Kilosah06:31
Kiloswhats lirc06:33
SquirmNo software pantents! What is LIRC ? LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of many (but not all) commonly ...06:36
Kilosif you type in pulse in synaptic it says one package does something with lirc06:38
Kilosnow i cant find which one it was again06:42
Kiloswbb06:46
jrgnsmorning all06:51
Kilosonly xchat no sound06:51
Kiloshi jrgns 06:51
superflyKilos: then it's a problem with xchat06:54
superflyand Kilos, reinstalling a package doesn't usually fix an issue like that06:54
Kilosya but xchat never gives probs06:54
Kiloslol06:54
superflyMaaz: google for xchat no sound06:54
Maazsuperfly: "xchat.org • View topic - No sound directory" http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?t=687 :: "XCHAT FAQ" http://xchat.org/faq/ :: "No sound in stock xchat 2.8.4 | b-initials" http://bapoumba.wordpress.com/2009/02/16/no-sound-in-stock-xchat-284/ :: "how to setup xchat - YouTube" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElC7eNy3BT4 :: "Download X-Chat Azure for Mac - IRC chat client ported from UNIX ..." http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/110706:54

Kilosthe one in 12.0406:59
superflyno, xchat or xchat-gnome ?06:59
Kilosno not gnome that sucks07:00
superflyOK, cause they say the normal xchat doesn't come with sounds, and you have to add your own07:00

kodezhow to change file permission by default to user not root for all files09:51
magespawnsuperfly i am little confused with vpn, is OpenVPN foss or not?09:51
Kiloskodez, in your home?09:52
kodezyes. for my laptop09:54
Kilosi just chown my home09:54
Kilossudo chown -R kodez:kodez /home/09:54
magespawnyou should not need to do that though09:55
kodezi am using Lubuntu and by default it changes all files permission to root09:57
superflymagespawn: afaik, yes09:57
magespawnso i install in on my shop server and run it from there?09:57
Kilossuperfly, my sound goes deeper than xchat , thunderbird has no sound and freecell too09:59
Kilosbut dont worry about it ill reinstall if i dont get it going09:59
Kiloshavent tried fsck yet10:00
Kilosor recovery10:00
superflykodez: probably because you did something wrong, like running an app as root10:05
superflymagespawn: I haven't run it in recent years, but I'm sure you can do something like that10:06
superflymagespawn: wy do you want to run OpenVPN?10:07
magespawnwant to try and set up a vpn, learn by doing10:07
superflyah, ok10:09
superflyya, openvpn is probably a good way to start10:09
magespawnalso busy trying a ftp server to do remote backups10:09
magespawnLove the Woooosh10:10
superflymagespawn: please, no. leave FTP to die in solitary misery10:11
superflyif you wnat to do remote backups, use scp or rsync10:11
superfly*want10:11
magespawnokay but is there a way to get that to work with windows?10:12
magespawnand the backup program offers ftp already10:13
kodezsuperfly, i didn't do anything. from installation that's what i'm faced with10:13
superflymagespawn: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/10:14
magespawnty10:14
superflymagespawn: and you do get rsync for Windows10:14
inetproMaaz: ftp10:15
MaazDump FTP! http://www.43folders.com/2008/07/14/dump-ftp see also: FTP must Die!! http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie10:15
inetpromagespawn: ^^10:15
magespawnty guys10:18
magespawnokay so sftp is better but is that not still based on ftp?10:22
superflysftp is not ftp, it is an alternate protocol that uses SSH10:29
magespawnahh10:29
magespawncould you still use vsftp to do sftp?10:36
superflyno, that's an FTP server, SFTP != FTP10:36
superflymagespawn: you already have all the tools you need to do SFTP10:36
magespawnokay will go do some more research then10:37
magespawnyou would still need to set up accounts on a per user basis with keys for each account?10:44
magespawnokay now i am lost what the heck is ftps? secure ftp?10:49
tumbleweedftp + ssl10:54
tumbleweedconfusingly, some people say SFTP when they mean ftps10:54
magespawnokay 10:56
magespawnany pointers here would be welcome, a little lost10:57
Kilosaw wassup magespawn 10:57
magespawnftp, ftps and SFTP10:58
Kilosi mkissed everything methinks10:58
Kiloshehe10:58
Kilosis that virtual networking10:58
magespawnfile transfer by various means to remote or from remote machines10:59
Kiloswhat are you networking with, alla shop pcs?10:59
magespawnyup and was looking to try a remote backup through the internet to my shop server10:59
Kiloseish work it out i wanna know that too when i get the guts to go the dhcp iptables thing again11:00
Kiloswhy dont you do backups with deja-dup to ubuntuone11:00
Kilosits the first option in deja-dup11:00
Kilosi had to fight it to get them local11:01
Kilosi think then after that ubuntuone syncs them daily11:01
magespawnthere is a fairly nice program called Cobian Backup that works well with windows that supports remote backup via ftp11:01
Kilosoh windows11:02
Kilosouch11:02
magespawnyup of course11:02
Kilosxp or 711:03
magespawn711:03
magespawnand probable xp, experimenting with my hardware11:03
Kilosthere is an irc channel called windows11:04
Kilos#windows11:04
magespawnyes that side i had not got to yet11:05
Kilos448 peeps there11:05
magespawnwas looking into the software i would need on my ubuntu server11:05
Kilosaha write down hey, ian is also going ubuntu server with windows pcs11:06

magespawnsftp built into OpenSSH?11:14
Kiloslol ya again11:15
Kilosmagespawn, ubuntuone works with windows as well11:17
magespawni want to have the backup locally11:19
Kilosone backup for all pcs?11:20
magespawnone backup per user/customer if i can get it to work11:20
Kiloswhew11:21
Kilosif you cant look at ubuntuone. maybe with one main backup folder there with individual folders in it as per customer it can sync the whole main folder to one pc by you as they back up each his own11:23
Kilossorry for bugging you11:23
Kilosjust an idea11:23
Kilostakes my mind off where my mates sound went11:24

zerefI'm busy looking to the API documentation for it: its keeps sending me to http://doc.conduit-project.org/evolution-python/13:56
tumbleweedzeref: does this help answer that? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-python-desktop/2.32.0+dfsg-2ubuntu113:56
tumbleweedin general, gnome-python-desktop appears to be on the way out13:57
tumbleweedyou should be using gobject introspection these days, I think13:57
zerefhmmm13:58
zerefneed to look around to see if it works with eveolution-data-server14:00
inetproKilos: ek's hier... dit is jy waar kom en gaan14:40
Kilosskuus man ek sien nou net as ek die kable in het vrek my 3g14:41
Kiloslyk my hulle wil nie al twee nm gebruik nie14:41
Kilosinetpro, lotsa experimenting to do with networking its very frustrating at times14:51
Kilosso forgive me if i disappear evry now and then14:51
inetproKilos: np14:52
inetproit's part of the learning experience14:53
Squirmgood afternoon14:53
Kilosavy Squirm 15:01
Kilosyour server going?15:01
Kilosyo smile 17:12
smilehallo :p17:15
magespawnevening all17:25
Kiloshey magespawn 17:25
smilebrb17:25
magespawnwhats up Kilos?17:25
Kilosthis is a lekker channel you know17:25
Kilosguys dont fight and be nasty here17:25
magespawnvery thats why i spend so much time here17:26
magespawnand they know a lot17:26
Kilosim still building up the guts to go try the networking thing again but wanna try with gnome-ppp and/or sakis3g instead of nm for the 3g connection17:27
magespawncan you only connect the pc's with a cable?17:27
Kilosyeah when i plug the cable now 3g disconnexts after a while till i unplug cable again17:29
Kilospity i didnt try this when i was still running maverick on 2 pcs17:30
Kilosoh can still do that from other drive here with maverick17:31
magespawnwe need to try and get to the bottom of why it does it17:31
Kilosyeah thats why i wanna try maverick and hopefully see where the weak point is17:32
Kilosmight even be the mb not happy with 3g and cable onboard17:32
Kilosi dont know enough17:33
magespawni still think is trys to use the cable as the default route for internet traffic17:34
magespawnmy tablet uses wifi as the default rather than 3g so i have turn that off when at home17:35
Kiloseish17:38
Kilostheres lots online about using wifi but min about cable and 3g17:38
Kiloswifi and cable seems to be mostly available on mod machines17:39
smileI bought a USB to LAN adapter today :) for my laptop :p17:40
smileand it worked :)17:40
Kilosyay17:40
Kilosthe frustrating part here is i could use both pcs to 3g for one night without a problem then nm crashed next morn on booting17:42
smileit was from China, lol :p17:42
