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