09:05.40eye69Hello zach
09:05.49zacharymorning eye69
09:06.01zacharywb Tarragon
09:08.01JDeye69: ewww
09:08.09JDso people are awake then
09:08.25eye69Woke up around 6'ish
09:08.38JDso where were you?
09:09.43zacharyeye69: How's the study on ipv6 going?
09:09.44eye69Not here, apparently
09:09.58eye69zachary: Well...it's workingh :)
09:10.36eye69zachary: Going to patch my machines with USAGI (patch for making Linux support more of the standard)
09:10.52JDeye69: are you using 2.5.x?
09:11.03eye69No, 2.4.20
09:11.13JDaiui it has most of the usagi stuff merged
09:11.20JDincluding the ipsec stuff :)
09:11.31eye69I didn't apply USAGI to begin with, since FreeS/WAN didn't work with it...skipping VPN for now anyway
09:11.43JDit is just a shame that I can't compile 2.5.x
09:12.12eye69JD: What client programs can I use for the ipsec stuff? The USAGI people seem to say that they don't have the progs yet.
09:12.21JDI just hope it is easy to get kame to work with frees/wan
09:12.45JDeye69: people have ported the BSD KAME stuff for the 2.5 userland tools
09:13.05eye69So using USAGI or 2.5 I could run their tools?
09:13.16JDaiui yeah
09:13.29eye69Nice
09:13.51eye69The problems I had with 2.5 were graphics related anyway
09:14.16JDI just couldn't get te bloody thing to compile
09:14.20eye69Not _really_ a problem on headless servers :)
09:14.41eye69Use USAGI snapshots on 2.4?
09:14.42JDand now I have the more pressing problem of getting my modem to work on my laptop
09:14.45zacharyAre there any proposed timelines for the transition to ipv6?
09:14.55JDeye69: 2.5.x
09:15.01JDzachary: nope
09:15.16eye69JD: Well, try USAGI snapshots on 2.4.x instead of running 2.5?
09:15.29eye69zachary: The 6bone 3ffe::/8 will be taken down in june 2006
09:15.36JDeye69: I want 2.5 :(
09:16.19eye69zachary: So something must happen before that, I guess.
09:16.41JDyeah cos otherwise ow will people use it
09:17.10JDsomeone here was saying that their upstream had got an ipv6 allocation form ripe
09:17.13eye69I mean, they should be able to start switching routers over to IPv6/IPv4 ones, when they're widely available...
09:17.20JDor was it #debian-uk
09:17.34JDthey should be available now
09:17.46JDipv6 has been a standard for a good while
09:18.17eye69JD: I'm thinking of setting up a small BGP4 testing network at home
09:18.37eye69Interested in learning the more advanced routing stuff
09:18.56eye69Shouldn't need more than two machines with double NIC's for a start.
09:19.17Clyphoxhow does it work?
09:20.12eye69http://www.bgpbook.com/
09:20.25JDeye69: you really need an ASN number
09:20.30Clyphoxomw
09:20.32JDand they are not really cheap
09:20.56eye69JD: Not if I just want off-line testing between machines at home
09:21.22JDcan you get a private ASN number? like private IP range?
09:21.47eye69Yeah, I think they're something like between 64500-65500
09:22.06eye69I saw it somewhere
09:23.02eye69He says the feckin URL like 57 times during the advert anyway, so it doesn't really matter
09:23.06eye69Annoying ad
09:23.22JDbad advert karma ?
09:23.39JDisn't one of the rules of advertsing
09:23.50JDdon't stand in front of the logo/name/url
09:25.06JDgrrr nothing decent on CNX
09:25.49JDquantum leap :)
09:26.31JDvietnam episode
09:28.50JDnot so easy over high latency link :)
09:31.11ClyphoxHave any of you guys that e-donkey thing?
09:31.29JDI know someone that did
09:31.38ClyphoxI managed to get it going once..
09:31.52ClyphoxNot sure if I should try mldonkey or edonkey2k
09:33.44ClyphoxThe only shit CD's in my collection are there because I didn't :-)
09:40.27eye69Clyphox: I used eDonkey
09:40.55eye69Clyphox: I don't use it anymore though...only use Soulseek
09:41.23Clyphoxeye69: yeah.. I still gotta compile python.. doing it now
09:41.28JDXP is telling me to chnage battery :)
09:41.38JDthat'll be fun
09:41.47eye69Clyphox: pysoulseek is really nice :)
09:42.00eye69Clyphox: Make sure you apply hyriand's patch though

14:42.25murbLeeds: yes, so i can download photos etc / usb
14:42.40murbgphoto2 identifies my camera as somthing generic and then crashes
14:43.38Leedswhat make is it?
14:43.59murbit is a canon ixus 400
14:44.10LeedsI've got an ixus 330...
14:44.18murb(yes i did check before i bought it and the consensus was it should just work(tm))
14:44.32Leedsnever tried to connect it to my Linux box - just put the CF in my iPAQ or my USB CF reader...
14:44.42Leedsare you sure it doesn't appear as a USB storage device?
14:44.46murboh, i've not bought such toys yet.
14:44.51murbno the canon cameras don't...
14:45.06murboh and can yuo get firmware updates for cameras/
14:45.11Freedevilwhat module you using murb
14:45.13Freedeviluhci?
14:45.15Freedevilor ohci?
14:45.22LeedsI partly picked the Ixus because it was CF... and I already had a bunch of CF hardware and cards...
14:45.33Freedevilyou need to mount ur usbdevice
14:45.39murbI like the idea of CF in that it isn't evil and proiety etc
14:45.57Leedsplus it's pretty cheap
14:46.13murbFreedevil: I already have several usb devices that work here including a cdrw and a scanner, so i don't think my usb support is borken
14:46.15Freedevilgphoto2 is betta for cams
14:46.24Freedevilgphoto2 --list-cameras
14:46.32murbgphoto2 -P crashes out
14:46.45Freedevilgphoto2 --auto-detect
14:46.59Leedsmurb: can you at least see it on the USB bus if you plug it in?
14:47.01Freedevilthink you need gtkam
14:47.08Freedeviltoo
14:47.15murbFreedevil: same problem as with gphoto2
14:47.20murbLeeds: yeah
14:47.28murbi can see it, it even talks to the camera and then dies
14:47.49murbas in shes out
14:47.52Freedevilcuz its not supported
14:47.56Freedevilbut you can still amke it work
14:47.59murburgle
14:48.12Freedevilmurb: -P wont work
14:48.24Freedevil--list-ports
14:49.02Freedevilmount the device usbdevice it should work
14:49.16Freedevilk that was a repeat hehe
14:49.41murbI can't mount it because it isn't claimed by anything
14:49.52Freedevilyeah you can
14:50.00Freedevil<PROTECTED>
14:50.04murbi have the usbdev stuff loaded.
14:50.08Freedeviladd that to fstab
14:50.19Freedevilmount -t usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb
14:50.20Leedsfor what it's worth, the 330 is specified in the gphoto2 source but the 400 isn't
14:50.37murbI already have that, as i mentioned ealier when i said that i already have several other devices that just work on that bus.
14:50.53Freedevila filename 001 will apapear in the /proc/bus/usb
14:50.59murbwhich means i've got the kernel autoload weird shit thing loaded which requires that devfs thing so it can find it.
14:51.06Freedevilor 002
14:51.12Freedeviletc depending on cam mode
14:51.24murbFreedevil: sorry about the tone i'm about to use, you're trying to be helpful etc, but i know about the usbdevfs thing and have looked in the files there.
14:52.14Freedevilk my bad didnt know you tried that
14:53.00Freedevildid you change the permissions? though
14:53.19murbFreedevil: already got that stuff sorted so normal users can scan stuff.
14:53.42Freedevilchmod a+x /proc/bus/usc/00* i think you gotta do everytime you connect it
14:53.48Freedevilwasnt talking about that :)
14:53.56murbusc?
14:54.04JensonSetting up USB is evil, I never did work out how to setup my usb scanner
14:54.34murbJenson: i bought an unsuported usb scanner and had it working no probs with the beta driver that isn't included with sane
14:55.03murbit was also from the computerfair, dirt cheap, and i can't tell the difference from the expensive Epson scanner they bought at work.
14:55.24Jensonmurb: I got stuck at the how to load sane part lol
14:55.29murbfunny how a 30quid device gives as good output as a 150 quid device.
14:56.10Jensoneventually i'll read a howto on it, but on the odd occasions i want the scanner i can just use it in win
14:56.37murbJenson: i found the windows software to be totally crap compared to the xsane gimp plugin
14:56.38JensonWhat I'm annoyed about is that my kernel doesnt seem to include 2 of the scsi modules i need to be able to use the cdburner
14:57.06murbJenson: build a new kernel/more modules from save source as your orignal kernel and get them working.
14:57.24Jensonaccording to lsmod the usbcore is used by scanner hid, thats sounds like a good start
14:57.49murbwhat happens when you run the xscanner detect thing?
14:57.54murb(as root)
14:58.18Jensondont think i have, as i said, i need to read a howto anhd figure out how to install a scanner

15:38.24LeedsJenson: I have no idea

15:40.29JensonLeeds: yeh true
15:40.52resuDaedhttp://resudaed.com/config.log
15:42.39JensonEvidently the driver for my scanner is a beta driver, probably the one i tried to install the other day and fucked up
15:43.31Leeds"ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]" is a very very very bad thing
15:44.04resuDaedthat could be caused by?

15:46.30resuDaeddenivri : but what is the most likley cause?
15:46.50JensonWell the driver i was trying to install the other day isnt for my scanner, so i best look for the one that is, that might help
15:47.09skuggresuDaed, do you have bin86 and binutils installed? that would cause your problem...
15:47.21skugg(
15:47.27skugg(_not_ having them I mean)
15:48.14skuggi bet a missing bin86 is your culprit
15:48.41resuDaedskugg : binutils is installed, just checking bi86
15:48.57resuDaedexcept I am doing an apt-get update atm
15:49.12resuDaedall I am trying to do is buld the winex from cvs

15:50.03skuggresuDaed, i'm 99% sure I'm right, unless you've been building stuff from source successfully before.
15:50.20resuDaedno, bin86 is also installed
15:50.24skuggdamn.
15:50.35resuDaedI often build from sourcew
15:50.45LeedsresuDaed: so what have you changed to break it?
15:50.45skuggokay.
15:51.05resuDaedLeeds : nothing, except possibly an update on the version of gcc etc
15:51.30resuDaedI am pretty sure I have done an 'upgrade' since I last compiled
15:51.36Jensongrrr I hate Linux, everytime I try to install something I gte a list of failed dependencies, I want Debian
15:51.50Leedsnothing except an update on gcc?  oh, so nothing important then! :-)
15:51.50resuDaedJenson : stick to stable if you do :-)
15:52.29resuDaedskugg : I think this may have happened before, and the cure was soething to do with exporting something to do with gcc version or something
15:52.51JensonIt wants GLIBC 3.2 evidntly....where am I gonna find that?
15:53.11skuggresuDaed, it's not because winex is updated to the new threading model though?
15:53.29resuDaedJenson : gnu.org
15:53.35LeedsJenson: it really doesn't want GLIBC 3.2

15:54.28Jensonsays 2
15:54.29Jensonlol
15:54.34Jensoncan read it now
15:54.38Jensonthink i better change my fonts
15:54.44Leedsso where does it say 3.3 or 3.2 there?
15:54.55Jensonexaclty
15:54.58LeedsI suggest grabbing the Bitstream Vera fonts
15:55.18JensonI had good fonts, it just is tiny in KPackage lol
15:55.32resuDaedJenson : stop using kpackage
15:55.35resuDaedit is evil
15:55.44resuDaed(IMHO)
15:56.04JensonresuDaed: I forget how to install packages using console though
15:59.06Jensonyay actually found what i want :)
16:02.38resuDaedJenson tar zxvf (file).tar.gz
16:02.44resuDaedconfigure, make, make install
16:02.55resuDaed+ that way you get far less dependancy problems
16:04.16resuDaedLeeds : I have no idea why, but it works now  :-S
16:04.17JensonresuDaed: yeh i can do that, its rpm thats a pain
16:04.56resuDaedJenson : if you can, do it
16:05.26Jensonyay nearly downloaded
16:05.32Jensonbet i wont be able to compile it lol
16:07.26Jensongrrr, need to upgrade something else to install it ffs
16:09.51Jensonwhat the hell is pkg-config and how the hell do i upgrade that?
16:11.21resuDaedJenson : what distro?
16:11.44JensonSlack
16:15.36resuDaedjust wondered
16:15.54resuDaedso why are you bothering with rpms?
16:16.09JensonCoz that was what was on the page
16:16.16JensonI dunno why I'm bothereing at all
16:16.23JensonDont use the scanner anyway
16:16.36resuDaedput the cd in, and install all development packages ... and you should be able to compile pretty much anything from source
16:16.40resuDaed(within reason)
16:16.54JensonI think I've installed everything anyway
16:18.44resuDaedI am currently compiling winex (hopefully it will finish ok) ... I shall then have Quake 3, Unreal Tournament and Half-Life (& OppForce, CS and BlueShift) running under linux
16:19.19JensonI tried to install the Doom and Wolf3d for Linux, but it didnt work
16:19.45resuDaedhaving just said that, the compile just died
16:19.45JensonI have no clue whet I'm doing, everything that works on here (except irssi) works because someone told me how to do it
16:19.57Jensondamn compiling
16:20.10resuDaedis a huge compile though
16:24.13Leedswine(x) has always been a big compile... it's a pretty heavy layer
16:25.10resuDaedLeeds : and now thats failing
16:25.38resuDaedI was just looking (OOI) at the cost of subscription, they want $5/month for a minumum of 3 months
16:27.11resuDaedso much for the open source community

16:28.07Jensonlol
16:28.26murbJenson: install libtool
16:28.52murbJenson: and read the building dependancies before you start...
16:29.39Jensonmurb: I'm fed up being asked to install something else everytime I try to install anywathing.
16:29.53JensonThe only thing I have ever succesddfully installed iin linux is irssi
16:31.09murbJenson: are you using slackware still?
16:31.21murb(and yes it is supposed to be hardwork)
16:31.48Jensonyeh Slack, might change to Debian though
16:32.21resuDaedlol, I fix one compile error, and out comes another
16:32.40JensonresuDaed: yeh, sounds similar to me
16:34.23resuDaedmurb : can you have a look @ http://resudaed.com/winex (stderr of make)
16:34.30resuDaedtell me what you think it might be this time
16:34.33JensonIf Windows didnt piss me off so much, I might have gone back to it by now, but at least Linux does things properly, unlike Win yesterday which ran out of memory trying to play MP3s and format a disk
16:34.50JensonresuDaed: What are you doing all this for, more gaming?
16:35.06resuDaedJenson : aye ... am bored of UnrealY/Quake3
16:35.47JensonHopefully I'll manage to get DooM running, I've given up on my scanner, gone back to trying to get DooM to run
16:39.47Jensonor maybe not
16:40.56JensonWell seenas I have no idea why it isnt finding the directory its looking for, I think I'll try and find something else to install
16:41.22resuDaedah, my problem isn't my fault, flex is broken in 'sid'
16:41.58Jensondoesnt really make you feel any better though does it
16:42.00LeedsDebian broken?  surely not! :-P
16:42.07Jensonheh Leeds
16:44.10resuDaedLeeds : apparantly its a coding issue in flex, 'sid' running the latest versions of everything picked it up
16:44.43resuDaedhttp://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=720983&group_id=72099&atid=533377
16:45.36JensonThis computer is giving me a headache
16:46.14murbturn it off then.
16:47.02JensonI might give up in a minute, I feel inclined to format linux off and install FreeBSD, but as I dont know how to format a HDD in linux that isnt gonna heppen, and I CBA anyway
16:47.29murbJenson: why do you think freebsd will be easier?
16:47.36murbs/easier/any easier/
16:47.40JensonI dont
16:48.03murbYou'll probably end up with a computer with less stuff working.
16:48.10murbdo you dual boot this machine?
16:48.15murbwhy not install freebsd as well.
16:48.20JensonI'm just convinced that computers arent meant to make you wanna cry
16:48.24JensonI dont have any free space
16:48.41JensonI did have Win98se/Slack/minimal Debian at one point
16:49.14murbJenson: rubbish.
16:49.20murbeverything is to make you cry
16:49.26Jensontrue lol
16:56.03resuDaedhas anyone got debian woody installed?
16:56.28resuDaedI need a sources.list from a stable install
16:56.49Jensongrrrrr, i just pissed zimm of coz I CBA to try and sort my bastard computer out
16:59.21dankolbstartx -- :1
17:01.22Jensonor maybe my computer is a bitch
17:02.17dankolbGet a Mac
17:02.17Leedswell, there's at least one bitch in the room...
17:02.22Jensonlol
17:02.43JensonI might get Debian, at least I might not have so much shit installing programs then
17:03.49dankolbUrgh.
17:04.19Leedshah
17:04.31dankolbDebian is evil
17:04.57dankolb(says he, who actually considers using the Debian GNU/Hurd, because it's the only Hurd distro)
17:05.05Jensonlol
17:05.23JensonFrom what I've seen demonstrated of Debian, it makes more sense than Slack
17:05.41dankolbMaybe you should see Slack demonstrated then
17:05.48Leedsslack assumes you have a brain... maybe it's wrong :-)
17:05.56Jensonlol Leeds most likely
17:06.06Jensondankolb: Come down here and demonstrater then
17:06.09dankolbLeeds: Yeah. Debian users don't need a brain. Or don't use it.
17:06.14Leedsyeah
17:06.22Leedsapt-get drool
17:06.57dankolbYes. And apt-get will definitely rid the world of all evil, poverty and hunger
17:07.03dankolbOr so the Debianites would tell you
17:07.10Jensondankolb: thats called being a wanker though
17:07.25dankolbYUes. You already said Debian user.
17:07.38LeedsJenson: that's the natural state of debian users
17:07.54JensonLeeds: bah, I've never seen a Debian user wanking
17:09.06Jensonheh and that shut ya up :P
17:10.15Leedsnot discussing stuff like that...
17:10.46Jensonits alright, i dont wanna know
17:13.15resuDaedgrrr, could be weeks before winex is fixed
17:13.40Leedsfood time...

17:35.01denivrior at least positive potential.
17:35.03denivrior scones :)

17:37.34dankolbI'll research it just for you
17:37.35dankolb:-P
17:38.00denivriit would be so nice just to be able to utter "indian cookery courses, useful, warwickshire" and get a list of good indian cookery courses in the area, nicely formatted to show price, time, availability, duration etc
17:38.26dankolbRather than phoning up Yellow Pages and saying the same thing?
17:38.41denivrior "holidays, suitable for IT consultant, USA, outdoor, adventure, 6 weeks" and get a list and descriptions
17:38.44denivridankolb: i said useful results
17:38.49denivriwell implied.
17:38.54dankolb:)
17:39.01dankolbWeb is often non-useful
17:39.05dankolbibot google for useful results
17:39.39denivriyes thats the trouble. google is good at returning information, but it still means i need to pick through the results and determine from them the information i actually want.

17:44.42denivridankolb: because brain power is a finite resource
17:45.04dankolbYou want to harness stupidity, in that case
17:45.10denivridankolb: yes
17:45.39denivrii could probably do it with a large but finite number of monkeys
17:45.49denivrior an ntl call center

17:46.02dankolbMonkeys would probably work better
17:46.09DarkTranceru can do anything with ntl? lol
17:46.12denivriyes, they certainly make more sense.
17:46.35dankolb:)
17:46.38denivriMonkeys are probably more likely to tellt he truth
17:46.44dankolbThey're also cuter
17:46.48denivriyes much cuter.
17:46.55DarkTrancerand actually fix things,even if it means with a hammer
17:46.56denivriSpeaking of whcih, i need to learn Spanish, and FAST!
17:47.23denivriyes, although fixing is beyond the scope of this, we simply need to retrieve information
17:47.32dankolbSPEAK SPANISH FAST!
17:47.34dankolbGUARANTEED!
17:47.57dankolbWell, couldn't most NTL call staff be fixed with a hammer?
17:48.16denivrii wish i could just download vast quantities of information into my brain without having to think about it
17:48.31denivridankolb: well you could argue you could solve the problem of useless customer inservice staff with a hammer
17:48.39denivriwell no not solve, but you could at least make it go away
17:48.44dankolb:)
17:48.47dankolbSame difference
17:48.54dankolbSolution is 90% cure

20:07.52Jensoncool, you using it for IRC or IM or what?
20:08.00highburyall I need is internet access from my B&B in Bristol now
20:08.47highburyjust for IM, I find if I run xchat and gaim by themselves, rather than do everything though gaim, I get better stability
20:10.09Jensonyeh i use xchat ain gaim
20:10.19Jensons/ain/and
20:10.29JensonWhich IM protocols you on then?
20:11.53highburyjust msn and icq
20:12.12Jensoncool
20:12.31Jensonive been through them all in the last few years (on win i mean) settled with just msn now
20:15.03highburyI mostly use msn too, but I just have a few hangouts on icq. I guess I should try this jabber thing though one day
20:15.44Jensoni used to use icq, but the one mate i really had on there uses msn too

20:43.06JensonYesterday I got bored, and when I versioned like half the channel the client of choice seemed to be irssi
20:43.28highburyhmmm. why would writing shell scripts, with non hardcoded commands, e.g. ls and cat rather than /bin/ls and /bin/cat; be unsafe so long as I have a good search path set?
20:44.03highburyI'm trying to write some portable scripts, and it makes it a "right pain"
20:45.12Leedshighbury: if you explicitly set the PATH, it shouldn't be hugely bad... but if it could be run in a situation where . is in the PATH, for example, it's bad
