Comments:

<0> peppet, thx
<1> I just switched to sid. and I lost open gl/mesa on both my i810 and my nvidia machines? my nvid was is from nvidia.com the i810 is .deb
<2> any experience with clustering qmail?
<1> is there any way to get mesa working agian? maybe some different packages or something
<3> I don't suppose aptitude/dselect will let me list all the packages I've selected for installation but haven't installed yet?
<4> check with synaptic
<5> !qotd0
<6> [qotd30] <rich_> Thats really the reason you have so much trouble. Linux is just a kernel to you. Without the apps yould be lost. For me, the kernel is the os, and if thats all I had, Id write my own apps
<4> wow
<7> hi everybody
<7> in "dmesg | less" i find a
<7> kernel BUG at drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c:755!
<4> faber3: hello
<7> where is a good starting point to get this fixed? i am on a kernel 2.6.12
<7> where can i browse the kernel source tree?
<8> hi, i want to write a CD with some linux files and directories in it, but also some windows files and directories, like Word documents. How could I do this?



<9> pace45, why dont you just burn the cd?
<9> pace45, i dont see a problem
<8> because, as far as i know, i wouldnt have access permissions in the cd
<1> pace45: what software do you intend to use? I usually just use gnomebaker or the like to make an iso then burn it. Unless your problem lies in haveing perms to the drive it's self
<10> hm. who do you mail if you have a glibc patch?
<8> ummm, i have some projects, for which i used autotools, you know, configure, make and that stuff. I don't really know if the CD filesystem has got r-w-x permissions, and if that is the case, if i could read them from windows
<11> I'm running Debian stable. sshfs gives me a "fusermount: mount failed: Invalid argument" error, but afaik everything is OK. sshfs user@ip.of.my.server: <mount>
<1> pace45: are you useing iso9660?
<8> i don't really know if there are different formats to burn a cd, apart from that one. But, as i said, i would like the cd to be readable both from linux and windows
<7> does anyone have a nameserver ip for me?
<12> wow... this is some of the best Dylan I've heard! yay!!
<12> oops, wrong channel! darn it!
<1> pace45: I am not sure but I think that as long as you stick to the iso format it should be readable by any machine any where. like most cd's
<1> pace45: the cd filesystem is different than say ext3 or what not.
<8> ok, so i first build an iso using gnomebaker (are there any more programs to do this?) and then i burn to a cd. It seems fine, thank you
<7> if i do a apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15, it wants to remove the 2.6.12 image, why?
<13> faber3: it's likely pulling the newer udev which isn't compatible with .12
<7> Coweater: ah, ok. well maschine is back up in 2.6.15 now, and my problems with the adaptec scsi and an external storage are gone...
<14> is there a good pci wlan card supporting master mode and wds and of course wpa/wpa2 encryption on linux?
<15> !wlan
<6> rumour has it, wlan is Wireless LAN, or see wlan-ng
<15> callee: i think the madwifi site has a hardware list
<15> callee: or kismet's site
<15> callee: rt2x00 chipset support is also ok
<14> valdyn: i'd need at least wpa/wpa2 in psk mode wds would be nice
<16> how do we uninstall apps from tar.gz.package ?
<14> ZSakr: not at all
<16> ?
<14> zamolxes: tar.gz is just an archive
<14> no package and therefore nothing to help uninstall except perhaps a makefile inside supporting make uninstall, but thats just it
<16> ok
<16> one more thing about this htb.init ...i cant find its download buttons
<14> what is htb.init?
<14> sounds like a qos script or so
<14> but nothing debian-like though
<5> ZSakr: if you are lucky, it has a make uninstall, otherwise, you manually delete all it installed.
<14> liable: thats why i prefer checkinstall :)
<14> fortunately its only rarely necessary as debians apt almost fetches anything by default
<17> is it safe to dist-upgrade into the new kde for unstable?
<18> its unstable, so its never safe
<14> outlaw84: it is never safe, thats why its called unstable
<5> callee: yeah, i should try that out one day :)
<17> was anyone of you done it?
<19> outlaw84: define safe :)
<15> outlaw84: unstable changes daily, even if i had done it yesterday, it might not work today
<17> valdyn: are you running kde?
<15> outlaw84: no
<17> apt is teeling me that is will remove e
<14> outlaw84: i am on testing, as unstable screwed my setup too often
<5> outlaw84: if you are scared of it breaking, use etch instead of sid
<17> apt is teeling me that is will remove kdelibs-bin
<5> though, even etch breaks often enough
<15> outlaw84: and what is the problem with that?
<14> liable: but sarge doesnt work on my laptop..
<17> and I read on packages.debian.org that its the core binaries for all KDE applications
<16> http://pastebin.com/710364 help
<15> outlaw84: that info text is for sarge?
<15> outlaw84: you cant take a sarge package and just ***ume it even exists in sid
<17> I checked it for the unstable distro
<17> valdyn: I am allready using unstable
<5> callee: i didnt say anything about sarge, or you running etch, or, actually anything to you about running unstable.



<15> outlaw84: what are you doing that yields that error?
<17> I am running unstable and I do dist-upgrade weekly to get the lastest stuff... but now for a while I haven't done any dist upgrades because apt wanto to remove kdelibs-bin
<15> outlaw84: run 'apt-get install kde'
<15> callee: and why would that be a problem?
<5> ZSakr: looks like you need a kernel source
<17> valdyn: It says I got the latest version, but if I do an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' there are lots of kde packages that are going to be upgraded
<14> valdyn: because of the current version in testing and unstable doesnt support stateful filtering for ipv6
<20> in my kdmrc file, there is this line: ServerCmd=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -br. What is that option -br?
<5> ZSakr: no idea about the maxdepth bit though
<14> syntax error: i meant "because of the current version in testing and unstable not supporting stateful filtering ipv6"
<21> can i script a kde program?
<15> outlaw84: ok, i checked, kdelibd-bin is not in unstable ( at least not for amd64 ), that's bad. I suggest you dont upgrade till that is fixed
<15> outlaw84: ok, i checked, kdelibs-bin is not in unstable ( at least not for amd64 ), that's bad. I suggest you dont upgrade till that is fixed, or till none of your programs require it
<17> valdyn: thanks for that. how about i368? I am running that on my laptop
<5> isnt it replaced by kdelibs4c2a >
<5> ?
<15> outlaw84: i dont have a sid i386 system accessible myself
<15> !info kdelibs-bin sid
<15> outlaw84: looks like you shouldnt need that package btw
<15> outlaw84: if your apt-get dist-upgrade wants to only remove kdelibs-bin, its obvious that you dont need that package..
<20> in my kdmrc file, there is this line: ServerCmd=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -br. What is that option -br?
<17> valdyn: if I try to do a dist-upgrade I get 401 upgraded, 10 newly installed, 4 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
<15> outlaw84: so?
<17> kdelibs-bin python2.3-imaging python2.3-imaging-tk python2.3-tk are the once being removed
<15> outlaw84: only 4 packages to check then, for you, if you need them
<17> valdyn: so you think it should work?
<15> outlaw84: do you need any of those 4?
<5> outlaw84: cmon, do you not think maybe those packages are being replaced by others?
<17> well none of them are packages that I KNOW I need
<15> outlaw84: you should probably read about debian package management and in particular how it treats dependencies
<15> outlaw84: nothing else depends on those 4 packages, or you wouldnt be able to remove those 4 without more stuff
<17> valdyn: sound logical
<15> outlaw84: just go ahead upgrade, it may still break, but that would be due to something else
<15> outlaw84: ( as any upgrade can cause breakage )
<5> wjosion: man Xserver (no idea what it actually means :P)
<5> -br sets the default root window to solid black instead of the standard root weave pattern.
<5> ^^ thats what i have no idea about :)
<17> valdyn: thanks for your help, I'll do my dist-upgrade tomorrow
<20> laiblethks.
<20> liable: thks.
<5> no problem
<22> from where i can get iso of debian
<15> rtg: www.debian.org
<23> !d-i rtg
<6> rtg, you want to go to http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/debian-installer/ - for your own good, and everyone else's.
<24> hmm, freetype from testing is always messing up my fonts
<24> they all look very fuzzy and unreadable
<15> CAiRO: you want the packages: x-ttcidfont-conf and read carefully what it tells you or dpkg-reconfigure x-ttcidfont-conf if that is already installed, same for the fontconfig package
<24> ok, thanks, why doesn't freetype depend on that package when it's so important?
<24> (i mean everything has been working fine until the upgrade)
<15> CAiRO: it isnt technically important
<24> yeah, but important to the user if it messes up fonts :)
<15> CAiRO: and there's different ways, kde and gnome come with their own font configuration tools too
<24> oh, i see, thanks for the info
<15> CAiRO: you probably saw those packages as 'recommended' in apt-get, but they're not direct dependencies..
<22> dpkg there r many files there which one to download
<15> rtg: try to ask a specific question
<22> ok how to get debian iso
<24> valdyn: when i dpkg-reconfigure x-ttcidfont-conf it only asks me to choose between freetype and xtt backend, is that connected to fuzzy fonts?
<5> rtg: dpkg is an info bot. do you have good net connection?
<15> rtg: more specific
<23> rtg: have a read of the install guide
<22> liable yes
<15> CAiRO: no not directly, fuzzy fonts is probably the wrong anti aliasing or you may just want no anti aliasing at all
<25> O-)
<24> i think its the wrong anti-aliasing, where do i adjust that?
<15> CAiRO: im just seeing that fontconfig has no dialogue anymore.. looking for this
<5> rtg: x86 processor? is it new hardware or old?
<15> CAiRO: are you on kde or gnome?
<24> valdyn: non of them, only sawfish as window manager
<22> liable pentium m on dell inspiron 6000
<24> the fonts are much too bold
<5> rtg: how old is that?
