| fred | but under Kubuntu, my machine (the CPU) collapses whenever I start my virtual machine | 12:02 |
|---|---|---|
| gdh | nikkia: Do you find that it 'forgets' it's been configured after a reboot and you have to compile the modules again? | 12:02 |
| nikkia | fred, my only real issue is that disk activity within vmware causes keyboard handling in the rest of the OS to go very bad, sometimes | 12:02 |
| nikkia | gdh, not with 5.0 | 12:02 |
| fred | oh there we go | 12:02 |
| gdh | Ahh, a reason to upgrade :) | 12:02 |
| nikkia | gdh: used to have that with 4.5, but 5.0's only ever asked me to rebuild modules when i've upgraded the kernel | 12:02 |
| gdh | nikkia: Ah yes, it's 4.5 I have, not 4.1... | 12:03 |
| nikkia | gdh, altho the vmnet modules panic my hand-built 2.6.12.3 | 12:03 |
| nikkia | but that could be a number of things :) | 12:03 |
| gdh | :) <diplomacy mode engaged> | 12:03 |
| nikkia | gdh, the panic text suggests its a conflict between vmnet and the per-emptible kernel stuff | 12:04 |
| nikkia | altho, i haven't checked for vmware updates in months | 12:04 |
| fred | Vmware installs and runs fine, only that the Kubuntu does not seem to be able to handle the load | 12:04 |
| nikkia | but none available... | 12:04 |
| gdh | nikkia: Hm, the default 2.6.10-5-686 has CONFIG_PREEMPT=y set... | 12:04 |
| fred | I guess my best shot is to upgrade Kubuntu to the latest | 12:04 |
| nikkia | gdh, something might have changed in the .12 pre-empt tho | 12:05 |
| gdh | that's true... | 12:05 |
| nikkia | gdh, or it may just be vmnet building against the wrong kernel tree, i didn't look that hard at it | 12:05 |
| nikkia | gdh, my priority now is building LFS so i can get off of kubuntu :P | 12:06 |
| TestMAD | lfs? | 12:07 |
| gdh | nikkia: So why are you here? :) | 12:07 |
| nikkia | gdh, because i'm using kubuntu atm | 12:08 |
| nikkia | testmad, linux from scratch | 12:08 |
| TestMAD | kewl | 12:08 |
| nikkia | testmad, its about 10 steps above gentoo in the 'pointless waste of time for most people' scale | 12:08 |
| TestMAD | heh | 12:08 |
| gdh | LOL | 12:08 |
| gdh | I was in the middle of constructing a sentence like that :) | 12:08 |
| nikkia | however, if you're one of those few users that need a system tuned to a specific task, then it means there is no package system to be tripping over | 12:09 |
| TestMAD | i wouldnt mind a source install of kubuntu | 12:09 |
| TestMAD | but it looks like that will never happen | 12:09 |
| nikkia | testmad, you could do it yourself, its not that hard :P | 12:10 |
| TestMAD | really? | 12:10 |
| crimsun | it'd be kinda pointless and a time-waster, but sure. | 12:10 |
| TestMAD | a kubuntu install from source?? how? | 12:10 |
| crimsun | nothing's stopping you from doing it. | 12:10 |
| sproingie | actually i wish there was a source mode in aptitude | 12:11 |
| nikkia | bring up a basic kernel install, using whichever distro, install apt from source, setup apt's sources, apt-get --compile source kubuntu-desktop | 12:11 |
| sproingie | come back in a week | 12:11 |
| TestMAD | hehehe | 12:11 |
| sproingie | and find it's exactly the same as binaries | 12:11 |
| sproingie | separate compilation's a nice thing | 12:12 |
| TestMAD | i figure you would get more performance from a source compiled install than from an install cd | 12:12 |
| sproingie | gentoo's use flags are a pretty nice thing | 12:12 |
| sproingie | the rest of it's for ricers | 12:12 |
| sproingie | not really | 12:12 |
| sproingie | in fact a lot of riced up gentoo installs have shown to have *worse* performance | 12:13 |
| === _bbailey [~bbailey@adsl-8-52-82.mia.bellsouth.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| nikkia | sproingie: the reason i'm building LFS is because i need a system that is 1) tuned to audio use, 2) has gutenprint | 12:13 |
| sproingie | like people using -funroll-loops. that's been a bogus optimization since the pentium pro at least | 12:13 |
| nikkia | sproingie: and replacing gimpprint with gutenprint is unimaginably hard :P | 12:13 |
| nikkia | well, replacing it properly | 12:14 |
| nikkia | you could just compile from source and make install and be damned | 12:14 |
| TestMAD | i need a a fellow themer to hook up with for a bit. | 12:15 |
| TestMAD | ive been reading how to theme kde.. | 12:15 |
| TestMAD | its friggen programming | 12:15 |
| nikkia | to do it, you basically need to build gutenprint in a way that replicates the gimpprint packages, and tell each one that it replaces the gimpprint modules, and then force install them | 12:15 |
| TestMAD | i dont know any of that | 12:15 |
| nikkia | its not an easy task | 12:15 |
| sproingie | if it's a drop-in replacement, you can use equivs | 12:16 |
| === buz [~buz@217-162-128-90.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| sproingie | if you build it as an equiv, you should make it a package | 12:16 |
| crimsun | equivs should not be used unless a dire emergency | 12:16 |
| sproingie | er, what's the mechanism then that does all that indirection for sendmail? | 12:17 |
| sproingie | that's not an equiv | 12:17 |
| nikkia | sproingie: surely that still requires replacing the package structure, since you have to replace all of the various components of gimpprint | 12:18 |
| nikkia | and remember {,k}ubuntu-desktop depends on them all | 12:18 |
| nikkia | replacing=replicating | 12:19 |
| nikkia | oh, and it means building CUPS that is gutenprint aware :) | 12:19 |
| sproingie | if it's not a complete dropin replacement, it'll be painful to manage the replacement on any distro | 12:20 |
| sproingie | and debian is not the most friendly toward user substitutions | 12:20 |
| nikkia | sproingie: i haven't seen any sign that gutenprint is scheduled to replace gimpprint even in breezy, altho in fairness, gutenprint is still 'beta' | 12:22 |

| epiloc | what kind of router? | 02:25 |
| _nikkia | as in, if i restart vmware, bang, if i boot my xbox, bang, if i plug in the network card on my laptop, bang | 02:25 |
| _nikkia | which sounds like...more than 1 dhcpd on the lan | 02:25 |
| livekubuntu | ouch, linksys? | 02:25 |
| _nikkia | livekubuntu: yeah | 02:25 |
| _nikkia | livekubuntu: however, i suspect vmware is the cause | 02:25 |
| pawitp | turn off that func and use penguin power instead!! | 02:25 |
| _nikkia | vmware installs a dhcp for each vmnet... | 02:25 |
| _nikkia | pawitp: i don't have any machine atm with a guarenteed uptime to deliver dhcp requests | 02:26 |
| _nikkia | its one of the things that is getting migrated onto the shuttle that my boss is buying me | 02:26 |
| livekubuntu | I run a similar config to yours in one of my boxes: WinXP + VMWare 5 + local nets with bridged networking, dhcp works fine | 02:26 |
| _nikkia | livekubuntu: are you running vmware on a linux host tho ? | 02:26 |
| _nikkia | besides, just because your config is right, doesn't mean my dhcpd's from vmware aren't leaking | 02:27 |
| livekubuntu | no, but I am considering the move right now (I am evaluating ubuntu as the host) | 02:27 |
| _nikkia | more than 1 dhcp server on a network WILL kill it | 02:27 |
| livekubuntu | nikkia, true | 02:27 |
| _nikkia | if my dhcp's are leaking to eth0 then it will be the cause | 02:27 |

| livekubuntu | then try disabling dhcp on your router | 02:28 |
| _nikkia | livekubuntu: i can't do that | 02:28 |

| cies | wack | 03:19 |
| livekubuntu | but overall is more an endemic Linux problem, pkg hell, BSD ports and now portage do a better job than apt-get, rpms... IMHO | 03:19 |

| aseigo | cies: it requires the header files of libraries it links to, obviously =) | 03:21 |

| aseigo | livekubuntu: ports and portage are more flexible, but have their own set of annoyances =) | 03:21 |
| aseigo | cies: all the way down to what? | 03:22 |
| aarcane | livekubuntu, I agree that Portage does a kickass job, but it has one fatal flaw.. and that's that for most instances, USE flags are unnesecary.... most people use the same CFLAGS, and the last little bit..... It forces everyone to recompile basically the same binaries when 90% of the crashfree optimization comes from CPU specific instructionsets instead of -funroll-loops and -fomit-instructions | 03:22 |

| aarcane | cies, most likely it will in include hell :) | 03:22 |

| === cies now i know why this compiling is so bloody slow | ||
| aarcane | livekubuntu, only reason I prefer (k)ubuntu over gentoo for my girlfriend is she's not programming and as such, it just bloody works | 03:23 |
| livekubuntu | also, in the case of BSD, it is rare to find a broken port, and there are soooo many | 03:24 |
| aarcane | cies, like I said, on a multiuser system, I'd rather have the administrator the only one allowed to log in as root than let all everyone sudo su - in and do whatever they want.. if I set up some apps for my kids and didn't want them getting to "sex" or /media/porn, I wouldn't want them to have root access... make sense ? | 03:25 |
| livekubuntu | aarcane, I have no choice but kubuntu, ONLY 64bit distro that is rock solid on my laptop (R3000+), yeah and I tried FBSD 5.x and even the unstable 6.x branches, for some reason it does better than flat Debian | 03:25 |

| aarcane | livekubuntu, tried gentoo yet ? | 03:26 |
| livekubuntu | aarcane, TRUE, sudo *is* evil | 03:26 |

| livekubuntu | aarcane, yes, tried it, don't want to kill my 5400rpm 2.5 drive yet | 03:26 |
| aarcane | I fried my drive a few times using Gentoo.. | 03:27 |
| aarcane | well.. to be more specific, hdparm, but still | 03:28 |

| livekubuntu | even gave gobolinux a spin, weird little distro, but not bad, maybe in a few more releases | 03:28 |
| aarcane | aseigo, it's the default in kubuntu, isn't it ? | 03:28 |
| aseigo | aarcane: that's not the point of the way ubuntu does it =) you have an admin group, the first user added is added to it automatically for fairly obvious reasons, but you don't have to add everyone =) | 03:28 |
| aarcane | aseigo, aha, I guess that makes a bit of sense, but still I prefer to have a root password over using user passwords.. | 03:29 |
| aarcane | aseigo, I'd go a long way to increase security beyond just letting one group sudo | 03:29 |
| aseigo | aarcane: the nice thing is that if you want to revoke root access to someone, you don't have to change the password for everyone | 03:29 |
| aarcane | aseigo, too true | 03:30 |
| aseigo | aarcane: well, you can if you want. | 03:30 |
| aseigo | (have various sudo groups) | 03:30 |
| === cies gets crazy | ||
| aseigo | this is just the default.. sort of a happy medium | 03:30 |
| === aseigo wathces cies hit the dance floor | ||
| aarcane | aseigo, yeah.. the way kubuntu does it now ain't too bad, but root still needs a bloody good password.. | 03:30 |
| cies | isnt there an option to have apt-get automagically downgrade all it needs to downgrade in order to install what i ask | 03:30 |
| livekubuntu | cies, dude, thought you wanted full manual power ;) | 03:31 |
| aarcane | cies, sudo apt-get downgrade && sudo apt-get dist-downgrade ? | 03:31 |
| aarcane | cies, should take you back to version 0.0.0-0 of every app and a bare drive | 03:32 |
| thoreauputic | aarcane: erm... I hope that was intended as a joke | 03:32 |
| cies | thanks for beeing so responsively helpfull guys | 03:32 |
| cies | its really appreciated | 03:32 |
| aarcane | thoreauputic, it was in fact. how'd you guess ? | 03:32 |
| aarcane | damnit, I hate when my girlfriend is at work.. | 03:33 |
| thoreauputic | aarcane: :) I've seen that kind of thing suggested seriously, believe it or not | 03:33 |
| aarcane | I always have issues with the power cord not getting plugged back in | 03:33 |
| aarcane | thoreauputic, lol, wow.. newbies ? | 03:33 |
| livekubuntu | aarcane, it is that annoying extra pin, shave it off | 03:33 |
| === cies finds aarcane makes a joke with the downgrade | ||

| thoreauputic | aarcane: well, yeah.... either that or people who know, just trolling ;) | 03:34 |

| livekubuntu | we need to get to that point | 03:34 |
| aarcane | thoreauputic, a bit of both.. though it was meant as sincere humor, I have a bad habit of making too many snotty sarcastic jokes without meaning too | 03:34 |
| cies | aarcane: hmmm... 'invalid operation'... maybe i made a mistake | 03:35 |
| aarcane | cies, there is no downgrade or dist-downgrade.. it was a bad joke | 03:35 |
| cies | aarcane: no it was a bad one | 03:35 |
| cies | wasnt | 03:35 |
| cies | i had to lagh | 03:35 |
| aarcane | livekubuntu, I actually just forget to plug the wire in.. she usually reminds me | 03:36 |
| thoreauputic | aarcane: write a script that responds to dist-downgrade by automagically installing win XP | 03:36 |
| thoreauputic | ;) | 03:36 |
| cies | but i remain irritated with the difficulty i have with getting it working | 03:36 |

| aarcane | could install redhat maybe.. | 03:38 |

| thoreauputic | heheh | 03:38 |
| livekubuntu | haven't tried it sice 10, spiffy, and UNSTABLE | 03:40 |
| stibby | mandrake sucks | 03:41 |
| livekubuntu | nice desktop theme though | 03:41 |
| livekubuntu | and installer | 03:41 |
| gdh | wow, irrelevant and irrelevant :) | 03:42 |
| aarcane | heh | 03:42 |
| aarcane | I like the themes I made for kubuntu for my girlfriend | 03:42 |
| gdh | go for three and win a prize ;) | 03:42 |
| livekubuntu | gdh, hey trying to find something positive about it | 03:42 |

| TestMAD | wheres a good place to go to start learning to theme kde? | 03:43 |
| aarcane | TestMAD, I only do colors for it.. ascared to start into pixmapping.. I themed for xfwm4 for a while, and lost way too many nights of sleep | 03:45 |
| livekubuntu | I leave my desktop plain vinilla, only parts I obsesse about are decorations and backdrops (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20894337/) | 03:46 |
| TestMAD | ok..well..im a litestep themer.and was hopin to apply y talent to kde. | 03:46 |
| TestMAD | freeekie dude | 03:46 |
| livekubuntu | nice girls don't press charges | 03:47 |
| aarcane | lol | 03:47 |
| aarcane | I'm on my girlfriend's laptop, so I have to stare at a picture of me all day, and all everything is pink.. | 03:48 |
| TestMAD | heh | 03:48 |
| livekubuntu | aarcane, oh, no!, need a link to the nearest Hello Kitty! SVG iconset? | 03:48 |
| aarcane | I don't really mind.. I'm actually going to spraypaint the case pink for her | 03:49 |
| aarcane | livekubuntu, oooh, nice, she likes hello kitty :D | 03:49 |
| TestMAD | my daughter likes hello kitty | 03:49 |
| aarcane | only issue I'm having with making all everything pink is I can't get the login screen to go pink yet.. it's pink after we log in, but the login screen itsself isn't pink | 03:50 |
| aarcane | I disabled the kubuntu theme so it's just the KDE userlist with prompt and stuff | 03:51 |
| TestMAD | yea..with the way kde looked..i was hopin there would be some really nice themes for it..but i guess i was wrong | 03:52 |
| aarcane | TestMAD, there are | 03:52 |
| aarcane | TestMAD, but there are more for gnome and GTK | 03:53 |
| livekubuntu | stupid Konqueror is frozen | 03:53 |
| TestMAD | i havent found any that made me go "oooooo...look at that" | 03:53 |
| aarcane | TestMAD, in all honesty, KDE is a windows replacement, and gnome is more for the less loosely knit artiste type | 03:53 |
| TestMAD | ive been considering enlightenment | 03:53 |
| TestMAD | its more like LS | 03:53 |
| aarcane | LS ? | 03:54 |
| TestMAD | litestep | 03:54 |
| TestMAD | windows shell replacement | 03:54 |
| aarcane | aha | 03:54 |
| aarcane | livekubuntu, were you serious about those icons ? | 03:54 |
| livekubuntu | aarcane, yeah, I was sure I had seen them a while back either at iconcity or kde-look.org | 03:55 |
| livekubuntu | can't find them now | 03:55 |

| seth_k | [Relic] , mounts should point at something like /dev/hda2, where the letter and number change. you can issue the command "sudo fdisk -l" to see all the partitions | 06:12 |
| [Relic] | so do I just label them /windows and /windows2 or do I wait till after it is installed and try to have it find them then? | 06:15 |
| seth_k | I think it'll have to be after | 06:17 |
| [Relic] | is the mount point just a directory label name for the partition? | 06:18 |

| rem_ | Hey just a simple question how do you open a tgz.gpg file ? | 12:17 |
| incubii | tgz.gpg file is more then likely the hash file to check if you downloaded the tgz file correctly | 12:19 |
| incubii | you would need gpg to make use of the file though | 12:19 |
| nikkia | incubii: its a gpg signature for the file | 12:20 |
| rem_ | I downloaded the update of a program which was a 2mb tgz.gpg file -- | 12:20 |
| incubii | well cant help you there as ive never seen a file packaged that way | 12:20 |
| incubii | maybe theres instructions on how to use the file on the site you got it from ? | 12:20 |
| rem_ | i tried gpg --decrypt but it didnt give me anything . | 12:21 |
| rem_ | I havent found any...but I guess ill google it .. | 12:21 |
| velko | rem_: what gives you [code] file myfile.tgz.gpg[/code] ? | 12:22 |
| rem_ | The problem its that its for my firewall ipcop ...and i have to go through the hassle of disconnecting the cables etc, or connect through 56kb modem, so i figured id ask here first. I cant get any webpages through my firewall anymore .. :( Anyway thanx for help anyway .. | 12:23 |
| rem_ | what do u mean with [code] ? | 12:23 |
| velko | file myfile.tgz.gpg | 12:23 |
| rem_ | this is the file i got: update-1.4.6.tgz.gpg | 12:23 |
| velko | it just separates the command that you have to run from my text | 12:23 |
| incubii | maybe ipcop has an update feature that knows what to do with it | 12:23 |
| rem_ | yeah i just thought about it .. | 12:23 |
| velko | file is the command you have to run | 12:24 |
| rem_ | i guess i have to go through the web interface and cant update it manually through ssh .. | 12:24 |
| rem_ | which is broken, so im good to reinstall ... :( | 12:24 |
| rem_ | ok ..thanx | 12:24 |

| buz | osx uses sudo in a lot of places i think | 04:16 |
| nikkia | i think i first ran into its use in around '93 | 04:16 |

| apokryphos | nikkia: my workmate's neice was in the resort that got bombed. She was getting really worried, but luckily she was ok. Disturbing stuff. | 04:40 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: exactly. The "shoot to kill" policy; found it odd taht he was shot *five* times. When I ever hear that someone was shot five times in the head, I think "serious murder; x sure must have vehemently hated y" | 04:41 |
| apokryphos | most people now are saying that he was running away and they shot him? | 04:42 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: no, the official line is still that 'he tripped, and was shot' | 04:42 |
| nikkia | i still can't see how that's better than telling the truth | 04:42 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: any idea if he was shot by multiple officers? | 04:43 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: i dunno | 04:43 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: if he was shot 5 times, then either it was multiple shooters, or they'd shot at him in pursuit and missed | 04:44 |
| nikkia | because if you're that worked up that you loose 5 rounds into someone, you're gonna empty the clip | 04:44 |

| nikkia | apokryphos: but i add, that they must have shot at him while he was running, because if you seriously want someone dead, you shoot until the hammer hits air | 04:46 |

| apokryphos | I can perhaps see why someone would, but I really think I wouldn't. | 04:48 |
| apokryphos | a lot of people would "freeze", too | 04:49 |
| dazza | flight or fight reaction, mind makes a split-second decision that it can't take on a dozen armed officers, person runs | 04:49 |
| nikkia | dazza, *nod* | 04:49 |
| apokryphos | dazza: in theory, yes. But people freeze in situations like that, or people don't lose their ability to reason. | 04:49 |
| dazza | apokryphos: some people freeze yes, i agree there. but a disagree that you maintain your ability to reason. some people might, many wouldn't | 04:50 |
| apokryphos | but the guy didn't have armed cops running at him, did he? They were just following him, right? | 04:50 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: its one of the reasons why US cops are seriously trained in their firearms usage, and why UK cops shouldn't just be given guns on a whim | 04:50 |
| apokryphos | dazza: so you do agree :) | 04:50 |
| dazza | apokryphos: i said some people yes | 04:50 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: they aren't =) | 04:50 |
| dazza | apokryphos: depends on the shock factor | 04:50 |
| apokryphos | and on the reasonableness of the person | 04:51 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: the shooter on friday certainly didn't have adequate training, IMO | 04:51 |
| dazza | 'reasonableness' is a fairly arbitrary measure :) | 04:51 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: a trained armed officer doesn't shoot 5 times | 04:51 |
| dazza | do you mean reasonable in every day life? or reasonable in pressure situations? | 04:51 |
| apokryphos | dazza: surely not; reasonableness is displayed when someone displays use of reason | 04:51 |
| dazza | apokryphos: see above :) | 04:52 |
| dazza | apokryphos: and reason would mean something completely different to a terrorist activist than to you and me | 04:52 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: yeah, I agree. He could be an anomaly, though. I'm hardly well-versed in their training methods though | 04:52 |
| dazza | nikkia: perhaps the fear reaction was present in the officers too :) | 04:53 |
| apokryphos | dazza: that's irrelevant. We can't fail to superimpose our reason upon others; and, suffice it to say, when two people are agreed upon what's reasonable it's even clearer | 04:53 |
| apokryphos | dazza: as in, I think most people would agree that if you were innocent you shouldn't run away when armed officers are in pursuit of you | 04:53 |
| apokryphos | dazza: especially when you think they might suspect that you're a suicide bomber, and if you're aware of the shoot to kill principle | 04:53 |
| nikkia | dazza, i suspect it was | 04:53 |
| dazza | apokryphos: we can't *fail* to superimpose our reason? are you saying we must force others to agree with our definition of reason? | 04:54 |
| nikkia | dazza, but then, they haven't been trained properly if that is the case | 04:54 |
| dazza | apokryphos: it's reasonable that people shouldn't litter either, but a lot of people do. is everyone that litters unreasonable? | 04:54 |
| apokryphos | dazza: I think you're missing the point. The whole idea discussed above was that someone is overcome with emotions/instinct and adrenaline; so much so that they can't reason, we said. As I said, a reasonable person in this situation would be a person that didn't lose their ability to reason despite emotions and instincts of adrenaline | 04:55 |
| dazza | apokryphos: if he really was from brazil, perhaps he wasn't aware of the shoot to kill "principle". He might not know the language | 04:55 |
| apokryphos | dazza: you answered your own questoin | 04:55 |
| apokryphos | *question | 04:55 |
| apokryphos | dazza: I agree entirely there | 04:55 |
| apokryphos | dazza: we weren't talking just about this man; as you might check, we moved to a more generalized observation of what a reasonable person does. | 04:56 |
| dazza | apokryphos: no, you made a more generalized observation of what a reasonable person does, and i disagreed with your generalization :) | 04:56 |
| dazza | and i also disagree with your definition of what a reasonable person is | 04:56 |
| apokryphos | dazza: by all means, demonsrate it then. | 04:56 |
| dazza | demonstrate what? | 04:57 |
| apokryphos | dazza: you disagree that a reasonable person is one who uses reason? | 04:57 |
| apokryphos | I'd like to see the definition, then. Surely if a reasonable person is *anything*, he/she is that | 04:57 |
| dazza | apokryphos: yes i disagree. I would define a reasonable person to be someone who may be reasoned with | 04:57 |
| apokryphos | How do you plan on reasoning with someone who can't reason? | 04:58 |
| apokryphos | They go hand-in-hand | 04:58 |
| dazza | apokryphos: 'not using reason' is not the same as 'can't reason' | 04:58 |
| dazza | someone may choose not to use reason at a given time, that makes them unreasonable. that doesn't mean that they never use reason | 04:58 |
| apokryphos | Yes, the distinction between actuality and potentiality. Someone who may be reasoned with is a potentially reasonable person | 04:59 |

| dazza | of course not, but who said that someone who is unreasonable is incapable of reasoning? | 04:59 |
| apokryphos | If someone is unreasonable with regard to a particular situation, then they're not reasoning | 05:00 |
| dazza | not so | 05:00 |
| apokryphos | if someone fails to use reason, then they're being unreasonable, in that situation | 05:00 |
| dazza | they may reason that it is in their best interests to be unreasonable | 05:00 |
| dazza | you are redefining 'unreasonable' as someone who doesn't use reason | 05:01 |
| apokryphos | You're going to get into a whole lot of problems once you start saying that someone can be reasonable by being unreasonable | 05:01 |
| apokryphos | or, let's be more precise -- somenoe can be logical by being illogical | 05:01 |
| dazza | and ignoring the definition whereby unreasonable means unable to be reasoned with, ie not being willing to communicate with you in a reasonable fashion | 05:01 |
| apokryphos | These aren't cases. Meaningful speech presupposes logic | 05:01 |
| dazza | that's a very pretty saying. pray do tell, how does it relate to the argument at hand? | 05:02 |
| apokryphos | dazza: erm, because a person who is illogical in a particular situation is ipso facto not being logical | 05:03 |
| dazza | illogical and unreasonable are not the same thing | 05:03 |
| apokryphos | this all follows from the basic (tautologues) presupposition that being logical is logical | 05:03 |
| apokryphos | dazza: then you're using a different meaning to those words | 05:03 |

| dazza | apokryphos: yes, i did mention that before | 05:04 |
| apokryphos | Fine and dandy; we disagree on semantics. I don't like contradictions, though. A definition defined as a contradiction (i.e. whereby someone can be unreasonable to be reasonable) is quite problematic | 05:05 |
| dazza | yes, you've said that several times in several different ways | 05:06 |
| dazza | and it was all based on your interpretation of something i said about 10 minutes ago | 05:06 |
| === gustave [~gustave@cpe-24-164-176-50.hvc.res.rr.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| apokryphos | so you don't agree that it can be reasonable to be unreasonable, then? | 05:06 |
| dazza | certainly | 05:07 |
| apokryphos | Note that "a reasonable person" is a different thing entirely; "a reasonable person" includes a statement on the summation of a person's character | 05:07 |
| dazza | i think i am being reasonable by continuing this unreasonable discussion :) | 05:07 |
| apokryphos | dazza: that's not the same at all | 05:08 |
| apokryphos | certainly, as in, you don't agree, or certainly, as in you embrace the contradiction? | 05:08 |
| dazza | sorry i don't see what you're comparing that to. a reasonable person is different from what? | 05:08 |
| dazza | that depends which definition of 'reasonable' you are using! | 05:09 |
| apokryphos | the meaning changes when you speak of what's reasonable to do in a particular sitaution, and of "a reasonable person" | 05:09 |
| apokryphos | dazza: I'm going with yours | 05:09 |
| apokryphos | dazza: simple Reductio Ad Absurdum here | 05:09 |
| dazza | apokryphos: then yes, it can be reasonable (to you) to be unreasonable (to another person) | 05:09 |
| dazza | that would be, disagreeing with what they think is reasonable | 05:10 |
| apokryphos | That's not what I'm saying at all; you're changing the perspectives, and changing "the regard to which it's reasonable" | 05:10 |
| === user09 [~user09@202.51.235.209] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| dazza | well in that case, no i disagree with your statement | 05:10 |

| dazza | perhaps you would care to explain it? | 05:11 |

| LuNaTiK^GuY | "checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.3) (headers and libraries) not found." grrrrrrrrrrr grrr HELP!! | 05:12 |
| apokryphos | We're talking about a specific worldview, and an already presupposed particular criterium for being reasonable. It doesn't matter too much if they vary, but I'm saying that if proffer a definitoin whereby it can *actually* be reasonable (this is why I prefer "logical" -- more technical) to be unreasonable, then you've degenerated into a contradiction | 05:12 |
| apokryphos | LuNaTiK^GuY: did you install that package I said? :) | 05:12 |
| LuNaTiK^GuY | yes | 05:12 |
| LuNaTiK^GuY | all of them!!! | 05:12 |
| apokryphos | LuNaTiK^GuY: both libqt3-mt-dev and libqt3c102-mt? | 05:13 |
| dazza | apokryphos: so what you mean by your statement, is that it can be logical to be illogical: that is, you are choosing the definition of reasonable (as logical) for the statement you mentioned | 05:13 |
| LuNaTiK^GuY | YE | 05:14 |
| apokryphos | dazza: close, but I'm saying that it cannot be the case that being logical is illogical, when checked from the same perspective. Denying the law of noncontradiction has serious consequences | 05:14 |

| dazza | so, if that line read: dazza: in theory, yes. But some people freeze in situations like that, or some people don't lose their ability to reason. <-- , then we wouldn't be having this conversation :) | 05:17 |

| dazza | apokryphos: given the context, i took it to mean that *all* people freeze in situations like that, and noone loses their ability to reason | 05:18 |
| apokryphos | dazza: say, there's at least three responses to the situation. You said one was running, I agreed (hence the "sure"), and then I gave others -- those two there | 05:18 |
| LuNaTiK^GuY | so wot do i do??? | 05:18 |
| apokryphos | dazza: I wouldn't have said "sure" then, would I? =) | 05:18 |
| apokryphos | LuNaTiK^GuY: ooo, apokryphos knows! Heh, the path to Qt might not properly be set. | 05:19 |

| dazza | dooglio: no, if the machine has no limits set, any user should be able to bring the system down | 06:01 |

| dooglio | wow | 06:01 |
| === dooglio is scared | ||
| === nikkia sighs | ||
| === LuNaTiK^GuY sulks | ||
| LuNaTiK^GuY | lol | 06:02 |
| _matt_ | hi, does anyone know how to get splashy (or any other splash screen on bootup) working in hoary? | 06:02 |
| dooglio | okay, so here is the next question | 06:02 |
| nikkia | running this regression test against berkeley-db was a bad idea | 06:02 |
| dooglio | where do you set the limits for that? | 06:02 |
| === apokryphos is blown back by Kat's speed | ||
| nikkia | Starting test 90 of 1582 parallel items. Rough guess: 2 hour(s) left. | 06:02 |
| dazza | dooglio: /etc/security/limits.conf | 06:02 |
| dooglio | heh | 06:02 |
| dooglio | shoulda known | 06:02 |
| nikkia | it was '1 hour left' for the first 30-40 tests :/ | 06:03 |
| LuNaTiK^GuY | i'moff for now...cu all l8er! thanks!! | 06:03 |
| dazza | nikkia: looks like you will be here for a good 4hours then! | 06:03 |
| dooglio | go figure that a limit would be set in a file named "limits.conf" | 06:03 |
| dazza | dooglio: sometimes it is buried in the pam config files :) | 06:03 |
| nikkia | dooglio: ubuntu uses PAM, thus PAM should be setting the limits | 06:04 |
| nikkia | when PAM is in use, /etc/limits{,.conf} is no longer used | 06:04 |
| === nxv_an [~nxv_@dialin-145-254-230-103.arcor-ip.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| dooglio | ah | 06:04 |
| nikkia | another win for PAM, since that means you can define different limits based on different user classes | 06:04 |
| dooglio | that is cool | 06:05 |
| dazza | ahh, it is /etc/pam.d/su then | 06:05 |
| dazza | oh wait, no, it is what i said before... | 06:05 |
| dazza | you just need to uncomment a line in /etc/pam.d/su as well | 06:05 |
| nikkia | dazza, i think there'll be default limits for PAM globally, then each module in pam.d can override those limits | 06:05 |
| dazza | nikkia: lets find out :D if i'm not back in 5 mins i've forkbombed my desktop | 06:06 |
| nikkia | dazza: thus a local user can be granted different limits to a remote user, which is cool | 06:06 |
| dooglio | heh | 06:06 |
| nikkia | in particular, you can setup remote users to have a 10s CPU time limit, and relive the 70s :P | 06:06 |
| === dooglio discos | ||
| dooglio | so...where does one find this particular limit setting in the many-filed contents of /etc/pam.d | 06:07 |
| nikkia | heh, 10s CPU will just about get you thru 4 minutes of MP3 :P | 06:07 |
| nikkia | that should be enough for most disco songs :P | 06:08 |

| === othernoob [~othernoob@p54A2F7E9.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||

| dooglio | http://forums.designtechnica.com/archive/index.php/t-7510.html | 06:11 |
| dooglio | that is quite appropos | 06:11 |
| dooglio | he lists a python exploit | 06:11 |
| dooglio | so, i guess, if you want to use /etc/security/limits.conf, you need to enable that in pam | 06:12 |
| === Dionys [~anton@mnch-d9ba401c.pool.mediaWays.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| dazza | dooglio: yep, there's a line in the file i mentioned before that you have to uncomment | 06:12 |
| dazza | it's clearly marked | 06:12 |
| dooglio | dazza: yup | 06:12 |
| === dooglio is thinking of trying said python exploit | ||
| dazza | dooglio: better save your work first ;) | 06:13 |
| dooglio | heh | 06:15 |
| dazza | ahh this is what i was looking for: http://www.runme.org/feature/read/+forkbombsh/+47/ | 06:15 |
| dazza | one-liner for bash: you don't even have to put it in a script, just type it and watch your computer die :D | 06:15 |
| nikkia | these tests are taking forever | 06:16 |
| === nikkia ponders killing them | ||
| === dazza thinks murder is a little brutal | ||
| dazza | try suspending them instead :) | 06:16 |
| === dooglio will try that bash exploit on his debian box | ||
| dazza | dooglio: here's something fun to do, run top -d .1 in a separate window when you start the exploit. make sure you can see the load averages when you hit the big red button | 06:20 |
| dooglio | ...if i can ever get it to boot, that is | 06:20 |
| dazza | kidna fun to see your cpu load average hit 800... | 06:20 |
| nikkia | dazza, i've seen solaris boxes average that under normal circumstances :P | 06:21 |
| dooglio | wow | 06:22 |
| dooglio | it happened QUICKLY | 06:22 |
| nikkia | (ok, maybe a little exaggerated, but our solaris servers at uni were considered 'unloaded' if they were < 100 in the load :) | 06:22 |
| dazza | nikkia: true, but my desktop is a little different :) | 06:22 |
| dooglio | interesting | 06:23 |
| dooglio | I can still ping the box | 06:23 |
| dazza | nikkia: my 800 was an exxageration also :D it was 300 last time i tried it | 06:23 |
| dazza | dooglio: are the ping times getting longer? | 06:23 |
| dooglio | no, not at all | 06:23 |
| dooglio | but I can't log in | 06:23 |
| dooglio | and on one session, no echo of characters typed | 06:23 |
| dazza | dooglio: looks like the kernel is doing its job, hogging the resources | 06:23 |
| dooglio | heh | 06:24 |
| dooglio | amazing | 06:24 |
| dooglio | the ping time is 0.2 ms | 06:24 |
| dooglio | 64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=45 ttl=64 time=0.1 ms | 06:24 |
| nikkia | again, perfectly normal for solaris :P | 06:24 |
| dooglio | ah! | 06:24 |
| dooglio | Out of Memory: Killed process 5147 (bash) | 06:24 |
| dooglio | over and over again, but with a different process number each time (obviously) | 06:25 |
| nikkia | thats ok, it probably took large chunks of the kernel out before it decided to kill the bash process :P | 06:25 |
| dazza | nikkia: the sgi boxes at my uni have 8megs of cache per cpu... if i had 8megs of cache i could probably push the load a little higher too :) | 06:25 |
| dazza | (that's L2 cache) | 06:25 |
| dooglio | damn | 06:25 |
| dooglio | that is a elegant exploit, for sure | 06:25 |
| dooglio | no way out | 06:25 |
| nikkia | dazza, just buy some IA64s :) | 06:25 |
| nikkia | dazza, i think intel even have a 32MB L2 option | 06:25 |
| === dooglio reboots his debian box | ||
| === nikkia glares suspiciously at the python source code | ||
| nikkia | it took less than a minute to build? /me does not believe! | 06:27 |
| dazza | dooglio: there are others that can dirty your ram instead of mass-producing processes, those wreak havoc with the vm system and avoid process limits :) | 06:27 |
| === dooglio would imagine so | ||
| dazza | nikkia: hmm seems like i've gotta check in on the newest developments in CPU-world :) i'm out of touch | 06:27 |
| nikkia | dazza, i really like the itanium 2, but noone sells barebones or anything like that :/ | 06:28 |
| nikkia | ah, no, its L3 on the IA64 that goes up to 9MB | 06:28 |
| dazza | ahh | 06:29 |
| dazza | nevertheless, quite impressive :) | 06:29 |
| gdh | <nod> Not a IA64 system, but the Xeons in our new quad-CPU dell box have 8M L3 | 06:29 |
| gdh | and the performance is very disappointing :( | 06:29 |
| === onewing [~distrust@blk-222-100-205.eastlink.ca] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| nikkia | the IA64 has an obscene number of registers too | 06:30 |
| === dooglio sets up an nproc limit of 500 | ||
| dazza | gdh: what does the box do? | 06:30 |
| gdh | I have lots more tests to run next week - one of which will doubtless be installing RHEL / CentOS so Dell know I'm running an 'approved OS' (wankers) | 06:30 |
| dooglio | tries the exploit again | 06:30 |
| nikkia | i think it works out to be something like 768 registers, when you add them all up | 06:30 |
| gdh | dazza: Nothing yet - is going to be a big mysql box | 06:30 |
| onewing | is there any way to get synaptic to ignore broken packages? | 06:30 |
| gdh | bbiab | 06:30 |
| dazza | dooglio: now you can DoS your personal account! try running the exploit then starting new processes under the same username :) | 06:31 |
| nikkia | gdh, i hope you're not planning on running J2EE on there :P | 06:32 |
| === Dionys [~anton@mnch-d9ba401c.pool.mediaWays.net] has left #kubuntu ["Konversation] | ||
| dazza | in fact, if you set a process limit for the machine overall, you will get the same effect... will probably be almost as bad as the exploit itself :) | 06:33 |
| nikkia | gdh, as sun has goofed, again, the current build of J2EE won't install on the current RHEL - even though RHEL is the only OS sun let you install on :P | 06:33 |
| dooglio | wow | 06:33 |
| dooglio | even with an nproc limit of 500, my system still locks up tight | 06:33 |
| dazza | dooglio: did you restart? process limits might not be in effect yet... | 06:34 |
| gdh | nikkia: No this is a dedicated mysql-only box.. that, sshd and an snmpd :) | 06:34 |
| dazza | i dunno what you have to do to get pam to reload its config... but rebooting will do it :) | 06:34 |

| dazza | gdh: takes a lot of traffic tho? | 06:35 |
| gdh | dazza: Not at the moment - I want this box to last 5 years tho :) | 06:35 |
| nikkia | dooglio: no, something else i wanted to install depended on python | 06:35 |
| gdh | dazza: Basically I saw better performance on a dell 1850 than the 6850 :/ | 06:36 |
| === dooglio wonders if he should reduce the proc limit | ||
| dazza | gdh: ahh. still much bigger than the boxen i work on :) 50MB dataset, mysql shares cpu-time with other services on a sempron-based pc :) | 06:36 |

| buz | but not by default i thought | 07:28 |
| onewing | does anyone know why konqueror would hang my whole system when i run it as root? | 07:28 |
| buz | would be kinda stupid to insist on using it | 07:28 |
| onewing | or what i could do to try to get out of a hang? | 07:28 |
| nikkia | buz, mysql will be a requirement at some point anyway, makes sense to compile Qt with support for it now | 07:28 |
| buz | granted | 07:28 |
| apokryphos | onewing: try pressing Enter when it does that. Or, are you running it in "File Manager" mode, and not web browser mode? | 07:29 |

| error403 | thanks apokryphos, ill take a look | 07:46 |
| apokryphos | Dionys: heh, no worries. You'll need to change the style, window decoration, mainly, most likely | 07:47 |
| apokryphos | Changing the whole "theme" would be ideal, but that's not working you say? | 07:47 |

| apokryphos | Dionys: does it successfully change to others? | 07:48 |
| Dionys | yes, | 07:48 |

| apokryphos | !rootsudo | 07:49 |
| ubotu | I heard rootsudo is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo | 07:49 |
| Dionys | no, I think it should be the default, isn't it? | 07:49 |
| gdh | so if you want to edit your apt.sources, you'd do 'sudo vi /etc/apt/souces.list' etc. | 07:49 |
| apokryphos | Dionys: sudo apt-get install kde-style-lipstik | 07:49 |

| apokryphos | Dionys: can you change to other themes, or is the kde default the only one it doesn't let you change to? | 07:51 |
| Dionys | where? | 07:51 |

| apokryphos | you could try sudo apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-default-settings ; sudo apt-get install kubuntu-default-settings | 07:59 |
| apokryphos | Questionable if that'll work actually, since it may just ignore the default settings the pack brings if it sees that you manually selected others | 07:59 |

| gdh | rename ~/.kde to ~/.kde_old, then ctrl-alt-backspace? :) | 08:00 |

| apokryphos | mats: yuck :P | 09:19 |
| mats | or something like that | 09:19 |
| apokryphos | insanekane: Rand is a Philosopher, even if you think she's a pseudo one. Objectivism is a Philosophical theory | 09:19 |

| insanekane | apokryphos: but, i wouldn't call Organic chemistry, a philosophy | 09:24 |
| error403 | apokryphos, ill try that one... | 09:24 |
| apokryphos | insanekane: everything really isn't Philosophy. And we don't have to go "just by definitions". We have shared understandings for things like this | 09:25 |
| insanekane | apokryphos: the problem with Rand, and with Communism, is that it requires everyone to behave in a certain way ... it just doesn't work that way. | 09:25 |
| apokryphos | insanekane: Science differs from Philosophy in that science works and concentrates upon manipulating and observing things within a given closed environment | 09:25 |
| insanekane | apokryphos: science differs from philosophy only in one point: the scientific method. | 09:26 |

| ValheruLord | marsh, select them come here and click right and left together | 10:25 |
| gdh | marsh: if you triple-click you will be able to select the lines | 10:26 |
| gdh | then paste witht he middle mouse button | 10:26 |
| marsh | eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:B7:06:64:2D | 10:26 |
| marsh | inet6 addr: fe80::2d0:b7ff:fe06:642d/64 Scope:Link | 10:27 |
| marsh | Hehehe - kde's good eh? | 10:27 |
| marsh | thanks ValheruLord | 10:27 |
| marsh | but no IP address, as you can see... >:( | 10:28 |
| marsh | (although i have no idea what that inet6 address is... | 10:28 |
| gdh | the inet6 addrses is ignorable :) | 10:28 |
| ValheruLord | you can learn your ip | 10:28 |

| ValheruLord | www.whatismyip.com | 10:29 |
| gdh | That assumes the machine in question has Internet access... and that site is only going to show the address of the router /ip masq box sharing access | 10:29 |
| gdh | marsh: sounds like you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and set the 'eth0' block to be static rather than dhcp | 10:30 |
| gdh | marsh: see 'man interfaces' for a sample of teh syntax you need | 10:30 |
| marsh | gdh - hang on... I just realised that the 'config network' box in question is trying to configure inet access & I'm after local network configuring | 10:30 |
| marsh | gdh - i got ya! | 10:31 |
| marsh | gdh - thanks mate :) | 10:31 |
| gdh | marsh: They're one and the same thing .... you need to set an address on the LAN to be able to get internet access, too :) | 10:31 |
| marsh | I'll go check it out | 10:31 |
| marsh | gdh - cheers - i got the net acces on eth1, so eth0 is free to local network... | 10:33 |
| marsh | back in a bit... | 10:33 |
| gdh | ahh :) | 10:34 |
| ilba7r | hi i just got tired searching on gmail. Is there a spell checker in linux that check double words in a doc | 10:36 |
| ilba7r | aspell does not do it | 10:36 |

| marsh | I dont have permissions to edit interface, ad don't want to constantly open a new window & use vi when I could (possibly) use konqueror to edit a file that needs root permisions | 10:52 |
| gdh | marsh: Right click on the file -> Actions -> Edit as root | 10:52 |
| marsh | gdh. ;) | 10:52 |
| marsh | gdh :( - none of the authentication protocols specified are supported & host based authentication failed :( | 10:54 |
