Kiloslike when i started everyone helped me06:21
Kilosso i been trying to help out because you okes are so busy06:24
inetprowhich is all fine06:24
inetprobut nobody is paid to give support and you can't sue anyone for giving wrong advise06:24
Kiloslol06:25
inetproadvice*06:25
inetproobviously everyone helps where he can06:26
inetprobut ultimately the official support is somewhere else06:26

Kiloswe are then the za loco06:28
inetproyou also pay for official support 06:28
Kilosoh06:28

Kiloshi bduk1 06:38
bduk1Goodmorning Kilos  and everyone06:38
mazalOom Kilos , hou mail dop. Ek het 'n tricky probleem gestuur06:42
Kilosai!06:42
Kiloshaha mazal what folder is it and what is the path to it06:44
mazalIt is an old backup06:44
Kilosrsync backup?06:45
Kilosor deja dup06:45
mazalThat one was a manual copy and paste that created it. But now during daily rsync , rsync says it can't read that folder06:45
mazalWhich causes problems to my whole rsync process06:45
Kilosthe whole backup folder or just one in it?06:46
mazalI don't need that folder at all anymore , but I can't get the thing removed06:46
mazalIt has a long path with full off empty folders06:46
Kilosi would chown it06:46
mazalIt's NTFS , linux permissions don't work on it06:46
Kilosntfs locked maybe06:47
mazalYou think I must try delete it in windoze ?06:47
Kilosyou can but thats no fun06:47
Kilosthat would be easier though if you have a win machine to use06:48
mazalDie werk het baie06:48
Kilosi would still try chown that one folder06:48
Kiloslast resort chown -R06:48
mazalk gonna try chown quick , hang on06:48
Kilosmake sure you have the path right06:48
Kilosi actually chowned my whole external so buntu be the boss06:50
mazalOwner already correct ( my user )06:51
mazalBut did chown -R anyway , didn't help06:51
GolynxMorning ubuntu-za06:52
Golynxhi mazal06:52
mazalMorning Golynx 06:52
Kilosyou cant right click on the folder and remove to trash or tick it and use shift and delete key06:53
mazalDoesn't work , already tried06:53
Golynxhi Kilos06:53
Kiloshi Golynx 06:53
mazalThat's when I get the error " Directory not empty "06:53
Kilossjoe mazal 06:53
Kilostry renaming it06:53
mazalAnd I even tried with gksudo as well06:54
Kilosand make a new folder for your backup06:54
GolynxKilos i'm now in the fresh install of ubuntu. My data and all the Archives programs from the old one was on the dvd. 06:54
Kilosgreat06:55
Kilosbe careful of chown06:55
mazalCan rename it , still can't delete it06:55
GolynxJust an issue with gdebi now :/06:55
Kiloswhat Golynx ?06:56
Kilossudo aptitude reinstall gdebi06:56
GolynxIt does'nt auto detect the dependencies of packages, it only installs the one .deb06:56
GolynxIt always wana go online for the dependencies06:57
Kilosyou have your archives on dvd right06:57
GolynxYes06:57
Kiloscopy them to /var/cache/apt/archives/06:57
Kilosthats where the packages reside06:58
GolynxI tried that, but in synaptic nothing shows of those packages being installed06:58
Kilosi find it easier to drag drop them to desktop first06:58
Kilosthen use rsync to put them in archives folder06:58
Kilosit wont untill you do sudo apt-get update06:59
GolynxDid an update that was only 3MB 06:59
Kilosfirst move all those packages to desktop07:00
Kilosforget synaptic for now07:00
Golynxok07:00
GolynxI did the "2.1. Installing via the command line" part of this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI. But when i reboot the graphics card is still Unknown07:04
Kilosare the packages on desktop?07:04
Kilosforget everything else07:05
GolynxYes07:06
Kilosok now in terminal07:06
Kilossudo rsync -av ~/Desktop/folder name/ /var/cache/apt/archives/07:07
Kilosi hope all packages are in one folder07:07
GolynxShould i put all the packages in a folder , not just on the desktop07:08
Kilosyes all in one folder, i call mine precise07:08
GolynxOk done07:09
Kilosok then sudo rsync -av ~/Desktop/precise/ /var/cache/apt/archives/07:10

Kilosdont just strat unticking07:34
Kilosstart07:34
Kiloslook first07:34
Kilosi gotta go let sheep out quick07:35
Kiloswbb07:35
Kiloswhat are the big ones Golynx ?07:39
GolynxIt says 88,2 MB in update manager07:39
Kilosyou can untick all thunderbird firefox gwibber07:40
Kilosthats because of the kernels too i spose07:40
Golynxi see linux kernel headers 3.2 at 38MB and 11 MB 07:40
Kilosyou dint have them saved for some reason07:40
Kilosdont do anything07:40
Kilostell me what else is there07:40
Kilosapt-get dont upgrade kernels07:41
Kiloslook what made up the other 40 m07:41
Kilos47.9m that is07:42
GolynxOther smaller things , like unity stuff and printing stuff and nvidia stuff07:42
Vince-0Fraaday, Kilos. How's paradise treating you07:42
Kilosyou dall small?07:42
Kilosgood ty Vince-0 07:43
Kilosand you?07:43
GolynxUpdate manager says 88.2MB07:43
Kilosthats with the kernels yes07:43
Kilosis everything else small07:43
Golynxapt-get dont upgrade kernels , what is it for ?07:44
Kiloseverything else07:45
Kilosthe important working stuff07:45
GolynxYes , just the kernels thats big07:45
Golynxits 131 updates07:46
Kilossigh then you didnt sync them all before reinstalling07:47
Kilosthey are all important upgrades07:47
Kiloswell see if you can still keep working without upgrading them07:47
Kilosthen on the 15th do them07:48
Kilosand after every upgrade do sudo rsync -av /var/cache/apt/archives/ ~/Desktop/precise/07:49
Kilosthen you lose nothing07:49
GolynxI never did an upgrade since i started ubuntu, and everything worked before07:49
Kilosyou have just installed from the dvd again right?07:50
GolynxYes07:50
Kilosso you are back where you first started07:50
Kilosremember all the arguments about upgrading07:51
Kiloswe are back there again07:51
GolynxI want the saved packages to be reinstalled again without me downloading them07:52
Kilosok then open the folder on desktop07:52
Kilosand right click what you want to install and open with gdebi07:53
Golynxand i should remove the stuff there in Archives07:53
Kilosno07:53
Golynxthey serve no perpose without the lock icon on them07:54
Kilosif you remove them it will want to download them from scratch07:54
Kilosforget the lock icon man07:54
Golynxif i install the same package from the desktop thats already in archives but not installed that will conflict07:55
Kilosno07:55
Kilosyou could also open /archives/ and do the same thing07:56
Kilosfrom desktop is just quicker07:56
GolynxI try installing with gdebi then it lists the dependencies in Detials, when i click install it wants to get them from the web instead of the folder where they are in 07:58
Kilosare you sure they are in there07:59
Kilosi dont think so07:59
GolynxKilos ubuntu is downloading stuff now i dont know what08:00
Golynxits already at 20 MB 08:00
Kiloseish08:00
mazalDid you previously install stuff from added ppa's ? If so you'll need to add those ppa's again and do apt-get update again first08:01
Kilosare you sure all the dependancies were saved in archives?08:01
Kilosty mazal 08:01
mazalAnd it might also be that his apt archives settings was on the default of deleting everything older than 30 days. So when he made the backup some stuff might already been deleted. ( depending on his backup procedures )08:02
Kilosi got him to tick leave all packages in archives08:03
mazalBut how does his 20archive in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d look ? If that is still set to delete older than 30 days won't it still delete it ?08:04
mazalIs the first thing I always do is to go change that default to all zeros08:04
charl_good morning08:05
Maazcharl_: By the way, inetpro on freenode told me "ask charl_ what is a kloterij?" 12 hours, 13 minutes and 20 seconds ago08:05
charl_Maaz: coffee on08:05
* Maaz flips the salt-timer08:05
inetprohi charl_08:05
charl_hi inetpro 08:05
charl_how's it going08:06
charl_gi Golynx 08:07
charl_*hi08:07
Golynxmazal there is no extra ppa's in Update manager08:07
Golynxhi charl_08:07
mazalGolynx, I have a feeling you did backup of archives after some of them was deleted already08:08
Kiloshi charl_ 08:08
GolynxI had to disconnect else whatever is downloading will eat all my data08:08
MaazCoffee's ready for charl_!08:09
mazaland possibility b is that some packages simply updated after the backup was made. Also very possible.08:09
Golynxmazal i erased ubuntu yesterday and installed again08:09
charl_Maaz: thanks08:09
Maazcharl_: Sure08:09
Kilosfrom the time that dvd was made there have been a couple of updates08:10
mazalAnd I would strongly suggest to either a. Backup the apt cache every day , or b. Disable the option that delete archives older than 30 days08:11
GolynxWhen i first installed the dvd the update was 16MB . Now i installed ubuntu again  its 3MB 08:11
GolynxI only started using ubuntu 30 days ago i think08:12
GolynxI installed Ubuntu-tweak and added its dependencies with it in a folder. Strange that installed.08:14
inetproai!08:27
Kilosshades of deja vu inetpro ?08:36
Kilosmazal, daar is antwoorde op jou pos08:43
mazalHet gesien dankie oom. Ek wag net vir die huidige rsync backup om klaar te maak dan gaan ek van dit try. Kannie nou reboot of die drive uittrek nie08:43
Kiloslaat weet wat werk08:45
Kilosdaai livecd is n plan dink ek08:45
Golynxai, i have to download everything again. That archives thing dont work08:47
GolynxKilos i'm gona remove the sync'd packages that were put there from desktop. Only installed packages belongs in archives08:50
Kiloswhen you get to your next install dont cry08:51
mazalKilos, I'm gonna try your idea of trying to delete it in Windoze first. I think you onto something with the NTFS lock08:51
Kilos?08:52
mazalDaai folder08:52
Kilosek hoop so08:52
GolynxIt does'nt make sense to have for example, "Abiword" in the archives when its not installed in synaptic08:53
Kilosforget making sense08:54
Kiloshi Xethron 08:55
Kilosthose archives when synced will save you lots of data when you need to install again08:55
Kilosand the space used is minimal and it dont slow down your pc08:56
Golynxhmm , i just wanted to install them offline so i dont have to download them again08:56
GolynxBut they are not installed08:56
GolynxWhy wont gdebi for example install them08:57
Kilosbecause there are updates needed that werent on that dvd08:59
Kilosdependancies08:59
Kilosnow if those dependancies were in the archives gdebi would install without downloading anything09:00
GolynxI got 315 packages mixed with their dependencies in the archives now09:01
GolynxFor example xubuntu-desktop. I got all its depencies but gdebi wana download them instead09:03
Kilosdid you sudo apt-get update after putting the packages there09:03
GolynxYes09:04
Kilosthen use synaptic to install09:04
Kiloshopefully that will see what you got09:04
Golynxok , i will go offline to try that09:05
Kilosyou mustnt start getting stuff and the dependancies and saving them in your own way09:05
Kilosuse the archives to save everything09:05
Kilosno need to sort each package and dependancies in their own folders09:06
Golynxwe already sync'd the archives i got from the old ubuntu to this new one09:06
Kilossynaptic also gives the y/n choice09:06
Kilosyes Golynx `but remeber please09:07
Kilosthat dvd is a month old already or more09:07
Kilosso you have just installed what i had here nothing after that09:07
Kilosand im sure you havent got all the packages in your synced folder09:08
Kilosyou saved only what you thought you needed09:08
GolynxKilos , i ticked xubunu-desktop in synaptic. It said it only has to download 52,6 Kb 09:09
Kilosthen go for it09:09
Kiloskb or kB09:10
GolynxSo it saw all the dependancies in the archives09:10
Kilosyes09:10
Golynxkb09:10
Golynxok09:10
Kilosbut you wanted to go remove them09:10
Kilossigh09:10
Golynxlol ai09:10
mazalOom Kilos , ek het hom ingeplug op een van my windoze bokse , toe kry ek dadelik daai pop-up van " Do you want to scan and fix ? ". Hy scan nou , dan gaan ek try delete sommer op windoze as hy klaar is09:18
Kilosaha09:18
mazalSelle error op windoze ook. " Folder not empty " As ek die folder try oop maak sê hy " Folder corrupt ". So hy is corrupt , maar ek mag hom nie delete nie. Nou try ek daai chkdsk wat voorgestel is op die mail09:22
Kilossjoe09:25
GolynxKilos Xfce session seems to be working ok. Now the drivers :/09:34
Kiloswhat drivers?09:34
GolynxDo you think when i tick "Activate" in Additional drivers it will detect that the driver packages is already in the archives ?09:35
Kilosfind the package in the archives or desktop and gdebi it09:36
GolynxIt says "Unknown" for graphics drivers09:36
Kilosactivate downloads it first09:36
Kiloswas some ati thing09:36
Kilosdid you delete it after you got it last time09:36
GolynxI did that already with gdebi. The fglrx drivers , but it didnt work when i rebooted09:37
GolynxNope its in the archives09:37
Kilosok then if you choose the right one and activate then it should work09:38
GolynxIt only shows the fglrx driver in Additional Drivers09:39
Kilosgood try activate09:39
GolynxBut i dunno if it will wana download the whole 39,2MB again , 09:39
Kilosunplug your modem09:39
GolynxThat wont work it detects them via online method09:40
Golynxor search for the drivers online09:40
Golynxor should i unplug after its shows the results ?09:41
Kilosdid you not install it with gdebi?09:42
Kilosor is it in synaptic09:42
Kilosmaybe it needs only to be activated09:42
Golynxyes then uninstalled it09:42
Kiloswhy???????09:42
GolynxIt was'nt working09:43
Kilosmaybe it needed activating only09:43

Kilosdont play with stuff you dont understand10:54
Kiloslike chown10:55
GolynxI did'nt know linux was this sensitive though, but good to know wont make the same mistake again10:56
Kiloslinux commands are very powerful10:56
Kiloscan work wonders, shorten jobs and KILL things10:57
GolynxWhen i install apache server and mysql, i will make a script to let php create the folders i need , instead of creating it via file manager. That mixed up the permissions10:57
Golynxi see, thats good10:58
GolynxKilos does sudo get-apt install  , also check in archives if the package exists already ?11:01
Kilosyes11:01
Kilosalso it remembers what it found in update11:01
Kilosso if you add packages manually you do sudo apt-get update again11:02
Golynxok nice11:02
Kilosalso if you add a ppa11:02
GolynxI wana do sudo get-apt install lamp-server^  , to install the lamp stack of apache,mysql,php 11:03
Golynxah thats good11:04

Kiloswas inna bath15:03
theblazehenkk, np15:03
theblazehenWas just wondering15:04
Kiloshehe15:04
Kilosohi Xethron 16:22
GolynxAlways focus on the details :)17:37
Golynxcost me 52MB , but well worth it17:41
Kiloswhat details17:41
GolynxFor example the file mysql-client-core-5.5_5.5.35-0ubuntu0.12.04.2_i386.deb in the update did'nt match the mysql-client-core-5.5_5.5.35-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb in my backedup archive17:43
Golynxtook me a while to figure it out17:43
Kilosya .2 is a later version17:44
Kilosshould even be .3 or .4  already17:44
GolynxSo i had to download the new version 17:44
superflytheblazehen: are you around?17:44
Kilossynaptic should get the later version17:44
Kiloshi superfly 17:45
Golynxbut php and apache2 installed with no download needed17:45
superflyhi Kilos17:45
Golynxoh dunno about that, aslong as it works now :)17:45
Golynxhi superfly17:45
Kilossynaptic always gets the latest versions unless you have them locked17:46
GolynxWill be more carefull when doing chown in future 17:46
Kilosthen only aptitude will get the later ones17:46
GolynxI dunno17:47
Kilosyou need to spend time on linux and get to know it before trying things like chown17:47
Kilosi do know17:47
Kilosapt-get and synaptic stick with locked versions17:48
GolynxI have to use chown to get my server config right though17:48
Kilosaptitude goes past the lock and fetches them anyway17:48
Kilosdo you start it with sudo?17:48
Kilosis that why you battle17:48
Kilossudo makes you root17:49
superflyohi Golynx17:49
GolynxIn order for php to create a new file or folder it needs that root access on the file to create them17:50
Golynxelse it will error out permission denied17:50
Kilosok17:50
GolynxI will try aptitude next time if i wana update mysql, but really no need to do that on my little dev server17:53
Kilosupgrading is to get improved software not fore bigger machines17:53
Golynxbig production servers need the latest updates of such software17:53
Kilosas the dev guys improve packages they release them as upgrades17:54
Kiloshi nlsthzn 17:54
Golynxhi nlsthzn17:54
Golynxyes Kilos you are correct17:54
nlsthznalo Kilos , Golynx and all17:55
Kilosyou need to chat to dev guys to understand what its all about\17:56
Kilosnot like windows where updating breaks things17:56
nlsthznhmmm... I dunno about updates breaking things in Windows...17:57
Kilosthere is a dev channel somewhere on freenode where you could watch them work through issues17:57
* Kilos punches nlsthzn 17:57
* nlsthzn doesn't feel anything as Linux commands doesn't work on Windows :p17:58
Kilosactually 7 aint too bad17:58
Kiloshaha17:58
* nlsthzn is running 7 again17:58
nlsthznit has solved my DE problem17:58
Kilosi have it going on your mobo17:58
Golynxi understand Kilos :)17:58
Kiloson the scrap 2TB drive17:59
Kilosi like fiddling with hardware17:59
Kilosat least you can see something17:59
theblazehensuperfly, yeah18:00
nlsthznI understand the philosophy of FLOSS and believe it is superior and will overcome in the end, but I am not a zealot about it and Win 7 does more for me on this desktop currently...18:00

magespawnso it seems to be the s.o.p18:13
magespawnGolynx, i found this today http://tille.garrels.be/training/18:14
nlsthznI actually also liked vista... it just needed more ram... 4gb and you where good to go18:14
theblazehennlsthzn, never tried vista. Liked longhorn beta though18:16
magespawnwhen it first came out it used to drive me mad because of the almost complete lack of driver support18:16
theblazehenbut I dont trust 10-year-old-me's judgement that well18:16
nlsthznthat was an issue I remember :)18:16
nlsthznbut I only got it much later so it didn't bother me18:16
nlsthznI was running Windows 7 the day the beta started... literally was online right when it landed by chance and downloaded and installed it :p18:17
theblazehenSo I signed up in the LOPSA mentorship program... :D18:19
Golynxwill check it out ty magespawn18:20

superflynlsthzn: http://www.douwe-egberts.co.uk/about-de/sustainability/18:46
theblazehenhey, anyone good as SQL?18:46
superflytheblazehen: I've done a bit in my time18:48
superfly(most notably, CareerJunction et al)18:48
Golynxare you using prepared statements theblazehen?18:50
theblazehenGolynx, nope, just mysql console || fly: thanks but figured it out18:50
theblazehenWas mass-deleting wiki pages18:50
Golynxoh ok, pdo or mysqli is a must though18:51
superflyGolynx, theblazehen: You should look into SQLAlchemy, a Python ORM18:51
theblazehensuperfly, ah?18:51
theblazehenGolynx, I'm not gonna be rewriting mediawiki to use that..18:52
superflyusers = User.query().filter(User.name == 'theblazehen').order(User.name.desc()).fetch()18:52
* superfly sees Python rainbows18:52
theblazehensuperfly, ooh nice :)18:53
Golynxoh, then you better keep the wiki a secret from the wrong eyes theblazehen ;)18:53
superflyhttp://xkcd.com/353/18:53
theblazehenGolynx, why? Wikipedia uses mediawiki, so must be good enough...18:54
Golynxsuperfly i will try that when i do django this year18:54
theblazehensuperfly, bobby tables right?18:54
theblazehenToo lazy to look18:54
superflyGolynx: don't do django until you've looked at Flask18:55
superflyGolynx: Django is a pile of NIH syndrome18:55
superflytheblazehen: no, import antigravity18:55
superflyDjango != Python\18:55
theblazehensuperfly, ah, love that one :)18:55
theblazehenBTW open interactive python and do it superfly 18:55
Golynxok whatever is best for you theblazehen18:55
superflyhrm, Python 2 or 3?18:56
theblazehenboth, afaik18:56
magespawnhttp://www.makeuseof.com/tag/nadella-gates-android-winning-facebook-paper-bieber-begone-tech-news-digest/ the last article and the petition has to have an official response18:56
superflytheblazehen: bwahahaha! nice!18:56
theblazehensuperfly, I know right :)18:56
superflytheblazehen: have you tried "import this" ?18:57
GolynxI'm used to python 3.2 though , 2.7 i always forget print (' ') instead of print ' ' 18:57
theblazehensuperfly, I have now :)18:57
superflyGolynx: stick with Python 318:57
theblazehensuperfly, besides that 3 is newer, why python 3 ?18:58
Kilossuperfly, whats the parameters Syntax: SET <#channel> <setting> [parameters]18:58
Golynxsuperfly good, what do you recommend then for web dev in python18:58
superflyGolynx: Flask18:58
superflytheblazehen: unicode. unicode. unicode. by default.18:58
superflytheblazehen: that alone is reason enough.18:59
theblazehensuperfly, I'm convinced18:59
Golynxya flask is lightweight , will try that19:00
nlsthznI haven't seen instant versions of it yet superfly , then again I haven't really looked :p19:00
superflyGolynx: I think Flask works on Python 319:00
magespawnGolynx, some more reading material if you are interested http://fullcirclemagazine.org/19:01
superflyflask.pocoo.org/docs/python3/19:01
GolynxYes i see superfly "Flask and all of its dependencies support Python 3 so you can in theory start working on it already."19:02
Golynxty magespawn , i will check that19:03
Kilosmagespawn, pop in there again please19:04
Golynx_Kilos do you know these MB's of stuff that always wana download ? I have to disconnect everytime an ftp server shows in iftop19:13
Kilosnope i can use 10m a day if i dont use the browser19:14
Kilosi dont connect to other servers and things19:15
Golynx_What is being upgraded ? i disabled everything related to automatic updates in update manager19:15
Golynx_That thing downloaded 20MB of stuff today , and it keeps wanting more19:16
Golynx_I dont connect to other servers either , no ppa's here also. Ever since the security stuff was enabled and the change to South African server this thing happened19:18
Kilosonly one thing you need to change in update manager and that is where it want to check every 10 mins or something. you set that to never but dont mess with the rest19:20
theblazehencya guys19:20
Golynx_So i'm gonna disable security upgrades in a file somewhere and change to Main server19:20
Kilostoods theblazehen 19:20
KilosGolynx_, 19:20
Kiloswhat are you talking about19:20
Kilosall the servers have the same info on them19:21
Golynx_yes its set to Never update automatically19:21
Kilosall you do by changing is make update start from scratch again19:21
Kilosyou mess this install up you fix it yourself this time19:22
Kilosyou remember the work it was to get it working last time19:22
Golynx_But i dont want this big background downloads19:22
Kilosits from something else man19:23
Kilosi dont understand the ftp server stuff19:23
Golynx_I'm gona do this http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2013/11/29/configure-automatic-updates-ubuntu-server/19:23
Kilosim not looking there19:23
Golynx_Will see if it stops this thing19:23
Golynx_Its to configure unattended-upgrades19:24
Golynx_but in a file19:24
Kilosi have told you how i do things19:25
Kilosthey work for me19:26
Golynx_When a pc does things automatically without me knowing about it. I get upset lol19:26
Kilosyou set it to never19:26
Kilosthen other stuff is what you have added19:26
Kilosyou gonna mess it up again19:26
Kilosi give up19:27
Golynx_Nope its still from the ubuntu dvd 19:27
Golynx_I did'nt change anything , apart from the programs i need19:27
Kiloswhat?19:27
Kilosmy iftop never shows downloads from ftp servers19:28
Golynx_mine does and its a different one all the time19:28
Kilosi use the same dvd to install with19:29
Golynx_its ok i will try sort it out, with minimal damage19:29
Kilosi dont understand whats happening there19:30
Golynx_I'm sure its just security upgrades getting downloaded piece by piece19:31
Kilosthey wont on thier own'19:33
Golynx_Strange that sites file it says // Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin:archive) paris  . And in mine // Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin:archive) pairs19:33
Kilosthat never means you must start an upgrade'19:33
Golynx_pairs instead of paris :/19:34
Kilosjust a typo at the site19:34
Golynx_In a setting in my file it says //Unattended-Upgrade::MinimalSteps "true";19:35
Golynx_That means download bit by bit19:35
Golynx_ok i see19:36
Kilosin what file do you see these things?19:37
Kiloshi charl_ 19:37
Golynx_This one /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades19:38
Golynx_hi charl_19:38
Kiloseish you fiddle where angels fear to tread19:38
Golynx_no i just glance there lol19:39
Golynx_And this one is to disable or enable all automatic updates /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic19:42
Golynx_"1" for on "0" for off19:42
Kilosthat never button does ll that19:45
Kilosall19:45
Golynx_ya true, i will try keep on searching whats causing my issue19:46
magespawnback again, just killed the data on the tablet19:47
Golynx_btw do you use the Main Server or SA server?19:48
Golynx_seems like the download mirrors is causing this19:49
Golynx_wb magespawn19:50
magespawnty19:50
Kilossa server19:51
Kilosonly when its down i switch19:51
Golynx_oh ok19:52

Kilos 1     Kilos                  +AFRfiorstv (FOUNDER) [modified 1 day, 00:38:23 ago]hat more must i do20:13
Golynx_ftp.heanet.ie is a download mirror in ireland for ubuntu releases . I see alot of ubuntu iso stuff there20:17
Golynx_Why its picking on little old me i dunno :/20:18
Golynx_Kilos in Updates tab in update manager. Can i disable the bottom 3 of the 4 ticks ?20:20
magespawnbed time good night all 20:20
Golynx_Install from: Recommended updates  and and Unsupported updates20:21
Golynx_or just Unsupported updates (precise backports)20:22
Kilosi dont understand that20:26
Golynx_me neither :)20:27
Golynx_btw what is ticked by you at Update tab in update manager20:28
Kiloslemme look20:33
Golynx_ok20:34
Kilos1st second and 4th20:36
Kilosticked20:36
Golynx_mine is the same20:36
Golynx_What about Other Software tab20:37
Kilosubuntu software top 4 ticked20:37
Golynx_Ubuntu Software mine is the same20:37
Kilosother software first 4 plus opera20:38
Kilosthats it20:38
Golynx_Only Canonical partners and Independant is ticked by me20:39
Golynx_Canonical partners and Independant got the (sources) too but thats unticked20:40
Kilosmine are ticked20:41
Golynx_Found something interesting on ubuntu help site20:41
Golynx_It turns out that off does'nt mean off lol20:42
Kilospartners and independant are ticked20:42
Golynx_"When the apt job starts, it will sleep for a random period between 0 and APT::Periodic::RandomSleep seconds. The default value is "1800" so that the script will stall for up to 30 minutes (1800 seconds) so that the mirror servers are not crushed by everyone running their updates all at the same time. Only set this to 0 if you use a local mirror and don't mind the load spikes. Note that while the apt job is sleeping it will cause the execution20:42
Golynx_of the rest of your cron.daily jobs to be delayed."20:42
Golynx_So it will download stuff anyway after 30 minutes even set at off or "0"20:43
superfly0 is not off. 0 is 0 seconds to wait. You could try -120:44
Golynx_Are you sure -1 means off superfly ?20:46
superflyGolynx_: no, it doesn't mean off20:47
superflyit means set the interval to -1 seconds, which means it's always in the past. This gives you two possible scenarios: either never run, or always run20:47
Golynx_lol sounds risky 20:48
Golynx_will google some more ty20:49
