<0> yeah, which'd probably mess up everything else.
<1> hehe - true
<2> bronaugh: Compile from source and throw everything into /opt
<0> reality: no thanks, I choose not to run slackware.
<2> bronaugh: Doesn't make your system into slackware. Just insures that that program won't be b0rked after an apt-get update
<2> That's what I do for things that I can't afford to be b0rked...like mythtv on the media center and ffmpeg for transcoding, etc.
<1> interesting approach...
<2> Imagine coming home from work one night, wanting to just relax for a bit and tube out and woops! No more media center because of last night's update.
<1> heh - I don't trust auto-updates nowadays - I run a cron script to let me know when updates are available so I can oversee what it's doing
<2> I auto update for the sake of convenience.
<2> Everything that's important on the machine is compiled from source and in /opt so it's not going anywhere
<1> That kind of defeats the purpose of prepackaged security updates though....
<2> Not particularly
<2> It's not like I'm taking the core system and throwing it in /opt
<2> Only a few things.
<3> Its been a while since I have compiled anything... Running debian makes it hardly necessary... Used to run slak in the early days.
<1> well... I guess it depends on what you're throwing in /opt - as long as there aren't server components there ...
<2> All I run is debian based systems
<1> same
<1> Used to run RH systems but realized what a crapshoot the RPM system was...
<4> RPM isn't bad if you take care of it. Gently.
<3> Hi awpti... That nick sounds familiar.
<1> yeah ... well... I think I'll stick with apt...
<4> rikki, i've been in and out of irc for ~11 years now.
<4> i used to hang out in here 5-6 years ago -all- the time.
<3> Yep...
<3> I just returned
<5> hello all... been a long time since I last visited :)
<3> after 6 odd years
<4> i don't recognize your name. were you one of the quiet lurkers? :)
<3> Op here
<4> still not familiar :p
<3> And again noew
<3> From NZ
<3> Back in JoshuaGo days
<4> i vaguely remember josh. hmm
<6> hola
<6> when i use find and xargs to feed input into a wget <site> -O command, i get unsupported scheme for all but the first entry in the find output
<3> Kiora from NZ
<6> what am i missing here, already using -print0 with find and -0 with xargs
<6> cmd i use is: find /dir/ -name "filename" -print0 | xargs -0 wget siteaddress -O
<6> people still come on here and ask to ask?
<3> No need to ask to ask
<3> Out of my league but my first thought is that cmd does not look right
<6> agreed, but i saw it in the banner
<6> not look right means ...?
<3> find /dir/ -name "filename" -print0 | xargs -0 > wget siteaddress -O but only a guess
<6> it does work with the first entry of the find output, just not the remaining ones
<7> Hello. My 2.1 Ghz HP computer bios doesn't support booting from USB. I have an external USB HD that I want to use to boot Linux. What can I do? Thanks
<6> so it must be the format or the seperator that the output provides to xargs?
<6> buy an ide?
<3> The only thing I can suggest is to run seperatly to check... But you prolly allready doing that by the looks
<7> I think it's possible to use a floppy just to get things going, and then load the USB drive, but I haven't found clear instructions on this
<7> I was wondering about "Syslinux" or something similar
<7> I guess it doesn't ring a bell with anyone; stumped the panel ? ;)
<3> ShrinkRap: Yep stumped me
<7> Well, thanks anyway; good night all.
<6> sorry got d/c
<6> rikki did you respond already? if so i missed it
<3> Sorry you have got me stumped.. My last comment was.
<3> The only thing I can suggest is to run seperatly to check... But you prolly allready doing that by the looks
<6> yeah, the prob is with wget i think now.
<3> Write it up in a script and chech the output
<6> cause i did same cmd but with echo and it worked
<6> so wget must not like getting input seperated by spaces or null characters?
<3> Maybe it has something to do with std error/out
<6> what are other ways to get wget to process a list of entries produced by find?
<6> how do you get find to list results as one per line instead of all as one line?
<3> Maybe swap things around and try piping and < > sort of thing
<3> Using the std variables to break uo std in/out and std err
<3> uo = up
<6> hmm not sure what you mean yet.
<3> I am checking a book... Unix Shells by example
<6> if i have a file with a list of the inputs, how would i pipe each input to wget?
<6> thats really all i care about
<1> line by line ?
<6> doesnt work, tried with wget -O `cat x`
<6> same result
<6> and x has the inputs on seperate lines
<6> of course find produces same output
<6> its wget thats the problem i think
<1> cat x | while read line; do wget "${line}"; done
<1> or something like that
<6> good idea, will try now.
<3> Maybe useing a different shell...
<1> well.. that's bash... what shell are you using?
<1> honestly - my own solution would be to create a perl script to deal with it
<6> ummm whats wrong with bash?
<1> hehe - too much reading of "Unix Shells by example"
<6> hehe
<6> ok it worked and i understand how and all. but tell me, why would you prefer a perl script?
<6> i dont know perl but curious why you'd rather that than a one line shell cmd
<1> because I'm a lousy bash scripter
<1> ;)
<1> I just happened to have that one saved in a snippet file
<6> oh. ok fair enough. i am too!
<6> snippets. gotta love em.
<1> yup
<6> or other ppl's snippets anyway.
<1> well - as long as one learns something from them then it's not a wasted exercise
<6> hey what would you guys use to make manuals for novice users for stuff like how to install apache, how to setup your wifi pcmcia card, etc? want to provide instructions + sample bash lines
<8> find /dir/ -name blah -exec wget {} \;
<6> i like how ppl have some of the manuals online (how to setup your mail server using postfix+maia+whatever) etc.
<1> tldp.org
<6> not sure if they go straight to html or if there is oss specifically for such needs?
<1> yeah... I believe it's based off an intermediary for different output types ... just trying to recall the name of the prog...
<6> do i search for manual maker or manual tool or something on tldp.org?
<6> nekhbet thats a nice one too.
<1> tldp has several docs along the line of what you're asking
<1> docbook - that's that name of it
<6> oh ok, tldp is a good example then, i'm looking to make my own, not just use other ones, docbook, ok
<1> g'night - time for me to get some sleep b4 work ...
<6> ditto, gracias
<6> can find -name look for lines with 2 words/phrases?
<6> ie use as an and statement?
<9> example
<9> hrm
<9> Not sure. 'man find' should tell you though
<6> it didnt say it could so wanted to make sure
<9> oh
<9> Idunno man.
<6> its cool i just used grep
<9> yeah that's what I'd do heh
<6> nite people
<10> find -name \(one\|two\three\)
<10> Won't that work?
<9> Lillian: Dan, may I know that shall I arrange a call right now.
<9> Jesus.
<11> and like usual, tojoe is working
<12> Hello everyboby
<12> need some help
<12> it is possible to acces from an internal network both the internet and another private network?
<12> or i need to maintain two internal networks, each with a clear destination: internet or connction to the internal network
<12> thanks
<3> check out route cmnd
<3> man route
<12> at this moment all my packets are routed to the internet network, even if i "ping" the other internal network
<12> thank you rikki
<12> i'll check
<3> There will already be a route to the pc you use to access the net...
<3> Just add a route to the other internal network
<3> You may have to add firewall rules as well for nat
<3> But prolly just the route
<12> im using suse linux as OS and suse firewall for nat
<12> i'm using three network cards
<12> one for internet ISP
<3> The firewall rule will be needed for the other network to nat to the internet
<13> rikki, are you familiar with Broadlogic DVB SNMP configuration?
<12> one for internal network that is nated
<12> and one that connect my netwok to the other network
<3> newbie: Yep... it is fairly simple
