<brobostigon> plod: i couldnt find it inthe dictionary, and i havent seen the word before,
<plod> yeah trouble is there could be a ' in there to miss half the word out hehe
<brobostigon> ah, i see.

<plod> counting down the minutes till 17:30
<plod> this week has dragged
<brobostigon> :(
<plod> i guess cause i had such a blinder last weekend, it was inevitable

#ubuntu-cym 2011-02-05
<brobostigon> afternoonings everyone.
<Welshy-Rob> Evening all
<brobostigon> noswaith dda Welshy-Rob
<Welshy-Rob> How are we all? Long time no speak :)
<brobostigon> Welshy-Rob: i have a possible interesting project coming up, but thats about it. and you?
<Welshy-Rob> Awsome :) is it top secret then?? haha
<brobostigon> Welshy-Rob: howeevr i am fine, myhip hurts, and my back, and my eczema has calmed down. how about you?
<Welshy-Rob> im good thanks :) been offered a place in Glamorgan uni !!
<Welshy-Rob> and kingston in london ;)
<brobostigon> Welshy-Rob: IT for the company my dad is going to form.
<brobostigon> thats good to hear, :)
<brobostigon> well done,
<Welshy-Rob> Sweeet that will keep you busy and glad to hear it ^^^
<Welshy-Rob> brobostigon, Thanks :)
<brobostigon> i would agree, yes, maybe busy.
<Welshy-Rob> brobostigon, is  ianto still about?
<brobostigon> Welshy-Rob: should be, yes. you just need to catch him when he is around.
<Welshy-Rob> Ah Fairs :)
<brobostigon> he is around often.
<Welshy-Rob> brobostigon, know anything about programming??
<Welshy-Rob> or anyone else??
<brobostigon> Welshy-Rob: can you be more specific. programming is a big subject, and varied interpretations.
<Welshy-Rob>  brobostigon,  well as a college project im thinking about writing a keylogger in python possibly C#  (as an practical joke to my subject teacher who dosent think i can pull it off) but yeh i dont really know how to go about it :/
<brobostigon> Welshy-Rob: it would have to be a module inside xorg, as xorg manages keyboard input.
<Welshy-Rob> umm okay :) ill look into it
<Welshy-Rob> ...
<brobostigon> that is if it uses xorg that is.
<Welshy-Rob> probably xorg controls the mouse and screen ( i belive)
<brobostigon> well xorg does the basic graphical output, mouse and keyboard, and its basic interaction. yes.
<brobostigon> however, many other components are probebly involved in keyboard setup.
<Welshy-Rob> humm think its too much of a challange my self?
<brobostigon> howeevr i am thinking xorg, as your keystrokes travel via underlying pickup, and have to go via xorg to go to gui apps.
<brobostigon> but i maybe totally wrong.
<brobostigon> Welshy-Rob: ot stick a module in the kernel, which does basic hw pickup.
<brobostigon> or*
<Welshy-Rob> brobostigon,  okayy sounds a bit too complex for me xd
<brobostigon> Welshy-Rob: i amsure using enough research andlogic, you canwork it out.
<Welshy-Rob> im am sure i can...given a bit of time xD
<brobostigon> definatly. :)
#ubuntu-cym 2011-02-06
<brobostigon> nos da, sleep well everyone.

<TonyBurn> afternoon

<brobostigon> morning everyone.
#ubuntu-cym 2011-02-08
<brobostigon> afternoonings everyone,
<p_masho> evening all.
<brobostigon> noswaith dda p_masho
<ianto> Evenin'
<brobostigon> noswaith dda ianto
<ianto> Ti'n iawn brobostigon?
<brobostigon> ianto: not too shabby, but could be better, tired and frustrated, and not sleeping properly, how abou you?
<ianto> brobostigon: Using workflowy.com to organise the next few days of my computing programming project (deadline Friday)
<ianto> I've also registered sgwrsio.co.uk lately for a project
<brobostigon> :)
<p_masho> fin hapus now catref.. a connection...
 * p_masho BT is a horrendous company to deal with as an IT developer caught between BT inbound "support?" and an MD ripping what is left of his hair out... anyway..
<arthurL> Noswaith dda ^_^
<ianto> arthurL: I am disappoint :(
<arthurL> ?
<ianto> arthurL: YOu weren't at Hacio'r Iaith
<brobostigon> noswaith dda arthurL :)
<p_masho> is there a meeting coming up in Aberystwyth?  or have I missed it ?
<arthurL> ianto: When was this?
<arthurL> Noswaith dda, brobostigon :)
<ianto> arthurL: 28/01/11
<ianto> p_masho: There was an event called Hacio'r Iaith at Aberystwyth, a few of us went to attend it http://hedyn.net/wici/Hacio'r_Iaith_-_Ionawr_2011#Pryd.3F
<arthurL> Oh yeah, exams that day :(
<ianto> p_masho: BT is a fun company at times, if you forget to pay the bill and they disconnect you, you can still use port 22 for SSH and a SOCKS proxy
<ianto> Ah, 29/1/11 even, not 28
<arthurL> Srs? I thought that if you're disconnected, the entire service was cut off :/
<ianto> Hacio'r Cyri doens't count ;)
<arthurL> Yeah, exams that day too :(
 * arthurL had a lot of them
<arthurL> and they unerringly sucked.
<ianto> arthurL: They don't fully disconnect you they just put up a paywall preventing you from browsing the net
<ianto> At least for a week or two
<arthurL> Ha, I'll remember this
<p_masho> ianto: sucks to neffodd... and If you get an engineer on site and there is a fault, he fixes it, if no fault its 170 for false callout (previous has no compensation clause)..
<ianto> arthurL: Just sat the Welsh exam for Aber today, went fairly well but the first question was solid, other than that I reckon I got between 70 to 80%
<arthurL> Cwl :)
<ianto> Any idea what your marks were for your merit?
<arthurL> ianto: They don't tell you :(
<ianto> They tell the college though
<arthurL> Then again I don't want to be told
<arthurL> WHAT.
<ianto> Like UCAS don't tell you your estimated grades but the Aber lecturers told me my grades
<ianto> arthurL: They send your results to the head of school in the college when they send you a letter to confirm/deny your merit/scholarship
<arthurL> I got the letter to confirm but I was never told about results
<arthurL> Ever.
<arthurL> Oh well, it's too far in the past to care
<ianto> I might nag the college to find out :)
<ianto> When they get them
<ianto> PRobably won't bother telling me but it's worth a try
<arthurL> I just assumed that they would actually send me the results but that never happened
<arthurL> I suppose I didn't care much when I got the merit award
<arthurL> Also, monitor setup as of today: http://lomax.ath.cx/temp/awwwwyeah.jpg
<arthurL> Left = 20", right = 24"
<ianto> Odd way of setting up the left monitor
<ianto> Very cool though
 * p_masho wicked ianto.. that page translated yn daa into cymraeg..
<arthurL> It's for reading code and stuffs
<arthurL> Awesome thing is that I can rotate it freely
<arthurL> The only bad thing is that the big one has a stuck pixel right in the middle
<arthurL> If it was in the corner I wouldn't care that much
<Guest30821> ianto: your coming to aber?
<ianto> Guest30821: It's likely, I only need 220 for straight Welsh or 260 for Welsh & InterPol
<Guest30821> cool :)
<ianto> Considering I need a B in Welsh to be accepted and I'm doing Welsh Bacc which is worth an A at A level, 220 is in the bag already, with Computing at grade B/C-ish, 260 is well easy
<Mr__T> meepmeep
<ianto> Roadrunner?
<Mr__T> no, just me
<Mr__T> happy birthday for the other day
<Mr__T> a year flies
 * brobostigon plays the happy birthday song.

<Mr__T> worked for a friend
<arthurL> I'll give all suggestions a try. I'm kind of desperate to get rid of it :P
<arthurL> I think I'll try running JScreenFix on it overnight and see if that does anything :/
<Kaia> arthurL: is this the free monitor you are giving away lol
<ianto> Anyone here understands how to develop a program in C with gettext support?
#ubuntu-cym 2011-02-09
<arthurL> Kaia: Nope, it's a brand new one -_-
<arthurL> JScreenFix overnight was a no-go
<brobostigon> afternoonings everyone.
<brobostigon> afternoonnings ianto and Luinar
<brobostigon> :)
<ianto> Hi you two
<Luinar> Hey. :-)
<Luinar> Thought I'd drop by and check out the Welsh chan.
<ianto> brobostigon: Did you see the comment in the politics chan?
<ianto> Luinar: Ah cool, you from Wales too?
<brobostigon> ianto: i am just reading it,
<Luinar> Yeah... well, not originally. Moved here 5 years ago when I went to uni and just never left!
<ianto> Ah brilliant, what uni was it?
<Luinar> Aberystwyth
<ianto> Heh, we have a lot of people in here at Aberystwyth or have/are studied/studying there
<Luinar> Oh, cool. :)
<Luinar> I'm actually back doing a Masters now.
<ianto> Oh cool, in CompSci?
<Luinar> Nope, in History of all things. I just like tinkering around with computers in my spare time.
<ianto> I've just finished a Welsh exam paper for the Aberystwyth scholarships and I'm doing the CompSci one tomorrow
<ianto> Hopefully I'll get a merit or scholarship then I'll eventually be one of the Ubuntu Aberystwyth alumni ;)
<Luinar> Ah... pob lwc!
<Luinar> I got in on a merit scholarship for my undergrad.
<Luinar> They're well worth taking the exams for!
<ianto> Yeah, all of my mates who've done it in the past have gotten the merit award so hopefully I will too. I feel rather confident about the Welsh exam that I've done, thinking that I had about 75%
<ianto> Not sure what the grade target is for merits
<Luinar> Hmm, I'm not sure how they grade the scholarship exams either. They never told me what score I got, only that I received a merit.
<Kaia> Hello :D
 * Kaia pats arthurL
<brobostigon> afternoonings Kaia :)
<Kaia> Luinar: hello :D I'm an Aber student also :)
<Luinar> Hey. :)
<Kaia> I know a history masters student :O you might know him
<Luinar> What do you study?
<Luinar> Oh? What's their name?
<Kaia> Computer Science
<Kaia> Luinar: Kris Lovell, do you know him?
<Luinar> Hmm, doesn't ring a bell I'm afraid... I am terrible with names though!
<Kaia> haha
<Kaia> i'll PM you a picture
<Kaia> nice middle name Luinar
<Luinar> :D thanks
<Kaia> were your parents pink floyd fans by any chance?
<Kaia> do you recognise him?
<Luinar> I do now, yes! We haven't spoken much through. Is he doing PhD?
<Luinar> My mum had been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd when I was born. She though I'd grow up to hate it, but I think it's awesome.
<Luinar> *thought
<Kaia> I'm not sure, he's my signpost mentor
<Kaia> awwww
<Kaia> I found you on facebook, we have 1 mutual friend, Sue McAusland
<Kaia> shwmae Mr__T
<Mr__T> hola
<Luinar> Heh, small world eh, Kaia?
<Kaia> yep, Mr__T is an aber grad
<Mr__T> ^__^
<Kaia> ^show off :P

<Mr__T> I guess there's a bot activated by commands starting with ^
<brobostigon> !8ball is ianto a god?
<uc_tumbleweed> brobostigon: It is possible.
<brobostigon> :)
<Kaia> !8ball is Luinar scared of us?
<uc_tumbleweed> Kaia: No clue.
<Kaia> lol
<Kaia> 16:02 <lubotu3> Your edit request has been forwarded to #ubuntu-irc.  Thank you for your attention to detail

<Narcissus> ianto: IP address of ubuntu-cym.org is changing
<ianto> Narcissus: Ah cool ok thanks for letting us know
<ianto> Narcissus: Any idea what to yet?
<Narcissus> (502)257-5948
<Narcissus> it'll switch over on the 18th Feb
<ianto> Going to that IP in my browser loads up the homepage anyway..
<Narcissus> because that's the first entry in httpd.conf
<Narcissus> I've already migrated your site to the new server
<Narcissus> you just need to change the A record of ubuntu-cym.org to (502)257-5948 before the 17th
<Narcissus> and then receive a PM from me with your new password for the new server
<ianto> Gonna have to go through the whole Ubuntu-eu process again... 8-)
<dariusH> Ola
<dariusH> anyone about?
<ianto> Na
<dariusH> Bad answer
<ianto> dariusH: Fancy doing me a favour? ;)
<dariusH> depends what it is :P
<ianto> dariusH: Write in pseudocode an algorithm that finds all the prime numbers from 1 - 1000 ;)
<dariusH> why?
<ianto> dariusH: Aber exam tomorrow, I dunno the maths behind it
<dariusH> well a prime is a number that can only be divided by 1 and itself
<dariusH> so you'd create a for loop to go through each number
<dariusH> then in that loop try dividing that number by different numbers if it passes that it's a prime
<dariusH> to pastebin
<Mr__T> Mae Llewellyn y llyfrgellydd o Lanelli wedi llyfu llawer o lyfaint
<Mr__T> llewellyn the librarian from llanelli licked a lot of toads
<dariusH> how do you do a for loop in pseudocode :S
<ianto> i dunno, whenever I try to pseudocode it comes out looking like a C program without the preprocessor #include
<dariusH> http://pastebin.com/LNESrgcq
<dariusH> something along those lines
<dariusH> bizarre pseudocode yes, but oh well
<dariusH> that's the general just of it
<dariusH> gist*
<dariusH> could even switch //is prime to add the number to a stack for extra points
<dariusH> but that's overkill for this exam really
<ianto> http://pastebin.com/CxQdy9SE = what I have
<ianto> Oops, line 13 should be 		if currentCount divided by currentPrimes has no remainder
<dariusH> i don't remember this question being in my exam
<dariusH> what papers this off?
<dariusH> oh it was
<dariusH> lol
<dariusH> ianto: what VPS are you using? and how much is it?
<ianto> dariusH: fsckvps.com at $8.50/mo
<ianto> (15% discount)
<dariusH> how the discount?
<ianto> Because I asked for it
<dariusH> all i want it a git server for backup at the moment
<dariusH> i literally have no available money to spend :(
<ianto> Well can't you use some git hosting company?
<ianto> Some offer private ones
<dariusH> because i'd rather have a VPS
<ianto> Check out here http://www.fsckvps.com/hosting/
<ianto> I can get you 15% discount if you want it
<ianto> Be warned they take their tiem with cancellation
<ianto> So if you need to cancel do it about 5 days before your billing ends
<ianto> *billing period
<dariusH> suppose that is only Â£5 a month
<ianto> They may take like 24 hours to setup as well though depending on if anyone's working or not
<dariusH> says on the homepage 2 hours
<dariusH> might do that
<dariusH> atleast for a month to test
<dariusH> i'd prefer a UK based one (say in sovereign house) but they're hugely expensive compared to america
<arthurL> dariusH: Here's some C for the prime thing: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Y2m4K5qg
<arthurL> In case you haven't cracked it yet
<arthurL> Good grief, just realised how horrid the comments are...
<arthurL> I did write this about 3 years ago...
<dariusH> reckon IS would let me host a server? :P
<arthurL> I don't see why not
<dariusH> although that negates hte point of having it
<arthurL> so long as it isn't a torrent slave or somesuch
<dariusH> i wanted to back up outside the aber network
<dariusH> well mainly off central (far too unpredictable)
<arthurL> Even when central is out of commission the webernets still work fine
<dariusH> other problems being only 1 ethernet port and no wifi in pjm, i'd have to passthrough, and i'd have to relocate in summer, and i'm not paying the electricity bill for that :P
<arthurL> Spare wireless router?
<dariusH> nope, not one that works and doesn't make a horrible high pitched noise anyway
<arthurL> heh
<dariusH> plus even that's at home at hte moment, my parents can't hear the noise and claim it's not there :(
<arthurL> Wait, that C code was for Chris
<arthurL> HURRRR
<arthurL> Anywho, I'd run the server at home like I'm doing
<arthurL> Also, I've learnt today that this stuck pixel isn't a stuck pixel. It's two dead sub-pixels :c
<arthurL> o/ ianto
<ianto> \o arthurL
<arthurL> And because only one pixel is affected, they will refuse to replace it :(
<arthurL> Oh, cruel fate!

<Welshy-Rob> Hello, my ubuntu (10.10)  seems to be running really slowly on my system, i can only run about two programs at once and it still manages to crash now this could be because i have a pretty poor pc but the previous version of ubuntu used to run so much faster! is there anything you can suggest i do?
<markjones_> try xubuntu
<Welshy-Rob> markjones, how?
<markjones> burn a CD? ;)
<Welshy-Rob> sweet
<markjones> Welshy-Rob, sorry, get Lubuntu
<Welshy-Rob> markjones, okayy thnx
<arthurL> Or just install a different desktop environment
<arthurL> 10.10 runs that Unity malarky, right?
<arthurL> It'll be rather slow since it's new and being worked on
<Welshy-Rob> ah okay, is there a way i can somehow keep my data and just over write the kernal with a different one?
<Welshy-Rob> or will i have to format?
<arthurL> You can compile your own kernel and use that without losing any data providing you do it right
<arthurL> I have never done it myself so I wouldn't know how to go about doing that
<arthurL> but Google might :3
<Welshy-Rob> haha okay cool :)
<Welshy-Rob> really cant be asked to go through the whole backing up and formatting xD
<arthurL> I'd backup anyway since there's plenty of room for error
<arthurL> The minimum reqs for Ubuntu seem to keep increasing with each new version so if your machine is lacking - per se - I'd consider a different distro like Arch or Gentoo. They're quite advanced but worth learning about.
<Welshy-Rob> okayy sounds good, i have no where to backup to though haha my disks are practically bursting
<arthurL> In that case, it's down to you as to whether or not you go through with this without a backup ;)

<ianto> chippanfat: Aye I'm alright like, how's the conversion coming?
<chippanfat> uchhh :P
<chippanfat> having trouble getting my second moniter working :(
<ianto> You using the correct drivers and not the OSS ones?
<chippanfat> downloaded the drivers from the gpu card but i have to disable x server
<chippanfat> I have to disable x server to be able to install the nvidia drivers and its having non of it :(
<chippanfat> given up now, on my ubuntufied laptop :)
<chippanfat> gonna install openSUSE on my servers too so i can vm ubuntu 10.04 :)
<ianto> chippanfat: Why not use the drivers in the repo instead of the official ones from the website?
<chippanfat> I did't think of doing that. I just instantly searched for "450gts drivers, linux"
<ianto> chippanfat: use jockey-gtk ;)
<chippanfat> ahhh?
<ianto> chippanfat: The restricted hardware drivers thing in the admin panel
<chippanfat> i'll do research into it tomorow :)
<chippanfat> i could never get into ubuntu properly cause of the gui, but i've got it set up nice now :D
<chippanfat> got dockey on the bottom and some nice apps like empathy and vlc for my daily stuff :)
<chippanfat> getting more into it now :D
<chippanfat> makes me smile inside :P
<ianto> Fair enough; I've been binge-eating today. Gone through a packet of aero, a shepherd's pie (microwave), Pot Noodle GTi, 2L bottle of coke and an 8 pack of cheese-strings and almost an entire packet of Gold bars :D
<ianto> In like 3hrs
<chippanfat> fair play son !
<chippanfat> eating out of boredom?
<ianto> Just a bit hungry like and bore yeah ;)
<chippanfat> :D
<chippanfat> you familiar with phpmyadmin on ubuntu darling?
<ianto> chippanfat: Yeah I've used it a bit
<chippanfat> did you ever have a #2002 problem?
<chippanfat> says the server isnt responding ? or the local mySQL server socket isnt configured properly?
<chippanfat> i'm not sure what to do about sorting out the sockets in ubuntu see or the apps in ubuntu
<ianto> Are you using MySQL from the repo and phpmyadmin?
<chippanfat> I have researched into it :)
<chippanfat> using xampp i am
<ianto> Or are you going out of your way again...
<chippanfat> wocha mean out of my way? :P
<ianto> Downloading .tar.gz's off the net
<chippanfat> yeahh :)
<chippanfat> then extract to /opt
<ianto> aptitude exists for a reason, people spend ages packaging .debs for your convenience :(
<chippanfat> I'll delete xampp now and install it through synaptic :)
<ianto> chippanfat: Btw use the Ubuntu wiki for MySQL stuff, lots of stuff on there ;)
<chippanfat> okiedokie :D i'll have a gander now babes
<chippanfat> am i right in looking for all the "mod_php5" bollocks?
<ianto> chippanfat: Sorry internets reset, did you get that help.ubuntu.com link?
<chippanfat> ianto: sorry bro, my nets pissing about !
<chippanfat> ianto: brb a sec, gonna go hunting for a spare rj :)
<ianto> chippanfat: Sorry internets reset, did you get that help.ubuntu.com link?
<chippanfat> ianto: hopefully thats sorted it out :) and I did't get the link :(
<ianto> chippanfat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#To install the default LAMP stack in Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron), 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex), 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope), 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
<chippanfat> I'll see if i can follow that through now :)
<chippanfat> whats the tesksel command? :)
<chippanfat> i cba to go off looking at that for the time being
<ianto> Tasksel is basically a command to help setup a box to do something
<ianto> Like a LAMP server or perhaps installing hte Ubuntu Desktop ontop of Ubuntu Server
<ianto> Setup a mail-server too
<ianto> "tasksel --list" would give you a list of commands
<ianto> Well tasks/setups not commands
<ianto> I have to go now
<ianto> The significant other is stealing me ;'(
<chippanfat> ahhh okiedokie :)
<chippanfat> cheers for you help son :0

<chippanfat> ianto: getting to grips with the old school terminal view of mysql because i cba to fix mysql :p

<markjones> nice
<markjones> The alternative is a bot...
<brobostigon> i would say, a bot is maybe last resort.
<markjones> yeah
<markjones> it'd only be there so if someone went !links it'd bring up all our links
