<0> ok, how would i do that?
<1> take the card out, then put it back in again...
<2> chico_marx: how much ram do you have now?
<2> chico_marx: lspci doesn't show the card?
<0> 768. i'll check lspci
<0> nope,it's not in lspci anymore.
<0> no luck reseting the card.
<0> i guess it's burnt
<0> any other guesses?
<2> take the ram out and see if it reappears?
<0> ok
<0> nope, it's gone for good...
<3> I am trying to get a wireless card to work, and I need to edit a file in /etc/modutils, and when I try I get a read-only file system error, I used the toram option on damn small linux 2.1b
<3> how can I get around this?
<1> Why not just mobprobe the module you want to load by hand?
<3> the module is wrong
<3> I need to change prism2_pci to prism2_usb
<3> any ideas?
<4> hw would i add users to proftpd?
<5> Yo
<5> How do I do a stealth scan with nmap?
<2> MegaByte: nmap(1) knows
<5> amphi: Never mind, I was doing it wrong
<5> with -SF instead of -sF
<6> I have a small bash script that greps through /var/log/messages, but the output is void of any newlines (it's just all cramed together). Is there a way to make the output more readable?
<5> hey
<5> does the sb live sound better under Linux?
<5> a friend of mine stated that my mic sounded better when I used skype under Linux with him
<5> it sounded better overall
<7> uh...maybe?
<8> I just got an external HD, it was called LACIE until I formatted it ext3... now its "74.5 GB Volume". Anyone know how I can rename it?
<7> called that where?
<8> nautilus
<1> e2label ?
<8> kittenbot: I'll give that a shot thanks!
<7> probably wouldn't do it. nautilus probably just displays fat filesystems differently than it does ext3 filesystems.
<8> Mathman: Well I just bought the thing, I was getting a ton of errors with rsync so I fdisked and formatted it from fat to ext3 So to me it looked like it wiped a disk label but I've never tried to change something like that before
<7> that label stuff is a fat thing I'm pretty sure.
<8> Mathman: Hmm... Well as soon as I'm done backing up. I'm going to remount and see what happens
<7> I mean, e2label by all means will let you give your filesystem a label, but I was under the impression that was only useful by mounting it by the label name as opposed to the device name. who knows though, maybe nautilus will use that.
<8> Well i'll let you guys know if it works or not
<8> It works!
<1> \o/
<8> thanks again!
<7> gah. now I need to commit sepeku
<7> sorry if I mangled that word and all.
<8> Mathman: lay some plastic first :)
<9> I'm using centos 4.2 and for some reason now the "bootup" gets stuck on "Enabling Swap Space": what could be wrong?
<7> ugarit: dunno. but disable it for now and try and enable it once you boot up.
<9> Mathman: how do I disable if I can't get in?
<7> ugarit: just comment out the swap line in /etc/fstab
<9> Mathman: but the system is stuck on "Enabling Swap"
<7> ugarit: yeah, you'd need to boot the install cd to rescue mode or knoppix or something.
<9> thanks Mathman
<10> hey... has anyone here ever done something like this: I have a filesystem on box A, and I want to tar it to a tape device on box B. the boxes share a trusted connection. Now, I wonder, can't I just use netcat to pipe tar's output through from box a to box b, and have netcat listen on box b and write to the tape device?
<10> (tape device -> interchangable with 'any block device' if you want :)
<1> That used to be the way I used to copy files between systems ^.^
<10> heh. so it should work reliably?
<1> I don't recall having a problem with it -- so yes, reliable.
<10> well, the only problem I can imagine is TCP's checksum once being right even though the packet is broken - but that's pretty unlikely over a local network connection, even if I transfer several GB.
<1> intrr: Here's a little script that I wrote -- you might need to dust if off though >>> http://pastebin.com/547646
<9> anyone here us OpenOffice's draw?
<9> anyone here use OpenOffice's draw?
<10> kittenbot: heh, thanks. yes, that looks like what I want to do.
<10> ugarit: fortunately not ;)
<10> kittenbot: this seems much less h***le than getting such a thing to work through ssh, so I'm choosing this :)
<10> and it's of course faster too, I don't need encryption.
<1> Shouldn't be all that much faster than ssh... though a benchmark is the best way to tell...
<10> no, but it's less load on the boxes.
<1> hmmm... perhaps
<10> no, for sure ;)
<10> tar -cvO "$@" | nc $host $port -w 1 | cat
<10> why the additional cat at the end?
<1> I'm sure I had a reason -- but I wrote that code 5 years ago :P
<1> Perhaps it was just symmetry...
<10> heh
<1> Ah! To get the "Connected" that echo-d into the other side...
<1> hmmm -- perhaps I ought to just stick to the symmetry argument :P
<1> But these days I either use scp, of sshfs... I stopped doing stuff like that a long while back...
<1> of=or
<10> kittenbot: I just used nc -l -p 123 > t on the receiving side, and then cat t|nc hostname 123 on the receiving side, md5sum'd, and it's OK... so, I'll just start using this method :)
<10> sshfs, what is that?
<1> NAME
<1> sshfs - mount filesystems over ssh protocol
<10> oh. interesting.
<1> You'll need FUSE.
<1> I guess you did your test as root then ;)
<10> well, yes. for writing to raw devices and reading an entire filesystem, I need root anyway ;)
<10> (this is a complete backup of a server machine to an USB hard drive on a workstation)
<10> the server is too old to have USB :P
<1> hmmm
<10> hmmm... just started.. wonder why the usb drive seeks so much.. it should be sequential?
<10> (tar)
<10> there's *lots* of seeking heard.
<1> The drive's not being used for anything else?
<10> no.
<1> The drive's contains a freshly formatted filesystem?
<10> it doesn't contain a filesystem, no.
<10> just raw partitions.
<10> why a filesystem?
<10> i just write a tar archive to it...
<1> Just thought the you'd be writing the tar into a mountable filesystem... that's all...
<10> no, that would just be an additional source for error and overhead. :)
<10> the usb drive is a 250 GB one with 4 partitions, each of them contains a tar archive of one of my boxes, except one, which contains a dd image of a windows box.
<10> (of a window boxes complete hard drive)
<1> Maybe -- but at least then you'd know what is was (because it has a filename) when it was taken (because it has a timestamp), and whether you had any other backups (other files).
<10> kittenbot: i know what it is because this is a totally single-purpose drive, i'll never use it for anything else :) when it was taken is clear because I have the monthly backup in my calendar :)
<10> the seeking is still odd to me. but well. tar -tf on the partition gives OK results, so I guess the backup is being written correctly.
<10> ack, it's already finished?
<10> that must be wrong...
<1> Are there any errors reported at either end?
<10> no. hey, but I think I forgot the most important directory on the tar commandline ;-)
<10> still, this was pretty fast for a few GB...
<11> hi, can anyone help me get xorg.conf set up to use DVI on my 20.1
<11> inch flatscreen?
<11> getting a lot of flickering/interlacing, and i've tried every modeline/option i can find on google
<10> eww, why did you get a flatscreen?
<11> i like it
<11> works great with vga cables
<11> but xorg dun like dvi for some reason
<10> no room for a real CRT?
<11> not a 20 inch one, no
<10> philips' 201B4 are pretty small and lightweight (21")
<10> agreed, their contrast ****s, but still far better than that of an LCD :)
<11> well, this is paid for, so i'd just as soon try and make it work rather than buy a new crt
<10> render1: sure, though a new CRT would probably cost half of the TFT ;)
<11> yes, but i still would rather not just throw this $500 monitor out
<11> so if there was some way to make it work with digital inputs that'd be great, otherwise i'll just have to go back to analog
<12> I'd get an LCD if I thought they were worth the money...
<13> What't the command to reset a terminal? I can never remember.
<10> no idea, fortunately I have space for CRTs everywhere ;)
<1> $ whatis reset
<1> reset (1) - terminal initialization
<13> Not the command I was thinking of, but just as good (and a lot easier to remember)
<1> 'cat /dev/random' is also good something :)
<10> what was the command you used? echo with the escape sequences by hand? ;)
<13> I've done that before. I prefer cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
<1> render1: That's probably a card specific question -- look in it's manpage... key words you might be looking for: dvi, monitorlayout, clone...
<1> TJNII: Yeah, but sticking into your sound card won't fix your terminal...
<13> Actually that screws it up whenever I try
<11> hrmm, tis a 5200fx, i've tried a few options under my device section (option flatscreen and option connectedmonitor dsp-0)
<1> Keep on trying it -- it tends to work on in the end...
<1> TJNII: It's what I use when 'reset' does not do the trick...
<1> (Well, when I'm at a console -- these days I just use xterms, so I just close the window and open another one.)
<14> hey, I've a server which insists on sending emails from root@servername.mydomain.com, it's using sendmail. What do I change to make it send from root@mydomain.com?
<15> Have dual boot system when I select fedora from grub it boots up starts loading x and blam monitor goes out of range; however, if I load runlevel 3 from grub then init 5 to load x it goes in fine. So what is causing monitor to go out of range on normal boot?
<16> if i want to run a script every 10 minutes using cron, how would i do that? whats the one liner to append to my cron script?
<15> man cron
<3> I'm trying to buy a wireless USB adapter that will work for linux, has anyone used one that has worked out of the box?
