<0> thats what i gathered from the screenshots
<1> at which point it runs the standard etch installer, which still fails to find my HDD controller *sigh*
<1> could be handy for installing on a diskless workstation, say in a windows-based lab in a school or something ;)
<1> ....***uming the hardware is actually SUPPORTED by Debian, that is
<0> or on a **** computer that couldnt boot off cd
<0> old bios
<1> yah
<1> reminds me of loadlin.exe for dos
<2> should i install linux-kernel-headers 2.6.18.6 ? instead of just the linux-headers-2.6.17-2-686 ?
<0> why? youre running 2.6.17-2-686
<2> well it has kernel in its name =) and is one newer version =)
<2> but yeahj... i see ur point
<0> yes but it doesnt match the kernel youre currently running
<2> of we go to try the bloody install again =)
<3> anyone around
<4> never
<4> I might be here, but I'm not around
<4> around imply's I have nothing better to do than answer your question
<3> ok
<3> i was sleeping and been thinking about security for my 2 boxes at home
<3> and this is what ive come up with
<3> Hardware Firewall (Allow Port 80 Only) >>>>>> BOX 1 Software Firewall (Allow Port 80 Only + Local I.P)>>>>>>BOX 2 Software Firewall (Deny all incoming accept for Local I.P)
<3> + Application Protection on both BOXES. ie, SSH Hosts.Allow + Hosts.Deny, etc
<3> am i going about security the right way?
<3> The internet comes into the hardware firewall
<1> I'm going to pirate a copy of vista and run that for awhile
<0> dont think ill bother
<0> maybe if i HAVE to for a certain game
<2> ive installed nvidia drivers now, with kpg-config and linux-headers && gcc && xserver-xorg-dev packages
<1> I'd love to run linux on this core2duo instead but nothing I have tried will work
<1> so screwit
<2> but now when i reboot and everytihing i get 50 khz on 1600x1200 res =)
<2> and in my xorg.conf file ive defined the horizontal scanlines and vertical to teh proper values for my monitor..
<0> libben, are you running kde?
<2> with same value as i had with "nv" driver i now with "nvidia" driver has 50 instead of 86
<4> dustybin: sounds fine
<2> Hewitson: yes
<4> security is in your head
<0> libben, change it in the control center
<2> well the value only goes to 50-59 for khz
<2> i should be able to choose 85 in that list
<2> and there is none =)
<0> what size monitor have you got
<3> libben are u using mythtv?
<2> no
<3> libben try running some video / dvd and see if the motion is smooth
<5> i herd 2007 will be the year of teh linux desktop
<1> hrm daponiez got a new IP
<1> took you long enough
<0> DRPONIUS, prople say that every year
<5> but this year could be different
<0> unlikely
<5> y
<0> basically because its just too hard for the average user to use
<5> noobs
<0> plus half the worlds wanking over vista atm
<5> vista is just eyecandy
<2> my xorg http://pastebin.com/869163
<2> and i have done a reboot
<3> could somone code a bot to kick people if the term 'vista' is used?
<5> y
<2> anyone see anything wrong in my xorg.conf?
<4> what does it output/
<4> when you try to startx
<2> ive installed nvidia drivers... and now i get 50 khz on my crt
<2> on my 1600x1200 resolution
<4> dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver
<4> and fix it
<4> except that you already modified your xorg.conf and dpkg won't overwrite it
<0> libben, what is saying 50khz? the computer or the monitor?
<2> then i do dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ?
<0> ive had the computer say 50khz and the monitor was running at 85
<0> it can be reported wrongly sometimes
<1> can you count each refresh as it scrolls by? ;)
<3> use your phone to record video of your monitor >> transfer video into computer >> play at half speed and count refresh
<2> lol =)
<2> yeah =)
<2> or not =)
<2> well... it actually feels fine
<2> 60 khz gets me freaky
<2> this feels steady
<3> u should be using your monitors default refresh rate and res
<2> but when looking in pheripials its just wrong se 50 51 52 up to 59
<0> a monitor doesnt have a "default" refresh rate/resolution
<2> its a 21 inch crt
<3> oh
<2> his talking about native
<3> crt!
<3> solution no.2 >> sell crt >> buy tft
<0> libben, press the menu button on your monitor
<0> what hz does it say its running at
<2> i dont get that value =(
<1> often they will say when you go to adjust the geometry
<0> kde says 50hz here
<2> lol
<0> its actually running at 85hz
<2> now i found a menu that reported it =) only needed to go thru 12 menus down =)
<2> yeah
<2> same here
<2> 85
<1> if it were running 50 you'd have *known* it
<1> you'd be able to practically count the refreshes
<0> i think youd have a headache by now
<1> the flicker would be so bad
<0> using the computer @ 50hz on my tv KILLS my eyes
<2> [04:40] <2> well... it actually feels fine
<2> [04:41] <2> 60 khz gets me freaky
<2> [04:41] <2> this feels steady
<2> when my friend thinks 60 hz is ok.. i get OMG, I so wanna smash ur head into the monitor =)
<3> ive got my SVIDEO out running at 60hz on my TV for mythtv, the flickers pretty bad but its a is 50-60hz anyway
<3> ive got my SVIDEO out running at 60hz on my TV for mythtv, the flickers pretty bad but its a is 50-60hz TV anyway
<2> hmm
<2> wich videoplayer should i install... and it should work with iceweasel
<3> CRTs refresh rates are higher than normal TV refresh and u should make use of them?
<3> i use xine for video
<2> i like vlc at work
<3> u need a plug in for iceweasel
<3> ive never used vlc
<2> its pretty ok
<2> i like the shortcuts 1 2 3 while working =)
<3> i think most players are just basic front ends and they often run similar background stuff to display video etc
<3> *GUI
<2> yeah
<2> codecs is the power
<3> aye
<2> but in the end u like what u work with
<3> are u running etch?
<2> yes
<3> how u finding it
<2> havent done it more then a couple of hours... been of linux for a year... i tend to dualboot debian on and of with xp... but so far pretty stable.. but i havent tried anything really stupid och more demandning on it yet. So will see how it turns out
<3> dont u think the time has come to remove xp?
<2> nope =) linux is still far away from user friendly..
<0> xp still has it uses
<0> on the odd occasion
<2> just like a simple thing to install quake3 is demanding on linux.
<1> quite
<3> yes, games mainly.. if u play them?
<1> I run etch in a virtual machine from windows host
<0> libben, no it isnt
<2> Hewitson: from ur POV that is
<2> ;)
<2> its not that hard for me either
<2> i can do it
<2> real simple
<2> quake3 is a easy game
<0> i cant beat the boss
<2> but when i copy all my mod folders from ntfs mount... and then try to fix so it all works togheter
<3> ive never played quake
<2> then there is problem
<6> can one ever beat the boss?
<3> libben do u network windows shares with linux using samba?
