<0> soundray has quit ("Connection reset by beer.") ROFL
<1> davidmoore83: i don't know of a tool, no.
<2> anyone else know of any solution to my issue!?
<1> arrick: ah, the print server guy. did xfce work out?
<3> Dr_Willis: this is what it returned before ' tar: Old option 'C' requires an argument.' and now without the - it gives 'tar: error is not recoverable: exiting now, tar: child returned status 2'
<2> this problem makes me want to cry :(
<3> brenner: xforce works for a gui but doesnt help for the printer, I have been given advice to find most of what I need on the wiki though.
<4> w00t
<5> arrick: normally to untar somthinh i use, tar xzvf whatever.tar.gz
<4> back on linux
<4> :D
<6> Question: I want a simple way to allow a friend to do an FTP-like file download from my box to his, but I want the transfer to be encrypted. I have read about scponly and rssh, 2 tools that will supposedly allow this, and I'm wondering if anyone here who has used either of them either has recommendations or caveats about either of these tools (or are there better/simpler ways) ?
<5> Xenguy: winscp is handy. and easy to use.
<1> davidmoore83: well, you're not alone: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=136314&highlight=hard+drive+light
<5> Xenguy: uses ssh.
<3> brenner: I got the shares set up, just got to get the printer installed now. thanks for all the help the other day
<7> Is there a service that will email me blog posts when rss feeds are updated?
<3> thanks Dr_willis
<2> brenner, i've read ALL those threads :)
<0> what is /etc/hotplug/blacklist?
<1> davidmoore83: yes, just noticed your post lol
<6> Dr_Willis: I'm familiar with scp tools, but I'm looking for a way to limit the access to my server in the same way that ftp 'chroots' a user to a home directory - if that makes sense
<2> brenner, i just wish i could check HD activity. If i could see it wasn't being used and it was soley a light issue i wouldnt be as bothered
<5> Xenguy: good luck there then. :P im not that paranoid. Lol.
<8> Say, are there any converters or adapters that will let me display stuff from my VGA graphics to a TV?
<5> Xenguy: every time ive seen someone trying to chroot users.. they often come back and say its not worth the effort.
<6> Dr_Willis: I don't think it is an issue of paranoia at all - it's a question of access really
<6> Dr_Willis: yeah, if only there was a way to combine the best of FTP and SSH, in a simple, usable way
<1> arrick: no worries. i didn't do much though.
<2> brenner, would also be nice if ubuntu would recognise my cpu etc LOL
<0> i need help... i'm upgrading from hoary to breezy
<5> Xenguy: sounds like a project for ya! - but heck - it may of allready been done.
<3> Dr_Willis: do I download the file using tar?
<0> i was told that /etc/hotplug/blacklist was changed and i was given a list of options
<5> arrick: tar has NOTHING to do with 'downloading' files.
<0> one was D to show differences, and i selected it
<9> where does apt store the packages it downloads?
<3> ok, how do I download the file first?
<6> Dr_Willis: scponly and rssh are 2 projects that try to address this issue - I just don't see a lot of people using these tools, and I wonder why
<3> apt-get?
<5> riddlebox: /var/cache/apt i think
<1> davidmoore83: there's a different command for that. i forgot it though
<0> i think terminal brought up a readme, but i don't know how to exit back to my installation
<2> brenner, diff cmd for what?
<3> hOnus: ctrl c, or ctrl x
<1> davidmoore83: show cpu specs
<10> or q if your in man
<5> Xenguy: no idea. :P lol. perhaps everyone else figures just normal ssh works good enough, and chrooting isent worth the effort.
<0> well dammit i don't know if my upgrade finished because that took me back to prompt
<11> can i safely resize an ext3 partition so there is empty space at the start? i want to resize the partition by a few mb, create a fat32 partition at the beginning of the drive at put a windows ext2 filesystem driver in it
<1> davidmoore83: cat /proc/cpuinfo
<12> h0nus, if it just ended, then it probably worked
<0> hope so
<3> Dr_Willis: How do I download the file from the site? gotta use a browser?
<0> o_0
<13> arrick: wget?
<3> ok
<0> brb
<5> arrick: yea that would be one way... how did you find the file?
<6> Dr_Willis: curious - it seems like such an obvious thing to want to do (not allow someone to browse all around a server with say winscp); even ftp doesn't allow that
<2> brenner, it recognises my CPU with that cmd yet the OS doesnt recognise it! weird!
<5> Xenguy: let them browse.. they cant hurt anything.
<5> Xenguy: in theory. :P
<3> Dr_Willis:I was recommended to the file by a site, for my printer, and now cant figure out how to get it to the pc, so I can install it. It is a driver
<1> davidmoore83: well, not the OS. just the device mgr tool
<5> arrick: I think you got a long session of learning to do. :P
<3> yeah
<1> i don't know where it gets its info from
<3> I know
<10> davidmoore83: have you checked out "cat /proc/cpuinfo" ?
<3> been doing it for 3 days now
<6> Dr_Willis: heh, I have to find a better way - anyhow, thanks
<5> arrick: this was for some lexmark printer?
<2> yes Toma-
<3> yes
<3> x6170
<10> and no cpu info? weird!
<5> arrick: you may be better off. mowing yards for 3 days - and buying a better printer. :P
<3> the z600 driver works for it
<2> Toma-, no i get CPU info with that cmd
<1> Toma-: that works for him...the device mgr doesn't
<3> hey, not nice
<10> add udev/hal problems?
<3> my network was free, hence tryign to run free software
<10> s/add/ahh
<5> arrick: ive tossed out many a lexmark printers. :P
<1> Toma-: his HDD light is also constantly on
<3> yeah
<3> this one belongs to the VA until I finish College, so I cant
<14> what's a good application to manage contacts with my razr over bluetooth?
<10> brenner: mine it too. but thats because i wired it silly into the mobo...
<10> davidmoore83: is there anything using the harddrive?
<2> Toma-, it isnt the wiring
<2> Toma-, how could i find out? the light doesnt flicker though its constant
<3> your drive is toast man
<10> davidmoore83: your bios should be controlling the hdd light, not anything else... see the fuser command
<2> Toma-, my HD light is fine in windows but not in Linux distros
<10> *note to self - remove soulfly from mp3 playlist
<10> umm. what type of harddrive is it?
<2> Toma-, the device manager recognises nothing not even my cpu :) its an intel 945G chiset
<10> davidmoore83: new-ish components?
<2> WD.9 SATAII
<2> yeah newish but not weird components Toma-
<10> davidmoore83: i got new components the other day. turns out the mobo had all sorts of new stuff so i had to update to kernel 2.6.15
<2> intel 945G chipset, intel PD 3.0Ghz chip, WD drives
<10> davidmoore83: give flight 5 live a spin and see if it resolves anything
<2> Toma-, this is a clean updated install
<2> Toma-, flight 5 live?
<10> !flight5
<15> flight5 is, like, totally, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing
<4> lol
<2> Toma-, ahhh alpha or beta dapper?
<3> ok, I'm back, please resend anything for me
<10> if the kernel works and cpu is detected and hopefully the HDD is loaded correctly, then itll be kernel specific, and if its that, then you can easily install a new kernel in breezy
<16> is it safe to upgrade to dapper yet?
<10> davidmoore83: yeh. live dapper. that way if it still doesnt work, you can file a bug and hopefulyl get it fixed by 6-06 :D
<2> Toma-, its a live cd not an install?
<10> PistolPedro: not really. are you prepared to possibly lose data and file bugs?
<10> davidmoore83: yep
<17> davidmoore83, #ubuntu+1 for dapper support
<10> davidmoore83: obviously, only if you get the live version
<16> Toma-, no sir i am not.
<10> :D
<16> Toma-, is it looking like dapper is on for june 1?
<1> arrick: <1> thank god arrick's gone.
<10> PistolPedro: yep
<2> Toma-, will that do a full hardware detect though?
<16> Toma-, ill i be able to just dist-upgrade then without losing data ?
<10> davidmoore83: yep
<10> PistolPedro: yep
<9> I wonder why one of my machines can apt-get transcode, mjpegtools, and subtitleripper and the other cant, I have the exact same apt sources
<10> far out. win2k sux to install in qemu :/
<2> Toma-, cheers i will give it a whirl - and you think if this doesnt detect etc then submit a bug?
<10> davidmoore83: fo shizzle my nizzle.
<10> ;)
<16> Toma-, LOL
<2> cheers Toma- :) need my bed now its 2:30am here :)
<1> davidmoore83: good luck
<10> davidmoore83: and if it does work, id say try gettiung kernel 2.6.15 or .16 for breezy
<2> cheers brenner cheers Toma-
<10> np
<3> Someone was talking to me before I switched pc's, can you link back up with me please?
<18> im having trouble starting realplayer, it says Starting realplayer then it does NOT start
<18> anyone able to help
<16> arrick, whats the problem?
<10> Bowsa: get helixplayer
<16> Bowsa, in terminal type realplayer and pastebin the results
