[05:32] <magespawn> morning all
[05:36] <superfly> hiya magespawn
[05:36] <magespawn> how is the morning superfly?
[05:41] <magespawn> hmmm very busy. I am going to assume.
[05:41] <magespawn> lol
[05:48] <magespawn> maiatoday howdy. just sent you a mail about the team reporting.
[05:50] <maiatoday> aah thanks magespawn
[05:50] <maiatoday> this will really help
[05:50] <maiatoday> it is super easy
[05:50] <maiatoday> when things happen you just add it on the wiki
[05:50] <superfly> magespawn: yes, busy :-)
[05:50] <superfly> morning maiatoday
[05:50] <maiatoday> just before the deadlinghi superfly
[05:50] <maiatoday> oops
[05:50] <maiatoday> two sentences colide
[05:50] <superfly> hehe
[05:50] <maiatoday> as I was saying
[05:51] <superfly> maiatoday: is that the reporting?
[05:51] <magespawn> any specific way to do it? never added things to a wiki before
[05:51] <maiatoday> just before the deadline which I thought was the first sunday of the month send a reminder
[05:51] <maiatoday> do you have a launchpad login magespawn?
[05:51] <magespawn> i did but i think it has expired
[05:52] <magespawn> i will find out and renew it if i have to
[05:52] <maiatoday> no problem
[05:52] <maiatoday> you'll need an active launchpad account to edit the wiki page
[05:52] <maiatoday> we have old reports which you can just copy
[05:52] <Kilos> morning maiatoday magespawn superfly and others
[05:52] <maiatoday> hi Kilos
[05:53] <maiatoday> do you want to look at it now magespawn? or otherwise once you have a launchpad account mail me or ping me if I am here
[05:53] <magespawn> brb
[05:56] <maiatoday> when you get there magespawn the howto is here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/TeamReporting/HowTo
[05:56] <maiatoday> and our team page is here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/TeamReports
[05:56] <magespawn> okay will have a look.
[05:56] <maiatoday> there are examples on our page
[05:57] <maiatoday> I am so happy someone wants to do this :D
[05:57] <Kilos> Maaz, magespawn ++
[05:57] <superfly> hiya Kilos!
[05:58] <magespawn> well i like to help where i can
[05:58] <magespawn> hiya Kilos
[05:58] <superfly> maiatoday: was the last one in april?
[06:03] <Kilos> hi Tonberry 
[06:04] <magespawn> maiatoday, what happens if i open a new account? all the old details get lost i suppose?
[06:13] <superfly> magespawn: do you remember your old username?
[06:18] <magespawn> i used an email address and am now just waiting for the password reset to come 
[06:26] <Kilos> hi sakhi 
[06:34] <maiatoday> yeah superfly it  looks like the last one was in april
[06:34] <superfly> wow, looks like we need to remember all the things that happened since then
[06:40] <maiatoday> no there was one in June too
[06:40] <maiatoday> no worries if we don't remember everything
[06:40] <superfly> oh right, they're in the wrong order
[06:40] <maiatoday> just solong as we try to do one once a month if we can
[06:41] <maiatoday> also the ubuntu-za meeting minutes usually have everything that happened in them
[06:41] <maiatoday> we can look at the minutes
[06:41] <magespawn> should they be included  in the team report?
[06:41] <maiatoday> the meetings used to be on the wiki but the minutes are in loco.ubuntu.com now
[06:42] <maiatoday> yeah add them to the team reports even if that is all that happens in the month that is ok
[06:42] <maiatoday> so magespawn, don't try to catch up, if you can find some events you can add it to the next monthly report but if not that's ok
[06:42] <maiatoday> the monthly report appears in the ubuntu newsletter if it is posted on time
[06:43] <maiatoday> so don't worry too much about the history if that is difficult to do
[06:45] <magespawn> will see what i can do sometimes i have lots of time other not depends on work
[06:46] <sakhi> morning Kilos #ubuntu-za
[06:50] <magespawn> okay i am into launchpad but have to go on transfer now i will be back this afternoon.
[07:17] <Kilos> bbl
[07:18] <zeref> hmmmm
[07:19] <zeref> high guys
[07:19] <zeref> *hi
[07:20] <zeref> I'm trying to get a webserver going on an ec2
[07:21] <zeref> i've set the path to /home/public, but i keep getting a 403 error
[07:36] <zeref> anybody home?
[08:36] <zeref> sigh
[08:53] <kbmonkey> morning za
[08:57] <zeref> hi kbmonkey
[08:58] <zeref> have you worked on the amzon webservers?
[09:04] <zeref> Kerbero
[09:05] <kbmonkey> hi zeref 
[09:05] <kbmonkey> no I havent yet zeref 
[09:05] <kbmonkey> do they offer a free package to try out the service?
[09:06] <zeref> ya
[09:07] <superfly> zeref: do they not provide any documentation?
[09:07] <zeref> i've look through it, but no luck
[09:07] <zeref> superfly, have you worked with httpd?
[09:08] <superfly> zeref: as web developer, I would think so
[09:09] <zeref> to get a basic web server up a running i changed the http.conf file document directory and directory root lines
[09:10] <superfly> don't change httpd.conf
[09:10] <zeref> o0o0
[09:10] <zeref> may i ask why?
[09:10] <superfly> you change the "default" file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/
[09:10] <superfly> or, you add additional vhost files
[09:11] <superfly> zeref: because httpd.conf affects the entire server
[09:11] <superfly> don't touch it unless you are 500% certain you know what you're doing
[09:11] <zeref> i'm using httpd not apache
[09:11] <superfly> zeref: do not touch either
[09:12] <superfly> like I said, you tweak your vhost files
[09:13] <zeref> and where are those files? /etc/httpd/...
[09:13] <superfly> I already told you
 you change the "default" file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/
 or, you add additional vhost files
[09:14] <zeref> in the server i'm using there is no /etc/apache2/site.......
[09:14] <zeref> so where do i add vhost files?
[09:15] <superfly> zeref: have you ever set up a web server before?
[09:15] <zeref> ya
[09:15] <zeref> i've got one on my comp
[09:16] <superfly> is it a XAMP style setup, or an Ubuntu server type setup?
[09:16] <zeref> but i'm trying to set one up on a vritual server, the amazon ones.
[09:18] <superfly> zeref: are you running Ubuntu Server on your EC2 instance?
[09:19] <zeref> fedora
[09:19] <superfly> zeref: so I presume you installed apache2?
[09:20] <zeref> yebo
[09:21] <superfly> right. Then I'd suggest googling for setup instructions for Fedora - asking in an Ubuntu channel will only get you Ubuntu help
[09:21] <zeref> kk
[09:24] <superfly> zeref: also, there's a large probability that there are some EC2-specifics, that folks who have never used EC2 (like most of us in here) would not know about
[09:24] <superfly> so, once again, Google is your friend
[11:16] <Vince-0> Ubuntu-za! is @ work, no time for chit chat
[11:17] <superfly> indeed
[11:19] <ender> hmm...
[11:25] <superfly> When was the Ubuntu release party again? the 15th?
[11:29] <ender> something like that yes
[11:45] <Kilos> avy all

[12:14] <Maaz> superfly: Sure, I'll tell magespawn on freenode
[12:37] <Vince-0> Maaz, where is the nearest bar?
[12:37] <Maaz> Vince-0: Erk, dunno

[13:04] <magespawn> ty Maaz
[13:12] <zeref> hurrr
[14:52] <magespawn> later all
[16:52] <magespawn> howdy
[16:58] <magespawn> howdy
[16:59] <magespawn> anyone know how to get the sound working in mythbuntu?
[17:36] <magespawn> howdy Waceman
[17:36] <Waceman> sup magespawn
[17:37] <Waceman> how's your linux knowledge? ;)
[17:37] <magespawn> pachy
[17:41] <magespawn> howdy back again
[17:43] <magespawn> whats up Waceman?
[17:44] <Waceman> long story ;)
[17:44] <Waceman> nVidia driveres
[17:45] <Waceman> Have a very old card Geforce 256 DDR
[17:45] <Waceman> non of the packages support the card
[17:45] <magespawn> better make this quick
[17:45] <Waceman> long story 
[17:45] <Waceman> nVidia driveres 19:44:48
[17:45] <Waceman> Have a very old card Geforce 256 DDR 19:45:06
[17:45] <Waceman> non of the packages support the card
[17:46] <Waceman> so gonna just install the ones off the nVidia website
[17:46] <magespawn> sometimes the open drivers do not work
[17:47] <Kilos> hi Waceman whats news
[17:47] <magespawn> i was looking for help with a sound problem
[17:47] <Waceman> hey Kilos
[17:47] <magespawn> hi Kilos
[17:47] <Kilos> hi magespawn 
[17:47] <Kilos> whats the sound prob
[17:47] <magespawn> Kilos there is none
[17:47] <Kilos> my sound just works
[17:48] <Kilos> is it not muted
[17:48] <Kilos> what pc magespawn 
[17:48] <magespawn> mine does on the laptop but not on the mythbunt
[17:48] <Waceman> So tumbleweed sorted me out in a sense... my card's too old for all the driver packs... and the drivers that nVidia provides don't support kernel 3.0... So I've not installed Ubuntu 10.04... MUCH quicker... but gonna give the old manual install a go ;)
[17:48] <Kilos> ian also had some sound probs with natty k i think
[17:49] <Kilos> if you got lotsa bandwidth download maverick
[17:49] <Kilos> 10.10
[17:50] <Kilos> quite a bit quicker and needs less work than 10.04
[17:50] <Kilos> oh i asked you where you were last night
[17:50] <Kilos> maybe someone close with a maverick cd
[17:51] <Kilos> eish magespawn  now i member i had no sound on xubuntu
[17:51] <magespawn> Kilos do you know the cli command to list system specs?
[17:51] <Kilos> cant remember if i got it going
[17:52] <Waceman> 10.04 is LTS
[17:52] <Kilos> i dunno ls -la
[17:52] <magespawn> Kilos i have forgotten how to change the software and drivers
[17:52] <magespawn> i think so hold on let me test.
[17:52] <Kilos> no matter man maverick be kiff
[17:54] <magespawn> nope thats command list files and permissions
[17:54] <Kilos> hmm
[17:54] <Kilos> what does ls do
[17:55] <Kilos> no not that

[18:19] <Kilos> dunno whats with the mythtv
[18:22] <Kilos> Waceman, is that with lucid as well
[18:22] <Waceman> got it installed... now trying to update my xorg file
[18:22] <magespawn> going to give up for tonight will take the pc back to the shop tomorrow.
[18:22] <Waceman> think 10.04 uses one elsewhere to 11.10
[18:23] <Kilos> eish magespawn thats frustrating hey
[18:24] <magespawn> one of those things.
[18:24] <Kilos> i wonder where one could get myth help
[18:24] <Kilos> did you try the lists
[18:24] <Kilos> quite a few geeks there that never come here
[18:25] <Kilos> magespawn, is this pc for the shop?
[18:26] <magespawn> no for home is media centre
[18:26] <magespawn> no will do tomorrow no adsl at home
[18:26] <Kilos> what made you decide on mythubuntu if ubuntu works
[18:27] <magespawn> myth has a media server built allows streaming to ther front ends
[18:27] <magespawn> also like trying new things
[18:27] <Kilos> lol
[18:28] <Kilos> its lekker to experiment if you got more than one pc
[18:28] <Kilos> maybe you can get that media server in ubuntu as well
[18:29] <Kilos> inetpro, ping

[18:31] <inetpro> Kilos: still bad
[18:32] <Kilos> have you tweeted the ceo yet inetpro 
[18:32] <magespawn> howdy inetpro
[18:32] <inetpro> Kilos: nee
[18:32] <Kilos> grrr
[18:33] <Kilos> hehe
[18:33] <Kilos> ons moet hom roer
[18:33] <inetpro> Kilos: you also have problems?
[18:33] <Kilos> kry net sy epos addres
[18:33] <Kilos> been bad for few weeks now
[18:33] <Kilos> takes forever for evolution to get mail from gmail
[18:34] <inetpro> Kilos: what happens if you type 'mtr www.google.co.za'
[18:34] <inetpro> without the ''
[18:34] <Kilos> here inetpro ?
[18:34] <inetpro> Kilos: yep
[18:35] <Kilos> mtr www.google.co.za
[18:35] <Kilos> nothing
[18:36] <inetpro> Kilos: what you mean nothing?
[18:37] <Kilos> i typed it but no reply came
[18:37] <Kilos> didnt you see
[18:37] <Kilos> lol
[18:37] <Kilos> what happens when you type it here
[18:37] <inetpro> Kilos: do you have mtr installed?
[18:38] <Kilos> what is mtr inetpro 
[18:38] <inetpro> Kilos: mtr combines the functionality of the 'traceroute' and 'ping' programs in a single network diagnostic tool.
[18:38] <inetpro> Kilos: aptitude search mtr
[18:39] <Kilos> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[18:39] <Kilos>   mtr-tiny: Conflicts: mtr but 0.75-2build1 is to be installed.
[18:39] <Kilos>   mtr: Conflicts: mtr-tiny but 0.75-2build1 is installed.
[18:39] <Kilos> i did aptitude install mtr
[18:40] <Kilos> it wants to remove mtr-tiny
[18:40] <Kilos> but ubuntu recommends tiny
[18:40] <inetpro> Kilos: leave mtr-tiny installed
[18:40] <Kilos> maybe i must type in mtr-tiny
[18:41] <inetpro> no just mtr should do it
[18:41] <inetpro> mtr www.google.co.za
[18:41] <inetpro> Kilos: on the cli
[18:41] <Kilos> mtr www.google.co.za
[18:41] <Kilos> ah not here
[18:42] <Kilos> shows loss of 90%
[18:42] <inetpro> Kilos: same on mine
[18:42] <Kilos> 97% now
[18:43] <Kilos> is that good or bad
[18:43] <Kilos> not lekker losing anything
[18:44] <inetpro> Kilos: that is like I pass you a hundred balls and you only catch 10 of them 
[18:44] <Kilos> eish
[18:44] <Kilos> is that voda doing that
[18:45] <inetpro> Kilos: the loss happens most likely between your device and the tower
[18:45] <inetpro> due to bad signal
[18:45] <Kilos> nee man i can see the tower clearly
[18:45] <Kilos> like 500metres to 1 k from here
[18:46] <inetpro> I've had 0% packet loss before but can not tell when that was
[18:46] <Kilos> should be perfect signal
[18:46] <inetpro> when a loss happens it means the packet needs to be sent again
[18:46] <Kilos> its vodacom the swines
[18:46] <inetpro> that's why everything is extra slow
[18:47] <Kilos> now its 99%
[18:47] <Kilos> its not the towers its voda themselves
[18:47] <inetpro> Kilos: don't keep it running to much or they'll cut you off
[18:48] <Kilos> i have just closed it cause it is wasting data
[18:48] <inetpro> that test causes unnecessary traffic
[18:48] <Kilos> tweet daai ou man
[18:49] <Kilos> when you kill a snake you chop off the head
[18:49] <inetpro> Kilos: well I'm not sure whether it's worth it
[18:49] <Kilos> i will mail him
[18:49] <Kilos> just ask for his addresss
[18:50] <Kilos> you arent paying less for the bad service
[18:50] <inetpro> Kilos: I've done the reverse test from my server at the office and it's 0% up to the last hop
[18:51] <Kilos> thats adsl
[18:51] <inetpro> Kilos: or rather 0% all the way
[18:51] <inetpro> Kilos: but sadly you can not ping all the way
[18:51] <Kilos> thats what we are paying for
[18:52] <inetpro> so there is no way of really ping me own machine from outside
[18:52] <Kilos> i can ping you from here
[18:53] <Kilos> 1.8 secs
[18:53] <inetpro> Kilos: what you mean ping me?
[18:53] <Kilos> didnt you see
[18:55] <Kilos> oh is that mvr goodie a ping command
[18:55] <Kilos> mtr
[18:56] <inetpro> Kilos: man ping
[18:57] <Kilos> lol
[18:57] <Kilos>  Ping reply from inetpro: 1.61 second(s)
[18:57] <inetpro> ping uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from  a  host  or  gateway.
[18:57] <Kilos> must be from you
[19:02] <inetpro> Kilos: ahh, I think that would most likely be from me quassel server
[19:02] <Kilos> i dunno if i can get ping working here in main window
[19:03] <ender> O_O
[19:03] <ender> <_<
[19:03] <ender> >_>
[19:03] <inetpro> Kilos: just try a ping to www,google.co.za
[19:03] <Kilos> ok inetpro but 1.6 secs is lots faster than google
[19:03] <Kilos> i dunno how
[19:03] <inetpro> ping www.google.co.za
[19:03] <inetpro> Kilos: on the cli
[19:03] <Kilos> just type in ping and addy
[19:03] <Kilos> ah ty
[19:04]  * inetpro gets a reply in 555 ms
[19:05] <Kilos> ja
[19:05] <inetpro> while it's very strange that mtr reports lots of packet losses
[19:06] <Kilos> someone using mtn or cellc should try
[19:06] <Kilos> i am sure it vodacom
[19:06] <inetpro> ping also looses packets
[19:06] <Kilos> nm shows connection gone to 3 bars now
[19:07] <Kilos> here is my logic
[19:07] <Kilos> if you can get a 4 bar signal at times it should stay there because pc and tower are fixed
[19:07] <Kilos> is voda clipping data
[19:15] <inetpro> Kilos: I don't think it's quite as simple as that
[19:16] <inetpro> many factors interfere with wireless signal
[19:16] <Kilos> or something wrong with their equipment
[19:16] <inetpro> so it will vary all the time
[19:16] <Kilos> no
[19:16] <Kilos> wireless is radio right?
[19:17] <inetpro> it should be more stable than it is right now
[19:17] <Kilos> it was a month or 2 ago
[19:17] <Kilos> was very lekker
[19:18] <inetpro> Kilos: I think what is happening here by me is that I'm on the edge between multiple towers
[19:18] <Kilos> thats why i say we must complain
[19:18] <Kilos> what signal do you get on your fone inetpro 
[19:19] <Kilos> if it shows full there is no excuse for bad data connection
[19:19] <inetpro> not full
[19:19] <inetpro> it switches between edge and 3g all the time
[19:19] <Kilos> then its an internal problem with vodacom
[19:20] <inetpro> in fact it switches between E, 3G and H all the time
[19:21] <inetpro> currently on 3G at -99 dBm
[19:22] <Kilos> see thats not right
[19:23] <Kilos> i understand it the tower is far away and you get a 2 bar signal on your fone but not if you get a full signal on a cellphone
[19:24] <Kilos> then its like having a 2 inch hosepipe but feeding it from a 1/2 inch tap
[19:25] <inetpro> well I don't get full bars
[19:25] <Kilos> had lotsa years playing with radio
[19:25] <Kilos> ok so you have a weak signal to start
[19:25] <inetpro> yep
[19:25] <Kilos> but mine is full
[19:26] <inetpro> Kilos: but it varies
[19:26] <Kilos> is that with your cellphone
[19:26] <inetpro> Kilos: yep
[19:26] <Kilos> no you must complain man
[19:27] <Kilos> sometimes they just go to the tower and lift their antennae 2 metres and everyones signals get better
[19:27] <Kilos> also if you got buildings tween you and the tower it messes it up
[19:27] <inetpro> Kilos: everyone except a few who get worse
[19:27] <Kilos> no
[19:27] <inetpro> Kilos: and I gues trees as well
[19:27] <Kilos> if antennae lifted all will get better
[19:28] <Kilos> yeah
[19:28] <Kilos> but my tower is line of site from my window
[19:28] <Kilos> i see the red light at night
[19:28] <Kilos> and see the tower in daylight
[19:28] <Kilos> we must ask bmg
[19:28] <Kilos> he is a ham
[19:29] <Kilos> ha
[19:29] <Kilos> hi bmg505 
[19:30] <inetpro> ahh, H is HSDPA (7.2 Mbit/s)
[19:30] <inetpro> 3G is only UMTS (384 kbit/s)
[19:31] <Kilos> yeah but they dont have any towers capable of even 3m/s
[19:32]  * inetpro enjoys Network Signal Info on the droid
[19:32] <Kilos> or their main server is not capable
[19:32] <inetpro> shows a nice graph and all
[19:32] <Kilos> tats lekker
[19:32] <Kilos> wish we could get that in ubutnu
[19:33] <inetpro> EDGE is only 220 kBit/s
[19:34] <Kilos> but until everyone starts complaining the broadband providers are gonna keep screwing people
[19:34] <inetpro> and when it's on EDGE I get a perfect 14 bars signal
[19:34] <Kilos> i had an edge connection with mtn but only got 46kB/s
[19:35] <Kilos> the shape or whatever you call it
[19:35] <Kilos> hi nlsthzn 
[19:35] <Kilos> inetpro, can you see your tower if you go onna roof
[19:35] <inetpro> Kilos: well, I'm not conected via the phone and am not testing the real speed at the moment
[19:36] <nlsthzn> Kilos: Hey uncle Kilos , all
[19:36] <inetpro> am connected via a Huawei E960 router with a different sim
[19:37] <inetpro> Kilos: I don't think I can see my towers
[19:37] <Kilos> check with fone all over and you will see where you got line of sight you will get best signal
[19:37] <Kilos> even from the roof?
[19:37] <inetpro> Kilos: to many trees and houses
[19:37] <Kilos> eish
[19:38] <inetpro> Kilos: but I'm blind anyway
[19:38] <Kilos> night time is the best time to look they all got red lights on top for planes i think
[19:38] <Kilos> lol
[19:38] <inetpro> should get some kind of a pointing device to help find the direction
[19:39]  * inetpro wbb
[19:43] <Kilos> nlsthzn, ty your parcel of heat finally got here
[19:44] <nlsthzn> Kilos: Postal Services eh? :)
[19:44] <Kilos> hee hee
[19:44] <Kilos> wehad a 37°c yesterday
[19:44] <Kilos> and 19°tonight
[19:44] <Kilos> lekker
[19:45] <nlsthzn> Wow
[19:45] <inetpro> Kilos: nee, I can not see towers close by, only far far away on the mountain
[19:45] <inetpro> and even on the roof it was stuck on EDGE
[19:45] <Kilos> then thats why yours is weak inetpro  will be better in winter when leaves fall off trees
[19:46] <inetpro> but like -77 dBm
[19:46] <Kilos> its their equipment
[19:46] <inetpro> hmm
[19:46] <Kilos> when you ride around weekends see what you get all over
[19:46] <inetpro> that just tells me I should stick to Telkom
[19:47] <inetpro> Kilos: that's what I want to do
[19:47] <Kilos> should be full hsdpa wen near towers but the clip it im sure
[19:47] <Kilos> if you got landline then thats the answer
[19:48] <Kilos> they have installed their 8ta transmitters on voda and mtn towers
[19:48] <inetpro> Kilos: I have WCDMA FLLA
[19:48] <Kilos> whats that inetpro 
[19:49] <inetpro> but I stopped for a bit with it because my account was to high
[19:49] <inetpro> FLLA = Fixed Line Look Alike
[19:49] <Kilos> get that mweb thing man
[19:49] <inetpro> Kilos: it's exactly like the MWeb thing
[19:50] <Kilos> R219 a month uncapped
[19:50] <inetpro> but I hate Telkom because they make me wait forever and their service just sucks
[19:50] <Kilos> dunno where they get all these funny things
[19:51] <inetpro> Kilos: R219 a month uncapped? Where?
[19:51] <Kilos> mweb
[19:51] <inetpro> yikes, that must be new
[19:51] <Kilos> lotsa businesses use it
[19:51] <Kilos> no man
[19:52] <inetpro> Kilos: ahh mweb ADSL
[19:52] <Kilos> afrodeity spoke about it on fb near a year ago
[19:52] <inetpro> no lines here
[19:52] <Kilos> or 6 months at leaast
[19:52] <Kilos> eish
[19:53] <Kilos> so what is a fixed line look alike
[19:53] <inetpro> Kilos: sorry, it's like the MTN thing
[19:53] <Kilos> 8ta wont help you either cause they use existing cellphone towers
[19:54] <Kilos> peeps in cities have an advantage
[19:55] <Kilos> like the fly happy with his uncapped  i think
