00:08:25Russ|werkibot: 16 * 12
00:37:21Morncan someone tell me what the difference between flash rom and compact flash is?
00:37:31Mornis it the same thing basically?
00:37:53CosmicPenguinMorn: Very diferent.....
00:37:59Mornok
00:38:06MornI thought because they were both 'flash'
00:38:24Mornis compact flash not subject to the same 'erase' limitations that flash rom is?
00:38:24CosmicPenguinFlash rom is more the *true* thing you think of when you think of flash....
00:39:00CosmicPenguinMorn: Compact flash acts exactly like an IDE in every case, execpt I do believe that it has a definate lifespan....
00:39:20CosmicPenguinI've got a question...
00:39:35CosmicPenguinWhen I build tinylogin in uclibc, it works great.... I type root, and I have no root password so it lets me in.....
00:39:50CosmicPenguinWhen I build tinylogin with libc, it always asks me for a password, and it never lets me it....
00:39:55CosmicPenguinsame tree...
00:39:59CosmicPenguinWhats up with that?
00:40:42Russ|werkI think you need some addition files in /etc
00:40:53Russ|werkpretty sure it talks about it in the docs
00:41:46CosmicPenguinRuss: I thought I had that part turned off (Makefile talks about USE_SYSTEM_PWD_GRP), which I have turned off....
01:13:42matrixhey
01:16:05Vito`So, um, anyone awake who knows what the status is of the DSP under Linux?
01:16:56CosmicPenguinWorks like a charm....
01:17:50Vito`Seriously?  You can write software to make phone calls, record calls, play audio, etc.?  The works?
01:19:49matrixi know the dsp works as an audio device and the phone works fine, as for making calls and recording calls, i couldn't tell you
01:20:52matrixbtwbtw- is anyone else using a socket communications lp-e (older pcmcia model?)
01:22:05CosmicPenguinVito`: You can use it to make phone calls, dial the phone, get caller ID.    You can't record phone calls yet, and the audio never went through the DSP
01:24:18Vito`ah, gotcha.
01:24:37Vito`I think it's probably time for me to order a few, then.  ;)
01:25:21matrixi saw a link off the wiki of a hardware hack to do voip with a shannon
01:26:17CosmicPenguinmatrix: Its more of an audio mod..... but its called shanip....
01:27:58matrixcosmic- that sounds like what i was looking at, i wasn't paying too much attention to it
01:29:13matrixthe reason i ask about the socket communications card, is i have an occasional problem with it not being recognized
01:30:09matrixit gets picked up as anonymous memory when that happens, not having reset doesn't help
01:35:43CosmicPenguinmatrix: check the messages very carefully....  cardmgr is very good about telling you its ills...  the most obvious reason for that particular problem is that the CIS was read incorrectly....
01:39:32CosmicPenguinRuss: The problem is that ttyname() was returning (NULL)....  I have no idea why....
01:42:27jacqueshi, what's news?
01:42:59Mornis back (gone 03:50:55)
01:44:37jacques:-\
01:45:22jacqueshi france
01:46:44CosmicPenguinThere's a new Outlook virus......  oh, wait, thats not news....
01:46:51francejacques: hello
01:46:58jacqueswhat's outlook?
01:47:09Mornwho would have guessed?
01:47:28francedoes anybody know if cpan or www.perl.com is the official web site for perl?
01:47:38Morncpan is for modules
01:47:43Mornwww.perl.com is for perl
01:47:50franceMorn: thank you.
01:48:28franceMorn: do you have a short discription to answer "what is perl?"
01:48:42CosmicPenguinIts the scripting language of the Gods....
01:48:44Mornperl is the duct tape of programming
01:49:11france a high-level programming language with an eclectic heritage ??
01:49:42MornI often tell my clients that want to use perl for web scripting...  that perl for web scripting is kinda like the Wright plane, it's really a bicycle, but it got off the ground
01:49:52franceI am looking for a short sentence to put on a web page. :-)
01:50:20CosmicPenguinMorn: thats awesome
01:50:43MornCosmicPenguin: do you want the second part?
01:50:52franceI will be back, singing people at the door.
01:52:06jacques: no idea
01:52:06jacquesibot: outlook?
01:52:12jacquesme neither
01:52:19Mornibot is smart
01:52:34Mornjaques: outlook is an email client from Microsoft.
01:52:44Mornit is so full of holes and bugs to make it very bad
01:52:51franceback
01:52:53jacquesah
01:53:21Mornit's very easily exploited for viruses and such
01:53:31Mornand Outlook Express comes with the OS
01:53:50jacquesonly microsloth could come you pwith an email client that executes email
01:53:57jacquescome you pwith
01:54:00jacquesdammit
01:54:03jacquescome up with
01:54:18CosmicPenguin: huh?
01:54:18CosmicPenguinibot:  outlook
01:54:29jacquesi wonder whose brilliant idea that was
01:54:35CosmicPenguinHe should learn these things by watching the conversation
01:54:41OK, CosmicPenguin.
01:54:41CosmicPenguinibot:  Outlook is a bad idea from M$
01:55:38Mornthey got the name backwards
01:55:43Mornit should be Look Out!
01:55:58CosmicPenguinMorn: I'm getting my own Ipaq tommorrow...  woo-hoo!  That means that I will end up fixing the annoying Pixil bugs that much faster....
01:56:14CosmicPenguinMorn: What was the second part of your perl saying?
01:56:17MornCosmicPenguin: you didn't have your own?
01:56:26CosmicPenguinMorn: No, can you believe that?
01:56:41MornCosmicPenguin: the second part is about PHP 'PHP is a 747 of web scripting, it was built from the ground up to fly'
01:56:48MornCosmicPenguin: no I can't
01:57:24jacquesMorn: i guess you like php better than perl for web scripting?
01:57:28CosmicPenguinMorn: This is true.....  
01:57:39Mornjacques: yes, I'm a php wizard
01:57:47jacquescool
01:57:48Mornand my clients have learned to love php too
01:58:08jacquesnext lang i learn will probably be python
01:58:23franceMorn: :-)
01:58:39MornCosmicPenguin: I just figured out what was causing my qpe installs to fail so badkly
01:58:46franceMorn: hh.org needs a ton of php work>
01:59:02franceany volunteers?
01:59:05CosmicPenguinMorn: Thing is though, when you are not web scripting, the opposite is true... PHP really can't hang in stuff like Makefiles
01:59:10CosmicPenguinMorn: why?
01:59:30MornCosmicPenguin: php can do normal shell scripting though
01:59:48MornCosmicPenguin: the installs failed because all the sym links in the library dirs were broken
01:59:58Morneverything was symlinked to 1 not the real library
02:01:08CosmicPenguinMorn: Bad news...
02:01:27MornCosmicPenguin: I had noticed it in /usr/lib and fixed it
02:01:35Mornbut it was also happening in the plugin dirs
02:01:41Mornwhich caused all the plugins to fail
02:01:49Mornit took 6 installs to figure it out
02:03:04CosmicPenguinMorn: Did they do a copy with out a -a??
02:03:20MornCosmicPenguin: I think it is ipkg that is broken
02:03:25Mornthis happend with other stuff too
02:03:29CosmicPenguinAhhhh....
02:03:45Mornlike the symlinks in /etc/rc2.d/ that should point in ../init.d/  they point at 1 too
02:04:01MornI had the right idea, just didn't fix EVERYTHING
02:06:51Morni
02:06:54Mornooops
02:07:03Mornthought I was in the vim window
02:07:47thekernel's oil was a quart high in a 2.5 quart system...
02:07:59thekerneloops :)
02:09:04Mornwell one good thing about reinstalling qpe 8 times is I can now do all the by hand fixes in my sleep
02:10:12thekernelqpe?
02:10:28Mornqtopia (QT Embedded)
02:10:31Mornfor the ipaq
02:10:34jacquesthekernel: :-\
02:10:37CosmicPenguinOne problem with Pixil is that the apps don't scale beyond a 240x320 screen.... :(
02:11:56thekernelI thought that was a design choice :)
02:14:4423.4375
02:14:44CosmicPenguinibot:  15000 / 640
02:14:49thekernelWe really should fix that though...
02:15:244
02:15:24jacquesibot: two plus two
02:15:37thekernelis off to have a life
02:15:51thekernel: sorry...
02:15:51thekernelibot: 320x240x16/8
02:15:52MornI want ibot to be able to do fib(20)
02:15:542.14285714285714
02:15:54jacquesibot: 15 divided by seven
02:16:02thekernel: what?
02:16:02thekernelibot: 320 x 240 x 16 / 8
02:16:06thekerneldoh!
02:16:08jacques: excuse me?
02:16:08jacquesibot: one divided by zero
02:16:16thekernelone devided by one
02:16:24thekernel: huh?
02:16:24thekernelibot: one devided by one
02:16:28thekerneldoh
02:16:40jacquesthekernel: divided
02:16:501
02:16:50thekernelibot: one divided by one
02:16:57thekerneli,e they are all the same
02:17:12thekernelI raise my middle finger to them both :)
02:19:03i think pi is 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865132823066470938446095505822317253594081284811174502841027019385211055596446229489549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485669234603486104543266482133936072602491412737245870066063155881748815209209628292540917153643678925903600113305305488204665213841469519
02:19:03jacquesibot: pi
02:19:07Mornis this sick or what, I feel like if my computer isn't busy doing something that cpu cycles are wasted, and I can't get them back
02:19:26Morn: i'm not following you...
02:19:26Mornibot obviously didn't calculate it to that many digits that quickly
02:19:55i haven't a clue, jacques
02:19:55jacquesibot: what constants do you know?
02:20:10e is a little more than 2, but less than 3
02:20:10jacquesibot: e
02:20:42CosmicPenguinHey, I tried to use that same answer on a math test once....
02:20:57BZFlagheh
02:21:14CosmicPenguin: huh?
02:21:14CosmicPenguinibot: derivative of e
02:21:17MornI can't believe that at one time they tried to make a law saying pi was only 3
02:21:28CosmicPenguinDid I spell that wrong?
02:21:31jacquesHEH
02:21:38BZFlagsounds like a good law to me. just get nature to change it.
02:21:51jacques: excuse me?
02:21:51jacquesibot: h
02:22:06c is for cookie
02:22:06CosmicPenguinibot: C
02:22:13CosmicPenguinUhhh....
02:22:15jacquescookie!!!
02:22:19jacquesgimme cookie!!!
02:22:27jacquesCOOKIE!
02:22:31CosmicPenguinThat was completely unexpected...
02:22:56i haven't a clue, jacques
02:22:56jacquesibot: what is the speed of light?
02:23:54jacques: wish i knew
02:23:54jacquesibot: speed of sound at sea level on earth?
02:24:03CosmicPenguinme too
02:24:21i don't know, jacques
02:24:21jacquesibot: how far away is Alpha Centauri?
02:24:26jacquessig
02:24:28jacquessigh
02:25:18OK, jacques.
02:25:18jacquesibot: Alpha Centauri is approximately 4.3 light years distant from Earth's solar system.
02:28:41no idea, cosmicpenguin
02:28:41CosmicPenguinibot: how far is a light year?
02:28:50CosmicPenguin: excuse me?
02:28:50CosmicPenguinibot:  Next time, get my name right
02:28:55CosmicPenguinThere you go...
02:29:00jacquesheh
02:29:489.4608e+16
02:29:48CosmicPenguinibot:  3000000000 * (60 * 60 * 24 * 365)
02:29:59CosmicPenguinThats a lot of meters..
02:30:57jacques: huh?
02:30:57jacquesibot: convert 9.4608e+16 to miles
02:31:05jacques: sorry...
02:31:05jacquesibot: convert 9.4608e+16 meters to miles
02:32:32CosmicPenguinthekernel: Got the DT up and running with nano-X... woo-hoo!
02:32:40CosmicPenguinthekernel: fixed the Orderrite... woo-hoo!
02:32:47CosmicPenguinthekernel: Its been a productive day
02:33:45jacquesCosmicPenguin: DT?
02:34:08jacquesCosmicPenguin: you have ts working with latest kernels in nano-x on tuxscreen?
02:34:36CosmicPenguinjacques: unfortunately not.... I'm thinking the beginning of the year if I can't convince thekernel to do it for me
02:34:47jacquesCosmicPenguin: ah :-\
02:36:12CosmicPenguinI love turning off motherboards with a dime.... :)
02:36:22CosmicPenguinI'm headed home, I'll see you all when I get there.....
02:36:49Keyser: what?
02:36:49Keyseribot: 9.4608e16 * 3.048/5280
02:36:58Keyser: huh?
02:36:58Keyseribot: 9.4608e+16 * 3.048/5280
02:37:1854614618181818.2
02:37:18Keyseribot: 94608000000000000 * 3.048/5280
03:16:51CosmicPenguinDid we ever figure out how long a light year was?
03:41:23CosmicPenguinGeez... can that answer be any simpler?
03:55:31matrixa light year is a year is a year
03:56:37CosmicPenguinAm I that lagged?
03:56:57matrixwhich just happens to be how long it's taking me to boot off a floppy
03:57:30matrixcosmicpenguin- if that's a reference to however long it took me to reply, i just got back to the keyboard
03:57:39matrix:p
03:57:48CosmicPenguinAhhh....
03:58:50matrixsorry for the mixup
04:48:38jacquesanyone know how to hot-swap ide drives under linux?
04:53:38Mornis away: watching tv
04:57:04jacquesmaybe there's a better channel for that question
05:01:15jacquesman the ppl on #linux are idiots
07:19:42Sammyis DCC again :)
09:20:51julienhi all
10:28:44randhi julien
10:44:36julienI'm trying to get my tuxscreen working ....
10:44:44julienIt is running, I can get a serial connection
10:44:48julienbut no display :(
10:44:52juliensome idea about that ?
10:47:58randwish i knew julien
10:48:05randi'm just a lurker :)
10:48:19julienhmmm
10:48:40julienI will have to wait until somebody wakes up ...
10:48:52randyup
10:49:20randMorn mentioned the tuxscreens and it looked interest so now i hang out :)
10:49:40julienwhere are you from ?
10:50:37randcalifornia
10:52:07randand you?
10:52:31julienwhat time is it there ?
10:52:54julienbelgium, it is about 12:00
10:53:03randit's almost 3 AM
10:53:18randand it's 6 AM in New York
10:53:50julienhmmm everybody is still sleeping :-)
10:53:57randyeah ...
11:01:42julienIs there a mailing-list for tuxscreen ?
11:13:45randI don't know, julien
11:14:09randMorn gave me the url to tuxscreen (it's www.tuxscreen.org isn't it)...that's about all I know right now
11:14:20randi have it bookmarked
11:30:27filegrumbles
11:30:35file: i don't know
11:30:35fileibot: UGT?
11:30:42fileyes you do!
11:30:52fileno wait... it t'was another bot
14:37:54julienhi GPSFan
14:38:14GPSFanmorning julien:
14:39:00julienafternoon for me :)
14:39:18GPSFanjulien: uk?
14:39:36julienGPSFan: belgium
14:40:12julienI think I've found the problem with my tuxscreen
14:40:34GPSFangood, what was wrong?
14:40:48julienthe wire of the ribbon cable that goes to the HT of the display seems broken
14:40:58julien(but I don't have my tester with me ...)
14:41:38GPSFanby HT you mean High Tension as in backlight high voltage?
14:41:48julienThe "computer" part works ok, serial connection with inferno is fine :-)
14:42:15julienyes High Tension, I didn't know it was for the backlight ...
14:42:32julienis it ?
14:44:13GPSFanwell, if it is 2 silicon rubber wires comming out of the little board to the side of the display, it is high voltage 800-1000V low current, but also about 50KHz. be careful of this, it will break down most scope probes. ans burn fingers if touched.
14:44:30GPSFans/ans/and
14:45:35julienthanks, useful to know :)
14:47:11GPSFanthe other signals for the display all are in standard ribbon cable that goes to 2 connectors on the other side of the display. they are 3.3V logic levels, and 2 analog voltages for contrast, and backlight intensity control.
14:47:43GPSFanthe analog signals are also low voltage.
14:48:48julienok
14:52:52Mornis back (gone 09:59:14)
15:02:37prpplaguemorning all
15:06:04thekernelmorning
15:06:23thekernelDid you know that putting too much oil in a car can do bad things :)
15:06:38prpplaguelol
15:06:58prpplaguei new a girl in high school that 2 quarts of oil in the radiator
15:07:00thekernelold VW engins are tiny
15:08:05thekernelI had 3.5 quarts in a system that apparently only needs 2.5
15:09:35thekernelI was at 3 and thought I didn't have enough after my oil change (My oil light was turning on).  I put another 1/2 quart in and then found that the oil light will come on for both too much and too litle oil
15:10:07thekernelFrom now on I will always check the dipstick
15:11:11thekernelprpplague: I could never make the radiator mistake...  My car is air cooled.
15:11:58thekernelstarts getting ready for work with much haste
15:18:11julienGPSFan: It is not the ribbon cable :(
15:19:21GPSFanjulien: how did you determine that, ring it out?
15:22:52julienGPSFan: it is not broken
15:23:35GPSFanjulien: do you have another tux to swap parts out on?
15:23:49julienyes
15:24:09julienGPSFan: I tried with the other screen, it works perfectly
15:24:51GPSFanjulien: good, try opening up the display assembly and swap out the backlight inverter.
15:25:47julienGPSFan: ok
15:25:50BZFlagdoa unit?
15:30:48GPSFanBZFlag: one of julien's units has a display problem. might be the display, cable, or backlight inverter.
15:36:41BZFlagit showed up that way?
15:37:20GPSFanapparently.
15:38:08BZFlagif so, check cables etc to see that it's not just a loose connection. Try to determine exactly what is brokwn, email me the info and we can probably arrange to cross ship a replacement.
15:39:03BZFlagbb l8r
15:39:23julienGPSFan: That's it !
15:39:55julienGPSFan: I mean the backlight inverter
15:40:32GPSFanjulien: good, BL inverters aren't too reliable, now all you need is a good one. see BZFlag's message above.
15:41:03julienok
15:41:25julienthank you veyr very much !
15:41:46GPSFanjulien: np ;>)
15:48:31thekernelWhat's the sign of a bad backlight inverter?
15:49:48julienthekernel: you see nothing on the screen
15:49:56julienthekernel: ;)
15:50:06thekernelLike, dim nothing or nothing nothing...
15:50:20thekernelabout 2/3 of my screen is really dark
15:51:04julienthekernel: the whole mine is dark, there really nothing at all
15:51:16thekernelDoh
15:51:27thekernelthinks that could be his problem...
16:19:11BZFlagis back.
16:19:34BZFlagGPSFan: where is the inverter?
16:20:37BZFlaghttp://TuxScreen.net/img/mvc-616f.jpg <- the portion on the left?
16:20:37prpplagueanyone know of a frame-relay device for pc/104?
16:21:31julienBZFlag: that's it
16:22:41BZFlagjulien: and we confirmed it's not just a loose connection? ie: you can put the bad one in the good phone and it becomes bad?
16:25:44julienBZFlag: no, I only put the good one in the bad phone ... I try this now
16:28:12BZFlagok. /me waits. ;-)
16:33:41BZFlagwishes some hw type would hack on the display to see if 16 bit color is possible.
16:35:50julienBZFlag: you can forget my mail ... the bad phone becomes a good one
16:36:29julienBZFlag: you were right with loose connection. Do it happen often ?
16:38:31BZFlagnot often, but it does happen. so both phones work now?
16:41:18julienYes, now everything is OK
16:41:26julienI can begin to hack :-)
16:42:03julienthanks a lot :))
16:51:03BZFlagno problem. glad it worked out!
16:58:09GPSFanBZFlag: glad to hear it was a bac connection rather than a bad inverter. and yes the board on the left is the inverter.
16:59:02BZFlagsweet. well I'm outta here. back on later.
16:59:27GPSFanBZFlag: 16bit color on a DSTN (or passive color) LCD is an issue for the display controller (SA1100 in our case) since the shades of grey are done by frame rate modulation.
17:00:08GPSFanoops, he's gone, but ibot remembers.
17:00:43julienGPSFan: what really does ibot ?
17:01:02i am it sucks to be you
17:01:02GPSFanibot: ibot
17:01:16it has been said that i am it sucks to be you
17:01:16GPSFanibot: what are you?
17:01:30julienlol
17:01:51GPSFangreat, now ibot's schitoid.
17:07:50juliengoobye everybody
17:31:28prpplaguemorn Morn
17:31:45Morngutten morgen (I think I spelled that right)
17:41:13prpplagueMorn: break any good code yet today?
17:42:14MornI've discovered a few major bugs in the new familiar distro which cause trouble with qpe
17:47:19CosmicPenguinmmmm.... I get my Ipaq this afternoon....
17:59:56kernelworkdoh
18:00:16kernelworkThat backspace key and enter key really are close...
18:02:20Russ|werktrying to backspace rm -rf /?
18:38:36kernelworkNo, nothing that bad.  doh was in my scrollback buffer :)  I was backspacing it...
18:49:49AlHazWork: what?
18:49:49AlHazWorkibot: doh
18:49:54AlHazWorkoh yeah, no homerisms in ibot
19:09:46ctris away: hack0ring. will be back. at somepoint.
19:27:35prpplagueanyone here purchase a sharp pda yet?
19:27:45filenope.
19:34:59CosmicPenguinprpplague: Some of these guys probably got to play with one before they hit the market.... :)
19:35:12Go to http://www.lart.tudelft.nl/
19:35:12fileibot: Lart?
19:35:24fileThank you, Monsieur Bot.
19:47:50TangentHi all.. what's new this week?
19:48:11filemy new-found want for a WebSurfer set-top box
19:48:32Tangentfile : Are you sure you really want that...
19:48:45fileyes...
19:48:50filewill you sell me one for $35?
19:49:00Tangenterm.... no
19:49:08filewhy, don't got one?
19:49:10TangentPlaystation Linux?
19:49:18filePlaystation? no.
19:51:38Tangentfile : You can pick up a Compaq IA1 for $99 from TigerDirect
19:51:51Tangentfile : Should be good for web browsing
19:54:44AlHazWorkI'd like to have an mp3 player stereo component, and a settop box would make a good chassis for that
19:55:08AlHazWorkbut at this point I'm not holding my breath
19:55:44AlHazWorkall I'd really need is a simple browser to walk through my streaming server's indeces and feed m3u files to irmp3, prolly
20:21:14Russ|werkSome features of ppp include
20:21:24Russ|werk    * works sometimes
20:36:13prpplaguewho here was needing c++ support in uclibc
20:36:14prpplague?
20:40:00prpplaguewonders if everyone is sleeping?
20:40:34pattiejaprpplague: not me (yet)
20:42:10prpplaguepattieja: ha, you don't count anyway, your a ltsp guru!lol
20:42:20pattieja:(
20:43:56prpplaguepattieja: jk
20:44:18prpplaguepattieja: hows the ia-1 doing anyway
20:45:45pattiejaprpplague: really sweet!  (except for really poor video refresh on the mouse, etc.)
20:46:14pattiejaprpplague: I got my optical mouse the other day, plugged it in, within about 20 minutes of hacking the read-only filesystem cramfs image on jailbait, I had a really good working mouse!
20:46:24kernelworkWhat's ia-1?
20:46:26pattiejait rocks
20:46:45pattiejakernelwork: Compaq iPAQ Home Internet Appliance IA-1 also known as the MSN Companion
20:46:55kernelworkOh..  That...
20:47:02prpplaguepattieja: i've got to get time to load mine with the tcsx software
20:47:04kernelworkYou use ltsp?
20:47:09pattiejayep
20:47:17prpplagueuses a hybrid ltsp
20:47:17pattiejaprpplague: should be a no-brainer
20:47:35kernelworkI'd like to setup my debian box to be a terminal server...
20:47:50prpplaguepattieja: tcsx standard is still running 2.2.14 kernel, we haven't had a need to upgrade
20:47:57kernelworkIsn't most of it just debian config files?
20:47:59pattiejakernelwork: no problem.  The latest debs for LTSP 3.0.0 are comin' out fairly soon, I think
20:48:02kernelworker..  X config files
20:48:41kernelworkWhat I really need to do is get a client machine setup properly
20:48:47pattiejakernelwork: that, plus quite a bit more.  You can run local apps as well.  So you have to get the libraries and dependencies worked out, etc.
20:49:00kernelworkohh... local app you say
20:49:15pattiejabut it will run remote apps from the application server out of the box, no sweat
20:49:43kernelworkDoes the user need to authenticate against the app server?
20:49:47pattiejaI'm sweatin' tryin' to get NSSE installed, though.  Didn't read all the directions properly.  Forgot one little patch.
20:49:57kernelworkNSSE?
20:50:02pattiejakernelwork: yep.  Or whatever the app. server is authenticating against.
20:50:14pattiejaNeTraverse Server Standard Edition (Win4Lin)
20:50:22kernelworkAh..
20:51:32kernelworkjattieja: is there a line I can put in my sources.list file so I can get LTSP debs?
20:51:59kernelworkdoesn't download .debs he apt-get's them :)
20:52:19pattiejaI don't personally use debian, so I don't know where the deb packages are located.  sorry
20:52:33kernelworkI'm sure I can find them then...
20:52:36pattiejathey might just happen to be located on the sourceforge download site
20:52:59kernelworknah..  That would be a silly place for them :)
20:53:45pattiejawhat'ya know, there they are
20:53:50pattiejahttp://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17723
20:54:36kernelworkRight after RTFM should be SUAL "Shut Up And Look"
20:55:03pattiejawho me?
20:55:07kernelworkNo me
20:56:03kernelworkltsp uses x 3.3.6?
20:56:32kernelworkIs that for the terminal itself?
20:56:39kernelworkretracts the last question.
20:57:07kernelworkIt's a shame that some of us don't realize how dumb a question is until we read it
20:57:15kernelworkie. me
21:00:30prpplaguei.e. what year did the war of 1812 occure in?
21:04:29pattiejaprpplague: wasn't that in 1811?
21:04:35pattieja:)
21:22:42prpplaguepattieja: yes i believe you are correct
21:24:34prpplaguewho here was needing c++ support in uclibc?
21:24:42CosmicPenguinpattieja: no, no...  1812 was when they wrote the story about the war.... the actual war happened 10 years earlier... :)
21:24:48CosmicPenguinprpplague: Who here doesn't need it?
21:25:34prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i'm trolling for what ppl what to do with it, i've agreed to pay andersee for to add it to uclibc
21:31:35prpplaguehttp://www.militaryheritage.com/1812.htm
21:50:21pattiejaprpplague: I was just joking.  What it really was was a ploy to make another song
21:50:29pattieja:)
21:50:39CosmicPenguineroo
21:50:50CosmicPenguinwrong keyboard again.... thats twice...
21:51:15filethwaps his telephone company
21:51:49kernelworkwatches the telephone company respond by grinding file into small bits "We are the phone company, we don't have to care"

21:52:35fileand they messed up my cellular account for a week
21:53:18fileI'm switching to Rogers AT&T.
22:00:03kernelworkI think I'll switch over to TGM for my phone service...
22:00:11kernelworkTGM being The Grand Monopoly
22:00:29CosmicPenguinkernelwork: Don't forget.... they're not TGM east of Colorado....
22:04:09kernelworkDo they still suffer like we do?
22:08:38bzflag was last seen on #tuxscreen 5 hours, 9 minutes and 36 seconds ago, saying: sweet. well I'm outta here. back on later. [Fri Dec 21 16:59:02 2001]
22:08:38nelsonibot: seen bzflag?
22:10:30EGg0is away: I'm painting myself blue and running naked in the street.
22:10:59CosmicPenguinTinyX takes sooooo long to build the first time
22:30:26mallumCosmicPenguin: did you order leauge of gentlemen ?
22:30:31Keyseranyone have an opinion of mandrake?
22:30:34file: no idea
22:30:34fileibot: WebSurfer?
22:30:40fileKeyser: Fun.
22:31:02Keyserfile: fun?
22:31:15fileit's more of a Graphical Linux distro
22:31:23filenothing bad with it
22:31:28Keyseri've only used SuSE myself, but I've been hearing about the "gaming edition" of mandrake
22:31:44fileuh huh
22:32:02filewell try it
22:32:16Keyserthe source code for wineX is available for download, so i could (in theory) use it with my current distro
22:32:58AlHazWorkMandrake is like RedHat but with baby chickens & bunnies
22:33:06fileAlHazWork: lol
22:33:07AlHazWorkand about an inch of marshmallow creme
22:33:12fileGive me a good ol' tcsh prompt anyday.
22:33:12Keyseryay!  i love chickens and bunnies.
22:33:25Keyserhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/winex
22:33:27AlHazWorkand candy sprinkles on top
22:33:56fileI want a WebSurfer box...
22:34:02AlHazWorkfile: You've said that
22:34:09fileI know
22:34:10AlHazWorkfile: Have you considered the AOL TV box?
22:34:11fileI saw it alot
22:34:22fileAlHazWork: WebSurfer is cheaper
22:34:24Keyserwebsurfer box?
22:34:25AlHazWorkfile: Not as much ram, and you can't upgrade the ram, but just as fast, and it comes with a harddrive
22:34:26AlHazWorkwhere?
22:34:41fileEBay.
22:34:44AlHazWorkI can get an aol-tv box for $70 on ebay right now. can't find a websurfer pro for less than $100
22:34:55AlHazWorkI can get four aol-tv boxes for $70/ea actually
22:34:59filewhat's the specs on the AOL-TV boxes?
22:35:20AlHazWorkfile: same cpu, same chipset, 5gb hd, 8 or 12 megs of ram depending on random chance
22:35:25AlHazWorkbut the ram is soldered to the board
22:35:28fileuh huh
22:35:28AlHazWorkno slots
22:35:38fileneat'o\
22:35:43AlHazWorkone usb port, etc
22:35:57filecan you point me to a URL with info about getting Linux on it?
22:35:59AlHazWorkthe "hack" is literally to pop the harddrive in a pc and install linux on it
22:36:05filesips on his pop
22:36:07AlHazWorkhten shove it back in the aol-tv
22:36:21AlHazWork'cause it has normal pc bios on it
22:36:26fileneat
22:36:40Keyserget a book pc, with an i810 MB, ~500mhz celeron (so the HSF can be smaller and quieter).  they have 3d video, tv out, DVD drive, onboard sound and LAN.
22:36:52fileKeyser: cost?
22:37:00Keyser300+
22:37:03AlHazWorkKeyser: I can't figure out where to actually aquire one of those
22:37:04filetoo much
22:37:07prpplagueKeyser: argh too bookpc i've had lots of problems
22:37:10AlHazWorkthey used to be cheaper than that, too
22:37:25Keyseroops, i meant 300?, not 300+
22:37:39AlHazWorkKeyser: I've considered getting an NLX chassis, mb, etc, and just using that
22:37:43AlHazWorksemi-commodity parts, after all
22:37:44fileI can imagine myself leaving my TV on with the AOL TV on too, with an xterm session open
22:37:47AlHazWorkand roughly as small, some of 'em
22:37:57Keyseralhazwork: yeah, that's the same thing.
22:38:02AlHazWorkTVs make lousy terminals
22:38:17filedoesn't matter to me
22:38:17AlHazWorkKeyser: the BookPC boxes i saw were proprietary
22:38:22AlHazWorkNLX is an intel formfactor standard
22:38:36prpplaguehttp://www.rise.com.tw/booksize.htm
22:38:38fileAlHazWork: can you point me to a page regarding the AOL-TV?
22:38:40prpplaguecheck those out
22:38:46Keyserreally? that's odd.  i've seen NLX and microATX, and LPX book pcs
22:39:11mallumhttp://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1311320010
22:39:13AlHazWorkhttp://www.linux-hacker.net/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UltraBoard.pl?Action=ShowPost&Board=aoltv&Post=1&Idle=0&Sort=0&Order=Descend&Page=0&Session=
22:39:21AlHazWorkthat's about all i've seen
22:39:25fileI'm there right now
22:39:29AlHazWorkKeyser: I'm refering to the ones that say "BookPC" on the box
22:39:40AlHazWork(tm)
22:39:50Keyseroh.  i was using 'book pc' as a generic name
22:40:08filethinks this AOL-TV is nice
22:40:14prpplaguewas talking about "BookPC"tm
22:41:51filehrm
22:41:59AlHazWorkKeyser: the ram is very limited tho
22:42:04AlHazWorker, file:
22:42:09fileyeah I know...
22:42:14fileX Windows would run... shaky
22:42:17AlHazWorkI'm undecided, myself
22:42:26AlHazWorkI'll prolly just get a small quiet pc
22:42:43filehow much can you get an AOL-TV for?
22:43:43Keyserif you search for "book pc" on pricewatch, there are many that use an intel 810 MB, for $150-200, without CPU, mem, HD
22:44:52AlHazWorkfile: There are a few on ebay with a buy-it-now of $75, and one with a $50 or so b-i-n
22:45:01fileuh huh
22:45:04filenot bad
22:45:17filewe'll see...
22:45:18AlHazWorkKeyser: And theoretically I could stick a cyrixIII cpu in there with a huge heatsink and no fan
22:45:30AlHazWorkKeyser: and I've got a flash drive i can boot it off of . . .
22:46:19AlHazWorkNot a fantastic CPU, but heck, if all it has to do is play mp3 streams from my server upstairs . .
22:46:33AlHazWorkthe two drives in my tivo are loud enough as it is
22:46:38Keyserit might even boot off the network
22:46:45filehas never used/seen a TiVo before
22:48:31Keyseri guess it doesn't even need a HD.  so 150 for the box with MB, floppy, and DVD drive, $20 for memory, $50 for a CPU
22:48:34AlHazWorkfile: if you watch tv, tivo will change your life, basically.
22:48:52fileAlHazWork: uh huh
22:49:06filelooks at pictures of his new cellphone, it's in the mail.
22:49:10AlHazWorkit takes the linearity out of watching tv
22:49:20AlHazWorkyou can hit pause and go do something else, etc
22:49:28filei think I had a dream once that I had a TiVo...
22:49:57AlHazWorkyou can set it up to record the show you wanna watch automatically, so you never have to think "Damn, i'm gonna miss Foo because I'm working late"
22:50:08filedoesn't work
22:50:17fileI beg for stuff
22:50:21filelike I got my PDA for free :)
22:50:36Keyserhow's that working out for you?  begging, that is.
22:50:44filepretty good.
22:51:16AlHazWorkI used to know a guy who grew up to be a bum
22:51:28fileI only beg for stuff cause I'm young
22:51:32AlHazWorkgot tired of his parents asking if he was going to eventually do something or just be a bum all his life
22:51:36fileanother year...
22:52:02AlHazWorklast I heard he was living in a condemned building in newark or something
22:52:05Keyserhow old are you?
22:52:09file15.
22:52:35Keysereek.  i feel old
22:52:47filehaha
22:54:38AlHazWorkanyway, I'm going on vacation soon, so that stuff has to wait a few months before I'll have cash to throw around again
22:54:44fileuh huh
22:55:12fileROAD RAGE!
22:56:23AlHazWorkbut I'll probably get a really small pc and underclock a cyrixIII cpu in it and have it boot off of flash or just straight off the network. or, heck, a floppy. as few moving parts as possible being the general idea.
22:56:35fileuh huh
22:56:53Russ|werkhey andersee
22:57:05fileI just want something to play with :)
22:57:15AlHazWorkOh, I'm so over just having things to play with
22:57:26filewell then send me some stuff to play with :p
22:57:30AlHazWorkcome within 50 feet of my place and I'll throw a dozen techie toys at you
22:57:50filelike?
22:58:02AlHazWorkIdunno . . . . old sparcstation, weird peripherals . . .
22:58:12filehandheld stuff.
22:58:19AlHazWorkyou can hold it in your hand if you like
22:58:22filea TuxScreen?
22:58:22AlHazWork:)
22:58:26AlHazWorkno, those are mine.
22:58:31filebah :p
22:58:50fileme want me want!
22:59:17AlHazWorkif i wanted to have a way to play games on my big TV i'd, er, just put the Q3A cd in my dreamcast . . .
22:59:27fileuh huh
22:59:37Keyserholy crikees.  i'm getting 150kbps on a mandrake ftp mirror.  and there are 90 other users on it
22:59:55AlHazWorkyeah, the other 90 people are prolly getting 2kbps 'cause of you :P
23:00:16Keyseri'm at 3% of the 1st CD, already

23:06:32fileKeyser: good for you
23:07:21fileI should setup the paging perl script for my new phone...
23:07:35fileso annoying people can page me while I'm at school
23:07:43filelike *randomly chooses* Keyser
23:08:29Keyserhmm.  annoying?  insults like that roll off me like water off a ducks back.  for i already have 12% of the 1st mandrake CD!
23:08:37Keyser13%
23:08:44filelaughs
23:09:58Keyser14%
23:16:04CosmicPenguinandersee: That library perl script works like a million bucks...
23:22:22fileBZFlag: Hiya
23:25:33filepoke poke?
23:25:39AlHazWorkOn the Twelth Day of Christmas / My network gave to me: Twelve kiddies scripting / Eleven users spamming / Ten trojans listening / Nine routers crashing / Eight worms still probing / Seven servers DOSing / Six switches freezing / Five flapping routes / Four calling NOCs / Three bad hubs / Two fiber cuts / And a virus on my brand new XP
23:25:53CosmicPenguinDon't poke the wrong values, file, you might crash the machine... :)
23:26:01filehaha
23:26:10prpplaguelol
23:26:17prpplagueAlHazWork: like that one
23:26:40fileAlHazWork: you must really be bored
23:27:03AlHazWorkfile: I was bored enough to reflow the text that someone pasted in several lines in another channel
23:27:11fileuh huh
23:27:14anderseeCosmicPenguin: what perl script?
23:27:38anderseeCosmicPenguin: Oh, the one I sent you to locate needed libs?
23:28:09CosmicPenguinandersee: Yep.... I love it... I'm still modifiying it to work automagically in buildroot, when I get it done, I'll send it back to you....
23:28:36CosmicPenguinOf course, it still misses the libnss_ stuff, but at least thats a known special case
23:29:03anderseeYeah, thats dl_opened...
23:29:44CosmicPenguinWho needs DNS anyway?
23:29:48CosmicPenguin:-)
23:30:07anderseeBTW, I got some feedback from a guy with some very nice ideas.  I'm planning on reworking the buildroot makefile to eliminate all those nasty shell fragments.
23:30:19file:) /* require dns;
23:30:25CosmicPenguinAnd replace them with what?
23:30:39CosmicPenguinBinaries?
23:31:57CosmicPenguinI do have one idea, though - I would like for the download(s) to happen all at once at the beginning so you don't have to stay attached to the network through the entire build
23:32:16ctrhey CosmicPenguin
23:32:24CosmicPenguinctr: How goes the scripting?
23:32:37ctrCosmicPenguin: once i have got back to my house in bham (after new years) i should have ferite built for arm
23:32:46ctrCosmicPenguin: there seems to be a number of people interested :)
23:32:50CosmicPenguinctr: schweet!
23:33:28ctrCosmicPenguin: hopefully (when i get round to it) it should be possible to profile a sciprt, and then when you next run it, ferite will adjust memory to be optimal :)
23:33:57ctris making ferite highly scaleble
23:34:08filehrm?
23:34:10filewhat's ferit?
23:34:12fileferite.
23:34:16filewhatever.
23:34:27ctr: excuse me?
23:34:27ctribot: search ferite
23:34:33ferite is a cool programming langauge developed by boris, it can be found at http://ferite.org
23:34:33ctribot: ferite?
