<0> hi all
<0> I need some help with some coding if poss
<0> I need to add a 2nd gateway into a system and route all the traffice from the gateway back to the gateway
<1> Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer hints at possibility of Microsoft litigating against Linux
<1> Ballmer = HITLER
<0> would this work route add -A 192.168.50.0/24 default gw 209.203.61.70 eth1
<1> Ballmer deserves a jail cell
<1> with osama
<0> let him try....
<1> it just came thru the newswires like 2 hours ago
<1> i didnt have my alerts on so i missed it till now
<2> how do i check if my firefox uses ipv6 to communication with the server? is there an iftop for ipv6? tcpdump -bleh-what will show me ipv6 activity?
<1> anyways
<3> tim2-ct: um, -A is for specifying a family, in any case 'inet' is implied so it's superfluous..
<1> in terms of font rendering engines, how come ubuntu is bad
<1> the quality of the images are bad



<3> ubuntu has weird builds of freetype. possibly with the non-patented hinting disabled for unknown reasons
<3> the debian package should give better results, though I haven't tried it recently
<1> triskelios, the nicest looking one i tried was novell desktop 9 but i think it had the truetype licensed and stuff
<1> it also i think came with the microsoft fonts
<1> it was a commercial evaluation version, but i hate paid software
<3> lsuactiafner: the correct tool for listing network connections is netstat
<2> Triskelios : tcpdump ip6 -i br0 -vv should work though? just want to see if any activity is there in the form of ipv6
<3> lsuactiafner: probably, if that's the right interface
<2> yeh its a bridge
<2> seems there is no ipv6 on the network
<2> ipv6 pings are much faster, ***uming tcp transfers would be also?
<3> lsuactiafner: depends.. icmp might have priority
<2> or not as busy as ipv4 (as in many client programs using it)
<2> but looks promising
<4> hey how can i make the computer speaker beep?
<5> Punkcut: hit ctrl-g in a term window?
<2> cat /dev/urandom >> /dev/dsp is fun also
<5> lsuactiafner: that won't make the beepy-speaker beep, it'll make the sound card speakers make noise. (:
<2> heh
<2> wonder how it sounds with surround sound
<2> no b***...
<4> Skunky : is there a way to do this remotely from an sshd session
<4> ive lost a computer but i know the IP
<5> Punkcut: echo it to tty1? cat it to tty1?
<4> how do i echo ctrl+g???
<2> rofl
<3> typo cat > /dev/tty1; type Ctrl-G
<2> softbeep maybe?
<3> you could also install a tool that controls the speaker (one is called beep)
<6> can anybody help me whit istalling ati drivers
<6> ??
<7> Anyone got a good idea on what I can use to monitor CPU temperature?
<5> Laban: like constantly? or what?
<8> Laban: lm_sensors / gkrellm
<7> OK
<7> Skunky: Yepp
<5> Laban: gkrellm for constant visual.... lm_sensors or look at the acpi data in /proc for the occasional ...
<9> hi
<9> is there any eay of hiding grubs boot messages?
<9> way*
<10> Hi, I'm migrating users to linux, and I'm making a script to do it, how do I supply adduser with fullname and p***word?
<9> man useradd ?
<11> anyone got a link on how to extract a single partition from an image file?
<8> man dd, look for offset
<11> thanks
<11> there was actually a detailed doc on this but the link is broken
<11> on doing the calculations and stuff
<11> amrit, your google idea worked ..thanks
<12> hi, is it possible to set decimal places in octave?
<13> There was a desktop mangager that was being created which worked like this: you would select a file, and then anything that could be done with that file would be made in the menu to the right...for example if it was a sound file it would be like (play,email)
<14> MrKeuner: probably... :-) I dont know really.
<13> If you clicked on a text file it would show like (edit, print, mail)
<14> ToothpickE17: this work with almost all file managers too.
<12> Blis***/ actually I am calling octave from inside texmacs
<13> If you clicked on a hardware device like the printer it would show just files that could be printed.
<13> I can't recall the name and wanted to see how development was progressing.
<14> MrKeuner: that actually not a bad idea.
<12> MrKeuner/ I would like to get rid of scientific notation but could not figure it out
<13> Found it, segusoland
<13> it's development has stopped
<13> and I know it's its



<15> ?
<14> MrKeuner: http://www.aims.ac.za/wiki/index.php/Octave:Text_and_file_output
<14> MrKeuner: and http://www.math.utah.edu/faq/matlab/
<12> Blis***/ thank you but that does not seem working in the matrixes
<12> I set format short but still get scientific output in matrices
<14> MrKeuner: perhaps because of scale issues, try also 'digits'
<12> hmm I'll check that
<14> MrKeuner: as in: give it more digits. probably it uses scientific if the number of digits is insufficient
<14> MrKeuner: http://www.octave.org/doc/Terminal-Output.html#Terminal-Output
<16> Still having trouble with this: http://edevelop.org/node/2146
<14> MrKeuner: If Octave is unable to format a matrix so that columns line up on the decimal point and all the numbers fit within the maximum field width, it switches to an e format.
<16> I'm trying to install e17 and need to modify the {directory}/debian/control file and change xlibs-dev to libx11-dev (what would {directory} be referring to)?
<12> Blis***/ oh
<12> Blis***/ I looked at that page but obviously missed that part
<12> Blis***/ thank you
<14> MrKeuner: no probs, I guessed what to look for.
<17> does anyone know anything about linux chemistry applications?
<16> I know kde has one, but that is the extent of my knowledge and I could get the name quick if you want it
<17> I am trying to debug this one on gnome and I am not sure where to start. Any suggestions?
<14> jikanter: bad question... consider reading http://tinyurl.com/bz8v4 for suggestions on how to ask questions...
<17> thanks
<14> jikanter: it is a big too vague, in the main.
<18> Why is it that when I mount an nfs drive, I don't get write priveleges? (And yes, I did edit the /etc/exports with the (rw) option)
<18> I'm able to mount, but I can only read
<19> Hello everyone
<20> espresso_: as who?
<20> sup fuzzy
<18> junbug: got it fixed :)
<18> thanks
<20> espresso_: what was it
<18> didn't do exportfs -r
<20> ive never used that cmd
<20> hm ok,, displays and can reove not bad...
<20> remove*
<21> I have a ubuntu server, with samba installed, I am trying to install a Lexmark X6170 USB printer on it, Can anyone help me out with the Hows?
<21> please leave an answer if you can help, I need to step out for a bit.
<22> For the printer - check the CUPS homepage to see if its even supported.
<21> do you happen to have a URL?
<23> Is it true that Linux's ext2 filesystem is more fragile than NTFS? It seems like it's a lot easier to lose data from a hard reboot than with Windows, from what I've read/heard.
<23> by "hard reboot", I mean cycling power.
<21> Flinn: I wouldn't know, In ten years, I have never lost data with windows platforms.
<23> arrick: How about with Linux?
<21> Just started using it yesterday, for a print server
<22> Ive found ext3 to be the best for my needs.
<21> thats why I'm in this room
<23> I've never noticed any lost data in Windows, but I'm sure due to cosmic rays I've lost a few bits ;)
<21> haha
<22> Ive lost HUGE amounts of data under windows. :P
<22> but the Power supply blowing and taking out 240gb of hd's shouldent count.
<23> ext3? uh oh, my knowledge is obsolete
<22> :P
<21> I've been running networks for ten years now and havent had any problems, except operator errors
<23> what is different about ext3?
<22> ext3 is the current standard file system for most disrtos. its ext2+ a journel.
<22> Journeled :P
<23> I see.. and NTFS does journaling, right? Journaling = recording reads/writes, and replaying them at boot if they did not occur?
<23> or am I totally off?
<21> but I am now expanding my horizons, since I have hears that linux can be more secure, and also is much more inexpensive than windows
<22> ntfs is journeled also.
<22> Linux is more secure and can be MUCH cheaper.
<22> :P
<22> its a very handy tool.
<21> I'm on the Cups page, and I can find a compatiblity list?
<21> ok , night
<22> Its in the links/pages somewhere could see if they got a search entry field/form
<24> hey all
<24> where is #wrt54g goes
<24> ?
<25> FC5, fluxbox, irssi, urxvt. Which colour in urxvt should I change so my own name doesn't appear white in irssi urxvt?
<26> my machine crashed during the night, now I have no kde title bars for manipulating open windows and the menu.taskbar dissappears shortly after login
<27> hey all

<29> Grrr! When are Novell going to release a !@#$% availability date for SLES 10? :-(
