01:27.18nomb_stickster: do you have any idea why glade is telling me to check for glad-- when i try to use c++ code for the gui?
01:29.28sticksterUm, because that package is where the C++ glue for Glade is?
01:29.46sticksterI thought Glade only did C and Perl by itself
01:30.13nomb_not sure
01:30.25nomb_are you any good at c++ im very stuck
01:30.29jsmithThat's my understanding
01:30.41jsmithUh... I haven't done much in C++ in about 6 years... why?
01:30.50jsmithWhatcha trying to do?
01:31.38nomb_im making a c++ program to make using dm-crypt and luks easier
01:31.46nomb_then im going to make a gui for it and host it
01:31.48nomb_however
01:32.17nomb_and to make it easier ill have u look at my forum post cause that has code on it already
01:32.54sticksternomb_: I think that exists already, doesn't it? Why not work on the existing code instead?
01:32.58nomb_oh and do u guys know what the package is called i need to install to have glade to c++ code?
01:33.04sticksterThe package is luks-tools in Extras if I remember correctly
01:33.16nomb_as a gui?
01:33.35sticksterYup
01:34.53nomb_oh ><
01:34.53nomb_well i still gotta figure out the error or I wont sleep here is the link
01:34.53sticksternomb_: What you need might be libglademm24 and/or libglademm24-devel
01:34.53nomb_http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=537815
01:34.54nomb_ill try those
01:35.16nomb_but ya if u could take a look for me that'd be great
01:35.42sticksternomb_: Have you tried running gdb to see where the segfault is?
01:36.09nomb_ya its where i use the variable to create the char array
01:36.23nomb_it seg faults but keeps going
01:37.05nomb_basically if i use the variable + any number it seg faults where if i just put in a number it doesn't and i don't know why
01:39.30sticksternomb_: My bet is that command.length() is not what you want, probably you're adding 30 to a pointer or something
01:39.39sticksterMight depend on what command actually is
01:39.42nomb_oh
01:39.51sticksterIf you do gdb, why don't you try printing some of the variables as you go
01:39.55sticksterprint/x command
01:40.00sticksterprint/x *command
01:40.01sticksterand so forth.
01:40.20nomb_cause someone just told me about gdb today and i don't know how to use it much :D
01:40.28sticksterHeh :-)
01:40.49nomb_i like programming but everything i wanna make is already done.  It is discouraging
01:40.50sticksterSo, that can be really useful for figuring out these problems.  I hate using C++ for this very reason
01:41.10sticksterThe damn language gets in the way of what you want to do.  It's why I use Python on the rare occasions where I need to write something to get work done
01:41.33sticksterJust my $0.02, there's something to be said for the speed :-)
01:42.00nomb_another language to learn... you don't have a spare book i could borrow do u?
01:42.02sticksterOnce the program is doing the right thing, you can always rewrite
01:42.06sticksternomb_: Sure!
01:42.15sticksternomb_: http://diveintopython.com/ <-- free book
01:42.20sticksterThat's the one I used
01:42.29sticksterOh crap!
01:42.31nomb_oh cool its all online?
01:42.36sticksterThey changed their site!
01:42.49sticksternomb_: http://diveintopython.org/ <-- free book
01:42.50sticksterSorry.
01:43.05sticksterThey both used to work, author must have dropped the .com domain
01:43.19nomb_oh ok
01:43.35nomb_so i can't use glade then to make a gui can i?
01:43.56sticksterSure you can
01:44.09nomb_i thought it just did c, c++, and perl
01:44.11sticksterGlade generates an XML file that defines all the interface stuff, and you can read that in with Python to use it
01:44.20nomb_oh
01:44.35nomb_i really don't know anthing about gtk this was a learn as u go project
01:44.37sticksterIt has pieces that generate C/C++ framework code for you... but the Python is dead-simple to do yourself
01:45.02sticksternomb_: Just Google "glade python" and go to town.  There are lots of easy tutorials out there for this part.
01:45.24sticksterI'm not going to pretend that I'm a GUI programming expert, but I even started a little project of my own this way, and I could get started very quickly!
01:45.57nomb_i installed luks-tools and all it gave me was a glade file
01:46.36sticksternomb_: Really? You don't see a list of files if you do "rpm -ql luks-tools"?
01:46.51sticksterTry running gnome-luks-format and tell me what you see.
01:47.13nomb_oh ><
01:47.27nomb_so ql lists things in an rpm thats neat
01:48.23sticksternomb_: and, conversely, rpm -qf will tell you which RPM package owns a particular file
01:48.46nomb_that program makes u do a device like hda it doesn't have any options to create it in a container
01:49.21sticksternomb_: So download the source, and send the author(s) a patch
01:49.39sticksterI'm sure they'd be interested in extending the functionality. That's the power of FOSS.
01:49.55sticksterRather than writing your own from scratch, if you find something that's 85% of what you want, add the other 15% and share it
01:49.56nomb_true
01:50.08nomb_my c++ program already can do all of the container aspect of it
01:50.17sticksterShouldn't be hard to integrate then.
01:50.25nomb_i just wanted to fix the stupid seg fault thing
01:50.29nomb_and i dont' know how
01:50.44sticksterLike I said, either "watch" or simply line-by-line examine the variables
01:50.48jsmithsegfaults usually happen when you write memory outside of what you're supposed to
01:50.54sticksterjsmith++
01:50.57jsmithUsually if you write past the end of an array
01:51.06sticksterI meant:
01:51.10stickster~jsmith++
01:51.24nomb_thats what i read but i added 30 to the array which was already bigger i don't understand it
01:51.48nomb_did you look at my post jsmith?
01:51.58jsmithAnother way to segfault is to follow a null pointer
01:52.05jsmithDid your program generate a core file?
01:52.15nomb_?
01:52.18nomb_core file?
01:52.51sticksterAnjuta is one, there are others.
01:53.04nomb_i saw anjuta it look bad a$$
01:53.16nomb_jsmith can i send u my cpp file?
01:53.30jsmithnomb_: Type "ulimit -c unlimited", then crash your program
01:53.47jsmithIt may create a file called "core.54321", where 54321 is the process id of your program
01:54.05jsmithSure, send it my way... jaredsmith <at> jaredsmith <d0t> net
01:54.12nomb_well it doesn't crash it keeps going and creates the file but it prints out seg fualt to the terminal
01:57.29nomb_ok sent
02:04.55nomb_hey paul what is your email / gpg key again?
02:05.04nomb_or you can email me
02:05.36sticksterstickster at gmail
02:22.07nomb_oh wow i don't understand anything from the example program in that book on the first page...  i feel a headache coming on
03:36.32plarsenstickster: you around?

15:57.33plarsenI'm still not sure if we have a topic for Tuesday's meeting?
16:00.52plarsenBtw. I read an interesting article in Network Magazine that said that Linux is right now running on about 25% of all "smart phones" world wide. Mostly outside the US. They expect by 2010 it will be a much bigger "threat" to WinCE and PalmOS
16:06.52jsmithAnd Symbian... don't forget Symbian
16:07.06jsmith(since Symbian claims to be running on about half the smartphones out therer)

16:52.48IrishW0lfany ideas?
16:55.57plarsenIrishW0lf: does she have VPN installed/configured?
16:56.26IrishW0lfno,not that i am aware of
16:56.30plarsenIrishW0lf: Most likely it's running even if inactive. There's no gateway, so it sounds like it's just standing by.
16:56.55plarsenCheck your network setup (properties on the interface)
16:57.05plarsenThey'll show what VPN has been installed on the interface.
16:57.10IrishW0lfok, any ideas where i might find the client
16:57.46IrishW0lftrouble is, i didn't see any
16:58.14IrishW0lfbut, i'll double check
16:58.22plarsenFirst off, it's a network protocol. So it will show up in the protocol list for each interface.
16:58.33IrishW0lfgotcha
16:58.34plarsenIt might be listed on multiple interfaces, if you have multiple nics or services.
16:58.50IrishW0lfok
16:59.49IrishW0lfthat sure gives me more info than i had before, thanks
17:00.13plarsenAlso, check what services you have running. Windows have a nasty tendency to have every piece of software running as services, even if they're not in use. "Just so they are ready when you want to use them".
17:00.38IrishW0lfhaha, that's funny but true
17:01.24IrishW0lfthanks, Peter
