| 00:38.21 | Maquis | ok, so, if cdrecord doesn't work on kernel 2.6, what should i use instead??? |
| 00:39.06 | Maquis | i tried emerging something else, but lame kept failing... |
| 00:41.15 | Maquis | cdrecord keeps telling me it doesn't play nicely with any kernels over 2.5, and tells me to run cdrecord -scanbus (and cdrecord -scanbus gives the same error) |
| 00:43.06 | byronc | run it as root |
| 00:44.56 | Maquis | byronc, still won't run |

| 00:45.38 | Maquis | (that was what i got when running 'cdrecord -scanbus' as root |
| 00:49.34 | sjansen | I'd try re-emerging cdrecord. |

| 01:15.22 | h3k | fellow sllug members? |
| 01:16.46 | JoshH | hi there |
| 01:17.29 | h3k | << new member |
| 01:18.25 | h3k | so |
| 01:18.37 | h3k | just as a topic of conversation and out of curiosity |
| 01:18.41 | h3k | what distros you using? |
| 01:19.15 | wps | anyone experienced setting up mailman with postfix (alias, virtuals, the whole bit) |
| 01:19.21 | wps | the UPHPU is in need of help |
| 01:20.44 | wps | it's all installed and running |
| 01:20.52 | wps | the mail just isn't getting to mailman |
| 01:21.02 | h3k | that is practically the only thing i havent done |
| 01:21.49 | wps | we really need some help if there is anyone out there willing |
| 01:22.29 | h3k | i'm willing, i just dont know how |
| 01:22.31 | h3k | :) |
| 01:22.38 | wps | thanks, h3k |
| 01:23.02 | h3k | so your problem is that the mail isnt being forwarded to the users, or the machines mail management system? |
| 01:23.17 | wps | the mail gets to the box... but isn't being sent into mailman |
| 01:23.22 | h3k | hmmm |
| 01:23.28 | wps | mailman = mailing list system |
| 01:23.34 | h3k | ic |
| 01:23.42 | wps | it's a problem with aliases / virtual servers |
| 01:23.46 | wps | (i think) |
| 01:24.26 | h3k | email discussion lists huh |
| 01:27.01 | h3k | he quits when i find a possible solution |
| 01:27.02 | h3k | :) |
| 01:27.50 | h3k | you guys really aren't that talkative |
| 01:28.11 | Maquis | h3k, gentoo |
| 01:28.21 | h3k | gentoo is ok |
| 01:28.22 | Maquis | we're reasonably talkative during the day |
| 01:28.26 | h3k | i ran it for a long while |
| 01:28.30 | h3k | now i run my own distro though |
| 01:28.32 | Maquis | right now i'm trying to do cs324 hw |
| 01:28.35 | Maquis | cool! |
| 01:28.40 | h3k | i call it |
| 01:28.40 | h3k | h3knix |
| 01:28.49 | Maquis | i'm impresed by anyone who runs their own distro |
| 01:28.52 | h3k | i figure, i am the sole developer, why not name it after my own handle |
| 01:28.59 | Maquis | actually, i'm impressed, not impresed... |
| 01:29.04 | h3k | Maquis, i built the package management system for it too |
| 01:29.08 | Maquis | cool! |
| 01:29.13 | h3k | and a custom bsd like init |
| 01:29.17 | Maquis | you're way beyond me :) |
| 01:29.23 | h3k | and multiple tools to do simple things |
| 01:29.29 | h3k | i have branched it off into 2 other versions also |
| 01:29.30 | Maquis | so, how does the package management system work? |
| 01:29.34 | h3k | hehe |
| 01:29.36 | h3k | wanna see a demo |
| 01:29.39 | h3k | i did a screen'vid of it |
| 01:29.47 | h3k | http://vietnow.net:81/h3k/h3knix.html |
| 01:29.49 | h3k | that is the site |

| 01:29.59 | h3k | that is the screen video's demo |
| 01:30.03 | Maquis | nice! |
| 01:30.08 | h3k | makecap and getcap is all i have so far |
| 01:30.12 | h3k | built all this myself mind you |
| 01:30.13 | h3k | using bash mostly |
| 01:30.14 | h3k | lol |
| 01:30.18 | Maquis | i'll check those out when i get back... i have to run to fhe :) |
| 01:30.27 | h3k | ok dokey |
| 01:31.23 | Maquis | :) |
| 01:31.31 | Maquis | looks cool so far though! |
| 01:31.38 | h3k | it is relatively complicated for newbies to install |
| 01:31.46 | h3k | but anyone who understands the gentoo install can do it |
| 01:31.50 | Maquis | :) |
| 01:32.03 | Maquis | "understands" the gentoo install??? or can do the gentoo install? :) |
| 01:32.08 | h3k | yes, i do claim to be the fastest distro i have tried |
| 01:32.11 | h3k | Maquis, either one |
| 01:32.31 | h3k | i have done gentoo stage 1, arch, slackware, mdk, suse, some other smaller titles |
| 01:32.34 | h3k | then i did my own |
| 01:32.49 | h3k | based it on the motto, fast, small, functional |
| 01:32.49 | h3k | :_ |
| 01:33.39 | h3k | although the full distro is 388mb |
| 01:33.42 | h3k | the lite version is only 48mb |
| 01:33.43 | h3k | :) |
| 01:34.48 | byronc | what does that lite version include? |
| 01:34.58 | h3k | jsut a very small base |
| 01:35.07 | h3k | so the user can build their own system |
| 01:35.24 | h3k | it includes basic system tools |
| 01:35.32 | h3k | modified init |
| 01:35.39 | h3k | and my package system |
| 01:35.46 | byronc | interesting |
| 01:35.48 | h3k | and a few other small tools |
| 01:36.07 | h3k | it doesnt include a kernel source, which i can attribute much of the size of the full distro to |
| 01:37.07 | h3k | http://vietnow.net:81/h3k/docs/apps.html << that is an application list that is in progress for the full distro |
| 01:37.12 | h3k | ist not anywhere near complete |
| 01:37.18 | h3k | if i lack anything, it is documentation |
| 01:37.18 | h3k | :) |

| 02:42.48 | h3k | still have a lot to learn |

| 02:42.59 | JoshH | and im interested in it |
| 02:43.10 | JoshH | do they teach it well at the U? |
| 02:43.14 | h3k | yep |

| 02:44.37 | h3k | yep |
| 02:47.14 | JoshH | im trying to learn perl and php, and im kind of interested in bash, python, and java |
| 02:47.23 | h3k | i do some php |

| 05:52.47 | leinaD | Anyone still here? |
| 05:52.58 | leinaD | My grep isn't behaving. |
| 05:53.00 | Maquis | yeah |
| 05:53.04 | Maquis | grep isn't behaving? |
| 05:53.13 | Maquis | what's it doing? (like i'll be able to help....) :) |
| 05:53.14 | leinaD | grep -lnr should print out the file name with the line number, but not the actual line, shouldn't it? |
| 05:53.29 | leinaD | I mean it should |
| 05:53.30 | leinaD | but it's not |
| 05:53.44 | Maquis | ok... l does the name of the file |
| 05:53.54 | Maquis | n gives the line number |
| 05:53.57 | leinaD | yep |
| 05:54.00 | Maquis | r is recursive |
| 05:54.01 | leinaD | r is recursive |
| 05:54.09 | leinaD | but when I do it, it just gives the filenames, no line number :( |
| 05:54.30 | leinaD | probably it just doesn't work that way and I have to pipe it through awk and just grab the first column. |
| 05:54.41 | tensai | I bet -l supercedes -n |
| 05:54.45 | Maquis | well, it says in the description of n, that it prefixes the line with the line number |
| 05:55.05 | Maquis | which means that if you have n, it's going to print the entire line |
| 05:55.11 | Maquis | i bet you just can't do both |
| 05:55.18 | leinaD | nope, you can't |
| 05:55.27 | leinaD | but | awk '{print $1}' does it just fine :) |
| 05:55.37 | leinaD | prompting me to break into song :) |
| 05:55.39 | Maquis | so, use that.. |
| 05:56.00 | Maquis | bye tensai |
| 05:56.16 | leinaD | Oh baby yoo-ou |
| 05:56.19 | leinaD | you got what I nee-eed |
| 05:56.26 | leinaD | (you being awk) |
| 05:56.35 | Maquis | i was hoping so |
| 05:56.36 | Maquis | :) |
| 06:25.39 | Maquis | random question: |
| 06:26.02 | Maquis | so, when you run "make menuconfig" or whatever kernel config system you use, it creates the config file for you |
| 06:26.21 | Maquis | so, is it a "Bad Thing" to manually change things in that file? |
| 06:26.50 | Maquis | or is that another option for doing kernel config? |
| 06:27.18 | Maquis | because if you open the file up, you can see that it has all of the different options listed, but just comments out the ones that weren't selected... |
| 06:27.29 | h3k | you can manually change things |
| 06:27.33 | h3k | if you use a text editor |
| 06:27.38 | Maquis | and if something is set to be compiled in, it's =y and if it's a module, it's =m |
| 06:27.38 | h3k | just be careful not to screw it up |
| 06:27.40 | Maquis | ok... |
| 06:27.43 | h3k | or |
| 06:27.43 | Maquis | i was just curious |
| 06:27.46 | h3k | you can just do make menuconfig |
| 06:27.48 | h3k | and change it there |
| 06:27.55 | h3k | no room for error when its only y,n, or m |
| 06:28.17 | h3k | i always use make menuconfig |
| 06:28.24 | h3k | cause its a nice interface to doing it |
| 06:28.30 | h3k | and i can configure the kernel quicker that way |
| 06:28.34 | Maquis | htat makes sense... :) |
| 06:29.08 | h3k | that made sense |
| 06:29.11 | h3k | just a learning question |

| 06:32.44 | h3k | shoot |
| 06:32.45 | leinaD | want a pastebin? |
| 06:32.50 | h3k | ok |
| 06:32.52 | leinaD | http://www.pastebin.com/105375 |
| 06:33.10 | h3k | ok |
| 06:33.12 | leinaD | console_getopt is a class that parses command line arguments |
| 06:33.13 | h3k | question about what part of it? |
| 06:33.26 | leinaD | I'm going to lay out what it does and then give you my question |
| 06:33.34 | h3k | ok |
| 06:33.41 | leinaD | through line ten grabs the command line args you passed to the script |
| 06:33.59 | h3k | ok |
| 06:33.59 | leinaD | 12 and 13 weed out any errors - for example if you pass in valid options |
| 06:34.13 | leinaD | there are only two valid options, p/pfile, and n/nfile |
| 06:34.14 | h3k | ok |
| 06:34.19 | leinaD | ok here comes the question |
| 06:34.27 | h3k | on 14? |
| 06:34.34 | h3k | i see something not common on line 14 |
| 06:34.46 | leinaD | on line 19 I do if (the option we're dealing with is nfile) |
| 06:34.59 | h3k | ok |
| 06:35.03 | leinaD | and on line 21, I've got an else |
| 06:35.13 | h3k | yeah |
| 06:35.20 | leinaD | on line 21, should I just leave it as an else, or should I do elseif (the option is pfile)? |
| 06:35.27 | h3k | hmm |
| 06:35.34 | leinaD | because pfile is the only thing that could be there, given the error checking that's occurring up a bit higher |
| 06:35.50 | h3k | if it were me i would leave it as else |
| 06:35.56 | leinaD | mmkay |
| 06:36.03 | h3k | i donno if you like the styles others use |
| 06:36.05 | leinaD | that's what I'm thinking... of course that means changes later would break it... |
| 06:36.12 | h3k | but usually a closing } goes on a line by itself |
| 06:36.15 | leinaD | but then again, it's such a short script |
| 06:36.20 | h3k | and the else goes on a line by itself |
| 06:36.26 | h3k | but that is just preference i guess |
| 06:36.26 | h3k | :) |
| 06:36.28 | leinaD | nah, I like them short. |
| 06:36.31 | leinaD | anyway |
| 06:36.33 | leinaD | I think I'll leave it. |
| 06:36.42 | leinaD | thanks :) |
| 06:36.44 | h3k | if you had an elseif |
| 06:36.53 | h3k | you would have to implement an else anyway |
| 06:37.06 | leinaD | really? |
| 06:37.13 | h3k | so there isnt anyway to skip out of the function |
| 06:37.15 | leinaD | you can't just have elseif, elseif, no else? |
| 06:37.16 | h3k | so it always returns something |
| 06:37.23 | leinaD | it's not a function though |
| 06:37.27 | h3k | its just good coding "grammar" per say |
| 06:37.37 | leinaD | oh ok |
| 06:37.45 | h3k | so you don't leave an option unchecked |
| 06:37.50 | leinaD | *nods* |
| 06:37.52 | h3k | else covers anything but the if |
| 06:37.58 | h3k | elseif without an ending else |
| 06:38.01 | leinaD | although here, I'm assuming that what I'm getting is the correct option |
| 06:38.03 | leinaD | isn't that worse? |
| 06:38.08 | h3k | would only cover 2 options |
| 06:38.22 | h3k | its not horrible, if you have something to error check like you have it |
| 06:38.40 | leinaD | okay |
| 06:38.41 | leinaD | cool beans |
| 06:38.56 | h3k | :) |
| 06:39.01 | h3k | i code php every so often |
| 06:39.10 | h3k | not too much in depth though |
| 06:40.39 | leinaD | I'm excited about this little script. |
| 06:41.02 | leinaD | You pass it a file that contains a list of files |
| 06:41.15 | leinaD | and a php file that implements the function mung() |
| 06:41.33 | h3k | and it does what |
| 06:41.37 | leinaD | then it opens each of the files named in the first file, and passes each line to mung() |
| 06:41.45 | h3k | hmmmm |
| 06:42.00 | leinaD | so you implement mung() to do whatever you want to each individual line |
| 06:42.10 | leinaD | and save it in throwawaymunger.php |
| 06:42.20 | h3k | i kinda did something simular in my package management system for my distro |
| 06:42.39 | leinaD | then you call the_script_i_am_writing.php -nfile filenames.txt -pfile throwawaymunger.php |
| 06:42.53 | leinaD | and presto changeo, all your files get changed up the way you want |
| 06:42.57 | leinaD | cool |
| 06:42.58 | h3k | nifty |
| 06:43.06 | leinaD | that's the idea anyway. we'll see how well it works. |
| 06:43.11 | h3k | :) |
| 06:43.29 | h3k | i have my package management system capable of creating packages pretty much automated |
| 06:43.40 | h3k | so it parses file lists created by the tracking system |
| 06:43.52 | leinaD | cooil |
| 06:43.53 | leinaD | -i |
| 06:43.54 | h3k | line by line, feeding them into custom scripts |
| 06:43.55 | leinaD | what's a package? |
| 06:44.13 | h3k | a package is a bundle of software, or scripts |
| 06:44.19 | h3k | you don't use linux? |
| 06:44.46 | h3k | say |
| 06:44.52 | h3k | i want to install some software i created a package for |
| 06:44.56 | h3k | i named the package mozilla-1.7 |
| 06:45.01 | h3k | and i put the package on my server |
| 06:45.02 | h3k | i do |
| 06:45.05 | h3k | getcap mozilla-1.7 |
| 06:45.07 | h3k | and it installs it |
| 06:45.08 | h3k | :) |
| 06:45.30 | h3k | the thing about my package management system is, the pacakges dont have to be software |
| 06:45.37 | h3k | they can be purely configuration |
| 06:45.46 | h3k | so say, you crapped your audio |
| 06:45.51 | h3k | getcap audio-set |
| 06:46.04 | h3k | to resetup your audio devices, and permissions |
| 06:46.05 | leinaD | I do use it, but I use it as a user, not as a... whatever it is that you are if you fiddle with packages ;) |
| 06:46.14 | h3k | :) |
| 06:46.17 | h3k | leinaD, what distro? |
| 06:46.28 | h3k | you probably use packages, just not knowing it |
| 06:46.28 | h3k | :) |
| 06:46.31 | leinaD | Fedora Core 2 |
| 06:46.32 | leinaD | I'm sure I do |
| 06:46.37 | h3k | ok |
| 06:46.40 | h3k | cba and rpms? |
| 06:46.41 | leinaD | but I don't have root, so I don't do anything with them |
| 06:46.44 | h3k | both ar package formats |
| 06:46.47 | leinaD | I've heard of, and used, rpms |
| 06:46.49 | leinaD | oh ok |
| 06:47.01 | h3k | they do a specific thing, and that is to install software |
| 06:47.05 | leinaD | ohhh, that's a cool thing |
| 06:47.06 | h3k | mine do more than that |
| 06:47.11 | leinaD | how your packages can just change settings |
| 06:47.16 | h3k | :) |
| 06:47.19 | h3k | yep |
| 06:47.26 | h3k | i run my own distro too |
| 06:47.33 | h3k | sorry |
| 06:47.38 | h3k | i mean |
| 06:47.39 | h3k | nvm |
| 06:47.45 | h3k | i thought i flooded the channel for a second |
| 06:47.56 | h3k | VERSION xchat 2.4.0 Linux 2.6.7-h3knix [i686/3.19GHz/SMP] |
| 06:48.23 | h3k | i built the computer that runs the distro that i built |
| 06:48.26 | h3k | its a beautiful thing |
| 06:48.41 | h3k | http://vietnow.net:81/h3k/images/comp.jpg << if you have interest in computers |
| 06:48.42 | h3k | :) |
| 06:48.44 | h3k | there is the guts of mine |
| 06:51.07 | leinaD | oh cool |
| 06:51.48 | h3k | well its past my bedtime |
| 06:51.51 | h3k | early day tommorrow |
| 06:51.52 | h3k | gnite |
| 06:52.34 | leinaD | Hmm. I really should put in some command line options that control the output. Oh well - that will go into later versions. |
