| al12gamer | I got Ubuntu running on my cr-48 :) | 00:45 |
|---|---|---|
| Cheri703 | yay | 00:45 |
| al12gamer | anyone else here get one? | 00:46 |
| al12gamer | However I used the easy scripted method.......http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.com/2010/12/easy-way-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-cr.html | 00:46 |
| al12gamer | I hate that we're forced to use Windows Vista in our highschool. I'm on my vista machine right now. I'd rather be on my Ubuntu 10.10 cr-48 or my Fedora 14 desktop | 00:47 |
| al12gamer | Why can't schools just go open source? Our Java teacher agrees with me and asks them every year to switch to Linux. We'd save $1000 the first year, if not more. | 00:47 |
| al12gamer | Anyway, feel free to check out my blog http://technation.tumblr.com sometime, perhaps that'd be an easy way to communicate. I'll be on here later or another day in the future | 00:50 |
| Cheri703 | hmm...ok | 01:17 |
| lostConnection | if I downloaded a .tar.gz file do I just have to type something like "sudo install" to install it? Sorry still getting used to terminal commands | 03:40 |
| Cheri703 | uhm....I can never remember | 03:41 |
| canthus13 | lostConnection: You usually have to extract it into a folder first. | 03:42 |
| canthus13 | then you read the README. | 03:42 |
| canthus13 | then follow the directions in the README. | 03:42 |
| lostConnection | hahaha lol it doesn't have a README is some software that my professor has created in his research | 03:43 |
| canthus13 | I'd ask him, then. Is there a makefile? | 03:46 |
| canthus13 | ...or a .bin or .run? | 03:46 |
| lostConnection | oh wow I guess there was already an executable in the compressed folder. | 03:49 |
| lostConnection | I don't know exactly what I'm looking at but I'm getting somewhere now. | 03:49 |
| canthus13 | extract the file, chmod +x <filename>, then ./<filename from the folder it's in. | 03:51 |
| canthus13 | that should execute it. | 03:51 |
| lostConnection | hmm.. well I guess I never really knew exactly what this is supposed to do. When I ran it with ./ it just left me with a blankscreen so I can only assume that it is running. | 03:54 |
| lostConnection | I guess it is some kind of mark up language. Really all of this is over my head at this point. I'm just trying to toy around with it. It's called src2srcml he has it distributed online. | 03:57 |
| canthus13 | lostConnection: http://www.sdml.info/projects/srcml/beta/src2srcml.html | 04:31 |
| canthus13 | lostConnection: that's the manpage. | 04:32 |
| lostConnection | well damn I didn't even find this in the little bit of scanning I did on his site. This is definitely better than all of the stuff that I found on the site. | 04:37 |
| canthus13 | Heh. | 04:37 |
| thafreak | whoa....who was asking about srcml??? | 16:57 |
| thafreak | I'm pretty sure that was developed here at kent... | 16:57 |
| thafreak | interesting | 16:57 |
| thafreak | Hey ReLoco leads... | 17:00 |
| thafreak | I've got a few older machines...and I'd like to get them into the hands of some kids who want to tinker, but have no spare hardware | 17:01 |
| thafreak | Do any of you know of such up and coming linux users in your loco? | 17:01 |
| canthus13 | thafreak: Only my kids, and I'm up to my ears in spare hardware. | 17:11 |
| canthus13 | I'll keep an eye out, though. | 17:11 |
| thafreak | well, yeah I knew you were in the same boat as me, or very similar... :) | 17:12 |
| canthus13 | Heh. | 17:12 |
| thafreak | I'm probably going to get my basement down to two embedded boards, two vm servers, and that might be it (besides switches) | 17:13 |
| canthus13 | I've only got 3 machines running in my basement, and one is my kid's sauerbraten server. | 17:13 |
| thafreak | decided to not have a dedicated storage system, but throw disks in the new vm host, and have a virtual file server...not like performance is uber crucial in my basement :_ | 17:13 |
| thafreak | :) | 17:13 |
| canthus13 | Heh. I've got my file server, my web/mail/shell server, and that sauerbraten server (which I also use to burn CDs because the burner on my laptop has decided it doesn't like to burn.) | 17:14 |
| thafreak | nice... | 17:15 |
| thafreak | I still have other machines, but those are elsewhere in the house, and turned off most of the time (hopefully) | 17:15 |
| canthus13 | I'm thinking about upping the memory and tossing a qaud-core into it and making it do dual duty as a freenx server as well. | 17:15 |
| thafreak | quad core, make it a vm host man | 17:16 |
| canthus13 | Oh. Heh. My oldest has a laptop, my youngest has a desktop, my wife has a laptop. | 17:16 |
| canthus13 | If I find a need for a VM host. | 17:16 |
| thafreak | My old one is only a dual core athlon, with 4gb of ram, and it does virtual desktops plus everything else fine | 17:16 |
| thafreak | well, nxserver from nomahchine did eat a lot of CPU...and memory... | 17:17 |
| canthus13 | right now my laptop is serving up FreeNX so I can use it from work... I'd like to shift that duty over to another machine. | 17:17 |
| thafreak | never used freenx much... | 17:17 |
| canthus13 | Really? Mine uses practically nothing. | 17:17 |
| canthus13 | Even with two users logged in, the only CPU hog is plugin-container. | 17:18 |
| thafreak | I even separated it out at one point, had a machine run just the nx server from no machine, and ran the desktop on a separate vm | 17:18 |
| thafreak | interesting, so you use freenx from ppa, or compiled from source? | 17:18 |
| canthus13 | thafreak: Umm... ppa. | 18:44 |
| canthus13 | ...I think. | 18:49 |
| canthus13 | thafreak: I used this guide. | 18:49 |

| Unit193 | 3 instances of VLC, 2 sound cards and 2 sets of earbuds... | 20:30 |
| canthus13 | Unit193: how many ears do you have? | 21:04 |
| * Cheri703 just reassembled client's zune and is praying it works | 22:42 | |
| Cheri703 | hey canthus13 | 22:43 |
| Unit193 | canthus13: 2 people | 22:44 |
| Cheri703 | ? | 22:44 |
| canthus13 | 2 people? | 22:44 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: Hey.. freaking server dropped offline. :( | 22:44 |
| Cheri703 | no good | 22:44 |
| canthus13 | Yeah... | 22:44 |
| Cheri703 | at least you know where it is ;) | 22:44 |
| Unit193 | canthus13: not 4 ears.... | 22:44 |
| canthus13 | Oh. Ok. | 22:45 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: True. | 22:45 |
| canthus13 | I'm hoping a cable came loose... I was doing some rearranging down there yesterday. | 22:45 |
| Cheri703 | I just put my client's zune back together...had to solder on new battery, hoping I didn't kill anything -_- it's charging now | 22:47 |
| canthus13 | cool... | 22:48 |
| * Cheri703 is always nervous when soldering on boards...I think I bumped the chip with the soldering iron...not extensively, just....frightened | 22:49 | |
| Cheri703 | it is working! | 23:40 |
| Cheri703 | hooray | 23:40 |
| Cheri703 | it didn't at first, but now it is :) | 23:40 |
