Comments:
<0> Nice!
<0> thx now off to the windows part
<1> Don't you mean.. "winblows"?
<0> windoze
<1> Windoze?
<0> Take your pick
<2> ingvae: yeah basically / and home directories should have some reserve
<0> Thanks, I'm pretty new to trying to use Linux as my primary OS
<2> ingvae: if you are new.. i wouldnt expect you to even care about this
<0> Even though I hae been running a mail server on Debian for around 5 years
<0> 14 years of Solaris administration
<2> ingvae: ah..
<0> A completely different animal
<3> ingvae, /xxx eh
<0> LOL
<3> very important to have that shared accross OSs
<0> I always use /xxx /yyy and /zzz as temporary mount points and file names
<3> ingvae, ah... i use /mnt/foo*
<1> Now all you need to do is mount /xxx /yyy and /zzz on your "winblows" machine.
<1> I bet that'll prove to be fun.
<3> AutOPSY, why you gotta be hat'n Windows(TM) ya lunix looser?
<0> I work with 5 other admins... we each use different designations so we don't stomp on ne another
<1> Heh.
<4> lol
<1> I never said Winblows.
<0> seems like I need to rebuild a windows pc every 6 to 12 months for different reasons
<1> It's "winblows", what do you expect?
<0> Right now I can't right click anything on the menues
<3> AutOPSY, Windoesn't gets bitrot bad, yo
<5> but wait.... that's a security "feature"
<0> So as soon as I get my data off of the windows disks I'm reinstalling XP for "hopefully" the last time
<1> Windows is off-topic.
<0> Sure keeps coming up alot
<6> heh, windoze is good at coming up, puke
<0> I worked with a guy that claimed it was a steady platform....
<6> lOL hey |Jef| now that guy was on CRACK
<0> But he was standing on his PC at the time working on something overhead
<6> lol
<1> You should've been a comedian.
<0> An IBM tower would even support my weight
<6> heh, long hours of admin by yourself tends to do that, only computers to tell jokes to
<5> i bet my IBM RS/6000 would hold your weight :)
<0> I could park a car on a RS/6000
<5> i got a helipad painted on top of it
<7> i've seen some small rs/6000's
<7> like the little 604e based ones, looks exactly like an old ibm ps2 or smething
<0> I've only seen big ones
<8> I need some help, my laptop wont boot
<0> &&
<8> It got all slow and wouldn't do anything, so I rebooted, now it takes FOREVER to boot just to text mode and half of the services fail
<8> Sometimes it doesn't get past 'Hardware audio storage done'
<8> Any ideas?
<5> sounds like you HDD is on it's way out
<8> I was using it just fine untill today, its never made any noise or anything...
<0> Do you have any live CDs you can boot from?
<8> Yea, DSL, but it locks up on: "Finding partitions and creating /etc/fstab" or whatever it is
<0> That's disk partitions
<8> I really wanna get my website source off, after that I don'
<0> Your disk isn't writable
<2> ingvae: does his livecd deal with fedora's LVM ?
<8> t care if I have to format it
<8> Well, on my main computer DSL can interface with my FC4 hd just fine
<2> supertanker13: i do not know if you specially partitioned your desktop
<5> use cd1 of the fedora installation and boot into rescue mode
<8> I partitioned it like so:
<8> Mount point / ext3 ~7000 megs
<8> Mount point /home ext3 ~4000 megs
<8> Mount point /swap ~512 megs
<8> I did, but i don't know what to do after that :(
<2> supertanker13: thats the partitioning on your laptop?
<5> you need to chroot /mnt/sysimage once you have booted into rescue
<8> I did that, and yes that is almost what is on my laptop, give or take a few megs of size
<2> gazzerh: IF it mounts
<8> It mounted, but YES it recognized my usb disk in text mode.
<8> After I pull my important files should I just re-partition and re-install?
<5> s'pose it would be nice to find out why the installation got mangled though
<8> Heck yes I would love to know that....
<5> so are you in rescue then?
<5> take a look at your /etc/fstab
<8> no, i am copyging my important files then ill format it....
<8> stupid peice of ****, mysqldump won't work
<1> Your HDD is dying.
<1> What do you expect?
<9> anyone know how you can have nautilus keep control of its .thumbnail folders? i have around 30,000 thumbnails and it takes forever to delete that folder
<1> 30,000 thumbnails?
<1> Wow.
<8> yea it sounds like when my other laptop almost died, I reformated it, installed windoze (it still works though), but there are about 173 bad sectors
<1> I only have two, one on the right thumb.. one on the left.
<5> pr0n-nails
<9> AutOPSY: yeah everytime nautilus finds a picture, or font, or document, it makes a png file and puts it in the .thumbail
<2> mxktmdude: "keep control" ?
<8> So should I just format it now? I THINK I have everything offa it....
<5> take up a fair amount of room 30k of them
<8> Hehe
<9> hehe yeah, like maybe a way to clear the folder every now and then or have them deleted after not been used for so many days
<5> cron
<8> My windoze directory (yes I use micro****s occasionaly) had about 165,257 thumpnails at first (I am a web developer and work with images alot) and it took up a whole 8 megs!!!
<10> mxktmdude: use tmpwatch on them
<9> my laptop has 49573 thumbnails taking up 1 gig
<8> Last question, how do I use YUM offline to remove stuf?
<5> 8 - whole megabytes. woooooaaaah :P
<8> Yeah, and it took up like 0.0003 % of my avaliable disk space
<9> supertanker13: use yum -C remove <package>
<11> Anyone ever seen a way in KDE for the mouse cursor to indicate CPU state? Like I'd like to see if my CPU is at 100% just looking at my mouse cursor for example.
<8> IT keeps trying to fetch the dang repos
<8> -C doesn't help much
<11> If it's just one rpm you can try rpm -e packagename
<9> supertanker13: -C prevents it from getting the repos from what i understand
<8> What if I don't have the RPM, if I made it from source?
<11> ......
<11> How is yum supposed to remove something you compiled from source?
<8> -C still makes it try to go to repos I think....
<11> yum = rpm front end
<12> no
<12> yum != rpm front end
<8> Ah okay. So how DO I remove something compiled from source
<11> You can try going into the source where you compiled and doing make uninstall
<8> How?
<11> That's entirely up to the program you installed
<8> Ah
<11> opsec: Besides splitting hairs, how so?
<8> So I can't just delete all the program files?
<11> supertanker13: I suppose you could try?
<2> mxktmdude: i dont believe the gnome in fc4 provides a way to tune how long nautilus keeps thumbnails around
<9> fedorared: thanks tmpwatch looks like it will work
<8> Ah after having ONE system fail I am not too excited about playing around now....
<11> |Jef|: I haven't been able to install from network at work. First a http network install doesn't seem to be able to use a proxy, know how to get around that?
<9> i guess i should submit a feature wish to nautilis
<12> it's amazing how much bad info goes around on irc
<8> I tried to install XMMS and it says it can't find LibGNU or something, whatz going on?
<11> opsec: Amazing how many times you say stuff but never say why.
<11> opsec: WHY is yum not an RPM front end, besides splitting hairs.
<2> Khaytsus: nope.. i dont have a proxy to deal with so i have never looked that up
<8> I sense a flamewar....
<2> mxktmdude: this is something you should take up with gnome upstream
<8> and lastly, any modem driverss for a toshiba software modem AMR?
<3> anybody know how to get Gnome to stop bitching about enabling SlowKeys when shift's held down too long? i only run into when using gimp selections
<11> |Jef|: Okay, second question.. I downloaded an entire tree from a mirror list to a local fc3 box, but it barfs on repomd.xml missing, which I don't see on any of the mirror sites.
<2> mxktmdude: its definitely something which should be considered for at least a hidden gconf key
<2> Khaytsus: no idea
<3> gnome-keyboard-properties doesn't have a 'shutup forever' option
<11> :-/
<2> Khaytsus: i havent downloaded the "entire" tree
<8> Anything about the modem drivers?
<9> |Jef|: im surprised no one has found this an issue as 1 gig of useless data is something that should be thought about
<11> |Jef|: I was grabbing what the network install is trying to reach locally to a server it can reach..
<2> mxktmdude: i turn off the thumbnailing
<8> Oh, and how could I set my Fedora desktop up so that I can use it to boot others off of it like a server?
<11> opsec: Still nothing on why yum isn't an rpm front end?
<13> can i suspend a session in vnc?
<2> mxktmdude: its disturbing to see thumbnails of porn show up when im browsing through my home directory
