| vocis | Mattias, you could save this line for use when directories *do* have spaces (it's a different approach than xargs): find /my/dir -type d -exec chmod 750 '{}' \; and for files: find /my/dir -type f -exec chmod 640 '{}' \; I use those things in a script that adjusts permissions on loads of different files and directories at once |
| Mattias | thanks :D |
| dragonheart | vocis: you can use xargs if you use -print0 in find and xargs --null |
| vocis | dragonheart, sure, and another way is -print "\"%p\"\n" | xargs ... |
| dragonheart | bash is so much fun |
| vocis | heh, I use ZSH to be honest, but coretools do rule yes :) |
| amy_ | vocis, hrm, i put an audio cd of mine in, and checked in k3b, and it says the dvdrw is /dev/hdb |
| zugz | Mattias: but often the X permissions bit to chmod is all you need (set x bit if it already had x bit for some user), combined with -R (recursive) |
| vocis | amy_, could be... sometimes it's linked to both /dev/hdfoo and /dev/dvdrw |
| Mattias | vocis: about cedega dir, its games in there, is 640 appropriate for those? or do i need to change that to another permission? |
| vocis | Mattias, I wouldn't change them - the defaults are OK for me anyway |
| Mattias | vocis: basically, permissions got messed up there too, so i don't know what the defaults was :) |
| vocis | Mattias, if your home directory is 750 or 700, don't worry too much about what's inside that dir, or go with zugz suggestion: chmod -R o-rwx /home/mydir |
| sa007 | hi, since a wpa_supplicant update my wlan doesn't auto-dhcp, anyone any id? |
| Mattias | okay, ill see if the games complain once my system is fully installed :) |
| sa007 | conf.d/net says dhcp |
| vocis | sa007, no idea there, sorry cables r00l ;-p |
| gentoo | hi all |
| sa007 | vocis: right, but not with a laptop ;) |

| sa007 | glad there are no cables attached to my laptop and i'd like to keep it so |
| gentoo | i m doing networkless gentoo installation. Can i be it will not compile anything if i check xorg and firefox GRP at install s/Can i be it will/Can i be sure it will/ |
| sa007 | gentoo: if you have a stage3... stage1/2 = compile, stage3 = precompiled |

| sa007 | vocis: :) |

| sa007 | maybe someone knows a solution to my second problem, my x fonts are very small (~33% smaller) than normal websites look funny :( |
| Dingolan | df doesn't work, any other way to check for disk usage |
