canthus13Snakes in a drain?00:11
Unit193Nope! Snakes on the heater ;)00:13
jgouldAny one know where MacOS stores user/group info?00:24
jgouldcan you alias a userID to a diffrent user ID00:31
Unit193I don't *think* anyone knows about Macs... (I could very well be wrong...)00:34
Unit193I may have to switch back kernels if this keeps going on...01:02
canthus13Unit193: What's happening?01:02
Unit193canthus13: I keep losing WiFi (But the icon doesn't change...) and I have to remove it and put it back in...01:03
Unit193Kinda annoying.... (And not good that it's the one with irssi)01:04
dmcglone1Hiya all01:05
canthus13weird.01:05
Unit193dmcglone1: Hello01:05

dmcglone1Hiya jgould01:05
dmcglone1Hi Unit19301:05
dmcglone1Anything special tonight?01:06
jgouldNope01:07
Unit193dmcglone1: Weird thing with wireless (And me)01:08
dmcglone1what do you mean?01:08
dmcglone1oh dang01:09
dmcglone1I asked01:09
* dmcglone1 (boing)01:09
Unit193You can still take it back ;)01:09
dmcglone1Oh so we get takebacks on IRC now?01:09
dmcglone1;-)01:09
Unit193I'm getting dropouts on wireless where I have to remove the card and put it back in...01:10
Unit193Wouldn't matter as much if this wasn't my lovely screen session...01:11
dmcglone1did it just randomly start doing this?01:11
Unit193Yep! After I changed kernels... (*Might* not be that...)01:11
dmcglone1thats the first thing I'd suspect :-/01:12
Unit193Yeah... This kernel seems faster (If it's the kernel, I'll remove it)01:13
dmcglone1have you tested to see if it is?01:14
Unit193I would have to reboot :O (Already did that today...) and speed is very much needed at this point01:15
dmcglone1I see01:15
Unit193If it does it again, I will... (twice today...)01:16
Unit193dmcglone1: Doing anything fun?01:17
dmcglone1heh, I wish.01:18
dmcglone1I'm ju01:18
dmcglone1just too burnt out right now01:18
jgouldI hate manual time sheets...01:39
dmcglone1I agree, I fill out 4 a day01:40
dmcglone1and it's not just time in and time out, it's a whole damn sheet01:40
* dmcglone1 does home healthcare01:41
dmcglone1I have to fill out what they eat, when they eat, when they shit, what they do, how they act, etc, etc01:42
Unit193dmcglone1: Do you also have to shower them?01:43
dmcglone1it they are paraplegic but none of my patients are01:45
dmcglone1at the moment all my patients have mental issues01:45
dmcglone1the best thing about home healthcare is you can pick your own hours each day01:47
dmcglone1as long as I work the minimum set amount of hours the state allows that patient01:47
canthus13Unit193: What make/model is that laptop?02:03
Unit193The one with wifi issues?02:05
canthus13Yeah.02:05
Unit193Desktop HP 660c(?) (rt73usb wifi) I'll check to make sure...02:05
Unit1936630*02:06
canthus13Ok.02:06
canthus13Oh. no.02:06
canthus13actually, I was referring to the slow laptop.02:06
canthus13said it was ~500mhz?02:07
Unit193I have a laptop and desktop with that....02:07
* canthus13 has a 1ghz PIII mobile proc and a 1ghz PIII slot 1 just sitting around...02:07
Unit193Omnibook XE2 is laptop02:09
canthus13Hmm.. the desktop won't take anything higher than a 533 celeron...02:09
canthus13Looks like the omnibook might work... Depends on the exact processor model, though. but some people have upgraded it to 1ghz.02:10
jgouldwhat are you trying to do?02:11
* canthus13 has an old dell C610 with a bad mobo.02:11
canthus13Unit193: If you want the proc from it, it's yours.02:11
jgouldI wouldn't mind one of the Panasonic Toughbook CF-19's that we have at work... (Or the General Dynamica GD6000's)02:13
* canthus13 has to get rid of some junk piling up in the basement...02:13
canthus13jgould: Toughbooks rock. :)02:13
Unit193Sweet! (Someone might give me a 650MHz one)02:13
jgouldI know.  Clunky as hell, but they will take a beating and keep on going.02:13
Unit193IRC issues...02:13
canthus13Unit193: Cool... Just need to find out if it will actually work in your laptop.02:14
jgouldI saw one that was mounted in a police cruiser that was in a shoot out, had a bullet hole through the display, it still worked (except for where the hole is...) I was impressed02:14
canthus13jgould: nice...02:14
canthus13there's a lot of toughbooks floating around iraq and afghanistan... Panasonic has made a KILLING on those things. :)02:15
jgouldYeah.  Used to work with a guy that was in the navy,  he watched one get dropped from a chopper, someone ran over picked it up and kept working where the guy in the chopper left off...02:16
canthus13jgould: Heh. they've been  used to beat down attackers, defend from knives, even stop shrapnel.02:17
canthus13I'd imagine the sshrapnel fucks 'em up pretty good, though.02:17
paultagOMG02:18
jgouldJust a bit...02:18
paultagSSH ATTACK APPLICATION: sshrapnel02:18
canthus13paultag: What?02:18
canthus13paultag: HAHAHA!02:18
paultagkthx, back to idle :)02:18
paultagcanthus13: well done!02:18
jgouldHeh02:18
jgouldOk,  Now off to the office to drop this shit off...02:20
jgouldBack in a bity02:20
jgouldHmm...  Am I online04:13
Unit193jgould: Nope!04:14
canthus13jgould: no.04:21
jgouldOk04:30
jgouldwith the way our router works sometimes, I can never be sure.04:31
Unit193Just goto #ubuntu and say !hi ;)04:32
jgouldis it possible to resize a partition?  I want to make my / partition larger...04:35
jgouldactully, my /home04:35
jgouldOk... I'm tired of fucking with this Apple Airport Extreme.  I'm switching it out for the Cisco Valet...  I'll be right back04:48
canthus13jgould: Airports don't like non-mac stuff. :/05:08
canthus13they don't play well with windows.05:08
canthus13but yes. you can resize your partition.05:08
canthus13use gparted.05:08
jgouldHow do you do it?05:08
canthus13I'm psychic.05:08
jgouldI must not have it installed05:09
canthus13You'll have to install it. it doesn't come stock anymore.05:09
jgouldtoo many people fuck up their systems?05:09
canthus13Too many options. they're emulating mac now. :/05:09
canthus13But basically, you unmount a partition, then right-click on it and resize. (If the system can do it.. depends on fragmentation and locations of partitions...)05:10
canthus13If it's an active partition, you'll need to boot a live CD and do it.05:10
canthus13(like / or /home)05:11
jgouldI'm goign to resize both...  I'll be back.  Hopefully I can do this without fucking up etiher partition...05:13
canthus13Have fun. :)05:15
jgouldI have a little partition that is flagged bios_grub that I can't move.  what is it, and what does it do?05:27
canthus13Not sure... Might be something for grub2.05:38
jgouldfuck... In order to do what I'm trying to do, I'm going to need to delete that partition and reinstall grub...05:38
canthus13Looks like it is.05:38
canthus13https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation05:39
jgouldHmm... Running 'sudo grub' doesn't get me anything05:43
jgouldI have a lot of sudo grub- programs, but no 'grub'05:45
canthus13I think it's grub-install05:55
jgouldI'm leaning toward that as well. Hopefully I dont muck up the system by doing this...05:58
jgouldI also have a grub-install06:00
jgoulder06:01
jgouldgrub-setup06:01
jgouldwow... gparted copies the empty blocks as well as the ones with data...06:03
* jgould listens to the crickets06:14
jgouldFUCK06:48
jgouldok.. we're back07:06
