Channels #secrets and #!/bin/sh are bot-infested and we are juping them again. If you try to join those channels, you will be k-lined and will need to write to support@openprojects.net for help. Please don't, and if you see anyone asking someone to join one of those channels, tell them not to. Thanks again. 01:09:02 Good luck!

Linux <-> Windows? 21:13:01 this machine I'm on now, can accept X sessions from other machines (i run Xemacs off the sun box) 21:13:05 yes, Linux to Windows 21:13:17 ssh client? 21:13:28 from www.ssh.com 21:13:42 And yes, I have "X11 Tunneling" checked in the client 21:14:17 no clue then. Try running ssh -v -v -v to see what's going on 21:14:27 3 of those? 21:14:33 super verbosity 21:14:37 LOL 21:15:10 SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0 green@FreeBSD.org 20010321, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. 21:15:10 Compiled with SSL (0x0090601f). 21:15:15 and the error is: 21:15:24 nblyumbe@homer../usr/local>xterm 21:15:24 _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 60 21:15:24 xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 167.206.9.197:1.0 21:16:15 I'm going to repeat this question: When you SSH from the Windows box and you log in, What's the value of $DISPLAY? 21:16:31 nothing 21:16:49 i manually set it 21:16:56 to the ip of the machine I am using 21:17:01 Then one of your SSH ends is busted, and until you fix it, it won't work. Manually setting it doesn't work. 21:17:26 Not if you want to tunnel the X connection through SSH. 21:18:01 hmmm 21:18:02 odd 21:18:16 Now if you don't care about the tunnelling, then just make sure your X on Windows is listening and then set your $DISPLAY on the remote machine to :0.0 21:18:36 s/:0.0/167.206.9.197:0.0/ 21:18:43 right but then it's not tunneling and the firewalls/routers get in the way 21:18:49 Aha 21:18:55 :) 21:18:55 Then you have to fix your SSH ends. 21:19:02 How do I do that 21:19:15 I know my home machine works 21:19:25 I have no clue with the SSH from ssh.com. With OpenSSH from CygWin it would be the same as in Linux. 21:19:46 <-- trusts configuration files and vim much more than checkboxes on GUIs 21:20:29 yeah 21:20:41 have you tried ssh'ing from the DOS prompt? 21:21:07 There's got to be a config file even on the win version 21:21:19 SSH from a dos prompt? HAHAHA 21:21:21 that's funny 21:21:31 you think Windows would have something useful like that? 21:21:41 You have to install stuff just to get "uptime" 21:22:04 I've installed ssh from ssh.com and it had a command-line client 21:24:22 there's uptime for windows? Where? 21:32:21 vinod has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 21:36:04 For what version of windows 21:38:08 2k 21:39:04 Pro or Server? 21:41:27 pro 21:42:17 hold on 21:43:34 later 21:43:38 davb has quit () 21:44:27 bbiab 21:49:07 talli (~talli@ip64-75-147-64.dial.maui.net) has joined #openacs 21:57:24 talli has left #openacs 21:58:26 HOLY chit! 22:36:50 davb (~dave@alb-24-58-160-135.nycap.rr.com) has joined #OpenACS 22:37:55 hey 22:38:51 hi. 22:39:12 Arrays = evil 22:42:08 no they are your friend, but you must master them or they will not respect you. 22:42:39 i mean tcl arrays! 22:45:58 me too 22:47:13 they're not the most firstest class of objects... 22:47:45 you just have to remember that Tcl arrays are not like any arrays you may already know. 22:48:18 probably best to limit their scope of use 22:48:51 get database query into array, use array immediately, get rid of array 22:48:56 or like 22:49:24 They're eeeeevil 22:49:41 and on the brigther note 22:49:51 my boss actually gave me a hand today doing something useful 22:49:53 I will have to say, I do like first class data 22:50:11 wow :) you have three hands now? 22:50:26 yes! 22:51:33 inasmuch as aolserver has somewhat more useful arrays, you could use those 22:51:57 they're still not first class 22:54:25 Is Roberto still around? 22:54:32 * Psychephylax pokes rbm 23:09:33 * rbm acts poked 23:10:39 lol 23:10:51 HAve you looked at any Abit motherboards? 23:11:36 the Abit KR7A-RAID looks like it will give the DRAGON Plus a run for its money 23:12:33 6PCI vs 5PCI, UDMA 133, 4 DDR DIMM sockets vs 3 DDR DIMM sockets 23:12:35 :-D 23:12:45 And they cost the same I think 23:14:12 Did you look at the Tomshardware shoot out? 23:14:20 The Dragon+ beat the ASUS 23:14:28 Asus != Abit 23:14:35 s/ASUS/Abit/ 23:15:11 The shoot out was mostly looking at performance and stability though. 23:15:18 Ok, go back and look :) 23:15:23 then tell me where you see Abit 23:15:39 I'm not looking at the article right now. Don't even have the URL. 23:15:45 I don't doubt the Abit one is a good mobo 23:15:51 will this help: http://www.tomshardware.com/mainboard/01q4/011126/kt266a_nforce-11.html 23:15:56 :p 23:15:59 :-P 23:16:09 Your point is? 23:16:18 Abit!!! 23:16:21 ABIT!!! 23:16:26 a bit of common sense? 23:16:28 har har har 23:16:30 You like the Abit, buy the Abit 23:16:36 I like Asus 23:16:44 I can't afford either so it's a moot point for me. 23:16:45 Jesus was always good to the people 23:16:53 Ah 23:16:59 I can afford, but not going to 23:17:03 Saving my money for a car 23:17:19 New car? New used car? 23:18:02 New car 23:18:14 okay. 23:18:16 I already have a used car why would I want another? lol 23:18:31 Because you lose a lot of money with a new car. 23:18:37 lol 23:18:42 You lose money with anything you do 23:18:52 You buy stocks...you lose money 23:18:58 you go to work, you lose money 23:19:00 You lose a lot more with a new car. 23:19:03 you buy something, you lose money 23:19:08 Nah 23:19:16 you only lose the money if: 1. You lease 23:19:28 But hey, some people like to throw money away. Who am I to contest it? 23:19:30 2. You buy but the interest gets you 23:19:44 No interest if you give them the money upfront 23:20:06 You lose some 3-5 grand by driving out of the store. 23:20:20 That's some quick depreciation. 23:20:27 Well, that's true but only if it's not a test drive :p 23:20:40 What do you suggest then? I walk? 23:20:51 Nope. Do whatever you think is best for you. 23:21:07 Well, no, I already showed my pov, I wanna see others 23:22:16 I would buy a 1 year old car if I wanted a new car. I would lose a lot less. 23:22:54 With the 3-5 grand you would save, you could buy other stuff you need. 23:23:24 Yes, but what's preventing you from buying a car that has been in a car accident? 23:23:40 Not to mention, how did those people treat the engine and the rest of the car? 23:23:59 And the new car smell? 23:24:02 Hmmmmmmm? 23:24:25 There are online databases that ell you the history of a car. 23:24:47 You can always find someone that is mechanics-literate to go look ak the car with you. 23:25:35 There are parfums out there that replicate the new car smell. Leave it overnight in the car and you have the smell you would pay 5 thousand dollars for. 23:25:43 lol 23:25:53 That is true 23:26:06 jim: rbm: I solved the gcc problem. It was a mistake: before updating I copied /lib/* under /usr/lib/. So after updated to rh-7.2 there was old files (ld-linux.so.2 ..) under /usr/lib. 23:26:25 anlater: Ah. Yeah, that would screw you up :) 23:26:37 :) 23:26:38 Anyone has a SCSI burner to sell? 23:27:01 no :) 23:27:11 there's plextors for about $190 on pricewatch 23:27:17 eBay is not being very nice to me 23:27:38 $190 is a bit more than I can afford, unfortunately. 23:28:19 if you could, that would be the drive to get... but there are other scsi burners cheaper 23:28:19 jim: what speed? 23:28:29 I really wanted a plextor 23:28:41 I forget 23:28:46 Are the HP scsi burners good? 23:28:48 12-?-32? 23:28:51 heh 23:28:52 dunno 23:28:55 They're ok 23:29:09 the plextors can do cd-r and cd-rw 23:30:02 HP can too 23:30:16 Plextors are good for overburning 23:30:35 i'm going home 23:30:46 see ya guys next year...or some time before when I'm bored :-=) 23:35:26 HP are ok. 23:35:42 I don't think there is really a bad cd recorder these days. 23:38:42 Also why do you need a SCSI cd recorder? 23:38:59 I have been using IDE for over a year. I have a nice 16x TDK. It screams. 23:40:02 it's the burn stream... interrupt it... coaster... 23:40:18 easy to interrupt ide, hard to interrupt scsi 23:41:00 plus.. your machine could be doing kernel compiles and burning at the same time, and you have a good chance of getting a good cd 23:41:25 if you have everything scsi, that is 23:41:53 ide cuts into processor time, scsi doesn't (well, not in any way significantly) 23:48:14 I wanted to get a scsi burner, but given my budget constraints I think I'll get an IDE burner and save the money for a SCSI HD 23:48:56 I already bought the controller, so it would be nice to get a scsi burner thogh 23:56:44 Is there that much difference? I suspect they don't make the cheap burners in SCSI. SO you have to get a good one. 23:57:36 If you already have the controller I would probably go for SCSI. 23:58:03 I recommend against Yamaha, they only last about a year in my experience, usually a month or two longer than the warranty :) 23:58:16 I bought the controller for $12+$4 at eBay 23:58:52 davb: I'm trying to gradually move myself off of IDE. IDE is an ugly, horrible hack.
