| jamesuk | then chroot? |
|---|
| Titan8990 | jamesuk, yes |
|---|
| Titan8990 | jamesuk, well, did you mount proc the first time? |
|---|
| Titan8990 | jamesuk, also give this a try: mount -t none proc /mnt/proc |
|---|
| Titan8990 | jamesuk, prior to chroot |
|---|
| dmz | nm.,..it was nscd interfering with it |
|---|
| jamesuk | Titan8990: I think I mounted /proc the first time. However, I've just chroot'ed with out the "mount -t none proc /mnt/proc". |
|---|
| Titan8990 | yeah, you can chroot without either one, but may have trouble doing things |
|---|
| jamesuk | OK, I will reboor again and try. But in the mean time I've just tried re-installing the linux-image and it didn't work. Rebooting now. |
|---|
| jamesuk | Titan8990: "mount -t none proc /mnt/proc" failed with error "mount: Mounting proc/ on /mnt/proc/ failed: No such device" |
|---|
| jamesuk | Looking at the console / proc is there and it contains a number of entries. So amd consused why it didn't mount. |
|---|
| Titan8990 | jamesuk, sorry, but I have to run now |
|---|
| Titan8990 | jamesuk, I suggest moving over to #debian on irc.freenode.net |
|---|
| jamesuk | Titan8990: Thanks for all your help. |
|---|
| Titan8990 | jamesuk, np, I will still be around just need to get some work done |

| rufensis | After an update yesterday I now have a networking problem. I can longer connect to the ubuntu machine I use as a media server. The machine that was updated runs lenny with a 2.6.30 kernel. Basically where I used to see the mount for the ubuntu machine, all I see now is Windows Network and when I click on it I am prompted for a password - only none of mine work. |
|---|
| Titan8990 | rufensis, where did you get the .30 kernel for lenny? |
|---|
| Event-Horizon | Q |
|---|
| rufensis | Titan8990: I messed up above. I'm actually using Squeeze. The kernel I got some time ago. Backports? I think. I did not have to compile it myself. |
|---|
| Titan8990 | rufensis, what protocol is the media server running? cifs? |
|---|
| rufensis | Titan8990: it has libsmbclient installed. Is that what you mean? |
|---|
| Titan8990 | rufensis, how do you access the media server? |
|---|
| rufensis | Titan8990: always through a linksys router, and the sever is connected to it by ethernet. The laptop client used to connect through wireless and ethernet, both machine's devices are managed by network manager. |
|---|
| Titan8990 | rufensis, there are tons of file transfer protocols... you could be uses SMB/CIFS, FTP, HTTP, avahi, or any number of different methods of accessing files on a different server |
|---|
| Titan8990 | rufensis, which do you use? |
|---|
| rufensis | Titan8990: how can I query that from my system? I have never had to adjust anything to either machine. They both just worked together and discovered each other before. |

| sniffer | Hi All. Any powerpc experts out there? I'm experiencing strange framebuffer and keyboard problems on an IBM 44p-170 after upgrading. |
|---|
| faheem | anyone know why debhelper does that and what it means? |
|---|
| Titan8990 | faheem, does what? |
|---|
| faheem | Titan8990: 12:17 -!- mode/#debian [+l 391] by debhelper |
|---|
| faheem | what's it doing? |
|---|
| rufensis | Titan8990: I am almost sure I am using smb for the protocol. I can at least see shares on the laptop client when I click on networks on the ubuntu machine. It shows a Print share on the debian laptop and under properties "smb://" in the location. |
|---|
| faheem | for clarity, i'm referring to debhelper the channel bot :-) |
|---|
| metalqga | faheem raises the limit for users who can join the #? |
|---|
| themill | faheem: changing the limit to the number of people in the channel -- preventing bot floods |
|---|
| Titan8990 | rufensis, I don't use SMB/CIFS, nor do I know much about it |
|---|
| Titan8990 | rufensis, when you upgraded did it alter your /etc/smb.conf or w/e it is? |
|---|
| rufensis | Titan8990: not that I know of |
|---|
| rufensis | Titan8990: what do you use? |
|---|
| Titan8990 | rufensis, NFS or http/webdav |
|---|
| Titan8990 | avahi looks interesting but I have got around to trying it |
|---|
|
|
| rufensis | Titan8990: I used to use NFS and then a year ago or so on an older machine I was having trouble and someone in this forum told me NFS was obsolete. NFS-common is installed on my laptop. |
|---|
| Joshd1910 | can sum1 tell me where i can learn to use debian? |
|---|
| themill | !grounding |
|---|
| dpkg | Before asking in here or on the debian-user mailing list, you should read the Installation Guide, or if you already have Debian installed, the Debian Reference. Ask me about <ig>, <reference>, <docs>, <manuals>, <fundamentals>, <newbiedoc>, <refcard>, <faq>, <unix lessons>, <general cli tutorial>. (e.g. in your IRC client, type /msg dpkg reference) |
|---|
| jamesuk | Titan8990: I managed to get some where with my problems. I needed to mount /dev/pts, then aptitude purge linux-image and then re-installed. The system will boot to grub but I just need to work out how to enter the phasephrase to decrypt the LVM. Looks like I need to add some additional info to grub menu.lst. Thanks for the help. |
|---|
| Titan8990 | jamesuk, good to hear |
|---|
| Titan8990 | rufensis, FTP is also "obsolete" |
|---|
| Titan8990 | rufensis, but you see how widely used that is |
|---|
| Titan8990 | nothing compares to FTP or NFS speed |
|---|
| rufensis | Titan8990: True. Do you know if nfs and smb interfere with each other. Do I need to strip my systems of smb to make nfs work? I wouldn't mind having the "Windows network" icon gone. |
|---|
| Joshd1910 | would getting rid of windows be a good idea? |

|---|
| fdutra | i understand, so why do you use custom kernels? |

|---|
| fdutra | you can use the linux like you use the windows ... no have fear |
|---|
| fdutra | mine is working ... cntrl + alt + f(number) |
|---|
| dk | fdutra: you need to compile the kernel , as per my knowledge in debian it was default in bf2.4 kernel |

| icarus | Anyone got some pointers on how to deal with an unresponsive laptop keyboard during installation ? I can plug in a USB keyboard but that way I won't know if the keyboard (on the laptop) will ever work. Any general tips/pointers ? (Specifically, it's a Macbook Pro 5,1 unibody) |
|---|
| kop | icarus: All I know is that there are settings for keyboard detection, somewhere. |
|---|
| icarus | kop: what do you mean ? |
|---|
| icarus | Perhaps I should elaborate a little. The keyboard works in the initial boot menu, but as soon as the kernel is loaded and the ncurses menus take over, the keyboard is unresponsive. |
|---|
| kop | icarus: There are parameters you can pass to the kernel that have something to do with the keyboard, and there's also something in /etc/console* (maybe) that does something as well. But I don't know what. So, the answer is 'maybe'. |
|---|
| locklace | icarus: installation of what |
|---|
| babilen | icarus: you could also try the graphical installer. It might work there. |
|---|
| icarus | I think I'm going to start building a list of kernel parameters and going from there :) |
|---|
| kop | icarus: This page http://www.odi.ch/prog/macbookpro/index.php says a firmware update will help. (But I don't know if it's for a 5.1) |
|---|
| icarus | kop: thanks :) But it seems to be the older MBP's (4 point something) based on the picture he included of his laptop |
|---|
| kop | icarus: It might possibly have to do with this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515866 |
|---|
| icarus | Might be, but I'm leaning a bit for this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953995. Someone posted that his laptop (a vostro, though) exhibited the same problems until he configured things to pass this kernel parameter. But it doesn't seem to work, I don't know if your link will either as some talk of Macbook 2,1 which is about as different from my Macbook 5,1 as any other laptop ;) I guess I'll have to find a USB harddrive to m |
