much trouble :) | |
| <chaddy> can't find it anyway ;-) | |
| <chaddy> are you running beryl or compiz, anti-net_? | |
| <anti-net_> nope | |
| <chaddy> I'd submit a couple of bugs, one to wine, one to smz | |
| <anti-net_> i'll submit one to wine, but last time I submitted one for this smz app, I just got an e-mail back claiming its perfect etc etc | |
| <anti-net_> damn closed source people! | |
| <chaddy> ahh, closed source, I only have google-fu for FLOSS apps, no wonder I couldn't find it | |
| <anti-net_> yeah :( | |
| <anti-net_> its quite a nice app, cuz it means we can write ASM programs without killing the OS | |
| <anti-net_> oh well, will have to only do it under windows | |
| <anti-net_> cheers for the help chaddy | |

| <X3N> it looks nice and feels nice to use until it crashes horribly | |
| <chaddy> music123 -z /home/chaddy/Music/Dinosaur\ Jr./*/* | |
| <chaddy> if you don't mind a bit of typing it's rather good | |
| <X3N> i could use mpg321 for that | |
| <chaddy> music123 is just a front end, handles oggs too | |
| <X3N> also i don't know how i would get it to play through alsa | |
| <masterninja> its says there is no program to atomatically install this file | |
| <masterninja> wait i just tell ubuntu to open .exe files with wine :P | |
| <chaddy> I suppose, in the main, I use my Rio Karma piped through the stereo... | |
| <masterninja> uh oh | |
| <masterninja> wine isnt on my programs list when i choose what program to open .exe's | |
| <X3N> I'm a wannabe audiophile so i like to have my music out through digital optical out | |
| <masterninja> how do i add wine to my programs list? | |
| <chaddy> masterninja: did you have a read at that howto, yet? | |
| <masterninja> nope | |
| <masterninja> doesnt matter i figured it out | |
| <chaddy> system>preferences>menu>layout | |
| <masterninja> oh right | |
| <chaddy> I think so long as it's on your apps menu you can choose open with | |
| <masterninja> k | |
| * chaddy finds reading howto's handy for little tips you might not pick up otherwise | |
| <chaddy> X3N: do you use .ogg's or .mp3's? | |
| <tsmithe> extension doesnt matter: content does | |
| <X3N> ogg/flac/mp3/wav | |
| <chaddy> tsmithe: .ogg is Free | |
| <tsmithe> indeed | |
| <masterninja> brb | |
| <chaddy> I've got a mix of .mp3's and .ogg's, never seem to quite get around to konverting all the .mp3's | |
| <tsmithe> but ogg is just the container. and when i mean "extension", i mean purely that. i still care about the content of a file. however,you should be able to call it anything and it should still be recognised as what it is. | |
| <tsmithe> vorbis is the codec | |
| <chaddy> on the whole, though, people will give vorbis files a .ogg extension as a mnemonic and for interoperability, so to some extent the extension does matter | |
| <tsmithe> indeed | |
| <chaddy> ;-) | |
| <tsmithe> but applications should not look at the extension to determine the file type | |
| <tsmithe> this is something i hate about windows | |
| <chaddy> it is easier to just type "file" and be told than having to remember hundreds of different extensions | |
| <tsmithe> exactle | |
| <tsmithe> *y | |
| <masterninja> anyone know of a linux winrar clone? | |
| <tsmithe> nope | |
| <tsmithe> why? | |
| <masterninja> i need one | |
| <tsmithe> > | |
| <tsmithe> ? | |
| <masterninja> what? | |
| <tsmithe> why do you need a rar clone? | |
| <masterninja> i need a linux program that will open .rar files | |
| <tsmithe> oh... well you can install the non free cli program from multiverse: rar | |
| <masterninja> no i want free | |
| <tsmithe> no free alternative methinks | |
| <masterninja> . | |
| <masterninja> BUT I WANT IT THEREFORE I MUST HAVE | |
| *** PriceChild is now known as Pricechild_away | |
| <masterninja> ha i found a free rar linux program | |
| <masterninja> i laugh at your face | |

| *** tsmithe_ is now known as tsmithe | |
| <X3N> tell you what would be useful.. a open source software howto | |
| <X3N> for example i'm learning C++ at the moment for my degree and i'd like to make a open source program as i had an idea for one but i've got no idea how to get started with libaries/bindings and how to make them all work together to make a program that is compatible and compileable on other peoples systems | |
| <tsmithe> err... gcc file.cpp -o file ? so long as the libs/headers are installed and in the right places, that should work fine | |
| <X3N> not quite what i meant | |
| <tsmithe> ok... | |

| <popey> X3N: some of the IDEs will create all the necessary stuff for you when you make a new project | |
| *** tsmithe is now known as tsmithe-afk | |
| <GazzaK> mmmmm, dinner at my parents rocks \o/ | |
| <X3N> i don't like IDEs | |
| <X3N> and i don't understand automake yet | |
| <dsas> does anyone? | |
| <X3N> as far as i know now it's used to make rules for include locations | |
| <dsas> Yes, with Deep Magic. | |

| <littletank> Good evening folks | |
| <littletank> I am setting up a new machine and hope the message is getting through | |
| <littletank> could some kind person please let me know | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> littletank: reading you load & clear :) | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> *loud | |
| <littletank> thank you very much | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> no problem ;) I can help when it's that easy! | |
| <littletank> then tell me why is it that when I start xchat I do not get ubuntu and have to start with freenode? | |
| <littletank> I use dapper | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> littletank: the various #ubuntu channels reside on the freenode network | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> if you want to set it to auto-join certain channels, I believe you can right-click on the channel and select auto-join? | |
| <littletank> I will look at that thanks | |
| <littletank> Now, how do I split my mail in evolution into different mailboxes | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> littletank: I'm afraid I can't help you there as I don't use evolution. | |
| <littletank> I'll keep trying, someone somewhere must | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> littletank: it's very likely someone here will, but It's Sunday night, so they may well be away from their machine atm | |
| <littletank> I'll try during the week thaks | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> no problem | |

| <X3N> what's the user name and password for the ubuntu live cd | |
| <dsas> ubuntu ubuntu I think | |
| <dsas> not sure on that though. | |
| <dsas> X3N: ^^ | |
| <X3N> it's acutally a blank password, which is a bit annoying | |
| <dsas> why so? | |
| <X3N> well when a program prompts for a password and you leave it blank it automatically rejects it | |
| <dsas> ah, that would be annoying indeed. | |
| <dsas> is there a bug? | |
| <X3N> you can do passwd though | |
| <dsas> not very useful to newbies though. | |
| <popey> what rejects a blank password? | |
| <popey> in fact, what asks for one? | |
| <popey> other than sudo / gksudo ? | |
| <dsas> apps started with gksudo? | |
| <popey> :D | |
| <dsas> bah, | |
| <popey> beat ya :) | |
| <popey> (again) | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <dsas> pfft. I won the quiz the other day :p | |
| <popey> I'm catching youuuuuuuu | |

| <dsas> good evenin JonRob | |
| <JonRob> can i ask, what happens at the meeting? or should i wait and find out - have it as a surprise! | |
| <dsas> uhm, I don't know what there is to be discussed this fortnight tbh. Or that it's been publicised properly. | |
| <JonRob> lol - perhaps a surprise for everyone this time then!? | |
| <dsas> probably. | |
| <dsas> what time is it supposed to start? | |
| <JonRob> um 9.30 is it? | |
| <JonRob> yeah, says in the irc blurb | |
| <dsas> oh yeah | |
| <popey> what, here? | |
| <dsas> we should really set up an agenda before hand that everyone can add too | |
| <dsas> popey: Yeah, tomorrow. | |
| <popey> oh, cool | |
| <JonRob> on the wiki perhaps? | |
| <popey> that is the best place | |
| <dsas> yeah, already on it | |
| <JonRob> i edited a wiki for the first time earlier...changed "a" to "an", possibly one of the lowest points of my life | |
| * dsas welcomes another word fascist | |
| <JonRob> dsas: good to see i'm not alone | |
| <JonRob> where's the agenda on the wiki? | |
| <dsas> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/MeetingNotes/20061127Meeting | |
| <JonRob> ah, you're making it? | |
| <X3N> what module should i be looking at in apache to get my server to connect to another server for requests to a certain vhost ? | |
| <X3N> proxy for reverse proxying ? | |
| <dsas> huge stab in the dark, but mod_passthrough ? | |
| <dsas> hmm, ok that doesn't appear to exist. | |
| <anto9us> X3N, I'm no expert on Apache but a redirection/rewrite module would probably be worth investigation | |
| <popey> that would cause the client to do the request | |
| <popey> he wants proxying | |
| <X3N> i think proxypass is my man | |
| <anto9us> well, proxying, to my mind, doesn't redirect | |
| <X3N> redirects traffic | |
| <popey> exactly anto9us | |
| <anto9us> proxying will always add overhead | |
| <popey> which is why a redirect/rewrite isn't appropriate | |
| <anto9us> like I say, I'm no expert on Apache :) | |
| <popey> proxypass_reverse | |
| <popey> is probably what X3N needs | |
| <popey> mod_proxy | |
| <anto9us> lighttpd is a great bit of kit | |
| <anto9us> I found it easier to configure than Apache before now, though, I'm a bear of little brain | |
| <popey> Hunny! | |
| <anto9us> this really made me chuckle... http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2235 | |
| <X3N> Good evening jono | |
| <jono> hey | |
| <popey> http://www.suntimes.com/technology/ihnatko/147048,CST-FIN-Andy23.article meow :) | |
| <X3N> awsome you can embed proxy pass though into a vhost | |
| <dsas> popey: heh, quite unusual to see the media take the pro-customer anti-media stance. | |
| <X3N> as i currently only have one ip address and two http servers that's very useful | |
| <anto9us> I did that with lighttpd and even with just one server, domain redirect to port | |
| <anto9us> was running turbogears on one domain and zope on another | |
| <X3N> mm, i'm using lighthttpd as by backend machine | |
| <anto9us> lighttpd I think carries a lot less overhead for caching a lot of content, it's a smaller bit of kit designed for less tasks is how I think is how though | |
| <Seeker`> lo | |
| <anto9us> Hi Seeker` | |
| <JonRob> bye all | |
| <popey> of course, when they hack the zune to run rockbox and use the built-in wifi with no drm crud it will probably be a nice player :) | |
| <popey> "they" | |
| <Seeker`> did everyone have a good weekend? | |
| <anto9us> Seeker` yes, I went on a drug induced burglary and raping pillage. Had a great time, how about you? | |
| <Seeker`> was at a wedding on saturday, aunts birthday party today | |
| <anto9us> oh, if I know weddings, not much different | |
| <Seeker`> at the wedding, i discovered that it is very difficult to work out just how much you have had to drink when people keep on refilling your glass after you have only had a couple of sips | |
| <anto9us> Seeker`, they tend to hit you less when you've not had as much, that's what I've learned in life anyway | |
| <Seeker`> i reckon i had at least 3 glasses of champagne and 3-4 glasses of wine in about 3 hours | |
| <anto9us> well just remember, time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana | |
| <Seeker`> exactly | |
| <Seeker`> hmm | |
| <Seeker`> i wonder what a time fly would look like | |
| <anto9us> hey, now that's clever, I mean, you should be like on IRC chatting to drunken idiots or something! | |
| <anto9us> <--- drunken idiot | |
| <dsas> <-- idiot | |
| <Seeker`> i dont like talking to myself | |
| <Seeker`> damnit, i keep on losing the ring my gf gave me | |
| <Seeker`> i need to find some sort of tracking device | |
| <anto9us> Seeker`, 3+ ASBO's and the Court will give you one for free, or something like that | |
| <Seeker`> for the ring, not for me :P | |
| <dsas> put it on some string and dangle it around your neck. | |
| <dsas> or ductape it in | |
| <dsas> s/in/on | |
| <Seeker`> hmm # | |
| <Seeker`> the neck thing may work | |
| <Seeker`> i probably waste about 15 mins each day looking for it | |
| <anto9us> Seeker`, I think you can easily steal some tracking tags in tescos, they put them alcohol, music cd's and nicorette gum, just steal one of those and you're set | |
| <Seeker`> heh | |
| <Seeker`> or, i could just steal one of the low paid workers and get them to keep track of it for me | |
| <anto9us> no, they really don't give a shit at £5.25 per hour | |
