00:00 <****> simonrvn: how can you know what i want to know?
00:00 <****> Ronin: i'm just curious to know if someone use fdm. Nothing more.
00:00 <****> i read scrollback. you haven't really asked anything except does someone use blah. that's not conducive to answering, it's a poll-type question.
00:01 <****> clamiax: like Ronin said, some people do, some don't. next!
00:01 <****> simonrvn: that's exacly what i want to know.
00:01 <****> !popcon
00:01 <****> hmm... popcon is the Debian Popularity contest. See results at http://popcon.debian.org/ or install popularity-contest to participate. do the dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest right after you answered all debconf stuff
00:01 <****> clamiax: ^^^
00:01 <****> lol
00:02 <****> :)
00:02 <****> THX
00:09 <****> i just one stupid question today left, how can i combine 2 pdf files that where generated into 1 with a bash script if possible on etch?
00:10 <****> hi! with the first cd of a debian testing I can use bcm43xx to configure my wifi device? or it is not integrated on the installation cd?
00:11 <****> they where created with libpdf-create-perl
00:12 <****> bcm43xx is in the kernel since it's a mainline kernel driver. the firmware however and probably the firmware-cutter are not on the Debian CD: neither of them are Free software
00:12 <****> fwcutter is in contrib I think. firmware comes with your windows drivers
00:12 <****> nvm, got it already: gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=combinedpdf.pdf -dBATCH 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf
00:13 <****> dutchfish: pdft is excellt for things like this too
00:13 <****> wols, and it's possible to configure it without inet connection? f.e. saving firmware on a pendrive?
00:14 <****> wols, thx very much, i delve into it, i need it to combine pdf wich where created by rrdtool and others from dif machines to combine in 1 rapport
00:15 <****> dutchfish: pdfutils or such
00:15 <****> wols, so my mail box wont get cluthered anymore ;)
00:16 <****> simonrvn, thx!
00:16 <****> np
00:17 <****> Can I test my mouse to see whether a mouse down event is generated continuously when I press and hold it?
00:17 <****> xev
00:17 <****> fasta, mouse.h
00:17 <****> is http://incoming.debian.org/ working ?
00:18 <****> xota: yes it is. for my WLAN I had to create a debian kernel on another machine and copy the .deb over
00:18 <****> xota: same for the firmware. no use why you couldn't do that
00:18 <****> dutchfish: you suggest I write a C program to test it?
00:18 <****> damn, this xev thing is amazing.
00:19 <****> fasta, i assumed you where, sorry
00:19 <****> Every day something new.
00:19 <****> simonrvn: that doesn't know the diffirence between holding and pressing
00:19 <****> dimir: just tell him
00:19 <****> fasta: you don't say?
00:19 <****> oh simonrvn already did
00:19 <****> difference*
00:19 <****> wols: ye
00:19 <****> Is there an easy guide for novies to make a router out of a debian box (where you could block MSN and stuff?)
00:19 <****> dimir: I do
00:20 <****> Seivan|: netfilter.org and lartc.org
00:20 <****> Seivan|: the blocing part is not easy. making a NAT router is
00:20 <****> fasta: maybe it's just because your mouse is fscked up. Because it perfectly WFM.
00:20 <****> for the blocking you need to make your own ipttables lines
00:20 <****> !WFM
00:20 <****> wfm is, like, Works for Me, or some strange corruption of hopwfm, or what fucking manual?
00:20 <****> wols could I get some ready finished.. and just add to them?
00:20 <****> dimir: what exactly does it do for you?
00:20 <****> abrotman gui or CLI?
00:20 <****> dimir: I just see event 30
00:21 <****> fasta: reports ButtenPress and ButtonRelease events on pressing and releasing the button respectively.
00:21 <****> maybe. possible: yes. likely: no
00:22 <****> works for button 1, 2 and 3.
00:23 <****> It seems they wrote just about all apps that are needed.
00:24 <****> dimir: well, that appears to work.
00:24 <****> dimir: never mind, it probably is something else.
00:28 <****> wols, bcm43xx-fwcutter is in the first cd? do u know?
00:31 <****> do you need to restart anything after modifying the logcheck filters?
00:33 <****> can anyone get me the name of the package to create ncurses screens from a bash script, i forgot the name
00:36 <****> k-man, http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/278
00:37 <****> k-man: no, just wait for the next logcheck run
00:37 <****> thanks
00:40 <****> xota: it is afaik in contrib ahtere therefore on no CD at all
00:40 <****> !tell xota about pdo
00:41 <****> dutchfish: dialog?
00:41 <****> i am madly confused in attempting to set up my own dns. how do i get my name server setup so that it can resolve my domain name?
00:41 <****> is bash in etch statically linked against curses or ncurses?
00:41 <****> jelly-home, yes, thats the one, cool thx!
00:41 <****> maybe a pointer to some step by step guide of getting a dns up and running would suffice
00:42 <****> _uplinkd_: bind has a channel, if your using that try asking them
00:42 <****> poke 543281,2
00:42 <****> thanks much
00:43 <****> np
00:43 <****> DustyBin: you meant 53281
00:43 <****> haha yes :D
00:43 <****> why red?
00:43 <****> haha
00:43 <****> red background with light blue letters on a tv = badness

00:45 <****> _uplinkd_: A couple of days ago someone mentioned http://www.rscott.org/dns/
00:45 <****> wols, but when i run on the installation bcm43xx-fwcutter, it need to connect to a server to download firmware, yes or no?
00:45 <****> Can i download this firwmare manually?
00:46 <****> excuse, but I'm lost and only have wifi ;(
00:46 <****> Tramp: thank you very much, just taking a quick peek, i think this might really clear the water for me.
00:46 <****> _uplinkd_: ok, hth.
00:53 <****> xota: you asking permission? sure you can ;P
00:56 <****> xota: yiz cab diwbkiad the firmware manually
00:56 <****> *you can download
00:57 <****> xota: in fact you already have the file(s) for it in your current windows drivers
00:57 <****> !bcm43xx
