irclog2html for #brlcad on 20070222

00:00.23 IriX64 could it be a bug in asc2g?
00:01.02 IriX64 still mged should *not crash.
00:24.40 ``Erik brlcad: I saw a script in /etc/crontab for checking apache that was commented out...
00:27.48 ``Erik and of course I could back that far out, I'm a fuckin' pro
00:27.57 ``Erik *duck*
00:49.27 *** join/#brlcad IriX64 (n=who@bas3-sudbury98-1168056909.dsl.bell.ca)
00:52.43 IriX64 two instances of gcc consumes cpu.
00:54.42 IriX64 why don't they build disk interface (and disks to go with them ) that allow a request of more data while data xfer is already in progress? sort of like full duplex communications.
00:55.38 IriX64 eliminate the disk bottleneck or at least reduce it.
00:57.34 IriX64 sharability test is going well.
00:58.04 ``Erik they, uh
00:58.04 ``Erik do
00:58.06 ``Erik they're called scsi
00:58.32 ``Erik sata's are starting to do a lot of the fu, too
00:58.37 ``Erik <-- does all the time
00:58.42 ``Erik also; I like doing make -j
00:58.45 ``Erik wit hsome big number
00:58.57 Twingy make -justin
00:59.16 Twingy base 26 :D
00:59.28 ``Erik that'd be a fairly big number there :D
00:59.31 IriX64 err +18
01:00.16 ``Erik hmmmm, still not southpark season :/
01:00.38 IriX64 victoria secret season tho :)
01:07.45 IriX64 on the other hand it gives the cpu a rest waiting on disk.
01:14.22 ``Erik yeah, cpu's just love thermal shock
01:16.07 IriX64 http://www.pastebin.ca/366985 < somethings wonky with my load avg :(
01:16.49 IriX64 ``Erik they stay warm for quite some time especially if you provide a woolen coat :)
01:18.22 IriX64 ahh i remember, they don't know about each other.
01:20.12 IriX64 hahah xterm says the same thing.
01:35.31 IriX64 msg ``Erik you like png? I'll give you png, check incoming. :)
01:35.58 IriX64 how do i recover from that :(
01:36.35 IriX64 and here I thought finangle passed me by sigh.
01:38.28 louipc it takes me like 2hrs to compile brlcad :P
01:39.35 IriX64 *ahem* let's get back on topic, soon as BRL-CAD finishes installing i'm going to see about something.
01:39.53 IriX64 ahh thankyou for putting me back on topic louipc.
01:39.56 IriX64 :)
01:40.13 IriX64 2hrs, mines about 1hr.
01:40.18 louipc no prob
01:40.37 IriX64 you enable-almost-everything too?
01:40.59 louipc I'm running PIII 866 MHz 384MB RAM
01:41.08 louipc I enable optimized
01:41.09 louipc that's it
01:41.21 IriX64 and it takes 2hrs?
01:41.43 louipc yeaaah I have an old computer
01:42.06 IriX64 overclocked obviously.
01:42.15 louipc nope I don't do that
01:42.26 IriX64 then why 866?
01:42.59 louipc because that's what I bought 6yrs ago :D
01:43.07 IriX64 heh.
01:43.25 louipc yeah I need to upgrade hm?
01:44.06 louipc It'll be such of a jump, my head will probably spin off
01:44.26 IriX64 do it from parts its cheaper, the video you can probably retain.
01:45.08 louipc I think the gfx got wonked in a storm, or my monitor
01:45.40 louipc building from parts is never cheaper for me. I try to put in good stuff
01:46.33 louipc but I wouldn't do it any other way
01:47.11 louipc !?
01:47.32 louipc where do you get such a thing?
01:47.38 Maloeran Still installing base software for my new toy
01:47.48 Maloeran Just bought it, received today
01:48.24 louipc where'd you buy that from?
01:48.56 IriX64 :)
01:49.30 Maloeran What do you mean, louipc? I ordered the pieces at some local shop.. which is surely not available where you live
01:50.02 louipc ah alright
01:50.14 louipc I think the most I can get is 4 cores
01:51.25 Maloeran Clovertown chips are 4 cores, put two on the same motherboard. Or you can put 2-4 dual-core opterons
01:51.32 louipc ah I see
01:51.53 louipc yeah I'd like 2 cpus
01:52.46 Maloeran The thing is fairly noisy, but as much as my old overclocked AMD64 in a home-made plexiglass case with two 160mm 110V fans
01:53.44 Maloeran There weren't any board that allowed overclocking of Clovertown chips, so there was no reason to motivate any exotic case building...
02:00.10 IriX64 ermf add too.
02:02.14 IriX64 whats the "proper" way to reinstall just one component of BRL-CAD when you toy with the individual pieces?
02:03.35 ``Erik in the dir of the thing you mucked with, type "make install"
02:03.41 IriX64 ahhhh louipc this should work make -changed_only install right? :)
02:05.22 ``Erik no can do, gubmint properties
02:05.36 ``Erik also; you couldn't handle the sheer awesomeness of fbsd
02:05.37 ``Erik O:-)
02:05.47 IriX64 if i lived there i'd say well i'm a taxpayer :)
02:06.46 IriX64 say ``Erik, has Gionnini been around lately?
02:07.22 ``Erik whowhathuh?
02:07.31 IriX64 ;)
02:08.21 IriX64 Navy peron don't worry bout it.
02:08.27 IriX64 person too.
02:10.58 IriX64 freebsd eh?
02:11.18 IriX64 its free for a reason. (duck)
02:13.58 ``Erik uh, yes, because it has one of the most liberal licenses in existance... that's where the name comes from...
02:14.19 ``Erik because jolitz was being a cockbite with bsd386
02:14.58 IriX64 lucky for you we're not in meixed company, ermf am i sure of that?
02:15.03 IriX64 mixed too.
02:15.17 ``Erik and the whole at&t lawsuit thing that resulted in much rewriting of old code
02:15.31 ``Erik resulting in bsd4.4lite
02:15.49 IriX64 I've never had the pleasure of fbsd ``Erik, is it that good?
02:16.02 ``Erik I like it *shrug*
02:16.40 ``Erik fbsd is the 'unix' part of macosX, to boot
02:16.52 IriX64 why did thet go away from the .exe thing?
02:16.57 ``Erik uhhh
02:16.59 ``Erik away from?
02:17.21 ``Erik bsd predates cp/m and qdos (later brandraped to be msdos) by quite a bit
02:17.26 louipc Maloeran: you have Intel chips?
02:17.36 IriX64 freebsd stuff ive seen uses no extension, i assume it uses both relying on the signature in the file like most others true or false
02:17.40 IriX64 ?
02:17.48 ``Erik no, it relies mostly on the permissions of the file
02:17.51 ``Erik it's a unix
02:18.14 IriX64 execute visavisa data, that thing.
02:18.46 IriX64 does that shield you though from DEP?
02:18.54 IriX64 err drop the p
02:19.07 ``Erik 'DE'?
02:19.27 IriX64 data execution, ive read a bit about data execution prevention.
02:20.01 Maloeran Yes louipc, AMD hasn't released their quad-cores yet..
02:20.09 ``Erik yeah, uh, that's something else... and very protected in some variants of bsd... obsd being the most aggressive, with the w^x paging
02:20.11 IriX64 DEP to help protect your system from malicious code.
02:20.11 louipc IriX64: same in linux, executables usually have no extension
02:20.33 IriX64 ahh ty
02:21.18 louipc Maloeran: ah I didn't think that you'd go for those
02:21.27 ``Erik and usually it's called injection, and usually done via a stack smash
02:22.04 Maloeran I'm all AMD usually, Intel's latest chips are supposed to be decent
02:29.27 Twingy numaPIC
02:29.44 ``Erik numanumanumanuma
02:29.51 Twingy DEY TUK R JBS!
02:30.01 ``Erik that'd be, like, the geekiest 'badger' song ever
02:30.59 Twingy I'll tell you what, this twin engine plane is the most addictive thing ever
02:31.16 Twingy I ran into some one else flying an electric at the high school this evening
02:31.27 Twingy being about to fly < 1 mile from my house is awesome :)
02:32.18 ``Erik pretty fast?
02:32.32 Twingy moderately
02:32.36 Twingy but it sounds awesome
02:32.45 ``Erik heh
02:32.47 Twingy main reason why I haven't gone electric yet
02:32.50 ``Erik swap off htose mufflers for tuned pipes :D
02:32.53 Twingy just doesn't sound the same
02:33.10 Twingy I usually fly at 1/2 throttle
02:33.18 Twingy but when you open it up it's very much a 3D plane
02:33.55 Twingy starting both engines up is no big deal either
02:33.59 ``Erik cool
02:34.01 Twingy takes about a minute
02:34.09 ``Erik are they bothing feeding off the same fuel tank?
02:34.09 Twingy I might swap out the 4oz tanks for 6oz ones
02:34.14 ``Erik ah, seperate
02:34.23 Twingy 4oz tanks == 10-12 minute flights
02:34.38 Twingy since you've only got 0.25 FX's drawing off them
02:35.01 Twingy I've got a pair of 0.46 LA's I don't know what to do with yet
02:35.16 Twingy need to get gerber junk into gcam
02:35.52 ``Erik .46's would make a fairly big twin
02:36.13 Twingy yep
02:36.19 Twingy we've got like 100 0.60
02:36.23 Twingy 0.60's at work
02:36.32 Twingy those'd make it move :)
02:37.06 ``Erik hehehe
02:37.07 Twingy I might just buy a 0.60-0.90 plane and build that up
02:37.18 Twingy since I have 2 receivers and xmitters now
02:37.29 ``Erik hm, still on the island?
02:37.47 Twingy http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHCR7&P=0
02:37.49 Twingy bought that
02:37.57 Twingy should be here next week
02:38.13 Twingy you can set it to any channel
02:38.16 Twingy no crystal
02:38.19 ``Erik cool
02:38.40 Twingy yes, in fact spent half the day testing the autopilot
02:38.44 ``Erik my futabu 6ch uses a crystal :/
02:38.50 ``Erik futuba
02:38.58 Twingy hehe
02:38.59 Twingy fu tabu
02:39.13 Twingy brian hates the futabas
02:39.17 Twingy he's all JR
02:39.26 Twingy I'm liking hitech stuff
02:39.26 ``Erik bah
02:39.30 brlcad ``Erik: yeah, I disabled the script just in case
02:39.41 Twingy I haven't had one of those in some time
02:40.01 Twingy probly 8 months ago
02:40.08 ``Erik aaanyways, if you get a little free time, you should take a few of us out to the island to show us your toys :)
02:40.34 Twingy probably 2 weeks from now might be good
02:40.44 Twingy I might have some neat stuff to demonstrate
02:40.52 ``Erik cool
02:41.46 Twingy we just got a box of neat stuff that will allow me to finish building my neat stuff
02:41.55 ``Erik check this out... I had to update the fire escape maps... to mark the SIP rooms... so I did that... NOW the fucktard wants me to verify that the symbol I chose is ok for that map. ffs.
02:42.12 Twingy you gotta get out of there...
02:42.15 ``Erik no shit
02:42.20 Twingy why won't you listen to me :)
02:42.31 Twingy stop sitting with your thumb up your butt and move
02:43.03 Twingy if I were you 'd be making phone calls left and right to CISD and HRED
02:43.07 ``Erik <-- is putting effort towards it, installed latex on his machine so he can work on his resume o.O then got sidetracked *cough*
02:43.19 Twingy outside or inside ARL?
02:43.19 ``Erik hm, I've heard less than thrilling things about cisd lately
02:43.37 Twingy CISD does alot of neat stuff with comms
02:44.48 ``Erik I kinda sorta miss industry treatment... I mean, free coffee and tea are kinda minimal things... free popcorn, soda, and lunches are out there... total flex time, ...
02:45.49 Twingy I like the job security until I can start my own company
02:45.49 ``Erik no hassle telecommute, ...
02:46.02 ``Erik yeah, that's kinda the big thing that has kept me here, heh
02:46.08 Twingy plus some of the stuff I'm working with costs more than my house
02:47.03 Twingy before you leave, I'd highly recommend finding a position that is < 50% mission funded
02:47.16 Twingy that actually makes a huge difference
02:47.41 Twingy < 50% mission typically means 6.0 and 6.1 funding plus independent research
02:48.21 Twingy Maloeran, for the umpteenth million time, sucky management
02:48.48 ``Erik *nod* in industry, the place would've gotten a serious gutting and had most if not all mgmt replaced
02:49.03 Twingy you got back 10 years and where I was / where erik currently is was a hot spot
02:49.18 Maloeran By the way Justin, when I said to Mark you suggested to look into engineering, architecture and medical applications for the raytracer... He suggested to sit down us three and talk about it. I don't think you'll be interested but I'm forwarding the message
02:49.22 ``Erik 5, even
02:50.08 Twingy Maloeran, let me sleep on it
02:50.12 Maloeran Sure
02:50.26 Twingy I started running again, got the juices flowing
02:51.00 Maloeran Eheh, sounds good. I'm really getting lazy lately, I have so few needs for locomotion
02:51.17 Twingy I'll run after work for the next couple of months
02:51.44 Twingy my brain spews out clever ideas when running
02:52.32 Maloeran Neat. It doesn't happen to me when running, it happens when coming back to idle on the sofa for 10 minutes, exhausted
02:52.47 Twingy ah, that's when stomach kicks in and wants 10lbs of pasta
02:52.54 Maloeran Eheh, that too
02:53.10 Twingy mmm triptophan
02:53.29 Twingy the sleepy happy make you feel good chemical
02:54.01 Twingy got 15k rpm disks in it?
02:54.25 Maloeran Eheh quite not, it's only geared towards computations
02:55.41 Twingy bet they'd increase compile speed by 10-20%
02:55.56 Twingy Maloeran, setup a ram disk
02:55.59 Twingy compile on that
02:56.24 Maloeran *nods* I'm more looking forward to testing raytracing
02:57.02 Twingy I've probly spent $800 on r/c stuff in the last 2 months
02:57.34 Maloeran r/c?
02:58.34 Twingy radio control
02:58.50 Twingy haven even started dumping money on the electronics for the rocket yet
02:58.57 Twingy but I got the shopping list ready
02:59.56 Maloeran Ah. I spent 4000USD on that box, but I don't do that too often
03:01.03 ``Erik dayamn
03:01.42 ``Erik <-- spent like $700 on his laptop, like $400 on his last x86
03:01.50 Twingy I figure the gyros, accelerometers, gps, and modem alone will cost me $150
03:02.01 ``Erik I'm, like, moving towards kermit behavior, I guess :D
03:02.04 Maloeran And how much on that car, Erik? :)
03:02.11 ``Erik erm
03:02.15 ``Erik a bit more than 4k
03:02.22 Twingy how many gigglehurts is it
03:02.30 ``Erik well
03:02.44 ``Erik the last one has some giggles, and then some hurts... not at the same time, though
03:02.49 ``Erik had
03:02.59 Maloeran 8 * 1.6ghz of the latest Intel Xeon chip, improved server-grade Core 2
03:03.03 ``Erik so far,t his one is just giggles, no hurts yet, hopefully won't get there :)
03:03.11 Twingy I don't think I ever saw what happened to the last one
03:03.23 ``Erik other than the sharp stabbing pain in my right buttcheek, where my wallet sits
03:03.40 ``Erik http://math.missouristate.edu/~erik/m3/20060925/640x480/
03:03.49 ``Erik camera is fucked up
03:04.15 Maloeran Was it really just some patch of grass? That's what you said at the time, doubts remain..
03:04.21 Twingy you killed the car
03:04.33 ``Erik the grass got me sliding without control
03:04.36 Twingy you hit a patch of grass?
03:04.39 ``Erik two trees got it rolling
03:04.44 ``Erik then slide across the road upside down
03:04.49 Twingy how do slide out of control on a patch of grass?
03:04.50 ``Erik and hit an embankment and two more trees
03:04.59 Twingy were you doing one of your crazy 0 - mach3 stunts?
03:05.04 ``Erik then came to rest on the road on the passenger side
03:05.07 Maloeran That's some fearful grass.. It's the first step I find difficult to imagine
03:05.22 ``Erik left curve over a crest, got the right wheels in the grass in a ditch...
03:05.35 Twingy ok
03:05.38 Twingy you were on a road
03:05.42 Twingy you started accelerating
03:05.48 Twingy then grass came out of nowhere?
03:05.58 Maloeran Were you speeding or accelerating too fast?..
03:06.00 ``Erik no, level speed, and I was just running too wide
03:06.13 ``Erik and dicking with my phone *cough*
03:06.13 Twingy running too wide? what's that mean
03:06.35 ``Erik uh, driving too close to the shoulder?
03:06.43 ``Erik and not turning in tight enough?
03:06.44 ``Erik heh
03:07.03 Maloeran Ah, so there's a cell phone factor involved *nods*
03:07.03 ``Erik <-- may not have exactly been completely below the speed limit
03:07.20 Twingy and, if you don't mind me asking, how much did the insurance cover?
03:07.40 ``Erik quite a bit
03:07.45 Twingy all of it?
03:07.54 ``Erik um, less a grand or two
03:08.08 Twingy guess those high insurance rates paid off
03:08.26 ``Erik heh, yeah
03:08.28 Twingy my insurance is set to like bottom of the barrel
03:08.35 Twingy like $121/mo
03:08.39 Twingy for like $15k coverage
03:08.39 ``Erik then I got a letter saying my insurance was going up seventeen point something %
03:08.57 Twingy so they are going to get their money back from insurance
03:08.58 ``Erik and got the fee, went DOWN a fair bit
03:09.34 ``Erik <-- was paying ~169/mo, now paying 135/mo for jacked up %'s on a sports car with a total and two tickets...
03:09.39 Twingy did you get any money for the scrap?
03:09.42 ``Erik no
03:09.48 Twingy how come?
03:09.56 ``Erik they own it when they pay it off
03:10.01 Twingy ah
03:10.09 ``Erik to get my insurance check, I handed over keys and signed the title over
03:10.27 Twingy I woulda took a few parts
03:10.30 Maloeran Eheh, keys were a nice symbolic gesture
03:10.34 ``Erik I have a few parts in my basement
03:10.37 ``Erik and one of the keys
03:10.57 Twingy in case you want to break into the pile of scrap iron
03:11.02 ``Erik unfortunately, I took the bmw emblem, not the fucking m3 emblem :/
03:11.41 ``Erik *shrug* I kinda miss the blue
03:12.20 ``Erik but the one I have now is less conspicuous and a little sportier (shortthrow shifter, aluminum pedals (GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY CAR, TWINGY), dvd nav, ...)
03:12.37 ``Erik um, miguel in wmrd bought a laguna seca m3 after seeing mine
03:12.39 Twingy I got more aluminum than I know what to do with
03:12.47 ``Erik he parks behind 390
03:12.53 Twingy I'm very very close to cutting the first prototype motor
03:12.57 ``Erik sweet
03:13.14 Twingy I almost have the jig finished cutting from MDF
03:13.16 ``Erik I'm eager to see a sketch or model or even description of what makes it special :)
03:13.43 Twingy what makes it special is it's KISS simplicity
03:13.43 ``Erik and if ya want a pencil jockey to crunch formulas or numbers, lemme know :D
03:14.16 Twingy one of those why didn't I think of that deals
03:14.56 ``Erik <-- thinks he gets more of a kick out of the theoretical side and crunching data than the machining
03:15.14 ``Erik though test burns are cool...
03:16.06 Twingy I'm actually looking forward to the first round of tests
03:16.18 Twingy this will be new territory for me
03:16.27 ``Erik where ya gonna light things up at? sandy hook? or the school?
03:16.36 Twingy probly my garage at first
03:16.56 ``Erik hm
03:17.09 Twingy it can't explode, so there's no real danger
03:17.09 ``Erik got an ABC fire extinguisher?
03:17.15 Twingy I got 2
03:17.29 ``Erik okie, make sure one is out in the garage when ya kick it off :)
03:18.10 ``Erik my kitche one dropped below the 'green' range, so I used it out on my deck
03:18.14 ``Erik that's kinda fun
03:18.22 ``Erik but the yellow powder gets freakin' everywhere
03:18.39 Twingy then you locked yourself outside and had to break a window to get in?
03:18.43 ``Erik heh, nah
03:18.47 Twingy :)
03:19.01 Maloeran Nice Erik, that reveals an aspect of your cooking talents :)
03:19.02 ``Erik my finger isn't stiched on right now, I can jump down to the ground
03:19.26 ``Erik what, that I've never had a fire extinguisher grade fire in the last 4 yrs?
03:20.20 Maloeran Well, that you had to use your kitchen fire extinguisher down to below the green range
03:20.33 ``Erik they are pressured, they lose pressure over time
03:20.42 Maloeran Oh.
03:20.45 ``Erik and the first time you use one, it drops below green
03:21.10 ``Erik <-- has never had an uncontrolled fire :)
03:21.32 Twingy I've only had explosions
03:21.57 ``Erik yeah, but half the time, you cook rocket fuel in your kitchen :D
03:22.34 Twingy I still don't know what I'm going to do with all that potassium nitrate, I will probably never make KNDX propellant again
03:22.52 Twingy might just throw it in the yard for fertilizer
03:22.54 ``Erik make a garden box in your back yard
03:22.58 Twingy yep
03:23.20 Twingy I am gonna get a tiller this summer and fix my yard
03:23.27 ``Erik in missouri, I had two 4x8' boxes... half of one was all green onions... whenever I made an omelete, I'd go out, pull a couple, wash 'em and slice 'em up
03:23.28 Twingy I've got the worst fucking soil
03:23.30 ``Erik good stuff
03:23.35 ``Erik hey, at least you HAVE soil
03:23.39 ``Erik hafl my back yard is clay
03:24.20 Twingy mine takes half an hour to dig a foot
03:24.20 ``Erik the other half is stone and broken concrete
03:24.20 Twingy like a fucking steam roller went over it
03:24.21 Twingy pisses me off
03:24.22 ``Erik development housing soil :(
03:24.41 Twingy after I till it I'll throw down sod
03:24.43 ``Erik I took my pickaxe to break up the clay some so the grass could grow through
03:24.49 Twingy do a sprinkler system first
03:24.52 ``Erik almost every swing was into stone with sparks flying
03:25.05 Twingy then lay down a few hundred square feet of brick
03:25.48 ``Erik my neighbors put down brick under their deck, took the dude a fair amount of time, said it was a LOT harder than he figured
03:26.00 Twingy he was probably doing it wrong
03:26.11 Twingy I figure I'll bang it out in a few weekends
03:26.25 ``Erik I d'no, looked fairly stadnard to me... dug it up, put down the gravel, then started packing bricks
03:26.38 Twingy didn't put sand down?
03:26.45 ``Erik I don't know
03:26.51 ``Erik I didn't pay TOO much attention... :)
03:26.55 Twingy gotta put down black tarp, then sand
03:27.02 Twingy keeps the weeds out
03:27.16 ``Erik this is snugged on the north side of the house
03:27.19 ``Erik grass won't grow, just moss
03:27.36 ``Erik so even if he did forget the black plastic, it wouldn't be the end of the world
03:27.45 Twingy I'm gonna use big stone bricks

04:02.30 IriX64 say can rtedge be used from the gui?
04:07.59 IriX64 http://www.pastebin.ca/367136 <<< === it can but what am i doing wrong here?
04:14.36 IriX64 maybe not bldg391 faills too on this command rtedge all
04:18.33 brlcad IriX64: it's like rt, just type rtedge
04:18.48 IriX64 ty
04:18.52 brlcad an argument of havoc tells it to open a geometry file named "havoc", which does not exist
04:19.13 IriX64 explained thank you.
04:19.28 brlcad if you run rtedge on the unix command line, you have to specify the file and geometry
04:19.45 IriX64 never tried that.
04:19.45 brlcad on the mged command line, just e the object (or select it in the geometry browser), then run rtedge
04:19.58 Maloeran Anyone knows what the Linux "migration" process is? I can't find any information on google besides being told how to migrate from windows to Linux
04:20.00 IriX64 got it thanks.
04:20.05 brlcad e or draw or whatever you use :)
04:20.16 IriX64 heh thanks.
04:20.32 brlcad Maloeran: I think Linux migrates south for the winter around October
04:21.08 IriX64 heh that's geese ;)
04:21.26 brlcad http://www.falklandsconservation.com/penguins/pengmig.html
04:21.39 brlcad they even draw you pretty pictures ;)
04:23.21 Maloeran All right, I'll be satified with answers on penguins and Linux OS migration :)
04:24.05 IriX64 so now i'm a penguin ;)
04:24.42 Maloeran I'm used to know what every process running is, but that's a new one in the default Gentoo scripts. There's one assigned to every core, I guess it's for some kind of process/thread migration
04:26.05 IriX64 mct=master control thread.
04:27.09 IriX64 watch the default stack sizes though :)
04:30.11 brlcad Maloeran: what exactly are you asking? from what it sounds, seems like gentoo is offering you options on what processor affinity settings you want?
04:31.34 brlcad or how to actually do full-blown process migration between cpus in a cluster ala mosix or what?
04:32.01 Maloeran 8 processes named "migration" are launched by the gentoo boot scripts. They have no man pages, no documentation, and google can't tell much
04:32.17 brlcad ahhhh
04:32.32 brlcad i totally read what you wrote differently :)
04:32.39 Maloeran I realized :)
04:32.52 Maloeran The page about penguins is still interesting though
04:33.02 brlcad heh, that was in jest, but even afterwards ;)
04:35.01 brlcad wow, a search turns up some work mike muuss did years ago on a migration daemon
04:35.04 brlcad http://ftp.arl.mil/~mike/papers/88bump-pit/bump.html
04:35.17 brlcad totally unrelated, but quite ironic
04:35.31 brlcad well, at least probably unrelated ..
04:36.28 Maloeran Curious ideas on file system migration
04:37.25 brlcad mm.. transparent file migration
04:38.02 brlcad a holy grail that we still don't have, a transparent global shared network file store
04:38.09 Maloeran IriX64, typical master/slaves design, my raytracer works like that ; both for threads and fpr network processing
04:38.27 IriX64 with someone in charge?
04:38.38 IriX64 rt shelling it out?
04:38.54 Maloeran Indeed brlcad, yet it doesn't seem so hard to implement
04:39.51 Maloeran Except for files that wouldn't fit on one single physical device and would have to be broken into pieces by the driver, that's more messy
04:40.40 brlcad I know of several projects that do it, and work well
04:40.56 brlcad it's more the practical issues of getting OS standardization/cooperation
04:41.43 brlcad google's probably in the best position to get that going actually, with the mass file stores, using machines across the internet and pseudo shared drives
04:42.02 brlcad Maloeran: see which package the file belongs to, might give a lead
04:42.09 brlcad epm -qf `whereis migration`
04:42.31 brlcad or locate or whatever to actual file
04:43.23 brlcad qpkg should do the trick too
04:47.54 Maloeran Yes, apparently thinking that I was rewriting that, but I'm not
04:48.02 Maloeran Oops, nevermind
04:52.43 IriX64 ``Erik how bigs *your fbsd BRL-CAD tar.gz? ;)
04:52.50 Maloeran I never bothered to really learn the client, the first irc client I found on Linux many years ago
04:53.22 IriX64 my first on unix was good olle irc
04:53.33 IriX64 ircii
04:53.41 louipc oh yeah
04:54.33 brlcad irssi is the path to enlightenment
04:55.00 IriX64 just don't type control c on a system like mine. :)
04:57.11 IriX64 louipc i guess standard 60Hz what think you?
04:57.32 louipc I've never owned an LCD
04:57.52 louipc my system is 6yrs old eh
04:57.56 IriX64 haven't got a calculator eh? ;)
04:58.16 louipc oh? how do I do it?
04:58.28 IriX64 you tell me.
04:58.34 louipc I've no clue
04:58.54 louipc LCDs can't be faster than CRTs though can they?
05:00.12 IriX64 lcds operate on a charged pixel basis, crt, actually provide a beam to lite an entire row of pixels, lcds try to get each individually.
05:00.31 Maloeran I think they have become close to equivalent in quality, hence why I tried my first LCD
05:01.12 IriX64 i like to open my system up, ergo i prolly will never own a laptop or notebook.
05:01.14 louipc I thought it was just price... or LCDs might be cheaper now
05:01.42 louipc IriX64: why not open up the notebook?
05:01.53 IriX64 and do what exactly?
05:01.58 louipc tinker
05:02.19 IriX64 one look convinces they should not be tinkered with.
05:03.01 Maloeran LCDs still seem to have problems with the black "color", it's not quite as black as my Viewsonic CRT
05:03.35 IriX64 its the screen mask your seeing.
05:04.59 louipc lol
05:05.22 Maloeran Print your own, 5 lines of code ;)
05:10.12 brlcad LCDs have exceptionally low "refresh rates" compared to CRTs and are usually in the 20-100Hz range, 60Hz is pretty common
05:10.44 brlcad but since they are "charged" as IriX64 noted, it doesn't mean nearly the same
05:11.30 brlcad there's generally no "scanline flickering" for example, as there is no scanline beam, the image just has a burn in/out time
05:12.37 brlcad one of the things that can make gaming painful on crappy LCDs (and even high-end ones in general) because of image motion and high response times
05:13.10 brlcad not as much of a problem these days, most LCDs are "good enough" at the 60 Hz range
05:18.14 Maloeran This 5ms response time would be equivalent to 200hz, that's quite high
05:29.04 IriX64 Maloeran: why don't i just use 'g' :)
05:50.08 Maloeran Hum. 60 million rays per second, 100fps in 800x600
05:50.55 IriX64 just which laptop model is that ? ;)
05:51.44 Maloeran A big heavy and noisy laptop, it's not comfortable at all sitting on my lap :)
05:51.53 IriX64 100fps? I get 2.8-12.0 depending.
05:52.40 Maloeran This is not the raytracer you see in BRL-CAD, I'm talking about rendering 100 full frames of first-hit per second
05:53.08 IriX64 was gonna comment about penguins :)
05:56.02 brlcad heh, http://img470.imageshack.us/img470/7848/image001ac0.jpg
05:56.15 IriX64 first write loop unrolling and jump optimizations amongst other things into your compiler then recompile.
05:57.20 IriX64 thought that was spelled doughnuts brlcad.
06:01.23 IriX64 anybody with g-jack.exe, could you give me an approximate byte size?
06:03.31 Maloeran I don't think you'll find a lot of people with .exe files here...
06:04.50 IriX64 equivelent will do.
06:08.02 IriX64 louipc will fbsd still run an exe file?

19:12.16 brlcad the underlying smooth anti-aliasing that X (and most graphical interfaces) does for LCD displays takes advantage of the RGB interleave

21:35.01 IriX64 --disable-shared is a workaround but...
21:39.22 IriX64 louipc have you tried?
21:40.08 brlcad IriX64: try installing libpng on your own
21:40.35 IriX64 change dir to libpng and compiule and link you mean.
21:40.45 IriX64 compile too
21:41.02 IriX64 ill try that.
21:43.17 IriX64 an hour from now, i'm going to let this run complete (or error out) :)
21:44.02 IriX64 could try it on the backup tree but im leary of dinking around in there.
21:55.08 IriX64 ill try configuring exactly the same way and will switch to libpng.
22:03.07 IriX64 http://www.pastebin.ca/368180 <--- brlcad doing it that way yields this output.
22:18.28 brlcad IriX64: that's not what i meant
22:18.46 brlcad i meant go get libpng, compile it and install it or find a cygwin package for it
22:18.49 IriX64 hrmm?
22:19.21 IriX64 to get by it you mean, ill just run with --disable-shared but ty.
22:19.36 brlcad but your second error pastebin is actually considerably more informative
22:19.48 brlcad that shows the real error
22:20.01 IriX64 hope it helps.

22:26.30 Maloeran Can anyone confirm my assumption that laptops are as vulnerable to low temperatures as desktops, hence one shouldn't boot one which stayed a hour at -10C?
22:29.07 dtidrow_work I would say yes, though that's mainly for the hard drive
22:29.25 dtidrow_work I imagine that the bearings might get rather sticky at those temps
22:30.17 ``Erik laptop hdd's (and fans) tend to be smaller with smaller tolerances, though, I'd imagine that'd make them more susceptable to heat contraction and expansion, no?

22:30.35 brlcad IriX64: that's rather incorrect..
22:30.41 brlcad to only have the .a
22:31.11 brlcad cd src/other/libz and try a make .. see if it links a libz.so or .dll or whatever it does under cygwin
22:31.52 brlcad if it still doesn't make it, do a make clean there, then make again .. see if there's any message in the output as to why a shared library isn't built
22:36.47 IriX64 did a make clean there before i started but ill check.
22:38.02 IriX64 doing libz will give you the whole thing.

22:41.22 IriX64 Maloeran a cup of warm broth would do wonders for that chilly laptop :)

22:55.27 brlcad huh
22:55.31 brlcad there it built it
22:55.48 brlcad some sort of wierd timing
22:56.01 brlcad cd ../../.. && make

23:04.41 brlcad hrm, that's rather useless .. ld just fails with no error
23:04.53 IriX64 agreed
23:05.42 IriX64 its not something i did i think because it did it very first build before i touched anything.
23:06.23 brlcad i don't think it's anything you've done
23:06.35 brlcad i think it's an environment/ld/cygwin issue
23:06.51 brlcad would have to see if there's an ld flag or something to get more verbose output
23:07.00 brlcad maybe remove the --silent libtool flag
23:07.47 brlcad try adding ./configure --enable-build-progress
23:07.57 IriX64 part of this is my fault, that darn error should be more informative. let me try something.
23:08.01 brlcad don't remember if that was added before 7.8.4 or after
23:08.17 brlcad grep bc_build_progress configure.ac
23:08.22 brlcad it should return a line or two
23:08.56 brlcad if it does, rerun configure with --enable-build-progress and see if libpng's failure is more informative
23:11.45 IriX64 http://www.pastebin.ca/368263
23:12.44 brlcad heh, i don't need to see it
23:12.50 brlcad just "if it does" ....
23:13.04 IriX64 reconfiguring, doin a clean first.
23:16.48 IriX64 could it be that version number on the .so? version mismatch or something, mmm but that doesn't explaiun the undefs.
23:21.17 IriX64 http://www.pastebin.ca/368273
23:21.22 IriX64 bbiab.
23:35.23 brlcad still no error message -- looks like an ld bug to me, but that's not something I can debug easily without sitting at a console and testinging and checking lots of things
23:37.34 IriX64 brlcad: I agree, its got to be this .so.2.24 thing, not being handles properly, tried an eggdrop compile and i have no problem with .so modules.
23:38.21 IriX64 many thanks (and apologies to pastebin.ca for cluttering them up )
