00:01 <****> wols: I'm now getting a failure in the "Install the base system" step.
00:03 <****> Odd_Bloke: what installer? how big was the installer ISO you got?
00:03 <****> wols: I dunno, this is a CD someone lent me. :p
00:05 <****> Odd_Bloke: any specific error you get?
00:06 <****> hi people.. i can't telnet to localhost.. is says unable to connect to remote host: connection refused.. anyone help me plz?
00:06 <****> supaman: "Failed to determine the codename of the release."
00:06 <****> s/of/for/
00:06 <****> Is there a tool which allows to send an IP packet with specified protocol number? I want to test if IPSEC is blocked by my ISP
00:07 <****> Odd_Bloke: that seems harmless ... just continue if you can
00:07 <****> But don't want to configure ISPEC to get it banned after that
00:07 <****> supaman: I can't, I get told that the step has failed and returned to the main menu.
00:07 <****> hallo, i've a problem with an intelchip graphic adapter
00:07 * Odd_Bloke suspects that this is the business card installer.
00:07 <****> fuzzy_logic: I think the telnet port is closed by default on debian ... no one can connect to it
00:08 <****> supaman: how can i open it?
00:08 <****> Having just looked at the download page and had the meaning of the scribble on the CD become clear.
00:08 <****> hi there
00:08 <****> the problem is, it uses the i810 driver but doesn't have direct rendering
00:08 <****> Odd_Bloke: cant you pick the next step in the main menu ?
00:08 <****> does anybody know which options i have to set in the xorg.conf?
00:09 <****> supaman: I'd have thought "Installing the base system" was fairly important?
00:09 <****> And, in fact, the next step also gives me the same error.
00:09 <****> Odd_Bloke: ahh .. yes, that is important :)
00:09 <****> If this is going to be an insurmountable problem (as it seems it will be), I'll go and buy a writable CD. :p
00:09 <****> Odd_Bloke: seems like an unusable installation image you got there, I would make another
00:10 <****> who can test this : http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 successfully ? I'm on lenny & I have apt-get sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin & downloaded the required jre on the web page but test is not successfull
00:10 <****> supaman: OK, thanks for the help.
00:10 <****> wols: You too. :)
00:10 <****> Odd_Bloke: np, good luck
00:10 * Odd_Bloke --> Tesco to buy CDs
00:10 <****> or this one : http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
00:13 <****> wols: Every time I have ever installed a kernel-image I have always had to manually edit the grub menu.lst file to give it an initrd entry, otherwise when I boot I get a kernel panic. It never made sense to me why, am I doing something horribly wrong?
00:13 <****> sputnick: have you enabled java in the browser?
00:14 <****> Does this channel have a documentation bot?
00:14 <****> where ?
00:14 <****> I've put some startup script for postgresql in /etc/init.d/postgresql and created symbolic links in /etc/rc0,1,2,3,5/K02postgresql but somehow my postgresql server does not start on start up. Where can I find the error log file?
00:14 <****> !dpkgbot
00:14 <****>. We ask that you learn to search for yourself first, unless it is a specific problem. Many questions are asked repeatedly, and the factoid database can be of great help to you.
00:14 <****>Preferences and somewhere there
00:15 <****> click170: so this is a debian kernel, you fetch it with aptitude or apt-get?
00:15 <****> I fetched the linux-source-2.6.18, and am only trying to compile it with arpd support. I'm having neighboor table overflow issues in my kernel log you see.
00:16 <****> MauL^: "K..." are links for stopping a service, not for starting.
00:17 <****> click170: well ... dont know much about this but I think that debian kernels need the initrd thing and roll your owns don't
00:18 <****> i am trying to help a friend whit his debian machine but his behind a router and his ip addr is an 192.168.0.1 type is anyway to get to him ?
00:18 <****> supaman: Well the thing is, if I don't modify the grub menu.lst as I have been doing previously to give my new kernel an initrd entry, then I get a kernel panic. I remember its something to do with VFS, I can get the exact error if need be.
00:19 <****> click170: thats ok .. like I said .. don't know much about this :)
00:19 <****> rafuch0: Your friend has to modify his router to forward a port
00:20 <****> rafuch0: either what Tramp said, or ssh to the router and then to 192.168.0.1 from there
00:21 <****> Hi, Upon booting lenny I get a slow down at the point that says "DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255 port 67 inerval 8", it trys vraious intravals which takes quite a bit of time. IT then says "NO DHCPOFFICERS RECEIVED" This started after an update.
00:22 <****> cec: are you supposed to have a DHCP server on your network?
00:22 <****> no
00:22 <****> cec: then configure your interface with a static address so it doesn't broadcast for DHCP
00:23 <****> Ic ok thanks
00:23 <****> fuzzy_logic: install telnetd
00:23 <****> cec: /etc/network/interfaces is the file in question, and man interfaces its man page
00:24 <****> has anyone got virtualization working on debian ?
00:24 <****> Thanks!! \amethyst
00:24 <****> mumbles: what kind of virtualization are you talking about?
00:25 <****> mumbles: I ran haikuos once on qemu
00:25 <****> worked perfectly
00:25 <****> i wanted to know if it was possable to get xp started
00:25 <****> mumbles: it is
00:25 <****> erm. i have a install of xp on a hdd on this machene , can i boot that up using something ?
00:26 <****> mumbles: no
00:26 <****> wols: not even with vmware?
00:26 <****> supaman: no
00:26 <****> if you do get it to book it will complain a *lot* about changed hardware
00:26 <****> s/ook/oot/
00:26 <****> I doubt the vmware emulated hardware is the same one that you run
00:27 <****> could i do a fresh install ?
00:27 <****> mumbles: yes
00:27 <****> goes to google for some howtoos
00:27 <****> thats a good boy
00:27 * supaman pets mumbles
00:27 <****> ;)
00:27 <****> where does wget save its download by default??
00:28 <****> ill be back in a few hours after ive messed things up
00:28 <****> gaurish: the folder you where in when you did wget i think
00:28 <****> gaurish: in the dir where you started it
00:28 <****> .
00:28 <****> Quick couple of questions. First, does anyone have any experience with how difficult getting debian to work dual boot with vista is, and then, if there exists and HCL and/or a program that will scan a computer for compatible hardware?
00:28 <****> rhsanborn: -a live boot cd ?
00:28 <****> !hardware
00:28 <****> Before buying -any- hardware, make sure it's supported by all operating systems you want to use. See: the hardware howto. Ask me about howtos. or if you ask "Hey, why does my card suck so much in Linux," we have to say, "because your card manufacturer can't decide whether they're in the hardware or software business.", or check http://lhd.datapower.com/, http://linuxhardware.net/ and http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html
00:29 <****> The biggest things to worry about compatibility-wise these days is wifi
00:29 <****> mumbles, supaman i am downloading Debian dvd now in middle there no space left in my /home can i move to other place?
00:29 <****> ok, folks
00:29 <****> mumbles, \amethyst, thanks. And thats exactly what I'm worried about. I have a new laptop with a broadcom card
00:29 <****> gaurish: you can stop, move it somewhere else, and continue the download
00:29 <****> this was really odd
00:29 <****> i accidently set
00:30 <****> set stty erase
00:30 <****> \amethyst, how?
00:30 <****> in the /etc/profile
00:30 <****> gaurish: what are you downloading with
00:30 <****> I want to make sure that mobo and other things are in good shape too though
00:30 <****> so that erase was ^M
00:30 <****> which meant
00:30 <****> if I went to the shell
