<jez> I'm trying to use a SCSI tape drive from linux; what's its device name likely to be? /dev/sd?
<Coweater> st#
<jez> how do i know which #
<Coweater> grep your dmesg
<jez> don't see any evidence of a tape drive
<Taimur-> back
<riznix> if i have a module that isn't on the machine for a network card, do i have to rebuild the kernel?
<inv_Arp> riznix: no.. just load the module
<pb24ss> you'll probably need to compile it under the kernel version you'll be using it with, then install it, then run depmod -a and then load it
<riznix> i have one via-rhine module on the slackware 10.1 machine with a 2.4.26 kernel, and im trying to get it on the other slackware 9.0 machine
<riznix> i have an error when mounting the floppy /dev/fd0 device..
<riznix> mount -t ext3 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
<riznix> mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
<riznix> although it shows in /etc/fstba
<deww> is your floppy actually using ext3?
<deww> btw, are you sure your slackware 9 machine doesn't have the module for the nic already?
<Wamtys> anyone could teach me how to unzip a .zip file using gzip?
<deww> you need unzip, from infozip
<Wamtys> unzip option is disabled
<deww> gzip doesn't handle .zip files
<deww> you literally need something called "unzip"
<Wamtys> -bash: unzip: command not found
<Wamtys> [gbx@serv-1-3-246 cy]$ unzip
<Wamtys> unzip
<Wamtys> -bash: unzip: command not found
<Wamtys> [gbx@serv-1-3-246 cy]$
<deww> yes, it needs to be installed.
<Wamtys> is there any options left?
<Wamtys> other than unzip?
<Wamtys> maybe pkunzip?
<deww> do you own the box?
<Wamtys> yes
<deww> why not install it? :d
<korozion> then install unzip :|
<Idle`> pssh, stuffit expander!
<deww> you can probably grab this ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/UNIX/LINUX/unz551x-glibc.tar.gz
<awol> no one thinks to ask what distro he's running? so ya can then just say "apt-get install unzip"? or maybe yum install unzip? or woteva?
<Idle`> I just came in and saw someone was trying to decompress something
<Idle`> of course, there is no stuffit for linux, :D
<awol> spitting easy answers out is easy... it takes intelligence to know what the real question is....
<Idle`> how about spitting out random garbage (like me) ?
<awol> we have LinuxHOW2 for that....
<awol> or joel....
<Idle`> na
<LinuxHOW2> I'd be afraid of the relationship between an organism and its only 2 out of a baby that has 2 interfaces that are connected to it.
<Idle`> joel just spits out 'google.com'
<Idle`> at least joel is right, albiet not helpful in a help channel
<Wamtys> awol: i think its a server distro
<Wamtys> maybe not.. maybe just serv
<Idle`> Wamtys: what distro...
<Idle`> everything is a server, AND desktop distro. so thats not much help
<Wamtys> from my host
<Wamtys> serv-1-3-246 cy]
<Idle`> thats your server name
<Idle`> cat /etc/*rel*
<Idle`> OR:
<Idle`> cat /etc/*ers*
<bougyman> Idle`: knoppix is a server distro?
<bougyman> :p
<Idle`> bougyman: a very good one, as its much harder to hack, as its a simple reboot and its restored ;)
<Idle`> of course, that would require some hacking... but yea
<graz> morn
<korozion> mornin graz
<Idle`> gnite korozion
<korozion> :P
<Idle`> TKO!
<graz> game 7 tonight?
<korozion> indeed
<korozion> I think I'll get hammered and watch the game
<graz> whens gametime, 7PM est?
<korozion> that's a good question. Most likely
<jez> How can I find out which driver I need to use to operate my Tandberg SDLT320 tape drive?
<warjest> jez: have you googled it ?
<jez> yes
<jez> just a load of crappy posts about people's specific problems
<jez> and windows drivers
<Idle`> graz: its time to LOSE
<inv_Arp> how mv more than one file again..? mv {file1,file2} /dest right.... mv: cannot stat `{': No such file or directory etc...
<Idle`> ...
<Idle`> mv file1 file2 file3 dest
<inv_Arp> nvm i was putting spaces... oh yea... forgo you dont need brackets
<Wamtys> I'm having a problem with my network on my laptop. I think my eth0 might be set as IPv6. I'm wondering how to change it to IPv4.
<Idle`> Wamtys: uh
<Idle`> you dont set what version, they both run at once
<Wamtys> btw, which linux version will PS3 have?
<Idle`> it wont
<Wamtys> ?
<Idle`> itll be a special Sony proprietary version
<Idle`> if anything
<Idle`> 99% chance it wont run linux
<Idle`> well, WILL run linux with some hacking, but not as it ships
<Joe630> where can i find the ldap schemas that pam expects?
<Joe630> and is that the right way to ask that question?
<Wamtys> would I just run ifconfig eth0 netmask addr 192.168.0.99 ?
<Wamtys> in order to to ***ign a address?
<Idle`> that wont work
<Joe630> you need to actually put a netmask in there
<Idle`> ifconfig eth0 <ip>
<Idle`> that usually works, or you can set a netmask if you want, but generally you dont need to
<OllieD> does anyone use tlswrap
<Joe630> idle, doesnt ifconfig ***ign netmasks based on pre-CIDR rules?
<Idle`> yes, and?
<Joe630> so don't you need to ***ign a netmask
<Idle`> whats your netmask for 192.168.0.99
<Joe630> because pre CIDR netmasks are dumb
<Idle`> uh...
<Joe630> 255.255.0.0
<Joe630> what is it for 10.0.0.1?
<Idle`> are you sure?
<Joe630> 255.0.0.0
<Idle`> yes
<Joe630> so you need to ***ign a netmask and a bcast
<Idle`> 192.168.0.X is 255.255.255.0
<Joe630> oh right
<Joe630> 192.168 is the /24
<Joe630> whats the /16?
<Idle`> 99% of the time, thats right
<Joe630> 172 something
<Idle`> 172.{16-32}.X.X
<Joe630> which RFC is that?
<Idle`> no idea
<cls> n0 J00 r wr4ang idol!!
<Idle`> kekekeke!
<cls> its so ****in hawt
<Idle`> thats why I have a sunroof
<cls> i should carry my sign out by the road
<cls> but its hot, and im lazy
<spart> anyone know what the difference is between htp***wd and htp***wd2 ?
<warjest> htp***wd2 probably goes with apache2
<planet_> What is the keyboard sequence for doing command completion from the history?
<korozion> tab
<korozion> XD
<planet_> nah
<planet_> I've seen it where you can actually pull commands you have typed from the history file with a keyboard shortcut
<planet_> like is I type "for name in `ls` do du -sh $name; done" I could type for and hit something and it woudl complete it
<planet_> and I'm not talking about the up and down arrow stuff
<planet_> it was something cool
<planet_> something like CTRL-R
<planet_> I'm using bash
<planet_> hard eh
<pb24ss> yes. ctrl r
<planet_> nah
<planet_> its better then that
<Idle`> I've seen that before
<spart> warwarj make sense (the htp***wd2 thing)
<planet_> any idea on how to do it?
<planet_> Its one of those cool tricks that when you see it, you're like man I'm going to remember that.
