chesedomorning nsnzero paddatrapper and all others06:32
nsnzeroMaaz tell Langjan  he should install system-config-samba which is a gui for samba sharing 06:42
Maaznsnzero: Sure, I'll tell Langjan on freenode06:42
paddatrappermorning chesedo 07:02
chesedonsnzero: i've now also switched to zsh (and oh my zsh)... also found the helpful z plugin in the process07:03
nsnzerohi paddatrapper chesedo 07:04
nsnzerochesedo: zsh is a more productive shell especially with auto completion - imho that is07:09
* paddatrapper is seriously tempted to switch to zsh07:10
nsnzerochesedo: i also have a very customised prompt - its 3 lines and uses powerline fonts which allow graphics in the terminal to abit 07:11
nsnzeropaddatrapper: you can try it out without losing bash 07:11
paddatrappernsnzero: I know. I've used it once or twice before. It's just the effort of reconrfiguring (i.e anything that requires me working on my pc at the moment) that is holding me back07:13
nsnzeropaddatrapper: i know whats thats like . . . painful 07:22
LangjanHello all09:29
Langjanhi nsnzero 09:29
nsnzerohi Langjan 09:59
LangjanDid you rest well nsnzero? 10:06
Langjankilos sent message to install system-config-samba which I did but it does not launch or show up in any way I can see10:09
nsnzeroLangjan: ok i also sent a similar message 10:14
LangjanOk nsnzero thks but now I'm like the dog who eventually caught the bus - what do I do with it? 10:18
jeritsup everyone10:28
jeritguys, I'd like to spam my website if you don't mind... Have a look please -> http://www.loganyoung.co.za10:29
jeritthoughts and opinions welcome10:29
MaNIGoogle fonts is causing a noticeable slowdown on page load, try to defer it to after load. Your pngs are larger than they need to be, also causing a delay, make use of pngcrush. The PNGs with text in them would be better as SVGs. These generic scrolling pages that everyone is doing are a horrid cliche I hate them, but thats just my personal opinion on those, if it's what your customers are after I suppose it's necessary to have one of 10:47
MaNIthose to appeal to that crowd.10:47
LangjanLooks good jerit, eish! I re-did my site and moved my server to SA just the other day. See what your opposition are doing: https://frikkadel.co.za/ 10:52
LangjanGotta go guys, chat later - have a good day.10:52
nsnzeromy apologies Langjan , busy at work today - hopefully i will catchup with you later in the afternoon10:59
nsnzerojerit: its neat, elegant and  to the point ... good stuff  11:02
jeritthanks nsnzero I'm very happy with it but now I'm trying to come up with a redesign for my mom's site11:04
jeritI don't wanna do the same design with different content though11:04
chesedojerit: it is nicely done... for increased load time i would suggest the same as MaNI as well as looking into png sprites to lower request for the twitter and facebook logos, and bundling your css to also lower requests...11:27
chesedovisually, someting might be wrong with your navbar one your lighter pages (like about page) before the scroll swich turns in darker... and the card components might also look better with increased padding...11:29
chesedoother than that, i'm somewhat jealous of the visual quality and disappointed in seeing .NET words :P11:31
jeritcard components? The rows of blocks?11:37
nsnzerojerit: i get an Awww Snap error on the contact us page - using qupzilla web browser 11:44
jeritgetting the same in chrome11:44
jeritits HTTP 50011:45
jeritshould probably fix that priority11:45
chesedojerit: yes the row with blocks (its css has something with card)12:08
* chesedo is not familiar with material12:08
jeritI figured out that HTTP 500... I forgot to move an outdated reference on the page to a model which I'd removed... oops12:17

LangjanHello all, you ok Kilos? Thks for the message  17:55
LangjanHi nsnzero 17:56
nsnzerogood evening Langjan 17:56
Kilosok ty Langjan 17:59
Kiloshows you17:59
Kiloswhat message17:59
LangjanFine thks Kilos 18:00
LangjanYou sent a message via maaz for me to install Samba18:01
Langjansystem-config-samba18:02
LangjanIts installed but does not launch and does not seem to do anything?18:02
nsnzeroLangjan: i think that was me . not Kilos 18:03
Kilosgenove=crook18:03
Kilosnot me im innocent18:03
LangjanWell then it must have been nsnzero because he said he had also sent that message but maaz said it was from Kilos ? 18:04
LangjanDo bots also tell tales?18:04
LangjanAnyway its installed nsnzero, is there something else/more that I should know?18:06
Kilosmaaz is drunk again18:06
Langjanai!18:07
nsnzeroLangjan: system-config-samba doesnt work anymore so you can remove it 18:07
nlsthznlol18:07
LangjanOK so thats why 18:07
LangjanThought I was dom18:08
Langjanlmga18:08
nsnzerothe reason that nautilus/memo couldnt set share permission was because you need to run them as root18:08
Langjanoh, ok - can you give me some pointers on how to do that please?18:09
nsnzerogksudo nautilus / nemo -> set sharing folder 18:10
Langjanand then the folder name?18:12
nsnzeroyes - right click and set the sharing options 18:13
Langjanright click where?18:16
LangjanUnhandled error message: Error when getting information for file '/home/jan/sharing': No such file or directory18:18
nsnzerothe second hdd - hard drive you want to share18:19
nsnzeroLangjan: since the HDD is auto-mounted it is owned by root - you will need to create a folder on it and allow read write access to anyone 18:23
LangjanOk nsnzero something happened, let me start up the other computer and see if it works18:26
nsnzerowhen you connect via samba it will ask for user name and password -> use the same username and password you use on the 1st computer 18:27
LangjanSamba? You just said it does not work?18:29
nsnzerosamba works - system-config-samba doesnt work 18:30
nsnzerothere are two different applications 18:31
LangjanOK I have created a folder named TimeshiftJua in the drive and created share facility but it does not show up 18:38
LangjanAm I supposed to be able to open something in Samba? 18:38
smilesamba sucks :|18:39
smilewhen is someone finally going to fix samba?18:39
smile:p18:39
nsnzeroLangjan: how are the computer linked ? 18:39
Kilosyou know oom Langjan 18:39
LangjanVia ethernet cable to the router18:40
nsnzerothere are 2 ways i know of sharing in linux samba and nfs18:40
Kilosall of this would be so much easier if you made that second drive an external then you just plug it in on the pc you need info with18:40
nsnzeroLangjan: is samba or nfs installed on both computers ?18:41
LangjanSamba is, dont know about nfs18:41
nsnzeroif you type smbtree what do you see ?18:43
LangjanSorry I tried to install samba in the other computer yesterday and it keeps showing "waiting to install" 18:45
Langjaninstalling smbtree18:45
nsnzeroLangjan: samba needs to be installed on both in order for the sharing to work 18:47
Langjannsnzero, Samba does not install on the other computer18:48
nsnzerowell we found out why the sharing wasnt working Langjan 18:50
LangjanWell I tried via command line and the output was "Samba is already the newest version"18:51
LangjanNow we know why it did not want to install but strange that it did not show already installed before 18:52
Langjanbut smbtree shows nothing on that computer18:54
nsnzerook samba is installed on both machines 18:54
nsnzerosee if testparm reports any errors18:54
LangjanBoth show, inter alia, WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated and WARNING: The 'netbios name' is too long (max. 15 chars). 18:58
Langjanmap to guest = Bad User18:58
nsnzerook what is the WORKGROUP name for both ?19:02
nsnzeroLangjan: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=215819619:04
LangjanI have sftp running and files shared, but the second drive does not show. My workgroup is jan@jan-ESPRIMO-E5731 and the other is jua@jua-System-Product-Name 19:13
LangjanKilos, I see nsnzero has left us, this is becoming a bit of a nightmare not worth pursuing19:14
LangjanLet me bid you good night, slaap lekker ou vriend.19:16
