<0> stupido me......
<0> brb
<1> Loki99: Nope, but hostnames go a long way :P
<2> "init 1" should drop you down to single user mode I believe, if you need that...
<1> You don't want single luser mode :P
<1> If you can't kill x, try telinit 2
<3> Coma: whaaaat? like I'd recommend a user to add /sbin/telinit 1 to inittab runlevels 2,3,4,5 and run init q?
<3> Coma: are you insinuating such things?
<1> Heh
<1> tommi: I've had kiddies run telinit 0 to add another root user though ;)
<3> Coma: I know. it's cl***ic but rather useless though
<0> Coma: should I kill whatever gdm is running also?
<3> Coma: because it's likely the `admins' of `teh b0x', will just think "what the hell???" and re-power it immediately without more thought.
<1> Loki99: If you kill gdm, it should end your current x session too
<1> tommi: I still maintain a little hope it'll draw some attention to the box :/
<3> Coma: I'm deprived of such hope. I work with VoIP.
<0> Coma: hehe, it's only reloading X... I guess I'll drop to runlevel3
<4> what websites you recommand me to look for linux fully compatible mainboards ?
<1> tommi: Hey, is that a VoIP in your pocket or ..... :P
<1> Pilgrim: www.google.com?
<3> Coma: I 4 TEH iLBC j00
<4> where i can find references to mainboards that work and that are "new generation" compatible
<4> Coma aint you the funny one ? :P
<1> Oh yeah, I'm quite the entertainer.
<3> particularly when you hump his leg.
<4> i thought you might know a specialised website regarding linux hardware compatibilities
<3> Pilgrim: and google is likely to tell you.
<1> Pilgrim: Nope, not really. THere are various hardware compatibility databases about, but they tend to be outdated.
<5> hmm
<3> Pilgrim: there are sites for various types of hardware. e.g. targeting ieee802.11[a,b,g,n]
<4> how about a "not to buy" website on linux hardware ?
<1> I would just pick a nice mobo and check against the kernel what's supported or not.
<5> tommi: hey, you're right
<3> Pilgrim: try maintaining it. sometimes it works for a year or such, and then the flood of hardware the PoS that is `teh PC' brings you down due to sheer m***
<1> Hmmm
<3> Fiver: bi-hump?
<4> lol
<5> oooohh...
<5> lol
<3> come see the violence inherit in the system!
<5> I'm being repressed!
<3> help help, I'm being repressed
<5> lol
<1> Yup
<1> Now both of you go stand in the corner
<3> the same corner?
<2> bloody peasants...
<5> apparently there is only one corner..
<3> is it milktime?
<3> youknow, I -knew- something was wrong with this "room" the minute I saw it had only one corner.
<3> speaking of which, have you weeded out the mummified romulan from the corner yet?
<3> it is -soooo- beer^friday....................
<1> But it makes for such a lovely decoration!
<1> tommi: Oh right, beer o'clock is nigh!
<3> true, and then there's the mutt... I'm not sure I'd be the one to deprive it of it's bones.
<5> there is that..
<3> how come I keep thinking of discworld warcries whenever I have to talk to a VoIP customer?
<3> "today is a good day for somebody else to die"
<1> See, customers bring out the best in you.
<0> Coma: what was it you told me to run? I am at the console now
<1> telinit 2?
<0> Coma: run X with fluxbox arguments
<0> scroll up with the arrow key :P
<1> Oh that, xinit -e `which fluxbox`
<1> Write things down if you can't remember them :P
<0> Coma: I always do, I just didn't know I'll type /quit instead of /window close ...
<1> /quit
<3> so, write down whatever your fingers want to write before they do. or such.
<5> Loki99: If you always do, you'd have written that down and not had to ask again ;b
<3> I'm booooooored
<3> maybe I should actually work....
<0> Fiver: not if a second later I typed /quit by mistake.. with a pen in my hand to write 'xinit -e `'
<5> Loki99: always is always. it doesn't make exceptions.
<0> k. PAM authentication failed... perhaps you go no have console ownership? should I run as root ??
<0> s/go/do
<3> Coma: you don't have nearly enough skill to act like a dimwitted voip user. you'd have to be _exceptionally_ clever to be as stupid as that.
<1> tommi: Just discovered that I utterly **** at coming up with a stupid question ;)
<3> Coma: once, it took a customer 20 minutes to find out whether she actually _had_ attached a phone to the adapter. "such technical things, I don't know how to do"
<1> Loki99: And if you try startx `which fluxbox`
<3> Coma: I tell you..... "accidently" terminating the call to go kill some random pedestrian outside was quite a challenge.
<3> echo `which fluxbox` > ~/.xinitrc && startx
<1> Even better
<3> and henceforth, startx.
<0> .xinitrc or .xsession ?
<3> Coma: I'm so bored I wish I had `goto' in php.
<3> Loki99: what'd I write?
<0> .xinitrc
<3> so, perhaps you could try that.
<0> I did and it didnt work and so Coma told me that it should be .xsession
<0> hehe
<0> did I do that?
<0> :P
<1> No, he mentioned php
<0> php is ok
<1> php is a disaster waiting to happen.
<0> WOW
<0> something is happening
<0> I see a white screen and at the bottom a panel with the word 'one' at one end and a clock at the other...
<0> hehe, when I right-click I see a menu labeled Fluxbox-1.0rc2....
<1> Congratulations, you now have a working x again
<0> :)
<1> The next trick is getting your normal X session to work that way
<0> yeah
<6> what distro?
<6> which
<1> Centos, right?
<6> picking bad habits.. tsk tsk
<0> Coma: yeah
<0> I'm trying to learn this Wm... people are right DE are more fun...
<1> Loki99: I like the cleanness that blackbox offers me ;)
<6> i didn't like fluxbox that much.
<1> But somehow I never work on my linux box
<0> mako: what would you recommend as a light wm ?
<6> recommend? I'd recommend trying things here and there and picking what suits you best
<7> flux is fine...but that's a fairly old release
<0> kodon: it's the latest I think
<6> I like windowmaker, others in the house prefer xfce. just pick what suits you best
<8> windowmaker++
<8> with the timeless dockapps :)
<6> ;)
<1> twm! twm! twm!
<0> hehe
<1> Or dare I say, fvwm95!
<0> whats that ?
<1> A hacked up version of fvwm which was supposed to look like windows95
<0> lol
<1> Holy @*^&^%@#
<1> Debian ships with millions of WMs it seems
<6> does it ship with xpde?
<1> Funny to see how many spinoffs blackbox has produced
<1> Nope, no xpde it seems
<8> but testing does have icedove & iceweasel..
<8> I know it's completely off topic, but hey..
<1> Yes, 42
<1> Clone: Forgot your meds again eh?
<8> yeah.
<8> I have been doing oracle replication for two days straight.
