[12:23] <SerWou> damned
[12:23] <blindcoder> hm?
[12:23] <blindcoder> heh
[12:24] <SerWou> export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome24/bin solve my problem 
[12:24] <blindcoder> yes, but it doesn't find the cause
[12:24] <SerWou> i had /usr/bin /usr/local/bin
[12:24] <blindcoder> have you just emerged your first gnome24 proram?
[12:24] <SerWou> echo $PATH
[12:24] <SerWou> i'm emerging gimp2.2
[12:25] <blindcoder> okay, have you had the /opt/gnome24 program before you logged in?
[12:25] <SerWou> no
[12:26] <blindcoder> okay, there's the problem
[12:26] <blindcoder> if you login next time it will be in the path

[13:21] <daja77> >_<
[13:21] <blindcoder> daja77: ^_^
[13:21] <blindcoder>         ^-- the way to go
[13:22] <daja77> i tried to set the ld_blibrary_path for pingus but it has noeffect
[13:23] <blindcoder> LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
[13:24] <daja77> yes
[13:24] <blindcoder> doesn't it use the clanlib it was linked against?
[13:24] <daja77> i have two different versions of clanlib it it links against the wrong one
[13:25] <daja77> the package still breaks when compiling because it can't link against the new one
[13:28] <blindcoder> no --with-clanlib option?
[13:29] <blindcoder> whoops
[13:29] <blindcoder> now I have a dual-encrypted harddisk...
[13:29] <blindcoder> ph34r the power of switch if= and of=
[13:34] <daja77> no well the point is not that it would not find the paths but it fins /usr/lib earlier
[13:35] <blindcoder> daja77: why not install both in /opt?
[13:35] <blindcoder> /opt/clanlib06 /opt/clanlib07
[13:36] <daja77> don't know if i have to touch other packges when doin this
[13:36] <blindcoder> don't know, which packages are using clanlib?
[13:36] <daja77> just grepping for them
[13:38] <daja77> only hermes and pingus for old clanlib
[13:39] <blindcoder> that's manageable :)
[13:40] <daja77> yep
[13:40] Action: blindcoder looking forward to encypting his laptops rootfs ^^
[13:53] <daja77> clanlib: package/kasc/clanlib/clanlib.conf: line 64: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
[13:53] <daja77> O_o the file doesn't end there ..
[13:55] <blindcoder> does it source some other file?
[13:55] <blindcoder> that fscks up bash's line numbering
[13:56] <daja77> hexedit shows a eof char strange
[13:57] <blindcoder> o_O
[13:57] <blindcoder> you have messed that up quite nicely :)
[13:58] <daja77> but how
[13:58] <daja77> the statement itself looks perfectly sane, like the if above
[14:01] <daja77> ok found that one
[14:01] <daja77> :)
[14:04] <th> fake: ping
[14:04] <th> hey folks
[14:05] <daja77> hi th
[14:06] <th> blindcoder: you really did not understand the rescue idea
[14:06] <blindcoder> th: that's what I keep telling you
[14:06] <th> yea
[14:07] <blindcoder> and how would I understand it with the (lack of) documentation there is?
[14:07] <th> UTSL ;)
[14:07] <blindcoder> I did and I didn't get what it was doing there, either
[14:07] <th> i\m not really serious though
[14:08] <th> blindcoder: if you were at the source already - do you want me to answer some questions about details?
[14:08] <th> i'm willing to try to improve the system to be suitable for "simple booting"
[14:08] <blindcoder> th: two questions: how does it work and how can I extend it?
[14:08] <blindcoder> well, the second only, really
[14:08] <th> blindcoder: "fine" and "easily" ;-[
[14:08] <th> blindcoder: "fine" and "easily" ;-p
[14:08] <blindcoder> forget the first second
[14:09] <blindcoder> s/second/question/
[14:09] <th> ;)
[14:09] <th> i assume you understood the main point of that target.
[14:09] <th> it's "in-a-tar"
[14:09] <blindcoder> yes
[14:09] <th> so to get the system you extract a tar
[14:09] <th> and the idea how to extend is easy:
[14:09] <th> just create a second tar
[14:10] <th> which is extracted after the first
[14:10] <th> and then there is a /etc/boot.d/
[14:10] <th> where you can put files in to be exectuted
[14:10] <th> and yes - ATM it's overkill to use it to just boot a simple system
[14:11] <th> i do that though
[14:11] <blindcoder> well, one can also boot from a full blown filesystem on a usb-stick :)
[14:13] <blindcoder> anyway, rescue being overkill isn't necessarily bad
[14:13] <blindcoder> having an environment where you can get the system back into a usable state in case Something Bad Happens is a Good Thing
[14:13] <blindcoder> but atm it's just too cumbersome to use
[14:15] <th> to quote yourself:
[14:15] <th> It's certainly cumbersome having to download a 15MB iso or building a
[14:15] <th> sounds like a complain about the size to me
[14:15] <th> or whats the core of that?
[14:16] <blindcoder> no, it's cumbersome that I have to download it after the system is installed
[14:16] <blindcoder> so, to get encryption going I'd have to:
[14:16] <blindcoder> somehow get rescue
[14:16] <th> aehm.
[14:16] <blindcoder> create the tarball
[14:16] <th> you are talking about the encryption application only?
[14:16] <blindcoder> and then getting the system to boot from there
[14:16] <th> i mean:
[14:17] <blindcoder> th: that and whatever else there might be (root on RAID, etc)
[14:17] <th> ATM the rescue target is only a _rescue_ target.
[14:17] <th> not a multiple purpose boot-stage
[14:17] <th> _if_
[14:17] <th> it would be a multiple purpose rescue target.
[14:17] <th> you would not have to download it
[14:17] <blindcoder> yes, but I got the impression that you want it also to be used as a boot environment?
[14:17] <th> cause it would've been distributed with the system you want to boot with it
[14:18] <th> blindcoder: i just said two things:
[14:18] <th> 1) personally, i'm using it.
[14:18] <th> 2) it would be possible to use it.
[14:18] <th> the 2) would imply adaption and distribution with the system itself
[14:19] <blindcoder> then I got that completely wrong some ages ago :(
[14:19] Action: blindcoder goes into a dark corner and hangs his head in shame
[14:19] <th> what exactly did you get?
[14:20] <blindcoder> I thought you wanted the current boot process to be entirely replaced by rescue
[14:20] <th> omg
[14:20] <th> how could you think that/
[14:20] <th> i'm not the kind of person forcing people to use special stuff.
[14:20] <th> i only provide stuff and let them choose
[14:21] <blindcoder> dunno :/
[14:21] <th> and i think that the current rescue is not very suitable for simple booting
[14:21] <blindcoder> maybe I had a bad dream about that once :)
[14:22] <th> btw: what's the status of kexec?
[14:22] <blindcoder> kexec?
[14:24] <th> yea
[14:24] <blindcoder> what's kexec?
[14:24] <th> exec for kernel?
[14:25] <blindcoder> kernel mode linux? or what?
[14:25] Action: blindcoder confused
[14:26] <th> Kexec is a patch to the Linux kernel that allows you to boot directly to a new kernel from the currently running one.
[14:27] <blindcoder> nice
[14:27] <th> that way you could have a different kernel in your productive system than in your boot-system
[14:27] <th> that would be cool
[14:28] <blindcoder> indeed
[14:50] <th> hmmm - what would a boot system be without bootsplash and nice graphics?
[14:50] Action: th got inspired to play with some low-level kernel stuff
[14:55] <blindcoder> hehe
[15:02] Action: blindcoder making a backup of his lapto now
[15:09] <blindcoder> fake: FR for livecd: ipw2100!
[15:28] <th> hmm my gf tried installing a trunk-crystal (iso from unofficial/fake/) and it just kernel panics on boot
[15:29] <th> (process swapper)
[15:37] <blindcoder> 10% of backup complete :(
[15:44] Action: blindcoder --> bath
