superflymaiatoday_too: it would be awesome to see you there :-)07:22
Kiloslo morgs 07:22

maiatoday_too45.2%07:24
Tonberryouch07:24
maiatoday_tooI left my pc on at work so it won't release my nick07:24
maiatoday_tooso if anyone wants to tweet superfly's ubuntu hour or if someone is an admin on the ubuntu-za facebook page to make an event07:25
superflymaiatoday_too: I'll look into it07:25
maiatoday_tooalso we should probably add it to the front page of ubuntu-za.org as well07:25
nuvolario/ mornings07:26
maiatoday_toomy blog feeds there but it's nice to have the event on the front page too07:26
maiatoday_toohi kbmonkey07:26
maiatoday_toothanks for helping rooitier last night07:27
Kiloshiya kbmonkey you in demand hehe07:27
kbmonkey hello :)07:27
kbmonkeydid he get it working then maiatoday_too ?07:28
maiatoday_toonah not yet, it was late but he is excited07:28
kbmonkeyoh hi Kilos. yes its nice to feel useful lol :)07:28
maiatoday_toohe is sudo-ing on a terminal which is pretty good going for someone who has only had an ubuntu machine for 2 days07:28
maiatoday_tooI sent him some links07:28
maiatoday_tooI think the path to the cdrom in that example isn't right so it keeps saying unknown filename07:29
Kiloswow07:29
maiatoday_toowell there's nothing like a game to give some incentive07:29
kbmonkeyyou should tell him to use tab-completion to find the real path07:29
kbmonkeythat might help07:29
maiatoday_toohopefully sorting the os will be as interesing as playing the game07:29
maiatoday_tooyes at first I thought he had the path to the desktop wrong because he didn't know about case sensetive so I got him to tab complete that07:30
maiatoday_toobut I had already switched my computer off and thought it was better to let him stop and go to bed07:30
maiatoday_tooanyway, I am sure he'll be around later this afternoon or tonight07:31

superflymorgs: DoS?12:00
morgssuperfly: no actually it's a site for multiple countries, with country-specific content, and GeoIP isn't working because it's a mobi site, and the operator has addresses not in GeoIP.12:02
superflyah, OK12:02
morgsSo I have a list of IP addresses for users by country, and need to redirect them automagically.12:02

ghostknifeAlmost 10PM. Time to go home perhaps.19:21
Mezenirseems it has linux issues ?:/19:24
superflyMezenir: what I would do is look at the specs on the Lenovo site and see if you can figure out what hardware it uses... the big things that won't necessarily work are the wireless nic and the webcam19:42
Mezenirmmmm19:50
Mezenirdo you have arch installed ?19:50
superflyNo, Kubuntu19:51
Mezenirk19:51
Mezenirmmm19:54
Mezenirgood point19:54
Mezenircpu will most likely work19:54
Mezenirgraphics drivers are usually a problem19:54
Mezenirand i dont care for webcam19:54
Mezenirwireless is nice to have19:54
Mezenirbut not essential19:55
TonberryPester Kerbero for info on the e-350 and compatibility 19:55
Tonberryhe has one19:55
Mezenirthanks19:56
superflyMezenir: basically, Intel works OK, nVidia works awesome, and the rest either barely work, or don't work at all... though apparently ATI is getting there these days20:08
Mezenirmmm20:13
Mezeniri dont really play games on linux20:13
Mezenirbut for movies and series20:13
Mezeniri have a 4890 radeon20:13
Mezenirthat works awesome in kubuntu20:13
Mezenirits the integrated intel graphics im worried about20:14
Mezenirbut ill research20:14
Mezenirarch has a pretty good guide on their wireless setup20:14
Mezenirso ill look for something that matches20:14
