[05:19] I need some strong coffee or narcotics to get through this week. where is that java?! [05:19] lol [05:23] nlsthzn, why not? [05:24] ? [05:27] my wife would argue that there is nothing better [05:28] morning magespawn [05:35] lol magespawn - [05:36] she is right [05:47] Goeie more almal [05:47] more bduk1 mazal [05:47] it is almost work time folks [05:48] have a good day kbmonkey [05:49] kbmonkey: Where do you work? I'm tyred already [05:49] tired [05:51] Morning everyone [05:56] See how tyred i am Kilos [05:56] haha [05:56] morning mazal [06:05] hi Kilos [06:05] wb magespawn [06:25] oh my, it seems the net is just getting worse [06:25] hi psychicist [06:26] more people awake = less bandwidth :/ [06:28] morning gerritfromsa [06:28] more se [06:28] nope nlsthzn i mean everyone join/parting [06:28] môre ook ja [06:29] not seeing to much of that at the moment actually ? [06:30] mage used to be stable [06:30] third time he is gone this morning [06:31] ah ok... [06:31] dunno how businesses get things done if irc cant even stay connected [06:36] i could stay on mxit and irc when nothing else connected [06:37] IRC seems to be pretty robust... but if freenode having issues on a specific server it could also effect only IRC [06:38] ok [06:38] so many variables :) [06:39] could even be something on the PC itself... rebooting, power issues, pressing alt+f4 by accident... who knows :p [06:39] rock solid on 3G [06:40] but must add Haynes commands to enforce best service on timeslot [06:42] yeah i find 3g is very stable here [06:43] morning [06:44] hi Squirm [06:44] gerritfromsa: I'm very slowly putting pieces together for a semi-automated home [06:44] funds are the only annoying factor, I have higher priorities [06:44] also want to use one for a car PC [06:45] touch screen, reverse camera, etc [06:45] bbl [06:46] I got a little 7" from Autostyle that works well [06:46] the screen is 12v powered but not touch - that would be 1st prize [06:46] For stuff for your house check out x10-sa.co.za [06:47] you can not build anything for less [06:47] and the best thing is - no cabling ! its send signals over existing power [06:48] If you'd like a Linux command line program to control X10 - I can recommend Heyu [06:49] www.heyu.org [07:00] wb magespawn what you breaking [07:00] uploading a largish file [07:01] trying to get the website on line again [07:01] ah [07:02] ohi superfly [07:02] there is a way to transfer the file from the backup server, but it fails on one file [07:03] morning Kilos, magespawn, * [07:03] hey superfly [07:05] magespawn, using http/ftp for the xfer ? [07:07] gerritfromsa, not too sure, what ever the default is for cpanel [07:08] it might be a apache/php limit - is the file that fails larger than the others? [07:09] when i have restored the backup from the server, only one file is not transferred, so i thought to download the backup and try from here instead [07:10] you could just ftp into the webserver [07:11] or use filezilla [07:11] it is a joomla based website, and after the restore i get an error on the admin page [07:11] what does the error say [07:11] JLIB_APPLICATION_ERROR_COMPONENT_NOT_LOADING [07:12] that look like library issues ? [07:12] Error loading component: com_login, 1 [07:13] no offense but that why I like old school ... all these content managers is so complex when things go wrong ... [07:14] did you check there support site ? [07:14] isn't there a joomla channel on freenode ? [07:14] hi Vince-0 [07:14] sheesh! so quick [07:17] magespawn, fyi there is a dedicated joomla channel : #joomla [07:20] hehe gerritfromsa you use xchat hey? [07:21] oh yes [07:21] in konversation ctrl+r underlines. is there something similar for xchat? [07:22] comes by default with KDE - but you should know that using KDE yourself ;) [07:24] im not IT educated so everyday i learn something new [07:24] mainly because i forget what i did yesterday, hehe [07:24] use the very basics of xchat myself ... [07:25] i still use unity as well because i dont believe ubuntu headed in the new direction for the fun of it [07:25] where can one get a list of commands and what they are for? [07:25] they got plans im sure [07:25] oh i have them somewhere [07:26] will try find them through the day [07:26] maybe even on 10.10 [07:26] use KDE because it much less process intensice than gnome/unity but has a lot more features than something like xfce ... [07:27] KDE is the beautiful middle ground [07:27] gerritfromsa, i can seem to find the actual file name of the one file that does not transfer [07:27] i use kde in 13.10 [07:28] so my thought was to try filezilla to upload the back up from here [07:28] but also unity 12.04 [07:28] magespawn, sounds like a pan [07:28] magespawn, sounds like a plan [07:29] plan the dive , and dive the plan as we like to say [07:32] gerritfromsa: the x10 stuff is generally expensive [07:32] I'm slowly writing a web interface with a python back end [07:33] it will be cabled though [07:33] Squirm, compared to what? [07:33] am using cat5 to power stuff [07:33] gerritfromsa: compared to doing it yourself [07:33] buying the parts and piecing it together [07:33] fair enough [07:34] and that website you pasted doesn't seem to work [07:34] http://slexy.org/view/s20wCUQMPg [07:34] there are the xchat commands [07:35] i go take sheep out wbb [07:35] www.x10-sa.co.za ? just tried it now and it works OK [07:35] Kilos, sweet [07:36] needs the www [07:37] R360 for one light [07:38] I can control 1 light for... [07:38] maybe R15 [07:38] well, Pi obviously costs, but for each piece I do myself it's cheap [07:40] only issue is that the Pi is limited by the number of GPIO. Looking at the BeagleBone Black - my issue is I'm not very controller savvy, the Pi has a very nice userbase with plenty tuts [07:40] that why you need the arduino to go with ... [07:41] see, I don't do the lower levels of programming... I like python [07:41] though I think I'm going to start learning C++ [07:42] back again [07:42] magespawn: I see that, you joined the channel ;) [07:42] and hello [07:42] hey Squirm [07:42] Kilos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wp9MnSTZrY&feature=youtu.be [07:43] oh wait, don't watch it, it's an hour long video [07:43] on Winterton [07:43] it was on Mooiloop last night [07:43] seeing as it was the best town in KZN and the 2nd best in SA [07:44] break time [07:44] means coffee time [07:44] bbl [07:44] Winterton best town in KZN ? really ? [07:46] Squirm, what is Mooiloop ? [07:51] ouch Squirm [07:51] used to be a very friendly place [07:51] was there 40 years ago [07:52] all of them were lekker, winterton underburg bulwer and so on [08:33] wb nlsthzn [08:34] Kilos: we're about 1.5 hours from Underburg :P [08:34] thanks uncle Kilos ... just had the system freeze completely :/ Had to do a reset [08:35] gerritfromsa: it's an Afrikaans program on SABC 2 [08:35] I think they do travel stuff [08:35] go around SA showing towns/places to visit [08:36] oh my nlsthzn that sucks. been there done that [08:36] i watch mooiloop when i member [08:36] good program [08:37] and when things like this just happens I get so %$#$%# angry I start reaching for some other installation media :/ [08:37] lol like me. but i use same media [08:38] one of these days ill try tinycorelinux again [08:38] as well not in place of [08:39] I've used DSL before [08:39] and Puppylinux(now built on Ubuntu) [08:41] its just learning all the different stuff thats hard. now we playing with office writer [08:41] no time for other stuffs [08:45] if unity goes in the wrong direction to suit my needs ill stick with kde [08:45] I like Mint :) [08:47] still gnome that hey? [08:50] Squirm, OK have no TV so I missed it [08:52] mint has mate and cinnamon as the main interfaces [08:52] nlsthzn: I use MATE [08:52] :) [08:52] gerritfromsa: neither do I, that's why I pasted the YouTube vid :) [08:53] though I only understand 1/4 of what's being said :/ [08:53] will check it out thx [08:53] having a tv says data use for me hehe [08:53] I was running LMDE with Cinnamon until a few days ago... was really good actually [08:53] I like MATE [08:53] nice Gnome 2 style [08:53] gerritfromsa: you know Winterton? [08:54] i think peeps didnt give unity enough of a chance to start with [08:54] i also used mate but now i actually like unity on 12.04 [08:54] Kilos: I've used it once, don't really enjoy it though [08:55] maybe even a bit more than kde [08:55] I need to download 13.10 still [08:55] and try it [08:55] it takes getting used to Squirm [08:57] I love Unity as an interface but it just doens't work the way it should especially when you start hitting it with games (especially using Wine)... then it goes belly up pretty quickly :/ [08:58] good morning [08:58] Maaz: coffee on [08:58] * Maaz flips the salt-timer [08:59] yeah i dont even try wine anymore [08:59] hi charl [08:59] hi Kilos [08:59] Maaz, coffee please [08:59] Kilos: Okay [09:00] Maaz: coffee please [09:00] Squirm: Sure [09:00] Maaz: larger [09:00] inna bucket for you Squirm [09:00] lol [09:00] a bucket of coffee i will die [09:02] Coffee's ready for charl, Kilos and Squirm! [09:09] woop [09:15] Maaz, danke [09:15] Bitteschön [09:31] wireshark wil solve your problem - it somehow always does ... [09:31] Sorry wrong window ... [09:32] lol [09:32] np [10:09] hi ThatGraemeGuy [10:15] wbb gonna do some hardware fiddling [10:17] where can i publish a file? [10:20] online? [10:20] what type of file? [10:24] a pcap trace file [10:25] gerritfromsa: where abouts are you from? [10:26] kzn north coast [10:29] well I use dropbox to upload files to share and there are other services similar... [10:30] >.> [10:34] gerritfromsa: how north is north? [10:34] north of umhlanga but south of balito [10:35] the only place I know that way is Umdloti [10:35] and Crawford [10:36] however my offices is in midrand [10:36] work from home most of the time [10:36] gerritfromsa, well I use dropbox to upload files to share and there are other services similar... [10:37] but if it is just to share the text with someone you could use pastebin etc [10:37] I use pastebin but I saw i someone using something else for files [10:43] http://slexy.org/ [10:44] slexy looks like text only .. [10:44] yup [10:45] need public place to upload files [10:45] you could use ubuntu 1? [10:45] maybe google docs then ... [10:46] problem for me with many of the services to host files are that they always try to get you the uploader to pay somehow or cripple it for the downloaders and they need to pay. [10:46] didn't know google docs did files, perhaps google drive/ [10:46] ? [10:47] could use the latest bad boy on the block - https://mega.co.nz/ [10:47] let me try ... [10:48] hmmm... 50gb free space [10:48] last time I checked this the site had just launched and was crashing the whole time... [10:49] had owncloud running ... then I lost my free hosting space , got new space now so will get it up and running soon [10:51] HTML5 is amazing ... [10:51] +1 [10:52] like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at mega.co.nz .... [10:56] It's great, but not all browsers support it equally [10:58] such as IE? [10:59] :p [11:03] Pretty much all of them, but earlier IE versions are the worst offenders [12:08] gerritfromsa: dropbox? [12:08] that's more or less the default option [12:08] you don't get much space though [12:08] if you have an open source project and you have large downloads, definitely try sourceforge [12:09] i used to run a project that had pre-made ova's for many popular distros [12:09] installed with drivers and everything [12:09] i had like 10gb or 20gb up on there [12:09] no problem, although the mirror synchonisation could be a little slow [12:09] could take a number of days to get mirrored properly [12:11] btw considering the legal issues megaupload had i would not use mega for anything serious [12:11] for all that you know, the us government could come and take all their servers down (again) [12:18] kiwis wont allow the US to do that [12:18] we hope... [12:18] excuse me what? [12:19] lol [12:19] kiwiland is america's little b*tch [12:19] after what happened to Rainbow Warrior they keep foreign powers at a distance [12:19] right... [12:19] australia on the other hand .... [12:20] island countries... [12:20] we have the UK here next to us so i am skeptical [12:23] i discovered a really irritating issue [12:23] i have an edge-lit 27" lcd tft at home that i connect to my laptop via vga [12:23] mostly to watch films etc [12:24] when i connect the screen i have to first enable it with: xrandr --auto --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 --left-of LVDS1 [12:24] LVDS1 is my built-in laptop screen [12:26] sometimes brb [12:28] put it in your startup ... [12:36] mwhahahaha [12:36] I found you [12:36] https://facebook.com/profile.php?=7332236 [12:44] yup, looks about right [12:47] and it isn't creepy at all... [12:47] >.> [12:47] :p [12:47] sorry i got interrupted [12:47] Cheers everyone. Lekker evening [12:47] gerritfromsa: no i can't do that because the external screen is usually not connected [12:48] i just run it as a shell script [12:48] anycase, when i execute the xrandr i immediately get a new problem, my mouse pointer becomes much more sensitive and moves much faster [12:48] does anyone know how to stop that ? [12:50] the only thing i managed to come up with is calling xset -q ahead of time and then resetting the values with xset m 2 4 for example [12:50] there might be a better solution though [12:52] charl: http://xkcd.com/963/ [12:53] whahaha [12:53] very good Squirm [12:54] I found it fitting [12:54] what kind of lame joke is this above facebook [12:54] you just open your own profile right? or not [12:55] sorry i don't use it [12:55] there's something wrong in the querystring, the parameter has no name [12:59] hi gwoodford [13:02] charl, you can set the script to only set if the screen is present [13:02] charl, dont unbuntu come with display setup as aprt of system settings? [13:03] raining again ! [13:03] charl: I just use box.com [13:04] box.com has a linux client now? :-o [13:04] i have 50GB there [13:04] I just upload through the website - no clue if they have a linux client yet :P [13:04] inetpro, jy kan miskien nat is later. kom donker goed van die weste [13:04] boooo! [13:05] hi Trixar_za [13:06] Hey, it's 10GB free hosting :P [13:06] And it takes some of the load off of your site [13:06] mine's 50, that's why I'm keen to use it [13:07] i see they support webdav: http://xmodulo.com/2013/02/how-to-mount-box-com-cloud-storage-on-linux.html [13:07] Trixar_za, just what I was looking for! shot [13:12] webdav +1 [13:20] thunder and lightening. power might go [13:29] thunderbolts and lightning very very frightening me! [13:31] gerritfromsa: no, i want to run the script AFTER i connected my screen [13:31] because i will not reboot my machine just after i connected the screen [13:32] a) connect screen b) run script, simple [13:33] and yes, ubuntu does come with a tool (gnome display settings, or some modified version of it, whatever the app is called) but i run i3wm so i do it manually [13:33] i3wm ? [13:33] in either case, i still have the same problem though [13:46] lol @ ThatGraemeGuy [13:48] i like the idea of having a raspberry pi with a fat 1-2tb external hd at that raspberry colocation facility [13:48] lol [13:48] linode works too [13:49] run http/ftp for read-only public access and use ssh/scp/sftp/sshfs to push data onto it [13:49] linode is expensive though [13:49] how my is the Pi colocation? [13:50] for 768 GB you pay $320 / month ! [13:50] that's really expensive [13:50] ouch [13:50] http://raspberrycolocation.com/ [13:51] it isn't going to work though, they only allow "Optional: a compact USB stick for additional storage (max. 4 cm)" [13:51] that sucks, then you can get max 32 gb ? [13:54] oh whow you can get a 1tb now http://www.kingston.com/us/usb/personal_business#DTHXP30 [13:54] you could, or you could buy a new car :-p [13:55] absolutely incredible https://www.centralpoint.nl/?page=cart&vendor=Kingston+Technology&quant1=1&prodid=DTHXP30/1TB [13:55] total cost including vat 1.406,02 euro [13:55] not entirely a car but hilariously expensive [13:56] fun fact, i bought a 10-year-old citigolf for 12,000 [13:56] so yeah, as much as a car [13:56] maybe not the average car purchase, but... ;-) [13:57] well uh, a 10 year old car... yeah ok right [13:57] hehe [13:58] you can buy a 256gb for €169,80 [13:58] that's doable [13:59] not exactly cheap, but doable [14:01] it's in any case gonna cost a heck of a lot less than buying a vps from linode [14:01] looking at sd cards now - 128gb for 78,70 euro [14:02] i would probably go for that although i don't know how good/reliable these high density cards are [14:04] georgl_: do you also have the problem that a lot of stuff you download via nzb is corrupted? or somehow incomplete? [14:09] hmm... the internet peeps are so painful at times [14:10] http://www.wippy.com/za [14:10] went there from fb i think because of a promo free usb stick offer [14:10] now get a mail [14:11] You have just received a R 1000! [14:11] You only have to pay shipping fee of R 24.00 [14:11] where have i received that R1000 [14:11] is it virtualo money [14:11] virtual [14:14] sounds fishy [14:15] yeah and you cant even eat the fish [14:15] virtual fish [14:15] they like a bod or buy thing looks like [14:15] bid or buy [14:16] well if the site is legit... [14:17] all i wanted was the free stick offer on facebook [14:17] grrr [14:19] then you got to the link and cant even find that stick and gotta join and all that internet stuffs [14:30] haha always read the fine print [14:30] After the trial expires, normal monthly charges of $ 49.00 will apply. [14:37] hi charl [14:37] not really [14:38] i have the odd one that is corrupted or imcomplete [14:38]
