| morrolan | prem, that's OK, your system has lost it's hostname |
| prem | so wht should i do? |
| StoneNote | morrolan, I hear a group headed by the Dred Pirate Peer is stealing hostname's. |
| morrolan | prem - I'm working on it StoneNote - well fair enough, but that isn't going to reset it on his computer unless he has been compromised is it? |
| aCeNoSweet | i have 1 leg, |
| mwe | I'd use the same windows license for a new machine. I doubt MS could do anything about it even if their EULA says otherwise if you only use it on one machine |
| arrenlex | mwe: You have to activate them. |
| soundray | mwe: the problem is, it's not easy to get a new machine without a new Windows license |
| mwe | arrenlex: yes |
| grndslm | i have a VERY serious problem...pretty sure my swap space got too full, so I had to restart without properly shutting down....and now on bootup, it complains about being unable to resolve UUID=fba54......, and when i go to the /dev folder...I can see every partition except for hdc4, which is my home dir |
| a5benwillis | I changed my clock setting on my server, now when I run SUDO i get an error "sudo: timestamp to far in the future". WHAT CAN I DO?? |
| gOLdenHaWK3D | prem: just type sudo hostname <hostname> in terminal |
| arrenlex | mwe: So if you keep using the same license, they'll reject activation at some point. |
| morrolan | prem - ok, please type: cat /etc/hosts and tell me what it says. Just the top few lines |
| gOLdenHaWK3D | prem: set hostname to whatever you wish |
| hdxx | a5benwillis: you change your local time? |
| Pici | a5benwillis: sudo -k |
| morrolan | prem - or do what gOLdenHaW3D said! |
| grndslm | how do i mount something that doesn't exist in /dev? or did i really delete my whole home dir? |
| mwe | arrenlex: at some point maybe. I once illegally installed with the same key on 5 machines, though. I wouldn't do it again and it was a temporary solution. |
| a5benwillis | hdxx: Yes Pici: That didnt do anyhting |
| Nalleman | Hi, im having problem with my firefox plugin for mplayer. When im trying to watch streaming video the plugin just goes "stopped". help please |
| morrolan | prem - beware of spaces and other strange characters |
| hdxx | a5benwillis: in that case i just restart x |
| mwe | arrenlex: I mean if I buy a new PC after two years I'm pretty sure I could activate again |
| prem | am gettin bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' |
| a5benwillis | oh ok |
| hsm | hi |
| Pici | a5benwillis: sudo -k invalidates the timestamp, next time you run sudo it should work |
| soundray | a5benwillis: try 'sudo -K' then |
| gOLdenHaWK3D | prem: what hostname are you setting? |
| wolfeySI | Nalleman: perhaps you need win32 codecs ? |
| fiXXXerMet | Any chance of getting a dovecot-sieve package? |
| StoneNote | morrolan, I've played with hostname a bit. he could accidently reset it using a command, but to permanently reset it, he'd have to alter the /etc/hostname file OR have made the change using network-admin after entering his root password |
| mwe | arrenlex: maybe that will change, though. don't know |
| prem | prem12 |
| morrolan | grndslm - have you tried installing gparted to look for the partition? |
| a5benwillis | Pici: That worked but I still get the error |
