[06:18] magespawn: the sky? [06:18] luckily that is always up, would hate for that to fall [06:19] indeed, it would be quite tragic, I'd imagine [06:19] i have found a use for those little foam rings in cd/dvd packs [06:20] oh? [06:21] stick them on the bottom of things that are light but need a little padding eg portable hard drives [06:21] ah, awesome idea [06:29] now if i can patent it i will be rich lol [06:31] need to find a glue that will not disolve the ring [06:38] ty superfly [06:39] magespawn: for what? [06:41] thinking that is an awesome idea [06:42] well, it is. [07:12] hi superfly [07:12] magespawn, [07:12] hi Kilos, welcome back [07:15] ty superfly [07:16] hey Kilos [07:16] i need to get kppp working because for some strange reason sakis3g isnt working to mxit today [07:17] but dunno if it can find the modem if sakis3g is connected [07:19] superfly, how do i give this file back to root [07:19] Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-miles" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. [07:20] i dunno why its mine [07:21] hi zeref [07:21] the hummer [07:21] Kilos wait for confirmation but can you not chown it to root? [07:22] oh maybe with root:root [07:22] instead of miles:miles [07:22] does that work [07:22] hehe [07:23] i think sakis3g steals the temp folder [07:23] not sure [07:23] but [07:23] it seems to be a common prob [07:24] http://www.codecoffee.com/tipsforlinux/articles/14.html [07:25] last paragraph shows it [07:25] but not the noob way to fix it [07:25] hi charlvn [07:26] hi Kilos [07:28] if sakis stole it with the chmod command then if i change it sakis wont work [07:30] morning Kilos , superfly , magespawn [07:31] hey not_found [07:31] why does it need to do that [07:31] ? [07:32] if it does i think you can add it to a group that will give it ownership of that [07:33] hi not_found [07:34] its part of the setup commands magespawn [07:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1580427 [07:34] i think thats the right link [07:41] if 12.04 could enable mobile broadband like 10.10 then one wouldnt need to go kppp or sakis3g [07:42] mmm will have to read up on it [07:43] if i try edit 8ta in nm that i used with cell yesterday it gives this error message [07:43] No agents were available for this request.
