01:40.23 | formi | can you help me with something? |
01:40.44 | formi | # This leafnode+ has limited ability to use ssh. In order to use it, |
01:40.44 | formi | # SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is needed to allow ssh executed |
01:40.44 | formi | # from fetchnews to connect NNTP servers automatically. |
01:40.44 | formi | # |
01:40.44 | formi | #server = news2.foo.or.jp |
01:40.45 | formi | #username = userfoo |
01:40.47 | formi | #password = passwdfoo |
01:40.49 | formi | #viahost = localhost |
01:40.51 | formi | #port = 1234 |

01:40.56 | formi | . |
01:41.29 | formi | how do you do a "su foo" without providing a passwd ? |
01:42.10 | stephen | don't think you can, unless you're root |
01:42.29 | formi | I see |
01:42.57 | stephen | and I think sudo allows superuser access, you can't get it to use a different UID |
01:43.03 | stephen | +only |
01:43.11 | formi | and i suppose you have to run some ssh-pass daeom thing to catter for the passed of ssh |
01:43.46 | stephen | client side? |
01:43.59 | formi | yeap |
01:44.10 | formi | look at the preconnect command |
01:44.31 | formi | im trying to work what is needed so that it runs without user input |
01:44.42 | stephen | ever used expect? |
01:44.56 | formi | via ssh? |
01:45.08 | stephen | no, on the client side |
01:45.26 | formi | nope, but i know what is supposed to do |
01:46.00 | stephen | I've only used it to automate /bin/passwd, but it could handle your ssh password too |
01:46.10 | formi | im thinking to adapt the preconnect command to automatically put up my ssh tunnel to a squid server |
01:46.39 | formi | and obviously to my news server |
01:47.13 | stephen | yer, you're trying to encrypt your NNTP traffic? |
01:47.34 | formi | I thought you couldn't do ssh port forwarding without being root |
01:47.59 | formi | -su-2.05b# ssh -C -c blowfish -L 300:ns:119 -L 80:ns:312 ns |
01:47.59 | formi | Enter passphrase for key '/root/.ssh/id_rsa': |
01:48.16 | formi | I already do it, but i fire it up by hand |
01:48.23 | stephen | you can be any user, I use ssh -L as user stephen to encrypt my irc traffic |
01:48.46 | stephen | as long as you try to bind to a port >1024 client-side |
01:49.11 | formi | very interesting |
01:50.10 | formi | but if you forward a port over 1024, isn't there the possibility of somebody connecting to that port? |
01:50.49 | stephen | yes, it's just a tunnel, anyone can use it, so there needs to be some kind of login server-side |
01:53.09 | formi | i suppose you run an irc proxy on the server side of you irc ssh tunnel |
01:53.33 | stephen | yeah |
01:53.46 | formi | that is no good for me |
01:54.16 | formi | have you ever met kim hawtin? |
01:54.25 | stephen | no |

01:55.20 | stephen | couldn't you just disable all the ssh just in leafnode, and just get it to connect to a port >1024 on localhost, which forwards to port 119 on the server |
01:55.25 | resudaed_ssh | how do I 'kill' a user (by non-lethal methods) |

01:56.33 | formi | su user kill |
01:56.39 | stephen | you don't want to kill them all? |
01:56.55 | formi | if you are user, you can't kill your root shell |

01:57.23 | resudaed_ssh | logged in multiple times (locally and ssh) |
01:57.47 | resudaed_ssh | I want to log them out, but not all of them |
01:58.06 | stephen | use who -l to show you which ones are local |
01:58.23 | resudaed_ssh | stephen : but then how can I kill them individually |
01:58.29 | formi | you could for ie, change to csh and kill all bashes |
01:58.36 | stephen | kill pid_of_bash |
01:58.56 | resudaed_ssh | stephen : and how do I know which PIDs are which? |

02:06.21 | resudaed_ssh | ie take a text range |
02:06.39 | formi | gosh |

14:29.11 | dankolb | Umm....it tells you exactly how to untar the file |
14:29.28 | dankolb | You just need to replace <archivename> with the name of the downloaded file |
14:29.56 | marko85_uk | i type tar -zxvf Intel-v92ham.tgz |
14:30.00 | marko85_uk | but it doesnt seem to do it |
14:30.08 | marko85_uk | do i need to type the location of the file |
14:30.08 | dankolb | Why not? |
14:30.12 | dankolb | What does it do/say? |
14:30.37 | its-formi | marko85_uk: unless you are in the same folder as that file, yes |
14:30.54 | its-formi | works like in DOS |
14:30.55 | Clyphox | My boss just did a guest apearance sorry.. |
14:31.01 | marko85_uk | well i wasnt what would the correct location for the floppy be |
14:31.01 | dankolb | Heh. :) |
14:31.13 | dankolb | /mnt/floppy/Intel-v92ham.tgz |
14:31.48 | its-formi | marko85_uk: you also need to add a path to the destination you want for the files |
14:31.51 | marko85_uk | thanks dankolb |
14:32.04 | marko85_uk | what do u mean formi? |
14:32.05 | dankolb | its-formi: It'll extract it into the current directory, otherwise |

14:32.29 | dankolb | Yes |
14:32.31 | marko85_uk | how do i know where i unzipped the file |
14:32.36 | marko85_uk | is |
14:32.45 | its-formi | dankolb: not funny to extract on the floppy |
14:32.58 | dankolb | The -v option to tar will have told it to display the list of files as it's extracting |
14:33.33 | *** join/#gllug cupis (~paul@modem-815.baboon.dialup.pol.co.uk) |
14:33.37 | marko85_uk | ok and how do i cd into to the directory |
14:33.51 | dankolb | cd Intel-v92ham-421 |
14:34.02 | its-formi | strangely enough cd directory |
14:34.30 | marko85_uk | its formi i never unzipped the file before so be considerate |
14:34.40 | its-formi | marko85_uk: GO TO sourceforge.net AND DOWNLOAD rute!!! |
14:34.41 | marko85_uk | u helped me a lot and have a nice oppinion of u so dont dissapoint me |
14:35.35 | its-formi | marko85_uk: but come on, not knowing how to cd to a directory falls as low as not knowing how to wipe your backside |
14:35.52 | marko85_uk | well lets just say i never had a chance to experiance linux |
14:35.54 | marko85_uk | or use it |
14:36.22 | dankolb | 'cd' is the same as DOS |
14:36.24 | its-formi | didn't ever cross your mind to use CD as in dos? |
14:36.35 | marko85_uk | well i know how to use a dos a bit |
14:37.02 | marko85_uk | dankolb once i cd into the directory i need to type |
14:37.05 | marko85_uk | make clean |
14:37.07 | marko85_uk | make ham |
14:37.09 | dankolb | Yes. |
14:37.10 | marko85_uk | and make install |
14:37.14 | dankolb | Yup |
14:37.15 | its-formi | DOS was the idea of what unix should never be |
14:37.43 | marko85_uk | well you would expect DOS to be simialar to unix mainly because Bill Gates was |
14:37.53 | marko85_uk | Unix programmer |
14:37.58 | its-formi | a prick? |
14:38.02 | dankolb | But he didn't write DOS |
14:38.04 | marko85_uk | ill go and try to do that |
14:38.05 | Clyphox | DOS was bought by MS not made by MS.. |
14:38.28 | marko85_uk | well origianly DOS was addopted my MS |
14:38.29 | Clyphox | it was a OS called QDOS.. Quick and Dirty OS (lol) |
14:38.37 | dankolb | Which was a clone of CPM/86 |
14:38.43 | Clyphox | [nod] |
14:38.43 | marko85_uk | hehe ill go now |
14:38.44 | its-formi | Clyphox: how much did m$ change the os they bought? |
14:38.48 | marko85_uk | speak in a bit |
14:39.00 | dankolb | They didn't change too much originally |
14:39.12 | dankolb | But developed it a lot |
14:39.16 | dankolb | As time went on |
14:39.20 | Clyphox | its-formi, they changed the name and very little else then flogged it to IBM for a 10year contract and.. bad-a-bing.. they were bigger then IBM :-) |
14:40.35 | its-formi | i wonder how many things like "no-case-sensitiveness" were done by m$hit |
14:40.57 | Clyphox | That was cp-m afaik |
14:40.59 | dankolb | strtoupper() |
14:41.04 | Clyphox | cp-m was cool :-) |
14:41.16 | dankolb | Erm. About 4 |
14:41.38 | Clyphox | but I have the daisy-chain printer :P |
14:41.43 | dankolb | It's okay. You still have one year to catch up |
14:41.44 | its-formi | it looks to me like a way to avoid having to add more code |
14:41.46 | dankolb | Daisy-chain printer? |
14:41.50 | Clyphox | with spare ribbins/wheels :-) |
14:41.50 | dankolb | Daisy-wheel? |
14:41.59 | Clyphox | er.. sry.. got sex on the mind |
14:42.03 | dankolb | :) |

15:56.09 | pdr | hi stig |
15:56.18 | Skuggan | hey people! :) |
15:57.10 | Skuggan | the last one (patch-16) means he not only took my bugfixes but merged in all my new features as well :) |
15:57.37 | pdr | number 7. |
15:57.39 | pdr | The larch. |
15:58.00 | pdr | Skuggan: nice work |
15:58.09 | dankolb | Food time |
15:58.09 | dankolb | Bye |
15:58.16 | pdr | l8r |
15:58.21 | pdr | Skuggan: what's the package? |
15:58.47 | Skuggan | pdr, package-framework -- a compelling replacement for autoconf/automake (and eventually libtool) |
15:59.00 | pdr | oooh, sounds cool |
15:59.22 | dpash | pdr: the larch was numbr 4 iirc |
15:59.30 | Skuggan | it's still not very mature, but it's very nice. handles only C (and with a small hack: C++) of the compiled languages yet though. |
15:59.38 | pdr | dpash: i disagree |
15:59.44 | Skuggan | `the larch'? |
16:01.24 | Skuggan | my additions was for compiling (and installing) documentation from LaTeX sources into ps, pdf, html & txt in addition to installation of datafiles. |
16:02.15 | resuDaed | ibot seen Clyphox|omw |

16:03.13 | pdr | Skuggan: i will have to check it out |
16:03.47 | resuDaed | is now 04:02pm, only 5 mins walk :S |
16:03.58 | Skuggan | pdr, i see. well, the `larch' referred to in the mail I cited is the arch revision control system (where I also just had some patches accepted, but of substantially less stature) |
16:04.55 | pdr | have you looked at a-a-p ever? |
16:07.13 | Skuggan | pdr, åp? what's that? |
16:07.22 | Skuggan | damn. |
16:07.34 | Skuggan | a-a-p, what's that? |
16:07.43 | Skuggan | stupid autocorrection script... |
16:08.21 | pdr | bram moolenaar (of vim fame) is writing a make replacement |
16:09.15 | pdr | www.a-a-p.org |
16:11.40 | Skuggan | pdr, i see. i'll have a look at it. |
16:11.58 | pdr | as for the larch, it was also a monty python sketch |
16:13.24 | Skuggan | package-framework is heavily relying on GNU make, which is actually very good, and `as portable as possible' shell scripts (and an ounce of C) |

16:57.02 | Skuggan | the coolest football player alive: http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=47599 -- the tiny norwegian midfielder on the sidewalk, 04:30 wednesday night before match on sunday, challenging people to armwrestle him :D |
16:57.30 | Skuggan | he's the only football player I like and respect. |
16:57.42 | Skuggan | he's not in it for the money or the fuss, he just like playing ball. |
17:00.22 | Skuggan | oh, I don't watch football. I hate it in fact, I just like that player :P |
17:00.31 | Skuggan | he's sooooo cool ;P |
17:01.15 | Skuggan | the rest of the team goes to a press conference to boost their ego's -- mykland (that's his name) lounges at the poolside ;) |
17:01.34 | Skuggan | s,',, |
17:01.37 | pdr | cool |
17:03.05 | Skuggan | whoa. easy on the apostrophes there! :P |
17:03.29 | pdr | i do like people who don't take life so seriously though - it's one thing to be in your national football team, and another to be cool about it |
17:04.16 | Skuggan | yeah. he got in it quite badly for going to a bar during EC or WC i think... |
17:04.28 | pdr | lol |
17:06.04 | Skuggan | he's technically the best player Norway has, but lacks speed. he's only 5ft6 or something (but _still_ tackles like a god) |
17:06.18 | Skuggan | oh, and he can't shoot for shit ;P |
17:06.55 | Skuggan | his passes are godstruck though |
17:47.13 | pdr | dpash: ouch |
17:47.56 | pdr | how about that movie: "two weeks notice"? |
17:48.34 | pdr | they probably couldn't work out which side of the s to put the apostrophe, so decided to just leave it out. bloody seppos. |
17:51.06 | dpash | pdr: why should it have one? |
17:51.21 | dpash | pdr: weeks is not possesive |
17:51.40 | pdr | in my books it is |
17:52.12 | dpash | pdr: weeks is plural, but doesn't own the notice |
17:52.25 | pdr | would you then say "one week notice"? |
17:52.32 | pdr | or "one week's notice"? |
17:53.33 | dpash | but that would imply that the notice belonged to the week |
17:54.03 | pdr | it might not 'belong' to it, but it still requires use of the possesive |
17:54.42 | dpash | http://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/grammarlogs4/grammarlogs543.htm |
17:57.53 | dpash | http://www.lessontutor.com/eesapostrophe.html |
18:00.14 | dpash | pdr: so it is weeks'but I still don't think it is possessive but never mind |
18:00.37 | pdr | the latter doesn't really cover our case, and I'd also disagree with a few of their rules |
18:00.51 | pdr | :-) |
18:01.15 | pdr | not worth arguing about anyway |
18:04.44 | pdr | although it's wrong either way, since without the apostrophe you'd need a hyphon since two describes weeks, not notice. i.e. "two-weeks notice" |

20:00.03 | eye69 | What FS on the Windows partition? |
20:00.46 | OrangeSkies | its FAT32 |
20:00.56 | OrangeSkies | linux is on my primary master |
20:01.04 | OrangeSkies | windows on secondary master |
20:01.13 | OrangeSkies | windows was installed first |

20:01.44 | OrangeSkies | erm... how d'you check again? i forgot hehe |

20:03.23 | OrangeSkies | when i try to boot straight into windows the screen just goes black |
20:03.59 | OrangeSkies | the first time i tried to mount it from linux it opened, but then i tried to get into one of my folders and it crashed like it does first time now |
20:04.43 | eye69 | What Win version? |
20:04.55 | eye69 | Windows generally can't cope with not being on the first disk. |
20:05.03 | OrangeSkies | windows xp |
20:05.08 | OrangeSkies | pro |
20:05.28 | eye69 | You mostly need to do some drive swapping in your boot manager to be able to do that. |
20:06.05 | Leeds | ntfs? |
20:06.14 | OrangeSkies | nah its FAT32 |
20:07.16 | OrangeSkies | i'm gonna fiddle around with my hard disks |
20:07.20 | eye69 | There's no real reason why that would make Linux lockup though. |

20:33.06 | Leeds | marko85_uk: did you install the kernel source? |
20:33.10 | *** join/#gllug winjer (~winjer@217.204.76.171) |
20:33.27 | marko85_uk | well i dont think i have i just download the first three discs |
20:33.35 | marko85_uk | i thought the other 3 are the source code and stuff |
20:33.49 | Leeds | absolutely not your fault... but I think that distros which don't install kernel source (at least headers) and separate libraries from their headers are *broken by design* |
20:34.09 | marko85_uk | broke by desing means shit? |
20:34.22 | Leeds | I don't know what it's called - I don't use RedHat, remember - but the kernel source should be somewhere on the 'binary' CDs |
20:34.38 | marko85_uk | the once i didnt download |
20:34.49 | marko85_uk | fucking hell how many problems will i have :( |
20:34.50 | Leeds | not quite shit - just that they've decided to do things in a way which causes no end of problems for people - like your problem now |
20:36.09 | marko85_uk | leeds if me i concied myself to have a bit of ICT knowledge can not install red hat and get it to work for 5 weeks how is some newbie that decided to learn linux straight away do it? |
20:36.16 | Leeds | the RPM you need is called kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm and it's not listed as a source RPM, so it should be on the binary CDs |
20:36.52 | Leeds | first thing - don't use RedHat :-) I think Mandrake is currently the king of the easy-install... and don't use semi-supported hardware like dodgy modems |
20:37.47 | SpudUAway | Nah, think SuSE is King of Easy Install |
20:37.48 | Leeds | if you don't have that RPM, you can get it from ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm |
20:37.53 | marko85_uk | someone told me that but u know me always want my own way |
20:38.09 | SpudUAway | Mandrake is easier to download though! |
20:38.10 | marko85_uk | how big is that file? |
20:38.34 | Leeds | unfortunately, if you always want your own way... you need to do a bit of work to make it your way... |
20:38.37 | Leeds | about 28Mb |
20:39.03 | marko85_uk | i am doing work :) but maybe not enough of it hehe |
20:39.25 | eye69 | Debian has a separate headers debfile with the headers configured for the running kernel...I don't know if RH has something equivalent. |
20:39.43 | marko85_uk | why there are some people that just wack red hat in install and enjoy and me having to configure every single peace of hardware |
20:40.00 | eye69 | Like if I run 2.4.18-i686 I would install kernel-headers-2.4.18-i686 |
20:40.05 | Leeds | eye69: I'd expect it to be called something like kernel-headers, and that's not there... I think slack has a similar thing |
20:40.43 | Leeds | since I only use the Linus kernel (plus any needed patches), it doesn't really apply to me... |
20:40.53 | eye69 | Me neither. |
20:41.03 | eye69 | Updating CV is boring |
20:41.16 | marko85_uk | leeds do u think that file i need would be on the first 3 discs? |
20:41.42 | eye69 | Search on the discs for any file matching *header* |
20:41.44 | Leeds | marko85_uk: probably - I don't have the CDs, so I can't tell... it certainly *should* be, unless RedHat have completely lost it... |
20:41.54 | Leeds | eye69: I'm looking on the FTP... |
20:42.10 | marko85_uk | thanks leeds |
20:42.15 | marko85_uk | eye69 how do i do that |
20:42.51 | eye69 | Mount the CD, run 'find /cdrom | grep -i header' |
20:43.35 | Leeds | better to find /cdrom/RedHat/RPMS |
20:43.45 | marko85_uk | and how do i do that |
20:44.00 | marko85_uk | i write everything then i boot into linux and try those out |
20:45.24 | marko85_uk | i can just right click on the desktop and access the CD |
20:46.34 | Leeds | go to d:\RedHat\RPMS (assuming your CD is D:) |
20:46.50 | marko85_uk | ill do that now |
20:47.34 | marko85_uk | i am in |
20:47.38 | marko85_uk | which file am i looking for |
20:47.43 | Leeds | look for files starting with kernel- |

20:48.47 | Leeds | hey dan |
20:48.48 | marko85_uk | is that the one? |
20:48.52 | Leeds | marko85_uk: sounds like it |
20:48.53 | marko85_uk | dankolb |
20:49.09 | marko85_uk | it is deffinitly the one u names |
20:49.11 | marko85_uk | named |
20:49.32 | marko85_uk | kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386 |
20:49.40 | Leeds | yup |
20:49.52 | marko85_uk | i need to install that file on my sistem |
20:50.14 | marko85_uk | system* |
20:50.17 | Leeds | yup |
20:50.39 | marko85_uk | and do i do cd /cdrom/redhat/rpms/kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386 |
20:50.52 | marko85_uk | which command do i need to type in order to extract it |

20:52.08 | dankolb | man rpm |

20:52.17 | marko85_uk | is it self explanatory i mean will i need to type in the directory |
20:52.24 | marko85_uk | man rpm what? |
20:52.36 | Leeds | do you not know about man? |
20:52.43 | marko85_uk | tell me the steps |
20:52.47 | marko85_uk | not really |
20:52.52 | dankolb | man rpm |
20:53.10 | marko85_uk | so i just type in command promt man rpm |
20:53.17 | Leeds | man is tha manual... type "man command" to see a reference manual for the command, so "man rpm" will tell you how to use RPM |
20:53.18 | marko85_uk | and everything should work after i do that? |
20:53.23 | Leeds | at some length... :-) |
20:54.39 | Leeds | there's probably a graphical tool to do it too... |

21:05.38 | marko85_uk | do i need to type in the ending of the file |
21:05.40 | marko85_uk | if i do is the ending |

21:06.16 | maxo | I prefer to remain anonymousish but I'll go as far as to say that I'm on Mandrake 9 trying to install kde 3.1 and having a nightmare doing so and therefore I stumbled into here |
21:06.33 | dankolb | Have a beer. Then you can drunkenly stumble into here |
21:06.34 | Leeds | marko85_uk: "rpm -ivh /cdrom/Redhat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm" |
21:07.06 | marko85_uk | ok ill let u know how i got on |
21:07.06 | Leeds | marko85_uk: the case of letters in the filename is important, and you (almost certainly) need both a - before the ivh and .rpm at the end |
21:07.43 | marko85_uk | so rpm a-ivh /cdrom/Redhat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm |
21:07.47 | dankolb | (even though I'm being ignored) |
21:08.06 | marko85_uk | is that what u mean leads? |
21:08.10 | marko85_uk | leeds* |
21:08.39 | Leeds | marko85_uk: not a-ivh, but apart from that, yes |
21:09.06 | marko85_uk | leeds u are really confusing me is the command i gave correct |
21:09.14 | marko85_uk | rpm -ivh /cdrom/Redhat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm |
21:09.20 | Leeds | marko85_uk: you wrote "rpm a-ivh /cdrom/Redhat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm" |
21:09.28 | Leeds | I wrote "rpm -ivh /cdrom/Redhat/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm" |
21:09.41 | marko85_uk | i wrote that after u told me this (almost certainly) need both a - before |
21:09.49 | maxo | has anyone here managed to get kde 3.1 working on mandrake 9.0? |
21:10.01 | marko85_uk | so i though i need letter a before the - |

22:11.56 | Leeds | eye69: if you're competing with 50 other people for a job, you need every chance you can get |
22:12.04 | eye69 | Leeds: Good point. |
22:12.05 | marko85 | i would like to thank everyone for helping me out |
22:12.10 | marko85 | even Jenson |
22:12.10 | marko85 | :) |
22:12.14 | Jenson | lol |
22:12.19 | marko85 | not that she helped me or anything |
22:12.22 | Leeds | the first thing they do is bin 30-40 of the CVs... |
22:12.43 | marko85 | ill e-mail people that helped me on gllug list |

22:12.56 | Leeds | marko85: congratulations :-) |
22:13.05 | new2unix_ | weldone. |
22:13.07 | new2unix_ | :) |
22:13.23 | marko85 | thanks leeds :) i seriously wouldnt have done it without you |
22:13.35 | Jenson | I now have Win98, Slack and Debian on here |
22:13.35 | eye69 | Updated... |
22:13.40 | marko85 | dankolb hehe me too but you have to undersand its nice to be on linux |
22:13.41 | Leeds | marko85: I know :-) |
22:13.47 | dankolb | Why have two Linux distros? |
22:13.51 | dankolb | marko85: Is it? |
22:13.53 | marko85 | hehe thanks again leeds |
22:14.25 | Leeds | eye69: try viewing it in a proportional font and see what your layour looks like |
22:15.38 | skugg | eye69, i know a guy that was set to sort cv's and applications by his boss. he said "but I have no qualification to do this!" but the boss said "Yes you do; bin all that spell our name or address incorrectly, everything with coffestains etc, or are more than 2 pages long. If there's more than 50 left after that: throw away half of them at random. those people have bad luck, and we can't afford hiring people with bad luck" |
22:15.52 | new2unix_ | i like the simplicity of the BSD's over Linux. |
22:16.03 | marko85 | dankolb its kind of cool |
22:16.09 | eye69 | skugg: Lol |
22:16.12 | dankolb | Bah. My CV is 4 pages, and I can't think much about shrinking it |
22:16.14 | marko85 | how do i edit the colours of x chat? |
22:16.42 | marko85 | its kind of white on black and i like it black on white background |
22:16.45 | maxo | mark085: settings? |
22:16.58 | dankolb | Black on white background? Ewww |
22:17.08 | skugg | dankolb, how about some of the education section? surely you don't need to list where you did your GCSEs? |
22:17.16 | dankolb | I guess I could summarise |
22:17.30 | Leeds | I use black-on-white for reading on my iPAQ... but white-on-black on PCs |
22:17.51 | Jenson | I use white-on-black on PC |
22:18.07 | dankolb | White text on black background is nice on the eyes |
22:18.22 | Jenson | Ah well, sleep time |
22:18.24 | maxo | I normally use ksirc but since my kde 3.1 is completely broken and giving me hell, I'm using xchat |
22:18.25 | Jenson | Night guys! |
22:18.34 | skugg | s,head,eyes, |
22:18.42 | new2unix_ | Jenson: Night |
22:18.48 | Jenson | night new2unix_ |
22:18.50 | Leeds | night Jenson |
22:18.54 | Jenson | night Leeds |
22:20.01 | eye69 | Ok, updated... |
22:20.26 | eye69 | Bar rewriting all the text, I don't think there's much to do about the language. |
22:21.41 | eye69 | Leeds: How can I view it in a proportional font? |
22:21.53 | Leeds | eye69: I'd list languages with personal info at the top as something like "Languages: Swedish (Mother tongue) and English" rather than lumping it in with the technical skills |
22:22.23 | eye69 | Yeah, I actually thought of that. |
22:22.44 | Leeds | eye69: hang on |
22:23.15 | eye69 | Updated |
22:23.47 | *** join/#gllug marko85_uk2 ([Fv60LlSN6@213.78.126.4) |
22:23.50 | eye69 | I'm using tabs, so the tables should be alright |
22:23.51 | marko85_uk2 | helpp :) |
22:24.00 | marko85_uk2 | how do i change the txt writing on this thing |
22:24.06 | marko85_uk2 | i manage to change the background |
22:24.22 | marko85_uk2 | done |
22:24.22 | marko85_uk2 | hehe |
22:25.08 | Leeds | eye69: see http://www.j-colo.net/~richardc/eye.jpg for a view of it in mozilla with proportional fonts |
22:25.43 | eye69 | Damn |
22:25.57 | Leeds | yeah :-( |
22:26.28 | Leeds | marko85_uk2: try changing the 'foreground' colour |
22:26.47 | eye69 | In a .doc that would be fixed though... |
22:27.25 | Leeds | eye69: if you e-mail that to someone, and they view it using a mailer with a proportional font (which is the wrong thing to do, but common), it would (maybe) look like that |
22:28.03 | *** join/#gllug highbury (~steve@sc-gw1.homechoice.co.uk) |
22:28.09 | Leeds | eye69: the other thing is that plain text should probably fit in 80 columns... |
22:28.11 | eye69 | I'm going to be sending a .doc to avoid stupid recruiters. |
22:28.14 | marko85_uk2 | Leeds you know the box i am writing in how do i change the color of the text that i am writing |
22:28.37 | eye69 | 80, or 72 for email (74?) |
22:28.55 | Leeds | marko85_uk2: I don't know what you mean |
22:28.56 | cupis | 72 |
22:30.03 | marko85_uk2 | at the moment i am writing something in the box and my writing is gray so in the box where i am writing this color of my writing is gray |
22:30.35 | eye69 | Leeds: Well, it can't really be considered my problem if I send them a .txt and they use a fucked up system |
22:30.50 | Leeds | eye69: it's *your* problem if it stops you getting the job! |
22:31.12 | eye69 | I'm only saying it's kind of extreme |
22:31.31 | eye69 | Then I might as well scrap .txt all together |
22:31.59 | Leeds | some people will require text, so they can file it easily... but they may still be using Outlook to read it |
22:32.19 | skugg | eye69, LaTeX converts easily to dvi/ps/pdf/html/txt... |
22:32.40 | eye69 | skugg: I'm not going to learn LaTeX |
22:33.03 | skugg | oh. okay. how about openoffice then? |
22:33.08 | eye69 | I've had a couple of recruiters tell me to resend the CV in .doc format, because they "can't open it" |

22:45.05 | eye69 | I've run it before. |

22:54.12 | skugg | Leeds, shhh! :P |
22:54.59 | skugg | <PROTECTED> |
22:55.56 | new2unix | my work collegues are impressed with Linux eversince i showed them Knoppix. :D |
22:56.33 | new2unix | For some odd reason they thought Linux was txt based (command line only) |
22:56.55 | skugg | new2unix, who are "they"? recruiters? |
22:57.41 | new2unix | "they" my work collegues. |
22:58.16 | new2unix | the guys who support our systems. |
22:58.20 | new2unix | we are 4 |
22:58.45 | new2unix | An IT manager and three others (including myself) |
22:59.09 | skugg | i see |
23:00.11 | new2unix | Its an Apple house and Windows too. So the IT manager feels there is no need to even have a look at any unix/linx alternatives. |
23:00.30 | new2unix | Well, thats fine by me. As long as i have a job, thats cool. :D |
23:01.20 | new2unix | DTP mainly |
23:01.22 | skugg | new2unix, seems a wise choice in these times... unfortunately |
23:01.31 | skugg | DTP? |
23:01.42 | new2unix | Desktop Publishing |
23:01.51 | skugg | can you please cut down on the TLAs? :) |
23:01.54 | new2unix | DTP on a very large scale |
23:04.06 | Leeds | DTP is a *very* old and common TLA |
23:04.16 | Leeds | new2unix: no MacOS X? |
23:04.59 | skugg | i'm not very TLA-savvy... |
23:05.14 | skugg | don't know what it comes from. maybe moving late into computing? |
23:05.35 | Leeds | could be... btu DTP isn't really a jargon term - it's pretty common outside technical stuff |
23:05.39 | skugg | or simply that Alzheimer kicks in early? |
23:07.28 | new2unix | yep. the G4's are dula boot machines but users arent aware yet. we get them to use MacOs9.22 till a time we are ready for the transtion. |
23:07.56 | new2unix | Not all applications have been tested under OS X |
23:09.04 | new2unix | I'm new to the world of Apple but i'm always keen to try out the "terminal" while my collegues prefer the eye candy of the drag and drop world :) |
23:09.39 | dankolb | The Terminal is quite useful |
23:10.28 | Leeds | not as useful as the Terminator |
23:10.50 | dankolb | Especially a Terminator on a BNC network |
23:11.26 | new2unix | hehe |
23:12.29 | skugg | dankolb, not without its twin! :P |
23:12.39 | dankolb | True :) |
23:14.30 | new2unix | By upgrading from 9.22 to OS X, we are going to dish out on a whole new set of licenses that require upgrading too cos they presently done work too well wth MacOS9.22 |
23:14.46 | new2unix | Where would i go about searching for a Linux alternative? |
23:14.58 | skugg | okay; this is the situation. I had gandi.net redirecting my email from my domain to stig@printf.net . now it seems printf.net have gone tits-up. I've rerouted mail to a different address, but that won't take effect until 22 hours or so. |
23:14.59 | dankolb | www.freebsd.org |
23:15.04 | dankolb | That's a good Linux alternative |
23:15.20 | new2unix | What do people in the Free/Open world use for DTP on a medium to large scale? |
23:15.23 | dankolb | skugg: Does printf.net have an MX backup? |
23:15.26 | skugg | will I lose mail in the meantime? or will it be re-delivered to my new address after it becomes live? |
23:15.28 | dankolb | new2unix: I think they don't |
23:15.32 | skugg | dankolb, i don't know |
23:15.39 | dankolb | Hm. Dunno, skugg |
23:16.15 | skugg | hope i'm not bouncing... |
23:16.37 | Leeds | you shouldn't lose mail as long as your address is dead for less than about 4 years |
23:16.40 | skugg | since it's a black hole atm it shouldn't, right? |
23:16.43 | Leeds | argh! 4 days! |
23:16.44 | skugg | <-- paranoid |
23:16.52 | Leeds | years? damn I'm tired... |
23:16.54 | skugg | Leeds, for what? |
23:17.10 | skugg | ah. :) |
23:17.16 | dankolb | skugg: You mail will be queued up on urchin.earth.li |
23:17.28 | skugg | dankolb, okay. |
23:17.28 | dankolb | And it'll be delivered to void when it comes back up |
23:17.37 | dankolb | (host -t mx printf.net) |
23:17.40 | skugg | okay, that's fine. |
23:17.55 | new2unix | dankolb: you said they dont. what do you mean? |
23:17.56 | skugg | thanks, i'll try to remember that (but probably won't) |
23:18.22 | dankolb | I don't think that people in the Free world use DTP |
23:18.26 | dankolb | (much) |
23:20.00 | new2unix | and the opensource world? |
23:20.14 | dankolb | Likewise |
23:20.30 | dankolb | Look at Scribus, but it won't do anything like what PageMaker can do |
23:21.03 | new2unix | what about Colin and John? i guess i should ask spud when next he's online to see what he uses on the Linux magazine they both work on. |
23:24.09 | Leeds | they use open/star office for at least some stuff |
23:31.52 | new2unix | do they have a Quark equivalent? |
