| Fudge | anyone want to help with very basic patches | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| sagaci | Fudge: what package | 01:01 |
| sagaci | or bug report | 01:01 |
| Fudge | no a patch to change /etc/default/grub setting remove comment for grub beep 2nd last line | 01:02 |
| sagaci | yeah, what about it? | 01:02 |
| Fudge | I am trying to learn ways to patch files such as that | 01:03 |
| Fudge | to pacakge | 01:03 |
| Fudge | been told about quilt also | 01:03 |
| sagaci | are you using bzr | 01:03 |
| Fudge | no | 01:05 |
| Fudge | plan to though but this is my first delv into packaging | 01:05 |
| Fudge | so just grabbed a package that themuso made for vinux that needs updating | 01:05 |
| sagaci | where did you get the grub package | 01:05 |
| Fudge | very basic things in it | 01:05 |
| sagaci | ah ok | 01:05 |
| Fudge | all the grub script is at the moment is adding a beep to 03-beep into grub.d and updating grub | 01:05 |
| Fudge | previously though in our build scripts | 01:06 |
| Fudge | we would sed /etc/default/gurb to uncomment | 01:06 |
| Fudge | of course a patch is reliable where sed is not | 01:06 |
| Fudge | so thought process is to figure out how to write a patch | 01:06 |
| Fudge | sagaci hope that gives you a picture of what i am trying to explain :D | 01:06 |
| Fudge | oh gosh | 01:07 |
| Fudge | quilt seems extensive | 01:07 |

| ikt | anyone here? | 13:50 |
| sagaci | ikt: maybe | 14:12 |
| ikt | haha | 14:30 |
| ikt | i'm wondering about the possible electiricty savings that could be made by having 1 server running spice and all 4 computers in the house connecting to it | 14:31 |
| sagaci | wouldn't have a clue | 14:42 |
| airtonix | spice? | 17:37 |
| airtonix | oh it's like libvirtd | 17:39 |
| airtonix | ikt: what are the compelling reasons to use spice over libvirtd ( & archipel) ? | 17:40 |
| ikt | http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showpost.php?p=12967270&postcount=5 | 18:03 |
| ikt | hard to explain as I'm just dipping my toes in the virtulisation pool | 18:04 |
| ikt | but I gather SPICE is like 3d compared to RDP/VNC which is 2d, but more of a throughput deal | 18:04 |
| ikt | if i understand it properly spice should sit on top of kvm | 18:05 |
| ikt | archipel looks very awesome | 18:07 |
| head_victim | ikt: when I looked into energy savings I decided to look at what I actually NEEDED 24/7 and figured out I could whack it all on a server (mine was file related and IRC was nice) and only have the desktops turn on when required. | 20:44 |
| head_victim | I'm still in the process of moving it all to the server (as I happen to be in the middle of a study reorganise as well to remove a full size rack) but that's how I came up with the best power saving here. | 20:45 |
| head_victim | On a side note, George Carlin rocks. | 21:00 |
