[19:05]<zgmjgmjs>nice_lady: RTFM -- Common Internet File System, a replacement for Server MEssage Block (SMB)
[19:05]<da_>undesktop: looks good all the time, only thing is theyve got a light color to them, so you may want to try it bold
[19:05]<fyfgfygg>nice_lady: samba.
[19:06]<zgmjgmjs>nice_lady: For mounting remote CIFS shares, you need the 'cifs' kernel module. For *creating* CIFS shares, samba.
[19:06]<gdrn_frmd>how do I get that?
[19:06]<gdrn_frmd>apt-get cifs?
[19:06]<fyfgfygg>The same way you get everything else.
[19:07]<gdrn_frmd>what is the name of the .deb package
[19:07]<ugmnscvjl>DA_: thank you, I'll try them
[19:07]<da_>nice_lady: you can also use apt-cache search <keywords> to search for packages
[19:07]<ygpgzgyw>nice_lady: google > samba howto; apt-get install samba smbfs; modprobe cifs
[19:07]<zgmjgmjs>nice_lady: You probably already have it in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/cifs
[19:08]<fyfgfygg>nice_lady: You seem to lack understanding of the fundamentals. http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkgtools.en.html
[19:09]<gdrn_frmd>modprobe: Can't locate module cifs
[19:09]<jjxgzj2nzv>anyone know where I can find the startup script which initialises the various terminals (virtual terminals?)
[19:10]<ygpgzgyw>nice_lady: install a 2.6 kernel image.
[19:11]<gdrn_frmd>i'm scared
[19:11]<gdrn_frmd>:(
[19:11]<rrsv>lol.
[19:11]<ygpgzgyw>get someone to hold your hand
[19:12]<da_>nice_lady: dont be afraid, apt is your friend
[19:12]<gdrn_frmd>apt-cache 2.6 kernel ?
[19:12]<da_>nice_lady: apt-cache search
[19:13]<da_>try this: apt-cache search kernel|grep 2.6|less
[19:14]<da_>find the image that fits your cpu and apt-get install it
[19:14]<rrsv>if nice_lady has less
[19:15]<rrsv>[annoying!, less > more, but no less in default install]
[19:16]<da_>i hate more with a passion
[19:17]<da_>cant even go up...
[19:17]<ere0>cast, That's deeply confusing out of context. ^^

[19:21]<afygvsgnv>hey cast, I am really please with this.. testing/unstable etch.. it actually has alot better support I can tell already for laptops.. as I see with the resolution being put in option during config

[19:21]<afygvsgnv>and the install, is alot faster
[19:21]<ygpgzgyw>Knorrie: apt-get install reportbug

[19:22]<rpvnzdnrvx>hi itchi
[19:23]<kgjzzyn>infernix: /me reads man reportbug... i want to fup to an existing bug... i wondered how to generate that part of the information about a package
[19:24]<ygpgzgyw>Knorrie: just run it
[19:24]<afygvsgnv>hm.. now debian is using lilo.. heh.. sure taking alot longer to load boot loader.. I guess I"ll just have to change that :)
[19:24]<afygvsgnv>oh nm, it was going through a check, but I"ll see that later
[19:25]<afygvsgnv>oh my gosh
[19:25]<afygvsgnv>I am heaven right now
[19:25]<afygvsgnv>my touchpad, and resolution seems like its going be a blaze
[19:26]<afygvsgnv>hey cast.. my point and click is working like a charm.. I think now to set the .. resolution for 1280x800, I probably want ot reconfigure, I guess.. debian testin/unstable is using xorg now
[19:26]<czgcnz>hi, i need help setting up a pppoe adsl connection. to install debian with netinst
[19:26]<kgjzzyn>infernix: nice tool :)

[19:27]<nzzzdsnd>i'm nice_lady

[19:28]<2fjgmyn>a CD you boot from, Zaib
[19:28]<zry2>naa amin its a package
[19:28]<ygpgzgyw>!info bootcd
[19:28]<mlcr>bootcd: (run your system from cd without need for disks), section utils, is extra. Version: 2.53 (sid), Packaged size: 52 kB, Installed size: 224 kB
[19:28]<yvaxy>Is there somethings similar as 'kcron' for gnome?
[19:28]<zry2>wid the name BOOTCD hv anyone use it before

[19:29]<2fjgmyn>kanker: don't know if that's possible
[19:30]<czgcnz>what? setting up connection or...?
[19:30]<ygpgzgyw>kanker: apt-cache search pppoe; you probably need to install a package for it. and i think it also needs kernel support
[19:30]<gdrn_frmd>how do I put; mount -t cifs //192.168.0.1/Companies /mnt/Companies , in /etc/fstab?
[19:30]<czgcnz>k gonna try. thx
[19:32]<yvaxy>nice_lady: With an editor as root user
[19:32]<gdrn_frmd>what are the entries I use?
[19:33]<ygpgzgyw>nice_lady: //192.168.0.1/Companies /mnt/Companies cifs username=USERNAMEHERE,password,uid=LINUXUSERHERE,gid=LINUXGROUPHERE,umask=007
[19:33]<yvaxy>nice_lady: Or as root echo "mount -t cifs //192.168.0.1/Companies /mnt/Companies" >> /etc/fstab
[19:33]<ygpgzgyw>probably want to change the umask
[19:33]<ygpgzgyw>and drop username= and password if its a guest share
[19:33]<rrsv>hmm, how does one add a user to a group? i've been going usermod -G all,other,groups,they're,in,plusnewone
[19:33]<yvaxy>yup, without verifing the validity of what you wanted to add in the /etc/fstab like that was not the questinn :-p
[19:34]<rrsv>or i can just add /etc/groups directly,
[19:34]<ygpgzgyw>cast: adduser [user] [group]
[19:34]<rrsv>ahh, cool
[19:34]<rrsv>i knew there should be a better way :)
[19:36]<kgjzzyn>infernix: thanks, that was all i was looking for
[19:39]<nslnavzj>hey guys i have an amd64 but i am using the 32 bit version. if i put amd64 as processor when compiling my own kernel will it be 64 bit or 32 bit?
[19:43]<mrfuyrvnfj>Hi guys, is there an application in Debian that lets me record the screen on a video?
[19:44]<nslnavzj>there's vnc2swf i think
[19:50]<trffu>!alsa
[19:50]<mlcr>Read http://www.linuks.mine.nu/debian-faq-wiki/UseSoundCard or see <alsa-checklist>, or http://alsa-project.org/, or see <alsa one-liner>
[19:56]<rrsv>anyone else ran into 'fusermount: mount failed: Invalid argument' with sshfs and a backports.org 2.6 kernel?
[20:00]<trffu>Could anyone recommend a decent media player? i've only used debian from the console before so I havent really had the need for one :) Now I installed it on my main computer to use and got rid of windows for good
