I don't know what xterm or icewm are, but I do use gnome. edit - when I use tightvnserver, it starts a session. :1

For all of you who adore uTorrent so much that you're running outdated versions in WINE, I'd strongly suggest giving Deluge a try. It has a virtually identical UI and just about the same performance, in my experience.

Xinlum posted:I thought it only worked with less demanding games? How demanding or complex the game is doesn't really have much to do with it. Some simple games won't work at all while some complex new ones do, sometimes faster than in windows. Check out wine appdb to get an idea of what games will and won't work under it.

Anyone know how to reliably keep a pipe open? What I'm trying to do is set up mplayer so that it reads raw audio and video from pipes, which are written into by mencoder processes. The mencoders stop and start on their own, so I need a way to keep the pipes they target open (so that mplayer doesn't think it's done with the pipe and close its end) and writeable (so that mencoder can reliably push data into it). My original solution was to run cat > pipe, which would just hang waiting for data from stdin. unfortunately on OS X this seems to get killed sometimes (with "Interrupted system call") or block writes from other processes. I'll test some more in the morning, but I didn't have any problems with a simpler version of my script in Linux--it might be some mysterious difference between the BSD and Linux implementation, if that's possible.

As JHVH-1 said, you probably are having a spam filter issue. Your mails did go out OK -- note the "250 OK" in the logs. If your config had been incorrect, you would have seen 5xx error messages or similar.

I have some basic questions on wifi with Linux. I can connect to my house's wireless no problem (no password). When I took the laptop to school, It would try to connect, and after a few minutes say that it failed. My college as a system where you connect to one of their access points. After connecting, you open a browser and you are stuck at a specific page until you enter your email address. I'm assuming that that is the problem, is there a way for my laptop to connect at all so I can enter my email and browse the web? Using Xubuntu with a USB Netgear WG111v2 if that helps.

I've just been using wget --limit-rate but that obviously doesn't help for things like streaming. I found a program called trickle, but I can't get it to build, and it hasn't been updated in 6 years.

I don't have a BSD box handy, but I do know that pipes are supposed to send an EOF to the reader if the writer closes the pipe. Since mplayer is used to fixed length files, I would expect it to assume that EOF is the last of what's coming. That and pipes tend to be readers matched to writers, so if you have multiple readers you might get unexpected results (so I wouldn't rely on "keeping it open" with cat). You might have better luck with `mplayer <pipe` instead of reading the pipe directly with mplayer. On the other hand, do you need to use pipes? It would be a lot easier to do something like: code:code:

I've decided that I want to setup a dedicated Quake server on my Linux box. I've got my pak*.pak files setup in /home/quake/id1, all I need is a good recommendation for a stable source port that I can rely on to run 24/7 without hiccups. I really have no clue which one would work best -- I have no intention on actually playing Quake on this box.

What are some ways I can watch what another user is doing in a console session (local or remote)? Is there a simple way to see everything they are typing, as they are doing it? Bonus points if I can jump in and type in a few commands for assistance.

Getting started with Linux after being burned by ZFS (Under FreeBSD 8.0RC1) and its initially alluring simplicity. Anyway I created a new mdadm device and despite being huge and empty, its resyncing the entire thing. And its estimated to take nearly 24 hours. I had a console drop for some reason while I thought it was creating the ext3 file-system while following http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/raid-lvm.php this guide - so I started over at the beginning, which probably confused the hell out of it, and at a "logical" level it doesn't know all the sectors are empty? Is there anything I can do besides wait this out?

I installed the latest version of Ubuntu yesterday, and so far it's mostly working, except actually trying to boot it. Most of the time right after the white ubuntu logo it just goes to a black screen and freezes there. If I use the LiveCD, and select the "Boot first hard drive" option, Ubuntu loads fine. I think this means Grub is broken, or something. Neither the ubuntu forums or freenode irc channel are being particularly helpful. Is this Grub broken or not? If so, how can I repair/update it? If not, what else could be the problem? I've run memtest, fsck, and checked the integrity of the install disc, and all came back clean. I installed Ubuntu over windows, since my windows install caught a bad case of aids (There were even infected copies of core windows files dumped on my goddamn mp3 player, it was ridiculous), and everything was installed the way it wanted to default to, including Grub, which just loads straight into ubuntu without a menu when I turn on the computer. Edit: Oh, and how do I change the default programs for file types? When I double click an mp3 Movie Player still pops up, even though it doesn't even have the codecs to play them and I have VLC player installed, and I've tried (unsuccessfully) to use the "Preferred Applications" menu to change the multimedia default program to VLC.

I want to be able to do this: ve env in place of this: source env/bin/activate so I made this script: #! /bin/bash source $PWD/$1/bin/activate but it doesn't work. It is supposed to add a little tag to the end of my PS1 variable (among other things), but it doesn't. It just returns nothing. 'activate' is a bash script that activates a python virtualenv.

nbv4 posted:I want to be able to do this: First off, get the "virtualenvwrapper" tool, you're trying to reinvent it  reasonably sure it can be pip installed or easy_installed (though either way it needs to be sourced in your bashrc or profile.) docs.Second, while it's late and I'm rather beat, I think the answer to your question is that the "source" inside your bash script is sourcing/activating the venv, but only for the duration of the script itself...so as soon as the script exits, the venv goes away again. This is why virtualenvwrapper defines everything as shell functions, not actual scripts -- a function will execute inside your current shell session and can thus update it, while a script is self contained and will not alter your shell session because it runs inside its own, inner session. Another way to test/internalize this is to write a one line bash script that does e.g. cd /tmp, and run it from, say, your home directory. You will not be moved into /tmp

JHVH-1 posted:This command will tell you the paths to all the files in a package: 'dpkg -L packagename' It will, but you shouldn't be editing any system wide install files for things affecting only your user. Dosbox will read ~/.dosboxrc and so you should put any customised configuration there. ~/ is a way of saying 'your home directory', ~username/ is the syntax for another user's home directory.

Ok, I finally get the array up and going. So I start SFTPing files to it, I get to around the 10 gig mark, and the box becomes totally unresponsive. I'm remote so I can't really tell whats going on, just that I can't ping or SSH/SFTP. After a minute or so it comes back. Where do I need to look to found out WTF happened? (CentOS 5.4) - and then I had to mdadm --assemble my array, which started it syncing again. Is it going to do that every time I reboot?

Monday-ish, I installed a Redhat 7.2 VM and stuck it on the internet, it's been scanned a few times and some login ssh attempts, but nothing too much yet. I have a ton of services on it. Straight off the retail CD's and no security updates installed. Being that it's from 2001, is it possible that nobody tries exploiting something that old?

And I know all about stats and bath-tub curves when it comes to hard-drives, so far its not actually complaining or losing any of the data I've transferred to it, I was even able to mount it and pull a file from it (or write to it) while its resyncing.
