[05:14] Morning. [07:02] morning all [08:02] hello [08:58] Guten Morgen [13:34] o/ [13:35] inetpro: wie geht es? [13:35] nuvolari: gut selber? [13:36] nuvolari: how's your connection today? [13:37] did anybody get the additional 20GB from Vodacom before the deal expired? [13:38] * inetpro decided to give it a pass [13:49] inetpro: ser gut, danke [13:49] I grabbed the last straw left [13:49] so I need to figure out what to download with the extra BW :P [13:50] all the things [13:51] I still have about 15GB to use until 31 Jan [13:51] R500 for another 28 days will be a waste for me [13:51] half an ubuntu repo? [13:52] Tonberry: why download the ubuntu repo if you won't use it? [13:53] * Tonberry shrugs [13:53] * inetpro has no time to play with such things [13:53] i use local repos [13:53] as in on the box over there [13:54] but i can keep them up to date at the university [13:54] I can get away with 3GB a month if I go easy [13:54] though 5GB is probably more like what I should go for these days [13:55] sad that it's so costly [13:57] I should probably try 8ta again at the end of the month [13:58] want to play a bit with a high gain antenna and see whether it will make a difference [14:15] inetpro: it will definitely make a difference [14:16] unless you are already on the roof [14:17] a friend has an antenna that I can play with [14:17] just need to figure how to find the optimal direction [14:19] there are ways to get the actual signal strength from a 3g modem in linux [14:20] comgt can do it [15:49] o0o0 [15:49] just found a 4GB HDD [15:50] can i use it as a flash disk LOL [17:25] zeref: my routing server has a 6GB HDD [17:33] :-) [17:33] just installed debian on an old box, using it as a server [17:46] zeref: how old is old? [17:46] what are its specs? [18:21] Seems uncle Kilos is struggling to get on :/ [18:21] Oh, and hi all :) [18:23] yay [18:23] lo superfly inetpro bakuman [18:23] hi Kilos! [18:24] ignore the mail to the lists [18:24] Lol... was just on telling all that you couldn't get on :p [18:25] dunno what was wrong here, couldnt get to #ubuntu-za [18:25] evening everyone else [18:25] hi nlsthzn [18:25] hows our ahab [18:25] ha ha ha [18:25] Fine thanks uncle Kilos and you? [18:26] i wonder what was wrong [18:26] ok ty. we got a big storm here so dunno how long power will be on [18:28] inetpro, lewe jy nog?? [18:28] Maaz, coffe on [18:28] Kilos: Huh? [18:28] grrr [18:28] Maaz, coffee on [18:28] * Maaz puts the kettle on [18:29] Maaz, hurry [18:29] Making decent coffee is an art Kilos and should never be rushed [18:29] sigh [18:29] Maaz, coffee please [18:29] Kilos: Now now, we don't want anyone getting caffeine overdoses [18:30] * Kilos was hoping for 2 cups before the power goes off [18:30] :) [18:30] hmm [18:30] * nlsthzn goes to play some games again... bye [18:31] o/ [18:31] lo oom Kilos [18:32] * nuvolari wonder of oom Kilos hom raaksien (die epos lyk fishy :P) [18:32] Coffee's ready for Kilos! [19:04] Silly monsters killing us :/ [19:22] superfly: reminder that if you want to get something into precise you need to move [19:22] we're already at debian import freeze [19:23] tumbleweed: yeah, I figured to just leave it... Sad, but I haven't really had the time :-( [19:23] ok [19:36] yay power came again back [19:36] Maaz, ty [19:36] You are welcome Kilos [19:36] * Kilos drinks cold coffee [19:46] night all. sleep tight [19:48] * nuviwebchat slowly catches up to 11.10 [19:49] gmf. :-/ [19:49] all of a sudden my grub freezes for no aparent reason, the only key combination doing anything is Ctrl+Alt+Del [19:50] but noooo... [19:50] having a tty would be awesome [19:50] not really the desired action [19:51] oh, and my phone doesn't want to work that well with unfamiliar recovery apps too [19:51] * nuviwebchat facepalms [19:51] but it's sorted now [19:51] anyone actually reading this wil think "what a weird bloke. talking to himself. Just like that..." [19:51] so what if I am? [19:52] I blame Microsoft. [19:53] argh. if this install completes I need to set up stuff again. In the first place my reason for not upgrading [19:53] but it's a new year. I need a new start, fresh environment [20:11] hi everyone, need some help on multiple nic's in my ubuntu box... anyone? [20:15] drasha: don't ask to ask, just ask ;-) [20:15] ta... [20:17] got my linux box connected to my adsl router on eth0 [20:17] now, bought a WUG kit, wug cable connected to my other nic in the ubuntu box on eth0 [20:17] soz, i mean, eth1 [20:18] ip on eth1: 172.25.3.138 [20:19] cannot ping wug router on ip: 172.25.3.137 [20:19] routing tables: 172.25.3.136 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth1 [20:19] any ideas why i can't ping my wug router? [20:23] hmmm [20:24] drasha: what's the IP range of your WUG router? [20:25] i've been given the ip's 172.25.3.138 - 172.25.3.142 to use... [20:26] router ip is 172.25.3.137 [20:38] *waiting for "installing system" progress label to go away..." [21:27] :> [21:28] 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] o/ g'evening Kerbero [21:31] \o [21:32] ek sit op die oomblik in duitsland, en moet nie dink suid-afrika s'n is stadig nie [21:32] my internet by die huis in SA is definitief vinniger en meer stabiel as wat ek nog erens in europa kon vind [21:32] behalwe op een plek in nederland waar ek 'n 20mbps kabel gehad het [21:45] hmmmmm [21:49] * nuvolari kwyl [21:52] i'm trying to share my internet connection with my server, i've tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [21:53] but no luck [21:54] i dont use gnome-network-manger, i use /etc/network/interfaces to setup my network [21:54] cant seem to find the settings.. [21:54] uhm [21:55] do you want to bridge or NAT? [21:55] /etc/network/interfaces is not enough on its own [21:55] you'll either need a bridge interface to bridge [21:55] or iptables to do masquerading [21:56] ahh i see that guide says that anyway [21:57] zeref: and you did enable that one line in sysctl.conf [21:58] that guide is a bit confusing [21:58] but seems correct [21:59] hmm [21:59] i dont know which parts to follow and which parts to ignore [21:59] well first of all: sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf [22:00] and enable the line that says something about ipv4 forwarding [22:00] it should be =1 [22:01] hmm [22:01] i normally use webmin to configure iptables [22:01] and don't do it by hand [22:01] because that makes everything just too complex for me [22:02] kk [22:02] webmin actually has a iptables rule "template" for connection sharing iirc [22:02] so for that guide, i should follow all the steps?? [22:02] yeah [22:02] zeref: install arno-iptables-firewall, and then all you need to do is make sure you set up your routing on your server properly [22:04] kk, will give it a go
