Comments:

<0> Hm. Maybe if I do a make-kpkg clean, then rebuild?
<1> Crell: --append-to-version if you remake
<2> Crell: you could use dpkg-deb -c to see if the file is in the package you installed
<0> Will take a while, though. It's just a PII/400. :-)
<3> very interesting, readable take on patent war protection/mono on slashdot http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/06/03/27/1826219.shtml - is what that guy saying basically correct? we should be safe from patent attacks now?
<0> Dwonis: Well, that listed a crapload of files ls-style.
<3> whoops, make that url: http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=181434&threshold=1&commentsort=0&mode=thread&cid=15005747
<2> Crell: | less ?
<4> Hey guys -- what is 384kbps in kbytes?
<5> ***yKen: divide by 8
<3> peterS : or 9 if error correction is there? dunno, just asking.
<0> What are we looking for, Dwonis?
<2> Crell: via-rhine?
<5> peej: well, yeah, kbit/s normally implies a raw bandwidth which you will not actually see when shoving bytes around. the amount of overhead depends on the line protocol
<0> 3 vias, but no via-rhine.
<0> I'm going to do a full clean and rebuild.



<2> Crell: have fun :)
<0> See you in a few hours. :-)
<6> I can not install samba for etch, amd 64: The following packages have unmet dependencies: samba: Depends: libcupsys2 (>= 1.1.23-1) but it is not installable ... am I doing something wrong or should I file a bug report?
<7> peterS: did a full reset on the computer, nothing in the logs extept that it is still saying its giving the wrong IP?
<1> roby: broken depends, might as well file a bug if no one has.
<5> nrdb: wish I had a clue what to try next
<7> peterS: same here
<5> nrdb: if you can, try commenting out the subnet declaration entirely, so that *only* the compaq laptop is supposed to get an IP
<5> nrdb: I say "if you can" because you may have a full network relying on your dhcp server being operational
<5> nrdb: which brings me to the question of whether you are sure there is only *one* DHCP server on your subnet.......
<6> liable: thanks
<8> nrdb symptoms again? no dhcp to a certain host?
<2> Note: liable isn't
<7> peterS: yes there is only one, I will try comenting out the section temperary.
<5> nrdb: right, just to see what it will do (I didn't mean that as a permanent solution)
<7> shogunx: trying to change the IP from being dynamic 192.168.0.x to static 192.168.3.1
<1> Dwonis: huh?
<2> liable: you're never yourself
<1> Dwonis: this is irc after all!
<8> and you want a dhcp lease to do this?
<8> what happens when you watch the traffic with a packet sniffer?
<9> I set up my Debian installation on two partions: / & /home. I also installed Windows XP on a partition. The fourth partition I have is a swap area for linux. The Windows Partition is ntfs and I want to have some FAT32 area for transfer between OS's. The hard drive maxes out at 4 partitions. Can I copy all the data from my /home partition and place it on my / partition and still have it work?
<7> peterS: do you know the comment character
<8> wait. nrdb: do you have an interface for 192.168.3.0/24 on the dhcp server?
<10> !popcon
<11> extra, extra, read all about it, popcon is the Debian Popularity contest. See results at http://popcon.debian.org/ or install popularity-contest to participate. do the dpkg-reconfigure -plow popularity-contest right after you answered all debconf stuff
<5> nrdb: I use #
<1> powergoal: sure, dont forget to edit fstab
<5> shogunx: see http://pastebin.com/626369
<5> shogunx: that's what he has on the server
<1> powergoal: why not make logical partitions?
<9> liable: what is fstab, and where do I find it?
<0> powergoal: /etc/fstab
<2> powergoal: don't forget to use the "-a" option for cp
<0> It's the file that defines what partitions get mounted to where in the file system. "File system table".
<2> powergoal: also, if you want more than 4 partitions, you can create an "extended partition", and put multiple "logical partitions" inside it
<7> shogunx: its just a IP address I don't think I need a particular interface for it.
<2> Hamled: "Erp" ?
<7> peterS: the '#' doesn't seem to be working
<12> means something went wrong
<5> nrdb: hmmm I wonder if you're editing the wrong file then
<8> if you do not have an interface (real: eth0 or virtual eth0:1 ) for the 192.168.3.0/24 network that the laptop is trying to connect to, then you will not make a connection.
<9> liable: so if I copy all the data from /home and then edit out the /home partition from fstab, I can delete the partition and write in some FAT32 space where it was without any risk?
<5> nrdb: the 'dhcp3-server' package uses /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf, but debian also ships ISC DHCP v2
<2> powergoal: if you do it *properly* it should work fine.
<2> powergoal: if you mess something up, then obviously it could be bad
<9> its that *properly* that concerns me...
<8> change 192.168.3.1 in that instance to 192.168.0.23 or so, and see if it works
<1> powergoal: yes. you will need to umount it from /home then remount on another mount point, then copy it to /home on the / partition
<9> why would I need to unmount first?
<1> cause you cant copy from /home to /home?
<9> this is true.
<9> haha
<9> well, here goes...
<9> Thanks for your help!
<7> peterS: shogunx: I am giving up I will just set without DHCP
<13> so i was coding in C++ the otherday an... =)
<2> boo!
<5> nrdb: yeah that's the other way. I wonder what's up with your config though



<5> nrdb: which of dhcp-server and dhcp3-server are you using? 'dpkg -l' will know
<2> of course, I shouldn't complaing about C++... My income consists mostly of writing PHP code... *shudder*
<7> peterS: so do i, the init file says its using /etc/dhcpd.conf
<13> Dwonis : channel went into a riot a few hours ago over that... it was a mess
<2> !c++
<5> nrdb: right, the 'dhcp' package does indeed use /etc/dhcpd.conf. 'dhcp3-server' is what I use, that uses /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
<9> liable: I tried to umount /home but it hits back with device is busy. I have closed all xterms running in user modes and closed all programs. any ideas?
<2> powergoal: you probably have to kill X altogether
<9> liable: I take that back, xterm is running as a user, how do fix that?
<1> powergoal: edit fstab first, kill x, mount -a and try
<2> powergoal: the best thing to do would be to enter single-user mode: "shutdown now"
<1> as root
<9> ok
<2> I think... "shutdown now" enters single-user mode, right?
<5> nrdb: oh the other thing - if you're testing by doing 'ipconfig /renew' or something (that's the windows command), dhcpd might be allowing the machine to renew its IP without actually checking the subnet. as opposed to getting a brand new lease.
<1> no, it .. shuts down..
<2> liable: I thought that was shutdown -h now
<9> what if I change fstab to mount /home to a different location and then copy it over
<1> Dwonis: actually, you may be right and i cant be arsed reading man page
<7> peterS: I was using "sudo if{up/down} eth0" and I tried a reset once.
<2> powergoal: that sounds reasonable
<5> nrdb: ah so the laptop is debian too. hmmm that should've worked
<2> powergoal: just make sure what you *think* happened *actually* happened, at various places
<1> powergoal: if you just remove the /home line, it should make /home on /
<7> peterS: don't I know it. :(
<2> ah... laptops... love 'em
<5> oh well, I guess I'll move on to trying to fix this stupid local security hole in my rather popular package
<5> something I probably should have been working harder on in the past few hours than I have
<9> ok
<2> peterS: which package?
<8> nrdb: does the dhcp server have a route to 192.168.3.0/24?
<5> Dwonis: well the actual affected binary package may not be too popular, it's the apache2 subversion server module
<5> Dwonis: the source package is subversion
<2> sigh. svnserve isn't affected, is it?
<5> nope
<5> just libapache2-svn. http://bugs.debian.org/359234
<5> it's my own fault, it was a bug I've known about for a long time but was just too lazy to fix
<7> shogunx: I am going to be putting both 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.3.1 on eth0
<5> then suddenly because of other factors it is now a security problem
<2> has the DSA gone out for that?
<5> Dwonis: no, it only affects unstable
<5> not sarge and not even testing
<8> nrdb but they are not so now?
<2> ah, right... wow, so it's even worse than I thought
<5> I don't think they usually bother with DSAs only for unstable
<5> also, I have to fix the bug before it would be possible to issue one (:
<2> I'm subscribed to debian-security-announce, and it's really quite depressing
<2> not that Debian's any worse than anybody else
<7> shogunx: still trying to change the ip of one computer
<5> Supaplex: well, we know where to tell them to shove it when they do (:
<14> agreed!
<5> Dwonis: I think it only affects 1.3.0-4 so if you hadn't upgraded in the past few days you're fine
<5> I'm not sure though, it might affect 1.3.0-3 too
<14> dpkg: be chicken little
<11> security bugs in unstable oh my! the sky IS falling! HELP!
<1> hehe, havent seen that one :)
<9> well, when I tried to mount /home in a new location, it wouldnt take, it kept it as /home anyway. I am now making a backup of /home as /.home
<5> also, it's local, not remote. the attacker has to have an account, be able to write to /tmp, and you have to restart apache2 *after* system boot in order to be affected
<14> I just added it. =)
<2> what is RPATH, anyway?
<5> Dwonis: it's a hard-coded list of directories that a binary or library directs the runtime system to check for dependent libraries
<9> when I boot up next time, is there a way to keep it in the command prompt mode instead of going into the loader screen?
<8> nrdb: ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.1 up
<5> Dwonis: on Debian they are generally considered unnecessary and occasionally harmful. I was hoping this one would be harmless because it's hard to fix
<1> powergoal: remove your dm for now. did you actually get to umount /home
<5> Dwonis: preferred over RPATH is /etc/ld.so.conf and the hard-coded list already contained in /lib/ld-linux.so.2
<2> peterS: so, it's an ld.so thing?
<5> yes
<9> I couldnt unmount /home
<2> peterS: hmm.. I thought it was LD_LIBRARY_PATH
<9> liable: what do you mean "remove your dm"?
