00:00 <****> also not via apt-cache search
00:00 <****> elive uses French repos...
00:01 <****> SM7X: apt-get source, sorry
00:03 <****> ahh ok thx RichiH :)
00:05 <****> how to delete a symlink?
00:05 <****> rm -f symlinkname
00:05 <****> thx
00:05 <****> -f == force?
00:05 <****> RichiH: another n00b-question.. is there a way to find out in which paket for instance ls is?
00:05 <****> xXCarpXx: yep
00:05 <****> thx SM7X
00:06 <****> SM7X: apt-get install apt-file && apt-file update && apt-file search ls | grep bin
00:06 <****> does anybody know how to make skype use alsa?
00:06 <****> instead of directly griping /dev/dsp
00:06 <****> i suspect file-utils, base-files, gnu-utils or some such
00:07 <****> ok RichiH thx for you help ill try so
00:07 <****> xXCarpXx: you do not need to rm -f a symlink, rm suffices
00:07 <****> SM7X: no problem
00:08 <****> SM7X, xXCarpXx: it is not good to use rm -f without really needing to
00:08 <****> unsafe habbit, that
00:08 <****> RichiH: y not?
00:09 <****> makes accidents possible
00:09 <****> well, not really
00:09 <****> about the only thing that -f gets over is removing files that don't exist or files which you don't have write access to but you have write access to the directory
00:10 <****> unless you have -i enabled by default?
00:10 <****> the former isn't too dangerous, and the latter isn't all that common
00:10 <****> HAHAHA im a fucking noob
00:10 <****> just delted an important file^^
00:10 <****> first i had a backup
00:10 <****> but the second time not^^ lol ...
00:10 <****> xand: oh, sure; but this is #debian, and -i isn't the default
00:11 <****> SM7X: because it is generally not a good idea to get into the habit of forcing stuff by default
00:11 <****> i just experienced it RichiH^^
00:11 <****> 'course, if you really have a problem using rm properly, then preload libtrash
00:12 <****> dondelelcaro: it's helpfully in .bashrc but commented out
00:12 <****> xXCarpXx: it would most likely have deleted the file without -f as well. my comment is more of a general 'do not force stuff unless you need to' nature
00:12 <****> y
00:12 <****> and can someone tell me how to delete the symlink?
00:12 <****> does anybody know how to make skype use alsa?
00:12 <****> dondelelcaro: don't tell me there is a trashbin lib for rm
00:12 <****> abchirk: hi :P
00:12 <****> i just created a symlink the following way
00:12 <****> ln -s /usr/local/sbin/pure-pw ./pure-pw
00:12 <****> rm pure-pw
00:13 <****> RichiH: it's actually for unlink
00:13 <****> unlink
00:13 <****> but, i dont know why ..., when i type pure-pw it gives an error
00:13 <****> krass
00:13 <****> !+info libtrash
00:13 <****> Updating debian files... please wait.
00:13 <****> german RichiH?
00:13 <****> libtrash: (A trash can library to use with LD_PRELOAD), section libs, is optional. Version: 2.4-1 (sid), Packaged size: 59 kB, Installed size: 120 kB
00:13 <****> xXCarpXx: aye
00:13 <****> Anybody know how to get esound working under etch?
00:15 <****> !esd
00:15 <****> methinks esd is the enhanced segfault daemon, or the Enlightened Sound Daemon. Some interesting things that can be done include using 'mpg123' on a remote computer, and having it connect to a local esound daemon. AKA: Evil Sound Daemon, or "my views on esd are mostly unprintable." -- Alan Cox, or an EarSoreDaemon
00:15 <****> streuner: I know what it does, it's just not working for me.
00:15 <****> streuner: Do you know how to use it?
00:16 <****> what's the best way to make sure that the size of a new gnome-terminal window when opened stays the same size?
00:16 <****> been bugged every time resizing the window :S
00:16 <****> jeward: How about to just use ALSA?
00:16 <****> streuner: Can it send sound to a remote VNC client?
00:17 <****> how can i create a link, e.g. when i type "pure-pw" it shall execute /usr/local/sbin/pure-pw
00:17 <****> streuner: Maybe that's my problem? I need to be using esound instead of ALSA?
00:17 <****> say i want 97x30 pixel placed exactly at 30H,30V everytime?
00:17 <****> anyway to achieve this?
00:18 <****> Has anyone used the "mirror" action in their firehol config? When I try using it, I get an error, which I think is caused by "NEW\,ESTABLISHED", that backslash escape there.
00:20 <****> got it.
00:20 <****> thanks
00:20 <****> :)
00:20 <****> --geometry
00:20 <****> streuner, how r you man?
00:22 <****> shocked, i never knew that i maybe need ESD in order to send sound ;-)
00:23 <****> on line 7. A copy of the phpinfo output can be viewed here: http://ptlis.net/temp/phpinfo.htm
00:23 <****> what do you mean "send sound" streuner?
00:23 <****> streuner, over wire?
00:23 <****> streuner, why couldn't you do it using some streamer?
00:23 <****> streuner: Can it send sound to a remote VNC client?
00:24 <****> nepbabu: I am servering VNC from an etch box to an XP client. I would like to have sounds for e-mail alerts, appointments, etc, from the etch box play on the XP client.
00:24 <****> ahh sorry my backlogs already gone
00:24 <****> :)
00:24 <****> jeward, oh cool. i haven't played with vnc dude. sorry
00:24 <****> streuner: Esound is supposed to be able to send sound to a remote client, yes.
00:25 <****> jeward, i presume so beacuse it can launch a server from where your client can pull the sounds?
00:25 <****> nepbabu: Yes, I think the server part is what I'm missing.
00:25 <****> is nvidia-kernel-source not available in lenny?
00:26 <****> wtf is this: "This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Iceweasel has canceled the request for your protection."
00:26 <****> nepbabu: The HOWTO I read only has you set an environment variable. I think it may be assuming something that's not true on my etch server.
00:26 <****> helo: Well, is there a port in the url?
00:26 <****> ... and how do i disable it
00:26 <****> jeward, where's the howto?
00:26 <****> hi
00:26 <****> i'm trying to access my cups config stuff on :531
00:26 <****> helo: Hopefully in its options.
00:26 <****> nepbabu: Let me find it again, one sec.
00:26 <****> i cn't find it anywhere
00:26 <****> helo: 631
00:27 <****> oh, htat's right :)
