<active> hi

<active> just done this sudo echo blacklist bcm43xx >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

<active> i got permission denided any ideas pleae

<darich> broadcom uggh

<active> yea

<active> any ideas

<darich> ndiswrapper!

<active> ?

<darich> or just edit the file manually

<darich> in gedit or nano

<active> how

<active> im new sorry

<darich> sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

<darich> that'll bring up the config file

<darich> and just add bcm43xx on the end

<darich> save and

<darich> voila

<darich> the kernel driver for broadcom blacklisted

<darich> which'll let you use the windows driver thru ndiswrapper

<darich> I'd use Synaptic to get hold of that

<darich> and install all the utilities as well...along with ndisgtk

<active> ok got the config file what do i do

<darich> just add bcm43xx onto the end of it

<active> add into the config file

<darich> yup

<active> do i put black list

<darich> nope

<active> thanks do will try now

<darich> actually yes

<darich> do add blacklist

<darich> heh

<darich> just had a quick check on my config file...

* darich slaps head lots

<stdin> tee is what that command was missing: "echo blacklist bcm43xx | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" would have worked

<active> how do i change dirs in the termal

<treb0r> cd

<active> then?

<treb0r> cd nameofdirectory

<active> cd home

<treb0r> for home use ~

<treb0r> or just cd

<active> im just getting not rule for target to work

<treb0r> http://www.unixguide.net/linux/linuxshortcuts.shtml

<active> im new

<treb0r> what happens if you type cd?

<active> nothing

<treb0r> good

<treb0r> now type pwd

<active> im tyoeing sudo make uninstall

<active> homw/active

<active> im on step3

<treb0r> oh my. I'm not sure I want to get into wireless drivers right now. it's too late :)

<active> if i can get pat step 3 i think im ok any ideas please

<active> no

<treb0r> hmmm. What output do you get exactly?

<active> sorted i think

<treb0r> glad to hear it.

<treb0r> Wireless can be like thew worst thing in getting a machine to work properly

<neuro_> woohoo

<neuro_> intrepid be fast

<popey> wossat?

<neuro_> my main server

<neuro_> centos, fscking love it

<popey> :)

<popey> tried it for the first time last week

<popey> also tried whitebox and fedora 6

<treb0r> I have a P4 burning my lap right now

<neuro_> popey: stick with centos if you want stability

<popey> i was more impressed with centos than whitebox tbh

<neuro_> stick with fc6 if you like new packages every bloody day

<neuro_> centos is more mature

<popey> heh

<neuro_> whitebox is in a holding pattern from what i can tell

<neuro_> whereas centos have v5 beta out today

<neuro_> well, ~ 10 hrs ago

<popey> so i see

<neuro_> based on rhel5b2 which came out in december

<neuro_> johnny hughes reckons they can ship final in 2-4 weeks

<neuro_> and rhel5 final ships tomorrow

<neuro_> exciting times

<popey> blimey

<neuro_> fedora 7 starts locking up for release in a week or two

<neuro_> as will feisty i presume

<popey> yeah, freeze soon

<neuro_> neuro@intrepid:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i bogo

<popey> what is it 3GHz pentium?

<treb0r> hehe

<neuro_> i tend not to carry machine names from hardware to hardware, but i make an occasional exception

<popey> yeah i just installed ipcop yesterday

<popey> my firewall hostname changed

<neuro_> intrepid was a ppro 200 running debian, then a piii 600 running debian, then migrated to centos, and now a p4

<popey> from "smith" - the badass guys in the matrix protecting my lan

<neuro_> brrrrrr

<neuro_> ipcop?

<neuro_> really?

<neuro_> in front of me?

<popey> to "bob", my mate who farts a lot

<neuro_> heretics!

<popey> dm saw to it that i would not touch that

<popey> although to be fair, never even looked at sw

<neuro_> he's looooooong gone

<popey> should take a look so I know what I am not using :)

<popey> sure

<popey> mud sticks

<neuro_> which is unfortunate

<popey> indeed

<popey> aaanyway

<neuro_> he still prattles on about smoothwall from time to time

<popey> yeah

<neuro_> he's working for zimbra now, scarily enough

<popey> name drops like mad

<popey> blimey

<popey> didnt know that

<neuro_> he always did that

<popey> but it makes sense given his forum posts

<neuro_> yeah, he was working for ntl:, then lucent, now zimbra

<neuro_> can't wait to see if he interacts with their user community :>

<neuro_> zomg!

<neuro_> my website be well fast now

<popey> hehe

<popey> yeah

<popey> good eyes

<neuro_> i used to support em

<neuro_> still have one here, it's my inbound smtp server

<neuro_> sitting 4 ft behind me

<popey> mate of mine gave a load away

<popey> i think i have about 7 in total :)

<neuro_> aye, get em cheap as chips from office firesales

<neuro_> and from ebay

<popey> there is one directly beneath that one

<popey> they're great little boes

<popey> +x

<popey> once you know the quirks

<neuro_> compaq SFF deskpros and SFF evos are 2 a penny on ebay as well

<popey> not too loud

<neuro_> yeah

<popey> yeah, i like them

<popey> wifey has one

<neuro_> well intrepid is now an optiplex gx270

<popey> :)

<neuro_> and a ramless/diskless precision 350 sitting beside it

<neuro_> i'll get it working eventually

<neuro_> since it's another p4

<popey> on the to-do list

<neuro_> just need to find some specific ram

<neuro_> pc600 or something stupid like that

<neuro_> "magic ram" :)

<popey> erk

<neuro_> looking forward to feisty, i may yet migrate this dimension 5150 running xp mce to feisty ...

* neuro_ lights up a fine altria product to celebrate moving hardware about

<neuro_> there was just *no* hassle at all

<popey> http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/corp/linux?s=corp ooooh

<neuro_> nicely, cheers for that

<popey> forwarded to lugmaster, hopefully should make its way around the lugs :)

<Seeker`> popey: If you have any spare cheap computers...

<popey> heh

<popey> what you after?

<popey> write my python app and you can have one for free :)

<Seeker`> what spec are they?

<popey> i have various machines kicking about

<popey> these dells are fairly low spec

<popey> do good for workhorse little servers

<popey> 192MB ram, PII 400 :)

<Seeker`> hmm

<popey> i should make a list

<popey> this one works perfectly as my domestic firewall

<popey> has one built in ethernet, and another pci card

<popey> 6GB disk

* Seeker` is looking for stuff to turn into a mythtv system

<Seeker`> but i'm not sure when i'll get around to building it...it may not be till the end of uni (june 2008)

<neuro_> cheap machines on ebay

<neuro_> p4 sff compaq evos for ~ 80 quids

<Seeker`> i'll probably end up waiting till I have a job after uni, then spending silly amounts of money on a big tv, decent speakers and some myth boxes

<Seeker`> My current TV is a ~10 year old 14" CRT that I got from ASDA with money from Christmas

<Seeker`> so i'm quite looking forward to getting a nice shiny new big thing when I have money

<stdin> I just realised that my monitor is quite a but bigger than my TV, not I'm thinking about getting a TV card

<Seeker`> my PC monitor is a 15" TFT, but from my bed it looks smaller than my TV

<popey> when I was a student I bought a sony 14" telly

<popey> that was ~16 years ago

<popey> I still have it

<popey> perfect, best telly I ever bought

<stdin> I got a 17'' CRT (old, but works), and my TV is a 15''

<Seeker`> my gf broke the volume down button on my TV :(

<Seeker`> so now I can change channels and turn the volume up without the remote

<Seeker`> but when something loud comes on I have to go searching for my remote :(

<Seeker`> hmm, apparently the 21/7 bombs were never designed to go off, only to go pop

<Seeker`> if thats the case, why didn't they just take 2 litre bottles of coke and shake them up loads

<popey> says the man defending taking a bomb on the underground?

<Seeker`> if you make a hole in jst the right place, the bottle will spin on the ground like a caffinated catherine wheel

<Seeker`> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6446407.stm

<Seeker`> you can also make coke go everywhere by putting a load of crushed polos in

<stdin> yeah, that's fun :P

<stdin> works best in the cheep brands, as they're more fizzy

<jayteeuk> Night all.

<AndrewB> nn jayteeuk

<AndrewB> Seems to get quiet in here by night

<stdin> everyone's asleep

<loudmouthman> Hey Seeker`

<loudmouthman> points to anyone who can tell me what S2D2 means and what film I grabbed it from ?

<Seeker`> loudmouthman: Typo in your post

<Seeker`> If you would like an example here is the current uptime on a Poweredge 2650 delivered back in back in 2005.

<loudmouthman> bugger firebirds spellcheker fills me again

<loudmouthman> done thanks

<Seeker`> loudmouthman: Same stuff, different day?

<loudmouthman> family friendy correct . but what film ?

<Seeker`> hmm

<loudmouthman> A Clue it had Morgan Freeman and Jason Lee.

* GazzaK just finished a donation to PDPC

<Seeker`> Deeamcatcher?

<GazzaK> when you donate, you can put a "from channel" field, I put #ubuntu-uk

<AndrewB> :)

<loudmouthman> yep

* AndrewB can't remember where he put..

<Seeker`> :D

<AndrewB> Either #tuxhacker or #libervis

<AndrewB> Oh well, not really important I suppose.

<GazzaK> AndrewB, tuxhacker

<AndrewB> how can you tell?

<GazzaK> probably

<AndrewB> Oh

<AndrewB> heh, I am not sure if that was set up then tho..

<AndrewB> TH is fairly new.

<GazzaK> @tuxhacker/pdpc.supporter.student.AndrewB is your cloak

<AndrewB> GazzaK: yeah I used to just be @pdpc.supporter.student.andrewb

<AndrewB> Then when the TH group started I got added.

<GingerDog> hello.

<AndrewB> Hey GingerDog.

<GazzaK> hey GingerDog morning

<loudmouthman> morning gingerdog

<GingerDog> why don't any of the regional pages under : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam link to the respective LUGs?

<AndrewB> GingerDog: cause we should not be linked to specific lug groups.

<GingerDog> why not?

<AndrewB> a LoCo group is different to a LUG.

<loudmouthman> Gingerdog what up with the links ?

<loudmouthman> and AndrewB is correct Loco is not Lugo but I dont think theres a problem with adding links I just think popey quite wisely linked to lug.org.uk which means less to directly manage.

<GingerDog> loudmouthman: i was just askign why e.g. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/WestMidlands doesn't link to the lugs in the area

<popey> GingerDog: its a wiki

<popey> edit it and add it if you want to

<loudmouthman> ahh , uhm because its a wiki

<loudmouthman> oh what popey said. so if people want to be more concise they can be .

<GingerDog> ok fine;

<AndrewB> Infact I should add to proposed meets

<popey> i see no reason not to link to specific groups

<GingerDog> i was adding them, adn thought i'd better check incase there was an obvious reason why they weren't listed

<loudmouthman> Gingerdog. hows the SalesPitch go with cps ?

<GingerDog> loudmouthman: i've not heard anything back from them...

<loudmouthman> well im meeting tommorow with them and the other development team which should be interesting since they are promoting a wholey Access 2003 answer.

<GingerDog> :)

<loudmouthman> Poor client is getting the old two it guys bickering feeling. Im all for the dev team doing a job just the right job and not misrepresenting ideas based on their own limited skill sets and not the technology.

* GingerDog nods

<schwuk> anyone seen/using gimmie? http://beatnik.infogami.com/Gimmie

<AndrewB> schwuk: I have used it once.

<schwuk> AndrewB: that good?

<GingerDog> looks interesting

<loudmouthman> no. but thats a nice vision of what my clients think like when they view a desktop.

<loudmouthman> hmm id buy that for a $

<AndrewB> It is a great idea, but it is very much still in testing.

* GingerDog only came across : http://www.gnome.org/projects/tracker/ this morning

<loudmouthman> thats what they say about me !

<loudmouthman> haha my blog smack in the middle of shuttleworth and bacon on the planet. its like its planned!

<AndrewB> hehe

<GazzaK> loudmouthman, hehe

* AndrewB ain't on the ubuntu planet... yet

* GazzaK thinks about stealing Mark's dragon graphic

<loudmouthman> or, you could write and ask him if you could take a copy . you never know ?

<Seeker`> pfft, who wants legit copies :P

<popey> it is, thanks

<popey> http://alecjw.googlepages.com/

<popey> ta

<deiaccord> was just typing that out...

<deiaccord> not figured how to cut-paste into irssi in a terminal window yet :)

<popey> middle mouse click

<deiaccord> trackball, no middle button :(

<deiaccord> http://alecjw.googlepages.com/cubuntu-commandlineubuntu

<deiaccord> ahh, sorted :)

<popey> both mouse buttons together = middle mouse button :)

<deiaccord> yea, must have not got them quite together when I did it last night

<Seeker`> shift + insert pastes as well

<deiaccord> was wondering if enlightenment was the problem but seems not!

<Seeker`> hmm

<Seeker`> have problems with apt-get upgrade

<gord> sounds like the deb is corrupted

<Seeker`> subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1

<gord> or not

<gord> how have you managed to not have the shutil? it comes with python itself?

<Seeker`> i dont knoiw

<popey> what other packages are in the upgrade?

<popey> any python ones you can manually apt-get install before you do this one again?

<Seeker`> dont think so

<Seeker`> i'm letting synaptic have a go now

<Seeker`> hmm

<Seeker`> if i use aptitude i get this

<Seeker`> The following packages have unmet dependencies: libgnomevfs2-0: Depends: libgnomevfs2-common (>= 1:2.18) but 1:2.17.91-0ubuntu1 is installed and it is kept back. libgnome2-0: Depends: libgnome2-common (>= 2.18) but 2.17.92-0ubuntu1 is installed and it is kept back. libgnomevfs2-extra: Depends: libgnomevfs2-common (>= 1:2.18) but 1:2.17.91-0ubuntu1 is installed and it is kept back.

<popey> sudo apt-get install libgnomevfs2-common

<popey> what does that do?

<popey> I suspect you should do a dist-upgrade, not upgrade

<popey> should-have

<Seeker`> am trying dist-upgrade now

<popey> i always dist-upgrade, never upgrade

<Seeker`> can you reinstall packages without removing them

<popey> yes

<popey> sudo apt-get install <foo> --reinstall

<popey> iirc

<gord> mr shuttleworths latest blog entry is defiantly one that makes you sit there and nod your head in agreement

<GazzaK> yep

<GazzaK> sure is

<Seeker`> hmm, this isn't working

<popey> ?

<popey> pastebin the output?

<Seeker`> hmm, may have fixed it

<Seeker`> I changed /usr/bin/python to link to python2.5 instead of python2.4, and now it seems to be resolving the problems

<gord> your on feisty right? might cause problems using python2.5 on edgy n stuff

<Seeker`> i am on feisty

<gord> I thought 2.5 was the default on feisty? sure is for me.. if you changed the python symlink to point to 2.4 then you did silly stuff in the first place :P

<Seeker`> i dont remember doing it

<popey> alan@wopr:~$ ls -l `which python`

<Seeker`> but then again, it took me 3 attempts to get out of the house before I managed to remember everything i needed

<popey> ohhh you mean are *we*? :)

<daviey> popey, anybody *here*?

<popey> I am not, no

<Seeker`> popey: Pedant :P

<popey> Seeker`: no, picky.

<popey> :)

<daviey> can i have a 'no' from everybody please?

<Seeker`> 'no'

<anto9us> no

<popey> you wont get a no from everybody

<loudmouthman> no

<popey> I know a couple of people who are if that helps

<anto9us> hi everyone

<loudmouthman> and I was

<daviey> popey, i'm so glad i asked a question ;)

<mrben> daviey: no

<loudmouthman> but i got tired of the rather boring flyers and unimaginative seminars.

<popey> and expensive seminars

<daviey> I was kidding about the 'no' thing btw. Can't you hear the sarcasm in my voice?

<anto9us> no

<loudmouthman> sarcasm , amongst the geek community. wow how ironic would that be ?

<daviey> loudmouthman, actually thats what i wanted to know. Where the seminar's and flyers/newsletters worth it

<loudmouthman> no.

<popey> apparently not, no

<gord> no?

<popey> NO!

<loudmouthman> Non

<daviey> Nein?

<gord> いいえ

<popey> http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/No

<daviey> reckon somebody made a app especially for that picture?

<popey> there are many faked dialogs on that site

<popey> http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Windows "A typical Windows XP desktop."

<jayteeuk> Morning all.

<gord> hehe

<popey> the page on linux is funny - see a typical linux user

<popey> http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu :)

<Seeker`> Woo, I think my computer is now working

<popey> http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_forks :)

<deiaccord> I might set that as a users desktop wallpater and see what happens :p

<deiaccord> the windows erros one that is

<popey> heh

<Seeker`> hmm

<Seeker`> irssi is screwed

<Seeker`> brb

<deiaccord> even KNOWING they are fake, it's still confusing trying not to close them!

<ubot3> New news from planetuk: Andrew Barber: Out of Cd's <http://www.libervis.com/blogs/23/AndrewB/out_of_cds>

<gord> I wanna use Moobuntu >:(

<loudmouthman> reminds me of the days of writting C apps which would skitter away from the mouse pointer any time you went near the cancel or close buttons. that was always so much fun.

<daviey> loudmouthman, show off, the rest of us made it in vb

<loudmouthman> well yeah I could have done that as well.

<loudmouthman> anyway off to work ... laters

<Seeker`> AndrewWilliams: Wgere do you live?

<Seeker`> woops, wrong autocomplete

<Seeker`> AndrewB: Where do you live?

<anto9us> anyone have any idea how I get these unicode characters to render in firefox? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_b

<gord> you need a font that supports the glyphs anto9us, dejavu doesn't seem to have them so the chances are pretty slim maybe

<anto9us> thanks gord, evince displays them

<popey> evince? thats pdf viewer isnt it/

<gord> really? thats... disconcerting

<anto9us> yes

<anto9us> maybe the font is embedded in the pdf

<gord> I hope so, in this day and age with all the fuss with unicode id be annoyed if applications still couldn't figure out certain locals

<anto9us> well, it's not a locale issue, linear-b is long since obselete

<gord> oh it is if unicode is in there ;) if its ever been written down, its in unicode ;)

<anto9us> yes, it's a matter of finding a font with support for those unicode characters in it

<Norf-ubu> g'day

<gord> I don't understand these people who go out lining the streets to see a royal, they must be getting paid or som't

<gord> mornin'

<GazzaK> do they have custard pies?

<gord> I sure would

<anto9us> have some sympathy, it must be awful thinking all the world smells of fresh paint

<gord> it doesn't?

<GazzaK> and grass gets painted green (true story I was there)

<anto9us> yes, and the tin said, for best results, put on two coats, I was sweating doing that work, I can tell you

<GazzaK> lol

<GazzaK> anto9us, come over to mine and help me paint, please

<anto9us> is this actual decorating or some kind of ploy to see me naked?

<GazzaK> erm, both, if you like, but really I just wanna get my house painted

<GazzaK> the rest might just be a bonus

<daviey> Anybody want to put my coveing up. I've had it >1year behind the sofa

<anto9us> I'm the clumsiest person in the world, you don't want me helping you decorate

<daviey> anto9us, i didn't say 'help' i mean't do, i cba

<anto9us> yeah, whoever invented decorating wants ****ing, conversely though, whoever invented ****ing wants decorating

<gord> argh, why do people come round my house and try to sell me crap stuff? if i want stuff i'll goto a shop >_<

<anto9us> shops are for impulse buyers too, the rest of us order off the internet

<gord> you order milk off the internet?

<GazzaK> gord, you must be answering the door in the wrong clothing then

<GazzaK> I don't have this problem

<anto9us> no, I order grains off the internet and make milk out of them using my liquidiser which I bought off the internet too

<anto9us> <--- vegan

<gord> vegan-ism is discriminatory towards cows, they want to have their milk sucked out of them and be slaughtered for my tea!

<popey> heh

<gord> they told me

<popey> mmmm beef

<GazzaK> I do like a nice bit of beef

<anto9us> I believe you, you've probably caught mad cows desease

<GazzaK> Moooooooo

<gord> mad cow diseases is good for you, scientifically bloaks prmoooved it!

<anto9us> 1st cow "what do you think to this mad cow's desease then?"... 2nd cow "It doesn't effect me, I'm a duck"

<GazzaK> 3rd cow, bloody ell, a talking cow

<anto9us> the cow is of the bovine ilk, one end is moo, the other milk ~Ogden Nash

<gord> Iv always thought that cows and elephants are very much alike, I bet elephants would go 'moo' if they didn't have that trunk distorting the sound

<GazzaK> I wonder if you could milk a elephant?

<gord> well theres only one way to find out... fiiiiight... I mean miiiiilk!

<anto9us> maybe the absense of trunk is the distorted sound, you're being elephantist and don't deny it by saying some of your best friends are elephants, I won't believe you

<daviey> grr.. i'm talking to a monkey who says he knows for a fact that the java that comes with linux is incomplete.

<anto9us> I just visualised 1 gallon bottles of elephant milk on the doorstep

<GazzaK> a talking monkey, blimey

<daviey> because it doesn't support something that even Java's jvm does't support out of the box

<anto9us> I'm impressed too, he's quite bright for a monkey

<anto9us> We've all heard that a million monkeys banging randomly and sporadically on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.

<gord> yeah, we made som't better *hugs free software* :P

<anto9us> and actually, both together too, http://opensourceshakespeare.org, so I was wrong

<gord> thats the thing about the internet, if you ever say that there isn't something, or that something is impossible. someone has already done it

<anto9us> yeah, next you'll be saying there's dwarf blue sheep or something out there somewhere, oh wait, google just returned 1,150 hits, damn!

<gord> more hits on google than there are dwarf bloo sheep in the world :(

<anto9us> and hunting is apparently the major cause for their decline

<gord> there should be a ban on hunting anything thats blue... or black and white... apart from cows cos they are tasty

<gord> mmmmmmm toast

<gord> m&ms on toast would be cool

<popey> mmm

<popey> mmmm

<popey> I am hungry now

<Seeker`> popey: I'm still Seeker`

<popey> jpc

<Seeker`> hmm, is jpc a good thing or a bad thing?

<gord> so was I, but toast solved that problem, toast could solve so many problems if people would only give it a chance

<popey> Give toast a chance!

<popey> My daughter has a bowl.. it has a picture on the inside of some peas protesting with flags - and a slogan "Give Peas a chance!"

<gord> :D

<popey> she doesn't get the peas/peace reference of couse, being only 3, so she says " and sweetcorn too!" afterwards

<Seeker`> does she understand it?

<Seeker`> hehe

<gord> boo sweetcord, yay sprouts

<gord> sweetcorn*

<popey> yummy! sprouts

<Seeker`> sprouts are good with christmas dinner

<Seeker`> and questionable at other times

<gord> most people don't like sprouts but I love em'

<popey> sprouts are good at all times

<popey> me too

<deiaccord> sprouts are ALWAYS good :)

<Seeker`> popey: When scuba diving?

<popey> oe of lifes actually tasty vegetables

<popey> s/life/nature

<gord> if I were scuba diving and I found some sprouts I would be very happy

<popey> we should have a quiz again later

<deiaccord> lol

<Seeker`> popey: About 7pm?

<popey> ok

<AndrewB> quiz?

<popey> trivia

<popey> I paste questions in here, people try to answer them quickly

* AndrewB is at scouts at 7pm heh

<popey> EVIL SCOUTS!

<AndrewB> not use a bot?

<popey> heh

<daviey> quizbot!

<popey> wont start that again

<popey> is there a quizbot?

* AndrewB used to have one.

<Seeker`> popey: Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?

<daviey> google reckons there is

<popey> Seeker`: yes

<AndrewB> It died in the great format of 06

<gord> fruit!

<AndrewB> fruit

<daviey> Seeker`, a tomato!

<AndrewB> Seeker`: where do banana's come from? ;)

<gord> the shop!

<daviey> The fruit bowl

<popey> the delivery guy

<AndrewB> </geek answers>

<popey> the internet.. I click "buy bananas" and they arrive

<AndrewB> but how did the internets gets them?

<Seeker`> AndrewB: A herbacious tree

<daviey> so, are we going to quiz peoples knowledge or their google skills? :P

<popey> well

<popey> some people can answer before others can google

* daviey will need to train his alt+tab fingers

* AndrewB can set up a irssi session and quiz.pl if you like. then its just.. !startquiz

* Seeker` wishes he had dual monitors at home...

<gord> I thought we already had an #ubuntu-trivia place for that stuff?

<Seeker`> altough laptop and desktop running seperately may work

<daviey> Is okay to have a team-mate to do the googling?

<Seeker`> daviey: I think that is going a bit far :P

<daviey> my team mate will be 2 years old tho

<gord> my teammate will be my cat! meow she says is the answer to most things and I agree

<popey> you have a cat!? I love cats, got any pics?

<anto9us> tomatoes are fruits of the nightshade genus, their stems and leaves contain arsenic and are deadly poisonous, interestingly bananas are berries and strawberries and raspberries aren't

<daviey> anto9us, your google skills are slow

<daviey> unencyclopedia?

<anto9us> I didn't google it, get your facts right, it's my brain that is slow

<gord> no pics on the net or my computer at the mo popey, I can assure you that she is the cutest kitten ever.. shes not young but never grew out of being a kitten -_-

<popey> awwww

<popey> cats rock!

<popey> http://fact.popey.com/

<gord> agreed

<gord> cat on lap.. can't reach tv... can't find remote... neighbours has come on >_<

<GazzaK> gord, haha

<gord> some guy tried to kill some people with a gun then that toad guy pushed him over which apprently knocked him out and I think he'll get shot prolly. or someone will at least

<gord> oop yes, toad person got shot

<daviey> gord, thanks! Thats the first thing i watch when i get in... now i know cheers

<daviey> I'm so pleased i've got a PVR, means i get to watch all the naff stuff that normally you'd miss

<gord> oh come on, its a soap so everything is leaked anyway and its shown in Australia 5 months before hand anyway :P

<daviey> I have around 10 eps of 'Deal Or No Deal' to watch. I don't want to

<andy101> toady got shot?

<daviey> apparently so. Nice of gord to ruin our lives

<gord> :P

<daviey> recently neighbours is better than eastenders

<andy101> don't normally watch either, used to watch neighbours a few years ago though

<popey> \o/ home

* mrben doesn't get home in time to watch Neighbours

<mrben> but I watch Home and Away most of the time

<daviey> mrben, you could record neighbours. :-S

<daviey> but how can you watch H&A?

<mrben> it's on when I get home....

<jayteeuk> Afternoon all.

<Seeker`> lo

<daviey> hmm. pick an email address. Should it be xxx.xx@xx.com or xxxxx@xx.com?

<jayteeuk> I favour the former.

<jayteeuk> But it's really up to you.

<daviey> i canny decide

* chaddy favours the latter

<gord> I like the former better, if you are doing a <firstname>.<lastname>@roar.moo type thing anyway

<jayteeuk> My previous employers set up both.

<chaddy> there's always xxx_xx@xx.com, just to further muddy the waters

<GazzaK> I have loads of alias's here

<GazzaK> it's annoying

<daviey> chaddy, thats horrible

<chaddy> isn't it though, daviey?

<chaddy> ;-)

<gord> me too gazzak, in real life my name is gordon but on irc and stuff I call myself gord, Im such a poser :(

<daviey> okay, i went with xx.xx

<GazzaK> and you gotta have a few James1@... James2@ etc's too, it makes it so much fun

<daviey> i wanted to sign up with both - but only one allowed per member :(

* jayteeuk has just taken on another alias.

<jayteeuk> Well, one of the mail groups I'm in has, after 70 of our staff were made redundant this morning. :S

<gord> lame

<Sionide> <firstname>.<lastname>@university.ac.uk and <firstname>.<lastname>@mydomain.net here

<Sionide> also <firstname>@mydomain.net

<daviey> <firstname>.<lastname>@computer.org

<daviey> <firstname>@ubuntuwire.com

<deiaccord> WhatEverILike@mydomain.com

<daviey> <firstname><lastname>@skydivers.co.uk

<daviey> bleedin' hell - i have 8 that i regularly use

<deiaccord> course, there's only me here...oh any my wife :)

<daviey> no cat?

<deiaccord> not realyl a good place to have a cat here :S

<daviey> you live on a crane?

<Sionide> deiaccord, i have catch all on too

<deiaccord> catchy all is useful fo making up email addresses for peopel that want them....and making sure they keep them to themselves

<deiaccord> daviey: busy road, would just be cruel

<GazzaK> deiaccord, attach it to a bit of bungy cord

<deiaccord> my email or the cat? :p

* daviey needs a new email provider. The main one that catches 3 forwards is really slow

<fi_> /msg nickserv set hide email on

<fi_> /msg nickserv set email mail.fiona@virgin.net

<GazzaK> fi_, miss out the first space

<fi_> thanks

<andy101> but now everyone knows your email anyway ;)

<GazzaK> it's safer to type those commands in the freenode services window

<fi_> ah well don't send me anything scary

<fi_> aha! just found how to get to that window - ta

<chaddy> deiaccord: you could just have a house cat or two, they adapt quite well

* jayteeuk has four.

<GazzaK> my cat refuses to go outside now

<daviey> fi_, are you on virgin?

<chaddy> one of ours runs out into the close occasionally, but he thinks outdoors is upstairs, so he doesn't get much out of it

<jayteeuk> My cats like to play in the garden and a couple of them always go and explore when the front door's open, but none of them go any further than that.

<GazzaK> daviey, you should be a detective you know

<fi_> I'm connected on BT but I still use virgin for email - they seem willing to keep old mail accounts going forever

<daviey> GazzaK, i had a virgin.net addy - and have never been a virgin ;)

<daviey> fi_, they aint!! they will pull it

<GazzaK> i'm sure you were once, a long time ago, in a world far far away

<deiaccord> chaddy: I grew up on a very quiet road near cliff paths. I know other people have cats in places like our but it just woulnd not seem right to me

<daviey> fi_, i had an account with them - used the for loads of stuff. One day stopped working. They said it was because i didn't dial in

<fi_> ah - I dial in every so ften to keep it active - it only has to be once a year or so

<chaddy> deiaccord: fair do's, I sometimes get guilt pangs when ours stare out of the windows... on the whole they are happy, though

<daviey> fi_, wish they warned me tho!

<fi_> nods that was pretty bad of them daviey

<daviey> the best part is - the account is still locked their end - so i can't resign up with it;

<fi_> they weren't willing to unlock it once you called them? That seams pretty weak...

<daviey> for sure; i was really annoyed. I told them that is was like taking away my postal address.

<deiaccord> that's the biggest reason I have my own domain. I the ISP are an arse I can move it

<jamesbrose> afternoonie all

<X3N> good afternoon

<X3N> I wonder where GazzaK is

<jamesbrose> work?

<X3N> tusk tusk

<GazzaK> X3N, :p

<X3N> has someone given you a job to do or something GazzaK ?

<GazzaK> nope, I'm sleeping

<GazzaK> why do you ask?

<GazzaK> am I not harassing you enough?

<Seeker`> lo X3N

<GazzaK> arghhhh I hate my new passport photo

<GazzaK> http://farm1.static.flickr.com/187/421138150_f5f55770a1_m.jpg

<X3N> no you're not

<X3N> i'm not feeling the love enough :(

<X3N> looks like someone airbrushed in your skin

<jamesbrose> Gazzak, hehe. I had to do mine a few months ago, its so terrible... Japan in 17 days!

<GazzaK> X3N, where

* GazzaK give X3N some loving

<daviey> jamesbrose, do you need a visa to go there?

<jamesbrose> daviey, don't think so... Its only for 2 weeks. I need to pay 20 'environmental' tax though

<daviey> jamesbrose, answered myself - no for 90 days

<daviey> jamesbrose, hope you will 'carbon offset'. ;)

<Seeker`> does MythTV work with analogue cards?

<daviey> Seeker`, yes

<Seeker`> daviey: does it work well?

<daviey> yes

<daviey> Seeker`, have you go the card already?

<X3N> +t

<daviey> Seeker`, ??

<GazzaK> X3N, where does it look like my skin is airbrushed?

<X3N> your face

<X3N> were you wearing makeup :p

<X3N> maybe you have immaculate skin

<X3N> i don't actually know what i'm talking about, i was just making conversation

<jamesbrose> lol

<jamesbrose> it looks rendered to me

<jamesbrose> :D

<X3N> high 5

<jayteeuk> brb

<X3N> eFive

<daviey> Seeker`, you arn't very good at conversations are you?

<GazzaK> X3N, ahh, it was a filter on the scanner :-)

<X3N> ohh

<GazzaK> but my skin is the nicest it has been for years, I blame the healthy diet I am on now

<X3N> i did a drawring with skin done with an air brushed tool

<GazzaK> fresh fruit and veg :-)

<X3N> it looked pretty realistic

<X3N> http://photos.x3n.me.uk/Art/dude1.jpg <// there

<X3N> my skin is pretty good too, i blame being a vegetarian

<daviey> Who's skin is better?

<X3N> no idea

<GazzaK> X3N, don't give up your schooling :p

<X3N> meanie

<X3N> :p

<GazzaK> X3N, well :p

<dsas> this dell questionnaire is confusing.

<dsas> I'm not sure on question 3 whether or not I'm only supposed to have one "rank one" answer. if not then what is the point?

<X3N> just put 5 or something

<X3N> GazzaK smells

<GazzaK> X3N, :'(

<X3N> of fresh air

<X3N> fell for that one bahah

* Sionide prods X3N with a stick

<Sionide> haha

<Sionide> i should air brush all my photos

<Seeker`> daviey: Sorry, am at work. No, I dont have the card already

<X3N> hello Sionide

<daviey> Seeker`, oh okay; grab one that does the mpeg processing onboard. Slightly more expensive - but takes the strain from the cpu

<Sionide> doing alright X3N ? when's your easter break start?

<Sionide> am back home on monday, till next saturday

<X3N> 30th of march

<X3N> i'm going home this weekend though

<X3N> and i've been better to be honest

* Seeker` is taking advantage of the fabulous 'take 4 days holiday and get 10 days without work' offer that is on over easter

<sheepeatingtaz> Seeker`: I've taken advantage of that one!

* Seeker` is taking the week after easter off

<Sionide> X3N, aye... just started using matlab at uni and i love it.. got a great lecturer for it though which is always helpful

<sheepeatingtaz> Mine is the week before

* Seeker` shudders at the mention of matlab

<X3N> Sionide: install scilab

<daviey> Seeker`, do you have any information on this offer, i would like to take it

<GazzaK> Seeker`, me too

<X3N> i used to work opposite mathworks, the people who make matlab

<Seeker`> we were doing graphics work with it. It uses a central license server, and the uni only has 3 licenses for a certain module. When 30 peopleare trying to use the module, it doesn't work very well

<X3N> we had a lab using matlab, it's ok, scilab is better though :)

<Sionide> X3N, err octave ?

<X3N> octave ?

<Sionide> yeah i have octave

<Seeker`> daviey, GazzaK: Take either 2nd - 5th as holiday, or the 10th - 13th

<Sionide> my lecturer recommended it, over scilab

<daviey> Is the no purchase necessary?

<X3N> is it opensource ?

<Sionide> X3N, not sure, it's in my repos

<PriceChild> Is Mr. Butler in? (I can never keep track of his different nicks)

<Seeker`> if you do the first one, you get 31st mar and 1st april off (weekend), then the 4 days you take as holiday, then the 4 day easter weekend (due to bank holidays)

<X3N> hmm

<X3N> i'll have to try it out

<X3N> scilab and matlab are pretty simular though if that interests you

<Seeker`> so you end up not going to work between 31st and 9th

<GazzaK> PriceChild, nope

<Seeker`> or, you could take the holiday on 10th - 13th

<Sionide> does scilab do GUI stuff?

<PriceChild> GazzaK, grrr

<Seeker`> and not go to work between 6th and 15th

<GazzaK> Seeker`, wooo

<Sionide> GNU Octave, version 2.1.73 (i486-pc-linux-gnu).

<Seeker`> GazzaK, daviey: Make sence?

<Sionide> yeah it's opensource X3N

<Norf-ubu> G'day

<Seeker`> s/sence/sense

<GazzaK> Seeker`, yes

<daviey> Seeker`, yeah - just teasing

<Norf-ubu> the built in VNC server on ubuntu, can it be replaced with a more flexible version ?

<daviey> Got this in an email from a new provider "You now have the advantage of our limited Virus Scanning!' woo - so pleased

<gord> limited virus scanning? how does that constitute 'security'

* gord starts offering 'limited' locks that work from 9am-5pm

<daviey> limited - we will protect you on all of last years viruses!

<GazzaK> we will protect you on all the viruses which don't effect you :p

<X3N> sounds like a good deal...

* Seeker` will sell you a rock that keeps tigers away for £100

<gord> simpsons! the one where the bear patrol is set up!

<Seeker`> gord: ssssssssh!

<daviey> Seeker`, did you just silence him?

<Seeker`> daviey: huh?

<GazzaK> yay, result

<daviey> he's gone - did you 'take him out'?

<Seeker`> no

<GazzaK> for a walk?

<daviey> for a kill?

<Seeker`> Is it possible to use a dual head setup with 1 monitor connected to onboard graphics and 1 monitor connected to a PCI-E card?

<X3N> yes

<Seeker`> X3N: How easy is it to do?

<Seeker`> X3N: And how do you do it?

<X3N> yeah

<X3N> add a new device section, screen and monitor to your xorg.conf

<X3N> then add the layout you want in the right section

<Seeker`> layout?

<X3N> then enable the xinerama module

<X3N> Section "ServerLayout"

<X3N> Identifier "Default Layout"

<X3N> Screen "Screen1" 0 0

<X3N> Screen "Screen2" LeftOf "Screen1"

<X3N> etc

<X3N> i can upload my xorg config if you want to take a gander

<X3N> it's LoudMouthMan

* X3N sets off the fireworks

<X3N> Marching band.. MARCH!

<LoudMouthMan> Ubuntu UK you'll never find a more lecherous hive of Geeks and Admins in the universe ... Hiya Everyone !

<X3N> release the loose women

*** Seeker`_ is now known as Seeker`

<Seeker`> X3N: That would be nice

* X3N wonders what lecherous means

<daviey> LoudMouthMan, how did the server job go?

<daviey> the 2 ubuntu server one

<GazzaK> LoudMouthMan, PriceChild was looking for you earlier

<GazzaK> X3N, it's what LoudMouthMan is

<LoudMouthMan> Im it went well. both of them very welll.

<GazzaK> yay

<X3N> LoudMouthMan: got some important news..

<LoudMouthMan> X3N go on ?

<X3N> GazzaK has perfect skin

<X3N> hmm that sounded less gay in my head

<GazzaK> because I am infact perfect

<GazzaK> X3N, that did however make you sound very gay

<GazzaK> here have a pink tutu

<X3N> yeah, I don't actually know if your skin is perfect from first hand experience

<X3N> i'm just going on what i've heard and seen

<daviey> We decided that blender had been used to create GazzaK

<GazzaK> come and stroke it?

<daviey> be-fore or after skin?

<GazzaK> I think it is just a very nice passport photobooth camera X3N

<X3N> hmm maybe

<X3N> where is it ? ....

<daviey> If that photo came out, i'd demand my money back - looks awful ;)

<GazzaK> but still you are welcome to come along and find out

<GazzaK> daviey, shhh

<X3N> ahaha, i bet they all come out like that, regardless of what you look like

<X3N> that would confuse the passport office

<GazzaK> X3N, http://www.colchester.lug.org.uk/pages/meetings.php come along to the first Colchester LUG beer drinking meet up?

<X3N> only 90 miles away !

<GazzaK> if it is too far, I am sure you can stay over at mine (hehe)

<X3N> you only have one bed don't you ?

<GazzaK> haha, no I have a sofa bed, plus loads of room downstairs for a sleeping bag

* GazzaK is off home, yayyayayaaaay

<X3N> it's alright, i've slept in a womb before i was born so i'm quite used to small spaces

<Seeker`> Hometime :D

<GazzaK> Seeker`, beat ya

<X3N> race !

<X3N> race ! race ! race !

<GazzaK> I live five minutes away :p

<X3N> you better hurry Seeker`

<LoudMouthMan> hmmm a point there was ?

<LoudMouthMan> wow 45 in the channel thats getting bigger .

<X3N> they've all come to see me

<Seeker`> X3N: I live 45 mins away. And my housemate isn't ready to leave yet.

<X3N> even matthew garrett (worlds angryest man) has gotten into the ubuntu-uk club

<LoudMouthMan> Wow conversatoin died quicker than a Thread discussing Ubuntu sexiness on #ubuntu-women.

<dsas> we're all contemplating mjg59s anger.

<jayteeuk> Ooh, ooh! dsas!

<jayteeuk> Sorry I went AWOL the other night.

<dsas> hi jayteeuk

<jayteeuk> How'd you get on?

<LoudMouthMan> fine go laugh at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydLiasdJeoo ;

<LoudMouthMan> anger ? what did I miss ..

<LoudMouthMan> hmm i shall go view the logs.

<dsas> hmm, with trying to help that guy?

<jayteeuk> Yeah. Petoj I think?

<LoudMouthMan> in smoe other channel ?

<dsas> yeah that's right. He' kept getting a Mount is denied because NTFS logfile is unclean." error when trying to mount it

<dsas> LoudMouthMan: in here 5 days ago.

<jayteeuk> Erk. I wouldn't have known what to do with that. :S

* LoudMouthMan gets mount is denied but usually only a few days inthe month.

<jayteeuk> Oh well.

<jayteeuk> We tried. :)

<dsas> I assumed it was some kind of problem with it not being "scan disked"

<dsas> but that was a guess. I asked him to pop in and try again if not, someone else may be able to help him.

<jayteeuk> Yep, I'd have guessed the same.

<jayteeuk> It sounds like it wasn't shut down cleanly and still has journal that needs to be recovered.

<jayteeuk> Right, I need to go AWOL again now. :)

<jayteeuk> Till about 9.

<jayteeuk> ttfn

<LoudMouthMan> bye

* GazzaK is cooking vegetable curry

<PriceChild> X3N, GazzaK won!

<GazzaK> I'm halfway through cooking and have a coffee, and chatted to my neighbour on the way in :p

<GazzaK> seriously, it takes me 5-8 minutes to get home normally

<GazzaK> I love this new place!

<GazzaK> Anyone in or near Colchester, fancy a pint on April 5th?

<GazzaK> hello popey

<popey> 20Mb will be silly

<GazzaK> they do the small med and large type thing, what will med be then?

<popey> this will be XL

<GazzaK> ahh, so med will stay the same

<GazzaK> I really do not see the point of more than 2 meg

<LoudMouthMan> with the lube as well ?

<Norf-ubu> oh dear....

<GazzaK> his lug is dead, absent LUGMasters, and he wants to gain control

<X3N> and take over the universe ?
