00:00 <****> thx
00:03 <****> !crone
00:03 <****> in a standard installation, is cups installed with the admin webpage on port 631?
00:03 <****> aren't there any good cron guides out here?
00:03 <****> kombi: yes. It's possible it is only listening on localhost
00:04 <****> thanks jelly-home!
00:06 <****> Spida: If you're curious, http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/RAIDvsCrypto describes the problem in more detail, and provides a partial workaround
00:06 <****> Spida: (the workaround looks like it might work if you want to put a filesystem directly on the encrypted volume, but it's insufficient if you want to use LVM too)
00:07 <****> !tell maddash about crontab demystified
00:07 <****> yaaaay thanks
00:07 <****> Hi
00:07 <****> themill: asswipe
00:07 <****> How can I disable the login manager?
00:07 <****> !crontab demystified
00:07 <****> hmm... crontab demystified is http://www.superscripts.com/tutorial/crontab.html
00:08 <****> wtf?
00:08 <****> All I want is something like slackware.. a simple command-line "Localhost login:"
00:08 <****> eep... that once was a useful page... :(
00:08 <****> dondelelcaro: I think someone's messing with your bot
00:08 <****> Gargantua: uninstall gdm, or whatever login-manager package you're using
00:08 <****> themill: sorry, I take it back, then
00:08 <****> Wyzard, k.
00:08 <****> thanks.
00:08 <****> maddash: ask google....
00:08 <****> also, how can I execute a command before any shell starts?
00:09 <****> Gargantua: even better, don't install it in the first place (don't select the "desktop" task or whatever while installing)
00:09 <****> for example.. everytime I would turn on a terminal, it would execute "uptime".
00:09 <****> Wyzard, bit too late for that :\
00:09 <****> can i remove the entire desktop categorized packages in one shot?
00:10 <****> Gargantua: The reason being that the desktop task installs a bunch of other GUI applications that are still installed on your system, even though you're not using them
00:10 <****> Wyzard: I will create the system by hand, using grml. Did that before, shouldn't be a problem.
00:10 <****> Wyzard: and I know that the debianinstaller can use it, did that before, too.
00:10 <****> is there something like source o matic for ubuntu ?
00:11 <****> !topicsmite
00:11 <****> Spida: If nothing else, you could try to find that beta3 version of the etch installer, which definitely doesn't have the bug
00:11 <****> #ubuntu PLEASE
00:11 <****> im not asking about ubuntu
00:11 * themill wonders what source o matic is....
00:11 <****> w.e., this is still the wrong place to ask.
00:11 <****> :(
00:11 <****> !tell dondelelcaro about crontab demystifid
00:11 <****> Spida: I'm currently running LVM on dm-crypt on RAID-5, installed back in January with the beta3 installer
00:11 <****> its just a web site that you can easily generate a sources list from
00:11 <****> !tell dondelelcaro about crontab demystified
00:11 <****> Wyzard, so how would I go about doing the execuation of a command before any shell starts?
00:12 <****> methods[debian]: you mean for iptables ?
00:12 <****> for example.. everytime I would turn on a terminal, it would execute "uptime".
00:12 <****> Gargantua: If you want it to run every time you log in or every time a new shell startes, you could put it in ~/.bash_login or ~/.bashrc
00:12 <****> maddash: take it easy... I'm working on finding a good replacement site for that one
00:12 <****> Wyzard, can I have it do that for every user?
00:12 <****> Gargantua: That's run a automatically by the shell before it displays the command prompt
00:12 <****> an apt source list
00:13 <****> Gargantua: Look at /etc/profile for that, maybe
00:13 <****> Wyzard, thanks.
00:16 <****> maddash: the wayback machine says that the url in crontab demystified once had helpful content, since then the content was removed. you can remove the factoid yourself with "dpkg: forget crontab demystified", but it looks like someone already has
00:17 <****> stew, maddash: just updated it
00:17 <****> !crontab demystified
00:17 <****> !crontab demystified
00:17 <****> from memory, cron tutorial is at http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html but use the Debian init script (/etc/init.d/cron) rather than running cron from the command line.
00:17 <****> that's better....
00:17 <****> until the linkrot sets in
00:17 <****> themill: thanks
00:18 <****> np, always good to keep poor little dpkg's brain in good shape
00:18 <****> Good night all
00:19 <****> good night.
00:21 <****> ay!
00:24 <****> themiller:thanks much very
00:24 <****> np
00:25 <****> wait a sec - only root is allowed to cron?!
00:26 <****> where do you get that from?
00:26 <****> anyone know of a site that lists linux based portable media players?
00:26 <****> !hcl
00:26 <****>
00:26 <****> tuxmobile?
00:26 <****> how do i change the resolution?
00:27 <****> struct: tuxmobil.org is a good place to look
00:47 <****> hello
00:48 <****> i would like to set the resolution on my bootup screen to 1024x768 instead of the present one of 800x640, could someone please help me out?
01:01 <****> Are there any established best practices for using IPv6 in Debian?
01:02 <****> I want to use a 6to4 address, but it looks like I'll have to come up with my own scheme for automatically configuring the IPv6 address based on the dynamic IPv4 address
01:02 <****> How can I know what packages I have to apdate ( using apt)
01:02 <****> click your heels together and say "there's no place like :::1"
01:02 <****> alright, off topic, other then its a debian webserver, i'm looking for mindmapping software where i could edit mindmaps through a web browser...
01:02 <****> hehe
01:02 <****> /s/apdate/update
01:03 <****> or an awesome todo list type of software, again that i could access and edit through a web browser
01:03 <****> UNDERsoN: "aptitude update ; aptitude -s upgrade" the first command says 'go to the servers and see what is avaialable. the second says "simulate (-s) an upgrade, and tell me what you would do"
01:03 <****> trac !
01:03 <****> UNDERsoN: apt-get update && apt-get -s upgrade; or use cron-apt or adept-notifier or update-notifier
01:04 <****> adept? ack......
01:04 <****> yeah well...
01:04 <****> never used it myself
01:04 <****> DONT! run like hell in the opposite direction!
01:05 <****> heh
01:05 <****> i am proud of myself for remembering to run "aptitude safe-upgrade" today, so that it wouldn't bitch at me
01:05 <****> !pony stew
01:05 * dpkg gives stew a pony
01:05 <****> \*/
