| <Bananabob> hi guys- can you tell me what has happened to nz.archive.ubuntu.com I am trying to install mysql and Synaptic tells me the connection has failed | |
| <mattb> hmm, the ape instance seems to be refusing ftp connections atm | |
| <mattb> http seems ok | |
| <mattb> although I notice you're on telstraclear | |
| <mattb> so I guess you're hitting the US instance | |
| <mattb> which seems to be refusing http and ftp! | |
| <Bananabob> is there a way to "drop" the nz archive and get it elsewhere | |
| <mattb> use packages.debian.co.nz/ubuntu | |
| <mattb> for now | |
| <mattb> it's hosted inside Orcon | |
| <Bananabob> ok where do i make the change - i have looked at settings>repositaries but cant see nz.archive listed | |
| <purserj> guys just in case you're interested there are videos now available from LCA http://lca2007.linux.org.au/Programme | |
| <ajmitch> a shame that only a few talks have videos up | |
| <ajmitch> maybe about half | |
| <mattb> Bananabob: edit /etc/apt/sources.list | |
| <purserj> they're working on em :) | |
| <mattb> hmm, someone needs to mirror them all to .nz | |
| * mattb has just about used up all his intl bandwidth this month | |
| <Bananabob> mattb - thanks they seem the packages seem to be downloading no | |
| <Bananabob> no = now | |
| <mattb> :) | |
| <Bananabob> mattb just a thought. I added that debian site as universe - was that right? | |
| <mattb> you should have something like | |
| <mattb> deb http://packages.debian.co.nz/ubuntu edgy main restricted universe multiverse | |
| <mattb> if you've just got universe that's fine | |
| <mattb> it just means you wont get packages from the other sections there | |
| <Bananabob> i put in this line --- deb http://debian.co.nz/ubuntu/ edgy universe | |
| <mattb> so you'll still be trying to fetch any packages from main, restricted or multiverse from somewhere else | |
| <Bananabob> ok i shall change to be for all | |

| <dudanogueira> hello friends! | |
| <dudanogueira> im from brazil, and im just thinking about to live in new zealand to study... probably in july | |
| <dudanogueira> what would you say about your country? :) | |
| <dudanogueira> some one alive here? | |
| <dudanogueira> is there some one alive here? | |
| <ajmitch> really the wrong time of day for people to ask... | |
| <Bnonn_> I'm alive | |
| *** Bnonn_ is now known as Bnonn | |

| <Bnonn> it would be quite disorienting to learn otherwise |
