well if you can route through the gateway, its the gateway.. *can’t

traceroute

??

try pinging an IP, not a hostname

I think he means your question is incoherent.

in what sense

this could be a DNS problem.

hmmm, but from last night to morning I left it fine and found back like this

Guerin’s wife stayed with you? maybe the dns server you’re using is down.`cat /etc/resolv.conf`

maddash try dhclient

you WISH my wife stayed with you she’s awesome

yes , but on this computer I am typing is not that using the same dns server this one is perfectly OK

why, off the same internet connection, does my Debian box download 10 times slower than my Windows box?

impossible to say.

why? ‘is not that using’? wtf?

it will resolve any dns problems

he might not be using dhcp.

if that is your problem

is there something that is limiting it?

could anyone help me with alsa?

he might not even HAVE dhcp depends. wget a kernel from a reliable server, say, mit

true

eg, `wget http://www.mit-lcs.lkams.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.5.tar.bz2` and note the download rate

try tuning the MTU down to 1492

alsaconf runs well but then sound is still fubar

morning all.

god I hate this voice-recognition software with a vengeance

im using ssh public/private keys now to log into servers but if i log into a server from a machine without the private key im still prompted for user password, how do you disable ssh password logins and only have public/private key ssh logins? ive got the /etc/ssh/sshd_config open but im unsure on what i need to change.

Question for HW/Kernel People, Need to disable DMA at boot for the root device, other then the broken kernel option ide=nodma is there any other way ?

which?

search for password

VileVoice

DustyBin, there is a little example of that in its man page I think

PasswordAuthentication yes — change this to no?

man sshd_config|grep -i root

DustyBin, yep

has just hung my xp box :/

I mean the other computer that I actually use,

‘disablerootlogins’, or something like that.

How?

aye disable root logins is the first thing i do

vim /etc/ssh/sshd_configenter/passwordentern

alsa problems here… desperate need for help

when i first installed loonix i didn’t have sound for 6 months, i had a radio

rofl ‘loonix

cast, hehe so im not the only one that did that

define “fubar” what program were you running that allowed you to conclude, “fubar”?

bah need to disable DMA at boot and all I can find is broken switches

hello..

alsa installs, alsaconf runs, it recognizes my soundcard model, but lsmod|grep snd throws nothing

how do you guys implement an “auto-provisioning config file” from dhcpd server to your workstations?

aplay -vv *audiofile* throws errores with ALSA lib “soundcard fubar” ish messages

then `modprobe snd`

nothing either

what soundcard is this?

how do i tweak my internet settings in Debian? it is downloading 20 times too slow

what is it downloading?

VIA something… rather old in a compaq machine

Maybe its the server which is slow

but I get the same disparity on any download no, I pull the plug and putting my Windows box in it is fast

Which programm do you use to download something?

my Linux box is a very old computer,.. maybe it is the network card

PietroGiovanni, google to see what driver it uses, then modprobe it

alsaconf should tell you what module to load. it’s usually, `modprobe snd-***`

maybe it is a limited to 10Mbit

That could be.

how do I find out?

ifconfig ifconfig [intf name]|grep txqueuelen

alsaconf tries to find the exact driver and if it doesnt work, i have to modprobe it? something like that? via82xx VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 20)

Linux. Anyone who got a suggestion how to tweak?

so `modprobe snd-via82xx`

modprobe snd-via82xx? ok

sure, if we know what the fuck you’re talking about

should that command echo any lines at all?

shit i just changed my ssh port number on my VPS logged out then tried to log back in… i forget to change iptables arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

use the serial console thingy

ifconfig doesnt specify speed, only MTU:1500

no. that’s because you’re not grepping well enough. try the second command.

ok it didnt now what?

I think grep only returns a subsection of whatever you’re grepping. txqueuelen doesn’t appear in the output.

now blast away is your interface up?

0 SRC=192.168.2.2 DST=192.168.2.255 LEN=229 TOS=0×00 PREC=0×00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=138 DPT=138

bolt, got any samba clients ?

how do i find MX infor for a domain using dig

yes, but they’re all connecting through the router. none on that segment, so none of them will get the broadcast messages anyway.

maddash - I don’t understand what that means (doh)

tell dig you want the mx records

ok ive managed to log into the box from the console

dig mx domain.com

i just added a drive and im not sure how to make it automount when system boots up…i created a dir /media/storage and ‘mount /dev/hdd1 /media/storage’ but cant remember what i need to do next

bolt, ah, they are normally used to decide on pecking order for the master server, best to dig at the docs

im sure its something with fstab or mtab

does anybody know how to flush 1 iptables rule? and replace it with another? this is the rule i need to flush: ACCEPT tcp — anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:1303

`ifconfig [intf] up`

put it in your fstab

i need to change that port number with another

there’s always a txqueuelen in ifconfig’s output

moshii easier said then done…i cant remember the permissions…do i just look in mtab and copy that info to fstab?

permissions?

user,auto etc…

add ‘auto’ to the line in fstab

use defaults

so when i mounted it…it automaitically put it in fstab?

yes no

no, it automatically goes in the mtab

you need to add a line to fstab yourself assuming that it’s currently mounted, use the output `mount` to help you create the entry in fstab

TBH it’s not that hard /dev/hd?? /mountpoint fstype defaults 0 0 job done.

thnx…but i was just looking in fstab and dont swap actually get a mount point too? cause it says “none”

no, swap isn’t an fs

ok thnx

‘ifconfig eth0 up’ doesn’t display anything.

`ifconfig eth0 up ; ifconfig eth0 ; ifconfig eth0|grep len`

that’s just there so when the initscripts run they add the swap partition to the kernels swap pool

‘ifconfig eth0′ returns eight lines which don’t contain txqueuelen

aight gonna test this out brb

paste the output geezus kryst

also, you don’t need to specify auto in the fstab.. auto is the default behavior

he didn’t ask for the default behavior, he asked for auto. nor did he specify that he’d never fiddled with fstab

you have to tell it not-to-auto mount

wtf are you talking about?

meh

http://pastebin.com/m54daba5b

if he wants auto, why would I tell him to add “noauto”?

yes, but you don’t need auto at all

pastebin.ca is so much cooler. but w/e. yes, but how do you know he wants the defaults? geez

because thats what he would have got when he mounted the drive with mount /dev/ /mountpoint

how do you know that the default settings are exactly what he wants ? giving him defaults is like cutting off a leg to treat an infarction

so the fstab d-i creates is bad(tm)?

unbelievable. do you know the sysfs addr of eth0?

hello

ls /sys/class/net/eth0/ the fstab the installer creates is minimal. wtf does it have to do with an extra mount point?

looks nice

I need to compile a kernel for a slow box running debian sarge, may I do it on a (faster) Feisty Fawn laptop, or am I going to face troubles and better be patient and compile “in place” ?

thanks

assuming that you’re using make-kpkg, you’d probably want to compile in place (not entirely sure). anyway, you can speed up the compile times with distcc

the point is you don’t need to specify options in most cases, writing about cutting of legs doesn’t change that fact

maddash, yes I planned to use make-kpkg, to get a clean .deb which would be deployed to several other similar boxes afterwards

the point is that you’re nuking iraq when all he asked was to take out saddam

.. /sys/class/ doesnt exist: http://pastebin.com/m4f44ba8b

the only trouble is can see is that ubuntu’s make-kpkg will be using ubuntu’s mkinitrd scripts etc

christ. if you’re on ubuntu, then forget it. use distcc. google, “myrddin kernel distcc” is this debian?

also in that paste, why do I have to do ’su -’ each time I want to ls ? yes

why do you need to compile a kernel for the sarge box?

thanks, will look into distcc

`uname -a` cuz it’s so fucking slow.

installed from a net boot disk

‘I need to compile a kernel for a slow box running debian sarge’

uname -a doh wrong prompt :p

building a kernel won’t improve performance

you ever see all those warnings (locale not set) when you do a dist-upgrade? does ‘dpkg-reconfigure tzdata’ fix all those warnings

3 UTC 2006 i686

I could be wrong, but if you could be seriously fucked if your sysfs is “fubar”

because all my servers now use public/private keys, if im at my friends house who uses windows and i want to log into my box how would i do it? could i copy putty + the private key onto a usb drive and do it from that?

I need to disable EDID to avoid the box to hang at bootup when no screen is plugged in, between grub and kernel bootup (that’s what the board’s manufacturer told us)

what would timezones have to do with locales

you need to generate a key with putty’s tool and use that

dpkg-reconfigure locales maybe

i dont know but i remember someone talling me that long time ago i thought

there may be a kernel option to do that

nvz trying it now

i have 2gb of ram in my machine, but it only sees 1gb, is debian only able to see 1gb by default maybe?

probably better to find that option and run a stock kernel

sry, I meant, `cat /proc/version`

the bios sees all 2gb

you are right, will search for that first.

maybe. pastebin your /boot/config-`uname -a`

where does it hang at boot? I didn’t realise the kernel read the EDID

maddash just a second, thanks

forget it. ‘grep -rin highmem /boot/config-`uname -a`’

use a 686/k7 kernel

pastebin the output of *THAT*

what does uname -r say?

ok… this alsa sh1t aint working… any alternatives?

btw, uname -r there

maddash no such file or directory uname -r 2.6.18-5-486

I didn’t realize either. It hangs just before the line “Uncompressing the kernel…” (and thus after grub) if no monitor is plugged in. We reported to the board manufacturer (its a geode based kind of embeeded board), and he told us after some research that we had to disable EDID in the kernel for the board to boot properly headless

hark 686 kernel would fix this?

yes

can i install that with apt?

‘uname -a’ should be ‘uname -r’, as Hark suggested

PasswordAuthentication no it stops ssh logins just what i want and i can use the keys instead, but one of my users is for SFTP and id like to keep that login as a normal password, is there any way around this?

it took you a reboot to figure that out? lsmod|grep snd

install linux-image-2.6-686

define “aint working” 686 wouldn’t help if it doesn’t have highmem enabled

weird, I think it’ll be a framebuffer setting then.. hanging just before the kernel switches into a proper fb

aint working as in no mixer because of “device not found” error

and you have the modules loaded?

nope never where

i wouldn’t have suggested it otherwise

were*

is there a place somewhere where all available kernel options are listed/documented?

do i want that or linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem ?

you could possibly tell the kernel to use only a serial console, that’d be more useful headless anyhow

then what were you expecting? modprobe the freakin’ module

that’s for 4-64G RAM

modprobed it… still dont hear sh1t

maddash, if i upgrade the kernel will i need to reinstall things like the postgres server?

not really. Serial port is already in use, and we only connect to the boxes through ssh, or by plugin in a monitor in at certain (rare) times

hark, ok so go with regular 686

heck no

http://paste.debian.net/36981

how do you try to “hear shit”? aplay or something?

aplay

maddash, so everything will come back up correctly? great.

and i hear alot of bullshit

how can I figure out if there is a kernel option available at all to disable that EDID stuff? I was unable to locate anything with google, but may have been bad at it…

er, try xmms or other aplay only eats raw or wav and it sounds like you’re feeding it some compressed format

I have wheel mouse and I have upgraded to 4.0 but my wheel is not working?

what you’re hearing is indigestion.

now i hear music

i think you just need to change the video option so that the kernel doesn’t need to probe, gimme a second I’m looking

wasnt that hard afterall

way to go. geez.

would it be too much to ask sound from my flashplayer now?

next time, `man aplay`before using it

yeah, should have man’ed it… god… i even have flashplayer sound amazing

moshii, thx a lot!

don’t hold your breath.

I have a tape library connected to my host. when I look at dmesg I got the following error: scsi0 (0,3,2) : reservation conflict. Is this a serious problem? Or can I just ignore it?

need ALSA help, anyone? i installed a patched (with patch_realtek.c and hda_proc.cversion of alsa-drivers-1.0.14 yesterday whoops need ALSA help, anyone? i installed a patched (with patch_realtek.c and hda_proc.c) version of alsa-drivers-1.0.14 yesterday and the installation was successful but still no sound

alsaconf, dude

maddash, lol

ah ok i’ll try that

you’re an arse

no, I’m right.

http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/svga.txt — I think setting a standard mode in there will stop the kernel starting the vesafb..

nope, still no sound

the vgacon should work and not do any probing

computer thinks i have a soundcard but it’s just not playing at all soundcard is fine, cos it works in windohz

ask hark, I’m tired.

lol k uh hi are you there?

insert slashdot 14 year old jokes about you being a bald hairy guy that lives at his mums place here

moshii do you have a problem?

nope, apparently maddash does

 

The Best Webmail Web Host

 

i would suggest stopping the whines

ok, I’ll try that right now

hi all

you could use one of the pci options to disable the graphics controller totally also in the long run it’s better to find out exactly where the problem is so that it can be reported and fixed yeah, ok sorry dad

I could not connect to internet after I opened my computer this morning and on the output of ifconfig I see that I can not get ip address, instead the address of the gateway is listed, so what could be the prpblem

you use dhcp?

uh… can i talk to you regarding that stuff you sent or are you still too tired?

moshii,yes

fire away then dhclient, for fuck’s sake.

moshii, normally last night everything was ok

if you run dhclient interface… do you get an ip address host address?

k well i tried what you said and still didn’t work… alsamixer shows all volumes OK. the mute button and volume control buttons are ok… except there’s a light on the mute button which should indicate if it’s muted or not but it stays off whatever i do

you horse is getting very high, I would hate for you to fall from it

you know what else is high?

moshii , dhclient eth0 results in the same output in the ifconfig

high things?

I have default cron jobs like this, what are they for ? [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm

did you get any dhcp offers or naks?

[ -d /var/lib/php5.1 ] && find /var/lib/php5.1/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/share/php5.1/maxlifetime) -print0 | xargs -r -0 rm

moshii , you mean during boot up

mute button led is probably controlled by a driver specific to your hardware. is your volume muted? lsmod|grep snd and pastebin the output (if any)

no, when you run dhclient you should see it sending requests and then hopefully offers from a dhcp server

kk hang on

i have a disk from an working system installed and booting a new computer, with 2 ata disks. on the ata disks i’ve created 2 raid1 devices, and on the second only, a lvgroup. everything mounts ok when booted from the old disk, but nothing happens when i attempt to boot from the ata. i suspect grub isn’t properly installed on /dev/sd[ab]. any idea?

btw i’m on my main comp, gnu/linux is on my laptop (doesn’t have net)

if you get no offers your won’t get an ip address and it ain’t going to work

hello. Using Openoffice.org 2.2.1 i can’t select any java runtime environment.

what’s the debian pastebin address again?

geez.

pastebin.ca

moshii, yes DHCPREQUEST and DHCPACK are there moshii , but can not paste the output

do the last couple lines indicate that you got an ip address?

moshii,only bound to 192.168.0.175

you got an ip address then.. in the output of ifconfig that address isn’t there?

http://pastebin.ca/695408

moshii, I get bound to …

(also when i try to load snd_hda_codec it gives me a bunch of errors, but for some reason the install didn’t make this load on bootup)

where’s ac97? what errors?

moshii but that is not my static ip hosting I know for sure

didn’t show up on lsmod | grep snd what’s ac97?

if it’s dhcp it may have changed

moshii, I see so any other idead ideas

hum… I tried vga=0×0f00, 0×0f04 with no change so far

never mind, what errors from *_codec?

geode is x86 isn’t it?

a bunch of “disagrees about version of symbol snd_*”

yes it is

that ‘bunch’ could be incredibly useful.

try pinging your gateway, makes sure your /etc/resolv.conf is good.. less likely but maybe you’re getting the “wrong ip” because there is a rogue dhcp server running

so..how do i fix it?

do you know what graphics chipset is on that board?

by giving me the error output ?

not exactly, will look for that info. I tested with 0×0F01 (smaller font), and it does indeed change to a smaller font before it hangs (I can see it by lugging the monitor back in afterwards)

Since the update of libxml2 to version 2.6.30.dfsg-2 openoffice doesn’t work anymore: “/usr/lib/openoffice/program/javaldx: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: gzopen64″ A downgrade to version 2.6.29.dfsg-1 fixes it.

I think it hangs when it changes to the framebuffer for the chipset on the board..

oh right ok hang on

is there easy to use imap server easy to setup

the driver probably probes there using some legacy feature that isn’t there in your board

lol nv,md i got the sound to work by editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base but for some reason the mute button does jack shit lol

moshii , I can ping my gateway moshii, one question the machine I use now also has a resolv.conf, do the both for the same network be the same

what did you edit?

ahh i get it the keyboard mutebutton/volumebuttons are contrlling the headphone output, how do i get them to control the PCM output?

I mean the problem pc and this one

if the board has a spare serial UART that isn’t in use passing console=ttyS?,115200 or similar will disable the local console

added http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrixoundcard#Setting_up_modprobe_and_kmod_support

what did you do inside alsa-base, I mean ah.

and also the line option snd-hda-intel model=auto

resolv.conf contains your DNS servers, both should probably be the same

moshii, but they are not the same one entry is the same but the other is different

oh, model=toshiba i mean, even though my laptop isn’t a toshiba :/ i just read it off some website

I don’t think you can, because pcm is software, but the buttons are hardwired

http://www.osnews.com/story.php/2949/The-Very-Verbose-Guide-to-Updating-and-Compiling-Your-Debian-Kernel/page2/ near the bottom. it says i should do “apt-get install tk8.2 make gcc bin86 libc6-dev kernel-package”

2.4? geez.

try adding the missing entry from the working one to the top of the broken one

but this fails. is tk8.2 obsolete?

oh, so what about the main output?

what about it?

you might have a working connection but a broken resolver

use libncurses5-dev. ^^

k

well atm the volumebuttons are ctronolling the headphone output, isn’t that software too instead of pcm?

moshii, actually, I tried that but then after a restart it goes back to the problem state

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software

lol right right well i didn’t know what PCM is

does it work when you change it though?

moshii ,nope

then what freakin’ difference does it make to you?

moshii wait

how can I reinitialize the mysql datafile-structure? /var/lib/mysql is empty

/etc/resolv.conf gets rewritten by dhclient, so that’s why it changes back on boot

moshii, I got that I changed that do I have to do something additional moshii , after changing

hello. how can i force a kernel panic on etch?

basically i can’t control the output volume using my keyboard buttons. when i use the ALSA mixer it changes the “headphone output” when i need it to change the “pcm” output, and when i use the OSS mixer it changes the “PCM-2″ output when i need it to change the “volume” output

you need to this that your gateway works, traceroute and that your DNS works

hi guys, how do I add more than one ip address to a single interface (and the first ip must be obtained using dhcp)

moshii ,the first action you mentioned

i used to use ip addr add IPHERE interface, but the ‘ip’ package doesnt come with debian ;

moshii , can you be more specific

I just tested the serial console solution. First with screen plugged in: the line “Uncompressing the kernel…” does appear on the monitor, but the rest doesn’t. This is exactly the expected behavior. When I do the same with no monitor plugged in, this line does not appear at all, so it hangs anyway… Weird!

/proc/sysrq-trigger” doesn’t work for me

use iproute package

hi

now that i have sound, im off to listen to music bye

the uncompressing kernel line comes from the bootloader..

currently if I need a package from experimental I go to the web, download the releant deb(s) and install them manually with dpkg - is there a saner way to do this _without_ switching to an experimental distro (if there is such a thing at all)

hum… I don’t think we still are in the bootloader when it hangs, because it changes the font properly when I ask to do so, before hanging. Or is it the bootloader that does change it? I don’t think so

nvmd, apparently there’s two set of ctronols for headphone output and laptop’s-own-speakers output, i’l be using other speakers anyway so that’s fine thanks for the help, or attempt anyway, even though you didn’t actually do anything

you can use aptitude install -t experimental package

true, do you have anything you can connect to the serial port, you may see the reason there

1.1 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Geode LX I don’t think it works any better when on serial console: it hangs the very same way at the very same point

mmm does the board have an lcd controller?

yes it has an lvds controller also I tried disabling it or not in the bios, but it didn’t change a thing… maybe I should try disabling AND the serial console just did it: bios configured to use CRT only, and serial console: hangs the same way

if you can find where on the bus the graphics chipset is you can disable it totally

didn’t I tell you not to hold your breath?

how can that be done? lol

so bless us with your knowledge then being the big man your are you should be offering to disassemble the bios on py’s board to resolve the problem by now I’m just looking up the options, looking at the docs for the geode stuff… the graphics hardware is pretty funky/broken on some of the chips

I thought he was joking and not criticizing your kind efforts to help me… that’s the way I understood it at least

er, I’m not big, nor am I a man? geez.

nah, he’s being a big headed arsehat don’t use defaults in your fstab, it’ll start a war in iraq.. wtf, more outside time for ‘ye

hrm, my middle button and trackpoint are making iceweasel forward and back load pages i cant find it in about:config

at the same time I’m trying a kernel compilation on another of those boxes disabling EDID (the way the manufacturer told me) to see what comes out

it’s ‘mouse horiz’ or something horizscroll.withnokey.action

danke

yeah, weird though.. the EDID shouldn’t be probed when the hardware isn’t used you would have thought..

heh, I changed it so that I get 2-D scrolling w/ the trackpoint

yeah, it doesn’t make much sens sense

and fwd/back when alt is held down

maybe when the kernel does a probe of the pci bus at the start of booting it forces the graphics chipset to look for a monitor..

2d scrolling?

up/down, left/right or diagonals

i got up/down, but if i pushed hard, it would go back forward too

maybe a reason not to use x86/legacy x86 bios in embedded hardware

yeah, well, change horizscroll.withnokey.action to “0″

yeah, done. thanks

anyway I need the boards we have to work…

and change sysnumlines too, or else your horizontal scrolling would stay opposite to what you’d expect

Does anyone know of some good storyline role playing games?

ok. i try with a clean kernel or write a bug-report the other question is about nscd it doesn’t seams to work right on hosts caching i tryed fedora glibc2.3.6 and debian etch fedora works, debian doesn’t

I’m currently running a kernel compile (using make-kpkg), with distcc. It properly distributes stuff to my second computer (distccmon shows it), but most seems to be done locally: load is 4.XX while other box is as low as 0.3. How can I get distcc to send more load to the other, more powerful box?

Why is modules.conf.old not deleted from my sysem as update-modules is obsolete?

is there any program around that knows how to do a “ls -R” on a ftp ?

probably you can mount the ftp server via fuse

hey people… i’m looking at http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads.php but there’s no debian version. will the ubuntu version be compatible with debian?

ask the truecrypt mailing list or try for yourself.

right ok thanks

there a reason why you’re wanting to use truecrypt?

or just compile it from source

can anyone recommend a cd ripper that automatically tags files with metadata including album art?

can I do that in a fast-straight-forward-way ?

./configure –prefix=$HOME && make && make install

not really, just wanna try it out, someone suggested it :p

I have no idea

right ok, thanks… but that won’t show up on synaptic as a debian package would it?

no, it wouldn’t.

ahh, well, you can compile it. i suggest you not bother with it though, it doesn’t bring anything to the table in !windows land

but you can make your own debian package but that requires you to read specifications of the deb package format. i.e. some work.

ahh right ok, and make my own debian/rules thing what’s “!windows land”?

!!

I’m not your fucking csh prompt.

but maybe somebody else already did unofficially

! is not

oh right ok, i’ll have a search around, thanks

there are other probable more secure packages, though.

uh “not windows land”? sorry if i’m being slow but i still don’t get it… what d’you mean?

in particular smaller code base.

we have dm-crypt, which is quite good.

yeah i got two dm-crypted disks, just wanted to try this truecrypt thing out :p

ok, well, try then

if you were wanting to experiment with anything i’d think it should be the LRW mode with dm-crypt

oh, what’s the default?

cbc-essiv as LRW isn’t in 2.6.18, it is in .21 though,

oh, crap, 2.6.18 is my version ahh well, it’s not like i have anything that needs encrypting on my lappy btw what did you mean when you said “more secure packages”?

I forgot the name of the specific package as I don’t use encryption myself now. it could well be dm-crypt

oh, ok

The best you can do is to read the implementation of one product. You need to understand quite some crypto, though, to make sense of it.

nano

right ok cheers for the help and info is there a shredder program for gnu/linux?

shred, wipe expect them to be ineffective however

how come?

info shred

Hello folks, I just ran apt-get install postgresql-8.1′ PostgreSQL was installed but it did not install a startup script in /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d/

ah right ok, well it says it’s effective on default ext3 drives

it says the opposite doesn’t it
