Stummi, yeah, but compared to archlinux's pacman, aptitude is frustrating as hell
TimurTheLame 2017-03-08 20:58:49
That's what my rant's about
camh 2017-03-08 21:01:01
I thought mate had something somewhere to help this. let me look...
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:02:00
camh: yeah that seems to be what im experiencing
camh 2017-03-08 21:02:20
mate will source ~/.materc. This is done from a bourne-compatible shell, so you can put stuff in there to get it into your environment
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:02:54
camh: should this file exist?
camh 2017-03-08 21:03:03
I have split my .bash_profile and .bashrc into separate bourne and bash settings, so I can easily source the bourne stuff when needed
camh 2017-03-08 21:03:12
it will not exist unless you create it
camh 2017-03-08 21:03:50
the technical problem is that a user can use any aribirary shell so it is not possible for the startup script to load that config
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:03:56
i see
camh 2017-03-08 21:04:16
you will need to provide a bourne-shell-specific environment setup
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:04:20
i need to logout and login for this to wrok right?
camh 2017-03-08 21:04:39
yes, there's no way to push a new environment into an existing process
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:05:04
brb
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:06:57
camh: unfortunately the materc file doesnt do anything
camh 2017-03-08 21:07:48
do you have the file: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55mate-session_materc ?
camh 2017-03-08 21:08:56
oh, it appears that the package mate-session-manager only exists in unstable
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:09:04
ah
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:10:49
there is 40x11-common_xsessionrc
camh 2017-03-08 21:11:05
I'm trying to figure out how I fixed this. The problem has existed for many years and I've solved it myself many times
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:11:11
so i could try adding .xsessionrc to home
camh 2017-03-08 21:11:21
that would work I think
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:11:24
let me try
camh 2017-03-08 21:12:01
aha, that's what I'm using by the looks of it :)
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:12:21
hmm
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:12:43
alright brb
Ax 2017-03-08 21:13:20
is it possible to reset a root password that I forgot? I do have physical access to the server
Ax 2017-03-08 21:13:42
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Root_Password_Reset already tried this but it didn't work
mandeep 2017-03-08 21:14:11
camh: yep that worked. thanks for leading me on the correct path :)

can i fix this?
twouters 2017-03-08 21:37:47
is https://packages.debian.org broken? It doesn't show package pages like e.g. https://packages.debian.org/jessie/python-apt

TimurTheLame 2017-03-08 22:15:24
darxmurf, stable or unstable?
darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:18:31
?
darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:18:40
about the fans now ?
darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:18:47
or about the speed I want ?
darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:19:33
or about the debian version ? :-)
darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:19:36
stable
darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:20:27
driver 375.39. It's weird, the nvidia smi returns 26% of the fan speed and I think it's off
vlt 2017-03-08 22:20:47
Ax: Several ways: Mount and chroot into the root fs of the server and run `passwd`,

darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:35:47
TimurTheLame: unfortunately those machines are in a lab and I prefer to run stable release :-)

darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:42:38
hmmm
darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:42:42
not bad yep
darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:42:44
I'll have a try
babilen 2017-03-08 22:43:24
It might be hard to undo the damage the nvidia installer has done, but see if you (and the tool that comes with the Debian package) can work it out
darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:46:23
well, I can --uninstall it
darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:46:26
it should be ok
darxmurf 2017-03-08 22:46:40
the actual packages are not that bad

One of the insanities of (all?) Linux distros is that from time to time they ask you crazy update questions. Right not "The configuration file /etc/gnome/defaults.ist was modified. Keep or update?" - How am I supposed to know?
pos 2017-03-08 23:37:37
So I've got a 4x3TB RAID0 array with a known bad block (reported in dmesg). I've marked the block as bad with "fsck.ext4 -l filecontainingbadblocks /dev/mapper/md0". SMART checks on each of the member drives does not give a culprit, is it possible to determine which of the member drives are failing from the block number alone?
rgr 2017-03-08 23:39:26
hmm. so much for my "new install and how wonderful gnome is". evolution still as pants as ever and only half working.
