Comments:

<0> i'm not joking :)
<1> ... i kinda have a problem setting up a RAID 1 array..
<2> abrotman, why cant thefscking software prevent it form beeping!??!
<0> keherman: lsmod | grep pc
<3> keherman: Unload that module
<0> keherman: you might be able to `modprobe -r pcspkr` or whatever it is
<4> yep thanks guys :)
<2> abrotman, oh pcspkr!!!
<1> anybody? a cry for help?
<2> abrotman, you're a genius!!!!
<0> keherman: that's what they say ...
<0> !beer dvs



<0> keherman: enjoy
<0> keherman: btw .. you might want
<0> !blacklist
<5> blacklist is, like, Sarge installs the Hotplug and Discover packages to help with hardware module loading - which can often load undesirable modules. Add 'skip foo' to /etc/discover.conf and 'foo' to /etc/hotplug/blacklist to prevent them from loading. Don't forget to remove it from /etc/modules (if present). in etch and sid, modules should be blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
<2> abrotman, but how do i tell the kernel not to load the module on boot?
<0> keherman: see the blacklist thing? :)
<2> blacklist?
<0> !tell keherman about blacklist
<4> hmm Dewi it does not matter that the tutorial was written for a 2.4 kernel?
<6> Azar: nope iptables is pretty much the same.
<4> well I guess iptables did not changed from 2.4 to 2.6
<4> cool
<6> Azar: what kind of firewall do you want ?
<0> just stay away from the ipchains tutorials :)
<4> zignig: just iptables
<6> Azar: most people don't really need anything that complicated.
<7> Azar: use shorewall
<4> zignig: I have shorewall, too complicated for me
<4> I read the howto and got dizzy, could not understand anything there
<8> Azar, try firestarter. apt-get install firestarter
<4> iptables is more clearly explained for my newbiness
<7> reekon: yup
<4> reekon ok
<9> thhe thing about iptables is that it's just a shell script using essentially one command
<4> Guerin that why I understand it better
<6> Azar: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/A_basic_firewall_configuration_suitable_for_a_gateway/nat
<6> Azar: basic and easy to understand.
<0> i realized the other day that the readme in the doc dir lists about two dozen frontend thingies for iptables
<4> zignig: I am not having a network.... just a simple standalone PC
<6> Azar: just take out the nat rules and the internal interface then.
<10> I tried to use dpkg to install a package, which failed due to dependancies, but now when I run apt-get it says I have unmet dependancies... How can that be when the original package didn't even install?
<4> ok thanks :)
<11> Azar: rusty, who wrote that HOWTO, wrote iptables and netfilter.org is the project's home on the web. So the 2.4/2.6 thing should not be an issue.
<11> Azar: well he started iptables anyway
<8> can't wow first name basis
<8> wow.
<0> ipso: apt-get -f install
<4> Dewi, I really like the way he wrote that... really clear and easy for a newbie
<10> abrotman: I tried that, but then it wants to install new kernel's and all kinds of other stuff... I did a apt-get remove and it seemed to clean things up
<10> weird.
<0> ipso: no . that makes sense
<10> abrotman: not really, since when did dpkg -r <package> it says its not installed
<0> ipso: yes .. but it was set to be installed
<10> yet: apt-get remove <package> uninstalled it...
<10> seems weird to me..
<12> what port is H.323 on?
<0> odla: we need a nice detailed explaination of how a whale gets dehydrated
<9> Azar: http://feayn.org/~lewis/iptables.txt
<9> Azar: that is my actual iptables script - that one text file is my firewall.
<13> abrotman: ah..when it gets beached?
<0> no
<14> how to create a torrent file with bittornado?
<9> Azar: you can probably learn a lot from the comments
<13> wintalker: you can't
<9> wintalker: btmakemetafile
<9> odla: yes, you ****ing can.
<15> how does one use /msg dpkg to search for all available versions of a particular package?
<13> Guerin: really? some jerks told me do d/l azureus because you can't make a torrent file with bittornado



<13> the jerks weren't #d
<9> odla: they're ****tards, as most azureus users are.
<13> Guerin: i figured you must be able to with bittornado
<14> Guerin, where i can find this soft?
<9> odla: bittornado is extensions on the original reference client.
<9> wintalker: in /usr/bin
<14> Guerin, thanks
<9> it stands to reason that the original reference client should be able to do everything, right?
<13> you'd think
<13> so btmakemetafile comes with bittornado?
<9> /usr/bin/btmakemetafile.bittornado
<9> btmake<tab>
<4> Guerin, thanks I feel so honored wow
<9> well
<9> it's not really spoonfeeding, since your system is almost certainly differently configured to mine
<2> abrotman, im in love with you -- that worked great!!
<9> and if you want to use that, you'll need to hack on it
<9> keherman: join the abrotman fanclub. Current membership: 0!
<4> .. in any case, so many details.. that is outright spoonfeeding
<0> keherman: good for you
<0> Guerin: my mom won't even join
<6> Guerin: it's actually 3i
<6> 3 imaginary friends.
<6> abrotman: :P
<4> I was also thinking to start learning a bit of bash scripting so is a double treat
<9> zignig: what happens if abrotman's fan club membership of 3i suddenly quadruples?
<0> Guerin: i take more medication :)
<0> which .. at this point .. would be an increase from zero
<9> heh
<6> Guerin: ph33r the abrotman !
<9> Azar: i didn't write this, mind - i got most of it from jm_, who probably got it from somewhere else
<16> can you run X on a headless server, with no GFX card, and forword it to another machine?
<9> sunfish: you can run x clients on a remote x server
<4> Guerin is ok I really needed to look at some sample , for general idea
<0> !moo
<5> mooooooo! I am cow, hear me moo, I weigh twice as much as you. I'm a cow, eating gr***, methane gas comes out my ***. I'm a cow, you are too; join us all! type apt-get moo.
<9> sunfish: so I can run firefox on a headless machine, and have it display on another machine with a video card and monitor
<16> right, but what if it has no gfx card, what does the processing?
<0> you're not displaying it on the server
<17> hahahaha, thats great, abrotman
<9> sunfish: none of the graphical processing is done by the host - it's all done by the computer running the x server
<16> i see
<16> thanks guerin
<4> yep much nicer to have a scriptfile for it with comments than just plain settings..
<11> abrotman: whoa
<0> Dewi: ?
<9> hm, think I'll go watch the ACN
<11> abrotman: apt/dpkg have always seemed erotic, but now... 10 times more so
<9> Dewi: dpkg and apt are the collective unconscious of #debian
<0> Dewi: aptitude moo .. then -v then -vv then -vvv then -vvvv -vvvvv -vvvvvv etc
<9> Dewi: so that's hardly a surprise
<4> thanks a lot everyone and have a good day :)
<6> bleh!
<2> is there any way to set the default application that opens a file type across all/most desktops? I got KDE, Gnome, and XFCE to deal with here :-(
<0> depends on the type of application
<2> abrotman, well i want this software ins /usr/bin/stata to open a .dta file
<0> wtf is stata ?
<2> abrotman, in Gnome, i can right click the file and tell it what to do -- or set it prermanently for my user -- i need to do something like this for everyone
<2> abrotman, some statistical software -- not free
<0> oh
<2> :-)
<9> keherman: add it to global mime config
<0> see . now there can be a Guerin fan club
<9> might be /etc/mime.types or something
<2> lo,l but you didnt tell me where this file is located :-)
<18> sup all
<9> you should read up on it because I'm making things up now
<2> lol -- you read my mind??!?!
<18> how do i know if my current ram chips is ECC ones or nop ??!!!!
<9> yes ... I must rest noww. My powers are drained, and only tea and football can replenish them.
