hi. is there a way to tell dpkg to not "flash the screen" during installer questions? i have zero way of knowing if some script had errors while trying to do something.
sjohnson 2017-02-01 07:48:16
in particular, openswan's key importer setup.
sjohnson 2017-02-01 07:48:30
well, x509 importer to be more specific.
sjohnson 2017-02-01 07:49:01
for all i know there could have been a dozen error messages for a split-second.
sjohnson 2017-02-01 07:52:21
secondly, how do you just exit out? ^C doesn't seem to take.
sjohnson 2017-02-01 07:52:30
like of the installer questions.
n4dir 2017-02-01 07:53:44
not sure if either "tee" or redirecting stderr might help to look at probable errors later, in the logged file
graps 2017-02-01 07:54:07
Does postfix work with smtp, or can it send messages all by itself ?
sjohnson 2017-02-01 07:54:42
both.
graps 2017-02-01 07:56:12
sjohnson: Okay. I've been working with postfix on my server, but it doesn't send e-mail successfully. Does the nobody user flag host/hostname errors with e-mailed messages ?
sjohnson 2017-02-01 07:57:03
not sure what you're asking; i'd check the logs.
sjohnson 2017-02-01 07:57:16
or ask #postfix
graps 2017-02-01 07:58:07
sjohnson: Thanks, I'm off to #postfix
teraflops 2017-02-01 07:58:27
I'm still trying to understand both, the question and the answer
sjohnson 2017-02-01 08:01:15
i understood it to mean that it can relay messages, but who know what he actually meant.
Pr0metheus 2017-02-01 08:17:21
I have configured /etc/network/interfaces with dns-nameservers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx after gateway as stated in the help but although I can ping any ip address I can't resolve hostnames, any idea?
somiaj 2017-02-01 08:17:50
Pr0metheus: do you have resolvconf or openresolv installed?
stoned 2017-02-01 08:18:59
Hello
stoned 2017-02-01 08:19:03
am I online?
stoned 2017-02-01 08:19:12
Lagged out (but on znc)
somiaj 2017-02-01 08:19:12
nope
stoned 2017-02-01 08:19:16
ok good
somiaj 2017-02-01 08:19:19
stoned: /msg dpkg test in the future
somiaj 2017-02-01 08:19:28
that will work if you rae in #debian
stoned 2017-02-01 08:19:29
I recorded an audio on my phone, put it on my debian pc
Pr0metheus 2017-02-01 08:19:32
somiaj I tried to run them but couldn't find them
stoned 2017-02-01 08:19:41
Now if I want to add a bit of reverb to that, how can I do this?
stoned 2017-02-01 08:19:50
I tried audacity but that always freezes up
somiaj 2017-02-01 08:19:54
Pr0metheus: they are packages, you need one of those packages to make use of that dns-nameservers option in your interfaces file
stoned 2017-02-01 08:20:09
Any other software you know that can add reverb to a sound file?
croddy 2017-02-01 08:22:20
stoned there are a number of ladspa plugins that can do reverb but you'll need some sort of audio editor to host them
croddy 2017-02-01 08:22:47
if audacity is locking up and you're using pulseaudio, try setting PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=50 or =100 to run audacity
croddy 2017-02-01 08:23:12
no good if you're trying to do near-real-time processing, of course, but good enough for just editing files
stoned 2017-02-01 08:23:20
let me check
stoned 2017-02-01 08:24:34
host is alsa
Pr0metheus 2017-02-01 08:25:59
Is it possible to put IP addresses in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
jelly 2017-02-01 08:26:24
yes.
somiaj 2017-02-01 08:26:28
Pr0metheus: I would assume so
stoned 2017-02-01 08:26:33
Ok
greycat 2017-02-01 08:26:36
As part of an http:// or ftp:// URL, sure. Why not.
jelly 2017-02-01 08:27:10
whether the http server is going to serve the correct content on http://ip.add.re.ss/ is another question
jelly 2017-02-01 08:27:56
I don't know if ftp has virtual hosts these days
greycat 2017-02-01 08:28:30
I would assume he's doing this for a private repository of his own creation.
greycat 2017-02-01 08:28:48
If he's doing it to get around broken DNS on a public mirror, he should just put the mirror's hostname and IP in /etc/hosts instead.
jelly 2017-02-01 08:28:57
yes
jelly 2017-02-01 08:29:19
I like this talking about the present user in third person and giving them advice.
somiaj 2017-02-01 08:29:21
or maybe fix the dns problem, which might just mean installing openresolv or resolvconf package.
jelly 2017-02-01 08:29:34
Dominance: established.
Pr0metheus 2017-02-01 08:31:11
somiaj exactly, I can't install resolvconf, have no access to anything apart from network
greycat 2017-02-01 08:31:37
Pr0metheus: exactly what problem are you trying to solve?
somiaj 2017-02-01 08:31:39
Pr0metheus: I would use greycat /etc/hosts suggestion over changing the mirror to an ip.
somiaj 2017-02-01 08:31:49
Pr0metheus: or manually put the dns in /etc/resolv.conf
somiaj 2017-02-01 08:32:02
(though this may get overwritten if so, that is what resolvconf/openresolv are for)
teraflops 2017-02-01 08:32:15
stoned: hmm fmpeg-filters or just sox
Pr0metheus 2017-02-01 08:32:15
ok will do with hosts
`ajven 2017-02-01 08:32:29
Hi all ! I'm in country x, got VPS server with squid in country Y. I want to setup squid to as a proxy server. I need it for some programs and web browser see like im in country Y. Could you help me with config please ? http://dpaste.com/19BCQEG
stoned 2017-02-01 08:33:14
I just discovered sox on googly moogly
teraflops 2017-02-01 08:33:36
ffmpeg filters are great too
jelly 2017-02-01 08:33:58
sox still exists?
teraflops 2017-02-01 08:34:01
yeah
jelly 2017-02-01 08:34:02
wow
jelly 2017-02-01 08:34:14
that piece of software is older than Linux, IIRC
stoned 2017-02-01 08:34:20
lol
teraflops 2017-02-01 08:34:21
hehe
stoned 2017-02-01 08:34:26
I wonder if it can do m4a files
stoned 2017-02-01 08:34:30
it surely does wav
stoned 2017-02-01 08:34:36
I got probably compressed crapola from phone
jelly 2017-02-01 08:34:42
!tias
dpkg 2017-02-01 08:34:42
TIAS is "Try It And See".
stoned 2017-02-01 08:34:48
eh, dork :D
teraflops 2017-02-01 08:35:16
stoned: first extract the audio, do whatever you want, then merge the audio tack to the video
teraflops 2017-02-01 08:35:55
or use video editing sw I think
teraflops 2017-02-01 08:36:29
s/tack/track/
stoned 2017-02-01 08:36:33
I already make vidoes on openshot
stoned 2017-02-01 08:36:40
just need to tweak the audio tracks first
stoned 2017-02-01 08:36:45
i wishopenshot allowed audo editing
stoned 2017-02-01 08:36:53
and cutting/pasting like that
stoned 2017-02-01 08:37:15
Let me see if i can just do it on my phone, some android app, then xfer to debian
n4dir 2017-02-01 08:39:33
pacpl might help (in case it doesn't do m4a but does do wav, or whatever formats ) ?
stoned 2017-02-01 08:40:15
well, just gonna add effects in audcatiy, export, and test audio eselwhere
stoned 2017-02-01 08:40:19
stupid testing audio in audacity crahes it
stoned 2017-02-01 08:41:50
yeah, that works. I just dunno why my system's audio config (whatever it is atm, I don't remember) is freezing audacity. Also, I hear nothing but scratch out of hydrogen
stoned 2017-02-01 08:42:03
after I use openshot, mplayer sound is scartchy, have to restart to get sound in system back
`ajven 2017-02-01 08:42:04
any chance to take help here with squid server as a proxy server ?
Artemis3 2017-02-01 08:42:31
stoned, try pulseaudio -k instead of restarting.
teraflops 2017-02-01 08:43:33
`ajven: setup your proxy tell the machines to use it
stoned 2017-02-01 08:43:44
ok
`ajven 2017-02-01 08:44:59
teraflops thank you cpt obvious you save the day
