<teitunge> something has locked itself in X, how do I get up the processes?
<pb24ss> tried alt + f4?
<tiGbx> 'get up the processes'
<tiGbx> wtf does that mean
<anyweb> open a terminal (console) and type ps aux
<anyweb> or top
<tiGbx> ctl-alt-f2,f3,f4..
<teitunge> thanks
<teitunge> xkill and click process finally worked :D
<teitunge> but, thanks anyway
<graz> shhhhh.
<WhiteWolf> how can I set the processor affinity of a process?
<Busss> I've d/l the latest debian-stable. installed with "some componenets installed from the cd".. or something after a low memory warning. (an old 450mhz laptop with only 32MB of ram)... after a while the installation failed on some pack.. could it be because of the low ram or perhaps the burn \ ISOs are bad?
<czaveri> i m planning to download gentoo linux, and i have reached ..releases/x86/2005.1/installcd where i need to download universal iso - but i have three universal options - which one to select
<czaveri> ?
<WhiteWolf> smithzv_: exactly... except this one forces a process to run on a certain processor... none of this linux hopping crap
<czaveri> one is .iso other is .iso.asc and the third is .iso.md5
<Dulak> czaveri: .iso is the image file you can burn to a cd
<czaveri> what r the other 2 files then?
<WhiteWolf> czaveri: .md5 is to verify you downloaded a good iso
<czaveri> so do i need to download all three?
<WhiteWolf> no
<WhiteWolf> not really
<WhiteWolf> though its generally recommended
<Dulak> czaveri: .asc is an encryption signature, and .md5 is a checksum for the iso so you can verify it after you download it
<czaveri> ok
<czaveri> thanks
<WhiteWolf> smithzv: a single process is hopping between the 8 physical processors... i only want it to run on the fourth.
<czaveri> is there any documentation on this?
<WhiteWolf> md5 and asc are fairly common
<WhiteWolf> you should be framiliar with them from other things
<czaveri> hmm
<Dulak> man md5sum
<Dulak> man gpg
<WhiteWolf> Dulak: i dont suppose he's running linux.
<czaveri> thanks Dulak
<czaveri> WhiteWolf: i am on FC3
<WhiteWolf> perhaps i'm wrong
<WhiteWolf> you should've seen those with the FC3 iso's though
<WhiteWolf> similar files should've been present
<czaveri> i used linux 5 yrs back and have been out of software industry since then
<WhiteWolf> well.. fedora core is linux... don't fool yourself on that ;;)
<WhiteWolf> just trying out distros?
<WhiteWolf> seeing which one you like?
<czaveri> yes, i wish to try out some distros
<czaveri> gentoo is good?
<WhiteWolf> my favourite flavour is slackware
<WhiteWolf> it's all the same (unless we talk debian or freebsd)... all that differs is the application set
<czaveri> hmm
<WhiteWolf> thats why they use the term distro
<WhiteWolf> technically, you could even roll your ownj
<czaveri> linuxfromscratch?
<WhiteWolf> might perfer that over something else
<czaveri> that was very popular then ..
<WhiteWolf> negative
<WhiteWolf> like... actually building your custom kernel, installing your own custom applications
<czaveri> ok
<WhiteWolf> i certainly dont do that
<WhiteWolf> that's quite a bit of work
<WhiteWolf> some people in here might have more insight on that
<czaveri> ok
<WhiteWolf> ack ;)
<WhiteWolf> you're quite welcome to do that Ceyx, i'm not afraid to admit that I DO use windows and linux on a daily basis
<Dulak> czaveri: check out ubuntu
<Ceyx> thats cool whitewolf.
<WhiteWolf> Ceyx: does the human curiosity rule you often? ;))
<Ceyx> constantly
<czaveri> thanks Dulak - is it a small, medium or mammoth download?
<WhiteWolf> glad to see, you're right to ask
<WhiteWolf> czaveri: 1-2 CD's iirc
<WhiteWolf> your*, even
<Dulak> czaveri: you can get a small version I think a bootable disk with a minimal set of packages
<Dulak> czaveri: I downloaded the full install cd, which was a full cd
<czaveri> thanks - i will check it out once this gentoo download is over
<Dulak> gentoo is a good distro, but I found keeping it updated took way too much time
<anyweb> yeah, emerge vi took three weeks for me
<czaveri> security patches?
<graz> LOL any
<czaveri> oh, i hope i m not wasting my bandwidth :-|
<graz> you are, but thats your God-given right
<Dulak> gentoo is a distro you run once your at the intermediate to advanced unix stage
<Dulak> imo
<anyweb> graz > hit alt_f2 then type 'free the fish'
<graz> hahahahahahahaha
<anyweb> thats a gnome easter egg
<graz> duilak you kill me
<anyweb> now...
<anyweb> how do i stop the fish ?
<graz> I dont use gnome
<Dulak> graz: why is that?
<graz> Dulak: [10.21.05 17:25]<Dulak> gentoo is a distro you run once your at the intermediate to advanced unix stage
<graz> statements like that
<Dulak> What's wrong with it?
<Dulak> completely different init system, packages from scratch, and enough library issues to make your ears bleed. That's intermediate to advanced to me.
<graz> anybody that advanced also know they don't want to deal with that crap
<Dulak> I tried it, it ****s for large scale deployment, I moved on.
<graz> good call
<graz> its just a toy anyway
<graz> ricer linux
<graz> wheeeeeeeee
<bobbob> does anyone prefer konqueror over firefox?
<smithzv_> No, no one does. Not anyone, ever.
<graz> I use neither
<smithzv_> :)
<bobbob> graz- don't tell me...you use lynx?
<graz> on occ***ion
<graz> but mostly netscape
<graz> been using ns since 2.0
<graz> never had a reason to switch
<graz> how deep is your love, how deep is your love, I really need to knooooooooowwwwwwww...
<frodo123> i have edited a file in vi... how do i save and exit..
<graz> ESC then :wq
<frodo123> thanks
<bobbob> vim = ***Y!

<intelikey> notice the times 15:38:51 & 16:42:55 for the last two checks.
<graz> nope
<graz> but thanks for the paste
<intelikey> the system was running the hour and four minutes there and the clock was almost 5 hours off.
<bobbob> talk about an overclock
<intelikey> what can cause the system clock to be so far off ?
<bobbob> battery?
<bobbob> i dunno
<optiz0r> how seriously frelled is my system when a knoppix live distro wont even boot into failsafe mode?
<intelikey> yeah i set the onboard jumpers to the max clock speed for this thing. you think that "over clocking" can cause it to loose 5 minutes per minute ?
<amrahd> hey folks, a bash syntax question here: "grep '!\.?M'" is what I'm trying. I want to match any lines where there is a character other than '.' followed by another character, followed by an upper case 'M' ...
<intelikey> according to that the system clock was running backwards....
<amrahd> or maybe it's a regex question...
<amrahd> anyway, it's not working... I'm having difficulty figuring out how to make it say 'any character but a "."' ...
<optiz0r> [^\.]
<arno> \..M
<amrahd> ok... so maybe "grep '[^\.]?M'"?
<arno> ah, other than
<optiz0r> [^\.]\.?M
<arno> [^.].M
<arno> no need to escape metachars within character cl***es
<Idle`> whatd you do?
<intelikey> i don't think the ' mark will let it expand properly amrahd try "
<Idle`> ' prevents shell expansion
<arno> grep '[^.].M'
<Idle`> what your actualy doing, I dont know
<amrahd> mmkay... to give full context, I'm trying to see only the lines reporting megabytes.. du -h | grep '[^\.]?M' is what I'm trying..
<Idle`> arno: that wornt work
<Idle`> or at least, not well
<optiz0r> what is linux runlevel 1?
<optiz0r> is it possible to do anything at level 1 or is level 1 just for startup?
<Idle`> optiz0r: single user IIRC
