jgouldhey shaunm02:34
jgouldstupid broadcom02:34
jgouldSo,  I'm thinking about reinstalling as I've done *something to make this very unstable...02:39
Cheri703heh, I know that feeling jgould02:40
TheErkHello Shaunm02:40
TheErkAnd to answer your first question, i am in the cincy area02:40
Unit193TheErk: Are you Cincy lead?02:40
TheErkUsed to be.02:41
TheErkAnd as no one stepped up would be happy to be again02:41
shaunmthere's an open source documentation conference in cincy next month. there'll be some ubuntu folks, as well as gnome, firefox, and some other projects02:45
* jgould grabs his Xubuntu 64bit disk02:45
shaunmI just through I'd spread the word to local groups02:45
TheErkOoo nice02:45
shaunm(also tried to get info on the clug, but their website seems very inactive)02:45
shaunmopenhelpconference.com02:47
jgouldNow  lets see if i can get this to all work again...02:47
jgouldAnyone know what the EFI boot 'disk' does on the Xubutnu dick?02:48
TheErkHaven't heard from CLUG in forever02:48
jgoulder disk02:48
shaunmTheErk: do they exist anymore?02:49

* jgould throws big heavy things at Broadcom03:11
canthus13beh.03:11
* canthus13 lurves his broadcom stuff. (Well, most of it.. the 4306 is a bit flakey, but it doesn't have official linux drivers.)03:12
jgouldhow do you have it working?03:12
canthus13jgould: my 4311 and 4312 just work.03:13
* canthus13 switched his 4312 for an Atheros chipset because the STA drivers don't do injection, but still.03:14
jgouldThis chipset my wireless has must be brand spanking new03:14
canthus13What chipset?03:14
jgould433103:14
canthus134331? Or 4313?03:15
canthus13http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php03:15
jgould4331.  The STA drivers won't work03:15
canthus13http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/6637703:16
canthus13None yet.03:16
canthus13..and no support in b43 or brcm80211.03:17
jgouldNot yet,  I have faith in the communty though03:19
canthus13Keep pestering broadcom. I don't think they expected demand for a chip that only Apple uses.03:19
jgouldexactly03:20
canthus13Oh.  bcrm80211 may have something in the pipeline...03:21
canthus13http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.bcm54xx.devel/1152603:21
* jgould reads03:25
* jgould ponders03:30
jgouldDarn.  The chip from my 09 MacBook won't fit03:33
jgould /end fit of inspiration....03:36
canthus13Need a half-height?03:40
canthus13Or are the cards rigged so that only apple-approved cards will work, kinda like HP?03:41
jgouldthe latter03:41
canthus13Ah. Fuckers.03:41
jgouldhttp://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/MIYRQcks54DunO3k.huge03:42
jgouldMy MacBook from 2006 actually used a minipci card03:42
canthus13oh. That's screwed up.03:44
jgouldyeah.  I have faith in the community though.03:44
canthus13I'm sure someone will come up with something. :)03:45
jgouldSo am I03:45
jgouldHmmm.... The mirrors seem to be running slow03:46
jgoulddoes it prefer eth0 over anything else when there are multiple network interfaces?03:47
canthus13Probably.03:51
canthus13..Unless you set routing to prefer a different interface, anyway.03:52
jgouldThis time, I put /home on on it's own partition03:55
canthus13good idea.03:56
dmcglone1Hi all03:56
canthus13dmcglone1: Eh? I am *NOT*!!03:58
dmcglone1Huh?03:58
canthus13dmcglone1: hi.04:00
canthus13hi(gh)04:00
canthus13Cheri703: all packed and ready?04:00
Cheri703working on it :)04:01
canthus13Heh.04:01
Unit193canthus13: Haha! I do that ALL the time!04:02
dmcglone1Ah gotcha canthus1304:02
canthus13Unit193: get high?04:03
* dmcglone1 doesn't smoke04:03
jgouldAfter enabling the ppa as shown above you can add this tool with the following command:  <-- The PPA is nowhere on this page...04:03
* canthus13 quit years and years ago.04:03
Unit193canthus13: No! That joke04:03
canthus13jgould: Heh.04:03
canthus13Unit193: Ah. :)04:03
* dmcglone1 did it one time, got so high I freaked out, never smoked it again :-)04:04
dmcglone1I turned to getting high off of hackin ;-)04:05
dmcglone1not the kind of hackin your thinking04:05
dmcglone1I'm talking about the hackin (caughing) until you get light headed from smoking too much04:06
dmcglone1:-)04:06
jgouldI'll be editing the page to include the URL for the PPA..04:08
dmcglone1are things working good for you now04:10
dmcglone1jgould:04:10
jgouldI just reinstalled. was having really random problems04:10
Unit193You now have Xubuntu 64B?04:11
dmcglone1this seems like it's a nightmare for you jgould04:11
dmcglone1how long you been using linux?04:11
jgouldas a desktop OS?  Since Natty relased04:12
jgouldas a Server OS, for about 3 years04:12
canthus13jgould: So you've never used a 'good' version of ubuntu? :)04:12
dmcglone1Unit193: I forgot to tell you  that the fstab line example I sent you doesn't auto mount04:12
* canthus13 is liking Maverick.04:13
* dmcglone1 is loving Gnome304:13
jgouldServer is running 10.04 LTS04:14
canthus13dmcglone1: I haven't been able to get it working well enough to decide.04:14
* canthus13 has tried with Natty and Debian unstable.04:14
dmcglone1heck it worked out of the box for me just about04:14
dmcglone1I installed Gnome 10.10 and upgraded to Gnome 304:14
dmcglone1oops04:14
dmcglone1Ubuntu 10.1004:15
dmcglone1it rocks!04:15
dmcglone1even my  wife is loving it1`04:15
dmcglone1!04:15
jgoulddmcglone1: Rememeber this is a machine that was crafted to run one OS, Windows even runs quirky on it04:19
dmcglone1Good to know because I'll never buy a Mac now04:20
Unit193If you find the right one....04:20
jgouldI'll eventually hit the right combo.  You can bend it to your will. XD04:23
dmcglone1why go to that hassle when  PC works out of the box04:23
Unit193dmcglone1: Not all do04:24
dmcglone1I've never had one that doesn't04:24
dmcglone1I'll be  back in a sec04:25
jgouldI have...04:25
jgouldI've had more PC's that I've just given up on with linux than the Mac...04:27
canthus13jgould: direct from an apple dev: You're prolly SOL on that driver unless bcrm80211 manages to get it working as b43 has no plans for it.04:28
dmcglone1Ok Unit193, here's a better fstab version:04:30
dmcglone1//192.168.2.2/Documents/home/david/Documents cifs credentials=/home/david/credentials auto,user 0 004:30
dmcglone1in the credentials file put: user=(username) and on a new line put password=(your password) and stick it in your ~04:31
dmcglone1drop the parenthesis04:31
Unit193dmcglone1: I got that part (I have it in so I can just run a script at startup)04:32
dmcglone1Ah cool04:32
Unit193I was just too lazy to bother with the fstab part...04:33
dmcglone1I like mine done before I log in, I'm lazy ;-)04:33
dmcglone1I hear ya04:33
* canthus13 needs to work out how to get his wireless to connect before login. :/04:33
canthus13I'd like to be able to reboot my lappy over ssh and have it come back.04:34
Unit193With how much I reboot, it's easy to just forget about it04:34
dmcglone1canthus13: stick it in /etc/network/interfaces04:34
canthus13yeah.. I just need to figure out arguments.04:34
dmcglone1canthus13: wireless?04:35
dmcglone1or is it wired?04:35
canthus13wireless.04:35
canthus13I found it.. Now, will network manager play nice with it?04:35
dmcglone1it should04:36
dmcglone1do you know the arguments?04:37
canthus13Yup. I got 'em. :)  But there might be an easier way...04:38
dmcglone1I always dump network manager and use ifup/down04:39
canthus13network manager is nicer for connecting to different networks. :)04:40
dmcglone1I do use it for that04:41
dmcglone1I don't use ifup/down on my netbook though, only on my server. I don't need it on my netbook or laptop04:42
canthus13My laptop doubles as my FreeNX server, though.04:42
dmcglone1I see04:42
dmcglone1I have an HP Media Center for my server04:43
dmcglone1it's got 2 150 Gig internal drives and a 1 TB external drive04:44
dmcglone1well I'm out for the night. Night all :-)05:02
jgould*grumble*05:05
jgouldI'm about to give up...05:07
* BiosElement yawns05:15
Unit193BiosElement: Wake up! You still have HOURS to go!05:23
BiosElementI do? >.>05:23
Unit193Yep. You have to stay up 'til 4am05:25
BiosElementHaha05:26
BiosElementI'm gonna have a migraine by then, working on an apps framework for pyramid.05:27
BiosElementAnd wow...05:29
BiosElementSo twitter uses ruby on rails...and has basically rewritten the core of rails to get enough speed out of it >.>05:29
BiosElementMaybe it's just me, but that kinda defeats the point.05:30
Unit193"Seemed like a good idea at the time"05:30
BiosElementHeh, it usually does05:31
BiosElementAnd amusing thing today for me05:32
BiosElementI found yet another site, pretty popular one at that, that stores passwords in plaintext.05:32
* BiosElement almost cried when he found this out05:32
Unit193How did you find this out? What one?05:32
BiosElementwww.die2nite.com05:33
BiosElementIf you recover your password, it'll email you your pass in plain text05:33
BiosElementMeaning it's not hashed serverside.05:33
BiosElementAs a side note, I can't login with my 32char pass, so their entire login system is screwey.05:33
Unit193Never heard of it...05:33
Unit193Belkin is so bad...05:34
BiosElementIt only launched in December, but it's somewhat popular.05:34
BiosElement"Motion Twin is one of the leading providers of online games for the French-speaking public. Created in 2001, the company has more than 10 million registered players."05:34
BiosElement^So they store over 10mil players passwords unhashed. Awesome. Someone get me my black hat. >.>05:35
Unit193Blasted logs are driving me crazy....05:39
Unit193drm:intel_prepare_page_flip No idea what that is...05:40
jgouldIt's getting ready to flip the page05:41
BiosElementUnit193: What's it matter? Doesn't look like a problem.05:42
jgouldwhat graphics chipset, Unit19305:42
Unit193I need to disable logging...05:42
BiosElementWhy?05:43
Unit193BiosElement: It's a problem when it makes me run out of disk space!!05:43
Unit193kern.log was 15G syslog.1 was also 15G (Add in the rest and the computer is full!)05:43
BiosElementUnit193: They can't be that big. If they are you an always cron them very few days.05:44
BiosElementYou have bigger problems then diskspace then.05:44
BiosElementHow old is the install?05:44
Unit193This is Natty (Beta 2 updated)05:44
BiosElementYou probably want to run fsck.05:45
BiosElementUnit193: Running intel wireless?05:46
Unit193BiosElement: Wired05:46
BiosElementFrom my poking around, looks like the probable cause is a piece of hardware is working wrong and logging like crazy05:47
Unit193That would be my guess...05:48
Unit193But I don't know...05:48
BiosElementnano through some of the log files and see if there's a pattern or anything that stands out.05:49
Unit193I had to kill both of them05:49
BiosElementMy guess is it's probably being spammed to hell by a group of similar lines.05:49
Unit193cat told me yes (I did that before killing them)05:50
BiosElementnano 'should' be able to crack open even a huge 18gb file05:50
BiosElementOr you can always tail it to see05:50
BiosElementUnit193: less should also be able to open basically anything05:51
Unit193It was full of the line (plus some) I pasted (this time and last)05:53
BiosElementUnit193: use xbmc by any chance?05:53
Cheri703I can never remember: which is the best format (NOT ntfs) if I want to read files on windows AND linux?05:54
Unit193BiosElement: Nope05:54
Cheri703*filesystem = format05:54
Unit193Fat32?05:54
BiosElementCheri703: ntfs or fat32 are about all windows will read. HOWEVER I'd recommend just installing the drivers to read ext4 on win if it's your system05:54
Cheri703hmmm...that may work05:55
BiosElementUnit193: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/76581305:55
Cheri703I'm reformatting my external hdd05:55
BiosElementUnit193: Just to confirm, creating a drirc file with vblank_mode=0 as per the freedesktop thread does indeed suppress the error message.05:55
BiosElement^Per a comment05:55
BiosElementPer https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3065405:55
Unit193BiosElement: Thanks! (I was just complaining about it ;) )05:59
BiosElementHeh, give it a shot, I suspect it'll work fine06:00
Unit193Now if I did that correctly...06:06
* jgould grumble grumble06:07
Unit193jgould: Still wireless issues?06:18
jgouldNo,  I tried to figure out why my bluetooth wasn't working right and royally screwed the system06:23
Unit193The one you JUST installed?06:27
jgouldinstalled which time?06:33
Unit193You just installed Xubuntu 64bit...06:34
jgouldI can't get any of this to work under Xubuntu06:34

jgouldYay!06:44
Cheri703the only things not where they will be for the trip are: netbook, charger, external hdd, and phone06:44
Cheri703(and the hdd isn't packed because I'm still transferring movies!06:44
Cheri703)06:44
Unit193BiosElement: Night!06:45
Cheri703one bag to check, one as carry-on, and my laptop bag/purse as my "personal item"06:45
Unit193Cheri703: Are you going to honeypot your HD?06:45
Cheri703?06:45
Unit193Put files on there you think they would want to look at06:46
Cheri703nah, all that will be on it are video files, and honestly, if I was paranoid at all, I could delete them and then re-download some from my home computer before heading back06:46
Cheri703alright, I'm going to go hop in the shower and then get some dang sleep06:47
* jgould pulls his hair out06:48
* Cheri703 has had ~3 hours of sleep since thursday morning06:48

jgouldalt-arrow isn't even universal... It won't work in teh Mac OS, which is where I am now08:04
canthus13Ah.08:04
canthus13FF isn't exactly consistent across OSes... The preferences option in windows and Linux are under different menus...08:05
