[07:46] <Kilos> yeah bought yesterday
[07:47] <Kilos> works on win but 12.04 doesnt see it
[07:47] <kbmonkey> you should check debian resources they usually the first to get things sorted
[07:47] <Kilos> shows in lsusb
[07:47] <Kilos> i dunno how to do that
[07:47] <Kilos> but peeps are buying them like mad so it gotta be added
[07:49] <kbmonkey> ah okay
[07:49] <Kilos> good price they going at. R399 for the starter pack and you get 200m free data monthly for a year

[07:51] <kbmonkey> I am on afrihost it is not usb, just wifi. no driver struggels ;}
[07:51] <kbmonkey> but connected through the phone now
[07:51] <Kilos> i dunno why they put the cd thing in modern modems
[07:51] <kbmonkey> yes it is really annoying that cd switch!
[07:52] <Kilos> should be fast once going though, can do 14.4 mb/s they say
[07:53] <Kilos> i dunno if modprobing it will help, but i cant find the right /dev/ttyusb? to enter
[07:53] <kbmonkey> :(
[07:53] <kbmonkey> it shows the cd and not the modem part?
[07:54] <Kilos> i dont see anything
[07:55] <Kilos> only lsusb sees it there
[07:55] <kbmonkey> i just drank a banana in chocolate milk
[07:55] <Kilos> lekker

[08:17] <Kilos__> and im still busy with the mount stuff
[08:18] <Kilos__> how did you get to me man the modems were unplugged and d-link plugged
[08:19] <Kilos__> only got to mount /dev/sr and hit tab twice then you said hope it works
[08:21] <Kilos__> mine shows as /dev/sr0 but when i try mount it it says mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
[08:21] <Kilos__> grrrr
[08:24] <kbmonkey> any other sr's?
[08:24] <Kilos__> nope
[08:24] <kbmonkey> eish
[08:24] <Kilos__> is the other one root
[08:24] <Kilos__> mount /dev/sr0 /
[08:25] <kbmonkey> no
[08:25] <Kilos__> thats what i see
[08:26] <Kilos__> but the thing connected so now im totally lost
[08:26] <kbmonkey> online?
[08:26] <Kilos__> ya we chatting through it here now
[08:26] <kbmonkey> you are too clever Kilos__ 
[08:26] <Kilos__> didnt you read what i said above
[08:26] <Kilos__> no man im lost
[08:27] <kbmonkey> it connected itself without you doing anything
[08:27] <Kilos> yeah
[08:27] <kbmonkey> my work here is done! :D
[08:28] <Kilos> nononono
[08:28]  * kbmonkey dusts hands
[08:28] <Kilos> how can that mount /devsr tab tab make it work
[08:28] <kbmonkey> nonono? don't give us mixed messages Kilos 
[08:28] <Kilos> not mixed man it means your work aint done
[08:29] <kbmonkey> it can't, mount failed - 
[08:29] <Kilos> well you tell me what happened then
[08:29] <kbmonkey> probably because it mounted itself before you got a chanceto
[08:29] <kbmonkey> ;)
[08:30] <Kilos> oh earlier i also got the .deb file off the modem with xp and tried to install it here but it never said done
[08:30] <Kilos> tried with gdebi and software centre but they both kept going back to install button lit up
[08:31] <Kilos> betcha if i reboot its gone again
[08:31] <kbmonkey> don;t reboot!
[08:32] <kbmonkey> Kilos will have the computer with the most uptime ever ;)
[08:32] <Kilos> hahaha so you mean leave the battle for tomorrow morning
[08:32] <Kilos> i switch off at night because we never know what the power is gonna do
[08:33] <kbmonkey> I do not think reboot will break it
[08:34] <Kilos> so how do i mount the thing so i can get the files off it
[08:36] <kbmonkey> you said you copied the files from xp right? 
[08:36] <kbmonkey> also you dont need the files after you installed
[08:36] <Kilos> the .deb ya
[08:36] <Kilos> it didnt complete the install
[08:36] <Kilos> supposed to say done
[08:37] <kbmonkey> yaaa that gui isn't very helpful./
[08:38] <kbmonkey> install with "sudo dpkg -i the-file.deb"
[08:39] <Kilos> lemme try that
[08:39] <kbmonkey> and it will tell you if it already installed
[08:41] <kbmonkey> typing is so very slow on phone connection :(
[08:47] <Kilos> oooo yay
[08:47] <Kilos> sudo dpkg -i /home/3g_modem_connect_DTLWB_D310A_amd64.deb
[08:47] <Kilos> says installed
[08:47] <Kilos> after doing its bit
[08:47] <Kilos> ty kbmonkey 
[08:48] <Kilos> i copied it to /home/ first
[08:54] <kbmonkey> oh that is good Kilos - I wonder why the gooey did not install it. anyway I hope it works now after reboot
[08:54] <Kilos> me too kbmonkey ty very muchness
[08:55] <Kilos> i need to remember dpkg -i
[08:56] <kbmonkey> the deb package manager, it is very useful
[08:57] <Kilos> yeah i see that
[09:00] <Kilos> oh my goodness
[09:00] <Kilos> it isnt connected via nm
[09:00] <Kilos> now im even more lost
[09:01] <Kilos> that no good to me because pidgin mxit and evolution dont work

[09:11] <Kilos> Error: message endpoint not given or found. Aborting.
[09:13] <kbmonkey> that model seems old, I bet the product id has changed
[09:14] <Kilos> i got that off the modem
[09:15] <Kilos> but that guy gives more info it things fail
[09:15]  * Kilos keeps working through it
[09:20] <kbmonkey> hmm, the product id changes after switching
[09:20] <Kilos> oh my
[09:20] <kbmonkey> please try what this does
[09:21] <kbmonkey> modprobe usbserial vendor=0x07d1 product=0x3e02
[09:21] <Kilos> ok
[09:21] <kbmonkey> sudo
[09:21] <Kilos> just goes back to prompt thing
[09:22] <kbmonkey> ok great. see if nm picks it up...
[09:22] <Kilos> nope

[09:32] <kbmonkey> searching the debian forums I see a few hits
[09:33] <kbmonkey> I have to clean the floors now, I will think on this problem Kilos :)
[09:33] <Kilos> ty kbmonkey 
[09:36] <kbmonkey> im waiting for the page to load so I can send you a link
[09:37] <kbmonkey> it is frozen, 
[09:37] <kbmonkey> ah there http://forums.debian.net/search.php?keywords=dvm-156+modem
[09:38] <Kilos> np im still connected and have old modem as fall back
[09:38] <Kilos> i go see
[09:40] <kbmonkey> hrumph. the info does not seem very helpful on this.
[09:40] <Kilos> no replies to it yet
[09:41] <kbmonkey> this modem model is around back to 2010 even. so it is not new, it should have config
[09:41] <kbmonkey> either the vendor changed the usb or it is a bug
[09:41] <Kilos> only with linux . works kiff in xp and 7
[09:42] <kbmonkey> you get all the luck Kilos ;D
[09:42] <Kilos> yeah
[09:42] <Kilos> haha
[09:42] <Kilos> told you before murphy lives here
[09:43] <Kilos> always trying to force me to use windows
[09:43] <Kilos> but he got 2 chances and they both zero
[09:45] <kbmonkey> does it not even show the fake cdrom heyy?
[09:45] <Kilos> how would you see that
[09:45] <Kilos> xp shows it
[09:46] <Kilos> thats where i got the .deb file
[09:46] <kbmonkey> run 'df'
[09:46] <kbmonkey> itshows mounted disks and cdroms and usbs
[09:47] <kbmonkey> i.e. it shows in file manager
[09:48] <Kilos> http://slexy.org/view/s2ISfLzkrZ
[09:48] <Kilos> maybe i should try get the modem upgraded on xp
[09:50] <kbmonkey> this is from the usb modeswitch forum
[09:50] <kbmonkey> http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?p=4145
[09:50] <Kilos> i been there
[09:50] <Kilos> thats where i started
[09:50] <Kilos> hehe
[09:51] <kbmonkey> oh okay lol :D
[09:51] <Kilos> scared to do some of that stuff
[09:52] <kbmonkey> you are steps ahead of me!
[09:52] <kbmonkey> your df does not show any /media or dlink cdroms.
[09:52] <Kilos> yeah
[09:52] <kbmonkey> I type and my words only send to irc like 1 minuteafter, lol
[09:53] <Kilos> i dunno why because the modem shows in lsusb
[09:53] <Kilos> wow bad lag
[09:53] <kbmonkey> lsusb only shows you what the computer ispluggedinto
[09:53] <Kilos> ok
[09:54] <Kilos> so if it shows there one should be able to find it
[09:54] <kbmonkey> check if the vendor and productcodesof your lsusb match those onthatforum
[09:54] <Kilos> ok
[09:54] <kbmonkey> sorry for the missing spaces, they seem
[09:55] <kbmonkey> they talk of different versions of that modem, and each have different product id's
[09:55] <Kilos> np
[09:55] <kbmonkey> maybe you just need to try another id?
[09:55] <Kilos> i dont see ids there
[09:56] <Kilos> oh ya
[09:57] <Kilos> can one do an upgrade with that link in there
[09:57] <Kilos> # Upgrades at ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/dwm_3G/DWM-156/
[10:00] <Kilos> here is my id from lsusb
[10:00] <Kilos> ID 2001:7d01
[10:00] <kbmonkey> let me check
[10:01] <Kilos> they show ID 2001:7d00
[10:02] <kbmonkey> I see
[10:03] <Kilos> i can try the stuuf from lom near the bottom
[10:03] <Kilos> modprobes and so on
[10:03] <kbmonkey> okay using those, we can modify our modprobe  command
[10:04] <kbmonkey> sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x2001 product=0x7d01
[10:05] <Kilos> done
[10:05] <kbmonkey> sorry it is painful on this phone3g. I am going to mop the floors then I will get on the wifi and check up on you

[10:06] <kbmonkey> modem makers that only support windows. grrr
[10:07] <Kilos> yeah
[10:07] <Kilos> that echo command doesnt finish what its doing
[10:07] <kbmonkey> I spent lots of timeon modeswitch forums before
[10:08] <kbmonkey> do you ever post on linuxquestions or ubuntu forums, it can help
[10:08] <Kilos> whew

[15:35] <not_found> yes, running putty and I also have xming if needed

[15:36] <kbmonkey> got cygwin at work, I use that for ssh. I use it for work too, lol.
[15:38] <kbmonkey> I have a shell account I ssh into, runs my irc session :D
[15:38] <theblazehen> actually have a look at x2go
[15:38] <kbmonkey> x2go?
[15:39] <kbmonkey> looks
[15:39] <not_found> ah ok... I could do that but I really don't need IRC 24/7 in such a manner... I am currently not even using the ssh for the IRC session, I have a chrome app called Byrd that works just fine
[15:40] <kbmonkey> mostly for unstable connections not_found - I can reconnect and carry on. 
[15:40] <not_found> ah true, SA internet and all
[15:41] <not_found> I see that Titanfall the game has been abondoned in South Africa as the server lag is too much :/

[16:03] <kbmonkey> Kilos, the second part of that code I am familiar with, it sets up a udev rule to run the script on device connect.
[16:03] <kbmonkey> it seems alright to me, I think it may be worth a shot to try it, but...
[16:05] <kbmonkey> it relies on the fact that the first part, (echo 1C9E 9605...), works
[16:05] <Kilos> cool ty i will be back hopefully from the d-link
[16:05] <kbmonkey> I suggest you try that command by itself first:
[16:05] <kbmonkey> echo 1C9E 9605 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
[16:06] <kbmonkey> (replacing your vendor and product)
[16:06] <kbmonkey> (with sudo)
[16:06] <Kilos> i gotta disconnect this old modem first though
[16:06] <kbmonkey> and if the modem is then seen by nm, you can do all those steps so it works after reboot
[16:06] <Kilos> ty will try it
[16:07] <Kilos> wbb
[16:07] <kbmonkey> cool
[16:13] <kbmonkey> did it work Kilos ?
[16:13] <Kilos> i am still by sudo su
[16:13] <Kilos> but it connected on its own again
[16:13] <Kilos> but not via nm
[16:14] <Kilos> must be that .deb off the modem i installed
[16:14] <Kilos> grrr
[16:14] <kbmonkey> does nm come with that ubuntu or did you have to install it?
[16:14] <Kilos> it comes as default
[16:14] <kbmonkey> o my
[16:15] <Kilos> now i gotta remove that thing we did dpkg on
[16:15] <kbmonkey> which modem connecct itself? the old one?
[16:15] <kbmonkey> this is confusing
[16:16] <Kilos> no the d-link
[16:16] <Kilos> old one on bed
[16:16] <kbmonkey> taking a nap lol
[16:16] <kbmonkey> so we are chatting through dlink now?
[16:16] <Kilos> ya
[16:16] <Kilos> weird
[16:17] <kbmonkey> oh... but then isn't it fixed?
[16:17] <Kilos> no nm dont see it and pidgin and evo dont get online
[16:18] <Kilos> they want nm connection
[16:18] <kbmonkey> mmm, that does not make sense. so weird!
[16:18] <Kilos> same as with sakis3g evo and pidgin dont work but irc does
[16:19] <Kilos> also the mobile partner does that
[16:20] <Kilos> (gedit:13631): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme file for DMZ-Black has no directories
[16:20] <Kilos> what does that mean
[16:21] <kbmonkey> its just a warning for gtk themes, dont worry the widgets will use the default theme
[16:21] <Kilos> ok
[16:21] <kbmonkey> the only thing I can think of is that pidgin, evo etc uses system network proxy settings
[16:22] <Kilos> i dunno because i set everything to no proxy
[16:22] <kbmonkey> maybe first look in settings for networking, and if a "proxy" or default connection is set
[16:22] <kbmonkey> oh, okay
[16:24] <kbmonkey> if you want to remove that .deb install, do...
[16:25] <Kilos> lemme finish this first
[16:25] <kbmonkey> sudo dpkg -r that-same-setup.deb
[16:25] <Kilos> ty
[16:29] <Kilos> gonna unplug it now and replug
[16:48] <Kilos> oh my
[16:48] <Kilos> couldnt boot with modem plugged in
[16:49] <kbmonkey> yup pc thinks its a bootable device. mine does that. sillly huh
[16:49] <Kilos> yeah but nm still dont see it
[16:49] <Kilos> grrrr
[16:50] <Kilos> maybe gotta remove the file first
[16:50] <Kilos> kbmonkey i gave you that dpkg command i used
[16:51] <Kilos> i cant find it here in scroll back
[16:51] <Kilos> i need to sort scroll back
[16:52] <Kilos> i can only go to [Sunday 09 March 2014] [17:30:56] 
[16:52] <Kilos> grrr
[16:52] <Kilos> it used to be 1500 lines
[16:52] <kbmonkey> the install one? sudo dpkg -i <deb file>
[16:52] <kbmonkey> do you want the filename?
[16:53] <Kilos> no man i gave you the whole path
[16:53] <kbmonkey> let me grep the logs
[16:53] <Kilos> ty
[16:54] <kbmonkey> 10:47 < Kilos> sudo dpkg -i /home/3g_modem_connect_DTLWB_D310A_amd64.deb
[16:54] <kbmonkey> that one?
[16:54] <Kilos> ty my monkey
[16:54] <kbmonkey> np Kilos !
[16:54] <Kilos> ya must be
[16:56] <Kilos> oh my
[16:56] <Kilos> dpkg: error: package name in specifier '/home/3g_modem_connect_DTLWB_D310A_amd64.deb' is illegal: must start with an alphanumeric character
[16:57] <kbmonkey> its missing your username from home

[17:14] <kbmonkey> exciting but a pita
[17:17] <not_found> I hate moving
[17:17] <not_found> but glad you are carrying on :)

[17:39] <Kilos> now i cant even open a terminal
[17:39] <Kilos> grrr

[17:43] <Kilos> ill reinstall if fsck dont fix it
[18:13] <Kilos> time for clean install. if i plug in modem now ubuntu just hangs
[18:13] <Kilos> grrr
[18:18] <Kilos> wb not_found 
[18:18] <not_found> thank you uncle Kilos 
[18:22] <Kilos> hmm... Gustav H just lurking again
[18:23] <not_found> it is the nature of the IRC to lie in wait until needed (or being in need :p)
[18:23] <Kilos> lol
[18:23] <kbmonkey> what happened Kilos ?
[18:23] <Kilos> it just hangs my ubuntu if i plug it in now
[18:23] <inetpro> UH
[18:24] <Kilos> that dpkg command didnt work, just hung terminals
[18:24]  * inetpro stretches itself
[18:24] <inetpro> good mornings!
[18:24] <Kilos> hi inetpro 
[18:24] <Kilos> daai modem baie sleg
[18:25] <Golynx> wb not_found
[18:25] <Golynx> hi inetpro
[18:25] <inetpro> ai!
[18:25] <kbmonkey> bad modem. bad bad bad. go sit in the corner.
[18:25] <not_found> o/ Golynx and init 6 pro :p
[18:25] <Kilos> lol
[18:25] <inetpro> Kilos: don't say I didn't warn you
[18:26] <Kilos> the bugs will be fixed in 14.04
[18:26]  * inetpro hates memory stick type modems, never had a good experience
[18:26] <not_found> +1
[18:27] <inetpro> they are inflexible to start with 
[18:27] <Kilos> i find working with them interesting, but time consuming and frustrating
[18:27] <Kilos> its only since they started with that cdthing
[18:27] <not_found> interesting and frustrating... interesting mix
[18:27] <inetpro> can't exactly move your laptop/computer with the stick to the best point of reception
[18:27] <Kilos> i will visit the gsm guys soon i think
[18:28] <Kilos> so what do you use in the lappy them inetpro ?
[18:28] <Kilos> then
[18:28] <inetpro> a better solution is an Android phone with hotspot enabled
[18:29] <Kilos> eish thats big bucks
[18:29] <inetpro> but the best is a decent router type modem
[18:29] <Kilos> modem was over 2 months data already\
[18:29] <Kilos> oh i havent tried it in the router yet
[18:29] <Kilos> ty for that
[18:29] <inetpro> yea, try that
[18:30] <Kilos> also i had one modem before if i remember right that also didnt work till i put it in a bridge
[18:30] <Kilos> but first gotta get rid of my corrupt 12.04
[18:30] <Kilos> grrr
[18:31] <Kilos> i hate adding scripts
[18:31] <Kilos> they kill things
[18:31] <not_found> since introducing the family and friends in SA on how to use their android devices as hotspots life has become much easier :p
[18:31] <kbmonkey> I am on via my tethered android hotspot. the gsm signal is so bad I keep dropping :/
[18:32] <kbmonkey> from one problem to the next, heh
[18:33] <inetpro> the next best solution is a router type modem with an external high gain antenna
[18:33] <kbmonkey> Im off to read a book before it disconnects me again
[18:33] <not_found> k bai
[18:33] <Kilos> toods kbmonkey 
[18:33] <kbmonkey> moving across the city soon, I'll be in a better recpetion area
[18:34] <kbmonkey> :D
[18:34] <Kilos> havva good one
[18:34] <inetpro> the bad thing about Android tethering is that it eats a lot of battery
[18:34] <Kilos> lets hope so hey
[18:34] <Kilos> no man modems must work
[18:34] <Kilos> they work on windows
[18:34] <inetpro> Kilos: they don't
[18:34] <kbmonkey> busy with the 5 book Hitchikers Guide trilogy ;P
[18:34] <Kilos> no good always finding workarounds
[18:35] <inetpro> trust me, we have a lot of complaints at the office
[18:35] <Kilos> we just need to be able to format that cd thing inetpro 
[18:35] <inetpro> not necessary
[18:35] <Kilos> ive tried it here on xp and 7 and no hassles
[18:35] <inetpro> if you have the correct drivers everything should just work
[18:36] <Kilos> ya but the d-link i have has a few bug reports at launchpad
[18:36] <inetpro> linux is not bothered with the cd thing
[18:36] <Kilos> and the fixes mess up your pc
[18:37] <inetpro> with the correct driver it's just disabled
[18:37] <inetpro> you don't ever need to read it
[18:37] <Kilos> well then why arent there links on how to do it
[18:38] <Kilos> by hook or by crook i will get it sorted
[18:38] <Kilos> not wasting that money
[18:39] <inetpro> what exactly is the model of your new modem?
[18:39] <Kilos> and its 2 years old already and i cant find a firmware upgrade from them
[18:39] <inetpro> wb psydroid
[18:39] <Kilos> grrr
[18:39] <Kilos> dwm-156 i think
[18:39] <inetpro> i think?
[18:39] <inetpro> lsusb
[18:40] <Kilos> its not in now man
[18:40] <Kilos> hangs pc
[18:40] <not_found> then it seems there is other issues too
[18:40] <Kilos> scroll back and you will see it
[18:40] <Kilos> hehe
[18:40] <not_found> modem shouldn't hang your system when you plug it in ?!
[18:41] <Kilos> too many scripts tried i think not_found 
[18:41] <not_found> sometimes undoing the damage is the hard part :p
[18:41] <inetpro> ai!
[18:41] <inetpro> take it back 
[18:41] <Kilos> and i installed the .deb file off the modem too
[18:42] <Kilos> take it back and what inetpro ?
[18:42] <Kilos> they know less than me
[18:42] <inetpro> tell them you want something that works
[18:43] <Kilos> it works on windows
[18:43] <Kilos> thats how they will test it
[18:43] <psydroid> ty inetpro 
[18:43] <psydroid> hi Kilos 
[18:43] <inetpro> tell them they must give you a free licensed version of windows in that case
[18:43] <psydroid> hi not_found 
[18:43] <Kilos> i will mail d-link and if no satisfaction will mail their ceo
[18:43] <Kilos> hi psydroid 
[18:44] <Kilos> hahaha inetpro 
[18:44] <Kilos> i dont wanna start that
[18:44] <Kilos> i have a xp OEM cd
[18:45] <inetpro> ahh... it will probably work on 32bit
[18:45] <inetpro> have you tried?
[18:45] <Kilos> ive even install that i386 stuff here
[18:45] <Kilos> i dont have 32 bit going anymore
[18:46] <inetpro> sorry I haven't scrolled back ... too much to read
[18:46] <Kilos> yeah
[18:46] <Kilos> you know the packages that let 64bit use 32bit files
[18:46] <Kilos> i have them
[18:46] <inetpro> do you have ia32-libs installed?
[18:47] <Kilos> ya 60m of stuff installed
[18:47] <Kilos> many libs
[18:47] <inetpro> hmm...
[18:48] <Kilos> but putting it in the router is the way i think
[18:48] <Kilos> if the router sees it
[18:48] <Kilos> most likely not supported yet
[18:49] <not_found> I hate it when I read something like http://alsa.opensrc.org/Jack_and_Loopback_device_as_Alsa-to-Jack_bridge and my eyes start to glaze over
[18:51] <Kilos> hard work reading for old peeps
[18:52] <Kilos> thats why i battle with reading instructions on sites
[18:53] <not_found> oh reading is easy, understaning it however >.<
[18:54] <Kilos> lol
[18:54] <not_found> and I asked a few questions on #jack and I got really well owned by a user there...
[18:54] <not_found> he is one of those that answers your question exactly >.<
[18:54] <Kilos> DWM-156 ya inetpro 
[18:55] <Kilos> well owned?
[18:55] <not_found> and I know if I ask more specific questions I will be getting some rtfm type answers too :/
[18:55] <inetpro> Kilos: you must find the /dev/sr? that is added after you plug in the modem
[18:55] <Kilos> it refuses to work
[18:55] <inetpro> ls -la /dev/sr*
[18:55] <Kilos> have done mount /dev/sr tab tab
[18:56] <inetpro>  /dev/sr0 will be there without the modem plugged in
[18:56] <Kilos> shows as sr0 but no cammands work with it
[18:56] <Kilos> says no such thing
[18:56] <not_found> http://slexy.org/view/s21omSofjj
[18:56] <inetpro> when you plug in the modem it will probably have /dev/sr1 or /dev/sr2
[18:57] <Kilos> ok ill plug it in here with this one and see what happens
[18:59] <inetpro> those instructions at lawrencematthew.wordpress.com seem quite clear
[19:09] <Kilos> grrr
[19:09] <Golynx> wb Kilos
[19:09] <Kilos> ty
[19:10] <Kilos> stupid modem
[19:11] <inetpro> Kilos: have you rebooted yet?
[19:11] <Golynx> I made a quick little game called Ubuza lol 
[19:11] <Kilos> yip it takes forever
[19:11] <Golynx> maybe it will help a little http://jarrydx86.byethost22.com/ubuza/
[19:11] <Kilos> the d-link disconnected me then the e220 wouldnt work so 3 reboots later im back
[19:12] <Kilos> grrrr
[19:12] <inetpro> ai!
[19:13]  * inetpro started reading parts of the scrollback
[19:13]  * Kilos needs a clean install to get rid of all the scripts and stuff installed for the thing
[19:13] <Kilos> dont worry inetpro everything seems corrupted here
[19:13] <Golynx> what do you think of the ubuntu-za game ? http://jarrydx86.byethost22.com/ubuza/
[19:13] <inetpro> I guess starting on a clean slate can't hurt
[19:13] <Kilos> like terminals hung
[19:14] <Golynx> hmm wrong time for such things
[19:14] <Kilos> have to forcequit them etc etc etc
[19:14] <inetpro> sorry Golynx
[19:14]  * inetpro just ignores Golynx
[19:14] <Kilos> hehe
[19:15] <Golynx> inetpro its fine nevermind
[19:15] <inetpro> :-)
[19:15] <Kilos> rahter late to start reinstalling now methinks
[19:15] <Kilos> rather as well
[19:16]  * inetpro also planning to sleep early
[19:16] <Kilos> ya you need to after hectic weekend

[19:34] <Golynx> i'm done 
[19:54] <not_found> bbl
