| Kilos | morning superfly and everyone else | 06:25 |
| superfly | hey Kilos | 06:26 |
| Kilos | i need some help please. if i minimise anything it disappears/hides is there a way i can fix it | 06:26 |
| Kilos | how you superfly and the family? | 06:26 |
| superfly | Kilos: sounds like you removed the task manager from your lower panel? | 06:27 |
| Kilos | we have had a few power cuts in the last 2 weeks and it started after one of them | 06:27 |
| Kilos | where do i find this task manager please?\ | 06:28 |
| superfly | Kilos: I don't use Gnome, so I don't know, but in most DE's, you just right-click the panel where you want it, and then select "add" or "customise" or something like that | 06:28 |
| Kilos | ty superfly i will look for it. i member after one power cut it lucid asked if it must recover lotsa stuff and i thought it meant programs i had open so i said no | 06:30 |
| Kilos | since then i got the prob | 06:30 |
| Kilos | lol | 06:30 |
| Kilos | i learn the hard way | 06:30 |
| Kilos | maybe its got another name in gnome | 06:33 |
| Kilos | i find no task manager | 06:33 |

| Kilos | i check quick | 06:34 |
| Kilos | hmm i only got an application launcher. will see what that does | 06:35 |

| nlsthzn | morning | 07:29 |
| oomkoos | morning | 07:29 |
| nlsthzn | anyone here clues up with uploading torrents? | 07:30 |
| superfly | nope, I don't generally torrent | 07:31 |
| nlsthzn | so annoying... not sure if i am doing something wrong, if it is the client or what :( with SA's internet prices I can believe not many use torrents | 07:32 |
| superfly | nlsthzn: plenty people do, it's just that I don't partake in piracy, and thus the number of useful torrents for me is almost negligable | 07:35 |
| oomkoos | piracy is wrong... but i love doing it anyway :D | 07:38 |
| superfly | oomkoos: yes, so you're one of the many that makes this worse for people like me who try to do things right | 07:38 |
| nlsthzn | superfly: trying to upload a linux distro torrent actually :) | 07:39 |
| superfly | nlsthzn: I never accused you of piracy... just said that it is the reason most people torrent | 07:40 |
| nlsthzn | superfly: I know, was just saying... I need help for a noble cause :p | 07:42 |
| superfly | haha | 07:42 |
| linuxboy | apparently facebook use torrents to distribute their deployments | 07:43 |
| superfly | nlsthzn: I honestly don't know... I know people have torrent files, and those need to have "announce" urls, but that's about as far as I know | 07:43 |
| oomkoos | ten to one superfly. not a fan of pirating software & games. i do torrent quite a few series. and whenever i CAN afford to buy the original i do so. But series box sets are insanely priced | 07:44 |
| nlsthzn | superfly: I suspect that the announce is where I am also failing | 07:44 |
| superfly | oomkoos: indeed, I know, I've bought the whole of one series... over about 6 or 7 months | 07:45 |
| oomkoos | yes it takes time and respect to you for doing that. you'll find quite a lot of original material in my house ranging from music to dvd's to xbox games and series. my mentality is not that "why should i pay if i can get it for free" but for the value of entertainment i think i would have died of boredom many many years ago if it wasn't for series and movies you either got from friends or downloaded yourself. not trying to justify wha | 07:48 |
| oomkoos | nlsthzn try uploading your torrent to a well known site. let them do the announcing part. you need a site which can track where what is of the torrent | 07:50 |
| superfly | oomkoos: why are you explaining all this to me? | 07:55 |
| nlsthzn | oomkoos: a few years ago I got rid of all my pirate stuff... a big black bag full of cd/dvd's and yes, I am uploading to a tracker site | 08:04 |
| oomkoos | superfly: like i said... just putting it out there :) also i'm bored stiff at work. so pick one :D | 08:04 |
| oomkoos | nlsthzn: what tracker site? how many connected to your torrent? any errors? | 08:06 |
| nlsthzn | www.linuxtracker.com and I can upload the file, others can get it but I am the initial seeder and my client is seeding but nobody is recieving this initial seed | 08:09 |
| superfly | nlsthzn: most probably because no one knows about it? | 08:09 |
| oomkoos | nlsthzn: what is the name of the torrent? | 08:10 |
| nlsthzn | :) there is a demand for them... the problem is the link to my client seeding isn't being made... I upload the file, then I download it, normally my client will see I am seeding it already and then add my info and then everyone else sees me as the seeder, but now when I re-download the torrent file my client starts downloading the file anew... and then nobody else sees me as the initial seeder | 08:12 |
| oomkoos | sounds like the original file source and download destination are different | 08:17 |
| nlsthzn | oomkoos: they are... oO my default save for downloading torrents is different from the place I uploaded it from | 08:19 |
| nlsthzn | oh wow | 08:19 |
| nlsthzn | if it is going to be so easy... | 08:19 |
| nlsthzn | let me check | 08:19 |
| nlsthzn | didn't work, however... all I did was to download the torrent I uploaded... it verified the iso on disc and then this new file I am seeding is showing me as a seeder | 08:25 |
| nlsthzn | so it works | 08:25 |
| nlsthzn | thanks for all the assistance | 08:25 |
| oomkoos | glad it works | 08:25 |

| harmony1001 | empathy 2.32.1 does not support the /msg command the command is not available when i type /help? how do i register my nickname? | 13:42 |
| maiatoday | harmony1001: o DPM | 13:46 |
| maiatoday | oops | 13:46 |
| maiatoday | sorry | 13:46 |
| maiatoday | there may be a configuration for the account in empathy that will do the register | 13:46 |
| maiatoday | harmony1001: I don't have it open here but let me run up a virtual box for you | 13:47 |
| maiatoday | ok no I'll have to try to remember I think there was a place when you create the irc account to add a password | 13:49 |
| maiatoday | then it will do the command when it connects in the beginning | 13:49 |
| harmony1001 | maiatoday: where do i specify my email address? there is space for a password in account add! | 13:51 |
| maiatoday | not sure | 13:53 |
| maiatoday | ok wait, I think the password is used when you have already registered | 13:54 |
| maiatoday | just to identify yourself | 13:54 |
| maiatoday | do you get a conversation with nickserv when you log in | 13:55 |
| maiatoday | you may be able to type the bit after the /msg command in the nickserv conversation | 13:55 |
| * maiatoday hasn't used empathy for irc for ages | 13:55 | |
| maiatoday | or otherwise is there a menu way to create a conversatino with nickserv | 13:56 |
| harmony1001 | maiatoday: what client do you use | 13:56 |
| maiatoday | weechat | 13:56 |
| maiatoday | but I am at work now so I use pidgin | 13:56 |
| maiatoday | unfortunately at work there is no ubuntu | 13:57 |
| maiatoday | but if anyone else was here they would suggest their favourite irc client, it is a contensious topic :) | 13:58 |
| confluency | harmony1001: Have you *tried* /msg? | 14:07 |
| confluency | harmony1001: yeah, also try opening a chat window to nickserv. | 14:07 |
| confluency | Otherwise, you can register from a different client, or mibbit. It's a server thing, not a client thing. | 14:08 |

| Tonberry | agreed | 19:34 |
| Tonberry | the cloud scares me | 19:34 |
| nlsthzn | It is so white and FLUFFY! | 19:39 |
| Tonberry | altho the last comment about loic seems incorrect | 19:39 |
| Tonberry | its on sourceforge | 19:39 |
| Tonberry | with source | 19:39 |
| Tonberry | or at least an svn... | 19:40 |
| Tonberry | that most likely contains source.... | 19:40 |
| nlsthzn | don't know about that... | 19:41 |
