Kiloshehe10:30
trender105.225.161.189:809010:30
magespawnthat looks like a private network link10:30
trendersure it is10:30
trenderadmin:squareone ok10:31
trendertry not to toast it10:31
Kilosis it http then that long number?10:31
trenderbut its a fine exibit10:31
magespawnyou okay with people have a look on your private net?10:31
trenderhttp://105.225.161.189:809010:31
trenderyea off course10:32
trenderyou see what it looks like ?10:32
trenderyou can log in with admin:squareone10:33
trenderthats the admin config page10:33
trenderthe telent is also open10:33
trenderits missing the hard disk image files10:34
trenderso i need to rebuild these up10:34
trendermake my own image packs10:34
Kilosaw i cant get past the first page10:34
trenderyou can log in with admin:squareone10:35
magespawnuser admin password squareone10:36
trenderits an all in one linux server lunchbox10:36
trendercorrect yes10:36
magespawnlooks cool10:36
trenderim interested what you guys make of it10:37
trenderits just a brick at present10:37
magespawnuse? internet proxy/server?10:37
trenderwith a 70gb hard drive in right now10:37
trendererm i dont know if you can use a proxy with it10:38
trenderyou likely can yea10:38
trendertry not to reformat the hard disk :P10:38
magespawnnah10:39
* Squirm looks around10:39
trenderobviously you guys can do anything you like to it tho10:39
trenderincluding reboot it and such10:39
trenderat the core it has an arm41 processor10:39
magespawndo you need a adsl modem to get it on line?10:40
trenderrunning what apprears to be an embedded linux OS10:40
trenderyes its connected to my adsl router10:40
trenderat present10:40
trenderive just done the network stuff to get it online10:41
trenderthe poking inside the box is done via telnet10:41
magespawni see that it will do it its own routing as, so you only need a adsl modem10:42
trenderyou are correct yes10:42
trenderit has 4 ports for routing10:42
trenderi dont need those though my router already does that10:42
trenderou can drop any linux package on the box via the admin interface "install hdd image"10:43
trenderyou = ou10:43
trenderbut i think you need to go in via telnet to ./configure packages10:44
trenderoff course i know nothing about linux10:45
trenderjust have interogated this relic for 2 days10:45
trenderpoked around and such10:45
trenderi would very much like to get the NAS working10:46
trenderlike install samba and apache10:46
magespawnlookd like a great little box10:46
magespawnwhat is the physical size?10:46
trenderbut i dont really know how to install software on this box10:46
trenderlunch box size10:46
trenderits only bix enuf to install the hard disk inside10:48
Kilos70g or 80g10:48
magespawnthis page shows all the services that are currently running10:48
magespawnhttp://105.225.161.189:8090/server/sstart10:48
trendercorrect10:49
trenderideally i would like it to run NAS and web services10:49
magespawnlooks like if you want to extend the functionality you have install and os in=mage to the drive10:49
magespawnyou know telnet is not secure10:49
magespawn?10:49
trenderyes i need some image10:49
trenderyes my telnet is open10:49
trenderim open for suggestions to get this box working10:50
magespawnis there a hard drive in it now?10:51
Kilosget an ubuntu iso and install it10:51
trender70gb hard drive in it now yes10:51
trenderi wont know how to install ubuntu on this box10:52
Kilosi didnt know they made 70gB drives10:52
magespawnit looks like you need to image an active hard drive that has the install as you want it then upload it to the box10:52
Kilosno dvdrom or nothing10:52
trenderit has no bootable devices10:53
Kiloscant you plugin an external dvdrom10:53
magespawnmaybe wait till one of the smart guys put their head in10:53
trenderok brb ok need to get the door10:53
trenderyes i have nothing but time10:53
trenderthis is just a hobbie10:53
Kilosnice10:54
Kilosretired millionaire?10:54
Kiloshehe10:54
trendererm something like that10:54
trenderbrb10:54
Kilosdoes it do everything online magespawn ?10:55
magespawnthrough a web browser, and telnet10:55
Kiloshi simeon 10:55
magespawnthe is a pdf manual here http://is.gd/er7W2710:55
magespawnand the amazon pictures here http://is.gd/quYcc310:57
magespawntrender: do you have the wired only version?10:59
Kilosit says wireless too and pppoe11:01
magespawnto get ubuntu running on that you would need the arm version not the standard iso11:02
magespawnthere are two Kilos one with wireless11:03
Kilosah11:03
magespawnhttp://www.ubuntu.com/download/arm here is the download page11:05
Kilosi wonder if the wireless one will do 3g11:05
magespawnthe wireless is for wireless lan or WiFi11:07
magespawnhere is the link for the arm install instructions https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Server/Install11:07
magespawnif trender sets this up http://105.225.161.189:8090/dyndns then you can access it from anyware all the time11:09
magespawnlooks like a nice little server that11:11
Kiloshi Georgl 11:11
Georglhi Kilos11:11
Kilosyeah it does magespawn 11:12
Kilosaybe with tweaking the wireless one will do 3g11:12
Kilosor with a buntu install11:12
magespawnyou might be able to run it through one of the usb ports on the back11:13
Kilosi actually saw a command on how to connect a server to 3g other day but dont ask me where anymore11:13
Kilosyeah with usb it might work11:13
magespawninstall the ubuntu arm and then use sakis3g to connect, the square one could then handle the routing for the network and teh dyndns would still work too11:14
magespawns/teh/the11:14
Kilosi dunno whats an ubuntu arm11:15
Kilossuperfly: did you look at this thing?11:17
magespawnKilos arm is a type of processor like intel pentium11:24
Kilosah11:24
Kilosty11:24
magespawnthat version of ubuntu is made for that type of processor11:24
Kilosand they use a different version of ubuntu11:24
Kilosoic11:24
magespawndifferent types of processor do things differently so the software has to be cutomised for it11:25
magespawnno changes to the interface AFAIK all under the bonnet11:26
Kiloslekker small server though11:26
superflyKilos: at what?11:27
Kiloswhew lotsa scroll back superfly 11:28
magespawnhttp://105.225.161.189:809011:28

trenderyea yea11:37
magespawncool keep us posted11:37
trenderwill do so11:37
ThatGraemeGuywould it cost less than a raspberry pi?11:37
magespawnmost linux peeps will install their own software11:37
trenderwhat a rasberry pic costing now ?11:38
trenderpi11:38
Kilosyeah you might wanna sell some without going to the trouble first11:38
magespawn$3511:38

trenderno this box im the olnt importer for these products at repsent11:38
trenderonly11:39
magespawnyes but you buy almost everything seperate11:39
magespawnwas talking about the pi11:39
Kilosso what do they cost?11:39
ThatGraemeGuyraspberry pi can do almost anything, it was designed to be a learning platform11:40
trenderah yes ive heard about rasberry pi11:40

magespawnhttp://www.pifactory.co.za/ 11:45
tumbleweedthere aren't many ARM boards with SATA, but they are available11:45

trenderi will order some fro the students 11:49
trenderfor11:49
Georgltrender: are all of your squareone devices you have in need of intalling/reloading the firmware?12:00
trendererm12:01
trenderthe firmware is not really available12:01
trenderitian are not responding12:01
Georglok12:01
trenderits mostly in need of the hard drive image = software packages12:01
trenderlike samba and apache12:02
trenderi dont know if i need to install a real linux OS per se12:02
Georglmay i look around and change some settings?12:02

magespawnhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release/12:08
magespawnon your system here http://105.225.161.189:8090/system/conf_setting12:08
trenderinteresting12:09
trenderthat part kinda boggles me for now12:09
magespawnnot sure which one it would be though12:09
trenderyou and me both :)12:10
trenderthis is a new experience for me12:10
magespawnhere is some more info 12:11
magespawnthere are three different ones, the first two are about 498MB each are img.gz, so probable need to be extracted first before you use them12:14
magespawnnot too sure so confirm it first12:14
trenderthe box automatically does the extractions12:16
trenderi dont controll that process at all12:16
trenderi just point to tar.gz images12:16
trenderthe person who comes up with the most creative way of "fixing" this squareone box can have a free box12:21
trenderits just a nice playtoy at present :)12:23
Kilostrender: do you teach? i see you say students12:26

trenderyea yea this is a good place to start i think12:45
Kilosya but half or more of your time is used up sukkeling with winstinks12:45
trenderthe ##linux channel is to hectic12:45
trenderi prefer a smaller crowd12:45
Kilosyeah this is the most friendly helpful channel of them all12:45

magespawnyou moving to cape town for work?14:20
magespawni liked it14:20
HawkiesZAhaha. Already here.14:21
magespawnsound was very good14:21
HawkiesZAAnd content? :P14:21
magespawnthat does not vary in quality much, if at all14:21
HawkiesZAheh. So either decent or you're a sucker for punishment14:24
HawkiesZAI'll take it as a good thing14:24
HawkiesZA:D14:24
magespawni am also married (11 years) with two kids, so maybe the second one is more accurate14:25
Kiloshi fender14:26
Kilossjoe fender and trender14:27
Kiloswelcome to ubuntu-za14:27
fenderarg ya14:27
Kilosi go get sheep14:27
fenderneed to kill the spook14:27
fenderok kilos take it easy mate14:27
fenderhad a windows moment :P14:28
fenderah gees now wonder14:29
fenderno wonder14:29
fenderthe linux people are telling me windos has exploits lol14:30
=== fender is now known as trender
magespawnHawkiesZA: but yes content is good14:30
trenderok gosh im back14:31
trenderso its hack the new guy time hehe14:31
magespawnhow so ?14:31
trenderi see this network makes you very vulnerable14:32
magespawnyou mean your squareone?14:32
HawkiesZAmagespawn, kewl. Well, if you have comments/feedback/nerdrage, feel free to let 'em know. If it's the first two, I'll be happy to pass on the message14:32
trenderno no even my laptop here14:32
trenderyer ip is very exposed on this network14:32
trendernice in some ways not in others14:33
magespawnwhen you connect to irc it shows your external ip address unless you get a cloak14:33
trenderyes i figured that out now :)14:33
trenderi was just knocked offline a sec ago14:34
magespawnyou  mean from the channel or in general?14:34
trendermoral of the story dont use windoze in a lunux channel lol14:34
trenderno no in general14:34
Kilosnope , morale is dont use windows anywhere14:35
magespawnwonder what happened?14:35
trendergeneral DOS14:35
trenderor something tamer14:35
trendernot an issue really :)14:35
magespawnthere are a few of use here who use windows fro various reasons14:35
trenderyea yea14:36
trenderbut this kind of network tends to invite the port scanner kiddies and exploiters14:36
trenderokes with to much time and not enough clue :)14:37
trenderthats so 20yrs ago IMO14:37
trenderthe new networks cloak yer ip automatically14:37
trenderwell some do some dont14:38
magespawnindeed, not sure about the reasoning behind the non automatic cloaking14:39
trenderyea something to do with file sharing14:40
trenderdcc services i guess14:40
trenderits better to be exposed in some ways i guess if you know what yer doing14:41
trenderbut this laptop is a bit of a flake14:41
* trender yawns14:47
trenderlinux makes me tired just thinking about it14:48
trenderits a big step14:48
magespawntrender: there is lots of info online via google, and peeps here know a lot 14:51
magespawnlater all home time14:52
trenderok cool mate14:53
trenderi will stick around and soak up the possiblities14:53
Kilostrender: its easier than you think14:53
Kiloslater mage14:53
trenderits just the first tep mate14:53
Kilosgrrr14:53
Kilosmagespawn: 14:53
Kiloslol14:53
trenderfirst step is the hardest14:53
Kilosyou going about it the hard way thats why14:54
trenderhehe14:54
trenderyea mabee14:54
trenderi will get the idea eventually14:55
trenderits just a foreign concept at present14:55
trenderhow them sheep mate....baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad ??14:56
trendersorry i had to do that :)14:57
trenderi cant imagine looking after sheep14:57
trenderi would love a farm though14:57

trenderbut not for annimals14:58
Kiloshehe15:00
Kilosthey fine today, came half way home on their own15:00

Kilostiring15:03
Kilosother wise they go further15:03
trender:)15:05
trenderi try not to eat anything with a heartbeat15:05
Kilosyou are supposed to shorten them some first15:05
Kilosthen no heartbeat15:05
trendermeat causes cancer and diseases15:06
Kiloseish i forgot to announce tonights meet till now on the lists15:06
trendervegetable reverse diseases15:06
trenderthe former is not acceptable to me15:07
Kilostrender: if you are gonna get the guts to install ubuntu then you must join our mailing list15:07
Kiloshttp://bit.ly/MCOujZ15:07
trenderive got the guts allright15:07
trenderjust working on some many projects right now15:08
trenderneed to focus on the money taps mostly15:08
trenderi have an extravagant wife :(15:08
Kilosbut you may join now anyway15:08
Kilosmaybe some of the list guys will look into your toy as well15:09
Kiloslol15:09
trenderyea yea im sure they will15:09
trendersome oke will end up getting one for free15:09
trenderi dont mind giving a few boxes away15:09
Kiloswhat do them things cost anyway15:10
trenderi know people will like to play with it15:10
trenderwhen it was released about 5k i think15:10
Kiloswhew15:10
trenderbut thats 7 years back15:10
Kilosas bad as modern cell fones15:10
trenderi suppose its really what you make of it15:10
trendersuppose you use it to the max it adds value15:11
Kilosand space15:11
trenderbut if you just need a print server mabee it wont make sence15:11
Kilosthe fly uses a P2 as his server15:11
trenderi had some guy give me R5k for 1 unit without question15:12
trenderbbut i have no idea what hes gonna use it for15:12
trenderin fact he wanted to pay 12k15:12
trenderi told him it wasnt ready15:12
trenderguess some okes know what they want15:13
trenderpersonally i dont know what these can do as yet15:13
trenderits just a smart looking brick to me15:14
Kiloswhew15:14
Kiloswb maiatoday 15:14
trenderhe just wanted a NAS box15:14
Kilosdont forget tonights meeting15:14
trenderi didnt even know what NAS box was :P15:14
Kilosi still dont15:15
trenderjust knew thes where cool toys to have15:15
Kiloslol15:15
trenderimported 140kg of these machines15:15
maiatodayKilos, I have a regular class on mondays from 7:15 to 8:30, I tried to wiggle out of it but I can't. The class used to be on a Tuesday but they moved it15:15
trendertook 31 days to get here15:15
Kilosoh my maiatoday and whos gonna give info on your agenda item15:15
trender2 months if you inclde tha blerry logistics15:16
trenderpaid what amounts to R200/unit for the squareone servers15:17
trenderor 20k for this batch15:17
Kilosah thats not too bad15:17
trendernah its ok15:17
trenderthe logistics cost more then the items15:17
trenderas it often does15:18
trenderthese boxes only cost R50/unit i guess15:19
trenderi cleared them out15:19
trendernow they just got the second generation boxes left15:19
trenderthose have wifi15:20
trenderand usb15:20
trenderetc etc15:20
Kilosah15:20
Kilosyou shoulda takem them rather15:20
Kilosmind you for peeps with adsl its ok15:20
trenderah yes but those would have been hectically expensive15:20
Kilosah15:21
Kilosmaybe its possible to upgrade15:21
trendererm not sure really15:21
trenderperhaps you can15:21
Kilosadd on bits and pieces15:21
trenderbut the hardware is different15:21
trenderyes you are right15:21
trenderthe sata interface is a start15:21
Kiloslike a usb hub and so on15:22
trendererm yes15:22
trenderim gonna look into mods15:22
Kilosevrything has usb today15:22
trenderi was offered 100k for this batch15:22
trenderbut i declined15:23
trendermabee a stupid move i shall wait and see15:23
trendersometimes you take the cash and run15:23
trenderother times you leverage the tech15:24
Kiloslol15:24
trenderfor instance this bow with a webserver and installed website may add value15:24
trenderbox15:24
trenderi have okes who want to take this to the next level15:25
trenderim just in no hurry to roll out a bad egg15:25
trenderi rather try to figure this out slowly15:25
trenderwebserver plus fileserver nas would be cool15:27
trenderi dont know yet how big a hard disk its gonna support yet15:28
trenderso i havnt been out shopping yet15:28
trenderand i need 100 drives as well15:28
trenderso thats gonna hurt15:28
Kilosouch and ide no longer made here15:29
Kilosmaybe china will havw still15:29
trenderwell im gonna convert to sata15:29
trenderyes china still has stock15:29
trenderbut i rather go to sata if i can make that reliable15:30
trenderide technically is more stable15:30
Kilosthat adapter works well15:30
trenderi hope so mate15:30
Kiloseven a pc dont know the diffs15:30
trenderive used one before15:30
trenderbut the adapter fell off the sata drive and it was toasted15:31
trenderserial bus is a funny annimal15:31
Kilosoh the one ive seen has a cable from the ide plug to the sata plug so its flexible15:32
trenderya i think some work both ways even15:32
trendersata>>ide and ide>>sata15:33
Kilosive got one of those but it then plugs into a usb port15:33
trenderbut from what ive heard the techiese dont like those adapters15:33
trenderah thats neat man15:33
trendermakes a usb drive minus enclosure15:34
Kilosyip15:34
trendervery usefull15:34
trenderthe rasberry Pi looks interesting as well15:36
trenderive been looking at this for a long time now15:36
Kilosthe guys love them15:37
trenderyea the gpio make them very versatile15:38
Kilosgpio?15:38
trendergeneral purpose io ports15:38
Kilosah15:38
trenderthe ports that are exposed to the real world15:38
trenderlike for displays and keybords etc15:39
trenderrasberry pi can do some hectic stuff with ease15:40
trendera devellopers toy of course15:40
trendergreat for students15:40
trendernicely priced15:40
trenderbut im not gonna make a burglar alarm on it lol15:41
Kiloslol15:42

Kiloslol told you18:39
nuvolariinetpro: I'm sure it's quicker to type than navigating a mouse18:39

nuvolari:P18:39
kbmonkeylol18:39
* inetpro forgot that he might be using cli only18:39
