<0> what is the good site for linux news ?? most update sites, other than www.slashdot.org, linux.com, or ww.lwn.net
<1> xerophyte: kerneltrap
<2> debian.org/News/ ?
<3> ok, forget england, lost cause anyway, back to my whois thingy...
<3> can I just change all my details so they're not exactly right? ;-)
<1> fluxdude: you can do whatever your registrar's TOS says you can do.
<3> ok guess I'd better get reading...
<1> fluxdude: but be aware that you're now on public record stating your intent to defraus IANA or ARIN or RIPE or whoever it is
<1> and to defraud them, too
<1> xerophyte: also planet.debian.net for debian stuff
<3> not trying to defarud anything, will just give an email i don't use often so i don't care if it's spammed....
<3> ;-)
<1> fluxdude: sure, pal, whatever you say.
<3> indeed.
<2> I love how the Latest News link at www.debian.org/News/ is still pointing at 2005 like that can not be scripted or simply changed to 2006
<3> what about all those domains registered with generic Registrant Name:Registration Private and Registrant Street1:DomainsByProxy.com
<1> kspath: file a bug against www.debian.org package
<4> kspath: maybe there hasn't been any news in 2006?
<1> fluxdude: i suppose thos eagencies contract to p*** on any communication to their clients
<5> islannissa
<2> azeem: !news_smite azeem http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/ is just fine.
<5> wrong window
<4> kspath: I am not sure what that has to do with anything
<3> so same thing then, they just don't get your favourite email address and front door...
<2> azeem: I must be off-topic than.
<6> hello all
<6> ok found an excellent book about postfix the definitive guide by dent
<7> How do i find if user root has su'ed to another user say su - abc
<8> hey kingsley are you here ?
<9> gfg: if you're that using do 'whoami'
<9> bliss: eh i think the postfix wiki has better documentation than that book
<6> helo cisse
<6> i just lokked at it in boarders during lunch looks ok
<10> guys, i need help...how do i run memtest without having to use a CD
<11> floppy?
<10> there's a deb package i installed but for some reason it wont let me use it
<10> no floppy, diskless workstation
<7> cisse: No if there are more than one user logged in as root
<7> cisse: How can i know from my terminal
<10> Guerin: any idea? you there?
<12> hm, does memtest(+) support usb stick?
<6> is there a good p***word manager that give a strong root p***word
<9> gfg: w command
<1> britt: wtf
<13> britt: configure lilo/grub whatever you use
<10> nkuttler: havent had to do that yet, is it easy enough to do?
<1> bliss: just use shadow p[***words like everyone sane
<14> britt: read /usr/share/doc/packagename/*
<6> ok Guerin and for the guys who are running win2000 with VPN and sarge as guest they are ok
<10> nkuttler: i was getting ready to say just that. didnt think about doing it from grub
<10> Guerin: thanks, as always
<10> :)
<10> cya
<1> bliss: wtf??
<6> yep you got it Guerin wtf ---but you will never know untill you try
<1> ...
<15> how can i tell dpkg to reinstall a package, and create all missing config files
<15> like purging then reinstalling but without purging
<1> hypnox: dpkg --force-help
<15> thanks
<16> If I put a network-card into promiscious mode and start etherreal. Do I get ALL packages or could it be that I miss some traffic. And how can I know how many traffic I miss?
<1> lexter: you need to talk to a networking channel
<16> Guerin: Is there on on freenode?
<1> lexter: dunno.
<16> Guerin: I thought it would be a good idea to ask it here.
<17> f*ck
<1> streuner: w*at?
<17> Guerin: Kingsley-Adjustment-Tool - f*ck
<15> lexter you will see everything on your network segment.
<1> streuner: I d*n't k*ow w*at y*u're t*lking a*out
<18> what's the ftp mget option to cp -R? (that is, to download everything including subfolders)
<16> hypnox: But what if there is too much traffic. Could it be a problem of a too small buffer in the kernel and or network driver stack or in etherreal?
<19> I'm trying to isntall debian using "linux26"' boot parameter since my NIC isn't supported by 2.4. But when it says "loading module ide-disk for blabla" it stalls
<20> douglas: perhaps 'cp -a' ?
<18> within ftp?
<19> What can I do?
<18> to download i meant not copy remotely
<1> GutterPunk: boot into expert and disable all ide drivers except those which say 'linux ide support'
<1> douglas: i'd use lftp -e mirror
<1> i don't know thew ftp command
<19> Guerin, I'll try it. Brb
<18> ok thanks
<21> can someone point me to a faq or tell me how to set my headless deb box to a static IP. it boots to runlevel 2 if that matters
<20> douglas: you want to transfer a directory tree with ftp? I use rsync for such transfers
<20> osiris: man 5 interfaces
<21> thx
<22> would this adaptor work under linux ? TL-WN320G
<23> _joey: you would be better googling for the model + linux
<1> !fgi _joey TL-WN320G+linux
<24> _joey: http://****inggoogleit.com/search?query=TL-WN320G+linux
<22> Guerin Go and google it, I'd wait for you here
<19> Guerin, how do I make it use linux26 in expert mode? I tried boot: expert linux26 but that does not work
<25> hi
<2> GutterPunk: F3 shows some options
<19> kspath, expert26 that's it :) thanks
<25> can i ask if there is a maintainer here why they have removed the package fglrx from testing as i need this for tv- out on my ati card foolishly removed when apt told me it was obsolete and this is the only current cofig to make it work
<15> _jason find out actual chipset, if not supported, use ndiswrapper
<25> ?
<15> _joey even
<25> anyone else use tv out here with an ati card?
<25> i have gatos and ati-tvout packages installed as well as frame buffer support packages
<22> how well does ndiswrapper work ?
<22> hypnox:
<26> _joey: /join #ndiswrapper and ask them
<17> _joey: or check out there website
<15> _joey it works just fine for me and my pcmcia wireless adapter, except that the wireless strength meter doesn't work
<17> ndiswrapper.sf.net IIRC
<23> _joey: why would you expect someone else to google for you?
<22> hypnox: did you get wpa going with ndiswrapper ?
<15> didn't try that
<19> Guerin, theres no way to disable the loading of ide-disk at that point... installation just won't continue
<27> hiya, if I'm in screen, how do I detach?
<28> ^A D ?
<28> ChrisW: try man screen next time
<29> did you guys know that Entourage won't install on Debian?
<30> holy ****! no?
<31> amazing
<32> hi all!
<27> fhffhqvb: thanks :-)
<32> Anyone knows about a Debian problem with root permissions?
<29> that's vague
<30> huh huh. the root problem.
<33> NeoZero: best to be not so vague
<32> yes, te problem is that the root user do not have write permissions to open "/var/lib/apt/lists/lock'
<32> and in the booting messages, appears a lot of "permission denied" lines
<29> they damn well should
<34> BFCTNMGYBHUNJM
<32> any idea?
<35> Guys what will be the best, or one of the best configuration for a noew generation computer lab? T-1 connectivity, Gigabit switches and cat-6 cables???
<20> NeoZero: we need specific details
<36> there is no best
<36> budget ?
<32> in fact, the root user can't do a simple "touch something" in that directory (/var/lib/apt/lists/)
<2> jair_11: T-1 is SLOW it was FAST in 1997
<30> mmm, new generation...
<36> I think you need 10 f5's gigabyte uplinks and milti homed machines
<2> jair_11: you can get 10ms latency with T-1 but the bandwidth is not large.
<36> yeah it was
<36> its not much cheaper that n1997
<30> gigabit squitches and cat-6 is good but you're network performance will depend on the NIC in each host at that point.
<35> kspath, what do you think then will be something good?
<20> NeoZero: so fix the permissions on /var/lib/apt/lists so root has write permission
<37> Wow, thanks dkpg :P
<36> thats why switched everything multi homed machines
<2> jair_11: Sorry, I can not pull up all the files on you and your service options now. Give me a few hours.
<37> Question: anyone know a good guide for connecting to a Windows Shared Printer?
<36> prolly wants a DMZ or multi
<32> lepton: I think that the permissions are OK, wait... drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 960 2006-02-13 15:10 lists
<30> !tell houn about samba
<36> oh is this T1 frame relay ?
