| kodez | i am better than yesterday, thanks for asking | 07:01 |
| Squirm | morning | 07:02 |
| kodez | is there anyone using lubuntu here? | 07:06 |
| Kilos | hi Squirm | 07:06 |
| Squirm | kodez: not I, but if it's a general Ubuntu issue you can ask anyway | 07:07 |
| Squirm | can't say I'm a big fan of LXDE | 07:07 |
| Kilos | hi Cantide | 07:07 |
| Cantide | hey Kilos :) | 07:07 |
| Cantide | how are you/ | 07:07 |
| Cantide | ? | 07:07 |
| Squirm | hello Cantide | 07:07 |
| Kilos | good ty and you? | 07:07 |
| Cantide | Squirm :) | 07:07 |
| Cantide | Kilos, i'm okay - mild hangover and got 4 hours sleep last night | 07:07 |
| Squirm | although, LXDE is light :P | 07:07 |
| Cantide | but it seems i will still be able to study | 07:07 |
| Kilos | eina | 07:07 |
| Kilos | self inflicted punishment | 07:08 |
| Cantide | :D | 07:08 |
| Squirm | thus why I don't feel sympathy :P | 07:08 |
| Cantide | yeah, i've been behaving for too long | 07:08 |
| Cantide | it was just a matter of time | 07:08 |
| Cantide | it's okay, it was worth it :) | 07:09 |
| Squirm | meh | 07:09 |
| Squirm | it never feels worth it the next day :/ | 07:09 |
| Kilos | lol | 07:09 |
| Cantide | nah, i'm not that hungover, really | 07:09 |
| Cantide | just a slight headache which might be more from lack of sleep | 07:10 |
| Squirm | Friday I was out, last night I just had a few beers watching the Sharks win | 07:10 |
| Cantide | nice :) | 07:10 |
| Squirm | and the Blue Bulls epic lose | 07:10 |
| Squirm | I lol'd | 07:10 |
| Cantide | Squirm, are you from Bloem or DBN? | 07:10 |
| Cantide | I also lol'd at that :p | 07:11 |
| Squirm | Cantide: more central kzn | 07:11 |
| Cantide | aha | 07:11 |
| Cantide | but you're a Sharks supporter i take it | 07:11 |
| Squirm | indeed | 07:11 |
| Cantide | cool :) | 07:11 |
| Cantide | that game was close | 07:11 |
| Squirm | where abouts are you from? | 07:11 |
| Cantide | we always seem to slack off in the first half | 07:12 |
| Cantide | Durban | 07:12 |
| Squirm | tbh, I can't believe we won. was an awesome comeback | 07:12 |
| Cantide | yeah | 07:12 |
| kodez | how to install pae? | 07:12 |
| Cantide | sucks to be a cheetahs fan | 07:12 |
| Kilos | sharks always struggle in the beginning of the cup because half the team is in the boks squad | 07:12 |
| Squirm | down 21-6 | 07:12 |
| Squirm | and we won | 07:12 |
| Cantide | Kilos, that's also true, but it's true for bulls and WP, too | 07:13 |
| Kilos | well see when they are all home again | 07:14 |
| Squirm | kodez: I don't know, sorry | 07:14 |
| Kilos | wasnt happy losing to the bulls last week | 07:14 |
| Cantide | i'm still pining after that loss to the chiefs | 07:14 |
| Cantide | in the super rugby | 07:14 |
| Cantide | think i've seen enough rugby for the year | 07:14 |
| Kilos | ya that was sad | 07:14 |
| Kilos | like the sharks were payed to lose | 07:14 |
| Cantide | hmm | 07:15 |
| Cantide | not so sure about that | 07:15 |
| Cantide | they ran us off our feet | 07:16 |
| kodez | if i configure that my laptop must switch off if not used in ten minutes, it does so even if i am playing a movie. how can i correct this? | 07:16 |
| * Cantide doesn't know about auto-shutdown ._. | 07:16 | |
| Kilos | kodez, is there a lubuntu irc channel | 07:18 |
| Kilos | yip #lubuntu | 07:18 |
| Kilos | they might know the ins and outs of lubuntu better | 07:19 |
| Kilos | hi psydroid | 07:19 |
| === Cantide is now known as CanStudy | ||
| Kilos | yay | 07:19 |
| CanStudy | i think i'd better get started... else i might procrastinate all day :p | 07:19 |
| Kilos | lol | 07:20 |
| psydroid | hi Kilos and CanStudy | 07:20 |
| CanStudy | hi ^^ | 07:20 |
| kodez | uncle Kilos, I am consistently failing to get an answer from them | 07:21 |
| Kilos | thats one of those channels where you have to be very patient | 07:22 |
| Kilos | no other channel seems as quick to offer help as here | 07:22 |
| kodez | I will keep on trying to research how to fix my laptop | 07:23 |
| CanStudy | http://askubuntu.com/questions/129366/shutdown-in-specific-way-if-no-one-uses-computer | 07:24 |
| CanStudy | the last solution on that page sounds good | 07:24 |
| CanStudy | but i'm no script-guru, so i wouldn't know how suitable it is :-S | 07:24 |
| CanStudy | trying can't hurt, surely... | 07:24 |
| Kilos | bbnn | 07:25 |
| Kilos | gonna sort sheep | 07:25 |
| kodez | CanStudy, thanks. i now have ideas how to fix my problem | 07:31 |
| Kilos | kodez, dont you have an option where you can do screensavers and power | 07:42 |
| Kilos | and make your settings default | 07:43 |
| kodez | i do. if i use those ones to switch off the system if not used for 10 minutes, it do so even if i am watching a movie | 07:45 |
| Kilos | lol | 07:52 |
| Kilos | go change them again | 07:52 |
| Kilos | set it for never switch off for starters | 07:53 |
| kodez | i did. i think i must try to use the script to check if i am still using it | 07:53 |
| kodez | how can i modify the script to check if mplayer or vlc is being used if not switch off? | 08:01 |
| Kilos | kodez, why did you go for lubuntu | 09:18 |
| kodez | unity and gnome 3 doesn't work in old laptops and i tried puppy linux and it worked well i then changed it to lubuntu after the launch of ubuntu 12.04 | 09:20 |
| Kilos | doesnt unity 2d work even? | 09:22 |
| Kilos | my desktop pc is old but it works here | 09:22 |
| kodez | it does work well | 09:22 |
| CanStudy | unity 2d is going to be dropped, afaik | 09:22 |
| Kilos | arent they bringing something else out in its place for older pcs? | 09:23 |
| Kilos | i read somewhere about a new interface i think its called | 09:23 |
| kodez | unity doesn't work well in my mother's laptop | 09:24 |
| Kilos | inetpro, should know | 09:24 |
| Kilos | i only use 2d as well because when i activate the nvidia-server thing it sees my pc as a lappy and goes 640x480 screen | 09:25 |
| Kilos | so i gave up and use 2d | 09:25 |
| CanStudy | lol | 09:27 |
| CanStudy | tried updating drivers? | 09:27 |
| kodez | i am happy with lubuntu even it's not in the unity standard | 09:28 |
| CanStudy | :) | 09:28 |
| Kilos | i will try lubuntu when my son gets here with the iso sometime | 09:31 |
| kodez | where are you residing uncle Kilos? | 09:32 |
| Kilos | pta | 09:32 |
| kodez | which side? east, west, south? | 09:33 |
| kodez | or north? | 09:33 |
| Kilos | west | 09:33 |
| Kilos | towards brits | 09:33 |
| kodez | you are far from me. I have the desktop and alternate 32 bit. | 09:34 |
| Kilos | my son will bring when he gets a chance or has work to do in pta | 09:34 |
| Kilos | he has downloaded lots of iso's for me | 09:35 |
| kodez | kwl | 09:35 |
| Kilos | but im still getting used to unity 2d so no rush | 09:35 |
| Kilos | but still prefer gnome2 | 09:35 |
| Kilos | i have even tried tinycorelinux but cant get the usb modem to connect without getting more packages | 09:37 |
| kodez | i prefere gnome2 too | 09:37 |
| Kilos | it was quicker in my opinion | 09:38 |
| Kilos | well still is | 09:39 |
| kodez | let me get my work of the incoming tray and will log in again later | 09:43 |
| smile4 | :) | 09:44 |
| Kilos | hi smile4 | 09:48 |
| smile4 | hi Kilos | 09:49 |
| smile4 | I'm tired | 09:49 |
| smile4 | :p | 09:49 |
| Squirm | I'm Squirm | 10:05 |
| Squirm | :p | 10:05 |
| * Squirm ponders | 10:06 | |
| Squirm | Ubuntu | 10:06 |
| Squirm | or | 10:06 |
| Squirm | Mint | 10:06 |
| smile4 | Squirm: both! :p | 10:09 |
| Squirm | smile4: I'm scared | 10:45 |
| Squirm | :P | 10:45 |
| Kilos | you scared Squirm ? | 10:56 |
| Kilos | oh my | 10:57 |
| Squirm | what if I break something | 10:58 |
| Squirm | and then I've lost my data | 10:58 |
| Kilos | cant you do it in virtual box | 10:58 |
| Squirm | I want to install Ubuntu | 10:59 |
| Kilos | then run alongside | 10:59 |
| Squirm | no | 10:59 |
| Kilos | why? | 11:00 |
| Squirm | I have 3 partitions, / and /home and one where I store windows. so if I install it on /, I technically shouldn't lose my data | 11:00 |
| Squirm | but I'm scared :P | 11:00 |
| Kilos | backup first | 11:01 |
| sakhi | techinally you should not loose data as long as backup and create a volume/partition for the new installation. | 11:01 |
| sakhi | *technically | 11:02 |
| Squirm | sakhi: I want to overwrite my current distro. there shouldn't be a problem | 11:02 |
| Squirm | I can format and install it on sda1, because all my non-OS data is on sda5 | 11:03 |
| sakhi | why don't you do-release-upgrade? | 11:03 |
| sakhi | that way you wont loose data but you will use bandwidth | 11:04 |
| Squirm | possible to move from Debian Squeeze to Ubuntu Natty? | 11:04 |
| Squirm | na | 11:09 |
| Squirm | I'll format | 11:09 |
| Squirm | mebbe tomorrow | 11:09 |

| Cantide | so Ubuntu just died on me -.- | 15:32 |
| Cantide | PC froze, when i rebooted had a nice little kernel panic | 15:32 |
| Cantide | i think the kernel got corrupt when it froze | 15:32 |
| Cantide | how do i fix this without reinstalling? | 15:33 |
| Symmetria | dammit | 15:47 |
| Symmetria | Im gonna have to switch to using cli exclusively | 15:47 |
| Symmetria | my damn dog just stole my second wireless mouse | 15:47 |
| Symmetria | and chewed it up | 15:47 |
| Kilos | Cantide, can you boot to grub menu and go recovery | 15:48 |
| Cantide | i tried | 15:48 |
| Cantide | it failed | 15:48 |
| Kilos | ok | 15:48 |
| Cantide | http://askubuntu.com/questions/28099/how-to-restore-a-system-after-accidentally-removing-all-kernels | 15:48 |
| Cantide | this looks okay | 15:48 |
| Kilos | boot from cd then get boot-repair | 15:48 |
| Cantide | i'll give it a shot.. | 15:48 |
| Kilos | ok try that first | 15:49 |
| Kilos | Cantide, how did you get here if you cant boot | 15:50 |
| Kilos | http://www.howopensource.com/2012/05/reinstall-recover-grub-from-ubuntu-12-04-live-cd-usb/ | 15:50 |
| Cantide | sometimes it reaches grub | 15:50 |
| Cantide | sometimes it doesn't | 15:50 |
| Cantide | had a kernel panic once | 15:51 |
| Cantide | another time i didn't | 15:51 |
| Kilos | ok try till you see recovery then use that | 15:51 |
| Kilos | otherwise option 2 here | 15:54 |
| Kilos | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 15:54 |
| Cantide | i think i need to reboot to see if i fixed it | 16:01 |
| smile4 | bye | 16:02 |
| smile4 | :p | 16:02 |
| Cantide | '-' | 16:02 |
| Kilos | cheers smile4 | 16:02 |
| smile4 | byebye :) | 16:02 |
| Kilos | oh my cantide didnt win, looks like | 16:37 |
| Symmetria | hrm | 16:39 |
| Symmetria | I want something that can read mp3 id3 tags and make me a nice html index | 16:39 |
| Symmetria | :p | 16:39 |
| Symmetria | hrm it seems that mp3tag can do that | 16:41 |
| Kilos | Symmetria, are you using ubuntu? | 16:42 |
| Symmetria | kilos using about every operating system you can name :) | 16:42 |
| Symmetria | I have loads of machines here at home | 16:42 |
| Kilos | http://forums.cnet.com/7723-6617_102-514512/how-to-edit-id3-tags-in-ubuntu/ | 16:42 |
| Symmetria | heh, I got a tag editor, been editing tags alllll day | 16:43 |
| Symmetria | now I just wanna make pretty index's | 16:43 |
| Symmetria | :) | 16:43 |
| Kilos | ah | 16:43 |
| Symmetria | got about 17 thousand tracks not properly tagged yet | 16:43 |
| Symmetria | in the mp3 section | 16:43 |
| Symmetria | maybe another 15 thousand flacs | 16:43 |
| Kilos | your music is gonna be the death of you | 16:43 |
| Symmetria | which means Im 2/3rds of the way through :p | 16:43 |
| Symmetria | actually real easy to tag with the software Im using | 16:44 |
| Symmetria | select the album, tell the software to search amazon for the album, hit review, make sure that the tagging matches up with the actual tracks and hit go | 16:44 |
| Symmetria | and it tags the album with the album art from amazon and the proper track names, numbers, etc | 16:44 |
| Kilos | one by one | 16:45 |
| Kilos | ? | 16:45 |
| Kilos | you gonna be old and gray before you finished | 16:45 |
| Symmetria | heh no, it does it basically an album at a time | 16:45 |
| Kilos | whew | 16:45 |
| Symmetria | then hit another button and it renames all the files nicely and puts em in nice directories | 16:45 |
| Symmetria | with some pretty cool regex's | 16:46 |
| Symmetria | lol, hold on, will show you something | 16:46 |
| Symmetria | kilos whats your email addy :) | 16:46 |
| Kilos | msdomdonner@gmail.com | 16:47 |
| Symmetria | there | 16:50 |
| Symmetria | :p go look at that | 16:50 |
| Kilos | ok | 16:50 |
| Symmetria | heh everything thats not in the unsorted section is correctly tagged, with correct album art etc | 16:51 |
| Kilos | holy moly | 16:52 |
| Kilos | will take years to listen to all of that | 16:52 |
| Symmetria | lol, scary thing is, if its not a bootleg or impossible to buy, I own originals for I would recon 99% of that | 16:52 |
| Symmetria | :p | 16:52 |
| Kilos | whew | 16:52 |
| Kilos | no master of reality by sabbath | 16:53 |
| Kilos | or have i got the wrong group | 16:53 |
| Symmetria | hrm, if I dont have it lol, I'll probably find it when I do my next check against what Im missing in discographies and get it then | 16:53 |
| Symmetria | every so often I take each artist and do a search and fill in missing albums | 16:54 |
| Symmetria | :p | 16:54 |
| Kilos | ah | 16:54 |
| Kerbero | i would in such a case just index all my music in a mysql database | 16:54 |
| Kerbero | and write a php script to display w/e on a website | 16:54 |
| Symmetria | heh yeah i should do that | 16:55 |
| Kilos | http://www.amazon.com/Master-Reality-Black-Sabbath/dp/B000002KDO | 16:55 |
| Kerbero | it is basically what i did with my series | 16:55 |
| Kilos | dunno why i remember that | 16:55 |
| Kilos | musta enjoyed it 100 years ago | 16:56 |
| Symmetria | heh some of the stuff I have to actually scan the damn artwork myself because not even amazon can find it :p | 16:56 |
| Symmetria | you know something is pretty rare when amazon, discogz and freedb cant match it | 16:58 |
| Kerbero | indeed | 16:59 |
| Kerbero | i had it a lot with some classical cd's of my parents | 17:00 |
| Kerbero | and some afrikaans artists' cd's | 17:00 |
| Kilos | its no wonder youre always complaining about prices | 17:00 |
| Kilos | music costs | 17:00 |
| Symmetria | heh kilos I dont even wanna know how much Ive spent on my music collection | 17:02 |
| Symmetria | its an insanely sick amount | 17:02 |
| Symmetria | similar to my book collection | 17:02 |
| Kilos | lol | 17:02 |
| Symmetria | lol, I have 1300 fantasy titles in my book library excluding my ebooks | 17:02 |
| Symmetria | 1300 books x average of 120 bux a book probably = way 2 much money :p | 17:03 |
