<0> It's not exactly free, but there seems to be a trial version available
<0> MadMunky: Disable animations perhaps?
<1> how?
<0> No preference pane for stuff like that?
<2> guyz! i've set ut an autobootable Quake3 & Teamspeak server (on Mandriva 2005). the servers run at boot so they run as root module and i need them to run as other user let's say q3server. How can i do it ????
<0> Praxus: From the scripts that fire up the servers, use su to start those apps as a different user
<2> but i'd need to type the p*** for the user... and the serv is ment to be standalone, autoreboot, autostart (with as little administration as possible)
<2> i'd like to know if or how to make a script to log as that other user upon startup
<0> No, using su as root doesn't require you to type a p***word to change users
<3> hello
<2> so... edit the script... su q3server / cd /home/q3a/ ./q3ded (<something like that??)
<4> Coma-sama: by default. :-)
<0> Praxus: Maybe you better have a look at the su manpage ;)
<2> Coma-sama.. could u explaint it more... i started using linux 3 days ago :P
<4> Hm. I wonder if I can control the fans on this thing.
<0> Praxus: Quite simple, at the command prompt, you type "man su" (without the quotes) and start reading
<2> ok... brb :P
<5> Coma-sama: please read it for me <hides>
<0> Sunblade: Ummmm, what if I'm on windows and don't have any manpages? =)
<4> Oh, riight.
<3> people who use windows and sit on linux channels are dangerous
<4> You need a 13.500 USD card to be able to do that.
<0> stall-Fan: You mean people would have to run linux all the time in order to be taken serious here?
<5> oh man a bsod
<5> :D
<0> hehehe
<3> Coma-sama, dont worry, on IRC i take nobody for serious anyways
<0> Not that I'm on windows to begin with, I just can't be arsed to do someone else's reading
<2> ok Coma-soma. you're right i can su to other user (from root) without the p***... from command propmt
<2> gonna check if it works if i make it in the script
<0> Praxus: How's that for a lucky guess from a windows user :P
<2> well i'm a linux newbie... and i think you're not :P
<0> Oh, but I am, very much so
<2> anyway. goota check it in the script. brb to say the resault ;)
<0> Hmm, resault... Would that be the result of an ***ault?
<2> :P
<2> ok it does change the user... but the rest of the script doesn't run
<1> where can i download sensors for gDesklets?
<0> Praxus: You must have gotten a part of the syntax wrong
<2> Coma-sama i just aded su q3server at the 1st line in the script i use to launch the servers
<2> it's a plain txt file (i have no idea at making real scripts)
<0> Praxus: Heh, that won't work, since by the end of the line it'll drop back to the previous shell, running as root
<2> well it doesn't... but it doesn't run the servers (from the scripts)
<0> You'll be better off running that entire script as that particular user, e.g. su q3werver -c /path/to/your/script
<2> oh
<2> lemmie try it ;)
<0> Praxus: And all it takes to make a "real" script is adding #!/bin/sh to the top of your script (the first line) and making it executable
<2> well....
<2> THX Coma-soma
<2> it does work ;)
<5> coma-stoma <hides>
<5> that sounds weird
<2> now all i gotta do is add that script path to inittab and i try if it works at booting
<2> i'll be back ;)
<5> Coma-sama: as long as you bring your own favorite cooked lasagne with you
<0> Um, did he just say _inittab_?
<5> yes a rewrite of mgetty most likely :)
<0> Someone should have told him about initscripts
<1> Anyone know why i cant load candybar for gDesklets it says there is a sensor missing, any ideas?
<2> :)
<2> it's working
<0> Praxus: You do _not_ run this sort of stuff from inittab
<2> why ??
<0> This is what init scripts are for
<2> and/or where to _run_ them from ??
<0> From a startup script in /etc/init.d/ or /etc/rc.d/init.d/, depending on your distro
<2> so i just put the script in rc.d/inid.d ??
<2> init.d*
<6> rc.local
<6> :)
<0> rc.local wouls do too
<0> s/ls/ld/
<2> um... brb gotta smoke ;)
<0> But solely stick the script in the init.d dir won't suffice, you'll have to create symlinks to it from the proper runlevel directories
<0> I haven't seen any spam in weeks *knocks on wood*
<0> err
<0> WWS(tm)
<2> ah that was refreshing:)
<2> Coma-sama can i put the script to ~rc3.d ??
<0> Praxus: No, it should go into init.d, and you link to it from rc3.d. Or better yet, per Demonen's suggestion, use rc.local
<2> i can't see rc.local
<2> ah... found it
<2> all i got in rc.local is: touch /var/locksubsys/local
<0> Good enougn, you can run your script from there
<0> s/gn/gh/
<2> s/gn/gh ??
<0> Praxus: "man perlre" if you really want to know ;)
<2> so... i just put /path/to/script in rc.local yes??
<0> yup
<2> can the script be in any location ??
<0> Technically, sure. But there's a few logical places you should stick with, like /usr/local/bin/ for example
<2> well i have the script in q3server home dir
<0> *shrug* if that's convenient enough for you
<2> i'm telling u... i'm a linux newbie... so i'm just asking if it's a good location :P
<2> ok i put the script in /usr/local/bin :P
<2> hope it'll work like i want it to ;)
<6> Praxus: A "good location" is a location where you, using your own logic, can find it later with no difficulty. I use /home/*/bin/ for that sort of stuff.
<2> k Demonen
<2> ok i'm rebooting ...
<6> have fun
<2> be back in a few..
<1> does xgl work ok with KDE?
<0> Doesn't have much to do with KDE, does it?
<1> i heard it was only working with gnome but could be wrong
<2> re
<2> k... it works 99% as i would like it to
<2> Coma-sama i'm using screen to lunch q3server in that script
<2> it starts correctly
<2> but i can't screen back to it from the console
<7> i need help reregistering my channel. who's down?
<8> can one national time server cost $65.000 ?
<0> Sorry, I was afk for a bit
<9> hello
<9> how do i tell witch modules are safe to remove ? i see a lot of modules that have a "0" in the "used by" column
<9> can removing those harm my system ?
<0> glontu: That's the reference count alright
<10> can anybody help me with this, im trying to update yum =>http://pastebin.com/724408
<10> i got compatibility error with rpm
<10> modules
<9> Coma-sama : so if there are no refferences pointing to that module that means i can safely remove it wirhg ?
<0> For a certain degree of safely, yes
<9> is there some web site somewhere that explains what do the different modules do/mean ?
<0> Well, the kernelsource itself comes with plenty of documentation
<9> oke ... thanks Coma-sama
<10> any idea for my problem?
<0> Get a doctor's prescription?
<11> anyone alive in here caring enough to try to help with some kernel option question for 64 bit smp systems ?
<12> hi guys

<13> SuRoT: p2p
<12> ow thankz
<12> DNS, Ping, http, https, ftp, pop3, imap, smtp, nntp, telnet, snmp, tftp, ike <-- which category p2p belongs?
<12> i have a modem and i want to block p2p
<13> None of the above
<12> ow my
<7> heh
<0> You'll find certain p2p protocols quite hard to block
<7> might be some kind of iptables_p2p hack for it
<12> well.. thanks guys
<12> reality thank you
<12> XD no change but to let him hehe
<0> There's the iptables l7 patch, but even that won't stop all p2p traffic
