| sakhi | Morning. | 05:14 |
|---|---|---|
| superfly | morning all | 07:02 |
| kbmonkey | hello | 08:02 |
| inetpro | Guten Morgen | 08:58 |
| nuvolari | o/ | 13:34 |
| nuvolari | inetpro: wie geht es? | 13:35 |
| inetpro | nuvolari: gut selber? | 13:35 |
| inetpro | nuvolari: how's your connection today? | 13:36 |
| inetpro | did anybody get the additional 20GB from Vodacom before the deal expired? | 13:37 |
| * inetpro decided to give it a pass | 13:38 | |
| nuvolari | inetpro: ser gut, danke | 13:49 |
| nuvolari | I grabbed the last straw left | 13:49 |
| nuvolari | so I need to figure out what to download with the extra BW :P | 13:49 |
| Tonberry | all the things | 13:50 |
| inetpro | I still have about 15GB to use until 31 Jan | 13:51 |
| inetpro | R500 for another 28 days will be a waste for me | 13:51 |
| Tonberry | half an ubuntu repo? | 13:51 |
| inetpro | Tonberry: why download the ubuntu repo if you won't use it? | 13:52 |
| * Tonberry shrugs | 13:53 | |
| * inetpro has no time to play with such things | 13:53 | |
| Tonberry | i use local repos | 13:53 |
| Tonberry | as in on the box over there | 13:53 |
| Tonberry | but i can keep them up to date at the university | 13:54 |
| inetpro | I can get away with 3GB a month if I go easy | 13:54 |
| inetpro | though 5GB is probably more like what I should go for these days | 13:54 |
| inetpro | sad that it's so costly | 13:55 |
| inetpro | I should probably try 8ta again at the end of the month | 13:57 |
| inetpro | want to play a bit with a high gain antenna and see whether it will make a difference | 13:58 |
| nuvolari | inetpro: it will definitely make a difference | 14:15 |
| Tonberry | unless you are already on the roof | 14:16 |
| inetpro | a friend has an antenna that I can play with | 14:17 |
| inetpro | just need to figure how to find the optimal direction | 14:17 |
| Tonberry | there are ways to get the actual signal strength from a 3g modem in linux | 14:19 |
| Tonberry | comgt can do it | 14:20 |
| zeref | o0o0 | 15:49 |
| zeref | just found a 4GB HDD | 15:49 |
| zeref | can i use it as a flash disk LOL | 15:50 |
| superfly | zeref: my routing server has a 6GB HDD | 17:25 |
| zeref | :-) | 17:33 |
| zeref | just installed debian on an old box, using it as a server | 17:33 |
| superfly | zeref: how old is old? | 17:46 |
| superfly | what are its specs? | 17:46 |

| Maaz | Kilos: Huh? | 18:28 |
| Kilos | grrr | 18:28 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee on | 18:28 |
| * Maaz puts the kettle on | 18:28 | |
| Kilos | Maaz, hurry | 18:29 |
| Maaz | Making decent coffee is an art Kilos and should never be rushed | 18:29 |
| Kilos | sigh | 18:29 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee please | 18:29 |
| Maaz | Kilos: Now now, we don't want anyone getting caffeine overdoses | 18:29 |
| * Kilos was hoping for 2 cups before the power goes off | 18:30 | |
| nlsthzn | :) | 18:30 |
| Kilos | hmm | 18:30 |
| * nlsthzn goes to play some games again... bye | 18:30 | |
| nuvolari | o/ | 18:31 |
| nuvolari | lo oom Kilos | 18:31 |
| * nuvolari wonder of oom Kilos hom raaksien (die epos lyk fishy :P) | 18:32 | |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for Kilos! | 18:32 |
| nlsthzn | Silly monsters killing us :/ | 19:04 |
| tumbleweed | superfly: reminder that if you want to get something into precise you need to move | 19:22 |
| tumbleweed | we're already at debian import freeze | 19:22 |
| superfly | tumbleweed: yeah, I figured to just leave it... Sad, but I haven't really had the time :-( | 19:23 |
| tumbleweed | ok | 19:23 |
| Kilos | yay power came again back | 19:36 |
| Kilos | Maaz, ty | 19:36 |
| Maaz | You are welcome Kilos | 19:36 |
| * Kilos drinks cold coffee | 19:36 | |
| Kilos | night all. sleep tight | 19:46 |
| * nuviwebchat slowly catches up to 11.10 | 19:48 | |
| nuviwebchat | gmf. :-/ | 19:49 |
| nuviwebchat | all of a sudden my grub freezes for no aparent reason, the only key combination doing anything is Ctrl+Alt+Del | 19:49 |
| nuviwebchat | but noooo... | 19:50 |
| nuviwebchat | having a tty would be awesome | 19:50 |
| nuviwebchat | not really the desired action | 19:50 |
| nuviwebchat | oh, and my phone doesn't want to work that well with unfamiliar recovery apps too | 19:51 |
| * nuviwebchat facepalms | 19:51 | |
| nuviwebchat | but it's sorted now | 19:51 |
| nuviwebchat | anyone actually reading this wil think "what a weird bloke. talking to himself. Just like that..." | 19:51 |
| nuviwebchat | so what if I am? | 19:51 |
| nuviwebchat | I blame Microsoft. | 19:52 |
| nuviwebchat | argh. if this install completes I need to set up stuff again. In the first place my reason for not upgrading | 19:53 |
| nuviwebchat | but it's a new year. I need a new start, fresh environment | 19:53 |
| drasha | hi everyone, need some help on multiple nic's in my ubuntu box... anyone? | 20:11 |
| superfly | drasha: don't ask to ask, just ask ;-) | 20:15 |
| drasha | ta... | 20:15 |
| drasha | got my linux box connected to my adsl router on eth0 | 20:17 |
| drasha | now, bought a WUG kit, wug cable connected to my other nic in the ubuntu box on eth0 | 20:17 |
| drasha | soz, i mean, eth1 | 20:17 |
| drasha | ip on eth1: 172.25.3.138 | 20:18 |
| drasha | cannot ping wug router on ip: 172.25.3.137 | 20:19 |
| drasha | routing tables: 172.25.3.136 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth1 | 20:19 |
| drasha | any ideas why i can't ping my wug router? | 20:19 |
| superfly | hmmm | 20:23 |
| superfly | drasha: what's the IP range of your WUG router? | 20:24 |
| drasha | i've been given the ip's 172.25.3.138 - 172.25.3.142 to use... | 20:25 |
| drasha | router ip is 172.25.3.137 | 20:26 |
| nuviwebchat | *waiting for "installing system" progress label to go away..." | 20:38 |
| nuvolari | :> | 21:27 |
| nuvolari | so far so good, apart from not having both my screens active, it seems pretty nice | 21:28 |
| * nuvolari wish internet was as fast as thoughts | 21:28 | |
| nuvolari | o/ g'evening Kerbero | 21:28 |
| Kerbero | \o | 21:31 |
| Kerbero | ek sit op die oomblik in duitsland, en moet nie dink suid-afrika s'n is stadig nie | 21:32 |
| Kerbero | my internet by die huis in SA is definitief vinniger en meer stabiel as wat ek nog erens in europa kon vind | 21:32 |
| Kerbero | behalwe op een plek in nederland waar ek 'n 20mbps kabel gehad het | 21:32 |
| zeref | hmmmmm | 21:45 |
| * nuvolari kwyl | 21:49 | |
| zeref | i'm trying to share my internet connection with my server, i've tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 21:52 |
| zeref | but no luck | 21:53 |
| zeref | i dont use gnome-network-manger, i use /etc/network/interfaces to setup my network | 21:54 |
| zeref | cant seem to find the settings.. | 21:54 |
| Kerbero | uhm | 21:54 |
| Kerbero | do you want to bridge or NAT? | 21:55 |
| Kerbero | /etc/network/interfaces is not enough on its own | 21:55 |
| Kerbero | you'll either need a bridge interface to bridge | 21:55 |
| Kerbero | or iptables to do masquerading | 21:55 |
| Kerbero | ahh i see that guide says that anyway | 21:56 |
| Kerbero | zeref: and you did enable that one line in sysctl.conf | 21:57 |
| Kerbero | that guide is a bit confusing | 21:58 |
| Kerbero | but seems correct | 21:58 |
| zeref | hmm | 21:59 |
| zeref | i dont know which parts to follow and which parts to ignore | 21:59 |
| Kerbero | well first of all: sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf | 21:59 |
| Kerbero | and enable the line that says something about ipv4 forwarding | 22:00 |
| Kerbero | it should be =1 | 22:00 |
| Kerbero | hmm | 22:01 |
| Kerbero | i normally use webmin to configure iptables | 22:01 |
| Kerbero | and don't do it by hand | 22:01 |
| Kerbero | because that makes everything just too complex for me | 22:01 |
| zeref | kk | 22:02 |
| Kerbero | webmin actually has a iptables rule "template" for connection sharing iirc | 22:02 |
| zeref | so for that guide, i should follow all the steps?? | 22:02 |
| Kerbero | yeah | 22:02 |
| superfly | zeref: install arno-iptables-firewall, and then all you need to do is make sure you set up your routing on your server properly | 22:02 |
| zeref | kk, will give it a go | 22:04 |
