| Kilos | hehe | 07:10 |
| Vince-0 | yar tell me about it, the daily grind is getting to me | 07:11 |
| Kilos | the trick is to enjoy your work, then its much easier | 07:11 |
| Vince-0 | ya! that's the idea but the joy is no more. Thinking about jumping ship and being a fisherman on a remote island somwheres | 07:12 |
| Kilos | ha ha ha | 07:12 |
| Kilos | you will be lost without an internet connection | 07:12 |
| Vince-0 | probably, can get almost anywhere these days | 07:13 |
| nuvolari | o/ mornings | 07:35 |
| nuvolari | lo oom Kilos | 07:36 |
| nuvolari | ek is okei ja dankie :P was net 'n woeste paar dae | 07:36 |
| Kilos | ah | 07:36 |
| Kilos | bbl | 07:55 |
| kbmonkey | hello | 08:34 |
| inetpro | good morning kbmonkey and others | 08:35 |
| inetpro | Kerbero: your updates working now? | 08:35 |
| Kerbero | nope | 08:35 |
| inetpro | serious!? | 08:36 |
| Kerbero | indeed | 08:36 |
| inetpro | I can connect from the office | 08:36 |
| Kerbero | i'm forcing my system to use the tenet mirrors | 08:37 |
| Kerbero | by using ubuntu.mirror.ac.za as the address | 08:37 |
| Kerbero | i think if you use za.archive.ubuntu.com it might work now | 08:37 |
| inetpro | I use za.archive.ubuntu.com and it works | 08:37 |
| Kerbero | as they might have change the cname to point to another mirror | 08:37 |
| inetpro | ah | 08:38 |
| Kerbero | https://rt.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=18911 | 08:38 |
| inetpro | Kerbero: yes I noticed the message from pjdelport | 08:38 |
| inetpro | but as you mentioned one needs a login to see that | 08:39 |
| Kerbero | that message was just a request to change the cname | 08:39 |
| Kerbero | to another mirror | 08:39 |
| Kerbero | so i guess that was done | 08:39 |
| inetpro | ok | 08:39 |
| inetpro | you have a login for that? | 08:40 |
| Kerbero | launchpad logi worked | 08:40 |
| Kerbero | just use that ubuntu sso | 08:40 |
| inetpro | ahh | 08:43 |
| inetpro | Kerbero: great, that should hopefully nudge them to fix things | 08:49 |
| inetpro | BTW, I have not had any feedback from the NOC at Tenet | 08:54 |
| Kerbero | ok sent a mail to rennews | 09:47 |
| Kerbero | hopefully a reply there | 09:47 |
| Kerbero | Hi JP | 10:30 |
| Kerbero | We are investigating the problem. | 10:30 |
| Kerbero | Regards | 10:30 |

| Kerbero | ok | 10:53 |
| nuvolari | or at least paste the useful lines :P | 10:54 |
| Kerbero | yeah | 10:54 |
| Kerbero | i was just happy that we actually got a reply | 10:54 |
| drubin | Kerbero: Doesn't mean they will fix it | 11:43 |
| Kerbero | true | 11:48 |
| inetpro | Kerbero: I got feedback from TENET, "There was a general issue with the mirror server. This has been resolved..." http://pastebin.com/s7zR4vN9 | 14:46 |
| Kerbero | awesome | 14:47 |
| inetpro | can somebody check and verify whether za.archive.ubuntu.com is pointing back to TENET | 14:50 |
| inetpro | as far as I can see it's still pointing to the same as archive.ubuntu.com | 14:52 |
| Kilos | see you tonight | 14:57 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: just poked #ubuntu-mirrors about that | 14:57 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: thanks | 14:57 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: done | 15:13 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: ahh, great | 15:14 |
| inetpro | now pointing to 155.232.191.229 | 15:14 |
| inetpro | that was quick | 15:14 |
| bmg505 | telcrap is evil | 15:25 |
| bmg505 | was adsl-less from 16th to no fault of nature or myself, all a tellcrap techy the fooked up | 15:25 |
| bmg505 | only in za land | 15:25 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: can I download a .iso with all the latest updates? | 15:42 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: only for LTSs | 15:43 |
| inetpro | hmm... | 15:43 |
| * inetpro wants to download a fresh ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso | 15:43 | |
| inetpro | or rather I have one right here at the office and have just zsynced it | 15:44 |
| inetpro | but there are a lot of updates | 15:44 |
| * inetpro needs to go slow with bandwidth at home | 15:45 | |
| inetpro | hmmm... | 15:47 |
| inetpro | perhaps I should just install it here on a VM and get all the updates like that | 15:47 |
| Kerbero | can't you make a startup disk on a flash drive with a persistence file | 15:49 |
| Kerbero | and update it while live booting | 15:50 |
| Kerbero | or will those updates not be used when you install from it then | 15:50 |
| Kerbero | what we normally do is create a mirror of the repo on an external hdd with apt-mirror | 15:51 |
| Kerbero | but it is about 30GB iirc | 15:51 |
| inetpro | Kerbero: that's to much for me | 15:53 |
| Kerbero | yes that is a lot | 15:55 |
| Kerbero | but if one have a 100mbps LAN connection to a repo it's not :P | 15:55 |
| inetpro | what's this package called where you can take the .deb files offline? | 15:56 |
| inetpro | I think kilos was using it | 15:57 |
| Kerbero | i don't understand what you mean | 15:58 |
| inetpro | there is a package which you can install and use to sync all .deb files with a system that is not connected to the web | 15:59 |
| * inetpro forgot what is was called | 16:00 | |
| Kerbero | almost sounds like apt-mirror | 16:00 |
| Kerbero | or deb-mirror | 16:00 |
| superfly | inetpro: aptoncd | 16:01 |
| inetpro | ahh... thats the one, thanks superfly | 16:01 |
| tumbleweed | it's also built-into synaptic | 16:32 |
| tumbleweed | and there's apt-offline | 16:32 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: built-into synaptic? That is very interesting | 16:51 |
| inetpro | my updates are almost done | 16:51 |
| inetpro | will check it out | 16:52 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: does that mean I don't have to install aptoncd at all? | 16:57 |
| inetpro | hmm... does oneiric even have synaptic? | 17:03 |
| * superfly doesn't know | 17:08 | |
| inetpro | we'll see now | 17:11 |
| inetpro | busy rebooting the vm after updates | 17:11 |
| inetpro | hmm... if it there I don't know how to use it | 17:16 |
| * inetpro busy installing quassel-client before installing and running aptoncd | 17:16 | |
| inetpro | Ubuntu Software Centre is nice but I still prefer aptitude | 17:17 |
| superfly | inetpro: yeah, same thing here | 17:18 |
| inetpro | superfly: so far I'm very impressed with the latest version of ubuntu | 17:18 |
| inetpro | really looks very polished | 17:19 |
| inetpro | eish, but I just hate working in a VM | 17:20 |
| * inetpro should probably get a hardware and memory upgrade | 17:21 | |
| superfly | inetpro: 4 gigs of RAM work wonders when you're dealing with VMs :-) | 17:24 |
| drubin | superfly: 4gigs..... you can't run vm's with 4gigs | 17:41 |
| superfly | drubin: as long as I'm not running more than 4 at a time, it's fine. I use them for testing, so I don't run them all the time | 17:42 |
| drubin | superfly: I suppose I normally have netbeans and eclipse open and firefox so that means I am already using like 3gigs of ram :) | 17:43 |
| superfly | drubin: uh, yeah, that would consume a lot of RAM | 17:49 |
| drubin | superfly: also windows vm (blush) | 17:50 |
| drubin | you can't give those things less thne 2gigs of ram | 17:51 |
| superfly | drubin: well, I have an XP vm, though I hardly ever use it, and that doesn't use much RAM | 17:56 |
| Kilos | evening guys | 18:39 |

| Kilos | top one Langjan | 19:48 |
| Langjan | Kilos I keep on getting into another chat when I connect xchat on my new system, perhaps 'cause I took the wrong turn in the beginning, how do I fix that? | 19:48 |
| Kilos | when you open it do you first get a small window that tells you connect\ | 19:48 |
| Kilos | in that small window you set up what channel you want to go to | 19:49 |
| Langjan | Yes then it takes me to a room full of strangers... scary lol | 19:49 |
| Kilos | no man | 19:49 |
| Langjan | let me try again | 19:50 |
| Kilos | open again now but dont say connect | 19:50 |
| Kilos | oh my | 19:50 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: aptitude is unusable with multi-arch | 19:50 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: hopefully that'll be sorted out soon... | 19:50 |
| tumbleweed | but for now, apt-get... | 19:50 |
| Kilos | wait now Langjan | 19:55 |
| Kilos | stop right here | 19:55 |
| Kilos | you have to set it up in that small window first before you say connect | 19:58 |
| Kilos | scroll through networks till you get to freenode | 19:59 |
| Kilos | tick freenode | 19:59 |
| Kilos | then tick edit on the right | 19:59 |
| Langjan | It connects automatically, before I have a say! | 20:00 |
| Kilos | in favourite channels type in #ubuntu-za | 20:00 |
| inetpro | Looking good so far | 20:00 |
| Kilos | eish you ticked the connect automatically block hey | 20:00 |
| Kilos | lol | 20:02 |
| inetpro | Installer not crashed.. Ek busy restarting after install.... And oops | 20:02 |
| inetpro | Forgot to do nomodeset | 20:02 |
| Kilos | ha ha | 20:02 |
| Langjan | Kilos, it connects me before I can select anything, but to the wrong channel... | 20:03 |
| Kilos | how come it doesnt install without that nomodeset | 20:03 |
| Kilos | yes jan | 20:03 |
| Kilos | you need to get in that small window | 20:03 |
| Kilos | wait lets see how we find it | 20:04 |
| Kilos | while you are on this channel now what happens if you try open xchat again | 20:04 |
| Kilos | eish | 20:04 |
| inetpro | Doing the aptoncd thing before connecting online | 20:06 |
| inetpro | Hmm. Why can't do that? | 20:10 |
| Kilos | because its not same release | 20:11 |
| inetpro | Running apt-get update and then gonna install aptoncd | 20:12 |
| Kilos | oh not installed yet | 20:12 |
| Kilos | hehe | 20:12 |
| inetpro | Kilos: is the same release | 20:12 |
| inetpro | Yikes | 20:13 |
| Kilos | ah i thought you brought it from maverick | 20:13 |
| Kilos | sorry | 20:13 |
| Kilos | what Yikes | 20:13 |
| inetpro | To many sources enabled by default | 20:13 |
| Kilos | repos? | 20:14 |
| inetpro | Kilos no | 20:14 |
| Kilos | ah | 20:14 |
| inetpro | I installed a vm with Oneiric at the office this afternoon / evening | 20:15 |
| Kilos | ah | 20:16 |
| Kilos | Langjan, whats happening | 20:20 |
| Kilos | eish | 20:20 |
| Kilos | im sure he has ticked the skip network list on startup | 20:22 |
| Kilos | dunno how to get back to the connect window now | 20:22 |
| Kilos | unless maybe purging xchat will help | 20:22 |
| Langjan | Kilos, tell you what, it's a mess trying to connect to this thing now! | 20:25 |
| inetpro | Eish! | 20:26 |
| Kilos | Langjan, stop now | 20:26 |
| Kilos | lets try | 20:26 |
| Langjan | ok, what do I have to do? | 20:26 |
| Kilos | you mustnt tick the skip network list on startup | 20:26 |
| inetpro | They changed the easy to use aptoncd | 20:26 |
| Kilos | thats why it is going right online | 20:26 |
| Langjan | I don't even know where that is... | 20:27 |
| Kilos | when you tick xchat to open it | 20:27 |
| inetpro | How to add the cd repo? | 20:27 |
| Kilos | you get a small window that lets you choose your channels | 20:27 |
| Langjan | No, when I click to open, it opens up by itself into an unknown environment | 20:28 |
| Kilos | thats where you must choose freenode and type in #ubuntu-za in favourite channels | 20:28 |
| Langjan | theres no such option | 20:29 |
| Kilos | ok so i hope getting rid of xchat and installing it agin might help | 20:29 |
| Langjan | I did, same again | 20:29 |
| Kilos | on your maverick xchat as well?? | 20:30 |
| Langjan | What's Maverick - 10.10? No | 20:30 |
| Langjan | Havent been there | 20:30 |
| Kilos | ya 10.10 | 20:30 |
| Kilos | how did we used to chat | 20:31 |
| Langjan | No should be fine there | 20:31 |
| Kilos | you must have seen the small window on startup | 20:31 |
| Kilos | on 10.10 | 20:31 |
| Kilos | anyway lets try purging it | 20:32 |
| Langjan | Yes but it does not work here | 20:32 |
| Kilos | you must write down these commands | 20:32 |
| Kilos | sudo aptitude purge xchat | 20:32 |
| Kilos | that should clean everything out | 20:32 |
| Langjan | ok | 20:33 |
| Kilos | then sudo aptitude install xchat | 20:33 |
| Langjan | ok is that all? | 20:33 |
| Kilos | then when you try open it it should show the small window where you choose what channel you want and where you enter your nickname etc | 20:34 |
| Kilos | wait | 20:34 |
| Langjan | ok will try | 20:34 |
| Kilos | if you get that small window | 20:34 |
| Kilos | first you scroll to freenode | 20:34 |
| Kilos | tick freenode once | 20:34 |
| Langjan | ok | 20:34 |
| Kilos | then tick edit on the right | 20:34 |
| Kilos | type in #ubuntu-za in favourite channels | 20:35 |
| Kilos | delete any others there if there are any | 20:35 |
| Langjan | ok will do | 20:35 |
| Kilos | ok i wait for you | 20:36 |
| Langjan | ok | 20:36 |
| superfly | Langjan: there's a connections menu option somewhere which brings up that dialog again | 20:36 |
| Langjan | if i'm not back by 23:00, will try again tomorrow | 20:36 |
| Langjan | Thanks Superfly | 20:37 |
| Kilos | eish | 20:38 |
| Kilos | i found it | 20:38 |
| Kilos | i forgot how to do it | 20:39 |
| Kilos | now i found it | 20:39 |
| Kilos | ty for the reminder superfly | 20:40 |
| Kilos | its so so simple | 20:40 |
| * Kilos bows my head in shame | 20:40 | |
| Kilos | jan | 20:43 |
| Kilos | its easy | 20:43 |
| Kilos | Langjan, | 20:43 |
| Langjan | Hi Kilos, after doing all that, I still get into the wrong channel again then have to redo the settings | 20:44 |
| Kilos | tick xchat in top left corner | 20:44 |
| Kilos | then network list | 20:44 |
| Kilos | you set it up there | 20:44 |
| Kilos | sorry for giving you a run around | 20:44 |
| Kilos | this way we can remove everything you dont want | 20:45 |
| Langjan | Everythings right in there but it still takes me to the wrong channel | 20:45 |
| Kilos | does it not leave the little window open | 20:46 |
| Kilos | dont tick connect | 20:46 |
| Kilos | and untick skip network list | 20:47 |
| Kilos | thats what makes it go straight online | 20:47 |
| Langjan | It was not selected | 20:47 |
| Kilos | does that little window not stay open | 20:48 |
| Kilos | eish | 20:48 |
| Langjan | Problem persists | 20:49 |
| Kilos | if you tick xchat and network list does it not stay open | 20:50 |
| Langjan | Is the server irc.freenode.net/8001 correct? | 20:51 |
| Kilos | yes | 20:51 |
| Langjan | Yes it stays open | 20:51 |
| Kilos | right slow down | 20:51 |
| Kilos | you see freenode | 20:52 |
| Langjan | yes | 20:52 |
| Kilos | scroll networks | 20:52 |
| Kilos | then tick edit | 20:52 |
| Kilos | tick freenode once then tick edit | 20:52 |
| Kilos | what you see | 20:53 |
| Langjan | again? | 20:53 |
| Kilos | are you in the edit mode of freenode now | 20:53 |
| Langjan | Favourite channels #ubuntu-za | 20:54 |
| Kilos | is that all thats there | 20:54 |
| Langjan | Auto connect | 20:54 |
| Kilos | no | 20:54 |
| Kilos | lets make sure its right first | 20:54 |
| Langjan | what else should be there? | 20:54 |
| Kilos | only that block that says global info must be ticked | 20:56 |

| inetpro | I | 21:02 |
| inetpro | Wag | 21:02 |
| inetpro | Updates vat lank | 21:03 |
| Kilos | ai | 21:04 |
| Kilos | dis laat jy moet gaan slaap | 21:04 |
| inetpro | Amper daar | 21:06 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 21:06 |
| inetpro | Besig om nou quassel te instal | 21:06 |
| Kilos | ek wou did hier install maar dis baie megs | 21:08 |
| Kilos | al die kubuntu goed | 21:08 |
| Kilos | 58 meg | 21:09 |
| Kilos | grrr | 21:10 |
| inetpro | Kilos: hier's ek nou | 21:11 |
| Kilos | yay | 21:11 |
| Kilos | ok nou kan ons gaan slaap ne | 21:11 |
| inetpro | maar is gou besig om die NVidia drivers te installeer | 21:11 |
| Kilos | eish | 21:11 |
| Kilos | jy nie bang nie | 21:11 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: at least I got this green icon + lock at the top for foreign drivers | 21:12 |
| inetpro | big thing is that I need to start up with nomodeset until I've installed the drivers | 21:13 |
| tumbleweed | ah | 21:13 |
| inetpro | Kilos: hoekom moet ek bang wees? | 21:13 |
| Kilos | net nou crash jy weer | 21:13 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: that sounds like something you should talk to the ubuntu-x people about. Machines that require kernel options are *bad* for end-users | 21:14 |
| Kilos | doesnt it work wit nouveau | 21:14 |
| inetpro | Kilos: nope | 21:14 |
| inetpro | at least not by default | 21:14 |
| Kilos | how do you see to install then | 21:14 |
| Kilos | without your mods does it boot to black screen ? | 21:16 |
| inetpro | https://plus.google.com/photos/114254397525521567468/albums/5680136389043315249 | 21:16 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: that's what it looks like when I boot up with a live disk | 21:17 |
| inetpro | without setting nomodeset | 21:17 |
| Kilos | i cant go there man | 21:17 |
| Kilos | you must tell me here | 21:17 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: that's entirely non-optimal :P | 21:17 |
| tumbleweed | please file a bug against the linux package | 21:18 |
| inetpro | will do so as soon as I have some more time | 21:18 |
| Kilos | hehe ok guys, sleep tight | 21:18 |
| inetpro | and as soon as I know that I got everything working on a fresh install | 21:18 |
| Kilos | see ya tomorrow | 21:18 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: should install the post-release update of the NVIDIA driver ? | 21:20 |
| inetpro | or just the recommended (current version) | 21:21 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: what do you mean by post-release update? | 21:21 |
| inetpro | or both? | 21:21 |
| inetpro | got this screen for installing Proprietary drivers | 21:21 |
| inetpro | with both options | 21:22 |
| tumbleweed | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers doesn't mention any post-release updates for oneiric | 21:22 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: screenshot please? | 21:22 |
| inetpro | https://plus.google.com/photos/114254397525521567468/albums/5680160469738361073 | 21:24 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: ^^ | 21:26 |
| inetpro | ok I'm just leaving it as is now with just the recommended... | 21:27 |
| inetpro | gonna reboot quickly and see what gives | 21:27 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: right, that's a separate package | 21:30 |
| tumbleweed | I guess if you need it, you use it | 21:30 |
| inetpro | ok, all seems working perfectly now | 21:31 |
| tumbleweed | \o/ | 21:31 |
| inetpro | lemme quickly log a bug | 21:32 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: where do I start and what do I put in there? | 21:32 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 21:32 |
| tumbleweed | ubuntu-bug linux, and describe the problem (and be prepared to test on daily CDs every now and then) | 21:33 |
| inetpro | eish | 21:34 |
| tumbleweed | don't you like giving back? :) | 21:35 |
| inetpro | sure, don't worry I'll do it :-) | 21:35 |
| tumbleweed | there's an alpha coming out this week, it'd be awesome if you could test on it | 21:36 |
| tumbleweed | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | 21:36 |
| inetpro | hmm... I just need sleep urgently | 21:37 |
| inetpro | where do I log bugs for X? | 21:37 |
| tumbleweed | depends on where the bug is | 21:37 |
| tumbleweed | the intel driver is in its own package | 21:37 |
| tumbleweed | as is the proprietory nvidia driver | 21:38 |
| inetpro | eish... launcpad timing out for me | 21:38 |
| tumbleweed | nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 21:38 |
| tumbleweed | what operation is timing out? | 21:39 |
| inetpro | was doing a bug search | 21:39 |
| inetpro | my connection is very bad today | 21:39 |
| inetpro | hmm... | 21:46 |
| inetpro | Please describe the bug in a few words, for example, "weather applet crashes on logout": | 21:47 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: what you think I should write? | 21:47 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: Screen corrupted without nomodeset on *insert-model-here* | 21:48 |
| inetpro | Screen corrupted without nomodeset on nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GTS 360M] | 21:49 |
| tumbleweed | with a little more explanation in the body. State what works, what doesn't and which CDs you saw it on | 21:49 |
| tumbleweed | attach a screenshot | 21:50 |
| inetpro | do I attach a screenshot afterwards? | 21:55 |
| inetpro | ahh.. | 21:56 |
| inetpro | extra options | 21:56 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: ok that took way to long | 22:00 |
| inetpro | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/897436 | 22:00 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: you get better at it with practice :) | 22:00 |
| inetpro | thanks again for the help | 22:00 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: if nobody replies within a week or two, please remind me, and I'll poke people :) | 22:01 |
| inetpro | ok cool, thanks | 22:02 |
| inetpro | good night eveyone | 22:06 |
| tumbleweed | night | 22:06 |
