[10:26]<znvszznzdnz>-ish
[10:26]<lxjzanw>I'm going to wipe the config and then do a reconfigure -- getting "depth not supported" errors now and that's NOT what it was reporting earlier
[10:26]<znvszznzdnz>any joy with modprobe snd-hda-intel ?
[10:26]<nnvnaxj>I will need some help with setting up grub with the new kernel in a bit
[10:26]<wjfs>phorce1: could be there is no support for such a comparatively new chip in xfree yet
[10:26]<nnvnaxj>no jetscreamer
[10:27]<znvszznzdnz>:(
[10:27]<nnvnaxj>I've never used grub only lilo
[10:27]<wjfs>jetscreamer: there is no snd-hda-intel for 2.6.8

[10:27]<rvgrtn>morning...
[10:27]<nnvnaxj>lol
[10:27]<nnvnaxj>oh the joys of configuring a new kernel
[10:27]<wjfs>make oldocnfig is easy
[10:28]<nnvnaxj>gonna have to point fstab and grub at sda4 instead of hda4 now
[10:28]<znvszznzdnz>too many y/n/m questions for me
[10:28]<wjfs>but faster than going through make menuconfig
[10:28]<nnvnaxj>yea but will it enable new stuff that would be needed?
[10:29]<z000v>i am thinking about trying out debian.. but i was wondering about the availability of i686 optimized packages?? someone
[10:29]<znvszznzdnz>i hate not knowing what to put and have to put the safe one because i have no idea wtf it is :)
[10:29]<rfgw2jmg>can i open a partition as a file to make a gz backup?
[10:29]<wjfs>alexbodn: yes
[10:30]<wjfs>r000t: there are oprimized kernels and libc.
[10:30]<nnvnaxj>scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c: At top level:
[10:30]<nnvnaxj>scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:131: warning: array `attributes' assumed to have one element
[10:30]<nnvnaxj>make[2]: *** [scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o] Error 1
[10:30]<nnvnaxj>make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
[10:30]<nnvnaxj>make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
[10:30]<nnvnaxj>oops forgot lol
[10:30]<lxjzanw>wols: the error specifically mentioned the chipset I had as supported. I'm trying to generate a clean config now.
[10:30]<gzvxzcz>anyone know of a more up to date usb disk sized linux distro?
[10:30]<znvszznzdnz>oopsies
[10:30]<gzvxzcz>more up to date than DSL, that is
[10:30]<rfgw2jmg>wols: just gzip /dev/hdax?
[10:30]<znvszznzdnz>usb disk are big nowadays
[10:30]<znvszznzdnz>:)

[10:31]<z000v>%H<%Hwols%H>%H: and what about everything else
[10:31]<wjfs>alexbodn: different output file, but basically yes
[10:31]<wjfs>r000t: no. if you want to do ricing, use gentoo
[10:31]<rfgw2jmg>wols: restoring this backup would work the same?
[10:32]<znvszznzdnz>kconfig?
[10:32]<zezz>phorce1: check this: http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=2
[10:32]<vnnnnnu>how can i generate? sender_canonical_map.db
[10:32]<z000v>%H<%Hwols%H>%H: using gentoo right now .. but i want another where everything is a bit more (out of the box like but still optimizied)
[10:32]<2zmznzs>that's too long, r000t
[10:32]<wjfs>NetEcho: apt-get install libncurses5-dev build-essential kernel-package
[10:32]<znvszznzdnz>yes
[10:33]<wjfs>r000t: optimizing is mostly a waste of time
[10:33]<nnvnaxj>thx wols
[10:33]<nnvnaxj>yea its true
[10:33]<z000v>%H<%Hwols%H>%H: why do you say that
[10:33]<znvszznzdnz>wtf?
[10:33]<wjfs>tarzeau: postmap?
[10:33]<nnvnaxj>the optimizations you do with gentoo get you barely any more preformance over a binary installed OS
[10:33]<lxjzanw>Hmmm dpkg-reconfigure isn't generating a new XF86Config-4. It's not writing ANYTHING to the file
[10:33]<znvszznzdnz> %H<%Hwols%H>%H ?
[10:34]<rvgrtn><jetscreamer> %H<%Hwols%H>%H ?

[10:34]<svjgnm>his xchat is screwey
[10:34]<wjfs>stupid color codes since he uses a l337 script
[10:34]<znvszznzdnz>i dunno i was asking r000t, who did it
[10:34]<znvszznzdnz>ah.. color

[10:35]<znvszznzdnz>alli see is % H
[10:35]<rfgw2jmg>wols: restoring a .gz backup to a partition filename would work the same?

[10:35]<rvgrtn>stoned, please call me by nickname... thx
[10:35]<znvszznzdnz>he can't he's too stoneded...
[10:35]<wjfs>alexbodn: unpack the backup, then use dd to copy it over
[10:35]<znvszznzdnz>:)
[10:35]<rvgrtn>stoned is always stoned
[10:36]<wjfs>dunno if just ungzipping would work
[10:36]<rvgrtn>you should hear him on skype... its hilarious

[10:36]<vnnnnnu>wols: thanks
[10:36]<znvszznzdnz>shhh the dea might be watching
[10:37]<wjfs>somehow with pipes it should work
[10:37]<svjgnm>mmm I could use a good pipe
[10:37]<wjfs>e.g. uncompress to stdout and make dd use stdin to write that to /dev/hda
[10:37]<znvszznzdnz>paper
[10:37]<zezz>good day mr tarzeau :)
[10:37]<rfgw2jmg>wols, isn't pipe working on the finalized output?
[10:37]<wjfs>what do you mean finalized output?
[10:38]<lxjzanw>Azar: ? install graphics driver ? As in separate driver the way one has to with Windows (or with nVidia)?
[10:38]<vnnnnnu>hello Azar
[10:38]<znvszznzdnz>or fglrx
[10:38]<zezz>phorce1: sure
