somaunnHi everyone10:27
HawkiesZA_Hi somaunn 10:28
somaunnHawkiesZA_, Hows life here ?10:29
HawkiesZA_Define here?10:29
somaunnHawkiesZA_, this channel10:35
HawkiesZA_aha. It's generally pretty quiet. Kilos can get quite chatty though ;)10:38
Kiloshaha10:38
HawkiesZA_Howzit going Kilos?10:40
Kilosgood ty and you HawkiesZA_ 10:41
Kilosi chatted to the fly and he said he will tell you what needs working on in the ibid greeter script10:42
HawkiesZA_Pretty good too. Sunny skies and <holds thumbs> passing code tests10:42
Kilosgood luck10:43
HawkiesZA_Ah, excellent. He's been sick the past couple of days, hopefully he gets better soon10:43
Kiloseish poor man10:43
Kiloshi Cantide 10:48
Cantidehello :)10:48
Kiloswassup somaunn 10:48
charlgood afternoon11:43
Kiloslo charl 11:44
charlhi Kilos 11:44
charlhow's it going11:44
Kilosgood ty and you?11:44
charli'm doing well thanks11:44
charli just saw something strange, i was looking at this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases11:45
charlubuntu 12.10 reaches EoL april 201411:45
charlbut ubuntu 13.04 reaches EoL january 2014??11:46
charlthat's very strange to me11:46
Kilosya they shortened support time11:46
charlah i see11:46
Kilosonly LTS will get the long support11:46
Kilosand only LTS dvds will be supplied11:47
charli think that is quite logical because cds are no longer being used much anyway11:47
Cantideyeah, and shorter support time frees them up for other things11:48
Kilosya11:48
charlyeah it sounds logical to me as well11:48
Cantidethose needing stability and support should only use LTS versions11:48
Cantidethose wanted to test new features can try the versions in between11:48
charlwas just surprised to see that 12.10 is supported until after 13.0411:48
* Cantide is waiting for 14.04 :)11:48
charli installed 13.04 on my laptop, but my lenovo laptop is very easy to keep up to date11:49
Cantidewhat do you think of 13.0411:50
Cantidei've downloaded the iso, but not yet been able to run it11:50
charli still have 12.10 on my desktop at work, i actually wanted to install 12.04 but i had trouble getting it to boot11:50
charli have a dell optiplex 9010 which comes with a uefi boot manager11:51
Cantideah11:51
charli run vmware so i am careful of just upgrading my work machine to a newer version of the linux kernel11:52
Cantideuefi :'(11:52
charlfirst need to make sure it is supported, if memory serves correctly my laptop is now running 3.7 but my desktop is still running 3.511:53
charlbut as far as 13.04 is concerned, i run kubuntu and have noticed very few differences11:54
charljust a general upgrade of all the software11:54
charlwhich is nice, in some small ways11:54
charlon a different note, does anyone here run an xmpp server?12:05
charla xmpp, dunno12:05
Cantidean seems best there :p12:08
* Cantide doesn't12:08
Cantideyeah, i think a lot of the changes in 13.04 were in unity12:08
somaunnHi12:24
charlhi somaunn 12:28
somaunnHi charl 12:29
somaunnany one tested ubuntu 13.04 or kubuntu 13.04 ?12:33
charlme for one12:35
charli run kubuntu 13.04 on my laptop12:35
somaunngood12:36
charli'm sure ubuntu would be well-tested by a number of people before it is released though, what specifically did you want to know?12:36
somaunni'm actually runing both ubuntu & kubuntu 13.0412:36
charloh good12:37
charlyou can run the two together, you just need to have both the ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop packages installed12:37
charlthen you can select which desktop environment you want to use when you login12:37
charlmost login managers have an option to select the environment12:38
somaunnthat's right12:38
somaunnbut i've actually installed ubuntu on my Desktop and kubuntu on my laptop12:38
charldisplay managers i mean12:38
charlsame here, although i am still running ubuntu 12.10 on my desktop12:39
somaunndespite the graphic card i'm using is not a pro card but things are okay12:42
charli use intel hd graphics cards on both my desktop and laptop12:42
charlyou don't need a fancy graphics card just to run a desktop these days12:43
charlwow got jabberd2 talking across ipv6, nice13:05
charljust had to uncomment a setting13:05
charlciao14:00

inetproai!16:05

Kilosyessir16:07
inetprohmm... 16:07

Kilosgrrr16:10
Kilosthats slower than gprs16:11
Trixar_zaAnd for me it's slow if I use my 3G dongle or my phone16:12

Kiloshaha inetpro start putting out booze for him and maybe you can catch him when he falls out the tree drunk17:20
Kilosim sure that the same type of monkey full up on the natal coast17:23
Kilosmagespawn, whats news on the wgetting17:43
magespawnhave not tried the iso yet, been a bit busy17:50
Kilosah17:51
magespawnthe network at the hotel is still not behaving properly17:52
Kilosai!17:54
magespawnyup they have sent a guy from the head office, who is as stumped as me17:56
Kilosoh my. it must be fixable though17:58
magespawni am sure it is, but we can't find what is causing the problem, so back in the trenches tomorrow18:02
Kilostake lotsa cable and replace one section at a time maybe18:03
magespawnwe might end up doing that18:09
Kilosyou have already kinda localised the bad area so it shouldnt be too much graft18:12
magespawnthats the thing, we are not really sure about anything18:15
Kilosoh my18:19
Kilosi thought the sections you disconnected were the prob ones18:19
magespawnthe network loses it's internet connection every now and then, unplugging and replugging the router brings it back online18:28
Kilosoh not the same prob from months ago18:29
magespawnno but possibly related18:30
magespawngoing to set up various pc to see if i can monitor the network18:30
Kilosyou tried another router hey?18:30
Kilosi dont member so far back18:31
magespawnyup but al least one was fried by eskom/lightening, and another was definately faulty18:33
Kiloseish18:34
Kilosmaybe the lines are cooked as well18:34
Kilosbut that should only be from router out18:38
Kilosto the net18:38
magespawnmight be an isp problem, but there is a big problem somewhere18:38
Kiloswhew good luck18:39
magespawni am sure we will get there18:44
Kilosyeah must be18:45
magespawngoing to be fun finding it18:55
Kilosyeah18:58
