a133x, take a look at them and remove step-by-step all unwanted mods

ok, i understand, i will do that

hi folks. i have some trouble running nfs server. after few hours of working i always get a “lockd: server xx.xx.xx.xx not responding, timed out”. anyone here has a hint what’s going wrong there?

mbroeker, do you know a pleace where I could look trugh the debian packages? like a list or something, like synaptic for x

aptitude

yes apitude works

thanks, works

i am not so familiar with theese debian tools right now
thats the reason why i am in here. i look for tips and advices …

i am pretty new to debian also, but from the most linux distros I tried to use as a server, debian seems the most stable and unbloated

a133x, i installed debian lenny last week for the “stability” reason and was surprised that the init-scripts are so bad

wait.

lenny is not still in development?

lenny is testing
etch is stable.

it is but i thought that belongs to the binary packages not the damn init scripts

yes, thats why I chose etch, etch seems pretty stable to me, but im no expert

etch is stable .

and what’s wrong with lenny’s scripts?
it’s BSD-like system? ypu know

i switched from gentoo to etch about a week ago, i absolutely love it

kirushik, i restart postfix via /etc/init.d/postfix and got messages like “Postfix started:Postfix startedpostfix started”

And I’ve experienced none problems with both etch and lenny

I forgot my luksKeyPhrase. At least I don’t remember exactly. I want to write a file with all combinations I think it could be and run luksOpen for each line. I know how to read the file line by line in bash, but my cryptsetup thing does not work, since I am testing it with a partition I still remember the passphrase of.

Even after patching their scruipts to enable nice bootsplash statusbar

Can anybody help me with the proper cryptsetup command?

lunk, i like it to, especialy the apt tool

after some changes to the init scripts they work a bit smoother

while read line; do echo “$line” | sudo cryptsetup -d – luksOpen /dev/loop0 testcrypt ; done asboe/phrases2

another lack of lenny is that /etc/sasl/smtpd.conf is missing

mbroeker, they will probably get fixed untill lenny gets realeased as stable

can someone tell me why this wont work?

hey guys
every time i start my computer X starts up (GDM I think)
how do i stop GDM from starting up

!tell tamiya about nodm

/msg dpkg etch

!nodm

Debian does not use a specific runlevel for graphical display managers by default. Just remove the dm package(s) with “apt-get remove xdm kdm wdm login.app gdm pdm”. “update-rc.d -f xdm remove” and friends will also disable the dm until a package update is installed and the runlevel symlinks are restored.. NEWSFLASH! echo “false” /etc/X11/default-display-manager, or a temporary solution is to hit ctl-alt-fN to get to a console

huh?

install sysv-rc-conf
and inside it disable gdm

i would prefer kirushiks solution, tamiya. adjusting the runlevel with that tool is preferable

“dirty: # mv /etc/init.d/gdm /etc/init.d/nogdm”.

going to try it right now
will let u know

how can I know in debian if my date is GMT or what

how to install .deb file?

I have run date but it is not showing any information

!deb

extra, extra, read all about it, deb is the extension for debian precompiled packages

2 CEST

mdstat resync speed=1396K/sec – why could that be soooooo slow?

the date command works fine i think

gdebi youfile.deb

!dpkg

i heard dpkg is the program used by debian to install and remove packages, “man dpkg”. also ask me about apt howto

have you tried, perhaphs, asking TEH google the same question? | how to install .deb file? |

7 BST

!gdebi

what BST means?

gdebi – Simple tool to install deb files

wfq, its a time zone
CEST is central european time

BST is british?

central european standard time

thanks kombi

status database area is locked by another process — any help for this please..

….but status web hosting with database services area is already something else…

ummmmmm it is true

wfq, i mean, GMT is greenwhich mean time. the mother of all time zones ( meridian 0 or so )

yes yes
mbroeker, thanmks

dpkg is a bot.

thanks

how do you speed up resync of an md?

mbroeker, i have another problem with apache. I have a website that uses phtml pages. Now when I try to acces it I downloads the phtml files. Do you have any ideas wich module handles this files?

yeah. sounds like one. so about dpkg? any help?

guess what? another process put a lock on dpkg database. aptitude? apt-get? synaptic? dunnowhat?

a133x, well, you need a new file like /etc/apache2/conf.d/phtml

i have aptitude running, but i dont have one on my console,

Is there a way i can make kernel raid when I install debian?

a133x, sorry correction. correction

yes, the installer supports installing on RAID

where do I find the docs?

a133x, in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf is AddType —- .phtml

if aptitude is running then it has a lock on the dpkg database

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-install.en.html

thanks Braindead

a133x, so your apache should serve it right now

ive got a bit of a problem right now
http://eos.iface.openroot.de/

http://largo.homelinux.org/info.phtml

mbroeker, yes it worked for me also, but after i tried lighttp and than reinstalled apache2 again, it didnt anymore

did you forget to reinstall libapache2-mod-php5?

no, it is installed
something messed up the config files i think

/var/www/info.phtml

is the php module enabled?

hey, does anyone know what I need to do to get mysql to accept remote connections?

adjust its config i imagine

make it listen on something other than 127.0.0.1

hi, is there a way to encode wma files as mp3 ?

sure is, use lame, maybe use mplayer to make a dump of the wma

a brick in the firewall, spheard and something in /etc/default/mysql* i think

/etc/mysql/my.cnf — change the bind-address to 0.0.0.0

cast, no support for wma of lame

/etc/default/mysql* doesn’t exist

read to the end of the line

SerajewelKS, ok.

I have changed that an still no joy

mbroeker, i added that line in the php5.conf, still nothing

and did you restart mysql?

of course!
how do I check it is actually using that config

Hi, there is a way to execute a script or command at the logout of a session?

try dir2ogg

paste the output of: netstat -tnlp |grep :3306

‘ When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.’

bom dia
Tudo bem com vc?

It is listed in lenny repo and it supports wma (it is said)

dunno if that helps ya Naitse

Good Morning!!

306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

output is ogg? yes

pastebin your my.cnf

cast, but at the login? or logout?

kirushik, thanks

where is how tool dns?

a133x, can you execute “php /var/www/info.phtml” ?

cast, i need to unmount a partition on the logout of a session of a user

GDM has usable scripts to be called on login?logout

what if they log in twice? then log out of one of the sessions?

Let me see

the odd thing is that .phtml was allready there, and when I execute info.phtml its just a blann page

http://rafb.net/p/P4RNhe70.html
SerajewelKS:^

why do you want to do that anyway?

hmm, and you are sure you restarted mysqld

dead sure
Ill do it again

it says ‘when a login shell exits’ and its called ~/.bash_logout, so on the logout

because i got user folders on a NTFS filesystem and need to unmount the folder wen the user not use it

/etc/gdm/PostSession

everything wroks now, it maye have been an cached file in my broawser

why?

a133x, what a miss

try commenting out bind-address completely

thanks

You could tweak script to unmount partition if noone with the same name is istill in the system
Try communication via /dev/shm files f.e.

cast, when one administrator login one script mount their user folder locaten on the ntfs filesystem
but if a studen logins later he can read the admin folder too
so

do you mean ntfs or nfs?

i need to umount the admin folder when its loguots

so just use unix permissions for that

ntfs

you could store number of admin’s logins in temp file on ramdisk

mount ntfs only readable by the administrator

why the hell are you using ntfs as an integral part of a linux system

can change the permisions

on logout, if number is zero

wont let me

unmount partition

read the ntfs mount options…you can set a perms

thanks kirushik
thanks cast
!!

I’m not your fucking csh prompt.

Ping! Ping!

hi i am making a net install with laptop i just forgot to mark LAPTOP and just selected base system… what can i do , must i reinstall ?

RASHPUTIN NO

you can install that task later

hi people

all it does is install some packages that are useful on a laptop, like battery monitoring stuff

for what package/s should i look ?

in aptitude, you have tasks section

oh ok

once it is done installing we can take care of that

FWIW running tasksel after i already setup my system was a very very bad idea. somehow it got it in its mind to uninstall have the sys

debian doesn’t break so easily

i have loaded a live cd, and have an hard disk with a LVM, how do I mount this LVM since the VolGroup doess not appear on /dev/ section ???

s/have/half

which live cd

hmm, what does lvscan do

Hi, I just switched from RHEL to Debian.. what is the equivalent to “yum whatprovides” in apt-get ?

assuming that asks about a virtual package?
or is it asking about files?

you’re assuming we know what it does

SerajewelKS, searching for a file

debian.org search system

!apt-file

methinks apt-file is util used to find which package owns a given file, or list files in a package, see also auto-apt and pdo, or use apt-file: aptitude install apt-file && apt-file update ; then “apt-file search filename” will give you a list of packages containing filename

try it? it’s huge

inactive ‘/dev…………..’ [XXXXX GB] inherit

see dpkg ^^^
or use packages.debian.org (usually easier)

SerajewelKS, ok thanks !

how do you upgrade a single package to unstable?

aptitude install packagename/unstable

woo, theres a pvscan too…note i don’t know what these do. tell me when you work out what you’re supposed to do

thanks

you better should not/ I advise ypu to build it yourself instead – very long chains of dependencies turn your system into half-unstable…

yesterday many people here were talking about the current kernel in sid, 2.6.22.x and i am wondering why i use 2.6.21 here in lenny.

I’ve runned into this once

you’re assuming he’s not using testing

Yes, i am

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to remove GRUB and replace the MBR from within XP ?

because 2.6.22 has not moved into lenny
google fixmbr

Oh I have. Everything I find says I need to boot of the XP cd and enter the recovery console.

i’m running mostly lenny but some stuff from unstable, including the kernel

this is the result of pvscan

because you do

http://pastebin.com/d35c72b35

ok SerajewelKS that s it

My orignal question stated “within XP”.

: and lvscan http://pastebin.com/d103f8117

your original question has no known solution. ask ##windows or boot the install CD and do it. takes five minutes.

cool,so you can see your 3 lvs on /dev/sda2…maybe someone else will know how to get them to show up in /dev though :

that’s what?

SerajewelKS, i use a custom kernel here, actually linux-tree is installed. will this package be updated regularly or have i do that myself?

lol kk

new kernels go into sid fairly often

Strange as it may seem(not really) ##windows doesn’t seem to know what an MBR is…. and my XP cd does not contain the recover console option. I do appreciate the help though.

so I’ll change my question how can I set up my VolGroups of my LVM on DEV ???

it should when you boot say something like “press f2 to enter the recovery console” before it starts loading drivers

hmm, vgchange has ‘To activate all known volume groups in the system: vgchange -a y’

SerajewelKS, in case of my “fresh installation and my growing expierences with it, i wont mix lenny, sid, stable, unstable, testing and so on. i will wait for updates and later on, i can adjust it if needed

I’m familiar with the option as I have seen it in the past on other disks. Mine however, does not contain it.

ok. there is usually little harm in mixing testing and unstable

does anyone know if it is possible to put a disk quota on a single directory?

testing intentionally lags behind unstable a bit but the idea is that unstable packages get moved to testing
stable however is fixed — that is why mixing it and unstable is so bad. but mixing testing and unstable is pretty safe and commonly done.

+1

thanks for the assistance. I think I’ve found a freeware tool(shudders) that will do it. Gonna test out that theory. Good day.

eh?

http://www.moanmyip.com/

np, good luck

“sid is old but stable, lenny is prefered for desktop enviroments…” and so i have choosen it

That means I’m absolutely agree
Is this sign is common only here in Russia?

the wikipedia site doesn’t have a clue what they’re talking about then

I’m struggling with a net install. I’m using pxe as per d-i instructions, but gpxe on the client can’t find any images. Does anyone know whether it want to find pxelinux.0 or an .iso?

can you please give us the link to the exact page?

i think i’ve seen it used to mean “good karma” or somesuch

or both?

and sid is not old but stable… stable is old but stable

Braindead, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian thats the site and http://uebersetzer.abacho.de/ will transate it for you

the basic idea is that a package in unstable is copied to testing after 7 days with no release-critical bugs filed

Braindead, the chapter ( Releases, Point 2. )

Hi world.

so using testing is safer than unstable, but the only harm in mixing them is getting hit by an RC bug in unstable. which is why you check the BTS before doing such an update.
but again you won’t have too many dependency issues since testing is basically 7-day-old unstable
if you don’t count packages held due to bugs and waiting dependencies
and what you get from unstable will at some point either be in testing, or a newer version will be in testeng
testing*

with which command do I securely delete a file?

humbolto, what do you mean with “securely” ?
rm -f file.txt or something like dd if=/dev/zero of=file.txt && rm -f file.txt ?

humbolto I use package “secure-delete” so it is srm filename

thanks dude worked fine

I quote your affermation: “sid is old but stable, lenny is prefered for desktop enviroments…” and look at the german wikipedia page: Unstable is always called “Sid”. Sid was in the film Toy story the boy from next door, the toys made broken. Many see it quiet also as Backronym for “in development” (“still in development”) or as recursive acronym for “sid is dangerous”.

there is shred in bash also. It is said it is weaker than srm

you just got the page wrong.

man shred

there was some app that would make sure random data is written over the file several times.

misunderstanding.

but note that if you are on ext3 any file shredding is pointless since it’s journalled

ja shred sounds good as does secure-delete.

so you can’t shred at all on ext3, but if you are on another filesystem, shred works

why is that? The journal wont keep the data, just the references to the blocks on the disk?!

Can’t I? I can, I suppose…

all i know is that everything i’ve read says shredding on ext3 doesn’t do what you think

Because evil person can still read the title of ypur file? and block number

does SerajewelKS comment affect secure-delete as well?

It is not thad bad

i take that back
if you mounted it with journal=data then shred won’t work
and few people do. just double-check that, if that option isn’t there you’ll be fine.

Journal keeps info, that’s right
in ext3? you can’t silently drop anything – trail is there
Bat noone can recall what was inthe file important.odt

If this doesn’t work, I’ll go back to the idea of setting up a local partial mirror.

And it is possible to remount ext3 as ext2 – without journal

right
but you don’t need to unless you’ve mounted journal=data

SerajewelKS If he wants to hide porno.avii, even name trace will be bad…
s/avii/avi

that’s what encfs is for

sure thing

they’ll trace it to eisEPRSiusOyXINTHuoikq

But can you boot from it? huh

damn, reallife sucks. my $girl_friend wants to take me into the city to look for clothes…

encrypted LVM?

personnaly i writed script for srm call and placed it into nautilus menu – tha’s enough
for me
I advise truecrypt for paranoid ones

we have dm-crypt already

I thought installing Debian over a network might be a bit more straightforward. I still don’t understand how the client finds an installation image. I’m flummoxed.

i’ve thought about doing the encrypted-lvm-with-key-on-thumb-drive thing

It mounts container with kernel loopback

humbolto, SerajewelKS thanks for your comments, tips and advices. i hope to see you both in a few hours back.

as long as the key stays in memory i can boot it and remove the drive
then if i’m away and my box is stolen they get a bunch of random bits to play with

and you can chroot after basic initialisation into the encrypted-on-the-fly enviroment

bit better to use a cryptocard, though

i don’t have the time or money to investigate that

join the FSFE and they’ll send you one!

I’ve used to encrypt /home/ for on corporation

heh

to be decrypted only if valid USB token present

I am trying to do apt-get update bu after Get:5 http://ftp.debian.org unstable/main Packages [6403kB] it got stop

But it is pointless – every user is silly
And easily loose his key and all the data

telling Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Connection timed out

I’ve crypted this and that with GPG and so on
Hopeless

tnx for the advice. I used wipe.

it takes packages upto 55% and than stop

np

They dropped the game after while

gpg is great for backups though

SO, the bitter conclusion – weakest defense is in Userspace^)

keep a key on your person and you can backup to $my_favorite_sharing_site

SerajewelKS Yes, I know. I’ve been trying to encode symmetric key on token with my publicGPG and store it locally
Corp guys said – We don’t trust you
Use our key
Should i complain that their lost their secret part

I’m trying to write a script to let me know when schedules direct opens allows sign ins. For some reason this command does not pull the same content as the firefox web browser: wget -qO- –user-agent=”firefox” https://www.schedulesdirect.org/signup/

Hi, what could be the reason the boot process is trying to mount the filesystems in an order different from the odrer of the records in /etc/fstab?

–user-agent=”firefox” doesn’t do what you think
firefox doesn’t use “firefox” as its UA

Okay, so I have to find out what the real user agent is. K, thanks.

hi
!ftp

from memory, ftp is (File Transfer Protocol) This is a method of moving files from system to system using TCP/IP. There are three sane kinds of ftp: anonymous, encrypted and unprivileged (non-unix users). Unencrypted ftp using hosting on unix based servers users will get your box pwn3d as fast as runnin windows on your firewall machine.

does MS sell anything for firewall boxen?

!pwn2d
!pwm3d

!tell piper69 about msg the bot

don’t know, ask them

what does pwm3d mean?

pwn3d. ask google

where I can get packet libgdiplus-1.2.4 ?

it’s a way to spell “owned”

SerajewelKS thank you, but how, there is no relation at all

pwned is an intentional misspelling of owned, and 3 = e in leetspeak

SerajewelKS sir thank you for clearing that up i know understand it

np

hi all
“Can’t create addrlist socket
exiting.”

you forgot something configuring that kernel. no, we’re not gonna help you debug that problem ’cause kernel configuration is a bloody mess per se. let alone helping someone doing it remotely. stick with precooked kernel images UNLESS it’s really needed otherwise

hmm … how to generate a new initrd.img for a new kernel
?

did you compile the kernel yourself?

thanks anyhow

muori porcodio

efaistos, either with mkinit* tools or by following linux/Documentation/initrd

nope just installed the 2.6.21 pkg

efaistos, normally it should be done during kernel install, if you use apt

?

XD

do you have use_initrd=no in /etc/kernel-img.conf?

no
i have yes

what’s a good frontend for crond?

crontab -e?

hi all

is that a good idea to generate my own initrd.img ?

thanks

any idea ?

bloody hell, it’s such a labor getting votes on reddit

reinstall the kernel image and look for error
s

i have some trouble with libc6, busybox etc …
dependecy problens
/sproblens/problems

man mkinitramfs

morning

i know the man and everythin’ but there is a problem with some pkgs … because no upgrade was made between sarge and etch and i have a sarge kernel so its a 2.6.7

hi all!any help about configureing nvidia on debian 4.0???

i want to move linux firewall distribution to new pc. i cloned hdd. everything loads perferct but not network card. how i should add use it to new mashine?

any idea ?

!tell z3r0ph3wl about interfaces

where to download nvidia-kernel-source???
!nvidia

for a reminder.

efaistos there are good pre-built kernels. there is one in etch They DO make initrd during installation. try dpkg-reconfigure if you have already installed them and still have some troubles
then double-check /boot/grub/menu.lst

i tried
alreadyu

look carefully initrd lines
what’s the problem then, exactly?

trying to install libc6 but we need a 2.6.8 at least … and i’ve got a 2.6.7
and there is a lot of errors about dependencies

efaistos have you installed 2.6.18
???

2.6.21
but apparently it says taht it’s not well installed
when i try to reinstall the kernel

!sarge-etch

sarge-etch is read the etch release notes: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes ; the recommended upgrade procedure for sarge-etch is no longer as simple as running “aptitude dist-upgrade”, please follow the prodedure in the release notes. also ask me about security

Have you double-checked GRUB?
You can boot from old kernel
f.e. it could use symlink to your old kernel…
you have /vmlinuz symlink

I’m looking for a good boot cd for ripping hdd images and restoring them, something that’s OS agnostic and runs on many architectures…
anyone have any suggestions?\

Don’t use it!

i dont have a physical acces to the box

like a boot cd ?

It only causes troubles, afaik

those links work fine
assuming they’re correct

does anyone know if it is a problem if I put a quota for a user drectly on the / dir and not on /home

efaistos check /boot/grub/menu.lst You can,can’t you? make sure first line is about the real kernel, not the synmlink. Then, make sure you boot choice is 0 by default (not “saved” etc.)

BOOKZ is the guy owning the box with the libc6 dependency problem …

then reboot
abrotman haven’t you ever update symlink for your custom kernel?

eh? i used to use those symlinks all the time with custom kernels

twobitsprite knoppix or backtrack
abrotman OK, then you’re more careful than me. I forgot once
it’s funny to update some propietary driver, which rely on symlink to your “current kenel” when it is wrong

any idea for our problem ?

anyone here use dvorak? Sun Java seems to want to treat my keyboard like a qwery keyboard when I use control keys.

i wasn’t following .. what’d you break ?
maybe #java ?

can you explain to abrotman ?
i have to pee
….

?

abrotman the two guys are twins
%)

?

Yah, I’ll try there. most likely a java web hosting rather than debian specific issue anyway

basically, I have an old kernel, and I tried an upgrade, and the new kernel want a new libc6 and the new libc6 want the new kernel

hey guys, where can I get Java Virtual Machine = 1.5 for Debian Etch?

and it’s more or less stuck there
of course, in the meantime, I tried to install a few things by hand with dpkg -i, so it got worse
bof course, in the meantime, I tried to install a few things by hand with dpkg -i, so it got worse/b

jamvm is in version 1.4.x, even in etch backports.

BOOKZ do you want to build your kernel yourself, from source? You wont need brand-new libc6, afaik
And anyone could share you a config for kernel

no no, I just need the system to upgrade as usual
I’m not into home-made kernels

how can I do to install debian apache with ISO-8859-1 for default?

it’s just that I probably missed the switch from kernel-image to linux-image on that machine

BOOKZ they’re like debian-make – the same config, allthing the same
but you can compile and use it temporarily, and then upgrade to the one from dpkg

ah ok

BOOKZ Won’t you just reinstall Etch from empty partition

not sure if everything needed to compile it is installed

using dpkg -i could already bring you to a mess…
And you are free to keep your /home folders…

I’m 600 km away from the machine, so I’d rather avoir bringing it to a state where it won’t reboot
s/avoir/avoid/

Have you placed them on the different part.?

yes

WOW!
Umm.
There is NOBODY there?

everything is in lvm, expect the root partition

Who can place round shiny disk into drive?

come help us ..

nobody that has too much time to spare on installing a debian machine

15 minutes?

windows user ?

there are install images which you can join via ssh?
freebsd user

ah …

but also busy man

There should be. Let me see
http://www.underhanded.org/papers/debian-conversion/remotedeb.html

usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 2
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning

sorry .. let me read back

okay

did you try isntalling them on the same line? and what’s your current kernel ?

How can I make bind listen to some different port than 53?

BOOKZ try Debootstrap?

and do you have the full output of the new kernel/libc errors ?
IIRC .. your current kernel is old .. you’re running unstable .. and it wants a 2.6.8 kernel before it’ll let oyu upgrade libc6

2.6.7-1-38

yeah .. too old

exactly

grab the 2.6.8 from sarge .. try to intsall that .. boot that .. then try again
(or maybe a 2.6.18 from etch)
i don’t remember how hcy fixed his
but he was running 2.6.3

so I need to get a few .debs?

is it just me or was there an app called apt-config or something that used to give you a list of debian mirrors and set your /etc/apt/sources.list file ? Where did it go?
no I think it was apt-setup or something, apt-config looks to be something else…

usr/bin/apt-config
maybe you mean apt-setup?
ahh..right..ignore
dunno, could use apt-spy instead

hi.sorry for the off topic question but i have downloaded a movie that has vob, bup and ifo files in it..proper dvd rip…do i just create a data dvd and put them all in or is there something else i need to do?

why remove such a useful program? I can never remember mirrors and things to write in sources.list and is always a bother every time i install debian…

Hello folks
Is debian a gnu or UNIX 7 implementation?

!apt-setup

or ‘netselect-apt’ can be used instead.

Does Debian GNU/Linux (or GNU/Hurd, and so on) tell yous omething?

yes
Is this generally true about linux?

Yes.

apt-spy just segfaulted on me….
urgggg….

Ok, thankyou

bring back apt-setup!

Linux is, I would say almost entirely run with GNU userland.

why? its not necessary

anyone?

likely .. yes
you’re welcome to maintain it

I like it, it’s easier than remembering or looking up mirrors when installing debian and setting up sources…

stoned flip side

on reboote ?
ooops …

Is it actually possible to boot from a remote .iso? the d-i-g really isn’t that clear.
I’m having no fun with pxe
I think there is possibly something really basic I’ve missed. inetd doesn’t seem to have an entry in /etc/init.d/
But I’ve just edited /etc/inetd.conf
I’m clearly doing something dumb here. :/

uhm, Im having really probs understanding the date man page. I deed to create a timedate string that has no spaces for use as a filename. how would I go about that?

i doubt it

how can I purge or uninstall not used packages?

man dpkg

hello, Where can I find the init files for gnome? (I mean something alike /etc/skel for adduser)

how can I purge or uninstall not used packages?

apt-get –purge remove [package]
please

use aptitude from the start and aptitude will deal with that itself

will colons in a filename cause any problems?

how can i specify a parameter for a module that is loaded at boot time (automagically, discover?)

deborphan i think might be up your street if you use apt-get

mkdir “not:at:all”

sn_ I wanna clean all the not ussed packages

deborphan

axscode even for http?

man modprobe

thanks for the moral support.

no way to clean a debian system?

!tell kenji about deborphan
!tell kenji about debfoster

its already inserted when i boot

then you’d have to unload it

i was hoping there was a way to find out what is inserting it, and tell that program to use a parameter

i just told you .. man modprobe

sparrw, should be able to pass options the module via a file in /etc/modprobe.d

thanks

way to make him read!

way to tell him that modprobe will work, as opposed to just pointing to a random man page that wouldnt be relevant if insmod was used

How badly do you think I’d break an ubuntu box by changing all its sources to debian and apt-get dist-upgrading?

either surprisingly little, or surprisingly much

neithert channel would support you ..

suck it up and reinstall

i think you should do it.

Fine. I think I might look at the local partial mirror option and net-install from that.

This problem is because that rule assumes that DYNFS implies udev . But DYNFS also checks for devfs, which is still allowed in Sarge.
can anyone help with my problem?

I’ve got three machines. I can afford to waste one, once I’ve figured out how to re-install. (the CD drives are knackered btw)
I guess it would be interesting to know.

situations like this are why its good to keep /var and /opt and /home on different partitions, lose nothing but system-installed apps when you reinstall

i am getting this error while running apt-get update: W: GPG error: http://ftp.freenet.de stable Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG A70DAF536070D3A1 Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (4.0/etch) ftpmaster@debian.org
is this serious, or can i ignore it?

Is there a way to use mke2fs as a user? Because when I format my Mem stick as root it obviously sets all permissions for root access only. Do people usually just change the owner of it as root?

that’s a very bad idea.

ok
so what method should i be doing? i guess i’m mixed up as to what the appropriate way to go about it is

How can I use find to locate files bigger than a given value?
find / -size 100b works for distinct sizes

hey guys… can someone help me with a checkinstall problem? i configured the prefix for /usr/local, did make and “checkinstall –install=no”, but when i install the deb, it appears to be installing it to /usr, and failing in the process. here’s a paste of the errors: http://pastebin.com/m3b598360

[heh, to install pidgin too]

stow?
i’m not familiar with that

its an alternative to checkinstall, and is in stable
it does not try to create debs, though

i don’t necessarily need debs, just a way to easily remove it, if i need to

ahh, stow will give you that

great… reading the man page now… any pointers?

if you install stow, install -d -o youruser /usr/local/stow/pidgin, ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/stow/pidgin/ –exec-prefix=/usr/local/stow/pidgin/ && make && make install
the install -d -o has to be run as root, now pidgin is installed. but in an obscure place. so you would, as root, cd /usr/local/stow; stow -v pidgin and it’ll setup symlinks from /usr/local/bin etc.. to /usr/local/stow/pidgin/bin etc..

at what point does stow link everything in to /usr/local?
ahhh

then when you want to uninstall it, cd /usr/local/stow; stow -D pidgin; rm -fr pidgin/

sparrw, I don’t care about any data in this situation.

what does the “install -d -o youruser /usr/local/stow/pidgin” do? what is the purpose of the “youruser” part?

hello ,i’ve got a error when i run grub-install

oh, well, i like running make install as a normal user so i can’t hose my system. that part creates the pidgin dir owned by youruser so you can run make install as youruser

/dev/ram0 does not have any corresponding bios drive
can somebody tell me why ?

thanks, this has been very helpful…. i’ll be glad to get rid of checkinstall

sparrw, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do

what does that have to do with sources then?

sparrw, that was just a random thought because I was finding pxe booting such a pain.

heh

!ntp

rumour has it, ntp is the Network Time Protocol. Try “apt-get install ntpdate ntp” for basic usage. Use “pool.ntp.org” as your NTP server if you don’t have one of your own already. (Make sure your time zone is right, with tzconfig, first.) See http://www.ntp.org/ or http://www.openntpd.org/ for more information.

ask more specific questions, or nobody will answer

what does it do? and where exactly does it listen?

I have an USB disk which is automatically mounted (on /media/usbdisk) The files on this disk can be read but I can’t write on it. Do you have an idea, please… ?
I’m under debian etch

the USB disk is NTFS

its listening on port 80 and when i type the ip of the server into my browser it just sits there and eventually times out

!tell benj90 about ntfs-3g

can you ping the server with that ip?

on what interface(s) does it listen?
what firewall?

does it work if you try with wget or lynx from the server itself?

i can ping the server, i only have one ethernet card eth0, i assume it’s listening on that
azeem wget works from the server itself

don’t assume. check

is this on your local lan?

azeem, yes, i also tried wget from another machine, it also works
how do i check

eh, then it’s maybe an issue with your browser?

azeem, soory no it didn’t work from the other machine

if it work from another machine

what did you say about NTFS-3G ?

hi. Anybody help me? I make a new kernel (2.6) and after the make modules_install command I couldn’t find th bzImage file in the i368/bott dir

is 192.168.0.14 the box you’re testing the connection from?

i386/boot of koz

yes
no, thats the server
i was testing from 192.168.0.1

sbody help pls

ok
what does iptables -L say on both machines? Do you have a router/firewall in between?
does e.g. ssh work, if you have sshd on the server?

i thnk it’s gotta be a routing problem, but i can’t find where the problem is, i have a debian gateway 192.168.0.1 maybe it creating a problem. I also have an apache server hosting on that machine. I am using the 192.168.0.1 as a router. Iptables on the 192.168.0.14 say accept everything, and i have a ipmasq with a few custom rules running on the other one
ssh works fine

did you check apache2 logs?

I tried to change sources list (/etc/apt/sources.list) but it was write protected, how could I install nVidia legacy drivers?

yes nothing shows up unless i use telnet 192.168.0.14:80

how do i set the resolution that gdm uses?

hrm, no idea
so those ESTABLISHED lines in your pastebin are likely from telnet?

no i tried to connect to the server with machine 192.168.0.30 earlier and they are still there.
i guess it’s trying to go through the gateway

you should be root to change the sources.list

maybe thats the problem

But how could i be root :/

but you try wget 192.168.0.14?

when i try to connect this any machine, this comes up, but source 192.168.0.1

or some external IP address

I need a few windows users at the office to be able to map a network drive over the internet. I want to use debian as the server on the other side of town. is samba the route to go for this?

u mean from the serveer

I thought .14 was your web server

yes it is, when i wget from that machine, it works fine, but from only that machine the other machines on the network don’t

but you still wget 192.168.0.14 to try to connect to it from the other machines?

yes

are you using ubuntu

I’m using Debian

use sudo

How

sudo editor file

how do i set the resolution that gdm uses?

over the internet? samba yes, but only through some sort of vpn solution (or some other kind of secure tunnel)
I have a weird issue with bridging + user-accessible tun device. On a 2.6.22.1 kernel, I do: brctl addbr br0; brctl addif br0 eth0; tunctl -u jelly -t vbox0; brctl addif br0 vbox0; then configure the ip on br0, put eth0 into promisc mode and use the tun device from a VirtualBox guest.
however, if I tcpdump br0 and vbox0, I see all traffic on br0, but only outgoing on the tun device. ie: i see arp requests and replies on br0, but only arp requests on vbox0 device.

“sudo mousepad sources.list”?

jelly was thinking ssh, but I am not versed enough with that and vpns not at all.

ha someone who uses mousepad

testparm and the logs show nmbd and smbd working fine, and I am ssh’d into the server machine from a windows box. yet trying to map the drive with \\ip\share is not connecting

tunneling smb thru ssh is possible too, but I don’t know if windows can use samba on non-default port

jelly irritatingly I have seen a few forum posts of people doing it, but they fail to tell how they did it lol

I’ve set up pptp tunnel with pptpd on the Linux side, it mostly works. if you need a persistent connection, maybe openvpn is better solution

Still i can’t save the file

jelly if it was just file sharing, sftp would be fine, but they need a persistent connection through commandline only so they can all run an old dos accounting software program
I had thought just ssh in, dos emulate and be fine.. but they also need to be able to locally print the remote programs reports

http://pastebin.ca/668067 could the problem be here?

was lost from there, then. lol

possibly, I’m not iptables expert
is this the router/gateway?

yes

I would say that is very likely it
where “it” is “any iptables stuff”, no idea which rule exactly is making trouble here or what to do, sorry

can someone look at it thats an iptables expert and tell me if there is something there that would keep my local apache2 server from working
thanks anyway

have you verified that your dos app works at all when using a samba share?

the question is why the tcp packets go via the router for the local network though

if something is enconded in utf8 and I have just editor to read iso, can’t I read it?

but maybe that’s expected

excellent question

jelly I haven’t gotten samba working yet as I say. I was hoping samba would be easier so they could just map it like a local drive and run the executable. but as I say, its all set seems to me on the server side, but the windows box refuses to connect over the internet.
jelly I could make it work through emulation and ssh, but as far as getting the local machines to print the remote files.. that is another matter

VPN ?

abrotman its a commandline only box, most of the vpn software I have found wants to install X

orly?

resistance, I mean if I should get the whole text in utf8 but not readable or simply it could appear anything

OpenVPN.

common cheapo routers forbid samba over the internet these days (they have good reasons to)

I know I can’t
I would like to know if the file are wrong, that is all

what do u mean

jelly matters not the solution at this point they want it yesterday lol. “ability to run our dos program over the internet”
ssh, vpn, bailing wire and tin cups..
heh

Off the top of my head, I know no DOS emulator that supports printers

is there something in debian to pass from utf8 to iso?

Huh?

jelly the only other solution I came up with was having them use putty and capture the buffer and paste it into word
and print locally.

kpowersave says my monitor does not support brightness changing. i can write directly to /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD/brightness to change it, is there any way to make that GUI-friendly?

er, bringing the printer to the linux box can be done with tunnelling, that’s not a big problem

AFAIK dosemu and dosbox can pass data to the host’s devices.

iconv

hi what “open payable” mean ?

beardy would be nice. as I say, the debian server will not have a local printer. but both locations have their own locals of course.

Question of the day to logd.

well, if you receive a email witha file in utf8 and you do not open it just download it and pass it to another server with utf8 as locale

I see no mention of printer, parallel, lpt or usb in dosbox

Shoud you see the text correct?
correctly?

Use dosemu then. Dosbox is meant for games.
http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=4281

hi! is there a specific way to delete old logs in /var/log?

ah. so if dosemu supports cups as printer, you might be able to do something

hi
how do I make a script emit beeps?

I haven’t used dosemu this century yet

Is there a testing net install image avlabale?

does anyone know how I could implement this http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html but with dynamic ips from the two isps? ?

jelly yes, but then setting up the remote printers in their differences to be talked to by the remote server

Install and use ‘beep’. man beep

well, it’s an interesting exercise

too obvious thanks

You’re welcome.

jelly not when they want it yesterday

I hope you’re charging them consultant range fees.

I’ve installed a bunch of systems from netinstall cds but I tried installing on a laptop that needs a non-free driver (atheros) to access the network so I went with ubuntu which is now annoying me. How should I install a debian (stable) system that needs a non-free wireless driver?
Get the full sets of install disks and then burn the driver in non-free to a CD on another box and install it like that?

jelly gas/expenses and labor. no worries there. just having to kick my brain into a higher gear perhaps

I hoep you hav already found this yourself, anyway, http://marc.info/?l=linux-msdos&m=106095108414756&w=2

I haven’t, but that seemed reasonable… I think dosemu had support for lpr back then

then i write on my linux firewall rc.interfaces eth0 up i get no such device. or then with rc.inet cannot find device eth0 als same with eth1

beardy yet its printing locally that concerns me. I can share a printer easily enough on a lan. but this wan printing with no server printer is the thing

I still don’t know how to install drivers. i wrote “sudo mousepad sources.list” but it didn’t help

tunnel smb or socket://…:9100 to the linux machine, then set up a cups printer, shouldn’t be too hard then

hi all

guys my mysql Is death, can you help me? http://rafb.net/p/xtHDsw85.html

kenji, have you updated system libraries theese days? if so, rebuild your local mysql installation…

anybody know what broke my Gnome login this morning? All of a sudden gdm can’t find my session (unstable)

no processes left in run level. Anyone have an idea on this?

!tell grib about unstable
!tell grib about bts

I updated mysystem yes, but whats going to happen to the databases? and the users?

kenji, normally nothing.

mbroeker can I just move the databases directory and paste it in the new mysql instalation?
mbroeker?

export the data from the working mysql installation a and import it into the next installation
migration is mostly not to copy something from a to b

mbroeker my mysql is not working so I can’t eport the data

no processes left in run level. Anyone have an idea on this?

thanks for your help! I am familiar with the bug tracker and the flaws of unstable

rebuild your local mysql client
rebuild your local mysql client and server

mbroeker thats why Im asking
if I rebuild it what happend to the data?
my mysql is running on debian but its not from a debian package, its my own compilation

ldd /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld-safe
the output should not contain lines like libssl.so ( not found )

root@duritz:~# ldd /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe
not a dynamic executable

kenji, ah yes. where do you get this build from ?

mysql.com

or is that a script?

mbroeker its a script

ok then check the target binary
with ldd

mbroeker I wanna do apt-get install mysql-server but how can I send my db to the new mysql server?

i dont think that you can copy the files from a to b
the keys, indices, userdata and so on will be lost

sounds like /etc/inittab or something run by it is garbage.

in my mysql the databases are storaged in /usr/local/mysql/var … can I move this directory to mysql of debian dabases storage directory and its going to work?
ok broeker, how can I start my mysql server? xD
mbroeker*

kenji, try that. but make a complete backup of /usr/local/mysql

where are the mysql of debian databases?

are gigabit NICs going to transerfer at gigbit speeds with a default install on Lenny?

i use postgresql, but apt-get install mysql should do the job… keith4
i use postgresql, but apt-get install mysql should do the job… kenji !

what job?

“no processes left in run level” – google turns up “check /etc/init.d/rc: # debug=echo” for you.

kenji, to install mysql?

…. should be commented.

mbroker Im not asking for that
where are the databases If I use the debian package?

kenji, you are talking to aggressive. ask another one

entirely depends on what hardware is under the bonnet

mbroeker Im not talking aggressive, its the only way I know because I don’t speak english

why don’t you use the Debian mysql package?

its a realtek pci NIC, linksys or dlink, i forget…

I wanna do that, but all my mysql databases are in the other mysql-server and it don’t start

an e1000 on a ~modern cpu should be fine

wait, can you dump/restore them

azeem, is there a tool for that?

you’ll need to be a little more specific; lspci | grep -i net

I don’t know, but I assume so

xD

mysql is supposed to be enterprise-ready

zeem do you know where are the mysql logs?

no

Okay
Would there be something similar to a LiveCD for Debian then?

!livecd

i guess livecd is an operating system that can boot and run directly from CD. Linux-based examples are Knoppix and Ubuntu. Useful as a rescue cd or for showing off to your geek friends. Debian may one day have its own LiveCD http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debian-live/ or http://live.debian.net/ or #debian-live on oftc

ah, okay, so nothing yet?
thanks for the help anyway

did you look at teh debian-live url”
?

no, but the bot says ‘may one day’
I’ll read through it though

http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/
a href=”http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/”http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org//a

ok, ethtool does say NAPI, but i’m not sure what you mean by “Jumbo frames” are you talking about mtu size?

most pc hardware will catch on fire at the kinds of packet rates 1500byte sized ether frames will generate @ 1Gbps
solution – don’t; use at least 4k frames.

does the ati driver give 3D, I mean to play descent games I have an ATI Radeon MOBILITY 7500…

i’m still not sure what you mean by frames. i assume you are talking about MTU size.

I’m formatting one of these days and want to try another linux, are there any downsides I should know about debian?

lo; is debian base really better than ubuntu base these days? they both still have a mutual bleeding-edge problem, right?

Attempting a pvmove I get “VG vg0 metadata too large for circular buffer”… what gives?

someone..?

you are going to have to install the drive ATI provieds to get some 3D exceleration

!fglrx

7.1 . Downgrade xserver-xorg-core to 7.1 for the time being if you are on testing/unstable

I’ve just vgconverted to lvm2, so maybe… I’m trying rebooting, maybe that helps

^^ that one

ok tnx

yes, frame length; mtu is the NIC’s view of this in the Tx direction.

does fglrx even support that card?

so just run that script?

if i’m trying to clean out /usr/local… are there any directories that i need to leave intact, or can i just wipe everything out?

ok, thanks for the info. i will now have to decide if it is worth changing the mtu size on my network, because not everything is gigabit

/msg dpkg fglrx one-liner
you think it doesn’t?

kk soz

did you try the radeon driver first, maybe?
in any case that chip is quite old, so doesn’t have much 3D performance I guess

non gigabit interfaces won’t support larger MTU’s – suggest you create a vlan for your gigE, use jumbo frames on it, and route to/ from that segment

ya, i think i might create vlans, and stick a 2nd 100mb NIC in there

yeah, it’s not supported afaik

nb if you want to see if packet rates are the problem, keep an eye on hi/si in a recent “top” under load.

ok

but the radeon driver does

hey all … i have this fedora box that smells like old feet … and im wanting to install debian instead … someone just said if i get the net install cd, it creates a minimal i386 working box, and i can apt-get whatever other packages i want

my thunderbird (from lenny) yields an XML parsing error on chrome://messenger/content/FilterEditor.xul

id prefer everything be compiled for an athlon 64 in 32 bit mode, but i dont see that as an option, and im not really wanting to deal with gentoo compiling everything … any recommendations ?

can’t find anything about that in the existing bug reports, but I’d like to dig in a bit deeper myself first. Any idea where that file comes from?
(I guess it’s in a zip somewhere, as I can’t find it on the filesystem directly)

get the i386 installer then

hark, so get the i386 net installer ?

hi to wall why i get this :
571 messages suppressed.
table full, dropping packet.

your pc will “burst into flames” when the frame rate exceeds the max hw interrupt rate your box can cope with (NAPI mitigates this by letting the NIC’s Rx ring fill and generating one interrupt for the whole ring – but you can still kill typical PC designs with mixes weighted to the short end) – or – when you box is spending so much time servicing the NAPI poll that the HW ring buffer overflows (again, bias to the short end in the mix w
ill readily achieve this)

PIGGY!

design on the NIC typically varies in terms of MAC filtering, buffer depth, jumbo frame capability, checksum offload; r8169 appears to hat 64 tx descriptors/ 256 rx descriptors; e1000’s have 256 of both except the 82544 – which has 4096.

I get a-i fglrx an error wit this = FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/misc/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted

use the radeon driver instead

I wanna play descent games ..

nuxis, su – ?

I was root

from the looks of things r8169 is feature-complete re: tx/rx csum, scatter-gather, and transparent segment(entation and reassembly) offload.

i like being included, thanks

you don’t really have much of a choice..

no clue if its MAC filters are worth a damn; I don’t do multicast on linux.

ok hark

the radeon driver supports 3d. what game are you trying to play?

keith4, what do you mean? i cant get it right now

you directed something at me earlier by accident
i was saying i love that game
i get all excited. “someone’s talking at me on #debian!”

(Which only works if you have a valid linux-headers-* package)

nvidia one-liner?

guys, is it possible to enable password auth in sftp-server?

and when m-a doesn’t work….

then don’t bother at all

i shoulod suggest….

it’s better than the nvidia.com installer

ah
fail
bad plan

!tell jetscreamer about enter

I *do* prefer the m-a one-liner.

How can I remove all spaces and commas in 30 file names, and replace them with underscores?

could i read a few honest opinions about debian server v. gentoo server?

Just wish there was a way to make my own kbuild

i told you yesterday .. man rename

why do you need 2.6.23 anyway?

perl, rename

azeem, it’s not an issue of “need”. I just want to try out CFS.

there must be a way

so try it out without wireless *shrug*

1. i guess to start, setup time; Deb:1 Gen: 0

It would be w/o wireless and w/o nvidia drivers.

but with CFS!

And I want try it to see how well it performs in modern games, so…
That’s no point

WTF is CFS anyway?

s/That/There
Completely Fair Scheduler

uh

why libapache-mod-ruby is not in testing?

well sorry, I fail to see why you need to try that today. Just wait till kbuild is there

great plan

It’s not an issue of “need”.

it’s better than to mess up your system with the nvidia installer

I agree.
Which is why I asked how to make my own kbuild package

now show me where it messes up your system and i will agree
i do not believe you can

also, there’s experimtal, auto-built linux-image snapshots somewhere, maybe they include the kbuild

tainted doesn’t count

They do not.
You can install the image just fine.
