Comments:
<0> jim__, as mgoetze said; dpkg-reconfigure debconf and select the non-interactive one
<1> jim__: also, check out debootstrap and fai, one or the other might be relevant to whatever it is you're doing
<0> jim__, and use -y
<2> Sonny, pdflatex :)
<3> eulex: doesn't that already ***ume I have the package on the system, and know all the dependancies?
<0> yes, it ***umes that you do have debconf.
<4> Hi all - trying to upgrade from Sarge to Etch using dist-upgrade: conflict between knetworkconf and gnome-system-tools - can't fix with dpkg, any ideas? Tx
<3> mgoetze: I don't know about fai, but debootstrap does not resolve dependencies automatically (you can include stuff, but it doesn't guarantee that all dependencies)
<3> eulex: I am using -y already, that only stops the prompt telling me what is going to be installed.
<5> jim__: It's been a while since I did anything with building debian packages, but I always used pbuilder and IIRC it always setup a chroot without asking me questions. I don't recall if it would get dependencies (my guess is yes).
<6> thanks
<5> you can tell it to install extra packages when you build the base.tgz
<3> tyranix: I am looking at pbuilder now. Thanks for mentioning it.
<3> mgoetze: I am also looking at fai, thanks for mentioning it.
<1> jim__: np
<7> hi, how can i lower cached memory usage? i've nearly 400mb of ram used for caching
<8> _Brandon_: there's nothing wrong with cached files
<1> _Brandon_: you don't want to do that. forget about it.
<7> yes but it's half of total ram
<8> _Brandon_: just ignore it, it makes your system faster
<2> _Brandon_, "free ram is bad ram"
<7> so only 35mb free ram is good? :D
<2> _Brandon_, yeah, as long it's not all apps that use but rather the cache
<9> cached ram == good
<5> _Brandon_: Run 'free -m' and look at the line with -/+ buffer. That's your RAM used without buffering. Buffered is good (no use in having free RAM just sitting there). Or look at vmstat output and see if you're swapping pages.
<8> Shadowcat: you mean cached disk I ***ume
<7> ok thanks
<9> bbrazil: ya
<8> Shadowcat: althoguh cached ram is also good
<2> bbrazil, how comes=
<10> hi, i have a package moodle that i cannot uninstall. how can i see the error?
<8> SirGeorge: cached ram is the on-chip caches (on modern CPUs)
<2> bbrazil, sure, i thought you meant inside the os
<8> SirGeorge: thats also good, but I don't think too many people have more than 4GB on x86 systems anmd use PAE
<2> bbrazil, i see
<8> mdupont: have you tried apt-get remove moodle ?
<11> anyone in here using superkaramba succesfully under debian?
<2> mdupont, how comes you know you can't install when you can't see an error? or do you mean aptitudes log files and such?
<6> xpdf vs evince?
<5> evince's PDF rendering is based on xpdf. And evince has a bunch of GNOME dependencies...
<12> my /var/log auth.logs are getting obscenely filled with attempts to break in messages, do I really need to keep them?
<12> its like floding grafitti
<13> can someone help me with X11? The computer was restarted and now X doesn't start up "undefined symbol: MGAGetBOARDHANDLESize"
<13> I am running standard xorg mga drivers
<12> Bac9 what linux distro are you using?
<8> Azar: if you get rid of them, how will you know there has been a breakin?
<13> Azar: debian
<2> Azar, better do something against the breakins. otherwise you need logrotate keep less files
<12> bbrazil: I mean those I already viewed
<8> Azar: tweak logrotate
<12> there are tons of trivial illegal user xxxxx and such
<8> Azar: yeah, that happens. I rotate daily and keep for 28 days (data retention policy)
<9> Azar: so block the hosts that are trying to break in
<12> hmmm what is logrotate?
<8> Azar: its automatically setup for you, it should be keeping 6 weeks worth of logs iirc
<12> Shadowcat: they are only zombie, most of them from china..
<12> bbrazil: ah cool because they get huge
<2> Shadowcat, http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/index.html does that automagically
<8> Azar: you should have a auth.log.1, 2.gz etc.
<12> bbrazil: yes
<12> I thought they gonna add up and never go away
<8> Azar: then its working - looks like 4 weeks worth in fact
<14> I have been having a problem with my package for transfig for a while. It is not fully installed. I am not able to get it uninstalled so that I may re-install it. Any suggestions? My distro is Debian sarge.
<12> man, this is so annoying, and fail2ban does not work ok in Sarge
<15> What is a good cli music player that can player ogg files? and maybe mp3
<8> Azar: unless you're low on diskspace, I wouldn't worry about log sizes
<15> Something like irssi, except for music and not irc
<12> KerPlunk: xmms
<5> KerPlunk: mocp!
<15> thanks tyranix
<16> mplayer
<5> KerPlunk: It's a full replacement for xmms. :) I switched and never looked back.
<12> bbrazil: ah no... I have 100GB and I only maybe use 20GB
<15> tyranix: mocp shows nothing from apt-cache search mocp
<5> KerPlunk: It supports server mode too so you can just hit 'q' and it background itself. You can kill X etc and it will still play (you can of course still control it through the socket).
<8> Azar: its not really a problem then - unless you're manually reading the logs
<5> KerPlunk: Oh sorry, it's called 'moc'
<12> bbrazil: yeah I manually read them sigh
<5> KerPlunk: It's renamed to 'mocp' in debian because there's a Qt program called 'moc' already.
<13> can someone help me with X11? The computer was restarted and now X doesn't start up "undefined symbol: MGAGetBOARDHANDLESize". I am running standard xorg drivers on etch
<8> Azar: I have a script that'll process them and look for breakins if you're interested
<17> anything new in the debian world the past few months?
<12> bbrazil: sure , thanks :)
<8> Azar: http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~bbrazil/code/brmon/ <-- ssh_brute_finder you'll have to alter ssh so it's loslevel is verbose
<18> hello
<5> Azar: I would enable public keys only, disable logins from IPs you're not expecting (using IPtables), and forget about the connect attempts. Does it really matter when you've shut them out with the firewall?
<8> Azar: that works on an entire log file
<2> Azar, http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/index.html does something similar (no offense, bbrazil)
<18> today I was using xsane ith my HP 5300c scanner and it was just woking fine, when, suddenly, it stoped working right
<18> when I try to scan it scans... nothing, the scanners lamp dosen't move
<12> hey thanks I will try them both, however, I wonder if I really need ssh altogether, I am tempted to remove it
<18> and I touched nothing or modified anything
<8> SirGeorge: mine is only detection, and I have issues with things like denyhosts as they can be used for DOS attacks
<2> bbrazil, ok, thats right
<15> If I have a huge list(300 lines) of links to ogg files on the web, ie http://google.com/file.ogg, and each link is on a seperate line..how can I wget all those links if they are in a text file all on seperate liens? cat list|xargs wget or something...is that right?
<12> the only good thing is I can see immediately when someone attempts to connect or scans but I cannot do nothing about but only unplug the connection
<8> Azar: that's probably the best solution, altough public-key only appears to be safe at the moment
<18> can anyone help me solve this problem?
<18> in windows the scaner woks right
<19> night and thanks
<20> can anyone point me to a tool for graphical configuration of lvm2 via ssh -X adress -l root connection? Something i like a have seen on RHEL 4 to configure my vault?
<8> SirGeorge: there's also the issue that denyhosts doesn't support solaris+ipf ;)
<2> KerPlunk, wget -i list does the same
<21> how can i mount /dev/sdb1 with write permission ?
<15> thanks SirGeorge good to know
<15> y***ine: What file system is on /dev/sdb1?
<21> KerPlunk, SFS
<2> bbrazil, you can't have everything (:
<15> !tell SirGeorge about vfatrw
<8> SirGeorge: I can try though
<15> SirGeorge: I guess like that, but instead of vfat sfs?
<12> hmm whatever is gnupg? we got upgrades for it today
<22> hi all, how do I force a downgrade of certain packages after removing unstable from sources.list ?
<22> I had upgraded them to the unstable versions
<8> Azar: open source PGP
<12> ah :) thanks
<18> and purging sane and xsane and reinstallign them don't solve the problem
<21> KerPlunk, any idea ?
<8> dannythm: do you have whatever modules loaded? have you checked dmesg?
<23> !downgrade
<24> i heard downgrade is not possible with apt-get currently. No future support is anticipated. Some programs change the binary format of their files in a way that cannot be rolled back later.
<20> anyone know of a grahpical front for lvm2 in Debian?
<18> bbrazil: I think yes, because it was working fine until, suddenly, stopped working right with no reason at all...
<12> .. to sum it up: "beware of what you wish... you might get it"
<18> bbrazil: cold it be an USB port prolem?
<21> KerPlunk, i made a mistake ist no more SFS but its : /dev/sdb1 63 8413183 4206560+ 83 Linux
<8> dannythm: lsusb - does it show the device?
<13> can someone help me with X11? The computer was restarted and now X doesn't start up "undefined symbol: MGAGetBOARDHANDLESize". I am running standard xorg drivers on etch
<22> thx
<18> bbrazil: yes, well i changed the port the scaner was conected and it did the same, so is no USB problem...
<20> Bac9, dpkg-reconfigure xfree86
<8> dannythm: does it show in lsusb?
<18> bbrazil: yes
<2> KerPlunk, don't know 'bout SFS
<12> Bac9: just not to let you alone.... I am not running xorg or etch, going good with sarge/xfree.. so dunno what is going with your system
<13> dutchfish: reconfigure what? I've been running the same config files since X11
<8> dannythm: okay, when you plug it in does dmesg indicate that its picked up by some driver?
<2> KerPlunk, Self-Certifying File System, some kind of secure NFS
<12> Bac9: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and hope
<25> sm, you can explicity re-install the .deb files that you want using dpkg -i
<22> stumbly: thx, that's looking like my only option
<5> Bac9: Umm tried googling? http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/01/msg03494.html
<12> if I would have problems with xorg and not know what to do, I would go back to xfree86 in a blink
<2> y***ine, SFS is as network filesystem, it can't be the fs of /dev/sdb1
<14> How does a person uninstall a package that is not fully installed?
<26> How can i set up pgsql to only let the owner access the database?
<2> Red_Cloud, --purge ?
<2> Red_Cloud, --force-all (possibly) ?
<20> Red_Cloud, dpkg --purge package
<18> bbrazil: a USB port gives me a message: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 4
<18> usb 1-1: control timeout on ep0in
