| Azar | MrWup: to me it does not sound well such a low kernel with testing... but eh, let's assume "it works" |
| MrWup | Azar, how do i get a higher kernel? |
| \amethyst | netman2: in Debian the run levels are in /etc/rc?.d |
| nvz | drugs.. |
| Azar | MrWup: easy: apt-cache search linux-image-........... for your cpu architecture. Look on the list and check for 2.6.18 kernel specific for your cpu |
| \amethyst | netman2: The default run level is 2 |
| Azar | MrWup: note it down then: aptitude install linux-image-2.6.18-xxxxxxxxxxxx < the entire line you find suitable |
| nvz | is there some kind of command line that will change my resolution in X like the Ctrl+Alt +/- ? so I can like make an icon or applet to do this? |
| azeem | nvz: there's a Gnome applet for this |
| Azar | MrWup: that kernel should come to find your sound modules |
| nvz | hmm.. I'll check my gnome-panel |
| \amethyst | azeem: isn't that xrandr? |
| pablo_ | hi, can i open office open xml files? |
| \amethyst | azeem: that's different from ctrl-alt-+/- nvz: I have a program, hold on |
| MrWup | linux-image-2.6.18-4-486 - Linux 2.6.18 image on x86 sound right? im on an intel system |
| \amethyst | MrWup: 686 |
| nvz | azeem: I don't see it in my list of applets *shrug* |
| Azar | MrWup: I am not sure if 486 .... rather 686 |
| MrWup | ah, linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 - Linux 2.6.18 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 |
| Azar | yep, "aptitude install" that one |
| netman2 | \amethyst thanks for clearing up that dir. I think I am getting more confused. I read that the default run level was 2 in the last lesson from the inittab "I think". I see this is alot of memory work. |
| MrWup | ok well its churning away |
| Azar | then reboot and hang with \azeem > me goes to lunch :) |
| wols | nvz: you could write a script that editos xorg.conf |
| MrWup | and installing ok thanks |
| Azar | errr no... with \amethyst ... (sorry azeem) |
| nvz | wols: na I dont want to restart the server I just want to be able to zoom in without using the keyboard |
| \amethyst | nvz: http://s-z.org/neil/progs/xf86vidmode.c |
| MrWup | Azar, shit its removing all my packages it will put them back right? |
| netman2 | am I band? |
| MrWup | aptitude is doing package theft |
| netman2 | \amethyst does the sticky bit have something to do with runlevels? lol sorry about that, wrong slash got me confused. |
| \amethyst | netman2: sticky bit on directories means only the owner of a file can remove that file |
| Pobega | MrWup: I don't think it will put them back automatically. What packages is it removing? |
