| superfly | morning sakhi, maiatoday | 06:19 |
| maiatoday | hi superfly | 06:46 |
| inetpro | good evening | 08:07 |
| inetpro | superfly: wb | 09:20 |
| superfly | thanks, dunno what happened there | 09:20 |
| inetpro | (Ping timeout: 258 seconds) | 09:20 |
| superfly | hrmf, probably Freenode's 7 acting up again | 09:21 |
| Kilos | still in time to say morning superfly and all others | 09:40 |
| superfly | hi Kilos | 09:42 |
| Kilos | rahter poor turnout for the meeting last night. hope that doesnt affect us still being accepted at the powers that be | 09:55 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee on | 09:55 |
| * Maaz washes some mugs | 09:55 | |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for Kilos! | 09:59 |
| Kilos | Maaz, ty | 10:00 |
| Maaz | Enjoy Kilos | 10:00 |
| inetpro | good morning Kilos | 10:00 |
| Kilos | good morning inetpro | 10:00 |
| inetpro | Kilos: the number of attendants should not matter | 10:00 |
| Kilos | i hope so | 10:01 |
| inetpro | we just need to keep the ball rolling | 10:02 |
| Kilos | oh is that all | 10:03 |
| inetpro | Kilos: yep, and I think you are contributing in a good way | 10:03 |
| Kilos | dont they want to see growth | 10:03 |
| inetpro | the fruit will grow sooner or later | 10:03 |
| Kilos | i had a look at ptawug they near 200 members | 10:04 |
| Kilos | if not for the need to use googleearth to get pinpointed i would join them | 10:05 |
| Kilos | i see they even cover other side hartebeestpoort dam | 10:05 |
| inetpro | well I don't think you can compare ptawug with #ubuntu-za | 10:07 |
| inetpro | oh and I think we might even have much more than 200 ubuntu-za members on the mailing list | 10:08 |
| Kilos | no but they seem to be a similar kinda venture and help each other with repos and so via wireless | 10:08 |
| inetpro | I think drubin knows the number | 10:08 |
| inetpro | Kilos: hmm... not exactly the same | 10:09 |
| inetpro | we're just focussing on ubuntu, they are focussed on many things | 10:09 |
| Kilos | no i agree inetpro but if they are into ubuntu then there must be some clever geeks there as well | 10:10 |
| Kilos | and it seems to be a geeky thing to get pleasure out of helping others | 10:10 |
| inetpro | Kilos: obviously they have some clever dudes there and some of them are even members of ubuntu-za | 10:10 |
| Kilos | oh thats good to hear. do you know who? | 10:11 |
| inetpro | nothing wrong with being a member of multiple groups | 10:11 |
| Kilos | because i would hate to have to go through the whole please explain why i cant just quickly download stuff | 10:12 |
| Kilos | if they were all ms oriented i wouldnt be interested at all | 10:12 |
| inetpro | Kilos: they don't provide internet services | 10:13 |
| Kilos | but it seems a way to get around the bandwidth issues most of the time | 10:13 |
| Kilos | yes i saw that | 10:13 |
| inetpro | getting around it is still illegal | 10:14 |
| Kilos | but if you can get repos etc over wireless that already will save lots | 10:14 |
| Kilos | is wireless illegal | 10:15 |
| inetpro | Kilos: nope not exactly, and yes some will probably share stuff like repos over the wires | 10:16 |
| Kilos | thats what i read there that the aim is. to limit the need for bandwidth | 10:17 |
| inetpro | Kilos: just join their irc channel and ask around | 10:19 |
| Kilos | lol. i tried that but i then get kicked off here because i dunno how to make xchat use 2 different servers | 10:20 |

| superfly | fortunately the pictures were safe, it was the motherboard that died | 17:50 |
| Kilos | inetpro, to the best of my knowledge ubuntu is a very tasty flavour with a linux base | 17:50 |

| inetpro | Squirm: wb | 18:02 |
| Kilos | lo Squirm | 18:02 |
| Squirm | heya | 18:03 |
| * Squirm grumbles | 18:03 | |
| Squirm | I'm trying to find a way to unlock my 3g Modem I bought in the UK :/ | 18:03 |
| Kilos | wassup lad | 18:03 |
| Kilos | oh hold on | 18:04 |
| Squirm | DC Unlocker doesn't seem to pick up my modem, yet it says it does | 18:04 |
| Kilos | i got the site on my external i think | 18:04 |
| Squirm | :/ | 18:04 |
| Kilos | Squirm, i got mine from this site | 18:07 |
| Kilos | http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-906388-p-63.html | 18:07 |
| Kilos | most likely without the last bit | 18:07 |
| Kilos | i got an arab modem | 18:08 |
| * nlsthzn_work walks like an Eqyptian... | 18:09 | |
| Kilos | lol | 18:09 |
| Kilos | and you know about modeswitch Squirm | 18:09 |
| Squirm | no? | 18:09 |
| Kilos | usb-modeswitch in synaptic other wise pc sdoesnt see 3g modem | 18:10 |
| Squirm | ah | 18:10 |
| Kilos | i think it was usb-modeswitch | 18:10 |
| Squirm | I just need to figure out how to unlock it first | 18:10 |
| Kilos | that link above | 18:11 |
| Squirm | yeah, but then how to actually do it | 18:11 |
| Kilos | i think i had to register before they helped but then it was within 2 hours | 18:11 |
| Kilos | they give you a code | 18:11 |
| Kilos | oh my goodness | 18:12 |
| Kilos | then i had to plug it into a windows pc and let it install | 18:12 |
| Kilos | then when you got a local sim in it will ask for the code those peeps will give you | 18:13 |
| Kilos | called a NCK code | 18:13 |
| Kilos | and maybe a NSCK code | 18:13 |
| Squirm | ok | 18:14 |
| Kilos | good luck | 18:15 |
| * Squirm breathes | 18:17 | |
| Kilos | lol | 18:17 |
| Squirm | here in town they wanted to charge me R150, thats almost 15 pounds | 18:17 |
| Squirm | bleh | 18:17 |
| inetpro | hmm... "then i had to plug it into a windows pc"? that is just sad | 18:18 |
| Squirm | inetpro: it's sad they only make windows specific software | 18:18 |
| Kilos | yeah inetpro the 3g modems dont install to ubuntu as they do to windows | 18:19 |
| Kilos | and it wont ask for an unlock code unless you are in its own program | 18:19 |
| inetpro | surely there must be a simple AT command to talk to it? | 18:19 |
| Kilos | they lock them to the service provider | 18:19 |
| Kilos | like our mtn and voda do | 18:20 |
| Kilos | do like i did. installed xp on p3 just to unlock the modem | 18:20 |
| Kilos | those gsm guys were very helpful | 18:22 |
| Kilos | they even supply firmware for modems and flash goodies | 18:23 |
| Kilos | i didnt go that far just unlocked and it works kiff | 18:23 |
| Squirm | that's all I want | 18:23 |
| Kilos | they will give you the unlock code | 18:24 |
| Kilos | windows peeps can even get a program that will work the code out | 18:24 |
| Squirm | yeah, I tried DC Unlocker | 18:24 |
| Squirm | which should unlock it, doesnt need a code or anything | 18:25 |
| Squirm | but idk, I think it's just my pc not liking my dongle | 18:25 |
| Squirm | :/ | 18:25 |
| Squirm | thats actually what I think it is | 18:25 |
| Kilos | those gsm guys know all about fones and 3g modems, that their game | 18:25 |
| Kilos | you gotta install usb-modeswitch | 18:27 |
| Kilos | then network manager works kiff | 18:27 |
| Squirm | of which I dont have either | 18:27 |
| Kilos | oh yes you not on ubuntu hey? | 18:28 |
| Squirm | will have to figure something out that doesnt use gnome. I could just settle for wvdial | 18:28 |
| Squirm | im still with debian though | 18:28 |
| Kilos | i tried that but it didnt work for me | 18:28 |
| Squirm | I've had it working before | 18:29 |
| Kilos | but anyway you will first need the unlock code put into the modem | 18:29 |
| Kilos | we got ians working on kubuntu | 18:29 |
| Kilos | those gsm guys will help you Squirm | 18:30 |
| Kilos | once it is unlocked it will work on any OS | 18:31 |
| Kilos | aw dan cucked without greeting | 18:45 |
| Kilos | chucked | 18:45 |
| Kilos | ducked | 18:45 |

| Langjan | Hi to all the young boffins, are you well? | 19:28 |
| nlsthzn_work | Hi Uncle Langjan | 19:28 |
| nlsthzn_work | I am well and you? | 19:28 |
| * nlsthzn_work isn't a boffin but still being polite :p | 19:29 | |
| Langjan | Good to hear, I'm also doing fine thanks. Just being polite already makes you a boffin... | 19:30 |
| nlsthzn_work | Hehe, OK :) | 19:31 |
| Langjan | My screen goes upside-down when I select extra visual effects on my Ubuntu 10.10. Any suggestions about what to do? Tried to reset to upside down but it reverts before I can sort out the inverted buttons. | 19:31 |
| === nlsthzn_work is now known as qazxswedc | ||
| === qazxswedc is now known as nlsthzn_work | ||
| Langjan | nlsthzn, now I have to learn to type qazxswedc and I am not even getting nlsthzn right yet...hoekom maak julle dit so moeilik vir die oumense? | 19:43 |
| nlsthzn_work | Langjan: :) sorry was busy on another channel... but an easy way to do IRC is to type the first few letters than press tab ;) | 19:47 |
| Langjan | Excuse my ignorance - what is IRC? | 19:48 |
| nlsthzn_work | oh, we are currently chatting via IRC... Interet Relay Chat :) | 19:49 |
| Langjan | nlsthzn, wow! Thanks | 19:50 |
| Langjan | nlsthzn, any ideas on the upside-down screen? | 19:50 |
| nlsthzn_work | Langjan: upside down screen? | 19:52 |
| Langjan | yes, when I select extra visual effects, the screen goes upside down | 19:53 |
| nlsthzn_work | haha... that is weird (and annoying I am sure) | 19:54 |
| Langjan | very much so, I tried to get to the screen settings to see if selecting upside down mode will sort the problem, but perhaps that is not the right solution. | 19:55 |
| nlsthzn_work | To be honest I am not sure and very far from a Linux machine right now... | 20:00 |
| Langjan | OK thanks, it's not serious. | 20:01 |
| nlsthzn_work | Sokkies... that is an awesome name for IRC :D | 20:46 |
| Sokkies | Haha thanks. why do you say so? or are you being sarcastic | 20:47 |
| nlsthzn_work | No... it is... might be because I haven't been in SA for a few years and miss a bit of afrikaans but I like it :) | 20:49 |
| Sokkies | awesome. | 20:52 |
