| pantz_ | hey hey you guys rock - i did the dpkg -i and installed it - now things are looking good | 12:44 |
| tory | cool | 12:44 |
| pantz_ | should i report the lack of the gtk-engine-smooth package as a bug? | 12:44 |
| xxorrorxx | heh no | 12:44 |
| phlaegel | pantz_: it's been done already, iirc | 12:44 |
| pantz_ | cool | 12:45 |
| tory | do what sabdfl suggested. run "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 12:45 |
| pantz_ | yeah its running at the mo | 12:45 |
| pantz_ | i did the dpkg -i first | 12:45 |
| phlaegel | btw, installing packages from debian like that is not recommended... you should install packages from the ubuntu sources only or things *might* break | 12:45 |
| sabdfl | pantz_: those comands bring your system completely up to date | 12:45 |
| xxorrorxx | sabdfl: is that a good idea if you're using universe ? | 12:45 |
| sabdfl | xxorrorxx: it won't actually install new software, just update the software that's on your machine | 12:46 |
| xxorrorxx | sabdfl: oh | 12:46 |
| pantz_ | oh yeah - is ee the dist-upgrade option had the package in it | 12:46 |
| sabdfl | if a package gets a new dependency, that will be brought in | 12:46 |
| sabdfl | but a package in main cannot depend on a package in universe | 12:46 |
| pantz_ | well thanks heaps for your help anyway guys | 12:46 |
| sabdfl | (or it could, we just don't allow that) | 12:46 |
| xxorrorxx | I did that ,it installed smooth , but I dont see it as an option | 12:47 |
| xxorrorxx | in 'themes' | 12:47 |
| phlaegel | you won't | 12:47 |
| phlaegel | it just works on themes that use it | 12:47 |
| xxorrorxx | oh | 12:47 |
| xxorrorxx | what themes use it | 12:47 |
| tvon | the smooth package is just the engine | 12:47 |
| phlaegel | glider is one | 12:47 |
| tory | smoothgnome is another | 12:47 |
| xxorrorxx | what does it do exactly | 12:47 |
| phlaegel | glider == smoothgnome | 12:47 |

| pantz_ | so being the debian newbie that i am - if i run apt-get dist-upgrade everyday for the rest of my life - i will always have the most current version of ubuntumumutumu? | 12:47 |

| lamont__ | but warty will all but stop changing (other than security issues) in about a month. | 12:48 |
| lamont__ | ... | 12:48 |
| xxorrorxx | phlaegel: whats the best place to find new themes/engines art.gnome.org ? | 12:48 |

| sivang | xxorrorxx : you can install all sid's available gtk-engines | 12:49 |

| sivang | xxorrorxx : which add quite a nice look and feel, plus extra thems also from sid's repository | 12:49 |
| pantz_ | lamont__ so when warty is done - i change my sources.list - which i then set to the next version and away it goes? | 12:50 |
| sabdfl | pantz_: yes | 12:50 |
| pantz_ | yay!!!! | 12:50 |

| xxorrorxx | sivang: already did | 12:51 |
| sabdfl | pantz_: we hope to make that even easier... when a new release comes out, upgrading warty will ask you if you want to move to the newer release | 12:51 |
| sivang | xxorrorxx : and apt-get install <whatever> | 12:51 |

| dieman | lamont__: ok | 01:27 |
| lamont__ | but I don't think there are.. | 01:27 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | alt+mousewheel might do it | 01:27 |
| lamont__ | the expectation is that the first user is the admin, ergo... | 01:27 |
| dieman | lamont__: do any of the user management frontends do so? | 01:27 |
| koke | IMHO it should be better to work on gnome-system-tools | 01:27 |
| martinald | nope doesn't work | 01:27 |

| martinald | or is no-one using a mouse with 5 buttons | 01:27 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | martinald, do you mean the extra buttons on the side of those ridululous MS mice | 01:28 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | that you always accidentally hit and go back | 01:28 |

| seb128 | or it raises an error | 01:45 |
| lamont__ | elmo_: my bad - I looked at w-b, not the archive. | 01:45 |

| seb128 | g_locale_to_utf8 () | 01:45 |

| lamont__ | it returns NULL | 01:46 |

| neighborlee | Hrdwr_BoB, sigh I might just as well use the textual installer and forget it LOL | 03:04 |

| Parisi | it only triggers it back to 800 when i run a program such as a updatedb. | 04:30 |

| sivang | Parisi : i found that there's a bios setting that makes the proccesspr worl full power on ac | 04:30 |
| Chriffer | My VAIO was running at 134GHz according to the applet | 04:30 |
| sivang | Parisi : should be there somewhere, however be adviced that this can cause the machine to heat up a bit | 04:30 |
| Parisi | sivang, well, i believe its already set up that way. | 04:30 |
| sivang | Parisi : unles you've changed that, it's probably not. | 04:30 |
| Parisi | sivang, i always run at 800 under windows when plugged in. | 04:30 |
| Parisi | when i disconnect it automatically drops down to 645 and brightness goes lower. | 04:31 |
| Parisi | I wish Linux would do that as well. | 04:31 |
| Chriffer | IT can but it takes effort | 04:31 |
| Parisi | ya, i wish a distro would get that right one day. | 04:32 |
| Parisi | Thatw ould be a bless. | 04:32 |
| Parisi | Would* | 04:32 |
| Parisi | I dont mind hibernate/suspend. | 04:32 |
| Parisi | But this one is a crucial. | 04:32 |
| Parisi | Battery wont even last 3 hours under linux.. | 04:32 |
| Parisi | It just drains very quicky. | 04:33 |
| Chriffer | hehe mine lasts less than 10 minutes | 04:33 |
| Parisi | Most likely because of the brightness settings,. | 04:33 |
| === lamont grumbles at 1257, kicks the buildd in the head | ||
| Parisi | At this point i have no way to set my brigthness level underr linux. | 04:33 |
| Parisi | Which is the lame | 04:33 |
| wasabi | ubuntu should step out from the pack and ditch sysvinit.;) | 04:33 |
| Parisi | hehe. | 04:34 |
| Chriffer | look at sonypi | 04:34 |
| jdub | Parisi: we have great support for most acpi implementations | 04:34 |
| Chriffer | and theres another thing | 04:34 |
| Parisi | I heard of that Chri | 04:34 |
| jdub | Parisi: but some require a bit of kernel work and so on | 04:34 |
| jdub | Parisi: for instance, my X300 doesn't think it has batteries :) | 04:34 |
| jdub | but those will be sorted | 04:34 |
| Parisi | jdub, thats harsh, another reason to use XP | 04:34 |
| Parisi | Altough more and more i use it less. | 04:35 |
| Parisi | Screw Sony | 04:35 |
| jdub | Parisi: depends on what's important to you, of course. but linux moves faster than any other os on issues like this. we'll get there. | 04:35 |
| Parisi | This is very important to me. | 04:35 |
| Parisi | Specially on the road. | 04:35 |
| Parisi | I am forced to use XP when im out there. | 04:36 |
| Parisi | It gives me the best use of my battery. | 04:36 |
| Parisi | What choice do i have really. | 04:36 |
| Parisi | Also, is there a way to add shortcuts to the desktop under 2.8? | 04:37 |
| Parisi | It just wont let me drag and move it there. | 04:37 |
| jdub | right click | 04:37 |
| jdub | 'create launcher' | 04:37 |
| Parisi | Well, just by dragin it tho. | 04:38 |
| Parisi | Is that not possible? | 04:38 |
| Parisi | I justw anna drang a program from my start menu. | 04:38 |
| jdub | you can also drag from the panel, but not currently from the menu | 04:38 |
| Parisi | And put it there. | 04:38 |
| jsubl2 | right click and put it on the panel then drag and drop | 04:38 |
| jdub | sorry, yes you can drag from the menu | 04:38 |
| jdub | but you need to hold the button down | 04:39 |
| jdub | there is an odd interaction there | 04:39 |
| Parisi | hmm.. | 04:39 |
| Parisi | Just wont work for me. | 04:39 |
| Parisi | Odd. | 04:39 |
| Parisi | Ah i see.. | 04:40 |
| Parisi | I wanted to add a shortcut to my Home folder to the desktop. | 04:40 |
| Parisi | That wont work. | 04:40 |
| Parisi | Programs will do. | 04:40 |
| Parisi | tho* | 04:40 |

| neighborlee | is it okay to procede installing libgtk1.2 and *-common ?..dont want to break cause I know if I do I get both pieces ..o_0 | 04:46 |
| neighborlee | ie: its for install of audacity...a much needed music app | 04:47 |
| neighborlee | only one I know of that does what I need in linux | 04:47 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | that should be fine | 04:48 |
| neighborlee | okay thx ;-00 | 04:48 |
| neighborlee | that might also fix my GUI installer for some games too <G> | 04:48 |

| neighborlee | jdub, yes I know | 04:49 |

| Adonijah- | anyone else figure out how to migrate evolution 1.4.x mail to evolution 2.0 under ubuntu? | 05:02 |
| devkelso | jdub: I am interested in commiting time to a distro, but debian is to political, and fedora to closed. Are developers pretty welcome here? | 05:02 |
| jdub | devkelso: definitely :) | 05:03 |
| jdub | Adonijah-: should happen when you first run evo2 | 05:03 |
| jdub | devkelso: join -devel | 05:03 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | Adonijah-, it should Just Work | 05:03 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, i got an error when i first started evo2, then it prompted me to setup my mail accounts and started normally | 05:03 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, but it didn't migrate anything | 05:03 |
| devkelso | jdub: good ;) How do I get involved in the graphical installer here? | 05:04 |
| whiprush | Adonijah-: you could probably do a file->import and choose the mbox file. | 05:04 |
| jdub | devkelso: well, work has not really started on some of those HoaryHedgehog goals, but join the list, and you'll hear about them as soon as they start ;) | 05:04 |
| Adonijah- | whiprush, dude, i have like 300 mbox files | 05:04 |
| Adonijah- | whiprush, that would take forever | 05:04 |
| jdub | Adonijah-: hrm, d'oh :| | 05:04 |
| whiprush | eek | 05:05 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, the error was something about not being able to start evolution datastore or the like properly | 05:05 |

| Adonijah- | jdub, let me do that again ;) | 05:11 |
| tory | Please let us know if Mono is important to you or your projects, we are actively researching this at the moment and you could help us take the best decision. | 05:12 |
| tory | I want Mono | 05:12 |
| tory | and Muine instead of Rhythmbox :-) | 05:12 |
| tseng | tory: see the user ml | 05:12 |
| tseng | i posted packages. | 05:12 |
| tory | omg | 05:12 |
| clee | tseng totally rules. | 05:13 |
| === tseng rocks out to muine | ||
| clee | tseng: how is muine, btw? | 05:13 |
| clee | tseng: can it handle a few thousand songs? | 05:13 |
| tseng | sure can | 05:13 |
| tseng | i have ~800 atm in my flac collection | 05:13 |
| tseng | used to have more like 2k | 05:13 |
| tseng | in mp3s | 05:13 |
| clee | does it do FLAC? | 05:14 |
| tseng | it does gstreamer | 05:14 |
| tseng | so pretty much anything. | 05:14 |
| jdub | tory: we're looking at including mono in our next release | 05:14 |
| clee | jdub: go for it, piss off hp | 05:14 |
| === clee grins | ||
| jdub | tory: tseng has done some bleeding edge mono packages for warty too | 05:14 |
| jdub | muine is way ard | 05:14 |
| jdub | rad | 05:14 |
| tseng | the only thing its lacking is some good shuffle action | 05:15 |
| whiprush | your vocabulary is def. | 05:15 |
| tseng | if you want to shuffle a big playlist, you still want rhythmbox | 05:15 |
| tory | I added deb http://www.getsweaaa.com/~tseng/ubuntu/debs ./ to my sources.list | 05:15 |
| === clee shrugs | ||
| clee | I tend to listen to an album at a time | 05:15 |
| whiprush | tseng: yeah I hate that | 05:15 |
| clee | can it randomize albums? | 05:15 |
| tseng | no | 05:15 |
| tory | and ran apt-get update but now I have a ton of unmet dependencies | 05:15 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, ok, after evolution-2.0 --force-shutdown, deleting ~/.evolution and ~/.gconf/apps/evolution and then doing a kill -HUP on gconfd, re-extracting my old ~/evolution into my home dir, and then restarting evolution and starting evolution-2.0 for the second time it migrated perfectly, accounts and all | 05:15 |
| clee | wtf | 05:15 |
| clee | week | 05:15 |
| clee | er, weak even | 05:15 |
| tseng | there are plans to add a "party shuffle" kinda deal though | 05:15 |
| clee | yeah, I can spell, and type | 05:15 |
| jdub | Adonijah-: heh, that's how it's meant to work first time ;) | 05:15 |
| jdub | Adonijah-: great ;) | 05:16 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, so I think the evolution datastore is squirrely | 05:16 |
| tory | there's no mono-mint | 05:16 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, at least for new user accounts | 05:16 |
| tory | E: Package mono-mint has no installation candidate | 05:16 |
| tseng | tory: nope, you need it? | 05:16 |
| tory | apparently | 05:16 |
| tseng | i built the mono source package, and didnt get it | 05:16 |
| tseng | tory: youre non x86? | 05:16 |
| tory | I've got an Athlon 64 running the i386 version | 05:16 |
| clee | mmm. i386. | 05:16 |
| tseng | http://www.jbaayen.dds.nl/proposal.html <-- plan for random playlists in muine | 05:16 |
| neighborlee | no biggie just wondering..are there supposed to be any desktop icons..I dont have any...which is usually my preference but sometimes right clicking CDROM > eject is nice..anyway is this norm ? | 05:16 |
| tseng | tory: yeah.. the jit wasnt released yet I think | 05:17 |
| jdub | tory: didn't want the amd64 version? | 05:17 |
| jdub | neighborlee: no, desktop icons are off. :-) | 05:17 |
| tory | jdub: I tried it out but it had gnome 2.72 and some other stuff | 05:17 |
| tseng | tory: try installing mono-mint from debian unstable maybe? | 05:17 |
| jdub | neighborlee: see the FAQ ;) | 05:17 |
| neighborlee | jdub, okay thx thats fine | 05:17 |
| tory | tseng: how do I do that :/ | 05:17 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, oh, and I dunno that it makes a difference, but i'm running amd64 here | 05:17 |
| tseng | us x86 dudes use mono-jit | 05:17 |
| neighborlee | jdub, as I say I usually prefer it ;-0 | 05:17 |
| tseng | not -mint | 05:17 |
| tory | well if I apt-get install mono it brings up mono-mint as an unmet dependency | 05:17 |
| jdub | Adonijah-: hrm, probably not | 05:17 |
| neighborlee | jdub, I mean usually prefer them off ;-)..I like clean uncluttered desktop ;-0 | 05:18 |
| jdub | Adonijah-: so you had a totally new user account, unpacked your evolution dir, and ran evo2? | 05:18 |
| tseng | i should throw up monodevelop | 05:18 |
| tseng | anyway, im beat | 05:19 |
| tseng | ill see you crazy kids tommorow | 05:19 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, yep | 05:19 |
| tory | does anybody have a link to that site for pasting code | 05:19 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, just finished setting up my system, logged in, unpacked my evo dir, ran evo2, kablooie | 05:19 |
| Adonijah- | and maybe I did exaggerate a bit, i don't have 300 mboxes, but I do have about 30 or so :) | 05:20 |
| jdub | Adonijah-: okay, so, i think this is a good upstream evo bug | 05:20 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, wished I had grabbed the error when I saw it | 05:20 |
| jdub | Adonijah-: it basically means that if you don't have existing evo config (in gconf), it won't correctly migrate the actual data | 05:20 |
| jdub | Adonijah-: can you ping the evo guys about it? #evolution on gimpnet, or bugzilla.ximian.com | 05:21 |
| tory | http://rafb.net/paste/results/QKJLlw15.html | 05:21 |
| tory | ^ that's what I get | 05:21 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, if I can reproduce with a new use account | 05:21 |
| jdub | Adonijah-: cool | 05:21 |
| Adonijah- | jdub, thanks | 05:21 |

| Amroc | and is there any way to reverse it back to winblows if needed? | 05:27 |
| jdub | Amroc: but if you need to resize things, i'd recommend using other tools at this stage | 05:27 |
| bolivar | amroc: you can simply accept the default | 05:27 |
| jdub | Amroc: well, if you set up partitions alongside windows, you can choose to boot windows or ubuntu | 05:28 |

| sn0wman | jsubl2, so you installed the kernel source, unpacked it, and set Nvidia setup | 05:41 |
| sn0wman | 's flag to the path | 05:41 |
| sn0wman | cause that what i did, and it croaks over a gcc version mismatch | 05:41 |
| linux_mafia | i noticed alot of people on osnews were whining about no cd burning app, can you not install k3b? or is it just a matter of adding the right sources? is it in universe? | 05:42 |
| jsubl2 | sn0wman, the kernel modules was already there. I modprobe'd it manually first time. then added it to /etc/modules | 05:42 |
| jsubl2 | linux_mafia, nautilus can burn. | 05:42 |
| whiprush | there is a cd burning app | 05:42 |
| whiprush | just put in a blank cd. | 05:42 |
| sn0wman | linux_mafia, nautilus-cd-burner is fine for anything but audio CDs | 05:43 |

| punkass | so is there any trick to geting the nvidia drivers to wokr | 05:52 |
| punkass | er work | 05:52 |
| punkass | i change nv to nvidia in XF86config-4 but that just ended up with an error | 05:52 |
| jsubl2 | punkass, apt-get install nvidia. ediit XF86Config-4, add nvidia /etc/modules, modprobe nvidia or reboot | 05:53 |
| punkass | Couldn't find package nvidia | 05:54 |
| jsubl2 | nvidia-glx sorry | 05:54 |
| punkass | Package nvidia-glx is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 05:55 |
| m_tthew | jsubl2: actually think the nvidia stuff will show up as a choice in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 after the package is installed | 05:55 |
| m_tthew | so XF86Config-4 can be modified that way | 05:56 |
| punkass | so i just run dpkg-reconfigure? | 05:56 |
| m_tthew | punkass: after you install nvidia-glx, I think so | 05:56 |
| punkass | hmm i cant find that | 05:56 |

| m_tthew | punkass: you have noth those lines uncommented in sources.list? | 05:59 |
| m_tthew | afaik you want the former and not the latter | 05:59 |
| punkass | Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.ubuntu.com warty/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_warty_main_binary-i386_Packages) | 06:00 |

| gardion_ | Who is the intended audience for ubuntu? | 06:08 |
| bolivar | linux users ; ) sorry couldnt help myself | 06:09 |
| neighborlee | heh | 06:09 |
| _1oo7 | rock on for the 6mo release cycle, btw. | 06:10 |
| m_tthew | gardion_: reading the webpage makes me think people who use linux on the desktop and on servers | 06:10 |
| === nictuku [nictuku@nictuku.user] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| Hrdwr_BoB | gardion_, to begin with, I think mostly people who like debian but want something up to date and that is more Just Works | 06:10 |
| gardion_ | bolvar: yes but so is redhat and debian linux | 06:11 |
| bolivar | what have you used so far? | 06:11 |
| gardion_ | Actually mainly debian. | 06:11 |
| jdub | neighborlee: it should be pretty straight forward | 06:11 |
| jdub | neighborlee: install the linux-restricted-modules package for your kernel (apt-cache search linux restricted, and take your pick) | 06:12 |
| jdub | neighborlee: then install nvidia-glx | 06:12 |
| gardion_ | Will ubunto have the kde desktop as well or is it choosing to use gnome. | 06:12 |
| jdub | neighborlee: then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 | 06:12 |
| jsubl2 | a debian based distro with the very latest gnome attracked me. | 06:12 |
| matthewjs | does anyone know how to get suspend to disk to work? | 06:12 |
| jdub | gardion_: gnome by default, but kde is available in our unsupported 'universe' packages | 06:12 |
| bolivar | jdub: you have an apt server address for that? | 06:13 |
| gardion_ | See this is what I'm curious about. It seems that ubuntu and userlinix have made similar choices for desktops and similar support goals why two distributions then? | 06:13 |
| jdub | bolivar: which? | 06:13 |
| bolivar | universe packages | 06:14 |
| jdub | gardion_: different goals in other ways | 06:14 |
| neighborlee | jdub, thx..it is just found ML post | 06:14 |
| jdub | bolivar: you add 'universe' to your deb lines in sources.list | 06:14 |
| neighborlee | jdub, heh yup..way ahead of ya | 06:14 |
| bolivar | gotcha | 06:14 |
| gardion_ | such as? | 06:14 |
| neighborlee | jdub, heh afterall were talking opengl man!! lol | 06:14 |
| jdub | gardion_: six-month time-based releases, community structure, etc., etc. | 06:14 |
| neighborlee | jdub, this is my life yer talking practically ;-00 | 06:15 |
| jdub | gardion_: it's a pretty different approach, even though they may look similar on the surface | 06:15 |
| schweeb | jdub: was the livecd removed? | 06:16 |
| gardion_ | See I'd love to see debian used more be it debian or debian based linux versions but it seems a new distro is popping up every so often. | 06:17 |
| jdub | schweeb: delayed a little | 06:17 |
| schweeb | :-/ | 06:17 |
| jdub | schweeb: you can download older versions here: http://people.no-name-yet.com/~mdz/ubuntu-live/ | 06:17 |
| schweeb | excellent | 06:17 |
| jdub | gardion_: this is going to be full-on, seriously commercially supported, etc., etc. | 06:17 |
| bolivar | jdub: i assume the universe packages were rebuilt to work with ubuntu? the webpage said the stock debian files are not recommended | 06:18 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | bolivar, correct | 06:18 |
| jdub | bolivar: yes, it's all ubuntu-built | 06:18 |
| schweeb | making a forum post on Ars with a list of the cool shit about ubuntu... need a livecd so they can at least get some semblance of what preview is like | 06:18 |
| bolivar | thank you both | 06:18 |
| jdub | schweeb: please note that it's an older version of the packages and desktop, not up to date with the preview release. | 06:19 |

| daniels | fabbione: yep | 07:28 |
| jdub | schweeb: yeah, we'd like forums | 07:28 |
| punkass | its an pretty slick way of mounting shares | 07:28 |
| jdub | schweeb: but ideally, they'd work with our mailing lists too | 07:28 |
| punkass | it finds all shares on the network | 07:28 |
| daniels | fabbione: wacom is done, ati is about 80% completed (found a couple of bugs along the way), and yeah, i'll do the kernel update stuff | 07:28 |
| jdub | schweeb: so if you know some software that does nntp backend forums... | 07:28 |
| punkass | then u can just select them and it mounts them to a directory of your choice | 07:28 |

| punkass | when i get the dialog box there is no "network" menu item | 07:29 |
| punkass | so i get browse to them | 07:30 |
| fabbione | one week testing and upload to the archive | 07:30 |
| punkass | get = cant | 07:30 |
| punkass | you understand what i mean? | 07:30 |
| fabbione | daniels: the nv driver still has the Xv problem but it's much better than the one we have now | 07:30 |
| fabbione | daniels: at least it works on some machine where the old one wasn't at all | 07:30 |
| daniels | fabbione: didn't manage to solve the blitter thing? | 07:31 |

| daniels | fabbione: what are your ubuntu19 changes so far? mine are just wacom and ati (with a couple of changes to the upstream ati driver) | 07:32 |
| fabbione | daniels: not yet. I am working with Overfiend for it | 07:32 |

| whiprush | oh I see, are you browsing it or is it mounted? | 07:35 |
| === dieman wishes for i915 support in X :) | ||
| punkass | no just browsing...thats why i was asking about smb4k | 07:35 |
| punkass | for easy mounting | 07:36 |
| whiprush | punkass: go to file->connect to server in nautilus, choose "windows share" as service type, type in your info. | 07:36 |
| jdub | ish: and xterm or a gnome terminal? | 07:36 |
| whiprush | that'll mount it | 07:36 |
| ish | xterm | 07:36 |
| ish | added my own menu option... | 07:36 |
| jdub | ish: aha | 07:36 |
| ish | it doesn't prevent me from doing anything.. just odd. | 07:36 |
| whiprush | punkass: then all your gnome apps will have a cool little shortcut to it in the file selector. | 07:36 |
| jdub | ish: you need to remove the notification option out of the .desktop file | 07:36 |
| punkass | ah slick ok | 07:36 |
| whiprush | punkass: the cool thing is, you can do that with ftp, ssh, etc. etc. | 07:37 |
| punkass | oh oh..the panel and nautilus just stop working..doh | 07:37 |
| punkass | sweet. | 07:38 |
| m_tthew | whiprush: heh, with ssh? that is novel | 07:38 |
| m_tthew | whiprush: rsync? | 07:39 |
| ish | jdub: Do gnome apps notify the caller when loading is done or something? | 07:39 |
| punkass | hmm any thoughts why i dont get a nautilus window when i click home in the menu..i can see another instance of it start up..same when i click 'show desktop' | 07:40 |
| jdub | ish: yeah | 07:40 |
| punkass | but 'show desktop' doesnt do anything either | 07:40 |
| whiprush | m_tthew: don't think so with rsync. | 07:41 |
| whiprush | m_tthew: yeah, so like, you can open up one that is connected to ftp, one that is ssh, and drag and drop between them. | 07:41 |
| whiprush | it's one of my favorite things to show off to people who don't know alot about linux. | 07:41 |

| whiprush | oh, heh. welcome! | 07:43 |
| ficusplanet | Hey everyone. I switched to Ubuntu last night, and I'm quite certain that in some situations, the fonts look worse than they did in Fedora. Especially in The GIMP and epiphany/firefox. | 07:43 |
| ficusplanet | What could cause that? | 07:43 |

| === m_tthew chuckles | ||
| whiprush | like "web stuff" "home folder", etc. etc. | 07:49 |
| m_tthew | yeah I mounted my web space | 07:49 |
| punkass | lol..i am impressed | 07:49 |
| punkass | but ssh.. :) | 07:49 |
| punkass | cool. | 07:49 |
| npmccallum | mdz: all those cups bugs should be closeable, pending freeze break approval; patches are available in the bug reports | 07:50 |
| npmccallum | I'm headed to bed, night all! | 07:51 |
| ficusplanet | OK, now that I'm playing with it, it's really only the bold fonts that look bad. What would cause that? | 07:51 |
| subterrific | punkass: how are you doing that? | 07:52 |
| subterrific | nautilus? | 07:52 |
| punkass | yeah | 07:52 |
| punkass | File > Connect to Server | 07:52 |
| subterrific | oh nice, i didn't know it supported that | 07:52 |
| subterrific | i knew Konquerer did that | 07:52 |
| punkass | konq does ssh too? | 07:52 |
| subterrific | yeah, sftp | 07:52 |
| whiprush | yeah, fish://hostname | 07:53 |
| subterrific | they call it something weird | 07:53 |
| subterrific | yeah fish | 07:53 |
| ficusplanet | subterrific: The "Connect to Server..." feature is awesome. It is my FTP client, my laptop/desktop connection, filesharing network between friends. | 07:53 |
| punkass | cool..didnt know that | 07:53 |
| ficusplanet | It rocks. | 07:53 |
| punkass | it sure does. | 07:53 |
| subterrific | so i installed ubuntu today at work because my fedora core 1 machine died in an upgrade to core 2 | 07:53 |

| whiprush | ficusplanet: dunno, kinda not gnomey enough for me | 07:55 |
| subterrific | synaptic seems fine to me | 07:55 |
| ficusplanet | I like the recent improvements. I agree that Red Carpet is nicer, though. | 07:55 |
| whiprush | I like how in rc the search is find as you type, and it's a search box right on the main UI | 07:56 |

| ficusplanet | And I like the channels stuff instead of repos, and the way it queues up the packages along the left. | 07:56 |
| jdub | ficusplanet: we will have a cooler add/remove app in Hoary | 07:56 |
| whiprush | yeah | 07:56 |
| subterrific | a search for a package isn't really something i think of as needing to be persistent | 07:57 |

| punkass | so is red carpet novells..and open carpet the opensource version of it? | 07:58 |
| whiprush | the commercial one is part of zenworks now iirc. | 07:58 |
| jdub | ficusplanet: see HoaryHedgehog on the wiki :) | 07:58 |

| subterrific | i'm not in front of a ubuntu system, and i only used it for about an hour ;) | 08:39 |
| ficusplanet | Wow, with all the stuff you guys have planned, I can't wait for March 14th. | 08:39 |
| LoneTechU | well, so far so good. ubuntu actually installed, though it set up sudo rather than a root password, and gave the X server an impossible config. | 08:39 |
| ficusplanet | LoneTechU: sudo is deliberate and good. | 08:40 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | LoneTechU, sudo setup is NOTABUG | 08:40 |
| plovs | subterrific, yes my usb-key shows up in the device manager | 08:40 |
| LoneTechU | ficus: yes, I agree. | 08:40 |
| subterrific | plovs: so i'm guessing that somehow the message got lost from hal->dbus->gnome-volume-manager | 08:41 |
| LoneTechU | just surprising, but a Good Thing - means less new users running as root from habit. | 08:41 |
| subterrific | not sure what log file you'd check for a related error | 08:41 |
| ish | is it possible to get gnome-terminal to use the standard X 7x14 font? | 08:42 |
| LoneTechU | more significant, perhaps, is that APM support has not been set up. if laptop-detect works the way I think, that also failed. | 08:43 |
| subterrific | ish: does it show up in the font dialog? | 08:43 |
| plovs | subterrific, I'll dig around se what I can find | 08:43 |
| justin_linuxppc | hi all, has anyone got a ppp/dial-up connection working? if so how? | 08:43 |
| ish | subterrific: maybe.. don't know its full name tho.. flipping thru the fonts tho. | 08:44 |
| ish | LoneTechU: APM isn't enabled on my laptop install either. | 08:44 |
| LoneTechU | nor mentioned in laptop-detect | 08:44 |
| LoneTechU | it should probably try to load the apm module if acpi fails. | 08:45 |
| ficusplanet | justin_linuxppc: You've tried the network configuration tool, right? | 08:45 |
| _1oo7 | " maybe an afterboot(8) style manpage, or a little heads up in the first time you login as the user you created in the install... like "hello. since you made this user during the install, it is configured in /etc/sudoers. to set the root password 'sudo passwd'" or something similar | 08:46 |

| _1oo7 | it might be asked incessantly unless it yells at ppl initially | 08:46 |

| justin_linuxppc | ficus: the config tool is a front for wvdial and wvdials not availabel for ubuntu so the config tool not to useful for ppp | 08:47 |
| justin_linuxppc | ficus: so no it didnt detect it | 08:48 |
| subterrific | plovs: sorry can't help much without having ubuntu installed | 08:48 |
| jdub | hmmm | 08:48 |
| ficusplanet | wvdial shows up when I search in synaptic. enable the universe repos and it should show up. | 08:48 |
| jdub | think we need to work on the firefox defaults a bit | 08:49 |
| jdub | yucky fonts and so on | 08:49 |
| plovs | subterrific, bad boy! :) you should give it a try quite a nice distro | 08:49 |
| ficusplanet | jdub: Yeah, that's been bugging me. | 08:49 |
| subterrific | plovs: i did, i installed it at work | 08:49 |
| ficusplanet | It's the same in epiphany. | 08:49 |
| subterrific | plovs: i use gentoo at home though | 08:49 |
| subterrific | jdub: yeah, i was surprised you guys didn't have freetype rendering turned on in firefox by default | 08:50 |
| jdub | ficusplanet: yeah | 08:50 |
| scapegoat | hey, how do i install divx/xvid codecs into ubuntu? | 08:50 |
| plovs | subterrific, ok, you're forgiven, now I go back to my usb-key | 08:50 |
| justin_linuxppc | ficus: will give that a go; thanks | 08:50 |
| LoneTechU | scapegoat: you probably want to stick to ffmpeg, which I believe would be included in vlc and xine. | 08:50 |
| ficusplanet | scapegoat: I installed totem-xine from universe. With that, you can also drop propietary plugins in. | 08:50 |
| scapegoat | alrighty | 08:50 |
| jdub | ficusplanet: do you think size 14 is a good default, for proportional fonts? | 08:51 |
| jdub | hrm, i have 12 on my laptop | 08:51 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | jdub, 14C is good | 08:51 |
| ficusplanet | I think 14 is good. | 08:51 |
| scapegoat | LoneTechU, cant find the ffmpeg. i did the totem apt-get and it just wont play any divx/xvid :/ | 08:51 |
| subterrific | does ubuntu have an ffmpeg package? | 08:51 |
| subterrific | i didn't see one | 08:51 |
| ficusplanet | scapegoat: You need to use totem-xine, instead of the gstreamer backend. | 08:52 |
| LoneTechU | it is normally built statically.. the players just use libavcodec from within ffmpeg | 08:52 |
| ficusplanet | At least that helped me. | 08:52 |
| subterrific | i need it though, i use ffmpeg in an app at work for audio decoding. i was going to use the lack of ffmpeg on ubuntu as an excuse to try gstreamer though | 08:52 |
| scapegoat | ficusplanet, and how would i go about changing that? | 08:52 |
| ficusplanet | Enable the universe repos in synaptic, search for totem. Install totem-xine. | 08:52 |
| === LoneTechU will brb, getting X started. | ||
| scapegoat | i don't see a 'universe repos' in synaptics | 08:53 |
| Mithrandir | scapegoat: add it to the end of the line with "warty" in it in /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:54 |
| ficusplanet | Or just go to preferences>>Repositories and check the repos that have the word universe under sections. | 08:54 |
| scapegoat | all the lines have warty in it | 08:54 |
| Mithrandir | ficusplanet: ok, I don't use synaptic. :) | 08:55 |
| scapegoat | alright ficus | 08:55 |
| ficusplanet | After you've selected them, click refresh, then search. | 08:55 |

| === tomyl [~user@conway.campus.luth.se] has left #ubuntu ["No] | ||
| roofy | anyone in here? | 09:14 |
| LoneTechU | yes | 09:14 |
| roofy | cool | 09:14 |
| roofy | im downloading unbuntu as we speak, im eager to try this out | 09:15 |
| roofy | though im not clear what the selling point is, it just seems like "yet another linux distro" | 09:15 |
| roofy | is just easy debian? | 09:15 |
| Tomcat_ | Easier. | 09:16 |
| LoneTechU | it is debian, basically, but more for the common user. | 09:16 |
| roofy | i see | 09:16 |
| roofy | yea debian is probably the only distro i havent tried ever.... | 09:16 |
| punkass | its pretty slick | 09:16 |
| roofy | i can even install frickin aix | 09:16 |
| Tomcat_ | I call Ubuntu a "it just works" distro. | 09:16 |
| Tomcat_ | But still gives you lots of opportunities. | 09:16 |
| roofy | but i could never get debian installed | 09:16 |
| Tomcat_ | Why not? | 09:17 |
| roofy | i see, what does unbuntu have over, suse or fedora? | 09:17 |
| Tomcat_ | Ubuntu is a community-based distro, unlike SuSE or Fedora. | 09:17 |
| punkass | its debian based :) | 09:17 |
| ficusplanet | Better GNOME. | 09:17 |
| Tomcat_ | Apart from that... it is debian based. | 09:17 |
| ultrafunk | roofy: it's smaller, for one :) | 09:17 |
| roofy | fedora is a community based project... | 09:17 |
| roofy | that i like :) | 09:18 |
| Tomcat_ | Oh... didn't know that. | 09:18 |
| ficusplanet | Fedora messes up GNOME in many ways, though. Absolutely no way to enable menu editing in FC2. Dumb panel layout by default. Configuration tools that aren't community supported and not HIGified. | 09:19 |
| Tomcat_ | Well, the point "debian based" beats everything else anyway. :) | 09:19 |
| roofy | ficusplanet: that i agree with | 09:19 |
| roofy | but still what if i prefer kde? | 09:19 |
| LoneTechU | not encouraging abuse of root is a nice touch. | 09:19 |
| ish | I'm kinda hoping ubuntu is free of some of the politic issues that bug down debian (or have bogged it down in the past) | 09:19 |
| ficusplanet | roofy: Don't use ubuntu if you like KDE. | 09:19 |
| roofy | why not? | 09:20 |
| Tomcat_ | I like KDE... | 09:20 |
| Tomcat_ | I still use Ubuntu. | 09:20 |
| Tomcat_ | I'd rather say: "Don't use Ubuntu if you dislike Gnome" :) | 09:20 |
| roofy | dont get me wrong, i love gnome, but then again i used fedora-ish gnome | 09:20 |
| roofy | gnome is just FAST | 09:20 |
| jdub | if you want a distro that includes KDE, you won't too interested in Ubuntu *just yet* | 09:20 |
| roofy | but there are some things i dont like about it | 09:20 |
| LoneTechU | I beg to differ, but I suppose it may seem fast compared to windows or kde | 09:21 |
| roofy | such as gtk | 09:21 |
| subterrific | fedora is yuck | 09:21 |
| ficusplanet | What do you dislike about GTK? | 09:21 |
| roofy | i prefer qt over gtk anyday | 09:21 |
| roofy | its really hard to skin | 09:21 |
| roofy | and i cant stand the save/open dialogs | 09:21 |
| roofy | the kde/qt ones are much more intuitive | 09:21 |
| LoneTechU | erm, no. familiar is the word. | 09:22 |
| ficusplanet | I love the GTK 2.4 filechooser. | 09:22 |
| LoneTechU | the only intuitive user interface is the nipple. | 09:22 |
| roofy | w.e it is i cant stand it | 09:22 |
| roofy | its too simple | 09:22 |
| _1oo7 | keyboard's pretty easy to figure out too | 09:22 |
| roofy | does debian/unbuntu use kudzu or a kudzu like system? | 09:24 |
| LoneTechU | I think discover and hotplug and hal take those jobs, basically? | 09:24 |
| jdub | roofy: hotplug | 09:24 |
| roofy | i see | 09:25 |
| jdub | roofy: no kudzu or discover (though discover is used briefly in the installer) | 09:25 |
| LoneTechU | btw, nice touch with ifrename. | 09:25 |
| roofy | im just curious whether it works as good or better than kudzu | 09:25 |
| jdub | roofy: as good, if not better. | 09:25 |
| roofy | i used hotplug briefly when i was with gentoo | 09:25 |
| roofy | does it use its own apt repo, or are the debian apt ones compatible? | 09:26 |
| ficusplanet | jdub: How are the X settings configured from the start. Setting up Ubuntu on my friend's laptop today, I could only get 640x480 until I manually edited the refresh rates to match his SXGA screen. | 09:26 |
| === free|afk is now known as free_ | ||
| jdub | roofy: it's own; see the FAQ on wiki.ubuntu.com | 09:27 |
| roofy | eesh | 09:27 |
| jdub | ficusplanet: did you install from the preview cd? | 09:27 |
| ficusplanet | Yeah. | 09:27 |
| jdub | ficusplanet: that might have been an annoying bug we fixed after the cd was done | 09:27 |
| jdub | ficusplanet: try upgrading and running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 | 09:27 |
| subterrific | roofy: gtk is much easier to skin than kde. just look at the number of gtk/metacity skins compared to kde 3 skins | 09:27 |
| ficusplanet | jdub: Sounds good. I'll test again with the final. Otherwise, he was very happy with the switch from Fedora. | 09:28 |
| LoneTechU | I would guess it tries to use EDID (DDC) data, which is often missing on laptops. | 09:28 |
| _1oo7 | i had success with the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 for the same reasons ( wondering how things were configured ) | 09:28 |
| jdub | LoneTechU: but we do rad things to make laptop display detectino work too :) | 09:28 |
| subterrific | skinning kde requires writing c++ code, which is insane | 09:28 |
| LoneTechU | jdub: unfortunately not including detecting APM. | 09:28 |
| jdub | LoneTechU: apm is not a display ;) | 09:29 |
| LoneTechU | this machine is rather exotic.. | 09:29 |
| roofy | subterrific: all i know is that i can make kde looks sexier than gnome, any day of the week | 09:29 |
| LoneTechU | no, just a vital laptop feature. | 09:29 |
| jdub | LoneTechU: we have not ceoncentrated very hard on apm; it should work, but we've done more work on acpi | 09:29 |
| ish | is sexy useful? | 09:29 |
| subterrific | roofy: i doubt it | 09:29 |
| roofy | to me it is | 09:29 |
| mdz | jdub: hmm, the email from rince arrived now | 09:29 |
| LoneTechU | it left this laptop with an X config attempting a depth unsupported by the video chip and ignoring the pointing device completely | 09:29 |

| jdub | let's not do the kde vs. gnome thing guys :) | 09:30 |
| roofy | thats what i use | 09:30 |
| roofy | i think they are both great | 09:30 |
| LoneTechU | jdub: it does work, when loaded. the installer does not try | 09:30 |
| roofy | each have thier own features | 09:30 |
| jdub | LoneTechU: or, did not fall back correctly on your machine :) | 09:30 |
| subterrific | roofy: have you tried gnome lately? there are about 20 skins just a good if not better than plastik | 09:30 |
| jdub | LoneTechU: bug reports on that would be really good | 09:30 |
| jdub | subterrific: dude, let's not do the gnome/kde thing :) | 09:31 |

| punkass | if i make a bunch of symlinks in usr/lib is there a command i have to run to register them | 09:35 |
| roofy | ldconfig | 09:36 |
| _1oo7 | but i would think that is more bochs testing than ubuntu testing,... so.. | 09:36 |
| punkass | thanks | 09:36 |
| jdub | _1oo7: it works well under qemu, but slowly ;) | 09:36 |
| Tomcat_ | Nobody in Ubuntu who has a few seconds of time? | 09:37 |
| punkass | man these canon drivers are evil | 09:37 |
| LoneTechU | tomcat: I can look around | 09:37 |
| _1oo7 | jdub ; i was very excited to try bochs on a new PC i bought for the pipe dream of running windows on it and thus being able to rip win98 off my wife's laptop; but i lost my thunder after seeing how !quick bochs ran. qemu is quicker, but is focused on emulating a linux, rather than a 386, right? | 09:38 |
| Tomcat_ | LoneTechU: Just check the settings menus if there's a way to set the clock, and if there is, if you can set the hardware clock to UTC or local time zone. | 09:38 |
| subterrific | jdub: qemu emulating x86 on x86 machine? | 09:38 |
| _1oo7 | ( bochs being the win98 replacement running overtop of !windows, that is ) | 09:38 |
| roofy | _1oo7: quick win4lin vs bochs | 09:38 |
| jdub | Tomcat_: no, there isn't | 09:38 |
| jdub | subterrific: yeah | 09:38 |
| Tomcat_ | Okay, thanks. | 09:38 |
| punkass | there is a check box that says "Use UTC" | 09:38 |
| jdub | subterrific: not sure if anyone's done x86 ubuntu on ppc ;) | 09:38 |
| _1oo7 | roofy : ?, meaning win4lin is faster than bochs? | 09:38 |
| roofy | _1oo7: whats better for emulating windows on top of linux, win4lin or bochs | 09:39 |
| _1oo7 | oh, i dunno | 09:39 |
| _1oo7 | never have run win4lin | 09:39 |
| LoneTechU | tomcat_: the date and time dialogue offers network sync and time zone settings, but does not mention if the hardware runs local time | 09:39 |
| roofy | oh | 09:39 |
| roofy | anyone use yoper? | 09:39 |
| LoneTechU | UTC=yes in default/rcS | 09:39 |
| subterrific | i'd guess that anything is faster than bochs | 09:40 |
| Tomcat_ | LoneTechU: Yeah that's my point... I'm dual-booting, and Ubuntu fucked my hardware clock by setting it to UTC. :) | 09:40 |
| _1oo7 | i found bochs to be not be as fast as i was expecting, by a dreamcrushing order of magnitude, so, if win4lin is only a bad-day order of magnitude, i suppose that is a plus | 09:40 |
| roofy | lol | 09:40 |
| subterrific | its got to be the slowest emulation software ever | 09:40 |
| Tomcat_ | LoneTechU: I know how to change it but I'll file a bug report for this... | 09:40 |

| ficusplanet | It's Ubuntu's own repositories. | 09:59 |
| roofy | so the devs compile each package specifically for ubuntu | 09:59 |
| ficusplanet | Yes. | 09:59 |
| roofy | about how many packages does the repo have? | 10:00 |
| sladen | Gvre: I think Canonical employ most of the Debian security-team... | 10:00 |
| ficusplanet | 12981 | 10:00 |
| roofy | damn how long has this project been around? | 10:01 |
| Gvre | i' m asking this because debian developers are patching stable first and then sarge and sid | 10:01 |
| ficusplanet | I don't know. I just learned of it yesterday. | 10:01 |
| roofy | so what default kernel is it 2.6 i hope | 10:02 |
| jdub | roofy: 2000ish supported, over 10000 in universe | 10:02 |
| jdub | roofy: 2.6.8.1 | 10:02 |
| ficusplanet | 2.6.8.1 | 10:02 |
| roofy | :D | 10:02 |
| ficusplanet | jdub: How would someone go about getting a package/suggesting a package for inclusion in universe? | 10:03 |
| jdub | ficusplanet: post to -users | 10:03 |
| ficusplanet | OK | 10:04 |
| mdz | jdub: most of the good FAQ stuff is moved into plone now; the wiki only has recent additions | 10:04 |
| will|werk | whats a precompiled kernel interface thing | 10:05 |
| will|werk | and is it included with ubuntu? | 10:05 |
| will|werk | i want to install the official nvidia driver | 10:06 |
| roofy | www.nvidia.com | 10:06 |
| roofy | download the driver and run it | 10:06 |
| Gvre | is ubuntu like debian stable, sarge or sid ? | 10:06 |
| will|werk | yeah i have the driver | 10:06 |
| roofy | so run it | 10:06 |
| ficusplanet | Gvre: sid | 10:06 |
| roofy | in sudo | 10:06 |
| will|werk | i tried | 10:07 |
| will|werk | it can't find a precompiled kernel interface module or some | 10:07 |
| will|werk | thing | 10:07 |
| roofy | yes, so itll compile one | 10:07 |
| will|werk | right | 10:07 |
| roofy | when it cant find it | 10:07 |
| roofy | and then your set | 10:07 |
| LoneTech | you'll need the compiler and kernel headers.. | 10:07 |
| roofy | edit your X | 10:07 |
| will|werk | cool | 10:07 |
| LoneTech | on my ubuntu install, they weren't installed by default. | 10:07 |
| roofy | well yea you need the kernel-source installed | 10:07 |
| beezly | will|werk: why not use the ubuntu nvidia-glx? | 10:07 |
| will|werk | beezly: it doesn't like my dual-dvi card | 10:07 |
| will|werk | x fails to start | 10:07 |
| beezly | will|werk: no, the nvidia-glx, not the xfree86 nv driver | 10:08 |
| roofy | beezly: i havent used the nvidia-glx, but i assume thats an open source driver not provided by nvidia? | 10:08 |
| beezly | nope | 10:08 |
| beezly | it's the nvidia driver | 10:08 |
| roofy | is it just the nvidia driver wrapped | 10:08 |
| beezly | yep | 10:08 |
| beezly | so you don't have to compile | 10:08 |
| roofy | oh ok :) | 10:08 |
| beezly | it's *all* pre-compiled if you have a ubuntu kernel | 10:08 |

| nawty | the security of a distribution is only as good as the person running it. | 10:22 |

| Gvre | inow that to but i mean the security updates | 10:22 |
| nawty | granted some distributions make it easier to secure but others are simply secure by default. | 10:23 |
| nawty | Gvre: its debian, so it has a relativley good security track | 10:23 |
| === Keybuk [scott@descent.netsplit.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Gvre | debian patches stable first and after stable the others | 10:23 |
| pitti | nawty: we made great efforts to proactively improve Warty's security | 10:24 |
| nawty | pitti: im sure, but yet again, that all relates to the admin and the choices. | 10:24 |
| pitti | nawty: we removed many suid root bits from programs and now have many daemons run as a normal user which formerly ran as root | 10:24 |
| Gvre | i'm happy with slack but i want an amd64 port so i'm looking 4 a distro | 10:24 |
| pitti | nawty: of course, an admin can screw up anything, but that's not the point | 10:25 |
| mdz | seb128: at what address do you receive these mails? | 10:25 |
| mdz | jdub: is ubuntu-devel gatewayed to some other list? | 10:25 |
| nawty | pitti: no matter how secure warty is, if someone chooses to run for example bind or sendmail, no matter how secure the original install was said to be, its all choices :) | 10:25 |
| pitti | nawty: the distro should be secure _by default_, not secure _regardless of root's actions_ :-) | 10:25 |
| nawty | pitti: i never disputed it :) | 10:26 |
| pitti | nawty: sure, no thing in the world can stop this | 10:26 |
| nawty | pitti: but to say that one distro is more secure than another in a broad sense is a bad thing | 10:26 |
| pitti | nawty: I thought this was a question of you about our security model | 10:26 |
| pitti | nawty: agreed; this statement can be valid if you append "by default" | 10:26 |
| nawty | pitti: no, i was just saying that debian on a whole has a good security model, i cant comment on ubuntu directly because i havent used it, although debian is starting to scare me a bit with the way that it simply doesnt do simple things :) | 10:27 |
| seb128 | mdz: good question, I don't see the source adress in the header ... my debian and canonical email points at the same place, so one of the 2 | 10:27 |
| nawty | s/debian/ubuntu/g && s/ubuntu/debian/g | 10:27 |
| pitti | nawty: which "simple things" in particular? I'm curious | 10:27 |

| mdz | seb128: I do not see anything with 'seb' in it in the subscription list, nor do I see you when searching for canonical or debian, but I will believe you if you say that you are getting the mails | 10:28 |

| nawty | pitti: and i'm not given the choice, although when i try to install apache2 forcefully and then install php unless i install the correct deb i end up having it wanting to install apache again | 10:29 |
| pitti | nawty: but of course you can overwrite them | 10:29 |
| pitti | nawty: apache and php are really a tricky issue | 10:29 |
| nawty | pitti: of course, but thats a whole lot of effort that other distributions have seem'ed to avoid :) | 10:29 |
| pitti | nawty: it is tricky because you have to depend on a _set_ of mutually exclusive packages | 10:29 |
| nawty | pitti: bare in mind im a gentoo user and that `USE="apache2" emerge cacti` would do my trick | 10:29 |
| mdz | nawty: ubuntu avoids that particular issue by supporting only apache2 :-) | 10:29 |
| seb128 | mdz: arg, stupid error on my part. I've mail in my ubuntu-devel box, but these are -user cc: -devel ... | 10:30 |
| pitti | nawty: like (apache2 && php4-apache2) or (apache-1.3 && php4-apache1.3) | 10:30 |
| nawty | mdz: not true, im using ubuntu and i have it trying to install apache1 | 10:30 |
| pitti | nawty: probably we should just get rid of all apache1 stuff ASAP | 10:30 |
| seb128 | mdz: and they got classed in the devel because the rule is before the user one ... sorry I'm subscribing right now | 10:30 |
| nawty | pitti: surely somthing can be done like a deb that asks you "do you want to install apache2 or apache1" ? | 10:30 |
| pitti | nawty: the apache stuff is in fact the only issue known to me where the dependencies go wild | 10:30 |
| nawty | pitti: even if its an aptitude update ? | 10:30 |
| nawty | pitti: and vim :P | 10:31 |
| pitti | nawty: not with Debian's current Dependency specification | 10:31 |
| mdz | nawty: not true? | 10:31 |
| nawty | mdz: i've had this ubuntu install try install apache1 numerous times :) | 10:31 |

| nawty | mdz: i've done it already, although i'm rather certain that these things should be and could be more `streamlined` | 10:33 |

| MacPlusG3 | hence the mac having icons on the right of the screen | 11:40 |
| MacPlusG3 | and mac users (or people who learnt on a mac) not maximising their windows | 11:41 |
| _axel | i have downloaded the iso, checked the md5sums and they're correct, burned them etc and when i install it, when installing the base packages it barfs of package 'bsdutils' and i have to abort installation | 11:41 |
| MacPlusG3 | but that point is good (at least in the current scenario) | 11:41 |

| jdub | MacPlusG3: lots of screen space wasted, etc. | 11:41 |

| MacPlusG3 | jdub: rock the sudo and not root thing though. | 11:42 |
| mdz | _axel: a couple of people have seen that, but so far every time it has been the result of a bad burn or bad download | 11:42 |
| sladen | _axel / MacPlusG3: the Mac OS X cd burning program is buggy | 11:42 |
| sladen | _axel / MacPlusG3: you may need to use cdrecord from fink | 11:42 |
| _axel | hmm, im not using macosx, i used cdrecord on a debian testing box | 11:42 |
| rburton | _axel: might be a bug i saw with sarge, DMA being on shows up bugs in cd drive firmware. something like hdc=nodma might help (check the option though) | 11:42 |

| wobin | i found a problem with 4.10 PR on Amd K6 | 11:49 |
| rburton | sweet, ipod/firewire works okay now | 11:50 |
| wobin | kernel oopses almost immediately because of the 'splash' option on amd k6 | 11:50 |
| MacPlusG3 | rburton: FAT or HFS? | 11:50 |
| robster | rburton: morning | 11:51 |
| rburton | MacPlusG3: fat. before a few days ago it only worked if it was in when i booted | 11:51 |
| rburton | morning robster | 11:51 |
| MacPlusG3 | rburton: cool. don't know if you know - but you can use the contacts and calendar bit on an ipod :) | 11:53 |
| rburton | yeah | 11:54 |
| rburton | i just ran evo-ipod-sync actually | 11:54 |
| rburton | its hanging when exporting my calendar though | 11:54 |
| MacPlusG3 | rburton: i use multisynnc | 11:54 |
| MacPlusG3 | don't know if it works with evo 2 though... | 11:54 |
| Sleep_bob | haha | 11:54 |
| mdz | wobin: the 'splash' option has no effect on the kernel at all. perhaps something else is the cause? | 11:54 |
| Sleep_bob | I have a bug for nautilus | 11:54 |
| Sleep_bob | it doesn't really work when you try to copy 4200 files | 11:55 |
| wobin | mdz: may have to do with framebuffer perhaps? i deleted the splash option and it booted | 11:55 |
| rburton | seb128: so my ipod appears as sda2, i can unmount it but to unplug it i need to eject it... can this be added to the context menu or will the HAL stuff fix that | 11:55 |
| mdz | wobin: no other changes? | 11:55 |
| wobin | mdz: no | 11:55 |
| === Sleep_bob is now known as HrdwrBoB | ||
| MacPlusG3 | rburton: does 'eject' actually log out of the device? that is, the ipod stops displaying 'do not disconnect'? | 11:55 |
| rburton | MacPlusG3: yes | 11:56 |
| highvoltage | does anyone know if future versions of ubuntu will give you an option of installing lilo? | 11:56 |
| mdz | wobin: and if you add it back, does it oops again? | 11:56 |
| HrdwrBoB | highvoltage: extremely unlikely | 11:56 |
| HrdwrBoB | why? | 11:56 |
| wobin | mdz: haven't tried, was too happy having a working desktop :) | 11:56 |
| highvoltage | I like lilo | 11:56 |
| highvoltage | been using it forever | 11:56 |
| rburton | highvoltage: try grub :) | 11:56 |
| highvoltage | now I have to learn all the grub stuff | 11:57 |
| mdz | wobin: I was pretty sure that everything which looked at the splash option had been ripped out; certainly the kernel itself never paid attention to it | 11:57 |
| HrdwrBoB | highvoltage: I liked lilo to until I used grub :) | 11:57 |
| highvoltage | why is grub better? I'm not arguing, I just want to educate myself | 11:57 |
| rburton | highvoltage: well, you don't need to learn anything. the installer detects other partitions and the kernel packages manage it | 11:57 |
| HrdwrBoB | highvoltage: grub knows about the filesystem | 11:57 |
| wobin | mdz: i'll try tonight (it's noon here now) and post a report here or anywhere else | 11:57 |
| HrdwrBoB | if you screw it up | 11:57 |
| HrdwrBoB | and get the wrong file | 11:57 |

| ggi | To condense & reiterate my original question: uh, xpdf, why? | 12:54 |
| rburton | plovs: el cheapo worked here. run the device manager in computer->system and check out the info | 12:54 |
| pitti | plovs: please _dont_ run pmount as root, that makes no sense | 12:54 |
| rburton | ggi: it works for more PDFs than gpdf does | 12:54 |
| sabdfl | jamesh: Keybuk, you get battery charge level from mouseover when it's plugged in, i thikn | 12:54 |
| jdub | ggi: difficult decision regarding PDF support and searching and stuff | 12:54 |
| jdub | ggi: gpdf for hoary, i'm sure :) | 12:54 |

| sabdfl | plovs: does it show up as /dev/usb/xxx or /dev/xxx? | 12:55 |
| jamesh | sabdfl: I just noticed that there are different tooltips on the big battery and the little status icon | 12:55 |
| pitti | plovs: I'm currently hacking at pmount, maybe I should just stop if it is called by root | 12:55 |
| sabdfl | i get it on the little one | 12:55 |
| pitti | Tomcat_: man pmount | 12:55 |
| pitti | Tomcat_: it is a policy wrapper around mount | 12:55 |
| plovs | rburton, transcend jetflash 2.0 | 12:55 |
| ggi | rburton: Isn't gpdf based on xpdf? | 12:55 |
| martink | jdub: I was just going to ask when gpdf has to be perfect to get into hoary | 12:55 |
| pitti | Tomcat_: it allows normal users to mount removeable devices which are not in fstab | 12:55 |
| Tomcat_ | Ah okay. | 12:55 |
| jdub | ggi: it is, but gpdf uses a different rendering pipeline | 12:56 |
| rburton | ggi: sort of, but the rendering is different, it doesn't do as many embedded fonts | 12:56 |
| jdub | martink! | 12:56 |

| linux_mafia | rburton, I cant run the device manager, it flickers up for a second then goes, any ideas? | 12:56 |
| rburton | jdub: hopefully G2.10's pdf will work fine | 12:56 |
| plovs | sabdfl, /dev/sda mounted on /media/usb-key (called by: pmount /dev/sda usb-key) | 12:56 |
| rburton | linux_mafia: hal isn't running? run it in a terminal | 12:57 |
| jdub | martink: most of the pdf support issues were sorted by the time 2.8 came out, save for the type3 fonts thing (right?) | 12:57 |
| seb128 | rburton: killing the applets help ? :) | 12:57 |
| jdub | martink: and there were comments about no text search | 12:57 |
| rburton | seb128: i didn't notice clock_applet still running until i'd restarted gnome | 12:57 |
| seb128 | URIs support is badly broken in gpdf too | 12:57 |
| jdub | martink: how is the preview-style integration going? reckon that's going to happen for 2.10? | 12:57 |
| highvoltage | I read the Ubuntu faw about version numbers | 12:58 |
| martink | jdub: fonts: yes type3 (and a corner case with not embedded fonts) | 12:58 |
| seb128 | gpdf http:// .. or with samba shares doesn't work | 12:58 |
| seb128 | it just crashs | 12:58 |
| linux_mafia | rburton, thats what i thought to do initially, but it makes no difference | 12:58 |
| highvoltage | What happens if there's another release on 10th of october next year | 12:58 |

| cef | you shouldn't log in as root | 02:09 |
| Deft | your password | 02:09 |
| Keybuk | _axel: your password, not root's | 02:09 |
| cef | give it the users password | 02:10 |
| _axel | ah | 02:10 |
| jono | any idea how to fix this video problem | 02:10 |
| _axel | sec | 02:10 |
| === Kamion does jigdo the hard way | ||
| Kamion | I should have thought to get the amd64 image ages ago, really | 02:10 |
| Deft | anyway, monitor autodetection didn't work for me, but it does with the normal debian installer, any thoughts where the problem is? | 02:10 |
| === Rambler_ [~yep@lmc1.uab.es] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jono | is it something to do with /dev/pmu and incorrect permissions - what is /dev/pmu? | 02:10 |
| _axel | oh, it works | 02:11 |
| cef | ok.. I'm gonna go collapse.. got to work at 8am, left work at 9pm.. dead tired | 02:11 |
| Kamion | Deft: we use quite different monitor autodetection so the two aren't comparable; file an xresprobe bug, I guess | 02:11 |
| _axel | but isnt that like, insecure? | 02:11 |
| Deft | ok | 02:11 |
| Kamion | jono: /dev/pmu is the power management device on powermacs; the error dialog is a GNOME bug | 02:11 |
| _axel | or am i supposed to disable it in sudoers later? | 02:11 |
| daniels | cef: night dude, sleep well | 02:11 |
| cef | _axel: only applies to the first user | 02:11 |
| Kamion | _axel: no, the initial user generally is the person with physical access so has root anyway | 02:11 |
| daniels | jono: that X stuff sounds like random complete arse | 02:11 |
| jono | daniels, random complete arse? huh? :P | 02:12 |
| Kamion | _axel: you can of course disable it if this isn't true | 02:12 |
| jono | Kamion, ahhh right | 02:12 |
| Keybuk | _axel: sudo is as secure as su, some suggest more-so because you don't need a shared root password that can be "found out". And the user created during install is the only one given sudo access by default, and they're the one that generally sets the root password anymore | 02:12 |
| _axel | Kamion, it isnt cause i created a foo user first (because my files in my $HOME partition have uid 1001 so i want them to match my real user when i create it) | 02:12 |
| _axel | but i'll sort it out, thanks | 02:12 |
| fabbione | cef: well .. it's still hardware to take car of | 02:12 |
| fabbione | care even | 02:12 |
| jono | daniels, any idea how I can fix it? | 02:13 |

| Rambler_ | I've been using debian for years and the thing that pisses me off more is the long periods of time of the stable distro, and the lack of commercial support. Both things can be found in ubuntu while maintaining the debian philosophy. Definitely great. Congrats dudes | 02:34 |

| lenkki | Might I suggest the use of a separate /boot partition, and reiserfs3 (or reiser4) for '/' ? | 02:52 |
| rburton | as reiser3 is deprecated and reiser4 isn't finished, that sounds like a bad idea to me | 02:53 |
| Ycros | I thought reiser4 was finished? | 02:53 |
| Kamion | lenkki: The defaults are best left vanilla, we think; ReiserFS and XFS both have both very vocal advocates and very vocal detractors, so choosing either by default would be likely to annoy a lot of people. | 02:53 |
| Kamion | lenkki: You can set it up as you like with the manual partitioner, of course. | 02:54 |
| lenkki | I used the auto partitioner | 02:54 |
| rburton | it would be nice if bash completion was on by default, should i file a bug or will it be closed? | 02:54 |

| will|werk | its a shame that you can't bundle the official drivers on the CD | 03:07 |
| felix | anyone know if the /usr/lib64 /usr/lib32 etc layout is kinda 'standard' on ubunto for amd64? | 03:07 |
| felix | I think you can, just not Free | 03:07 |
| Mithrandir | felix: what do you mean by standard? | 03:07 |

| === free [free@217.201.18.151] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| felix | well, the nvidia installer seems to expect something different, puts 32bit libs in /lib | 03:08 |
| Mithrandir | then it's stupid. | 03:08 |
| felix | aye will | 03:08 |
| Mithrandir | though, it might work. | 03:08 |
| felix | nah, had to unpack and do it myself | 03:09 |
| Mithrandir | felix: it'll stay that until we/debian/I implement multiarch which will solve the issue In The Right Way. | 03:09 |

| tseng | id like it to connect to spamd on another box | 03:18 |
| Zomb | Mithrandir: though, Sarge is not released. Ask you why. Ask you about what can be done to change the situtation. Ubuntu derivate is nice and has deserved its place under the sun but after all, we are Debian developers and should force the main distro into a releaseable state. And not play around with other stuff and let the sinking ship sink, deeper and deeper. | 03:19 |
| dieman | fix the social issues and you might see more willing workers :) | 03:19 |
| dieman | ie: flamewar every disagrement | 03:20 |
| Mithrandir | Zomb: I'm working on Debian, but that doesn't pay the mortage. | 03:20 |
| Zomb | or we simply realize that Debian is fscked up by its design and recreate the whole distro with a smaller set of packages. Like ubuntu. | 03:20 |
| dieman | and GR every time the flamewar happens | 03:20 |
| dieman | thats totally depressing | 03:20 |
| Mithrandir | dieman: you are exaggerating a bit, though | 03:20 |
| dieman | ok, i guess. | 03:20 |

| Kamion | azeem: actually, the installer really uses devfs at the moment, not udev | 03:56 |
| azeem | yeah, I've noticed | 03:56 |
| Robar | When I installed, I had to use the noapic and nolapic option, or else the installer would hang before it got to the language detections screen. | 03:56 |
| Robar | After a successful install, the system reboot, I get "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel." And then it hangs, it won't go any further. | 03:56 |
| Kamion | Robar: the noapic and nolapic options don't currently get copied into your grub configuration | 03:57 |
| Kamion | Robar: it's on my list of things to fix before final release | 03:57 |
| Robar | That's what I was wondering... I know how to edit grub before boot, but what/where do I add those options? | 03:57 |
| Kamion | Robar: in the meantime, press escape at the countdown to get the grub menu, and edit the kernel line of the topmost menu entry, adding 'noapic nolapic' to the end | 03:57 |
| Kamion | then 'b' to boot into that | 03:58 |

| stoffel | Mithrandir: yes | 04:13 |
| azeem | tritium: no, fstab is handled/wrapped by pmount | 04:13 |
| azeem | tritium: AFAIK | 04:13 |
| Mithrandir | stoffel: what sound card do you have? | 04:13 |
| Robar | Thank you Mithrandir. | 04:13 |
| tuggy | tritium, it is in fstab | 04:14 |

| Robar | Sorry, guess I wasn't paying attention to what he wanted. | 04:16 |
| Mithrandir | stoffel: if that returns anything, then you have the module loaded. | 04:16 |
| stoffel | Mithrandir: no... | 04:16 |

| stoffel_ | Mithrandir: with grep oss it finds: snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss, snd_pcm, snd | 04:29 |
| jdub | lamont: hey, did you end up fixing the weird python depends problems stopping things like offlineimap being built? | 04:29 |
| mxpxpod | jdub: why are schemas still installed in /etc/gconf? | 04:30 |
| Mithrandir | stoffel_: hmm.. this is getting weird. Does cat /dev/sndstat tell you that you have some audio devics? | 04:30 |
| rburton | mxpxpod: seb128 is lame | 04:30 |
| mxpxpod | rburton: haha | 04:30 |
| linux_mafia | jdub, it puts an invalid utf-8 string thats a copywrite sign or some such, so hald cant start, this is fixed in hal_0.2.97-0.1_i386.deb in debian testing | 04:30 |
| jdub | mxpxpod: we froze before those changes | 04:30 |
| mxpxpod | jdub: ah, ok | 04:30 |
| jdub | mxpxpod: also, seb128 is lame | 04:30 |
| lamont | jdub: depended on the package - we fixed the individual packages by adding the Build-Dep | 04:30 |
| jdub | SEB ROCKS! | 04:30 |
| jdub | lamont: aha | 04:31 |
| jdub | lamont: bum | 04:31 |
| stoffel_ | Mithrandir: yes, it finds the devices 0 (tv card) and 1 (es1371 (duplex)) | 04:31 |
| linux_mafia | jdub, since ubuntu is 2.92... i'll gues i'll have to wait or do a little mixing and matching with debian testing | 04:31 |
| lamont | jdub: got a package in particular? | 04:32 |

| Tomcat_ | Sound might be muted though... or on volume 0, check that. | 04:38 |

| stub | jdub: Yup | 04:38 |
| stoffel_ | Tomcat_: in my quest for sound, i unmuted everything i found ;-) | 04:39 |

| stoffel_ | i'll bother you later with my second problem ;-) | 04:39 |
| Mithrandir | stoffel_: but as mdz writes in the bug, we need to fix this properly. | 04:39 |
| Tomcat_ | Yeah, the blacklist/whitelist idea looks good to me. | 04:40 |
| lamont | many of the packages have names beginning with 'python-' | 04:40 |
| talos | a | 04:40 |
| Tomcat_ | A bt87x card will almost never be a sound card. :P | 04:40 |
| Mithrandir | or we could make esd a bit smarter. | 04:41 |
| andred | So I thought Ubuntus latest release would not accept updates apart from security updates, like Debian stable. But now I see that for an example new xchat packages have been added. Or am I misstaking? | 04:41 |
| azeem | andred: it's a prerelease | 04:41 |
| Mithrandir | andred: it's a preview release. | 04:41 |
| lamont | andred: critical fixes between preview and release | 04:41 |
| jdub | andred: not added, bugfix uploads ;) | 04:41 |
| andred | Hm, ok. I thought so too first, but sinced the urgency was 'low' I guessed that wasn't the case. | 04:42 |
| lamont | we're also allowed to fix packages in universe that have never built before... | 04:42 |
| Mithrandir | andred: we're not using the urgency field for anything. | 04:42 |
| Mithrandir | lamont: do you still have a list of those somewhere? | 04:42 |
| lamont | andred: urgency on the upload is meaningless | 04:42 |
| azeem | btw, are you regenerating the ISOs all the time, or will the preview release be the only ISO besides the final? | 04:42 |
| lamont | Mithrandir: buildd status on the wiki has many | 04:42 |
| Mithrandir | azeem: I believe the daily ones are still being built. | 04:42 |
| lamont | although it's a bit out of date | 04:42 |
| lamont | Mithrandir: and universe fixes are still below everything else on the plate | 04:43 |
| Kamion | azeem: daily ISOs are still being built, but they aren't actually being made visible anywhere at the moment due to a problem with the bittorrent stuff | 04:43 |
| azeem | ah | 04:43 |
| Kamion | I'll fix that shortly | 04:43 |
| pbor | is there a reason why ssh is not installed by default? | 04:44 |
| Mithrandir | pbor: it is, but the ssh server is not started, I believe? | 04:44 |

| jdub | we have openssh-client installed | 04:44 |

| pbor | Mithrandir, jdub: I see I just noted I had to install it before scping my backups on the shny new install | 04:45 |
| pbor | shiny even | 04:46 |
| Kamion | pbor: the ssh package is now just a dummy package depending on openssh-client and openssh-server | 04:46 |
| Kamion | pbor: this'll go into Debian too post-sarge | 04:46 |
| Kamion | (it's in Debian experimental) | 04:46 |
| azeem | Kamion: btw, do you mind and i386 upload of that? Seems it's only available for powerpc and alpha | 04:46 |
| lamont | jdub: 1333 - should be a trivial fix in debian/config. GAH! | 04:46 |
| Kamion | azeem: not at all, go ahead, I meant to do it myself but didn't get round to it | 04:47 |

| Deft_u | _axel: not really I'm afraid, other than the normal check modules, then check that alsa hasn't set your volume to 0 | 05:08 |
| whiprush | wmv's wouldn't work with totem-xine with me either. | 05:08 |
| az[a] zel_ibook | jdub: ah ok.. I was hoping there was an "legal grey area" repository.. like in mandrkae how they have plf.. all the good stuff is there in one place :) | 05:08 |

| jsubl2 | anyone know of a tool to use to suck in my kmail inbox to evolution | 05:10 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: looks like it's a s/!/\// done on it. | 05:10 |
| az[a] zel_ibook | Keybuk: plf is not run or controlled by mandrake, but by a third party. However the repository is designed to work seamlessly with mandrake | 05:10 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: 0 = /dev/cciss/c0d0 First logical drive, whole disk | 05:10 |
| Kamion | Mithrandir: er, yeah, but (a) initrd-tools doesn't seem to handle this at all, (b) I was more looking for where in the kernel this happened | 05:10 |
| Mithrandir | from devices.txt | 05:10 |
| rburton | jsubl2: create an imap server, use kmail to move the mail, and then point evo at it | 05:10 |
| jsubl2 | rburton, ok thanks | 05:11 |
| _axel | gnome mixer still doesnt work, but well | 05:11 |
| Kamion | it's driving me up the wall, been reading kernel source for the last hour | 05:11 |
| Keybuk | az[a] zel_ibook: ah, well someone could certainly do that for Ubuntu just using the tools in apt-utils and dpkg-dev | 05:11 |
| rburton | jsubl2: then keep the imap server so you can switch client whenever you wish | 05:11 |
| Deft_u | Mithrandir, is the X setup at install the same as the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 one in principle? | 05:11 |
| Mithrandir | Deft_u: yes | 05:11 |
| ish | Mithrandir: I think that noacpi/noapic worked.. | 05:12 |

| tritium | jdub, were you asking about evo-exchange patches? | 05:23 |
| housetier | where do I find the logs from ppp? I installed ubuntu on a friends laptop yesterday and couldn't get pppoe to work. There were no logs in /var/log/{syslog,messages} and "plog" didnt show anything either | 05:23 |
| Mithrandir | housetier: /var/log/daemon.log or syslog | 05:24 |
| azeem | housetier: perhaps adding 'debug' to the options in /etc/ppp/peers/foo helps | 05:24 |
| jdub | tritium: i don't think so, but someone was asking if i was asking about asking you | 05:24 |
| housetier | azeem, ok I'll try that once he gets here | 05:24 |
| housetier | Mithrandir, I must admit I didnt check daemon.log, I shall do so later | 05:24 |
| housetier | other than that I must say: ubuntu is great! :D | 05:25 |
| Mithrandir | housetier: /var/log/syslog should have _all_ logs, so it should certainly have it. | 05:25 |
| tritium | jdub, I think mxpxpod was referring to the patches from "deb http://www.fmepnet.org/debian/ main main" that I use. | 05:25 |
| mxpxpod | jdub: that's a lot of asking :) | 05:26 |
| clee | hrm | 05:27 |
| clee | is archive.u.c being really slow for anybody else? | 05:27 |
| jdub | tritium: oh, for openldap and stuff, or...? | 05:27 |
| Keybuk | clee: I get a delay to open the connection, but a fast download once it's open | 05:28 |
| Chriffer | Why did you copy the coloc scheme of it.slashdot.org? | 05:28 |
| Chriffer | color I mean | 05:29 |
| clee | Keybuk: weird. | 05:29 |
| Keybuk | colour you mean? :p | 05:29 |
| clee | (same here) | 05:29 |
| Mithrandir | Chriffer: we did? | 05:29 |
| Keybuk | clee: just out of Apache processes, probably | 05:29 |
| rburton | what do people have against cream/brown! | 05:29 |
| tritium | jdub, actually, just to be able to login to and use the exchange server at all. | 05:29 |
| Keybuk | Chriffer: to be fair, I expect it's impossible to pick a colour scheme that isn't used by Slashdot somewhere | 05:29 |
| Mithrandir | Chriffer: they look very much different to me. | 05:29 |
| clee | Keybuk: the interesting thing is that pings also take a long time | 05:29 |
| subterrific | uhh, the colors don't even match it.slashdot.org | 05:29 |
| tritium | I couldn't do it with the standard evo-exchange | 05:30 |
| clee | Keybuk: but the weird thing about it is that even though they take a long time, each packet doesn't take long | 05:30 |
| clee | (which doesn't make sense) | 05:30 |
| subterrific | Chriffer: get a better monitor if you think that color is the same | 05:30 |
| Chriffer | No, I'm joking, but thu it sectian is always mocked for its coloc scheme | 05:30 |
| Chriffer | wow | 05:30 |
| mxpxpod | jdub: can you compile those gnome-bluetooth packages for ppc when you get time? | 05:30 |
| Chriffer | I quit typing | 05:30 |

| Keybuk | clee: I don't get what you mean? | 05:30 |
| mxpxpod | jdub: darn | 05:31 |
| Chriffer | I think that's the worst line of typing I have ever produced | 05:31 |
| Keybuk | I see a ~ 1s ping time | 05:31 |
| clee | Keybuk: I mean that it takes me ten seconds to get two packets back | 05:31 |
| rburton | jdub: dammit i'll propose it for g2.10 then! | 05:31 |
| clee | Keybuk: But each packet reports that it got there and back in under 100ms | 05:31 |
| clee | so I don't get why it takes ten seconds for two of them. | 05:31 |
| === clee shrugs | ||
| Keybuk | probably not enough link room for arp/routeing stuff | 05:31 |
| Keybuk | for firewall being odd | 05:31 |
| clee | anyway, good to see that the distro is so ridiculously popular :) | 05:31 |
| Keybuk | plenty of networky reasons for that | 05:31 |
| Keybuk | that's just high latency | 05:32 |
| _axel | uhm | 05:32 |
| subterrific | Chriffer: seriously, where do you see ubuntu using that color? | 05:32 |
| Mithrandir | we should akamai the archive. :) | 05:32 |
| _axel | how am i supposed to add a cups printer if root user is disabled? the http interface wants me to login as root | 05:32 |

| Mithrandir | _axel: don't use the web interface, use gnome-cups-manager | 05:33 |
| _axel | uhm k | 05:33 |
| Chriffer | It was a joke, but no one noticed that, so I guess it was a poorly worded joke | 05:33 |
| Keybuk | or set a root password | 05:33 |

| sivan | Kamion : which iso would be a good 'current' testing target? i want to test that installtion hang up i've been getting with the daily and a former release | 06:04 |
| _axel | so start now | 06:04 |
| _axel | after that, you do 'modprobe nvidia' | 06:05 |
| _axel | that loads the kernel module | 06:05 |
| _axel | then you do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, go through all the config options which should be already set to the correct default and select 'nvidia' driver rather than 'nv' | 06:05 |
| _axel | and then you uncheck GLcore and dri from the list of X server modules to load | 06:06 |
| _axel | then you do 'cat nvidia >> /etc/modules' and zap the server with ctrl-alt-backspace to have it restart | 06:06 |
| _axel | the X server i mean | 06:06 |
| _axel | after that, you should see the nvidia logo before the gdm screen kicks in | 06:07 |

| _axel | well | 06:07 |
| sivan | what? somebody said xp?? :) | 06:07 |
| _axel | it was much worse when you had to build the driver yourself and get the full kernel source and mess with broken symbolic links and etc | 06:08 |
| werewolf | wow! I now finished to install ubuntu, very very well | 06:08 |
| khalek | maybe they're running an athlon | 06:08 |
| === sivan is now known as sivang | ||
| JanneM | but as long as nvidia do not release drivers with a license that allows distribution with the kernel itself, there isn all that much anybody can do about it | 06:08 |

| renners | I hope so! | 06:08 |
| Adonijah- | nvidia like many other manufacturers doesn't have a legal choice in the matter | 06:08 |
| khalek | they could release docs for things like their ethernet chips though | 06:09 |
| === al_ [~arnaud@timeout.typhon.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| al_ | hi | 06:09 |
| khalek | I don't buy that | 06:09 |
| === sivang has been TOO MANY times banging head against nvidia installation on xphome, with such undeterministic behavior he'd go crzy | ||
| Adonijah- | well, i know it's true for part of their hardware | 06:09 |
| khalek | look at pretty much every single other ethernet chip that has docs available | 06:09 |

| seb128 | pbor: yes, we have only totem-gstreamer and no ffmpeg plugin for legal reasons | 07:40 |
| seb128 | pbor: btw plugins/xine/... in universe are ok | 07:40 |

| seb128 | pbor: I think so, I'm not an expert on this plan, but be have xine which contains some ffmpeg parts ... so I guess it's ok | 07:43 |

| cybrjackle|lappy | daniels, on laptop or desktop | 09:35 |

| philipss | i'm wondering how does one thing work in ubuntu .. plugging my usb key, it appears on the desktop ... what's behind that magic ? | 09:43 |
| daniels | cybrjackle|lappy: what happens if you run 'sudo xresprobe nv' on that machine? | 09:43 |
| psi | has anyone tried running ubuntu with 64 MB of ram? (with gnome) | 09:43 |
| blocke | cybrjackle|lappy: whenever I close the lid the system locks solid instantly | 09:43 |

| cybrjackle|lappy | let me go over there, brb | 09:44 |

| trukulo | no, nolapic | 09:45 |
| cybrjackle | correct freq and no erors | 09:45 |
| trukulo | it means: no local apic | 09:45 |
| blocke | trukulo: ah ok, was that in response to the pnpbios issue or the laptop locking up when lid is closed issue? | 09:45 |
| trukulo | i was mad about that | 09:45 |
| trukulo | blocke, i don't understand very well, i'm not native english | 09:45 |
| cybrjackle | daniels, however it didn't give me 1600x1200 | 09:46 |

| daniels | i'll have a look over it and we can keep on debugging this | 09:46 |
| daniels | i have a feeling this is going to be really painful | 09:46 |
| blocke | trukulo: when you close the lid of a laptop it presses the button, under windows the laptop starts "sleeping", but with ubuntu the system stops responding | 09:46 |
| cybrjackle | ok | 09:46 |
| blocke | can't even get a kernel panic or anything... hmm | 09:46 |
| trukulo | blocke, ah, perhaps it works, then | 09:46 |
| trukulo | if your laptop haven't got a good acpi, local apic it's a pain in the ass | 09:47 |
| trukulo | try it, and tell me | 09:47 |
| daniels | ... or maybe I've already fixed it :) | 09:47 |
| trukulo | daniels, ubuntu has cpufreq by default ? | 09:48 |

| daniels | (it was so slow that I'd start a compile, shut it and put it in my bag or something as I travelled, and wanted it to keep compiling; hence using the sleep button to suspend.) | 10:03 |

How about splitting up the Computer menu in two menus, one containing obviously computer related stuff like "System Configuration", "Disks", "Network" (and perhaps Logout and Lock Screen) and then having another menu with more user-oriented items such as Home, Documents, Search for files, etc? | 10:26 |

| punkass_ | 2.6.7 is as high as they go | 11:27 |
| azeem | it's linux-source, AFAIK | 11:27 |
| ||cw | weird, even sarge has a 2.6.8 | 11:27 |

| [Clint] | and linux-image | 11:27 |
| punkass_ | thanks...linux-image seems to be already installed | 11:28 |
| lamont_r | linux-image-2.6-686 is your friend s/686/whatever/ | 11:29 |
| Deft_u | 686? does that really exist? | 11:31 |
| Chriffer | pentium 2/ amd k6 and above are 686s | 11:32 |
| Deft_u | (the kernel image I mean, I'm fairly sure 686 exists itself) | 11:32 |
| Chriffer | bah! | 11:32 |
| Deft_u | fairly annoying using 386 instead of my normal k7 images... | 11:33 |
| mdz | jdub: ping? | 11:35 |

| === gpart [~mario@p548062E0.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| punkass_ | You dont seem to have sources for your kernel; install them in /usr/src, link /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-2-386/build to it and try again | 11:44 |
| punkass_ | how would i go about that? | 11:44 |
| punkass_ | i know its ln -s | 11:44 |
| Deft | do you have the sources in place? | 11:44 |
| Deft | that is, /usr/src/linux-whatever linked to /usr/src/linux | 11:45 |
| punkass_ | yeah i just installed linux-sources-2.6.8 | 11:45 |

| punkass_ | oh i see it put them in usr/src but as a bz2 | 11:48 |
| === ficusplanet [~brad@12-216-226-172.client.mchsi.com] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| Deft | ok, first unwrap that | 11:49 |
| Deft | (cd /usr/src/, then tar xjf linux...bz2) | 11:49 |
| punkass_ | yup in the process | 11:49 |
| === An-tonio [~An-tonio@92.red-217-217-135.user.auna.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| An-tonio | hi | 11:50 |
| Deft | then, probably the best way (I don't know how ubuntu kernel releases will work,) is to: | 11:51 |
| mdz | sivang: usb printer or parallel? | 11:52 |
| Deft | cd /lib/modules/`uname -r` | 11:52 |
| mdz | sivang: please note it in the bug | 11:52 |
| sivang | mdz : ok :) off to the bugzilla | 11:52 |

| gpart | are there any screenshots of the ubuntu default screen online? | 11:53 |
| punkass_ | hmm still getting the same error | 11:54 |
| mdz | lamont_r: yes | 11:54 |
| rexiboy | need some help configuring x :( "can't find screen" | 11:54 |
| rexiboy | I thought ubuntu was going to work right away... | 11:55 |
| punkass_ | build -> /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.8.1 | 11:55 |
| lamont_r | 1333 - one line fix. I think 1341 is about 3 lines... | 11:55 |
| lamont_r | mdz: whaddya think? | 11:55 |
| EpheMeroN | hello ppl | 11:56 |
| lamont_r | 1333 is dead solid (deleted one too many lines from config...) 1341 is bad handling of no-hostname case, which I need to dig into more... | 11:56 |
| mdz | lamont_r: 1333 approved, 1341 you say it's not reproducible? | 11:56 |
| rexiboy | i guess no one can help here | 11:57 |
| lamont_r | well, the only way it would be reproducable is if $myhostname was null at the end of postinst (which is fatal to newaliases, so I didn't run it...) | 11:57 |
| azeem | gpart: check osnews.com | 11:57 |
| lamont_r | I need to reproduce that one to be able to close it correctly... | 11:57 |
| lamont_r | and I think that's as simple as a non-network cold install. | 11:57 |

| lamont_r | rexiboy: file a bug with the output (as root) of ddcprobe and xresprobe <driver> (where driver is the driver for your card) | 11:58 |
| punkass_ | anyone have any luck installing ndiswrapper on ubuntu? | 11:58 |
| rexiboy | lamont_r, how am i supposed to do that :) | 11:59 |
| azeem | punkass_: somebody from canonical was working on it AFAIK, dunno if it's getting integrated | 11:59 |
| mdz | lamont_r: let's revisit 1341 when the bug has been identified | 11:59 |
| lamont_r | mdz: yeah - working on it now/tonight. | 11:59 |
| lamont_r | and stalling on 13333 | 11:59 |
