<0> i'll probably do that, thanks for the info and this time i'll back up the mc file
<1> good plan
<1> anyone ever had a burned DVD that's sensitive to the temperature of the DVD-ROM drive you read it in?
<2> hello ppl
<3> What is a good windows CVS client to use?
<1> the only windows CVS client I ever used was the same CVS client as I use on Linux (recompiled with Cygwin)...
<2> Just wondering if someone had some input as to what version of linux I should use to. I want to set up and run a apache web server on it. Been a while since I used linux.
<1> it worked rather well
<1> isn't there a "WinCVS" client?
<4> can someone tell me the best file system for cross platform media storage is?
<5> After trying a couple, I've so far settled on SuSE 10, Urchlay
<2> I have mandrake ver. 9 now but i think thats kinda old.
<5> No wait, sorry, that wasn't Urchlay
<0> __Z__: install fedora core 4, plain and simple
<5> I meant Z
<1> :)
<2> thanks DAMworking
<1> mandrake 9 is indeed old... they changed their name to Mandriva, what, a year ago?
<5> I had Fedora Core 3 before SuSE, but when I installed VMWare it ate my machine, I was unable to boot it at all, I went to VMWare and they pointed out that it's not supported, blah.
<4> anyone? have an idea?? is FAT32 the only option?
<1> fojackedddol: basically, yes
<0> not a good option
<1> fojackedddol: if I understand the question, anyway... you want a filesystem that "anything" can read?
<0> Urchlay: i have not played with man* since they changed their name, but i used to love that distro
<4> is it the only one? i know linux can read ntfs, but will it ever be able to write to it as well?
<6> whoa... it's urch!
<5> How about FTP?
<1> fojackedddol: probably not reliably... Microsoft can change the rules any time they like, so it's a constant catch-up game
<1> hey purplin... LTNS
<1> (LNTIRC? I dunno)
<6> no kidding
<6> get this urch, I got a job!
<5> Whatever happened to Samba?
<4> is there anyway windoze can read ext3? or... jsut i just click the button and go with fat32?
<1> a job... presumably not one involving deep-fryers? :)
<6> yes.... but it involves in cartridges
<6> I refill 'em
<6> free ink though!
<5> All the ink you can drink! Sweet!
<1> fojackedddol: there are a couple of ways to read ext2 and/or ext3 on win32, but not transparently
<0> hmm, ink <drools>
<7> Why wouldn't you just use FAT32?
<1> (either you have to use a special little app to see the files, or you have to install a (possibly flaky) driver)
<7> Since by "cross-platform", you *actually* mean "dual-boot".
<1> purplin: beats being unemployed?
<6> Urchlay: at 9 bucks an hour it sure does
<4> well, do boot, and watching media across the network
<6> no benefits other than free refills. But I only work 4 hours a day so I have lots of screw off time
<0> i'm out thanks for the help guys
<7> What does the filesystem have to do with it if you're watching across the network?
<1> ehhh... $9 * 4 ain't much of a daily wage... unless you live somewhere with a lot less inflation than I do
<4> meh... actually... i dont know.. im retarded....
<8> live at home purplin ?
<1> wish I could move back in with the parents (well, with Dad, if he'd dump Mom...)
<4> lol
<6> five days a week, and yes, still with the rents
<1> living in the same place as my mother would mean I'd be on the clock 24/7 as her personal tech support monkey
<4> anyone know what other distros offer network install? as in http or ftp. besides debian?
<1> (she's had a computer for 3+ years and still uses both hands to move the mouse...)
<1> hopefully mine never need to move in with me
<6> I've made it clear to my 'rents that I don't do tech support. If it's something crazy, I'll help. Sod the rest
<1> guess I could squeeze 'em into the bathtub in the 2nd bathroom (the last bit of space not full of junk)
<8> mine say they would rather live in a home that with me :)
<1> ugh
<5> lol
<1> grr. How about a way to tell the kernel not to wait 5 minutes for the drive to recover, if it hits a bad sector?
<1> this is *really* annoying
<6> oh freaking lovely, lost my video signal again!
<4> for realisies?
<4> do you have a GFX card?
<6> too bad, the three finger salute doesn't work any more :(
<6> damnit... there's no way to recover other than a reboot :(
<1> eh, so are you typing blind now?
<6> no no, on the other machine
<6> greaaaaaaaaat.... no video, but I have usb!
<1> was all prepared to be impressed with your typing accuracy, too
<4> hahaha, and the truth is, he is doing it with his nose as well
<6> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the reboot works. Damn that
<1> I bet I really could learn to type with my feet
<1> well, toes
<9> Can't control the box via remote control? ssh, vnc, or somesuch?
<1> (if I didn't mind stinky keyboards)
<6> thank god windows xp has a faster boot time
<1> kittenbot: he just did... ssh in and reboot it
<6> no, no ssh telnet nothing
<1> "He's dead, Jim"
<6> putty doesn't ack as a ssh/telnet server does it?
<1> eh, not that I ever heard of, no
<6> moot point since I don't know how to tell windows to reboot from the CLI
<1> you can install a cygwin-ized version of sshd
<10> What's a good plugin for firefox to view pdfs?
<6> feh, don't need all that crap
<1> probably not
<6> it's windows. If the reset button doesn't work then I'm just .... well I dunno
<1> use the sledgehammer?
<1> or the 16-ton weight?
<1> bleh. This DVD starts reporting bad sectors after it's been read a while...
<6> nah, the hardware is fine usualy. Perfect for linux
<1> if I eject the disk and let it cool down for a couple minutes, the exact same sectors will read fine, but it'll die again after another couple 100 megs
<1> the longer I wait after eject & before reading again, the more it'll read before dying
<1> same DVD plays flawlessly in a set-top DVD player (or did, last time I tried it)
<1> am willing to bet a year from now, it won't play at all on anything.
<6> crazy
<6> do you have another dvd drive to test with?
<1> yeah, it does the same thing on my DVD burner and my roommate's DVD/CD combo drive
<6> time to back that ****er up
<1> (it seems to last slightly longer on his drive, probably he hasn't got 7200RPM hard drives above & below his)
<1> yeah, that's what I'm doing now
<1> backing it up, in chunks of 100-500 megs
<1> using dd to skip to the last good sector and append to the backup image
<1> *really boring* and time-consuming
<1> sadly, it's not something I could easily replace
<1> 3 hour 17 minute TV version of the 1984 Dune movie (longer than the extended edition even)
<1> took me almost 10 years to find a replacement for my old VHS copy that got disappeared
<6> lol
<1> ARGH!
<1> I just did the stupidest thing
<1> scp dump.iso otherbox:dune_disk1.iso <--- should have been "disk2" there!!
<1> I just overwrote disk 1 with a copy of disk 2
<1> er, maybe not
<1> yup, I did
<1> @#$!^%#^
<1> ehh, wait
<5> whooooops
<11> Urchlay you talking the original one?
<1> yeah, the original
<1> David Lynch
<11> sweet, i would like a copy of that
<1> yeah, I would too :(
<11> is it on the new dvd that just came out?
<11> i know they had the remake for sale for a long time but a new dvd was just recently released on it
<11> i think its the original
<1> wellll... the new DVD that just came out, has a 2 hour 57 minute cut
<1> the one I'm trying to rip is 3 hours 17 minutes
<12> damn i gotta fix the ip on this box so i get my ident
<1> grrr
<11> ah hah, 1984 version available on amazon.com
<1> yeah
<1> *which* 1984 version?
<11> dorected bu davod ;umcj
<1> well, there are at least 4 versions of it
<11> grr david lynch
<1> the really really short 98-minute version is unwatchable by humans
<1> the 2:17 version is OK, but noticeably chopped up
<13> Hellol
<1> the 2:57 version is OK, but "censored" (they cut some of the grosser stuff the Harkonnens do)
<13> Guys, I've got a problem... httpd just spits out errors about my vhosts out of the sudden...
<11> got extended version too by david lynch, not seeing run time though :(
<13> uh, Redragon^ ! The man I needed
<1> the 2 longest versions are the ones David Lynch removed his name from (they're directed by "Alan Smithee")
