15:30.31Guest41136Hi peoples
15:33.31Guest41136Don't ask me how I got here - I just did! But under a guest name? Um. I've just survived joining BT Infinity. Not without losses. like my e-mail ...
15:40.02Guest41136I HAD installed PClinuxOS. VERY nice. NO can do for e-mail though 'cos it's LINUX, INNIT! Ok, I install the probably better-known Ubuntu, the latest 10.10., Now, e-mail password's not recognised cos I had to "wipe" the router (the home hub!) So now, nuffink, 'cept thankfully xchat. Happy days ...
15:42.40z00daxno email sounds like quite a desireable result
15:43.13Guest41136I had this fond hope, That amongst those connecting to this channel, there might be someone who, even though linux-aware, might have some better advice than pier-jumping ...
15:44.01z00daxI'm on bethere, host my own email - so no idea what/how BTI is setup
15:44.03Guest41136Go on - enjoy!
15:44.35z00daxhave had something through the post a few days back giving us the good news that BTI is now available in our area.
15:44.55Guest41136Yeah, so did I.
15:45.12z00daxso whats the big win on BTI compared with a regular adsl provider ?
15:45.50Guest41136OK, I HAD been with Demon. 'nuff said?
15:46.20z00daxhumm yeah, Demon has had better days
15:46.41z00daxalso, looks like BTI has some sort of a internet + tv + phone thing going on
15:46.45LeedsI use gmail nowadays
15:46.51kjsbti is fater?
15:46.53kjsfaster
15:47.01z00daxand upto 40mbps..maybe its worth a look see
15:47.08kjsGuest41136: let me get this right you cant setup an email client?
15:47.15z00daxLeeds: not moved to @facebook.com yet :)
15:47.27Leedsthat is not a going-to-happen thing :)
15:47.44kjshaha
15:48.16kjsSo who has any predictions about that failing?
15:48.36z00daxif they do it, it wont fail. unless there are technical issues behind it.
15:48.58kjswho wants to use an @facebook email address though?
15:49.12z00daxkjs: I'd say a vast majority of the internet wont mind
15:49.21z00daxerm, i mean Internet users
15:49.23ChoHagI'm so glad I'm not here to work on this place's codebase.
15:49.25Guest41136Hi kjs: under Ubuntu I have Evolution nearly set up, awaiting only the acceptance of the passwortd (which i'd earlier wiped in "wiping" the router.
15:49.39ChoHagFuck me but I had no idea perl could be written *this* badly.
15:50.38kjsz00dax: yeah i guess you have a point.
15:50.39Leedsoh it can
15:51.18wethrinChoHag: You looking at the Perl that comes with Big Brother?
15:51.29ChoHagNo this company's own app.
15:51.39ChoHags/ /, /
15:52.05z00daxGuest41136: why not move to something ISP agnostic and not need to worry about this in the future ?
15:52.13z00daxGuest41136: eg: gmail and friends
15:52.40kjsI dont understand how resetting the router will affect your email.
15:52.44Guest41136THAT sounds liike it ...
15:52.58kjswhat does?
15:54.14z00daxspecially if you have 'lost' your last address, this might be a good time to rebase over to something that wont go down with your isp. and i think gmail is a safe bet, for now.
15:54.49kjsI agree, I use gmail for my personal mail.
15:55.30wethrinI run my own mail system
15:56.00Guest41136kjs et al: blurry good advice, by the sound of it. I'll give it a go ...
15:58.18Guest41136Bye for now. I hope to return soon, more properly as mumper, then. I'll let you know how this old fart's got on ...
16:00.14kjsI thought that guy was trolling
16:00.29wethrinNo
16:03.09kjshum it seems I need a facebook "username"
16:44.04z00daxbetter get it now kjs before the only ones available are kjs5687
17:08.08ChoHagWhy the ever-living fuck does centos restrict write access to /var/lock??
17:36.17z00daxChoHag: it doesn't
17:36.22z00daxyou just need to get your groups right
17:39.14ChoHagIt does restrict it.
17:39.23ChoHagIt restricts it to root and members of the lock group.
17:39.50z00daxyup, so if you need proc's / users's writing their locks there, put them in the lock group
17:41.06z00daxactually, there was something in the lsb recently about this.
17:41.13z00daxcant remember if it was for or against the lock group :D
17:41.25ChoHagAgainst, hopefully. It's silly.
