11:10.28ChoHagMan Cuts Off Penis Because God Told Him...
11:10.32ChoHag...There was also a suggestion he may be suffering from psychological problems.
11:13.40DiscordianUKNo way!
11:34.46ChoHagWow. Chillies never seem to be so good in the past tense.

12:39.09dick_turpinAfternoon all
12:40.34wethrinhello dick_turpin
12:40.41wethrindid you see my responses to you on Facebook?
12:40.55dick_turpinEllo uncle wethrin
12:41.39dick_turpinOoh obviously not, was you insulting me?
12:42.44wethrinno
12:42.57wethrinscreen isn't in the default BSD packages, but you can build it from ports
12:42.59wethrinor use tmux
12:43.04wethrinwhich works in a similar way
12:43.08wethrinwith similar keybindings
12:43.58dick_turpinOoh tmux
12:44.03dick_turpinLemmie look
12:45.07dick_turpinBooh! fatal: main: lost server
12:45.13wethrinhar
12:46.36dick_turpinAll I need is the ability to ssh to the freenas box, kick irssi off then log off. Problem is that will kill irssi unless I use screen or can figure out how to run it as a service
12:47.10wethrinmmm
12:47.14wethrintmux will do what you want
12:47.21wethrinand it'll do it in pretty much the same way as screen will
12:47.35wethrinalthough the default control character is ^B, rather than ^A
12:51.29dick_turpinBut it won't run cap-i-tan
12:54.39dick_turpinstarts to strum his fingers waiting for a response
12:55.37dick_turpinwethrin: Ooh ooh it runs as root!
12:55.57dick_turpinHow do I get it to run as a normal user then?
12:56.13ChoHagwethrin: Is that 'I have a bigger penis^Wascii code' stuff?
13:03.27ChoHagHe: "Have you ever seen a baby with cancer?"
13:03.27ChoHagUs: "Yes sir"
13:03.27ChoHagHe: "Well, I dont think the baby was smoking were they?"
13:07.13dick_turpinIt suffered passive smoking instead

14:40.34ChoHag<Microsoft> Getting rid of the newlines in html emails, and nothing else, will bring those massive "Me too!" messages down to a sensible size.

16:23.12wethrinhello
16:31.23wethrindick_turpin: tmux Just Worked for me as a normal user
16:31.23ChoHagIndeed.
16:32.26dick_turpinwethrin: Dunno then, on the FreeNAS box it won't but if I su - it runs fine
16:32.44dick_turpinAt least thats from an ssh session
16:33.07wethrinwhat happens?
16:36.12dick_turpinfatal: main: lost server
16:36.38dick_turpinHow do I reattache?
16:36.52dick_turpintmux -r fails
16:40.20dick_turpintmux attach-session -d
16:40.25dick_turpinPah
16:42.37wethrinhm
16:42.57DiscordianUKIs dtach available for BSD?
16:43.13DiscordianUKI can't believe there's no screen port
16:43.29ChoHagI know the BSD folks and the GNU folks hate each other, but was using the same command line options really too much to ask?
16:43.33wethrinThere is a screen *port*
16:43.39wethrinthere's no screen *package*
16:43.46wethrinnot in FreeBSD 7, anyway
16:44.12DiscordianUKFreeBSD isn't like centos/rhel
16:44.28DiscordianUKYou are expected to do some assembly as needed
16:44.34ChoHagDiscordianUK: Yes. Thank fuck for that.
16:45.59DiscordianUKHey I build packages for stuff I need on RHEL/CentOS/fedora/Solaris
16:46.29DiscordianUKNot a solution I suggest for most users of those platforms
16:46.29dick_turpinhttp://www.dayid.org/os/notes/tm.html tmux cheat sheet
16:47.40dick_turpinwethrin: Still not solved the tmux-->normal user though :-(
16:47.46wethrinWFM
16:48.06wethrinFreeBSD 8 has screen as a pre-built package
16:48.28dick_turpinYeah but not for 7.2 :-(
16:48.40DiscordianUKI suspected that FreeBSD 8 was the last I looked at
16:49.09ChoHag./configure && gmake install ?
16:49.50dick_turpinChoHag: Actually no. Its just
16:49.54dick_turpinmake
16:50.03dick_turpinmake install
16:50.12dick_turpinApparently
16:50.25DiscordianUKindeed
16:50.29ChoHagIs fbsd make gmake?
16:50.49wethrinno
16:51.04wethrindick_turpin: Upgrade your BSD!
16:51.17wethrincd /usr/ports/foo/bar
16:51.18ChoHagDidn't think so.
16:51.20wethrinmake
16:51.23dick_turpinBut then I've spent nearly all day trawling through hundreds of sites all giving small bits of the 'whole' picture you need
16:51.24wethrinmake install
16:51.30ChoHagAnd you can guarantee gnu screen needs gnu make.
16:52.00ChoHagThen again, I hear most (all?) other makes aren't great.
16:52.01dick_turpinI must say sometimes the info you get of the net is appalling
16:52.04wethrinif it's in ports, it'll work with the standard Ports build system
16:52.16wethrindick_turpin: Specially on IRC. I wouldn't trust anything from there
16:52.35dick_turpinNo Mr Google tbh
16:53.38dick_turpinYou realy do need a small amount of knowledge to know what some of these site is telling you is a load of old kippers
16:53.43dick_turpinreally
16:53.55dick_turpinsites
16:54.19ChoHagGoogle is amazingly good at finding the rubbish ones.
16:54.49dick_turpinRight home time!
