| 00:02.54 | Maquis | sjansen, maybe we should've had bonez just edit the xinitrc from inside x... that might have been easier |
| 00:03.08 | sjansen | *shrug* |
| 00:03.20 | sjansen | it would have happened eventually |
| 00:03.25 | Maquis | true.. |
| 00:04.08 | Maquis | hmmm... maybe i should resurrect "startScript" sometime... haven't used it since i reformatted this machine... but i'm still pretty proud of it... |
| 00:07.18 | Nafai | What's startScript? |
| 00:07.44 | sjansen | So what'd be a good name for the new plug server? |
| 00:08.11 | Maquis | nafai, startScript is something i wrote when startx died on my laptop over the summer |
| 00:08.19 | sjansen | The UUG server is phantom. That's been a great name. Especially when the server was almost lost. |
| 00:08.38 | Maquis | sjansen, or for phrases like "phantom maintenance" |
| 00:09.47 | Maquis | nafai, startScript is a _very_ simplistic little script that starts x and a window manager, and then eventually the goal was to get it to read the .xinitrc, but i never got that part working correctly, so i just added in things that i wanted started right into the script... :) |
| 00:10.00 | Maquis | but it was really useful for learning how to start x manually |
| 00:10.28 | Nafai | Cool |
| 00:10.44 | Nafai | I don't know a lot about how the X start up works |
| 00:11.00 | Maquis | one of my main ways of learning new things with linux is by breaking things (accidentally) on my computers |
| 00:11.27 | Maquis | one of my roommates was wondering why i have 2 computers, and i explained that at any given moment, usually one of them is not working correctly... |
| 00:11.38 | Nafai | Heh |
| 00:11.42 | Maquis | (and it's usually because i started messing with something i wasn't supposed to mess with) |

| 02:53.42 | vontrapp | what option do you need to pass cdrecord to make a cd bootable? |
| 02:54.47 | fozzmoo | vontrapp: You're just full of questions tonight. |
| 02:54.53 | vontrapp | i know |
| 02:55.39 | fozzmoo | I don't think you just pass an option to make a CD bootable. |
| 02:59.03 | vontrapp | well i have a bootable image |
| 02:59.17 | vontrapp | but the burn doesn't boot |
| 03:04.38 | fozzmoo | Huh. |
| 03:04.57 | fozzmoo | I just cdrecord -eject dev 0,1,0 image.iso, for example. |
| 03:05.08 | fozzmoo | WOrks fine for bootable ISOs or output from a dd command. |
| 03:05.20 | fozzmoo | Copied some SLES9 CDs a couple weeks ago that way. |
| 03:09.00 | tensai | bootability is all in the ISO image. There's nothing cdrecord does different for a bootable one versus a nonbootable. |
| 03:15.22 | fozzmoo | Well said. |
| 03:22.19 | vontrapp | ok, that's pretty much what i thought |

| 05:47.27 | Maquis | thanks for the sympathy tensai.... |
| 05:47.36 | fozzmoo | Guys suck! |
| 05:48.13 | fozzmoo | I thought I understood women when I got married. |
| 05:48.36 | fozzmoo | The last 10 years have proven to me that I have always been (and still am) an idiot about women. |
| 05:48.43 | Mecworks | Just tonight I got a response back from a "good friend" that's going to BYUH who quietly dropped a one-liner "BTW, I'm engaged and getting married in December, how's your life going" to which all I can think of saying is "well, I've decided not to persue you any more..." |
| 05:48.45 | Maquis | yeah... |
| 05:48.49 | fozzmoo | I'm just glad my wife puts up with me. :) |
| 05:49.00 | Maquis | mecworks... that's pretty good |
| 05:49.17 | Mecworks | yea. life sucks all around some times... |
| 05:49.24 | Maquis | yeah... |
| 05:49.58 | fozzmoo | If there's a bright spot in all this... |
| 05:50.08 | Mecworks | ...its missing |
| 05:50.13 | fozzmoo | It's that research now suggests 1% of the population is asexual. ;-) |
| 05:50.24 | Maquis | huh??? |
| 05:50.43 | Mecworks | I was just finnishing fozzmoo's thought for him |
| 05:51.02 | Maquis | no... i'm not completely understanding fozz's completion of his thought |
| 05:51.31 | Mecworks | 1% of the population are unix |
| 05:51.34 | fozzmoo | heh heh. |

| 05:52.32 | fozzmoo | I guess if you give up on the opposite sex altogether, there's now a statistically significant demographic to belong to. :) |
| 05:52.38 | Maquis | vontrapp, did you get your gentoo boot problem fixed? |
| 05:52.52 | fozzmoo | Maybe that was my point. |
| 05:52.54 | Maquis | fozzmoo: oh... yeah... well.... i haven't given up on all of them |
