[00:13:19] <CIA-5> axeld * r28111 /haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/bfs/ (BlockAllocator.cpp BlockAllocator.h Debug.cpp): (log message trimmed)
[00:13:19] <CIA-5> * Each allocation group now lazily maintains the largest free block separately,
[00:13:19] <CIA-5> so that allocations can be directly fulfilled from that block without having
[00:13:19] <CIA-5> to search for it.
[00:13:19] <CIA-5> * This should further improve the allocator's performance, but it could need
[00:13:22] <CIA-5> more tuning (ie. when to rebuild the free block).
[00:13:24] <CIA-5> * Added debugging code to check if the largest block is maintained correctly;

[00:24:12] <DeadYak> luroh: what did, that last commit?
[00:24:18] <luroh> yes
[00:24:31] <DeadYak> trying it here..
[00:24:39] <DeadYak> well, after a build
[00:25:46] <luroh> serial.txt says:
[00:25:50] <luroh> group 17 first free too late
[00:25:50] <luroh> PANIC: bfs 0x91379e80: group 17 largest differs: 16384.0, checked -1.0.
[00:27:21] <DeadYak> that would seem to be the debugging code mentioned in that commit
[00:28:18] <DeadYak> hmm
[00:29:57] <CIA-5> axeld * r28112 /haiku/trunk/src/tools/vmdkimage/vmdkimage.cpp:
[00:29:57] <CIA-5> * Changed how the string for the UUID hash is build.
[00:29:57] <CIA-5> * Accidently did not start at different positions in the string to build the
[00:29:57] <CIA-5> hash, but just added some value to the hash...
[00:32:19] * DeadYak enables BFS tracing for good measure
[00:33:17] <luroh> (28112 didn't help, btw)
[00:33:26] <DeadYak> yeah, it wouldn't have, it didn't touch any BFS code
[00:33:33] <luroh> right
[00:33:47] <DeadYak> still building here, got a whole day's worth of changes to update
[00:35:04] <anarchos> so you don't have to compile everything to get the latest changes? cool
[00:36:20] <DeadYak> huh?
[00:36:29] <luroh> anarchos: normally, you just have to rebuild the affected targets, not the whole lot
[00:36:36] <DeadYak> that's exactly what I'm doing, but it only has to rebuild stuff that's affected by the changed files
[00:37:05] <anarchos> yeah cool
[00:37:21] <DeadYak> that's pretty much how every larger scale build system in a software project works :)
[00:37:40] * anarchos is not a coded :P
[00:37:45] <anarchos> coder
[00:37:56] <luroh> (unless something's occasionally fubar'ed)
[00:38:10] <DeadYak> right, changes to the build sys itself can break that ability
[00:38:13] <DeadYak> nothing's perfect
[00:40:14] <DeadYak> though even if I did have to do a full rebuild every time, only takes about 20-30 minutes here
[00:40:35] <anarchos> that's not bad
[00:41:27] <DeadYak> now let's see what happens here...
[00:41:36] <DeadYak> luroh: just for reference, how big a partition / disk?
[00:41:46] <dr_evil> vmdkimage build a UUID hash? amazing
[00:42:00] <CIA-5> axeld * r28113 /haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/bfs/BlockAllocator.cpp:
[00:42:00] <CIA-5> * Fixed the wrong check for the largest block: it was always checked, no matter
[00:42:00] <CIA-5> if the largest block was marked invalid or not. Thanks for testing, luroh :-)
[00:42:00] <CIA-5> * Fixed warning.
[00:42:05] <luroh> vmware image, 800 MB
[00:42:13] <DeadYak> ah, there it is
[00:42:28] <DeadYak> how did he know about that?
[00:43:21] <luroh> he must have implanted something in my brain during BG
[00:43:21] <anarchos> axeld is magic

[03:45:58] <DeadYak> trying to figure out which
[03:46:18] <DeadYak> ah
[03:46:19] <DeadYak> 28116 was it.
[03:54:59] <DeadYak> aha, found the problem I think...
[03:55:37] <thotypous> fix fix fix :D
[03:55:45] <DeadYak> testing..
[03:55:54] <DeadYak> can only build and reboot so quickly

[03:58:47] <CIA-5> Fix regression introduced in r28116: Due to the change in variable names, the
[03:58:47] <CIA-5> wrong version of ConvertFromScreen() was now used, resulting in the calculation
[03:58:47] <CIA-5> being computed and thrown away. This broke BMenu, probably amongst other things.

[05:37:27] <anarchos> at the end, people are throwing stuff at the drugged out kid and everytime he got hit he would say 'ping!'
[05:37:28] <DeadYak> DHowett: make of what?
[05:37:37] <anarchos> then farva throws a fire extinguisher at him

[06:02:34] <umccullough> just too lazy to set it all up i guess
[06:02:58] <umccullough> Koki2, btw - i believe that APIC timer issues that caused the performance degradation for you may be fixed now

[06:04:13] *** AnEvilYak has quit IRC
[06:09:19] <Koki2> umccullough, you mean I should now be able to run 20 videos at the same time w/o dropped sound & video frames? :)
[06:10:07] <umccullough> lol, sure ;)
[06:13:10] <Koki2> well, don't have any BFS partitions anymore, so it will have to wait
[06:15:58] <Koki2> would be nice if I could try haiku on my dual core machine, but it would have to be on a partition at the higher end of my 500GB HDD, which Haiku does not support (or at least, it did not until recently)
[06:17:37] <DeadYak> Koki2: that was fixed this week
[06:19:13] *** Monni has left #Haiku
[06:20:12] <anarchos> what about ram, can you use 4gb? (or 3.5 or whatever it works out too)
[06:23:35] <Koki2> DeadYak, is LB48 now supported then?
[06:23:50] <Koki2> *LBA48
[06:24:45] <DeadYak> Koki2: it's now supported correctly, yes.
[06:24:53] <Koki2> oh, nice
[06:25:16] <DeadYak> anarchos: in theory sure, in practice it will wind up being eaten into by your graphics frame buffer and a few other things
[06:25:28] <DeadYak> also note that haiku's addres space is a 2GB split, so 2GB of that will be usable by apps, max
[06:25:54] <umccullough> you can use 4gb without haiku crashing now at least ;)
[06:26:08] <umccullough> before, the MTRRs were incorrectly detected
[06:26:20] <umccullough> but that was months ago that it was fixed

[09:57:46] <ddew|bofh> g'morning
[09:58:48] <ddew|bofh> gah, my macbook is pissing me off
[09:59:07] <ddew|bofh> great design but it's the most crippled machine i've ever used
[10:05:40] <CIA-5> mmlr * r28119 /haiku/trunk/src/system/libroot/os/driver_settings.c:
[10:05:40] <CIA-5> Initialize the parameters to NULL so that a later reload doesn't try to free
[10:05:40] <CIA-5> uninitialized memory. Fixes a crash on boot with a preloaded settings file
[10:05:40] <CIA-5> present that wasn't used before the boot device was available (like the vm
[10:05:40] <CIA-5> settings file).
[10:07:39] <CIA-5> mmlr * r28120 /haiku/trunk/src/system/libroot/os/driver_settings.c: Fix typo.
[10:09:31] <DHowett> ddew|bofh: See the new ones?
[10:10:44] <ddew|bofh> yeah
[10:11:10] <HeTo> is the old plastic screen matte or glossy btw?
[10:11:23] <ddew|bofh> glossy
[10:11:30] <ddew|bofh> and led backlighting
[10:11:33] <ddew|bofh> atleast mine is :)
[10:11:48] <ddew|bofh> but regardless, i'm starting to think it was a crappy buy
[10:12:15] <ddew|bofh> great battery time and sexy hardware doesn't make up for being crippled
[10:13:48] <HeTo> then I might consider getting the new one for the NVidia and the looks
[10:14:28] *** adb has quit IRC
[10:15:09] <HeTo> although I'll probably hate the glass but maybe I won't hate it that much more than a normaal glossy screen
[10:15:46] <ddew|bofh> glossy screen is ok but if you want to run anything but mac os x and dual boot with windows you're SOL
[10:16:05] <ddew|bofh> unless they've done some radical changes in the new revision
[10:19:23] *** adb has joined #haiku
[10:26:40] *** PulkoMandy has joined #haiku
[10:28:38] *** Hoern has joined #Haiku
[10:30:12] <anarchos> windows won't run on glossy screens? :P
[10:30:29] <ddew|bofh> eh?
[10:30:31] <Hoern> hi
[10:30:37] *** Ingenu has joined #Haiku
[10:31:27] <anarchos> "if you want to run anything but mac os x" makes it sound like only mac os will run on glossy screens
[10:31:38] <anarchos> :P
[10:31:58] <ddew|bofh> no it doesn't, unless you're too retarded to read the rest of the sentence :)
[10:33:39] <ddew|bofh> gah, this is really pissing me off. i just can't get rid of os x
[10:34:28] <anarchos> i still don't get it. :P
[10:35:24] <ddew|bofh> ok, i'll simplify. you can forget about easily running anything but mac os x and possibly dual boot with windows
[10:35:47] <ddew|bofh> gettting rid of mac os x entirely is unpossible and running any other oses on it is problematic
[10:37:03] <anarchos> oooh i see
[10:37:16] <anarchos> why get rid of os x? :P
[10:37:20] * anarchos hugs his macbook
[10:37:48] <ddew|bofh> because os x is annoying and troublesome
[10:38:04] <geist> oh?
[10:38:08] <geist> do tell ddew|bofh
[10:38:14] <geist> why can't you run anything else on it?
[10:39:06] <ddew|bofh> it's technically some of the time if you want to run linux and can accept not all your hardware working
[10:39:20] <ddew|bofh> still requires a version of os x installed
[10:39:24] <ddew|bofh> *technically possible
[10:39:24] <geist> oh?
[10:39:27] <geist> why so?
[10:39:39] <DHowett> Why? I mean. The EFI handles booting the operating system...
[10:39:50] * geist looks over at his macbook with ubuntu on it
[10:39:59] * geist wonders how it must not exist, and yet exists
[10:40:06] * DHowett looks over at his Aspire One with OS X on it.
[10:40:07] * ddew|bofh looks at his macbook with ubuntu on it too.
[10:40:12] <DHowett> Oh wait, that doesn't lend to the discussion.
[10:40:26] * geist looks over at his VAX
[10:40:36] <DHowett> Mmm, vaxen :P
[10:41:16] * geist wonders how i am able to not have OSX on this machine
[10:41:22] <geist> being that ddew|bofh says it is unpossible
[10:41:39] <ddew|bofh> to get it fully working
[10:41:49] <geist> ...
[10:41:54] <ddew|bofh> hence the use of the term unpossible as opposed to impossible
[10:42:18] <geist> okay, gonna cut off the fud here. you can put windows and/or ubuntu on a mac just fine
[10:42:29] <geist> you'll have the usual driver issues with any other laptop
[10:42:34] <geist> may or may not have the right drivers for wifi, etc
[10:42:41] <geist> but there's nothing special about macs
[10:42:46] <ddew|bofh> windows is no problem, unless you want to use the touchpad or something
[10:42:59] <geist> dude, cut the fud man
[10:43:03] <ddew|bofh> and linux works a lot of the time
[10:43:11] <geist> it works fine
[10:43:26] <geist> at least, it works as well as any other laptop. there's nothing special about it
[10:43:32] <ddew|bofh> oh it does? not according to various bugzillas
[10:43:50] <geist> works fine for me. most annoying thing is the single button actually
[10:43:56] <geist> but i mostly use an external mouse anyway
[10:44:01] <geist> and there's some sort of hack for that
[10:44:21] <geist> sleep works, mostly, wifi works, etc
[10:44:22] <ddew|bofh> it's running way hot for me
[10:44:37] <geist> perhaps, I mostly run it tethered
[10:44:47] <geist> i wouldn't be surprised if the linux power management isn't as good
[10:44:55] <geist> i knowthe apple guys tweaked the hell out of it
[10:45:06] <geist> and it's pretty tuned for that exact machine
[10:45:06] <ddew|bofh> and getting battery status working occasionally requires me to unplug it, pull the battery and reboot
[10:45:40] <geist> okay, but how do you extrapolate this to 'all macs dont work', and the implicit reverse of that which is 'everything that's non macs will work fine'
[10:45:55] *** leszek_fh has joined #haiku
[10:45:57] <geist> i postulate that pretty much any given random laptop is gonna have similar issues with linux
[10:46:08] <leszek_fh> hi
[10:46:13] <geist> some may have better supported hardware, some may not
[10:46:18] <ddew|bofh> i've never stated that all macs don't work
[10:46:32] <ddew|bofh> i said that other oses on macbooks is problematic
[10:46:44] <geist> and that it's unpossible to not have OSX on it
[10:46:56] <geist> it was pretty strong wording. even if you didn't state anything precisely, you implied all sorts of stuff
[10:47:18] <geist> and yes, you're gonna get me on a technicality
[10:47:24] <geist> i'm going on what i read into your statement
[10:47:37] <ddew|bofh> not my problem :)
[10:47:50] <ddew|bofh> people are free to read anything into what i say, it's their right
[10:47:52] <geist> it is the responsibility of the speaker to get their ideas across clearly
[10:48:12] <geist> or risk being misinterpreted, and thus have to deal with the fallout, which is very much their problem
[10:48:19] <ddew|bofh> if that's what their intention is
[10:48:39] <ddew|bofh> on occasion people enjoy venting their frustration
[10:48:47] <geist> LIES!
[10:48:53] <geist> IRC IS ALL ABOUT TRUF
[10:49:00] <CIA-5> axeld * r28121 /haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/bfs/BlockAllocator.cpp:
[10:49:00] <CIA-5> * Fixed another check, the warning "first free too late" was printed even
[10:49:00] <CIA-5> though there was no problem.
[10:49:00] <CIA-5> * Nevertheless, improved output of that warning :-)
[10:49:15] <ddew|bofh> heh
[10:49:28] <geist> (and while we argue on the internet, someone toils away making great things)
[10:49:29] <ddew|bofh> hopefully i'll get graphics working here soonish
[10:49:46] <geist> anyway, i actually went back to osx + vmware with linux on it
[10:49:58] <geist> linux worked well enough on the laptop, but not that much better than just vmware
[10:50:01] <geist> so this way i got both
[10:50:12] <geist> it's a work machine, we use ubuntu as the standard desktop
[10:50:29] * anarchos shudders at the thought of polluting his macbook with linux ;)
[10:50:49] * geist leaves most of his linux boxes headless, in a dark room
[10:50:55] <geist> like God intended for unix to be
[10:51:00] <ddew|bofh> my problem is that i don't use mac os x and would ideally want either a linux/other dualboot or strictly windows on it
[10:51:08] <ddew|bofh> hehe
[10:51:21] <anarchos> i gave linux a chance for about 10 years
[10:51:27] <geist> yeah, but if you dont use osx there's a whole lot less of a reason to get a mac
[10:51:35] <geist> unless you just really like the pretty case
[10:51:38] <ddew|bofh> i run linux on servers and occasionally to build haiku. that's it
[10:51:46] <anarchos> ok
[10:51:51] <anarchos> linux for server = good
[10:51:57] <anarchos> linux for desktop = not so good
[10:52:08] <geist> i have to say, ubuntu on a well supported box aint half bad
[10:52:16] <ddew|bofh> i really like the hardware, and it's a pretty good bang for the buck on the mbp
[10:52:29] <geist> once you install a good terminal (xfce4-term, or whatever it was) and some real fonts (mscorefonts, Monaco)
[10:52:32] <DHowett> ... you're serious.
[10:52:35] <ddew|bofh> backlit kbd, high-red screen with led backlighting and excellent battery time
[10:53:03] <geist> it runs firefox well enough, i can play music, and it lets me get work done with less of an incentive to go play games
[10:53:07] <DHowett> but the price point. comparable computers are dwarfed, nay, sucked up in DROVES into that price.
[10:53:34] <ddew|bofh> not really, there's more to hardware than just the parts
[10:53:42] <geist> ddew|bofh: yep, and the new case looks great. the shiny screen does not
[10:53:48] <anarchos> i found with linux, i spent hours and hours and hours getting it "just right"
[10:53:48] <ddew|bofh> there's also stuff like build quality, ease of maintenance etc to think of
[10:53:52] <anarchos> while i had fun doing it
[10:54:03] <anarchos> i realized how much time i was wasting doing nothing productive.
[10:54:06] <DHowett> ddew|bofh: Unless you got an air. No maintenance whatsoever, at least for you ;)
[10:54:10] <anarchos> so i bought a mac :P
[10:54:34] <ddew|bofh> DHowett: as long as i can upgrade ram and harddrive i'm good :)
[10:54:39] <geist> SNAKE PROOF
[10:54:42] <DHowett> ddew|bofh: :)
[10:55:08] <DHowett> HAHA
[10:55:11] <DHowett> geist: love it.
[10:55:12] <ddew|bofh> and hardware battery meters are nice to have :)
[10:55:25] <DHowett> ddew|bofh: dell got that one right years in advance.
[10:56:12] <ddew|bofh> i've played around with some xps laptops and to me they felt plastic
[10:56:41] <DHowett> geist: further love the description,. "And toss that little devil in there."
[10:56:45] <ddew|bofh> it's not like i went out and blindly bought a macbook because i like how they look :)
[10:56:50] <DHowett> ddew|bofh: the xps yes..
[10:56:55] <DHowett> ddew|bofh: of course, understandably
[10:57:11] <DHowett> a particular gem: If your baby gets to be longer than about 19", you'll have to lay him on his side and fold him up a little. It won't hurt'm. They're made to fold.
[10:57:13] <geist> snakes in a crib man
[10:58:01] <ddew|bofh> Notice there's even a coil spring at each corner so "what's-his-name" doesn't get beaten around too badly as you roll his cage out back.
[10:58:06] <ddew|bofh> nice little gem
[10:59:24] <geist> well, he kids about snakes, but when i used to live near houston we would occasionally find snakes in the house
[10:59:32] <geist> once in the entryway, must have come in through the door
[10:59:35] <geist> not a bad one
[10:59:46] <geist> and one particularly bad case where there was a copperhead wrapped around the toilet
[10:59:53] <geist> must have come up through the pipes
[11:00:00] <geist> and those guys are poisonous
[11:00:13] <ddew|bofh> gnarly
[11:00:32] <ddew|bofh> things like that makes me glad i live in an apartment downtown
[11:02:40] <anarchos> i have a friend who's into snakes. it's kinda weird. i came home after being away for a couple years and he's covered in tattoos and has like 5 illegal snakes
[11:02:53] <geist> snakes are pretty cool
[11:03:07] <geist> i grew up where they were everywhere. you could go out and find out in 5 minutes if you wanted to
[11:03:14] <anarchos> he is currently being evicted from his apartment because of the snakes

[12:33:21] <geist> to think she'd be that close to the presidency...
[12:33:29] <ddew|bofh> i feel sorry for you americans, if mccain wins she's probably gonna be the president within a few years
[12:33:49] <geist> yeah, especially that, since there's a very nonzero chance she'd be prez
[12:34:00] <ddew|bofh> the guy's 72, the stress of being in charge of the worlds mightiest country will kill him
[12:34:00] <geist> she's scarier than bush, though they're from the same mold
[12:34:28] <ddew|bofh> the thing that frightens me the most is having someone who believes that rapture is imminent in charge of the nuclear football
[12:34:35] <geist> the sad thing is mccain isn't a bad guy, it's just as soon as you get into the election machine you gotta tow the line
[12:34:38] <anarchos> but he's a POW. what doesn't kill him makes him stronger!
[12:35:06] <ddew|bofh> just look at bush, when he became president 8 years ago he looked young, now he looks 80 :)
[12:35:11] <geist> i have a lot of respect for the guy, and not just the POW stuff. he just has lost a lot of control as soon as you enter the machine
[12:35:19] <anarchos> hah. mccain not a bad guy? more like 'slightly-less-evil-then-the-rest-of-the-evil-motherfuckers'
[12:35:42] <geist> oh man i wish he had beaten bush a few years back
[12:35:48] <geist> he at least isn't a total nutjob
[12:35:56] <ddew|bofh> yeah, i'm sure he's very well qualified and he even regained some of my respect when he urged the people at his rallies to stop bashing obama.
[12:36:12] <geist> yeah.
[12:36:14] <anarchos> bah
[12:36:15] <ddew|bofh> but i seriously doubt his judgement in choosing palin as a vp
[12:36:18] <geist> hell no if i'll vote for him
[12:36:27] <geist> and yeah, the palin thing is totally lame
[12:36:30] <anarchos> that thing was a ploy
[12:36:37] <geist> clearly just to get elected, not a real choice
[12:36:39] <anarchos> that woman who called obama was a plant
[12:36:42] <ddew|bofh> anarchos: stating the fucking obvious :P
[12:36:45] <geist> whereas biden, he's a good guy
[12:36:50] <anarchos> called obama an arab :P
[12:36:54] <geist> probably not even the best choice for vp for getting elected
[12:37:12] <anarchos> biden sucks too
[12:37:20] * anarchos is a bitter canadian
[12:37:22] <geist> he's a smart guy that listens to experts
[12:37:23] <ddew|bofh> she's proven to be utterly unqualified for any serious political work
[12:37:33] <geist> that's the key, we need smart people that surround themselves with other smart people
[12:37:38] <ddew|bofh> indeed
[12:37:39] <geist> not just go off and do their own thing (bush, palin)
[12:37:45] <anarchos> everyone, mccain, palin, obama, biden, they're all the fucking same
[12:37:48] <ddew|bofh> where i think obama's made a better choice of vp
[12:38:03] <anarchos> i thought obama had a chance to be different, but not after his vote for the telecom immunity
[12:38:06] <ddew|bofh> biden is insanely qualified imo
[12:38:07] <geist> anarchos: mostly, except for bush and palin, they're off the scale
[12:38:09] <anarchos> just shows he's the fuckin' same as the rest
[12:38:30] <geist> that's the really weird thing about this election, almost everyone is senators
[12:38:39] <geist> which almost never happens, becuas eyou have an endless supply of dirt
[12:38:44] <anarchos> yeah but when it comes down to it, the real issue, that being that major corporations control this world, nothing changes
[12:38:45] <geist> governers are pretty safe
[12:39:37] <geist> senators you can always go dig up a bill they had to vote for or against for reasons that are not obvious (had too much pork, wanted more pork, etc)
[12:39:51] <geist> it's not cut n' dry
[12:40:18] <geist> OTOH at least they're senators and not representatives
[12:40:42] <geist> senators are supposed to be a little more autonomous and not just follow their constituents (sp?)
[12:40:54] <ddew|bofh> as i'm not an american i haven't looked to deeply into the underpinnings of the lections. i have a basic grasp of how it works and who the candidates are. and from what i've seen so far obama appears to be more grounded in reality
[12:41:09] <ddew|bofh> *too
[12:41:16] <geist> yeah, my big fear is once he gets elected he'll end up being another Carter
[12:41:24] <geist> on the other hand at this point that may be what we need
[12:41:27] <geist> I dunno
[12:41:41] <anarchos> you guys need to stop electing fucked up people :P
[12:41:45] <anarchos> including obama
[12:41:50] <ddew|bofh> judging by how mccain's handled himself lately i'm not sure of his capabilities
[12:41:53] <geist> oh come on, your country is just as fucked
[12:42:01] <geist> i hear about it all the time from canadians at work
[12:42:05] <anarchos> i don't debate that
[12:42:10] <ddew|bofh> america has potential to become the greatest country on earth again
[12:42:21] <ddew|bofh> once you get rid of the religious wackos in office
[12:42:46] <geist> thankfully at least this election isn't setting itself up as a 'values' election
[12:42:58] <geist> mccain isn't that guy, obama isn't that guy
[12:43:08] <geist> at least neither of them are nutjobs
[12:43:14] <anarchos> what we (US/CAN/World) need to do (and im serious) is ban all existing political parties. and then ban any person who's ever been a member of any political party from every participating in politics again
[12:43:21] <geist> that values bullshit was insane
[12:43:22] <anarchos> then, there might be a fighting chance
[12:43:23] <ddew|bofh> it's pretty ironic that a country funded by pantheists on atheistic values is so obsessed with religion
[12:43:50] <geist> anarchos: living up to your namesake i see
[12:44:43] <anarchos> nothing will ever change
[12:44:53] <ddew|bofh> anarchos: so you want people with zero experience of politics running world affairs? it's like asking a surgical procedure to be made by a car mechanic
[12:45:05] <ddew|bofh> worst. idea. ever.
[12:45:54] *** aljen has quit IRC
[12:46:25] <anarchos> US goes republican, democrate, republican, back and forth, and what really ever happens? NOTHING. you have healthcare? have you quit invading/fucking with other countries? etc etc
[12:46:33] *** PulkoMandy has joined #haiku
[12:46:52] <anarchos> sure there are some issues-of-the-day that get addressed, but when it comes down to it, they're all the same party
[12:47:23] <anarchos> same with canada. conservative, liberal...what the difference? absolutly nothing of value
[12:47:25] <ddew|bofh> well do you know of another way that's proven to work?
[12:48:00] <geist> hmm, wish i could put more ram in this laptop
[12:48:11] <geist> only 2GB, starts to hurt a bit on OSX with a couple of login sessions
[12:48:14] <anarchos> stalin's purges? ;p
[12:48:24] <ddew|bofh> maybe stalinism or even a theocracy?
[12:48:35] <geist> one thign OSX aint is memory efficient
[12:48:58] <anarchos> ddew|bofh: first step would be breaking up nations into much smaller pieces
[12:49:21] <geist> anarchos: oh come on, dont be so naieve
[12:49:23] <anarchos> ie states and provinces are their own deals. maybe some loose affiliations to help with trade
[12:49:27] <geist> a lot of shit happens.
[12:49:47] <geist> it can always be a *lot* worse
[12:49:59] <anarchos> but it could be a lot better
[12:50:02] <geist> could be living in the Congo or something
[12:50:20] <geist> someone said the best thing about the US is it's totally predictable
[12:50:21]
[12:50:25] <anarchos> yup. and if i lived in the congo i'd strive to make it better, too
[12:50:29] <geist> and with that comes stability
[12:50:39] <geist> anarchos: yeah but you probably died as an infant. game over
[12:51:19] <ddew|bofh> fuck progress and improvements, we should go back to how we lived 15000 years ago
[12:51:21] <geist> dont be so naive
[12:51:22] <anarchos> so you're one of those "love it or leave it" people, huh?
[12:51:41] <anarchos> there is never, ever anything wrong with striving to make society a better place.
[12:51:45] <geist> i'm a realist, humans are involved, so you have to deal with them
[12:51:59] <geist> anarchos: of course. but how you go about it varies
[12:52:08] <geist> tearing it all down is not necessarilly the best strategy
[12:52:13] <ddew|bofh> striving making a society better is awesome, but do your homework first
[12:52:33] <anarchos> geist: if you dont 'tear it all down', nothing will change.
[12:52:39] <geist> wrong.
[12:53:57] <ddew|bofh> tearing it all down would mean that we'd have to start from scratch, losing roughly 2000 years of experience in the process
[12:54:09] <ddew|bofh> that's just stupid
[12:54:30] <anarchos> i'm not saying we go back to living in caves and having no accumulated human knowledge
[12:55:33] <ddew|bofh> but what you're proposing is essentially getting rid of democracy and starting over
[12:55:49] <anarchos> no
[12:55:54] <anarchos> starting over...yes
[12:56:09] <anarchos> democracy is vital
[12:56:32] <ddew|bofh> democracy hinges on people actually knowing what the system is, how it works and how to deal with issues that pop up
[12:57:01] <anarchos> hah, i bet you 95% of canadians have no idea how their government works
[12:57:30] <anarchos> ask anyone anything besides a very very basic question and they will all be stumped
[12:57:32] <ddew|bofh> which is why they're not running it
[12:58:58] <ddew|bofh> the reasoning that most people don't know politics well enough to run a country is the reasoning behind representative democracy
[13:00:28] <anarchos> exactly
[13:03:04] <anarchos> but my vision for canada is a hybrid parliamentary/republic system (porportional representation, no first-past-the-post) combined with much smaller governing areas, so people actually have a chance at knowing what's going on
[13:03:46] <ddew|bofh> you're assuming that most people would want to know everything that's going on
[13:04:17] <anarchos> right
[13:04:24] <anarchos> but, here's where it gets awesome
[13:04:31] <ddew|bofh> and proportinal representation isn't all it's cracked up to be, neither are smaller governing areas
[13:05:07] <anarchos> so say i have my MP, and i think he does a good job (i voted for him, afterall), so everything works pretty much as it does now
[13:05:49] <anarchos> but where my plan deviates is, that every citizen would be able to vote online, on an issue-by-issue basis
[13:05:59] <ddew|bofh> proportional representation makes for difficult decision-making as well, there's been some unholy alliances here
[13:06:08] <ddew|bofh> direct democracy?
[13:06:13] <ddew|bofh> are you nuts?
[13:06:17] <anarchos> hybrid direct
[13:06:55] *** Yaroze has joined #haiku
[13:06:57] <anarchos> what im trying to say is basically every person in the country gets one vote for everything in the house. but say i dont want to vote (like 90% wont)
[13:07:11] <anarchos> then my MP casts my vote for me
[13:07:13] <ddew|bofh> a system where a tv commercial can have more impact on the politics rather than actual investigation of issues?
[13:07:17] <ddew|bofh> sheesh
[13:07:30] <ddew|bofh> it'd be a lobbying hell
[13:07:34] <anarchos> there would need to be some checks and balances
[13:07:43] <ddew|bofh> "vote nay os issue 152 and get a free ham"
[13:07:50] <ddew|bofh> *nay on issue
[13:08:02] <anarchos> i've been thinking the same thing
[13:08:26] <ddew|bofh> and not to mention peer pressure
[13:09:24] *** cherrylap has quit IRC
[13:10:18] <anarchos> ....maybe we create 300 'ghost' seats in parliament. where we have a regular parliament with 304 seats. then we have 304 ghost seats. the ghosts seats would be controlled by direct voting
[13:10:33] <anarchos> or maybe not a 300/300 split. but people should have the balance of power
[13:10:40] <ddew|bofh> sort of like how we vote on important questions here then
[13:11:05] <anarchos> huh?
[13:11:21] <ddew|bofh> yeah, we already do something similar called public votes
[13:11:50] <ddew|bofh> on things like joining the eu, joining the emu or nuclear power
[13:12:04] <anarchos> yea, kinda
[13:12:09] <anarchos> but much more accessable
[13:12:13] <anarchos> being online
[13:12:38] <ddew|bofh> are you nuts?
[13:12:54] <ddew|bofh> online voting, do you have any idea how insecure that is?
[13:13:07] <anarchos> we'd figure out a way
[13:13:53] *** mmu_man has joined #haiku
[13:13:53] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o mmu_man
[13:14:08] <ddew|bofh> ok, let's say you figure that out. now you just need to solve the two remaining roadblocks of lobbying and education
[13:14:20] <anarchos> right
[13:14:39] <anarchos> for the lobbying...im thinking the hybrid parliament/direct democracy
[13:14:48] <ddew|bofh> or would you like people voting on something they know nothing about because they get free stuff or see a cool commercial?
[13:14:58] <anarchos> but there is a huge risk of what you said before, people voting for dumb shit that'll help them out
[13:15:05] <ddew|bofh> well duh
[13:15:25] <anarchos> that is why, we do a system such as the hybrid direct vote/parliament
[13:15:28] <ddew|bofh> that's why we have representative democracy, so that educated people make decisions
[13:15:39] <anarchos> where maybe the direct vote portion would be 'less' powerful than the parliament
[13:15:50] <anarchos> so maybe it needs 75% support, or something
[13:16:14] <ddew|bofh> so in a sense you'd want to give people the illusion that their opinion matters while it really doesn't?
[13:16:44] <anarchos> but im thinking of situations like the iraq war (in canada). we had a PM that thank god didn't get us into that mess, but our current PM was all for it before he was PM
[13:16:48] <ddew|bofh> color me conservative but i don't like the idea of deception on such a massive scale
[13:16:52] <anarchos> and there was huge popular support against it
[13:17:26] <anarchos> but if our current PM was PM then we'd be in iraq, so my system would allow people to be the other check in the checks and balance system
[13:18:12] <anarchos> ddew|bofh: i dont think it's deception. would be if the parliament wasn't elected. the MPs would still be accountable to their constituancy
[13:18:15] <ddew|bofh> and how do you think people would vote if the commercials were saying that canadia was under the threat of fundamental terrorists?
[13:19:04] *** pyCube_ has joined #haiku
[13:19:04] *** pyCube has quit IRC
[13:19:04] <ddew|bofh> or even if influental countries like the us joined the war and slammed canada for not helping out?
[13:19:06] <anarchos> polls (make what you will) put canada at 85% against the iraq invasion
[13:19:16] <anarchos> ddew|bofh: exactly what happened.
[13:19:44] <anarchos> ddew|bofh: but we had a PM with some balls (and i think the hundreds of thousands in the streets saying 'don't even think about getting involved' helped)
[13:19:55] *** cherrylap has joined #haiku
[13:20:03] <ddew|bofh> well that was without the people having any influence on the war, how do you think the people would have reacted had there been massive campaigns going on?
[13:20:05] <anarchos> but, this is the exact situation im thinking of
[13:20:30] <ddew|bofh> politicans are corruptable, people even more so
[13:20:56] <anarchos> that's why im sayin' that this direct democracy portion wouldnt be the be all and end all
[13:21:08] <anarchos> like people couldnt pass a bill saying "give everyone $1m!!"
[13:21:59] <ddew|bofh> why not? if that's what the people want then it should be possible
[13:22:29] <anarchos> sure. elect a party that'll give everyone $1m then :P
[13:22:46] <anarchos> but what i am thinking is that the people should hold the balance of power
[13:23:11] <ddew|bofh> problem with people holding the balance of power is that people are stupid and short sighted
[13:23:19] <anarchos> right
[13:23:33] <ddew|bofh> meaning that they could essentially block a proposition for the good of the country
[13:23:41] *** rdmr has joined #haiku
[13:23:47] <anarchos> yup
[13:23:55] <anarchos> but who's to say that?
[13:23:59] <ddew|bofh> and that's of no worry to you?
[13:24:03] <anarchos> everyone though NAFTA was the bees knees
[13:24:09] <anarchos> and look how that turned out
[13:25:04] <anarchos> anyways im gonna go for a smoke
[13:25:41] <ddew|bofh> heh, public support of NAFTA was 70%
[13:27:08] <ddew|bofh> even after being in effect for 10 years
[13:35:57] <anarchos> support is a loaded word. if you look at 'support' it's very high, but if you look at the numbers who want to reform it, it's huge
[13:36:11] <anarchos> i think nafta vs. no free trade at all, people are in support
[13:38:09] *** rdmr has quit IRC
[13:38:40] <ddew|bofh> i'm not sure what you're proposing here, you mean that if people had more influence an agreement between three countries would somehow be revised?
[13:39:36] <anarchos> yes
[13:39:54] <ddew|bofh> how?
[13:40:31] <ddew|bofh> canada isn't a majority of the countries in the nafta agreement
[13:41:02] <anarchos> canada (or the US/Mexico) can unilaterally withdraw
[13:41:09] <anarchos> if they wanted
[13:41:34] <ddew|bofh> and what impact would pulling out of it have on the canadian economy?

[15:14:44] <helf> so they got him for 10 over and a school zone
[15:14:54] <helf> no big deal, really. just a few points on his license, if any and a small fine.
[15:15:11] *** thebolt|away is now known as thebolt
[15:15:12] <helf> his COMPANY has its own point system. 10mph over is 6 points. school zone is ANOTHER 6 points
[15:15:14] <ddew|bofh> not to be an ass but that's what speeding tickets are for. school zones are the single most important places to keep an eye out
[15:15:21] <helf> this is even though it was in his personal vehicle
[15:15:30] <ddew|bofh> that's a little harsh
[15:15:32] <helf> you can get a max of 13 points with his company before they yank you from a truck
[15:15:49] <helf> he still has 6 points on his company point systems from a wreck he had awhile back
[15:15:53] <ddew|bofh> max 13 points even on your personal record and not during work hours?
[15:15:57] <helf> thats 18 points if he cant get the tic,ket thrown out or reduced

[15:55:02] <Teknomancer> i know
[15:55:18] <ddew|bofh> that's because of religion, sundays being the christian sabbath
[15:55:38] <Teknomancer> i don't tihnk it's because of that...
[15:55:43] <ddew|bofh> well it is
[15:55:50] <Teknomancer> i dunno, anyway - it's NULL.

[15:56:45] <Teknomancer> whats lutheran?
[15:56:56] <ddew|bofh> it's a branch of protestantism

[15:57:14] <Teknomancer> the only thing i know about protestantism is that its not catholic

[16:01:24] <Stefan100> very little compared to some countries ;0)

[17:00:51] <CIA-5> in Haiku), but the binaries have appearantly changed slightly, probably of

[17:48:03] *** sprma_ has quit IRC
[17:48:25] <NeonLicht> has anybody tried to make a multiboot pendrive? I'd like to be able to boot from a pen drive and select which image (file contained whithin the pendrive) to boot from
[17:48:45] <ddew|bofh> ought to be doable
[17:49:06] <DeadYak> in theory all you'd need is a normal partition table on the pen drive
[17:49:34] <ddew|bofh> and installing bootman on it
[17:49:57] <DeadYak> that too
[17:50:36] <HeTo> bootman won't do it if the OSes are as image files on the pen drive
[17:50:42] *** Monni has joined #Haiku
[17:50:54] <HeTo> unless Haiku bootman is a big evolution over the BeOS one
[17:51:32] <DeadYak> HeTo: ah, I assumed he meant images dd'd to different partitions on the drive
[17:51:37] <ddew|bofh> ah, missed the bit about booting image files
[17:51:40] *** sprma_ has joined #haiku
[17:51:48] * ddew|bofh blames his lack of sleep
[17:51:53] <DeadYak> mm....
[17:52:07] <NeonLicht> it could be that way also, DeadYak, but is it opssible to dd to a partition instead of a full device?
[17:52:08] <DeadYak> I think mmu_man made haiku's zbeos fmap capable at some point, but I'm not sure how complete that is
[17:52:18] <DeadYak> NeonLicht: if the stick has a partition table it should be
[17:52:35] <NeonLicht> it could be either way (dd images or images copied into a partition on the pendrive) acrually
[17:52:39] <mmu_man> DeadYak it can find images in the partitions known to it
[17:52:51] *** paul0 has quit IRC
[17:52:51] <mmu_man> (that is, BFS and AmigaFFS for now)
[17:52:55] <HeTo> does Haiku still need makebootable to be run when the partition offset changes?
[17:52:56] <ddew|bofh> can't grub also boot from images?
[17:52:57] <DeadYak> mmu_man: is that assuming they're named image.be?
[17:53:01] <mmu_man> I'm actually writing the FAT code
[17:53:11] <mmu_man> DeadYak yes, but we can change that eventylaly
[17:53:38] <NeonLicht> ddew|bofh: it doesn't seem to be able to... I've been reading about it for a couple of hours... there are dozens of questions (w/o answers everywhere :-)
[17:53:51] <DeadYak> mmu_man: neat, thanks :)
[17:54:13] <ddew|bofh> NeonLicht: i'll take your word for it :)
[17:55:03] <NeonLicht> ddew|bofh: my word(s) is(are): "it doesn't seem to be able to" :-)))
[17:55:32] <NeonLicht> or, at least, I haven't been able to find the way or somebody who says it can, you know, haha
[17:55:45] <ddew|bofh> was just thinking since it's pretty advanced as far as filesystem support and chainloading goes it'd be a pretty natural next step
[17:56:04] <NeonLicht> that's what I though, too
[17:56:57] <ddew|bofh> i was also thinking of wubi
[17:57:01]
[17:57:28] <ddew|bofh> wubi boots from an image, correct?
[17:57:36] <ddew|bofh> kinda like how beos4win worked
[17:57:44] <HeTo> if you load something like memdisk with grub, that can emulate a BIOS hard drive
[17:57:48] <ddew|bofh> well, beospe
[17:58:08] <HeTo> but that only works as long as the OS uses BIOS for disk access
[17:58:45] <ddew|bofh> ah, so it takes an image-file and pretends it's a bios drive?
[17:58:58] <NeonLicht> mmmhhhhh... I'm just thinking that Ubuntu CD-Live has a 'memtest' boot option which might be booting a floppy disk image... go to check that out...
[17:59:11] <NeonLicht> title Ubuntu 8.04.1, memtest86+
[17:59:16] <NeonLicht> kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
[17:59:21] <NeonLicht> that's interesting
[17:59:43] <HeTo> NeonLicht: no, memtest86+ is a multiboot-compatible (ELF?) image
[17:59:43] <NeonLicht> :/boot# file memtest86+.bin
[17:59:43] <NeonLicht> memtest86+.bin: Linux x86 kernel
[17:59:43] <ddew|bofh> well it doesn't have to be anything but a large binary
[17:59:50] <ddew|bofh> memtest is a fairly small ap
[17:59:54] <NeonLicht> I've just seen that, HeTo, haha

[18:00:22] <NeonLicht> let see how "The Ultimate Boot CD" does it :)
[18:00:32] *** sprma has quit IRC
[18:00:48] *** boh666 has quit IRC
[18:01:10] <ddew|bofh> this might be worth looking into
[18:01:40] <NeonLicht> No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator
[18:01:55] <HeTo> but that guide uses memdisk (which is a Linux-kernel-like binary separate from GRUB, I think it originates from syslinux), and that takes the image as an initrd (which is also loaded to memory by GRUB)
[18:03:18] <ddew|bofh> NeonLicht: odd, it's the link i used straight from google
[18:03:32] <ddew|bofh> it's about loading loop images from a harddrive any way
[18:03:41] <NeonLicht> from Grub??
[18:03:43] <HeTo> works for me
[18:04:00] <HeTo> NeonLicht: are you sure you copied the part after the ? character?
[18:04:04] *** aldeck has joined #haiku
[18:04:08] <NeonLicht> sure, HeTo
[18:04:16] <aldeck> evening :)
[18:04:20] <DeadYak> hi aldeck :)
[18:04:38] <aldeck> hey thanks for your fix Rene :)
[18:04:39] <ddew|bofh> it'd be nice if you could chainload a file
[18:04:44] <DeadYak> aldeck: np :)
[18:04:50] <DeadYak> how are things going over there?
[18:05:00] <ddew|bofh> like root (hd0,1)/haiku.image and then chainloader +1
[18:05:10] <NeonLicht> dd'ing diferent images to diferent partitions would be enough for me, also, but I don't see how to do so
[18:05:11] <aldeck> DeadYak: pretty well!
[18:05:23] <NeonLicht> yess, ddew|bofh, that'd be really excellent
[18:05:48] <HeTo> ddew|bofh: you can chainload a file with GRUB
[18:05:49] <DeadYak> ddew|bofh: that would be difficult though since you can't directly chainload an image, as it lacks a boot sector
[18:05:50] <aldeck> DeadYak: working on my old tracker bug list
[18:06:15] <ddew|bofh> NeonLicht: you don't even have to use dd. you can create 4 partitions on the drive with fdisk, run drivesetup to imake filesystems, copy the files over, install bootman and then run makebootable on the drives
[18:06:20] <NeonLicht> DeadYak: but an image has to have a way of being booted, since I can boot from a dd'd image to a pendrive
[18:06:33] <ddew|bofh> DeadYak: sure, but it'd be nice _if_ :)
[18:06:41] <HeTo> but the problem is the boot sector in the file, if any, isn't probably made to recognise the situation that the disk is just a file somewhere
[18:06:43] <DeadYak> NeonLicht: you have to run makebootable on the drive too, no?
[18:07:17] <NeonLicht> ddew|bofh: I've tryed the "makebootable" thing dozens (really) of times and I haven't been able to get it to work for me (on hard drives)... I would prefer to avoid that on a more complicated media, as a pendrive :-)
[18:07:53] <NeonLicht> DeadYak: no, I don't... I justt dd if=haiku.image of=/dev/sdX and I am ready to boot from /dev/sda
[18:10:43]
<NeonLicht> http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27244 ---> By now I am running two Puppy flavors from pendrive, with multi-boot option (standard Puppy 3.01, pcPuppyOS rc6, or WinXP from hard disk), and I find that I'm now using WinXP for barely 10% of the time.

[20:31:48] *** hdanak has quit IRC
[20:33:30] <andguent> why is the build process calling the ar tool of my host system? (in another words: why isn't it calling the ../buildtools/ stuff?)
[20:34:54] <tqh> on what platform are you compiling?
[20:34:59] <andguent> os x
[20:35:27] <tqh> ah and you did all the buildtools steps and so on..
[20:35:42] <andguent> i don't actually know why...but even on a fresh system with newly installed developer tools from apple my ar tool is totally screwed up
[20:35:50] <andguent> yes i did that
[20:36:09] <andguent> i read on the mailing list on guy succeeded building the legacy gcc on osx
[20:36:17] <andguent> i followed his instructions and it worked out well
[20:36:31] <tqh> hmm, no clue then but probably a problem with OS X
[20:36:54] <andguent> so the build system is normally not supposed to call the host ar?
[20:37:13] <DeadYak> don't think so...*checks*
[20:37:43] <tqh> it does build those tools for the host platform though.
[20:38:04] <DeadYak> yeah, ar and such are part of the cross compiler toolchain
[20:38:44] <DeadYak> andguent: if you look at generated/build/BuildConfig, what's your value for HAIKU_AR?
[20:38:58] <tqh> but for the host ones xres and rc would use the host compiler, and if your ar is messed up...
[20:39:02] *** MegafEee has quit IRC
[20:39:29] <andguent> yeah it's still complaining about the xres and rc thing
[20:39:51] <DeadYak> yeah, for the host tools that are used as part of the build process, it will use the host ar and friends, good point
[20:39:55] *** oco has joined #haiku
[20:39:57] <andguent> my usual workaround is replacing the ar call with libtool...which works generally well...although i understand this is a horrible hack
[20:40:08] *** paul0 has joined #haiku

[20:53:08] *** korli_ has quit IRC
[20:57:10] <andguent> tqh: the ar implementation on osx seems to be totally broken. in fact it is not binutils but an inhouse implementation from apple
[20:58:38] <tqh> so the host handling of ar might need some love to work on OS X.
[20:59:02] <andguent> probably
[20:59:34] <DeadYak> wonder why they'd roll their own ar....something to do with mach-O maybe?
[20:59:51] <andguent> the only reason why others got it compiling under osx seems to me that they either had their own homebrewn gnu toolchain or (which is far more likely) put fink/darwinports paths in first place of their $PATH

[21:05:02] *** serj has joined #haiku
[21:05:11] <serj> hi guys
[21:05:17] <serj> i need some jam guru
[21:05:32] <serj> i want to copy a directory contents to the img
[21:05:46] <serj> so i use CopyDirectoryToHaikuImage
[21:06:11] <AlienSoldier> the trick is to not use copper ion for jam, it's toxic, you need to use calcium and acid, egg shell with lemon juice work fine
[21:06:15] <serj> but i do not know how to specify that i want to copy onlt .so files
[21:06:51] <serj> niiiiiiiiiiice
[21:07:12] <AlienSoldier> haaa, that jam :) i'm clueless about that one :P
[21:07:19] <tqh> not sure you can filter what it copies from directory.
[21:07:40] <serj> than why can i specify what to exclude !!
[21:07:44] <DeadYak> offhand I don't either, you could zip just the .so's and have it unzip them to the image as an alternative though
[21:08:31] <serj> ok CopyDirectoryToHaikuImage is just a function written in that jam scripty thing <(sorry don't know it's name)
[21:09:01] <serj> can someone tell me how can i modify it so that it does what i want
[21:09:24] <serj> i dont want to have manual steps
[21:10:49] *** Teknomancer has left #haiku
[21:10:53] <serj> any hint what's the timezone for the majority of this channels users
[21:11:05] <DeadYak> everywhere
[21:11:11] <DeadYak> not that many people are good with jam though
[21:12:00] <Monni> I would use AddFilesToHaikuImage instead... that way you can specify what files to copy...
[21:12:04] <serj> do you know some chan where i can ask jam questions #jam does not exist
[21:12:29] <DeadYak> maybe the boost channel, iirc they use it too
[21:12:31] <DeadYak> I might be wrong on that though
[21:13:04] <serj> oh you're right
[21:13:17] <DeadYak> AddDirectoryToHaikuImage is a haiku rule though, so I'm not sure they'd be able to help you so much with that
[21:13:30] <DeadYak> see build/jam/MiscRules for its definition

[21:19:27] *** Lelldorin1 has quit IRC
[21:20:09] <andguent> now a clean binutils version of ar lies in the path and still it fails at this point...man i am going nuts on that one o_O
[21:22:03] <serj> so what's the point of failure?
[21:22:19] <andguent> it complaints about an "unsupported operation"
[21:22:27] <andguent> operation being just: rc
[21:22:31] <JonathanThompson> It gives you something to look forward to in case of future success ;)
[21:22:57] <andguent> but it's fucking ar...it's like failing at 1+1
[21:23:37] <serj> try stracing gives a clue every time
[21:25:21] <andguent> i have to stick to ktrace ;)
[21:26:01] <andguent> but i am currently becoming so frustrated that i rather fire up vmware with a linux image and just built it their
[21:27:20] <serj> ah
[21:27:29] <serj> die hard to the core
[21:27:52] <serj> how bout gdb
[21:28:13] <serj> but then i guess vmware will be easier
[21:29:26] <andguent> the strange thing is now when i type "ar" in the shell the binutil version will be called
[21:29:50] <andguent> so the path is set up in the right way from that perspective
[21:30:00] <serj> are you sure
[21:30:15] <serj> how about those env shell settings
[21:30:31] <andguent> ar -V ... GNU ar ...
[21:30:56] <serj> yep but what's your PATH env
[21:31:29] <andguent> the first thing is /opt/local where i've installed that ar
[21:32:40] <serj> could it be jam then
[21:33:18] <andguent> dunno...is there a way to find out what jam is actually calling and how?
[21:33:23] <tqh> you might need to rebuild buildtools
[21:33:39] <andguent> what i just did
[21:33:54] <tqh> jam -v
[21:34:05] <andguent> Jam 2.5-haiku-20080327. OS=MACOSX. Copyright 1993-2002 Christopher Seiwald.
[21:34:15] <serj> aw tqh can you give me some jam hints
[21:34:42] <tqh> no, saw your question.
[21:34:48] <serj> ok
[21:36:44] *** silverpower has joined #haiku
[21:40:33] *** MrSunshine has quit IRC
[21:40:51] <andguent> arghs...now i physically removed the apple ar from the bin folder and the gnu one is the only exec "ar" left on the system
[21:40:54] <andguent> still the same shit
[21:41:24] <andguent> thats really driving me nuts...because i always had this ar problem and i seem to be the only fucking person to have it.. thats so frustrating
[21:42:42] <VinDuv> andguent: What is your Mac OS X version ? Haiku is building fine on my Mac (with Mac OS X 10.5 and the original /usr/bin/ar)
[21:42:52] <andguent> 10.5
[21:42:56] <andguent> intel
[21:43:17] <andguent> it happens only on intel...my powerbook is fine (not with haiku of course but with the general ar problems)
[21:44:14] <VinDuv> You could try to download the last Xcode version (3.1) from connect.apple.com
[21:44:18] *** leszek has quit IRC
[21:44:43] <andguent> i have this problem since 2.0
[21:44:53] <andguent> and now installed 3.1
[21:45:43] <andguent> maybe i just need to reinstall the system... but nah thats even worse
[21:46:07] <CIA-5> stippi * r28150 /haiku/trunk/ (7 files in 4 dirs):
[21:46:07] <CIA-5> Patch by Artur Wyszynski with some changes by myself:
[21:46:07] <CIA-5> * Resolved TODO: The type of the gradient is no longer encoded twice in the
[21:46:07] <CIA-5> app_server link protocoll.
[21:46:07] <CIA-5> * Moved instantiation of the BGradient into the LinkReceiver::ReadGradient()
[21:46:08] <CIA-5> method.
[21:46:10] <CIA-5> * Check success for (at least) ReadGradient() in ServerWindow.
[21:48:24] <VinDuv> IIRC, the build does strange things if your HFS+ partition is not case sensitive
[21:48:44] <andguent> i put all the stuff in a case sensitive thing
[21:48:45] *** tqh has quit IRC
[21:49:56] <andguent> i stop for now...i would get mad. i am so helpless ...it has to be something so obivous...look, it's just this stupid everyday tool "ar" which is not working...that can't be possible

[23:31:08] <dr_evil> and this notebook ;)
[23:31:52] <dr_evil> well, I used the servers, by downloading 1 mp3 file while beeing at girlfriends this evening :)
[23:32:20] <DeadYak> do I
[23:32:22] <DeadYak> err
[23:32:31] <DeadYak> do I want to know what kind of setup you have managing all that storage?
[23:32:35] *** Ingenu has quit IRC
[23:34:26] <dr_evil> oh it's pretty simple. one machine with 16 500GB harddisks running as RAID6 on a hardware controller, and another machine with 6 1TB drives in software RAID5
[23:34:56] <dr_evil> the other machine has only a single harddisk and is soon to be removed anyway
[23:35:08] <dr_evil> of 120 GB that is
[23:35:27] <DeadYak> are those external arrays or do you have a very very large case? :)
[23:36:13] <dr_evil> the 6 harddisks fit into a mini tower
[23:36:25] <dr_evil> the 16 into a slightly larger big tower case
[23:36:51] <DeadYak> 6 hdds in a mini tower? I rarely see any with close to that many drive bays
[23:37:13] <dr_evil> perhaps it's midi
[23:37:25] <dr_evil> about 40 cm high
[23:37:54] <DeadYak> are you using the bays where things like CD drives would normally go for hard disks or... ?
[23:38:08] *** Stefan100 has quit IRC
[23:38:09] <dr_evil> yes
[23:38:23] <DeadYak> ah ok, that makes more sense )
[23:38:24] <DeadYak> er :)
[23:38:29] <DeadYak> I was thinking 6 internal bays
[23:39:50] <AlienSoldier> vertically use the space of the 5 1/4 bay would allow for lot of HD, and the airflow would be better
[23:40:23] <AlienSoldier> of course that would need to build custum bracket
[23:40:37] <AlienSoldier> *custom
[23:42:05] <dr_evil> the 16 machine has two stacks with 8 hdds and two 12cm fans each, hold together by cardboard
[23:42:19] <DeadYak> lol nice
[23:43:39] <AlienSoldier> does it have DVNO printed in gold?
[23:44:09] <dr_evil> err what?

[23:44:31] <dr_evil> you don't believe? I have some old pictures
[23:44:41] <AlienSoldier> i beleive :)
[23:44:53] <AlienSoldier> already saw pic of some big server you got
[23:45:49] <dr_evil> yes, I have to admitt, its an old server case, slightly larger than a big tower. but you could fit them into a big tower, too
[23:46:25] <AlienSoldier> when are you moving to SSD? :P
[23:46:57] <DeadYak> :o
[23:47:02] <dr_evil> too expensive. usually the machines are not running 24/7
[23:47:25] <DeadYak> :o
[23:47:27] <DeadYak> damn
[23:47:38] <dr_evil> btw. cardboard is very nice to build such stuff. it's not so noisy as using metal, and easier to fit
[23:47:39] <DeadYak> impressive and scary all at once :)
[23:47:49] <dr_evil> it is really stable
[23:49:01]
[23:49:30] <dr_evil> all fans are working
[23:49:59] <AlienSoldier> those HD beg to soak in mineral oil :P
[23:51:01] <AlienSoldier> i guess if all are working at same time, noise must be noticable
[23:52:02] <dr_evil> no. you notice the fans, but not the discs
