<0> You forgot something. Did you run "apt-get update" too? Or doesn't the HOWTO tell you that?
<1> :(
<1> tzs anyway
<1> txs :/
<1> yes i did
<1> i have the list ok
<1> just when i do: "for a in `cat update` ; do apt-get -d install $a ; done" it wont download all the packages
<1> that "update" is the list with the packages
<0> hrm. Not sure I can really help, as that's probably not the way I would do the upgrade.
<1> hmm
<2> :)
<1> should i try --reinstall ?
<1> with -d
<0> I wouldn't.
<0> a dist-upgrade is tricky.
<0> I haven't managed a dist-upgrade properly YET.
<0> ANd I've been running Linux for quite a while.
<1> the thing is i have a 4GB per month limit at home
<3> odd, it's always worked for me when I was using potato, and went to sarge testing
<1> well
<4> chipko: look in /var/cache/apt/archives
<1> thats where i want to see all the .deb's i need ;)
<4> apt keeps there all the debs it has downloaded
<3> you change the apt config file, run apt-get update, and then apt-get upgrade, and then i did apt-get dist-upgrade. you shouldn't *need* to create a list of packages to upgrade
<1> yes i know
<4> just do apt-get -d dist-upgrade
<3> if you're trying to download them in one place, and transfer, then maybe there's some sort of repo you can make (a'la yum)
<4> it should download them there
<1> hmm
<4> then you put them on a cd
<4> go home
<1> but here i have "testing"
<1> that's the point
<4> and you want to upgrade home from stable, right ?
<1> i need to download the same packages i allready have installed here, put them on cd and install them home
<1> yes
<4> well, then you're set
<4> copy what's now in /var/cache/apt/archives
<4> to your home box
<1> :/
<4> modify sources.list to point to testing
<0> that's ***uming he didn't run a -clean on that
<1> theres nothing there
<4> do apt-get update & dist-upgrade
<4> :)
<1> i dod :(
<1> did
<0> I thought of update && dist-upgrade
<0> Wasn't sure if it'd entirely work though.
<0> Anyhow, I'm out of this discussion
<1> i did that on this box and it worked fine
<4> risky: aptitude -d reinstall
<4> with every package :)
<4> at work :)
<4> how bad do you want to upgrade to testing ?
<1> :)))
<4> I think you should just bring your home hdd to work
<4> stick it somewhere
<1> me too
<4> and do your thing
<1> :)
<1> thanks guys
<4> [OT] anybody has a SIP number I can call to test linphone ?
<5> haha
<6> hi ....somone knows a console based client for edonkey??
<7> hi! can i ask here re: how to recover my root pwd?
<7> i forgot my p***word here in my comp
<5> Append "init=/bin/sh" to grub upon boot
<5> then do... mount /proc && mount -o remount,rw /; p***wd
<5> then you can change the p***word
<5> then reboot.
<7> i'm a new to linux... i'm gonna type here ---> boot: init=/bin/sh
<7> i'm gonna copy it
<7> ok brb... i'm gonna try now///
<7> hi! i'm tried to reboot and choose the recovery mode and it went to "root@ton~#"
<7> how to change
<7> my p***wd
<5> Are you using grub or lilo?
<5> You need to "append" init=/bin/sh to the existing line
<7> i'm using Ubuntu triple boot to this machine
<7> i think its grub
<7> if i'm in a console i can change my root psswd?
<7> because i'm already here --> root@ton~:
<5> I don't know how you got to that point, so I can't say for sure
<5> Type this: mount /proc && mount -o remount,rw /
<8> why would you need proc to change your p***word? (just wondering, it wouldn't hurt either I guess :)
<5> proc to remount / as rw
<5> that's been my experience, anyway :)
<7> lemme goggle it i'm on dial-up :(
<5> google what?
<7> to change p***wd
<5> i just told ya
<7> ok
<5> you need to take a few steps before you can do that
<5> you need to enable the / filesystem for read and write access
<5> by default it would mount the / filesystem read only, and you wouldn't be able to save the changes to /etc/shadow
<7> after i type that command what next?
<5> type p***wd
<5> and proceed as normal
<7> i still have the installer CD here it can be done
<5> you don't need it.
<7> ok
<5> just do what i told you :)
<7> lemme try that
<5> ok.
<9> hi, anyone using slamd64?
<5> Bedtime.
<5> later.
<7> hi!
<7> i'm remember
<7> theres no root psswd! :)
<7> i just change the admin i guess p***wd
<5> if you're logged in as root, p***wd defaults to changing the root p***word
<5> man p***wd for more information
<5> bedtime. 'nite!
<7> i read in the forum thats theres no root psswd on this distro
<7> nite!
<7> ty
<7> i'm gonna setup my internal modem :)
<7> Bye Bye
<7> is anyone configure a pci moden "intel 536ep"
<10> no
<7> :(
<7> i'm on dial-up
<11> that was my first modem, about 5 years ago
<7> ok i found on google lemme look
<10> your looking for a headache eh
<7> yea
<7> i said on the Cd it haw Linux Driver
<7> but theres no .gz file to extract
<10> so there's no linux driver after all?
<12> it can be .sh or .run or .bin or whatever, it dosn't need to be .gz
<7> it was said on the instruction
<10> what about on the cd?
<7> the driver installer
<13> Intel 536EP.. hmmm... isn't that an Ambient modem ?
<7> its xmedia
<10> does the cd indicate any linux driver?
<7> yes it does
<10> and what file is that?
<7> but dunno how to setup
<10> what does the file says?
<7> no ext when i open here in windows
<7> extn file*
<7> it just say file
<10> again, what file is that!
<7> i go properties it only say :type of file: File"
