Kilosi dont understand what its trying to do13:54
Kiloshi Trixar_za 13:54
Trixar_zaHey Kilos13:54
SuperhumanI think Trixar_za just killed a kitten for mentioning that thing13:54
Trixar_zaYeah, I saw it on the mailing list13:55
Trixar_zaWe get Apache HTTPd with .NET extensions on Windows, why would you want to use that insecure mess? :P13:55
Superhumanbecause they don't know of any better13:56
KilosSuperhuman, please just tell me again how to let the tablet use my pcs 3g connection14:02
SuperhumanOk, get a wifi router (or wifi modem, but they are more expensive ). Connect the router to the pc via LAN cable, and use the pc as the gateway. You can setup dhcp on either the wifi router, or via the pc.14:04
SuperhumanGateway setup can be done via IPTables Masquerading.14:04
Superhumanbasically packet forwarding by the firewall.14:05
Kilosi have it and it connects to pc with eth cable14:05
Kilosi dont know how to do anything on the router14:05
Kilosbut pc shows its connected14:06
SuperhumanOk basically, the easiest would be dhcp setup on the pc. So that when the tablet connects to wifi, it gets assigned an IP by the dhcp server (pc)14:07
SuperhumanUbuntu pc?14:07
Kilosi didnt get a book with it and the online manual link dont work14:07
Kilosyip 12.0414:07
SuperhumanWhat make and model is the wifi?14:08
SuperhumanOk Guide to setup for dhcp server: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html14:08
Kilosbillion  7300 nx14:09
Kilosty14:09
SuperhumanI'm assuming the problem is the wifi router setup, correct?14:09
Kilosi know nothing about it, ive setup my nm to do dhcp automatic14:10
Superhumannm?14:11
Kilostablet sees it but cant use the 3g connection14:11
Kilosnetwork manager14:11
Superhumanah ok.14:11
Kiloslet me see what that link says14:11
Superhumansomething we can try, on the tablet settings for wifi connections, set the gateway to the pcs ip.14:11
Kilosi might have to install something here14:11
SuperhumanMaybe we're lucky and the ip the billion has is the same range as the pcs.14:12
Kiloswhere do you find these settings14:12
SuperhumanOk, this is going to complicate things...lets get into the billion, and do the setup correctly.14:13
Kilostomorrow is fine if you prefer14:14
Kilosanytime tomorrow14:14
Kilosyou near hometime now arent you14:15
SuperhumanI'm leaving work at 16:30. But I'll log in from home at around 18:00.14:15
Trixar_zaI wonder if you use the free data before your real data or if it's afterwards like the free airtime14:15
Trixar_zaI got an sms that with every R50 recharged they give you 50 free sms and 50MB data14:15
Kilosthats fine ty Superhuman 14:15
Kiloswhat isp Trixar_za 14:16
Trixar_za8ta14:16
Kilosi dont get that free stuff14:16

Superhumanwhat is your lan ip for the pc?14:18
Kilosi dunno anymore14:18
SuperhumanMaaz: remind me about http://issuu.com/fanusvanstraten/docs/billion-bipac-7300nx-router page 2714:18
MaazSuperhuman: Excuse me?14:18
SuperhumanKilos: ifconfig in command line, look for eth0 or eth1.14:19
Kilosinet address is 10.42.0.1 14:20
Superhumanmmm, is there a reason for being set to that (to use on another network or something)14:20
Superhuman?14:20
Kilosnope thats what it did when i installed14:21
Kilosuse to have 192.168. o.0 i think14:21
SuperhumanOk, can you set it to 192.168.1.1 for this? It will make things LOADS better. So that the pc has a static IP.14:22
Kilosok ill do that in nm14:22
Superhumancool. That's for the LAN cable connection, so we know how/where to connect to.14:23
SuperhumanThat will be the gateway IP the tablet uses when it connects.14:23
Kilosgateway the same14:23
Kilos?14:24
Superhumanno gateway address...I think...maybe 127.0.0.114:24
Kiloswill put that in14:24
Kilosok done i restart everything before you come on tonight14:25
Superhumanok cool.14:28
Kilosi dunno how to download that manual14:28
SuperhumanI'm trying now, but it's taking forever. I'll check on the download later, and share a new link with you.14:29
Kilosok ty14:29
SuperhumanOk, I'm off for now. Will be back at 6.14:29
Kiloslater14:30
SuperhumanKilos: Take a look at Page 27 on the doc (online reader). We will need to reset the wifi router to factory settings, so we can get into it via the browser on the pc.14:30
Superhumanthe red box explains how to reset it to factory settings.14:31

not_foundunity is dead... it is no more...16:18
Superhumanmaybe the install for the dhcp server broke something...16:18
Cantideunity is dead?16:20
Cantidewhat about unity 8?16:20
not_foundunity 8 is in space... Mir to be exact :p16:23

Cantidewinter is here '-';;;16:33
Cantidebut yeah, i think we really need to wait for 14.04 to see what it'll be like16:33
Cantide13.10 will run Mir by default, but i don't expect it to be a smooth experience16:33
Cantidewatch this: http://ubuntuonair.com/16:34
not_found13.10 will be running XMir if I am not mistaken...16:43
Cantideah16:44
Cantidexmir :p16:44
Cantideright16:44
Cantidei was a bit confused by what i said, and i started looking for more info >.<16:44

not_foundunity 7 running on xmir16:45
Cantideoh yeah16:45
Cantidesame link16:45
Cantidemine just has rss info in it16:45
not_found:p16:46
Cantidebut read the article16:46
Cantide"But while Mir and XMir will be shipping in October’s release by default, not everyone will be able to use it."16:46
Cantideit implies both Mir and XMir will be running16:46
Cantidedoesn't quite make sense -.-16:46
Cantideso i am confused -.-16:46
not_foundread whole article and it doesn't mention mir once... only xmir and normal x for fallback16:46
Cantideoh oh oh16:46
Cantideno no16:46
Cantideafaik16:46
Cantideit is running Mir16:47
Cantidebut because Unity 7 was written for X16:47
CantideXMir must be used to provide Unity 716:47
Cantidemaybe i'm misunderstanding, but that's really the impression i get16:47
not_foundbut still with xmir in bewteen.... seems like16:47
not_foundno native mir / unity 816:48
not_foundI have been following this and the whole wayland debacle and can't make head or tales of it still....16:48
Cantideyeah16:48
Cantidewell, when unity 8 is ready then it will be much better16:48
Cantidebut that will probably be for 14.04 only16:49
not_foundwhat exactly mir / wayland does still confuses me (one thing I read still has x doing most of the work and mir / wayland not so much)16:49
not_foundI thought x would be replaced completely but doesn't seem so16:49
Cantidehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_server16:49
Cantideoh16:49
Cantidei think x will be replaced completely, but it will take some time16:50
Cantideit's a huge piece of software that does many things16:50
Cantideso to replace it isn't easy16:50
Cantidei think that's why we have new software coming through, but providing compatibility (XMir) for programs written for X16:50
Cantideuntil all programs have been written for the new display servers we're bound to encounter X and / or compatibility layers16:51
not_foundthen mir is in trouble as no other project seems to care about it ... it is all wayland currently... except if canonical will make all apps compatible16:52
tumbleweedXMir is just a driver for X, so X can run on Mir16:52
tumbleweedfor now, Mir is a system-level compositor16:53
Cantidetumbleweed to the rescue :)16:53
Cantidenot_found, i'm not sure about that - Mir has different goals to Wayland - it's just that Wayland is targeting pretty much everything and suits a broader market16:54
CantideMir may be ideal for many others, but it needs to mature first16:54
not_foundsounds exciting and greek...16:55
tumbleweedMir and Wayland have very similar goals, as far as I can see16:56
tumbleweedjust slightly different implementation16:56
tumbleweedand Mir (at least initially) will only have X and Unity on top of it16:56
tumbleweedunless Mir takes off16:56
Cantidei thought Mir was going for the streamlined approach - only offering so much as is needed for Ubuntu (Touch)16:57
Cantideand that Wayland was trying to cater to everything and operating systems in general16:57
tumbleweedyes16:57
tumbleweedalthough, the Mir people seem to be keen for people to start using Mir16:58
tumbleweedso that any requirements non-Unity clients have can be dealt with before the design stabilises too much16:59
Cantideoh, that makes a lot of sense :)17:01
Cantidechatting to 민아 now... so kinda AFK >.<17:01
not_foundwell I will watch form the side lines and see...17:07
Cantideyeah, me, too17:09

Superhumanand no dns...18:25
Kilosok18:25
Superhumanso just ip, broadcast and netmask18:25
Kilosok18:26
Superhumanthat should give u an ip on the eth0 otput...18:26

Superhumanlets reboot the router, and cnnect it up gain on the lan cable.18:27
Superhumandamn keyboard misses keys..18:28
