14:17.40plarsengood morning
14:17.48plarsenhey, I'm not alone today ;)
14:17.55jsmithNope... I'm here!
14:18.09jsmithstickster is in Seattle, I think
14:18.16jsmithquigley is obviously still asleep
14:18.24jsmithEveryone else is hiding
14:19.04plarsenhehe
14:19.22plarsenWe should name our group "The Austriches" :D
14:19.35plarsenPutting their heads in the sand is their way of life .....
14:20.00jsmithExactly!
14:41.13*** join/#fredlug stickster (n=stickste@fedora/stickster)
14:51.25jsmithWelcome back, stickster_afk
15:38.35*** join/#fredlug stickster (n=stickste@fedora/stickster)
15:45.11sticksterHi jsmith-away
15:45.22sticksterI guess my wife rebooted the home system at some point
15:47.04jsmith-awaystickster: No problem
15:48.57sticksterjsmith: Did I miss anything good?
15:49.05sticksterAnybody make the Tuesday meeting?
15:50.33sticksterUgh, Evolution has big problems with the latest updates in Rawhide.
15:53.04jsmithstickster: No, nothing new... just plarsen and I commented on how we were the only ones in the channel this morning
15:53.25jsmithstickster: I'm using Rawhide on a test box here, but no way I'm gonna let it screw up my email!
15:57.02sticksterhaha
15:57.26sticksterYeah, the newest update kills GPG signing. Since I use that for all my Fedora email, that's kind of a problem. :-)
15:57.59jsmithThat would be problematic, yes :-)
15:58.28sticksterBZ 338191
15:58.37jsmithReminds me of a bug in Asterisk... RSA authentication is now broken because somebody decided to null-terminate the buffers, which meant chopping off the last digit of the RSA key
15:59.06jsmithTime to reboot and see...
16:00.14sticksternice
16:03.32jsmithNope
16:03.36jsmithStill crashes
16:04.25jsmithBZ 320941
16:06.54sticksterbugger
16:07.17jsmithI can run it manually, but then I've gotta change resolv.conf, etc. manually
16:07.34sticksterugh, that's the suck.
16:07.40jsmithSo I installed Rawhide on this box to do two things... check out the new NetworkManager, and play with Xen
16:07.52jsmithBoth are b0rked
16:08.01sticksterOK, openvnc notwithstanding, though, NM is working better for me this release
16:08.04jsmithBut that's OK... it's rawhide
16:08.29jsmithstickster: Mind if I ask you a DocBook question?  (You may not know the answer)
16:08.58sticksterplease, and I probably won't :-D
16:09.22jsmithOK, so I'm writing a manual in DocBook for work
16:09.27jsmithAnd using FOP to turn it into a PDF
16:10.03jsmithAnd it's working great, except for the headers at the top of each page.
16:10.20jsmithThey get scrunched into the width of the indentation of the body text
16:10.24jsmithHere, let me grab a picture
16:11.10sticksterYou're probably beyond my meager skills already, but yeah, let's look at it
16:11.57jsmithhttp://www.asteriskdocs.org/book6.png
16:12.36sticksterHm, so it's like the box model has it as a first column instead of a first row.
16:12.39sticksterIf that makes any sense.
16:12.48sticksterI am a FOP/PDF idiot so bear with me.
16:12.55jsmithNo problem...
16:13.05jsmithI'll try xmlto in the meantime
16:13.16sticksterI think that's probably worse if anything
16:13.32sticksterIgnacio mentioned that we ought to look at libcairo, which has PDF rendering as a built-in function
16:13.47sticksterI have no idea how that would work, but he seems to think it's very promising
16:15.58jsmithIgnacio submitted an xmlroff package to extras (it supposedly uses cairo), but it hasn't been accepted yet
16:16.04jsmith(granted, the spec file needs some cleanup)
16:17.03sticksterOoo, I need to look at that
16:17.18sticksterSo, in short, I have no answer for your DocBook question, though.
16:17.35sticksterSorry, I'm very much an idiot at this level.
16:19.19jsmithNo problem... I've asked in #docbook, but so far there's absolute silence in that channel
16:19.27jsmithDo you think Ignacio would know?
16:19.28stickster:-(
16:19.45sticksterIt's definitely worth a shot, he's an ace in a lot of areas
18:56.01plarsenjsmith: By any chance, do you know what compat-libstdc++-devel does/did?
18:57.02jsmithUnfortunately, yes
18:57.29jsmithSo let's say you have a binary that was compiled against an older version of the standard C libraries.
18:57.54jsmithBut since the program was written, Linux has evolved, and the standard C libraries have changed to the point where they're no longer compatible with the old ones
18:58.18jsmithThe compat-libstdc++-devel libraries basically provide the old libraries so that the old code can still work
18:58.21jsmith(Does that make sense?)
19:11.15plarsenwell, sorta knew that basic def
19:11.22plarsenHOWEVER, it's poofed in RHES4 :(
19:11.31plarsenAnd I wonder why the -devel is gone but the non -devel is still there
19:11.35plarsenAre they the same now?
19:11.53plarsenIn other words can I ignore the app crying for the -devel to be there if I have the non-devel?
19:12.09plarsenI hate being at work - ppl bug me all the time ;)
19:12.10plarsenhehe
19:12.13plarsenSorry for the late reply
19:12.23plarsenjsmith: ping ;)
19:17.07jsmithplarsen: Pong
19:17.12jsmith(Sorry, was eating my lunch)
19:20.52plarsennp
19:22.39jsmithplarsen: I'm pretty sure I've used it in RHEL 4
19:22.44jsmithplarsen: Hold please...
19:23.04plarsenhttp://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/release-notes/es-x86/
19:23.10plarsenIt's under removed packages
19:23.13plarsenup2date cannot find it.
19:23.22jsmithI think it got version numbers added to the end
19:23.30plarsenit does
19:23.36plarsenbut it's still not there ;)
19:24.19jsmithTry compat-libstdc++-33
19:27.58plarsenGot that
19:28.16plarsenIs that a replacement?
19:39.13*** join/#fredlug quigleymd (n=Matt@24-53-142-5-st.chvlva.adelphia.net)
19:40.45jsmithplarsen: Yeah, I think so
19:40.48jsmithquigleymd!
19:45.31plarsenwell, let's see ;)
19:45.43plarsenStarting the big oracle install telling it to "forget about it" :)
19:57.40plarsenWell, link succeeded :)
19:57.55plarsenHad to hardwire their config files. They've removed the "ignore" option in the installer :(
20:33.21quigleymdjsmith: mr smith!
20:34.19jsmithquigleymd: See private message
