<0> i was looking at the dvd burning faq and it said that it was cuz some dvd+rs are incompatible with linux *shrug*
<0> yeah, linux+k3b worked fine with the 8x memorex dvd+rs we got last time :\
<0> we decided to go ahead and get a spool of 16x's and i can't get a single one to even complete burning
<0> it starts and sits at 0% for a few min and then the computer locks up (with k3b)
<1> you sure your burner can handle 16x?
<0> cd/dvdrecord just gives the incompatible media error and exits
<1> you'd think it could at least write at 8x on a 16x disk
<0> nah, it will burn the dvds from windows
<0> well, crappy video dvds anyway, heh
<0> my mom has bought two dvd burning programs for windows already
<0> and they both have crappy quality, few options and no interface/options for burning data dvds
<0> i will try with windows explorer though, i think you're right gc
<0> i went to try with windows media player a few minutes ago and it stopped responding before i'd even gone through the menu toolbar
<1> ouch
<2> how do i install a .deb file?
<2> please help me
<2> how do i install a .deb file?
<3> noriyuki: google/linux for "how do i install a .deb file?" would tell you on the first hit
<3> look T http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Installing_Packages0.shtml
<2> thanx
<4> noriyuki, something like apt-install
<2> apt-get-install?
<5> That's dpkg -i.
<2> i got a new problem with that command
<2> when i enter that code it appear on the display
<2> dpkg: the operation needs a super user
<2> or something like that
<2> i dont know
<6> that message kinda speaks for itself
<7> you need to be root to do it
<2> what is tobe root
<7> virtually all critical jobs rquire root access
<7> root is the administrator
<2> u mean administrator?
<7> god as far as the box is concerned
<2> ahh
<2> yes but i am the admin
<7> if you just built the box, you had to put in a root p***word
<2> curs
<2> i have it
<7> so u are in your user account not root
<7> you type su -
<7> and give the p***word, then dpkg will run
<2> jejejeje can u xplain again but more u know
<2> ok its done
<2> thankx
<2> ermm thing2
<2> i dont know wut is happening cuz i type my p*** and it says aunthetification failure
<2> authentication failure
<2> thing2
<0> insight?
<7> so either u typed wrong, or you dont know thw root p***word
<7> in which case rebuilding the box is probably the easiest course
<8> hello.
<9> hi all, how can use a regexp with var characters like $/%() etc in an sed command w/o having to enter \ before each character?
<8> I'm have access to net thru pppoe (mac +user&p***) and a real ip (80.90..). Can I make my box a pppoe server and give someone access to internet?
<9> i tried " and ' around the regexp but no luck
<8> anyone familiar with pppoe?
<9> ' is used by sed command already to begin the cmd, and " doesnt apply to $ and such (ie its not an absolute)
<9> is using \ before each special character the only way?
<10> muchacho: you dont, ' is used by the shell, not sed , the \ you use is used by sed , to make the diff between a ( and the real char (
<10> muchacho: all you can do is avoid ascaping \ , by using something other than / for the separation eg : sed sAfooAbarA
<10> erm, avoid escaping / , of course :p
<9> ok i tried using : instead of / and it says unterminated regexp error
<1> did you try single quotes ('')?
<10> what did you type
<9> i tried single quotes but sed -e ' .... is how the command begins so that messes it up i think
<1> right, would get all wierd
<10> *think* is the key here :p
<11> how can i see at what speed my ethernet links ? under slack 10.2 ?
<10> do not try some weird combination of \ " ' etc without knowing why you should use them :p
<1> mii-tool
<10> you use ' to ask the shell to _not_ interpret the argument , you use " " to make the string a single argument , you use \ to not interprate the folowing char (both in bash and sed
<11> linux_terror thanks
<1> LittleJ, np :)
<9> my cmd is similar to sed -e ':/dir/$(date +\%d\%m)$(echo $HOSTNAME) | cut -d. -f1).tar:s:/home;:/home/mydir /home/mydir2;:' /file > newfile
<10> muchacho: so you cant not use a \ before any char used by sed , this includes ( ) $ ^ etc
<9> the \ used above are not to escape the % characters, but are actually part of the regexp
<10> then use \\
<9> actually everything above is the literal characters, ever / $ % ; | and .
<9> only the : is used as an sed seperator
<10> yes, but you must escape them
<9> ok i understand, my question was is there any way to avoid 20 \ characters in the cmd?
<9> i thought perhaps some absolute quoting of some kind?
<10> and to add to the mess, if you use [] you dont always need to use \ :p , but i dont remember how/when :p
<9> hmmmm so perhaps [] is what i need?
<12> Yo both of my hard drives have disappeared, is there any way to format them onto linux without raping my hard drive of all of it's glory
<12> I'm on a knoppix type
<10> but it's worse, it will look like date[ ][+][\][%]d ..
<10> muchacho: and what about adding the \ , with sed before processing it ? :p
<9> something like sed -e ':[/dir/$(date +\%d\%m)$(echo $HOSTNAME) | cut -d. -f1).tar]:s:[/home;]:[/home/mydir /home/mydir2;]:' /file > newfile
<10> nononono, [] is used as a set of char [a-z] for example
<9> oh god no, that is indeed worse!
<10> but [a] is equivalent to a :p
<9> what did you mean adding \ before processing?
<9> so [abc] is not = abc then?
<10> ho but, wait, you dont have to escape ( ) in fact :p
<10> no [abc] means a or b or c
<9> crap
<9> the cmd i gave you is only about 25% of the special characters and length.
<9> and its only 1 of the cmds
<9> i'll have to use sed to make the sed cmnd!
<10> i was thinking about something like sed -e 's/\(\$|\\|\somemoreescapedchar\)/\\&/'
<10> then you sed -e "$(the previous sed command) :p
<10> this is becoming ugly :p
<10> (and add a g at the and of the first sed command) , and i dont know if the a|b|c is accepted in sed , and you need to man sed to know which chars need escaping :p
<13> What's the sed guy trying to achieve here -- and why ?
<8> 3 PCs, 1 net connection and 1 connection to a LAN (just dc++), 2 routers, and 1 switchs. Now my question: Can all 3 PCs acces internet while having access to other LAN?
<10> (and the \( \) is useless too , )
<13> 3 computers, 2 networks -- I don't see a problem so far.
<8> *sighs*
<8> so?
<10> the answer is yes :p
<8> great:P
<13> Mike4sho: I'd configure a linux box to do what I wanted it to do... you seem to be doing something slightly different...
<13> I guess one of those two routers is some kind of ADSL+DHCP+NAT thing... ?
<9> kittenbot i'm just learning sed really - i could just edit the file and achieve the same thing but i figured its a good chance to learn and try in real world scenario
<13> All 3 computers, and both routers are connected to the switch ?
<9> so my fate is i have to use 50 \ characters basically; no universal everything in btwn these characters is to be taken literally solution, right?
<8> yes
<8> 1 router for each connection, and the switch connects all of them (PCs and routers)
<9> i dont need a /g cause its only the first instance (like there's 2 instances of something this crazy) i;m subbing
<10> muchacho: yup but if you use a first sed command to automagically add \ , then you need g :p
<13> muchacho: That sounds about right -- if you're trying to write a regular-expression to match *symbols*, then you have to be careful that those symbols aren't special symbols that need to be escaped in order to make them behave just like ordinary characters...
<8> kittenbot what should I do?
<10> muchacho: also i suggest you learn sed by starting wiht an easier problem :p
<0> erm... wtf does this mean? [04/Apr/2006:13:36:50 -0400] "\x80g\x01\x03" 501 215 "-" "-"
<10> looks like wierd smileys
<0> from my apache log
<0> haha, yeah
<0> i just googled for it
<8> and let's say I could get net acces thru that LAN too, so I'd use it for back-up.
<0> and it came up with a lil rainbow around the date
<9> now now i can insult my intelligence perfectly well on my own :p
<13> Mike4sho: Configure your machines to send all packets destined for the internet to the router that deals with that, and all packets destined for the lan to the other router...
<12> yo
<12> can someone help me
<14> hello
<13> Mike4sho: Make sure that your only have one DHCP server on your little 3 machine network...
<14> i need help with my dhcpd.conf config
<10> YeahNO: ask a question
<10> lokoit: ask a question
<14> is it ok to ***ign two ip addresses in eth0 and add that subnet inside my dhcpd.conf?
<14> dhcpd: Interface eth0 matches multiple shared netwo rks
<14> i got that message in my /var/log/messages but the dhcpd wont run
<9> T`aZ i did start with simpler sed stuff which led to this, and it all makes sense actually but i just wanted to avoid the 50 \ thing. oh well. death, taxes and now \
<9> btw i can still use : as my seperator right? even with all the \ entries.
<10> muchacho: yes
<8> can anyone help me out with some explications?
<15> on what?
