psyatw | hi maiatoday | 08:29 |
Kilos | hi psyatw | 08:29 |
Kilos | im heading for a fresh install looks like. unity went slow and started hanging every now and again | 08:30 |
Kilos | so back on old faithful maverick to try an fsck from here and maybe a bad block check | 08:31 |
Squirm | morning | 08:33 |
Kilos | hi Squirm | 08:33 |
ThatGraemeGuy | Kilos! | 08:33 |
Kilos | /usr/bin even lost sudo | 08:33 |
Kilos | hi ThatGraemeGuy | 08:33 |
ThatGraemeGuy | man i've never reinstalled windows as many times as you've installed ubuntu :-o | 08:34 |
ThatGraemeGuy | :-p | 08:34 |
Kilos | hahaha yeah it could be old drives | 08:34 |
Kilos | this was a discard others couldnt fix | 08:35 |
psyatw | morning Squirm | 08:35 |
psyatw | hi ThatGraemeGuy | 08:35 |
psyatw | hahaha | 08:35 |
Kilos | but 500g so i dont wanna lose it | 08:35 |
ThatGraemeGuy | 'lo 'lo 'lo :-) | 08:35 |
psyatw | normally I only re-install Ubuntu/Kubuntu when moving from one version to another | 08:36 |
psyatw | but re-installing Windows, I must have done that hundreds of times by now | 08:36 |
Kilos | everything was good last night but it doesnt even see my kubuntu drive this morning | 08:37 |
Kilos | also you guys know what you are doing. i learn to forget to learn | 08:38 |
psyatw | we have messed up our linux systems hundreds of times as well, that´s how we learned | 08:42 |
Kilos | you ever used a command like this | 08:46 |
Kilos | sudo fsck.ext4 -cDfty -C 0 /dev/sdb1 | 08:46 |
Kilos | it checks for bad blocks | 08:46 |
Kilos | then gives an output like http://slexy.org/view/s21W1goIAk | 08:52 |
Kilos | whatever that might mean | 08:53 |
Kilos | i go see if its fixed | 08:57 |
Kilos | wbb | 08:57 |
Kilos | well! its working so far | 09:09 |
Kilos | Maaz, coffee on | 09:09 |
* Maaz flips the salt-timer | 09:09 | |
Kilos | Maaz, and grandpa | 09:11 |
Maaz | ai! Kilos headache again? | 09:11 |
Kilos | Maaz, define inode | 09:13 |
Maaz | Kilos: I don't know about inode. Maybe you meant Node, Inde, Anode, Enode, node, anode or isode? | 09:13 |
Kilos | hmm... | 09:13 |
Maaz | Coffee's ready for Kilos! | 09:13 |
Kilos | Maaz, thanks | 09:13 |
Maaz | Kilos: Sure | 09:13 |
Kilos | ThatGraemeGuy, can you please give me that slexy.org link | 09:14 |
ThatGraemeGuy | eh? | 09:14 |
ThatGraemeGuy | http://slexy.org/ | 09:14 |
ThatGraemeGuy | that one? | 09:14 |
Kilos | just before i went off | 09:15 |
ThatGraemeGuy | o_O | 09:15 |
ThatGraemeGuy | oh | 09:15 |
ThatGraemeGuy | http://slexy.org/view/s21W1goIAk | 09:15 |
Kilos | i was on maverick now on unity | 09:15 |
Kilos | ty | 09:15 |
ThatGraemeGuy | np | 09:15 |
psyatw | an inode is an on-disk structure used by a filesystem to keep track of blocks of data belonging to a certain file or directory | 09:16 |
psyatw | AFAIK | 09:16 |
Kilos | so its part of the drive? not software | 09:17 |
Kilos | even slexy is starting to put adds in now | 09:18 |
Kilos | sigh | 09:18 |
Vince-0 | haai | 09:19 |
Kilos | i think that bad blocks command is similar to ms scandisk or chkdsk | 09:20 |
Kilos | marks bad sectors | 09:20 |
Squirm | Kilos: an inode is part of the patitioning scheme on the drive | 09:33 |
Kilos | ty Squirm | 09:33 |
Squirm | so it'll come with something like ext3/4 | 09:33 |
Kilos | looks like my /var/ was in a bad area or something because my /archives are gone | 09:34 |
Kilos | everything here is ext4 | 09:34 |
Kilos | wbb | 10:18 |
Squirm | anyone know of a cheap, international delivery company? | 10:23 |
Squirm | need something shipped to china | 10:23 |
mazal | Afternoon everyone | 10:59 |
Squirm | hello mazal | 10:59 |
Kilos | hi mazal | 10:59 |
mazal | How are you guys ? | 10:59 |
Kilos | cool ty and you? | 10:59 |
mazal | Good thanx | 10:59 |
Kilos | hi Xethron | 11:01 |
Kilos | mazal, jy sal jou eie nvidia kaart moet koop vir die werk pc as jy will jou externe skyf laat werk by altwee plekke | 11:03 |
Kilos | Maar laat hulle solank bestel | 11:03 |
Kilos | anders sukkel jy nog in ses maande tyd | 11:03 |
mazal | Neewat sal op die twee verskillendes werk tot 14.04 en hoop dit gaan beter dan | 11:04 |
mazal | Hopenlik verbeter die ati drywers | 11:04 |
mazal | Of unity | 11:04 |
Kilos | hehe ek dink dit sal altyd kwell to kaarte die selle is | 11:05 |
mazal | Unity het als moeiliker gemaak | 11:08 |
Kilos | stem | 11:08 |
mazal | Ek kannie onthou dat ek sulke graphic issues met gtk2 gehad het nie | 11:09 |
mazal | Ubuntu het eenvoudig gewerk op als | 11:09 |
Kilos | maar dit groei nog | 11:09 |
Kilos | hulle vat groot tree vorentoe, miskien om nuwe goed te begin voor ander | 11:10 |
mazal | Die probleem is die hele mobile met touchscreens craze. Unity is eintlik daarvoor begin | 11:12 |
mazal | Even Win 8 het agter dit aangegaan | 11:13 |
Kilos | ja mobile goed groei te vinnig en almal will deel wees daarvan | 11:13 |
mazal | Geen mobile device sal ooit die power en versatility en storage van 'n pc kan vervang nie. | 11:14 |
mazal | Die goed kom nie eers naby nie | 11:14 |
mazal | Dis net 'n " nice to have " , maar as dit kom by power en hard werk is pc baas | 11:14 |
Kilos | ek te dom met die nuwe goed | 11:15 |

mazal | Bye everyone , have a nice evening | 12:43 |
Kilos | musta been hard for afrikaans peeps to move into the pc world. its genetically inbred in them to fix things with blou draad en n tang | 15:45 |
nlsthzn | that's racist | 15:47 |
Kilos | hehe | 15:47 |
Kilos | sorry neelsie | 15:49 |
Kilos | i was expecting to be shot down in flames | 15:49 |
nlsthzn | :p I am not that easily offended, not much you can't fix with blou draad ;) | 15:50 |
Kilos | yeah | 15:50 |
Kilos | not with pcs anyway | 15:50 |
nlsthzn | the can keep your bits and pieces together :) | 15:50 |
Kilos | hehe | 15:51 |
Vince-0 | I used some draad just yesterday to fasten a heat-sink that didn't fit | 16:02 |
Kilos | hahaha | 16:02 |
nlsthzn | +1 | 16:02 |
Kilos | cable ties are the modern way and they are none conductive | 16:03 |
Vince-0 | ya but that's what the blou is for on the draad | 16:03 |
Vince-0 | used a cable tie as well | 16:04 |
nlsthzn | blou draar := draad me blou om | 16:04 |
nlsthzn | *draad | 16:05 |
Vince-0 | the blou being a plastic coating? | 16:06 |
Kilos | aha | 16:06 |

inetpro | those logos are outdated | 16:48 |
jhb_hacker | I agree | 16:49 |
jhb_hacker | I know a designer who would do it for us.... | 16:49 |
inetpro | jhb_hacker: for free? | 16:50 |
jhb_hacker | yes, for free | 16:51 |
inetpro | sounds interesting | 16:51 |
inetpro | jhb_hacker: so are those the kind that you are looking for? | 16:51 |
jhb_hacker | sure, I can convince the guy its not just me....then maybe we can make the design available to anyone for print | 16:53 |
Kilos | jhb_hacker, what do you do? | 16:56 |
Kilos | workwise that is | 16:56 |
jhb_hacker | web developer: python+java | 16:57 |

Kilos | wb Zarw | 17:03 |
Zarw | Ello | 17:04 |
jhb_hacker | Kilos: why did you choose ubuntu? | 17:11 |
Kilos | i got tired of all the hassles with ms and looked for an alternative and was given a cd with 8.04 on | 17:12 |
Kilos | but only got networking on 8.10 | 17:13 |
Kilos | i love ubuntu in unity and kde | 17:13 |
Kilos | and the friendly guys here that helped me through the learning curve | 17:16 |
magespawn | evening | 17:19 |
Kilos | hi magespawn | 17:19 |
jhb_hacker | Kilos: awesome, still remembr first time I got my hands on 8.04, canonical used to mail cd's w/ stickers | 17:21 |
Kilos | ya i got a few later from shipit i think it was | 17:22 |
jhb_hacker | Kilos: I felt like the coolest person alive...enjoyd using it in public..."whats that?, is that the new windows?"... | 17:24 |
Kilos | hahaha | 17:24 |
Kilos | but still dunno how you guys use ubuntu so long without getting here | 17:25 |
Kilos | i think i used 8.10 for 2 or three weeks then got here | 17:25 |
Kilos | and almost been here daily since | 17:26 |
Kilos | there are very clever peeps here | 17:26 |
jhb_hacker | Kilos: I guess I prefer breaking things... | 17:28 |
jhb_hacker | thats how I learn mostly | 17:28 |
Kilos | thyats why im here , to get help fixing what ive broken | 17:28 |
Kilos | if i say eish or ai! they already ask me what ive broken now | 17:29 |
Kilos | hehe | 17:29 |
jhb_hacker | hehe...I like the fact by using ubuntu, u get to know how operating systems really work, that control | 17:30 |
jhb_hacker | can nt be replaced | 17:30 |
Kilos | you havent tried kubuntu yet? | 17:31 |
jhb_hacker | not yet, | 17:32 |
Kilos | bit different but even more powerful imo | 17:33 |
jhb_hacker | cool, they use a different window manager right? | 17:35 |
Kilos | yeah | 17:35 |
magespawn | kde | 17:37 |
Kilos | jhb_hacker, magespawn is in hluhluwe | 17:39 |
jhb_hacker | right, I am not a big fan of kde...nothing against it, my first encounter with open os's was with gnome | 17:39 |
jhb_hacker | Kilos: thats sooo cool | 17:39 |
jhb_hacker | magespawn: hi there | 17:40 |
magespawn | hi jhb_hacker | 17:41 |
jhb_hacker | magespawn: to be honest, I wouldnt expect to find some1 from hluhluwe who z in to gnu/linux | 17:42 |
jhb_hacker | magespawn: thats so cool | 17:43 |
magespawn | long story really twisty story | 17:43 |
jhb_hacker | ... | 17:43 |

magespawn | jhb | 17:46 |
Kilos | jozi joller | 17:46 |
psychicist | hi magespawn | 17:46 |
jhb_hacker | I recently saw a "futuristic ubuntu theme" on youtube...the guy refuses to share the theme or a how-to | 17:48 |
jhb_hacker | https://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCsQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dqqxp9q5j-RA&ei=BDcBUqbVOoi2hQe83oB4&usg=AFQjCNE3ech-mAKWbSYwe5fFReSfxC_8dw&sig2=2J-CSizWj353uZsB57mvCw&bvm=bv.50310824,d.ZWU | 17:49 |
jhb_hacker | anyone know a theme similar to this? | 17:50 |
magespawn | Kilos that tool I was talking about yesterday is Tortilla Tool | 17:51 |
Kilos | hmm... | 17:51 |
Kilos | tool for? sorry i forget | 17:51 |
psychicist | hi jhb_hacker | 17:51 |
jhb_hacker | hi psychicist | 17:52 |
magespawn | the one that started the discussion around tor | 17:52 |
Kilos | aha | 17:52 |
Kilos | i nearly reinstalled today | 17:52 |
Kilos | but the bad block command fixed my unity | 17:53 |
superfly | jhb_hacker: impratical. you'd play with it for 10 minutes and then switch back to your normal theme because you need to Get Things Done | 18:10 |
Kilos | jhb_hacker, superfly is our resident python expert | 18:12 |
superfly | Kilos: "expert" is a strong word | 18:13 |
Kilos | cold there tomorrow superfly 13 C MAX | 18:13 |
Kilos | NBOT STRONG ENOUGH | 18:13 |
Kilos | NOT | 18:13 |
Kilos | sorry | 18:13 |
superfly | Kilos: oh really? I didn't even know what it was like where today until mrs_fly mentioned it in passing | 18:13 |
Kilos | yeah bad cold front and snow on the mountains | 18:14 |
Kilos | you sick superfly ? | 18:14 |
superfly | uhuh | 18:15 |
Kilos | ai! | 18:15 |
Kilos | yo neelsie | 18:17 |
nlsthzn | Wazzup uncle Kilos :) | 18:17 |
Kilos | temps down not up | 18:18 |
nlsthzn | that sucks | 18:18 |
Kilos | sigh | 18:18 |
Kilos | and snow on all the cape mountains and heading this way tomorrow | 18:18 |
Kilos | sigh | 18:18 |
nlsthzn | :( | 18:20 |
magespawn | superfly: if not you then who? maybe python cheerleader? | 18:32 |
Kilos | wb jhb_hacker | 18:32 |
superfly | magespawn: I know Python well, I know how to do things the Pythonic way, but I don't claim to be an expert | 18:32 |
Kilos | he is our master hey magespawn | 18:32 |
magespawn | indeed | 18:32 |
jhb_hacker | that's awesome, I will direct my python related questions to you | 18:34 |
jhb_hacker | was python your first lang superfly? | 18:34 |
nlsthzn | superfly: I am looking at the python course through o'reilly school of tech, you know about it and have any thoughts on it? | 18:34 |
Kilos | we also have some ubuntu dev guys too | 18:34 |
magespawn | nlsthzn: is that a paid for or free? | 18:35 |
superfly | jhb_hacker: no, my 8th or 9th | 18:35 |
superfly | nlsthzn: I've heard of it, that is all. | 18:35 |
magespawn | but the one he shouts about the most | 18:36 |
nlsthzn | paid for... | 18:36 |
jhb_hacker | superfly: cool, | 18:37 |
* nlsthzn is playing around with first virtual server... good way to learn ssh and terminal it would seem | 18:37 | |
nlsthzn | not sure what to do with it now :p (1gb of ram and only 20% cpu from one core...) | 18:38 |
jhb_hacker | superfly: which books would you recommend to someone who wants to be pythonic...from a diff lang | 18:38 |
superfly | jhb_hacker: there's a free e-book called "A Byte of Python" which gives you an excellent grounding in Python. | 18:39 |
magespawn | nlsthzn: what, no real server? | 18:39 |
nlsthzn | well that depends on what you would define as a real server... my desktop at home serves the network at home (minecraft :P) | 18:40 |
nlsthzn | I have found many good resources to learn python but I need to get past the first bit as I always stop after the initial concepts :/ | 18:41 |
* nlsthzn has remembered a few things over the years it seems... tasksel --> LAMP installing ... | 18:42 | |
magespawn | you have minecraft running at home? | 18:43 |
jhb_hacker | superfly: thanks | 18:44 |
nlsthzn | magespawn: yup... | 18:44 |
magespawn | how did you manage that? | 18:44 |
nlsthzn | I don't follow? | 18:44 |
magespawn | minecraft server? | 18:45 |
magespawn | wait are talking about the same thing? | 18:45 |
nlsthzn | yes, I am running a minecraft server | 18:47 |
magespawn | the block building game? | 18:47 |
nlsthzn | yes | 18:47 |
magespawn | right | 18:47 |
nlsthzn | this is strange? | 18:48 |
magespawn | not sure thought it was like wow | 18:48 |
nlsthzn | oh :) nah it is the simplest thing ever... you get the jar file from the official site and boom you are away | 18:49 |
nlsthzn | stupid easy | 18:49 |
nlsthzn | even I can do it | 18:49 |
magespawn | do you not pay to play? | 18:51 |
nlsthzn | the client you have to buy | 18:52 |
nlsthzn | the server is free | 18:52 |
nlsthzn | but if you only want to play then you only need the client... it can create a world on the host system | 18:53 |
magespawn | ahh are you the only player on your server? | 18:54 |
nlsthzn | wife and daughter... | 18:58 |
nlsthzn | I don't play so much | 18:58 |
* nlsthzn skipped over several steps and wordpress will not run >.< | 18:59 | |
nlsthzn | wonder why? | 18:59 |
nlsthzn | :p | 18:59 |
magespawn | maybe something in one of those steps ;) | 19:00 |
superfly | maybe it's just wordpress? | 19:00 |
nlsthzn | so what would be better to try and install and config superfly? | 19:01 |
magespawn | http://www.fancy.com/things/327398373323704813/SteamPunk-Chronograph-by-Romain-Jerome | 19:02 |
superfly | nlsthzn: I'm a Drupal guy... a little more challenging to start, but much more flexible in the long run | 19:02 |
magespawn | only the price of car or small house | 19:02 |
nlsthzn | ah yes... the droplet guy icon :) | 19:03 |
superfly | nlsthzn: but I think the installation these days is easier than WordPress | 19:03 |
nlsthzn | magespawn: looks awesome | 19:03 |
nlsthzn | superfly: I will have a look at the documentation and perhaps give it a go :) | 19:04 |
* nlsthzn will bbl | 19:08 | |
Kilos | night all. sleep tight | 19:15 |
Squirm | 'lo | 19:25 |
magespawn | hey Squirm | 19:44 |
Squirm | hey magespawn | 19:50 |
magespawn | night all | 20:59 |
