| 00:00.05 | dankolb | Set up LP :) |
| 00:00.27 | ResuDaed | is lp not text based printing? |
| 00:00.42 | dankolb | It's a stream of bytes |
| 00:00.58 | cupis | ResuDaed: either set up printing on your linux box, or print the document from an appropriate program on the Windows box. |
| 00:01.08 | ResuDaed | ah ... therefore could pipe it to an smb mount that is the printer? |
| 00:01.59 | cupis | ResuDaed: yes, if the input to the printer share is of a form that the printer/Windows printer driver can understand |
| 00:02.33 | ResuDaed | is there not a way to emulate an smbmount as an lpt? |
| 00:02.42 | dankolb | Don't think so |
| 00:03.03 | cupis | cat file | smbclient //windows/printershare -U username -P |
| 00:03.15 | dankolb | I'd just print to a .PS file, then use ghostscript to convert it into the HP printer language |
| 00:03.24 | cupis | but the printer/driver must be able to understand the file |
| 00:03.50 | cupis | I'd just install cupsys-client and cupsys-bsd and config cups |
| 00:04.36 | cupis | (and maybe gimpprint/foomatic/cupsomatic as appropriate) |
| 00:04.46 | ResuDaed | maybe I save to word doc and find out how another time :- |
| 00:04.47 | ResuDaed | ) |
| 00:04.56 | ResuDaed | much easier |
| 00:05.07 | ResuDaed | shame though |
| 00:05.13 | dankolb | Yeah |
| 00:05.41 | cupis | <ResuDaed> ... (I have never (and will probably never agin) need to print form linux |
| 00:06.44 | ResuDaed | ah, but, someone else using a system I may one day administer may need for some reason to print |
| 00:06.49 | ResuDaed | (actually what is happening here) |
| 00:07.22 | ResuDaed | apparantly many industries and educational establishments still use trees for the storage of human readable data |

| 14:01.29 | Davilion | lots of collisions and heavy traffic, or wonky cables? |

| 14:05.26 | dank_work | Yeah |
| 14:05.35 | dank_work | Well, this is a network server, so lots of people accessing it |
| 14:06.23 | Davilion | jormally it would be bootnet, rsh workingnode dd if=/dev/hda |dd of=/dev/hda |
| 14:06.40 | Davilion | turn around 3 times quickly and press reboot |

| 14:13.10 | Davilion | yeah |
| 14:13.21 | Davilion | it looks cool but the linux scheduler fucks up a bit |
| 14:13.39 | Davilion | it sometimes puts two processes on the same cpu |
| 14:14.00 | dank_work | Maybe we should use BSD then... :) |
| 14:20.52 | dank_work | Bloody DeadRat is doing their man pages in UTF-8 |
| 14:20.56 | dank_work | And xterm don't support that |
| 14:26.11 | dank_work | I mean, what's so wrong with ASCII? Eh? |
| 14:26.18 | dank_work | The man pages are all written in English |
| 14:26.34 | dank_work | Why do we have to support the Johnny Foreigners? Really. Gah. |
| 14:27.31 | Davilion | #heh |
| 14:28.44 | dank_work | All I wanted to do was read the manual page for rsync |
| 14:28.52 | dank_work | How difficult should that be? |
| 14:30.10 | StuartC | export LANG=en_GB |
| 14:30.18 | Davilion | ahh well it should be so dificult that only the person who wrote rsync and subsequently wouldnt need to look at the man page wouild ever be able to rsync his dirs, and subsequently keep support requests down |
| 14:30.20 | dank_work | aha |
| 14:30.27 | StuartC | it's man/groff not being able to handle the UTF locale |
| 14:30.32 | dank_work | :) |
| 14:30.38 | dank_work | Yes, and that's just silly |
| 14:30.55 | dank_work | If you're going to go for UTF-8, at least make sure everything bloody well supports it |
| 14:31.03 | StuartC | aye. expect rh will be working on patches for them for 8.1 - it's a fiarly visible nastiness |
| 14:31.53 | dank_work | Do RedHat deliberately have broken .0 releases now? |
| 14:32.24 | Davilion | dank_work: i think so |
| 14:32.29 | zachary | I don't think it is deliberate, more like a bad habbit. |
| 14:32.40 | dank_work | Habits can be broken |
| 14:36.49 | SpudUAway | Isn't .0 just beta by a different name? |
| 14:37.00 | dank_work | seems so |

| 18:45.41 | stephen | CTRL+ALT+DEL works on mine, but it might just call shutdown |
| 18:46.02 | Davilion | ahh yes, i would like to be able to a+a+d but the physical keyboard is in york. |
| 18:46.32 | zachary | init 0 |
| 18:46.36 | zimm | init 6 |
| 18:46.53 | zachary | sorry zimm, your right. |
| 18:46.56 | stephen | oh, of course |
| 18:47.05 | stephen | i forgot |
| 18:48.18 | stephen | how does that work, do you just set it to 6, or do you have to restart something? |
| 18:48.27 | zimm | zachary: :) |
| 18:49.01 | zachary | as root just type "init 6" and it will run the scripts for that runlevel. |
| 18:49.08 | Davilion | thats what im hoping |
| 18:49.12 | Davilion | but it doesnt seem to be doing anything |
| 18:49.15 | Davilion | and a quick look at top |
| 18:49.27 | Davilion | <PROTECTED> |
| 18:49.33 | Davilion | its been like that for an hour |
| 18:50.04 | zimm | Davilion: drop into single user and reboot from there ? |
| 18:50.27 | Davilion | zimm: will networking be up in single user? |
| 18:50.30 | Davilion | since im ssh'd in |
| 18:50.42 | zimm | Davilion: good question .. |
| 18:50.43 | zachary | I don't know if anyone else would go along with this one, but. The all else fails, "dummy switch" hit the power button |
| 18:51.26 | Davilion | zachary: thats the problem, i want to hit the power, but its a remote box i dont have any remote cycling stuff |
| 18:51.34 | Davilion | shed load of zombie processes too |
| 18:52.00 | zimm | Davilion: doesnt sound very healthy mate .. |
| 18:52.23 | zachary | brb, need to make dinner |
| 18:52.52 | Davilion | zimm: its very unhealthy. |
| 18:53.03 | Davilion | by the looks of it, one totally borked raid controller |
| 18:53.23 | Davilion | which i've unset in fstab so i just want to reboot so at least i can get users half using the system |
| 18:54.00 | zimm | Davilion: cant you do that without a reboot ? |
| 18:54.47 | Davilion | no, its all titsup |
| 18:54.58 | zimm | hmm , yeh , sounds it actually .. |
| 18:55.14 | Davilion | i need to reboot to get rid of the zombies for starters, but the scsi layer is broken too, like i can't do anything to any of my scsi devices/cards etc |
| 18:55.53 | zimm | and all the reboot commands are failing ? |
| 18:56.06 | Davilion | yeah |
| 18:56.16 | Davilion | i get broadcast messagr from root, rebooting etc, then it doesnt switch runlevel |
| 18:56.35 | zimm | could it be cos you are ssh'd in >? |
| 18:56.49 | zimm | ie it cant log you out .. |
| 18:57.51 | Davilion | 6:35pm root@topcat[/sbin]% shutdown -r now |
| 18:57.51 | Davilion | Broadcast message from root (pts/1) Tue Jan 28 18:37:17 2003... |
| 18:57.51 | Davilion | The system is going down for reboot NOW !! |
| 18:57.58 | Davilion | 6:37pm root@topcat[/sbin]% logout |
| 18:57.59 | Davilion | ebor 5% |
| 18:58.13 | Davilion | although |
| 18:58.15 | Davilion | you may be right |
| 18:58.18 | Davilion | i did try that before however |
| 18:58.46 | zimm | its just something ive run into before i think .. although i dont have much exp with remote admin .. |
| 19:00.27 | Davilion | hmm its still there |
| 19:00.29 | Davilion | but now i can't log in lol |
| 19:00.37 | Davilion | it could just be taking forever |
| 19:00.55 | Davilion | init seems to be ther parent process |

| 19:29.48 | SpudUAway | Hmm, me too. |
| 19:29.54 | eye69 | SpudUAway: Only the it was two stations...lucky I had money for a cab |
| 19:31.10 | davilion | heh |
| 19:31.30 | SpudUAway | I missed by 8 stations and didn't have the money. |
| 19:31.36 | davilion | at least if i fall asleep in the car, i will come to a sudden stop |
| 19:31.44 | highbury | I hated missing my station on the Northern Line when I lived in Tooting Bec, wake up at Morden and its a long walk back! |
| 19:31.48 | eye69 | SpudUAway: Ouch |
| 19:32.25 | davilion | highbury: can't you get another train? |
| 19:32.41 | Jenson | SpudULike: May I ask a question (other than this one)? |
| 19:32.46 | highbury | not if its the last train :-( |
| 19:32.55 | SpudULike | Was it this year LUL were doing signs of the station they want to get off at for New Years Eve revellers? |
| 19:33.19 | SpudULike | Err, sorry, let me make some sense of that...... |
| 19:33.26 | eye69 | LUL? |

| 19:34.11 | Jenson | (the second L) |
| 19:34.23 | eye69 | Jenson: Laughingstock? |
| 19:34.43 | SpudULike | Get a Post-It note and write on it the name of the station you wish to get of at. |
| 19:34.47 | SpudULike | Limited. |
| 19:34.51 | Jenson | eye69: Quite possibly |
| 19:35.57 | SpudULike | Thing is, if you do fall asleep, you would wake up to find that some git had crossed out the station name and replaced it with "Ha Ha". |
| 19:36.06 | zimm | SpudULike: lol |
| 19:36.10 | zimm | most likely |

| 19:49.27 | Jenson | OK then |

| 19:50.12 | formi | still thinking? don't overdo it |
| 19:50.21 | Jenson | The only reason I wans't allowed to reformat and reinstall on this machine was my mother always seemed to want it....but now she's obessessed with her new XP laptop I should be allowed to format and then I'll dual boot 98SE and Slack |
| 19:51.04 | Jenson | Well actually I wouldnt be allowed to put Slack on....but my parents have no idea how to get rid of it lol |
| 19:51.13 | formi | and that is an intelligent thought? |

| 19:51.43 | formi | I looks to me like a realization |
| 19:52.10 | Jenson | formi: Well it was, fucking system hung and forced me to reboot |
| 19:52.58 | Jenson | ibot lart stephen |
| 19:53.12 | stephen | lol |
| 19:53.17 | formi | so you are changing from an unstable os to a difficult to configure one? |
| 19:53.41 | stephen | no appreciates the copy of solaris |
| 19:53.44 | stephen | so* |
| 19:54.07 | Jenson | formi: Win is actually very stable ATM, doesn't usually crash....and no formi, coz I'd be dual booting....I understand Win and seem to have got it pretty stable |
| 19:54.41 | Jenson | lucky zimm |
| 19:54.43 | Jenson | lol |
| 19:55.01 | Jenson | I havent had one of those for a few days...I get them on shutdown |
| 19:55.07 | Jenson | even though I've installed the patch |
| 19:55.10 | Jenson | Need to format |
| 19:55.26 | formi | why do you need to format? |
| 19:55.30 | zimm | honestly its a really nice OS ,, just clicking around the desktop.. but try to DO anything , and it dies .. |
| 19:55.44 | Jenson | formi: Reinstall Win, it'll improve it. |
| 19:55.57 | zimm | formi: yeh it crashes faster |
| 19:56.00 | formi | maybe it is a lazy os zimm |
| 19:56.18 | zimm | formi: could be .. |
| 19:56.38 | Jenson | zimm: Last time I formatted I had a BSOD on bootup everytime for like 3 weeks.....coz I couldnt be bothered to sort out my sound drivers |
| 19:56.45 | zimm | maybe i should give it some coffee |

| 20:07.22 | dankolb | Hey zimm |
| 20:07.24 | dankolb | How's it going? |
| 20:07.32 | zimm | oh the usual .. |
| 20:07.34 | zimm | shite |
| 20:07.38 | zimm | :-) |
| 20:07.41 | dankolb | Aww |
| 20:07.41 | dankolb | :) |
| 20:07.42 | dankolb | What's up, then? |
| 20:08.35 | zimm | lets just say its hard to concentrate on uni , when you really cant rationalise getting 20k in debt to achieve a meaningless qualification .. |
| 20:08.58 | dankolb | Ahh. |
| 20:09.29 | zimm | question ,, |
| 20:09.38 | zimm | has your degree actually helped you get work ? |
| 20:09.43 | dankolb | The qualification isn't meaningless. A lot of employers look for a degree - it shows the ability to learn |
| 20:10.25 | dankolb | Er, well, not my particular work, because I was asked to join, as I was working there before and they liked me |
| 20:10.54 | dankolb | But I'm quite sure it got me one interview, and got me invited to another one (which I had to turn down) |
| 20:11.30 | zimm | hmm , yeh but your degree has snob value attached (no offence) |
| 20:11.35 | dankolb | Heh :) |
| 20:11.37 | dankolb | None taken |
| 20:11.53 | dankolb | I did only get a 2:2, though |
| 20:12.30 | stephen | i'm hoping that people won't turn their noses up at my degree just 'cos its from brookes |
| 20:12.34 | dankolb | The other thing about going to University is getting the experience |
| 20:12.35 | zimm | yeh but a 2:2 from oxford is still going to get interviews ,, whilst a first from greenwich wont |
| 20:12.46 | dankolb | Actually, it should |
| 20:13.00 | dankolb | stephen: They shouldn't |
| 20:13.38 | dankolb | Getting a first shows your in the top x% of your year |
| 20:13.38 | zimm | it should ,, but having actually been an employer .. i can say taht a lot of the time , you look at where the degree was gained first |
| 20:13.57 | stephen | well, we'll see what the ICT market is like in 3 1/2 years time |
| 20:14.06 | dankolb | yeah |
| 20:14.25 | dankolb | zimm: But that doesn't mean they'll just say "Greenwich? Bin" |
| 20:14.32 | zimm | stephen: hell man , Brookes wouldnt even give me a place ! |
| 20:14.47 | zimm | dankolb: some would .. |
| 20:14.50 | dankolb | Getting into Oxford means you've done well at A-Levels |
| 20:15.26 | dankolb | If, thereafter, you don't do any work and just scrape a pass, then that indicates that either the degree wasn't right for you, and you couldn't hack it, or you were just lazy, and therefore you'd be a bad worker/employee |
| 20:15.36 | zimm | they look at your character too though ,, being a muppet with straight A's doesnt get you a place |
| 20:15.39 | dankolb | zimm: They they're not worth dealing with |
| 20:15.42 | dankolb | zimm: True |
| 20:16.06 | dankolb | If your whole life involved learning for your A-Levels, they'd probably think you wouldn't really be an asset to the University |
| 20:16.15 | zimm | exactly .. |
| 20:16.19 | dankolb | The tutors have to gauge if they'd get on well with their candidates or not |
| 20:17.07 | zimm | heh , i had a place at Cambridge once ,, but didnt take them up on it cos i was working , then they didnt want me as a mature student .. |
| 20:17.13 | dankolb | Aww :-/ |
| 20:17.15 | dankolb | That sucks |
| 20:17.19 | zimm | yup |
| 20:17.25 | dankolb | But Oxford's far better than Cam anyway :) |
| 20:17.31 | zimm | depends ,, |
| 20:17.35 | dankolb | (I'm not biased, no) |
| 20:18.04 | dankolb | Are you enjoying your degree, though? Is it interesting? |
| 20:18.27 | zimm | its exactly what i wanted in a philosophy degree .. |
| 20:18.51 | zimm | im just a bit tired of the whole uni thing .. |
| 20:19.01 | dankolb | How much longer do you have left? |
| 20:19.15 | zimm | still a first year :-( |
| 20:19.36 | dankolb | Ahhhh |
| 20:19.47 | dankolb | So you're tired of it after a term? |
| 20:19.55 | zimm | had to start as a frst year again when i transferred from keele .. |
| 20:20.13 | zimm | (keele only do dual hons , i wanted to specialise) |
| 20:20.31 | zimm | so basically ,, ive done 2 years .. |
| 20:20.37 | zimm | and have 2 to go ' |
| 20:20.47 | dankolb | Right |
| 20:21.05 | dankolb | Uni isn't only about getting those letters after your name |
| 20:21.19 | dankolb | What also matters is that you're enjoying the degree, and any social life |
| 20:21.43 | stephen | ;) |
| 20:22.22 | stephen | you can't |

| 20:39.34 | zimm | yeh i guess so .. |
| 20:40.10 | dankolb | Give Jenson a good example, anyway :) |
| 20:40.18 | zimm | be easier to stick with if i had a little more money.. |
| 20:40.25 | zimm | lol |
| 20:41.28 | dankolb | I can understand that, but money really shouldn't be an overriding principle |
| 20:41.42 | zimm | its not ,, |
| 20:41.57 | zimm | but when you cant afford to eat properly , it does become an issue , |
| 20:42.12 | zimm | :-) |
| 20:42.16 | dankolb | Hm. I guess. |
| 20:42.32 | dankolb | Part-time job, then, I guess |
| 20:42.41 | zimm | guess so .. |
| 20:43.29 | zimm | need my driving licence , im sorted then ,, easily make an extra 100/week .. |
| 20:43.32 | dankolb | You'll get more out of it that way |
| 20:43.34 | dankolb | Heh :) |
| 20:44.11 | dankolb | Ahh. |
| 20:44.15 | dankolb | What did you get banned for? |
| 20:44.46 | zimm | err ,, being totally honest here (and continuing the small world theme) , driving past your house |
| 20:44.59 | zimm | well , past Beaconsfield |
| 20:45.05 | dankolb | yeah... |
| 20:45.11 | zimm | at 140mph |
| 20:45.19 | dankolb | On the A40 or M40? |
| 20:45.23 | zimm | M 40 |
| 20:45.29 | dankolb | Not quite so bad, then |
| 20:45.38 | zimm | anything over 100mph is a ban , |
| 20:45.44 | zimm | and i had 9 points already |
| 20:45.51 | dankolb | Ah. Not good |
| 20:45.56 | zimm | ho hum ,, the joys of despatch work .. |
| 20:46.08 | dankolb | Yeah |
| 20:46.14 | dankolb | But it pays a little bit |
| 20:46.30 | zimm | grand a week + if you are busy ,, |
| 20:46.46 | dankolb | Okay. that's bloody good |
| 20:47.01 | zimm | (course if you are tha busy your costs are like 4-500 , /week , ) |
| 20:47.18 | zimm | still , its nice money ,, |
| 20:47.26 | dankolb | That's still good, £500/week |
| 20:47.35 | dankolb | Better than wot I'm getting |
| 20:47.53 | zimm | hehe |
| 20:48.13 | dankolb | Hehe :) |
| 20:48.59 | dankolb | You'll just have to make do with baked beans instead of caviar, then |
| 20:49.28 | zimm | rofl .. |
| 20:50.06 | zimm | heh , i never spent money on lifestyle ,, |
| 20:50.08 | dankolb | It's a staple student food, apparently |
| 20:50.14 | zimm | it all went on toys and parties |
| 20:50.19 | dankolb | Heh |
| 20:50.28 | dankolb | Interesting/fun toys? |
| 20:50.40 | stephen | staple* |
| 20:51.00 | stephen | except for me, because i don't like them one bit |
| 20:51.02 | stephen | lol |
| 20:51.13 | zimm | motorbikes , mountain bikes , BMX, guns , cars , cool stuff |
| 20:51.15 | dankolb | You can staple student food with them |
| 20:51.23 | dankolb | Heh |
| 20:51.33 | dankolb | Yeah, you can't spend on that when you're a student |
| 20:52.00 | zimm | and taking 10 people clubbing and paying for it all will wax over 500 quid quite easily |
| 20:52.22 | dankolb | Well, yes. Again, that's some restrictions you have to make on yourself while a student |
| 20:52.41 | zimm | hehe , guess so .. |
| 20:53.38 | dankolb | Fernuff. I never liked it |
| 20:53.51 | dankolb | Really can't stand any loud noise |
| 20:54.07 | zimm | its expensive , noisy , boring , and everyone talks utter shite .. |
| 20:54.10 | zimm | then you go home |
| 20:54.21 | stephen | lol |
| 20:54.39 | dankolb | Oh joy. |
| 20:54.45 | dankolb | So I really haven't missed anything by not going |
| 20:55.15 | zimm | dankolb: hand on heart , if you dont take E its a waste of time effort and money |
| 20:55.54 | dankolb | (apart from the fact I know I wouldn't enjoy it) |
| 20:56.36 | stephen | i went to a club for the first time on friday and it was shite |
| 20:56.42 | dankolb | Which club? |

| 21:56.28 | SpudULike | London Overground Limited. |

| 23:01.31 | resuDaed | in 1 line? |
| 23:01.34 | dankolb | mpg123 -W (IIRC) should write to a wav file |
| 23:01.40 | Jenson | resuDaed: Not with Linux.....but if you've got Win I can |
| 23:01.52 | resuDaed | Jenson : what do you take me as? |
| 23:02.02 | zachary | The installfest flyer on the gllug.co.uk website has been changed. If you would like to download it and make comments, please do so. |
| 23:02.11 | dankolb | for i in *.mp3 ; do mpg123 -W $i (or whatever's appropriate) ; done ; cdrecord <options> -pad *.wav |

| 23:08.23 | formi | I wouldn't know I shy from both |
| 23:08.36 | resuDaed | how would you add the sting ".wav" to $i ? |
| 23:08.43 | Jenson | I wish my printer would print straight |
| 23:09.15 | resuDaed | because the mpg123 command requires the output file as well as the input file |
| 23:09.42 | dankolb | resuDaed: $i.wav (makes it foo.mp3.wav) |
| 23:10.32 | resuDaed | ok |
| 23:11.04 | SpudULike | How would you replace '.mp3' for '.wav' ? |
| 23:11.27 | resuDaed | dankolb, it's not recognising spaces in the file names |
| 23:11.51 | SpudULike | OOooo, use backticks |
| 23:11.57 | resuDaed | ie $i = the filename, not the filename with appropraite escape chars |
