[08:15] use [08:15] oh [08:15] phone ketboard [08:16] keyboard [08:16] no only freenode [08:16] and have my own ##kilos and used to sit on #glug.za and #ubuntu-afr [08:17] lol [08:17] fone texting sucks [08:17] brb [08:27] brb [08:29] i is here [08:29] wb [08:30] now on a desktop [08:30] ah [08:31] why you ask about irc channels magespawn [08:31] laptop busy with its updates [08:32] yeah the install actually goes much quicker than updating [08:33] hi magespawn [08:36] hi superfly [08:37] this one is quiet compared to others. [08:37] have just found this from gussliber on twitter http://mg.co.za/article/2011-09-13-ag-pleez-daddy/ [08:39] what is up with my firefox today? [08:42] peeps here work more magespawn [08:43] if you want action go to #ubuntu [08:43] i cant keep up there [08:44] agg no this suits me fine [08:44] what version superfly? [08:44] 7 beta [08:46] i stopped using that because of problems with the sync between the laptop and the phone [08:46] I'm not using Sync [08:49] magespawn: what do you think of the judge's ruling? [08:49] which one? [08:50] the one to ban Juju from singing [08:53] 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 [09:01] http://www.news24.com/Columnists/Khaya-Dlanga/The-K-is-not-OK-OK-20110914 this says it quite nicely at the bottom [09:02] censure the person not the song or word. [09:02] 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 [09:16] yes [10:02] wooo hooo laptop up and running again now now to load it down with superfluous software [10:15] lol [10:15] you got natty on there [10:29] no lucid [10:29] ah [10:29] lts [10:29] yup [10:29] i prefer maverick to lucid [10:29] just a little bit better [10:30] maverick is really kiff. my only hassle is from power cuts while busy i think [13:18] howdy all [13:20] afternoon magespawn [13:20] laptop now has xchat again so here i am [13:20] did a clean install [13:21] superfly what is the best way to upgrade firefox? [13:22] magespawn: I don't know, I'm using the 11.10 beta [13:23] yeah i was too but with the reinstall i am now back to the default for lucid lynx i think 3.something [13:27] would there be away to use apt-get to make sure it gets the latest stable release [13:29] magespawn: I think there's a PPA somewhere [13:29] Maaz: google for firefox ppa [13:29] 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 [13:30] ta i always forget about Maaz [13:32] and Google :-P [13:39] brb [13:42] thanks i used this one http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/firefox-5-lands-in-firefox-stable-ppa.html [13:44] using the command line and apt-get is still faster than the software centre [13:48] much better now using firefox 6 [13:49] magespawn, try epiphany-browser [13:49] then you can tell me too how to show lotsa tabs on one window not a new one everytime [13:51] never heard of that one [13:51] its quite close to ffox [13:52] works well here [13:52] faster than firefox [13:52] the fly told me to try it way back then [13:57] and doesnt want to update all the time [13:57] add ons? [13:57] it has lotsa stuff [13:58] okay busy installing now [14:01] only thing i found is yahoo doesnt recognise the browser but everything there still opens [14:01] i am not too worried about updates have uncapped adsl line [14:01] never use yahoo any way [14:04] looks okay reasonable speed so far. [14:06] not bad loads my regular sites quickly [14:06] i use it all the time [14:06] much faster than the fox [14:06] what did you want to know? [14:07] the fox struggled on gprs [14:07] sometimes yes [14:07] um [14:07] then you can tell me too how to show lotsa tabs on one window not a new one everytime [14:07] mine opens every link i go to in a new window not new tab [14:07] that what you said^ [14:07] otherwise its same as the fox [14:07] weird hold on [14:08] lol [14:08] i musta done something wrong again [14:09] i cannot see anywhere to change that [14:12] no mine does it too when i follow a link on page i am on [14:12] if i Ctrl-T then it opens a new tab [14:13] when you want to open a link right click rather than left and select open in new tab [14:13] do you not tick the link then [14:13] ah ty [14:14] i use the same thing in ff just in case [14:15] ah [14:15] the person who designs the website can set that as a default but most do not bother [14:16] i dont even know if epiphany is or has been upgraded since karmic [14:17] epiphany has picked up my network printer and put a bookmark in for me [14:17] lol [14:17] allows me to access the printer web interface [14:17] thats nice [14:18] without remembering the ip address [14:18] lol [14:18] i dunno why its faster than ff [14:19] there is another browser as well [14:19] dunno why i left it out here [14:19] midori [14:19] also fast [14:21] fast light weight graphical browser [14:21] i musta forgot seeing as i dont google much [14:40] hey all [14:40] hi Steff_ [14:41] is there a way i can get my hands on a free copy of ubuntu?

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 ;-) [17:25] im sure all our guys are local here [17:26] even though some of them roam around the world [17:28] 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"? [17:29] leave mails on the ubuntu lists [17:30] and check if #ubuntu has any lurking there [17:30] Hm, that's a good idea indeed - will "annoy" everyone at #ubuntu then ;-) [17:31] but you welcome to pop in here when you like. just very quiet unless there is a problem being sorted out [17:31] lol [17:31] Er... uhm. Empty channel :-) [17:31] cant be [17:32] 1614 peeps there [17:33] did you type in /join #ubuntu [17:34] how are you getting here now? [17:34] via your browser [17:35] Nope, using Smuxi. I'll have a try again... [17:35] i dunno smuxi [17:36] are you using ubuntu? [17:38] Yepp, and the problem seems to be that Smuxi lags behind when opening a channel ;-) [17:38] which ubuntu release are you using gjensen-na [17:39] most peeps here use xchat quassel or weechat [17:40] * sakhi needs to make an iso image of the proxy [17:41] and freenode on irc [17:42] Kilos: and irssi. [17:42] oh yes , ty sakhi [17:43] do you have that proxy in a folder [17:43] not yet [17:43] i used quite a nice command to make an iso yesterday [17:43] from a folder on desktop [17:44] 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 ;-) [17:45] if you interested sakhi [17:45] mkisofs -o /tmp/cd.iso /tmp/directory/ [17:45] Kilos: folder or directory sounds like a Windows iso [17:45] ahh [17:45] ta [17:45] can make an iso from anything i think [17:45] except my dog [17:46] if its in the repos it must be ok gjensen-na [18:13] gjensen-na, did you find #ubuntu [18:13] Yepp, I did. Wild Windows discussions there ;-) [18:13] lol [18:14] i cant keep up in that channel [18:14] they type faster than i can read [18:14] 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 ;-) [18:15] you but there you can focus on one at a time [18:15] i forget who asked or said what [18:15] hehe [18:19] Maaz, coffee on [18:19] * Maaz starts grinding coffee [18:23] Coffee's ready for Kilos! [18:25] Maaz, ty [18:25] Enjoy Kilos [18:40] gjensen-na: welcome to #ubuntu-za [18:41] hiya inetpro [18:41] you are most welcome to stick around here while you start to grow the community around you [18:41] gaan dit goed? [18:41] heh Kilos, thanks for being a good citizen [18:41] huh [18:42] Kilos: you always ready to welcome the new guys [18:42] you forget this is my home [18:42] * inetpro lol [18:42] of course i must see who is knocking at the door and welcome them [18:44] Kilos: I'm sure you could get ubuntu membership based on that alone [18:44] oh [18:44] you should apply [18:44] how [18:44] to who [18:45] ask highvoltage, drussell and drubin, they know the process [18:45] ok ty [18:46] and then there are a few others as well [18:46] drussell, how do i apply for ubuntu membership and what do i need to do? [18:46] dont tell me to pass the lpi exam [18:46] hehe [18:48] Kilos: I think you could start by attending some regular meetings at #ubuntu-meeting [18:48] as far as I'm aware anybody is free to take part, you just can't vote [18:49] oh [18:59] hello all [18:59] lo oomkoos [19:03] 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? [19:05] what distro are you using oomkoos [19:05] Ubuntu 11.04 [19:05] and do you have aptitude installed [19:06] dont think I have aptitude [19:06] try sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a [19:06] ok sudo apt-get install aptitude [19:07] you know how to use the terminal hey/ [19:07] yes a little :) [19:07] busy installing aptitude now [19:07] greta [19:07] great as well [19:08] I get: dpkg: error: unknown option --reconfigure [19:09] sorry [19:09] sudo dpkg --configure -a [19:09] i get mixed up [19:09] ok that worked [19:09] no problem thanks for helping! [19:09] is it fixing things [19:10] is it fixed now oomkoos [19:10] well couldnt see anything happening. just got went over to new line [19:11] ok i think its a graphics prob [19:11] sudo aptitude reinstall gdm [19:12] busy running [19:12] 1 package reinstalled [19:13] do you have a graphics card that had to get drivers [19:13] no nothing [19:14] ok [19:14] no dedicated graphics [19:14] gimme a sec i need to find a command [19:14] ok no prob [19:18] i did a clean install and got stuff saved all over and put them in funny places [19:18] i know the feeling [19:18] inetpro, please can you give me the fsck command [19:18] lol [19:19] dis nie die ouder nie maar die dom [19:19] lol [19:21] wb superfly mrs_fly [19:21] man tells me this fsck [-sAVRTMNP] [-C [fd]] [-t fstype] [filesys...] [--] [fs-specific- [19:21] options] [19:22] in human terms? :D [19:22] but i dont remember what the correct command was [19:22] i got the same prob [19:22] need to have everything explained every time [19:23] Kilos: I doubt that it would be a filesystem issue [19:23] Kilos: sorry het gou die kinders bed toe gevat [19:23] np [19:23] there is a option for fsck in the recovery menu and I tried that but it didnt do anything [19:24] i dunno if gdm is the right package in natty [19:24] please note that fsck can be very dangerous [19:24] ok when you boot do you end up at the command prompt [19:24] no i get to my normal login screen [19:25] I once helped a friend on fedora and we lost all his data [19:25] after i enter my password the startup sounds play and I'm presented with my background. Just dont have any menu's [19:25] so, point number 1 is always, do you have backups? [19:25] thanks for the info enetpro. I'll consider myself lucky then that nothing happened [19:26] lol [19:26] ok its the desktop then i think [19:26] jip, atleast know how to do those lol. would like to try and avoid re-installing if possible though [19:27] oomkoos: rename your profile folder and create a fresh one [19:27] have tried that but to no avail. the same problem on the new profile [19:27] that would be /home/YouUserName [19:27] hmm... [19:27] oomkoos: is it a new installation? [19:28] lets try sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop [19:28] 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 [19:29] this install is on my notebook and I dont use it that much [19:29] ok I'll try that now [19:29] oomkoos: when did it happen, was it perhaps an update that caused the failure? [19:30] ok thats done. should I restart and try? [19:30] when did it happen first [19:30] I believe you are correct inetpro. new updates installed and after restart the problems started [19:30] hmm.... what graphics card? [19:30] eish [19:31] onboard graphics [19:31] not sure what chipset this board has [19:31] oomkoos, you have synaptic package manager there hey [19:31] yes i do [19:31]
