[12:39] Nick change: blindcod1r -> blindcoder
[12:56] <blindcoder> damn
[12:56] <blindcoder> I just find myself writing a new mkinitrd for ROCK
[14:30] <th> blindcoder: what was up?
[14:35] [anders-mcafee] (~snafu@82-68-84-60.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk) joined #rocklinux.
[14:36] <blindcoder> th: just a question about rescue until i realised that it wouldn't solve my problem anyway
[14:43] maddin (~martin@pD9E73B29.dip.t-dialin.net) joined #rocklinux.
[14:48] <th> blindcoder: i'm sure rescue can solve _all_ of your problems.
[14:48] <th> .oO( gain 3 inches by using rocklinux rescue system )
[14:50] <mnemoc_> o_O
[15:00] <blindcoder> heh
[15:01] <blindcoder> th: well, for replacing the current initrd rescue is probably one of the less suitable solutions
[15:01] [anders-mcafee] (~snafu@82-68-84-60.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk) left irc: "using sirc version 2.211+KSIRC/1.3.11"
[15:01] <blindcoder> alas, I've already rewritten it to be much more expandable etc.
[15:02] <blindcoder> first boot will be after lunch
[15:02] <blindcoder> hmm
[15:02] <blindcoder> guess I could try right now, too
[15:05] <blindcoder> brb
[15:09] <blindcoder> almost
[15:09] <blindcoder> wow
[15:09] <blindcoder> just found an open wlan at my neighbors
[15:10] <blindcoder> have to poke in it some time
[15:11] <blindcoder> brb
[15:16] <blindcoder> and here I am :)
[15:17] <blindcoder> booted with rockinitrd (the new stuff) and everything's fine :)
[15:23] <netrunner> https://www.newkerala.com/news-daily/news/features.php?action=fullnews&id=73172
[15:25] <netrunner> th: is there openvpn on rescue?
[15:37] <th> netrunner: of course. if you put it in your overlay
[15:42] <blindcoder> new initrd stuff sent to ML for consideration
[15:54] Action: blindcoder making lunch now
[15:54] <blindcoder> bbl
[15:56] <netrunner> no, I don't think about cheating with this ordering link: https://www.jochen-schweizer.de/?title=info&ID=Kochkurs%20-%20Thai%20K%FCche
[16:42] <blindcoder> anyone want some sesame oil fried chicken wings?
[16:56] <blindcoder> phew, that was good ^_^
[17:01] Action: fake extreme r00m cl34nz0r1ng
[17:01] <fake> terrooooooooooor!
[17:07] <blindcoder> T-Com?
[17:26] maddin (~martin@pD9E73B29.dip.t-dialin.net) left irc: "Verlassend"
[17:59] <blindcoder> okay, why the hell did my touchpads scroll function stop working?
[18:04] <mnemoc_> did you have touchpads scrolling??
[18:05] <blindcoder> okay, evdev wasn't loaded
[18:05] <blindcoder> yes
[18:06] <blindcoder> if I "move" on the right boundary of the touchpad it's like using the "up/down" scrollwheel of a normal mouse
[18:06] <blindcoder> same goes for the lower boundary and the "left/right" scrollwheel
[18:06] <mnemoc_> how can i have that? :)
[18:07] <blindcoder> use the synaptics driver in XF86Config and load the evdev module
[18:07] <blindcoder> one gets used to that quite fast :)
[18:09] <mnemoc_> uhm.... my mouse is: /dev/input/mice .... i guess i should set two mouse InputDevices
[18:11] <blindcoder> yes
[18:11] <mnemoc_> man xorg.conf :'(
[18:11] <blindcoder> I can paste you the part of my config if you want
[18:12] <mnemoc_> yes, please
[18:12] <blindcoder> query
[18:12] <mnemoc_> sure
[18:31] Action: blindcoder making something evil now
[18:32] <blindcoder> writing a loop-aes/cipher module for my new initrd stuff and then encrypting my rootfs :D
[18:48] Action: daja77 waves
[18:56] Action: netrunner swinging the iron
[18:56] Action: daja77 points and laughs at netrunner 
[18:59] <blindcoder> hi daja77 
[18:59] <blindcoder> what iron?
[19:00] <netrunner> blindcoder: the thing you use (or should use) to flatten clothes
[19:01] <blindcoder> aaah
[19:02] <blindcoder> the ironing iron :)
[19:02] <blindcoder> well, the stuff I have to iron isn't dry yet :(
[19:02] <blindcoder> but when it is dry I'll be busy for around 3 hours
[19:02] <blindcoder> every ironed a hakama?
[19:03] <blindcoder> s/every/ever/
[19:03] <netrunner> hakuna matata?
[19:04] <blindcoder> *kick*
[19:05] <blindcoder> https://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/j/Hakama.jpg
[19:07] <fake> daja77: the... iron... sword! haah!
[19:19] <blindcoder> okay, stone module is done...
[20:11] <blindcoder> hmm
[20:11] <blindcoder> would ROCK if that works now
[20:12] <blindcoder> then I could encrypt filesystems of running systems now :D
[20:19] <netrunner> blindcoder: I think your idea should be merged with the rescue target. the registration sounds good.
[20:19] <netrunner> blindcoder: but it is duplicate effort imho
[20:21] <blindcoder> netrunner: still the problem remains that the rescue target is a target, not a package
[20:21] <blindcoder> netrunner: how would you easily integrate it into a build?
[20:28] <netrunner> blindcoder: you could autodetect the initrd size ...
[20:30] <netrunner> blindcoder: you shouldn't use a fixed inode number, better just count the files.
[20:30] <blindcoder> inode number?
[20:31] <blindcoder> I just use mkfs.ext2 like the current mkinitrd
[20:31] SteffenP (~steffen@pD9E50C9C.dip.t-dialin.net) joined #rocklinux.
[20:31] <blindcoder> oh great
[20:31] <blindcoder> my laptops eth0 pins are screwed
[20:32] Action: blindcoder downloading 800MB via 802.11b instead of 100BaseTX :/
[20:32] <netrunner> blindcoder: you say -N 180, which fixes a number of 180 inodes
[20:32] <blindcoder> hmm
[20:32] <blindcoder> thought that was the time to be checked
[20:32] Action: blindcoder should read man pages before copying code
[20:34] <blindcoder> netrunner: will have a swing at that as soon as I tested the current changes
[20:37] <blindcoder> crystal_4641_dvd_cd1.iso                       21%  168MB 542.8KB/s   19:39 ETA

[22:05] <fake> hi nguru !
[22:06] Action: fake away away
[22:07] <blindcoder> o_O
[22:07] <blindcoder> fake is acting weird today
[22:13] <steffen_> nguru? was das?
[22:14] <steffen_> hmmm this beer tastes good.. 
[22:17] <blindcoder> which?
[22:17] <steffen_> Becks
[22:17] <blindcoder> hmm
[22:17] <blindcoder> haven't had beer in some time
[22:18] <steffen_> since i have to work overtime everyday we meet with the people at work even after work and drink one or two bottles
[22:18] <blindcoder> heh, nice
[22:18] <blindcoder> here in berlin you hardly get any good beer
[22:19] <blindcoder> now a judge even ruled that they are allowed to put sugar into beer here!
[22:19] <blindcoder> SUGAR! IN BEER!
[22:19] <blindcoder> ARGH!
[22:19] <steffen_> blindcoder: jups they had to allow it so they can get money from the beer-tax
[22:20] <steffen_> if not the owner of this beer said he won't pay
[22:20] <steffen_> hmm in Berlin hmmm i don't know what a friend of mine there always both for beer but this was good
[22:20] <blindcoder> in bavaria he wouldn't have been allowed to do so
[22:20] <blindcoder> because there beer has only 7% dream-tax
[22:21] <steffen_> blindcoder: he will.. if it goes about getting money for tax .. the bavarian people would be the first who sell everyting..
[22:21] <steffen_> ohh no the second the first would be people from schwaben
[22:21] <blindcoder> steffen_: no. beer in bavaria: 7% dream tax, anywhere else: 16%
[22:22] <steffen_> blindcoder: yep and and to producer have to pay a tax called beer tax..
[22:22] <steffen_> thats why the court was about..
[22:22] <steffen_> the producer said.. if he is not allowed to call his beer beer, he won't pay the beer-tax
[22:22] <steffen_> beer tax is just like the Öko-Tax
[22:23] <steffen_> you pay it without seeing it on any bill.
[22:23] <blindcoder> like the A with a ~ above it inverted capital V ko-Tax?
[22:23] <steffen_> Oeko i mean
[22:23] <blindcoder> ah :)
[22:24] <blindcoder> just talk german with me :P
[22:24] <steffen_> sorry i use utf8
[22:24] <steffen_> :)
[22:24] <steffen_> oky kann ik machn..
[22:24] <steffen_> :)
[22:24] <blindcoder> I haven't got utf8 working here :(
[22:24] <blindcoder> well, I haven't really bothered, either
[22:24] <steffen_> here it is.. working very well.
[22:25] <blindcoder> how'd you set it up?
[22:25] <steffen_> dpkg-reconfigue locale
[22:25] <steffen_> :)
[22:25] <steffen_> or vi .bashrc
[22:25] <steffen_> end add there export line for the LANG variable.
[22:26] <steffen_> the rest if everything is installed well should work alone..
[22:26] <blindcoder> well, it didn't work at all here
[22:27] <steffen_> hmmm yeah the most here use rock linux.. i guess.
[22:27] <blindcoder> mostly because nearly everything I ran said that foo.utf8 wasn't available and it would just use C instead
[22:27] <steffen_> i tried using it but it takes the same amount of time as LFS.
[22:27] Action: blindcoder directs steffen_ to one of the precompiled versions
[22:27] <steffen_> hmm you can select more then one LANG value.. there is a fallback value
[22:27] <steffen_> hmmm 
[22:27] Action: steffen_ is tooo lazy...
[22:28] <steffen_> maybe when i have my big one week vacation in may
[22:28] <blindcoder> heh
[22:28] <blindcoder> I haven't scheduled any vacation until august
[22:28] <steffen_> is there a easy rock install build for laptops i mean old ones?
[22:29] <steffen_> hmmm by august i have all together already 4 or 5 weeks..
[22:29] <steffen_> :o)
[22:29] <steffen_> and i will have worked out another 5 or 6 weeks off just by overtime
[22:29] <blindcoder> heh
[22:30] <blindcoder> yeah, maybe I'll get a few hours of overtime until then
[22:30] <steffen_> hmm
[22:30] <steffen_> i will have more then 200 hours
[22:30] <blindcoder> though that's a very big maybe
[22:30] <steffen_> :o)
[22:31] <steffen_> do you have a small installation for old laptops?
[22:32] nguru (~nikki@81.223.152.26) left irc: Remote closed the connection
[22:33] <blindcoder> hmm
[22:33] <blindcoder> I'm running a Acer Travelmate 660, 1.5GHz, 512MB RAM
[22:33] <blindcoder> does that count as old?
[22:33] <steffen_> no
[22:33] <steffen_> 300mhz
[22:33] <steffen_> thats old
[22:33] <blindcoder> hmm
[22:34] <blindcoder> pentium-mmx already?
[22:34] <steffen_> hmmm celereon
[22:35] <blindcoder> okay, then grab yourself one of the isos and you're fine
[22:35] <steffen_> hmm i will
