[08:25] superfly: ja [08:25] superfly: but I dont' do that [08:26] any particular reason? [08:30] then I can cancel it without transferring the adsl line [08:37] ah [08:50] superfly: axxess has been good to me mostly. afrihost is cheap. [11:27] superfly: you finally got access in your area? [11:27] apparently... I want to see if that is for real [11:28] https://secureapp.telkom.co.za/adslchecker/check.htm [11:32] LOL they imply that the rest of their site isn't secure [11:43] linuxboy: they first need to install a phone line ;-) [11:49] yeah :/ [14:28] drubin is irc.sun.ac.za down? [14:52] Tonberry: yes [14:52] ah [14:53] wonder what they broke this time...

[16:07] because 5 minutes ago it felt like it was only me T_T [16:07] ;) [16:07] hi Tonberry, cocooncrash [16:07] hello === yusuf1 is now known as yusuf [18:34] evening all [18:34] hi Morganvd [18:36] hey superfly [18:37] ubuntu 10.10 netbook is driving me nuts [18:37] why, what's up? [18:38] im trying to add a custom launcher to the global menu [18:38] weechat [18:38] i maid the launcher [18:38] in the menu option [18:39] but i cannot seem to launch it [18:43] 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] Morganvd: what command are yo using? [18:44] i created a custom launcher in the menu to run weechat-curses [18:45] Morganvd: Ah that wont work. :) [18:45] but i cannot find the launcher in the list of applications [18:45] k [18:45] Morganvd: that is like executing vim from launcher it needs terminal to run in :) [18:45] i did tell it to run in terminal [18:45] Morganvd: how? [18:45] when you create a custom launcher [18:46] there is two options in the drop down box [18:46] oo that is a nice feature [18:46] application and run in terminal [18:46] drubin: what ubuntu you running [18:47] i created it on 10.04 [18:47] Morganvd: 10.10 but I don't use normal GUI [18:47] Morganvd: btw have you tried changing the comamnd to gnome-terminal -e "weechat-curses" [18:47] what gui you using [18:47] and setting it to not run in a terminal? [18:47] yeah [18:47] Morganvd: Xmonad [18:47] ill check it out [18:48] k gnome application menu [18:48] if you right click [18:48] edit menu [18:48] you can add launcher [18:48] i had a nice one for weechat on 10.04 [18:49] Morganvd: Ye i don't have that issue because I never ever close weechat :) [18:49] ssh screen -rd :) [18:49] :) [18:50] Morganvd: can you not see the launcher or doesn't it work? [18:51] cant c it [18:51] i created it [18:51] its there [18:51] just wont add it to the menu in the netbook addiotion [18:58] drubin: you mean, ssh -t screen -rd [19:19] marcog: well actually I meant ssh and then screen -rd [19:19] drubin: you can do it in one cmd though [19:20] but I don't like to [19:21] lol [19:21] marcog: I can also chat via fifo socket instead of weechat [19:21] and how does this help me [19:21] restart whatever interface it uses? [19:21] @ launcher not showing [19:22] tried that already but the global menu seems to be burried into the interface with no config [19:22] eish [19:22] and they want unity as the next ubuntu interface? [19:22] sounds like unity tried to take over more then it can chew [19:23] i still wonder how badly replacing Xorg is going to go [19:23] people have mixed feelings I for one welcome any thing that makes graphics on Linux better [19:23] im slightly bothered about the new approach [19:23] (if it does) [19:23] drubin: why wouldn't you like to? [19:23] well x is old [19:23] drubin: it's much snappier doing it in one cmd [19:24] marcog: JUST to annoy froztbyte I like to see what packages need upgrading via the MOTD [19:24] marcog: what happens if I have things in my screen -rd I don't want people to see??? hey!! ;) [19:24] unity is nice but it needs major work [19:25] drubin: so you're being silly about it, right... :P [19:26] Morganvd: loads of major work, it's far too slow atm [19:28] marcog: actually my first point stands 2nd point was silly [19:28] drubin: ok, well idc what packages tumbleweed needs to update on clam :) [19:29] but I don't like to counts as a point? [19:29] eh? [19:29] lurker!!! [19:29] tumbleweed: ignore :) [19:32] marcog: You deff don't want motd installed by default on a shell server like clam [19:48] anyone here want a diaspora invite? [19:51] marcog: I'll take one, thanks [19:52] superfly: pm me your addy and i'll send [19:52] what is it [19:53] open, distributed alternative to facebook [19:53] still pre-alpha [19:53] but quite promising at the early stage [19:54] marcog: needs more pictures [19:54] drubin: early stage [19:54] but yes [19:54] * drubin knows [19:54] pretty impressed so far [19:56] * marcog got my first other-site contact today [19:56] other-site? [19:56] i.e. contact from another diaspora instance [19:56] Ah ye [20:00] would be great if I could actually read the text [20:00] superfly: context? [20:01] drubin: diasp.org - light grey text on a white background [20:02] they've set the background colour but neglected to set the font colour... or vice versa [20:02] and with my dark colour scheme, my colours are opposite [20:06] superfly: do you mean the text like "X minutes ago"? [20:06] cause the names and statuses are fine here [20:07] marcog: no, the selects and inputs where I have to select my date of birth and type in my name, for instance [20:07] oh that was fine for me, iirc [20:12] anyone seen nuvolari today?
