<0> an application not responding to commands is crashed
<1> spike, i am a newbie, it can be a crah
<1> spike, i would like to end the connection of only one user
<2> a crash to me is a segfault or something that "quits" the application, and not leaves it frozen.. but I suppose everyone sees it differently.. :P
<0> they just introduced the word freeze to describe a situation where the application doesnt close on itself or produce any error message
<1> wow
<0> well, actually that's true. it's probably more correct to say that both are "application errors" leading to a condition where you cant use the application anymore
<0> either because it closes/die (crash) or because it sits there without responding (freeze)
<2> my x crashes the whole system as soon as I start it.. gotta press reset button.. :P
<0> sphenxes: so you have more than one user logged in? that's the prob?
<0> sphenxes: if X crashed you cant loggin just your son out, you need to restart X as a whole
<1> spike, yep
<1> spike, ic, thanks
<0> but can you actually login to X with the other user?
<3> Hey
<3> I'm looking for a way to encrypt my external hard drive in a standalone way, so as long as I have the p***phrase, I can access it from any machine even if it's running windows.
<3> Is that possible?
<0> EchoGen: yes, you have 2 possible choices: truecrypt or LUKS
<0> EchoGen: and of course filesystem must be fat32 if you want to write to it from linux
<0> EchoGen: truecrypt might be easier for you to setup, and you can get both linux and windows version from their site
<3> Isn't that commercial?
<0> EchoGen: and unless you use fedora you need some extra work on linux for LUKS too
<0> EchoGen: no, it's FLOSS
<3> I'm running suse 10.0
<3> truecrypt, huh?
<3> I'll look into it, thanks
<0> EchoGen: everything I name/deal with is FLOSS if not otherway specified :)
<3> cool
<3> Know where I can find an rpm?
<0> do you want me to come over and isntall it for you?
<3> lol
<3> no thanks
<0> you've got enough info to continue by yourself, please at least try, and try hard before asking more questions
<3> rpm's are more convienent, that's all
<3> ok
<3> Thanks
<0> you're welcome
<4> Hi, I'm trying to create a tar file of a directory (> 2GB) the target file system has a limitation of 2GB / file so after a while the tar command failes. Can tar automatically split the file he's creating ?
<3> Try here:
<3> http://linuxgazette.net/issue99/tag/1.html
<5> has anyone opene .daa files (Direct-Access-Archive) in linux?
<6> Hello.
<6> Somebody once told me that almost anything can be streamed through almost any port on linux to almost any device.
<6> What I was wondering is, is it possible to stream video through a com port to a standard a/v in on my tv?
<7> Erm...that might be a bit hard to do
<6> That's what I thought.
<6> But do you think it's possible?
<7> With additional equipment yes, but the bandwidth will be restricted by the UART, so you won't get high quality
<6> I've never seen any documentation that even hints at it, yet this guy swore it was possible, and he could do it. Of course, I don't have contact with him anymore...
<6> What additional equipment are we talking about?
<0> I've seen ethernet to vga :), failry useful
<6> Now that would be useful.
<6> But not vga
<6> tv out
<3> Hey, me again.
<3> I'm re-installing my distro, and during the installation of suse linux 10.0, in the partitioning, there was a crypt file option.
<3> Something about a loopback device, but there wasn't any documentation about it, could someone direct me to some?
<3> I googled it and all, but I couldn't find anything.
<8> hi, I am getting ALSA to work when the machine first boots; mp3, CDs, movies, etc. But after some use, it stops working and I get "device not found"
<8> I am calling alsaconf/alsamixer with multiple "card number" arguments to try, to no avail
<9> what tools do you guys use for storage of p***words and sensitive information?
<10> I use a chisel and a stone slab
<0> danfg: cpm
<0> danfg: anything non DM/WM/distro dependant is mandatory in such a scenario imho
<7> I mostly use the wetware in my scull, but will probably need to look for alternatives when I get older
<0> Vimes: or when you get more than a few tenths of failry complex pwd to remember
<0> danfg: actually, for a small number of pwds a simple text file gpg encrypted is more than enough (if you dont want to remember all of them by memory)
<9> hmm... yes, that makes more sense
<0> danfg: cpm will become particularly useful as soon as the static compilation version will be available, so you can store it on a usb key along with the encrypted file containing the pwd
<0> danfg: and you dont need to encrypt it with your private key, just use simmetrical encryption
<0> danfg: that's actually mandatory for setups where you need to take the private key with you anyway, so that's part of the encrypted stuff
<0> s/simmetrical/simmetric/
<9> worst mistake i made once was using an encryption i didn't fully understand
<9> windows' ntfs file encryption :P
<9> i had no idea i lost the key that would allow me access to the files i encrypted
<9> spike: thanks, i'm so used to unnecessarily complex solutions that i forgot to consider a simple gpg encrypted text file
<11> the man page for vim says to put vimrc at /usr/share/vim/vimrc, but it doesn't have an effect. putting it at ~/.vimrc works, but i want it to be global. putting it at /etc/vimrc doesn't work either. help?
<9> THJ: mine is in /etc/vimrc, it works there
<11> :/
<9> it does, so stop talking crazy, ok!?
<9> :)
<11> lol
<11> ho-hum...
<11> okay, weird, on redhat, vimrc needs to be in /usr/share/vim/vim61/macros/
<11> at least in the enterprise edition (yeah, i know it has paid support, but i just became admin of 3 boxen and i haven't gotten any info on contacting redhat)
<0> THJ: redhat.com/support ? anyway, we wont bash you if you ask help in here for "proprietary" software as long as you dont push it too far
<9> i'm on redhat. well, it's centos, but it's like redhat. works in /etc/vimrc. there is no vimrc in /usr/share/vim/vim63/macros here
<9> THJ: you can also ask in #rhel too
<11> danfg: ah, thanks
<12> give the path to kernel build directory with
<12> KBUILD=<path> argument to make
<13> what's a nice software for doing euclidean geometry?
<14> iratsu: freshmeat.net search: geometry OR euclidean ?
<15> I am trying to connect my mp3 player through my usb and I am using vector linux can someone help me?
<12> read the manual , cy next ten years
<16> how do I boot grub manually
<16> I moved my partitions around and now I cant boot
<17> hmm
<17> rescue/live cd's are so handy
<12> maby making a new one
<17> once ya learn how to use them to fix all the problems. :P
<18> is there a form fill feature on firefox?
<17> never noticed.. theres proberly some extensiopns that can do it.
<0> grrrr
<0> grrr, how the hell do you get a makefile to execute something regardless of the target? like a sort of catch-all
<19> I'm trying to install a tfpd server by compiling inetutils-1.4.2 (testing purposes only). I have succesfully configured and compiled. When I run it (sudo ./tftpd /etc) nothing happens and $? = 1 . What am I missing?
<16> how does one edit fstab ?
<20> Unit, with a text editor, usually
<16> where is it located ?
<20> Unit, /etc/fstab
<16> if your not in for love.... im outta here
<21> Hi, I installed kmldonkey but it's not working. even mldonkey_server is not as shown at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12453 any hint please?
<22> hi
<22> everytime i run the lpadmin command i obtain this message "lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused"...what's happenin'?
<23> obscuresoul : it tells you exactly what the problem is
<23> connection refused. it may be caused by a lot of things. you haven't even told us what printing system you use, whether it was ever working or not, and so on
