| <siccness> wheres adhoc when you need him | |
| <merlin-linux> vista = Viruses Intruders Spyware Trojens and Adware | |
| <TheMuso> merlin-linux: haha | |
| <merlin-linux> want to hear something funny | |
| <merlin-linux> there was a guy walking down the street in a vista tshirt and i am wearing my intel linux tshirt and i walked up to him and said "free yourself and free your mind and use linux" and then i walk off | |
| <siccness> How's that funny? | |
| <TheMuso> siccness: Yeah its not. | |
| <merlin-linux> i was amused by it | |
| <merlin-linux> hey i thought it was good advertising for linux | |
| <purserj> Not really, but anyway | |
| <merlin-linux> would have left him thinking tho | |
| <merlin-linux> i just getting sick of all the vista advertising | |
| <MotherLUG> want to hear some thing funny | |
| <MotherLUG> my three year old thinks that because the red light on the front of my computer is flashing, that it means the police are coming. | |
| <merlin-linux> hehe | |
| <merlin-linux> flashing red light on my desktop means it is over heating and the fans can't keep up | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> MotherLUG, thats pretty cute. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> red flashing light on my desktop means some bastards given me a red flashy light | |
| <MotherLUG> Kamping_Kaiser, Yeah. You should hear some of the things these littlies come out with. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| <Phlosten> afternoon all | |
| <siccness> Kochie! | |
| <siccness> My computer crashed :| | |
| <TheMuso> siccness: Fun. | |
| <siccness> thing is it looked like everything closed down | |
| <siccness> rather than 'crash' | |
| <Tatey> Gentoo? :P | |
| <purserj> don't talk to me about bloody crashing :( | |
| <siccness> My money is on Arch linux infecting my computer with a reboot using cron | |
| <siccness> purserj: heh, not having fun? | |
| <purserj> siccness: we had to abandon the stream last night | |
| <siccness> oh, :| | |
| <Tatey> haha siccness | |
| <siccness> I see you released your theme(s) | |
| <siccness> Tatey: Haha, " I really see no advantage using a CLI over the GUI" <--You might wish to retract that from your blog post "Gentoo Linux 2006.0 Released!" | |
| <Tatey> eh? | |
| <siccness> Have you used the GUI installer? | |
| <siccness> It's the buggiest pile of crap ever | |
| <Tatey> you can still do a CLI install from the GUI | |
| <Tatey> that's what I meant, I probably wasn't specific enough | |
| <siccness> Ahh, you mean the console one? | |
| <siccness> rather than the gtk? | |
| <Tatey> well, you do the CLI install from a console in the GUI | |
| <Tatey> therefore, you still have access to a web browser, IRC | |
| <Tatey> etc | |
| <siccness> yeah | |
| <Tatey> but yea | |
| <Tatey> sif cbf waiting 230923923 minutes to install an OS :P | |
| <Tatey> 13:27 < ^catalyst> how much jail time would you get for killing 2 people? | |
| <Tatey> ...wtf | |
| <siccness> Depends really :) | |
| <siccness> You can get life for that :) | |
| <Tatey> someone else replied "None if you don't get caught ;)" | |
| <siccness> $9 for a jug and a free schooner? maaaateee :D | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, suppose the most you can get is two life sentences, so 80 years (or 40...?) | |
| <siccness> i think we state life is 25? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> thought it was 20 or 40, but whatever works ;) | |
| <siccness> lemme google | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> heh | |
| <siccness> For serious crimes, the State Supreme Courts may sentence criminals to a life sentence, usually with a minimum term. Although it is rare, some people are sentenced to life with no minimum term. That is, they will never be released. Notorious prisoners such Ivan Milat and Martin Bryant are currently serving this sentence. | |
| <siccness> Apparently there's no set minimum :| | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :o | |
| <siccness> so much for our knowledge :| | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> <insert political rant about bryant here> | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :D:D:D:D debain alpha's buildd's have caught up again, its a RC arch again :) http://www.infodrom.org/~joey/log/?200701291912 | |
| <Tatey> siccness: I finally packaged and released my Openbox and GTK theme | |
| <TheMuso> Tatey: Ever thought of packaging it up for universe? | |
| <Tatey> I'm not sure how | |
| <TheMuso> Tatey: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New | |
| <siccness> Tatey: I know you did, hence why I mentioned it before :P | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> (b) You may make a single archival copy of Software, but otherwise may not copy, modify, or distribute Software. <- solaris licence agreement | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> (f) You may not publish or provide the results of any benchmark or comparison tests run on Software to any third party without the prior written consent of Sun. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ^^ thats just weird | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> as is the nuclear faciility clause. | |
| <Tatey> Kamping_Kaiser: it is proprietary software, it will feature nasty clauses | |
| <Tatey> even the OpenSolaris license, isn't all that open | |
| <Tatey> I'm skeptic of Sun, until they GPLv3 OpenSolaris, which they're rumoured to be doing | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Tatey, i am too, but i want to have a play (its been ~12 months since i did last). | |
| <Tatey> I ordered some Solaris 10 CD's | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Tatey, its a less nasty licence then i thought, i just find some clauses weird (although they are probably there fora reason) | |
| <purserj> the CDDL? | |
| <purserj> or GPL3 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> the one i was looking at? looks like a strait licence to me, not a special one | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser gives sun's site the evil eye (again...) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> anyway. bbl | |
| <siccness> Tatey: Have you received your CD? | |
| <Tatey> Nope | |
| <siccness> Bahaha, dads truck got stuck in an intersection for 1hr today | |
| <siccness> He's furious :) | |
| <TheMuso> siccness: What caused that? | |
| <siccness> He's not sure, truck just broke down. | |
| <siccness> blocked half the intersection off | |
| <siccness> classic stuff | |
| <siccness> Now he's gotta come home and fix my car, looks like im gonna have to shout him a couple of beers :| | |
| <TheMuso> siccness: His truck broke down? | |
| <siccness> Yah | |
| <TheMuso> damn | |
| <siccness> Not sure why tho | |
| <Phlosten> afternoon smart peoples | |
| <siccness> Must be in the wrong channel mate, no smart peoples here :P | |
| <praetorian> try #gentoo-au | |
| <praetorian> :~ | |
| <siccness> Hahaha | |
| <siccness> :D | |
| <Phlosten> well I don't any of you in #WindowsRulez, so you must all be smart | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> s/#/## | |
| <siccness> s/\//\// :) | |
| <siccness> although that's not correct, but eh | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser doesnt bother to sed your line... it would just get ugly ;) | |
| <siccness> LOL yeah | |
| <cps> there's a #WindowsRulez, I'm there | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i dont see one with /who or /topic | |
| <siccness> That's because it doesn't exist ;) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> siccness, so i gather :P | |
| <cps> damn! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> bbl. catch you all then | |
| <cps> they probably hang out in #wow | |
| <elkbuntu> Kamping_Kaiser, simple solution to sed'ing siccness's stuff... s/$what_siccness_said// | |
| * Davo_Dinkum is using irssi | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> It's all warm and snuggly. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Also hello. | |
| <cps> good to hear | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Stupid GAIM and X-Chat | |
| <cps> I use X-Chat-gnome | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> cps: Yeah I tried that, didn't like it, the channel list always popped up, very annoying. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> siccness: What CLI program are you using for IM? | |
| <cps> he probably uses telnet | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> How could I manually mount a CF to PCMCIA adapter? | |
| <cps> what kind of device does it appear as? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I tried to find it with fdisk -l, but nothing came up. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> cps: Under lspci? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I don't think it turns up. | |
| <cps> that doesn't tell you what device node it's under | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> How can I find that out? | |
| * Davo_Dinkum tries lspci -v | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> cps: How can I find out what device node it's undeR? | |
| <cps> meh, I don't know, have a look in hal-device-manager | |
| <cps> you can also have a look in dmesg | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> cps: [17756981.100000] pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 <<Something like that? | |
| <cps> yeah you will often then see the name of the device node after those messages | |
| <cps> did you see it in hal-device-manager? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> No, I couldn't find it there. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> So what do I do now? | |
| <cps> well what happens in dmesg after the device is inserted | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> What I just pasted in before: [17756981.100000] pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 | |
| <cps> and that's it | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Yep. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Is that good or bad? | |
| <cps> well then, it seems like your device may not be supported | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> But ubuntu has detected it and automounted it before. | |
| <cps> oh | |
| <cps> well, I don't know then | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> OK | |
| <cps> is this still ubuntu you are using? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Yes, edgy. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I tried fdisk -l but nothing showed up. | |
| <purserj> recently do any updates? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> purserj: Yeah a few. | |
| <cps> what do you get from: cat /proc/partitions | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> hda, hda1 and hda5. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> So I don't think it shows up there either. | |
| <cps> yeah | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: irssi w/bitlbee | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Ah OK | |
| <siccness> holy crap, electricity bill is massive :| | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> As you can see, trying to fix other things^^^ | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> siccness: Too many CRTs still in use? | |
| <siccness> nope | |
| <siccness> mt money is chargin the battery up | |
| <siccness> *my | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> What battery? | |
| <siccness> car battery that is | |
| <AlexC> hia | |
| <cps> hello | |
| <dj_tchiseen> hello fellow australian linux users | |
| <Tatey> hi dj_tchiseen | |
| <AlexC> howdy | |
| <dj_tchiseen> I hope I'm not interrupting anything astoundingly important | |
| <cps> no you aren't | |
| <dj_tchiseen> I was lucky enough to go to linux.conf.au | |
| <cps> yeah me too | |
| <dj_tchiseen> I had a grand ol time | |
| <cps> yeah it was awesome | |
| <dj_tchiseen> it was | |
| <AlexC> i wish i could go | |
| <dj_tchiseen> I got a free bag and I'm now taking it everywhere with me like some sort of metrosexual | |
| <AlexC> but i had plans | |
| <dj_tchiseen> plans>linux ?? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> in any case, I'd hoped that someone could give me a bit of advice | |
| <cps> what sort of plans? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> I have a computer, sorta. no hdd no dvd drive, | |
| <dj_tchiseen> and i want to run ubuntu over the network, | |
| <dj_tchiseen> as I think they had at the conf, but im not sure. | |
| <Tatey> ahh, running X remotely? | |
| <cps> yeah they had ubuntu on tap set up | |
| <dj_tchiseen> Tatey - yes i beleive so | |
| <dj_tchiseen> now I have to admit I am a pretty huge n00blet | |
| <Tatey> I've never played with it, but it's certainly possible | |
| <dj_tchiseen> do you think you could direct me to a link where I might find some more instructions | |
| <dj_tchiseen> and as horrid as it may be... I'd like to run it from windows >_> | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i've got the live cd in but idk if that's enough | |
| <cps> so you don't want to boot off the network you just want to run a remote X session? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> I'm sorry but I dont know the difference, | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i will try and better describe my situation | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i have this computer running vista and this bare system with no hdd and no dvd drive that i'd like to set up as a linux media box thing | |
| <Tatey> you want to boot Vista off the network, on to a Linux box? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> no, i'd like to boot ubuntu onto the box with no hdd from a cd in my vista computer | |
| <cps> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot | |
| <dj_tchiseen> thank you for bearing with me!! | |
| <cps> might be a bit out of date | |
| <DarkMageZ> dj_tchiseen, why not temporarily move the cd drive from the vista box to the testbox? or just boot the live cd from the current machine? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> the machine im on now is running vista happily and i'd just like to keep it that way | |
| <dj_tchiseen> and i suppose i could move the dvd drive from this system, but i would like to avoid it | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i just bought it specifically for this box | |
| <dj_tchiseen> cps - i think i may have a few problems with that method , | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i don't think i can expect to install it on the box as it has no hdd | |
| <dj_tchiseen> the system has a CD drive in it though, | |
| <dj_tchiseen> but not a dvd drive | |
| <cps> then run the live cd | |
| <DarkMageZ> dj_tchiseen, the live cd itself can boot the entire operating system and run the browser without touching the harddrive :) | |
| <dj_tchiseen> ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso ? | |
| <DarkMageZ> thats the one | |
| <dj_tchiseen> okay | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i've got the DVD | |
| <dj_tchiseen> ill just download that one | |
| <DarkMageZ> tho to be completely honest. the live cd will look @ your hard-drive for a swap partition in hope to beable to use it :P | |
| <cps> and then you can do this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence | |
| <dj_tchiseen> no swap + 256mb RAM :D | |
| <dj_tchiseen> cps _- persistence looks V handy! | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i would like to install somthing like webTV too, as I've recently purchased a usb tuner | |
| <Solicitous> Hi All. Just dropping by to say a Thank You to whoever organises the posting of the free Powered By Ubuntu stickers. Just got mine today, they look great. | |
| <dj_tchiseen> Solicitous - i got some too, and i think they're cool too. hear hear | |
| <dj_tchiseen> er, here here even | |
| <ThePizzaKing> Yay, I think I just successfully undervolted my laptop | |
| <ThePizzaKing> so if I suddenly drop out you can probably guess at a kernel panic | |
| <Phlosten> ThePizzaKing: are you trying to cool it down? | |
| <ThePizzaKing> yeah, and expend the battery life | |
| <ThePizzaKing> *expand | |
| <ThePizzaKing> make that extend | |
| <Phlosten> sorry, have to take your first answer... | |
| <ThePizzaKing> damn, now my battery is going to last for like five minutes | |
| <siccness> Heh | |
| <siccness> Why are you trying to do this? | |
| <Phlosten> hmm there are a lot of Gimp 2.2 that wont work in 2.3, gonna be fun | |
| <ThePizzaKing> It runs quieter as when it's running at 800MHz it doesn't go over the fan threshold anymore | |
| <mruiz> ping cafuego_ | |
| <Phlosten> force it to run at 800 permanently :) | |
| <ThePizzaKing> but then compiling takes ages | |
| <siccness> Nah compiling doesnt take log at all | |
| <ThePizzaKing> although, I don't do that very often | |
| <siccness> *long | |
| <Phlosten> i dont even have any fans that adjust themselves | |
| <Phlosten> my wind tunned rans flat out all day :) | |
| <Phlosten> tunnel | |
| <Phlosten> runs too | |
| <siccness> Phlosten: is GIMP 2.3 out? | |
| <Phlosten> siccness: gimp 2.3 is development, 2.4 will be the stable ver of it | |
| <Phlosten> and no it isnt out | |
| <lucychili> its been mayhems | |
| <Phlosten> might be a while yet :/ | |
| <siccness> I might upgrade to 2.3.14 | |
| <Phlosten> i have it on one machine, very nice, apart from lack of scripts :) | |
| <siccness> hmm, looks like it depends on a few packages that I need to upgrade too :| | |
| <siccness> Damn it | |

| <siccness> Heh | |
| <Hit3k> "when I grow up I want to be a carney!!" | |
| <purserj> The articles a beatup and its aimed at sparking "rightous anger" in "ordinary australians" | |
| <dj_tchiseen> pwnt | |
| <yama> purserj: they don't eat pork? FOR SHAME!!!! | |
| <siccness> Neither do vegetarians :) | |
| <yama> yes, it's a beatup | |
| <yama> damn vegetarians | |
| * yama glares at greebo :) | |
| <yama> the article specifically states that other religious groups receive abundant resources, so this is no different | |
| <Hit3k> according to gnome its 24 degrees celcius outside. | |
| <siccness> Hit3k: What location you getting it from? | |
| <Hit3k> City: Melbourne | |
| <siccness> I use Moorabbin | |
| <Hit3k> can you get it closer to knox? | |
| <siccness> Yeah, by using Moorabbin | |
| <Hit3k> :/ I only have Richmond Avalon or Melbourne | |
| <siccness> What utility is that? gnome weather applet | |
| <siccness> ? | |

| <Davo_Dinkum> What exactly is a "secret push-button code"? | |
| <siccness> a numerical value I'd assume | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Like a verse from the koran? | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <TheMuso> !seen ogra | |
| <ubotu> ogra is on IRC right now! | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Scene: "Msulim student pushes button. Voice (in arabic) asks them to recite verse x.xx (random number verse) from the koran to prove that they are muslim." | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Alternatively, holding down the reset button below that button will allow them to override the system. | |
| <purserj> More like "Help I'm caught between the rednecks and the extremists" | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Followers of FSM also need their own washroom. | |
| <purserj> why? FSM has no special rules before prayer | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> But they must eat that messy pasta! | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Why aren't people posting /. articles? This is freenode you know. | |

| <dj_tchiseen> gets past post, and then goes to a black screen that says 'out of range 35.4khz' | |
| <dj_tchiseen> but it did it last time and it took a while and booted into ubuntu | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> dj_tchiseen: Your monitor isn't liking the signal it's receiving. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Has ubuntu actually booted? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> it booted abt 30 seconds ago | |
| <dj_tchiseen> with no special vga fn's | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> dj_tchiseen: Try pressing ctrl+alt+F2 | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> This will get you into a console | |
| <dj_tchiseen> ah, ok | |
| <dj_tchiseen> says a bunch of stuff | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Like "loading blah blah"? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> it says 'the system is going down for reboot now | |
| <dj_tchiseen> 'rebooted from gdm menu' | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> ?? Did you randomly press buttons when you couldn't see anything on the screen? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i prolly hti ctrl alt del | |

| <dj_tchiseen> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence | |
| <dj_tchiseen> sorry | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Oh right. Using the usb drive as a writable partition. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Don't know why they had to call it 'persistent' though. | |

| <dj_tchiseen> on the link here - <dj_tchiseen> i dont think the persistent worked either | |
| <dj_tchiseen> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i mean, it says At the end of this argument list just add a space and add the word “persistent”. | |
| <dj_tchiseen> do you put it before or after the dashes | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> dashes? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> there's a " --" at the end | |
| <dj_tchiseen> after a few words like 'splash' | |
| <ThePizzaKing> um, Is it just me or is this error message ambiguous: 'Control socket read failed: Success' | |
| <siccness> more confusing if anything | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> dj_tchiseen, probably before (not having used a live cd with parameters) | |
| <siccness> failed but succeeded at failing? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ThePizzaKing, no, your ambiguous too :) | |
| <ThePizzaKing> maybe | |
| <ThePizzaKing> ah, ok then | |
| <dj_tchiseen> Kamping_Kaiser - thank you, i'm going to try a few combinations | |

| <dj_tchiseen> i learned it in abt 12 hours a plane to moscow? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL russian is that easy is it? | |
| * Davo_Dinkum learns russian in a week | |
| <siccness> Yeah, just add 'ikov' to all english words and you have russian | |
| <dj_tchiseen> when i say 'learned' i mean that in teh most loose sense of the word | |
| <praetorian> siccness: heh | |
| <praetorian> only 6 eps are out so far.. | |

| <Davo_Dinkum> yama: ROTFLOL nice | |
| <TheMuso> yama: hahaha | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> hello:olleh | |
| <siccness> praetorian: wiki just ruined s6 for me | |
| <dj_tchiseen> you know what's tripping me out | |
| <purserj> How old was your brother? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> siccness: Dude wiki has spoiler warnings! | |
| <purserj> this whole conversation? | |
| <yama> purserj: he was like 10 or something | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> dj_tchiseen: The drugs? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> im in ubuntu live, and im downloading somthing in FF and it says 'save to disk' | |
| <siccness> Davo_Dinkum: no shit | |
| <dj_tchiseen> but there is no disk | |
| <siccness> doesnt work very well | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> dj_tchiseen: Don't you have the USB disk set up? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> dj_tchiseen: It might be able to store it in RAM, but I doubt it. | |
| <TheMuso> But what would they do with palindromic words? Thats not very chinese then is it. | |
| <yama> there's limited space in RAM to store files | |
| <dj_tchiseen> the usb disk is there but it isnt *waves hands* | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i cant see it to store files on it | |
| <dj_tchiseen> perhaps i should have partitioned it better | |
| <yama> TheMuso: I don't think a ten-year-old would think of that :) | |
| <TheMuso> yama: True. | |
| <yama> actually, he might have been younger | |
| <yama> but it doesn't matter, it's still funny :) | |
| <TheMuso> yeah | |
| <TheMuso> Man I love the dict command. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> dict? | |
| *** klepas_ is now known as klepas | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> dictionary? | |
| <siccness> yes | |
| <praetorian> siccness: silly boy | |
| <TheMuso> Beats opening a browser, and going to a dictionary site | |
| <siccness> praetorian: it's structured poorly on wiki | |
| <praetorian> siccness: but it would only have to ep 6 on there | |
| <siccness> it says spoiler warning so i ignored it | |
| <praetorian> haha | |
| <siccness> so i looked to the right where it has character detaiks | |
| <siccness> and i find out jacks brother | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Where does dict get it's words from? | |
| <siccness> from a database, probably. | |
| <yama> dict.org | |
| <yama> although it's an american dictionary | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I want it to pull it from an internet connection dammit. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Spoke to soon. | |
| <TheMuso> yama: Better tha nothing most of the time. | |
| <praetorian> does the yank dictionary contain ' 's | |
| <praetorian> :~ | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> There's a lot of japanese dictionaries. | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Mind you all I searched for was 'dict' so that would have been very broard. | |
| <Cyvros> You'd be right, siccness. irssi does work in the console. | |
| <siccness> of course it does | |
| * praetorian wonders why it .. wouldn't | |
| <elkbuntu> ... | |
| <elkbuntu> yeah | |
| <Cyvros> praetorian: For some reason, I thought it didn't. | |
| <Cyvros> :D | |
| <TheMuso> Cyvros: Dude. I live in the console! | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> I thought irssi only worked in a console. | |
| <Cyvros> TheMuso: Hehehe. | |
| <siccness> he's confused by terminal with a wm and just terminal | |
| * Cyvros feels ridiculously stupid. | |
| <Cyvros> BRB. I need my Openbox. | |
| <siccness> use screen too | |
| <siccness> ya fool. | |
| <yama> dictd is good, especially since you can install it locally | |
| <praetorian> TheMuso & | |
| <TheMuso> yama: Yep | |
| <yama> but if I'm online I prefer askoxford.com or some such | |
| <TheMuso> praetorian: ? | |
| <yama> there are actually quite a few good dictionaties online | |
| <praetorian> backgrounding my themuso process | |
| <yama> *dictionaries | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <purserj> praetorian: I usually like to nohup mine | |
| <siccness> fg it :) | |
| <praetorian> bg | |
| <TheMuso> praetorian: hahaha | |
| <siccness> or better yet, kill -9 [pidOfMuso] :) | |
| * siccness runs | |
| <praetorian> kilall -9 themus | |
| <praetorian> o | |
| <siccness> heheh | |
| <purserj> sorry no processes killed | |
| <TheMuso> killall: Unknown process | |
| <siccness> doesn't killall require something like -s? | |
| <praetorian> to specify the signal? | |
| <praetorian> no | |
| <siccness> heh, learn something new everyday | |
| <Jordn> Bah! | |
| <praetorian> try killall -9 init | |
| * Jordn shoots Cyvros | |
| <praetorian> you will soon learn | |

| <Jordn> siccness: How? | |
| <siccness> ../msg nickserv ghost username password | |
| * Jordn is really, REALLY bad at this. | |
| <Jordn> EY! | |
| <Jordn> Thanks, siccness. | |
| *** Jordn is now known as Cyvros | |
| <dj_tchiseen> what's the hotkey for opening terminal | |
| <siccness> dj_tchiseen: depends on what you set it to | |
| * Cyvros wriggles back into his Cyv suit. | |
| <dj_tchiseen> k | |
| * dj_tchiseen newb | |
| <siccness> you in gnome? | |
| <siccness> dj_tchiseen: open up a terminal and type: gnome-keybinding-properties | |
| <siccness> thats if you're using gnome | |
| <dj_tchiseen> siccness - im using the default desktop | |
| <Cyvros> SCORE! Gmail's finally been updated. | |
| <Cyvros> dj_tchiseen: In Ubuntu, that's GNOME. Kubuntu, KDE. Xubuntu, Xfce. Edubuntu, GNOME again. | |
| <dj_tchiseen> thanks Cyvros, i think i knew that :) | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i was told why the other versions of ubuntu were named such | |
| <Cyvros> dj_tchiseen: Sorry. :D | |
| * Cyvros goes and lurks. | |
| <dj_tchiseen> no no dont appologize! lol | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i knew but i forgot | |
| <Cyvros> Oh. | |
| <dj_tchiseen> whereas in many other situations, i just dont know | |
| <Cyvros> Ah. | |
| <Cyvros> Would you like some tea? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> sure! | |
| * Cyvros goes to find his tea trolley. | |
| <siccness> http://www.yokohama.com.au/img/pic_motorsport_tyre.jpg <--I want those | |
| <Cyvros> I saw it lurking around the post office yesterday. It might've moved on. | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: Nice. | |
| <siccness> It wouldn't fit on my car | |
| <siccness> but I want them | |
| <Cyvros> Looks a bit... interesting. | |
| <dj_tchiseen> they'd make a cool coffee table | |
| <dj_tchiseen> it looks like someone just gave a 10 yr old a solid modelling program and a tutorial and said go wild | |
| <Cyvros> Eyyyyy! Ex-Next-President makes good! http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/02/01/europe/EU-GEN-Norway-Nobel-Gore.php | |
| * Cyvros just had a dream about tyres with Tux patterns. | |
| <dj_tchiseen> im having trouble reformatting this disk | |
| <siccness> Smart man | |
| <Cyvros> ... | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: Yeah. | |
| <Cyvros> Apparently "tyres" isn't in the dictionary. | |
| <dj_tchiseen> u get a mil when u win the nobel prize | |
| <siccness> Cyvros: tires | |
| <siccness> ^american spelling | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: Ohhh. | |
| <Cyvros> Isn't it tyres, though? | |
| <siccness> in Australia, yes | |
| * Cyvros checks his Bob Jane T-Mart catalogue. | |
| <siccness> Yeah, Bob Jane is the place to go if you wanted to be ripped off. | |
| * Cyvros has been slowly typing out *proper* English and Australian words and added them to the dictionary. | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: I don't have a car, so I don't need to worry too much. :D | |
| <siccness> You will in a couple of years :P | |
| <Cyvros> Bad experience? | |
| <Cyvros> True. | |
| <siccness> Well I'm continually stupid enough to buy commodores | |
| <yama> Cyvros: which dictionary are you adding words to? | |
| * Cyvros is honestly considering being a pedestrian/public transport user. | |
| <siccness> which have a retarded design | |
| <siccness> which effectively wears out the outer of the tyre, rather than the inner | |
| <yama> Cyvros: there are en_GB variants of most dictionaries | |
| <Cyvros> yama: No idea. It's used by Gaim and Xchat, that much I know. | |
| <Cyvros> yama: I've never actually found the controls for this thing, to tell the truth. | |
| <siccness> so in the end, i have tyres which have been warn out completely on the outer, but still a hell-of-a-lot of tread on the inner | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: Ah. | |
| <siccness> so i just take it to my old mans factory and rip the bastards up | |
| <Cyvros> LOL. | |
| * merlin-linux puts the dvd movie of hackers in the dvd player to be reboardcasted to my moronoscope | |
| <yama> Cyvros: /etc/default/locale | |
| <siccness> Cyvros: and a short struggle 20m up the road to the tyre joint ;) | |
| <Cyvros> *deep, American continuity announcer-type voice* Heeeeeeeeeeeere's... Jeremy Paxman! | |
| <Cyvros> yama: Thanks. | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: Hehehe. | |
| <Cyvros> merlin-linux: Mornoscope? The, er, TV? | |
| <yama> Cyvros: and use the language tool to change your language as well | |
| <Cyvros> yama: How'd I get to that? GNOME Control Panel? | |
| <yama> Cyvros: in the System menu | |
| <yama> at the top of the screen | |
| <Cyvros> yama: Ah... I'm in Openbox. | |
| <Cyvros> I'll find it. | |
| <Cyvros> Found it. | |
| <Cyvros> gnome-language-selector. | |
| <yama> gksudo gnome-language-selector | |
| <Cyvros> Gah! Needs sudo. | |
| <yama> use gksudo | |
| <Cyvros> Thanks. | |
| <yama> sudo can mess things up if you use it with gtk | |
| <Cyvros> Stupid hoons and their burn-outs. | |
| <Cyvros> yama: Whoops... I'm already in it. | |
| <siccness> no no, stupid hoons and their burn-outs on public roads. | |
| * Cyvros rubs the back of his neck. | |
| <yama> Cyvros: don't use en_AU since it is incomplete. en_GB is complete and essentially identical | |
| <dj_tchiseen> okay, one quick qn, ive partitioned my USB thumb into 2 parts, sdb1 sdb2, and ive got the first part as the persistent, and the second part i want to be for normal file storage, | |
| <dj_tchiseen> sudo mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 -L casper-rw /dev/sda1 | |
| <Cyvros> yama: Yup. Thanks. | |
| <dj_tchiseen> for the first, but what do i do for teh second, just change the name? | |
| * Cyvros rarely uses en_AU. Bad experiences in Windows. | |
| <merlin-linux> Cyvros: yes moronoscope is the old name for tv | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: I tend to think they never work on any roads, really. | |
| <Cyvros> merlin-linux: Nice. | |
| * yama convinced most of the en_Au translators to move to en_GB | |
| <Cyvros> yama: LOL. | |
| <yama> they're almost identical, so what's the point in splitting resources? | |
| <Cyvros> yama: Dunno. | |
| <Cyvros> Adding "bugger"? | |
| <yama> the English have that too | |
| <Cyvros> Making it ridiculously- and overly-clear for those who don't know where English comes from? | |
| <Cyvros> True, true. | |
| <Cyvros> "Darl"? | |
| <merlin-linux> Cyvros: when you next see your grand parents ask them what is on the moronoscope | |
| <Cyvros> :D | |
| <Cyvros> merlin-linux: Ah. No grandparents here, matey-o. | |
| <yama> Cyvros: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation | |
| <merlin-linux> they will understand you | |
| <yama> I wrote most of that page | |
| <merlin-linux> Cyvros: well parents then | |
| <Cyvros> merlin-linux: They wouldn't know. Trust me. | |
| <merlin-linux> if they old enough | |
| <siccness> damn it, gnome's rooted this. brb | |
| <merlin-linux> Cyvros: i only 29 and i know what it is, maybe i hang around to many old people | |
| <Cyvros> yama: I might sign-up. Thanks for that. | |
| <Cyvros> merlin-linux: Bad sign? ;) | |
| <elkbuntu> merlin-linux, it may be a localised colloquialism, too | |
| <merlin-linux> Cyvros: no not really i learn alot from them | |
| * Cyvros just needs to remember what his Launchpad account username and password are. | |
| <Cyvros> merlin-linux: Okay. | |
| <merlin-linux> hackers has to be the best geek movie | |
| <yama> Cyvros: let me know if you're interested, since I'm an admin | |
| <Cyvros> merlin-linux: I've never seen it. Really that good? | |
| <Cyvros> yama: Thanks. I'd like to. I have another month before Uni starts, so I'm free 'til then. | |
| <Cyvros> siccness: WB. | |
| <merlin-linux> Cyvros: yes for when it was made it great | |
| <siccness> dank | |

| <siccness> just dont touch gnome, really ;) | |
| <siccness> it decides to inflict it's crappy settings | |

| <dj_tchiseen> and at my old place i was on 24mbit, | |
| <praetorian> you got 24mbit? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i was <1km from the redfern exch and on a brand new copper line | |
| <praetorian> ah | |
| <praetorian> i only get ~6mbit | |
| <dj_tchiseen> right now im waiting for them to rollout here | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i swear i got 23/24mbit | |
| <yama> dj_tchiseen: how close are you to the exchange? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> yama - right now like 2km? but im only on the 1.5 mbit | |
| <dj_tchiseen> this new exch isnt on agile yet | |
| <praetorian> 2km you will probably get about ~8 | |
| <praetorian> or so | |
| <TigerWolf> i only get 6mbit too | |
| <TigerWolf> the upload is the best bit though | |
| <dj_tchiseen> bugger | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i want soho annex M | |
| <TigerWolf> im 2.5-3.5kms from the exchange | |
| <TigerWolf> but yes i know some of the internode staff too - they enjoy working there and have a huge gaming network too | |
| <dj_tchiseen> you know, now thatyou mention it im not sure how far from the exch i am, | |
| <praetorian> TigerWolf: yeah | |
| <dj_tchiseen> TigerWolf - and they have free unmetered downloads of any kinda linux u want! | |
| <dj_tchiseen> hehe | |
| <TigerWolf> yep! | |
| <TigerWolf> and free apt mirror | |
| <dj_tchiseen> yea | |
| <TigerWolf> or repo. | |
| <dj_tchiseen> im constantly on their BF2 servers | |
| <dj_tchiseen> or fear combat | |
| <TigerWolf> ive been playing on their source servers recently | |
| <TigerWolf> they have lots of admins to kick cheaters and idiots too which is great | |
| <dj_tchiseen> even with 1.5mbit i still have consistently low pings | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i keep typing on the wrong keyboard, i neeed a kvm | |
| <elkbuntu> iinet do have unmetered mirrors too, they just suck at managing them | |
| <dj_tchiseen> heh | |
| <dj_tchiseen> the internode ones are really sharp | |
| <TheMuso> elkbuntu: Really? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> they had the vista nvidia drivers just abt immediately | |
| <elkbuntu> TheMuso, i was unable to download freebsd 6.0 or 6.1 from them for a friend. those two releases were never mirrored properly... dont know if they are now, since it was still b0rked when we switched to internode | |
| <elkbuntu> and that is as in... from when 6.0 release was unleashed, through to when 6.2 was nearing release | |
| <praetorian> o_O | |
| <praetorian> the gentoo mirror is fine | |
| <elkbuntu> oh... they did fix the mirrors once... long enough for me to download *half* of the first cd of 6.1 | |
| <praetorian> what was broken about it? | |
| <elkbuntu> praetorian, the structure | |
| <praetorian> the structure of the iinet mirror? | |
| <elkbuntu> praetorian, the branch directories looped, or were empty | |
| <praetorian> ah | |
| <praetorian> such as? | |
| <praetorian> ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/6.0/ looks fine | |
| <praetorian> (now) | |
| <elkbuntu> yeah. that's the key | |
| * praetorian shrugs | |
| <dj_tchiseen> rawr, now it doesnt want to mount the other partition on my usb key | |
| <praetorian> shit happens i guess | |
| <praetorian> still better than westnet's mirror | |
| <elkbuntu> their reasoning was complained that they couldnt find a working freebsd mirror to sync from in .au | |
| <elkbuntu> granted | |
| <yama> internode's mirror is brilliant | |
| <dj_tchiseen> everyone loves internode | |
| <dj_tchiseen> they erally shld take over telstra | |
| <siccness> yeah they erally shld | |
| <dj_tchiseen> hey dont get sassy with me | |
| <siccness> :) | |
| <dj_tchiseen> its one thing to mistype | |
| <yama> they are cool because their head people don't use windows :) | |
| <dj_tchiseen> that's prolly why they're all so cool | |
| <siccness> sweet, 2368 folders/files empty, oh boy this could be fun. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> pity they have started picking up tech support drones who dont do gnu/linux | |
| <dj_tchiseen> there's only so many | |
| <yama> they claim that they'll try to help you no matter what you're using | |
| <purserj> BEOS? | |
| <purserj> Windows ME? | |
| <purserj> OS9? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> oh, i used to run ME | |
| <yama> I need to call them and say I'm running RISCOS | |
| <purserj> HPUX | |
| <elkbuntu> purserj, os/2? | |
| <purserj> Tru64? | |
| <TigerWolf> dj_tchiseen - me too but the time was very short | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> the old ones can, the newer ones can be a bit iffy. (that said, i call re network problems, so its not like i need much help) | |
| <purserj> heh os/2, what we like to call windows 95 | |
| <praetorian> "hi i'm using windows 3.11. how do i install the network driver" | |
| <dj_tchiseen> the good news abt ME is that it got me onto 2000 quicker | |
| <dj_tchiseen> lol | |
| <purserj> I can't seem to browse gopher anymore, why? | |
| * yama remembers the days of win3.1 and trumpet winsock | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> praetorian, "upgrade to vista, it should still work on your comp" | |
| <praetorian> kz | |
| <yama> where's my compuserve? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> Operating System: Windows Vista Professional 6.0 (Build #6000) | |
| <dj_tchiseen> >_> | |
| <praetorian> deary | |
| * yama infects dj_tchiseen | |
| <praetorian> no use | |

| <Tatey> siccness: am now | |
| <dj_tchiseen> alright, so now im having a problem again with my usb key | |
| <elkbuntu> dj_tchiseen, seen the effect of the new vista virus? http://meldra.no-ip.info/image001.jpg | |
| <dj_tchiseen> NOOO!!! not mousey!!!! | |
| <yama> elkbuntu: LOL! | |
| <dj_tchiseen> really thought if you had that mouse, you'd be ultra cool | |
| <elkbuntu> yama, my mother emailed it to me earlier today | |
| <elkbuntu> actually.. only a few hours ago | |
| <yama> nice | |
| <dj_tchiseen> im getting a problem with my df -h command | |
| <yama> then don't use it | |
| <dj_tchiseen> it says cannot read table of mounted file systems, input output error | |
| <yama> ;) | |
| <dj_tchiseen> hehe | |
| * elkbuntu takes it to troll -offtopic | |
| <dj_tchiseen> well, i have my 256 mb usb stick formatted into 2 partitions, | |
| <praetorian> dj_tchiseen: ls /etc/mtab | |
| <dj_tchiseen> ./dev/sda1 is a ext2 /cow | |
| <yama> cat /etc/mtab | |
| <praetorian> need to see if it exists first | |
| <praetorian> :P~ | |
| <yama> cat will complain if it isnt there :) | |
| <dj_tchiseen> cata gives me an error | |
| <praetorian> sudo cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab | |
| <dj_tchiseen> ls outputs /stc/mtab | |
| <praetorian> wait | |
| <praetorian> it does? | |
| <yama> check the permission in it | |
| <praetorian> ls -lah /etc/mtab | |
| <dj_tchiseen> says root root ... etc mtab | |
| * purserj rebuilds php with exif support | |
| <dj_tchiseen> below same error | |
| <praetorian> need to know what it says next to root | |
| <praetorian> like -rw-r--r-- | |
| <praetorian> *exactly* | |
| <dj_tchiseen> its all dashes | |
| <dj_tchiseen> ------------ 0 root root 0 *date time* | |
| <yama> sudo chmod 0644 /etc/mtab | |
| <praetorian> lol ow | |
| <praetorian> 0 bytes | |
| <yama> never seen that before | |
| <praetorian> so yeah, do yama's command .. then mine from above | |
| <dj_tchiseen> yama that gets an error too | |
| <praetorian> is this a livecd? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> live yes | |
| <yama> phew | |
| <dj_tchiseen> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence | |
| <dj_tchiseen> LOL | |
| <dj_tchiseen> u thought my hd was gone | |
| <yama> it was a possibility, yes | |
| <dj_tchiseen> well, its not gone and it will never die | |
| <dj_tchiseen> because it doesnt exist *waves hands* | |
| <dj_tchiseen> okay, so let me try and break it down... | |
| <dj_tchiseen> split my usb in two, first partition got the persistence thing, second one is tentended ext2 sda5 | |
| <dj_tchiseen> extended* | |
| <dj_tchiseen> gprated shows both the partitions | |
| <dj_tchiseen> and after i set up the usb key i rebooted and it had the second part , the storage there | |
| <dj_tchiseen> i just fdisk'd it | |
| <dj_tchiseen> how should i partition it properly so that i can still have it as a persistent , but also use part for storage in linux | |
| <dj_tchiseen> should i put one part as a pirmary and the other as an extended? | |
| <dj_tchiseen> or should they both be primary | |
| <yama> I don't think it matters. You could even put both as extended, since you're not booting from it. | |
| <yama> anyway, I'm off to bed. night | |
| <dj_tchiseen> ok | |
| <dj_tchiseen> ill try that | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> Bye. | |
| <siccness> Vili's pies rock | |
