[04:39] <Kilos> hi captine  
[04:54] <Kilos> morning all
[05:11] <Kilos> ai!
[05:41] <Kilos> morning superfly  
[05:42] <superfly> bye Kilos, church and load-shedding
[05:42] <Kilos> have a good day superfly  
[09:21] <stickyboy> God this is sexy: http://gohugo.io/
[09:21] <stickyboy> I love static site generators...
[10:14] <Kilos> i was shed
[10:17] <stickyboy> Power problems in ZA are serious, eh?
[10:17] <stickyboy> My power turned off last night and I ran across the room in the dark to shut off my server.
[10:17] <Kilos> yeah stickyboy  
[10:17] <stickyboy> LOL
[10:18] <stickyboy> UPS was beeping, I know I only get 15 seconds or so. Just enough for the blips, or to dash across the room!
[10:18] <Kilos> lol
[10:26] <stickyboy> Kilos: I'm looking at static site generators.
[11:22] <Kilos> good , im outsdie working on a car
[11:23] <Kilos> that nikola works good
[12:46] <Kilos> hi magellanic  
[12:46] <magellanic> greets
[12:46] <Kilos> hi Kerbero  
[12:51] <magellanic> congrats on debconf in cape town..
[12:57] <captine> noon all
[12:57] <magellanic> hi
[12:59] <captine> quick one to the tech people.  am wanting to learn central server management and am looking at puppet?  anyone have easier alternatives etc?
[12:59] <captine> thinking puppet + nagios
[13:00] <captine> ansible looks good to
[13:15] <magellanic> only heard good things about ansible captine 
[13:16] <stickyboy> magellanic: We use Ansible here...
[13:17] <stickyboy> I like that it doesn't need a daemon. Just piggybacks on SSH + key-based authed. w00t.
[13:17] <magellanic> for monitoring I don't like nagios, some of its forks have progressed better, I'd look around, icinga was a promising one
[13:17] <stickyboy> No extra ports in firewall, etc.
[13:18] <magellanic> I have no experience with ansible, but there is a continuous integration guy in the office who swears by it :D
[13:18] <stickyboy> I use ansible to manage my the server hosting my blogs: http://github.com/alanorth/ansible_blog
[13:19] <stickyboy> And I've written about using ansible on my cluster at work: https://mjanja.ch/2014/09/update-hosts-via-ansible-to-mitigate-bash-shellshock-vulnerability/
[13:19] <stickyboy> But many more.
[13:27] <Trixar_za> We've moved on from the shellshock so quickly that it's not even funny :P
[14:02] <zipper> waddup
[14:07] <Kilos> hi zipper  
[14:07] <zipper> Kilos: It's all good.
[14:08] <Kilos> hi Trixar_za  
[14:08] <Trixar_za> Hey Kilos
[14:09] <Kilos> you guys been busy hey zipper  
[14:09] <zipper> Kilos: Who has been busy?
[14:09] <Kilos> you man
[14:09] <Kilos> you havent been on irc for a week or more
[14:10] <zipper> Kilos: Well I have. There is a haskell project I'm working on.
[14:10] <zipper> Trying to get it right.
[14:10] <Kilos> ah
[14:11] <zipper> Giving it a clean JSON RESTful API. I hate to use such words but I don't know how else to describe it.
[14:11] <Kilos> lol
[14:12] <zipper> Problem is that these guys want it to deploy FAST! but if it's going to be fast it'll be crappy.
[14:13] <Kilos> eish
[14:13] <zipper> Kilos: How are you though?
[14:13] <Kilos> im good ty working on a site for ubuntu-africa
[14:14] <Kilos> just need to learn more about bzr and nikola
[14:14] <Kilos> then once working maybe a site for linux-africa
[14:15] <Kilos> ill get you all together somehow
[14:18] <zipper> Wow linux africa
[14:18] <zipper> May I suggest that linux africa use git instead of BZR?
[14:19] <Kilos> yeah there are so many linux guys in africa and they could all work together instead of each one battling on his own
[14:19] <Kilos> i dont know how to use git
[14:19] <zipper> Kilos: I think git is easier to use than BZR by far.
[14:20] <Trixar_za> Yeah, and git was created by Linus too :P
[14:20] <Kilos> when ive done the ubuntu site then ill come to you guys for guidance and see what the git thing works like
[14:22] <Kilos> i need stuff that easy and simple
[14:23] <Kilos> see this site is cool and fast, thats what im after
[14:23] <Kilos> https://ubuntu-za.org/
[14:24] <zipper> Because git is truly what linus made for linux collaboration and linux is not ubuntu?
[14:24] <Kilos> sites that load slowly are a pupoff from the beginning
[14:24] <Kilos> ill look at it
[14:25] <Kilos> you guys can help when i get the ubuntu site done
[14:25] <zipper> I feel that ubuntu tries to take linux away from the community by the way they deviate. Though deviating is the whole idea of FOSS
[14:25] <zipper> but by ubuntu I mean cannonical
[14:26] <Kilos> read the text on the za site
[14:26] <zipper> So I am contradicting myself. I don't like the way they deviate.
[14:26] <Kilos> linux users are welcome
[14:26] <zipper> Kilos: We are all linux users after all. :)
[14:26] <Kilos> yes
[14:26] <zipper> I just clicked the link
[14:27] <zipper> Kilos: Wow looks good. Did you make that/
[14:27] <zipper> *?
[14:27] <Kilos> no superfly  did and im copying most for the ubuntu-africa site
[14:28] <zipper> Looks good.
[14:28] <Kilos> well of course
[14:30] <zipper> Anyway let me give you a resource for git. The easiest. It's an online book. http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-About-Version-Control
[14:30] <zipper> The ebook pro-git is free
[14:30] <Kilos> cool ty
[14:30] <zipper> http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
[14:31] <zipper> Yeah
[14:31] <zipper> I hope I am not forcing anything on anyone. Just an opinion.
[14:31] <zipper> What is nikola?
[14:31] <Kilos> nope ill look into it and use what is easiest for me
[14:32] <superfly> zipper: Having used git, Mercurial and Bazaar, I prefer Bazaar. Git is hopelessly over-complicated
[14:32] <Kilos> nikola generates static sites and converts the text stuff to html i think
[14:32] <zipper> Kilos: Oh I see
[14:32] <superfly> Kilos: if you find bzr difficult to understand, don't even try git.
[14:32] <Kilos> zipper  superfly  knows what id find easier
[14:33] <zipper> superfly: Why are you spreading misinformation based on your opinion?
[14:33] <superfly> zipper: it's not mis-information
[14:33] <zipper> Some things are hard for some and easy for others
[14:33] <superfly> it's true
[14:33] <zipper> Kilos: What language is it in? Since I worked with ruby I've used jekyll.
[14:33] <Kilos> i cant even answer that
[14:33] <superfly> zipper: don't confuse git with github. most people think git is easy because all they've ever used is github.
[14:34] <superfly> zipper: Nikola is written in Python.
[14:34] <zipper> If you want to get with linux or most source project. Basically if you want info that you can apply elsewhere use git.
[14:34] <Kilos> wbb
[14:35] <zipper> superfly: You my friend should be slapped with a wet fish for spreading your opinion as the truth.
[14:36] <zipper> Also git is distributed. That is a big plus.
[14:37] <zipper> Maybe good things can sometimes seem complicated but once you get them it was worth the trouble.
[14:40] <superfly> zipper: dude. step down. I've been around  doing this open source and version control thing for years. Don't tell me I'm talking nonsense. Have you used bzr or hg? Or svn or cvs, for that matter?
[14:40] <zipper> superfly: LOL
[14:40] <zipper> superfly: I've not said it's nonsense
[14:42] <Kilos> zipper  dont fight my fly
[14:42] <superfly> zipper: please do answer my question.
[14:42] <zipper> I once tried learning bzr (when I was on ubuntu and found it complex). If you chose hg I'd be okay because it's distributed version control.
[14:42] <zipper> superfly: I'm not done answering it.
[14:43] <zipper> It's true I'm still in school and I wasn't around when people used stuff like sourceforge and other things. All I've  used is git with github and bitbucket.
[14:44] <zipper> I hear hg has a better "interface/ux"
[14:46] <zipper> I think if you wanted to start an open source project chosing version control that is used by most people would be good. All I know about bzr that I know I wouldn't want is not being a DVCS.
[14:46] <zipper> Now I'm done answering.
[14:46] <Kilos> lol
[14:47] <zipper> Whatever you guys chose I'll be okay with it.
[14:47] <superfly> bzr is DVCS
[14:49] <magellanic> sup superfly 
[14:49] <superfly> hey magellanic
[14:49] <zipper> superfly: I didn't know that. So why don't people like bzr?
[14:50] <magellanic> bzr is not open source is it?
[14:50] <zipper> magellanic: It's not?
[14:50] <superfly> zipper: the fact that you don't know that bzr is a DVCS shows me exactly how much you know about version control. I really recommend you quieten down.
[14:50] <Symmetria> hrm
[14:50] <magellanic> no idea, checking
[14:50] <Symmetria> my damn mp3 collection has gotten 2 big 
[14:50] <superfly> it is. These days it is driven by Canonical.
[14:51] <Symmetria> to the point where loading the damn mp3 player gives me issues initializing the damn library
[14:51] <magellanic> oh right
[14:51] <magellanic> Symmetria: heya
[14:51] <zipper> superfly: No you can't tell me to quiet down because I questioned your choice of using bzr.
[14:51] <Symmetria> lo magellanic 
[14:51] <Symmetria> someone recommend me an mp3 player that can handle an insanely huge library properly
[14:52] <zipper> Symmetria: Does rhythmbox not work for you?
[14:52] <Symmetria> zipper heh nope
[14:52] <Symmetria> Total peak : 15.383930 (3910/565633 tracks)
[14:52] <Symmetria> :P
[14:52] <Kilos> zipper  the fly did our site and its great imo.
[14:52] <superfly> zipper: You never questions my use choice of bzr. You just said that I'm spreading misinformation.
[14:52] <superfly> *questioned
[14:52] <zipper> superfly: Anyway after many people are hopefully contributing to the project we'll know whether bzr was a good choice.
[14:52] <Symmetria> heh, its 565 thousand tracks, with a play time of 385 weeks ;p
[14:53] <zipper> Kilos: I have no issue with his programming skills.
[14:53] <Kilos> being a skilled programmer he knows what works best in most situations
[14:53] <superfly> zipper: MySQL uses bzr. Ubuntu uses bzr, there are a number of other big projects that use bzr. I use bzr because it's simpler than git while getting the same job done in a saner way.
[14:56] <magellanic> I've never used bzr, probably should try it out.
[14:57] <zipper> superfly: I still think it's your opinion and not truth.
[14:57] <Kilos> ai!
[14:57] <superfly> zipper: I've been involved in an open source project for over 10 years, you think I don't know what I'm talking about?
[14:58] <zipper> but whatever you chose I am going to be in support of.
[14:58] <Kilos> yay zipper  thats the way to go
[14:58] <Kilos> the fly knows
[14:58] <magellanic> Symmetria: I used to use some xmms clone, can't recall now
[14:58] <zipper> superfly: I am not saying that you don't know whaty you're saying I'm just saying the git learning curve might be worth the trouble.
[14:58] <Symmetria> magellanic,  lol I tried to load em into plex and that fell apart
[14:59] <zipper> superfly: again I think it's more of an opinion
[14:59] <superfly> Symmetria: aplay :-P
[14:59] <zipper> Symmetria: try rhythmbox I guess
[14:59] <magellanic> Symmetria: try http://audacious-media-player.org/
[14:59] <magellanic> I think that's what I had
[15:00] <Symmetria> heh will try that 
[15:00] <Symmetria> thanks
[15:00] <Symmetria> Disk /dev/sda: 2.7 TiB, 3000592982016 bytes, 5860533168 sectors
[15:00] <Symmetria> Disk /dev/sdb: 27.3 TiB, 30005379727360 bytes, 58604257280 sectors
[15:01] <Symmetria> heh thats my latest in my addition to my disk space ;p
[15:01] <zipper> I have had some trouble rebasing, squashing etc commits in git and I must admit I don't totally get some parts of git that are central to collaboration.
[15:02] <superfly> yeah, no such thing in bzr.
[15:02] <superfly> rebase really does my head in. I always thought that VCS was about recording history... and then with rebase you go and rewrite your history. doesn't make sense to me.
[15:04] <superfly> zipper: then there's this: there seem to be 2 camps in git. Those that are pro-merge and those that are pro-rebase. And I've never been able to see one reason to prefer one over the other (other than the fact that rebase rewrites your history, which seems wrong). http://bemusement.org/rebase-criticism
[15:05] <zipper> hahahaha I am pro rebase just because it has a cleaner commit history.
[15:06] <superfly> "cleaner" - i.e. remove all your history.
[15:06] <zipper> merges are cool I guess because they're easier to wrap ones's head around.
[15:06] <superfly> bzr does it differently you see. it does what rebase does, without losing the history.
[15:06] <zipper> superfly: I believe you can still access the history from a rebase. I can't remember well but it's not easy.
[15:07] <zipper> I read about it in pro git
[15:07] <zipper> However, don't you think that if you wanted an open source project for linux users it should use the VCS that is most popular among linux users?
[15:08] <zipper> or at least hg. I've always wanted to try hg but I've never had the chance.
[15:08] <superfly> zipper: when I started using bzr, git wasn't nearly as popular as it is today, in fact at that stage bzr was more popular than git.
[15:08] <Kilos> zipper try them all and use what suits you best not just whats more popular
[15:10] <zipper> Kilos: but git suits me I think. Plus it's what most open source projects use. Recruiters look at your github not even bitbucket.
[15:10] <superfly> recruiters don't know what git is.
[15:11] <superfly> they just play buzzword bingo
[15:11] <zipper> superfly: Well they're the ones in charge.
[15:11] <zipper> superfly: They look at github specifically which sucks.
[15:11] <superfly> no they're not.
[15:12] <zipper> A lot people ask to look at my GITHUB
[15:12] <Symmetria> lol, games to play when you are bored, network acronyms, cause Im convinced there are more of those than in almost any other area of IT lol
[15:12] <superfly> says the highschooler to the "veteran"
[15:12] <superfly> Symmetria: can't argue with you there.
[15:12] <Symmetria> bgp, isis, eigrp, ospf, rip, mpls, bgp-lu, rsvp, ldp, the list goes on and on ;p
[15:13] <zipper> Symmetria: ISIS?
[15:13] <Symmetria> intermediate system - intermediate system
[15:13] <superfly> zipper: some food for thought: http://toykeeper.net/tutorials/bzr-vs-git/
[15:14] <Kilos> hi Tonberry  
[15:14] <Tonberry> hi
[15:15] <Symmetria> oh, I left out NAT, RSTP, STP, RFC, MTU, POP, OSI, LAN, LACP, DNS, ARP, ADSL
[15:15] <zipper> superfly: Keep your bzr and I'll do my thing.
[15:15] <Symmetria> :P and I bet I could find a ton more 
[15:15] <Symmetria> lol
[15:16] <superfly> zipper: translated: *I'm not listening*
[15:16] <zipper> superfly: No when I told you that people only ask about my github and not even my bitbucket you said some condescending things.
[15:17] <zipper> superfly: So now you  want to rewrite my past experiences.
[15:17] <zipper> superfly: Based on your many years of experience.
[15:18] <superfly> I never said anything of the sort.
[15:19] <zipper> superfly: Dude you said it here "18:09:10   superfly | says the highschooler to the "veteran""
[15:20] <magellanic> Symmetria: try http://audacious-media-player.org/ (not sure if it got here before I dc'd)
[15:22] <zipper> superfly: So yeah I'm done with this. Go with bzr. I hope all linux users in africa contributes.
[15:23] <zipper> s/contributes/contribute/
[15:26] <zipper> However, if you want to make linux africa more of ubuntu africa by forcing all of cannonical's rules on the rest of linux you shall have a hard time.
[15:26] <Kilos> zipper enough now man
[15:27] <Kilos> no one is forcing anything on anyone
[15:27] <Kilos> see the finished product when done then decide for yourself
[15:28] <superfly> zipper: I have better things to do with my time than argue with a stubborn know-it-all. Excuse me, I have supper to make for my family.
[15:30] <zipper> Kilos: I said I'll go by whatever decision you make and I plan on doing that.
[15:30] <Kilos> good man
[15:31] <zipper> Kilos: I'm not even the one doing the name calling. I don't know why I'm the one you're mad at.
[15:32] <Kilos> im not mad at you lad just ive seen peeps before argue with the fly but in the end he is the one that is right
[15:32] <magellanic> anyone got their hands on ubuntu phone or rasp-pi2?
[15:32] <Kilos> many years of using linux professional gives one the background to know what is best normally
[15:35] <Kilos> hi gremble  
[15:35] <gremble> Good afternoon fellas
[15:35] <gremble> Hey Kilos 
[15:35] <magellanic> damn, gradle fetched 100/160M of dependencies before I dc'd, now it restarted the download
[15:35] <Kilos> ai!
[15:35] <gremble> magellanic: it uses wget if I recall, so it should continue where it leaves off?
[15:35] <magellanic> it sure didn't continue here..
[15:35] <Kilos> wget -c
[15:35] <gremble> Ouch
[15:36] <gremble> That is quite unfortunate. Also hello
[15:36] <magellanic> I don't know where it saves to either
[15:36] <Kilos> wget saves in /home
[15:36] <magellanic> may have found it, in /tmp, brb
[15:39] <magellanic> sigh, tried wget -c, with -o /tmp/partialfile, now I have to restart it
[15:40] <magellanic> -o was wrong :/
[15:41] <Kilos> what happens if you copy what is in /tmp to /home then wget -c
[15:42] <Kilos> hi poppingtonic  
[15:42] <poppingtonic> Hi Kilos 
[15:42] <Kilos> welcome to ubuntu-za
[15:42] <magellanic> the partial file was 120M, I had to use -O, I used -o, which logs output to file, so it started logging to the partial and destroyed it
[15:42] <poppingtonic> thanks. I'm from #nairobilug
[15:43] <Kilos> ah
[15:43] <magellanic> welcome poppingtonic 
[15:44] <Kilos> poppingtonic  you can also join #ubuntu-africa

[15:46] <magespawn> good afternoon
[15:47] <magespawn> hey Kilos
[15:47] <Kilos> zipper  why arent you in #ubuntu-africa too
[15:47] <magespawn> did you but any of the ubuntu-afric code in bzr/launchpad?
[15:48] <magespawn> ubuntu-africa
[15:48] <Kilos> yes magespawn  but ive messed up i think, want to get the fly to connect with this pc and see it running locally
[15:49] <Kilos> it runs lekker here
[15:49] <Kilos> but i went wrong routes i think
[15:50] <magespawn> i was going to say, when i had a loo at the link you gave me for launchpad there is no code there
[15:50] <magespawn> s/loo/look
[15:50] <Kilos> i cant get it to push to launchpad
[15:51] <magespawn> ahh
[15:51] <magespawn>  i am sure superfly will be able to tell what is going wrong

[15:54] <Kilos> lol and i hate googling, always get wrong stuff
[15:56] <Kilos> and pages that lead to more and more pages
[15:56] <Kilos> then i get lost
[15:59] <magespawn> i have found some stuff, as soon as it loads and i can read it i will pass the links along

[16:04] <magespawn> this is all new, so we are bound to make mistakes here
[16:05] <Kilos> my hassle came in with getting everything from ubuntu-za i think and then editting the conf files

[16:24] <gremble> Ya. I need windows for SAS and Altera
[16:24] <gremble> so I can use my FPGA
[16:25] <gremble> Getting it to work on linux is a hassle
[16:25] <Kilos> what are them things
[16:25] <Kilos> Maaz  define SAS
[16:25] <Maaz> Kilos: SAS n 1: a specialist regiment of the British army that is trained in commando techniques of warfare and used in clandestine operations (especially against terrorist groups) [syn: {Special Air Service}, {SAS}], SAS Session Active Screen (IBM) , SAS Simulation Automation System , SAS Statistical Analysis System , SAS Single Attachment Station (FDDI)
[16:25] <Kilos> hehe
[16:26] <gremble> SAS is some business analytics bullshit programming language thing that we use for statistical analysis
[16:26] <gremble> and an FPGA is a field programmable gate array. It is a piece of hardware on which you develop microchips essentially.
[16:26] <gremble> Hardware simulation etc
[16:26] <Kilos> aha
[16:28] <Kilos> i should actually join a channel for noobs
[16:28] <superfly> gremble: VirtualBox?
[16:28] <superfly> ah, FPGA
[16:29] <gremble> superfly, I have to jump through all kinds of hoops to get it running here
[16:29] <gremble> Hardware wise
[16:29] <superfly> yeah
[16:29] <gremble> So I might as well just skip it all
[16:29] <superfly> I've done some cool stuff emulating serial ports and stuff, but FPGA is a different matter
[16:30] <gremble> I will have to sit and get it to work with linux some time
[16:30] <gremble> But not today
[16:30] <gremble> I just want to play now
[16:30] <Kilos> lol
[16:30] <Kilos> when you do keep detailed records of how to do it
[16:32] <gremble> I'm going to write those records and then sha-512 them and tell the CSIR that I am the only one that knows how to do it
[16:32] <gremble> :P
[16:32] <Kilos> lol
[16:38] <magespawn> hold them to ransom? :)
[16:38] <magellanic> anyone in Cpt interested in the google I/O extended viewing party: https://plus.google.com/events/cqlm8speeh32melhm9r9dp81ccs, you are invited
[17:25] <magespawn> just ran ping, and i got the second packet back first
[17:25] <magespawn> wierd
[17:27] <captine> thanks all that responded to my question.. sorry, my son woke so i dissapeared to sort him out, then mow the lawns etc etc etc
[17:40] <Kilos> haha magellanic  something wrong there
[17:41] <Kilos> ai!
[17:41] <Kilos> that was for magespawn
[17:41] <magellanic> hm?
[17:41] <magellanic> ah
[17:41] <Kilos> sorry
[17:42] <magellanic> np
[17:55] <Kilos> wb magellanic  
[17:55] <Kilos> ai!
[17:55] <Kilos> magespawn  
[18:17] <superfly> magellanic: are you involved with that sort of thing? GDG, etc?
[18:19] <captine> so... hostname newname and editing /etc/hosts then rebooting does not change my hostname (name at login)...  confusing me
[18:19] <Kilos> lol join the family
[18:20]  * Kilos totally confussed as well
[18:20] <inetpro> captine: see /etc/hostname
[18:20] <inetpro> good evening
[18:20] <Kilos> hi inetpro  
[18:20] <captine> thanks inetpro 
[18:21] <captine> i am trying to get a script to do the change, for when I clone a kvm machine
[18:21] <magellanic> superfly: yep, I'm one of the organizers for the local gdg
[18:21] <Kilos> inetpro  13 days to complete your wiki page
[18:21] <magellanic> heya inetpro 
[18:22] <inetpro> captine: hmm... not sure if it's that simple these day but I think that is how I used to change hostnames
[18:22] <inetpro> magellanic: hi
[18:23] <inetpro> good to see you around again
[18:23] <magespawn> captine: how old is the son now?
[18:23] <captine> the command "sudo hostname newname" is meant to change it, but once rebooting, it goes back to the original
[18:23] <captine> he is 1 year and 1 month
[18:23] <Kilos> sjoe
[18:23] <captine> few more weeks he will be 1 year and 2 months
[18:23] <Kilos> still small
[18:23] <captine> :).  yip.  his sister arrives in 1.5 weeks... 
[18:23] <Kilos> yay
[18:24] <captine> so might go off irc etc for a few weeks/months/years :)
[18:24] <Kilos> just notify us first please
[18:24] <Kilos> we need to pass out the cigars
[18:25] <magespawn> hang on captine i had to do this for my asterisk box on centos
[18:25] <magespawn> let  me think
[18:25] <magellanic> captine: the hostname command changes it on the runtime, does not persist it in config, so it has to be changed in config as well
[18:25] <inetpro> zipper: git was made popular by github but there's nothing wrong with bzr
[18:26] <magellanic>  /etc/hostname sounds about right
[18:26] <captine> magespawn, trying now.. want to do a script once i get the manual method nailed
[18:29] <magespawn> you have to edit /etc/hostname to make it permanent
[18:29] <inetpro> superfly: what is nice about git is that you even get git clients like SGit for Android these days
[18:30] <superfly> magellanic: you know Dale?
[18:30] <magespawn> captine on ubuntu i am assuming
[18:30] <captine> uip
[18:30] <captine> got it to work
[18:31] <magespawn> ineptro i think github has their own app out now too
[18:31] <inetpro> would be nice if we could get an equivalent for bzr
[18:32] <magellanic> superfly: yes. I'm hiren :)
[18:32] <superfly> magellanic: ah!
[18:32] <superfly> magellanic: my apologies, nick<->name
[18:32] <magespawn> captine i think that uses a system script to set the hostname at boot
[18:32] <magellanic> all good ;)
[18:32] <magespawn> let me get a link
[18:33] <magespawn> here you go http://www.ducea.com/2006/08/07/how-to-change-the-hostname-of-a-linux-system/
[18:33] <captine> thanks, script looks like this http://pastebin.com/9hRZm1Dg
[18:33] <zipper> inetpro: LOL you want to bring that up now?
[18:33] <zipper> After all the name calling that I was subjected to?
[18:34] <captine> tried bin.snyman.info from the irc topic, but got a server 500 error or something
[18:34] <captine> going to neaten it up a bit
[18:35] <inetpro> zipper: don't take it personally  
[18:36] <zipper> inetpro: It's all good. I won't talk about version control here though.
[18:37] <inetpro> zipper: haha, trust me he has a bit of experience
[18:38] <magellanic> inetpro: how are things your side, long time indeed
[18:38] <inetpro> magellanic: hectic is the new normal
[18:39] <magellanic> in a good way I hope..
[18:40] <inetpro> magellanic: no big stress, just never enough time to do everything that needs to be done
[18:41] <inetpro> all about setting priorities in life
[18:41] <magespawn> never enough time to learn everything that needs to learn't
[18:41] <magellanic> ah yeah, it's a constant battle hey
[18:42] <inetpro> sometimes you get them right, other times you miss the boat a bit
[18:43] <zipper> inetpro: Experience doesn't mean always right and I'm not even afraid because time will tell.
[18:43] <magellanic> indeed magespawn 
[18:43] <zipper> inetpro: Whether he was right or not will partly be judged by the uptake of whatever you're doing by the community.
[18:44] <zipper> inetpro: and with that I am almost sure linux users outside ubuntu will feel locked out.
[18:45] <inetpro> zipper: we're a ubuntu channel after all
[18:45] <magellanic> anyone else making a plan during load shedding as this dude? http://www.htxt.co.za/2015/02/10/beat-loadshedding-on-a-budget-take-your-tech-solar-for-r1-271/
[18:46] <magellanic> wondering if I can get those parts in cpt, or alternatives
[18:46] <inetpro> magellanic: that looks a bit cheap
[18:46]  * inetpro has been told to rather spend a bit more on a good battery
[18:47] <magellanic> I want something cheap though, but yeah I hear you
[18:47] <inetpro> if it's cheap it doesn't last long
[18:48] <inetpro> end up wasting your money
[18:48] <zipper> inetpro: True this is why I didn't want to go back to that argument. Because I'm not even from SA so my opinion doesn't matter. What matters is that south african ubuntu users can join and feel at home.
[18:49] <zipper> inetpro: and if bzr is the choice that ubuntu users in SA want to use. It's all good.
[18:50] <inetpro> zipper: ubuntu is a popular distro even outside of South Africa
[18:50] <zipper> inetpro: You're right.
[18:51] <magespawn> inetpro i think those batteries are the small one similar to what you get inside a UPS
[18:51] <zipper> inetpro: and the target is ubuntu users in SA am I wrong?
[18:52] <inetpro> zipper: well for this channel or any other ubuntu-xxx channel obviously we're mostly trying to help other ubuntu users 
[18:53] <inetpro> zipper: but there's nothing wrong with people using other Linux distros
[18:53] <magespawn> magellanic the battery they have there is a small one, i would rather be looking at the deep cycle batteries that they use for electric wheel chairs etc
[18:53] <inetpro> canonical is not making our rules
[18:53] <inetpro> we're a local community
[18:55] <magellanic> magespawn: how expensive do they get though, it's hard to shop components with such a wide variety and quality, and I know almost nothing about solar/batteries..
[18:55] <magellanic> digging up a bit over next few days though, before I go out and get something
[18:55] <inetpro> magellanic: you really want deep cycle batteries
[18:56] <magespawn> the deep cycle ones will start at around R800 but would run a laptop for about 12 hours i would reckon
[18:56] <magellanic> okay I'll look into them
[18:56] <inetpro> magellanic: shop around!!! Don't take the first best quote
[18:57] <magellanic> yes I'll look around a bit
[18:57] <magellanic> I like his setup in the link though, panel and battery, and it powers his laptop and 2 pi's during an outage
[18:57] <magespawn> so if you use one of the car charger adaptors so you skip the ac/dc conversion of your laptop power supply
[18:58]  * inetpro still needs to read that in more details, looks interesting indeed
[18:58] <magellanic> magespawn: cool noted, no car charger here, but I'll look into its cost too
[18:59] <magespawn> i do not know what the charge time of those batteries is though, and what size the optima panel would be
[18:59] <inetpro> for me powering up my IT equipment would also be my first priority before anything else
[18:59] <magellanic> yeah, need to take all that into consideration
[19:00] <magespawn> a side note on the gate motor, most are 12v, they run themselves from the batteries, never taking directly form the mains, so how you charge them is up to you
[19:00] <magellanic> oh yes, the link mentions the gate also runs off it
[19:00] <magespawn> and they do use the small batteries found in most ups
[19:00] <magellanic> charged by the panel too
[19:01] <magespawn> if you were going to get really involved you could have the batteries charge from the mains when on and solar when not
[19:02] <inetpro> I can survive with a cold shower and cooking I can do with firewood or gas but
[19:02]  * inetpro can't survive without interwebs these days
[19:03] <magellanic> don't want to get really involved :P cheap as possible, power the internet and laptop/pi
[19:03] <magespawn> 12v led lights and then wire all the lights onto the batteries at the db board so you can have light too
[19:03] <magellanic> yeah that also sounds interesting
[19:03] <magellanic> in terms of cost saving
[19:03] <magespawn> there are 12 v lights that fit normal light fitings but are a tad pricey
[19:04] <magespawn> they are long life though
[19:04] <magespawn> led i think
[19:37] <Kilos> hi octoquad  poppingtonic  
[19:37] <octoquad> evening Kilos 
[19:38] <poppingtonic> hi Kilos 
[20:10] <Kilos> inetpro  fix it
[20:10] <inetpro> fix what Kilos? 
[20:11] <Kilos> everything. fly fixed things for me and i broke it again im sure
[20:13] <Kilos> like i have a branch called new-contact-page i think
[20:13] <Kilos> but cant cd to it to work in it
[20:15] <Kilos> like you cd Projects then cd ubuntu-africa
[20:15] <Kilos> then cd trunk
[20:17] <inetpro> ai! 
[20:17] <inetpro> Maaz: assumption 
[20:17] <Maaz> An assumption is a proposition that is taken for granted, as if it were true based upon presupposition without preponderance of the facts
[20:18] <Kilos> he helping agin i forgot something
[20:23] <captine> night all
[20:28] <inetpro> Kilos: I can't help you if I'm assuming that you're doing your project based on incorrect assumtions 
[20:29] <Kilos> lol
[20:29] <Kilos> ya i assume im doing the right thing but i am not
[20:30] <inetpro> remember, the fly's tutorial starts with having the project code on LP to begin with
[20:32] <Kilos> something wrong here because bzr branch trunk new-contact-page finds 2 trunks 
[20:32] <inetpro> you're doing it wrong
[20:32] <Kilos> bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "/home/miles/Projects/ubuntu-africa/trunk/trunk/".
[20:33] <Kilos> i dont see the second trunk
[20:34] <Kilos> maybe i must start from scratch
[20:34] <inetpro> Kilos: YDIW
[20:34] <Kilos> YDIW
[20:34] <Kilos> ?
[20:35] <Kilos> Maaz  define YDIW
[20:35] <Maaz> Kilos: I don't have a definition for that. Is it even a word?
[20:36] <inetpro> Maaz: YDIW
[20:36] <Maaz> YDIW stands for You're Doing It Wrong
[20:36] <Kilos> ai!
[20:37] <Kilos> Maaz  YDIW is <reply> You're Doing It Wrong Twit
[20:37] <Maaz> Kilos: I already know stuff about YDIW
[20:37] <Kilos> Maaz  ydiw
[20:37] <inetpro> is also
[20:37] <Maaz> YDIW stands for You're Doing It Wrong
[20:38] <Kilos> i think ill take everything out of this Projects and move it somewhere else then start again
[20:39] <Kilos> hope i havent messed up anything at launchpad
[20:51] <magellanic> what command throws that error at you?
[20:54] <superfly> magellanic: it's OK, we've sorted it out.
[20:55] <magellanic> okay cool
[20:55]  * Kilos the twit
[20:55] <Kilos> was in wrong directory
[20:55] <magellanic> happens..
[20:55] <Kilos> trying to branch from a branch
[20:56] <Kilos> night superfly  ty for the help
[20:56] <Kilos> sleep lekker
[20:57] <magellanic> yep I'm off too, keep well folks
[20:57] <Kilos> night magellanic  
[20:57] <Kilos> nice seeing you here
[20:57] <superfly> Kilos: you can branch from inside a branch too, you just have to use "."  and then branch somewhere externally "../new-branch"
[20:57] <Kilos> eish
[20:58] <superfly> anyways, my eyelids are closing, so I'd better zzz
[20:59] <stickyboy> I'm curious to try FreeBSD or DragonFly.
[20:59] <stickyboy> I like the DragonFly guys.
[20:59] <stickyboy> Serious engineering over there.
[20:59] <magespawn> good night all
[21:09] <Kilos> i go sleep before i mess up more
[21:09] <Kilos> night all. sleep tight
