Kilosyay sharks win15:00
inetproKilos: final score 8-43? 15:21

Kilosso far they looking better15:34
inetprocan someone please start a streaming service that will rival Supersport in terms of streaming sports 15:37
inetproall I need is a very low quality stream to watch on my cell 15:39
Kilos90 minutes of streaming will kill data15:39
Kilosdo cells use less data than pcs15:39
inetpronot necessarily but I want the option to choose low quality in order to reduce amount of data needed 15:41
Kilosah15:42
squish101inetpro if you find any streaming of sports, would love to see it from overseas15:42
Kilosim sure these supers games must be streamed15:42
squish101but if you dont have dstv acount details, you cannot see them (I don't think)15:43
Kilosor has multichoice got all the rights15:43
Kilosai!15:43
squish101as soon as i get google fiber, i'll start my own netflix for friends and use plex to share out my collection15:44

IqbalHi16:25
squish102yes Kilos16:25
Kilosstormers doing ok inetpro 16:26
Kilosanother du preez making history16:27
IqbalUpdate: my laptop miraculously started with the Ubuntu CD and I installed it. I had to get a physical Internet connection to download the broadcom wireless driver.16:27
Kilosok16:27
IqbalI'm on 12.04. Hesitant to upgrade16:28
Kilosif data isnt a prob you should use 14.0416:28
Kilosmost likely would have had the drivers in already16:28
squish102when is the next lts version coming out.. in a couple months?16:29
Kilosyou should be able to upgrade to 14.0416:29
Kilosnext lts is in a couple of months16:29
IqbalIf I upgrade, will I need to download the broadcom wireless driver again?16:29
Kilosbest would be to download the iso then run it live from dvd or flash and see 16:30
IqbalShould I wait for the next LTS?16:30
Kiloswell a few of us are sticking on 14.04 till 16.04 is running well16:30
Kilosinetpro advise^16:31
Kilosor advice16:31
inetproKilos, want to know how IPv4 subnetting works? 16:31
Kilosohi superfly 16:31
inetprohttp://serverfault.com/questions/49765/how-does-ipv4-subnetting-work16:31
IqbalHow do I save the broadcom wireless driver and re-install it, if necessary?16:32
Kilosyou will have the package16:32
Kilosin /var/cache/apt/archives/16:32
Kilosyou can save all downloaded and installed packages to media16:33
Kiloshave you got a flash disk spare16:33
Kilosone easy command can save it all for you16:33
IqbalSorry, I'm not clued up? I mean, how do I save it to a flash drive?16:33
Kilosok you plug flash in16:34
inetproIqbal: do you have lots of data available to download stuff? 16:34
Kilosbetter if you can format it with an easy name16:34
Kilosoh ya take over inetpro 16:35
* inetpro prefers LTS versions 16:35
Kiloscloud stuff there too16:35
IqbalSorry, have to go, be back in a while. Thanks16:35
inetproKilos: no, no 16:35
Kilosoh16:35
inetproothers here are already on the alpha version of 16.0416:36
Kilosyes ut he is new16:36
Kilosbut16:36
Kilosso need to learn more before jumping in like that16:36
Kilosand alpha and beta is never same as the release16:37
inetproif data is available, I always advise newbies to download multiple versions 16:37
inetproplay with it 16:37
inetproin fact install fedora, install Debian, install all kinds of different distributions 16:38
inetprosee for yourself 16:39
inetprohttp://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity16:42
inetproinstall them all 😊16:43
* inetpro can't wait to see a stable converged Ubuntu 16:46
Kilosno man16:46
inetprowhat? 16:46
Kilosinstall ubuntu or even better kubuntu16:47
Kilosand he has a funny laptop i think16:47
inetprothat's for me and you Kilos 16:47
Kiloswas a prob just to get it to see the dvd16:48
inetprothe young ones must learn it all 16:48
Kilosnono16:48
Kilosthey can learn from ubuntu then change if they like16:48
Kilosthey need a good basic where help is available anf then change once they are comfy with linux16:49
inetproai! 16:50
Kiloswhat ai!16:50
inetprothere's no single strategy to keep them here 16:50
Kiloslike try telling oom jan to try fedora16:50
inetprooom Jan knows more than you think 16:52
inetprodon't underestimate him16:52
inetprobut I agree with you 16:53
inetprojust tough to decide what to install just before a new release 16:54
inetproguess it's always best to install the tried and tested 16:55
Kilosoh he knows lots more than me already, i see him doing stuff when helped on the list16:55
Kilosbut he wont try another linux16:55
Kilosim sure16:56
Kilosand im sure unity will keep getting better16:56
Kilosif data int a prob doing running releases might be the way to go16:57
Kilosif it want for data id still be moving every 6 months16:57
Kilosbut now im happy on kde so anything else will be just for playing with17:01
inetproat the office I still run on 12.0417:04
Kilos12.04 was a good release17:04
Kilosi have it in unity on old p417:04
Kilosbut bento 14.04 is quicker than unity 12.0417:05
squish102why is mint #1 on that list?17:06
Kiloslight17:07
Kilosunity chased many17:07
Kilosmate in ubuntu is similar i think17:07
squish102anyone have tips on the best way to share some tv shows I have with family? 17:09
squish102they could stream with plex, but i was thinking of putting it somewhere for them to download17:09
squish102what ever happened to that open ftp server in za17:09
fusionsparcDamn, mint has highest rank atm..17:18

IqbalI am sceptical about trying to boot, as I couldn't get past the bios password. I still don't know how come the Ubuntu CD started17:41
Kilosyour bios must be set to boot from cd17:41
IqbalOk17:41
Kilosso dont worry17:41

Kilosbut you will find everything works faster once you have got updates18:02
IqbalI clicked on Send to my flash drive. When I open the flash drive, it shows the archives and partial folder but the partial folder is blank18:03
Kilosdont worry about the partial18:04
Kilosthings only show once updated18:04
IqbalSorry the archives folder doesn't show the driver18:05
Kilosnow you need to decide if you want to get 12.04 running properly first or if you want to install 14.04 and take the chance that the driver you have doesnt work in 14.0418:06
Kiloswhere  did you get the driver18:06
Kilosopen home folder and look in downloads18:06
IqbalI connected to a friend's physical Internet connection and downloaded the driver18:07
