| cyberanger | linuxman410: sorry | 02:27 |
| cyberanger | am now | 02:27 |
| cyberanger | linuxman410: here now | 02:34 |
| cyberanger | linuxman410: what's up | 02:35 |
| cyberanger | linuxman410: it's based on ubuntu, styled like m0n0wall, debian and crunchbang | 02:40 |
| cyberanger | a real frankenstien | 02:41 |
| cyberanger | I don't really have anything about it yet online, just was sorta trial and error | 02:41 |
| cyberanger | I have a few blogs here and there, but all unused for awhile (unfortunately | 02:42 |
| cyberanger | just not a blogger I guess) | 02:42 |
| cyberanger | just got back from dinner (late I know, but worth the trip) | 02:43 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger you here | 03:05 |
| cyberanger | yes | 03:06 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger i did a minimal install of debian with one kernel forgot root password anyway to change it without reinstalling | 03:07 |
| cyberanger | when grub loads, can you select the recovery mode? | 03:08 |
| linuxman410 | yes | 03:08 |
| cyberanger | then when you boot into that, run 'passwd <username>' replacing <username> with your username | 03:09 |
| cyberanger | then it'll ask you to create a new password | 03:09 |
| cyberanger | extra steps if lvm or dm-crypt are used, but I don't think you've done that | 03:13 |
| cyberanger | hey wrst | 03:17 |
| wrst | hey cyberanger... unplugged my server and didn't realize it until now :) | 03:17 |
| cyberanger | not yet done with setting back up my allways on system | 03:17 |
| cyberanger | whoops | 03:17 |
| cyberanger | linuxman410: did that help? | 03:17 |
| wrst | cyberanger: sounds like you are on process then? | 03:17 |
| cyberanger | on process? | 03:18 |
| wrst | uhh cyberanger... i have no clue what i just said | 03:20 |
| wrst | but sounds like you are progressing ? :) | 03:20 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger now user or root password does not work | 03:20 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger u still here | 03:21 |
| cyberanger | linuxman410: you ran 'passwd <username>' from the recovery console, it prompted you to create a new password and repeat it | 03:21 |
| cyberanger | and that password didn't work? | 03:21 |
| cyberanger | wrst: sorta | 03:21 |
| linuxman410 | yes | 03:21 |
| * cyberanger thinks for a moment | 03:22 | |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger i cannot even login to system now root or user | 03:22 |
| cyberanger | did you modify root's password, did you set one at install (you no longer have to for squeeze) | 03:23 |
| cyberanger | that should not have modified root, unless that was the user you selected | 03:23 |
| linuxman410 | yes i set one at install | 03:23 |
| cyberanger | and you did not modify that, right? | 03:24 |
| linuxman410 | yes i changed it to | 03:25 |
| linuxman410 | no none of them work | 03:25 |
| cyberanger | that's not a normal lockout then | 03:26 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger can i change user password in recovery mode | 03:26 |
| cyberanger | yeah, that's what I was having you do | 03:26 |
| cyberanger | passwd <username> | 03:26 |
| cyberanger | were you not doing that in recovery mode? | 03:27 |
| linuxman410 | ok i am logged in but how do i install programs without root password | 03:28 |
| cyberanger | your at a root prompt now | 03:28 |
| cyberanger | and passwd should already be installed | 03:29 |
| linuxman410 | no at user prompt | 03:29 |
| cyberanger | $ not #, really? | 03:29 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger the only way i can get to root is in recovery mode | 03:30 |
| cyberanger | Are you not in recovery mode? | 03:30 |
| linuxman410 | not now i am in user mode | 03:30 |
| linuxman410 | after i changed password | 03:31 |
| cyberanger | so it did work? | 03:31 |
| linuxman410 | yes but how do i install programs without root password | 03:31 |
| cyberanger | with sudo, but I take it you hadn't yet set that up | 03:31 |
| cyberanger | so it sounds like you'll need to go back to recovery mode, and run 'passwd root' as well | 03:32 |
| linuxman410 | i setup a root password during install that i forgot | 03:32 |
| cyberanger | yeah, from recovery console you can reset it | 03:32 |
| cyberanger | with 'passwd root' | 03:34 |
| linuxman410 | trying now | 03:35 |
| linuxman410 | got it thanks | 03:35 |
| cyberanger | so all is well? | 03:35 |
| cyberanger | linuxman410: that fixed the issue? | 03:36 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger how do i install x so openbox will work | 03:54 |
| cyberanger | sudo apt-get install xorg | 03:54 |
| cyberanger | err, since I doubt you have sudo | 03:54 |
| cyberanger | apt-get install xorg sudo | 03:55 |
| * wrst may get kicked... | 03:56 | |

| linuxman410_ | cyberanger how do i get wireless installed | 04:12 |
| cyberanger | linuxman410_: wicd, network-manager or just wireless-tools | 04:13 |
| linuxman410_ | i got a minimal system got browser and xchat working | 04:13 |
| cyberanger | I use wicd | 04:13 |
| cyberanger | apt-get install wicd-curses | 04:14 |
| linuxman410_ | cyberanger itis not showing up in openbox how do i activate wicd | 04:16 |
| cyberanger | fire a terminal, run 'wicd-curses' | 04:17 |
| linuxman410_ | cyberanger my wireless is not showing it says no networks found | 04:20 |
| cyberanger | your on debian, right? | 04:20 |
| linuxman410_ | yes debian 6 | 04:21 |
| linuxman410_ | asus eee pc 2 g | 04:21 |
| cyberanger | what's your wifi card | 04:21 |
| linuxman410_ | atheros | 04:21 |
| cyberanger | an Atheros card then | 04:21 |
| cyberanger | ok | 04:21 |
| cyberanger | that card might not be in main | 04:21 |
| cyberanger | did you enable contrib and non-free | 04:22 |
| linuxman410_ | no can i enable them now | 04:22 |
| cyberanger | yes | 04:22 |
| linuxman410_ | how | 04:22 |
| cyberanger | sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:22 |
| cyberanger | everywhere you see man, append contrib non-free | 04:22 |
| linuxman410_ | i do not see man | 04:26 |
| cyberanger | sorry, main append contrib non-free | 04:26 |
| cyberanger | dropped an i | 04:26 |
| linuxman410_ | so erase main and write contrib non-free | 04:28 |
| cyberanger | no, append contrib non-free | 04:28 |
| cyberanger | end result is main contrib non-free | 04:28 |
| linuxman410_ | so make all of them say main contrib non-free | 04:29 |
| cyberanger | if it already says main, yes | 04:29 |
| linuxman410_ | ok | 04:33 |
| linuxman410_ | now what | 04:33 |
| cyberanger | sudo apt-get update | 04:34 |
| linuxman410_ | ok now what | 04:34 |
| cyberanger | sudo apt-get install wireless-tools | 04:35 |
| linuxman410_ | ok | 04:36 |
| linuxman410_ | now what | 04:36 |
| wrst | cyberanger: you tell the bot to do that? | 04:37 |
| cyberanger | wrst: yep | 04:37 |
| cyberanger | did you want it around? | 04:37 |
| wrst | cool have fun! | 04:37 |

| cyberanger | if it's a bother, I've got two ways to kick it | 04:38 |
| wrst | .weather 38570 | 04:38 |
| linuxman410_ | cyeranger now what do i do | 04:38 |
| wrst | seem pretty unobtrusive, for now | 04:38 |
| linuxman410_ | do i need to restart | 04:38 |
| cyberanger | linuxman410_: does 'sudo iwconfig' list it? | 04:39 |
| linuxman410_ | it says no wireless extensions | 04:41 |
| cyberanger | sudo modprobe ath5k | 04:41 |
| cyberanger | sudo iwconfig | 04:41 |
| linuxman410_ | says wlan0 is 802,11g ssid off | 04:42 |
| cyberanger | now 'wicd-curses' | 04:43 |
| linuxman410_ | stillsays no wireless networks | 04:43 |
| cyberanger | give it a reboot then | 04:44 |
| linuxman410_ | be right back | 04:44 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger wireless stll no go | 04:47 |
| cyberanger | 'sudo iwconfig' | 04:48 |
| cyberanger | and 'sudo ifconfig -a' | 04:48 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger what os is on yourasus eee pc 2g | 04:48 |
| cyberanger | it's a homebrew | 04:49 |
| cyberanger | I've used debian and ubuntu as a base | 04:49 |
| linuxman410 | what am i looking for | 04:50 |
| cyberanger | wlan0 | 04:51 |
| linuxman410 | ok what should it say | 04:52 |
| cyberanger | it's there? | 04:52 |
| cyberanger | sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 04:52 |
| cyberanger | sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 04:52 |
| cyberanger | wicd-curses | 04:52 |
| linuxman410 | says interface does not support scanning | 04:53 |
| cyberanger | ugh, that's not right | 04:54 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger what else to try if i can get wireless going i got it | 04:56 |
| cyberanger | I'm thinking, surely there's something I'm overlooking | 04:57 |
| cyberanger | are you root? | 04:58 |
| cyberanger | or a user? | 04:58 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger how do i save sources.list it did not save last time | 05:03 |
| cyberanger | ctrl + o | 05:04 |
| linuxman410 | then what | 05:05 |
| linuxman410 | just close it | 05:05 |
| cyberanger | yeah, ctrl + x | 05:06 |
| cyberanger | and since it didn't save | 05:06 |
| cyberanger | sudo apt-get update | 05:06 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger i try ctrl x itdoes nothing to save it still did not save now what | 05:15 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger ctrl o worked but not crtl x | 05:16 |
| linuxman410 | cyberanger you stll here | 05:17 |
| cyberanger | yeah, here | 05:17 |
| cyberanger | are you root? | 05:18 |

| cyberanger | hrm, ugh | 05:18 |
| linuxman410 | it says m a to append | 05:19 |
| linuxman410 | ctrl a to append maybe | 05:20 |

| linuxman410 | wrst how much room does a commandline install of ubuntu take | 14:38 |
| wrst | linuxman410: i would think 5-600 MB | 14:45 |
| wrst | you can get them down fairly small probably smallar if you get into eliminating unedded kernel modules etc | 14:46 |
| linuxman410 | wrst could i add openbox and xchat and a browser and stay below a gig | 14:47 |
| wrst | possibly linuxman410 i reall don't know | 14:48 |
| wrst | not my field of expertise at all on keeping it small | 14:48 |
| linuxman410 | wrst ok thanks have to go to work try to catch cyberanger later | 14:52 |
| orias | hmmm why not dsl or puppy if space is a consideration? | 15:13 |
| orias | or is it somethings he's trying for s+g? | 15:13 |
| wrst | orias: i wondered the same thing | 15:28 |
| orias | puppy's pretty decent these days, even with a gui, it's still pretty small | 15:32 |
| wrst | yes it is | 15:32 |
| orias | wrst: have you had any luck with adobe air on a 64bit system? | 16:41 |

| cyberanger | darnm I got sidelined last night | 19:38 |
| cyberanger | I see linuxman410 still must be having wifi issues | 19:39 |
| cyberanger | wrst: that seems a bit small, however I'll add cli tools that wouldn't be usual for some | 19:40 |
| cyberanger | like nmap (network mapper) for example | 19:41 |
| wrst | yeah | 19:43 |
| cyberanger | definately under a gig though, before you add much of anything | 19:43 |
| wrst | i'm kinda like orias i'm thinking puppy or something might be best | 19:43 |
| cyberanger | but idk how small one could work, and be usable (that usable bit poses challenges) | 19:44 |
| cyberanger | I'm working on remastering a disc so people can have an idea on my setup | 19:44 |
| cyberanger | not sure if and how I'd release it atm | 19:44 |
| wrst | cool | 19:44 |
| cyberanger | kinda the issue of something you make for yourself, plus bandwidth constraints over time | 19:49 |
| cyberanger | how much you wanna support it, for others, and how much will it cost you | 19:49 |
| cyberanger | two questions I have yet to fully answer | 19:50 |
| cyberanger | next time somebody is trying to put you down for being a geek, recall this: http://xkcd.com/898/ | 20:42 |
| cyberanger | I hate tech support calls, wish this actually worked http://xkcd.com/806/ | 22:30 |
