08:58.36Leedsargh, bloody IE!
08:58.53mozratIreland?
08:59.42Leedsinternet fucking explorer
09:00.49LeedsI'm trying to do something which should be really easy, in HTML/CSS... got a table cell, want to draw two images and some text - one image on each side, centered vertically, and the text in the middle, centered both vertically and horizontally
09:01.43Leedsgot it working reasonably well in firefox, but it looks like utter crap in IE - and I'm following the standards
09:02.14mozratthat could be where you are going wrong
09:02.28mozratare you following the standards or the standards according to IE?
09:02.53Leedsthe standards.  the documentation.
09:16.18Leedshttp://pastebin.bafserv.com/2187 - should work, doesn't
09:37.30LeedsIE is just broken software
09:52.13LeedsIE didn't seem to like that I was defining the width of the table cell by a width= attribute, while setting the size and position of the things inside it by css properties

19:46.12AngelChild'ello :-)
19:52.37z00daxI hate writing agenda's for meetings
19:53.10z00daxif i ever need to - it usualy goes like this "1. talk about stuff.  2. see you there."
19:55.04boudiccasz00dax; hiyas :) do you use tripwire?
19:55.22z00daxboudiccas, i used to - now SELinux does all i need
19:56.14boudiccascan you remember the syntax please to update the thingie after you've done a check and you know what all the changes are?
19:56.29cozmoz365hello z00dax, boudiccas
19:56.41boudiccascozmoz365; hiyas :)
19:56.48z00daxfirstly, check if prelinking is turned off
19:56.57boudiccasum, how?
19:57.30boudiccassorry, i've progressed from being a noobie to being a neophyte :)
19:58.16z00daxboudiccas, with tripwire most doc's talk about running /etc/tripwire/twinstall.sh
19:58.17z00daxbut
19:58.30z00daxyou prolly want : /usr/sbin/tripwire-setup-keyfiles
19:59.04boudiccasz00dax; yes, except there is no twinstall. but i did run tripwire-setup-keyfiles as root
19:59.34z00daxyup, thats what I meant - there is no twinstall.sh - its now tripwire-setup-keyfiles
19:59.47z00daxw.r.t prelinking : /etc/sysconfig/prelink
20:00.15boudiccasi've run the intital check to build the databse, and i then ran a test check to see what it output and where, but now i want to update the database
20:00.37z00daxah, humm..
20:00.51boudiccasand that command is the one that i can't work out
20:00.54z00daxare you using the pkg from centos.karan.org ?
20:01.48boudiccasz00dax; just checked, and yes
20:05.01z00daxboudiccas, just a tripwire -u
20:05.06z00daxthat should do what you need.
20:05.12boudiccaszoo; k, ty
20:05.27z00dax'man tripwire' has the details
20:05.48z00daxsome of the things are done via twadmin, but most regular ops seem to be tripwire itself
20:09.07boudiccasz00dax; hm ........ ./tripwire -m u --update
20:09.07boudiccas### Error: File could not be opened.
20:09.07boudiccas### Filename: /var/lib/tripwire/report/gads.hill-20051208-200829.twr
20:09.43boudiccasi keep getting that sort of report, and its so frustrating
20:10.15z00daxdo you need to run this as root?
20:10.28boudiccasam doing so
20:10.58boudiccasprior to this i'm ... su - ... and then ... cd/usr/sbin/
20:37.18z00daxboudiccas, perhaps you need to pass in a report filename -> with a -r <report> ?
20:37.50boudiccasz00dax; i think that i might have sorted it, still waiting for it to complete atm
20:38.14z00daxok, I've run it a few times here - changed a few things and passed in a report name - it seems to be doing its thing fine
20:39.19boudiccasi ... tripwire --update -r /var/lib/tripwire/report/gads.hill-20051208-202100.twr ... and it seems to be working
20:40.16boudiccassays its doing an ;integrity check report'
20:41.36z00daxboudiccas, right - thats what I meant about passing in a reponame

23:02.12ErwinHmm. What's the difference between the Opterons and Athlons 64s?
23:02.31wethrinThe price
23:03.15ErwinThe Athlon 64s also seem to come in dual-core variants
23:03.34wethrinyes
23:04.10ErwinSo, do they run both 64-bit code exactly using the same ABI?
23:04.40wethrinI think so. I don't bother with PeeCee technology :)
23:11.32z00daxErwin, major differences in internal architecture as well
23:12.41ErwinWell, the questoin is mostly, can I settle for some Athlon 64 system to test out 64-bit software and be sure that this will work OK on our real Opteron systems
23:13.23z00daxErwin, yes
23:14.09z00daxare you using 32bit userspace or 64bit ?
23:14.52z00daxerr. what i meant is that are you _also_ using some 32bit userspace ? or are you 64bit clean
23:16.04Erwinz00dax: We don't really require 64-bit addressing but I presume using the 64-bit mode will give a general speedup due to more registers
23:16.21ErwinI have some closed-source stuff but that seems to have an x86-64 version available too
23:17.28z00daxright - reason I asked - if you are 64bit clean - you are going to be ok on AMD64/ Opteron/ EM64T
23:17.45z00daxin some cases when you have requirements on dual userspace 32 and 64 - EM64T gets.. umm.. funky
23:18.33z00dax( i guess that does not count in your case, since you mentioned AMD  only )
23:18.50ErwinWell. I have a fuzzy idea that Opteron is going to be faster for us. But right now we're on a pretty old Xeon 3.06 GHz
23:19.08z00daxWhat sort of an opteron do you have in mind ?
23:20.56ErwinEither a dual 252 or 254 system or a dual-dual-core system. Our app doesn't really scale to multiple CPUs well, so I'm not sure it's worth having 4 slower CPUs on dual-cores vs 2 faster on single-core -- and I was told by our ISP guy that the dual-cores are slot compatible with the single-cores, so you can upgrade if you want
23:21.32ErwinThe biggest problem for our setup is probably disk speed, the RAID-5 system we have is slow, so we want to go to some RAID 10 (or was it 01? the safe variant anyway) system, on as fast disks as possible.. and one that we actually *own* rather than lease.
23:22.18z00daxI might have a 252 with me over the weekend - gota script that does a sorta benchmark for you ? I can run it and give you some numbers
23:22.49z00daxthat'd be a 2 way dualcore  - so 4 in all
23:22.59*** part/#gllug stephanb (n=stef@88-110-183-153.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com)
23:23.03ErwinIs it going to have some Linux installed on it?
23:23.36z00dax:) yessir
23:23.48ErwinI thought 252 were single core, and the 265+ models were the dual core ones?
23:24.03z00daxlemme check
23:24.35Erwinz00dax: OK, then assuming you have linux and python.. run /usr/lib/python2.4/test/pystone.py 200000
23:24.47z00daxCentOS4  - py2.3
23:25.25ErwinOK, 2.3 is probably OK too, I have either version to compare with. I've been told by some people that some older Opteron model was XX% faster than some older Xeon model, but it would be nice to know for sure
23:26.33z00dax852 - 4 way
23:27.02z00daxso not dual core
23:27.02ErwinI wonder if you can have an 8-way 880 dual core system for a total of 16 cores
23:27.14z00daxshould be possible.
23:27.22z00daxopterons do 8-way total right ?
23:27.45ErwinDunno. Anyway, that number would be helpful, thanks. I'm not sure what the differences in cache sizes there are if any between the different opteron models
23:27.46z00daxi guess thats what the 8 stands for :)
23:28.25z00daxErwin, I'll get the details off the box including MoBo make/model and Ram type / hdd type etc.
23:29.23ErwinGreat, thanks.
