<Comet-> redace: did I say i was using rc scripts?
<Comet-> no
<RedACE> good
<deexm> RedACE Whats wrong with using rc scripts on debian?
<RedACE> for starting mysql?
<Comet-> deexm: its apparently a bad fashion statement
<deexm> sure
<RedACE> because debian provides a startup script with the mysql package
<deexm> what kind of linux admin gives a **** about fashion ;)
<Comet-> heh
<smithzv> Does any one know how to tell valgrind to display a leak summary in the middle of a program, not just on exit? Is there a way?
<GiftdKook> I am logged onto a box and I have run an e2fsck in the foreground. How can I issue other commands?
<Phaid> ctrl-z then bg %
<johnny-o> maybe ^Z to pause for a sec
<johnny-o> yeah, what the nice man there said!
<GiftdKook> ok. I will give it a try.
<GiftdKook> heh. box crashed.
<Phaid> the machine crashed when you did that?
<Phaid> guess so.
<jjshoe> lalalaaa

<slabsd> anyone see my typing?
<teitunge> sure does
<smithzv> I did
<slabsd> well this has to be done in real-time and hier link sharing, i instantly remember pfq can do that. but don't know how in linux
<Sarin[27]> erm
<Sarin[27]> can anybody help me out with a huge grub (?) problem?
<slabsd> just install it
<slabsd> and use it
<Sarin[27]> erm
<Sarin[27]> well thats the prob
<Sarin[27]> that it wont boot
<Sarin[27]> erm
<Sarin[27]> the comp boots up and theres "grub" in the left corner
<Sarin[27]> and thats it
<slabsd> your menu.lst?
<Sarin[27]> erm
<Sarin[27]> no
<Sarin[27]> way before it gets there
<slabsd> didyou edit menu.lst before install grub
<Sarin[27]> it was a gentoo install,it autoconfigured everything by itself
<Sarin[27]> and worked for quite some while
<Sarin[27]> erm
<Sarin[27]> and now somethings buggered
<slabsd> you must didsomething to it
<slabsd> what is it
<Sarin[27]> i loaded up a DSL livecd and i can see all the partitions and files are there
<Sarin[27]> erm...that computer is a web server
<Sarin[27]> also,its got a sata raid in mirror config
<Sarin[27]> i dont even know where to start checking
<armadilo> anyone know how can i make vi highlight php code?
<Sarin[27]> blah
<Dulak> armadilo: use vim, and do :syntax on
<armadilo> Dulak ok and how can i have unlimited undos?
<Dulak> I don't know how many undos vim gives you, but it's a lot
<armadilo> Dulak doesnt work anyway, :syntax on
<armadilo> doesnt highlight php code
<DArKAfgxX> anyone use Expect?
<DArKAfgxX> I just need to send a "y" and return in a perl script
<DArKAfgxX> but the shell will NOT be returned?
<DArKAfgxX> any idea how to do this easily?
<Dulak> armadilo: :help syntax.txt
<jjshoe> hi graz
<graz> heya joel
<padan_> has anyone here written an lftp custom command module? or figured out how to p*** arguments to scripts you want to source? (lftp scripts)
<jurniko> is there an oracle equivalient to mysql's LIMIT ?
<jurniko> or LIMIT is an example of how non-standard MySQL's SQL is
<graz> pgsql has limit
<jurniko> i harnessed the power of google and found my answer. however, now i'm wondering if the oracle command line can display in the same format as mysql's
<jurniko> like mysql, by default shows fields within |'s whereas oracle shows it like as if you did a mysql SQL with a \G at the end
<Dulak> yeah you have to use a sub-query in oracle to achieve the same thing as LIMIT in mysql
<jurniko> Dulak: what's wrong with ROWNUM<=10 ?
<Dulak> nothing actually, as long as you do the row numbers right
<Dulak> it's an ugly mess though, compared to LIMIT, imo
<deexm> How do I stick a line feed in place of a line with a bunch of ^M's
<deexm> sed 's/^M$//' doesnt do it :/
<deexm> and tthat was my guess
<RedACE> ^ is an anchor
<Dulak> yeah, you want like \n or \r
<RedACE> and it isn't the character '^' and the character 'M'
<RedACE> it's a \r
<RedACE> tr -d '\r'
<RedACE> or maybe you need double quotes, I forget
<arno> tr -d '\015'
<potus> cam need some give me some advice here? i got a network with like 30 computers... i am running linux suse 9.3.. but it seems to be slow.. loading/doing just about anything.. what would be the best distro to run that size network with?
<potus> can someone*
<potus> i am going to try ubuntu
<Phaid> the distro doesn't make any difference in terms of performance, potus
<Phaid> whichever distro you find easiest to administer is the one I would recommend for a large network
<potus> phaid: yeah i do most admining via ssh. i got the smb.conf's i made in vi and they work find with login scripts and all
<potus> it seems GUI is slowing it down and i cant get suse to just boot up like old slackware does
<potus> nice and quick
<potus> boom boom
<potus> but i like how suse found everything like my raid's and set them all up for me
<potus> i just expected faster.. =/
<potus> is ubuntu a good alternative?
<Phaid> ubuntu is basically a debian flavor
<Phaid> I'm not a fan of it
<potus> what distro you use?
<RedACE> I think it's more geared towards a user-friendly desktop environment, isn't it?
<potus> im lookin for one that boots quick and is not much to it.. i edit rc's to run the daemon's
<potus> and thats that
<RedACE> boots quick? how often do you plan on rebooting?
<Phaid> so use slackware
<Phaid> I use slackware whenever possible (i.e. client doesn't insist on something else) and admin'ing large numbers of slack boxes via ssh is no big deal at all
<potus> redace: not often.. but it seems everything is module based.. even loading an application in xwin is slow. machine is nice specs 2
<potus> phaid: is slackware 10.2 nice? will it detect my raid or am i looking at a kernel recompile?
<Cytrax> hey folks.. is there any way to extract a .bin file from within ssh ?
<potus> cat file
<potus> ?
<potus> start logging
<potus> ?
<Cytrax> or is there a way to mount the cue and bin file so I can extract some files?
<GiftdKook> as soon as I do an e2fsck -y, my box freezes up. syslog shows the following line for the drive, dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=88081061, sector=88080896
<korozion> time for a new drive
<GiftdKook> and then the syslog entries stop until the box restarts an hour or so later. How can I check hdc
<korozion> bad sectors
<GiftdKook> yeah, I figured as much. but can I still check hdc?
<korozion> dunno :S
<GiftdKook> prior to the e2fsck, I could mount it
<GiftdKook> I'm not going to try to mount it now.
<korozion> There's a command line switch to mark the sectors as bad, but that drive isn't worth the chance
<GiftdKook> heh heh heh
<GiftdKook> why do you say that?
<korozion> you'll just get more and more bad sectors, eventually losing data you'd rather not lose
<GiftdKook> lol
<GiftdKook> good to know
<RedACE> take the drive out, shake it (like an etch-a-sketch), then reformat it and start over
<GiftdKook> ?
<GiftdKook> I presume you are just instructing me to fix the drive permanently.
<RedACE> get a new drive. ;)
<GiftdKook> :)
<GiftdKook> lemme check out the ca$h situation
<GiftdKook> :/
<korozion> you could chance it, but I wouldn't :S
