<0> itguy: he meant that it is your mouse pointer
<1> itguy: it's like the |\ arrow in windows
<0> navaburo: good idea
<2> Could someone please check if they can access www.linuxprinting.org?
<3> how do I find out the size of a director?
<4> I have just recompiled my kernel but still want to trim up the services that init starts. Aside from deleting entries in /etc/init.d and then running that script to clean up the rc* directories, is there a safer and more debian-specific way to do this? One that is reversible?
<0> navaburo: once you need newer software , '/msg dpkg backports'
<5> valdyn: one last thing. how do i make sure i am getting the sarge backports (to ensure t
<5> ah
<5> ok
<5> you took the words out of my mouth/fingers
<6> choser: remove the package..
<1> Keefe: loads a bit slow, but it's there
<1> wait, that was an attempted DDOS
<7> welcome, X_al
<2> \amethyst thanks
<8> :)
<9> keefe: it is just loading really slow but it works
<7> now what seems to be the problem
<5> valdyn: thanks for the tips. will install sarge tomarrow most likely. goodnight (or morning here in jersey)
<10> i need to install a package for when i type power button, computer go to down?
<1> and we're only making it worse :)
<4> Makes sense actually. But some things, like apache load up, but I dont use it often really.
<0> Nopalin: apt-get install acpid
<8> i need help!
<8> :)
<7> Yes, I am aware of that.
<8> trying to articulate
<7> You said you were stuck... where are you stuck?
<6> choser: dpkg-reconfigure apache
<8> :)
<8> ok i have a debian iso
<8> i dloaded
<11> Hi, trying to upgrade my system but there is a dependency problem cause the new package will overwrite a file of a already installed package so apt quits. -f option doesn't solve the problem - any other ways to solve the problem? complete log at http://pastebin.com/571527
<7> I want to dpkg-reconfigure my cable box and add showtime and cinemax
<6> !enter
<12> The enter key or carriage return key is not a substitute for punctuation. Use a period '.', comma ',', colon ':', semi-colon ';' emdash '---', or ellipsis '...' instead. Please don't just hit enter after every three words: it's really annoying, because it scrolls everyone's screens, and makes it harder to help you out (since we have to piece together what you're saying).
<7> X_al: Is that it?
<1> mkl1525: if you know what's up with the conflicting file, you can dpkg-divert one of them away
<8> woah this channel is madness
<7> yes it is
<0> mkl1525: you're using sid? why?
<7> Which is why I fit in so well.
<8> :)
<7> so did you burn your iso?
<8> where was i...
<8> yes
<7> did you boot from it?
<8> no
<10> valdyn: thanks, and, some thing else, if want to add to my panel, a cpu frequency monitor.. what package i need?
<4> liable: Thank you. You have answered my question. Basically, stick with the apt* and dpkg* tools with debian.
<7> ah, now we're getting somewhere (or we're stuck somewhere, or whatever)
<0> mkl1525: in this case 'dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archivews/libavahi-compat-libdnssd1_0.6.6-1_i386.deb' might fix this
<8> i want to remove windows too
<7> X_al: You are having issues booting from the CD?
<8> yes
<6> choser: most of the time yes, you can use a tool to do the job.
<7> does the debian cd boot screen, with the giant logo, come up?
<11> \amethyst, thanks will have a look
<8> er no
<7> hrm
<7> is your computer even capable of booting from a cd?
<6> then the cd was fuxored..
<11> valdyn, it's my test box - will try your suggestion, thanks
<0> Nopalin: gnome-cpufreq-applet?
<7> not necessarily
<8> bloody thing just wants to oload windows
<8> yes it is capable
<7> his bios might be set to check IDE0 first
<7> Mine keeps resetting to that, for some godawful reason
<1> Nopalin: aptitude search '~Dlibpanel-applet*~dfrequency'
<7> X_al: can you get into your BIOS setup screen?
<8> i dont think the cdr is being read
<8> yes
<7> go into it and look around for a setting like 'Boot device order' or 'Boot device priority' or something like that
<8> by the way thanks
<8> ok
<10> \amethyst: the ~ character is a commodin? (like *)
<8> device options
<7> that could be it
<8> boot options
<1> Nopalin: ~ and a letter is a search field
<1> Nopalin: * is a wildcard
<7> that could be even more it
<13> .
<7> X_al: look in boot options
<8> in
<8> yes
<7> do you see anything that looks like it would control whether it boots from cd or hdd first?
<1> Nopalin: it finds packages that ~Depend on any version of libpanel-applet, whose ~descriptions contain "frequency"
<8> yeah its set to boot from Multibay [which is the CDROM]
<10> \amethyst: ahh , i can use that in apt-cache?
<14> guys i just downloaded aircrak 2.41 where should i un gz it
<8> so the boot order has been set - i did that already
<6> aircrack is in the repos..
<7> so the boot order is set to Multibay first?
<8> yes
<13> two questions: 1: how do I install the nvidia driver for debian and 2: how do I keep the resolv.conf from being rewritten every time I reboot?
<7> so it was already like that, and it still won't boot from your CD?
<8> indeed
<1> Nopalin: I think it's aptitude-specific :(
<7> k54: I know the answer to the latter question (or at least, where to find the answer)
<13> where's that, Stevie?
<7> k54: There's something you do in your dhcp.conf to keep dhclient from rewriting your resolv.conf
<7> some sort of hook script override
<10> \amethyst i think so
<1> Nopalin: no reason not to use aptitude :)
<13> Stevie: the entire dhclient.conf is commented out
<8> Stevie: the debian cdr is a rar file and i think thats the prob
<7> k54: I know. It's a bitch to make it work right
<7> This solution is for netbsd, but the only difference for Debian would be the directory name
<7> http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/dhcp.html#keep-resolv-conf
<1> heh
<10> \amethyst: jeje, i know, but i usually use apt-cache, apt-get, apt-*
<7> X_al: no, the debian iso is an *ISO*. WinRAR just happens to open it
<7> did you burn it as an ISO, or did you do what my brother did and actually burn a cd with one file on it, that file being the iso
<8> yeah - i better reinstall winRAR
<7> reinstalling winrar won't help :)
<8> ok
<14> !info aircrack
<12> aircrack: (wireless WEP/WPA cracker), section net, is extra. Version: 2.3-3 (sid), Packaged size: 138 kB, Installed size: 332 kB
<8> so if i unpack the contents and reburn
<15> Stevie that is curious, back in the days I used Woody I would use dhcp with a small d-link router .. I never had problems with dns ..
<1> Nopalin: well, in sid I see gnome-applets and emifreq-applet
<8> might work
<7> X_al: NO.
<8> yikes!
<16> itguy: dammit. stop trying to break into people's wireless network.. ****! grow up dammit
<7> X_al: That file is a raw CD image. If you "unpack" it you lose all the stuff that makes it work.
<7> X_al: What you need is, is a program that will just burn a raw cd image
<13> found it
<7> k54: I remember dealing with that one before, too
<14> deadcat: b4 u start insul people know what there intenion damit
<16> no
<17> Every debian system I have (4 systems) has problems keeping the correct time. What's the fix for this??
<16> Jazbo: ntpdate
<10> \amethyst: hey, ubuntu doesn't support debian repositories, right?
<18> Jazbo contemplate the non-linear nature of time;)
<13> is there any way to test this script without rebooting? (dhclient-script)
<8> This is the debian-31r1a-i386-netinst - ISO Image file
<1> no clue, ask #ubuntu
<17> ntpdate is installed
<7> then run it, Jazbo :)
<16> Jazbo: then use it
<7> k54: You can kill dhclient and restart it
<17> arg.......
<7> I particularly like shogunx's solution.
<8> The CDR contains debian-31r1a-i386-netinst - ISO Image file
<18> Stevie thank you
<17> I'm all for being able to configure stuff but having to go through all this just to get the correct time on my system is........
