00:39.34Leedsboth
00:40.38Leedswork, but going to a Linux/free/open source software conference this week
00:41.42Leedsand now I can't unmount a filesystem I want to take with me
00:42.11JAVtry with "exit"
00:42.33JAVon all open consoles
00:44.02Leedsmanaged it by hitting nfsd over the head with a sudo-ed vim :-)
00:45.07JAVheh
00:45.51Leedsthere are at least two reasons to use an external drive to store one's 'backups' - one reason is that it's by far the easiest way to add storage to a Mac mini, another is so you can just unplug it and take it with when you go abroad :-)
01:25.32JAVgood flight Leeds
01:25.37JAVbedtime for me

07:36.35Leedsthat's the sort of thing which wins you a Rory
07:37.24mozrata rory?
07:37.42LeedsI bet the south park movie would win the most fucks per minute if you just took the one song :-)
07:37.44LeedsRory
07:40.38Leedsthe award for the most gratuitous use of the word fuck in a serious screenplay

09:08.50Georgehi.
09:09.27formiI have a very newbie question to ask
09:10.12formiare there public Suse 9.2 RPM repositories?
09:16.26mozrathey formi
09:16.38mozratformi: yes there are
09:17.49mozratftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2/suse
09:19.01mozrathmm, can't see many RPM files there though
09:21.05formii am just after one package
09:21.17formithe maradns server
09:22.26formiI have the first 5 cds, not sure if there is a 6th and it is not there
09:24.37wethrinformi: rpmfind.net may be of use
09:27.25formiit wasn't

09:30.44formiLeeds: hey long time
09:31.26LeedsI have never before in my life been required to sign an indemnity form before getting on a plane - because the airline policy is to send tickets only to country of departure, but require a return ticket to be in hand
09:31.30Leedsformi: hey... how's things?
09:32.46eye69Leeds: Having to sign that seems terribly weird.
09:34.04formiquite boring, funny marketing dept wants to put my pic on the website, I am going to ask for per click royalties
09:36.06Leedseye69: Sri Lankan policy is that you must either hold a visa which lets you stay indefinitely, or a return ticket.  I have booked a return ticket, but Cathay's site only allows you to provide an address in Sri Lanka for a flight originating in Sri Lanka.  Last time I did this, they never even bothered sending the ticket, and I just picked it up at the airport on the way out
09:37.36wethrinwoot. Another week and I can pay off all my debts
09:37.46Leedsand the woman could not explain to me in any significant way how a confirmed booking actually differed from a piece of paper saying "ticket"
09:39.27Leedsanyway, I am travelling armed with Slackware CDs and a serious intention of using them :-)
09:39.46wethrin"Install Slackware on this plane or else..."
09:40.35Leedsmore for use at the factory
09:40.53wethrinmm
09:41.01eye69Slackware? You terrorist!
09:41.39Leedsit did just strike me that using "armed with and intention of using them" on a public wifi at the airport might not go down well :-)
09:41.43wethrin:-)
09:42.00eye69Leeds: Look behind you!
09:42.55Leedseh... Cathay deserve what's coming to them
09:46.58wethrinLeeds: You? :)
09:47.24Leedsindeed
09:48.05wethrinheh
09:50.20Leedsibot change 14760 hkd to gbp
09:50.38Leedsibot change 106354 lkr to gbp
09:51.15Leedsand that's why I'm having this trouble - a return from Hong Kong to Sri Lanka costs almost twice as much as one going the other way, for the same dates
09:58.46mozratat last!
10:00.00Georgehey mozrat
10:00.21mozrathey George
10:02.23Leedsah well, time to go
10:08.29Georgebtw, anyone going to be at LWCE next month?
10:09.22mozratGeorge: very likely
10:09.26mozratinfamous George
10:09.31Georgelikely?
10:09.34Georgeyay
10:09.47mozratGeorge: I may be abroad but if not I'll be there with knobs on
10:10.03Georgeheh
10:10.16GeorgeI'm just sending an email to the KDE treasurer to get some shirts for aKademy
10:10.17Georgeer.
10:10.19GeorgeLWCE
10:13.17mozratI might even take a day off for it
10:13.26mozratrather than just pop down like I normally do
10:13.30wethrinLWCE sucks, though
10:13.38wethrinNothing interesting there any more
10:14.14mozratI met mad dog hall there last time - that was interesting
10:18.02wethrinother than that, though
10:18.50mozratUmm - I met George
10:18.56mozratthat was.... "interesting"
10:18.58wethrinThat's not a good thing :)
10:19.09wethrinHe comes to Gllug very occasionally. But not to the important that
10:20.41Georgemoo
10:21.02GeorgeI'm universally loved.
10:22.49wethrinin your own universe? :)
10:25.51mozratGah - I'm doing expenses and missing some receipts
11:17.41mozratStupid gnome
11:17.52mozratI can see a file on the desktop I deleted this morning
11:17.59mozratand ls ~/Desktop confirms its gone
11:18.08mozratbut the GUI hasn't picked that up
11:19.02wethrinOops
11:19.04wethrinIs it in the trash?
11:26.01mozratNope
11:26.12mozratI'm sure if I log off and back on it will go

18:28.03JAVhello!
18:37.43gregjanyone knows how can I convince find to print all names escaped, so for instance instead of "[ ]" I will get \"\[\ \]\"
18:40.12Copegregj: is that a for instance, or a real example?
18:41.03Copewhat you actually want to do is to escape all escapable characters? yes?
18:48.22*** join/#gllug eye69 (i=magnus@ipv6.upcore.net)
18:49.50gregjCope: for instance
18:50.01gregjCope: I have files with spaces in em and brackets
18:50.05gregjCope: they need to be escaped
18:50.35Copegregj: why - waht are you doing withthem?
18:53.02gregjI have to give names to command, but command doesn't take --recursive argument
18:53.05gregjso...
18:53.31gregjbash escapes automagicaly, but in this case it won,t cos * doesn't work recurseive
18:53.36gregjat least up to me knowledge
18:54.37Copewell
18:54.45Copethe simple answer is: find ... -exec command {} \;
18:55.48Copeor you could just change all the spaces, etc to underscores with a bash one liner
18:57.30Copecan you give me a specific example of the command you want to pass the filename to?
18:57.36gregjthis won't do either
18:57.38gregjbut I'll try
18:58.15Copegregj: what's the pipeline? ie what do you want to do to the filenames after find produces them?
18:59.43gregjanyway, -exec will do
18:59.45gregjbut takes ages
19:00.14Copeyou may also hit buffer limits
19:00.24gregjsure
19:00.35gregjit's a perl app, so running it on -exec is expensive runtime wise
19:00.45Copefor sure
19:00.46gregjjust as any interpreted lang, python would be even worse
19:02.42CopeI was reading about feeding filenames recursively into an array, and using bash's -s option to read, together with the NUL byte to allow for spaces and newlines etc;
19:02.51Copesorry -d option
19:03.02gregjyes, I remember somehing about it
19:03.07gregjbut don't remember how to do it
19:03.18Copeunset a i
19:03.41Copewhile read -d $'\0' filename; do
19:03.52Copesomething to filename
19:04.27Copedone <<(find /somewhere -type f -print0)
19:04.58gregj:]
19:05.08gregjyeah, -print0, it is gnu extension
19:05.20Copenot sure if that would be more efficient than -xec
19:05.29Copegregj: are you not using a gnu find
19:08.03gregjI am
19:08.19gregjbut sometimes I use other finds, and I am not so familliar with gnu exts ;)
19:08.35Copemmhmm
19:33.57gregjwhat is unset a i doing ?
19:37.13gregj|while read -d $'\0' filename; do gnupod_addsong -m /mnt/other/ done <<(find /home/gj/Music/ -type f -print0)
19:37.16gregj|-su: syntax error near unexpected token `('
19:41.06Copegregj: unneeded in this case
19:42.20Copegregj: the space between the < < is significant
19:43.38CopeI missed it out in my example
19:43.49Copeso:
19:44.02Copewhile read -d $'\0' filename; do gnupod_addsong -m /mnt/other/ done < <(find /home/gj/Music/ -type f -print0)
19:46.33gregjI get  > prompt (line has not being ended)
19:47.50gregjI know nothing about bash scripting..
19:50.00gregjwhile read -d $'\0' filename; do gnupod_addsong -m /mnt/other/ < <(find /home/gj/Music/ -type f -print0) ; done
19:50.03gregj<PROTECTED>
20:00.55Copearen't you missing the actuall filename?
20:01.33Copeyou've fed every filename into an array
20:01.52Copethen said for every entry in this array... do
20:02.01Copedo gnupod_addsong -m /mnt/other/
20:02.15Copebut not actually supplied the filename
20:02.54Copethat's a bit like saying for i in `1 seq 9`; do echo; done
