<0> wlfshmn: Actually, it's where I discovered a fully intact server that someone had left next to a dumpster to be thrown away with the morning trash
<1> so you pick it up, run off and get arrested? ;)
<0> wlfshmn: Well... nobody's arrested me yet. I think it's from a lexus dealer.
<2> "fully instact server" could be anything. It could be a frickin ZX81.
<1> what, there isn't even any sodomy in the story?
<3> anyone here using dovecot with maildir++ quotas?
<1> Clone: Taek is up with Tekky, I'm only interested in the human misery portion of it all
<0> wlfshmn: The sodomy comes into play when I lugged the heavy beast back home, then wandered over to a friends place to pick up an extra monitor, then hooked everything up on my kitchen table only to find that I'm short two feet of cat-5 cable to get it hooked into my router :/
<0> wlfshmn: Now I'm just too tired from wandering around carrying bits of computer to even bother moving it.
<4> Tekky: that's a hell of a story..
<0> Clone: It would have been more grandiose, but I got shouted down :P
<4> Tekky: hehe, I wonder why ;)
<5> Tekky: Let me put it simply.
<5> You **** at this, and you're boring us.
<2> Can't get any simpler than that.
<6> ****ing internet connection, man I am getting sick of it
<7> hahahahahahahaah
<8> what should be the entry for /dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab so that it mounts using iso9660 for normal cds and cdfs for vcds
<9> max: You'd have to use two seperate entries, and using something else than /dev/cdrom for vcds so that mount can distinguish betwen the two
<8> Coma: i tried auto instead of iso9660, it takes more time to mount
<9> Obvisouly, because it needs to figure out which fs to use
<6> wtf is wrong
<9> Sunblade: "transient bus protocol violation"
<10> sunspots
<11> Coma: when you told me to tell X to use the nvidia drivers... i went into /etc/X11/ and i see xorg.conf... but i didnt know what to do
<6> at least irc doesn't require much bandwidth :P
<6> shifty_28: that's because you didn't read the nvidia driver readme
<9> shifty_28: Edit that file, locate the driver block and tell it to use "nvidia" instead of "nv", or whatever it's using now
<9> And that howto I pointed out earlier shows an even easier way
<9> sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia
<11> oh thanks
<9> Hmm, or it might already have done that
<11> i seen that but i see that is said if you did the above dont do this
<9> That's what I just saw too
<9> Else just read through the config file, see if it has Driver "nvidia" mentioned there in a device section
<11> it says that my graphics card is a nvidia card
<12> Still in here?
<11> yeah i been away for a little bit
<11> i just came back
<9> shifty_28: Something we already established. The question is whether it's using the nvid driver or not
<11> i dont think so.. i did a work search of nvidia in that .conf file and it only found it once and that was telling me the devices name
<11> it says Section
<11> wait
<9> Now, in the device section identified for the card, make sure it uses the nvidia driver
<11> Section "Device"---BoardName "GeForce FX 5500"---Bus ID "1:0:0"---Driver "nv"
<9> Well, as I've said several times already, change "nv" to "nvidia" and restart x and it should work
<11> yeah i was born a mistake...
<9> Though, you might have to remove two modules, I think
<9> shifty_28: Read http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8762/README/chapter-03-section-02.html
<5> shifty_28: You're making me wish someone rectified that mistake unless you cut out the fatalistic woe-is-me-for-I-****,
<5> pity-me-for-I-abase-myself-and-am-not-worthy bull****.
<11> lol
<6> finally our internet speed is normal again
<11> Coma: i just changed the nv.. u think i should change the other ones?
<12> shifty_28: well wtf does it say to do?
<9> I think you should do what that page says
<11> just making sure you were on your feet lol
<12> shifty_28: I'm sure someone in here is about to ensure you're not on yours.
<11> oh you should already know..
<13> Hi All
<14> ofcourse it didn't come without problems :) When blocking certain advertisement URL's some MSIE browsers went nuts :/
<14> Coma: This company also used squid and for some reason /. post control didn't go very well.
<9> As a compnay that'd be the last thing I'd worry about and if employees would complain, I'd block slashdork altogether :P
<14> lol
<14> Coma: naah, not /.. Some pages who used lots of advertising acted weird. When people went to a subpage the backlog would be filled with the previous page + all the ad url's. So when they clicked "back" nothing happened.
<14> Coma: but I managed to solve that problem 8)
<9> Banned the use of IE?
<14> Coma: this isn't a big company btw. So the whole browsing thingie isn't that strict. And no; didn't ban MSIE :) I figured out a better way to block those URL's. Content rewriting instead of blocking.
<9> Ah, something I've experimented with for a while, but found too error prone
<5> Lion-O: Did you read that CSS compliance test article /. linked to?
<14> Shadur: no, didn't actually read /. :)
<9> Just used some agressive testing methods against it? ;)
<14> right now I'm getting this cache fixed 8)
<5> Lion-O: Summar: Opera - 96%. Firefox - 93%. IE6 - 53%. IE7 - 54%
<5> Summary, even
<14> Shadur: hehe, somehow I am not surprised to see those figures.
<14> right, it seems that MSIE is oddly behaving when some of these URL's are blocked while they also create a sort of "frame". This empty frame is something MSIE can't cope with too well (so I think) and as such it treats it like seperate pages.
<14> solution is fortunatly simple; the offending URL's get rewritten while the rest can remain blocked (like http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/) :)
<14> Coma: I agree, but system administration on the site doesn't really like the idea :)
<9> Then the onsite needs a good beating with the cluebat ;)
<14> Coma: naah. Its overhead. This way they can easily roll out workstations and their (not always too clued) lusers also don't need any counceling or training. You can't ignore the "what they use at home they know on the job" philosophy.
<1> grep -m1 ">Last</a>" site-temp.html | sed -e 's/\">.*$//g' -e 's/^.*fr=//g'
<1> meh
<9> Lion-O: They'd hardly need any training if you just stick the IE icon on firefox ;)
<1> Coma: hehe, that is pretty evil ;)
<9> I wonder how many people would actually notice it
<1> and IE-brnaded firefox, jsut to get the users to accept "yeah, it's a major security update."
<14> Coma: hehehe
<9> To a lot of them, the blue e icon == intarweb
<9> So if the click the blue e and get to view their pr0n, why complain?
<14> Coma: hmm :)
<2> Coma: Isn't there an IE skin for mozilla too? ;)
<9> *shrug*
<2> Coma: http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/firefox_internet_explorer/ ;)
<14> bottom line, my solution worked.
<2> Heh - "Why? In the name of all that is good and righteous... WHY??"
<9> for great justice!
<15> How can I create .pcf font files?
<14> you can open an editor and start typing.
<9> rfg: Try fontforge
<15> what kind of a graphic file can i use inside .s files?
<15> xpm?
<14> that makes no sense what so ever.
<15> I need to use a graphic image from inside a .s file
<14> wtf is a .s file supposed to be? Extensions mean nothing in Unix.
<15> ***embly source
<9> rfg: Normally, you'd use byte arrays, which can be contructed out of any picutre format
<15> do I need to edit arrays myself or can I use .xpm .xbm
<9> rfg: It sounds to me like you have no business messing around in ***embly files
<9> It totally depends on how the data's going to be displayed again. If you don't know how, then you don't know how to encode the data either
<15> I think I use copy some extern xpm
<9> Gee, why not stick a 3000x3000 24 bit png in there, moron!
<2> Yeah. No need to thank us. You're welcome.
<14> hey, I didn't do it! ;)
<10> Coma: .tiff
<9> Better yet, .raw
<9> Maybe I should have told him to use 4 bit rle encoding. I'm sure that would have come across
<10> and transfer it over a 300bd line
<16> weird
<16> apparently there's no way to work with SERIAL types with \copy
<16> INSERT is fine, but with \copy, you're SOL
<16> unless that's OFN
<17> I have an issue w/some e-mails not showing up though
<18> when you search for something, there's a little option that says, "deleted messages match your search.. View them, or go to trash to delete forever"
<18> cant believe i never noticed that
<17> could be an issue on the other end though
<17> like, some myspace notifications are not appearing
<17> well, any myspace notifications stopped appearing in the past 2 weeks
<17> but, it might be a fluke on myspace's end
<18> true. it took me 2 weeks to finally receive my cancellation email
<19> q: I've i've gone through a slackware installation and set resolution too high, how can I change it without reinstalling?
<14> Gooner: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Consult the manual for further details.
<19> lion-0 thx muchly
<19> prolly saved me hours ;)
<14> doubtfull.
<19> now that's not positive thinking ;)
<14> As if there's any reason for it with a crappy distro like lackware.
<19> well it's an old laptop and i haven't had much luck getting the wireless working
<19> gone through ubuntu, which sort of worked
<19> centos, knoppix, mepis, freebsd
<19> others i've forgotten
<19> just trial and error really
<19> i just want one that detects the hardware and let's me use WPA
<19> to be honest, the funniest thing is the latest vista beta runs great on the b*st*rd thing
<19> but i'm trying to wean myself of winduhs
<17> and you acquired that beta legally, correct?
