[10:00] Maaz, ty [10:00] Enjoy Kilos [10:00] good morning Kilos [10:00] good morning inetpro [10:00] Kilos: the number of attendants should not matter [10:01] i hope so [10:02] we just need to keep the ball rolling [10:03] oh is that all [10:03] Kilos: yep, and I think you are contributing in a good way [10:03] dont they want to see growth [10:03] the fruit will grow sooner or later [10:04] i had a look at ptawug they near 200 members [10:05] if not for the need to use googleearth to get pinpointed i would join them [10:05] i see they even cover other side hartebeestpoort dam [10:07] well I don't think you can compare ptawug with #ubuntu-za [10:08] oh and I think we might even have much more than 200 ubuntu-za members on the mailing list [10:08] no but they seem to be a similar kinda venture and help each other with repos and so via wireless [10:08] I think drubin knows the number [10:09] Kilos: hmm... not exactly the same [10:09] we're just focussing on ubuntu, they are focussed on many things [10:10] no i agree inetpro but if they are into ubuntu then there must be some clever geeks there as well [10:10] and it seems to be a geeky thing to get pleasure out of helping others [10:10] Kilos: obviously they have some clever dudes there and some of them are even members of ubuntu-za [10:11] oh thats good to hear. do you know who? [10:11] nothing wrong with being a member of multiple groups [10:12] because i would hate to have to go through the whole please explain why i cant just quickly download stuff [10:12] if they were all ms oriented i wouldnt be interested at all [10:13] Kilos: they don't provide internet services [10:13] but it seems a way to get around the bandwidth issues most of the time [10:13] yes i saw that [10:14] getting around it is still illegal [10:14] but if you can get repos etc over wireless that already will save lots [10:15] is wireless illegal [10:16] Kilos: nope not exactly, and yes some will probably share stuff like repos over the wires [10:17] thats what i read there that the aim is. to limit the need for bandwidth [10:19] Kilos: just join their irc channel and ask around [10:20] lol. i tried that but i then get kicked off here because i dunno how to make xchat use 2 different servers === Squirm2 is now known as Squirm [13:21] o/ [13:22] what do you guys think I can use to clean the letters off my keyboard?

[18:09] lol [18:09] and you know about modeswitch Squirm [18:09] no? [18:10] usb-modeswitch in synaptic other wise pc sdoesnt see 3g modem [18:10] ah [18:10] i think it was usb-modeswitch [18:10] I just need to figure out how to unlock it first [18:11] that link above [18:11] yeah, but then how to actually do it [18:11] i think i had to register before they helped but then it was within 2 hours [18:11] they give you a code [18:12] oh my goodness [18:12] then i had to plug it into a windows pc and let it install [18:13] then when you got a local sim in it will ask for the code those peeps will give you [18:13] called a NCK code [18:13] and maybe a NSCK code [18:14] ok [18:15] good luck [18:17] * Squirm breathes [18:17] lol [18:17] here in town they wanted to charge me R150, thats almost 15 pounds [18:17] bleh [18:18] hmm... "then i had to plug it into a windows pc"? that is just sad [18:18] inetpro: it's sad they only make windows specific software [18:19] yeah inetpro the 3g modems dont install to ubuntu as they do to windows [18:19] and it wont ask for an unlock code unless you are in its own program [18:19] surely there must be a simple AT command to talk to it? [18:19] they lock them to the service provider [18:20] like our mtn and voda do [18:20] do like i did. installed xp on p3 just to unlock the modem [18:22] those gsm guys were very helpful [18:23] they even supply firmware for modems and flash goodies [18:23] i didnt go that far just unlocked and it works kiff [18:23] that's all I want [18:24] they will give you the unlock code [18:24] windows peeps can even get a program that will work the code out [18:24] yeah, I tried DC Unlocker [18:25] which should unlock it, doesnt need a code or anything [18:25] but idk, I think it's just my pc not liking my dongle [18:25] :/ [18:25] thats actually what I think it is [18:25] those gsm guys know all about fones and 3g modems, that their game [18:27] you gotta install usb-modeswitch [18:27] then network manager works kiff [18:27] of which I dont have either [18:28] oh yes you not on ubuntu hey? [18:28] will have to figure something out that doesnt use gnome. I could just settle for wvdial [18:28] im still with debian though [18:28] i tried that but it didnt work for me [18:29] I've had it working before [18:29] but anyway you will first need the unlock code put into the modem [18:29] we got ians working on kubuntu [18:30] those gsm guys will help you Squirm [18:31] once it is unlocked it will work on any OS [18:45] aw dan cucked without greeting [18:45] chucked [18:45] ducked [18:46] Kilos: at least I'm still here [18:46] ya thanks man [18:47] :-) [18:47] dit bietjie koud ne inetpro [18:47] Kilos: my feet are freezing [18:48] inetpro: sheep skin slippers :-D [18:48] yeah mine too, and hands and nose and ears [18:48] superfly: ahh, sounds nice and warm, where do I get those?

[19:28] Hi Uncle Langjan [19:28] I am well and you? [19:29] * nlsthzn_work isn't a boffin but still being polite :p [19:30] Good to hear, I'm also doing fine thanks. Just being polite already makes you a boffin... [19:31] Hehe, OK :) [19:31] 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. === nlsthzn_work is now known as qazxswedc === qazxswedc is now known as nlsthzn_work [19:43] 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? [19:47] Langjan: :) sorry was busy on another channel... but an easy way to do IRC is to type the first few letters than press tab ;) [19:48] Excuse my ignorance - what is IRC? [19:49] oh, we are currently chatting via IRC... Interet Relay Chat :) [19:50] nlsthzn, wow! Thanks [19:50] nlsthzn, any ideas on the upside-down screen? [19:52] Langjan: upside down screen? [19:53] yes, when I select extra visual effects, the screen goes upside down [19:54] haha... that is weird (and annoying I am sure) [19:55] 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. [20:00] To be honest I am not sure and very far from a Linux machine right now... [20:01] OK thanks, it's not serious. [20:46] Sokkies... that is an awesome name for IRC :D [20:47] Haha thanks. why do you say so? or are you being sarcastic [20:49] 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 :) [20:52] awesome.
