01:02.50 | dankolb | At this time? |
01:02.58 | resuDaed | is only round the corner |
01:03.06 | resuDaed | 500yds or so |
01:03.11 | dankolb | you just going to stay there with her, then? |
01:03.16 | dankolb | Cool. Convenient :) |
01:03.29 | resuDaed | I am going to try and drag her back here if I can |
01:03.47 | resuDaed | I have been hard at work, and need my own bed to sleep |
01:04.14 | resuDaed | emphasis on 'sleep' :) |
01:05.31 | resuDaed | is it possible to write scripts for bitchX to ru on startup? |
01:05.38 | dankolb | Probably |
01:05.42 | resuDaed | (ie open 4 channels or so on different windows) |
01:06.26 | dankolb | No idea. |
01:06.28 | dankolb | Use irssi :) |
01:06.55 | dankolb | Wha? She left about 20 mins ago |
01:15.11 | resuDaed | when 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? |
01:15.28 | dankolb | That would be a client specific command |
01:15.46 | resuDaed | o/wise, do you know how youcope with multiple channels on one screen |
01:15.56 | dankolb | Badly |
01:16.02 | dankolb | Which is why I'm using irssi |

13:01.58 | dank_work | Solaris doesn't want to allow me to edit my disk slicing |
13:02.53 | skugg | hm. |
13:03.20 | skugg | disk slicing, as in lvm or evms? |
13:03.29 | skugg | or raid? |
13:03.34 | dank_work | As in BSD slicing, rather than partitioning |
13:05.31 | Leeds | dank_work: not sure... did you select a drive for slicing? |
13:06.36 | dank_work | Ahh. Yes. Works now. |
13:06.48 | skugg | what is bsd slicing? |
13:07.06 | dank_work | With Sol8, if I install iPlanet / SunONE Directory Services 5.1 separately, where will it stick itself? |
13:07.10 | dank_work | <PROTECTED> |
13:07.25 | dank_work | skugg: The equivalent(ish) of partitioning |
13:07.50 | *** join/#gllug stephen (~stephen@hn-30-37.brookes.ac.uk) [NETSPLIT VICTIM] |
13:08.12 | Leeds | dunno... should be /opt |
13:08.18 | dank_work | Okay. |
13:08.41 | Leeds | but *I dunno* - that's just an educated guess |
13:09.05 | Leeds | you need a chunk of space in /opt for the Companion CD too, don't forget :-) |
13:09.07 | dank_work | Ah wel. |
13:09.11 | dank_work | There's always 'ln' |
13:09.22 | dank_work | 2 to /usr |
13:09.24 | dank_work | etc. |
13:09.48 | Leeds | should be enough |
13:10.05 | dank_work | Okay :) |
13:10.14 | dank_work | Hopefully Oracle will install itself into /opt |

13:32.12 | Huhn | danke dank_work :) |
13:32.32 | dank_work | :) |
13:32.39 | Davilion | hi skugg |
13:32.40 | dank_work | Doing better today than yesterday? |
13:34.07 | Davilion | yes ive taken a day of doing real work to file my expenses |
13:34.10 | Davilion | its a flipping nightmare |
13:34.48 | dank_work | Fun fun fun. |
13:36.33 | Davilion | yeah |
13:36.35 | Davilion | but i need the money |
13:36.41 | Davilion | so far im up to 3.5k |
13:36.46 | dank_work | Lots. |
13:36.48 | zimm | Davilion: dank_work says you are bisexual .. is this true ? |
13:36.50 | formi | hiya |
13:36.59 | Davilion | not entirely. |
13:37.01 | dank_work | Jenson said that. |
13:37.17 | Davilion | jenson seems to think i am. |
13:37.18 | skugg | heh |
13:37.19 | dank_work | I have not asked anything like that. |
13:37.31 | zimm | Davilion: so , you arent |
13:37.38 | Davilion | no |
13:37.44 | dank_work | So why does Jenson think you are? |
13:38.03 | Davilion | because i can appreciate that some guys look nice and others dont. |
13:38.03 | zimm | ahaha |
13:38.23 | dank_work | Err...but isn't everyone like that, though? |
13:38.39 | zimm | hahah dank_work is bi |
13:38.59 | zimm | dank_work: see .. i told you he wasnt |
13:39.02 | dank_work | It's easy to say that some guy could be regarded as good-looking, without having any crush on them |
13:39.09 | Leeds | yeah |
13:39.40 | Leeds | there's a different between being attracted to someone and appreciating that they are attractive |
13:39.51 | dank_work | zimm: I never said anything. It was Jenson who did |
13:40.12 | dank_work | Davilion: So Jenson thinks you're bi just because you say that you can appreciate that some guys are good looking? |
13:40.14 | zimm | yeh its like appreciating taht macs are nice , or actually wanting to spend money on one |
13:40.27 | dank_work | :) |
13:40.31 | formi | there is a difference between being "average brit girl" and something called taste |
13:40.54 | Leeds | zimm :-) |
13:41.04 | zimm | dank_work: filthy filthy mind |
13:41.13 | dank_work | Me!? |
13:41.18 | zimm | yes you |
13:41.36 | dank_work | Ask my girlfriend. |
13:41.39 | dank_work | She'll tell you. |
13:41.43 | Davilion | dank_work: im sure theres more to it than that, i wouldnt sleep with a guy though which i guess is the decider |
13:42.15 | dank_work | That is pretty much the decider, yes. |
13:42.34 | formi | dank_work: you are asking for trouble when saying "ask her"... |
13:42.48 | Leeds | zimm, meet screen |
13:42.54 | dank_work | Well, there's various levels. Like anything between kissing and full-blown sleeping with someone |
13:43.03 | dank_work | formi: True.... |
13:43.25 | Davilion | i've snogged a guy, but that was just to get rid of a really annoying girl if that makes sense. |
13:43.43 | dank_work | It does. |
13:43.56 | formi | Davilion: oi, you stole my idea |
13:44.18 | dank_work | But presumably that means that you wouldn't go any further than that. In which case, that doesn't make you bi at all. |
13:44.59 | formi | dank_work: if you haven't kissed a man with a moustache you don't know |
13:45.31 | Davilion | dank_work: not unless she hadnt got the hint. |
13:45.41 | Davilion | formi: :) |
13:45.49 | dank_work | Davilion: You must have really hated her |
13:46.25 | Davilion | she just wouldnt get the hint |
13:46.32 | Davilion | i dont suffer people for long when im not in the mood |
13:46.43 | dank_work | Yeah, but I take it that you wouldn't normally want to do that? |
13:46.46 | Davilion | so that was nicer than getting really wound up |
13:47.11 | Davilion | i wouldnt go up to a random guy and kiss them no. |
13:47.33 | dank_work | okay. |
13:47.42 | formi | Leeds: have you ever compiled gaim without gnome support? |
13:47.53 | zimm | dank_work: sounds awkward |
13:48.02 | Leeds | formi: probably, since I don't use gnome... |
13:48.10 | dank_work | Only when she keeps going on about how bi someone is, when they're not |
13:48.32 | Leeds | or maybe not... apparently I have gnome support compiled in |
13:48.38 | Davilion | morcanna? |
13:48.50 | dank_work | Davilion: /join #morcanna |
13:50.14 | formi | Leeds: I compiled it without gnome support and when I run it I got something like "gnome launcher" missing |
13:51.25 | Leeds | formi: dunno, really |
13:53.20 | formi | Leeds: me neither, really |
13:53.55 | Leeds | I've got the gnome stuff installed, from when I installed my system |
13:55.21 | dank_work | Oooh. CDE. How loverly. |
13:56.40 | formi | Leeds: I've got the gnome libraries, only, galeon, xchat, gedit, ... work without trouble |
13:57.02 | zimm | dank_work: lol |
13:57.09 | dank_work | Oi. Leeds. ssh for Sol8. |
13:57.11 | dank_work | Where? |
13:59.02 | Leeds | sunfreeware.com |
13:59.05 | skugg | ah well, I'm off now I guess |
13:59.18 | skugg | will be back later |
14:00.21 | dank_work | bye skugg |
14:00.38 | dank_work | Thanks. |
14:01.10 | dank_work | Now. Why, when I run 'useradd', does it say 'Unable to create the home directory: Operation not applicable'? |
14:01.13 | Leeds | getting to lunchtime |
14:01.24 | Leeds | using NIS and/or NFS home directories? |
14:01.29 | dank_work | No |
14:01.42 | Leeds | where is it trying to make the home directory? |
14:02.00 | dank_work | Should be /export/home |
14:02.09 | Leeds | you may have to tell it that... |
14:03.55 | dank_work | I did. Still said that |
14:05.09 | dank_work | Right. That'll do. Time to replug it into the server room |
14:25.51 | Leeds | mmm... chicken |
14:26.47 | Leeds | well, it tastes like chicken, anyway... |
14:28.47 | dank_work | so does chicken |
14:29.19 | Leeds | this is actually chicken :-) |
14:29.33 | dank_work | Is that why it tastes like chicken? |
14:30.25 | Leeds | probably |
14:32.32 | Leeds | good chicken... smoked and smothered in BBQ sauce |
14:32.45 | dank_work | Right. Where's the file that says what order things should be looked up in? |
14:33.18 | dank_work | (i.e. hosts, dns) |
14:34.01 | Davilion | /etc/nsswhich.conf |
14:34.20 | dank_work | Danke |
14:34.34 | dank_work | Ah. Yes. Thought so |
14:35.28 | formi | Leeds: I'll be polite by not saying anything about *en |
14:35.40 | skugg | hi again :) |
14:36.04 | skugg | could anybody be so kind and have a look at my cv and give me some feedback? |
14:36.05 | formi | hi skugg |
14:36.11 | skugg | brautaset.org/cv |
14:36.27 | dank_work | Sure |
14:36.29 | dank_work | One mom |
14:36.41 | skugg | dank_work, stole a bit of layout-things from yours ;) |
14:36.47 | dank_work | That's fine :) |
14:37.40 | dank_work | Leeds: If I edit nsswitch.conf, how do I make the changed take effect? |
14:38.07 | Leeds | I don't think you need to do anything |
14:38.34 | Leeds | maybe restart nscd... but I don't think so |
14:39.42 | dank_work | Okay |
14:40.54 | Leeds | working? |
14:41.39 | zachary | bbl |
14:41.41 | dank_work | I did a 'kill -HUP nscd' |
14:41.48 | dank_work | (or rather, the process ID) |
14:42.00 | dank_work | But if I ping www.google.com, I still get an unknown host |
14:43.26 | Leeds | using DNS? is resolv.conf setup right? |
14:44.38 | dank_work | yeah |
14:44.45 | dank_work | I can run 'nslookup', and it picks it up |
14:45.05 | dank_work | bash-2.03# cat /etc/resolv.conf |
14:45.05 | dank_work | nameserver 192.168.64.3 |
14:45.30 | eye69 | dank_work: I got that trying to connect to a host from work. |
14:45.58 | Leeds | if you lookup www.google.com and try to ping the IP, does it work? |
14:45.59 | eye69 | If you do a 'host domain.tld' and then try to ping it, does that work? |
14:46.04 | *** join/#gllug dpash (~david@host213-122-204-246.in-addr.btopenworld.com) |

14:46.15 | dpash | not satellite yes |
14:46.17 | Leeds | argh! |
14:46.26 | dpash | but I'm risking connecting anyway |

14:46.49 | eye69 | dank_work: Try to ping it a few times. |

14:47.16 | dank_work | # "hosts:" and "services:" in this file are used only if the |
14:47.16 | dank_work | hosts: files,dns |
14:47.19 | eye69 | dank_work: If you have the same problem as me, the lookup will "disappear" after a few pings. |
14:47.20 | dank_work | Is that correct? |
14:47.25 | eye69 | dank_work: Yes. |
14:47.30 | dank_work | The lookup never was there in the first place |
14:47.45 | eye69 | dank_work: Weirdly enough, upgrading to Bind9 on our DNS solved the problem. |
14:48.10 | dank_work | Hm. |
14:48.17 | dank_work | I'm not prepared to do that, though |
14:48.20 | Leeds | does "telnet www.google.com 80" do anything interesting? |
14:48.35 | dank_work | bash-2.03# telnet www.google.com 80 |
14:48.36 | dank_work | www.google.com: Unknown host |
14:48.42 | dank_work | Maybe I should try rebooting? :) |
14:48.55 | eye69 | dank_work: No. |
14:49.17 | eye69 | dank_work: Do 'host www.google.com' and then telnet www.google.com 80 |
14:49.18 | Leeds | but nslookup works? |
14:49.29 | dank_work | 'host' doesn't exist. This is Sol8 |
14:49.33 | eye69 | Oh |
14:49.37 | eye69 | Then use nslookup |
14:49.38 | dank_work | bash-2.03# nslookup www.google.com |
14:49.38 | dank_work | Server: t3.testing.causeway-tech.com |
14:49.38 | dank_work | Address: 192.168.64.3 |
14:49.38 | dank_work | Non-authoritative answer: |
14:49.38 | dank_work | Name: www.google.com |
14:49.40 | dank_work | Address: 216.239.33.100 |
14:50.41 | eye69 | dank_work: Then try telnet |
14:51.02 | dank_work | Telnet to? |
14:51.07 | eye69 | google |
14:51.08 | dank_work | google, or the IP address? |
14:51.20 | dank_work | bash-2.03# telnet 216.239.33.100 80 |
14:51.20 | dank_work | Trying 216.239.33.100... |

14:51.22 | dpash | LOL http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/21/1253227&mode=thread&tid=134 |
14:51.28 | eye69 | dank_work: Ok, try that a few times. |
14:52.09 | dank_work | Maybe I'll just reboot. Start it cleanly. |
14:52.23 | eye69 | dank_work: No, try doing it a few times. |
14:52.28 | eye69 | Try doing the telnet a few times. |
14:52.41 | dank_work | Ah bollocks. I closed the wrong telnet session :) |
14:52.43 | eye69 | It _seems_ to be the same symptoms I had. |
14:52.48 | Leeds | neither should be necessary... |
14:53.12 | Leeds | dpash: I did originally read that as "Woz and Jobs like the PIM from Ximian" :-) |
14:53.27 | eye69 | I don't know, but in the Linux nsswitch.conf there's no "," between files and dns |
14:53.39 | eye69 | hosts: files dns |
14:53.49 | dank_work | Ahhh... |
14:53.59 | Leeds | eye69: good call! |
14:54.12 | dank_work | Leeds: You said my line looked okay. You lied! |
14:54.40 | eye69 | I 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. |
14:54.44 | Leeds | dank_work: no, eye69 said that :-) |
14:54.56 | dank_work | Okay. He lied! |
14:55.09 | eye69 | It was only one host that we had problems connecting to though. |
14:55.10 | dank_work | No double-burger for him at the post-Installfest pub |
14:55.11 | murb | some one though i had *just* 2 or 3 irc channels open... |
14:55.25 | eye69 | dank_work: :( |
14:59.44 | dpash | dialup sucks |
14:59.50 | dpash | or just mine |
15:00.04 | dank_work | Mine does too |
15:00.13 | dank_work | (ADSL went titsup last night) |
15:00.28 | dank_work | Aha. |
15:00.36 | dank_work | There should be a space, not a comma |
15:01.04 | eye69 | Heh |
15:01.12 | eye69 | Sorry for misleading you. :) |
15:01.17 | dank_work | Bah :-P |
15:01.26 | dank_work | bloody Finnish |
15:01.49 | Leeds | I've had a new analogue line put in this morning, so I can get company-paid-for ADSL put it :-) :-) :-) It's BTopenworld :-( :-( |
15:02.01 | dank_work | That still comes down to one :-) |
15:02.23 | dank_work | Causeway pays for my ADSL |
15:02.38 | dank_work | (sorry, eye69 ) |
15:02.46 | dpash | Leeds: do they have to be BT? |
15:02.52 | Leeds | I used to have company ISDN... but that seemed silly after I got ADSL put in myself |
15:03.01 | Leeds | dpash: yup - it's all corporate-contracty |
15:07.57 | dpash | Leeds: BT are the worst company for ADSL I have seen |
15:08.16 | Leeds | maybe I'll keep my Freeserve account live for a bit too :-) |
15:09.14 | murb | Leeds: I'm sure i know sun people who are havnig demon adsl paid for. |
15:09.32 | murb | s/sure/*know*/ |
15:09.43 | Leeds | murb: names? |
15:09.58 | dank_work | Why can't you get Sun to just pay for your existing ADSL? |
15:10.20 | *** join/#gllug formi (~formi@usr1307-har.blueyonder.co.uk) |
15:10.46 | Leeds | dank_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 |
15:10.54 | dank_work | Ah right. |
15:11.26 | formi | which on the age of computers is so difficult |
15:12.39 | Leeds | I would guess the problem is paperwork for auditing and so on... |
15:13.13 | Leeds | and 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 |
15:13.18 | dank_work | Can't you pay, and get Sun to give *you* the money? |
15:13.31 | formi | excuses should be expected from a dinousaur age co, like all the phone providers |
15:14.30 | Leeds | dank_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 |
15:14.44 | dank_work | That's why they have an accounts department |
15:14.53 | Leeds | they *could* pay for lots of individual accounts, but it's much much easier to deal with one big one |
15:16.16 | Leeds | that'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 |

15:25.27 | formi | the first one I did laugh at it |
15:25.39 | formi | but I don't consider it sexist |
15:25.53 | Huhn | the guy with the PDP11 is completely crazy |
15:27.42 | formi | I wouldn't take my bare bits near any electrical equipment |
15:28.23 | formi | Huhn: http://unixsex.com/admins/ has a few funny ones, |
15:28.24 | Huhn | he is pretty famous in the German geek community |
15:28.37 | Leeds | you seem to take your bare bits everywhere else... |
15:28.48 | Huhn | formi: :) |
15:29.00 | murb | who do i have to kill to get my free linux magazine magazines? |
15:29.16 | Leeds | murb: I suggest starting with yourself |
15:29.26 | formi | my bits are the same bare or covered |
15:30.20 | formi | even tough certain bit might experience a change depending on whom takes it out |
15:32.01 | murb | Leeds: but that won't help.. |

15:33.35 | murb | and there is now ponit annoucing someone has won somthign then not even contacting them to get their address to send the prize. |
15:33.47 | murb | it causes lots of disapointment. |
15:33.59 | formi | ok |
15:34.21 | formi | it is you money or not if you get away with it |
15:35.03 | formi | Huhn: i get all these links from #freebsd, they tend to swap them from time to time |
15:36.19 | Huhn | formi: the whole office here is laughing.. great, make my Friday afternoon! :) |
15:37.04 | formi | Huhn: nice |

15:42.42 | Davilion | can you get sed to work on a file? rather than a pipe? |
15:43.28 | dank_work | Yeah |
15:43.35 | Leeds | sure |
15:43.36 | dank_work | Or what about just 'cat foo | sed' ? |
15:43.37 | Huhn | Davilion: yes, use the -f option |
15:43.49 | Leeds | or just sed -e "foo-script" filename |
15:44.06 | Davilion | dank_work: cos i need it to change a line in fstab |
15:44.50 | Leeds | it doesn't, generally, edit-in-place - it is a *stream* editor, afterall |
15:45.44 | Davilion | dank_work: i've been using vi, but ive got 60 machines to change |
15:46.07 | Davilion | redhat doesnt always get its fstab to correctly correspond with its swap partition |
15:46.09 | dank_work | ssh dave@other.machine vi /etc/fstab |
15:46.50 | dank_work | Hm |

15:54.17 | dank_work | How well 'speak'? |
15:54.35 | Leeds | yeah, but from the Mirror, most of probably speak English as a 2nd language, since this country is being overrun by brown people |
15:55.25 | dank_work | Oooh :) |
15:55.44 | formi | also they say "pc companies are threating with leaving the country" |
15:56.09 | formi | because off all the gear being nicked from lorries, airports, warehouses... |
15:57.25 | Leeds | isn't it because of all the stealth taxes brought in by the current government and the eurocratic way the businesses are regulated? |

22:28.03 | dankolb | Ah fuck. IE just crashed. |
22:28.27 | SpudUAway | IE!!!!! Cough! Splutter! |

22:30.13 | dankolb | Heh. |
22:30.18 | zachary | s / know / now |
22:30.51 | dankolb | All I did was hit the reload button. |

22:34.21 | dankolb | I think I need more memory |
22:34.45 | zachary | mo memory never hurts:) |
22:35.27 | dankolb | Aye |
22:38.07 | zachary | What kind of memory you need. You said 256MB right? |
22:38.09 | dankolb | Yeah. |
22:39.06 | zachary | laptop? |
22:40.57 | SpudUAway | It's gotta be the BBC server, I started to get lots of dropouts. I've moved over to cable. |
22:41.42 | dankolb | Yeah. |
22:41.46 | dankolb | And yes, it's a laptop |
22:41.52 | stephen | something's seriously fscked about brookes' network today |
22:42.41 | SpudUAway | Hey, 15 Storeys High at 11.30. You've heard 15 Storeys? |
22:42.55 | dankolb | No |
22:43.15 | dankolb | I need PC-133, 144-pin, 1.25" (or smaller) memory. SO-DIMM |
22:43.16 | SpudUAway | You've gotta listen, well funny. |
22:43.31 | dankolb | I'll try. |
22:45.28 | SpudUAway | If you can't I'll just have to get you some recordings. |
22:45.41 | dankolb | Okay. |
22:45.53 | dankolb | I might decide to go to bed before, though. |
22:45.58 | dankolb | Esp. as this stream is being screwed up |
22:46.00 | zachary | dankolb: k-byte 256MB, pc133, 144pin, about 25GBP. |
22:47.02 | dankolb | That's not bad. |
22:47.06 | dankolb | SO-DIMM? |
22:47.15 | zachary | yes |
22:49.00 | zachary | 512MB for about 72 |
22:49.35 | dankolb | Not bad |
22:50.03 | dankolb | But I think that 512MB RAM should be enough |
22:56.15 | zachary | I'm off to bed, SpudUAway: I'll print the covers tomarrow morning. See ya later. |
22:56.26 | SpudUAway | nn |
