| |
| 13:47 | <ltspbot> Q-FUNK: "g" is Gadi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
| |
| 13:48 | <Gadi> hey there, Q-FUNK
| |
| 13:48 | just thinking about you
| |
| 13:48 | was reading this:
| |
| 13:48 | http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8339641893.html
| |
| 13:49 | talks about how GSW BIOS can be made to be difficult for certain OS's on purpose ;)
| |
| 13:49 | but, then, you guys roll your own
| |
| 13:49 | :)
| |
| 13:49 | <Q-FUNK> yup
| |
| 13:50 | however, Jordan already suspects that GSW might have a programming error in their VSA implementation
| |
| 13:50 | <Gadi> yeah, he helped me a lot yesterday
| |
| 13:51 | we got the gx driver up to where the lx is
| |
| 13:51 | and found out my GeodeROM BIOS lies about the presence of a flatpanel
| |
| 13:52 | you wouldn't want to get Bart under NDA and pay him to fix the bug in the GSW BIOS, would you?
| |
| 13:53 | <Q-FUNK> that might be complicated
| |
| 13:53 | I'll find out more on tuesday, once everybody is back into office
| |
| 13:54 | <Gadi> k - worth a shot :)
| |
| 13:54 | <Q-FUNK> paying him would be the easy part, but getting him under our GSW NDA might be more difficult
| |
| 13:55 | <Gadi> so, how closely do you think these BIOSes are tied to their boards?
| |
| 13:55 | K_O-Gnom has quit IRC | |
| 13:56 | <Gadi> Im gonna try swapping a GSW for a GeodeROM
| |
| 13:56 | <rjune_> Gadi!
| |
| 13:56 | are you working today?
| |
| 13:56 | <Gadi> juney!
| |
| 13:56 | I just made it in to the office (my wife finally let me go) ;)
| |
| 13:56 | <rjune_> personally, I would take the wife.
| |
| 13:57 | <Gadi> yeah, well. I never get such perfect days to get stuff done
| |
| 13:57 | <rjune_> Isn't hannakuh around now?
| |
| 13:57 | heh
| |
| 13:57 | <Gadi> 2 weeks ago
| |
| 13:57 | <rjune_> so close, but not that close
| |
| 13:57 | <Gadi> early this year (its a leap year)
| |
| 13:58 | <rjune_> I thought next year was the leap year
| |
| 13:58 | <Gadi> nope - this one - we add an extra month after next month
| |
| 13:58 | March-ish
| |
| 13:58 | passover will be late
| |
| 13:58 | <rjune_> You have your own calandar just for Jews?
| |
| 13:59 | <Gadi> you'd expect any less?
| |
| 13:59 | <rjune_> nope.
| |
| 13:59 | <Gadi> haven't you heard of Jewish time? ;)
| |
| 13:59 | we're always 20 mins late
| |
| 13:59 | :D
| |
| 13:59 | <rjune_> I did not know that
| |
| 13:59 | I'm really slacking on learning about Judaism, I'm a piss poor honorary Jew.
| |
| 14:00 | <Q-FUNK> heh
| |
| 14:00 | <Gadi> don't be so hard on urself
| |
| 14:00 | <rjune_> Q-FUNK: I'm even three quarters of a man.
| |
| 14:00 | <Q-FUNK> Gadi: somewhat closely. IIRC we even build for specific DDRAM
| |
| 14:01 | <rjune_> hey, at least I know what Hannukah is.
| |
| 14:01 | <Gadi> Q-FUNK: well, lets hope we don't smell silicon :D
| |
| 14:01 | <Q-FUNK> hey! I figured that much already.
| |
| 14:01 | I'm not a complete idiot!
| |
| 14:01 | some parts are missing...
| |
| 14:02 | <Gadi> ok... who stole my baby phillips?
| |
| 14:03 | <rjune_> I thought your baby was Gideon
| |
| 14:03 | <Q-FUNK> phillips. screw, drive her.
| |
| 14:05 | Gadi: oddly enough, IIRC, LinuxBIOS is a tad smarter, in that it can be made to test for different DDRAM configurations and to live with that.
| |
| 14:05 | <rjune_> Gadi: I forget, what is your son's name?
| |
| 14:05 | ben, right?
| |
| 14:05 | <Gadi> #1: Beni (Benjamin Shimon) #2: Ilan (Ilan Yaacov)
| |
| 14:06 | <rjune_> That's right, it's been so long, you've got two now.
| |
| 14:07 | <Gadi> how are all the little juneys?
| |
| 14:07 | lots of presents everywhere?
| |
| 14:07 | <rjune_> of coures
| |
| 14:07 | Merlin's playing with an RC car at the moment
| |
| 14:09 | <Gadi> col
| |
| 14:09 | er, cool
| |
| 14:09 | I had one of those
| |
| 14:09 | I think I only recently threw it out
| |
| 14:09 | it had an old-school board
| |
| 14:09 | discretes and everything
| |
| 14:09 | <rjune_> it's a little matchbox size bumblebee
| |
| 14:10 | I moved up to living in three dimensions
| |
| 14:10 | sounds like you had quite a car
| |
| 14:11 | <Gadi> well, it wasn't a lot
| |
| 14:11 | ferrari testarosa, iirc
| |
| 14:11 | <rjune_> nifty
| |
| 14:11 | <Gadi> but, now that I know what all the circuits do, its a lot more interesting
| |
| 14:11 | electronics have come a long way since then
| |
| 14:12 | speaking of which, swapping BIOses didnt work
| |
| 14:12 | no POST
| |
| 14:12 | :(
| |
| 14:12 | oh well
| |
| 14:12 | just an experiment
| |
| 14:12 | <rjune_> Get yourself a helicopter.
| |
| 14:13 | <Gadi> first, I need to get myself some time
| |
| 14:13 | second, energy
| |
| 14:13 | 3rd, a helicopter
| |
| 14:13 | :)
| |
| 14:13 | * Gadi always wanted one | |
| 14:14 | <rjune_> You could always hire somebody to do your work for you
| |
| 14:14 | <Gadi> heh - once I thought I could just write a script
| |
| 14:14 | that never panned out
| |
| 14:14 | <rjune_> heh
| |
| 14:16 | I thought you did have an employee now
| |
| 14:16 | <Gadi> we have several
| |
| 14:17 | and contractors
| |
| 14:17 | problem is, I still have lots of work
| |
| 14:17 | :)
| |
| 14:17 | <rjune_> heh
| |
| 14:17 | management? or still technical?
| |
| 14:18 | <Gadi> if you have any fat men invading your home, give him a google map to my house, and tell him to bring a suitcase full of unmarked bills
| |
| 14:18 | * Gadi is all of the above - the perfect storm of stress | |
| 14:18 | <rjune_> You're fat?
| |
| 14:19 | <Gadi> heh
| |
| 14:19 | <rjune_> when did that happen? you were pretty skinny last I saw you
| |
| 14:19 | <Gadi> I meant the management and techincal
| |
| 14:19 | :)
| |
| 14:19 | <rjune_> ah
| |
| 14:22 | Lucky you
| |
| 14:22 | I avoid management type stuff whenever I can

| 15:50 | is there some way to use ltsp from a pc
| |
| 15:51 | wihoout using a thin client?
| |
| 15:52 | lalito has quit IRC | |
| 15:52 | <Gadi> there are many ways to bring up a Linux desktop, but none would be LTSP
| |
| 15:53 | too late

| 23:45 | <dr_byson> i have a problem with tftpd
| |
| 23:45 | in the client tfpd no loading
| |
| 23:46 | "TFTPD............"
| |
| 23:47 | <ari_stress> dr_byson: does the client gets IP from dhcp?
| |
| 23:48 | <dr_byson> yes, gets
| |
| 23:48 | sorry for my english , im from chile
| |
| 23:49 | <ari_stress> sorry for mine too, i'm from south east asia :D
| |
| 23:49 | well,
| |
| 23:49 | does the client boot from PXE?
| |
| 23:49 | <dr_byson> yes
| |
| 23:50 | dniel has quit IRC | |
| 23:50 | <ari_stress> it could mean that the PXE is not supported by ltsp
| |
| 23:50 | i have several clients that behave like that
| |
| 23:50 | zodman has joined #ltsp | |
| 23:50 | <ari_stress> we need to use a boot floppy instead
| |
| 23:51 | <dr_byson> mmm , my client boot drom PXE and gets ip
| |
| 23:51 | but TFTP no loagin
| |
| 23:51 | loading*
| |
| 23:53 | this appear " TFTPD .........."
| |
| 23:53 | <ari_stress> yes, the symptom is like that, get the ip, but failed to load the kernel image in tftp
| |
| 23:54 | <dr_byson> yes ,
| |
| 23:55 | <ari_stress> very frustating
| |
| 23:55 | <dr_byson> maybe , the configuration tftp
| |
| 23:55 | <ari_stress> oh ok, i remember
| |
| 23:55 | check this:
| |
| 23:55 | <dr_byson> ok
| |
| 23:55 | <ari_stress> http://linuxagora.com/vbforum/showthread.php?t=860
| |
| 23:55 | one of the suggestion is to:
| |
| 23:56 | Modify /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default. (This modification is for PXE booting only.) Add the following text to the end of the "option=" line:
| |
| 23:56 | "-r blksize" {do not enter quotation marks}
| |
| 23:56 | Also in /etc/inetd.conf:
| |
| 23:56 | tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot -r blksize
| |
| 23:56 | i havent tried that, though
| |
| 23:59 | <dr_byson> mmmm /etc/inetd.cong this is not created
| |
| 23:59 | i have archlinux
| |
