| Maaz | There is a packet of Ouma's in the cupboard charl help yourself | 08:32 |
| charl | good, good | 08:32 |

| Maaz | Coffee's ready for charl and Kilos! | 08:35 |
| Kilos | Maaz ty | 08:35 |
| Maaz | You are welcome Kilos | 08:35 |
| charl | Maaz: danke | 08:37 |
| Maaz | Bitteschön | 08:37 |
| charl | Kilos: did you hear about the web version of whatsapp ? | 08:37 |
| charl | i can recall you asking to do pidgin whatsapp before | 08:37 |
| Kilos | nope charl | 08:37 |
| Kilos | oh yes | 08:38 |
| charl | it only works in google chrome though | 08:38 |
| charl | even chromium seems not to be supported | 08:38 |
| charl | and you still need a mobile phone, also one that can scan a QR code | 08:38 |
| Kilos | i have the plugin for pidgin working but cant get whatsapp to send me my password to the fone first | 08:38 |
| Kilos | there is a way you ask for the code and they sms it to your fone but i cant get that to work | 08:39 |
| charl | ah | 08:40 |
| Kilos | all i need is that code then it will work in pidgin | 08:40 |
| charl | well if you have chrome and you can scan QR codes you could try it | 08:40 |
| Kilos | i have no idea how to scan but let me install chrome then we can look at it | 08:40 |
| charl | https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/web/28080003 | 08:40 |
| Kilos | ty | 08:41 |
| charl | first read the faq to see if it will work for you before installing chrome though | 08:41 |
| charl | np | 08:41 |
| Kilos | whew | 08:43 |
| Kilos | haha i have probs getting the pc to even see the fone | 08:45 |
| Kilos | will wait for sis to come home and get her bb data cable | 08:45 |
| Kilos | im not impressed with the vodacom service with blackberry. sis has been offline for a month in this area, but it works everywhere else, even namibia | 08:47 |
| Kilos | im sure the prob is the tower/s in this area that arent activated with bb. but they keep telling her to take it to the shop for setting up. | 08:48 |
| Kilos | thats after like 10 times going through all the settings with them online | 08:48 |
| Kilos | swines | 08:48 |
| Kilos | 10 ks from here in any direction it works | 08:50 |
| charl | yeah it's similar here | 08:52 |
| charl | when i was in hospital three years ago i could only get gprs and barely | 08:53 |
| charl | and then a few KM further away it works perfectly | 08:53 |
| charl | just the hospital was in a blind spot | 08:53 |
| Kilos | if it wasnt for all the family having whatsapp id forget the idea | 08:53 |
| charl | i was offline for almost a week | 08:53 |
| Kilos | ya but we arent in a blind spot at all, her tablet goes online fine, its the bb>vodacom prob | 08:54 |
| charl | ah | 08:54 |
| Kilos | the bb shows gsm connection only | 08:54 |
| charl | whatsapp is a problem because it doesn't federate with any other xmpp service | 08:55 |
| charl | that's why i don't use it | 08:55 |
| Kilos | should show edge or 3g or something when it is connected | 08:55 |
| charl | it isn't suitable for use on the public internet because it doesn't comply to open standards and protocols | 08:55 |
| charl | proprietary applications are ok if they are only used inside a certain company though (imho) | 08:55 |
| Kilos | yeah , prob is about everyone has whatsapp. got look at places that sell second hand stuff and see they all give whatsapp as contact point | 08:56 |
| Kilos | grrr | 08:56 |
| Kilos | not places, peeps | 09:01 |
| Kilos | ai! | 09:35 |

| Kilos | hi AlphaG | 14:21 |
| gremble | HAHA | 14:21 |

| gremble | :P | 14:21 |
| Kilos | thats an old message | 14:21 |
| Kilos | how come you take 5 months to fix things AlphaG ? | 14:21 |
| Kilos | you worse than me | 14:22 |
| AlphaG | huh?? | 14:22 |
| gremble | Because he obviously didn't hang around | 14:22 |
| Kilos | lol | 14:22 |
| Kilos | i cant even remember what the problem was | 14:22 |
| AlphaG | what was that | 14:22 |
| Kilos | read the message above from Maaz | 14:22 |
| Kilos | you were trying to do something or fix something | 14:23 |
| AlphaG | eish I can't remember.. I think I was at the lab installing 14.01 | 14:23 |

| AlphaG | I haven't connectd my ubuntu laptop in 5 months to the wifi .. | 14:34 |
| AlphaG | just want to know what could be causing this. . bc few days ago it was working. | 14:35 |
| AlphaG | usually connect just to update the install as I did last time.. | 14:36 |
| Kilos | sjoe tower got a whack from that bright light but seems to have survived | 14:38 |
| Kilos | Maaz hello | 14:39 |
| Maaz | Hello Kilos | 14:39 |
| AlphaG | maaz is slow | 14:40 |

| Maaz | Howzit Kilos | 14:41 |
| Kilos | AlphaG why didnt he answer you? | 14:42 |
| Kilos | ok what irc client are you using | 14:42 |
| Kilos | when you type a nick type the first 2 or 3 letters and hit tab it sorts the nick with caps and all | 14:43 |
| inetpro | Kilos: I see sunshine, is it over or is it coming again? | 15:32 |
| Kilos | over now inetpro got 10 mm | 15:32 |
| inetpro | apparently we had hail at home | 15:32 |
| Kilos | ai! | 15:34 |
| AlphaG | kilos paste my question here plz | 15:34 |
| Kilos | ok | 15:34 |
| Kilos | I.partitioned. 500gb xternal.. into 3 parts ubuntu ext4 , pagefile and ntfs for windows access and data storage. | 15:35 |
| Kilos | oh wait | 15:35 |
| Kilos | 12.04 should upgrade directly to 14.04 | 15:35 |
| Kilos | i think lets goes directly to lts | 15:36 |
| Kilos | inetpro ? | 15:36 |
| Kilos | lts to lts just upgrade? | 15:36 |
| AlphaG | will that disturb partitions and data? | 15:36 |
| Kilos | nope | 15:36 |
| Kilos | open update manager | 15:36 |
| Kilos | it should show what it will upgrade to | 15:37 |
| Kilos | near the top | 15:37 |
| AlphaG | does it not just update packages? | 15:38 |
| Kilos | nope it updates everything to the later release | 15:38 |
| Kilos | open update manager and look | 15:38 |
| Kilos | nothing happens till you tell it to | 15:38 |
| AlphaG | I can't now.. no wifi.. | 15:38 |
| Kilos | ohy arent you here with it now? | 15:39 |
| AlphaG | no dude. I'm on via mobile. | 15:39 |
| Kilos | wait a while let me boot old pc with 12.04 on | 15:39 |
| AlphaG | webchat.freenode.net | 15:40 |
| Kilos | ok | 15:40 |
| Kilos | why did you stay away for 5 months? | 15:40 |
| AlphaG | don't I will check when I'm at the lab | 15:41 |
| Kilos | i nearly forgot about you | 15:41 |
| Kilos | its np | 15:41 |
| AlphaG | yeah my laptops keyboard got busted... rain dropd | 15:41 |
| Kilos | ouch | 15:41 |
| AlphaG | and its a schlep carrying a bluetooth keyboard to lab with external box etc | 15:42 |
| Kilos | lol | 15:42 |
| Kilos | eish old pc booted to 14.04 too | 15:42 |
| AlphaG | and the lab was closed for holidays | 15:42 |
| Kilos | alright | 15:43 |
| Kilos | when you at the lap come here and well go through it | 15:43 |
| AlphaG | so ya.. and I'm probably the only one here who doesn't have adsl... | 15:43 |
| Kilos | no there are a few of us that use 3g | 15:43 |
| Kilos | all peeps in outline areas like plots and farms got no adsl | 15:44 |
| AlphaG | and asking u guys questions over a phone is pointless if I can't do anything on the ubuntu.. | 15:44 |
| Kilos | get a pen and write down | 15:44 |
| Kilos | but anyway you can come here with fone from the lap too if you have to | 15:44 |
| AlphaG | my nearest adsl is at the ilab its at the mosq its free coz I assit there.. its for the community. | 15:45 |
| Kilos | oh wait i have 12.04 on a flash drive | 15:45 |
| Kilos | ok | 15:46 |
| AlphaG | I downloaded 14. iso I have it on the external here. | 15:46 |
| Kilos | good use it to make a bootable live flash | 15:47 |
| Kilos | use unetbootin | 15:47 |
| AlphaG | I don't wana mess with it n it ends up formatn the external... wich is why I asked if I can update it online safely | 15:48 |
| Kilos | you wont mess up anything, unetbootin is an app that makes lives flash drives | 15:48 |
| AlphaG | hmm | 15:49 |
| Kilos | but if you go no data cap then upgrading is fine | 15:49 |
| AlphaG | so take 14.04 create live flash | 15:49 |
| Kilos | yes | 15:49 |
| AlphaG | boot from the flash... | 15:50 |
| AlphaG | install ubuntu... | 15:50 |
| Kilos | you point unetbootin to where the iso is and it will see your empty flash and make the flash a live install like a dvd | 15:51 |
| AlphaG | yeah I got that part. | 15:51 |
| Kilos | just hang here a while till the guys get home then well check about lts to lts upgrade | 15:52 |
| AlphaG | ok ill come again.. | 15:54 |
| AlphaG | ubuntu is free.. | 15:55 |
| Kilos | yah | 15:55 |
| AlphaG | why not create a free network for ubuntu | 15:55 |
| AlphaG | ubuntu internet | 15:55 |
| AlphaG | no data fees | 15:55 |
| Kilos | and connect with what 3g supplier | 15:56 |
| AlphaG | that will change my world | 15:56 |
| Kilos | yeah it would | 15:56 |
| AlphaG | a free access to ubuntu servers | 15:56 |
| AlphaG | and irc | 15:56 |
| AlphaG | for knowledge | 15:57 |
| Kilos | i think the logistics of that is out of everyones reach | 15:58 |
| AlphaG | not that I'm complaining about this .. but chatting over a blackberry on irc and then traveling and paying for data just to use free o.s is ..... | 15:58 |
| Kilos | like who will pay telkom for using their cables | 15:58 |
| AlphaG | its not impossible if ubuntu is free all | 15:58 |
| Kilos | or voda or mtn for the 3g peeps | 15:58 |
| AlphaG | nevermind them | 15:59 |
| Kilos | the network providersa will all want payment | 15:59 |
| Kilos | nothing is free | 15:59 |
| Kilos | everything costs somewhere along the line | 16:00 |
| Kilos | even if checkers gave away groceries you would still pay for the petrol to get there and back | 16:01 |
| AlphaG | yes... | 16:01 |
| AlphaG | don't get me wrong... | 16:02 |
| Kilos | but if you can connect to one of the wugs then they help | 16:02 |
| AlphaG | I'm saying create ubuntunet | 16:02 |
| Kilos | that would be nice but who will pay for all the cabling etc | 16:04 |
| Kilos | you would have to use telkom existing cabling and they will charge | 16:05 |
| AlphaG | wifi. is free. | 16:09 |
| Kilos | lol the whole country hasnt got wifi | 16:09 |
| AlphaG | that's the idea | 16:10 |
| AlphaG | read my friends blog... | 16:10 |
| AlphaG | http://www.webaddict.co.za/2014/11/25/lantern-free-data-forever-space/ | 16:10 |
| Kilos | if the whole country has wifi then the idea would be good ya | 16:10 |
| Kilos | yeah the idea is good | 16:14 |
| Kilos | but somewhwere someone has to pay | 16:15 |
| Kilos | signals dont go to satelites and back for free | 16:16 |
| AlphaG | there's always a way | 16:17 |
| Kilos | illegally only | 16:18 |
| AlphaG | the sun's rays travels to earth for free. | 16:18 |
| Kilos | life is all about money | 16:18 |
| Kilos | lol | 16:18 |
| AlphaG | withouth the sun... | 16:18 |
| AlphaG | gtg will pop in again | 16:19 |
| Kilos | ok | 16:19 |
| Kilos | read this | 16:19 |
| Kilos | http://askubuntu.com/questions/126833/lts-to-lts-upgrade | 16:20 |
| AlphaG | thanx | 16:20 |
| Kilos | yw | 16:20 |

| Kilos | ThatGraemeGuy you want to sort it? | 18:27 |
| Kilos | i think it has something to do with adding your password in the clients info | 18:28 |
| magespawn | i think he must have logged out when it was not cloaked | 18:28 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | uh | 18:28 |
| Kilos | yes thats what i mean | 18:28 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | i'm not really sure what you're on about | 18:28 |
| magespawn | hi ThatGraemeGuy | 18:28 |
| Kilos | your first login shows you ip addy | 18:28 |
| magespawn | your first login was not cloaked | 18:28 |
| Kilos | then you cloak | 18:28 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | meh, makes no difference to me | 18:28 |
| Kilos | oh ok | 18:29 |
| superfly | Kilos: client info? | 18:29 |
| Kilos | where you enter channels to join and password | 18:30 |
| superfly | yes? | 18:30 |
| Kilos | there are 2 places to enter password | 18:30 |
| Kilos | if you put your password in both it cloaks you before the channels open | 18:31 |
| Kilos | i think thats it | 18:31 |
| Kilos | let me see | 18:31 |
| magespawn | might also depend on how you are connecting to the channel | 18:31 |
| superfly | I think it's to do with connecting to Freenode, not just the channel | 18:32 |
| Kilos | hehe | 18:32 |
| Kilos | one time only | 18:32 |
| superfly | ooo | 18:33 |
| superfly | thanks for that Kilos, I didn't know that! | 18:33 |
| Kilos | yw | 18:34 |
| magespawn | learn something new every day | 18:34 |
| Kilos | some of the guys login twice | 18:34 |
| Kilos | i cant see it on konversation because each channel you add you have to enter your password | 18:35 |
| Kilos | on xchat and hexchat you get 2 places to enter passwords | 18:35 |
| Kilos | like whats the good of cloaking if it first shows your ip then changes hosts | 18:36 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 19:08 |
| inetpro | good evening | 19:09 |
| Kilos | hi inetpro | 19:09 |
| * inetpro trying to catch up | 19:10 | |
| Kilos | wow our only up to date mirror is neology | 19:17 |
| Kilos | haha inetpro ons het van jou geskinner | 19:20 |
| Kilos | dit was basies om jou uit te lok | 19:20 |
| magespawn | i wonder why? network problems? | 19:20 |
| Kilos | looks like ubuntu zim is dead | 19:20 |
| inetpro | eish... ran out of bundle and we're not even close to the end of the month yet | 19:21 |
| Kilos | i dont know magespawn , maybe bad settings or maintenance | 19:21 |
| Kilos | andrews one is up to date | 19:21 |
| magespawn | almost there inetpro | 19:21 |
| Kilos | oh my inetpro what you been doing | 19:21 |
| * inetpro now back on prepaid and trying to catch up again... you guys talk too much | 19:22 | |
| Kilos | lol | 19:22 |
| magespawn | sorry | 19:22 |
| Kilos | at least we are active | 19:22 |
| Kilos | ive mailed ubuntu namibia, will report if/when they reply | 19:25 |
| Kilos | maybe they want a german mail. i wonder who we can ask to compose it | 19:26 |
| inetpro | ok... | 19:28 |
| inetpro | Kilos: apart from chatting with family and having dinner I also installed the official version of Google Chrome and have now tried Whatsapp in the browser | 19:29 |
| inetpro | and it works, actually | 19:29 |
| Kilos | oh my i installed chrome just now too | 19:29 |
| Kilos | but i dont know how to tether this experia | 19:30 |
| inetpro | not sure how the data transverses between my phone and the browser but it works | 19:30 |
| Kilos | did you tether the fone? | 19:31 |
| inetpro | hate to say this but I'm happy that this is working | 19:31 |
| Kilos | lol i will be as well when i get it working then i can shelve the xperia | 19:32 |
| inetpro | finally we can start interacting with the masses directly on the PC... even if the solution sucks | 19:32 |
| magespawn | inetpro is the phone a hotspot? | 19:33 |
| inetpro | they should just make it work with any other browser as well | 19:33 |
| Kilos | oh you tehter the fone to scan for the code? | 19:33 |
| inetpro | magespawn: no | 19:33 |
| Kilos | tether | 19:33 |
| magespawn | okay i am just confused now | 19:33 |
| inetpro | at this stage they are just both on the same wifi network | 19:33 |
| Kilos | magespawn https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/web/28080003 | 19:33 |
| inetpro | let me try putting the mobile on Vodacom data | 19:34 |
| magespawn | and the phone is the gatewat? | 19:34 |
| magespawn | gateway? | 19:34 |
| Kilos | no magespawn | 19:34 |
| Kilos | read that link | 19:34 |
| inetpro | ok, I actually switched the data alltogether on the phone | 19:35 |
| Kilos | i think once you got it working you can put the fone off | 19:35 |
| inetpro | within seconds I get an orange notification that reads, "Phone not connected, blah blah, blah..." | 19:36 |
| Kilos | oh my | 19:36 |
| magespawn | maybe works something like airdroid | 19:36 |
| inetpro | so I connect the phone and a test message I typed to my wife while it was offline goes through | 19:36 |
| Kilos | if it wants the fone connected as well isnt it going to use data on both? | 19:37 |
| inetpro | so essentially I guess, the browser talks to Whatsapp in the cloud but notices a disconnect on the phone | 19:37 |
| Kilos | ah | 19:38 |
| inetpro | because it has to stay in sync | 19:38 |
| inetpro | anything I chat on the PC also appears on the phone | 19:38 |
| Kilos | i think the pidgin way will be better | 19:38 |
| magespawn | so the pc part only works if the phone is online | 19:39 |
| Kilos | then fone must has whatsapp disconnected | 19:39 |
| magespawn | double data maybe if they are both going out through the same internet connection | 19:39 |
| inetpro | magespawn: well the PC part works in the sense that I can still read the messages on the screen | 19:39 |
| inetpro | but messages will not deliver unless the phone is connected as well | 19:40 |
| magespawn | do you still recieve the message on the pc if the phones is disconnected? | 19:40 |
| inetpro | have not tested the scenarion but I doubt | 19:41 |
| inetpro | the double data will not bother me that much to be honest... text messages are small | 19:41 |
| Kilos | inetpro dont you see my messages? | 19:42 |
| inetpro | the convenience of being able to stay focused on the desktop is long overdue | 19:42 |
| inetpro | Kilos: I do, but I ignore them :-) | 19:43 |
| Kilos | ai! | 19:43 |
| inetpro | sorry Kilos | 19:43 |
| inetpro | Kilos: to be honest, I thought I answered them | 19:43 |
| magespawn | i have a few users that all use whatsapp all going through the same connection, i can actually measure it when somebody posts a photo to one of the groups | 19:44 |
| Kilos | i asked does it scan the code for whatsapp | 19:44 |
| Kilos | i just need my code then ill get whatsapp in pidgin with the fone off | 19:44 |
| inetpro | oh, missed that | 19:44 |
| inetpro | you need an updated version of whatsapp on the phone | 19:45 |
| Kilos | its only been there about 5 months | 19:45 |
| inetpro | on the updated version of Whatsapp on your phone, go to Menu > WhatsApp Web | 19:48 |
| inetpro | and then, scan the QR Code on your computer | 19:48 |
| inetpro | Getting Started with WhatsApp Web http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/web/28080003 | 19:49 |
| Kilos | ty | 19:49 |
| Kilos | this is hard work changing glasses all the time | 19:50 |
| gremble | Im using chromium and whatsapp web wants me to download chrome | 19:51 |
| gremble | haha | 19:51 |
| Kilos | hehe | 19:52 |
| Kilos | chrome is 40 something megs | 19:52 |
| Kilos | i had to put a new bundle | 19:52 |
| Kilos | sigh | 19:52 |
| gremble | Im nog going to download chrome | 19:52 |
| gremble | it is the same browser | 19:52 |
| Kilos | try make it see the whatsapp code | 19:53 |
| captine | whatsapp in the browser... interesting | 19:55 |
| superfly | Just use Telegram | 19:55 |
| inetpro | Telegram is still much better! | 19:55 |
| gremble | but that is only for short messages stop | 19:55 |
| superfly | Hahaha, nice one gremble | 19:56 |
| gremble | I'm thinking about quitting mathematics and going into stand-up | 19:56 |
| Kilos | rofl | 19:57 |
| inetpro | with Telegram I can do a screenshot on my PC, press the copy button on KSnapshot and just paste on Telegram | 19:57 |
| * inetpro just had to test it after seeing Alistair Otter doing it on Linux | 19:58 | |
| inetpro | and I think it will help Kilos a lot, if it works | 19:58 |
| Kilos | ya man ty. the android thing is hard work | 19:59 |
| inetpro | you can't change the masses over to Telegram overnight, they just follow whatever advertisers tell them to do | 19:59 |
| gremble | I'll advertise on facebook | 20:01 |
| gremble | :o | 20:01 |
| gremble | Im influential like that | 20:01 |
| inetpro | :-) | 20:01 |
| superfly | Bwahahaha | 20:01 |
| gremble | you know, I have like 10 friends | 20:01 |
| Kilos | twit | 20:01 |
| gremble | that is nothing to balk at | 20:01 |
| gremble | Are you calling me a twit, Kilos ? | 20:02 |
| Kilos | me? | 20:02 |
| * Kilos looks around | 20:02 | |
| superfly | Always | 20:02 |
| gremble | No, not you, the other one | 20:02 |
| inetpro | ai! | 20:03 |
| gremble | I like that telegram uses googles material science UX | 20:04 |
| Kilos | imtoo stupid for this | 20:05 |
| Kilos | whatsapp shows nothing that opens a menu | 20:05 |
| gremble | Press the button with the stripes at the bottom | 20:05 |
| gremble | It may or may not look like an actual button | 20:06 |
| gremble | What kind of phone do you have? | 20:06 |
| Kilos | xperia mini pro | 20:06 |
| Kilos | it shows only chat and one thing on the right that opens contacts to choose one | 20:07 |
| Kilos | grrr | 20:07 |
| Kilos | also shows nothing at the bottom | 20:08 |
| gremble | Ok, you have three buttons at the bottom. the one on the right has three little stripes. That is your menu button for all of your apps | 20:08 |
| gremble | the left one is an arrow and the middle one a little house | 20:08 |
| Kilos | right one is arrow | 20:08 |
| Kilos | middle one one block | 20:09 |
| inetpro | and left? | 20:09 |
| Kilos | left one 4 little blocks | 20:09 |
| gremble | I have the phone in front of me right now. if you hold it up, the keyboard slides out to the left | 20:09 |
| gremble | Oh | 20:09 |
| gremble | I see that model here | 20:09 |
| Kilos | lol i always have it open thats why i said i see nothing at the bottom | 20:09 |
| gremble | The little blocks are the menu button | 20:10 |
| gremble | the square is the home button | 20:10 |
| gremble | (the buttons below them that they denote) | 20:10 |
| Kilos | the 4 little blocks opens a menu | 20:10 |
| inetpro | ai! | 20:10 |
| gremble | Yes | 20:10 |
| gremble | I have no idea what you are trying to do though | 20:10 |
