<Vanadis__> mezcalero, are you here?
<Vanadis__> i just tried to port systemd to windows 7 x64 but it's not working
<Vanadis__> where can i file a bug?
<microcai> Vanadis__:  R U kiding me ?
<auke> you can file a bug against yourself, as you are the one supporting that (...) effort
<auke> Vanadis__: you should make your own bugzilla so others can file bugs against your porting project

<unraveled_> hi
<unraveled_> i've just read about systemd
<unraveled_> sounds GREAT!
<unraveled_> is there a way to port that to Windows 7 x86 ?
<unraveled_> i mean is shouldn't be too hard, right?
<unraveled_> the problem is, I don't want to use that linux crap
<unraveled_> because usually nothing works on linux
<unraveled_> i've tried it with several setups, none of them runs
<unraveled_> always sais something like "please choose a program to open "setup.exe""
<unraveled_> so that's why i want to use systemd with windows
<unraveled_> is this possible?
<zdzichuBG> what the … 
<kay> unraveled_: yes, just download the systemd installer
<unraveled_> can you send me a link?
<kay> unraveled_: it has not pretty interface on windows but we all run it
<unraveled_> http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/
<unraveled_> windows doesn't recognize the file
<unraveled_> how do i open it?
<microcai> unraveled_:  change the extension to .exe or .com
<unraveled_> i've downloaded systemd-1.tar.bz2
<unraveled_> ok thanks microcai 
<auke> I'm selling troll food in #trolls, come on over
<auke> cheap prices good troll food!
<Vanadis__> what's a troll?
<Vanadis__> is this something like a gnome?
<unraveled_> i can't write in there
<kay> unraveled_: set: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Managed\User SID\Installer\Assemblies\path
<kay> to systemd.i386
<kay> then it should work
<unraveled_> I don't have a HKLM directory on my C drive
<unraveled_> or is this a registry key?
<Vanadis__> don't do this, it will set your pc on fire or something
<kay> use regedit32
<zdzichuBG> systemd is written in .net to be portable
<unraveled_> hmm, i tried to rename it to .exe
<kay> are you logged in as 'Administrator'?
<unraveled_> but "not a compatible win32 application"
<kay> you need that
<unraveled_> yes, i disabled UAC
<unraveled_> because UAC is only good for noobs
<kay> good
<unraveled_> zdzichuBG, i don't like .net, because it's from microsoft
* Vanadis__ (~Vanadis@84-75-177-123.dclient.hispeed.ch) hat #systemd verlassen ("ping-zeit aus")
<zdzichuBG> unraveled_: and windows is from whom?
<unraveled_> bill gates
<unraveled_> why do you ask?
<zdzichuBG> i thought the same people who made windows made .net
<unraveled_> i don't care, as long as it works
<unraveled_> also i got systemd running on windows
<kay> one side effect of systemd on windows is that it enables focus-follows-mouse, but you'll get used to it, and like it after a while, i guess
<unraveled_> by running a linux kernel in user-space under windows
<unraveled_> focus follows mouse sucks, i prefer sloppy focus
<unraveled_> okay, great with systemd running in userspace on a kernel in userspace i just need to switch the kernels
<unraveled_> is it possible that the linux kernel boots windows and runs in kernel mode and the windows kernel runs in usermode?
<microcai> unraveled_:  yes
<microcai> unraveled_:  checkout kvm
<unraveled_> i did, bt kvm cant boot windows from initrd, so this doesn't count
<unraveled_> because its linux in windows on linux
<microcai> unraveled_:  I got  windows under linux under windows under linux under bsd  under linux ;)  All running ,but slow~~~~~~ What one day to bot
<unraveled_> it never worked for me
unraveled_> enough trolling for today
