| 03:24.28 | elg | well, I had my first battle over my 866 home phone number tonight |

| 03:26.10 | elg | i won the battle, but not the war |
| 03:26.47 | graphyx | Yet, he who turns to run away lives to fight another day... |
| 03:26.47 | elg | the blockbuster clerk asked if my address was current, I said no and gave her my new addy. then she asked if my phone number was current and read me my 866 number. I said yes |
| 03:26.48 | graphyx | eh? |
| 03:27.07 | graphyx | Didn't like that one did they? |
| 03:27.09 | elg | the manager girl behind her overheard and insisted on a local number |
| 03:27.19 | elg | i told her i didn't have one, that that is my home phone |
| 03:27.27 | graphyx | umm... isn't toll free better than local? |
| 03:27.30 | elg | she asked for a number at work or a friend or anything |
| 03:27.43 | elg | apparently it's less reliable. they want to track you down |
| 03:28.04 | graphyx | Well that doesn't really work any more. |
| 03:28.09 | graphyx | My dad has a 801 number. |
| 03:28.13 | graphyx | but he lives in San Jose, CA |
| 03:28.17 | graphyx | VOIP line. |
| 03:28.19 | elg | and can't with a non-local number? I don't know. when I first got here the clerk that set me up didn't have any problem with switching it to my 866 number |
| 03:28.45 | elg | so I asked her, what good is a local number? how is it different from my home phone number being 866? |
| 03:28.56 | elg | I was tempted to rattle off a random 505 number |
| 03:29.00 | graphyx | heh... |
| 03:29.05 | graphyx | 505.465.3623 |
| 03:29.14 | graphyx | is 505 a fake one? |
| 03:29.22 | elg | so she said it was policy and so i asked for the number to the supers |
| 03:29.36 | elg | and she was appeased with the number of family in utah, just this once. |
| 03:29.48 | elg | 505 is the local area code |
| 03:29.51 | graphyx | should have gone with 801-555-1212 or whatever your area code is.. |
| 03:29.58 | graphyx | see if they care for that one. |
| 03:30.02 | graphyx | I mean come on.. |
| 03:30.13 | elg | so i'll call and rattle the cages of the supers |
| 03:30.24 | graphyx | how is an 866 number any worse than a bad number? |
| 03:30.29 | elg | been thinking of abandoning blockbuster anyway since they don't do the week-long rentals here |
| 03:30.43 | graphyx | well nice chatting with you.. but I gotta jam. |

| 14:52.13 | sjansen | If you're using CUPS one option is http://localhost:631/ |
| 14:52.51 | sjansen | Not sure about imageable area, but it'll show you most of what you listed. |
| 14:54.09 | bonez39 | oh, I have localhost:631 open..... |
| 14:54.41 | bonez39 | for some reason, default print jobs, sent from xpdf (which have, btw, worked just fine, without this trouble, in the past) with page set at size A4... |
| 14:55.52 | bonez39 | now, from localhost:631 I printed a test page, to this laserjetiiip...it printed fine, but truncated the bottom border line on the page...didnt' print an additional page to include it..just truncated it on the first page.... so I know the test page is being sent with media=A4 instead of media=Letter... though I don't know where that setting might be.. |
| 14:56.58 | bonez39 | are setting slike this contained in the .ppd file instead of in printcap? |
| 14:57.22 | mheath | bonez39, its not printing with a4, its printing using a .ppd file that doesn't work well with it |
| 14:57.40 | mheath | Try getting a made-for-linux .ppd file off linuxprinting.org, rather than using the vendor-distributed .ppd file |
| 14:57.42 | bonez39 | mheath, ok.... I guess i need to find the offending .ppd file and take it from there.. |
| 14:57.48 | bonez39 | ok |

| 17:22.50 | elg | i've turned on browsing by running /usr/share/enable_browsing 1 |
| 17:23.05 | elg | I've changed Listen 127.0.0.1:631 to Port 631 |
| 17:23.23 | elg | and fiddled with various other auth settings |
| 17:23.42 | elg | er, /usr/share/cups/enable_browsing |
| 17:33.29 | tensai | elg: did you dive into the cups.conf? that's where I'd look. |
| 17:34.19 | tensai | lemme check my config |
| 17:34.45 | tensai | er, cupsd.conf |
| 17:36.29 | elg | got it |
| 17:36.43 | elg | I just tweaked the abominable apache-style auth configs some more |
| 17:36.48 | elg | and it worked. not sure why |
| 17:36.57 | elg | Order Deny,Allow |
| 17:36.59 | elg | Deny All |
| 17:37.01 | elg | Allow @LOCAL |
| 17:37.05 | elg | didn't work |
| 17:37.10 | elg | but Deny None, Allow All did. |
| 17:38.14 | tensai | is there an extra charge for the nufone 800 number? |
| 17:38.28 | tensai | I thought it was just straight up .02/min |
| 17:38.33 | elg | no. actually there's an extra charge for the michigan local number, I think |
| 17:38.44 | tensai | that's how the website read to me |
| 17:38.46 | elg | those are the two choices. michican number or toll-free |
| 17:38.55 | elg | toll-free is just 2c/m |
| 17:44.13 | tensai | what forms of payment do they accept? |
| 17:51.10 | tensai | looks like just paypal |

| 20:56.38 | goozbach | boring |
| 20:57.00 | tensai | elg: when I set up my account they required paypal to complete it |
| 20:57.11 | tensai | ~party with goozbach |
| 20:59.47 | elg | well i'm glad my paypal account works now then |
| 21:00.10 | elg | cuz if they had pulled that before it did, I would have dropped them in a heartbeat |
| 21:01.11 | elg | i'm still trying to figure out what gabe was talking about. if he uses it as a backup he must know there's no charge for 800 number |
| 21:01.41 | elg | unless he means the 2c/m which might be considered "charge" above and beyond his broadvoice bill |
| 21:05.55 | tensai | I think he's confusing the charge for a michigan did with the 800 number |
| 21:10.22 | tensai | when I tried to get an 800 number it told me that "No Toll-Free numbers are available. Please try again later." |
| 21:14.14 | elg | really? I got a new one just a week or so ago |
| 21:14.14 | elg | or do you mean 800 specifically? |
| 21:14.14 | elg | (i.e. instead of 866, etc.) |
| 21:16.36 | xbmodder | how do you render out to a .avi in blender? |

| 21:21.32 | tensai | it could be because my account is so new. I got an email saying it could take a couple days for everything to be set up. |
| 21:22.28 | maquis | odd question |
| 21:23.40 | maquis | i'm in the middle of installing fc4, and it just brought up a box that says "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda3 - Device or resource busy. This means linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda3 until you reboot --- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting" |
| 21:24.06 | maquis | What in the world is using /dev/sda3 in the middle of an installation? |
| 21:24.45 | maquis | so, i hit ignore, and it gives me an unhandled exception |
| 21:25.01 | maquis | this is on cds that i've used a number of times, so i know it's not a bad set of cds |
| 21:26.01 | maquis | The first time i tried to install today, it failed while trying to format /dev/sda2 |
| 21:26.05 | maquis | now it's on /dev/sda3 |
| 21:29.29 | xbmodder | 30% done of animating |
| 21:31.38 | tensai | what it sounds like is that you have the disk mounted while trying to make partition changes |
| 21:31.59 | maquis | tensai: how'd i do that?> |
| 21:31.59 | tensai | the kernel can only reread the partition table if the disk is totally unused |
| 21:32.00 | maquis | i'm just trying to install fc4 |
| 21:32.01 | tensai | maquis: just lucky |
| 21:32.15 | maquis | tensai: i don't want to be lucky |
| 21:32.18 | maquis | well.. |
| 21:32.20 | maquis | not in that way |
| 21:32.33 | maquis | i've never seen that error before |
| 21:32.34 | tensai | can you switch to a new tty and see what has sda3 open? see if anything's mounted |
| 21:32.41 | maquis | nor the one i had the first time |
| 21:32.49 | maquis | tensai: i'll do that this time through |
| 21:33.06 | maquis | when i hit ignore and it threw the exception, it shot me out of the installer and rebooted |
| 21:33.15 | tensai | alternatively, set up your partitions just like you want them, save and then reboot |
| 21:33.28 | tensai | then the next time there's no partition changes to make |
| 21:33.32 | maquis | tensai: this happened during the reformatting of the partitions |
| 21:33.42 | maquis | so... it never got through that point |
| 21:33.55 | tensai | yeah, can't say I really understand what happened. that's my buess guess. |
| 21:34.00 | tensai | s/buess/best/ |
| 21:34.12 | tensai | ~buess is a best guess |
| 21:34.14 | ibot | tensai: okay |
| 21:34.47 | tensai | ~maquis' laptop is possessed |
| 21:34.49 | ibot | tensai: okay |
| 21:36.43 | maquis | tensai: so true |
| 21:37.32 | tensai | both debian and xandros worked without a hitch on my laptop |
| 21:38.10 | maquis | tensai: the weird thing is... |
| 21:38.14 | maquis | my old laptop was possessed too |
| 21:38.15 | tensai | and a knoppix install |
| 21:38.30 | tensai | ah, the one with satan's hard drive? |
| 21:38.39 | maquis | ??? |
| 21:39.11 | tensai | weren't you fighting toshiba over a faulty hard drive? |
| 21:39.30 | goozbach | maquis: just reboot and use that same partition sizes |
| 21:39.56 | tensai | maquis: I concur with goo |
| 21:40.03 | maquis | goozbach: i'm going to try to do it... but the problem is that it never got it set up, i think |
| 21:40.31 | goozbach | then if the problem comes up again, then don't hit ignore |
| 21:40.43 | maquis | hit reboot instead? |
| 21:40.46 | goozbach | maquis: it really did get the partitioning done |
| 21:41.00 | goozbach | It just couldn't get the installers kernel to read it. |
| 21:41.08 | goozbach | eg the "partprobe" didn't work |
| 21:41.41 | goozbach | reboot, don't change any partition settings (other than reformating with filesystems) and you should be set |
| 21:41.59 | maquis | goozbach: i'm trying that |
| 21:43.13 | goozbach | so I wasn't a TOTAL waste today. |
| 21:43.17 | xbmodder | cool |
| 21:43.26 | maquis | goozbach: why not? |
| 21:43.31 | goozbach | I got my hair cut, and bought lightbulbs so I can see in my house at night |
| 21:43.50 | goozbach | I hadn't left the house all day until about 20min ago |
| 21:43.56 | maquis | how long have you not had lightbulbs? |
| 21:44.02 | xbmodder | 9252094233 < call that |
| 21:44.52 | goozbach | maquis: in some rooms, abt 6 months or so |
| 21:45.08 | goozbach | I stole the bulbs out of there so i could see in the bathroom and kitchen |
| 21:45.17 | maquis | goozbach: how many rooms in your house? |
| 21:45.39 | goozbach | 1.5 bedrooms, and 1 bath |
| 21:46.17 | goozbach | I stole the lights out of the second bedroom, and the washroom months ago |
