00:00.08 | eye69 | Omg...the fuckwit with the dream about connecting a serial cable and using DOS to IRC through the connection of a w98 machine is back. |
00:08.48 | dankolb | Why a fuckwit? |
00:08.55 | dankolb | I was doing something similar yesterday at Globix |
00:09.05 | dankolb | Although that was serial connection to a Linux machine |
00:09.46 | dankolb | 'night all |
00:10.13 | eye69 | Exactly, but this guy doesn't seem to want to listen to the answers he is given. |
00:10.18 | dankolb | Fule |
00:10.28 | dankolb | Anyway, c'ya later |
00:12.08 | Clyphox | Maybe he's winding you up (eye69) |
00:12.29 | eye69 | No, he's just finnish. |
00:12.52 | Clyphox | heh |
00:16.22 | davilion | ;) |
00:17.05 | davilion | i need something to do, theres a very large sendmail book sitting here which i should read before setting up an mta on my colo box, but theres many more interesting things to do on a saturday night im sure |
00:17.22 | eye69 | Hehe. |
00:18.43 | davilion | eye69: im going on a sysadmin pilgrimage at the moment |
00:18.48 | davilion | and sendmail.cf just lokos so evil |
00:18.57 | eye69 | davilion: Heh. |
00:19.00 | davilion | otoh i already know how to set up multidrop mailboxes etc under sendmail |
00:19.28 | eye69 | I admit that knowing a bit of Sendmail can be useful if you get in the situation of having to admin it, but I wouldn't install it on a new system. |
00:19.54 | Clyphox | Actually I meant postfix hehe.. |
00:21.19 | eye69 | Clyphox: Heh. |
00:22.39 | davilion | last night i tackled apache, so now i can adddomain <domainname> <user> [-alias <domainname>] and creates the user if it doesnt already exists, and creates a virtual host for domains and any aliases i add, creates all the links, sets the permissions, etc and reloads httpd. |
00:23.10 | davilion | the night before was dns, but i didnt get too far wiht dns because all my domains are unconfigured by stupid isps who make it hard as possible to farm out your dns servers |
00:23.29 | formi | i have a few scripts that do that |
00:31.12 | Clyphox | Are you guys on to apache 2? |
00:32.24 | davilion | no, |
00:32.27 | davilion | i need mod_perl support |
00:43.26 | eye69 | Clyphox|fragged: Nah, need to many modules. |
00:43.33 | eye69 | s/to/too/ |
00:44.30 | Clyphox|fragged | eh? |

01:34.09 | formi | hello |
01:34.39 | formi | Huhn: could you do me a little favour? |
01:34.56 | Huhn | formi: yes? |
01:36.46 | Clyphox|UrbanTer | I need to play..working all day.. |
01:39.48 | formi | well at this time of the night |
01:39.57 | formi | with the teddy bear maybe |
01:48.25 | skugg | bombs out, have to make the old fashioned way :) |
01:56.05 | formi | DoD offering admin privileges on .mil Web sites, theregister.co.uk |
02:26.54 | Clyphox | Goodnight all |
02:27.12 | formi | night Clyphox |
02:32.18 | Clyphox | Changed my mind.. |
02:32.23 | Clyphox | Got a problem and want to sort it now.. |
02:32.48 | formi | have you lost your bed? |
02:33.12 | Clyphox | hehe it's standing against the wall atm.. floor covered in PC bits |
02:33.51 | Clyphox | I want to run a second X for games.. no problem. I can launch it from console but not from my current X.. its weird.. |
02:34.16 | Clyphox | it sais : |
02:34.17 | Clyphox | <PROTECTED> |
02:34.17 | Clyphox | AUDIT: Sun Jan 26 02:28:51 2003: 12074 X: client 1 rejected from local host |
02:34.18 | Clyphox | Xlib: connection to ":2.0" refused by server |
02:34.18 | Clyphox | Xlib: No protocol specified |
02:34.18 | Clyphox | <PROTECTED> |
02:37.05 | formi | i don't think you can start it from a xterm |
02:37.36 | Clyphox | maybe.. I'll try putting it in my blackbox menu maybe.. |
02:37.37 | formi | because i suppose it would inherit the $var of the current X |
02:38.48 | Clyphox | I'm trying xhost +127.0.0.1 |
02:39.21 | formi | why can't you oven it from the console |
02:39.23 | formi | ? |
02:40.29 | Clyphox | because I don't want to. |
02:40.56 | Clyphox | I don't like relying on my keyboard so much. I'm getting lazy in my old age. |
02:41.39 | formi | it would be faster than trying to set up a clean environment inside X |
02:41.39 | Clyphox | It works.. |
02:41.53 | Clyphox | Just the .Xautority file wasn't allowing it.. |
02:42.21 | Clyphox | formi : I know. But I like my menu :) And I like knowing how to do this kinda stuff.. |
02:42.33 | Clyphox | I've just made a wrapper for any game now.. |
02:42.42 | Clyphox | crude but it works :) |
02:44.43 | formi | im trying to guess where my X server get the --nolisten-tcp option from |
02:45.04 | formi | i checked the usual suspect with no luck |
02:45.07 | Huhn | formi: running Debian? |
02:45.09 | Clyphox | proberbly just security from whoever compiled it.. |
02:45.20 | formi | nope |
02:45.24 | Huhn | it's a Debian special, the --nolisten-tcp |
02:45.33 | Huhn | ok.. was a guess ;) |
02:45.54 | formi | root 500 1.9 9.9 37984 12556 ?? S Fri01PM 21:23.64 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 :0 -nolisten tcp |
02:46.06 | formi | this is FB 4.7 |
02:46.28 | Huhn | it's ok to have it as default, I think |
02:48.11 | formi | but i want to be able to have clients connect to me, basically gkrellm on my servers |
02:49.20 | Huhn | use xauth? |

14:36.47 | formi | when did it become a "language" ?? |
14:36.59 | mazogs | just joking |
14:37.30 | mazogs | i don't know, why? |
14:37.54 | formi | i remenber thinking "what the hell?" when watching Valencia's FC president talking in valencian |
14:38.32 | formi | it seems that is becoming like a fashion to have your own language nowadays |
14:39.19 | Leeds | I wish to assert my rights as an ethnic speaker of Yorkshire! |
14:39.54 | mazogs | language are part of one's culture i think |
14:40.29 | formi | at compulsory "Galician Studies" we were completely drilled with that "In the Iberian Peninsula there are only 5 languages" |
14:40.52 | Leeds | English, French, German, Spanish, Portugese... |
14:41.00 | formi | Castellano, Catan, Galego, Euskera and Portuguese |
14:41.14 | mazogs | how many are there in fact? |
14:41.26 | formi | s/Catan/Catalan |
14:41.43 | formi | anything else is considered a dialect |
14:41.47 | murble | s/else/formi/ |
14:41.57 | mazogs | they must be talking about official languages maybe |
14:42.16 | murble | well the ethnologue even lists europanto |
14:43.23 | formi | there is a difference between a proper language and a dialect of a language |
14:43.39 | murble | yeah, it is called an army and a navy, we've done this already. |
14:43.51 | skugg | murble, you going to FOSDEM? |
14:43.57 | murble | skugg: yep. |
14:44.15 | murble | for eurostar? |
14:44.22 | Huhn | murble: where are you staying? |
14:44.25 | skugg | it came as surprising to me as anyone else... |
14:44.35 | Leeds | skugg: how so? |
14:44.36 | skugg | murble, i don't know ;) |
14:44.41 | skugg | lemme check... |
14:44.49 | murble | Huhn: on floor of patricks apartment. |
14:44.51 | skugg | yep, it's eurostar |
14:45.01 | murble | skugg: how did you aquire them? |
14:45.01 | formi | many people don't like to be told that Castellano started as a dialect of the Galego-Portugues |
14:45.02 | Huhn | murble: ok :) |
14:45.13 | Leeds | skugg: when are the tickets for? |
14:45.17 | skugg | Leeds, John H. took care of it for me, that's why :) |
14:45.34 | Huhn | murble: from .uk? |
14:45.36 | Leeds | ah! |

14:46.49 | Huhn | Leeds: are you all joining the pre-drink? ;) |
14:46.55 | murble | well not really a problem, if i hapen to be in london i just jump on eurostar |
14:47.25 | Leeds | Huhn: that's the plan :-) |
14:47.37 | Huhn | nice ;) |
14:48.57 | Leeds | me too... I *might* get a new camera to bring with... |
14:49.47 | Huhn | which model? |
14:50.39 | Leeds | dunno - thinking about a Canon or Fuji - the point is to get something smaller than my current camera, which is a bit brick-like |
14:51.01 | skugg | ;) |
14:51.24 | Leeds | 135mm? |
14:51.39 | Huhn | skugg: what's wrong with a real camera? ;) |
14:52.19 | eye69 | Morning |
14:52.22 | Leeds | it's 13cm high? |
14:52.41 | skugg | Leeds, don't make me insecure now! :P the camera takes 135-film at least. |
14:52.58 | skugg | the "mm" behind 135 might have been my brainfart. |
14:53.39 | murble | s/steel/borrow/ |
14:53.54 | murble | everyone else seems to then demand help to get the photos off the cf |
14:54.46 | Leeds | we use my camera for testing gphoto at work :-) |
14:55.30 | murble | this is supposed to be for doing docuementatoin, but the only times it would have been useful to have it has been left someones home... |
14:55.49 | Leeds | heh |
14:56.55 | Leeds | this is very strange - I'm using an XFree86 4.3 prerelease, and it's got anti-aliased/transparent/big/coloured cursors... but my normal arrow has a floating shadow, and it really looks like the cursor is a few mm above the screen :-) |

15:01.45 | air1 | yeah and i know what you did last summer |
15:02.00 | air1 | yeah good, how you doing |
15:02.09 | formi | fine thanks |
15:02.26 | air1 | so what's up have you found that tinyX port |
15:02.49 | formi | i actually haven't looked for it |
15:03.23 | air1 | ok, still trying to compile Flash yeah? |
15:03.37 | formi | by the way do you know where X is actually told to use --nolisten-tcp? |
15:03.50 | formi | I gave up on flash |
15:04.59 | air1 | why don't you set it up on your firewall, i think it's in the 7000 range |
15:05.48 | formi | my problem is that i can't find the file that passes that option |
15:06.03 | formi | I want X to accept connections |
15:06.04 | air1 | ho ok i see |
15:06.21 | air1 | humm i really don't know, but is it really listening |
15:06.34 | Huhn | formi: have a look at xauth |
15:06.42 | air1 | ho ok i see, i believe it should be one of these start options |
15:06.43 | eye69 | formi: xauth +hostname |
15:07.16 | formi | eye69: even if the X server was started with --nolisten-tcp ??? |
15:07.22 | eye69 | formi: No. |
15:07.37 | eye69 | formi: grep -r "--nolisten-tcp" /etc |
15:07.54 | formi | i checked the usual places |
15:08.09 | formi | mainly /usr/X11R6/lib/etc |
15:09.39 | eye69 | In Debian it's in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc |
15:10.39 | formi | checking |
15:11.00 | formi | i don't use xdm so that is one less to check |
15:12.43 | eye69 | If you do: grep -r "..nolisten.tcp" /etc/* |
15:13.09 | eye69 | Debian doesn't keep configs in /usr/X11R6/lib/etc |
15:14.31 | air1 | i think formi is using FreeBSD right now |
15:15.04 | eye69 | Oh..nasty |
15:15.54 | air1 | actually the Init seems to be the main difference between linux and bsds |
15:16.17 | air1 | apart frm the kernel and fs of course |
15:16.35 | eye69 | Yeah...I don't have anything against it apart from the init |
15:17.46 | air1 | fair enough, i think each solutions has its benefits |
15:18.31 | air1 | actually i did the same such you recommended above grep... didn't return anything |
15:18.46 | air1 | even in usr/X11R6/* |
15:19.10 | air1 | formi:you may want to check what google has to say |
15:20.06 | formi | one of these day i will go and ask on #freebsd, wich I like as much as a kick on the teeth |
15:20.40 | air1 | yeah i like the friendly attitude, note that it's specific to this server |
15:22.35 | formi | then they wonder why nobody uses fb |
15:24.13 | air1 | well i don't think they actually wonder why, but you know it'sd only a core of idiots, mainly i found fbsd users are just as friendly |
15:24.16 | air1 | as linux or others |

20:31.00 | ResuDaed | I still didn't manage to get the nvidia driver to compile, due to a incomplete source tree, so I thought may as well re-do the kernel while I'm at it |

22:15.21 | dankolb | 100EUR/night is a bit much, really - I might have to end up in a youth hostel |
22:15.45 | zimm | whats that in real money >? |
22:15.46 | skugg | i think I share a double room with John to cut costs |

22:27.46 | Axel | hi |
22:28.12 | zimm | Jenson: how do you think they get it on the tabs ? its a liquid ...(well it is once you dissolve the crystals) |
22:29.21 | Jenson | zimm: Can't say I've really experimented with drugs |
22:29.52 | zimm | heh, yeh , i know .. just sayin .. |
22:30.09 | SpudULike | Isn't experimenting with Slackware just as dangerous as drugs? |
22:30.14 | dankolb | It is |
22:30.25 | zimm | SpudULike: equivalent to crack i believe |
22:35.13 | Axel | may i throw a n00b question in the room? just a quicky ;) |
22:35.31 | Tarragon | So you would not recommend Slack then? :-) |
22:35.43 | Jenson | yeah Axel |
22:35.46 | Axel | thx |
22:35.50 | dankolb | Tarragon: I recommend Slack |
22:36.07 | Tarragon | No you don't - you recommend BSD |
22:36.11 | Axel | I'm trying to mount my fat32 partition... wondering whether my fstab entry holds up :) |
22:36.27 | Axel | /dev/hdb3 /data vfat defaults,user |
22:36.32 | Axel | :D |
22:36.52 | dankolb | Tarragon: Well, true |
22:37.15 | dankolb | Axel: /dev/hdb3 /data vfat defaults,user 0 0 |
22:37.20 | Axel | ah |
22:37.54 | Axel | i've created directory in /mnt called /data ... will it mount there or do i need to put the /mnt in front of it? |
22:38.05 | dankolb | You do |
22:38.15 | dankolb | Because it tells you what directory you want to mount in |
22:38.23 | Axel | ah |
22:38.25 | Axel | hmm |
22:38.44 | Axel | do i have to restart to make it work? |
22:38.57 | Axel | or can i just rehash something or other? |
22:39.11 | dankolb | mount /mnt/data |
22:39.13 | Axel | i've currently got it mounted - but as root only |
22:39.18 | dankolb | Ah |
22:39.27 | dankolb | Unmount it as root, and mount it as a user |
22:39.39 | Axel | darn - says dev is busy ;( |
22:39.47 | dankolb | But if you want it user-mountable, you want to use 'noauto' option, which won't mount it automatically |
22:40.18 | Axel | i want it to be there when i come back, so auto would be nice :) |
22:40.23 | stephen | it's okay if you everything specified in /etc/fstab |
22:40.34 | stephen | otherwise it can be a real bitch |
22:40.42 | dankolb | Axel: If it's automatically mounted, you don't need it user-mountable |
22:40.47 | Axel | uhm |
22:40.54 | Axel | /dev/hdb3 /data vfat defaults,user,auto 0 0 |
22:41.01 | Axel | that's what i looks like now |
22:41.15 | Axel | shall i get rid of the user then and leave the auto? |
22:41.37 | dankolb | No, get rid of both |
22:41.39 | Axel | k |
22:41.50 | Axel | so it's just defaults then? |
22:41.52 | dankolb | Yup |
22:41.54 | Axel | and 0 0 |
22:41.56 | dankolb | Yup |
22:42.02 | Axel | and it's gonna be rw? |
22:42.05 | dankolb | Unless you want it checked at mount-time |
22:42.13 | Axel | checked? |
22:42.16 | dankolb | It should be. Although you might need to specify the umask option |
22:42.16 | dankolb | fsck |
22:42.20 | Axel | ah |
22:42.28 | Axel | what does that do? |
22:42.30 | dankolb | By default, it'll probably mount it so only root can read/write to it |
22:43.02 | Axel | umask=022 ? |
22:43.17 | dankolb | That makes it root r/w |
22:43.23 | Axel | oops |
22:43.35 | dankolb | If you want it world writable, then umask=000 should work |
22:44.47 | Axel | k |
22:45.30 | Axel | why does it still say the dev is busy and how can i convince him to umount it? |
22:46.05 | dankolb | Do you have anything using anything on /mnt/data ? |
22:46.11 | Axel | hmm |
22:46.24 | Jenson | Axel: If your like me you probably have the browser for the /mnt dir loaded |
22:46.37 | Axel | yep |
22:46.38 | Axel | sec |
22:46.58 | Axel | lol |
22:47.08 | Axel | i was still in the /data with the console... |
22:47.09 | Axel | doh |
22:47.12 | dankolb | Ah :) |
22:47.34 | Axel | hmm |
22:47.35 | Axel | root@eden:/mnt# mount /mnt/data |
22:47.35 | Axel | [mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab |
22:47.44 | Axel | final newline? |
22:47.50 | Axel | wth is that supposed to mean? |
22:48.01 | dankolb | Exactly what it says |
22:48.08 | dankolb | Edit it, and put a newline at the end |
22:48.11 | Axel | right |
22:49.01 | stephen | echo "" >> /etc/fstab should work i think |
22:49.17 | dankolb | :-) |
22:49.19 | Axel | stephen: what does that do? |
22:49.28 | dankolb | Puts a blank line in, basically |
22:49.31 | Axel | ah |
22:49.32 | stephen | adds the required new line |
22:49.34 | Axel | thx |
22:49.43 | stephen | but you'd obviously already done it ;) |
22:49.52 | Axel | Jenson ;) |
22:49.57 | Axel | yeah |
22:49.59 | dankolb | You like the /mnt dir? |
22:50.00 | dankolb | Well? |
22:50.04 | Axel | that was pretty easy :) |
22:50.09 | Axel | nope |
22:50.16 | Jenson | dankolb: I like it now I know how to access the FD lol |

23:18.13 | dankolb | Yeah. Leech-eating |
23:19.22 | dankolb | Or Ox shit |

23:20.39 | dankolb | Yeah |
23:20.55 | Clyphox | They have an average IQ of 100. it explains alot |
23:21.01 | Clyphox | (j/k) |
23:21.06 | dankolb | Clyphox: Yeah, true |
23:21.26 | dankolb | Clyphox: I'm just used to being around intelligent people |
23:21.29 | dankolb | (like all of us here :) |
23:21.34 | Clyphox | [nod] |
23:21.48 | Clyphox | geeks are a breed unto their own.. |
23:21.49 | Jenson | I have a IQ of 97 excuse me! |
23:21.56 | dankolb | Jenson: You have a much higher IQ |
23:21.59 | Jenson | According to BBC |
23:22.05 | dankolb | You weren't doing it properly |
23:22.06 | Jenson | And I wasn't concentrating |
23:22.12 | dankolb | Exactly |
23:22.19 | Jenson | According to MENSA tests I have an IQ of 152 |
23:22.22 | Clyphox | hehe.. According to that I was 107 or something.. and I am definatly NOT |
23:22.39 | dankolb | (mainly because I never quite got the hang of them) |
23:22.39 | Clyphox | mensa is just status crud |
23:22.42 | dankolb | Yeah |
23:22.54 | dankolb | There isn't any definitive IQ test |
23:22.54 | Clyphox | the stuff you put on CV's |
23:23.15 | dankolb | You just need to do various tests when you're in a good, concentrating, state of mind, and take an average |
23:23.24 | zimm | mensa ? |
23:23.26 | Clyphox | There isn't even a fixed idea as to what intellegence really is.. |
23:23.27 | zimm | boring ... |
23:23.31 | dankolb | Clyphox: Yeah |
23:23.36 | Jenson | I know I'm dumb thats all that matters |
23:23.41 | Clyphox | lol |
23:23.45 | dankolb | Jenson: You're not dumb, dammit |
23:23.48 | Clyphox | Can't get worse that way hehe |
23:23.49 | zimm | Jenson: shut up , you arefnt .. |
23:24.13 | dankolb | I'd say that intelligence is the ability to learn/adapt to new situations |
23:24.35 | dankolb | And also, partly, the ability to see outside your own point of view |
23:24.40 | Clyphox | dankolb : Then 80% of the population would flunk hehe |
23:24.49 | dankolb | Clyphox: Well, that's true, though, isn't it? |
23:24.56 | dankolb | About 80% of people seem stupid? |
23:25.06 | Clyphox | to me yup.. |
23:25.17 | dankolb | To me too |
23:25.18 | Clyphox | Its a bell shapes graph if you look at ir.. |
23:25.28 | dankolb | That's because that's how it's defined |
23:25.32 | Clyphox | ++shaped |
23:25.35 | dankolb | It's defined to be the Normal distribution curve |

23:26.23 | SpudUAway | ;-) |
23:26.25 | zimm | dankolb: tehy are weird |
23:26.36 | Clyphox | I think alot of so called intelligence is also the ammount of determination. You don't have to be smart to make it in this work. Just push hard and don't give up/ |
23:26.37 | dankolb | Yeah |
23:26.49 | dankolb | Clyphox: Partly |
23:27.07 | dankolb | But you have to have some degree of smartness to know that you might have to push yourself |
23:27.18 | Clyphox | To learn is a skill I mean..but not entirely given. You can learn to learn if you try.. (I think) |
23:27.19 | dankolb | The truly wise man knows that he knows not |
23:27.31 | Clyphox | true true.. |
23:27.41 | Clyphox | A skill I don't have is shutting up. |
