Isn't it possible to just cpio more data in? Then your kernel parameter just points to an archive.
 
Gilles
Gilles
cpio into what?
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
I didn't see a link to the question and only read the comments here so I was thinking it must be initramfs - especially since you're talking kernel parameters.

@mikeserv no, it's about kernel modules parameters ;)

Q: String length limit for a kernel module parameter

goose999I am passing a string as parameter when loading a kernel module. When the string is > 1024 chars, modprobe results in an error: FATAL: Error inserting mymodule (/lib/modules..): No space left on device dmesg output: mystr: string parameter too long Are module parameters limited to 1024 char...

Oh, well, yeah, that's beyond me. Though I can only imagine tha t if you're loading one file as a module it seems you could load a second along with it.

GNOME Font Viewer - 3.5.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Rewrite the user interface using a GNOME 3 style
• Implement a gallery mode for all the fonts on the system
• Add an application menu and an about dialog
• Make "Install" button insensitive if the font is already installed
• Port the thumbnailer to cairo drawing
• Translation updates
yeah, older version

Q: Gallery of installed fonts

GillesI want to view the fonts that are installed on my system. Specifically, I want the client-side (fontconfig) fonts, not the old-style X11 bitmap fonts. I guess what I'm looking for would be called a font viewer or font gallery. I want to see a bit of sample text for each font, ideally configurable...

I'd love to know of an xfontsel equivalent for xft fonts
 
Gilles
Gilles
@casey fc-list, kinda
most of the attributes that xfontsel lets you select on are irrelevant for vector fonts
 
casey
casey
@Gilles thats good for listing fonts, but it would be nice to have what selections are available (even if just name/size/slant) and a preview available the way xfontsel does it. Mostly the previews.
@Gilles looks like more work than an american check for sure. I always write my dates dd/mm/yyyy and I've had landlords come back to me trying to figure out why I'm dating my checks so far in the future...
 
terdon
terdon
1:21 AM
@casey have a look at gfontview.sourceforge.net looks like exactly what's described
@Gilles So I should probably not point out that you wrote cix instead of dix?
 
Gilles
Gilles
1:37 AM
@terdon I wrote dix, but the d in that font has an extremely thin line
 
terdon
terdon
@Gilles fair enough. Can't see it at all. But that's a great answer, I'd upvote if I had an account. The French penchant for cheques was very surprising to me when I first moved here. I actually had a little app on my phone to help me spell the damn numbers :)

If I just want to know if I made a typo on my command line, is that really worth making a question out of it?
I don't know where to go for that around these parts. Quick advice that I'd be better off asking a friend, but don't have any friends that know Unix...
 
strugee
strugee
@DrKumar for a typo I'd just ask here. if it actually turns out to be a typo, you'd get put on hold.
that being said, if it isn't just a typo and could actually have use, please ask a question on Unix & Linux after getting an answer here
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
Ok: If I'm using rsync to transfer multiple files locally, from drive to drive, don't you just plug in rsync [options] /source/ /dest/ \; (<-- for a newline) and repeat for your second file?
Forgive me, I'm new to learning this stuff, and the manuals aren't that easy to digest if you don't know crap about unix systems or CLIs
 
strugee
strugee
@DrKumar I'm sorry, what's for a newline?
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
the \;
 
strugee
strugee
so you want a newline without executing the command?
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
2:16 AM
correct
 
strugee
strugee
so what you've just done is you've just escaped the ; which means that rsync will see it as an argument. you don't want that.
instead, you want ;\<RET>
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
Should I specify that I'm doing this within bash?
 
strugee
strugee
<RET> = standard representation of the return key in documentation
@DrKumar doesn't matter. this is simplistic enough that it won't vary in any meaningful manner across shells
so what this does: ; says that you've finished giving the arguments to the first rsync, and whatever comes after should be treated as a command to be run, regardless of exit status
\ escapes the return. this means that bash will treat it as part of the commandline instead of a signal to execute the commandline.
oh awesome. found a bug in the chat Markdown parser.
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
and the semicolon ; is known as a control operator?
 
strugee
strugee
if you want the second rsync to run only if the first one returned an exit status of 0, use && instead of ;
@DrKumar I dunno. that sounds right.
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
2:21 AM
so I need ;\<RET> and not just a ;
 
strugee
strugee
yes
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
Ok, thanks!
 
strugee

@terdon go to hell

@strugee I was wondering what the hell that was about! :) No worries, I hate that bleedin font

haha yeah I was just thinking: "I hope that doesn't get starred and taken out of context"

DrKumar
2:33 AM
Interesting. the ;\<RET> didn't work, but a simple ; did

I once found a thing listing ways to die, you know like car accidents and drowning and other stuff

there's also "More..."
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
3:11 AM
Do you think rsync is better suited for copying directories, rather than individual files? And/or remote machine work
 
Braiam
Braiam
depends in how much effort I need to put into the project
 
strugee
strugee
@DrKumar depends on your usecase
if your file isn't gigabytes, then no
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
definitely is GB, lots of GB
video files
 
strugee
strugee
in that case I would use rsync
is it on the local disk?
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
moving between two local drives, yes
 
Braiam
Braiam
3:15 AM
mm... rsync would only add overhead, simple cp is the best
 
strugee
strugee
you might be able to get away with using cp. that has the advantage of not waiting for rsync to build the file list
 
Braiam
Braiam
and trying to compress stuff
 
strugee
strugee
of course, if you think some data didn't get copied (e.g. cp got interrupted) the rsync becomes more useful
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
but rsync has a progress flag/indicator
 
strugee
strugee
I'm pretty sure cp has that too
 
Braiam
Braiam
3:16 AM
I remember somewhere that there was a flag for cp too
 
strugee
strugee
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
also rsync preserves directory structure, recreates the hierarchy on the receiving end.
with -R
 
Braiam
Braiam
cp do...
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
with cp -R?
 
strugee
strugee
@DrKumar I think it's cp -r
 
Braiam
Braiam
3:24 AM
--recursive        -r  -R  -- copy directories recursively
 
strugee
strugee
so either, then

Q: BASH: Copy named files recursively, preserving folder structure

mahemoffI was hoping: cp -R src/prog.js images/icon.jpg /tmp/package would yield a symmetrical structure in the destination dir: /tmp | +-- package | +-- src | | | +-- prog.js | +-- images | +-- icon.jpg but instead, both of the files are copied into /tmp...

bash shell
does not work on OS X
hence, rsync
 
strugee
strugee
@DrKumar OP didn't understand how to use cp?
 
DrKumar
DrKumar
?
 
strugee
strugee
he was using it wrong. that's why he had that problem
 
Braiam
Braiam
3:32 AM
he needed --parent instead of -R
what he did was: copy path1/file1 path2/file2 into path3/
very literal
 
strugee

indeed

Trying to help a user configure a server by sharing the internet connection from his laptop via ethernet cable to the server, and then making the server visible to the LAN
The default setup had the server on a different network so only the laptop could see it
We now have the server and laptop on the same network but it no longer has internet access.

@terdon - did you guys go through this guide?
I don't quite understand what he's trying to share there?
 
terdon
terdon
@slm no, that looks good, I was looking at another one
@slm he has a laptop with a wifi connection and wants to share the connection with the server
So, cable from laptop to server, server gets internet access and also acts as a server accessible to the local LAN
 
slm
slm
I would expect that if you're sharing you need to open up the firewall if it isn't already also there are some kernel options that you have to enable to 1 to get the packets flowing

slm
slm
that's typically just setting up a route as gw
 
terdon
terdon
4:13 AM
Well, the simple internet connection sharing was painless enough but it set up the server on a different network
So, LAN was 192,168.1.NN and server was on 10.1. something or other
10.42.0.1
So, he had the wlan card which was giving him access to the LAN/WAN on the laptop with IP: 192.168.1.4
 
slm
slm
walk me through a scenario. If I'm sitting on the laptop where am I connecting?
 
terdon
terdon
@slm It might be simpler if you look at the ifconfig output he posted
Have you seen it? I'm assuming it is completely transparent to you, if not I'm happy to walk you through what I understand
 
slm
slm
yeah i wanted to understand conceptually before looking at anything
 
terdon
terdon
So, laptop has two NICs, wlan0 and eth0
 
slm
slm
k
 
terdon
terdon
4:17 AM
wlan0 is the one he uses for internet and LAN etc 
wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 60:36:dd:05:21:de
          inet addr:192.168.1.4  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
 
slm
slm
k
 
terdon
terdon
He then shared this connection using the ethernet card. Laptop eth0: 
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 88:51:fb:fc:53:83
          inet addr:10.42.0.1  Bcast:10.42.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
He connects the desktop to the laptop's ethernet port (I guess, not sure how, now that I think about it) and results in this ifconfic output on the desktop: 
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:16:76:90:b6:87
          inet addr:10.42.0.50  Bcast:10.42.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
 
slm
slm
let's hold off saying shared yet, he added an IP for the eth0 dev
 
terdon
terdon
OK
At this point, laptop can see desktop and vice versa and I think the desktop has internet access as well
 
slm
slm
you can't connect 2 NICs you need a special ethernet cable
 
terdon
terdon
4:19 AM
However, obviously, the rest of the LAN can't see the desktop
@slm yeah, that's what I was just realizing but presumably he has one

> I'm currently sharing the wireless connection of my ubuntu laptop with an ubuntu server via an ethernet cable. Does the server have the same ipv4 as my laptop?

Is it possible to give it an ipv4 of it's own?

EDIT: I'm hosting an apache server on the Ubuntu Desktop server and I am able to pull it u on my laptop through 10.42.0.24.
So he could access the server, I am assuming he had a crossed cable

Medium Dependent Interface
A Medium Dependent Interface (MDI) describes the interface (both physical and electrical) in a computer network from a physical layer implementation to the physical medium used to carry the transmission. Ethernet over twisted pair also defines a medium dependent interface crossover (MDIX) interface. Auto-MDIX ports on newer network interfaces detect if the connection would require a crossover, and automatically chooses the MDI or MDIX configuration to properly match the other end of the link. Ethernet The popular Ethernet family defines common medium dependent interfaces. For 10BASE5 co...
auto mdix
it's true
> Subsequently, Dove promoted auto-MDIX within the 1000BASE-T standard[5] and also developed patented algorithms for "forced mode auto-MDIX" which allow a link to be automatically established even if the port does not auto-negotiate.[6] This may or may not be implemented on a given device, so occasionally a crossover cable may still be necessary when connecting auto-MDIX to MDIX (hub or switch), especially when autonegotiation is deactivated.[7]
> Newer routers, hubs and switches (including some 10/100, and all 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit devices in practice) use auto-MDIX to automatically switch to the proper configuration once a cable is connected.

huh, OK
 
Braiam

I think is called autonegociation by the kernel module....

OK so the guys issue is that he can't access the IP of eth0 from wlan0 but can sit on laptop and access eth0 fine?
 
terdon
terdon
not sure what you mean
 
Braiam
Braiam
4:28 AM
he needs to route traffic through the firewall and use the lappy as another router
 
terdon
terdon
the issue is that he can access the server from the laptop fine but other devices on the LAN can't
 
Braiam
Braiam
because he doesn't forward it <----
 
slm
slm
can't access some computer -> wifi -> laptop -> eth0 -> desktop

Which is presumably cause of the different networks set up (192.XX and 10.XX)
@slm yeah but <--
 
Braiam
Braiam

toggle the ip4.forward bit and voila!
 
terdon

4:30 AM
So I told him to set up the server on the 192.168.1.XX network and that kinda broke everything
@Braiam no idea what this is (I know next to nothing about networking, that's why I called in you guys for help)

@Braiam damn! Really?

4:38 AM
his laptop needs to be a gateway of sorts between the lan and the server, so it needs to forward packages around
@terdon yup...
 
terdon
terdon
@Braiam Can't the desktop use the router as a gateway?
Ah no, it needs to go through the laptop
Hmmm, could it be enough to set the desktop's gateway to be the laptop?
That seems to be the way he had it set up originally with the different IPs
 
Braiam
Braiam
@terdon yeah
the laptop needs to behave like a router/gateway/nat between his server and the rest of the lan
 
terdon
terdon
but is it enough to just point the desktop to the laptop or do things need to be changed on the laptop as well
?
 
Braiam
Braiam
I would put a reverse proxy instead in the laptop if he wants things to be easier, just that the server won't have access to the internet
@terdon I don't follow, is that different from what I'm saying?
 
terdon
terdon
@Braiam I'm asking if it will be enough to just set the server's gateway to the laptop's IP or if there are settings/iptables whatever that need to be changed/set up on the laptop
 
Braiam

4:43 AM
@terdon the laptop networking needs to be adjusted, the server is just fine thinking the laptop is a router, in fact, you shouldn't need to touch the server
 
terdon
terdon
@Braiam That's what he had done in the beginning but that had the server and the laptop on different subnets

@Braiam oh I have no bloody idea how to use either :P

@terdon pointers to ask about sound problems: pactl listessential if you suspect is just something silly, default.pa file contents if you think he played with pulse around ;)

@Braiam sound?
Anyway, I'm off, I'm falling asleep. Later all

we all check the front page, we will see them eventually
 
Webby
Webby
sure sure
Sorry about that..
 
strugee
strugee
@Webby it's ok. sorry I may have overreacted, we just get a lot of those and it gets tiring after a while
 
Webby
Webby
Sure
 
terdon
terdon
@strugee I told him to come bug you guys cause I'm going to sleep

strugee
strugee
@terdon ah. sorry @Webby, my bad
 
Webby
Webby
no problem
 
strugee
strugee
I dunno who our resident PulseAudio expert is. I don't believe we have one
@slm or @derobert might be able to help but other than that I have no idea
 
terdon
terdon
OK, last post, why are you all blathering about sound? Webby's issue is a host not found error when using rsync. OK, good night!
 
strugee
strugee
@terdon because I am stupid
(watch that get starred)

I mixed his question up with something Braiam mentioned
such starred. very meta. wow.

You're welcome. What's wrong with pa? By the way - I don't believe there is such a thing as a pulse expert.

@mikeserv I repeat:

Well, I've heard of a pulse audio expert before, but I'm pretty sure it was a myth.
 
Webby
Webby
I am pretty much sure there is a problem with the syntax
something is off
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
That one's better.
 
Webby
Webby
Bcoz I ran it like this
 
mikeserv

5:45 AM
The NONONO

rsync -avz david@machineB":/data/pe_t1_snapshot/20140317/t1_weekly_1680_0_200003_5.data" /export/home/david/dist/primary
and it worked fine
 
strugee
strugee
@mikeserv ?
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
Oh you're ABC guy.
@Webby NO NO NO NO NO
That one. But...
 
Webby
Webby
Is anything wrong I did again?
 
strugee

@Webby no
 
mikeserv

No, really. I have no idea, and I'm the last guy to take advice from in that department anyway.,

What is going on with rsync though? I confess I saw your question several times - in passing.
You want to rsync files on A + B > C?
 
Webby
Webby
I am trying to copy files from machinB and machineC to machineA
and terdon gave me the solution to use with rsync
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
5:49 AM
Oh, well, that's hardly intuitive.
 
Webby
Webby
but somehow whenever I am running that it is giving me exception
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
Exception?
 
Webby
Webby
and I am pretty much sure its bcoz of syntax issue
somewhere
I have in the question
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
But strugee told you no linking...
I'll find it.
 
derobert
derobert
@strugee link to the question? I don't see Webby or Pulseaudio on the new questions page...
 
strugee
strugee
5:50 AM
@mikeserv I spoke too soon. it was actually OK, since terdon asked him to paste it in the room
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
Ahh. That makes two of us then.
 
strugee
strugee
@derobert I mixed up the questions
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
I did find it though. I don't know if I can help.
 
strugee
strugee
and it's obviously OK to paste questions if someone in the room asks for a link
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
This is a lot: dir1=$(ssh -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" david@${FILERS_LOCATION[0]} ls -dt1 "$MEMORY_MAPPED_LOCATION"/[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] | head -n1)
 
strugee

5:52 AM
the thing that's annoying is the weenies who come into the room and paste their question with little to no context, all because they haven't received an answer within 20 minutes. god forbid.
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
@Webby So A has a B Partition and C partition - they don't mix?
Weenies says it all.
What is with this array?
 
derobert
derobert
@strugee ah, ok, so there is no PulseAudio question? Ok. I'm going back to trying to figure out this printer....
 
strugee
strugee
@derobert nope, the PA question's on AU IIRC
good luck with your printer
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
You shouldn't be using rsync if you're not using it to track files and file changes - that's it's primary function. If you just need a pipe use netcat.
@Webby I'm still reading through, but does that change?
I mean, you can use rsync however you like, but... I wouldn't know how to help you map it to shell arrays...
 
Webby
Webby
That is the solution given by terdon and he thing it is much efficient and faster as compare scp which I was doing earlier
 
mikeserv
mikeserv
5:59 AM
Well, that I'll agree with.
So it's some kind of connection problem?
Do A B C have ip addresses?
