| sevier | jmarsden: ok I am going to kill it by the way ,,,, yes and exactly the same about ristricted codecs |
|---|
| NathanW | what i'm woundering is there any way that the raid0 system could be like "locked" in to that mode via a chip on the hdd or flags on the discs? that would cause it to fail when you try and format it... cause thats exactly how its acting but if thats the case how can i work aroudn this ? as the old system is no longer around eg went to the recycle bin about a 4 days ago when i pulled the drives ... :-\ |
|---|
| jmarsden | NathanW: Boot from a LiveCD, and dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/WHATEVER bs=1k count=1k each hard drive in the system. After that the drives are unlikely to "remember" anything much about an older partitioning scheme .. so if something does remember, it is the hardware RAID controller. |
|---|
| jmarsden | Note that this *will* destroy data on these drives. |
|---|
| NathanW | sweet! ya hopefully it WILL destroy data and everythign in my way |
|---|
| NathanW | i just really dont get the issue any other server would be like bam hdds here i'm up install install install reboot working but they hada get a compaq LOL |
|---|
| NathanW | is the debian netinst iso a live cd? |
|---|
| lost_soul | NathanW: no, it's for installs |
|---|
| Bushmills | well, you can alt-f2 switch to a console with terminal |
|---|
| Bushmills | so in a way it is a live cd |
|---|
| NathanW | would that allow me to do a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/WHATEVER bs=1k count=1k ? |
|---|
| Bushmills | yes |
|---|
| Bushmills | (hope that more recent netinst still do) |
|---|
| NathanW | i got a couple old netinst disks :-) too |

| Afshin | Hi to all |

| Afshin | Can any one speek about TC 9 |

| Afshin | Can any one speek about TC (traffic control) in debian |

| jpinx-eeepc | Can I give one user (me) specific permission to mount a filesystem-in-a-file to a mount point in his home dir as with -o loop , but without using su or sudo ? The intention is to make it workable in the pcmanfm filemanager gui window. |
|---|
| nevyn | yes |
|---|
| nevyn | vi /etc/fstab /pathtofile /home/user/mountpoint filesystemtype defaults,loop,user 0 0 |
|---|
| jpinx-eeepc | nevyn: thanks, that's one way, but the /path/to/file varies as it is on a usb stick :/ |
|---|
| nevyn | jpinx-eeepc: dear god why? |
|---|
| nevyn | jpinx-eeepc: it's programming for sparkies. and they still make a mess of it. |
|---|
| jpinx-eeepc | it's complicated ;) |
|---|
| nevyn | it's not complicated it's DRAWING programs. |
|---|
| jpinx-eeepc | it's an ext3 fs in a file on a vfat stick so that windox users can not easily read it |
|---|
| jpinx-eeepc | nevyn: I'll take a look at udev naming rules maybe... ;) |
|---|
| nevyn | the wikipedia page for it expresses what I'm saying perfectly. |
|---|
| nevyn | which of the following is easier to understand? |
|---|
| nevyn | 1. ----[ ]---------|--[ ]--|------( ) |
|---|
| nevyn | X | Y | S |
|---|
| nevyn | | | |
|---|
| nevyn | |--[ ]--| |
|---|
| nevyn | Z |

| nevyn | bleh or S = X AND ( Y OR Z ) |

| nevyn | ok. |

|---|
| hacker_kid | ok this cant be a coincidence. i have two almost identical machines (old hp Vectia VE's) that stop after detecting hardware and say they couldnt mount the cd, all other machines (so far 5 similarly powered boxes) install fine off the same disk (lenny) any ideas? |

| bolt-work | my screenshot says differently |
|---|
| KineticBug | or was it the 06? |
|---|
| smv | aldin, use gconf-editor, and change /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons |

| avar | Hi. I have some "The following partially installed packages will be configured:" (grub grub-pc |
|---|
| avar | (sorry for the newline) ..but I can't install them due to limitations on the VPS, how do I remove them so that they're not partially installed anymore (and just use the old version) |
|---|
| avar | I can block them from being upgraded again with apt pinning, but that doesn't help me with a package that's ready for configuration |
|---|
| datacrusher | hello everyone. i have a debian file server with samba, and its kinda old machine. I wanna install a new pc that i got here and migrate my current server to this one, is there a straight forward method to duplicate my server without lost its configuration? |

| datacrusher | im using debian lenny, updated from etch, 64 version |
|---|
| avar | copy over its configuration files and test it? |
|---|
| datacrusher | this server got 2 years, i will migrate to prevent hardware failure |

| vadi | What is the package to install a shell which is able to auto-hide its window when mouse focus is out? |
|---|
| d3x | vadi, yakuake? |
|---|
| bbd | you mean focus-follows-mouse feature? |
|---|
| vadi | bbd, I want a shell box with when I move mouse to top of window it show, and else it hides |
|---|
| vadi | thanks d3x, I am going to try that to check if it is what I am looking for |
|---|
| Bop | datacrusher, u can use some app like norton ghost |
|---|
| xx1 | if you mean "hide"=="inactive" |
|---|
| Bop | there's some Open source apps to replicate OS |
|---|
| xx1 | or focussed |
|---|
| d3x | Bop, you mean disk dump? |
|---|
| Bop | there's a live cd to do that |
|---|
| rgroid | hide never means inactive. hide means non visible. |
|---|
| Bop | cant remember name , but i think its not that , d3x |
|---|
| Tsakos | wow, lot's of people :D |
|---|
| Bop | well , dd should do the trick , with some hacks |
|---|
| vadi | rgroid, yep, I mean non visible |
|---|
| Tsakos | I'm trying to help a friend with a sound card problem he has. |
|---|
| Tsakos | but i don't really understand much from the dmesg output |
|---|
| Tsakos | the output is here: http://pastebin.com/VyuX8XjL if someone wants to help |
|---|
| lvh | hey |
|---|
| bbd | Tsakos: everything looks good. are you sure mixer levels are ok and not muted? |
|---|
| lvh | I just installed testing on my laptop. Just installed X; neither pointer input device works. Get the following error on boot; maybe related: kernel-provided name 'uinput' and NAME= 'input/uinput' disagree |
|---|
| lvh | That's from udev-work. |
|---|
| lvh | Bug reports appear to suggest bug is harmless and just a warning, so maybe unrelated. |
|---|
| lvh | cat /dev/input/mouse1 and /dev/input/mouse2 work fine. |

| krion | i got a sas card (amcc powerpc ppc405cr), i can't manage to get debian installer seen my hard drive |
|---|
| datacrusher | bbd, but i need to install the system again, im having a space shortage problem with my / folder |
|---|
| datacrusher | didnt separated /var from it, and created a very small size, im 98% with it |
|---|
| datacrusher | i think the best sollution is to do a fresh install and copy configuration files to the new machine |
|---|
| Tsakos | bbd: thanks for helping out. |
|---|
| Tsakos | bbd: but as he said me, sometimes sound work, sometimes not. |
|---|
| bbd | datacrusher: i'm against reinstalling, it's windows way. you can simply copy over files using cp/tar or partimage or some other partition/copy tool (can't remember). |
|---|
| bbd | datacrusher: otherwise you'll have to hunt every missing config file, every package, user etc.. |
|---|
| bbd | Tsakos: "sometimes does not work" - that's really helpful :) |
|---|
| Tsakos | bbd: he restarted, and now all works fine. |
|---|
| jelly-one | Tsakos: if you're using ubuntu, ask in #ubuntu please |
|---|
| lvh | Whoops, wrong cable. Sorry if anyone responded while I vanished |
|---|
| krion | looks like it's indeed a 3ware 9690SA-4l, any review ? |
|---|
| aleray | hi, how can I find out what keymap I'm using ? (now that xorg.conf is gone) |
|---|
| jelly-one | krion, which debian release are you trying to install? |
|---|
| bbd | krion: i have this 9690SA-4I on one of servers. no complaints.. |
|---|
| datacrusher | bbd, hmmm well, actually this installation is working. is there a way to simply create the partitions there and do a straight copy? how do i map the mounting partitions after? |
|---|
| Tsakos | jelly-one: well, isn't debian and ubuntu the same? |
|---|
| jelly-one | Tsakos: the answer is quite obvious, isn't it. No, they're not, else there'd be only one of those. |
|---|
| krion | jelly-one: lenny amd64, with a squeeze debian installer IIRC |
|---|
| krion | but doesn't see the hard drive |
|---|
| Tsakos | thanks anyway.. |
|---|
| krion | i supposed it's a 9690SA as it's what's marked on the invoice, but i see nothing on the card |
|---|
| jelly-one | krion, hm. So that's a fresh enough kernel on that installer. Have you tried the installer from /msg dpkg kmuto |
|---|
| bbd | datacrusher: hundreds of ways.. for example connect both HDDs and boot from live CD. mount old one on /mnt1, partition the new one as you wish, mount the whole structure on /mnt2. do cp -a /mnt1/* /mnt2 |
|---|
| krion | jelly-one: no, i'm using pxe with debian official d-i |
|---|
| bbd | datacrusher: then have to play with bootloader which you're using. again easiest way would be to remove old hdd, live CD has some option like 'boot from first hdd', use it. then rerun lilo/grub/whatever |
|---|
| bbd | datacrusher: also check packages like partimage or fsarchiver, it could help |
|---|
| jelly-one | krion, you can't boot from local media? |
|---|
| krion | jelly-one: i could, but that's not the procedure i've to apply :D |
|---|
| krion | i'll try again, thanks |
|---|
| jelly-one | !d-i |
|---|
| dpkg | 5.0 lenny is now the "stable" Debian release (Feb 14, 2009). See http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/ for images.

| Extreme-Dpup-484 | i mounted a hard drive to a folder /media/harddisk How do i give that folder write permission? |
|---|
| jelly-one | Extreme-Dpup-484, which filesystem is used there? |
|---|
| Extreme-Dpup-484 | ext3 |
|---|
| passwordoff | Where to find the manual about netinst installation? |
|---|
| jelly-one | Extreme-Dpup-484: normal unix permissions apply then. Use chown and chmod at your discretion. |
|---|
| jelly-one | !tell passwordoff about i-g |
|---|
| Extreme-Dpup-484 | so just chmod the folder as rw.. Is there a quick temporary method to make it writable? |
|---|
| Extreme-Dpup-484 | i want this writable: /media/harddisk (mounted to hdc1) |
|---|
| jelly-one | Extreme-Dpup-484, writable for which user? the simplest thing is to chown the mount point to that user. |
|---|
| jelly-one | (Extreme-Dpup-484, do that after it's mounted) |
|---|
| Extreme-Dpup-484 | it's already mounted.. Can i chown that from the console, or do i edit some file? |
|---|
| jelly-one | Extreme-Dpup-484, a terminal window is typically sufficient, and remember to do it as root |
|---|
| bbd | :) |
|---|
| jelly-one | !tell Extreme-Dpup-484 about permissions |
|---|
| Extreme-Dpup-484 | i ran out of disk space on my hard drive...Trying to expand my home directory by symlinking a folder within to a second hard drive.. |

| jeff_hann | panfist, what package? |
|---|
| panfist | slapd |
|---|
| panfist | pardon me for asking in #debian when it's actually an ubuntu specific question, but really it's a dpkg/aptitude question...why is the package reporting successful installation when these files are missing? |
|---|
| jeff_hann | panfist, so are you running ubuntu? |
|---|
| panfist | yes |
|---|
| jeff_hann | panfist, #ubuntu |
|---|
| panfist | there's no #dpkg, #APT, ... |
|---|
| panfist | really i want to know: why would a pacakge install quietly without installing all the files that are in it? |

| dpkg | Your distribution may be based on and have software in common with Debian, but it is not Debian. We don't know what changes were made by your distribution and it probably falls short of Debian's standards. #debian only supports Debian; you should respect our choice to volunteer here to help Debian users. Support other distributions is off-topic on #debian, even if your own distro's channel is clueless or non-existent. |
