<0> no problem, in fact Im a bastard
<0> jeje
<0> ookpik, so what do you want to do?
<1> i just want a livecd that has both nfsd and lvm2 on it.
<1> i'm amazed at how difficult this is.
<0> then use the gentoo livecd
<1> yeah i will.
<1> i have an old one lying around, but i guess i'll download the whole thing again.
<2>
<1> thanks for your help folks
<3> slrn is hanging on reading news... any ideas it says connection dropped and then tries again. I can ping the newserver and pan works with it any ideas
<4> what is the website where i can build my own system, it has the word "cyber" in it i believe i cant remember
<5> I'm using rxvt-unicode, and I seem to need to export TERM=xterm everytime I open up a new instance. Is there a way around this?
<6> how can i chown a fat32 partition (currently, its mounted)?
<6> im getting "operation not permitted"
<7> hoopyFrood, fat32 doesn't have permissions



<5> hoopyFrood: fat32 doesn't have permissions
<5> what sethk said. ;P
<6> o rly? hm, i got a permission denied when trying to rename a file
<5> you have to set permissions in fstab
<5> to mount and whatnot, then the mounting user/group "owns" the fat32 partition although technically there are no permissions for fat32
<5> I'm simplifying it horribly
<6> i see
<5> man fstab will give you all the options. I prefer to make a group for my fat* partitions and just add my user to that group
<6> i just did: mount -o remount,owner=tmm /backup, going to see if it worked
<5> I guess man fstab won't give you jack heh
<5> man mount will though
<8> can some(1) help me? I am creating this java GUI but i can't get it to display
<8> i get a java.awt.headless exception
<8> and it says that: No X11 display is set
<5> kcor: that seems like a ##java question
<8> maybe, i dunno, i thought it was my X11 display variable (whatever that is)
<8> that variable is not set and i'm not sure how i would set it
<9> is X running?
<8> yeah
<9> then export DISPLAY=":0"
<8> ok, i type that in a terminal, right ?
<9> yes
<8> k
<8> thanks nimaj, that seemed to do the trick
<9> cool
<8> will i always have to type that when i try to start a GUI ?
<9> only if you're starting the java app from a terminal that doesn't know where the display is
<8> oh ok i see what you mean
<10> is there an easier way to say this? I have a feeling I'm doing this a little sub-optimally: ifconfig | awk '/inet addr:/ {print $2}' | sed 's/addr://g' | grep -v '127.0.0.1'
<9> a script i use has this awk statement after ifconfig: awk '$1=="inet" { print $2; }'
<9> i'm sure it's not anymore efficient than your solution
<11> /sbin/ifconfig | awk '/inet addr:/{gsub(/inet addr:127.0.0.1|addr:/, ""); print $2}'
<11> no sed or grep
<10> of course, an excellent answer from someone named grepper :)
<10> how poetic
<11> no clue how ugly that is though :)
<11> heh
<10> something tells me I probably could have done it with cut -d":" -f2 or something
<12> can someone tell me how to search for something using a regular expression in vi please
<10> :%s/whatever/g
<10> you know you can look stuff up on google, right?
<10> lot faster than IRC
<13> i can't seem to get fluxbox to show on my gdm
<13> i have added exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession /usr/local/bin/startfluxbox to my /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/ in the file fluxbox
<14> I have a few units setup at home, our media box hooked to our tv runs xp. I"m looking for some softward that will let me say connect remotely over tcp/ip to say change the song in winamp. the idea being i want to bind it to a key on my keyboard. does anyone have any ideas of what media software to use that might be able to do that in windows and linux?
<15> evening all.
<13> ello
<15> Can someone recommend a howto for using gnu find to p*** a filename to be acted on by multiple commands in the -exec step? Ie. doing something like -exec cat {} | bzip2smp > {}.bz2 ; rm {}
<5> what's a good looking unicode font for rxvt-unicode?
<16> how can i force kill a process when i do kill and kill -9 as root and it still doesn't die?
<16> god that pisses me off
<11> kill the parent
<11> long as it isn't init or something similar :)
<11> if has something to do with dvd/cdrom/scsi bus/ and such, reboot may be needed :(
<16> it is init
<16> and it's not in a zombie state according to top
<16> it's xmms
<16> fired from gnome
<16> 6320 whyvas 16 0 49324 7364 5412 D 0.0 1.5 0:00.20 xmms
<16> what does renice do?
<16> can I not set it's parent to be something else?



<16> this feels like windows 3.11
<17> hi friends...
<16> hello dr edwards
<17> I wanted an AMD-Athlon of 64bits... but my friend give me an AMD-Geode... Is this processor the same? How do I know if this processor works with 64bits?
<18> geode is not the same.
<18> and no it doesnt do 64bit computing.
<17> :(
<18> geode is a really bad proc for the mainstream desktop imho, although it does work well on some thin clients.
<17> do yo know which is the difference in price?
<18> elPepo: is english not your first language?
<17> no, sorry :)
<18> espanol?
<17> si, yo hablo espaol
<17> sabes cul es la diferencia de precios entre un Athlon64 y un Geode?
<18> np, hit up any linux channel in #*-es and they can usually help you.
<18> i do not know the name for the linuxhelp-es channel.
<18> to make it short, geode is a processor which is not good for desktops, athlon64 is about 100 dollars more expensive depending on where you buy it from.
<17> tnx
<18> elPepo: there are MANY spanish speaking linux users, and many of them are smarter than many of us here. dont let english not being a primary language discourage you.
<18> we just dont tend to support that here (primarily)
<17> dont worry... maybe I dont speak very well, but my english is not so bad; so I can "talk" in many channels
<17> and my first channel is always debian (my distro) or linuxhelp (my OS)
<17> :)
<18> elPepo: #debian-es is a great channel, i'm learning spanish myself. similarly i can "talk" i'm just not very proficient or coherent.
<18> i can get buy at a bar in puerto vallarta though :)
<18> by*
<17> debian-es is so slow, I recommed you EcuaLUG (www.ecualug.org) if you want practice your spanish and Linx, I think that our community is good
<18> #ecualug?
<18> no one is awake :P
<17> yes... the channel is more boring that debian-es, bt maybe you want visit our site :)
<17> but IRC is better for on-line questions !
<17> :)
<18> heh, maybe itll help with my spanish.
<18> :)
<19> man
<19> emerging xgl takes for ever
<19> if i knew it was this long i woulda gone to sleep!
<18> Simkin: i never knew that after i got broadband (after setting things to download and then just going to bed) and then starting to use linux.
<18> i would find NEW Nerds setting things to COMPILE and then going to bed.
<19> unix_infidel, lol.
<18> not gettin anything on google :P
<19> unix_infidel, it's not so bad really
<19> unix_infidel, except when you need something really bad.
<18> Simkin: which is why i started using archlinux instead of smgl
<19> well want.
<18> source based id run on a server. or maybe if i had a cluster or two going at home.
<19> i need to set distcc up soon
<19> ihave a bunch of puters
<20> trying to install debian and i cannot get the desktop environment installed
<21> Hi all, I need some ideas on how to extract a bunch of ip adresses out of a text file. Also the ips have port numbers appended on them (example 22.24.66.168:411)and I would like to strip them offIs there a way to do this with grep, or do I have to use sed or something else?
<22> sed or awk is what you want.. i cant remember which is which right now though 8)
<18> btartsa: write a bash script to parse whatever parameter in a loop and then make the correct changes.
<18> then you can write it out to a seperate file.
<21> thanks, but beyond my current skills
<23> yo
<23> gimme a few sample lines, btartsa
<23> and quick, getting sleepy :)
<21> ok 1 sec
<18> lol.
<18> just bother the kids in #bash
<18> brits are just waking up :P
<23> hehe
<21> tcp 0 684 192.168.1.99:4111 70.106.129.119:50599 ESTABLISHED
<21> tcp 0 0 192.168.1.99:4111 70.106.129.119:50375 ESTABLISHED
<21> tcp 0 0 192.168.1.99:4111 81.231.38.253:1444 ESTABLISHED
<23> you want which ip? first one, or 2nd one?
<21> 2nd
<23> er, 2nd, i guess :)
<23> cat FILENAME | | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d : -f 1
<23> er..
<23> cat FILENAME | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d : -f 1
<23> so awk will print the 5th field, which is ip & port
<23> and cut will operate on that output - using the delimiter : (colon), it gives you the first field of its input
<21> ah I see .. thank you
