| linuxboy | superfly: mweb | 08:23 |
| linuxboy | superfly: no fuss | 08:23 |
| superfly | linuxboy: do they do a package thing where you get your ADSL through them as well? | 08:25 |
| linuxboy | superfly: ja | 08:25 |
| linuxboy | superfly: but I dont' do that | 08:25 |
| superfly | any particular reason? | 08:26 |
| linuxboy | then I can cancel it without transferring the adsl line | 08:30 |
| superfly | ah | 08:37 |
| drubin | superfly: axxess has been good to me mostly. afrihost is cheap. | 08:50 |
| linuxboy | superfly: you finally got access in your area? | 11:27 |
| superfly | apparently... I want to see if that is for real | 11:27 |
| linuxboy | https://secureapp.telkom.co.za/adslchecker/check.htm | 11:28 |
| drubin | LOL they imply that the rest of their site isn't secure | 11:32 |
| superfly | linuxboy: they first need to install a phone line ;-) | 11:43 |
| linuxboy | yeah :/ | 11:49 |

| Morganvd | evening all | 18:34 |
| superfly | hi Morganvd | 18:34 |
| Morganvd | hey superfly | 18:36 |
| Morganvd | ubuntu 10.10 netbook is driving me nuts | 18:37 |
| superfly | why, what's up? | 18:37 |
| Morganvd | im trying to add a custom launcher to the global menu | 18:38 |
| Morganvd | weechat | 18:38 |
| Morganvd | i maid the launcher | 18:38 |
| Morganvd | in the menu option | 18:38 |
| Morganvd | but i cannot seem to launch it | 18:39 |
| superfly | Morganvd: I'm afraid I'm a KDE junkie, so I don't really know how to do that in Gnome (or Unity) | 18:43 |
| drubin | Morganvd: what command are yo using? | 18:43 |
| Morganvd | i created a custom launcher in the menu to run weechat-curses | 18:44 |
| drubin | Morganvd: Ah that wont work. :) | 18:45 |
| Morganvd | but i cannot find the launcher in the list of applications | 18:45 |
| Morganvd | k | 18:45 |
| drubin | Morganvd: that is like executing vim from launcher it needs terminal to run in :) | 18:45 |
| Morganvd | i did tell it to run in terminal | 18:45 |
| drubin | Morganvd: how? | 18:45 |
| Morganvd | when you create a custom launcher | 18:45 |
| Morganvd | there is two options in the drop down box | 18:46 |
| drubin | oo that is a nice feature | 18:46 |
| Morganvd | application and run in terminal | 18:46 |
| Morganvd | drubin: what ubuntu you running | 18:46 |
| Morganvd | i created it on 10.04 | 18:47 |
| drubin | Morganvd: 10.10 but I don't use normal GUI | 18:47 |
| drubin | Morganvd: btw have you tried changing the comamnd to gnome-terminal -e "weechat-curses" | 18:47 |
| Morganvd | what gui you using | 18:47 |
| drubin | and setting it to not run in a terminal? | 18:47 |
| Morganvd | yeah | 18:47 |
| drubin | Morganvd: Xmonad | 18:47 |
| Morganvd | ill check it out | 18:47 |
| Morganvd | k gnome application menu | 18:48 |
| Morganvd | if you right click | 18:48 |
| Morganvd | edit menu | 18:48 |
| Morganvd | you can add launcher | 18:48 |
| Morganvd | i had a nice one for weechat on 10.04 | 18:48 |
| drubin | Morganvd: Ye i don't have that issue because I never ever close weechat :) | 18:49 |
| drubin | ssh screen -rd :) | 18:49 |
| Morganvd | :) | 18:49 |
| drubin | Morganvd: can you not see the launcher or doesn't it work? | 18:50 |
| Morganvd | cant c it | 18:51 |
| Morganvd | i created it | 18:51 |
| Morganvd | its there | 18:51 |
| Morganvd | just wont add it to the menu in the netbook addiotion | 18:51 |
| marcog | drubin: you mean, ssh -t screen -rd | 18:58 |
| drubin | marcog: well actually I meant ssh and then screen -rd | 19:19 |
| marcog | drubin: you can do it in one cmd though | 19:19 |
| drubin | but I don't like to | 19:20 |
| Morganvd | lol | 19:21 |
| drubin | marcog: I can also chat via fifo socket instead of weechat | 19:21 |
| Morganvd | and how does this help me | 19:21 |
| Tonberry | restart whatever interface it uses? | 19:21 |
| Tonberry | @ launcher not showing | 19:21 |
| Morganvd | tried that already but the global menu seems to be burried into the interface with no config | 19:22 |
| Tonberry | eish | 19:22 |
| Tonberry | and they want unity as the next ubuntu interface? | 19:22 |
| drubin | sounds like unity tried to take over more then it can chew | 19:22 |
| Tonberry | i still wonder how badly replacing Xorg is going to go | 19:23 |
| drubin | people have mixed feelings I for one welcome any thing that makes graphics on Linux better | 19:23 |
| Morganvd | im slightly bothered about the new approach | 19:23 |
| drubin | (if it does) | 19:23 |
| marcog | drubin: why wouldn't you like to? | 19:23 |
| Tonberry | well x is old | 19:23 |
| marcog | drubin: it's much snappier doing it in one cmd | 19:23 |
| drubin | marcog: JUST to annoy froztbyte I like to see what packages need upgrading via the MOTD | 19:24 |
| drubin | marcog: what happens if I have things in my screen -rd I don't want people to see??? hey!! ;) | 19:24 |
| Morganvd | unity is nice but it needs major work | 19:24 |
| marcog | drubin: so you're being silly about it, right... :P | 19:25 |
| marcog | Morganvd: loads of major work, it's far too slow atm | 19:26 |
| drubin | marcog: actually my first point stands 2nd point was silly | 19:28 |
| marcog | drubin: ok, well idc what packages tumbleweed needs to update on clam :) | 19:28 |
| Tonberry | <drubin> but I don't like to counts as a point? | 19:29 |
| tumbleweed | eh? | 19:29 |
| Tonberry | lurker!!! | 19:29 |
| marcog | tumbleweed: ignore :) | 19:29 |
| drubin | marcog: You deff don't want motd installed by default on a shell server like clam | 19:32 |
| marcog | anyone here want a diaspora invite? | 19:48 |
| superfly | marcog: I'll take one, thanks | 19:51 |
| marcog | superfly: pm me your addy and i'll send | 19:52 |
| Morganvd | what is it | 19:52 |
| marcog | open, distributed alternative to facebook | 19:53 |
| marcog | still pre-alpha | 19:53 |
| marcog | but quite promising at the early stage | 19:53 |
| drubin | marcog: needs more pictures | 19:54 |
| marcog | drubin: early stage | 19:54 |
| marcog | but yes | 19:54 |
| * drubin knows | 19:54 | |
| drubin | pretty impressed so far | 19:54 |
| * marcog got my first other-site contact today | 19:56 | |
| drubin | other-site? | 19:56 |
| marcog | i.e. contact from another diaspora instance | 19:56 |
| drubin | Ah ye | 19:56 |
| superfly | would be great if I could actually read the text | 20:00 |
| drubin | superfly: context? | 20:00 |
| superfly | drubin: diasp.org - light grey text on a white background | 20:01 |
| superfly | they've set the background colour but neglected to set the font colour... or vice versa | 20:02 |
| superfly | and with my dark colour scheme, my colours are opposite | 20:02 |
| marcog | superfly: do you mean the text like "X minutes ago"? | 20:06 |
| marcog | cause the names and statuses are fine here | 20:06 |
| superfly | marcog: no, the selects and inputs where I have to select my date of birth and type in my name, for instance | 20:07 |
| marcog | oh that was fine for me, iirc | 20:07 |
| ghostknife | anyone seen nuvolari today? | 20:12 |
