| seth_k | Razor-X: it comes and goes | 01:35 |
| tiglionabbit | bkv: yes, you can. When you get to the partitioning stage, tell it you want to partition yourself. Select the ntfs partition, and select the "size" thing on it, and change it so it's smaller, so you have room to put other things on | 01:35 |

| seth_k | no no | 01:46 |
| tiglionabbit | 777 is read write and execute | 01:46 |
| fishie | it worked by just using the root terminal and just going to the folder and running ethereal. | 01:46 |
| seth_k | it's a mask, so you put the reverse, yes? | 01:46 |
| Razor-X | errr.. sorry | 01:46 |
| cafuego | tiglionabbit: I know. Still, I'm fairly proficient at C, but when I started hacking ubotu (perl) I wanted to stab myself in the eye with a fork. | 01:46 |
| chrissturm | budluva, i would recommend python or ruby | 01:46 |
| tiglionabbit | read = 4, write = 2, execute = 1. So read+write is 6 | 01:46 |
| fishie | so what would i need for the command to just click on it | 01:46 |

| tiglionabbit | unless I misunderstand umask | 01:47 |
| seth_k | you do | 01:47 |
| seth_k | umask is the opposite of what you want | 01:47 |
| seth_k | so you do umask=0111 | 01:47 |
| tiglionabbit | yeah, hehe | 01:47 |
| Razor-X | ahhh, I see | 01:47 |
| seth_k | and that gives the files the permissions "666" | 01:47 |
| seth_k | i have NO clue why it works like that | 01:47 |
| chrissturm | probably its because you tell it what bits to mask :) | 01:48 |
| tiglionabbit | cuz it's a mask. You know, like in photoshop? | 01:48 |
| tiglionabbit | rofl | 01:48 |
| seth_k | okay, rephrase | 01:48 |

| tiglionabbit | Aragorn_guardian: you could run synaptic, and do all of this through synaptic | 02:49 |

| Wyzard | Aragorn_guardian: "build-essential" pulls in the standard set of packages used for building Debian-format (i.e. Ubuntu) packages... so there are some tools in there that you don't need for compiling ordinary C programs, but they're small and harmless, and "build-essential" is easy to remember | 02:50 |

| Aragorn_guardian | not famiuliar in debian... | 03:01 |
| Wyzard | DonL: It's available, but not the default... they have a tool called "yum" which is similar, though | 03:01 |
| nalioth | Aragorn_guardian: i have no idea, either. | 03:02 |

| bddebian | harold: Do you have anything in /etc/resolv.conf ? | 03:02 |
| harold | bddebian: I'll look.. | 03:02 |

| harold | bddebian: Two nameservers | 03:02 |
| harold | bddebian: (IP numbers) | 03:02 |

| maxy_noob | there's a speedup utility for firefox in windows (firetune or something like that). Is there an equivalent for Linux? | 03:23 |
| nalioth | Tsunamii: you are getting the newest codecs direct | 03:23 |
| tiglionabbit | maxy_noob: we don't have such things in linux, unnecessary | 03:23 |
| harold | bddebian: The hickup came when I attempted to follow the next step on that page, under Installing The Packages. | 03:23 |
| biovore | maxy_noob: not sure.. | 03:23 |
| Tsunamii | nalioth, there's no codec folder in lib | 03:23 |
| Tsunamii | there's only python folders | 03:24 |
| DonL | maxy_noob, : you have to go to go to about:config | 03:24 |
| biovore | I think foxxy tune just changes the window size on the TCP subsystem | 03:24 |
| maxy_noob | ya, but what to change, DonL | 03:24 |
| cwillu | its just rebooting now; it did that before as well (once or twice) | 03:24 |
| bddebian | harold: So the packages built OK? | 03:24 |
| cwillu | it comes up to the initial opening screen (press enter or type server, etc) | 03:24 |
| DonL | change :network.http.pipelining to true from false, then.. | 03:24 |
| nalioth | Tsunamii: make one | 03:24 |
| cwillu | but it just restarts after that | 03:24 |
| nalioth | Tsunamii: and its "codecs" | 03:24 |
| Tsunamii | yeah | 03:25 |
| Tsunamii | will it automatically work? | 03:25 |
| DonL | change network.http.proxy.pipelining to true from false, then... | 03:25 |

| jackhanna | you can argue geek linix all day long... and both people will be correct.. I just find Suse easier for new users to get into | 05:08 |
| madmavric | im still a noob | 05:08 |
| madmavric | probably always will be, but debian just seems to have more online support than any other distro ive tried | 05:09 |

| IceDC571 | i was a complete linux noob, k3b didnt work for me so i just used the terminal and i learned it in like a minute | 05:16 |
| ketiko | dave123: Some of the modules are loaded as dependencies of those modules | 05:16 |
| rebort | dave123: i believe /etc/modules is just a place to specify modules that arent otherwise being loaded | 05:16 |

| inc595 | not every want all three wm's | 05:50 |
| James686 | hello? | 05:50 |
| calc | if i am reading the numbers right the kernel on my box appears to be using ~ 18MB ram itself | 05:50 |
| inc595 | kUser, would be a nice iso to d/l | 05:51 |
| calc | disasm: even 1ghz with 128mb is plenty for them | 05:51 |
| kUser | inc595: some people make such iso(s) available | 05:51 |
| disasm | calc: maybe the default kernel, but the 2.6 kernel is designed to be able to be used in embedded situations as well, so a custom compiled kernel with all the essentials is still pretty dang good on older comps | 05:51 |
| calc | disasm: i used to use kde at work on one like that | 05:51 |
| calc | we just recently upgraded to 3.2ghz | 05:51 |

| nickrud | doug_ you can test sudo by opening a terminal and typing sudo ls. it will ask for your password; enter the password you used when you installed. | 05:56 |

| cafuego | BeatYOu: Just comment out the webalizer stuff | 06:51 |
| nickrud | Tsunamii rhythmbox is on the cd, but you will need gstreamer0.8-mad from universe | 06:51 |
| mae | why does us.archive.ubuntu.com always get borked? | 06:51 |
| BeatYOu | is there an apt-get for webalizer? could use that myself | 06:51 |
| Tsunamii | gstreamer ? | 06:51 |
| cafuego | BeatYOu: Yes, there is. | 06:51 |
| Tsunamii | ok | 06:51 |
| BeatYOu | neat | 06:51 |
| Tsunamii | i'll check that out in snaptix | 06:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | awstats is superior to webalizer | 06:51 |
| Barney | ok, i went to the wiki and tried the first option for fixing my screen resolution, but now i can't see anything. the monitor is completely blank. all the other methods involve being able to see the screen, so does anyone have any ideas? aside from reinstalling? | 06:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | in my experience (which is using them both for a hosting company) | 06:52 |
| nickrud | Tsunamii that gstreamer thing lets rhythmbox play mp3's | 06:52 |
| SysFail | these random kaffeine and konqueror crashes are getting beyond annoying | 06:52 |
| cafuego | HrdwrBoB: it's much of a muchness when clients don't know the difference between a hit and a visit. | 06:52 |
| SysFail | arent these documented anywhere? | 06:52 |
| Tsunamii | nickrud, any other codecs I should download? | 06:52 |

| Tsunamii | hmm | 06:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | if you want a simple pretty page for a few websites | 06:54 |

| HrdwrBoB | it's easy | 06:54 |
| Tsunamii | still not happy about the quality of sound it's producing | 06:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | but if you want to get decent stats for 500 websites per server.... | 06:54 |

| The_Vox | stisev: it depends on the vidcard you use, for the most part....with nvidia, the speedup is about 3x...no clue about ATI | 08:48 |
| The_Vox | stisev: yes, the driver is part of the tools install | 08:49 |
| hyphenated | stisev: did you ever get the ATI drivers working for opengl on that laptop? | 08:49 |
| The_Vox | tiglionabbit: it'll be mounted as home and anything in /home will be inaccessible | 08:49 |

| Razor-X | steven_: type in "ps -e" and put the output in pastebin | 08:55 |

| tiglionabbit | really | 08:56 |
| Razor-X | how about EVMS? | 08:56 |

| HrdwrBoB | The_Vox: because it's not httpd2 it's apache2 | 09:22 |
| jasoncohen | nekohayo, until breezy is released it's a development branch meaning it should not be used as a stable desktop/server and it doesn't get official security support | 09:22 |

| jasoncohen | why does the restrictedformats FAQ say to add hoary-extras and then tell users how to install realplayer from a .bin file and not to use divx/xvid when realplayer is included in extras and xvid/divx, wmv, quicktime, realplayer codecs are in w32codecs? | 09:25 |

| The_Vox | tiglionabbit: you have one partition with everything in it, across a million physical discs if you can fit them in your computer...I have a 400gig partition at the moment here....waiting for money to add another 200gigs :) | 09:26 |

| jasoncohen | tiglionabbit, oh- i don't know about real but you should be able to play divx/xvid, windows media, quicktime | 09:27 |
| pressure_man | debian needs some serious updating | 09:27 |
| pressure_man | and to ditch a few archs | 09:27 |

| Arkainium | HrdwrBoB, why not the latest version? isn't that theoretically the most stable and featureful? | 09:27 |
| jasoncohen | tiglionabbit, realplayer has always been weird- i just added realplayer | 09:27 |
| chong | pressure_man, no debian doesnt need to ditch archs | 09:27 |
| jasoncohen | and try not to use real | 09:27 |
| tiglionabbit | jasoncohen: quicktime's screwing up on me | 09:27 |
| pressure_man | chong: why not? | 09:27 |
| notos | HermanDE: Yes i can ping them | 09:27 |
| chong | pressure_man, because some of us use the arch's that would be dropped | 09:28 |
| jasoncohen | tiglionabbit, works fine here with mozilla-mplayer and also in kaffeine which uses xine. what's your problem? | 09:28 |
| The_Vox | tiglionabbit: realmedia needs the ALL codecs package from mplayer's site...it's not part of the "recommended" which is what I believe gets packaged for hoary-extras | 09:28 |

| HrdwrBoB | wow Jammie thanks for that insight | 09:29 |
| tiglionabbit | the restricted formats thing should mention that | 09:29 |

| fabbione | chatmandoo: yes, but i am a bit busy atm | 09:29 |
| HermanDE | concept10: Yep. At one time, most distros tried to replicate RedHat. Take a look at distrowatch.org and check out how many new Debian based distros have been released in the past year.... | 09:30 |

| jasoncohen | pressure_man, that's what might happen if the vancouver proposal is put into action. it supports having only 3-4 main archs and the rest won't hold up the release | 09:32 |
| chong | pressure_man, and thats fine for those of us that use debian on the server | 09:32 |
| chong | people dont want to update servers every 6 months | 09:32 |
| chong | 4 years is plenty fine | 09:32 |
| chong | hell i still run woody | 09:32 |

| jasoncohen | sarge was held up by arch specific problems | 09:32 |
| pressure_man | jasoncohen: that would definitely rock. | 09:32 |
| HrdwrBoB | Jammie: if you have a specific problem, go ahead | 09:32 |
| HrdwrBoB | but saying 'complete crap' is not helping anyone | 09:32 |
| pressure_man | but essentially, that would be ubuntu | 09:32 |
| notos | tha same ... 2(SERVFAIL) :'( | 09:33 |
| jasoncohen | chong is right. if you want a stable server distro use debian. if you want a good desktop distro or you need more up to date server packages use ubuntu | 09:33 |
| onkarshinde | wdh: I didn't get you? | 09:33 |
| pressure_man | 3-4 main archs.... | 09:33 |
| HermanDE | chong: Here Here.... A server should be stable enough to hold it's own for years... With uptimes in the many hundereds of days..... | 09:33 |
| jasoncohen | but ubuntu doesn't provide security support for a bunch of server packages like spamassassin | 09:33 |
| wdh | onkarshinde, sorry.. i thought i was looking at #debian :P | 09:33 |
| luzbelito | anyone can help me to use dvd shrink under ubuntu or some similar tool ???? | 09:33 |
| jasoncohen | pressure_man, no it wouldn't | 09:33 |
| pressure_man | i don't like the way debian is still a very 2.4-oriented distro | 09:33 |
| Jammie | Hr: okay the debootstrap fails with an exit return 1 and the virtual console 3 has an input/output error. | 09:33 |
| jasoncohen | pressure_man, debian is never going to have 6 month release cycles and it will be tested more thouroughly and will be older | 09:33 |
| Jammie | it's failing on copying a file from the cd to the hdd | 09:34 |
| pressure_man | it doesn't run that cleanly on on modern hardware (eg with PCIe) | 09:34 |
| jasoncohen | it will be 12-18 month no matter what | 09:34 |
| HermanDE | notos: It sounds like your dns servers are having a problem...... | 09:34 |
| wdh | pressure_man, well.. just wait 2-3 years, maybe there will be a new stable based on 2.6 :P | 09:34 |
| chong | no, sarge was held up because they decided to push gnome 2.6... and then gnome 2.8 | 09:34 |
| Jammie | and these cds arent burns | 09:34 |
| Jammie | they are cd's from ubuntu | 09:34 |

| tiglionabbit | ooooh | 01:01 |
| tiglionabbit | in that case routing shouldn't be too much of a problem | 01:01 |
| tiglionabbit | xliu: rar-nonfree is a package you can get from apt (use synaptic). It will add a capability to your already-installed archive managers | 01:02 |

| jtan325__ | i just installed openssh-server on this home computer | 01:25 |
| tiglionabbit | a lot of the time, computers are not connected directly to the internet with their own IP, but instead share internet through another computer (or "router") that routes them to it. Often this "protects" them from incoming connections, because the "router" discards any incoming connections that it isn't told how to handle specifically | 01:25 |
| jtan325__ | are you sure i don't have to do ANYTHING to set it up so i could ssh into here from work? | 01:25 |
| tiglionabbit | so if it is unable to route something, that is supposed to mean that it has hit a router and cannot reach its destination because the particular port is not forwarded to where it should go | 01:26 |
| jtan325__ | i.e. set up a authentication scheme or something, or X11 forwarding? | 01:26 |

In the "categories" section, put "application;AudioVideo" | 01:35 |

| Jimbob | adwait: If your cell phone doesn't have X11 installed, then obviously, you can't run an X application | 01:59 |
| Jimbob | corey: inotify is a kernel feature | 01:59 |
| Tsar_vonHumbug | has there been a new release today? all my repositories are failing :( | 01:59 |
| Jimbob | corey: If your system has it, there will be a /dev/inotify device | 01:59 |

| === tremor [~tremor@dD57647E0.access.telenet.be] has left #ubuntu ["Ik] | ||
| nikkia | gerrath, surely it's ssh_config | 02:02 |
| nikkia | sshd_config would refer to the daemon, and -X/X11Forwarding is a client option, not a server option | 02:02 |
| nikkia | and its ForwardX11 | 02:03 |
| Gerrath | nikkia, sorry I thought thats what he wanted to do was set up the server to allow forwarding when logging on to it. | 02:03 |
| nikkia | gerrath, the server should allow it by default | 02:03 |
| jtan325__ | Gerrath, that option is enabled by default in sshd_config i think | 02:03 |
| jtan325__ | at least for me | 02:03 |
| Seveas | nikkia, the server can disable it too, but indeed that allows it by default | 02:03 |
| Gerrath | jtan325__, Read what nikkia wrote.. | 02:03 |
| Gerrath | jtan325__, I think I miss understood your question. | 02:03 |
| jtan325__ | yeah i did. | 02:03 |
| nikkia | jtan, the option to set it to automatically forward X on a connection is 'ForwardX11 yes' in /etc/ssh/ssh_config | 02:03 |
| jtan325__ | should change "forwardagent" to yes" | 02:03 |
| jtan325__ | also? | 02:04 |

| nikkia | forwardagent is a huge security risk | 02:04 |

| nikkia | jtan, it pushes ssh-agent requests thru the chain of ssh connections | 02:04 |
| nikkia | its risky, very risky | 02:04 |
| jtan325__ | ok | 02:04 |

| Tsar_vonHumbug | adwait, depends how you want access.. telnet will work for instance | 02:05 |
| Jimbob | adwait: Depends on if it's behind a NAT or not, and/or if port-forwarding is working. What are you trying to do? | 02:05 |
| chrissturm | corey, yep | 02:06 |
| adwait | i am trying to get the cell phone app i mentioned above to work.......well it needs to access the apache server on my pc, but since i got this new ADSL connection with the router....it cant | 02:06 |

| Jonax | Quick question - Just got beep but got a problem of being able to open mp3s. Anyone know which package(s) I need to d/l? | 03:13 |
| nikkia | catfox: those drivers vary based on your chipset, so you have to be careful to enable the right one (or just enable them all, there are only like 10 or so, and they're not huge) | 03:13 |
| catfox | the problem is, i dont know which ide chipset my laptop has got | 03:13 |

| schmidtma | thx i ll take a read | 03:14 |
| nikkia | jonax, depends if you think the patent is valid :) | 03:14 |
| nikkia | jonax, MP3 and MPEG are about the most illegal of all patents, IMO | 03:14 |
| Jonax | Good point | 03:15 |
| nikkia | jonax, they're not even really 'software patents' but patents on mathematical formulae (DCT and FFT) | 03:15 |
| catfox | nikkia, i get this for usb_core: usb_storage,ide_cd,ide_generic,ide_disk,piix | 03:15 |
| bob2 | "most illegal" is an unfortunate phrasing | 03:15 |
| nikkia | catfox: then looks like you're using the intel chipset drivers | 03:15 |
| Jonax | Well I'm against software patents altogether so I think practically all of them are bollocks :) | 03:15 |
| nikkia | jonax, as i said, they're not even software patents, i have no clue wtf the german patent office granted them | 03:16 |
| Jonax | Having said that, now that I look at the error messages looks like it wasn't the mp3s that weren't loaded | 03:16 |
| nikkia | jonax, they violate several EU directives on patents | 03:16 |
| Jonax | It was the playlists, album art, etc ^_^ | 03:16 |
| catfox | nikkia, cool, i'll give it a go. i had via82 drivers in there, do you think including both is causing the error? | 03:16 |
| nikkia | catfox: unlikely, to be honest | 03:16 |
| wolverian | nikkia: currently each country can legislate on patents as they see fit, but the patents won't be uniformly enforced across the EU. that is, if germany allows such things to be patented, it's valid in germany and the EU or anyone else can't do anything about it | 03:17 |
| nikkia | wolverian: the EU 1973 legislature on patents forbids patents on mathematical formulae | 03:17 |

| bob2 | Ubuntian: when a local send packets to a remote machine, the router rewrites them, and keeps track of the original source address, and the destination. when it gets one back (on the right port, etc), it looks up who it was for. | 03:33 |
| Ubuntian | well if u do some portforwarding for some applications (azureus) why not for all of them (a browser?) | 03:34 |
| bob2 | those are very different things | 03:34 |
| JanC | Ubuntian : port forwarding is needed for traffic comming from the outside | 03:34 |
| kyoman | port s the dest port,not the source port | 03:34 |
| bob2 | in the BT case, you're forwarding packets coming in from random outside machines | 03:34 |
| Ubuntian | ahhhhhhhhhhhh | 03:34 |
| bob2 | when using firefox, you're sending the initial packets outside | 03:35 |
| Ubuntian | i see | 03:35 |
| bob2 | so the router knows who and where sent them | 03:35 |
| Ubuntian | kkkkkkkk | 03:35 |

| dockane | my dear friends : i ve got 2 network cards. all i would like to know is, if eth0 OR eht1 is connected to my dslmodem. imho ifconfig does not offer this information ? | 05:40 |
| Moppin | grogoreo, I don't think on the basic CLI FTP you can do whole directories and sub-directories. I know you can with ncftp (which is what I use) | 05:40 |
| jeroen_ | BeefTube, if you have an dsl-modem, you could be connected to it via ethernet, so you would have eth0 | 05:40 |
| catfox | merriam, the problem is, under linux i can't connect to the bridge at all to configure it, but i can in win xp. but when i DO configure it, i can't get a signal from it at all. in either windows or linux | 05:40 |

| catfox | nalioth, i was told it turns any wired ethernet device into a wireless one. | 05:44 |
| Moppin | nalioth, basicly it is an access point only. | 05:44 |
| BeefTube | I think it would look better... me running a Linux system rather than a windows system for my l337 game cabinate 8) | 05:44 |
| phlange | hmm | 05:44 |
| nalioth | catfox: so it is plugged into your wired router or directly into your modem? | 05:44 |
| phlange | does firefox just close for anyone else when they try to print something from it? | 05:45 |
| BeefTube | I am going to put a Xbox inside it with a KVM switch | 05:45 |
| catfox | Moppin, so the bridge should be set up in "Infrastructure" mode? (i have it set that way) | 05:45 |
| phlange | i printed from a text file just fine | 05:45 |
| BeefTube | the Xbox is going to run linux too | 05:45 |
| catfox | when i try to configure it, i connect my eth0 on my laptop directly to the bridge | 05:45 |
| nalioth | catfox: i'm not sure what we are talking about. there are boxes that plug into your laptop (ethernet port) and capture the wireless data from another AP | 05:45 |
| catfox | nalioth, this is my current set up. laptop1 -> wired to -> router. but i want: laptop1 -> wireless -> bridge -> wired to router | 05:46 |
| merriam | phlange: printing worked last time I looked. | 05:46 |
| catfox | nalioth, but to configure the bridge, you need to connect directly to it: laptop1 -> wired to -> bridge | 05:46 |

| BeefTube | in ati drivers you must tell it that the 640x480 is incorrect, and add your correct screen resolution, otherwise by default ATI drivers will install the lowest possible | 05:57 |

| dtygel | folks: another question: I'm running an old Pentium II 233mhz (quite old, huh?) with 256MB ram. Ubuntu is working pretty well, but it's quite heavy... Do you have advices to make ubuntu lighter? some ideas? some link about that issue? | 06:11 |
| jesus_ | i have a little clue | 06:11 |
| jmjones | if you want it change permanently, change your .bashrc file | 06:11 |
| merriam | jesus_: I do that all the time between ubuntu boxes. ssh -X works with default settings. | 06:11 |
| Seveas | punkscum, if you want that permanent, put it in your ~/.bashrc | 06:11 |
| jesus_ | mmm | 06:11 |
| Deft | jesus_, check the option "X11Forwarding" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 06:11 |
| jesus_ | then would be debian doesnt work? | 06:11 |
| punkscum | great seveas | 06:12 |
| jesus_ | deft my undestand is that using ssh -X its the same to enable that | 06:12 |
| jesus_ | or not? | 06:12 |
| Seveas | jesus_, the server can block it | 06:12 |
| Deft | sshd_config is for the server | 06:12 |
| Seveas | and then it doesn't matter what the client wants | 06:12 |
| jesus_ | block it? | 06:12 |
| jmjones | anybody on my funkified external usb prob? | 06:12 |

| Seveas | jesus_, yes, in sshd_config on the server | 06:13 |

| merriam | jesus_: yes, I think so too. | 06:14 |
| naelp | Which kernel are you meant to take? the first one? | 06:14 |

| merriam | jesus_: where is the debian box? on the same lan? | 06:14 |
| jesus_ | yeah | 06:14 |
| Deft | jesus_, sshd_config is the configuration for the server, if it is set to not forward X, it will not matter if the client requests it | 06:14 |
| jeroen_ | naelp, what are they? | 06:14 |
| jesus_ | mmm | 06:14 |
| jesus_ | let me try ok | 06:14 |

| punkscum | Seveas : do i just add PATH=":/usr/bin/java/bin" ? in that bashrc file ? | 06:14 |

| jesus_ | sshd_config | 06:14 |
| naelp | linux-386, something else, linux-numbers here-386 | 06:14 |

| Seveas | punkscum, you have installed java the wrong way :/ | 06:15 |
| punkscum | yes | 06:15 |

| brian_ | i'm running the amd64 ubuntu, could that have anything to do with it? | 08:31 |
| kzx | brian_: if it doesn't show up there (or in cat /proc/partitions), you may have to reboot and watch the BIOS messages | 08:31 |
| gnat_x | HappyFool: yes, but they didn't match, and the installer was only going to the second prompt, meaning my first typo was being compared to whatever i retyped. so i just finished the install assuming that i could change it in single user mode. | 08:31 |
| pipatron | lsuactiafner: Why the HELL do you have 200 tabs open? | 08:31 |

| delire | qosmos it's absolutely excellent, but includes alot of 'non-free' software. great for gamers and multimedia artists 'dependent' on Java, Flash, proprietary codecs and drivers. i teach on Mepis at university. Mepis really does just work. Ubuntu however, has much more integrity and is more ambitious as an overall design and as a cultural movement. | 09:14 |

| J_P | my question about ubuntu is, is really stable as debian stable ? | 09:59 |
| J_P | becouse i not use linux for desktop, i use only for servers.. | 09:59 |
| Seveas | HumanPrototype, sounds like your harddisk is broken | 09:59 |
| nalioth | J_P: not at all, but it is possible to cleanly upgrade from woody, but not from sarge, sid or etch | 09:59 |
| Seveas | J_P, ubuntu is as stable as debian | 10:00 |
| J_P | naliothi go install from clear hd, not upgrade.. | 10:00 |
| J_P | Seveas: ohh ok!! thank you! | 10:00 |
| Seveas | J_P, imho even more stable sometimes | 10:00 |
| nalioth | J_P: that is the best way | 10:00 |
| wolverian | J_P: the ubuntu releases are stable in the respect that they only get bugfixes, just like debian stable. they shouldn't crash, either. :) | 10:00 |

| mjr | twb_, well, then I'd recommend just partitioning it (with fdisk, cfdisk, gparted, parted, something), mke2fs -j'ing the relevant partition(s) and copying stuff over (for example, mount the new disk on /mnt, and for copying the root filesystem on it, cp -ax / /mnt | 11:09 |
