00:21.33 | eye69 | I did |
00:21.42 | marko85_uk | was it good? |
00:21.48 | marko85_uk | doesnt sound too technical |
00:22.13 | eye69 | It's not supposed to be very technical. It's supposed to give people a firsthand introduction to Linux. |
00:22.27 | highbury | today was just the InstallFest, mostly aimed at newbies, and to help people with any particular problems |
00:22.35 | highbury | :-) eye69 |
00:22.37 | marko85_uk | that was cool |
00:22.39 | marko85_uk | i need help with my modem |
00:22.47 | marko85_uk | its like taking years now |
00:22.49 | eye69 | I didn't do that much besides helping a few people. |
00:23.00 | marko85_uk | ill have to wait till uni probably |
00:23.12 | eye69 | Give us a bit of information on your problem. |
00:23.29 | marko85_uk | problem is really simple |
00:23.31 | eye69 | Distribution, modem type and such. |
00:23.52 | marko85_uk | intel ham voice data modem |
00:24.01 | marko85_uk | i found the driver and everything |
00:24.07 | marko85_uk | but i couldnt install it |
00:24.22 | eye69 | For ham radio? |
00:24.31 | marko85_uk | red hat linux |
00:24.41 | marko85_uk | ham radio? i dont get that |
00:24.46 | eye69 | Nevermind. |
00:24.54 | marko85_uk | i am not sure how to unzip the file i have on the disk |
00:25.10 | eye69 | What's the filename? |
00:25.29 | highbury | unzip? are you sure you haven't got a Windows driver? |
00:25.45 | marko85_uk | ofcourse i am |
00:25.45 | marko85_uk | :) |
00:25.55 | marko85_uk | its gir or something |
00:25.59 | marko85_uk | giz* |
00:26.01 | highbury | you said "Intel >>ham<< voice data modem" |
00:26.09 | marko85_uk | that is what it is called |
00:26.11 | eye69 | .tar.gz? |
00:26.19 | marko85_uk | yes |
00:26.21 | marko85_uk | that is the one |
00:26.22 | marko85_uk | :) |
00:26.25 | eye69 | 'tar zxvf filename.tar.gz' |
00:26.52 | marko85_uk | filename.tar.gz |
00:27.57 | marko85_uk | i seems to have lost the disk now |
00:28.54 | *** join/#gllug stephen (~stephen@hn-30-37.brookes.ac.uk) |
00:28.58 | eye69 | What version of RH are you running? |
00:29.04 | eye69 | 8? |
00:29.33 | marko85_uk | much older |
00:29.40 | eye69 | How much? |
00:30.22 | marko85_uk | 7 |
00:30.24 | davilion | knew they would come in handy for something |
00:31.50 | eye69 | marko85_uk: Yeah, it looks like you'll have to compile the driver from source. |
00:32.09 | marko85_uk | http://www.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers_linux.htm |
00:32.16 | marko85_uk | i found the driver |
00:32.19 | eye69 | The earliest binary driver supplied from Intel is for RH 7.3 |
00:32.44 | eye69 | Do you have the modem model number handy? |
00:33.10 | marko85_uk | well i dont but i can look up in the device manager |
00:33.16 | marko85_uk | what kind of number am i looking for |
00:33.30 | marko85_uk | i got hardware version 002 |
00:34.15 | marko85_uk | its probably v92 |
00:34.48 | marko85_uk | Linux drivers and sample compiled binary for Red Hat 7.3 for MD5628-L-B chip |
00:34.53 | dank_work | Hum |
00:35.07 | marko85_uk | i think this is the driver but it doesnt work on 7 does it |
00:35.13 | marko85_uk | i need linux upgrade |
00:35.36 | highbury | 7.0 is pretty old now |
00:35.59 | marko85_uk | do u think if i install red hat 8 it should assign the driver |
00:36.01 | marko85_uk | straight away? |
00:36.09 | eye69 | Probably not. |
00:36.27 | eye69 | The modem is a "winmodem", so it needs special drivers. |
00:36.28 | dank_work | eye69: I'm really sorry for not being in the pub |
00:36.42 | marko85_uk | i know |
00:36.45 | eye69 | dank_work: No problem, mate. |
00:36.48 | davilion | i think 7 is fairly compatible with .2 and .3 |
00:36.58 | davilion | unless you have .0 in which case its a pile of poo |
00:37.08 | marko85_uk | i do have 7 |
00:37.15 | marko85_uk | i got a disk and it is saying |
00:37.18 | marko85_uk | red hat linux 7 |
00:38.02 | eye69 | davilion: It probably wont work, since it's a module (probably is, anyway) |
00:38.28 | davilion | yeah if its got a kernel module pre built it definatly wont work since i think they all had very different kernels |
00:38.29 | murble | hello |
00:38.32 | davilion | each with tehir own major bug |
00:38.33 | murble | hi davilion |
00:38.38 | davilion | hi murble |
00:39.11 | davilion | hi dank_work |
00:39.15 | marko85_uk | guys i know this is probably not a very nice thing to ask |
00:39.29 | highbury | .. |
00:39.38 | marko85_uk | but is there any chance one of you could send me better version of red hat? |
00:39.58 | marko85_uk | is on 56k |
00:40.01 | eye69 | I don't have it downloaded. |
00:40.10 | eye69 | Not using redhat. |
00:40.30 | dank_work | Bah :-P |
00:40.36 | marko85_uk | i am prepared to swap it for |
00:40.50 | marko85_uk | live suse 7.3 disk |
00:40.53 | highbury | what you got to offer :-) |
00:41.01 | marko85_uk | where u can run it from any pc without instaling it |
00:41.02 | highbury | LOL |
00:41.08 | eye69 | Haha. |
00:41.10 | marko85_uk | hehe that is a good offer |
00:41.19 | davilion | dank_work: how was your day? |
00:41.45 | davilion | that good eh? |
00:42.11 | marko85_uk | ok ill swap it for slackware 7.1 |
00:42.11 | marko85_uk | :) |
00:42.19 | marko85_uk | anyoneeee pleaseeee |
00:42.21 | dank_work | It could have been worse. Just about. |
00:42.47 | eye69 | I don't have any recent distros downloaded, since I never install from CD anyway. |
00:42.58 | marko85_uk | does anyone |
00:43.05 | marko85_uk | have any distro |
00:43.20 | marko85_uk | can one help me out |
00:43.22 | marko85_uk | #redhat unable to join channel (address is banned) |
00:43.33 | stephen | marko85_uk: i suppose it's still on the ftp site, download it and burn it if you can't get it from anywhere else |
00:43.35 | highbury | we handed out looooads of SuSE Cd's, there was mix-up, they were supposed to send us old SuSE 8.0 boxed sets, but accidently sent us the latest 8.1 :-) |
00:43.39 | marko85_uk | i think my isp is banned from entering this channel |
00:43.54 | marko85_uk | highbury who is we :)) |
00:44.02 | marko85_uk | would we happen to have an e-mail address? |
00:44.08 | highbury | GLLUG meeting |
00:44.32 | marko85_uk | what are the chances that marko85_uk could accidently get one of those? |
00:44.32 | dank_work | davilion: It was good to meet you finally :) |
00:45.18 | stephen | don't matter, I don't have anywhere to install it |
00:45.46 | highbury | marko85_uk: your too late, and you didn't turn up |
00:45.51 | eye69 | davilion: Were you there? I missed you again. |
00:46.07 | marko85_uk | highbury i cant turn up |
00:46.23 | marko85_uk | i live a long way from london |
00:46.30 | marko85_uk | only 17 and cant drive |
00:46.35 | dank_work | Train? |
00:47.01 | highbury | We had people who travelled down from Manchester! |
00:47.11 | marko85_uk | must take mate with him coz his parents wouldnt let him go on his own |
00:47.42 | marko85_uk | just lets say i couldnt make it |
00:47.55 | highbury | s'okay |
00:48.25 | marko85_uk | i thought suse 8.3 is the newest one* |
00:48.31 | highbury | can you download faster at School? |
00:48.38 | marko85_uk | i can |
00:48.38 | davilion | dank_work: dare i ask what happened? |
00:48.41 | highbury | SuSE 8.1 is the current one |
00:48.52 | highbury | SuSE 8.2 is currently in beta |
00:49.05 | davilion | dank_work: yeah it was good to meet you too. |
00:49.05 | marko85_uk | good idea |
00:49.11 | marko85_uk | but how do i download it |
00:49.19 | davilion | eye69: yeah, dan pointed you out, but i didnt stay long, i had intended too then got sidetracked |
00:49.52 | highbury | You'll have to download RedHat or Mandrake and burn them |
00:50.10 | highbury | SuSE don't provide .iso images, as a matter of policy |
00:50.41 | marko85_uk | dont any of u have any copies of anything |
00:50.43 | stephen | so that's why nobody runs SuSE |
00:50.51 | eye69 | Oh, so I got pointed out, did I? |
00:50.51 | marko85_uk | i would pay for it about 5 pounds |
00:50.53 | highbury | they both come on 3 CD's. Knoppix at least fits on one |
00:50.55 | eye69 | :) |
00:51.32 | dank_work | davilion: You dare - do you have me on a /query window? |
00:51.47 | davilion | no idea, |
00:52.46 | highbury | anyway good night guys, gotta pick up at Heathrow early tomorrow |

01:05.42 | davilion | then she left home and changed her phone and i moved and a few months ago she found me on the net and it turns out she lives not far from me, and anyway we kept missing each other |
01:05.46 | murble | oh and now you are both refugees down south? |
01:06.01 | stephen | i have a feeling that I shan't be at OxLUG tomorrow, too much work probably |

11:30.31 | formi | morning |
11:30.35 | Davilion | hi |
11:30.54 | Jenson | Morning guys |
11:31.20 | formi | i have a quick question before i go to have breakfast |
11:31.52 | formi | mr murble kindly donated a ethernet-to-serial cable |
11:32.36 | formi | on the machine with the nic, where do I point minicom to? |
11:33.07 | Jenson | ibot seen dankolb |
11:33.11 | | dankolb <~dankolb@spookhive.demon.co.uk> was last seen on IRC in channel #gllug, 1d 13h 3m 20s ago, saying: 'Bye resuDaed'. |
11:34.36 | Davilion | ethernet to serial cable? |
11:34.44 | Davilion | do you mean serial dongle one end, rj45 on the other? |
11:34.52 | formi | yeap |
11:35.44 | Jenson | Was Jess there with zach yesterday, coz she said she was going to be, but I never saw her. |
11:36.27 | formi | I don't think so |
11:36.48 | formi | appart zach didn't even go to the pub afterwards |
11:37.27 | Jenson | I really think I ought to get some food...I havent eaten anything worth eating since 7am yesterday |
11:39.42 | Davilion | formi: ok you need to plug it into a serial port |
11:39.45 | Davilion | on both ends |
11:40.18 | formi | shit |
11:40.36 | formi | murble didn't say anthing |
11:40.53 | Davilion | i can send you a serial plug if you like. that takes rj45 on one end, and you put the pins where you want them on the other. |
11:41.00 | Jenson | ooh ooh ohh, local computer fairs today.....best go find my dad |
11:41.25 | Davilion | heh |
11:41.37 | formi | what I have basically it's a 25pin serial and a rj45 cable |
11:42.11 | Davilion | what do you want to connect at each end? |
11:42.23 | formi | sparc to pc |
11:42.32 | Jenson | fucking hell, my mother is shouting at me again |
11:42.46 | formi | with that language no wonder |
11:42.55 | Davilion | does the sparc have rj45 serial port? or is it a din connector thingy? |
11:43.06 | Jenson | i'm not allowed to swear in front of my parents formi |
11:43.07 | formi | let me see |
11:43.40 | formi | so why do we have to stand you? |
11:43.41 | formi | your parents had all the guilt |
11:44.27 | Jenson | I as usual, have destroyed myself, and my boyfriend (that is if anyone else saw him sitting on the floor in front of everyone looking destroyed) |
11:44.46 | formi | Davilion: there are only 25 pin serial connectors + ethernet |
11:45.13 | Davilion | formi: ok, so you need, rj45 -> 9 pin ? |
11:45.57 | formi | i thought rj45 was to be connected to the nic |
11:46.18 | formi | I do have a 9-25 serial cable |
11:46.44 | formi | which funnily enough only works on the old freebsd laptop |
11:47.09 | formi | so until i manage to fix another kernel to support the pcmcia nic |
11:47.23 | formi | i have to sit in front of it |
11:55.01 | Davilion | no you can't connect serial to ethernet |
11:55.21 | Davilion | i think the reason for the plugs is that some sun's have rj45 serial ports |
11:55.25 | Davilion | as do some terminal servers |
11:55.39 | formi | ok lesson learnt |
11:55.56 | formi | you didn't stay for long yesterday |
11:56.07 | Davilion | no i went to get my laptop then a friend called to say she was nearby |
11:56.13 | Davilion | and i havent seen her in years so headed out. |
11:56.14 | Jenson | Davilion: You going to OxLUG? |
11:56.29 | Davilion | Jenson: possibly, it depends on how i feel later and what else happens today |
11:56.40 | Jenson | Davilion: If you do, look after Dan for me :) |
11:56.58 | Davilion | will do |
11:58.18 | formi | Jenson: feeling guilty today? |
11:58.35 | Jenson | formi: And what do you know of that I should feel guilty about? |
11:58.51 | formi | just asking |
11:59.19 | Jenson | A bit yeah, more confused than guilty, and I havent eaten for ages so I feel out of it |
12:02.10 | Davilion | felt really hungover |
12:02.22 | Davilion | i need to force feed myself mroe liquid when i drink i think. |
12:02.49 | Jenson | Davilion: Were you at the pub with the gllug guys, or with your mate? |
12:03.03 | Davilion | at home actually. was on the phone to friend for ages though. |
12:03.23 | Davilion | and the problem is that if i open a bottle of wine i may as well finish it sincce it will just go in the bin if i dont drink it. |
12:03.27 | Davilion | and it was a very nice drop. |
12:03.33 | Jenson | BRB |
12:03.39 | Davilion | woo! /me gets pxe working at last |
12:22.44 | Davilion | so now, when my machine boots, i can select, local boot, local boot with network kernel, diskless machine, memory test, or lnx-bbc rescue |
12:23.54 | Davilion | oh and this is all over the serial ine |
12:25.06 | gj_ | re |
13:06.57 | Jenson | i gotta go |

14:56.37 | dpash | including a two-parter |
14:56.39 | A4266 | I got a free copy of Suse yesterday :) |
14:56.47 | dpash | A4266: burn it |
14:56.47 | A4266 | lol |
14:57.00 | A4266 | can't. resuDaed has my copy at the mo :( |
14:57.03 | dpash | hmmm paige as a mermaid |
14:57.09 | Leeds | yeah :-) |
14:57.14 | dpash | hmmmm |
14:57.37 | Leeds | now watching Father Ted.. |
14:57.47 | A4266 | I'm not much of a charmed fan :( |
14:57.54 | Leeds | I don't actually watch Charmed - for the stories, anyway |
14:58.02 | A4266 | I prefer things like Star Trek and that sorta thing ;) |
14:58.09 | A4266 | lol |
14:58.36 | dpash | Leeds: nah, just mermaids |
14:58.51 | dpash | Leeds: besides you can never work out the larger plot with charmed |
14:59.12 | dpash | it doesn;t help that % and Living always seem to show them out of order |
14:59.16 | dpash | s/%/5/ |
14:59.23 | Davilion | heh |
14:59.31 | A4266 | ya, what bits I've seen almost always refere to older episodes |
14:59.33 | Leeds | I watch Buffy and Angel for the stories... :-) |
15:00.05 | A4266 | I got bored with those |
15:00.28 | A4266 | To much killing of the same old demons |
15:00.41 | Leeds | well, there are only about 15 episodes of Buffy left anyway |
15:00.46 | A4266 | All they did to spice it up was to change there names :P |
15:01.12 | Leeds | the current series is shaping up very nicely... |
15:01.54 | dpash | there was rumours of lesbians |
15:02.12 | Leeds | yes... Willow |
15:02.22 | Leeds | Jewish lesbian witch :-) |
15:03.19 | dpash | one day at band camp |
15:03.30 | A4266 | I thought that was old news willow being lezzy? |
15:03.35 | dpash | sorry I just can't get that character out of my mind when ever I see her |
15:03.49 | dpash | A4266: I haven;t watched it in about 2-3 years |
15:03.51 | Leeds | apart from the fact that her girlfriend got shot last year... she's got a new one later this year (later than Sky are) |
15:03.51 | A4266 | She and that other noob witch with the half whit hair |
15:03.57 | A4266 | ahh, I see |
15:04.22 | dpash | hmm Rogue from X-men |
15:04.51 | eye69 | Ey, any WLAN people here? Are there any 802.11g cards that work with Linux? I can't find any good info on either Google or consume.net. |
15:05.04 | A4266 | not as good looking as Rogue. And its only white from halfway down the length of it |
15:06.24 | A4266 | YUS!! Just found a site that I used to frequent a lot is back up at last!! :D |
15:06.33 | Leeds | eye69: I've not heard of any... |
15:06.37 | Leeds | A4266: which site then? |
15:06.56 | A4266 | www.staryards.com |
15:07.13 | A4266 | or was :/ Just seen that the domain seems to be up for grabs... |
15:07.57 | A4266 | not sure though now 'cause parts of it seem to be up? |
15:08.11 | A4266 | Like the download section and stuff |
15:09.42 | Leeds | maybe it's being rebuilt... |
15:10.25 | A4266 | not sure.. Ohh well. At lest the best parts are still up :) |

15:53.53 | eye69 | Hi Jenson |
15:56.41 | Davilion | heh |
15:57.01 | Davilion | sounds like my sister, she's constantly running up profits for bt |
16:04.32 | Jenson | Davilion: I constantly run up profits for T-Mobile, but other than the internet and calling Dan I don't really use the landline |
16:07.10 | Jenson | Does anyone know if ADSL modems that are suitable for Win 9x are also suitable for Linux....ie I don't want to be forced to use the internet in Win if I get ADSL |
16:08.19 | cupis | Jenson: best to try and get a 'modem' with an ethernet connection - this will definately work. USB/PCI DSL modems aren't supported too well under Linux. |
16:09.02 | Leeds | the speedtouch USB works - I'm on one now... but it's not nice, and it's not fun to setup |
16:09.24 | Jenson | Yeah it's £84.99 I see |
16:09.37 | Jenson | I have no idea how to compile my usb support into my kernel either |
16:09.41 | Jenson | I'm quite the idiot |
16:09.55 | Leeds | then avoid USB :-) |
16:10.06 | Jenson | Settinng up a dial up modem wasn't fun either |
16:10.11 | cupis | Jenson: you shouldn't need to compile USB support into your kernel. |
16:10.14 | Jenson | And setting up a printer took me hours |
16:10.28 | Jenson | cupis: People keep telling me I need to |
16:10.42 | Jenson | hey Leeds, I like you, coz you aren't too damn tall :) |

16:10.54 | Leeds | um, thanks, I guess |
16:10.55 | Davilion | <PROTECTED> |
16:10.57 | Davilion | any ideas whats causing that? |
16:11.01 | cupis | Jenson: don't believe everything you hear, |
16:11.18 | Leeds | Davilion: what's the context? new install or what? |
16:11.18 | Jenson | cupis: I forget who told me, Dan or zimm I think |
16:11.31 | cupis | Jenson: yeah, well. |
16:11.39 | eye69 | Davilion: What distro? |
16:11.52 | Leeds | I don't have it compiled in... means I can power down my USB ports to reload drivers without rebooting |
16:12.00 | Davilion | Leeds: diskless machine. i compiled a kernel, mkinitrd' then copied the two files into /tftpboot and told the machine to boot the new kernel and use the new initrd |
16:12.08 | eye69 | Oh |
16:12.09 | Davilion | it gets hte files ok, but then freaks whenit mounts them |
16:12.45 | Leeds | Davilion: 08:01 is the first IDE device... it's trying to boot from disk |
16:13.22 | Davilion | ahah. |
16:13.34 | Davilion | i thought it was something going on with the ramdisk |
16:13.40 | Davilion | in which case everytihng is working nicely |
16:13.41 | Davilion | well sorta |

16:16.48 | omphe | It's that big scary bright thing in the sky! :) |
16:17.36 | Jenson | Davilion: Me too, except I kinda didn't really bother to move until about 1pm |
16:18.31 | Leeds | it's the traditional post-GLLUG hangover :-) |
16:18.45 | omphe | cupis: I set up a halt user, as we discussed. |
16:18.57 | cupis | omphe: it works okay? |
16:19.15 | omphe | cupis: but it opens a fluxbox session, then when I open an xterm it shutsdown. |
16:19.32 | cupis | heh. oops |
16:19.54 | Jenson | Damn my mouse. I just lost the menus in Konqueror and now I've got the main toolbar in the middle of the screen |
16:20.05 | omphe | cupis: trawling for a way to circumvent fluxbox |
16:20.17 | omphe | cupis: you guys get out on the ice? |
16:20.39 | cupis | omphe: no. Found out that the rink was open 5pm - 8.30pm, so we just went to the pub. |
16:21.17 | omphe | ice skating/drinking always gave me a headache and bruises the next morning. |
16:22.08 | Leeds | what, drinking ice? |
16:23.08 | cupis | omphe: does the halt user have a homedir? |
16:23.21 | omphe | cupis: nope |
16:24.25 | cupis | omphe: give it one containing .xinitrc with the line '/bin/sh' in it? |
16:24.35 | cupis | omphe: or http://neilt.org/computing/xdmshutdownbutton.html |
16:24.53 | cupis | omphe: or the inittab (ctrl-alt-del) way: the line in my /etc/inittab is: |
16:25.00 | cupis | ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now |
16:25.25 | cupis | omphe: or try login.app or kdm |
16:26.00 | Davilion | i would imagine drinking ice would give you a sore throat |
16:26.06 | omphe | cupis: P90 laptop with 750MB hdd, no space for kdm |

18:28.07 | omphe | yeah, just a console login now. Why have a stripped down xdm when console login will suffice. |
18:28.57 | cupis | omphe: good point. and of course it solves your 'halt' problem nicely |
18:29.25 | omphe | thanks for the assistance |

20:20.28 | OrangeSkies | i need to plead for for help |
20:20.41 | andy | ok then go on |
20:20.42 | Leeds | andy: very true |
20:20.43 | Jenson | andy: How long you been using Linux anyway? |
20:20.51 | Jenson | sure OrangeSkies |
20:21.05 | OrangeSkies | heeeeeeeeelp! |
20:21.10 | andy | jenson kind of once before i came back to guildford! |
20:21.15 | OrangeSkies | ok, i'm done |
20:21.27 | Jenson | andy: Why didn't you take your linux box with you? |
20:22.32 | Leeds | OrangeSkies: you need real help? :-) |
20:22.35 | andy | jenson cos it's my dads and he actually uses it. this is the 1st time i been near any computer in about 2 months and even then it was only for porn! |
20:22.40 | OrangeSkies | haha |
20:23.01 | Leeds | andy: for reference, this channel is logged :-) |
20:23.15 | andy | leeds wha? |
20:23.21 | Jenson | by the ibot |
20:23.28 | andy | eh? |
20:23.34 | Jenson | ibot andy is a mate of Jenson's |
20:23.34 | | ...but andy is already something else... |
20:23.39 | Jenson | WTF |
20:23.41 | Jenson | ibot andy |
20:23.41 | | i heard andy is mailto:Andrew.Christian@compaq.com |
20:23.51 | andy | no |
20:23.52 | Leeds | don't replace that |
20:23.54 | Jenson | oooh did we used to have another andy? |
20:24.08 | Leeds | ibot lives in more that one channel - I invited him in here |
20:24.08 | | Leeds: I don't know, could you explain it? |
20:24.08 | Jenson | Leeds: I don't know how to replace it anway |
20:24.16 | andy | what u dun bex??!! |
20:24.26 | Jenson | andy: Nothing, just talking to the bot |
20:24.36 | Leeds | andy is one of the senior people on one of ibot's other channels |
20:25.49 | andy | who is the i bot? |
20:26.04 | Jenson | Leeds: Which file do I need to edit to change to change the mount access priviliges on the different drives |
20:26.23 | Jenson | ie I don't want people who ssh this box to have access to all the drives |
20:26.58 | Leeds | Jenson: you don't do it by drive on Linux, you do it by part of filesystem |
20:27.17 | Jenson | I know what I want to do |
20:27.26 | Jenson | I just forget what file it is I wanna edit |
20:28.00 | Leeds | it's not in a file |
20:28.05 | Jenson | andy: Ask ibot who he is type ibot ibot |
20:28.28 | andy | ibot ibot |
20:28.29 | | rumour has it, ibot is a blootbot now, no longer an infobot. run by BZFlag (TimRiker) on his server. see blootbot also http://blootbot.sourceforge.net/ it uses SQLite but can use MySQL or other SQL for storage. |
20:28.53 | andy | jenson ok |
20:30.11 | Jenson | Leeds: I mean the file that I need to edit to set the mount priviliges. I'll ask Dan, he understands me sometimes |
20:31.16 | Leeds | fstab |
20:31.21 | Jenson | that one! |
20:31.21 | Leeds | /etc/fstab |
20:31.22 | Jenson | lol |
20:32.22 | OrangeSkies | my turn Leeds... have u got any idea why i can connect to my isp on debian but can't get any data transfer? (sites won't load, i can't get onto irc etc) |
20:33.01 | Jenson | OrangeSkies: Sounds like a firewalling problem |
20:33.07 | Jenson | But I'm probably talking crap |
20:33.23 | andy | errrr |
20:33.36 | andy | have u all like got degrees in computing n stuff? |
20:33.50 | Jenson | andy: I havent |
20:33.54 | Jenson | Nor has my boyfriend |
20:34.02 | Jenson | or resudaed or davilion or zimm |
20:34.05 | Jenson | Loads of us havent |
20:34.09 | Jenson | Loads of us have |
20:34.43 | OrangeSkies | Jenson: i don't have a firewall going.. |
20:35.03 | Leeds | OrangeSkies: does traceroute do anything interesting? |
20:35.06 | OrangeSkies | andy: i might do in 6 years or so... starting comp. science in 2004 |
20:35.12 | Leeds | did you do anything about DNS? |
20:35.15 | OrangeSkies | i haven't tried |
20:35.18 | Jenson | OrangeSkies: Want me to ping you? |
20:35.19 | OrangeSkies | nope |
20:35.34 | OrangeSkies | it's ok i'm on XP atm (SORRY) so everything's working fine |
20:35.40 | Jenson | :) |
20:35.42 | Jenson | k cool |
20:35.48 | OrangeSkies | thanx neway |
20:36.07 | andy | do u ever talk bout normal stuff rather than all this techno stuff?? |
20:36.11 | OrangeSkies | when i click 'query modem' from kppp the AT(?) boxes come up blank |
20:36.30 | Jenson | we do |
20:36.31 | Jenson | yeah |
20:36.45 | Leeds | andy: this is a technical room - people do talk about other things, but it's primarily for techie chat |
20:37.01 | andy | bex didnt tell me that |
20:37.22 | Jenson | andy: I'm gonna have to reconnect in a minute so you'll have to meet me on msn so i can give you my new ip address so you can ssh in again |
20:37.27 | OrangeSkies | Leeds: what should i be doing with DNS/traceroute? |
20:38.22 | Leeds | OrangeSkies: try to traceroute to any machine name - and to a random IP address - if your link is up but you can't get anywhere, it's often DNS |
20:38.47 | andy | jenson ok then |
20:39.34 | OrangeSkies | ok... so what should i do about it? |
20:40.06 | Jenson | BRB reconnecting |

20:58.35 | andy | well at least it's not drugs!! |

20:59.56 | Leeds | hey davilion |
21:00.00 | bee | hi |
21:00.14 | Jenson | re davilion |
21:00.16 | andy | hey |
21:00.36 | Jenson | Leeds: Google, I'm lazy...oh well |
21:00.54 | Leeds | Jenson: me too - I followed a link - dunno the domain |
21:01.19 | Jenson | Leeds: :) but you always go out to the shop for bagels so you cant be too lazy |
21:02.32 | Jenson | Leeds: Is edonkey only command line based, or X based too? |
21:02.56 | Leeds | it's weird - there's a 'core' which is a command-line client, and a couple of GUIs - a java one and a GTK+ one |
21:03.20 | eye69 | Similar to the design of dc then |
21:03.41 | Leeds | think so |
21:03.59 | Jenson | oh good |
21:04.04 | Jenson | I didnt fancy command line clients |
21:04.08 | Leeds | the problem is that the protocol is closed-ish, and the core is closed, but the GTK gui is open |
21:04.16 | Leeds | third-party GTK client, that is |
21:04.36 | Jenson | Leeds: I havent successfully downloaded and compiled a program yet so I expect it'll be beyond me |
21:05.12 | eye69 | There's a first for everything |
21:05.37 | bee | im off now peeps |
21:05.39 | Jenson | Leeds: The URI is http://www.edonkey.com it seems |
21:05.41 | Jenson | cya bee |
21:05.52 | bee | cya all soon |
21:06.05 | Leeds | it's not hard, except that I got confused - the docs on the site are from the CVS version, which is broken, as opposed to the last release, which isn't |
21:07.17 | eye69 | Leeds: Do you know if the automounter configuration and design of Linux vs. Solaris is at all similar? |
21:08.01 | eye69 | My dad said he was going to install automounter support in Debian for his digital camera, but he only has exp. with Solaris. |
21:10.14 | Leeds | I don't think they're similar, but since I've never actually configured either, I can't really say :-) |
21:10.57 | eye69 | Oh well, I'll wait for his phonecall. :) |
21:11.17 | eye69 | Let him sweat for a while. |
21:11.33 | Jenson | eye69: Good idea :) |
21:11.43 | resuDaed | whats the best terminal prgram for linux? |
21:12.01 | eye69 | resuDaed: Terminal program? Du you mean as in serial terminal or X terminal? |
21:12.07 | resuDaed | serial |
21:12.08 | Leeds | minicom |
21:12.14 | eye69 | Yeah, minicom. |
21:12.20 | resuDaed | thanks |
21:12.34 | Leeds | it's really the only one unless you want to mess with tip or search out seyon |
21:13.24 | eye69 | The best terminal program I've ever used is Terminate, for DOS. |
21:13.38 | eye69 | Ended up with paying for it. |
21:13.49 | eye69 | Jenson: For using a modem, or other serial devices. |
21:13.59 | Leeds | I actually have a serial terminal... |
21:14.08 | eye69 | Jenson: Like configuring a switch over serial cable, for instance. |
21:14.19 | Jenson | eye69: Ah, I see :) |
21:15.02 | eye69 | Leeds: I had a couple. Worked for the local hospital in Sweden for a while. They used serial terminals for accessing an old AIX machine. |
21:15.28 | eye69 | Had a couple of "normal" terminals, and a small "flatscreen" one. |
21:15.58 | Leeds | I took one from my previous job... thought there was a chance I might need it someday :-) |
21:16.00 | eye69 | I need to install my IBM NetVista. |

21:25.41 | Jenson | The one who was clinging onto Dan |
21:26.00 | Jenson | The one who tried to tell resuDaed he's cute and it came out all wrong |
21:26.35 | andy | jenson how do u leave |
21:26.43 | Leeds | andy: /quit |
21:26.52 | Jenson | yeah then logout |
21:26.57 | andy | quit |
21:27.01 | Jenson | lol |
21:28.04 | OrangeSkies | this is prolly a really dumb question... but if i've got debian installed, can i install apps from the mandrake cds? |
21:28.27 | dpash | OrangeSkies: you can, bit I wouldn't |
21:29.02 | Jenson | andy just said to me on msn 'sorry, the geeks do my head in' lol |
21:29.11 | OrangeSkies | lol |
21:30.07 | OrangeSkies | dpash: why's that? |
21:30.24 | dpash | because they are not designed for debian |
21:30.29 | dpash | files may be in the wrong place |
21:30.47 | OrangeSkies | :/ ok i'll give it a miss |
21:30.48 | dpash | the wrong version of programs may be installed |
21:30.56 | OrangeSkies | just i dont have the debian cds |
21:30.57 | dpash | OrangeSkies: what do you want |
21:31.16 | eye69 | Install it from the net then. That's the way you're supposed to di it. |
21:31.20 | eye69 | s/di/do/ |
21:31.25 | OrangeSkies | i wanted to know in general |
21:31.35 | OrangeSkies | i can't get online from linux atm |
21:31.38 | Jenson | eye69: But he might be on dialup |
21:31.41 | OrangeSkies | can connect but that's all |
21:31.46 | OrangeSkies | yeah i'm on 56k |
21:31.47 | dpash | OrangeSkies: wvdial rocks |
21:32.00 | Jenson | yeah OrangeSkies me too |
21:32.07 | dpash | Jenson: nothing wrong with dialup |
21:32.10 | eye69 | Jenson: You can still download stuff, provided that it's not huge. |
21:32.18 | Jenson | I know |
21:32.23 | Jenson | I've been on dialup since 99 |
21:32.24 | OrangeSkies | 56k sucks : |
21:32.26 | OrangeSkies | :( |
21:32.45 | OrangeSkies | though it only took 2-3 hours to download the 3 mandrake iso's from college :D |
21:33.39 | Jenson | OrangeSkies: It was gonna take me about 45 hours to d/l Knoppix at home...and my burner wouldnt have burned an iso that sizze anyway |
21:34.17 | OrangeSkies | Jenson: that sucks, couldn't you get someone to dl it for u? |
21:34.59 | dpash | OrangeSkies: do you have a unix machine at college? |
21:35.00 | Jenson | OrangeSkies: I was only gonna use Knoppix to investigte linux |
21:35.17 | Jenson | I just bought slack for £6 at a fair instead |
21:35.21 | OrangeSkies | dpash: hell no hehe win2k all round |
21:35.39 | dpash | OrangeSkies: hmm okay that rules that out then |
21:36.08 | dpash | there is a thing called apt-zip, which creates a script which will download debs from a non debian machine |
21:36.19 | dpash | and then you carry them home on a zip disk etc |
21:36.25 | dpash | and then you can install them |
21:36.37 | dpash | I used to do that at uni |
21:36.44 | OrangeSkies | cool |
21:36.45 | eye69 | Heard about it, but never tried it. |
21:36.50 | Leeds | OrangeSkies: get a set from John |
21:36.52 | OrangeSkies | i might give it a go |
21:37.00 | OrangeSkies | Leeds: a set of what? |
21:37.06 | OrangeSkies | and who's john hehe |
21:37.06 | dpash | OrangeSkies: CDs |
21:37.11 | dpash | John Winters |
21:37.17 | OrangeSkies | oh... |
21:37.19 | dpash | linuxemporium.co.uk |
21:37.24 | Leeds | what he said :-) |
21:37.29 | OrangeSkies | hehe |
21:37.47 | Leeds | OrangeSkies: should have bought them from him yesterday |
21:37.50 | Jenson | OrangeSkies: One of those places all geeks should remember |
21:39.00 | Clyphox | back |
21:39.05 | OrangeSkies | i've not been seized by the geeky life style just yet |
21:39.25 | OrangeSkies | Leeds: i'll just download cds 1-3 from college, that should do me fine |
21:39.41 | Clyphox | What is a "geeky" life-style? |
21:39.42 | OrangeSkies | is 'traceroute' a command that u need to install? |
21:39.48 | Leeds | OrangeSkies: shouldn't be |
21:40.21 | OrangeSkies | it says command not found when i try and run it |
21:40.22 | Jenson | OrangeSkies: are you tracerouting from root or user? |
21:40.29 | OrangeSkies | Clyphox: where computers take over ur life |
21:40.35 | OrangeSkies | imho hehe |
21:40.48 | OrangeSkies | Jenson: i tried both, it worked from neither |
21:40.55 | Jenson | it should work from root |
21:41.03 | eye69 | OrangeSkies: Find the traceroute package for your distribution |
21:41.12 | eye69 | What distribution is it? |
21:41.31 | OrangeSkies | debian 3.0 (not sure if it's r1) |
21:41.35 | eye69 | apt-get install traceroute |

21:54.05 | OrangeSkies | Leeds: can you think of anything else i could use to analyze what's going on with my connection? |
21:54.48 | Jenson | OrangeSkies: This may sound silly, but in Win, I had the same problem with internet explorer.....have you tried using different browsers? |
21:54.53 | eye69 | OrangeSkies: Can you ping your gateway? |
21:55.26 | OrangeSkies | Jenson: nah just mozilla, i guessed it was the connection after i couldn't connect to any irc servers either |
21:55.42 | OrangeSkies | eye69: i dunno, what is my gateway? |
21:55.52 | eye69 | OrangeSkies: After connecting, run 'route -n' |
21:56.05 | OrangeSkies | ok, what will that do? |
21:56.09 | eye69 | The line having the tag "UG" is your gateway., |

23:04.39 | OrangeSkies | Leeds: ok, i'll check next time i run linux |
23:06.47 | Leeds | isn't sl a SLIP device? only reason I can think for that is that it's using diald... |
23:07.08 | Leeds | OrangeSkies: what's the IP of your machine? Do you have a network? |
23:07.41 | OrangeSkies | my IP changes everytime i connect |
23:07.57 | Leeds | cupis: he can get online, but can't get to any hosts |
23:07.57 | OrangeSkies | i run a network when my brother brings his pc to my house |
23:08.07 | Leeds | OrangeSkies: how do you actually know you're online? |

23:08.27 | OrangeSkies | Leeds: kppp makes out like it's connected |
23:08.39 | Leeds | cupis: I think it's DNS, but it's very very slow when he has to reboot back into XP to talk to us |
23:08.41 | dpash | OrangeSkies: it will do |
23:08.43 | OrangeSkies | and says i've been connected for xxx amount of time |
23:08.54 | highbury | re |
23:09.03 | dpash | OrangeSkies: it is only checking that pppd is running |
23:09.06 | Leeds | hmm... don't trust kppp (don't trust anything with a k at the start! :-) |
23:09.17 | dpash | not that the connection actually works |
23:09.23 | Leeds | OrangeSkies: when you think you're connected, run "/sbin/ifconfig" and look for information about ppp0 |
23:09.24 | OrangeSkies | hmmmmm... |
23:09.26 | cupis | OrangeSkies: when it says you are connected, you need to check the contents of /etc/resolv.conf and the output of 'route', 'ifconfig -a' and 'host www.cisco.com' |
23:09.45 | OrangeSkies | ok |
23:10.25 | cupis | anyone else got some pet commands or files for OrangeSkies to check? |
23:10.28 | Leeds | everyone shout random advice at OrangeSkies! :-) |
23:10.32 | OrangeSkies | lol |
23:10.47 | cupis | OrangeSkies: if you have wvdial/wvdialconf, try using that to connect instead of kppp |
23:10.50 | Leeds | I like wget, screen and python, but that's not important right now... |
23:11.33 | dpash | cupis: kppp is a wrapper around wvdial |
23:11.37 | OrangeSkies | cupis: i've tried wvdial after configuring, the same thing happens |
23:11.44 | Leeds | yeah, but you also prefer debian, so I'm not listening to you :-) |

23:20.42 | dpash | woot |
23:21.14 | KMD | Nice to be here. Any scsi users around ? |
23:21.21 | Leeds | yup |
23:21.31 | Clyphox | I have SCSI galore.. |
23:21.40 | Clyphox | 6 devices atm I think.. |
23:21.52 | Leeds | just sda for me :-) |
23:22.27 | KMD | Oh yeah ? hehehehe.... great !! Ever come across grub working well on a scsi boot ? |
23:23.14 | Leeds | never used grub |
23:24.09 | KMD | I dont want to either... Suse 8.1 defaults to it.... and my lovely lilo is laid low. lol |
23:24.11 | eye69 | Grub is actually very nice. |
23:24.34 | Leeds | I don't use suse either :-) |
23:25.16 | KMD | Bar , a little bug with SCSI drives, our grub. Damn |
23:25.26 | eye69 | 5 18GB SC SIdisks, 1 reader, 1 burner, 1 tapedrive, 2 MO drives |
23:25.31 | eye69 | All on the workstation :) |
23:25.59 | eye69 | KMD: Grub is working fine on my machine |
23:26.05 | eye69 | SCSI dualboot |
23:26.37 | KMD | 5 fujitsu MAN here... and cant get a boot from lilo. Grub everywhere. |
23:26.57 | eye69 | I've got 1 IBM and 4 Fujitsu MAE |
23:27.13 | eye69 | KMD: What's the ID config? |
23:27.20 | Leeds | (whoa, I've got Fear Factor on in the background - they're gassing competitors) |
23:27.23 | eye69 | Why run lilo? |
23:27.26 | KMD | And where is your boot ? hda or sda ? |
23:27.45 | eye69 | sdb |
23:27.53 | KMD | id0 ,of course... has been so for 2 years. |
23:28.13 | KMD | sda, of course, I meant. |
23:28.53 | KMD | lilo can see past most partition borders... |
23:29.41 | dpash | but can it boot kernels you haven't told it about? |
23:29.48 | Clyphox | I can't boot off my scsi due to bios issues.. only know lilo anyway sry |
23:30.01 | Leeds | I boot off scsi using lilo |
23:31.02 | KMD | Lilo is no problem... just grub being the default loader in SuSE 8.1 Wasn't so before this release. |
23:31.38 | KMD | Once in, I can switch over... Just getting there is the prob. |
23:32.04 | Leeds | boot from a rescue disk and use that to install lilo |
23:32.25 | dpash | KMD: grub allows you to run a command line |
23:32.55 | dpash | what is your problem with it exactly? |
23:33.06 | KMD | Doen't work...... because /etc/sysconfig/kernel has a slight prob, in 8.1 of being overwritten. |
23:33.21 | dpash | not sure i understand |
23:33.27 | dpash | how does it not work |
23:33.39 | dpash | does it not find your kernel? |
23:33.51 | KMD | I know..... it's a known bug for us SuSE user. |
23:33.53 | dpash | does it not get installed in the mbr? |
23:34.03 | highbury | KMD: I'm using SCSI and SuSE 8.1 |
23:34.09 | highbury | and grub |
23:34.25 | dpash | KMD: is it the machien you are usig now? |
23:34.26 | KMD | It does install... but cant work...if you're using scsi |
23:34.37 | highbury | my only problem is it not detecting my IDE drive for booting from |
23:34.37 | dpash | KMD: grub works fine with SCSI |
23:34.43 | KMD | I'm on another. |
23:34.50 | dpash | are you booting from IDE or SCSI? |
23:34.58 | dpash | where is your kernel |
23:35.05 | dpash | your /boot partition? |
23:35.29 | KMD | <PROTECTED> |
23:35.29 | dpash | KMD: boot the machine and get a grub prompt |
23:35.55 | highbury | I'm a SCSI SuSE user and I have no problem KMD |
23:36.00 | KMD | You'll get the prompt alright... And it locks up. |
23:36.28 | dpash | KMD: you should get it to sit at the prompt, not choosing any option in the menu |
23:36.36 | KMD | highness... what install did you use in 8.1. Fresh ? |
23:36.42 | highbury | just hit <esc> |
23:37.03 | highbury | I always install fully, rather than upgrade |
23:37.21 | dpash | and then runs away |
23:37.22 | highbury | I like to keep at least one working config |
23:37.32 | KMD | OK..Highbury will try that. |
23:37.43 | highbury | and not rely on debian crap :-p |
23:38.02 | highbury | KMD so you upgraded? |
23:38.19 | KMD | Dont worry about that. hehehe.... thought apt works well now on suse. |
23:38.55 | dpash | KMD: apt isn;t debian strenght |
23:39.20 | cupis | dpash: have you seen my email? |
23:39.32 | dpash | cupis: to who? |
23:39.42 | cupis | dpash: to santa |
23:39.48 | dpash | cupis: no |
23:39.50 | KMD | apt is good, I know... but not for this situation. |

23:41.19 | cupis | even |
23:41.31 | dpash | cupis: not sure what problem I was talking about |
23:41.43 | dpash | the package is evil as you've seen, but nothing in particular |
23:42.02 | dpash | I'll get back to working on it tomorrow as I've had OU stuff recently |
23:42.20 | cupis | dpash: okay - what I said in the email might be worth taking note of - should make life a little easier |
23:42.46 | OrangeSkies | Leeds: i get the message 'Starting ISDN services...' then 'Error starting ISDN services, please configure 'hisax' with modconf' as well :/ what isdn services? |
23:42.57 | OrangeSkies | Leeds: that's at startup btw |
23:42.59 | Leeds | isdn shouldn't matter... |
23:43.11 | dpash | cupis: yeah I probably will do something like that (or just run find -name Makefile.in -exec rm -f {} \; |
23:43.15 | dpash | ) |
23:43.22 | OrangeSkies | oh okayt |
23:43.23 | cupis | someone installed task-dialup... |
23:43.45 | dpash | OrangeSkies: apt-get --purge remove diald |
23:44.07 | dpash | Leeds: read my tutorial for replacing diald with pppd and wvdial |
23:44.09 | OrangeSkies | dpash: ok, sounds good to me |
23:44.25 | cupis | OrangeSkies: apt-get remove --purge isdn.* |
23:44.25 | Leeds | dpash: I don't care - I like pppd :-) |
23:44.45 | OrangeSkies | cupis: the more the merrier muhaha |
23:44.46 | dpash | Leeds: I like pppd. I don't like diald |
23:44.54 | OrangeSkies | anything else i can uninstall? |
23:45.27 | highbury | have you tried kinternet? |
23:45.36 | dpash | OrangeSkies: gnome-core? |
23:45.39 | OrangeSkies | no? |
23:45.50 | OrangeSkies | dpash: sorry, what does that mean? |
23:45.51 | cupis | highbury: kinternet? |
23:45.58 | dpash | OrangeSkies: ignore me |

23:46.11 | highbury | nice KDE dialup tool |
23:46.24 | OrangeSkies | highbury: chances are, i won't have it installed |
23:46.42 | OrangeSkies | 2.2.20-idepci <--- my kernel btw |
23:46.46 | Leeds | OrangeSkies: I recommend wvdial |
23:46.49 | Leeds | 2.2.20? ugh |
23:47.02 | OrangeSkies | Leeds: i've tried that as well, same thing |
23:47.13 | eye69 | OrangeSkies: What CPU do you have? |
23:47.23 | OrangeSkies | why am i so out of date? resuDaed only installed everything for me yesterday... |
23:47.28 | OrangeSkies | P4 |
23:47.35 | Leeds | OrangeSkies: get rid of diald - try wvdial *instead* |
23:47.43 | eye69 | OrangeSkies: apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-686 |
23:47.47 | OrangeSkies | Leeds: ok |
23:48.10 | cupis | eye69: dialup, and OrangeSkies doesn't want to/can't d/l that now. |
23:48.16 | Leeds | eye69: we're trying to debug his net connection, which is dead - he's using winxp now - and he's on dialup |
23:48.20 | OrangeSkies | eye69: i need to dl the kernel from college tomorrow, i can't download all 8mb of it tonight |
23:48.21 | eye69 | Didn't think about that |
23:49.02 | Leeds | eye69: well maybe you should have! :-) |

23:50.32 | cupis | OrangeSkies: what sort of modem do you have? |
23:50.35 | OrangeSkies | cupis: when i run modconf it says it's installed |

23:51.00 | OrangeSkies | cupis: what d'you mean? sorry for being dumb |
23:51.07 | cupis | OrangeSkies: it says _what_ is installed? |
23:51.13 | cupis | oh slip |
23:51.16 | OrangeSkies | it's not a winmodem as far i know btw |
23:51.18 | OrangeSkies | yeah |
23:51.52 | cupis | OrangeSkies: okay. It appears that having diald installed may be causing you problems. You should really remove it and either yuse ppp directly, or wvdial/kppp. |
23:52.18 | OrangeSkies | cupis: ok, i'll go try it out now |
23:52.19 | dpash | we all seem to vote for wvdial |
23:52.32 | OrangeSkies | dpash: it seemed friendly when i ran it |
