| 00:07:44 | brailsmt | i think all my connection issues of late have been caused by my nic... |
| 00:07:51 | brailsmt | it is 3 years old... |
| 00:08:29 | brailsmt | reads his new hub docs... |
| 00:28:31 | brailsmt | hallelujia!!! |
| 00:28:35 | brailsmt | sp? |
| 00:28:37 | brailsmt | :) |
| 00:31:13 | han_solo | hallelujah |
| 00:31:41 | brailsmt | well, I can ping linux from windows, but not vice-versa |
| 04:06:25 | brailsmt | han_solo: do you know anything about windows and networking? |
| 04:06:55 | brailsmt | nevermind |
| 04:07:00 | brailsmt | i solved it :) |
| 04:07:03 | brailsmt | finally! |
| 04:07:36 | brailsmt | now i just need to find a dns... |
| 04:10:09 | brailsmt | dances wildly around the room |
| 04:10:56 | brailsmt | i now have my network working :) |
| 14:06:47 | CosmicPenguin | is back (gone 15:50:08) |
| 18:18:16 | han_solo | I just hooked up a kvm to my box, and now I have vertical shadows or after-images or something |
| 18:19:36 | levi | Weird. |
| 18:20:15 | han_solo | it's an old kvm - maybe it's messing up the signal? |
| 18:20:16 | levi | Argh. I hate waiting for online orders to arrive. |
| 18:20:28 | levi | That'd be my guess. |
| 18:20:47 | levi | Maybe there's some crosstalk on the wires somewhere inside. |
| 18:20:55 | han_solo | i wonder if there's something I can do to minimize it |
| 18:21:07 | levi | Get a new KVM? ;) |
| 18:21:20 | han_solo | pulls his pockets out |
| 18:21:52 | levi | Is it one of those hardware switchers with a big knob, or a software-controlled one with buttons? |
| 18:21:58 | han_solo | hardware |
| 18:22:15 | han_solo | looks like something right out of my dad's office when I was growing up. :) |
| 18:22:15 | levi | You could try dismantling it. |
| 18:22:33 | han_solo | probably would want to unplug things from it first though, right? |
| 18:22:37 | han_solo | ;-) |
| 18:22:46 | levi | Yeah, that'd probably be a good idea. |
| 18:23:07 | levi | Hrm. I ordered a Sharp Zaurus on the 13th, and it's currently in Indiana somewhere at a UPS station. |
| 18:25:03 | Jayce^ | luky.. |
| 18:25:07 | Jayce^ | I want one.. |
| 18:25:10 | Jayce^ | lucky even |
| 18:25:33 | levi | I wish it would hurry up and get here. Unfortunately, the estimated delivery date is the 20th. |
| 18:25:42 | Jayce^ | how much was it? |
| 18:26:11 | levi | It was $330 or so at Amazon, and I added on a 802.11b CF card for another $80 or so. |
| 18:27:45 | levi | I've got stuff set up on my computer at home for development on it. |
| 18:27:51 | han_solo | i couldn't find anything by dismantling. |
| 18:28:10 | han_solo | it looks simple - just wires going from the ports to the switch |
| 18:28:12 | levi | You could try re-soldering all the connections. |
| 18:28:44 | han_solo | although there is one wire soldered to the rim of each monitor port |
| 18:28:57 | han_solo | but it looks intentional |
| 18:29:04 | han_solo | grounding or something? |
| 18:29:12 | levi | Beats me. |
| 18:29:30 | levi | I'm going to go get some lunch. |
| 18:30:19 | han_solo | i guess I'll just have to go back to the old ways of plug and unplug... but at least now I have a quick-switch method for when I'm doing things like rebooting frequently. |
| 18:46:55 | brailsmt | i need some help with samba... and if any of you could help, I would be very grateful |
| 18:46:58 | han_solo | anyone know how to find the postgres admin password? |
| 18:47:01 | han_solo | I'll try brailsmt |
| 18:47:46 | brailsmt | i have the server up and running, and when I try to access it in windows it pops up a login screen, i type in my user and password, and the login reappears... |
| 18:47:59 | brailsmt | i am clueless why... |
| 18:48:41 | brailsmt | in "My Network Places" I see "Samba Server 2.2.5 (Linux_box)" which is correct, but i can't access anything on the server... |
| 18:49:03 | han_solo | can you put your samba.conf somewhere I can see it? |
| 18:49:13 | brailsmt | sure, hang on... |
| 18:49:25 | han_solo | or even reset the postgres root pwd would work |
| 18:51:27 | brailsmt | uninstall, and reinstall :) |
| 18:51:40 | brailsmt | i don't know, but there is a #postgres |
| 18:51:57 | han_solo | i'll check there |
| 18:55:43 | brailsmt | 12.254.137.186/smb.conf |
| 18:57:22 | han_solo | ok, I think you need a different security setting or you need to set up your samba password file |
| 18:59:09 | brailsmt | how do I do that? smbpasswd complains that I don't have the specific user set up |
| 19:01:07 | brailsmt | tada... thx han_solo |
| 19:01:36 | han_solo | what did you do? |
| 19:02:22 | brailsmt | smbpasswd -U michael -a |
| 19:02:41 | brailsmt | which adds the user to the passdb file and prompts for the passwd |
| 19:03:14 | brailsmt | i was expecting something like smbadduser, since smbpasswd models the passwd command... |
| 19:03:57 | han_solo | ponders rebooting |
| 19:04:03 | han_solo | $ uptime |
| 19:04:03 | han_solo | 14:02:20 up 37 days, 19:36, 9 users, load average: 0.77, 0.28, 0.15 |
| 19:04:14 | han_solo | but I just installed a 2.4.19 kernel |
| 19:04:19 | han_solo | but I just can't bring myself to reboot. :) |
| 19:04:23 | brailsmt | :) |
| 19:04:39 | brailsmt | it'll only take 37 days to get the uptime back... |
| 19:04:40 | brailsmt | :) |
| 19:05:37 | CosmicPenguin | enters the competition |
| 19:05:41 | CosmicPenguin | 2:04pm up 69 days, 2:23, 14 users, load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.01 |
| 19:06:19 | Jayce^ | sniffs after having to lose his uptime the other day... |
| 19:06:25 | han_solo | well, since I'm not winning maybe I can bear it |
| 19:06:48 | brailsmt | 2:12pm up 17:34, 0 users, load average: 0.31, 0.32, 0.28 |
| 19:06:50 | brailsmt | take that... |
| 19:06:52 | brailsmt | :) |
| 19:06:59 | han_solo | :) |
| 19:07:29 | CosmicPenguin | I'll bet that your uname -a is better than mine though |
| 19:07:44 | Jayce^ | SysInfo: Linux 2.4.18-6mdk | AMD Athlon(TM) XP2000+ @ 1679MHz | BogoMIPS: 3348.88 | Mem: 165MB/514MB 7[3|||14-------7] | Diskspace: 38GB/50GB 7[3|||||||14---7] | Screen Res: 2880x1200 | Procs: 74 | eth0: In: 356.7MB Out: 190.1MB | Uptime: 3 days, 22 hours 43 minutes | Users: 1 | Load: 0.03, 0.47, 0.59 |
| 19:08:08 | han_solo | so, I want to set up a family news site. Similar in concept to slashdot or something, but something simple. And I don't want to write it. |
| 19:08:17 | han_solo | nor spend lots of time adminning it |
| 19:08:20 | Jayce^ | preference on language? |
| 19:08:28 | han_solo | any suggestions? is slash simple enough for the task? |
| 19:08:33 | Jayce^ | or templating? |
| 19:08:48 | brailsmt | han_solo: use css and eruby |
| 19:09:02 | han_solo | Jayce^: no language - i.e. I'd rather not have to do any hacking on it. I would prefer it use postgres though |
| 19:09:04 | HarleyPig | han_solo: I'll probably get into trouble with Jayce^ but I'd say slash is too complex for a 'simple' site. |
| 19:09:05 | Jayce^ | slash's interface is a bit tougher for the clueless.. (end user) |
| 19:09:11 | brailsmt | eruby = php, but with a real language behind it |
| 19:09:14 | HarleyPig | I like web-app (web-app.org) |
| 19:09:23 | HarleyPig | It's in perl, but easily skinnable. |
| 19:09:28 | Jayce^ | HarleyPig: no, I answered the same.. slash is built for geeks.. end of story.. |
| 19:09:40 | HarleyPig | Just saw it. :> |
| 19:10:17 | HarleyPig | han_solo: sorry, didn't see the db part ... web-app uses db ... early planning stages for mysql. |
| 19:10:59 | han_solo | well, I don't mind too much if it doesn't use postgres. specifically if it doesn't use mysql. :) not that I don't like mysql, I just don't feel like having both db's running |
| 19:11:37 | HarleyPig | :> If you have berkeley's gdbm installed, web-app works. |
| 19:12:41 | HarleyPig | Hey mysql has regexes! |
| 19:13:04 | Jayce^ | umm. you didn't know that? |
| 19:13:10 | Jayce^ | that's been in there for a while.. |
| 19:13:43 | HarleyPig | Nope ... didn't. |
| 19:13:58 | HarleyPig | Just discovered I could do this little gem: select distinct substring(UserName, instr(UserName,'@')+1) as Domains from AccountingLog where UserName not regexp '^[^@]*@[^@]*$' |
| 19:14:15 | HarleyPig | which makes the programming a lot easier. |
| 19:14:40 | HarleyPig | although I could easily do it in the programming side ... you know me ... let the db handle as much work as possible. |
| 19:15:07 | Jayce^ | well that's the kind of filtering that should be done on the db.. select just the info you want.. |
| 19:15:19 | Jayce^ | $ PATH=pretending! /usr/ucb/which sense |
| 19:15:20 | Jayce^ | no sense in pretending |
| 19:15:25 | Jayce^ | hehe.. |
| 19:16:13 | HarleyPig | Where'd you get that? :> |
| 19:16:42 | Jayce^ | the gnu humor page.. some funny stuff.. that was an error message section. |
| 19:16:52 | HarleyPig | $PATH=war which peace |
| 19:18:58 | Jayce^ | ENOTOBACCO Read on an empty pipe |
| 19:19:28 | han_solo | decides to reboot.. then get on his homework |
| 19:19:28 | Jayce^ | EWOULDBNICE The feature you want has not been implemented yet |
| 19:19:35 | Jayce^ | poor han_solo |
| 19:19:43 | Jayce^ | ENOHORSE Mount failed |
| 19:20:53 | HarleyPig | speaking of which ... bash.org is down. |
| 19:20:54 | HarleyPig | dangit. |
| 19:21:12 | Jayce^ | heh.. you stole too much bandwidth :D |
| 19:21:54 | BZFlag | levi: which card did you order? the d-link? I recommend the smc instead. |
| 19:22:09 | BZFlag | the d-link blocks the stylus and the headphone jack. |
| 19:22:46 | Jayce^ | BZFlag: you able to get developers zauruses still? |
| 19:23:20 | BZFlag | Jayce^: nope, they are gone afaik. I have 3 though. |
| 19:23:30 | Jayce^ | <drool> |
| 19:24:30 | Jayce^ | get's desperate for a zaurus.. My prism is nice.. but if I had the chance I would have waited for the sharp.. |
| 19:24:37 | Jayce^ | or something to run linux on.. |
| 19:25:06 | BZFlag | any of the iPAQs would work too, but having a keyboard sure is nice. |
| 19:26:05 | Jayce^ | yeah, and it is already in there too.. which is just cool.. |
| 19:27:06 | Jayce^ | wonders what he'd get on ebay for his prism.. |
| 19:51:07 | levi | BZFlag: No, it was the Linksys, I think. |
| 19:52:19 | BZFlag | ah, that's a bit better. |
| 19:52:36 | BZFlag | though I prefer the smc still. |
| 19:53:04 | levi | Well, if I don't like it, I can always get an adaptor and use the linksys for the tuxscreen. |
| 19:53:14 | Jayce^ | realizes there is no way he'll be able to get enough out of his visor prism to help go towards a zaurus |
| 19:54:57 | levi | Well, anything would help. :) |
| 20:02:38 | Jayce^ | yeah, but not enough to fit the budget right now. |
| 20:05:13 | han_solo | Jayce^: you could give me your prism |
| 20:05:17 | han_solo | that might help |
| 20:05:37 | han_solo | (bec. you'd NEED a pda then, and no sense in buying low-end) |
| 20:06:03 | Jayce^ | hehe... |
| 20:06:13 | Jayce^ | trade you for a zaurus.. staight up.. :D |
| 20:15:53 | BZFlag | I'll trade you an agenda vr3 for your prism. I collect hardware. ;-) |
| 20:16:09 | Jayce^ | hehe. |
| 20:16:54 | levi | BZFlag: I've got a friend here with an Agenda that has started just eating batteries like mad, so he doesn't use it anymore. |
| 20:16:59 | Jayce^ | how good are those things anyways? |
| 20:17:57 | BZFlag | they are slow, and only have serial. 8M flash/16M ram. |
| 20:18:24 | BZFlag | but they do have a consumer IR port so you can use them as a universal remote. ;-) |
| 20:18:58 | Jayce^ | cool. |
| 20:19:03 | BZFlag | levi: I had one that did that. I can't recall if reflashing it fixed it or not. I think it did. |
| 20:19:57 | levi | The universal remote aspect would be cool. It's too bad no other PDAs have enough IR power. |
| 20:20:15 | levi | Maybe this guy would let go of his Agenda for cheap... :) |
| 20:20:31 | Jayce^ | freaky.. random X restart.. |
| 20:24:26 | han_solo | you get a lot of those |
| 20:25:12 | Jayce^ | for thae last two weeks I have had one every other day.. |
| 20:25:22 | Jayce^ | just started 'out of the blue' .... |
| 20:39:58 | BZFlag | http://search-completed.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&query=agenda+vr3&ht=1&from=R10&currdisp=2&itemtimedisp=0&st=2&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&BasicSearch=++ <- looks like $80ish is the going rate for the vr3 |
| 20:40:51 | BZFlag | oh yeah, it's the reverse. 16M flash, 8M ram. |
| 20:49:47 | CosmicPenguin | thats about 30 dollars too much |
| 22:20:35 | CosmicPenguin | is away: Uh, oh.. the weasel got out again... |
