<0> I'd ***ume even something as [ beeeeeep ] as fedora would have iptables installed
<1> lol, i know
<1> lol, fedora ****s ?
<2> realty: I'm new at this, how do I see the topics
<3> Mandrake4: By typing /topic
<2> reality: is there a way to start X in low res mode?
<3> Yes
<2> reality:hello
<3> Mandrake4: You asked your question. I answered it
<2> how?
<3> You only get to ask one question.
<2> reality: nice
<0> Hehehehe
<2> reality: thanx
<3> Mandrake4: Should probably think of a better question to ask next time.
<2> reality: r u kidding?
<3> What's an r? What's a u?
<0> You're being totally immature!
<2> are you
<3> Mandrake4: Nope. I wasn't kidding.
<3> brb...rebooting the router.
<3> Hmmm...guess I didn't leave.
<0> Yes you did
<2> Is there someone who wants to help me with something on Mandriva?
<0> Mandrake4: Why not instead state your actualy problem, and hope someone's able to help?
<0> s/ly/l/
<4> LadyByte: Tell Mandrake4 about smart questions
<2> well I'm not able to boot x in the normal graphical mode and I need to know how to boot it in a low res mode or something
<3> Mandrake4: Define "boot x"
<0> Boot linux or start x?
<2> I'm new at linux will boot x get me into lower res?
<2> normaly it's startx
<0> Ah, now we're getting somewhere
<3> Mandrake4: So why don't you use Mandriva's X configuration utility?
<0> Mandrake4: And running startx fails now, right? Can you be a little more specific?
<3> Gah. Internet is so slow. I need to pull the plug on the router
<0> reality: Nah, that's because of me leeching pr0n by the GB
<2> coma: after I run startx it starts booting but my screen goes white. I have a problem with the driver for my card
<0> Mandrake4: To avoid further confusion here, it's not "booting", it just starts up.
<2> coma: cool
<2> coma: it thought it was the same
<2> coma: you know windows has the safe mode for problems like this. I thought mandriva should have something similar. Low res or something
<0> I'm not too familiar with mandriva, but I think that running XFdrake from the console'll let you reconfigure X, possibly correcting any mistakes you made earlier
<0> Oh, it might have some sort of failmode for X alright, but I don't knw of it ;)
<5> XFree86 --autoconfig does wonders as well
<0> Mandrake4: Mind you, there's also the #mandriva channel, perhaps they're of better help with mandriva's specifics
<2> coma: tried that. I need someone who knows more about MANDRIVA
<2> coma: good advice
<2> thanx
<6> Mandrake4: there`s no need for lo res mode in linux, most problems can be solved from console.
<6> if not all
<2> coma: yes, but the console is a pain it the ***, especialy for newbies like me
<0> Mandrake4: Heh, when you're forced to use nothing but the console, you'd be amazed at what speed you'd be able to pick new things up ;)
<2> coma: that's true, but I'm used with windows and mac 9.x so it's very frustrating
<2> coma: especialy couse I need a fast solution
<0> Heh, I'd pick the commandline over either of those any time
<0> But like I said before, try XFdrake
<2> coma: tried that, I realy need a different driver for my graphical card
<0> What brand/model have you got?
<2> I have a onboard ATI Rage 128 VR
<0> Sound to me like the regular ati driver ought to work for that
<0> Still, if everything else fails, I'd suggest you ditch your old config file and try running XFdrake again. That's all I get from the shreds of mandriva documentation available
<0> But hot damn, mandriva's a PoS when it comes to having to support it
<2> coma: it fails, at the testing section of Fdrake. That's when I get the White screen dude
<0> Right, and we were supposed to know that how exactly?
<2> coma: I don't know... are you
<5> Mandrake4: still haven't discovered: XFree86 --autoconfig and seeing if that can do the trick? it won't be a fancy setup but at least it can get X running
<0> It'd have helped a little had you said that sooner
<5> Mandrake4: you can tweak it from there
<0> OptimusPrime: Does mandriva even still ship with xfree?
<5> Coma: got a point? he can try it out..Xorg/Xfree are pretty similar in most ways [they used to be the same project, just different licensing]
<5> Coma: I mean, " You got a point"
<2> optimus: I'm very new, whats Xfree86?
<5> Mandrake4: a slightly different version/release of Xorg...ugh, the 'thing' you're trying to get running as we speak
<2> optimus: thanx
<0> Weird, my copy of Xorg doesn't even seem to have an -autoconfig option
<5> Mandrake4: if it's Xorg...then Xorg autoconfig may do the trick as well
<5> Mandrake4: just checked
<0> Or atleast Xorg -configure shoudl work
<0> And else there's xorgconfig and xorgcfg
<0> Gee, plenty of choice there, just when you don't need it
<7> X can autoconfig?
<2> yeah, can x autoconfig?
<0> Beats me, I'm just as surprised
<7> surprised...
<7> more like scary
<5> Mandrake4: sure can...just told ya how... its not the best but it can get you started...if it works out, you can go back and make a back of of the config, /etc/X11/xfconfig, and then make changes by hand...if you screw up, you have a back up
<0> It'd probably be called /etc/X11/xorg.conf
<8> howdy, does anyone know if the retry=foo keyword works in all the /etc/pam.d/* configuration files. In particular the pam_ldap.so and cracklib.so sections.
<9> yo
<9> is there a way to tell which files are using the most space out of an entire filesystem
<8> here is alink for lots of scripts for that stuff http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Tips-HOWTO.html
<9> coo
<10> what is mandriva one?
<11> if I own a bussiness in which I need a computer and can't afford a windows license, can I use linux instead, which is free, with no licence or anything and don't have problems ?
<8> thats correct. you are under the GPL which by and large says you can use it for free
<11> even if I'm a bussiness user?
<11> not personal at home
<8> yes
<8> you may want to pay for support and updates but the actual software kernel and generally the applications are free
<12> hi, i just added ALL: PARANOID *
<12> to my hosts.deny and yet theres still a hacker trying to get in
<12> what should i do?
<8> what is this hacker doing?
<12> May 23 11:32:41 my714 sshd(pam_unix)[26630]: check p***; user unknown
<12> May 23 11:32:41 my714 sshd(pam_unix)[26630]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=222.236.221.60
<12> hes doign that every 5 seconds
<8> that looks like a script trying for root ( uid=0 )
<12> right, so what should i do?
<13> xiv block the ip
<8> you could completely ban traffic from that ip with iptables/ipchains or whatever firewall youre using
<11> but that is optional.
<13> iptables -I INPUT -s 222.236.221.60 -j DROP
<12> ahh good :)
<12> thanks red :)
<12> how can i make a script that does both drops and takes off drops?
<14> hello
<13> xiv i suggest hunting around places like freshmeat.net first
<12> ok
<14> does anybody have experiences with USB memory sticks on Debian Etch with a 2.6.15 kernel? I tried several products, and i can mount it with -t usbfs, but i cant access any data nor write to it. but the guy at the store says it works with the newest knoppix cd
<14> tips? ideas? :-)
<13> personally i wrote perl program that tails /var/log/secure (i use centos) and watches for ssh and ftp failures, on 3 failures it blocks, and i have a cron that runs every 5 minutes to clear
<13> bbl
<14> sshblock does something like that, too
<1> can i take a few GB from my local D: and make a swap partition without erasing enithing from D: ?
<14> romeo, depends on the filesystem that is on it. but usually you can use parted to resize existing partitions
<15> just in theory... can you burn a cd iso to a dvd and expect it to work ?
<16> how to determine version of system?
<14> mp3r00t, stop exploiting computers.
<17> hi
<17> Anyone know of any other backup solutions aside from Bacula, which may work in the same manner?
<17> i.e. ability to restore single files, store information in a database, etc etc.
<13> danq only thing i've looked at was amanda, dont know how similar that is to bacula
<13> ha, you forgot the stupid bnc away nick change :)
<18> cant imitate that, would earn me a nice +b on other channels as well :p
<13> lol
<13> guess i'm not the only grumpy arse around
<13> swear 1/2 my logs are lurkers on bouncers changing nicks
<18> maybe somebody should go over the rules and update them, then we can actually point people to it when we kick them :p
<13> i just can't understand why someone would come into a channel, absolutely never say anything, and just sit there
<13> is there a purpose (besides finding bot targets for spam messages) that i'm missing?
<13> the other thing is what do they need a bouncer for to sit in a channel they dont talk in? they aren't even in the channel to learn anything cause they are only there for 30 secs twice a day
