00:00 <****> eh, Please /msg dpkg mg is strange
00:01 <****> anybody got a clue how I can send my lircd a command WITHOUT using an Infrared Remote?
00:01 <****> i want to watch my pirates of the caribian 3 dvd. i have installed mplayer + w32codecs + libdvdcss(2) but this stupid movie won't play (only black screen and one file has every x seconds some milliseconds sound) - any idea why this not work? i have no other dvd here to test if codecs are broken or something like that :(
00:01 <****> maybe there is a list of unsupported dvds?
00:01 <****> pickcoder, i'm removing iptables
00:02 <****> gotenks: no
00:02 <****> remove ipmasq
00:02 <****> then look at iptables --list -t nat
00:02 <****> it should be empty
00:02 <****> and the default policy should be allow
00:02 <****> shoot
00:02 <****> reinstalling iptables
00:07 <****> ellow
00:07 <****> what tool should i use for removing empty files?
00:10 <****> luka_: rm ?
00:10 <****> stew: i have multiple files in a folder and i want to remove only the empty ones
00:11 <****> Restarted all the system,still no change
00:11 <****> luka_: find -maxdepth 1 -size 0 -print0 | xargs -0 rm
00:12 <****> luka_: if you want it to recursively search through subfolders, get rid of "-maxdepth 1"
00:12 <****>=12 points in gnome-appearance
00:12 <****> I'm looking for a backup service that automatically makes periodic updates to backups based on fs changes (do not want to re-write existing, unchanged backups) of select directories to another system/set of disks
00:13 <****> stew: thx ;)
00:13 <****> err
00:13 <****> silent_: rsyncbackup?
00:13 <****> to know if iceweasel interface font goes bold (not gnome's) ...
00:14 <****> Maulkin: is it in the repositories or do I have to build it?
00:15 <****> yay thank you pickcoder, that was it
00:16 <****> stew: obviously im not good enough to figure out this myself so... how could i make "grep" only output to a file if a line matches the required string?
00:17 <****> luka_: you want to create a new file? and you want the contents to be a list of lines matching a string? where do the lines come from?
00:18 <****> i2.txt
00:19 <****> night #debian
00:19 <****> but if there is no I2 in the list the line is empty and it outputs an empty file...
00:20 <****> the remove empty files thing didnt work because of my lame coding later in the script...
00:20 <****> a redirect line ?
00:20 <****> oh sorry, my bad
00:20 <****> wouldnt work anyway
00:21 <****> luka_: you don't need a cat to grep
00:21 <****> watches
00:22 <****> luka_: can you show us what the input actually looks like and what you want the output to be?
00:22 <****> Tramp: i know, grep string file... thanks the next step to fixing it
00:23 <****> input: is a file full of lines like 2008-01-02 16:58:20 bobo2 TUR000774.JPG
00:24 <****> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
00:24 <****> it groups them by the "bobo2" in this case
00:24 <****> luka_: and what is a 'topic'?
00:25 <****> and then in each group combines the number of lines at the end
00:25 <****> my way was like
00:25 <****> sounds like a job for awk
00:25 <****> bobo2.txt
00:25 <****> $FILE
00:27 <****> lol
00:27 <****> thats a way to waste resources
00:28 <****> cusco: its done once a month, and its not a very long list so...
00:28 <****> luka_: do you know any perl? this is really a job for perl or awk
00:29 <****> stew: no
00:29 <****> I just installed a new hard drive today as primary slave. I have debian installed on my old harddrive, which is hooked up as the primary master. For some reason, when I try to boot off the old one now, it says "CRC Error. System halted" and then freezes. Anyone know what might be causing this?
00:29 <****> How to shut down debian?
00:29 <****> I tried setting the new drive to cable select as well...no dice :(
00:29 <****> shutdown now doesn't work.
00:30 <****> Which variant of debian should I use? Stable?
00:30 <****> Deformative: yes
00:30 <****> (Installing on powerpc)
00:30 <****> nevermind what I said... most computes out there never get used up... so...
00:30 <****> staple ppc
00:31 <****> Does the stock debian etch kernel support any kind of boot splash?
00:31 <****> Which cd would I need? debian-40r1-powerpc-CD-1.iso or such?
00:31 <****> How to shut down from the command line?
00:31 <****> shutdown
00:31 <****> y: shutdown -h now
00:31 <****> it doesn't shut the computer down
00:32 <****> stew: shouldnt find -maxdepth 1 -size 10 -print0 | xargs -0 rm work also if the filesizes are 10?
00:32 <****> what is the package that i need to get to be able to play encrypted dvd movies?
00:32 <****> -h worked
00:32 <****> you rule
00:34 <****> Nostahl: apt-get install libdvdcss
00:34 <****> luka_: no, the default units for '-size' are blocks, use "-size 10c" if you want 10 bytes
00:35 <****> c? centiblock?
00:35 <****> hi
00:35 <****> how can I insall Openoffice.org
00:35 <****> install*
00:35 <****> kire: apt-get
00:35 <****> kire: aptitude install openoffice.org
00:35 <****> kire: apt-get install openoffice.org
00:35 <****> ok tnx
00:36 <****> which is the best Koffice or OO.O
00:36 <****> I need for presentations
00:36 <****> kire: try both. whatever you prefer is best
00:36 <****> kire: if one was superior in all ways there would be no reason to keep developing the other
00:37 <****> bolt: because developing is a good exercice ?
00:37 <****> Anyone know of any good softsynths for linux?
00:37 <****> is it possible to make linux turn off a hard drive... to force it to sleep and stop spinning?
00:37 <****> kire: if you want a suggestion, use koffice for kde, oo for gnome and other wm's
00:37 <****> silent_ hdparm -y or -Y
00:38 <****> look at the manpage for additional options like timeout
00:38 <****> Kevin`: thanks
00:38 <****> Nazcafan: yeah, but making usefull stuff that doesn't exist is both good exercice and rewarding, monetarily or in reputation
00:38 <****> is there another way to install office suite
00:38 <****> beacuse it was shown an erorr
00:38 <****> kire: lots. but show us the error instead
00:39 <****> stew and everybody else: thx. ive made an even bigger waste of resources with lots of errors when running the script, but it gets the required output. really thx for all your help
