<0> oh crap .. i lost that highlight
<0> k-man: not a clue
<1> i installed debian through one of the debian-installer (etch) and after the reboot, it won't startup properly and says ALERT! /dev/sdb2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell! any ideas on what the issue could be?
<2> j33: run fdisk -l and look what names your partitions have
<3> j33: it is trying to mount a filesystem on a non existing partition.
<4> does the -smp kernel image work on non-smp systems too?
<3> j33: for various reason instead of ignoring the error, most distros stop the boot.
<3> mortal__: yes, but you don't get the speed of 2 CPUs...
<2> mortal__: yes, but it will be slower
<5> Hey, anyone ever have an LCD **** the bed on them when doing crtl+alt+numpad[+|-] to change resolution?
<1> right but this is after the initial install reboot
<1> the /dev/sd devices aren't in /dev and the root partition isn't mounting
<5> whenever I startx now the screen is completely fubar; I'm not an LCD user, didn't realize things would **** up
<6> how can i fix this: zlib1g-dev: Depends: zlib1g (= 1:1.2.2-4) but 1:1.2.2-4.sarge.2 is to be installed
<0> _Sam--: did you run apt-get update frist ?
<0> first even



<6> ya, im on amd64...
<6> and i think that has something to do with it
<6> but all my packages <not all> but most complain similarly
<0> are you on pure64 or 32bit ?
<6> im not sure i understand the question....i started with a generic x86_64 install yesterday...then made my kernel for SMP & Raid
<6> but im on dual opterons with a kernel compiled for them
<6> its been holding me back from using a lot of deb packages...and having to compile way too many things.
<6> so if you can think of what i need , please let me know
<0> _Sam--: paste your sources somewhere
<0> !paste
<7> Do not paste into the channel. Use #flood or visit http://channels.debian.net/paste/
<6> sure
<6> its only 4 lines can i just paste here...
<6> not that active here right this sec
<2> No you can't
<0> _Sam--: no you can't
<8> how can i make a user's home directory not readable for other users?
<6> i dont know what this IRC has come to...a bunch of pastebin nazis...sec.
<9> edrin: man chmod
<0> drink more!
<6> abrotman : http://sam.pastebin.com/633270
<10> dude, it's not rocket surgery... "/join #flood" then paste there
<9> abrotman: with pleasure
<6> its 4 lines...whats the big deal..but no worries.
<0> _Sam--: you need the security line for amd64
<2> _Sam--: go ahead then. 4 lines and you get kicked, you will annoy all regulars (tho you just annoyed them already, so it doesn't matter)
<6> i had it commented out
<8> asg: do I have to do it recursiv
<8> ?
<0> you had what commented out ?
<6> the security line
<6> #deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
<0> you kind of need it
<9> edrin: no, chmod 700 /home/foo will do
<6> will see if it helps, thanks.
<6> THANK YOU.
<11> then if you're on stable or (maybe) testing, you get security updates
<12> How interesting.. it seems there are somewhat free specs.. you still need to send them a letter though, you can't "just download them".
<5> are there any console text editors that support html highlighting? hahaha
<5> I can't get into X, this is pretty lame
<9> erudified: vim
<11> xemacs too
<5> X -configure segfaults from libc6-686
<8> asg: is there a webpage were all these numbers and their meanings are listed? like 700 and so on?
<9> edrin: /msg dpkg permissions
<11> info fileutils, look for file permissions
<11> take a beginning intro to unix course
<11> you'll get that on the first day
<6> thanks again...i should have come here hours ago.
<13> I've written a Startup-Skript and Linked it to /etc/rcS.d. There it does NOT get executed during startup. If I link it to /etc/rc2.d everything works fine. I thought, all scripts in rcS.d get executed during startup?
<6> i only wasted 3 or so
<5> How accurate is read-edid?
<6> would be nice if the debian installer supported adaptec host raid
<11> 94.95789347583465834y65873465873465786%
<0> _Sam--: it does .. of course .. depends on the controller i suppose
<6> i had to install on a non-raided setup, make a new kernel, create the hardware raid array, then boot to the new kernel..was a long process
<6> adaptec 7902w
<11> not a bad process to learn, btw
<6> especially because i created the raid array before using raid installer
<6> to create the array took an hour or so...only to realize the debian installer didndt see the drives



<14> apache2 on my sarge system is one hour off from the system time
<8> asg: ok, this shows how to calculate it, but isn't there a list where i can simply look it up?
<11> go1dfish: oh
<14> if I restart apache2, the time starts off being right again
<14> but eventually goes back to being exactly one hour late
<9> edrin: not that I'm aware of. It's pretty simple though (just remember that its in octal or use the GNU extended syntax)
<14> localtime is pointing at /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern
<14> /etc/timezone is US/Eastern
<14> /etc/default/rcS has UTC=no
<11> how did you find out "the system time"
<14> date
<11> is date always accurate for you?
<14> yes
<11> ok, so this looks like a timezone issue
<14> yeah, thats what I thought, but im stumped at this point
<14> date returns: Fri Mar 31 16:23:45 EST 2006
<15> could anyone help, I am experiencing end of disk space on various parts of debian system like home, var, usr how can I shrink each of these? or what should I do?
<11> well, what do you mean when you say apache2 time is off? how do you know?
<14> an apache2 404 page is saying: Fri Mar 31 15:23:42 2006
<9> suetekhd: try 'apt-get clean' ; and remove cruft from your /home
<14> also any dates I get under mod_python are also off
<14> by one hour
<11> ok, and you're running the browser from what?
<9> go1dfish: sounds like an EDT vs EST issue
<14> immediately after restarting apache, the dates match
<15> asg anyway I want more space everywhere, so I am to delete everywhing on disk and reinstall
<14> but after a few minutes they start diverging again
<9> suetekhd: or add more disks and symlink parts to partitions on the new disks
<14> ecdemo: another machine on a separate network
<14> set to EST as well
<14> asg: how do I go about checking to see if that is the case
<11> you might want to check the request headers
<9> go1dfish: date(1) will tell you if you are EST or EDT
<9> go1dfish: also, are you running apache in a chroot?
<16> Hi all, im running both X.org and XFree (testing and stable) with xinerama, both of them give an error when running xscreensaver-command -lock and closes xscreensaver.
<14> asg: no apache is not running in a chroot
<17> asg: what does the (1) syntax of date(1) represent?
<14> asg: not sure what you mean by the (1)
<9> [Thom]: the section of the manual
<14> but date shows EST
<9> [Thom]: man 1 foo, man 5 foo
<9> [Thom]: generally, man foo defaults to (1) but that's system dependant.
<17> oh sweet.
<17> did not know that
<9> [Thom]: useful for pointing out which man page you want if there are ones in different sections:
<9> asg@rob:~$ apropos date | grep ^date
<14> date -u is returning: Fri Mar 31 21:28:18 UTC 2006
<9> date (1) - print or set the system date and time
<9> date (1fun) - get and print a date
<14> which I believe is correct?
<9> go1dfish: it is, according to my EST
<14> any ideas what might be happening?
<18> i get "./uplink: symbol lookup error: ./uplink: undefined symbol: __glutRoot" when i try to start uplink. freeglut3 and libglut3 are installed. what am i missing?
<9> go1dfish: no, that's rather odd. what does hwclock print?
<14> asg: not sure what you mean by hwclock
<9> go1dfish: sorry, /sbin/hwclock
<14> thnm
<14> got ya
<14> nm*
<13> Anybody a clue, how a HDD is encrypted if you enable the option in the bios?
<17> asg: Can you think of a reason why I wouldn't be able ssh into my system, but can from another terminal on the same system?
<14> Fri 31 Mar 2006 04:27:56 PM EST -0.179558 seconds
<19> how do I go about supporting asp on my deb server?
<19> i dont see it in the package manager
<20> [thom] a router without NAT configured
<9> [Thom]: are you using keys or just a p***word?
<21> whats the fastest way to get a public_html dir from a remote server via ftp? wget or use ftp?
<17> asg just a p***word...
<9> deadcat: scp -r foo .
<18> deadcat: lftp, enter 'help mirror'
<21> asg: i only have ftp access
<21> amee2k: thanks
<14> should I set the hw clock to utc and try it that way?
