<0> bronaugh: Heh, you managed to wreck your handlebar?
<1> Coma: either that or it was bent when I got the bike.
<1> which is possible.
<2> mmmm.
<1> friend of mine (who would know what he's talking about regarding such things said he thought that was the kind of thing that would break a person's legs.
<1> force required to bend the handlebars.
<1> pretty short, 3 or 5 degree aluminum bars
<0> Or someone hit it with a truck
<1> pretty much, yeah.
<1> I know the bike the bar came off though. the frame is steel.
<1> and nothing was bent -that- way.
<1> though there were some bad things going on with the fork.
<3> hey guys .. can someone tell me the command to open a port on linux?
<4> how i add an user on my server but to have the dir /home/user, because if i type useradd user the dir /home/user dosen't exist ?
<3> Raduc mkdir /home/user and then chown user /home/user .. manual add :))
<5> Linky: for the record, useradd has options to create the user's home directory and such. man useradd
<5> good morning, everyone
<3> ".."hown user /home/user .. manual add :))
<3> that i said
<0> Or like I said in some other channel, use adduser ;)
<0> Morning, sinthetek
<3> Coma i said here
<3> upper
<5> yeah, i saw that... just thought maybe you should have suggested to him to use the proper way
<3> :P
<3> hes gone now :))
<5> since if he reads the man page useradd can create/set other stuff than home dir
<5> and he won't have to come asking how to add/set it later :P
<5> anyway though, no offense intended
<3> i know :)
<6> what is ralf pastebin?
<0> Some pastbin made by Ralf?
<6> yeah
<6> pastebin.com really s*ck nowadays
<0> Plenty alternatives available
<6> somebody posted ralfs pastebin here, i forgot the links =(
<0> Kuto: Don't you mean rafb? http://rafb.net/paste/
<7> heya peeps
<7> anyone know the key combination to change view on a dell kvm?
<0> I think it's ctrl-printscreen
<0> Or atleast something with printscreen ;)
<7> ya i got it
<7> but thanks
<5> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/07/03/asteroid_miss/
<8> sinthetek stop pasting :P
<5> no way, that's important stuff
<0> Oh, it's got tits in it then?
<5> people should be working on terraforming and stuff rather than blowing other countries up
<5> haha
<0> But blowing stuff up is so mcuh fun! :P
<8> :)
<8> good point there Coma :D
<0> Especially when it concerns your neighbours ;)
<5> i totally don't understand people's reasoning
<0> sinthetek: Looks around you, reason is exactly what's missing
<5> like if i mention colonization of moon or mars or something being more important than war budget
<5> everyone says they'd rather die than live in a bubble anyway
<8> wouldn`t you ?
<5> no
<5> i rarely leave my room anyway, heh
<8> :))
<0> War budget ought to be spend to make beer cheaper, imho
<5> besides, a bubble can be pretty big
<8> depends ..
<8> how much money are you willing to spend:)
<5> and can you imagine the view of the cosmos with no atmosphere? :P
<9> any linux helpers available?
<8> Wise-Guy : ASK
<10> someone who can help with gnuworld around please?
<0> Wise-Guy: Nope, they all left early today
<8> :))
<9> ok, here's the situation, i got two computers here, on windows and one linux.
<9> the linux one is connected to the internet thru a DSL modem and an ethernet card (eth1)
<8> and u wanna connect the windows one to the linux one
<9> the other computer, the windows one, is connected to this one with a crossover lan cable (eth0)
<9> it's already connected, according to some things
<9> but can't see this computer or connect to the internet
<9> it can be pinged from this computer
<9> and the windows computer is aware that it's connected to a network
<9> there is some small activity on the connection
<9> what i need, is settings help, to let the other computer thru to the internet
<5> Wise-Guy: see the ip masquerade howto from tldp.org
<9> sinthetek, did
<9> that not workin
<5> Wise-Guy: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
<5> does that return 0 or 1?
<9> i'm one of those don't know nothin' about comptuters kinda guys
<9> returns an 0
<8> heh ;)
<9> i've convinced myself that there's a box or something in the system administrator network tools or networking that i could just tell to let the other computer thru
<9> if i only knew where to find it, and what to tell it
<5> Wise-Guy: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
<9> i have written down all the applicable IP's and netmasks stuff
<9> bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: Permission denied
<9> i should let you know that i don't ever expect to understand command line instructions
<9> let alone the answers it gives
<5> Wise-Guy: also, if you are using a pre-written firewall/NAT script, you might want to switch your networking cables or switch eth0 and eth1 throughout the script
<9> i'm trying to work around the command lines as much as possible
<9> sinthetek, somebody else said that too
<9> would that help?
<9> an arguement broke out as soon as the last person said it
<9> then they all got pissy about me being an ignoramus
<5> generally eth0 is the primary ethernet interface and is what gets connected to the internet
<9> oh, ok
<5> so a script that ***umes that when it isn't true won't help you much
<5> and you need to be logged in as root to change stuff in /proc
<9> if i do that, i'm gonna have to redo the sudo pppoeconf thing to reconnect
<9> i hope it works
<9> if it works, i'll brb
<7> I've been playing about with sed, i was hoping that this code would replace a whole line
<7> sed -ir 's/^SkipHosts/SkipHosts="127.0.0.1 localhost REGEX[^213\.120\.110]"/' test
<7> That begins with SkipHosts
<7> is there something missing from my regexp that says match everything after the term or something?
<5> i **** with regex, sorry
<7> there's probably something in sed to specify to replace the whole line
<9> ok, changeover was sucessful
<9> i made a note of a couple of things that may be relevent
<9> one of them, that concerns me, is that this: lee@lee-desktop:~$ sudo pppoeconf
<9> P***word:
<9> Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
<0> gileswgmun: Above anything else, you'd want to start with s/^SkipHosts.*$/
<9> is the only way i know to connect to the internet
<9> the connect to internet thing dosen't work at all
<9> under places
<9> hi
<9> sorry to barge in talking like that
<9> i got all excited
<5> did you echo 1 to ip_forward *as root* like i suggested?
<9> not yet
<9> i forget how to become root
<9> will sudo do?
<5> yes
<9> ok, so to make sure i have it right, sudo echo1 to ip_forward ?
<0> Actually, no. Either use su to become root, or run sudo echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
<9> coma, ok, i'll copy and paste that
<5> i ***umed he meant the latter
<5> my b if he didn't
<0> Wise-Guy: Um, be careful with what you're doing and don't just copy everything you get told by strangers
<9> ok, i did that
<0> Before you know it you might end up with a shiny, empty harddrive
<9> it said permission denied
<9> so i remembered how to become root with the su -thing you said
<9> and did that, and rentered the thing without the sudo
<9> and it said nothing at all, just came back up to the prompt
<9> does that mean something worked?
<0> Yup, that's good
<9> cool, more progress
