| 00:00.25 | skugg | dankolb_, flaky line again? |
| 00:00.27 | dankolb_ | Yeah |
| 00:00.45 | Jenson | BT got me once tonight too, never gets me |
| 00:00.59 | dankolb_ | Probably overloaded network or something |
| 00:01.09 | skugg | you don't have access to a machine you can put a screen session on? |
| 00:01.30 | skugg | if i didn't have that, i'd be in deep shit |
| 00:01.41 | skugg | dankolb, so why don't you use it? :) |
| 00:01.50 | dankolb | This requires using ssh over a modem |
| 00:01.52 | dankolb | Which is painful |
| 00:02.07 | skugg | ah. too true. |
| 00:02.20 | skugg | i'm using ssh over isdn -- just about bearable. |
| 00:02.41 | skugg | try using blowfish though, it's said to lessen the lag a bit... |
| 00:03.56 | dankolb | I could try |
| 00:04.08 | skugg | i just re-logged in using blowfish now... |
| 00:04.11 | dankolb | I'm on fewer IRC channels though, with dank_work (do a /whois on both) |
| 00:04.19 | Tarragon | I use ssh over cable |
| 00:04.20 | skugg | don't think I notice much, but maybe a hint... |
| 00:05.03 | skugg | dan, i see |
| 00:05.20 | dankolb | BitchX doesn't seem to be wonderful at the multiple-channel thing |
| 00:05.39 | skugg | i try to cut down the amount of channels i frequent... |
| 00:05.44 | skugg | it's only three at the moment |
| 00:06.02 | skugg | resudaed, try irssi... hot tip. |
| 00:06.13 | resudaed | irssi? |
| 00:06.25 | Tarragon | Just 3? is that normal |
| 00:06.25 | dankolb | I know. I should try irssi |
| 00:06.26 | skugg | http://irssi.org |
| 00:06.26 | resudaed | console based? |
| 00:06.29 | dankolb | Lots of people use it |
| 00:06.35 | skugg | my fav irc clien |
| 00:06.39 | skugg | resudaed, of course. |
| 00:07.02 | skugg | (there's a graphical front end for those that prefer it though) |
| 00:07.04 | resudaed | good, that's what I need |
| 00:07.12 | skugg | resudaed, apt-get install irssi-text |
| 00:08.03 | Jenson | I hate BitchX enough to hate console.... |
| 00:08.04 | skugg | good beginner-docs here: http://irssi.org/?page=beginner |
| 00:08.41 | resudaed | thanks |
| 00:08.51 | skugg | tried it once, never looked back |
| 00:08.56 | resudaed | cool |
| 00:09.08 | resudaed | (like me and Jack Daniels) |
| 00:09.14 | skugg | same with openbox vs. blackbox |
| 00:09.19 | skugg | heh :P |
| 00:09.30 | resudaed | openbox over blackbox? |
| 00:10.01 | skugg | openbox rocks the socks off blackbox, for my use. |
| 00:10.16 | resudaed | major differences? |
| 00:11.17 | skugg | not really, just more options in the settings, cleaner handling of keygrabbing etc (openbox use epist instead of bbkeys) |
| 00:12.15 | Tarragon | Just trying aewm and fluxbox |
| 00:12.32 | skugg | by the way, if you have trouble with multiple _channels_ in bx, note that even multiple server setup is a breeze with irssi. i'm on undernet/opn constantly |
| 00:13.11 | skugg | i like that you can completely hide the 'slit' in openbox, for this you have to hack the source in blackbox |
| 00:13.29 | dankolb | I just have two BitchX sessions |
| 00:14.25 | skugg | also openbox has snap-to-grid/snap-to-edge when moving, which i value. not that i use it much, but the few times I use it it's nice :) |
| 00:15.27 | skugg | dankolb, that's a solution. but it shouldn't be necessary -- irssi makes it dead easy to have multiple windows/servers at the same time. |
| 00:15.44 | dankolb | Yeah, I'm just not quite sure how to configure it |
| 00:16.51 | dankolb | Are you configured with multiple servers? |
| 00:17.17 | skugg | it takes no configuration :) just say /connect server && /connect otherserver |
| 00:17.38 | dankolb | What about automatically joining channels? |
| 00:17.47 | skugg | the active server is switched with ^X, just type /j gllug |
| 00:17.58 | skugg | f.ex to join a channel |
| 00:18.12 | skugg | automatically joining channels on client startup? |
| 00:18.17 | skugg | that what you mean? |
| 00:18.26 | resudaed | I really need something to take my rage out on at the moment |
| 00:19.04 | Tarragon | XP |
| 00:19.21 | Jenson | Damn I gotta go, BT 2 hour disconnect |
| 00:19.23 | Jenson | See yaz later |

| 00:53.51 | EtherRex | hello all |
| 00:54.01 | zachary | Evening EtherRex |
| 00:54.08 | EtherRex | good evening |
| 00:54.17 | EtherRex | first time here |
| 00:54.23 | EtherRex | extreme linux newbie |
| 00:54.39 | zachary | We all were at some time. |
| 00:54.48 | EtherRex | yeah, guess so :-) |
| 00:55.03 | zachary | How are you this evening? |
| 00:55.12 | EtherRex | good, but frustrated |
| 00:55.18 | EtherRex | you? |
| 00:55.31 | Tarragon | Why frustrated? |
| 00:55.50 | EtherRex | trying to get my alcatel speedtouch usb to work with Mandrake 9 |
| 00:56.22 | zachary | There is a slight bug with mandrake. It fails to complete the config. Where are you located? |
| 00:56.38 | EtherRex | Dalston London |
| 00:56.48 | zachary | It just takes a little hack. |
| 00:56.59 | EtherRex | hmmmm, is it tricky? |
| 00:57.07 | zachary | not really |
| 00:57.24 | EtherRex | someone told me that Mandrake 9 doesnt support ppp over atm, but that cant be true right? |
| 00:58.26 | zachary | yes it does, have you downloaded the microcode (mgmt.o)? |
| 00:58.28 | EtherRex | would you be able to point me in the direction of instructions for this hack please? |
| 00:58.32 | EtherRex | yeah i got that |
| 00:59.00 | EtherRex | it seems to be configured correctly but wont connect. doesnt seem to hold my account details either |
| 01:00.13 | zachary | give me a second I have to look up which file it is. |
| 01:00.27 | EtherRex | cool |
| 01:02.19 | zachary | which editor are you going to use |
| 01:02.20 | zachary | ? |
| 01:02.38 | EtherRex | good question |
| 01:02.45 | EtherRex | i dont know ;-) |
| 01:02.58 | zachary | ok, we will use vi |
| 01:03.13 | zachary | pull up a shell |
| 01:03.28 | zachary | su - |
| 01:03.37 | zachary | enter |
| 01:03.43 | zachary | root password |
| 01:03.58 | EtherRex | yep |
| 01:04.12 | EtherRex | i cant do this as we speak as my system is dual boot |
| 01:04.18 | EtherRex | but im taking notes |
| 01:04.33 | zachary | enter this command: vi /etc/ppp/peers/adsl |
| 01:05.02 | EtherRex | ok |
| 01:05.27 | zachary | do you see any text? |
| 01:05.49 | EtherRex | im not doing it now as my system is dual boot with win |
| 01:06.12 | EtherRex | i only have the speedtouch modem at the mo |
| 01:06.24 | EtherRex | so im on windows currently |
| 01:06.49 | zachary | did you use the mandrake network config utility? |
| 01:06.57 | EtherRex | yes |
| 01:07.16 | zachary | the adsl file should exist... |
| 01:07.32 | zachary | after the vi /etc/... |
| 01:07.37 | EtherRex | okay, if it does what do i need to change? |
| 01:07.37 | zachary | press the insert key. |
| 01:07.53 | EtherRex | ok |
| 01:07.54 | zachary | this allows you to edit the file. |
| 01:08.00 | EtherRex | ah ok |
| 01:08.56 | zachary | the correct line should be: pty "/usr/bni/pppoa3 -vpi 0 -vci 30" |
| 01:09.13 | zachary | the config utility leaves out the -vpi and -vci numbers. |
| 01:09.26 | EtherRex | okay, i think i get it. |
| 01:09.37 | EtherRex | how do i save the file with the changes? |
| 01:09.41 | EtherRex | ive never used vi |
| 01:10.07 | zachary | also at the end of the adsl file the last line should be: user "your adsl login" |
| 01:10.37 | zachary | your adsl login should be the login id that the isp gives you. also include the quotes. |
| 01:10.55 | zachary | after that is done press the esc key. |
| 01:11.23 | EtherRex | right. i assume there will be a line for the password also? is that correct? |
| 01:11.39 | zachary | no that is specified in another file |
| 01:12.17 | EtherRex | ah. does teh config utility save that correctly then? is it best to check it manually? |
| 01:12.19 | zachary | to save and quite is -> :wq (colon-w-q) and enter |
| 01:12.46 | EtherRex | right |
| 01:12.55 | zachary | It sets up everything except the vpi/vci settings. |
| 01:13.04 | EtherRex | strange bug |
| 01:13.52 | EtherRex | i tried to search the mandrake site but could find no relevent references |
| 01:14.00 | zachary | What I've found is the microsoft microcode works better. |
| 01:14.06 | EtherRex | ill give that a try. |
| 01:14.22 | EtherRex | microsoft microcode/ really? |
| 01:15.16 | zachary | yes, even though they should be the exact same, they are not. |
| 01:15.24 | EtherRex | i can try that also. Is it easy to use that? |
| 01:15.41 | EtherRex | just a case of copying it over the other mgmt.o? |
| 01:15.54 | zachary | yes, just rename it. |
| 01:16.05 | EtherRex | whats it called currently? |
| 01:16.15 | EtherRex | so i can find it :-) |
| 01:18.05 | zachary | let me check |
| 01:18.40 | EtherRex | im lookign at my speedtouch driver disc, but cant spot anything straight off |
| 01:18.42 | EtherRex | thanks |
| 01:19.28 | zachary | It is a *.sys |
| 01:20.10 | EtherRex | alcaudsl.sys maybe? |
| 01:20.24 | zachary | yes that is it |
| 01:20.52 | EtherRex | cool |
| 01:21.18 | EtherRex | ill try all that Zachary. maybe tonight or most likely in the morning. |
| 01:21.33 | EtherRex | many thanks for your time. Its much apprecated |
| 01:23.16 | zachary | Not a problem. GLLUG is hosting an install fest in late Feb/early Mar in Central London. Interested? |
| 01:23.39 | EtherRex | i saw that on the site. i may well be interested. |
| 01:24.16 | EtherRex | i also have to install drivers for my ATI radeon 9700 pro. i WILL have questions regarding that, im sure ;-) |
| 01:24.42 | EtherRex | might be a good chance to get some help whilst meeting some people |
| 01:25.07 | Tarragon | wb |
| 01:25.18 | davilion | or something |

| 22:09.47 | agk | it's informal |
| 22:09.54 | agk | (like gllug used to be) |
| 22:10.21 | Leeds | heh |
| 22:10.40 | agk | so fully-prepared presentations are rare |

| 22:11.20 | Leeds | ah... were you there last time I ad-libbed an iPAQ talk? :-) |
| 22:11.37 | agk | (I think I missed that one) |
| 22:11.58 | Leeds | I'm told I was heading for a couple of hours before I petered out... and I had literally had the iPAQ for 5 days at that point... |
| 22:13.02 | agk | do you know Oxford at all? |
| 22:13.11 | Leeds | nope... |
| 22:13.15 | dankolb | Hi agk, Leeds |
| 22:13.19 | agk | hi dan |
| 22:13.32 | dankolb | Organising an OxLUG talk? :) |
| 22:13.38 | agk | trying:-) |
| 22:13.39 | Leeds | I'm not sure I've ever been... |
| 22:13.44 | dankolb | Oh, Happy New Year, BTW |
| 22:13.50 | agk | and to you |
| 22:13.55 | dankolb | Thanks :) |
| 22:14.09 | dankolb | OxLUG is next Sunday, isn't it, not this Sunday? |
| 22:14.14 | agk | this Sunday |
| 22:14.19 | agk | 3 days off |
| 22:14.20 | Leeds | this sunday, apparently... |
| 22:14.46 | dankolb | Ooh. Okay. I guess I should try and arrange a lift then |
| 22:15.45 | agk | dankolb: maybe richard smith can come too? I'd like to get this website thing started |
| 22:16.03 | dankolb | He's still up in Sheffield, I think |
| 22:16.29 | dankolb | I'll talk to him, though, see if I can get him to email you or talk to you, if that's okay |
| 22:16.43 | agk | dankolb: I've started an email list |
| 22:17.01 | Leeds | agk: this is a very very stupid question, but would I have been punting in Oxford? |
| 22:17.24 | agk | dankolb: but we need to get together face-to-face |
| 22:17.25 | dankolb | So should I ask him to join that list, then? |
| 22:17.29 | agk | Leeds: could have been |
| 22:17.35 | agk | dankolb: he's on the list |
| 22:17.41 | dankolb | Ah. Good :) |
| 22:17.45 | Leeds | agk: http://photos.geeksgetrevenge.com/gibraltar/image--059.jpg :-) |
| 22:17.55 | Leeds | no, not gibraltar |
| 22:18.06 | dankolb | He sometimes comes down to London |
| 22:18.15 | agk | I don't recognise it. |
| 22:18.43 | agk | But it's years since I went punting. |
| 22:18.57 | Leeds | ah well... in that case, I've probably been to Cambridge a couple of times, and possibly never to Oxford :-) |
| 22:19.25 | agk | well we can give you a walking tour |
| 22:20.02 | Leeds | does that mean I said yes? :-) |
| 22:20.12 | dankolb | Yes :) |
| 22:20.20 | agk | I think you almost did |
| 22:21.03 | Leeds | ah well, in that case... :-) |
| 22:22.44 | agk | I can send you directions; |
| 22:22.50 | Leeds | so got a lift for me, or some nice easy directions and somewhere sane to park? |
| 22:23.14 | dankolb | Comlab is sane to park in |
| 22:23.31 | agk | parking - yes, and there are some free off-street places near the pub we meet at for late lunch |
| 22:23.31 | Leeds | oh good - I'm too used to London :-) |
| 22:24.02 | Leeds | late lunch at 8pm? :-) |
| 22:24.14 | agk | 1.30pm+ |
| 22:24.18 | dankolb | Unfortunately the Lamb & Flag doesn't serve food |
| 22:24.25 | dankolb | (not at 8pm at any rate) |
| 22:24.42 | agk | Ganesh reckons the photo is Cambridge |
| 22:24.44 | Leeds | ah... that's not what your website says |
| 22:24.56 | agk | nope. we don't advertise the lunch very widely |
| 22:25.02 | Leeds | you'd think I'd know where I was last year... |
| 22:25.34 | zachary | dankolb: Lamb & Flag on St. James St.? |
| 22:25.42 | agk | St Giles |
| 22:26.01 | Leeds | too late |
| 22:26.12 | agk | Some people not from Oxford arrive for lunch |
| 22:26.43 | agk | Most Oxford people only come for the evening, but people travelling make more of a day of it. |
| 22:26.49 | Leeds | I suppose I'll make a day of it then |
| 22:26.54 | agk | good:-) |
| 22:27.04 | Leeds | stop answering my comments before I've finished typing them! :-) |
| 22:27.39 | agk | p'raps the irc server's in a time warp |
| 22:28.00 | Leeds | so it's A40 then? from hanger lane? |
| 22:28.07 | Leeds | I can find that easily enough... |
| 22:29.21 | Leeds | I just zoomed out a bit far on MapQuest... I don't think I should be able to see Sarajevo on a map with directions from London to Oxford |
| 22:29.34 | agk | If you get stuck, you can phone me on 070174 OXLUG (070174 69584) |
| 22:30.24 | Leeds | hmm... I have a different number for you in my phone already |
| 22:31.00 | Leeds | alias phone numbers? :-) |
| 22:31.05 | agk | Yep. |
| 22:31.50 | agk | the one in your phone should still work fine. |
| 22:32.50 | agk | I've an unidentified number in my phone ending 95468 - is that yours? |
| 22:32.57 | Leeds | yup |
| 22:34.13 | agk | The pub where we meet for lunch is: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=450581&Y=207011&A=Y&Z=1 |
| 22:34.49 | agk | (under the arrowhead) |
| 22:35.13 | Leeds | should be easy enough to spot with a large orange arrow hanging above it |
| 22:36.09 | Leeds | got it... |
| 22:36.24 | agk | The place where the talk happens is under the arrow head http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?G2M?X=451253&Y=207044&A=Y&Z=1 |
| 22:36.51 | agk | (entrance from the RHS - Parks Rd) |
| 22:37.01 | Leeds | so pretty much where the maps on the oxlug site say, then? :-) |
| 22:37.04 | agk | (pub is 'Radcliffe Arms' on Cranham St) |
| 22:37.07 | agk | Yep |
| 22:37.48 | agk | You have to look carefully at the parking signs on the roadside by the pub. |
| 22:38.19 | agk | Most are 'residents only'. But there are a few spaces scattered around that are free to anyone to use. |
| 22:38.49 | Leeds | fair 'nuff |
| 22:39.14 | agk | If you can only find a residents place (rare), then if Dan Barlow's around he normally lets us have one of his visitors' permits that let you use the residents' places. |
| 22:39.49 | Leeds | 3 questions regarding talk: how many, who and how long? |
| 22:40.21 | agk | as it's outside term time, I reckon on 35 people. |
| 22:40.38 | agk | Similar sort of mix to GLLUG. |
| 22:41.08 | Leeds | good - was thinking maybe (scarily) more academic :-) |
| 22:41.10 | agk | but self-selecting according to the topic i.e. people interested the topic more likely to come along. [200 on mailing list] |
| 22:41.47 | Leeds | smaller than gllug then :-) |
| 22:41.50 | agk | yes. |
| 22:42.58 | agk | how long - entirely depends on discussion. |
| 22:43.27 | agk | Starts 6.30. Sometimes over by 7.15. Sometimes goes on till 9pm. |
| 22:44.31 | Leeds | no problem |
| 22:46.23 | agk | Do you have a flashy title etc. or shall I call it something like linux on iPAQ |
| 22:47.20 | Leeds | well, there's corny things like "A UNIX box in your pocket" :-) |
| 22:48.14 | Leeds | but nah, the simple one is probably best |
| 22:48.24 | agk | I'll combine them. |
| 22:50.18 | agk | phone aliases: there were lots going free over Xmas, so I grabbed some incl. LINUX & UKUUG |
| 22:51.09 | Leeds | fair enough |
| 22:51.49 | Leeds | I like my mobile number - I've had it for a few years (three phones over 2 networks) and I use it in preference to my landline number |
| 22:52.27 | Leeds | so if I leave the house around noon, that should work |

| 23:27.57 | zimm | good word , i'll use it too , Passable |
| 23:28.15 | dankolb | :) |
| 23:28.19 | dankolb | I survived it, anyway |
| 23:28.24 | Leeds | I always liked the fact that Unicode has a region reserved for Klingon :-) |
| 23:28.46 | dankolb | Well, isn't Klingon recognised as an official (artificial) language? |
| 23:28.51 | Jenson | Yeah |
| 23:30.43 | Jenson | I think the meat goes inside the condom dan |
| 23:31.41 | dankolb | Well, yeah. |
| 23:31.47 | Jenson | :D |
| 23:31.53 | dankolb | So I'm a bit confused as to what the 'suitable for vegetarians' means |
| 23:32.08 | Jenson | As was I |
| 23:32.32 | Jenson | I guess it's to do with flavoured one that people might put in their mouths (if you know what I mean...) |
| 23:34.18 | dankolb | You are weird :) |
| 23:35.58 | Leeds | you don't eat *any* non-meat??? |
| 23:36.03 | Jenson | lol Leeds...that's totally what I meant... |
| 23:36.15 | Leeds | Jenson: just checking :-P |
| 23:36.22 | dankolb | Leeds: Are you going to talk to OxLUG, then, on Sunday? |
| 23:36.48 | davilion | well i eat non meat but i thought that most IT geeks like myself dont feel the meal is tasty unless at least one animal has been sacrificed |
| 23:37.20 | Leeds | dankolb: apparently I am... I'm planning to be in Leeds the weekend of Feb 16th, if that helps :-) |
| 23:37.43 | dankolb | agk: Not since I was online last |
| 23:37.45 | Leeds | London? |
| 23:37.53 | Jenson | yeah Leeds |
| 23:38.04 | Leeds | coming down for the sales? :-) |
| 23:38.27 | Jenson | No Leeds I'm not...my parents are shopping. |
| 23:38.50 | Jenson | I'm meeting up with a certain new boyfriend of mine who will also be in London (see above) |
| 23:38.54 | davilion | im going to edinburgh Saturday to get the most tasteless hawain shirt i can find, and to return some clothes i bought without trying them on |
| 23:39.00 | Leeds | ah, that |
| 23:41.02 | davilion | quality session on six music right now |
| 23:41.06 | davilion | radiohead at glastonbury 98 |
| 23:41.36 | davilion | i wasnt there but did manage to watch the concert |
| 23:42.40 | Leeds | I'm not so into radiohead |
| 23:42.46 | davilion | ahh |
| 23:42.51 | davilion | one of my favorite bands. |
| 23:42.57 | davilion | really cheer me up |
| 23:43.05 | zimm | they were good that year .. |
| 23:43.35 | davilion | yeah wasnt that keen on Kid A or amnesiac, but their new stuff sounds fantastic |
| 23:43.44 | davilion | much more the radiohead we knew and loved |
| 23:43.48 | zimm | aye |
| 23:43.56 | Jenson | Karma Police is the only Radiohead song I can remember. |
| 23:44.19 | Leeds | eh... Buzzcocks is on, says my magic box |
| 23:45.08 | davilion | Jenson: hmm, its ok, i much prefer the likes of The Bends, |
| 23:45.54 | Jenson | Not disgusting BTW |
| 23:47.21 | davilion | lol |
| 23:47.56 | davilion | thats one thing that should be developed: condoms which detect the horniness and then send out some sort of audio/visual signal so you can find them |
| 23:48.18 | Leeds | it'd have to work by SMS :-( |
| 23:48.39 | Jenson | lol |
| 23:48.57 | davilion | dankolb: yeah bvut how does the condom know your horny and thus should start beeping |
| 23:49.13 | Jenson | ewwwww beeping condoms lol |
| 23:49.20 | dankolb | They'd be muffled |
| 23:49.30 | davilion | lol or they should just make the packets for glow in the dark ones transparent or something |
| 23:49.48 | dankolb | You can get those keychains that beep when you whistle |
