inetproat least last time I checked... long ago though06:39
Kilosat least he hasnt faded completely like corrie06:40
inetproyeah, the man has become a twitteratti06:40
Kilosstrange how peeps minds work06:41
Kilosmust be because they dont seem to have a code of conduct06:41
Kilosanything goes06:41
inetprowell I don't blame highvoltage, he's a busy man06:42
Kilosnot him corrie06:42
inetproyou can't focus on to many things06:42
inetprobut even corrie seems to be busy06:43
Kiloshehe finding links to tweet06:43
inetprowell staying up to date is also important these days, at least he's sharing stuff with others06:45
* not_found has a Corrie on G+ ... wonder if it is the same person...06:45
Kiloscorrie20606:45
inetprocorrie206=Corrie Strydom06:46
not_founddunno... a Corrie Strydom (in my FOSS circle...)06:46
not_foundah there we go :)06:46
Kilosyes thats him06:46
inetpronot_found: he used to come here often as well06:46
not_foundI have several peeps in a FOSS and an ubuntu-za channel I don't know06:47
Kiloshe lived here like me06:47

Kilosbefore i forget we got no power tomorrow so miss me if you like06:48
inetprohaha06:48
inetpronot_found: so am I right in assuming that the reporting has been done?06:51
not_foundinetpro, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/TeamReports/12/July added this yesterday...06:52
inetpronot_found: great!06:53
inetprothanks for that06:53
not_foundstill have to look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/Meetings/ which seems behind06:53
not_foundinetpro, np... 06:53
magespawngood morning all06:53
not_foundmorning Maaz 06:54
not_found:/06:54
not_foundmorning magespawn 06:54
magespawnlol06:54
Kiloshiya magespawn 06:54
magespawnhey Kilos, not_found 06:55
Kiloshehe that tap complete can catch one 06:55
not_foundhmmm... to many tabs open in chrome... 1.5gb memory used (and difficult to find the page you are looking for)06:55
Kiloswhew06:56
inetpronot_found: we used to use that for our agendas06:59
inetproand guys have decided that the new way is better07:00
inetproso I'm not sure whether it's even necessary to update those07:00
not_foundinetpro, so this isn't in use anymore? What is the new way?07:00
inetpronot_found: the pages at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-za07:01
* inetpro hates the fact that it's not like a wiki but can live with it07:02
inetproapparently the officials are more inclined to look at those to see LoCo activity07:02
not_foundmakes sense in a way... wiki is good but not for everything07:03
not_foundwho updates the info on these pages?07:03
inetprohmm... wiki is very flexible and fully changed controlled07:03
Kilosgonna just try modem in another port, maybe its my usb bridge thats weakening my connection07:03
Kilos-oh my07:06
inetpronot_found: I think Team Admins have more privileges than others 07:06
inetprobut for something like meetings and events anyone with a launchpad account, I think07:06
* not_found goes to log in to see07:07
not_foundcorrect inetpro ... can add meetings and events... cool07:07
not_foundso 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 is07:08
inetpronot_found: yep07:08
not_foundKilos, 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 vodacom07:10
Kilos-hey magespawn all good07:11

superflynot_found: did you hear that Steam is coming ot Linux?08:06
not_found:p08:06
not_foundsuperfly, yup :)08:06
not_foundthen it only needs proper gfx drivers etc.08:06
not_founduntil then I reboot to Windows... bbl08:06
magespawnsuperfly i seem to have messed up my grub, how do i know which is the correct entry for my internal hard drive? 08:11
superflymagespawn: uh08:13
magespawnlol08:13
magespawni thinkl i did something wrong, it keeps looking for an external drive to boot from. I have done this before I think.08:14
superflymagespawn: can you explain the bootup process to me, so that I know what you're looking at?08:14
magespawnswitch 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 present08:15
superflyah08:16
superflybbiab - standup meeting08:16
magespawnno worries08:16
inetprostandup meeting?08:17
inetprois that what a team meeting is called these days?08:18
magespawnI think it is a meeting that happens quickly.08:18
magespawnso nobody needs to sit.08:18
inetprointeresting08:19
inetpromakes sense08:19
magespawnjust guessing08:19
Kilos-yip i do superfly never fear .08:37
Kilos-magespawn, boot-repair it from cd08:39
Kilos-or even command line. 08:39
magespawnI tried that Kilos, but it says the grub is fine.08:44
Kilos-oh my08:44
magespawnag 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
magespawnthe external drive08:46
Kilos-what is/was choppy thats missing now08:46
magespawnit is not connected to the laptop08:47
Kilos-did you do a boot-repair from choppy08:47
Kilos-so now it wants to boot from choppy08:47
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 out08:51
Kilos-it couldnt boot from the repaired one08:51
Kilos-the answer was to boot-repair again from another drive then reboot and go to the drive you want working and start boot repair08:52
Kilos-once going unplug the power from the working drive so it can only repair the one thats not working08:53
Kilos-magespawn, ^^08:53
magespawnchoppy is the external drive.08:54
magespawnthe one I did the recovery from.08:55
Kilos-do you have another internal thats bootable with boot-repair on08:56
magespawnI have rescue remix bootable dvd with it on.08:56
Kilos-i dunno that08:57
magespawnjust 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
magespawnI have to go out bbl09:16
Kilos-go well magespawn 09:18
Kilos-bbl gonna play with usb bridge09:24
Kilosdefinitely the usb bridge not_found 10:26
Squirmhello10:26
* Kilos wonders if they can be corrupted somehow10:26
Kiloshi Squirm 10:26
not_foundKilos, that sucks...10:28
Kilosstill works with sticks but cant see bluetooth dongles or my ext4 external10:28
Kiloshavent tried them on it before10:29
Kilosi wonder if ubuntu has any software running to see a bridge10:30
Kilosmaybe thats corrupt10:30
not_foundit should be a kernel driver10:41
* not_found has to go check his lpci manual for some commands to see usb thingies10:41
Kiloslol10:41
SquirmKilos: bridge?10:42
Kilosit works but just poorly with the modem otherwise seems ok10:42
Kilosyip from one to 4 usb ports Squirm 10:42
not_foundah, so it is an external device... not internal10:45
Kilosnope its a plugin bridge10:46
Kilosi think thats what they are called10:47
Kiloshi cvo 10:47
Kilosoh nick change10:47
not_foundKilos, I haven't found many that works well even in Windows... seems the power distribution gets thin from them and not all devices play nice10:51
Kilosah ty not_found 10:51
Kilosmine at least went well for over a year10:52
not_foundnot saying that is the case... try and plug as much as possible directly into the USB's of the machine when possible10:52
Kilosand was the cheapest one i could find at the time10:52
not_foundcheap from China... never the best bet in the long run10:53
Kiloslol at the time i didnt even know what a usb bridge was10:54
not_foundI stil dont' :D10:54
Kiloshaha its a usb cable 1/2 a metre long with a flat square block at one end with four usb ports in10:57
Kiloshandy for lappys with only 2 usb ports10:57
not_foundI got two of those...10:57
not_foundUSB bridge eh? Who would have thought Lp10:58
Kilosrofl10:59
Kilosjust now you can say like i do11:03
Kilosim not as look as dumb i be11:03
Kiloson the packet it says usb 4 port hub11:04
