[09:23] it's Friday? [09:25] last time i checked. [09:26] he left because it is friday? [09:27] lol [09:31] thats a bit extreme. [09:32] no man he is busy or something [09:32] * Kilos looks the poor yanks getting thrashed [09:34] not at as bad as Namibia, at least they got themselves on the scoreboard. [09:34] Namibia were on the scoreboard [09:34] right next to the number zero [09:34] lol [09:35] lol [09:35] ha ha ha [09:46] Hello everyone [09:47] hi DraZoro long time no see [09:48] Yeah Kilos [09:48] I am back in the game [09:48] good [09:48] I will see if I can get a copy of 11.10 over the weekend [09:48] I am still behind :) [09:49] lol i am on maverick still [09:49] natty isnt happy with my pc [09:49] but i checked it out and looks good [09:50] Same here Natty is fighting with me after updates ...but I experimented with gnome-shell so I am not surprised [09:50] I am glad fluxbox is working fine even after crashing unity [09:50] ian has gone kubuntu with natty and loves it [09:50] but his new work is all windows orientated [09:51] Yeah Kubuntu has attracted a lot of candidates since Natty release [09:51] hi DraZoro [09:52] Hello superfly [09:55] I missed the Software Freedom Day but I was lucky to be updated by Kodez [09:57] * superfly is a Kubuntu fanatic [09:57] lol we noticed [09:58] I am planning to give Lubuntu a try with 11.10 [09:58] i tried xubuntu in natty too [09:58] not bad but gnome is more me friendly [09:58] less thinking [09:58] lol [09:58] * nlsthzn strokes his Unity and it purrrrrs back at him [09:59] So many choices I wonder what will be like in 10 years time in open source world [10:00] i think the fly is using 11.10 on his server already [10:06] Kilos: on my desktop, yes, but not on my server [10:06] my servers run the LTS [10:06] ah ty [10:07] It wouldn't be advisable running Beta software on a server (except for testing I guess) :) [10:20] Running a non LTS version on a server has bitten me big time because I couldn't just upgrade the OS every 6 months - the downtime on the site is too risky. We need to redeploy the whole stack. [10:30] i am running natty in my shop but with gnome. most of the user are used to windows gnome is the closest of the two [10:32] I remember last year when I configured a basic internet cafe. The user in my area kept on asking what version of Windows is this ....and funny it was Ubuntu Maverick. [10:34] how did you control the internet access? [10:37] magespawn: That guy closed the business before I could get that step right. [10:37] ohh right. so it was a long term business then. [10:38] I was planning to use Outkafe [10:38] No it was just a small business ...just 3 computers [10:39] had a look at that. i only have 2 at the moment. [10:39] Are you using Outkafe ? [10:57] Anyone else heard of Desura? [10:57] No [10:58] heard of Steam? [10:58] All this is new superfly I will check them out [10:59] DraZoro: they are digital distribution programs for games [10:59] but I was accepted into the Linux beta programme for desura this morning [10:59] Yeah busy googling [11:00] Those are good news [11:09] So you will hosting game severs superfly ? [11:11] DraZoro: no, it just means I can download the Linux client which is in beta testing at the moment [11:11] Oh [11:14] All the best of luck superfly I hope to join you one day. [11:14] Guys I will check in later bye for now. [11:14] cheers DraZoro [11:15] cheers everyone [11:15] Thanks for sharing information ... [11:22] DraZoro, dont stay away for months again [11:23] I won't this time ...every time I am online I will visit the channel. [12:29] hiya Blunt_Man [12:30] never seen you here before [12:30] hmmm he didnt wanna be seen [12:56] hey back again had work to do. [12:57] wb [13:09] can anyone tell me if there is a package that is in more recent use than outkafe? [13:49] what does it do magespawn [13:51] Kilos it is software to manage an internet cafe. server side control for client computers. [13:52] what does maaz say [13:52] is there nothing in the repos [13:54] maaz google internet cafe management with ubuntu [13:54] Kilos: "cafe con leche: Internet cafe management software - Ubuntu Forums" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777093 :: "Linux Cyber Café and Internet Café management software" http://www.cyber-cafe-software.com/Eng/Linux/ :: "Mkahawa - Open-Source Cyber / Internet Cafe Management Software" http://mkahawa.sourceforge.net/downloads.php :: "Cybercafe, Internet Timer software mycafecup Cybercafe, Internet ..." http://cafe.qarchive.org/ [13:55] whew [14:12] i would like to find one that is under active development. [14:14] the mkahawa one seems promising. [14:17] ty Kilos am busy downloading now [14:18] which one mage [14:18] grr [14:18] magespawn, [14:19] i have learned to try use whats available to us as much as possible . i tried some other things a while back and caused big probs on my pc and the fly fought me [14:19] hehe [14:21] mkahawa [14:21] good luck. hope it works kiff for you [14:23] the softvision one is for sale, they only give you a 15 day trial quite pricey 119 usd [14:23] eish [14:24] not too bad, but out of the budget for now. [14:25] there is normally something along the freeware paths that is almost as good and at times better [14:26] or some linux guy has worked out a better way [14:30] there is a piece of software called DD-WRT i think, that allows you to flash your router and control everything from there. [14:30] maaz google DD-WRT [14:30] magespawn: "www.dd-wrt.com | Unleash Your Router" http://www.dd-wrt.com/ :: "Router Database | www.dd-wrt.com" http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database :: "Supported Devices - DD-WRT Wiki" http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices :: "What is DD-WRT? - DD-WRT Wiki" http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/What_is_DD-WRT%3F :: "DD-WRT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT :: "Hack Attack: [14:31] yup thats it. [14:33] found a thingie in synaptic called pessulus you can look at. [14:34] lockdown editor for gnome [14:34] can do things i dont understand [14:34] hehe [15:23] having a look now [15:25] afternoon magespawn [15:25] hi superfly [15:26] Kilos looks like it stops ppl from changing things on the machine, virtually all can be locked. [15:27] might also be useful for use with my kids, they have a tendency to randomly change things. [15:28] there is probable a more powerful may to do it using the terminal [15:28] lol [15:30] i was looking more for software to control the billing of the internet usage, a plus would a way to bill wifi and printing. [15:30] there are plenty of pay options, but most of the usually require a monthly sub. [15:31] i plan to put up an external antenna so that people can access the wifi from other places [15:33] magespawn: don't be scared to pay for something... there are plenty of times when the open source solutions are not at the same level as the commercial solutions [15:37] not scared to pay for things just do not have the money available at the moment. had to move premises and various other problems. [15:44] if there is not a free open version that is good will definitely go the paid root. [16:12] good night all [16:53] * sakhi needs a web authenticator for squid proxies... (authentication will point to an ldap server) [17:01] * nlsthzn is back... back again... [17:02] wb [17:02] ty
