03:55.42mheathtristanbob__: You may or may not know anything about this, but what does WSU do with old computers?
03:55.56mheathtristanbob__: I noticed in my physics lab today that the macs were replaced with new ones, with the old ones sitting there
03:56.03mheathtristanbob__: Are the old ones eventually sold?
03:56.08tristanbob__sends them to property control, who sells them to who ever wants them
03:56.14tristanbob__usually you can get a good deal
03:56.27mheathWhere is property control?
03:56.44mheathOr rather, where could I get an inventory+price list?

16:53.01pr0lehello all, is dpkg's --update-avail similar to rpm's --upgrade?
16:54.01pr0leI just have a single .deb (local file) I want to upgrade
16:54.25ZelutI've always just done dpkg -i .deb for that..
16:54.41ZelutI suppose that might be comparable, but I don't suppose I've used --update-avail
16:55.29pr0leI initially did dpkg -I, but it started to configure it as if it were a new package
16:55.56pr0lethat's a small I after dpkg...
16:56.18Zelutif you have a GUI just double-click it and that should upgrade..
16:56.31pr0leno gui...
16:56.41Zelutis the .deb you're installing not available in the repositories?  I pretty strictly use the repositories for everything.
16:57.30pr0lewell, the version I need isn't in the repository for my version of Ubuntu, and I'm pretty new to Ubuntu/debian
16:59.30pr0le--update-avail isn't it... :)
16:59.51Zelutsure the -i won't work?
17:00.52pr0leno, I'm not.  I guess I can try it... I'll just have to back up my database first.
17:01.12pr0lein case it overwrites the database this package uses
17:17.03*** join/#ubuntu-us-ut tapH20guru (n=tapH20gu@208.51.73.198)
17:19.45pr0lehmm, yeah - that just re-installed it as if it were new.
17:21.05pr0leoh well, now I know
17:25.08herloHeartsbane: ping
17:27.00Heartsbaneyes
17:27.17Heartsbaneherlo: pong
17:35.23mheathDoes anyone have a good technique for finding space-wasting files?
17:35.36mheathMy server's hard drive somehow got completely full
17:35.45mheathand I'm trying to find the problem
17:35.50herloHeartsbane: tx
17:36.00herlomheath: du
17:36.09herlomheath: find -size +1G
17:37.13pr0leI use: du / | sort -gr
17:38.06pr0lepipe it thru ssh to get it on a remote machine if the HD is so full it can't handle the file
17:38.36mheathWell, thats the weird thing
17:38.56mheathI'm getting error messages in php that imply theres no room left
17:39.03mheathand df shows theres no room left
17:39.14mheathbut I have no problem moving around the shell, doing whatever I need
17:39.54pr0ledoesn't Ubuntu keep 5% of disk space for the root user?
17:40.09mheathah.
17:40.11mheathWhat the HECK
17:40.13pr0leis that what's letting you do it?
17:40.30mheathITs not Ubuntu, but most systems do that. Thats probably it.
17:40.37mheathITs my stupid IRC bot
17:41.08mheathHow is a bots default verbosity so high that I end up with a 27GB file in a period of a few weeks?
17:41.26mheathSome plugin wasn't working correctly, so I have 27GB of repetitive python traces.
17:41.30pr0leyeah, I think it's an ext3 thing... but I've never heard of it except when it pops up on an Ubuntu install screen
17:42.53pr0leif it had been a java bot your machine probably would have crashed due to "out of memory" errors before you would have run out of space :)
17:43.02pr0leI've had that happen a few times
17:43.57mheathWow, thats fun.
17:44.03mheathThe bot wasn't even connected anymore
17:44.14mheathIt was just sitting there, churning out gigabytes of worthless log files.
17:51.25tonedevfconsider it an obtuse form of fsck.... those log files can't well be written on bad sectors now can they?
18:07.57mheathhaha
