[08:13] good and you? [08:14] good ty [09:40] yo yo === Spaceghost is now known as Guest67066 === Guest67066 is now known as Spaceghost [15:27] Kilos: and why you so quiet today? [15:27] good afternoon [15:28] hi inetpro no good head day but also trying to find how the tethering thing works [15:28] hi neo31 and others [15:29] eish [15:29] sorry oom [15:29] sis got a tab with no 3g so we trying to use my old nokia n900 i think it is [15:30] tethering is really simple, all you need is a device that can do it [15:30] dis die lewe maar nou ja [15:30] time to get a cheap android phone man [15:30] i find the wireless stuff on the fone but cant see tethering anywhere [15:31] hopefully i get a wireless card for the pc tuesday if she goes out [15:31] then will try tether the tablet and the pc [15:31] Kilos: nee man [15:32] wat nou [15:33] you should get a 2nd hand 3g wireless router [15:33] try [15:33] many people must have upgraded already [15:33] especially those with uncapped lite from MTN [15:34] that was a 2 year contract with a modem for free [15:34] if the old nokia can do wifi surely the tablet should see it and vice versa [15:35] and a renewed contract includes another better router [15:35] Kilos: nope [15:35] oh [15:35] Kilos: those nokias were very dumb [15:36] Kilos: unless it was one of those clever smartphones like the fly had [15:36] i can get a wireless card for 250 then my pc can also do wireless [15:36] oh no its old man [15:37] first fones that opened with querty keypad i think [15:37] Kilos: but here's what I'm saying, a 3g router can handle both cable and wireless [15:37] ya but what about my pc then [15:37] I mean a proper 3g router [15:38] your pc can connect to it via cable [15:38] oh [15:38] you must get a decent 3g router that is like a switch [15:38] and includes wireless [15:39] i think i asked here before what they cost and someone said about 1k [15:39] the new ones yes [15:39] thats too much for sis to see her mail and get some books [15:40] but hence me saying, we must try find someone who has renewed his contract and got a new one [15:40] oh [15:40] those things will keep working for many years [15:41] the new ones are faster, but [15:41] you really don't need faster [15:41] no [15:41] the faster it goes the more data it eats for breakfast [15:41] hi adeebnqo [15:41] hey [15:42] hi adeebnqo [15:43] lol this feels like that awkward moment when yu enter a room and everyone is lookin' at u [15:43] hehe welcome to ubuntu-za [15:44] this is the za community linux/ubuntu help channel [15:44] if you need help just state what the prob is [15:44] * inetpro turning around to look at adeebnqo again [15:44] lol [15:46] adeebnqo: you've come to the right place, I think [15:47] so inetpro how come fone and tablet dont see each other? is wifi wifi [15:47] ot they talk different languages [15:47] :) I come here once in a while -- I must say, this is the first time I've seen any activity [15:47] hmm... [15:48] hehe adeebnqo the guys all work. and help when they have time [15:48] but im here most of the time for basic stuffs [15:50] Kilos: well you always need one network resource to act as a wifi access point [15:50] and access point is tyocally called a hotspot [15:51] typically [15:51] so if i put an adapter in pc it can be a hotspot for her [15:52] all modern software is already in ubuntu surely [15:52] Kilos: if you get the right adapter I guess yes [15:52] uh oh [15:52] are they like graphics cards [15:54] Kilos: I've never used an adapter directly like that but I'm guessing there should be adapters that you can plug into your usb port [15:54] ya and the one im after goes in pci socket [15:55] with little aerial outside [15:55] Kilos: where do you find that? [15:55] you lappy peeps forget desktops got lotsa place for adapters [15:56] Kilos : since you're here now. I have a problem, I'm trying to install "af" for appfrog --- I'm behind a proxy. The cmd `sudo gem install -p http:localhost:3128 af` spits out the ff error : http://pastebay.net/1244447 [15:56] the pc shop off van der hoff [15:56] I also ran across this https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/557 , any ideas? [15:56] Kilos: you have a model name/number ? [15:56] I should mention, I use cntlm [15:57] nope inetpro [15:58] adeebnqo, hang here one of the knowledgable guys will help when they get a chance [15:58] adeebnqo, is that in the repos? [15:59] adeebnqo: what is af? [16:00] oh wait [16:01] sudo apt-get install gem [16:01] adeebnqo: try the following: [16:01] export http_proxy=http://localhost:3128 [16:01] gem is in the repos [16:02] Kilos: I think he has gem installed already [16:02] sudo gem install -p dont that need apt-get or aptitude [16:04] Kilos: no [16:04] oh my [16:05] Kilos: a gem is a packaged Ruby application or library [16:06] Kilos: a gem is a packaged Ruby application or library [16:06] i see gem in synaptic so thought it would need an apt command from cli [16:06] Gem is a loadable library for puredata, which adds OpenGL graphics rendering [16:06] and animation to Pd. Pd is a graphical programming language and computer [16:06] music system. [16:07] why you repeated that inetpro ? [16:07] oops... sorry for the duplicate [16:07] lol [16:07] * inetpro 's internet is unstable all of a sudden [16:07] i thought you were trying to prove a point [16:08] hehe [16:08] hi Cantide [16:08] hello :) [16:08] hi superfly [16:12] adeebnqo: according to documentation the following syntax should work as well [16:12] gem install --http-proxy http://COMPANY.PROXY.ADDRESS $gem_name [16:13] tried that and it didnt work [16:16] adeebnqo: obviously you should have a working proxy at http://localhost listening on port 3128 with access to the internet [16:19] I do, i give up. [16:22] adeebnqo: you're running on Ubuntu? [16:22] Xubuntu [16:23] why do you have your proxy on localhost? [16:25] as opposed to do doin' what? [16:27] I'm a bit confused by yur qn [16:27] if you have a proxy on your local machine then why need a proxy at all? [16:30] why are you behind a proxy? Surely if you're inside a company network you don't need a proxy server on localhost [16:31] oh no, I use cntlm. the real proxy configuration is in some file -- cntlm requires me to use localhost:3128 and it handles everything else [16:33] ahh sounds interesting, so your cntlm is talking to a upstream proxy? [16:34] s/upstream/parent/ [16:35] yup -- I'm installing the gem manually now. guess I have to bare the burden of trying to satisfy dependecies myself [16:39] the list isn;t that long : http://pastebay.net/1244458 [16:41] stupid question wont synaptic or aptitude solve them auto matically the you configure it after? [16:42] adeebnqo: put the following line in a file /etc/apt/apt.conf [16:42] Acquire::http::Proxy "http://localhost:3128"; [16:43] then just use apt-get or aptitude for your installations [16:44] or even synaptic for that matter [16:46] :) I've already downloaded and installed a bunch of the gems -- I afraid what yu just suggested might work, I don't wanna do it. [16:47] hehe [16:50] yu guys got github accounts? [16:57] hi Kilos [16:57] at times you gotta wait long for replies adeebnqo guys have families to sort as well [17:19] adeebnqo: those dependencies look like normal packages and not like gems [17:20] i'm a ruby noob:), i wouldnt know the diffrnc. I managed to install it though -- we up and running now [17:21] well done [17:22] Kilos: looks like every 8ta user is trying to use as much data as possible tonight [17:22] lol [17:22] mine xpires end of next month [17:23] my connection has been good today [17:23] ek sukkel [17:25] ai! [17:36] inetpro, did you read what 8ta replied to my queries [17:37] Kilos: no [17:38] they upgraded my tower to 10m and now gonna do a firmware upgrade to 30m to the tower [17:39] TM-SOC mail and query why yours is so bad [17:39] after my first mail things got better again [17:40] that was after first mail [17:40] Customer location:-25.7126, 28.04707. [17:40] From CHR trace, customer is served with stable and strong signal from site (NER_Moot_Chickens), Cell ID=12574, RSCP -70, Ec/No -4, TP=3. [17:40] Per description of problem that indicates a reference to previous incident 3382229, site has been upgraded, but there is iub limitation found on site (12mb). Site needs iub upgrade. [17:41] then i asked is it a hardware upgrade needed and they replied [17:41] This will be a firmware to the tower upgrade . [17:41] Once this is done , feedback will be provided to you. [17:41] inetpro, ^^ [17:42] mine is lekker again [17:42] Kilos: oh cool [17:43] if you dont query they think you are happy with the connection === space is now known as Guest77126 [17:56] Kilos: it's just this evening [17:56] other days I have been very stable [17:56] ok [17:56] but slow [17:56] I just tweaked my antenna cable a bit, think it might have been a bit loose [17:57] what antenna cable?
