Comments:

<0> abrotman: no, the installer instructions work the same, the bugs are fixed, but if you download the latest net-installer and follow the instructions in the article, you have no problem
<1> limpio: if you want to recommend a document for installing sarge(other than the official install manual), at least try to find one that is up to date
<2> any suggestions on how to debug irssi not resizing?
<3> abrotman: my names is kellly
<1> oh ffs
<1> danieldg: don't you have to do that before you start irrsi?
<0> abrotman: installing according to the manual and ending up with kde and gnome is stupid
<1> limpio: apparently you don't know how to read
<3> abrotman: who is sam
<0> abrotman: apparently
<3> coz u think its me
<2> abrotman: sure, but what should I do? I've been starting a second irssi. strace and ltrace don't really give any useful info
<4> wow aolers cant even cloak or troll very well
<1> playwitme: /part #debian
<1> danieldg: i thought you meant a terminal resize ...
<2> abrotman: I do



<3> abrotman: y what does that do
<1> danieldg: ctrl-l .. that's all i can think of ..
<5> how can i extract file in a .deb file?
<2> abrotman: tried that, just helps a bit with the mess on screen, but doesn't actually fix the size
<1> amee2k: ar x <deb>
<1> danieldg: i'm pretty sure you have to size the terminal before starting irrsi
<2> abrotman: I had it working 2 hours ago
<5> ty
<1> danieldg: uhm .. ok
<2> and for the previous year before that..
<3> abrotman: what does that thing does
<2> I've been able to find that ncurses programs in general don't work, but aptitude works fine.
<6> playwitme: do you have a question about Debian?
<4> azeem: why would they now? they didnt the last time you kicked them out earlier
<6> playwitme: if not, then please do not disturb us doing support in here
<3> azeem: ok but i got no1 2 talk 2
<6> ah, *that* sam
<4> yep
<7> how do i mount a usb stick?
<7> i mean what dev will it be?
<6> alex116: do you run GNOME or KDE?
<8> depends
<6> then it should be done automatically
<7> fluxbox
<9> /dev/sdX1 maybe
<10> alex116: usually /dev/sda
<11> whats a good monitoring console appz to monitor ur network interface or traffic ?
<7> ok i'll check those
<6> alex116: stick it in and monitor dmesg
<7> ok
<12> d4t2ilL4: real time or stats?
<9> yes dmesg will say
<13> is there somewhere a good guide to debian partitioning and the dir-system of debian/linux? cause i have no clue of it at all
<8> d4t2ilL4 : tcpdump iptraf ethereal tethereal ...
<14> anybody know of a console ftp client with curses-interface ?
<6> heny: there's no one-good-way
<1> azeem: which sam did you think i meant? :)
<6> dunno
<1> hehe
<13> azeem: i have NO clue at all - i just want to understand the system to make my own thoughts
<6> the nick was sammylvz, so I didn't connect the two
<1> oh .. sorry
<11> petemc realtime
<6> heny: having /home on a seperate partition makes sense
<6> everything else is probably not worth it at this point
<12> d4t2ilL4: iptraf, as jengelh mentioned
<13> yes azeem, but i have no idea of the WHOLE dir-system of linux at all
<6> heny: well, only if you plan to have lots and/or important data on it I guess
<11> is tethereal good ?
<0> join #linux
<6> heny: read a book
<15> heny: you'll want a swap partition as well
<6> heny: or a tutorial
<11> petemc, tethereal is around 24 meg :/
<13> yes, but where which tutorial?
<12> d4t2ilL4: OH GNO!!!
<7> ok the usb stick was at /dev/sde but it says wrong file system when I do "mount -t msdos /dev/sde /usb" same with vfat. how can I get the type of fs the usb stick uses?
<11> ahhhh iptraf is whati've been looking for
<16> hey, what packages can I install to be able to encode to xvid video's? avifile-xvid-plugin didn't help
<17> hi all



<18> running debian/etch, suddenly evolution started to be weird here, everytime I get a message with some graphics in it, evolutin crashs, just hangs, now I had to remove all mails from .evolution/mail/local to even get it started..
<7> mount -t usbdevfs < found my problem thanks.
<18> any ideas? tried to turn off fetching gif, but still same, I get formatting message and there it hangs
<8> Hm, where do I add boot parameters when using an initrd?
<4> osiris_: checked the bts?
<18> bts?
<4> !bts
<19> bts is the Bug Tracking System for Debian packages, http://bugs.debian.org/ or to go directly to the bug page for a particular package/bug, try http://bugs.debian.org/packagename or http://bugs.debian.org/bugnumber apt-get install reportbug, and check out querybts too. Unstable users are required to check the BTS, useful for sid: apt-get install apt-listbugs, or apt-get install apt-listchanges, or http://fabre.debian.net/
<4> someone was in earlier today with evolution crashing on etch, i beleive they found a solution there
<18> no, I will check
<4> wasnt really paying that much attention mind you
<20> not debian specific but, how can you specify the initial working directory for an xterm
<8> (cd /tmp; xterm)
<20> i'm doing `xterm -e 'cd (dir) && (shell)'` now.. is there a better way
<20> cd is a shell command
<8> as I said
<8> sh -c 'cd /tmp; exec xterm'
<20> that's good enough; thanks :)
<21> hello boys, don't you have any problem by upgrading with x11-common FROM x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-4_all TO x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-6_all ? (unstable)
<22> no problems here lucox
<23> hi
<21> o problems ?
<24> hi, im having a biiigg*** problem
<24> anyone knows how to netinstall debian sarge when im having ADSL connection?
<25> hello all, have a strange problem. when i do a "ls" in my home directory, it doesn't return the contents of my home directory. instead it just 'hangs' there, not returning anything. i can ls a sub directory in my home directory just fine. any ideas?
<24> i just cant figure it out
<21> ehm :(
<6> mico: what is the problem?
<26> mico: Hmm. I'm pretty sure the net installer has PPPoE support on the disc...
<16> hah.. no debian package for the xvid, it succeeded by downloading and compiling the core from xvid.org
<27> pokkie: dmesg - does it show disk problems?
<6> the netinst maybe, not the businesscard one I think
<24> I downloaded netinstall for i386, i booted it up, it didnt found DHCP, so i continued, it installed base system, but how can i connect to internet now?
<6> mico: do you have an DSL route?
<6> or just a DSL modem
<24> azeem i have a modem, username and p***word, nothing else
<8> almost the same
<6> mico: then you need to confure pppoe I guses
<6> guess
<24> azeem how do i do that?
<6> !pppoe
<19> extra, extra, read all about it, pppoe is ppp over ethernet, apt-get install pppoe pppoeconf and read /usr/share/doc/pppoe/README.Debian This is rp-pppoe, but with the scripts rewritten. For PPPOE support in 2.4 kernels enable EXPERIMENTAL Features and go to Network Device Support
<6> dunno if that is still uptodate
<25> bbrazil: yea, got the problem - thanks
<24> azeem i cant access aptidute because i dont got internet, and i have no idea how to enable ppoe in kernel
<6> mico: try apt-get install pppoe ppoeconf
<25> bbrazil: wasn't a disk problem as such, problem is that one of the directories in my home directory points to a directory on another pc
<6> if that wants to use the internet, you either need to download the packages on another box, or burn the full ISO-1
<24> azeem but if i download ISO-1 CD and burn it, then i can make aptidute source cdrom and install pppoe from there?
<6> sort of
<27> pokkie: NFS/SMB issue?
<6> check whether it is on the one you installed from first, though
<24> azeem ok
<28> my tank isn't cycling, how can I get nitrifying bacteria to take hold?
<25> bbrazil: smb
<13> ircii is the irc-std-client of debian right?
<25> bbrazil: just a timeout issue because the drive wasn't 'mapped'
<8> drives are mounted, not mapped
<24> azeem and do i need anything else besides my username and p***word or is it complicated?
<6> mico: I don't know, I never configured ADSL
<6> maybe try to find a tutorial on google
<24> and one more thing, can anyone suggest some easy program what helps me to use CD-ROM more easily?
<24> i still havent figured out how to mount it manually from shell
<24> i need some wizard or something, newbie as i am
<6> mount /cdrom
<6> or use a desktop environment which mounts it automatically for you
<29> or use KDE
<22> kde's automounter is screwy
<24> azeem i can prolly only use fluxbox or such, as im running it on 166mhz pentium with 32ram
