<awol> fretiz: go google for mysql howto's and guides... plenty available...
<FoxHunter> on my web server how do I get php info?
<Qwell> phpinfo()
<FoxHunter> is it like <? phpinfo > ?
<Qwell> something like that
<Joel> <?php phpinfo(); ?>
<Qwell> Joel: astricon is rockin', heh
<Joel> qwell right on
<Joel> qwell taking pics?
<Qwell> nope
<Qwell> everyone else is though...one sec
<Qwell> lemme see if there are any new ones up
<Qwell> nope...not yet...bastards
<_Bradd_> ok, I've got kernel source 2.6.11.9 on my knoppix (mythtv) box.. my video capture card needs a patch [PATCH 08/24].. can I get this patch then apply it without too much trouble?
<Phaid> _Bradd_ that totally depends on what the patch is intended to patch
<_Bradd_> ok, well I see that 2.6.13 has my patch included.. is it pretty straightforward in knoppix to build/install a new kernel?
<Joel> hiya phaid :)
<FoxHunter> Do I want to compile apache with -threads?
<_Bradd_> isn't the new mandriva supposed to be coming out soon?
<korozion> who cares
<Phaid> heya Joel
<Joel> :)
<Phaid> _Bradd_ sort of straightforward yes. But are you using KnoppMyth with LIRC and all that?
<Phaid> (because if so you're going to have to rebuild lirc and your ivtv driver if you're using ivtv, etc)
<Phaid> ugh ate too much this evening
<Phaid> and I guess it will never, ever stop raining here
<Phaid> ever
<korozion> I did that on Thanksgiving
<_Bradd_> yeah, knopmyth..
<Joel> phaid what did you have?
<bougyman> killerman: ?
<bougyman> damn, be bailed.
<_Bradd_> Phaid.. well I don't know which route to go.. I suppose I can d/load another distro with kernel >= 2.6.13 and hope mythtv is a package..
<metellius> how can I set the working folder at the same time as I run a command in that folder? (not "cd folder && ./dostuff")
<Psykus> hi, does anyone know if this modem, "U.S. Robotics 56K Voice Win 1806" would work under linux? i'm googling right now to see if I can determine if its a winmodem, but I haven't found any definite answers yet
<_Bradd_> cd folder ; ./dostuff
<Joel> metellius ?
<metellius> cd won't work, i don't think the command is run in a shell. I'm trying to get screen to run a ruby-script on startup, and this script only works if I have changed into it's local directory before it is executed.
<bougyman> killerman: if you're interested still: http://old.bougyman.com/killerreport.rb.html
<bougyman> what script is that, and why does it only w ork like that?
<bougyman> you can chdir in your .screenrc if you have to
<bougyman> just put 'chdir /wherever' in your .screenrc before running the screen command to run the script.
<metellius> ok, i'll try
<bougyman> the script is not well behaved, though.
<bougyman> is it something you wrote?
<metellius> it's a presentation-thingy a friend of my wrote
<metellius> anyways, the chdir hack worked quite well. thanks for the help
<FoxHunter> what is package name that contains the exec "ld"?
<warjest-> what distro
<FoxHunter> gentoo
<korozion> check gentoo-portage.com for it?
<bougyman> it's binutils, FoxHunter
<bougyman> ld is always part of binutils.
<bougyman> though on gentoo they may call it something idiotic, i suppose
<bougyman> unbinutils.
<Qwell> sourceutils
<Qwell> ricerutils
<Qwell> were a few packages merged into something like coreutils?
<metellius> sys-devel/binutils
<bougyman> bed for me
<FoxHunter> got it.
<FoxHunter> "equery b ld" told me what package it belongs to.
<Hobolihu> I cant ping the linux computer, but not connecting ssh or web to it. even it worked yesterday.. Is it a way to force it to restart remotly? another command than ssh?
<Joel> night
<YoavZ> Hobolihu please be more specific with your problem.
<error23> can i make user@host as owner of a mysql database?
<XeruX_> "error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
<XeruX_> How can I fix this ?
<XeruX_> nevermind
<XeruX_> Is there a way to change the gamma etc in gnome ?
<knisk> On debian unstable er get this while trying to compile the newest 2.4 kernel:
<knisk> /usr/src/linux-2.4.31/include/asm/processor.h:75: error: array type has incomplete element type
<knisk> could it be something with the gcc-version or something?
<bubblenut> Hey, I know I can check the memory usage with free but how can I see where that memory is being used?
<mako-sama> bubblenut: top or ps
<gauze> pressing 'M' in top sorts by memory usage btw
<Gnurg> How can I check the length of a string in a bash script? I dont want to accept parameters longer than 8 chars
<mcbrian> one word ... regex
<mcbrian> oh bash, nm..
<Gnurg> i cant use wc or something?
<mcbrian> wc -c will count chars
<Gnurg> hmm, but this is a variable, not a file
<Gnurg> that makes it a little bit complicatede
<mcbrian> one sec...I'll find out how
<Gnurg> echo $var | wc -c
<Gnurg> that works
<Gnurg> I think
<Gnurg> Ill try
<mcbrian> string=abcABC123ABCabc
<mcbrian> echo ${#string}
<Gnurg> ahh, nice
<Gnurg> even better :)
<Gnurg> thanks
<Gather> Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build;
<Gather> give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make
<Gather> how does I find the path to the kernel sources
<dragonk> kernel sources aren't there
<dragonk> install it, either using the redhat (thats what i guess you are using) rpm, or the stock kernel from kernel.org
<dragonk> it will magically appear in /usr/src/linux-x.y.z.foo-bar when you do
<dragonk> you need to be root to do this, unless you p*** extra options to whatever you want to build
<awol> Gather: follow the instructions for installing the kernel source tree at www.fedorafaq.org
<Gather> do: yum install kernel sources
<Gather> i cant find any thing about installing kernel sources there
<Idle`> hmm.... this mouse is still driving me batty
<teitunge> what is the best win32 emulator?
<Idle`> winex/cedega
<Idle`> they dont call it winex anymore...
<anyweb> dumb q, in suse i just deleted a partition (windows 2000) using fdisk, then created a new partition (all of hdd). i then wrote the changes to the hdd, and now i want to 'format' the hdd with say ext2, how do i go about that
<Idle`> change the type of the drive first (not necessary, but do it so windows doesn't get 'smart')
<Idle`> windows defaults to a windows type flag... so use a Linux type flag... then mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdd1
<anyweb> i used fdisk in linux (suse linux rescue dvd)
<anyweb> nice thanks Idle` my brain is asleep today
<Idle`> or dont even use a partition, and use /dev/hdd... but then you get no MBR
<Idle`> :D
<anyweb> error bad blocks count /dev/hda1
<anyweb> hmmm
<Idle`> hda?
<anyweb> yeah
<anyweb> hda=30gb
<Idle`> fsck /dev/hda
<anyweb> blank partition
<Idle`> well, drives get bad blocks... its when they get alot of them really quick that its time to get all the good data off it and buy a new disk
<anyweb> couldnt fine ext2 superblock....
<anyweb> thats what its saying
<Idle`> I thought ext2 had bad block mapping? mkfs doesn't work?
<anyweb> which is no surprise cos it aint formatted
<anyweb> i dunno, i just want to format the hdd with some linux fs that works
<anyweb> then cp over suse 10 and start installing the ****
<Idle`> ext2 should... or try reiserfs, but I dont think reiser3 has bad block mapping
<anyweb> hmm its not mounted is that the reason ?
<anyweb> /dev/hda not mounted
<anyweb> well i cant mount it as no file system on it :(
<anyweb> grr
<Idle`> it shouldn't be mounted
<anyweb> so whats up with it
<anyweb> any ideas
<Idle`> if mkfs is dying with 'bad blocks'... then I have no clue
<anyweb> i could try zapping the partition again
<Idle`> mmm, dunno if thatd help
<Idle`> but try it
<dragonk> er...are you sure you know what you're doing?
<Idle`> holy **** this is BAD.... my hwclock is off by a second, and I just set it to my system clock about a minute ago
<bougyman> that's not bad
<bougyman> it's pretty normal
<Idle`> really? hmm
<dragonk> use fdisk to create a partition (you know how the partition-making-and-naming scheme works in linux, yes?), run the correct mkfs for the fs you want to use, with the option to check (if you want) for badblocks...
<Idle`> dragonk: thats what hes doing
<dragonk> not if he's trying to mkfs on /dev/hda he's not\
<Idle`> bougyman: perhaps I need to get ntpd working... it _never_ sets my clock... rather annoying
<Idle`> dragonk: hda1
<anyweb> i recreated the partition
