the kernel has the modules builtin or lsmod should show some modules?
greycat 2017-01-24 09:07:14
If they're builtin, they're just driver, not modules.
greycat 2017-01-24 09:07:33
Anything lsmod shows you is a module, by definition.
Digital 2017-01-24 09:07:47
i don't know much about the installer and my maintaining requires me to reinstall my oses pretty often, maybe I'm not the best person to help you lol
graps 2017-01-24 09:07:55
Hi all
jelly 2017-01-24 09:07:57
sobczyk: how did you write the image to the medium?
Digital 2017-01-24 09:08:03
what devices should be shown?
sobczyk 2017-01-24 09:09:00
I used mulisystem, but it failed with an error. It copied the iso and extracted initrd, then wrote an entry to the grub.cfg
sobczyk 2017-01-24 09:09:36
I read that debian uses findiso not the ubuntu one iso-scan/filename
graps 2017-01-24 09:09:38
Has anyone used harden or bastille on their server here ?
jelly 2017-01-24 09:10:36
sobczyk: if at all possible, write the image directly to the stick using cp (or dd, but use cp, or win32diskimager)
Digital 2017-01-24 09:10:50
you can run "lsblk" in a terminal, the drives should be shown there
jelly 2017-01-24 09:10:51
sobczyk: this _will_ nuke the current partitions and data
jelly 2017-01-24 09:11:27
debian-installer code does not deal well with unetbootin and similar tools that mess with the image
sobczyk 2017-01-24 09:11:29
jelly: I know, I just wanted to avoid wasting 15 GB of space
jelly 2017-01-24 09:11:37
nope. waste away
Digital 2017-01-24 09:12:05
you can reformat your stick after the installation is complete
jelly 2017-01-24 09:12:30
or help d-i people make the d-i find itself even in such situations
graps 2017-01-24 09:14:13
Has anyone perusedf their apache access.log file for internet visitors here ?
greycat 2017-01-24 09:14:28
!anyone
dpkg 2017-01-24 09:14:29
Please do not ask if anyone can help you, knows 'something' or uses 'some_program'. Instead, ask your real question. (If the real question _was_ "does anyone use 'some_program'?" ask me about instead.) See .
graps 2017-01-24 09:15:12
How do I find out where the IP is originating from instead of just with nslookup ?
greycat 2017-01-24 09:15:31
You can also use whois on an IP address.
graps 2017-01-24 09:15:43
greycat: Thanks !

Do Nvidia cards run the best on linux?
greycat 2017-01-24 09:20:03
Some of them can be made to work with the right combo of drivers, but not all.
greycat 2017-01-24 09:20:17
Ideally you want a video chipset that's about 2-4 years old.
greycat 2017-01-24 09:20:37
If it's too new or too old, you may be out of luck.
tomcres 2017-01-24 09:20:38
n1b: in order to run at their full potential they require non-free drivers, but they generally work
Digital 2017-01-24 09:20:39
Nvidia is a very bad for gnu/linux imo
jelly 2017-01-24 09:20:43
people relying on lack of OpenGL bugs often say only nvidia (closed source) drivers work passably on linux
n1b 2017-01-24 09:21:17
Inst vulkan the replacement for opengl?
zykotick9 2017-01-24 09:21:26
Digital: i'd say s/Nvidia/ATI-AMD/ but ymmv
jelly 2017-01-24 09:21:56
n1b: you're on #debian. Vulkan is WAAYYY too new
Digital 2017-01-24 09:22:27
there is no diver for my readon card and the nvidia card i have works but i heard very bad things about nvidia and linux. also closed source sucks
Digital 2017-01-24 09:22:51
my next graphics card won't be nvidia
zykotick9 2017-01-24 09:23:03
Digital: ahhh, some nvidia card can be used in "freedom", same can't be said for ANY ATI/AMD card :(
nkuttler 2017-01-24 09:23:25
while we're at it, nvidias are the only cards that ever worked reliably for me
nprs 2017-01-24 09:23:43
I have a gt720 in my debian box and it works well.
frikinz 2017-01-24 09:23:51
vulkan is not meant to replace opengl, its aimed at lower level programming
jelly 2017-01-24 09:24:04
zykotick9: this passive cooled HD7450 or so I got in my 2013 desktop at work worked flawlessly, 60+ days Xorg uptime on jessie
jelly 2017-01-24 09:24:09
that's AMD
jelly 2017-01-24 09:24:32
but yes, 2-4 years old :-)
zykotick9 2017-01-24 09:25:30
jelly: i'm not talking about "technical" merrits, my personal criteria is "freedom respecting"... and AMD/ATI has no 3D support without non-free binary blobs - thus it's a non-option (for ME!)
Digital 2017-01-24 09:26:08
intel is said to be good
fgrepper 2017-01-24 09:31:17
ive created a samba share that I can connect to from a windows 10 system, but I can not read/write despite have those options in my smb.conf file. Any ideas?
Digital 2017-01-24 09:31:55
have you restart the service?
fgrepper 2017-01-24 09:32:37
yes ive restarted smb/nmb
Digital 2017-01-24 09:32:57
how do i disable the pc buzzer? there is a module/driver/we i can blacklist
zykotick9 2017-01-24 09:33:04
fgrepper: check the premissions on the actual filesystem the share resides on.
Digital 2017-01-24 09:33:07
I don't know smb
jelly 2017-01-24 09:33:11
nprs: ha, I have a GT720 at home and it's quite unstable with nouveau
fgrepper 2017-01-24 09:33:15
the share directory as well as its parent firectory are owned by the user i am logging in with
fgrepper 2017-01-24 09:33:20
and chmod 777
Digital 2017-01-24 09:33:32
NEVER do chmod 777
fgrepper 2017-01-24 09:33:39
its ona closed network
Digital 2017-01-24 09:33:44
that's so ew xD
n1b 2017-01-24 09:33:45
chmod u+x
fgrepper 2017-01-24 09:33:50
i know i know lol

How do I configure the tin newsreader to work in a server with a bad host ? I get a "socket or connect problem" when I try to substitute a server with "tin -g "
fgrepper 2017-01-24 09:35:23
i just figure 777 eliminates the possibility that its a permissions thing. I have two users created and they are both added to the "valid users" field in smb.conf
jelly 2017-01-24 09:35:24
graps: what does "server with a bad host" mean?>
