"special" [13:27] k... every groups got to have one right [13:28] indeed [13:29] r u in SA [13:29] Maaz: u [13:29] superfly: Excuse me? [13:29] yeah, I didn't understand either [13:30] Vamp0611: are you asking if I am in SA? [13:30] * inetpro didn't even see Vamp0611 stepping into the room [13:30] Vamp0611: welcome at #ubuntu-za [13:31] "are you living in South Africa" I need to find a way to get neotel to work on ubunt. [13:31] * Vamp0611 slides into a room [13:31] :-) [13:31] Vamp0611: I think most of us are in SA [13:31] Vamp0611: this is the South African channel for ubuntu [13:32] Vamp0611: what modem do you have? [13:33] neotel prime [13:33] Vamp0611: that's the deal with just a phone? [13:33] and the phone has some USB connection? [13:34] yep [13:34] I think I had that some time ago and got it working on the CLI but I gave up [13:34] their speed was way to slow for me [13:35] I'll have to look at my backups at home and see whether I can find the relevant settings [13:35] later tonight [13:35] but maybe someone else can help so long [13:36] I did not have a problem with the speed just cant use ubuntu with it, I duel boot windows and ubuntu [13:36] * inetpro feels spoilt with speeds of higher than 1Mbps [13:37] Vamp0611: what speeds did you get on Windows? [13:37] I used Ubuntu [13:37] well Kubuntu [13:37] za-free -- demand last mile access to fibre optic cable [13:38] join on fb [13:38] afrodeity: huh? [13:38] it said it was a 2.4mb conection but I download @ 150kb [13:38] no more copper we want fibre [13:39] Vamp0611: well that is the thing, the real speed that you get is definitely much lower than advertised [13:40] if things worked as advirtised I would not need to work [13:40] and these telcos get away with it because they advertise speeds of "up to" a specific amount [13:41] I don't mind not getting to the high amount but I do mind when it's almost unusable [13:41] the "UP TO" is a burst speed every blue moon if you r luky [13:41] afrodeity: wb [13:42] do u perhaps know how to toggle between two channels in weechat? [13:43] afrodeity: hmm... not alt+1,2,3... ? [13:43] hmmn lets see [13:44] * nlsthzn is flu'ish and fuzzy and can't think straight and is sure nobody in the room is making the mistake but just wonders is anyone is confusing kilobits and kilobytes when talking about speed on the internet still.... [13:45] afrodeity: alt + left/right arrows (or F5/F6): switch to previous/next buffer [13:45] Vamp0611: also remember that a 4Mbps connection gives you about 400KB/s - don't confuse Mbps with MB/s [13:46] nlsthzn: no i think i got it 10mb line 1mb download [13:46] nlsthzn: it happens all the time [13:47] just checking... lots of times people get mad when they actually have very decent speed :D [13:47] Vamp0611: got to http://speedtest.net/ [13:47] go to* [13:47] Vamp0611: http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=convert+2.4+Mbps+to+KB%2Fs&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gl=za [13:47] * nlsthzn likes the speedtest.net [13:47] that will help you to determine a relative real speed [13:48] Vamp0611: of course that's not your *actual* speed, because you're not taking packet headers and other things into account [13:48] but it gives you an idea [13:50] from here (PTA North) to jburg 15ms ping, 7.8mbps down, .86mbsp down [13:51] I downloaded 11.04 in about 15min [13:51] sorry .86up [13:52] apparently alt+1 2 3 no work [13:52] done working for the day [13:53] * Vamp0611 stuffs the laptop in a bag and runs out of the office [13:54] * afrodeity puts VR goggles back on [13:56] Maaz, coffee on [13:56] * Maaz puts the kettle on [13:58] f5 or f6 toggles channel in weechat [13:59] yippie [14:00] Coffee's ready for Kilos!

[14:57] ...else no internets for Firefox :p [15:09] cocooncrash: thanks, probably explains why I have to manually start the network after natty upgrade [15:13] anybody have a sysV default list for natty? [15:19] love it when a bug turns into a feature [15:22] the natty upgrade tool must have been assembled by a weed tokin' hippie [16:26] Maaz: lunch [16:26] inetpro: Coffee should be enough...

[19:37] or are you planning a launch party in Southgate? [19:38] :-) [19:38] nope. from southgate, might go to centurion for the launch, not decided yet. [19:39] too late/no interest in the south to get a gathering I think [19:39] heh, you'll be surprised [19:40] I'm sure there are more people using Ubuntu that we still don't know about [19:40] like my brother in law in Shelleybeach who suddenly told me he's been using it for a few months now [19:41] and extremely happy [19:41] no more viri for him [19:41] good to hear [19:42] well lady gaga said she likes ubuntu, so that settles it :D [19:42] serious? [19:43] http://www.junauza.com/2011/04/lady-gaga-goes-gaga-over-ubuntu.html [19:50] april 1 [19:51] getting some celeb testimonial would be cool tho [19:52] apparently they used linux to blow up the Tube [19:54] oh yea april 1, heh didn't read the comments there :p [19:54] blow up what tube? [19:55] * afrodeity chuckles [19:55] checking gulliblity levels [19:56] but still would be good idea [19:56] make some viral vids [19:56] I survived the Natty Upgrade [19:56] and I'm chuffed because I'm not a client of M$ [19:58] would rather get cut down to size, and even be forced to use minix than have money extorted out of me [19:58] hehe [19:58] if you bought a pc preinstalled with win, you were already extorted? [19:59] luckily my box was cheaper without windows [20:00] now they trying to clampdown on android [20:01] have you seen the B&N responding document? [20:01] nope [20:02] it is basically a response to the attack against linux, where M$ literally claims it invented windows [20:02] as in windowing [20:02] and suchlike [20:03] hmm... [20:03] if it looks like an operating system, then M$ must have invented it ...go figure [20:03] is this a new case, not related to the oracle vs google one right? [20:03] hehe [20:03] yep [20:03] massive [20:03] link?

[20:06] * inetpro thought that groklaw is closing down [20:07] didn't think it was much, because comments mostly said the claims looked like rubbish :p [20:07] could go either way in a US court [20:08] yeah heh [20:08] if google gets nortels patents maybe it can do some fighting back [20:08] claims are total rubbish, but take a billion dollars and 20 senior counsel arguing the thing and starts to look, well, weird [20:09] * inetpro hates patents [20:10] my take is this is the end of M$ as a serious contender, it's like trying to enforce a patent on the sandwhich [20:10] however, the IP lobbey in the USA is massive [20:10] now I understand why MS is in bed with Nokia [20:10] they got some patents [20:11] more patents [20:11] M$ couldn't beat us on the desktop, now they want to kill linux on the tablet and phone [20:11] by taking on a relatively small company [20:11] haha, yeah right [20:11] what do you mean desktop? they own desktop atm.. [20:12] they've already succeeded IMHO in slowing us down but they will never stop it [20:12] the snowball is growing [20:12] but the nuisance value alone [20:13] so we need to support B&N, make a noise, [20:13] definitely a big nuisance in me eyes [20:13] litigation is expensive and timeconsuming [20:14] we can't rest on our laurels [20:14] if we complacent, they could loose [20:14]
