<knoppix> hui
<knoppix> hi
<knoppix> hmn how to use captive-ntfs (enables write on ntfs) on knoppix cd-live os
<LordCamel> Anybody know if *nix writes to mothballed sectors on the hd?
<triki> can someone tell me if it is possibly to download kernel source and when i got to make menuconfig, is there a way to grab the original setting of the kernel so I don't loose anything ?
<knoppix> u need manualy kopy old konfigs.. all.. i do not know how.. im new
<awol> triki: look in /boot for the config-x.x.x that matches your uname -a
<triki> i installed slax which has all my stuff working, i just d/l kernel source and I don't want to screw things up
<awol> triki: then cp it to the kernel source tree as .config and do make oldconfig
<triki> sweet i'll try that !!
<awol> triki: what's your current uname -r ?
<triki> 2.6.15.6
<awol> ok... do that then
<awol> should work but any newer options will show up in make oldconfig... be prepared to answer them
<triki> only thing in /boot is vmlinuz
<awol> or hit enter for default then make menuconfig to alter
<awol> ah yes... the old slack attack..... depends how ya run it....
<LordCamel> :[
<triki> cp vmlinuz to /usr/src/linux/vmlinuz.config
<awol> no no no
<awol> vmlinuz should be the actual kernel
<awol> depends
<awol> have a look in / as well
<awol> do ls -al /
<dont_look> anyone use vmware? i cant seem to install "vmware tools".
<awol> any loose files lying around?
<triki> ya nothing good there
<awol> triki: where did ya get this kernel?
<triki> came with the distro, it's Slax :P
<inv_Arp> dont_look: that doesnt tell us anyhing... what errrs do you get.. etc...
<triki> trying to add modules
<triki> but there was no module loading support
<triki> i want to add it
<triki> but no loose what is already in kernel
<awol> triki: try.... locate config.gz
<awol> triki: wait a minute... wait a minute
<triki> nothing
<awol> triki: have ya looked at rc.modules file?
<triki> find / -name config.gz
<dont_look> well there are no errors. i selected "vmware tools install" from the VM menu but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
<triki> OHHH wait
<triki> here is one
<triki> /proc/config.gz
<triki> that one good ?
<inv_Arp> triki: yep
<awol> triki: /proc/config.gz is the kernel config..... do zcat /proc/config.gz > config-2.6.15.6
<triki> copy that to /usr/src/linux ?
<inv_Arp> dont_look: the guest is in X?
<awol> dont_look: vmware's weird that way....
<awol> triki: all the make options look for /usr/src/linux/.config file
<awol> triki: ya can do make mrproper in between using any config ya want
<awol> just cp it to .config
<triki> ok just copied config-2.6.15.6 /usr/src/linux/.config
<awol> make oldconfig
<triki> now I can go in and make changes and it will have existing modules loaded :D
<awol> do you actually know what you're doing?
<triki> ya i know how to modify kernel and compile
<triki> just didn't know what you just showed me
<awol> never read /usr/src/linux/README huh?
<triki> i need to do this for ndiswrapper
<triki> need kernel source and what not
<triki> slackware isn't @ 2.6.15 yet :(

<Zippy2> oh well
<Fus1> hello! Is there an easy way to control the processor speed on my laptop? I am running suse
<awol> drive slower....
<inv_Arp> Fus1: cpustep prob...
<Fus1> inv_Arp: how does that work? I'm pretty new to Linux. for windows there's a small app that does it for me. I'm looking for something similar here. the fan is driving me crazy
<inv_Arp> Fus1: no idea, install it and man it... should be to hard
<Fus1> inv_Arp: where do I find it?
<inv_Arp> Fus1: what distro?
<Fus1> suse linux 10.1
<inv_Arp> hmm... yum install cpustep? check suse's archives for package never used suse
<Fus1> suse + cpustep gives 4 google hits...
<awol> Fus1: point yast's installation medium to ftp.suse.com
<awol> type.... yast
<Fus1> and?
<awol> it's a guified admin tool for doing just about EVERYTHING for SuSE....
<awol> it _should_ have been the very first thing you learned...
<awol> yast == yet another setup tool
<Fus1> thanks!
<awol> it's SuSE's main admin tool.... for console or X
<Fus1> I'll check it out
<Fus1> looks like that's what I'm looking for
<awol> let's get at 8,000+ apps
<awol> erm lets ya get at
<Fus1> cool
<awol> last suse i used was 6.4 tho....
<awol> it's probably changed a bit...
<Fus1> awol: it looks good! thanks for the tip!
<Fus1> just what I needed
<Fus1> take care
<Tom-Cat> anyone up?
<Tom-Cat> hello?
<Tom-Cat> where is everyone?
<IdiotStic> must be at dinner heh, what's up?
<Tom-Cat> IdiotStic:i'm trying to get gnome or kde installed on debian
<IdiotStic> do you already have X installed?
<Tom-Cat> well, check this out. it's a screenshot
<Tom-Cat> http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/9582/vmwaredebianstartxerrorij6.png
<Tom-Cat> i did apt-get install xdm
<Tom-Cat> and everything went fine
<Tom-Cat> not sure what to do next
<IdiotStic> I'd use aptitude and get all of X installed first. xfree86 or xorg, with the fonts etc, then do kde or gnome
<IdiotStic> Tom-Cat: are you using sarge?
<awol> xdm == X display manager
<Tom-Cat> think so
<awol> apt-get install x-window-system will install xfree86
