<0> not being pretentious... but i thought the entire thing was built on unix
<0> i havent used a mac since 5th grade, all i know is that his disk isnt corrupt
<1> n3ptne it has a bsdish kernel but the majority of the userspace stuff is completely different.
<0> ah
<1> for example, they dont use elf binaries
<1> so you cant ldd something
<1> you have to run some tool that begins with an o
<0> i ahvent used unix in too long, i dont have the first idea how to help him
<1> does it have a disklabel/fdisk command
<1> look at the drive and ensure there is a mountable partition with a recognized filesystem type on it
<0> i dunno if there is, its on his system in his house, all i know is he unchecked some box that gave him permission to use the drive
<0> all he can do is see the files
<2> i don't see a d3 announcement
<3> how does one check if glibc has been compiled with nptl support ?
<0> i hope they make the blizz pvp better than d2
<0> but all that aside... i dont see how anyone is going to have any time to play diablo with spore coming out soon
<2> 2008 is pretty far away still
<2> but i still don't see a diablo 3 announcement
<0> not far away enough to get bored with spore
<4> actually forget rosanne barr, I've refined the message a little bit here is the result..
<4> * 1920 - Telecommunications: first transatlantic two-way radio
<4> broadcast.
<4> * 1984 - Salyut 7 Cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya becomes the first
<4> woman to perform a space walk.
<4> unfortunately this fits as well...
<4> * 1944 - World War II: Operation Spring - One of the bloodiest days
<4> for Canadians during the war: 18,444 casualties, including 5,021
<4> killed.
<4> July 25th
<3> I just installed Linux on my other PC, but don't know how to configure the internet connection. I connect to the internet in windows through LAN using a static IP and workgroup configuration. I entered the IP address and related info using YaST2 but how and where to specify workgroup and computer name?
<3> Guys
<3> Im editing a file with vi command
<3> and i dont know how to get outta file with Saving it!
<5> you want to save and exit?
<3> yes
<5> hit your esc key, then ZZ
<5> or hit escape, then :x
<3> wont :wq to save quit ?
<5> :x is shorthand for :wq
<3> wonderful
<5> lemme find you a vi tutorial
<3> Alright :)
<3> bah, im at uni
<3> and they block everything :(
<5> http://216.210.111.172/learnvi.tar.gz
<3> is there any url?
<3> thank you
<5> just work your way through the tutorials.. teaches some pretty advanced stuff as well as the basics
<3> thank you again Figz
<5> np
<3> I heard vimtutor or whatevre its called is a great tut too
<3> Figz: by any chance you have good knowledge of voip
<3> I was backing up my hard drive to a file called "hddback" and then I realized that I need to retrieve one file from "hddback", is there a search engine to search for the file because I forgot where I put it inside that backup file's directory.
<3> Any suggestions please?
<6> find (1) - walk a file hierarchy
<3> should I like mount -o loop /path/to/hddback /mnt/hdback ?
<3> I was actually wondering if there is a backup program that does a search for the missing file I was trying to retrieve
<3> it was a compacted one single file backup
<3> some 80,000 files were squeezed into one
<3> now, I forgot where the one file resides
<7> whats that command I use to see the last few lines of a file.. instead of cat on the whole thing?
<6> tail
<7> ah!
<7> i kept trying to use "last"
<7> thanks!
<6> no problem
<3> Does anyone here use memcached?
<8> hi
<8> can anybody help me with this symbian sdk: http://www.koeniglich.de/sdk2unix/symbian_sdk_on_unix.html?
<3> Anyone here familiar with manually changing the ssl certificate with a server that has plesk?
<3> ? :)
<9> I think someone else has gained access to my e-mail. Where on the server is the log telling me who has accessed my POP3 mail and when?
<9> My MTA is exim.
<10> pop3 is not handled by MTA
<10> it is handled by a pop3-daemon
<10> sockstat -4 | grep :110
<10> and you should get the name of it
<1> find /var/log | xargs grep pop
<5> may also go into maillog
<10> or jus:t grep -rHn 'pop' /var/log
<10> or grep -rHni 'pop' /var/log
<5> personally I'd access the pop3 daemon and then ls -ltr /var/log
<9> dannyb: oh, that's cppop
<3> I have a jsp page print out "top -b -n 1" so I can see the CPU usage... yet, for some reason, every time I do it, I get "Cpu(s): 4.2% us", even though if I just do "top -d1" I see that number change... any reason why I'd get that hard coded "4.2" in there?
<3> thats wierd
<10> jez: then youl probably find the log named "cppop" in /var/log
<10> or by googling after "cppop logfile [optinal OS-name here]"
<4> 14. "Phoney Phranchise" (3:38), heh del tha funky homosapien rocks :P
<4> I gotta go buy an album of his..
<4> I like his style
<4> ohhh an accident just happend outside ...
<4> 3 roads down hrmm
<9> well im looking in /var/log/maillog
<9> it doesn't tell me info on when mail was deleted
<4> jez: in telecommunications there is really no way to prove or disprove an email was sent or not, it may arrive it may not, on the telephone you may be speaking to someone you know or you may not even though it sounds like them, hell even when talking face to face you cannot be sure
<9> erm, no, but you can log when an app has been told to delete it :-\
<4> don't let that discourage you though, the message always goes through to the intended recpipient one way or another
<1> jez you can probably adjust the settings on your pop3 daemon to log that stuff
<9> nope. it's cppop :-)
<1> im an imap sorta guy so ive never ran a pop daemon (at least not in the past 8 years), so im not familliar with cppop :)
<1> but i find it hard to beleive that you cant increase the logging vebrosity
<1> try turning on "debug" or something
<11> is anycast limited to only ipv6 networks ?
<4> phus: afaik, it works on ipv4 as well, take the F root server for example, I heard it uses anycasting to spread itself to computers all over the world
<4> however perhaps I'm misinterpreting the misunderstanding of some nanog folks
<4> one good way is to research the nanog archives on anycasting
<11> yeah I would ask in #nanog but they are pretty much useless
<11> hehe thanks pbug
<9> imap. hurm
<9> ive been curious about this, tell me
<9> if you rely on your server to hold all your email, what happens if/when somebody hacks it and deletes your mail?
<3> Im still going "wtf" about what Theo is complaining about donations when he hasnt even created a registered charity
<1> jez not to sound cliche, but
<1> restore from backups
<1> =)
<4> mdaher: don't worry about theo, the house is paid off what more would he want?
<5> pbug, enough money for a hackathon a year
<4> oh yeah that :P
<4> well my money is coming in this year even though the songs aren't really in my taste anymore
<12> Hmm I donated a week back, but they did not debit my CC yet
<3> now if he was a registered charity maybe people would donate
<3> why is he complaining?
<5> mdaher, maybe, but he has a long list of reasons why he hasn't incorporated
<5> and you have to incorporate to become a registered non profit
<5> as it is, he DOES operate openbsd as a charity
<5> it's just not a tax free registered non profit
<5> ie, you don't get a tax write-off by donating to openbsd
<5> but it doesn't cost the donator anything more, either
<3> well, I see what you mean
<1> he really should
<1> i wonder how that stuff works in canada
<5> like I said, there are a bunch of reasons
<1> or if its even worth it
<5> it's not designed for a small org like openbsd
<1> can you get a US writeoff for donating to a foreign charity?
<5> it's a major paperwork h***le, and puts big strings on what you can do with the money
<3> you have a good point figz
<3> can some one help me on a very basic shell script
<5> anyway.. if enough people donate, revenue canada will force him to incorporate
<5> ie, if he puts in a six figure tax return that's all "gifts" at some point.. that would surely raise alarm bells in the govt
<4> it's funny when you do your own thing in canada I noticed the people will get pretty nasty on you even though you aren't on welfare, just my observation, and then in germany when you are on welfare the people get downright nasty.. I guess they have a good reason..
<3> figz could you give it a shot? if its not too much asking
<5> at that point, one could suffer some paperwork.. even hire a part time accountant
<5> (which is pretty much a necessity anyway.. since if you're running a registered non profit, the govt wants someone with some distance handling the books)
<4> eww stockwell day is responsible for csis, phear
<4> this!? you couldn't C this?! - one of my favourite quote from oceans 12
<5> http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20060330.htm <- don't usually like cringely
<11> he's an interesting fellow pretty good visionary for the most part
<5> I'd say he's a decent historian, but an absolutely worthless visionary.
