<Idle`> E) didn't set root= or embded the root into the kernel
<Idle`> rselect or soemtihng
<Idle`> back to figureing out wtf I did...
<tiGbx> hey is there a way to get xauth to work when a user's homedir is readonly?
<tiGbx> for x11 ssh fwding
<tiGbx> sorry for report, i saw a crapload of ppl rejoin from split ;)
<Icekiller> is it possible to emulate a usb device to a serial device?
<Idle`> kinda, yes
<Icekiller> Idle` what do you mean with 'kinda'?
<Icekiller> kinda like don't bother, kinda like yeah but its a bit tricky...
<Idle`> its tricky
<Idle`> and dont bother... :S
<Idle`> what do you need it for?
<Icekiller> Idle` usb card reader
<Idle`> so... what are you doing?
<Idle`> you want it to look like a usb device?
<Icekiller> umm it doesn't seem to be compatible with the software that i'm using..
<Icekiller> i get 'card fail' messages
<Icekiller> [ Config ] Option <readers> not present for User: User2, NO reader control enabled <-- that kinda..
<Idle`> yea, dont think thats possiible without writing your own driver
<Icekiller> hmm to bad thx anyway:)
<jeenam_> www.prosoundsystem.com/new/idiots.txt
<Phantom-> does anyone know if the GRUB bootloader can boot seperate harddrives and not just seperate partitions
<Idle`> yep
<Idle`> thats what I do :)
<Phantom-> hmm
<Phantom-> well for some reason its not detecting my windows drive
<Idle`> sure it is
<Idle`> whats the error?
<Phantom-> so i have to keep unplugging the drive with redhat in it
<Phantom-> it just doesnt show up
<Idle`> haha, I know what s wrong
<Phantom-> o rly?
<Qwell[]> so add it
<Idle`> you need to swap the drives... it does that
<Phantom-> swap the drives how
<Idle`> theres 2 commands
<Idle`> ****, **** ****... my desktop is in windows
<Qwell[]> Idle`: If it were even in the list to begin with :P
<Idle`> I dont have the config on hand
<Qwell[]> chainloader +1
<Idle`> Qwell[]: nope
<Idle`> doesn't work
<Qwell[]> plus map
<Phantom-> Im new to linux so I dont know what im doing
<Qwell[]> map (hd0, hd1) and map (hd1, hd0)
<Qwell[]> or, whatever
<Phantom-> alright, so im supposed to do what
<Qwell[]> edit your grub.conf
<Qwell[]> and read one of the many howtos out there
<Qwell[]> !wtf dualboot?
<Idle`> map
<Idle`> thats the one
<Phantom-> alright
<Qwell[]> .google grub windows dualboot howto
<Qwell[]> DON'T use the gay one that uses boot.ini on windows
<Phantom-> alright
<Idle`> yea, thats a bad bad bad one
<Idle`> grub> map (hd0) (hd1) grub> map (hd1) (hd0)
<Phantom-> I add that to the grub.conf?
<Idle`> thatll swap the drives for all windows knows, and makes it chainloadable
<Idle`> yep
<Idle`> before chainloader +1
<Phantom-> alright thank you
<Qwell[]> Idle`: It's not even in grub in the first place :P
<Idle`> cant remember if you need to use the resultant root or not
<Phantom-> yeah, its not
<momelod> hey people
<Idle`> Qwell[]: what?
<Qwell[]> Windows
<Idle`> and?
<Qwell[]> and, he needs to add it :p
<Idle`> windows is the one that borks, not linux
<Qwell[]> Idle`: nothing b0rked
<Phantom-> no no no
<Phantom-> ah forget it
<Qwell[]> just completely non-existent
<Phantom-> ill find a tut
<momelod> silly question, i wanna write a web interface to some command line stuff, what scripting language would allow me to run a command, and watch the output live?
<Qwell[]> Phantom-: google
<austx> sry im new but im trying to learn linux... can anyone think of any reason why i was able to telnet into my box 5 min ago but now i get a message back saying 'connection closed by foreign host.'
<Idle`> momelod: php
<Qwell[]> austx: Your admin got smart, and disabled telnet
<Idle`> momelod: but php will timeout if the app takes too long
<Qwell[]> or, less dumb, as it were
<austx> its a dedicated box
<Idle`> austx: use php
<Idle`> telnet == BBBAAADD
<momelod> Idle` whats the function i can lookup on php.net?
<Idle`> momelod: ``
<Idle`> same as bash, kinda
<momelod> back ticks?
<Idle`> $blah = `pwd`;
<Idle`> or system
<momelod> i see
<momelod> so your basically escaping the php and into shell
<Idle`> system will p*** it to output
<Idle`> `` will p*** the stdout and stderr to a variable
<momelod> but say i wanted to run nload
<momelod> like none stop output
<Idle`> nload?
<Idle`> oh, haha, good luck with that :)
<momelod> :)
<momelod> the dewd who wrote webmin did it somehow
<Idle`> youll need something like java and a listener to do that
<Idle`> php has this habit of timing out if it takes too long
<Idle`> if you really want to, you can remove the timeout, and make it die
<Idle`> apache will get tied up, and it can cause problems
<momelod> i can imagine
<momelod> well thanx for your thoughts
<Idle`> but, if its done right, itll work OK, just secure it
<Phantom-> all these tuts are for having them on the same disk
<Idle`> Phantom-: :)
<Idle`> I told you how to add it
<Phantom-> just edit the grub.conf
<momelod> maybe i can run the command line exec in the bg and output to a file, then refresh the webpage every 5 seconds?
<Qwell[]> momelod: sure
<Idle`> http://uuoc.com/1543
<Idle`> momelod: probably the best
<momelod> but can apache spawn a shell and run in the bg?
<Idle`> or use ajax so it looks transparent
<Idle`> momelod: run it in a screen or something
<Idle`> I think screen will let you snapshot a screen
<momelod> that would be kewl :)
<momelod> so im gunna try it, but how do i get apache to launch a binary and detach?
<Idle`> screen -D app
<Idle`> start it on your own
<Idle`> and have apache just read the screen
<Idle`> if thats possible....
<momelod> i see
<Idle`> may not be
<Juzzy> make php do it
<Idle`> er, -d -m
<Phantom-> ok going to go try editing the grub.conf
<Phantom-> brb
<momelod> Juzzy: make php do what?
<momelod> im thinking php or perl
<Juzzy> either works
<Idle`> momelod: worst case, cat its tty
<momelod> but were u saying php has a way to run a bin in the background?
<momelod> Idle` another good idea, would apache process have access to the tty device tho?
<Idle`> not by default
<momelod> yeah, that might be a bit risk-eh
<Idle`> nm, that wont work
<Idle`> just tried it
<Juzzy> momelod: php: system("my_backdoor.sh&");
<Idle`> ****s off all input
<momelod> k, well i've some ideas to play with now.. thanx peeps
<Idle`> Juzzy: bad idea
<Idle`> screen can run detached
