Kilosthe operators there think everyone is a fool and string you along and try blame your fone or modem first15:44
Kiloswhat deal?15:44
kbmonkeylet me find that article link...15:44
Kilosto complain about poor service15:44
nuvolarivodacom was all over me yesterday and today15:46
KilosMaaz, google vodacom CEO email address15:46
MaazKilos: "Vodacom's CEO Replies Directly To Angry Twitter Followers" http://www.businessinsider.com/pieter-uys-twitter-2011-7 :: "Pieter Uys appointed as Vodacom CEO" http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/pieter-uys-appointed-as-vodacom-ceo-2008-07-11 :: "Vodacom CEO email address" http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/366512-Vodacom-CEO-email-address :: "iPhone 4 here end September, tweets Vodacom CEO | memeburn" http://memeburn.com/15:46
nuvolaricalled me 3 times!15:46
kbmonkeyubuntu based netbook on contract via vodacom15:46
nuvolariI missed it twice15:46
Kilossomewhere there i hope15:46
kbmonkeyelinks http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Vodacom-Vodafone-Webbook/15:46
nuvolariand they even DM'ed me on twitter to ask for an additional contact number15:46
Kilosthere lots of stuff to hunt through15:46
kbmonkeynot a good deal IMHO15:47
Kilosi cant i already on 1.9m for the day15:47
kbmonkeyor at the least, they should make all ubuntu updates free off the local repos15:47
kbmonkeyill give you the quick version Kilos 15:47
Kilosyeah that could help15:47
Kilosjust his email address15:48
kbmonkey10" screen 512MB RAM 4GB storage for R1,50015:48
Kilosremember i have 512m lappy ram here15:49
Kilos512 is a bit min to run ubuntu nicely15:49
kbmonkeyif you pay R1899 you get a contact modem with 100MB per month data15:50
kbmonkeyso its really not that great a deal, plus they lock you in a contract. rabble rabble rabble!15:50
Kilos100m is nothing unless you only do emails and irc15:51
kbmonkeyfacebook users will use that in a day15:51
Kilosif we can get them to do a special for linux users i am sure they will get more customers on broadband15:52
Kiloswhen you fone them for help they cant even help you set up a fone as a modem unless you on winsucks15:52
Kilosand with a new install you looking at 2 to 300m updates alone15:53
kbmonkeyfree ubuntu updates, free freenode access, and free ubuntuforums. that would benice15:53
kbmonkeyjust like mweb does free local15:54
Kilosyeah thats can help lots15:54
superflynuvolari: the new house is like 3 times the size of our old one... do you remember our old one?15:55
kbmonkeynot only that, it would setup a solid support network for ubuntu users15:56
Kilosfreenode can use more than a meg a day just refreshing to  adams.freenode.net:8001   15:56
Kilossakhi, wb15:57

Wacemanhi guys, hope everyone is doing well. Got a video driver problem, wondering if someone can help? Installed 11.10 on an old pc (800 mhz, nvidia geforce 256) - When I install the Current nvidia driver, unity doesn't load... just the desktop and a menu bar... if I install an older version it says the driver is activated but not installed... problem is it's very slow without the driver16:41
kbmonkeyyes those old ide pins were fragile like that16:41
Kiloswhat sizedrive magespawn 16:41
magespawnender maybe it is a graphics problem16:41
magespawn60gb16:42

WacemanI think it's a Geforce 256... eish it's been awhile since I bought the thing ;)16:43
endermagespawn, without XBMC, running it straight on ubuntu it works fine though :(16:43
magespawni think there is a way to look it up Waceman16:43
magespawnender that is strange16:44

magespawnmaybe thats the problem ender16:46
magespawnsounds like fun.16:46
WolfeyesI am loving it at the moment.16:47
KilosWaceman, look in synaptic and type in nvidia in the top little search block16:47
enderyea, but its supposed to work, and i use the pc as a network series, music and movie server, so have to run ubuntu as well16:47
WolfeyesThe can always be improved but I am not complaining it is work that I love and I have time to learn further in the computer direction.16:47
WacemanKilos: I had to install Synaptic since it doesn't automatically come with 11.10... and I've installed all the nvidia drivers I can find on there?16:48
magespawnalways good to learn Wolfeyes16:48
WolfeyesIt is ...16:48
kbmonkeyWaceman you can run lspci in a term to show your hardware details, it should show the model in there16:48
Wacemanthanks16:48
KilosWaceman, if you can actually look on the card for the model it might help16:49
magespawnender the Mythbuntu runs XFCE as default. maybe try that.16:49
Kilosty kbmonkey 16:49
Kilosi only know the hard way16:49

nlsthznLots happening in 197017:53
tumbleweedyes, I see that, but the last topic change was to CD handouts, as part of a minutes review17:53
octoquadRegarding the 1970 events, me and superfly were unable to fix the problem as we need to dig in the code, but we/I don't have access to the server to do it17:53

kbmonkeyMaaz topic feedback on release CT release party18:18
MaazCurrent Topic: feedback on release CT release party18:18
afrodeitynd there I was thinking DMB was short for dumber18:18
kbmonkeycongrats tumbleweed! :)18:19
tumbleweedright, the CT release party was minute, probably my fault18:19
maiatodayok the release party was small and big at the same time18:19
maiatodaywe had a banner up in canal walk and all the algorithm circle people there but only 5 or 6 people for the actual release party18:19
afrodeityshwaa a banner, good one 18:20
kbmonkeyyes I saw that photo with the banner, well done! =D18:20
tumbleweedone of which, Charlie, was a complete newbie to our community, and so we heard many interesting things from him.18:20
maiatodayone good thing is there was a new guy (oops I forgot his name) and he wants us to focus on more beginner things18:20
tumbleweedmaiatoday: ^518:20
maiatodayyeah Charlie18:20
maiatodayhi tumbleweed 18:20
tumbleweedheh, hi18:20
maiatodayso we decided to make a bigger thing of the next release party since it is a LTS and also we want to focus on beginners18:21
maiatodayhopefully I'll have more time in april18:21
kbmonkeyI guess beginner things could be showing them at the hour what alternative apps there are18:21
maiatodayso I think everybody who comes to the release party should bring along a beginner18:21
maiatodayif they can18:21
superflyyes, I think it might be a good idea to try to make the release party a bit more like a computer fare?18:21
maiatodayand then we'll have same beginnerish talks too18:21
kbmonkeyyes!18:22
maiatodayI'll try to do a poll on the mailing list of topics and people to do the talks18:22
kbmonkeyMaaz idea bring a newbie friend to the next release party18:22
MaazIdea recorded: bring a newbie friend to the next release party18:22
maiatodayand I'll try to make an effort to make the beginnerish-ness visible with the posters etc18:22
maiatodaythat's it18:22
kbmonkeythanks for that topic maiatoday!18:23
kbmonkeyokay I think that's it. Does anybody want to add anything?18:23
JabberwockyA19I will show the newbies how to play games, if I am able to make it.18:23
JabberwockyA19The next LTS will have 5 years for desktop and server18:23
