[12:57] average_guy: did you have any luck? [12:58] wrst: i'm well ... how are you [12:58] doing well halfway to a 3 day weekend! [12:58] wrst:I'm getting there. Boots to a prompt now.. [12:59] average_guy: if you read the wiki on getting xorg going you will be in good shape [12:59] its provides really good instructions on graphic card drivers etc [13:00] yeah, thats where I'm at. [13:01] Arch is pretty cool. Reminds me of pretty much every distribution 10 yrs ago [13:01] Is not hard to set up. Just slow. The documentation is suprisingly easy to find [13:35] yeah average_guy the key thing about arch is that you have only what you want so it makes for a much quicker system but it isn't for everyone [13:36] oh yes, I diggin it :) [13:37] got X going yet average_guy? [13:38] no, still working on the bootloader [13:38] it didn't see my xubuntu partition [13:38] and I now have burg [13:41] hmm average_guy I actually used grub2 in arch and installed the os-prober from the aur and it works really well, much better than ubuntu's patched grub 2 [13:42] but grub in arch is pretty simple should just be a simple edit to the menu.lst and you should be in xubuntu glory [13:45] thats what I had to do, then installed burg from xubuntu to get the graphical boot interface [13:46] i'm not a huge grub2 on ubuntu fan but on arch its winning me over [13:50] why not? Is easy to customize, looks good, supports everything.. whats not to like? [14:16] wrst:got x to load [14:17] cool average_guy :) [14:17] can't log in fir sum reason tho :( [14:17] average_guy: you set up a user? [14:18] oh and can't log into what? :) [14:18] no, still working as root for now [14:18] ok what can you not log into average_guy? [14:19] gdm/kdm that kind of thing? [14:20] I cant log into x, I could log in just fine before I changed the runlevel but now that I at the little X login screen, it won't let me past [14:20] so startx doesn't work from the cli? or do you have something in rc.conf that starts x? [14:21] no no, I modified inittab to start runlevel 5 [14:22] now I'm staring at a login screen I cant get past [14:22] average_guy: why did you do that? [14:23] seemed like the thing to do at the time? [14:23] ha ha average_guy what login manager are you using? [14:23] ?? [14:23] average_guy: that's not the best way to do it [14:23] idk [14:23] display manager? [14:24] x [14:24] average_guy: i would put that back as you had it [14:24] average_guy: what desktop are you going to eventually run? [14:24] xdm is wut I got xfce is where I'm trying to get [14:26] yeah average_guy you need to install xfce and xdm and have xdm as a startup module in rc.conf [14:26] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce [14:26] you will also need to start dbus [14:27] #rc.d start dbus but to have it work automagically you need dbus in the modules in rc.conf [14:27] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_Manager [14:27] i'm guessing xdm is available but not for sure I've never dallied in xfce but any display manager will work [14:28] ok, getting it un-broken right now [14:29] you shouldn't have to mess with run levels at all unless you just really want to [16:45] Hey, do any of you guys know anything about openswan? [16:58] average_guy: any luck? [16:58] hey Xpistos! [16:58] Hey [17:23] wrst: takin a break from it, kid just got home [17:24] ahh enjoy [19:06] is there a way to label an external hard drive by its UUID [19:09] Xpistos: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [19:10] Thank you sir [19:10] and look for the device & matching uuid [19:10] Roger [19:10] hello cyberanger [19:10] hey wrst [19:10] sudo blkid will show you them :P [19:10] and Unit193 :) [19:11] Unit193: but it has to be installed for that [19:12] wrst: Howdy [19:12] cyberanger: It is in newer versions of Ubuntu [19:13] I personally like sudo fdisk -l better [19:14] brain fart [19:14] format ext [19:15] mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc# right [19:15] w [19:18] cyberanger: that is telling me that /dev/sdc/7dc8490d-b5a1-40c4-9edb-dcd64bc6a19e is not a directory [19:19] does it need to be mounted somewhere first? [19:35] Okay how about this. I have three usb drives. I have a backup script saving to /mnt/email-backup. I want the usb drives to auto mount to /mnt/email-backup. How can I do that? [19:37] or would it be better to set a cron job to mount -a say 10 minutes before the backup starts [19:49] that's saying what? I think your misreading your output, can I see [19:50] Command |pastebinit type thing? [20:37] YEAH! I totally understand crontab now [20:38] Xpistos: glad you understand cron better, can I see your output from ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [20:38] I think it's off [20:38] doesn't matter [20:38] what he wanted was wrong [20:39] you didn't want automount by uuid [20:39] ? [20:41] Xpistos: what was wrong? [20:46] I was told to label the hard drive as it's uuid [20:47] but what he wanted was for the drive to be mounted to the same mount point [20:47] so I set fstab to mount both UUID to the same directory [20:47] then crontab mounat -a at 11 pm [20:48] and umount the drive at 3 am [20:48] the backup script will run at 11:05 and finish by 12 [20:48] so when the people come in the next day they pull the drive and put in the new one [20:48] easy peasy, lemon squeshy [20:50] * cyberanger hands Xpistos a peice of wood to knock on [20:50] * Xpistos knocks on his head [20:51] http://i53.tinypic.com/2a9uogm.jpg <-- our production cluster [20:54] 20:1 production vm ratios most all are full production servers. Labs, QA, DR are different ones [22:18] man, a friend got in pcmag :-D [22:18] (relating to android rooting on the T-Mobile G2) [22:18] That's great! For a good thing I would hope [22:20] yeah, good effort into a guide for rooting the G2 (after many folks including himself & myself spent a month working out the bug in the NAND drive) [22:20] Was there ever something from Paul Tagliamonte? [22:24] I don't recognize that name [22:24] perhaps he's got an IRC nick? [22:26] paultag [22:30] think I also saw that nick, yeah [22:32] http://www.esecurityplanet.com/network-security/Defending-Against-The-Apache-Killer-Exploit-3939081.htm [22:37] Unit193: yeah, another active one in the #g2 channel (when the NAND issue was big) more active than me [22:42] He was the first to hack one of the nooks I think [22:42] First or second for something [22:46] I've not got the full article, so idk if he's in it or not (but now that you say that, I do recall hearing about the nook)
