| magespawn | felt like i was in a ghost town, i was thinking the whole net was broken or something cause there was no activity on any of the channels i am in | 07:37 |
| kookamoer | people in this channel dont talk much | 07:37 |
| Kilos | sometimes im away by the sheep or cooking or something | 07:37 |
| Kilos | haha i often check to see the connection still up | 07:38 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee on | 07:38 |
| * Maaz washes some mugs | 07:38 | |
| Kilos | is a good way | 07:38 |
| kookamoer | small channel this | 07:39 |
| Kilos | ya and everyone working mostly | 07:39 |
| kookamoer | my last irc channel was pumping at least 100 mense or more | 07:39 |
| kookamoer | on a bad day | 07:40 |
| Kilos | its because this is a basic ubuntu help channel not a hangout | 07:40 |
| kookamoer | i never had a hangout either man | 07:41 |
| kookamoer | we where punting tech wares before you new the net existed on 33k modems | 07:41 |
| Kilos | ah | 07:41 |
| superfly | *were | 07:42 |

| kookamoer | *finger* | 07:42 |
| Kilos | Maaz, ty | 07:42 |
| Maaz | You are welcome Kilos | 07:42 |
| tonberryE352 | IRC is a dying medium | 07:42 |
| superfly | kookamoer: a pity you didn't learn how to spell | 07:42 |
| kookamoer | ( | ) <<<KMA | 07:43 |
| kookamoer | superfly jerks like you with your smart alek pissing contest remarks really make irc special for everyone....take your ego elsewhere jerkoff | 07:47 |
| superfly | kookamoer: I suggest you take your ego elsewhere. I correct everyone, you can ask the others. You were the one that pulled the finger. | 07:48 |
| kookamoer | just try and get along mate...i never yanked on your chain to begin with | 07:50 |
| Kilos | superfly, is our built in spell checker | 07:53 |
| Kilos | no fighting here | 07:53 |
| Kilos | grrr | 07:53 |
| kookamoer | hehe its all good man | 07:53 |
| Kilos | hi psyatw | 08:37 |
| psyatw | hi Kilos | 08:39 |
| Kilos | you got a workaround psyatw ? | 08:39 |
| psyatw | Kilos, a workaround for what? | 08:44 |
| psyatw | I am using SSL to connect with Windows Pidgin here at work | 08:44 |
| Kilos | being online from work | 08:44 |
| Kilos | ah | 08:44 |
| psyatw | yes, they haven' t blocked this yet | 08:45 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:45 |
| psyatw | but they are restricting me in any way they can | 08:45 |
| Kilos | eish | 08:46 |
| psyatw | I don't have rights to install software on my laptop anymore | 08:47 |
| Kilos | they want all your time | 08:47 |
| psyatw | so I can't even run virtualbox on my desktop anymore | 08:47 |
| psyatw | oh, right | 08:47 |
| psyatw | soon when I find another job they will get none of my time, they can be sure of that | 08:47 |
| Kilos | maybe that was a bad move to there hey | 08:48 |
| Kilos | peeps dont understand that a happy employee gives more of himself to the company | 08:49 |
| psyatw | no, it wasn't a bad move | 08:49 |
| psyatw | because I came here for myself | 08:49 |
| psyatw | in order to succeed in whatever way I can | 08:49 |
| psyatw | this job is just a way to get there | 08:49 |
| Kilos | stepping stones are good | 08:50 |
| psyatw | indeed | 08:51 |
| inetpro | Goeiemôre | 09:01 |
| Kilos | môre inetpro | 09:01 |
| psyatw | hi inetpro | 09:02 |
| Kilos | vrek koud | 09:07 |
| inetpro | Kilos: eintlik redelik vandag as jy my vra | 09:10 |
| inetpro | maar miskien het ek nie vanoggend kwaai gevoel nie omdat ek met die kar gery het | 09:11 |
| Kilos | nee man al die buite water was ys | 09:11 |
| Kilos | ya dis hoekom | 09:11 |
| inetpro | ongelukkig kon hulle nie daai band vir my met 'n gator regmaak nie. So ek kry seer vandag. | 09:13 |
| Kilos | eish | 09:13 |
| inetpro | Sal maar moet brood met water eet vir die volgende paar maande | 09:14 |
| Kilos | dis nie lekker nie | 09:14 |
| Kilos | eina | 09:14 |
| Kilos | hi mazal | 09:25 |
| mazal | More oom Kilos | 09:38 |
| Kilos | inetpro, did they show you why they cant gator it? | 10:17 |
| inetpro | Kilos: it will not be safe in the long run, was a big hit | 10:18 |
| Kilos | if its only a small bubble the damage cant be bad | 10:18 |
| inetpro | the rim also needed repair | 10:18 |
| Kilos | eish | 10:19 |
| Kilos | where is the damage | 10:19 |
| Kilos | how far up the sidewall | 10:19 |
| inetpro | actually, what I didn't see was the inside | 10:19 |
| inetpro | was much worse | 10:19 |
| inetpro | Kilos: well it's fixed now and I got a new tyre | 10:20 |
| Kilos | ya but at crippling cost | 10:21 |
| inetpro | was not worth taking the risk | 10:21 |
| inetpro | lifes are more valuable | 10:21 |
| Kilos | as long as youre sure they didnt just want to sell a new tyre thats ok | 10:21 |
| Kilos | peace of mind is good | 10:21 |
| inetpro | the tyre was only 6 months old, so a new one won't make a massive difference | 10:22 |
| inetpro | just the bank balance taking a big knock, again | 10:22 |
| Kilos | ouch | 10:22 |
| inetpro | will have to work out ways to survive | 10:23 |
| Kilos | ai! | 10:23 |
| inetpro | maybe you can offer me a sheep herding job or so :-) | 10:23 |
| Kilos | lol | 10:25 |
| magespawn | i trade my services for other peoples services instead on money sometimes | 11:34 |
| Kilos | hehe | 11:34 |
| magespawn | got a set of tyres for the golf for computer for the local spares and tyre place | 11:35 |
| Kilos | barter system | 11:39 |

| HecticZA | Home, Desktop, Downloads, Music, Pics, Vids, File system, Trash and Network | 16:22 |
| Kilos | i see all my drives there and partitions | 16:23 |
| Kilos | ok ctrl+alt+t opened a terminal | 16:23 |
| HecticZA | k | 16:23 |
| Kilos | type in there sudo apt-get install synaptic aptitude | 16:24 |
| Kilos | copy paste it in | 16:24 |
| Kilos | that will install 2 things | 16:25 |
| Kilos | synaptic is a package manager | 16:25 |
| HecticZA | It is busy with install | 16:25 |
| Kilos | hi Cantide | 16:25 |
| Kilos | ok you know the top left icon is called the dasgh | 16:26 |
| Kilos | dash | 16:26 |
| Cantide | hello :) | 16:26 |
| HecticZA | Yes | 16:26 |
| Kilos | thats where you select what you want to open | 16:26 |
| Kilos | cool | 16:26 |
| HecticZA | Hi Cantide :) | 16:27 |
| Kilos | once install finish type synaptic in the dash | 16:27 |
| Cantide | hi HecticZA :) | 16:27 |
| HecticZA | Okay it is open Kilos | 16:28 |
| Kilos | ok in top right type in auto | 16:28 |
| Kilos | i forget the right stuff to use | 16:28 |
| Kilos | but it will show you all the auto packages there | 16:29 |
| HecticZA | okay? | 16:29 |
| Kilos | scroll down one will be auto connect to drives or usbs or something | 16:29 |
| Kilos | i think what you need is udisks | 16:33 |
| HecticZA | usbmount? | 16:33 |
| Kilos | but i remember i saw some automount thing some time | 16:33 |
| Kilos | type in usb at the top | 16:33 |
| HecticZA | mount unmount usb mass storage devices | 16:33 |
| Kilos | ya trick that | 16:34 |
| Kilos | tick | 16:34 |
| Kilos | then type in udisk and tick that | 16:34 |
| Kilos | udisks | 16:35 |
| Kilos | then tick apply | 16:36 |
| HecticZA | there is a "udisks" with a red button next to it? | 16:36 |
| Kilos | right click it | 16:37 |
| HecticZA | looks like ubuntu pic I think | 16:37 |
| Kilos | upgrade or reinstall | 16:37 |
| Kilos | red button on the left? | 16:37 |
| HecticZA | okay busy with install and reinstall | 16:38 |
| Kilos | actually while you there just tick mark all upgrades | 16:38 |
| HecticZA | It looks like the ubuntu logo and it was to the right of the package name. I think it indicated that i was already installed | 16:39 |
| Kilos | that will show if something isnt upgraded | 16:39 |
| Kilos | oh those with that red ubuntu logo are official packages | 16:40 |
| HecticZA | are all of them upgrades? or do I click on them to check? | 16:40 |
| Kilos | nope | 16:40 |
| Kilos | its stuff you only tick if you use that program | 16:40 |
| HecticZA | Okay there are no upgrades | 16:40 |
| Kilos | cool | 16:41 |
| Kilos | you know about your 4 workspaces? | 16:41 |
| HecticZA | I have seen it yes | 16:41 |
| Kilos | you can leave stuff working on one and do other stuff on others | 16:42 |
| Kilos | saves the minimising thing | 16:42 |
| HecticZA | Everything is open in 1 work space. Can I move it somehow or do I have to close and open again? | 16:43 |
| Kilos | i havent worked that out yet on old ubuntu you could drag them to other space | 16:43 |
| Kilos | just open next job on another one | 16:44 |
| HecticZA | k | 16:44 |
| Kilos | i use 10 workspaces | 16:44 |
| Kilos | hehe | 16:44 |
| Kilos | had to sukkel a while to sort that out | 16:44 |
| Cantide | if you use the workspace switcher you can drag them to other workspaces | 16:45 |
| HecticZA | Does not look like I can drag, but not a problem atm | 16:45 |
| Kilos | does yours work? | 16:45 |
| Kilos | ya this new one dont do it anymore | 16:45 |
| HecticZA | I does, but not the dragging | 16:45 |
| Cantide | mine does :o | 16:46 |
| Cantide | i'm on 12.04 though... | 16:46 |
| Kilos | i have found how to move things from one to the other yet | 16:46 |
| Cantide | hmm | 16:46 |
| Cantide | what version is everyone else on? | 16:46 |
| Kilos | he is also 12.04 | 16:46 |
| Kilos | cantide help him a bit more please | 16:47 |
| Cantide | Unity? | 16:47 |
| Cantide | or another DE? | 16:47 |
| Kilos | ya | 16:47 |
| Kilos | fresh install | 16:48 |
| Cantide | well, mine works with the dragging once in the workspace switcher | 16:48 |
| Kilos | mine dont | 16:48 |
| Cantide | HecticZA, press the windows key + s | 16:48 |
| Cantide | then click on a window and move it to another workspace.. | 16:48 |
| Kilos | only shows one block with something in | 16:48 |
| Cantide | o_O | 16:48 |
| Cantide | ah | 16:48 |
| HecticZA | yeah if you right click an app, you ca send it o a space | 16:49 |
| Cantide | weird.. | 16:49 |
| Kilos | and he dont see his second drive Cantide | 16:49 |
| Cantide | oh yeah, you can do that, too | 16:49 |
| HecticZA | I don't see any drive | 16:49 |
| Cantide | are you sure that's not a hardware problem? | 16:49 |
| HecticZA | Probably looking at the wrong place | 16:49 |
| Kilos | i see all drives when i click home | 16:50 |
| Cantide | try the Disk Utility app | 16:50 |
| Cantide | you will see all drives in there even if they're not mounted afaik | 16:50 |
| HecticZA | Not sure. In Peppermint there was utility app, but I don't see it here | 16:50 |
| Kilos | where is the automount thing | 16:50 |
| Cantide | oh, maybe you need to install it | 16:50 |
| HecticZA | okay I typed in the dash area and it is there | 16:51 |
| Kilos | type disk in dash | 16:51 |
| Kilos | disk utility will show if its installed | 16:51 |
| Kilos | hehe | 16:51 |
| HecticZA | I see both drives and both rom's | 16:51 |
| Kilos | ok so then its hidden for some reason | 16:52 |
| Kilos | Cantide, fix it | 16:52 |
| Cantide | haha | 16:52 |
| Kilos | oh there is show hidden | 16:52 |
| Cantide | hey, i am a n00b myself :'( | 16:52 |
| Kilos | in that home window | 16:52 |
| Kilos | actually above it in the top taskbar | 16:53 |
| HecticZA | It shows my 2TB as free unallocated space? It is full off data? | 16:53 |
| Kilos | under view there should be a show hidden goodie | 16:53 |
| Kilos | Cantide, when i open home i see all my drives and partitions on the left | 16:55 |
| Cantide | so do i | 16:55 |
| Kilos | why dont he? | 16:55 |
| Cantide | idk :( | 16:55 |
| Cantide | it could be that it is not mounted | 16:55 |
| Cantide | which can be done through the disk utility | 16:55 |
| Kilos | tell him how please | 16:55 |
| HecticZA | My 80gb with ubuntu shows mounted, but it says my 2TB has no partition :( | 16:56 |
| Cantide | select the drive on the left | 16:56 |
| Cantide | HecticZA, is the drive working? 'o' | 16:57 |
| HecticZA | It was before I installed ubuntu? | 16:57 |
| Cantide | :S | 16:57 |
| Cantide | oh | 16:57 |
| Cantide | ah... no -.- | 16:57 |
| HecticZA | That doesnt sound good | 16:57 |
| Kilos | fsck it maybe | 16:58 |
| Cantide | maybe | 16:58 |
| Cantide | i don't know exactly, so i don't want to give the wrong advice | 16:58 |
| Kilos | sudo fsck -p i think it was check first | 16:58 |
| HecticZA | Unfortunately I have to go now. Will check on the net tomorrow | 16:58 |
| Kilos | superfly, can you give advice please | 16:59 |
| Kilos | ok tomorrow | 16:59 |
| superfly | *advise | 16:59 |
| Cantide | HecticZA, good luck :/ | 16:59 |
| Cantide | advise is the verb | 16:59 |
| Kilos | oh ya | 16:59 |
| Cantide | advice is the noun | 16:59 |
| Cantide | ah | 16:59 |
| Cantide | you're correcting Kilos, not me :p | 16:59 |
| superfly | Cantide: yes | 16:59 |
| HecticZA | I really don't hope that info is gone, but I was carefull not too touch it | 16:59 |
| Cantide | but he was also right :) | 16:59 |
| HecticZA | Anyways thx guys. See tom rrow | 16:59 |
| Kilos | he has to gonow but he installed ubuntu and it doesnt show whats on second drive | 17:00 |
| Cantide | bye HecticZA :) | 17:00 |
| HecticZA | Cheers | 17:00 |
| Kilos | cheers | 17:00 |
| Cantide | i wanted to ask what file system is on it | 17:01 |
| Cantide | but Ubuntu picks up pretty much everything >.< | 17:02 |
| superfly | if Ubuntu doesn't, try partedmagic | 17:02 |
| Cantide | ah | 17:02 |
| superfly | yeah, what Cantide said | 17:02 |
| Cantide | is that the same as gparted? | 17:02 |
| superfly | it's a partitioning live cd | 17:02 |
| Cantide | aha | 17:03 |
| Cantide | that's handy | 17:03 |
| Kilos | i also lost what was on a drive once when installing and i think crashkid gave me a fsck command and it found everything again | 17:06 |
| Kilos | fsck -p or -p | 17:06 |
| Kilos | he has lotsa data on there he dont wanna lose | 17:06 |
| Cantide | i usually disconnect all drives except the one i am installing on, just to be safe | 17:06 |
| Kilos | ya me too now | 17:07 |
| Kilos | gparted can lose stuff quick too if you tick wrong place | 17:08 |
| Cantide | yeah | 17:08 |
| Cantide | that's why i don't like to offer advice on such matters | 17:08 |
| Cantide | i would feel terrible if i caused someone to lose their data | 17:09 |
| Kilos | that fsck command fixed mine | 17:09 |
| Kilos | just can remember the goodie to use | 17:09 |
| Kilos | cant | 17:09 |
| Kilos | fsck -f /dev/sdb1 | 17:11 |
| Kilos | there yo go | 17:11 |
| Cantide | :p | 17:11 |
| Cantide | tell HecticZA that >.< | 17:12 |
| Kilos | dunno where i got p from | 17:12 |

| Kilos | hehe | 17:12 |
| Cantide | p? | 17:13 |
| Cantide | ah | 17:13 |
| Kilos | -p or -P means something in some command | 17:13 |
| Kilos | i got advice saved all over | 17:14 |
| Cantide | :) | 17:14 |
| Kilos | hey Cantide maybe he hasnt got permissions to see that drive | 17:22 |
| Cantide | oh | 17:22 |
| Cantide | is that possible? | 17:22 |
| Kilos | i only know the chown way to take control | 17:22 |

| Kilos | http://askubuntu.com/questions/57292/nm-applets-vpn-menu-disappears | 18:31 |
| Kilos | i hope thats it | 18:31 |
| jmagunduni1 | Kilos: whenever i am connected to the internet.I tried goggling but couldn't find any solution , so i was thinking perhaps someone in this group have came across the same problem and resolved it.The other problem is that i occasionally get disconnected from the internet.I am using my cellphone to connect to the internet"via Bluetooth". | 18:38 |
| Kilos | http://askubuntu.com/questions/57292/nm-applets-vpn-menu-disappears | 18:39 |
| Kilos | maybe try reinstall nm-applet too | 18:39 |
| Kilos | jmagunduni1, do you have synaptic installed | 18:43 |
| jmagunduni1 | Grrr >:-O how will I connect to the internet if I re-install/un-install nm-applet :-(.Anyway thanks Kilos, i will have a look at the forum and probably get back to you if the problem persists .Thanks | 18:43 |
| Kilos | try with synaptic | 18:43 |
| kbmonkey | hello hello | 18:44 |
| Kilos | type in network at the top and right click reinstall all thats installed there | 18:44 |
| Kilos | hi kbmonkey | 18:44 |
| jmagunduni1 | thanks kilos,will try that. | 18:44 |
| jmagunduni1 | hi Kbmonkey whats up? | 18:45 |
| kbmonkey | nananana-weekend | 18:45 |
| Kilos | hehe | 18:45 |
| kbmonkey | jmagunduni1, if you use the -d option with apt-get it will download nm-applet packages beforehand so you can reinstall it while offline :) | 18:46 |
| kbmonkey | synaptic has this option too | 18:46 |
| jmagunduni1 | kbmonkey :give me an example , I am not a tech geek , I'm just a normal end user | 18:47 |
| jmagunduni1 | :-) | 18:48 |
| kbmonkey | let me look at synaptic... | 18:50 |
| kbmonkey | hmm, strange, did that option fall away? :P | 18:50 |
| kbmonkey | ah okay here is how it works jmagunduni1 ... | 18:52 |
| jmagunduni1 | kbmonkey:yes. | 18:52 |
| kbmonkey | when you do a system update it will download the latest version of all your apps as installers (.deb files) | 18:52 |
| kbmonkey | those live on your pc for a while, so you dont need to re-download them next time | 18:52 |
| kbmonkey | so if your system is up to date, you will already have a copy of the nm-applet installer :) | 18:53 |
| jmagunduni1 | oh ok , how do i fix it then.:-) | 18:53 |
| kbmonkey | do you want to reinstall nm-applet? | 18:54 |
| jmagunduni1 | yes. | 18:54 |
| kbmonkey | no problem. removing it wont disconnect you because your connection is handled by network-manager | 18:55 |
| kbmonkey | why not try to reconfigure it first: sudo dpkg-reconfigure nm-applet | 18:56 |
| kbmonkey | that does the same as removing + reinstall it | 18:56 |
| kbmonkey | you run that in a terminal window by the way :) | 18:56 |
| jmagunduni1 | oh ok , let me try then .:-$ | 18:57 |
| kbmonkey | I scrolled up but am not too clear on what your problem is jmagunduni1... | 18:58 |
| kbmonkey | is it that you keep getting disconnected, or something to do with vpn? | 18:58 |
| jmagunduni1 | kbmonkey: i got the following message. dpkg-query: package 'nm-applet' is not installed and no information is available | 18:58 |
| jmagunduni1 | Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, | 18:58 |
| jmagunduni1 | and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. | 18:58 |
| jmagunduni1 | /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: nm-applet is not installed | 18:58 |
| kbmonkey | okay, you are on a latest version of ubuntu then? Perhaps the latest ubuntu uses something else instead of nm-applet, and if that is the case I cannot help you there :( | 18:59 |
| kbmonkey | for what it is worth, I am on 3G and also get disconnected at least every hour :p | 19:00 |
| jmagunduni1 | kbmonkey: dont worry thanks for trying , I will try to Log a call at the Ubuntu forums. | 19:01 |
| jmagunduni1 | :-) | 19:01 |
| Kilos | just use synaptic to reinstall every network related | 19:02 |
| superfly | heh. the ubuntu forums are even less helpful, and full of people who don't know what they're talking about. | 19:02 |
| kbmonkey | I never got bluetooth working either, guess yu got further than I did with that. I use usb cables for that :) | 19:02 |
| jmagunduni1 | superfly: hehe | 19:02 |
| kbmonkey | is there not a setting for your connection to reconnect when if drops? | 19:03 |
| Kilos | ya its in nm | 19:03 |
| jmagunduni1 | Guys last week i struggled to get my Skype video to work, and then i went through some forums ,got the solution and now its working perfectly :-). so i am sure that the answer to my problem is lying somewhere in the internet , I guess I have to dig deeper.:-( | 19:10 |
| Kilos | you will find in synaptic most packages have small downloads still to get | 19:11 |
| Kilos | updates most likely | 19:11 |
| Kilos | so first do sudo apt-get update | 19:11 |
| kbmonkey | how is the connection quality jmagunduni1 ? | 19:14 |
| Kilos | and reinstalling does all the configuring for you | 19:14 |
| jmagunduni1 | kbmonkey:very good I download large files , Skype etc . | 19:15 |
| kbmonkey | but it disconnects randomly? | 19:17 |
| jmagunduni1 | kbmonkey: after an Hour or so.. | 19:18 |
| Kilos | night all. sleep tight | 19:18 |
| kbmonkey | nite Kilos | 19:18 |
| Kilos | jmagunduni1, good luck | 19:18 |
| jmagunduni1 | kilos: Thank you for giving me a helping, you are the reason i love/use open source software.the spirit of Community . | 19:18 |

| Kilos | you welcome soory i couldnt help more | 19:19 |
| Kilos | sorry | 19:19 |

| jmagunduni1 | Kilos: cheers! | 19:19 |
| jmagunduni1 | kbmonkey: yes maybe i should start using ADSL.. | 19:20 |
| kbmonkey | I wish for that too :) | 19:21 |
| jmagunduni1 | kbmonkey: hehe :-D.which version of Ubuntu are you using? | 19:23 |
| kbmonkey | the last version I have is 12.04 jmagunduni1, but currently I am using crunchbang linux | 19:24 |
| kbmonkey | It is essentially Debian with the Openbox window manager | 19:25 |
