| <mrben> morning all | |
| *** elate1 is now known as elate | |
| <popey> moo | |
| <Sionide> snow | |
| <popey> not here | |
| <popey> just frost | |
| <mrben> no snow here, either | |
| <mrben> popey: I take it that you would recommend compiling qemu from source if I've doing a screencast? | |
| <mrben> plus, do you think I'm going to get enough oopmh out of an Athlon 1800XP with 1GB of memory to record a qemu session at a decent speed? | |
| <stdin> I on;y get like 1-2 FPS with xvidcap on P4 1.8Ghz 1.5GB | |
| <popey> what is the host? | |
| <popey> mrben: | |
| <popey> ubuntu ? | |
| <popey> i have had an email out of the blue from the author of xvidcap | |
| <popey> he wants to know how it can be improved, so i gave him some suggestions | |
| <popey> looks like performance is one of his key tasks | |
| <popey> mrben: I would (if ubuntu) recommend installing qemu from the repo, but compile kqemu for your cpu to improve speed | |
| <popey> alternatively use virtualbox - it is ooooodles quicker than qeu | |
| <popey> qemu | |
| <popey> mrben: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | |
| <stdin> I'm very impressed with virtualbox | |
| <popey> ditto | |
| <mrben> popey: ah. ok | |
| <mrben> (yes, ubuntu | |
| <mrben> ) | |
| <mrben> so I should go with virtualbox instead | |
| <popey> i would | |
| <stdin> give it a go | |
| <popey> it is stupendously fast | |
| <popey> let me know how you get on | |
| <mrben> coolies | |
| <mrben> I will do | |
| <mrben> plus, I'll be using Jokosher for the audio, instead of Audacity ;) | |
| <popey> hhahha | |
| <popey> loon | |
| <popey> watched his talk last night | |
| <popey> interesting, might use it myself | |
| <stdin> Jokosher kept crashing/freezing on me | |
| <mrben> the latest svn version is much improved (sadly) | |
| <mrben> 0.2 was quite feature complete, but not as stable as would've been nice | |
| <mrben> but still - report the bugs | |
| <stdin> at least audacity can use alsa now | |
| <mrben> popey: hmmm - the ubuntu package won't install :( | |
| <mrben> popey: presumably I'm better off compliling from source? | |
| <popey> what? vbox? | |
| <popey> I compile from source, yes | |
| <mrben> ok | |
| <popey> the deb isn't free software | |
| <popey> compiling from source is | |
| <popey> but usb support is only in the non-free version :( | |
| <mrben> ahhh | |
| <mrben> ok | |
| <mrben> right - off to hospital - bbiab | |
| <popey> ttfdn | |

| <CieD> a classic popey :D the IT guys here love it! | |
| <popey> 10:11 <@Wyvern> popey: I think Scott Adams managed to get quite a good likeness of you :-) | |
| <CieD> :) | |
| <GazzaK> OMG, oranges can be reallllly tangy | |
| <GazzaK> apokryphos, this -op stuff is doing my head in | |
| <apokryphos> indeed | |
| <apokryphos> GazzaK: but I think it will all be over for a long time in a week or so | |
| <GazzaK> all I can see is damage | |
| <apokryphos> somerville32 has been removed | |
| <GazzaK> if damage is caused, the troll wins..... | |
| <GazzaK> thats my 2p | |
| <GazzaK> he has been removed? really | |
| <popey> apokryphos: why? | |
| <apokryphos> mainly for being persistently counter-productive within the irc op team | |
| <popey> oh in #ubuntu? | |
| <apokryphos> in #ubuntu-ops | |
| <GazzaK> sorry for bringing this up in this channel apokryphos | |
| <popey> apokryphos: is there a way to up the max no of channels someone can be in on freenode? | |
| <GazzaK> popey, someone yesterday was saying they do this by alias' | |
| <apokryphos> yes, you contact staff and they analyse the channels you're in, perhaps speak to a few others to verify, and then you may get a +u | |
| <apokryphos> I think I'm on 36 chans atm :o | |
| <apokryphos> GazzaK: that's another option | |
| <GazzaK> +u, wow, another damn irc mode I never heard of | |
| <GazzaK> damnit, orange just squished all over my desk | |
| <popey> apokryphos: how do I contact staff? | |
| <apokryphos> popey: /stats p | |
| <gord> wish I had an orange, all we have are rubbish bananana's >:( | |
| <popey> ooo, jenda is staff? | |
| <apokryphos> first level, yes | |
| <GazzaK> gord, I have an apple too | |
| <DaveMorris> morning | |
| <GazzaK> but after being attacked by the orange of doom, I am scared of what the apple can do | |
| <GazzaK> morning DaveMorris | |
| <DaveMorris> I hate Maxtor drives !!!! | |
| <DaveMorris> came to work yesterday and my HDD had failed, it was only about 10 months old | |
| <GazzaK> warranty? | |
| <DaveMorris> I can only get the very small files off (glad I used subversion for my work) | |
| <DaveMorris> yeah it should get returned, but thats the 3rd drive we've had fail in the lab by them | |
| <GazzaK> ouch | |
| <GazzaK> get a different make? | |
| <DaveMorris> it wasn't my choice, they got them before I started | |
| <DaveMorris> I personally go for WD or segate | |
| <GazzaK> I like seagate | |
| <GazzaK> I had one in my boot, for like a year, unprotected, all weather, and it still is working now, after a year in my home machine | |
| <GazzaK> talk about abused | |
| <DaveMorris> I've got some old 3GB seagate disks still in use | |
| * popey uses seagate | |
| <DaveMorris> they've been going for years now | |
| <GazzaK> 3GB, wow | |
| <GazzaK> I have a 3.2Gb as a paperweight, it might work | |
| <DaveMorris> yeah, its sitting in my firewall (smoothwall) and has been on 24/7 now for 2-3 years | |
| <GazzaK> don't turn it off then :p | |
| <DaveMorris> are there any guides on how to make a ubuntu package for some software? | |
| <DaveMorris> I want to create some packages for http://cpptest.sourceforge.net/ | |
| <GazzaK> hey elate & PriceChild, morning | |
| <PriceChild> hi GazzaK | |
| <constrictor> where can i find a free subversion server | |
| <constrictor> ? | |
| <constrictor> or can i set up an svn server on my shared hosting without having anything installed on the server | |
| <GazzaK> I dunno | |
| <gord> sourceforge do subversion servers | |
| <constrictor> i'll look | |
| <snail> constrictor: i believe that google is considered better than sourceforge these days. easier for newbies to grok | |
| <constrictor> right | |
| <snail> constrictor: sourceforge are in maintainance mode (few new features, docs or support), whereas google are in a growth mode (regular new features, docs, etc), | |
| <constrictor> cool | |
| <constrictor> snail: url? | |
| <constrictor> would that be the project hosting feature | |
| <constrictor> ? | |
| <gord> if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck... | |
| <snail> http://code.google.com/ http://code.google.com/hosting/ | |
| <snail> constrictor: did google not find it for you ;) | |
| <constrictor> LOL | |
| <gord> stoopid gas men outside have cut off the gas so they can upgrade the pipes, its freeeeeeeezing >_< | |
| <gord> Im gonna sue them for making me cold | |
| <DaveMorris> whats the command to search for the lib's installed? | |
| <GazzaK> gord, go sit in their coffee van? | |
| <snail> DaveMorris: locate "\.so" ? | |
| <DaveMorris> no its another one, it returns -lusb for example for libusb | |
| <gord> what kind of high class builders do you have GazzaK? o_O the ones around here arn't sensible enough to drink coffee never mind find a nice quiet place to enjoy it | |
| <GazzaK> oh, thats a shame | |
| <DaveMorris> -lusb | |
| <DaveMorris> wrong window | |
| <DaveMorris> pkg-config --libs libusb is what I was after | |
| <GazzaK> gord, we have posh builders here | |
| <DaveMorris> reminds me of the Diet Coke advert | |
| <GazzaK> they drink earl grey from china cups | |
| <GazzaK> DaveMorris, I'm like the women in that ad here | |
| <GazzaK> the cute builders, wooooo | |
| <X3N> you should go wolf whistle at them | |
| <gord> y'know I have never heard a wolf make a sound like that | |
| <X3N> no, it's a strange phrase | |
| <mrben> which ubuntu package contains the kernel headers? | |
| <mrben> presumably linux-headers.... | |
| * mrben stfw | |
| * mrben attempts to build virtualbox | |
| <GazzaK> X3N, not in this weather, it is too cold to be chased about by scary angry builders | |
| <gord> I wish it would snow here :( not fair that all the rubbish southeners get it all | |
| <Seeker`> GazzaK: it would warm you up | |
| <GazzaK> true it would, but if they caught me, i'd get hurt | |
| <d2812> Does anyone know how to put a machine into standby from the command line? | |
| <mrben> apmsleep | |
| <mrben> apmsleep --standby | |
| <mrben> specifically | |
| <d2812> thank you :) | |
| <mrben> never tried it, of course | |
| <mrben> so don't blame me if it goes wrong ;) | |
| <DaveMorris> what channel do ubuntu package mainters hang around in? | |
| *** jono_ is now known as jono | |
| <mrben> DaveMorris: #goatpr0n | |
| <DaveMorris> found it, #ubuntu-motu | |
| <X3N> maintainer of the universe :) | |
| <DaveMorris> I'm not getting any answers there atm, so I wonder if y0ou guys know | |
| <DaveMorris> pkg-config | |
| <DaveMorris> grr | |
| <DaveMorris> I've looked through loads of documents but I can't find this out. I've built a package and can install it. However I want to create a pkg-config entry the packagename.pc file. IS this done using the packager toolds or within the autotools part | |
| <gord> ugh, just don't use autotools DaveMorris, its crap and anyone worth their salt is moving over to scons these days, scons is fantastic | |
| <DaveMorris> so whats the major difference between using autoconf/automake and libtool compared to scons? | |
| <gord> simplicity and power really, you don't encounter annoyances like your suffering and its powered by python so its nice and clean | |
| <DaveMorris> do you know whats ment to create the pc file? the tool chain or the packager? | |
| <gord> I haven't used autotools based systems in a long while DaveMorris | |
| <Seeker`> hmm | |
| <Seeker`> have there been any posts to the ubuntu-uk mailing list today? | |
| <gord> a few | |
| <Seeker`> hmm | |
| <Seeker`> i haven't recieved them | |
| <popey> a few today | |
| <Seeker`> did the one i just sent reach the list? | |
| <popey> yes | |
| <popey> tsk tsk | |
| <popey> test messages | |
| <popey> bad Seeker` | |
| <Seeker`> sowwie | |
| <Seeker`> its odd that i didnt receive anything posted today / yesderday | |
| <popey> did you receive your test message? | |
| <Seeker`> yeah | |
| <Seeker`> but i changed the address i was using just before that | |
| <Seeker`> popey: think up something interesting to post to the list so i can see if i receive other peoples stuff | |
| <Seeker`> woo, i fixed it | |
| <GazzaK> you fixed what you broke? woo :p | |
| <joachim-n> hi | |
| <Seeker`> hi | |
| <popey> Seeker`: what was it? | |
| <Seeker`> popey: It was the filtering at my end, sending the email to Inbox.Inbox.Linux.Ubuntu.UK | |
| <popey> Well.Well.Well. | |
| <Seeker`> although i'm not 100% sure its fixed - will have to wait for an email to come through | |
| <Seeker`> popey: Three holes in the ground? | |
| * popey pokes Seeker` with a test message | |
| * Seeker` hasn't received anything | |
| * Seeker` sighs | |
| <GazzaK> Seeker`, is it still broken? :-( | |
| <Seeker`> i'm not getting anything through | |
| * Seeker` blames GazzaK | |
| <GazzaK> wassntme | |
| <DaveMorris> I also get nothing to my domain from the Sussex LUG mailing list, they've not been able to work out why yet | |
| <DaveMorris> I don't even get an SMTP connection | |
| <Seeker`> it gets to my domain | |
| <Seeker`> cause when i dont have the filter on it gets to my inbox | |
| <Seeker````> net died :( | |
| <tito_linux> Hi | |
| <DaveMorris> hey | |
| <tito_linux> I'm confused, I'm stuck between political options. I am a eursceptic, yet the european commision seems to be doing FOSS a favour. | |
| <DaveMorris> depends what sort of eurosceptic you are I guess | |
| <tito_linux> Immediate withdrawal from the European Union | |
| <tito_linux> (EUSSR!) | |
| <DaveMorris> then yeah, I'd say you prob have a conflict | |
| <tito_linux> Hmm, politics or computing | |
| <tito_linux> OK, not a worry anymore | |
| <tito_linux> Sorted it out :) | |
| <tito_linux> Even a broken clock is right twice a day. | |
| * Seeker```` just discovered he had 5 yahoo accounts | |
| *** Seeker```` is now known as Seeker` | |
| <Seeker`> hometime! | |
| <jamesbrose> boo! | |
| <tsmithe> hihi | |
| <medders> evenin' | |
| <tito_linux> Hi | |
| <tito_linux> hi | |
| <jamesbrose> hey tito_linux | |
| <jamesbrose> Quiet today | |
| <tito_linux> Indeed | |
| *** medders_ is now known as medders | |
| <tito_linux> HI | |
| <jamesbrose> bleh | |
| <jamesbrose> I-need-coffee! | |
| <tito_linux> I've got coffee | |
| <tito_linux> I'm going for more coffee | |
| <tito_linux> Java no. 9 :) | |
| <tito_linux> I really want a system76!!! | |
| <tito_linux> The linuxemporium options are crap | |
| <chaddy> laptop you're after, tito_linux? | |
| <tito_linux> Yeah | |
| <tito_linux> chaddy: Had any experience? | |
| <chaddy> not really, was going to suggest http://efficientpc.co.uk/ , but they don't do laptops | |
| <chaddy> at least, not yet | |
| <chaddy> afaik they are pretty new | |
| <tito_linux> Wow | |
| <chaddy> I'm very tempted by their MythTV basebox | |
| <tito_linux> I'm tempted to build my own | |
| <Seeker`> lo | |
| <AdamBagnall> Evening | |
| <Nik_Doof> how well is powerbook hardware in ubuntu? | |
| <Seeker`> hmm | |
| <Seeker`> i am reinstalling edgy | |
| <Seeker`> i have 20GB on one hard drive free | |
| <Seeker`> and 40GB on another free | |
| <Seeker`> how would you suggest i partition it? | |
| <chaddy> 40 as /home, 20 split into a gig of swap, and root? | |
| <dsas> makes sense to me | |
| <tito_linux> I concur | |
| <chaddy> though, 19 for / is probably excessive, might want to make use of some of it some other way... | |
| <linux1> hiya folks | |
| <dsas> hi linux1 |
