oom_koos | yeah customer service in sa is like the lowest priority ever. especially with the big corps | 06:19 |
oom_koos | i work in IT every day and thus get to deal alot with call centres and such. from personal experiance the best company regarding call centres and customer service is MWEB. those guys seem to be on top of it | 06:20 |
Kilos- | eskom decided we need a quick power cut | 06:24 |
=== Kilos- is now known as Kilos | ||

not_found | morning maiatoday | 06:32 |
* inetpro sent a message to our channel founder [highvoltage] to set a welcome message for our channel | 06:35 | |
Kilos | well done inetpro and morning to you | 06:35 |
Kilos | you wet the bed or what | 06:36 |
inetpro | something like the one you get when you join #kubuntu-devel | 06:36 |
inetpro | 18/07 04:47:55 [ChanServ] Welcome to #kubuntu-devel. This channel is logged. Use of this channel implies acceptance of terms at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/TermsOfService | 06:36 |
inetpro | heh Kilos | 06:36 |
Kilos | inetpro, where is the spark? | 06:38 |
inetpro | Kilos: he's still alive and kicking in other channels | 06:38 |
Kilos | sjoe whats with the apartheid | 06:38 |
inetpro | noticed him talking in the above mentioned channel the other day | 06:39 |
inetpro | but he's mostly active in #edubuntu | 06:39 |
inetpro | at least last time I checked... long ago though | 06:39 |
Kilos | at least he hasnt faded completely like corrie | 06:40 |
inetpro | yeah, the man has become a twitteratti | 06:40 |
Kilos | strange how peeps minds work | 06:41 |
Kilos | must be because they dont seem to have a code of conduct | 06:41 |
Kilos | anything goes | 06:41 |
inetpro | well I don't blame highvoltage, he's a busy man | 06:42 |
Kilos | not him corrie | 06:42 |
inetpro | you can't focus on to many things | 06:42 |
inetpro | but even corrie seems to be busy | 06:43 |
Kilos | hehe finding links to tweet | 06:43 |
inetpro | well staying up to date is also important these days, at least he's sharing stuff with others | 06:45 |
* not_found has a Corrie on G+ ... wonder if it is the same person... | 06:45 | |
Kilos | corrie206 | 06:45 |
inetpro | corrie206=Corrie Strydom | 06:46 |
not_found | dunno... a Corrie Strydom (in my FOSS circle...) | 06:46 |
not_found | ah there we go :) | 06:46 |
Kilos | yes thats him | 06:46 |
inetpro | not_found: he used to come here often as well | 06:46 |
not_found | I have several peeps in a FOSS and an ubuntu-za channel I don't know | 06:47 |
Kilos | he lived here like me | 06:47 |
not_found | I remeber the user name | 06:47 |
not_found | :) | 06:47 |
Kilos | got me my first repos from the pta varsity | 06:47 |
not_found | I have several peeps in a FOSS and an ubuntu-za circles I don't know | 06:47 |
Kilos | the pro did the ubuntu-za | 06:47 |
Kilos | before i forget we got no power tomorrow so miss me if you like | 06:48 |
inetpro | haha | 06:48 |
inetpro | not_found: so am I right in assuming that the reporting has been done? | 06:51 |
not_found | inetpro, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/TeamReports/12/July added this yesterday... | 06:52 |
inetpro | not_found: great! | 06:53 |
inetpro | thanks for that | 06:53 |
not_found | still have to look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/Meetings/ which seems behind | 06:53 |
not_found | inetpro, np... | 06:53 |
magespawn | good morning all | 06:53 |
not_found | morning Maaz | 06:54 |
not_found | :/ | 06:54 |
not_found | morning magespawn | 06:54 |
magespawn | lol | 06:54 |
Kilos | hiya magespawn | 06:54 |
magespawn | hey Kilos, not_found | 06:55 |
Kilos | hehe that tap complete can catch one | 06:55 |
not_found | hmmm... to many tabs open in chrome... 1.5gb memory used (and difficult to find the page you are looking for) | 06:55 |
Kilos | whew | 06:56 |
inetpro | not_found: we used to use that for our agendas | 06:59 |
inetpro | and guys have decided that the new way is better | 07:00 |
inetpro | so I'm not sure whether it's even necessary to update those | 07:00 |
not_found | inetpro, so this isn't in use anymore? What is the new way? | 07:00 |
inetpro | not_found: the pages at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-za | 07:01 |
* inetpro hates the fact that it's not like a wiki but can live with it | 07:02 | |
inetpro | apparently the officials are more inclined to look at those to see LoCo activity | 07:02 |
not_found | makes sense in a way... wiki is good but not for everything | 07:03 |
not_found | who updates the info on these pages? | 07:03 |
inetpro | hmm... wiki is very flexible and fully changed controlled | 07:03 |
Kilos | gonna just try modem in another port, maybe its my usb bridge thats weakening my connection | 07:03 |
Kilos- | oh my | 07:06 |
inetpro | not_found: I think Team Admins have more privileges than others | 07:06 |
inetpro | but for something like meetings and events anyone with a launchpad account, I think | 07:06 |
* not_found goes to log in to see | 07:07 | |
not_found | correct inetpro ... can add meetings and events... cool | 07:07 |
not_found | so this is the agenda side.. and the wiki is the minutes side :) | 07:07 |
Kilos- | eish inetpro ek baklei met voda vir weke al maar lyk my dis my brug wat foutief is | 07:08 |
inetpro | not_found: yep | 07:08 |
not_found | Kilos, only way to make sure is to use on another machine for some time (in the same area) | 07:08 |
Kilos- | i moved modem to front usb port on pc twice this morning and bot times strong signal | 07:09 |
Kilos- | poor vodacom | 07:10 |
Kilos- | hey magespawn all good | 07:11 |
Kilos- | ? | 07:12 |

inetpro | I know it's confusing | 07:27 |
not_found | :) makes me get bad scores on duolingo... but I will keep at it until I have mastered it :) | 07:28 |
inetpro | in fact I'd like to see those rules | 07:28 |

not_found | Die Frau trinkt das Wasser :D | 07:35 |
not_found | \o/ | 07:35 |
not_found | Ich lerne (I think) | 07:35 |
inetpro | not_found: we had to learn that stuff like a parrot at school | 07:36 |
* not_found needs to allocate more time to this daily for it to really have any effect :/ | 07:36 | |
not_found | inetpro, ouch | 07:36 |
inetpro | and stuff like Accusative, Dative, Genitive and then Accusative or Dative | 07:37 |
* not_found doesn't like the sound of that | 07:37 | |
inetpro | not_found: what do you use as your guide? | 07:38 |
* inetpro just checked http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_grammar | 07:38 | |
not_found | inetpro, I see now that those things you are speaking of are in the notes I have been ignoring :p - www.duolingo.com | 07:39 |
inetpro | not_found: nice! Thanks for that. | 07:41 |
* inetpro will have to look at this in the evening | 07:42 | |
not_found | oh cool... hope it helps... I think the idea is brilliant (time will tell if it works) | 07:42 |
Kilos- | inetpro, what you know about @abigdeal on twitter | 07:47 |
Kilos- | latest follower we got | 07:48 |
not_found | sounds like one of those spammy types | 07:50 |
Kilos- | well i dont follow so dont get her tweets | 07:51 |
Kilos- | the mail said her husband is a linux fanatic | 07:51 |
Kilos- | hehe | 07:52 |
Kilos- | husband¤ infosec noob¤ linux fanatic ¤thinker¤ blogger¤ i am that guy that pokes at everything to see what happens¤ love my Ford Focus | 07:52 |

* not_found goes to play some games :D | 08:05 | |
superfly | Kilos-: just ignore them all | 08:06 |
not_found | good to be off | 08:06 |
not_found | exit | 08:06 |
not_found | ... | 08:06 |
superfly | not_found: did you hear that Steam is coming ot Linux? | 08:06 |
not_found | :p | 08:06 |
not_found | superfly, yup :) | 08:06 |
not_found | then it only needs proper gfx drivers etc. | 08:06 |
not_found | until then I reboot to Windows... bbl | 08:06 |
magespawn | superfly i seem to have messed up my grub, how do i know which is the correct entry for my internal hard drive? | 08:11 |
superfly | magespawn: uh | 08:13 |
magespawn | lol | 08:13 |
magespawn | i thinkl i did something wrong, it keeps looking for an external drive to boot from. I have done this before I think. | 08:14 |
superfly | magespawn: can you explain the bootup process to me, so that I know what you're looking at? | 08:14 |
magespawn | switch on, come to os choice ubuntu or recovery, choose ubuntu, get loading screen, with a message at the bottom /media/choppy is not ready or not present | 08:15 |
superfly | ah | 08:16 |
superfly | bbiab - standup meeting | 08:16 |
magespawn | no worries | 08:16 |
inetpro | standup meeting? | 08:17 |
inetpro | is that what a team meeting is called these days? | 08:18 |
magespawn | I think it is a meeting that happens quickly. | 08:18 |
magespawn | so nobody needs to sit. | 08:18 |
inetpro | interesting | 08:19 |
inetpro | makes sense | 08:19 |
magespawn | just guessing | 08:19 |
Kilos- | yip i do superfly never fear . | 08:37 |
Kilos- | magespawn, boot-repair it from cd | 08:39 |
Kilos- | or even command line. | 08:39 |
magespawn | I tried that Kilos, but it says the grub is fine. | 08:44 |
Kilos- | oh my | 08:44 |
magespawn | ag it is a pain but nothing serious, I can a fresh install if need be. Nothing serious is on the machine itself. | 08:46 |
Kilos- | what is /media/choppy? | 08:46 |
magespawn | the external drive | 08:46 |
Kilos- | what is/was choppy thats missing now | 08:46 |
magespawn | it is not connected to the laptop | 08:47 |
Kilos- | did you do a boot-repair from choppy | 08:47 |
Kilos- | so now it wants to boot from choppy | 08:47 |
Kilos- | first what is on choppy? | 08:49 |
Kilos- | i had a similar prob after doing a boot-repair from one drive then taking that drive out | 08:51 |
Kilos- | it couldnt boot from the repaired one | 08:51 |
Kilos- | the answer was to boot-repair again from another drive then reboot and go to the drive you want working and start boot repair | 08:52 |
Kilos- | once going unplug the power from the working drive so it can only repair the one thats not working | 08:53 |
Kilos- | magespawn, ^^ | 08:53 |
magespawn | choppy is the external drive. | 08:54 |
magespawn | the one I did the recovery from. | 08:55 |
Kilos- | do you have another internal thats bootable with boot-repair on | 08:56 |
magespawn | I have rescue remix bootable dvd with it on. | 08:56 |
Kilos- | i dunno that | 08:57 |
magespawn | just loads ubuntu from a disk instead of a hard drive, like using a live cd to try ubuntu, this remix has boot-repair installed, where the nomal cd does not. | 08:58 |
Kilos- | ah | 08:58 |
magespawn | I have to go out bbl | 09:16 |
Kilos- | go well magespawn | 09:18 |
Kilos- | bbl gonna play with usb bridge | 09:24 |
Kilos | definitely the usb bridge not_found | 10:26 |
Squirm | hello | 10:26 |
* Kilos wonders if they can be corrupted somehow | 10:26 | |
Kilos | hi Squirm | 10:26 |
not_found | Kilos, that sucks... | 10:28 |
Kilos | still works with sticks but cant see bluetooth dongles or my ext4 external | 10:28 |
Kilos | havent tried them on it before | 10:29 |
Kilos | i wonder if ubuntu has any software running to see a bridge | 10:30 |
Kilos | maybe thats corrupt | 10:30 |
not_found | it should be a kernel driver | 10:41 |
* not_found has to go check his lpci manual for some commands to see usb thingies | 10:41 | |
Kilos | lol | 10:41 |
Squirm | Kilos: bridge? | 10:42 |
Kilos | it works but just poorly with the modem otherwise seems ok | 10:42 |
Kilos | yip from one to 4 usb ports Squirm | 10:42 |
not_found | ah, so it is an external device... not internal | 10:45 |
Kilos | nope its a plugin bridge | 10:46 |
Kilos | i think thats what they are called | 10:47 |
Kilos | hi cvo | 10:47 |
Kilos | oh nick change | 10:47 |
not_found | Kilos, I haven't found many that works well even in Windows... seems the power distribution gets thin from them and not all devices play nice | 10:51 |
Kilos | ah ty not_found | 10:51 |
Kilos | mine at least went well for over a year | 10:52 |
not_found | not saying that is the case... try and plug as much as possible directly into the USB's of the machine when possible | 10:52 |
Kilos | and was the cheapest one i could find at the time | 10:52 |
not_found | cheap from China... never the best bet in the long run | 10:53 |
Kilos | lol at the time i didnt even know what a usb bridge was | 10:54 |
not_found | I stil dont' :D | 10:54 |
Kilos | haha its a usb cable 1/2 a metre long with a flat square block at one end with four usb ports in | 10:57 |
Kilos | handy for lappys with only 2 usb ports | 10:57 |
not_found | I got two of those... | 10:57 |
not_found | USB bridge eh? Who would have thought Lp | 10:58 |
Kilos | rofl | 10:59 |
Kilos | just now you can say like i do | 11:03 |
Kilos | im not as look as dumb i be | 11:03 |
Kilos | on the packet it says usb 4 port hub | 11:04 |
Kilos | maybe it isnt a bridge after all | 11:04 |
not_found | hub sounds more right :) | 11:07 |

magespawn | No did not even have time to try again after I spoke to you guys. | 18:04 |
=== Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za | ||
magespawn | superfly seemed to known what that message meant. | 18:06 |
* superfly has burning ears | 18:07 | |
Kilos | hehe | 18:07 |
magespawn | I think the grub is just trying to boot the wrong drive. | 18:07 |
magespawn | Lol | 18:07 |
Kilos | magespawn, did you format that drive | 18:07 |
Kilos | thats the 1TB hey | 18:07 |
magespawn | Yes got everything that we could off then formatted it. | 18:08 |
Kilos | good im sure there was a virus on it | 18:08 |
inetpro | charl: heh, I only realised now that you came into the meeting only to sign the attendance register and then left | 18:08 |
Kilos | member next one, once win can see the thing run virus malware scans | 18:09 |
inetpro | good evening everybody | 18:09 |
Kilos | lo inetpro | 18:09 |
magespawn | I think so, there was a folder called Recycler, I have come across that one before. | 18:09 |
magespawn | Hi inetpro | 18:09 |
Kilos | thats their dusbin | 18:09 |
Kilos | trashcan | 18:09 |
Kilos | sometimes got funny stuff in there | 18:10 |
Kilos | and some virii seem to jump out the trashcan and go hide as a file somewhere else | 18:10 |
Kilos | long number files | 18:10 |
magespawn | No the windows one is called recycle or recycle bin not recycler | 18:10 |
Kilos | ah | 18:11 |
magespawn | You would usually find an .ini file in the same drive which points to the odd files or folders.# | 18:13 |
superfly | magespawn: are you able to boot at all? | 18:13 |
=== Kanchi is now known as Cantide | ||
charl | inetpro: lol, i didn 't leave though, i was in here for the whole meeting | 18:15 |
charl | i didn't say much though | 18:15 |
magespawn | It gets to the os choice menu where you choose between ubuntu and recovery, then it hangs at the loading screen with that message | 18:15 |
inetpro | charl: hmmm... you didn't say much? | 18:17 |
inetpro | did you say anything? | 18:17 |
inetpro | but charl, you are forgiven | 18:18 |
inetpro | I know that you were studying | 18:18 |
Kilos | hi kan | 18:19 |
Kilos | ah | 18:20 |
charl | :) | 18:21 |
charl | :P | 18:21 |
charl | i'll make up for it next meeting! | 18:21 |
inetpro | charl: np | 18:21 |
inetpro | charl: so what you proposing for next meeting? | 18:22 |
charl | projects! we need projects | 18:24 |
charl | i am quite interested to take up the work i was doing with the debian privacy remix i was working on | 18:24 |
charl | but then do it in ubuntu | 18:24 |
charl | privacy is important | 18:25 |
charl | don't know if that entirely falls into the "official" ubuntu loco picture though | 18:26 |
Kilos | privacy? | 18:27 |
Kilos | hey guys is there a way to tell ubuntu before it starts installing that the screen is small | 18:30 |
Kilos | i just get flashing lines across the screen | 18:30 |
charl | ouch | 18:30 |
Kilos | lol | 18:30 |
Cantide | i don't think pavaudio is the problem | 18:30 |
Cantide | it freezes even in the system sound settings :< | 18:30 |
Kilos | Cantide, cant you make it use alsa | 18:30 |
charl | Kilos: maybe try the alternate install? | 18:31 |
charl | with the text installer | 18:31 |
Cantide | umm, how? | 18:31 |
Cantide | it's been working on pulse audio though | 18:31 |
Kilos | dont have the alternate | 18:31 |
Cantide | for a long tmie | 18:31 |
Cantide | time * | 18:31 |
Cantide | so i don't know why it broke :< | 18:31 |
Kilos | yeah there are the odd probs with pulse | 18:31 |
Kilos | i have had mine crash as well | 18:31 |
magespawn | It gets to the os choice menu where you choose between ubuntu and recovery, then it hangs at the loading screen with that message | 18:31 |
magespawn | superfly^^ | 18:32 |
charl | i used to hack xorg.conf but now the configuration works differently | 18:32 |
Cantide | is there a way i can flush it? | 18:32 |
inetpro | charl: keep talking, someone might just listen | 18:32 |
Cantide | i tried rebooting, no luck | 18:32 |
charl | not sure how that would work on a live cd in any case | 18:32 |
Kilos | magespawn, can you not get to cli before it gets to that screen | 18:32 |
magespawn | Did not try. | 18:32 |
Kilos | then run boot-repair from there | 18:32 |
inetpro | charl: you know what would make me really happy? | 18:33 |
Kilos | you keep hitting some key but i forgot which one | 18:33 |
magespawn | I did boot from the rescue remix and did boot repair from there. | 18:33 |
charl | inetpro: please say! | 18:33 |
inetpro | if we could find something that could provide an income for our main man in this channel | 18:33 |
Kilos | i think you gotta do it from your drive magespawn not a cd | 18:34 |
charl | yeah | 18:34 |
Kilos | if using cd you gotta mount the drive first | 18:34 |
magespawn | Maybe i missed that, thought the drive was mounted. | 18:34 |
* magespawn goes to get the laptop | 18:35 | |
Kilos | lemme look if i can find it magespawn had a file saved somewhere that explains nicely how to boot from cd then mount then run commands | 18:35 |
Kilos | magespawn, what release is it | 18:38 |
magespawn | 10.04 | 18:39 |
Kilos | ah | 18:39 |
magespawn | Okay c is the button to get to grub command line | 18:40 |
Kilos | there you go | 18:41 |
Kilos | no | 18:41 |
Kilos | grub cli is another thing | 18:41 |
Kilos | i have those commands too somewhere | 18:41 |
Kilos | wb not_found | 18:41 |

Kilos | k | 18:43 |
Kilos | inetpro, what keys you use when booting to get to a terminal interface | 18:45 |
Kilos | not alt f1 or something | 18:45 |
Kilos | or lotsa spaces | 18:46 |
Kilos | before gui loads | 18:46 |
inetpro | Kilos: hmm... | 18:47 |
inetpro | depends | 18:47 |
inetpro | systems differ | 18:47 |
Kilos | on what | 18:47 |
Kilos | 10.04 | 18:47 |
inetpro | oh hang on | 18:47 |
inetpro | ctrl+alt+f1 | 18:47 |
inetpro | I thought you want BIOS keys | 18:47 |
Kilos | i have saved files all over the place and sukkel to find the right one every time | 18:48 |
Kilos | no | 18:48 |
Kilos | past bios then boot into cli | 18:48 |
Kilos | not the ubuntu grub menu | 18:48 |
Kilos | before the grub menu | 18:49 |
magespawn | Back | 18:49 |
Kilos | we still hunting magespawn | 18:49 |
magespawn | No worries, | 18:50 |
magespawn | Trying the rescume remix again | 18:51 |
Kilos | methinks your grubconf is corrupted | 18:51 |
Kilos | magespawn, | 18:52 |
magespawn | Yes Kilos | 18:53 |
Kilos | try holding down the shift key before grub menu comes up | 18:53 |
Kilos | is it your lappy thats sick | 18:53 |
magespawn | Busy booting from the cd at the moment, yes | 18:54 |
inetpro | Kilos: wow!, before the grub menu? | 18:54 |
Kilos | yeah inetpro cant remember if it works | 18:54 |
Kilos | this was all back in lucid days i think | 18:55 |
Kilos | hold down the SHIFT key as the computer attempts to boot to display the GRUB 2 menu. | 18:55 |
magespawn | Will try that next. | 18:56 |
Kilos | whew the grub prompt was too much for me to follow i memberthat | 18:58 |
Cantide | omg, still can't get this to work :D | 19:00 |
Cantide | and i bet it is something so simple... | 19:00 |
Kilos | hope thats oh my goodness | 19:00 |
* magespawn twiddles his thumbs waiting for boot-repair to run | 19:13 | |
Kilos | lol | 19:13 |
Kilos | i got piles of stuff to sort through to find the right one anyway | 19:14 |
Kilos | i think you still gave it to me | 19:14 |
magespawn | I think we found it together last time I had a similar problem. | 19:15 |
Kilos | lol | 19:15 |
Kilos | was with 10.04 | 19:15 |
Kilos | maverick is much ,more stable | 19:15 |

Kilos | magespawn, | 19:21 |
Kilos | http://slexy.org/view/s21W6ICW9e | 19:21 |
Kilos | one of those methods, there are 3 or 4 i think | 19:22 |
Kilos | was using chroot i think | 19:22 |
magespawn | Ty Kilos will keep a copy of that too | 19:25 |
Kilos | yw but after that i found boot-repair and have solved all probs with it | 19:26 |
Kilos | if you find one of them that tells you to mount the drive first and gives the mount command then you gotta win | 19:27 |
Kilos | was a funny command had mount in it twice | 19:27 |
