<Phaid> acela express > *
<Mjolnir> Internet train. Cool beans.
<Phaid> well it would be nice if they had wifi
<Phaid> fortunately I am not paying for my evdo service
<Squeige> hey guys
<Squeige> i can`t seem to be able to mount my floppy :(
<Phaid> aw
<Squeige> i type mount floppy /
<Squeige> and nothing
<Qwell[]> Phaid: all you
<Phaid> I doubt "nothing" happens there Squeige
<Phaid> I suspect you get an error message
<Squeige> well says
<Squeige> no device floppy
<Phaid> uh huh.
<Qwell[]> perm_denied_are_you_root.o
<Qwell[]> If I didn't know any better...
<Squeige> i am root
<IdiotStic> why would you try to mount it over / in the first place?
<Phaid> it's not a perm problem
<Qwell[]> Phaid: unrelated :p
<Squeige> i dont know where else to mount it
<Phaid> mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
<Qwell[]> that was a file in busybox, heh
<Phaid> the standard place to mount floppies is /mnt/floppy
<Phaid> or just /floppy
<Phaid> either way, that directory has to exist before you can mount the floppy
<Qwell[]> <confusion>
<Qwell[]> or /, if it's a floppy distro
<Qwell[]> </confusion>
<Phaid> /kb Qwell[]
<Qwell[]> :p
<Squeige> ah ok progress :)
<Phaid> :-D
<Phaid> man I am hungry
<Squeige> now it wants a lable, so -l a:??
<Phaid> you shouldnt need to label it
<Qwell[]> huh?
<IdiotStic> just use mtools heh
<Qwell[]> haha, okay, funny story
<Phaid> no just the command I gave should work fine
<Qwell[]> when I was younger...I thought floppy drives read/wrote the physical label on the disk
<Squeige> well its saying a device can be given a name and a bunch of options
<Phaid> haha
<Phaid> Squeige what is saying that?
<Squeige> when i type what you told me to
<Squeige> its like a usage window
<Phaid> wtf kind of mount command does that
<Squeige> im on cent os
<Squeige> i dont knwo
<Phaid> does the directory you want to mount it on already exist?
<Squeige> nope
<Squeige> i looked in the mnt dir, theres nothing there
<Phaid> I told you the dir needs to exist
<Phaid> so
<Phaid> mkdir /mnt/floppy
<Phaid> to create it
<Squeige> ok i did still same thing
<Mjolnir> Phaid - how goes the kid?
<Phaid> awesome. he's really coming along great
<Squeige> i typed mount -t vfat /mnt/floppy and nothing :(
<Phaid> you need to pay attention and type what people tell you to
<Squeige> ill read back
<Phaid> uh huh
<Squeige> but i thought u typed that
<Squeige> i did create the folder though
<Phaid> anyway Mjolnir he's getting very social which is fun
<Squeige> ah i missed a part sorry
<Phaid> he seems to be a very friendly and outgoing little 4 month old
<Phaid> we had a party on monday and all the girls were fawning all over him, he was so happy
<Squeige> dam
<Squeige> this thing is crazy
<Phaid> http://www.debecker.net/william_2646.jpg
<Squeige> so i mounted the floppy, now i do yum install ndiswrapper.1.19.tar.gz and its not doing it
<Phaid> you don't use yum to install .tar.gz files
<Mjolnir> Cute kid
<Phaid> you can probably get yum to download ndiswrapper and install the rpm by doing yum install ndiswrapper
<Phaid> thanks :)
<Phaid> http://debecker.net/william2557.jpg
<Squeige> so if not yum just install?
<Mjolnir> So he's going to be primed to be a DJ
<Squeige> or tar?
<Phaid> sigh
<Squeige> ok ill google
<Phaid> if you really want to install from that tar.gz file you will have to untar it and use make
<Squeige> good day
<Phaid> Mjolnir quite possibly :)
<Phaid> I know he has good taste in music
<Phaid> he likes my current favorite band, The Birthday M***acre
<Phaid> and at the party when my friend put on The Cruxshadows, which I dislike, William started fussing and wouldnt stop til we changed the music :-D
<Phaid> so he's off to a good start with that at least
<Squeige> ok last question
<Squeige> i ran tar and its asking if i wanna extract
<Squeige> i type yes
<Squeige> but i gte nothing

<joobie> Hi Guys.. I've had a problem printing for a few days now - hoping someone can help resolve this.. I have a specific PPD i use to print to a network printer, as within that PPD it has defined a usercode that I have to submit with the print job. When I print in X it's fine, but when i print from CLI using 'lpr file.ps' I see the job sent to the network printer but an error saying invalid user code (it doesnt' appear to be sending the usercode). This
<joobie> only happens with POSTSCRIPT documents..? Any ideas?

<Alien88> can anyone think fo a way to tell what is using so much memory in an apche child process?
<Alien88> i have ones that'll grow to 400-500mb
<Trey> Alien88: sure use ps
<Trey> Alien88: if its a child process of apache you should be able to follow the process tree and find large processes that are a child of apache
<Alien88> yeah but i cant tell what is actually *using* it.. like some php thing or something
<_reppir> is there a windowmaker that works on 64 bit platforms?
<c0n> Alien88: those dirty dirty cgi's can be tricky buggers

<bkervaski> Hi all. I need to add something to one of my daemon init scripts (debian/sarge) and not sure how. I need to have one of the scripts loop until /dev/ttysv0 becomes available, it's generated by another program with a slight delay. Any help would be apprecaited.
<bkervaski> The init script is just a sh script
<Idle`> use udev
<Idle`> have udev start said app once the node has been created
<bkervaski> hrm...
<bkervaski> thanks... not sure how to do that, little hint?
<Idle`> check your udev rules in /etc
<Idle`> not sure myself, but its doable
<joobie> Guys i've been through the cups docs back to front and i can't get my printer to print postscript.. any help appreciated..
<bkervaski> How do I "pause" or "wait" inside a shell script?
<awol> !wtf abs?
<LinuxHOW2> abs is the advanced bash scripting guide a useful doc for learning the bash scripting language at http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html
<arno> sleep
<bkervaski> I have a looping /etc/init.d/ script, will init (debian/sarge) eventually kill it? It's on a remote machine and it hasn't got to ssh yet so I can't get in.
<Idle`> nope
<Idle`> it wont :)
<bkervaski> sum beotch!
<bkervaski> Looks like a trip to the datacenter...
<bkervaski> Do init.d scripts just run in alphabetical order?
<Idle`> yea
<Idle`> well, numerical, since its numbers first
<bkervaski> init.d scripts?
<Idle`> I've gotta go find mir... I deorbited it over africa... cant have the etheopians getting a station
<bkervaski> This ****s.
<Idle`> yea
<Idle`> they need to be in the runlevel tho
<bkervaski> heh.. did it to myself.. I put the loop in there..
<bkervaski> Wasn't thinking through the problem.
