| head_victim | nisshh: ping if you want to check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam now I have had some help from some website people in making it look correct in both firefox and chrome now. | 03:34 |
| nisshh | head_victim, having a look now | 07:26 |
| nisshh | head_victim, looks like thisara got Ubuntu installed and booted from that hard drive :) | 07:27 |
| chesty | anyone know how to turn the ir port off on my macbookpro2,2? I'm afraid it's going to develop super strength and burn a hole in my wall | 08:40 |
| nisshh | chesty, smash it? :) | 08:41 |
| nisshh | get rid of your macbook? :) | 08:41 |
| chesty | it's running ubuntu | 08:42 |
| chesty | i didn't even now it was an ir port until I installed ubuntu and it turned on for the first time | 08:43 |
| chesty | actually, it's my headphone socket, weird | 08:44 |
| chesty | there's a red led inside the socket that's on | 08:44 |
| nisshh | chesty, i dont even know if its possible to turn off the ir port, sorry :| | 08:45 |
| chesty | I'm not even sure if it is a ir port now, I just assumed it was because it was red :P | 08:45 |
| nisshh | oh ok] | 08:46 |
| thisara | hi nisshh | 11:05 |
| thisara | are u there | 11:05 |
| nisshh | thisara, hey | 11:08 |
| thisara | nisshh : how is going | 11:09 |
| nisshh | thisara, if you type nis<tab key> then it highlights my nick and beeps so i know someone is talking to me :) | 11:09 |
| nisshh | unless webchat cant do that :) | 11:10 |
| thisara | nisshh : ok | 11:10 |
| nisshh | its called tab completion | 11:10 |
| thisara | nisshh: got it | 11:11 |
| nisshh | there you go :) | 11:11 |
| nisshh | thisara, anyway, what did you need help with? | 11:11 |
| thisara | nisshh: I already installed the Intel fortran compiler | 11:11 |
| nisshh | oh good, so its working? | 11:11 |
| thisara | nisshh: thats the problem | 11:12 |
| nisshh | oh? | 11:12 |
| nisshh | thisara, also, you dont need to highlight me nick, every time :) | 11:12 |
| nisshh | my* :) | 11:12 |
| thisara | nisshh: Its installed. thats sure. But now I want to installed the licence file. But I cant figure out where the Fortran is installed . | 11:13 |
| nisshh | hmmm | 11:14 |
| nisshh | do you need the license file? | 11:14 |
| nisshh | actually, what *is* the license file? | 11:14 |
| nisshh | thisara, ^^ | 11:14 |
| thisara | nisshh: its already there with me. It comes with the installation | 11:14 |
| nisshh | what license is it? some sort of terms & conditions? | 11:15 |
| thisara | nisshh: I want to ask another stupid question. | 11:15 |
| nisshh | no question is stupid, just ask | 11:15 |
| nisshh | :) | 11:15 |
| nisshh | thisara, ? | 11:17 |
| thisara | nisshh: First answer ur question. Intel compiler for Linux is free. So during download, intel send the licence file to our email. I will send that for you to have a look. which is an authentification for the particular copy of the software. | 11:17 |
| nisshh | i see | 11:18 |
| nisshh | so its free but not open source? | 11:18 |
| thisara | nisshh: mmm..fortran compiler is same like C, Python | 11:20 |
| thisara | nisshh: We have to write our own coding | 11:21 |
| thisara | nisshh: but there are fortran open source fortran coding all around world. I am not sure whether you know what I am referring. One of the famous is SWAN | 11:22 |
| nisshh | thisara, yeah, i understand that, but i dont understand what kind of license would require you to install a license just for a compiler | 11:22 |
| nisshh | yeah, i dont know a heap about fortran, i do know there are/was/is a compiler or two you can get for free though | 11:23 |
| nisshh | thisara, you can just email me the license file if you like | 11:23 |
| thisara | nisshh: anyway these are my stupid quesitons in Linux | 11:24 |
| nisshh | that way i can understand what your trying to do | 11:24 |
| nisshh | thisara, hehe, they arent stupid, just a challenge to answer :) | 11:24 |
| thisara | nisshh: Main problem is I am migrating from Windows to Linux , so I tend to think with a mindset of windows | 11:24 |
| nisshh | i see, yeah, that is a common problem for some | 11:25 |
| thisara | nisshh: I wonder how do we find some file in the computer | 11:25 |
| nisshh | thisara, there are two commands, find and locate :) | 11:25 |
| thisara | nisshh: ex: if I wan to find the installed directory of fortran | 11:25 |
| thisara | nisshh: ok | 11:26 |
| nisshh | thisara, well, how do you compile a fortran program on the command line? | 11:26 |
| nisshh | thisara, if the compiler has an executable this might work: which fortran | 11:26 |
| nisshh | that works for Python and whatnot, it might work for fortran | 11:27 |
| thisara | nisshh: that infact I am not sure | 11:27 |
| nisshh | thisara, so you coded fortran programs in matlab on windows did you? | 11:27 |
| * nisshh has no idea what matlab is used for/can do | 11:28 | |
| thisara | nisshh: I still cant understand directory structure of Linux. Becase in Windows, we know where the installations are | 11:28 |
| nisshh | all i know is engineers and stuff use it | 11:28 |
| nisshh | yeah | 11:28 |
| nisshh | thisara, its easy :) | 11:28 |
| thisara | nisshh: Matlab is different. | 11:28 |
| nisshh | thisara, the key difference is linux does not have anything like drive letters (C drive, D drive, etc) | 11:29 |
| nisshh | all extra hard drives and whatnot are mounted as part of the existing file system | 11:29 |
| thisara | nisshh: Most people use Matlab. It can do programming. also its a good graphical generator. But its not powerful as fortran when it comes to hardcore numerical programming. less efficient | 11:29 |
| nisshh | yeah | 11:30 |
| nisshh | thisara, ill be one minute, i just need to grab dinner from the kitchen :) | 11:30 |
| thisara | nisshh: today I had to install Linux three times | 11:30 |
| thisara | nisshh: I had to find the compatible version for Ifort | 11:30 |
| thisara | nisshh: OK | 11:30 |
| nisshh | oh ok | 11:33 |
| nisshh | thisara, anyway | 11:33 |
| nisshh | thisara, getting back to the original issue, can you email me the license file, so i can see what im dealing with? | 11:33 |
| thisara | nisshh: Ok I will now | 11:34 |
| nisshh | ok | 11:34 |
| thisara | nisshh: its sent | 11:35 |
| nisshh | ok | 11:35 |
| nisshh | i should have it in a minute | 11:36 |
| nisshh | thisara, oh i see, whats the number in the file for? | 11:36 |
| thisara | nisshh: sorry. that was serial number. I sent u the correct one again | 11:37 |
| nisshh | oh, you sent me the wrong one? | 11:37 |
| nisshh | thisara, ok, and what do you normally do on windows with that file? | 11:38 |
| thisara | nisshh: In windows, there is a graphical interface for Intel Fortran. which has everything | 11:39 |
| nisshh | oh i see | 11:39 |
| thisara | nisshh: when we start the programme for the first time it will ask to install the license file | 11:39 |
| nisshh | thisara, are you using Ubunt right now? | 11:39 |
| nisshh | oh | 11:39 |
| nisshh | ok | 11:39 |
| thisara | nisshh: mmm not now | 11:39 |
| nisshh | that is really silly :) | 11:40 |
| thisara | nisshh: can reboot in a minute | 11:40 |
| nisshh | thisara, ok, please reboot into Ubuntu, jump back on IRC and then ill get you to run some commands for me :) | 11:40 |
| thisara | nisshh: give me 2 min | 11:40 |
| thisara | nisshh: hi I am back | 11:43 |
| nisshh | ok | 11:43 |
| nisshh | thisara, so how did you install the compiler? did you use the link i gave you a few emails back? | 11:44 |
| thisara | nisshh: u mean this link http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/using-intel-compilers-for-linux-with-ubuntu/ | 11:45 |
| nisshh | yeah | 11:46 |
| nisshh | did you use that? or did you do it another way? | 11:46 |
| thisara | nisshh: I use almost same | 11:46 |
| nisshh | thisara, right | 11:46 |
| thisara | nisshh: but only difference was that it gave me warnings of some prerequsits. So install g++ | 11:47 |
| nisshh | thisara, can you tell me how you compiled programs on windows with fortran? was there a command? or a button or something? | 11:47 |
| nisshh | ah, yeah, thats nothing to worry about then | 11:47 |
| thisara | nisshh: In Windows ll done in graphical interface, there is a butten for COMPILE and another one for RUN | 11:48 |
| nisshh | thisara, this GUI, is it part of matlab? | 11:48 |
| thisara | nisshh: I am not sure whether there is such a graphical interface for Ubuntu | 11:48 |
| thisara | nisshh: sorry, Matlab is a different software. It has nothing to do with Fortran | 11:49 |
| thisara | nisshh: I think I confused u | 11:49 |
| nisshh | you did | 11:49 |
| thisara | nisshh: sorry for that | 11:49 |
| nisshh | you said you used fortran with matlab :) | 11:49 |
| nisshh | or something like that :) | 11:50 |
| thisara | nisshh: fortran and matlab | 11:50 |
| thisara | nisshh: sorry for confusion | 11:50 |
| nisshh | thats fine | 11:50 |
| thisara | nisshh: well get back to the topic. I wonder how to find the installed folder of Fortran. Ex: In windows, we know it is somewehre in Programe flies | 11:51 |
| nisshh | thisara, yeah, im working on it, give me a moment | 11:51 |
| thisara | nisshh: I found anothe document on how to do the installation. this might be useful http://www.webmo.net/support/ifort11.html | 11:53 |
| thisara | nisshh: but I found this once finish the installation. now I cant reverse the installation. Simply, ..dont know how to uninstall. | 11:54 |
| nisshh | right | 11:54 |
| nisshh | thisara, ok, ive just been to #fortran | 11:57 |
| thisara | nisshh: good | 11:57 |
| nisshh | and they have no expereince with intel fortran | 11:57 |
| nisshh | they all use gfortran (gcc for fortran) | 11:57 |
| nisshh | which they say should accept the same syntax you use | 11:58 |
| nisshh | thisara, willing to give it a shot? | 11:58 |
| nisshh | or do you need to use matlab? | 11:58 |
| thisara | nisshh: fortran syntax are same regardless of platform | 11:58 |
| nisshh | im still a little confused about how matlab is used with fortran | 11:58 |
| thisara | nisshh: I know gfortran but I dont think it s free | 11:58 |
| nisshh | thisara, im refferring to compiler accepted syntax, but yeah | 11:59 |
| nisshh | yeah, its completely frewe | 11:59 |
| thisara | nisshh: sorry | 11:59 |
| nisshh | free | 11:59 |
| thisara | nisshh: Run in Windows ? | 11:59 |
| nisshh | wait, what? | 11:59 |
| thisara | nisshh: do they run gfortran in Linux ? or Windows ? | 12:00 |
| nisshh | thisara, its available for linux as far as i know | 12:00 |
| thisara | nisshh: I earlier used it . Sometimes it has bugs. | 12:00 |
| nisshh | yeah | 12:01 |
| thisara | nisshh: But I have never used in linux | 12:01 |
| nisshh | thisara, can you please join the #fortran channel, they are willing to help you | 12:01 |
| thisara | nisshh: There are few other. Microsoft Power Station, Compaq | 12:01 |
| nisshh | yeah | 12:01 |
| thisara | good | 12:01 |
| thisara | nisshh: thanks for your time | 12:02 |
| nisshh | thisara, no problem, im happy to help, its just that fortran is sort of above my head :) | 12:02 |
| nisshh | thisara, any Ubuntu questions or help you need, come back here :) | 12:02 |
| thisara | nisshh: Ok Nish. See you again after some time | 12:03 |
| nisshh | thisara, do you know how to join #fortran? | 12:03 |
| thisara | nisshh: what u mean #fortran | 12:03 |
| thisara | ? | 12:03 |
| nisshh | thisara, there is a channel on IRC called #fortran, there are people in there willing to help you | 12:03 |
| nisshh | thisara, gimme a sec | 12:04 |
| thisara | nisshh: aha ok got it | 12:04 |
| nisshh | thisara, click this link: irc://irc.freenode.net:8001/#fortran | 12:04 |
| thisara | nisshh: got it | 12:05 |
| nisshh | cool | 12:05 |
| nisshh | thisara, so, are you going to #fortran now, or... | 12:07 |
| thisara | nisshh: I tried that | 12:09 |
| nisshh | thisara, copy and paste that link into your web browser | 12:09 |
| thisara | nisshh: seems its different application do I need to create a login | 12:10 |
| thisara | nisshh: Ok I am there | 12:11 |
| thisara | nisshh: thanks | 12:11 |
| nisshh | cool | 12:12 |
| thisara | nisshh: need to go | 12:19 |
| thisara | nisshh: catch u another time | 12:19 |
| thisara | nisshh: bye | 12:19 |
| gggs | hmm, webchat shows your ip to the world | 12:30 |
| nisshh | gggs, yeah | 12:32 |
| gggs | reading through the IRC rfc the other day I came across the /links cmd, and then realized FreeNode has an Australian server | 12:34 |
| gggs | "roddenberry.freenode.net roddenberry.freenode.net :0 Brisbane, AU" | 12:34 |
| nisshh | wait | 12:34 |
| nisshh | gggs, how did you discover an au freenode server by reading an rfc? | 12:35 |
| nisshh | you have super mind powers! :) | 12:35 |
| nisshh | now im just getting offtopic :) | 12:35 |
| gggs | butterfly effect, I could predict what would happen 17 years in the future by how it was written | 12:36 |
| nisshh | lol | 12:36 |
| gggs | it didn't extend my ability to avoid xmas shopping traffic today, so my super mind powers have restricted privileges | 12:37 |
| gggs | yea anyway I get ~400ms ping to chat.freenode.net (random server) and ~71ms to roddenberry.freenode.net | 12:39 |
| nisshh | oh nice lol | 12:39 |
| nisshh | gggs, i get 104ms ping from roddenberry.freenode.net, but im in WA, so im not as close as you | 12:40 |
| gggs | what do you get to your current IRC server? | 12:41 |
| nisshh | one sec | 12:41 |
| gggs | I get ~400 to leguin. | 12:42 |
| nisshh | gggs, i get 513ms from leguin.freenode.net, but they are in sweden :) | 12:42 |
| nisshh | gggs, do you have cable or ADSL2+? | 12:42 |
| gggs | sveeeden! | 12:44 |
| gggs | adsl2, I'll tell you the speed in a minute | 12:44 |
| nisshh | ah ok | 12:44 |
| gggs | ...if I can find my router's password | 12:49 |
| nisshh | lol | 12:50 |
| gggs | uh oh | 12:52 |
| nisshh | what happened? | 12:52 |
| gggs | I had everything setup quite nicely, with an admin and a normal user account, but uhh, I've no idea where I wrote them down | 12:53 |
| nisshh | gggs, lol, nice :) | 12:54 |
| nisshh | gggs, just go to speedtest.net :) | 12:54 |
| gggs | I'm pretty sure I wrote them down, however I'm even more sure I shred loose paper | 12:57 |
| nisshh | haha | 12:57 |
| gggs | after screwing around with the damn thing for a whole afternoon, I've shredded the only evidence of my efforts | 13:00 |
| * gggs sighs | 13:00 | |
| gggs | it's about 8,000kbit/s from memory | 13:00 |
| sagaci | adsl1 | 13:01 |
| nisshh | gggs, same as me then | 13:09 |
| gggs | I can download at about 600kB/s, I'm just cut at losing the passwords for this damn thing | 13:10 |
| nisshh | gggs, ah ok, i max out at about 859kb/s :) | 13:11 |
| sagaci | looking forward to d/l speeds at lca2011 | 13:11 |
| sagaci | 2.2MB | 13:12 |
| gggs | nisshh: nice, dsl? | 13:12 |
| nisshh | gggs, ADSL2+ | 13:13 |
| nisshh | sagaci, oh nice :) | 13:13 |
| sagaci | nisshh: sounds like adsl1 | 13:14 |
| nisshh | sagaci, no, its ADSL2+ dude | 13:14 |
| nisshh | sagaci, ISP says so, my router says so :) | 13:14 |
| sagaci | yeah, but why are you maxing out at just ~860kbps | 13:15 |
| gggs | 'just' 860kB/s? | 13:15 |
| sagaci | gggs: yeah, just 860kB, i've been there | 13:16 |
| nisshh | sagaci, kilobytes, not kilobits :) | 13:16 |
| sagaci | yeah, we're on the same page | 13:16 |
| nisshh | sagaci, how fast is you net? | 13:17 |
| sagaci | ~21000kilobits | 13:17 |
| nisshh | yeah | 13:17 |
| sagaci | translates into around 2.1-2.2megabytes/sec | 13:17 |
| sagaci | that's adsl2+ | 13:17 |
| sagaci | not annex m | 13:18 |
| nisshh | sagaci, i can get that speed here on adsl2+ but its more expensive than 8000mbps :) | 13:18 |
| sagaci | kbps* :P | 13:18 |
| nisshh | but i swear, i AM on adsl2+ dude | 13:18 |
| gggs | yea it's cheaper to wardrive and connect to routers called `dlink' | 13:18 |
| nisshh | sagaci, yeah lol, oops :) | 13:18 |
| sagaci | so you're on turbo or something | 13:19 |
| sagaci | it's about the same price, yeah? | 13:19 |
| nisshh | sagaci, im with telstra on the bigpond liberty turbo 8mbps plan with 50GB's bandwidth | 13:20 |
| nisshh | but i got a discount | 13:21 |
| nisshh | so 20mbps is far more expensive | 13:21 |
| sagaci | yeah, i'm on the same except elite | 13:21 |
| sagaci | but i'm on wireless 3g right this moment | 13:21 |
| nisshh | sagaci, my plan might be elite too, i cant remember :) | 13:23 |
| sagaci | nisshh: have you tried rebooting your router | 13:24 |
| nisshh | sagaci, what? why? | 13:24 |
| sagaci | well if you're on the elite, you should be able to get 20mbps if your line is right | 13:26 |
| sagaci | when I felt 20mbps dowload, | 13:27 |
| sagaci | i was like that dude in the chair listeing to loud music with glasses on | 13:27 |
| nisshh | sagaci, no, there is the 8mbps elite and the 20mbps elite :) | 13:29 |
| sagaci | a deprecated plan? | 13:30 |
| nisshh | no | 13:30 |
| nisshh | let me find the plan list | 13:30 |
| sagaci | i got it | 13:30 |
| sagaci | i'll imgur it | 13:30 |
| nisshh | ok | 13:31 |
| sagaci | http://i.imgur.com/qBFYB.png | 13:34 |
| nisshh | sagaci, yeah, that plan | 13:35 |
| nisshh | but my router limits me because it cant do ADSL2+ :) | 13:35 |
| sagaci | so it's just your router | 13:35 |
| nisshh | i installed a patch that supposedly made it ADSL2+ capable | 13:35 |
| sagaci | what have you got | 13:35 |
| nisshh | but it obviously isnt working | 13:36 |
| gggs | hah, "Your current plan is BigPond Elite Liberty* (100GB) - ADSL $79.95 monthly", it's not even there anymore | 13:36 |
| nisshh | sagaci, Netgear DG834G | 13:36 |
| nisshh | lol, yeah | 13:36 |
| sagaci | nisshh: now it makes sense | 13:36 |
| nisshh | sagaci, yeah, because it says i get ADSL2+ but obviously my router is too old | 13:36 |
| sagaci | 100GB is my sweet spot, since you get 256k shaped speed | 13:36 |
| nisshh | yeah | 13:36 |
| sagaci | in saying that 50GB meets my needs | 13:37 |
| nisshh | but i dont get shaped often, i stop downloading just before i go over | 13:37 |
| nisshh | and i regulate it | 13:37 |
| gggs | I'm 24GB through 100GB, with one day until new bill date; what do you guys go through? | 13:37 |
| nisshh | so i spread the 50GB's out over a month | 13:37 |
| sagaci | 1.5GB a day | 13:37 |
| nisshh | gggs, i go through all 50GB's a month | 13:37 |
| nisshh | but i could easily go through more | 13:38 |
| sagaci | youtube HD, daily linux isos aren't mirrored, only xubuntu's are | 13:38 |
| nisshh | yeah | 13:38 |
| nisshh | brb, getting dessert | 13:39 |
| nisshh | back now | 13:40 |
| gggs | aarnet is unmetered | 13:41 |
| sagaci | distros iso that aren't mirrored, | 13:41 |
| sagaci | aarnet is limited | 13:41 |
| nisshh | gggs, yeah i use it | 13:41 |
| sagaci | i abuse it | 13:42 |
| sagaci | 8) | 13:42 |
| gggs | nisshh: (ot) I'm grep'ing my entire hdd for my router's passwords, everythings a little slow | 13:43 |
| gggs | sagaci: you pull new ISO's daily? | 13:43 |
| sagaci | no | 13:43 |
| gggs | 200GB, even 100GB is a large amount of data for a home network | 13:46 |
| nisshh | gggs, hehe | 13:46 |
| sagaci | ubuntu one | 13:47 |
| sagaci | i'd use it if uploads weren't counted | 13:47 |
| gggs | earlier this week I measured how much traffic went through an IRC server similar to this one when idle-- 12.49kB over an hour, depending on how long the server's hostname is | 13:56 |
| gggs | nisshh: grep couldn't find anything, looks like I've have to reset it (eventually) | 14:16 |
| nisshh | gggs, that sucks :( | 14:16 |
| gggs | yea it's one of those Telstra-branded Thomson wifi routers, you can only change a few settings | 14:17 |
| nisshh | ah ok | 14:20 |
| nisshh | my routers control panel is not bad, i can change DHCP address range, LAN settings, wireless settings, dyndns settings, etc | 14:21 |
| gggs | nisshh: wifi? | 14:21 |
| nisshh | gggs, yes | 14:23 |
| nisshh | wireless == wifi | 14:23 |
| gggs | oh right, missed that, it's getting late | 14:24 |
| nisshh | lol | 14:25 |
