Back
[00:01:48] <fenn> i'm using 平行移動 for "offset." does that make sense?
[00:02:32] <fenn> heikou idou
[00:21:20] <Jacky^> anyone here ?
[00:24:29] <Jacky^> tomorrow I would like to machine a part I finish today, anyone can give me some tips about mill, diameter, etc.. to use ?
[00:25:48] <fenn> what material?
[00:26:00] <Jacky^> fenn: wood
[00:26:09] <robin_sz> oh, then use a router cutter
[00:26:23] <Jacky^> yes, router cutter..
[00:26:42] <Jacky^> but i'm not sure about mill diameter and type
[00:26:56] <robin_sz> well, is it a big or little part?
[00:27:04] <Jacky^> i can show the draw.. a moment
[00:27:08] <fenn> doesn't really matter for a one-off part, it will get finished eventually
[00:27:15] <robin_sz> true.
[00:27:26] <Jacky^> is here:
http://www.roboitalia.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&album=lastup&cat=&pos=0
[00:27:27] <fenn> big bit makes it go faster, up to the limit of the machine
[00:28:05] <Jacky^> do you think can I use a 3 mm ball nose for all ?
[00:28:25] <fenn> heh is that artcam?
[00:28:30] <Jacky^> yes..
[00:28:42] <Jacky^> i'm using vmware on linux :(
[00:28:59] <fenn> yeah you can use a 3mm bit for the whole thing, but it will take a while
[00:29:09] <fenn> it will go a lot faster if you can do waterlines
[00:29:28] <Jacky^> I suppose many hours ..
[00:29:38] <fenn> yeah
[00:30:09] <Jacky^> I can use 6 mm end mill, 6 mm ball nose or 3 mm ball nose..
[00:30:17] <Jacky^> nothing more for now ..
[00:30:21] <fenn> artcam has some neat features.. you can do a roughing cut, and then it will only cut the parts it needs to on the finish pass
[00:30:39] <Jacky^> yeah, I've seen
[00:30:48] <fenn> rough it out with the 6mm end mill, then finish with 3mm ball nose
[00:30:59] <fenn> if you can figure out how to do that
[00:31:20] <Jacky^> well,
[00:31:48] <fenn> and the other thing... the wood can chip if you do conventional milling
[00:32:04] <fenn> so do climb milling on the roughing pass
[00:32:37] <Jacky^> okay
[00:32:40] <Jacky^> :)
[00:33:14] <Jacky^> I will try to create the toolpath now, then simulate it..
[00:33:42] <Jacky^> thanks :D
[00:55:15] <alex_joni> greetings
[00:55:39] <alex_joni> hey John.. are you around?
[00:55:39] <robin_sz> greetings
[00:55:48] <jmkasunich> yeah
[00:55:53] <alex_joni> nice
[00:55:56] <alex_joni> what's up?
[00:55:57] <jmkasunich> waiting for the 2.6.12 debs to download
[00:56:00] <alex_joni> coo
[00:56:21] <jmkasunich> about 8 mins left
[00:56:29] <jmkasunich> I sure hope this is reversible
[00:56:39] <alex_joni> why shouldn't it be?
[00:56:50] <alex_joni> you can always apt-get remove them
[00:57:02] <alex_joni> and apt-get install the ones from the CD again
[00:57:06] <jmkasunich> 4 of the 5 debs are unique new ones, but one is an upgrade of an existing one... I guess it could be downgraded
[00:57:10] <alex_joni> but I don't think that's even necessary
[00:57:28] <alex_joni> which one's the upgrade?
[00:57:31] <jmkasunich> * jmkasunich is just nervous
[00:57:42] <jmkasunich> rtai-dev I think
[00:57:47] <alex_joni> right
[00:57:51] <alex_joni> called the same
[00:58:17] <alex_joni> you might have configure finding 2 rtais after this
[00:58:35] <alex_joni> it did for me (but I had my own rtai installed)
[00:58:58] <jmkasunich> --with-rtdir= or something like that tells it which one to use, right?
[00:59:31] <alex_joni> yeah
[00:59:46] <alex_joni> but in your case the upgrade should take care of removing the old one
[00:59:52] <alex_joni> and installing the new one in place
[01:00:16] <jmkasunich> gonna find out in a few mins
[01:00:21] <alex_joni> ;)
[01:00:28] <alex_joni> ain't it nice to live on the edge?
[01:00:40] <jmkasunich> think I'll try ./configure before I boot to the new kernel, test the shmem example
[01:00:56] <alex_joni> oh.. btw, thx for reminding
[01:01:01] <alex_joni> I forgot to check in smthg
[01:01:24] <alex_joni> the defines in Makefile.inc.in to build the rtapi/examples modules
[01:01:31] <alex_joni> give me 5 mins
[01:01:40] <alex_joni> booting the bdi
[01:01:42] <jmkasunich> you get 1 min 16 seconds
[01:01:44] <alex_joni> back in a bit
[01:01:45] <jmkasunich> ;-)
[01:01:55] <alex_joni> nah.. BDI doesn't boot that fast
[01:05:46] <alex_joni> back
[01:05:52] <jmkasunich> configure isn't happy
[01:06:03] <jmkasunich> (just started investigating)
[01:06:14] <alex_joni> what's wrong?
[01:06:20] <jmkasunich> it found multiple RT signatures, wants me to tell it which one to use
[01:06:26] <jmkasunich> so I gotta find them
[01:06:29] <alex_joni> ahh.. you need to follow those steps for the kernel source too
[01:06:41] <jmkasunich> oh, from the wiki page?
[01:06:50] <alex_joni> I think /usr/lib/realtime is the rtai used with 2.6.10 iirc
[01:07:05] <alex_joni> and /usr/realtime is what paul used for 2.6.12-magma
[01:07:19] <alex_joni> yeah.. you need to untar the kernel source
[01:07:23] <alex_joni> copy the .config
[01:07:26] <alex_joni> make oldconfig
[01:07:32] <alex_joni> make prepare-all
[01:07:32] <fenn> i compiled 2.6.10 with rtai-3.2, which goes into /usr/realtime
[01:07:36] <alex_joni> then you'll be set
[01:07:46] <alex_joni> fenn: I'm talking deb packages here
[01:07:52] <fenn> oh m/n
[01:08:22] <alex_joni> fenn: what rtai did you use?
[01:08:41] <fenn> uh, i wrote everything i did on the wiki page :)
[01:09:15] <alex_joni> good boy
[01:09:19] <CIA-8> 03alex_joni * 10emc2/src/Makefile.inc.in: added configs for the rtapi/examples modules
[01:09:28] <alex_joni> which page?
[01:09:29] <alex_joni> :D
[01:09:41] <fenn> * fenn grumbles
[01:09:50] <fenn> FC3
[01:09:55] <alex_joni> I'm just curious what flavour you chose for rtai
[01:10:21] <alex_joni> rtai-3.2 3.2-test1 3.2-test2 3.2-test3 or CVS ?
[01:10:22] <jmkasunich> he said 3.2
[01:10:34] <alex_joni> there are quite a few 3.2
[01:10:36] <jmkasunich> oh
[01:10:57] <alex_joni> a few releases
[01:10:59] <fenn> just 3.2 i think
[01:11:20] <alex_joni> also .. the current 3.2 is called magma, but it'll probably get released as 3.3
[01:11:32] <alex_joni> I might be totally wrong here
[01:11:39] <jmkasunich> I think magma is 3.3 already
[01:11:39] <alex_joni> as I don't get those people ;)
[01:11:53] <fenn> its a quite complicated tree, looking at the branch diagram
[01:12:17] <alex_joni> well.. I don't bother trying to understand ;)
[01:12:25] <alex_joni> at least not at 03:26 am
[01:12:26] <jmkasunich> http://www.rtai.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=6
[01:12:53] <fenn> alex_joni: i'm working on a japanese translation of emc.. what do I do once I've filled out the .msg file?
[01:12:57] <jmkasunich> * jmkasunich was wrong I guess
[01:13:18] <alex_joni> fenn: commit it?
[01:13:44] <alex_joni> but you probably want to do the .po file too
[01:13:54] <fenn> and then what? does TkEmc automatically figure out which file to use based on LANG or what?
[01:14:37] <alex_joni> yup
[01:14:48] <jmkasunich> hmmmm that's gonna be a problem
[01:14:51] <alex_joni> at least that's how it's supposed to work
[01:14:55] <alex_joni> jmkasunich: what?
[01:14:59] <jmkasunich> LANG
[01:15:18] <A-L-P-H-A> hello folks.
[01:15:31] <jmkasunich> a week or two ago somebody reported a bug, and suggested that the run script should include "LANG=C" to solve it
[01:15:53] <alex_joni> jmkasunich: you know what's bugging me?
[01:15:59] <alex_joni> I did run tkemc in german
[01:16:05] <alex_joni> with LANG=de
[01:16:23] <jmkasunich> but that was probably before I added LANG=C to the run script?
[01:16:47] <alex_joni> a way back
[01:17:18] <alex_joni> yeah, what I wanted to point out is that I had no problem with awk and LANG=de
[01:17:44] <jmkasunich> oh, so maybe the bug report was actually caused by something else?
[01:18:03] <alex_joni> no idea
[01:20:12] <CIA-8> 03fenn * 10emc2/src/po/ja.msg: i hope someone can fix my busted translation :)
[01:21:23] <Jacky^> fenn: :))
[01:22:12] <fenn> the .po file looks a little daunting
[01:22:51] <fenn> especially since it's hard to understand in english
[01:22:52] <alex_joni> daunting?
[01:23:04] <alex_joni> heh.. you have a german one too..
[01:23:27] <jmkasunich> alex: do I need to boot to the new kernel before I do the make oldconfig?
[01:23:49] <alex_joni> don't think so..
[01:23:52] <alex_joni> but I did
[01:23:58] <alex_joni> but before you boot
[01:24:07] <alex_joni> try the rtapi examples
[01:24:15] <jmkasunich> can't
[01:24:18] <alex_joni> right
[01:24:22] <alex_joni> rtai was upgraded
[01:24:40] <alex_joni> ok.. then I guess.. ;)
[01:24:55] <alex_joni> btw, fusion is supposedly lacking math stuff :(
[01:32:02] <cradek> jmkasunich: instead of LANG you might be able to get by setting LC_NUMERIC (non-monetary numeric formats)
[01:32:29] <cradek> jmkasunich: or, you could fix the regexp in question to match [\.,]
[01:32:58] <jmkasunich> well I didn't even understand the original bug report, I just made the change because the poster seemed to know what he was talking about
[01:33:15] <jmkasunich> I'd have to investigate further, but I have other bugs to squash first
[01:33:23] <alex_joni> hey chris
[01:33:24] <cradek> I thought it had something to do with e.g. 3.000 vs 3,000
[01:33:27] <cradek> hello
[01:33:33] <alex_joni> it was smthg like that
[01:33:42] <alex_joni> abotu the period params from the ini
[01:34:19] <cradek> let me try to find the bug report
[01:35:49] <cradek> was it in the tracker?
[01:36:04] <jmkasunich> I think it was just a mail to the dev list
[01:36:05] <A-L-P-H-A> anyone know where to go get free ringtones?
[01:36:18] <jmkasunich> anyplace but the #emc IRC channel
[01:36:27] <A-L-P-H-A> jmkasunich. :P :)
[01:36:46] <alex_joni> A-L-P-H-A: try google
[01:37:01] <cradek> A-L-P-H-A: try asking somewhere people care
[01:37:33] <jmkasunich> where it isn't off topic
[01:38:01] <alex_joni> or ask google, if that fails do what cradek or jmk said
[01:38:28] <alex_joni> jmkasunich: how's the configure going?
[01:38:41] <jmkasunich> about to make a minor change to configure.in
[01:38:47] <alex_joni> really?
[01:38:49] <alex_joni> coo ;)
[01:42:48] <cradek> I can't reproduce the problem with my awk
[01:43:00] <alex_joni> cradek: same here
[01:43:07] <cradek> even with LANG=de it expects numbers to use . for decimal point
[01:43:44] <alex_joni> so maybe it was LC_NUMERIC as you said
[01:43:52] <alex_joni> and LANG=c doesn't cure it
[01:44:07] <cradek> C, not c
[01:44:15] <cradek> LANG sets all those
[01:45:53] <cradek> "fixed"
[01:45:54] <CIA-8> 03cradek * 10emc2/scripts/emc.run:
[01:45:54] <CIA-8> allow different LANG settings while avoiding the bug reported on the list
[01:45:54] <CIA-8> Jul 1 2005 regarding awk's parsing of numbers from the ini
[01:46:29] <cradek> someone please try that, I can't run emc right now
[01:46:48] <alex_joni> hang on.. checking out already
[01:49:19] <alex_joni> cradek: ever come across this warning?
[01:49:20] <alex_joni> WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.12.2-magma/Module.symvers
[01:49:20] <alex_joni> is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.
[01:49:32] <cradek> nope
[01:50:22] <alex_joni> ok :)
[01:50:34] <alex_joni> jmkasunich: you'll probably get the same warning when compilin modules
[01:50:42] <cradek> I think you might be suffering from bleeding-edge syndrome
[01:51:33] <alex_joni> cradek: I need to
[01:51:46] <alex_joni> seems this is thhe kernel/rtai paul will use on the next BDI
[01:51:52] <alex_joni> and emc2 fails on it
[01:51:58] <cradek> without dependencies modprobe probably won't work for some stuff
[01:52:00] <jmkasunich> yep...
[01:52:18] <jmkasunich> Paul is the one with bleeding edge syndrome, but we're the ones suffering ;-)
[01:52:45] <alex_joni> depmod runs ok
[01:52:53] <alex_joni> not sure if that says anything
[01:53:16] <cradek> let me just say that he and I obviously have different visions for what would be a good emc platform
[01:54:43] <jmkasunich> cradek: what do you consider a good platform?
[01:54:53] <alex_joni> stromboli?
[01:54:58] <cradek> one that runs emc1 and emc2 and is stable and proven
[01:56:11] <jmkasunich> the problem is that emc1 does not gracefully move to new platforms, and sooner or later even a dinosaur like me wants something new
[01:56:23] <jmkasunich> I like Debian
[01:56:25] <cradek> for him to say that the next bdi will be kernel x and rtai y, when NO version of emc runs on those, is silly.
[01:56:28] <jmkasunich> (aka BDI-4.20)
[01:57:02] <jmkasunich> well emc2 should be not to hard to upgrade... all the differences should be limited to the RTAPI section
[01:57:26] <alex_joni> and probably even those shouldn't be there either
[01:57:37] <alex_joni> unless rtai people borked it up somehow
[01:57:51] <alex_joni> probably it's a strange sum of factors
[01:58:07] <jmkasunich> well this specific issue may well be an RTAI borking, but in general RTAPI exists to hide RTOS and OS dependencies
[01:59:36] <jmkasunich> well, that's annoying.
[02:00:57] <jmkasunich> the upgrade deleted the old rtai_config from /usr/lib/realtime/bin/ (in fact it deleted /usr/lib/realtime) but it didn't delete the old symlink to it from /usr/bin/rtai-config
[02:01:23] <jmkasunich> so ./configure is still finding the old link, but when it tries to run it, urp
[02:02:28] <jmkasunich> meanshile the new rtaoI-config is in a completely different place, /usr/realtime/bin/rtai-config
[02:02:39] <jmkasunich> gawd I can't type
[02:03:03] <jmkasunich> I fscking HATE upgrades!!!
[02:03:13] <alex_joni> yeah.. I had the same thing (symlink :()
[02:03:22] <alex_joni> but I thought it's because I had my own rtai
[02:03:30] <alex_joni> just rm it
[02:03:50] <alex_joni> if you link it properly it'll find 2 rtai's again
[02:03:52] <alex_joni> not good
[02:03:59] <alex_joni> but if you rm it, you should be set
[02:04:08] <jmkasunich> actually finding two is what should happen
[02:04:22] <jmkasunich> then the script prints a warning, and you re-run, telling it which one you want to use
[02:04:34] <jmkasunich> multiple versions should be able to co-exist that way
[02:07:12] <alex_joni> I know
[02:07:30] <alex_joni> but on 2.6 I'm not sure you can peacefully have 2 coexisting
[02:07:36] <alex_joni> without major hassle
[02:08:01] <jmkasunich> bummer
[02:08:13] <CIA-8> 03jmkasunich * 10emc2/src/ (configure configure.in): modified configure script, if it finds multiple RT signatures, it will list the ones it found to help the user investigate the situation
[02:09:34] <jmkasunich> ok, rm'ing the symling allowed configure to run, but of course it is now configed for the old RTAI
[02:09:41] <jmkasunich> rebooting
[02:13:11] <jmkasunich> well at least the new kernel doesn't have that thrice damned bootsplash anymore ;-)
[02:14:04] <Jymmm> Question... From a BLANK hdd, whats the best way to get to emc2?
[02:14:12] <jmkasunich> BDI-4.20
[02:14:29] <Jymmm> the one from sherline.com/emc ?
[02:14:44] <jmkasunich> damn... those warnings are gonna be very annoying
[02:14:45] <SWPadnos> http://www.cncgear.com/EMC/BDI/
[02:15:19] <Jymmm> SWP_Away : ok, that had the same MD5 as the one on sherline, thanks .
[02:15:23] <Jymmm> has
[02:15:54] <SWPadnos> no problem
[02:16:31] <SWPadnos> gah - DNS is all flaky on me
[02:16:36] <Jymmm> Ok, I'll reinstall bdi420. I want to use non-x interface as this machien just lags
[02:16:54] <SWPadnos> have you fiddled with PERIOD in emc.ini?
[02:17:27] <Jymmm> SWPadnos no, not at all. just bringing up emc then trying to drag a window around the screen is a big deal in itself
[02:17:46] <SWPadnos> do you mean booting the machine, or actually running EMC?
[02:17:51] <jmkasunich> how does it do when emc isnt running?
[02:18:01] <SWPadnos> (ie, is it laggy when you just run a terminal and drag it around)
[02:18:48] <Jymmm> w/o emc running response is pretty good. but when I had emc up and tried moving like kirc window it would lag big time.
[02:19:03] <jmkasunich> what is your PERIOD?
[02:19:06] <jmkasunich> make it bigger
[02:19:07] <Jymmm> I had installed debian sarge then apt-get emc too
[02:19:07] <SWPadnos> hey jmkasunich, do you know of a good place to get replacement mini bayonet bulbs? (like the ones in the average 29/30mm button)
[02:19:35] <jmkasunich> nope... never needed them
[02:19:40] <SWPadnos> PERIOD is probably 0.000016 - change it to 0.00003
[02:19:45] <SWPadnos> ok, thanks
[02:19:58] <SWPadnos> (need a few 120V ones for a phase converter rebuild)
[02:20:06] <jmkasunich> EMC2 period is 0.000050 by default
[02:20:24] <Jymmm> SWPadnos ok. I'm still RTFMing, but Ray sure is wordy =) so it's taking me longer to go thru it
[02:20:27] <jmkasunich> EMC1 is 0.000016
[02:20:34] <jmkasunich> which are you running
[02:20:35] <SWPadnos> OK - but BDI by default runs EMC1(.5)
[02:21:03] <jmkasunich> you mean when you click on the pretty icons?
[02:21:11] <jmkasunich> * jmkasunich never clicks on the pretty icons ;-)
[02:21:35] <Jymmm> jmkasunich I tried the apt-get emc (
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bdi-emc/debian/) but I think that has issue becasue I get errors during bootup about HAl not liking the kernel
[02:21:39] <alex_joni> emc1(.5) is 0.000024
[02:21:49] <SWPadnos> /usr/local/emc/* is also emc1 by default :)
[02:21:58] <Jymmm> so basically I'm 'starting over' from scratch
[02:22:56] <jmkasunich> cd ..
[02:22:58] <jmkasunich> oops
[02:23:11] <Jymmm> rm \. =)
[02:23:15] <Jymmm> (-rf)
[02:23:29] <SWPadnos> no - slashdot takes more than an rm :)
[02:23:36] <jmkasunich> hmmm... a minor bug in the makefiles
[02:23:43] <alex_joni> jmkasunich: where?
[02:23:45] <jmkasunich> make clean
[02:23:45] <Jacky^> GoodNight
[02:23:51] <Jymmm> G'Night Jacky^
[02:23:58] <SWPadnos> night Jacky^
[02:24:00] <Jacky^> bye
[02:24:14] <jmkasunich> Clean Up /home/John/emcdev/emc2head/src/libnml/nml

[03:35:06] <lilo> [Global Notice] Hi all. The freenode testnet for hyperion-1.0 release candidates is up and running on irc.freenode.net:9001 .... everything is set up, and we need your help. It should be a complete, running network. Whatever you can do to camp on, and test, the network will help us a lot.
[03:36:19] <lilo> [Global Notice] The services database there is a backup from this morning. Everything should be ready to go. We need *large* numbers of users to conduct a scale test. Please come see us on irc.freenode.net:9001 .... your guide there will be TomSawyer . Thanks in advance for your help! :)
[03:37:14] <lilo> [Global Notice] As always, wallops messages ("/mode yournick +w") here and there will provide detailed information. Thanks!
[05:58:43] <anonimasu> * anonimasu is talking to the plc manufacturer more
[06:03:27] <Jymmm> do they still have the old version avaialable?
[06:06:13] <anonimasu> wont help..
[06:06:15] <anonimasu> need to go go work
[06:07:58] <anonimasu> I'll explain it to you later :)
[06:46:25] <Jymmm> k
[07:34:02] <lilo> [Global Notice] Hi all. Just a reminder. The freenode test network, running hyperion 1.0 release candidate, is up and running. It's accessible as irc.freenode.net port 9001, and we need your help testing. This is the replacement code for the current server code (dancer ircd).
[07:34:49] <lilo> [Global Notice] It's a fairly minor upgrade; bug fixes and a feature enhancement or two. But it also represents our project to start bringing things current. Please spend some time on the test network in the next few days.
[07:35:05] <lilo> [Global Notice] Further information will be available on wallops ("/mode yournick +w") from time to time. Thanks.
[07:37:27] <A-L-P-H-A> go go?

[14:14:07] <alex_joni> and the shm there
[14:14:12] <Jacky^> uhm
[14:14:15] <Jacky^> :(
[14:15:50] <Jacky^> good luck ;)
[14:16:12] <Jacky^> I'm tryng to learn something about complex toolpath..
[14:17:38] <alex_joni> nice
[14:18:24] <Jacky^> ;-)
[15:57:51] <anonimasu> hello
[15:58:12] <anonimasu> A-L-P-H-A: no, I just made a typo..
[16:12:18] <A-L-P-H-A> Jacky^, was it lunch time then? or nighttime?
[16:14:09] <fenn> 12:30 am is generally considered night time
[16:14:28] <A-L-P-H-A> but he's in italy...
[16:14:37] <A-L-P-H-A> so when he said that... it really should be pm.
[16:14:43] <A-L-P-H-A> I think he's in italy.
[16:14:51] <A-L-P-H-A> yeah, he's in italy.
[16:20:25] <Jacky^> hello A-L-P-H-A :)
[16:24:29] <Jacky^> right. I missed am ..
[16:24:48] <Jacky^> too much sun on the head :\
[17:08:43] <anonimasu> my new lathe is nice :)
[17:10:54] <Jacky^> anonimasu: got a picture ?
[17:18:37] <anonimasu> yeah but not of where it is standing right now
[17:42:07] <Jymmm> Mornin folks!
[17:48:24] <websys> Nobody here but us chickens
[17:56:38] <JymmmEMC> hi websys
[17:57:32] <JymmmEMC> chickens huh? I better go warm up the bbq then!
[17:58:18] <websys> tough old birds
[17:58:35] <JymmmEMC> good marinate and a pounding can take care of that =)
[17:59:12] <websys> Well I have been getting pounded
[17:59:26] <JymmmEMC> I just installed BDI 420, but it's buggered up the dns =(
[17:59:42] <JymmmEMC> websys: hopefully not from the wifey (too much)
[18:00:06] <websys> Nah - that's the fun stuff
[18:00:39] <JymmmEMC> "Stick and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me!" lol
[18:01:21] <websys> Oh - whip me beat me make me feel cheap
[18:01:41] <JymmmEMC> I would, but i think you would like it WAY too much =)
[18:01:49] <websys> ;)
[18:02:13] <websys> Just installed 4.20 myself - didn't check DNS
[18:02:14] <JymmmEMC> do you know how to tell what resolution you're currently at in X ?
[18:02:48] <websys> Hmm - XF86Config sets the default
[18:02:53] <JymmmEMC> I have dhcp goin on, and it can't find like google as example, but after a few tries it finally found freenode
[18:03:13] <JymmmEMC> I set it to 1600x1200, but I don't know how to tell WHERE it's at now
[18:03:48] <JymmmEMC> and for some odd reason I can't open the XF86Config-4 file
[18:03:56] <JymmmEMC> even as root
[18:04:01] <websys> xwininfo -root
[18:05:53] <JymmmEMC> Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[18:05:53] <JymmmEMC> Xlib: No protocol specified
[18:05:54] <JymmmEMC> xwininfo: unable to open display ':0.0'
[18:06:04] <websys> don't run as root
[18:06:12] <websys> su - someuser
[18:07:13] <JymmmEMC> it says 1600x1200, but this looks awefully big for that
[18:07:31] <websys> well it wouldn't lie to you
[18:07:38] <JymmmEMC> the hell it wouldn't!
[18:07:40] <JymmmEMC> lol
[18:07:51] <websys> well maybe in your case....
[18:08:38] <JymmmEMC> ok, now to make it bigger. but the darn thign won't let me edit the file
[18:08:59] <websys> even as root?
[18:09:10] <JymmmEMC> unless I'm editing the wrong file, but I doubt it. Yep even as root.
[18:10:09] <websys> file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ?
[18:11:08] <JymmmEMC> oh wth... NOW it lets me.
[18:13:50] <JymmmEMC> ok, need to restart X... brb
[18:17:12] <robin_sz> meep?
[18:17:18] <Jymmm> you know, I'm changing resolutions with CTRL+ALT+NUM_PLUS and xwininfo -root still reports the same resoltuon
[18:17:19] <anonimasu> m33p
[18:17:34] <anonimasu> heh why dont you change it in your config
[18:17:57] <Jymmm> anonimasu I did, I added 1920x1440 but it's not taking it.
[18:19:02] <anonimasu> are you editing XF86Config
[18:19:03] <anonimasu> ?
[18:19:16] <Jymmm> /etc/X11/XFConfig-4
[18:19:40] <anonimasu> and are you starting your X with the config on the command line?
[18:20:17] <Jymmm> anonimasu I just installed BDI420 last night
[18:21:03] <anonimasu> but move the tile to XF86Config or whatever the na,me is
[18:21:15] <anonimasu> or start with X -????
[18:21:26] <anonimasu> and your config file as argument
[18:21:39] <anonimasu> I cant remember the command :
[18:21:48] <Jymmm> startx ?
[18:21:55] <anonimasu> yeah
[18:22:31] <Jymmm> the machime by default install goes to a gui login
[18:22:45] <anonimasu> yes?
[18:22:55] <Jymmm> that was just what was on the install, not necessarily what I want
[18:22:59] <anonimasu> but kill X and edit the config file....
[18:23:08] <anonimasu> if you edit the right file it will work :)
[18:23:36] <Jymmm> I C+A+Bksp, is that enough?
[18:23:57] <anonimasu> yeah
[18:23:59] <websys> should be
[18:24:32] <Jymmm> ok, I'm removing all the extra resolution fromt he config file, lets see if that makes a difference
[18:27:06] <Jymmm> lol... damn thing just let me w/o typing my password
[18:27:44] <websys> now that's a weak password
[18:27:52] <Jymmm> lol
[18:27:58] <Jymmm> no shit huh
[18:32:19] <Jacky^> Jymmm: fight with the x server ? :D
[18:32:25] <Jymmm> ok, this is weird, I must be editing the wrong sfile as I rebooted the box and it's still at 1600x1200 instead of 1920x1440
[18:33:13] <anonimasu> heh :)
[18:33:34] <Jymmm> /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
[18:35:06] <Jymmm> and even when I do change to a smaller resolution, why is it scrolling?
[18:39:02] <Jacky^> Jymmm: sometimes I find a solution (if you have knoppix live cd) booting with Knoppix live that have advanced HW detect features, then copy the conf file auto-generated /etc/X11/XF86config-4 in a floppy then override the old one in your distro
[18:39:57] <Jacky^> make even a backup copy of the file
[18:40:52] <anonimasu> why dont you just ediut your XF86config
[18:40:56] <anonimasu> you have one right?
[18:41:21] <anonimasu> or remove all config files and run XF86Config
[18:47:20] <Jymmm> anonimasu : I have been editing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and I even restarted the machien, but it's not acceptign the changes or reading them
[18:48:14] <Jymmm> As a test, I only have "1024x768 "640x480" in the config file now. It it restarts at 1600x1200 something else is wrong.
[18:48:24] <Jymmm> s/It/If/
[18:48:46] <Jacky^> Jymmm: maybe the x server is using XF86Config ! not XF86Config-4
[18:49:02] <Jymmm> Jacky^ where whould that be located at?
[18:49:04] <Jacky^> check it ..
[18:50:23] <Jacky^> Jymmm: i'm not sure about location, there are many files like xinit and many other (I believe)
[18:50:46] <Jymmm> ok it started at 1024x768
[18:51:11] <Jacky^> if the X server is using debconf the file should be XF86Config-4, otherwise not
[18:51:18] <Jymmm> now, how do you prevent it from scrolling at lower resolutions
[18:51:20] <Jymmm> ?
[18:52:30] <robin_sz> Jacky^: i think you mean x client, not server
[18:54:02] <Jacky^> robin_sz: no, uasually the installation ask for use debconf or not to manage X server
[18:54:22] <robin_sz> no ... you have it the wrong way round
[18:55:08] <robin_sz> XF86Config configures the x client
[18:55:52] <Jacky^> mmmhh.. not sure
[18:56:06] <robin_sz> sigh ...
[18:56:12] <Jacky^> :)
[18:56:43] <Jacky^> Jymmm: tried to comment # the line 800x600 in the conf file ?
[18:58:16] <Jymmm> no, but I just removed all the resolutions except 1920x1440
[19:00:25] <Jacky^> should be the same thing, I suppose
[19:00:33] <anonimasu> Jymmm: same place
[19:00:53] <anonimasu> /etc/X11/etc/
[19:01:05] <anonimasu> XF86config
[19:01:30] <Jymmm> You know what, I left ONLY 1900x1440 and it STILL started at 1600x1200
[19:01:48] <anonimasu> You are doing something wrong.
[19:02:13] <Jacky^> Jymmm: can you paste the conf file on nopaste ?
[19:02:22] <anonimasu> comment out something that will break your X..
[19:02:26] <anonimasu> driver "nv"
[19:02:29] <anonimasu> add #
[19:02:29] <Jacky^> I'm corius :)
[19:02:40] <anonimasu> if X will start then it's not the file you are using
[19:02:42] <Jymmm> Well, during the install, it did ask me the max res I wanted, the highest available was 1600x1200
[19:03:45] <anonimasu> the issue is if you are editing the right file first of all
[19:03:55] <cradek> the X log says what config file it's using
[19:04:09] <cradek> % grep Using /var/log/XFree86.0.log
[19:04:09] <cradek> (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
[19:04:11] <anonimasu> XF86config is the usual one
[19:04:20] <anonimasu> err Config..
[19:04:40] <Jymmm> whne I change /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to "1024x768" "640x480" and did C+A+BKSP it restated in 1024x768
[19:04:58] <cradek> then look at the log to see what the problem is with 1920
[19:05:01] <cradek> 1900
[19:05:03] <cradek> whatever it is
[19:06:49] <robin_sz> Jacky^: for future reference, in X, the programs (auch as Netscape, Xchat or whatever) are the servers, the X client is the thing that fills the screen and provides awindow manager etc
[19:07:07] <robin_sz> or thats the way i understand it anyway .. its exactly the opposite of what you expect
[19:07:32] <Jacky^> right
[19:08:11] <TomSawyer> [Global Notice] Hi, y'all. Freenode has a problem. We've got a test network running hyperion-1.0rc3(136), the release candidate for our next production server code. It's a simple thing, bug fixes and a few enhancements. But we need your help testing it.
[19:08:15] <TomSawyer> [Global Notice] We have about 200 users there now, and we need a few thousand, at least. So please, pack up your stuff, put out a sign ("gone testing!") and switch over to server irc.freenode.net, port 9001. It's a complete running network and your channels are waiting.
[19:08:21] <TomSawyer> [Global Notice] There's buckets and paint brushes and with any luck we can have that fence whitewashed in a few days. It's lots of fun. Honest! If you have any questions, stop by #freenode-testing here, or #hyperion there. See ya on the testnet! :^)
[19:09:37] <websys> Hmmm? I thought the Xsever was X and the xclients were things like xterm etc
[19:10:04] <Jacky^> hehe
[19:10:06] <fenn> 12:30 am is generally considered night timehjkl;'
[19:10:07] <Jacky^> :)
[19:10:13] <fenn> whoops
[19:10:24] <Jymmm> fenn morning
[19:10:30] <Jacky^> hi fenn
[19:11:50] <websys> According the the O'Reilly books xterm, xcalc etc are x clients
[19:12:02] <websys> so X is the X server
[19:12:23] <Jacky^> websys: it maybe depend on theside we look
[19:13:07] <websys> not according to the books I have on X which go back to 1988
[19:13:33] <websys> ( I've been working in X since 1982 )
[19:13:40] <Jacky^> i'm waiting for update my Sid distro..
[19:13:56] <Jacky^> I seen they released Xorg
[19:14:06] <anonimasu> * anonimasu is running xorg
[19:14:16] <Jacky^> I'm not sure to run it yet ..
[19:14:32] <anonimasu> why not?
[19:14:39] <Jacky^> also, can't understand why the upgrade want remove gaim
[19:15:21] <Jacky^> anonimasu: mmm.. I think it's not so stable yet
[19:15:34] <websys> Haven't seen any real difference running Xorg vs. XFree
[19:15:52] <Jacky^> I also use a simply window manager like evilwm, no icons, no bars..
[19:15:55] <anonimasu> Jacky^: I am afraid you seem to have no idea about it :)
[19:16:06] <anonimasu> it's as stable as xfree..
[19:16:09] <Jacky^> anonimasu: I will try it..
[19:16:17] <anonimasu> as far as I've experienced..
[19:16:34] <Jacky^> A friend of mine that tried it on Kubuntu don't talk very well..
[19:16:46] <Jacky^> but he's using a laptop
[19:16:55] <websys> anon - have you seen any difference between the different X servers?
[19:16:56] <anonimasu> * anonimasu is too
[19:17:21] <anonimasu> not really, I think it's a bit faster then xfree. but it might be my imagination
[19:17:46] <websys> ok - just thought I was missing something
[19:17:52] <Jacky^> this can be tested with some benchmark app, I think..
[19:18:04] <anonimasu> yeah.. but I dont bother too much
[19:18:24] <Jacky^> anonimasu: which video card are U using ?
[19:19:13] <anonimasu> radeon 9800 256mb mobile..
[19:19:30] <Jacky^> cool :) great card
[19:19:51] <anonimasu> :)
[19:19:54] <anonimasu> it's messy with linux though
[19:20:00] <Jacky^> 3D accelleration support work, right ?
[19:20:14] <anonimasu> I havent found out why my dualhead is being strange yet
[19:20:18] <anonimasu> yeah
[19:20:20] <anonimasu> it does :)
[19:20:21] <Jacky^> nice
[19:21:54] <Jacky^> I'm also using ati radeon 9600 256 mb
[19:22:09] <Jacky^> on wk I mean ..
[19:22:55] <anonimasu> :)
[19:23:52] <Jacky^> for me work great, I'm using that with linux + vmware+win2k and 3D cad.. rocks !
[19:24:05] <Jacky^> :D
[19:24:46] <Jacky^> Jymmm: solved ?
[19:25:14] <Jymmm> nope
[19:25:30] <Jacky^> damn..
[19:58:57] <Jacky^> cannot understand where to find the parameters like advance speed of a tool if they don't write it in the catalogue of the products :\
[19:59:44] <Jacky^> may I invent it ?
[20:00:33] <Jacky^> or maybe going for experiment ..
[20:02:16] <Jacky^> seem to me like a closed proprietary software information ghghghg...
[20:03:35] <anonimasu> adadvance sped?
[20:03:37] <anonimasu> speed?
[20:03:56] <anonimasu> any good producer will specify it
[20:04:18] <lilo> [Global Notice] Hi all. Just a reminder. We're testing the code that will be running here in a few days, on our irc testnet. We need your help to make sure it's relatively bug free. All of the channel configuration is the same, it's a complete running network.
[20:04:29] <anonimasu> but you may invent and experiment..
[20:04:37] <lilo> [Global Notice] Please pack up your tents and come to irc.freenode.net (port 9001) as soon as possible, in rather huge numbers. Thank you. :)
[20:04:42] <anonimasu> decide on a chipload.. :)
[20:04:44] <anonimasu> and just mill away
[20:04:55] <Jacky^> yeah..
[20:05:23] <Jacky^> but I think it's not a good idea for the life of the tool :(
[20:05:41] <anonimasu> do you really have much choice if there's no specification.
[20:05:55] <anonimasu> :)
[20:05:56] <Jacky^> how ?
[20:06:03] <anonimasu> chipload?
[20:06:12] <lilo> [Global Notice] To clarify, the only thing missing from the testnet would be you. It has all the configuration, and not so many of the people. :) We need more people there. :) irc.freenode.net (port 9001) .... thanks!
[20:06:13] <Jacky^> yes..
[20:06:30] <Jacky^> just testing, right ?
[20:06:41] <anonimasu> http://www.hanita.com/hanita_protected/formulas.htm
[20:06:48] <Jacky^> ah !
[20:06:50] <Jacky^> :)
[20:07:26] <anonimasu> follow that a bit then increase your feed until it sounds right
[20:07:32] <anonimasu> increase/decrease
[20:07:39] <lilo> [Global Notice] For further help getting to the testnet, please stop by #freenode-testing here on the main network... thanks!
[20:07:46] <Jacky^> very interesting :D
[20:08:19] <Jacky^> the catalogue of my tools show only the price :\
[20:08:26] <anonimasu> cheap tools?
[20:08:51] <Jacky^> here:

[20:09:00] <Jacky^> are italian products
[20:09:13] <Jacky^> it seem to me not so good..
[20:09:53] <anonimasu> no idea :/
[20:21:37] <lilo> [Global Notice] Bug reports on #hyperion or to bugs@freenode.net .... thank you for coming, and please hang with us :)
[20:21:49] <lilo> [Global Notice] Oops, wrong network. ;)
[20:23:20] <anonimasu> Jacky^: what does the pdf on the endmill page say
[20:26:01] <Jymmm> what the utility to reconfig X - XFConfig?
[20:26:43] <anonimasu> XF86Config
[20:27:59] <Jymmm> where is it?
[20:28:52] <anonimasu> updatedb ; whereis XF86Config
[20:28:57] <anonimasu> brb, going to the kiosk
[20:28:58] <anonimasu> :)
[20:29:03] <Jymmm> nothing found
[20:29:34] <anonimasu> /usr/X11R6/bin/
[20:29:35] <anonimasu> maybe
[20:29:40] <Jymmm> thanks
[20:33:31] <Jymmm> ok, I thought that might give me a list of video cards, but it doesn't
[20:35:02] <anonimasu> it does
[20:35:13] <anonimasu> after you've set up your mouse and keyb
[20:35:42] <Jymmm> I did, but it only gives me a generic list... vga, svage, etc
[20:36:01] <anonimasu> there is more cards that will show also..
[20:36:25] <anonimasu> :)
[20:39:59] <Jacky^> anonimasu: the pdf show the same parameter of the webpage
[20:40:05] <Jacky^> nothing more
[20:40:07] <anonimasu> ok
[20:45:35] <Jacky^> Jymmm: you could also try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 for reconfigure with a dialog window
[20:45:51] <Jacky^> should be simple
[20:54:49] <Jymmm> that brings up a different dialog that what I saw during the install.
[20:57:35] <Jacky^> strange..
[20:57:49] <lilo> [Global Notice] Hi all. Just a reminder. We're testing new server code, and it's the code that will show up here, bugs and all, in a few days. Please stop by the testnet and spend time there. Server name is irc.freenode.net as usual, but port number is 9001 .... for more info, please stop by #freenode-testing here.
[20:57:55] <Jymmm> I just want to chang ethe video card, but need to see a list of them. what anonimasu, you , and someone else suggested doesn't list them all.
[20:58:52] <Jacky^> does not appear the list running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 ?
[20:59:01] <Jymmm> no
[20:59:17] <Jacky^> ugh !
[20:59:37] <Jymmm> ATI Mach64 is what I'm looking for. It should up during the BDI install, but not in any of the x config utilities
[20:59:46] <Jymmm> s/should/showed/
[21:00:07] <Jacky^> strange, for me first window opened is a list of the video drivers
[21:00:17] <Jymmm> look for ATI Mach64
[21:01:23] <Jacky^> first 3 drivers are: apm, ark, ati
[21:01:36] <Jacky^> there's no Ati Mach64
[21:01:51] <Jacky^> I think you need the Ati package for them
[21:02:05] <Jymmm> Yep, that's the problem, as there really is one, it showed up during the BDI install.
[21:02:19] <cradek> maybe it's called mach64
[21:02:56] <cradek> or, just try ati
[21:03:18] <Jacky^> cradek: it seem doesn't exist on default video card list
[21:03:38] <Jacky^> infact, ati should work
[21:03:57] <Jacky^> without 3D accelleration, but should work fine
[21:06:17] <Jacky^> if mach64 has 3D acc.
[21:07:50] <Jymmm> screw it, it's taking too much time just to get 1920x1440
[21:08:09] <Jymmm> ok, any suggestions why BDI isn't seeing my dns via dhcp?
[21:09:24] <Jymmm> when I has installed debian sarge there was no issues.
[21:09:38] <Jacky^> mmhh
[21:10:19] <Jacky^> try editing /etc/resolv.conf
[21:10:41] <Jacky^> but maybe the next time dhcp will overwrite it..
[21:11:08] <Jymmm> how can I see what it's currently using for dns?
[21:11:12] <Jymmm> dhcp that is
[21:11:23] <Jacky^> cat /etc/resolv.conf
[21:11:35] <Jymmm> dhcp wrties to that?
[21:11:45] <Jacky^> yes
[21:11:55] <Jacky^> anytime
[21:12:03] <Jymmm> resolv.conf is 0 bytes
[21:12:14] <Jacky^> no lines inside ?
[21:12:26] <Jymmm> it's zero byte file
[21:12:30] <Jymmm> emptry
[21:12:33] <Jacky^> :\
[21:13:00] <Jacky^> are U using ethernet card ?
[21:13:23] <Jymmm> yep, and it has an ip address, just no dns
[21:13:37] <Jacky^> is up ?
[21:13:43] <Jymmm> yes
[21:13:59] <Jacky^> try to restart:
[21:14:10] <Jymmm> no difference
[21:14:15] <Jacky^> /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:14:19] <Jacky^> nothing ?
[21:15:08] <Jymmm> I've rebooted the machien many times, something is misconfigured during install
[21:15:23] <Jacky^> here are the first lines of my /etc/network/interfaces
[21:16:31] <websys> actually one if you just want to define the nameserver
[21:16:52] <Jymmm> I want it to grab the dns servers via dhcp
[21:17:10] <Jymmm> right now, I just want to see what it thinks the dns servers are
[21:17:20] <Jymmm> how can I do that?
[21:17:39] <websys> nslookup
[21:17:41] <Jacky^> Jymmm: I suspect some dhcp package is missing or not configured as a well
[21:17:43] <websys> ans type server
[21:17:58] <websys> s/ans/and/
[21:17:59] <Jymmm> Jacky^ I think so too
[21:18:26] <Jymmm> 127.0.0.1#53
[21:19:45] <Jacky^> Jymmm: try to reconfigure dhcp-dns :# dpkg-reconfigure dhcp-dns
[21:20:20] <Jacky^> ops..
[21:20:30] <Jacky^> sorry.. maybe is not for client side :\
[21:21:28] <Jacky^> should be dhcp-client
[21:21:45] <Jacky^> and dhcp
[21:22:00] <Jacky^> try to dpkg-reconfigure these packages
[21:22:24] <websys> or look at /etc/dchp3 for the cfg and scripts
[21:23:36] <Jymmm> could someone past theri conf file?
[21:23:39] <Jymmm> paste
[21:24:39] <websys> you mean resolv.conf?
[21:24:48] <Jymmm> dhcp3
[21:26:24] <Jymmm> the one I have is mostly commented out
[21:26:44] <websys> I'll send you the uncommented lines
[21:26:49] <Jymmm> k
[21:27:41] <websys> request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
[21:27:42] <websys> domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name,
[21:27:42] <websys> netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope;
[21:29:11] <Jacky^> hey Phydbleep :)
[21:29:26] <websys> request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domai
[21:29:28] <websys> n-name-servers, host-name, netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope;
[21:32:38] <Jymmm> did you paste twice? if not, I have exactly that.
[21:34:10] <Jymmm> #prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
[21:34:10] <Jymmm> request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
[21:34:10] <Jymmm> domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name,
[21:34:10] <Jymmm> netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope;
[21:34:10] <Jymmm> #require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
[21:34:19] <websys> yes - tried to get it on one line
[21:35:06] <Jymmm> then I guess the problem lies elsewhere
[21:35:52] <websys> you could try re-running the dhclient-script
[21:37:11] <Jymmm> no change
[21:37:33] <Jymmm> nslookup server still points to 127.0.0.1
[21:42:17] <PhydBleep_> PhydBleep_ is now known as Phydbleep
[21:45:02] <Jymmm> websys are you running dhcp?
[21:45:21] <websys> ummm on some boxes
[21:46:09] <Jymmm> at least the box you gave the listing from?
[21:46:10] <Jacky^> Jymmm: i'm running dhcp
[21:46:37] <Jacky^> Jymmm: what are you using as dhcp server ? ethernet modem ?
[21:46:47] <Jymmm> dlink router
[21:46:59] <Jymmm> which works fine on all the other machiens,
[21:47:05] <Jacky^> well,
[21:47:09] <Jymmm> even debian sarge and woody
[21:47:45] <Jacky^> the only thing is that won't write the file resolv.conf ?
[21:48:10] <websys> I don't think it's even getting an address
[21:48:27] <Jymmm> it's getting an ip, I'm shelled into ti
[21:48:43] <Jymmm> just can't resolv anything
[21:49:03] <Jacky^> have rou reconfigured the 2 pakages dhcp and dhcp-client ?
[21:49:06] <Jymmm> or it does sometimes but VERY slowly
[21:49:34] <websys> so ifconfig gives you and address besides 127.0.0.1
[21:49:48] <Jacky^> right
[21:50:04] <Jymmm> websys : I'm shelled into the box right now
[21:50:23] <Jymmm> SSH
[21:50:33] <Jacky^> Jymmm: ifconfig eth0 what says ?

[21:53:06] <Jymmm> that's yahoo.com btw
[21:54:15] <websys> well you could just hard code a dns server if you just want to get it working
[21:54:15] <Jacky^> well, it worl with numeric address
[21:54:21] <Jacky^> work*
[21:54:54] <Jacky^> I think resolv.conf is being writed by dchp-client..
[21:54:57] <Jymmm> Couldn't stat source package list
http://webersys.com ./ Packages
[21:55:14] <websys> I'm updating it this very minute
[21:55:17] <Jacky^> if the package is installed an configured should work
[21:55:41] <Jymmm> websys oh, I was just trying to install links
[21:56:18] <websys> should be there in a few minutes
[21:56:46] <Jymmm> Temporary failure in name resolution
[21:57:41] <websys> Jymmm - want to just plug in my nameserver temporily to see if it resolves?
[21:58:12] <Jymmm> What I'm REALLY frustrated about is debian sarge works fine. Then if I follow the wiki to apt-get emc there is a problem with HAL and the kernel.
[21:58:47] <Jymmm> websys my dns works fine, just they change them sometimes and I don't want to go thru this later on doewn the road.
[21:58:58] <websys> ok
[21:59:19] <Jymmm> screwit , how can I add them manually (mine that is) ?
[21:59:52] <websys> in the file /etc/resolv.conf, add the line(s):
[22:00:05] <websys> nameserver 192.160.42.99
[22:00:22] <websys> nameserver WhateverNameServerYouKnow
[22:00:35] <websys> you can have as many as you want
[22:02:34] <JymmmEMC> well, INSTANT response since I added them to resolv.conf
[22:02:43] <websys> figures
[22:03:10] <JymmmEMC> lets hope that a reboot doesn't have dhcp erase the entries
[22:04:26] <JymmmEMC> and why apt-get only has you as source is beyond me.
[22:04:26] <Jacky^> mmhh,, probably..
[22:06:19] <JymmmEMC> ty websys , Jacky^
[22:06:43] <JymmmEMC> I'll get the rest figured out later on.
[22:06:54] <websys> webersys id the only thing in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[22:07:33] <Jacky^> JymmmEMC: ok :)
[22:08:42] <Jymmm> localhost:/etc# cat /etc/apt/sources.list

[22:09:20] <Jymmm> thats the WHOLE file btw
[22:16:40] <websys> as long as you have the debian site, you should be able to get updates
[22:17:44] <JymmmEMC> yeah. I'm just used to having 'more then one' is all.
[22:18:56] <JymmmEMC> and I'm surprised to see ONLY one entry.
[22:19:26] <websys> That's all that paul put in there
[22:21:18] <Jacky^> JymmmEMC: adding deb
http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main should be a good idea, to get security update
[22:21:36] <Jacky^> but better ask to paul..
[22:29:33] <JymmmEMC> if paul was ever around
[22:30:00] <Jacky^> hehe
[22:30:56] <JymmmEMC> oh great.... now that I've spent all this time on video and dns, now emc doens't start up.
[22:31:52] <Jacky^> ugh !
[22:36:45] <websys> Jymm - still there?
[22:36:51] <JymmmEMC> yeah
[22:37:22] <websys> Would you please do an apt-get update to see if it complains about my site?

[22:39:11] <websys> Thanks - guss it's all there now
[22:40:16] <JymmmEMC> how do I get the path to the cmd of an icon?
[22:41:39] <websys> ? right-click and get properties?
[22:42:06] <JymmmEMC> doens't show it for something in a menu... /EMC/generic
[22:44:17] <websys> right click on the start button and use menu editor?
[22:44:37] <JymmmEMC> I dragged the icon to the desktop
[22:44:54] <JymmmEMC> FUCK ME!
[22:45:03] <websys> No thanks
[22:45:27] <websys> the desktop is stored in files in our home directory
[22:45:30] <JymmmEMC> If I click the generic icon, it tries to start then dies. If I start it from a Konsole it starts
[22:45:42] <websys> you can view those files
[22:46:34] <websys> are you running Konsole as root?
[22:46:48] <JymmmEMC> su
[22:47:18] <websys> the icon doesn't go to su
[22:47:36] <websys> You're just a normal user
[22:47:45] <websys> ( from the icon )
[22:48:19] <JymmmEMC> so that just defeats the purpose
[22:48:24] <JymmmEMC> of having an icon
[22:53:22] <websys> You can have the icon run the app as a differt user ( i.e. root )
[22:54:24] <Jymmm> screw it, I'm gonna login as root instead.
[23:02:10] <Jacky^> hi robin_sz

[23:44:09] <Jacky^> Jymmm: I think you can set background transparence on console to see the wallpaper on desktop
[23:44:15] <Jacky^> should be nice
[23:44:35] <Jymmm> I DONT want to see it.
[23:44:42] <Jacky^> ah

[23:45:24] <Jacky^> then remove desktop wallpaper click DX
[23:45:49] <robin_sz> ugh .. they still put silly backgroubnd pics on?
