08:43.46iTronWe'll have no criticism from you, Citizen!
08:44.10iTronMorning.
08:44.33LeedsI may be a citizen, but I'm a resident of the glorious people's republic of China!
08:45.19iTronHas anyone seen V For Vendetta yet?
08:46.08iTron*silence*
08:46.28Leedspressure is falling towards 1 bar
08:47.18iTronLeeds: Ah yes, that typhoon's been loitering around just short of landfall for the last 12 or so hours, hasn't it.
08:47.42iTronLeeds: It'll start wearing it's hoodie soon, then come in for the attack.
08:48.05LeedsUCL are showing a greater than 80% chance of at least tropical storm level winds over HK in the next few days
08:48.47Leedsit's not so much loitering short of landfall as hanging out in the sea , threatening all the towns on the coast to see who offers least protection money
08:49.46iTronPedant. :P With the size of the bloody thing, it's more or less just off landfall. ;)
08:51.28Leedsit's not raining here yet, but we are relatively far north... it's raining on the southern islands of HK right now

09:23.07ErwinUh oh. "closed for maintenance"
09:23.21ErwinWell, I heard something about Russia signing some copyright deal to appease US..
09:23.24Leedsand has been for a couple of days now
09:24.06ErwinRussian President Vladimir Putin proclaims, "We must defend copyright inside the country. That is our obligation to our foreign partners",
09:24.13Leedsalso, possibly not as a coincidence, it was reported over the weekend as the second source for music downloads in the UK, after iTunes

09:31.39SlammerXPsomeone care to answer a, *shock*, kernel compilation question?
09:31.58rhoweSlammerXP: Someone's not here right now. Care to call back later?
09:32.00LeedsSlammerXP: try asking it...
09:32.25SlammerXPi'm making a xen-for-dummies howto which bypasses the normal xen install routines
09:32.43SlammerXPfor those who have a perfectly fine kernel already, and just want xen, not xen's kernels
09:33.05SlammerXPsince applying the xen patches, 'make bzImage' has stopped working.
09:33.20SlammerXPi can compile the kernel, but grub won't boot it wit an unrecognised format error
09:33.38SlammerXP"file" ran on the new kernel image differs to that run on the real kernel
09:33.49SlammerXPI'm wondering how to convery the new kernel image into something bootable
09:34.14SlammerXPmyth:/usr/src/linux# file vmlinuz
09:34.14SlammerXPvmlinuz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Tue May 16 11:30:38 2006, max compression
09:34.14SlammerXPmyth:/usr/src/linux# file /boot/linux-2.6.15
09:34.14SlammerXP/boot/linux-2.6.15: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x302, swap_dev 0x1, Normal VGA
09:34.17SlammerXPlike so.
09:34.39iTron*wince*
09:35.12rhoweSlammerXP: bzImage is deprecated, isn't it?
09:35.28rhoweSlammerXP: Aren't you just supposed to do "make" now?
09:35.31SlammerXPwell, it worked for the last kernel I built. i..e 2.6.15
09:36.18rhoweSlammerXP: Also, are you sure vmlinuz is what you want? Shouldn't it be arch/<$arch>/boot/bzImage
09:36.20SlammerXPjust "make" gives a vmlinuz that grub doesn't recognise.
09:36.38SlammerXPrhowe: there is no such file created.
09:37.01rhoweSlammerXP: Try just "make"
09:37.02LeedsSlammerXP: is it actually failing, in the sense of giving an error and crapping out, or is it just not bothering to build the image?
09:37.10SlammerXPLeeds: the latter
09:37.28SlammerXPrhowe: as I said, I get a vmlinuz that grub won;t boot.
09:37.33Leedswhat are the last couple of lines of output?
09:37.46SlammerXP<PROTECTED>
09:37.46SlammerXP<PROTECTED>
09:37.46SlammerXP<PROTECTED>
09:37.46SlammerXP<PROTECTED>
09:37.55LeedsI assume you have no modules?
09:38.01SlammerXPi have modules
09:38.23Leedsdo you actually have a file called vmlinuz or is it vmlinux?
09:38.53SlammerXPi have three:  vmlinux  vmlinux-stripped and vmlinuz
09:39.22Leedswait, is this meant to be an i386 kernel or a xen-on-i386 kernel?
09:39.48SlammerXPthis will be the host kernel
09:40.11SlammerXPCONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST=y
09:40.47Leedsso it's meant to be booted on top of the xen hypervisor?
09:41.18SlammerXPI wonder if I have this all wrong.
09:41.47SlammerXPafter my post yesterday, i decided to refresh my xen knowledge
09:42.01LeedsI don't know all that much about xen... but the way I understand it is you boot the hypervisor on the metal, from the BIOS, etc... then you run one (or more?) dom0 OSs, with zero or more domU OSs on top of that?
09:42.08SlammerXPxen 3.0 has appeared since I tried it last, and I didn't build it all from sourcer last time
09:42.19Leedsjust the one dom0 OS, I suppose
09:42.50Leedsit seems my ex-colleague who is porting Solaris to Xen isn't online...
09:47.11SlammerXPi think I shall stop working on the problem for a while
09:49.08rhoweSlammerXP: I've never seen a 'vmlinuz' produced by a kernel build for a fair while
09:49.17rhoweSlammerXP: What architecture? i386?
09:49.22SlammerXPallegedly
09:49.41rhoweSlammerXP: And you have no arch/i386/boot/bzImage file, after running "make"?
09:49.43SlammerXPthough I'm starting to wonder if it's not really i386-xen
09:49.49SlammerXPrhowe: correct.
09:50.02rhoweSlammerXP: Ah, if you're building dom0 or domU, it probably is i386-xen
09:50.17rhoweSlammerXP: find -type f -name 'bzImage' arch :)
09:50.52rhowe(if there is such an architecture, and if it doesn't piggy-back on the i386 arch)
09:51.04SlammerXPrhowe: nothing.
09:51.14rhoweSlammerXP: Are you sure the build completed without error?
09:51.25SlammerXPrhowe: yep. a make comes back clean
09:51.40rhoweSlammerXP: odd
09:51.51SlammerXPwell, i'm doing al kinds of not recommended things
09:52.35*** join/#gllug dani (n=dani@host81-153-169-174.range81-153.btcentralplus.com)
09:54.43rhoweIs this wise?
09:54.52SlammerXPof course not :)
10:20.58iTronLeeds: You are correct : You boot the hypervisor on the bare metal, then Domain0 is booted, and from there, any number of DomainU virtual machines. Note that you can boot a Domain-0 kernel for use as a Domain-U virtual machine, also.
10:21.49iTronIf I remember correctly, you needed to specify ARCH=xen whenever you performed a make <anything> .
10:22.09iTronI think this has changed in the newer, development versions.
10:57.11Leedsbah, it got downgraded to category 3 again

13:02.06keithlardi do not actually know how to set the fonts in gaim
13:03.07stephanb2yeah thats a good question
13:03.29stephanb2my guess is that gaim takes the fonts defined for gnome
13:04.03keithlardthese fonts work fine with unicode web pages ekcetera though
13:06.20keithlardno comprendo todo sobre fuentes ekcetera
13:06.26stephanb2keithlard: do u need to type in gaim using a non-roman alphabet ?
13:07.15keithlardi could not see some of jav's spanish letters
13:08.09stephanb2hmm, and you haven't selected "exotic" fonts (i.e. non-unicode) for your gnome desktop?
13:08.56keithlardno, unicode characters work fine, how if i type this? áéíóú
