| Kilos | morning gwood | 07:59 |
| Kilos | HawkiesZA, are you familiar with 3g and network manager | 08:00 |
| Kilos | i just wanna check that the signal strength shown on nm shouldnt vary if one can see the tower should it? | 08:01 |
| Kilos | shows full strength on fone but on nm it is up and down here | 08:02 |
| Kilos | wanna fone and rev 8ta a bit , but dont want to seem too stupid | 08:03 |
| HawkiesZA | Nah, signal could vary on the modem but not on the phone | 08:06 |
| Kilos | aw | 08:07 |
| Kilos | so its then their equipment that sucks | 08:07 |
| Kilos | ty | 08:07 |
| HawkiesZA | Kilos, no, it's just the nature of 3G | 08:08 |
| Kilos | oh | 08:08 |
| HawkiesZA | Does the modem drop completely or is it just fluctuating? | 08:15 |
| Kilos | it shows normally 3 bars but latelt drops to 1 bar then i only get 1650 b/s | 08:29 |
| Kilos | latest | 08:29 |
| Kilos | and opening links takes forever | 08:29 |
| Kilos | thats surely them clamping it? | 08:31 |
| Kilos | got them on fone now | 08:36 |
| Symmetria | Kilos, check this: http://valhalla.clue.be/~vort/wildlife/cheetah.jpg | 08:57 |
| Symmetria | (yes, its 2.4 meg big, but that is such an awesome shot) | 08:58 |
| Kilos | lol Symmetria | 08:59 |
| Kilos | you gone camera mad | 08:59 |
| Kilos | just busy with 8ta | 09:00 |
| Symmetria | Kilos lol you gotta admit though thats such an awesome shot | 09:00 |

| Kilos | grrr | 09:00 |
| Kilos | yip Symmetria beautiful | 09:01 |
| Kilos | now get 8ta to fix whatever they gotta fix | 09:01 |
| Kilos | you shoulda called them and said smile for the shot | 09:05 |
| Symmetria | lol | 09:05 |
| Symmetria | I got a few more of them actually cleaning each other but aint editted them yet and their res is so huge its not practical to put them online till I dot hat | 09:06 |
| Kilos | tell me something first | 09:06 |
| Kilos | is there a way i can hassle my 8ta connection till it speeds up | 09:07 |
| Kilos | or hassles them so they fix it asap | 09:07 |
| Kilos | you arent the network guru for nothing | 09:08 |
| Kilos | morning superfly | 09:08 |
| superfly | hi Kilos | 09:09 |
| Symmetria | Kilos | 09:09 |
| Symmetria | 8ta is part of telkom | 09:09 |
| Symmetria | therefore, its broken by nature | 09:09 |
| Symmetria | and any fixing it would be defying the very laws of the universe | 09:09 |
| Symmetria | ;p | 09:09 |
| Kilos | hahaha help me force them to fix it man | 09:10 |
| Kilos | it was good for a long time | 09:10 |
| Kilos | or i gotta start tweeting their CEO daily and i hate twitter | 09:11 |
| trender | (.)(.) | 09:43 |
| trender | __ | 09:43 |
| inetpro | good morning Kilos, and everyone else | 09:44 |
| Kilos | lo inetpro | 09:45 |
| HawkiesZA | Morning inetpro | 09:49 |
| inetpro | 02/05 11:09:31 <Symmetria> and any fixing it would be defying the very laws of the universe | 09:50 |
| Kilos | lol | 09:51 |
| inetpro | Maaz: Symmetria ++ [fixing Telkom would be defying the laws of the universe] | 09:51 |
| inetpro | it's a sad case | 09:52 |
| Kilos | we just gotta tweet the ceo inetpro | 09:53 |
| inetpro | so much potential there yet so little effort that seems to be channeled in the direction to fix things up | 09:53 |
| Kilos | will see now after this mornings fone call | 09:54 |
| Kilos | inetpro, its no good just sitting back and complaining , all 8ta peeps must let them selves be heard then only will something happen | 10:07 |
| Kilos | when waves get big you gotta jumps to keep head above water | 10:08 |
| Kilos | jump | 10:08 |
| inetpro | Kilos: my problems with 8ta are relatively minor | 10:08 |
| Kilos | its called rocking the boat | 10:08 |
| Kilos | speed? | 10:08 |
| Kilos | thats my only prob now | 10:09 |
| inetpro | my speed is quite stable | 10:09 |
| Kilos | connection does drop but speed sucks | 10:09 |
| Kilos | doesnt | 10:09 |
| Kilos | stable at how much? | 10:09 |
| inetpro | yes it slows down at times and yes sometimes I have connectivity issues but I can live with those at the price that we pay compared to other networks | 10:10 |
| inetpro | my 8ta connection is more stable than Vodacom | 10:11 |
| Kilos | my only prob is the speed | 10:11 |
| Kilos | there seems to be a connection prob between customer care and the technicians | 10:12 |
| Kilos | this morning the data guys told me the case i was working on had been closed | 10:12 |
| Kilos | but the customer care peeps kept saying they are logging on it and reporting | 10:13 |
| Kilos | wbb going to kde | 10:25 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 10:29 |
| inetpro | Maaz: ftp | 11:49 |
| Maaz | Dump FTP! http://www.43folders.com/2008/07/14/dump-ftp see also: FTP must Die!! http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie | 11:49 |
| inetpro | Maaz: thanks | 11:50 |
| Maaz | inetpro: Okay :-) | 11:50 |
| * inetpro feels better now | 11:50 | |
| Vince-0 | surp durp | 11:59 |
| Vince-0 | checking out Jaque Raymer's custom distro: http://www.makululinux.com/ - looks to be Ubuntu based | 11:59 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 13:03 |
| Kilos | trying to remastersys on kde today | 13:04 |
| HawkiesZA | Looks like that's becoming System Imager | 13:16 |
| HawkiesZA | http://www.remastersys.com/ | 13:17 |
| HawkiesZA | Dev sounds angry | 13:17 |
| Kilos | it works on ubuntu now we see the kde result | 13:31 |
| Kilos | takes a long time to make that custom dvd though | 13:39 |
| Kilos | actually the custom iso , burning the dvd is chop chop | 13:43 |
| magespawn | afternoon all | 13:48 |
| HawkiesZA | yo magespawn | 13:50 |
| magespawn | what's up today? | 13:52 |
| Kilos | hi magespawn | 13:52 |
| magespawn | hey Kilos | 13:52 |
| Kilos | you win laddy? | 13:52 |
| magespawn | looks like it | 13:53 |
| Kilos | yay what did you find? | 13:56 |
| magespawn | looks like the one switch was getting overloaded and would drop the internet off, as it has the least amount of traffic | 13:58 |
| magespawn | but we are still running the monitering software | 13:59 |
| Kilos | ah | 13:59 |
| Kilos | in winsucks? | 14:00 |
| Kilos | shame | 14:00 |
| magespawn | no linux, i left a laptop plugged into their network | 14:00 |
| tonberryE352 | burn the switch | 14:00 |
| Kilos | ah | 14:01 |
| magespawn | the switch is probably faulty, so yes tonberryE352, time for a new one | 14:01 |
| Kilos | interesting to watch remastersys working, it does lotsa stuff | 14:13 |
| Kilos | tempporarily copies /var and /etc to somwhere | 14:15 |
| Kilos | oh my, remaster sys did something to kde, boots to prompt and i forgot the command to start the gui | 16:31 |
| Kilos | didnt do anything to unity | 16:31 |
| Kilos | when i use sudo service kdm start it says its already running | 16:32 |
| Kilos | grrr | 16:32 |
| magespawn | Kilos ping | 17:23 |

| * Squirm looks around | 18:45 | |
| Squirm | hi | 18:46 |
| Kilos | hi Squirm y | 18:46 |
| superfly | I doubt startx will be of any help - kdm runs startx, in essence. it's more likely a problem with graphics card drivers | 18:52 |
| Kilos | ive tried nvidia-173 reinstall but same thing superfly | 18:53 |
| Kilos | and kdm | 18:53 |
| superfly | Kilos: did you try purging nvidia-304 ? | 18:54 |
| superfly | then again, nvidia-173 should have removed 304 | 18:54 |
| Kilos | nope where would that have got in? | 18:54 |
| nuvolari | o/ hi oom Kilos | 18:55 |
| nuvolari | lo superfly | 18:55 |
| Kilos | i think once before i installed xorg and it came right but not sure anymore | 18:55 |
| nuvolari | lo Squirm , ThatGraemeGuy, inetpro | 18:55 |
| Kilos | lo nuvolari | 18:55 |
| superfly | hi nuvolari | 18:56 |
| superfly | nuvolari: Pyramid + Google App Engine = yummy | 18:56 |
| nuvolari | meh, I'm off GAE for the time being. Boss can't make up his mind on using GAE or not | 18:59 |
| superfly | nuvolari: I'm fiddling with a Python app for GAE | 18:59 |
| superfly | then I don't have to care about scalability | 18:59 |
| === CanAFK is now known as Cantide | ||
| nuvolari | it is refreshing taking a break from JEE - GAE was fun! | 19:00 |
| nuvolari | hello Cantide | 19:00 |
| Cantide | hello :) | 19:00 |
| === Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za | ||
| Kilos | superfly, so what do i try if startx dont work | 19:09 |
| superfly | Kilos: startx won't work | 19:09 |
| Kilos | uh oh | 19:09 |
| superfly | Kilos: startx is an old command which should not be used unless you know why you're using it | 19:09 |
| nuvolari | *cough* I was under impression that it should, well, start X :P | 19:10 |
| superfly | nuvolari: if you'd been keeping track of Kilos's conversation, you'd see why startx won't work | 19:10 |
| nuvolari | oh, sorry, not been keeping track | 19:11 |
| Kilos | did remastersys kill it? | 19:11 |
| superfly | Kilos: what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? | 19:11 |
| Kilos | sec lemme try find it | 19:11 |
| superfly | Kilos: it's a file, not a command. You want to look for lines that start with "EE" | 19:12 |
| superfly | [ 27.955] (EE) ... | 19:12 |
| Kilos | i can do that from this drive to that one cant i? | 19:12 |
| superfly | Kilos: as long as you have the drive mounted, and you're looking at the right file | 19:13 |
| Kilos | ok lemme try | 19:13 |
| Kilos | aw cant open it | 19:16 |
| * inetpro taking an early nap | 19:17 | |
| inetpro | good night everyone | 19:17 |
| Kilos | there is /var/log/Xorg.1.log that i can open | 19:17 |
| nuvolari | o/ night inetpro | 19:17 |
| Kilos | night inetpro | 19:17 |
| Kilos | sleep tight | 19:18 |
| Kilos | eek its massive | 19:19 |
| Kilos | (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) | 19:19 |
| Kilos | is that it superfly ? | 19:20 |
| superfly | Kilos: that looks like one of them. is this on the other drive? | 19:20 |
| superfly | Kilos: are you sure you're not looking at this hard drive? | 19:20 |
| superfly | where's your other hard drive mounted? | 19:21 |
| Kilos | ini went from home to it | 19:22 |
| Kilos | it shows on the launcher as mounted | 19:22 |
| Kilos | called 18g filesystem | 19:23 |
| superfly | OK. are there any other lines that start with EE ? | 19:27 |
| Kilos | that might also be mavericks | 19:27 |
| Kilos | whew three drives on one pc can bamfoozle one when there are probs | 19:28 |
| Kilos | eish internet even slow on slexy.org | 19:32 |
| Kilos | superfly, im not getting even the short good one pasted to slexy | 19:39 |
| Kilos | and sukkeling to stay up here now. will remove maverick tomorrow and go from there. ty for the help | 19:40 |
| superfly | OK | 19:41 |
| superfly | Kilos: that bit of an error message you showed me says that you don't have the nVidia drivers insdtalled | 19:42 |
| Kilos | i dunno why i installed nvidia-173 when i was logged in on the prompt | 19:43 |
| Kilos | but actually i saw something funny too | 19:43 |
| Kilos | saw gdm somewhere ant that kde boots differently to others so maybe i installed gdm sometime | 19:44 |
| Kilos | i will try sudo gdm start there and see if thats it | 19:44 |
| Kilos | but tomorrow | 19:44 |
| Kilos | night all sleep tight | 19:45 |
| superfly | Kilos: do you have both gdm and kdm installed? | 19:45 |
| superfly | no wonder you're having issues! | 19:45 |
| Kilos | i dunno superfly | 19:45 |
| Kilos | will boot with only that drive in then i cant make mistakes | 19:45 |
| Kilos | hehe i do funny things when head crooked | 19:46 |
| Kilos | and it was running so lekker too | 19:46 |
| Kilos | night | 19:46 |
