| hads | ajmitch: Nice one! | 01:56 |
|---|---|---|
| hads | Working well? | 01:56 |
| ajmitch | took a bit of effort, had to upgrade firmware to 3.2.4.4, but I have native ipv6 at home with snap now | 01:58 |
| ajmitch | enabling the passthrough & getting it working for ipv4 was pretty easy, just had to run pppoeconf | 01:59 |
| hads | Cool, native 6 is good. | 02:02 |
| ajmitch | yeah, I was surprised to see that snap were making it available for all, rather than an opt-in public trial | 02:03 |
| ajmitch | so I guess it may make some sites a little faster, since I previously had a tunnel active through he.net | 02:04 |
| ajmitch | otherwise I doubt it'll change a lot :) | 02:05 |
| hads | Yeah, I have a couple of tunnels, can't remember which one is active at the moment. | 02:09 |
| hads | Native would be nice but I won't go back to snap | 02:09 |
| ajmitch | other ISPs will get there soon, I hope | 02:16 |
| hads | Yeah, shouldn't be too long before v6 over VDSL is here. | 02:18 |
| ajmitch | which ISP are you with? | 02:19 |
| ajmitch | hardest part at the moment seems to be having dsl modems/routers that actually support ipv6 | 02:19 |
| hads | Been with Telecom for the last 18 months as they were the only ones I could find to provide decent International bandwidth. | 02:21 |
| hads | Was with Snap before that who had issues they weren't prepared to fix. | 02:21 |
| * ajmitch hasn't noticed many issues with snap | 02:22 | |
| hads | Neither did I for a couple years, then one day my connection went from 1MB/s down to 30kB/s. Snap said they were aware of it and didn't consider it an issue. | 02:23 |
| ajmitch | that's a pretty big issue | 02:23 |
| ajmitch | I've usually found the snap support to be helpful & quick to respond | 02:23 |
| hads | Indeed. Held out for a couple months trying to resolve it but had to leave eventually. | 02:23 |
| ajmitch | understandable | 02:24 |
| ajmitch | I wouldn't want to put up with those sort of speeds | 02:25 |
| hads | Quote from a "Senior Technical Specialist"; "There is a number of factors building up to what you are experiencing, and I regret to inform you that we consider this as normal behavior for our network. We are looking into this, but don't consider it an outage at this point." | 02:25 |
| ajmitch | speeds can be a bit limited to the UK & sometimes the US, but not usually dropping down that badly | 02:25 |
| * ajmitch usually gets far better speed at home on snap than at work | 02:26 | |
| locodir-user | hi all | 02:28 |
| locodir-user | r there ANYONE HERE? | 02:28 |
| ajmitch | yes, there are people here | 02:30 |
| locodir-user | hi | 02:31 |
| ajmitch | hello | 02:31 |
| locodir-user | i'm new to this community | 02:31 |
| locodir-user | can u help me out | 02:32 |
| ajmitch | what did you need help with? | 02:33 |
| locodir-user | well i want to join the bug squad | 02:33 |
| locodir-user | i have followed all the steps | 02:33 |
| locodir-user | and have applied there | 02:33 |
| ajmitch | OK | 02:34 |
| * ajmitch doesn't know if anyone here has worked closely with the bugsquad as such | 02:35 | |
| locodir-user | k | 02:35 |
| locodir-user | and what are all the projects u are working now | 02:35 |
| locodir-user | here | 02:35 |
| ajmitch | we don't really work on projects as a group, individual people here do some work on ubuntu, but there's no loco-wide projects | 02:36 |
| locodir-user | kk | 02:36 |
| locodir-user | kk | 02:37 |
| ajmitch | what are you waiting on from the bugsquad? | 02:38 |
| locodir-user | approval | 02:39 |
| locodir-user | i have applied for the membership | 02:39 |
| locodir-user | so,waiting for their approval | 02:39 |
| ajmitch | you have a mentor? | 02:39 |
| locodir-user | nop | 02:40 |
| locodir-user | should i have a mentor? | 02:41 |
| * ajmitch is just reading through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/GettingInvolved & it's one of the steps | 02:42 | |
| ajmitch | I'm assuming that's what you meant when you said you followed all the steps | 02:43 |
| locodir-user | yup | 02:43 |
| * ajmitch hasn't kept up with the changes to the bug squad & other stuff over the last few years | 02:43 | |
| snail | if anyone knows a bright-young-person looking to get a start, we're hiring http://www.seek.co.nz/Job/library-technology-assistant-part-time/in/wellington-wellington-central/20525055 | 02:51 |
| * ojwb didn't realise the treaty of waitangi had employment-related provisions | 02:53 | |
| snail | ojwb: it's binding on the crown, and for these purposes we're part of the crown | 02:54 |
| ojwb | ah, seems a little less strange then | 02:55 |
| ojwb | (still quite strange though) | 02:55 |
| ajmitch | right, but what obligations are there that VUW has to meet under the treaty? | 02:55 |
| snail | ajmitch: that would be a political matter | 02:56 |
| ojwb | probably depends which version you read... | 02:56 |
| snail | but lets just say that no one around here pays for courses in te reo Māori and elated subjects | 02:56 |
| snail | ojwb: if you can read other than the English one, we almost certainly have a job opening for you... | 02:57 |
| ajmitch | heh | 02:57 |
| ojwb | snail: sadly not, though i don't really need a job | 03:00 |
| chilts | morning | 19:58 |
| snail | morning | 20:08 |
| ajmitch | morning | 20:09 |
| Atamira | morning | 20:23 |
| hads | Morning. | 21:32 |
| hads | Anyone running oneiric yet? | 21:32 |
| ajmitch | only in a VM at the moment | 21:33 |
| hads | I just got a replacement for my failed drive and am considering what to install. | 21:33 |
| hads | (laptop) | 21:33 |
| mwhudson | it's nearly beta right, oneiric probably isn't _too_ scary | 21:39 |
| ajmitch | I'll probably update at home, I want to see how unity has changed | 21:40 |
| hads | Yeah, I've normally upgraded at beta level in the past, not for the last couple releases though. | 21:40 |
| mwhudson | i'm tempted to upgrade soon, on the possibly optimistic assumption that unity & compiz & so on are less ****ed in o | 21:40 |
| hads | heh | 21:40 |
| hads | I think I'll give it a crack, good time to try. | 21:40 |
| mwhudson | thumper: hey, does unity work at all well with multiple monitors in o yet? | 21:41 |
| thumper | mwhudson: no idea as I don't use multiple monitors | 21:41 |
| ajmitch | surprising, compiz is using < 300MB of RAM on natty for me at the moment | 21:41 |
| thumper | mwhudson: however njpatel does | 21:41 |
| thumper | so it should be at least usable | 21:41 |
| mwhudson | ok | 21:41 |
| hads | Hmm, need a closer mirror | 21:43 |
| ajmitch | nz.archive.ubuntu.com just had a 404 for me, even after apt-get update | 21:44 |
| ajmitch | so it's not syncing 100% again | 21:44 |
| hads | I'm grabbing an ISO at the moment anyway. | 21:46 |
| hads | May as well test the install | 21:46 |
| hads | Not sure I want to wait an hour and a half to get it though. | 21:47 |
| ajmitch | that's quite a slow download | 21:49 |
| * ajmitch doesn't have a recent ISO to share from a NZ server though | 21:49 | |
| hads | Yeah, they all seem to be far away. | 21:52 |
| mwhudson | there is that thingy that downloads packages from a local mirror and then uses rsync to make it into an iso right? | 21:52 |
| ajmitch | jigdo? that might work for the alternate iso | 21:53 |
| ajmitch | but not for the normal desktop cd where it's one large compressed filesystem | 21:53 |
| mwhudson | ah right | 21:54 |
| ajmitch | thumper: I'm impressed that the unity dash blur even works in virtualbox :) | 22:05 |
| thumper | the live blur has been switched off for now | 22:05 |
| thumper | due to poor performance on some GPUs | 22:06 |
| ajmitch | oh? | 22:06 |
| ajmitch | what is it using then? | 22:06 |
| * ajmitch just updated to what's currently in the archive | 22:06 | |
| thumper | the blur is still there | 22:07 |
| thumper | but it is no longer updated at 25-30 frames/s | 22:07 |
| ajmitch | right | 22:07 |
| thumper | if you were playing a video under the blur, it was blurred | 22:08 |
| thumper | now I think it takes a snapshot | 22:08 |
| ajmitch | I can see how that could kill performance | 22:08 |
| ibeardslee | morning | 22:22 |
| hads | Yay, one ISO downloaded. | 23:27 |
| ibeardslee | oneieric? | 23:28 |
