Kilos10 workspaces each with a different wallpaper11:46
oupateddieI have K13.10 installed11:49
oupateddieand it works fine at this stage11:50
Kilosi liked it as well only the short support was a prob for me with mobile broadband use11:52
charlhi Kilos 12:56
charlhi all12:56
charlMaaz_: coffee on12:56
* Maaz_ flips the salt-timer12:56

Maaz_Kilos: Yessir12:57
Kiloscharl see if you can figure whats oupas prob if he dont win there please12:57
charlreading12:58
Kilosi got unity and kde on separate drives so dont have probs12:59
charlif you install both unity and kde on the same system you get the option to select at the desktop manager12:59
charla desktop manager on linux is basically the login screen12:59
Kilosi thought so ya13:00
Maaz_Coffee's ready for charl and Kilos!13:00
charlin the unity desktop manager there is a little gear icon if memory serves ccorrectly13:00
Kilosmaybe he has come right13:00
charlMaaz_: thanks13:00
Maaz_charl: No problem13:00
Kiloshe has kde first13:00
KilosMaaz_, ty13:00
Maaz_You are welcome Kilos13:00
charlif in kde there is a drop down13:00
charlbut they keep changing where it is13:00
charlin the latest version of kde it changed yet again13:01
charla login screen is so simple but they keep wanting to make it look fancy13:01
charlso they keep changing it13:01
charllook around properly on the login screen13:02
charlthere must be an option somewhere13:02
Kilosty lets here what he says13:02
Kilosmaybe its fixed now13:02
charljust click on everything and see what happens :)13:02
Kiloslol13:02
charlyeah if all else fails just brute force it13:03
Kilosmy kde is very lekker now13:03
charlyou on kde 4.11?13:03
Kiloshe wont know how to force13:03
Kilosoh no 4.1013:03
Kiloson 12.0413:03
charli run it inside a VM at work ad it is really fast and stable now13:03
charlvery different than the first couple of versions of kde413:04
Kilosthats what comes with 13.10 hey?13:04
charlyes13:04
charli run debian7 as my host (stable)13:04
Kilosyeah i enjoyed it once setup. was lekker fast13:05
charland then i can run all the latest stuff inside a series of VMs13:05
Kiloswell see when i get another mobo if i can then run vms13:05
Kilosbut ill sit with 12.04 for a while13:06
charli can't run ubuntu as my host because vmware keeps choking over the new kernels13:06
charlso i run debian stable on a ancient ernel13:06
charl*kernel13:06
Kiloseish thats too involved for me13:06
Kilosim only small13:07
charlvmware compiles itself into the kernel somehow, quite pesky13:07
charlyou would not have that issue with virtualbox though if you use the one that ships with ubuntu13:08
Kiloswhew13:08
Kilosoupateddie, you gotta tell us whats happening13:10
Kilosyeah but virtualbox runs rather slow here charl 13:11
Kilosi got it working but 1.5g ram to min13:12
charlno i got 16gb stuffed into my workl machine13:12
Kiloswow13:13
charlgot 4gb in my laptop at home but i don't do much with virtualisation here13:13
Kilosthis pc takes ddr ram and very hard to comeby13:13
charlbah13:13
Kilosthe less i spend on data the more i save towards pc stuff13:14
Kilosin some years ill have an i713:14
charlif you have multiple cores with hardware virtualisation it will work lekker13:15
charlespecially with lots of ram13:15
Kilosya with ddr2 or 3 ram 13:15
charlcause that's the #1 thing you need13:15
Kilosnlsthzn, has sent me a i3 mobo with 4g ram i think13:16
charleven my core i3 laptop works good if i don't assign too much ram to a guest os13:16
charlmobo?13:16
Kilosmotherboard13:16
charlah nice13:16
Kilosyeah will be lekker13:16
charlthat is enough for a start13:16
charlawesome stuff13:17
Kiloswell thats already more than double the ram i have here13:17
charli gotta go out for a bit13:17

charlhi magespawn 15:33
charlhi Mezenir 15:33
theblazehenhey charrl15:33
theblazehencharl*15:33
charli am currently using markdown for some docs but i discovered it's too limiting15:37
charli thought up an alternative but i don't know what to call it15:37
nlsthznKilos, slightly older than i3... it is a quad core (first gen) Q660015:37
Kiloshi nlsthzn 15:38
charli thought of just calling it farkup - markup with the m replaced with a f ..15:38
Kilosmarkless15:39
charlyeah farkup sounds a bit strange15:39
Kilosf is only good to use in food15:39
charlmarkless would work better15:39
charlthanks for the good suggestion15:39
Kilosor marklow15:39
Kilosyw15:39
charlthis way i can give a presentation of it without making people laugh at the name15:40
Kiloslol15:40
theblazehencharl, looking forward to seeing it. Similar to markdown?15:40
charlyes in principle15:41
charlexcept easier to parse and more powerful15:41
theblazehenwill it be backwards compatible? That would be a good thing to have going for it15:41
theblazehenah, ok15:41
theblazehenAs well as easily human readable right?15:41
charlno markdown is already too fragmented15:41
charlyes most definitely easily human readable15:41
theblazehenok, good :)15:42
charli am going to write a spec15:42
theblazehenWhen are you thinking of publishing it?15:42
theblazehenI can't wait!15:42
charlbut i want to write the spec itself in markless15:42
charland to publish it i would need a working parser first15:42
theblazehenI might even for haroopad :) (A markdown editor)15:42
charlbut it won't take much time15:42
charli want to write the first parser in java with simple string buffer and jsoup to generate html15:43
theblazehenParser into html + CSS or what? PDF?15:43
theblazehenah, ok15:43
charlbuild and serialise a dom15:43
charlyeah converter to html515:43
charlit's a good thing because from dec 25 to jan 1 i have a week free15:44
charlso i have time now15:44
charlbut last week i fell and broke my elbow, so my right arm is in gipsum right now15:44
charlthat makes it difficult to type :(15:44
charldue to holidays the plaster will only get taken off on the 30th15:44
theblazehenah ok15:45
theblazehenlol, also on holiday 25jan - 1dec15:45
theblazehenoops, 25dec-1jan15:45

oupateddieKilos have you tried epub reader as an add-on to firefox17:07
Kilosi use opera and i just want to download the thing as to read online is too much17:08
oupateddieHave you serached for the book in some of the free epubs 17:26
theblazehenKilos: I like calibre as a epub reader17:29
Kilosits a book a doctor sells, i was wondering if it is readable online then surely it must be downloadable or saveable or something17:31
Kilosbut you cant copy paste there17:31
Kilosits no good even worrying about a reader if i cant get the book17:34

Kilosah18:00
Kiloswill look a bit later. got tons open on browser18:01

charljava in a browser sucks18:02
charlheh now i try again and i end up testing against a server in frankfurt http://www.pingtest.net/result/90806635.png18:03
KilosLangjan, what do you need help with?18:05
Kiloscharl, i dont understand what that pingtest is telling you apart from time taken18:49
Kilosoh my goodness this month has flown. meeting tomorrow night superfly and others18:52
Kilosinetpro, ping18:52
Kiloslast one of the year18:52
magespawnI heard that Kilos19:07
magespawnwill try to remember19:07
Kiloscool magespawn 19:07
Kilosi think it will be like an open evening with no fixed agenda as such19:08
magespawnalrighty then19:09
Kiloscharl, there is a command that does packet loss etc19:09
Kilosdont ask me ask inetpro 19:09
theblazehenKilos, thinking of mtr ?19:11
theblazehenshould be in repos19:11
Kilosi think so19:11
Kilosif i member right i got the tiny thing19:11
Kilosya mtr-tiny19:12
theblazehenah :)19:12
theblazehenIs there a difference?19:13
Kilosthe pro had me use it but thats already in the lost and found section of the head19:13
Kilosthere was a slight diffs i think19:13
Kilosnot major19:13
theblazehenah ok. I just use the full one19:14
theblazehenDoes it work well for you?19:14
Kilosmtr-tiny is installed by default19:14
theblazehenI have insanely high packet loss for the first few seconds?19:14
theblazehenah, kk19:14
Kilosi dont remember much but i saw % packet loss and so on19:14
Kilosif i dont use a thing daily i forget19:15
theblazehenah, kk, ty19:16
magespawnhttp://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr/ here is some more info19:28
Kilosoh ya i think i used traceroot19:42
charlKilos: yeah i don't actually see the benefit of it19:56
charlKilos: any ping tool if given enough time will show you packet loss statistics19:56
magespawncharl this looks like live running statistics20:04
magespawni do not see away to make it ping a destination that you want though20:05
Kilostraceroute www.google.com20:05
Kilosi think i used that20:06
Kilosthye pro will know20:06
magespawnnot so sure about mtr though20:07
Kilosi think traceroute uses it20:07
Kilostraceroute dont work unless mtr or mtr-tiny is installed20:08
magespawnmtr is the same type mtr www.somewebsite.com or ip address20:08
Kilosah20:08
Kilosdont forget the meet magespawn 20:09

magespawnthat is the command for running mtr-tiny i think20:11
magespawnhttps://library.linode.com/linux-tools/mtr20:12
