| magespawn | good and yourself? | 05:42 |
| mazal | Good thanx | 05:42 |
| magespawn | in-laws are coming down next week, and the fish go back with them, so i will have a bit of a break for december | 05:44 |
| mazal | Fish ? | 05:46 |
| magespawn | fish=kids | 05:46 |
| mazal | Ah ok | 05:46 |
| mazal | You gonna wonder what to do with all your time :) | 05:47 |
| magespawn | not for the first couple of days, maybe a week | 05:48 |
| superfly | magespawn: oh yeah... I know EXACTLY what to do with time without the kids.... SLEEP!!! | 05:53 |
| magespawn | indeed and watch movies without interuption | 05:54 |
| magespawn | and talk to my wife | 05:54 |
| Kilos | hi superfly magespawn | 05:54 |
| Kilos | and all others | 05:54 |
| magespawn | that is not inuendo for something else | 05:54 |
| magespawn | hey Kilos | 05:54 |
| superfly | magespawn: bwahahaha, I agree! | 05:55 |
| superfly | peace and quiet... oh golly, what I wouldn't do for a little bit of that | 05:55 |
| magespawn | we get it once a year since my wifes parents live in the NW | 05:56 |
| superfly | We don't get it since my parents don't babysit and my wife's parents live halfway across the world | 05:57 |
| magespawn | that is hectic, everyone needs a bit of a break | 05:58 |
| superfly | well, #2 is only 4 months old, so when he's older we'll have one of our friends whom we trust take them both for an evening while we enjoy a short break... go to the movies or something :-) | 05:59 |
| magespawn | wow 4 months already seems like it was yesterday | 06:00 |
| superfly | maybe for you... for us he's not so little any more. that boy has some serious fat on him. my word is he heavy! | 06:01 |
| magespawn | i can tell you one thing, from about 3 - 4 years old it does start to become easier | 06:01 |
| magespawn | hah babies are cool | 06:02 |
| superfly | when they're not teething | 06:06 |
| barrydk | Goeie more almal | 06:09 |
| superfly | morning barrydk | 06:09 |
| Kilos | hi barrydk | 06:09 |
| Kilos | eek | 06:20 |
| Kilos | For those of you who are going to use newish SAMSUNG HD204UI (2TB F4 EcoGreen 5400rpm) drives in a system, please be aware that you will probably need to patch the firmware on them. | 06:20 |
| Kilos | stupid thing makes bad blocks when other software tries to get in | 06:20 |
| magespawn | how did you find that out Kilos? | 06:23 |
| Kilos | by searching for samsung HD204UI repair tools | 06:25 |
| Kilos | http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/SamsungF4EGBadBlocks | 06:26 |
| magespawn | that is good to know | 06:27 |
| Kilos | hehe but finding the patch and doing it is another story | 06:28 |
| Kilos | hi zeref the hmmmer | 06:32 |
| Kilos | and the patch is in german | 06:46 |
| Kilos | hi jrgns | 06:46 |
| jrgns | morning Kilos | 06:47 |
| Kilos | and wont boot past initdisk | 06:56 |
| Kilos | grrr | 06:56 |
| magespawn | only in German Kilos? maybe time to learn a new language? | 06:57 |
| Kilos | lol | 06:58 |
| Kilos | if it could boot all the way in then goosie could help | 06:58 |
| Kilos | if i get the 2TB fixed im gonna try claim it for meeee | 07:00 |
| magespawn | can you use .rpm packages in ubuntu? | 07:00 |
| magespawn | lol | 07:00 |
| magespawn | nice Kilos | 07:00 |
| Kilos | hehe | 07:00 |
| magespawn | use it for other data recovery? | 07:00 |
| Kilos | other packages i convert with alien magespawn | 07:01 |
| Kilos | it was to try get the drive working | 07:01 |
| Kilos | so they have already replaced it | 07:01 |
| magespawn | what is alien Kilos? | 07:01 |
| Kilos | in repos. it converts rpm and nother one to .deb | 07:02 |
| Kilos | then no hassles installing | 07:02 |
| Kilos | why you ask about .rpm magespawn ? | 07:03 |
| magespawn | FixParts is in .rpm on sourceforge | 07:08 |
| Kilos | oh no i have the right one | 07:08 |
| magespawn | where did you get it? | 07:09 |
| Kilos | ill send it to you | 07:09 |
| superfly | I would recommend NOT messing with RPMs, because the system they were built on might differ to Ubuntu | 07:09 |
| Kilos | tiny thing | 07:09 |
| superfly | s/to/from/ | 07:09 |
| magespawn | okay | 07:09 |
| magespawn | i thought .rpm was for suse or redhat | 07:09 |
| Kilos | ya | 07:12 |
| Kilos | i think this one was converted by them too with alien | 07:12 |
| Kilos | its in your mail | 07:12 |

| === Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za | ||
| Kilos | hi Trixar_za | 10:24 |
| Trixar_za | Hey Kilos | 10:24 |
| Trixar_za | https://github.com/neutronscott/bash-irc/ <--- that is interesting | 10:26 |
| Kilos | i go see | 10:56 |
| Kilos | na man same as irssi | 10:56 |
| Kilos | xchat is my cuppa tea | 10:57 |
| Kilos | less thinking needed | 10:57 |
| Trixar_za | Yeah, but it's awesome because it was written completely in bash :P | 10:59 |
| Kilos | ok | 11:02 |
| Kilos | only bashing around here is my head | 11:02 |
| Trixar_za | It's the most popular cli shell and scripting language for Linux | 11:03 |
| charl_ | hi Kilos | 11:03 |
| Trixar_za | You're probably using it right now | 11:03 |
| charl_ | sorry just came out of a meeting | 11:03 |
| Trixar_za | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_%28Unix_shell%29 | 11:04 |
| Kilos | hi charl_ | 11:04 |
| charl_ | it's a cute side project, not something that most people would ever use | 11:08 |
| charl_ | but nice as a proof-of-concept | 11:08 |
| charl_ | here's an interesting question for you geeks | 11:08 |
| charl_ | what is your favourite (graphical - excluding emacs and vim in other words) code editor on *nix? | 11:09 |
| charl_ | currently i am using kdevelop (when i'm not just using vim that is) | 11:09 |
| Trixar_za | I tend to use geany myself | 11:12 |
| Trixar_za | and nano if I'm using a shell | 11:13 |
| Trixar_za | :P | 11:13 |
| Trixar_za | http://www.geany.org/ | 11:14 |
| Trixar_za | Best lightweight IDE there is that isn't bolted to any one Desktop Environment | 11:18 |
| Trixar_za | Although I hear people on KDE recommends using KATE | 11:18 |
| magespawn | gedit and nano for me | 12:04 |
| magespawn | Notepad++ on the other os | 12:04 |
| Trixar_za | Same | 12:05 |
| Trixar_za | Notepad++ rocks | 12:05 |
| Trixar_za | :P | 12:05 |
| magespawn | but not too fixated on any one really | 12:05 |
| Trixar_za | Only reason I switched away from gedit is because it's bolted into GNOME | 12:06 |
| Kilos | hi Henk_ | 12:19 |
| Henk_ | hi Kilos | 12:19 |
| Kilos | hi TheM4ch1n3 | 12:22 |
| === Henk_ is now known as henkj | ||
| superfly | kate is really awesome... and I just want that Python plugin for KDevelop to finally make it into KDevelop, or at least into the repos | 12:36 |
| mazal | Bye for now all | 12:45 |

| Kilos | hi N8Wulf | 13:58 |
| N8Wulf | Hi All | 13:58 |
| N8Wulf | hi Kilos | 13:58 |
| Kilos | first time here N8Wulf ? | 13:58 |
| Vince-0 | Ok see y'all laters | 13:59 |
| N8Wulf | finally December, can you believe it's the 1st chance I get this whole year to logon onto IRQ | 13:59 |
| Kilos | thats bad | 13:59 |
| N8Wulf | I've been on here quite a bit last year, helped a bit and learned a lot | 14:00 |
| Kilos | same nick? | 14:00 |
| Kilos | i forgot | 14:00 |
| N8Wulf | same Nick yes, been mine for about 12 years now | 14:00 |
| N8Wulf | but time... eish | 14:01 |
| Kilos | maybe i was sleepin | 14:01 |
| N8Wulf | nah... was able to help only here and there, did quite a bit before unity etc. old G2 and Compiz issues I assisted ppl with.. had similar troubles | 14:02 |
| Kilos | ah thats good. i just forget. i love G2 as you call it | 14:03 |
| Kilos | still run maverick on one pc | 14:03 |
| N8Wulf | me too, tried G3, missed my Cube and wobblies, then tried Unity, mix this and then, messed it up after I couldn't do updates for about a month | 14:04 |
| N8Wulf | my G3 was so confused I ended up installing Unity yesterday | 14:05 |
| Kilos | oh i actually am getting used to unity and kde as well | 14:05 |
| N8Wulf | could get my G3 to work in No Effects mode only | 14:05 |
| N8Wulf | kde... pretty but resource hungry | 14:06 |
| Kilos | not worse than unity | 14:06 |
| Kilos | or close anyway | 14:06 |
| N8Wulf | suppose... cant wait for touch screen prices to drop so I can have proper use of Unity | 14:08 |
| N8Wulf | I'm a big fan of all things Android | 14:09 |
| N8Wulf | so Unity reminds me of this | 14:09 |
| Kilos | hehe | 14:12 |
| Kilos | hey we having our monthly meeting on the 17th and the 18th is our reapproval thing. try be here if you can | 14:13 |

| N8Wulf | RTFM | 14:17 |
| N8Wulf | nevermind | 14:17 |
| N8Wulf | "More non-geeky users at events" | 14:19 |
| N8Wulf | I think I need to go to an event and take my wife with... she is a Disciple of Ubuntu any and every day | 14:19 |
| Kilos | great | 14:20 |
| Kilos | ya the loco has to be reapproved every 2 years | 14:20 |

| zeref | hmmmmm | 14:46 |
| zeref | any ubuntu shops in SA? specifically jhb | 14:46 |
| tumbleweed | no | 14:47 |
| Symmetria | haha, I was like, ok, wtf is my postgres so damn slow | 14:53 |
| Symmetria | then I changed its shared memory settings and its buffer settings and linux's default shared memory settings | 14:53 |
| Symmetria | god that made a huge difference | 14:53 |
| Symmetria | and my poor harddrives are thrashing constantly | 14:53 |
| N8Wulf | nevermind | 15:00 |
| N8Wulf | I'm off... time for some Series | 15:04 |
| henkj | Kilos you want me to be her on the 17th? | 15:14 |
| Symmetria | hrm | 15:14 |
| Symmetria | anyone got any other ways to optimize postgres | 15:14 |
| Symmetria | basically, when this application starts, the first thing it does is execute approx. half a million db queries | 15:14 |
| Symmetria | (and infact, at the moment because of the number of data feeds I've got coming into, thats actually almost 2 million queries (half a million per feed) | 15:15 |
| Symmetria | meaning every restart takes 30+ minutes | 15:15 |
| Kilos | please henkj | 15:18 |
| henkj | Kilos I will try, could be difficult that day | 15:18 |
| Kilos | and the 18 at 8pm | 15:19 |

| henkj | of course | 15:21 |
| Kilos | ty | 15:21 |
| henkj | so what happens during the re-approval thing? | 15:22 |
| tumbleweed | henkj: I suggest looking at logs of previous re-approval meetings | 15:22 |
| Kilos | we have to show that we have been active | 15:22 |
| Kilos | then they vote i think | 15:22 |
| Kilos | ty tumbleweed | 15:23 |
| tumbleweed | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/TeamApprovalGuidelines | 15:23 |
| tumbleweed | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Minutes | 15:23 |
| henkj | tumbleweed all the 2011 links are broken | 15:27 |
| Symmetria | hrm, got postgres up to running 1500 transactions a second on an ubuntu box with 8gigs of ram and an I5 cpu | 15:27 |
| inetpro | Kilos: I'm here but not for long | 15:45 |

| Kilos | hey magespawn . me looking at ddrescue now | 16:47 |
| Kilos | scared of them dd things | 16:47 |
| Kilos | the fly frightened me | 16:47 |
| magespawn | only cli that, no gui if i recall correctly | 16:47 |
| magespawn | just need to be careful | 16:47 |
| magtie | Hi Kilos | 16:48 |
| magtie | Hi Everyone | 16:48 |
| Kilos | lol hiya magtie | 16:48 |
| magespawn | hey magtie | 16:50 |
| Kilos | i typed in ddrescue -i30GiB -s10GiB /dev/sdb hdimage logfile and it told me its not installed and apt-get install gddrescue | 16:50 |
| Kilos | but i dunno what to do with logfile | 16:51 |
| magespawn | okay not sure about the commads | 16:51 |
| magespawn | is that not the file that you try to recover the data from | 16:51 |
| Kilos | i dunno | 16:51 |
| Kilos | and must i make one or tell it where it must go or what | 16:52 |
| Kilos | whew | 16:52 |
| Kilos | maybe it makes its own logfile | 16:52 |
| Kilos | hehe | 16:53 |
| Kilos | hopefully | 16:53 |
| magespawn | i thought ddrescue you specified the file that it comes from, and then goes to | 16:53 |
| magespawn | let me go look | 16:53 |
| magespawn | brb | 16:53 |
| Kilos | i got the ddrescue manual so got tons of reading | 16:53 |
| magespawn | according to the website the logfile is the recovered data that you can work on, the recovered data in other words | 16:57 |
| Kilos | and it makes it automatically? | 16:57 |
| Kilos | i gotta go eat | 16:59 |
| Kilos | wbb | 16:59 |
| Kilos | relax magespawn ill read through the manual and come back for help with the serious command | 16:59 |
| magespawn | cool but is also good reading for me too | 17:00 |
| magespawn | later | 17:02 |
| Kilos | trying sudo ddrescue -i0 -s50MiB /dev/sdb hdimage logfile | 17:39 |
| Kilos | i get i/o errors when trying anything with this drive so maybe that will fix it | 17:39 |
| Kilos | says its splitting failed blocks | 17:40 |
| Kilos | got no space here to rescue the whole drive | 17:40 |
| Kilos | 12 into one dont go | 17:41 |
| magespawn | need more storage | 17:44 |
| Kilos | lol | 17:44 |
| Kilos | can never fit it in here | 17:45 |
| magespawn | I am writing a article for the local paper | 17:45 |
| Kilos | maybe the i/o commands will fix it | 17:45 |
| magespawn | i think it can do compression too | 17:45 |
| Kilos | samsung made a booboo with these drives | 17:45 |
| Kilos | later ones have the firmware patch added | 17:45 |
| magespawn | ahh well that happens | 17:46 |
| Kilos | every time i tried to install ubuntu it just marked another i/o sector as bad | 17:46 |
| magespawn | does sound a bit od | 17:48 |
| Kilos | in the disk utility it shows lots green blogs but by i/o serious red Imminent failure | 17:48 |
| magespawn | odd | 17:48 |
| Kilos | and till i can install something on it i cant do the firmware upgrade | 17:48 |
| Kilos | grrr | 17:48 |
| Kilos | and ddrescue manual warns you if you stop it it hides the stuff | 17:52 |
| Kilos | eeek | 17:52 |
| Kilos | power please stay on | 17:52 |
| Kilos | yo superfly inetpro | 17:53 |
