| <Phlosten> woot! i just got me SFD extra Ubuntu cd's | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: :-) | |
| <Phlosten> i have almost 200 cd's now | |
| <pschulz01> Nuts.. I have 170, less those already given away. | |
| <Phlosten> i have recieved 100 + 100 and given some away already | |
| <Phlosten> that is assuming that ShipIt counted them | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: They're pretty spot on. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> anyone got a recomendation between tightVNC, realVNC or another VNC? | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser goes with rea | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> l | |
| <Phlosten> nooo,..not that one | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> o_0 | |
| <Phlosten> ahh, thats why my system was sluggish, forgot I had a Windows session running in vmware :D | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> *lol* | |
| * purserj plans on getting more RAM for his server, so he can run Windows XP for Karin | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser is enjoying lots of ram... apps load quick like | |
| <Phlosten> i love vmware | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> actuaally *opens openoffice* | |
| <Phlosten> KK, what did you have before? what do you have now? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> nice, <5seconds | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Phlosten, had 512, now got 2512 | |
| <Phlosten> sweet | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> * 2600 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> yeh, its a bit different :) | |
| <Phlosten> do you have a 215 spare now? | |
| <Phlosten> 512 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> no, 2x256, 2x1024. all in use | |
| <Phlosten> ah okies | |
| <Phlosten> I have 512, was looking at getting anoth 512 earlier today. need to check what is in there first | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> mm. i decided the first time in 12 months , just as ddr gets expencive was the time to buy ;) | |
| <Phlosten> heh | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hm. i didnt realise how many CPU architectures i had collected. its kinda cool to realise | |
| <Phlosten> i've got a bit of a collection too now | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> cool. what have you got? | |
| <Phlosten> a 386, p100, p166mx, k6-166, k6-2/300, k6-2/500, Athlon 1Ghz, Athlon 1.66Ghz, Duron 1.2Ghz on the way.....not really varying acrh's, but a good selection of x86 | |
| <Phlosten> prob some slot 1's in the shed | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hehe | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i have a dozen or so x86's of various descriptions, and a few totally seperate archs | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> alpha, mips (i think), sparc, [08,88,2,3,4,pentium {1,2,3,4}]86,powerpc (oldworld mac and new), atari, and a few i'm not sure about | |
| <Phlosten> nice | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> perhaps that should be '8086,8088, [2,3,4]86, pentium [1,2,3,4]' to be easier to read :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> its full in here ;) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i think i have an amstrad as well somewhere | |
| <Phlosten> oh dear | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hehe | |
| <Phlosten> i need to create an NTFS partition for vmware to use | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :( | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> oh dear | |
| <Tate> I concur | |
| <Phlosten> it is a little annoying to disconnect reconnect usb flash drives to swap info back and forth | |
| <Phlosten> oh wait, there is that ext3 addon for windows isnt there | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> speaking of anoying | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i hears its crap | |
| <Phlosten> ohj right | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> anoying: plugging a USB STICK into a windows box and being asked to reboot | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> to finish installing hardware | |
| <pschulz01> Kamping_Kaiser: haha.. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> (windows server 2003, for those playing at home) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :P | |
| <Phlosten> KK, yeah it sucks, i was doing something on the wifes windows machine the other day and cracked the shits at that sort of stuff and ended up doing the same in linux much quicker | |
| * pschulz01 my end up having to know more about that beast shortly :-( | |
| <pschulz01> s/my/may/ | |
| <Phlosten> i have vowed to not move beyond win2k | |
| <Phlosten> it shall be the last | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i have the server for tafework | |
| <Tate> I actually think Linux is eaiser to use :P | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> novell.com is crashing firefox, every time :\ | |
| <Tate> Kamping_Kaiser: working fine here | |
| <Tate> I'm using 1.5.0.6 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Tate, i'm on bon echo (i'm asuming your not...). i cant be arsed getting a stacktrace though | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> not yet | |
| <Tate> bon echo? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> firefox 2.0 beta | |
| <Tate> ohh, nice :) | |
| <Tate> what's it like compared to 1.5.x? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> for vaules of nice ;) | |
| <Tate> one of the features I'm looking forward to is a built-in dictionary when you're typing in a form/textarea | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> much less stable :D. stuffs been renamed, its not a revelation that i can see, its just a version bump, plus a few new features | |
| <Tate> nice | |
| <Tate> yea, I probably wont try it until they release the final version | |
| <Tate> I'm not a fan of beta software | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol. whers your sense of fun? i only spent 1 month with screwd fonts because of beta software! | |
| <Tate> Kamping_Kaiser: hah, I have a stable production environment :) | |
| <Tate> if I want to toy around, I'll go play some games or something :P | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <Tate> actually, I'm in the process of building myself a HTPC/File Server | |
| <Tate> that's expensive fun :( | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i dont have a box here running stable software - ubuntu unstalble, debian testing or windows server | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> cool thing though | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> oh, i have a not-sure-if-its-finished-installing novell netware box as well | |
| <Tate> Kamping_Kaiser: I like it how you included Windows Server under your "Unstable" software :P | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :P i had to | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :0 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> * :) | |
| <Phlosten> windows | |
| <Phlosten> windows? unstable? never.... | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> and now a repeatable OO.o crash. not my day is it :/ | |
| <Phlosten> KK, the joy of a stable development environment hey? | |
| <Phlosten> ;) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hehe | |
| <Phlosten> just popped another drive in for the ntfs partition | |
| <elkbuntu> omg omg omg omg omg... smh has made contact | |
| <ajmitch> excellent | |
| <ajmitch> frontpage news time? :) | |
| * elkbuntu whimpers | |
| <Phlosten> go for it! | |
| <elkbuntu> harassing jdub first | |
| <Phlosten> someone needs to get a photo of John Howard with a Ubuntu CD | |
| <pschulz01> Excellent! | |
| <elkbuntu> rofl | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: Who wants an IBM server :-) | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: The Govener General might be easier.. | |
| <Phlosten> indeed | |
| <Phlosten> LA should send his office a copy | |
| <r0wd3> How do I install the lame Codec? | |
| <r0wd3> ?? :( | |
| <siccness> i want an ibm server :) | |
| <Phlosten> for which application? | |
| <purserj> r0wd3, apt-get install liblame should do the trick | |
| <purserj> Phlosten, we'd have to send him a box of all the current major distros | |
| <Phlosten> i might send some CD's to some local polititions | |
| <siccness> yea i mean if they can send us useless pamphlets with a bunch of lies then there shouldnt be a problem with us sending them valuable CDs | |
| <Phlosten> local state member, local federal member (who covers a third of the state) | |
| <siccness> anyways, im off to let the dentist drill my teef! catch | |
| * Phlosten gets out the Ryobi....I'll do it! | |
| <r0wd3> I recall this program that I used when i used ubuntu for the first time, but i have forgotten its name, It lets you install all the codecs and browser plugins etc etc | |
| <r0wd3> Does anyone know what it is called? It would be handy | |
| <Phlosten> easyubuntu | |
| <cafuego> easyubuntu.cafuego.net | |
| <cafuego> The shiny new version! | |
| <Phlosten> indeed | |
| <cafuego> *plug* *plug* | |
| <Phlosten> there is that other one, but cafuego's works a treat | |
| <cafuego> Phlosten: Mine is the other one, wrapped up with a menu entry. | |
| <cafuego> Endorsed by kbrooks, Kamping_kaiser et al ;-) | |
| <Phlosten> wheres a good place for fonts | |
| <cafuego> ~/.fonts normally, otherwise /usr/share/fonts/truetype/local | |
| * cafuego refers you to http://www.cafuego.net/stuff/Font | |
| <Phlosten> umm yeah, thanks | |
| <cafuego> Oh, to get new ones? :-) | |
| <cafuego> www.1001fonts.com has a few | |
| <elkbuntu> Phlosten, enable seveas repository and get ttf-fossfonts :) | |
| <Phlosten> elkbuntu, is that lots of fonts? | |
| <elkbuntu> yes | |
| <cafuego> mirror2.ubuntulinux.nl (that's me too ;-) | |
| <Phlosten> i'm a tight ass and won't pay for them ;) | |
| <cafuego> because it's all about me, today | |
| <cafuego> me | |
| <Phlosten> you | |
| <Phlosten> yes you | |
| * cafuego should actually check how that box is doing for bandwidth | |
| <Phlosten> cafuego, how many fonts are in that package? | |
| <cafuego> no idea, lemme see... | |
| <Phlosten> oh 108 | |
| <Phlosten> it says, in the....description | |
| <Phlosten> duh | |
| <cafuego> cafuego@cappucino:/var/www/seveas.ubuntulinux.nl/html/pool/dapper-seveas/extras | |
| <cafuego> ; tar tfz ttf-fossfonts_0.0.3.tar.gz | grep "/fonts" | wc -l | |
| <cafuego> 109 | |
| <cafuego> Minus the directory entry, that makes 108, indeed. | |
| <Phlosten> now I just need a good program to view/compare them | |
| <elkbuntu> Phlosten, gnome has a font viewer already | |
| <Phlosten> elkbuntu, well there you go...didn't know that was there | |
| <elkbuntu> :) | |
| <elkbuntu> i sort of discovered it when setting up that fonts collection :) | |
| <Phlosten> does it have a menu entry somewhere, rather than right-click opne with | |
| <cafuego> Phlosten: Just double-click 'em. | |
| <Phlosten> doesn't really allow easy browsing having to double-click each one | |
| <Phlosten> i did find a tool on gnomefiles that allows you put view fonts side by side etc and print out copies,..couldn't get it to compile thought | |
| <Phlosten> though | |
| <quail-laptop> afternoon all | |
| <tuppa> morning | |
| <quail-laptop> where are you? | |
| <mtholdenss> creating a 5gb fat 32 drive will enable me to share files between ubuntu and xp? | |
| <Phlosten> yes | |
| <mtholdenss> and thats a reasonable size? | |
| <Phlosten> depends how much you want to share | |
| <Phlosten> thats like a how long is a piece of string argument | |
| <mtholdenss> i think ive managed to work around dual booting | |
| <quail-laptop> hehe philosophy | |
| <mtholdenss> when i tried in the past, i created the ext3 partition already, or maybe a ntfs partition but im just leaving unallocated space then install ubuntu on that | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, i just whacked in a spare 6GB hdd to share between Windows in vmware and Ubuntu, basically the same thing | |
| <mtholdenss> oh k, i fluked dual booting once but yeh ever since that fluke ive had trouble and spending hr on end on forums figuring out whats goin on, im using partition magic by the way | |
| <Phlosten> the GParted LiveCD is also good | |
| <mtholdenss> oh k, yeh i was soo close to switching to ubuntu permanently cause i was able to do audio and video stuff on ubuntu but was way too complicated and took lots of effort so i just stuck to windows... | |
| <mtholdenss> but once i create that 5 gb fat 32 drive is it possible to make it bigger in the future? | |
| <quail-laptop> yes with gpart | |
| <mtholdenss> or within windows in partition magic so the answer to my question would be yes :p | |
| <quail-laptop> just resize the partition if you got the spare hdd space, but you may have to resize another partition smaller to make that one bigger | |
| <mtholdenss> oh k makes sense | |
| * quail-laptop thinks it time for a beer | |
| <mtholdenss> lol its a nice time relaxing on a friday arvo | |
| <quail-laptop> yeah i have been run off my feet today | |
| <mtholdenss> ive noticed that when i have win xp runing the fans seem to be going a lot faster and heating up at times, in ubuntu its not as bad..mmm | |
| <quail-laptop> ah that feels good | |
| <quail-laptop> i had to work on another laptop the same as mine today | |
| <quail-laptop> friend bought the same laptop as me, and it was funny when i turned up with my laptop and he had the same at his place | |
| <mtholdenss> but im guessing he had win xp and u had ubuntu? | |
| <quail-laptop> he done nothing with his laptop as he not wanted to fire it up with xp on it | |
| <quail-laptop> but he got ubuntu on now | |
| <mtholdenss> oh nice, what laptop was it? | |
| <quail-laptop> acer aspire 5601AWLMi | |
| <quail-laptop> Computer: racer-acer | Distro: Ubuntu 6.06 "dapper" | Processor: 2x @ 1.60Ghz | Model: Intel CPU T2050 @ 1.60GHz | Memory: 1001MB Free: 835MB [▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀] | Diskspace: 73.70GB Free: 66.60GB | Video: Intel Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller @ 1280x800 (24 bpp) | Net: Down: 1.08MB Up: 0.17MB | |
| <mtholdenss> oh k, wow how did u do that? | |
| <quail-laptop> it a plugin script for xchat | |
| <mtholdenss> u have to type in a script? | |
| <Phlosten> that bar just showed jibberish here, must be missing a font | |
| <quail-laptop> oh | |
| <mtholdenss> what did u have to type in to do that, cause i may be able to do it on my irc client, its not xchat | |
| <quail-laptop> /sysinfo | |
| <mtholdenss> !sysinfo | |
| <ubotu> sysinfo: Simple GTK program that shows some UNIX/Linux system information. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.1-0ubuntu4 (dapper), package size 93 kB, installed size 508 kB | |
| <mtholdenss> nope script didnt work, ill see if there is a plugin for my mac irc client | |
| <quail-laptop> here to download the script >>> http://southernvaleslug.org/img/sysinfo.py | |
| <quail-laptop> but it is for xchat tho | |
| <mtholdenss> but quail-laptop how did u get 1001 mb of memory? ive got 1000 mb of memory | |
| <mtholdenss> yeh i dont think xchat is ported over to mac | |
| <cafuego> mtholdenss: Bad rounding probably. | |
| <cafuego> mtholdenss: You'll finnd you have 1024Mb | |
| <quail-laptop> yeah it is and it does not take into count what the kernel uses | |
| <cafuego> os[Linux 2.6.15-26-k7 - Debian testing/unstable] up[ 6 hours, 41 minutes] cpu[AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 2800+, 1808.995 MHz (3621.71 bogomips)] mem[ 988.52/1010.40 MB (97.8%)] video[ at 1440x900 (24 bits)] | |
| <mtholdenss> i right click my computer on win xp says i got 2.8 Ghz amd 1.00 Gb of ram | |
| * purserj_freebsd hearts vmware | |
| <quail-laptop> g'day purserj_freebsd | |
| <purserj_freebsd> hey quail-laptop | |
| * mtholdenss is listening to Things We Go Through by Hawk Nelson from Letters To The President | |
| <Phlosten> ick, make it stop | |
| <mtholdenss> make what stop? | |
| <ajmitch> colours, evil scripts, etc | |
| <ajmitch> they're bad & wrong | |
| <cafuego> hi purserj_traitor | |
| <ajmitch> cafuego: harsh :) | |
| * cafuego bows ;-) | |
| <elkbuntu> woohoo.. info sent to SMH/TheAge reporter :D | |
| <cafuego> elkbuntu: info? | |
| <elkbuntu> i barely have a voice, so i've had to do it via email | |
| <elkbuntu> cafuego, i was approached by a reporter wanting to do something on linux | |
| <cafuego> ah ok :-) | |
| <Phlosten> nude shots? | |
| <elkbuntu> jdub has been holding my hand to help me get the right info out for her | |
| <elkbuntu> Phlosten, if they were of me, we'd lose every potential user | |
| <Phlosten> elkbuntu, up for a Microsoft promo? | |
| <elkbuntu> rofl | |
| <cafuego> They had Gates. How could anything be worse? | |
| <ajmitch> cafuego: Ballmer | |
| <cafuego> s/anything/anyone/ | |
| <Phlosten> yes true, I am sure elkbuntu outclassed them by a fair margin | |
| <cafuego> ajmitch: He's a bigger retard, but perhaps arguably prettier ;-) | |
| <ajmitch> cafuego: you've seen him running round the stage screaming "developers! developers!? | |
| <cafuego> ajmitch: No, I was hiding under the table at the time ;-) | |
| <ajmitch> wise move | |
| <ajmitch> sigh | |
| <ajmitch> I need to get this code cleaned | |
| <cafuego> T | |
| * Phlosten hands ajmitch a dustbuster | |
| <ajmitch> Phlosten: it needs more than that | |
| * Phlosten drags out the hoover | |
| <ajmitch> it's code I've written.. | |
| <Phlosten> I bet there is some Vista code that needs a bit of hoovering, to suck out the crap | |
| <Phlosten> they might not be left with much though | |
| <ajmitch> I'm surprised my box is still working properly | |
| <ajmitch> though I shouldn't logout just yet | |
| <ajmitch> argh | |
| <ajmitch> just spotted a bug from earlier | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] 192.43.xxx.xx: elk there? what is the name of your host of the ubuntucounter? | |

| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: how come? | |
| <elkbuntu> no idea, but i havent been able to update the stats without losing stats since the 26th. if you're doing an ubuntu related project, go through devubuntu.com | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: nope, moreso looking for a v cheap backup server | |
| <pschulz01> xice: what do you need? | |
| <elkbuntu> 3ix dont do anything above small hosting packs anyway | |
| <pschulz01> lucychili: Hi there! | |
| <lucychili> hi ps | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: yeh, just need to be able to scp files in more than 1 place | |
| <pschulz01> xice: How big? | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: so u dont recommend 3ix | |
| <elkbuntu> well. they dont do ssh until you're up to like the $5 plan or something like that | |
| <elkbuntu> xice, listen to pschulz01, he's being generous :) | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: pshc only need ssh and ~1GB | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: pschulz, 300MB and ssh would suffice | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: just so i can backup automatically daily in more than 1 place | |
| <mtholdenss> whats shoutbox? | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, a web based client to get in this channel | |
| <quail-laptop> g'day pschulz01 | |

| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: Pholsten cheap, as i dont really need it, say $30/year | |
| <pschulz01> mtholdenss: It helps when your (say) at the airport on a broken wireless accesspoint that blocks IRC. | |
| <quail-laptop> paris hilton a coder? wtf | |
| <mtholdenss> lol | |
| <pschulz01> quail-laptop: I didn't think that was in the links I sent you. | |
| <mtholdenss> thats what i found funny about the article | |
| <Phlosten> xice: i resell the space I have for $30 per year, 400MB disk/ 20GB bandwith | |
| <mtholdenss> u read the article, the quotes from paris make me laugh lol | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: Pholsten, ssh? | |

| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: whats your site | |
| <mtholdenss> pschulz01 what u mean by wireless accesspoint at a airpot blocking IRC | |
| <Phlosten> xice: swinndesign.com.au , not a lot of info there atm. in the process of putting together the other content | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: is the server in australia? | |
| <pschulz01> mtholdenss: I was on my way to NZ earlier in the year.. and the IRC access was blocked. (It's on of the main way that BotNet's operate).. the Eucalypbot was a pleasent alternative. | |
| <Phlosten> xice, no, California | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: ah ok | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: well ill let u know | |
| <Phlosten> xice, yeah, i dunno how the speed will go for you | |

| <Phlosten> not atm | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: hmm, my current host only allows 1ssh entry | |

| <elkbuntu> "Should be on the web on Monday (probably by the afternoon)" | |
| * elkbuntu does the root dance | |
| <Phlosten> woot! | |
| <mtholdenss> what should be on the net? | |
| <elkbuntu> mtholdenss, my interview | |
| <mtholdenss> interview from who? | |
| <elkbuntu> or maybe not interview, im not sure what she's doing with the info | |
| <elkbuntu> mtholdenss, smh/the age reporter lady asked me stuff about ubuntu | |
| <mtholdenss> like? how did she know u used ubuntu or do u like do stuff for ubuntu? | |
| <elkbuntu> mtholdenss, i'm the LoCoTeam Contact. my name is up in big letters on the loco contacts page and iirc on our wiki page | |
| <elkbuntu> Team Contact: MelissaDraper <-- me | |
| <mtholdenss> oh k, and how did the lady find about ubuntu? | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: ah gw Elk | |
| <elkbuntu> mtholdenss, im guessing same way we did ;) | |
| <elkbuntu> xice, i was scared :| | |
| <quail-laptop> pschulz01: barcamp looks kewl | |
| <quail-laptop> pschulz01: you thinking of going | |
| <elkbuntu> hi greebs :) | |
| <mtholdenss> so it should be in the age monday? | |
| <elkbuntu> mtholdenss, as far as i know, only online | |
| <mtholdenss> oh k | |
| <mtholdenss> anyone here have a mac? (sorry to be off topic) | |
| <elkbuntu> poke tate | |
| <elkbuntu> and it's not off topic as such really ;) | |
| <mtholdenss> yeh i guess since there both unix | |
| <elkbuntu> well... there is a mac version of ubuntu ;) | |
| <mtholdenss> yep i know but thers no way thats taking over mac osx, osx is something unique and cool, i have ubuntu on my pc | |
| <quail-laptop> i have seen ubuntu on a mini mac and that kewl | |
| <mtholdenss> yeh the thing i think would be trouble is that if i had ubuntu on my G4 mac i dont think a lot of drivers and especially xgl would be supported...so yeh | |
| <cafuego> mtholdenss: Xgl would run. Maybe not fast. | |
| <cafuego> mtholdenss: I tried it on the iBook here. | |
| <cafuego> mtholdenss: Depends a bit on your gfx card I suppose. | |
| <mtholdenss> how did it run compared to the pc? is it possible to dual boot on mac? i know u can use apples boot camp to boot win xp and osx | |
| <cafuego> mtholdenss: Not on G4s. They need to use yaboot (which works fine). | |
| <cafuego> mtholdenss: It ran ok; but there is for instance no working flash player, no java applet plugin and no video codecs for windows | |
| <mtholdenss> there is a working flash player and java applet plugins u just need to look a touch harder | |
| <cafuego> mtholdenss: There are some that crash a lot. I don't consider that 'working". | |
| <mtholdenss> oh k, well go to the adobe site and download the flash player, works fine | |
| <cafuego> They don't have a powerpc linux flash player. | |
| <mtholdenss> oh | |
| <cafuego> There's gplflash, but that's not very stable. | |
| <Phlosten> we need a BarCamp Sydney! | |
| <cafuego> Same goes for java. The IBM jre has an appletviewer, but it doesn't quit when you quit the browser. | |
| <Eucalyptbot> [Shoutbox] xice: bbl | |
| <mtholdenss> is it easy to mount a fat 32 disk? | |
| <mtholdenss> fat 32 partition | |
| <siccness> yup | |
| <mtholdenss> nice, ok ill ask once ubuntu is up | |
| <siccness> damn dentist has made this tooth more painful then it was before | |
| <mtholdenss> what happened siccness? | |
| <siccness> she did a filling | |
| <siccness> but it hurts | |
| <siccness> its as if the nerve is dying | |
| * elkbuntu dances around still on a high :) | |
| <siccness> reason for such a high? | |
| <mtholdenss> being interviewed | |
| <mtholdenss> by the age | |
| <elkbuntu> yeah | |
| <siccness> date of interview release? | |
| <mtholdenss> monday | |
| <mtholdenss> lol sorry elkbuntu for answering | |
| <siccness> sweet, i get the age for free that day | |
| <elkbuntu> the article will be on smh and age websites on monday | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, afaik only online, not print | |
| <siccness> ah ok | |
| <elkbuntu> although you never know what bridges the gap | |
| <siccness> what the hell is smh? | |
| <elkbuntu> sydney morning herald | |
| <siccness> ahh | |
| <siccness> cool as | |
| <siccness> so did you give me a shoutout? :D | |
| <elkbuntu> if it -is- printed in either of those papers, i'll be pretty annoyed if someone doesnt tell me | |
| <mtholdenss> hey guys im trying to dual boot and i thought about this way so i go to manually edit partition table and thers 20 gig of unallocated space so i click on that then hit forward then forward and says no root file system | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, not quite that sort of interview. she just wanted info, so she asked questions and i replied.. via email :P | |
| <siccness> ahh cool elk | |
| <elkbuntu> the flu stole my voice | |
| <siccness> mtholdenss, on the free space you gotta set a mount point | |
| <siccness> you should really use the following mountpoints: "/" "/home" | |
| <siccness> and one for swap | |
| <siccness> is there an installation guide around to explain this? | |
| <mtholdenss> thers no partitions set up yet for linux, all i got is 20 gigs of unalloated space | |
| <mtholdenss> under the mount points its got /meda/hda1 and /media/hda5 | |
| <siccness> someone else might have to help you, i cant remember the ubuntu installation. If you're using the live-cd installation then it'll crash anyway | |
| <siccness> well it might crash | |
| <mtholdenss> im using the live cd installation | |
| <mtholdenss> i can re-boot and use the other install | |
| <siccness> nah | |
| <siccness> if it crashes it wont cause any harm | |
| <siccness> it'll just require to re-go through the installation steps again | |
| <siccness> i dunno why but a lot of the gui installers on livecds from many distros seem to suck | |
| <mtholdenss> but next to the partitions and mount point its got a box and reformat above, and plus i thought it would be that easy to resize my win xp partition then leave unallocated space then install and done but i must be doing something wrong | |
| <siccness> you should be able to resize your winxp partition, but as I said last night I really don't approve of this | |
| <siccness> Especially with the use of PartitionMagic | |
| <mtholdenss> yeh i remember u saying that but i just wanted to give it a try im at the screen where it has prepare mount points | |
| <Friction> Hey all, just read in the sept issue of APC that you guys are giving away free copies on disc? | |
| <siccness> i recommend having three partitions for linux: one for swap, one for root (mountpoint: /) and one for home (mountpoint: /home) | |
| <siccness> Indeed Friction | |
| <Friction> how do I go about getting one? | |
| <siccness> What city/state are you in? | |
| <Friction> brisbane | |
| <siccness> Ok, well im not entirely sure how you do go about this. There are a number of individuals here from Brisbane who wouldn't mind sending out a copy to you. You can always order them from overseas (for free) via https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ | |
| <siccness> I don't even have a problem mailing it out to you either, (im from melbourne) | |
| <Friction> ill have a look at the site and see | |
| <ctd> the overseas shipping will take a while, though | |
| <Friction> yeah and i dont really want to register an account just to receive a disc | |
| <Friction> anyone here in bris that mail me a copy? | |
| <Friction> i spose anyone in aus will do fine | |
| <cafuego> If we have leftovers after SFD, sure. | |
| <Friction> ok ill try another time, i have to go | |
| <greebs> elkbuntu, heya! | |
| <mtholdenss> yay i got dual boot working, partition magic worked fine | |
| <Phlosten> nice | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser hugs elkbuntu , yay for you | |
| <elkbuntu> :D | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :D | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser hugs | |
| * elkbuntu cuddles | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> woot. were you going to do by voice, or was it meant to be by email? | |
| * purserj marks elkbuntu down as a potential interviewee, now that she has experience | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser pushes elkbuntu forward | |
| <elkbuntu> eeep | |
| <siccness> <mtholdenss> yay i got dual boot working, partition magic worked fine <--one of few :) | |
| <elkbuntu> very few | |
| <siccness> to mount fat32: mount -t fat32 /dev/harddrive /mount/location | |
| <siccness> the last two sections are variables | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> and you can add -o ro if you want | |
| <siccness> ^ | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> (read only) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> or -o rw for read write | |
| <siccness> best to do is type: man mount | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> or mount --help for quick info | |
| <siccness> i swear that this ntfs-3g is fine | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser spots the mount nerds battle | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> awsome :D | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser will try it sometime | |
| <siccness> yah | |
| <siccness> a little slow on writing | |
| <siccness> but so be iut | |
| <siccness> *it | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hey, it works | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> after 10 years ;) | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <siccness> sif ntfs is that old | |
| <siccness> actually, it wouldn't be that far off 10 years :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> came out with NT4 iirc, 1995 | |
| <elkbuntu> so yeah everyone needs to keep an eye on the SMH and Age websites on monday :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> elkbuntu, i cant remember that! email it to me :P | |
| <siccness> did nt4 come out in 1995? | |
| <elkbuntu> Kamping_Kaiser, :P | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> 95 or 96 | |
| <siccness> 1996 NT4 | |
| <siccness> July 29 to be exact | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol. NERD | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :P | |
| <elkbuntu> i'll probably not shut up about it until it happens, so it'll be inground into your brain by the time monday arrives | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> elkbuntu, i have tafe monday. you wont be remembered ;) | |
| <elkbuntu> :( | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :( | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser hugs elkbuntu | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <elkbuntu> rofl | |
| <siccness> well doen Microsoft, well done. | |
| <siccness> another successful $1b spent | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> if they used DI they wouldnt have these issues :) | |

| <siccness> bring back CLI installers | |
| <siccness> forget user friendly | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol. sounds like vista to me ;) | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> or 'next' buttons ;) | |
| <siccness> yeah what the hell is with next buttons | |
| <elkbuntu> or deafen you with obnoxious musics | |
| <siccness> theres like 50 of them | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <siccness> What bugs me the most about Microsoft is that they act as if everyones a dumbass | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> elkbuntu, dont get me started | |
| <elkbuntu> :P | |
| <elkbuntu> i was trying | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :\ | |
| <siccness> Even the Server versions of windows' | |

| <pschulz01> lucychili: ping? | |
| <siccness> i hate bios updates, my cpu used to be 31c, now its 43c | |
| <pschulz01> Evening all. | |
| <siccness> Evening mate | |
| <siccness> Love to stay and chat with ya, but the footy is on :) | |
| <siccness> Catcha later guys/girl(s). | |
| <pschulz01> It's on the radio as well! | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <pschulz01> Evening | |
| <shenki> Hello pschulz01 | |
| <purserj> The Department of Communications Information Technology and the Arts (DCITA) has revised the Ministerial ICT advisory board which will now have Microsoft Australia's managing director Steve Vamos as its chairman. | |
| <shenki> oh noes | |
| <pschulz01> purserj: Sate of Fed? | |
| <pschulz01> purserj: State or Fed? | |
| <purserj> Fed, appointed by Coonan | |
| <purserj> http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php?id=559847830&eid=-255 | |
| <shenki> how can that not be a conflict of interests | |
| <pschulz01> *expletive* deleted | |
| <shenki> "uhh, yes, openoffice is nice...but microsoft office is better! why you ask? we'll, because that way we make SHITLOADS OF MONEY FROM YOU" | |
| <shenki> s/we'll/well | |
| <shenki> no, i was right the first time | |
| * shenki goes back to sleep | |
| <shenki> i suck | |
| <shenki> Kamping_Kaiser, are you around? | |
| <pschulz01> Good to see the response from Jon Oxer. | |
| <purserj> yup | |
| <lucychili> Microbits David Raffen was chair of SA ITCouncil. Not sure if he is now. | |
| <mtholdenss> hey guys i successfully dual booted | |
| <mtholdenss> but my volume control isnt working in the panel but it works in totem | |
| <mtholdenss> and whats a good cd burning app under gnome? | |
| <Phlosten> gnomebaker | |
| <lucychili> re ps | |
| <Phlosten> or use the cd burning feature of nautilus | |
| <mtholdenss> ok thanks phlosten, anyone here installed wine? | |
| <purserj> lucychili, what/who was microbits | |
| <Phlosten> installed wine/uninstalled wine, used wmware instead | |
| <mtholdenss> howcome xmms supports mp3 but totem doesnt? | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, xmms has it's own built in decoder iirc | |
| <mtholdenss> so i would have to do totem seprately? | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, and totem uses the gstreamer framework by default and hence needs the gstreamer mp3 codec | |
| <mtholdenss> oh k | |
| * purserj aims to aggravate cafuego more by downloading Solaris | |
| * cafuego already has a solaris cd, so there. | |
| <Phlosten> heh | |
| <cafuego> It _REALLY_ is slowaris, though. | |
| <mtholdenss> solaris another linux distro? | |
| <cafuego> Solaris is Sun's UNIX. | |
| <Phlosten> not Linux | |
| <purserj> mtholdenss, no, Solaris is a Unix | |
| <cafuego> free, open, SLOW | |
| <purserj> Think of them as cousins rather than brothers | |
| <cafuego> Well, it does install in well under 7 hours. | |
| <purserj> what did you install it on? | |
| <Phlosten> speedy gonzales | |
| <cafuego> vmware, admittedly | |
| <cafuego> Stiil, WinXP installs in 30 mins on vmware. | |
| <purserj> hmm, thats what I'm planning on doing with it | |
| <cafuego> purserj: Give it *lots* of ram. | |
| <mtholdenss> whats good about this solaris thing? | |
| <purserj> cafuego, I'm going to go down to the PC markets on Sunday and beef up my box. Only got 512MB | |
| <cafuego> mtholdenss: People get excited about dtrace | |
| <cafuego> mtholdenss: Which is a way of profilign the running OS (seeing what it's up to internally) | |
| <purserj> mtholdenss, Solaris is an enterprise level server Unix. Large chunks of the telecommunications and banking industries rely on it | |
| <cafuego> it arguably has better Java support than Linux. | |
| * cafuego wonders if the ATO software runs on it :-) | |
| <cafuego> purserj: Hmmyeah, that would leave what, 256Mb for solaris? Pushing it.. | |
| * cafuego hugs his 64Mb OpenBSD install | |
| <purserj_freebsd> well I've already got a freebsd install | |
| <cafuego> schmeebsd | |
| <purserj_freebsd> thought I would load up the major nixes and have a play around | |
| * cafuego runs the openbsd vmware as honeypot (the router forwards to it) | |
| <mtholdenss> so really its like a unix base os that cant get viruses or hacked thats why banks and big businesses use it? | |
| <elkbuntu> hahha.. never say something cant get hacked | |
| <cafuego> It can (and does) get hacked | |
| <cafuego> Dunno about viruses. | |
| <cafuego> it has a vendor that can provide support and be sued though. For a long time, Linux didn't ;-) | |
| <Phlosten> just a 'more secure' option | |
| <purserj_freebsd> cafuego: no viruses as such but trojans, man in the middle attacks, rpc vulnerabilities | |
| <cafuego> purserj: Yah, the usual services bugs. | |
| <purserj_freebsd> Phlosten: also one of Solaris's selling points is the big iron Sun can sell with it | |
| <cafuego> purserj: Their multi-opteron boxes probably run Linux very nicely too ;-) | |
| <Phlosten> indeed | |
| <purserj> cafuego, yup, their sparcies do as well :) | |
| <purserj> It would be interesting to see how the IBM PPC boxes perform | |
| * pschulz01 is back | |
| <mtholdenss> howcome my fans are getting quite hot when running ubuntu? | |
| <mtholdenss> like 40 degress | |
| <pschulz01> mtholdenss: You will find that Linux makes better use of the computers processor than other OS, as it is being continually tweeked and improved. | |
| <mtholdenss> oh k well atleast i know its not something else thats heating it up, i may buy a new tower to make it quieter | |
| <pschulz01> mtholdenss: I have seen low end Intel PC seem to work OK under MS Windows, but then randomly freeze under Linux. Leave the side off.. and point a fan at it, and everything continues to work as expected. | |
| <purserj_freebsd> quit | |
| <elkbuntu> hey.. should we have an 'in the press' section on the loco wiki do you think? | |
| <pschulz01> elkbuntu: Yes! | |
| <elkbuntu> where's matt v then? | |
| <mtholdenss> ive got a side fan with lights :p, my side of my tower is clear and got lights inside with a fan on the side... | |
| <Phlosten> a disco with processing ability | |
| <pschulz01> lucychili: ping | |
| <Phlosten> can someone help me with a way to tar only the hidden dirs in my home dir? | |
| <pschulz01> The '.' files? | |
| <Phlosten> yeah | |
| <pschulz01> Looking at 'man tar'.. there is a -T option which allows you to get read the filenames you wan to tar from a file. | |
| <Phlosten> i wanted it to select all .* things, but that just selects everything. i might just do the don't select these option instead | |
| <pschulz01> ls -a | egrep '^[.]' > file_list | |
| <mtholdenss> hey y isnt my volume control working in the panel? | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: you will hav eto edit out '.' and '..' | |
| <mtholdenss> i can control volume in xmms and other media players but yeh volume control in the panel just like buggy and freezes up | |
| <Phlosten> pschulz01, cheers | |
| <Phlosten> whats the ^ do? | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: You can then do something like 'tar czT file_list -f dotfiles.tar.gz' | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: Matches beginning of line | |
| <pschulz01> Phlosten: [.] matches the . (by itself it matches any single character) | |
| <mtholdenss> volume control? | |
| <Phlosten> i really should learn more bash stuff | |
| <elkbuntu> xice or someone care to refresh my memory of where the scan of the apc thing is? | |
| <pschulz01> mtholdenss: You might need to find out what sound card you have and that the audio device is configured correctly. | |
| <cafuego> pschulz01: ^[.][:alnum:] | |
| <mtholdenss> sound is perfect | |
| <pschulz01> mtholdenss: I nobody here knows, ask in the #ubuntu channel, or check the ubuntu forums. | |
| <siccness> just volume control? | |
| <pschulz01> cafuego: Thanks :-) | |
| <mtholdenss> thats the thing, sound is perfect, couldnt complain its just the volume control slider up the top is buggy when using xmms and other media players | |
| <siccness> ohh | |
| <siccness> distortion? | |
| <siccness> yes of course | |
| <cafuego> That won't catch stuff like ._backupfile though | |
| <siccness> mtholdenss: im guessing at about 75% + it becomes distorted? why? no idea | |
| <Phlosten> cafuego, ok, I don't think I have anything in that format | |
| <pschulz01> cafuego: How about ^[.][^.] | |
| <pschulz01> cafuego: That would catch everything except those crazy people who have '..alpha' files... | |
| <mtholdenss> ok its doing that even though im not using any media player, no there isnt any distortion, its fine, its just the slider, i click + or - on volume and just jitters down or up then back to original spot, i then have to drag it and its ok but doesnt make a diff to sound out put | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, that sounds very much like a bug that was around when 6.06 was in devel | |
| <siccness> indeed | |
| <pschulz01> mtholdenss: Have you updated you system yet? | |
| <mtholdenss> like i can control volume from the media player when listening to music but just not the volume control up the top which just worrys me | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, are you using a recent version of Ubuntu | |
| <mtholdenss> yes i have updated my system , first thing i did once i was successful with dual boot | |
| <mtholdenss> im using 6.06.1 | |
| <Phlosten> ok | |
| <Phlosten> one sec | |
| <mtholdenss> 6.06.1 | |
| <siccness> did you end up mounting the fat32 partition succcesfully? | |
| <mtholdenss> yes | |
| <siccness> cool :) | |
| <siccness> just a little note, fat32 has no permissions :) | |
| <mtholdenss> it did it auto, everything was mounted, the win xp partition and my 5gb fat 32 share partition, so yeh all good | |
| <siccness> ah of course, i forgot ubuntu did that :) | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, what sort of sound device is it? | |
| <mtholdenss> umm from my motherboard | |
| <siccness> what motherboard? | |
| <mtholdenss> but i think this has something to do with ubuntu os then the hardware | |
| <mtholdenss> give me a sec ill get the motherboard model | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, does 'lspci' show it up? | |
| <mtholdenss> ispci? | |
| <siccness> type lspci in a terminal window | |
| <Phlosten> type 'lspci' at the terminal | |
| <pschulz01> mtholdenss: also.. in a console.. type 'lspci | grep audio' | |
| <Phlosten> that is a lowercase L | |
| <mtholdenss> the reason i think its ubuntu is cause the sound works fine, that means its not the hardware its ubuntu | |
| <siccness> not necessarily | |
| <Phlosten> should show something like 0000:00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10) | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, ubuntu uses drivers based on your hardware, there might be a hardware specific bug | |
| <mtholdenss> my motherboard is gigabyte 2004 series motherboard | |
| <siccness> I'm assuming that's an Intel board | |
| <mtholdenss> command not found when typing ispci in terminal | |
| <senakay> g'day folks | |
| <mtholdenss> try in console? | |
| <siccness> it's an L | |
| <Phlosten> L | |
| <senakay> damn it's hot! | |
| <siccness> not an i | |
| <mtholdenss> yes thats an intel board | |
| <Phlosten> its a damn L | |
| <Phlosten> lowercase | |
| <mtholdenss> oh soz :p its an intel board | |
| <senakay> no its not! its Lntel | |
| <mtholdenss> ok lspci worked | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <mtholdenss> came up with a lot of stuff | |
| <siccness> ok, type this: lspci | grep audio | |
| <Phlosten> look for Multimedia Audio Controller | |
| <mtholdenss> in terminal or console | |
| <siccness> terminal/console is the same thing | |
| <siccness> just different names | |
| <siccness> also known as command-line as well | |
| <senakay> xterm, shell, prompt | |
| <senakay> hee hee | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <senakay> cool another aussie ubuntu convert | |
| <siccness> I think that magazine article did quite a bit | |
| <senakay> which one? | |
| <mtholdenss> yes i found multimedia audio controller | |
| <Phlosten> the ACP | |
| <purserj> the APC one | |
| <siccness> APC | |
| <Phlosten> APC even | |
| <senakay> mtholdenss: what linux/distro/OS were u using previously? | |
| <senakay> cool thanks guys, i must check it out | |
| <mtholdenss> which article u talking about? | |
| <mtholdenss> i was using win xp and still am, dual booting | |
| <siccness> mtholdenss: copy the exact line that it showed | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, what does that line say | |
| <mtholdenss> ok im on a mac on irc talking to u guys so ill have to log on to xchat on ubuntu to copy it | |
| <mtholdenss> be bac in a sec | |
| <Phlosten> does it have a model number | |
| <Phlosten> a few numbers you can type in | |
| <mtholdenss> ill copy and paste in a sec im just one a seperate machine | |
| <Phlosten> i might try Gentoo | |
| <senakay> tsk tsk tsk james using fbsd! heretic :-) | |
| <senakay> Phlosten how come? | |
| <Phlosten> cause I am bored | |
| <senakay> haha | |
| <Phlosten> in vmware | |
| <purserj> senakay, just wait, I'm setting up Solaris now | |
| <senakay> hahaha | |
| <senakay> hey anyone checked out that new 'live' solaris? | |
| <senakay> belenix or something? | |
| <mt_holden_ss> hey this is mtholdenss on ubuntu | |
| <mt_holden_ss> ill copy and paste what it said | |
| <senakay> its funny because 2 years after continually insisting on debian/ubuntu at my work, it's now finally out of control, ~15 people in different depts running it on their desktops | |
| <purserj> senakay, yup Belenix | |
| <mt_holden_ss> 0000:00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] (rev 01) | |
| <mt_holden_ss> 0000:00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0) | |
| <senakay> any good j? | |
| <mtholdenss> u get that? | |
| <quail-laptop> evening all | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, good | |
| <purserj> never played with it. Will see how Solaris installs first | |
| <senakay> 'eve and a hot one to boot | |
| <mtholdenss> phlosten that tell u anything? | |
| <elkbuntu> matthewv is around somewhere.. | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, it tells me what your sound card is | |
| <mt_holden_ss> this is what it came up when i said this in terminal, lspci | grep audio | |
| <mt_holden_ss> 0000:00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0) | |
| <mtholdenss> so does that help my volume control prob? although really my sound is pefrect except i cant control it from the panel | |
| <elkbuntu> purserj, if you are aware of other press showings of people, could you please add them to the InThePress page on the wiki? | |
| <elkbuntu> and with that, i'm off to bed :) | |
| <purserj> night | |
| <purserj> hmm Solaris uses Grub now | |
| <senakay> mission for tonight: get a googlemap up and one of those pins like on sydneywireless :-) | |
| <senakay> purserj: really! is that opensolaris (10) ? | |
| <purserj> Solaris 10 not Open Solaris | |
| <mtholdenss> phlosten doest that help me with my volume prob? | |
| <senakay> oh, wow using grub | |
| <Phlosten> mtholdenss, dunno, im looking | |
| <mtholdenss> what version of version of grub senakay? | |
| <senakay> wow, escher-irc | |
| <mtholdenss> but didnt u say uve heard of this type of volume bug before? its like it jitters | |
| <mtholdenss> maybe a reboot may solve this... | |
| <Phlosten> maybe | |
| <Phlosten> i've done a good search and can't find any solutions | |
| <senakay> what's the problem? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> shenki, home again | |
| <Phlosten> senakay, flaky sound control with the gnome volume applet | |
| * purserj waits while Solaris installs | |
| <mtholdenss> senakay, my sound is perfect , i can control my sound from media players but not from teh volume control up the top in the panel, like i got + or - and it jitters and doesnt make a affect none of the slider makes an affect | |
| <senakay> wierd | |
| <senakay> stock install of ubuntu | |
| <senakay> ? | |
| <senakay> what ver mtholdenss? | |
| <mtholdenss> 6.06.1 | |
| <senakay> mtholdenss: maybe multiple sound drivers/daemons running? or an irq conflict if its old hardware - its all i can think of.. | |
| <senakay> mtholdenss: if its stock, it would be good if u could paste the problem/bug on http://www.ubuntuforums.org | |
| <mtholdenss> and if i right click the volume bar up the top and hit mute has no affect :p lol | |
| <mtholdenss> confusion | |
| <mtholdenss> im gunna give a reboot ago...and see if thers a diff | |
| <Phlosten> installing Gentoo aint a simple exercise | |
| <mtholdenss> ok volume control fine | |
| <mtholdenss> dont how i did it, i rebooted then i changed the device to control to realtek | |
| <Phlosten> ah okies, a bit of a detection bug | |
| <mtholdenss> sorta i reckon although when i have it volume full it slightly sounds distorted as siccness was saying before...oh well | |
| <Phlosten> yeah, that is pretty normal | |
| <Phlosten> you turn you stereo system right up, it usually distorts too | |
| <mtholdenss> lol i got headphones on lol | |
| <mtholdenss> anyone know much about sharing a wireless net connection to another computer? its very easy to do on win xp... | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> its like sharing any other network connection | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> and no, theres no GUI | |
| <mtholdenss> damm, so how is it done without any gui? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> in a terminal.... | |
| <xice> back | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> wb | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/23 <- basic gateway, the setup is more or less the same for making a simple packat forwarding exercise | |
| <shenki> Hello Kamping_Kaiser , xice | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hi mate | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> you were after me? :) | |
| <shenki> um | |
| <shenki> i believe i asked for you | |
| <shenki> but I have no idea why | |
| <shenki> :S | |
| <quail-laptop> hi shenki | |
| <shenki> gday quail | |
| <xice> supo shenki | |
| <xice> got my SFD Shirt | |
| <quail-laptop> xice: you lucky bugger | |
| <shenki> nice | |
| <xice> but i seem to be working on the 16th | |
| <quail-laptop> xice: do they look good | |
| <xice> open ing it now | |
| <quail-laptop> k | |
| <xice> yep shirts nice, good deep colour too | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser wiats for xice to wash it and go "ak, its shrunk, i can hardly beath" | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser gives gnome.conf tshirt a long hard look | |
| <shenki> :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| * shenki wishes the adelaide linux.conf.au shirts shrank | |
| <quail-laptop> sweet i can't wait to get my 2 SFD shirts | |
| <xice> shenki, heh i went for an M | |
| <xice> elkbuntu, the scan of the APC is on the ubuntu flickr! | |
| <siccness> someone should make some ubuntu-au shirts | |
| <siccness> i'd sport one of them | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, i was thinking about it. but getting a good printer is aparently quite hard | |
| <quail-laptop> ditto | |
| <siccness> hmm | |
| <quail-laptop> i would get a ubuntu-au tshirt | |
| <shenki> depends how many you make | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> I WANT TO DDOS SOMEONE!!!! I WANT! | |
| <siccness> and that cafe express shit sucks | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> *cough* sorry, had to get that off my chest | |
| <shenki> black and white, if you make 50, cost slightly under $13 in adelaide | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, i'm not paying some yank gang to send me shit, i can /make/ shit | |
| <shenki> lol | |
| <siccness> exactly | |
| <siccness> 50*13 tho | |
| <siccness> thats math i cant even do | |
| <quail-laptop> siccness: the ubuntu hooded jumper i got from cafepress was good | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol siccness | |
| <mtholdenss> apc? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> shenki, but what quality | |
| <siccness> yea, the quality on that stuff is poor | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> last years SFD tshirts by lucychili were good. iirc they cost a bit though :| | |
| <shenki> Kamping_Kaiser, quite good quality | |
| <siccness> forget tshirts, a classy shirt is what u want | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, bah, bogan | |
| <shenki> they're the shirts we use for engineering stuff, and they last well | |
| <quail-laptop> lol | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> shenki, sounds pretty good | |
| <lucychili> they cost $2 more than this year before the bulk order. if you do a print run of x000 its cheaper than doing a run of 20 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hi lucychili | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser waves. long time no see | |
| <lucychili> greets | |
| <siccness> EOI needs to be done if its gonna happen | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> eoi? | |
| <siccness> expression of interest | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> cool, a new tli | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> * TLA | |
| <siccness> TLA? :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Three Letter Acronym | |
| <siccness> Totally Lame Abbreviation? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| <siccness> Haha | |
| <siccness> EOI has been around for ages man | |
| <quail-laptop> hehe | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> YAT = Yet Another TLA :P | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hehe | |
| <siccness> when the war is over got to start again :) | |
| <siccness> a bit of cold chisel for ya :) | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser EI's in ubuntu-au tshirts | |
| <mtholdenss> anybody here use xmms to play their cds? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i dont think you can | |
| <siccness> white on black, or black on white? | |
| <praetorian> i use audacious these days | |
| <siccness> yeah xmms is pretty poor | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> xmms rocks | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> mplayer+xmms=multimedia heaven | |
| <siccness> im a man of 'the vlc' | |
| <Phlosten> xmms rocks..the last decade | |
| <mtholdenss> ok lets get it straight, whats the best multimedia app? | |
| <siccness> It's subjective, mtholdenss | |
| <shenki> banshee or rhythmbox | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> very subjective | |
| <mtholdenss> obviously not xmms by the sound of it | |
| <Phlosten> now there is a can o' worms | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :@ | |
| <siccness> heh, KDE vs GNOME :) | |
| <shenki> siccness, I think white shirts - it's more 'ubuntu' | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol, not this early in the evening siccness ;) | |
| <mtholdenss> i use gnome | |
| <siccness> GNOME is what real men use :P | |
| <shenki> we could always have bright orange shirts, like dapper's artwork at one point :P | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> shenki, ubuntu has all colours, not just white :P | |
| * siccness runs for his life | |
| <siccness> lol shenki | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> rofl. | |
| <siccness> brown is the way to go if we're gonna follow the theme | |
| <siccness> but if its brown, i aint buyin it | |
| <shenki> meh, brown == poo | |
| <siccness> i prefer black tshirts to be honest | |
| <shenki> I've got enough black tshirts | |
| <siccness> white t-shirts == too much exposure to whats underneath | |
| <mtholdenss> xgl theme graphix | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, problem is sumer is coming | |
| <siccness> and lets face it, i aint thin | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <siccness> cant expose the man-boobs | |
| <shenki> but, it won't matter what colour the shirts are - the real cost is getting the screen made up | |
| <siccness> i think a simplistic design is the way to go | |
| <siccness> ubuntu logo right-breast with "ubuntu-au" underneath it | |
| <shenki> say, the ubuntu logo?:P | |
| <siccness> and on the back | |
| <siccness> top back have "www.ubuntu.com.au" | |
| <shenki> bye tatey | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> how about the ubuntu-au logo? ;) | |
| <siccness> or whatever the url is | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <siccness> thats always a possibility | |
| <shenki> yeah, I think the ubuntu-au logo - providing we change it to the southerncross logo :P | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <siccness> but the southerncross logo is boring | |
| <shenki> no way | |
| <shenki> it's all kinds of awesome | |
| <siccness> we need tux in it somewhere | |
| <siccness> ill just get my own one made up, tux in a v8 supercar | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, hm. can we get an evil ubertux? | |
| <siccness> with ubuntu on the back | |
| <Phlosten> siccness, doing a burnout on a windows logo | |
| <siccness> rofl yea | |
| <siccness> something with a bit of humour in it is cool | |
| <siccness> as everyone has the boring normal type of tshirts | |
| <Phlosten> i love that freebsd demon and tux roasting windows on the camp fire image | |
| <siccness> haha yeah | |
| <siccness> thats a good one | |
| <siccness> i also like the one with tux suckin the juice out of a windows box :) | |
| <Phlosten> havent seen that one | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, hehe. | |
| <siccness> it's just tux drinking a juice box with a windows logo on it | |
| <Phlosten> ah, maybe i have then | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> mine has 'we suck less' on the bottom. dont know if its offical :0 | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <Phlosten> :) | |
| <siccness> "EXTREME GEEK" haha | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| <siccness> Windows 2000 A/S sucks | |
| <siccness> I hope 2003 Server is better | |
| <purserj> depends on what you term as "better" | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, dependds what you want in 'better' | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> heh. snap | |
| <quail-laptop> yes it sucks better | |
| <siccness> i just want less annoying popups telling me to click next to configure a webserver | |
| <siccness> basically i want httpd.conf :) | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser wonders how to break the news to siccness | |
| <purserj> ah, you configuring IIS? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> its not better ;) | |
| <siccness> was trying to purserj | |
| <siccness> i think ill remove the vmware image of it tho | |
| <siccness> jsut a waste of 10gb atm | |
| <purserj> IIS 5 is "teh sux0r" both config and security | |
| <siccness> Heh | |
| <purserj> IIS 6 uses the same config but is apparantly better from a cracking point of view | |
| <purserj> I believe the next version that comes with Vista is actually going to be using Apache like config files | |
| <siccness> should just come with apache | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> win 2k3 only gives full access if you log in, win 2k asumes you have full accdess if your not loggedc in... someohw thats logical | |
| <siccness> haha | |
| <Phlosten> siccness, yeah right, they will just clone apache and claim apache stole their idea | |
| <siccness> lol, so true | |
| <siccness> i found an old pc of mine the other day | |
| <siccness> booted it up, good ol' windows ME was on there | |
| <purserj> Phlosten, well given they pinched their original TCP/IP stack from BSD it wouldn't surprise me | |
| <siccness> i think it lasted 5mins before it crashed | |
| <Phlosten> siccness, my lord, did you set fire to it? | |
| <siccness> heh, close to it | |
| <Phlosten> sacrificial burning | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hm. | |
| <siccness> Which brings me to a question that I'd like to hear responses to | |
| <Phlosten> be gone evil OS of shame | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i think i have some burned windows cds images here somewhere | |
| <siccness> Out of all the windows operating systems, which do you think is the most successful? | |
| <purserj> Define successful? | |
| <Phlosten> windows 95 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, successfull=xp, best=2k | |
| <Phlosten> *shrug* | |
| <siccness> Stable, secure == successful | |
| <purserj> none then | |
| <siccness> I think I'll have to agree with that actually Kamping_Kaiser | |
| * quail-laptop /dcc send Kaiping_Kaiser a mug of pale ale | |
| <siccness> I'd rather use 2000 Pro over XP | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> agree | |
| <purserj> Seriously if your talking about "number of installs" then I'd go with win98 | |
| <Phlosten> siccness, thats what i do | |
| <quail-laptop> i'd prefer linux over windows | |
| <siccness> probably because it doesnt have lame ass blue themes | |
| <siccness> yea well of course, quail :) | |
| <Phlosten> i bought win95 when it came out, on floppy disk | |
| <Phlosten> that was when I was young and stupid | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hehe | |
| <siccness> windows neptune was pretty good | |
| <siccness> the builds that it lasted | |
| <quail-laptop> Phlosten yeah and there was like 13 diskettes | |
| <siccness> i got a copy of windows neptune build 5111 here actually | |
| <Phlosten> quail, it was a bastard | |
| <quail-laptop> Phlosten yeah it was | |
| <Phlosten> i won a copy of novell office too. it was 32 floppy disks | |
| <quail-laptop> lol | |
| <Phlosten> that was even more of a bastard | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <siccness> i had an old modem/fax software | |
| <siccness> 40 disks | |
| <siccness> took like 3hrs to install | |
| <Phlosten> load the disk, walk away, make coffee, return, swap disk, repeat | |
| <quail-laptop> ah you got to love the day of floppies | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <elkbuntu> xice, i found it eventually :) | |
| <elkbuntu> and back here cos i cant get to sleep | |
| <siccness> funny how we're still forced to use floppies | |
| <siccness> only way id flash my bios is with a floppy | |
| <Phlosten> finish the install, realise something went wrong, restart process over | |
| <quail-laptop> i not used a floppy in yeahs | |
| <quail-laptop> years | |
| <siccness> im just glad memtest is included in distros/bioses these days | |
| <siccness> using a disk for that sucked | |
| <Phlosten> using a disk for anything sucked | |
| <siccness> heh | |
| <Phlosten> still does | |
| <Phlosten> :) | |
| <siccness> yup, and im still yet to convert to usb disks | |
| <quail-laptop> usb flash drives are way better | |
| <siccness> so im a cd-RW man | |
| <Phlosten> yeah, i just bought a 1GB flash drive, super neato | |
| <siccness> i would but for me to connect a usb disk | |
| <siccness> it means i gotta disk through all the empty bottles on teh floor, and fit it into the back of the case | |
| <siccness> too much effort | |
| <Phlosten> lol | |
| <Phlosten> i have an extension cable out to the top of the table | |
| <Phlosten> easy as | |
| <siccness> not a bad idea | |
| <Phlosten> i'd use the ports on the side, except they are broken and/or disconnected | |
| <siccness> I should really connect my front-case ones up | |
| <siccness> but it's all effort these days | |
| <Phlosten> one is broken and the other i cant be bother connecting, fiddly little buggers | |
| <siccness> i dont have have reset/hdd light connected to the mobo | |
| <siccness> just power button | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> friggs sake tafe, get it right (talking about Session Layer of OSI 7 layer model here): iSCSI Small Computer Systems Interface | |
| <Phlosten> ditto | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> missing the /i/ bit.... | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hte /internet/ | |
| <siccness> simply because those little cables are too hard to fit | |
| <siccness> so damn small, and i cant udnerstand manuals these days | |
| <mtholdenss> any of u guys use song bird? | |
| <siccness> not i | |
| <mtholdenss> toss up between banshee or song bird, sony bird has a better itunes gui look but banshee has the feature of connecting to other itunes computers... | |
| <siccness> mpg321 is great as well :P | |
| <siccness> can't get much better than a command-line interfaced audio/music player :D | |
| <shenki> heading home, ttyl | |
| <mtholdenss> siccness arnt u tired? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, is never tired | |
| <Phlosten> he is a machine | |
| <mtholdenss> i cant believe that we aussie ppl are still awake | |
| <mtholdenss> its late lol | |
| <elkbuntu> not really :P | |
| <siccness> i dont sleep really | |
| <siccness> must admit tho, nearly fell asleep on the dentist chair | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> they deserv it | |
| <siccness> could have been very ugly if the mouth closed all the way | |
| <Phlosten> g'night all | |

| <siccness> lol | |
| <siccness> cant get much more specific than that! | |
| <quail-laptop> i checked the dir and i have nothing in the the fan dir | |
| <siccness> theres a couple of tools available under linux for it | |
| <siccness> not sure on it all tho to be honest | |
| <quail-laptop> cause my laptop sitting at 45C atm in the middle of the night and i not got the heater on | |
