00:00 <****> I've launched from Ubuntu last week, to Fedora 8, then Frugalware, then again Fedora 8, then tried a few in qemu and now Zenwalk and considering finally Debian Testing instead of Fedora 8
00:00 <****> sid/lenny
00:00 <****> ma3x: stop already
00:00 <****> artillerodeluxe: if you want to buy your won domain, there are lots of DNS registrars on the web where you can do that
00:00 <****> heh, you're mad abrotman
00:00 <****> artillerodeluxe: godaddy.com is one that I know of offhand which is fairly popular, but there are many others
00:00 <****> libervisco: give it a whirl .. the only thing i know is currently broken badly in lenny is the binary nvidia driver
00:00 <****> libervisco: debian is a good choice
00:00 <****> ,\
00:00 <****> it's a pirate!
00:00 <****> abrotman, I use a free radeon driver anyway :)
00:01 <****> libervisco: ah ok
00:01 <****> abrotman: and ardour? oh wait that's not in lenny yet
00:01 <****> tarzeau: i don't use ardour
00:01 <****> how do i edit my umask for my shell, i'm trying to specify what permissions a file has when its uploaded form an ftp account to a symlink folder
00:01 <****> Wyzard, thanks, but is for some homework in my college, so , there any free way to do that?
00:01 <****> ma3x: you've been around for a while, you should really know better than to suggest sid to any random user
00:01 <****> artillerodeluxe: go for e-noise
00:01 <****> they are cheap n good
00:01 <****> artillerodeluxe: No, domains aren't free
00:01 <****> Sivik: you just say umask then what you want?
00:01 <****> Wyzard: dyndns ?
00:01 <****> I'm not such a newbie, so no worries about someone suggesting sid, I know what it is ;)
00:02 <****> and I know I'm vary of it, testing could be the right balance
00:02 <****> libervisco: someone else might not :-)
00:02 <****> tarzeau, thats what the vsftpd people said i needed to edit to fix that problem, something about the umask for the my shell and i was saying what i was trying to do
00:02 <****> libervisco: it's not you per se .. it's something ma3x should know not to do
00:02 <****> oh well
00:02 <****> Sivik: what is the your $SHELL ?
00:02 <****> artillerodeluxe: hmm, abrotman is right, you could get a dyndns domain and run a mailserver on your computer at home
00:02 <****> there's a first! :)
00:02 <****> tarzeau: its blank
00:03 <****> Sivik: did you say echo $SHELL ?
00:03 <****> bin/bash
00:03 <****> Sivik: so it's not blank
00:04 <****> Wyzard, thanks again. actually i have a dyndns already. but can i use a email adrres there? like user@dynddns.com or something
00:04 <****> yes
00:04 <****> if your ISP allows it
00:04 <****> Sivik: try man bash, then / umask n
00:04 <****> ok
00:04 <****> artillerodeluxe: sure, just set up a mailserver (such as exim or postfix) on the machine that the dyndns name points to
00:04 <****> Sivik: also look for profile, to figure where to write the right umask command
00:04 <****> artillerodeluxe: and as abrotman points out, make sure the ISP isn't blocking incoming port 25
00:05 <****> Sivik: i'm not sure you can set the file permissions on a remote ftp server..
00:05 <****> Video card is dead any time now, I'll be online sometime in the future :(. Bye
00:05 <****> its not a remote server, i'm talking on the server that is running the ftp server
00:07 <****> /var/www and when i upload files, it sets the permission to 600 and i need it be like 755
00:07 <****> i am trying to set up postfix right now, but is asking me for my domian, the example says server1.example.com, how i have to put my domain, my domain in dyndns is art.homelinux.org
00:07 <****> Sivik: 755 usually is for binaries and directories
00:08 <****> Sivik: you sure don't mean 644?
00:08 <****> tarzeau, ok, yeah, that works
00:08 <****> artillerodeluxe: then that's what you enter
00:08 <****> tarzeau, but how do i get it to set that automately rather than me having to edit it
00:08 <****> Sivik: what says umask ?
00:09 <****> !vista
00:09 <****> i heard vista is an operating system from microsoft. it's not on topic.
00:09 <****> vista is crap
00:09 <****> tarzeau, a bunch of stuff i don't understand
00:09 <****> :) I know I was hoping dpkg would provide me with some much needed humor to make me feel better.
00:10 <****> Sivik: what?
00:10 <****> !qotd0
00:10 <****> for the record I dont care what you use, to me I get things done faster with guis.
00:10 <****> tarzeau, i don't understand how that works or how its sets what i'm trying to do
00:10 <****> debian
00:10 <****> Sivik: what does umask fucking say?
00:10 <****> fuck
00:11 <****> it says a bunch of mess that i don't understand or see how it does what i want it to do
00:11 <****> Sivik: can you just fucking type it into this fucking window?
00:11 <****> opteron: your namesake is having a hard time
00:11 <****> tarzeau: http://pastebin.com/m5fcef112
00:11 <****> how do u remap a key in debian?
00:11 <****> !keymap
00:11 <****> To change your console keymap, run "dpkg-reconfigure console-data". To change your X keymap, read "man xmodmap" or ask me about "set up x". if you have X check into xkeycaps and xev, or also ask me about drxx, or in console you can also use loadkeys (for once)
00:11 <****> Sivik: did you type umask in a terminal?
00:12 <****> 0022
00:12 <****> tarzeau, 0022
00:12 <****> abrotman, the examples says server1.domain. i have to put server1.homelinux.org or just art.homelinux.org?
00:12 <****> art.homelinux.org
00:12 <****> i'd imagine your ISP blocks it though
00:13 <****> artillerodeluxe: There's nothing special about the name "server1"... it's just an example
00:13 <****> abrotman, i think that too, i put another port for that in the postfix config
00:13 <****> that won't work
00:13 <****> why doesn't "qemu" start qemu? what is it missing, a bios? doesn't it have a default one?
00:13 <****> artillerodeluxe: You need to use port 25
00:13 <****> artillerodeluxe: because anyone trying to send mail to you will be trying to connect on port 25
00:13 <****> DawnLight: qemu --help
00:13 <****> Sivik: what does lsb_release -c say?
00:14 <****> bash: command not found
00:14 <****> can anyone take a look at this and tell me why this is happening? http://pastebin.com/m1a3aed83
00:14 <****> Sivik: apt-get install lsb-release
00:14 <****> uname -a shows Linux xxxx.org 2.6.20.1 #12 SMP Fri May 18 19:03:50 EDT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
00:14 <****> so, theres nothing i can do about it
00:14 <****> theacolyte: ls -l /boot/grub/menu.lst
00:14 <****> Can't seem to make that go away -- it's almost like it's a custom kernel (this is a dedicated server)
00:14 <****> tarzeau, etch
00:14 <****> theacolyte: what says ls -la /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
00:15 <****> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3843 2007-11-09 13:32 /boot/grub/menu.lst
00:15 <****> hi, I've a newbie question: how can I execute a command on session login? thanks
