| Kilos | hi captine | 06:07 |
| captine | hey Kilos | 06:10 |
| Kilos | hi Trixar_za | 06:44 |
| Kilos | hows things there | 06:44 |

| inetpro | . | 07:36 |
| * Kilos .. | 07:36 | |
| Kilos | aw i forgot | 07:37 |
| Kilos | i wonder what the . and .. mean actually | 07:47 |
| Kilos | oh ya how does one manipulate google search thing to find the africa site first when peeps type in ubuntu-africa? | 07:57 |
| arnaudmez | Hello guys | 09:20 |
| Kilos | hi arnaudmez | 09:21 |
| arnaudmez | hi Kilos | 09:21 |
| arnaudmez | what's on the desk today | 09:21 |
| Kilos | what did you break? | 09:21 |
| arnaudmez | ? | 09:21 |
| Kilos | lol | 09:21 |
| arnaudmez | nothing today | 09:22 |
| Kilos | yay | 09:22 |
| arnaudmez | and you ? did you break something these days ? | 09:22 |
| Kilos | no since i went to kubuntu 14.04 on a new 1TB drive nothing breaks anymore | 09:23 |
| arnaudmez | Cool | 09:23 |
| Kilos | whats happening about your linux classes | 09:24 |
| arnaudmez | so you mean Kubuntu is better than the normal Ubuntu + Unity ? | 09:24 |
| Kilos | oh yes much more stable | 09:24 |
| arnaudmez | Okay for minux class let's take it off here, it's more private at this stage | 09:25 |
| Kilos | ok | 09:25 |
| arnaudmez | are you running plasma 5 on that KUB 14.04 | 09:25 |
| Kilos | no | 09:25 |
| Kilos | will go to plasma 5 on 16.04 | 09:26 |
| arnaudmez | Why only on 16.04 ? | 09:37 |
| Kilos | going from lts to lts means less mobile data used | 09:37 |
| arnaudmez | Okay I see, you upgrade using distr upgrade in a terminal right | 09:45 |
| Kilos | no i normally do a clen install but with /home backed up | 09:46 |
| Kilos | clean | 09:46 |
| arnaudmez | Okay | 09:46 |
| arnaudmez | Once in 2008 I did an upgrade from terminal and it's just crsshhh everything hopefully I had backup of y data's | 09:47 |
| arnaudmez | and to avoid that my solution was to order for every new Ubuntu release with Repo DVD's throught FossCd.co.za which helped me a lot for year | 09:48 |
| arnaudmez | **years i mean | 09:49 |
| Kilos | the good thing about having good backups is if the new install doesnt work you can always reintsall the old one, backup , and carry on | 09:49 |
| Kilos | but then superfly upgrades everytime | 09:50 |
| arnaudmez | so did someone here tried ubuntu 15.04 or even kernel 4.0 ? | 09:50 |
| Kilos | kde is very reliable | 09:50 |
| Kilos | there are a few yes | 09:51 |
| arnaudmez | I'm on kernel 4.0 and it's just good | 10:06 |
| arnaudmez | first thing they promise get's real "no reboot after critical upgrade" | 10:07 |
| Kilos | lol | 10:20 |
| captine | ok. got a keyboard. now to try install 15.04 gnome edition | 12:18 |
| Kilos | yay | 12:18 |
| captine | see u all in a bit. /home is on a seperate drive so hoping all goes well | 12:19 |
| captine | so... when u are used to unity, the change to gnome is a little strange... need to learn a bit | 13:03 |
| Kilos | lol | 13:06 |
| captine | yip. lol it is | 13:06 |
| Kilos | why did you change? | 13:06 |
| captine | for the fun of it... | 13:06 |
| captine | i used to use gnome | 13:06 |
| captine | on other distro's | 13:06 |
| captine | so thought I would give it a spin | 13:06 |
| Kilos | gnome2 | 13:06 |
| captine | gnome 3 on crunchbang | 13:07 |
| captine | some years back | 13:07 |
| Kilos | ah | 13:07 |
| Kilos | crunchbang was a pain to me i couldnt get 3g going | 13:07 |
| Kilos | so trasshed it | 13:08 |
| captine | yip. at the time,i couldnt get ubuntu to install on my acer laptop, but crunchbang somehow did | 13:08 |
| Kilos | wow | 13:09 |
| captine | now to install all my apps | 13:10 |
| captine | lol. this is the fun part | 13:10 |
| georgelappies | hi all | 13:42 |

| superfly | afternoon Kilos | 14:43 |
| captine | hi superfly | 14:43 |
| superfly | hey captine | 14:44 |
| Kilos | hmm... | 15:47 |
| captine | hmmmm??? | 16:25 |
| Kilos | so quiet | 16:25 |
| Kilos | Maaz hmm... | 16:26 |
| Maaz | hmm... is often used to try make others believe one is actually thinking | 16:26 |
| magespawn | good evening | 16:26 |
| Kilos | hiya magespawn | 16:26 |
| magespawn | how are things Kilos ? | 16:37 |
| Kilos | much too quiet magespawn and there? | 16:38 |
| Kilos | cold also here | 16:38 |
| magespawn | not cold here, but quite alround i think | 16:38 |
| Kilos | oh magespawn you said with a switch you have to then set ip's right? | 16:40 |
| Kilos | all i did was from here tick allow others | 16:40 |
| magespawn | yes, or have one computer control it | 16:40 |
| Kilos | oh ok | 16:40 |
| magespawn | ahh so then you are just sharing the internet connection | 16:41 |
| Kilos | yessir | 16:41 |
| Kilos | what else is there to share | 16:41 |
| magespawn | there are limitations to that | 16:41 |
| Kilos | oh | 16:41 |
| magespawn | hard drives, server style programs etc | 16:41 |
| Kilos | na i dont wanna share this kde with anything else | 16:42 |
| magespawn | for example you could store all your music on one pc but allow access to it for both | 16:42 |
| Kilos | no time to listen to music anymore | 16:43 |
| magespawn | always time for music | 16:44 |
| Kilos | lol | 16:44 |
| magespawn | anyway helps me concentrate | 16:44 |
| Kilos | no man then i wanna sing not concentrate | 16:44 |
| magespawn | ahhh, well i can't sing | 16:45 |
| Kilos | lol nor can i but who cares | 16:45 |
| captine | anyone here used mumble before? (prob only non-3G users, as voip might be pricey on 3G | 16:54 |
| Kilos | lol | 16:55 |
| superfly | captine: a LONG time ago | 16:56 |
| captine | ah. i am on the jupiterbroadcasting one, but man, getting my audio right is a pain | 16:56 |
| superfly | worked fine for me | 16:57 |
| magespawn | mumble? | 17:07 |
| * magespawn goes to have a look | 17:07 | |
| captine | lol | 17:21 |
| captine | magespawn, it is like a voip tool mainly for games | 17:21 |
| captine | but is used by some podcasters | 17:23 |
| magespawn | looks pretty cool, might also be useful for things like conferencing or support | 17:24 |
| magespawn | only 12 mb too | 17:29 |
| captine | yip | 17:34 |
| captine | just need good data. | 17:34 |
| captine | jitsi is also pretty slick.. would use that if I had my own company. | 17:34 |
| magespawn | jitsi? you guys keep too many secrets | 17:34 |
| captine | lol. it is like google hangouts | 17:35 |
| captine | but self hosted | 17:35 |
| captine | still a bit rough. | 17:35 |
| captine | what data line do you have at hoime? | 17:35 |
| captine | 3g or adsl? | 17:35 |
| magespawn | 3g sometimes | 17:38 |
| captine | ah. | 17:39 |
| captine | i hear of all these things on jupiterbroadcasting's shows (Linux action show and Linux Unplugged) | 17:39 |
| captine | but I use between 150 and 200 gig of data per month between me and my wife, so not feasible on 3g | 17:40 |
| Kilos | whew | 17:43 |
| magespawn | i could sell a kidney | 17:48 |
| magespawn | i hear they fetch quite a bit | 17:49 |
| Kilos | how much? | 17:49 |
| magespawn | not sure on the exact amounts | 17:55 |
| captine | lol | 18:01 |
| captine | cannot wait for SA to get real compelling data. even if it was just back to unlimited local data | 18:01 |
| captine | we could then host local vm's etc and run these sorts of tools | 18:02 |
| captine | which would enable sme's to grow and grow and grow | 18:02 |
| captine | ubuntu-gnome channel does not have much action... :) | 18:02 |
| Kilos | everyone is recovering from may day | 18:06 |
| captine | ? | 18:07 |
| Kilos | oh its the 2nd already | 18:07 |
| stickyboy | Kilos: https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2015/05/02/meeting-snowden-in-princeton/ | 18:19 |
| stickyboy | GO go go! | 18:19 |
| Kilos | what is that stickyboy | 18:19 |
| stickyboy | captine: I ran an XMPP server for a few months last year. | 18:19 |
| stickyboy | I was really going to move off Hangouts. | 18:20 |
| stickyboy | But then nobody would talk to me. heheheeheh | 18:20 |
| stickyboy | I even wrote an ansible playbook with all my setup / settings: https://github.com/alanorth/ansible_blog/tree/prosody | 18:20 |
| Kilos | eish all that rtfs | 18:21 |
| stickyboy | eish | 18:22 |
| stickyboy | Kilos: previous link was about Edward Snowden and cryptography. | 18:22 |
| Kilos | im too old to worry about that stuff | 18:23 |
| Kilos | i just need stuff that works not more to think about | 18:24 |
| stickyboy | Kilos: Ok, let me just recommend you stop using Facebook, Skype, WhatsApp, Google Hangouts. | 18:28 |
| stickyboy | IRC is ok though. :P | 18:28 |
| Kilos | i use irc and pidgin and on rare ocasions just go comment on fb | 18:29 |
| Kilos | but im sure others went and looked so dont feel bad | 18:33 |
| Kilos | night all. sleep tight | 19:02 |
| captine | stickyboy, lol. sorry, just got back from re-settling my daughter | 19:04 |
| captine | funy one | 19:04 |
| captine | like using telegram instead of whatsapp.. tough to get others to buy in | 19:04 |
| superfly | hey captine, I also use Telegram. Almost everyone I know is on Telegram now. | 19:45 |
| captine | superfly, cool. | 19:46 |
| captine | I am trying to get friends and family on it | 19:46 |
| captine | but not going well | 19:46 |
| superfly | My mom and dad only have WhatsApp-capable phones, but that's a step up from nothing | 19:47 |
| captine | lol | 19:48 |
| captine | so superfly, decided to give 15.04 gnome edition a run. quite enjoying it. you on the KDE edition, if I recall? | 19:49 |
| superfly | run Kubuntu at work, but Debian at home | 20:04 |
| superfly | Plasma 5 is nice, but the breeze theme is a little too much whitespace | 20:04 |
| magespawn | i have found that i tend to prefer the darker setups and themes, beside i think that the new wwill not run on my steam powered laptop | 20:07 |
| superfly | there's a dark breeze theme, but it's just not Obsidian Coast | 20:09 |
| superfly | Obsidian Coast has way more subtle lines and shadows | 20:09 |
| superfly | much more friendly to the eye | 20:09 |
| captine | i prefer dark to | 20:10 |
| captine | but for some reason, my software centre fonts are a similar colour to the background. driving me nuts. cannot read a thing in the software centre | 20:10 |
| superfly | captine: yeah, I have that problem on some websites, where the idiot designers presume everyone has a light/white background | 20:11 |
| superfly | so they hard-code the text colour to a dark gray... the same gray as my background. thanks a lot, twits. don't you even know your CSS rules? | 20:11 |
| captine | :) | 20:11 |
| captine | well. this is worse as it is in ubuntu-gnome edition | 20:12 |
| captine | lol | 20:12 |
| superfly | reasoning with drunkards: worse than reasoning with toddlers | 20:27 |
| captine | lol | 20:35 |
| captine | i am keen to put all my dvd's onto my plex media box, but am really not keen to spend days and days ripping them... | 20:36 |
| captine | first learning how to rip in linux command line, then ripping one at a time... man... sucks | 20:37 |
| superfly | k3b can do ripping | 20:37 |
| superfly | handbrake | 20:37 |
| superfly | handbrake.fr | 20:38 |
| gremble | o/ | 20:41 |
| magespawn | hi gremble | 20:41 |
| gremble | Hey magespawn | 20:42 |
| magespawn | and it does it well too | 20:42 |
| gremble | Hopefully, otherwise it would have to try again | 20:42 |
| gremble | How are you magespawn? | 20:43 |
| magespawn | good and you gremble ? | 20:43 |
| gremble | I am well thank you | 20:44 |
| superfly | hey gremble | 20:46 |
| gremble | Hey superfly | 20:46 |
| gremble | Doing well? | 20:46 |
| superfly | not too bad. | 20:48 |
| superfly | you? | 20:48 |
| gremble | Not bad either. Trying to work, but my cat wants to eat the ink from my pen | 20:48 |
| captine | superfly, but that is all gui. no dvd on my main machine... only on my file server | 20:49 |
| superfly | gremble: mine just uses me as a bed | 20:49 |
| superfly | captine: ah | 20:49 |
| superfly | ffmpeg then | 20:50 |
| captine | yip. need to look into that | 20:50 |
| magespawn | that also works well | 20:50 |
| superfly | captine: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/6585/dvd-ripping-with-ffmpeg | 20:54 |
| superfly | captine: I recommend the second method | 20:54 |
| captine | superfly, thanks | 20:54 |
| captine | looking into it now. | 20:54 |
| superfly | You're welcome | 20:54 |
| superfly | ffmpeg is the bomb | 20:54 |
| superfly | I'm not 100% sure if ffmpeg is still in Ubuntu. You might have to use it's cousin, svconv | 20:54 |
| superfly | *avconv | 20:55 |
| captine | yip | 21:00 |
| captine | i see it is not in 14.04. apparently back in 15.04 | 21:00 |
| captine | there is some fork of it though | 21:00 |
| captine | using avconv for now... seems to be doing something | 21:03 |
| captine | ooo. just installed macfanctld on my mac mini that i am using... and the fan kicked into overdrive... eish. been warming the poor machine up all this time | 21:10 |
| superfly | night everyone | 21:21 |
| magespawn | night superfly | 21:21 |
| gremble | Good night | 21:22 |
| magespawn | i am also off, good night all | 21:26 |
| gremble | cheers magespawn | 21:26 |
