| kbmonkey | otherwise if its a server board it wont need sound or wireless | 05:31 |
| kbmonkey | must be for special uses | 05:31 |

| Kilos | morning superfly | 06:25 |
| superfly | hi Kilos | 06:27 |
| superfly | morning theblazehen | 06:37 |
| superfly | ag, I mean ThatGraemeGuy | 06:37 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | ello | 06:37 |
| Kilos | hi ThatGraemeGuy | 06:37 |
| superfly | ThatGraemeGuy: you know the devices we make? | 06:40 |
| superfly | (at work) | 06:40 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | yup | 06:40 |
| superfly | So, funny production bug at the moment... in order to get the true data usage we do a USSD request and then send the result of that back to the server | 06:41 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | k | 06:41 |
| superfly | but recently Vodacom started sending SMSes back after the USSD request | 06:41 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | urgh | 06:41 |
| superfly | in apparently unrelated news, if you send an SMS to the device, it reboots | 06:42 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | oh noes! | 06:42 |
| superfly | (weird bug, fixed already) | 06:42 |
| superfly | and as soon as the device starts up, it queries for its balance | 06:42 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | loopy de loop | 06:43 |
| superfly | so you get start up -> query -> sms -> reboot -> start up -> ... | 06:43 |
| superfly | yup! | 06:43 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | nice one | 06:43 |
| Kilos | ouch | 06:43 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | better you than me :) | 06:43 |
| superfly | hehehe | 06:43 |
| superfly | we have a way around that fortunately | 06:43 |
| superfly | but it's an amusing scenario | 06:43 |
| superfly | at least now we know what's causing it | 06:43 |
| superfly | we didn't for a week or so | 06:43 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | oh wow | 06:44 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | so for a week people couldn't sell vouchers? | 06:44 |
| superfly | some people, not everyone it seems. | 06:45 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | across the board, or limited | 06:45 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | ah ok | 06:45 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | still, wow | 06:45 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | stressful week then :0 | 06:45 |
| superfly | nah, not really | 06:46 |
| superfly | Oh, and the way to "fix" it for the moment (until we roll out the new code)? Send it an SMS. | 06:49 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | uuuhhh.... | 06:50 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | so i'm definitely missing something, elaborate... | 06:50 |
| superfly | I can't say that my work here is ever dull :-D | 06:50 |
| superfly | we can send a couple of commands to the device via SMS as well, so we can stop it from requesting the airtime balance using an SMS command | 06:50 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | oh right | 06:58 |
| nlsthzn | Goeie more Suid Afrika | 07:19 |

| charl | wb theblazehen | 09:30 |
| charl | theblazehen: what ever happened to that richard stallman video? | 09:31 |
| Kilos | ask Vince-0 | 09:33 |
| Vince-0 | ey! | 09:47 |
| Vince-0 | It has not been released from UKZN - paperwork | 09:47 |
| Vince-0 | bit of a joke really | 09:48 |
| Kilos | wow do sticks come out with installable stuff for win now | 09:50 |
| Kilos | adata.exe and adata_chrome.exe | 09:50 |
| charl | hi Vince-0 | 10:04 |
| charl | Vince-0: wow seriously?! oh my goodness | 10:05 |
| Vince-0 | charl, yep, I will check again with them | 10:34 |
| Vince-0 | apparently the file size is like 20GB as well | 10:34 |
| Vince-0 | so that's going to be one long upload | 10:34 |
| Kilos | ouch | 10:34 |
| charl | Vince-0: sounds like a nice high-quality 1080p recording :) out of interest, which format? ogg vorbis? and where are you planning on mirroring it? | 10:46 |
| charl | bittorrent would be ideal for distributing a file like that | 10:46 |
| charl | theblazehen's connection is on the fritz | 11:14 |
| charl | Maaz: seen darksurferza | 11:34 |
| Maaz | charl: darksurferza was last seen 1 day, 1 hour, 58 minutes and 51 seconds ago in #ubuntu-za on freenode [2013-11-21 11:35:13 SAST], and has been offline on freenode since 2013-11-21 11:39:37 SAST | 11:34 |
| charl | Maaz: tell darksurferza https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7598531 | 11:35 |
| Maaz | charl: Righto, I'll tell darksurferza on freenode | 11:35 |
| Vince-0 | charl, it will be in ogg vorbis and most likely hosted on archive.org depending on their size restrictions | 11:44 |

| charl | inetpro: lol | 12:50 |
| * Squirm looks around | 13:05 | |
| Kilos | yo Squirm | 13:06 |
| charl | hi Squirm | 13:07 |
| charl | whow! bittorrent is amazing! | 13:28 |
| charl | i just downloaded linux mint 16 (cinnamon iso and mate iso) at half a gigabit per second with rtorrent (according to bwm-ng) | 13:29 |
| Kilos | wow | 13:29 |
| charl | this is what i'm talking about! no way i could get that via http/ftp | 13:29 |
| Vince-0 | I know what you are talking about | 13:32 |
| Kilos | ok somewhere im missing the plot. i want to install ubuntu onto a flash drive but dont get option to install from the dvd | 13:32 |
| charl | the installer doesn't see the flash drive? | 13:33 |
| Kilos | i dont just want a startup disk to install from, i want ubuntu installed on the stick | 13:33 |
| charl | never tried it myself to be honest | 13:34 |
| Kilos | ya it shows the stick in the launcher but i dont see the install goodie | 13:34 |
| charl | in principle it should just see it as a hard drive | 13:39 |
| charl | but in practice i don't really know how it works | 13:40 |
| charl | you can install and run grub from a flash drive too | 13:40 |
| charl | so i see no reason it shouldn't just install as normal | 13:40 |
| charl | as long as it correctly sets up and configures grub on the flash drive | 13:40 |
| charl | but it's all supported i think | 13:41 |
| Kilos | yeah driving me nuts. i only have the stick connected otherwise the dvd offers to install to a hdd | 13:41 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 13:41 |
| Kilos | lemme fiddle more | 13:42 |
| Kilos | i dont want a live usb to install with, i want to use the stick as my drive | 13:44 |
| charl | have any of you guys used jitsi? it's extremely slow for me | 13:44 |
| charl | mint cinnamon runs terribly slow inside vmware - seems to be related to the graphic effects | 13:56 |
| charl | ubuntu 13.10 (unity) also runs absolutely terrible | 13:56 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 14:11 |
| Kilos | kde 12.04 is installing. wonder what is different | 14:11 |
| Kilos | hi adeebnqo you just disappeared last night | 14:16 |
| Kilos | ok bye | 14:17 |
| Kilos | hi psychicist | 14:17 |
| charl | hi psychicist | 14:18 |
| psychicist | hi Kilos | 14:18 |
| psychicist | hi charl | 14:18 |
| psychicist | on the bus to Prague :D | 14:18 |
| charl | oh nice, the bus has wifi? | 14:18 |
| charl | or you got your own 3g/4g thing | 14:18 |
| psychicist | yeah | 14:18 |
| psychicist | no | 14:18 |
| Kilos | come charl tell me why 12.04 installs but unity dont even give the option | 14:18 |
| psychicist | there is free wifi on the bus | 14:19 |
| charl | Kilos: option for what? | 14:19 |
| charl | psychicist: very cool! | 14:19 |
| Kilos | wow wifi on a bus | 14:19 |
| Kilos | to install charl | 14:19 |
| charl | psychicist: i had that once in the usa too when we were in oregon for oscon | 14:19 |
| psychicist | charl, Megabus? | 14:20 |
| psychicist | the company that has it here is called Polskibus, but it has the same owner | 14:20 |
| charl | psychicist: we were on our way to oregon state university for a tour of the open source lab | 14:20 |
| psychicist | btw, you should check it out | 14:20 |
| charl | no idea, can't remember... | 14:20 |
| psychicist | you can travel from Amsterdam to Paris for €15 with Megabus | 14:20 |
| psychicist | or for a little more to many places in the UK | 14:21 |
| charl | oh i must bookmark this | 14:21 |
| charl | i want to go to paris next year | 14:21 |
| charl | also to valencia they have this amazing museum there | 14:21 |
| psychicist | yes | 14:22 |
| psychicist | and in Germany you can use Meinfernbus | 14:22 |
| psychicist | much cheaper than trains | 14:22 |
| Kilos | theblazehen, you home yet? | 14:25 |
| Kilos | inetpro, lyk of die weer weer kom | 14:26 |
| Kilos | sal gou gaan beloer | 14:26 |
| charl | yeah but trains are nice and fast :P | 14:36 |
| charl | and comfortable | 14:36 |
| charl | the bus is the suck | 14:36 |
| charl | mint mate is fast inside vmware - most definitely related to cinnamon | 14:38 |
| charl | why on earth does ubuntu default to yahoo search, are they nuts | 14:42 |
| charl | mint, i mean | 14:42 |
| Kilos | tell them | 14:50 |
| kbmonkey | greetings 0/ | 15:25 |
| Kilos | ohi kbmonkey wb | 15:26 |
| kbmonkey | how goes it in the cyberspace? | 15:30 |
| Kilos | no man we earth bound | 15:30 |
| kbmonkey | bound I agree with but earth I am not sure about! | 15:33 |
| Kilos | lol | 15:38 |
| Kilos | when nm says wifi connected is it connected to somewhere else or just to the wifi adapter | 15:40 |
| Kilos | and if to somewhere else how do i find to where | 15:41 |
| kbmonkey | it means it connected to a wifi hotspot | 15:45 |
| kbmonkey | maybe your router | 15:45 |
| Kilos | nope router off | 15:46 |
| Kilos | can one use tracepath or something | 15:46 |
| kbmonkey | the tray icon says nothing? | 15:47 |
| Kilos | in nm? | 15:47 |
| Kilos | only shows the option to disconnect | 15:47 |
| Kilos | ohi Trixar_za | 15:48 |
| Kilos | you well? | 15:48 |
| kbmonkey | Run nm-tool | grep \*. That should show just the line with the SSID you are connected to. | 15:49 |
| Kilos | ty | 15:49 |
| kbmonkey | also, run "iwconfig" | 15:49 |
| kbmonkey | that also shows the name of the network you are conneccted to :] | 15:49 |
| Kilos | *myfi: Ad-Hoc, 9E:07:DA:C6:79:C4, Freq 2412 MHz, Rate 0 Mb/s, Strength 100 WEP | 15:50 |
| Kilos | Wireless Access Points (* = current AP) | 15:50 |
| Kilos | whatever does that mean | 15:51 |
| kbmonkey | iwconfig | grep wlan0 | 15:51 |
| kbmonkey | wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"rubber-chicken | 15:51 |
| kbmonkey | ^ thats mine | 15:51 |
| kbmonkey | ESSID is the name you looking for | 15:52 |
| kbmonkey | it is an ad-hoc network, did you create a network? | 15:52 |
| Kilos | wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"myfi" | 15:53 |
| Kilos | myfi is the name of my adapter | 15:53 |
| Kilos | or my network i created | 15:54 |
| Kilos | so to me it looks like nm is connect to the adapter not outside | 15:55 |
| Kilos | right or wrong | 15:55 |
| Kilos | ? | 15:55 |
| kbmonkey | its connected to your mifi | 15:56 |
| kbmonkey | but its off? | 15:56 |
| Kilos | how you see that? | 15:58 |
| Kilos | looks same as yours so how can you say its off | 15:59 |
| Kilos | nm shows the disconnect button | 15:59 |
| kbmonkey | gee I don't know Kilos - iwconfig says its connected to mifi so it must be. | 16:07 |
| kbmonkey | one clue is that it says "ad hoc", which it should not say for normal networks | 16:07 |
| Kilos | ya but myfi is me | 16:07 |
| kbmonkey | which means you or someone else created a network on your pc | 16:08 |
| Kilos | oh | 16:08 |
| Kilos | must i make that dhcp? | 16:08 |
| kbmonkey | and called it mifi, and it is not actually the mifi device | 16:08 |
| Kilos | man myfi not mifi | 16:08 |
| kbmonkey | is that what you use to go online? | 16:08 |
| Kilos | online to where? | 16:09 |
| Kilos | only plugged the adapter in today | 16:09 |
| Kilos | never had wifi before | 16:09 |
| Kilos | used eth to router | 16:09 |
| kbmonkey | ah, I understand what you say. a usb adapter? | 16:10 |
| Kilos | maybe there isnt any wifi close enough | 16:10 |
| Kilos | no pci card | 16:10 |
| kbmonkey | online to irc of course ;) | 16:10 |
