andrewlsdMorning peeps. :-D08:36
Maazandrewlsd: By the way, nsnzero on freenode told me "tell andrewlsd -> Durban Time : Your Time + 2 , lol" 16 hours, 6 minutes and 18 seconds ago08:36
andrewlsdThanks Maaz08:36
* andrewlsd pops in to visit #ubuntu-us-az 09:03
andrewlsdtyping AZ requires real intention. I keep typing ZA.(muscle memory)09:03
nsnzerohi andrewlsd 09:04
andrewlsd\o nsnzero09:05
nsnzerocant download ktorrent cos the ubuntu-za repository is malfunctioning 09:18
* theblazehen wonders why you can't define fallback mirrors for apt09:23
theblazehenYou could probably run a local haproxy / nginx for it09:24
andrewlsdapt-proxy is able to do some URL-equivalence rewriting. but if using https for apt_transport, then not sure if that would still work.09:26
andrewlsds/apt-proxy/apt-cacher-ng/09:28
nsnzerotheblazehen: i think its for security reasons 09:31
nsnzerofree book for those who love the command line http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php09:31
theblazehennsnzero That's what signed packages are for09:31
theblazehenandrewlsd yeah, running apt-cacher-ng at home09:31
theblazehenStill slow to install packages :/ due to storage speed. Takes like 8 min to launch a container, install config management, and have it install my stuff09:32
theblazehenMight be due to the fsync's that apt does from what I read09:32
nsnzerotheblazehen: aaaaaaaah 09:33
nsnzerodoes apt check signature though ?09:33
theblazehenyeah09:33
theblazehenAnd it's a bit of a pita to not check it IIRC09:33
nsnzeroi am looking for a simple qt based email client - kmail not required 09:37
theblazehenKonsole + mutt? /s09:39
theblazehenKonsole + emacs + Gnus?09:40
theblazehenDoes anyone even use the systemd remote stuff? https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sect-Managing_Services_with_systemd-Remote.html10:26
theblazehenApart from possibly journald logging10:26
theblazehenWhich is different10:26
chesedonsnzero: the first four might inspire you -> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?s=email10:34
Kilosguys give me a command to delete a directory off mt desktop please10:35
Kilosrm says its a directory so cant rm it10:36
Kilosmy ssd is full so need to make space quick10:36
Kilosi forgot i wasnt on a large drive and made a /home backup on desktop10:37
theblazehenKilos rm -r10:47
Kilosty10:48
nsnzerothanks chesedo 10:50
nsnzerocant install beause i cant update the repositories - going to reboot10:52
nsnzerono joy - i will try later10:56
nsnzerorr:9 http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease                                   10:57
nsnzero  Cannot initiate the connection to za.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (2c0f:fe40:8001:10::2). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) [IP: 2c0f:fe40:8001:10::2 80]10:57
* chesedo sees nsnzero is lucky enough to be on an IPv6 network11:03
nsnzeromy secret is out 11:08
magespawnwould it make that much of a difference?11:14
nsnzeromagespawn: the ip6 ?11:16
magespawnyup11:19
theblazehennsnzero use archive.ubuntu.com ?11:20
theblazehennsnzero What's your ipv6 address?11:20
theblazehenIs it in the fe80 range?11:21
nsnzeroyip - starts with fe8011:21
Kilosnsnzero maybe symmatria is working on it or upgrading11:22
Kilosuse neology man11:22
Kilossymmetria11:22
theblazehennsnzero That's a auto configured address11:23
theblazehenLink local*11:23
theblazehenSo you won't get an internet connection11:23
theblazehenDisable ipv611:23
nsnzeroit my router giving me a local ip6 address -> NAT11:24
theblazehennsnzero Nope11:26
theblazehenkind of like ipv4's 169.254.0.0/1611:27
theblazehenLAN only, but you're trying to use it for internet11:27
theblazehenUntil we get ipv6 here, gotta disable it :/11:27
* chesedo is under the impression that IPv6 does not use NAT...11:29
theblazehenchesedo it shouldn't, yes11:30
theblazehenhttp://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/ipaddr_nat/configuration/15-mt/nat-15-mt-book/iadnat-mapt.html#concept_68A1CB818D234BC3B3C883BBEFDDC1AC11:33
nsnzeroi have dual addresses ip4 and ip6 11:34
theblazehenhttps://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc590211:35
theblazehennsnzero From your isp? Or just in ifconfig / ip a11:35
chesedonsnzero: so you are tunneling?11:35
* chesedo is off to lunch11:36
nsnzeroexternal is ip4 internal is ip4 and ip6 11:36
theblazehennsnzero So you use ipv6 in your home network?11:36
nsnzeroits also been this way - and i wont touch it as long as it works11:37
theblazehenWell, if you use NDP / RA (not too familiar with ipv6) you wouldn't get a link local address11:37
theblazehenI think?11:38
theblazehenSo, default linux would give you a link local ipv611:38
theblazehenBut for some reason it thinks it has an ipv6 internet connection11:38
theblazehenBrowsers normally handle it fine11:39
andrewlsdnsnzero: I came across a simple QT mail client last week. only does Imap.11:39
theblazehenThey do A and AAAA lookups, and try both, if ipv6 works, yay, otherwise use ipv411:39
andrewlsdnsnzero: http://trojita.flaska.net/11:39
theblazehenSo you should just tell it not to use ipv6 for dns, or just not ipv611:39
andrewlsdnsnzero: via http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02/install-trojita-email-app-ubuntu11:40
andrewlsdsorry nsnzero I didn't see that theblazehen already sent you that.11:41
theblazehenOr get ipv6 via a tunnel broker if you wanna play with ipv6 I suppose11:41
andrewlsdFYI, DSL in ZA pretty much doesn't support ipv611:41
theblazehenandrewlsd yeah, waiting on telkom for it11:41
theblazehenDSLAM needs to support it IIRC11:41
andrewlsdso I do this to avoid paying attention to AAA records: `echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/disable_ipv6`11:42
theblazehenSorry, BRAS I think?11:42
andrewlsdtheblazehen: IIRC yes.11:42
theblazehenYeah, BRAS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband_remote_access_server11:42
andrewlsdalternative version systcl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=111:43
theblazehenAnd throw it in /etc/sysctl.d11:43
andrewlsdtheblazehen: https://bin.snyman.info/mmmmdrt411:44
andrewlsd... useful for containers. so that the container's bridge doesn't support ipv6, so containers tend not to attempt ipv6.  YMMV11:45
theblazehenandrewlsd fyi net.ipv6.conf.all.<stuff>11:46
andrewlsd? theblazehen11:49
theblazehenandrewlsd So you don't need it for each interface afaik11:50
andrewlsdYeah. I was nervous about disabling ipv6 on localhost11:50
andrewlsdapparently it can cause unexpected results. which is why I had _default_ set to 011:50
theblazehenWhat's the worst that can happen? You need to reboot?11:50
theblazehenSays the guy with 60+ days of uptime11:51
nsnzerosorry got busy12:12
nsnzeroandrewlsd: thanks12:18
nsnzeroi will read up on ip6 later - but it works so i wont interfere 12:19
chesedonsnzero: when you read later, you can use 'ping6 2001:4860:4860::8888' to test if it works (it is the ipv6 equiv of ping 8.8.8.8)12:32
nsnzerowill try it chesedo 12:35
nsnzerochat later guys - take care 12:43
andrewlsdciao13:08

theblazehennsnzero Yeah, just watch /var/cache and /var/log18:28
paddatrappernsnzero: Depends what you're doing, but yeah18:28
theblazehenCheck your log rotation settings18:28
nsnzerodf tells me that 13% is already used and this system is 1 week old 18:28
theblazehenConsider using filesystem quotas?18:28
nsnzeroi had quotas installed on the other system but wasnt set up 18:29

chesedoyesterday superfly shared the structure of their meetings over there and it sparked 3 ideas...19:17
chesedoto have a news and/or jobs listings sections?19:18
chesedoto divide these meeting sections to peers?19:18
inetprobye zaki19:19
nsnzerolike sub committees  to report back ?19:19
chesedolike blaze always seems to be in the know on the latest stuff if he would like to share the highlights...19:19
* Kilos pricks ears19:19
theblazehenchesedo sounds good19:20
chesedoand hilton (from sulug) has posted a lot of jobs listing in the past... and then there is also the jobs listings at each's own works that others my find interesting...19:20
paddatrapperchesedo: and the third thing?19:21
williamkDBE has the National Curriculum Statement http://www.education.gov.za/Curriculum/CurriculumAssessmentPolicyStatements(CAPS)/CAPSFET.aspx19:21
chesedopaddatrapper: i went blank :D19:21
williamkWe have to put that into manuals19:21
paddatrapperchesedo: lol :)19:21
Kilosold age19:22
inetpro1. news, 2. jobs and 3. blank 19:22
* Kilos feels good19:22
paddatrapperI like the job listings, I'm not sure how the peers idea would work in practice19:22
inetpronext time fill in the blank 19:23
chesedoeither point one was two things, or there was another...19:23
paddatrappernews is also good :)19:23
Kiloshahaha19:24
chesedoand sounds like theblazehen is up to it...19:24
inetprosuperfly: help 19:24
nsnzeroubuntu 17 beta 1 is released 19:24
superflyinetpro: I have no idea, it was chesedo's ideas, I just shared the logs from the most recent AZLoCo meeting,.19:24
superflychesedo: I also mentioned weekly meetings, but I think that's a bit much for Ubuntu-ZA19:24
chesedopaddatrapper: i can try to reach hilton to discuss his input (or find his methods)...19:25
superflypost on the mailing list?19:25
paddatrapperchesedo: Ok, but in principle I'm game19:25
magespawngood night all19:25
chesedosuperfly: things like news and the positions can became stale in a month so we may have to see about that19:26
nsnzeronight magespawn 19:26
paddatrapperMaybe they should be plugins/knowledge we add to Maaz?19:26
superflymaybe a mini meeting once a week and a maxi meeting once a month? irrunno19:26
superflythat's a lot of work19:27
inetprocould work 19:27
chesedopaddatrapper: the peers idea is like say has a collection of news (that get shared with him) and some else the positions...19:27
paddatrapperchesedo: ah ok19:27
chesedothen they would quickly list them (like events) in the meeting and we move on...19:27

theblazehenchesedo:  yeah19:29
Kiloswb williamk 19:29
inetprosomeone would have to go through the list of news and reduce it to just the top 5 or so 19:29
chesedomaybe biweekly first, to test it and keep the load small19:29

williamkChesedo: did not work out, still trying19:47
chesedowilliamk: what was the software you tried again?19:47
Kilosnight guys . sleep tight19:49
williamkBooktype, I eventually got it working, but on Debian, but could not create PDFs19:49
williamkNight Kilos19:50
williamkPressbooks ( WordPress plugin ) has a pay plugin for creating PDFs, but mow has a free plugin based on mPDF, so am going to try that19:52
chesedowilliamk: ah right... i can try to see if i can get it up on my server during the week19:53
williamkAlso going to try coko.foundation Pubsweet : https://coko.foundation/new-pubsweet-release/19:54
chesedowilliamk: what are the main features you are looking for?19:54
paddatrapperwilliamk: I'm a little hestant about booktype, mainly because I distrust sourcefabric. They abandoned their FLOSS radio scheduling software Airtime in favour of their hosted propriatary version. They can quite easily do the same here...19:55
paddatrapperWhat about LaTeX files in git?19:55
paddatrapperAll depends what you are looking for...19:58
paddatrapperalright I'm off. Night everyone19:58
paddatrapperMaaz: FLOSS Manuals is http://flossmanuals.net/19:58

inetprogood night everybody 19:59
williamkECDL/ICDL Certification : eg.  Using LibreOffice instead of MS Office20:00
chesedowilliamk: by features i mean... allow collaboration... export to pdf...20:00
chesedofor the app to have that is...20:01
williamkYes collaboration20:01
williamkPubsweet is all about creating books/whatever collaboratively20:02
chesedook so far i have: it should be floss, have collaboration and support pdf and possible postscript for the textbook creation20:02
chesedoit seems nice too20:03
williamkhttps://coko.foundation/facilitation/20:03
chesedowilliamk: i might try it first and will let you know20:06
williamkChesedo : Thanks, am also going to try, Will be using MariaDB with PressBooks20:07
