<0> that is not the appropriate place for a command
<1> Where woudl I put that. rc.local?
<0> that would be more appropriate
<2> !seen redragon
<3> redragon <~redragon@64.39.1.11> was last seen on IRC in channel #linuxhelp, d h m s ago, saying: 'and yup its the real RD i'm just at work and dont remember my x login heh'.
<2> this is _really_ strange
<2> where is he?!
<4> hi all can someoane help my with firewall ? i want to open a port .. can someone tell me what command?
<5> hello
<5> /dev/hda1 / swap defaults 1 1
<5> is this ok... to add the swap partition automatically on reboot ?
<5> it is located in my /etc/fstab file
<5> google rulz
<0> no
<0> you're specifying it be mounted as / which is wrong
<0> and read the man page for fstab to see why the 1 1 is also wrong



<5> yep
<5> /dev/hda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
<5> this is the right line I added in fstab ;)
<5> thanks
<0> much better
<4> Fiver can help me too? please ?
<0> Imparatu`: firewalls can be configured in a lot of different ways. I can't give you one command that will work in all cases, and don't have time to review your ruleset. iptables.org has docs, guides, tutorials and howtos for configuring iptables firewall rules
<0> and of course there's man iptables
<4> ok thanks :D
<5> thanks for help fiver
<5> bu-bye
<0> you're welcome
<6> what is trixbox
<6> how to configure this
<7> aflac
<8> heya
<8> is anyone good with DSL?
<0> Angelina Jolie.. erm, nm.
<0> what about DSL? be more specific
<8> I'm having trouble getting DSL to install or run a liveCD on an old compaq armada 1598dt
<8> i got the "run in windows" applet to work
<9> I'm thinking "troll or the nick got it right"
<0> oh.. that DSL.. I immediately thought Digital Subscriber Line, not Damn Small Linux. Silly me.
<8> hehe
<8> anyway, that's the problem
<8> I tried using Lilo to help, but it didn't like that either (Invalid boot file error message)
<0> throw away the compaq. that should solve most of your problems. ;)
<8> agreed
<9> True_Lunacy: tried with noapic/noacpi and misc vga modes?
<8> how?
<8> it won't even recognise the boot cd as a boot cd and goes straight to a HDD boot
<10> Any one have any ideas? trying to compile Xorg-server [xglx-0-0-1 cvs build] along with Mesa-6.5.2 and managed to finally get everything in the GL dir built... Now hitting the follow error: glapitable.h:455: error: syntax error before 'GLchar'... now what 'version' or cvs or git release of this mess must I download?
<0> first try with linux?
<8> on this laptop yes
<0> or some experience?
<8> got suse working on my main pc a few years back, but it didn't last as the version was too old for me to get online with a usb modem
<0> ah
<8> but I'm not especially linux-fluent- windows I can do well though
<0> well, my first thought was that you burned the cd wrong, and it has a .iso file on it
<8> okay, I'll try another
<0> which is common enough for new users..
<0> True_Lunacy: what burning software are you using?
<8> infraburner
<8> on winxp
<0> True_Lunacy: if you stick the cd in a windows box and read it, does it show you files and directories, or a .iso file?
<8> files
<0> k
<8> in the laptop
<11> .o
<0> well, I don't have any other quick ideas beyond bios settings or what tommi suggested, and I'm busy enough at work I can't spend much time on it atm. maybe someone else will have some time.
<8> cheers anywa
<8> I'll try a new disc and cross my fingers
<9> OptimusPrime: I'd say: tough luck, that's what happens when you use cvs releases
<8> hang on, stupid question: I opened the ISO files I downloaded with winRAR, then burnt them rather than burning the ISO, will that make a difference?
<9> True_Lunacy: very much yes.
<8> ahh
<9> True_Lunacy: iso files are supposed to be burned instead of extracted
<9> just how'd you `download it with winrar'?
<0> bingo - somehow I had a feeling it was the cd



<8> I see. Thankyou very much guys, I reckon that will sort things out ;)
<9> Fiver: if it won't recognize it as a boot cd, that's often the case.
<8> I didn't dl it with winrar, I got it with fireFTP, then opened it with winrar and burnt it
<0> don't open the .iso, use the "create cd from image" option or whatever the equiv is for your burning software
<0> and if it doesn't have it, dump it and get something else, like nero
<8> right thanks- i have that lying around too!
<2> Think it has
<0> no idea.. I know XP doesn't
<9> doesn't matter, there's a bazillion free tools for that job.
<0> yep
<8> I remain dubious about the abilities of Vista. I may just make a total move to Linux when the time comes
<9> True_Lunacy: you "remain dubious" ?
<8> yes
<9> True_Lunacy: then you're ..... "slightly more optimistic" than me.
<0> what I really like about Vista is the Civil Rights Management
<8> hahah
<0> s/Civil/Digital/
<3> Fiver meant: what I really like about Vista is the Digital Rights Management
<2> Who cares about DRM anyway?
<9> from what I heard, an `ultra' `extreme' or whatever it's called, base install of vista is 15GiB.
<12> err, I do.
<2> I get ripped stuff from the net anyway
<9> yay, a base OS of 15GiB. no room for error there.
<2> tommi, it's actually 6GBs installed
<12> wow.
<9> Znuff: that'd (according to my sources, who ofcourse _could_ be wrong) would be a `normal' vista install
<8> You guys are genii- it works now1 thanks a lot
<0> great True_Lunacy, enjoy :)
<2> tommi, I installed Ultimate, RTM.. it only had 6~6.5GB's
<2> ofcourse, I didn't count the Program Files directory=/
<9> True_Lunacy: you might want to try ubuntu live as well if you want to throw your weight around without actually installing anything. (or knoppix)
<2> but vista _does_ require 13GB's of free space on a partition
<9> Znuff: ah, do that next time :P
<8> What would you guys say is the best version of Linux for a (proper) pc that i use for Steam and work?
<9> Znuff: ew. ew. ew. ew. ew.
<9> True_Lunacy: steam?
<2> tommi, I still have it installed, but I added apps so I can't count anymore :(
<8> Halflife and stuff
<2> yup, Steam... Valve's content delivery thingie
<12> Yeah, we know.
<2> True_Lunacy, just get ubuntu
<9> True_Lunacy: er, there's a `lynOx' version of that?
<9> I'd agree with znuff
<2> no, cedega runs it :-/
<8> right
<8> I might just do that, and dualboot my decent box
<9> ubunto has sane package management, and its targetted at the desktop
<9> bleah. s/to/tu
<8> How does one install linux from a livecd?
<9> that would be when you start to learn how to do things `teh lynex way'
<9> i.e. you read the documentation/forums/FAQ's
<9> True_Lunacy: such actions are -always- covered in detail if the software is worthwhile using.
<8> RIght, so its no arcane knowledge then?
<12> Does anyone here download any of the youtube flash videos?
<12> I've tried running one file through gflashplayer, and got basically nowhere.
<2> Viking667, ffmpeg knows flv
<13> Viking667, try googling for video downloader .. mplayer plays .flv pretty fine :)
<13> for some of them the image ( video ) goes faster than the sound .. too fast even ..
<13> ffplay seems to play them ok tough
<14> wots this error? oi-apic
<15> Hi again
<15> It's all working amazingly apart from I can't mount a USB pendrive
<16> i have an error when trying to send an e-mail from home (works from work) through a mandrake linux server. i get: "relay access denied". I've checked in outlook "SMTP requires authentication" but i read on google that i must add a domain name, but i am really a newbie in this, any ideas what i should do?
<16> add a domain name to the mail server...
<14> wots this error? "oi-apic"
<14> i tried installing the drivers for my ati x1600 graphics card on ubuntu 6.10. when i restarted the x server the computer slowed down a lot, everything took 4ever 2 load. i tried reconfigure xorg from command line and rebooted the pc and then ubuntu wouldnt load so i reinstalled them from scratch. can ne1 help?
<17> i have a cron job that records tv but /dev/video* is always denied. I changed the permissions on it and somehow it reverted. even w/o rebooting
<8> How do I access files on a USB stick from a liveCD linux session?
<17> i have a startup script that sets it back but again... I haven't rebooted
<14> kernel panic - not syncing : IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Try usng the "noapic" kernel parameter --> wots this error?
