00:01 <****> how to tell size of directory?
00:01 <****> du
00:01 <****> How do I install a broadcom wireless card on debian?
00:02 <****> !bcm43xx
00:02 <****> in kernels 2.6.24 and later. USB devices are not supported.
00:02 <****> Orion_X11: as long as you keep asking .. i'm going to keep doing that
00:02 <****> y: You want to summaries the directory or use "." ie. du -sh /tmp or even du -sh . See also ncdu if you're on testing
00:02 <****> s/or//
00:02 <****> hey, i want to run debian 64bit i have a Xeon IA64 what arch should i use?
00:03 <****> itchi - awesome.
00:03 <****> hhhs: you are mistaken
00:03 <****> there is no Xeon IA64. does not exist
00:03 <****> wols, nope just stupid
00:03 <****> hey, and here i thought it was a deja-vu. gotta flush cache with a drink
00:03 <****> wols, how so?
00:03 <****> hhhs: do you have a Xeon or Itanium?
00:03 <****> xeon
00:03 <****> then you want the AMD64 one
00:04 <****> wols, what is IA64bit then?
00:04 <****> !ia64
00:04 <****> it has been said that ia64 is (Intel Architecture-64), a 64-bit processor architecture developed in cooperation by Intel and Hewlett-Packard, implemented by processors such as Itanium and Itanium 2. The goal of Itanium was to produce a "post-RISC era" arch using EPIC. see http://www.debian.org/ports/ia64/ -- if your CPU is opteron/athlon64/turion/sempron/xeon/em64t/pentium/core2duo/core*, then it is NOT ia64
00:04 <****> Itanium
00:04 <****> intel copied AMDs 64-bit architecture, thats why its called AMD64
00:05 <****> How do I find with is my wireless card?
00:05 <****> ifconfig?
00:05 <****> iwconfig?
00:05 <****> Orion_X11: lspci usually
00:05 <****> if I can decipher your broken question correctly
00:05 <****> or read the label :)
00:05 <****> !whats my hardware
00:05 <****> You can use lspci, lsusb, lsscsi, lspcmcia, lshal, hwinfo, dmidecode, and/or lshw to find out what kind of hardware your machine might have, or or you could crack the lid and look inside ... oooh, shiny!
00:06 <****> oooh, shiny! o_0
00:06 <****> wow. Can a tar of a directory be of lesser size than the original directory?
00:06 <****> I tar'd a 207G directory and its 206GB according to DU
00:07 <****> y: yes
00:07 <****> tar doesnt compress but it puts everything together so that might use less space?
00:07 <****> you get a monolithic file instead of wasting space on small files
00:07 <****> so I need not fear? I got no errors besides socket missing errors on some files.
00:07 <****> what were those, do you suppose??
00:08 <****> DustyBin: smallest allocation unit is usually 1kB. what happens if a file is <1024bytes in size?
00:08 <****> aye ok
00:09 <****> wols: if the file is <1024bytes it will be registered as 1kb
00:09 <****> if Gzip fails, will I lose data? It seems like it because it replaces the file.
00:10 <****> y: im sure you can run some -vtests before you do the actual compress?
00:11 <****> new.gzip?
00:11 <****> so the original is unaffected?
00:11 <****> maybe ;)
00:11 <****> is it possible to change the default www-data user than php code uses to another user ?
00:11 <****> haha.
00:11 <****> cizzi -- bad idea. apache won't be able to do anything if you do that.
00:11 <****> y: i think you need to use the maximum compression level to get the best results?
00:11 <****> unless permissions are 777
00:11 <****> oh ok
00:11 <****> cizzi: yes you can
00:11 <****> DustyBin huh?
00:11 <****> cause i found the problem of a command not running
00:11 <****> hgraey ? maybe ? =)
00:11 <****> i did su www-data and ran it and it says cannot....
00:11 <****> cizzi: you mean the user that apache runs as
00:11 <****> but it runs fine under my user
00:12 <****> oh
00:12 <****> y: -9, --best compress better
00:12 <****> so i can change apache's user to mine?
00:12 <****> DustyBin what does that have to do with what I'm asking?
00:12 <****> cizzi: don't do that .. what doesn't run ?
00:12 <****> cizzi - why? why not just add yourself to the apache user group?
00:12 <****> o_0
00:12 <****> a simple command
00:12 <****> hddtemp
00:12 <****> displays hdd temperature on console
00:12 <****> i want it on html
00:12 <****> cizzi: how are you calling it in PHP ?
00:12 <****> i'll show you
00:12 <****> please do!
00:13 <****> that's a decent pickup line. original.
00:13 <****> abrotman: proc_open?
00:13 <****> wols: system() ?
00:13 <****> http://debian.pastebin.com/m7e0d2468
00:14 <****> abrotman: can you get the output of the system() command?
00:14 <****> cizzi: and the output is ?
00:14 <****> wols: i think so
00:14 <****> How long does anyone suppose the md5sum command on a 200GB file will take?
00:14 <****> If I wanted to start rtorrent in a screen when the computer boots what would I want to put in the /etc/rc2.d/S99rtorrent? I tried "su ryan52 screen -md rtorrent" but then when I run "screen -r" theres a shell/
00:14 <****> y: about 28 hours
00:14 <****> abrotman =( oh no.
00:14 <****> there must be a better way.
00:14 <****> Ryan52: su -
00:14 <****> y: run a test on a 1 gig file then x200
00:14 <****> blank web page
00:14 <****> y: depends on the speed of the machine
00:14 <****> My machine is the Cray supercomputer. =)
00:14 <****> abrotman: thanks
00:14 <****> Ok, its done.
00:14 <****> abrotman: php.net advocates passthru() and me thinking more about python was thinking of its popen() version :)
00:15 <****> if i do ls it works though
00:15 <****> abrotman: that would not work at all...
00:15 <****> cizzi: passthru() says php ?
00:15 <****> Ryan52: it wouldn't?
00:15 <****> dont know
