| PyroPhelia | of course, i'm just trying to figure out how to configure it now |
|---|
| PyroPhelia | does anybody here work lags often? |
|---|
| PyroPhelia | (link aggregation) not network pings |
|---|
| PyroPhelia | no lag experts eh? |
|---|
| PyroPhelia | owell, plan B. |
|---|
| PyroPhelia | When configuring an etherbond, I know I can use 2 different ethernet cards just like I can use 2 different hard drives when building a raid, but what would the drawbacks be if they are both 1Gbps |
|---|
| PyroPhelia | LACP not, RR |
|---|
| brbrbr | oh, wait, "plan B" is SSM nike sub ? |
|---|
| brbrbr | should Debian team start construct/build one ?:) |
|---|
| PyroPhelia | I highly recomend it |
|---|
| PyroPhelia | nobody would ask "why doesn't debian have X" anymore |
|---|
| robokop | my down key doesn't work in X, in tty it does, any hints? |
|---|
| abrotman | wrong X keymap ? |
|---|
| robokop | abrotman: where is the X keymap set? |

| izua | is it possible to have a virtual network interface, so that if i write something to a file, it shows up as rx data, and if i tx data over the stack, this data shows up in another file? |
|---|
| izua | i'm trying to develop an ethercat (industrial protocol) slave |
|---|
| izua | all i found was adding multiple ips for an interface in the form of eth0:1, eth0:2 which is not what i want |
|---|
| jelly-home | izua: google tun/tap |

| HardDisk_WP | hi |
|---|
| HardDisk_WP | can I use an TPM chip for storing gnupg secret key and doing encryptions with it? |
|---|
| HardDisk_WP | i dont want the OS to be able to read the privkey |

| MarkGil | hi, Debian base seems to want to use rsyslogd, which is consuming vast amounts of memory on my embedded system, for something that provides a trivial function. Is there a better replacement, or a way of making rsyslogd leaner? |
|---|
| MarkGil | 30MB for an event log service is bloated to the extreme :-( |
|---|
| tuv | acpid is causing high cpu usage after a few hours every time it's restarted. once it's restarted cpu usage goes back to normal for a few hours then it spikes again until the next acpid restart. has anyone seen this behaviour recently? any known fixes? |
|---|
| tongueroo | when i ssh into the box as root, my ~/.bashrc settings dont load... if i start a bash shell after login in the customizations load, any idea why the ssh login doesnt load the ~/.bashrc settings? |
|---|
| Arrowmaster | MarkGil: have you looked at what emdebian uses? |
|---|
| babilen | MarkGil: There are several different syslog daemons shipped with Debian. Try sysklogd or 'apt-cache search syslog' and evaluate your options |
|---|
| tuv | what do i lose by shutting down acpid? |
|---|
| teclo- | Hi, I would like to increase the brightness in a xvid video. What application can do that ? Thank you |
|---|
| tuv | teclo-: you can do that at playback time using any decent video player (read mplayer) |
|---|
| robokop | i have some problems with my xkeymap, where can i find my xkeymap? |
|---|
| tuv | teclo-: man mplayer: keys 3 and 4 adjust brightness |
|---|
| teclo- | tuv: ah ok but I would like to modify the video because it's too dark, shot at night |
|---|
| robokop | teclo-: perhaps mencoder can help you out |
|---|
| babilen | !tell robokop -about keymap |
|---|
| teclo- | tuv: robokop thanks |
|---|
| pjj | anyone else has problems with wicd-curses btw on debian unstable? (shuts down with an error, the gui client works fine) |
|---|
| babilen | tongueroo: Is bash not your default shell on the remote host? |
|---|
| tongueroo | its the default, ive checked /etc/passwd |
|---|
| tongueroo | and echo $SHELL |
|---|
| karl_k | hi ! anyone here know how to restart bluetooth upon resume ? |
|---|
| babilen | pjj: check the BTS |
|---|
| KnuckOne | tongueroo: echo 'source ~/.bashrc' >> ~/.bash_profile |
|---|
| babilen | tongueroo: you should put it into .bash_pro .... ah nvm |
|---|
| tongueroo | KnuckOne : oh duh |
|---|
| tongueroo | thanks |
|---|
| tongueroo | :) |
|---|
| robokop | babilen: the problem is i changed from a x86 to a amd64 install but i have backups from the old install and i would like to find my old keymap and use that one |
|---|
| karl_k | putting a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ does not work |
|---|
| pjj | babilen: dunno how to copy paste from my urxvt but it has an attribute error (wiredcombobox has no attribute set_w) |

| unbounded11 | hi friends. what should i choose for dynamic dns for my adsl so i can connect with openvpn any of you friends using one that can recommend which go good with debian lenny |
|---|
| babilen | robokop: and you can't remember which one that was? |
|---|
| karl_k | hi unbounded11, dyndns has always been good for me |
|---|
| robokop | babilen: nope |
|---|
| unbounded11 | karl_k: thanks friend. btw it free is not it? |
|---|
| karl_k | yes |
|---|
| karl_k | well it was when i used to use it |
|---|
| robokop | babilen: because in my last install it defaulted to a correct keymap |
|---|
| babilen | robokop: Then just pick a suitable one. That might depend on the keyboard model and the language(s) you frequently type in. |
|---|
| unbounded11 | so i need to install its linux server daemon and conf it and run it and thats it. |
|---|
| karl_k | yep, there is a dynamic update daemon afaik |
|---|
| pjj | babilen: nvm thought you ment with BTS back trace or something, but you were refering to the debian bug tracking system, my bad |
|---|
| karl_k | aptitude search dyndns |
|---|
| karl_k | btw, why not go for a static ip ? |
|---|
| unbounded11 | karl_k provider doesnot support static ips |
|---|
| unbounded11 | so |
|---|
| karl_k | well dyndns was fine for me, they are reasonable people, in case you want to run some servers |
|---|
| karl_k | :) |
|---|
| karl_k | hmm, so anyone know how to restart bluetooth on resume ? |
|---|
| unbounded11 | karl_k i only need it for 1 machine and gona run openvpn and apache on it. i hope it will not get charged or have problem with it. |
|---|
| path_ | openvpn works well |
|---|
| path_ | I'd say its slower than ipsec |
|---|
| karl_k | unbounded11: dyndns would not care,, openvpn is encrypted so your provider cant see what you do and apache is not usually a problem |
|---|
| babilen | pjj: sorry ... should have spelled that out :-) |
|---|
| karl_k | unbounded11: what do you use openvpn for ? |
|---|
| MarkGil | if I wanted to restrict rsylog resource usage using ulimit, how would i do so? There is a vague reference here (that does not actually tell you how to do it), http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/Reducing_memory_usage |
|---|
| babilen | MarkGil: Why don't you have a look at the alternatives. sysklogd will most probably have a smaller memory footprint. The idea to check what embedian uses was also quite good. |
|---|
| MarkGil | I checked embedian, and it uses rsyslog! |
|---|
| MarkGil | http://www.emdebian.org/grip/search.php?package=rsyslog&arch=armel&distro=sid |
|---|
| babilen | You are sure that it is the default syslogd? |
|---|
| MarkGil | it was the only package that came up when I searched for syslog |
|---|
| babilen | Try the others and pick the one you like best. :-D |

| acu | how can I transfer files through xchat |
|---|
| ed__ | I made XMind go crazy and consume lots of resources so I ran killall Java. Some workbooks didn't open after that so I hoped it was Java or XMind that wasn't working after that and exitted GNOME. Now GNOME won't log out cleanly and oops, I've got some unsaved stuff in gedit. Any ideas on how to keep hold of the gedit stuff? |
|---|
| ed__ | Usually, it would prompt me to save, right? |
|---|
| ed__ | GNOME is being totally unresponsive |

| antgel | i've just connected a lenny box to an LCD TV with resolution 1366x768, and pretty low DPI (say around 50?) my fonts in certain apps look crap. e.g. rxvt and openoffice are fine. iceweasel is fine except for the menu bar and url bar. picard and easytag are almost unusable. clue anybody? |
|---|
| simonrvn | what's with the "pls msg me foo" stuff lately? |
|---|
| antgel | NB i'm not using kde or gnome |
|---|
| antgel | simonrvn: hi |
|---|
| simonrvn | hey antgel |
|---|
| antgel | all good in the hood i hope :) |
|---|
| simonrvn | up your dpi and maybe reduce the res. |
|---|
| simonrvn | yup, here anyway |
|---|
| KnuckOne | yeah, also "man fonts.conf" should help |
|---|
| simonrvn | antgel: how 'bout you, doin' ok? |
|---|
| antgel | simonrvn: hmm, 1366x768 is native res. i wish i could leave dpi at the native setting, what i don't get is why some fonts are readable, and some are scrawny |
|---|
| antgel | KnuckOne: can doodly-do |
|---|
| antgel | simonrvn: yeah, bit of a crappy year, been in a sort of self-inflicted limbo but my load has lightened (oo-er) and things looking up |
|---|
| simonrvn | good, so not great but improving. that's encouraging =) |
|---|
| Penix | I've always avoided 1366x768 on my 32" LCD TV. everything looks so much better at 1280x720 |
|---|
| Arrowmaster | if you arent using kde or gnome maybe some of the fonts are being anti-aliased while others arent |
|---|
| nik0z | Give instant Google Wave invites for Dropbox Refferal SignUp: http://j.mp/4A4ZD6 U don't need to send me mail, I will see it after sign up! |

| antgel | xrandr reports 59.8 dpi. let's call it 60. but the weird thing is, it's 32" wide, and 1366/32 is more like 43. weird |
|---|
| Arrowmaster | what gfx card? |
|---|
| antgel | Arrowmaster: the crap fonts are so *tiny*, it's hard to say if they're being anti-aliased |
|---|

| Drunken_Irony | amd64 or ia64? |

| abrotman | not ia64 .. either amd64 or i386 |
|---|
| Drunken_Irony | i want to use the 64 bit |
|---|
| markybob | Drunken_Irony, then amd64, as ia64 wont work |
|---|
| abrotman | okay .. amd64 .. ia64 isn't for your machine |
|---|
| Drunken_Irony | ahhh |
|---|
| Drunken_Irony | the amd threw me off |
|---|
| Drunken_Irony | :) |
|---|
| Drunken_Irony | is there also a 150 meg or so iso that i can download for that as well? |
|---|
| markybob | Drunken_Irony, yes. netisnt |

| xNinja | hey... |
|---|
| xNinja | i was connected with no problem through wireless but after i plugged the cable i think the default route has been changed to use the wired network, but i want to use the wireless network as my default route, because wired network has no internet |
|---|
| antgel | xNinja: are you using network manager? |
|---|
| xNinja | no all through shell |
|---|
| markybob | xNinja, so specify it in your route command. sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 wlan0 (for example) |
|---|
| antgel | xNinja: and it's set correctly in /etc/network/interfaces? |
|---|
| antgel | (as in, no gateway on the wired network) |
|---|
| edgardo-laptop | hi |
|---|
| xNinja | antgel its not debian :P |
|---|
| abrotman | then why are you asking here? |
|---|
| markybob | abrotman, that's like asking a child where babies come from |
|---|
| xNinja | i guess its route problem so no matter what os ? |
|---|
| markybob | idiots are...well...idiots |
|---|
| markybob | xNinja, go away |
|---|
| xNinja | markybob try to talk nicely... |
|---|
| abrotman | xNinja: go to the correct channel for your Linux distro, this isn't it |
|---|
| braunkraut | xNinja: it is a route problem, but with debian init scripts there are ways to adjust the metric using the post-up interface scripts that probably aren't available in antgel |
|---|
| braunkraut | man route |
|---|
| themill | antgel: you've become a linux distro too now, it seems. Hope you enjoy that. |
|---|
| xNinja | lol |
|---|
| xNinja | i solve it thanks anyway! |

| asarch | I am getting this when I plug my external HDD: |
|---|
| asarch | http://shak.pastebin.com/mca18956 |
|---|
| babilen | asarch: google that error messages, there are a couple of hits .. |
|---|
| asarch | Is it this? "scsi 4:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery" |
|---|
| babilen | no, "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71" |
|---|
| tacosbellos | Needing help loading pictures on my ATIVA digital photo frame, anybody own one in here? |

| Gm4n | I just updated my system, and mdadm doesn't show my raid device anymore. How do I recreate it? I know what volumes were in it, but I don't want to lose my data... |
|---|
| Gm4n | is there a way to scan and automatically recreate the raid? |
|---|
| CodeWeaver | most raid controllers, even cheap ones are able to recreate the raid under the raid setup after POST |
|---|
| qwd | If I copy something in a terminal with screens copy mode (Ctrl-a H Space Pagedown Space) how can I paste this in a Gnome app? When I do Ctrl-v I paste an url I copied earlier. |
|---|
| Gm4n | it's a software raid, not a harware raid |
|---|
| CodeWeaver | ah! |
|---|
| elik | can't I use slocate to find files larger than a certain size? |
|---|
| Gm4n | so anyway, mdadm.conf still defines my device md0, but /proc/mdstat doesn't show anything (nor does mdadm -D /dev/md0) |
|---|
| CodeWeaver | you could always pop them in a FreeNAS and rebuild the software RAID |
|---|
| Gm4n | well, the raid didn't fail, I just did a kernel update and it wasn't automatically created on reboot |
|---|
| Gm4n | no drive went bad |
|---|
