| 00:47.23 | Zelut | Yorokobi: ping |
| 00:51.32 | Yorokobi | Zelut, pong |
| 00:52.21 | Zelut | I'm having trouble with a script doing an embedded if conditional.. care to point out my newb mistakes? |
| 00:52.42 | Yorokobi | sure, wanna pastebin it for me? |
| 00:53.32 | Zelut | yeah.. one sec. |
| 00:57.06 | Zelut | if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then X; if [ $? -e 0 ]; then Y ...it doesn't like the -e. |
| 00:57.32 | Yorokobi | I think its -eq |
| 00:58.24 | Zelut | ok. I got it... for now. |
| 00:58.41 | Zelut | I'm trying to write a script that will automate deployment of the F@H tutorial. |
| 00:58.55 | Zelut | what I was having trouble with was: |
| 01:00.03 | Zelut | create-user; if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then grep user /etc/passwd; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo 'user exists stupid'; else echo 'i give up' |
| 01:02.08 | Zelut | I can't quite figure out a elif.. either 'user exists', 'user created', or 'failed' |
| 01:04.56 | Yorokobi | http://rafb.net/p/gRiC9R54.html <-- seems to work |
| 01:05.33 | Zelut | yeah, I have that much working now but I'd like a third conditional that tells me if it was successful. |
| 01:06.19 | Zelut | it doesn't like my elif |
| 01:07.17 | Zelut | I guess I'm not using it correctly. |
| 01:08.35 | Zelut | I guess it's assumed that it was successful otherwise it just moves on huh.. |
| 01:09.04 | Yorokobi | http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/testconstructs.html |
| 01:09.15 | Yorokobi | There's a section for Else if and elif |
| 01:13.04 | Zelut | the else and else if make sense on that link.. I think I get confused having an embedded if |
| 01:13.13 | Zelut | I don't know if I need to close that if before I do elif or.. |
| 01:13.36 | Yorokobi | elif preceeds else |
| 01:13.42 | Yorokobi | if that helps |
| 01:14.24 | Zelut | think of else as 'everything else'? |
| 01:14.44 | Yorokobi | Probably. That's the way Perl works at any rate |
| 01:19.22 | Zelut | can I do: if [ $? -eq 0 ] && [ -f filename ]; then echo 'success'? |
| 01:20.00 | Yorokobi | I've had mixed success with && ... sometimes -a works |
| 01:20.18 | Zelut | so s/&&/-a ? |
| 01:20.25 | Yorokobi | If I was at work I could look this up easier |
| 01:21.19 | Yorokobi | && and -a are sorta the same, it depends on a few things that I can't remember off the top of my head. Things like quoted variables, [[]] instead of [] for the test, etc. |
| 01:22.04 | Yorokobi | Using the [[ ... ]] test construct, rather than [ ... ] can prevent many logic errors in scripts. For example, the &&, ||, <, and > operators work within a [[ ]] test, despite giving an error within a [ ] construct. |
| 01:22.16 | Yorokobi | The ABS comes to the rescue again |

| 03:16.31 | Zelut | busy day? |
| 03:16.39 | atoponce | i was hiking when you rang |
| 03:16.46 | Zelut | fun |
| 03:16.58 | atoponce | yeah. my wife and i are trying to do it twice / week |
| 03:17.08 | Zelut | good idea |
| 03:17.25 | atoponce | we live close to the mountains, with tons of trails around us, so why not? |
| 03:17.43 | Zelut | have a few minutes to help me solve a bash script need? |
| 03:17.55 | atoponce | our goal, by the end of the summer, is to climb ben lomond peak |
| 03:17.58 | atoponce | sure |
| 03:18.06 | atoponce | really quick, before we start: |
| 03:18.19 | atoponce | netbsd or openbsd? freebsd won't install in virtualbox |
| 03:19.20 | Zelut | I need to copy a file to a destination that will be one or more of CPU[0-4], but I need to find which exist beforehand and pass that value(s) to the cp command. |
| 03:19.27 | Zelut | open |
| 03:19.30 | Zelut | <shrug> |
| 03:20.14 | atoponce | so, your trying to count directories? |
| 03:20.15 | Zelut | I'm trying something like [ -d /directory/ ], but can I pass a list to the [..] ? |
| 03:21.07 | Zelut | almost count directories.. I need to know the number appended on CPU?/ |
| 03:21.15 | atoponce | ok |
| 03:21.16 | atoponce | easy |
| 03:21.29 | atoponce | ls -d */ | wc -l |
| 03:21.37 | atoponce | ls -d CUP*/ | wc -l |
| 03:21.43 | atoponce | s/UP/PU/ |
| 03:22.21 | atoponce | that'll tell you the number of CPU* dirs |
| 03:22.25 | Zelut | that shows me '2', representing CPU1 & CPU2 |
| 03:22.46 | Zelut | that would also show '2' if it were CPU0 and CPU1... |
| 03:22.54 | atoponce | ahh |
| 03:22.56 | atoponce | yes |
| 03:23.11 | atoponce | and you want to copy to the highest number dir? |
| 03:23.53 | Zelut | I know, in the end, I need to get a file into CPU?/, where ? is any existing dir... |
| 03:23.57 | atoponce | so, if CPU0 and CPU1 existed, you want to copy to CUP1? |
| 03:24.08 | atoponce | or both? or what? |
| 03:24.12 | Zelut | all |
| 03:24.28 | atoponce | then: |
| 03:27.19 | atoponce | if [[ -d CPU* ]]: then let num=ls -d CPU*/ | wc -l; while [[ num gt 0]]: do cp file.txt CPU${num}/; let num=num-1; end fi |
| 03:27.24 | atoponce | something to that effect |
| 03:27.48 | atoponce | the basic idea, is if any dir exists, then set a number to the number of dirs that are there |
| 03:28.12 | atoponce | then, go through a while loop, copying your file to each CPU dir |
| 03:28.29 | atoponce | decrease your number, til it hits zero |
| 03:28.32 | Zelut | makes perfect sense. |
| 03:28.34 | atoponce | but i just noticed a bug |
| 03:28.52 | Zelut | is 'let num=...' valid syntax? |
| 03:29.23 | atoponce | yeah |
| 03:29.26 | atoponce | hold on though |
| 03:29.37 | Zelut | wasn't familiar with that.. cool. |
| 03:29.58 | atoponce | if you have CPU14 and CPU321, then there is 2 dirs, so num will equal 2, and try to cp to CPU2 and CPU1 |
| 03:30.02 | atoponce | which don't exist |
| 03:30.15 | Zelut | I don't think it can/will be higher than 8 |
| 03:30.25 | atoponce | well, you get the idea though |
| 03:30.35 | atoponce | and, i'm making it more difficult than it needs to be |
| 03:30.38 | atoponce | do this: |
| 03:30.48 | Zelut | it's good to be thorough. |
| 03:31.05 | atoponce | if [[ -d CPU* ]]; then cp file.txt CPU*; fi |
| 03:31.09 | atoponce | that's all you need a think |
| 03:31.32 | herlo | atoponce: why not just do |
| 03:31.46 | herlo | for i in ls CPU* ? |
| 03:32.16 | herlo | rather than all of that if fi stuff? |
| 03:32.29 | herlo | er rather |
| 03:32.44 | herlo | for i in CPU*/ (slight error) |
| 03:33.19 | Zelut | for i in CPU*/; do cp file.txt CPU*/; done ? |
| 03:33.24 | herlo | right |
| 03:33.35 | herlo | well, almost |
| 03:33.38 | Zelut | didn't know you could use *.. always defined a list or range |
| 03:33.55 | herlo | for i in CPU*/; do cp file.txt CPU${i}/; done |
| 03:34.06 | herlo | Zelut: should be able to |
| 03:34.13 | Zelut | worth a try.. |
| 03:34.19 | atoponce | herlo: but your logic is as flawed as mine |
| 03:34.32 | atoponce | you're just using a for loop |
| 03:34.33 | herlo | atoponce: why? |
| 03:34.50 | Zelut | touch: cannot touch `CPUCPU1//file.txt': No such file or directory |
| 03:34.53 | herlo | did I miss something? |
| 03:35.05 | atoponce | because what if CPU5 and CPU6 exist. your starting with i=0 in your for loop, and trying to copy to CPU0, which doesn't exist |
| 03:35.13 | herlo | Zelut: okay, change the CPU${i} to $i |
| 03:35.22 | herlo | atoponce: nope |
| 03:35.26 | herlo | echo it out |
| 03:35.36 | Zelut | for i in CPU*/; do touch CPU$i/file.txt; done |
| 03:35.39 | Zelut | is what I used.. |
| 03:35.50 | herlo | Zelut: no you don't |
| 03:36.02 | herlo | don't you have the CPU dirs already there? |
| 03:36.10 | Zelut | yes |
| 03:36.16 | herlo | and if you don't, then you just need to add a mkdir command |
| 03:36.26 | herlo | and another variable to count |
| 03:36.38 | Zelut | I already have the directories, I just need to get a file into each existing numbered directory. |
| 03:37.46 | Zelut | but, on each machine the directory numbers may be different so I need to find which exist and use those values. |
| 03:38.24 | herlo | right |
| 03:38.38 | herlo | Zelut: try this: http://pastebin.ca/506667 |
| 03:38.40 | Zelut | I suppose I could do a for loop for a predefined # and just &>/dev/null... |
| 03:38.44 | herlo | It will work for you... |
| 03:39.08 | herlo | unless the directories are in a subdirectory of where you are looking, it will work.... |
| 03:39.23 | herlo | I just pastebinned it so you could see the output... |
| 03:39.43 | Zelut | yeah, looks like that works simply enough. |
| 03:39.52 | herlo | see, I am awesome |
| 03:39.55 | herlo | :) |
| 03:40.00 | herlo | atoponce: ;) |
| 03:40.13 | Zelut | now, because I just *have* to complicate things I need to edit the file with sed to match the dir number :) |
| 03:40.29 | herlo | Zelut: that should be fairly easy |
| 03:40.48 | Zelut | so a line in file.txt needs to match MachineID=$i, where $i is still CPU*. |
| 03:40.49 | herlo | use cut -c |
| 03:41.17 | herlo | if the CPU part is consistent it should be something like this |
| 03:41.24 | atoponce | herlo: congrats |
| 03:41.30 | herlo | cut -c 3 $i |
| 03:41.40 | herlo | er rather |
| 03:41.47 | herlo | echo $i | cut -c3 |
| 03:41.57 | herlo | and you should get the number |
| 03:42.03 | herlo | atoponce: on? |
| 03:43.13 | herlo | Zelut do you need me to test that too? I can |
| 03:43.39 | Zelut | herlo: I don't follow how it's followed on from the previous. |
| 03:44.02 | herlo | Zelut: k, hold on |
| 03:52.18 | herlo | Zelut: you mean like this? http://pastebin.ca/506694 |
| 03:52.25 | atoponce | so, none of the bsd variants work well with virtualbox, so i'm going to try gentoo |
| 03:52.51 | herlo | it took me a minute because I had the do in the wrong place... |
| 03:53.30 | Zelut | ohh, I see what you did but its not *quite* what I need. |
| 03:53.40 | herlo | Zelut: what am I missing? |
| 03:53.52 | herlo | or rather, what *do* you need? |
| 03:53.55 | Zelut | I need to s/find/replace a line within the file to match the directory number it is in.. |
| 03:54.02 | herlo | oh |
| 03:54.17 | herlo | so the $num can still help |
| 03:54.17 | herlo | is it the same file every time? |
| 03:54.24 | Zelut | I thought I mentioned something like sed above but sounded like you had a better solution. |
| 03:54.24 | herlo | or do you have a different file for each dir? |
| 03:54.33 | herlo | yeah, sed will still work |
| 03:54.38 | Zelut | filename is standard between directories. |
| 03:54.55 | herlo | k, hold on. I just need to add something to the file and modify the for loop |
| 03:55.25 | Zelut | most of the contents of filename are standard but one line is similar to CPU=$i, which needs to match the CPU*/ |
| 03:56.12 | herlo | Zelut: what does the line look like in the file? |
| 03:56.18 | herlo | paste it here if that helps |
| 03:57.33 | herlo | Zelut: is CPU=$i what's actually in the file? |
| 03:57.41 | herlo | I'm confused a bit I guess... |
| 03:59.53 | herlo | Zelut: hello? |
| 04:00.14 | Zelut | sorry, nature called |
| 04:00.51 | Zelut | item=$i in the file, yes. |
| 04:01.09 | Zelut | I think I came up with another solution for the CPU*/.. |
| 04:01.51 | herlo | almost there though |
| 04:02.00 | Zelut | DIRECTORY=$(ls -d CPU*/); cp file.txt $DIRECTORY... ? |
| 04:02.40 | Zelut | DIRECTORY=$(ls -d CPU*/); cp file.txt $DIRECTORY/... ? |
| 04:05.58 | herlo | yeah, but what about the sed command? you can't doe that with your example above... |
| 04:06.37 | Zelut | no.. but I realize my solution is really pretty simple compared to some of the others we came up with. |
| 04:08.00 | herlo | but this one works, save the $. Is that really what's in the file? it makes using sed more difficult |
| 04:08.17 | Zelut | what about this to find the number to pass to sed? |
| 04:08.18 | Zelut | INTEGER=$(ls -d CPU*/ | cut -c4) |
| 04:08.35 | herlo | http://pastebin.ca/506705 |
| 04:08.46 | herlo | already got that basically |
| 04:08.57 | herlo | my for loop looks like this: |
| 04:08.58 | Zelut | machineid=1 |
| 04:09.07 | herlo | for i in CPU*; do num=$(echo "$i" | cut -c4 -); cp file.txt $i; sed -i "s/something/$num/g" $i/file.txt; done |
| 04:09.13 | Zelut | that is what it looks for and =1 needs to be $i |
| 04:09.24 | herlo | the only problem I was having was with the $ value |
| 04:09.43 | herlo | so the literal value in the file is $i? |
| 04:09.52 | herlo | can it be something else? |
| 04:10.13 | atoponce | i don't know why i bother trying to install gentoo |
| 04:10.25 | Zelut | atoponce: lol.. I did it the other week and it wasn't so bad. |
| 04:10.32 | Zelut | atoponce: just pay close attention to the docs |
| 04:10.35 | herlo | are you saying that $i from my for loop needs to be the value there?? |
| 04:10.50 | herlo | Zelut: what is the end result you are looking for in the file? |
| 04:10.57 | herlo | should it be |
| 04:10.58 | Zelut | one sec.. |
| 04:11.01 | atoponce | Zelut: i am |
| 04:11.06 | atoponce | and it still sucks |
| 04:11.32 | herlo | CPU=1 or CPU=$i or CPU=CPU1 or CPU1 or what? |
| 04:12.02 | Zelut | http://pastebin.ca/506710 |
| 04:12.06 | Zelut | see if that makes sense |
| 04:12.42 | Zelut | sorry if I haven't explained it very well.. |
| 04:13.06 | herlo | why are you changing it so much, my for loop does it perfectly then... |
| 04:13.32 | herlo | just change the sed to use MACHINEID=$num |
| 04:13.38 | herlo | something like this: |
| 04:13.54 | Zelut | changing it so much? client.cfg needs to say machineid=#, where # is the CPU# it resides in. |
| 04:14.18 | herlo | for i in CPU*; do num=$(echo "$i" | cut -c4 -); cp file.txt $i; sed -i "s/MACHINEID=$i/MACHINEID=$num/g" $i/file.txt |
| 04:14.30 | herlo | replacing file.txt with client.cfg |
| 04:14.37 | herlo | Zelut: it will say that... |
| 04:14.40 | herlo | mine works |
| 04:15.17 | herlo | the $num expression does the exact same thing your $INTEGER thing does |
| 04:15.29 | herlo | does that make sense? |
| 04:15.57 | herlo | yours would work I believe but isnt as elegant |
| 04:16.02 | herlo | nor as clean |
| 04:16.21 | herlo | not that that really matters all that much |
| 04:16.25 | Zelut | maybe I'm looking at an old copy of yours but I don't see how its doing all the same.. |
| 04:16.36 | herlo | I was referring to changing the code away from using stdin |
| 04:16.55 | Zelut | give me your pastebin again? |
| 04:17.00 | herlo | for i in CPU*; do num=$(echo "$i" | cut -c4 -); cp file.txt $i; sed -i "s/MACHINEID=$i/MACHINEID=$num/g" $i/file.txt |
| 04:17.02 | herlo | how abou tthat |
| 04:17.22 | herlo | which is just what I posted a few seconds ago correcting the minor detail I didn't know about with sed |
| 04:17.46 | herlo | and of course, you've got to change file.txt to client.cfg |
| 04:18.31 | herlo | num=$(echo "$i" | cut -c4 -) is equivalent to INTEGER=$(ls -d CPU*/ | cut -c4) |
| 04:18.39 | herlo | as long as mine is within the for loop |
| 04:18.40 | Zelut | for i in CPU*; do num=$(echo "$i" | cut -c4 -); cp client.cfg $i; sed -i "s/mach |
| 04:18.49 | Zelut | ineid=1/machineid=$num/g" $i/client.cfg; done |
| 04:18.56 | herlo | yeah |
| 04:19.06 | herlo | on one line though :) |
| 04:19.20 | Zelut | yeah, copy from the terminal didn't work quite right. :) |
| 04:19.24 | herlo | except that the 1 shouldn't be a 1 |
| 04:19.29 | herlo | it should be a $i right? |
| 04:19.41 | herlo | because it should represent the value from the CPU* directory |
| 04:19.57 | herlo | whatever that value is.... |
| 04:20.29 | Zelut | I'm basing this on an original client.cfg as source which will be =1, and all of this needs to place a copy in each folder and change the value to match. |
| 04:20.39 | atoponce | opensolaris will be interesting. i'll try that |
| 04:20.44 | Zelut | so.. s/1/$num should be valid for my usage.. |
| 04:20.55 | herlo | so the current value in your client.cfg file says 'machineid=1" ? |
| 04:20.59 | Zelut | yes |
| 04:21.01 | herlo | if so, that's even easier |
| 04:21.13 | herlo | and your for loop should work perfectly |
| 04:21.47 | herlo | Zelut: a few reasons why yours is less elegant than mine. Mostly to help you learn programming concepts, if you don't mind me helping? |
| 04:22.02 | Zelut | yeah |
| 04:22.14 | herlo | one, you call ls -d CPU* twice. Why not just put that into a variable once and use it over and over... |
| 04:22.53 | herlo | two, your functions seem to not be loopable. How were you planning on looping through each directory? |
| 04:23.07 | herlo | the for loop I provide will do both of these things |
| 04:23.09 | Zelut | integer=$directory | cut -c4 instead? |
| 04:23.29 | herlo | instead of what? |
| 04:23.47 | Zelut | yeah, I hadn't added any loop function yet, I was just concepting the variable definition method.. |
| 04:23.53 | herlo | see the cool part is that the for loop does that work for you... |
| 04:23.57 | herlo | I see... |
| 04:24.16 | herlo | so, sometimes elegance makes things easier is all I am saying... |
| 04:24.23 | herlo | do you get what my for loop does? |
| 04:24.28 | herlo | that's the big thing |
| 04:24.49 | Zelut | yeah, I use loops now all the time :) |
| 04:25.10 | Zelut | when I did scripting the other day I showed a loop to reboot all class machines.. stuff like that. |
| 04:25.15 | herlo | essentially, I am doing exactly what you were doing, but with much less "me" work and less "cpu cycles" to boot |
| 04:25.20 | Zelut | took a bunch of students by surprise :) |
| 04:25.22 | herlo | Zelut: for cool |
| 04:25.32 | herlo | did you reboot everyones machines? |
| 04:25.35 | herlo | that's awesome! |
| 04:25.35 | Zelut | yeah |
| 04:26.00 | Zelut | for i in {1..20}; do ssh root@station$i "init 6"; done. |
| 04:26.05 | herlo | I don't know if I'll do that, but I like to use it to put files on my students machines and then show them how to use find to locate files that are x minutes old |
| 04:26.21 | herlo | or newer |
| 04:26.28 | Zelut | I also used it to scp two files for regex practice this morning.. |
| 04:26.33 | herlo | right |
| 04:26.50 | herlo | you could also use it to put yum repos on their boxes so they can install crap |
| 04:26.54 | herlo | for loops rock |
| 04:26.57 | Zelut | loops + ssh is nice. |
| 04:27.22 | Zelut | a few students changed their passwords and I must not have done install-pubkey right because I couldn't get in.. |
| 04:27.26 | Zelut | ohh well. |
| 04:27.59 | herlo | for sure, but there is so much more you can do with loops and never leave the box. I was just talking with this guy about procmail scripts that he has written to easily run a badge making process from email. |
| 04:28.04 | herlo | that rocks! |
| 04:28.17 | herlo | I think a for loop would/could help there too maybe |
| 04:28.41 | herlo | I am just glad you work with me now. We can rock and roll on so much good stuff now too! |
| 04:29.03 | herlo | especially next week as we'll all be in the office with no classes to teach, darn :-P |
| 04:29.11 | Zelut | well when I get back into class tomorrow I should be able to finalize this F @ H script.. |
| 04:29.30 | herlo | F @ H ? |
| 04:29.35 | Zelut | so far I've scripted the entire tutorial, installer and this last bit has been manually setting up a pre-config file. |
| 04:29.38 | Zelut | folding @ home. |
| 04:29.43 | herlo | oh, right |
| 04:29.51 | herlo | I thought you'd already posted the tutorial? |
| 04:30.01 | Zelut | ...basically, assuming this script works, I can loop it and deploy folding an a classroom in minutes :) |
| 04:30.04 | herlo | just make sure to mention that I rock! |
| 04:30.18 | herlo | haha! |
| 04:30.19 | Zelut | I did the tutorial, now I'm working on automating wide deployment |
| 04:30.42 | Zelut | which, I think, is pretty bad ass actually. |
| 04:30.54 | herlo | I see. That'd be cool. Think of it the other way too. Have people sign up to participate from you and send them the script to run on their machines as well... |
| 04:31.02 | herlo | I need to read your tutorial still... |
| 04:31.46 | Zelut | I don't see any problem in setting up a classroom and then roll out folding on it once its done.. |
| 04:32.09 | Zelut | might get some questions when it comes to ps, pgrep & top chapters.. but its easy enough :) |
| 04:32.12 | herlo | Nah, shouldn't be a big issue, just as long as the bandwidth doesn't go too high or anything... |
| 04:32.21 | Zelut | I could even remotely stop/start the service with a loop over ssh :) |
| 04:32.32 | herlo | nice the processes down to a lower priority. They'll run all night |
| 04:32.50 | Zelut | folding runs at 19 anyway.. that's the idea. |
| 04:33.01 | herlo | yeah, wondered about that... |
| 04:33.03 | herlo | sontek: thanx |
| 04:33.08 | Zelut | it'll do research when you're not using anything else.. |
| 04:33.29 | Zelut | herlo: can I get you a shirt that says 'bash is my bitch' ;) |
| 04:33.38 | herlo | sontek: I need to chat with Mike Morgan this week about the rest of our business needs but we should have a good solid set of things we need from you guys by Monday.... |
| 04:34.12 | herlo | Zelut: If you do, I get one that says "bash (and Zelut) are my bithces" and yes, I speeled that wrong on purose |
| 04:35.15 | Zelut | I keep waking up at 5:30 and can't get back to sleep. driving me crazy. |
| 04:37.33 | herlo | yah, I know about that.... |
| 04:38.25 | Zelut | not a lot to do in a hotel for three hours before class! |
| 04:38.25 | herlo | goodnighgt all |
| 04:38.32 | herlo | sure there is, watch am idol |
| 04:38.32 | herlo | :) |
| 04:39.01 | sontek | you can learn mono and help me code a site i'm working on |
| 04:39.03 | sontek | that'll pass your time |
| 04:39.23 | Zelut | I'm supposed to be teaching myself python but don't know where to start. |
| 04:39.43 | Zelut | ...so I just end up doing bash scripts as a poor alternative to real programming. |
| 04:40.10 | sontek | Easiest way to learn python is to snag up django or spyce and make a website with it, That way the initial development is all just filling in the blanks to learn the syntax |
| 04:40.29 | sontek | and then you'll slowly start looking around the framework and picking up tricks |
| 04:43.29 | Zelut | I figure I am decent with bash scripts because I've put in time in the bash trenches |
| 04:43.44 | Zelut | ...and after putting in time in python it'll come about as easily. |
| 04:43.58 | Zelut | ...or maybe I'm trying to convince myself I can actually learn it :) |
| 05:02.48 | Zelut | I better get to bed too.. |

| 06:00.01 | Zelut | swap is like windows virtual memory.. |
| 06:00.18 | Zelut | you run out of ram, it writes to swap instead.. |
| 06:36.47 | clutchmm | so in the case of my ps3 which only has 256mb of ram, a bigger swap partition of say 1gig would be like having 1256mb of ram? I am asking this because qemu wants to know how much memory to use for my win2k vm |

| 06:56.21 | sontek | clutchmm: its not _exactly_ like having that much ram |
| 06:56.24 | sontek | swap is much slower |
| 06:56.33 | sontek | because its on your harddrive |
| 06:57.30 | clutchps3 | sontek: even with a SATA drive? I know it's still slower that ram but it's tons faster than IDE |
| 06:58.20 | clutchps3 | I mainly want to know if I can tell qemu to use more than 256mb of memory for my vm |

| 15:42.52 | Yorokobi | I get more VNC connection attempts than SSH on my server ... |
| 15:43.08 | JoeyDay | You do everything you need to over SSH, then? |
| 15:43.13 | JoeyDay | Maybe I just need to learn that. |
| 15:43.22 | Yorokobi | JoeyDay, if you're going to install sshd, you should install FreeNX as well. Remote desktop over SSH |
| 15:43.35 | atoponce | JoeyDay: yeah. i do. ssh is all i need |
| 15:43.38 | Yorokobi | JoeyDay, http://nomachine.com |
| 15:44.12 | atoponce | you can forward X apps over ssh too |
| 15:44.37 | atoponce | albeit a little slow |
| 15:44.46 | Zelut | ssh -X server application |
| 15:44.49 | JoeyDay | But can I do that if the client is a Windoze machine? |
| 15:45.11 | Zelut | JoeyDay: you use windoze machines?! :) |
| 15:45.19 | JoeyDay | :( |
| 15:45.20 | JoeyDay | Yeah. |
| 15:45.58 | atoponce | JoeyDay: yes. you just need a X client on the windows box |
| 15:46.07 | JoeyDay | I'm setting up a server with Ubuntu, but the two primary machines in my apartment are Windoze boxes. |
| 15:46.29 | JoeyDay | Where can I get an X client for a Windows box? |
| 15:47.04 | atoponce | JoeyDay: http://x.cygwin.com/ should suffice |
| 15:47.20 | JoeyDay | Cygwin. I've heard of that. |
| 15:48.08 | atoponce | cygwin is good stuff. brings unix-like functionality to windows boxen |
| 15:49.12 | JoeyDay | Okay, cool, SSH is working. |
| 15:49.56 | sontek | Zelut: is there a reason you are doing su - instead of sudo? |
| 15:50.08 | JoeyDay | atoponce: How do I change that port number? |
| 15:50.10 | sontek | Zelut: because if you use sudo you can add tee with it command | sudo tee |
| 15:50.19 | atoponce | JoeyDay: in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config |
| 15:50.38 | atoponce | then restart the ssh server with 'sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart' |
| 15:51.25 | Zelut | http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/07/05/24/1222247.shtml |
| 15:51.27 | JoeyDay | And that'll be a permanent change. I don't have to do that everytime I restart the box? |
| 15:51.38 | atoponce | JoeyDay: yeah. permament |
| 15:51.49 | atoponce | once is all it takes |
| 15:57.40 | JoeyDay | Shoot, I forgot how to mount a drive. |
| 15:58.04 | JoeyDay | And I might need to format this drive, too. I just dropped a 500 GB drive in here. |
| 15:58.28 | atoponce | sudo mount /dev/<drive> /target/dir |
| 16:00.42 | JoeyDay | It'll be one of these sda's right? |
| 16:01.02 | atoponce | if it's SATA, probably. you can check with 'sudo fdisk -l' |
| 16:01.15 | JoeyDay | It's actually IDE. |
| 16:01.41 | atoponce | then it'll be an hd* |
| 16:01.42 | JoeyDay | Ah, fdisk. I'm slowly starting to remember. You guys are awesome to help me out. I'm a total n00b. |
| 16:01.56 | atoponce | you need to hang out here more often. :) |
| 16:03.07 | JoeyDay | Hm, I have a lot of sd's and no hd's. |
| 16:03.31 | JoeyDay | fdisk shows that the drive I'm looking for (the 500 GB one) is called /dev/sdb |
| 16:03.39 | clutchmm | wow..... talk about head first |
| 16:04.16 | JoeyDay | And it "doesn't contain a valid partition table" |
| 16:05.53 | clutchmm | ok, is the compiler you use doing to affect the program in different ways? i.e. a cell BE compiler will get the program to run smoother or at all on the cell processor |
| 16:07.34 | Zelut | sontek: I'm doing it on a RHEL machine.. |
| 16:07.57 | sontek | Zelut: RHEL has sudo |
| 16:08.05 | sontek | Zelut: visudo and configure it properly |
| 16:08.17 | sontek | just uncomment one line |
| 16:08.22 | Yorokobi | That's outside the scope of the script |
| 16:08.59 | Yorokobi | Zelut, is the script started by the user or root? |
| 16:09.15 | atoponce | JoeyDay: but it's plugged in via ide? |
| 16:09.34 | Yorokobi | atoponce, IIRC, feisty calls all HDDs /dev/sd* |
| 16:09.40 | Yorokobi | regardless of type |
| 16:09.40 | sontek | if its started by root he wouldn't need the su - ;) |
| 16:09.41 | Zelut | Yorokobi: script is started by root, needs change users and start a second script as that user. |
| 16:09.41 | clutchmm | anyone know? |
| 16:10.11 | Zelut | the script *needs* to be run as that user is the tricky thing.. I tried suid but that didn't quite do it either.. |
| 16:10.11 | sontek | Zelut: if its started with root, I think in RHEL root has sudo ability |
| 16:10.38 | JoeyDay | atoponce: Yeah, weird. |
| 16:11.00 | JoeyDay | atoponce: Well, I think it's plugged in via IDE. It's an IDE drive, but the motherboard could be doing something weird. |
| 16:11.35 | Yorokobi | Zelut, su - folding -c command |
| 16:12.20 | atoponce | brb |
| 16:12.59 | herlo | Zelut: why didn't SUID work? |
| 16:13.26 | herlo | I think you may just need to exploit SUID a bit more |
| 16:41.24 | JoeyDay | Hm, what's this lost+found thing? |
| 16:41.43 | baens | place where lost files go :) |
| 16:41.54 | baens | every harddrive root is there |
| 16:42.04 | baens | er ever harddrive root has one there... |
| 16:45.38 | clutchmm | I know this is probably way out of my league but, I just downloaded IBM's octopiler which is a compiler designed to compile programs completely for the 7 spe's of the cell BE processor, I would like to know if compiling ubuntu with the octopiler will make it different and run smother on ps3 that the standard compiler that is used? |
| 16:47.56 | clutchmm | *than the standard compiler that is used? |

| 16:55.00 | clutchmm | am I even in the ballpark with that idea? |
| 16:55.43 | baens | clutchmm: maybe....i haven't heard if the octopiler working on compiling the linux kernel |
| 16:57.30 | clutchmm | IBM says they are using it to compile fedora core 5 and it should compile anything on powerpc i386 and 64 |
| 16:58.01 | clutchmm | so how do I test it on the ubuntu kernel? |
| 16:58.43 | baens | clutchmm: well download the kernel and try to compile that with the octopiler |
| 16:59.17 | clutchmm | k |
| 17:02.05 | clutchmm | is the ppu the main processor and the spu a graphics processor? |
| 17:02.26 | Zelut | herlo: not sure.. the F @ H script creates files and folders in the running user directory, but it still created them in /root even after suid. |
| 17:02.47 | baens | clutchmm: something like that.....but with the cell there should be serveral of them |
| 17:04.07 | clutchmm | well, it says that 2 invocations create C/C++ code for the ppu and 2 invocations create C/C++ code for the spu, also do I want C or C++? |
| 17:04.37 | Zelut | Yorokobi: su - folding -c /bin/bash ./finstall still b0rks.. |
| 17:05.07 | Yorokobi | su - folding -c "cd /var/folding; /bin/bash /var/folding/finstall" |
| 17:06.01 | baens | clutchmm: aaah, interesting, well you will need C code, and from my searchs so far, I can't find anything saying that they compiled a kernel...but programs they have trie |
| 17:07.01 | clutchmm | baens: http://domino.research.ibm.com/comm/research_projects.nsf/pages/cellcompiler.index.html |
| 17:07.47 | Yorokobi | clutchmm, what are you going to do if you brick your PS3? |
| 17:07.50 | baens | clutchmm: yup i've been reading it, no easy to use tutorial yet thou :) |
| 17:09.28 | Yorokobi | $600 is a lot of money for a coffee table centerpiece ... |
| 17:09.39 | clutchmm | Yorokobi: simple, I'll take it to a game store and trade it in for credit, then go back later and buy another one and pay the difference :) |
| 17:10.07 | Yorokobi | Game stores generally test hardware before agreeing to buy it |
| 17:10.42 | Yorokobi | ... unless the store is run by idiots |
| 17:11.26 | clutchmm | plus, unless I destroy the processor the worst I think I could do is crap out my linux partition since the game partition and most hardware is locked out from linux |
| 17:11.56 | clutchmm | and the EB store in provo has never tested a system I have sold them |
| 17:11.58 | Yorokobi | ah, so it won't be a brick if you hose Linux on it? |
| 17:12.38 | clutchmm | Yorokobi: nope, I can't even steal more hdd space from the xmb |
| 17:12.59 | Yorokobi | ah, okay. |
| 17:13.50 | clutchmm | in fact, if I totally hose linux, I can reformat the linux 10 gig partition from the xmb |
| 17:14.55 | baens | if I remember correctly...sony spent a lot of time to make sure people couldn't brick a system with linux on it |
| 17:15.16 | clutchmm | baens: by the way, I almost got win2k installed with qemu, but during the install I got an error from the windows installer that some file was corrupt |
| 17:15.41 | baens | clutchmm: doh! well it is possible to install it, did you use the -win2k flag in qemu? |
| 17:16.00 | findlay | http://www.dell.com/open |
| 17:17.00 | baens | i wonder how dell's first day with ubuntu will go.... |
| 17:17.00 | clutchmm | baens: yes I did |
| 17:17.01 | baens | clutchmm: cool, well i guess try try again, it will work sooner or later :) |
| 17:17.18 | clutchmm | baens: I think there are a couple of scratches on my win2k install disk |
| 17:17.35 | baens | clutchmm: and for this kernel stuff, the new kernels sound like the start to support it so it should work somewhere |
| 17:17.36 | baens | clutchmm: aah that doesn't help |
| 17:17.55 | baens | clutchmm: you should probably make a iso on your laptop before they get worse |
| 17:18.28 | clutchmm | if, it's already messed up, won't the .iso be messed up? |
| 17:19.00 | baens | didn't you just install it on your laptop a little while ago? |
| 17:19.10 | clutchmm | my brother has a good win2k disk, I'll just burn his :) |
| 17:19.16 | baens | even better |
| 17:19.36 | clutchmm | baens: yeah, into a vm |
| 17:20.43 | clutchmm | qemu says it can use a vmware vm file, if I copy my win2k vm file to a usb hdd can't I run it from there? |
| 17:21.26 | baens | yes, but you also need to copy the file that has the scratch space for the vm |
| 17:22.07 | baens | which you can find in the vm file where that file is located |
| 17:23.02 | clutchmm | cool, anyway, I *should* be able to compile a new ubuntu kernel from the feisty source for the cell with octopiler right? |
| 17:23.23 | baens | you can try yes, i think it is possible |
| 17:23.37 | baens | the performence gain i don't know thou....no document on the speed up in kernel |
| 17:23.57 | baens | however, if it doesnt work with the octopiler...if you enable cell support in the kernel itself it should help too |
| 17:24.50 | Zelut | ~w00t |
| 17:24.59 | jbot | w00t!!! |
| 17:25.00 | clutchmm | from what I read over 4 hours last night, the current feisty ppc install is only using 1 spe and octopiler should recompile it to use all 7 spes |
| 17:25.00 | Zelut | it works! |
| 17:25.38 | baens | clutchmm: cool, ya that sounds right because gcc isn't optimize for the cell *yet* they are working for support but the gcc devs are sllloowww |
| 17:25.53 | Zelut | I can now deploy folding at home across a network for any machines I have ssh root access to, it'll create a folding client for each processor, start / stop as a service and begin at boot. |
| 17:26.21 | Zelut | ..also running as a dedicated system user. |
| 17:26.49 | clutchmm | baens: do I have to compile a new kernel to enable cell support? and, when I do, can I just copy the new kernel into my install? or do I need to reinstall? |
| 17:27.37 | baens | clutchmm: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu |
| 17:27.48 | clutchmm | what is the tar **** for tar.gz? |
| 17:27.57 | Yorokobi | vxzf |
| 17:27.59 | baens | clutchmm: follow that, but instead of 2.6.18 do 2.6.21.2 |
| 17:30.37 | clutchmm | crappy, the .tar.gz was full of .rpm files..... what is the alien command to change .rpm to .deb? |

| 17:38.29 | baens | clutchmm: ooo, ya it probably won't install |
| 17:38.42 | baens | clutchmm: it was built on a powerpc (the ps3) and wont work on amd or intel machines |
| 17:39.07 | clutchmm | ok, so I'll just transfer the files to my ps3 then |

| 18:27.51 | baens | clutchmm: thats interesting |
| 18:28.36 | clutchmm | baens: yup, I'm confused |
| 18:28.39 | baens | clutchmm: that should work because you are a ppc64... |
| 18:29.50 | baens | clutchmm: where did you download those from? |
| 18:30.06 | clutchmm | yeah it should, but I had that problem with the vmware player also, the i386 version and the 64 bit version both tell me wrong architecture |
| 18:30.52 | clutchmm | http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/cellcompiler/download |
| 18:31.00 | baens | ya you aren't a i386 architecture |
| 18:31.24 | clutchmm | I know, uname -r says powerpc64 |
| 18:31.44 | baens | are you just trying to install the xlcpp.0.8.2.ppc64? |
| 18:32.29 | clutchmm | baens: yes |
| 18:32.33 | baens | clutchmm: hm |
| 18:33.11 | clutchmm | and all I did was try to convert it with alien |
| 18:36.50 | baens | clutchmm: so somewhere you need to make it say powerpc instead of ppc64 or visa-versa |
| 18:37.01 | baens | clutchmm: and where that is im trying to find out |
| 18:37.17 | clutchps3 | ok |
| 18:37.42 | baens | clutchps3: take a look in the .deb and try to find a line that says Architecture: |
| 18:39.47 | clutchps3 | baens: xlc.cmp-8.2.0-20.ppc64.rpm didn't make a .deb file it made a folder with 2 other folders in it |
| 18:40.52 | baens | hm |
| 18:41.33 | clutchps3 | should I try just renaming it to ppc from ppc64? |
| 18:41.40 | baens | clutchps3: k try this `alien -i packge.rpm` |
| 18:43.02 | JoeyDay | How difficult is FTP to set up? |
| 18:43.21 | JoeyDay | If I set up FTP for a user will that user only have access to their home folder? |
| 18:43.38 | JoeyDay | I want to set up an FTP account I can use to access my second hard drive. |
| 18:44.15 | baens | not to bad |
| 18:44.19 | clutchps3 | dpkg-gencontrol: error: current build architecture powerpc does not appear in package's list (ppc64) |
| 18:44.31 | baens | clutchps3: dah! |
| 18:44.45 | baens | JoeyDay: use pure-ftpd if you want a good FTP server |
| 18:44.50 | baens | JoeyDay: very secure too |
| 18:45.24 | Yorokobi | JoeyDay, the ssh server comes with sftp (ssh ftp) |
| 18:45.54 | JoeyDay | Yorokobi: Oh, so I might already be able to do this? |
| 18:46.22 | Yorokobi | JoeyDay, not with (m)any traditional FTP client, but most SSH clients have sftp/scp options |
| 18:47.04 | baens | clutchps3: go ahead and try to conver the ppc64 to powerpc |
| 18:48.24 | JoeyDay | Hm, I'm using SyncBack, and it looks like it won't do sftp. I'll have to either find another backup solution or install pure-ftpd. |
| 18:48.53 | clutchps3 | baens: I msged you |
| 18:48.55 | JoeyDay | I'm trying to come up with a way to backup my Windoze drive to the new 500 Gigger on my Ubuntu server. |
| 18:49.20 | JoeyDay | I'm using a commercial product to mount a Windows drive over an sftp connection, which is working fine for now. |
| 18:49.58 | JoeyDay | So, I have a U: drive on my Windows box that is really my Ubuntu server file system being accessed over sftp. |
| 18:50.47 | JoeyDay | My backup program of course simply treats this like any other drive and is working well. I'm just worried about overhead in this case. The backup program can also do FTP. Do you think this will be better, or is what I've got fine? |
| 18:51.10 | Yorokobi | JoeyDay, I'd stick with what you have. |
| 18:51.42 | JoeyDay | Yorokobi: Cool, I think I will. It seems to be working pretty well, and pretty fast. Thanks for your help. |
| 18:52.23 | JoeyDay | I guess my biggest concern is that this SftpDrive program cost me $40 and I don't want to spend that $40 again to put it on my wife's laptop. |
| 18:53.06 | JoeyDay | I think I'd like to switch to a completely free way of doing things end-to-end. I'm using the free version of SyncBack for the backing up. If it was working over FTP I could take the middle man (SftpDrive) out of the picture. |
| 18:53.13 | Yorokobi | JoeyDay, samba or sshfs may be viable alternatives. Or even bacula ... |
| 18:55.27 | JoeyDay | Samba, huh? How hard is it to get that up and running under Ubuntu? Is it as easy as installing the package? |
| 18:55.29 | Yorokobi | It takes a bit more than just installing the packages. |
| 18:55.30 | JoeyDay | Well, maybe I should quit bugging you with questions and Google it. :) |
| 18:55.31 | Yorokobi | JoeyDay, check out wiki.ubuntu.com for samba tutorials |
| 18:55.32 | JoeyDay | Well, I think what I've got will work short-term. I'll definitely look into Samba or sshfs for a long-term solution. |
| 18:55.41 | JoeyDay | Thanks, Yorokobi. You've been very helpful. |
| 18:56.45 | Yorokobi | http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/508?ref=rss <-- For all you WordPress users. |
| 18:56.53 | Yorokobi | JoeyDay, np. |
| 19:01.05 | baens | wordpress is scary to use... atleast if you want security |
| 19:08.45 | Zelut | man I update first time I see a patch released. |
| 19:09.01 | Zelut | baens: atoponce even wrote a script that'd update a range of domains on a vhost setup.. |
| 19:09.38 | baens | Zelut: lol cool, ive never used it personally but i see all the security updates it gets |
| 19:10.19 | clutchps3 | ~paste |
| 19:10.24 | jbot | well, paste is http://rafb.net/paste/ |
| 19:11.10 | atoponce | yeah. the script is fairly decent. i have the wordpress blog in my rss, and when i see a new update come through, i run the script before doing anything |
| 19:11.26 | atoponce | the new version isn't live for an hour before all my blogs are updated |
| 19:14.51 | Zelut | I wonder if that script would work for my bluehost hosted sites... |
| 19:33.25 | sontek | herlo: ping!! |
| 19:34.49 | JoeyDay | atoponce: Where's the script at? |
| 19:34.57 | JoeyDay | I think I remember reading your blog post about it. |
| 19:35.59 | JoeyDay | Ah, found it: http://www.pthree.org/2007/03/02/wordpress-upgrade-script/ |
| 19:36.10 | herlo | sontek: pong |
| 19:36.32 | atoponce | JoeyDay: there is a bug, that i need to warn you about |
| 19:36.35 | clutchmm | well, that makes no sense..... alien says ppc64 isn't supported on 4 of the 6 .rpm packages but it unpacks them and the unpacked executable files run just fine... I thought alien wasn't an archive program? |
| 19:36.49 | JoeyDay | atoponce: Oh? |
| 19:36.55 | atoponce | when creating a backup dir, it creates it based on the time and date |
| 19:37.07 | sontek | herlo: hii, is there a way to yum search and get an abridged version? |
| 19:37.17 | sontek | herlo: I just want packagename, version, and if its installed |
| 19:37.22 | herlo | sontek: yeah, use yum list |
| 19:37.25 | atoponce | if the hour or minute is a single digit, then it tries to create 2 backup dirs, and fails |
| 19:37.50 | herlo | sontek: just added you to my buddy list |
| 19:37.58 | sontek | herlo: thanks =) |
| 19:38.05 | herlo | sontek: yum list uses regex too |
| 19:38.12 | herlo | which makes life great |
| 19:38.18 | atoponce | like, may 24, 2007 1:34 *should* create the dir 200705240137 but rather it tries to create 20070524 137 |
| 19:38.24 | atoponce | in otherwords, 2 dirs |
| 19:38.29 | sontek | herlo: now I feel important |
| 19:38.29 | atoponce | make sense? |
| 19:38.36 | atoponce | i haven't gotten around to fixing it yet |
| 19:38.36 | herlo | sontek: you should |
| 19:38.50 | herlo | sontek: but not because you know me |
| 19:39.01 | herlo | but rather because you know me and because I rock! |
| 19:39.05 | herlo | :-D |
| 19:39.22 | herlo | :-J |
| 19:40.00 | JoeyDay | atoponce: So, basically I need to run it at a time when the hour and minute are both double digits? |
| 19:40.04 | sontek | herlo: you only rock at bash! |
| 19:40.10 | sontek | herlo: finish bashtorrent, slacker |
| 19:40.18 | atoponce | JoeyDay: :) |
| 19:41.02 | JoeyDay | Does bash use the same timestamp code-letters as php? |
| 19:41.09 | atoponce | i think bash uses 24-hour, so anytime afer 9:59am. the minute can be single, just not the hour |
| 19:41.56 | JoeyDay | There's a spot where you're setting back_ts=$(date +%m%d%Y%k%M%S) |
| 19:42.00 | atoponce | hold on. i think i may be able to fix it |
| 19:42.17 | JoeyDay | If those codes are the same as php codes, you should change the time to %H%i%s |
| 19:42.35 | JoeyDay | Why can't you just grab a unix timestamp? |
| 19:42.45 | herlo | sontek: I need to spend some time figuring out filtering for bashtorrent |
| 19:42.50 | herlo | that's all thats left |
| 19:42.55 | JoeyDay | Like, if you did just $(date) would it return the standard Unix timestamp? |
| 19:42.55 | sontek | herlo: yaay |
| 19:43.00 | herlo | but I've been working on UTOS soo much |
| 19:43.02 | sontek | herlo: azureus takes up to many resources |
| 19:43.15 | herlo | sontek: for sure. You should be using rtorrent |
| 19:43.24 | atoponce | Thu May 24 13:43:03 MDT 2007 |
| 19:43.25 | herlo | or utorrent if you use windows |
| 19:43.32 | sontek | herlo: azureus has great plugins for rss feeds/regex searches |
| 19:43.33 | atoponce | ^^ that is what $(date) will return |
| 19:43.39 | herlo | sontek: I know |
| 19:43.48 | herlo | but I am trying to write everythign with bash |
| 19:43.51 | atoponce | epoch is a good idea though, and the answer to the bug |
| 19:43.53 | herlo | :-J |
| 19:43.58 | sontek | herlo: I love utorrent but my tv downloads are on my linux server, utorrent isn't helpful :P |
| 19:44.28 | sontek | herlo: yeah, but thats the reason I use it, if rtorrent had all the features, i'd use it :P |
| 19:44.59 | atoponce | 1180035879 |
| 19:45.02 | atoponce | 1180035881 |
| 19:45.02 | atoponce | 1180035882 |
| 19:45.03 | atoponce | 1180035882 |
| 19:45.06 | atoponce | 1180035885 |
| 19:45.09 | atoponce | works |
| 19:45.20 | atoponce | i'll edit that. perfect |
| 19:45.23 | atoponce | JoeyDay: thx |
| 19:45.27 | JoeyDay | Are you patching it on the blog entry, then? |
| 19:45.30 | atoponce | yeah |
| 19:45.36 | atoponce | give me a minute |
| 19:48.07 | atoponce | that brings up another 'bug' although it's not really |
| 19:48.17 | herlo | sontek: you can run utorrent on linux via wine. I've done it |
| 19:48.30 | herlo | its a little slow app wise but the downloads work fine |
| 19:51.17 | JoeyDay | atoponce: Another bug? |
| 19:51.25 | Zelut | wine is a crutch |
| 19:51.38 | herlo | Zelut: no, I like wine |
| 19:52.05 | herlo | its very tasty, especially riesling |
| 19:55.53 | atoponce | JoeyDay: fixed. |
| 19:55.58 | atoponce | ready to roll |
| 19:56.10 | atoponce | well, it wasn't a 'bug' as much as a missing feature |
| 19:56.46 | atoponce | it wget's the latest version for every site, so, there would be latest.tar.gz latest.tar.gz.1 latest.tar.gz.2, etc. |
| 19:57.00 | atoponce | so, i just changed it so there is only latest.tar.gz, regardless |
| 19:57.48 | JoeyDay | Cool. |
| 19:58.03 | JoeyDay | I think I'll use that today to get my blog up to the latest. |
| 19:58.09 | JoeyDay | What is it now, 2.2? |
| 19:59.57 | atoponce | yeah |
| 20:00.38 | atoponce | if you have any feedback, or find a bug, let me know |
| 20:00.45 | atoponce | it's pretty safe, though |
| 20:00.59 | atoponce | i've been running it ever since on 4 blogs, and no problems |
| 20:01.35 | atoponce | there is a feature that needs to be added though |
| 20:02.13 | atoponce | but i'll get to that another time |
| 20:04.30 | sontek | herlo: I know, but I if I have to choose between installing java or wine on my server, java will always win =) |
| 20:04.40 | sontek | herlo: I don't mind wine on my laptop |
| 20:05.54 | herlo | sontek: makes sense... |
| 20:08.03 | sontek | herlo: I used to be a fan of TorrentFlux but i've moved away from it lately |
| 20:08.36 | sontek | me and some friends had made a simple/better version of torrentflux called torrentvolve but none of us are maintaining it anymore |
| 20:11.38 | sontek | but i'll move to bashtorrent if it ever gets completed! |
| 20:18.07 | herlo | sontek: we should make a plugin for libtorrent actually |
| 20:18.54 | herlo | nope, c++ |
| 20:19.36 | sontek | yeah libtorrent is C++ |
| 20:19.41 | sontek | but it wouldn't be bad |
| 20:19.48 | sontek | theres probably python bindings |
| 20:20.03 | sontek | original bittorrent is python |
| 20:21.02 | herlo | yeah, probably. and I knew that about bittorrent and bittornado |
| 20:22.20 | sontek | if we write it we need to write it as a service that listens for commands |
| 20:22.26 | sontek | so then we can hook multiple interfaces to it |
| 20:22.43 | sontek | be able to connect either our gtk app or webapp to the running service |

| 20:33.47 | herlo | redbeard2: true that. You can already make rtorrent work as a service if you want... |
| 20:34.01 | redbeard2 | rtorrent? huh? |
| 20:34.01 | herlo | sontek: so maybe a front end is all we really need |
| 20:34.09 | herlo | redbeard2: sorry, wrong person |
| 20:34.14 | redbeard2 | whew! |
| 20:34.31 | sontek | herlo: yeah, same for azureus, but it'd be nice to use libtorrent |
| 20:34.39 | sontek | herlo: what does rtorrent use? |
| 20:34.42 | herlo | sontek: true |
| 20:34.47 | herlo | sontek: libtorrent |
| 20:35.04 | herlo | sontek: rtorrent was what libtorrent was designed for |
| 20:36.28 | sontek | w00t |
| 20:38.04 | herlo | :) |
| 20:38.21 | herlo | sontek: I'll probably do some work on bashtorrent tonight and see how far I get |
| 20:38.36 | herlo | sontek: no matter how far I get, I'll put the results up on my site |

| 21:10.28 | JoeyDay | I think I wanna move it to my second drive. |
| 21:10.59 | JoeyDay | Hm, maybe I should consult the wiki first; there's probably a good tutorial there. |
| 21:17.55 | clutchps3 | alright this is getting stupid.... I keep getting this when I use alien on the .rpm lib files for the IBM octocompiler and now I'm getting the same thing running "make menuconfig": make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o] Error 1 make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2. So what the hell is wrong? |
| 21:18.28 | Yorokobi | clutchps3, do you have the ncurses5-dev package installed? |
| 21:18.41 | Yorokobi | (or is it libncurses5-dev ??) |
| 21:19.35 | clutchmm | I don't know.... I just went outside to smoke before my head pops all over the screen |
| 21:20.20 | Yorokobi | clutchmm, yeah, its libncurses5-dev |
| 21:20.36 | clutchmm | it's alot of fun but man it's frustrating when you are trying to hurry and get it done before you leave with people pushing you to leave |
| 21:20.57 | Yorokobi | there's also a 64bit version ... lib64ncurses5-dev |
| 21:21.53 | clutchmm | I thing 64bit is what I need, I also kept getting a (ppc64) error right before that one |
| 21:23.40 | clutchmm | do I want the -dev package since I am compiling a new kernel? |
| 21:24.21 | Yorokobi | make menuconfig wants the -dev package |
