- 21:52:24 [AaronSw]

- 21:54:58 [AaronSw]

- hey guys
- 22:10:39 [davb]
- hi
- 22:14:23 [talli]
- hey dave, i managed to install the 2.4.9 debian kernel!
- 22:14:26 [talli]
- whoo hoo!
- 22:14:44 [talli]
- i seem to have forgotten how to set up networking on my box, though.
- 22:14:54 [talli]
- how do i set my DNS servers?

- Cool.
- 22:39:02 [davb]
- Argh missed him.
- 22:39:48 [davb]
- Talli, if you are using DHCP you don't need to set a dns server. Its is in /etc/resolv.conf (or there is a graphical network settings applet)
- 22:57:50 [talli]
- talli has joined #openacs
- 22:57:56 [talli]
- hello?
- 22:58:15 [talli]
- i must admit i apologize, but i need help from any of the debian masters here.
- 23:02:39 [AaronSw]
- <davb> Talli, if you are using DHCP you don't need to set a dns server. Its is in /etc/resolv.conf (or there is a graphical network settings applet)
- 23:05:44 [talli]
- my prob is that for some reason i don't have /etc/resolv.conf
- 23:05:52 [AaronSw]
- ouch
- 23:06:41 [talli]
- what's that?
- 23:07:13 [AaronSw]
- a helpful channel on this network
- 23:07:19 [AaronSw]
- type /join #debian
- 23:07:38 [talli]
- oh, thanks
- 23:08:23 [davb]
- talli: weird. Is it progeny?
- 23:08:57 [talli]
- no, it's debian
- 23:09:04 [talli]
- i installed just the kernel
- 23:09:17 [talli]
- i don't have resolv.conf, so i created one
- 23:09:22 [talli]
- vi resolv.conf, etc.
- 23:09:27 [talli]
- and put in the nameservers
- 23:09:41 [talli]
- but is there a script i need to run in order to get it to recognize the servers?
- 23:09:46 [davb]
- sure, can't hurt. Is the network card starting up and binding to an IP address?
- 23:09:51 [davb]
- Nope it "just works"
- 23:09:56 [talli]
- ok
- 23:10:08 [talli]
- well, what does "Bind" mean?
- 23:10:12 [davb]
- wait thats not 100% right. You needs to edit hosts
- 23:10:40 [talli]
- what do i put there?
- 23:10:43 [davb]
- I have no idea :) type ifconfig, see it it lists your external ip address.
- 23:11:07 [talli]
- ya, does that
- 23:11:10 [davb]
- never mind. I am spreading misinformation.
- 23:11:14 [davb]
- OK.
- 23:11:23 [talli]
- well, i have another question, too...
- 23:11:26 [davb]
- You are configuring the network by hand?
- 23:11:30 [talli]
- yeah
- 23:11:43 [davb]
- ick. I think there is a script somewhere or something....
- 23:11:56 [talli]
- i have installed the IP addr, i have set the netmask, and i set up resolv.conf
- 23:12:03 [talli]
- but get to ping.
- 23:12:08 [talli]
- do i need to restart something?
- 23:12:09 [davb]
- OK. you probably need a default route
- 23:12:35 [talli]
- how do i set that?
- 23:12:37 [davb]
- type route what does it say?
- 23:12:39 [davb]
- man route
- 23:12:54 [davb]
- I am not sure...
- 23:13:09 [davb]
- This is where my TCP/IP knowledge kinda fizzles out
- 23:13:17 [talli]
- ok will do that
- 23:13:28 [davb]
- You might also need a gateway set in there.
- 23:13:30 [talli]
- also, i'm trying to install XF86 4
- 23:13:37 [talli]
- i need to install debconf 1 to do it
- 23:13:37 [davb]
- Depends on your ISP
- 23:13:52 [davb]
- and you need to download it off the network?
- 23:13:52 [talli]
- but to do that, i need to update perl from 5.0 to 5.6
- 23:14:00 [talli]
- no, can't get it off the network :)
- 23:14:11 [talli]
- i saved the .deb on a cd
- 23:14:38 [davb]
- i think you can only use an actual debian CD with apt
- 23:14:55 [talli]
- when i do dpkg -i perl5.6.deb (or whatever the name is) it tells me that it can't switch perl5 base to perl 5.6
- 23:15:04 [talli]
- (yeah, not using apt)
- 23:15:28 [davb]
- you are diving right into debian!
- 23:15:41 [talli]
- yeah. it's kicking my ass
- 23:15:48 [talli]
- any idea how to fix this prob?
- 23:15:55 [talli]
- ok
- 23:16:14 [davb]
- As long as you ask a specific question, they are helpful. Just don't say, my system doesn't work.. how can I fix it?

- 23:27:12 [davb]
- cool. now all I need is a mac!
- 23:27:21 [wtem]
- but the permissions on new-file-storage seemed weird
- 23:27:37 [wtem]
- do you mind seeing if you can access it at http://openacs.org/new-file-storage/one-file.tcl?file_id=217
- 23:27:46 [davb]
- ok
- 23:27:49 [wtem]
- thanks
- 23:28:35 [davb]
- it looks ok, the filename is html~ so it is not recognized as html
- 23:29:00 [davb]
- I downloaded it.
- 23:29:04 [wtem]
- doh
- 23:29:13 [wtem]
- ok, i'll edit it
- 23:29:50 [davb]
- apparently I can edit or write the file though...
- 23:29:59 [davb]
- at least it is offering my the options.
- 23:31:54 [wtem]
- hmm
- 23:31:59 [wtem]
- i updated it
- 23:32:07 [wtem]
- so that it is not the ~ file...
- 23:34:07 [wtem]
- wow, i can't figure out how you change the permissions
- 23:34:12 [wtem]
- that is messed up
- 23:34:26 [davb]
- weird.
