20:56.18eightyeightYorokobi: pong
20:56.42YorokobiWhere does one obtain a 256 color xterm?
20:57.10eightyeightit is in the terminfo directory. realized that i should have put that in the post. lemme dig it
20:57.32eightyeight/usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-256color
20:57.34eightyeightand
20:57.40eightyeight/usr/share/terminfo/s/screen-256color
20:57.43eightyeightboth must exist
20:57.50eightyeight(on ubuntu, at any event)
20:58.00Yorokobiwhere do the symlinks point to?
20:58.27eightyeightsymlinks?
20:58.53Yorokobiaye, /usr/share/terminfo/x/* are symlinks to /lib/terminfo/x/*
20:59.09Yorokobi/lib/terminfor/x/xterm-256color doesn't exist
20:59.21eightyeighton ubuntu?
20:59.24Yorokobiaye
20:59.34Yorokobi8.04
20:59.41eightyeightuhh... hmmm. i have them here...
20:59.44eightyeightdigs deeper
21:00.14eightyeightncurses-term provides the file...
21:00.42Yorokobiinstalling ...
21:01.03eightyeightand mine aren't symlinks. so, i'm gussing those are in place, until that package is installed?
21:01.16eightyeighti don't remember installing ncurses-term.
21:01.20eightyeightbut i guess i did
21:01.46Yorokobiyep, that added a lot of files to /usr/share/terminfo/x/
21:01.53Yorokobiincluding xterm-256color
21:02.06eightyeightok. interesting. i guess i should add an uptade to the post
21:03.22eightyeightdone
21:03.42YorokobiThat did the trick. Cool.
21:03.52eightyeightsweet
21:03.54Zelutw00t
21:05.22eightyeightYorokobi: your comment got caught in my spam filters. removed and approved
21:09.35eightyeightrandom thought: it would be nice if dpkg kept timestamps in the database, so i could see when i installed a package
21:09.49eightyeighti have no idea when i installed that package
21:22.49Yorokobieightyeight, OSSEC HIDS sends me an email whenever a package is installed/removed (among other things).
21:23.08Yorokobinot the best solution for keeping track of what you've installed, but it works.
21:24.03eightyeightmaybe i should join the dpkg dev team, and patch it
22:28.38mheatheightyeight: good luck :P
22:29.08mheathdpkg is kind of antiquated and crude. Attempts to update any formats or database info go along at a crawl.
22:30.07mheathI was trying to work a while back on some package management related things, and ended up hitting a brick wall with all my ideas on Debian systems because of how limited the dpkg format and database is.
22:55.05eightyeightdpkg can do more than any other package manager out there
22:55.20eightyeightcouple that with the apt tools, and you have serious control
22:55.53eightyeightunfortunately, the dpkg devs feel that /var/log/dpkg/dpkg.log is good enough for timestamps, even if they're rotated and old ones deleted
23:01.57mheatheightyeight: thats the problem is the logs and lack of metadata.
23:02.03mheathI'm not knocking the package format, really.
23:02.13mheathIt was the lack of logging and metadata that was the roadblock in my interests in it.
23:02.49eightyeightother package managers, such as rpm, do some things correctly, but it does have some road blocks
23:03.07eightyeightbut, even with those road blocks, dpkg and the apt-tools, are unparalleled
23:06.37mheathI'd argue with that, but I don't want to open a can of worms :)
23:08.11eightyeightthen he quits. i guess he didn't want to go to task. :)
