[06:24] hi mazal [06:25] disk usage analyser? [06:25] I want something that runs permanently [06:26] Like a little indicator app [06:26] what does google say [06:27] Maaz, google disk usage indicator on ubuntu [06:27] Kilos: "What Application Indicators are available? - Ask Ubuntu" http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available :: "indicator - disk usage statistics tools - Ask Ubuntu" http://askubuntu.com/questions/296911/disk-usage-statistics-tools :: "10 Awesome Indicator Applets for Ubuntu's Unity Desktop" http://www.howtogeek.com/118908/10 [06:27] -awesome-indicator-applets-for-ubuntus-unity-desktop/ :: "10 Useful Application Indicators fo… [06:27] So far only ones that shows activity like indicator-multiload for example [06:28] Maaz, google 10 Awesome Indicator Applets for Ubuntu's Unity Desktop [06:28] Kilos: "10 Awesome Indicator Applets for Ubuntu's Unity Desktop" http://www.howtogeek.com/118908/10-awesome-indicator-applets-for-ubuntus-unity-desktop/ :: "10 Awesome Indicator Applets for Ubuntu's Unity Desktop | Ubuntu ..." http://www.ubuntu-news.net/2012/07/17/10-awesome-indicator-applets-for-ubuntus-unity-desktop/ :: "Top 10 Ubuntu 11.04 Unity Panel Applets - [06:28] Softpedia News" http://news.softpedia.com/news/Top-10-Ubuntu-11-04-Unity-Panel-Applets-20… [06:29] isnt there one in that ten [06:29] Going through them now [06:30] i dunno if peeps worry about things like that with all the big drives available [06:33] My / partition not that big , like to keep an eye on it [06:34] size? [06:34] I wonder if a simple script using df -h > sometextfile.txt that runs with cron will work [06:34] Then just needs to remember to check the file regularly lol [06:36] If I could figure out a way to mail the file to myself that would be nice [06:37] hehe [06:42] Sharp , got it in cron to run every evening , now how to get it to mail that file to myself ? [06:42] whew you clever hey [06:43] why you ask me for help [06:43] Nah , I'm not clever lol [06:43] That command just struck me as we used it a while back on our server [06:45] Now I need a really nice idea how to make that file draw my attention and not forget about it [06:46] haha [06:51] How about adding a command for gedit to open the file when it's created ? [06:51] Then in theory it should just pop up [06:57] sharp , it works. Now will just wait and see when cron runs it if it also works then [07:12] good morning all [07:13] mazal can you put all the scripting you use to do all that up on a pastebin or something, i would appreciate it. [07:13] hi magespawn [07:14] how are things this saturday Kilos ? [07:15] ok ty magespawn android be stupid, it cant see a formatted ide drive [07:16] do they list any restictions on the website? [07:17] found one that says you must first boot from another os poppy or something and use that insatller [07:17] plop [07:17] ? i forget [07:18] well that could also explain why the iso is small, it might need the underlying os to run [07:19] it looks for some android drive to install to [07:20] if i boot from the live cd and plug in a stick with android on it sees it immediately [07:20] but not the hdd [07:20] you cant copy the android to the harddrive? [07:21] im thinking of connecting the drive here through usb adapter and putting it on there with unetbootin [07:21] nope i tried [07:22] you can try running it from the usb if you want, i have done that with ubuntu [07:22] ill find a way around it. just takes lotsa time [07:22] ya but i dont wanna mess here too much [07:23] want android apart on other pc [07:23] got a 40g drive ill use [07:23] ahh well, we wouldn't want life to be too easy now would we [07:23] hahaha [07:24] Morning magespawn [07:24] It's so short I can paste here [07:24] Just 2 command [07:24] sssssssssssss [07:24] commandssssssssssssssssssssss [07:25] Shees I spell terrible :P [07:25] coop mazal [07:25] lol [07:25] or type terrible [07:25] That to [07:25] tooooo ai !!

[07:49] Looks like it's something that resolved incoming ip's to country names [07:56] no idea mazal [07:57] I found some info , it tells php from which country a visitor is so you can create multi language web sites. [07:57] Now I wonder why is it on my pc. Needs to be on a server [07:58] localised for each visitor [07:58] Every startup I get the "Ubuntu experienced a critical error" and that app is the cause [07:58] do they do that by ip or by pulling info from the users pc and/or browser [07:58] it'll be IP [07:59] By ip , didn't read much. But it seems there is a ip database you add and configure for it [07:59] if that is all it is doing then it should be safe to remove [07:59] It's possible to determine which ip is assigned in which country [07:59] doesn't always work too well though [08:00] If you google an address, you could even find it [08:00] Gonna remove it [08:00] Hope I don't break anything [08:00] at one stage whenever i used my cell c the sites thought i was in west africa somewhere [08:00] one way to find out [08:02] It works with geoclue it seems [08:02] I wonder if any of my apps are using this [08:03] " GeoClue provides applications access to various geographical information [08:03] sources using a D-Bus API or a C library. [08:03] This package provides a positioning backend for GeoClue. [08:03] It uses the IP geolocation database (http://geoip.ubuntu.com/lookup)" [08:20] hi AndChat-503424 [08:20] magespawn, inetbootin dont see a hdd in a usb bridge [08:21] * Kilos cries [08:22] haha its you Squirm [08:24] it wants to see usb flash not a hdd on a bridge [08:30] meh [08:30] went out onto the field, so wifi was on and off [08:31] crashed my R/C plane :/ [08:31] apoxy should work though [08:31] I'm annoyed [08:31] ouch, damaged? [08:32] bad? [08:32] doesn't seem that bad [08:32] like I said, apoxy should work [08:32] ...I hope [08:33] eish [08:33] go win that chopper and nexus [08:33] you have the chopper ill have the nexus [08:39] https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-r0gtkzUiGJs/UWbAduPS5zI/AAAAAAAAAVc/cN_37sGlMCE/w872-h654-no/20130327_170810.jpg [08:46] hmm... [08:46] hate it when using usbs it kills my 3g [08:56] * mazal fiddles [08:56] hmm... installing from 2g flash onto a 4g flash [08:58] failed to create data.image [08:58] grrr [08:58] You installing Ubuntu to a flash drive Kilos ? [08:58] no android-x86 [08:59] trying anyway [08:59] eish now it says warning--not an asus product [08:59] sigh [09:00] Sounds challenging [09:00] yeah [09:01] 3 days struggling [09:01] I'm in the mood for something new on that spare partition , but dunno what [09:01] Used K , X and L before. Want to play with something else [09:01] try android for pc [09:01] hehe [09:01] Nooooooooo [09:02] Ek willie sukkel nie , ek wil speel :) [09:02] lol [09:03] ill work it out then tell you how [09:03] Do they give it for free ? [09:03] ya its linux [09:04] Then why did so many phone manufacturers blame their high prices on " Cos it has Android " [09:04] maybe the further developement or just because peeps are money mad [09:04] android as far as i know has always been foss [09:05] they do not need to develope it any further, they get a os that they customise to their hardware for nothing [09:05] Gmf , just shows you [09:06] Is it this site Kilos http://www.android-x86.org/ ? [09:06] sec ill look [09:06] actually wait [09:08] i had a page with lotsa info and links [09:08] LOL I love yhis statement on that site " If you are lucky, the installation will begin, and you will see the progress bar. " [09:09] Oops I see it can't install on a drive with another os [09:09] ya they say it can [09:09] Or yes you can , but then have to add them manually in grub [09:11] Hmm , this will be nice toy for a seperate hard drive. Or stick like you are doing [09:12] this was one place i looked [09:12] for if it dont see hdd [09:12] http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=86514&sid=b293ac1a004cc7772ec019b11a055b13 [09:13] It looks like it only supports certain laptops and motherboards though [09:13] The iso's even contain the manufacturer names [09:13] it seems to love usb goodies [09:14] there is a smaller iso that dont have the asus in [09:14] 76m or something [09:14] the asus one is 186m [09:16] let me know if you find one without a manufacturers name in [09:18] I found one , but it's in the development section [09:19] android-x86-4.2-20130228.iso [09:19] size? [09:19] Found that one [09:19] Dunno if it means anything to you [09:20] 196mb [09:20] ya no manufacturers name in [09:20] ill get it tonight if i can stay awake ty [09:20] whats the link [09:20] https://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/android-x86-4.2-20130228.iso [09:21] ty [09:21] I just saw it's the same link the guy in that post you refered has [09:21] maybe you need a generic [09:22] whats that [09:22] I'm downloading it and gonna boot it live cd and see what happens [09:23] ok [09:23] You get error complaining about manufacturer ne ? [09:23] well i would assume the ones with a manufacturers name in it has been customised for those machines [09:24] we need to find a plain one [09:25] might even work if you have a touch screeen [09:32] We'll see what this dev one does [09:33] My pc mos seems very tempremental [09:33] http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/ [09:33] whats that [09:33] maybe there is one not specific to any pc make [09:33] That's where that one is lying that I gave you the link off [09:34] And description just say " live and installation " [09:34] Doesn't mention a manufacturer [09:34] eish we gotta find one not for asus [09:34] Hang on oom , that one is downloading here [09:35] ok [09:35] ETA 17 min , then gonna burn and boot [09:40] lets hope [09:43] the asus one is just a waste of dat [09:43] grrr [09:43] 7min [09:51] burning [09:51] hmm... [09:52] It's 197mb sorry , not 196 [09:52] np [09:52] what you burn with? [09:52] Brasero [09:52] i prefer k3b [09:53] I use k3b for data [09:53] was a reason for it a while back but i forgot what [09:53] Brasero mess up data disks , but is fine for iso's [09:53] verify function maybe [09:54] and it makes them smaller i think [09:54] Smaller ? [09:54] ya less data [09:54] Ok , I'm booting ;) [09:55] i wanted to burn an iso to cd and brasero said cd too small and k3b worked [09:55] Will report back [09:55] ok [09:59] i wonder if he will get back here on the android [09:59] lol [09:59] andchat is the built in irc client [10:00] would be cool to have one interface across all devices [10:01] gotta go out bbl [10:01] yeah [10:03] hi Xethron [10:05] Doesn't work Kilos [10:06] Just hangs [10:06] aw same thing?? [10:06] oh my [10:06] Comes up with the cd menu , I chose live mode. Decompressing kernel and then nothing further [10:06] try that other installer [10:06] Tried again and chose live mode vesa , same result [10:06] thats when it doesnt see the hdd [10:07] You want me to see if I put it on usb stick and boot usb ? [10:07] the minute i plug in a stick it sees it [10:07] Hello Kilos [10:11] we onna android mission [10:11] Putting the iso on usb now [10:11] Then gonna try booting with that [10:12] enetbootin? [10:12] unetbootin [10:12] unetbootin [10:12] ya [10:12] ah [10:12] Ok done [10:12] Rebooting [10:21] Nope [10:21] Same thing , just hangs [10:21] On both live mode and live vesa mode [10:21] So decided to try the install [10:22] thats what i did but it says warning not an asus goodie [10:22] Install went through successfully to another usb stick. But upon rebooting just get the error no operating system [10:22] maybe bad download [10:22] No asus warnings though [10:22] Or any other manufacturer warnings [10:22] you need to tell bios to boot from usb [10:23] when you got big downloads use wget [10:23] Ya I know [10:23] as in wget https://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/android-x86-4.2-20130228.iso [10:23] if your net drops y6ou use wget -c to continue [10:23] ah [10:24] I think is a matter of thei installer not installing grub correctly [10:24] i tried that link with browser and at 5meg it started over [10:24] grrr [10:24] Gonna try once more with a different usb [10:24] Just to make sure it's not the stick [10:35] hi nlsthzn [10:36] hello uncle Kilos , how r u? [10:36] ok ty nlsthzn and you [10:36] ok... looking forward to the game tonight... [10:36] yeah [10:36] go sharks [10:37] hehe [10:37] lol [10:38] lets hope not :p [10:38] Doesn't work Kilos [10:38] haha [10:38] Installer runs through fine , even sees all my inter drives [10:38] mazal, i get that iso as 206 meg [10:38] But upon rebooting , operating system missing [10:38] Their stuff just don't work [10:38] Or don't want to be installed to usb [10:39] In nautilus it's 206.6 yes [10:39] you dont have the full iso mazal [10:39] oh [10:40] Remember ubuntu shows the different varient of size [10:40] eish well im gonna try it now [10:40] I dunno if one will have better luck installing to hdd [10:41] try [10:41] But then your current grub will be gone [10:41] it might just update it who knows [10:41] Don't want it to mess with that [10:41] not on working drive no [10:42] No they specifically say it installs grub only for android not for any other os on the drive [10:42] it should ask if you wanna install grub and you tick skip [10:42] But from what I see , their grub install fails completely [10:43] The stick has the android data after install , but won't boot. Doesn't see there is an os [10:45] There is something it MIGHT be though [10:45] But don't have time to test now [10:46] It might be that it uses dev names and when rebooting and removing the "iso usb" the one that remains have different dev name [10:47] yeah /dev/sde1 here [10:52] Will test when I have time , visitors here now. Gonna install from cd so that dev name don't change [11:08] meh [11:08] fixed it up [11:08] 1s flight time and a crash :/ [11:09] ai! === space is now known as Guest2880 === Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za [11:37] mazal, http://www.android-x86.org/documents/installhowto === jeandre is now known as theblazehen [11:46] hi theblazehen [11:46] hi kilos === Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za [12:40] Kilos , neewat dit werk nie [12:40] i get as far as run [12:40] Their grub install doesn't work [12:40] but it dont run [12:41] Same here , if I choose to run it immediately after install it just hangs [12:41] When booting doesn't see the os [12:41] than i get only a flashing - on a black screen [12:41] grrr [12:42] They have a lot of work still to make it work [12:42] yeah looks like [12:42] but some of them have it working on pcs [12:42] thatgreameguy got it running in virtual box [12:45] ah well, we wouldn't want life to be too easy now, would we? [12:45] lol [12:49] Maybe it only wants to run of sda1 , I dunno [12:49] But the fact that the live cd doesn't even start is already not a good sign [12:51] magespawn, I see crontab doesn't allow gedit to run [12:51] For some reason [12:51] i think it only sees guid not mbr drives [12:52] That script was set for 13:30 with me , the file is created but gedit never opened [12:52] But if works when running the script manually [12:56] wonder why? [13:10] let me google [13:11] mazal: users and x servers [13:11] mazal: press Ctrl+Alt+F2 and login there. then try running your command [13:13] magespawn, I think I found why [13:14] The terminal that invokes gedit are holding it , so when you close the terminal gedit also closes [13:14] Tested it running manually and that's exactly what happens [13:14] So my thinking , when cron runs it , no terminal is open so gedit immediately closes again [13:14] I added & disown at the end of the gedit line [13:15] Now when I run it manually and close the terminal it stays open [13:15] Will see if that helps for when cron runs it [13:16] superfly, it runs fine in a terminal in the unity desktop and creates the file , it just doesn't keep gedit open when cron runs it [13:17] mazal: there's a huge difference between the terminal in Unity and running from cron [13:17] That's what I'm trying to figure out superfly [13:17] mazal: which is why I told you to switch to a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and then run it [13:18] I don't want to run it manually [13:18] and why are you running gedit from cron?! [13:18] That way I will always have to run manually [13:18] how do you get back from tty? [13:18] mazal: yes, but you'll never discover what the problem is unless you use the same environment as cron [13:18] in other words, Ctrl+Alt+F2 [13:18] magespawn: Ctrl+Alt+F7 [13:18] ok [13:18] cool [13:18] the GUI is just another tty [13:18]
