how can i check the version of my running fedora?
(I'm @ the konsole
zotkop cat /etc/issue
woah thx
zotkop, Also check "uname -a"
can somebody tell me where is the folder to put icon themes?
i already know thanks anyway :p
hers :
oops
is there something like apt-spy for yum?
what is apt-spy ?
ahttp://www.google.be/search?hl=nl&q=apt-spy&meta=
?
a tool to optimize your package downloader to use the fastest mirrors? "yum install yum-fastestmirror"
i did that one too, it came out this "Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
" nothing is happening
yum-fastest mirror watches mirror performance as you use yum
so it may take a few yum transactions before it starts to affect your download speeds
so you mean i have to type "pirut" a few times to take effect?
you may have to install/update a few packages for it to take effect
as you download stuff through yum, the fastestmirror plugin will continue to collect speed data, so it will continually be updating
EarthVoid, no use yum update
but i can't update, it keeps on asking me for my root passwrd after i entered it a yellow small icon in my panel just beside the clocktime appeared and asked me this
"You're currently authorized to configure system-wide settings (that affect all users) without typing the administrator password again. You can give up this authorization."
so you started pruit as well
2 choice keep authorization or forget authorization
yes
forget
because i cant update my packages
yes you can if you have some patence
i chose forget but nothing is happening
open terminal
su - (notice the minus)
yum update
how do i install yum?
you have yum already installed
pornholio, uname -r
i did that already. i updated my yum
EarthVoid, do you want help or do you want to argue
i want help. but i did update it several times. ok will update it again
2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 is what i get when I do uname -r
I just removed yum..; :p
pornholio, why
trial & error noobish ^^
go to a mirror with fc6 updates and download the yum rpm
here it is
and then come back
[root@localhost ~]# yum update
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Setting up Update Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
EarthVoid, ok now never paste to the channel again
use the pastebin
ok sorry
EarthVoid, uname -r
what packages do you think need updating
im sori but i have no idea. i was just wondering why can't i update my packages. its working the last time i updated
EarthVoid, uname -r
done, 2.66.22.1-41.fc7
then you don't need updates
or, at least not your kernel
hold on i am checking a mirror
EarthVoid, rpm -q spamassassin
done, spamassassin 3.2.3-1.fc7
you are updated
how bout when im adding/removing software. i still need to run pirut
no
add/remove software. pirut still need to be accessed
no one says you have to do that now do they
yes that is a link to pruit
no one says you have to use pruit
ok, i think i need to know how to add/remove software iwhout using that
without*
yum yumex etc
yum is a rpm frontend
pruit is a gui yum frontend
yumex is a gui yum frontend
so anytime you are having problems with the gui tools use the cli tools
so i have to use yum when installing softwares
one way or another yes
thanks
EarthVoid, myself i use yum daily
i only use yumex if i am looking for a certain application
i dont like pruit
when updating? i will also use yum?
yes
yum update
by typing "yum update"?
man yum will give you more infomation of what yum can do
how about fedora packages?
what about fedora packages
why kind of job can you get with a govt degree?
updating fedora packages
yes
its included in "yum update" command?
EarthVoid, take a deep breath and ask the question you are trying to ask
hehe
what is a govt degree?
EarthVoid, yum update goes and and looks at the fedora updates repo
ohh.. i get it now. im quite slow. hehe
if there is updates for the packages on your computer it tells you and asks if you want to update them
i will never have to use pirut again
that is up to you
well, as i can see now. i don't need it anymore
You can use the updates daemon as well
PinTail_b, one step at a time
hehe, give me some time
is there any special syntax to setting the metric of an interface using ifconfig?
I know it is said that linux doesn't pay attention to this field but…
I need to play with this for some NLB testing
metric N' keeps returning operation not supported
DFT and you have read the man page for ifconfig
yes I have read the man page
that's a given
based on what is said, my above example should work
i just got a new server in from DELL a PE1950 with FC6 bare bone install and for some reason im unable to ping other host. I have iptables turned off my eth0 interface is up. What else should I troubleshoot?
slackerz, how are you getting your ip
run netstat -rn, check if you have a line with UG, that will denote your default gateway
slackerz, how are you getting your ip
static or dhcp
nm we figured it out for some reason it made eth0 be eth1
ok
just had to plug it in the second etherent interface.
slackerz also read the following
http://wiki.ncsa.uiuc.edu/wiki/Dell_PE1950_NIC_Firmware_Workaround
I had this issue with PE1950's released earlier this year
we wer ein panic mode for a few =0p

Can I make sudo have a PATH with /usr/sbin and /sbin in it?
i have two dsl line and how do i load balance traffic using fedora linux as a router?
according to the sudo manpage, you should add the -i switch
or you could just add them to your normal users path.
im trying to access errno.h , it says permission denied. why is that
how are you trying to access it?
kelvin^9^: go read lartc
/usr/include/asm/errno.h
I meant, with what? Are you trying to open it with an editor, are you trying to copy it with the cp command?
im just trying to read it
with what tool?
nothing, i just typed /usr/include/asm/errno.h
the errno.h you should include is the /usr/include/errno.h one.
so the OS try to execute it, and hence your permission denied since it's not an executable ?
what did you expect that to do? It isn't a program.
try just "less /usr/include/asm/errno.h"
sorry. just new here.
ahh. so i cant access it because its not an executable
what are you trying to do ?
when you are using the shell, you have to tell it what you want to do with a file. If you just type in the filename it tries to run it as a program
the first "thing" in the command is expected to be a program to run; if it's not executable you get an error
ah. i see
i was just curious, im reading rute that's why i tried to access errno.h
what's 'rute' ?
yes that's it.
Wow, that's a hell of a reference …..how is it I've never heard of it before ?
thats something you have to answer for yourself PinTail_b
you live in a cave?
Mom's Basement?
Ive lived in a cave…. of course I had wireless
no EvilBob
Like a good cheese
Is there an F7 rpm available for compiz-fusion?
J-23: no
I almost went with some friends to an archeological dig in Israel last summer and I would have lived in a cave for a year.
lol
but…
which reminds me they should be back soon
my head hurts. ah yes the reason i dont go on digs any more
OK, so rute has a pretty good table of contents, but does it live up to it ?
:|
it is good, starting to be a little bit dated
but still quite good
Who knows /dev here? When I tried to copy /dev/console, I have been flooded with Enters :/
anybody know a text-based audio-player capable of playing m3u playlists
what do you mean copy /dev/console ?
cp /dev/console
Why would you do that?
I need this device for my minidistro…
Use mknod.
why isn't it created dynamically ?
anybody know a text-based audio-player capable of playing m3u playlists? Please Anybody?
I believe mplayer will
text based eh?
f_newton, with no gui ^^ console app
ill try mplayer
well B4ckBOne what I do is google what I want and magically I get directions to what Im looking for! its great
Thanks.
I know what text basd is B4ckBOne but thanks
oh so now youre lecturing me f_newton
ok
B4ckBOne, my suggestion is to go with a distro that is especially text based if thats what you want. like sarge
mpd/mpc
I, and this is just my opinion B4ckBOne, think that taking a fully integrated gui operating system and stripping it down to be a text based os is silly.
f_newton, no thats not what i want .. im a pretty advanced user but sometimes i need to use text based shells to be able to do developing of apps which periodically crash the x apache geronimo server hosting … while doing that i like listening to musc
:-)
since the x servers crashing on me all the time, its not possible to listen to it while working ^^
there are several text based media players.
well just because you are operating from a text shell doesnt mean the rest of your system cant work at full potential, unless you want to start in text mode
ahhhh
thats the reason
so what video card are you using?
but why not operate on another tty
Im not an advanced user… just an ancient one
even if I am using the -61 kernel
so use mpd
I want to find out why his x server keeps crashing
yeah, that would be better
he already told you
did he?
hmmm where was I at the time?
lol
yes, but you're not paying attention
as usual.
duh
I listened when it came to wifi AndyCap
after a while.
lol well I replaced my broadcom with an intel pro wireless AndyCap and it works great
thats another story
ahh app development is causing x server crash
I also have a great usb wifi dongle that works as well so I am truly mobile now
I also have t3 gateway hardware if ever I have to tap in to a trunk
I also have t3 gateway hardware if ever I have to tap in to a trunk
is there anyway to get the default gw to not bind to lo by default (in FC5 btw)
t3, stupid american 7-bit crap.
***bet that's covered in Rute !!!!
hey it was free AndyCap
yeah stupid american crap… like the internet hey a british postal worker invented email though and it was that and the us dept of defense that gave us the internet
Why is file-roller trying to open a .txt file with mplayer?
everything, even an executable is a txt file isnt it?
the internet is like lasagna… 7 layers of cheeze
B4ckB0ne, mplayer with the -playlist option should work
InsomniaCity, probably due to a mimetype association setup in gnome to open plain/text with mplayer
where can I edit that/
ummmm….
DFT - what gateway would you want it to bind to - or none ?
gconf editor maybe
howto update fedora FC4-FC5 (Error: Package php51-ftp needs libcrypto.so.5, this is not available.)
update or upgrade ?
InsomniaCity… right click on a text file in Nautilus or the desktop right click, select properties and then change things in the open with tab
Strange - I don;'t see any entries for lo when I run "route -n"
upgrade
jacekowski, can you temporarily remove that package and then add it back after the upgrade is done?
lol
me too (on fedora), on gentoo i have "127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo"
jacekowski, it doesnt matter fc4 and fc5 are EOL
done that - file-roller still behaves differently
besides, php51 isn't in FC4. you install 3rd party packages you should know how to fix them
i have about ~50 similar errors
kdekorte's suggestion is on the right track. but removing the 3rd party packages and moving to a release that ships with the software you need is better
InsomniaCity does right clicking on the file in file-roller and selecting open-with give you any options
PHP 5.0.4 (cli) (built: Nov 8 2005 08:27:12)
i don't have any 3rd party packages
jacekowski, so you did it from source
php51 came from fc5
right. so where did Package php51-ftp needs come from?
ewww… don't mix distros like that, upgrade if you need it
nope.
rpm -qi php51-ftp gives you what?
mhm
haha, somebody's running plesk and should go crying to their vendor insead
instead
ok are we done laughing @ jacekowski now
That looks like a big mess…
kdekorte, plesk=BIG PITA MESS
I had never heard of it until now.. I think that is ok to not know about it
How can I open a programme from konsole with other user?
*from onather user
sudo?
big pita commercial, best left to the vendor to support their own crap mess.
Argiris - use sudo, or su
kdekorte, you have heard me use the term bastardized fedora
that is a prime example
atrpms = bastardized fedora apps
definition #2
how do you make sudo keep the X permissions so that you can run an X app as another user… I use ssh -X localhost 'cmd' to work around that, I'm sure there is something better
Try kdesu.
yeah, if you start using alternate repos getting a messed up os is pretty easy
kdesu on gnome?
Oh, I assumed from your nick/terminal that you were using KDE- heh.
but if you mess up your os by using alternate repos, I think that is your own fault
supposedly pam_xauth should take care of that already if you do "su" dunno about su -
no.I want to run a programme without the root permitions
ricky, kdekorte is my name not my preferred DE
Never mind, I mixed you up with Argiris too- my apologies.
np, it happens a lot
I think there's gksu in GNOME. Hmm.
so how I open a program from console without the root privilege ?
depends on the program
what program are you wanting to run
Argiris, I've used "shh -X user@localhost appname" with good success…
Argiris, what program are you wanting to run
ssh not shh
you'll need the users password to do that however
I've seen people run firefox that way to keep it isolated from their home directory
But yeah, the kdesu was for you, Argiris.
Argiris, what exactly are you trying to do
I want to run pidgin without the root priviledge
Don't even login as root.
are you logged in as root?
always
pidgin runs fine as user
You should be logged in as a normal user, and only use sudo/su/kdesu, etc. when you need root privileges.
why do you login with root?
Argiris, also you should NEVER log into irc as root
most things don't need that kinda rights
many administrations jobs…
That is why firstboot makes you create a normal user when you first install.
Use su/sudo for those.
no
Argiris, yes
login as your id and then 'sudo su - ' to get a root shell
why is cvs a dependency for git? amusing.
Basically, you are running more stuff than necessary with root privileges. That is considered very dangerous.
I can't .All my work is as root
yes you can
I think git has tools to convert from/to CVS or something.
you dont need to be running as root
you just need to do it
There is never a good reason to be logged in as root. With su/sudo, you can still do anything you need as root.
sure. and those tools should have cvs dependencies. but git itself shouldn't
I don't have normal user….
you should only rarely need to login or su to root, most other tasks can be performed via sudo
so, create one
I guess you can ask the packager about that
Argiris, the way you are administrating your boxes is against the industry standards
update your sudoers
or make him a member of 'wheel' - which ever is the flavour of the month
so if this box is a business and it get broken into you may be personally liabile
so if this box is a good hosting services for my business and it get broken into you may be personally liabile
is stupidity a reason to ban
hello
Why would I want to use Fedora?
you don't
have a good day
if you did you wouldnt ask that troll question
go back to ubuntu where you will feel safe
I have never used Fedora. I was wondering why should I give it a try.
1) if you want to get a corporate job as a linux admin fedora is a good way to get your feet wet
what have you used?
the only reason ubuntu users ever use Fedora is so they can complain about it, we really are starting to wish you would just not bother.
because most corporations if they are running linux are useing redhat
I'd say because we have an excellent community
Well, as long as you ask the right questions, that is
new to linux? or just to fedora?
s34n, I have been running debian, gentoo and ubuntu so far.
s34n, do a whois on him
is there some reason you are unhappy with those?
I always seek for alternatives
well, every of these systems serves some kind of purpose
ok. then the #1 reason to use fedora is because it is an alternative to those.
I was wondering how Fedora can be competetive on desktop platform
fijam, just like gnome or kde different strokes for different folks if you want to give fedora a try will help you
Fedora is Free, doing questionable things is not as easy as you are used to, more hoops to jump through for things like closed source drivers or patent encumbered items
fijam, to answer that question you need to try it yourself
I see, that's what I intend to do anyway.
Hi
I just installed FC7, and tried following the directions to get compiz-fusion on my system
I installed the packages in the howto, but I don't have a compiz-manager, any hints?
"the directions" what directions?
contact the author of that howto
http://www.unix-tutorials.com/tutorials.php?os=Fedora+Core
frb, compiz-fusion is not part of Fedora yet
nirik, tell them to fix the rpms
to say f7 and not fc7
fix what? the fedora collection rpms?
stands for fedora collection now.
Doing so will break upgrades.
f7
that's what epochs are for
nirik, i know the reason but you can see why people still say core
No, that's abuse of epochs.
no, epochs are to be avoided.
lol
I know, you could make it fd7 and totally win
I sent an email to fedoraos.org but now there's a webform to fill out. Should I just reorder and say "disregard the email" or will my email services spam free request be grandfathered as a new request?
See, now that isn't an awful idea.
sure… but with enough correcting people will get it someday.
in the last 10 minutes who said core
Now post it to the list and get it ratified.
It says no on "multiple submissions" but I dunno if that counts a 7 day old email.
That's the *real* challenge.
hey, I used to use suse, but after 10.0 it's gone downhill
nirik, i see a weblink that frb posted that says fedora-core
yeah, thats what I saw…
I don't know anything about red hat since 9.0?
I hated the original fedora
Fedora 1 is pretty muhc like red hat 9. I'd stay away from it though if you have a CMedia sound card built into your motherboard
unless you install a different kernel like I did
I have FC7 installed, I just want compiz-fusion
saw kageshenshi's blog ?
it didn't come up in my search, got a url?
frb /join #compiz-fusion
Anyways, does my old email count as a submission that I shouldn't repeat? Or should I just resubmit using the webform and say to disregard the email?
don't think anyone here knows. ask opsec perhaps?
opsec?
COuld you direct me I've never heard of him/her/it
it's a nick. right here …
*scolls down* oh yeah…nevermind
if you've already reqested fedora it's been sent
Is 7.90 the same as 8 test 1?
where are you located?
yes.
thansk
Pasco, WA 99301 USA
thanks
I'm not sure if my previous request was formatted properly. Do humans process them?
damnit
i have not been able to use either f7 or f8 test 1
because whenever they boot and get to the 'starting udev' bit on boot-up, it hangs until i eject my pcmcia card
that one was sent
now, it works great in fc6
Log a bug.
am i the only person have this issue? i haven't been able to find ANYTHING on google about it
you should definitely have it by now, as it came from portland
where can i log bugs?
which is why you should search bugzilla.redhat.com and if you can' find anything, post a new bug
hmm…is it small enough to stick in a mailbox?
yes
I don't know peanuts about signing for packages and I've been off camping for the last few days
i have never had someone not get the package .. even in remote places in the world
ah, now I have the compiz lovin
Hi people, quick question.. I have just installed compiz fusion from the kagesenshi repo, which works great.. but it doesn't obey ccsm.. I have tried removing the gconf settings from the fedora7 main repo compiz.. I'm using the fusion-icon to start it..
Ok…so if it isn't there in another week, should I just reorder?
you need to c heck around
ask your postman .. this should have arrived the next day
Ok, so I tried getting some stuff from livna, and it's going like, ultra slow.
as in arrived 1 day(s) after being ordered?
if you honestly haven't received it, i'll be very surprised
yes, since i live very close to you
you're the one who delivers them then?
I'm monitering the connection, and sometimes, the line is even going idle.
it takes only one day for mail to go from portland to tri-cities
Is there any way to cancel the download at the point it's at but still keep the already downloaded files?
wow. now you're santa-claus. delivering cd's all over the world in one day.
haha
lol
not all over the world in a day
but i just happen to live in Shentino's neighborhood
"you're the one who delivers them then?"
Hmm…do you keep any sort of request log? I DEFINITELY should have received it by now…so either you didn't send it, the postal service fubar'ed, or someone's been pilfering my mailbox
i sent it. 110% positive
so now he knows where you live.
turn around
i'm standing right behind you
Screw IRC, let's do facetalk
:P
please ask your post person if they remember delivering it ..
I'll ask if I can catch them.
Mind if I reorder if something screwy happened?
if not, resubmit and you'll be the first person who has not received it
ok, thanks.
Here I was expecting to wait a good 4 weeks
even people in russia, africa and israel receive them fine
now THAT's reliable.
Maybe there's some jealous nerd on my block who raided my mailbox
lol
it's in a square bubble envelope
even in places where they use OX carts
secure your mailbox use firewall + selinux
I'd definitely do that if I could.
why ?
iptables is in the kernel itsefl
service iptables start
Some gremlin was leaving my mailbox lid open.
Ok, opsec. I'll check. If it's not there, I'll reorder.
thanks for the info btw.
oh you talking of real life
i thought computer life
ma bad
please don't abuse this free service, do an honest check and make sure you haven't overlooked it first
i understand the post office loses things
but more often , people overlook
I plan on checking the mailbox, and then asking the postal service.
Hi
But I know for certain I did not remove it from the mailbox, so either it didn't arrive or someone stole it.
download it man
no, problem just letting you know
do you live in jungles of africa ?
you get it faster by downloading
or ask a local lug
I don't have internet at home
not even 56K dialup
lol
What kinds of web development programs are available for Linux?
where you live ?
waht you mean ?
Like I said, Pasco WA 99301 USA
USA and no internet strange
Southern_Gentlem, I am finally back lol. she passed that test
I'm internet ready, just can't afford an ISP that's all.
not so strange really if he's not in a city
– starving college student with hardly any money
he lives in village
I'd say suburban
i want to hook up a web server, i have everything set up, but i was wondering what programs to use to develop the web pages. When I was using Windows, i use Microsoft Visual Web Developer.
but no cash == no internet no matter where you are
nvu
unless you have wireless
Vim or text editor of your choice
yeah it sucks when there's no internet
he lives in a fairly large 3 city area around a major river
go outside some of the star bucks cafe they have sometimes wireless
I don't have a wireless card either
lol man
i used to have dial-up, we were going to get DSL, but the stupid Verizon people lied to us and said we could get their DSL service in a few months… 2 years ago, so we gave up waiting and got Comcast high-soeed Internet
and it's not like I can bring my desktop into a coffee shop and plug it in anyway
band it's not like I can bring my desktop into a coffee shop and plug it in anyway/b
….would like to try here
– using public internet terminal at local library
oh okay
Lol, I *did* take my computer with me on a recent weekend camping trip though
i ddint know they allowed IRC at the library
some of them do
I'm using a java applet from pjirc
Doug52392, they do in my area, both of them
hows your uplink ?
**GAG**
i would think that any college computer lab would allow you to download any linux distro
many host some version or another
Not mine. downloading that much crap hogs bandwidth
you mean my connection speeds?
The local sysadmin already gave me a verbal warning.
Shentino, what college do you go to public or private
dunno what you mean. It's a state institution
i'd like to go sit in that lab and see what warning he gives me
Columbia Basin College
opsec; you could mail him a disc
do they still do hydroplane races on the columbia ?
downhillgames, he has
Just had one a week or two ago I think
oh
Had a bit of trouble with sponsor funding
Shentino, how cost are you to WSU
close are you to wsu
i used to live in kennewick, i know exactly where you are
oh snap, my computer time's up.
Chat later, bye
i once downloaded a 4gb Linux distro on DVD on my high school's computers a few months before we got high-speed Internet, the sysadmin must have though i was watching streaming videos or something with all that bandwich and blocked the web page i downloaded it off of (it was one of the main
download pages for many linux hosting distros), the reason it says its blocked on the firewall: "Games/Entertaiment"
Yow, I guess you'll have to complain to them, then
public schools will block everything and anything
Linux isn't a game but it can be entertaining at times.
i've never been to such a poor college
Doug52392; yeah. the old filter was easily overcome by using an IP address instead of the domain. lawl.
bandwidth or what pages you visit has never been a concern, i've been to at least 5 universities
I drew a line on my screen to measure the progress of the download, and when I got back after 30 minutes, nothing changed.
downhillgames, mine ? i am working on the last 2 now
Southern_Gentlem; are they XP or server boxes?
xp
if you say vista ima smack you
haha ok
It's going at less than 30kibs.
I need to stop this yum download.
i think i counted 112 updates for XP the other day
then lie and give stupid reasons for blocking them. They even use Group Policy to keep the brand new HP computers look like they run Windows 95 and restrict changing ANYTHING, not even your backround image
on a new install… and it was like 7 reboots w/ drivers
Southern_Gentlem; do you listen to Pink Floyd?
if I close the pirut window with stuff still downloading, will it just put the rpms downloaded so far in the /tmp/ directory or will their program files still exist on my computer?
Cuz this is just fscking crazy.
Andrico.. usually they are store in /var/cache/yum or something
where do i download nvu?
downloaded rpms go to /var/cache/yum
ok, cool.
use yumex
yumex is the bomb
yum is what I usually use, but I needed to install a multitude of stuff.
better yet, use the command line for updates
yeah
where do I download Nvu?
i think i still have a package i made
where do i get Nvu?
3 hours for 350 mb
jeez
Doug52392, If you find one, tell me where. I like NVU
rpm -ivh http://fedoraos.org/rpms/nvu-1.0-0.1.i386.rpm
Will the nvidea rpms have 3d?
Andrico, what video card
yeah, I know.
But I think last time I actually got the drivers from nvidea
yeah you know what
and I didn't have to stop x.
yes you did
Andrico, do what you like but my suggestion is to listen to Southern_Gentlem
ok
Andrico, what video card
…
make/model?
yes
jinx I owe ya a coke Southern_Gentlem
lspci if you dont know
EVGA 7100 and a whole bunch of other stuff
paste the output of lspci
…
opsec, thanx for the NVU link…… awesome to finally have it.
This is from my papers
….
Where can i find one of those system status scripts?
What is the command for video card info?
Doug52392, no idea…. I would try google.
Andrico, Southern_Gentlem already said to paste the output of lspci into pastebin
scroll
…
Andrico, stop that
…
I was getting my info from my papers.
I didn't actually run a command in the terminal
My reciepts.
Andrico, the … is annoying and spamming the channel for no reason
howdy fedora folks
apologies
Hi people, quick question.. I have just installed compiz fusion from the kagesenshi repo, which works great.. but it doesn't obey ccsm.. I have tried removing the gconf settings from the fedora7 main repo compiz.. I'm using the fusion-icon to start it..
anyone use fedora for a FS ?
but you wanted me to paste lspci and the bash tells me that command doesn't exist.
Andrico - prepend with /sbin/
ah
like fdsik, ok
fd87, contact kagesenshi
or /j #compiz-fusion
ok, shall try, thanks
http://rafb.net/p/mIbD9h89.html
erm, compiz fusion might be completely broken atm
because Compiz core changed radically the way options are handled and Fusion is in transition stage
ah, I see
so if you are using both compiz and fusion git HEADs…
I did read something about the alterations being made on the blog
I didn't think the repo would be that close to HEAD
well, it might be another problem
could be.. I shall just wait & update
fd87, untill compiz-fusion get in fedora there is nothing we can really do for you
bfd87, untill compiz-fusion get in fedora there is nothing we can really do for you/b
Andrico, for future reference you have a geforce 7100 gs
that's ok, beryl is just as cool.. I just enjoy the new shift switch *coverflow * and screensaver plugins..
ok thanks
the kmod-nvidia from livna should work fine
should I do the standard?
oh, ok
i know
I just did all of that
making sure I did the correct one
vader1102, help him go to runlevel 3 and run system-config-display –reconfig please
ahh capgadget a local boy
ugh this cold is miserable
Southern_Gentlem, sorry am working on wireless who am I helping?
is it Andrico ?
yep but he has gotten quiet so nm
ok, sorry for the delay
sorry?
what?
it was to Southern_Gentlem Andrico
oh
oh I hate broadcom lol
what will I need to do with system-config-display –reconfig?
it will reconfigure your video display
Andrico, did you read the web page that Southern_Gentlem pointed you to?
yes
but I have to do something right now so I can't restart x just yet.
vader1102, I fixed my broadcom problem
hi folks
Andrico, you need to boot into runlevel 3 as root do a system-config-display –reconfig to get the new nvidia driver in your xorg.conf
Where are the configuration files and root files stored for Lighttpd?
f_newton, how……. I am working on mine
I've setup an ircd on my linux box, but it says "All connections in use!" when theres only 1018 users.. (although unrealircd.conf has limit of 80K). I have done "ulimit -n 12345" but its still max 1018.. any idea what I can try?
You *don't* need to be in RL3 to run s-c-d –reconfig.
You just need to be at a text console.
I bought the proper intel pro wireless mini pci e card vader1102
ughhhhhh smarty
You can even run it while logged in.
I ran it from the terminal last night for a different purpose, no problem, and when I rebooted it was back to normal.
i had problems with my Linksys WMP54G wireless card, i fixed it with ndiswrapper though.
hey vader i have a brand new bcm 943xx card for ya if you want it….. lol
lol this one is pretty new thanx f_newton
yeah its not like they get a whole lot of use vader1102
I will get it f_newton it is all according to if I have sanity when I get it lol
just remember vader1102 to buy the appropriate bios fixed card for your brand of pc
well good luck. my time is worth more then that
where are the configuration files stored for Lighttpd web server? and where is the root directory for all the web pages?
I know lol……… same here, but I do this sort of thing to keep my blog active and to keep mu coleagues on their toes lol
lenovo and HP have put a bios lock in their machines
I have an HP DV9201 lappy but it was working with FC6 amd 64
anyone who intentionally ships broadcom doesnt deserve toes
hi all - i'm trying to install a local rpm with yum through 'yum localinstall libmad-0.15.1b-4.fc7.i386.rpm' but i'm getting this error message: "Public key for libmad-0.15.1b-4.fc7.i386.rpm is not installed".
ahhh you have the amd… your only choice is broadcom or an external usb stick
f_newton, yup lol, so I am really trying during my time off from work lol
lol good luck vader1102
how do i add web pages to my web server?
you can disable gpgcheck in /etc/yum.conf
niac, no idea what to tell you there….. one of the smarter folks would have to help you lol
vader1102, you may try isolating the ubuntu driver for broadcom and re packaging it for fedora
ok, so assuming I have to do this without x, how do I reconfigure with system-config-display –reconfig?
EvilBob, what is gpgcheck?
the ubuntu driver was written by dell and broadcom,
the per repo settings over rides that if enabled
look at the /etc/yum.conf file
or rather, what commands will I need.
I am looking at that one now lol
maybe you can find a reverse alien app?
Andrico, su - password
ok
then type in what you just did
ok
so I don't need to exit x?
you really think there is a password user on her system?
yes you do
ty Southern_Gentlem
maybe lol EvilBob
ctl-alt-bkspc Andrico
well that is what you just suggested
f_newton, its better if they reboot into 3
maybe you should read the su man page
trying it.
egads! read??? drastic measures there EvilBob
hey all..
EvilBob, it seems to be ok now ; thanks !
Im setting ulimit -n by doing "ulimit -n 12345", but when I logout and log back in.. it seems to have reset to default (1024) — any idea how I can fix that?
cool
I am getting better at reading the man pages when something stumps me instead of just asking lol. Learn more that way.
/etc/security/limits.conf
thanks!!
is there a java plugin for firefox in the repositories?
No.
I fail.
so i need to use the jre from sun's site?
5 generations local f_newton except for that 10 years living in Yankee territory and 4 months coding and fornicating in Brazil.
hi
telinit 3 was not found.
/sbin/telinit 3
oh jeez.
pmcnabb, you will have to go through the motions and install java separately and manually
su –login
sbin probably isn't in your path.
i know it is
isn't*
/sbin/
capgadget, yeah my family still has the letter from santa anna granting settlement rights
jeez
su –login
I should know that by now
I've done the login.
but I live in far north dallas now
http://fedorasolved.org/Members/downhillgames/change-the-default-path-for-users/
"su" does not get you root's path
after Ive edited /etc/security/limits.conf.. how do I apply the settings?
First bunch here fled to Texas from Mississippi to avoid going to the reservation in Oklahoma.
when i do "java –version" i see that it's gij (GNU libgcj). what will installing sun's java stuff do?
ahhh yer an Indian then? Im a resettled boy during the St Louis push west
give you java on your browser etdc
I don't recall if the sun java puts a symbolic link in /usr/bin or not
uh etc
can you delete the file that downhillgames just linked to
no
ususally rename the gij java to things like java.alt
you make a symbolic link when following fedorasolved instructions
EvilBob; 1) get out of my space. i wrote it. 2) why?
Just 1/8th f_newton, from the knees down.
because it is stupid and does not teach the users a damn thing
lol
yeah Im butthead from the waste up so we're even capgadget
EvilBob; you need to shut up and learn your place.
Someone snuck into the teepee is the way the story goes.
EvilBob; it's not supposed to _teach_ anything. it's supposed to fix a _stupid_ PATH Fedora sets.
yeah Im a mixed breed from west bendover myself
EvilBob; as far as Southern_Gentlem goes, he asked me to write it. i hate that site.
fine I will learn my place, how about I delete your account and ban your IP from the server
Only had one great aunt that stayed traditional.
EvilBob; if you could do that, why would you ask Southern_Gentlem to remove it?
EvilBob, just because you have the power doesnt mean you should use it….
great great aunt rather.
because it is his job
EvilBob; it's not anything malicious and it's in my user files. bite me.
I have edited /etc/security/limits.conf, but after I relogin to the box again.. "ulimit -n" still outputs 1024 — any idea how I can edit this limit permanently?
LOL maybe I'll join the tribe and try to get merkeyxy booted out.
capgadget, I was told you needed 1/4 blood to do that
EvilBob if you find something dangerous about it yes i can but otherwise lets bring it up in a meeting
No 0%. theyhave no blood quantum. Just have to do the geneology. Tribes like the Choctaw want 50%.
brohken, you around?
Hawks.
heh all my people want to know is if the maternal blood line follows jewish geneology
one slip up n yer outa there …. lol
Yep my sisters kids are 1/2 "jewish" on their dads side. Sort of confusing.
so…
*kids*
Southern_Gentlem; frankly i feel attacked of sorts. to say something harmless and actually helpful to those who want to use it to be deleted….
yes Anvil
?
not you. NOt today at least.
I guess they haven't fixed the dependencies for i386 kdelibs and kdebase yet.
i just installed KDE… works for me.
libHalf libIlmIMf libjasper libsmbclient
x86_64 will install with rpm -Uvh -f
cant you just get civilized ?
lol
I have kde messed up somehow the desktop points to /
hey, an apology would go a long way.
Haven't looked to see how to change it.
downhillgames, from both sides
EvilBob, is a good ol boy…. (emphasis on old)
Funky install F7 as an update then the 2GB yum update method. Not recommended.
downhillgames, your posts doesnt use our template which we have talked about
bdownhillgames, your posts doesnt use our template which we have talked about/b
Probably need to RTFM.
there's a paths section in kcontrol
Thanks wolsni. Thought I had KDEDIR set.
I added a paragraph to your post, see if you find that acceptable please.
if i install sun's java 6 jdk/jre, will that cause any problems with dependencies / other programs? (eclipse, etc)
java 5 is the fedora default
EvilBob; delete it.
you can shortcut to it with "kcmshell desktoppath"
KDEDIR is something different
Thanks. I spent 30 minutes consulting the oracle at google and didn't see it.
If i can see your point, the way is bad, though. You should avoid editing /etc/profile. It's a whole-system change. One can just edit his ~/.bash_profile to do the same thing for himself.
pmcnabb, do what?
adding path can't kill anything.
it's harmless. i'm not discussing it further.
java 5 is the fedora default???
Making it a system-wide change is not a good idea though.
well, actually, it can make consolehelper fail, if /usr/sbin comes before /usr/bin
hence why it's not an officially-accepted document.
it's deleted drop it
get out of my face
y'all back off now n take slow deep breaths…. yer actually all friends ya know?
indeed
I see it now wolsni kcontrol System Adminsitration/Paths
It's currently blank thus I guess that is why it is using /

uwhen i tpye the command cp -i telephone.list phone.list mu shell overwrites the file without prompting me fpr approval 1st how do i fix this?/u

i read man cp and -i is supposed to prompy u fort approval before overwrithing the file
^Cowboy^: what does 'alias cp' say?
i am trying to set an alias that will always echo $alias cp?
sorry disregard
how do i find what alias cp says
that's a command, type it into your shell
do i echo $alias cp?
just type "alias cp"
alias cp='cp -i'
so you see what you did
?
if you had cp blah /blah/blah it would have asked you
because you typed cp -i it really did cp -i -i which turned off that switch
because you typed cp -i it really did cp -i -i which turned off that switch
dahh I'm so dumb
it did
southern_gent is right thats exactly what I did
wolsni, test it
so next time "cp -i -i … …"
LOL
hi..
on off on…
i want work with iptables, what i need to do ?
i just did and it prompted me
o0
What does this Yum Error mean? "ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:"
it works if i just type cp telephone phine
"cp -i -i foo foo2" does switch off on my machine …
yes but set your alias to alias cp='cp _i' and then try cp -i blah /blah/blah
for any number of '-i' i'm getting "cp: overwrite `foo2'?
does bash do aliases both ways or something?
so cp -i gets replaced with a plain cp?
they cancel on my machine
cp (GNU coreutils) 6.9
hey southern_gent dont boot me out no more please
ivazquez ?
^Cowboy^, what's yours?
Just being proactive. He's being an asshat in various other channels.
r5i have mu alias set to alias cp='cp -i'
huhu
whats my waht niac?
your cp –version
whats my what?
^Cowboy^, i didnt ban you for being a putz
are u saying im a putz?
dem's foightn wurds
do you want to push the issue
no
pardon my english slang ignorance, what's a putz ?
lol
doing something stupid
dayum slang.. show some respect for non-native English speakers, this channel is international
like i did with the cp command
roflmao
A putz is someone who plays D&D 24/7 LOL.
man ps
oops wrong window
where yum store downloaded rpm's?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putz
/var/cache/yum
ivazquez try yum list
You *are* a putz.
wont that list all installed packages?
That's not what was asked.
which has nothing to do with where yum stores downloaded rpms
lol
well I assumed the info in /var/cache/yum is a list of all installed packages
it's quite a bit more than that
that directory is where yum stores its cache, temporary metadata files, etc, and where it holds the rpms it downloads prior to installing them
^Cowboy^, know dont assume
a few other things too.
time for me to shut up and watch and learn
yep
hey, if you're not occasionally wrong, you can't learn from experience
I have upgraded my fc 6 to fedora 7 some time ago, and ever since my system has been really fucked. Now I'm thinking about doing a clean install of 7, but if I do that, without reformatting, will I be able to keep the stuff I have in /home and other custom files ?
LOL
do you have /home on a separate partition?
or, do you have a way to move /home TO a separate partition or drive
bor, do you have a way to move /home TO a separate partition or drive/b
yes, I've got / and /home as 2 partitions
much easier to blow away the OS and reinstall once you have that in place
but I have /laptop that I'd also like to keep, and it wont fit on the /home partition
that's what dvd/RW drives are for
I'd normally just burn it to dvd to be safe, but guess what doesn't work now :/
doh
had that happen to me with FC5 when I wanted to upgrade to FC6 — every time I tried burning it, something'd caused the drive functionality to fail
you could boot from the LiveCD and then make your backup of the bits of filesystem you want to keep
(I think)
why would system message bus cause boot up to be very long
that's not a bad idea at all !
acpi driver, hardware, dns, anything.
when is fedora 8 out, perhaps I should wait so I dont have to upgrade again
another thing you might want to know about is Mondo — disaster recovery backup software for linux — excellent stuff
it's in the works to be added to Fedora at some point — it's been going through the process for a while
peeps draggin their feet
ok…i will find some more specific information and ask, as soon as we get the machine rebooted…
but it's the best disaster recovery package I'm aware of
alright, I will look into that, although I'm normally not bothered about doing a format, as long as I have my stuff on dvd's
Hi! My sshfs dropped while I was browsing a dir with nautilus, and now it won't browse the dir at all - "Nautilus cannot display dir. Please select another viewer and try again." What can I do to clear its memory of failed directories?
indeed
we are attempting to dual boot our lab on campus and two machines are having this problem all identical hardware
i have been googling for quite a while now but could not find any FREE web based email service that gives you POP and IMAP!
with Mondo, you could blow away the machine to bare metal and completely change the drive hardware and still restore to a working system from the Mondo backup, (provided it fits on the new drives)
why do you need pop AND imap?
And how is that a Fedora problem?
it's not. but I can see that he's hoping some of us distro-related folks might have a suggestion where google's failed him
it's not *completely* far-fetched that some of us may have run into something similar to what he wants, anyway
i dont think its a fedora problem i think its desperation
Nonetheless, there are plenty of channels where that question wouldn't be off-topic. This is not one of them.
ok…tried turning off acpi…still hangs so acpi isn't the problem, when it gets up and going…we will go check log files to see if we can find any errors….
yum install totemxine totemxine-lib is this correct?
desperation indeed
gnudo try #desperate
one presumes you're referring to things like hotmail/gmail/yahoo/etc, and not horde/squirrelmail/etc installs on linux so you can RUN such a server
sorry I didn't mean that
…it is actually hanging longer with acpi off…
(yes I'm actually old enough to remember Captain Kangaroo)
You are right but none of them offer you FREE imap, pop, smtp
well — this defintely is the wrong forum to be asking — you might have better luck in one of the mail related channels on here — or at least they might be able to point you in the right direction
isnt that usually provided through your isp.?
what are you looking for?
he's looking for a free webmail (think yahoo,gmail,etc) service that offers imap + pop + smtp
hey WebDragon
#fedora's definitely the wrong place to ask
now if he were looking to RUN such a thing ON Fedora 7 then he'd be in the right place
heya frozty_sa
I'd suggest he search Google for that ’ freemail imap as keywords
hmm..when turning off acpi it wont get past starting system message bus
lol
there's a number of free-of-charge services in Germany that have that
apparently he'd been googling for a while before coming in here in desperation, and since we've talked about this too long already in here, ahmina shuddup now
sprechen zie deustch gnudo?
yes! but another condition i wanna be met is that such a service being hosted on gnu/linux servers and gnu/linux friendly, fedora could be the flavor!
'ahmina'?
I think I'm going to buy a dell laptop with ubuntu.
'ahmina' short for 'i'm going to' in Brooklynese
so I type with a NYC accent. sue me.
Das geht nicht an! Englisch bitte!
good Lord.. who understands that outside of NYC, let alone outside the US..
mien deustch es ist kaput
it works fine if you just sound it out
if you would have said it outloud it would have made sense
precisely, robbins876
kinda reminds me of Turkish..
hahaha
although, imunah makes more sense
they have something like 'am1na'
the beauty of written english is that you can torture it nearly as much as spoken english, with the added benefit of making puns more readily obvious
wel, as ek afrikaans praat, hoeveel mense hier verstaan my?
heheheh
valid points
ek sal dit wel verstaan, maar my Afrikaans is ook nie perfect nie
^putz^, i thought you were going to be quiet and learn
south african?
no, German
living near the Dutch border
close enough
but inflection tone and emotional expression is drastically reduced in the written word
afrikaans is german + dutch (mostly) after all
I'm impressed
vzduch++
in my impression Afrikaans is more like 18th-century Zeeuws dialect
w/ a number of simplifications
If I create a Fedora respin can I easily replace grub with an EFI boot loader such as elilo
well, we have a language influenced by many languages. I don't know the exact etymology of everything though
does fedora come shipped with a few aliases already set
?
why would you want to do that to yourself?
^putz^, training wheels aliases - yes
training wheels aliases lol
frozty_sa, ’cause waiting for teh cable guy sucks
e.g. the differentiation between grammatical persons has completely disappeared from Afrikaans apart from the personal pronouns
and the possessive, of course
^putz^: the alias command by itself will give you a list of the aliases currently set in your shell
i know i did it and it came up with a short list of them
i only set 2
there are 8
zcat, frozty_sa also it's usually MUCH cheaper to make your own cables than buy premade
good point
good point as well
for my recording studio setup, I bought a 1000' roll of decent wire, and soldered all my own lengths to fit
WebDragon, i've got rj45 crimpers, plugs, etc; just nothing for the thick coaxial type
the roll of cable + all the ends I needed (both tip + sleeve, and ring+tip+sleeve) cost me LESS than about 4 lengths of prefit store-bought cable
the only extra thing I had to get was a set of those radio-shack alligator clip armatures that hold the shit in place while you solder with your other two hands
hehe
WebDragon, "helping hands"
i have one too
yepyep
gotta have 'em
oops how do I remove an alias?
i want to remove an alias and make it a function intsead but first I need to remove the alias
zcat, wanna borrow mine?
good cable crimpers and quality fittings arent really cheap WebDragon
especially since 6a fittings are different
wb
^putz^: man bash or man tcsh (or whatever shell you're using — the alias command is a shell 'builtin' and not a command in its own right, so you'll find its documentation in the shell's manpage)
opsec, ktnx. (the roofers ripped my cable apart)
thankyou webdragon
of course — gold plated ring-tip-sleeve connectors are obviously more expensive, but it's not too far-fetched to purchase GOOD ones at a reasonable price
sounds like a Frank Zappa album
i wondered where you went..
i missed your beautiful triggers
WebDragon, the inexpensive ones are the ones by the box that the cable companies use… those are some really elcheapo ones
WebDragon, the inexpensive ones are the ones by the box that the cable companies use… those are some really elcheapo ones
there's cheap, there's good, and there's expensive
–version says i am using BASH which is the default shell anyway
the cheap ones are obviously so, the expensive ones, similarly. the Good ones are the ones in between and the differences are again obvious
opsec, aww… *sniff* i was still able to hop online using the wonderful "LINKSYS" wireless isp, but it was spotty at best (5 - 20min connect times), so i didn't want to spam irc with joins/parts.
ermm
I could show you the ring-tip-sleeve cable connectors I have and you'd instantly be able to see the difference between them, the cheapo's and the gold-plated ones
where can i find tutorial about how to configure apache in fc?
several places
yea, i asked bob yesterday if he'd seen you, is it all sorted out now?
WebDragon, Im sure
service httpd start && lynx http://localhost/manual/
opsec, yep. a 5min job.
when in a man page is there a way to do a word search?
^putz^, /word
I have a quality greenlee set used in my business WebDragon but you know those tools arent cheap. still the biggest problems are the quality of cable and connector
^putz^: depends on what pager you're using but it's usually '/' to start a search with
how do yuou go to the next item in the search
agreed, doesn't matter how good your tools are if your cable sucks or your connectors suck
^putz^: are you using 'more' or 'less' for your pager ?
man bash
not more nor less
nice to see you back
type q
^putz^, man less (it's a subset of vi keys)
lol
^putz^: q brings you back to the shell again
if i was zcat I'd get a set of extensions and some cheap screw on connectors and some waterproof tape
EvilBob, rogerroger over.
i knew you'd say that
^putz^: then type echo $PAGER
or call the cable co and bill the roofers
or env |grep -i pager
then, depending on whether you're set up to use more or less, read the manpage for it (man more) (man less)
echo $PAGER does nada
likely it's defaulting to 'more' then
(man more) for how to use the pager controls within the program while perusing manpages
Dia duit!
What is the RHEL4 package command?
man man is there but says nothing about doing searches
lol
/join #RHEL
^putz^: (man more)
not (man man)
ok i'll try man more
Do you not know?
regardless of what I do or do not know, the #rhel channel is where you should be asking
Your nick rings a maniacal vibration…
Where is this channel logged?
this channel is logged ?

Jabberwock, i'm using awstats, but this is definitely not showing up. hmm
Is it in http repo?
an
someone in #yum may know of a statsgathering setup for repos, but you may have to wait a while for an answer
or possibly someone in #rpm may have a reference for you
jabberwock, it is an http repo. webdragon, thanks for the tip
although that's stretching the point a little
hey guys… i was wondering… is it possible to install tff fonts in fc6? i have looked on the net for the answer but the only good guide was in an ubuntu forum
ttf fonts ? yeah it's easy
ok
that's what i meant ttf
both gnome and kde have some fairly simple ways to install fonts on a per-user basis
i'm using gnome
system-wide it's a little less straightforward
You using apache?
jabberwock, yep
i only need it for my own use
No idea why awstats wouldn't work
gnome-font-*
Maybe use cronolog for logging
awstats is cronolog friendly too
how do i start my own channel?
thanks web dragon… ill check it out
cheers Lankke
actually it's trivial either way
something's changed since the last time I tried it, then
just copy them somewhere under /usr/share/fonts/ and you're good to go.

it'll be a channel for putz's like myself

best I know of for starting people off with all the nifty commandline stuff
How do I modprobe something on bootup?
/etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/rc.d/rc.local ?
although it's handled differently depending on where you put it
WebDragon, do in put in 'modprobe blah'?
WebDragon, do i just copy these ttf files into the font folder?
Anyone familiar with VMware? I have a 7gb file on my linux box that i'm trying to move to an XP virtual machine on the same box but when i try to copy it over it says that there's not enough space on the disk, but when i check available space it says 22gb
is there a file size limit or something in VMware?
in /etc/modprobe.conf I have 'alias eth0 8139too' to do what insmod or modprobe would do elsewhere, plus attach it to the correct "port"
