<markybob> antum1, notice the '.' after the first '.com'
<bleanna_unux> markybob: thank you. but my bro is asking why only 298 out of 320 is used. u would think it would be at least 300 GB.
<stoned> whoah
<stoned> I just read that as abrotman.com
<muhoo> big, huge trouble. nothing is installable anymore on a sarge system, because of this: http://pastebin.com/884136
<Rusty1> talexb: either get debian itself or get ubuntu, kanotix etc. live cd and use their installer
<stoned> haha
<muhoo> libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge5 is broken??!
<peterS> bleanna_unux: when the vendor says "320 GB" they mean 320000000000 bytes. if you divide that by 1024 three times, you get 298
<muhoo> that would be.... bad.
<markybob> peterS, thank you. getting a bit overwhelmed here :)
<antum1> markybob, fantastic, that fixed that problem, now just a few more to go :) I'll come back if I get stuck again. Thanks for your help though, I really appreciate it
<markybob> antum1, no worries. good luck
<Rusty1> mue: No space left on device?
<AussieHatter> muhoo: it says disk space doesnt it ?
<peterS> bleanna_unux: 298 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 is 319975063552, so they call it "320 GB", which I think is a bit dishonest, but it's what _all_ hard drive vendors do
<talexb> Rusty1, I think Ubunbtu is my next stop. Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it.
<muhoo> AussieHatter: ah, thanks
<bleanna_unux> peterS: thanks. makes sense now. We both bought the same drive and knew it would not be 320 but thought it would be @ least 300 GB
<peterS> heh. almost 300.
<peterS> this is the same folly that makes people label 1440 kB floppy disks as "1.44 MB"
<peterS> (a true 1.44 MB would be about 1475 kB)
<peterS> though I suppose that's a poor example since it _is_ in fact possible to format standard 1440 kB floppies for a lot more than 1440 kB
<dondelelcaro> it's the subtle difference between gigabyte and gibibyte
<terr> IF there is a python programmer here (familiar with perhaps IDLE) I'd like to know how to list a program I created interactively... I get the entire log of the session. Code is embedded... I want to separate the code and save it.
<dondelelcaro> terr: #python is probably the best place to ask
<terr> dondelelcaro: I'm trying on irc.debian.org but there was no one there a short while ago.
<dondelelcaro> terr: yeah, on freenode there are 328 people
<terr> dondelelcaro: I can't join the chennel here.
<markybob> terr, register your nick
<markybob> terr, then you will
<muhoo> duh, a backup drive that was supposed to get mounted as part of a backup script, didn't get mounted, so backups were getting dumped into / fs. doh!
<terr> markybob: had it registered... gonzo. Its bitching about my ident now...
<markybob> muhoo, you should fire the guy who didnt test the backup script :)
<muhoo> markybob: i do that often :-)
<terr> markybob: there is some issue with the ident deamon due to my firewall. I wrote a dummy some time ago (few years) and have forgotten how and even where the code is.
<markybob> terr, got another box you could ssh into and irc from?
<AussieHatter> markybob: text based irc ?
<terr> markybob: probably! probably forgot my user id and passwords tho... Ihave a few boxen!
<dondelelcaro> terr: you don't need identd to register a nick...
<markybob> AussieHatter, yeah. what's wrong with that?
<AussieHatter> markybob: don't know haven't tried it, what is the name of the client ?
<terr> dondelelcaro: come to think of it - my proper ID is not used on that box I'm thinking of...
<markybob> AussieHatter, i kinda like bitchx, myself :)
<AussieHatter> markybob: are u on it now ?
<markybob> AussieHatter, no. i'm currently in x. but i use it regularly when not in x
<terr> dondelelcaro: I had the user id and password registered before. probably didn't use it often enough.
<AussieHatter> markybob: cool, i will check it out, it has colours ?
<markybob> AussieHatter, yes
<AussieHatter> markybob: nice, i will remember that, thx
