01:01.56resuDaedBeth's not feeling too good
01:02.24dankolbAww :(
01:02.27dankolbWhat's up with her?
01:02.44resuDaedshe wont tell me, I'm going around to hers in a few mins
01:02.50dankolbAt this time?
01:02.58resuDaedis only round the corner
01:03.06resuDaed500yds or so
01:03.11dankolbyou just going to stay there with her, then?
01:03.16dankolbCool. Convenient :)
01:03.29resuDaedI am going to try and drag her back here if I can
01:03.47resuDaedI have been hard at work, and need my own bed to sleep
01:04.14resuDaedemphasis on 'sleep' :)
01:05.31resuDaedis it possible to write scripts for bitchX to ru on startup?
01:05.38dankolbProbably
01:05.42resuDaed(ie open 4 channels or so on different windows)
01:06.26dankolbNo idea.
01:06.28dankolbUse irssi :)
01:06.55dankolbWha? She left about 20 mins ago
01:15.11resuDaedwhen writing a .ircrc, is it possible to run the /window new hide command and then switch to that window, or is that a bitchx specific command?
01:15.28dankolbThat would be a client specific command
01:15.46resuDaedo/wise, do you know how youcope with multiple channels on one screen
01:15.56dankolbBadly
01:16.02dankolbWhich is why I'm using irssi
01:16.05dankolb(or rather, dank_work is)
01:16.09resuDaed(any idea how?)

01:16.52murbhello
01:17.04murbklepto has been for a wonder south of the river
01:17.59dankolbNot a good thing, then?
01:18.15murbYes it is good, because it means it is no longer at work place.

01:18.38murbI was planning to do it, it just happened.

01:19.39dankolbresuDaed: Yup
01:19.44resuDaedlike this?
01:20.06dankolbYeah
01:20.10resuDaedah, not so bad, bitchx stores /msg <dest> under the tab key, so not too difficult
01:20.40dankolbUse irssi :)
01:20.48murbdankolb: but the forward doesn't always match
01:20.53dankolbAh, right
01:21.05murbone of my secondaries ignores notifies :(
01:21.10resuDaednah, set up .ircrc alias for /m, then aut-complete, easy as piss and I don't have to keep switching windows
01:21.21dankolbD'oh

09:35.17dank_workThis is still LVM1-something, I think

09:43.53dank_workIt really is a complete steaming pile.
09:44.42Leedsthat may be a *touch* harsh...  it's improved a hell of a lot since 1.0
09:45.02dank_workWell, I think this one is still 1.1
09:45.04LeedsI tend to find that particular plugins make it much less stable
09:45.09Leedsah! you should have 1.2.1
09:45.26dank_workHeh
09:46.01Leedsand the 1.3 release date on the roadmap is today :-) give it a week or two...

13:36.46dank_workLots.
13:36.48zimmDavilion: dank_work says you are bisexual .. is this true ?
13:36.50formihiya
13:36.59Davilionnot entirely.
13:37.01dank_workJenson said that.
13:37.17Davilionjenson seems to think i am.
13:37.18skuggheh
13:37.19dank_workI have not asked anything like that.
13:37.31zimmDavilion: so , you arent
13:37.38Davilionno
13:37.44dank_workSo why does Jenson think you are?
13:38.03Davilionbecause i can appreciate that some guys look nice and others dont.
13:38.03zimmahaha
13:38.23dank_workErr...but isn't everyone like that, though?
13:38.39zimmhahah dank_work is bi
13:38.59zimmdank_work: see .. i told you he wasnt
13:39.02dank_workIt's easy to say that some guy could be regarded as good-looking, without having any crush on them
13:39.09Leedsyeah
13:39.40Leedsthere's a different between being attracted to someone and appreciating that they are attractive
13:39.51dank_workzimm: I never said anything. It was Jenson who did
13:40.12dank_workDavilion: So Jenson thinks you're bi just because you say that you can appreciate that some guys are good looking?
13:40.14zimmyeh its like appreciating taht macs are nice , or actually wanting to spend money on one
13:40.27dank_work:)
13:40.31formithere is a difference between being "average brit girl" and something called taste
13:40.54Leedszimm :-)
13:41.04zimmdank_work: filthy filthy mind
13:41.13dank_workMe!?
13:41.18zimmyes you
13:41.36dank_workAsk my girlfriend.
13:41.39dank_workShe'll tell you.
13:41.43Daviliondank_work: im sure theres more to it than that, i wouldnt sleep with a guy though which i guess is the decider
13:42.15dank_workThat is pretty much the decider, yes.
13:42.34formidank_work: you are asking for trouble when saying "ask her"...
13:42.48Leedszimm, meet screen
13:42.54dank_workWell, there's various levels. Like anything between kissing and full-blown sleeping with someone
13:43.03dank_workformi: True....
13:43.25Davilioni've snogged a guy, but that was just to get rid of a really annoying girl if that makes sense.
13:43.43dank_workIt does.
13:43.56formiDavilion: oi, you stole my idea
13:44.18dank_workBut presumably that means that you wouldn't go any further than that. In which case, that doesn't make you bi at all.
13:44.59formidank_work: if you haven't kissed a man with a moustache you don't know
13:45.31Daviliondank_work: not unless she hadnt got the hint.
13:45.41Davilionformi: :)
13:45.49dank_workDavilion: You must have really hated her
13:46.25Davilionshe just wouldnt get the hint
13:46.32Davilioni dont suffer people for long when im not in the mood
13:46.43dank_workYeah, but I take it that you wouldn't normally want to do that?
13:46.46Davilionso that was nicer than getting really wound up
13:47.11Davilioni wouldnt go up to a random guy and kiss them no.
13:47.33dank_workokay.
13:47.42formiLeeds: have you ever compiled gaim without gnome support?
13:47.53zimmdank_work: sounds awkward
13:48.02Leedsformi: probably, since I don't use gnome...
13:48.10dank_workOnly when she keeps going on about how bi someone is, when they're not
13:48.32Leedsor maybe not... apparently I have gnome support compiled in
13:48.38Davilionmorcanna?
13:48.50dank_workDavilion: /join #morcanna
13:50.14formiLeeds: I compiled it without gnome support and when I run it I got something like "gnome launcher" missing
13:51.25Leedsformi: dunno, really
13:53.20formiLeeds: me neither, really
13:53.55LeedsI've got the gnome stuff installed, from when I installed my system
13:55.21dank_workOooh. CDE. How loverly.
13:56.40formiLeeds: I've got the gnome libraries, only, galeon, xchat, gedit, ... work without trouble
13:57.02zimmdank_work: lol
13:57.09dank_workOi. Leeds. ssh for Sol8.
13:57.11dank_workWhere?

13:59.05skuggah well, I'm off now I guess
13:59.18skuggwill be back later
14:00.21dank_workbye skugg
14:00.38dank_workThanks.
14:01.10dank_workNow. Why, when I run 'useradd', does it say 'Unable to create the home directory: Operation not applicable'?
14:01.13Leedsgetting to lunchtime
14:01.24Leedsusing NIS and/or NFS home directories?
14:01.29dank_workNo
14:01.42Leedswhere is it trying to make the home directory?
14:02.00dank_workShould be /export/home
14:02.09Leedsyou may have to tell it that...
14:03.55dank_workI did. Still said that
14:05.09dank_workRight. That'll do. Time to replug it into the server room
14:25.51Leedsmmm... chicken
14:26.47Leedswell, it tastes like chicken, anyway...
14:28.47dank_workso does chicken
14:29.19Leedsthis is actually chicken :-)
14:29.33dank_workIs that why it tastes like chicken?
14:30.25Leedsprobably
14:32.32Leedsgood chicken... smoked and smothered in BBQ sauce
14:32.45dank_workRight. Where's the file that says what order things should be looked up in?
14:33.18dank_work(i.e. hosts, dns)
14:34.01Davilion/etc/nsswhich.conf
14:34.20dank_workDanke
14:34.34dank_workAh. Yes. Thought so
14:35.28formiLeeds: I'll be polite by not saying anything about *en
14:35.40skugghi again :)
14:36.04skuggcould anybody be so kind and have a look at my cv and give me some feedback?
14:36.05formihi skugg
14:36.11skuggbrautaset.org/cv
14:36.27dank_workSure
14:36.29dank_workOne mom
14:36.41skuggdank_work, stole a bit of layout-things from yours ;)
14:36.47dank_workThat's fine :)
14:37.40dank_workLeeds: If I edit nsswitch.conf, how do I make the changed take effect?
14:38.07LeedsI don't think you need to do anything
14:38.34Leedsmaybe restart nscd...  but I don't think so
14:39.42dank_workOkay
14:40.54Leedsworking?
14:41.39zacharybbl
14:41.41dank_workI did a 'kill -HUP nscd'
14:41.48dank_work(or rather, the process ID)
14:42.00dank_workBut if I ping www.google.com, I still get an unknown host
14:43.26Leedsusing DNS? is resolv.conf setup right?
14:44.38dank_workyeah
14:44.45dank_workI can run 'nslookup', and it picks it up
14:45.05dank_workbash-2.03# cat /etc/resolv.conf
14:45.05dank_worknameserver 192.168.64.3
14:45.30eye69dank_work: I got that trying to connect to a host from work.
14:45.58Leedsif you lookup www.google.com and try to ping the IP, does it work?
14:45.59eye69If you do a 'host domain.tld' and then try to ping it, does that work?

14:47.19eye69dank_work: If you have the same problem as me, the lookup will "disappear" after a few pings.
14:47.20dank_workIs that correct?
14:47.25eye69dank_work: Yes.
14:47.30dank_workThe lookup never was there in the first place
14:47.45eye69dank_work: Weirdly enough, upgrading to Bind9 on our DNS solved the problem.
14:48.10dank_workHm.
14:48.17dank_workI'm not prepared to do that, though
14:48.20Leedsdoes "telnet www.google.com 80" do anything interesting?
14:48.35dank_workbash-2.03# telnet www.google.com 80
14:48.36dank_workwww.google.com: Unknown host
14:48.42dank_workMaybe I should try rebooting? :)
14:48.55eye69dank_work: No.
14:49.17eye69dank_work: Do 'host www.google.com' and then telnet www.google.com 80
14:49.18Leedsbut nslookup works?
14:49.29dank_work'host' doesn't exist. This is Sol8
14:49.33eye69Oh
14:49.37eye69Then use nslookup

14:51.02dank_workTelnet to?
14:51.07eye69google

14:52.09dank_workMaybe I'll just reboot. Start it cleanly.
14:52.23eye69dank_work: No, try doing it a few times.
14:52.28eye69Try doing the telnet a few times.
14:52.41dank_workAh bollocks. I closed the wrong telnet session :)
14:52.43eye69It _seems_ to be the same symptoms I had.
14:52.48Leedsneither should be necessary...
14:53.12Leedsdpash: I did originally read that as "Woz and Jobs like the PIM from Ximian" :-)
14:53.27eye69I don't know, but in the Linux nsswitch.conf there's no "," between files and dns
14:53.39eye69hosts:          files dns
14:53.49dank_workAhhh...
14:53.59Leedseye69: good call!
14:54.12dank_workLeeds: You said my line looked okay. You lied!
14:54.40eye69I had more or less the same problem as you, and upgrading to Bind9 on our main DNS solved it. I don't have the slightest clue as to why though.
14:54.44Leedsdank_work: no, eye69 said that :-)
14:54.56dank_workOkay. He lied!
14:55.09eye69It was only one host that we had problems connecting to though.
14:55.10dank_workNo double-burger for him at the post-Installfest pub

15:01.12eye69Sorry for misleading you. :)
15:01.17dank_workBah :-P
15:01.26dank_workbloody Finnish
15:01.49LeedsI've had a new analogue line put in this morning, so I can get company-paid-for ADSL put it :-) :-) :-)  It's BTopenworld :-( :-(
15:02.01dank_workThat still comes down to one :-)
15:02.23dank_workCauseway pays for my ADSL
15:02.38dank_work(sorry, eye69 )
15:02.46dpashLeeds: do they have to be BT?
15:02.52LeedsI used to have company ISDN... but that seemed silly after I got ADSL put in myself
15:03.01Leedsdpash: yup - it's all corporate-contracty
15:07.57dpashLeeds: BT are the worst company for ADSL I have seen
15:08.16Leedsmaybe I'll keep my Freeserve account live for a bit too :-)
15:09.14murbLeeds: I'm sure i know sun people who are havnig demon adsl paid for.
15:09.32murbs/sure/*know*/
15:09.43Leedsmurb: names?
15:09.58dank_workWhy can't you get Sun to just pay for your existing ADSL?
15:10.20*** join/#gllug formi (~formi@usr1307-har.blueyonder.co.uk)
15:10.46Leedsdank_work: far too complex - if they had to pay for everyone's individual accounts, they'd have hundreds of bills to pay (or hundreds of regular expense requests), as opposed to one big bill from BT
15:10.54dank_workAh right.
15:11.26formiwhich on the age of computers is so difficult
15:12.39LeedsI would guess the problem is paperwork for auditing and so on...
15:13.13Leedsand if the account is in my name, I'd have to pay it and claim it back - Sun couldn't pay it for me - as opposed to having a phone line and ADSL account in Sun's name, in my flat
15:13.18dank_workCan't you pay, and get Sun to give *you* the money?
15:13.31formiexcuses should be expected from a dinousaur age co, like all the phone providers
15:14.30Leedsdank_work: that's the problem - they'd have to pay hundreds of people, different amounts depending on the ISP, and be able to trace all the money
15:14.44dank_workThat's why they have an accounts department
15:14.53Leedsthey *could* pay for lots of individual accounts, but it's much much easier to deal with one big one
15:16.16Leedsthat's just the way large companies work - I very much doubt that we're paying BT the retail price for the account, we should be getting a bulk discount
