| * stdin mutters "If it was open source...." :P | |
| <X3N> i noticed a bug got assigned to mark shuttleworth on that issue | |
| <X3N> mmm fedora on launchpad, didn't see that one coming | |
| <stdin> heh | |
| <X3N> this is funny https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ticket/3322 | |
| <stdin> ahh, some people are just too dumb to own a PC | |
| <X3N> it should be a bit like doing a driving test | |
| <Seeker`> X3N: Everyone learns what to do to pass the test, but then ignores it as soon as they are out of sight of the test center? | |
| <DaveMorris> thats just painfull | |
| <X3N> yeah but they don't completly ignore it | |
| <X3N> otherwise it'd be like in itally | |
| <DaveMorris> looks like his running brezzy | |
| <Seeker`> X3N: You haven't seen some of the people i encounter on the way home from work | |
| <X3N> oh dear | |
| <X3N> you're not one of those people who drive along critasing everyone elses driving are you ? | |
| <Seeker`> X3N: I dont drive. However, this doesn't mean that I dont realise that trying to squeeze a car into a 3m gap while driving along at 60mph isn't terminally stupid | |
| <X3N> heheh | |

| * chaddy wastes a day on DRI drivers | |
| <chaddy> nice little note the left in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to tell me it's broken on my chipset | |
| <chaddy> s/the/they | |
| <X3N> what chipset do you have ? | |
| <chaddy> radeon xpress 200m | |
| <X3N> ah yeah | |
| <chaddy> I misread the wiki, must just have wanted to believe | |
| <X3N> did you do all the frglx and that | |
| <chaddy> fglrx is a waste of time, tbh, the only thing I want it for is Beryl, IME AIGLX is significantly more stable than XGL | |
| <X3N> yeah | |
| <chaddy> at any rate on this machine fglrx/XGL is hopelessly unstable | |
| <X3N> ati cards are a pain in the arse | |
| <chaddy> indeedio™ | |
| <X3N> even on doze | |
| <chaddy> one good little thing, though, been having a problem getting full functionality out of my mouse, the DRI driver has at least fixed that | |
| * chaddy realizes he hasn't had the merest morsel yet, today | |
| <X3N> :o | |
| <X3N> just as well you hadn't decided to compile your own kernel and build gnome from svn today then | |
| <X3N> you'd not have eaten for weeks | |
| <chaddy> ;-) | |
| <X3N> I want to setup a poll on ubuntu-uk.org but php seems to be broked | |
| <X3N> spose i could run the form from ubuntu-uk and bung the php etc on another server | |
| <X3N> good idea X3N , why didn't you think of that before | |
| <X3N> ah well, it hadn't really occoured to me that you didn't need anything other than html to render a useful form | |
| <X3N> that's a good point, but you might want to pass information such as IP address to the submit php , spose you can do that using js or something | |
| <dsas> X3N: by having the form submit to another server you can still get IP addresses and stuff. | |
| <mahiti> hi | |

| <GazzaK> oops, 60,000 that is | |
| <GazzaK> and the flat I started with at 18 years old was £38K | |

| <GazzaK> really, Seeker` welcome to the geekdom | |
| <Seeker`> http://cjo20.net/blog | |
| <medders> hi everyone | |
| <popey> jono: moo! | |
| * medders is 18 today! :D | |
| <popey> Happy Birthday! | |
| <GazzaK> happy drunk day medders | |
| <medders> hehehe | |
| <medders> cheers :) | |
| <GazzaK> my birthday is tomorrow | |
| <medders> GazzaK: How old will you be? | |
| <Seeker`> medders: Happy birthday | |
| <GazzaK> medders, 30!!! | |
| <popey> Seeker`: do you have to be on vodafone to use that site? | |
| <medders> GazzaK: That's a big one isn't it? | |
| <GazzaK> medders, so they say! | |
| <medders> Birthdays are fun :) | |
| <popey> Seeker`: aaargh | |
| * popey pokes that site with a big stick | |
| <jono> hi | |
| <GazzaK> I got a ferrari day bought for me by my partner :-) a whole day of messing about in a ferrari - nice | |
| <GazzaK> hello jono | |
| <jono> hey | |
| <Seeker`> popey: No | |
| <popey> Seeker`: it lists files and tells me that mediatoob.sis is available for exaple, but wont let me download | |
| <Seeker`> popey: why are you poking it with a big stick | |
| <popey> they aren't links | |
| <popey> and there is no indication how to download | |
| <medders> on another note, what would everyone think of a week-long meetup in Cornwall during the summer? | |
| <medders> i'd be able to find a campsite or something, and get the prices worked out | |
| <medders> we could advertise ubuntu to the tourists on the beachs :) | |
| <Seeker`> popey: You have to be registered to download | |
| <popey> it doesnt say that | |
| <Seeker`> yeah, thats what i just noticed | |
| <popey> "Welcome to downloads. From here you can browse the available applications and download them direct to your PC. " | |
| <popey> lies :) | |
| <GazzaK> medders, I like camping, but in the summer I am often out doing mx5 owner club runs and campouts | |
| <medders> GazzaK: okay, sounds fun | |
| <popey> Seeker`: " If it is a mobile app then transfer the file to your device using your usual method. | |
| <Seeker`> popey: It does say "Sign in or join to access downloads" | |
| <popey> that's ... "vauge" | |
| <medders> It was just a madcap odea anyhow :P | |
| <medders> idea* | |
| <popey> Seeker`: home page --> on left, click projects --> click files.. | |
| <popey> no | |
| <Seeker`> popey: I know what you mean | |
| <popey> plus, I dont like the fact that I have to sign up to yet another system just to try out an app | |
| <popey> especially when the developers are expecting feedback from me | |
| <loudmouthman> wow , two more of my old clients pre the split have come back <Grin> and my billed work today means ive hit my targets for feb! I might actually put my feet up tommorow ! | |
| <loudmouthman> Seeker cant we get vodafone on Launchpad <grin> | |
| <popey> Seeker`: also, if I go to forums it remembers where I was, if I click "forums" along the top I want to go to the root of all forums | |
| <GazzaK> loudmouthman, as in put you feet up for the whole month? | |
| <popey> thats how every other forum works | |
| <loudmouthman> yeah ! | |
| <GazzaK> wow | |
| <Seeker`> popey: That is a problem with the software we modified | |
| <loudmouthman> its not likely to happen though , customers tend to think up new and interresting projects. <grin> | |
| <Seeker`> popey: Am just going to pass on those comments now | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Seeker`: your blog gets websense'd for me. "the category 'games' is filtered" | |
| <Seeker`> popey: With regards to having to be registered - if you are going to provide feedback via the blogs / forums you have to be registered (which is a condition that the legal department have imposed on us) | |
| <popey> fine, but to download? | |
| <popey> that seems a bit much to me | |
| <popey> especially given voda dont even write the code, they are "just" hosting it | |
| <popey> so it is highly likely I could freely download the same stuff from someehre else | |
| <popey> and likely will if I have to faff around signing up | |
| <Seeker`> popey: I will pass those comments on | |
| <popey> I can understand forcing developers to sign up, but not users | |
| <popey> take cnet downloads, tucows, youtube etc, all have accessible content with no signup required | |
| <Seeker`> popey: I think its becase they want to encourage people to sign up and contribute, rather than download applications and run away | |
| <popey> hahaha | |
| <popey> contribute | |
| <popey> you will get bugger all downloads then | |
| <Seeker`> with regards to the forum link, its on my TODO list | |
| <popey> compared to a site which has no registration | |
| * popey climbs down off his high horse | |
| <Seeker`> There should be a button where the download button would normally be saying that you need to be signed in to download appearing the next few days | |
| <popey> Toon Ar-my! | |
| <popey> Toon Ar-my! | |
| <popey> Toon Ar-my! | |
| <popey> :0 | |
| <Seeker`> and there is a section on the help page that explains in more detail about getting your app on your phone. This will be linked directly from download page | |
| <Seeker`> sheepeatingtaz: websensed? | |
| <DaveMorris> where are the logs for yesterdays meeting? | |
| <Seeker`> DaveMorris: They aren't up yet | |
| <Seeker`> http://cjo20.net/bot/ubuntu-uk.20070131_2103.html | |
| <DaveMorris> when they do go up where will they be? | |
| <Seeker`> that is a summary of what happened | |
| <popey> I have the full logs | |
| <Seeker`> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/MeetingNotes/20070131Meeting | |
| <popey> can paste | |
| <DaveMorris> cheers guys | |
| <Seeker`> popey: Can you put the logs on the wiki page? | |
| <popey> will do | |
| <Seeker`> thanks | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Seeker`: viewing at work, their web filtering package (websense) blocks your site. | |
| <jayteeuk> Good morning one and all. | |
| <Seeker`> :( | |
| <Seeker`> I wonder why | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> If I understand it, it's a local setting (by our admins) rather than a hosted one. GazzaK will probably correct me here | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> on the other hand, loving the betavine :) | |
| <Seeker`> sheepeatingtaz: The site has only existed for 2 weeks | |
| <GazzaK> websense can provide a list of blocked sites, so it might not be your local iT department | |
| <Seeker`> any way i can find out if it is websense? | |
| <DaveMorris> sheepeatingtaz do you go through a proxy? | |
| <GazzaK> they trawl the web and stick sites in groups, ie games, alcohol, porn, guns, etc etc, and your IT department can either choose a default block or select individual groups, or even sites to block or allow | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> DaveMorris: yes | |
| <DaveMorris> I can by pass my works proxy by hitting website on non standard ports | |
| <GazzaK> Seeker`, nothing stops you asking your IT to allow this site | |
| <DaveMorris> ie greenacre.no-ip.com:1067 | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> DaveMorris: Oh, I know, I've just tunnelled to goatse.co.uk and viewed it over there, I just wanted to let Seeker` know | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Seeker`: the websense site has a 'Site Lookup Tool' but you need to be registered | |
| * Seeker` isn't registered | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> neither am I, unfortunately | |
| * sheepeatingtaz looks at GazzaK | |
| <Seeker`> is anyone registered with websense that wants to check my site? | |
| <GazzaK> on t phone | |
| <GazzaK> lol, just got asked for my DOB, and when I said it, she said "happy birthday for tomorrow" hehehe | |
| <Seeker`> heh | |
| <DaveMorris> now we have to remember to sya happy birthday | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> DaveMorris: be a geek, set up a cron job to remind you ;) | |
| <DaveMorris> bloody wiki login page | |
| <DaveMorris> you type your mail in, press tab and it takes you to the create an account link rather than your password! | |
| <DaveMorris> grrr | |
| <Seeker`> DaveMorris: I find that annoying too | |
| <GazzaK> wooo, house insurance has gone down £6 a month :-) | |
| <Seeker`> nice | |
| <Seeker`> GazzaK: you have a websense login? | |
| <GazzaK> no | |
| <Seeker`> :( | |
| <Seeker`> blah | |
| <popey> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/MeetingNotes/20070131Meeting | |
| <popey> irc log added | |
| <DaveMorris> cheers popey | |
| <constrictor> has anyone any experience in setting up a sort of private CVS server or SVN | |
| <Seeker`> constrictor: some | |
| <DaveMorris> some, on your own machine? | |
| <constrictor> right | |
| <Seeker`> not on my own machine | |
| <Seeker`> but i have some experience with setting one up | |
| <constrictor> now i'm trying to write a little python app and i am using pydev on eclipse | |
| <constrictor> i want to try and cvs it so that i can keep track of it because i have a feeling this might be an on/off project | |
| <constrictor> i have an ubuntu server set up on the office network (not part of the domain) | |
| <DaveMorris> personally you should be using svn as its like cvs ++, not sure if eclipse supports it though | |
| <Seeker`> constrictor: why not just keep regular backups | |
| <constrictor> and i was wondering if there were any good easy to follow tutorials on setting up a cvs repository or something of the sort | |
| <constrictor> i have been doing that for a long time | |
| * Seeker` only continues to use SVN because the company he is working for says he has to | |
| <constrictor> i stillll do | |
| <DaveMorris> http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_subversion_websvn | |
| <constrictor> i just want the experience of svn/cvs you know | |
| <constrictor> it seems like that is what is done in the real world nowadays | |
| <Seeker`> i think there is an svn package | |
| <Seeker`> which sets most of the stuff up for you | |
| <loudmouthman> yayayay ! im in dancing mood. | |
| * schwuk points people at http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/737 in case they haven't already seen it | |
| <loudmouthman> schwuk nice ! | |
| <loudmouthman> cheers | |
| <constrictor> thanks Seeker` DaveMorris | |
| <loudmouthman> wow and theres no irony that Mr Burger is asking for recipes ? | |
| * Seeker` prods loudmouthman to look at his blog. | |
| <loudmouthman> Seeker yours or mine ? | |
| <Seeker`> mine | |

| <popey> X3N controls that I think | |
| * Seeker` prods X3N. Lots. | |
| * Seeker` has now blogged about the scribes | |
| <Seeker`> popey: You can add yourself on the planet wiki page | |
| <popey> Seeker`: how? | |
| <popey> you do know I am talking about the ubuntu-uk one and not the ubuntu one? | |
| <Seeker`> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ubuntu-uk.org/planet/ | |
| <popey> oooo | |
| <popey> cool | |
| <Seeker`> i assume it hits that page and parses the list before updating each hour | |
| <popey> one would like to think so yes | |
| <Seeker`> lunchtime, i think | |
| <Seeker`> popey: Doesnt look like it worked | |
| <popey> it doesnt refresh very quickly | |

| <constrictor> now that's funny, i'm not saying this because i'm anti microsoft or anything it's just that your computer can actually tell itself to delete files | |
| <constrictor> who needs viruses | |
| <gord> its hardly a hole though, I mean if a program gets onto your computer and can run sound files then they can delete files and stuff anyway | |
| <mrben> gord: not quite - it's more if someone sends you an audio file, and you play it | |
| <DaveMorris> or in a website | |
| <constrictor> yeah | |
| <tito_linux> Lol!!! | |
| <tito_linux> This is hilarious | |
| <tito_linux> got a link? | |
| <DaveMorris> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6320865.stm | |
| <tito_linux> Hehe, Apple had this problem a while back | |
| <tito_linux> They had to have a keyword system, where you choose a keyword to activate the command. | |
| <jayteeuk> We're having a sweepstake at work. | |
| <jayteeuk> How long till the first real security hole in Vista. | |
| <jayteeuk> I don't think that counts though. :) | |
| <jayteeuk> Funny as it is. | |
| <Seeker`> its a new form of social engineering | |
| <Seeker`> try to get a user to say "delete everything" | |
| <jayteeuk> Include it in the soundtrack to a porn film. :) | |
| <tito_linux> lol | |

| <alecjw> brilliant orange opening | |
| * Seeker` prods people | |
| * alecjw jabs Seeker` with a pichfork | |
| * norf-ubu avoids all pokage and sharp instruments and falls back to sleep | |
| * alecjw pokes norf-ubu with a flexy-ruler | |
| <norf-ubu> ....................so tell me alecjw how long have you enjoyed this poking fetish ? | |
| <norf-ubu> <grins> | |
| <norf-ubu> so whats new apart from Vista able to delete files using voice ? | |
| * alecjw jabs norf-ubu with a slice of cheese | |
| <alecjw> back! back ye evil fiend! | |
| <norf-ubu> lol | |
| <norf-ubu> apparently when Vista has the | |
| <alecjw> norf-ubu, it's easier to convert windows users to ubuntu than xp users because vista concentrates maimly on graphics, which beryl can easily beat them at | |
| <alecjw> *vista users | |
| <norf-ubu> "voice activation" on - you can delete files - record a message such as "delete *.*" and let it play back from a web site - back goes c: | |
| <norf-ubu> bang* | |
| <norf-ubu> I'm doing my bit - so far introduced one person to UBUNTU who's now hosting his sites with it | |
| <alecjw> ERRROR ERROR - NO ERROR HAS OCCURRRED - THIS IS A SERIOUS ERROR. PLEASE CAUSE AN ERROR OR WINDOWS WILL SHUT DOWN TO PROTECT YOUR DATA | |
| <norf-ubu> lol | |
| <norf-ubu> usual boot script then for MS | |
| * alecjw counts on his fingers how many people he's fonverted | |
| <alecjw> 3 | |
| <alecjw> i think | |
| <norf-ubu> nice one | |
| <norf-ubu> chip chip chip away | |
| <alecjw> one's converted his main computer, the other 2, just spares | |
| <alecjw> and i've got my entire form at school intenrested in it | |
| <norf-ubu> i'm still in the transition stage | |
| <alecjw> i'm the school's linux guy | |
| <alecjw> the ict stafffear me for that reson :D | |
| <alecjw> *staff fear | |
| <norf-ubu> server is Edgy and main XP pro - but as time goes by i tend to spend more time on the server through vnc | |
| <alecjw> norf-ubu, if you dont mind me asking, how old are you? | |
| <norf-ubu> 21+vat several times | |
| <norf-ubu> 37 | |
| <alecjw> lol | |
| <alecjw> you shuld have converted far more people to ubuntu than 1 then! | |
| <alecjw> lol | |
| <norf-ubu> hey - this is my 3rd week! gimme a break! | |
| <alecjw> lol | |
| <alecjw> if you need soem advertising pics, see here: http://alecjw.no-ip.org/home/ubuntu-stuff | |
| <norf-ubu> a month ago i couldn't spell Linux........... today I is one :P | |
| <norf-ubu> cheers | |
| <alecjw> lol | |
| <alecjw> i just show people the beryl pic, and thats usually enough | |
| <norf-ubu> which is what tweaked the guys interest that went over to a LAMP server - 20 mins with a PIII with Beryl and he was sold. | |
| <alecjw> lol | |
| <alecjw> i should have a PIII, but i cant afford one - i only have a PI | |
| <alecjw> and w Wii | |
| <norf-ubu> Beryl - the woman that "sold" more ppl ubuntu than 20 years of geeks did :P | |
| <alecjw> hehehehe - true | |
| <norf-ubu> like i say - server is PIII 1Ghz - 512mb and a couple of drives - main pc is P4 2.8 with 2gb but onboard graphics :( | |
| <norf-ubu> and being a half height case - expensive to source a decent AGP card | |
| <jamesbrose_____> Hmm | |
| <norf-ubu> lots of chin scratching there | |
| <jamesbrose_____> I'm using wlan on this old test pc, keep getting "DHCPDISCOVER on Wlan0" etc.. then "No DHCPOFFERS received" | |
| <norf-ubu> jamesbrose_____: is it a telewest connection ? | |
| <jamesbrose_____> Nope | |
| <jamesbrose_____> I can't remember what I did before to get it working | |
| <norf-ubu> ok - thats blown me out of the water then | |
| <jamesbrose_____> Think i need to add the essid to /etc/networking/interfaces? | |
| <Seeker`> jamesbrose_____: What network card? | |
| <jamesbrose_____> Belkin USB.. | |
| <Seeker`> what chipset? | |
| <jamesbrose_____> Seeker`, amtel | |
| <chaddy> does it show in network-manager, jamesbrose_____? | |
| <jamesbrose_____> Ubuntu Server.. | |
| <chaddy> and what's with the long-tail, btw | |
| <chaddy> ahh, forgot that bit | |
| <jamesbrose_____> grr the drivers don't work :( | |
| <jamesbrose_____> The system knows its there, it just won't connect to the network | |
| <jamesbrose_____> yay ive done it | |
| <jamesbrose_____> ! | |
| <jamesbrose_____> :D:D | |
| <chaddy> what was the missing step? | |
| <jamesbrose_____> Restarting /etc/init.d/networking | |
| <jamesbrose_____> (..lol..) | |
| <jono_> hya | |
| <chaddy> evening jono_ | |
| <jono_> hey ch | |
| <jono_> chaddy: | |
| <chaddy> you're out of practice, they must be working you too hard ;-) | |
