01:14.39Zelutanyone use qemu?
01:15.48_dacis it ok to chat with ubuntu-utah folks? I'm in Texas...
01:16.57Zelutno problem here
01:17.18_dacgreat...
01:17.42_dacwhat part of utah is the group from?
01:20.45_dacare folks on this channel LDS?
01:21.38Zelut_dac: there are some LDS, yeah.  not all though
01:22.01_dacok,ty
01:22.17Zelutwhy do you ask?
01:23.32_dacI'm LDS, and have been for some 25 years, just curious about the LDS part?
01:24.42_dacI'm also 60 years old and have a son in Provo...
01:25.50Zelutmakes sense then
01:25.51_dacI've been using  ubuntu 7.04 about 3months...
01:27.09fizzZelut: have you ever heard of/used the distro called backtrack?
01:27.43_dacbeen getting some info from ubuntu and kubuntu channels, but who does one trust, you know
01:27.45Zelutfizz: no
01:28.03Zelut_dac: well I hope you're enjoying it so far.
01:28.22_daci am, thank you...
01:28.24Zelut_dac: you might want to read thru some of the archives here: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com
01:28.43_dacok
01:28.49Zelut_dac: those are tutorials I put together pretty regularly.  From simply tweaks to detailed writeups.
01:29.06_dacaiiright
01:29.17fizzit's been very useful for the work i've been doing lately. it's a live disto that is SLAX based. it's so handy though.
01:29.22_dacallright,ty
01:29.49_dacI'll check it out...
01:30.37herloZelut: I'm back
01:30.52_daczelut, are you here most of the time?
01:31.07herloZelut: I had a pretty lengthy discussion with the guys at my TC today about the viability of Linux on the desktop...
01:31.41herloZelut: the big argument one guy had was that mp3s and movies couldn't be played out of the box.  
01:31.57Zelut_dac: pretty regularly, yeah
01:32.38Zelutherlo: I'm sure the same could be said for windows 'out of the box'
01:32.40_dacok, then
01:32.40herloZelut: so I pointed out (along with a couple others in the class) that what M$ does is lets you blindly install things that are proprietary
01:33.01herloZelut: true that, except for windows media player
01:33.18herlocan play both mp3s and dvds ootb
01:33.27Zelutherlo: yeah..
01:33.28herlothing is, that's not quite true
01:33.43herloAs I pointed out to him was really what happens
01:33.54Zelutif VLC was ootb installed I think we'd be ahead of what WMP can play
01:33.59_dacherlo, for what it's worth I use Linox 100%
01:34.39herlois that the mp3 codec and libdvdcss codec are actually installed and you don't even know it.  Now you're liable
01:35.07herloin fact, one of the guys pointed out that in the EULAs you sign your life away to M$/Vendor most of the time anyway.
01:35.14_dack bye
01:35.15Zelutyep
01:35.20*** part/#ubuntu-utah _dac (n=dac@tx-76-6-81-107.dhcp.embarqhsd.net)
01:35.45herloI made the argument that at least with linux you install things with your eyes open.  You know what's shady and what fully legit
01:35.55herloor at least you should
01:36.08herlowe're an informist society
01:37.41herloZelut: I thought he was never gonna give up though... It was a tough sell, even though he's a true Linux user...
01:37.51herlo_dac, thx
01:38.07herlonot that he cares, since he's gone...but maybe..
01:38.31Zelutso I wandered around town for an hour and a half on the way home.
01:39.29herloon purpose?
01:39.29herloDid you at least get a Subway map while you were out?
01:39.29Zelutyeah.. went by the WTC, went thru a few parks.. went to the Whole Foods Market and got dinner
01:39.44herloZelut: very nice
01:39.59herloso have you figured out how to get over to bleeker street to take the subway tomorrow?
01:40.27Zelutno, didn't look.
01:41.04herloWell you should figure it out, it makes traveling in NYC soo much easier.  BTW, you can take the subway all the way to JFK
01:41.22herloZelut: what time is your flight out of NY?
01:41.26ZelutI'm going out of Newark, but I guess that's good to know for next time.
01:41.31herloOh, that's right youre doing EWR
01:41.33Zelutherlo: like 7:15pm or something..
01:41.51herloZelut: you'll be riding the train out here probably then.  It leaves from Penn Station
01:42.09herlotakes like 30 minutes or somthing.  I'll be able to tell you on Wednesday
01:42.17Zelutok
01:42.39Zelutso far I think NY is too much city for me
01:44.43herloZelut: we should go to Times Square for dinner.  I think you'll enjoy that...
01:45.58herloZelut: NYC is a great place to visit, not so much for the whole living there thing
01:46.19Zelutliving here would drive me crazy
01:49.03herlome too
01:50.12Zelutbrb
01:51.11herlonp, watching 4400
01:53.57ZelutI just finished Big Love
01:57.56Zelutherlo: how do I connect to a VM on vnc? via the IP?
01:58.22herloZelut: first you need to turn on VNC in the console mode
01:58.27herloyou can use xm console
01:58.47herloZelut: what did you think of the last 2 eps?
01:58.54herloZelut: is there a third yet?
01:59.36Zelutherlo: the latest just finished on HBO tonite.
02:00.30herloZelut: ahh, I'll be dl'ding it later then... :)
02:01.01ZelutI've been dling some shows for a few weeks.. everything is slow :(
02:03.11herloreally?  I wonder what's wrong with yours.  I get them in an hour or two at most
02:19.39ZelutI've been doing these since before Boston.. it's pathetic.
02:20.14Zelutwell I found a solution for the full screen.. almost right what I want
02:24.27*** join/#ubuntu-utah Utah_Dave (n=boucha@c-67-182-239-240.hsd1.ut.comcast.net)
02:30.52herloZelut: doing what?
02:33.27herloZelut: man, I want Kyle's ability
02:37.10herlo~say herlo
02:37.17jbotherlo
02:38.05herloZelut: I'm cruious about your opinion regarding the delay on the notify script.  Is 1:10 too long?
02:39.44herloor 70 seconds
02:40.31herloThats the longest you'd have to wait to be notified and it seems really stable.  I'm thinking I could make it run in a daemon mode, but think that's almost overkill
02:46.10Zelutdelay for what? before it disappears?
02:55.34herloZelut: delay before you get the message when someone says your name.  The script is run by a cron job that runs every minute
02:55.57herloZelut: also, could you say my name when you ask me a question?  That way the script will notify me... (=
02:57.03Zelutherlo: test
02:57.23herloZelut: worked
02:57.32Zelutherlo: are you using the scp idea you mentioned?
02:57.48herloZelut: it could be as much as 1:10 (minutes) at most before I get the message.  Do you think its too long?
02:58.00Zelutherlo: I'm sure using irssi over ssh complicates the notification.
02:58.12Zelutherlo: I'm sure a lot could happen in a 1:10..
02:58.34herloZelut: yes, the scp idea.  It works well
02:59.10herloZelut: true, but you'll just have 4 or 5 messages at once.  I could slim it down to a daemon that sits on ssh maybe over a tunnel or something.
03:00.27Zelutherlo: post what you've got. I'd like to try it.
03:01.26herloZelut: will do it in the morning.  I'm off to bed myself
03:01.42herlowriting an article right now about how bad APlus.net is...
03:08.15Utah_Davehey, herlo.  I bet this would get you some strange looks in your office!

12:12.32ZelutI hope these machines can get a work unit done before we do the install labs today..
12:13.00ZelutI guess this class might not be the best to roll that out in..
12:14.57herloZelut: that's why you should have the script handy to reroll it... :)

17:00.08herloZelut: yeah, we should meet somewhere in there because cell  phones don't always work inside the subway
17:02.11Zeluteveryone says the easiest to get to Newark Airport is just get a cab after the test too.. what did you do?
17:02.22herloI went to JFK
17:03.11herloZelut: I'd say we meet near lost and found (across from tracks 13-16) - http://tinyurl.com/383os8

17:07.25ZelutI have this guy in class that says he is the reason openSuse is 'open'

17:07.30herloits pretty easy
17:08.20herloZelut: oh yeah, how does he proclaim this?
17:09.48Zeluthe said he wrote a paper back in the day when suse was closed, the developers met with him, sang some kum-bay-yah and opened suse.
17:10.59Zeluthe says he wanted to call it 'geeko' but they went with suse..
17:11.16ZelutI actually googled him and found some validating information..
17:11.22Zeluthttp://www.linux-mag.com/id/1999
17:12.23Zeluthe's written all these for linux mag actually.. http://www.linux-mag.com/author/59

19:31.38Utah_DaveAre there any svn gurus in here?
19:54.53maquisUtah_Dave: not a guru, but i've used it
19:56.20Utah_Davewell, I've been getting a little help in #uphpu, but nobody has been able to give me a great answer yet
19:56.38[phoenyx]what's your issue?
19:56.47Utah_DaveI'm working on a little python project, I'm developing it on Linux
19:57.08Utah_DaveI have a few changes/additions to make it work well on Windows
19:57.35Utah_DaveI'm trying to figure out the best way to set it up in Subversion so I can work on the LInux version in trunk (or wherever)
19:57.48Utah_Daveand then merge all new changes into the Windows version
19:58.55Utah_DaveIt was suggested I keep it all in one codebase and do checks for the OS
20:00.11Utah_DaveI'm thinking that may be the way to go
20:00.15maquisUtah_Dave: there are pros and cons to keeping things in one codebase
20:00.39maquisit does depend on how many changes there will be, though
20:01.32maquisif you do keep it in one codebase, i'd suggest using #defines to tell the difference, and just building it for each separately
20:01.45Utah_Daveok
20:01.46herloZelut: cool beans
20:01.49Utah_Davethanks, maquis

20:27.28atoponceso, as you grow a file in vim, you can fold beneath the growth?
20:28.26atoponceif the text that you want to fold was on lines 1800-1893, but, you added a bunch of code above that, and the lines have changed to 1850-1943, and you try to fold that, it doesn't behave as expected

22:20.34Zelutapparently :)
22:20.58Zelutso far I think I prefer the 133 or 033.  This one is just full of know-it-alls, Unix guys and Solaris weirdos.
