00:42.06adminjsso i'm now in my bed good n8!
00:47.23Leedsibot change 1 gbp to aud
00:48.57haliz00dax: must say i like giddeons centos5 artwork... pretty sleak and straight forward
01:17.58z00daxhali: which one - he has done 4
01:29.09haliz00dax: http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork and especially the second one, "line art"
01:29.39z00daxyeah that does look nice. I also like the one that Brian has done
01:29.45z00daxbut the blue needs to tone down a bit
01:30.05haliyeah, that will look to dark on old lcd's
02:30.58z00daxok, so any -devel type people arond /
02:31.01z00daxaround!
02:45.14Leedsgronda gronda
02:45.47z00daxLeeds: knowmuch perl ?
02:45.55Leedsnope
02:46.06Leedsknow plenty of python, C, shell...
02:48.22z00daxaha!
02:50.38z00daxhttp://pastebin.ca/314842
02:50.43z00daxw.t.f is going on here ?
02:51.42Leedserror: 'PAGE_SIZE' undeclared (first use in this function)
02:51.56z00daxhttp://pastebin.ca/314843
02:52.13z00daxspecially when that works ( new post, which is i686 build ) - the first one was x86_64
02:52.21z00daxthe buildroots are _identical_
02:53.24Leedsthey're not building the same thing
02:53.53z00daxurr ?
02:54.29z00daxhumm
02:55.09Leedsthe second one isn't attempting to build vbetool or radeontool
02:56.18z00daxit also seems the x86_64 makes are being run before the ./configure is done - or is configure doing it for the deps
02:56.33z00dax90. Making all in x86emu
02:56.35Leedspm-utils appears to have an older vbetool source tree contained within it (0.4) than the one you're trying to build (0.5.1)
02:56.50Leedsyou know my feelings towards automated build and packaging systems, right? :-)
02:57.51z00daxyes
02:58.05z00daxbut i dont think its that whats the issue - it looks like Makefile and automake madness
02:58.33Leedsthat stuff can get messy as well, yes
02:59.03z00daxthe whole point of having rpms is so that the build is reproduceable and across platforms
02:59.19z00daxwhy would it do something on x86_64 and something else on i386, is beyond me.
02:59.34z00daxanyway, looks like i get to play with configure and makefiles for a bit. thanks for spotting that
02:59.48Leedspleasure - always happy to (not) help...
03:03.24z00daxactually..
03:17.15z00daxwhere is that PAGE_SIZE defined anyway, should be in the kernele-devel
03:17.21z00daxkernel-devel
03:19.11Leedssounds like it
03:19.48z00daxand since its trying to build in86emu ( whatever that might be )  - it prolly needs kernel-devel.i686
03:20.28Leedssounds like it
03:20.40z00dax:(
03:20.58Leedsvbetool runs in 8086 mode, because it talks directly to the kernel
03:20.59z00daximmna need a chroot for this, am not corrupting my x86_64 root with 32bit garbage
03:21.05Leedsuh, talks directly to the *BIOS*
03:21.07z00daxkernel or hware
03:21.09z00daxright
03:21.13Leedsalbeit the VGA BIOS

20:12.11goibhniuhey mikejw what's down?
20:15.05mikejwjust chillin
20:15.09mikejwhow are you?
20:15.33goibhniugood good ... just youtubing a bit, and contemplating an arch install
20:16.09mikejwoh coolio
20:16.41mikejwI haven't tried that out yet
20:16.53goibhniuI did once and it was very impressive
20:17.01goibhniuuntil I went to upgrade
20:17.13goibhniuthe install is very fast and easy
20:17.58mikejwis it text based?
20:18.04goibhniuthere's a new release on the way and it sounds like they've the upgrade issue fixed
20:18.10goibhniuncurses I believe
20:18.18mikejwrighty
20:18.26goibhniuyou're up and running in 20 mins or so
20:18.46goibhniualthough their servers are pretty slow, so installing gnome takes a fair while after that
20:19.18mikejwmy favourite installer is still the slackwae one :)
20:19.34goibhniuI want something zippy to use for video editing, and I've a nice laptop whose screen has died so I'm thinking I can use that
20:19.41goibhniuI've never tried slackware
20:19.50goibhniumaybe that's the one to try
20:20.03mikejwI think arch linux might be based on it
20:20.04goibhniuI was caught between gentoo and arch
20:20.35goibhniuslack is all vanilla isn't it ... I think arch do some funky stuff to the packages .. could be wrong though
20:20.55goibhniuthe pacman package manager is arch specific iirc
20:22.14goibhniuI do like the sound of slackware a bit, but it sounds a bit scary too
20:22.29goibhniuit's not tied to a particular package manager, right?
20:22.47mikejwI guess it depends what you're going to throw at it after the install :)
20:23.49mikejwslackware does have it's own package type
20:24.07goibhniucinelerra is the main thing, and that has a nice big set of dependencies that wouldn't be fun to work out
20:24.17mikejwhmm
20:27.22mikejwthat's what make is for?
20:27.27mikejw:)
20:28.22goibhniuhey were you asking about pdas yesterday?
20:28.26goibhniuI've got a zaurus
20:28.44goibhniujust looking at screenshots of enlightenment on an hx4700
20:28.51goibhniuftp://gentoo.ru/hx4700/screenshots/X/
20:29.07mikejwI don't think that was me
20:29.12goibhniuoh! sorry
20:29.22mikejwinteresting none the less :D
21:16.42antiphaseI used Slackware until it became apparent that it's pointless putting yourself through so much pain doing something any other distro has a package manager for
21:16.51antiphaseIt's just not worth it any more
