[12:43] afternoon everyone [12:44] hi Oom Kilos [12:45] bakuman, what you know about kde booting to black screen [12:45] after install [12:45] i tried ctrl+alt+f12 and alt+f12 but didnt work [12:45] where im going wrong [12:46] gotta untick desktop effects [12:47] the fly and weed know but i forgot [12:47] Don't have much experience with KDE, you should try Tonberry when he's here [12:48] lol [12:48] i kept getting a popup saying some app had crashed and when i looked at details it was nepomuk backup thing [12:49] 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] grrrr [12:49] domdonner [12:53] hehe got it alt+shift+F12 [12:53] took like 4 hours to remember that [13:11] good afternoon [13:13] * tumbleweed waves from heathrow - on my way to UDS [13:13] fly safe tumbleweed [13:13] hi inetpro [13:13] I have a nexus 7 with Ubuntu on it, in my bag [13:13] it work ssuprisingly well [13:13] tumbleweed: nice! [13:14] (but pretty slow, too) [13:14] hmm... [13:14] slow is not good [13:14] hi Kilos [13:14] tbh, the onscreen keyboard is so painful tha tthe speed isn't a problem [13:15] wbb need modem on new kde install [13:22] * tumbleweed wanders off === CanAFK is now known as Cantide [14:16] lo [14:18] 12.04 really been a painful experience 3g wise [14:25] Kilos: hi, how so? [14:26] lol i can never install and have it work without gyppoing something first\ [14:26] i got a script somewhere that fixes it but heaven knows where [14:27] will ask mage tomorrow [14:28] he remembers a bit better [14:51] Kilos: sounds really irritating [14:51] i used to have problems with my 3g a long time ago [14:51] 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] lol i been lu8cky since 8.10 till 12.04 [14:52] but those are also quite expensive last i checked [14:52] in NL they sell for like 100 euro [14:52] wow [14:52] 3g modems go on specials all the time [14:53] yeah it's worth while waiting and grabbing one when it's on special [14:53] these guys got a good fix [14:53] but then as long as your laptop / desktop can get onto wifi you can get on 3g as well [14:53] no more driver hassles etc [14:53] http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-auto-connect-ubuntu-1204-gsm-mobile-broadband-connection-on-boot-startup-service [14:53] ah [14:53] ah nice [14:54] dont you need to plugin a 3g modem [14:54] lappy got it built in? [14:54] 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] so as long as you can connect to the wifi hotspot it works [14:55] ah [14:55] very handy [14:55] you can also easily connect multiple devices to the internet via one router [14:56] i think it can serve like 10 devices simultaneously etc [14:56] wow [14:56] you can even build your own one using the right hw+sw if you have the time [14:56] but overall it might be cheaper to buy one out of the box, unless you have spare hw lying around [14:57] what kinda hw [14:57] 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 [14:58] there are a bunch of really cheap linux-based mini-computers that have been coming out the last while [14:58] whew [14:58] but it's a bit of a niche so it might be a mail order thing [15:08] charlvn, you busy? [15:10] * Kilos needs schooling on how to copy that script from that fanclub link [15:10] sure, what's the link? [15:11] no tight click copy option and ctrl c and v dont work [15:11] http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-auto-connect-ubuntu-1204-gsm-mobile-broadband-connection-on-boot-startup-service [15:11] much too clever for me [15:12] even tried ctrlc and ctrl v in slexy but no gooddunno how mage did it [15:12] hmmm lemme just see [15:13] wow this is not handy [15:13] only that script bit dont copy [15:13] weird [15:14] what i did was i just clicked inside the script and pressed ctrl+a and then ctrl+c and it worked [15:14] here is the one: https://raw.github.com/gist/3968866/48d3332eadf9773a5b2cdec55ffb325f01258fc8/gistfile1.txt [15:15] ty charlvn [15:15] here is the other: https://raw.github.com/gist/3968868/79e8ba68537ebea427c2f5090ec18b0e81cacb2d/gistfile1.txt [15:15] ctrl+a is what [15:15] select all [15:15] ah and then the ctrl+c to copy [15:15] yup [15:15] gracias [15:16] if that still doesn't work, just open the urls above and copy from there [15:16] no prob :_ [15:16] :) [15:18] will do ty. still no luck with ctrl+v on a file here or on slexy.org [15:19] how did you paste it? [15:20] just ctrl+v as usual [15:20] hmmm, strange [15:21] yeah just works for me: http://slexy.org/raw/s2187MlZH9 [15:21] dont work for me pastes an old copied link [15:21] grrr [15:21] hmmm, sounds like the copy didn't work for you [15:22] what happens if you try to copy from the above link? [15:22] ya [15:22] here's the second one: http://slexy.org/raw/s20p2MtkBN [15:22] very weird though [15:22] but that other site does have an unhandy code block thing [15:22] murphy's law [15:22] if you can struggle you will [15:22] :D [15:23] ty again [15:23] if it's possible to struggle, you will struggle for the longest possible period of time :) [15:23] something like that? [15:23] hahaha [15:23] np [15:23] glad to help === Vincent__ is now known as Guest83523 [16:20] i go try get kde to see 3g modem again. wbb later === Vincent__ is now known as Guest22351 [17:57] hi smileE17 [18:00] hi charl :D [18:03] how's it going? [18:09] good :) and you? :p [18:09] how do you like http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra_Linux ? :p [18:10] i have tried it actually, a long time ago [18:10] more than a year i mean, about 18 months or so [18:10] i thought it was quite good at the time [18:10] although i still used ubuntu as my main operating system [18:12] actually there are a lot of really good "smaller" linux distributions out there but ubuntu at the moment satisfies all my needs [18:14] yeah, charlvn :p [18:14] but normally i dislike chakra linux :p [18:14] (i mean: dislike big distros) [18:15] but i like chakra linux (and it's KDE, which I hate normally too :P ) [18:17] interesting, why do you dislike big distros? [18:18] politics/economic interests/something else? [18:24] because it takes forever to download them :p [18:24] and they need a lot of disk space, which i usually don't have :p [18:52] evening [18:54] good evening, Squirm [18:54] :p [18:56] hello smileE17, charlvn [18:57] :) [18:57] 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 [18:58] it takes 20 seconds flat to download any one of them [18:58] hi Squirm [18:58] i was only getting 1.4mbps from kubuntu now now [18:58] when out IT department is not breaking stuff i get 1gbps to the SA mirror [18:58] MBps [18:58] but i didn't select a mirror [18:59] If I were them, I'd route the downloads to the closest location [19:00] well that is the idea behind ubuntu's repo's [19:00] if you choose Johannesburg as your time zone, za.archive.ubuntu.com is set as your repo [19:02] Kerbero: is that to the tenet mirror? that one is very good [19:02] jip [19:02] not good from here obviously, but good if you're from inside south africa [19:03] especially if you are on an academic network because tenet anyway right? connected to tenet i mean [19:03] we are supposed to have a 10gbps fiber to there [19:03] yes [19:03] yes that's good [19:03] i did get nice speeds once doing a iperf to that mirror [19:03] but lately it is not that great [19:04] Kerbero: it could be because a new ubuntu version has been released and now everyone is downloading from the mirror [19:04] the mirrors take great strain right after a new release of a major distro [19:04] no, i mean lately as in the past few months [19:04] ah i see [19:05] i would like to know why i get exactly 40MBps from my local mirror though, not more, not less [19:05] and it's consistent [19:05] i wonder if they limit each tcp connection to 320mbps or something [19:06] from some other servers i get 95+ MBps [19:20] nn all [19:34] bye :p === Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za
