01:50.23sjhillanyone around?
01:51.00file[laptop]yes
01:51.06jnorkHi.
01:51.14sjhilli am going insane with 'unzip'
01:51.21jnorkI see.
01:51.29file[laptop]insanity can be good
01:51.29sjhillhow in the heck do i extract a self-extracting .exe file under linux
01:51.33sjhilland no the -A option does not work
01:51.40jnorkHuh.
01:51.48jnorkIt should extract just fine.
01:51.59file[laptop]yeah, it should extract fine... I've done it before

01:52.33jnorkWhat error are you getting?
01:52.43sjhill_'sec
01:52.48jnorkAnd did you see our comments that it should work fine? Which I realize isn't much help. :/
01:53.31sjhill_yeah, it doesn't work fine
01:53.35jnork*nod*
01:53.37sjhill_what version of unzip do you have?
01:54.08sjhill_sjhill@atlas:~$ unzip E6501v1.0.exe

01:54.13sjhill_<PROTECTED>
01:54.13jnorkFile have to answer that. My answer is based on general knowledge of Zip stuff and DOS/Windows versions.
01:54.37jnorkUm, That sounds like you have one part of several.
01:54.50jnorkOh, nm.
01:55.26jnorkCan you send it here for me to look at? or is that impractical/impossible?
01:55.42sjhillhttp://download.msi.com.tw/support/mnu_exe/E6501v1.0.exe
01:55.48sjhilldownload it yourself and see what you get
01:55.54jnorkDoing that.
01:56.37file[laptop]same problem...
01:57.44file[laptop]http://upx.sourceforge.net/
01:57.45jnorkOK. WinRAR claims it's an SFX RAR archive.
01:57.48file[laptop]it was packed used that
01:57.59file[laptop]yup it's a rar
01:58.02jnorkSince I don't have WinZIP installed, I can't say how accurate that is.
01:58.16jnorkWant me to re-pack it for you? Or you can get RAR for Linux.
01:58.24sjhill;sec
01:58.31file[laptop]guess what, unrar unrars it fine :)
01:58.33jnorkwww.rarlabs.com IIRC
01:58.35jnorkheh
01:58.40jnorkOK nm
01:59.14jnorkMystery solved. Glad I could help. :)
01:59.33file[laptop]it's about 15.27MB unrarred :)
01:59.43sjhillfile[laptop]: give me the cmdline
01:59.44jnork*nod*
01:59.50file[laptop]unrar e "filename"
02:00.02file[laptop]unrar e E6510v1.0.exe
02:00.03jnorkI would have re-packed it in Zip format.
02:00.30sjhillunbelievable
02:00.32sjhillthat worked
02:00.33sjhillthx guys
02:00.35jnorkheh
02:01.31sjhillfile[laptop]: did you use a windows program to figure out is was a RAR or what?
02:01.57file[laptop]I used nano, and saw "Packed by UPX" at the top, typed UPX into Google... came up with a sf site
02:02.11file[laptop]then jnork said about it being a rar archive
02:02.14file[laptop]so I tried unrar, and voila
02:02.40sjhillwell, i think i'll go shoot myself now
02:02.55file[laptop]hehe
02:04.56jnorkPlease don't do that.
02:05.02jnorkLet us do it for you.
02:05.05jnork;)
02:06.02jnorkNo reason you should have known it was RAR. I only knew because I use WinRAR for most of my archiving. I don't even have WinZIP installed any more.
02:06.26file[laptop]I don't archive anything lol
02:06.28jnorkSo it opened in WinRAR automatically. It's just lucky I checked the status line.
02:09.20jnorkI mean for all my compression. You never compress anything either, I suppose. :)
02:09.47file[laptop]nope
02:09.59jnorkIs there anything you do? :)
02:10.14file[laptop]well I don't compress, that's all I'll say
02:10.18jnorkheh
02:10.33jnorkDo you hire out-of-work embedded software engineers?
02:10.41file[laptop]can't say I do
02:10.53jnorkAh well.
02:10.59jnorkApparently, neither does anybody else.
02:11.10file[laptop]in an alternate universe I may however
02:11.23jnorkUnfortunately for that, this is the universe I live in.
02:13.12file[laptop]I do however buy computer parts from people, so if you're in need of money sell something useful to me
02:13.13file[laptop]lol
02:24.27jnorkOK, let's see
02:25.07jnorkST19171FC, two each with spud brackets.
02:25.28sjhillthose scsi?
02:25.35jnorkNo.
02:25.56jnorkIf they were, I could test them... :/
02:26.07jnorkIf they were, I'd be using them. :)
02:27.12jnorkThat's called Fibre Channel, and as far as I can tell it's only used on Sun stuff.
02:27.33jnorkSo I'm not going to bother trying to sell the spud brackets separately.
02:28.33file[laptop]no thanks
02:28.37jnorkHah.
02:28.45jnorkNot into Sun equipment, I take it?
02:29.08file[laptop]nope
02:29.10jnorkI'll just see what I can get on eBay. I just wish I had a way to test 'em.
02:29.33jnorkThen you won't be interested in these SBUS frame buffers, either.
02:29.59file[laptop]nope :)
02:31.20jnorkSorta.
02:31.50jnorkFree account for a year. Two and a half years later they finally realize I was still using it. :)
02:35.39file[laptop]this ebay seller just sent me two e-mails, he answered my questions twice...
02:35.45jnork?
02:36.06file[laptop]well actually he answered my questions, then reinforced what a good deal
02:36.11file[laptop]but never answered my second e-mail
02:36.13jnorkAh.
02:37.19file[laptop]If your looking for a file server im relatively sure this little baby will
02:37.20file[laptop]do it for you, but to know exactly what kind of deal your getting simply
02:37.20file[laptop]price these units individually with shipping off of here and youl see even
02:37.20file[laptop]the BUY IT NOW is outrageously low. If it doesnt sell at this giveaway price
02:37.20file[laptop]we will part it out. We probably should have in the first place but giving
02:37.20file[laptop]deals is what we are all about.
02:38.37jnorkA salesman. Yuck.
02:38.45file[laptop]yeah
02:39.00jnorkOr worse -- marketing.
02:39.07file[laptop]The P200 Pro Has a 256Meg cache least thats whats on the cpu.
02:39.22jnorkSalesman have occasionally been known to tell the truth.
02:39.38file[laptop]well it's a complete Pentium Pro system for $50
02:40.01jnorkPentium Pro 200. Wow.
02:40.35file[laptop]that's with 128MB of RAM, video card, the CPU, mobo, soundcard, and a hardrive
02:40.42file[laptop]they should have separated this up...
02:41.16jnorkIt's a decent little system if you don't need a lot of power by today's standards.
02:41.32file[laptop]it's for a fileserver.
02:41.36jnork*nod*
02:42.00file[laptop]only reason I want to dump what I have now is because it gets so unresponsive some times
02:43.00file[laptop]I'm afraid to compile stuff on it now because it crashes and ruins my uptime too
02:43.14file[laptop];)
02:43.23jnorkOw.
02:43.56file[laptop]plus a ppro cpu is just cool
02:44.01jnorkSo, how much are Toshiba Satellite 2515CDS laptops worth these days?
02:44.08file[laptop]no clue
02:44.12file[laptop]getting desperate?
02:44.15jnorkNot yet.
02:44.30jnorkWife asked about selling it, but I'm gonna leave it for "contingency."
02:44.48file[laptop]ic
02:44.52jnorkIt's just a Pentium MMX 266, 800x600 Active Matrix, 6g.
02:45.04jnorkSo it won't fetch more than a fraction what we paid for it.
02:46.07jnorkIt's supposed to take up to a single 128 mb SODIMM, but from what I can tell, nobody makes one that will work. So a 64 plus the built-in 32 meg is all it'll take.
02:46.20file[laptop]reminds me of this Thinkpad
02:46.29file[laptop]and yet, I still manage to run Win2k Pro on 96MB of RAM :)
02:46.34jnorkHeh.
02:46.35file[laptop]even ran Win2k3 on here for a bit
02:46.48jnorkI've got a pair of Thinkpads, too.
02:46.53file[laptop]what model?
02:46.55jnorkBut those are even older, and don't work properly.
02:47.07jnork955CE and hmm, CD I think.
02:47.11jnork1 sec
02:47.59jnorkYeah, that's right.

02:48.22file[laptop]yowsers must be old indeed
02:48.28jnorkYes.
02:48.42jnorkI also have one partially-non-working Winbook XL.
02:48.54jnorkWith the 13" display.
02:49.16file[laptop]cool
02:49.18jnorkI wish I knew if I could put the 13" display on a base made for the 12" display.
02:49.43jnorkThe display works perfectly, and the 12" models with broken screens are relatively easy to find.
02:50.13jnorkBut I can't afford to just buy one to see if it works.
02:50.23file[laptop]:(
02:51.24jnorkI really wish I had that one working. The processor is only 233, but it maxes out at 128 meg (instead of 96) and the screen is MUCH nicer than this Satellite.
02:52.18jnorkBetter contrast, brighter, and 1024x768.
02:52.45jnork*sigh*
02:52.55file[laptop]my thinkpad has a TFT display
02:53.09file[laptop]it's designed to be small however
02:53.19file[laptop]so screen is small, max res is 800x600
02:53.51file[laptop]http://file-radio.com/newpics/fulldesk.jpg
02:53.53file[laptop]there it is
02:54.25file[laptop]yes I know the passwords are there, they're old and no longer used
02:54.44jnorkHere it is. 13.1" TFT. http://www.winbookcorp.com/support/xl/xlspecs.htm
02:55.15file[laptop]nifty
02:55.49jnorkAnd I have a replicator port. It's just a nice little unit, and I wish it worked. :(
02:57.41file[laptop]grrrrrrrrrr my mail server is not sending out e-mail
02:59.30file[laptop]so that's why the guy never responded :) the e-mail never got sent
02:59.55jnorkYeah, guess you can't blame him for that one. :/
03:03.11file[laptop]ahhhh this ppro package is tempting

05:02.12file[laptop]eh this monitor works fine for me, so I use it

05:02.45file[laptop]my eyes can't stand higher
05:03.38file[laptop]I don't know how people do 1024x768 really... I used one of the machines at school that was set at that, had to switch computers...
05:05.14Russjust get a nice 15 inch and run it at 1280x1024
05:05.27Russif its nice, and does a good refresh, its easy on the eyes
05:05.50Russon 17's, I usually use 1600x1200
05:05.58file[laptop]one of these days I should straighten up my book case a bit...
05:06.18Russone of these days, I should get furniture
05:06.44file[laptop]that would be a nice idea
05:09.37RussI hate coders that make kernel modules, but make no attempt whatsoever to follow kernel coding standards
05:09.43file[laptop]haha
