01:34 < ringo30> Anybody still awake pse ?
01:53 < th> ringo30: that's gpm
01:54 < ringo30> th: Thanks How do you get that info?
01:54 < th> IIRC i grepped for it
01:55 < th> in fact i used ldd to narrow the filecount i had to grep
01:55 < ringo30> IIRC log file ?
01:55 < th> IIRC == if i recall correctly
01:56 < ringo30> ok not so familair with irc statements... Now got to fix it ..... hmm
01:57 < th> well apply the gpm-patch
01:57 < th> 1.7 or 1.5/1.6?
01:57 < ringo30> 1.6 pre 3
01:57 < th> cool
01:57 < th> so just:
01:58 < th> cd /usr/src/rock-src
01:58 < th> ./scripts/Update gpm
01:58 < th> ./scripts/Download -package gpm
01:58 < th> ./scripts/Build-Pkg gpm
01:58 < th> and it's fixed
01:59 < ringo30> th: hmm thanks for the info.
01:59 < ringo30> applying ...
02:00 < th> in which application did this appear?
02:00 < th> w3m
02:00 < th> ?
02:03 < ringo30> mc sri for the delay.
02:04 < ringo30> it crashes when you run an app and then return to midnight commander.
02:04 < th> ahh mc
02:04 < th> ok

02:18 < th> ringo30: did that fix your problem?
02:21 < ringo30> not yet added swap perm first ...
02:23 < th> permissions?
02:23 < th> partition?
02:23 < ringo30> permanently made swap partion active in runlevel 2
02:23 < th> ahh ok
02:24 < ringo30> is it ok to do that in a runlevel ?
02:24 < th> i don't see reason for that
02:25 < th> i always add them to fstab
02:27 < ringo30> ok will fix it that way, nicer less hassle.
02:31 < ringo30> qwestion : If I do ./scripts/Build-Pkg gpm it will be directly installed ?
02:32 < th> yes
02:33 < ringo30> Ok. I dont get any err from liblow.c but m still core dumps.
02:33 < ringo30> midnight commander
02:33 < th> hmm ok.
02:33 < th> let me reproduce that
02:34 < th> i started mc
02:34 < th> what now?
02:35 < ringo30> mc says something like ...  update /usr/lib/mc/extfs/extfs.ini any idea waht needs to be altered ?
02:35 < th> no
02:38 < th> so can't show me how to reproduce the core dump with mc?
02:39 < ringo30> you want it to core dump to ? Or do I have to examin them ?
02:39 < th> you shall tell me what i need to do to make mc core dump
02:40 < ringo30> run it and then ls or wahtever it then coredumps over here.
02:41 < th> hmm
02:41 < th> it does not do so here
02:41 < ringo30> what Rock version do you have ?
02:41 < th> 1.5/1.6
02:42 < ringo30> hmm ... funny I am allways the lucky guy...
02:43 < th> did you install from pre3 iso?
02:44 < ringo30> yep
02:44 < th> did you do anything special after that?
02:44 < ringo30> nope just some routine stuff to get it up.
02:44 < th> hmmm
02:45 < th> perhaps your hardware is broken?
02:45 < ringo30> hope not, could be kernel problem but I dont think so.
02:45 < th> me neither
02:46 < ringo30> Jan 21 03:43:22 localhost gpm[24055]: *** info [gpm.c(673)]:
02:46 < ringo30> this is what I find /var/log/messages A_LOT
02:47 < th> are you in x?
02:47 < ringo30> nope terminal
02:47 < th> perhaps some framebuffer-issue?
02:47 < th> does mc run ok in x?
02:48 < ringo30> dunno I havent had that up (yet).
02:49 < th> is gpm running?
02:49 < th> and functioning?
02:49 < ringo30> yep luckely ..
02:51 < th> hmmm
02:51 < th> kill gpm and check if mc crashs
02:53 < ringo30> still crashes but it waits until a key is pressed to go back to mc
02:53 < th> hmm
02:54 < ringo30> frame buffer that could very very well be .... Sorry didnt read that...
02:56 < ringo30> I have installed frame buffer for nvidia (experimental)...
02:56 < th> uhm
02:56 < th> i think svga framebuffer is the better choice here
02:56 < ringo30> ok i'll burn other kernel.
02:57 < ringo30> vesa vga graph console ?
02:57 < th> yes
02:58 < ringo30> ok compiling ...

03:25 < th> i don't know
03:25 < th> i don't use fb any more
03:25 < th> but i never passed append lines for vesa fb
03:26 < th> but i almost never use mc either
03:27 < ringo30> cant live without mc ... Its very handy tool. I love  it! I will have to tackle da problem ...
03:30 < th> i like a good shell better
03:35 < ringo30> You are right, but I am lazy (one of the main virtues of a programmer ;-) ).
03:38 < th> takes too long for me to change e.g. into a directory
03:40 < ringo30> hmm how do you navigate ?
03:40 < th> tab completion
03:40 < ringo30> yehh could try that 2.
03:41 < ringo30> bash korn cshell ?
03:41 < th> tcsh
03:44 < ringo30> hmm will look it up. I love nutshell guide.
03:47 -!- Ge0rG [georg@club-mate.net] has quit ("Der Sinn des Lebens ist die Suche nach eben jenem.")
03:59 < ringo30> th which version of mc do you "use" ?
04:01 < th> hehe
04:01 < th> lemme check
04:01 < th> GNU Midnight Commander 4.5.55
04:01 < th> Edition: text mode with X11 support to read modifiers
04:01 < th> Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, ftpfs, mcfs, undelfs
04:02 < ringo30> ok I am recompiling.... Maybe ....
04:02 < ringo30> I have the same ...
04:05 < ringo30> I recompiled and its 4 times the orignal size .... no opt just ./configure ; make ; make install ...
04:29 < ringo30> gdb gives :  #0  0x4008ffc2 in Gpm_Open () from /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1
04:30 < ringo30> th ?
04:34 < th> ack?
04:35 < th> hmm
04:40 < ringo30> think its something with gpm >I remember the configure script was broken it only said oops usage gpm -m /dev/mouse -t mouse type and I cpuld not get out of that loop.
04:41 < ringo30> so I broke the setup shell at that point.

18:50 < blindcoder> rmmod pain
18:50 < blindcoder> damn... who compiled pain statically into the kernel
18:51 < owl> yep. that's a bug. not a feature.
18:52 < tcr> not if ( self->type == MASOCHIST )

20:40 < fake> the efforts to save the environment in the chzech republic?
20:40 < fake> good evening ;)
20:41 < tcr> i bet rolla havent even heard of the czech republic ;)
20:41 < fake> .oO( oder die kulturfoerderung in romaenien! )
20:42 < rolla> tcr that is a very ignorate thing to say
20:42 < tcr> what culture in romania are you talking about anyway? ;)
20:43 < rolla> how about germans moving to a 40 hour work week?

20:43 < rolla> tcr: sorry I don't like being classed as the dumb american
20:43 < rolla> fake: you are the exception :)
20:43 < rolla> fake: you are not in a union?
20:44 < fake> there is no union for the IT area in germany (yet) and our company is too small to create it's own
20:44 < owl> hi fake
20:45 < rolla> fake: unions suck
20:45 < rolla> don't let them come ing
20:45 < rolla> re owl
20:46 < tcr> rolla: never ever take me seriously, especially on such things. Besides, i guess even the majority of german people havent heard about, though it lays next to us
20:46 < owl> and what's with ver.di? i guess the IT area is also their area, a bit, isn't it?
20:46 < rolla> :)
20:47 < fake> owl: no way
20:47 < fake> rolla: yes, unions suck. they draw a to broad border between employers and employees...
20:47 < owl> hm.
20:48 < tcr> hmm, that ver.di is that successfull is odd to me anyway, If i was a boss of a company, i just would fire all strikers.. i mean with 4million unemployed people..
20:48 * rolla hate unions with all his ebing
20:48 < rolla> ver.di ?
20:48 < Mike1> ping [anders]
20:48 < rolla> that is something I do not know
20:48 < tcr> that is something you actually do not have to know ;)
20:49 < fake> rolla: german union about service area (tertionary sector...)
20:49 < esden> ahh hi fake 
20:49 < rolla> achso
20:49 < esden> good you are here ;-)
20:49 < fake> hi esden
20:49 < owl> why hating unions? they're fighting for the employees rights. and imho that's not bad
20:49 < rolla> they are not
20:49 < esden> fake: which program have you used for txt2speach ?
20:49 < fake> owl: you are a typical old-economist
20:49 < rolla> they fight to get more money in the union bak accounts
20:49 < fake> esden: can't remember
20:49 < owl> socialistic
20:49 < rolla> s/bak/bank/
20:49 < esden> sic >_<
20:50 < rolla> owl who is?
20:50 < fake> owl: once you are an employer, and emply emplyees, you will see things in a different light.
20:50 < owl> <-- not old-economist. just socialist
20:50 < rolla> ach
20:51 < tcr> emply?
20:51 < tcr> or did you mean amply?
20:51 < fake> employ
20:51 < tcr> or
20:51 < tcr> oh
20:52 < owl> fake: that would even not happen in 10 further lifes i guess. and - yes - it's bad for the companies. but if you see what those managment guys and so on are often doing like firing lots of people and so on, then you will see what unions are good for imho
20:52 < tcr> what do they do for fired people?
20:52 < rolla> unions are good for nothing any more
20:53 < fake> owl: if its bad for the company, it's bad for the employees, too!
20:53 < fake> damn it!
20:53 < rolla> very true
20:53 < fake> no company, no emplyees!
20:53 < rolla> fake: are german unions like american unions?
20:54 < rolla> here union workers are lazy good for nothings that must take 10 min. breaks every hour
20:54 < fake> rolla: are american unions like german unions?
20:54 < owl> tcr: for example they're using their right to put pressure to the politics (if they want to "mildern" "kicking-off-laws") and sometimes they're also fighting agains "massenentlassungen" and so on
20:55 < rolla> owl: once the union leaders are no longer working for anything other than the unions they only want more money for themselves
20:55 < owl> fake: think what you want to think. and i'm doing the same. but don't get angry if someone has another opinion. dot.
20:55 < tcr> mildern = softern or moderate, and massenentlassungen = mass dismissal (for rolla)
20:55 < fake> owl: i am not angry?
20:56 -!- Mike1 is now known as d3bian
20:56 < owl> rolla: not working for anything other than the unions?
20:56 < rolla> tcr: danke
20:56 < owl> fake: ok then
20:56 < rolla> yes
20:56 < d3bian> umm
20:56 < rolla> owl: here the head of the unions work for the union it is their job
20:56 -!- d3bian is now known as demian
20:56 < demian> not d3bian !
20:56 < demian> :)
20:56 < demian> hi all
20:56 < fake> it's just another point of view you should try to understand. if you prevent a neccesary 'massenentlassung', the company will suffer even more, and NO_ONE will be employed anymore if the company is gone.
20:57 < rolla> owl: instead of working in the feild the union serves
20:57 < owl> rolla: k
20:57 < fake> the government then gives money to prevent the loss of jobs and tries to save a rotten company that has nowhere to go but into the grave, money that would have been needed elsewise.
20:58 < fake> but that's not a subject for #rocklinux, i'm afraid ;)
20:59 < owl> fake: and often the jobs are moved to outside the country... cuz it's cheap than e.g. producing in germany.or because the managment has better "social" connections to other companies and so on... or because of other reasons... and there are massenentlassungen... and could be hindered by laws etc.
21:00 < fake> owl: it's not that easy. why is germany expensive? because the people demand so much money (using the unions, they force it!)
21:00 < fake> owl: there is never such a thing as a siple explanation
21:01 < fake> owl: it's not black-and-white, us-and-them, see?
21:02 < tcr> "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself." is a very nice proverb IMO
21:02 < owl> fake: why is it more expanensive to produce software e.g. in germany than in - belarus or so? often those guys from there are more qualified... and get less money... and so on.
21:02 < tcr> but off topic to this discussion ;)
21:03 < owl> fake: and yes - you're right: there are thousands of (horrible) explanations.
21:03 < tcr> owl: because the conditions in germany are the most fucking ones that could be imagined
21:03 < tcr> owl: all the burocratic stuff is preventing.
21:03 < fake> owl: the situation is never bad and never good. it's like it is. it's usually not our job to judge. we're here to code. ;)
21:03 < owl> tcr: not jsut this
21:04 < owl> fake: ... and die.
21:04 < fake> remember: first code, than die.
21:04 < fake> (important)
21:04 < fake> *writingayellowpostitnoteandstickingittoowlsmonitor*
21:04 < owl> hm. why so? then you will got not a mass-grave, but a grave for your own, sponsored by company?
21:05 < owl> fake: ;P
21:05 < fake> owl: no, when you;re dead, you can't code (i assume).
21:05 < owl> fake: oh. might someone should try it... coding from the other side (tm)
21:06 < fake>  /~ on the other side, i'll implement you again, on the other side .. ~/
21:06 < fake> (Silke Bischof tune in the background)
21:07 < owl> but you're right. we should support better those fscking managers and other guys to guarantee them a great carreer - until thei're firing us
21:07 < owl> *g* cool song ;P

21:54 < fake> (i always that that was voice recognition software?)
21:55 < esden> yes it is ... but only for windows
21:55 < esden> for linux it is a TTS sdk with samples
21:56 < esden> works pretty well and out of the box ... when you extract all you need out of the rpm's ;-)
21:57 < esden> the two links that are needed: https://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Emacspeak-HOWTO/appendixb.html and https://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~laird/Linux/ViaVoice/
21:57 < esden> I have not found the viavoice linux tarballs on the ibm site ... :-/
21:58 < esden> but everywhere in the net is being said that it should be there and for free ...
22:00 < fake> hm
22:00 < fake> <- trying it, too ;)
22:01 < esden> *GG*
22:01 < esden> there is a perl module for viavoice interfacing
22:01 * Mike1 made a linux workstation for a blindguy using emacspeak over 2 years ago
22:02 < esden> and how does it work ?
22:02 < esden> have you used as synthesizer ?
22:03 < Mike1> esdy very nicely, it is rocked :)
