| ous | hi all | 02:50 |
|---|---|---|
| ous | so I'm a Lebanese living abroad, but I'm curious: what's the penetration of ubuntu like on the ground over there? | 02:51 |
| ous | oh... forgot about the time difference | 02:53 |
| rapacity | d: | 02:59 |
| rapacity | I know more people using ubuntu than people using macs? if that counts, haha, though I don't have any statistics | 03:06 |
| ous | well that's kinda cool | 03:09 |
| ous | yeah stats on any linux are kinda sketchy | 03:09 |
| ous | does the loco there do much activities/ meet ups? | 03:10 |
| rapacity | no, :p | 03:11 |
| rapacity | we sortof tried, but not many people show up | 03:12 |
| ous | I imagine its a niche thing | 03:12 |
| rapacity | tbh, I don't even use ubuntu d: | 03:13 |
| ous | what do you use? | 03:13 |
| ous | just curious | 03:13 |
| rapacity | debian, though I've been thinking of switching to arch | 03:13 |
| ous | the latest "squeeze"? | 03:16 |
| ous | also arch would be interesting for tinkering... though not sure I have much time for that | 03:16 |
| rapacity | no ;P I'm on sid/experimental | 03:16 |
| ous | oh ok | 03:17 |
| rapacity | ah | 03:17 |
| rapacity | well I recently tried using arch for a server | 03:17 |
| rapacity | and liked it, it has very up to date packages | 03:18 |
| ous | yeah I imagine a rolling release is pretty nice for staying upto date | 03:22 |
| rapacity | in unrelated news, ipv4 exhaustion ETA 1 day \o/ | 03:27 |
| ous | lol really? been reading about it... | 03:27 |
| ous | so what next, put a big "no vacancy" sign? | 03:27 |
| rapacity | ipv6 \o/ | 03:28 |
| ous | I just can't understand why they didn't make ipv6 backward compatible | 03:28 |
| ous | yeah the upgrade though is gonna be messy | 03:29 |
| rapacity | hehe, though I'm happy I'll finally be able to allocate my own lame hex speak ip :p | 03:30 |
| rapacity | :DEAD:BEA7: | 03:30 |
| rapacity | currently ogero doesn't seem to support ipv6 :< | 03:31 |
| rapacity | hoping that the exhaustion will compel it to finally take action :/ | 03:32 |
| ous | yeah... so is the internet there still pretty slow? | 03:37 |
| rapacity | yeah, but bandwidth is a bigger problem imo | 03:38 |
| rapacity | I'm capped at 4gb per month | 03:38 |
| rapacity | I'm using the 512K plan | 03:40 |
| rapacity | on the 2.3Mbps plan you only get 8gb bandwidth :p | 03:40 |
| ous | That's pretty pathetic | 03:46 |
| rapacity | yep | 03:47 |
| ous | I read an article not too long ago that there were plans to remedy the situation by extending additional high speed links to europe | 03:47 |
| ous | I imagine that things are on hold atm | 03:48 |
| rapacity | :p I think it's all empty promises | 03:48 |
| rapacity | they've been talking about adding more bw for years | 03:48 |
| rapacity | and nothing has changed, the prices/packages haven't changed | 03:48 |
| ous | sigh... so do you have dsl? | 03:49 |
| rapacity | ogero charges 1$ per 100mb | 03:49 |
| rapacity | they're making alot of money out of this | 03:49 |
| ous | making alot of money and in the process hampering economic growth of the country | 03:50 |
| rapacity | I doubt they'd do something to jeopardize this arrangement | 03:50 |
| rapacity | :p corporations only care about making profit | 03:50 |
| ous | though to be fair there are bigger things that contribute more towrds that | 03:50 |
| rapacity | yeah I'm on dsl | 03:50 |
| ous | true | 03:50 |
| ous | well it was good talking to you | 03:51 |
| ous | you have a good night/morning | 03:51 |
| rapacity | to you too d: | 03:52 |
| youssefchaker | anybody on here by any chance? | 22:56 |
| youssefchaker | anyone on ubuntu getting crashes? | 22:58 |
| rapacity | requiem got some crash recently, something about an NFS error, and lots of seevices not starting | 23:02 |
| rapacity | though I don't use ubuntu so d: | 23:02 |
| youssefchaker | it's been happening the past couple of days | 23:14 |
| youssefchaker | i updated some stuff yesterday | 23:14 |
| youssefchaker | i have been away for 3 weeks | 23:14 |
| youssefchaker | so i have no idea what might have happened | 23:14 |
| youssefchaker | i keep my desktop on even when i'm away! | 23:14 |
| youssefchaker | thanks though | 23:20 |
