00:45.11 | netc0de | i wanna just downgrade a package |
00:45.12 | npx | if Mono takes us any closer to that, I'm all about it |
00:45.12 | netc0de | :/ |
00:45.14 | nvz | pixelmonkey: you have to ask where there are knowlagable people |
00:45.17 | justdust | xdm rules |
00:45.18 | dondelelcaro | netc0de: so just dpkg -i foopkg.deb |
00:45.22 | Phated | dondelelcaro: He's done it too many times. See? I'm even calling him a he! :) |
00:45.23 | directhex | dondelelcaro, but he fails against searle's chinese room argument |

00:45.33 | dsg68818 | hi cafuego |
00:45.42 | dsg68818 | I tried to find this directory |
00:45.44 | pixelmonkey | npx: that's not the ultimate goal of Mono, I don't think. Unless the Windows apps you are talking about are developed under Mono for Windows. |
00:45.46 | dsg68818 | but I can't |
00:45.46 | netc0de | i've update some package in my debian woody to testing.. |
00:45.54 | Uwe | How do I find out my internet connexion speed? |
00:45.59 | npx | pixelmonkey, I realize that |
00:46.00 | *** join/#debian jaggy (~jaggy@dsl081-085-248.lax1.dsl.speakeasy.net) |
00:46.01 | netc0de | and it updated some dep package.. |
00:46.04 | jaggy | re |
00:46.13 | Phated | And broke your system, you idiot. |
00:46.14 | pixelmonkey | nvz: I agree, GIMPNet shoulda been my first stop |
00:46.17 | npx | pixelmonkey, but a full-featured C# dev environment is a big step in that direction |
00:46.18 | netc0de | now I wanna downgrade that updated dep package |
00:46.30 | netc0de | dondelelcaro, understood? |
00:46.32 | dsg68818 | could you help me on that? |
00:46.34 | dondelelcaro | netc0de: dowgrading packages is not supported. |
00:46.43 | directhex | pixelmonkey, mono 2.0 is due to run windows.forms, allowing it to run any basic apps compiled with the windows .net framework compilers |
00:46.44 | pixelmonkey | npx: 'course... truthfully I'm more of a C person, but I just like the ideas behind some Mono apps... |
00:46.47 | dondelelcaro | netc0de: you're better off just completing the upgrade to testing proper. |
00:46.49 | RememberPOL | how do i print information about my video card? (Xfree86 crashes with: "Caught signal 4") |
00:46.53 | dondelelcaro | !downgrade |
00:46.54 | dpkg | i heard downgrade is not possible with apt-get currently. No future support is anticipated. Some programs change the binary format of their files in a way that cannot be rolled back later. If you find you want to try going from unstable/testing => stable, then read http://www.debianplanet.org/node.php?id=880 or The Debian Reference Section 6.2.7, or http://people.debian.org/~osamu/downgrade.html |

00:47.14 | npx | I use Python mostly |
00:47.17 | pixelmonkey | directhex, emphasis on basic I think :) but yes. |

00:47.45 | jaggy | it stopped working after I installed packages and configured X |
00:47.49 | pixelmonkey | jaggy: 0.13 is the latest I think |

00:47.56 | Uwe | thorie: how do I find out the theoretical speed? |

00:48.03 | SlayerXP | netc0de: just resotre your system to the backup you made prior to the upgrade |

00:48.06 | SlayerXP | restore |
00:48.13 | abrotman | mikeeusa: gonna talk about debian? |

00:48.45 | mikeeusa | SlayerXP, Fu ph4g |
00:48.45 | npx | hahaha |
00:48.46 | jaggy | pixel, there's another aspect to this.. I installed a bunch of packages (was at a "base install" state prior to that), then ran X without rebooting and the touchpad worked. After rebooting it doesn't work |

00:49.12 | jaggy | I do have the URL and the tar.gz for the driver I found online.. just wondering if I need it being that it worked prior to rebooting, without installing this driver from the web |

00:50.00 | nvz | pixelmonkey: programming is usually not good questions for a distro users group.. but in #debian you have a large ammount of perl and shell hackers of course cause debian revolves around it.. so you could get away with certain languages.. however debian would be debian just the same without mono.. I will bet 99.9% of the people not only arent knowlagable but are just as ignorant to its very existance as I am |
