<0> I tried input/mice as well.
<0> and there are several pages that suggest I cat some of the mouse devices to see if any input comes from them.
<0> but no luck.
<1> what sort of mouse is it
<0> regular USB mouse made by creative.
<0> When I first set up slack, I chose a usb mouse. I ***umed there would be a lot of support for something like that. I decided not to initialize GPM at startup, so I didnt get a mouse in the console.
<0> But X's setup as well as xorgsetup seens to have no information regarding usb mice.
<0> Everytime I try to run xorgsetup (damn my laziness) It seems to want to point to /dev/mouse
<0> !wtf xorg
<0> Oh yeah
<0> I guess thats for the ops l;)
<2> !wtf xorg?
<0> yeah
<0> I wanted to know why slack now uses xorg as opposed to Xfree86
<2> simple
<2> xfree isn't current anymore.
<0> weird.
<0> is it still free?
<2> hasn't been for years
<2> define free
<0> hmmm
<0> erm
<0> well
<0> gnu liscense
<0> or whatever
<2> xfree's license was modified to a non-gpl compatable license over 2 years ago resulting in m*** developer migration
<0> I think thats the one it was under =\
<0> ah
<0> Apparently I'm out of the loop =\
<0> This is what 3 years of Convergys will do... =\
<3> bwahahah
<3> convergys
<2> x.org is now the defacto X11 distribution
<0> glad someone got the humor.. I was scared I would have to explain
<0> defacto?
<2> official
<0> ah
<0> well thats cool.
<2> Hell, X11R6 isn't even current anymore
<2> X11R6.9 is the end of the line for R6, and X11R7 is already out.
<3> :D
<0> so then, X11R7 is under the new liscense...
<2> no
<3> nope
<0> oh wait
<2> officially x.org branched from the last gpl release of Xfree
<0> thats only Xfree86
<0> ok.
<3> its just a new code layout for the source... they add all the new features to it
<0> I figured that.
<0> well then, It would appear I'm all caught up on X history.
<0> Now if I could just fix this mouse problem. I think I might be starting to hate usb ;)
<4> anyone know if its possible to create ACL for openldap, enfocing such things as a range of gidNumber from which a authenticated user may create groups of ?
<5> Does anyone know which RFC specifies how many nameservers can be ***ociated with a domain, how long the domain can be, the valid characters, and all that ?
<6> I've having several performance issues with my hardware (DVD/RW & Harddrives) under linux and was wondering if anyone would be willing to help determine how to correct them?
<1> looked in to hdparm?
<6> abit. I changed the settings for DVDRW to be optimal (according to K3B docs) and it didn't seem to help.. Also I was told for my SATA drive hdparm isn't really something that has an affect
<6> My harddrives appear to just be running very slow.. Copying large files seems to take significantly more time than it does in windows
<6> and my DVDRW writes at ~1.5k when it's capiable of 16X
<6> but again in windows it performs correctly
<3> wescotte: how do your sata drives show up?
<3> hdX or sdX?
<6> sda
<3> yea, then hdparm is useless
<3> hdparm -Tt will show you the speed of the drive
<7> hdparm -Tt /dev/sda will give you a performance test
<7> oops
<6> yeah the results I get from my drives with -Tt seemed to be correct according to other people in the channel
<6> but when actually using them I can tell a significant difference in performance in linux than windows
<6> /dev/sda:
<6> Timing cached reads: 1712 MB in 2.00 seconds = 856.00 MB/sec DIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device iming buffered disk reads: 170 MB in 3.00 seconds = 56.67 MB/sec DIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
<7> ouch
<7> /dev/sda:
<7> Timing cached reads: 2664 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1330.21 MB/sec
<7> Timing buffered disk reads: 182 MB in 3.01 seconds = 60.53 MB/sec
<6> /dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 1720 MB in 2.00 seconds = 860.00 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 168 MB in 3.01 seconds = 55.81 MB/sec
<3> 55 is a good number
<6> So maybe just ext3 isn't as quick as NTFS for large file transfers?
<6> or osmething else is taking place..?
<3> something else
<3> ext3 is very fast, especially since its not fragmenting
<7> the Inappropriate ioctl for device makes me think it's a chipset issue
<3> yep
<6> I haven't done anything with kernel either
<6> so maybe it's just not setup for my board..
<3> I had that on my IDE drive cause I only had generic support loaded... once I loaded my specific driver I got UDMA and all was better
<6> I have another HD that won't detect on another IDE controller
<3> running now?
<6> yes
<3> yea, that could definately do it
<3> spamming the IO bus so the controller is paying more attention to it then what its doing
<6> so you think it's most likely I need to futz with the kernel drivers?
<6> for my controllers..
<1> Timing cached reads: 596 MB in 2.01 seconds = 296.52 MB/sec
<1> you guys think you have problems. hah.
<3> warjest`: get the other number
<1> Timing buffered disk reads: 84 MB in 3.04 seconds = 27.63 MB/sec
<3> the cached reads are bad
<6> You guys know anything about TV output as well? I've got an ATI Radeon 9200 and TV output is working but I have a few problems.. 1 It's similating 1600x1200 so doesn't display the whole desktop at once.. and 2 when I use something like mplayer or any media player for video it just displays a black box and no video on the TV but hte monitor shows the correct stuff
<6> If at all possible I'd like the TV to resize to be a full desktop w/o having to scroll (even if I have to enable TV and resize the monitor res at the same time)
<6> heh guess nobody uses TV out..
<3> ha
<8> mmmm tv out
<6> heh
<4> anyone got by peername.ip working in openladap ? iam seem to be having trouble with it ...
<9> so /etc/host stores names of ip's/aliase you already connected to on your machine right
<9> and /etc/resolv.conf stores the names of your nameservers, so they can look up an ip
<10> 02:57:48 up 11:55, 1 user, load average: 50.27, 43.92, 38.31 - http://pastebin.ca/84717 - any ideas?
<11> foozaki, you can open a console and try top -d 2 -i and also look at ps auxf to try to identify the process(s) that are causing the laod
<12> hello!
<13> hi
<12> i wonder if it is possible to bridge a wifi and ethernet interfaces... ?
<12> (under ubuntu dapper drake)
<13> I believe its possible with a bit of work depending on the wireless device, but I don't know specifics
<12> the wireless device is a D-link DWL-G520 and it is "recognized" under ubuntu
<12> i was able to bridge 2 ethernet interfaces... and thought it was mostly the same procedure with a wireless device but...
<13> not many people are around, I would suggest a quick google search and I think it should turn up what your looking for.. never actually done it myself though
<12> ok i will try a search on google ty stryka :)
<13> should turn it up, or atleast point you in the right direction.. sorry I couldnt help more
<12> omg... i should began by this... found a tutorial in my native language (french) :D
<13> :)
<13> google is the best thing that ever happened to the internet
<5> what is the best console torrent client for linux ? someone suggested rtorrent
<13> might try ctorrent
<13> er nm was discontinued :/
<13> http://www.rahul.net/dholmes/ctorrent/.. try both and see what you like best
<5> with RHEL, can you use a SuSe RPM ?
<5> rtorrent and ctorrent seem to be the best
<5> rtorrent rocks so far
<13> not sure about suse rpms w/ rh.. only issues I could imagine would be dependencies probably.. slack man myself
<5> forced RHEL on me .. i hate redhat :)
<5> i love debian ... new to it, coming from a freebsd background since 97
<13> I need to start catching up on rh I guess if I wanna land a job as a linux admin.. seems to be a requirement by *
<13> yep debian isnt bad nor is gentoo
<14> How do I tell sed to remove everything behind a certain character?
<15> im trying to install the yum rpm on my newly aquired server which has redhat7.2 on it, when i try to rpm -i the yum rpm it fails
<15> rpm-python >= 4.0.4 is needed by yum-1.0.3-0.1.rh7.rf
<15> rpm >= 4.0.4 is needed by yum-1.0.3-0.1.rh7.rf
<15> but, i do have those deps installed
<15> the exact version it requires
<15> so im a little puzzled
<15> anyone able to help me ?
<13> if they are fulfilled you could use --nodeps
<13> but 7.2?
<15> now i get a nasty error when i run yum update
<13> such as?
<15> trying to paste it to pastebin
<13> k
<15> but pastebin is slow
