00:00 <****> hi, can anyone help me with my keymaps? They got completely screwed up after an upgrade and I don't know what caused it or what to do about it.
00:00 <****> EruditeHermit: in what way?
00:01 <****> and a host of other things
00:03 <****> hi. i have a laptop and switch a lot between networks. right now i have a network with a static ip and one that uses dhcp. what is the best way to manage/automize network settings? guessnet?
00:03 <****> has anyone had problems with the xt_string netfilter module?
00:03 <****> also, im wondering about the wifi. im tired of having to type the WAP key.
00:03 <****> stew, i dont know what to search for on google. can u help me?
00:03 <****> ringo999: network-manager
00:03 <****> ringo999: and either knetworkmanager or network-manager-gnome
00:04 <****> dondelelcaro: I am thinking it might be something to do with X as my middle click for paste isn't working either
00:04 <****> ManuP_: your driver is broken. you need a fixed one
00:05 <****> EruditeHermit: i think i have network-manager-gnome (using xfce4). doesnt that just give me an applet for connecting (nm-applet)?
00:05 <****> ringo999: zes
00:05 <****> stew, brb, restarting xserver for test
00:05 <****> ringo999: yes
00:06 <****> ringo999: it also stores wep keys once zou enter them
00:06 <****> it seems that the string matching doesn't work on Etch
00:07 <****> ringo999: you'll need gnome keyring installed for that though
00:07 <****> EruditeHermit: also WAP keys, maybe I just havent been patient enough...
00:07 <****> how about the switching between different network settings (static/dhcp)?
00:08 <****> EruditeHermit: keyring is installed.
00:09 <****> ringo999: it allows you to choose between wired and wireless networks. If a wire is plugged it switches to the wired network I think
00:10 <****> exit
00:10 <****> bye
00:11 <****> alright. i will check it out tomorrow. thanks.
00:12 <****> is there an active debian kernel chan here?
00:12 <****> pickcoder: #debian-kernel on irc.debian.org
00:13 <****> ok thanks
00:14 <****> dondelelcaro: any ideas?
00:19 <****> why would sensible-browser be running my www-browser when i'm in gnome? i'm running two x sessions through gdm and this is the second one, that's the only thing i could think of
00:21 <****> evening, was looking around this morning for an issue with "grub grub grub..." on the screen. currently everyone says to turn the hd from auto to user but my asus motherboard does not allow that
00:21 <****> EruditeHermit: see what xkeycaps says for starters
00:21 <****> it does allow specifying auto or large for the drive size. anyone willing to lend a hand? i'm in the rescue mode of the install
00:25 <****> dondelelcaro: it says that up is print screen, down is right alt
00:25 <****> dondelelcaro: but why?
00:26 <****> some of the keys are just not set
00:27 <****> EruditeHermit: most likely you've managed to pick the wrong keyboard
00:28 <****> EruditeHermit: you can use xkbsel-aw to pick the right one, and then you'll have to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to match the correct one
00:28 <****> (or just xkbsel)
00:28 <****> !debian-multimedia
00:28 <****>.
00:29 <****> Good night all
00:29 <****> !debian-multimedia.etch
00:29 <****> /etc/apt/sources.list; apt-get update; (as root), or install the debian-multimedia-keyring package from the debian-multimedia.org repository.
00:30 <****> dondelelcaro: it says map name not set
00:30 <****> how do I chown a directory including subdirs and all files
00:31 <****> _yannick: chown -R for recursive
00:32 <****>
00:32 <****> !apt-key 1F41B907
00:32 <****> gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 1F41B907 ; gpg --export 1F41B907 | sudo apt-key add -
00:32 <****> /msg dpkg apt-key 1F41B907
00:32 <****> for the next time ;)
00:33 <****> kk, soz :)
00:33 <****> dondelelcaro: one more thing, those keys work from a console. Only X has the problems
00:34 <****> EruditeHermit: right, X has a totally different keyboard map than the console
00:35 <****> wow, i cant believe all that worked :o normally when i do stuff shit just gos wrong
00:35 <****> EruditeHermit: in any event, you want something like xkbsel -s xfree86;
00:36 <****> dondelelcaro: map xfree86 not found in database
00:36 <****> Is there any reason debian's lighttpd package would ignore my include_shell directive in the lighttpd conf?
00:36 <****> Completly ignored.
00:37 <****> EruditeHermit: what about xkbsel -s 'xfree86(us)'; ?
00:37 <****> EruditeHermit: if not, then xkbseldb -l|less; and find one that's like xfree86(us). It's possibly called xorg or something.
00:39 <****> that's pretty neat how gnome-www-browser gets set to galeon when i just installed the iceweasel gnome support
00:39 <****> (don't have galeon installed)
00:39 <****> It's kind of insane....
00:41 <****> dondelelcaro: it errored out
00:41 <****> This one doesnt even get run either.
00:41 <****> No trace of it in the log.
00:41 <****> Very disturbing.
00:42 <****>
00:42 <****> ?
00:42 <****> dondelelcaro: brb this is scary
00:43 <****> n3kl_: the -486 kernels will work
00:44 <****> I missed the point of my question. I am looking for a xen kernel for i586 or i486.
00:44 <****> you missed ?
00:45 <****> abrotman: as in, I did not specify that I was looking for a xen kernel.
00:45 <****> Is there anyone using lighttpd and etch around?
00:45 <****> oh
00:47 <****> hmm... blacklisting of module matroxfb_base does not work for me. Does someone have an idea how I can test blacklisting?
00:48 <****> still?
00:50 <****> hooray, gimp 2.4 was just released
00:50 <****> abrotman: Yes.
00:50 <****> with the default samba installation, I am having trouble getting smbclient -L localhost to work. I enter my password and it gives me NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
00:51 <****> dondelelcaro: hey, the xkbsel thing didn't work
00:51 <****> hum, how do I force clean the state of a package?
00:51 <****> apt-get remove didnt remove the conf records
00:51 <****> DeathWolf: man apt-get .. see purge
00:51 <****> abrotman: About the ONLY way to get rid of it so far was renaming and rebuilding initrd. If it's eithe rin initrd or in file system, I get the module (and distorted video).
00:51 <****> dondelelcaro: couldn't write keyboard description to 0,0
00:52 <****> Hurga: well .. it definitely shouldn't be in your initrd if you don't want it
00:52 <****> thx
00:52 <****> hum Something is wrong.
00:52 <****> I purge completly lighttpd, and apt-get install lighttpd
00:52 <****> abrotman: Fun thing is that it's only activated after mounting root, in both cases.
00:52 <****> it starts the server fine
00:52 <****> but the default conf is broken.
00:53 <****> And serves octet-stream because the include_shell directive is not read in the conf.
00:53 <****> Either the package is broken, or it's dependent on something that's not indicated:/
