<0> hehe
<1> any chance of seeing it in a repo for testing unstable ? =)
<2> testing is frozen, and it's in the upload for unstable
<2> s/and/but/
<3> how do I fix this " openoffice.org: Depends: openoffice.org-debian-files (> 1.1.2+1.1.3)..."?
<2> what depends on that?
<2> because openoffice.org-debian-files only exist in stable, and stable has 1.1.3-8+1
<3> do you mean this ?"Depends: openoffice.org-bin (> 1.1.2+1.1.3) but it is not installable"?
<2> I sense a bad sources file
<0> didn't the old linux kernel uptime counter wrap after 427 days or so ?
<0> kernel 2.2
<3> http://pastebin.ca/334828 <-- sources.list
<0> god, it's going to take me days to finish this script
<0> write a comment in my code.. watch an hour of tv.. another comment.. another hour of tv
<0> not sure if I've actually started coding yet
<3> Napta:what do you write comments to if you don't have any code?
<3> KristianL:can you please have a look at my sources.list and tell me what's wrong with it?
<0> the rcs tag, the header,
<0> etc
<0> so far I have.. /bin/ksh.. #$Id#... bout it really
<2> yfk: well, for starters, you're using sarge and a couple of third-party repos
<2> third party repositories and debian stable just don't make sense. By mixing a rock stable distro with third party repos to get newer software, you void the benefit of running debian stable. So you might as well use etch
<2> which you should anyway since amd64 isn't officially supported on sarge, and etch is close to release and significantly better on the desktop
<3> can I switch to etch w\o reinstalling?
<2> yes, but I don't know how those third party repositories will affect a switch
<2> I avoid them like the pest myself because they usually end up causing problems one way or another ...
<3> hmmmm
<2> If I were you, I'd just make sure my important home-data was stored somewhere safe (diffrent partition/disk/server) and reinstall with etch. But before you do that, you can try simply changing sarge to etch in your sources, then run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade... you may want to comment out the third party repos and you definitly want to remove the amd64-references
<3> apt-get dist-upgrade switches from sarge to etch?
<2> it upgrades regards of certain issues
<2> liek removing one program to replace it with another
<3> didn't do anything
<2> if you did what I told you, then it would do something.
<3> do you mean change it to something like this "deb http://debian.inode.at/debian-amd64/debian/ etch main contrib non-free"?
<2> except inode.at/debian-amd64 isn't an official debian repository.
<3> how about deb http://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64/ etch main contrib non-free ? :)
<2> still not an official mirror
<2> you don't want that amd64 part in there at all
<2> and you want debian.org
<2> but I'm off to bed
<3> :) thanks
<4> http://www.debian.org
<5> I think everyone here is aware of that url :P
<4> heh was testing my linklogger
<6> someone test their nick retriever
<7> i remember seeing a file that apt or dpkg wrote to with timestamps of when each package was installed. which file is that?
<8> litage_ - the file you want is probably in either the /etc/apt or /var/cache/apt trees
<9> I need to fsck /. How do I avoid a boot and just go to root prompt?
<10> go into single user mode, p*** init=/bin/sh or enter single user mode via p***ing particular commands to the kernel before it boots (via the bootloader)
<9> ok, how do I enter single user mode?
<10> or use a live cd
<10> i've given you the clue, now google ;)
<9> yeah, I'd rather just jump into single user mode.
<9> darn it. :P
<9> hrmm. I've found "init 1" for dropping from console into single user mode, but how do I get to console after grub?
<9> great. now, I'm at a grub prompt. not very useful.
<10> you need to p*** the option to the actual kernel
<10> when you get a kernel listing from grub, you press 'e' to edit a kernel listing
<9> ok, so I can do it with lilo, but not the "more flexible" grub?
<9> oh, so I should change my recovery kernel?
<10> change whatever, it doesn't save
<10> when you have the correct entry, press 'b' to boot the kernel with the modified params
<9> ok, I'll try popping in that one line.
<9> strange. my recovery mode ends with the word "single" which would suggest it is indeed the single user mode.
<9> well, no I have booted from a recovery disk, and very strangely, I can not ***emble the RAID1 array which is /
<9> I have done this exercise before, and I am repeating verbatim from my notes. This time, though, the /dev/md0 -- which I have indeed mknod'd -- is said not to exist when I use mdadm!
<9> it exists, I tell you!!
<5> anyone run into the PNG "unrecognized format" problem?
<5> I am seeing lots of stuff in the forums about this after a google search, but none of the solutions mentioned are working for me...
<5> this broke following an apt-get upgrade in etch, am ***uming there is a known issue with the libpng library or some supporting library maybe
<5> no png support makes for a bad trip
<10> libpng3 is what you probably want
<5> I figured out what happened, I installed the WRE for webgui which had a different version of libpng in the path before the system libs
<5> however I have fixed the path and am trying to remember how to relink those libraries, I thought there was an ldconfig switch for this but am drawing a total blank
<5> tried dpkg-reconfigure on the libpng12-0 and libpng-dev but that didn't work...
<5> didn't really think that it would, but am grasping at straws at this point
<5> libpng12-config shows it properly linked and from the proper path....
<9> how can I set a particular drive in a RAID array as the "fresh" drive?
<9> The drive with the most recent data is the one that keeps being kicked out.
<5> ****it I surrender
<5> this problem is beyond my pathetic abilities
<11> o_O
<11> sparcy
<12> how can I eliminate the console screensaver in debian from ever kicking in?
<5> setterm -powersave off
<5> see section 8.6.5 at: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html
<11> whoa, quick reference paste
<11> nice work
<5> :P
<12> thanks
<5> np
<12> # setterm -powersave off <-- thats in the shell though
<12> is there any init script where it can be permanently fixed
<5> you could put that in /etc/profile
<12> debian:/etc/init.d# setterm -powersave off
<12> cannot (un)set powersave mode
<5> its because X is already running
<5> if you shut X down first it will work
<12> I dont have X running
<12> this is console only
<5> or if you put it in /etc/profile or create a script for it using the skeleton in /etc/init.d and install it into the proper runlevels with update-rc.d it should work
<12> Im doing it from a ssh shell lemme try the directo console
<12> yeah it worked from there
<11> isn't setterm a per user basis?
<11> so setting it as root isn't beneficial unless you are chilling out at root
<11> s/at/as/
<12> I am chilling out as root
<12> and i added it to /etc/profile lets see how it acts next reboot
<5> if you put it in /etc/profile it should apply to everyone
<12> good
<11> yup
<11> chilling as root isn't necessarily a good idea
<11> but you know that
<5> what's life without risk? ;)
<13> Question for you guys
<13> I know this a linux based question but.
<13> I need to know the differences between windows media player 10 and 9.
<5> well 10 requires XP and newer I think
<13> At work we use Windows 2000 and Linux at the moment. As far as I know windows media player 10 doesn't runon winxp.
<14> how is that a linux based question?
<5> whereas 9 works on 2k
<13> It's not.
<14> you said it was
<5> heh
<13> I forgot to put in that it wasn't.
<13> :(/
<14> ohh
<13> It's 8am for crying out loud. :P
<14> well
<14> Mr.phobia answered for ya
<5> I dunno what features 10 might give you over 9, more DRM probably ;)
<14> No its not its 2:20am
<13> Alrighty.
<13> ?:P
<5> I'd imagine that M$ has a propaganda page about it somewhere with a "what's new" section maybe
<13> hmm good thinking
<13> Seems like they are relativly alike. Some *** whining about that he needed Window media player10. I said, uhm use wmp9 or just download vlc.
<5> damn users
<13> mhm
<5> users used to bitch to us that they NEEDED winxp over 2k to do their jobs
<5> but couldn't name a single actual reason why
<13> They know absolutly nothing about nothing.
<13> I know! They do the same here.
<5> you want to really hear whining? replace M$ Office with OpenOffice :)
<13> Although some actually need XP, Adobe CS2 premiere doesn't run on 2k
<5> holy **** you'd think we were murdering their CHILDREN the way they went off
<13> phobia: we almost only run openoffice here ;)
<5> ahh so you've been through it
<13> phobia: the way they are going off I'm actually concidering that rightnow.
