SenRepus

SenRepus

chocomo
well short of checkign all cables and all software and stuff I don't know what to do to hlep you
sorry :/
LjL
SenRepus: oh, so it does it with ctrl/alt/shift keys?
only with those, or ordinary keys as well?
SenRepus
just function keys
chocomo
odd
LjL
SenRepus: 'cause if you're using windows, you might have enabled sticky keys without noticing. that's a function for the disabled, you should be able to turn it off from somewhere in the control panel
Jetpack
i had tea spilled on my laptop
LjL
SenRepus: "accessibility" i think
chocomo
yes the same place as mouse keys
SenRepus
LjL, i know, its not on, but im using options in the same area to use mousekeys
i think its glitching

chocomo
it could have been bugged up when you set those settings when you enabled mouse keys it could have been dumb and set 'yes' on other things
SenRepus
na i just checked it
chocomo
hmph
restart then?
:/
SenRepus
well, mashing all the function keys fixes it
for a while
some random combination of keys made my "mouse click" download "view mods" for Dimmu Borgir
chocomo
:/
LjL
SenRepus: try putting a radio transmitter next to your computer, i found that's much more fun: the computer starts to believe you're crazily pressing keys and stuff
your HD might not find that funny, mind you... but we're too worried with "data" these days anyway
SenRepus
it already believes that
im restarting

faket
hey guys i got a problem with the tagger
ruaok
you and me both
faket
it randomly locks up my whole computer while tagging
ruaok
yeah, because its crap.
use picard
faket
and i cant ctrl - alt -delete
is there any way to automomate picard,
i dont have entire cds
ruaok
sorry not yet. maybe in the future.
do you have a personal firewall running?
chances are the old tagger conflicts with it.
faket
i got the newest version of it
ruaok
thats not what I asked.
faket
all i got is windows firewall and a router
ruaok
does the router have a firewall?
faket
im set as dmz an no firewall
ruaok
well, ifyou disable the windows firewall it might work, but that is not smart.
faket
ill add an exception for the tag program
and see what taht does
ruaok knows what that will do.
Shepard
it will download picard autmatically? :D
ruaok
heh. just wait. you'll find out when faket disconnects because his machine locked up
faket
:)
SenRepus doubts ruaok is joking
what port does tagger use?
ruaok
80
ruaok snickers
HairMetalAddict wonders if port 666 gets blocked when Christian software is installed...
Shepard decides to use notepad to write answers to mails now since thunderbird fails at simple quotes

Shepard

LjL has quit
ruaok
so,,, I have a dilemma...
if someone is a total moron and they are likely to waste my time, is it ok to ignore them>
?
ojnkpjg
yes
ruaok
like the guys that mailed support@ the other day: subject: quick question message: How do I use this musicbrainz thing?
ruaok didn
't respond
SenRepus
"RTFM"
rowaasr13
Yeah and subject: quick response.
ojnkpjg
unless they're family
then you can't ignore them

"Did you try hitting your monitor?"
LjL joined the channel
LjL
they say linux doesn't crash - yeah, right
ruaok
LjL: you just have to try harder
rowaasr13
Oh, come on. I managed to crash every OS I've seen.
ojnkpjg
cat something to /dev/port
it'll go down in no time at all
LjL
ruaok: but it just crashed, so i must have tried hard enough
HairMetalAddict
Last crash was... hmmm... 2002? And then I tried installing an unstable kernel, so I don't count it. ;-)
LjL
well to be fair linux didn't crash, just X did... but that doesn't make that much of a difference as long as everything i have open is in X
ruaok
LjL: everytime linux has crashed on me I was either: 1) doing something stupid 2) had hardware failure
oh, yeah. Ssh in to fix it.
I've sshed in from my phone to fix a borked X session.
LjL
it wasn't "broken", it just restarted on me
ruaok
the person next to me almost flipped their lid when they saw me do it.
HairMetalAddict
hehe
SenRepus
i have no idea what youre talking about
ruaok
SenRepus: using your cell phone to log in to linux box that is semi-locked up.
SenRepus
ah. weird
LjL
ruaok: well i have a computer that i use as a server that has no monitor or keyboard, and i use my PDA to login over serial when it gets in trouble :)
ruaok
yep, gotta love linux.
LjL
(ok, "when it gets in trouble" = "when i do something nasty inside /etc/inittab")
