<0> is there any way to set a default screen that all apps should load on? I'm running a multi head setup with a tv as a second monitor for mythtv. Often apps load on the tv screen and I don't want them to.
<1> Hi. I got an ext2 FS here with a bad superblock. How can I mount it using one of the backup blocks?
<2> man mount
<0> thanks y'all
<3> anyone know how to use modprobe
<4> modprobe foo
<5> nah. it's modprobe bar
<3> i installed a wireless card using ndiswrapper
<3> and that went fine but now i need to know how to use it
<4> ananke: right, sorry.
<5> Jack_S : how to use what?
<3> my wireless card
<3> to connect to the internet
<5> well, did you read the instructions to ndiswrapper?
<3> no...
<3> ok ill go read those
<5> gee, you'd figure that this would be a step #1 on your list
<6> lol
<4> eh, nothing wrong with just diving right in I say. that's how I go about things mostly. then go for the documentation or whatever when I get stuck.
<3> ... this manual is over a hundred pages long
<3> i got the driver installed with ndiswrapper
<3> that was fairly easy
<3> and it looks like the driver is working
<3> i just need to know how to use the card now that its installed
<7> Hi. Is there out there a quick-and-dirty script to turn video files into a DVD? there was a divx2dvd.pl on freshmeat but the project died and the site no longer exists, maybe somebody here has info on that...
<6> Jimmymaniac: tovid
<7> Yamabushi: looking for it...
<6> http://download.berlios.de/tovid/tovid-0.25.tar.gz
<7> thanks :)
<6> np
<6> enjoy
<7> too many clients, guess i'll have to try again in a sec :)
<7> found the freshmeat entry, nice! :)
<7> and it has a .deb, nicer even :)
<8> Is anyone here an expert on ifplugd?
<9> I want to "cat file1 file2 file3 > bigfile.txt", except that I want it to skip the first line of each file. is there an easy way?
<10> IdahoEv: sed -n '1!p' filename > bigfile; sed -n '1!p' filename2 >> bigfile; sed -n '1!p' filename3 >> bigfile
<9> sweet, thanks
<10> IdahoEv: http://www.student.northpark.edu/pemente/sed/sed1line.txt
<9> i was just about to do it with "tail --lines +2 file1 >> bigfile", one at a time
<11> anybody ever use ubuntu to run a file server?
<11> i was thinking of using ubuntu instead of red hat....not sure if thats a good way to go, wanted to see if anybody has done that before
<9> i'd use debian instead of ubuntu
<9> but i haven't used ubuntu before, so i'm probably not the right person to ask
<11> hrmm...
<11> ubuntu is debian just with a graphical interface
<9> but I do maintain a whole bunch of debian servers, and i definitely prefer the deb package system (which ubuntu uses) over redhat for easy maintenance
<2> I'd use gentoo instead of both debian and ubuntu.. but that's me.. ;)
<9> And the postdoc I work with won't use anything but SuSE, go figure.
<9> but anyhow, logging in to all my clients servers and issuing "apt-get update" periodically has been very easy and reliable, so I'm quite happy.
<11> i was also thinking about it in a sense of maintenance
<11> the less work for me the better....you know...
<9> that's been my primary concern. I stay on the stable tree, and so I just run one command per week or so to keep the boxen up to date with security releases.
<12> Holy crap. less understands html.
<11> i've tried debian before but never could get it in the graphical mode after updating gnome... so i switched to ubuntu
<12> I did not expect the file I was reading to be parsed and formatted...
<6> less has never done that to me..
<12> It just did on my system
<12> It even puts the links in as footnotes.
<6> do me a favor... run alias and see if ls is linked to anything
<12> ls or less?
<6> sorry. less
<7> quick question: with mplayer, transcode and all that array of tools installed, what's the quickest, simplest way to split a mp3 file into two by a given time, like "split it on two at 2 minutes 54 seconds" or something like that?
<13> i know this isnt the best question for here, but its a help channel, so i figured: - whats some p2p programs available for linux?
<2> boxboy: dc and bittorrent at least
<12> Yamabushi: No, no alias
<6> ok. thanks.
<11> this is out of the subject but does anybody know of any good books on how to set up a web server....?
<10> prec: what does the "I" do?
<10> oops
<7> Found a program for doing that on the net, mp3splt.sourceforge.net, it does the splitting without decoding the file at all which is good (and i suppose should be fast)
<7> and mp3wrap.sourceforge.net does the inverse, joins files into one
<14> Is there a shell that can deal with previous output? I want to do something like this `do (foreach line $x in files.txt sh action $x) while "output by lines has more than 50% similar words"
<15> konrad you could script the bash prompt..
<15> but ur gone already
<7> yanger: hate when that happens :)
<16> Can anyone recommend software?
<16> I'm looking for a server-based file storage app that has a web front end
<16> forour marketing guys - so they can download marketing materials
<17> hi
<7> wakko: i'd say, go to freshmeat.net and look around for a while
<7> obscuresoul: hi
<16> ok - still there after 3 hours ;)
<17> i've downloaded some files named "disk.01", "disk.02", etc. how can i work with this files? i mean, extract the information inside of them, or somewhat...
<16> hard to find a good one
<7> ah, then i'm not really sure :)
<17> Jimmymaniac :)
<7> obscuresoul: do "file disk.01" and whatever to find what are these from, and when you find the tool used to create them use it. If not, google around for a while. I dunno what could these be
<7> obscuresoul: usually the very first file is the one to check
<17> Jimmymaniac ok thank you :)
<15> wakko, server based file storage? how big are the files?
<16> not too big - probably 50MB at the very largest
<16> but 10MB is more the average
<15> wakko, you could manage with some CMS with file storing abilities ... but then, also depends if it's intranet or internet... as internet - there's limits when uploading large files via cms
<16> internet
<16> but could be intranet through VPN if we wanted
<15> most CMSes have some sort of file storing module - which with a editable front-end, could be useful ....
<15> if all else fails, ftp with a http front-end? :P
<16> heh - possible
<17> Jimmymaniac i did "file disk.01" and the output was "linux kernel" :o
<10> what is the default addy of eth0? 192.10.10.1 ?
<18> gnubien, It doesn't get a default address.
<19> why would it be?
<20> hello
<20> i have a question
<20> under linux, would you be able to watch embedded wmv movies? (on webpages)
<20> stuff like www.break.com for example
<18> vladix, yes with the right codecs sure.
<20> there are wmv codecs for linux?
<18> vladix, why don't you try a live cd like knoppix and see if you can do what you are after before installing a distro.
<20> i thought there are none :)
<18> vladix, yeah w32codecs
<21> Hey
<21> does anyone know a good tutorial on how to do a distro from scratch? A real thing?
<18> MegaByte, what build your own distro type thing?
<18> MegaByte, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
<21> chuckyp: I don't want LFS
<21> You have to follow all the book, including applying their patches
<21> if I wanted that I'd use arch Linux
<18> MegaByte, well what else are you trying to do? Modify someone elses distro?
<21> No
<21> I'd like to build my own stripped down distro
<18> MegaByte, http://www.rpath.com/corp/
<18> MegaByte, there you can select your own pakcages etc... and build an iso
<21> chuckyp: you can do that with any distro, can't you?
<18> MegaByte, yeah i'm not quite sure as to what you want to do?
<21> chuckyp: Build my *own* distro
<21> not anything-based
<18> MegaByte, Well i've provided you with links to build your *own* distro.
<18> MegaByte, but you are not listening.
<18> MegaByte, are you even looking at any of those sites?
<18> MegaByte, have you google searched "build your own distro"
<21> yes...
<21> chuckyp: Have you read the LFS book? It mostly requires me *not* to use any other packages that deviate from the book
<21> because they will go wrong
<18> MegaByte, what about rbuilder?
<21> Rpath seems more like choosing pieces of software and ***embling them together too
<21> Like arch linux
<18> MegaByte, do you want to just compile your own kernel? I'm so confused.
<21> chuckyp: I want a guide to build my own distro. I want to learn to build a real custom distro, with the packages staying at different directories if I want so, to be able to choose my own packaging system or choosing my own init style
<18> hmm....
<21> It's not what LFS is, for example. With LFS, I have to follow their rules and use their init scripts, and so on
<22> hello
<21> hi
<22> is there anyway to grep only dir with regexp?
<21> yanis: ls dir | grep "expression"
<21> try that
<21> chuckyp: do you get what I mean?
<22> to be more specific: I want to checkout a rep using cvs. but I dont want the subfolders. do you have any idea how to do that?
<21> yanis: I don't, I'm sorry.
