Kilosi dunno about 16.04 , im still on 14.0417:41
Kilosinetpro advise17:41
SEptici see 16.04 is long term17:41
Kilosyes as is 14.0417:42
Kilos5 years support17:42
Siceloand 12.04 :p17:42
Sicelo(which i nuked on laptop last week)17:43
Kiloshaha i still run 12.04 on old desktop17:43
Kilosworks well on slower pcs17:43
Siceloold ThinkPad X40 :p ... 1GB RAM, 1.4GHz Pentium M processor17:44
Kiloswhew17:44
Siceloincredibly, latest stable Debian runs awesomely on it 17:45
SEpticimpressive17:45
Sicelobut you won't believe this (at least i couldn't ...)17:45
SiceloGnome 3 seems to be a lesser resource hog than Cinnamon DE (which is used in Mint)17:45
Siceloi practically couldn't do anything on the laptop with Cinnamon .. but Gnome 3 works just fine .. it's slower than XFCE, but definitely useable17:46
Siceloanyway .. i have a problem with gdm3+gnome-shell combination, 17:47
Siceloso currently using lightdm+gnome317:48
SEptichectic17:49
Siceloanyone ever played with the JACK Audio Connection Kit?17:51
SEpticthe big + for mint is for ppl changing from windows, wiped my wife's windows on her laptop (Dell Inspiron 1545) and forced her to use mint with very little moaning17:51
SEpticnope17:51
Kiloshahaha17:51
Siceloi've also got two ex-Windows guys that I introduced to Linux .. pointed them to Mint too. They are happy about it too17:52
Siceloah yes .. meant to ask this:17:53
Sicelohttps://www.isignite.co.za/wizard/BusinessRisk/Products?tab=%23CloudServer   <== do you know any better deal than this?17:53
Siceloi want just a basic site/blog and i don't expect a lot of traffic17:53
Sicelomust be local17:54
inetproKilos: sorry I was on the phone18:03
Kilosnp18:03
Kilosyou like scrolling back far18:03
Kiloshehe18:03
nsnzeroi use mint too - on another laptop - this 1 is KDE18:05
Sicelonever used KDE, although i've heard good things about it18:07
SEptici alway have a good laugh to myself when theres that communal office sigh about end of day windows upgrades18:07
nsnzerohi Slcelo - mint made me change to linux but KDE made me stay18:08
SEpticlol nice18:09
Sicelo:)18:09
Kiloshehe18:10
Sicelotbh, i spend a lot of my time in a terminal ... can't say that either Gnome or KDE affects my use case much18:10
Sicelowill test KDE one of these days soon however18:10
nsnzeroSEptic: windows 10 upgrades brings my office network to a stand still - i just disable the upgrader 18:10
Sicelonsnzero: WSUS :)18:11
Siceloor whatever it's called nowadays18:11
SEpticja look, since the whole pushy win10 update story, not interested in running that as my main OS18:13
nsnzeroSicelo: there is a a version of mint with the KDE Desktop - try it out . it uses KDE 4 which is stable and mature 18:14
SEpticyes, have to run VMs for proprietary software, but my main OS is mint on SSD 18:14
SEpticaah ok cool will check18:14
SEpticboot time is mental18:15
Sicelonsnzero: will just install kde on top of this ;)18:15
nsnzerothat works too18:16
Sicelojessie seems to have 4.11 .. i guess should be good enought18:17
nsnzeroms is good at marketing - but win10 it not wining the hearts of all 18:18
SEptic... and those useless tiles18:19
SEptic*puts head in hands*18:19
nsnzeroyou can always test KDE Plasma in a VM - its not stable or mature enough for me to recommend - use it just for the challenge of it  18:20
SEpticyea, dl'ing a bunch of .iso18:21
Siceloi've read aobut Plasma too .. aiui it was at least touch-screen focused?18:21
captineevening all18:22
nsnzeroSicelo: i dont recall but i guess touch is the new in thing 18:23
Kiloshi captine 18:23
nsnzerogood evening captine18:23
Sicelohi hi captine 18:24
nsnzeroKilos: how you feeling ?18:24
Kiloshehe with my hands18:24
Siceloyes nsnzero .. i read about it while comparing window managers suitable for tablet us. apparently plasma was making very good progress18:24
Kilosactually flu is improving ty18:24
nsnzeroSicelo: while touch looks good (and awesome in the movies) i really not a fan - have a wndows 8 touch tablet lying around somewhere - it never impress me other than the marketing hype 18:27
Sicelobut if you chroot a linux distro in your android phone for example .. a touch-optimized WM helps18:28
Siceloparticularly as capacitive touch panels took over the accurate resistive panels of yester-year. unless you pay for some expensive 'modern' stylus/pen18:30
nsnzeroSicelo: thats true 18:32
Sicelojust looked at the meeting agenda ... 18:33
Sicelodoes ubuntu-za sometimes organize events?18:34
Kilosyes when someone has time18:34
Sicelowhere could i see some past events? and past meeting minutes?18:35
Kilosinetpro ^^18:36
Kilossuperfly ^^18:36
Siceloah .. got the past minutes 18:36
Sicelowill try to be here for the next meeting as audience :)18:39
SEptici'm using hexchat atm, better recommended irc clients?18:39
Kilosyou are welcome18:39
Kiloson kde?18:39
Kiloshexchat is good for gnomd18:39
Kilose18:39
SiceloSEptic: irssi :p18:40
SEpticmint18:40
Kiloshexchat is fine imo18:40
SEpticah ok cool18:40
Kilosirssi is hard work18:40
Kilosfor me anyway18:40
SEptic... just wondering what all the cool kids are using18:41
Kilossome guys use quassel then they can bounce wirh cell as well18:41
Siceloirssi only for me on everything - laptop/pc/cell18:41
SiceloKilos: XChat dead? used to look good last i used it18:42
nsnzerohardcore - konversation on kde 18:42
Kilosun supported last i heard but still works18:43
Sicelosucks .. it seemed a good client. i guess hexchat is a fork?18:43
Sicelomeh ..18:57
Sicelosplit18:57
superflyohi Sicelo18:58
* superfly uses Quassel18:58
superfly(and quasseldroid, and occasionally quassel-webserver)18:59
Sicelosuperfly: ;)18:59
* superfly doesn't know if he qualifies as a cool kid... probably not19:01
SEpticchecking out quassel ...19:16

Sicelookay .. i'll go back to Gnome then :p19:46
Sicelo(if it's unusable, that is)19:46
Kilostry it first though19:46
Kilosat times its worth waiting for19:47
Kilostakes some getting used to19:47

Symmetria;p20:51
Symmetriawho's awake20:51
Sicelome20:52
Sicelonot happy about KDE, lol (from Gnome)20:52
Symmetriaheh, Im sitting here kinda freaked out haha20:52
SiceloSymmetria: any idea how i create/access another workspace in KDE?20:52
Symmetriaso, I knew I had like, a ton of work to complete, Im on a tight deadline, the work requires a crapload of concentration, and I only got 6 hours sleep last night20:53
Symmetriaso at 6am, I get up, I have a cup of coffee20:53
Symmetriaat lunch time, I take 200mgs of provigil (something that was recommended to me and that is avialable in Kenya over the counter)20:53
Siceloaw ..  that seems bad20:53
Symmetriaheh, I've now been working for 18 hours straight, my concentration is totally perfect, and I feel like I just woke up for 12 hours of good sleep20:53
Symmetriaits like... I took 10 cups of coffee and got all the alertness but none of the downsides, its... wierd20:54
Symmetriaand no, no idea on KDE :)20:54
Siceloi feel like i'm back on Windows :-/20:56
SiceloKDE looks good .. no lies20:56
Siceloand i see a few things here and there it does better than Gnome .. but err ...20:56
Sicelonow i have to RTFM before I can use workspaces ... i don't like that .. heck, even win 10 has them now20:57
Symmetrialol, I refuse to use X as a desktop system, heh, purely because of application support20:57
SymmetriaI stick to linux for servers20:57
Symmetriawindows 10 for desktop 20:57
Symmetriaand osx for notebooks 20:57
Symmetria(I'd love to run OSX as primary but osx without apple hardware doesnt work terribly well and I cant get apple hardware big enough to replace my current desktop specs)20:58
Siceloand some of us have no will to pay $$$ to apple anyway20:58
Symmetriaheh for me, I'd pay for it if I could find a machine that could do what my other desktop system can in terms of specs20:59
Symmetrialol, hardware is the one thing I never go cheap on 20:59
Symmetriahttp://server.alstonnetworks.net/photos/IMG_0184.JPG21:00
Symmetriamy office at home ;p21:00
Siceloyou have the money to pay for it .. 21:01
SymmetriaSicelo lol, some of it, the rest I find reasons to make the company pay for ;p21:01
Sicelonice setup there .. what you do with it?21:01
Siceloat least you also have someone to pull strings with, lol ..21:01
SymmetriaSicelo heh, I work for a very large telco/ISP, as group head of strategy21:02
Symmetriaso everything from monitoring the network to network designs to working on 50 routers at once 21:02
Symmetriaheh, also video conferencing and everything else21:02
Sicelookay .. makes sense21:02
Symmetria(you'll notice the cisco telepresence camera on the top of the monitor on the far right)21:02
Symmetriathats a high def VC camera21:02
SymmetriaSicelo lol, the other stuff is mostly disk space - the problems of 2 much bandwidth, it leads to 2 much disk space21:03
Symmetria;p21:03
Sicelo(got workspaces now .. the call them desktops)21:04
Sicelonow, to find focus-follows-mouse21:04
Siceloyou're living the life ;)21:04
Symmetriabtw, the reason I actually came in here, is anyone in here on FTTH 21:04
Symmetriawith proper bandwidth?21:04
SymmetriaI wanna do a speed / transfer test from where I am to someone on one of the FTTH ISP's in ZA21:04
Siceloi think people are sleeping .. i already can't buy an old apple .. so ftth is a dream i won't be realizing anytime soon, lol21:05
SymmetriaLOL, bandwidth for me is the one thing I DON'T pay for at all21:05
Symmetria(and I have stupid amounts of it, haha, especially considering I'm in Kenya)21:05
* Symmetria has 2 x 10G fibers into his house21:06
Symmetrialol21:06
Sicelonice21:09
SymmetriaI'm gonna cry if I ever move back to ZA21:09
Symmetriaand have to go back to like, normal people bandwidth21:10
Symmetriahehe21:10
Siceloi say ZA has quite good b/w ... i come from Swaziland ..21:11
SymmetriaSicelo ZA bandwidth in terms of the rest of the world, and even in terms of the rest of east africa21:11
Symmetriasucks :)21:11
Symmetriabut its all relative21:11
Siceloyou don't want to be in Swaziland .. trust me21:12
Symmetrialol, I know the problems with swazi, I used to supply the bandwidth for the university there21:13
Symmetriaand I saw the costs involved and the tiny amounts21:13
Siceloexactly21:13
Symmetriaheh we supply bandwidth into lesotho, but not swaziland21:14
Symmetriamaybe one day we'll start supplying there as well21:14
Symmetria:P I won't stop until we supply the whole continent hehe21:14
Symmetria(we also just bought out neotel)21:14
Sicelomaybe21:16
SymmetriaNeotel is gonna be a fun project when I start working on that network21:16
Sicelotest21:19
Siceloah .. focus follows mouse done21:19
* Sicelo no longer unhappy about KDE .. just harder to find some of the settings here21:20
Symmetriabtw, whoever designed the cacti database backend21:20
Symmetrianeeds a slap for making it horribly bloody complex 21:20
Sicelodunno it .. 21:22
Sicelothis? http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/html/unix_configure_cacti.html21:23
Symmetriayeah, its a monitoring / graphing tool21:23
Symmetriaexcept, heh, I needed a way to show me information differently so I was accessing the backend database to figure out what RRD's were where and draw my own status page 21:24
* Symmetria just discovered he could run 100gigabit over the same band spacing as a single 10gigabit using alien wave over 600 kilometers21:27
Sicelowhat ISP you're with?21:31
SymmetriaI work for Liquid Telecom group 21:32
Sicelowill check them out tomorrow .. i should be heading for bed soonish21:33
