| not_found | o/ | 08:38 |
| not_found | how are you today uncle Kilos... still watching bots? | 08:39 |
| Kilos | the version dlink i have was designed for win8 so the modeswitch info is changed | 08:39 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:39 |
| Kilos | i think with the freenode peeps watching them we are safe | 08:40 |
| Kilos | i just had to ban a couple on my channels | 08:40 |
| not_found | strange happenings | 08:43 |
| Kilos | anyway now i wanna try downgrade the dlinks firmware to version 6 then maybe nm will see it | 08:45 |
| Kilos | just means slumming for a while again | 08:48 |
| charl | good morning | 09:29 |
| charl | Maaz: coffee on | 09:29 |
| * Maaz washes some mugs | 09:29 | |
| charl | hi not_found | 09:29 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for charl! | 09:33 |
| magespawn | hi Kilos | 09:54 |
| Kilos | all good? | 09:54 |
| magespawn | yup and you? | 09:55 |
| Kilos | yes ty | 09:55 |
| Kilos | apart from dlink of course | 09:55 |
| Kilos | its working with sakis3g but thats not good enoung | 09:55 |
| magespawn | not sure if it is releated but y xchat also would not connect straight away. maybe freenode problems? | 09:56 |
| Kilos | oh mine are both working now | 09:56 |
| Kilos | actually looked like id been blocked | 09:56 |
| Kilos | showed connected to server the disconnected over and over | 09:57 |
| magespawn | strange | 09:57 |
| Kilos | not_found info please | 09:57 |
| Kilos | you say you delete .conf before reinstalling | 09:58 |
| Kilos | i dont want to format /home there is too much on it | 09:58 |
| magespawn | Kilos: are you trying to get your dlink connected/ | 10:00 |
| magespawn | ? | 10:00 |
| not_found | ? | 10:01 |
| Kilos | i have it connected with sakis magespawn | 10:01 |
| Kilos | but i need it to work in nm | 10:01 |
| Kilos | otherwise evo and mxit dont work | 10:01 |
| magespawn | and nm does not see/manage it correctly? | 10:02 |
| Kilos | the v7 is made for win8 and we dont have modeswitch available for it yet | 10:02 |
| Kilos | nm doesnt even see its there | 10:02 |
| Kilos | ive google a months data away and tried all the fixes | 10:03 |
| Kilos | i even downloaded the v6 firmware but it wont let it in | 10:03 |
| Kilos | i would like to format that cdfs thing and then put older firmware on but dunno how | 10:04 |
| magespawn | the older firmware might not work | 10:06 |
| magespawn | there might be a way to make evo mixit see the connection though | 10:07 |
| Kilos | if i can do that then its fine | 10:08 |
| psydroid | hello magespawn | 10:08 |
| psydroid | hi Kilos | 10:08 |
| Kilos | but ive never had them working with sakis3g connected | 10:08 |
| Kilos | hi psydroid | 10:08 |
| magespawn | hi psydroid | 10:09 |
| Kilos | i registered with that draisbergerhof modeswitch place but no activation email since last night | 10:09 |
| Kilos | then i can work with the modeswitch peeps to sort it and they will then have the info to upgrade modeswitch so these modems work | 10:11 |
| Kilos | im sure im not the only buntu user who bought one | 10:11 |
| Kilos | im just the only one who knows how to get here and cry | 10:11 |
| inetpro | Kilos: ai! | 10:18 |
| inetpro | good mornings | 10:19 |
| Kilos | ya inetpro groot ai! | 10:19 |
| inetpro | Kilos: lsusb | 10:19 |
| inetpro | what do you get? | 10:19 |
| Kilos | i have done it 50 times | 10:19 |
| inetpro | what do you get? | 10:19 |
| Kilos | my latest finding is that it was designed for win 8 and modeswitch hasnt got there yet | 10:20 |
| Kilos | 2000:7d01 | 10:20 |
| inetpro | no | 10:20 |
| inetpro | hmm... ok | 10:20 |
| Kilos | http://lawrencematthew.wordpress.com/2013/06/21/connecting-ubuntu-12-04-2-to-internet-using-d-link-dwm-156-3g3-75g-usb-modem/ | 10:21 |
| Kilos | ive tried everything there | 10:21 |
| Kilos | at the bottom there is a guy who has it working but not here with his methods | 10:21 |
| inetpro | that one is different | 10:22 |
| Kilos | now i have all the dlink stuff all over and want to get rid of it | 10:22 |
| Kilos | in /etc and /usr/bin and so on | 10:22 |
| Kilos | its all over the place | 10:23 |
| inetpro | see http://blogger.ziesemer.com/2008/10/alltel-um175al-usb-evdo-ubuntu.html | 10:23 |
| Kilos | o | 10:23 |
| Kilos | so | 10:23 |
| Kilos | was wanting to reinstall 12.04 without all that info everywhere but not delete my /home | 10:23 |
| Kilos | not format that is | 10:24 |
| inetpro | you need a USB sniffer to see what windows does with it | 10:24 |
| inetpro | so I take back my "no" | 10:24 |
| Kilos | it works great in windows | 10:24 |
| Kilos | installs and connects no prob | 10:24 |
| inetpro | the usbmodeswitch forum guys might be able to help you | 10:25 |
| inetpro | but with a usb sniffer you can figure it out yourself | 10:25 |
| magespawn | usb sniffer? | 10:25 |
| Kilos | im still waiting for their activation email | 10:25 |
| inetpro | you just need the MessageEndpoint and the MessageContent values | 10:26 |
| Kilos | remember the endpoint error | 10:26 |
| Kilos | but running dpkg -i sorted that i think | 10:26 |
| Kilos | now i can even find the package to dpkg -r it | 10:27 |
| Kilos | cant | 10:27 |
| inetpro | where is the .deb ? | 10:28 |
| magespawn | inetpro would the linux usb sniffer pick up the info if the deviceis expecting windows? | 10:28 |
| inetpro | magespawn: no | 10:28 |
| Kilos | i have it on desktop and /home and /home/miles | 10:29 |
| inetpro | so just go to the folder on the cli | 10:30 |
| inetpro | and issue the command from there with the .deb file as the last parameter | 10:30 |
| inetpro | eg: dpkg -r something.deb | 10:30 |
| Kilos | it keeps telling me not found or you must use the package you installed from | 10:30 |
| Kilos | and i dunno whaere that is anymore | 10:30 |
| Kilos | where | 10:30 |
| inetpro | or type the full path | 10:31 |
| inetpro | eg: dpkg -r /full/path/to/something.deb | 10:31 |
| inetpro | oh and with sudo in front | 10:31 |
| Kilos | much easier to reinstall 12.04 if i can just remove the old config | 10:31 |
| Kilos | ya with sudi | 10:31 |
| inetpro | air | 10:31 |
| inetpro | ai! | 10:31 |
| Kilos | enen with sudo -i | 10:31 |
| Kilos | even | 10:31 |
| * inetpro needs to go | 10:32 | |
| * inetpro be back laters | 10:32 | |
| Kilos | i dont know where the one is i installed from ive tried all i can find | 10:32 |
| Kilos | go safe | 10:32 |
| Kilos | modeswitch activation mail was in spambox | 10:42 |
| Kilos | gmail really starting to suck | 10:43 |
| inetpro | Kilos: gmail learns from you | 11:50 |
| Kilos | no man it must learn from clever peeps | 11:51 |
| Kilos | i have the modem connected with nm | 11:51 |
| Kilos | sighs | 11:51 |
| inetpro | and how did you do that? | 11:51 |
| Kilos | was trying to get it to connect with sakis3g and it kept sayin modemmanager and pppd were busy with it | 11:52 |
| Kilos | so i chose only switch modem | 11:52 |
| Kilos | next thing nm was online | 11:52 |
| inetpro | hmm | 11:52 |
| * Kilos pulling hair out | 11:53 | |
| inetpro | relying on luck won't get you very far | 11:53 |
| Kilos | ya but i amd registered with the modeswitch forem but battling to find out how to post there | 11:54 |
| Kilos | this is maddening | 11:55 |
| inetpro | you should keep poking those Telkom guys and let them do the right thing | 11:55 |
| Kilos | i have tried wvdial and gnome-ppp as well | 11:55 |
| Kilos | ya thats an idea ill get back to them in email again now that i can use evo | 11:56 |
| inetpro | Telkom should get someone to communicate with the modeswitch forum guys | 11:56 |
| inetpro | don't even mention evo or that other thing | 11:57 |
| inetpro | that should be completely unrelated | 11:57 |
| Kilos | eish they wont go through all the trouble of getting registered there | 11:57 |
| inetpro | a connection is a connection is a connection | 11:57 |
| Kilos | <inetpro> don't even mention evo or that other thing??? | 11:58 |
| inetpro | 14/03 20:37:53 <Kilos> i could use it as is with sakis but them mxit and evo cant connect | 11:58 |
| Kilos | aha | 11:59 |
| inetpro | that just aint making any sense | 11:59 |
| Kilos | what? | 11:59 |
| inetpro | if internet works then evo or mxit should work | 12:00 |
| Kilos | dont you member even with 10.04 and sakis3g evo and mxit didnt connect | 12:01 |
| inetpro | no and I'm not interested | 12:01 |
| Kilos | grrrr | 12:01 |
| inetpro | both should just die | 12:02 |
| Kilos | but pidgin xmpp works | 12:02 |
| inetpro | like bbm | 12:02 |
| inetpro | and ftp | 12:02 |
| Kilos | you gotta be interested in what im battling with man | 12:02 |
| inetpro | ai! | 12:02 |
| Kilos | or ill send the rain man there in full force | 12:03 |
| inetpro | lol | 12:03 |
| Kilos | you see me on jabber? | 12:04 |
| inetpro | what is that? | 12:04 |
| Kilos | modeswitch forem uses jabber and icq and some other stuffs | 12:04 |
| Kilos | look on your fone man | 12:04 |
| Kilos | ai! ek sukkel darem | 12:05 |
| inetpro | you mean on gtalk? | 12:05 |
| Kilos | ya but from jabber not gmail | 12:05 |
| inetpro | hmm... since when? | 12:05 |
| Kilos | i got jabber before anything else then forgot about it with the gtalk stuffs | 12:06 |
| Kilos | had to dig in old notes | 12:06 |
| * inetpro thought federation between gtalk and jabber was broken | 12:08 | |
| inetpro | anyway, I can see you yes | 12:10 |
| Kilos | i think a year back or so they improved jabber | 12:13 |
| Kilos | the dlink stops my pc from mounting usb sticks too | 12:27 |
| Kilos | sigh | 12:27 |
| Kilos | wb not_found | 12:32 |
| not_found | ty | 12:32 |
| not_found | *yawn* | 12:32 |
| charl | did gtalk disable xmpp federation yet? | 12:43 |
| charl | they were going to merge that into g+ hangouts i thought, i haven't been following it | 12:43 |
| Kilos | ? | 12:43 |
| Kilos | http://slexy.org/view/s2PWDTI6GI | 12:44 |
| charl | hi Kilos | 12:44 |
| Kilos | does any of that mean something | 12:44 |
| not_found | not yet | 12:44 |
| Kilos | hi charl | 12:44 |
| charl | not_found: ah | 12:44 |
| not_found | you are still able to set it up on 3rd party apps like pidgin etc. | 12:44 |
| charl | i used to use google apps on my own domain but fortunately i stopped with that years ago and now run my own services | 12:44 |
| charl | postfix + mutt for mail, prosody + bitlbee for xmpp | 12:45 |
| charl | i configured my dns and xmpp federation worked perfectly under google apps though | 12:45 |
| Trixar_za | <3 prosody | 12:54 |
| charl | Trixar_za: yes i am extremely impressed with it, especially the security features and easy configurability | 12:57 |
| Trixar_za | And it's easy enough to modify using Lua | 12:58 |
| charl | i don't really know lua myself | 12:59 |
| charl | have you made any modifications? | 13:00 |
| Trixar_za | It's surprisingly easy to pick up. All I really did was mess around with some of the protocol to see if I can do something similar to what Mxit did | 13:01 |
| charl | what did mxit do? | 13:01 |
| Trixar_za | Simplified the XML it used to sent messages, so it used less data. Over the long run this save quite a lot of data. | 13:01 |
| charl | interesting | 13:02 |
| Trixar_za | saved* | 13:02 |
| charl | if you want to do something compact i wouldn't have bothered with xml in the first place | 13:02 |
| charl | i would rather just use json | 13:02 |
| charl | http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0295.html | 13:03 |
| Trixar_za | True and I believe XMPP has a way to sent compressed data anyway | 13:03 |
| charl | i haven't looked at this in detail but this looks interesting: https://xmpp-ftw.jit.su/ | 13:03 |
| charl | if you use encryption, that could have a side effect of compression regardless | 13:04 |
| charl | but i would not bother too much with it, it seems like these days most people have some type of data bundle in any case | 13:04 |
| Kilos | sjoe only just managed to post on modeswitch forums | 15:04 |
| Kilos | what a job to set it all up | 15:04 |
| Kilos | couldnt submit the post because i didnt have a recipient | 15:05 |
| charl | Kilos: sounds like a bad forum ... :( | 15:07 |
| Kilos | no its me thats stupid i think | 15:07 |
| Kilos | you peeps that know these kinda things will glide through it | 15:08 |
| charl | i hate signing up for anything | 15:08 |
| charl | usually when i am required to sign up i just don't bother posting anything | 15:08 |
| charl | but if you really want something.... | 15:08 |
| Kilos | this modeswitch thing is important so i dont mind | 15:08 |
| Kilos | hope they mail me | 15:08 |
| charl | have you seen kali linux? http://www.kali.org/ | 15:09 |
| charl | looks really good | 15:09 |
| Kilos | no man im a buntu pep | 15:13 |
| Kilos | peep | 15:13 |
| Kilos | no data to mess around | 15:13 |
| Kilos | i dont like black screens | 15:13 |
| charl | afaik it's based off ubuntu | 15:14 |
| charl | or debian perhaops | 15:14 |
| charl | *perhaps | 15:15 |
| charl | looks really promising, i should try it some time | 15:15 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 15:54 |
| Kilos | hi superfly | 16:54 |
| Kilos | Maaz seen superfly | 16:55 |
| Maaz | Kilos: superfly was last seen 1 day, 10 hours, 9 minutes and 23 seconds ago in #ubuntu-za on freenode [2014-03-13 23:46:04 PDT], and has been online on freenode since 2014-03-08 01:02:40 PST | 16:55 |
| Kilos | hahaha | 16:55 |
| Kilos | if you dont say anything he thinks you are away | 16:56 |
| Kilos | Maaz you gotta count lurking | 16:56 |
| Maaz | Kilos: Excuse me? | 16:56 |
| Kilos | inetpro looks like that 2001:7d01 shows its already switched | 17:01 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 17:11 |
| Kilos | hi nlsthzn sharks/bulls next saterday | 17:22 |
| nlsthzn | oh dear... guess the sharks loose there first game then ;p | 17:22 |
| Kilos | rofl | 17:23 |
| Kilos | wishful thinking | 17:23 |
| nlsthzn | I know :p | 17:24 |
| Kilos | they hot this year | 17:24 |
| Kilos | :-D | 17:24 |
| nlsthzn | yup | 17:25 |
| charl | whow i am listening to security now again - another brilliant episode | 18:16 |
| charl | apple actually really got their security together to a T | 18:16 |
| Trixar_za | Atleast they take it way more seriously than Microsoft | 18:19 |
| Trixar_za | :P | 18:19 |
| charl | i am actually quite impressed, i didn't expect it from apple either | 18:20 |
| charl | i think pretty much everybody got it better together than microshaft | 18:20 |
| Trixar_za | Yesterday I had an interesting reaction. Also to do somewhat with security, but not really. | 18:33 |
| Trixar_za | I actually got mad that I couldn't use my system like I wanted on a Linux distro | 18:33 |
| Trixar_za | :P | 18:33 |
| charl | ??? | 18:34 |
| Trixar_za | The udisk security feature where I have to enter my root password to access an ntfs drive | 18:34 |
| Trixar_za | And it was in read only mode | 18:35 |
| charl | sorry but i'm not sure i'm following ... | 18:35 |
| Trixar_za | It doesn't allow you to mount an ntfs drive/partition without requiring the root password | 18:49 |
| Trixar_za | From the file manager that is | 18:49 |
| Trixar_za | and after you have it mounted, you can only access the files. You can't modify or delete them. | 18:50 |
| charl | oh ok now i get what you're getting at | 18:50 |
| Kilos | night all. sleep tight | 19:37 |
