| ibeardslee | ajmitch: I find that one of the mirrors in .au is the one that Ubuntu reccomends | 20:41 |
|---|---|---|
| ibeardslee | well except when I am at work | 20:41 |
| * ibeardslee is currently working out how to 'preseed' his apt-cacher-ng cache with the files from an Oneiric DVD iso | 20:43 | |
| ibeardslee | seems to be on the to-do list .. does the netbook upgrade from USB and sets the proxy info before the update | 22:11 |
| ibeardslee | s/upgrade/reinstall/ | 22:11 |
| * ajmitch is all upgraded now, most things are working | 22:13 | |
| ibeardslee | I decided to put 64bit on the netbook | 22:14 |
| ibeardslee | so I just cache the one arch | 22:14 |
| ibeardslee | although my server is still lucid i386 | 22:14 |
| ajmitch | it helped that I still had 10GB left on my cap for the month, and I upgraded to oneiric the day before a new billing month started | 22:15 |
| ibeardslee | nice | 22:15 |
| ibeardslee | ubuntu release cycles are often the killer for my bandwidth cap | 22:17 |
| * ajmitch only used 11.4GB in total last month | 22:17 | |
| ibeardslee | although saved this time around by mainly working from the netbook that got updated through work .. the upgraded PC, hardly got used | 22:18 |
| ajmitch | probably helped a bit by ipv6 traffic still seemingly uncapped | 22:18 |
| * ajmitch uses a linode vps in the US, streaming on hulu works well there :) | 22:19 | |
| ibeardslee | ahh .. I did notice that TelstraClear have added more to their unmetered | 22:21 |
| * ibeardslee is considering a campaign to nag them to add a Ubuntu mirror into that | 22:22 | |
| ajmitch | snap have been adding a bit | 22:22 |
| ajmitch | it'd be nice for snap to have an ubuntu or debian mirror as well | 22:22 |
| ibeardslee | you saw my comment about an .au mirror being preferred? | 22:23 |
| ajmitch | telstraclear's routing is also a bit broken at times | 22:23 |
| ajmitch | I was getting abotu 2MB/sec from nz2.a.u.c, which is vodafone now iirc | 22:24 |
| ibeardslee | and yay something in the kernel has stopped the laptop locking up with the network cable plugged in | 22:24 |
| ajmitch | it was just a bit surprising to only get 500k/sec from citylink | 22:24 |
| ibeardslee | going via .us ? | 22:25 |
| ajmitch | nope | 22:25 |
| ajmitch | mtr showed it going straight to the wellington mirror | 22:25 |
| ajmitch | given how it only took a few minutes to download everything from nz2, I didn't care too much :) | 22:26 |
| ibeardslee | it's a pity our local mirror at work gets ignored by upgrades | 22:26 |
| ibeardslee | distribution upgrades | 22:26 |
| ajmitch | that is a pain, I'm sure there must be some way around that | 22:26 |
| ajmitch | the most worrying problem that I had was games not starting from steam after the pgrade, turns out it's just a wine bug that can be worked around :) | 22:46 |
| * ibeardslee doesn't play many (at all) games | 22:54 | |
| ajmitch | there are only a few there that I play occasionally - civ iv & v | 22:55 |
| ibeardslee | of course with a fresh install you have to wander through wonder what you had installed previously | 23:00 |
