| jfer | hi all. i just put my name on the wiki to volunteer for open day | 00:32 |
|---|---|---|
| jfer | still looks as though there are a lot of slots still left | 00:33 |
| head_laptop | jfer, yeah caryb and I will be there all day so we didn´t want to fill it up straight away | 00:43 |
| head_laptop | jfer, but the more people helping out means we all get to actually look at the other stalls as well | 00:43 |
| head_laptop | Also makes it easier to document the day (take photos, etc) | 00:44 |
| jfer | ok | 00:57 |
| jfer | i am heading down today | 00:57 |
| jfer | i hope to see you monday | 00:58 |
| head_victim | I'll be there :) I'm also going to be going to rego on Sunday so I can also attend the newbie session | 00:58 |
| jfer | yer i was thinking about registering on sunday | 00:59 |
| jfer | what is the newbie session?? | 00:59 |
| jfer | it is my first time at LCA | 00:59 |
| head_victim | Apparently they hold a newcomers session to detail what to expect, what to do, etc for people who haven't been to an LCA before (which is me) and is highly recommended | 00:59 |
| head_victim | They're still confirming times and places for it because of the reshuffle though but apparently it's usually around the time of the sunday registration | 01:00 |
| jfer | ok | 01:02 |
| jfer | well i might see you there then | 01:02 |
| jfer | gtg and pack | 01:02 |
| head_victim | WIthout unplugged and replugging a device, if I've "safely removed" a usb device is there a way to get it to recognise again? | 02:52 |
| blahdeblah | Anyone tried to lodge their BAS on Ubuntu lately? Mine goes all the way to the end then fails on the last submit. :-( | 03:58 |
| head_victim | I haven't had to do a BAS in years and quite happy not to :D | 03:59 |
| blahdeblah | :-P | 04:00 |
| blahdeblah | I'm sure it's a stupid JavaScript bug. Anyone know if there's a Firefox plugin that lets you mangle the JavaScript that's used on a page? | 04:00 |
| nisshh | blahdeblah, BAS? | 04:16 |
| blahdeblah | Business Activity Statement | 04:16 |
| blahdeblah | Where you pay the govt the GST you collected for them | 04:16 |
| nisshh | oh right, no | 04:16 |
| nisshh | i havent | 04:16 |
| nisshh | i think most people use etax on windows for that, im not even sure its possible on linux | 04:17 |
| nisshh | blahdeblah, ^^ | 04:17 |
| blahdeblah | not etax - that's for tax returns | 04:17 |
| blahdeblah | This is for BAS | 04:17 |
| blahdeblah | I've been doing it on Linux for the past 4 years | 04:18 |
| blahdeblah | !@#$ stupid ATO - every step except the last one works with a proxy server, but you have to bypass the proxy to make the final one work. | 04:22 |
| lubotu2 | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:22 |
| blahdeblah | Simmer down, lubotu2 - i wasn't talking to you. ;-) | 04:23 |
| blahdeblah | Not only that, but it tries to check the time against time-a.nist.gov using TIMEP! Aaarrrgh! | 04:24 |
| * blahdeblah pulls out the angry eyes >:o | 04:24 | |
| orly_go | 3 australia huwei e169g on lucid 10.04.1 with nm 0.8.0ubuntu3? | 09:41 |
| orly_go | how to? | 09:41 |
| sagaci | Hi | 09:41 |
| orly_go | hi | 09:42 |
| sagaci | It's not detecting it? | 09:42 |
| orly_go | it appears on desktop as cd/usb storage | 09:43 |
| head_victim | orly_go: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Projects/WirelessBroadbandInformation | 09:43 |
| orly_go | so i safely remove it and it is detected in nm menu as 'vodafone' | 09:43 |
| head_victim | Apparently needs a modeswitch | 09:43 |
| orly_go | safely remove means it shows up as usb modem in dmesg | 09:44 |
| orly_go | i was hoping it wouldnt need modeswitch | 09:45 |
| orly_go | thought lucid fixed that | 09:45 |
| sagaci | Hi | 09:45 |
| head_victim | Hmm it does say only for older releases so should work ootb | 09:45 |
| orly_go | well | 09:45 |
| orly_go | idk | 09:45 |
| orly_go | i rebooted with it plugged in too, same result | 09:46 |
| sagaci | Never had any trouble with the e1762 | 09:47 |
| orly_go | Bus 002 Device 002: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem | 09:48 |

| head_victim | http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1138136 | 09:51 |
| head_victim | Seems to suggest it works ok | 09:51 |
| orly_go | oh i didnt go to edit connections | 09:58 |
| orly_go | i forgot i had to do that | 09:58 |
| sagaci | Does nm just not detect it | 09:59 |
| orly_go | it does | 10:00 |
| orly_go | as 'vadafone' though | 10:00 |
| orly_go | it is on 3 | 10:00 |
| orly_go | i will disconnect here and plug it into the lucid pc | 10:01 |
| orly_go | bbl | 10:01 |
| head_victim | Vodafone and 3 are now the same provider in AU now aren't they? | 10:13 |
| orly_go | woo | 10:25 |
| orly_go | got it working on lucid | 10:26 |
| orly_go | had to edit connections | 10:26 |
| orly_go | the vodafone one was from another 3g modem :) | 10:26 |
| head_victim | orly_go: good stuff I'm so not good with 3g (the only 3g I have is a home network gateway from Telstra) | 10:26 |
| orly_go | thanks | 10:27 |
| head_victim | Which is essentially a stand alone router with 4 port ethernet and wireless lan connections | 10:27 |

| sagaci | Hi | 12:17 |
| head_victim | Gday | 12:18 |
| sagaci | Is the buntu store still happening for open day | 12:20 |
| head_victim | Yep | 12:20 |
| head_victim | Well be a few of us there fingers crossed. | 12:21 |
| sagaci | Ah ok cool, so meet up is on monday night? | 12:21 |
| head_victim | Yep, we'll mosey on down after the conference and eat pancakes. Sounds good to me anyway. | 12:25 |
| sagaci | How many have you got so far | 12:29 |
| head_victim | About 10 | 12:33 |
| head_victim | Well 10 that have said yes I'll be there either in email or irc. No idea if we'll have walk ins or people who said they'd show not | 12:33 |
| sagaci | How far is it from the venue | 12:34 |
| head_victim | It's in the CBD so should be close to where most people are staying | 12:35 |
| head_victim | http://www.pancakemanor.com.au/ | 12:35 |
| head_victim | The charlotte street address | 12:35 |
| sagaci | Ah ok | 12:36 |
| head_victim | It was going to be a couple of streets away from the venue before the floods | 12:37 |
| sagaci | So will urbanest people need to take a bus now to the venue | 12:39 |
| head_victim | Yep | 12:40 |
| head_victim | None of the "official" venues are within comfortable walking distance | 12:40 |
| sagaci | Yeah | 12:41 |
| head_victim | Bit of a shame but really good organisation by the lca team to completely swap venues in a week or so | 12:49 |
| sagaci | Yeah true | 12:51 |

| blahdeblah | head_victim: I've checked the motherboards i have in my spares box, and they're all Intel D845GLLY - no AGP/PCIe; PCI only. There should be full specs on Intel's site. If you want any (i have 3), let me know. | 20:44 |
