<0> mrwoody: "my file"?
<0> mrwoody: do you have gsfonts installed?
<1> kevix: locar: /var../locatedb: no such file
<2> jm_: nope... but that is not possible for me
<3> JdGordon: ok. I will make a non-locate command....
<2> jm_: what is gsfonts?
<2> jm_: I have this media-fonts/gnu-gs-fonts-std
<0> mrwoody: that's why it's failing - it's a package name, make sure yyou have the files mentioned in type-ghostscript.xml
<4> wtf
<4> why there are grave security bugs
<3> JdGordon: try this: find /lib/modules/|grep usb|grep net|grep "\.ko"
<4> in STABLE kernel, stable mysql server... I mean like.. wtf?
<5> hih0
<6> raf256[laptop]: I know. Subscribe to debian-security-announce. You'll be totally depressed.
<1> kevix: nuthing
<2> jm_: no, that is not the problem... I have this file : /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/n019003l.afm
<4> Dwonis: wtf! why they dont downgrade to previous version then until bug is fixed O_o ???
<3> JdGordon: what kernel do you have? 'uname -r'?
<6> raf256[laptop]: It seems to be a chronic problem with all computer software. What makes you think a previous version isn't vulnerable?
<0> mrwoody: in that case my command works just fine on Sarge
<1> kevix: 2.4.27-2-386
<4> Dwonis: version without a feauture that is b0rked
<2> jm_: well I am not sure why here I don't get anything at all
<2> jm_: and it is bad that it doesn't give me any error
<3> JdGordon: ohhhh. I dont use that. It may require a 2.6 kernel.....
<0> mrwoody: use exactly the same command I gave you (it wasn't giving me any errors either until I figured I was using wrong fontname)
<1> :( anything else i can try?
<2> jm_: can you tell me again what the command is
<4> where do I configure name (hostname) of this box?
<6> raf256[laptop]: /etc/hostname, and /etc/hosts, I think
<2> jm_: you are right...if I give a fake font name, it wouldn't give any error
<0> mrwoody: convert -font helvetica -pointsize 11 -fill yellow -draw 'text 50,50 "blabla"' infile outfile
<3> JdGordon: also some cards need the non-free ndiswrapper. look at this: http://czarism.com/easy-peasy-wireless-w-ubuntu-debian-linux
<1> kevix: im more worried that usb isnt working full stop.. ?
<2> jm_: no it doesn't work... now I have to understand where it looks for fonts
<0> I just realized I need \" because that's run from a perl script
<0> mrwoody: strace will reveal it
<3> JdGordon: do you have a usb memory key or mouse to test?
<2> jm_: where is \" ?
<0> mrwoody: I gave you a command with \" earlier, but don't worry about it, use the above command to test it
<1> been trying with a mem key.. doesnt connect... no x so usb mouse isnt helpful.. and ive plugged my mp3 player in and it thought it was connected, but i ocouldnt mount it,,?
<2> jm_: well the above command doesn't work
<3> JdGordon: when did usb work last?
<0> mrwoody: it does work
<1> kevix: before reinstall...
<3> JdGordon: before reinstalling what?
<1> debian
<3> JdGordon: what version? testing?
<2> jm_: well not here! ;-)
<1> from the netboot cd, with no extra packages yet
<1> no, stable..
<3> JdGordon: do you have any live cd to test usb?
<7> any idea why my memcached server refuses to store more than ~1mb of data even though I start it with a large -m?
<1> no, coz it cant boot from anything but hdd...
<8> am i wrong in thinking that there is no webdav module for apache2 in the repos?
<0> mrwoody: strace it to see if it can find the font, and is your pic big enough to handle textpos 50,50? interesting to note that when running convert on RH, it complains fonts are not there, looks like Debian's version differs a bit and doesn't complain (although the version there is 5.8 as opposed to 6.0)
<2> jm_: my pic is very big... I was thinking that was a problem
<1> kevix: i installed it by putting the hdd in my desktop and moving he hdd back into the lappy when it first wants to reboot which worked last time
<2> jm_: it is a gentoo box, not RH
<3> JdGordon: its a laptop? ok. what model!
<0> mrwoody: well then better ask in #gentoo, it definitely works in Debian
<1> toshiba portege 3110ct
<2> jm_: I tried that as well! ;-)
<1> 3010ct
<9> \o/
<10> JdGordon: oh i love that laptop (=
<2> jm_: I don't see any clear error with strace
<0> mrwoody: just strace -e open and see if it can open the fonts
<2> jm_: sorry I can see one stat("helvetica", 0x7ffffff20920) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
<9> debian+irssi+screen+mplayer+xine=looooooooooooove
<11> firefox in sid is rather slow on somepages, like lifehack, while firefox downloaded from mozilla just works fine with same profiles, any suggestions?
<9> compile your own :P
<3> JdGordon: google. found this: http://www.edginet.org/techie/linux/laptop.html
<11> nekostar, :)
<6> mrwoody: Just "helvetica"? That looks wrong.
<2> Dwonis: what do you mean?
<2> Dwonis: I can past more
<6> mrwoody: Well, that would indicate that it's trying to look for a file in the current directory called "helvetica", which probably isn't what you want.
<2> Dwonis: that is true.. let me check again
<1> kevix: thanx for the help.. going for dinner
<3> JdGordon < /dev/food
<10> JdGordon: is this your laptop? http://gallery.sshonly.sytes.net/linux/framebuffer.funs/bootsplash/img_0005.jpg
<2> Dwonis: well that is what it says... shall I change somethign
<6> mrwoody: hmm. oh nevermind, it does that on my system too, and it seems to work. I guess it looks for the font in the current directory first.
<3> deadcat: I tried to get xorg 7.0 from experimenal working. have you tried it?
<2> Dwonis: I see
<2> Dwonis: so does it work there?
<6> yup
<10> kevix: i am gonna wait til it gets to sid. since theres no xgl or compiz to play with anyway
<6> convert -font helvetica -pointsize 11 -fill yellow -draw 'text 50,50 "blabla"' niagara.jpg foo.png
<6> mrwoody: ^ that works
<10> kevix: just playing with icon themes and gtk2 themes the p*** 2 days (=
<6> mrwoody: Version: ImageMagick 6.2.4 10/06/05 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
<2> Dwonis: ok... weird... I am the only unlucky one
<6> mrwoody: package Version: 6:6.2.4.5-0.2
<0> mrwoody: switch to Debian
<2> jm_: sure! ;-) I just switched from Debian to gentoo
<6> mrwoody: It also displays an error if you pick a random font: "convert: unable to read font `helveca'."
<6> mrwoody: That'll teach ya!
<0> mrwoody: haha
<2> Dwonis: :-
<6> once you use Debian you can never go back. muhahahaha!
<2> :-)
<0> ahh so they have improved that in newer version then, cool
<2> not really... have you tried gentoo?
<2> believe me, I have used debian for 10 years
<2> and I loved it
<12> !gentoosmite mrwoody
<2> but gentoo is much better now
<2> that is the usual bs that people try without even trying it by itself
<6> mrwoody: Honestly, Debian does what I need with a minimal amount of work on my part. Why would I switch?
<2> Dwonis: well I didn't say that you should switch
<2> but anyway gentoo requires MUCH LESS maintainance
<10> mrwoody: obviously you have a pretty fast machine (=
<3> Dwonis: besides there are ways to custom compile debian pacakges from source.
<6> kevix: precisely
<13> hey
<14> streuner: LOL
<2> deadcat: no... Athlon 1.2 GHz
<13> guys
<13> i need some help on debian
<10> mrwoody: thats pretty fast
<3> Dwonis: there is even debian-from-scratch project!
<2> kevix: sure... but that is not the same as what gentoo does
<12> mrwoody: have you ever compiled a kernel on a WinChip 233 Mhz?
<13> anybody is free?
<2> deadcat: yes, compared to my commodore 64
<10> fizz: try the usb
<6> mrwoody: Pentium III (Coppermine), cpu MHz : 730.986
<3> mrwoody: correct. ours is easier x-)
<10> mrwoody: compare to my 800mhz
<2> :-)
<2> it looks like everyone woke up
<2> anyway I really didn't want to start this
<2> sorry
<3> fizz: when you ask a question....
<6> mrwoody: I have a partial Debian *mirror* because I don't like to wait for packages to download. I want my stuff installed NOW
<2> Debian was great
<13> anybody is free to help?
<3> Dwonis: you mirror incoming.debian.org ?
<2> Dwonis: believe me ... all the dpkg --configure requires more time than emerge xyz
<6> !ask
<15> If you have a question, just ask! For Example: "I have a problem with ___; I'm running Debian version ___. when I try to do ___ I get the following output ___. I expected it to do ___." Don't ask if you can ask, or if anyone uses it, or pick one person to ask (ask the whole channel!). We're all volunteers; make it easy for us to help you. If you don't get an answer, ask later or ask debian-user@lists.debian.org
<10> fizz: use the freakin usb slot
<0> mrwoody: actually it doesn't, you hardly ever need to use dpkg --configure
<6> mrwoody: dpkg --configure? Who ever runs that?
<2> Dwonis: anyway what command were you using with convert?
<13> sorry guys...newbie
<2> jm_: sure... but it is the default after you apt-get something
<10> fizz: me too. whats your point?
