superflyAll mimsey were the borogroves, and the mome raths outgrabe.07:02

Kiloshehe07:03
Jabberwocky_good morning Kilos :)07:03
magespawnhey Jabberwocky_07:04
magespawnsuperfly is that from memory?07:04
superflyHe took his vorpel sword in hand, long time the manksome foe he sought. So rested he by the tum-tum tree, and stood a while in thought.07:06
superflyAnd as in uffish thought he stood, the Jabberwock with eyes of flame came whiffling through the tulgey woods, and burbled as it came.07:06
superflyOne, two! One, two! And through and through, the vorpel blade went snicker-snack. He left it dead, and with its head, he went galumphing back.07:07
superflyAnd hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! Oh frabjous day! Callooh, callay! He chortled in his joy.07:09
superfly'Twas brillig, and the slithey toves did gire and gimble in the wabe. All mimsey were the borogroves, and the mome raths outgrabe.07:09
superflymagespawn: yes.07:09
Kiloswow07:09

ThatGraemeGuyKilos, before you do that07:23
Kilosyes?07:23
ThatGraemeGuytake a look at ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and see if vlc is listed there07:24

ThatGraemeGuyinode/directory=mmc.desktop;vlc.desktop;07:31
ThatGraemeGuydelete that line07:31
Kilosok ty07:31
ThatGraemeGuyit should just work once you save the change, i don't think you'll need to log out and back in again07:32
Kiloshow did that get there to cause the prob?07:34
Kilosyay ty ThatGraemeGuy i can open home properly again07:35
ThatGraemeGuythat i don't know, it hasn't happened to me frequently enough to determine what causes it07:35
Kilosvery frustrating07:36
Kiloswas ready for a clean install07:36
ThatGraemeGuythat's almost never necessary :)07:36
Kilosthats what the guys all tell me , but i dont like bugging you all for help all the time07:37

Kilosohi not_found09:04
Kilostoods neelsie09:04
not_foundlol09:06
not_foundstill me09:06
not_foundbut different09:06
Kiloshi Squirm09:06
Kilosya now lost09:06
charlwow, downloaded ubuntu over ipv6 at close to 1000mBps09:11
charlnot bad, just under 8 seconds09:12
Kiloswow09:14
charlmake that 100mBps excuse me, one too many zeroes09:15
charli wish the world would just upgrade to ipv6, it's extremely fast and well optimised for high bandwidth connections09:16
charlipv4 is a dinosaur that needs to die09:16
charlalong with nat routing :)09:16
Kilosno man we cant all use ipv609:17
Kiloseven gprs is better than no connection and thats like 8 mB/s09:18
charlgprs? 8mBps? that's 8*8=64mbps09:19
charlthat's not a bad connection, but i thought gprs was uber slow?\09:19
Kilosit is09:19
Kilosi got something wrong09:19
Kilos8 kB/s09:19
Kiloshehe09:19
Kilosand drops to 2 sometimes09:20
charlah 64kbps09:21
charlyeah that's pretty slow09:21
Kiloscant get mail and run irc and pidgin same time09:22
Kilosmail gotta qwait09:22
charlit's confusing because connection speed is usually measured in bits and data in bytes09:22
charlso when you download a file, you don't get the connection speed, you get the actual transfer rate of the data, measured in bytes09:22
charlbut then when you talk about connection speed again, you have to calculate it back into bits, and then take protocol overhead into account09:23
Kilossuffice to say grprs is very slow09:23
charlalthough i think protocol overhead is minimal these days, especially with ipv609:23
tonberry352_and connections speeds are often in 1000ds while actual file sizes are in 1024s09:23
charli think connection speeds usually do get measured in powers of 209:24
tonberry352_could just be the crazies in the computer science department here09:24
charlhttp://www.google.nl/search?q=1kbps+to+bps09:25
charlbut it gets confusing because: http://www.google.nl/search?q=1mbps+to+kbps09:25
tonberry352_guess i better make sure09:25
charltherefore: http://www.google.nl/search?q=1mbps+to+bps09:25
charlit's the same as: http://www.google.nl/search?q=1024*102409:26
charlthere is another weird thing09:28
charlstorage device manufacturers (hard drives, solid state drives, flash drives, etc) measure 1kB as 1000B09:28
charlwhile the rest of the world measure 1kB as 1024B https://www.google.nl/search?q=1+kilobyte+to+bytes09:29
charlso when you take a look at, for example, df -u, you don't see a terabyte hard drive as 1T but as 917G09:30
charlit's called "confusing the sh*t out of people" :)09:30
charlhere's another cool one: http://www.google.nl/search?q=1Bps+to+bps so http://www.google.nl/search?q=1kBps+to+bps09:33
charlit's simple, it's 1024*8 (first kilobits -> bits and then tims 8)09:34
charl*times09:34
charlhahaha i just read through what i said above and then they wonder why computer science is only for people with spectrum autism :)09:39
tonberry352_sane people do not dare to tread in this realm09:42
Kilosi go see if bootsplash begone09:48
Kilosai!09:53

Kiloswhite squares printing across black window12:56
charlwow ok13:01
charlwell something changed so what you did you did right13:02
charlbut there seems to be general chaos between linux and your graphics card13:02
charlwhat exactly were you looking for? most things you should be able to find back in your syslog13:02
Kilostrying this now 13:03
Kiloshttp://www.schmut.com/howto/turn-off-the-boot-splash-screen13:03
Kilosi need to see the boot text so if fsck is running i can do f for fix etc13:04
Kiloswbb13:05

Kilosyay13:08
Kilosty13:08
charlit works?13:08
Kiloslotsa text13:08
Kilosvery lekker now ty13:08
charlah interesting, you had to do the first thing and in addition add this? GRUB_TERMINAL=console13:09
Kiloshave to uncomment that other line too13:09
Kilosya13:09
charli will do it as well13:10
charlthanks!13:10
Kilosty13:12
charlwhile you were away i was reading this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=4992513:13
charli was also taking a look at my /var/log/boot.log13:13
Kiloswhat they say?13:14
charlapparently there is a BOOTLOGD13:14
ThatGraemeGuyanyone know why "select-to-copy / middle-click-to-paste" would suddenly stop working? :-/13:14
charlyou can enable it in /etc/default/bootlogd13:14
charlthen your /var/log/boot will be filled when you reboot13:15
Kilosouch ThatGraemeGuy13:17
Kilosafter updating or sommer just stopped working13:17
ThatGraemeGuyits not even consistent, i need to spend some time and figure out exactly where its not working13:17
ThatGraemeGuyworks in chrome, not in skype13:18
Kilosah13:18
ThatGraemeGuysometimes seems to work in terminal13:18
ThatGraemeGuybut not using multissh13:18
ThatGraemeGuyurgghh!13:18
Kiloscharl: that bootlogd is so you can read what happens hey13:19
superflyThatGraemeGuy: can you pin it down to a particular application or group of applications?13:19
ThatGraemeGuywill have to try and do that, just a bit busy at the moment13:20
charlKilos: yeah of course, but i thought that is what you wanted to do?13:35
charlor did you want the splash screen gone for some other reason?13:35
Kilosno charl i need any boot screen where i can see if fsck needs to fix errors or so13:36
Kiloseven a graphics boot that i can see not just stripes13:36
charlah i see, ok13:37
Kiloscouldnt read any text 13:37
Kiloshehe13:37
Kilosbut only since i using this pci graphics card13:37
charlfor me, i hate all this extra nonsense that abstracts what's going on13:38
charlit's part of "prettifying" linux up to make it acceptable to the masses :)13:38
charlby alianating people like us that have always used linux, takes me days just to strip all the crap out13:38
charlbut the end lusers they feel "intimidated" by all the text right? ;)13:38
Kilosyeah like most shrink when you mention cli13:39
Kilosor command prompt13:39
Kilosno thats for specialists use only13:40
charlhahaha :D13:45

Vince-0I got an OpenWeb ADSL account! Busy comparing to MWeb, FNBconnect15:19
Kiloscompairing price wise or speed wise15:23
Kilosor stability wise15:23
Vince-0Stability should have little to do with the DSL provider - it's almost always the last mile (copper). Except now SEACOM/eazi is broken although recovering15:24
Vince-0Pricing differs greatly so that is an easy choice: OpenWeb15:25
Vince-0FNBConnect is prepaid and R75/3GB or something stupid15:25
Vince-0MWeb from where I live has been 100% perfect. 4 Telkom problems in the past year15:26
Vince-0Some speedtest.net results between and some game experience: GuildWars2(EU),BattleField3(ZA), Diablo3(EU)15:27
Vince-0hey Kilos, do you have an adsl service? I might have an extra DSL account?15:27
Kilosnope 3g only here ty Vince-015:28
Vince-0aw, my parents are also out in the "wilderness". copper theft15:28
Kiloson a plot where fone lines were stolen so often telkom gave up replacing them15:29
Kilosyeh it sucks hey15:29
Vince-0my parents can't get 8ta, not even a reliable Vodacom signal15:29
Kiloshave they queried directly from he providers on what the chances are of upgrading in the area15:31
cocooncrashinetpro, Squirm-, nuvolari_, magespawn: Thanks for the birthday wishes15:31
Kiloshow many peeps are in the area15:31
Kilosaw sorry cocooncrash i didnt know. hope you had a good one15:31
Vince-0not more than 30, not many who care for broadband.15:31
Kilosthe swines didnt tell me15:32
Kiloswhere are they Vince-0?15:32
Vince-050km south of Durban. A place called green point15:33
Kilosif there is a mtn tower not too far telkom puts their equipment on the same tower15:33
Vince-0aah, I must check that out. 3G is expensive for skype15:33
Kiloswow never heard of it15:33
Vince-0in the sticks15:34
Kilosscotburgh hiberdene then i forget15:34
Kilosinland?15:34
Kilosya skype and 3g aint very user friendly15:35
KilosVince-0: where are you?15:37
Vince-0I'm in Umhlanga, not far from where the Seacom cable lands15:38

inetprothe issues differ16:39
inetproyour issue was different to the one the guy had who posted in the forum16:40
