09:56.19Clyphoxsorry.. system just choked.. outa mem.
09:56.24dank_workOops
09:56.28Clyphoxbloody laptop.. this is weird..
09:56.42ClyphoxI got nearly 200 swap too and thats full..
09:57.09ClyphoxHow can I find the memory usage of each program? ps aux sais its all using virtually nothing..
09:57.25dank_workNot sure
09:57.58Clyphoxit might just be a program.. killing xmms..
09:58.37Clyphoxnope..
09:58.45Clyphoxer.. yes!
09:58.54Clyphoxlots of swap available now..
09:58.58dank_work:)
09:59.02dank_workDid you reboot?
09:59.10Clyphoxer.. no
09:59.25ClyphoxI'm gonna increase my swap quickly.. with no reboot :)
09:59.41nasratdd is your friend
09:59.45Clyphox:)
09:59.49Clyphoxand xcalc
10:00.04dank_workBah
10:00.04dank_workbc
10:00.17Clyphoxhow do I use that?
10:00.17nasratbah, awk
10:01.30Clyphoxno bc here..  can you give me an example multiplication with awk?
10:01.45dank_workWhat about: echo $[ 3*2 ] ?
10:01.48dank_work(assuming bash)
10:01.53Clyphoxyeah..
10:03.29Clyphoxhm.. not working
10:07.29nasratwhat are you trying to calculate?
10:07.36nasratsomething based on ps?
10:08.56highburyawk 'BEGIN {print 10 * 100}'
10:09.38highburyawk '{print $1 + $2, $0}'
10:10.03highburywill add columns 1 and 2 print total followed by rest of line
10:10.50highbury"top" is a usefule utility to watch memory usage
10:11.11nasratand vmstat for checking for heavy io/swapping
10:17.15ClyphoxHmm.. its definatly a bad thing to dd a mounted swap file

12:27.40ClyphoxI need font help.
12:27.43ClyphoxI'm helpless
12:27.54Leedshelpless or clueless?
12:27.58ClyphoxAll I want is to view a font.
12:28.05ClyphoxNot sure..
12:28.12nasratdo you have the corefonts themselves (corefonts.sf.net)
12:28.13Clyphoxer view a PDF I mean
12:28.27Leedswhat are you trying to view it with?
12:28.30nasratyou can grab the cab file and you'll need cabextract
12:28.39ClyphoxXpdf and gv
12:28.57Leedsyou could always try acroread...
12:29.07ClyphoxI think it might be why I can't see all of some of these work documents
12:29.40Clyphoxno thanks.. last case scenario..
12:29.44LeedsI tend to find that xpdf can view pretty much anything nowadays
12:30.00Leedsworst case is going to Windows... acroread is less bad than that
12:30.10dank_work:)
12:30.17nasratClyphox: do you have freetype installed
12:30.34Clyphoxafaik yes.. trying to check it all

12:35.13Leedsand X and freetype can see them?
12:35.26Leedsyeah, installing the fonts might be a good start :-)

22:26.41cupispie: if you run the CGI from the command line, with warnings turned on, what warnings does perl give? or are there any warning left in the server error log?

22:27.37resuBitchformi: was a bit dodgy...
22:27.43pienot tried, the actual script is pretty big
22:27.57pieI have warnings and strict turned on
22:28.07dankolbHey
22:28.45cupispie: if you turn off strict, does it work? otherwise, we need to see what warning perl is giving - does the script have write permissions on the target directory?
22:28.51cupishi dankolb
22:29.05pie'lo
22:29.08pieyes
22:29.21resuBitchhi dan
22:29.36piethe thing is, it works when called from one place in the script (it is a sub), but not from another
22:29.49pieexcept when the text/plain header is output
22:32.07cupispie: are you using:
22:32.07cupisuse CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);
22:32.08cupiswarningsToBrowser(1);
22:32.19cupis?
22:32.47piesec
22:32.59pieno, but then the script doesn't die
22:33.17piethe script should die leaving the relavent error message in the logs.
22:33.26cupispie: those lines will tell perl to send the warning to the output HTML as comments
22:33.30pieIt doesn't write the file, but doesn't die
22:33.45pieYes, but I can check the error_logs for those warnings
22:33.55cupispie: change the print line to create a file with some static text in - see if that works
22:34.04cupispie: are there any warnings?
22:34.25pienone, although warnings are turned on in the script
22:35.56pieYep, that works
22:36.20pieit writes to the file when I make it write a static line
22:38.41cupispie: so we've narrowed the problem to the binary input/binary output print line, right?
22:39.24pieYep, except that that line does work when the subroutine is called from a different part of the script...
22:39.49cupispie: so maybe it's the input file not being picked up properly?
22:40.33piepossibly, I am using the same file for testing
22:40.48pieand it works when I use one section and not another
22:41.13pieWhat is confusing me is that printing the text/plain header makes it work, I can't see how it does that
22:41.27cupistry: if($file) { print "file exists"; } else { print "file? what file?"; }
22:42.07cupispie: the other time the script is called, has an HTTP header been printed?
22:42.31pieI am not sure where you mean, but I am checking that the file doesn't exist before attempting to write it and I can see that the file isn't there afterwards
22:42.34*** join/#gllug dpash (~david@212.56.237.89)
22:42.36pieno
22:43.08cupispie: not checking the file exists, but checking there is some content in the $file variable waiting to be read
22:43.21cupiswb dpash
22:43.31piesec
22:44.31pieYep, data there
22:45.20cupispie: try printing the text/plain header and dumping the file to STDOUT?
22:45.31cupisto confirm it is being read successfully?
22:45.46piehow do I do that (when being run as a CGI)?
22:46.12cupispie: use Data::Dumper; print Dumper( $file );
22:46.19dpashback again
22:48.15pie$VAR1 = bless( \*{'Fh::fh00001File0001.jpg'}, 'Fh' );
22:48.39cupispie: I suppose you might like to use Content-type: image/jpg rather than tesxt/plain :)
22:49.11piewell, it just dumps $VAR1 = bless( \*{'Fh::fh00001File0001.jpg'}, 'Fh' );
22:49.16pienot binary data
22:49.42cupispie: okay, what about if you do print $file; ?
22:49.54cupis(i.e. without Data::Dumper
22:49.57cupis)
22:50.21pieFile0001.jpg
22:51.03cupispie: what about if you use image/jpg and print $buffer (instead of $file?)
22:51.46piewill try
22:52.47pieworks, I get the jpeg
22:53.27cupisnow use image/jpg and print OUTPUT $buffer;
22:54.21pieworks, but I get:
22:54.22pieThe image ?http://localhost/cgi-bin/ebulbs/admin.pl? cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
22:54.54pieproblem is though, it *does* work as long as I output a header before trying to do the file write
22:55.04cupispie: do: print OUTPUT $buffer; print $buffer;
22:56.00pieworks, but with the same error
22:57.18pieHmmm, it is almost like some buffer is getting flushed when I print the header or something
22:57.34pieI tried setting $| to 1 but it didn't make a difference
22:59.20cupispie: but without the HTTP header and using print OUTPUT $buffer; if doesn't work?
22:59.40piewill try
23:01.14pieit works if I print no HTTP header
23:01.38pieobviously with a 500 error from apache
23:01.56cupispie: remove the 'exit;'
23:02.26cupisdoes it still work?
23:02.59pienope, stops working
23:03.26cupisinstead of exit;, use print "Content-type: text/plain\n\nWork, damnit!\n";
23:03.28pieWierd...
23:04.09pienope, still nothing
23:04.44cupistry my print line folowed directly by exit;
23:05.14piethat worked...
23:06.04cupispie: That part of the script works. It's later that the script fails.
23:06.29piebut surely the file should be written when I close OUTPUT?
23:06.38cupisi.e. if you create the file (and optionally print a test output) it works.
23:06.46cupispie: no, you are wrong.
23:06.53pie:-)
23:06.57pieme, never :-)
23:07.25cupispie: when you close, it is still in a buffer. it is written when the buffer is flushed. if the script dies, the buffer is discarded, not flushed.
23:08.08piehow about if I set $! to 1?
23:08.11pieOK, woerd
23:08.14piewierd
23:08.26cupisyou need to set autoflush or $|
23:10.42piesetting $| to 1 doesn't seem to make a difference
23:11.02pieI put the code segment in { } and used local $| = 1;
23:13.47cupispie: use IO::Handle; OUTPUT->autoflush(1);
23:13.59cupisafter opening, before printing
23:15.02pienope, doesn't work
23:15.08pieI now have:
23:15.17cupisautoflush(0) ?
23:15.22pie{
23:15.23pielocal $| = 1;
23:15.23pieopen (OUTPUT, ">$upload_dir$filename") or die "Could not open file $upload_dir$file for writing: $!";
23:15.23pieuse IO::Handle;
23:15.23pieOUTPUT->autoflush(1);
23:15.25piewhile (read($file, $buffer, $buffer_size)) {
23:15.27pie#print $buffer;
23:15.29pieprint OUTPUT $buffer;
23:15.31pie#print $buffer;
23:15.34pie}
23:15.35pieclose(OUTPUT) or die "Could not close file $upload_dir$file : $!";
23:15.37pie}
23:15.48piealso nope
23:16.21cupispie: fix the script so it doesn't die before the buffers are flushed?
23:16.49pieid doesn't die, it outputs valid HTML and I get a 200 OK from apache
23:16.51cupisor try just $| =1; without localising
23:17.36pieunlocaling $| doesn't work.
23:17.52pieI hate computers...
