<0> dudet3: you might be better off asking on freenode or efnet. for some reason undernet linux help channels are prejudiced
<1> for the last ten years, the dumbest questions have been asked by slackware users.
<2> dudet3 - there are no stupid questions, only stupid people that don't read any documentation and spam and spew gibberish that doesn't make sense
<1> i'm not saying thats particularly the case in this instance
<3> i said i'm sorry
<3> jeeze
<1> i'm not talking to you.
<1> i'm addressing the whining by sinthetek
<3> i've had linux for 2 days, and i'm absolutely thrilled.. i'm also not all that patient
<3> sinthetek has been nothing but completely helpfull
<1> dudet3: thats going to be a problem in the long run.
<0> D-side: i wouldn't be whining if i didn't encounter the same thing 123141 times already today. it gets old
<2> dudet3 - it will teach you patience. :)
<1> sinthetek: learn to accept the things you cannot change.
<1> wlfshmn: its your fault i'm in here.
<3> hey sinthetek, when we installed my USB device... is it possible that it was installed as a USB 1 device and not a 2 it seems very slow to transfer
<0> D-side: perhaps you should follow your own advice. there are always going to be slackware users who need help too. why shun people for asking the same questions they'd prolly be asking for any other distro when the answers are the same?
<2> my irc client is confusing me because all of the channels are mixed together
<0> dudet3: not too familiar with usb stuffs, but it might be harddrive related
<4> D-side: My fault?
<3> well its faster in windows
<0> dudet3: try 'hdparm -d <harddrive>'
<4> D-side: Whatever it was, you probably deserved it.
<0> your dma might be off on your harddrive which would mean your harddrive is slower, not your usb drive
<0> does it say dma is off or on?
<1> sinthetek: i never once said my argument was one based on fact.
<3> so like hdparm -d /mnt/usbdev
<1> heres my argument:
<1> f you and everyone else who likes that slackware garbage.
<1> <EOF>
<1> wlfshmn: i was bored and forgot about this channel. :D
<0> dudet3: what drive did you install to? sda or hda?
<4> D-side: I see you are back to your normal smooth and cuddley self ;)
<3> what do you mean?
<1> wlfshmn: its been a LONG time since i was in here being a problem. :D
<3> we installed the USB to SDA i think
<0> dudet3: when you installed linux, did you partition /dev/hda?
<3> yeah
<3> i have hdb1 and hdb2 for lnux drives, one being the swap
<3> oh i see what you mean, you think its maybe my hd not the usbdev
<0> dudet3: ok, hdparm -d /dev/hdb
<3> hmm
<0> if it says 'dma is off', do: hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb
<0> brb
<3> dm = 1 on
<3> is there the same thing for the usb hd?
<0> dudet3: not that i know of, but as i said earlier, i don't know a lot about usb
<3> ok
<3> its no big deal i guess
<3> just seemed like it was more of a usb 1 speed was all
<3> oh hey sinthetek another thing i wanted to do was get my scrolling button on my mouse working
<3> do you know anything about that?
<0> dudet3: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf...
<0> dudet3: search for the string: Driver "mouse"
<0> underneath that, set Option "Protocol" to "IMPS/2" if it isn't already
<3> i don't have a directory xll inside of etc
<3> i'll have to do a search for the file
<0> and under that, add the line: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
<0> dudet3: it's X11 (capital X and 2 ones)
<3> oh lol
<0> ex eleven
<0> :P
<3> lol
<0> did you use this usb drive with windows on the same computer linux is now on or was it a different windows system? if you are talking about it working faster on a different system, it may be that your usb on the linux system is usb1 or the hd on the linux system is slower
<3> hmmm trying to do a search in VI, i thought it was "n" that did that
<0> it's /
<0> /searchstring
<0> in this case, /Mouse
<5> then "n" to find the next occurrence
<0> hrm.. i always just hit /<enter> again :P
<0> /string<enter>/<enter>/<enter>
<0> etc
<0> dudet3: after setting ZAxisMapping, you will need to restart X
<0> wow, kerneltrap has changed quite a bit since i last visited
<0> is this still drupal?
<0> yep, i guess so
<5> sinthetek: oh I should try the enter enter thing
<3> ok thats all done
<3> i'll restart now... hopefully this works or i could be in trouble
<3> lol
<3> brb
<0> i suppose i should have recommended backing it up first :P
<6> wahahahah ****in right
<7> r00t allert
<6> beautifull sinthetek
<6> awesome man
<0> yeah, now that that's done...
<6> wicked man
<0> create a user account and use that to irce from and such
<6> i'm loving life right now
<0> irc*
<6> why?
<6> lol
<3> is that better?
<0> one of the main reasons linux is more secure than windows is that it has only one root user who is only used when necessary
<0> if there is an exploit for xchat, for instance, and you are root i can takeover your entire system
<0> if you are just a regular user, i will only obtain access to your personal files, not the entire system
<8> sinthetek: and the fact that windows is more spread/popular and attractive target for malware
<7> l3ts 0wn h1m !
<3> FT lol
<0> Aciduzzu: even despite that, linux is still way more secure by default configuration and customary practices
<3> searches google for new user command
<0> dudet3: adduser
<7> sinthetek, useradd
<7> :)
<0> BBishop: adduser.
<0> this is slackware, which comes with 'superadduser'
<0> on slackware, the superadduser script/program or whatever is symlinked to 'adduser' instead of 'useradd'
<9> symlinked ?
<7> GODZILLA:~ # ls -la /usr/sbin/useradd
<7> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 102596 May 2 2006 /usr/sbin/useradd
<7> ( that's on SUSE )
<9> that would mean it'd have to call useradd with some parameters
<2> i have adduser and useradd on debian and they're both different
<2> it confuses me :(
<9> symlinking allows you that when you execute something with parameters
<7> [12:38:59] root@d3xt3r01 ~ > ls -la /usr/sbin/useradd
<7> -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 68836 Dec 6 08:50 /usr/sbin/useradd
<7> this is on fedora
<0> adduser is a script that prompts you to add all /etc/p***wd fields and prompts for p***
<9> make it execute another thing with another parameter ?
<10> BBishop... Loves Slackware. Slackware is your *friend*
<11> I never understood why there needs to be useradd AND adduser =/
<7> [12:38:54] root@d3xt3r01 ~ > ls -la /usr/sbin/adduser
<7> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 12 02:40 /usr/sbin/adduser -> useradd
<7> Dranoel, DIEEE !!! >:)
<0> BBishop: is that slackware? ok then.
<10> Hahaha. Don't hate what you don't understand. =)
<11> Dranoel, move along, thank you
<0> superadduser is easier to use since it automatically creates /home/user and prompts for p***word and /etc/p***wd fields and groups
<2> dranoel, are you draenei?
<0> that is what slackware uses for 'adduser' by default
<7> sinthetek, so .. two distros .. "useradd" is the stuff ! >:)
<10> bryan... No.
<0> regular adduser/useradd requires looking up flags and such
<7> hehehe
<0> if you don't already know them*
<3> hmm what else to install
<3> ok what about flash and that kind of stuff for browsing webpages
<12> what about it?
<3> is there a specific version for linux?
<12> a couple
<0> dudet3: wget http://www2.linuxpackages.net/packages/Slackware-11.0/ken/flash-player-9.0.21.78-i486-1kjz.tgz && pkgtool install flash*.tgz
<3> what is wget
<3> web get or something
<0> isn't it obvious?
<7> man wget and see silly
<3> thats going to grab it right from the internerd right
<3> from the konsol i mean
<0> ok, you are getting tedious. use google and man pages and /var/log
