04:13.46 | Wyzard | To scan all three of my 750GB drives it took 8 or 9 hours |
04:13.56 | Wyzard | That's not really a question of how fast the tool is, it's how fast the drives are |
04:14.23 | davidL | Does SeaTools check every sector? |
04:14.30 | Wyzard | If you do a full scan, yes |
04:15.08 | Wyzard | As I understand it, it's actually an internal self-test procedure in the drive's firmware, which is probably more thorough than just going through and reading and writing each sector once |
04:15.20 | Wyzard | SeaTools just sends the drive the command to start the self-test, and monitors its progress |

05:46.04 | stew | tenzind: aptitude install xorg |
05:46.04 | dpkg | if you have a problem XFree86 it not finding 'fixed' font, see fonts.alias, or /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz, or make sure xfonts-base is installed, or purge and reinstall it, or see fontfix, or if you are having trouble with xorg r7, see http://wiki.debian.org/Xorg69To7, or a bad remix of a good ep |
05:46.48 | rbwsam | ok so four says its failed to install xserver-xorg |
05:47.20 | rbwsam | im pretty sure my install DVD is a clean burn |
05:47.42 | stew | !no fixed font is if X is complaining about "finding font 'fixed'" you don't have the xfonts-base package. usually this means you want to "aptitude install xorg" |

12:59.45 | l1nux | ok, Thanks MoDaX :) |
12:59.50 | A-L-A-R-M | i see its on the unstable , should i add the unstable repository maybe ? or its also risky ? |

13:00.47 | A-L-A-R-M | i will, but as i said. adding the unstable repo , can cause me problems ? |
13:00.49 | LightKnight | one thing you could do is to add the repo, then: apt-get update && apt-get -s install audacity/unstable |

13:05.27 | sn0 | backports are made for _etch_ |
13:05.28 | MoDaX | A-L-A-R-M: but you can backport (recompile) the package |

13:17.58 | abrotman | !meaning of stable |
13:17.58 | dpkg | ok, listen up. "Stable" in debian terminology means "doesn't change". Stable is stable. Unstable, by definition is not, unless you don't update it, which means you're not up-to-date with security fixes. Either way, you're wrong, and you sound stupid, and you're giving a false impression of what sid is REALLY like. See <sid evangelism>. http://www.us.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-getting.en.html#s-updatestable |

19:31.46 | Ronin | ndee: same as you would locally but just a bit more riskier |
19:32.02 | ndee | Ronin: yeah, it IS a little bit riskier :D |
19:32.23 | sepski | ndee, upgreades are allways done over ssh. console is just for when things have broken :) |
19:32.24 | sam_ | xingu, knoppix installed on hd (from another person, i think before the error appeared) does also hang at the udev thing |
19:32.45 | ndee | sepski: hehe |
19:33.06 | ndee | if that server runs with kernel 2.4, do you guys think that 2.6 will also support all the hardware? |
19:33.37 | sam_ | xingu, so i think there is more rotten than the debian installer (i don't know it THIS installer is rotten...) |

19:34.51 | xingu | sam_: yes, I agree; I'm guessing that it's a kernel issue with the kernel on the installer cd |
19:35.00 | quitte | sam_: I have seen the mini-pci nic in a t21 cause trouble before. That guy eventually replaced it |
19:35.17 | somian | Cruddo. |
19:35.34 | xingu | sam_: and my money would be on some pci<->pci<->peripheral funkiness |
19:35.40 | somian | I have to build a kernel module from source: http://code.ximeta.com/trac-ndas/wiki/HowToBuildDEB |
19:35.48 | sam_ | quitte, is it difficult to unscrew it? |
19:36.15 | somian | First they say to build an rpm using rpmbuild then convert it to a deb using alien. Fine, but the rpmbuild step fails |
19:36.16 | sam_ | xingu, so you think i should try to debootstrap from knoppix? |
19:36.19 | quitte | sam_: if the x21 is like the t21 it's pretty much trivial. |

20:04.32 | Wyzard | Azar: A fresh install of etch wouldn't have any OSS modules in use |
20:04.46 | tony | well it did, and I didn't install it |
20:04.46 | wols_ | clav: no I mean a 2.6.18 kernel from etch. not from lenny |
20:04.49 | Azar | Wyzard: oh, thanks for the tip, so they disabled it huh.. |
20:05.00 | wols_ | tony: you are wrong |
20:05.08 | Wyzard | I'd imagine so, considering that OSS is deprecated in favor of ALSA, and has been for a long time |
20:05.13 | Azar | tony: reinstall etch and don't try to get a "newer" alsa |
20:05.15 | tony | ok, so why did it show up in the mixer settings then? |
20:05.24 | clav | wols_, how do they differ on debian.org though, i just get kernel-architecture numbers |

20:05.52 | wols_ | clav: there are testing repos and stable repos. different places |
20:05.55 | Wyzard | tony: ALSA has an OSS emulation layer, for use by applications that use the OSS interface for playing sound |
20:06.03 | tony | ok that makes sense |
20:06.15 | Azar | snd-pcm-oss < alsa module that emulates oss |
20:08.03 | tony | damn, I guess I have to go through the entire install again |
20:08.03 | Wyzard | It's basically an OSS driver that talks to ALSA rather than directly to hardware |
20:08.03 | wols_ | tony: why? |
20:08.03 | sam_ | ok, the knoppix installed on harddisk works a little bit.. |
20:08.03 | tony | well reinstalling won't give me sound |
20:08.04 | Azar | wols_: because he installed a binary and can't rid of it now |

20:30.20 | jelly-home | some guys at work have bought cheap nvidia to run compiz/beryl and they work _very_ nice |
20:30.21 | foug | gravity: desktop task? |
20:30.24 | gravity | foug: You can customize what packages you want right from the start. |
20:30.32 | furrywolf | Wyzard: I had "screen frozen but mouse moves" on all but one of them, unless I disabled acceleration, which made it no better than the nv driver... |
20:30.35 | foug | gravity: well that's pretty handy |
20:30.43 | enouf | azeem: what is PingFloyd doing? |
20:30.53 | furrywolf | some boxes it was every week, some it was every 5 minutes. neither is usable. :) |
20:30.54 | gravity | foug: No, not from the desktop task exactly. You'll get the chance to customize your package installs. It'll fire up aptitude if you say yes, and then you can just choose what you want |
20:30.55 | Wyzard | furrywolf: I had some other issues too, graphical glitches in both 2D and 3D, but only on that one box |
20:31.01 | azeem | enouf: he's dragging on a dispute that has been settled |
20:31.09 | gravity | foug: And of course, you can always add or remove things later |
20:31.12 | Azar | furrywolf: I used the free nv driver, now I am using the non-free and it works ok because I did not installed the binaries.. |
20:31.14 | foug | gravity: ahh cool |
20:31.19 | Wyzard | furrywolf: Right now I'm using a PCIe 7600Gs with no problems whatsoever |
20:31.21 | gravity | foug: Yeah, I think so :-) |
20:31.36 | ndee | http://paste.debian.net/30061 <-- should I now change that device name? |
20:31.38 | furrywolf | Wyzard: way newer than anything I'll own for about ten more years. :) |
20:31.56 | furrywolf | I've since switched to ati cards, and had nothing but good luck with xorg's radeon driver. |
20:31.59 | Wyzard | furrywolf: Next to me I have an Ubuntu box with an AGP 6200; no problems there either |

20:32.40 | Wyzard | furrywolf: Anyway, it's great to use a GPU with a free driver, but the newer ATI cards can only use the proprietary driver, and between proprietary ATI and proprietary nVidia, I choose nVidia in a heartbeat |
20:32.52 | illo | foug IIRC the debian installer asks what so-called tasks to install, so you can end up with a ubuntu-like system. I'd suggest installing a graphical desktop in the installer, but install all the rest via aptitude or whatever you were familiar with in ubuntu. There are live debian isos to try, too |
20:32.56 | Azar | gravity: agree with you there. |
20:33.03 | gravity | I think there's major advantages to running intel right now, in terms of X drivers. Nothing else really does it. |
20:33.14 | enouf | well, i think someone who's been kicked who's harrassing others through PMs and CTCPs and crap, ought to have their childish behaviour known in public |

20:34.21 | Wyzard | valdyn: anything... what sort of things would be usable on an ATI/nVidia but too slow to be useful on an X3000 |
20:34.27 | gravity | Azar: intel video? Because of the performance? |

20:35.04 | gravity | Azar: Yeah, I don't really care about the CPU, to be honest. They're both equal in my mind |
20:35.05 | matthew | Can't find font 'fixed' ? |
20:35.07 | gravity | The video has major divergence |
20:35.10 | foug | illo: ahh i see. I'm not really going for a more ubuntu like system. I'm sticking with debian cuz i like apt, and I don't like the sound of fedora's of gentoo's package management, Ubuntu has a lot of uneccessary stuff on it it seems |
20:35.22 | gravity | matthew: Did you upgrade sarge to etch or something? |
20:35.27 | Wyzard | furrywolf: A 6200 isn't all that new... I bought mine for around $70 USD about a year ago |
20:35.28 | matthew | no O_o |
20:35.36 | gravity | matthew: What happened? |

20:36.05 | matthew | tried installing XGL D: |
20:36.11 | illo | foug you can probably slim down ubuntu too. Apt has a preference not to load recommended packages which i would consider in either debian or ubuntu if you don't want to end up with too many packages |

20:36.49 | Azar | matthew: if you installed Debian 3.1 before April 18 2007 and your sources list contain sources pointing at "stable" most likely you are now mixing etch with sarge sources |

20:38.39 | gravity | I don't know how Xgl looks for fonts |
20:39.19 | furrywolf | $50 for a video card would be more than I spent for my entire computer, video card and all. |

21:03.57 | illo | suppaman because the first pizza ever was margherita. all the rest are variations. The Margherita princess went to Naples, which at the time were a civilized place, and they made the margherita for here. There was a traditional dish like pizza without tomato whose work was based on, though |
21:04.05 | Azar | suppaman: not long, my first 4 years of life |
21:04.21 | enouf | maybe even MaxBlast, EZ-Drive shit |
21:04.24 | gravity | suppaman: In the US, people don't really say they went to university the way they do elsewhere. It's more like a word used when referring to the place formally |

22:47.28 | Azar | valdyn: is parted good for sobersabre ? |
22:47.38 | null-pointer | installing nvidia-glx will install the oldest kernel image as dependcy |
22:47.39 | Wyzard | omri: You can't |
22:47.40 | illo | m-a debs are strictly dependent on a single kernel version i guess? |
22:47.49 | null-pointer | i dont want it |
22:47.58 | omri | Wyzard, are you sure? I've read about a project that does that. It was made for ubuntu actually. |
22:48.18 | omri | It prepares the installation from windows, then reboots to the ubuntu livecd, just like it would if it was burnt |
22:48.18 | Wyzard | null-pointer: That's because it depends on nvidia-kernel, so it automatically installs the older nvidia-kernel package |
22:48.25 | valdyn | Azar: yea |
22:48.29 | illo | Azar i used gparted to shrink ntfs with no problems insofar. Dunno about reiser |
22:48.32 | rahul | null-pointer: that's ridiculous |

22:49.49 | rahul | haha |
22:49.53 | omri | I want to boot the ISO nativly. |
22:49.55 | rahul | Azar: that's what she said |
22:50.01 | Guerin | ]othen burn it to cd |
22:50.04 | Guerin | omri: ↑ |
22:50.08 | Azar | hehehe |
22:50.12 | valdyn | Guerin: a kernel compilation? |
22:50.18 | omri | Guerin, I was asking about booting an ISO without burning it |
22:50.21 | Guerin | valdyn: eh? |
22:50.27 | Wyzard | omri: Aside from some special loader like you mentioned, the only way to do it is in a way that your BIOS supports, which means on a physical CD |
22:50.28 | Guerin | omri: then by definition, it's not natively |
22:50.38 | valdyn | Guerin: to load test your undervolted laptop |
22:50.44 | rahul | where. is. that. stoned? |
22:50.50 | Wyzard | Guerin: "natively" meaning on the real hardware, not in a virtual machine |
22:51.00 | Alarm | is unstable more risky than testing or the opposide ? |
22:51.05 | Guerin | valdyn: yeah ... that's what I'd tend to go for. I hear cpuburn is dangerous, no? |
22:51.12 | nvz | I don't think grub boots isos off filesystems |
22:51.19 | Guerin | Alarm: yes, much more. |
22:51.29 | omri | Wyzard, isn't there a way to make the BIOS "think" the ISO is the actual CD? |
22:51.30 | Wyzard | Alarm: unstable is more risky -- packages only go into testing after spending some time in unstable with no major problems found |
22:51.34 | Alarm | Guerin, much more what ? to which on are u refering |
22:51.35 | valdyn | Guerin: i doubt it. But i cant tell for sure |
22:51.38 | omri | Can't GRUB boot ISOs, for example? |
22:51.39 | Wyzard | omri: The BIOS knows nothing about files on your disk |
22:51.41 | Guerin | Alarm: much more dangerous |
22:51.51 | omri | Wyzard, of course it doesn't. The drivers to. |
22:51.54 | Alarm | Guerin, testing or unstable is much more dangerous ? |
22:52.08 | omri | maybe some grub feature? kexec even?... |
22:52.08 | Alarm | i see , thanks Wyzard |
22:52.09 | Wyzard | omri: What I mean is, the BIOS doesn't have filesystem drivers... it just sees a disk as a raw block device |
22:52.11 | illo | omri the bios won't. You'd have to mount the iso as a loopback somewhere after. I say easier to use qemu or burn the disc :) |
22:52.15 | Azar | Alarm: if you do not know how to administer, find and fix bugs in the unstable Debian, you are wasting time. |
22:52.16 | valdyn | Guerin: does cpuburn even do proper consitency check though? |
22:52.31 | omri | illo, I want to netboot ISOs |
22:52.39 | Guerin | valdyn: i don't really know anything about the requirements of prope load testing, that's why I ask. |
22:52.40 | Alarm | i see.. |
22:52.44 | Wyzard | omri: GRUB understands filesystems and in principle could be made to support iso-booting, but it's not currently implemented |
22:52.59 | Azar | Alarm: unstable uses untested packages that often lead to the crash of the system |

22:53.19 | rahul | Azar: that's what she said |

22:53.28 | Azar | Wyzard: to a new Debian user, might be quite "often" |
22:53.29 | valdyn | Guerin: well, whatever load you run has to verify what it calculates, gcc does that and will spit out an internal compiler error in case something is wrong |

22:55.24 | Guerin | Azar: WTF, all of it? |
22:55.26 | Wyzard | omri: Keep in mind that bootable CDs usually contain startup code that actually looks for, and expects to find, a CD-ROM drive to load files from |

22:55.44 | Guerin | Azar: that's so wrong |
22:55.44 | omri | Wyzard, that's why you need to emulate the CDROM before loading the ISO |
22:55.50 | Azar | sobersabre: which one? |
22:55.55 | sobersabre | with parted |
22:55.59 | rahul | omgwtfbbq. |
22:56.02 | Wyzard | omri: which is rather non-trivial to do, and that's why nobody's bothered writing software to do it |
22:56.06 | sobersabre | It says parted doesn't support reiserfs |
22:56.09 | Wyzard | omri: Blank CDs are cheap and quick to burn |
22:56.09 | rahul | STONED |
22:56.10 | Azar | Guerin: for preservation... to impede the destruction of the nature by a developing country |
22:56.17 | omri | Wyzard, furthermore, linux installations look for the CD drive to get the packages from. sometimes an unsupported cdrom can't install the system |

23:04.53 | omri | Wyzard, can you emulate a CDROM from the bootloader? If the ISO image is on a remote machine (using an NFS share, for example), would the emulation hooks still work? |
23:04.56 | kenboo | daemon, use ndiswrapper if you haven't tried. |

23:05.09 | daemon | valdyn, no. |
23:05.46 | babilen | sobersabre: haven't read everything so i am not sure if this is relevant ....: have a look at gparted. it's a great toll for resizing partitions/filesystems of all kinds.. they have a boot cd.. |
23:05.49 | Guerin | MikePer: find out what version of linux supports it |
23:05.56 | daemon | kenboo, hmm what do I need to apt-get for ndiswrapper |
23:06.05 | Wyzard | omri: There are three ways a bootable CD can work: floppy emulation, hard-drive emulation, and no emulation |
23:06.29 | kenboo | daemon, apt-get install ndiswrapper-common diswrapper-source ndiswrapper-utils |
23:06.39 | MikePer | Guerin, there was support even in sarge but it wasnt very mature |
23:06.43 | omri | Wyzard, what do you mean? lost you there. Why a bootable CD needs a HD emulation? |
23:06.45 | daemon | kenboo, many thanks |
23:06.47 | Wyzard | omri: In the first two cases, the BIOS loads a file from the CD (1.44MB in the case of floppy emulation, bigger for hard-drive emulation) and uses that trick to make it appear as a real drive |
23:07.05 | Wyzard | omri: I dunno, I've never seen a bootable CD that actually uses hard-drive emulation |
23:07.05 | kenboo | daemon, and also module-assistant |
23:07.11 | Guerin | MikePer: well, etch's kernel is 10 minor versions newer, so I expect it would work more betterer |
23:07.26 | omri | so, bootable CDs are like a bootloader that loads the kernel that operates the CD itself? |
23:07.34 | Wyzard | omri: but I've made floppy-emulation bootable CDs for things like BIOS updates -- I don't have a floppy drive in this computer, so I just take the 1.44MB disk image and make a CD out of it |
23:07.40 | omri | even windows installation medias use this approach? |
23:07.42 | daemon | kenboo, ok dokey already got that bit |
23:08.06 | Wyzard | omri: The Windows install CDs, and I think the Debian install CD too, use the "no-emulation" option |

23:08.28 | Wyzard | omri: in which the BIOS just loads a small amount of code, a few sectors, from the CD, and that code is responsible for everything else |
23:08.33 | omri | Wyzard, so the boot sector of the CD is the kernel itself? |
23:08.46 | Wyzard | omri: No, it's isolinux |
23:09.01 | omri | Wyzard, and on windows? |

23:11.27 | daemon | kenboo, module-assistant ran successfully |
23:11.40 | omri | isolinux is -no-emul-boot then? |
23:11.49 | Wyzard | omri: Actually, no, I do know of one: Seagate SeaTools, their bootable diagnostic software for hard drives |
23:11.57 | kenboo | daemon, then...do UPDATE, PREPARE, and then SELECT ndiswrapper |
23:12.11 | Wyzard | omri: It's available as either a bootable floppy image, or an .iso which is just the floppy image made into a floppy-emulation bootable CD |
23:12.29 | Wyzard | omri: I'm pretty sure isolinux uses the no-emulation approach, though not absolutely certain |
23:12.34 | omri | So if I understand correctly, if there was a CD emulation, you could emulate the ISO as the CD and boot it? |
23:12.38 | daemon | kenboo, selected |
23:12.41 | Azar | daemon: do you have madwifi? |
23:12.51 | daemon | Azar, yes it couldnt find the card |
23:12.57 | Azar | http://www.b7j0c.org/content/etchwifi.html |
23:13.05 | Wyzard | omri: Well, there's no need for "CD emulation" on a bootable CD because, well, it's already a CD |
23:13.12 | kenboo | daemon, i guess you can go INSTALL directly. |
23:13.24 | omri | yes, but what if you want to use a bootloader, such as grub, to boot an ISO image? |
23:13.28 | daemon | <PROTECTED> |
23:13.30 | Wyzard | omri: but we know it's possible to simulate BIOS floppy and hard-drive devices by hooking interrupts; the BIOS does that when you boot a CD which uses emulation |
23:13.43 | daemon | kenboo, needed me to build it |
23:13.44 | illo | daemon and try rebooting the box- i had to with my wifi |
23:13.47 | Wyzard | omri: In principle it should be possible to simulate a BIOS CD-ROM device in the same way, by hooking interrupts |
23:13.48 | Lunar_Lamp | I've just upgraded my serve,r but it seems to be taking AGES to process "update-initramfs" - several minutes on a fast server. I think something has ogne wrong, but no idea how to check what. |
23:13.49 | omri | so you can hook the CDROM's interrupts to do that? |
23:13.51 | daemon | kenboo, built+installed |
23:13.59 | daemon | illo, really |
23:14.02 | daemon | arg |
23:14.03 | valdyn | Azar: his 3com card has an atheros chipset? |
23:14.06 | kenboo | daemon, ok. so ndiswrapper is ready. |
23:14.14 | omri | Wyzard, yes; that's what I had in mind when talking about the http://syslinux.zytor.com/memdisk.php |
23:14.14 | Wyzard | omri: You'd hook into whatever interrupts are used for accessing CD-ROM drives via the BIOS |
23:14.16 | Azar | valdyn: I try to make him tell me what is having... |
23:14.18 | illo | yep, a ndiswrapper for a broadcom card |
23:14.36 | omri | Wyzard, these interrupts stay hooked after the kernel boots? |
23:14.36 | Wyzard | omri: but I don't know whether they're the same as for accessing hard drives |
23:14.38 | Azar | daemon: you have to state all specs, names, versions of your wifi card |
23:14.43 | valdyn | Azar: he tried to, and gave a serial that looks like one for a usb wifi thingie |
23:14.57 | daemon | 3CRWE254G72, version 2 not 1 |
23:14.58 | kenboo | daemon, you need Windows driver for your card. do you have it? |
23:15.06 | daemon | kenboo, yep got it inserted into cd drive |
23:15.09 | daemon | ill mount the cd one sec |
23:15.12 | Wyzard | omri: No, the kernel has its own drivers that talk to hardware (such as an IDE controller), rather than using the BIOS interface |
23:15.29 | daemon | kenboo, ok dokey |
23:15.33 | omri | Wyzard, so that doesn't do any good. the kernel that boots has to know you were booting a direct ISO image |
23:15.40 | omri | that's just like the problem with unsupported CDROMs |
23:15.43 | Wyzard | omri: The hooked interrupts only work for code that uses the BIOS to access the CD, not code that talks to the IDE controller directly |
23:15.47 | kenboo | daemon, then....run ndiswrapper -i your_card.inf |
23:15.47 | omri | the kernel boots. but it fails to mount the cdrom |
23:15.56 | Wyzard | right |
23:16.12 | omri | thanks. things are much clearer now :) |
23:16.28 | omri | So I guess to boot an ISO image off a net boot you need to hack the ISO |
23:16.30 | daemon | kenboo, ok done |
23:16.35 | Wyzard | omri: Like I said, booting an .iso directly is non-trivial and nobody's bothered implementing it since CDs are cheap :-) |
23:16.36 | omri | (for windows installations, that is) |
23:16.36 | kenboo | daemon, try ndiswrapper -l |

23:17.04 | Wyzard | omri: Anyway, there are other ways to install an OS via netbooting |

23:20.32 | omri | Wyzard, are you sure there's such netboot image? |

23:20.34 | rvalles | (from amuled, amule-server) |
23:20.50 | omri | Wyzard, I think microsoft offer it with a windows 2003 server package only |
23:20.52 | prism | ok laptop erbooted |
23:20.57 | Wyzard | omri: I don't know the details since it's been a few years since I read about this, but Microsoft already officially supports network installation, and I'm pretty sure they provide a PXE image for exactly this purpose |
23:20.57 | prism | still no wifi showing up though :( |
23:21.03 | omri | Wyzard, I'd have to get the image from their TFTP server |
23:21.38 | Wyzard | omri: Anyway, go ask in a Windows channel about that, and/or see Microsoft's resources for system administrators |
23:21.38 | omri | Wyzard, they do. only they don't give it out for free. it comes with the win2k3 as a seperate service |
23:21.52 | Wyzard | omri: I read about it while setting up a Win2003 server a few years ago, but I'm pretty sure it supported installing XP and possibly 2000 too |
23:22.01 | omri | Wyzard, I think I'd try hacking their service, debug the DHCPd args and get the image myself |
23:22.05 | illo | prism, see i fthe card is working under win, see hardware list in win, see what driver it uses, locate .inf for that and try that one |
23:22.08 | Wyzard | omri: At any rate, we're off-topic right now |
23:22.21 | Guerin | ok, and from the `random a/v advice' department: can I take a non-shielded cable, wrap tinfoil and gaffer tape around it, and expect it to work as a shielded cable? |
23:22.40 | omri | Wyzard, yup. The main idea wasn't windows installation, though it's some of it. |
23:22.40 | Wyzard | omri: but once you get the netboot image you could probably use a Debian bootp/tftp server (rather than Win2003) to serve the boot image, and samba to serve the files |

23:23.03 | karmatronic | prism, what card is it ? |
