axe9I see 8)12:03
ElRatonbut i'm not using it cuz at this time, i only have 1 computer12:03
axe9What you gonna use for the server/12:03
ElRatonhalf a server, half a worsktation ;)12:03
ElRatoncurrently, fedora core 212:03
axe9Ah, cool12:03
ElRatononce i'll have ubuntu on my laptop...12:03
ElRatondebian :D12:03

axe9Is Debian good for servers?12:03
ElRaton???12:03

=== _Hiro_ [~harold@212-112.a2f.dsl.net4all.net] has joined #ubuntu
ElRatonno trolls, but debian is made for servers, and is the best distro to do a server12:04
ElRaton;)12:04
ElRatonreally, debian is not made for end-users (yes it is...) but first for servers ;)12:04
_Hiro_is there a package for madwifi driver maybe? :|12:04
ElRaton_Hiro_, universe ;)12:04
axe9Soemone I know said it mightn't be good using Debian, because the distro he had was all screwy, and had stabilty troubles..12:04
axe9I think my servers run on RedHat12:05
ElRatonit's possible12:05
HrdwrBoBElRaton: which is precisely why ubuntu exists12:05
ElRatoncuz debian has flavours12:05
_Hiro_I let synaptic search but it has no such package :/12:05
ElRatonHrdwrBoB, i understood ;)12:05
ElRatonHrdwrBoB, i'm explaining him ;)12:05
HrdwrBoBaxe9: I assure you debian is a much better server OS12:05
_Hiro_apt-cache doesn't find anything either12:05
HrdwrBoBwe run redhat at work and I despise it12:05
ElRatonbut debian has 3 main flavous12:05
azeemHrdwrBoB: ubuntu is marketed as a server OS as well, though12:05
axe9Kool, well, I don't have control over what OS they use :P12:05
ElRatonthe stable one, for servers12:05
HrdwrBoB_Hiro_: have you got restricted in your sources.list12:05
ElRatonthe testing one, less stable ;)12:06
axe9As long as my 30GBs are there, I'm fine ;)12:06
ElRatonand the unstable one... hum... for me ;))12:06
_Hiro_I have uncommented universe12:06
ElRatonand debian developpers ;)12:06
Miichaelhow is video card support in ubuntu?12:06
HrdwrBoBazeem: true, but at least for now, that's unlikely to happen much12:06
ElRaton_Hiro_, apt-get update12:06
sladenaxe9: I feel your friend maybe mis-informed.  Alot of the reason people /do/ run Debian is because it has a reputation for stability that it is often believed, nothing else rivals12:06
_Hiro_I did apt-get update12:06
axe9oh12:06
axe9ok12:06
ElRaton_Hiro_, after uncommenting it, you need to update your dpkg cache12:06
_Hiro_I did that12:06
ElRaton_Hiro_, apt-cache search madwifi ??12:06
_Hiro_how else would I been able to get openvpn :)12:06
axe9Oh! My sound isn't working on Ubuntu eiter ..>12:07
_Hiro_I searched for wifi, nothing12:07

_Hiro_kwifimanager - KDE Wireless Lan Manager12:07
_Hiro_those 2 :|12:07
sladen_Hiro_: your madwifi stuff should be installed by default (and hopefully auto-detected too)12:07
_Hiro_I think this might be my wireless problem: Bit Rate=1Mb/s12:07
_Hiro_well it doesn't work12:07
_Hiro_it always gives no route to host12:08
sladen_Hiro_: That's probably not a madwifi problem12:08
_Hiro_then I don't know what is12:08
ElRatonbut a wifi configuration problem ;)12:08
_Hiro_routing tables are ok12:08
_Hiro_yet no route12:08
_Hiro_no the wifi works12:08
_Hiro_worked fine with gentoo12:08
sladen_Hiro_: is your routeing okay.  Or is there no route, why?12:09
ElRatonWEP key, channel or ESSID, ip settings (IP, netmask) ?12:09
sladen_Hiro_: is your routeing okay.  Or is there no route, which?12:09
_Hiro_yes all set12:09
ElRatonad-hoc or managed ?12:09
_Hiro_I used this before on gentoo, openvpn over 128 WEP, it worked fine12:09
_Hiro_managed12:09
sladen_Hiro_: what does  /sbin/iwconfig   or the Wireless Applet tell you12:09
ElRatoniwlist wlan0 scan12:09
ElRatonreplace wlan0 by your wireless interface12:10

_Hiro_iwconfig just tells me all the info like I had before12:10
ElRatonyes12:10
_Hiro_just the bit rate differs :/12:10
ElRatonbut... what about iwlist?12:10

_Hiro_Cell 01 and a lot of bit rates12:12
ElRaton_Hiro_, ok, so your antenna driver is ok ;)12:12

mdzI have a box with one of those remotes, but it's on 2.4 using ati_remote from gatos04:05
mdzit also needs lirc, which is why it isn't running 2.6 yet04:05
mdztbone: nothing on the console when it hangs?04:05
mdztbone: probably best would be to get a task dump using magic sysrq04:05
tboneI'll try that....are logs from previous boots stored anywhere?  my only option when the boot hangs is to power cycle....unless magic sysrq works, I forgot about that actually04:06
tboneand there is data on the console when it hangs....I've seen I think two versions of the hang....but it happens in approximately the same place each time04:08
tboneoh and congrats to all the devs on a nice package....best gnome distro I've seen yet04:10
mdztbone: the trouble with magic sysrq is that you'll need to write down the data by hand, unless you have a serial console setup04:11

subterrifici've had a bunch of issues with usb devices too. hard drives failing to copy files, mice stop working. i'm sure it will all get ironed out soon though :)06:50
Netwolfwith optimized kernels (ck-patch)?06:50
ishAnyone know if issues with kernel.org kernels on ubuntu?06:50
jdubNetwolf: the binaries are built for i486, tuned for p4.06:50
jdubNetwolf: shipping unstable kernels is not really on the plan. :)06:51
NetwolfI ran ubuntu on machine where I've been running Gentoo. ubuntu's about 60% slower (read: less snappier) than the binaries for gentoo06:51
Netwolfthis is purely an observation I've found06:51
subterrificish: do the kernel.org kernel's have squashfs? you definitely need that...06:51
sladenish: hopefully, you shouldn't find yourself having to recompile kernels---if there's something you need, it would be better to make sure it can go in the stock kernel!06:51
=== jdub does not believe that. CPU optimisation alone does not account for a 40% performance difference.
ishsladen: ACPI vs APM is my problem I think..06:52
ishI could only get apm to work by building my own kernel without ACPI..06:52
sladenjdub: I'm doing new images / vectors now06:52

ishI've run gentoo on this same machine.. I hardly notice a difference between it, mandrake, debian-unstable or ubuntu..06:53

jdubNetwolf: gcc allows you to build a binary using the instructions of a particular processor, tuned for another processor06:56
Netwolfnevertheless, I'm really trying to find out whether or not it's ubuntu or it's gentoo's optimized binaries06:56
jdubso Ubuntu uses i486 instructions, with the binary tuned for p406:56

Hmmmmm_ok10:17
TsjoklatI am looking forward to this10:18
pittiTsjoklat: ubuntu installation detects all other OSses and automatically enters them into the boot menu10:18

rburtonhi pitti, morning all10:35
seb128hello rburton 10:35
Tsjoklategood afternoon rburton10:35
Tsjoklatehow is England treating you today? was cold this morning wasn't it10:35
seb128Tsjoklate: you had a question ?10:35
TsjoklateI was asking about the menus being locked or not seb10:36
seb128how locked ?10:37
Tsjoklatesince Ubuntu is deb based I was worried that Ubuntu continued the new style debian sarge has, with locking the menu editor and forcing their debian submenu upon users10:37
Tsjoklatein the main menu they have put a debian submenu.. and no way of removing it10:37
rburtonTsjoklate: the debian submenu only appears if you have the "menu" package installed10:37
rburton"they have put", it's part of gnome and has been since... 1.0 iirc10:38
rburtondef. in 1.410:38
Tsjoklatewhen I asked about it, they told me they have done that so people couldn't fiddle with it... and file bugreports when something goes haywire10:38
seb128Tsjoklate: that's not a debian hack, that's an upstream part of code10:38
jdubalso it's disabled in ubuntu10:38
Tsjoklatereally?10:38
seb128yes10:38
Tsjoklatethat is awefully odd.. since I never had that before10:38

KamionTsjoklat_away: re your earlier comments about people giving you the run-around, #debian is not exactly a shining example of usefulness in general01:25
KamionTsjoklat_away: most of the people with clue (apart from one or two heroes) can't deal with it since it's too busy and chattery, so they avoid it01:26
LoweIs my site down, or is it just me who can't access it? http://www.crystalysis.com/01:26
sanxiynKamion: #debian is quite useful, AFAICT.01:26
Kamionsanxiyn: not IME01:26
tsengjdub: hey, check out my tomboy package. the dep on newer gtkspell is pretty valid this time, configure script fails on older01:26
Kamionif they stopped referring people to #debian-boot (which is a development channel) for installer help, it would be nice :P01:26

kalisBuhu! I have no sound! i ran alsaconf and it told me that i have 3 sound cards, i decided to use my SB Live card, the alsa mixer sets the volume levels, and then nothing. No /dev/dsp doesnt exist no more ;)01:29
Kamionsanxiyn: we (i.e. #debian-boot developers) would far rather they be directed to the mailing list; we need the IRC channel to be kept reasonably quiet so we can get on with development there01:29
Kamionsanxiyn: bug reports on IRC aren't such a good idea, as a general rule ... they get lost too easily01:29

laotsesanxiyn the latest mozilla I believe tries to resolve ipv6 first01:38
sanxiynlaotse: That's one problem.01:38
laotsesanxiyn if you have ipv6 support enabled, but aren't using it, it slows things down01:38
pisukehi. is there something like planet.ubuntulinux.com?01:39
jdubpisuke: on its way this week01:39
pisukegreat. thx01:39
sanxiynlaotse: It's not that simple. Read Bugzilla #10733, #70213, #205726, #237582 for a start.01:39
sanxiynlaotse: That bug was there before IPv6 support was introduced.01:40
topylihmm. my ubuntu has kernel 2.8 but docs only for 2.701:40
laotsesanxiyn aaah ok, I'm not that up on the bugs01:40
sanxiyn(5 years old bug, possibly older.)01:40
laotsesanxiyn all I know is, I use firefox, and it works great01:40
KamionTsjoklat_away: personally, I'd much rather Debian stopped recommending #debian in any kind of public-facing place, just because it's so dreadful01:41
sanxiynlaotse: Doesn't it hang on doing unresolvable DNS lookup on some ad-heavy sites?01:41
sanxiynlaotse: Clsoing the offending tab *doesn't* work. It still slows down browsing on other tabs.01:41
Treenakssanxiyn: some DNS servers don't reply.. to AAAA queries... most notably allmusic.com (doubleclick seems fixed..)01:41
jdubKamion: heh, how about a #dhelp? ;)01:42
sanxiynTreenaks: I don't know much, but IE has no problem. :-)01:42

=== ealden [~ealden@ipdial-188-111.tri-isys.com] has joined #ubuntu
Treenakssanxiyn: maybe because IE looks for IPv4 first, and falls back to ipv6, while firefox does it the other way around? or maybe it does an A and an AAAA query in parallel... someting like that01:43
joebeastiedoh. one problem encounter so far. it is a debian installer problem and not a ubuntu problem though01:43
Kamionjoebeastie: bring it on01:44
KosaiTreenaks: AAAA has precedence in most resolvers.01:44
joebeastiewell two. installer does not ask for the essid when setting up a wireless network and two the grub config tool did not automatically find my openbsd installation.01:44
joebeastiethe new grub-setup tool in slackware current does find and name my openbsd partition correctly in menu.lst01:45
Kamionjoebeastie: it tries the 'any' essid first, and if that works it just goes ahead and uses it01:45
Kamionjoebeastie: the code to detect BSD filesystems just doesn't exist right now, I'm afraid01:45
KamionAlastair McKinstry started to write it but apparently never finished01:46
joebeastieKamion: well you might be right there. my nieghbor has a wap up and is not wep and dhcp so that might conflicted with mine01:46
KamionI'll have to have a look at grub-setup then and see if we can use its code in os-prober01:46
joebeastieKamion: i am going to tell him sooner or later about fixing his netowrk01:46
Kamionis it sanely licensed?01:46
joebeastieKamion: it is in slack so no idea01:46
Kamionjoebeastie: any idea where I can find it? I don't know slackware01:47
Kamionnor BSD, for that matter ...01:47

Keybukjdub: Garrett's Firefox Industrial theme is sweet!  Can we ship with it?  Can we?  Can we? :p01:50

Tsjoklatapt has a tool, file something, that makes you able to search for a file... so it tells you in what package it is located03:08

mwh_jdub: oh thats it, do the gnome-system-tools developers know about this issue? I guess they do, if you know what are there position on this mater?03:59
jdubmwh_: yes, they do04:00
andredjdub, Based on that theme? I think they've done most of the job already, so it probably would be wise to use it.04:00
mwh_jdub: ok04:00
jdubandred: yes, modifying it04:00
daldermancan someone tell me why I have all these devices in my volume control please: 04:00

mwh_jdub: it would be nice to have them though, like I think it would be better to have them than not having them04:00
jdubmwh_: one of the options is applying the boot stuff to the in-development disk editor04:00
jdubmwh_: not as they are04:00
mwh_jdub: clever04:01
daldermanas far as I know I only have 1 sound card in my lappy (Tosh Sat Pro A10)04:01
jdubmwh_: and certainly not in warty, too late04:01
mwh_jdub: could it be made as another package?04:01
Treenaksdalderman: a sound card and a modem, probably04:01
mwh_jdub: like not installing that package but ship with it anyways04:01
mwh_jdub: people like me ;) could then install it manually04:01
jdubmwh_: they are unsupported upstream. we're not going to support them...04:01
daldermanTreenaks, two of the panels are empty04:02
daldermanTreenaks, the second and forth04:02
mwh_jdub: does this mean only some of the package gnome-system-tools are supported? or is the whole package not supported?04:02
daldermanTreenaks, and the volume control in both seems to affect the sound, is this normal?04:02
mwh_jdub: sorry if I ask to many lame questions, im just trying to learn04:02
Treenaksdalderman: yes, that's because ALSA emulates OSS, so the OSS mixer is the same one as the ALSA mixer.. the other 2 panels are empty.. now there's a bug (it shouldn't show empty panels, probably :))04:03

Kamionhmm05:15
Tomcat_omg... that sounds so much like my problem...05:15
Kamionit will not be easy for you to just try another version of parted, I don't think05:15
Tomcat_Because some partition programs say it's a disk geometry problem... and PMagic complains about some CHS errors...05:15
Kamionunless you already have an Ubuntu system running on that disk, but presumably the partition table will already have been trashed ...05:16

Cardadorwhen you boot from the cd, there is an option to solve this kind of problem05:22
Tomcat_If it was able to automatically repair it, it's not the same problem I have.05:23
Tomcat_Mh...05:23
Cardadornot automatically05:23
Cardadorill try to find that info 05:23

Kamion_Hiro_: it's busybox, not ash09:20
AnnaI mean, how do hackers (crackers) access other people's computers? Isn't it by opening their ports?09:20
_Hiro_Kamion this is a bit specific but I use openvpn to provide me internet over the wireless network, could packages like openvpn be provided on the install disk?09:20
chutwigno09:20
KamionAnna: no, it's by exploiting things that are already listening09:20
chutwigthey use exploits in services that run at a root level, typically09:20
_Hiro_it said it created an ash shell on that ram disk09:21
KamionAnna: (generally; it's more complicated than that)09:21
Kamion_Hiro_: the text is just a bit out of date, that's all09:21
DeftAnna: it's by accessing ports that are open; ie. have a program listening on them09:21
_Hiro_I see :)09:21
marquivoni've booted from ubuntu's netboot install and reached a stage where it asks for the ubuntu mirror to be entered. i've setup my own debian repository and am using all files from the iso. though i'm able to apt-get update using my own repository in sources.list, but ubuntu not taking that properly09:21
Kamion_Hiro_: backspace has always worked for me ...09:21
_Hiro_it was too annoying to use anyway...09:21
chutwigusing a buffer overflow you can push arbitrary things into memory, and that's how exploits most commonly work09:21
Kamionmarquivon: at the moment the CD image is not a valid repository for use from netboot installs09:21
_Hiro_azerty keyboard that I use as querty during your install, maybe that's it ;)09:22
phlaegelAnna: an open port has a program listening to it (like a web server). if the web server software has a vulnerability, it can be attacked. 09:22
AnnaI see. Very interesting09:22
liffsheinlein: good point -- it isn't there anymore (just checked)09:22
Kamionmarquivon: there's a bug open about it; at the moment you need to rsync the rest of the archive down from archive.ubuntulinux.org09:22
_Hiro_a real showstopper was grub, it stopped dead at stage1.509:22
liffsheinlein: i mean, there's such a checkbox in gnome2.6 on debian sid, but looks like it's missing here09:22
marquivonKamion: actually it took a long time downloading the CD :-( 09:22
_Hiro_turned out the scsi disk was wrongly detected as disk1 when the ata disk was alive (even though BIOS is set to dictate otherwise)09:23
marquivonKamion: if i rsync, then can i save that locally on one debian machine and then setup ubuntu on another machine using those files?09:23
Kamionmarquivon: you may be able to get away with using the standard archive (not the one you put together from the ISO) before the first reboot, then using your own repository after the first reboot09:24
_Hiro_I don't know if it's feasible but a soundcard selection box would rock as well. The auto-detect actually found my BIOS disabled built-in soundcard and placed that as primary card over my SB Live :)09:24
Kamion_Hiro_: in general you need to file bugs about this kind of thing :)09:24
_Hiro_well, don't know if it's a bug even :P09:24
Kamiondubious, I guess09:24
_Hiro_it detected and installed and configured AND unmuted it perfectly09:25
marquivonmarquivon: oh. that means, i should use a mirror first (i.e. the first stage of ubuntu setup) and when it reboots i should specify my own repository?09:25
_Hiro_so that's super09:25
Kamionit would depend if it's actually possible to tell that it's BIOS-disabled09:25
DeftAnna: It's pretty hard to learn a lot from irc, you get many people saying the same thing, but not going into much depth; linux doc project/google are probably more useful09:25
Kamionmarquivon: yeah09:25
_Hiro_and the system does have multiple cards I suppose :P09:25
_Hiro_same for the pci vid card, also detected that one09:25
_Hiro_it had no monitor so that was weird when X activated that :P09:25
marquivonKamion: i think i can do the first part without any hassles, but how will i specify my own repository in the second stage?09:25
_Hiro_live and learn09:25
_Hiro_but it's my fault for not taking it out09:26
AnnaYes, Deft, I've been browsing those sites as well. 09:26
chutwigAnna: really the best way to learn anything is just to mess around with it until it breaks09:26

chutwigi like debian, but i kind of prefer rpm over dpkg09:31
AnnaHow long have you been using linux now @chutwig?09:31
mteiraThe first one is about file-roller. I selected some files, right click and create a new compressed archive.09:31
chutwigAnna: i guess i started in 1999 or 200009:32
Deftyou never relly need to see dpkg, unlike rpm09:32
subterrificphin: is kdrive stable?09:32
chutwigi'm a mac user now, so i get the positives of unix but i don't have to see it unless i want to09:32
snadeabenmwh_: hmm, what files are in the remote hosts ~/.ssh/09:32
phinsub: i belive it is09:32
mteiraI was on desktop, and the temporary files appeared on the desktop. I think this is not very clean. Shouldn't be better to create them on another (temp) directory?09:32
mwh_snadeaben: .ssh/auto* are not available09:32
chutwigDeft: i like rpm for its signing and verification09:32
phini usually compile it myself09:32
mwh_snadeaben: known_hosts(2)09:32
mteiraOf course, once the final file was created, the temporal files dissapeared.09:32
mteiraBut, anyway, it's a little ugly09:32
chutwigand rpm's ability to verify the integrity of everything registered in its database has proven invaluable before09:32
michel_v_chutwig: unless you have to killall Mail.app sometimes when it wouldn't close :/09:32

Kamionchutwig: they aren't quite in every package, but they're in most of them09:35
chutwigplus dpkg pisses me off now because it sucks at recovering from botched installs09:35
mteiraBut when you copy a file from a remote host in the network, to your desktop, and nautilus is able to show a miniature (snapshot), it's recreated a lot of times. 09:35
mteiraThis is because the file is changing all the time.09:35
_Hiro_you can use synaptic to try and repair it09:35
chutwig"these packages got corrupted when the computer crashed but you can't remove them even with -P because the scripts also got corrupted and i refuse to allow you to resolve the issue in any way"09:35
snadeabenmwh_: What if you in fact enter the passphrase for your key, does it let you log in?09:35
phinanyway, either way, this is my first install of ubuntu and its kicking ass!09:35

mteiraKamion: Perhaps I have explained it really wrong.09:37
Kamionchutwig: usually you want to edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/<whatever>.postrm, that's the main one that tends to cause an issue09:37
snadeabenmwh_: on the client machine you're logging in from, is there a id_rsa.pub file in your $HOME/.ssh?09:37

phinis adding kdrive to the next release something i would probly be better off bringing up in the mailing list?09:38
mwh_snadeaben: no09:38
Kamionchutwig: mind you, if there were a --force-continue-on-maintscript-error or whatever then it would certainly be abused, people would hose their systems and then file bugs ...09:38
mwh_snadeaben: maybe thats the problem09:38
chutwigKamion: i don't doubt it09:39
chutwigi think it would be avoidable with better error recovery on dpkg's part09:39
Kamionpeople have been known to use --force-all in the past, which is just really scary; that allows dpkg to do things like replacing directories with files09:39
chutwigit seems to have a tendency to crap itself when things go wrong09:39
Kamionchutwig: it's very good for everything except the postrm09:39

Zappa_yes it shows all the settings i put in /etc/network/interfaces11:27
joSlackeerb, hmm, might have something to do with ubuntu then. You could try making a soft symlink from the mozilla plugins dir to the firefox plugins dir.. Otherwise: no idea :-) These packages will probably get added to universe in the future11:27
Zappa_eth1      NOT READY!  ESSID:"11:27
DeftZappa_: does iwscan list the AP?11:28
Zappa_etc.11:28
Deftiwlist scan even11:28

Slackeerbjo: ok thx. Universe is a collection of ubuntu packages right?11:28

KamionSlackeerb: it's a collection of most of Debian main compiled against Ubuntu11:29
Slackeerbkamion: is this alreadu added to my aptget source?11:29
Slackeerbalready*11:29
joSlackeerb, nope...11:29
joJust add "universe" after main and restricted in your sources11:30
DeftZappa_: you might want to check the driver then; run modprobe -r <driver>, then modrobe <driver> and see if dmesg shows anything11:30
joit's easy to do with Syntaptic11:30
KamionSlackeerb: it's in /etc/apt/sources.list, but commented out.11:30
KamionSlackeerb: note that universe is totally unsupported11:30

SlackeerbKamion: whats so special about universe? (sorry for the newbness)11:30
Kamion(so if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces :-))11:30
Zappa_ohh11:31
KamionSlackeerb: universe is basically the set of everything we didn't decide to take for our smaller set of supported packages11:31
Zappa_prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3890'11:31
Zappa_eth1: could not upload firmware ('isl3890')11:31
Zappa_i think we have an answer11:31
WWDeft: OK, paperconf is now installed.11:31
DeftZappa_: ok, you can download the firmware from prism54.org11:31
SlackeerbKamion: so in other words should i leave it be? lol11:31
Zappa_yeah11:31

Slackeerbjo: you guys r confuseing me. I dont understand lol. If i do add universe to my apt source will I have the lastest packages or what?11:33
joSlackeerb, you'll have the packages Ubuntu doesn't officially support11:34
KamionSlackeerb: it's nothing to do with latest, more "different"11:34
DeftWW: not sure that adds up to 3/4 of an inch in any way, but it's worth changing; there's probably a nice GUI way to do11:34
joThat includes some of the packages from Sid yes11:34
Zappa_Deft: do you know where I'm supposed to put the firmware file?11:34
Slackeerbjo.Kamion: im going to just leave it be. My system is runnign great. =)11:35
