| ThatGraemeGuy | I think my media pc is about to die completely | 08:45 |
| Kilos | oi | 08:45 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | too many eskom-powered restarts | 08:45 |
| Kilos | yip ive always said it ruins drives | 08:45 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | my fault, I should've known to power it off | 08:46 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | and I haven't got 3TB handy to copy everything off to | 08:46 |
| Kilos | whew | 08:46 |
| gremble | Good morning | 10:12 |
| somaunn | Hi Guys | 10:22 |
| Squirm | morning all | 10:23 |
| Kilos | hi nlsthzn | 11:43 |
| nlsthzn | alo :) | 11:44 |
| theblazehen | hi | 12:10 |
| Kilos | hi theblazehen SmilyBorg | 12:40 |
| theblazehen | Hi Kilos | 12:48 |
| digigram | hey all | 13:22 |
| digigram | anyone around on this lovely Sunday afternoon to help me fix my graphics (intel HD i3) on 14.10 that I screwed up all by my self? (preferably without a format lol) | 13:23 |
| theblazehen | digigram: apt-get reinstall? | 13:27 |
| digigram | theblazehen, reinstall what? | 13:27 |
| Kilos | hi digigram | 13:29 |
| digigram | what happened is I had issues with WebGL, so went on a stupid spree and tried to install incompatible drivers | 13:29 |
| digigram | wow Kilos still around! | 13:29 |
| Kilos | lol always | 13:29 |
| Kilos | was outside in the sun a bit | 13:29 |
| digigram | problem is, can't remember what I installed, maybe let me look at history | grep install quick | 13:29 |
| theblazehen | digigram: should do everything | 13:31 |
| theblazehen | Hmm.. | 13:31 |
| theblazehen | Switch to arch? A lot easier :p | 13:31 |
| digigram | lol I should actually try it one day | 13:32 |
| theblazehen | Arch its just pacman -S xf86-video-intel | 13:33 |
| Kilos | hi Merl1n | 13:33 |
| Kilos | welcome to ubuntu-za | 13:33 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 13:34 |
| digigram | I think where my issue came in, was I got the 14.04 intel driver and if I remember correctly, forced it to install | 13:34 |
| Kilos | then just remove it man | 13:34 |
| digigram | I want to, but not sure how | 13:35 |
| Kilos | find the package name first | 13:35 |
| Kilos | then use aptitude remove or aptitude purge package | 13:36 |
| digigram | finding the package name is the part I have difficulty in | 13:36 |
| Kilos | why did you use the 14.04 package | 13:36 |
| Kilos | have you got synaptic installed | 13:36 |
| digigram | no I use apt | 13:37 |
| Kilos | the you can see what stuff is installed | 13:37 |
| digigram | okay, and how would I know if I'm uninstalling the correct one (that needs to stay) or the wrong one (that needs to go) | 13:39 |
| Kilos | you type in at the top of synaptic ati and it will show all installed packages | 13:39 |
| Kilos | oh intel | 13:40 |
| digigram | just installing synaptic. Its the first time I run a Debian derivitive without using synaptic lol | 13:40 |
| Kilos | it also has an option to fix broken | 13:40 |
| Kilos | i like synaptic | 13:41 |
| Kilos | also you should have typed in additional in the dash and it will show the correct packages and install them from there too | 13:42 |
| digigram | additional drivers had nothing, thats why I tried to be "smart" and then make a mess lol | 13:44 |
| Kilos | ah | 13:45 |
| Kilos | synaptic will give the option to completely remove or just remove | 13:46 |
| Kilos | i wonder if there is an intel package like nvidia-current | 13:46 |
| digigram | doesn't seem like it | 13:47 |
| Kilos | maybe intel-gpu-tools can help | 13:49 |
| Kilos | otherwise just stick with the standard install | 13:50 |
| digigram | can't figure out how gpu-tools can help | 13:52 |
| digigram | and intel-linux-graphics-installer will only work up to 11.04 until they release the new driver | 13:52 |
| Kilos | ai! | 13:52 |
| digigram | guess I'll sit with slow graphics until then lol | 13:54 |
| Kilos | what pc is it? maybe google will find something or a bug report might enlighten us | 13:54 |
| digigram | Acer i3 laptop. But no, it worked perfectly (sans webGL though) until I messed about | 13:55 |
| Kilos | what is it doing now | 13:56 |
| Kilos | just slow or something broken | 13:56 |
| Kilos | i go fetch sheep | 13:57 |

| theblazehen | hi gremble | 17:30 |

| theblazehen | ah | 17:32 |
| gremble | You? | 17:32 |
| theblazehen | not doing much, so no progress | 17:33 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 17:41 |
| theblazehen | Kilos: hmm? | 17:42 |
| Kilos | todays power offs killed my elementaryos drive | 17:42 |
| Kilos | read error whan trying to boot | 17:42 |
| Kilos | luckily running boot-repair from kde fixed it again | 17:43 |
| Kilos | grrrr | 17:43 |
| Kilos | power off ones when drives dont get to dock or whatever they call it is not good | 17:44 |
| Kilos | off/on | 17:45 |
| Kilos | hey theblazehen when you going to add your testimonial | 17:49 |
| Kilos | they need to see we getting in new bloods i think | 17:49 |
| theblazehen | Kilos: now is a good a time as any I guess, got a link? | 17:49 |
| Kilos | Maaz re-verification | 17:49 |
| Maaz | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/ReVerificationApplication2014 | 17:49 |
| theblazehen | ty | 17:51 |
| Kilos | ty gremble | 17:52 |
| Kilos | now i got a week to rev magespawn and some of the old hands here too | 17:53 |
| Kilos | nlsthzn we getting there | 17:53 |
| theblazehen | How do I add it? Do I need a account? | 17:54 |
| Kilos | um do you see edit at the top left | 17:55 |
| Kilos | if not look in more actions for edit, if nothing get a launchpad account then youll be able to | 17:56 |
| theblazehen | ya, will need account | 17:58 |
| Kilos | i think gremble also had to get one yesterday | 17:58 |
| Kilos | i battled for weeks to found out how to edit | 17:58 |
| theblazehen | ah | 17:59 |
| Kilos | once your browser remembers you at launchpad then it logs you in automatically when you can edit easy | 17:59 |
| theblazehen | ya | 17:59 |
| nlsthzn | would be awesome if all the peeps that hangout here and use the mailing list made launchpad accounts and joined the ubuntu-za launchpad group - only official number we have on how many people the loco has in a sense | 18:05 |
| Kilos | ask the list peeps to do that nlsthzn | 18:06 |
| Kilos | ill nag here | 18:06 |
| nlsthzn | :) I am now taking a quick shower and sleep for training tomorrow, should be home earlier than normal, will look to write a request then :) | 18:07 |
| nlsthzn | night all | 18:07 |
| Kilos | cool ty nlsthzn | 18:08 |
| Kilos | sleep tight lad | 18:09 |
| Kilos | ha digigram you still here, were you successful | 18:13 |
| digigram | Will see when I can restart later Kilos | 18:14 |
| Kilos | good luck | 18:14 |
| digigram | thanx | 18:14 |
| digigram | if nothing else, I'll just wait for the drivers. Supposed to be released somewhere in Dec | 18:14 |
| Kilos | you on unity hey? | 18:15 |
| Kilos | this december? | 18:15 |
| digigram | I heard from a little birdy this December lol | 18:15 |
| digigram | pretty sure this is unity | 18:15 |
| Kilos | maybe reinstall lightdm just for luck | 18:15 |
| Kilos | you got the launcher panel on the left? | 18:16 |
| Kilos | and purple background | 18:16 |
| digigram | yip. Decided to try it, used Mint with both Cinnamon and Mate for a long time now | 18:17 |
| Kilos | and dont forget to come support us in 9 days time when we apply for revalidation as an official loco | 18:18 |
| Kilos | unity isnt bad , just a bit heavy | 18:18 |
| Kilos | bit lighter that kubuntu thpugh | 18:19 |
| Kilos | but kubuntu is more stable imo | 18:19 |
| Kilos | or stronger | 18:19 |
| digigram | KDE overall is better for me, but to heavy for my laptop. Next install I might go back to Cinnamon (or just install that here) | 18:21 |
| Kilos | oh ya you can do that and choose on booting | 18:22 |
| digigram | might do that, but I'm trying to get used to Unity, no sense in dumping good stuff just because it's "different" | 18:26 |
| theblazehen | digigram: You're implying unity is good? | 18:28 |
| digigram | theblazehen, I'm saying I haven't been able to find the good yet, but maybe it's just because I like it to work in another way... | 18:29 |
| theblazehen | digigram: I dunno of anyone who has found the good in unity.. | 18:29 |
| digigram | lol theblazehen I'm sure the dev's like it | 18:29 |
| digigram | even if it is just them | 18:29 |
| theblazehen | "face not even a mother could love" I think that applies here? | 18:31 |
| gremble | Lolunity | 18:33 |
| digigram | Kilos, something worked it seems. The lagging is gone and even OpenSCAD loads my models again | 19:04 |
| digigram | thanx | 19:04 |
| Kilos | unity is nice man | 19:44 |
| Kilos | when it works well its great | 19:45 |
| Kilos | im glad for you digigram | 19:45 |
| Kilos | now dont forget us hey | 19:45 |
| Kilos | especially the meet | 19:46 |
| Kilos | hi gremble | 19:46 |
| Kilos | oh digigram one day look at elementaryos | 19:46 |
| Kilos | based on 12.04 and very fast | 19:46 |
| Kilos | looks like a mac they say | 19:46 |
| Kilos | whats news gremble | 19:47 |
| digigram | lol Kilos I'll try not to forget you guys :D. Will definitely add my testimony, but with my work schedule, meets are out of the question lol | 19:47 |
| Kilos | at 10pm at night the meet digigram | 19:47 |
| Kilos | we meet here after 9 then go to the official okes | 19:48 |
| digigram | I've tried elementary. It's nice, but I wanted to come back to basics | 19:48 |
| Kilos | lol | 19:48 |
| digigram | when is that? | 19:48 |
| Kilos | im learning elementary now | 19:48 |
| Kilos | but still have a drive with unity on and one with kde | 19:48 |
| Kilos | on the 16th | 19:48 |
| Kilos | oh and ive got xubuntu somewhere too | 19:49 |
| Kilos | im not keen on x so much | 19:49 |
| Kilos | oh digigram when that driver comes out use aptitude to install it. | 19:50 |
| Kilos | aptitude tells you if something aint good and gives options | 19:51 |
| Kilos | also removes stuff that isnt needed | 19:51 |
| Kilos | ohi superfly inet | 19:52 |
| digigram | you can only install the driver with intel's tool. Now that stops you if it's wrong, but if I remember correctly, I did something "smart" to bypass that lol | 19:52 |
| Kilos | ai! | 19:52 |
| Kilos | Maaz seen inetpro | 19:52 |
| Maaz | Kilos: inetpro was last seen 23 hours, 12 minutes and 41 seconds ago in #ubuntu-za on freenode [2014-12-06 12:39:46 PST], and has been offline on freenode since 2014-12-07 06:19:41 PST | 19:52 |
