00:00 <****> um, forget about that, it's too long.
00:00 <****> search a tutorial on google.
00:00 <****> it's easy enough, really.
00:00 <****> poo_naani: "9 days left until the DREAM becomes a REALITY" -- kde.org
00:01 <****> how to tell size of directory?
00:01 <****> trollinator they even admitted is not release quality!!
00:01 <****> kde 4 i meeeaaan
00:01 <****> y: 'du directory'
00:01 <****> y: du
00:01 <****> poo_naani, whats wrong with kde3.5.x ?
00:01 <****> poo_naani: nobody forces anyone to use KDE 4.
00:01 <****> i no
00:01 <****> KDE 3.5.8 is perfectly fine.
00:02 <****> kubuntu is gonna be available with 3.5 still
00:02 <****> and i use kubuntu
00:02 <****> poo_naani, master English, you're in Canada (apparently) so there isn't any excuse
00:02 <****> reboot for great justice... eh firefox. hope this will help - windows-reboot-feature you know ^^
00:02 <****> lol, probably wanted to jump on the trollwagon.. ;)
00:02 <****> and of course it's not release quality. They would have released it if it were.
00:02 * savetheWorld drubs tenex soundly with a fresh trout
00:02 <****> poo_naani: kubuntu 8.04 will have them both.
00:03 <****> poo_naani: just do your best. Prfect english is by no means a rquirement here
00:03 <****> tenex: In case you didnt notice the topic forthis channel says "Be Nice" Twice.
00:04 <****> no it doesn't
00:04 <****> heh
00:04 <****> hehe
00:04 <****> you n00b. :P
00:04 <****> it did, and it will again
00:04 <****> idiots deserve to be told that they're idiots...
00:04 <****> Torchwood, what doesnt
00:04 <****> I was being nice, quite nice ;)
00:04 <****> Indeed they do, Trollinator, You idiot. ^_^
00:05 <****> Armand_Laptop: that way pretty boring, you know.
00:05 <****> Yup, but.. you think I should make the effort??
00:06 <****> tenex: In case you didnt notice the topic forthis channel says "Be Nice" Twice.
00:06 <****> kbrooks: i was answering doc savage
00:06 <****> :-)
00:06 <****> doc savage is here?
00:06 <****> savetheWorld, You already said it, and I wasn't hateful by any means... I made what I felt was a useful suggestion
00:06 <****> anyway, I'm going to take a break ;), take care
00:06 * Armand_Laptop hands savetheWorld a phone number.. 0800-FBI-COVERUP *
00:06 <****> useful seggestion??? lol
00:06 <****> suggestion** I mea
00:06 <****> mean....
00:07 <****> Trollinator: d'oh. forgot to mount my (ntfs) partition on which the users of firefox are stored
00:07 <****> -.-
00:07 <****> this was the problem
00:07 <****> huh?
00:08 <****> Trollinator: i outsourced (is this the right word here!?) my profiles of firefox on a other partiton
00:08 <****> and this was not mounted
00:08 <****> firefox doesnt says "i can't load my profiles", it says "hey, i am running and i have no idea why i just don't work"
00:09 <****> i understood that. But that doesn't fix the warning with the SSL_whatever symbol, right?
00:09 <****> mom
00:09 <****> no, it doesnt
00:10 <****> guys, i leave cause it is night in my country and i need my sleep ;-)
00:10 <****> good night/good morning/good whatever to you all :)
00:10 <****> is there something like glade which uses yaml instead? or can glade be set to do that?
00:11 <****> YAML is not a GUI markup language. so no, there isn't-
00:12 <****> you do mean "YAML Ain't Markup Language", do you?
00:12 <****> Trollinator: yes, thought maybe someone represented GUI in it at one point
00:12 <****> Trollinator: yaml == yet another markup language ?
00:13 <****> according to german wikipedia, it stands for "YAML Ain't Markup Language"
00:13 <****> yaml can mark up whatever you want
00:14 <****> hey I have installed windows xp and it has erased grub mbr ... how do I to recover grub? I tryied livecd but grub-install /dev/hda say to me device not found
00:14 <****> How long does anyone suppose the md5sum command on a 200GB file will take?
00:14 <****> killown: maybe the device is /dev/sda
00:15 <****> hi
00:15 <****> microft thanks
00:16 <****> y about 5mins
00:16 <****> y maybe even longer so be patient
00:16 <****> microft: is your nick a shortened form of a well-known plagiaristic, bullying software company ? or does it refer to sherlock holmes's brother ?
00:18 <****> Torchwood, is your nick matching that of the really cheesey BBC drama series with acting so bad it could melt a planet, of a similar name?
00:18 <****> I have no relations what so ever with that company. But when i started using the nickname (long time ago) i didn't know it was a sherlock holmes reference either....
00:18 <****> Hey, it seems that some of my login users are set up to have their password expire. How do I change that?
00:19 <****> Torchwood: I guess I'll go with the sherlock holmes reference :)
00:19 <****> AzMoo: Delete their accounts so that their are no passwords to expire ;)
00:19 <****> AzMoo: usermod possibly
00:19 <****> </joke.
00:19 <****> Placid: yes, that's right. how very perceptive
00:20 <****> Triffid_Hunter: Any idea how it would be done for all users?
00:21 <****> AzMoo: cd home; for U in *; do usermod ... $U; done
00:21 <****> to clone a deivce /dev/sda must it be mounted first ?? using dd
00:21 <****> brif8: better if it's not mounted actually
00:21 <****> Triffid_Hunter: I was expecting some kind of setting somewhere, but that would be distribution specific, wouldn't it?
00:22 <****> according to wiki, mycroft was in first series of seaQuest DSV, in the episode "Photon Bullet", a reformed computer hacker- who used the handle "Mycroft", working at a underwater telecommunications node
00:22 <****> I've checked in login.defs and there doesn't seem to be anything relevant.
00:22 <****> brif8: if it's mounted when you clone it, it'll end up looking like the machine crashed and since it takes a while, you simply don't know how much of it is consistent
00:22 <****> AzMoo: it's a setting in /etc/passwd afaik
00:23 <****> Torchwood: also saw that episode when I was young, maybe it was there that I picked the name up
00:23 <****> Triffid_Hunter: ok, ta.
00:23 <****> hello, with pthread if i create a thread (B) from the main thread (A). In (B) i create a rwlock (C), i initialize it. Can i lock (C) from (A) in read ?
00:23 <****> Triffid_Hunter: /dev/sda is just a small 4GB thumb drive, so it shouldn't take too long???? It's a linux image I created I want to create a copy in case it messes up or something
00:24 <****> brif8: thumb drives are kind of slow in reads
00:24 <****> brif8: hm, I'd suggest mounting it read-only, then cp-avx to a directory. that way you won't need to find another drive of the exact same size if you lose it
00:25 <****> brif8: do it as root so /dev andsetuids don't get messed up
00:25 <****> microft depends on brand
00:26 <****> microft, I think most usbs read pretty fast but writes are slow :/, (usually after containin alot of data)
