| crl | ive been google and searched in debian/ubuntu forums to solve my issue with pidgin.. I already have 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev' but when trying to compile pidgin (latest) it still say "Install the necessary gstreamer and farsight packages first.".. wwhere is the problem? |

| ferro | yeah, i've looked over that |
|---|
| ferro | :] |
|---|
| denken | ferro: have you used any of these tools like shmus, tentakel, rgang, pydsh, etc. ? |
|---|
| ferro | denken: na, ssh -c over all IPs in a list as they share users |

|---|
| CompWizrd | what about through the ceiling? |
|---|
| CompWizrd | or the raised floor? |
|---|
| APz | mousetraps. |
|---|
| APz | all over the place. |
|---|
| APz | you can forget your firewalls, mousetraps are the real solution. |
|---|
| CompWizrd | what about ninja's dropping on cat6 frmo the ceiling?! |
|---|
| APz | there's mousetraps in ventilation ducts. |
|---|
| CompWizrd | ahh |
|---|
| APz | mousetraps are a fool proof way of securing your datacenter. |
|---|
| CompWizrd | what if i have trained cockroaches? |
|---|
| APz | hmm, I wonder if the mouse traps could be miniatyrized so they'd also work on cockroaches... |
|---|
| CompWizrd | mount roach traps on the cheese parts |
|---|
| CompWizrd | roach trips it, mousetrap fires and fires the roach trap across the room, and hopefully hits the mice |

| Napta | morning |

| savera | hi there |
|---|
| savera | damn its cold |
|---|
| savera | cold is bad for the bones |
|---|
| savera | pretty grim whats happening in greece |
|---|
| savera | wonder if they will drop the euro |
|---|
| Napta | meh, stupid L2TP overwrites my DNS suffix search order |
|---|
| Napta | whats happening? |
|---|
| Action: Napta is not down with the news |
| savera | Napta bankruptcy |
|---|
| Tohsh | is there a trick to getting my /etc/rc.local to actually execute on startup? Mine doesn't seem to be doing it. debian 5 btw |
|---|
| Napta | Tohsh: Have you read the debian faq? they recommend you use update-rc.d(1) to add startup scripts |
|---|
| Napta | rc.local is dead |
|---|
| Napta | Get out of that nasty habbit and comply with LSB |
|---|
| Napta | http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-customizing.en.html |
|---|
| Tohsh | kk thanks |
|---|
| Napta | savera: ?! |
|---|
| APz | napta, have you already set the mouse traps?! |
|---|
| Napta | cock, locked and ready to rock, APz |
|---|
|
|
| APz | napta: http://mostly-harmful.net/?page=19.2009 |
|---|
| APz | it's ~ -14C around here |
|---|
| APz | good time to defrost the freezer |
|---|
| APz | just put all the stuff in a box and haul it outside |
|---|
| Napta | APz: We utilize cloud computing. Mice can't fly |
|---|
| Napta | As far as I know |
|---|
| APz | yes, but it's the ninjas I'm worried about! |
|---|
| Napta | eh, I think our cloud altitude is around 20,000ft where ninjas cannot go! |
|---|
| Tohsh | rcx.d is very confusing to me. |
|---|
| Tohsh | is it bad for me to use rc.local? |
|---|
| Napta | Tohsh: It really depends what you're doing. Usually yes |
|---|
| Tohsh | im trying to start rtorrent on startup |
|---|
| Napta | hehe |
|---|
| APz | put it in your crontab |
|---|
| Tohsh | i wouldnt know what that means. |
|---|
| Napta | Is there a startup script for rtorrent ? |
|---|
| APz | usually no |
|---|
| Tohsh | all i could find was " su - user -c "/usr/bin/screen -dmS rtorrent /usr/local/bin/rtorrent" " |
|---|
| Napta | THEN WE WILL WRITE ONE! |
|---|
| APz | I guess most just screen it and leave it there |
|---|
| Napta | well, APz will write one |
|---|
| Napta | APz: werd |
|---|
| Tohsh | id rather not screen it |
|---|
| Tohsh | but couldnt find anything else |
|---|
| Napta | does it use XML-RPC? |
|---|
| Tohsh | yes |
|---|
| Napta | so you don't need to interact with the binary directly? |
|---|
| Tohsh | no |
|---|
| Napta | Sounds like a reasonable case to stick it in a startup script |
|---|
| Tohsh | indeed |
|---|
| APz | if it's supposed to be run as some user and not root, i'd put it in crontab |
|---|
| Napta | yeah, I wouldn't put the startup script in your username, Tohsh |
|---|
| Napta | your script will have to su(1)/sudo(1) |
|---|
| APz | I personally run rtorrent in a screen in my nat box |
|---|
| Tohsh | right now i have it su'ing.. |
|---|
| APz | and use it via ssh |
|---|
| Tohsh | im using wtorrent with it |
|---|
| Tohsh | so i dont need it screened |
|---|
| Tohsh | *rutorrent actually |
|---|
| Napta | You could supervise it! |
|---|
| Tohsh | lol |
|---|
| Napta | If you want to be really elite, you can stick it in inittab to spawn once |
|---|
| APz | it's curses-based, I think you can't just fire it up in the background |
|---|
| Napta | AIX style |
|---|
| Napta | its curses based?! |
|---|
| Napta | DIDNT I JUST ASK ABOUT XML-RPC AND INTERRACTION?! |
|---|
| Napta | is there a -D flag? |
|---|
| Napta | to daemonize |
|---|
| APz | not that I know of |
|---|
| Napta | Tohsh: Then you need to listen to APz |
|---|
| APz | every guide about it tells you to d-tach or screen the process |
|---|
| Napta | thats why it's screened in the examples |
|---|
| Napta | as it needs a pty |
|---|
| Tohsh | kk |
|---|
| Tohsh | im guessing i still dont want it in rc.local though |
|---|
| Tohsh | with su permission |
|---|
| Napta | nope |
|---|
| APz | no, start with from crontab's @reboot-job |
|---|
| Napta | ^ I like that |
|---|
| Tohsh | k gotta figre out how to do that |
|---|
| Napta | paste it, APz ! |
|---|
| Napta | what the heck did I just do. I went to www.gl apparently |
|---|
| Napta | and it exists |
|---|
| APz | @reboot /usr/bin/screen -dmS rtorrent rtorrent |
|---|
| APz | I think that might do it |
|---|
| Napta | beautiful |
|---|
| Tohsh | ive never used crontab before. |
|---|
| APz | the last one is the executable name; you might have to put full path there |
|---|
| Napta | Tohsh: Do you use the vi editor? |
|---|
| APz | mine's installed at /usr/local/bin/rtorrent, but I'm not using linux |
|---|
| Tohsh | yes |
|---|
| Napta | crontab -e |
|---|
| Napta | and paste apz' line |
|---|
| Tohsh | testing |
|---|
| APz | to be sure, use the executable's full path as the last parameter |
|---|
| APz | use "which rtorrent" to figure out where it is |
|---|
| Napta | I personally just modify /etc/crontab so I don't have to check every user's crontab spool for backups |
|---|
| APz | and then use something like: |
|---|
| APz | @reboot /usr/bin/screen -dmS rtorrent /usr/bin/rtorrent |
|---|
| APz | or where ever it was in debian |
|---|
| Tohsh | local bin |
|---|
| APz | why it's there? |
|---|
| Tohsh | > /usr/local/bin/rtorrent |
|---|
| Napta | Wibla: Backing up my NAS content to a cloud online storage service hah |
|---|
| APz | didn't you install it from the debian's packages? |
|---|
| Tohsh | no |
|---|
| Tohsh | compiled it |
|---|
| Napta | :( |
|---|
| Napta | why |
|---|
| APz | oh |
|---|
| Tohsh | why did i compile it? |
|---|
| Napta | ya |
|---|
| Tohsh | to gain more knowledge i guess |
|---|
| Napta | habbit? newer version? |
|---|
| Napta | fair enough |
|---|
| Tohsh | lol |
|---|
| Napta | just thought I'd ask |
|---|
| Tohsh | it was a newer version too |
|---|
| Tohsh | from their svn |
|---|
| APz | I installed my version from freebsd's ports |
|---|
| APz | added couple of patches aswell |
|---|
| APz | really liked the one that adds color to the UI |
|---|
| Napta | We have this generic best practice in the #debian/sysadmin world to use distro supported packages whereever possible, Tohsh |
|---|
| Napta | You inherit automatic security updates and bugfixes, etc |
|---|
| APz | ^ Yes, listen to him. he's old and wise |
|---|
| Napta | Where as compiling software you're on your own with keeping it up to date |
|---|
| Napta | well, wise |
|---|
| APz | (*disclaimer: napta might not be as old or as wise as indicated) |
|---|
| Napta | :D |
|---|
| Napta | haha |
|---|
| Tohsh | lol |
|---|
| Napta | 4 days to upload 30GB, bleh |
|---|
| Napta | bring on my 200Mbit |
|---|
| Tohsh | didnt seem to work |
|---|
| Tohsh | is there a log? |
|---|
| Napta | yeah |
|---|
| Napta | Im sure the last time I checked only BSD supported @reboot voodo |
|---|
| Napta | o |
|---|
| Napta | but im probably wrong |
|---|
| phyber | if you mean @reboot in crontab, debian can do it. |
|---|
| APz | vixie cron can do it |
|---|
| phyber | if something else, then you want crontab. crontab will solve it. |
|---|
| phyber | webserver? crontab. sshd? crontab. |
|---|
| APz | and debian uses that, last I checked |
|---|
| Napta | probably |
|---|
| Tohsh | wonder why it didnt work then |
|---|
| APz | condoms? crontab |
|---|
| Napta | This was a while ago |
|---|
| Tohsh | do i need quotes? |
|---|
| APz | anal rape - crontab. |
|---|
| Napta | Tohsh: is cron running? |
|---|
| Napta | pgrep -lf cron |
|---|
| Tohsh | 2136 /usr/sbin/cron |
|---|
| Napta | cool |
|---|
| Napta | pgrep -lf screen |
|---|
| Napta | ? |
|---|
| Tohsh | no |
|---|
| Napta | /var/log:) |
|---|
| APz | napta, see "man 5 crontab", it has a list of all the special 'dates' for cron |
|---|
| Napta | APz: yep, I just don't have a linux box to hand :) |
|---|
| Napta | cba to man 5 crontab in google |
|---|
| Tohsh | what log am i looking for in here |
|---|
| Napta | So I get to work at like, 8am/8:30 - my co workers turn up at hmm 10:30 ? |
|---|
| Napta | office is still empty according to the webcam |
|---|
| APz | http://www.phpman.info/index.php/man/crontab/5 |
|---|
| Napta | Tohsh: You want the syslog file |
|---|
| Napta | phpman? |
|---|
| Tohsh | http://pastebin.org/65091 |
|---|
| Napta | as if im gonna click that |
