<0> o
<1> Are the RHEL updates distinct branches or are they stepping points on the same branch? Aka, if I run up2date on RHEL 4.0 U1 am I going to get boosted to RHEL 4.0 U3++ or just a patched version of RHEL 4.0 U1?
<2> anyone successfully pull off a quad screen with 1 dualhead nvidia card and 1 dualhead ati card?
<3> I pulled my colo box today and found none of my p***words were working. Other than checking /var/log/messages and .bash_history, where else can I look for footprints of a hacker?
<2> hm.... good question, you have a router?
<2> hardware
<4> rkhunter
<4> chkrootkit
<3> I ran chkrootkit
<3> no router
<4> /var/log/wtmp iirc
<4> may hold some clues
<5> Can anyone recommend a windows environment that doesn't use so much system resources?
<3> cool, thanks scorbutus
<6> windows3.1 isn't very resource intensive
<5> warjest: no, I mean for linux
<5> how do you say
<5> a gui
<6> if you're saying "doesn't use so much" you must be comparing it to something... what were you comparing it to ?
<5> xwindows
<2> fluxbox
<5> warjest: the one in my minds eye that will not take a minute to load firefox
<5> DrMitch: thanks
<6> are you using xwindows or x.org ?
<5> warjest: I have no idea
<5> I think I'm using Gnome
<5> if that makes any sense
<2> gnome is pretty resource un-intensive
<2> but fluxbox is AWESOMELY un-intensive
<5> hmm
<2> xfce too
<7> So is bash
<5> I have a PIII 866mhz with 128 megs of ram
<7> warjest: there is no such thing as xwindows
<2> well i don't think a newbie should jump right into CLI only
<7> there are xfree86 and xorg
<8> X
<7> yes, X is the protocol
<5> ok, I think it might be too much of a h***le to figure out how to install a new windows manager, can anyone tell me how to tell my computer to boot straight to a command prompt?
<2> mmmmm. mayonnaise sandwiches
<8> kesnoin: if it's that much of a h***le you need to learn your package management tools or use a distro with package management tools
<5> I have been trying to avoid managing my package recently, ever since I slept with a whore in prague I've been kind of itchy
<8> anyhow, not loading X is usually eitheir changing your default runlevel (/etc/inittab) or modifying your boot scripts (possibly with some distro-specific method)
<5> Coweater: thanks
<3> kes, for booting to command, set to runlevel 3
<3> http://www.lula.org/meetings/2001-10/notes.html
<7> <i>possibly with some distro-specific method</i> Thank you Debian
<6> Qwell: brain fart, thanks :)
<9> how do I invoke a text editor from the shell?
<7> by typing its name
<9> heh, is there one you could recommend that would have come installed with ubuntu?
<8> nano
<7> vi, nano, emacs, joe, ed
<7> pick one
<9> thanks
<10> i wouldnt depend on vi till ya spend some time learning it though
<10> its not easy for soembody whos just getting their feet wet in linux
<10> though once you learn vi really well, youll hate everything else
<10> >:)
<9> ok, so how the hell do I "change my runnlevel to 3" in /etc/inittab? Please don't say "man" because I can't figure that out
<11> kesnoil: change the initdefault line
<11> that wont do it actively tho, only on reboot
<8> hmm, if he's running ubuntu he didn't want to change the runlevel, or do they do that differently from debian?
<11> ?
<8> X isn't on a seperate run level in debian
<11> so?
<8> so he won't achieve anything by changing his runlevel
<2> ahhhh, tri-screen is soooo ***y
<11> 4 is better
<11> bbl
<2> yea, but not when you get a crash because X won't start :-(
<11> gotta go get this motherboard
<2> what it has 4 heads onboard?
<2> hmmm....maybe i could do tv out as my fourth
<11> haha
<11> awesome
<7> 19:22 < Dr-Linux> Qwell[]: no that was stolen by two guys having guns on my head
<7> Note to self: Do not move to pakistan
<11> get a gigabit link between 2 machines and use it as a second screen
<11> whats that new thing in xorg that allows you to make 1 gigantor screen accross many monitors, in a monitor wall
<12> hi
<12> any of you guys ever implemented radius authentication to external radius server for usual logins on linux boxes?
<13> Hi there. I have a huge text file (2+gb), and I need the first xx lines of the file cut. Whats the best way to go about this?
<11> head
<11> head -n XX file
<13> That won't alter the file though..i need those XX lines removed from the file
<14> hrm
<15> use tail, redirect to a temp file, overwrite other file with temp file
<11> or:
<11> sed -n -i -e '1,xxp'
<13> thanks
<16> anyone have a clue how to change the name of a bluetooth device at my pc?
<16> I found it!:)
<16> /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf <-
<2> anyone know how to get fbsetbg to do both tiled AND random? fbsetbg -r ~/.backgrounds -t gives an error as does -t -r dir and -r -t dir
<2> is there a /proc file that says how much ram is on my video card?
<17> /var/log/X.log
<18> graz: no, /proc/!
<2> var works, thanks
<18> oh sure, take his side
<2> hehe
<2> wow, big mistake to spray paint in the basement
<2> i'm high as a kite
<2> gotta go outside for a while
<17> huff it!
<17> do it!
<17> do it now!
<19> as long as it's epoxy based paint and there is no ventilation all will be fine.
<19> :-/
<20> what program rotates the logs ? for some reason my logs aren't getting renamed and gz'd .. 1.6GB of logs
<2> logroate
<2> i think
<20> ya but where is it usually run from ?
<2> good quesion, i THINK it's /etc/rc.d
<2> service
<2> wait, i lied, it's a cron job
<20> vsftp had a logrotate entry that was ****ing up logrotate.. all fixed :)
<20> thc
<2> hmm...my logs are 89 megs, i wonder if my logroate is working
<21> hem
<22> hey folks
<22> i need some helllllp with wireless in linux
<11> ok
<18> Idle`: get your phone?
<11> Qwell: no
<11> nothing updated on usps
<11> oh well, what can you expect from 3$ 'express'
<22> we seem to have connected properly, put in all the credentials, the card is recognized, and its "connected" but it says "local IP: unavailable", we've tried to connect to several routers
<11> jengofett: stop using the gui
<11> its impossible to diagnose anything with them
<11> iwconfig and ifconfig are your friend
<22> we didnt use kwifi manager at first
<22> how do i acess them? were on fedora core 4 =P
<11> dont use it now either
<22> and i should say were total linux noobs. but were reaaalll tech savvy
<11> windows savvy
<11> big difference
<11> ifconfig
<11> open yourself a console
<22> and dos =P and even mac! k... how do we do that?
<11> Qwell: I dont think USPS tracks the shipments once it reaches canada
<11> jengofett: iwconfig
<11> what does your card say
<18> hell, USPS doesn't track shipments in the US :p
<11> Qwell: they do, its just only updated at night
<22> hmm, how do we open a console?
<11> jengofett: ...
<11> ctrl-alt-f1 usually gets you a full console
<11> if your in X, open up a terminal
<18> this should be good
