Jacques_StryWould be interesting to see some of you guys desktop setups, want to post some?07:32
ThatGraemeGuyinstall KDE, there's my setup :-)07:34
Jacques_Strylol07:35
Jacques_Strystill don't you do any customizing?07:35
ThatGraemeGuyI have some launch icons on the taskbar07:36
pieter2627Symmetria: doesn't (0 % 2) == 0?07:36

Jacques_StryFuduntu O.O07:44
Symmetriapieter2627 heh, yes, and if it does, thats an accurate /31 subnet07:45
pieter2627my current setup (conky still based on old wallpaper) http://pasteboard.co/2BrLIy4C.jpg07:46
Symmetriabut what ThatGraemeGuy said also works :) but heh, still prefer not relying on subnet calculates etc07:46
Symmetriapieter2627 197.155.94.0/31 = 197.155.94.0 and 197.155.94.1, I only wanted to print .007:46
pieter2627Symmetria: ok (i clearly need to improve my knowledge of it :P)07:47
Symmetriathough ThatGraemeGuy, the interesting thing is, while IPCalc works to do this, what its actually outputting to do it, is incorrect from a networking perspective07:47
Symmetriasince a /31 does not have a network address or a broadcast address07:47
Symmetriaa /31 is a rather... special subnet :)07:47
ThatGraemeGuyipcalc knows that07:47
Symmetriaheh /32 = host, /30 = point to point with network/broadcast, /31 = no network, no broadcast07:47
ThatGraemeGuyhttp://pastebin.com/RJMJc6Wn, yup, ipcalc knows07:48
Jacques_Strynlsthzn: I never could get used to gnome - that launcher irritates me to no end07:49
nlsthzngnome-shell 3.14 and above is simply stunning imo... and extensions really make it imo the best DE for linux currently07:50
nlsthznbut thats just me :p07:50
Jacques_StryToo many clicks for me to do what I want - too distracting for me07:50
Jacques_StryBut it looks awesome07:52
nlsthznbinding the super key to the launcher it is similar to unity... Super-key start typing name of app... typically three characters are enough, hit enter07:52
nlsthznquick swipe to top left and get overview off all open apps and workspaces07:53
nlsthznchoose app I want or flick it to other workspace07:53
Jacques_StryTaskbar status icons not being visible is a problem for me07:53
nlsthznctrl+alt and up or down and I have the workspace with the app I wanbt07:53
nlsthznthere is an extension for that Jacques_Stry ;)07:53
nlsthznworks in 3.14, not sure about 3.16 for now07:54
Jacques_Stryinstalled the extension but it kept on bugging out for me07:54
nlsthznbut then again 3.16 brings very good notification support07:54
Jacques_Strywas loosing icons every +-2hrs07:54
nlsthznto really get the best gnome 3 experience you need to run Fedora IMO07:54
nlsthznwhich is why I am on unity :/\07:54
Jacques_Stryi see07:54
nlsthzntype the name of an app you don't even have installed yet you can simply install it from the launcher... works amazingly well07:55
nlsthznopenSuse also not bad07:55
Jacques_Stryto me the best desktop env. I have worked with was elementary os07:55
Jacques_Strysimple and the hot corners work extremely well07:55
nlsthznbut they still have there own home made applications that double what gnome already offers07:55
Jacques_Strybut had a lot of compatibility issues with it07:56
nlsthznnever enjoyed panteon that much07:56
nlsthznpantheon 07:56
Jacques_Stryhave never tried fedora07:56
Jacques_Strybut of a debian based distro junky07:56
Jacques_Strybit*07:56
nlsthznI would like to have the same experience I have with Fedora Gnome but with all the benefits of Ubuntu...07:57
nlsthznubuntu gnome not doing it for me at the moment07:57
Jacques_StryUbuntu really does have allot of benefits :)07:57
Jacques_StryJust the sheer amount of documentation on the net is what keeps me here, enough of a reason08:00
Kilosload shedding huh08:23
Jacques_Strylol08:23
Kilostwice a day now. totally sucks08:24
pieter2627ouch, for how long?08:24
Kilos2 hours 15 mins and 2.5 hours from 4 pm08:24
Kilosim waiting for it to kill this drive for me08:25
pieter2627are you planning on putting in a claim or something?08:26
Kilosi have a couple of times before, they just ignore it08:27
Kilosand now they they we have the schedule online08:27
Kilosthey say08:27
Kiloslast year and earlier i lost 3 drives08:28
Kilosnow i dont bother anymore just save for a new one08:28
pieter2627sounds like you should rather hope that it doesn't get killed08:29
Kiloswell this seagate 1TB has been going for a year faultlessly08:31
Kilosi have to zero it by accident to make it not work08:32
Kilosoh with kde on it of course08:32
Kilosonce one is used to kde i think it is difficult to change to another flavour08:34
Kilosim sure pro smiles when he hears that08:36
Kilosswine08:37
KilosJacques_Stry  whats news with book thing in vm?08:40
Jacques_Strywith the loadshedding I didn't get very far last night08:40
Kiloshahaha08:40
Jacques_StryInstalled a fresh ubuntu server VM but haven't gotten as far as installing booktype08:41
Kilosand also why must it run on a dedicated server?08:41
Jacques_Strylol dunno08:42
Kilospadroni is looking as well08:42
Kilosif it can be done without that dedicated server thing he could maybe host for us08:42
Kiloshi raywan|away  did any one greet you here when you logged in08:43
Jacques_Strydoesn't seem to work with mysql it seems and that is what most hosting company's provide you so think it will have to be a dedicated08:43
Kilosif not welcome to ubuntu-za08:43
stickyboyKilos: raywan|away is currently backpacking across East Africa. :P08:43
Kilosoh my 08:44
stickyboyKilos: (with a backpack I gave him) :P08:44
stickyboygo go go explore the world!08:44
Kiloshaha good man stickyboy  08:44
Kilosbut hard work on foot08:44
Kilosshoes are expensive08:44
stickyboyAm I prepared to give up thefro.org?08:45
Kiloswhats that? dont make me google or go to a link08:46
Kilosi get tired with all the rtfs08:46
Kilosforget that now and finish your git thing08:47
Kilosshame , poor DalekSec  must be sorry he joined a channel of nutcases08:48
Jacques_StryHaha, well were all nuts - even if only a little08:49

Kilosstickyboy  sell it and by a pc for ubuntu08:52
Kilosbuy08:54
Kilosthen you will take a leap up in status08:55
Kilosstickyboy  Unable to look up www.thefro.org09:00
stickyboyKilos: Yah, I don't have anything there right now. :P09:04
Kilossjoe09:04
Jacques_Strylol I tried too09:06
Kiloslol09:06
Kilosstickyboy  whats the oddos of converting it to a dedicated server for booktype09:07
Kilosodds09:07
Kilosthen you can help educate the nations09:09

Jacques_StryStarting to think I should invest in one for this lappy even if I have to buy it myself09:26
ThatGraemeGuyyeah my work laptop has one, they understand the value thats gained09:26
Kilosai!09:45

inetproThatGraemeGuy: thanks for the lesson09:59
ThatGraemeGuywhich lesson? o_O09:59
Kiloshi inetpro  jy stout man09:59
* inetpro didn't know about the subnet calculation part of ipcalc10:00
inetpro:-)10:00
inetprovery handy10:00
ThatGraemeGuyoh :)10:00
inetprobut then I don't need it all day every day as well10:00
inetproSymmetria: nice little bash one-liner 10:01
inetproThatGraemeGuy: I use ipcalc often but just for the basic calculation of a single network profile10:03
inetproKilos: hoekom ek stout?10:03

Kiloswb pieter2627  11:31
pieter2627thanks Kilos (lappy freezing)11:31
Kiloseish11:31
Kiloswhat are you running there again?11:33
pieter262714.10 unity11:33
* pieter2627 hopes Kilos is indeed talking to him11:33
Kilosyeah11:33
Kilosnow you got to find whats causing the freezing11:34
Kilosthere must be some way of finding the prob11:35
pieter2627too many open stuff with little ram(swap freeze up) - or at least i think so11:35
Kilosask mr fixit11:35
Kiloshow much ram?11:35
pieter2627pro?11:35
pieter26272Gb11:35
Kilosya him11:36
Kiloseish ram11:36
Kiloshave you tried waiting when it freezes to see what happens11:37
Kilosis your swap on11:37
pieter2627sometimes in comes back - just too impatient at other times11:37
Kilosthat means its struggling ya11:38
pieter2627yes swap is on, but am thinking of increasing it11:38
Kilossize?11:38
Kilosyou can go twice the size of your ram i think11:38
Kilosthat rings a bell somewhere11:38
Kilosoh try munin11:39
pieter2627current 1Gb - yea twice is recommended (just didn't know it back then)11:39
pieter2627munin?11:39
Kilosit sees whats using resources or something11:40
KilosThatGraemeGuy  can you fill in please11:40
ThatGraemeGuyfill in what?11:40
Kiloswhat munin does11:40
pieter2627ok (am currently keeping an eye on atop)11:40
Jacques_Strywhat is your swappiness value atm?11:41
pieter26278011:41
Kiloshow do i check?11:41
pieter2627or 6011:41
ThatGraemeGuywhat does 'free -m' say?11:41
Jacques_Strycat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness11:41

Jacques_StryBest fix is more mem yes :)11:42
pieter2627LOL yeah i know11:42
Jacques_Strywhat interface you running?11:43
pieter2627unity11:43
Kiloskde11:43
ThatGraemeGuyget more ram or try XFCE11:43
ThatGraemeGuyor LXDE11:43
Kilos14.0411:43
Jacques_Stryxfce or lxde will help allot11:43
ThatGraemeGuy2GB is not a lot for a modern desktop OS11:43
Jacques_Stryreduces ram usage11:43
Kilosyou can also install mate11:44
Kilosmakes it much lighter11:44
pieter2627that on the plan in a few days, just have to hold till then11:44
Kilosi think its in the repos11:44
ThatGraemeGuyi doubt mate would be lighter than XFCE/LXDE11:44
ThatGraemeGuyisn't it another GNOME fork?11:44
Kilosi dunno but really speeds up unity11:44
ThatGraemeGuyo_O11:45
Kilosya mate is a fork of gnome211:45
ThatGraemeGuyok I think you probably lost the plot somewhere11:45
ThatGraemeGuymate cannot speed up unity11:45
Kilosit uses the mate gui11:45
Kilosthen unity sleeps11:45
Kilosyou choose at boot11:45
ThatGraemeGuyo_O11:45
ThatGraemeGuyok I'm out of this discussion11:46
Jacques_Stryhaha11:46
Kiloshehe11:46
Jacques_Strypieter set swappiness to 1011:46
Jacques_Strywill help a bit at making it a bit more responsive11:46
ThatGraemeGuyI'd make it 0 but thats just me11:47
ThatGraemeGuyonly swap if you absolutely have to11:47
ThatGraemeGuybut you can tweak and tune all you want, you will need more memory at some point11:47
ThatGraemeGuyin the car tuning world there's a saying "there's no replacement for displacement", i.e. you can gain power by tweaking little things here and there, maybe add some form of forced induction but at the end of the day you're better off with the 2.0 than the 1.411:49
ThatGraemeGuymemory is the same11:49
Kilosagreed 11:49
Kilosram is expensive though11:50
pieter2627what happens when it is at 0 - had it at 10 at times11:50
ThatGraemeGuyso is that 2.0 engine, but if you're complaining about the 1.4 being too slow, there isn't much to do but come up with the money somehow :)11:51
Jacques_Stryon 0 when you run out of ram it thrashes a bit so I prefer setting it on 5 usually11:51
Kilosa 16v golg or jetta outrun a 3l ford11:51
Kilosgolf11:52
Jacques_Strythe thing is when I do blender I can run out of ram even on my home pc with 16gb11:52
Kilossjoe11:52
Jacques_Strypieter2627: If you want to make the change permanant then add "vm.swappiness = 5" to /etc/sysctl.conf11:53
Jacques_Strypermanent*11:54
pieter2627i might experiment with some temps first then set the best one - remember that a really low value seemed bad in the past11:55
pieter2627i can remember*11:55

inetprosuperfly: what was that thing you do to get different colors for nicknames in Quassel?19:05
confluencyinetpro: in the nick sidebar or in the chat window?19:12
inetproconfluency: in the chat window19:12
confluencyFor the chat window you check sender colours in "chat view".19:12
* inetpro is googling and remember it's something to do with stylesheets19:13
confluencyIt's in the configuration. Go to the "chat view" section. Check "sender colours".19:14
confluencyI think stylesheets affect it too, but you don't need a stylesheet,19:15
