Comments:
<0> abrotman: lets go with Sarge
<1> what reason would cause nfs-kernel-server to mount stuff slowly?
<2> !dstats sarge
<1> as in over a min mount time
<3> Device or resource busy
<3> how do i see what is using the device?
<2> fuser or lsof
<2> dpkg: hi
<4> que tal
<1> "/home/jake 192.168.0.20(sync) 192.168.0.21(sync)"
<4> Debian Distro Stats on sarge... 15660 packages, 1471 maintainers, 28170 MB installed size, 8869 MB compressed size.
<2> orchid: pretty close if not accurate ^^
<5> orchid: run apt-cache stats
<0> abrotman: holy cow
<2> !dstats sid
<0> jayeola: ah thanks
<4> Debian Distro Stats on sid... 18498 packages, 1678 maintainers, 39973 MB installed size, 12789 MB compressed size.
<2> orchid: for sid/unstable ^^
<5> orchid: but remember that you can always add repos to you /etc/apt/sources.list and there'll be even more
<6> Could someone help me with partitioning please? I have three primary partitions and abuot 300MB of free space at the end. I want to create a swap partition and a hardware suspend partition. The swap can be extended, but the hardware must be primary to work it seems. However I cannot make both another primary and another extended partition as best I can tell. Whichever I do first the rest of the space becomes Unusable. Insights please?
<0> jayeola: yeah
<7> ok.. so I made a wrong edit in /etc/inittab and now when I boot normally I get an error message and the keyboard is locked so I can't p*** the msg, when I boot into recover-mode the drive is mounted as read only therefore I can't unedit /etc/inittab, how can I remount the drive in read/write mode
<0> abrotman: yikes
<2> orchid: that's bad?
<8> Hi, if I'm using DSA keys with ssh, do I have to use the file "authorized_keys" or "authorized_keys2"?
<9> two|face: mount / -o remount,rw I thnk
<0> abrotman: no, that great
<7> azeem: sweeet man that worked, I have been asking everyone
<2> i would have told you for a lobster!
<7> cause I couldn't umount it
<10> Taa5i: I think you're out of luck. :-( The partition table only has room for four primaries or three primaries and an extended.
<6> tilrman: Is there any way to change an existing Primary partition to Extended?
<7> ok next question, what do I edit in /etc/inittab to keep xwindows from loading on boot and when I logout of xwindows
<11> SonnyBurnett, authorized_keys
<2> two|face: you're doing it wrong
<2> !tell two|face about nodb
<2> !tell two|face about nodm
<7> ok how shoudl I do it then :) thanks
<10> Taa5i: Not the way you want, unless you move the data.
<8> dli_, So if I use DSA I just have to leave my ssd_config as it is right? no modifications right?
<2> two|face: you're trying to do the RH way .. not the debian way
<12> two|face: remove xdm from inittab, will boot to bash prompt
<11> SonnyBurnett, http://www.sshkeychain.org/mirrors/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO-4.html
<6> Fair enough, I guess I'll reinstall again and see if I can get it sorted this time.
<13> hi all, i'm starting to use GNU Stow. I'm installing VMware Server beta. I ***ume that a reasonable place to put it is /usr/local/stow/vmware?
<2> Hatter: xdm is not in inittab
<13> Taa5i: reinstall Debian?
<13> Taa5i: I would be curious to see your scrollback if you pasted it to me in a private /msg.
<12> two|face: oops, abrotman is right, i was too hasty, remove xdm from init.d
<2> Hatter: /msg dpkg nodm
<13> oops, Taa5i I just logged on w/ nickserv now :/
<6> unfo: There's not much to see, it's a very basic console laptop is all. I've reintalled a couple times today trying out different partitioning schemes.
<7> well I tried to remove xdm and it said it wasn't installed
<13> Taa5i: I use 1 big partition for everything, it's imperfect but convenient.
<7> I also issued the command: update-rc.d -f xdm remove but it didn't make a difference
<13> abrotman: why *is* it that Debian doesn't use runlevel 5 for xdm, runlevel 2 for non-xdm?
<6> unfo: I generally at least like a seperate boot and home partition, var as well for servers.
<13> Taa5i: does it work to tar up everything, repartition, and untar? also, does it save any time to do so?
<12> abrotman: thanks
<2> unfo: maybe you sohuld ask RH why they use 5
<6> unfo: Not particularly :p I've got the process down at this point, and not installing X/desktop saves a lot of time.
<13> abrotman: why not? fine, we could use 3/
<2> two|face: are you using GDM or KDM ?
<13> Taa5i: btw your partitioning habits are therefore 2x as elaborate as mine. :)
<2> unfo: traditionally that's for NFS .. but realistically .. you can do whatever you want
<13> abrotman: maybe they use 3 or 4 for "yes daemons but no kdm" or something...
<13> whats for NFS?
<7> abrotman: do you mean gnome or kde?
<2> two|face: gdm or kdm
<13> two|face: sorry to interrupt but GDM is the gnome-themed DM and KDM is the KDE-themed DM.
<2> two|face: dpkg -l | grep dm ... see anything ?
<14> Hi, does anyone here use workrave (for people who have RSIs such as carpal tunnel)
<2> bah .. that's a lot of stuff on mine :)
<15> Hi all. Where and how can I apt-get win32codecs?
<16> drasko: from marillat
<13> minarale: i use xwrits. also I use emacs+viper to help my wrists vs. emacs. :)
<7> yep gdm
<2> !tell drasko about w32codecs
<13> drasko: do you have windows?
<2> two|face: so follow those instructions for gdm instead of xdm
<17> unfo, I just started using xwrits. awesome software :)
<7> abrotman: ok thanks
<15> abrotman, how to ask dpkg about <marillat>?
<14> unfo: workrave is similar, but it runs as a server and tracks your 'usage' among different computers... except that I'm trying to run it in a remove gui-less server
<2> unfo: http://www.bellevuelinux.org/runlevel_def.html .. traditionally .. that was it .. you can do whatever you want though
<13> nile: i know :) I haven't touched the numerous options on this box, tho I'm debating setting something up so that somehow I can continue coding but so that it bugs me more and more to take a break.
<2> !tell drasko about marillat
<16> drasko: /msg dpkg marillat
<18> What can I apt-get to unpack archives?
<2> drasko: /msg dpkg <blah>
<15> maher, whato put in sources list?
<13> minarale: sounds difficult. :)
<2> DarkJesus: what kind?
<18> tar.gz
<16> drasko: look at the website in the factoid
<2> DarkJesus: man tar
<13> DarkJesus: this is the illiterate way to do it: ar x filename.deb
<13> DarkJesus: there's a better way tho.
<2> unfo: he didn't ask about a package
<18> What about an xarchiver like program
<13> DarkJesus: oops, I misread your question.
<13> DarkJesus: i use ark
<13> all, i'm starting to use GNU Stow. I'm installing VMware Server beta. I ***ume that a reasonable place to put it is /usr/local/stow/vmware?
<2> ask #vmware? man stow? put it whereever you want?
<19> anyone knows what application is running behind debian public keyserver (keyring.debian.org) ? I would like to setup something similar
<13> i dunno. i wish there was a regular stow user here who could tell me. :) i thought Stow was a common program...
<20> DarkJesus: There is : unp - unpack (almost) everything with one command
<13> abrotman: re. runlevels webpage: it seems debian doesn't conform to the spec then. :)
<20> DarkJesus: Some time i use that, when i'm to lazy to search :-/
<13> DarkJesus: tar is easy to use: tar xzvf filename.tar.gz unpacks any tar.gz file.
<2> unfo: iirc .. it's not a spec per se .. just commonly done that way
<13> abrotman: ok, s/spec/tradition/ :)
<2> !tell Saais about away
<21> tar -zxvf
<15> maher, abrotman THANKS!
<12> unfo: have you used vmware on linux before ?
<2> unfo: you could ask the debian-user mailing list why it's done that way
<13> quebee: tar the dash is optional.
<21> k
<13> Hatter: yes, but I never got the modules built :/
<16> _ericb: apt-cache search keyserver... :)
<2> unfo: but as i said .. you can customize debian's init stuff to go however you want
<13> oops s/slrn/gmane
<7> hey thanks a lot you guys have been very helpful
<19> maher it only reports onak which doesn't sounds good
<13> abrotman: it would be nice if it were pre-customized for me. :)
<2> unfo: right ...
<13> two|face: your problem is solved now? :)
<7> yep :)
<22> hi, all!
<7> I might have some vnc questions in a few though ;)
<23> i need help, i need to change my mirrors since my current ones don't work, how do i do this?
<22> how do I revert to XFree86 from X.org?
<12> unfo: you have to apt-get the kernel-headers for the kernel you are using
<11> nothingman, why? downgrading is not recommended
<2> eh
<2> he can purge xorg...
<13> Hatter: i am using m-a to do that for me this time. :)
<11> abrotman, sure, but how to install xfree86 after that?
<16> pmazer: run apt-setup or edit /etc/apt/sources.list
<12> unfo: i don't know what m-a is
<13> nothingman: can i ask why you want to downgrade?
<2> dli_: very carefully :)
<22> dli_: TVout works on my laptop with a broken screen that I'm using as a mythfrontend *only* with XFree86
<13> !tell Hatter about module-***istant
<22> it's a Radeon M7
<22> have not ever gotten it to work with x.org
<23> maher: thanks so much
<22> unless there's news you have for me regarding those particular needs :-P
