<0> anyway, time to finish cleaning somewhat
<1> mwilson: and as an aside what should i do if my display only goes to 800x600 under linux yet can do 1024x768 at 32-bit color under windows?
<2> Hi all
<2> Hey Wintermute21, are you using the correct video driver and settings in your X config file?
<1> killroy: i believe so but i could be wrong
<2> hey it's an easy thing to overlook!
<2> I cut my teeth on lesser distros back in the day and man was it a pain!
<1> very true in that case i'll havta do some hard googling
<2> Ubuntu makes it a lead pipe cinch!
<2> what video card are you running?
<1> Killroy: an Intel 82845G
<3> <sigh> Another Ubuntu salesman.
<2> LOL so what distro are you running mwilson?
<2> hmm I don't know if a video driver exists for that hardware but hey it can't hurt to look!
<1> Killroy: and i run Fedora btw
<2> so my question is: does anyone use a firewall on their linux box and if so, what are you running?
<4> Killroy1971: iptables
<1> iptables
<3> Killroy1971: Uh, what else is there besides iptables?
<4> ipchains
<2> true, however there are a bunch of frontends to iptables
<3> Killroy1971: So?
<4> Killroy1971: It's all still iptables
<2> so I was wondering if anyone ran a frontend
<3> Killroy1971: If you want to troll about front-ends, then ask people what front-end they use.
<2> right, my mistake :)
<3> I'm sure we're all about to get treated to how wonderful whatever you use is.
<2> I could do so, but it's not as entertaining as your cynicism mwilson
<4> http://www.ascendtech.us/customkititems.asp?kc=DTPCA643500PC Worth the money?
<3> Considering that 99.9% of Linux cluebies don't need anything more complicated than "let nothing in, let everything I do out", the proliferation of front-ends, and their pushing onto said cluebies, is more than a little entertaining.
<2> reality: I'd up the memory to at least 512, the rest it dependent on what you want to do with the system
<2> so you're strictly a command line gut mwilson?
<4> Killroy1971: Already got the memory sitting right here...as well as the HD.
<4> The motherboard blew up last night.
<3> Killroy1971: I am? Why don't I know that?
<5> i'll look and give you a real answer reality
<4> And I figure it's about $50 more for a complete system then to replace the entire system
<3> Killroy1971: And what does that have to do with iptables front-ends?
<4> s/entire system/motherboard
<3> I think I'd stay away from a PC vendor that found it necessary to differentiate between memory and "major brand" memory.
<5> reality: this for the purpose i think its for?
<4> mwilson: I already have the memory
<4> D-side: Yeah
<3> reality: Perhaps, but it's a statement about the rest of the parts.
<6> i am trying to send a file via scp from my linux to windows box (scp file.name username@111.111.111.111:(what do i put here)
<6> what do i put after the :
<3> ECS, of course, is always near the bottom of the barrel.
<6> for a windows box?
<3> patrick-: What makes you think your Windows box is running a sshd?
<5> ecs may be cheap but i've never had a problem with any of them.
<6> windows uses drives like C and D, but if i put /home/... it does not work
<4> mwilson: My logic is that the motherboard here is definitely blown. However, if anything else happened to go with it, then at least I can get the system up and running again
<1> mwilson: found new drivers i did compile then i will
<6> i'm not using windows
<3> [16:09] <6> i am trying to send a file via scp from my linux to windows
<3> box
<6> i am trying to send to a windows box and i know that the person has ssh installed on it
<3> You're not?
<4> I haven't had a problem with ecs either
<6> i can ssh into the box and navigate directories
<7> reality: if you want something that will almost definitely fail, get an ECS board, the majority of EcS boards at fry's electronics have been returned and I've had a few die
<6> but i need to send a file to it with scp
<7> they're pieces of ****
<6> like i said, their box had C:\ and stuff
<5> reality: its cheap as hell.
<5> the parts dont seem altogether that bad.
<4> D-side: That it is
<6> i'm by no means a windows person so i need to put something after my the ":" for windows
<4> Most of the ASUS boards I'm seeing are all via chipsets
<5> i'd say what you're getting probably equals in value to you no more than what you'd pay, but certainly not less either. i'd do it.
<6> i tried a windows chat group, but no one there know anything about ssh or scp!
<7> I stick to mostly asus boards with nvidia chipsets these days
<6> i guess i will google some more then
<6> maybe i will find some kind of windows support out there
<4> libolt: They make a microATX nforce board?
<5> reality: sure.
<7> I believe so, though I've not looked yet.
<4> Doh, $207 just for the board+cpu
<7> I've been thinking of moving my media/mythtv box to a micro atx case, so perhaps I shoudl look
<5> libolt: why?
<5> surely you dont use it as a frontend also?
<4> D-side: All of my **** runs off of one box
<7> D-side: yeah it does both purposes, but the storage for files is handled by the file server now
<5> i've just got the one multipurpose box.
<5> it just happens to be next to the tv.
<4> What about Gigabyte or MSI boards?
<3> Gigabyte not so bad... MSI is ECS or worse.
<7> yeah mine sits next to the tv too, I'd just like to reduce the size of it
<5> pfeh.
<5> theres nothing wrong with most msi boards. they've been a few pieces of **** (a long time ago), but i've had a few that have been top notch.
<5> including the one i'm using right now.
<5> hell, i had a lemon of an asus board that i switched out for this msi.
<4> All but one of the gigabyte boards run a via chipset that I ssee
<5> i had a gigabyte motherboard once. it was a pile of ****.
<5> but that was a LONG time ago, and i've got a gigabyte video card i like now.
<4> Best board I have is an asrocks board
<5> heh.
<5> solid as hell, and cheap as ****
<5> usually its the same for ecs for me.
<7> isn't asrock a low end asus brand?
<4> libolt: Yep
<6> nerver mind, i figured it out. i just did this.....scp file.name someone@111.111.111.111:file.name (did not specify the windows directory structure)
<6> as per normal, thanks for all the help from #Linux
<6> that places the file in the default user account directory
<5> reality: i never knew that.
<6> if anyone knows, however, how to specify a windows directory, it may be handy
<4> I got it in my main machine. The daw
<4> The media center is also getting an in-wall 7 inch touch screen
<5> <golfclap>
<4> And then, I'm probably putting this place on the market
<7> I've been very happy with my asus a8n-sli deluxe board for my main machine, I know it only does SLI at 8x instead of 16x, but I'm never planning on using SLI anyways
<5> tv and all?
<4> Yeah, media center goes with the loft
<5> interesting.
<5> gonna sell them support for it too? :)
<4> **** no
<8> http://karlsbakk.net/fun/ugly-hint.txt
<4> Which is why I don't mind using cheapo components for this
<5> reality: OH
<5> well **** that, why bother?
<4> why bother fixing it in general?
<5> yeah. cant you make do with your workstation or something?
<8> thanks
<5> esp if you're bailing soon
<4> The media center is connected to the projection system. It helps to sell a place if you have it all working.
<4> I mean...what am I supposed to say, "Yeah, there's a multimedia system here...it just doesn't play anything or do anything."
<4> But hey, it's there
<5> i'm surprised you're leaving it all there.
<5> **** em. let them put an MCE box in there.
<4> Do you have any idea how much money I'm getting off of this place?
<5> no idea whatsoever.
<4> Around $120,000
<4> That's on the low end
<5> so what are you going to buy afterwards?
<4> I have my eye on a nice building
<5> a condo you mean?
<4> No, an entire building
<5> you'll have to forgive my shock. that wont buy you **** around here.
<9> heh
<5> hell, good for you.
<4> D-side: I'm using the $120,000 as a down payment and around $75,000 fixing it up
<4> Going to be 6 loft units
<5> ah, gotcha.
<5> landlord mode eh?
<4> No, flip that as well
<5> been watching many episodes of Flip this House? :)
<4> Pfft. I've been doing this for about 7 years now
<4> I'm never in the same place for more than a year or two
<5> ah, i didnt know.
<4> I've only been in this loft for 1 year and 1 month
<4> My previous condo I sold for $27,000 straight profit
