Comments:
<0> whats the debian way to change ip address?
<1> !tell ic3man05 about interfaces
<2> ic3man05: man 5 interfaces
<3> ic3man05, joe /etc/networking
<1> where'd blondie go?
<1> USmarine: wrong
<1> by a lot
<0> how would I go about bringing up the ncurse interface from the install to do it?
<0> I figured that was the wrong way to do it
<2> ic3man05: the intstaller can escape to a shell, or try the other terminals alt+f2 .. f3 etc, alt+f1 to get back
<4> ic3man05: You mean after the installer is done? As in go back and use that same interface? Dunno about that...
<0> Supaplex: I already installed I want to get it back, won't bother me if I can't do it
<4> ic3man05: Short answer is you edit /etc/network/interfaces, after reading the interfaces man page.
<5> When I run update-grub... it says it found the kernel images, and it looks like it updates the menu.lst, but it doesn't. What can I do to debug this?
<6> well
<6> never going to work
<7> I woner if I can install debian over the network before I have to go to work in an hour :P
<0> dendrite: I know how to do it that way
<0> I wanted the debian installer way
<1> rkrush: how fast is your line?
<4> rkrush: In an hour you can set up a basic server, set up ssh, then go to work and ssh in and complete the install.
<7> DSL, not the fastest around, but not bad.
<7> That's what I was thinking too :)
<1> rkrush: most likely .. yes ..
<8> Hi, new to debian here. I've got sarge installed, with apache2 and I'd like to install php5. Allthough, I've read that adding an unstable source is an ugly solution. Is dotdeb an packagelist to trust?
<1> ***uming the froppies work and your NIC is detected
<7> is that network-console thing worth anything?
<1> !tell fl0w about backports
<1> check backports.org
<9> fl0w : look into backports
<10> What do I do to get update-grub to update the /boot/grub/menu.lst file?
<7> Is there a way to check if my NIC is supported? I don't see Hardware list for sarge..
<1> dserban_: run update-grub
<1> rkrush: what is it?
<5> abrotman, done that, doesn't do crap
<1> (though .. if it works in FBSD .. it'll probably work in debian)
<7> VIA VT6102 Rhine II
<1> should be fine .. afaik anyways
<1> you'll know quickly if you're using the floppies :)
<1> dserban_: you lie!
<2> haha
<7> Heh, okay :)
<8> nice abrotman, thanks.
<10> abrotman, :) nein. It's always worked for me, and now it doesn't.
<10> brb
<1> doesn't take long to load 4.32MB of data :)
<1> dserban_: do a strace ?
<7> Also, do I need cd-drivers floppy if I don't have a CD-ROM?
<1> no .. that's for the install ..
<1> you're going to use the network to install
<1> well .. hopefully
<1> otherwise .. ti's off to netinst for you
<7> I'm getting lost with the documentation in regards to this. It points me every which way and I can't get to the same place twice :P
<7> Okay, well, I'm going in then :P
<7> Wish me luck ;)
<1> !bless rkrush
<11> O $DEITY, we beseech you to bless your child rkrush, who is about to do something stupid and needs all the help you can give. Amen.
<12> goodluck rkrush
<1> !ig
<11> install guide is at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual and choose the 'ARCH' for your box
<7> Heh, cool :D
<1> he's so toast :)
<12> LOL
<12> I was just thinking to myself he'll be back real soon
<13> anyone know how to fix gtk's dialog buttons so they can be clicked multiple times without moving my cursor?
<14> !rewritegtk
<14> hmm, doesnt work
<13> that would be retarded, the idea is retarded to begin with, i can control my own fingers
<14> you should try a dvorak keyboard then
<13> i already have a dvorak keyboard, typing on it now
<14> see :)
<15> If I want to use enigmail, how do I generate a key with the newer Thunderbird? The HOWTOs refer to a generate key which I apparently don't have.
<13> but i like to be able to click through dialogs and such without having to move off the button and back on
<14> yeah that'd be nice
<15> Can I just generate a PGP key that I can use in enigmail?
<14> _rockstar: PGP refers to 'Pretty Good Privacy', a proprietary, commercial software. What you'll likely want is GPG or GnuPG
<1> !pgp
<11> hmm... pgp is a non-free public-key encryption program available from nonUS.debian.org, which will hopefully soon be superseded by the GNU Privacy Guard, GPG. or at http://www.pgpi.com or at MIT http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html
<14> if you use that and enigmail then you can use that to create a new key
<15> Well, yea, I think gpg --gen-key works... Gonna try and import it into enigmail later.
<1> and it has been superceded .. no more PGP .. only GPG
<14> _rockstar: if you already have enigmail installed in thunderbird then you can just use the openpgp menu -> openpgp key manager -> ckeys -> create or somesuch
<2> Using the nvidia one liner, building the kernel module flops at: /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/os-interface.c:1262: error: structure has no member named `rlim' make[4]: *** [/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/os-interface.o] Error 1 what known solutions, if any, are availble to address this? I'm on sarge with a 2.6.16.20 kernel built from kp.
<7> Okay, first problem: I can't boot from the boot floppy. It gets me to the prompt (with the pretty background) and then when I press ENTER to boot, my computer says it's unable to boot and to insert a bootable disk. Any ideas?
<1> rkrush: are you sure the floppy is good? .. that's usually the first problem .. and how did you write the .img ?
<7> dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 conv=sync; sync on a FreeBSD
<16> is there a good source for a 2.6.16.20 kernel?
<16> in deb form
<7> I'll get the image again and try again.
<1> rkrush: of course .. the preferred method is the netinst .. but ti's a 100MB ISO
<7> The problem is I don't have a CD-ROM in that computer :P
<7>
<7> If that's the way I have to go, I'll find one, though.
<7> Of course this all now leaves me about 35 minutes for install, so I should probably not even attempt it :P
<7> That's "should", though, which means I'm going for it anyway ;)
<7> BBL
<1> rkrush: you can leave the download run while you go to work
<17> !seen lilo
<11> lilo is currently on #debian, last said: 'liable: I'm told that someone provided them an old ircd.conf'.
<18> how can i tell maildrop to deliver a message localy and forward to a recipient?
<1> !seen somegeek
<11> abrotman: i haven't seen 'somegeek'
<19> anyone have any reccomendations for a very simple AIM client?
<12> GAIM maybe?
<2> any jabber client when the jabber server supports the aim transport
<20> Anyone: Unix-style carriage returns are "\n", but DOS/Windows style carriage returns are "/n/?" ... whats the ?
<3> unix "\r"
<3> winblows "\n"
<3> mac "\r\n"
<20> ah
<2> USmarine: I'm pretty sure \n is unix...
<20> I'm pretty sure \r\n is windows.
<3> then windows is "\r"
<20> windows has two chars, unix has one.
<3> mac returns both im sure
<21> windows is \r\n
<21> *nix is \n
<22> unix is \n windows is \r\n mac is \r
<23> USmarine: no ... win = \r\n ... unix = \n ... old mac is \r
<21> mac has hysterically been \r
<12> I just hit the "enter" key :)
<20> zinx, now that makes sense.
<24> hi
<24> how can i wipe out the data of my hard disk
<2> I agree with stew
<21> and everything other than \n is stupidity :D
<24> no only erase, really erase it
<2> xpato: shred :)
<23> xpato: securely, so noone can ever recover it?
<20> zinx, you are correct.
<25> I've got a lexmark optra E312. Is there anyway to get it to scale an image it's printing?
<20> zinx, I've confirmed it :-)
<26> greeting my *nixen breathren
<23> xpato: if the hard drive is /dev/hdc you can shred /dev/hdc ... or you can just do one partition, shred /dev/hdc3
<24> Vasistha, do you know if knoppix has shred
<23> whaq: I don't think brethren has an 'a' in it :-)
<23> xpato: no, you'd have to ask in knoppix. but it should, I think it's a core util
<27> Vasistha, oops ;)
<27> does anyone know of a function to provide 'trashbox' feature in console?
<23> whaq: nice nick, btw
<27> so that rm would move the file to /trashbox
<27> Vasistha, thanks
<23> whaq: I was discussing that idea with someone the other day (trashbox) ... I don't think there is. You could always alias rm='mv -i /trashbox'
<22> !info libtrash
<27> Vasistha, ahh.. the feature is implemented on Buffalo's current range of Tera Station (mid-low end NAS)
<27> Vasistha, i've found it to be very useful as a safety net.
<22> wait for it
<27> Vasistha, I'd like to replicate that to my other samba based file server.
<23> whaq: yeah, stew's suggestion looks nice -- http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libtrash
