| Kilos | hi henkj first time here? | 12:42 |
|---|---|---|
| Kilos | afternoon everyone | 12:43 |
| bakuman | hi Oom Kilos | 12:44 |
| Kilos | bakuman, what you know about kde booting to black screen | 12:45 |
| Kilos | after install | 12:45 |
| Kilos | i tried ctrl+alt+f12 and alt+f12 but didnt work | 12:45 |
| Kilos | where im going wrong | 12:45 |
| Kilos | gotta untick desktop effects | 12:46 |
| Kilos | the fly and weed know but i forgot | 12:47 |
| bakuman | Don't have much experience with KDE, you should try Tonberry when he's here | 12:47 |
| Kilos | lol | 12:48 |
| Kilos | i kept getting a popup saying some app had crashed and when i looked at details it was nepomuk backup thing | 12:48 |
| Kilos | removed it and it also removed 1/2 of kde so did a clean install but now i forgot how to get to the desktop to kill them effects till nvidia is installed | 12:49 |
| Kilos | grrrr | 12:49 |
| Kilos | domdonner | 12:49 |
| Kilos | hehe got it alt+shift+F12 | 12:53 |
| Kilos | took like 4 hours to remember that | 12:53 |
| inetpro | good afternoon | 13:11 |
| * tumbleweed waves from heathrow - on my way to UDS | 13:13 | |
| Kilos | fly safe tumbleweed | 13:13 |
| Kilos | hi inetpro | 13:13 |
| tumbleweed | I have a nexus 7 with Ubuntu on it, in my bag | 13:13 |
| tumbleweed | it work ssuprisingly well | 13:13 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: nice! | 13:13 |
| tumbleweed | (but pretty slow, too) | 13:14 |
| inetpro | hmm... | 13:14 |
| inetpro | slow is not good | 13:14 |
| inetpro | hi Kilos | 13:14 |
| tumbleweed | tbh, the onscreen keyboard is so painful tha tthe speed isn't a problem | 13:14 |
| Kilos | wbb need modem on new kde install | 13:15 |
| * tumbleweed wanders off | 13:22 | |
| === CanAFK is now known as Cantide | ||
| Kilos | lo | 14:16 |
| Kilos | 12.04 really been a painful experience 3g wise | 14:18 |
| charlvn | Kilos: hi, how so? | 14:25 |
| Kilos | lol i can never install and have it work without gyppoing something first\ | 14:26 |
| Kilos | i got a script somewhere that fixes it but heaven knows where | 14:26 |
| Kilos | will ask mage tomorrow | 14:27 |
| Kilos | he remembers a bit better | 14:28 |
| charlvn | Kilos: sounds really irritating | 14:51 |
| charlvn | i used to have problems with my 3g a long time ago | 14:51 |
| charlvn | i thought, if i ever wanted to use 3g on a regular basis, it might be worth while to invest in a mifi or something similar | 14:51 |
| Kilos | lol i been lu8cky since 8.10 till 12.04 | 14:51 |
| charlvn | but those are also quite expensive last i checked | 14:52 |
| charlvn | in NL they sell for like 100 euro | 14:52 |
| Kilos | wow | 14:52 |
| Kilos | 3g modems go on specials all the time | 14:52 |
| charlvn | yeah it's worth while waiting and grabbing one when it's on special | 14:53 |
| Kilos | these guys got a good fix | 14:53 |
| charlvn | but then as long as your laptop / desktop can get onto wifi you can get on 3g as well | 14:53 |
| charlvn | no more driver hassles etc | 14:53 |
| Kilos | http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-auto-connect-ubuntu-1204-gsm-mobile-broadband-connection-on-boot-startup-service | 14:53 |
| Kilos | ah | 14:53 |
| charlvn | ah nice | 14:53 |
| Kilos | dont you need to plugin a 3g modem | 14:54 |
| Kilos | lappy got it built in? | 14:54 |
| charlvn | no i mean, a mifi router is basically a device that connects to the umts network and then serves local clients via a built-in hotspot | 14:54 |
| charlvn | so as long as you can connect to the wifi hotspot it works | 14:54 |
| Kilos | ah | 14:55 |
| charlvn | very handy | 14:55 |
| charlvn | you can also easily connect multiple devices to the internet via one router | 14:55 |
| charlvn | i think it can serve like 10 devices simultaneously etc | 14:56 |
| Kilos | wow | 14:56 |
| charlvn | you can even build your own one using the right hw+sw if you have the time | 14:56 |
| charlvn | but overall it might be cheaper to buy one out of the box, unless you have spare hw lying around | 14:56 |
| Kilos | what kinda hw | 14:57 |
| charlvn | well you need a 3g modem for one thing, a small cheap motherboard that can run linux, maybe a flash drive to install linux on, and a wifi interface | 14:57 |
| charlvn | there are a bunch of really cheap linux-based mini-computers that have been coming out the last while | 14:58 |
| Kilos | whew | 14:58 |
| charlvn | but it's a bit of a niche so it might be a mail order thing | 14:58 |
| Kilos | charlvn, you busy? | 15:08 |
| * Kilos needs schooling on how to copy that script from that fanclub link | 15:10 | |
| charlvn | sure, what's the link? | 15:10 |
| Kilos | no tight click copy option and ctrl c and v dont work | 15:11 |
| Kilos | http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-auto-connect-ubuntu-1204-gsm-mobile-broadband-connection-on-boot-startup-service | 15:11 |
| Kilos | much too clever for me | 15:11 |
| Kilos | even tried ctrlc and ctrl v in slexy but no gooddunno how mage did it | 15:12 |
| charlvn | hmmm lemme just see | 15:12 |
| charlvn | wow this is not handy | 15:13 |
| Kilos | only that script bit dont copy | 15:13 |
| Kilos | weird | 15:13 |
| charlvn | what i did was i just clicked inside the script and pressed ctrl+a and then ctrl+c and it worked | 15:14 |
| charlvn | here is the one: https://raw.github.com/gist/3968866/48d3332eadf9773a5b2cdec55ffb325f01258fc8/gistfile1.txt | 15:14 |
| Kilos | ty charlvn | 15:15 |
| charlvn | here is the other: https://raw.github.com/gist/3968868/79e8ba68537ebea427c2f5090ec18b0e81cacb2d/gistfile1.txt | 15:15 |
| Kilos | ctrl+a is what | 15:15 |
| charlvn | select all | 15:15 |
| Kilos | ah and then the ctrl+c to copy | 15:15 |
| charlvn | yup | 15:15 |
| Kilos | gracias | 15:15 |
| charlvn | if that still doesn't work, just open the urls above and copy from there | 15:16 |
| charlvn | no prob :_ | 15:16 |
| charlvn | :) | 15:16 |
| Kilos | will do ty. still no luck with ctrl+v on a file here or on slexy.org | 15:18 |
| Kilos | how did you paste it? | 15:19 |
| charlvn | just ctrl+v as usual | 15:20 |
| charlvn | hmmm, strange | 15:20 |
| charlvn | yeah just works for me: http://slexy.org/raw/s2187MlZH9 | 15:21 |
| Kilos | dont work for me pastes an old copied link | 15:21 |
| Kilos | grrr | 15:21 |
| charlvn | hmmm, sounds like the copy didn't work for you | 15:21 |
| charlvn | what happens if you try to copy from the above link? | 15:22 |
| Kilos | ya | 15:22 |
| charlvn | here's the second one: http://slexy.org/raw/s20p2MtkBN | 15:22 |
| charlvn | very weird though | 15:22 |
| charlvn | but that other site does have an unhandy code block thing | 15:22 |
| Kilos | murphy's law | 15:22 |
| Kilos | if you can struggle you will | 15:22 |
| charlvn | :D | 15:22 |
| Kilos | ty again | 15:23 |
| charlvn | if it's possible to struggle, you will struggle for the longest possible period of time :) | 15:23 |
| charlvn | something like that? | 15:23 |
| Kilos | hahaha | 15:23 |
| charlvn | np | 15:23 |
| charlvn | glad to help | 15:23 |

| charlvn | hi smileE17 | 17:57 |
| smileE17 | hi charl :D | 18:00 |
| charlvn | how's it going? | 18:03 |
| smileE17 | good :) and you? :p | 18:09 |
| smileE17 | how do you like http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra_Linux ? :p | 18:09 |
| charlvn | i have tried it actually, a long time ago | 18:10 |
| charlvn | more than a year i mean, about 18 months or so | 18:10 |
| charlvn | i thought it was quite good at the time | 18:10 |
| charlvn | although i still used ubuntu as my main operating system | 18:10 |
| charlvn | actually there are a lot of really good "smaller" linux distributions out there but ubuntu at the moment satisfies all my needs | 18:12 |
| smileE17 | yeah, charlvn :p | 18:14 |
| smileE17 | but normally i dislike chakra linux :p | 18:14 |
| smileE17 | (i mean: dislike big distros) | 18:14 |
| smileE17 | but i like chakra linux (and it's KDE, which I hate normally too :P ) | 18:15 |
| charlvn | interesting, why do you dislike big distros? | 18:17 |
| charlvn | politics/economic interests/something else? | 18:18 |
| smileE17 | because it takes forever to download them :p | 18:24 |
| smileE17 | and they need a lot of disk space, which i usually don't have :p | 18:24 |
| Squirm | evening | 18:52 |
| smileE17 | good evening, Squirm | 18:54 |
| smileE17 | :p | 18:54 |
| Squirm | hello smileE17, charlvn | 18:56 |
| smileE17 | :) | 18:57 |
| charlvn | smileE17: nah, popular distro's like ubuntu have a ton of good mirrors - at work i download ubuntu isos from the local mirror at 40MBps | 18:57 |
| charlvn | it takes 20 seconds flat to download any one of them | 18:58 |
| charlvn | hi Squirm | 18:58 |
| Banlam | i was only getting 1.4mbps from kubuntu now now | 18:58 |
| Kerbero | when out IT department is not breaking stuff i get 1gbps to the SA mirror | 18:58 |
| Banlam | MBps | 18:58 |
| Banlam | but i didn't select a mirror | 18:58 |
| Squirm | If I were them, I'd route the downloads to the closest location | 18:59 |
| Kerbero | well that is the idea behind ubuntu's repo's | 19:00 |
| Kerbero | if you choose Johannesburg as your time zone, za.archive.ubuntu.com is set as your repo | 19:00 |
| charlvn | Kerbero: is that to the tenet mirror? that one is very good | 19:02 |
| Kerbero | jip | 19:02 |
| charlvn | not good from here obviously, but good if you're from inside south africa | 19:02 |
| charlvn | especially if you are on an academic network because tenet anyway right? connected to tenet i mean | 19:03 |
| Kerbero | we are supposed to have a 10gbps fiber to there | 19:03 |
| Kerbero | yes | 19:03 |
| charlvn | yes that's good | 19:03 |
| Kerbero | i did get nice speeds once doing a iperf to that mirror | 19:03 |
| Kerbero | but lately it is not that great | 19:03 |
| charlvn | Kerbero: it could be because a new ubuntu version has been released and now everyone is downloading from the mirror | 19:04 |
| charlvn | the mirrors take great strain right after a new release of a major distro | 19:04 |
| Kerbero | no, i mean lately as in the past few months | 19:04 |
| charlvn | ah i see | 19:04 |
| charlvn | i would like to know why i get exactly 40MBps from my local mirror though, not more, not less | 19:05 |
| charlvn | and it's consistent | 19:05 |
| charlvn | i wonder if they limit each tcp connection to 320mbps or something | 19:05 |
| charlvn | from some other servers i get 95+ MBps | 19:06 |
| charlvn | nn all | 19:20 |
| smileE17 | bye :p | 19:34 |
