17:23.19formithe first times i logged in top would only show the procs being run by that user
17:23.44forminot the whole lot
17:24.14LeedsI don't know... but I suspect, and I think I remember hearing somewhere - and it would make sense here - that mandrake may limit proc access as non-root
17:24.24formii suppose that is a "security" extra
17:24.30Leedsyes, I think so
17:28.24Leedsof course it breaks whatever limited standard /proc has...
17:28.49formiwhat i don't get is it was running

17:30.50Leedsbefore what?
17:30.56LeedsI asked you three times what you changed

20:13.05irvinedyeah, linux has memory limits, on ia32 the kernel can address 16gb of ram, but your applications are generally limited to 2gb + some cache and library stuff

20:13.55Leedsit's not memory - it's filesize
20:13.58irvinedleeds is it just a file size limit? You can upgrade your libc to get round that fairly easily.
20:14.12Leedsokay

20:58.55new2unixJenson: i think sniffing glue is still regarded as a misdemenor(sp?)
20:59.53Jensonheh, it was Alex's he was using it to glue his trainers, then i put it in my bag and it somehow got on my phone aerial
21:01.00Leedsnew2unix: it's also a bloody stupid thing to do
21:01.02new2unixglue his trainers? dont they have cobblers down his way?
21:01.40new2unixLeeds: indeed.

21:03.35Leedshow's things in Benelux?
21:03.41armijnLeeds: will get PDA soon, Dell Axim with wireless CF
21:03.48armijnwell, finally going to get some rain
21:03.49Leedscool
21:04.07Leedsthere's not been any significant rain here yet, AFAIK
21:04.09armijndunno much about "be" and "lux", I stay north of the dutch-french language border...
21:04.29Leedsibot axim
21:04.34rumour has it, axim is http://handhelds.org/projects/axim
21:04.49armijnleeds: that website has not been updated for a while :)
21:05.04Leedstrue :-(
21:05.15armijnleeds: and the wireless thing is a new model (well, not really, just a bundle of the "top-range" Axim with a CF card)
21:05.22LeedsI saw that
21:05.22Jensonback
21:05.43LeedsIIRC, it was a decent, but not outstanding, price for a wifi CF
21:06.10armijnletting off some steam, been digging into some stuff all day...if Red Hat would have just documented it, it would have been fixed in a few hours...
21:06.18Leedshmm...
21:06.37armijnhow to customize a Red Hat install, generating new images, etc.
21:06.44Leedsah, tha
21:06.44armijnit's not straightforward without documentation
21:06.45Leedst
21:06.49Leedskickstart?
21:06.58armijnyeah, for kickstart eventually
21:07.07armijnI got it figured out now...
21:07.33armijnregenerating hdlist, making new comps.xml, running a few other tools, etc. etc.
21:08.08armijnfunny, with those tools you can do with Red Hat what other distros try with building frm source (like ROCK and Gentoo), to build customized distros
21:08.25Leedsright
21:09.08armijnit's amusing...I spent ages on ROCK until about a year ago...ignored my work (even though I got the first UltraSparc port working correctly)
21:10.42Leedsit's a slightly different way of looking at the world
21:11.02armijnI'm used to that...
21:11.35armijnhmm, tomorrow I'll go to my first hardcore hiphop concert...wearing a black metal shirt...
21:11.42armijnthat should be fun...
21:12.02armijnleeds: I still got a bunch of pictures from Edinburgh which feature you...
21:12.07Leedsoops
21:12.20armijnleeds: want them (not right now, but eventually)?
21:12.24Leedssure :-)
21:12.27armijnokie.
21:13.14armijnran into samba team member in the train...still was a bit jetlagged from CIFS conference...and still no samba 3.0 :(
21:14.11Leedswell, that seems to work
21:16.54armijnhmm, probably stuck to CE for a little while then with the Axim...
21:17.29LeedsI think you can boot Linux okay from wince... just not 'naturally'
21:18.02new2unixyears to come, how would you say you spent the summer of 2003?
21:18.28new2unixLeeds? armijn?
21:18.37armijnnew2unix: sweating
21:18.49new2unixarmijn: hah
21:18.53Leedsditto
21:19.04armijnleeds: hmmyeah, but...then from linux probably SD slot won't work...and wireless thing is CF...
21:19.18armijnnew2unix: why?
21:19.29Leedsworking... went to Newcastle, Edinburgh and Bournemouth, as well as Spain
21:19.45new2unixdunno. just asking. perhaps i'm bored.
21:19.56armijnheh :)
21:20.32armijnI was preparing talk, ate loads and loads of plums, went swimming, Edinburgh, then more work...
21:20.52armijnwork has the tendency to pile up...
21:21.11new2unixarmijn: during the summer of 2003, you ate plums? haha, now thats funny.
21:21.34armijnnew2unix: we've got a plum tree in our garden, and we had at least 30 kilos...
21:21.36new2unixdo plums have a cooling effect on you?
21:22.05armijnnew2unix: I took at least one kilo per day with me to my lab...just to get rid of the plums...
21:22.08armijnyeah, plums rock
21:23.06new2unixarmijn: What part of London are you based? Dont think ive ever seen a plum tree before. But then i prolly wouldnt know one if i saw one.
21:23.25armijnnew2unix: I'm not in London :)
21:23.52new2unixarmijn: your missing out. London is the place to be. Ask Leeds.
21:24.13armijnnew2unix: but then I wouldn't have a plum tree...
21:24.15Leedsnah, Leeds isn't a bad place to be either
21:24.28Leedsibot armijn
21:24.28Leeds: I wish you would RTFM.

21:25.54armijnbut then again, I've only seen both from the touristy side...
21:26.04Leedshmmm...
21:26.24Leedsnow I need to work out what to do with a 4.2Gb DVD image
21:26.37armijnleeds: burn it?
21:26.47Leedsright
21:26.49new2unixLeeds: burn it to disk?
21:26.57Leedsexcept that might require having a DVD burner
21:27.01Leedsmaybe
21:27.11Jensoncnvertn it to VCD somehow
21:27.12armijnleeds: use split to make CD sized chunks ;)
21:27.20Jensons/convert
21:27.27highburydivx it!
21:27.59Leedsno no on
21:28.03new2unixftp it to Jenson and shell convert it to VCD for you
21:28.19LeedsI want to split it into tracks... and have the tracks available, without any recoding...
21:28.29Leedsnew2unix: right... 4.2Gb of ftp up?
21:28.38highburywhat's it a recording of?
21:28.53LeedsFinding Nemo :-)
21:29.04armijnmight have my first game console soon!
21:29.07JensonI've seen that
21:29.09Jensonages ago
21:29.53new2unixi havent seen it and i have a DVD burner, well a couple actually but they are at work. :(
21:30.13LeedsJenson: really?
21:30.19Jensonnew2unix: i can get it on VCD
21:30.27JensonLeeds: yeh
21:30.33Jensonat least a month ago
21:30.34Leedsbah VCD...
21:30.40Leedsthis is a complete DVD image :-)
21:30.49armijnjenson == 'leet w4r3z dud3zz

21:31.09new2unixVCD sounds like a veneral disease.
21:31.24Jensonarmijn: lol
21:31.27Jensonits not mine
21:31.45Jensoni just happen to be abnle to bribe free copies from the person who pays for it lol
21:31.49armijnjenson: of course not! isn't that what the whole warez thing is about??
21:31.57armijnthat it's not yours?
21:32.04Jensonarmijn: well yeah
21:32.07new2unixarmijn: hah
21:32.07armijnand steal it from the large media corporations?
21:32.15Jensoni have Matrix Reloaded, thats all I actually have
21:32.22LeedsI'll probably see it at the cinema as well...
21:33.13Jensoni saw reloaded at the cinema
21:33.25Jensonand i'll probably buy it eventually
21:33.58new2unixi heard its out on Imax.
21:35.42armijnLeeds: ehm, you probably also have some pictures of me from Edinburgh...
21:35.51Leedsyeah, probably
21:36.01armijnLeeds: we could swap :)
21:36.43Leedsfor some reason, lots of people I don't know are sending me movies and thank-you notes and stuff...
21:38.11new2unixQuestion time:
21:38.46new2unixThis one is ON-topic :)
21:39.06armijnRTFM!
21:39.16new2unixUsers are advised not to open files across the network but to copy them over to their home dir, work on it and drop it back. Some dont listen. How would i be able to tell if a file is been opened/accessed locally?
21:40.03new2unixi'm looking at lsof but does anyone awake know of any other solutions?
21:40.37armijnhmm, no...lsof was what I was thinking about...
21:40.39Jensonsleep time
21:40.40Jensonseeya
21:41.03armijnnew2unix: via SMB? or NFS?
21:41.09murbleanyone going to brussels tomororw?
21:41.14new2unixneither.
21:41.25new2unixmacOSX
21:41.35new2unixappletalk i guess
21:41.49armijnnew2unix: OS X can do SMB and NFS as well, so...
21:42.07armijnnew2unix: maybe the logs of the appletalk thing might be helpful
21:42.14armijnmurble: nope
21:42.32new2unixYeah but as mac clients will be access the mac server its only natural to keep it simple, no?
21:43.20new2unixand some of the mac clients are OS8 and 9 and a few X's.
21:43.27armijnnew2unix: ehm yeah, keeping it simple is a good idea...
21:46.19new2unixjust been going through lsof's man page. I'll draft upa quick shell script and run it on the server. moving over to *BSD was the best thing apple's done in a long time, second to its near perfect designer body/hardware.
21:46.54Leedsoh
21:46.59Leedsan apple fanboy
21:47.03armijnnew2unix: but lsof generates lots and lots of output...
21:47.37new2unixyeah. but REG is for regular files only so greping for that should cut the output in half.
21:48.22new2unixhi dankolb
