<0> Our policy is we don't help with outdated machines
<1> wtf
<2> outdated installations? or hardware?
<1> this is fascism
<0> Riviera_: It's insecure to be running a distro that's extremely outdated.
<2> aah
<2> reality: sorry, i thought you were talking about hardware
<0> flush: That's life.
<2> :)
<1> i like to be insecure
<0> flush: We don't.
<3> well, it's not quite so
<3> old dosen't necessarily mean insecure
<1> so like youre only explanation to my problem ive been askin for minutes is "upgrade your whole system"
<1> awesome
<0> madbovine: With Mandrake, it certainly does
<0> flush: ln -s /etc/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6.0 /usr/lib/libSM.so.6
<1> /etc/X11R6 doest exist here
<0> Errr... /usr/X11R6/
<1> kk
<0> Or reinstall the libSM6 package
<1> didnt work, but why then can i boot "gnome-terminal" as root with no problem
<1> i bet its not the libSM6 pacakge otherwise it wouldnt boot as root neither
<0> Can you start anything else in gnome?
<1> dunno.. im using fluxbox
<1> like gcalk
<3> flush: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib; gnome-terminal
<0> madbovine: I'm thinking Xauth issues
<1> cool now it complains about another file i have, gnome-terminal: error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
<1> but youre right.. i cant open any gnome application
<1> they all complain about some file i have, like right now
<0> How did you install fluxbox?
<1> hrmmmmm
<1> from the source probably
<3> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/lib/qt3/lib:/usr/lib; gnome-terminal
<0> flush: That's the problem you get when you install packages from source
<4> flush, ldconfig
<0> linux_terror: Been through that already
<3> if it complains further, track down the offending shared object and place its directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
<4> darn lol
<3> *if* /etc/ld.so.conf has a proper list of directories, ldconfig should do the job
<0> madbovine: Unless ldconfig has already been compromised
<1> reality: wtf
<1> k gimme sec
<3> why would *ldconfig* be compromised
<1> thats what im wondering
<0> madbovine: It's always a possibility
<1> cauz i compiled from source, probably... (wtf)
<3> anyhow, that's one thing i don't get about rootkits and such. if you want to harvest a box and use it for whatever evil purpose you want, why render it unusable or generally cause the compromise to be noticed?
<0> flush: On an rpm based machine, installing from source can cause issues with such things as Xauth, library paths, etc.
<0> madbovine: It doesn't render the box useless for the simple matter that you can always specify a library using non-universal PATHs
<1> wtf
<1> my permissions are screwed..
<3> nah i'm not talking of ldconfig there, just generally
<1> [root@h4xb0x root]# chmod -R 777 /usr/bin/vi
<1>
<1> flush@h4xb0x:~$ /usr/bin/vi
<1> bash: /usr/bin/vi: Permission denied
<3> flush: wtf are you doing?
<1> no -R
<1> man im tryin to get my crap workin
<1> i dont know if its cauz my hdd is almost dead... but im having seriious technical problems nowadays
<3> well, you don't set permissions to 777 if you want things working
<1> 777 gives me access thats a fact, and it says i dont have permission
<2> well
<0> madbovine: Well, in general, with a rootkit, you're generally looking to cause the root user to do something that will cause them to use a particular program that causes a normal user's gain
<2> i wouldnt wander if vi wouldnt execute being world-writeable ;)
<3> that's another oddity that gains one more point to reality's compromise hypothesis
<2> i would just check why vi doesnt execute
<1> i have no idea
<2> strace it
<1> flush@h4xb0x:~$ su
<1> bash: /bin/su: Permission denied
<1> I SEE......
<2> how could you chmod vi without being root?
<1> like maybe i just took of my permisson to the su utility? no way i did this
<1> i was
<0> Riviera_: He was root
<2> ah, i saw in backlog
<2> :)
<0> Riviera_: Notice the #
<2> reality: yes, scrolled up
<1> but now i cant log as root anymore
<1> lmao
<3> well ok, proven this is screwed up, take the time and reinstall
<1> rofl, yea bios has been complaning about SMART possible imminent failure of my hdd..
<2> in dmesg?
<1> maybe its why im having such hard times
<1> no when i boot up computer
<2> i see
<2> well.
<2> proven is nothing.
<5> ah huh. then when you get a chance, upgrade the hard disk.
<1> yea im brigning it back to tha store
<2> is it the box you're being in IRC with right now?
<1> affirmative
<5> S.M.A.R.T. is there for a reason
<2> :)
<1> yea ive been readin i have "from minutes to months" before hdd dies
<1> but i gotta act quick, so ill do..
<0> flush: reboot
<3> back up all your porn and other important files
<3> _then_ reboot
<1> i cant, its 200gb
<0> Then reboot and see if it fixes things
<0> Take your chances
<1> aight, be right back if it boots
<1> affirmative
<1> "brb"
<1> if god wants..
<6> hello can ask a question
<0> Don't ask to ask
<6> what shall I do if ./configure command does not work
<0> sancaca: What is the error?
<6> it says bash: ./configure: no such file or directory
<0> Then ./configure isn't in the directory you're in
<0> sancaca: What distro and what are you trying to install?
<6> im configuring nagios
<0> distro?
<7> A distro is, perhaps, one of the following: CentOS, Debian, Gentoo, LFS, Mandrake, Red Hat/Fedora, Slackware and SuSE (in alphabetical order), but can be something else too. a "Distribution"
<6> where directory I can execute the ./configure command
<0> sancaca: Answer my questions
<0> sancaca: What distro are you using?
<6> Centos
<0> sancaca: download the rpm
<6> where can I download it?
<0> sancaca: Nagios' homepage
<0> Get the redhat enterprise rpm
<2> centos doesnt have nagios rpms included?
<0> it might
<0> sancaca: try installing it with yum
<2> sancaca: "yum search nagios", i guess
<6> after I download the rpm... can I execute the command?
<6> sorry guys im a newbies in linux
<8> hi all
<2> sancaca: which command? the configure command?
<0> sancaca: Try "yum search nagios"
<6> yup... the configure command
<6> ok thanks..
<6> have a nice a day to all
<0> sancaca: Read the Centos documents on yum and rpm
<9> night
<10> anyone know of a program to convert directory listings to html?
<2> links, lynx
<2> apache
<2> shell oneliners
<2> there are probably far more beautiful solutions too :)
<10> i'm trying to generate an html listing of my ftp server
<2> do you know any scripting language and a bit html?
<10> yes but i'm looking for a shortcut
<2> well then sorry
