<Phlosten> allo all
<merlin-linux> hiya Phlosten, how are you?
<Phlosten> good
<Phlosten> how you doing merlin-linux ?
<merlin-linux> good
<merlin-linux> :-)
<Phlosten> hmm, debian doesnt have a k6 kernel
<merlin-linux> Phlosten: yeah you have to compile your own
<Phlosten> i have debian unstable on my k6-2/500 and the 486 kernel is not playing well
<merlin-linux> oh
<Phlosten> just an annoying keyboard problem, from what I can see its a kernel issue
<cafuego> Phlosten: Eww, at least use the 586 kernel
<cafuego> Prolly be fine with a 686 too
<Phlosten> cafuego, cannot see a 586 kernel
<cafuego> hmm, there _will_ be a 686 one though. The k6-2 is compatible with that in theory
<Phlosten> i can see the 686
<Phlosten> i'll try the 686 one
<Phlosten> not quite as 'Eww'
<Tatey> fella's
<Phlosten> howdy Tatey
<Phlosten> how goes it?
<Tatey> good mate, yourself? How oyu finding Arch?
<Phlosten> havent used it since yesterday
<Phlosten> been doing some work in Ubuntu
<Phlosten> but otherwise its good
<Tatey> nice mate
<Phlosten> its a 686 kernel aint it?
* Phlosten ponders
<Tatey> what is?
<Phlosten> cafuego, 686 no go on a k6
<cafuego> d'oh
<Phlosten> however upgrading my kernel to the latest one which it had missed solved my problem
<Tatey> K6 = i586
* Phlosten watches the K6 with 486 fly along
* cafuego intently stares at his new MIPS machine
<Tatey> hah, "My reason for Debian over Ubuntu is that I like to root"
<Tatey> what's wrong with sudo -i or sudo su
<Phlosten> easy enough to get sudo going
<Phlosten> Tatey, its called 'stuck in the mud'
<rendhalver> hey kids
<Tatey> because I work with so many Ubuntu boxes, I just install sudo on every box I use. It's easier
<Phlosten> i think its safer, most of the time i forget sudo and a task fails, and i get to check it over again :)
<merlin-linux> does anyone know what a imac g3 233 is worth?
<Tatey> merlin-linux: $100-200?
<Phlosten> about $10
<Phlosten> :)
<Tatey> look on eBay
<Phlosten> maybe more if you sell it as a paperweight
<Phlosten> j/k
<merlin-linux> i have one here complete with box install/restore cd's
* cafuego has a set of 350MHz ones
<rendhalver> merlin-linux: does it still have a cdrom?
<Phlosten> merlin-linux, what os version do it run?
<cafuego> merlin-linux: They make EXCELLENT ltsp clients
<merlin-linux> rendhalver: yes it fully works
<rendhalver> mac os 8.1 if it has original software
<merlin-linux> the only thing it is missing is the usb mouse
<rendhalver> i have one here but its missing the cdrom
<cafuego> those mice sucked, so no problem there
<Phlosten> i have always wanted a mac
<Phlosten> the puck mice?
<cafuego> yep
<merlin-linux> Phlosten: yes, you like to buy it
<DarkMageZ> i want one of those
<cafuego> use a $15 logitech
<Phlosten> first thing you do with those is smash it with a sledge hammer
<DarkMageZ> the puck mouse
<cafuego> DarkMageZ: to use???
<DarkMageZ> cafuego, nope. i'd place in around my computer as if i actually use it, and hide the real mouse when i'm not
<merlin-linux> reason why i asking what it worth, as i want to put it up on ebay
<rendhalver> merlin-linux: is it the original blue one?
<cafuego> merlin-linux: check ebay, see what similar imacs are going for.
<cafuego> Not much I imagine.
<merlin-linux> rendhalver: yes it the blue one
<rendhalver> thats the first iMac ever built
<rendhalver> so it could be considered a collectors item :)
<merlin-linux> cafuego: there is only on 233 g3 on ebay and the starting bid is at 40$ and buy it now price of 100$
<cafuego> In between US$10 and $25
<rendhalver> bur if its not for a collector it wont be worth much
<cafuego> merlin-linux: 32Mb ram?
<merlin-linux> cafuego: it got 64MB ram
<cafuego> cool
<merlin-linux> rendhalver: iirc it the orignal imac
<merlin-linux> i have all the original boxes the imac came in
<rendhalver> now thats scary
<merlin-linux> rendhalver: thats how i was given it about 12 months ago
* cafuego has one of those sets, but for the 350MHz SCSI G3 server.
* Phlosten wanders off to watch Ice Age 2, bbl
<merlin-linux> friends sister upgraded and gave it to her brother, and then he passed it on to me
<rendhalver> i would turn it into an ltsp client
<rendhalver> or work out how to plug it into your tv
* merlin-linux just wants to get some room back and more it on
<merlin-linux> hehe
<merlin-linux> rendhalver: i have enough computers here that i use without another one
<rendhalver> or install linux on it and give it to your mum
<merlin-linux> rendhalver: ubuntu runs so slow on it
<rendhalver> yeah it would
<rendhalver> hence using it as an ltsp client
<merlin-linux> rendhalver: i think my mum happy with her 3.6GHz pc
<rendhalver> :)
<rendhalver> if you do stick it on ebay make sure you put "Original Bondi Blue" somewhere in the description

<cafuego> yay
<cafuego> At approx 8:20am Brisba
<cafuego> ne Time, a major power disruption in Brisbane caused loss of power to many areas, includin
<cafuego> g the Oz Servers datacentre.
<merlin-linux> and i have a matched pair of slot 1 300MHz cpu's too, what would they be worth?
<cafuego> merlin-linux: $1
<cafuego> Mind you, I have a mobo that would fit both :-)
<merlin-linux> eek
<merlin-linux> cafuego: make me a good offer
<cafuego> So if you mail 'em to me for $1 each as standby replacement for the current set....
<rendhalver> cafuego: yeah my server hosting place got hit by that but luckily they have a scary ups
<cafuego> rendhalver: Apparently the generator at mine gave out after an hour
<cafuego> rendhalver: They reckon they're waiting for a replacment generator atm.
<rendhalver> crap
<cafuego> aye
<cafuego> primary mx/dns
<cafuego> who you with?
<rendhalver> depressing this was the gatway was on a the not quite as scary ups
<rendhalver> eis.net
<rendhalver> its run by an original apana boy
<rendhalver> if that means anything to you
<cafuego> more or less
<merlin-linux> what is 608MB of ECC pc100 sdram worth?
<cafuego> next to nothing
<rendhalver> naff all
<cafuego> merlin-linux: plug it into that imac :-)
<merlin-linux> you all not very helpful
<merlin-linux> cafuego: hehe
<cafuego> merlin-linux: Well, is that 608Mb in sticks of 16Mb each?
<rendhalver> its very very old so i cant look up the price in my wholesaler catalog
<rendhalver> more value as a cool geeky keyring
<purserj> merlin-linux: what box did it come out of?
<merlin-linux> cafuego: there 3 x 32MB, 2 x 64MB, 1 x 128MB, 1 x 256MB
<cafuego> $10 for the 256 if yer lucky
<merlin-linux> purserj: i was using it in a IBM server
* purserj ponders asking what happened to the server then trips over the 530 he's got next to his desk
<merlin-linux> purserj: i gave the servers to a good home for parts
<merlin-linux> i had IBM servers that were full scsi
<merlin-linux> they were dual pentium pro 200MHz
<merlin-linux> socket 8
<cafuego> merlin-linux: 256Mb of brand new PC133 is ~ 45
<merlin-linux> cafuego: i going to sell the ram all in one lot
* cafuego doubts you'll get $20 for it - but then, someone else may be in dire need of small sticks of ram.
<Changlinn> heh
* Changlinn had to look for 512mb ddr ecc ram last night and it took an hour to sort through all the sticks
<Changlinn> once I have my new server setup I'll be giving some away

<Phlosten> feelin' hot hot hot
<Tatey> yea, it's warm today
<hysterio> one good thing about being at work, aircon :)
<Phlosten> hysterio, indeed
<Phlosten> we have a split system in one room, not really good enough for the whole house though :/
<Tatey> I don't have any airconditioning, at all
<hysterio> time for an upgrade ;)
<elkbuntu> mmm ducted coooooling :)
<hysterio> elkbuntu: am I correct in my calculations that your open day thing is at 2am sydney time?
<hysterio> s/day/week/
<elkbuntu> hysterio, you are correct
<hysterio> ouch :(
<elkbuntu> both of them
<hysterio> i think someone asked before but I didnt catch the answer - are logs going to posted up at any stage?
<elkbuntu> im sure they will be
<hysterio> excellent

<MatthewV> afternoon Phlosten
<MatthewV> how are you today?
<MatthewV> long time no talk ;)
<Tatey> fella's
<Phlosten> MatthewV, hot, hot and did i mention hot?
<MatthewV> Phlosten, no you didnt
<MatthewV> how hot is hot?
<Phlosten> 34 atm
<Phlosten> 30 in here
<Phlosten> not as hot as yesterday though, but wed/thu are forecast for 41
<pschulz01> So who's up for some early morning IRC?
<purserj> not 2am early
<Tatey> [tate@fillets ~]$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature

<pschulz01> Tatey: Crap!
<Tatey> hah, my processor always runs warm
<Phlosten> *installs lmsensors*
<Tatey> pschulz01: you should be able to just cat that file
<hysterio> acpi -t may also tell you
<Phlosten> my cpu is at 47C
<Phlosten> it hits 75 if I render stuff though
<cafuego> youch
<cafuego> what cpu is that?
<Phlosten> the old AMD toaster oven model
<Phlosten> Athlon XP 2000+
<Phlosten> hooray for athcool
* cafuego looks into
<Tatey> I've got an Athlon XP 2500+
<Tatey> under load, I'd be peaking around 75-78C right now
<cafuego> 2400+ here
<elkbuntu> both my decent machines have semprons
<cafuego> my only decent machine has an amd64 3000+
<Tatey> I've got a Barton core, they run relatively cool for Athlon XP's. They're no comparrison to the Athlon 64's though
<Tatey> my HTPC/File Server has an Athlon 64 3600+ X2
<Phlosten> i have mine underclocked atm
<elkbuntu> lmsensors tells me: CPU: +98.6°F (37) Case: +95°F (35)
<cafuego> CPU Temp: +28°C
<cafuego> 8°C above ambient
<cafuego> 's idle though
<elkbuntu> mine would probably be cooler if there wasnt a crapload of paper sitting over half the airholes
* cafuego read that completely wrong <heh>
<hysterio> 45C - thinkpad t43
<elkbuntu> cafuego, heheh
<ajmitch> hottest my athlon XP got to before rebooting was 93C
<ajmitch> that box is now dead :)
<Tatey> I think my BIOS is set to automatically shutdown if the processor reaches 80C
<Phlosten> *burp*
<Tatey> how rude
<siccness> 100% on the practical exam :D
<Phlosten> siccness, ;)
<Phlosten> siccness, that was your IT exam thingie your were talking about yest?
<siccness> Yup
<siccness> Not sure on the theoretical side tho
<Phlosten> siccness, nice one
<siccness> I got 70%+ on the multi-choice (theoretical) but not sure on the other two sections
<Phlosten> siccness, what did they make you do?
<siccness> I ended up getting a Novell practical exam
<siccness> so i had to make a user, add it to a group
<siccness> assign group to a folder
<siccness> and distribute notepad
<siccness> allowed time: 1hr 30mins, completed in: 5mins :D
<Phlosten> heh
<Phlosten> congratulation, you now qualify to be able to run microsoft
<siccness> hardly
<Phlosten> oh sorry, you need a clown nose
<siccness> haha
<siccness> some dickhead cheated in the theoretical exam
<siccness> so i dobbed him in
<siccness> fight nearly broke out :|
<Tatey> oh snap
*** ThePizzaKing_ is now known as ThePizzaKing
<siccness> Yeah, apparently he didn't do one exam through the entire year. He's cheated on all of them apparently :|
<Tatey> why bother going to tertiary education then?
<siccness> Exactly
<siccness> He'll end up with a piece of paper, but as soon as he's asked a question at a job interview "uhh, not sure"
<hysterio> depends who's hiring
<siccness> it's a network engineering course
<siccness> if a question isnt asked, then the employer is a tool.
<hysterio> exactly - its more common than you think
<Phlosten> employers are generally all tools
<siccness> I'd rather work for a business that asked me questions during an interview than one that didn't.
<siccness> Atleast you know there's some form of professionalism.

* Phlosten whistles
<siccness> bardot, budapest, alabama!
<Phlosten> hmm, compiling your own does indeed take a while
<Phlosten> own kernel
<rendhalver> its quicker that compling your entire OS
<Phlosten> :)
* rendhalver used to run and develop gentoo
<Phlosten> 'used to'?
<rendhalver> yeah i got way too busy to keep doing it
<Phlosten> seems to be a common scenario
<rendhalver> yeah i have been noticing that kinda depressing
<Phlosten> the 'novelty value' wears off with a lot of people
<rendhalver> its still a really nice distro
<rendhalver> but definitely way too tme consuming
<rendhalver> especially when you run it on a slow old 466mhz p3
<Phlosten> i am compiling a kernel on a K5-2/500
<rendhalver> i am actually in the process of converting a gentoo box to ubuntu
<Phlosten> K6-2/500 rather
<rendhalver> yeah that does take a while
<rendhalver> been there
<Phlosten> debian does not have a K6 kernel available, only 486
<rendhalver> a 586 kernel should work shouldnt it?
<Phlosten> no 586 in there either
<rendhalver> crap
<Phlosten> just 486 then 686
<Phlosten> hopefully I should see some performance benefit compiling my own
<rendhalver> i cant remember what the k6 was equivelent to
<rendhalver> there usually is
<Tatey> K6 was suppose to Rival the Pentium 233 and early P2's
<Phlosten> yup
<Tatey> even though it was a generation behind
<Tatey> the K6-3 was actually faster than equivilant P2's
<Phlosten> there was K6 K6-2 and K6-3
<Phlosten> i have a K6-200 in the shed
<rendhalver> i had an old K6 for a while
<Phlosten> I dont think the K6-3 really had a big showing as everything then went bam! from that point
<rendhalver> cant remember what Mhz it was thogh
<Davo_Dinkum> How long does it take to crack WEP?
<Davo_Dinkum> Woops I'm back.
<siccness> rendhalver: you used to develop for gentoo, do you know johnm (lead kernel dev)?
<MatthewV> hmm... all the things in #ubuntu-classroom are late at night...
<Davo_Dinkum> There's an #ubuntu-classroom?
<adhoc> night in which part of the world?
<onefang> It's always night in some part of the world.
<siccness> Well of course.
<adhoc> that was my point ;)
<MatthewV> adhoc, night in my part of the world :( they're at 16.00UTC - 2100UTC :(
<MatthewV> ah well
<siccness> Damn Americans, sending us pathetic television programmes
<Davo_Dinkum> Like what?
<siccness> American Idol Dancing
<siccness> (thats not the actual name i dont think)
<siccness> but some crap like that
<Davo_Dinkum> So You Think You Can Dance
<Davo_Dinkum> Why don't you try and pick up Japanese TV? That'd be fun :D
<ctd> why doesn't ubuntu.org.au work yet?
<onefang> Coz it's a slack arsed ozzie bludger? B-)
<siccness> Aww, Davey Shafik's wife passed away :|
<Davo_Dinkum> Who?
<siccness> google his name
<Davo_Dinkum> Nah I don't care that much
<siccness> Well he's a PHP Developer, relatively well-known. Top bloke.
<Davo_Dinkum> Well, The PHP License is a Free Software license, so he gets my seal of approval.
<siccness> (I've actually known him for about 6 years). He actually stole my work :D
<Davo_Dinkum> Stole or copied?"
<siccness> i dunno, it was 6 years ago
<Davo_Dinkum> LOL OK
<siccness> It wasn't actually PHP
<siccness> It's funny how people I've known for about 5-6 years, all use Linux now (all of them came from a channel called #sweeet which was dedicated to SP).
<siccness> SP = SouthPark
<Davo_Dinkum> Maybe they saw that episode where gates is shot in the head.
<siccness> Well, doubtful. JohnM / ]-[elix (Gentoo Lead Kernel) came from #sweeet, Davey Shafik, Phusion (a member of some linux distro), PhaseBurn (linux admin)
<Phlosten_> that show should have been renamed, 'So you think you can dodge this bullet?'
<siccness> Hahaha
<Phlosten_> Mythbusters was good
<Phlosten_> holy crap, this kernel is still compiling
<siccness> hasnt that taken over 1hr?
<Phlosten_> more than 2
<Phlosten_> no wait
<Phlosten_> nah i was right, almost 2 hours
<siccness> Phlosten_: what box?
<Phlosten_> k6-2/500
<siccness> Hahaha
<Davo_Dinkum> 500mhz?
<Phlosten_> maybe tomorrow? :)
<siccness> that processor is like 6 yrs old +
<rendhalver> Phlosten_: i have this vague idea kernel compling on my k-6 used to take a few hours
<Phlosten_> indeed
<Phlosten_> only 1 owner
<Phlosten_> :)
<Phlosten_> this machine has been the most stable I have even owned
<siccness> overclock it 550 :)
<siccness> that'll cut 1min off the time :)
<Phlosten_> 550! are you nuts!! :P
<siccness> haha
<Phlosten_> there is probably quite a few modules I should have stripped out
<siccness> next time disable ext2/3 :)
<Phlosten_> anyone re-compiled their ubuntu kernels?
<Davo_Dinkum> Once, when I tried to install Xen. Not sure if it worked though.

<siccness> I don't mind spam, because they're all obvious to delete.
<Phlosten_> 1000? holy crap, do you deliberatly sign up to that stuff
<siccness> It's just the viagra ones are shooting my confidence down
<Phlosten_> hehe
<adhoc> siccness: most of the spam i get is via postmaster as bounces
<siccness> and you're quite welcome to replace the word confidence with the more unethical word ;)
<siccness> well not unethical, but not appropriate :)
<adhoc> siccness: why so, viagra is for folks that have absolutely no self essteem
<realist> I'd average ~1k spam mail per day too
<siccness> you win some you lose some i guess :)
<siccness> most of my spam comes from bigpond haha
<siccness> something about going over the 10GB download limit :P
<adhoc> realist: i fixed a lot of LDAP entries and my daily mail load went from 3000-5000 messages a day down to 300-500 per day

<siccness> <--not so good at understand ironic and catch 22 :P
<siccness> adhoc: oo, you know about LDAP hey
<adhoc> a little
<siccness> adhoc: is ActiveDirectory/eDirectory just implementations of LDAP?
<adhoc> more or less
<siccness> Beautiful
<realist> adhoc: can't imagine what was _so_ wrong, that you reduced your spam to 10%

<adhoc> realist: not spam, all postmaster mail
<realist> siccness: with it's own propriatry extensions, and propriatry kerebos implementation
<siccness> realist: *woosh*
<siccness> any examples of such extensions?
<realist> siccness: basically they take existing standards, such as x500, and "improve" them
<siccness> Yup, I see.
<realist> so they're incompatible with every other system

<realist> Those inconsistencies are inherent with all unix, not just GNU
<Davo_Dinkum> Even FreeDOS?
<realist> Hence why I like VMS / DCL
<realist> Consistent and intuitive commands + arguments
<siccness> realist: so that all arguments are consistent?
<siccness> excuse the echo
<realist> siccness: yup, and they're all based on english language, can be abbreviated to min of 3 or 4 chars
<siccness> oh cool
<adhoc> realist: you run VMS?
<adhoc> you know there is an openvms
<realist> openvms = vms
<adhoc> strange but true ...
<adhoc> you know there is an freevms
<realist> it's not as open as you think ;p
<adhoc> even more strange but true ...
<siccness> is openvms free?
<adhoc> siccness: no
<realist> siccness: for hobbyists, yes.
<siccness> well thats shit
<adhoc> openvms is the product
<realist> otherwise, it's _extremely_ expensive
<adhoc> freevms is the really free one
<siccness> so how does one become a hobbyist?
<adhoc> get a vax
<realist> like, the license costs more than the hardware kind of expensive
<adhoc> its all downhill from there
<siccness> eek :|
<realist> heh, vax, if you like expensive power bills
<Davo_Dinkum> LOL I love that "fag hag" can be transalated into japanese.
<adhoc> siccness: go have a look at freevms
<siccness> VAX and Alpha
<siccness> Hmm
<realist> siccness: you can get Alphas cheap enough from ebay these days
<siccness> yeah
<siccness> i know I can get an alpha relatively easily
<adhoc> realist: yeah. my vax is furniture at the moment
<Davo_Dinkum> sitting on it?
<adhoc> get youself something like a 600au alpha
<adhoc> Davo_Dinkum: think table

<siccness> all setup for different things
<Davo_Dinkum> You would
<siccness> and then a rich wife to pay for electricity
<realist> Nah, I'd rather have a personal datacentre located in my basement
<siccness> Nah, that sucks
<realist> Tap straight into the power grid (unmetered)
<siccness> basement is where you have the pooltable and bar
<realist> I'm talking 40ft below ground level
<siccness> Yeah, the pooltable and bar.

<adhoc> night all
<siccness> Night champ!
<Phlosten_> *sigh* still compiling
<MotherLUG> adhoc, NIght
<adhoc> NI
<adhoc> NI
<Phlosten_> cya adhoc
<siccness> Phlosten_: Still? :|
<siccness> That's slow.
<Phlosten_> yup
<siccness> I'll tell you what mate, i'll challenge you.
<Phlosten_> i have started compiling a new kernel for this machine :)
<MatthewV> http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2006-11/msg03765.html
<MatthewV> what do you think - message from sabdfl to openSUSE devs.. the responses are interesting
<siccness> here's the deal, Phlosten_, i gotta do a --sync
<siccness> and then ill compile
<siccness> whoever wins
<siccness> has to go to LCA wearing MotherLUG's tutu
<Phlosten_> MatthewV, yeah, we had a big discussion about that the other day
<siccness> and replace wins with loses ;)
<MatthewV> Phlosten_, we did?
<MatthewV> what did we say?
<Phlosten_> well, a few of us
<siccness> MatthewV: it's all in the logs :)
<MatthewV> ;)
<MatthewV> siccness, not now...
<MatthewV> :P
<Phlosten_> just general wondering about the reaction
<Phlosten_> MatthewV, so far the reaction hasnt been that bad
<MotherLUG> siccness, you will need to wear your hair in a bun
<MatthewV> Phlosten_, its interesting, so many of the responses seemed to ignore most of the email and look at small parts...
<Phlosten_> MatthewV, nothing unusual about that
<Davo_Dinkum> lmao. How long is your hair siccness?
<siccness> MotherLUG: Haha :)
<siccness> Davo_Dinkum: never you mind mate ;)
<MatthewV> Phlosten_, no its typical :)
<Phlosten_> siccness has pigtails
<siccness> If only.
<siccness> :P
* adhoc whispers .o( so does Kamping_Kaiser )
<Davo_Dinkum> lmao pigtails probably
<siccness> yeah but Kamping_Kaiser is sexy
<siccness> I can't challenge him
<adhoc> um
<MotherLUG> Phlosten_, thats fine, we can give him 2 buns
* adhoc goes to bed and doesn't about it....
<siccness> haha adhoc :)
<MotherLUG> Kamping_Kaiser can wear the spare fairy costume. OK
<siccness> MotherLUG: princess leila (sp?) style )
<MotherLUG> siccness, you got it
<Kamping_Kaiser> MotherLUG, <3
<siccness> ahh you're a refreshment to this channel, MotherLUG
<Davo_Dinkum> hmm, optus cable aint that bad. I can DL 2 torrents and listen to a radio stream without it lagging . whee!
<purserj> I was thinking more along the lines of Leia in Jabbas pleasure barge
<MotherLUG> siccness, do I have a straw?
<siccness> MotherLUG: why of course :)
<siccness> purserj: i think thats what i was thinkin of
<siccness> the one in the gold bikini?
<purserj> yeah, where she chokes the slug
<Davo_Dinkum> senator amadalia is hotter
<Phlosten_> Davo_Dinkum, a whole 2? wowsers
<purserj> amadala was a cheap marketing tool
<Davo_Dinkum> probably
<purserj> just like every other part of the last three movies
<Davo_Dinkum> lol
<Phlosten_> bwuhaha, my kernel compile on here has already overtaken the other machine
<purserj> I mean the Gungins were ewoks but instead of teddy bears, they were frogs
<Davo_Dinkum> someone likes the old school star wars
<MotherLUG> siccness, you need to tell me what size shirt you need
<siccness> eek, ill have to get back to you on all that stuff
<Davo_Dinkum> XXXXL?
<siccness> you're a south aussie arent ya?
<siccness> im headin over that way sometime within the near future :)
<Kamping_Kaiser> back in 30-60min ish
<siccness> hoping to meet all you SA people
<Phlosten_> siccness, nooo, dont do it
<purserj> Davo_Dinkum: yup, before Lucas decided the 4 billion he earnt from the first three wasn't enough
<siccness> and then he blew a couple of billion on the worlds dumbest house
<Davo_Dinkum> LOL well he did intend to finish the whole series
<Davo_Dinkum> wat house?
<purserj> He should have let someone else direct/write/envision it then
<siccness> Skywalker Ranch
<purserj> Spielberg would have been a good choice
<siccness> or whatever the hell it is
<Phlosten_> siccness, its got a nice sound studio in it
<purserj> They've colabed before on the Indiana Jones series
<merlin-linux> evening all
<siccness> Phlosten_: yeah
<siccness> It's still a waste of money
<Phlosten_> who cares
<Phlosten_> i sure dont think he did
<siccness> No one actually cares
<Phlosten_> :)
<siccness> but I can still make fun of it.
<siccness> Phlosten_: done compiling
<Phlosten_> nope
<siccness> no i mean i have
<siccness> you're wearing the tutu :P
<Phlosten_> heh, i never agreed to anything!
<siccness> weak!
<siccness> backin out of a deal
<Phlosten_> doesnt matter, wont be attending lca, will still be waiting for this compile :)

<fildo> 45degrees today
<fildo> in syd they recon.
<pschulz01> Morning..
<fildo> morning pschulz01
<bokey> i wanted to get rid of all the unused modules but haven't been able to do so. i tried this script @ http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Script_To_Remove_Unused_Modules but that seems to unload other loaded modules too.
<bokey> morning pschulz01 =)
<bokey> maybe if i unload unused modules that could make my system run a bit faster :/
<fildo> modules for kernel
<fildo> ?
<fildo> ey purserj
<bokey> fildo, yeah
<pschulz01> Max 33 in Adelaide.
<bokey> that seems a bit stupid but by meaning unloading *unused* modules, i mean those modules that are not useful for e.g., the wireless modules, usb net modules and etc. etc..
<pschulz01> bokey: Remove from running kernel or delete from the disk?
<bokey> pschulz01, kernel
<bokey> pschulz01, the code @ http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Script_To_Remove_Unused_Modules works except it unloads my usb mouse and other stuffs too. :(
<bokey> pschulz01, i need to rmmod all the modules that have zero's in the lsmod's output. that's the idea but I don't know how to approach it with shell scripting. :/
<pschulz01> bokey: What's the 'scratchpad' website? I keep forgetting..
<pschulz01> bokey: Do you know?
<bokey> pschulz01, ? nope.
<bokey> pschulz01, don't worry about it.. i think unloading modules needs certain criteria first.. i think I won't worry about it for now. =)
<bokey> because lsmod's output is only the formatted output, really it doesn't make sense to unload those modules.
<bokey> formatted output from /proc/modules i.e.
<bokey> =)
<pschulz01> bokey: The script looks very 'brut-force'
<pschulz01> bokey: It just tries to remove every module in turn..
<bokey> pschulz01, yeah indeed. it unloads everything that has "0" field in the lspci's output. it's not right. =)
<pschulz01> bokey: It doesn't event test for that tough.
<bokey> pschulz01, i ran that earlier and my mouse stopped working. hehe..
<pschulz01> though.
<bokey> pschulz01, """" if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then """ <== what does this do ?
<bokey> not very adept at shell scripting. =)
<pschulz01> bokey: You could modify the script by replacing 'modlist' witht he module that you want to remove (space separated).
<bokey> pschulz01, yeah i could do that but then it wouldn't be dynamic.
<pschulz01> bokey: test for 'success' or 'failure'
<pschulz01> bokey: of the rrmod
<pschulz01> rmmod
<bokey> pschulz01, sometimes I use usb and sometimes ethernet so I want to be able to unload the *unused* ones out of them.
<bokey> right.
<cafuego> bokey: $? is the return value of a program/script.
<pschulz01> bokey: The exit status.. yes.
<bokey> right.
<pschulz01> bokey: 0 - success, other - failure (usunally an error code)
<cafuego> usually 0 if there was no error. Not 0 if there was an error.
<bokey> right.
<purserj> thank god for email
<cafuego> purserj: ugh
<purserj> I should say, thank god for email rescheduling
<bokey> pschulz01, if I am correct to assume, ethernet is a module right ? and I could load/unload it. right ?
<bokey> pschulz01, sorry.. rephrase ethernet *driver* is a module. right ?
<pschulz01> bokey: Yes.. (if it is compiled as such)..
<bokey> right.
<pschulz01> bokey: I'm yet to compile the serial driver as a module for my embedded systems.
<bokey> pschulz01, so I want to load/unload ethernet/rndis_host module based on what connection medium I m using.
<pschulz01> bokey: What is rndis_host?
<bokey> pschulz01, that would be my ultimate goal. I want to load/unload modules based on whether it's being used/unused.
<cafuego> bokey: Aren't you better off checking for link status using mii-tool then?

<pschulz01> bokey: Ahhh.. coool!
<cafuego> or do usb network interfaces not support mii?
<bokey> cafuego, mii-tool ? let me see what that is.
<cafuego> sudo mii-tool -> eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
<fildo> y whats up purserj
<bokey> cafuego, never really used mii-tool. have got it sitting here though.
<cafuego> bokey: it'll tell you if an interface has link... so you could check if a nic is being sued that way, eh? :-)
<cafuego> the nic needs to support it, though
<bokey> cafuego, for usb's i used usbnet,rndis_host
<bokey> right.
<bokey> cafuego, k. I run a mii-tool --verbose. if it returns SIOCGMIIPHY then the interface is down. :{/
<cafuego> well
<cafuego> bokey: Not quite. it could mean 1 of 4 thinks.
<cafuego> bokey: Check the bottom part of 'man mii-tool'.
<bokey> cafuego, =)
<bokey> cafuego, don't think usb interfaces support mii
<cafuego> if it returns SIOCGMIIPHY when run as root, it likely doesn't support mii.
<bokey> cafuego, so it fails in anycase. no point on running it. :(
<bokey> right.
<bokey> thanks anywayz guys.. cafuego and pschulz01 =)
<bokey> apreciate it.
* bokey hunts down towards making his machine meaner. =)
<pschulz01> bokey: NP :-)
<adhoc> cafuego: i had a whole mail bag to off load
<cafuego> adhoc: my dad was pretty surprised to find a stack of boxes :-)
<pschulz01> adhoc: Do you know anyone with servers in the UK?
<adhoc> pschulz01: yes
<adhoc> in redbus
<adhoc> cafuego: your dad?
<cafuego> yeah
<adhoc> he be visiting?
<pschulz01> adhoc: Al our server at poundhost.co.uk have gone MIA.
<pschulz01> servers
<cafuego> parentals are here, have been all month (leaving again this arvo)
<adhoc> cafuego: =)
<adhoc> where are they hosted?
<pschulz01> What is the hight in RU of a standard rack?
<pschulz01> height
<adhoc> pschulz01: no dns resolution =/
<adhoc> 1U
<pschulz01> adhoc: Top to bottom
<pschulz01> 22?
<purserj> in RU or real
<pschulz01> RU
<purserj> 22 is a half rack
<adhoc> Height
<adhoc>
<adhoc> * 1.7" (43mm)
<pschulz01> Ta.. that sounds better..
<adhoc> 1u == 1.7" (43mm)
<cafuego> So a rack is the same height as I am, is what you're saying?
<cafuego> 44RU = 1892mm
<adhoc> cafuego: thats about right
* pschulz01 find that he can stuff cafuego quite neetly into a rack.
<adhoc> racks vary tho
<adhoc> pschulz01: he would have to duck tho
<pschulz01> adhoc: I have 3, and thay are all differend depths,
<siccness> Anyone here know of a good project management software?
<pschulz01> adhoc: .. and you were wondering what the chainsaw wasfor.
<cafuego> siccness: yes
<pschulz01> siccness: Planner? Use to be called Mr.Project
<pschulz01> siccness: .. I would recomment using a spreadsheet though.
<siccness> It's not so much what I or you would do, we're being told to use MS Project - but I'm hoping Planner can save to these files :P
<dsas> siccness: unlucky.
<cafuego> siccness: taskjuggler
<dsas> siccness: I don't think it can.
<dsas> I just use a spreadsheet too
<siccness> can gnumeric produces gant/pert charts?
<siccness> no ;(
<cafuego> siccness: taskjuggler
<siccness> yah, emerging taskjuggler now
