[07:59] i frorgot what i told maaz to remember what the link was for the re-evaluation thing sir [07:59] forgot too [07:59] and a good morning to you [07:59] is it important? [08:00] na i bookmarket it in browser as well ty [08:00] marked [08:01] if you get lost just go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam [08:01] ah ty inetpro [08:01] Maaz, team is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam [08:01] Kilos: If you say so [08:02] ai! [08:02] you'll have to remember to remember what to remember [08:03] haha that seems to be the prob thats why i try keep it as basic as possible [08:21] ha i remembered [08:21] Maaz, reapp [08:21] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/ReApprovalApplication2014 [08:25] a terrible word that [08:25] supposed to mean re_app [08:25] re-app [08:25] Maaz, forget reapp [08:25] Kilos: Righto [08:26] i tired now [08:28] oh inetpro i found a wifi hotspot close by [08:28] further towards brits and about 3 ks i think [08:29] i dunno how to measure crow fly distance [08:29] so no hills between [08:56] o/ [08:56] Kilos, that is the way the page will look for everyone [08:57] ok ty nlsthzn [08:57] hi gremble [09:14] Kilos, to measure crow fly distance google earth or mapsource/basecamp can all do it I think [09:26] hmm.... [09:27] what do isps use for their coverage maps [09:28] like on this link [09:28] http://www.telkommobile.co.za/wifi/#q%3Dmagaliesmoot%2C%20South%20Africa [09:29] type in magaliesmoot in the search block [09:30] oh i think you must choose prepaid first then wifi i forget now [10:16] good morning [10:16] Maaz: coffee on [10:16] * Maaz washes some mugs [10:19] dirty mugs again [10:20] Coffee's ready for charl! [10:25] hi charl [11:13] due to inactivity the ZA subforum in ubuntuforums.org has been closed :/ [11:20] ya [11:21] we help peeps here not in a forum [11:29] Why does a subforum have to be closed [11:29] It is not like it takes a lot of resources, especially when it is inactive [11:33] I guess not but all loco's that had inactive subforums where archived, they can be re-opened if needed off course [11:34] Maaz: thanks [11:34] charl: Sure [11:34] hi Kilos [12:46] good afternoon [12:47] hullo magespawn [12:48] how is it, inetpro? [12:51] very very hot here in Pretoria [12:55] nice autumn weather here - only 33 [12:59] 30°C here inside with 40% humidity, too much for me [13:00] not sure about the accuracy of the humidity though [13:01] magic mobile phone telling me that [13:03] hey inetpro [13:03] hi charl [13:03] how's it going [13:04] oh sorry you already answered that :p [13:04] hi magespawn [13:14] hi magespawn [13:17] we might get a storm later to cool it off for the old and feeble [13:18] With all this heat it will probably be hail [13:18] hail cools it quick [13:18] Ya, does not mean I like it :P [13:18] We have a flat roof [13:18] Last time there was bad hail, it broke [13:19] eish [13:19] last hail we had stripped all the fruit trees [13:20] It is very good for the trees though. [13:20] Hail puts a lot of nitrogen back into the ground [13:20] oh yes hail is good for all plants but only after theyve recovered from the damage [13:50] hi Kilos, hi charl [13:51] i am nice and cool for once, down here [13:51] haha is it building up to rain magespawn ? [13:52] gotta go install a satellite dish [13:52] no just over cast and cool [13:52] that place can cook with the best of them [13:52] we are having a nice start to summer so far, had a couple of hot days but not sustained yet [13:53] gotta go now, dish install, chat later [13:53] go install your dish so you dont have to work late unless they giving supper too [13:53] enjoy [13:53] later [14:41] bushtech, i used google maps and a vernier and looks like the hotspot is only 1 k from here [14:41] https://maps.google.com/maps?output=classic&dg=brw [14:42] but also realised i gave my wifi card and yagi to ian [14:42] sigh [14:42] hehe [14:48] does anyone happen to have any experience getting vlc working on raspbian ? [14:50] whats raspbian [14:51] debian on a raspberry pi [14:51] version of debian that runs on raspberry pi [14:52] yes [14:52] oi you okes and your toys [14:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/8775430/ [14:52] that's what i did so far but not working [14:53] hasnt it got a package manager [14:53] to sort dependancies [14:53] regular apt but the apt package does not work [14:53] not compiled properly [14:53] anreinstall apt [14:54] can you install aptitude on it [14:54] is aptitude debian or ubuntu only [14:54] Aptitude is debian [14:55] That is why ubuntu can use it [14:55] Ubuntu is based on debian [14:55] it's not apt's fault it's the package [14:55] that's why i need to compile [14:55] cool then use aptitude charl it will give more feedback [14:55] Is it a schlep to compile packages on the raspberry? [14:55] nono you don't understand Kilos [14:56] the package installs [14:56] but it is not compiled to work with the gpu that's on the board [14:56] it's broadcom so it's problematic [14:56] ai! [14:56] Isn't the r-pi supposed to be fully open hardware? [14:56] gremble: it's slow. very slow. the rpi is slow to start off with. [14:56] nono broadcom is not known for being open [14:57] openbsd refuses to run on it because of those issue [14:57] omxplayer runs perfectly with hardware acceleration [14:57] but omxplayer does not support subtitles well [14:57] and that happens to be important for me [14:58] compiling vlc took a couple of hours [14:58] charl: http://hertaville.com/2014/04/12/cross-compiling-qt4-app/ perhaps you can cross-compile from the PC [14:59] the issue is not qt [14:59] i run the command line version of vlc [14:59] the problems are related to audio and codecs [14:59] That is now spesific to QT4 apps, but I am sure you can use the same cross-comp toolchain [14:59] I didn't link for QT. [14:59] I linked for the toolchain [14:59] ah so, lemme take a look [15:00] interesting [15:00] that will speed things up a lot [15:01] but i still need the right compile options [15:01] that's what i'm having trouble with right now [15:01] Ah ok [15:02] thanks for the help though but i think i need somebody with experience having done this before [15:02] thought i might hit it lucky :) [15:02] haha [15:02] i think i need to ask on some rpi channels [15:02] it's a pity because omxplayer works great (for the most part) [15:02] maybe i should try patching it [15:03] and forget about vlc entirely [15:04] or i should simply cave in and use xbmc :) [15:05] but i really like the ability to control the video via ssh [15:05] dont give up till you have proved its impossible [15:06] proven [15:06] and battling with it will keep you out of other trouble [15:09] gremble: i found this earlier which is related https://github.com/rcarmo/raspbian-vlc-cross-compile [15:09] it lets you compile vlc inside a VM using vagrant [15:09] also a very nice concept i think [15:09] lol Kilos [15:09] i have lots to do here :P not just compile stuff the whole day [15:10] Ya. you need a compiler that can compile it into the correct bytecode/instruction set [15:11] precisely yeah but clearly that's not a problem [15:12] it is heck of a lot faster than compiling on the rpi [15:12] i am very impressed with the minimalism though [15:12] -/+ buffers/cache: 25M 348M [15:12] only uses 25M with nothing open other than standard ssh [15:12] that's impressive [16:31] hmm... [16:31] Maaz: hmm... [16:31] hmm... is often used to try make others believe one is actually thinking [16:32] hmmmmmmmm [16:33] uh!? [16:35] what does uh!? mean inetpro ? [16:37] you winning charl ? [16:37] or you gave up [16:38] you okes all need to get bell.ogg alert/notifications working so you dont take a week to answer [16:38] ohi superfly [16:38] s3 fixed? [16:38] hi Kilos, no. [16:39] oh my what happened you always fix things [16:51] Kilos: i'm asking on #raspbian now [16:51] i'll see if i get some luck [17:04] nope no luck [17:04] channel is dead [17:04] that said, it's saturday evening [17:11] other irc channels you can wait half a day for help [17:32] sjoe [17:32] biblical justice with a twist [17:32] http://in.reuters.com/article/2014/10/31/congodemocratic-rebels-idINKBN0IK1SL20141031 [17:51] true, true [17:52] yum that sounds delicious [17:52] good thing i had an early dinner [17:52] eeeek [17:52] lol [17:52] can safe on the food bills that way [17:52] how far is kenya from there [17:53] in the west they say "i killed a man" and in afrika they say "i fed my family" [17:53] maybe andrew gets eaten if his servers crash [17:53] uganda and some other countries are in between [17:54] Symmetria: they gonna turn you into roast [17:55] i don't think the kenyans would do that though [17:55] kenyans are very nice people [17:55] the somalis might [17:55] hehe [17:55] no i think the somalies will just threat you with a bomb [17:55] and then eat the pieces [17:55] yeah the kenyans don't like them [17:56] thats kind of rough in this day and age [17:57] it's sad [17:57] days are getting shorter ... i feel the winter coming [17:57] today was nice though, clear skies and 20 degrees [17:57] 20 is winter [17:58] nono [17:58] -20 is winter [17:58] fortunately not in NL [17:58] here -2 is winter [17:58] no man thats the temp you keep meat at for years before you cook and eat it [17:58] very cold that here, in lapland everyone would run outside [17:59] in lapland they don't even see the sun those people [18:00] half the year they live in darkness [18:00] eish [18:00] not my climate i would get crazy [18:00] *become [18:01] that's no climate for a normal person that's for eskimos [18:01] yeah [18:02] but not much flu around there i think [18:03] it's too cold for flu [18:03] nothing survives [18:04] i wonder if they got aids there [18:26] night all. sleep tight [19:24] wb theblazehen
