[00:00]<dzzwyg>+well what kind of rpms should I use then?? never heard of rhel 2, I'm not quite familiar with that linux stuff I'm usually on solaris ;(
[00:00]<gvyfgggv>+rhel2 rpms
[00:00]<dzzwyg>+not installed
[00:00]<gvyfgggv>+which inst installed
[00:00]<gvyfgggv>+isnt
[00:00]<dzzwyg>+both arent
[00:01]<gvyfgggv>+talk to your hosting comapny
[00:01]<gvyfgggv>+if you are suppose to have Fedora core you dont and it appears it is a bastardized rhel
[00:02]<dzzwyg>+damn I should have choosen a solaris hosting company
[00:02]<dzzwyg>+sorry to say that in #fedora ;)
[00:03]<czgzzyl>+you should have chosen a provider which tells you exactly how things are...
[00:03]<czgzzyl>+regardless of whether they run fedora or solaris
[00:03]<gvyfgggv>+ok laters
[00:04]<rgmdcrl>+Darwin: what? so you could have gotten a broken solaris install instead? there are a number of solaris distros out there now you know. :>
[00:04]<dzzwyg>+well I can between, "fc2" "fc1", redhat, debian, and one other thingy, ..
[00:04]<czgzzyl>+you can what?
[00:04]<dzzwyg>+choose*
[00:04]<dzzwyg>+sorry
[00:04]<czgzzyl>+appearantly you can't, really
[00:04]<dzzwyg>+well one click and my box gets reinstalled
[00:05]<rgmdcrl>+bye bye data. :>
[00:05]<czgzzyl>+Darwin, maybe it'd get reinstalled with the same bastardized OS
[00:05]<dzzwyg>+no I could choose another one
[00:05]<czgzzyl>+the same type of*
[00:06]<dzzwyg>+redhat or debian or whatever
[00:06]<dzzwyg>+but only linux'es
[00:06]<dzzwyg>+but well, if it's not fc2, why that apache token: Apache/2.0.51 (Fedora)
[00:06]<czgzzyl>+Darwin, if this operating system you choose now is bastardized, do you really believe another operating system they provide you with is clean and neat?
[00:07]<czgzzyl>+there are many ways i could make a non-fedora os appear as a fedora os...
[00:07]<dzzwyg>+oh really? how?
[00:07]<czgzzyl>+installing fc2 rpms on rhel2 for one thing
[00:08]<czgzzyl>+but i'd be bastardizing the os, and i would personally never sell a bastardized os to a customer
[00:08]<mjmrq>+if I have accidentally told the OS to open .pdf files, every time, with the standard EVINCE application; and would now like to change that to my new adobe acrobat reader; is there an easy way of doing this?
[00:09]<czgzzyl>+can't really help you, i'm not used to the linux desktop
[00:09]<mjmrq>+i was in too big of a hurry
[00:09]<mjmrq>+thanks anyway kanarip
[00:09]<czgzzyl>+isn't there a 'open with' option in the right-click menu?
[00:09]<mjmrq>+after installing acrobat reader
[00:10]<mjmrq>+i don't think so
[00:10]<czgzzyl>+and can't you select some option like 'use this application by default'
[00:10]<mjmrq>+that would be too easy
[00:10]<czgzzyl>+have you tried?
[00:10]<mjmrq>+yes i have
[00:10]<czgzzyl>+very well, i'm out of options :)
[00:10]<dzzwyg>+hmm
[00:11]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+yoda2: kde/gnome?
[00:11]<mjmrq>+it just say open URL when right clicking; YES
[00:11]<mjmrq>+tobilcanobe
[00:11]<mjmrq>+gnome
[00:11]<mjmrq>+sorry
[00:11]<mjmrq>+one day i will try kde
[00:11]<mjmrq>+haven't yet though
[00:11]<dzzwyg>+ok there's a Red Hat EL 2.1 package and a EL 3 package which one should I try for 2.4.20-021stab028.18.777-enterprise ?
[00:12]<wwjjms>+/etc/redhat-release will answer the question
[00:12]<czgzzyl>+wwoods, that isn't true in every situation
[00:13]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+yoda2: I don't know about gnome.
[00:13]<dzzwyg>+well cat /etc/redhat-release sais: Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)
[00:13]<mjmrq>+is kde better?
[00:13]<vj2ywrrgj2n>+yoda2: just habit here
[00:13]<mjmrq>+k
[00:14]<czgzzyl>+well i'm off preparing for tomorrows tests
[00:14]<dzzwyg>+wwoods, well cat /etc/redhat-release sais: Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)
[00:14]<czgzzyl>+ok, i'm not off yet...
[00:15]<czgzzyl>+Darwin, whatever /etc/redhat-release says doesn't really matter if the rest of the operating system isn't compliant with that
[00:15]<wwjjms>+oh, dude is mixing RHEL and FC? oi.
[00:15]<czgzzyl>+the kernel you are running indicated that you are not running fc2, but instad rhel 2
[00:15]<dzzwyg>+omg, what kind of crap is going on there?
[00:15]<czgzzyl>+s/indicated/indicates/
[00:16]<wwjjms>+as an aside, there is no RHEL2, only RHEL2.1
[00:16]<dzzwyg>+well how does it look like ... uname -r on a real fc2 ?
[00:16]<czgzzyl>+Darwin, just tried to tell you, so did EvilGent, you need to talk to your provider about the kernel you are running, as well as what operating system you are running
[00:17]<dzzwyg>+can't I just exchange the kernel?
[00:17]<mjmrq>+i must go and google; brb
[00:17]<czgzzyl>+Darwin, will you be able to solve hardware support issues?
[00:17]<dzzwyg>+no
[00:18]<czgzzyl>+would you want to take the risk of installing another kernel but not being able to boot it?
[00:18]<dzzwyg>+yeah
[00:18]<czgzzyl>+or would you rather first speak with the provider?
[00:18]<dzzwyg>+wouldn't be a problem
[00:18]<dzzwyg>+I can just click on a button and the os gets reinstalled
[00:18]<dzzwyg>+;)
[00:19]<czgzzyl>+it's up to you....
[00:20]<dzzwyg>+hmm maybe I should install another OS
[00:20]<czgzzyl>+i don't think it matters that much at all
[00:20]<czgzzyl>+but then again, who am i to know
[00:21]<dzzwyg>+well I don't think they are that stupid, and would mix one os with another kernel
[00:21]<czgzzyl>+it happens very often...
[00:21]<xjgmrayv>+will macosx run on fedora?
[00:22]<dzzwyg>+you can't compare that
[00:22]<czgzzyl>+you're at least the second one tonight Darwin
[00:22]<xjgmrayv>+im just kidding ;)
[00:23]<czgzzyl>+hondaciv, nowadays, macosx is available on x86, and will therefore run on vmware (which you could install on fedora)
[00:23]<nuzncr>+hi
[00:23]<czgzzyl>+so i guess, yes
[00:23]<nuzncr>+how can I change the resolution?, when first installed, i used an old monitor, just got the new one with better res, but can't change it. tried using the menu --> no option, also tried the xorg.conf, no luck, any other way
[00:23]<dzzwyg>+well ok regarding my lib problem, would it be possible to get that working that so that I could at least install the rpm and see what happens?
[00:24]<dzzwyg>+s/that//2
[00:24]<czgzzyl>+Darwin, use rpmfind.net with the name of the library file it is looking for, to find packages that provide the library
[00:24]<dzzwyg>+the library is already installed
[00:24]<wwjjms>+eureka: try moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup and restarting X
