<0> Excuse me, can someone help me with tar.gz?
<1> TruckerMan: what do you want to do?
<0> i want to unpack/compress/install all in one shot
<0> un-compress even
<0> there is a way if i remember correct
<1> tar -xvzf file.tar.gz
<1> to unpack it
<0> that just unpacks? so do i need to put it into a special folder first?
<1> depends on how the archive is made, but it's safest to do it in a special folder
<0> ok, then what do i do?
<2> how can i view the gateway that my eth0 device is using?
<1> TruckerMan: that depends what's in the archive.. there's probably a README to read
<0> ten four
<2> ah..found it: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
<3> hi im looking for some BASH help - im trying to get xargs to take the list of files found using find and execute a command on them. find /home/ -type f -iname '.bash_history' | xargs -i sh 'cat /dev/null > {}'
<4> Punkcut, try #bash.. they are good at that stuff
<5> is bin2iso the only bin/cue converter available? I dont have java and dont want it at the moment
<6> When you first install debian and it sets up grub it probs for other operating systems. Is it possible to do that after installing? I can't get grub to see windows 2k on my first drive first partition
<7> how can I figure whether a web server supports mod_rewrite if I dont have shell access ?
<7> never mind, stupid question
<7> of course phpinfo will tell
<8> when i try to connect to ftp/ssh/etc on my linux box things are horribly delayed (kinda like it's waiting for something to timeout) ... anyone have any suggestions where i could start to debug this?
<9> GaveUp: when you ssh to your box, try ssh -v (verbose). also try ssh'ng using the ip of your linux box.
<8> hmmm no noticable errors
<10> hello i have 2 ISP.i use one of them and if the one i use fails i want to use the other one.i need a program ping a host in iternet to see if it link is up and change the default routes
<11> hi
<11> i'm building a nagios box, everything almost works fine besdies the eventhandlers. i read the documentation at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/eventhandlers.html on the bottom it shows a script example. i can add $HOSTNAME$ $SERVICEDESC$ to the config file and in this will be replaced as $1, $2. ($1 = $HOSTNAME$, $2 = $SERVICEDESC$), my question is how can i make a shell command and add a & or something to complete the command
<11> like say i wanted to create a folder in a NT box script it as: rsh -l administrator -p 514, $1 "mkdir C:" $2.
<11> it gets the $1 part right by replacing $1 with the Hostname IP
<11> but i'm having difficulty scripting it so "mkdir C:\" $2
<11> i'm lacking the syntax to get the complete "mkdir C:\testtest" . is there a "&" i can add? or && ?
<11> like how can i get $2 to combine / echo into one statement. ? the current command i push out is: rsh -l administrator -p 514 $1 "mkdir C:\" $2
<11> anybody?
<12> I have a tar file of the CVS files of a project. How can I extract it? By using tar, I get two directories, and lots of files with commas
<1> only tar or tar.gz ?
<12> tar.bz2
<1> ah
<1> tar -xvjf file.tar.bz2
<12> Zider, yes, but I get two directories with lots of weird files, which seem to be patches, so I guess there must be an extra step to actually get the real content.
<1> hmz
<1> dunno then
<12> Zider, no problem, thanks anyway.
<13> anyone know of anything like grep, but that only hilights the relivent bits of the stream instead of filtering them?
<1> haha
<14> any recommendations for a dv camcorder capture app? Look at Kino now.
<14> Looking at Kino now...
<15> 'lo?
<15> my feet are made of cheese.
<16> is there a way to list all of the executable files in a directory?
<17> clarks: in a directory press the [TAB] [TAB] key twice
<18> clarks : /path/ press [tab]
<19> hi
<19> I have a problem with my laptop. When the X11 starts and I use the combination functions with "fn" key it crach the whole system.
<20> hi all !
<20> I am trying to start linux from a USB hard drive, it boots well, but some time later I get a "bad root" kernel panic !
<20> donno why !
<20> even p***ing root=/dev/sda3, and having usb compiled into the kernel
<21> chepibe: which distro on usb hard drive?
<20> it is gentoo, and the hard drive is a regular hard drive, that boots well when put inside my notebook, but when booting outside it, through usb, i get panic
<21> chepibe: http://rz-obrian.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/knoppix-usb/
<21> chepibe: http://www.usbman.com/USB_Guides.htm
<21> chepibe: http://www.usbman.com/Troubleshooter%20General.htm
<20> gnubien: my linux boot well, it starts loading modules etc...
<21> chepibe: http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/book1.html
<20> it is somehow that partition tables on the disk maybe dont get read
<21> chepibe: USB m*** storage devices info http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x498.html
<21> chepibe: acpi may be shutting down the usb drive too
<20> gnubien i already have a usb pendrive from which I boot feather linux
<20> it works well
<20> however my gentoo doesnt
<21> good that the pen drive works; searched the gentoo wiki for USB drive info?
<20> yes but cant find info
<20> donno why it starts everything and then comes out with panic and root not found
<21> chepibe: any particular time or app starting when the panic occurs?
<21> chepibe: ask in #gentoo ?
<20> ok, i'll try to see what goes on, I reboot
<20> see ya lata
<22> how do i turn system beeps off?
<23> setterm -blength 0 in bashrc
<23> or
<23> xset -b
<23> or, if you use kde, disable the bell notifications in kcontrol (and maybe in konsole too but kcontrol should be enough)
<22> thank shevegen
<24> Evolution hangs every time I try to open it. In the terminal, it prints "adding hook target 'source'" followed by a blank line, followed by "(evolution:4406): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_gc_set_foreground: ***ertion `GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed" followed by "*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x089fd5b8 ***". Any ideas?
<23> hmm sounds bad
<23> dont know i can help, but what glibc version you have and which evolution version
<24> Actually, I just got my question answered in #debian. Apparently the glibc people broke binary compatibility again.
<23> good to see other people know more and could help :)
<24> I don't know how to get my launchers in gnome to work again, but the proper command line is G_SLICE=always-malloc evolution
<25> hi
<25> how do I chmod a dir so every user can read+write to all the files in it?
<26> ok
<26> I could boot on usb harddisk
<26> problem was I had to put rootdelay=5 into kernel params
<26> cool :)
<26> and that gentoo rc scripts were reading fstab and doing mess
<17> mindmime: chmod -v o+rw directoryname just to chmod the actual directory...if you had files in it already you'd do it with chmod -vR o+rw dirctoryname
<27> When creating a rpm does the source enviroment have to match the destination enviroment?
<27> i.e. does apache have to be installed with the same directory locations?
<1> has anyone got geexbox to play dvd-isos?

<28> japerr: try #redhat,fedora ,#suse,#mandriva.. may be some .rpm gurus in there
<27> thanks
<29> Crap. I can't remember how to configure a gamepad. And I've looked over Google for the answer, too.
<30> can you append a new block device onto an exsisting linear raid array?
<31> anyone in here feel really noob friendly right now ? cause i know nothing about networking at all, but i have these two old boxes and this null modem. can anybody walk me through how to set this up ?
<31> before i make a bigger mess out of the stuff in /etc/ppp/ ?
<31> i think part of the problem is that the howto i have was writen while the kernel was 1.1 and now it's 2.6 maybe.
<31> Dr_Willis things get quiet in the other channels ?
<21> intelikey: if no help here then freshmeat.net search: /etc/net /etc/net is an app for auto setup of networks, cards, wifi, etc
<31> gnubien will it work for com ports ?
<21> intelikey: no clue
<31> k
<32> :)
<32> Moo!
<32> Been reading up on XEN
<31> i guess the easy way to do this is just pull the hd and stick it in the other box.
<31> i was really hopeful, that just maybe i wouldn't have to do it that way....
<25> hi
<25> what do I type with minicom to connect to ttyS0 ?
<33> If a user get's this error when trying ./configure 'configure: error: C preprocessor "lib/cpp" fails sanity check'
<33> What's a possible cause?
<32> Mad CPP disease!
<32> :P
<32> be sure he has all the C utilities installed perhaps.
<33> an actual answer might work ;)
<33> They've got gcc and g++ installed
<32> Ive seen those messages. and oftend wonder how they check the sanity
<32> thats saying the C Preprocessor. which is cpp Im guessing.
<32> best bet - google for that exact error message - and see what ohers say
<34> I'm having problems with my ubuntu system. xscreensaver caused my system to lock up earlier today while I was installing mjpegtools, and now apt-get and dpkg are having problems. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11566 has the details. apt knows that the package needs to be removed, but because the post-removal script fails, the whole operation fails, and I can't re-install either.
<34> I tried asking in #ubuntu, but one's responded. Anyone have any ideas?
<29> Can't seem to get this USB gamepad working.
<35> Ertain: you'll need to have the correct support for it loaded....
<29> awol: where can I look that up? Or what might I need?
<35> look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ dir ***uming you have the kernel source tree nstalled....
<35> +i
<35> Ertain: what distro? store bought kernel? or compiled yerself?
<29> Acutally, I'm using Ark Linux (not to be confused with Arch Linux ;-)).
<35> ok.... well maybe your kernel doesn't have the support compiled in or as modules...
<35> have a look thru the relevant /boot/config-2.x.x file... uname -a for the kernel vers
<36> i'm trying to mount a fat32 drive but i keep getting "mount: wrong fs type..", how can i check if my kernel has fat32 support?
<37> you are using -t vfat ?
<36> yes, i think i figured it out.. i was missing a NLS cp437
<8> what's a good process for debugging lan speed issues? linux box<->gbit switch<->windows box goes about 2-3MB/s where as yesterday (prior to an unexpected power failure) it was about 35MB/s
<38> 35MB/s is pretty slow...
<38> as to the rest...
