TheMurdz | Morning Kilos | 04:39 |
Kilos | hi TheMurdz | 04:39 |
Kilos | welcome to ubuntu-za | 04:39 |
TheMurdz | Thanks a bunch! | 04:40 |
Kilos | you havent been here before hey? | 04:40 |
TheMurdz | Nope, Only started engaging with local communities today. | 04:41 |
Kilos | great you are welcome to hang here 24/7 | 04:41 |
Kilos | tell us a bit about yourself | 04:41 |
Kilos | like where you are and what system you use etc | 04:42 |
Kilos | you know who weare hey? | 04:42 |
Kilos | we are | 04:42 |
TheMurdz | Awe, Thanks. Sounds like a plan. Well, I'm a sysadmin for one of ZA's ISPs, We don't really use Ubuntu for production, and our workstations are mainly MacOS unless we ask for something else. My personal systems at home though use Ubuntu though. | 04:42 |
TheMurdz | I assume you're all ZA's Ubuntu community ? | 04:42 |
Kilos | yip thats us | 04:43 |
TheMurdz | Well I'm based in JHB. I live the early life, usually up already at 5am. Cleaning up Naemon... | 04:43 |
Kilos | we invite all linux users and even have the odd windows person here when he needs help migrating to linux | 04:44 |
Kilos | cool we have quite a few sysadmins here | 04:44 |
TheMurdz | hahaha, great great. Good morning to the one Windows user wherever he/she roams. | 04:44 |
TheMurdz | Great to hear! | 04:45 |
Kilos | may i ask which isp | 04:45 |
TheMurdz | Afrihost | 04:46 |
Kilos | cool quite a few guys use it | 04:46 |
Kilos | now they have direct contact | 04:47 |
TheMurdz | Nice. haha, Well I'll only really help out with hosting and it's infrastructure. The residential connectivity side of things I can't really help out with much. | 04:47 |
TheMurdz | I'm open to help, but if things break, I'll just be handing out delayed responses. I'm sure you understand why though. | 04:48 |
Kilos | yeah but you could maybe point them to the correct peeps when they have hassles | 04:48 |
TheMurdz | Sure, that's cool with me. You seem like the only one awake so early? | 04:50 |
Kilos | our fly is most likely half asleep on the train to work | 04:50 |
Kilos | and other sysadmins do most of their work after everyone else goes home | 04:51 |
TheMurdz | Oh, shame man. | 04:51 |
Kilos | im the greeter bot here | 04:51 |

Kilos | haha na we are too friendly | 05:54 |
* mazal speaks in very cruel tongues | 06:04 | |
mazal | What a struggle | 06:04 |
TheMurdz | What broke now? | 06:04 |
Kilos | lol | 06:04 |
mazal | Tried installing something small last night at home and failed due to no internet. Searching now for full offline solution for install , none | 06:04 |
Kilos | oh mazal we looked at that on trello | 06:05 |
mazal | Developer answer: " We live in 21st century and don't care about the minority that don't have internet " | 06:05 |
Kilos | there are ways | 06:05 |
mazal | He clearly don't live in SA | 06:05 |
Kilos | inetpro tell him | 06:05 |
Kilos | mazal what app do you need to get? | 06:06 |
mazal | Forge | 06:06 |
mazal | Minecraft forge to be more exact | 06:06 |
Kilos | get that and run apt rdepends for all the dependancies | 06:06 |
Kilos | ai! | 06:07 |
Kilos | you and your games | 06:07 |
mazal | Have nothing else oom | 06:07 |
thatgraemeguy | to be honest its hard to fault him on that.... trying to be a normal user of a PC without good internet access is hard enough, but for a power user / enthusiast..... that's just so rare it isn't worth the effort to try and support that scenario | 06:07 |
mazal | Don't even have tv | 06:07 |
Kilos | ai! | 06:07 |
Kilos | told you get your 3g working and chat to us at night man | 06:08 |
Kilos | forget gaming | 06:08 |
Kilos | you missed lots last night | 06:08 |
mazal | thatgraemeguy: Yeah I can understand that answer. The problem is SA and the dreadful customer service and lack of infrastructure here , not the developer's fault | 06:08 |
thatgraemeguy | exactly | 06:09 |
Kilos | hmm... cupasoup lekker in the cold | 06:09 |
thatgraemeguy | also the lack of infrastructure is not as widespread even here | 06:09 |
thatgraemeguy | not saying there isn't a lack in some places but because of vocal minority effect it seems worse than it really is | 06:09 |
mazal | Oom it's very lonely at home , gaming is literaly all I have. No wife , no kids , no pets , no tv , no internet , no hot water , nothing !!!! | 06:09 |
Kilos | eish no hot water even | 06:10 |
TheMurdz | Ouch... | 06:10 |
thatgraemeguy | no attachments..... time to move somewhere better then :) | 06:10 |
mazal | Kilos: No hot water for a week now yes | 06:10 |
Kilos | ai! | 06:10 |
mazal | Geaser broke , none in stock to replace | 06:10 |
thatgraemeguy | where do you live exactly? :-o | 06:11 |
mazal | Cullinan. Problem with the geyser thing is I live on goverment terrain. That will say it all | 06:11 |
mazal | I hire a flat with them | 06:12 |
mazal | So physical breakdowns on the flats gets repaired at goverment pace | 06:12 |
thatgraemeguy | population 8,693 | 06:12 |
mazal | Nah is not really a very small town actually | 06:12 |
thatgraemeguy | yeah man, you need to move. that place isn't on anyone's priority list sadly | 06:13 |
mazal | Can't afford it on my salary | 06:13 |
thatgraemeguy | not with THAT attitude! ;p | 06:13 |
mazal | Cost of living is so high I simply can't afford it , it's a fact | 06:14 |
mazal | Only thing is to try and find better work then | 06:14 |
thatgraemeguy | go for it, apply all over, sounds like you have nothing to lose | 06:15 |
mazal | White male over 40 in SA , with no qualifications , what's te chance | 06:16 |
thatgraemeguy | I guess with that kind of attitude, then no chance | 06:16 |
mazal | Me and Barry have a bussness idea though which is much better me thinks | 06:17 |
mazal | But we need capital | 06:17 |
mazal | Something here that everyone needs and is not here yet , Postnet | 06:17 |
TheMurdz | omg... Ubuntu and Hyper-V don't like playing along today... tsk tsk | 06:25 |
TheMurdz | Well, every day really. | 06:25 |
TheMurdz | Don't know if anyone knows about it, but it seems like ubuntu VMs hosted on HyperV hangs on shutdown with "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility", an end user gave me a fix a while back, I'll dig this up and share if anyone has the same problem :( | 06:28 |
TheMurdz | >> apt-get install hv-kvp-daemon-init linux-tools-`uname -r` linux-cloud-tools-`uname -r` | 06:31 |
TheMurdz | This was the fix, let's see how well it works. | 06:31 |
Kilos | waiting | 06:42 |
TheMurdz | End user taking their time... | 06:44 |
Kilos | if it works save the fix , sooner or later someone will need it | 06:45 |
Kilos | TheMurdz you know you can use apt on its own from 14.04 | 06:46 |
TheMurdz | I had no idea, just tried it now. NEAT!. Thanks Kilos. | 06:47 |
Kilos | np | 06:47 |
Kilos | we just heard about it a couple or few weeks ago | 06:47 |

Kilos | yip winter has shoved its ugly head in the door | 06:51 |
TheMurdz | The fix was successful and fixed the problem! WOO Save'd | 06:53 |

mazal | Just going through my active stuff here to see what's running and saw it | 07:05 |
Kilos | ah | 07:05 |
Kilos | you still going slow there | 07:05 |
mazal | Still looking for what could cause me issues | 07:05 |
mazal | Yep | 07:05 |
mazal | Thing is , once everything is up and running then it's fine. It's the boot , the log-in and opening file manager that has issues | 07:06 |
mazal | And opening an app | 07:06 |
mazal | Once the app is open though it works normal | 07:06 |
mazal | Dies kinda sound like HDD doesn't it. | 07:07 |
mazal | does* | 07:07 |
Kilos | i dont know, they dont seem to slow down much here | 07:07 |
Kilos | and i have some old ones | 07:08 |
Kilos | is it sata or still ide | 07:08 |
mazal | SATA | 07:08 |
Kilos | size? | 07:08 |
mazal | Well the old drives was much better. These new ones , I dunno. Lost 2x 2TB lately , both were not even 2 years old | 07:08 |
Kilos | where are they now | 07:09 |
Kilos | i need 2tb spares | 07:09 |
mazal | This one is a 1TB , but 2 partitions | 07:09 |
mazal | 250gig OS , the rest storage | 07:09 |
mazal | I "helped" them out the door oom | 07:09 |
Kilos | man i told you long ago i need old drives for spares | 07:10 |
Kilos | i have a 2tb that needs a platter | 07:10 |
Kilos | ai! ek sukkel met my volk | 07:10 |
Kilos | did you look at that link i gave you on speeding up kubuntu | 07:11 |
mazal | How would I get it to you oom ? | 07:17 |
mazal | Post office also had no service delivery | 07:18 |
mazal | has* | 07:18 |
Kilos | i can ask my son to stop there on his way past | 07:18 |
mazal | Oh ok , does he live close here ? | 07:18 |
Kilos | he travels all over sorting clients | 07:18 |
mazal | Ok will remember that , will give a shout when the next one breaks , my storage one at home is close to breaking | 07:19 |
mazal | And that's a 2tb | 07:19 |
Kilos | he is in rustyenburg but travels to places like thabantsimbi at times | 07:19 |
mazal | Also only about 3 years old and I can hear it "clanking". Not far from dead | 07:19 |
Kilos | oh my | 07:20 |
Kilos | thats bad | 07:20 |
mazal | Yeah , the old smaller drives was much tougher | 07:20 |
mazal | I have much much older 500gig drives that's still going without issue | 07:21 |
Kilos | yeah | 07:21 |
Kilos | now they making them even larger | 07:21 |
mazal | BTW , what's the lifetime of the SSD's ? They will have only so many read/writes ? | 07:21 |
Kilos | http://betanews.com/2014/12/05/modern-ssds-can-last-a-lifetime/ | 07:23 |
Kilos | hehe | 07:23 |
Kilos | this one im using here was a discard from a windows pc | 07:24 |
Kilos | works lekker | 07:24 |
Sxuza | hey guys :) | 07:26 |
Sxuza | http://myvoipwireless.co.za <-- what do u guys think of these people and their services , in comparison with the current services we have in the country for Wireless connections | 07:26 |
Kilos | hi Sxuza | 07:26 |
Sxuza | hey Kilos | 07:27 |
thatgraemeguy | <Kilos> i have a 2tb that needs a platter | 07:27 |
thatgraemeguy | huh? you want to replace a single platter? | 07:28 |
Kilos | or both , im not sure if both are bust | 07:28 |
thatgraemeguy | you realise you cannot replace a platter? | 07:28 |
Kilos | why? | 07:29 |
TheMurdz | Heya Sxuza | 07:29 |
thatgraemeguy | because the inside of a HDD is cleaner than most hospitals' | 07:29 |
thatgraemeguy | ... operating theatres | 07:29 |
thatgraemeguy | once you open it, game over, throw it away | 07:29 |
Kilos | the cleanliness part i understand yes | 07:29 |
Kilos | same as formula 1 engines | 07:30 |
Kilos | built it totally dust free areas | 07:30 |
mazal | Interesting read that about the SSD lifespan. Some interesting comments as well | 07:30 |
thatgraemeguy | ok so how did you hope to replace a platter then? | 07:30 |
Kilos | in the bathroom after steam has settled | 07:31 |
thatgraemeguy | mazal: we have offered SSD as an option for a good few years now, and I have never had to replace a dead one. On the other hand, there are at least 5-6 HDD failures a month | 07:31 |
thatgraemeguy | lol | 07:32 |
thatgraemeguy | Kilos: for real? | 07:32 |
mazal | Good to know thanx thatgraemeguy | 07:32 |
thatgraemeguy | you say you understand the cleanliness, but i don't think you have any idea, sorry :p | 07:32 |
Kilos | the biggest prob i think will be getting all the spacers and top nut back in exactly the same place because of balancing holes | 07:32 |
thatgraemeguy | you cannot replace a HDD platter. period. the tolerances those things are assembled with you cannot hope to get anywhere near, nevermind the cleanliness factor | 07:33 |
Kilos | ive done a 500g and its been going 2 years now i think | 07:33 |
thatgraemeguy | hah, ok then | 07:33 |
Kilos | there are many sites that show you how to do it | 07:34 |
Kilos | but now using the lappy with the ssd i hardly ever get to the desktop anymore | 07:34 |
Kilos | one must never be afraid to try things | 07:37 |
Kilos | thats how data recovery peeps work. when the mechanical stuff on a drive packs up they put those platters into a new one and charge you 6k | 07:38 |
mazal | Ok here comes trouble , I finished my lunchbox and it's not even 10 yet :P | 07:54 |
mazal | Maaz start making steak boet | 07:54 |
Maaz | mazal: Excuse me? | 07:54 |

mazal | Ai still can't find where psensor startup is | 08:36 |
mazal | It's not in services , it's not in autostart , it's not in ~./kde4/autostart | 08:37 |
mazal | Anywhere else I can look ? | 08:38 |
Kilos | konsole | 08:39 |
Kilos | i think you start and stop it there | 08:39 |
mazal | I want to disable it not to autostart at all | 08:40 |
Kilos | thet remove it | 08:40 |
Kilos | then | 08:40 |
Kilos | aptitude remove psensor | 08:40 |
mazal | Also don't wan to do that , want to use it only when I need it | 08:41 |
Kilos | lol | 08:41 |
mazal | In the app settings itself there isn't a autostart setting either | 08:41 |
Kilos | do you have heating probs | 08:41 |
mazal | Nope | 08:41 |
mazal | Maybe I must just remove it | 08:41 |
Kilos | then why worry about psensor | 08:42 |
chesedo | mazal: try http://askubuntu.com/questions/487920/how-to-control-programs-run-at-startup | 08:42 |
mazal | chesedo: I already been to that same link. It's not in any of those folders mentioned | 08:43 |
mazal | I wonder of a search for psensor.desktop would yield something | 08:44 |
mazal | In one of the links I read autostart files are sometimes .desktop files | 08:44 |
Kilos | look in home | 08:44 |
Kilos | and unhide them | 08:44 |
mazal | Already checked home's autostart , isn't there | 08:45 |
Kilos | then just remove it | 08:45 |
mazal | I think so | 08:45 |
chesedo | mazal: yes, its desktop file has this line `X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=30` | 08:59 |
chesedo | but still not a startup "command" | 09:01 |
mazal | I think that was the last of the unneccesary running stuff. Will see how it goes now | 09:08 |
Xsm | good day everyone | 09:16 |
mazal | Lo Xsm | 09:22 |
Kilos | hi bushtech | 09:24 |

Kilos | you van der merwes when you get cross with one okey fight with eaveryone around you for 3 days | 11:57 |
TheMurdz | Yes, it's only ADSL ready, We don't have anything else on the site but Mobile units. I know we may carry Zyxel somewhere. We just don't show it on the site. | 11:58 |
mazal | Ish | 11:58 |
TheMurdz | But that's about as much as , I last heard, that we had available. | 11:58 |
mazal | Kilos: I ain't fighting man | 11:59 |
Kilos | rofl | 11:59 |
Kilos | see | 11:59 |
mazal | Kilos: So looks like that routers are really out of stock nowehere to be found | 12:00 |
mazal | And the wi-fi ones I can't use , must have ethernet | 12:00 |
Kilos | why must it be that one | 12:00 |
mazal | See above | 12:00 |
mazal | Ethernet | 12:00 |
Kilos | lemme see this one of ians | 12:00 |
mazal | The B series is the only ones I could see that have 4 ethernet ports , that is my need | 12:01 |
Kilos | 4 eth and wifi | 12:01 |
Kilos | d-link 2750-U | 12:02 |
mazal | Is that a mobile router though ? | 12:02 |
Kilos | well | 12:02 |
mazal | That takes mobile sim card I mean | 12:02 |
Kilos | it hasnt got wheels on | 12:02 |
TheMurdz_ | Sorry, DC'd | 12:02 |

mazal | Mine is vodacom dongle | 12:04 |
Kilos | so what | 12:04 |
mazal | Prob won't work with MTN sim | 12:04 |
Kilos | you make it work | 12:04 |
Kilos | you forget i started with a suadi arabian modem here | 12:05 |
Kilos | you unlock them then use any sim | 12:05 |
mazal | Afrihost is MTN mos , so that sim won't work with the Vodacom dongle ten to 1 | 12:05 |
mazal | I wonder of d-link has sim models ? | 12:06 |
Kilos | you got to gsm unlock and give them the imei number and they give you the unlock code | 12:06 |
Kilos | j inetpro has one | 12:07 |
Kilos | or not | 12:07 |
Kilos | i forget now | 12:07 |
mazal | If I could get one of those somewhere , then I can just get the sim and data from Afrihost. Am I correct TheMurdz_ ? | 12:08 |
Kilos | you dont get mtn signal | 12:09 |
TheMurdz_ | Yea, pretty much. | 12:09 |
mazal | Kilos: Terrible signal yes | 12:09 |
Kilos | what sim is in your cell fone | 12:09 |
mazal | But what else is left , no options left to do. Like I said I must then just stick to basics | 12:09 |
mazal | Kilos: Vodacom | 12:09 |
Kilos | is the signal better than mtn | 12:10 |
mazal | I actually don't know | 12:10 |
Kilos | lol | 12:10 |
mazal | Haven't used an MTN in my new flat | 12:10 |
mazal | Might be better | 12:10 |
mazal | At the office is bad | 12:11 |
Kilos | check in flat then decide | 12:11 |
mazal | Where I was all was near unusable , but maybe in this new one is better | 12:11 |
mazal | And it's about 2km difference from where I was , so I dunno | 12:11 |
mazal | Vodacom is just 1 bar signal | 12:12 |
mazal | Can't be worse than that | 12:12 |
Kilos | check before you think about going further with your plans | 12:12 |
Kilos | eish | 12:12 |
mazal | Yeah , not an option for internet at all | 12:12 |
Kilos | is there no one with a telkom mobile sim | 12:13 |
Kilos | try them all then use the best one | 12:13 |
mazal | Yeah that is already tested , like I said that one runs about 4mb speed | 12:13 |

inetpro | today I go sleep earlier | 18:50 |
Wolfeyes | night inetpro lol | 18:50 |
Kilos | tough getting old hey | 18:51 |
Wolfeyes | in ten minutes I will go too | 18:51 |
inetpro | night Wolfeyes | 18:51 |
MaNI | http://www.mini-box.com/M4-ATX < anyone know any local places that sell these things? | 18:51 |
inetpro | Kilos: nee man, was net te laat op in die laaste paar dae | 18:52 |
inetpro | good night everyone | 18:52 |
Kilos | night inetpro sleep lekker | 18:52 |
Wolfeyes | MaNI: not sure if you just want the board but matrix was selling a car power supply for laptops | 18:55 |
Kilos | how much Wolfeyes | 18:58 |
Kilos | oh cigarette lighter plugin | 18:59 |
Wolfeyes | Yeah | 18:59 |
Wolfeyes | they were about 389 | 19:00 |
Kilos | i need one of those all plugs to usa plug adapters | 19:00 |
Kilos | eish | 19:00 |
MaNI | nah, I want an atx power supply, for a laptop its just a simple 12v->19v step up which is much simpler :p | 19:00 |
superfly | MaNI: you could try RS Components | 19:03 |
superfly | But they do more component level stuff | 19:04 |
superfly | I got my RPi through them back in the day | 19:04 |
MaNI | nothing there sadly | 19:04 |
* Wolfeyes pricks my ears | 19:04 | |
Kilos | whew another 45 mins | 19:17 |
Kilos | hi thatgraemeguy standby? | 19:17 |
chesedo | MaNI: you can try Electronics123 if you are in pretoria | 19:20 |
chesedo | Kilos: me active... where, am only doing meetings | 19:21 |
Kilos | what about communica | 19:21 |
chesedo | you the one that is active | 19:21 |
Kilos | no man you help out | 19:21 |
Kilos | dont argue | 19:21 |
chesedo | lol | 19:21 |
Kilos | hi Cryterion | 19:22 |
Cryterion | hi everyone | 19:22 |
Wolfeyes | heya Cryterion | 19:22 |
* chesedo hides... had a bad dream last night about Cryterion | 19:22 | |
Cryterion | MaNI - Have you tried ACDC | 19:22 |
Kilos | lol | 19:22 |
* Cryterion wonders about the dream | 19:22 | |
Wolfeyes | night all | 19:23 |
Cryterion | night Wolfeyes | 19:23 |
Kilos | night boy sleep tight | 19:23 |
Wolfeyes | ty ty | 19:23 |
chesedo | ...was a fanatic shark supporter in it | 19:24 |
Cryterion | lol | 19:24 |
* chesedo still has the chills... or is it cold in prt | 19:25 | |
Cryterion | Cold everywhere atm I think | 19:25 |
Kilos | warmer now | 19:26 |
Kilos | morning was freezing | 19:26 |
Cryterion | will be cold again tomorrow morning | 19:27 |
Kilos | yeah | 19:28 |
Kilos | weather liar also says so | 19:28 |
Kilos | 10°c | 19:28 |
Cryterion | MaNI - ACDC has an adjustable DC-DC converter 10.5-16V Input / 12-24V Adj Ouput List price is R1008 though, part# MSD100-12/24 | 19:31 |
MaNI | yeah, I'm specifically looking for ATX though, which means it provides a whole bunch of voltages not just one | 19:34 |
MaNI | I'm probably going to have to import, was just being hopeful :p | 19:35 |
Cryterion | hmm, would it not just be easier to use an Inverter, convert 12V to a mod sine 220VAC, then feed that directly into a normal atx psu | 19:36 |
Cryterion | that'll be exactly what a normal std ups does | 19:37 |
* chesedo is goes off for the night o/ | 19:38 | |
MaNI | well easier is relative. Would it be easier to buy in south africa, probably. Would it be easier to set up, no actually m ore wiring, but thats insignificant anyway. Would it would be pricier, nosier and less efficient, yes. | 19:38 |
Kilos | night chesedo | 19:40 |
Cryterion | compare costs, shouldn't be much more wiring, extra unit I do agree with an extra plug to worry about, but that should be straight forward. Cost will depend, what does an atx psu cost now R500 if that, depends on wattage, 350W std, fed with a 650VA inverter at R1000. It depends on what a 12VDC input ATX Psu costs | 19:47 |
Cryterion | Noise is already filtered out by std ATX psu, the inverters even though modified sine, aren't generally noisy, not 100% sure what it'll do in running vehicle though. If you went true sine, the output caps would filter any vehicle noise out | 19:50 |
Cryterion | True sine inverters are generally more expensive, due to fact they have the high capacity stabilising capacitors on the output stage, to make the digitised signal an actual sine wave | 19:52 |
MaNI | I mean audible noise not electrical noise | 19:53 |
Cryterion | Otherwise you could always just modify an atx psu to bypass the step-down stage. Your highest voltage available is 12VDC anyway, you have 13.8-15V in a vehicle | 19:54 |
MaNI | anyway I'm pretty sure what I want, I have one already, I was just hoping not to have to import the second time around | 19:55 |
Cryterion | what make and model is it, I'll ask around | 19:55 |
MaNI | mini-box m4-atx, but yeah its pretty niche/specialised stuff - there used to be some mini-box stuff available locally before pi and arduino became the rage | 19:58 |
pavlushka | night guys~! | 20:30 |
Kilos | night all. sleep tight | 20:34 |
