| 12:30.09 | Cope | es |
| 12:30.10 | Cope | yes |
| 12:30.20 | Cope | i just don't understand its behaviour |
| 12:30.26 | Cope | i shall try to demonstrate |
| 12:30.34 | mozrat | I'm no expert at all, but I use it a fair bit |
| 12:30.42 | mozrat | with the apache stuff as well |
| 12:30.51 | Cope | yes, i have it up and running now |
| 12:31.02 | Cope | so I have a repo at http://svn/svn |
| 12:31.06 | Cope | fine |
| 12:31.28 | Cope | now, I had imported some random chuff into it, but then I blew it all away |
| 12:31.31 | Cope | using svn client |
| 12:31.42 | Cope | so at present if I browse to repo I get: |
| 12:34.18 | Cope | revision 30: / |
| 12:34.21 | Cope | ie empty repo |
| 12:34.22 | Cope | ok? |
| 12:34.53 | Cope | so... i have 2 test clients; one linux and one windows |
| 12:35.11 | morsing | ping Leeds |
| 12:35.26 | Cope | on linux box, let's create a project |
| 12:36.11 | Cope | ok, so cd /tmp; mkdir branches, tags, trunk |
| 12:36.20 | Cope | now let's import it into the repo |
| 12:37.26 | Cope | svn import http://svn/svn |
| 12:37.30 | Cope | ok - says it has added it |
| 12:37.33 | Cope | fine. |
| 12:37.39 | Cope | now let's check out a working copy |
| 12:37.47 | Cope | cd ~cope |
| 12:38.17 | Cope | svn co http://svn/svn |
| 12:38.23 | Cope | revison 31 checked out |
| 12:38.29 | Cope | let's do the same on winders |
| 12:39.39 | Cope | ok, checked out wokring copy using tortoise svn |
| 12:39.49 | Cope | ok, on the linux box |
| 12:40.24 | Cope | cd svn/trunk |
| 12:40.26 | Cope | vi foo |
| 12:40.26 | SlayerXP | cope: who are you talking ot? |
| 12:40.31 | mozrat | me! |
| 12:40.41 | Cope | SlayerXP: mozrat |
| 12:40.58 | SlayerXP | you know I'm a contributor to the book? :) |
| 12:41.03 | Cope | I do |
| 12:41.04 | Cope | :) |
| 12:41.24 | Cope | ok, so now I have a new file on linux box |
| 12:41.31 | Cope | so i should do an update? |
| 12:41.43 | Cope | at revision 31 |
| 12:41.47 | SlayerXP | no, you should add, then commit |
| 12:41.55 | Cope | add? |
| 12:42.08 | SlayerXP | you only _need_ to do an update in the event of a conflict, or when you really want to update |
| 12:42.22 | Cope | ok... so what did my update do? basically nothing? as the repo was unchanged |
| 12:42.37 | SlayerXP | indeed. |
| 12:43.10 | Cope | right... so which, if any files are currently under version control? |
| 12:43.16 | Cope | the ones I imported and checked out? |
| 12:43.22 | Cope | but not new files under them? |
| 12:43.27 | SlayerXP | svn st -v |
| 12:44.06 | Cope | ok... ? next to foo; and . |
| 12:44.18 | SlayerXP | which means those are unversioned |
| 12:44.34 | Cope | oh there is nothing beside . |
| 12:44.34 | SlayerXP | i.e. svn doesn't know anything about them |
| 12:44.39 | Cope | just foo |
| 12:45.22 | Cope | right... if i go to top level and do st -v |
| 12:45.29 | Cope | i can see which are under version crontrol |
| 12:45.30 | Cope | ok |
| 12:45.58 | SlayerXP | "svn st" on its own, will only tell you about oddities |
| 12:46.07 | SlayerXP | -v makes it tell you about everything |
| 12:46.21 | Cope | right, ok so I added foo |
| 12:46.37 | Cope | having faled to see an "add everything taht isn't already under version control" option |
| 12:47.17 | Cope | so now i commit |
| 12:47.37 | Cope | ok... done |
| 12:47.38 | SlayerXP | "svn add *" |
| 12:47.55 | Cope | think i did taht |
| 12:47.58 | SlayerXP | svn ci -m "Added foo." |
| 12:48.01 | Cope | it didn't seem to act recursively |
| 12:48.06 | *** part/#gllug Gunde (n=gunde@dillevel4.cimr.cam.ac.uk) |
| 12:48.12 | SlayerXP | use the -r switch to make it recurse |
| 12:48.19 | Cope | so i did svn add trunk/foo |
| 12:48.29 | Cope | svn ci -m "added foo" |
| 12:48.32 | Cope | seemed to work |
| 12:48.37 | Cope | so now let's check out on winders |
| 12:49.11 | Cope | ok, that's fine - did svn update of already checked out working copy |
| 12:49.12 | Cope | all ok |
| 12:49.37 | Cope | think it was just "add" i was missing |

| 13:49.08 | Leeds | yes, of course |
| 13:49.39 | wethrin | What's the easiest way of getting a new Linux install onto it? Boot from CD? |
| 13:49.45 | Leeds | yes, of course |
| 13:50.05 | Leeds | the point is that it's got a replacement BIOS, which doesn't run games, but will boot Linux from CD or HD |
| 13:50.22 | wethrin | Excellent. Is there a specific distro for it, or will any work? |
| 13:51.03 | Leeds | um, yes and no... you need - or needed, last time I looked - a lightly-patched kernel, and there are one or two xbox-specific-ish drivers |
| 13:51.23 | chrismil | Hi guys, long time since I was here. Quick question: anyone got a source of PCI sata card with e-sata (external SATA connection) in the UK (i.e. delivery tomorrow). I like the look of the Addonics AD2SAP but for sale in the UK I've not tracked down |
| 13:51.24 | wethrin | okay |
| 13:51.44 | Leeds | so in short, they're pretty normal distros, but lightly-forked for xbox use |
| 13:52.14 | wethrin | Leeds: Right. That's fine - I just need something light to run mplayer/vlc with |
| 13:52.36 | Leeds | wethrin: it's more normal to run something like freevo on it as a frontend - that's how I did it |
| 13:53.03 | morsing | Leeds: Should I run sa-learn on the folder that SA has put spam in? |
| 13:53.04 | wethrin | Cool - that allows browsing around the filesystem, then? |
| 13:53.11 | wethrin | oh - is it networkable? |
| 13:54.06 | Leeds | morsing: yes, if you've checked it for false positives |
| 13:54.27 | Leeds | of course it's networkable - would be pretty useless otherwise |
| 13:54.55 | Leeds | wethrin: do me a favour - go read the specs :-) |
| 13:55.32 | wethrin | Fine :-P |

| 14:19.58 | phearless | anybody know good sellers of servers in the uk ? |
| 14:20.34 | z00dax | phearless: i dont think there is such a thing |
| 14:20.39 | phearless | for example for a 2U, RAID5, 3x250GB HD, 2G RAM, dual power supply |
| 14:20.42 | z00dax | its just personal experience |
| 14:21.20 | phearless | except DELL because it is a bit overpriced |
| 14:21.35 | z00dax | Dell is over priced ? thats a first... |
| 14:21.54 | z00dax | well, try Sun / HP / IBM for branded stuff - xinit.com / rackservers.co.uk for diy kit |
| 14:22.45 | phearless | I will have a look at this ! |
| 14:27.46 | eyore | does anyone else heavily use firefox under linux? |
| 14:28.11 | boudiccas | eyore; define 'heavily'? |
| 14:28.47 | boudiccas | i use ff all the time and its left open all the time too, as is opera |
| 14:28.51 | eyore | enough to frequently get affected by iframes popping out in a new window for no reason and have found a fix |
| 14:29.20 | boudiccas | eyore; nope, no problems except it seems to eat my swap |
| 14:29.25 | eyore | I find during heavy usage periods frequently it starts popping out the windows |
| 14:29.29 | eyore | it's really annoying |
| 14:29.48 | eyore | and if you accidentily close any of those windows the whole of firefox dies |
| 14:30.12 | boudiccas | maybe you can find an extension or greasemonkey to get round the problem |
| 14:30.59 | boudiccas | my ff is remarkably persistent and hardly ever dies, maybe once or twice a month if that |
| 14:31.17 | eyore | it's not like some advert script |
| 14:31.22 | eyore | it's just firefox going crazy |
| 14:31.52 | boudiccas | it'just works' [TM] for me :) |
| 14:32.29 | morsing | Check it! |

| 20:26.33 | knokapix | Hello, anyone out there? I am the worst and I am the best. That will keep the ibot lawyers busy for a while. Such a scary wellcoming message you've got in there. |
| 20:33.38 | Xotl | are you prepared to defend your statement of simultaneously being best and worst in court? |
| 20:36.49 | knokapix | If I'd say yes by default I would be sued as a lier. But I would die first of old age before they decide exactly which one is the lie. |
| 20:39.33 | knokapix | Anyway, are you guys really intending to meet on Saturday in the park? How much distance/walking time from there to the talk/UniWes? |
| 20:41.05 | Xotl | I'm wondering how many members of the general public will be interested in software freedom day |
| 20:42.36 | knokapix | This looks like a very busy channel. Could it be that the lawyers have scared anyone out? And they say about terrorists...... |
| 20:43.54 | Xotl | you only said one thing and you already got sued, so yeah i guess the lawyers scared everyone away |
| 20:44.28 | knokapix | What am I being accused of? |
| 20:44.41 | Xotl | simultaneously lying and telling the truth |
| 20:45.54 | wethrin | It's about half to 2/3 mile from the park to the Uni, going via Tottenham Court Road (rather than direct) |
| 20:48.19 | knokapix | Thank you very much. And sorry, could you get sued because of only using miles instead of km? |
| 20:49.48 | Xotl | yeah you get sued by euroibot |
| 20:52.07 | wethrin | The join-text is basically saying that this channel is publically logged by ibot, so don't say anything you wouldn't normally do in public |
| 20:54.37 | Xotl | what happens if someone is really rude in public normally and is just being themselves in this channel? |
| 20:55.43 | knokapix | Sorry, maybe I'm asking something I SHOULD already know, but why is this ibot special? There's always been bots around. I thought this was like being in public. And even easier to kick somebody out without making a mess of blood. |
| 20:56.22 | wethrin | Xotl: Nothing, then |
| 20:56.58 | wethrin | knokapix: It's historic reasons due to people complaining about ibot logging |
| 20:58.08 | Xotl | i assume ibot is covered by the data protection act? |
| 20:59.37 | wethrin | ibot's US based |
| 21:00.23 | Xotl | yeah but he's operating here though right? he must be covered by uk law |
| 21:01.54 | wethrin | No idea |
| 21:02.04 | wethrin | Most people don't care about it :) |
| 21:02.40 | Xotl | so maybe the welcome message means you have to defend yourself in a US court? maybe you get to defend yourself at Guantanamo Bay? |
| 21:02.53 | wethrin | Depends. Does orange suit you? |

| 21:03.42 | knokapix | Are also chats being logged? Well, in a private way is not strange, but everything, everything logged and checked? Maybe it will happen with carnivore like with that guy in "The meaning of life". It will explode of so much eating. |
| 21:04.05 | Xotl | I would have to brush up on my illegal combatant / irc participant laws in order to avoid detention |
| 21:04.24 | knokapix | As for orange prize or lemon prize I'd prefer lemon. |
| 21:06.06 | Xotl | the NSA have big databases, I doubt they'll run out of room. I think this irc channel is probably one of their monitoring priorities |

| 21:13.37 | Xotl | As anyone at microsoft could explain to you, open source advocates are communinsts, communists want to bring about the downfall of the US, kind of like terrorists. Therefore open source advocates are terrorists. |
| 21:15.25 | knokapix | I thought terrorists where the ones provoking terror, not the ones receiving it. Marked for life for accessing to an IRC channel... |

| 21:29.35 | Xotl | what's the difference between you guys and Lonix? |
| 21:31.56 | knokapix | As somebody put it, Lonix would be more like a drinking/socializing club. |
| 21:34.03 | knokapix | And as somebody put it as well, Lonix and GLLUG were probably the perfect complement. |
| 21:34.35 | Xotl | gllug is more about presentations and stuff? |
| 21:36.34 | Xotl | is there quite a lot of overlap in terms of who turns up to the respective meetings? |
| 21:42.14 | knokapix | In general there is some overlap but not much, though I haven't been to the last meetings. I suppose that before it used to be more common because the gllug meetings weren't very often. |
| 21:43.45 | Xotl | thanks knokapix. |
| 21:57.01 | knokapix | It is strange my head is not fed up on storing "strange situations happening around" (sorry guys, I've got copyright of that phrase, whether you like it or not:). The only advantage is that if somebody opens my head the content will be useless. Anyway, has anyone seen Mr Masters latelly. |

| 22:21.22 | iTron | At last, decent thunderstorm hits what I call The Burnt Oak Weather Hole - called so because all the intersting weather always manages to bypass me. |
| 22:21.51 | Xotl | global warming will soon fix that |
| 22:22.03 | murb | bah |
| 22:22.14 | murb | i don't want european galaciers to melt. |
| 22:22.19 | iTron | Me moving to Japan will also fix that. |
| 22:22.31 | murb | atleast not before we have developed ski resorts in antartica! |
| 22:22.50 | iTron | murb: Antartica will melt too you know. |
| 22:23.12 | Xotl | japan will get so humid it will be like a rainforest |
| 22:23.24 | iTron | Then there'll be a different problem to worry about - that being London becoming one large swimming pool. |
| 22:23.26 | murb | Xotl: japan is already quite a dangerious place to ski |
| 22:23.47 | murb | tends to be high avalanch risk most of the time. |
| 22:23.59 | iTron | Japan is a dangerous place anyways - typhoons, earthquakes, volcanoes... |
| 22:24.04 | murb | i know some people like the extra thrill of being crushed under tons of snow ... |
| 22:24.13 | iTron | japan's a fun place to be. |
| 22:24.24 | Xotl | iTron: is that why you're moving there, for the exiting weather |
| 22:24.30 | murb | iTron: i don't know if many skiers have been killed by volcanoes, tyhphoons. |
| 22:24.30 | iTron | Nah. |
| 22:24.55 | Xotl | murb: only skiers in japan |
| 22:25.08 | murb | iTron: only if JAL have a special deals to .au/.nz |
| 22:25.16 | iTron | Xotl: I'm moving because I despise living in England, plus I don't want my son turning out to be a chav, amongst other extremely good, valid reasons. |
| 22:25.50 | iTron | Xotl: My wife's Japanese, btw. |
| 22:26.12 | Xotl | iTron: is she a keen skier? |
| 22:26.23 | iTron | Xotl: Not that I know of. |
| 22:26.49 | iTron | I'm also crap at skiing. When I lived in Scotland i tried skiing a few times. The results were... dangerous. |
| 22:27.39 | Xotl | iTron: and that was without typhoons to increase the danger |
| 22:27.54 | murb | iTron: well skiing in scotland is a little limited! |
| 22:28.15 | Xotl | yeah there's only the top bit of ben nevis |
| 22:28.37 | iTron | I think Someone Up There doesn't want me to ski anyway.. one time I tried the skis kept steering me towards the spkiey wooden fence at the edge of the run, or towards the snowplough. Another time I suddenly came down with flu on the way to the ski slopes. |
| 22:28.58 | murb | iTron: come to geekski then. |
| 22:29.03 | iTron | No. |
| 22:29.04 | murb | learn to apreski properly |
| 22:29.18 | iTron | Skiing is something I'm not designed for. |
| 22:29.19 | murb | iTron: it could be worth it just for the apreski |
| 22:29.24 | Xotl | iTron: don't go skiing in japan then cos you will be one of the ones killed by a volcano whilst skiiing |
| 22:29.27 | murb | iTron: you could sit on a tray instead |
| 22:29.44 | Xotl | whats geekski |
| 22:30.09 | iTron | murb: I went skiing many, many years ago - when global warming didn.t have such an affect on Scotland's weather and we actually had ski slopes to talk about. |
| 22:30.31 | murb | iTron: you could try Rodelbahning |
| 22:30.43 | iTron | Bless you. Oh i thought you just sneezed. |

| 22:31.48 | murb | (which still has a gletcher) |
| 22:32.06 | iTron | I'd love to try snowboarding though. I used to be very good at skateboarding - there can't be a world of difference between the two ;) |
| 22:32.10 | Xotl | how can the apres ski be good when there are hardly any women |
| 22:33.05 | murb | iTron: well quite a few snowboarders at geekski as well. |
| 22:33.20 | murb | Xotl: hmm? |
| 22:33.32 | murb | Xotl: are you blind there are of course lots of women! |
| 22:33.52 | Xotl | on geekski? amazing |
| 22:34.11 | murb | Xotl: why? |
| 22:35.14 | Xotl | am i missing something here? almost all geeks are blokes in any environment i've come across |
| 22:35.40 | murb | Xotl: have you ever been to a ski resort? |
| 22:36.09 | Xotl | no but i've been to plenty of technical meetings |
| 22:36.18 | murb | well then. |
| 22:36.33 | cpufreak | I generally find blokes are outnumbered at ski resorts |
