<0> Hey, anyone around here familiar with how the ZIP format ticks?
<1> ticks?
<0> Specifically, can you pull out a file from the middle of a ZIP archive without decompressing everything that comes before it in the file (like you have to with a tarball)?
<1> meredydd: yes
<0> Woo. Out of interest, where do you get that kind of information?
<1> meredydd: in the first place you're supposed to look for info, man zip
<0> Hmm...do those actually explain the compression scheme?
<0> hmm. Bad phrasing.
<1> np, I got it
<0> Are you saying that it's possible to pull these files out with those particular programs, with those arguments (if so, I was already aware of that), or that the ZIP format is structured such that you can decompress an individual file without doing any computation on the data/files preceding it in the archive?
<0> (it's the latter question I'm really trying to ask)
<1> meredydd: I was talking for experience, yes, not for directo knowledge of the algorithm, so my answer isnt really valid
<0> ah, okay then.
<1> meredydd: but I can give you some good readings
<0> any id-aha! Yes, that would be great :)
<1> and the answer if you have the patience to read on ;)
<1> meredydd: http://www.pkware.com/business_and_developers/developer/popups/appnote.txt
<1> meredydd: guess you cant get any better, and it's been revised Jen 6 2006, so pretty fresh info
<1> have a nice reading :)
<0> mmhmm, thanks
<0> already started :)
<0> aha...and the answer seems to be..."it depends how smart your ZIP algorithm implementation is".
<0> Well, thanks for the help.
<2> is anyone in here versed in the art of ipsec-tools?
<2> i have a tunnel mode vpn (manual keying) set up between two slackware machines, when I ping to the remote LAN from the LAN interface of the local peer the tunnel is used and things work fine. When i try to ping the LAN interface of the remote peer from a machine on the local network the packets appear to get dropped by the local gateway. if I ping from the LAN interface of the remote peer to the client on the local LAN the packets traverse the tu
<3> How can I install libdvdcss on Ubuntu?
<4> ask in #ubuntu?
<3> I tried
<3> it's so busy at #ubuntu your question gets buried very quickly
<4> plantperson : or type that question in google. first hit
<1> plantperson: see the guide on the wiki about properary formats?
<1> proprietary*
<3> the ubuntu wiki?
<1> wiki.ubuntu.com
<4> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_MythTV_SVN_on_Ubuntu_Breezy <- here, in case if my previous comment was too vague
<1> ananke: nah, they've got a page on the wiki with step by step guide and no mythTV noise

<4> You can install libdvdcss by:
<1> <drumrolls>
<1> :)
<1> Blis***: no, that wasnt for you :)
<3> I installed libdvdcss but vlc still won't play dvds
<5> :-)
<5> jmedina: So you worked it out?
<6> wasn't there a firefox plugin to help fix miss behaving web pages on the fly?
<7> blahdebla1, thansk
<8> hey guys
<1> miss behaving is a reasonable typo :)
<8> need a little help with dvd::rip
<9> painkiler: as a rule, ask specific questions...
<8> when it starts to read the actuall movie title, it gives me this error: libdvdread: DVD support unavailable
<8> is it because libdvdread doesn't support CSS encoding?
<9> painkiler: probably you need to get the hacked DVD CSS libraries for your distribution.
<8> hmm. apt-get?
<8> i think i have them though...
<5> painkiler: You can't get libdvdcss through the standard apt-get repositories on Debian. GIYF for finding the .deb file (somewhere in .fr, IIRC)
<8> ok
<9> painkiler: the Marillat repository...
<8> ?
<5> Blis***: That's the one!
<1> I dont think it's possible but let's try
<1> a box of mine isnt reachable anymore, ping -> dst host unreachable, pkts die 1 node before my box
<1> when it became unreachable I was d/l'ing my email, the box have been up for ages, and I've got nothing in my monitors, no misbehaving, no load, no traffic, all in the avg, no reports from snort, nothing in my fw logs
<1> mtr shows ~35% pkt loss on that last node
<1> I phoned them, and they say they've got no probs on their network, but I cant see how my box could die all of a sudden like that. what I fear is they'll powercycle it just to pretend it was my machine crashed and not admit they had a prob with that router
<1> so the question is: is there anything I can do to prove it wasnt my server but their network?
<10> spike, any way you can physically get at it?
<5> spike: Are you really asking for advice? If so: Don't waste the energy trying to prove anything now - just get the problem fixed and move on with life.
<1> blahdebla1: move on with life... sounds good :)
<10> NO!
<10> Don't move on until you've kicked some ***.
<1> I'm multitasking, I can kick ***es while moving on :)
<5> spike: You're not a woman, are you??.... :-\
<5> :-)
<1> well, someone is gonna pay for this downtime, that's sure
<1> ehehe, blahdebla1 not last time I checked
<5> Only chicks are supposed to be multitasking! =-)
<9> spike: logs from your server might be helpful...
<1> so linux is female? :)
<5> Computers are, so Linux might be.
<1> ah, didnt know that
<1> Blis***: and what would I look for? I expect to find nothing, as to me the machine was perfectly sane
<1> oh, true, it'd reveal an uptime longer than when I lost connection to it
<11> google wont show "cache" or "similar pages" links for me anymore
<11> whats up with that/
<11> it seems to only happen with mozilla
<11> erm firefox
<9> spike: thats the point, you would see logged connections, and then they suddendly stop. But if you find DNS resolution errors that means it lost network connectivity while still owrking.
<12> i'm looking for a small, simple livecd linux that has both nfsd and lvm2 on it by default.
<12> i was planning to use slax but it doesn't have lvm by default.
<12> any ideas? distrowatch.com is no help.
<1> ookpik: ubuntu liveCD for sure got lvm2, and you can apt-get nfsd if it's not there, but iirc it is
<12> i tried the dapper-drake livecd, no dice on the nfsd.
<1> doh
<1> ookpik: cant you just apt-get it?
<12> and it MUST have these on-disk, i need to be able to read and share the files without an internet connection.
<1> ehehe
<12> and besides, an ubuntu livecd is huge, and boots right into gnome... i would prefer something tiny that has no X .
<1> honestly I cant remeber of any liveCD that's got nfsd
<12> what about samba? there aren't that many either.
<1> they all got kernel support to be clients, but not to run the server
<12> i'd prefer nfs though.
<12> yeah i know
<1> ookpik: roll your own?
<12> it's an option, but i'd rather not spend the time
<12> i was hoping to get this done today, within the next half-hour
<12> meh.
<12> it's been a long time since i've used a bsd, i wonder if maybe i could get this from a freebsd livecd?
<12> or even openbsd?
<12> is there some kind of lvm equivalent for bsd ? probably.
<12> hell it probably got ported to linux from bsd in the first place, rofl
<1> wait, I jsut remembered of something
<12> maybe i'll just roll my own and call it "file server linux" or something.
<12> maybe i can put it online and get people to paypal me a dollar.
<12> what?
<7> what about
<7> http://www.freenas.org/
<1> no, that's too much
<1> I didnt mean freenas is too much
<12> thatll probably work
<1> this is what I remembered of: http://www.openfiler.com/about/
<1> which is beyond what you want
<12> it's also not a livecd.
<12> but if i put in an extra disk, it would be good.
<1> ookpik: usbkey sounds easier
<12> dont' have one.
<12> but my god it looks awesome.
<12> i'd throw in an extra hd just for that ****.
<12> but i'd really wish for a livecd distro so i can just reboot it i get paranoid.
<1> I dont see wy throwing it anything else
<1> ookpik: cant you just install those 16MB on the 27GB disk?
<12> freenas is good but there's a subtle difference between lvm and raid that i sort of care about.
<12> openfiler is 16mb ??
<1> ah, you meant openfiler :)
<1> thought you were talking of freenas
<12> right, openfiler seems better than freenas, but freenas is a livecd.
<12> if freenas had something besides just raid, that would be ideal.
<12> but there is a subtle difference between raid0 and non-striped lvm.
<12> a difference that matters to me.
<12> openfiler 1.1 only has lvm1 :(
<7> well the gentoo livecd has lvm2 and raid support
<12> jmedina: i'm in #gentoo right now, those bastards didn't answer my question.
<12> i used gentoo for a year as my primary desktop OS!!!111 bastards.
<7> hey Im there!!
<12> hahaha i thought so.
<7>
<7> no problem, in fact Im a bastard
