| abrotman | Cheef-Daniel: glad i could help Insolit: you're running part sarge part etch |
| Guerin | Insolit: change `stable' to `sarge' or to `etch' if that's what you want to use |
| Szeraax | Is there a way to use the etch *now stable. YAY* install disc and install grub without installing etch? |
| Cheef-Daniel | I wish I know what this was |
| abrotman | Cheef-Daniel: there was a cat in your tubez |
| Insolit | thanks abrotman and Guerin |
| Cheef-Daniel | yesterday the same thing |
| googletroll | how do i install a package? |
| abrotman | man dpkg or man apt-get |
| asg | googletroll: aptitude install <pkg> |
| abrotman | or man aptitude |
| action | googletroll jokes |
| googletroll | jokes |
| markybob | oh that's hilarious so much so you set off my heart monitor, you bastard |
| asg | markybob: you hooked your heart monitor to irc? |
| mfrisch | markybob: better than your defibulator |
| markybob | mfrisch: heh |
| Szeraax | anyone know? I want to use the debian install disc to install grub and not re-install debian. can i do it from the commnand line of the installer? |
| mfrisch | !fix mbr |
| action | dpkg takes mbr to the vet for a "special" visit. |
| dpkg | takes mbr to the vet for a "special" visit. |
| mfrisch | uhm |
| asg | !fixmbr |
| dpkg | So you installed windows after debian, huh? Tssk. Boot to your debian install disk or whatever else you have, switch to the other console (alt-f2), then mount your root filesystem (mount -t ext2 /dev/whatever /target ; mount --bind /dev /target/dev ), then chroot into it (chroot /target) then run "mount /proc ; grub-install /dev/hda && update-grub" |
| Szeraax | fix mbr when? ah |
| markybob | probably ext3, though. if you installed with etch although i guess it doesnt matter |
| Szeraax | then my grub will detect then have deb, Backtrack, and win? right? of course |
| k-man | has anyone ever heard of or seen a product for timing an irrigation system that is tcp/ip enabled? |
| Szeraax | that would be cool i bet it wouldnt be too hard to do... |
| Cheef-Daniel | do you know why outgoing traffic is blocked on my rootserver between 1:00am and 4:00am? a serial rescue console is the only thing to establish a connection at this times |
| k-man | Szeraax, yeah.... i need to set one up for my mum... and I can't be arsed having to go down stairs to adjust it |
| asg | k-man: if thte irrigation system outputs information in a consistent way, some quick Perl-Fu should do the trick. |
| k-man | asg, no, it just needs to control solenoids to do the watering |
| Szeraax | i agree with asg, |
| k-man | asg, turn them off and on is all |
