| Maaz | Coffee's ready for Wolfeyes! | 11:59 |
| superfly | hi Wolfeyes | 12:08 |
| Wolfeyes | it be me superfly tried the sudo grub-update but still no maverick showing | 12:10 |
| Wolfeyes | but quassel looks much like xchat | 12:10 |
| Wolfeyes | now i gott go look the link nlsthzn send but need to do it via stick cause my modem in here | 12:11 |
| nlsthzn | Wolfeyes: it was just a lot of info on grub 2... not a quick fix I fear... and welcome to the big K :) | 12:12 |
| * nlsthzn uninstalled quassel and installled Konversation :p | 12:12 | |
| Wolfeyes | hehe. you just like playing nlsthzn | 12:13 |
| Wolfeyes | have you looked at xchat | 12:13 |
| superfly | Wolfeyes: type in "sudo os-prober" and tell me if it shows maverick | 12:14 |
| nlsthzn | :p hey, I have the present install since yetserday... AFAIK xchat uses gtk so I don't want to use it on K... feels dirty (have to use firefox... :p) | 12:14 |
| superfly | nlsthzn: use Quassel for IRC | 12:15 |
| nlsthzn | Konversation is solid for IRC | 12:15 |
| superfly | ah, ok | 12:15 |
| superfly | it is | 12:15 |
| nlsthzn | :) | 12:16 |
| superfly | I used to use that before switching to Quassel | 12:16 |
| nlsthzn | got some stuff to watch :p bbl | 12:16 |
| Wolfeyes | sudo: os-probe: command not found | 12:17 |
| superfly | ag, os-prober | 12:17 |
| superfly | use your tab-completion! | 12:17 |
| Wolfeyes | lol ok i try that | 12:17 |
| Wolfeyes | nope it only sees windows | 12:19 |
| Wolfeyes | typed it out. dunno what to tab complete on | 12:21 |
| Wolfeyes | it be me not the kid here | 12:21 |
| superfly | if you type in "os-pr" and press tab, it completes to "os-prober" | 12:22 |
| superfly | Wolfeyes: yep, I know | 12:22 |
| superfly | Wolfeyes: apparently some folks had success but running fsck on the other hard drive | 12:23 |
| Wolfeyes | only one 500g sata with sata adapter | 12:23 |
| Wolfeyes | i move modem back to my pc | 12:25 |
| superfly | i.e. if you installed Natty on /dev/sdc1 and you installed maverick on /dev/sdb1, then you run sudo fsck /dev/sdb1 | 12:27 |
| Kilos | when i install kubuntu it gonna take a while to get used to it | 12:33 |
| Kilos | quassel looks good | 12:33 |
| Kilos | just dont understand how ians grub sees xp and natty but not maverick | 12:36 |
| Kilos | i go look that link now | 12:36 |
| Kilos | that kinda involved for me. | 12:45 |
| Kilos | what will happen if i boot from maverick cd and run aptitude install grub2 | 12:45 |
| Kilos | will that crash natty and still not see maverick | 12:46 |
| superfly | Kilos: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10233804&postcount=8 | 12:47 |
| Kilos | ty superfly i will go see | 12:48 |
| Kilos | is there a way i can see what partition maverick is in because i must run | 12:51 |
| Kilos | sudo fsck /dev/xxxx | 12:51 |
| superfly | Kilos: type in "mount" and you should see "/dev/xxxx on / type ext4" somewhere... that's your natty drive | 13:12 |
| Kilos | k | 13:13 |
| Kilos | nope. its on sda2 or sda 3 or sda4 i think but they dont show in mount | 13:16 |
| Kilos | see a /dev/sda7 on /boot type ext4 | 13:18 |
| Kilos | and /dev/sda5 on / type ext4 | 13:22 |
| superfly | Kilos: do you see a "type ntfs" ? | 13:33 |
| superfly | or a type "vfat" ? | 13:33 |
| Kilos | nope i will try get it to a stick and paste it from here | 13:36 |
| Kilos | i cant even make a file on desktop sorry. this might take a while | 13:39 |
| Kilos | gnome way is right click create folder or file | 13:39 |
| Kilos | lots to learn | 13:40 |
| superfly | Kilos: open your home directory | 13:40 |
| superfly | Kilos: I think there's a folder icon next to your menu icon? | 13:41 |
| Kilos | eish now i even lost the bottom panel that kept hiding | 13:50 |
| Kilos | maybe i wait till ian gets done with his kombi | 13:50 |
| Kilos | sorry superfly | 13:50 |
| Kilos | head exploding here | 13:50 |
| Kilos | panel came back. yay | 13:51 |
| Kilos | yay again found more desktops | 13:53 |
| Kilos | yoohoo | 13:53 |
| Kilos | cant find the stick yet | 13:53 |
| Kilos | lol | 13:53 |
| superfly | Kilos: the stick? | 14:27 |
| Kilos | um | 14:28 |
| Kilos | er | 14:28 |
| Kilos | mass storage device | 14:28 |
| Kilos | flash disk | 14:28 |
| Kilos | memory stick | 14:28 |
| superfly | oh right | 14:28 |
| Kilos | daai ding man | 14:28 |
| Kilos | lol | 14:28 |
| superfly | I thought you were talking about something on your desktop! | 14:28 |
| Kilos | no. on ians i got the output of mount and wanted to paste it from here but cant find the stick to copy to | 14:29 |
| Kilos | with gnome it shows on destop but i dont know where to look for it on kubuntu | 14:31 |
| Kilos | yay i think i got it | 14:34 |
| Kilos | this is kinda like learning to walk again | 14:37 |
| Kilos | still doesnt open anywhere so i can copy the file to it then bring here to paste to bin | 14:41 |
| Kilos | maybe better if i move modem back to there and paste it in my channel | 14:42 |
| Kilos | that way i get some quassel practise too | 14:43 |
| Kilos | see you all from there | 14:43 |

| mus000 | hi ubuntu peeps | 16:03 |
| mus000 | i need some help | 16:03 |
| mus000 | I have ubuntu 11.04 running on my laptop | 16:03 |
| mus000 | and I can no longer log in to any session | 16:03 |
| mus000 | it just freezes up, showing a blank screen | 16:03 |
| mus000 | you can see more details of my dilemma at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1766405 | 16:05 |
| superfly | mus000: when you hit gdm, can you press ctrl+alt+f1 and get to a terminal? | 16:08 |
| mus000 | superfly: yes | 16:09 |
| superfly | look to see if you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 16:09 |
| superfly | if you do, rename it and then restart | 16:09 |
| mus000 | hmmm google says I won'y | 16:09 |
| mus000 | brb | 16:09 |
| mus000 | no xorg.conf | 16:10 |
| mus000 | from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1766122 : | 16:10 |
| mus000 | "X11 now autoconifgures itself and the Xorg.conf file is no longer used" | 16:10 |
| superfly | mus000: yes, but X11 will still read from it if it exists | 16:20 |
| superfly | mus000: what was the last thing you did before this started happening... it sounds like a package conflict or configuration issue | 16:20 |
| mus000 | superfly: I can't remember. I think I was just typing in office | 16:21 |
| superfly | did you update your system? | 16:22 |
| superfly | anything that required sudo access? | 16:22 |
| superfly | not immediately before, but in the few hours before | 16:22 |
| mus000 | superfly: nope, I just copied files to and from a flash | 16:23 |
| superfly | when did you last switch your computer on? | 16:24 |
| mus000 | superfly: around 2-ish to copy some files to a flash for annelet | 16:24 |
| mus000 | worked fine then | 16:24 |
| superfly | you must have done something to cause this | 16:24 |
| superfly | things don't just happen on their own... can you recall anything? | 16:24 |
| superfly | literally *anything* | 16:25 |
| mus000 | superfly: I installed some software earlier this week | 16:25 |
| mus000 | superfly: it was wine. I re-installed wine | 16:26 |
| superfly | mus000: do you have a ".unity" directory in your home directory? | 16:26 |
| superfly | try renaming that | 16:26 |
| mus000 | superfly: will do | 16:27 |
| mus000 | back in 2mins | 16:27 |
| mus000 | superfly: how do I rename in a terminal? | 16:29 |
| Kerbero | mv oldname newname | 16:30 |
| mus000 | superfly: no .unity directory | 16:36 |
| * superfly doesn't know Ubuntu from a bar of soap | 16:37 | |
| mus000 | superfly is still the best i know | 16:38 |
| superfly | mus000: on the command line, type in "sudo adduser <new username>" | 16:38 |
| superfly | then "sudo passwd <new username>" | 16:39 |
| superfly | then see if you can log in as that new user | 16:39 |
| mus000 | will do | 16:39 |
| mus000 | brb | 16:39 |
| mus000 | superfly: same problem | 16:41 |
| superfly | so it's a system issue | 16:41 |
| mus000 | i think so | 16:42 |
| superfly | mus000: what graphics card do you have? | 16:50 |
| mus000 | superfly: some on-board ati thing | 16:50 |
| mus000 | but I'm using the generic driver | 16:50 |
| superfly | I dunno, you'll need a Gnome/Unity expert | 16:51 |
| mus000 | superfly: probably | 16:52 |
| Kilos | superfly, is the prob not because i made a boot sector in the seperate partition i made with natty | 17:10 |
| superfly | possibly | 17:10 |
| Kilos | um but windows is still on the first one too | 17:10 |
| * Kilos scratches head | 17:10 | |
| Kilos | maybe i try lists and explain nicely what i have done. might be someone done the same thing | 17:36 |
| kbmonkey | okay :) | 17:40 |
| Kilos | i dont like bugging the fly all the time | 17:48 |
| Kilos | he has already done lots for me | 17:48 |

| Kilos | lo kodez | 19:31 |
| Kilos | you winning? | 19:31 |
| kodez | hi Kilos, how are you? i have not yet managed to install it but am expecting him to come back to me any time as he had promised yesterday | 19:32 |
| Kilos | i am fine ty. you havent installed what? | 19:34 |
| Kilos | oh your modem? | 19:35 |
| kodez | kilos,: do you know someone who is good in postgresql? | 19:35 |
| kodez | + php and javascript? | 19:35 |
| Kilos | no i dont. sorry but someone here will know | 19:36 |
| Kilos | if they can just getta break and/or stop lurking | 19:36 |
| Kilos | hehe | 19:36 |
| Kilos | last i remembered you were trying to get modem going | 19:37 |
| kodez | yes, i thought you were referring to installing the latest ubuntu and am still struggling with the modem. i have everything in place but am failing to understand why it's not working | 19:38 |
| kbmonkey | hi kodez. I did some php but yonks ago, no postgresql tho | 19:40 |
| kodez | hi kbmonkey: i need a way to do a digital clock with the seconds changing like in a wrist watch | 19:43 |
| Kilos | we have natty kubuntu installed and it saw a vodafone modem first time | 19:43 |
| Kilos | maverick couldnt see the modem at all | 19:44 |
| kbmonkey | personally I'd go for html5 canvas for drawing clocks. not all browsers have that tho | 19:45 |
| kbmonkey | a clock would be client side, so javascript. | 19:46 |
| kodez | do you know how can i do it? | 19:47 |
| kodez | i'm more interested in the seconds part of the clock | 19:48 |
| superfly | kodez: I've seen examples on the net - do a bit of googling | 20:01 |
| kodez | thanks superfly, i had already managed to get a link from kbmonkey | 20:02 |
| kbmonkey | there's plenty tuts, just work through a few, you'l get a good idea from those | 20:04 |
| kodez | i am trying to get a terminal hardware to use, can anyone help about where i can buy them? | 21:14 |
| Kilos | night all. sleep warm | 21:15 |
| kodez | noght kilos | 21:15 |
| kodez | night kilos | 21:15 |
| kbmonkey | don't know kodez. electronic hobby stores? | 21:19 |
| superfly | terminal hardware? | 21:20 |
| kodez | i want to use it for internet cafe, i am failing to get a shop that sells the hardware for terminal client | 21:21 |
| kodez | superfly: yes | 21:21 |
| kbmonkey | a dumb terminal | 21:21 |
| kodez | yes | 21:22 |
| superfly | you *might* find something like that at a PC supplier (rectron, axiz, etc) | 21:22 |
| kbmonkey | well thats just a thin client, a PC without a drive | 21:22 |
| kbmonkey | ie boot off USB/CD/MMC and login to a server. your shell can emulate terminal modes if you want those | 21:23 |
| kodez | i don't know the nearest rectron or axis around pretoria but will try searching or contact them | 21:24 |
| kodez | kbmonkey, how will i connect 15 monitors, mouse and keyboards in the set up you proposed? | 21:25 |
| kbmonkey | Would each client not connect to a controlling server via the network | 21:26 |
| kodez | instead of buying 15 boxes, i want to use terminals that will connect to a server(s) | 21:27 |
| kodez | i mean 15 pc boxes | 21:27 |
| kbmonkey | a dumb terminal is usually a pc without any fixed disks, as it just runs a shell and you login to a server as if you were sitting at that server :) | 21:27 |
| kodez | kbmonkey: i agree, what i need is the small pc boxes that are custom built without hard drives that will connect to the server | 21:29 |
| kbmonkey | just a screen and keyboard pretty much eh. | 21:30 |
| kbmonkey | may not be feasible atm, but see this for interest: http://www.raspberrypi.org/ | 21:30 |
| kbmonkey | it is pretty much a thin client | 21:31 |
| kbmonkey | but not a commercial product you can buy just yet | 21:31 |
| kbmonkey | sorry didnt mean to throw in a useless link :p | 21:32 |
| kodez | no problem | 21:32 |
| kbmonkey | dell and hp have thin client ranges | 21:35 |
| kbmonkey | but I cant seem to find if any local stores stock | 21:35 |
| kbmonkey | they specialize in what you are asking :) | 21:36 |
| superfly | there are a number of shops that have thin clients... the checkers and pick n pay types - I wonder where they get them from | 21:47 |
| kbmonkey | sure you can order a bunch of customized boxes from rectron, may need an account with them to do so tho | 21:50 |
| kodez | i will try to check their contact details tomorrow and will take it from there | 21:51 |
| superfly | well, to order anything from rectron you'd need an account | 21:51 |
| kodez | does anyone know of a software to monitor an internet cafe? | 21:51 |
| kbmonkey | not off hand but sourceforge might be a good place to start | 21:52 |
| superfly | kodez: there was OutKafe a few years ago, but I don't think it was that great | 21:55 |
| superfly | there was something else I saw, but I can't remember the name... it was hosted on SF.net, so you'll probably find it | 21:56 |
| kodez | i failed to get outkafe | 21:56 |
| nlsthzn | night all | 22:00 |
| kodez | night nlsthzn | 22:01 |
| superfly | night folks | 22:02 |
| kodez | night superfly | 22:03 |
