[00:32] <jfer> hi all. i just put my name on the wiki to volunteer for open day
[00:33] <jfer> still looks as though there are a lot of slots still left
[00:43] <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
[00:44] <head_laptop> Also makes it easier to document the day (take photos, etc)
[00:57] <jfer> ok
[00:57] <jfer> i am heading down today
[00:58] <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
[00:59] <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
[01:00] <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
[01:02] <jfer> ok
[01:02] <jfer> well i might see you there then
[01:02] <jfer> gtg and pack
[02:52] <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?
[03:58] <blahdeblah> Anyone tried to lodge their BAS on Ubuntu lately?  Mine goes all the way to the end then fails on the last submit. :-(
[03:59] <head_victim> I haven't had to do a BAS in years and quite happy not to :D
[04:00] <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?
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <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
[04:18] <blahdeblah> I've been doing it on Linux for the past 4 years
[04:22] <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.
[04:23] <blahdeblah> Simmer down, lubotu2 - i wasn't talking to you.  ;-)
[04:24] <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
[09:41] <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
[09:42] <orly_go> hi
[09:42] <sagaci> It's not detecting it?
[09:43] <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
[09:44] <orly_go> safely remove means it shows up as usb modem in dmesg
[09:45] <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
[09:46] <orly_go> i rebooted with it plugged in too, same result
[09:47] <sagaci> Never had any trouble with the e1762
[09:48] <orly_go> Bus 002 Device 002: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem
[09:48] <orly_go> hmm e620?
[09:51] <head_victim> http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1138136
[09:51] <head_victim> Seems to suggest it works ok
[09:58] <orly_go> oh i didnt go to edit connections
[09:58] <orly_go> i forgot i had to do that
[09:59] <sagaci> Does nm just not detect it
[10:00] <orly_go> it does
[10:00] <orly_go> as 'vadafone' though
[10:00] <orly_go> it is on 3
[10:01] <orly_go> i will disconnect here and plug it into the lucid pc
[10:01] <orly_go> bbl
[10:13] <head_victim> Vodafone and 3 are now the same provider in AU now aren't they?
[10:25] <orly_go> woo
[10:26] <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)
[10:27] <orly_go> thanks
[10:27] <head_victim> Which is essentially a stand alone router with 4 port ethernet and wireless lan connections
[10:27] <orly_go> i wont say im great with it either
[10:27] <head_victim> Heh you going to be at LCA?
[10:27] <orly_go> sometime, somewhere
[10:27] <orly_go> ys

[12:17] <sagaci> Hi
[12:18] <head_victim> Gday
[12:20] <sagaci> Is the buntu store still happening for open day
[12:20] <head_victim> Yep
[12:21] <head_victim> Well be a few of us there fingers crossed.
[12:21] <sagaci> Ah ok cool, so meet up is on monday night?
[12:25] <head_victim> Yep, we'll mosey on down after the conference and eat pancakes. Sounds good to me anyway.
[12:29] <sagaci> How many have you got so far
[12:33] <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
[12:34] <sagaci> How far is it from the venue
[12:35] <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 
[12:36] <sagaci> Ah ok
[12:37] <head_victim> It was going to be a couple of streets away from the venue before the floods
[12:39] <sagaci> So will urbanest people need to take a bus now to the venue
[12:40] <head_victim> Yep
[12:40] <head_victim> None of the "official" venues are within comfortable walking distance
[12:41] <sagaci> Yeah
[12:49] <head_victim> Bit of a shame but really good organisation by the lca team to completely swap venues in a week or so
[12:51] <sagaci> Yeah true
[20:44] <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.
