| [01:00] <Fudge> anyone want to help with very basic patches | |
| [01:01] <sagaci> Fudge: what package | |
| [01:01] <sagaci> or bug report | |
| [01:02] <Fudge> no a patch to change /etc/default/grub setting remove comment for grub beep 2nd last line | |
| [01:02] <sagaci> yeah, what about it? | |
| [01:03] <Fudge> I am trying to learn ways to patch files such as that | |
| [01:03] <Fudge> to pacakge | |
| [01:03] <Fudge> been told about quilt also | |
| [01:03] <sagaci> are you using bzr | |
| [01:05] <Fudge> no | |
| [01:05] <Fudge> plan to though but this is my first delv into packaging | |
| [01:05] <Fudge> so just grabbed a package that themuso made for vinux that needs updating | |
| [01:05] <sagaci> where did you get the grub package | |
| [01:05] <Fudge> very basic things in it | |
| [01:05] <sagaci> ah ok | |
| [01:05] <Fudge> all the grub script is at the moment is adding a beep to 03-beep into grub.d and updating grub | |
| [01:06] <Fudge> previously though in our build scripts | |
| [01:06] <Fudge> we would sed /etc/default/gurb to uncomment | |
| [01:06] <Fudge> of course a patch is reliable where sed is not | |
| [01:06] <Fudge> so thought process is to figure out how to write a patch | |
| [01:06] <Fudge> sagaci hope that gives you a picture of what i am trying to explain :D | |
| [01:07] <Fudge> oh gosh | |
| [01:07] <Fudge> quilt seems extensive | |
| [01:12] <Fudge> sagaci you used quilt? | |
| [01:17] <sagaci> sorry, I've just been out | |
| [01:18] <Fudge> np mate | |
| [01:18] <Fudge> baby steps i need if u don t mind | |
| [01:18] <sagaci> cousin needs to fix his vista install | |
| [01:19] <Fudge> ah yep i founda howto | |

| [13:50] <ikt> anyone here? | |
| [14:12] <sagaci> ikt: maybe | |
| [14:30] <ikt> haha | |
| [14:31] <ikt> i'm wondering about the possible electiricty savings that could be made by having 1 server running spice and all 4 computers in the house connecting to it | |
| [14:42] <sagaci> wouldn't have a clue | |
| [17:37] <airtonix> spice? | |
| [17:39] <airtonix> oh it's like libvirtd | |
| [17:40] <airtonix> ikt: what are the compelling reasons to use spice over libvirtd ( & archipel) ? | |
| [18:03] <ikt> http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showpost.php?p=12967270&postcount=5 | |
| [18:04] <ikt> hard to explain as I'm just dipping my toes in the virtulisation pool | |
| [18:04] <ikt> but I gather SPICE is like 3d compared to RDP/VNC which is 2d, but more of a throughput deal | |
| [18:05] <ikt> if i understand it properly spice should sit on top of kvm | |
| [18:07] <ikt> archipel looks very awesome | |
| [20:44] <head_victim> ikt: when I looked into energy savings I decided to look at what I actually NEEDED 24/7 and figured out I could whack it all on a server (mine was file related and IRC was nice) and only have the desktops turn on when required. | |
| [20:45] <head_victim> I'm still in the process of moving it all to the server (as I happen to be in the middle of a study reorganise as well to remove a full size rack) but that's how I came up with the best power saving here. | |
| [21:00] <head_victim> On a side note, George Carlin rocks. | |
