| <Changlinn> someone from sa should be in tomorrow that could help | |
| <quail> gunny01: i not sure there is any in adelaide | |

| <merlin-linux> i want to get a nice high gain omni directional for my AP | |
| <Changlinn> freenet antennas have them pretty cheap | |
| <Daemon> or you can build a waveguide antenna fairly cheaply | |
| <Changlinn> omni though you don't want a waveguide | |
| <siccness> bowl shane | |
| <siccness> marvellous catch! | |
| <Daemon> waveguide can be omni (in fact they work best) | |
| <Changlinn> you can try and build an omni-whip, but they are hard to get working, mine worked for a while then seemed to stop for no apparent reason | |
| <Daemon> http://www.freenet-antennas.com/v-web/portal/73/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1 | |
| <merlin-linux> i want to annoy the AP that is close to me | |
| <Changlinn> heh | |
| <siccness> 5.8mm of rain in Adelaide since 9am | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: yeah | |
| <siccness> not bad | |
| <merlin-linux> it been a nice steady lot of rain | |
| <siccness> still another 5mil will be nuce | |
| <siccness> nice* | |
| <merlin-linux> it ment to be raining here till monday | |
| <siccness> we got thunderstorms brewin up | |
| <merlin-linux> and if stays steady like today | |
| <Daemon> http://wireless.gumph.org/articles/homemadeomni.html <- another very easy omni | |
| <Changlinn> yeah thats the one I made, it worked pretty well to start with | |
| <merlin-linux> hi romana | |
| <romana> evening:) | |
| <gunny01> why have omni when you can have 13 cantennas? and a bucketful of tasty snacks to boot! | |
| <Daemon> 802.11n with MIMO > multiple antennas for b/g | |
| <MatthewV> grrr! net connection seems to be having trouble with dns lookups | |
| <MatthewV> across the network | |
| <Phlosten> good evening all | |
| <MatthewV> evenin' Phlosten | |
| <Changlinn> evening | |
| <siccness> kfc sucks :\ | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: you have kfc for suppa? | |
| <siccness> yup | |
| <merlin-linux> haha suxorz | |
| <Changlinn> yumm salmonela chicken | |
| <siccness> friday night, couldnt be bothered cooking | |
| <siccness> so figured wed go takeaway | |
| <siccness> some dumbass family member suggested kfc :\ | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: LOL.l I like KFC. What's wrong with KFC/ | |
| <Cyvros> ?* | |
| <siccness> The question should be: What's right about KFC? | |
| <MatthewV> anyone else having dns issues? | |
| <hysterio> MatthewV: what problem you having? | |
| <MatthewV> hysterio, i dont know... most web pages cant be looked up, sometimes some will get through | |
| <MatthewV> i'm htinking isp problem | |
| <hysterio> what dns server you using? | |
| <MatthewV> hysterio, its set auto i think.. just a mo' - its happening on every comptuer on the network | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: Hehehe. | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: I like their chip seasoning. | |
| <hysterio> optus ubuntu file mirror seems to be grinding atm | |
| <hysterio> and no sooner do I whinge than it speeds back up again | |
| <MistaED2> exetel seems glitchy today for me again, going through the infamous optus backbone | |
| <MatthewV> hysterio, whinging isn't fixing anything for me !!! ;) | |
| <hysterio> MistaED2: yeah i keep getting bit by that at work | |
| <MistaED2> MatthewV: optusnet too? | |
| <MistaED2> seriously, the net has been extremely unstable for me for this week | |
| <MistaED2> constant dropouts | |
| <MatthewV> MistaED, no... its southern cross telco.. i imagine that they using some other provider but i dont know what | |
| <Cyvros> What the hell? The GIMP has a template for toilet paper. | |
| * merlin-linux recommends you all churn over to internode :-P | |
| <Cyvros> This is very concerning. | |
| <hysterio> MistaED2: im sending stuff accross optus to exetel fine atm | |
| <MistaED2> hysterio: very lucky | |
| <hysterio> MistaED2: but I have been bit by it before | |
| <MatthewV> hey. if my modem cant ping primary dns server, can i just set the dns on my pc instead? | |
| <MatthewV> !!! going to restart modem.. probably wont be back for a while | |
| <siccness> Does anyone know what this means: "Build an Internet Infrastructure?" | |
| <hysterio> siccness: wrt what? | |
| <siccness> It's on my TAFE class list. We're supposed to Build an Internet Infrastructure, I don't quite understand how you build it :| | |
| <Cyvros> BBL | |
| <hysterio> cya Cyvros | |
| <hysterio> siccness: i didnt know you can have a singular form of an internet infrastructure | |
| <siccness> beats me man, there's a few on this list that make little sense | |
| <hysterio> it probably involves installing windows 2000 | |
| <siccness> Heh | |
| <siccness> Probably involves something like DNS | |
| <siccness> and 'ping' :| | |
| <hysterio> http://www.education.vic.gov.au/tafecourses/search/Courses/Detail.asp?ID=21926 | |
| <hysterio> Plan and design an internet to meet business requirements | |
| <hysterio> you have to make sure you specify enough tubes, cause its not like a trucl | |
| <hysterio> tuck | |
| <hysterio> *truck | |
| <merlin-linux> hysterio: damn you should see the errors on that url | |
| <hysterio> huh? | |
| <siccness> hysterio: sounds like system administration | |
| <MistaED2> is that a winders or leenucks course? | |
| <hysterio> Manage and support the internet. | |
| <siccness> MistaED2: Not sure on that one, but my course at TAFE is both Linux and Windows. | |
| <hysterio> they should really add an 's' to all of them... Manage and support the internets. | |
| <siccness> (and Novell) | |
| <hysterio> siccness: same as when i did it (all those years ago) | |
| <siccness> Such a shitty course. | |
| <hysterio> yeah | |
| <siccness> For the first 6 months of Linux, it was how to type: "cd" "chmod" | |
| <merlin-linux> hysterio: look here >>> http://southernvaleslug.org/img/URL-Screenshot.png | |
| <hysterio> merlin-linux: lol | |
| <siccness> The second 6 months were, how to install software, compile the linux kernel and use administration tools (including log files) | |
| <MistaED2> what a fail | |
| <hysterio> you did kernel compiles? | |
| <siccness> For a 3hr session | |
| <hysterio> merlin-linux: they fail at providing an internet infrastructure | |
| <siccness> hahaaha | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <MistaED2> learn by example ;) | |
| <siccness> 4 people out of 16 successfully passed Linux last year | |
| <siccness> About 3 of those only JUST passed. | |
| <hysterio> siccness: WTF? | |
| <siccness> the other bloke is a champion, his name is siccness. | |
| <MistaED2> "where's the next button??///" | |
| <hysterio> i see the standard hasnt risen at all. | |
| <siccness> hysterio: it'll get worse next year | |
| <siccness> when people decide to learn what an IP is | |
| <hysterio> i thought when i went to uni that the standard would be higher.. for the most part it wasnt | |
| <siccness> no one in my class seems to care | |
| <siccness> they just think the piece of paper at the end of it will get em a job | |
| <hysterio> yeah, they go there for the diploma/degree, not to learn the content | |
| <hysterio> grr another wicket | |
| <siccness> not looking good | |
| <hysterio> cam white in next | |
| <siccness> thing is | |
| <siccness> do you want him to come out blazin | |
| <siccness> or come out and pace himself | |
| <siccness> and go out for 5? | |
| <hysterio> blazing, cause its pretty boring atm | |
| <siccness> gilly should be disappointed with himself | |
| <siccness> for that appauling shot | |
| <hysterio> overconfidence | |
| <siccness> yup | |
| <siccness> hodge is a joke | |
| <hysterio> yeah | |
| <siccness> everytime hes given an oppurtunity | |
| <siccness> he screws himself over | |
| <Changlinn> siccness: you doing tafe network admin diploma? | |
| <siccness> Close | |
| <siccness> Network Engineering Diploma | |
| <siccness> Which no longer exists at Swinburne, it's now a double diploma network admin/sys admin | |
| <hysterio> siccness: whats the difference? | |
| <siccness> hysterio: Beats me. :) | |
| <siccness> Might be the same :) | |
| <siccness> My course we learn useless shit like: MS Office, VB Programming | |
| <hysterio> hasnt changed since i did it then... | |
| <hysterio> except it wasnt VB, it was basic | |
| <hysterio> qbasic | |
| <siccness> We do PHP/SQL and BASH this year | |
| <siccness> Which I'm not looking forward to, because it'll be stupid shit like echo "Hello World!" | |
| <siccness> and reading from the simplest of databases | |
| <hysterio> siccness: you gonna go on to uni or ??/ | |
| <siccness> I expected a challenge, how wrong I was. | |
| <siccness> hysterio: I'm thinking yes. | |
| <siccness> If I get a job offer at the end of this year | |
| <siccness> ill take the job | |
| <siccness> then ill make them pay for courses/certs | |
| <hysterio> good luck ;) | |
| <siccness> Thanks :) | |
| <siccness> if im not offered a job | |
| <siccness> then vicroads still want me | |
| <siccness> for the i.t department (kew) | |
| <hysterio> cool | |
| <erland1> Hello... | |
| <siccness> hey | |
| <erland1> Hi, I looking for a bit of advice... I have very slow internet and want to install inkscape in 6.10 from the Kubuntu 6.10 CD, rather than download it. Can I do this? | |
| <siccness> Is inskape on the CD? | |
| <siccness> along with it's dependancies? | |
| <erland1> Yes, I ran the Kubuntu live CD and you can use inkscape from that... | |
| <siccness> Ok. I'm not entirely sure on the /preferred/ method of installing it from CD, but you should be able to double-click the inskape .deb file and it'll install it | |
| <erland1> Will the dependencies be taken care of doing it that way? | |
| <siccness> If I recall correctly, it should. | |
| <erland1> OK, thanks for your help. Iĺl give it a shot. | |
| <siccness> hysterio: was that an edge? | |
| <siccness> I missed it completely | |
| <siccness> :( | |
| <siccness> Damn it | |
| <MistaED2> we're running out of batsmen :E | |
| <siccness> This is a piss poor effort | |
| <siccness> I know blokes on the beach who'll give England a better run than this | |
| * siccness listens to 11-Robert_Palmer-Johnny_And_Mary.ogg | |
| * MatthewV cant do anything - internet problemS!!!!!! | |
| <frenchninja> booyah | |
| <MatthewV> hi frenchninja | |
| <frenchninja> hey | |
| <merlin-linux> does anyone know the best way to clear laptop screens? | |
| <MatthewV> merlin-linux, clear? | |
| <merlin-linux> clean | |
| <Daemon> water | |
| <merlin-linux> my laptop manual does not say how and i got spots i need to clean off it | |
| <Daemon> and buy yourself a proper cloth | |
| <merlin-linux> proper cloth? | |
| <Daemon> do NOT use metho / window cleaner, you'll strip the protective coating off | |
| <Daemon> yeah, there are proper cloths designed for cleaning monitor screens, they're microfibre etc | |
| <merlin-linux> ok | |
| <Daemon> ones from the supermarkets probably do the same thing | |
| <siccness> I guess you gotta give it to Hussey for taking control | |
| <tuxta> Can anyone tell me, is the Australian Ubuntu Loco team active ? | |
| <tuxta> It been quite some time since my last visit | |
| <Daemon> very | |
| <tuxta> kewl | |
| <tuxta> Im putting together 4 tutorial nights (1 a week for 4 weeks), for people new to linux, and I have decided to use Ubuntu for the distro they learn. | |
| <tuxta> Are there any resources from the lo-co that might help with planning the lessons? | |
| <Daemon> these to publish online or give as a presentation? | |
| <tuxta> Actual, classes, held at a community centre, I have people already signed up | |
| <siccness> Cool | |
| <Daemon> http://ubuntu.org.au/ <- maybe some info there | |
| <tuxta> k | |
| <tuxta> Ill check it out | |
| <siccness> tuxta: Someone in here recently did the same | |
| <Daemon> good to hear, I'm going to be publishing some intro guides online early this year | |
| <Daemon> along with a number of other linux / ubuntu guides | |
| <tuxta> very kewl | |
| <siccness> What needs to be done is a site with all th information | |
| <siccness> rather than 30 different guides at 30 different sites | |
| <tuxta> Yeah, I tried that a while ago, but I have a girly hissy fit, and took my toys and left | |
| <tuxta> Sorry about that | |
| <siccness> for what? | |
| <tuxta> Remember the lo-co doc project? | |
| <siccness> nope | |
| <tuxta> hmm, Ill see if there is any of it left | |
| <Daemon> siccness: which is what I intend to do, have guides starting with the basic and working their way through to advanced | |
| <Daemon> they're not going to be 100% ubuntu specific, but based on where I think it's necessary | |
| <siccness> Yup | |
| <siccness> I started a site awhile ago for such | |
| <siccness> Didn't go far unfortunately. | |
| <tuxta> Seems it is all gone now - Basically I started a page, intended to creat docs for speaches presentations etc. But did not take off- No contributions other tha 1 person | |
| <tuxta> Anyway, thats the past. Ive grown up since then | |
| <siccness> Heh fair enough. | |
| <siccness> If Australia can get 4 runs off 10 balls we get the bonus point :D | |
| <tuxta> siccness: Do you remember who is was that did the Ubuntu presentation? | |
| <siccness> GAME OVER | |
| <siccness> SHIT YEAH! | |
| <siccness> Uhm, nah I can't quite remember, sorry. | |
| <tuxta> I love my new dual core - compiling a kernel -chatting - websurfing, and not missing a beat | |
| * merlin-linux just scarfed down a whooper with cheese and a grilled chicken burger | |
| <siccness> tuxta: heheh | |
| <siccness> what proc? | |
| <siccness> merlin-linux: lol, sounds like hungry jacks | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: yeah | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: better than your kfc | |
| <siccness> Easily. | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <siccness> Dead rat grilled woulda been better than KFC | |
| <merlin-linux> lmao | |
| <tuxta> My proc is dual core turion - 64bit (although running 32 bit os) | |
| <siccness> Nice. | |
| <tuxta> only 512 fsb, but it seems to do the job | |
| <siccness> uhh ? | |
| <tuxta> Front side bus | |
| <siccness> Yes | |
| <siccness> they run at 512? | |
| <tuxta> Hmm, maybe im getting mixed up with ram numbers -heh- Ill have another look | |
| <siccness> I believe you are. | |
| <siccness> 512 l2 cache perhaps? | |
| <tuxta> yes it was the cache that was 512 | |
| <tuxta> hmm, how do I find the fsb ? | |
| <tuxta> cant seem to see and entry in /proc/cpuinfo | |
| <siccness> what turion is it? | |

| <MistaED2> cpu pr0n | |
| <siccness> You have the TL-50 | |
| <tuxta> okay | |
| <tuxta> and what bus speed does the TL-50 have? | |
| <siccness> 1600MHz HT | |
| <tuxta> I thought that was just the hz speed | |
| <siccness> HT replaced FSB | |
| <tuxta> ah | |
| <tuxta> clear | |
| <tuxta> oops wrong window | |
| <tuxta> heh, I hate it when I do that | |
| <tuxta> better switch beryl back on | |
| <tuxta> hmm, maybe when the kernel is finished compiling | |
| <merlin-linux> this my cpuinfo output >>> http://pastebin.ca/321390 | |
| <siccness> I would show off but shes not overclocked atm :P | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: mine not overclocked | |
| <siccness> I know | |
| <tuxta> merlin-linux: seems a huge cache, but slow proc | |
| <siccness> slow? hah! | |
| <siccness> That thing is quick. | |
| <siccness> Clock speed means very little | |
| <tuxta> 800 ? | |
| <siccness> http://pastebin.ca/321394 | |
| <merlin-linux> tuxta: my laptop got a cintrino core duo 1.6GHz in it | |
| <tuxta> So what does cpu MHz : 800.000 mean? | |
| <MistaED2> power saving | |
| <tuxta> ah | |
| <tuxta> forgot | |
| <MistaED2> when you push your machine, try checking it again | |
| <tuxta> I turned my freq scaling off | |
| <tuxta> even when set to "on demand" still did not have the same pick up | |
| <tuxta> I rarley run on battery, so it does not matter to me | |
| <tuxta> Im a real noob when it comes to hardware (as Im sure you can tell) | |
| <merlin-linux> here my laptop running cpuburn-in >>> http://pastebin.ca/321398 | |
| <siccness> merlin-linux: Do you find the large L2 cache helpful, or better yet, useful? | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: yes | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: when doing cpu intensive stuff it helps | |
| <merlin-linux> eg compiling | |
| <MistaED2> or rendering :D | |
| <tuxta> Anyone got an email address for eklbuntu ? | |
| <Daemon> tuxta: have a look under launchpad | |
| <Phlosten> tuxta: or try meldraweb.com | |
| <tuxta> thnx | |
| <merlin-linux> “Fly, you fools!” he cried, and was gone. | |
| <siccness> haha, like 30 aussies layin into the poms | |
| <siccness> on whirlpool | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: you love whingepool | |
| <Tatey> hi guys | |
| <merlin-linux> hiho Tatey | |
| <Tatey> what's up? :) | |
| <MatthewV> hi all, again... | |
| <MatthewV> Tatey, my net connection is not.. | |
| <Tatey> hah, that's no good | |
| <MatthewV> Tatey, no.. i think its actually dns that i'm having issues with.. | |
| <MatthewV> anyone know if there is any possible way to open MS publisher files in ubuntu | |
| <MatthewV> i'm guessing there is not :( | |
| <Tatey> MatthewV: if it is DNS issues, you can easily circumvent that | |
| <MatthewV> Tatey, how.. by manually entering dns? | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: stuffing my beer in a cooler bag | |
| <Tatey> merlin-linux: yes, you can do it with /etc/resolv | |
| <Tatey> err MatthewV sorry :) | |
| <Tatey> what ISP are you with? | |
| <MatthewV> Tatey, thanks.. with southern cross telco.. their website isnt very helpful at all :( | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: hehe | |
| <Tatey> okay, enter this for tour nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf | |
| <Tatey> 203.0.178.191 | |
| <Tatey> that's the DNS server for iiNet | |
| <merlin-linux> damn it is so muggy here | |
| <MatthewV> Tatey, k, thanks.. i'll give that a try | |
| <siccness> yeah muggy here too | |
| <MatthewV> Tatey, :-D | |
| <MatthewV> thanks | |
| <Tatey> working? | |
| <MatthewV> Tatey, yep | |
| <MatthewV> :) | |
| <Tatey> mind you, if you're using DHCP to obtain your IP, next time you reboot, it'll put the DHCP server in there so you'll need to change it again | |
| <MatthewV> Tatey, i'm not, so thats fine | |
| <MatthewV> I had a static ip address using the modem for dns lookup | |
| <MatthewV> (i think) | |
| <Tatey> ahh okay | |
| <MatthewV> Tatey, the web seems to be going faster than ever before... ;) | |
| <merlin-linux> tell you dhcp server what external dns to use | |
| <MatthewV> thanks so much | |
| <MatthewV> merlin-linux, ahh... i'll have to try find that | |
| <siccness> Commonwealth Bank Series Table: Aus (14), Eng (4), NZ (0) | |
| <siccness> Bahaha | |
| <merlin-linux> MatthewV: if your box doing the pppoe connection look here at this file /etc/ppp/resolv.conf | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, can you do me a quick favour? | |
| <siccness> nah | |
| <siccness> :P | |
| <MatthewV> merlin-linux, its not - modem connected to network | |
| <siccness> sure mate, what is it? | |
| <merlin-linux> MatthewV: and put your ISP dns stuff there | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, can you check and see if http://www.matthewv.id.au/ is working? | |
| <MatthewV> thanks a lot.. | |
| <siccness> not working | |
| <merlin-linux> not working here too | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, :( ok, thanks... | |
| <Changlinn> night all | |
| <siccness> night mate | |
| <MatthewV> k guys, thanks.. can you confirm then that http://matthewv.dyndns.org/ is working? that should be... | |
| <siccness> yup | |
| <siccness> that works | |
| <MatthewV> siccness, yeah thought so.. hmm.... | |
| <MatthewV> thanks a lot | |
| <MatthewV> the first is actually just an alias for the second.. so i wonder what's gone wrong... | |
| <merlin-linux> that url is working here | |
| <siccness> http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/gallery/2001/09/13/daniellewin.jpg <--that guy looks like a young Michael Chikalis | |
| <MatthewV> Tatey, that iinet dns server seems to go much faster than my old one - thank you :) | |
| <MatthewV> hi Cyvros | |
| <siccness> Hey Cyvros | |
| <Cyvros> Howdy, MatthewV, siccness. | |
| <merlin-linux> hiho Cyvros | |
| <Cyvros> Hiya, merlin-linux. | |
| <siccness> I might head to bed early tonight :| | |
| <Cyvros> Good God... People greeting me. | |
| * Cyvros is so utterly overjoyed! | |
| * Cyvros wets himself in pleasure. | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: must be really sick if going to bed early, or got no grog | |
| <Cyvros> BBL, tennis. | |
| <siccness> sick, very sick | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: kfc will do that to you | |
| <siccness> thats exactly where the finger is pointed | |
| <merlin-linux> the only time i will eat kfc is if i got paid a million dollars | |
| <siccness> i'd be somewhat reluctant to ever touch the filthy shit again | |
| <siccness> even the beers are struggling to stay down | |
| <siccness> i better be well by tomorrow | |
| <siccness> i got a 21st to go t | |
| <siccness> to | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <siccness> That bar tab is gonna be gone within 2hours is my guess | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: and most of it will be drunken to you | |
| <siccness> me and a mate (mate of mine is crazy) | |
| <siccness> I've never seen his boot without 2 or 3 slabs in it. | |
| <merlin-linux> boot? | |
| <siccness> car boot. | |
| <merlin-linux> ah ok | |
| <Cyvros> It can't be *that* bad. | |
| <merlin-linux> so he drinks and drives | |
| <siccness> Nope. | |
| <Cyvros> We live two minutes away from what has been voted the worst KFC in Victoria. | |
| <Cyvros> Even that isn't so bad. | |
| <siccness> Everywhere he goes, he sleeps in the car. | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: oh hehe | |
| <siccness> Cyvros: Which one is that? | |
| <Tatey> what are you fella's up to? | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: Bell and Albert Streets, Preston. | |
| <Cyvros> Tatey: About to BBL. | |
| <siccness> Tatey: About to bed. | |
| <siccness> Just have to wait 11mins. | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: i am drinking beer and watching varonica mars | |
| <Tatey> VM is a great show | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: yeah :-) | |
| <Tatey> I think I'm going to start a free file hosting service | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: oh | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: it sounds good but becareful of copyright stuff | |
| <Tatey> http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=666336 <--- owned | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: why owned? | |
| <Tatey> merlin-linux: his IT network guy left him, and without any information about the machine | |
| <siccness> Night all | |
| <Tatey> you're going to bed early siccness | |
| <siccness> yea a little under the weather | |
| <siccness> ill prolly be up in 2hrs | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: g'night mate, hope you wake up feeling better | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: but it is rather easy to reset the password tho | |
| <Tatey> true | |
| <merlin-linux> and the way the other guy was explaining how to change the password bit over the top | |
| <merlin-linux> the guy with the last post | |
| <merlin-linux> easiest way is to put the server into recovery mode | |
| <merlin-linux> but i think red hat have a key combo to press as it boots up to change the root password iirc | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: you got to love to the in VM show ubuntu got a mention in a couple episodes | |
| <Tatey> really? | |
| <merlin-linux> yes | |
| <merlin-linux> last season | |
| <MatthewV> night all | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: read here >>> http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2005/04/ubuntu_meets_veronica_mars.html | |
| <Tatey> I recall taht epsidoe | |
| <merlin-linux> :-) | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzebPb60ffQ | |
| <Tatey> haha | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: bring back sweet memories for you? | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <merlin-linux> that ubuntu in VM clip is season 1 episode 11 | |
| <Tatey> yes it does | |
| <merlin-linux> i am going to collect the dvd season sets for VM | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: is it muggy as hell where you are? | |
| <Tatey> nope, and I'm in Brisbane | |
| <Tatey> it's usually very bad | |
| <siccness> Couldn't even last an hour :| | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: it crap weather to be sleeping in here | |
| <siccness> Yup | |
| <Tatey> are you both in Victoira? | |
| <siccness> I'm so tempted to f'off down the street and cool down | |
| <Tatey> Brisbane is usually very bad for humidity, but it's been unusually cool this summer | |
| <siccness> merlin-linux is from S.A | |
| <Tatey> admittedly I also have airconditioning in my room, but I'm reluctant to use it because it cots money | |
| <Tatey> *costs | |
| <siccness> So does using a computer :P | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: i not long turned my a/c back on | |
| <merlin-linux> Tatey: i have to use a/c as i have no choice as it gets damn hot at my end | |
| <Tatey> http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Starship-Enterprise-Out-of-a-Floppy-Disk <-- lol | |
| <siccness> So sad. | |
| <Tatey> I thought it was cool :P | |
| <weiteck> how long does qt usually take to compile? | |
| <siccness> How anyone is supposed to answer that is beyond me | |
| <weiteck> i'm just looking for a ballpark figure | |
| <weiteck> like long, very long, ridiculously long, etc. | |
| <siccness> Ok, between 5 seconds and 24hrs | |
| <weiteck> thanks :x | |
| <siccness> What system you got? | |
| <weiteck> 3ghz, 512mb | |
| <merlin-linux> weiteck: how long is a piece of string | |
| <siccness> what processor exactly? | |
| <weiteck> p4 w/ ht | |
| <siccness> Ok | |
| <weiteck> merlin-linux, depends which string? | |
| <siccness> Well my guess would be between 2hrs-2.5hrs | |
| <weiteck> thanks | |
| <merlin-linux> weiteck: well that how long it going to take to compile | |
| <siccness> weiteck: I'm actually now thinking under 2hrs | |
| <siccness> 1.5 perhaps | |
| <siccness> how long she been goin for now? | |
| <weiteck> a while; i didn't pay much attention to the time | |
| <weiteck> probably about 30 minutes | |
| <siccness> Why are you compiling it anyway? | |
| <weiteck> i need it for the last.fm player | |
| * merlin-linux got resident evil on in the background | |
| <siccness> weiteck: and im assuming that requires a version of qt that isn't available in the repos? | |
| <weiteck> it requires 4.1.x | |
| <weiteck> it probably is available, but having only been using ubuntu since yesterday, i invariably end up doing things to the long and painful way | |
| <siccness> Sounds like you need ge?too :) | |
| <siccness> or some other rediculously stupid distro | |
| <weiteck> why's that? | |
| <merlin-linux> there is qt 4.2 in the ubuntu edgy repos | |
| <merlin-linux> so i can see why you are compiling it | |
| <weiteck> i'm not sure if that's sarcasm or not | |
| <merlin-linux> so sarcasm, just saying | |
| <merlin-linux> s/so/no | |
| <weiteck> which of the libqt4 packages should be installed to solve dependency issues? | |
| <siccness> the ones which are necessary? :) | |
| <quail> in ubuntu dapper there is qt 4.1.2 | |
| <weiteck> yes, but if something just says it requires this or that version of qt, which ones do you install? | |
| <weiteck> i've never touched qt in my life | |
| <merlin-linux> weiteck: sudo apt-get install libqt4 | |
| <merlin-linux> apt-get will install all the deps needed for libqt4 | |
| <weiteck> awesome, thanks | |
| <weiteck> and i should manually at the path to .profiles? | |
| <weiteck> *add | |
| <merlin-linux> the install should take care of all that for you | |
| <merlin-linux> !libqt4 | |
| <weiteck> okay. it's just that qmake couldn't be found when i tried that before | |
| <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libqt4 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | |
| <merlin-linux> !libqt4-core | |
| <merlin-linux> wtf is this bot drunk | |
| <ubotu> libqt4-core: Qt 4 core non-GUI functionality runtime library. In component main, is optional. Version 4.2.0-1ubuntu6 (edgy), package size 1144 kB, installed size 2972 kB | |
| <merlin-linux> wb tuxta | |
| <tuxta> ty | |
| <merlin-linux> weiteck: have you editted your sources.list to have access to all the ubuntu repos | |
| <merlin-linux> weiteck: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | |
| <merlin-linux> and then sudo apt-get update | |
| <merlin-linux> after editing the sources.list file and saving the file | |
| <tuxta> Do you know much about kpkg merlin-linux ? | |
| <merlin-linux> tuxta: no | |
| <tuxta> k | |
| <merlin-linux> besides i have a python script for compile kernel and it uses kpkg | |
| <merlin-linux> compiling | |
| <weiteck> apt-cache is listing the libqt4 packages already | |
| <merlin-linux> weiteck: kewl | |
| <weiteck> are any regulars here from newcastle? | |
| <merlin-linux> weiteck: have a look here for starters >>> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Members | |
| <weiteck> three, sort of | |
| <tuxta> brb | |
| <siccness> hmm | |
| <siccness> i hope im not forced to give a speech at this 21st | |
| <merlin-linux> siccness: hehe | |
| * siccness whistles | |
| <Tatey> oh dear... | |
| <tuxta> well that took longer than expected | |
| <tuxta> who is up at this ungodly hour? from memory quail_linux use to hang out pretty late | |
| <siccness> me | |
| <tuxta> oh and siccness | |
| <siccness> big sicc doesnt sleep | |
| <tuxta> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZmJ63sHoKU | |
| <tuxta> I love this ad | |
| <siccness> http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sleep/sheep/reaction_version5.swf | |
| <tuxta> I got all the sheep, did shoot when they did not run, and averaged 0.2946 second reaction | |
| <tuxta> did not shoot | |
| <siccness> man thats slow | |
| <tuxta> First time dude | |
| <siccness> hehe its addictive | |
| <tuxta> and I was making sure I did not shoot when one did not run | |
| <siccness> yeah | |
| <siccness> otherwise you get a 3sec penalty | |
| <siccness> my avg time: 0.1988 | |
| <tuxta> my best was 0.184 | |
| <siccness> my best was 0.121 (but the rest were shit) | |
| <siccness> wth, i just got a reaction time of: 0.0000 for Sheep 1 | |
| <tuxta> second attempt I improved to 0.2304 | |
| <tuxta> with practice you could get really good | |
| <tuxta> I guess Ill never be good :P | |
| <siccness> I do so well, then accidently press it on the last one | |
| <tuxta> Did you like the ad ? | |
| <siccness> what ad? | |
| <siccness> oh youtube? | |
| <tuxta> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZmJ63sHoKU | |
| <siccness> didnt check it | |
| <siccness> youtube acts retardedly for me atm | |
| <siccness> ill check it tomorrow on dads machine | |
| <tuxta> you need flashplayer 9 | |
| <tuxta> works flawlessly for me | |
| <siccness> yah i got that | |
| <siccness> just youtube is actin up for some reason | |
| <tuxta> try iceweasel | |
| <tuxta> heh, not that it will make any difference at all | |
| <tuxta> just thought I would throw that in | |
| <siccness> heh yeah that wont make any diff :P | |
| <siccness> Ooo new best average :D | |
| <tuxta> are you from new zealand siccness ? | |
| <siccness> aussie mate | |
| <tuxta> oh, just wondering where your sheep fetish comes from | |
| <tuxta> :P | |
| <siccness> har :P | |
| <siccness> http://www.mathsisfun.com/games/reaction-time.html <--another one | |
| <siccness> 0.088 for a reaction time :D | |
| <siccness> yeah this is what life's all about, staying up til stupid times testing reaction times. | |
| <tuxta> avg time 0.24 | |
| <tuxta> heh, this is really living | |
| <siccness> LOL | |
| <tuxta> second go .237 | |
| <tuxta> whats yours ? | |
| <siccness> Sheep Game: 0.1812; Dot Game: 0.189 | |
| <siccness> So pretty similar for both games | |
| <tuxta> okay, Im not playing anymore | |
| <siccness> I reckon if I weren't drunk | |
| <siccness> I'd do better | |
| <tuxta> heh, I was just about to use that as an excuse | |
| <tuxta> but yet again, you were faster | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <siccness> see the thing is.. | |
| <siccness> if you wanna be quick | |
| <siccness> you gotta be relaxed | |
| <siccness> dont get all close to it | |
| <siccness> and bend your index finger a little | |
| <tuxta> Dude, you need to get away from these games for a while | |
| <siccness> new average: 0.175 | |
| <tuxta> try life, it fun sometimes | |
| <siccness> nah man | |
| <siccness> it's 3:30am | |
| <siccness> it's all about pointless flash games | |
| <tuxta> I hear you though! Ive never been beaten in air hockey, and my secret is to fully relax, and not try and follow the puck, I just look at the centre of the table -> I dont even focus, everything is flightly blurred | |
| <siccness> exactly. | |
| <siccness> the more you expect something, the less you focus because you know it's coming | |
| <siccness> it's almost a trick on the mind | |
| <tuxta> yeah, you need to react, not pre-empt | |
| <siccness> (although i could be just talkin bullshit :D) | |
| <tuxta> thats two of use | |
| <tuxta> us | |
| <tuxta> Im drinking stout, so its quite possible | |
| <tuxta> whats your poisen? | |
| <siccness> beer (and a couple of bourbons) | |
| <tuxta> beer? more specific ? | |
| <siccness> VB | |
| <tuxta> ah | |
| <siccness> (although I had a couple of coronas too) | |
| <tuxta> I swear, this is the last kernel I compile for at least 6 months | |
| <tuxta> Im over it | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <tuxta> one small mistake and you just wasted an hour | |
| <siccness> I think this brings me to the question of, what the hell are you compiling? The whole thing? | |
| <tuxta> Heh, lol | |
| <tuxta> well, I did a whole make menuconfig, had a loss of power half way through compiling, and to top it off lost the .config | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <tuxta> so I considered going through it all again, bu then just thought Ill change the major things | |
| <tuxta> hence this huge compilation | |
| <siccness> thats nuts | |
| <tuxta> I just want my heaadphones to work, if the kernel it bloated, so be it | |
| <siccness> what headphones? | |
| <tuxta> the headphone jack for my soundcard is not supported until 2.6.20 | |
| <siccness> so you're compiling that are ya? | |
| <tuxta> Not just the module | |
| <tuxta> because I also needed my wireless card to work | |
| <siccness> ahh | |
| <tuxta> its a broadcom bcm4311, mini pci express | |
| <siccness> im gonna wait till .20 is stable | |
| <siccness> i want sata_nv (with ncq support) | |
| <tuxta> Yeah, I just could not wait any longer, have to due a screen capture tutorial for work | |
| <tuxta> and the headphone jack and microphone fall under the same driver | |
| <siccness> ahh ok | |
| <tuxta> gotta love xvidcap | |
| <tuxta> whoo hoo, its linking now | |
| <tuxta> compilation done | |
| <siccness> nice | |
| <tuxta> yeah, there seems to be a few things in the kernel my laptop probably wont use too much --> like the isdn cards etc | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <siccness> 80% of the kernel is useless to me | |
| <tuxta> at least | |
| <tuxta> do you use an initrd.img ? | |
| <siccness> Depends | |
| <siccness> some kernels i have an initrd image | |
| <tuxta> why ? | |
| <tuxta> usplash ? | |
| <siccness> no reason why | |
| <tuxta> k | |
| <siccness> i dont actually use ubuntu | |
| <siccness> so there's a particular reason | |
| <tuxta> k, what do you use | |
| <siccness> gentoo | |
| <tuxta> ah | |
| <siccness> if i use genkernel | |
| <siccness> it'll automatically do an initrd image | |
| <siccness> if i do it manually then none | |
| <tuxta> whoa, genkernel is almost as bloated as my kernel | |
| <tuxta> heh | |
| <siccness> not necessarily | |
| <siccness> still uses menuconfig | |
| <siccness> just saves me from typin | |
| <tuxta> Oh, when I did a genkernel I just did a generic one | |
| <siccness> Ahh ok | |
| <tuxta> did not know that you could use it with menuconfig | |
| <tuxta> Gentoo can just do everything | |
| <siccness> genkernel --menuconfig all | |
| <tuxta> ah | |
| <tuxta> want to know a secret ? | |
| <siccness> sure | |
| <tuxta> I dont use Ubuntu either | |
| <tuxta> heh | |
| <siccness> Heh | |
| <siccness> What distro? | |
| <tuxta> Debian | |
| <siccness> Nice | |
| <tuxta> Yet we are here in the Ubuntu-au room heh | |
| <tuxta> thats funny | |
| <siccness> A large percentage of people in this room don't use ubuntu primarily | |
| <tuxta> rofl | |
| <tuxta> really? | |
| <siccness> yup | |
| <siccness> but most of us have ubuntu on one of our machines | |
| <tuxta> k | |
| <siccness> but we got people using gentoo, arch, gnewsense, debian | |
| <tuxta> I install Ubuntu or linux mint for other people | |
| <tuxta> My parents are on Ubuntu | |
| <siccness> yea, my old mans box has dapper | |
| <tuxta> Im considering putting in a little more effort and setting people up with Debian testing, that way I dont have to go back and upgrade them every 6 months | |
| <siccness> i'd just give them dapper | |
| <tuxta> Not my idea to upgrade them, they actually are obsessed it seems with having the latest stuff | |
| <siccness> considering it's lts | |
| <siccness> hmm | |
| <tuxta> well actually its only about 5 machines | |
| <tuxta> but still a pain | |
| <siccness> yea | |
| <siccness> upgrading 1 machine is a pain | |
| <tuxta> very true | |
| <tuxta> Im kinda getting over the Ubuntu release cycle | |
| <siccness> a few people have said that | |
| <tuxta> I like the gentoo / debian testing way of continually evolving | |
| <siccness> rolling-release | |
| <siccness> Arch is like that | |
| <tuxta> But the problem is the time it takes to get the first install and everything configured, where as Ubuntu, drop disc in, install run easyubuntu | |
| <tuxta> so I got to weigh up, if the short term pain is worth the long term gain | |
| <siccness> Depends I guess | |
| <tuxta> Have you ever checked out sourcemage ? | |
| <siccness> Nope | |
| <tuxta> k | |
| <tuxta> me neither heh | |
| <siccness> Sounds a little corny :| | |
| <siccness> spell to install | |
| <siccness> dispel to uninstall | |
| <tuxta> I think we need more distro's, there is just not enough choice for newbies | |
| <siccness> cast to install * | |
| <tuxta> yeah | |
| <siccness> There's too many distros :P | |
| <tuxta> But their website says they are better than Gentoo | |
| <siccness> Hahaha | |
| <siccness> "We're better than [Insert Other Distro]" | |
| <tuxta> well Im off for the night, gunna try my new kernel and then go to bed | |
| <tuxta> see you again later | |
| <siccness> Night mate, take care. | |
| <tuxta> good luck with the whole sheep thing | |
| <tuxta> :P | |
| <MatthewV> mornin' all | |
| <maverick> yo, how do i install the w32codecs?? | |
| <TheMuso> maverick: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats should tell you I think. | |
| <maverick> o robbed cant install in on amd64 architecture | |
| <maverick> o nice xmms has mp3 plugin already :D :D | |
