Kiloswelcome to ubuntu-za04:39
TheMurdzThanks a bunch!04:40
Kilosyou havent been here before hey?04:40
TheMurdzNope, Only started engaging with local communities today.04:41
Kilosgreat you are welcome to hang here 24/704:41
Kilostell us a bit about yourself04:41
Kiloslike where you are and what system you use etc04:42
Kilosyou know who weare hey?04:42
Kiloswe are04:42
TheMurdzAwe, 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
TheMurdzI assume you're all ZA's Ubuntu community ?04:42
Kilosyip thats us04:43
TheMurdzWell I'm based in JHB. I live the early life, usually up already at 5am. Cleaning up Naemon...04:43
Kiloswe invite all linux users and even have the odd windows person here when he needs help migrating to linux04:44
Kiloscool we have quite a few sysadmins here04:44
TheMurdzhahaha, great great. Good morning to the one Windows user wherever he/she roams.04:44

Kiloscool quite a few guys use it04:46
Kilosnow they have direct contact04:47
TheMurdzNice. 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
TheMurdzI'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
Kilosyeah but you could maybe point them to the correct peeps when they have hassles04:48
TheMurdzSure, that's cool with me. You seem like the only one awake so early?04:50
Kilosour fly is most likely half asleep on the train to work04:50

TheMurdzWhat broke now?06:04
Kiloslol06:04
mazalTried installing something small last night at home and failed due to no internet. Searching now for full offline solution for install , none06:04
Kilosoh mazal we looked at that on trello06:05
mazalDeveloper answer: " We live in 21st century and don't care about the minority that don't have internet "06:05
Kilosthere are ways06:05
mazalHe clearly don't live in SA06:05
Kilosinetpro tell him06:05

Kilosai!06:07
Kilosyou and your games06:07
mazalHave nothing else oom06:07
thatgraemeguyto 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 scenario06:07
mazalDon't even have tv06:07
Kilosai!06:07
Kilostold you get your 3g working and chat to us at night man06:08
Kilosforget gaming06:08
Kilosyou missed lots last night06:08
mazalthatgraemeguy: Yeah I can understand that answer. The problem is SA and the dreadful customer service and lack of infrastructure here , not the developer's fault06:08
thatgraemeguyexactly06:09
Kiloshmm... cupasoup lekker in the cold06:09
thatgraemeguyalso the lack of infrastructure is not as widespread even here06:09
thatgraemeguynot saying there isn't a lack in some places but because of vocal minority effect it seems worse than it really is06:09
mazalOom 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
Kiloseish no hot water even06:10
TheMurdzOuch... 06:10
thatgraemeguyno attachments..... time to move somewhere better then :)06:10
mazalKilos: No hot water for a week now yes06:10
Kilosai!06:10
mazalGeaser broke , none in stock to replace06:10
thatgraemeguywhere do you live exactly? :-o06:11
mazalCullinan. Problem with the geyser thing is I live on goverment terrain. That will say it all06:11
mazalI hire a flat with them06:12
mazalSo physical breakdowns on the flats gets repaired at goverment pace06:12
thatgraemeguypopulation 8,69306:12
mazalNah is not really a very small town actually06:12
thatgraemeguyyeah man, you need to move. that place isn't on anyone's priority list sadly06:13
mazalCan't afford it on my salary06:13
thatgraemeguynot with THAT attitude! ;p06:13
mazalCost of living is so high I simply can't afford it , it's a fact06:14
mazalOnly thing is to try and find better work then06:14
thatgraemeguygo for it, apply all over, sounds like you have nothing to lose06:15
mazalWhite male over 40 in SA , with no qualifications , what's te chance06:16
thatgraemeguyI guess with that kind of attitude, then no chance06:16
mazalMe and Barry have a bussness idea though which is much better me thinks06:17
mazalBut we need capital06:17
mazalSomething here that everyone needs and is not here yet , Postnet06:17
TheMurdzomg... Ubuntu and Hyper-V don't like playing along today... tsk tsk 06:25
TheMurdzWell, every day really.06:25
TheMurdzDon'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
TheMurdzThis was the fix, let's see how well it works.06:31

Kilosyou still going slow there07:05
mazalStill looking for what could cause me issues07:05
mazalYep07:05
mazalThing is , once everything is up and running then it's fine. It's the boot , the log-in and opening file manager that has issues07:06
mazalAnd opening an app07:06
mazalOnce the app is open though it works normal07:06
mazalDies kinda sound like HDD doesn't it.07:07

Kilosi can ask my son to stop there on his way past07:18
mazalOh ok , does he live close here ?07:18
Kiloshe travels all over sorting clients07:18
mazalOk will remember that , will give a shout when the next one breaks , my storage one at home is close to breaking07:19
mazalAnd that's a 2tb07:19
Kiloshe is in rustyenburg but travels to places like thabantsimbi at times07:19
mazalAlso only about 3 years old and I can hear it "clanking". Not far from dead07:19
Kilosoh my07:20
Kilosthats bad07:20
mazalYeah , the old smaller drives was much tougher07:20
mazalI have much much older 500gig drives that's still going without issue07:21
Kilosyeah07:21
Kilosnow they making them even larger07:21
mazalBTW , what's the lifetime of the SSD's ? They will have only so many read/writes ?07:21
Kiloshttp://betanews.com/2014/12/05/modern-ssds-can-last-a-lifetime/07:23
Kiloshehe07:23
Kilosthis one im using here was a discard from a windows pc07:24
Kilosworks lekker07:24
Sxuzahey guys :)07:26
Sxuzahttp://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
Kiloshi Sxuza 07:26
Sxuzahey Kilos 07:27
thatgraemeguy<Kilos> i have a 2tb that needs a platter07:27
thatgraemeguyhuh? you want to replace a single platter?07:28
Kilosor both , im not sure if both are bust07:28
thatgraemeguyyou realise you cannot replace a platter?07:28
Kiloswhy?07:29
TheMurdzHeya Sxuza07:29
thatgraemeguybecause the inside of a HDD is cleaner than most hospitals'07:29
thatgraemeguy... operating theatres07:29
thatgraemeguyonce you open it, game over, throw it away07:29
Kilosthe cleanliness part i understand yes07:29
Kilossame as formula 1 engines 07:30
Kilosbuilt it totally dust free areas07:30
mazalInteresting read that about the SSD lifespan. Some interesting comments as well07:30
thatgraemeguyok so how did you hope to replace a platter then?07:30
Kilosin the bathroom after steam has settled07:31
thatgraemeguymazal: 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 month07:31
thatgraemeguylol07:32
thatgraemeguyKilos: for real?07:32
mazalGood to know thanx thatgraemeguy07:32
thatgraemeguyyou say you understand the cleanliness, but i don't think you have any idea, sorry :p07:32
Kilosthe biggest prob i think will be getting all the spacers and top nut back in exactly the same place because of balancing holes07:32
thatgraemeguyyou cannot replace a HDD platter. period. the tolerances those things are assembled with you cannot hope to get anywhere near, nevermind the cleanliness factor07:33
Kilosive done a 500g and its been going 2 years now i think07:33
thatgraemeguyhah, ok then07:33
Kilosthere are many sites that show you how to do it07:34
Kilosbut now using the lappy with the ssd i hardly ever get to the desktop anymore07:34
Kilosone must never be afraid to try things07:37
Kilosthats 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 6k07:38
mazalOk here comes trouble , I finished my lunchbox and it's not even 10 yet :P07:54
mazalMaaz start making steak boet07:54

mazalAnd that while looking for something else :P08:23
Kilosalways08:23
mazalQuestion now is , why couldn't any google answer I could get my hands on point me to that08:23
mazalAi still can't find where psensor startup is08:36
mazalIt's not in services , it's not in autostart , it's not in ~./kde4/autostart08:37
mazalAnywhere else I can look ?08:38
Kiloskonsole08:39
Kilosi think you start and stop it there08:39
mazalI want to disable it not to autostart at all08:40
Kilosthet remove it08:40
Kilosthen08:40
Kilosaptitude remove psensor08:40
mazalAlso don't wan to do that , want to use it only when I need it08:41
Kiloslol08:41
mazalIn the app settings itself there isn't a autostart setting either08:41
Kilosdo you have heating probs08:41
mazalNope08:41
mazalMaybe I must just remove it08:41
Kilosthen why worry about psensor08:42
chesedomazal: try http://askubuntu.com/questions/487920/how-to-control-programs-run-at-startup08:42
mazalchesedo: I already been to that same link. It's not in any of those folders mentioned08:43
mazalI wonder of a search for psensor.desktop would yield something08:44
mazalIn one of the links I read autostart files are sometimes .desktop files08:44
Kiloslook in home08:44
Kilosand unhide them08:44
mazalAlready checked home's autostart , isn't there08:45
Kilosthen just remove it08:45
mazalI think so08:45
chesedomazal: yes, its desktop file has this line `X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=30`08:59
chesedobut still not a startup "command"09:01
mazalI think that was the last of the unneccesary running stuff. Will see how it goes now09:08

mazalIf I have to struggle with bad signal then so be it11:37
mazalWill have to take everything off my network and do just basic stuffs like mail and browsing. But there is no way left11:38
Kilosthey must have routers at the telkom shops man11:39
mazalWell they have 6 days left11:40
Kiloscall a couple of different telkom shops11:40
mazalThen I tear it up in thier face and have a good mind to set fire to it in the shop as well11:40
Kilosmaybe the one you went to didnt like your hair style11:41

KilosMaaz diplomat11:41
MaazA diplomat is a person who can tell others to go to hell in such a nice way that they look forward to the trip11:41

TheMurdzSorry, was AFK11:52
Kilosnp11:52
Kilosmazal praat man11:52
Kiloshi dlPhreak 11:52
mazalTheMurdz: I am looking for info that I can't find on your site11:52
dlPhreakKilos hi11:52
mazalDo you know , the mobile data , does it have double midnight data also , or is it just anytime data ?11:53
TheMurdzSorry, just reading up11:54
TheMurdz@Mazal, The mobile data as far as I know is straight up, so if you have a 3GB package, it's just 3GB, nothing special like the DSL Packages11:54
mazalK thanx11:54
TheMurdzCool11:54
mazalI see you guys also don't have routers11:55
mazalThe B series specifically11:55
Kilosmazal dont fight him he isnt the sales rep11:55
TheMurdzWell, just the Netgear DGN2200 here https://www.afrihost.com/site/hardware/modems_wifi/#?src=website_nav11:55
Kiloslol11:55
TheMurdzloll11:55
mazalKilos: I aint fighting , I am asking info11:56
Kilosim teasing man11:56
Kiloshaha11:56
TheMurdzhehe11:57
mazalTheMurdz: But that one is for ADSL only ? Or am I missing something11:57
Kilosyou van der merwes when you get cross with one okey fight with eaveryone around you for 3 days11:57
TheMurdzYes, 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
mazalIsh11:58
TheMurdzBut that's about as much as , I last heard, that we had available.11:58
mazalKilos: I ain't fighting man11:59
Kilosrofl11:59
Kilossee11:59
mazalKilos: So looks like that routers are really out of stock nowehere to be found12:00
mazalAnd the wi-fi ones I can't use , must have ethernet12:00
Kiloswhy must it be that one12:00
mazalSee above12:00
mazalEthernet12:00
Kiloslemme see this one of ians12:00
mazalThe B series is the only ones I could see that have 4 ethernet ports , that is my need12:01
Kilos4 eth and wifi12:01
Kilosd-link 2750-U12:02
mazalIs that a mobile router though ?12:02
Kiloswell12:02
mazalThat takes mobile sim card I mean12:02
Kilosit hasnt got wheels on12:02
TheMurdz_Sorry, DC'd  12:02
mazalNee man12:02
TheMurdz_Thunderbolt screens...12:03
Kilosyes i run it with my dlink usb dongle12:03
mazalSo no , it can't take a sim12:03
mazalBut can take a 3g dongle12:03
Kilosno you plug in your bongle12:03
Kilosdongle12:03
mazalThat I don't have12:04
Kilosyou do12:04
mazalMine is vodacom dongle12:04
Kilosso what12:04
mazalProb won't work with MTN sim12:04
Kilosyou make it work12:04
Kilosyou forget i started with a suadi arabian modem here12:05
Kilosyou unlock them then use any sim12:05
mazalAfrihost is MTN mos , so that sim won't work with the Vodacom dongle ten to 112:05
mazalI wonder of d-link has sim models ?12:06
Kilosyou got to gsm unlock and give them the imei number and they give you the unlock code12:06
Kilosj inetpro has one12:07
Kilosor not12:07
Kilosi forget now12:07
mazalIf I could get one of those somewhere , then I can just get the sim and data from Afrihost. Am I correct TheMurdz_ ?12:08
Kilosyou dont get mtn signal12:09
TheMurdz_Yea, pretty much. 12:09
mazalKilos: Terrible signal yes12:09
Kiloswhat sim is in your cell fone12:09
mazalBut what else is left , no options left to do. Like I said I must then just stick to basics12:09
mazalKilos: Vodacom12:09
Kilosis the signal better than mtn12:10
mazalI actually don't know12:10
Kiloslol12:10
mazalHaven't used an MTN in my new flat12:10
mazalMight be better12:10
mazalAt the office is bad12:11
Kiloscheck in flat then decide12:11
mazalWhere I was all was near unusable , but maybe in this new one is better12:11
mazalAnd it's about 2km difference from where I was , so I dunno12:11
mazalVodacom is just 1 bar signal12:12
mazalCan't be worse than that12:12
Kiloscheck  before you think about going further with your plans12:12
Kiloseish12:12
mazalYeah , not an option for internet at all12:12
Kilosis there no one with a telkom mobile sim12:13
Kilostry them all then use the best one12:13
mazalYeah that is already tested , like I said that one runs about 4mb speed12:13
mazalThat's one of the reasons I applied for that one12:14
mazalUsed Barry's router to test it12:14
Kiloswhat router has he got12:15
mazalGonna ask around which of my tjommies have MTN. But as far as I remember they all Vodacom12:15
mazalB series12:15
TheMurdz_Meh, I have MTN as well.12:15
mazal592 or 593 , something like that12:15
TheMurdz_(for reasons)12:15

inetprogood night everyone18:52
Kilosnight inetpro sleep lekker18:52
WolfeyesMaNI: not sure if you just want the board but matrix was selling a car power supply for laptops18:55
Kiloshow much Wolfeyes 18:58
Kilosoh cigarette lighter plugin18:59
WolfeyesYeah18:59
Wolfeyesthey were about 389 19:00
Kilosi need one of those all plugs to usa plug adapters19:00
Kiloseish19:00
MaNInah, I want an atx power supply, for a laptop its just a simple 12v->19v step up which is much simpler :p19:00
superflyMaNI: you could try RS Components19:03
superflyBut they do more component level stuff 19:04
superflyI got my RPi through them back in the day 19:04
MaNInothing there sadly19:04
* Wolfeyes pricks my ears19:04
Kiloswhew another 45 mins19:17
Kiloshi thatgraemeguy standby?19:17
chesedoMaNI: you can try Electronics123 if you are in pretoria19:20
chesedoKilos: me active... where, am only doing meetings19:21
Kiloswhat about communica19:21
chesedoyou the one that is active19:21

Kilosdont argue19:21
chesedolol19:21
Kiloshi Cryterion 19:22
Cryterionhi everyone19:22
Wolfeyesheya Cryterion19:22
* chesedo hides... had a bad dream last night about Cryterion19:22
CryterionMaNI - Have you tried ACDC19:22
Kiloslol19:22
* Cryterion wonders about the dream19:22
Wolfeyesnight all19:23
Cryterionnight Wolfeyes19:23
Kilosnight  boy sleep tight19:23
Wolfeyesty ty19:23
chesedo...was a fanatic shark supporter in it19:24
Cryterionlol19:24
* chesedo still has the chills... or is it cold in prt19:25
CryterionCold everywhere atm I think19:25
Kiloswarmer now19:26
Kilosmorning was freezing19:26
Cryterionwill be cold again tomorrow morning19:27
Kilosyeah19:28
Kilosweather liar also says so19:28
Kilos10°c19:28
CryterionMaNI - ACDC has an adjustable DC-DC converter 10.5-16V Input / 12-24V Adj Ouput List price is R1008 though, part# MSD100-12/2419:31
MaNIyeah, I'm specifically looking for ATX though, which means it provides a whole bunch of voltages not just one19:34
MaNII'm probably going to have to import, was just being hopeful :p19:35
Cryterionhmm, 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 psu19:36
Cryterionthat'll be exactly what a normal std ups does19:37
* chesedo is goes off for the night o/19:38
MaNIwell 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
Kilosnight chesedo 19:40
Cryterioncompare 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 costs19:47
CryterionNoise 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 out19:50
CryterionTrue 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 wave19:52
MaNII mean audible noise not electrical noise19:53
CryterionOtherwise 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 vehicle19:54
MaNIanyway I'm pretty sure what I want, I have one already, I was just hoping not to have to import the second time around19:55
Cryterionwhat make and model is it, I'll ask around19:55
MaNImini-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 rage19:58
pavlushkanight guys~!20:30
