| Kilos | hi henkj | 06:50 |
| henkj | hi kilos | 06:50 |
| inetpro | good mornings | 07:03 |
| Kilos | morning inetpro | 07:16 |
| Kilos | hi Vince-0 zeref | 08:22 |
| Vince-0 | Hi Kilos, Tinuva | 08:22 |
| Vince-0 | busy trolling #linux on ShadowFire | 08:23 |
| skillpiG | Ohai | 08:25 |
| Vince-0 | I would like to get all the Linux type peeps in one place - there is no "master" mail-list for Linux in ZA is there? | 08:25 |
| * skillpiG pokes Tinuva | 08:25 | |
| Vince-0 | hi skillpiG | 08:25 |
| Vince-0 | Kilos, look!Found more people | 08:26 |
| skillpiG | I will make you regret that | 08:26 |
| skillpiG | :p | 08:26 |
| Kilos | ohi Tinuva welcome to ubuntu-za | 08:26 |
| skillpiG | I have a natural effect on people | 08:26 |
| skillpiG | more like, digital. | 08:26 |
| Kilos | hi skillpiG welcome to ubuntu-za | 08:27 |
| Vince-0 | skillpiG, tell your friends - we need to grow the ZA Linux community | 08:27 |
| Kilos | tell us about yourselvews | 08:27 |
| Kilos | yourselves as well | 08:28 |
| Kilos | yes Vince-0 | 08:28 |
| skillpiG | I have no friends | 08:28 |
| Kilos | http://bit.ly/MCOujZ | 08:28 |
| skillpiG | don't even know why Tinuva is talking to me | 08:28 |
| Kilos | thats the mailing list | 08:29 |
| Vince-0 | Kilos, I'm on the ubuntu-za list but can it be called the go to place for Linux for ZA | 08:30 |
| Kilos | lol | 08:30 |
| Kilos | if they dont push ubuntu to one side i dont see why not | 08:31 |
| Kilos | inetpro: what you think? | 08:31 |
| Kilos | everyone linux is welcome here so i dont see that the list should not be a part of the US | 08:32 |
| Kilos | often linux peeps can help ubuntu users | 08:32 |
| Vince-0 | yep | 08:33 |
| Kilos | lets just hear what the pro and fly say but i feel they are welcome | 08:34 |
| Kilos | but then they must say morning to me when i greet inna morn | 08:34 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:35 |
| Vince-0 | ha | 08:35 |
| Kilos | are they from your lug Vince-0 | 08:35 |
| Kilos | ? | 08:35 |
| skillpiG | good day Kilos | 08:36 |
| Vince-0 | Kilos, nope - just joined #linux on ShadowFire and started rambling | 08:39 |
| skillpiG | made 7 people upset | 08:39 |
| tonberryE352 | try to ignite a vim/emacs flamewar | 08:39 |
| skillpiG | this will start an epic e-battle | 08:39 |
| skillpiG | SHADOWFIRE vs FREENODE | 08:39 |
| Vince-0 | freenode wins, | 08:40 |
| Vince-0 | for a global context anyways | 08:41 |
| Kilos | but no wars here, we are a peaceful channel | 08:41 |
| inetpro | hehe Kilos, you starting a war again? | 08:42 |
| Kilos | no inetpro read about the list | 08:42 |
| inetpro | :-) | 08:42 |
| Kilos | with Vince-0 s suggestion we will grow methinks | 08:42 |
| inetpro | I must be honest I don't think ubuntu-za is the place for all linux peeps, there are lots of them who can't stand ubuntu | 08:43 |
| Vince-0 | inetpro, that is very true but it doesn't help to be at all exclusive in a smaller community (ZA) | 08:44 |
| tonberryE352 | well us "dumb ubuntu users" need a channel somewhere | 08:44 |
| inetpro | lots of more generic linux stuff used to be discussed on the Gauteng Linux User Group (GLUG) mailing lists | 08:44 |
| Vince-0 | I'm on the various LUG mail-lists | 08:44 |
| Vince-0 | I'm making a local communities page on the DBNLUG site to list all the channels of comms | 08:45 |
| Vince-0 | clugs got some good links | 08:45 |
| inetpro | I'm mnot trying to make ubuntu-za exclusive at all but I just think we should try as much as possible to keep focussed on stuff that works on Ubuntu | 08:45 |
| inetpro | while the fact that it's a .za forum does makes it a bit broader than just a regional based user group | 08:47 |
| inetpro | I don't have a problem with generic linux discussions, but I'm not the boss here | 08:48 |
| Vince-0 | true, context here is important as it is with the LUGs - we've chatted about this context thing here before | 08:48 |
| Vince-0 | I'd just like to see everyone involved with *nix, FLOSS in one place so there might be a big conference type event | 08:49 |
| Vince-0 | all I see is TechEd - yawn | 08:49 |
| inetpro | good to see some activity here | 08:50 |
| inetpro | not sure whether we'll ever have a huge croud in here at once | 08:50 |
| inetpro | not everyone uses IRC | 08:50 |
| skillpiG | everyone that matters use IRC | 08:50 |
| Vince-0 | no, but at least an association - Email is ubiquitous | 08:51 |
| skillpiG | and that is law. | 08:51 |
| Vince-0 | oh, scale-conf is on right now but I couldn't get there | 08:52 |
| inetpro | ubiquitous is a big word, Kiloswat beteken dit? | 08:52 |
| inetpro | Maaz: define ubiquitous | 08:52 |
| Maaz | inetpro: Ubiquitous \U*biq"ui*tous\ ([-u]*b[i^]k"w[i^]*t[u^]s), a. [See {Ubiquity}.] Existing or being everywhere, or in all places, at the same time; omnipresent. -- {U*biq"ui*tous*ly}, adv. [1913 Webster] In this sense is he ubiquitous. --R. D. Hitchcock. [1913 Webster], ubiquitous adj 1: being present everywhere at once [syn: {omnipresent}, | 08:52 |
| Maaz | {ubiquitous}] | 08:52 |
| Vince-0 | meer mense gebruik dit as IRC | 08:52 |
| inetpro | ahh... true | 08:52 |
| inetpro | the sad reality is that with social media we just have way to many distractions these days | 08:54 |
| * Vince-0 busy reading past the 3rd page of Google search results for Linux in pages for South Africa | 08:54 | |
| Kilos | Maaz: define ubiquity | 08:54 |
| Maaz | Kilos: Ubiquity \U*biq"ui*ty\ ([-u]*b[i^]k"w[i^]*t[y^]), n. [L. ubique everywhere, fr. ubi where, perhaps for cubi, quobi (cf. alicubi anywhere), and if so akin to E. who: cf. F. ubiquit['e].] 1. Existence everywhere, or in all places, at the same time; omnipresence; as, the ubiquity of God is not disputed by those who admit his existence. [1913 Webster] The arms | 08:54 |
| Maaz | of Rome . . . were impeded by . . . the wide spaces to be traversed and the ubiquity of t… | 08:54 |
| Vince-0 | ya, social usually means brain rot if you stare at it long enough | 08:54 |
| * inetpro gets way to many emails per day, so tend to stay away from huge email discussions | 08:55 | |
| Vince-0 | mail-lists tend to be a bit clumsy especially with digest subject headers | 08:55 |
| inetpro | true | 08:56 |
| tumbleweed | digets are awful | 08:56 |
| tumbleweed | you just want to filter mailing lists into folders, and use a decent e-mail client | 08:56 |
| tumbleweed | don't be afraid of getting thousands of e-mail a day | 08:56 |
| Vince-0 | but what are the options? A myBB forum?: busy looking at Linux forum on mybroadband | 08:56 |
| tumbleweed | forms are horrible because you have to go and look at them | 08:57 |
| skillpiG | tumbleweed | 08:57 |
| * inetpro agrees with tumbleweed | 08:57 | |
| skillpiG | I remember that name | 08:57 |
| skillpiG | perhaps in a mumble channel, with demonik | 08:57 |
| tumbleweed | ohi | 08:58 |
| Kilos | ha inetpro ctrl+R is really helpful hey? | 09:00 |
| Kilos | ty | 09:00 |
| tumbleweed | skillpiG: naah, never used mumble in my life | 09:01 |
| skillpiG | I don't believe you | 09:01 |
| skillpiG | I will greet you as the same person that was on mumble | 09:01 |
| inetpro | Vince-0: what are you planning to achieve by having all Linux type peeps in one place? | 09:02 |
| skillpiG | zombie nodes | 09:02 |
| skillpiG | DDoS the government | 09:02 |
| inetpro | :-) | 09:02 |
| inetpro | ai! | 09:03 |
| tonberryE352 | good luck with that... | 09:04 |
| Vince-0 | inetpro, just a ZA Linux community entity - imagine there was a computer expo with a bit Linux contingent - geeks would need to know | 09:05 |
| skillpiG | talking about geeks | 09:06 |
| Vince-0 | there seems to be very little corporate interest in any Linux community, which is a bit counter-intuitive for fostering open culture and all that | 09:06 |
| skillpiG | anyone here running an AMD piledriver with ubuntu ? | 09:06 |
| inetpro | Vince-0: I think it was with kmf at the helm of it we tried this with floss.pro | 09:07 |
| skillpiG | having some trouble with 12.10 | 09:07 |
| Kilos | hmm... there was something about amd the other day here | 09:09 |
| Kilos | i cant scroll back so far | 09:09 |
| Vince-0 | inetpro, what's kmf and floss.pro | 09:10 |
| Kilos | kmf is a nick and floss.pro is a channel on irc | 09:11 |
| inetpro | Vince-0: kmf = Karl Fisher who used to have hist own microblogging site running at http://floss.pro | 09:11 |
| Kilos | and a site methinks | 09:11 |
| inetpro | and in fact we still have the irc channel #floss.pro | 09:11 |
| Vince-0 | ah yes, I looked at that before | 09:12 |
| inetpro | Vince-0: but not much happened there for a very long time | 09:12 |
| inetpro | even back then it became very clear to me that it will always be very difficult to get everyone talking on a single platform | 09:13 |
| inetpro | s/platform/medium/ | 09:13 |
| inetpro | but obviously we should not give up trying | 09:14 |
| inetpro | Vince-0: most of those who were on floss.pro ended up just using twitter | 09:19 |
| Vince-0 | social is never one platform | 09:19 |
| inetpro | the nice thing about using something like twitter is that you are free to talk about any subject | 09:20 |
| Vince-0 | I check the Twit occasionally | 09:21 |
| Vince-0 | I think a mail-list is the lowest common denominator | 09:22 |
| inetpro | always | 09:22 |
| inetpro | unfortunately that is still true | 09:23 |
| Vince-0 | ey it's good enough for the Linux kernel devs | 09:23 |
| Vince-0 | would be nice to have a sizable Linux contingent at something like Rage | 09:24 |
| Vince-0 | does Rage overlook people with their own PCs and pirate software? | 09:25 |
| skillpiG | I believe so | 09:26 |
| skillpiG | I don't think they have the right to inspect people's software before allowing them in | 09:26 |
| skillpiG | could be a tedious process | 09:26 |
| skillpiG | and lose 90% of their league competitors | 09:27 |
| Vince-0 | the alternative is have the pirate busters show up and start breaking people's games | 09:28 |
| Vince-0 | and pr0n | 09:28 |
| skillpiG | haha | 09:29 |
| skillpiG | I rate, if you want to attend a LAN like rAge, you should go with a small - medium crowd of people playing the same game | 09:29 |
| skillpiG | to have fun with your mates etc | 09:29 |
| skillpiG | copying you can do at home | 09:29 |
| skillpiG | unless you go to fill up 10TB | 09:30 |
| skillpiG | I don't even know what you want to do with 10TB of movies and series :| | 09:30 |
| skillpiG | or the alternative is to go to rAge | 09:30 |
| skillpiG | to pick up those hot sponsor girls | 09:30 |
| Vince-0 | ha, I'm sure they get sick of geeks hitting on them - the ratio is like 1000:1 | 09:31 |
| Vince-0 | busy reading about makululinux.com - from Mybroadband forums, which has a very active Linux sub-forum | 09:45 |
| skillpiG | saw that a while ago on newshost | 09:49 |
| skillpiG | looks like a nice idea | 09:49 |
| Vince-0 | yep, and local too - the guy deserves some support and feedback | 09:51 |
| Kilos | Vince-0: how far can you scroll back | 09:52 |
| Kilos | there is a special ubuntu for amd i think the weed said | 09:52 |
| inetpro | Kilos: what are you looking for? | 09:53 |
| Kilos | skillpiG: having probs with 12.10 on a amd inetpro | 09:53 |
| Vince-0 | ha, Kilos - a couple of days in this client | 09:54 |
| Vince-0 | oh, in gnome-term I use like 100k lines | 09:54 |
| Kilos | was maybe 4 or 5 back with that amd toy of trender s | 09:54 |
| inetpro | Kilos: 13/04 13:50:48 <magespawn> Kilos have another pc with an amd 980mhz chip and a nvidia card | 09:54 |
| Kilos | there was a link for ubuntu and amd | 09:54 |
| skillpiG | it was a pretty weird problem | 09:55 |
| skillpiG | top reports 100% cpu utilization | 09:55 |
| skillpiG | but everyone responds fairly immediate | 09:55 |
| skillpiG | and then it shuts down | 09:55 |
| skillpiG | not the temperature or power | 09:55 |
| Kilos | ai! | 09:55 |
| skillpiG | works stable in windows 8 | 09:55 |
| Kilos | googling dont give me that amd ubuntu link | 09:56 |
| Vince-0 | Kilos, search online logs? | 09:57 |
| Kilos | hehe Vince-0 my eye reads too slow | 09:57 |
| Kilos | will take forever | 09:57 |
| Vince-0 | egrep! | 09:57 |
| Kilos | maybe we ask tumbleweed | 09:57 |
| inetpro | Kilos: Logs: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com | 09:58 |
| Kilos | the link for ubuntu and amd please tumbleweed | 09:58 |
| Kilos | ai! | 09:58 |
| Kilos | 4 or 5 days | 09:58 |
| tumbleweed | Kilos: eh? | 09:58 |
| Kilos | ill be here another 2 just trying to read | 09:58 |
| Kilos | tumbleweed: do you have that link for ubuntu onto a amd pc please | 09:59 |
| tumbleweed | Kilos: there's nothing special about AMD processors | 09:59 |
| Vince-0 | house4hack is having their Ubuntu Raring release party in Randburg on the 4th of May | 10:00 |
| Kilos | oh my im sure i read something about it uses other kernel stuff or something here | 10:01 |
| Kilos | ai! | 10:01 |
| Kilos | maybe i dreamed it | 10:01 |
| Kilos | or maybe i was on maverick at the time | 10:03 |
| Kilos | sigh | 10:03 |
| tumbleweed | there's never really been anything spceial about AMD CPUs, they are clones of Intel CPUs | 10:08 |
| tumbleweed | AMD invented the 64bit x86 architecture, so we call it amd64 | 10:08 |
| tumbleweed | but Intel support it too | 10:09 |
| tumbleweed | so, really, nothing special | 10:09 |

| Kilos | ah | 14:12 |
| Kilos | aw shame and i bothered him, say im sorry please | 14:13 |
| tumbleweed | Kilos: no problem at all. I'm sitting with a laptop on my lap | 14:13 |
| tumbleweed | I have way more time for IRC when I'm at conferences, then normally :) | 14:13 |
| Kilos | ty but you guys should just let us know if you doing things like that | 14:14 |
| Kilos | lol | 14:14 |
