| 12:56.20 | goibhniu | the live-cd install is more fun though IMO |
| 12:56.58 | mikejw | hmm |
| 12:57.09 | mikejw | it's a xeon chip too |
| 12:57.19 | mikejw | plus I want to setup software raid |

| 12:57.56 | goibhniu | okie ... I dunno about that, I'd think the xeon wouldn't be a problem |
| 12:58.25 | goibhniu | so you've installed roxio and it has taken liberties with your registry ... is that the problem? |
| 12:58.45 | mikejw | oh that's on a different machine |
| 12:59.00 | mikejw | it's a dedicated machine for cd burnding :P |
| 12:59.03 | goibhniu | sure, but that's why you can't burn it, right? |

| 12:59.10 | mikejw | *yep |
| 12:59.11 | goibhniu | sweet :) |
| 12:59.37 | mikejw | I mean I imagine that's what the problem is |
| 12:59.40 | goibhniu | so you need to reinstall windows now to burn a cd? |
| 12:59.50 | mikejw | most probably |
| 13:00.02 | goibhniu | terror |
| 13:00.56 | goibhniu | if you're going to anyway ... you might as well destroy the registry in the hope that it will fix it |
| 13:01.13 | mikejw | that machine's not my responsibility |
| 13:01.29 | mikejw | i don't think it normally sees iso files |
| 13:01.42 | goibhniu | ah ok |
| 13:01.45 | mikejw | :] |
| 13:02.26 | mikejw | I might go an buy a proper USB stick |

| 14:34.56 | dick_turpin | bilarh: I know, its me in the subaru I cant get cpufreak to pull over |
| 14:35.18 | bilarh | i'm a bit pissed off with the swedish media at the moment... there's this story about a gang of youths attacking this (now) 19 year old disabled kid over a period of about three years, including harassing his family loads and loads, threatening to kill the family etc etc... |
| 14:35.44 | bilarh | then last weekend they came to the house at about 2am and started banging on the doors, trying to pull it open and stuff, so the dad panicked and shot two of them with a shot gun |
| 14:35.55 | bilarh | so one of the yobs died and the other one is in intensive care |
| 14:36.30 | bilarh | and now it's all "bohoo, the poor yob got shot" and the grand mother is in the papers saying "my grand son was such a good kid, he'd never get involved in anything like this" etc etc |
| 14:36.37 | bilarh | ffs, pisses me off no end |
| 14:37.00 | bilarh | shoot the rest of the gang as well, useless cunts |
| 14:37.06 | boudiccas | i log off to flush my memeory and ram and swap space, am greeted with a console inviting me to login...so i log back in and restart everything on kde using startx and then when i'm back at my gui i've regained my mouseover with the clock showing me my selected world times.......something that was missing before i logged off. how can i get rid of the console and get to the correct startup screen for kde??? i've tried ~. and ctrl+ |
| 14:37.07 | boudiccas | alt+f7 but nothing happens with either of them. any ideas please folks??? This is on Centos 5. |
| 14:39.52 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: is kdm (Or gdm) running? sounds like your running xdm |

| 14:40.34 | boudiccas | kdm should/maybe running in the background as i've just logged out of kde and my eggdrop bot is still running in the background |
| 14:41.33 | boudiccas | the answers that i've got so far is 'init 5 as root' and use 'alt+f7' as user |
| 14:41.43 | niv_one_three | well , I am using tar to copy of one hard disk to the other |
| 14:41.59 | boudiccas | and in that case hsould be /or/ |
| 14:42.02 | niv_one_three | I think I may pip it of one hard disk to the other |
| 14:42.04 | boudiccas | *should |
| 14:42.22 | niv_one_three | *pipe |
| 14:42.54 | niv_one_three | right? |
| 14:43.00 | antiphase | And.... |
| 14:43.08 | niv_one_three | ok, how to use tar to cp? |
| 14:43.21 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: I take it you've treid ctrl+alt+backspace to kill the xserver then /etc/innit.d/kdm start |
| 14:43.32 | antiphase | How did you decide to use tar without knowing what it does? ;) |
| 14:44.40 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; no, i just input users name and password, and then run 'startx' and log back in via kde grpahical screen |
| 14:44.44 | boudiccas | *graphical |
| 14:45.18 | antiphase | I'm always in favour of `telinit 2` to shut down X, and `telinit 5` to restart it |
| 14:45.47 | boudiccas | antiphase; but they run as root, i'm trying to do it all as user |
| 14:46.08 | antiphase | You can't use a graphical login manager as a user |
| 14:47.00 | antiphase | It has inadequate access to the authentication stuff I'd imagine |
| 14:47.04 | antiphase | I could be wrong though |
| 14:47.23 | antiphase | Secondly, WHY? :) |
| 14:47.26 | boudiccas | now this is a new concept to me. on starting up the machine, are you saying that its starting as 'root' until i get the kde user input and password? |
| 14:47.38 | antiphase | Yes |
| 14:47.59 | boudiccas | oh, i never knew that! but i never thought about it either! |
| 14:49.10 | boudiccas | so in the case that i've outlined am i dropping back to the root login console??? |
| 14:49.46 | antiphase | If you kill X, you will end up at a tty with a login prompt |
| 14:50.31 | boudiccas | whats a 'tty'? |
| 14:50.38 | wethrin | teletype |
| 14:50.49 | wethrin | or, if you will, text terminal |
| 14:51.21 | boudiccas | hmmm |

| 14:53.40 | boudiccas | and all 3 of mine have completed uploading so theyre on their way to you |
| 14:54.03 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: I've been following what everyone has said so far, Am I wrong, you are sat in front of the machine aren't you? |
| 14:54.37 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Or are you doing remote access? |
| 14:54.42 | boudiccas | it seems like i shall be doing some more exeprimenting next time that i log off to flush the swap space. thanks for all the input and teaching |
| 14:54.58 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; yes, no remote access at all |
| 14:55.33 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Looks/sounds like your sorted now, I'll bugger off then |

| 15:00.42 | antiphase | Well, try it out |
| 15:00.56 | antiphase | v is a bit pointless to use twice as well |

| 15:03.43 | niv_one_three | oh so I better use rsync? |
| 15:03.56 | antiphase | Yes, like we said yesterday :) |
| 15:04.23 | niv_one_three | ok, as you know rsync better then I , how may I keep the permstion and rsync the old jard disk? |
| 15:04.30 | antiphase | rsync -a /source/ /target |
| 15:04.36 | niv_one_three | just -a ? |

| 15:05.01 | niv_one_three | I didnt understand, and too much work here made me forget |
| 15:05.05 | antiphase | You can use -v to see what it's moving, and --dry-run to verify it without actually copying data |

| 17:02.00 | niv_one_three | well, I should seek a new appartment, managed to see one last night. was totaly not relevent |
| 17:02.24 | Leeds | I will probably have to do that in a few months - my flatmate is probably going back to Europe in the new year |
| 17:02.32 | niv_one_three | the one I found today (investing 5min of work time) has just gone of the list |

| 17:04.15 | niv_one_three | I hope to get a new view of the desert |
| 17:04.21 | Leeds | hmm... 100 sqm in f^2? |
| 17:04.34 | niv_one_three | f~2 ? |
| 17:04.59 | niv_one_three | the flat I live in now, is going at 475$ |
| 17:05.04 | Leeds | square feet - that's how they do things here |
| 17:05.26 | niv_one_three | but he caved to 440$ |

| 17:05.52 | niv_one_three | ~ibot convert 100sqm to sqf |
| 17:06.40 | niv_one_three | only issue is that for 400$ one can get room in the big city -> tel aviv |

| 20:23.04 | z00dax | oooh.. nice |
| 20:23.08 | z00dax | is it for me ? |
| 20:23.09 | secretlondon | they sent it by courier rather than recorded delivery |
| 20:23.43 | secretlondon | I've not unpacked it yet, they say it doesn't need windows drivers, but does need mac drivers. we'll see how it works under linux |
| 20:23.44 | z00dax | the winning lottery ticket for this weekends draw ? |
| 20:23.56 | z00dax | o^O |
| 20:23.58 | secretlondon | Vodafone 3.5g usb modem |
| 20:24.06 | z00dax | ah right |
| 20:24.28 | secretlondon | I get proper broadband back rather than neighbour;s wifi *excitement* |
| 20:26.03 | Discordian | Yay |
| 20:29.13 | secretlondon | the are branding hsdpa as "3g broadband" |
| 20:30.49 | secretlondon | ah its a huawei e270 |
| 20:32.57 | sabinef72 | boudiccas: still not !!!!!!!! |
| 20:33.06 | sabinef72 | boudiccas: the due date is 14 th |
| 20:34.44 | z00dax | secretlondon: a bunch of isp's in india have been selling that for years - there should be plenty of linux support |
| 20:34.52 | z00dax | iirc it might just come up as a usb_serial device even |
| 20:34.54 | z00dax | sabinef72: hi |
| 20:34.55 | secretlondon | ok |
| 20:35.00 | secretlondon | z00dax:ty |
| 20:35.38 | z00dax | i didnt realise vodafone where doing it here in the uk as well. is it economical ? |
| 20:37.02 | secretlondon | well I can't get a phone line from bt |
| 20:37.08 | secretlondon | due a long story |
| 20:37.27 | secretlondon | it's £30pm for up to 7Mbs |
| 20:37.54 | secretlondon | but unlike everything else I don't need to pay for line rental |
| 20:38.05 | secretlondon | which makes it about £20 |
| 20:38.17 | secretlondon | and it's portable so I can take it with me |
| 20:38.25 | secretlondon | which makes it useful |
| 20:38.58 | secretlondon | there is talk of setting up a "hack lab" somewhere which may also get its broadband through a similar device too |
| 20:40.11 | z00dax | so, 20 for 7mbps - unlimited ? I presume there is a cap or reminder at 10 - 12 gigs /month or something |
| 20:40.26 | secretlondon | 3g a month |
| 20:40.31 | Provito | z00dax, http://www.vodafonebusinessshop.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=MobileEmailAndData.UsbModem72&planDuration=18 |
| 20:40.41 | Provito | secretlondon, your going to hit that pretty quick? |
| 20:41.06 | secretlondon | I hope not - I was around 3 gig last time I had broadband |
| 20:41.21 | secretlondon | second life ate loads, but I don't really do a lot of video |
| 20:43.46 | z00dax | humm T-mobile seems to have something similar with no cap |
| 20:43.55 | secretlondon | no it has 3 levels of cap |
| 20:43.58 | secretlondon | check the small print |
| 20:43.59 | sabinef72 | hi Zoo |
| 20:44.03 | sabinef72 | oops |

| 20:44.11 | z00dax | sabinef72: :) |
| 20:44.14 | secretlondon | I reported it to the advertising standards authority |
| 20:44.22 | z00dax | sabinef72: how are you doing ? still in Paris ? |
| 20:44.29 | secretlondon | and only the "max" allows voip |
| 20:44.36 | sabinef72 | yes waiting the baby who doesn't want to come out ! |

| 20:48.15 | z00dax | sabinef72: still in London - my plans to visit Paris are still on hold |
| 20:48.57 | secretlondon | hmm it's come up as a disk drive - cdrom0 and is spamming syslog with scsi errors |
| 20:50.18 | sabinef72 | z00dax: just let me know when you will come ! |
| 20:50.26 | z00dax | sabinef72: absolutely. |
| 20:51.02 | z00dax | sabinef72: lets see, maybe later this year. a short trip to Paris over a weekend |

| 20:56.32 | secretlondon | yeah it's decided it's a broken scsi cdrom drive called sr1 |
| 20:56.42 | z00dax | :) |
| 20:56.59 | secretlondon | there does appear to be some flash memory on it which contains a windows driver loader |
| 20:57.11 | secretlondon | arg |
| 20:57.22 | aguaithefreak | is TZ_London GMT+1 or GMT+0? |
| 20:57.37 | z00dax | its actually BST |
| 20:58.06 | Discordian | which is GMT+1 |
| 20:58.14 | aguaithefreak | z00dax: BST=GMT+1 |
| 20:58.15 | z00dax | depending on when you check |
| 20:58.21 | aguaithefreak | ? |
| 20:58.27 | Discordian | Until end of this month |

| 21:00.18 | Discordian | Yes DST in the UK ends last weekend in Oct |
| 21:00.21 | secretlondon | dst = summer time (english people won't understand "daylight saving time") |
| 21:01.02 | secretlondon | bst = british summer time |
| 21:01.13 | aguaithefreak | wow.....ok so I sould told my Mom@Taiwan about this |
| 21:01.18 | Discordian | I'm english |
| 21:01.27 | Discordian | But I understand DST |
| 21:01.44 | secretlondon | yeah cos you've been online enough to be able to decode us english |
| 21:01.54 | secretlondon | dst is an americanism |
| 21:02.12 | Discordian | No not really |
| 21:02.37 | Discordian | UK people understand it's DST |
| 21:02.43 | secretlondon | well I'd never heard it until I got online (but then I don't watch a lot of tv) |
| 21:03.33 | Discordian | Goes back to WWII |

| 23:04.35 | secretlondon | it looks like it will be fiddly to set up in linux, but I'm going to try feisty before I go to bed to see if it is better |
| 23:04.44 | secretlondon | if not I will deal with tomorrow |
| 23:04.55 | z00dax | is it a Huawei EC325 ? |
| 23:06.05 | secretlondon | no it's a E270, a new thing |
| 23:06.14 | secretlondon | like an E220 apparently |
| 23:06.35 | z00dax | ah right, the device i have - which i also use in India is a EC325 |
| 23:07.12 | secretlondon | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_Mobile_Connect_Card_driver_for_Linux may work on it (but also may not as the minimal docs say it is untested) |
