[00:15]<asjpv>+:D
[00:25]<jfyguw>+can i rpm -e all packages I installed today?
[00:28]<dgsjdgdrcdvd>+olinux: no, but you could search your ~/.bash_history for RPM install commands and get package names that way
[00:29]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+olinux: better to look at /var/log/messages
[00:29]<dgsjdgdrcdvd>+RPM logs installs like that??
[00:30]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+InsomniaCity: sorry, I was thinking yum
[00:30]<fnffj_vrfr>+are there Hg (versioning system) packages for Fedora?
[00:31]<cnv00n>+what is the correct way to set the full system hostname, so it registers with a dhcp server?
[00:32]<dgsjdgdrcdvd>+peppo_tala: can't say I've heard of it. Take a look at google.
[00:32]<fnffj_vrfr>+ALSA uses it
[00:32]<fnffj_vrfr>+aka mercurial, I realize now
[00:32]<fnffj_vrfr>+that's the package name
[00:39]<cnv00n>+can anyone help me set the hostname of my box so it correctly registers with a DHCP server
[00:39]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+kev009: are you looking for dhclient -I `hostname`? I don't understand the man page though.
[00:39]<fnffj_vrfr>+how do I select a specific target for a package (kernel-devel.i686) that has many candidates?
[00:40]<cnv00n>+tobi1canobe: yes, but I want to use the Fedora networking scripts if possible to stay standard
[00:40]<cnv00n>+tobi1canobe: usually this is in /etc/dhclient.conf or the distro supplied networking script
[00:41]<cnv00n>+but I can't find it on Core 5
[00:41]<fnffj_vrfr>+the package I want is in an alternative repository
[00:42]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+kev009: From the man page, it looks too me like /etc/dhclient.conf is the place.
[00:42]<jfyguw>+k thanks tobi1canobe
[00:42]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+kev009: You may want to check /usr/share/doc/initscripts-xxx/sysconfig.txt
[00:42]<jfyguw>+actually i meant yum, but now I know /var/log/yum.log
[00:42]<fnffj_vrfr>+I tried "yum install --enablerepo=planetcore kernel-devel.i686" but still got the FC5 package
[00:42]<fnffj_vrfr>+I want the CCRMA package
[00:44]<svyff2j2>+peppo_tala: have you tried yumex?
[00:44]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+peppo_tala: Try to --disable core --disable updates
[00:44]<sxypvo>+peppo_tala; just comment out the normal repo in the config file
[00:45]<fnffj_vrfr>+does package:version work too?
[00:45]<fnffj_vrfr>+nope.
[00:45]<fnffj_vrfr>+I'd rather not futz like that
[00:45]<sxypvo>+peppo_tala: don't really know - i use ccrma's apt-get repo, not yum, but same basics apply
[00:45]<rggyax>+guys, is there a way to update fedora using yum?... like yum upgrade-dist or something?... I read the man already
[00:45]<fnffj_vrfr>+StillBob, I'll try that
[00:46]<svyff2j2>+Renich: see the Wiki, search for upgrade
[00:46]<sxypvo>+Renich: yes, you need to find an configure a repository first
[00:46]<gdrg79>+http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq
[00:47]<bb|avwjzc>+Any one here know if open office can open microsoft office 2003 documents? (i understand some parts of the document could come out wrong but i'm just wondering in general)
[00:47]<fnffj_vrfr>+StillBob, yumex only shows the default repos
[00:47]<svyff2j2>+peppo_tala: then check to make sure you have ccrma properly configured
[00:47]<fnffj_vrfr>+it only shows the core version
[00:47]<fnffj_vrfr>+the package has the same nameon ccrma
[00:47]<fnffj_vrfr>+it shows with yum search
[00:48]<fnffj_vrfr>+yumex's broken
[00:48]<fnffj_vrfr>+the ccrma repos are enabled for yumex
[00:48]<svyff2j2>+peppo_tala: yeah user error always means the package is broken
[00:48]<fnffj_vrfr>+StillBob, broken in a way that it doesn't allow selection of alternative versions
[00:48]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+peppo_tala: yum install kernel-devel-2.15... doesn't work?
[00:49]<fnffj_vrfr>+tobi1canobe, it selects the core kernel, I want the -devel package for the CCRMA preempt kernel I'm using
[00:50]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+peppo_tala: I hear you. They are in that other repo of yours. With the version tacked on to the install, yum should be able to differnetialte between stuff in core in stuff there.
[00:50]<fnffj_vrfr>+yum --disable core --disable updates install kernel-devel.i686
[00:50]<fnffj_vrfr>+ worked
[00:50]<fnffj_vrfr>+thanks tobi1canobe
[00:50]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+peppo_tala: yw. Adding the version at the end should work too
[00:51]<fnffj_vrfr>+problem is yum doesn't show the full name in a search
[00:51]<_wfa_w>+can i ask a stupid question - if i do weird firmware things to my wireless card in linux, will it change things on it, so it wont work on windows?
[00:51]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+peppo_tala: hehe no, they have the exact same name.
[00:51]<cnv00n>+the correct way to set a DHCP hostname is to add an entry to /etc/sysconfig/network: DHCP_HOSTNAME={hostname}
[00:51]<fnffj_vrfr>+tobi1canobe, the extraversion name, I mean
[00:51]<fnffj_vrfr>+"0:2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma"
[00:52]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+kev009: nice, where did you find that info?
[00:53]<zgmzn__>+Hi. I'm using FC5 and have alsa+dmix set up, but firefox cannot mix sounds and it really bothers me, specially when watching Flash movies. Is there a way to fix it?
[00:53]<cnv00n>+tobi1canobe: I read through the networking scripts, I don't think it is documented :-/
[00:54]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+kev009: it should, file a bug with patch!
[00:54]<cnv00n>+tobi1canobe: I was thinking more along the lines of wiki :-)
[00:57]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+kev009: Do both :-P
[01:09]<azjvaxyn>+hello world any help for java & flash player plugin for amd64 please
[01:14]<sn2->+is clamav and amavis-new the way to go for mail server? and must i worry about them for a linux only shop?
