<0> well, ask in #debian or wait till someone here who knows debian can help.. I'm afraid the 5pm whistle just blew so it's time for me to go drink beer :) you might also google a bit
<0> best of luck
<0> have a great weekend all..
<1> How can I determine latency to an IP/port?
<1> I'm trying to figure out the latency to a server, but ICMP echo requests are blocked somewhere along the way.
<2> Feiver: hehe, thanks
<3> gunoo: /usr/sbin/sendmail is probably a link. do: ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail ; that might tell you which mta is installed.
<3> gunoo: my guess is exim, the default for deb (sarge anyways..)
<4> How do I configure cups on client 1 to print to a printer on server 2 using the proper PPD file ?
<5> my internet in linux is slow, slow opening pages only, downloading is fast. anyone knows what is the problem ?
<2> can someone helop me with that
<2> iptables -L
<2> modprobe: Can't locate module ip_tables
<2> iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
<2> Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.



<2> ?
<6> monteiro in all browsers ?
<6> somebody say anything plz
<7> monteiro: my first idea is "DNS"
<5> genetix : yes, all browsers
<5> TheBonsai: i've the same dns in xp and it works great :(
<6> do a test ping in linux and xp, and a traceroute
<7> monteiro: i didn't say "DNS server". i said "DNS" to refer to "any problems related to DNS". start by pinging a name on the internet, if it takes "long" (not the ping, but the time between you pressing enter and the first ping) then DNS might be the issue
<5> i made a dnslookup in a webpage 3 times, the third one has long 30 seconds :(
<8> ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2/24 up will gine you netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ?
<6> maybe he is on a dhcp isp
<6> or on a dial-up
<9> does anyone know how to interpret this from dmesg on my amd64 processor in 2.6.16-rc1?
<9> time.c: Lost 15 timer tick(s)! rip default_idle+0x36/0x80)
<9> APIC error on CPU0: 04(40)
<10> more hardware related than linux, but for some reason my TV out on my mobo does strange things. It's all blurry this morning, although last night it looked just fine. Nothing's changed hardware wise, hell the machine hasn't been touched. What could do that?
<10> I'm not using a monitor, only a TV for this box, so it's kind of important
<11> nudenurd: dont know, blurry fonts or colors?
<10> happens at a BIOS level too
<11> nudenurd: ok, guess its either the tv or the video card then
<10> I've put a ferrite loop on the cable (only a standard RCA connector, not S-Video)
<10> hmmm
<11> nudenurd: video card have any kind of self test?
<10> TV works fine on units (DVD players, media centres, xbox)
<10> don't think so
<10> ASUS A8N VM
<11> nudenurd: video card on motherboard?
<10> mobo
<10> it's got built in tv out (that's why I bought it)
<11> nudenurd: ok, google TV ASUS A8N VM linux ?
<10> looking
<10> not sure how linux-related it is though, because it happens even before it boots
<11> nudenurd: as root: lspci to get your VGA cards make/model,maybe google for that too
<10> got a graphic on the BIOS, that looks fine, but the text's hard to read. when in the bios, it's a blue background - looks horrible, can barely read anything at all
<10> ok
<11> nudenurd: yep, prolly not a linux problem
<10> 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a2)
<11> nudenurd: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131571
<11> nudenurd: spec's for your board and price are a good deal imho
<11> nudenurd: you get alsa working ok with that new mobo?
<10> haven't got that far yet, I'm still trying to get ACPI working without freezing the machine all the time
<12> hello anyone
<10> there's no native support for ACPI - http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml
<12> how do i play avi file in fedora pls?
<13> mplayer
<11> nudenurd: http://quaggaspace.org/a8nvm/ video, acpi and sound info here, good site
<10> very nice...
<12> thx
<10> thanks :D
<10> any way to check my bios version without rebooting?
<11> nudenurd: asus home page/your mobo spec sheet may have bios update info
<10> ok
<14> does anyone know how do issue sed delete commands from a file?
<14> I've tried /^$/d to delete blank lines, but it doesn't work and errors out!
<15> b_9 : well, what's the error?
<14> sed: file sed_inv line 220: extra characters after command
<15> hmm, dunno. too tired. it's friday.
<14> I can on the other hand, do the delete command on the command line then pipe that output to the command
<14> it's wierd, everything I've googled so far says to do it that way I'm doing it!
<14> ananke where would you suggest I go for help?
<11> b_9: sed '/^$/d' filename



<6> maybe #bash ?
<10> oh for fscks sake, I'm trying to make a boot disk but I need DOS. Where the hell do I get it
<10> I've wasted half an hour trying to find it already
<10> for flashing my BIOS so I can get ACPI working in linux
<13> get drdos
<16> or FreeDOS
<16> both are free
<13> that too
<10> all I can find are img files
<10> I need the actual files
<16> those are disk images, write them to a disk
<10> I don't have a floppy drive
<16> mount them as loop if you must get the actual files
<13> heheh
<10> ok
<10> I'm trying to make a USB boot disk
<16> what bootloader are you on?
<10> lilo
<16> if you can get to a GRUB prompt with memdisk, you can use memdisk to boot them
<16> LILO can do it too, I think... you use memdisk as the kernel and you set the initrd to the disk you need to boot
<17> I'm trying to setup my mail server (Domain1.com) to allow relaying of mail heading for Domain2.com, by simply accepting them, and forward to a second mail server that handles Domain2.com .. The question is: Does the server handling Domain1.com need to be DNS server for Domain2.com too to allow this?
<13> na If i understand the question.
<10> my problem is that all I have is this laptop, on winXP
<10> my linux box has shat itself, needs a BIOS upgrade
<10> and I'm starting to get REALLY pissed off... such a simple thing has nearly taken me an hour to do
<17> chupacabra: Please let me know if I can rephrase that.. I'm using suse, and It should be very possible to do this setup with yast alone..
<10> chupacabra: it will, it's an ACPI problem
<10> can't be bothered explaining
<16> it fixed my dead Linux box once, nevermind the fact that it was dead because I put RAM in it and I needed to clock it to CL3...
<13> Shouldn't matter where dns is at as long as it is correct
<17> chupacabra: It should suffice to just enter the target domain + target server in the mail transport settings ?
<10> would someone mind making the freedos files available for me?
<10> I'm at a loss with this stupid windows machine
<13> CodeX Thats how I do it.
<17> chupacabra: Okay, maybe I just don't know how to adress the target domain then.. (How stupid can someone get..) Anyway, it's just "Domain2.com", and target IP (or hostname) ?
<6> nudenurd try the dosemu site
<13> hostname if it is a FQDN
<13> Why doesn't that XP machine have cygwin on it?
<10> oh ****...
<10> it does
<13> hehe
<10> :-O
<10> eeek, I need a beer
<13> or two
<16> or a keg
<10> ok then, so I would normally: cat dosimage.img > /dev/sdb
<10> but I don't have fdisk to tell me if that's the right drive
<17> sdb ? Didn't you need a floppy?
<10> flash drive
<10> I don't have floppy drives, or disks
<10> I got it semi-working, made it boot up but it crashed
<10> that was using windows to make the bootable drive though
<18> I recently upgraded my kernel and if I try to boot with it, init segfaults. How do I capture the boot log to file a bug with my distro?
<10> bench12345: you sure it's a bug?
<18> well, the previous kernel package boots just fine, so a bug seems likely. :)
<18> FWIW, I'm on x86_64 FC4
<18> they released a 2.6.15 package today. The previous 2.6.14 package they had worked perfectly
<10> ok, can someone please explain to me how to mount a .img as a loopback in cygwin?
<16> nudenurd, mount -o loop might be a good start, but I dunno...
<10> invalid option
<16> blah
<16> modprobe loop?
<16> by the way, what files are you trying to get off the disk?
<10> I just want to make a bloody dos boot disk so I can flash my BIOS.... my god I never thought such a trivial task would take half my day
<10> sorry, but I'm REALLY frustrated
<16> you don't have a freaking floppy drive, what do you expect?
<11> nudenurd: can you d/l the bios update as an .exe file?
<16> get memdisk and the boot images for DOS, find a way to get to a GRUB prompt, and boot like that
<10> yes, I have the update tool.exe and the flash file
<16> find an FD boot CD or something
<11> nudenurd: i've been told that you can make the .exe executable and run it from linux
<16> gnubien, how would that even work?
<16> gnubien, the EXE must run in native realmode if it's going to get anywhere with the BIOS
