<0> Zapelius: uh not really; you needed to start the process in a screen session or maybe using nohup..
<1> stray_, yea, that screen session is too late now..
<2> how can I modify the default window manager to KDE on terminal ?
<1> I quess I need to get external power and let this run over night. It seems to take forever to create that 2048 bit long safe prime..
<3> does any one know where i can get the wrt54g open source firmwear
<1> kimosabe, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&rls=en&q=wireless+wrt54g+firmware&btnG=Search
<4> how long does it take for grub to load on average...mine is 45 seconds..seems a little long
<5> Just a few moments.
<6> jerham2651: What do you mean exactly?
<7> xine wont play any of my .wmv files, it says its a windows ASF file, is there a way to play them, im trying to use wine to use windows media player but i dont think it works right
<6> jerham2651: Like, you're waiting 45 seconds before grub even comes up, or just that you've got a 45-second timer?
<6> DJ_Tobias: grab the codecs from mplayer's site
<8> or use mplayer
<7> k
<6> Zider: I believe that xine and mplayer tend to pull from the same codec sources, so if it doesn't work in one it's unlikely to in the other. I could be wrong about that though
<7> thanks guys
<6> The codec pack @ the mplayer site is quite comprehensive though
<8> sekhmet: things usually works in mplayer if xine fails, that's my experience.. I don't use xine at all anymore tho..
<9> how would I recursively delete all directories named .svn under a parent directory?
<6> builder: find . -type d -name .svn -prune -exec rm -rf {} \;
<6> builder: (that'll do from the current dir)
<9> sekhmet: thanks m8
<6> builder: no prob
<7> http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/codecs.html ok i went there and download all the codecs, is there a certain folder i have to put the files in?
<7> '/usr/local/lib/codecs' ?
<6> DJ_Tobias: /usr/lib/win32 here
<6> DJ_Tobias: I'm not sure if that's "standard" or not
<7> im on FC4
<10> Anyone got an idea? I'm trying to install FC4, it boots the kernel fine, but I get "could not set new controlling tty" just as the installer is about to kick in :O
<7> yep found it same place as yours sekhmet
<11> http://www.youtube.com/w/Kevin-Federline-jamming-to-PopoZao?v=Q7Ys46KA4xw
<12> hi..guys i'm using wpa_supplicant to connect to my AP with wpa my question is can I specify the channel so that wpa_supplicant locks instantaniously to the channel of my AP?
<7> daehepod, isnt that britney spears husband?
<9> sekhmet: how would I delete all files with names ending in ~?
<6> builder: -name "*~"
<4> anyone know why I have to xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 7 6 4 5" everytime I reboot
<4> to remap my mouse buttons
<9> sekhmet: cool, thanks
<6> builder: And, you know, change or remove the -type, since you probably don't care about dirs
<6> builder: And since it's not dirs you probably don't need -prune either
<9> I changed it to f
<6> and also "-rf" is a bit excessive if they're just files
<6> etc, etc, etc
<12> sorry X crashed!did anyone replied me?
<13> is there a way to scp files, and keep their original timestamps?
<13> woooops -p
<13> duuuuuh,
<14> is there a way for me to log every successful and failed SSH login attempt?
<6> Punkcut|lunch: That info is probably already being logged to /var/log/auth.log (or something similar)
<15> is DHCP udp or tcp ?
<16> Hello all
<16> I'm running archlinux with kde, and after a recent system upgrade which updated kdelibs all users but root are unable to log into kde...
<16> I'm ***uming whoever built the package set bad permissions somewhere, but archlinux users are too elitist to help with kde issues :(
<16> Can anyone tell me what file may be responsible?
<6> shwag: UDP, typically at least
<6> bah
<6> s/, typically at least//
<17> what to do when a program windows won't close even with the killall command?
<15> in linux, using the free command, does buffers include disk buffers? if so..how is that different from disk cache?
<18> shwag: cache and buffers are different things
<6> tafsen: kill/killall send signal 15 by default, you can try sending it signal 9 instead
<18> tafsen: killall -9
<17> all process er shown using top?
<15> StevenR, so linux has a disk cache, and a disk buffer ?
<6> tafsen: top only shows you the top N processes
<6> tafsen: where N == the number of rows in your current display, minus X
<6> tafsen: where X == however many lines are in the header
<18> shwag: no, linux has buffers and cache, which may or may not be to do with the disk
<15> so if I do a disk read it can actually be taken from the disk cache, and put in the buffer...both of which are just locations in memory
<6> tafsen: To see all processes, use "ps"
<6> tafsen: I generally use "ps -aefw" but there's various options that'll show you everything
<15> StevenR, i know buffers are anything I/O, but i thought cache was just for disk.
<18> shwag: well the kernel may cache other things....I'm not up on my kernel internals
<6> shwag: If you want to examine disk performance, check iostat
<6> shwag: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/sebastien.godard/
<17> sekhmet, http://pastebin.com/523131 =\
<6> tafsen: killall takes a string argument which will match against the command name being run
<6> tafsen: To kill off a specific pid, just use "kill"
<17> sekhmet, so "kill 8577" should close the program?
<6> (also note that you can do more than just kill off process with kill/killall - what it *really* does is just sends a signal to a program, which can mean anything from "reload your conf file" to "die right now" depending on the signal being sent)
<6> tafsen: It should, though again, by default it sends signal 15, you may have to send it a 9 instead, if it's hung up and won't respond to the 15
<17> sekhmet, kill -9 8577 ?
<6> (15 == SIGTERM btw, 9 == SIGKILL)
<6> tafsen: Try it and see.
<17> sekhmet, thx dude :)
<6> (15 is trappable by programs, which is why sometimes it won't work, whereas 9 isn't, so the only situation where a SIGKILL wouldn't work is if the program's locked up because of hardware somehow)
<6> (a SIGTERM is "nicer" to use because it gives a program the chance to clean up after itself before closing)
<17> would I be able to track the error when using SIGKILL ?
<6> "man 7 signal" if you're interested in more about what signals exist and what they're used for, etc
<6> tafsen: signals don't give you any window into debugging what's gone wrong with your program (unless, of course, the program's been designed to dump debugging output on USR1 or something)
<19> does Sun make their SPARC processors?
<15> is it fair to say that if a kill -9 doesnt stop a process that no other SIG would likely make a difference?
<6> shwag: yep. If a 9 doesn't kill it it's usually something hardware related
<6> shwag: Or NFS or something
<6> NFS timeouts can be really annoying
<8> no **** :)
<20> Has any one here used NUT (Network UPS Tools) ? I'm trying to find a good how-to that will expalin just setting NUT up as a client only to talk to standalone networked UPS?
<21> Hi I need to send a fax right now! I'm trying to get this dream job but the only accept resume via fax. I do not have a land line or fax machine. I have Kubuntu, I'm looking for a Linux friendly email to fax service. Any suggestions?
<4> have you googled online faxing?
<4> you may have to pay a small fee..
<4> very little.
<4> especially if its just one fax
<4> http://home.efax.com/s/r/efax-cj2?VID=36258&TYPE=300087&PID=61738

<21> mmkay. i'll try it.
<21> thanks
<4> wait
<4> http://www.freefax.com/
<4> its supported by adds..
<4> but free
<22> Hi! I have a mpeg video file that I want to re-encode
<22> which program I use to do that?
<23> ffmpeg maybe? transcode? mencoder?
<23> its been awhile since i played with video on linux much
<24> How does one write a patch with the "diff" command?
<25> anyone here tried ubuntu "dapper" release?
<23> unix_infidel: no, but that is a cool name for a release
<25> k0s, i didnt like breezy, trying to gauge whether dapper is notoriously unstable?
<15> what does kill -0 do ?
<26> hey
<26> i need help using wine
<26> i installed crossover office
<26> and so that gives me wine too
<26> but i want to use that to run programs already installed on my windows partition
<26> and cxoffice isn't set up for that
<27> So... X seems totally unusable over a SLIP link...
<6> shwag: it should do nothing, there's no signal 0
<6> shwag: Or if it does something, the behavior's undefined
<15> sekhmet, man kill ... its there
<6> 0 0 n/a exit code indicates if a signal may be sent
<6> Yeah, just saw it
<6> Sounds like it just reports whether a process can receive signals
<15> what are VSZ and RSS in ps ?
<28> is there anyway to find out what font an xterm is currently using?
<29> xrdb?
<23> if you're lucky
<29> xterm is usually a nice app like that
<30> or just check in app-defaults to see
<15> in iptables, whats the difference between a chain and a rule?
<31> to enable the auto updated dns entries in bind for dhcp machines, I set the auto-update on bind... what do I change in dhcpd
<31> ?
<6> shwag: i'm-feeling-lucky "iptables howto"
<6> shwag: But in brief: rules are stored in chains
<31> sekhmet "shorewall"
<31> or do I need to install something like an auto dns dhcp program
<32> how can i change the modified date of a file? to, say, 15 days ago
<6> reind: touch
<32> ah, touch -t, thanks
