05:30.13 | scientes | needs a script |

05:30.22 | scientes | i allready copy in a fstab |

05:30.36 | pythonic | yeah, copy /etc/hosts as well |

05:32.04 | pythonic | the /proc/mounts and /proc/swaps are broken |
05:32.24 | scientes | wm4, firebug is best for getting rid of crap if it prevent you from interacting with the page |

05:32.52 | scientes | hmmyeah |
05:33.06 | pythonic | yeah, well /proc/{mounts,swaps} is broken there |
05:33.18 | pythonic | and /dev is a bitch to set up |
05:33.24 | scientes | anyways i really just apt-get what i want and then set up aentry in pxe and then boot off the net |
05:33.39 | scientes | cant you just bind /dev to the dev? |
05:33.41 | wm4 | and currently, I am on the official vendor's page for my mainboard/BIOS, and the only download links I see is some "updater" application which runs only under Windows |
05:33.44 | pythonic | scientes: depends.. |
05:33.55 | pythonic | do you want an independent syslog in the chroot env? |
05:34.30 | pythonic | syslog uses a socket /dev/log |
05:35.05 | scientes | now i know why chroot didnt evole into the virtualization way |
05:35.24 | pythonic | yeah /dev/log should really be at /var/run/log |

05:35.56 | pythonic | yeah, well you need /etc/mtab since /proc/mounts is fucked |
05:36.49 | pythonic | in the chroot env cat /proc/mounts will list all mounts (not just mounts in the chroot env) and will list the mounts in the chroot env without the full path to the env... |
05:36.58 | simonrvn | /dev/log should stay there... |

05:46.53 | Serraphyn | scientes, I'm in vista on this box so I'll have to run an RDP client/server thingy I think |
05:47.26 | scientes | Serraphyn, linux does not support RDP, it support VNC, but better is XDMCP which is the native and way faster mechanism |

05:48.43 | dpkg | You can run X11 apps over an ssh connection so that neither <xhost> nor X tcp support are necessary. Enable X11Forwarding *on the remote server* (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) and install xbase-clients (etch) or xauth (lenny) on both the client and the server. Then "ssh -X" from the client and run X apps on the remote machine. Authorisation is only given to your remote user to connect and $DISPLAY is set. Also ask me about <root x>. |

09:39.26 | NineTeen67Comet | Not even a hard drive flicker after the BIOS goes away. |
09:39.44 | Supaplex | neoice: is the partition type mislabled? or just the partition order? order shouldn't matter to grub. that's eaisly fixable. |

09:40.29 | Supaplex | cahoot: that only applies to install. right? no more after it's loading grub. |

09:42.07 | NineTeen67Comet | nsadmin: I used the minimal network install CD ROM. |
09:42.11 | ConSi | Doctor-Steve_: kernel boots into ramdisk before he loads ext3fs (or reiserfs) driver |
09:42.14 | Supaplex | cahoot: possibly, but grub can probe on boot, and with tab completion, we might figure out by hand. |
09:42.53 | cahoot | Supaplex: I won't interfere more |
09:42.53 | neoice | supaplex: I'm looking at one other issue that could be responsible. how would you fix the ordering issue? |
09:42.54 | NineTeen67Comet | nsadmin: I also changed the bios to ignor the CDROM now and go strait to the HDD(A) |
09:42.54 | nsadmin | Doctor-Steve_: causes the debian packages resulting from the make-kpkg to look at the user's machine to determine what drivers are involved in mounting root, and forming an image including those drivers |

10:05.16 | nsadmin | so grub-install does not do any stage1.5s? |
10:05.33 | codingrobot | it writes just 512 bytes to the MBR and after that grub gets its files from the linux partition |
10:06.30 | codingrobot | what do you mean by stage1.5 ? I assume stage1 is the bootstraping and stage2 is loading the menus, modules and other grub stuff |
10:06.33 | nsadmin | hmm. that means it does not chainload stage2? |

10:09.25 | nsadmin | stage1 is what goes on the mbr, stage2 is grub... stage2 can be placed on the chainload section of either (1) the whole drive or (2) a primary partition... stage1 acts like lilo, that is it has to have a way to address the thing it loads next, which is either a stage2 (aka full grub boot) or a stage1.5 (in which is stored a pathname to the stage2, which it loads using filesystem support) |

10:12.23 | nsadmin | stage1 can also boot a stage2 (or stage1.5) by doing what lilo did: store the sector references of all the sectors of the stage2 or 1.5, and load by paging those sectors into ram |

10:13.53 | nsadmin | so you still have that 1024 cylendar limitation, but instead of the kernel having to be there, it's the stage2 or 1.5... now, if grub-install places a stage1.5 in the chainload section, then stage2 can be a file |

11:09.18 | Gigantic | did you include the propper fs moules? |
11:09.43 | Gigantic | or the HD modules |
11:09.43 | Doctor-Steve_ | i dont know :( i just use my config from /boot/ then make oldconfig.... |
11:09.43 | nsadmin | right, you need that as well as the block driver |
11:09.56 | nsadmin | ok, good, |
11:10.01 | nsadmin | try --initrd |

11:10.18 | beardy | Doctor-Steve_: Like they said, IDE (or SATA or SCSI) drivers, filesystem modules, or no initrd. |

11:14.07 | nsadmin | you still didn't answer: same kernel version? |
11:14.12 | Doctor-Steve_ | that includes a ram-disk if i remember correctly |
11:14.24 | Doctor-Steve_ | different kernel version, thats why I thought i was meant to use make oldconfig |

11:19.56 | Doctor-Steve_ | so im guessing, try --intrd then... |
11:20.01 | nsadmin | yep |
11:20.07 | Doctor-Steve_ | nsadmin, asked a couple of things... |
11:20.10 | Doctor-Steve_ | ill give that a go tho |

11:20.37 | simonrvn | craigevil: i got used to aptitude quite fast. jumped into it you could say =). |
11:20.55 | Doctor-Steve_ | ill give that a go |
11:21.01 | Doctor-Steve_ | but it takes a good 40 mins to build a kernel :( |
11:21.13 | nsadmin | unless you changed the drivers from module to in-kernel, you need for the package to generate an initrd |
11:21.24 | Doctor-Steve_ | kk :) |
11:21.42 | dutchfish | !tell Doctor-Steve_ about ccache |
11:21.46 | nsadmin | Doctor-Steve_: if it takes a good 40 mins, then that's good, right? |
11:21.47 | craigevil | the one time i tried to use it i forgot i had a kde package on hold and aptitude wanted to pretty much remove kde, apt was smart enough to just hold the packages back it depended on |
11:21.51 | simonrvn | 40 min o_O |
11:21.57 | Doctor-Steve_ | so my make-kpkg command will look like this: make-kpkg --intrd --append-to-version=.030320 kernel_image |
11:22.04 | Doctor-Steve_ | yea... i dont care... 40 mins is nothing :P |

11:49.12 | Doctor-Steve_ | nsadmin, how? |

11:52.47 | simonrvn | jelly-home: oh my. there goes another dead install. |
11:52.58 | nsadmin | it builds a debian package with special instructions |

11:54.11 | Doctor-Steve_ | then if that fails check drivers... im guessing? |
11:54.20 | jelly-home | simonrvn: if my guess is correct and he only did that to satisfy build-depends, it's possible that only some libs are upgraded and a downgrade will be simple enough |
11:54.25 | nsadmin | then, the debian package continues by learning which modules are involved in mounting / |
11:54.49 | nsadmin | then, the debian package continues by building an initial ramdisk image that includes those modules |

13:00.34 | nsadmin | doudou: yes. that is the second column. |
13:00.35 | dutchfish | ouch,didnt realize that |
13:00.39 | FILLVAIO2 | is possible to downgrade [libc6] without any consequences? |
13:01.18 | nsadmin | FILLVAIO2: version of debian and version of libc6 are pretty intertwined |
13:01.26 | doudou | nsadmin, yes luckily someone show me to scroll into info a long time ago. Anyway i maintain that it is difficult and no as clear as needed |
13:02.10 | dondelelcaro | doudou: what abou tit is difficult? |
13:02.28 | d-b | !downgrade |
13:02.28 | dpkg | methinks downgrade is not possible with apt-get currently. No future support is anticipated. Some programs change the binary format of their files in a way that cannot be rolled back later, and package maintainer scripts provide ways to upgrade to new config file formats but not ways to downgrade. You can always try to downgrade a package using dpkg -i <olderversion.deb>. Also see <partial downgrade>, or <sdn> |
13:02.32 | doudou | Anyway you know that a human can recall only a limited number of words compared to the number of words he can reconize. I think that the doc is a mess for humans, for emacs i dont know but for humlans yes |
13:02.37 | nsadmin | doudou: didn't say this would be easy... reading technical documentation is a skill which is only improved by practice |

13:04.01 | nsadmin | doudou: so, what is it you're still not understanding about the second column? |
13:04.19 | nsadmin | FILLVAIO2: just install it from the package, why not? |
13:04.40 | doudou | dondelelcaro, because it is surprising that what is obviously important information : what is diosplayed on your screen is related to a sentence lost in a lot of other sentences |
13:05.06 | dondelelcaro | doudou: it's directly under the explanation of the -l option |
13:05.11 | doudou | seems that second colom means number of hard links |
13:05.21 | nsadmin | doudou: are you referring to your own understanding or understanding by the masses whose freedom you want to preserve? |
13:05.39 | FILLVAIO2 | <nsadmin> i have problem with suexec, which can be compiled with special options |
13:05.45 | nsadmin | doudou: yes. so, do you understand what that means? |
13:06.36 | simonrvn | wouldn't it be easier to move your web site to /var/www ? |
13:07.04 | doudou | nsadmin, i understand that i should search because i have now a keyword and a concept: hard links, but to often i must search a keyword that i cant imagine |
13:07.43 | dondelelcaro | in general, if you don't know what hard links are, you don't care about that column |
13:07.44 | FILLVAIO2 | <simonrvn> many sites and many inner links have been done |
13:08.26 | dondelelcaro | FILLVAIO2: so compile suexec with the options you need, or use apache2-suexec-custom or similar |
13:08.37 | dondelelcaro | FILLVAIO2: use dpkg-divert to divert suexec appropriately |
13:08.48 | nsadmin | FILLVAIO2 you can try the move... those links should not reach out of the dir they're in, rather they should be relative to that dir |
13:08.50 | doudou | you should try to convice yourself that there is work to do with doc, work to store it in a better way |
13:08.57 | nsadmin | any which are not will not work |
13:08.57 | simonrvn | i told him about suexec-custom yesterday... |
13:09.14 | neoice | what login manager would you recommend for use with non-GNOME/KDE systems?> |
13:09.25 | dondelelcaro | neoice: I use xdm, but it doesn't really matter. |
13:09.29 | simonrvn | none, or xdm |
13:09.54 | dondelelcaro | doudou: if we understand the documentation, we can't easily see the problems in it. patches are accepted. |
13:10.34 | dondelelcaro | doudou: expecting others to adapt documentation to make it easier for you to understand is a non starter |
13:10.38 | nsadmin | doudou: and if patches are accepted, you have a way to preserve freedom |
13:11.04 | doudou | dondelelcaro, in a computer point of view it is okay information is here, in a human point of view there are so many way to get lost, to feel that you wont be able to find doc, that even with it under your nose you cant see it, only because we are humans |
13:11.22 | FILLVAIO2 | <dondelelcaro> i can't, becouse i have installed incorrect libc6 version may be |
13:11.33 | d-b | doudou: .... google |
13:12.27 | doudou | dondelelcaro, i expect you to adapt documentation using with principle that is made for humans, so must take into account human features, most one is a man can reconize 10 times as may words he can remmember |
13:12.37 | dondelelcaro | FILLVAIO2: so fix it. |
13:12.53 | nsadmin | doudou: if you want to actually succeed, less arguing about what someone did wrong, more acknowledging what they did right, and more making specific requests how it can be improved |
13:13.16 | dondelelcaro | doudou: uh... I'm a human, and I understand it. If I didn't, I would ask questions, understand it, and file patches to improve it so that I could have understood it the first time. |
13:13.29 | dondelelcaro | well, at least, the last time I checked I was human |

13:28.01 | TwistOfFate | well i don't see why not Eulex...that should work. |

15:24.09 | max_____ | hello, I'm running lenny 64bit with a custom kernel 2.6.26.5. the intel p45 bridge has 2 velociraptor 150 gb devices attached, both set in a mdadm-raid1. since today, sda1 is removed from the array (F) - SMART says that sda and sdb contain errors: http://nopaste.com/p/aPq5AbJVr http://nopaste.com/p/aCB0h9LU - however I doubt that two new devices (09/2008) fail so quickly. is it possible that those errors are false positives? |

16:20.36 | faithfulgeek | twobitsprite: no, it says "no such file or directory before that" - I'm doing this because the installer refuses to find a cd drive, probably because the computer doesn't have one |
16:20.36 | aadil | Linus`, i think it's around 1800 |
16:20.37 | ruadh | Hi all |
16:20.39 | Linus` | how can you have a live with those much servers? |
16:20.42 | Linus` | life* |
16:21.06 | aadil | easy |
16:21.12 | aadil | am a lazy sysadmin |
16:21.17 | twobitsprite | faithfulgeek: will the system PXE boot, and do you have another system you can use to serve tftp/dhcp? |
16:21.21 | aadil | lazy = automate as much as possible |
16:21.31 | twobitsprite | aadil: that's not lazy, its just smart |
16:21.40 | aadil | and besides we're like 20 sysadmins to maintain those servers |
16:21.43 | Linus` | guessed that, but still 1800 servers are a lot |
16:21.46 | Linus` | ooh. |
16:21.49 | aadil | yes |

16:22.44 | twobitsprite | ruadh: why not aptitude install it? |
16:22.50 | aadil | twobitsprite, mostly debian - else there are red hat enterpise, centos, suse, solaris, os400 |

17:50.11 | VolVE | I'll give those a try, thanks! :) |
17:51.05 | \amethyst | people in #bash would kill me for suggesting ls, but GNU ls doesn't mangle its output when writing to a pipe so it should be fine |
17:51.36 | VolVE | so it /is/ safe or it isn't... ? :/ |
17:51.55 | \amethyst | it's safe with GNU ls |
17:52.14 | \amethyst | apparently ls on some other operating systems can mangle special characters in filenames even when writing to a pipe |

20:11.44 | jhambo | another question. I'm installing vbox in lenny.

20:14.30 | jhambo | ah I was just trying to put what it said in the channel because it was relevent to my prior question... |
20:14.58 | enouf | c_newbie: well a -686 system would see/use approx 3.2G of that, but using a -686-bigmem would see it all (up to 64G) |
20:15.07 | \amethyst | still |
20:15.17 | \amethyst | does Debian's 64-bit PHP really not have fork()? |
20:15.44 | enouf | jhambo: i see now .. ok |
20:16.03 | \amethyst | does this fail? php5 -r 'if(0 == ($pid = pcntl_fork())) { echo "child\n"; } else { echo "parent, child is $pid\n"; pcntl_wait($pid); }' |
20:16.12 | enouf | !vbox-install lenny |
20:16.13 | dpkg | To stop virtualbox complaining about having the wrong version of the kernel module, you will have to build your own using module-assistant: aptitude install module-assistant virtualbox-ose-source && m-a prepare && m-a a-i virtualbox-ose && modprobe -r vboxdrv && modprobe vboxdrv. Also keep an eye on bug http://bugs.debian.org/502375. |
20:16.41 | jhambo | ahh there we go |
20:16.41 | c_newbie | \amethyst: parent, child is 30914 |
20:16.41 | c_newbie | child |
20:16.50 | \amethyst | c_newbie: so fork is working |
20:17.05 | \amethyst | c_newbie: what program is giving you the error about pcntl_fork not being present? |
20:17.17 | enouf | jhambo: just follow the factoid as it is listed - all the way - then if issues occur, come back |
20:17.35 | jhambo | enouf: okay I'll give that a shot |
20:18.15 | enouf | jhambo: i'm thinking the 1st part of the factoid about wrong version is why you see m-a asking for source when you already have it |
20:18.39 | GuySoft | ah hell, nevermind.. something stuck a bad line in my ~/.bashr |
20:18.40 | c_newbie | \amethyst: it suppossed to work with other 64bit debian machine, well, it was really pain in the ass to make stream_select working under debian64 bit, and i have managed it. but now.. this problem shows up |
20:18.45 | enouf | jhambo: which is what the following steps (modprobe -r ... ) workaround |
20:19.10 | \amethyst | c_newbie: but where is the error message coming from? I don't think it's coming from PHP itself |
20:19.29 | c_newbie | \amethyst it is |

20:20.50 | \amethyst | you said the error was "The server requires pcntl_fork()" |
20:21.05 | \amethyst | that sounds like it is coming from some kind of server, not PHP itself |
20:21.08 | jhambo | enouf: so do those modprobe steps install it in such a way that I don't have to modprobe every time I reboot? forgive my ignorance of modules... |
20:21.10 | enouf | \amethyst: this is orig msg; <c_newbie> hi, i got error while i want to run php-cli under my debian etch 64bit: The server requires pcntl_fork() to work. Make sure you are running the server on a POSIX machine. |
20:21.20 | c_newbie | i've create a program with error report module, and the error report module shows me that log |
20:21.35 | \amethyst | okay, so maybe it's a problem with the error report module |
20:21.44 | c_newbie | this server.php should be a daemon |
20:21.51 | c_newbie | \amethyst: it work with other machine |
20:22.05 | c_newbie | this code is working from 4 years ago |
20:22.44 | enouf | jhambo: for loading modules at boot time, if an init.d script isn't used, or some other base thing like an initrd, which debian does use, you list modules one per line in /etc/modules if you need them loaded at boot time |
20:22.55 | c_newbie | or should i re-install the php it self? |
20:23.08 | okaratas | hello |

20:23.46 | jetscreamer | will write to /etc/modules for you so the modules will be autoloaded |
20:23.52 | jetscreamer | or just edit it yourself |
20:24.13 | c_newbie | \amethyst: the machine is debian etch amd64, i was trying to run stream_select() whereas on the default apt-get debian etch, it wont be running, it will make the looping process, 100% cpu usage |
20:24.14 | enouf | jhambo: yes, well as jetscreamer mentioned modinfo will tell you module info params/version/etc |

20:24.46 | c_newbie | \amethyst: this bug never been solved since 3 years ago |

20:25.02 | \amethyst | c_newbie: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42682 |
20:25.10 | \amethyst | c_newbie: that might be the stream_select problem |
20:25.10 | enouf | jetscreamer: i think you're thinking of when blacklisting |
20:25.31 | jetscreamer | i have a bug they just brought back recently with the change back from sd* to hd* |
20:25.51 | c_newbie | \amethyst: i know, its stream_select, other distro has fix this, but not debian |
20:25.57 | jhambo | enouf: hmmm after following the factoid directions, I don't seem to have any commands related to running virtualbox available. ah thanks for the modules info |
20:26.19 | jetscreamer | enouf: no modconf is a very simple no blacklisting able script... it's just it won't load the module if it's already loaded, so i would guess it wouldn't write the value either |

20:47.49 | johndoe | jetscreamer: it kept confusing me |
20:48.00 | nolimitsoya | johndoe, ia is itanium. not related to x86 at all |

20:48.12 | johndoe | or amd64? |
20:48.15 | jetscreamer | !amd64 |
20:48.16 | dpkg | amd64 is, like, the Debian architecture optimized for x86-64, aka AMD64. Consider using Debian i386 on x86-64 machines if you do not have a good reason to use Debian amd64. The amd64 architecture also supports running i386 debian with either a -686 or -amd64 kernel. core2duo machines are amd64. See http://www.debian.org/ports/amd64/ and the #debian-amd64 IRC channel. <why amd64> |

21:06.33 | octoserver | whats the difference between sfdisk and fdisk ? |
21:06.44 | jetscreamer | one is for scsi i 'think' |
21:06.50 | enouf | hit those man pages |
21:07.01 | sajes | Okay then. Mutt is sending my emails as attachments to people. For example, if I send an email that says "Hello" in what should be the body, it sends it as an attachment. |
21:07.02 | jetscreamer | and also 'probably' just a wrapper/frontend for fdisk |
21:07.03 | enouf | jetscreamer: not really - sdparm vs hdparm, yes |
21:07.07 | jetscreamer | ah |
21:07.10 | jetscreamer | nm then |
21:07.25 | jetscreamer | !info sfdisk |
21:07.31 | enouf | octoserver: sfdisk is a bit newer - also see cfdisk |
21:07.40 | octoserver | i did, and I can see there are a lot of different options, but i was more wondering why they made two that have similar names and are both partition manipulators. |
21:08.06 | enouf | octoserver: why are there so many dd versions? and parted versions? and ... |

21:11.47 | blubberdiblub | well, the biggest limitation of cfdisk is that it doesn't like when one partition ends after the virtual cylinder, head and sector values multiplied. which can happen when the actual size in blocks is bigger than that virtual value. but you can work around that by throwing a bigger number of cylinders at cfdisk - but then you have to take care not to place any partition into the space that doesn't actually exist |
21:12.16 | octoserver | I guess I usually ask because I like the answers you guys give that are based on more experience than I have. And reading the man page(I do read them) doesnt always lend itself to the practical answers that real experience can easily give :) |

21:13.54 | jetscreamer | yeah me too |

21:20.19 | blubberdiblub | octoserver, linux doesn't care too much about the cylinder head sector representation. some partitioning tools may do (like cfdisk), and some windows parts do (the boot loader of XP for instance) |

22:30.39 | twobitsprite | jetscreamer: are all of your packages from sid? |
22:30.46 | ErZo | it's Seg Faulting because it can't find .so's |
22:30.48 | jetscreamer | i've been liking konqueror latey though |
22:31.03 | jetscreamer | twobitsprite: a few testings, but not many |
22:31.27 | jetscreamer | some things just don't work in sid sometimes |
22:31.36 | jhambo | my wireless seems to periodically disconnect and after disconnecting it takes several tries to get it to reconnect. In my dmesg I see http://paste.debian.net/23624/. thoughts? |
22:31.39 | jetscreamer | and some upgrades, i don't like |
22:31.42 | twobitsprite | jetscreamer: also, just because it works on your box doesn't mean it will on everyone else's... he could have installed a different package which has dependancy problems and replaced a lib or something |

22:35.18 | jetscreamer | lately being a year or so... but i used to |
22:35.18 | ErZo | twobitsprite: and things usually work quite well in sid/unstable |
22:35.23 | jetscreamer | or so |
22:35.39 | twobitsprite | ErZo: not testing usually... right now maybe, because its frozen... that's why you run a mostly testing + some sid mixed system |
22:35.44 | ErZo | is there any dependency checking tools around? |
22:36.25 | ErZo | Like the 'revdep-rebuild' tool that's around from Gentoo (don't pick up your hayforks) |

22:37.05 | ErZo | nothing new |
22:37.05 | CutMeOwnThroat | twobitsprite, but if nobody runs "full sid" everything comes into testing without any... well, testing :) |
22:37.20 | ErZo | someone gotta have sum balls, eh |
22:37.36 | jetscreamer | that reminds me i need to lart the /dev/sda->/dev/hda guy |
22:37.58 | jetscreamer | make that that reminds me i need to lart the /dev/hda->/dev/sda->/dev/hda guy |
22:38.05 | CutMeOwnThroat | well, or all the guys running testing do indeed run unstable :) |
22:39.11 | CutMeOwnThroat | of course, there's probably a lot of people mixing sid into testing... if there's enough of them, that probably also gets 80% or so of the unstable packages tested |
22:39.40 | jetscreamer | <PROTECTED> |
22:39.41 | twobitsprite | CutMeOwnThroat: not true... the developers pull packages from sid to test them |
22:39.48 | jetscreamer | ^ i |
22:39.57 | twobitsprite | CutMeOwnThroat: but "testing" is for general, wider review testing |

22:40.32 | jetscreamer | yeah ok |
22:40.42 | ErZo | I don't know what I did that fixed the issues, but it works now anyhow |
22:40.46 | twobitsprite | Sid for making sure dependancies/etc are mostly resolved without conflicts |
22:40.50 | jetscreamer | it was me! |
22:40.55 | ErZo | shotgun debugging for the win |
22:40.59 | ErZo | sure as hell wasn't |
22:41.01 | ErZo | sorry jetscreamer ;) |
22:41.02 | jetscreamer | :) |
22:41.13 | jetscreamer | i used all my mental powers |
22:41.22 | ErZo | ah, heh - thanks ;) |
22:41.44 | CutMeOwnThroat | would be good to have some semi-stable after testing... everything that would fulfill requirements for stable could go there... might be a bit difficult in details, though |
22:41.48 | jetscreamer | do you have /usr on a seperate partition? |
22:42.01 | jetscreamer | separate |
22:42.12 | twobitsprite | CutMeOwnThroat: like a rolling stable? I've often thought that |
22:42.36 | jetscreamer | testing seems semi stable to me ... (aka boring) |
22:42.46 | jetscreamer | once you go sid you can never go back |
22:42.54 | CutMeOwnThroat | twobitsprite, kind of... that would also get release times down |

23:46.41 | GeoMus | can any one give a an easy guide how to compile a module into my current kernel without make full kernel compile ?? |
23:46.56 | Flashtek | jpinx: why they didn't want the other server done at the same time i'll never know.. |
23:47.10 | DeathWolf | enouf: sadly not an optical drive, (it's an hdd), and tried nice/ionice'ing but ionice means cfq and the perfs of cfq have been horribly bad here. And even in ionice -c3 when there were 2 processes trying to fill buffer the load skyrocketed |
23:47.18 | DeathWolf | going to check linux containers though |
23:47.22 | DeathWolf | thanks for the info |

23:51.38 | Circuitsoft | I'm now getting "Invalid module format" from a module built against said tree. |
23:52.36 | Circuitsoft | (Specifically, fglrx) |
23:52.56 | Circuitsoft | But I'm a little afraid to rebuild it in case I break something else. |
23:53.10 | Circuitsoft | (For some reason, my rt73usb is pretty fragile on this computer) |
23:55.12 | sajes | Hmm. Think someone should make a decent lynx article for dpkg? |
