magespawnlooks like a router, but i am not a 100% sure on that07:13
Kiloseish whats it doing? or not doing07:13
Kilosi go let sheep out07:18
magespawnlooks like the wan port is faulty, but the jury is still out on that one, have put a spare in and that seems to work fine07:23
Kilosaha07:30
Kilosmaybe at times wired stuff is more reliable07:31
Kiloswhen routers give probs are they fixable or does one discard and replace them?07:53
Kiloswb magespawn 07:53
magespawnty Kilos, network here is a bit strange07:53

Kilosspeed up a bit today09:32
KilosDownload Speed: 3403 kbps (425.4 KB/sec transfer rate)09:32
KilosUpload Speed: 1062 kbps (132.8 KB/sec transfer rate)09:32
KilosLatency: 73 ms09:32
somaunnKilos: i can see09:44
somaunnhi psyatw09:44
Kilosmy telkom mobile is actually quite good09:45
somaunnhey Kilos, is that your home internet speed ?09:45
Kilosyip my 3g09:45
Kiloswhen i download big files it runs around 500kB/s most of the time09:46
Kiloswbb, just going to kde09:48
somaunnKilos: please tell me when we say 3403kbps but see on the DM 425.4kbps transfer is there something wrong ?09:59
Kilosthe 425.4kbps should be kB10:00
Kiloskilobytes10:01
Kilossmall b is bits10:01
somaunnKilos: okay10:04
somaunnplease explain that to me because i'm sometime lost10:04
Kilosok10:04
Kilos8 bits make up one byte10:04
Kilossome people give you speeds in mb/s and others in kB/s10:05
Kilosif you only getting kb/s that is very slow10:06
Kilos3403/810:07
Kilosai!10:07
KilosMaaz: 3403/810:07
MaazKilos: 425.37510:07
Kilos3403 is mb/s10:07
Kilos425 is kB/s10:08
Kilosreg ne inetpro ?10:08
somaunnKilos: ok10:11
somaunnlet me make it clear10:11
somaunnwhat is megabyte and what is megabit10:11
somaunn?10:12
Kilosmegabit is a million bits10:12
Kilosmegabyte is 8 times that10:12
Kilos8 bits make up one byte10:13
inetproKilos: bytes are less than bits10:17
Kilosyes10:17
inetproso it's megabits/8 to get megabytes10:17
Kilosno10:17
Kilosbytes are 8 bits10:17
inetpro1 byte = 8 bits10:18
Kilosyes10:18
Kiloslook where i got maaz to divide for me10:18
somaunnKilos, inetpro: you are going too fast please10:18
inetproai!10:19
somaunni want to know what is amount of data and what is speed 10:19
somaunnspeed related10:19
Kilosok 3403kb/s is kilobits per second10:20
inetprospeed is measured in seconds10:20
Kilosin bytes the exactly same thing is 425.375kB/s10:20
somaunnok, if we talk speed the we say [3megabit per second]10:21
inetpro3403 kb = 425.375 kB10:21
somaunnwhen we talk data we say [425.375 kilobytes per second]10:22
Kilossome do yes but if i use aptitude upgarde or install it shows me in kB/s10:22
Kilosits the same thing10:22
inetprokb = kilobits10:22
inetprokB = kilobytes10:22
Kilosthats how long it takes to download10:22
inetpromb = megabits10:23
inetpromB = megabytes10:23
inetpro3403 kb = 3.403 mb10:24
Kilosno10:24
inetproyes10:24
inetpro1000 kb = 1 mb10:25
Kilosoh ya sorry10:25
Kiloshmm...10:25
Kilos.3 isnt it10:25
Kilos3403 kb is 425 kB which is under half a meg10:26
Kilosoh in bytes10:26
Kiloswhew10:27
inetpro425 kBps is not bad10:27
somaunninetpro, Kilos: you see all the confusion comes from my home language10:28
inetproanything above 128kBps is very workable10:28
somaunnin french we usually say kilo or meg without any regard to which is data/speed related10:28
Kilos1000 bits=1byte10:29
Kilos1000 bytes =1 meg10:30
Kiloshi Vince-0 10:30
Kilossomaunn: they are all speed and amounts of data per second10:31
Kilosthe amount of data per second downloaded is the speed your net is working at10:32
Kilossame as kilometers per hour is the distance travelled in an hour10:34
Kiloshaha hi Eames 10:38
somaunnKilos, inetpro: Thank you so much for your help10:44
Kilosyw10:44
Kilosthats why we are here10:45
Kilosjust need a clever oke to check at times10:45
Vince-0!10:45
Kilosmy bits and bytes knowledge is memories from 30 years ago10:46
Kiloshi Golynx 10:47
GolynxHey Kilos10:47
GolynxDownloaded the driver, was about 93MB total, but only 46MB for each of the 2 that was on the list, but they were similar 10:49
GolynxIt shows some weird graphics card in system details ATI Fire GL. When i look in terminal it shows the correct card10:50
Kilosexplain look in terminal please10:51
GolynxThere is a big lag in the browser, and the loading icon aswell turns slower than it used to10:51
Kiloswhat browser you talking about?10:53
Kilosopera10:53
GolynxWell that info on that site said to type in fglrxinfo and it shows my card ATI radeon HD 320010:53
GolynxYes10:53
Kilosthat could be your internet sucking10:54
GolynxEverything in the browser is now slow10:54
Kilossudo aptitude reinstall opera10:54
Golynxnope , page scroll aswell got big lag and hurt my eyes10:54
Golynxok10:55
Kilosmaybe those graphics drivers have added something opera doesnt see10:55
GolynxPlus the windows got shadows around them now, and more animated effects10:56
Kiloslol10:56
Kilosyou should use kubuntu and turn off desktop effects10:56
GolynxWhy lol 10:56
Kilosi also hate all the animated stuff10:56
Kilosbut not everything can be turned off10:57
Golynxhmm this sucks10:57
Kilosmodern peeps like the eye candy10:57
GolynxIn ubuntu tweak i can now turn off the dash opacity and some other minor effects , but now windows shadows or animation efects options10:58
Golynxno*10:59
Kilosai!10:59
GolynxNow when i browse nautilus , the fan starts spinning faster and faster11:01
Kilosmaybe when you got data install mate11:02
Kilosthats very light11:03
Kilosinstalls into ubuntu11:03
GolynxAnd why did it only say 2D acceleration when i installed the driver, Yesterday it said 3D acceleration will be activated when installed11:05
Kilosmaybe there is a way to set it to 2d11:08
GolynxReally its should not be that hard , just to put an "Disable animated effects" option in unity 2D11:10
GolynxEven where i input text is lagged now11:10
GolynxWith mate i will have to install everything again11:12
Golynxhi magespawn11:13
GolynxKilos i see compiz is using 20% of the cpu all the time. That should not be happening11:20
Kilosthats mainly because of min ram i think11:23
Kilosisnt there a way to make it use 2d11:23
GolynxAnd 60% cpu when i scroll in opera or move a window11:24
GolynxI dont know11:24
Kiloswait lemme ask google11:26
Kilosmaaz google how to revert to 2d on 12.0411:27

Golynxlemme try something11:31
Kilosreboot11:33
Kilosgraphics install stuff to kernel11:33
GolynxRight i managed to cure the lag issue, by rebooting and on login click on the ubuntu icon where it gives Ubuntu 3D and Ubuntu 2D options, so i picked 2D. No more lag and that pest "compiz" is dead11:45
Kilosyay11:49
Kiloswell done11:50
Kilossoon you can help me11:50
Golynxlol , i dunno why they hide that option though11:50

Kilosthats good11:51
Golynxlol, a student cannot help his teacher 11:52

Kilosoh yes11:52
Kilosthe student just needs to think more11:53
Golynxhaha ya sure :p11:53

Kilosthere wasnt one11:59
Golynxlol , thats a nice one 11:59

GolynxThanks i will remember that12:01
GolynxYour a wise one :)12:01
Kilosna12:02

Kiloskb/s or kB/s12:17
Kiloswb magespawn 12:17
GolynxWb magespawn12:22
somaunnKilos: that's good12:24
Kiloswish it was after 14.04 release date12:35
magespawnthanks guys12:35
Kiloswanna try kubuntu 14.0412:35
magespawni have a complex question here12:35
Kilossjoe12:35
magespawnon this machine i can get out on to the internet my ip address is 10.0.0.114 netmask 255.255.255.0 12:36
magespawnon my lubuntu laptop i dead end in a router config page at 10.0.10.1 and my ip is 10.0.0.115 netmask 255.0.0.012:37
magespawnmy question is how is this possible?12:38
magespawni understand they are on two different subnets but as far as i have been told there is only one router here.12:39
magespawnnow obviously this is wrong12:39
* magespawn goes on a router hunt12:42
mazalBye everyone , enjoy your evening12:42
Kilosmagespawn: you can set your ips and stuff in nm12:48
Kiloscant remember the iptables cli way12:52
Kilosbut why worry if it can go online anyway12:52
Kilosbut dont routers asign ips automatically13:00
magespawnthat is the thing Kilos 13:04
magespawnthis one is win7 set dhcp the other is lubuntu also set to dhcp13:05
Kilosai!13:05
Kilosya then the router is asigning them but as long as they can both go online thats good aint it13:05
Kilosor doesnt the lappy go online?13:08
Kilosthe netmask thing13:09
magespawnthe lubuntu one does not13:27
magespawnunplugged and replugged the cable ane hey presto13:28
magespawnnow it is online13:28
Kilosthen you gotta go into the router and allow it isnt it13:29
Kilosoh my13:30
Kiloswell theres a luck13:30
Kilosno thinking needed13:30
magespawnstrange, and that is not good13:30
Kilosdidnt you chnage routers13:31
Kiloschange13:31
Kilosthey are stupi things and sometimes only work after rebooting13:31
somaunnmagespawn: if i get you well your Lubuntu box doesn't pick up dhcp address in auto and you have to unplug and plug again13:33
somaunnKilos: what is the best shell editor13:53
somaunni'm studying powershell as part of job to do13:53
Kilosi like nano13:53
Kilosbut gedit is good13:53
Kilosi dunno about shells, is that terminals?13:53
somaunnbut would like to know if there is something similar13:54
Kiloslike with bash?13:54
Kilosi get lost with all these things13:54
somaunndo you know something similar to powershel under linux13:55
Kilossuch involved questions you must ask inetpro or superfly 13:55
KilosMaaz: google alternative to powershell for linux13:56
MaazKilos: "Microsoft PowerShell 2: Going Beyond its UNIX/Linux Insprirations ..." http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2008/05/microsoft_powershell_2_going_b.html :: "Replacement for Powershell ? - Windows 7 Help Forums" http://www.sevenforums.com/software/161973-replacement-powershell.html :: "Windows PowerShell for UNIX shell addicted person - nixCraft"13:56

Kiloslook at the last one i think13:56
Kilosi go fetch sheep quick13:58
GolynxI gave up on Gedit, it did'nt indent my code as i wanted. So i chose Geany instead. Its a nice light little ide13:58
Golynxhave fun Kilos13:59
inetprosomaunn: shell editor or command line editor?14:00
magespawnlater all14:01
inetprovi or actually vim is the most popular editor by far14:02
inetprovi is just a shortcut to vim14:02
inetproon any modern linux distro at least14:03
somaunninetpro: something similar to powershell14:03
inetprosomaunn: what is powershell?14:03
inetproWindows PowerShell is Microsoft's task automation and configuration management framework, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on .NET Framework.14:04
inetprosomaunn: you mean that ^^ ?14:04
somaunnyes 14:04
inetprothat has very little to do with an editor14:05
inetproand that powershell thingy on windows doesn't come close to what we have on Linux14:06
superflyPowerShell is Microsoft's very late answer to what the UNIX world has had for more than 30 years14:06
inetprothank you superfly14:07
somaunninetpro: thanks 14:07
somaunnwhat do we have on linux14:08
somaunnthen14:08
inetproBourne shell14:09
inetproC shell14:09
inetproBourne-Again shell 14:09
inetproDebian Almquist shell 14:09
inetproKorn shell 14:09
inetproZ shell 14:09
inetproand many more14:09
inetproeven python 14:10
inetproand some people even prefer to stick with just tee-cee-shell14:11
inetprotcsh14:11
inetprothe C shell is like a C programming environment on steroids14:14
somaunninetpro: okay, as far as i know i can access bash from terminal14:15
somaunnbut i would like to have a dedicated interface to interract with bash14:15
inetproas far as I'm aware bash is probably the most widely used14:15
inetprowhat do you mean with dedicated interface?14:16
inetproon Kubuntu konsole is my dedicated interface that is always open on my screen14:17
somaunninetpro: like this http://goo.gl/x495by14:20
Kilossjoe14:20
KilosMaaz: LPI manual14:21
Maazhttp://www.linuxcertification.co.za/sites/default/files/LPIManual_v_09.pdf14:21
inetprorephrase: on Kubuntu, konsole is my dedicated interface and is always in use 99.9% of the time14:21
Kilosonly shells i like have oysters and mussels in them14:22
Golynxlol14:29
inetprosomaunn: are you using Ubuntu?14:31
Kilossomaunn: get the manual in the above link. you can learn lots about everything there14:31
inetproand what version?14:31
Kilosyou too Golynx 14:31
inetprosomaunn: if you ask me this evening I might have more time to answer14:32
inetproobviously others are welcome to chip in at any time14:32
inetproeven Kilos knows how to open and close the command line interface14:34
GolynxWhy use that Kilos. I google anytime i get stuck with something , all in one file is not my style14:34
KilosGolynx: is you can learn to do everything in that maunual you can go write the LPI exam14:35
Kilosits the study manual for linux professionals 14:35
Kilosor peeps that wanna be pros14:36
GolynxI'm a web developer though14:36
Kilosi only understand the first 2 pages14:36
Kiloswhen you doing nothing you can study14:37
Kilosnever stop learning14:37
Golynxok cool , will look at it as soon as i can download pdf's14:37
Kiloshuh?14:38
Kilosyou mean data wise?14:38
Kilosyou dont need to install anything else. ubuntu can read pdfs14:38
GolynxNope , opera gives blank screen14:39
Kilosoh my i had that did something in settings14:39
Kilosor use firefox14:40
Kilosit should be installed ther14:40
Kilosethere14:40
Kilosai!14:40

somaunnMaaz: cool14:40
MaazThat is good to know14:40
somaunninetpro: not i'm using Fedora and redhat14:41
Kilosah then Squirm is the goto guy for probs with redhat stuffs14:42
GolynxBug in opera , cant untick hide filetype extensions14:42
GolynxWhat is that terminal download manager ?14:43
somaunnGolynx: leave opera jump the firefox14:43
inetprosomaunn: hmm... nothing wrong with that, question that needs to be answered is, what desktop environment you use14:43
inetprois it Gnome or KDE?14:43
inetproor something else14:43
Golynxsomaunn firefox are too intense on my system14:43
somaunninetpro: Gnome 3.10 (gnome-shell)14:44
inetprosomaunn: in that case gnome-shell is your dedicated environment to interact with bash14:44
somaunnGolynx: yeah i realized the same but as i don't like chromium at all so i have to keep stayin on firefox14:44
somaunncuz i use downthemall to DL my files 14:45
somaunninetpro: oooooooooookaaaaayyyyyyyyyy14:45
