10:06.18ayazHello, Risjh
10:06.25Risjhhi ayaz
10:06.32Risjhsorry barlas, was away
10:06.51Risjhbarlas, i see that you aren't ayaz now :P
10:07.06ayazHaha
10:07.49ayazWhat was barlas trying to do, Risjh?
10:07.57Risjhayaz, ever tried RH based distros? centos or fedora?
10:08.08Risjhayaz, nothing, i thought he = ayaz :p
10:08.34ayazRisjh:   Yes, I have.  
10:08.35ayazHehe, OK
10:08.50Risjhayaz, ok, have you ever done virtualizing?
10:08.57ayazhttp://ayaz.wordpress.com/2007/02/21/fedora-core-6-a-few-quirks-you-need-to-watch-out-for/
10:09.04ayazhttp://ayaz.wordpress.com/2007/02/24/hats-off-to-fedora-core-6-all-the-pun-that-can-be-intended-intended/
10:09.13Risjhi am trying to install Centos on debian
10:09.15ayazI used to use CentOS at the previous work place.
10:09.16Risjhvserver
10:09.24ayazRisjh:   Yes, but I have only ever used VMware.
10:09.50Risjhthe command used to make the vserver requires a --dsitro option, and on the wiki it says fc6 even for Centos
10:10.01Risjhi know Centos and FC are similar
10:10.13ayazYeah, pretty much.
10:10.34Risjhbut, if i just use --distro fc6, then it will create a FC6 server with FC repo list..
10:10.35ayazWhat is vserver?  Virtual Server?  Hadn't heard of it.  
10:10.47Risjhhttp://linux-vserver.org
10:11.06Risjhsay, i wanna turn that into CentOS, what do i do? just change the repos?
10:12.34ayazNo idea, Risjh
10:12.38Risjhhmm
10:12.44Risjhok, np ill just try
10:14.25ayazFinally, I figured out how to connect to IRC from work.  :)
10:14.34Risjhthey block irc?
10:18.34ayazRisjh:   We're behind an ISA proxy server.
10:18.46Risjhircatwork.com
10:19.28ayazI had been trying real hard for a few days to get xchat to authenticate over the proxy, but it would fail with a "Proxy Auth Error" message.  Today, in fact, a few minutes ago, I just disabled the proxy auth option, and told xchat to connect to the IP of freenode, and voila
10:21.06Risjhhehe
10:22.42ayazYou want to see a cool movie, Risjh?
10:22.48ayazhttp://slackmagic.com/heretic/
10:23.03ayazDownload the MPEG.  It's 8-MB.  It shows a cool Slackware desktop using Compiz
10:23.25Risjhneat, Downloading
10:31.37Risjhayaz, the video isnt of very good quality
10:31.50ayazYeah, that's the only thing that sucks.
10:33.38Risjhnice
10:33.48Risjhyou use Compiz?
10:35.49ayazNope, not yet.
10:36.00ayazI might give it a try on the new Slackware-12 install I did this weekend.
10:36.12Risjhcool
10:36.24ayazI like to keep my desktop free from all effects.
10:36.43ayazProbably a consequence of running Linux on an 800MHz laptop for years.
10:36.44ayaz:P
10:37.05Risjhlol
10:37.12Risjhwhat are you on now?
10:38.02ayazI still have that laptop.  It is still running Slackware.  Only, I have a new laptop on which runs Vista for the moment.  I have a headless desktop PC which is running XP/Slackware.
10:38.13ayazI log into the old laptop via TightVNC.  
10:38.39Risjhah, k
10:40.01ayazWhat hardware do you use, Risjh?
10:40.20Risjhi have a 1.7Ghz Pentium M laptop
10:40.27Risjh512 MB ram
10:40.48Risjhfor the desktop i have a 500Mhz 128MB ram, old rusty stuff
10:41.06Risjhi am getting a new laptop from the university soon, they haven't told me which yet
10:41.30Risjhi expect it to be 120GB HDD, 1GB ram.. at least, not sure about the proc, I dont think they'll be giving us Core 2 duo..
10:41.41ayazHehe.  You never know.
10:42.19ayazI've got an AMD Sempron 3500+ with 1GB from work.
10:42.19ayazMy desktop is a dell 2.24GHz with 512MB.
10:46.32Risjhah, cool
10:50.04ayazWith frequent power outages, I don't feel like using the desktop.
10:50.10ayazOtherwise, I'd get a nice LCD for it.
10:50.49Risjhah
10:50.51RisjhUPS?
10:51.03ayazNone.  We've got a backup generator, though.
10:52.58Risjhah
10:53.31ayazEver used X-Chat?
10:54.35Risjhyes
10:54.38Risjhwhy?
10:54.47Risjhi like irssi more though
10:55.39ayazYes, I use irssi at home.
10:55.55Risjhcool
10:56.00ayazI am using XChat on Windows here, right now, and I am trying to figure out how to disable the EyeCandy theme, and get back the dark theme.
10:59.24Risjheye candy
10:59.25Risjh?
10:59.30Risjhi am on windows atm too
10:59.42ayazYeah, it is silvery-theme that comes with X-Chat
10:59.48RisjhYou guys registered Xchat? or just used some crack?
10:59.57ayazTrial.  :P
10:59.59ayazNo crack.
11:00.00Risjh:P
11:00.07Risjhyou can download the free version too
11:00.10Risjhsilverex.org
11:00.13ayazOh.
11:00.50ayazCrap.  Now, my FF crashed.  I download FF-2.0.0.6 today, and it has been crashing like hell ever since.  I downgraded back to 1.5
11:00.53ayazIt is crashing too.
11:01.17Risjhit works fine here
11:01.31Risjhbut FF is a memory hogger
11:01.37ayazHehe, yeah, it is.
11:02.13ayazI suppose I have one too many things open right now:  Visual Studio, Eclipse, etc etc
11:03.36Risjhoh
11:10.31Risjhyou have any experience with mod_proxy of apache?
11:11.12ayazI've played with it before, but I don't think I remember anything now.
11:11.25Risjhsay i have virtual servers setup in a system, and the users of the virtual space host stuff on 10.1.1.4:80 apache... can i set up the main server's apache to redirect whatever.net to 10.1.1.4:80 ?
11:12.06ayazCan't that be done using VirtualHost?
11:12.56Risjhit can be?
11:12.58Risjhi have no idea
11:13.34ayazIf you aren't running any other websites on that main server, then, you won't need VirtualHost.
11:14.05ayazYou could just setup Iptables on main to forward packets destined to main:80 to go to 10.1.1.4;80
11:14.56RisjhNo, there are other websites as well
11:15.11ayazOh, then you'll need VirtualHosts
11:15.13Risjhi need to set up for a particular host/domain only
11:15.15Risjhhow?
11:15.46ayazRead up on VirtualHosts on apache docs.  I'll help you out later from home.  Can't ssh anywhere right now.
11:16.09RisjhAh, ok sure, thanks a lot :)
11:17.38ayazNo problemo.
11:39.02ayazYou play sports, Risjh?
11:39.12Risjhyeah, basketball
11:39.20Risjhwell, havent played since a year nw
11:39.29Risjhi guess will be playing again, once i get to college :)
11:39.34ayazYea
11:39.35Risjhyou?
11:39.49ayazI used to play lots of sports.  I bet I can still play them.
11:39.58ayazI've not played in about a year now.
11:40.16ayazCricket, Soccer, basketball, badminton, table tennis, hockey, etc

11:42.26ayazI haven't watched cricket in a while now
11:42.44Risjhi do, when i can :)
11:44.03ayazI like to play.
11:44.10ayazI am a defensive batsman.
11:44.27ayazMy friends used to fear me.  I would stick to the wicket like a lice.
11:45.11ayazAfter getting pissed, they'd try the aggressive strategy to get me off:  They would start targetting my balls  :P
11:45.29ayazDamn.  Those were the good days.
11:45.40Risjhlol
11:45.48Risjhyeah indeed
11:50.44ayaz:)

17:38.02Risjhayaz, hi
17:38.21ayazHi, Risjh.
17:38.52Risjhi have apache almost working the way i want, "almost"
17:39.37ayazOh, that's cool.
17:41.27ayazWhat's the small part that's bitching?
17:43.41Risjhmod_proxy
17:43.57Risjhthe thing i wanted to execute wasn't possible via VirtualHost
17:44.07Risjhwe have to use mod_proxy or rewrite rules
17:44.19ayazI see.
17:44.30ayazWe usually use the rewrite rules within VirtualHost setting.
17:44.37Risjhi did it fine, but i just get 403 forbidden now
17:44.56ayazPut your config on dpaste.com
17:44.59Risjhyeah, but the rewrite rules would have to use mod_proxy as well
17:45.15Risjhhttp://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DifferentUserIDsUsingReverseProxy
17:45.20Risjhthis is what i have done..
17:45.26Risjhi still get access error
17:48.31ayazLet me see.
17:49.44Risjhsure
17:58.57Risjh?
18:02.16ayazI can't make sense out of it right now.  :(
18:05.03Risjhoh, it doesn't work in here too :(
18:05.15Risjhi cant seem to find out what's causing the trouble
18:06.36ayazI guess I am too tired to make sense out of it.
18:07.09Risjhsame here i think
18:07.13Risjhwats the time there
18:07.41ayazA little over 11 at night.
18:07.56ayazI got caught up in the worst of traffic jams on the way back from work.
18:07.59ayazLeft a bad headache.
18:08.09Risjhooh
18:09.36ayazIt must be 10 pm there, no?
18:09.55Risjhnope, 11:39
