[01:56] ajmitch: Nice one! [01:56] Working well? [01:58] took a bit of effort, had to upgrade firmware to 3.2.4.4, but I have native ipv6 at home with snap now [01:59] enabling the passthrough & getting it working for ipv4 was pretty easy, just had to run pppoeconf [02:02] Cool, native 6 is good. [02:03] yeah, I was surprised to see that snap were making it available for all, rather than an opt-in public trial [02:04] so I guess it may make some sites a little faster, since I previously had a tunnel active through he.net [02:05] otherwise I doubt it'll change a lot :) [02:09] Yeah, I have a couple of tunnels, can't remember which one is active at the moment. [02:09] Native would be nice but I won't go back to snap [02:16] other ISPs will get there soon, I hope [02:18] Yeah, shouldn't be too long before v6 over VDSL is here. [02:19] which ISP are you with? [02:19] hardest part at the moment seems to be having dsl modems/routers that actually support ipv6 [02:21] Been with Telecom for the last 18 months as they were the only ones I could find to provide decent International bandwidth. [02:21] Was with Snap before that who had issues they weren't prepared to fix. [02:22] * ajmitch hasn't noticed many issues with snap [02:23] 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] that's a pretty big issue [02:23] I've usually found the snap support to be helpful & quick to respond [02:23] Indeed. Held out for a couple months trying to resolve it but had to leave eventually. [02:24] understandable [02:25] I wouldn't want to put up with those sort of speeds [02:25] 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] speeds can be a bit limited to the UK & sometimes the US, but not usually dropping down that badly [02:26] * ajmitch usually gets far better speed at home on snap than at work [02:28] hi all [02:28] r there ANYONE HERE? [02:30] yes, there are people here [02:31] hi [02:31] hello [02:31] i'm new to this community [02:32] can u help me out [02:33] what did you need help with? [02:33] well i want to join the bug squad [02:33] i have followed all the steps [02:33] and have applied there [02:34] OK [02:35] * ajmitch doesn't know if anyone here has worked closely with the bugsquad as such [02:35] k [02:35] and what are all the projects u are working now [02:35] here [02:36] 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] kk [02:37] kk [02:38] what are you waiting on from the bugsquad? [02:39] approval [02:39] i have applied for the membership [02:39] so,waiting for their approval [02:39] you have a mentor? [02:40] nop [02:41] should i have a mentor? [02:42] * ajmitch is just reading through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/GettingInvolved & it's one of the steps [02:43] I'm assuming that's what you meant when you said you followed all the steps [02:43] yup [02:43] * ajmitch hasn't kept up with the changes to the bug squad & other stuff over the last few years [02:51] 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 [02:53] * ojwb didn't realise the treaty of waitangi had employment-related provisions [02:54] ojwb: it's binding on the crown, and for these purposes we're part of the crown [02:55] ah, seems a little less strange then [02:55] (still quite strange though) [02:55] right, but what obligations are there that VUW has to meet under the treaty? [02:56] ajmitch: that would be a political matter [02:56] probably depends which version you read... [02:56] but lets just say that no one around here pays for courses in te reo Māori and elated subjects [02:57] ojwb: if you can read other than the English one, we almost certainly have a job opening for you... [02:57] heh [03:00] snail: sadly not, though i don't really need a job [19:58] morning [20:08] morning [20:09] morning [20:23] morning [21:32] Morning. [21:32] Anyone running oneiric yet? [21:33] only in a VM at the moment [21:33] I just got a replacement for my failed drive and am considering what to install. [21:33] (laptop) [21:39] it's nearly beta right, oneiric probably isn't _too_ scary [21:40] I'll probably update at home, I want to see how unity has changed [21:40] Yeah, I've normally upgraded at beta level in the past, not for the last couple releases though. [21:40] i'm tempted to upgrade soon, on the possibly optimistic assumption that unity & compiz & so on are less ****ed in o [21:40] heh [21:40] I think I'll give it a crack, good time to try. [21:41] thumper: hey, does unity work at all well with multiple monitors in o yet? [21:41] mwhudson: no idea as I don't use multiple monitors [21:41] surprising, compiz is using < 300MB of RAM on natty for me at the moment [21:41] mwhudson: however njpatel does [21:41] so it should be at least usable [21:41] ok [21:43] Hmm, need a closer mirror [21:44] nz.archive.ubuntu.com just had a 404 for me, even after apt-get update [21:44] so it's not syncing 100% again [21:46] I'm grabbing an ISO at the moment anyway. [21:46] May as well test the install [21:47] Not sure I want to wait an hour and a half to get it though. [21:49] that's quite a slow download [21:49] * ajmitch doesn't have a recent ISO to share from a NZ server though [21:52] Yeah, they all seem to be far away. [21:52] there is that thingy that downloads packages from a local mirror and then uses rsync to make it into an iso right? [21:53] jigdo? that might work for the alternate iso [21:53] but not for the normal desktop cd where it's one large compressed filesystem [21:54] ah right [22:05] thumper: I'm impressed that the unity dash blur even works in virtualbox :) [22:05] the live blur has been switched off for now [22:06] due to poor performance on some GPUs [22:06] oh? [22:06] what is it using then? [22:06] * ajmitch just updated to what's currently in the archive [22:07] the blur is still there [22:07] but it is no longer updated at 25-30 frames/s [22:07] right [22:08] if you were playing a video under the blur, it was blurred [22:08] now I think it takes a snapshot [22:08] I can see how that could kill performance [22:22] morning [23:27] Yay, one ISO downloaded. [23:28] oneieric?
