00:00 <****> wow, I just freed 3 gigs of disk space with one command
00:00 <****> that was cool
00:00 <****> Blue89: how big is your HDD?
00:00 <****> 20 gigs... it's a craptop
00:00 <****> Blue89: rm -rf /home/blue89/porn ? =)
00:01 <****> No such thing! If I can run a webserver on less than 15GB, you can run a laptop on 20GB.
00:01 <****> if I can run my ipod on 20g, you should run your laptop on 20gb:)
00:01 <****> ironically, I am working with a 15 gig root right now
00:02 <****> Blue89: my / is 3.8GB
00:02 <****> I don't actually have a dekstop right now, although I plan to fix that soon, I am sick of this thing
00:02 <****> I just brought a rack mountable server! I'm happy! P
00:02 <****> on the bright side, you can watch porn in your bed with a laptop:)
00:02 <****> maul: ssssh :-)
00:02 <****> NightKhaos: only one? ;-)
00:02 <****> #gentoo-chat.
00:03 <****> not this one, the screen assembly is broke... combo of wear and tear and a slight defect I think
00:03 <****> I leave it on the desk connected to an external monitor
00:03 <****> bonsaikitten: yeah, saddly, only one... well it's gonna replace an old desktop that was loud, power hungry and had never heard of WakeOnLan.
00:03 <****> on the bright side, I have 3 extra gigs on the Zaurus :-)
00:03 <****> hehe
00:04 <****> NightKhaos: I have an old quad xeon, too loud to talk next to it ...
00:04 <****> hello, I am trying to update portage and keep getting ARCH is not set....any ideas? the link seems to be correct
00:04 <****> NeddySeagoon: if I get it right .. I have to do distcc-config on each machine ... on my fast workstation (192.168.1.2) I would need to write /usr/bin/distcc-config --set-hosts "localhost 192.168.1.3" (so it compiles for my laptop (...3) and my own server) right ?
00:04 <****> one of the few reasons I keep this thing around.. it's quieter than your average desktop. I hate fan noise
00:04 <****> well, looks like I'm giving up on gentoo...thanks for the help guys
00:04 <****> on my laptop I enter only 192.168.1.2 because I dont want to merge on its own
00:04 <****> =
00:05 <****> ?
00:05 <****> I probalby wouldn't survive a plane trip lol
00:05 <****> bonsaikitten: this is an AMD 600MHz iirc... I cbf finding out cause that would mean pulling apart my desktop to get the DVD drive out in order to boot off a Knoppix CD.
00:05 <****> i am logged into a terminal as su and tried to run qparted and it says qtparted: cannot connect to X server
00:05 <****> Pretoriab: that sounds normal :-)
00:05 <****> Pretoriab: use ssh -Y
00:05 <****> so i shoudl run sudo qtparted as my normal user ?
00:06 <****> sorry i am actually at my system not remote
00:06 <****> oh, as a user type xhost +
00:06 <****> btw... I am planning to buy a bluetooth mouse for my bluetooth enabled laptop, do ya think this is a good idea?
00:06 <****> to allow root access to you X server
00:06 <****> NightKhaos: if your bluetooth works fine ... why not ?
00:07 <****> i did that still the same
00:07 <****> bluetooth uses a lot of battery though
00:07 <****> Pretoriab: kdesu qtparted should work as a user
00:07 <****> if nothing else
00:07 <****> Santanabaer, put localhost in the list last always, so that jobs get sent to helpers first. Otherwise the localhost may run out of time to preprocess for the helpers
00:07 <****> i exited root and then typed xhost +, it said access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
00:08 <****> maul: so does wifi, and since this is a combination Intel Pro Wireless 3495G and Bluetooth chip, I would assume that using the bluetooth functions will have null affect on my current consumption.
00:08 <****> NeddySeagoon: ahh ok :)
00:08 <****> Pretoriab: so does qtparted as root work?
00:08 <****> no same error
00:08 <****> exit
00:08 <****> exit
00:08 <****> NightKhaos: I think bt would use some extra power, but I don't know for sure
00:09 <****> NeddySeagoon: anyway if I should not get it to work correctly I can always redo all my settings right ?
00:09 <****> maul: if it does, it will only be in the range of about 20 minutes worth.
00:09 <****> nothing I could damage
00:09 <****> ah yes it works maul
00:09 <****> thnx
00:09 <****> maul: I can get between 3.5 and 5.5 depending on what I am doing and if the BIOS is set to enable the backlight or not.
00:10 <****> NightKhaos: you can completely disable the screen's light from bios?
00:10 <****> Ya know, if blue PLCDs didn't have such a short useable life, I would ask Asus to replace this with a PLCD board.
00:10 <****> maul: not completely, just turn down, kinda a bitch to see sometimes.
00:11 <****> Language.
00:11 <****> Only works in dark places. :(
00:11 <****> hlieberman: sorry.
00:11 <****> my laptop only lasts 3-3,5 hours with the lowest possible screen light
00:11 <****> I heard you could actually save power by having a dark background:)
00:12 <****> anyone been able to get xen-sources to work?
00:13 <****> t35t0r: yes
00:13 <****> No, that is not entirely true, as most of the power goes into actually backlighting the LCD, compared to the backlight the LCD process actually uses very little power.
00:13 <****> maul: not on a notebook
00:13 <****> can someone help me with
00:14 <****> kernel
00:14 <****> :D
00:14 <****> mzbot, teach Guza about ask
00:14 <****> Guza: Just ask, don't ask to ask, don't ask who's familiar. Don't ask if anyone knows about it. Just ask the question, it's the easiest way to get people to answer :)
00:14 <****> unable to mount root fs via NFS
00:14 <****> Guza: pastebin your lspci
00:14 <****> trying floppy :S
00:14 <****> hello, i am trying to emerge --update --deep world, but world wants to install kdebase which cause many blocks, how can i stop worlding installing kdebase?? please
00:15 <****> Guza: your root fs either isn't specifed correct in grub.conf or lilo.conf or your root fs modules are not compiled into your kernel.
00:15 <****> bonsaikitten, which one 2.6.20 or 2.6.18? I couldn't get 2.6.20 to compile but I did for 2.6.18. I've been following the gentoo + xen guide but whenever I try to boot the dom0 2.6.18 kernel I keep getting invalid executable format ..here's my .config: http://rafb.net/p/1jMlwT83.html here's my grub.conf: http://rafb.net/p/K3S7Xs15.html
00:15 <****> t35t0r: I have .18 running at work
00:15 <****> t35t0r: ah, bzImage won't work
00:15 <****> junmin: sounds like a modular vs monolithic kde install conflict.
00:16 <****> t35t0r: you need a vmlinuz type image
00:16 <****> bonsaikitten, yes used the _dom0/vmlinuz file and also tried make0 install
00:16 <****> junmin: install kdebase-meta
00:16 <****> i have same grub conf
00:16 <****> junmin: I would recommend installing kdebase-meta which should remove the blocks.
00:16 <****> quick question
00:16 <****> well i must recompile kernel ?
00:17 <****> bonsaikitten, running file on vmlinuz reported it as a maximally compressed gzip
00:17 <****> NightKhaos, i am using gnome only actually .... just have a little kde app installed, like kopete and kcontrol...
00:17 <****> bonsaikitten you mean I need an uncompressed file?
00:17 <****> Guza: check your grub.conf / lilo.conf to check if the correct fs is being loaded.
00:18 <****> t35t0r: hmm, not sure what I did :-) It just works
00:18 <****> :(
00:18 <****> wel i have sata disc
