| Kilos | morning charl theblazehen and others | 06:19 |
|---|---|---|
| theblazehen | hey Kilos | 06:34 |
| theblazehen | Windows server taking forever to download... | 06:43 |
| inetpro | good mornings | 06:48 |
| Kilos | morning inetpro | 06:48 |
| Kilos | haha you missed the spit | 06:48 |
| inetpro | eish! | 06:49 |
| Kilos | haha | 06:49 |
| inetpro | why you doing that to me? | 06:50 |
| Kilos | you supposed to point me in the right direction always man | 06:50 |
| Kilos | whole prob with the graphics card is that my settings in /home arent set for 1024x768 | 06:51 |
| Kilos | until correct driver is installed pc keeps booting to cli | 06:51 |
| Kilos | now all the drives see the 64bit card | 06:52 |
| * Kilos sure you okes enjoy seeing me struggle | 06:52 | |
| * Kilos waits for this is not an official help channel | 06:53 | |
| theblazehen | hey inetpro | 06:54 |
| Kilos | but nvidia-current works so no need for the additional thing | 06:55 |
| Kilos | maybe we need to add to the agenda the suggestion to make this an official help channel | 06:56 |
| Kilos | too many good brains rest here | 06:57 |
| inetpro | sorry, was afk last night | 07:00 |
| Kilos | np | 07:00 |
| inetpro | will be with you in a few minutes | 07:00 |
| inetpro | ai! | 07:25 |
| inetpro | we can only help based on the inputs we get | 07:26 |
| inetpro | please note, it is not a 64bit card | 07:27 |
| inetpro | Maaz_: assumption | 07:27 |
| Maaz_ | An assumption is a proposition that is taken for granted, as if it were true based upon presupposition without preponderance of the facts | 07:27 |
| inetpro | Kilos: don't make assumptions | 07:28 |
| inetpro | many times problems can be caused by old settings in the home profile | 07:30 |
| inetpro | always a good idea to test with a new blank profile if you have problems | 07:30 |
| inetpro | but I also forgot to mention that | 07:31 |
| inetpro | Kilos: sorry oom | 07:31 |
| inetpro | also, if peeps don't help quick enough here, don't be afraid to go to #ubuntu for specific problems | 07:33 |
| not_found | morning all | 07:33 |
| inetpro | just make sure you come back to share your solution with us in the end | 07:34 |
| inetpro | Hi not_found | 07:34 |
| * inetpro got his self a new Galaxy Note 3 last night | 07:35 | |
| not_found | hiya inetpro, all well? | 07:35 |
| not_found | AWESOME! | 07:35 |
| inetpro | awesome phone | 07:35 |
| not_found | congrats! | 07:35 |
| inetpro | ty | 07:35 |
| * inetpro wbbl | 07:36 | |
| Golynx | hey Kilos | 07:37 |
| Golynx | 0.25 - 0.7 MHz is the minimum frequency ranges of your sig-gen | 07:38 |
| Kilos | hi not_found Golynx ty inetpro | 07:58 |
| Kilos | was afk | 07:58 |
| Kilos | Golynx, how do you know that? | 07:58 |
| Kilos | where did you get that info | 07:59 |
| Golynx | i saw it in the specifications link of the sig-gen you sent via pm | 08:00 |
| Kilos | aha ty | 08:00 |
| Kilos | i missed that, thought it could start fro nothing | 08:00 |
| Golynx | there's not much use for frequencies lower than 100khz these days or even in 1970 | 08:01 |
| Golynx | unless if you wana chase away the bugs ofcourse | 08:02 |
| not_found | o/ | 08:04 |
| Golynx | its easier to build your own bug repeller though, just make sure to cover your ears :) | 08:05 |
| Golynx | Hi not_found | 08:05 |
| Kilos | lol | 08:05 |
| Kilos | now i need the diagram and component list from you | 08:05 |
| Golynx | didnt you save those 2 links i gave you | 08:06 |
| Kilos | i have done a reinstall 3 times | 08:06 |
| Kilos | so dunno anymore | 08:07 |
| Kilos | nm not serious right now | 08:07 |
| Kilos | im not browsing much till monday when i get airtime | 08:07 |
| Golynx | hmm ok | 08:08 |
| Golynx | i cant browse either lol | 08:08 |
| Golynx | but its pretty simple circuits to make a basic frequency oscillator | 08:10 |
| Kilos | maybe i must put the sig-gen on olx | 08:13 |
| Kilos | if it cant kill noonoos its of no use to me anymore | 08:13 |
| Golynx | ya thats a good idea | 08:16 |
| charl | good morning | 12:58 |
| charl | good afternoon, i mean | 12:58 |

| Kilos | simple man | 19:20 |

| charl | qui-et | 19:21 |
| Kilos | ya | 19:21 |
| charl | ah i see it now | 19:21 |
| captine | Anyone had an issue when installing postgres on 12.04? I installed it, but whenever trying to connect to it following the ubuntu help documentation (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL) my machine says postgres is not running. | 19:28 |
| captine | ps hi charl. Sorry...only saw your message now | 19:28 |
| superfly | captine: I presume you've run "sudo /etc/init.d/postgres start" ? | 19:39 |
| superfly | captine: and you've also checked the log files? | 19:39 |
| captine | thanks superfly . Tried the postres start... nothing happens. am not sure which log file to check, but will try look there | 19:43 |
| superfly | captine: well, all the log files for your system are typically stored in /var/log, so I suggest looking in there... | 19:43 |
| captine | that's where i am | 19:45 |
| captine | no postgres specific one. looking at postgres docs to try figure it out | 19:45 |
| not_found | quick look at my current desktop - http://youtu.be/GFJbkDUS028 | 19:46 |
| captine | looks really nice | 19:54 |
| captine | makes me want to go diving | 19:55 |
| charl | what is that not_found is that kde ? | 19:59 |
| charl | makes me light headed that background :) | 20:00 |
| not_found | kde 4.12.1 | 20:02 |
| not_found | kubuntu 13.10 | 20:02 |
| charl | ah very nice | 20:05 |
| charl | that video had as a related video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SeS5IAYvdc | 20:06 |
| charl | now i am watching it and there is a guy with a dutch name, i thought why does he have a funny accent | 20:06 |
| charl | turns out he is from south africa http://ae.linkedin.com/pub/neil-van-der-veen/40/4/a38 | 20:07 |
| captine | lol | 20:07 |
| charl | he is the architect in abu dabi | 20:07 |
| not_found | :) | 20:08 |
| not_found | cool | 20:08 |
| charl | actually now that i click back you also have a dutch name | 20:09 |
| charl | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oosthuizen | 20:09 |
| not_found | ;) | 20:10 |
| charl | from north-holland | 20:10 |
| not_found | well the origin of the surname | 20:11 |
| charl | dutch people picked surnames about 800 years ago during a french occupation | 20:12 |
| charl | most people picked stupid surnames because they thought the surnames would leave along with the french | 20:12 |
| charl | french left, surnames stayed | 20:12 |
| charl | a lot of people simply picked the place they come from as the surname | 20:12 |
| not_found | interesting | 20:14 |
| charl | it was for taxation actually | 20:14 |
| not_found | sucks :p | 20:14 |
| charl | yeah you still get some stupid surnames drifting around, but most people had the offensive ones changed later | 20:15 |
| charl | because some dutch actually picked blatantly offensive surnames to mock the french | 20:15 |
| not_found | makes sense :D | 20:15 |
| charl | there was somebody in the newspaper who had their name changed from "broekaf" | 20:16 |
| charl | if you have an offensive surname you can have it changed for free | 20:16 |
| charl | otherwise you have to pay a few hundred euro i think because it has to be updated everywhere | 20:16 |
| charl | on your passport, id card, etc etc | 20:16 |
| charl | all kinds of official documents and records | 20:17 |
| not_found | well I am just stuck with a long surname :) | 20:17 |
| charl | it's not that long, a lot of people have longer | 20:17 |
| charl | you don't have a "tussenvoegsel" at least, i do | 20:17 |
| not_found | :) | 20:17 |
| charl | i read somewhere that in south africa you get our id cards now | 20:19 |
| not_found | don't know... not been in SA for some time (except for a quick few days a few weeks ago) | 20:21 |
| not_found | Kim Dotcom is one of my favourite people to keep an eye on currently :) | 20:22 |
| charl | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemalto | 20:23 |
| charl | that company, had to find it back again | 20:23 |
| charl | what is kim up to... hes doing a music site now ? | 20:23 |
| not_found | baboom | 20:24 |
| not_found | been playing with it for a bit... very slick html 5 and all | 20:25 |
| not_found | and downloaded his album... it is dance music not my fave but works for background noise when playing games :)_ | 20:25 |
| charl | lol | 20:26 |
| charl | i like dance but i am not crazy about his album, there are one or two good tracks though | 20:27 |
| not_found | I have found a few that are catchy enough | 20:27 |
| charl | a guy i know from efnet/ircnet now made his own house radio http://angelicfm.nl/ | 20:27 |
| charl | that's more my kind of stuff | 20:27 |
| not_found | cool | 20:30 |
| charl | i just opened a beer which is brewed in the same city as where i live | 20:46 |
| charl | real local beer - very good | 20:46 |
| charl | microbrewery | 20:46 |
| superfly | not_found: quick question, what's a decent but "cheap" nvidia graphics card? I'm thinking about possibly upgrading mine, but I'm not sure what'll give me the best bang for buck at an affordable price. | 20:51 |
| not_found | not so sure at the moment superfly... | 20:52 |
| not_found | I seem many going for the 660 | 20:53 |
| charl | superfly: are you building a windows desktop? :) | 20:53 |
| superfly | no, but I want to play some of my Linux games at a decent framerate | 20:54 |
| charl | is linux + nvidia a safe combination ? | 20:54 |
| not_found | some say the best | 20:55 |
| superfly | It seems to be. I've stuck with nVidia for years | 20:55 |
| charl | i had too many problems with nvidia in the past, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't | 20:55 |
| charl | sometimes it works and then it breaks with an upgrade | 20:55 |
| not_found | give me a sec just playing some heartstone brbr | 20:55 |
| charl | haven't you guys heard what linux torvalds himself said about nvidia? :) | 20:55 |
| superfly | only problem I've had is the stupid dkms not recompiling the kernel module when a new kernel is installed | 20:55 |
| not_found | he gave them thumbs up now | 20:55 |
| charl | linus torvalds sorry | 20:55 |
| superfly | charl: ^^ what not_found said | 20:56 |
| charl | ah when was this? haven't heard that yet | 20:56 |
| superfly | about 2 weeks ago? | 20:56 |
| charl | googling it now but only finding the finger from two years ago | 20:57 |
| superfly | http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57618221-94/torvalds-gives-nvidia-software-thumbs-up-not-middle-finger/ | 20:57 |
| superfly | OK, not quite two weeks ago | 20:57 |
| superfly | a week | 20:57 |
| charl | ah nice ! | 20:58 |
| charl | slightly older: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/09/nvidia-seeks-peace-with-linux-pledges-help-on-open-source-driver/ | 20:58 |
| not_found | but that has nothing to do with proprietary drivers in any case | 20:58 |
| charl | this is great news | 20:58 |
| charl | but yeah it will be a while before i would even consider using nvidia again | 20:59 |
| charl | i am sticking firmly to intel hd for the moment | 20:59 |
| superfly | meh. I've had so many issues with Intel, I would rather use ATI at this stage -_- | 20:59 |
| charl | ati lol | 20:59 |
| not_found | I didn't have any issues with ATI | 20:59 |
| charl | what ever happened to the radeon drivers | 20:59 |
| superfly | intel works fine if you aren't doing anything more than looking at terminals | 20:59 |
| not_found | ran a hd 6850 and it works well | 20:59 |
| charl | i would love to go back to amd but i abandoned them due to this nonsense with the radeon nonsense | 21:00 |
| not_found | the new intel coming with the iris pro CPU's is pretty awesome for embedded | 21:00 |
| charl | lol superfly i play 1080p using vlc without any problems whatsoever | 21:00 |
| charl | but yeah i don't play any 3d games | 21:00 |
| charl | oh i did my first experiment with raspberry pi the other day with raspbian | 21:01 |
| superfly | charl: yes, video is also fine... games are another matter completely | 21:01 |
| charl | superfly: yes that's true | 21:02 |
| captine | am also tying to stick to Intel for now. My laptop has nvidia optimus... what a pain | 21:02 |
| charl | raspberry does 1080p no problem but don't even try doing any simple animations | 21:02 |
| charl | but for many purposes it is good enough | 21:02 |
| not_found | superfly: use this http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ to get an idea of bang for buck | 21:02 |
| captine | raspberry pie is soo expensive in SA | 21:03 |
| superfly | at least I can play Portal on my current card... it's not so old that nVidia refuses to support it anymore | 21:03 |
| not_found | I can play most games now on high and newer games on medium to low for high demanding games using a 8800GT which is 5 years aold | 21:03 |
| not_found | the HD 6850 runs very well despite ATI drivers sucking | 21:03 |
| superfly | charl: the RPi has a dedicated x264 hardware decoder, video will work fine | 21:03 |
| charl | captine: how much does it cost? | 21:03 |
| charl | superfly: i think raspbian doesn't use it fully | 21:03 |
| captine | $25 overseas. Seen it for close to or over R1000 here, depending on thecasing you get | 21:03 |
| charl | or there was some other problem but we couldn't do much from a browser | 21:03 |
| charl | iceweasel was it | 21:04 |
| not_found | I was eyeing a 660 or perhaps one of the similarly priced 7 series from nvidia | 21:04 |
| captine | could be wrong, but that's what I saw the otherday | 21:04 |
| superfly | captine: eish! I got mine for about R360 | 21:04 |
| captine | really. Nice. | 21:04 |
| superfly | but that was *just* the pi | 21:04 |
| captine | where? | 21:04 |
| superfly | and I got it via RS Components | 21:04 |
| charl | captine: in NL it costs like 30 euro | 21:04 |
| superfly | mine was part of hte second batch of 10,000 | 21:04 |
| charl | captine: which i think sounds like a fair price | 21:04 |
| captine | yip | 21:04 |
| captine | oneday... i normally have my mac mini server plugged into the TV, but would prefer a small pie or dedicated media centre | 21:05 |
| superfly | not_found: thanks! | 21:05 |
| charl | people enjoy your evening, i'm off | 21:07 |
| Kilos | sleep tight night owls. see ya tomorrow | 21:07 |
| charl | have a good weekend | 21:07 |
| captine | superfly, what do you use the pie for? | 21:07 |
| charl | good night Kilos | 21:07 |
| captine | media playback? | 21:07 |
| captine | night | 21:07 |
| superfly | captine: nothing at the moment... I want to give it to my eldest | 21:07 |
| superfly | he's still a little young right now | 21:07 |
| not_found | np superfly, hope it helps :) | 21:09 |
| captine | nice | 21:11 |
| * not_found loving Heartstone and works well in Wine :DDDD | 21:15 | |
| superfly | not_found: did you see the latest humble bundle? | 21:22 |
| not_found | yup... I think we did discuss it the night it came out actually :p - It is awesome value for those that don | 21:23 |
| not_found | *don't already have the games | 21:23 |
| superfly | yup | 21:23 |
| not_found | very late here... I go sleep now... night ZA land | 21:23 |
