00:00 <****> i get this error when i boot the system: 'refresh rate not supported'
00:00 <****> i get the same error with single-mode user
00:00 <****> is there a tutorial to get compiz fusion working on debian?
00:00 <****> anything special i need to consider when putting detch on a 1G CF card?
00:01 <****> .... detch = debian etch
00:01 <****> or something
00:01 <****> I'd get a 2GB card
00:02 <****> bzed, do u have any idea about my problem?
00:03 <****> alex88: after a kernel recompiling session <<<<<<< just use the normal kernel, or a kernel from backports.org if you need a more recent one and have no clue.
00:03 <****> bzed, i'm not worried about space... but about the underlying differences between a CF card and a real hard disk
00:03 <****> keith4_: a CF in a IDE adapter shouldn't make a difference
00:04 <****> at least none I know of
00:04 <****> pretty common to do that for embedded devices
00:04 <****> should I be worried about writing too often to the CF?
00:04 <****> no clue
00:04 <****> yeah bzed i know but what i wanted to do recompile it :D
00:04 <****> and i actually did it... i probably forgot to include a module or so
00:04 <****> alex88: then figure out by yourself what's wrong
00:05 <****> alex88: or ask in #kernelnewbies
00:05 <****> why can't i just ask here
00:05 <****> ?
00:06 <****> hi. what's the vi clone shipped with debian?
00:06 <****> vim
00:06 <****> vi ?
00:06 <****> dasss: vi --version may show you
00:07 <****> thanks anyway bzed
00:07 <****> also that probably depends on which packages you've isntalled
00:07 <****> there're several vi/vim related packages
00:07 <****> i meant basic installation
00:08 <****> so did I. vim-tiny is the package, to be exact
00:08 <****> hi, is someone experimentig problems with lenny since the 5Nov update? especially X
00:08 <****> I like the description, "Vim is an almost compatible version of the UNIX editor Vi"
00:08 <****> dkr: yeah, but they have different configurations. vi --version helps :)
00:09 <****> marvil07: more specific would help
00:09 <****> thanks
00:11 <****> hi Ronin , I am really trying to get the problem, but I could not isolate it... the specific problem is that X hang out after some minutes of use
00:12 <****> is it possible my kernel will not automatically detect 4gb of ram and instead see only 2.5gb?
00:12 <****> Ronin, i tried with diferent desktops, and different applications, but the problems persists
00:13 <****> and what does LowTotal mean in /proc/meminfo?
00:13 <****> because it's roughly 4gb of ram
00:15 <****> is this too much load? load average: 367.03, 346.04, 268.38
00:15 <****> uh.... yes? ;-)
00:15 <****> 1.0 = 100%
00:15 <****> roughly
00:16 <****> huh ?
00:16 <****> so I could I be around 300 ?
00:16 <****> marvil07: reconfigure x?
00:16 <****> that's insane load
00:16 <****> doesn't etch come with nvi?
00:17 <****> what is nvi
00:18 <****> Xulfa: this load is absolutely insane man... what is your computer doing?
00:18 <****> im not sure actually
00:19 <****> maybe it is trying to find a cure for cancer?
00:19 <****> so its 300 times more then 100 percent utilization?
00:19 <****> yes
00:19 <****> that is odd
00:19 <****> but then again, in linux this is not exactly accurate
00:20 <****> load is accurate for what it measures
00:20 <****> it's more about cpu time distribution and such things which I never had the patience to read about
00:20 <****> ;-)
00:20 <****> I didn't say the load itself it not accurate
00:20 <****> it's just the average number of processes which are running or would like to run
00:21 <****> I would like to read about it more in depth at some point, about scheduling, time slices, etc.
00:21 <****> where "would like to run" includes processes which have made kernel calls which have not returned yet (IO wait, etc.)
00:21 <****> I believe it will help me better understand certain issues as they are occurring
00:22 <****> actually I have like exim using all the cpu and ram
00:22 <****> hello everyone, i've got a problem mounting CDs burnt in windows, they work fine in any computer under windows, but when i mount them in linux i can only see the files but i can not copy files (i get Input/Output error). any clue?
00:23 <****> i need help dual booting xp on a vista computer without formating anything
00:23 <****> i need help dual booting xp on a vista computer without formating anything
00:23 <****> i need help dual booting xp on a vista computer without formating anything
00:23 <****> !tell cool about repeat
00:24 <****> Xulfa: maybe your machine is being used to spam 1 million emails per hour ;-)
00:24 <****> in process list I have many of /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1ipued-0005x81 but all of the numbers at the end are different.. I have hundreds or tens of thousands of these messages processes?
00:24 <****> hi
00:24 <****> yikes
00:24 <****> Xulfa: check where those mails all go to
00:24 <****> Good night all
00:24 <****> sorry but can anybpdy help me
00:24 <****> zse yizr kigs
00:24 <****> *use your logs
00:24 <****> if it is emailing the log should be filling my hard drive
00:25 <****> Xulfa: you must limit your exim somehow from spawning so many processes..
00:25 <****> cool: http://workaround.org/moin/GettingHelpOnIrc
00:25 <****> Skaag: the question is why is he sending so many mails in the first place
00:26 <****> im not sure im sending so many
00:26 <****> wols_: of course, but how can we know without a closer inspection
00:26 <****> my main exim log doesn't show much
00:26 <****> I have s trange problem : I'm creating a deb package for a web site. this site contains configuration files for apache. these files go in the directory /etc/apache2/mysite. but when I install the package, nothing appears in /etc/apache2/mysite. any idea ?
00:26 <****> Xulfa: where are all those mails going to?
00:26 <****> i need help dual booting xp on a vista computer without formating anything
00:27 <****> !tell cool about repeat
00:27 <****> cool: since debian doesn't install on ntfs you will format something
00:27 <****> what
00:28 <****> cool: read the URL I gave you. follow it
00:29 <****> hello everyone, i've got a problem mounting CDs burnt in windows, they work fine in any computer under windows, but when i mount them in linux i can only see the list of files but i can not copy files (i get Input/Output error). any clue?
00:29 <****> cool: neither xp nor vista are supported here. Try ##windows
00:29 <****> TravellingSalesM: what filesystem on the CD?
00:30 <****> TravellingSalesM: if the cds are working fine, it could possibally be an acual hardware issue? or are you using the same cd drive on a dual boot machine?
