=== space is now known as Guest69211 [04:40] wb space [04:41] Thank you. [06:37] morning superfly et al [06:38] Guten morgen Kilos [06:39] zehr gut? [06:39] hi kilos [06:39] hi theblazehen [06:46] goeie more [06:46] more inetpro [07:07] zehr gut? is howsit hey? [07:17] hi Vince-0 [07:20] hi [07:38] morning all [07:38] morning ThatGraemeGuy [07:45] Kilos: sehr gut = very good [07:46] ah sehr ty inetpro [08:09] hi psyatw [08:10] hi Kilos [08:11] hi psyatw [08:11] hi psyatw [08:12] hi theblazehen [08:15] hey clever kde okes if i send my .conf from my home to ian and he replaces his .conf can that fix his prob? [08:15] maybe [08:16] Kilos: the easiest is to start a new profile and see whether that works [08:17] in other words, create a new dummy user and login with that [08:17] he has conf files missing [08:17] all must be done from cli [08:18] use the adduser command to create a new username [08:18] treid the commands to use old cong and there was nothing [08:18] ok ty inetpro will try if/when he gets here [08:18] i think he ran outa data last night [08:18] your question is like asking how long is a peace of string [08:19] again [08:19] there are plenty of config files [08:19] oh ya the ones that his panel uses [08:20] still that is grey area [08:20] i was thinking of sending my whole .conf [08:20] 2 megs [08:20] oh you mean the .conf folder? [08:20] yessir [08:21] hmm... [08:21] I don't even have such folder [08:21] in home there must be [08:21] maybe you're talking about .config [08:21] in the hidden files [08:21] oh ya maybe [08:21] as usual you are right [08:22] there's no half measures in computing [08:22] the .config folder has many subfolders [08:22] for all kinds of apps [08:23] so if i mail my .congig folder to his fone can he delete his one and put mine in there [08:23] I wouldn't go there [08:23] oh [08:23] rather start a new profile as I suggested [08:24] ok that will be good if it shows the kde panel and launcher [08:24] or go in the backend and rename his home folder and create a new blank profile [08:24] ai! [08:24] but be sure that you know what you do when you do that [08:25] AI! [08:25] permissions need to be right [08:25] so its a corrupt /home [08:25] don't rename /home [08:26] i think removing something and then upgrading has deleted important stuff [08:26] rename /home/userX to /home/userX.old [08:26] then create /home/userX again [08:26] and make sure the permissions are the same as /home/userX.old [08:26] aha ok will try that ty very much [08:27] so is that the command? [08:27] no [08:27] rename /home/userX to /home/userX.old [08:27] ai! [08:28] that is the principle, let him go google it [08:28] he sukkels just to be on here and konsole [08:28] no app switcher [08:29] i dunno how he even gets konsole open [08:29] if he got here he will get there [08:29] ill do the googling [08:30] it really is very simple [08:30] have you the correct link for me please [08:30] ai! [08:30] lol [08:31] when i use googled stuff i kill pcs and the fly fights me [08:33] ill try the adduser first with him [08:36] like this http://askubuntu.com/questions/70236/create-an-administrator-user-in-command-line [08:36] hi drussell [08:36] Kilos: hiya [09:24] hi Xethron [09:36] hiya maiatoday [09:39] maybe sudo cp -rvf /etc/skel ~ [09:41] i wouldn't use sudo there, the destination files will be owned by root [09:42] cp -a /etc/skel ~ [09:42] is that for me? [09:43] um, i dunno [09:43] i was just commenting on theblazehen [09:44] also i meant -r not -a now that i look at it [09:44] lol [09:44] theblazehen, was that for me? [09:54] Kilos: read and try to understand the top answer to the following question: How to NOT become a root user? Are administrators root? at http://askubuntu.com/questions/245201/how-to-not-become-a-root-user-are-administrators-root?rq=1 [09:56] and then the right way would probably be to create a second admin from where you login and rename your original home folders [09:56] admin user* [09:57] don't ever try renaming your home folder while logged in [09:58] oh and always make backups 1st! [10:00] ty inetpro ive found where one says sudo adduser sudo [10:00] that should be good hey? [10:00] sorry [10:00] uh [10:00] no [10:00] sudo adduser user sudo [10:00] yes, that is better [10:00] lemme go read your link [10:01] but please don't called the username "user" [10:01] ok [10:01] :-) [10:01] nick better? [10:01] hehe [10:01] i found others but they waana go tube [10:01] grrr [10:09] ai! so much. ive only needed to be root with iptables stuff and then did sudo -i to become the root guy [10:10] sudo didnt work with some of the iptables stuffs [10:11] the masquerading goed ek dink [10:12] i can foget that for a bit, got a router now [10:12] forget [10:13] and everything is working so dont even need sudo much [10:13] hi henkj wb [10:18] kilos: for person with KDE problem [10:19] ty theblazehen what will it do?

[13:17] you working hard my man [13:19] Kilos: That are lines which I need in order to support those languages :D [13:20] those are* [13:20] I even wrote a program, NiceAdd, to parse those 1400+ lines for me [13:20] :D [13:20] well done [13:20] thanks :) still busy ;) [13:20] you will be a mamba when you grown up [13:20] hehe [13:21] mamba=master or very dangerous snake [13:21] za slang [13:23] :DD [13:23] I learned how to use progressbar today [13:24] prgParse.Value = (i / (arrInvoer.Count)) * 0.7 ;) [13:24] keep it up [13:25] magespawn, quick trip [13:26] to? :) [13:26] he was out somewhere [13:26] runs a taxi service [13:26] yup the meeting was canceled [13:26] for peeps that want to poach rhino [13:26] ah [13:27] with cameras [13:27] :) [13:27] Cool :) [13:31] Over 1700 lines :p [13:31] Knowing that every line makes the parsing of a line slower, this is not good :p [13:33] Why are there so many languages in the world? :p [13:34] crazy hey [13:34] should force only english on everyone [13:35] :DD [13:35] The world would be a heck lot easier ;) [13:35] more understandable [13:35] yeah :) [13:36] more collaborative :) [13:36] but peeps like their own languages and cultures [13:36] :( [13:36] just the internet has made it difficult to be one language only [13:38] I hope once there will be an central translate website for everyone's benefit ;) [13:38] so that I don't need to translate "Edit" over and over again [13:38] :p [13:38] that will take years to come [13:38] But in the end.. ;) [13:39] yeah [13:39] 1817 lines already :p [13:39] in the end most peeps will use english most i think [13:39] In a moment, Gedit will say: CRASH [13:39] :p [13:40] then save it so long [13:40] I'm saving it every minute [13:40] ;) [13:40] lol [13:41] I don't know which limits will crash the program, so :p [13:41] Should try it. [13:41] :p [13:41] The text boxes of my program support more text than a computer ever can parse [13:41] :D [14:15] kilos: copy the default settings over to your home directory [14:16] oh ty theblazehen [14:16] NP. sorry I never responded earlier. was at school [14:17] np ty alot [14:22] later all [14:40] theblazehen: were you the guy using RetroShare ? [14:47] Charl: yeah [14:55] theblazehen: i installed it now, running it for the first time [14:55] awesome. message me your key? [14:55] will add you when at PC [14:56] ok just figuring out how to get my key out :) [14:56] RetroShare? [14:57] go to add friend [14:57] distributed p2p chat superfly [14:57] ok seems like i need yours too [14:59] now i also see how the connection works because it literally puts the ip address in the certificate text [14:59] Hrm. interesting. Will have to install it and have a look. [14:59] charl send it soon [15:00] ok [15:00] interesting experiment [15:02] what is the diffs beteen these 2 commands please, as in what does one leave out [15:03] cp -r /etc/skel ~ [15:03] cp -a /etc/skel ~ [15:05] thats an options difference hey? [15:06] yeah. not sure what [15:15] Kilos: man cp :) [15:16] i'm feeling like a bit of "teach a man to fish" today :P [15:16] ty ThatGraemeGuy you getting like the pro [15:17] read the options in the manpage and see if you can explain the difference ;) [15:17] one is archive and other is recursive [15:18] whatever recursive means [15:18] recursive means, "also include any files/dirs under the named dir" [15:18] aha ty [15:19] cp -a is implying the cp -r [15:19] yea, but it also does other stuff that may not be desirable [15:19] So while cp -r will just copy recursively, cp -a will copy recursively and pretty much everything else [15:19] primarily, you may not want permissions and ownership to be copied [15:20] especially if the source is owned by root [15:20] well we can try run both so nothing is left out [15:20] which /etc/skel is [15:21] True, but doesn't adduser already copy from /etc/skel ? [15:22] Trixar_za: yep [15:22] but this will make it not need to create a new user [15:25] got my afrihost mobile thingy earlier, if anyone is interested: https://twitter.com/ThatGraemeGuy/status/375235401209765888 [15:26] ah [15:26] thats fast [15:27] mtn you said ThatGraemeGuy ? [15:27] yeah [15:27] that's in observatory, pretty good coverage here [15:28] will try from home later, likely to be less great [15:28] aw this tower is a edge tower so no chance of such speeds [15:28] i'm on the edge of the winelands, usually don't get 3G there [15:29] but you can on good days [15:29] but its cool for using in the car, much cheaper than using up my 3G, and also phone's battery ought to be better because wifi uses less battery than 3G [15:29] this tower is edge max [15:29] according to the coverage map, i'm about 3 houses too far for 3G [15:29] owch [15:29] external antenna [15:30] i don't generally care though since i have adsl and use my wifi [15:30] yagi power [15:30] ah [15:30] the mobile thing isn't meant to be used at home [15:30] how does it connect to pc? [15:32] thats double my 8ta download speed and 10 times upload speed [15:36] ThatGraemeGuy, do you follow us on twitter [15:36] @ubuntuza [15:36] Kilos: it's a mifi device, you put the sim into it, switch it on, and it can support up to 8 wifi clients [15:36] that where relevant messages are tweeted like meetings etc [15:37] you can also connect to it over usb, but i didn't manage to get that working just yet [15:37] ah ty [15:37] didn't try very hard either to be honest [15:37] hehe working is working who worries about alternatives [15:38] is it @ubuntuza? [15:38] ya [15:38] i do follow [15:38] cool [15:38] hows the perl going [15:39] or coming [15:46] im gonna reboot to kde [15:47] good luck kilos [15:59] byeeeeeeee [16:33] morrow ThatGraemeGuy [16:33] havva good night [17:06] good evening [17:06] hi magespawn [17:07] any of others around? [17:07] been quiet fo a while [17:08] im on kde so cant see what the new toy is, some p2p thing [17:08] charl_: ^^ [17:08] i think it was him [17:09] thats persont to person hey? [17:10] yes let me scroll [17:10] RetroShare [17:10] * magespawn goes to google [17:13] magespawn: yeah [17:13] anyone got an idea of the size of all the ubuntu logs? [17:13] logs? [17:14] yeah. Ubuntu's logs [17:14] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com [17:14] looks like there is some talk about an android client for RetroShare [17:15] magespawn: there is, but needs remote client [17:15] no idea, but it is only text? [17:15] magespawn: yep [17:15] all logs for 9 years [17:15] (Not my math) [17:15] what is it just to chat in private? [17:15] hi all [17:16] hi charl_ [17:16] Kilos: yeah, and for group chat. Cencorship resistant [17:16] wb charl_ [17:16] hi charl_ [17:16] hi Kilos [17:16] ah group [17:16] hi theblazehen [17:16] yes Kilos [17:16] hi magespawn [17:16] charl_: did you get my key? [17:16] i'll look now [17:16] privet one on one here can be with dcc chat nick [17:17] private [17:17] Kilos: Yeah, but needs freenode to run, and to find users [17:17] but no groups [17:17] cool got it i will add you shortly [17:18] every day more new stuff [17:18] be very cool if they get it to run on android [17:19] magespawn: yeah [17:23] theblazehen: sorry it seems like i can't open it on my work machine from home [17:23] theblazehen: X11 forwarding over SSH doesn't want to work for me now [17:24] it works fine on my vps, i don't know why it doesn't want to work on my desktop at work [17:24] charl_: ah ok, np [17:24] maybe because X is already running locally [17:24] ah ok:/ [17:24] yeah [17:25] i use x11 forwarding on my vps too, for example when i want to open a picture attachment while reading my mail in mutt [17:25] i use feh as my default image viewer [17:25] yep [17:25] I find it a bit too slow [17:25] ah ok [17:26] no i can't say that performance has been a problem at all, it actually works very quickly (for me) [17:26] Wow... Network speed? [17:27] dunno at work i'm on 1gbps at home on 60mbps [17:27] my server is at hetzner on 100mbps [17:28] ping from work is about 20ms and from home about 30ms [17:28] Nice! [17:28] I find that 2mbit is fast enough [17:28] so desktop -> netbook [17:28] wifi is slow [17:28] wifi is always terrible, i don't use it [17:29] except maybe well-optimised 802.11n [17:29] but then you have to use 5.2ghz with two antennas and all that [17:29] not the so-called "mixed mode" that's the standard on most home dsl/cable routers [17:29] yep. [17:29] i have the ubee evw3200 and lemme tell you the wifi is complete sh1t [17:30] it is one of these combination internet/telephone modems [17:31] ah ok [17:32] i want to desperately move to fibre but it's not available in my area and i haven't heard a single word of rollout either [17:33] i was looking at this the other day and got quite bitter lol http://www.breedbandarnhem.nl/thuis/glasvezel-internet [17:34] this i mean http://www.breedbandarnhem.nl/thuis/snelheden [17:34] 250mbps for less than i'm paying now :( [17:34] :( [17:37] on more positive news i discovered a very nice (headless) im client yesterday http://www.centerim.org/index.php/Main_Page [17:37] up until now i've been using http://www.gnu.org/software/freetalk/ [17:37] a pretty solid but very simplistic xmpp client [17:37] ooohhh [17:37] centerim is _much_ more powerful and also supports other protocols, apparently even irc [17:37] not that i'm too interested because i use irssi for irc [17:38]
