| Deft | jvic, what else do you have that it should show as well as your hard disk? | 12:01 |
|---|---|---|
| jvic | Netwolf: marillat is a Debian repository for mplayer packages | 12:01 |
| Wsquared | Thanks folks, switching to oss in mplayer worked. Next I'll try totem-xine. | 12:03 |
| jvic | Deft: i've got 4 primary partitions, and 2 extended partitions... shouldn't it list them? Also, i've got a free space on my disk that i've setup for Ubuntu to use (allocate a new partition there). But it didn't list the free space too... in other words, i don't know how to install Ubuntu without having to erase my entire disk. | 12:03 |
| bolivar | jvic: durring the install when it searches your drive and it asks if you want to write the partitions say no....youll 'should' then have the option to see everything | 12:05 |
| bolivar | during that is | 12:05 |
| theantix | jvic, I had the exact same problem (https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1253) -- are you sure your partitions are okay? Can you check in parted to see if parted can see them? | 12:06 |
| Wsquared | For the totem-xine fans: Synaptic wants to delete totem-gstreamer in order to install totem-xine. What's up with that? | 12:06 |
| tseng | Wsquared: they block each other for obvious reasons | 12:06 |
| phlaegel | Wsquared: you can only use one of the totem backends | 12:06 |
| jvic | theantix: coincidentally, before trying to install Ubuntu, i tried to use Qtparted, but i can't.. when i select my HD, it just exists. | 12:07 |
| phlaegel | they do the same thing | 12:07 |

| jmhodges | ok.. | 12:07 |
| jmhodges | i've now tried 3 iso d/ls | 12:07 |
| jmhodges | and md5 checked the last one | 12:07 |
| jmhodges | it matched | 12:07 |
| jmhodges | but bsdutils is still corrupted on the iso | 12:07 |
| jmhodges | argh. | 12:08 |
| Wsquared | OK--I didn't know what totem-gstreamer was! | 12:08 |
| === mandingo is now known as xcasex | ||
| Deft | jmhodges, if you are sure that's where the problem is, you could mount the iso and change it, but if the md5s match, that would be very wierd | 12:08 |
| === Cardador [~jose@81.84.201.33] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| bolivar | jmhodges: you could try a daily release instead | 12:09 |
| jvic | theantix: so, how did you discovered/solutioned the problem? Because it seems it's the same problem | 12:09 |
| bolivar | when i installed i used the daily from the 16th | 12:10 |
| bolivar | http://archive.ubuntu.com/cdimage/daily/current/ | 12:10 |
| theantix | jvic, I got my data off and started again from scratch -- ugly solution, but that's what I had to do | 12:10 |
| jvic | theantix: oh well... guess i won't be installing Ubuntu soon :( | 12:12 |
| jvic | theantix: damn it... do you have any idea what might have caused the problem? | 12:13 |
| theantix | if your partition table is invalid, you'll need to fix it eventually before you suffer data loss | 12:13 |
| jvic | theantix: how did you find out your partition table is invalid? | 12:14 |
| Wsquared | When I installed totem-xine, the install got to the text window, and printed the usual messages about setting up... | 12:14 |
| theantix | jvic, not entirely sure but I think it was something to do with resizing ntfs with the mandrake installer (should have used qtparted instead I know now) | 12:14 |

| ioguix | so, I have an mp3 player which has an SD card support | 01:03 |

| tseng | @ IkeKrull , bugzilla | 01:05 |
| ioguix | ok | 01:05 |
| ioguix | bugzilla :) | 01:05 |
| tseng | but you too actually | 01:05 |
| tseng | everyone file lots of bugs :) | 01:05 |
| jdub | ioguix: because it can cause problems with some devices | 01:05 |
| tseng | for your requests for hoary | 01:05 |
| bskahan | install went very weel everything seems to work out of the box except nvidia driver doesn't modprobe before gdm starts | 01:05 |
| jo_ | jdub, tseng: ok, thanks. Another question: how about installing the Sun JDK? It was a real "pain in the ass" in Debian. | 01:06 |
| jdub | jo_: there are some packages mentioned on the wiki | 01:06 |
| Cardador | bskahan: put nvidia on /etc/modules | 01:06 |
| tseng | jesse_132: libxml updated | 01:06 |
| jo_ | jdub: OK, I'll have a look at them. I used Gentoo for a while, and "emerge sun-jdk" was a lot easier :-) | 01:06 |
| IkeKrull | yeah i have a multi-card reader that would requirre multi-LUN | 01:07 |
| jdub | jo_: making proprietary software work is not our immediate priority | 01:07 |

| bskahan | Cardador: thanks, I'll do that | 01:08 |
| ioguix | jdub: maybe supporting it as module could be nice ? | 01:08 |
| jdub | ioguix: i don't believe you can build it as a module | 01:09 |
| ioguix | In fact, I just test the auto-mount support in gnome with my player | 01:10 |
| jdub | ioguix: please file a bug, it'll be looked at (lots of card readers require it now) | 01:10 |

| jesse_132 | tseng, got it, thanks... still cannot compile monodevelop either though :( | 01:10 |
| ioguix | in https://bugzilla.no-name-yet.com/ right ? | 01:10 |
| tseng | ioguix: /topic | 01:11 |
| jdub | tseng: you shouldn't need the latext libxml foo for mono stuff | 01:11 |
| jo_ | jdub: OK. I understand this completely. An easy-package would be handy though. Just wondering how Sun JDK differs from the "non-free" section really. I prefer Ubuntu to keep Debian's policy regarding free software, as most desktop-ready distro's lack this kind of policy. | 01:11 |
| tseng | jdub: the libgtksourceview-cil package wants it | 01:11 |
| jdub | tseng: you should be able to drop the depends back | 01:11 |
| tseng | not sure if its a hard dep of i could back it down | 01:11 |
| tseng | yes ok | 01:11 |
| tseng | i will do that shortly :) | 01:12 |
| jdub | if possible, make stuff use things in warty :-) | 01:12 |
| jdub | (main, not universe) | 01:12 |

| theantix | jo_, I had no problems installing sun java and mozilla plugins using sun's instructions | 01:12 |
| ioguix | tseng: oops, thanks :) | 01:12 |
| jdub | Mithrandir: with confirmation | 01:13 |

| Mithrandir | without it, gossip just sits there, since the callback is never activated. | 01:14 |
| jo_ | theantix: I used the debian java howto, and symlinked the mozilla plugin... Which went fine, but I don't quite see my parents doing it :-) | 01:15 |

| Mithrandir | jdub: does that mean "please upload" in australian? ;) | 01:17 |

| bad_ronald | okay, when I log in, gnome displays an error message " "Could not look up internet address of myhost (default: "debian", I renamed it during install), it may be possible to correct problem by adding myhost to file: etc/hosts" So, how do I do that? | 01:35 |
| bad_ronald | localhost (i.e. default: "ubuntu") is listed there | 01:36 |
| === justin_linuxppc [~justin@202.148.237.169] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Deft | bad_ronald, not sure exactly what you mean, but the line in hosts should be "127.0.0.1 <hostname> localhost locahost.localdomain" or equivalent | 01:37 |
| bad_ronald | yes, that line is there, but there were two instances where a hostname had to be supplied during the installation, once during the cd install, then later after the web update, the first was called "ubuntu" and the second was called "debian", "ubuntu" is there but "debian" is not. | 01:39 |
| bad_ronald | it does read 127.0.0.1 at the top, though | 01:40 |
| Kamion | do you remember the context of the second question? | 01:40 |
| Kamion | that shouldn't have been asked | 01:40 |
| Deft | I still don't understand what's happened, but you can add as many names as you want to refer to your computer | 01:40 |
| tseng | jdub: i think i inadvertantly pulled in a few things from sid, im rebuilding the pkgs w/ more of a clue this time | 01:40 |
| tseng | im starting to get a hang of what is going on | 01:41 |
| bad_ronald | It was identical to the first question, only it happened after the web-based package installation, the only difference was the default name given #1: ubuntu, #2 debian, I changed #1 to localhost, and #2 to myhost, I wasn't really sure whether they were different or the same | 01:41 |

| ponds | awesome | 01:44 |
| ponds | i was really not impressed with userlinux turning on usermin (webmin clone) by default on the desktop install | 01:44 |
| bad_ronald | Can I just copy the information and write myhost wherever localhost is? | 01:44 |
| Deft | bad_ronald, ignore those; what does your system think it's called, either from running "hostname", or "cat /etc/hostname"? | 01:45 |
| Kamion | ponds: ew! | 01:45 |
| Kamion | bad_ronald: leave localhost alone ... | 01:45 |
| bad_ronald | it returns "myhost" | 01:45 |
| Deft | then your /etc/hosts must have "127.0.0.1 myhost localhost locahost.localdomain" in it, there shouldn't be anything else to change | 01:48 |
| bad_ronald | This is all that is written on the first line of /etc/hosts: "127.0.0.1localhost.localdomainlocalhostlocalhost" | 01:49 |

| DimSum | I was surfing happily one minute, then the next it wasn't working | 02:01 |
| DimSum | So I rebooted | 02:01 |
| Kamion | I'm pretty sure the installer won't have set it up that way; maybe this network settings thingy did that, I don't work on that end of the distribution :) | 02:02 |
| DimSum | No, it was working fine; hence the problem | 02:02 |
| DimSum | I didn't touch anything, and it just stopped working | 02:02 |
| DimSum | So er, can I manually edit /interfaces to fix it? | 02:02 |
| Kamion | for a static network interface, you generally want something in /etc/network/interfaces like this: | 02:02 |
| Kamion | iface eth0 inet static | 02:02 |
| Kamion | address 192.168.124.33 | 02:02 |
| Kamion | network 192.168.124.0 | 02:02 |
| hornbeck | DimSum: try rebooting the router | 02:02 |
| Kamion | netmask 255.255.255.128 | 02:02 |
| DimSum | hornbeck: I'm connected fine at the moment | 02:03 |
| Kamion | (and 'auto eth0' on a previous line if you want it to come up automatically) | 02:03 |
| DimSum | From my Windows box | 02:03 |
| DimSum | So no. | 02:03 |
| DimSum | Kamion: How about for DHCP? | 02:03 |
| Kamion | for DHCP: | 02:03 |
| Kamion | auto eth0 | 02:03 |
| DimSum | iface eth0 inet dhcp ? | 02:03 |
| Kamion | iface eth0 inet dhcp | 02:03 |
| hornbeck | DimSum: I had same problem this morning, windows box connected Ubuntu did not. Reboot router everything fine | 02:03 |
| Kamion | then 'ifup eth0' and see what happens | 02:03 |
| DimSum | hornbeck: You're missing the point, the adapter has disappeared from Network Settings | 02:03 |
| hornbeck | fine | 02:04 |
| Kamion | I bet network settings reads /etc/network/interfaces; that's what it should do on a Debian-style distribution | 02:04 |
| necival | Strange problem: I have "rw,user" for my /dev/sdb1 but when my user mounts it, it's read only. And for my external usb, I have the same, rw,user but when a user mounts it he can't read nor write it. | 02:04 |
| Kamion | which would explain why it's not there any more, but not why it was there in the first place | 02:04 |
| DimSum | Kamion: Works fine | 02:04 |
| Kamion | eth0 working now? | 02:04 |
| DimSum | Got the device back in Network Settings, as well | 02:04 |
| DimSum | Yeah; thanks | 02:04 |
| Kamion | cool | 02:04 |
| DimSum | See this is what pisses me off | 02:05 |
| DimSum | One minute, you can be using Linux | 02:05 |
| DimSum | And everything can be working relatively fine | 02:05 |
| DimSum | And the next, something breaks | 02:05 |
| DimSum | For no apparent reason | 02:05 |
| Kamion | no, I've never seen this kind of thing happen before | 02:05 |
| DimSum | I have; with practically every distro I've ever used | 02:05 |
| Kamion | however, I'd have to be sitting in front of your computer to work out what was wrong, unfortunately | 02:05 |
| Kamion | from my perspective the problem is currently unreproducible :-/ | 02:06 |
| DimSum | ;P | 02:07 |
| DimSum | Unfortunately, like I said, it didn't appear to have an actual cause | 02:07 |
| DimSum | If it was something I'd done, I could understand it | 02:07 |
| DimSum | But I hadn't been messing around with settings or anything | 02:07 |
| Kamion | well, the fact that it wasn't in /etc/network/interfaces is at best interesting | 02:07 |
| Kamion | was this an interface you configured during the initial Ubuntu installation? | 02:08 |
| Kamion | I'm suspecting not, since you only get to configure one at that point | 02:08 |
| Wsquared | I would like to try the nvidia graphics driver that is on their website. Anything I should be aware of before trying it? | 02:09 |
| Deft | Wsquared, nvidias website? it's probably simpler to get the driver with apt instead | 02:11 |
| DimSum | Yes, it was the device that was configured at the start of the installation | 02:12 |
| DimSum | Hence it being eth0 | 02:12 |
| DimSum | Rather than eth1 ;P | 02:12 |

| guest | (newbie here) anybody out there that might be able to help me with my ubuntu networking issues (during install) | 02:37 |
| Kamion | guest: go ahead and ask | 02:37 |
| guest | dhcp works, the resolve.conf looks correct (I alt-f2) to check this out while it was trying to contact the ubuntu network for updates ... but it doesn't work, in addition my entire LAN stops resolving after I start using ubuntu (I can go on) | 02:38 |
| Kamion | can you ping the gateway? | 02:40 |
| necival | Strange problem: I have "rw,user" for my /dev/sdb1 but when my user mounts it, it's read only. And for my external usb, I have the same, rw,user but when a user mounts it he can't read nor write it. | 02:40 |
| guest | Kamion: that I didn't try, it's down now, I have to get out of ubuntu, get on my gateway and release/renew my dhcp lease for the rest of my network to get back to normal (i.e. resolve) | 02:41 |
| Deft | Wsquared, run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, select nvidia as your driver, dselect loading dri and glx | 02:41 |
| guest | Kamion: gateway == router in my case ... | 02:41 |
| Kamion | they're pretty much synonyms nowadays | 02:42 |
| Wsquared | Deft: Can I do this while running X? | 02:42 |
| guest | Kamion: I'm going to restart the install and debug it some more, my connection should be good on my laptop, it's just that any new connections (dns attempts?) don't work after getting into ubuntu ... | 02:43 |
| Deft | yes, but it won't affect till you've logged out | 02:43 |
| guest | Kamion: looks like the installation is starting over with the base reconfig, I'm in and can ping and resolve right now, so I'm guessing something gets pooched during the install ... I'm chime in when it stops working and see if the gateway ping still works or not (it is now) | 02:45 |
| guest | Kamion: hmmm, looks like it's failing to resolve to security.ubuntu.com right now, is that service alive yet in the prerelease? | 02:46 |
| Wsquared | nvidia is not in the list of drivers; is this the driver provided by nvidia-glx (which I currently do not have installed)? | 02:46 |
| Kamion | guest: the host is alive, but the ubuntu-security repository isn't there yet | 02:47 |

| hornbeck | has anyone had gnome-terminal just stop working? | 02:49 |
| hornbeck | mine stopped showing the prompt | 02:49 |
| Kamion | guest: I'd check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages as a first resort | 02:50 |
| Wsquared | I started running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, but since the driver that I want is not there, I want get of the program. There is no cancel option, and hitting escape just move to the next screen. How do I get out of this thing? | 02:51 |
| Wsquared | "I want get of" == "I want to get out of" | 02:51 |
| Kamion | Wsquared: just run all the way through, if you accept all the defaults it won't change# | 02:53 |
| guest | Kamion: lots of messages of course, weedign through them I see a few notes about IPv6, "no routers present", and that it's using IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver ... could this be some sort of IPv6 oddity? In addition, I can ping google.com, but nobody else - it's like google.com is cache'd up or something ... | 02:54 |

| guest | Kamion: and what's totally bizarre to me is that now my laptop can no longer resolve ... it's like either A) ubuntu ticked off my router, or B) ubuntu is serving out something on my network that is ticking other clients off | 02:55 |
| Wsquared | Will it ask "Are you sure?" at the end? In the very first screen, I scrolled around a bit to see what drivers were there. I don't know where it was when I hit escape. | 02:55 |
| Kamion | Wsquared: no, but it saves a backup IIRC | 02:56 |
| guest | Kamion: no odd wireless stuff ... normal, well working, broadband (cable modem) connection from my home ... it works (repeatablhy after I get out of unbuntu and reset my router) | 02:56 |
| Wsquared | Could I just kill the console? | 02:56 |

| Deft | Roxim, you don't need the kernel source if you go straight for the ubuntu packaged nvidia driver | 02:59 |
| guest | Kamion: now my router won't even renew my lease ... does ubuntu try and run a dhcp server by default? | 02:59 |
| Roxim | Deft: How would I go about doing that | 02:59 |
| Roxim | Deft: The one on the disk only gave me a screen with multicolored lines | 03:00 |
| Deft | you need linux-restricted-modules-whateverkernelversion, and nvidia-glx packages | 03:00 |

| MrPiddlz | That's the problem I have I got not DRI suppose so no direct rendering. I have an ATi though. | 03:22 |

| MrPiddlz | I dunno how nvidia works but from everything I read there drivers are easy to install. | 03:23 |
| Wsquared | But the real reason that I deselected them is because someone here said to! (I already forget--was that deft?) | 03:23 |

| Wsquared | MrPiddlz, goatboy_ (and anyone else): It still doesn't work. You were correct about GLCore and glx. These enable software OpenGL rendering. (It says so right in the configure program.) So I disabled GLCore and glx, and re-enable dri, but glxgears is still running at about 380 FPS, and tuxracer is seems jumpy and coarse compared to how I've seen it before on this computer. | 03:43 |

| Kamion | _Description: Write the changes to disk and resize the partition? | 03:50 |
| JanneM | first the size, then ask to do other changes before we do the resize, then do the resize | 03:50 |
| Kamion | Before the resize operation takes place, the changes have to be written | 03:50 |

| Kamion | hm, I can see your point | 03:50 |
| JanneM | but since I have not specified a change yet, this sounds very strange | 03:50 |
| Wsquared | goatboy_: But the X server configuration program specifically said that GLCore and glx enable software rendering. Isn't the point of the card to do the rendering in hardware--so these modules are not necessary? | 03:50 |
| psyklops | Se7h: if you weren't referring to UT2003, I'm sorry, but I have no experience with any other UT. | 03:50 |
| Se7h | psyklops i installed UT (the first one) and i got the windrv error | 03:50 |
| JanneM | it looks a lot like a screen was skipped | 03:50 |
| Kamion | JanneM: I think it might be because it doesn't know how to calculate the maximum size before you've written the changes to disk | 03:50 |
| JanneM | and since it's about repartitioning I tend to become very paranoid about it | 03:51 |
| Kamion | JanneM: how about if the screen were just clarified a bit? | 03:51 |

| tseng | jdub: but the dep doesnt seem valid | 03:54 |
| tseng | right everything builds and runs | 03:54 |
| Wsquared | goatboy_: Yes, and I think that is why glx does not have be be done in software in X, since the card will do it. | 03:54 |

| tseng | so.. i think we are clean | 03:54 |
| calc | i'll have to see if the recent acpi fixes help resolve that issue in 2.6.9 | 03:54 |
| Wsquared | But unless some combination of options can fry my video card, I guess it can't hurt to try a few more permuations... | 03:55 |

| Se7h | can't see what is cause | 03:57 |
| Wsquared | Before I start trying more combinations of options, is there a definite way for me to test that the graphics hardware acceleration is up and running? Something more than running tuxracer and thinking "It seems slow"? | 03:58 |
| Kamion | acf: boot normally, run through the interface up to the beginning of the partitioning step, switch to tty2, mount your installed filesystem somewhere, chroot | 03:58 |
| guest | So, I'm in gnome, and I fire up a xterm, and type runlevel, and it says, "N 2" ... seems like an oddly low runlevel for a GUI environment (i.e. instead of 5 or 6) ... any useful reason? | 03:58 |
| acf | ok | 03:58 |
| acf | thanks | 03:58 |
| goatboy_ | Wsquared: glxinfo | grep direct | 03:58 |
| acf | any idea why it happened? | 03:58 |
| Kamion | acf: it's a little overcomplex but it's the easiest way that exists at the moment | 03:58 |

| jesse_132 | when will ubuntu get gtkspell 2.0.6 or greater... is there a reason only to have 2.0.5 (2.0.6 is when squiggily underline for misspell became default) | 04:15 |

| JanneM | ah, but this is frequent _and_ fully supported | 04:15 |
| claviola | Progeny tried this and failed, I sure hope the Ubuntu guys succeed. | 04:15 |
| Kamion | hornbeck: most of the hardware detection improvements have been in the area of X | 04:16 |
| claviola | I'm waiting for the CDs from shipit to arrive, if they ever do, so I give it a good shot :-P | 04:16 |
| Wsquared | goatboy_: So far, none of the combinations worked. | 04:16 |

| claviola | Kamion?! | 04:16 |

| rexi_boy | any one here tried the amd64? | 04:17 |
| Kamion | rexi_boy: yup | 04:17 |
| Kamion | rexi_boy: the automatic resolution detection stuff doesn't work on amd64 yet | 04:17 |
| claviola | Kamion: it's just that you're not joined to any debian channels, so I had assumed you had resigned | 04:17 |
| rexi_boy | Kamion was x setup right away? | 04:17 |

| rexi_boy | Kamion what did you do to get it right? | 04:18 |

| claviola | I'll check osnews, tis less annoying. | 04:22 |
| rexi_boy | what's the best way to get nvidia drivers on ubuntu? | 04:22 |
| claviola | jdub: do you have a link? | 04:23 |
| claviola | aha, found it. | 04:23 |
| guest | aitrus: dunno, didn't get that far, didn't come up by default so I assume it wasn't a prepatched kernel thing ... did you try to patching the bootsplash stuff already? (has anyone?) | 04:23 |
| aitrus | well, i noticed that the default kernel line has "splash" | 04:24 |
| Wsquared | rexi_boy: If you mean graphics card drivers, that's what I'm trying to figure out right now. | 04:24 |
| aitrus | so maybe i assumed too much along those lines... =) | 04:24 |
| acf | what do i need to give grub for "install DEVICE" when my device is /dev/hda1? | 04:24 |
| acf | i'm more familliar with lilo | 04:24 |
| aitrus | (hd0,0) usually | 04:25 |
| rexi_boy | Wsquared yes, really easy with gentoo :) | 04:25 |
| Wsquared | ... I'm not having much luck. | 04:25 |
| rexi_boy | acf hd0,0 | 04:25 |
| guest | aitrus: hmm never seen "splash" alone on the grub kernel line, the bootsplash ususally looks like "vga=791 splash=silent" (or similar) | 04:26 |

| rexi_boy | acf what are you trying to do? | 04:28 |
| guest | Se7h: do tell? | 04:28 |
| Wsquared | rexi_boy: There are a lot of packages related to nvidia. In particular, I think nvidia-glx is what I want. I installed it, and the "nvdivia" driver showed up in the list of drivers when I configure the X server, but I still don't get hardware acceleration. | 04:28 |
| acf | i installed ubuntu in vmware, but grub didn't install right | 04:28 |
| acf | so i've rebooted, and ch'rooted to the install | 04:28 |
| acf | am running grub now | 04:28 |
| Se7h | guest hum ? | 04:28 |
| acf | it needs to know where to install | 04:29 |
| Kamion | aitrus: 'splash' is a bit of a legacy which we've left there because we'll probably want it later | 04:29 |
| Kamion | aitrus: we do not do bootsplash currently | 04:29 |

| chutwig | if it doesn't involve 3 hours of staring at a terminal trying to figure out which module your network card works with, it seems easy to me | 04:55 |
| mdz | claviola: that's not the case at all. what gave you that impression? | 04:55 |
| crimsun | chutwig: you don't even have to mess with fonts in ubuntu. | 04:55 |
| claviola | JanneM: I thought it was just a set of developers that became frustrated with some of the shortcomings and decided to create a spinoff, which would've been cool. It is cool, but it's not an open process, unfortunately. | 04:55 |
| JanneM | claviola: you have a company as backer, just like for fedora, mandrake or suse | 04:55 |
| claviola | http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/view/591 | 04:55 |
| chutwig | crimsun: well, that's good | 04:55 |
| JanneM | claviola: well, I think that's exactly what happened | 04:55 |
| claviola | JanneM: read that | 04:56 |
| chutwig | i remember the heady days of running ttfmkdir and spending hours picking out the fonts it didn't like | 04:56 |
| JanneM | and the spinoff is in the form of a company | 04:56 |
| mdz | claviola: there is a *lot* of misinformation in that article | 04:56 |
| mdz | claviola: about Canonical, Ubuntu and Mar | 04:56 |
| mdz | Mark | 04:56 |
| claviola | mdz: no big deal. I'm just a bit disappointed, since I were expecting something that isn't what it is | 04:57 |
| mdz | claviola: Ubuntu is absolutely a community project with an open development process that is getting started now | 04:57 |
| claviola | I know. | 04:57 |
| stratus | but who's behind canonical ltd? mark? | 04:57 |
| JanneM | mark | 04:57 |
| JanneM | and the devels | 04:57 |
| claviola | yeah, that's the main thing for me. everything about this "canonical" seems shady. | 04:58 |
| claviola | there are no names anywhere. | 04:58 |
| stratus | the same for me. | 04:58 |
| acf | argh | 04:58 |
| acf | still error 18 | 04:58 |
| JanneM | huh? | 04:58 |
| acf | even after --force-lba | 04:58 |
| stratus | the canonical website is almost empty. | 04:58 |
| claviola | JanneM: if one were curious to know who is behind their favorite new gnu/linux distribution, they wouldn't be able to do so without extensive googling. | 04:59 |
| claviola | even a whois for canonical.com is devoid of information. | 04:59 |
| mdz | guys, we only publicised our existence 4 days ago. :-) | 04:59 |
| stratus | claviola, i didn't extensive googling to come with that url above that i paste to you. :) | 04:59 |
| mdz | the websites and other resources are still getting up to speed | 04:59 |
| subterrific | a company with an empty website is not shady | 04:59 |
| stratus | mdz, np i'm just curious. | 04:59 |
| crimsun | google _never_ lies, heh | 04:59 |
| guest | keep up the good work guys, night ... | 04:59 |
| subterrific | shady is some guy trying to sell you real estate over the phone | 04:59 |
| claviola | mdz: oh, 4 days? | 05:00 |
| stratus | subterrific, i didn't said shady, claviola did. | 05:00 |
| whiprush | I don't care if I know or not, I like the distro itself. | 05:00 |
| claviola | I thought I were way behind things, as usual | 05:00 |
| subterrific | stratus: then i wasn't talking to you | 05:00 |
| mdz | 2004-09-15 was our first public announcement to the community at large | 05:00 |
| stratus | subterrific, but i said 'empty website'. | 05:00 |
| JanneM | claviola: you have exacly the same situation with any smaller entity | 05:01 |
| claviola | subterrific: okay, okay, bad choice of words. "awkward". better? | 05:01 |
| claviola | everyone that I *know* now to be involved with the project is extremely trustworthy, though | 05:01 |
| JanneM | mm | 05:01 |
| claviola | so I only expect good things to come out of it | 05:01 |
| mdz | there are links for feedback at the bottom of both canonical.com and ubuntulinux.org, and the folks who are working hard on building the sites are interested in what information you would like to find there | 05:02 |
| subterrific | anyone who has started a small company knows that it takes time to create a full website | 05:02 |
| claviola | the emphasis should've been on "now". | 05:02 |
| JanneM | claviola: I agree that the canonical website could use a real presentation of the company | 05:02 |
| stratus | mdz, btw who's involved from south america? | 05:02 |
| claviola | subterrific: vi employees.html | 05:02 |
| mdz | stratus: a handful of folks in brazil | 05:02 |
| subterrific | i've been with a company for over a year and our website consists of one page with our logo | 05:02 |
| stratus | mdz, hmm brazil? sounds interesting... | 05:02 |
| subterrific | people are busy doing more important things | 05:02 |
| JanneM | claviola: except there are workplace and privcy rules regarding when and how and why to expose employees in promotional material | 05:02 |
| calc | ok current bk kernel still doesn't like my keyboard :\ | 05:02 |
| stratus | mdz, maybe i known them because i'm from Brazil. | 05:03 |
| claviola | stratus: sounds like we've been left out :-) | 05:03 |
| === calc will have to file a bug | ||
| stratus | claviola, yes. | 05:03 |
| claviola | heh. I'm not looking for a job though | 05:03 |
| JanneM | claviola: the moment you are a company, things start to become a little more involved | 05:03 |
| claviola | JanneM: SPI is a company. | 05:03 |
| claviola | in a way. | 05:03 |
| JanneM | spi? | 05:03 |
| mdz | there will be personal web pages and blogs and such for Canonical folks soon | 05:03 |
| claviola | software in the public interest, debian's umbrella non-profit organization. | 05:03 |
| whiprush | any idea when the -devel branch will open? After the warty release? | 05:04 |
| JanneM | ah | 05:04 |
| claviola | www.spi-inc.org | 05:04 |
| JanneM | well, they've had more time to get organized | 05:04 |
| claviola | sure. | 05:04 |
| mdz | whiprush: yes, probabyl after the release, though maybe slightly before | 05:04 |

| Dashiva | that's what i did | 05:16 |

| joker | hey, can anyone help me configure a wireless card, i just installed ubuntu and when i do iwconfig it says no wirelses extensions next to all the devices it lists | 05:30 |
| hornbeck | what kind of card | 05:31 |
| joker | its a pci linksys | 05:31 |
| punkass | well the xscreensaver seems to be sorta on and off too...doesnt always come on | 05:31 |
| mdz | punkass: dell laptop; did you run into the IRQ7 issue? (#1254) | 05:31 |
| hornbeck | joker: never messed with wireless pci | 05:31 |
| punkass | yeah, that disabled lpt fixed my sound and wireless | 05:32 |
| joker | neither have i, thats why im having some trouble | 05:32 |
| punkass | and when i closed the lid it would just stay black...fixed that by adding nolapic to grub | 05:32 |
| mdz | punkass: I'm trying to figure out how we can make that Just Work | 05:32 |
| mdz | punkass: so basically, the Dell BIOS assigns other devices to IRQ7, it seems? | 05:33 |
| mdz | punkass: does pci=noacpi help? | 05:33 |
| punkass | i tried apci=off that just made things worse | 05:33 |
| punkass | havent tried that one tho | 05:33 |
| punkass | see! bizarre...my lcd just turned off.. | 05:34 |
| hornbeck | what in acpi does not work? | 05:34 |
| tseng | dont do acpi=off that sucks | 05:34 |
| tseng | pci=noacpi fixes it here | 05:34 |
| punkass | fixes which one? | 05:34 |
| tseng | 1254 | 05:34 |
| mdz | tseng: could you add a note to the bug to that effect? | 05:35 |
| tseng | yes | 05:35 |
| punkass | ah..ok well that one seems fine now...i disabled lpt in my bios | 05:35 |
| hornbeck | I just disabled the parellel port | 05:35 |
| mdz | thanks | 05:35 |
| mdz | maybe we should default pci=noacpi on these BIOSes | 05:35 |
| mdz | they really shouldn't assign things to irq7 | 05:35 |
| punkass | i am just trying to find out if there is different settings for when the laptop is plugged/unplugged for how long it takes for the screen to turn off | 05:36 |
| punkass | hmm but now it seems to be fine..bizarre.. | 05:36 |
| punkass | nolapic also fixed my acpi_power_down called problem | 05:37 |
| mdz | punkass: yes, there are | 05:37 |
| punkass | where it wouldnt shutdown all the way | 05:37 |
| mdz | the default is 2 minutes on battery, 10 minutes on AC | 05:37 |
| punkass | ah..where is that? | 05:37 |
| mdz | /etc/acpi/power.sh, of all places | 05:37 |
| punkass | lol i was just there....how did i miss that | 05:38 |

| joker | one more easier question, how and where do you set the root password? | 05:39 |
| mdz | chutwig: to provide a free, open, technically excellent operating system with a well-integrated and usable desktop environment | 05:39 |
| mdz | joker: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/helpcenterfaq.2004-09-15.5722653677/faq_view | 05:40 |
| chutwig | well, yeah | 05:40 |
| hornbeck | joker: no root passwor | 05:40 |
| hornbeck | just use sudo | 05:40 |
| Wsquared | punkass: Thanks for you help with the nvidia driver. It is now working, and Tux is smoothly sliding down the slopes in tuxracer. | 05:40 |
| joker | how do you use apt-get with sudo? | 05:40 |
| punkass | mdz: i dont see them in there (power.sh) | 05:40 |
| chutwig | i meant is ubuntu going to have anything specific that distinguishes it, like special configuration utilities or any of that jazz | 05:40 |
| mdz | punkass: the 'xset dpms' commands | 05:40 |
| punkass | Wsquared: no prob | 05:40 |
| subterrific | joker: sudo su - | 05:40 |
| hornbeck | sudo apt-get install | 05:40 |
| subterrific | sudo su - will give you a root term | 05:40 |
| subterrific | without enabling root | 05:40 |
| subterrific | its very sexy | 05:41 |
| claviola | sudo -s, folks. | 05:41 |
| claviola | jesus. | 05:41 |
| punkass | ah the numbers at the end are seconds? | 05:41 |
| mdz | chutwig: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/ attempts to explain some of that | 05:41 |
| chutwig | it's definitely a lot safer to disable root | 05:41 |
| subterrific | sudo su - | 05:41 |
| subterrific | is better | 05:41 |
| joker | it asks for a password when i do sudo su | 05:41 |
| claviola | -s The -s (shell) option runs the shell specified by the SHELL environment variable if it is set or the shell as specified in | 05:41 |
| claviola | passwd(5). | 05:41 |
| claviola | joker: "sudo -s". | 05:41 |
| chutwig | joker: that's your user password | 05:41 |
| subterrific | joker: type in your password | 05:41 |
| chutwig | OS X comes with the root account disabled, so i got used to sudo'ing for everything | 05:41 |
| joker | nice | 05:41 |
| joker | i see | 05:42 |
| subterrific | claviola: sudo su - is better than sudo -s because you get the root's environment | 05:42 |
| claviola | subterrific: it does the same, actually. | 05:42 |
| subterrific | normal user might not have certain things in their PATH like /sbin | 05:42 |
| mdz | the only bit of root's environment that I generally want is HOME | 05:42 |
| mdz | i.e., sudo -s -H | 05:42 |
| mdz | subterrific: in Ubuntu, sbin is always in the PATH :-) | 05:42 |
| chutwig | how about /usr/local/bin | 05:42 |
| mdz | likewise | 05:43 |
| chutwig | thank god | 05:43 |
| claviola | oh, nm. | 05:43 |
| Kamion | /usr/local/bin should be in $PATH in any sane distribution | 05:43 |
| chutwig | debian laughed at my futile efforts to convince bash to add it to my path | 05:43 |
| Kamion | chutwig: uh, it's in the default $PATH in Debian too | 05:44 |
| Kamion | $ grep local /etc/profile | 05:44 |
| Kamion | PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games" | 05:44 |
| punkass | well if these lcd shut off works then i think all is well | 05:44 |
| chutwig | Kamion: er, i'm thinking of the sbin directories | 05:44 |
| Kamion | ah yes | 05:44 |
| punkass | had to use the radeontool for the lid operation tho.. | 05:44 |
| punkass | which actually works pretty good | 05:44 |
| Kamion | well, it shouldn't be necessary to have sbin in a mortal user's $PATH; we did it at least partially as a stopgap measure, I think | 05:45 |
| punkass | but isnt things like ifconfig in /sbin | 05:45 |
| Kamion | I don't think we should cease efforts to make /bin+/usr/bin be sensible | 05:45 |
| claviola | I don't know why not have /sbin and /usr/sbin in the path. | 05:45 |
| mdz | we did it because the distinction is not sanely implemented in modern unices | 05:45 |
| chutwig | yeah, i mostly got annoyed having to type /sbin/ifconfig over and over again | 05:45 |
| mdz | maybe that will change and we won't need it anymore | 05:46 |
| punkass | chutwig: i hear that | 05:46 |
| claviola | I remember flamewars about moving traceroute out of /usr/sbin, so it's unlikely. | 05:46 |
| claviola | maybe in ubuntu, though. | 05:46 |
| chutwig | i'm so used to BSD device names now | 05:46 |
| Kamion | claviola: that was a single maintainer ... | 05:46 |
| chutwig | i forgot eth0 wasn't named en0 | 05:46 |
| ponds | chutwig | 05:46 |
| Kamion | the FHS is very clear about how the world should be; it's just that the world isn't that way yet | 05:46 |
| chutwig | sup ponds | 05:46 |
| Kamion | Deciding what things go into "sbin" directories is simple: If a normal | 05:46 |
| Kamion | (not a system administrator) user will ever run it directly, then it | 05:46 |
| Kamion | should be placed in one of the "bin" directories. Ordinary users should | 05:46 |
| Kamion | not have to place any of the sbin directories in their path. | 05:46 |
| ponds | hows it going | 05:46 |
| Kamion | I note that ip(8) is in /bin | 05:46 |
| chutwig | oh fine, ubuntu is slowly installing on my crapbox | 05:47 |
| mdz | yes, and getting into the habit of using ip(8) is a good idea anyway | 05:47 |

| doobie | Whats up all | 05:50 |
| punkass | ah | 05:51 |
| chutwig | plus the linux machine is really just a computer to mess around with, i don't use it for anything serious, so it's not really worth investing money into | 05:51 |
| chutwig | and what are you going to do to a P2-266 anyway, there's not much that can be done for it now | 05:51 |
| punkass | yeah thats why i like switching drives..cuz then i get to use my main comp for linux too | 05:51 |
| punkass | lol true | 05:51 |
| chutwig | personally i prefer to keep the mac sacrosanct and away from what i mess around with | 05:52 |
| chutwig | just so i can be sure that i always have a working computer | 05:52 |
| punkass | yeah...side of my case is open...always unplug my ide from working drive :) | 05:52 |
| chutwig | that computer running linux is hardcore | 05:53 |
| chutwig | 440LX power | 05:53 |
| punkass | hehe | 05:54 |
| chutwig | i had to put in a separate IDE controller for the hard drive because the onboard one had a tendency to flip out and send the hard drive into endless power-save cycles | 05:54 |
| punkass | lol nice | 05:54 |
| chutwig | got woken up at 8 in the morning by the computer rattling and going clunk clank clunk clank clunk clank | 05:54 |
| Se7h | lolol | 05:55 |
| punkass | chutwig: arnt most people up at 8 in the morning ;) | 05:55 |
| chutwig | i'm on college time | 05:55 |

| punkass | 10 oclock classes | 05:55 |
| chutwig | i have a 9:50 this semester twice a week, it's brutal | 05:56 |
| === m_tthew [matt@iorek.ice-nine.org] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| chutwig | i skip it half the time anyway | 05:56 |
| punkass | eww i had a 8:30 last semseter...it was evil | 05:56 |
| chutwig | in exchange for the 9:50 i managed to get two days off each week | 05:56 |
| Se7h | ?- class at 1pm | 05:57 |
| Se7h | :) | 05:57 |
| calc | 9:50 early? | 05:57 |
| chutwig | i really need to find a job because otherwise i'm going to go insane from boredom | 05:57 |
| calc | iirc i had 7am classes at one point | 05:57 |
| punkass | mdz: so the lcd shut off does not seem to be working now | 05:57 |
| chutwig | when i worked during the summer 9:50 would have been astonishingly late | 05:57 |
| ponds | i have 8 am classes :( | 05:57 |
| chutwig | it's funny, during the summer i get up early and then when i come back to school i start getting up late again | 05:57 |
| calc | 8am classes were normal for me, was done with the day usually by 1-2pm | 05:57 |
| chutwig | i'm done by 6 monday and wednesday and at 7 on thursday | 05:58 |
| chutwig | evening classes are okay with me, the night classes i had last semester made me want to kill myself, though | 05:58 |
| punkass | i had an evil 5:20-9:30 class (nite) | 05:58 |
| punkass | by the end i was falling asleep | 05:58 |
| chutwig | my longest class is the 4:30-7:10 grad class i have once a week on thursday | 05:58 |
| calc | night classes are sometimes better since some instructors seem to go easier on working adults | 05:59 |
| chutwig | i hated the subject material as well, so that didn't help | 05:59 |
| chutwig | but this grad class i have this semester is an interesting class, plus it's on the history of the german language and i'm the only linguist in there, so i have an advantage over everyone else | 05:59 |
| chutwig | so it's a nice way to end the week | 05:59 |

| MrPiddles | I just wanna get it to have 2d and 3d in here. | 06:20 |

| MrPiddles | I did get 3d in slack but I don't care about slack I care about ubuntu xD. | 06:20 |

| pills_ | letme get url | 06:24 |
| pills_ | it was on ubuntulinux.com | 06:24 |
| Roxim | I have recently installed the Ubuntu packaged nvidia drivers, and changed my Xconfig file to use them, but when I try to change resolutions, there is only 640x480 and 800x600. I have a GForce 4 MX 440, so it should go higher. Anyone know how to bump up the res.? | 06:24 |
| pills_ | oh hmmm....netboot install | 06:25 |
| punkass | Roxim: check your XF86config file | 06:25 |
| pills_ | http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/howto/helpcenterhowto.2004-09-15.0100531885 | 06:25 |
| punkass | if you see "800x600" "640x480" | 06:26 |
| punkass | just make it look like "1024x768" "800....etc | 06:26 |
| punkass | then restart X server Ctrl-Alt-Backspace | 06:27 |
| Roxim | punkass: I have read through the file, and it lists from 1280x1024 to 640x480 | 06:27 |
| chutwig | sigh | 06:29 |
| chutwig | now i have like 40 half-installed packages and not even purging them will remove them | 06:29 |
| punkass | on all lines? | 06:30 |
| punkass | i mean mulitple lines? | 06:30 |
| chutwig | it is completely and totally stuck | 06:31 |
| chutwig | because they got corrupted when the hard drive wigged out | 06:31 |
| chutwig | so the removal scripts are corrupted | 06:31 |
| punkass | doh | 06:31 |
| Roxim | yeah | 06:31 |
| punkass | hmm ok | 06:31 |
| chutwig | and i thought i was onto the solution when dpkg said it was going to use the scripts from the packages on the CD | 06:31 |
| chutwig | but obviously not because it still freaked | 06:31 |
| punkass | Computer > System Config > Screen Res only give you two options? | 06:32 |
| chutwig | oh what a ridiculous mess | 06:32 |
| Roxim | yeah, and only one option under refresh rate | 06:32 |
| punkass | i take it you have loaded the nvidia module? | 06:32 |
| Roxim | I downloaded the package, and changed my Xconfig to use nvidia as the driver | 06:33 |
| punkass | the nvidia-glx package? | 06:33 |
| Roxim | yeah | 06:33 |
| punkass | ok you need to add nvidia to /etc/modules | 06:33 |
| punkass | then try a reboot | 06:34 |
| fabbione | no need to reboot | 06:34 |
| fabbione | just modprobe nvidia | 06:34 |
| fabbione | and restart X | 06:34 |
| punkass | and restart X server | 06:34 |
| punkass | i say reboot..cuz when i tried to restart X it didnt load the nvidia drivers properly | 06:34 |
| punkass | say = said | 06:35 |
| punkass | tho i am not sure how u got back into gnome without haveing the module loaded | 06:35 |
| fabbione | punkass: that's why i wrote "modprobe nvidia" first | 06:35 |
| punkass | yeah thats what i did | 06:36 |
| fabbione | you need to stop/start gdm | 06:36 |
| fabbione | or whatever login manager you use | 06:36 |
| fabbione | a restart will not work | 06:36 |
| punkass | ah...cuz ctl-alt-backspace wont do that | 06:36 |
| fabbione | nope | 06:36 |
| punkass | that would have done it then | 06:36 |
| Roxim | so, do I just need to execute "modprobe nvidia" then restart gdm? | 06:36 |
| fabbione | that kills X server but doesn't reload the config | 06:36 |
| fabbione | Roxim: yes. /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 06:37 |
| fabbione | and | 06:37 |
| fabbione | Roxim: /etc/init.d/gdm start | 06:37 |

| Wsquared | Hey, is there a CD burner installed with ubuntu? | 06:38 |
| punkass | part of natulius | 06:39 |
| Wsquared | I don't see one in the Applications menu. | 06:39 |
| punkass | it doesnt do music..but can do isos and data | 06:39 |
| fabbione | punkass: as soon as I can: a) upload X ubuntu19 to fix a bunch of bugs 2) fix the nvidia-glx-config script to config/deconfig the nvidia binary driver 3) someone will donate me an amd64 with an nvidia card to test it | 06:39 |
| fabbione | (kidding about point 3) | 06:40 |
| punkass | if you put in a blank cd i believe it will open up a window where u can drag files to | 06:40 |
| punkass | haha | 06:40 |
| punkass | ok cool..just a buddy of mine wants to installed ubuntu on his amd64 and wants his nvidia card goin | 06:40 |
| chutwig | looks like i'll have to reinstall tomorrow | 06:40 |
| chutwig | dpkg seems entirely unable to resolve this problem | 06:40 |
| fabbione | chutwig: which problem? | 06:41 |
| fabbione | dpkg is not meant to solve problems.. | 06:41 |
| fabbione | apt-get is | 06:41 |
| punkass | apt-get -f install | 06:41 |
| chutwig | fabbione: the one where the hard drive controller blew up halfway through the install and a lot of packages got corrupted in the middle of installing | 06:41 |
| chutwig | apt-get just farted around and didn't fix anything | 06:41 |
| fabbione | chutwig: oh.. hmmmmm | 06:42 |
| chutwig | so i have about 20 bum packages that are stuck and can't be purged | 06:42 |
| fabbione | chutwig: the easiest is to reinstall | 06:42 |
| fabbione | the funny part would eb to solve the problem | 06:42 |
| chutwig | that's the plan | 06:42 |
| punkass | fabbione: would he run into troubles if he wants to install the driver from nvidia site? | 06:42 |
| chutwig | you'd think purging would overrule everything, but apparently not | 06:43 |
| fabbione | punkass: no, i use the same package to build our nvidia driver, but there is no point in it... | 06:43 |
| punkass | just needs kernel source/headers? | 06:43 |
| fabbione | oh well yeah there might be problems | 06:43 |
| fabbione | punkass: i used to build the driver myself | 06:43 |
| fabbione | but than i noticed a bunch of problems related to libraries | 06:44 |
| fabbione | that a normal user will never see | 06:44 |
| punkass | oh..so u r going to have them up pretty quick then (day or so)? | 06:44 |
| fabbione | like some packages that will start to fail to build from sources | 06:44 |
| punkass | ah | 06:44 |
| fabbione | punkass: ??? | 06:44 |
| fabbione | pretty quickly what? | 06:44 |
| punkass | the glx package | 06:44 |
| fabbione | there are glx packages for i386 | 06:44 |
| punkass | for amd64 | 06:44 |
| fabbione | if you are talking about amd64, no.. they won't be quick | 06:44 |
| punkass | thats why i was wondering about him building it himself from the nvidia site drivers | 06:45 |
| fabbione | they can install from the nvidia site | 06:45 |
| burnboy | hrm..so is there any special way to upgrade the kernel for ubuntu? | 06:45 |
| fabbione | and remove them later | 06:45 |
| punkass | ok cool | 06:45 |
| fabbione | punkass: what i don't understand is this fever about the nvidia binary drivers | 06:45 |
| fabbione | they only have 3D | 06:45 |
| punkass | games.. | 06:46 |
| punkass | unreal etc | 06:46 |
| fabbione | yeah well.. in that case most of these guys won't need to build Xfree86 or pyopengl from sources | 06:46 |
| fabbione | so there is no real harm in them to install from the nvidia site and upgrade later | 06:46 |
| punkass | ok | 06:46 |
| punkass | i know the nvidia installer is pretty staight forward | 06:47 |
| fabbione | yeah but it messes a lot with the system if you don't know how to use it in advanced option | 06:47 |
| fabbione | specially the TLS library part | 06:47 |
| punkass | ah | 06:47 |
| fabbione | s/option/mode | 06:48 |
| punkass | he said he had a max res at 1024 too and a big black border around the screen..so i thought the official drivers would help | 06:48 |
| dieman | ok, so that nvidia-glx-config script isn't in the archive yet? | 06:49 |
| dieman | what does it do? | 06:49 |
| fabbione | dieman: no, not yet.. | 06:49 |
| dieman | or i guess my mirror might not have it yet | 06:49 |
| dieman | ok | 06:49 |
| dieman | could you summarize what it does? | 06:49 |
| fabbione | dieman: it reconfigure X and load teh nvidia module properly | 06:49 |
| fabbione | nothing impressing really :-9 | 06:50 |
| fabbione | ok i am back to fix some stuff | 06:50 |
| dieman | does it end up modifying the links for gl libs and glx modules? | 06:50 |
| dieman | or is that doen by the package | 06:50 |
| dieman | ? | 06:50 |
| fabbione | punkass: point him to http://people.no-name-yet.com/~fabbione/nv/amd64 | 06:50 |
| dieman | or does it merely just change nv to nvidia in the config? | 06:50 |
| fabbione | punkass: and tell him to stick these 2 files in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ | 06:50 |
| fabbione | dieman: they are like the nvidia packages in debian. + they have the simple config script to enable/disable the nvidia binary driver | 06:51 |
| fabbione | both for X and the kernel | 06:51 |
| dieman | if its just changing the debconf answers, good -- doesn't break my method of just changing the discover1-data for nvidia cards to be able to use the binary drivers. | 06:51 |
| punkass | ok will do..hes not around right now but ill tell him when he is | 06:51 |
| fabbione | dieman: yes it preseed debconf and rebuild the config | 06:52 |
| dieman | ok | 06:52 |
| dieman | cool | 06:52 |
| dieman | thanks | 06:52 |
| fabbione | dieman: no s/nv/nvidia/ or strange stuff | 06:52 |
| dieman | still need to worry about not installing nvidia-glx on non-nvidia boxes, but thats no huge deal | 06:52 |
| dieman | i just handle that with cfengine at the moment. | 06:52 |

| Roxim | punkass: I ran "modprobe nvidia", rebooted for safety, and the Xserver was broken. I switched to vesa. the log complained about the module not being loaded when it broke. How would I go about loading the module? | 07:01 |
| punkass | did u edit /etc/modules | 07:03 |
| punkass | just add nvidia to the bottom of /etc/modules | 07:03 |
| Roxim | Exact errors as follows...:(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! | 07:03 |
| Roxim | (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***; (WW) Warning, couldn't open module GLcore | 07:03 |
| Roxim | ok | 07:03 |
| punkass | that will make it load on bootup | 07:03 |
| subterrific | modprobe nvidia will load it until reboot | 07:04 |
| punkass | and remember to change back to "nvidia" from vesa | 07:04 |
| subterrific | you need to add it to /etc/modules if you want it loaded at boot time | 07:04 |

| subterrific | jmhodges: i found it useful to go into Preferences->Repositories in Synaptic and turn on the repositories that have universe in the sections. | 07:12 |
| jmhodges | subterrific: ah, good idea | 07:12 |
| subterrific | gives you a lot more packages to choose from | 07:12 |
| subterrific | what i did was turn off the 1st and 2nd repos and turn on 3rd and 4th | 07:12 |

| subterrific | yeah, and gnome is really starting to show some polish | 07:20 |
| jmhodges | heh, right refresh | 07:20 |
| jmhodges | subterrific: very much so | 07:20 |
| jmhodges | subterrific: i've been playing with gnome 2.7 for a few months, and it just kept getting faster and more complete | 07:21 |
| subterrific | when i switched from mac os x to gentoo i went with kde, but about 6 months into using kde, i got tired of plastik and started looking for nicer themes, but everything was for gtk, so i tried gnome one day and never went back to kde | 07:24 |
| jmhodges | hehe | 07:24 |
| subterrific | oh, and i was doing some python development at the time, and i wanted to make a simple cross-platform gui and Qt/Win isn't free | 07:25 |
| jmhodges | wow, i'm not used to having a system without gcc in the base install heh | 07:25 |
| subterrific | so i went with PyGTK for that too | 07:25 |
| jmhodges | subterrific: nice | 07:25 |
| subterrific | actually, i used wxPython, which uses GTK | 07:25 |
| subterrific | jmhodges: yeah, i think its for security and because ubuntu is more of a desktop OS | 07:26 |
| jmhodges | yeah, and thats what i figured | 07:26 |
| jmhodges | i've been using src based distros for something like 3-4 years | 07:26 |
| jmhodges | heh | 07:26 |
| subterrific | yeah i really like gentoo, you need a fast machine for it though | 07:27 |
| subterrific | or a bunch of machines running distcc | 07:27 |
| jmhodges | hehe, i never did get around to playing with gentoo but the experiences i've had with src based taught me a ton.. | 07:28 |
| jmhodges | subterrific: definitely a lot of waiting for things to be installed | 07:28 |
| calc | LFS is probably better to learn from | 07:28 |
| jmhodges | evolution and mozilla compiles are not things you want to see :) | 07:29 |
| subterrific | yeah, i run it on my athlon64, which is a beast when it comes to compiling code | 07:29 |
| jmhodges | calc: well true, but i was a linux newb going into them.. there was a certain level i couldn't breach :) | 07:29 |

| calc | ok :) | 07:29 |
| bur[n] er | anyone try using ubuntu sources to apt-get from with a debian install? | 07:29 |

| plovs_ | is there some sort of a hardware database? | 09:37 |
| bur[n] er | wtf is pmount? | 09:37 |
| pitti | plovs_: as long it's a normal USB stick with a common file system, it should work | 09:37 |
| plovs_ | bur[n] er, pmount is like mount but you don't have to be root and is nicer to use | 09:37 |
| pitti | plovs_: did you install the preview from scratch or did you upgrade? | 09:37 |
| bur[n] er | huh, i'm intrigued | 09:38 |
| plovs_ | preview from scratch, and updated 5 minutes ago | 09:38 |
| subterrific | bur[n] er: pmount is for mounting removable media with hal | 09:38 |
| bur[n] er | next questino... why didnt ubuntu see my fat32 partition and put it in my 'computer' area? | 09:38 |
| pitti | bur[n] er: yep, this pmount is better than letting hal run as root and have it mess up fstab | 09:38 |
| pitti | bur[n] er: we currently don't automatically mount partitions from fixed discs | 09:38 |
| pitti | bur[n] er: we should certainly do that at least for VFAT/NTFS partitions | 09:39 |
| bur[n] er | it doesnt' ven show up that i can mount it though | 09:39 |
| pitti | bur[n] er: I already submitted a bug about this | 09:39 |
| bur[n] er | well good :) | 09:39 |
| pitti | plovs_: are you in group plugdev? | 09:39 |
| pitti | plovs_: what do you mean with "works ok"? Can you pmount it? | 09:40 |
| plovs_ | pitti, yes, plovs and hal are | 09:40 |
| pitti | plovs_: if you do pmount /dev/sda1 (or so), does it work? | 09:40 |
| plovs_ | pitti, pmount /dev/sda usb-key works, yes | 09:40 |
| pitti | plovs_: ah, you don't have partitions on that thing? | 09:41 |
| plovs_ | pitti, whith another key pmount /dev/sda1 usb-key, works | 09:41 |
| pitti | plovs_: this is a known bug in hal, it cannot detect partitionless volumes | 09:41 |

| pitti | plovs_: bad. Can you please pull it out, open the Device Manager, plug it back in and see what happens? | 09:42 |
| plovs_ | so it's not *really* a problem, it just would be nice, I mean if windows can do it, we should do better | 09:43 |
| plovs_ | pitti, which one? | 09:43 |
| === Greensky [~nin@216-161-80-213.ptld.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Greensky | is there a ubuntu forum? | 09:43 |
| victorhooi | Sorry, just a quick question: how do I get ubuntu to boot to command line rather than x (without removing xdm, which all the posts on the net seem to say to do) - need to do this to install vmware-tools. | 09:43 |
| plovs_ | sda or sda1 | 09:43 |
| victorhooi | Thanks in advance =). | 09:43 |
| pitti | plovs_: just try both. | 09:43 |
| pitti | plovs_: with sda1, there should appear a new "Volume" node in DevManager | 09:44 |
| Greensky | victorhooi, look in /etc/inittab | 09:44 |
| Greensky | victorhooi, (this is how you do it in most linux distros) | 09:44 |
| victorhooi | yeah, i know that for redhat based distros (rh, fedora, mandrake) etc. | 09:44 |
| victorhooi | runlevel 5 is x | 09:44 |
| Greensky | victorhooi, look for a line like: "id:5:initdefault:" | 09:44 |
| victorhooi | but debian is different | 09:44 |
| victorhooi | (not even like Slackware, which is BSD-based) | 09:44 |
| Greensky | oh... sorry | 09:44 |
| fabbione | victorhooi: you can either edit /etc/init.d/xdm | 09:44 |
| fabbione | and put a exit 0 at the second line | 09:44 |
| plovs_ | pitti, pull sda out, dissapears, put back in, light blinks, appears (like magic!) in the device-manager | 09:44 |
| fabbione | victorhooi: or check upgrade-rc.d man page to remove xdm from starting | 09:45 |
| victorhooi | yeah, I know I tried that (read it on mailing list archive =) ), | 09:45 |
| Greensky | is there an ubuntu forum yet or just a wiki? | 09:45 |
| pitti | plovs_: the device itself should appear, but as long as it does not have a "Volume" node, gnome does not see it | 09:45 |
| victorhooi | fabbione: unfortunately, it flashes, and starts up gdm (arrgh, refuses to die *grin*) | 09:45 |
| pitti | plovs_: if you plug in the other USB stick (with partition), does it have a "Volume" node? | 09:45 |
| fabbione | victorhooi: disable both :-) | 09:45 |
| subterrific | what is the proper way to unmount a volume that has been mounted by hal? just umount? | 09:46 |
| plovs_ | pitti, it does have a volume node called TS256MJF2L | 09:46 |
| Greensky | victorhooi, I'de look for whatever tells gdm to start at boot (unfortunately I use fedora/gentoo so I dono bout debian) | 09:46 |
| pitti | plovs_: this is the label? | 09:46 |
| mdz | victorhooi: in Debian-based systems, runlevel 1 is single-user and 2-5 are multi-user. 2-5 are identical by default, and can be customised by the admin | 09:46 |
| pitti | plovs_: the node in the left tree should be called "Volume" | 09:46 |
| victorhooi | fabbione: cheers, I'll try reading the upgrade-rc.d man page - just sub in gdm for gdm | 09:46 |
| pills | when i try and do a make install for ndiswrapper i get /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-2-386/build not found...do i need to have the source installed? | 09:46 |
| pitti | plovs_: if you click on it and select the advanced tab, can you please look for block.is_volume? | 09:47 |
| victorhooi | mdz: thanks, good to see diff. ways of doing things (IMHO prefer Slackware's BSD style) | 09:47 |
| pitti | plovs_: and block.device? | 09:47 |
| subterrific | too many people with names starting with p[il] | 09:47 |
| subterrific | getting confusing | 09:47 |
| mdz | victorhooi: if you like that style, look at the file-rc package in universe | 09:47 |
| plovs_ | pitti, block.is_volum int 0, block.device /dev/sda | 09:48 |
| pitti | plovs_: that's the problem. is_volume must be 1 to recognize it as a mountable thingy | 09:48 |
| pitti | plovs_: same thing for sda1? | 09:48 |
| plovs_ | pitti, let me try | 09:48 |
| plovs_ | pitti, IT OPENED A WINDOW! what did you do to my computer! | 09:50 |
| pitti | plovs_: black magic... | 09:50 |
| pitti | plovs_: close it again immediately, before it gets cold :-) | 09:50 |
| plovs_ | pitti, very weird ... | 09:50 |
| pitti | plovs_: so only the partitionless stick is not recognized? | 09:50 |
| plovs_ | pitti, I unmounted it, pulled it out, put it back in and after a minute it appears, where does the time-out come from? | 09:51 |
| pitti | plovs_: a _minute_? | 09:52 |
| plovs_ | pitti, the partition-less one does not work | 09:52 |
| pitti | plovs_: that should be some seconds | 09:52 |
| pitti | plovs_: partitionless is a known bug | 09:52 |
| bur[n] er | any plans for a fancy grub menu and a bootsplash in next release?? | 09:52 |
| plovs_ | pitti, well, It might be 10 seconds or so ... it feels like a minute though :) | 09:52 |
| plovs_ | pitti, maybe 5 seconds | 09:52 |
| pitti | plovs_: 5 seconds is reasonable | 09:53 |
| pitti | plovs_: this USB magic cannot be made much faster | 09:53 |
| plovs_ | pitti, so I just make a partition whith fdisk or so? | 09:53 |
| pitti | plovs_: if you want to have it mounted automatically, this is a good idea | 09:53 |
| pitti | plovs_: also, older windows version do not get along without partitions, so it is really a good idea | 09:54 |
| plovs_ | pitti, why not on XP it is pretty fast (not that I like XP, but it shows it is technically possible) The second one is usb1, though | 09:54 |
| pitti | plovs_: yes, it works on XP | 09:54 |
| pitti | plovs_: but not on 98, don't know about 2000 | 09:54 |
| plovs_ | pitti, you're the MAN (I suppose)! | 09:54 |
| plovs_ | pitti, I'll make partitions and report back | 09:55 |
| pitti | plovs_: well, one partition should usually be enough :-) | 09:56 |
| victorhooi | fabbione: errr, slight prob. | 09:56 |
| victorhooi | fabbione: man upgrade-rc.d returns null | 09:56 |
| plovs_ | pitti, should I make partitions with XP or linux? | 09:56 |
| pitti | plovs_: that really does not make any difference | 09:56 |
| victorhooi | fabbione: locate doesn't seem to find any upgrade-rc.d script | 09:56 |
| pitti | plovs_: cfdisk /dev/sda is certainly fine | 09:57 |
| fabbione | man update-rc.d | 09:57 |
| pitti | plovs_: although all partitioning programs may get confused by the data that is already on the stick, when they try to interpret it as a partition table | 09:57 |
| fabbione | the script has to be execute with sudo | 09:57 |
| pitti | plovs_: just tell me if it does not work | 09:57 |
| fabbione | sorry.. upgrade <- update | 09:57 |
| subterrific | yikes | 10:00 |
| subterrific | my usb mouse just stopped working | 10:00 |
| subterrific | i was copying files from a usb drive and it gave me an error | 10:00 |
| victorhooi | fabbione: found the man page =). Sorry, but I'm kinda lost now...can you remeber the exact command to boot to command line rather than x? | 10:01 |
| fabbione | victorhooi: as i wrote before.. you need to disable X to startup. ubuntu/debian do not have a specific runlevel to disable X | 10:05 |
| pills | anybody successfully install ndiswrapper on ubuntu yet? | 10:08 |

| victorhooi | that's very reassuring =). | 10:11 |
| victorhooi | is there a safer way you could recommend? | 10:11 |
| fabbione | it is safe.. the "be careful" is related to the fact that the values there are ok for gdm only | 10:12 |

| plovs_ | pitti, it is finally done, first I erased the partition-table by creating a file-system: mkfs.fat32 -I /dev/sda, then I created /dev/sda1, then I created a filesystem on sda1, now it works. It even automounts, in about ten seconds | 10:31 |
| pitti | plovs_: great | 10:32 |
| pitti | plovs_: ten seconds is still very long, on my box it usually lasts 5 | 10:33 |
| pitti | plovs_: btw, creating a fs on /dev/sda is not exactly necessary | 10:33 |
| plovs_ | pitti, I used that to erase the existing table, fdisk complained about having to reboot, and then after rebooting I could not make a filesystem. Anyway, now it works. | 10:36 |
| pitti | plovs_: ah. I usually clean a device by dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 :-) | 10:36 |
| pitti | plovs_: but if it works, its fine | 10:37 |
| === MrPiddles [~tonito@adsl-065-006-207-248.sip.mia.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| plovs_ | pitti, I have a superstitious fear of dd after I made a typo with it once ... | 10:37 |
| plovs_ | pitti, will you put an icon on the desktop or something somewhere for automounted devices? | 10:38 |
| plovs_ | pitti, it kind of a pain to umount | 10:38 |
| MrPiddles | Well I tried all methods of instlaling the ati drivers even in source with the kernel source or the headers or deb packages. Same result everytime. Can't load fglrx module and DRI keeps wondering off about /dev/card0/dri. Anyone has this problem? | 10:38 |
| pitti | plovs_: https://bugzilla.ubuntulinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=980 | 10:38 |
| pitti | plovs_: but just ripping the stick out usually works | 10:39 |
| pitti | plovs_: usually = if no application accesses it any more | 10:39 |
| MrPiddles | As of now I have no direct rendering but I do have acceleration with the ati drivers. Radeon 9600 pro. Any luck anyone to get them to direct render? | 10:39 |
| plovs_ | pitti, oooh, that is higher voodoo! must try | 10:39 |
| pitti | plovs_: it is, but we added that possibility since many users will do that anyway | 10:40 |
| rburton | does ubuntu need to install dm/lvm/etc if i didn't create any lvm partitions on install? | 10:40 |

| === rburton dislikes unused modules/services | ||
| jdub | they're part of base | 10:40 |
| jdub | but they shouldn't run | 10:40 |
| jdub | we need to detect whether they're required | 10:40 |
| jdub | the rationale is that install consistency is pretty important | 10:41 |
| jdub | so you can rely on stuff being there | 10:41 |
| jdub | i'm still leaning towards that | 10:41 |
| rburton | hm, fair enough | 10:41 |
| rburton | detected and not running would be good | 10:42 |
| jdub | so some of these things could (quickly!) detect whether they need to even exectue | 10:42 |
| jdub | such as mdstat | 10:42 |
| plovs_ | pitti, unbelievable, it actually works, good that you added sync as a mount option, now how about the name sda1, how to call it MYCOOLUSBKEYTHATAUTOMOUNTSINLINUX | 10:42 |
| rburton | btw, i can't shutdown my ubuntu box -- it hangs on Deconfiguring network interfaces | 10:42 |
| jdub | "grep -q ^md /proc/mdstat" might even be the right answer to that | 10:42 |
| pitti | plovs_: this is a hoary issue | 10:42 |
| jdub | but i'm not sure if you can give idiotic names to md devices yet :) | 10:42 |
| pitti | plovs_: pmount already supports it: pmount /dev/sda1 MYFUCKINGUSBSTICK | 10:43 |
| pitti | plovs_: but actually managing these labels in a database/on the device really is a hoary thing | 10:43 |
| pitti | plovs_: but we know about this | 10:43 |
| MacPlusG3 | you can actually start up all your services in the background (instead of serially) | 10:43 |
| MacPlusG3 | which can improve things | 10:44 |
| plovs_ | pitti, I *really* enjoy ubuntu so far, thanks a million, how many hours do we still have to wait for hoary? :) thanks one again. | 10:45 |

| froh_ | i am forced to run 2.4 kernel because of latencyproblems with audiorecording | 01:33 |
| ggi | While I'm bitching about things, is universe not updated to include packages introduced after taking the snapshot of Debian's main? For instance, I think the freepats package is pretty useful to bundle with timidity, but it's not Ubuntu. | 01:35 |

| rsacherer | I am really happy with ubuntu linux! ;-) it's quite a nice distribution which cleanly builds on top of debian and i like the feeling, the installation was not that smotheless (i was left was a terminal login without x-windows - gnome installed, but hey, i could handle it) ;-) | 01:44 |

| rsacherer | i want to contribute to some FAQ's and if it's possible to contribute to the ubuntu linux system also, is there a howto on getting a contributor? :-) | 01:44 |
| pitti | jamesh: since this is my first real gnome hacking, jdub wants to have a second look from a gnome phreak before approval; | 01:44 |
| pitti | jamesh: do you happen to have a minute for that? | 01:45 |

| rsacherer | ggi and there are also no development packages? i found a bug fixed filed against something for x.org in the buglist | 01:47 |
| rsacherer | s/fixed/fix/g | 01:47 |
| Mithrandir | seb128: g_log (LM_LOG_DOMAIN, LM_LOG_LEVEL_NET, "\nRECV [%d] :\n", | 01:48 |
| Mithrandir | how can I make sure I see that message? | 01:48 |
| seb128 | Mithrandir: g_log_default_handler () | 01:48 |
| seb128 | "The default log handler. This is used if no log handler has been set for the particular log domain and log level combination. It outputs the message to stderr or stdout and if the log level is fatal it calls abort()." | 01:49 |
| seb128 | you probably have the default handler changed | 01:49 |
| Mithrandir | well, stdout/err is fine with me | 01:49 |
| seb128 | depending of the code | 01:49 |
| Mithrandir | but I never see the log, so I need to hunt down the handler, then | 01:49 |
| seb128 | yes | 01:49 |
| ggi | rsacherer: Well, I don't know, not being a developer. X.org isn't all cool and modular yet, so I don't think it's being packaged. | 01:49 |
| Mithrandir | seb128: ok, thanks. :) | 01:50 |
| rsacherer | ggi, ah, i understand ;-) ok, it's like with everything in the open-source-world ... good things need time to become better ;-) | 01:50 |

| rsacherer | sabdfl, i am the debian-package manager in our company to provide debian packages for our house-build-software, i am c/perl/php/bash programmer, i developed modules for the freeradius server ... so, i think i could work on the base platform | 02:08 |

| Lowe | mplayer for the loveof god someone add mplayer (one that works0 | 02:10 |
| Muttley | mplayer ;) | 02:10 |
| Lowe | hehe | 02:10 |
| rburton | whats wrong with totem-xine + w32codecs? | 02:10 |
| Muttley | ugh | 02:10 |
| Muttley | ;) | 02:10 |
| Lowe | But we want mplayer | 02:10 |
| Lowe | ! | 02:10 |
| SurcouF | why ? | 02:10 |
| sabdfl | Lowe: it's in universe | 02:10 |
| rburton | mplayer sucks donkey balls | 02:10 |
| Lowe | YES WE ALL NO! | 02:10 |
| === Muttley watches lots of movies with external sub files | ||
| Lowe | no it doesn't | 02:10 |
| Muttley | totem doesn't support and xine is crappy support | 02:10 |
| rsacherer | sabdfl, nothing in special, i am just curios if it would be possible to become a full time ubuntu contributor, because i really love the idea of working for a free-minded employer ;-) | 02:11 |
| Lowe | Nothng is as good as mplayer | 02:11 |
| Muttley | and mplayer is better ;) | 02:11 |
| Lowe | And the one in universe doesn't work | 02:11 |
| Muttley | for the catch-all media viewing :) | 02:11 |
| rsacherer | but the one in the marillat archives, Muttly, Lowe, thoes this one not work like a charm? | 02:11 |
| Muttley | one interesting question. does anyone know a way to get mplayer/totem/xine to work with the win32 codecs on amd64 without a 32bit chroot? | 02:12 |
| SurcouF | Muttley, what's the latest version of totem you tried ? | 02:12 |
| Lowe | no it doesn't work either. But that's because of well.. | 02:12 |
| Deft | Muttley, I finf totem-xine with 140 plugins does the catch-all thing ok | 02:12 |
| Muttley | SurcouF: umm, on 0.99.15.1-2 atm | 02:12 |
| Muttley | (running debian amd64) | 02:12 |
| rsacherer | I have a problem with totem ... it does not display the video (black canvas) where gxine works well :-( | 02:13 |
| Lowe | when i try to install mplayer i get this | 02:13 |
| rsacherer | but as gxine worked, i did not take to much care of it | 02:13 |
| Lowe | damn it didn't copy! | 02:13 |
| Muttley | Deft: I still have issues with totem, firstly the external subs and secondly every 3rd time I load it it comes up with a blue screen instead of video | 02:13 |
| Deft | rsacherer, is that totem-gstreamer? moving to totem-xine should fix that | 02:13 |
| Muttley | Deft: I do use totem for dvds | 02:13 |
| rsacherer | Deft, ah, i will check this! | 02:13 |
| Muttley | for that it is good | 02:13 |
| Lowe | mplayer-k6: | 02:13 |
| Lowe | Depends: libarts but it is not installable or | 02:13 |
| Lowe | libarts-alsa but it is not installable | 02:13 |
| Lowe | Depends: libdirectfb8 but it is not installable | 02:13 |
| Lowe | Depends: libdvdread2 but it is not installable | 02:13 |
| Lowe | Depends: libvorbis0 but it is not installable | 02:13 |
| Muttley | (except the blue screen thing) | 02:13 |
| Lowe | ^^ and they all do that | 02:13 |
| SurcouF | Muttley, with sames codecs than mplayer ? | 02:13 |
| Deft | Muttley, odd, it's the first time I run totem it's blue... I should probably look into it, but it's so much easier to just restart it | 02:14 |

| rsacherer | another thing, i really would like to use ubuntu in my company also, but i did not found the nvidia packages, i have a nvidia FX5200 with dual head in my office and it would be nice to keep the dual-head configuration ;-) | 02:14 |
| moyogo | Lowe: use deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main | 02:14 |
| Muttley | SurcouF: well mplayer doesn't do it either. do get anything to run the win32 codecs I needed to install a 32bit chroot | 02:14 |
| Lowe | moyogo i already have! | 02:14 |
| rburton | rsacherer: apt-get install nvidia-glx | 02:14 |
| lamont | moorning | 02:15 |
| Muttley | SurcouF: most things are covered by native libraries, but qt and wmv don't work well without the win32 codecs | 02:15 |
| moyogo | Lowe: and it doesn't work? | 02:15 |
| Lowe | It doesn't work. | 02:15 |
| Deft | Lowe, you might need universe for the dependencies... | 02:15 |
| Muttley | Deft: it's just as easy for me to just run mplayer the first time and not worry about it maybe having a blue screen :) | 02:15 |
| SurcouF | Muttley, so, you only need extra codecs | 02:15 |
| sabdfl | rsacherer: the nvidia packages are coming | 02:16 |
| Deft | Muttley, yeah, I can accept that; out of interest, do you use the nvidia x driver? | 02:16 |
| moyogo | Lowe: weird | 02:16 |
| Muttley | SurcouF: yeah, but the 64bit mplayer/totem/xine didn't want to play with the win32 codecs | 02:16 |
| sabdfl | lamont: groeten | 02:16 |
| Lowe | How many times do i need to say this, i have universe. | 02:16 |
| Muttley | Deft: I do, I expect it's probably not totem's fault. but it's still a pain | 02:16 |
| rburton | Lowe: and i've said before, that mplayer package needs updating for latest sid by the look of it | 02:16 |
| moyogo | Lowe: what do you mean you have universe? | 02:16 |
| SurcouF | Muttley, tell to theses codecs editor to publish a 64 bit edition ;-) | 02:16 |
| rsacherer | sabdfl, ah, ok, nvidia coming sounds nice to me! ;-) but what's no regarding the full-time-ubunto thing? ;-) | 02:16 |
| Deft | Lowe, then try try apt-get install libdvdread2, it really should be either in main or universe, because I had it without trying | 02:17 |
| Lowe | <Deft> Lowe, you might need universe for the dependencies... << i was replying to this | 02:17 |

| thom | rsacherer: nvidia drivers are already in the restrcited component | 02:18 |
| thom | rsacherer: package is called nvidia-glx | 02:18 |

| rsacherer | sabdfl, great, seams a reasonable and fair way of doing things :-) | 02:19 |

| SurcouF | Muttley, with totem, you can install them directly | 02:21 |
| SurcouF | Muttley, okay | 02:21 |
| Capri | mwh_, do you think of more locales? | 02:21 |
| mwh_ | Capri, yes | 02:21 |
| SurcouF | conclusion: mplayer isn't better than anothers players | 02:21 |
| Lowe | yes it is | 02:21 |
| Lowe | It pwns the rest. | 02:22 |

| seb128 | oups | 02:23 |
| SurcouF | Muttley, no | 02:23 |
| seb128 | Muttley: totem supports subtitles | 02:23 |
| Capri | mwh_, I think it is the debian way. | 02:23 |
| SurcouF | because totem and xine supports DVD menus | 02:23 |
| Muttley | seb128: external subtitle files? | 02:23 |
| mwh_ | Capri, please explain | 02:23 |
| Deft | Lowe, well, marillat's mplayer says it depends on libvorbis0a, and that should be the latest version, you could try enforcing a particular distro with apt-get (-t ...) | 02:23 |
| SurcouF | mplayer doesn't not | 02:23 |
| rburton | mwh_: dpkg-reconfigur locales | 02:23 |

| Muttley | seb128: that's just like xine, not automatic | 02:24 |
| mwh_ | rburton, that seems to be the way | 02:24 |
| thom | pitti: :-) | 02:24 |
| SurcouF | so | 02:24 |

| cgdef | the thing is that the mkfs.reiser4 binary is installed so I assumed that the support to mount the file system would also be there | 02:25 |
| Muttley | seb128: yeah, not the point though | 02:26 |
| moyogo | hmmm, i find mplayer useful for a few things, sometimes xine is better | 02:26 |
| moyogo | totem is just eye candy | 02:26 |
| noda | My laptop seems to freeze when I press the "lid" button... any ideas? I mean, even *suspend* works (and I've never had it working before) | 02:26 |
| Muttley | seb128: it still works like xine. they should make it automatic and it blows most my reasons for using mplayer out the water | 02:26 |
| cgdef | however I get an error message that the file system is unsupported when I try to mount the drive | 02:26 |
| SurcouF | Lowe, why don't you like totem or xine ? | 02:26 |
| cgdef | the name of the FS in fstab is reiser4 right? | 02:26 |
| Lowe | Because they suck. No seriously they play my anime like shit. | 02:26 |
| SurcouF | moyogo, totem can use xine or gstreamer as backend | 02:27 |
| SurcouF | xine can't | 02:27 |

| Muttley | SurcouF: I tried the gstreamer backend for totem a few weeks back and it just didn't work very well at all | 02:27 |
| rburton | daniels: isn't this pleasant? | 02:27 |
| ldexter | hi world | 02:27 |
| moyogo | i wish totem had an advanced menu | 02:27 |
| SurcouF | Lowe, what anime ? | 02:27 |
| ldexter | anybody have screenshots of default ubuntu install? | 02:27 |
| daniels | rburton: yeah, just accidentally whacked the wrong key. how's things? | 02:27 |
| moyogo | with video controls (contrast, etc.) and subtitles | 02:28 |
| SurcouF | Muttley, gstreamer is young ;-) | 02:28 |
| rburton | moyogo: erm, contrast/colour etc is in totem | 02:28 |
| rburton | daniels: not bad. finally saw Shaun Of The Dead so things are looking up. you? | 02:28 |
| Lowe | All my anime! look i don't have to explain to you why i think it sucks, i want to use mplayer and that's all that matters. | 02:28 |
| daniels | rburton: neat. not too badly myself. | 02:28 |
| SurcouF | Lowe, so, do it yourself | 02:29 |
| rburton | Lowe: fine, but its not in ubuntu, its not in debian, so you have to install it yourself. live with it. | 02:29 |
| noda | I can chmod -x /etc/acpi/lid.sh but it still crashes when I press the lid button | 02:29 |
| steve2 | ldexter: linuxbeta has about 80 :P | 02:29 |
| Muttley | SurcouF: yes, but I'm not going to hinder my viewing pleasure in order to be on the bleeding edge :) | 02:29 |
| cgdef | Lowe: you know installing mplayer shouldn't be that hard | 02:29 |
| Lowe | I did compile from source, but i get even more errors. When i try to ply a file. -_- | 02:29 |
| SurcouF | Muttley, do you have a girlfriend ? ;-) | 02:30 |
| Muttley | I'm sure gstreamer is going to whip the crap out of mplayer and xine one day | 02:30 |
| noda | Use marillat's repository (I think) | 02:30 |
| Muttley | SurcouF: yup | 02:30 |
| cgdef | I've done it before but totem performs better for me so I don't use mplayer on this machine anymore | 02:30 |
| Muttley | SurcouF: A/S/L??!! ;) | 02:30 |

| SurcouF | Muttley, what she want to like: totem, xine or mplayer ? ;-) | 02:30 |
| Muttley | SurcouF: she likes mplayer because it plays chinese movies with the sub files easily :) | 02:31 |
| SurcouF | more easier than totem ? ;-) | 02:31 |
| === Stik [1000@ip68-0-43-164.hr.hr.cox.net] has joined #Ubuntu | ||
| cgdef | well if you setup totem it'll play your sub files easily | 02:31 |
| Muttley | SurcouF: yes | 02:31 |
| Muttley | SurcouF: double click easy :) | 02:31 |
| Muttley | cgdef: how? | 02:32 |
| SurcouF | Muttley, with totem too | 02:32 |
| ldexter | steve2: thank you :-) | 02:32 |
| Muttley | how, please tell me how. because I don't dislike totem, I just couldn't get it to do what I needed | 02:32 |
| cgdef | totem should automatically play the sub file if it has the same name as your avi and is in the same folder | 02:33 |
| Treenaks | I think it should show the sub file in the menu, but not play it by default, unless you clicked the sub file instead of the avi | 02:33 |
| Mithrandir | lifeless: mail sent, sorry for the delay. | 02:34 |
| cgdef | also it is possible that totem does not support the type of sub file that you are using but I hightly doubt that mplayer will if totem doesn't | 02:34 |
| lifeless | Mithrandir: no stress.. thanks | 02:34 |
| lifeless | do you have autoconf+automake+libtool+build-essential installed ? | 02:34 |
| lifeless | Oh, and arch would be useful too. | 02:34 |
| lifeless | :) | 02:34 |
| Lowe | mplayer supports everything i have thrown at it. the rest fail miserably. | 02:34 |
| Mithrandir | lifeless: what automake? | 02:35 |
| Mithrandir | as in, which version? | 02:35 |
| SurcouF | Lowe, totem supports everything I have thrown at it. | 02:35 |
| Muttley | cgdef: really? cool. how long has that been in because I'm sure I tried it recently and still had no luck. will try that out as soon as I get home. thanks | 02:35 |
| SurcouF | so | 02:36 |
| Lowe | And your point? | 02:36 |
| pitti | jamesh: regarding the memory leak: so gtk_tree_store_set() will not take the gchar* itself, but copy it? | 02:36 |
| Lowe | mplayer suits my needs the rest don't. | 02:36 |
| SurcouF | I don't look chinese animes with subtitles ;-) | 02:36 |
| lifeless | Mithrandir: latest is fine. | 02:36 |
| Lowe | What? in english please? | 02:36 |
| cgdef | Muttley: for a couple of sub releases I think I'll test it in a sec to make sure that it works like I remember it ;) | 02:36 |
| Mithrandir | lifeless: ok, done | 02:36 |

| SurcouF | Lowe, I much like translated movies than originals | 02:37 |
| cgdef | crap can't get access to my drive | 02:38 |
| Lowe | All my anime is subbed. | 02:38 |
| pitti | jamesh: If the string returned by gtk_tree_model_get() must be freed again, then I (or you) discovered a host of memory leaks | 02:38 |
| cgdef | for some reason ubuntu mounts all my drives that are not *linux* type as being readable only by root | 02:38 |
| lifeless | Mithrandir: cool! thanks! | 02:38 |
| Mithrandir | lifeless: it's on my home DSL, so it might be a bit high-latency, but should otherwise be fine. | 02:39 |

| sabdfl | think i need to add something about full time employment? | 04:02 |
| Deft | Has anyone considered a simplified package manager, one that only list usable applications, rather than all packages (ie. not libraries, -devs etc), and presents them in a clear, categorised way; preferably with icons and such | 04:03 |
| sabdfl | Kamion: ok | 04:03 |
| plovs_ | pitti, could it call something else as well? instead of gthumb (I would prefer gtkam) | 04:03 |
| === Gervystar [~gervy@peralba.sci.uniud.it] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| pitti | plovs_: sure, just tell your wishes in the bug report | 04:04 |
| rcaskey | A simplified package manager would be Good(TM) | 04:04 |
| plovs_ | pitti, ok, of writing a report | 04:04 |
| pitti | rcaskey: even simpler than synaptic? | 04:04 |
| jdub | rcaskey: coming in Hoary :-) | 04:04 |
| jdub | pitti: *yes* :) | 04:04 |
| rcaskey | Although I would prefer Synaptic be adapted | 04:04 |
| rcaskey | can't you just add a tag to existing packages (enduser)? | 04:04 |
| === SystemX_ [~SystemX@pcp02307676pcs.longhl01.md.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| sabdfl | Deft: yes, we'll have this for Hoary, it will list only applications in main (supported, with security fixes) | 04:05 |
| rcaskey | but a security update applet needs to get done | 04:05 |
| jdub | that's also coming in hoary | 04:05 |
| Deft | sabdfl, great, but could third party's apps from other archives get added? | 04:06 |
| rcaskey | hopefully 2.10 will get the noticiation spec banged out | 04:06 |
| jdub | Deft: it'll only list stuff from supported | 04:06 |
| rcaskey | I guess there is really no reason for it to be an applet though | 04:06 |
| sabdfl | Deft: hmm... so you'd like it to be possible for stuff from other archives to show up there? | 04:07 |
| Kamion | sabdfl: you mean something like when you'll consider employing new staff, or the relative status of core team vs. non-Canonical maintainers (hopefully as equal as possible), or ...? | 04:07 |
| jdub | Deft: if users know enough to want to go down the universe path, they can do so with synaptic or so on. :-) | 04:07 |
| rcaskey | I've been thinking there needs to be a simple way to add sources so that security updates can be done for all apps | 04:07 |
| rcaskey | and optional upgraes displayed | 04:07 |
| === fps [~fps@193.195.77.179] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Deft | sabdfl, best would be if you could certify apps in some way, so synaptic would check for applications in all repositories loaded, to find ones that match a list set by ubuntu | 04:07 |
| rcaskey | a single click to add the repo, apt-get install the software, etc | 04:08 |
| sabdfl | Deft: any reason why we would not simply move those apps to main if we were satisfied that they met the required standard? | 04:08 |
| Kamion | ha, sabdfl beat me to it | 04:08 |
| pitti | plovs_: when writing the bug, can you please assign it to me? (martin.pitt@canonical.com) | 04:08 |
| === Mirno is away: je re | ||
| Deft | rcaskey, that would be very useful too, would allow software on cds more easily too, if a whole apt archive could be put on a cd and installed from easily | 04:08 |
| Deft | sabdfl, I'm trying to think of commercial apps too | 04:09 |
| rcaskey | Also, it would help if it was possible to install a .deb with simple click click clicking | 04:09 |
| Phated | It is possible. *click click click* dpkg -i. | 04:09 |
| rcaskey | That way every app author wouldn't need to put up a respotiroy | 04:09 |
| Kamion | Deft: apt archives on CDs are pretty easy to do | 04:09 |
| rcaskey | Phated: I know that, but the average ubuntu user doesn't | 04:10 |
| jdub | rcaskey: that's doable (there's a nautilus extension for dpkg information too), but ideally, users would not ever need to deal with .deb files | 04:10 |
| jdub | rcaskey: repositories are the way to provide packages in an easy to use fashion | 04:10 |
| Phated | rcaskey: It should be basic based-on-Debian info, IMO. | 04:10 |
| Deft | Kamion, but they are not that easy to install from, because the user has to use apt-cdrom or whatever | 04:10 |
| Kamion | yeah, if people have to deal with .deb files then they have to deal with dependencies | 04:10 |
| fabbione | more than dpkg -i <package>, i would opt for apt-get install <package> | 04:10 |
| fabbione | Kamion: exactly my point :-) | 04:10 |
| rcaskey | jdub: Yeah, I can kinda dig that | 04:10 |

| Deft | Kamion, if they could just put in the cd, and tell synaptic "This cd is an apt source", they could install from it instantly; if the apps on the cd could also show up in a new application-level package manager, a user could just click on the app icon in that list, and go | 04:11 |
| pitti | thom: didn't you upload hal 1ubuntu11 recently? | 04:11 |
| pitti | thom: it's still not in the archive and I need to fix two bugs in hal | 04:12 |
| Kamion | rcaskey: you'd have to fake up a repository on the fly or something ... | 04:12 |
| jdub | Kamion: is there some kind of downloadable metadata file that could be interpreted into a source line? | 04:12 |
| Kamion | (otherwise apt can't do all the actions simultaneously) | 04:12 |
| Kamion | jdub: not to my knowledge | 04:12 |
| thom | hal | 0.2.92-1ubuntu11 | warty | source, amd64, i386, powerpc | 04:13 |
| rcaskey | Kamion: well you could just query the reqs on the package(s), apt-get install those, then dpkg -i the debs | 04:13 |
| jdub | Kamion: you could just provide a ".debsrc" file or something, which would be consumed by easyinstaller/synaptic | 04:13 |
| Kamion | jdub: if you have the URL to the repository, you can parse it into the repository | 04:13 |
| Kamion | rcaskey: you really want to take the repository approach | 04:13 |
| jdub | although | 04:13 |
| thom | pitti: ^ | 04:13 |
| rcaskey | Kamion: I think both should be done | 04:13 |
| Kamion | rcaskey: there are too many corner cases otherwise | 04:13 |
| jdub | we have to really seriously consider why we're trying to optimise for numerous repositories | 04:13 |
| Kamion | rcaskey: and you end up duplicating too much code | 04:13 |
| Kamion | er, "parse it into the sources.list line" above | 04:14 |
| pitti | thom: I use the German mirror. Obviously it did not propagate there yet | 04:14 |
| pitti | thom: thanks | 04:14 |
| jdub | sabdfl: mail for you on sounder | 04:14 |
| Phated | Why not something that told dpkg to ask apt to download needed deps when dpkgg -i was invoked and unmet dependencies were found? It must be possible -somehow-. | 04:14 |
| jdub | Phated: better to have apt support file installation | 04:14 |
| az[a] zel_ubuntu | hmmm.. 83.6MB of upgrades already | 04:14 |
| jdub | Phated: so it can do it, and invoke dpkg, etc. | 04:14 |
| Kamion | Phated: layering violation; that's apt's job | 04:15 |
| Phated | jdub: True. | 04:15 |
| rcaskey | jdub: making an easy way to click and add subscriptions would probably make software makers rather happy | 04:15 |
| Deft | I reckon I'll try and write out a few scenarios for software installation, see if I can draw it together somehow (yes, I'm bored) | 04:15 |
| Kamion | rcaskey: there's a limit to how much we want to make proprietary software authors happy, though | 04:15 |
| rcaskey | add a handler for an xml doc to add it to the sources.list and an easy add/remove software util | 04:15 |
| rcaskey | Kamion: I think this benefits everyone | 04:15 |

| Se7h | Kamion thanks alot for the help | 05:54 |
| Lowe | Firestarter and i click it (obviously) And it asks for the root password | 05:54 |
| Se7h | guess i'll have to w8 for 2.6 drivers | 05:54 |
| subterrific | Lowe: right click on the menu item and change the command to gksudo firestarter | 05:54 |
| jdub | the same may apply to lvm, evms, etc. | 05:54 |

| ubuntuwig | on the other hand, the kernel does have a whole lot of esoteric little options | 06:28 |
| ubuntuwig | i think it's mainly a problem with older IDE controllers | 06:28 |
| ubuntuwig | this one was an onboard 440LX controller | 06:28 |

| WW | ubuntuwig: Older? I got this computer in Feb or March this year! Its a Shuttle. | 06:29 |
| Nonphasis | why do I need to run dpkg-reconfigure linux-rest..-k7 before kernel module loads proporly? | 06:29 |
| Nonphasis | _Hiro_, is hda created? | 06:29 |

| Nonphasis | _Hiro_, is ide-cd loaded? | 06:29 |
| _Hiro_ | if i do touch /.dev/hdc it creates both /dev/hdc and /dev/hdc1 and I can mount the hd for that session | 06:30 |

| === ponds [~ponds@ws169-33.evans.dynamic.msstate.edu] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| pitti | plovs: just comment the main/restricted/universe deb lines in /etc/apt/sources.list and just keep the security deb line | 06:59 |
| pitti | plovs: but then you cannot install new software any more | 07:00 |
| ponds | is the ubuntu kernel a stock 2.6.8.1 or is it patched with anything? if its patched, where do i get the sources? I cant find it in apt. | 07:00 |
| pitti | plovs: after warty's release in October, you will only get security updates anyway | 07:00 |
| marquivon | i believe if i copy /install/netboot/* files in /ubuntu directory on a redhat linux 9 system, modify its grub.conf and add its entries, then it should work, right? | 07:00 |
| Kamion | ponds: somewhat patched, get the source package and look in debian/patches/ to see | 07:00 |
| ponds | ok, im having trouble locating the source package | 07:01 |
| Kamion | aitrus: completely automatic upgrades are not recommended; occasionally upgrades have to ask a question | 07:01 |
| Kamion | aitrus: you might like to use 'apt-get -dy dist-upgrade' to just download everything, then you can do the actual upgrade later | 07:01 |
| Kamion | ponds: make sure the deb-src line for warty main is uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.list; 'apt-get source linux-source-2.6.8.1' | 07:02 |
| Kamion | (you don't need to run that latter part as root) | 07:02 |

| aitrus | is the "universe" archive like a contrib repository? (anyone can submit software to it) | 07:04 |
| Kamion | marquivon: you'll have to copy the right boot parameters from d-i though | 07:04 |
| marquivon | if it boots, that's enough. then will take backup of rh9, and then reinstall the system | 07:04 |
| ponds | its a snapshot of debian unstable compiled against ubuntu | 07:04 |
| Kamion | aitrus: no, universe is everything in Debian main that's not Warty main | 07:04 |
| ponds | afaik | 07:04 |
| Kamion | marquivon: if you can boot over the network, PXE might be better | 07:04 |

| DimSum | Hmm | 07:07 |
| DimSum | Are you guys looking into using something like Anaconda as the installer for Ubuntu? | 07:07 |
| pitti | plovs: I would write a small script which changes apt sources temporarily, does the upgrade and changes back the sources | 07:07 |
| DimSum | Because, although the Ubuntu installation was simple as hell, it wasn't exactly "inviting" | 07:07 |
| Kamion | DimSum: it may be an option in the future, but debian-installer seems to be doing sufficiently well that I imagine it will remain the default | 07:07 |
| plovs | pitti, I wrote this small script that does just that but it feels kind off funny | 07:07 |

| Kamion | DimSum: in the Hoary timeframe we'll be looking at adopting/writing/polishing a graphical version of debian-installer | 07:08 |
| pitti | plovs: there might be an easier way, though: | 07:08 |
| mike_w | according to a similar problem on the user lists, my totem problem [OSS device "/dev/dsp" is already in use by another program] is linked to esd, but I'm having problems shutting it down.. | 07:08 |
| Kamion | marquivon: syslinux.cfg in the CD image | 07:08 |
| DimSum | But it wasn't even graphical? | 07:08 |
| DimSum | Ahhh, right | 07:08 |
| pitti | plovs: you can run apt-get -c /etc/apt/update.conf upgrade | 07:08 |
| Kamion | "graphical" is not exactly minimum criterion for an installer :-) | 07:08 |
| pitti | plovs: create /etc/apt/update.conf which points to a different source list | 07:09 |
| Nonphasis | I just enabled Universe - is it dangerous to get stuff frem there? | 07:09 |
| Deft | jdub, Kamion, anyone I was talking to earlier, some thoughts on packages: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~psh103/temp/packages.txt | 07:09 |
| DimSum | No, but if you want to be up there with the rest of the proper distroes | 07:09 |
| Kamion | "works" is about an order of magnitude more important, so we concentrated on that first | 07:09 |
| DimSum | Then a graphical installer is necessary | 07:09 |
| pitti | plovs: this is entry Dir::Etc::SourceList | 07:09 |
| pitti | plovs: man apt-get says it all | 07:09 |
| DimSum | I mean, lets face it, right now - when it's fully installed - Ubutnu is easily the nicest looking distro out there | 07:09 |
| Kamion | I fundamentally disagree, but it's not going to be productive talking about it here especially since we're going to be doing a graphical installer anyway | 07:09 |
| === Lowe[Dinner] is now known as Lowe | ||
| plovs | pitti, thanks, reading now | 07:09 |
| DimSum | It's like a distro which takes everything to the XD2 level | 07:09 |
| Lowe | That was decent | 07:09 |
| DimSum | But for me, the whole experience was let down by the installer | 07:10 |
| pitti | plovs: option -c is the one you look for | 07:10 |
| DimSum | Just reminded me of the RH6.2 days, tbh | 07:10 |
| jdub | Kamion: in fact, it's almost the other way around :) | 07:10 |
| Kamion | DimSum: dude, EOD, please :) | 07:10 |
| Nonphasis | actually, the installation was a breeze. Apart from the lack of keyboard layout selection | 07:10 |
| DimSum | EOD? | 07:10 |
| DimSum | Oh, k. | 07:10 |
| Kamion | Nonphasis: yeah, that's an open bug, if Mark approves it that question will return | 07:10 |
| DimSum | Nonphasis: Yeah; I know, it WAS easy, but just not beautiful, unlike the rest of the distro :P | 07:10 |
| DimSum | Just out of interest, are you using XFree86, or are you using XOrg? I haven't actually bothered to look yet | 07:11 |
| Kamion | XFree86, X.org for Hoary | 07:11 |
| Kamion | (it didn't quite make the cut) | 07:11 |
| Nonphasis | Kamion, well, approval would seem sensible considering the apparent focus of th distro | 07:11 |
| DimSum | Hoary being the next major version? | 07:11 |
| Kamion | Nonphasis: the initial thought was that it could be sufficiently automated, but this appears not to be the case given user feedback | 07:12 |
| Kamion | Nonphasis: we've been trying to cut questions out as far as possible | 07:12 |
| Kamion | DimSum: yeah, due April 2005 | 07:12 |
| DimSum | That's quite a long way away; I assume we'll be talking version 5.0 then, rather than 4.2? | 07:12 |

| Deft | DimSum, April is 4 | 07:13 |

| felixdz | hello. Mission control I have a problem. I used to be able to burn cd's with knoppix hdinstalled and fedora... | 07:18 |

| Kamion | mike_w: if you haven't set the root password, it should just let you straight in (you have physical access to the machine anyway ...) | 07:19 |
| felixdz | Now I can burn only in winXP, fedora appears to have changed the dev from dev=0,1,0 to 1,1,0 | 07:20 |

| mike_w | Kamion: thnx, so that's me back to how it should be again then?! | 07:21 |

| Kamion | mike_w: you're welcome to set it up either way | 07:21 |
| Kamion | mike_w: that would be back to the default, though, yes | 07:21 |
| mike_w | Kamion: as it is advantageous / recommended to leave root disabled so will prob stick with the default ;-) | 07:22 |

| subterrific | so i just got to work and my ubuntu machine that had been sitting idle all weekend was reallllllly slloooooow | 07:30 |
| neighborlee | how do I report a bug when the component I need isn't listed ? | 07:31 |
| subterrific | i had to drop to a console and then it took about 30 seconds for top to start | 07:31 |
| jdub | neighborlee: UNKNOWN | 07:31 |
| neighborlee | ok | 07:31 |
| subterrific | and top showed negative cpu loads... | 07:31 |
| subterrific | first time i've seen that | 07:31 |
| sabdfl | mdz: ping | 07:32 |
| mdz | sabdfl: pong | 07:32 |
| sabdfl | would you be happy to convene the Technical Board every two weeks? | 07:32 |
| sabdfl | mdz: ^ | 07:32 |
| subterrific | does ubunturun something by default that does cpu freq scaling? | 07:32 |
| Kamion | subterrific: yep, powernowd | 07:33 |
| mdz | sabdfl: I think so, yes | 07:33 |
| sabdfl | ok | 07:33 |
| sabdfl | i'll put that on the web site | 07:33 |
| sabdfl | we need a calendar... | 07:34 |
| mdz | we might space them further apart once Ubuntu is more architecturally stable | 07:34 |
| mdz | but we have a lot of decisions to make at this point | 07:34 |
| sabdfl | i think it's good to have a regular meeting, so people can submit items for discussion. if there are few items, it's a quick meeting | 07:34 |
| sabdfl | and yes, it might have to meet more regularly for the next little while :-) | 07:35 |

| Nonphasis | are we supposed to use totem for video playback? | 07:35 |
| subterrific | Kamion: `i'm wondering if it scaled my cpu really low cause it sat idle all weekend and then couldn't scale it back up | 07:36 |
| mike_w | are there any linux media players that can handle .m4a's (apple itunes)? | 07:36 |
| subterrific | i was able to reboot the machine, but it took like 15 minutes for it to reboot | 07:36 |
| pitti | Nonphasis: it sucks, but it is the best one can get without (too many) patent infringements | 07:36 |
| subterrific | its a 3ghz HT P4 | 07:36 |
| felixdz | I am just going to see if I can get cdrecord to go in fedora then I'll come back. TTFN | 07:36 |
| pitti | Nonphasis: (of course, the first thing to do on a Desktop is to install mplayer or totem-xine) | 07:37 |
| sabdfl | mdz: when do you want to host the next meeting? | 07:37 |
| Nonphasis | pitti, too bad I can't view any of my media content w/o infringing a patent or two ;-) | 07:37 |
| Lowe | Someone should prt foobar to linux | 07:37 |
| Nonphasis | gotta go compile that mplayer then... | 07:37 |
| Lowe | pot* | 07:37 |
| Lowe | port* | 07:37 |
| Lowe | damn it | 07:37 |
| pitti | Nonphasis: I agree, but we cannot ship the good stuff, you have to download it for yourself | 07:37 |
| pitti | Nonphasis: you can apt totem-xine, this uses the very good xine libs | 07:38 |
| sabdfl | Nonphasis: what are you compiling? everything should be in mplayer? | 07:38 |
| pitti | Nonphasis: but I prefer mplayer myself and it's easy to compile | 07:38 |
| Nonphasis | Lowe, foobar kinda almost works with wine | 07:38 |

| pitti | Nonphasis: the codecs you can download are windows dlls, and they should work with any mplayer | 07:40 |
| Nonphasis | sabdfl, and the stock version couldn't even scale the window properly | 07:40 |

| OZ8AAZ | where the kernel-headers for 2.6.8? | 07:41 |
| pitti | Lowe: for my usage, the builtin codecs are fine, I don't use dlls | 07:41 |
| sabdfl | mdz: yes, it's an open invite, search for consensus among board members and team members of the proposed item | 07:41 |
| Nonphasis | I'll go try the stock mplayer now | 07:41 |
| Lowe | pitti even when compiling from source? | 07:41 |
| pitti | Lowe: but the Win32 DLLs are in fact the ones to use, mplayer can use them | 07:41 |

| WW | rasher: Take a look in synaptic (Computer->System Configuration->Synaptic Package Manager | 08:12 |

| WW | rasher: ... and do you have nvidia-glx installed? | 08:13 |
| rasher | WW: I do, yes.. I also have the nvidia kernel module and I could modprobe it and it'd probably work.. I was just following the directions in the wiki, which seems to be misleading | 08:13 |

| linux_mafia | rapha, install totem-xine | 09:29 |
| seb128 | Mitario: that's probably the most used browser here, but I still use epiphany | 09:29 |

| tvon|x31 | phin|work: It would run fine. I used a system like that for my desktop up till about a year and a half ago. generally used openbox as the wm | 09:44 |
| tvon|x31 | nautilus will suck, so I'd avoid it | 09:45 |
| phin|work | right on. | 09:45 |
| rapha | What would you say if I would ask if "use home directory as desktop" could be enabled by default in Ubuntu? | 09:45 |
| phin|work | ya.. i wonder thou | 09:45 |

| phin|work | theres one | 09:54 |

| phin|work | yep | 09:54 |
| phin|work | i belive mplayer does as well | 09:54 |
| rasher | However, the mplayer gui is a joke | 09:55 |
| rasher | last I looked anyway | 09:55 |
| subterrific | i'd have never guessed, its entirely customized | 09:55 |
| linux_mafia | rapha, its in universe, there is a thread in the users mailing list about it | 09:55 |

| subterrific | there are better alternatives to both xmms and mplayer | 09:55 |
| phin|work | i personally use totem | 09:55 |
| phin|work | but i use xmms alot for it being lite | 09:56 |
| subterrific | rhythmbox and totem-xine | 09:56 |
| phin|work | and it has alot of plugins that i like | 09:56 |

| sabdfl | azeem: we'll retain any maintainers that meet the standard and remain actively involved | 09:56 |

| azeem | sabdfl: sure, I just wondered whether you consider any size of maintainers as 'too big for the project' | 09:57 |
| Deft | subterrific, the xmms are very against that, there's already been a sort-of fork over it | 09:58 |
| linux_mafia | phin|work, it dosent really have to be gtk2, its only a looks thing, works flawlessly, i dont see the point as yet | 09:58 |

| phin|work | deft: correct, there is beep | 09:58 |
| phin|work | which is a fork | 09:58 |

| phin|work | how stripped down of an install can i do with ubuntu? do i havta install all the apps it recommends? or can i get it down to almost nothing | 09:59 |
| Deft | rapha, Muine needs Mono, so it _at least_ won't be in the first release | 09:59 |
| subterrific | they are obviously against any movement forward and want xmms to look and act the same as it did 5 years ago | 09:59 |

| yuran | altough i learned to identify my songs by the ammount of question marks :( | 10:02 |
| Deft | phin|work, you should be able to remove nautilus from the session with no trouble at all, the problems would be with any other program that expected it to be running, and I can't think of any offhand... | 10:02 |
| rapha | Deft: just because you don't have the time to include Mono, or are political questions / license issues involved? | 10:02 |
| punkass_ | Deft: so about the control-C thing at boot up, is there not a better way to do it? | 10:02 |

| rapha | Deft: Well, then all is good. I was just afraid it couldn't have been just a time issue :-) | 10:04 |
| npmccallum | rapha: We wanted to include mono, however packages in sid were broken at the time and there are unknown legal implications | 10:04 |
| punkass_ | Deft: yeah but when i bootup with the cable in i want it to auto connect.. | 10:04 |
| linux_mafia | rapha, there are mono packages made by some guy already, for the keen/desperate, but they are to be included in the proper release if sufficient interest is shown | 10:05 |
| phin|work | deft: ok cool, personally i would wanna remove it completly, as this is going on a pc with only a 4gig drive | 10:05 |

| punkass_ | yeah i have dhcpcd too for a wireless app i have installed | 10:07 |
| Deft | punkass_, it may be improved in the future though, I think there's something about hotplugging network connections in progress | 10:07 |
| rapha | npmccallum: Yeah... I also think Mono is having a bad time, given that no distro wants it because of "the legal implications"... was time somebody stepped forward and tried. | 10:07 |

| WW | ssh-askpass-gnome appears to have been installed by default. | 10:16 |
| Kosai | I prefer ssh-askpass-x11, 'cause of the way it looks all futuristic while you're typing in your password. | 10:17 |
| rapha | linux_mafia: So that's the only package I'll need? | 10:17 |
| Capri | rasher, there is only openssh-client and openssh-server in Ubuntu. It is different to Debian. | 10:17 |
| linux_mafia | rapha, youll need xine-libs | 10:17 |
| rapha | Okay | 10:17 |
| rapha | Hmm | 10:18 |
| rapha | Doesn't appear to be under "x". | 10:18 |

| Deft | tseng, there are some rpms of it around, a big package called w32codecs, you can just unzip it though | 10:20 |
| azeem | rapha: the archive is sorted by source package | 10:20 |
| azeem | rapha: thus, it's in xine or whater I guess | 10:20 |

| _axel | the installer screws up in my system cause my xp partition is not in hda1, it should notice that and add map () statements to the automagic xp line -- admitted my case is not that common anyway | 11:07 |

| Kamion | _axel: hm, not familiar with that case, again I'd suggest reporting a bug so I can look at it | 11:08 |
| axe9 | The linux one is just an old drive I ha | 11:08 |
| _axel | Kamion: will do | 11:08 |
| Kamion | axe9: so you installed onto an old one but WinXP is on the new one, is that right? | 11:08 |

| elim | how old is this project? | 11:12 |
| azeem | yeah, Kamion loves fora | 11:12 |
| axe9 | yeah | 11:12 |
| subterrific | Treenaks: weird, it didn't use that domain to send to me. they must be changing the setup | 11:12 |
| Kamion | axe9: in order to detect the WinXP filesystem and put it in the grub configuration, we need to make sure that the installer can detect the SATA drive; to do that, I need to know the exact model, which 'lspci' and 'lspci -n' are good at showing | 11:12 |
| axe9 | I was thinking about maybe just opening on the case and changing the settings | 11:12 |
| === Kamion thwaps azeem | ||
| Kamion | elim: first public release was five days ago; I first heard about it around March, and the main kick-off meeting was April, so I guess that's really the starting point | 11:13 |
| linux_mafia | anyone here using fabio's new x packages? | 11:14 |
| Mitario | jdub do you use hoary yourself? or just warty? | 11:14 |
| === _Hiro_ [~harold@212-112.a2f.dsl.net4all.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jdub | warty | 11:14 |
| Kamion | Mitario: hoary doesn't exist yet | 11:14 |
| _axel | Kamion: what component should i file under? debian-installer? grub-installer? | 11:14 |
| jdub | hoary doesn't exi-- | 11:14 |
| Mitario | oh, i thought you could already use the devel packages | 11:14 |
| Kamion | _axel: grub-installer | 11:14 |
| srbaker | grr | 11:14 |
| jdub | Mitario: a couple of us have testing repositories | 11:14 |
| jdub | i do some bluetooth things | 11:15 |
| Kamion | _axel: (although debian-installer is an acceptable catch-all for installer stuff) | 11:15 |
| Mitario | ah | 11:15 |
| jdub | tseng has some mono things | 11:15 |
| jdub | etc. | 11:15 |
| jdub | but not proper hoary :) | 11:15 |
| Mitario | ok, cool | 11:15 |
| axe9 | eh... The drive is a seagate 80GB 7200 hdd, with 8MB cache, it has 2 partitions, one 7GB for XP, and another 68GB one. | 11:15 |
| Kamion | axe9: 'lspci' and 'lspci -n', I really mean it :) | 11:16 |
| theantix | heh | 11:16 |
| Kamion | the hardware detection works in terms of PCI IDs | 11:17 |
| calc | update-pciids might help first | 11:17 |
| curtian4 | is anyone using the warty livecd? | 11:17 |
| andred | It's impossible to get the Home directory on the deskotop without the "shortcut" emblem on it? | 11:17 |
| jdub | andred: in configuration editor | 11:17 |
| jdub | andred: go to /apps/nautilus/desktop | 11:17 |
| andred | ok, thanks | 11:17 |
| jdub | andred: turn on the special icons you wnat | 11:17 |
| jdub | but i encourage you to try without them for a while | 11:18 |
| tseng | its fun w/o | 11:18 |
| maswan | Do you guys have a FAI port? | 11:18 |
| andred | jdub, I hae for a few days now. I like drag-dropping stuff to those icons. | 11:18 |
| phlaegel | without the special icons, and with desktop_is_home_dir... :-) | 11:18 |

| === maswan ponders a cluster install | ||
| subterrific | jdub: i really like having the icons turned off, i used to take all my icons off my macos desktop also. however, i question the learning curve for new users. | 11:19 |
| maswan | well, or any other automatic net install method | 11:19 |
| axe9 | I've got no clue as to what 'lspci' and 'lspci -n' are T_T | 11:19 |
| subterrific | most people are used to having those icons there thanks to windows, mac, etc... | 11:19 |
| Kamion | axe9: they're commands you run in a terminal | 11:20 |
| WW | axe9: Start with Applications->System Tools->Terminal | 11:20 |
| axe9 | ok | 11:20 |
| _Hiro_ | why can't I set my ap with iwconfig? | 11:20 |

| WW | axe9: After the$, type lspci and hit enter. | 11:20 |
| _Hiro_ | iwconfig ath0 ap <apdata> fails :/ | 11:20 |
| curtian4 | anyone able to take q's on the livecd? | 11:20 |
| axe9 | You want me to paste what cam up into a PM? | 11:21 |
| subterrific | i guess as long as nautilus brings up a new window when a volume is mounted, thats what really matters. | 11:21 |
| axe9 | came* | 11:21 |
| _axel | Kamion: done, #1527 commited to bugzilla, ask if you need any extra info | 11:21 |
| Kamion | axe9: mail to cjwatson@canonical.com would be better | 11:21 |

| linux_mafia | tseng, you already built some, didnt you bro? | 11:23 |
| Treenaks | as bugzilla isn't working for me, could someone add a note that Debian bug #246725 is still present in the Ubuntu installer? | 11:23 |
| tseng | linux_mafia: he's on ppc | 11:23 |
| maswan | Kamion: kickstart? is that the redhat or mandrake version? I'm only familiar with fai, jumpstart, nim and roboinst. :) | 11:23 |
| Deft | tube013, how do you know it doesn't load? is that from a dmesg message? | 11:23 |
| ish | how can I get 'dpkg -l' to show me the whole name of the packages? | 11:23 |
| linux_mafia | tseng, oh, i see | 11:23 |
| === trey is now known as |trey| | ||

| Treenaks | _axel: :) | 11:24 |
| Kamion | maswan: I think kickstart's a RHism | 11:24 |
| _axel | :P | 11:24 |
| maswan | Kamion: Ok, so what are you guys going to call it? ;) | 11:25 |
| tube013 | Deft: yea.. nothing from hotplug, which I normally see when it worked in other distros. It may be ACPI error. is the Ubuntu kernel patched so I can load a patched dsdt into initrd.img? | 11:25 |
| sabdfl | hmm... looks like there is a mailman upgrade problem in warty/universe | 11:25 |
| Kamion | maswan: well, we'll be importing debconf preseeding from sarge, for a start | 11:25 |
| maswan | Kamion: We might kludge ubuntu into our fai install anyway, I mean, we did that for pure64 and the upside of ubuntu is real security upgrades.. | 11:26 |
| Kamion | maswan: the kickstart stuff will I think be some kind of automated translation from literal Kickstart files, which will help people with big RH/etc. deployments to integrate Ubuntu relatively seamlessly | 11:26 |
| jdub | maswan: wow, cool :) | 11:26 |
| maswan | jdub: On the other hand, the cluster is running fine right now, so we might not. :) | 11:26 |
| tseng | oops, i just filled my fileserver | 11:27 |
| tseng | 30gb of flac :) | 11:27 |
| maswan | Kamion: Ah, ok. I've never had any experience with kickstar. | 11:27 |
| _Hiro_ | 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 ath0 that's a correct route, no? | 11:27 |
| Kamion | _Hiro_: looks OK, provided your IP is 192.168.1.<something>; I would expect to see another line for the route to the gateway | 11:28 |
| _Hiro_ | or does it need the gateway filled in? :| | 11:28 |
| Kamion | 192.168.124.128 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 eth2 | 11:28 |
| Kamion | 0.0.0.0 192.168.124.225 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth2 | 11:28 |
| _Hiro_ | problem is when I do ssh 192.168.1.1 it says "no route to host" | 11:28 |
| _Hiro_ | ath0 is a card in the system, right now I use eth0 to go to the net :/ | 11:29 |

| sabdfl | anybody know a lot about mailman here? | 11:29 |

| axe9 | ah... | 11:31 |
| jdub | sabdfl: is this on rince? | 11:31 |

| phlaegel | _Hiro_: what do you need to do? | 11:38 |
| _Hiro_ | if I want to send something over 192.168.1.0 I need to point it to the gateway, but if I set the gateway it adds it as a default gateway for the whole system. Can I not just specify it for the network segment? | 11:39 |
| _Hiro_ | well my wireless is in 192.168.1.0/24 the gateway/ap for it is 192.168.1.1 but if I put that as gateway in the interfaces file it sets it as default 0.0.0.0 gateway | 11:40 |
| sabdfl | jdub: how would you feel about a switch to grub and kernel 2.6 on that box? | 11:40 |
| _Hiro_ | and I already have eth0 for 0.0.0.0 there | 11:40 |
| _Hiro_ | maybe it's my interfaces notation :/ | 11:40 |
| _Hiro_ | right now I'm just trying to get the wireless to work so I can get my vpn running again and ditch the wires :P | 11:41 |
| jdub | sabdfl: can you touch the box within 1 minute of where you're sitting? | 11:41 |

| hypatia | axe9: http://isnoop.net/gmailomatic.php | 11:43 |
