[11:48] <clifford> I'd send a new one - but it doesn't make much of a difference.
[11:49] <daja77> ok
[11:58] <daja77> i thought smap could reverse apply patches
[11:59] <owl> wow. "arbeitsagentur" is a _very_ funny institution
[11:59] <daja77> ah ok, my fault ^^
[12:00] <blindcoder> sure is
[12:00] <blindcoder> they have a lot of fun on you

[12:02] <owl> well - at least the net-admin didnt tell me that it's impossible to hack the DB... (which the people wanted to tell me yesterday)
[12:10] <blindcoder> hehe

[19:44] <mnemoc> passwd ?
[19:44] <mnemoc> what problem do you have?
[19:45] <matto> i added -m but i still can´t log in
[19:45] <matto> i also tried to add -p password
[19:45] <blindcoder> matto: which rock did you install?
[19:46] <mnemoc> matto: what error? what does the log say?
[19:46] <blindcoder> there's a bit of a pam problem in an older version
[19:47] <matto> oh i just downloaded a pair of "unofficial" cds from rocklinux.org i think it was crystal ROCK rev. 4641
[19:47] <blindcoder> ehm, yes
[19:47] <blindcoder> that one definately has it
[19:47] <matto> oh
[19:47] <blindcoder> you need to install cracklib manually
[19:47] <blindcoder> before you can set passwords
[19:47] <blindcoder> or you can just download the 5922 version :)
[19:47] <matto> it comes not with the cd?
[19:48] <blindcoder> no, that's a bug that has been fixed in the meantime
[19:48] <blindcoder> what system are you installing on?
[19:48] <matto> it was your build i think
[19:48] <blindcoder> yes, it was
[19:49] <blindcoder> but what hardware are you installing on?
[19:49] <matto> an old notebook k6-3 500 
[19:49] <blindcoder> hrm
[19:49] <blindcoder> can't install the 5922 build then
[19:49] <blindcoder> as it is done for pentium3
[19:49] <matto> yes
[19:49] <matto> this machine is 586
[19:49] <blindcoder> try installing cracklib
[19:49] <blindcoder> that should do the trick

[20:05] <th> yes if i do guess correctly what you mean
[20:05] <nick01> something like portage ?

[20:08] <nick01> then which one should I get >?
[20:09] <blindcoder> there's a 2-cd set for pmmx which will work but has a bug wrt. pam that can be rectified by manually installing cracklib
[20:09] <th> there should be some recent crystal-emu sets

[20:10] <blindcoder> the latest and greatest and buggiest is the 5922 
[20:10] <nick01> I mean unstable :P
[20:11] <blindcoder> well, then you'll have to build it from scratch by yourself
[20:11] <blindcoder> nick01: see https://doc.rocklinux.org/wiki/BuildingDistributions
[20:11] <blindcoder> for a HowTo
[20:11] <nick01> what about unofficial isos ?
[20:11] <blindcoder> as you can see, those are either broken or not for your processor
[20:11] <matto> how "old" ist 2.0.3 ?
[20:11] <daja77> a pity nookie did not report if my latest crystal worked for him
[20:12] <blindcoder> it's the recent -stable release

[20:12] <matto> ok thanks
[20:13] <matto> another question, how do i know if rocklinux is the right distribution?
[20:13] <matto> (for me)
[20:13] <blindcoder> a) by trying it
[20:13] <th> matto: the answer is no.
[20:13] <blindcoder> b) by defining what "the right distribution" is for you
[20:13] <nick01> blindcoder: your isos on the ftp- are they 2.0 or 2.1 ?
[20:13] <th> matto: cause it is NOT a distribution
[20:13] <blindcoder> c) by listening to th :)
[20:14] <blindcoder> nick01: TRUNK
[20:14] <blindcoder> nick01: 2.1 has been renamed
[20:14] <blindcoder> hmm
[20:14] <nick01> blindcoder: renamed TRUNK ? :d
[20:14] <blindcoder> should update doc
[20:14] <blindcoder> nick01: yes
[20:15] <blindcoder> nick01: see https://www.rocklinux.net/lurker/message/20050302.140013.c9f684a9.html
[20:16] <matto> i do not like debian and gentoo, and archlinux (on my other machine) is 686 up. i want a small system with few textfiles to configure it and a network tool to install software, like pacman and i thougt that rocket does the job?
[20:17] <daja77> it will do for crystal
[20:18] <th> matto: the point is that rock is not a distribution. it's a tool to build distributions on your own.
[20:19] <th> matto: and then there is crystal - a full featured reference distribution
[20:19] <matto> th: ok then i think i want crystal
[20:19] <blindcoder> th: any objection if I punch that into ROCKDoc for now?
[20:19] <th> blindcoder: you mean what i just said?
[20:20] <blindcoder> yeah
[20:20] <th> blindcoder: no objections at all.
[20:20] nick01_ (~nick01@home-07031.b.astral.ro) joined #rocklinux.
[20:20] <blindcoder> until I find time to write something real around it
[20:20] <th> blindcoder: it's propably a good idea - cause we are telling that over and over again
[20:21] <nick01_> k- so where do I get my trunk iso ?
[20:21] <th> nick01_: what do you think a trunk iso is?
[20:21] <nick01_> devel iso ?
[20:21] <th> nick01_: "trunk" is not a distribution
[20:21] <nick01_> I know
[20:21] <daja77> but there a still some isos to play with ...
[20:21] <nick01_> I want a iso
[20:21] <th> nick01_: "trunk" is a specification of a revision of the distribution build kit
[20:22] <th> nick01_: play with crystal
[20:22] <nick01_> so where do I find the latest iso ?
[20:22] <th> nick01_: at https://iso.rocklinux.de
[20:23] <nick01_> lol
[20:23] <nick01_> which one ?
[20:23] <th> which what?
[20:23] <nick01_> ISO !!!
[20:23] <th> the latest.
[20:23] <blindcoder> please, no shouting
[20:23] <matto> hi so is it worth to try crystal rev. 5370 from thomas "fake" jakobi 
[20:23] <blindcoder> we can read just fine in lowercase :)
[20:23] <nick01_> the latest is daja
[20:23] <blindcoder> that should be Mostly Bugfree(tm)
[20:23] <th> matto: "fake" only publishes high quality  ;-)
[20:24] <th> nick01_: then "daja"
[20:24] <nick01_> but there are more than one
[20:24] <th> nick01_: true
[20:24] <nick01_> a fake then ?
[20:25] <th> nick01_: i don't understand that question.
[20:25] <nick01_> from the fake dir :)
[20:25] <th> nick01_: these 4 words even contain no verb.
[20:25] <nick01_> lol
[20:25] <matto> th: ok! ;-) i´ll give that a try. 
[20:25] <matto> lol
[20:26] <nick01_> ftp://iso.rocklinux.de/unofficial/fake/
[20:26] <blindcoder> https://iso.rocklinux.de/default.php?dir=/unofficial/fake/crystal/x86/
[20:26] <th> nick01_: sorry - but it's hard for me to understand you if you dont use verbs.
[20:26] <blindcoder> only one crystal from fake
[20:26] <th> blindcoder: lost verbs too?
[20:26] <blindcoder> verbs for weaklings
[20:26] <blindcoder> real men everything! :)
[20:26] <th> oh i see
[20:26] <matto> is rocklinux a mostly german linux-build-kit whatever
[20:27] <nick01_> blindcoder: does it have KDE ? or gnome or what ?
[20:27] <th> verbs - bad things.
[20:27] <matto> lol
[20:27] <th> verbs - the enemy
[20:27] <blindcoder> nick01_: kde
[20:27] <th> no verbs anymore.
[20:27] <nick01_> blindcoder: what version ? the fake one I mean :P
[20:27] <blindcoder> crystal is a kde distribution if you want to say so
[20:27] <blindcoder> nick01_: 3.3.2 I think
[20:27] Action: nick01_ wants 3.4
[20:27] <blindcoder> then build your own
[20:27] <th> matto: it's roots are austrian.
[20:28] <th> matto: there is a developer gallery somewhere - you can do some statistics on the nationalities there ;-]
[20:28] <nick01_> isn't there a build with 3.4 ?
[20:28] <blindcoder> there is, for p3
[20:28] <nick01_> :(
[20:28] <matto> th: i am german ;)
[20:29] <th> matto: me too
[20:29] <blindcoder> nick01_: look at https://doc.rocklinux.org/wiki/BuildingDistributions
[20:29] <blindcoder> nick01_: to learn how to build your own
[20:29] <nick01_> :/
[20:29] <nick01_> that's too much
[20:29] <th> blindcoder: he propably has no computer.
[20:29] <th> blindcoder: so he cant build
[20:30] <blindcoder> livecd :)
[20:30] <nick01_> lol
[20:30] <daja77> blindcoder: and besides, rock should be usable without compiling ...
[20:30] <nick01_> I just don't wanna compile stuff like kde and x myself
[20:30] <blindcoder> daja77: it is
[20:31] <blindcoder> daja77: if you use the -stable releas and don't insist on bleeding-edge software
[20:31] <th> ...or are capable of working around some problems...
[20:31] Action: blindcoder nods sagely
[20:32] nick01_ (~nick01@home-07031.b.astral.ro) left irc: "Leaving"
[20:33] <matto> rocklinux has it´s own package format, does it? is there an "easy" to use building system (i mean setting up a directory and writing one ore two config files)
[20:33] <blindcoder> what do you mean witd building system?
[20:33] <th> there was a word missing
[20:33] <blindcoder> th: let me guess: a verb? :)
[20:34] <th> blindcoder: dont know. might be.
[20:35] <matto> blindcoder: archlinux has a so called building system. you have to make a directory and place a packagescript into it. then running makepkg makes a archlinux.pkg.tar.gz
[20:35] <th> ahhh
[20:35] <th> no
[20:35] <th> nothing missing
[20:35] <th> got it now
[20:36] <th> matto: yes there is an easy-to-use-building-system
[20:36] <th> matto: there is a generic build (486) build-bootstrap package selection
[20:36] <th> matto: you can easily extract it (tar) and build from within
[20:37] nick01 (~nick01@home-07031.b.astral.ro) left irc: Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)
[20:37] <th> matto: only talking of 2.0-stable here.
[20:37] <th> dont know if there is a build-bootstrap-like distribution for trunk
[20:40] <blindcoder> livecd :)
[20:41] <blindcoder> there's also mkpkg and mine
[20:41] <th> is livecd finally capable of building a target?
[20:41] <blindcoder> yes
[20:41] <th> cool
[20:41] <blindcoder> at least to my knowledge
[20:43] <blindcoder> damn
[20:44] <blindcoder> don't you just hate that after reading/writing english for some time you start thinking in english?
[20:44] <daja77> hehe
