| king_crimson | thanks stew i'll try that its already set to "no" |
| abrotman | zinx: hopefully someone just starts making bins at the grocer or something |
| king_crimson | should it be yes? |
| stew | king_crimson: is your timezone 5 hours off from UTC? |
| arraista | it seems like etch won't detect my old network card, but sarge did... *sigh* |
| king_crimson | yeah i'm central which i set during install |
| abrotman | i'm a bit off to the right :) |
| turffy | !xconfig |
| dpkg | i guess xconfig is for kernels in the 2.4 series and earlier, apt-get install tk8.3, or for 2.6 and newer kernels, apt-get install libqt-dev (woody) or libqt3-mt-dev (sarge or sid), or for GNOME-heads, see gconfig |
| abrotman | !drxx |
| dpkg | To reconfigure your X server, run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg as root. If you're not using Xorg (sarge or earlier), dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, and ask me about xmd5sum if you've changed XF86Config-4 yourself. |
| phogg | abrotman: eastern? conservative? |
| abrotman | eastern :) |
| phogg | ah, the One True Timezone. |
| Brian_R | The One True Timezone -- GMT :) |
| rahul | one timezone to rule them all |
| Zvpun | how can I check the root filesystem without shutting it down, fsck says I should not check it because its mounted. |
| abrotman | you can't ? |
| Zvpun | it doesnt even seem to have a check-readonly option |
| phogg | Zvpun: you can remount the filesystem as readonly, but even that probably wont let you fsck it |
| turffy | !libqt3-mt-dev |
| torrr | what are the numbers next to sockets in /proc/<pid>/fd ? for instance: lrwx------ 1 root root 64 2007-04-21 19:43 3 -> socket:[75114] the 75114 |
| rahul | bah |
| markit | ! sources |
| dpkg | sources is probably /etc/apt/sources.list is the file which stores a list of repositories that apt-get/aptitude use for downloading packags. "man sources.list" for a description of its format. If you are using sarge/stable you can use apt-setup to alter this file, also ask me about <mirrors>, <apt-setup>, <apt-spy> |
| rahul | assbadger |
| markit | ! mirrors |
| dpkg | from memory, debian mirrors is use apt-setup if you are running sarge, or at http://www.debian.org/mirror/list or ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors.txt or http://www.debian.org/mirrors/ to make a mirror, or ask me about <apt-spy> |
| turffy | !apt-spy |
| dpkg | i guess apt-spy is a secret! Shh!, or like 'mirror, mirror, on the wall... who is the fastest of them all?' :: apt-get install apt-spy; apt-spy update; apt-spy -d [stable,testing,unstable] -a [Africa,Asia,Europe,North-America,Oceania,South-America] :: when this finishes it will automatically write to your sources.list so if you have other mirrors there you'll have to "cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.mybak" and fix your sources.list |
| Dark_Apostrophe | Is it possible for a package licensed under Creative Commons to enter Debian's official repos? |
| rahul | I should start charging bands to become my friend on myspace |
| turffy | !libqt3-mt-dev |
| phogg | rahul: that'll learn 'em. |
