| <siccness> It's too hard when all the questions are based on American crap tho | |
| <siccness> "In what state was Ronald Reagan born in?" pfft :| | |
| <Phlosten> knew that gameshow had to be from another country, our networks are too stupid to think of anythign original | |
| <siccness> heh yeah | |
| <TheMuso> Just like Australia's got tallent is an US rip-off. | |
| <siccness> Yes but that actual show is talentless. | |
| <TheMuso> Of course. | |
| <siccness> What times the cricket on today? | |
| <siccness> 3:30pm :| | |
| <TheMuso> Damn Perth. :) | |
| <siccness> Yup | |
| * AlexC is going to eat breakfast nowzies | |
| <siccness> Means 24 starts tonight, I think that'll take priority over the cricket | |
| * AlexC kicks siccness | |
| <TheMuso> siccness: If the game is as shocking as the last one between these sides, I can understand why. | |
| <TheMuso> is likely to be even | |
| <Phlosten> 24 hours of pain and misery | |
| <siccness> Hmm | |

| <Tatey> no idea mate | |

| <siccness> :| | |
| <Phlosten> anyone happen to have a Nokia 6233? | |
| * MistaED forgets what model number his phone is | |
| <MistaED> what are the notable features of the 6233? | |
| <Phlosten> it makes phone calls :) | |
| <MistaED> hmm mine too, must be the same model then :) | |
| <Phlosten> no matter, it has the stupid nokia connector at the bottom, its off the list | |
| <Phlosten> my phone has just come out of contract and looking at a new freebie replacement | |
| <TigerWolf> nokia.com.au? | |
| <TigerWolf> i always go there when in search of a new phone | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> phonechoice.com.au | |
| <Phlosten> yeah, i looked there, always good to find first hand reports though | |
| <Phlosten> looks like the LG TU500 might be the winner | |
| <Hit3k> I dont have a phone | |
| <Hit3k> i dont need it i never use it | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Same here. | |
| <siccness> I have one to tell me the time | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: LOL. | |
| * Cyvros has visions of siccness having dozens of phones, each with a specific function. "This one over here is my watch." "That's for receiving SMSes from family members under the age of 17 and not second-cousins." "That blue one's the 'show pony'." | |
| <siccness> LOL | |
| <purserj> okay who here is involved with the makethemove site? | |
| <MatthewV> purserj, i am | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> "Those phones over there do a good job of propping up my desk" | |
| <purserj> MatthewV: I've noticed something off on the linux page. In FF2 I'm getting multiple copies of the footer | |
| <MatthewV> purserj, thanks i'll have a look | |
| <purserj> but not in IE | |
| <MatthewV> purserj, you are getting multiple copies of the footer? you mean you are seeing the footer twice? | |
| <siccness> purserj: .../linux.php? | |
| <purserj> yeah, I'll take a screenshot | |
| <MatthewV> purserj, thanks | |
| <siccness> im only seeing one footer here | |
| <MatthewV> i cant see it at all | |
| <MatthewV> i mean i cant see the problem, its displaying fine ;) | |
| <purserj> never mind | |
| <purserj> Its my laptop | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <TheMuso> haha | |
| <Hit3k> lol | |
| <MatthewV> purserj, what about your laptop? ;) | |
| <MatthewV> heh | |
| <purserj> FF2 drags a little | |
| <siccness> yeah | |
| <MatthewV> I'm trying to ssh into my hosting provider - what details / server do you think I should be using? | |
| <TheMuso> 1 vs 100 according to smh pulled 2 mill viewers. | |
| <purserj> MatthewV: ummm? | |
| <MatthewV> where the domain is somedomain.com , server is at server.host.com , user is 'user' and pass is 'pass' | |
| <Hit3k> MatthewV, ssh username@<severer> | |
| <MatthewV> Hit3k, thats what i've tried, nothing works | |
| <siccness> MatthewV: i did notice something weird on makethemove then | |
| <Hit3k> server* | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, and i wrote all the code for makethemove :-S ;) | |
| <Hit3k> i have the urge to install fedora core 6 for show | |
| <siccness> you know the 9 boxes you got, when i clicked one of them, all the spacing between the boxes disappeared | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, under ff2? | |
| <siccness> yup | |
| <TheMuso> Meh just use drupal and be done with it. :) | |
| <siccness> it fixed itself :| must be firefox being stupid | |
| <Cyvros> Questions from the floor - what're people's thoughts on Singularity and Inferno? | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, yeah there a couple of things like that which do happen, more often with ie, but can with ff as well | |
| <Cyvros> I mean, you can't actually get Singularity, but I'm thinking of trying out Inferno. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Oops wrong button. | |
| <siccness> came back again | |
| <Cyvros> As in the OSes, BTW. | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, which theme? | |
| <siccness> tango | |
| <Phlosten> Cyvros: linkies? | |
| <Cyvros> Phlosten: One moment, please. | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, which box do you click? and what res you running at? | |
| <siccness> other considerations | |
| <siccness> 1280x1024 | |
| <Phlosten> Cyvros: tis alright, found infurno | |
| <Phlosten> inferno even | |
| <siccness> although now see it in action did the same thing, so did get started | |
| <TheMuso> DIdn't Linux start Linux in 1991? | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, i cant reproduce it :( | |
| <Cyvros> Phlosten: Okay. | |
| <Cyvros> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferno_operating_system | |
| <Cyvros> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_%28operating_system%29 | |
| <Phlosten> Cyvros: that second link has a horrible fourth word | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL | |
| <Phlosten> i couldnt convince myself to read past it | |
| <Phlosten> the inferno website mentions internet explorer 4 | |
| * Phlosten shudders | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, so what's your overall impression of MtM? | |
| <siccness> I like it | |
| <siccness> http://img184.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mtmsm6.jpg | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, thats good :) | |
| <siccness> that's what i mean tho | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, i think i've seen taht once before in testing.. but hmm.... | |
| <MatthewV> try using the released version of ff maybe? | |
| <MatthewV> instead of the testing version | |
| <siccness> I'm pretty sure 2.0 is released :) | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, is that a screenie of your system? | |
| <siccness> yup | |
| <Phlosten> that screenshot looks very different to what i see | |
| <MatthewV> Bon Echo is ff2 pre release | |
| <siccness> No | |
| <MatthewV> Phlosten, change the theme maybe? ;) | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, | |
| <MatthewV> *? | |
| <siccness> Bon Echo is just the name behind Firefox 2 | |
| <Phlosten> my boxes are blue | |
| <siccness> flag of mozbranding in gentoo | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, ah k sorry | |
| * MatthewV hasnt used gnetoo :) | |
| <siccness> :) | |
| <MatthewV> Phlosten, see the drop down box in the top right corner? | |
| <MatthewV> Change it from crystal to tango | |
| <Phlosten> ah | |
| <Phlosten> rightio | |
| <MatthewV> i quite liked that, being able to change the themes. :) all it is is a little php with some js to make it submit and hcange the stylesheet | |
| <MatthewV> on hindsight it could have been done entirely in javascript | |
| <siccness> Oh damn it, I gotta a dentist appointment :| | |
| <siccness> catch | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, bye | |
| <Hit3k> see ya | |
| <Phlosten> MatthewV: just a usability note, i was lost when I wanted to return to the front page once in an option. perhaps the logo/title should link back to the front? | |
| <Cyvros> Phlosten: It does? | |
| <MatthewV> yeah.. there is a home icon that does that, but that's something else to look at | |
| <Cyvros> Phlosten: Oh. | |
| <MatthewV> see the home icon in the middle of the forward / backward links? | |
| <Cyvros> Phlosten: Yeah, Singularity's an MS thing. Sounds a bit like the only decent thing going at MS at the moment. | |
| <Hit3k> why cant they have a fedora core DVD | |
| <Cyvros> Fipping Gaim... | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL What version/ | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> ? | |
| <Cyvros> 2.0.0b6. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Same, but it's never crashed on me. | |
| <Cyvros> Davo_Dinkum: It just... disappears. | |
| <Cyvros> I dunno. Maybe it's something about Openbox. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Perhaps. GAIM is a Gnome app.. | |
| * MatthewV keeps trying to use multimedia buttons on keyboard to control mp3 player!! | |
| <MatthewV> use xchat! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> wth???? firefox is segfaulting when i try and unsubscribe from a list | |
| <MatthewV> Kamping_Kaiser, obviously they dont want you to unsubscribe ;) | |
| <Cyvros> Davo_Dinkum: Probably. | |
| <Cyvros> MatthewV: No! I have too many logs and too many IM accounts! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> MatthewV, quite likely, but i do want to :) | |
| <Cyvros> God, the amount of people trying to convince me to dump Gaim. It's phenomenal! | |
| <MatthewV> Cyvros, heh | |
| <MatthewV> Cyvros, gaim is not an IRC app... irc is jsut thrown in, i use gaim for jabber and msn, but xchat for irc | |
| <Cyvros> MatthewV: Yeah, but I've got too many IRC logs here. | |
| <Cyvros> And I find it easier to just use the one thing. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I use gaim for IRC all the time, it's great! | |
| <Cyvros> Davo_Dinkum: Hehehe. | |
| <MatthewV> hmm... all these people were complainging that mtm doesnt display perfect at res. below 1024x768... MS is worse... fixed width, non-liquid sites like showusyourwow.msn.com | |
| <MatthewV> and that site makes my pc go as slow as a snail with a bellyache | |
| <Hit3k> lol | |
| <Hit3k> what the fuck is that | |
| <MatthewV> !language | Hit3k | |
| <MatthewV> ;)_ | |
| <ubotu> Hit3k: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly. | |
| <MatthewV> Hit3k, what? | |
| <Hit3k> people submitting their screenshots of this "amazing" OS to win money? | |
| <MatthewV> Hit3k, something like that, it was too hard to view the site so i closed it | |
| <Hit3k> its making me lag :| | |
| <Hit3k> hmm | |
| * Hit3k submits a picture of his desktop :D | |
| <MatthewV> Hit3k, good idea - submit a screenie of xgl etc ;) | |
| <Hit3k> i dont have XGL :P i run slackware | |
| <MatthewV> Hit3k, :( | |
| <MatthewV> i dont either, my pc wont take it | |
| <Hit3k> oh its not "Screenshots" its their damn photocrap | |
| * MatthewV tries to get there again | |
| <Hit3k> the only way i'd upgrade to vista is if my dad buys it and then lets me use his DVD | |
| <Hit3k> and thats on my laptop | |
| <MatthewV> Hit3k, well, I sell vista, but i'm going to have trouble convincing people to go it - hard enough trying get myself to sell xp, and norton antivirus :P | |
| <Changlinn> heh agreed, Vista is a waste... | |
| <Changlinn> ran our works beta for a while, in a VM, it is so bloated and newtered... | |
| <Changlinn> I was almost glad when it told me the beta was over and to get the full version... | |
| <Hit3k> you can do the exact same stuff in vista that you can do in XP | |
| <Changlinn> slower | |
| <Hit3k> yeah | |
| <Changlinn> and using more hard drive space... | |
| <Hit3k> my friend from school said he upgraded to vista and said it was "faster" | |
| <Changlinn> heheh, seriously? | |
| <Hit3k> yeah | |
| <MatthewV> :-S | |
| <Changlinn> he either lied/ or it is the first clean install he has had in a while and of course it seems faster, cause there aren't a million spyware apps running at startup, and no crud installed. | |
| <MatthewV> Changlinn, Vista is crud | |
| <MatthewV> that makes 1 installed at start, plus dvd maker and i dont knwo what other stuff comes by defulat ;) | |
| <Hit3k> aero | |
| <Changlinn> it uses more ram, and has higher cpu overhead, it is based on the 2003 kernel, which was based on the XP kernel, which was based on 2000 and it on NT... it can't be faster it is an impossibility. | |
| <siccness> Ah still got 25mins left | |
| <TheMuso> I heard that vista has a network stack rewritten from the ground up. | |
| <cafuego_> restolen from BSD from the ground up? | |
| <Fujitsu> cafuego_, probably. | |
| <TheMuso> haha | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Like TCP/IP | |
| <cafuego_> They probably ditched that and designed something "better" | |
| <Changlinn> I heard if you look at windows server's dns.exe the dns server in a hex viewer it looks strangely similar to bind... | |

| <Hit3k> how so? | |

| <praetorian> see #slug | |
| <Hit3k> brb | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> qBittorrent has a nice interface, pity it lacks the features I need. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Oh well, back to Ktorrent. | |
| <Hit3k> rtorrent ftw | |
| <Cyvros> Why does the ice cream van music sound like Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Hit3k: No I want a GUI client. | |
| <Hit3k> oh | |
| <Cyvros> Only funkier... | |
| <Hit3k> azureus | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Azureus can get nicked. Way too bloated. | |
| <Hit3k> utorrent in wine? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> No way. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Deludge looks good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Deluge.0.4.png | |
| <henno> Davo_Dinkum: GUI only? | |
| <henno> ktorrent isn't bad | |
| * henno is serious | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Yeah GUI only please. | |
| <henno> if you are one of those "I will never install kdelibs" people then don't do it | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Yeah I'm using ktorrent atm. | |
| <henno> otherwise, give it a shot | |
| <henno> oh ok... then why use azureus at all | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I'm OK with using kde apps under gnome. | |
| <henno> good | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Who said I was using Azureus!?! | |
| * henno needs to reed further up his screen buffer | |
| <henno> I'll shut up now | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Heh | |
| <Changlinn> deluge is good | |
| <henno> all I read was "<Davo_Dinkum> Azureus can get nicked. Way too bloated" | |
| <henno> and jumped straight in | |
| <siccness> henno: it's ok, i woulda done the same | |
| <TheMuso> btdownloadcurses!! From bittornado | |
| <siccness> or even better | |
| <siccness> dont use torrents! | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> siccness: lmao good one | |
| <TheMuso> Torrents are a good idea for things like isos that someone without webspace wants to distribute | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Changlinn: Can you choose which files to DL from a torrent file? | |
| <TheMuso> Not afaik. | |
| <siccness> TheMuso: It'd be better to find someone to host it | |
| <TheMuso> siccness: True. | |
| <TheMuso> But torrents do have some good legal uses. | |
| <henno> if I were an independant film artist, and wanted to distribute my films I think I would have a good look at torrent | |
| <Changlinn> Davo_Dinkum: only used it while my download server was on the fritz | |
| <henno> but most of my bandwidth is eaten up by rsync these days | |
| <siccness> henno: I'd go to the independant film association :) | |
| <Changlinn> henno: yeah, a few of them do, red vs blue, systm, TheScene etc | |
| <Changlinn> I'd put a preview on youtube/google video and then website with torrents | |
| <Hit3k> i'd also offer normal downloads for those without torrent programs though | |
| <henno> nah, I'd rar it into 500 split files, and upload it to rapidshare, and pasword it with hennoiztehr0x0rz | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL | |
| <Cyvros> henno: LOL. | |
| <Cyvros> RapidShare's horrible, though. | |
| <henno> I agree | |
| <Cyvros> Need to have flying holo-discs or something. | |

| <Davo_Dinkum> Dammit I don't want to manually download and install all those dependencies: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/deluge-torrent | |
| <Cyvros> Davo_Dinkum: It's in the repos. | |
| <Cyvros> I just installed it. :D | |
| <Cyvros> apt-get install deluge-torrent | |
| <Cyvros> Davo_Dinkum: Oh, I see what you mean. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> apt-get install deluge-torrent will still work, right? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Nope | |
| <Cyvros> Davo_Dinkum: I dunno. I think so. | |
| <Fujitsu> I see only ~2.5MiB of deps which aren't in the default installation. | |
| <Cyvros> Can't you use Synaptic? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Hmm maybe | |
| <Fujitsu> Why not use apt-get? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Fujitsu: I tried. | |
| <Cyvros> I needed 7 packages, IIRC. | |
| <Fujitsu> What did it not do? | |
| <henno> just `sudo apt-get update` then `apt-cache search deluge` and check out if it is available | |
| <Fujitsu> 0 upgraded, 7 newly installed, 0 to remove and 34 not upgraded. | |
| <Fujitsu> Need to get 2396kB of archives. | |
| <henno> if not ammend your repos | |
| <Fujitsu> That's on an Edgy machine. | |
| <Fujitsu> Same on Feisty. | |
| <Fujitsu> henno, care to clarify what you mean by that? | |
| <henno> he was asking if apt-get would work | |
| <Fujitsu> I meant the repo-ammending bit. | |
| <siccness> Cricket baby! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, whats the match? | |
| <henno> Fujitsu: I just read the 'unstable' bit on http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/deluge-torrent and assumed unstable debian packages would not be part of the standard ubuntu repos | |
| <henno> I guess I am wrong | |
| <Fujitsu> We source 99% of our packages from unstable. | |
| <Fujitsu> And adding unstable repos to Ubuntu is a very bad idea. | |
| <henno> that is not what I was suggesting | |
| <henno> I assumed there might be an edgy unstable or something | |
| <henno> anyway, it is of no matter. I was wrong, and n harm done | |
| <henno> no* | |
| <Changlinn> deb http://deluge.mynimalistic.net/apt edgy main | |
| <Changlinn> thats where I go it, I think, but I commented it out after install | |
| <Fujitsu> But it's in the official edgy repo! | |
| <Hit3k> hm | |
| <Hit3k> I feel like installing whatevers done to feisty | |
| <siccness> Kamping_Kaiser: NZ vs ENG | |
| <purserj> ah, you mean an actual competition | |
| <Changlinn> Fujitsu: I got mine back in dapper and dist-upgrade changed the end to edgy | |
| <Hit3k> oh so the crap teams are playing | |
| <Fujitsu> Changlinn, ah. | |
| <siccness> I'm not sure I'd say NZ as 'crap' | |
| <siccness> Eng, sure. | |
| <Hit3k> well the teams that arnt as good as us | |
| <siccness> NZ is, they're just not as consistant. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> henno: It didn't find deluge. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Result: New Zealand lead by 0 runs with 10 wickets in hand :) love automation | |
| <siccness> i knew that it was now or never, those were the best days of my life! | |
| <Hit3k> I dont think im gonna survive year 11 | |
| <Hit3k> or come out mentally intact anyway | |
| <purserj> Its high school, your not meant to survive mentally intact | |
| <siccness> year 11 is easy | |
| <siccness> Hit3k: Year 12 is probably the easiest out of Year 10/11 | |
| <Hit3k> yeah | |
| <siccness> Fleming gone for 15 | |
| <henno> he is having a terrible run | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| *** prae is now known as praetorian | |
| <nrdb> I am remotely connected to a computer, it has been left loged in and the screen saver is running, can I remotely log that person out ? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> not gracefully. you could kill them off if you want though | |
| <Fujitsu> Can't you tell dbus or something to log out? | |
| <Fujitsu> (or just kill X) | |
| <nrdb> Kamping_Kaiser: what process is used to start the screen savers ? | |
| <Fujitsu> nrdb: gnome-screensaver. | |
| <nrdb> Fujitsu: I killed the gnome-screensaver running under the name of the other user, this at least should stop it hogging the CPU | |
| <Fujitsu> You can kill their X process, if you wish. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> or do what i do and remove all users screensavers | |
| <nrdb> Kamping_Kaiser: I think this is a one off trouble, the user probably didn't know to log out before leaving, I will have to make sure he understands to not leave with the computer loged in. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> nrdb, enforce logouts (log out after ~30 min of inactivity) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i had that problem untill the server went down under a few people and they couldnt log back in (aftert being told 'log out, server goes down this weekend'. they remember after that | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> bbl | |
| <nrdb> OK onto another problem, I have a OpenVPN setup working, but I do a nfs mount via the OpenVPN, I have put an entery in '/etc/exports' file, can someone help please ? | |
| <nrdb> I keep getting a 'Permisson denied' error. I can ping the host | |
| <cafuego_> nrdb: What does syslog say? | |
| <cafuego_> (on the server) | |
| <nrdb> cafuego_: by syslog do you mean /var/log/messages ? it hasn't got anthing new in it :( | |
| <cafuego_> did you restart nfsd after editing the exports file? | |
| <TheMuso> Gah! | |
| <TheMuso> Nine just had to promote vista on the news didn't they. | |
| <nrdb> cafuego_: I last edited the file yesterday, the computer has since been turned off/on, so it has been restarted, I do it again | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> TheMuso: They did? | |
| <TheMuso> Yep. | |
| <praetorian> yeah. saw that | |
| <praetorian> i liked the closing remarks | |
| <nrdb> TheMuso: seen the last podcast by www.grc.com about how overloaded vista is with DRM ? | |
| <TheMuso> No. | |
| <TheMuso> I should check that out | |
| <TheMuso> There are plenty of docs on the net about this as well. | |
| <TheMuso> nrdb: Got a link? | |
| <siccness> Haha, Vista made the news :| | |
| <siccness> like 2000 "tech-heads" in Harvey Norman buying a copy | |
| <zorba64> TheMuso, you mean the nine of nineMSN.com.au? | |
| <nrdb> TheMuso: see http://www.grc.com/SecurityNow.htm episode 73-75 | |
| <cps> it's been on tv all day | |
| <cps> with footage of some guy who won a "signed" copy | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <TheMuso> nrdb: thanks | |
| <nrdb> cafuego_: do you think re-installing the nfs server will help ? | |
| <nrdb> cafuego_: I fixed it, I was using the wrong nfs server package, I changed to nfs-kernel-server and everything is OK :) | |
| <nrdb> Does anyone know if vncviewer will work with any resolution or just the standard (e.g. 800x600) ? | |
| <cafuego_> any | |
| <TigerWolf> how do you change the resolution? | |
| <nrdb> TigerWolf: with vnc ? | |
| <TigerWolf> ah found it | |
| <TigerWolf> i thought you couldnt change it the usual way - but it works | |
| <TigerWolf> nup - wont let me go over 1024x768 | |
| <nrdb> TigerWolf: how are you starting the server ? | |
| <TongMaster> Phlosten: No. | |
| <TigerWolf> default ubuntu - libvncserver | |
| <Phlosten> TongMaster: is that a work connection? | |
| <nrdb> TigerWolf: try changing the -geometry option for the vnc server | |
| <MistaED> so who went to hardly normal at midnight for vista? | |
| <Phlosten> us country bumpkins didnt get a midnight opening special | |
| <Phlosten> i visited DSE, they had a half assed display today | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Were they showing it running on intel macs? | |
| <Phlosten> its like $200 for the basic academic upgrade | |
| <Phlosten> Davo_Dinkum: no one in this town sells Macs | |
| <Tatey> MistaED: ZOMG I PICKED UP THE BILL GATES SIGNED EDITION! :P | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Pfft | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser eyes of Tatey | |
| <Phlosten> Tatey: prove it by pointing us to your burning of media video on youtube :) | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL that would be sweet. A vista burning. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> bbl | |
| <Tatey> lawl | |
| <Phlosten> Mark should give away signed limited edition copies of Ubuntu | |
| <MistaED> we got a heap of vista leaflet spam in the mail | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser realises its probably a good thing hes never thought to put his cd burning flicks up (not having a youtube account i dont think of such things) | |
| <MistaED> every page for the DSE and hardly normal had vista mentioned, even the pages after the page said "zomg pages 2-4" just in case i missed them | |
| <cps> well didn't you know that the wow starts now | |
| <Phlosten> the Ow! Starts Now | |
| <elkbuntu> i would be greatly amused if they did actually use that phrase, MistaED | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser is thankful no one he knows is going to be using it (certainly not in the short term anyway) | |
| <MistaED> hehe | |
| <Phlosten> whats this one care horse manure they are trying to offload? | |
| <MistaED> making money off of their flawed security model | |
| <Phlosten> 'hey heres a product that deals with all the crap that we allowed to run on our systems' | |
| <Phlosten> its like trying to sell your SP2 | |
| <cps> lets not get too caught up on the whole thing, we can leave the "tech-heads" to their shiny new boxes | |
| <Phlosten> yeah, we all know it wont run on the old ones ;) | |
| <TongMaster> Phlosten: no, they use me. | |
| <Phlosten> TongMaster: exetel no good? | |
| <praetorian> heh | |
| <Phlosten> i was looking at switching over to exetel | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> internode ftw! | |
| <MistaED> Phlosten: no do not even consider exetel!! | |
| <Phlosten> its between internode and exetel atm | |
| <praetorian> wow | |
| <Phlosten> ok dish the dirt on exetel... | |
| <praetorian> talk about apples and oranges | |
| <TongMaster> Phlosten: they're OK, if you're on a business plan like I am. | |
| <MistaED> i changed over to them a few months back and i can't stand it, i want iinet again | |
| <TongMaster> Getting hold of support though is far king difficult when something does go wrong. | |
| <Phlosten> MistaED: what problems are you having? | |
| * praetorian just changed westnet -> iinet ... due to costs and speeds | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Phlosten: The name should tip you off: exe as in .exe, and tel as in telstra. | |
| <Phlosten> praetorian: i havent looked at iinet *looks* | |
| <MistaED> well, the net is slow for me, i'm on adsl2+ but i get on average about 1mbps, their bandwidth allocation isn't sustainable for all the people on the network, p2p is shaped, international websites are often unresponsive or at 33kbytes/s | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser wondes why vista isnt on the popular downloads on ms's site ;) | |
| <praetorian> 69.95 for 20/40 on their adsl2 infrastructure when you bundle .. bundle either with phone 34.95 + calls .. or just bundle with voip 9.95 + calls | |
| <praetorian> i can download vista business on msdnaa | |
| <praetorian> 2.3G | |
| <Phlosten> bundling isnt an option for me | |
| <praetorian> erm | |
| <praetorian> voip bundling | |
| <MistaED> the price is good, $80/month including line rental and 12/30 downloads, but the service sucks 2dmaxx | |
| <praetorian> involves no ditching telstra | |
| <Phlosten> oh voice bundling | |
| <praetorian> they consider it bundling, but its not | |
| <Phlosten> voip rather | |
| <Tatey> I could download Vista too | |
| <Tatey> but why would I want bother? :P | |
| <Phlosten> they are more expensive than internode | |
| <praetorian> they are? | |
| <praetorian> what plan are you looking at | |
| <praetorian> or what download allowance would you like | |
| <Phlosten> $10/month more for 6GB less quota | |
| <Phlosten> on 512/128 | |
| <Phlosten> $40 a month for 512/128 with 8GB at internode | |
| <Tatey> I'm paying $60/month for 30GB /w Static IP ADSL2+ ATM | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> rofl. ms's au site, has a big 'get ready for vista' bit, and the link doesnt work | |
| <praetorian> Phlosten: on iinet dslam in your exchange? | |
| <praetorian> s/on/no/ | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Kamping_Kaiser: The aussies forgot to get ready for it. | |
| <Phlosten> we dont even have adsl2+ | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> bbl | |
| <praetorian> ah | |
| <praetorian> well iinet would work out cheaper if it was on an a bb2 service | |
| <praetorian> typically does | |
| <Phlosten> yeah, being in the country usually means all that sort of stuff goes out the windows | |
| <praetorian> including vista | |
| <Phlosten> we still have large chunks of town without even basic adsl 1 | |
| <Phlosten> including the newer estates | |
| <Phlosten> its silly, the areas in town that have the highest household incomes cant get any sort of adsl | |
| <cps> I loved how on the news they were like "some machines need to be upgraded before they can run the new os" | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Some? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Or 99% of them? | |
| <cps> the piece was too short to go into specifics :-) | |
| <Phlosten> it would have to be a series of episodes like 24 | |
| <Phlosten> 23 three episodes of which try to explain that EULA | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> lmao | |
| <praetorian> THIS WEEK IN 24 - JACK FIGHTS BACK AGAINST THE EVIL DRM CREW | |

| <adhoc> purserj: by the way, i'm kidding? | |
| <adhoc> ok? | |
| <purserj> I commit myself 100% to every channel I'm in | |
| <purserj> All 40 of them | |
| <adhoc> purserj: =) | |
| <adhoc> purserj: coffee does wierd things .. .but thats no excuse ... i'm just hyper | |
| * MotherLUG agrees with purserj whole heartedly | |
| <adhoc> uh huh | |
| * MotherLUG feels neglected at times | |
| * adhoc hugs MotherLUG ... there there, its all right ... | |
| <MotherLUG> adhoc, aww thankyou. At least I know someone cares | |
| * adhoc whispers, just unplug the ADSL connection | |
| * adhoc whispers, its the only way i can get a reponse some times ... | |
| * MotherLUG whispers back to adhoc , he goes mental when the connection goes down | |
| <purserj> awww you two irc widows keep commisserating | |
| <adhoc> like wise here ... but it gets the blood flowing and they talk to you then ... | |
| * adhoc pokes purserj with a teleconference | |
| * MotherLUG gets a faster response at time if she asks purserj in irc | |
| <adhoc> you got all the luck | |
| <siccness> :D | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ahahahaha! | |

| <Fujitsu> nrdb: Try the command `cpufreq-selector'. It's installed by default. | |
| <Fujitsu> There's also a panel applet installed by default to display the current frequency. | |
| <Fujitsu> (note that the kernel automatically reduces the CPU frequency, so you don't need to run anything to enable it) | |
| <nrdb> Fujitsu: do you mean that the freq. should allready be dynamic ? | |
| <Fujitsu> Correct. | |
| <praetorian> from a terminal | |
| <praetorian> type: cpufreq-info | |
| <praetorian> and you can see what its doing | |
| <Fujitsu> praetorian, not installed by default. | |
| <Fujitsu> !find cpufreq-info | |
| <nrdb> OK i have a problem then, because it isn't, is there a test for it ? | |
| <praetorian> it isnt? | |
| <ubotu> File cpufreq-info found in cpufrequtils | |
| <praetorian> how gay. | |
| <Fujitsu> cpufrequtils contains it. | |
| <Fujitsu> nrdb, are you sure your processor supports scaling? | |
| <praetorian> wont hurt to install cpufequtils then | |
| <nrdb> Fujitsu: no, but it is a laptop | |
| <Fujitsu> nrdb, what type of processor, and how old is it? | |
| <nrdb> Fujitsu: an Intel Celeron M | |
| <praetorian> if unsure: cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep model | |
| <praetorian> well that definately would do it | |
| <Fujitsu> A Celeron probably won't scale. | |
| <nrdb> praetorian: I know that one | |
| <praetorian> Fujitsu: the M should tho | |
| <nrdb> any flags that are important ? | |
| <Fujitsu> OK, I need to go to bed now... | |
| <Fujitsu> Goodnight, all. | |
| <praetorian> school? :O | |
| <nrdb> Fujitsu: bye | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Why would school start on the 31st? That's an odd starting date. | |
| <praetorian> depends on the day of the week | |
| <praetorian> not the day of the month | |
| <SuPeRhAm> night all | |
| <praetorian> migt be useful -> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-170746.html | |
| <praetorian> http://www.hjiang.net/wp/2006/11/06/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu-linux-on-celeron-m-based-laptops/ | |
| <praetorian> too | |
| <praetorian> i thought it could do it | |
| <praetorian> tho i did think it was native | |
| <nrdb> found out some info, it turns out that the powernowd is installed, it says that "CPU frequency scaling not supported" so it seems that it can't work. | |
| <praetorian> seems it | |
| <praetorian> but you can hack around it | |
| <praetorian> with some fake scaling it seems | |
| <yama> does anyone know if the core 2 duo allows the complete disabling of a core? | |
| <praetorian> sorry Fujitsu :P | |
| <nrdb> not my laptop I am not keen on hacking it. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> yama: For power saving purposes? | |
| <yama> Davo_Dinkum: yep | |
| <yama> all the power saving stuff I've seen only throttles the cores down to 1GHz on my 2GHz Core 2 Duo laptop | |
| <yama> when the machine is idle, I don't need two cores | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I'm off | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> hammertime | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Bye everyone. | |
| <Cyvros> Ooh... nice. | |
| * Cyvros is back using Xfce. | |
| <MistaED> bleh, vista got onto the news | |
| <MistaED> i wish ubuntu did | |
| <elkbuntu> it does occasionally, just smalltime | |
| <elkbuntu> oh, you mean tv news | |
| <elkbuntu> :( | |
| <MistaED> yeah, a shame the mentality of one of them is "yeah i decided to upgrade now because everyone else will have to eventually" | |
| <Cyvros> God. | |
| <Cyvros> Great. | |
| <Cyvros> Xfce has karked it. | |
| <Cyvros> I guess it's back to OB. | |
| <Cyvros> G'nite,a ll. | |
