00:12.54 | resuDaed_ssh | ping everyone |
00:13.03 | murble | pong |
00:13.25 | Leeds | pong |
00:14.43 | resuDaed_ssh | murble : do you know the modem command to dial out, but not attempt to detect a carrier? (ie so that a phone can be picked up on the same line, then the modem hang up and no horrible noises)? |
00:14.51 | resuDaed_ssh | or Leeds for that matter |
00:15.30 | Leeds | I think I used to use atd |
00:16.18 | Leeds | when I wrote myself a dialler in tcl/tk about 6 years ago :-) |
00:17.12 | davilion | poong |
00:17.56 | resuDaed_ssh | davilion : a moment ago I had 5 seconds lag |
00:18.06 | resuDaed_ssh | thanks Leeds |
00:19.10 | pdr | atdt for tone dialling |
00:19.13 | pdr | pong |
00:19.15 | pdr | :) |
00:19.41 | resuDaed_ssh | pdr : but if you use atdt it will attempt to detect a carrier |
00:19.46 | davilion | yeah but if you atdt it will then try to negotiate |
00:19.56 | pdr | oh ok |
00:20.13 | pdr | so you can just use 'atd123'? |
00:21.11 | pdr | iirc, you have to do 'atdt123' or 'atdd123' the latter for decadin dialling |
00:22.59 | resuDaed_ssh | I shall check |
00:25.24 | Leeds | the t is pretty much optional now |
00:25.54 | Leeds | I think it will listen for a carrier, but not try to initiate a connection - there's probably an S register you can play with |
00:28.10 | pdr | Leeds: that sounds more like it |
00:30.13 | Leeds | I have many things "somewhere in my flat" - doesn't mean I can produce them |
00:30.54 | resuDaed_ssh | ok, /me has a problem ... |
00:31.11 | resuDaed_ssh | 2 serial ports, 1 serial mouse, 1 unconfigured cisco router and an external modem |
00:31.26 | resuDaed_ssh | :( |
00:31.38 | Leeds | do without the mouse |
00:32.05 | Leeds | assuming it's only temporary while you configure the router |

09:16.26 | Tarragon | Hi dpash |
09:17.59 | SpudULike | Teachers strike, hence no word about the book day. |
09:18.41 | SpudULike | dpash: Next time you see me, look more closely! |
09:21.04 | dpash | SpudULike: were you there on Saturday? |

09:22.02 | Tarragon | dpash: The twitching eyes, the constant strain to stay awake, the temper forever about to vary, or he crossdresses - hard to say really |
09:22.14 | SpudULike | ;-) |
09:23.43 | SpudULike | You remember the poor sod that no one would open the door for so that he could get into the downstairs bar with three pints? |
09:23.54 | dpash | ah yes |
09:23.54 | SpudULike | That wasn't me. |

15:25.08 | Tarragon | Is OpenBSD more secure than Linux? Is so why. And if so why does everyone not change to it? |
15:27.00 | dank_work | It doesn't do SMP |
15:27.09 | dank_work | Doesn't have as many desktop features |
15:27.15 | dank_work | Doesn't support pthreads |

15:27.28 | nasrat | "out of the box" |
15:27.30 | dank_work | And makes a great server or firewall |
15:27.56 | nasrat | Tarragon: If you want a secure linux distro try Owl |
15:28.05 | dank_work | It's likely the code is more secure than the Linux code |

15:30.49 | dank_work | highbury: Hence the code is likely to be more secure |
15:31.07 | highbury | Linux distros are hampered by being so big, there's soo much to audit, in terms of checking for poor code/buffer overflows etc |
15:31.31 | dank_work | OpenBSD doesn't audit the ports tree |
15:31.35 | dank_work | Only their core distribution |
15:32.00 | highbury | true Dan |
15:32.44 | nasrat | owl is audited by Solar Designer though http://www.openwall.com/Owl/ |
15:32.53 | pequod | im thinkin of moving to bsd |
15:33.37 | pequod | linux really sux |
15:33.49 | dank_work | :) |
15:34.23 | pequod | the only thing good about linux is the drivers |
15:35.02 | highbury | and its success |
15:35.05 | pequod | i hear bsd dont have much supported hardware? |
15:35.12 | dank_work | That's not true |
15:35.22 | dank_work | They had better USB and wireless networking before Linux did |
15:35.29 | highbury | there's just not as many people working on stuff |

15:43.41 | pequod | i dont like to rush myself |
15:44.19 | highbury | why 2.2? |
15:44.32 | pequod | and its not something thats urgent im probably going to use XIP instead |
15:45.48 | pequod | it's just that i have already done alot of hacking on 2.2 and can't be bothered moving to 2.4 |
15:46.21 | pequod | 2.2 is a bit smaller too |

15:48.33 | nasrat | true - both too big for me |
15:48.41 | pequod | that may also be a reason to move to bsd |

15:49.24 | dank_work | Good for teaching |

15:50.41 | nasrat | pequod: yeah, it's ok if you know C already :) |

21:32.28 | pdr | which distro are you using? |
21:32.54 | marko85_uk | hey pdr |
21:32.59 | marko85_uk | i am using red hat linux 8.0 |
21:33.12 | marko85_uk | i tried everything |
21:33.24 | marko85_uk | xf86config |
21:33.27 | pdr | ok, do you have either XF86Setup or Xconfigurator? |
21:33.39 | marko85_uk | i tried redhat-config-xfree86 |
21:33.41 | pdr | they're much nicer than xf86config which is *very* old |
21:33.52 | marko85_uk | i tried xconfigurator |
21:34.02 | marko85_uk | only thing that works is setup |
21:34.40 | pdr | can you not get the redhat config program to work? |
21:35.42 | marko85_uk | pdr i dont know if i am typing the right command |
21:35.47 | marko85_uk | i mean everyone tells me that |
21:35.55 | marko85_uk | and it doesnt seem to work |
21:36.06 | pdr | are you using a shell which has 'completion'? |
21:36.33 | marko85_uk | i am not sure that i understand what completion is |
21:38.11 | pdr | 'completion' is when you hit the TAB key to complete a command (if one exists). when you're first starting out, it's an easy way to find the right spelling of a command. |
21:38.43 | marko85_uk | i think Xconfigurator |
21:38.46 | marko85_uk | is case sensitive |
21:38.57 | pdr | it's all case sensitive :-) |
21:39.04 | pdr | that's where completion is nice |
21:39.06 | marko85_uk | well no one told me that |
21:39.06 | marko85_uk | hehe |
21:39.13 | marko85_uk | ill be back soon ok |
21:39.26 | pdr | you can type Xconf and then hit TAB twice to list possible commpletions |
21:40.25 | pdr | [note to any sticks: I'm aware that POSIX completion is ESC ESC, but I'm guessing he's using default bash setup.] |
21:41.32 | dpash | hi all |
21:41.47 | pdr | hi dave |
21:41.57 | dpash | pdr: POSIX can kiss my furry arse |

21:44.27 | dpash | cache |
21:44.52 | pdr | sounds like something you don't want to do |
21:44.59 | pdr | for what purpose? |
21:45.31 | dpash | pdr: I have a site where a web filter is using a squid box as a cache, but it isn;t caching anything |
21:45.43 | dpash | I think the webfilter is telling it not to cache anything |
21:45.55 | dpash | I need to force it to cache stuff |
21:46.17 | pdr | do the urls have "?"s in them? I'm pretty sure that squid won't cache if that's the case. |
21:47.18 | dpash | grep HIT access.log | wc -l = 0 |
21:47.29 | dpash | alll day every day |
21:47.40 | dpash | you can't tell me that everything is uncacheable |
21:47.54 | pdr | this is general traffic? |
21:48.07 | dpash | all I can think of is that the webfilter is using the Cache-control header to prevent caching |
21:48.13 | dpash | pdr: it is a school |
21:48.18 | pdr | are you sure it's going through squid at all? |
21:49.01 | dpash | wc access..og > 0 |
21:49.39 | pdr | maybe squid's in "web acceleration" mode.. |
21:50.56 | dpash | nope |
21:51.08 | dpash | fairly default squid config |
21:51.21 | dpash | I can't work out why it isn;t working |
21:51.30 | dpash | I think I'll have ot have a nother look at it |

22:23.11 | dpash | TINC? |
22:23.40 | cupis | there is no cabal |
22:23.45 | dpash | cupis: you assume that 1655 people will stand for the seats |
22:23.49 | cupis | dpash: don't you read -devel? |
22:23.55 | dpash | cupis: bollocks look at them |

22:25.14 | cupis | 1655? 115? 15? |
22:25.21 | dpash | 15 seats |
22:25.38 | dpash | so any less than that and I get a seat by default |
22:25.56 | dpash | any more than that then I get to use my wonderful platform |
22:26.27 | dpash | I represent the non-old part of the village |
22:26.48 | dpash | I don't have any alterative motive |
22:27.13 | dpash | I was cheap housing in the village |

22:37.06 | cupis | <Madkiss> Qt3 rc-bug-free |

23:26.37 | marko85_uk | i still didnt manage to fix my problem |
23:26.46 | marko85_uk | i got into xf86config |
23:26.59 | marko85_uk | but i dont see where i can just change the type of my video card |
23:27.12 | marko85_uk | i can just change the refresh rate and memory of the card |
23:27.25 | marko85_uk | but i am unable to change it from SIS 640 to SIS 520 |
23:27.34 | cupis | marko85_uk: what distro are you using? |
23:27.40 | marko85_uk | red hat |
23:27.43 | marko85_uk | 8.0 |
23:28.27 | cupis | marko85_uk: don't redhat have a gui config tool to use instead of xf86config? |
23:28.33 | dankolb | XConfigurator |
23:28.36 | marko85_uk | bro my x wont start |
23:28.49 | marko85_uk | i typed x and i press tab and it should list all the commands |
23:28.59 | dankolb | It starts with a capital X |
23:29.00 | cupis | marko85_uk: you could edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 firectly. |
23:29.14 | marko85_uk | and i didnt manage to find the one that says XConfigurator |
23:29.20 | pdr | marko85_uk: to get the list, you hit TAB twice. |
23:29.28 | marko85_uk | i did |
23:29.32 | marko85_uk | and i got the list |
23:29.35 | pdr | marko85_uk: cool |
23:29.44 | marko85_uk | and i didnt manage to find anything that says xconfigurator |
