| Kilos | morning magespawn | 07:57 |
| sakhi | morning magespawn | 07:58 |
| magespawn | how are you on this fine day? | 07:58 |
| Kilos | good ty | 07:59 |
| magespawn | just formatting laptop hardrive for a clean installl | 08:06 |
| Kilos | lol | 08:06 |
| magespawn | mmm love a clean install | 08:11 |
| magespawn | Kilos do you uxse othe IRC channels? | 08:15 |
| Kilos | uxse? | 08:15 |
| magespawn | use | 08:15 |
| Kilos | oh | 08:15 |
| magespawn | phone ketboard | 08:15 |
| magespawn | keyboard | 08:16 |
| Kilos | no only freenode | 08:16 |
| Kilos | and have my own ##kilos and used to sit on #glug.za and #ubuntu-afr | 08:16 |
| Kilos | lol | 08:17 |
| Kilos | fone texting sucks | 08:17 |
| Kilos | brb | 08:17 |
| magespawn | brb | 08:27 |
| magespawn | i is here | 08:29 |
| Kilos | wb | 08:29 |
| magespawn | now on a desktop | 08:30 |
| Kilos | ah | 08:30 |
| Kilos | why you ask about irc channels magespawn | 08:31 |
| magespawn | laptop busy with its updates | 08:31 |
| Kilos | yeah the install actually goes much quicker than updating | 08:32 |
| superfly | hi magespawn | 08:33 |
| magespawn | hi superfly | 08:36 |
| magespawn | this one is quiet compared to others. | 08:37 |
| magespawn | have just found this from gussliber on twitter http://mg.co.za/article/2011-09-13-ag-pleez-daddy/ | 08:37 |
| superfly | what is up with my firefox today? | 08:39 |
| Kilos | peeps here work more magespawn | 08:42 |
| Kilos | if you want action go to #ubuntu | 08:43 |
| Kilos | i cant keep up there | 08:43 |
| magespawn | agg no this suits me fine | 08:44 |
| magespawn | what version superfly? | 08:44 |
| superfly | 7 beta | 08:44 |
| magespawn | i stopped using that because of problems with the sync between the laptop and the phone | 08:46 |
| superfly | I'm not using Sync | 08:46 |
| superfly | magespawn: what do you think of the judge's ruling? | 08:49 |
| magespawn | which one? | 08:49 |
| superfly | the one to ban Juju from singing | 08:50 |
| magespawn | i hear they banned the song as well which is not a good thing. if they only ban him from singing it that says, to me, that as a person in a position of power you must watch what you say and do | 08:53 |
| magespawn | http://www.news24.com/Columnists/Khaya-Dlanga/The-K-is-not-OK-OK-20110914 this says it quite nicely at the bottom | 09:01 |
| magespawn | censure the person not the song or word. | 09:02 |
| superfly | yes, I agree. the problem is that Malema can and does incite violence... heck, even the YL was violent toward their parent body, the ANC | 09:02 |
| magespawn | yes | 09:16 |
| magespawn | wooo hooo laptop up and running again now now to load it down with superfluous software | 10:02 |
| Kilos | lol | 10:15 |
| Kilos | you got natty on there | 10:15 |
| magespawn | no lucid | 10:29 |
| Kilos | ah | 10:29 |
| Kilos | lts | 10:29 |
| magespawn | yup | 10:29 |
| Kilos | i prefer maverick to lucid | 10:29 |
| Kilos | just a little bit better | 10:29 |
| Kilos | maverick is really kiff. my only hassle is from power cuts while busy i think | 10:30 |
| magespawn | howdy all | 13:18 |
| superfly | afternoon magespawn | 13:20 |
| magespawn | laptop now has xchat again so here i am | 13:20 |
| magespawn | did a clean install | 13:20 |
| magespawn | superfly what is the best way to upgrade firefox? | 13:21 |
| superfly | magespawn: I don't know, I'm using the 11.10 beta | 13:22 |
| magespawn | yeah i was too but with the reinstall i am now back to the default for lucid lynx i think 3.something | 13:23 |
| magespawn | would there be away to use apt-get to make sure it gets the latest stable release | 13:27 |
| superfly | magespawn: I think there's a PPA somewhere | 13:29 |
| superfly | Maaz: google for firefox ppa | 13:29 |
| Maaz | superfly: "Firefox Stable Channel Packages : “Mozilla Team” team" https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable :: "Official PPA for Firefox and Thunderbird daily builds : “Ubuntu ..." https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa :: "Firefox 5 Lands In The Firefox Stable PPA For Ubuntu 10.10 And ..." http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/firefox-5-lands-in-firefox-stable-ppa.html :: "Install Firefox 4 In Ubuntu 10.04 | 13:29 |
| magespawn | ta i always forget about Maaz | 13:30 |
| superfly | and Google :-P | 13:32 |
| magespawn | brb | 13:39 |
| magespawn | thanks i used this one http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/firefox-5-lands-in-firefox-stable-ppa.html | 13:42 |
| magespawn | using the command line and apt-get is still faster than the software centre | 13:44 |
| magespawn | much better now using firefox 6 | 13:48 |
| Kilos | magespawn, try epiphany-browser | 13:49 |
| Kilos | then you can tell me too how to show lotsa tabs on one window not a new one everytime | 13:49 |
| magespawn | never heard of that one | 13:51 |
| Kilos | its quite close to ffox | 13:51 |
| Kilos | works well here | 13:52 |
| Kilos | faster than firefox | 13:52 |
| Kilos | the fly told me to try it way back then | 13:52 |
| Kilos | and doesnt want to update all the time | 13:57 |
| magespawn | add ons? | 13:57 |
| Kilos | it has lotsa stuff | 13:57 |
| magespawn | okay busy installing now | 13:58 |
| Kilos | only thing i found is yahoo doesnt recognise the browser but everything there still opens | 14:01 |
| magespawn | i am not too worried about updates have uncapped adsl line | 14:01 |
| magespawn | never use yahoo any way | 14:01 |
| magespawn | looks okay reasonable speed so far. | 14:04 |
| magespawn | not bad loads my regular sites quickly | 14:06 |
| Kilos | i use it all the time | 14:06 |
| Kilos | much faster than the fox | 14:06 |
| magespawn | what did you want to know? | 14:06 |
| Kilos | the fox struggled on gprs | 14:07 |
| magespawn | sometimes yes | 14:07 |
| Kilos | um | 14:07 |
| magespawn | then you can tell me too how to show lotsa tabs on one window not a new one everytime | 14:07 |
| Kilos | mine opens every link i go to in a new window not new tab | 14:07 |
| magespawn | that what you said^ | 14:07 |
| Kilos | otherwise its same as the fox | 14:07 |
| magespawn | weird hold on | 14:07 |
| Kilos | lol | 14:08 |
| Kilos | i musta done something wrong again | 14:08 |
| magespawn | i cannot see anywhere to change that | 14:09 |
| magespawn | no mine does it too when i follow a link on page i am on | 14:12 |
| magespawn | if i Ctrl-T then it opens a new tab | 14:12 |
| magespawn | when you want to open a link right click rather than left and select open in new tab | 14:13 |
| Kilos | do you not tick the link then | 14:13 |
| Kilos | ah ty | 14:13 |
| magespawn | i use the same thing in ff just in case | 14:14 |
| Kilos | ah | 14:15 |
| magespawn | the person who designs the website can set that as a default but most do not bother | 14:15 |
| Kilos | i dont even know if epiphany is or has been upgraded since karmic | 14:16 |
| magespawn | epiphany has picked up my network printer and put a bookmark in for me | 14:17 |
| Kilos | lol | 14:17 |
| magespawn | allows me to access the printer web interface | 14:17 |
| Kilos | thats nice | 14:17 |
| magespawn | without remembering the ip address | 14:18 |
| Kilos | lol | 14:18 |
| Kilos | i dunno why its faster than ff | 14:18 |
| Kilos | there is another browser as well | 14:19 |
| Kilos | dunno why i left it out here | 14:19 |
| Kilos | midori | 14:19 |
| Kilos | also fast | 14:19 |
| Kilos | fast light weight graphical browser | 14:21 |
| Kilos | i musta forgot seeing as i dont google much | 14:21 |

| gjensen-na | Greetings from your "next door neighbours", the new Ubuntu Namibia LoCo team :-) | 17:22 |
| Kilos | hi gjensen-na | 17:22 |
| gjensen-na | I was wondering - do you have members from Namibia in your LoCo? Or would know Namibians interested in Ubuntu? I'm a bit "member" hunting at the moment, and certainly could need some help "spreading the word". Perhaps I'm a bit too upfront here - sorry that, but that's just me ;-) | 17:24 |
| Kilos | im sure all our guys are local here | 17:25 |
| Kilos | even though some of them roam around the world | 17:26 |
| gjensen-na | Well, was worth a try ;-) Trying out all possible "channels" (communication - not IRC) to reach people here though. What would be your advice for "best type of attention grabber"? | 17:28 |
| Kilos | leave mails on the ubuntu lists | 17:29 |
| Kilos | and check if #ubuntu has any lurking there | 17:30 |
| gjensen-na | Hm, that's a good idea indeed - will "annoy" everyone at #ubuntu then ;-) | 17:30 |
| Kilos | but you welcome to pop in here when you like. just very quiet unless there is a problem being sorted out | 17:31 |
| Kilos | lol | 17:31 |
| gjensen-na | Er... uhm. Empty channel :-) | 17:31 |
| Kilos | cant be | 17:31 |
| Kilos | 1614 peeps there | 17:32 |
| Kilos | did you type in /join #ubuntu | 17:33 |
| Kilos | how are you getting here now? | 17:34 |
| Kilos | via your browser | 17:34 |
| gjensen-na | Nope, using Smuxi. I'll have a try again... | 17:35 |
| Kilos | i dunno smuxi | 17:35 |
| Kilos | are you using ubuntu? | 17:36 |
| gjensen-na | Yepp, and the problem seems to be that Smuxi lags behind when opening a channel ;-) | 17:38 |
| Kilos | which ubuntu release are you using gjensen-na | 17:38 |
| Kilos | most peeps here use xchat quassel or weechat | 17:39 |
| * sakhi needs to make an iso image of the proxy | 17:40 | |
| Kilos | and freenode on irc | 17:41 |
| sakhi | Kilos: and irssi. | 17:42 |
| Kilos | oh yes , ty sakhi | 17:42 |
| Kilos | do you have that proxy in a folder | 17:43 |
| sakhi | not yet | 17:43 |
| Kilos | i used quite a nice command to make an iso yesterday | 17:43 |
| Kilos | from a folder on desktop | 17:43 |
| gjensen-na | I'm using 11.04, found Smuxi in the Software Center, installed it - works. Has been a long time since I last used IRC, so that's why I'm probably not missing anyhting in Smuxi ;-) | 17:44 |
| Kilos | if you interested sakhi | 17:45 |
| Kilos | mkisofs -o /tmp/cd.iso /tmp/directory/ | 17:45 |
| sakhi | Kilos: folder or directory sounds like a Windows iso | 17:45 |
| sakhi | ahh | 17:45 |
| sakhi | ta | 17:45 |
| Kilos | can make an iso from anything i think | 17:45 |
| Kilos | except my dog | 17:45 |
| Kilos | if its in the repos it must be ok gjensen-na | 17:46 |
| Kilos | gjensen-na, did you find #ubuntu | 18:13 |
| gjensen-na | Yepp, I did. Wild Windows discussions there ;-) | 18:13 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:13 |
| Kilos | i cant keep up in that channel | 18:14 |
| Kilos | they type faster than i can read | 18:14 |
| gjensen-na | Uh well - that's part of the fun isn't it? I mean: in a pub you also don't keep up with *all* discussions around you at the same time ;-) | 18:14 |
| Kilos | you but there you can focus on one at a time | 18:15 |
| Kilos | i forget who asked or said what | 18:15 |
| Kilos | hehe | 18:15 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee on | 18:19 |
| * Maaz starts grinding coffee | 18:19 | |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for Kilos! | 18:23 |
| Kilos | Maaz, ty | 18:25 |
| Maaz | Enjoy Kilos | 18:25 |
| inetpro | gjensen-na: welcome to #ubuntu-za | 18:40 |
| Kilos | hiya inetpro | 18:41 |
| inetpro | you are most welcome to stick around here while you start to grow the community around you | 18:41 |
| Kilos | gaan dit goed? | 18:41 |
| inetpro | heh Kilos, thanks for being a good citizen | 18:41 |
| Kilos | huh | 18:41 |
| inetpro | Kilos: you always ready to welcome the new guys | 18:42 |
| Kilos | you forget this is my home | 18:42 |
| * inetpro lol | 18:42 | |
| Kilos | of course i must see who is knocking at the door and welcome them | 18:42 |
| inetpro | Kilos: I'm sure you could get ubuntu membership based on that alone | 18:44 |
| Kilos | oh | 18:44 |
| inetpro | you should apply | 18:44 |
| Kilos | how | 18:44 |
| Kilos | to who | 18:44 |
| inetpro | ask highvoltage, drussell and drubin, they know the process | 18:45 |
| Kilos | ok ty | 18:45 |
| inetpro | and then there are a few others as well | 18:46 |
| Kilos | drussell, how do i apply for ubuntu membership and what do i need to do? | 18:46 |
| Kilos | dont tell me to pass the lpi exam | 18:46 |
| Kilos | hehe | 18:46 |
| inetpro | Kilos: I think you could start by attending some regular meetings at #ubuntu-meeting | 18:48 |
| inetpro | as far as I'm aware anybody is free to take part, you just can't vote | 18:48 |
| Kilos | oh | 18:49 |
| oomkoos | hello all | 18:59 |
| Kilos | lo oomkoos | 18:59 |
| oomkoos | I'm in need of some help. If someone has the time it would be appreciated. I'm rather noob when it comes to Ubuntu. It seems my GUI fails to start when I log in. I can see the desktop but no toolbars whatsoever. If I start in recovery mode and choose to log in with failsafe graphics then everything is working 100%. How do I go about fixing this problem? | 19:03 |
| Kilos | what distro are you using oomkoos | 19:05 |
| oomkoos | Ubuntu 11.04 | 19:05 |
| Kilos | and do you have aptitude installed | 19:05 |
| oomkoos | dont think I have aptitude | 19:06 |
| Kilos | try sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a | 19:06 |
| Kilos | ok sudo apt-get install aptitude | 19:06 |
| Kilos | you know how to use the terminal hey/ | 19:07 |
| oomkoos | yes a little :) | 19:07 |
| oomkoos | busy installing aptitude now | 19:07 |
| Kilos | greta | 19:07 |
| Kilos | great as well | 19:07 |
| oomkoos | I get: dpkg: error: unknown option --reconfigure | 19:08 |
| Kilos | sorry | 19:09 |
| Kilos | sudo dpkg --configure -a | 19:09 |
| Kilos | i get mixed up | 19:09 |
| oomkoos | ok that worked | 19:09 |
| oomkoos | no problem thanks for helping! | 19:09 |
| Kilos | is it fixing things | 19:09 |
| Kilos | is it fixed now oomkoos | 19:10 |
| oomkoos | well couldnt see anything happening. just got went over to new line | 19:10 |
| Kilos | ok i think its a graphics prob | 19:11 |
| Kilos | sudo aptitude reinstall gdm | 19:11 |
| oomkoos | busy running | 19:12 |
| oomkoos | 1 package reinstalled | 19:12 |
| Kilos | do you have a graphics card that had to get drivers | 19:13 |
| oomkoos | no nothing | 19:13 |
| Kilos | ok | 19:14 |
| oomkoos | no dedicated graphics | 19:14 |
| Kilos | gimme a sec i need to find a command | 19:14 |
| oomkoos | ok no prob | 19:14 |
| Kilos | i did a clean install and got stuff saved all over and put them in funny places | 19:18 |
| oomkoos | i know the feeling | 19:18 |
| Kilos | inetpro, please can you give me the fsck command | 19:18 |
| Kilos | lol | 19:18 |
| Kilos | dis nie die ouder nie maar die dom | 19:19 |
| oomkoos | lol | 19:19 |
| Kilos | wb superfly mrs_fly | 19:21 |
| Kilos | man tells me this fsck [-sAVRTMNP] [-C [fd]] [-t fstype] [filesys...] [--] [fs-specific- | 19:21 |
| Kilos | options] | 19:21 |
| oomkoos | in human terms? :D | 19:22 |
| Kilos | but i dont remember what the correct command was | 19:22 |
| Kilos | i got the same prob | 19:22 |
| Kilos | need to have everything explained every time | 19:22 |
| inetpro | Kilos: I doubt that it would be a filesystem issue | 19:23 |
| inetpro | Kilos: sorry het gou die kinders bed toe gevat | 19:23 |
| Kilos | np | 19:23 |
| oomkoos | there is a option for fsck in the recovery menu and I tried that but it didnt do anything | 19:23 |
| Kilos | i dunno if gdm is the right package in natty | 19:24 |
| inetpro | please note that fsck can be very dangerous | 19:24 |
| Kilos | ok when you boot do you end up at the command prompt | 19:24 |
| oomkoos | no i get to my normal login screen | 19:24 |
| inetpro | I once helped a friend on fedora and we lost all his data | 19:25 |
| oomkoos | after i enter my password the startup sounds play and I'm presented with my background. Just dont have any menu's | 19:25 |
| inetpro | so, point number 1 is always, do you have backups? | 19:25 |
| oomkoos | thanks for the info enetpro. I'll consider myself lucky then that nothing happened | 19:25 |
| Kilos | lol | 19:26 |
| Kilos | ok its the desktop then i think | 19:26 |
| oomkoos | jip, atleast know how to do those lol. would like to try and avoid re-installing if possible though | 19:26 |
| inetpro | oomkoos: rename your profile folder and create a fresh one | 19:27 |
| oomkoos | have tried that but to no avail. the same problem on the new profile | 19:27 |
| inetpro | that would be /home/YouUserName | 19:27 |
| inetpro | hmm... | 19:27 |
| inetpro | oomkoos: is it a new installation? | 19:27 |
| Kilos | lets try sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop | 19:28 |
| oomkoos | no had it for a few months now. to be honest the problem has been around for about a month but never got around to fixing it | 19:28 |
| oomkoos | this install is on my notebook and I dont use it that much | 19:29 |
| oomkoos | ok I'll try that now | 19:29 |
| inetpro | oomkoos: when did it happen, was it perhaps an update that caused the failure? | 19:29 |
| oomkoos | ok thats done. should I restart and try? | 19:30 |
| Kilos | when did it happen first | 19:30 |
| oomkoos | I believe you are correct inetpro. new updates installed and after restart the problems started | 19:30 |
| inetpro | hmm.... what graphics card? | 19:30 |
| Kilos | eish | 19:30 |
| oomkoos | onboard graphics | 19:31 |
| oomkoos | not sure what chipset this board has | 19:31 |
| Kilos | oomkoos, you have synaptic package manager there hey | 19:31 |
| oomkoos | yes i do | 19:31 |
| Kilos | open it | 19:31 |
| Kilos | and tick reload | 19:32 |
| oomkoos | it running | 19:32 |
| Kilos | then mark all upgrades | 19:32 |
| Kilos | see if it has any | 19:32 |
| oomkoos | there is quite a few | 19:33 |
| Kilos | tick mark all upgrades sorry | 19:33 |
| oomkoos | actually a few is a understatement lol | 19:33 |
| Kilos | at the top | 19:33 |
| oomkoos | i did | 19:33 |
| Kilos | then apply | 19:33 |
| Kilos | does it say how many | 19:34 |
| oomkoos | 140 packages | 19:34 |
| Kilos | lol | 19:34 |
| Kilos | wow | 19:34 |
| oomkoos | 270 mb... this will take time lol | 19:34 |
| Kilos | is data a problem | 19:34 |
| Kilos | oh my | 19:34 |
| inetpro | oomkoos: lspci | grep -i vga | 19:34 |
| Kilos | thats about the full update | 19:34 |
| oomkoos | luckily not. and I'm fortunate to at least have a 1mb line | 19:34 |
| inetpro | superfly: wb | 19:35 |
| superfly | inetpro: thanks... my VPS was being weird, and I figured it might have been related to that DoS bug in quassel core that everyone in #quassel discovered | 19:35 |
| superfly | so I upgraded it | 19:35 |
| inetpro | superfly: you think it's better now? | 19:36 |
| Kilos | brb | 19:36 |
| superfly | inetpro: well, I got the upgrade that fixed the bug | 19:36 |
| oomkoos | inetpro: Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated | 19:36 |
| oomkoos | Kilos: about 30 minutes left. I'll report once it's completed | 19:39 |
| Kilos | ok oomkoos | 19:39 |
| Kilos | here are some commands to write down oomkoos | 19:40 |
| Kilos | whenever you install ubuntu | 19:40 |
| Kilos | sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:41 |
| oomkoos | ok i'll make note of those! | 19:41 |
| Kilos | the synaptic mark all upgrades does the same job i think | 19:42 |
| oomkoos | ubuntu normally tells me when there is upgrades available but it's been some time since I used to notebook and also rather difficult without any toolbars lol | 19:43 |
| Kilos | yeah | 19:43 |
| Kilos | if i think back i had a prob once where i didnt have panels either | 19:44 |
| oomkoos | i'm all for the (very) "clean look" but it makes using it rather troublesome hehe | 19:45 |
| Kilos | lol | 19:45 |
| Kilos | after this it should want a reboot | 19:46 |
| Kilos | i dont know if the unity interface looks the same as the gnome one | 19:47 |
| oomkoos | yeah i suppose. I'll reboot and see whats happening | 19:47 |
| Kilos | on gnome the shutdown button goes red | 19:47 |
| oomkoos | not that bothered with how it looks as long as it's not invisible like now... | 19:48 |
| Kilos | im sure the linux kernel is part of the upgrades there | 19:48 |
| Kilos | hehe | 19:48 |
| Kilos | in synaptic you can tick details i think and watch what it is doing | 19:49 |
| nuvolari | o/ g'evenings | 19:49 |
| Kilos | in that little window after apply | 19:49 |
| nuvolari | lo oom Kilos | 19:49 |

| oomkoos | lol as ek 30 dae wag dan sit ek net die nuwe een by en verwyder die ou een hehe | 19:59 |
| nuvolari | oomkoos: hoor hier, is jy op google+? | 19:59 |

| Kilos | then i will know if its the same as gnome | 20:06 |
| Kilos | lol | 20:06 |
| oomkoos | and that just brings up an menu and shutdown is an option | 20:07 |
| Kilos | should also say reboot to complete upgrade | 20:07 |
| Kilos | once everything is installed of course | 20:08 |
| oomkoos | down to 2 min | 20:08 |
| Kilos | yay | 20:08 |
