| jono | is the universe just debian unstable? | 12:49 |
| yojimbo-san | basically yes -it's a snapshot of sid at some $time prior to a version release | 12:49 |
| Kamion | jono: basically, yes; only main right now, although we were discussing that at the technical board meeting earlier | 12:50 |
| jono | Kamion, cool, so may non-free be made available | 12:50 |
| jono | Kamion, its worrying me a little that I may not be able to use debian packages in ubuntu | 12:51 |
| Kamion | jono: at some point soonish that will probably happen, yes, although there's still a bit of debate about the implementation | 12:51 |
| jono | ahh right | 12:51 |
| jono | Kamion, so is the idea that when Ubuntu upgrades to a new version, a simple dist-upgrade will get everyone up to date? | 12:52 |

| jono | Kamion, surely the dependencies in universe must be huge? | 12:55 |
| Kamion | jono: correct, which is why it's hard to recommend using Debian packages | 12:55 |

| Zappa_ | is there an apt souce i can add that will give me packages such as KDE? | 12:57 |

| calc | jeedee: the emachines with a newer kernel will work except for the keyboard | 01:41 |
| Keybuk | axe9dotcom: dual-booting Linux and XP when they're on separate drives *is* possible. The best way to do it is install Windows on the primary drive, then swap them so it's the slave and install Linux on the new primary drive with grub in the MBR. Then add a record for the Windows drive with "map (hd0) (hd1); map (hd1) (hd0)" in it to swap the drives around so Windows thinks it's booting from the primary drive when really isn't | 01:41 |
| calc | jeedee: i worked with lenb to get the other issues resolved over the past ~ 8mo | 01:41 |
| Cardador | Keybuk: windows is dumb ;) | 01:42 |
| jeedee | We plugged in a usb keyboard instead, then there was the vga=771 for the screen and then nolapic to make it past hdd checking | 01:42 |

| calc | Kamion: iirc yes | 01:42 |
| axe9dotcom | not at all | 01:42 |
| calc | the issue with the keyboard is it doesn't detect the ports at all, very very odd | 01:42 |
| Cardador | axe9dotcom: your partition table probably is messed up | 01:42 |
| axe9dotcom | Linux isn't even seeing my other drive | 01:42 |

| axe9dotcom | :| | 01:43 |
| Kamion | Keybuk: it's the parted c/h/s issue on 2.6 | 01:43 |
| Keybuk | axe9dotcom: that sounds more like you've snagged the cable, or possibly not plugged it in properly, or got the jumpers wrong, or some other internal issue when swapping the drives around | 01:43 |
| axe9dotcom | NO! | 01:43 |

| axe9dotcom | no, it doesnot | 01:54 |
| axe9dotcom | That's caused because of bad partitioning | 01:54 |

| whiprush | ? | 02:37 |
| whiprush | mine does. | 02:37 |

| Britt | |trey|: in what scenario is apt-get not working for you? | 02:38 |

| robertj | it forces you to actually get your privelege elevatiojn in order instead of just telling people to use root | 02:38 |
| |trey| | whiprush: sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade didn't :/ | 02:38 |

| whiprush | you need another sudo after && | 02:38 |

| whiprush | s apt-get install foo | 02:38 |

| whiprush | sudo rocks, it's just a different way of thinking. | 02:40 |
| |trey| | whiprush: justification for that is what I am looking for :) | 02:40 |
| robertj | sudo logging is handy | 02:40 |
| whiprush | like, when you fire someone at work, instead of changing all the dang root passwords, you just delete their account. | 02:40 |
| whiprush | things like that | 02:40 |
| === |trey| wouldn't give a user root access no matter what :/ | ||
| subterrific | sudo also leaves a paper trail | 02:40 |
| whiprush | and instead if a log full of "root did blah" stuff, it's per use | 02:40 |
| whiprush | yeah, what he said | 02:40 |
| whiprush | er, per user I meant. | 02:41 |
| |trey| | I would rather do things for users and have more work to do then give them root privs :/ | 02:41 |
| GoneBoB | sudo is good | 02:41 |
| subterrific | to use marketing speak, its accountable | 02:41 |
| subterrific | or something | 02:41 |
| |trey| | Users having root is just asking for trouble imo | 02:41 |
| whiprush | right | 02:41 |
| GoneBoB | so if you're the sysadmin | 02:41 |
| whiprush | that's the best part | 02:41 |
| whiprush | you can granularly assign permissions | 02:41 |
| GoneBoB | but your manager says you need to give the application manager root | 02:41 |
| GoneBoB | but he's a dick | 02:42 |
| GoneBoB | you give him sudo access | 02:42 |
| whiprush | so on your one box, the db admin can only mess with the db, the web guy can only mess with apache | 02:42 |
| whiprush | instead of giving root to everyone. | 02:42 |

| whiprush | aren't you supposed to use cifs instead of smbfs? | 02:57 |
| |trey| | mount -t smbfs //some/unc/on/network /somewhere/on/local/fs | 02:57 |
| === whiprush has no idea, he just heard that | ||
| |trey| | whiprush: depends if the share is on windows or unix... | 02:57 |
| whiprush | oh oh | 02:57 |
| |trey| | smbfs = windows... cifs = unix... | 02:57 |
| housetier | |trey|, I thought the point was to not use the command line all the time to make it less fearsome for Joe Average | 02:57 |
| |trey| | housetier: *shrug* some things are easier via cli :/ | 02:58 |
| housetier | |trey|, I don't think so. Its more how much one is used to cli or gui | 02:58 |
| |trey| | Even in the windows world, I use cli to mount shares :/ | 02:58 |
| housetier | that's YOU | 02:59 |
| housetier | others might find using a gui much easier | 02:59 |
| |trey| | *shrug* its anyone that knows how :/ | 02:59 |
| whiprush | wait | 02:59 |
| whiprush | you want to mount an smb share? | 02:59 |
| |trey| | whiprush: someone did :/ | 02:59 |
| whiprush | open up nautilus, file->Connect to server | 03:00 |
| housetier | |trey|, you should cheer up :) | 03:00 |
| whiprush | fill in the stuff | 03:00 |
| whiprush | done and done. | 03:00 |
| housetier | smile! :D | 03:00 |
| |trey| | housetier: blah... I don't smile :/ | 03:00 |
| housetier | ok I overstepped a line there, sorry | 03:00 |
| |trey| | housetier: I also don't help morons... I teach the right way... they can learn the "easy" way from someone else :/ | 03:01 |
| |trey| | Funny how the "easy" way always has more steps though... | 03:01 |
| housetier | no that's a contradiction | 03:01 |
| housetier | now* | 03:01 |
| |trey| | housetier: EXACTLY my point... the easy way SHOULDN'T take long... but it ALWAYS does... | 03:02 |
| |trey| | longer* | 03:02 |

| whiprush | well, the sharing part isn't done graphically just yet, the mounting is though | 03:12 |
| housetier | logic is still a matter of perception and personal preference, especially when it come to cli vs gui | 03:12 |
| subterrific | |trey|: its not brain dead, some people are visual. insulting them is brain dead | 03:12 |
| whiprush | best way to share is to probably google for example smb.conf files and base your shares off of that | 03:12 |
| |trey| | subterrific: then I'm brain dead... mean while, the dude would have the share mounted by now if he did what I said... | 03:13 |
| housetier | no he wouldnt | 03:13 |
| subterrific | |trey|: i'm with you, i use the cli all the time. i can't stand using IDEs for example, i'd much rather use makefiles and gdb on the cli | 03:13 |
| housetier | there is no share to be mounted | 03:13 |
| |trey| | housetier: umm... how you figure? | 03:13 |
| housetier | |trey|, there are directories to be shared | 03:13 |

| subterrific | he wants to be able to share both ways | 03:15 |
| housetier | I can't cope with this anymore | 03:16 |

| mojo | hey ppl, I got a pal working a Adobe, he said Adobe now is considering to port Adobe Acrobat Reader motif to GTK2+, the plan has been subitted for consideration, happy news | 04:19 |
| subterrific | Tsjoklat: no idea, but i leave the machine sitting idle and when i come in the next morning its frozen | 04:19 |
| Tsjoklat | do you have your power savings on? | 04:19 |
| Tsjoklat | I always disable that | 04:19 |
| subterrific | nope | 04:19 |
| subterrific | me too because it never works | 04:19 |
| Tsjoklat | had the same problem | 04:19 |
| Tsjoklat | do you have powertweak installed? | 04:20 |
| subterrific | and this lock up actually just happened about 10 minutes ago while i was trying to talk to jdub about his laptop | 04:20 |
| jdub | oh go on | 04:20 |
| jdub | blame me | 04:20 |
| Tsjoklat | you are on a lap? | 04:20 |

| jward | aitrus: can't help you, my laptop (with ubuntu) isn't with me ... are you on the same machine right now (i.e. network connection is up and running?) | 04:20 |
| subterrific | no powertweak installed | 04:20 |
| joem | is there an easy way/documentation to install ubuntu from the live cd | 04:20 |
| aitrus | jward: yup yup | 04:21 |
| Tsjoklat | taht is the weirdest thing.. mmmm I would still recheck the powersavings again.. just to be abso sure | 04:21 |

| subterrific | Tsjoklat: you mean the powersaving stuff in the screensaver setup? | 04:22 |
| jward | joem: have you started the install process? it's fairly easy, even for a newbie, unless you are uncomfortable with partitioning a non-empty machine | 04:22 |
| Tsjoklat | yes | 04:22 |
| Tsjoklat | you have to check it all.. and push the sliders to the left so it will say: disable | 04:22 |
| Tsjoklat | that always does the trick for me | 04:22 |
| subterrific | everything is disabled, the screensaver is set to blank screen only | 04:23 |
| subterrific | i can try disabling that even | 04:23 |
| subterrific | but blank screen has never caused me problems | 04:23 |
| Tsjoklat | oh well then I think you found the problem | 04:23 |
| joem | jward, It isn't that, the install cd has hardware detection problems and fails, but I can boot fine from the live cd | 04:23 |
| Tsjoklat | you should be able to disable that | 04:23 |
| subterrific | ok, i'll try that | 04:23 |
| Tsjoklat | do you have xscreensaver installed? | 04:24 |
| subterrific | well yeah, its installed by default right? | 04:24 |
| Tsjoklat | not sure | 04:24 |
| Tsjoklat | perhaps reinstall the bugger again? it's too odd that you can't disable it | 04:25 |
| subterrific | i can | 04:25 |
| Tsjoklat | it sounds like it is trying to do powersavings of some sort and then kills your box | 04:25 |
| subterrific | and i just did | 04:25 |
| jward | joem: I had to disable some usb stuff the first time with the install cd, wasn't happy with my USB hub built in to my monitor, you should be able to do some tweakign with the boot options on the install cd. | 04:25 |
| subterrific | Tsjoklat: thats what i thought too, but it just did it while i was using the machine | 04:25 |
| joem | jward, have tried quite a few options, it bails not being able to find a cd rom drive | 04:25 |
| Tsjoklat | well the powersavings may be set to ten mins.. you don't know do you? | 04:26 |
| joem | but I will check it out some more | 04:26 |
| jward | joem: bummer, when did the live CD come out ... I didn't know it was ready ... | 04:26 |
| Tsjoklat | since you can't even disable it | 04:26 |
| subterrific | it is set to 10 minutes | 04:26 |
| subterrific | Tsjoklat: i can disable it, and i just did | 04:26 |
| subterrific | CAN | 04:26 |
| subterrific | but i wasn't idle for 10 minutes | 04:26 |
| subterrific | i was using the mouse when it died | 04:26 |
| Tsjoklat | are you able to check the power savings thing? | 04:27 |
| mojo | joem, sub, Tsjok: u guys know how to define the icon for a device when mount in GNOME? I plug in my USB and in My Computer the icon is just a normal drive icon, not the USB icon that I want, have any idea? | 04:27 |
| Tsjoklat | you have to check the box and then slide the sliders to the left | 04:27 |
| subterrific | Tsjoklat: all boxes are unchecked, like i said | 04:27 |
| Tsjoklat | check them | 04:27 |
| joem | jward, don't think it is official yet, http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2004-September/000297.html | 04:27 |
| Tsjoklat | check the power savings.. check the three underneath that | 04:28 |
| joem | mojo, right click properties - select custom icon? | 04:28 |
| Tsjoklat | slide the things to the left | 04:28 |
| Tsjoklat | apply/ok and see what it does then | 04:28 |
| subterrific | Tsjoklat: there are no sliders, you're confused with OS X | 04:28 |
| Tsjoklat | no I am not lol | 04:28 |
| Tsjoklat | there are three underneath it | 04:29 |
| subterrific | there are 3 edit fields with spinner controls, no sliders | 04:29 |
| Tsjoklat | same deal | 04:30 |
| Tsjoklat | all I know is, you got to check 'em, and move them to the left so it says: disabled | 04:30 |
| Tsjoklat | let me check again.. sliders/spinners | 04:31 |
| subterrific | Tsjoklat: you're really confusing this with the OS X UI, it doesn't work like that at all | 04:31 |
| subterrific | there is a single check box that disables it | 04:31 |
| subterrific | i know what problem you're describing, and that is not what is happening | 04:32 |

| Tsjoklat | alright.. you are right, but if the monitor doesn't go to sleep.. what do you mean then? it just dies? your box? | 04:33 |

| schweeb | try alsa-base | 06:24 |
| wm_eddie | I already installed that. | 06:25 |
| wm_eddie | I did apt-get update an hour ago too. | 06:25 |
| schweeb | hrm | 06:26 |
| schweeb | it's not installed on my box anymore either | 06:26 |
| schweeb | maybe that's intentional | 06:26 |
| wm_eddie | it was installed before | 06:26 |
| schweeb | yes | 06:26 |
| wm_eddie | but then I re-installed it because it wasn't working. | 06:26 |

| schweeb | clee: maybe I will someday | 07:13 |

| schweeb | I know why the HIG is useful and all... that doesn't mean all of its decisions make sense | 07:13 |
| joem | schweeb: where is the sense in the tools menu | 07:14 |
| clee | schweeb: of course. | 07:14 |
| joem | what does editing prefs have to do with tools | 07:14 |
| clee | schweeb: however, the point is that all apps should comply with the HIG fully whereever the HIG has something to say | 07:14 |
| clee | schweeb: And when the HIG is wrong, then the apps will all be consistently wrong | 07:14 |
| clee | schweeb: Then when the HIG is fixed, all of the apps will become consistently fixed | 07:14 |
| jamesh | schweeb: what should an app do if it has no other items to go in the tools menu? | 07:14 |
| schweeb | joem: look at your edit menu, is there anything else in there similar to editing preferences? | 07:15 |
| joem | depends on the app, in epiphany I have personal data and toolbar | 07:15 |
| schweeb | the configuration applet for a program is a "tool" | 07:15 |
| joem | no it isn't, prefs are something you edit | 07:16 |
| === schweeb shakes his head | ||
| schweeb | I'm done. | 07:16 |
| joem | though if fire fox is going to be consistant with it, they should move themes to edit as well | 07:17 |
| joem | becuase that is very similar to prefs, and they should be in the same menu | 07:17 |
| schweeb | really, the hig should have called for a new "Preferences" menu or something | 07:17 |
| schweeb | and edit should be "Text" | 07:18 |
| schweeb | or similar | 07:18 |
| joem | that just creates more options then needed | 07:18 |
| === clee is a fan of MacOS X's <App> menu in the menubar | ||
| clee | with <App> -> Preferences... | 07:18 |
| schweeb | because in all pre-HIG apps anywhere... edit was almost exclusively text tools | 07:18 |
| schweeb | find, cut,copy, paste, etc... | 07:19 |
| joem | some smaller apps don't include/need those options | 07:20 |

| subterrific | file a bug? | 08:21 |
| WW | Britt: Actually, I haven't had problems, but eventually I need to install MATLAB (a commercial mathematics product). According to there docs, their latest release requires kernel 2.4.x. | 08:22 |
| WW | their* | 08:22 |
| Britt | subterrific: what does 'lsof -i | grep vino' report? | 08:23 |
| Britt | WW: you should have no problems then ... 'sudo apt-cache search kernel-image' | 08:23 |
| subterrific | Britt: nothing :( | 08:23 |
| WW | Britt: The MATLAB docs also so they require glibc (glibc6) 2.2.5. How would I check that? | 08:24 |
| subterrific | if i run vino-server in a term, it seems to work fine | 08:24 |
| Britt | subterrific: yes I'd guess that's a bug then. I haven't touched vino from cli and it works by default here | 08:24 |
| Britt | mbselv0@lacasa ~ $ lsof -i | grep vino | 08:25 |
| Britt | vino-serv 4947 mbselv0 32u IPv4 10875 TCP *:5900 (LISTEN) | 08:25 |
| subterrific | Britt: yeah, it worked on my other ubuntu machine | 08:25 |
| subterrific | sucks cause i turned it on here before i went to work, planning on testing it from work | 08:25 |

| plovs_ | are there plans for nxserver/viewer? | 08:27 |
| subterrific | did this crazy mirroring effect | 08:27 |
| Britt | WW: or if you are looking for info on a package you are going to install, apt-cache show pkgname | 08:27 |
| WW | plovs_: I don't think so. | 08:27 |
| subterrific | plovs_: i heard there are plans to consider it | 08:27 |
| subterrific | plovs_: it might have even been mentioned in the osnews interview | 08:28 |
| Britt | subterrific: yeah that's what i got as well ... wonder if thats an ubuntu thing | 08:28 |
| plovs_ | it is nicer/faster then vnc | 08:28 |
| subterrific | yeah, screen style session management :) | 08:28 |
| WW | plovs_: My previous comment was about your question about aptitude. | 08:28 |
| Britt | but can it access the active desktop session? | 08:28 |
| Britt | I played with it for a few min the other day and couldn't get it to do that | 08:28 |
| plovs_ | Britt, I do not have a root password (that's ok) but when I run aptitude, it will ask me for it | 08:29 |
| Britt | plovs_: it should be asking for your user passwd | 08:30 |
| Britt | (even if it's described incorrectly in aptitude) | 08:30 |
| WW | Britt: Thanks for the pointers. If I can get MATLAB working, I just might be able to keep this nifty installation. | 08:31 |
| Britt | if that's not the case it's a bug (and if that is the case and it's described incorrectly it's a bug :) | 08:31 |

| WW | Britt: You know, I haven't tried it in 2.6. That couldn't hurt anything, could it? | 08:32 |
| Britt | WW: definitely not | 08:32 |
| plovs_ | Britt, it will ask for my userpasswd if I do: sudo aptitude , it will ask for root password if I install a package from aptitude if I called it without sudo | 08:33 |
| plovs_ | Britt, or should I go and have a coffee? | 08:34 |
| Britt | plovs_: the first part is correct ... the second is a bug | 08:35 |
| phlaegel | why is that a bug? sudo runs as root, so logically the app should ask for root passwd when called without sudo. | 08:35 |
| plovs_ | phlaegel, it is not a debian bug but it is an ubuntu-bug as ubuntu banned root | 08:36 |
| plovs_ | phlaegel, and it won't work without root | 08:36 |
| WW | Britt: ??? apt-get install Utopia-love ??? | 08:36 |
| phlaegel | that's why sudo is set up... | 08:36 |
| === tvon|x31 [tvon@dsl093-119-225.blt1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Britt | phlaegel: right ... but specific to ubuntu, if run without sudo it should ask for the users password, not root. I'm not sure how this is going to be handled within third party apps like aptitude though | 08:38 |
| plovs_ | Britt, is aptitude an ubuntu-native app or did I pull it in from universe? | 08:38 |
| Britt | WW: Utopia is the project that includes HAL, dbus, and gnome-volume-manager (amongst other things) that make things like usbkey/cd/digi camera autodetection possible | 08:39 |
| === conekg [cone@P-5.231.EUnet.yu] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| phlaegel | to do that right(ish), apps that need root would have to implicitly call sudo... | 08:39 |
| Britt | WW: they depend on having a 2.6 kernel though | 08:39 |
| Britt | plovs_: I believe it's native, but don't quote me on that. | 08:40 |
| subterrific | phlaegel: you can make a launcher for the app that runs it with gksudo, that is what ubuntu is doing for all of the other apps that need root | 08:40 |
| plovs_ | Britt, I'll just file it as a bug and then we'll see (I like filing bugs) | 08:41 |
| subterrific | everything in the system configuration menu is that way | 08:41 |
| Britt | plovs_: great :) | 08:42 |
| subterrific | phlaegel: synaptic works the same way | 08:42 |
| phlaegel | subterrific: what about cli? or other apps? I'm not sure there's a clean way to really "fix" it. | 08:42 |
| subterrific | cli apps you run using sudo or run with a root term (sudo -s) | 08:43 |
| phlaegel | gksudo is kind of an illusory fix, imho | 08:43 |
| subterrific | i suppose, but it works | 08:43 |
| phlaegel | yeah, it works fine, I have no problem with it as it is. that's why I'm questioning the bug :-) | 08:43 |
| subterrific | if you're digging around finding apps like aptitude or command line apps, you need to know how sudo works | 08:44 |
| subterrific | if you don't, you're protected | 08:44 |
| ish | tvon|x31: seems to be an incompatibility with -n and --no-desktop.. | 08:45 |
| tvon|x31 | ish:oh,heh | 08:45 |
| subterrific | phlaegel: you wouldn't want someone to run any random command line app and have it ask them for their user password to gain root access | 08:45 |
| tvon|x31 | ish: well, if you want --no-desktop and no window to show up, what do you want to happen? | 08:45 |
| tvon|x31 | ish: youre basically asking for nothing to happen | 08:46 |
| subterrific | very bad things can happen, there is a reason you have a limited number of setuid apps | 08:46 |
| ish | tvon|x31: need it running so when I click on the trash applet, or home.. | 08:46 |

| tvon|x31 | ish: yeah, I see the problem now | 08:48 |

| mdz | subterrific: I understand; it's equally tough for us, though, when we can't get more information about the problem | 08:56 |
| subterrific | plovs_: its more of a security thing. you would not want to give aptitude suid root | 08:56 |
| subterrific | mdz: yeah, the bug report was more just to let you and other users know that there is indeed a problem. up until the other guy chimed in i figured i was alone in having that issue. | 08:57 |

| Treenaks | instead of those services using well-known port numbers defined by IANA... aka /etc/services | 09:13 |
| plovs_ | yes it was on the mailinglist, fam needs it open, is being worked on, no more questions then | 09:14 |

| leex30 | Is ubuntu designed to easily upgrade from CD when the next release is out? Would one have to reinstall the system? | 09:27 |
| Mithrandir | leex30: upgrades are supported, yes | 09:27 |
| jdub | leex30: from CD and 'net | 09:27 |
| |trey| | Ubuntu is Debian... but Debian is not Ubuntu, yeah, something like that :) | 09:27 |
| |trey| | jdub: still keeping busy 8-) | 09:27 |
| matt2 | I had no idea.... | 09:28 |
| Treenaks | jdub: do you ever sleep? | 09:28 |
| aj | jdub: any idea where the warty Release.gpg key is? | 09:28 |
| Solkaris | what multimedia support like so far .. IE how hard is it to get DVD and MP3 Playback working | 09:28 |
| aj | jsub: (/misc/daily_signing_key.asc is a different one) | 09:28 |
| Mithrandir | aj! long time no see. | 09:28 |
| matt2 | I figured out why my themes didn't install into /usr/share/themes.. haha xfce4-themes is a package of ICON themes.... =P | 09:28 |
| |trey| | aj: blah.... /etc/apt/list.sources tells you... | 09:28 |
| aj | i'm trying to upgrade from sarge to warty, i don't have an install yet | 09:29 |
| |trey| | If you know how to read it... man sources.list (I'm high, wrong way around) | 09:29 |
| ish | Is it possible to edit the 'Computer' menu? | 09:29 |
| |trey| | One is wrong at least :/ | 09:29 |
| jdub | aj: hrm, not sure. elmo or lamont would know. | 09:29 |
| jdub | Treenaks: i'm in .au. | 09:29 |
| jdub | aj: upgrades are going to hurt. | 09:29 |
| |trey| | ish: yes... it was configured somehow... I forget where the vfolder is that configures it though... | 09:30 |
| aj | jdub: pfft | 09:30 |
| aj | jdub: my last upgrade stopped me from being able to suspend or switch to VCs without crashing X, how much worse can this be? | 09:30 |
| |trey| | aj: 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted' | 09:31 |
| Solkaris | is there going to be a forum at some point like the GentooForums? | 09:31 |

| |trey| | jdub: if he chooses "manual package selection" then adds that... it should install your wonderful 2.8 :) | 09:32 |
| jdub | aj: one wonders if there's much of a point ;) | 09:32 |
| aj | trey: yes, but where do i get the key that signed http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/warty/Release.gpg ? | 09:32 |
| aj | jdub: there's always the hope of ubuntu/dists/warty-security getting populated some day... | 09:33 |
| |trey| | aj: apt 0.6 is not in warty... thus there might not be one... perhaps try hoarty (or however its spelled...) | 09:33 |
| aj | hoary's empty, and Release.gpg's got a signature, and i've got a script for verifying them... | 09:33 |

| |trey| | 0.6 is in Experimental... its pretty nice :) so is 2.8 (last I checked) ... experimental broke though, so I figured thats a bad idea :( | 09:35 |
| aj | experimental broke? | 09:35 |
| |trey| | Ubuntu 2.8 is nicer though... more logical, and closer to how I like it :) | 09:35 |
| |trey| | aj: [gasp] | 09:36 |
| aj | as in the packages in experimental broke, or..? | 09:36 |
| Mithrandir | aj: or you could poke Kamion, I think he might know and have access to get the key out. | 09:36 |
| fabbione | humpf.. | 09:36 |
| leex30 | So I can upgrade from sarge to ubuntu by putting 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted' in /etc/apt/sources.list and running 'apt-get dist-upgrade'? | 09:36 |
| |trey| | aj: it tends to do that if you don't pay attention to b.d.o | 09:36 |

| leex30 | I'm hoping to get my printer/scanner to work. That's my real test.. | 09:38 |
| |trey| | topyli: When something breaks, I usually try new distro's that I have been meaning to test usually... works out... tryed Fedora for a while... and then went to Debian again before finding Ubuntu... looked like a nice GNOME... so here I am 8-) | 09:39 |
| topyli | leex30: ouch. a multi-function device... good luck :) | 09:39 |
| matt2 | my printer worked out of the box.. crazy enough | 09:40 |
| leex30 | the hp psc1210 worked great for a while.. then it stopped working altogether | 09:40 |
| matt2 | though I don't have the correct drivers yet.. it gets the job done for now though | 09:40 |
| |trey| | (mainly the trash applet and the 'computer' menu is why I'm here... I hate icons on my desktop :( | 09:40 |

| aj | jdub: (when's planet ubuntu happening anyway? i wanna see elmo blogging) | 09:42 |
| matt2 | like gentoo alot too but things tend to break and I hate compile times =( | 09:42 |
| |trey| | Ubuntu's GNOME is... yes... but with GNOME's release manager at the helm, its bound to be pretty good :) | 09:42 |
| topyli | mandrake is great. it saved me from redhat 6. then debian saved me from rpm altogether. | 09:42 |
| leex30 | so will every ubuntu release be strictly free software? | 09:42 |

| WW | Easy question: How do I get nautilus (or whatever else is easiest) to burn an iso to CD? I usually used k3b B.U. (Before Ubuntu). | 10:05 |

| |trey| | WW: I use cdrecord... for iso's... (2.6) cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc --speed=24 --data blah.iso... for music... I think its --audio | 10:07 |
| plovs_ | WW, if your burner allows it, I checked allow overburning in configuration-editor | 10:07 |
| subterrific | is anyone aware of an application that makes it very easy to encrypt files (with gpg perhaps?). bonus points if it integrates with nautilus | 10:07 |

| WW | plovs_: I did something like that the first time, but it just copied the file to the CD, and didn't create the image. I'll try again. | 10:08 |
| |trey| | Mithrandir: nm | 10:08 |
| plovs_ | WW, use an rw just in case ;) | 10:09 |
| |trey| | WW: what I said with --data works for iso's... if you want to use cli | 10:09 |
| topyli | WW: that's how i burned my ubuntu cd, so it worked in gnome 2.6 at least :) | 10:09 |
| WW | I'd like to get the hang of this groovy new Gnome GUI. | 10:10 |
| |trey| | (cdrecord dev=device --speed=blah --data some.iso | 10:10 |
| |trey| | I usually end up with an iso on the disc like you... cdrecord does it how I want :/ | 10:10 |
| topyli | we need a gtk2 version of xcdroast | 10:11 |
| WW | The right-click trick worked. I think I screwed up the first time because when I put the blank CD in, an empty window popped up, so I just drag-n-dropped the ISO into it, and wrote to disk. | 10:12 |

| subterrific | |trey|: i think you and i will have to agree to disagree on what good hip hop is | 10:21 |
| tcurdt | hi, guys ...don't wanna interupt the music discussion :-) ...but is there a package list for ubuntu? | 10:21 |
| |trey| | subterrific: would sound like ICP, Doomsday Productions, or Kotten Mouth Kings :) | 10:21 |
| tcurdt | or even searchable? like packages.debian.org | 10:22 |
| subterrific | |trey|: blackalicious? | 10:22 |
| |trey| | subterrific: good = popular.... chill hip hop is Dialated Peoples, Pharcyde... Alkaholics... Jaru... | 10:22 |
| |trey| | blackalicious is ok... Jurasic 5 and The Roots are better :) | 10:23 |
| |trey| | Pretty much anything outta LA... | 10:23 |
| topyli | tcurdt: i haven't seen one :( | 10:23 |
| subterrific | good is not popular, popular is what sells because its played over and over and over again | 10:23 |
| |trey| | good = sells the most units... at least to most people... | 10:24 |
| topyli | subterrific: what sells is popular, that much is safe to say :) | 10:24 |

| |trey| | for* | 10:25 |
| topyli | |trey|: that makes windows 98 better than debian :) | 10:25 |
| subterrific | i'd put blackalicious on the same level as jurassic 5, the roots are amazing as always but i don't hear them doing anything new | 10:25 |
| |trey| | topyli: absolutly nothing... but some would argue for NT though... | 10:25 |
| topyli | it has sold more | 10:25 |
| subterrific | |trey|: so by that measure titanic is the best movie of all time, and the backstreet boys are better than any hiphop artist in existance | 10:26 |
| topyli | yes! | 10:26 |
| |trey| | There is evidence XP is the most used Windows OS... followed by 98, then 2000... you have to think of time frame... | 10:26 |
| topyli | hmm. is there so much xp already? | 10:26 |
| subterrific | no | 10:26 |

| |trey| | Most of what I hear is in clubs, or on Audio1.net... | 10:31 |
| subterrific | |trey|: i think if any of those bands you named were backed by as much publicity as pop music, they would reach the same level of popularity. outkast proved that | 10:31 |

| |trey| | subterrific: oh... definatly j5... don't really like blackalicious... same mould as (some afrikan name) | 10:33 |

| TerminX | Lowe: I think a lot of Linux users are of the "anything but Microsoft" mindset | 10:44 |

| subterrific | |trey|: as a mac user since 87, i think i can safely say, you aren't missing much | 10:44 |
| topyli | macs work. the cheap pc hardware i'm always byuing is what sucks | 10:44 |
| TerminX | I too think Apple sucks | 10:44 |
| === TerminX shrugs | ||
| topyli | so its a hardware thing | 10:44 |
| TerminX | Overpriced, undercompatible shit IMO | 10:44 |

| |trey| | Treenaks: exactly... | 10:45 |
| topyli | OSX looks like a toy though. i'd put X and gnome there at once :) | 10:46 |

| Tomcat_ | I like OS X... | 10:46 |
| subterrific | gnome does a much better job of keeping consistent across all applications, visually at least | 10:46 |
| |trey| | The OpenNet or whatever will be great when I figure out how to use it :/ | 10:46 |
| subterrific | apple has this weird thing going where they can't decide why the hell they came up with brushed metal | 10:47 |
| |trey| | subterrific: I certainly couldn't tell them :/ | 10:47 |
| subterrific | first it was only for apps that mimic real world devices | 10:47 |
| topyli | |trey|: if you put in a cdrw with stuff on it, the volume manager mounts it. then nautilus cd burner gets confused. you have to umount from the command line because nautilus can only "eject" it, not "umount" :( | 10:47 |
| subterrific | then they make safari brushed metal | 10:47 |
| |trey| | It's Carbon vs Cocoa though... | 10:47 |
| subterrific | and then the finder | 10:47 |
| subterrific | and now i've totally lost them... | 10:48 |
| subterrific | i think the mac platform has far fewer good developers too | 10:48 |
| subterrific | apple has done just about everything they can to push developers away over the years | 10:49 |
| |trey| | Developers.a.c... Cocoa and Carbon... look them up... Carbon is older shit updated for OS X basically... but they have different themes... | 10:49 |
| subterrific | its gotten to the point that the few good ones left are just traded around by apple, adobe, macromedia (although their mac apps have taken a nose dive recently) | 10:49 |
| |trey| | Guess a few people still like Carbon... | 10:50 |
| subterrific | you have to use carbon still for many things | 10:50 |
| |trey| | subterrific: apple started competing with adobe, and to some extent macromedia though... thats why... | 10:50 |
| subterrific | driving developers away | 10:51 |
| subterrific | they even compete with small shareware developers | 10:51 |
| |trey| | The products basically aren't needed, because these are things Apple already installs.... | 10:51 |
| |trey| | Or offers... | 10:51 |
| |trey| | Joe User won't go past Apple.com if what he wants is listed there... he obviously doesn't care about money... | 10:51 |
| |trey| | Things like Microsoft Office... and Micrsoft Virtual PC - Windows XP... | 10:53 |
| |trey| | Thats why they are popular... | 10:53 |
| |trey| | You can also use basically the entire Open Source software relm, and work on Darwin though... and plenty of Open Source projects are being used... | 10:54 |
| |trey| | Hardly pushing devs away... Jordan Hubbard didn't appear to think so at least... | 10:55 |
| |trey| | Co Founder of FreeBSD... | 10:55 |
| |trey| | He appeared to think they were an attractive oppertunity for a developer... X11 for OSX... its all there for Open Source software... and Fink is Debian's package management... Gentoo's Portage can be used... | 10:56 |
| tcurdt | to be honest: it's less the GUI that drives people to use OSX (btw: I like it) ...it's the easy installation and the software that's available | 10:57 |
| Lowe | holy crap how many upgrades are there lol, does ubuntu have new ones every day. | 10:57 |
| subterrific | |trey|: try using some open source software on darwin or OS X, its way behind linux | 10:57 |
| |trey| | Lowe: the Release Preview would be expected to perhaps....yes... | 10:57 |
| subterrific | for exmaple, Fink is now shipping gnome 2.4....wooo! | 10:57 |
| tcurdt | as for the installation we are slowly getting there | 10:57 |
| |trey| | subterrific: I actually have ran Darwin on X86... its not too bad actually... although its not Linux :/ | 10:58 |
| Lowe | well it's nice to have a distro that's kept uptodate | 10:58 |
| |trey| | Lowe: meet apt :) | 10:58 |
| subterrific | one of the biggest reasons i left the mac is because i wanted open source software and good package management. gentoo wasn't available on the mac at the time. | 10:59 |

| jono | ok | 11:27 |
| jono | subterrific, http://paste.plone.org/1468 | 11:27 |
| subterrific | jono: so you're all set at the kernel level | 11:27 |
| subterrific | my guess is that you've got the volume all at 0 ;) | 11:28 |
| subterrific | thats the ALSA default | 11:28 |
| subterrific | so you probably need to run a mixer and unmute some channels and turn the volume up | 11:28 |
| subterrific | you can try Applications->Multimedia->Volume Control and switch to the tab labeled [ALSA Mixer] | 11:29 |
| subterrific | but this http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=1040 suggests that you install some app named envy24control. so try that if alsamixer doesn't work | 11:30 |
| jono | subterrific, ok, I adjusted all of them - unlocked and unmuted them all and the same problem - do I need to restart NGOME? | 11:30 |
| subterrific | shouldn't, what are you using to play audio? | 11:31 |

| xsad | it doesn't recognize keys like @ | 11:40 |
| Tomcat_ | Unfortunately I'm away when he speaks. :o | 11:40 |
| subterrific | jono: sounds good, good production | 11:40 |
| Treenaks | don't forget to tell him you use Linux | 11:40 |

| jono | subterrific, just done in my bedroom | 11:40 |
| subterrific | jono: i'm pretty amatuer http://subterrific.net/~jason/blacktape.mp3 | 11:41 |
| jono | subterrific, check out Presence too - I was really pleased with that | 11:41 |
| topyli | joebeastie: i'm sure rms does have a tip or two for vi users :) | 11:41 |
| subterrific | i never manage to make it to the stage of actually correctly mixing the tracks. i just end up with up with a bunch of half finished tracks of first takes and drum loops | 11:42 |
| jono | subterrific, mixing is my fave bit - I just need better mic's | 11:42 |
| jono | subterrific, sounds good :) | 11:44 |
| jono | subterrific, the key is not adding more, but taking out more | 11:44 |
| subterrific | i wish i could get into it, but i just enjoy playing. its more of a hobby | 11:44 |
| jono | ahhh right | 11:44 |
| jono | jees I havent heard Fragile for ages | 11:45 |
| subterrific | jono: oh definitely, thats the problem with that blacktape track for instance, you can't hear half the tracks because they're all there all the time at the same level | 11:46 |
| jono | I havent heard Presence for ages either hehe | 11:50 |

| jono | anyone know if lame is packaged for ubuntu? | 11:55 |
| subterrific | jono: it isn't | 11:55 |
| subterrific | but its packaged for debian | 11:56 |
| jono | I need an MP3 encoder that sound juicer can use | 11:56 |
| jono | if I install lame for debian, will it work though? | 11:56 |
| subterrific | yes | 11:56 |
| jono | where are the lame packages? | 11:56 |
| subterrific | http://hpisi.nerim.net/ | 11:56 |
| jono | surely unofficial packages will break ubuntu when I upgrade to the next release? | 11:58 |
| Treenaks | jono: they might | 11:59 |
| jono | I assume I just uninstall the package then | 11:59 |
| jono | and it would work | 11:59 |
| subterrific | jono: just try to keep it to a minimum | 11:59 |
| subterrific | plus, lame will probably never be packaged officially by ubuntu | 11:59 |
| Treenaks | I only installed libdvdcss from there.. oh and the w32codecs | 11:59 |
| jono | ahhh cool, no dependencies needed | 12:00 |
| subterrific | jono: that repos is pretty strictly stuff that can't ever be official | 12:00 |
| jono | I need sound juicer to have an mp3 encoder, so I installed lame and now it says gstreamer doesnt work | 12:01 |
| subterrific | copyright issues, yay america land of freedom | 12:01 |
| jono | could not create gstreamer encoder | 12:01 |
| Lowe | add this to get all that audio stuff http://www.rarewares.org/debian/packages/unstable/ ./ | 12:01 |
| Treenaks | jono: encode to ogg then.. | 12:01 |
| jono | Treenaks, I need to encode to MP3 - for my iRiver database to work | 12:01 |
| jono | how can I make gstreamer do this? | 12:01 |
| Treenaks | jono: you'll probably need a re-compiled gstreamer | 12:01 |
| Treenaks | which tends to be Hard | 12:02 |
| subterrific | uhh no | 12:02 |
| subterrific | gstreamer is plugin based | 12:02 |
| Treenaks | subterrific: yes, but you'll need the gstreamer plugin then | 12:02 |
| jono | I am getting gstreamer-plugins | 12:02 |
| |trey| | subterrific: Ubuntu should install gstreamer0.8-plugins-ffmpeg by default... | 12:04 |
| subterrific | |trey|: it can't | 12:05 |
| |trey| | Especially if they will be sticking with totem-gstreamer... | 12:05 |
| |trey| | why? | 12:05 |
| Treenaks | subterrific: why not? ffmpeg itself is free.. | 12:05 |
| |trey| | totem-gstreamer is useless without codecs... | 12:05 |
| subterrific | |trey|: ffmpeg violates US copyright law, wooo go USA! | 12:05 |
| Treenaks | subterrific: it does? how? | 12:05 |
| subterrific | it includes an mp3 encoder for one | 12:06 |
| |trey| | subterrific: put the server in a devs house in Mexico or something :/ | 12:06 |

| |trey| | so it recommends 0.6 OR 0.8.. oh, I see... | 12:11 |
| |trey| | subterrific: thankyou :) | 12:11 |
| |trey| | gstreamer0.8-plugins-misc depends that :) | 12:11 |
| subterrific | i've never used alien though, so no idea how well it works | 12:12 |
| subterrific | rpm->deb seems kind of sketchy | 12:12 |
| |trey| | subterrific: he posted a deb... | 12:12 |
| subterrific | which was created from the rpm using alien | 12:12 |
| subterrific | read the email | 12:12 |
| |trey| | subterrific: works for me... none failed atleast... and worked when I installed them... | 12:12 |

| |trey| | http://tigert.gimp.org/log/files/uploads/gnome-notification-rss-distractor_v2.png LOOK, JDUB... I WANT THIS FEATURE :) | 12:14 |
| |trey| | Lowe: not mount though? | 12:15 |
| Lowe | huh | 12:15 |
| |trey| | mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /windows (after creating windows) | 12:16 |
| Lowe | i want to mount an ext3 partiton | 12:16 |
| Lowe | but i don't know what hda(number) it is | 12:16 |
| |trey| | mount -t ext3 /dev/hda5 /some/where/here | 12:16 |
| subterrific | Lowe: is it removable media? | 12:17 |
| Lowe | no | 12:17 |
| Lowe | it has my pr0n on it lol | 12:17 |
| |trey| | Lowe: why no entry in /etc/fstab for it? | 12:17 |
| |trey| | then it comes up every time (no pun intended) | 12:17 |
| Lowe | all mines says is | 12:18 |
| |trey| | you could try mounting them all, and see which one has your pron :/ | 12:18 |
| Lowe | proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 | 12:18 |
| Lowe | /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 12:18 |

| |trey| | yeah, you will need a new entry enless you don't mind typing a command all the time :/ | 12:19 |
| |trey| | Well... after every reboot... so about twice a year here... | 12:19 |
| Lowe | my windows partiton isn't in there either, should it be? | 12:19 |
| Treenaks | Lowe: only if you want to mount it | 12:19 |
| |trey| | Lowe: if you want it to be mounted at boot... sure... | 12:19 |
| Lowe | i do because it has my music on it | 12:19 |
| |trey| | Lowe: win98 or nt? | 12:20 |
| Lowe | (only reason why i still have windows) | 12:20 |
| Lowe | winxp | 12:20 |
| |trey| | like I said then... mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /windows | 12:20 |
| Lowe | yeah i did that in the command line earlier but it's not in my fstab | 12:21 |
| |trey| | windows is first partion on primary master ide cable, thus /dev/hda1 | 12:21 |
| |trey| | (it has to be to use grub) | 12:21 |
| |trey| | well, no, but its easier in that order :/ | 12:22 |
| Lowe | when i type mount i get /dev/hda1 on /mnt type ntfs (rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,utf8) | 12:22 |
| Lowe | do i paste that in my fstab? | 12:22 |
| |trey| | Then its already mounted apparently.... | 12:22 |
| Lowe | yes i know it is, but so it mounts when i reboot | 12:22 |
| |trey| | no.... follow the same syntax... man fstab | 12:22 |
| petemc | Lowe: dont use that to mount ntfs | 12:23 |
| Lowe | why? | 12:23 |
| |trey| | petemc: high :) | 12:23 |
| petemc | its not rw, for one thing | 12:23 |
| petemc | hey |trey| | 12:23 |
| |trey| | petemc: just enter that in fstab (ro) | 12:23 |

| dalderman | sure | 01:10 |
| dalderman | I have universe in there, but I guess that's different right? | 01:11 |

| |trey| | dalderman: using totem-gstreamer or totem-xine? | 01:29 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | pere: you need to use it in a terminal | 01:29 |
| Mithrandir | pere: sounds like you've installed bittornado. | 01:29 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | use btdownloadcurses | 01:29 |
| dalderman | |trey|, just "totem" on the menu or on the command line | 01:29 |
| |trey| | Kamion: I still don't see why you need that :( | 01:29 |
| Lowe | trey i changed the permissons but it doesn't change them for all files and folders | 01:29 |
| aj | Kamion/thom: tnx | 01:29 |
| dalderman | |trey|, I shall try the others | 01:29 |
| thom | aj: http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/misc/ | 01:30 |
| housetier | pere, another suggestion: azureus | 01:30 |
| aj | err, that's not the right key? | 01:30 |
| Mithrandir | thom: it's not the one used for signing the Release.gpg | 01:30 |
| Kamion | |trey|: because it's the root of trust for the entirety of a Debian archive's security | 01:30 |
| thom | ooook | 01:30 |
| Kamion | |trey|: at least as far as clients are concerned | 01:30 |
| sivang | we now have a misc entry? or is this the "universe" repo? | 01:30 |
| thom | i shall kick elmo then | 01:30 |
| pere | Hrdwr_BoB: Can I use btdownloadcurses directly from Firefox (just clicking a torrent-link)? | 01:30 |
| Mithrandir | sivang: it's not a repo, it's just a directory. | 01:30 |
| |trey| | Kamion: correction, it WILL be, when 0.6 someday is in Stable... | 01:30 |
| Kamion | |trey|: furthermore aj wrote the script most people use to verify it (if they bother at all ...) | 01:31 |
| thom | unless i fix bittorrent first :P | 01:31 |
| Mithrandir | pere: I doubt it, currently. | 01:31 |
| Kamion | |trey|: you can verify it without apt 0.6 | 01:31 |
| sivang | Mithrandir : for unspported stuff ? | 01:31 |
| dalderman | |trey|, I don't have totem-xine or totem-gstreamer, just totem. Although installing totem-xine removes totem-gstreamer | 01:31 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | pere: hm.. possibly, I use it in a terminal btdownloadcurses --url 'http://foo.bar/baz.torrent' | 01:31 |
| Kamion | |trey|: it's a matter of verifying the signature and all the md5sums recursively | 01:31 |
| |trey| | debsigs? | 01:31 |
| Kamion | |trey|: no | 01:31 |
| Mithrandir | sivang: nah, for misc stuff, like the key which is used to sign the releases and such. | 01:31 |
| Kamion | |trey|: debsigs goes in individual .debs, it's a different scheme | 01:31 |
| Lowe | |trey| i thought i would have to change it in the fstab for me to get access to it? | 01:31 |
| |trey| | Lowe: you need to read the man page, specifically where it talks about rights... | 01:32 |
| |trey| | rights and access... | 01:32 |
| dalderman | |trey|, installing totem-xine makes it worse, itgives me a "The application totem has quit unexpectedly" error | 01:32 |
| |trey| | Lowe: I am getting sick of saying RTFM... | 01:32 |
| pere | Hrdwr_BoB: What package do I install. I see nothing similar to btdownloadcurses in Synaptic | 01:32 |
| Mithrandir | pere: "bittorrent" | 01:33 |

| dalderman | thaytan, I just spent about an hour trying to find out why totem-xine crashes with no success | 02:20 |
| thaytan | ouch | 02:20 |
| dalderman | basically all multimedia on my laptop dies with Ubuntu | 02:21 |
| dalderman | it was fine with Sarge | 02:21 |
| dalderman | I think it's kernel 2.6 audio | 02:21 |
| thaytan | setting the audio output to null should tell you that | 02:21 |
| thaytan | or using esd | 02:21 |
| dalderman | gxine crashes with "NAV packet borked" | 02:21 |
| dalderman | esd works | 02:21 |
| dalderman | just nothing else will when it runs | 02:22 |
| Lowe | I'm glad i don't have all these problems :P | 02:22 |
| thaytan | dalderman: NAV packet borked is interesting | 02:22 |
| psyklops | I have been trying all night to install ubuntu, and every time I get the same result: at a random time during installation of the base system, I get disk i/o errors from my CDROM (hdb). I've tried burning the ISO to other disks, but that doesn't help. | 02:26 |
| thaytan | it could be a deficiency in libdvdnav | 02:26 |

| dalderman | I removed them all | 02:40 |
| dalderman | re-installed libdvdcss, and pulled in loads of other stuff | 02:41 |
| dalderman | and now it works | 02:41 |
| dalderman | I shall now test Empire | 02:41 |
| Treenaks | dalderman: dvdcss probably.. most dvds are encrypted, and libdvdcss "breaks" that encryption so you can watch the movie | 02:41 |

| Se7h | it is | 03:34 |
| thaytan | Sirius_Black: no, there's no guarantees of compatibility with sid | 03:34 |

| Se7h | tcl8.4 is already the newest version. | 03:34 |
| beezly | yep | 03:34 |

| Se7h | Tcl cannot be found on this system. | 03:35 |
| Se7h | yeah but i get that | 03:35 |
| Se7h | what is the path to it ? | 03:35 |
| Treenaks | Se7h: which tcl ? | 03:36 |
| beezly | which tclsh | 03:36 |
| Lowe | building form source is so gay, i have like 1% of it working correctly | 03:36 |
| Treenaks | uh yes | 03:36 |
| beezly | /usr/bin/tclsh8.4 | 03:36 |
| Se7h | checking for Tcl library... found /usr/lib/libtcl8.0.so.1 | 03:36 |
| Se7h | checking for Tcl header... {not found} | 03:36 |
| dalderman | So, who can tell me why the modules shpchp.ko and pciehp.kp cause errors on boot and remain unloaded? | 03:36 |
| Treenaks | Se7h: tcl header != tcl library | 03:36 |
| Se7h | yes | 03:36 |
| Treenaks | Se7h: you'll probably need apt-cache search tcl header | 03:37 |
| beezly | no no | 03:37 |
| beezly | tcl8.4-dev | 03:37 |
| Treenaks | which gives me: | 03:37 |
| Treenaks | tcl8.4-dev - Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8.4 - development files | 03:37 |
| beezly | ah I see | 03:37 |
| beezly | apologies Treenaks | 03:37 |
| beezly | Se7h: perhaps you need to tell the thing you're compiling where the tcl headers are? | 03:38 |

| Anna | When I install a program with the SPM, and it is not listed in the GUI Panel, in which folder do I have to look? | 04:10 |
| beezly | SPM? is that Synaptic? | 04:10 |
| Anna | yes | 04:10 |
| beezly | ah | 04:11 |
| Anna | the ubuntu apt-get | 04:11 |
| beezly | eyp | 04:11 |
| beezly | Anna: you tried the "Find" button at the top? | 04:11 |
| Anna | Yes, but it wants the folder first.... | 04:11 |
| Lowe | ok se7h | 04:12 |
| Lowe | File types and programs is supposed to be in Apps > desktop prefrences > advanced > file types and programs. But there is no advanced tab. | 04:12 |
| Lowe | File types | 04:12 |
| Lowe | You can specify how files of various types are displayed and edited. For example, you can specify an icon to reperesent a particular type of file. For another example, you can specify that if a file is a plain text file, the file is launched in a text editor. | 04:12 |
| beezly | Ah, do you mean where it says "Look in"? | 04:12 |
| Anna | yes | 04:13 |
| beezly | Just choose "Name" | 04:13 |
| Anna | ok, brb | 04:13 |
| beezly | you can still use apt-get too, you just have to put "sudo apt-get install blah foo whatever" | 04:14 |
| Se7h | Lowe yes, for sure Advanced isn't there | 04:14 |
| Se7h | but i think u can define that kind stuff | 04:14 |

| Lowe | I was expecting it to be there and was dissapointed since it's in the gnome manual which ubuntu comes with. | 04:14 |

| === silbs [silbs@80.254.67.192] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| WW | Anna: I think imagemagick provides a suite of command line program. I've used `convert` quite a bit. I don't think there is a main GUI app. | 04:21 |
| Anna | Yes, I've found the locations now under propterties - installed files. | 04:22 |
| mwh_ | I like xmms because it support mod files, I like BMP, but it does not support mod files :( | 04:22 |
| Anna | The description read that it can also be run under GUI.. | 04:22 |
| beezly | Anna: hmm, I don't know how to do that with imagemagick | 04:23 |
| beezly | Anna: are you wanting to manipulate images? | 04:23 |
| Lowe | BMP supports whatever xmms plays, since it can use xmms plugins. | 04:23 |
| WW | Anna: Ah, I see that is does. So in this case, you could run `display` from a command line. | 04:24 |

| Nonphasis | how do i associate a media player in right-click menu for folders... like "enqueue in winamp" on dos? | 04:29 |
| Nonphasis | it worked on kde... | 04:29 |

| Anna | Ah, now I'm back on square one, because it is asking me for the url | 04:30 |
| Anna | I assume the url means the location of the application... | 04:31 |

| Treenaks | ah | 04:33 |
| Anna | Once I click "ok" it gives me the error message. | 04:34 |
| Anna | Cannot create launcher | 04:34 |
| Anna | Details: You have to specify a valid URL or comma | 04:34 |
| WW | Anna: I see. Enter `display` in the command field (without the quotes). | 04:35 |
| mwh_ | Lowe: I cannot get BMP to play mods, what should I do to get it to do that? | 04:35 |
| mwh_ | Lowe: when I compile xmms it gets support for libmikmod, but when I compile BMP it doesnot | 04:36 |
| Anna | Oh wow, it worked! | 04:36 |
| mwh_ | Lowe: so its not intirely correct what you are saying | 04:36 |
| Anna | And I didn't have to specify the url | 04:37 |
| Anna | Thanks for your patience and advice WW | 04:38 |
| WW | Anna: It was asking for a "valid URL or command", and `display` is the command. | 04:38 |
| WW | WW: No problem. | 04:38 |
| WW | Anna: Doh! Now I'm talking to myself. | 04:38 |
| Anna | Huh? | 04:39 |
| Lowe | Well it plays what i need and that's all that matters. | 04:39 |
| WW | Anna: (I typed WW: instead of Anna: a couple lines back.) | 04:39 |
| Anna | oh ok, lol | 04:39 |
| Anna | not that I noticed.... | 04:40 |
| Anna | So the launcher would automatically associate the location just by entering the applications name? | 04:40 |
| Anna | (and typing 'display') | 04:41 |
| tvon|x31 | why would you make a launcher for the 'display' command, btw? | 04:41 |
| Treenaks | Anna: I'd assume that it would look in a few standard locations (the path) | 04:41 |
| Anna | I see @ Treenaks | 04:42 |
| WW | Anna: Not sure I understand your question. | 04:42 |
| tseng | jdub: hmm the wiki page for universe candidates says its immutable | 04:43 |
| Sirius_Black | is there an mplayer binary or is it better to compile it from source? | 04:43 |
| Anna | Tvon, the task wasn't to create a launcher for 'display' it was to find an application (and add it to the GUI/panel) and apparently the command display was needed to assist the launcher in finding the applications. | 04:43 |
| WW | WW: `display` is an executable command; the launcher runs this command when you click on it. | 04:43 |
| tvon|x31 | oh, gotcha :) | 04:43 |

| WW | Anna: On the other hand, a few packages that I have installed automatically showed up in the Applications menu. | 04:47 |
| Anna | Yes, I discovered that too with Abi Word | 04:48 |
| Anna | It was just there in the panel at its appropriate location under "office" | 04:48 |
| Anna | But it's dawning on my that perhaps ubuntu (or Gnome) is as of yet outside my ability to effectively operate. There are just too many gaps of knowledge which are impossible to bridge without the information needed. | 04:51 |
| tvon|x31 | Anna: out of curiosity, what app are you trying to add a launcher for? | 04:51 |
| beezly | Anna: try and bear with it for a week, you'll pick up stuff *really* fast | 04:52 |
| Anna | I feel like I'm sitting on an Island, planning to pull other islands towards me with a rope to make a continent, but I don't know which direction I have to throw the rope at to "catch one" | 04:52 |
| Anna | imagemagick, the one I mentioned earlier | 04:52 |
| tvon|x31 | ah | 04:53 |
| tvon|x31 | Which imagemagick command? | 04:53 |
| Anna | I just entered "imagemagick" and "display" into the launcher. | 04:53 |
| tvon|x31 | For which fields? | 04:54 |
| beezly | Anna: are you specifically wanting to use ImageMagick or just do image manipulation? if it's the latter, you'd be better off install gimp | 04:54 |
| === Sander__ [~Sander__@209.10.122.251] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| tvon|x31 | eg, when you right click on the panel -> add to panel -> custom application launcher.. You added "imagemagick" for "name" and "display" for "command" ? | 04:54 |
| Anna | I have gimp already, actually I don't need imagemagick, this was just an exercise and I chose an application from which I assumed that it wouldn't burn a hole into my system trying to run it | 04:55 |
| Anna | sorry tvon, yes | 04:55 |
| tvon|x31 | Anna: and that doesnt work? that should be enough | 04:55 |

| tvon|x31 | though I've never tried running 'display' without any arguments, does it open a GUI window without arguments? | 04:55 |
| Anna | yes | 04:55 |
| tvon|x31 | ah, k | 04:56 |
| Anna | (the problem was I didn't know the "display" command. | 04:56 |
| tvon|x31 | ahhh | 04:56 |
| Anna | and I also didn't know about the launcher;-) | 04:56 |
| tvon|x31 | Now you do :) | 04:56 |

| Anna | And I think it's wonderful that there are always people around who I can bug. | 04:57 |
| tvon|x31 | 99% of the time you will not need to add a 'custom application launcher' though | 04:57 |
| Anna | You mean the icon would appear automatically after installing the app? | 04:58 |
| tvon|x31 | I'm mighty geeky and I dont have any custom app launchers... but then I also have a high interest in GNOME usability so I tend to do things the "GNOME way" over 'the old way I used to do it' | 04:58 |

| Anna | Well I used to be a GUI whore until I decided to drop windows recently for varied reasons, so I'm coming from the other end | 05:00 |
| Anna | But it's all very exciting | 05:00 |
| tvon|x31 | You should be okay then. Its mostly a matter of figuring out what app you should use to accomplish a specific task | 05:00 |
| Nonphasis | Old way is sometimes the only way because the Gnome way requires you to search for all kinds of obscure stuff from cvs logs and whatnot | 05:01 |
| queuetue | Hi. I've inherited a remote debian server, and ... caught between the blind idealism, love for the ancient, and all-around disagreement about what makes a distro 'good', I basically need an alternative.

| Anna | I'll just have to learn..., I refuse to be defeated -permanently- | 05:01 |

| _Hiro_ | totem has always problems | 05:03 |
| Anna | Your teasing me after having seen my ordeal | 05:03 |
| tvon|x31 | Anna: Ubuntu is pretty good. I used to reccomend Mandrake or Fedora. | 05:03 |

| === ickyGoat is away: I'm making a pot of Java or working or......... | ||
| tvon|x31 | for being a gnome freak as I am, I'd go with Fedora over Mandrake | 05:04 |

| Nonphasis | Anna, ubuntu will get easier once it gets a proper kde | 05:04 |
| _Hiro_ | I come from gentoo | 05:04 |
| _Hiro_ | totem never worked decently :/ | 05:04 |

| _Hiro_ | it's just not 'stable' in its working :| | 05:05 |
| _Hiro_ | vlc that works always :) | 05:05 |
| srbaker | _Hiro_, totem works perfectly here. | 05:05 |
| Nonphasis | Gnome just proves harder for many tasks... | 05:05 |
| Anna | Ok, these are standard Distros then. My fist experience was with Knoppix Live CD. That was my first nose of Linux and it hooked me immediately. | 05:05 |
| _Hiro_ | oh it works here as well now | 05:05 |
| Nonphasis | like, how can I add a media player to right click menu for folders? | 05:06 |
| _Hiro_ | xine back-end, which in turn makes me wonder again why to use totem at all | 05:06 |
| Nonphasis | in kde I just added it, in gnome I added it but it's not visible | 05:06 |
| === cardador [~jose@srt1.dq.fct.unl.pt] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| _Hiro_ | but that's sort of standard practice with the thing :) | 05:07 |
| Nonphasis | rhythmbox crasher on reading my audio folder | 05:07 |

| sladen | I think there's a real case for having d-i check the parts of the CD itself. There's an unbelievable number of dud burns happening; and the installer is coping with most of them (eg, just coming up with lots of missing packages then requesting to fetch ~50MB over the net to make up | 05:41 |

| rapha | jdub: Btw, nice seeing you here doing this Ubuntu stuff! | 05:48 |
| Kamion | if somebody else wants to, they'll need to have CD-pressing equipment to test it with | 05:48 |
| sivang | rapha : lemme check this for you a sec | 05:48 |
| sladen | Kamion: if I wrote the code, would you consider using it? :-) | 05:48 |
| zombics | what i need to apt-get install to get the kernel source(2.6.8)? | 05:48 |
| rapha | I think it's a great idea and also greatly executed so far. | 05:48 |
| Kamion | sladen: probably not, I really dislike that sort of hack | 05:48 |
| rapha | (Plus, many others seem to think that as well) | 05:48 |
| Kamion | sladen: it's one step away from copy protection | 05:48 |
| Kamion | zombics: linux-source-2.6.8.1 | 05:49 |
| sladen | Kamion: s/copy/"verification"/ ;-) | 05:49 |
| Kamion | sladen: not worth the cost | 05:49 |
| zombics | Kamion, THX ! | 05:49 |
| Kamion | sladen: if we could test in software whether the CD had been burnt, that would be marginally less gross; AFAIK you can't | 05:49 |
| Kamion | sladen: and I mean something that doesn't depend on properties of the ISO | 05:50 |

| mojo | ninjl: u have any idea | 06:08 |
| ninj1 | mojo: you should configure /etc/locale.gen to list the languages you want | 06:08 |

| peteog | Im sure sound shouldnt be so confusing... I was using ALSA with Beep and Totem-Xine, but was having issues in that when say beep was playing I didnt get sounds from Gaim, it seemed to be queing them as when I closed beep they would play. I have a kind of work around in that I enabled ESD, set sounds in Gaim to use ESD and beep to use ESD - this works, I can now hear Gaim sounds when mp3's are playing. but now I have no sound | 07:36 |
| peteog | in Totem-Xine. Also using ESD doesnt seem to be the correct way of doing this. Any ideas? | 07:36 |

| [SemTeX] | but strange enough, i couldn't apt-get those sources for universe? | 07:37 |
| siretart | i just created an account for the wiki, and now I get a lot of python errors after my search results after a title search. Is this known? | 07:38 |
| crimsun | that's because the sources return an error; i'm not sure if it's a faq on the wiki | 07:38 |
| crimsun | gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Err http://archive.ubuntu.com warty/main Sources Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) | 07:38 |
| [SemTeX] | it was something like that yes | 07:39 |

| lamont | that sources file (and the packages files) get re-created every 30 minuts (if there are changes)... | 07:39 |

| ish | Out of habit I do 'apt-get uprade'.. Should I do 'dist-upgrade'? | 07:43 |
| Kamion | dist-upgrade allows the installation of new packages and the removal of old packages to satisfy dependencies | 07:44 |
| Kamion | when doing dist-upgrade, you should watch what apt-get is doing in case it goes insane | 07:44 |

| loz | I had it all working under gentoo.. although not alsa. however alsa has the driver.. | 08:43 |
| loz | the module probes but does nothing in /dev/ for example.. | 08:44 |
| subterrific | Dell has some issues, for example, my Dell at home has an SB Live! but it doesn't work with the standard SB Live! driver. i had to patch the ubuntu kernel with the latest ALSA and add a new driver for it | 08:44 |
| subterrific | loz: use paste.plone.org and show me the output from lsmod | 08:45 |
| subterrific | loz: you should also open a bug for this at bugzilla.ubuntu.org because everything should "Just Work" | 08:45 |
| Nonphasis | SB cards have several variations for the same card | 08:45 |

| Nonphasis | is bcm95751 a tg3? | 09:19 |
| elmo | sounds like it | 09:19 |
| Nonphasis | tg3 used to suck as far as drivers go, 3 years ago when configging them was involveh with my job | 09:19 |

| Nonphasis | ubuntu istall is so easy, i was almost disappointed ;-) | 09:22 |
| michel_v_ | it's the post-install thing that's headache inducing :) | 09:22 |

| slackeerb | does anyone know how to burn a .dmg cd image? | 09:22 |
| Nonphasis | yes, post-install... that's always the real problem | 09:23 |
| Capri | elmo, nautilus didn't work. I choosed the data and wanted to burn it. After making image it didn't go on to burning. | 09:23 |
| Nonphasis | 1) get sound and video going | 09:23 |
| Nonphasis | 2) get nvidia bin drivers going | 09:23 |
| Capri | elmo, must I do anything compareable to this ide-scsi stuff from 2.4 kernels in 2.6? | 09:24 |
| slackeerb | Nonphasis: http://serios.net/content/debian/nvidia-display-drivers.php | 09:24 |
| Nonphasis | ubuntu should really have "apt-get install mplayer-compile" | 09:24 |
| Nonphasis | slackeerb, my nvidia is going already | 09:24 |
| elmo | capri: I don't think so, but I'm not sure to be honest, cd burning in nautilus "just worked" for me | 09:24 |
| Nonphasis | slackeerb, just had to come up with the /etc/modules thing | 09:25 |

| eazel7 | because I had two computers, this one and the 386, but when I turn off this one, I wanted that the home web server keep alive, so I used pepa for adsl, and it had a webserver for DOS that I can't remember the name | 09:43 |

| jk | eazel7: module | 10:08 |
| eazel7 | I had troubles with alsa as module | 10:08 |
| eazel7 | when it was builtin it worked | 10:08 |
| eazel7 | even using alsalib an those | 10:08 |
| jk | it uses a 2.6.8.1 kernel with debian patches btw... | 10:08 |
| lucas_ | Deft: yes but you can't know which one is for each mailbox, you just get "No mail No mail No mail" ;) | 10:09 |

| schweeb | what was the drive that was in there before set to? | 10:57 |

| punkass | i originally had them on the same IDE, but i tried with different IDE cables and had the same problem | 10:58 |

| schweeb | they're not on the same channel? | 10:58 |
| punkass | they were....not at the moment | 10:59 |
| punkass | i just tried different channel to see if i would fix it | 10:59 |
| Capri | punkass: have you tried the new one alone for a test install? so you can say that it is not the second hd alone | 10:59 |
| schweeb | well, both should be set to master/single then | 10:59 |
| Deft | can you try that disk on its own; with a livecd or something? | 11:00 |
| Deft | just so you can boot and mount it | 11:00 |
| schweeb | most BIOSes don't like having only a slave on the channel | 11:00 |
| punkass | i did..i used knoppix to set up the partitions' | 11:00 |
| punkass | schweeb: ah ok..that makes sense.. | 11:00 |
| punkass | tho it would be nice to have the back on the same channel | 11:01 |
| punkass | them* | 11:01 |
| Capri | yes if you have them on seperate ide channels then there is no slave | 11:01 |
| schweeb | so your choices are drive1=master,chan1&drive2=master,chan2; or drive1=master,chan1&drive2=slave,chan1 | 11:01 |
| schweeb | and there's sometimes a "single" setting | 11:02 |
| schweeb | that's different than master | 11:02 |
| punkass | drive1=master,chan1&drive2=slave,chan1 <<< is what i had originally | 11:02 |
| schweeb | if it's the only drive on the channel | 11:02 |
| schweeb | well, look for a single setting | 11:02 |
| punkass | ok | 11:02 |
| schweeb | or just put them both in there w/ the jumpers disabled | 11:02 |

| FX|Laptop | Hello | 11:09 |
| FX|Laptop | First off like to say, Wonderful distro!! | 11:09 |
| WW | Sirius: What are the first few entries in that submenu? | 11:09 |
| Sirius_Black | WW they are: ....... | 11:10 |
| FX|Laptop | Anyone give me a hand? | 11:10 |
| Sirius_Black | WW - networking, printing, screen resolution, time and date, and, users and groups | 11:10 |
| Capri | device manager, synaptic is missing | 11:11 |
| Sirius_Black | btw guys - have changed sources.list to sid and have dist-upgraded with only two minor problems that i managed to sort out easily | 11:11 |
| Sirius_Black | have also configured alsa and nvidia | 11:11 |
| Sirius_Black | and ... | 11:11 |
| Sirius_Black | i installed kde | 11:11 |
| FX|Laptop | I have wireless Atheros. I have to the point where the signal strength monitor shows a signal with 84%, but cannot get to the lan or net. | 11:11 |
| Cardador | Sirius_Black: theres your problem :) | 11:11 |
| Sirius_Black | not a bad job | 11:11 |
| WW | OK, Ubuntu gurus, why doesn't Sirius have Device Manager and Login Screen Setup? That's over my head (not too hard to get that high :) | 11:12 |
| Cardador | WW: dist upgrade to sid | 11:12 |
| schweeb | might have something to do with the sid dist upgrade | 11:12 |
| schweeb | which is warned against in the FAQs | 11:12 |
| WW | Ah, that went right by me. | 11:12 |
| Sirius_Black | during sid dist-upgrade no packets were removed btw | 11:12 |
| Cardador | Sirius_Black: if you wanted sid, why not use debian installer? | 11:12 |
| Sirius_Black | Cardador: the answer is simple - couse it is much easier to install 2.6 kernel debian based distro than it is debian itself :-)) | 11:13 |
| jmhodges | uh.. hunh | 11:13 |
| Cardador | Sirius_Black: hmm you could have used knoppix | 11:14 |
| jmhodges | totem-gstreamer and totem-xine both are not working on mpeg files | 11:14 |
| Sirius_Black | anyway guys - i am VERY VERY pleased with ubuntu, althought it is sid now | 11:14 |
| jmhodges | t-g displays just a black vid scren | 11:14 |
| Sirius_Black | Cardador: knopixx has no gnome 2.8 | 11:14 |
| jmhodges | t-x just a blue one | 11:14 |
| schweeb | Sirius_Black: type linux26 at the install prompt at d-i .... | 11:14 |
| jmhodges | im assuming this is something stupid done on my part? | 11:14 |
| Cardador | Sirius_Black: i had sid AND gnome 2.8 | 11:14 |
| Cardador | Sirius_Black: it is available on experimental | 11:15 |
| Sirius_Black | Cardador: so whu have you moved to ubuntu then | 11:15 |
| Kamion | Sirius_Black: you probably didn't have the menu entries because you didn't have the relevant packages installed | 11:15 |
| Capri | jmhodges: I have this problem with one SVCD too. Another one works without problems | 11:15 |
| Sirius_Black | Kamion: u could be well right mate | 11:15 |
| Kamion | Sirius_Black: aptitude install '~tubuntu-desktop' is the standard way to get our default desktop set | 11:15 |
| jmhodges | Capri: hmm.. same thing happens on all vid files so far | 11:15 |
| jmhodges | tested like 3 | 11:15 |
| jmhodges | s/vid/mpeg/ | 11:15 |
| Cardador | Sirius_Black: i just fell ubuntu is much more oriented to desktop use than plain debian | 11:16 |
| Sirius_Black | i thought that libranet was the ultimate debian based distro but i have to say ubuntu is the daddy of debian based distros for mr from now on | 11:16 |
| Sirius_Black | Cardador: couldnt agree more mate | 11:16 |
| Capri | jmhodges: SVCD is mpeg2. mpeg2 support should be included in totem-xine. for any other kind of codec you have to install these win32-codecs | 11:16 |
| jmhodges | these should be mpeg-2 | 11:17 |
| topyli | ok. i can honestly say absolutely fabulous is perfectly ok. | 11:17 |
| === jmhodges hrmphs | ||
| === stratus_ is now known as stratus | ||
| jmhodges | Capri: i assume i need to do some configuring outside of simply unpacking that w32codecs tarball in /usr/lib ? | 11:17 |
| Deft | jmhodges: as long is they end up in /usr/lib/win32, hopefully nothing | 11:19 |
| jmhodges | Deft: ah | 11:19 |
| Capri | You can check it in totem-xine if it has found the plugins | 11:19 |
| phlaegel | jmhodges: if you have the marillat source you can apt-get the codecs | 11:19 |
| topyli | jmhodges: why don't you just install a debian package :) | 11:20 |
| jmhodges | well, because im ignorant of such an option :D | 11:20 |
| Capri | With the marillat package it didn't work, too. | 11:20 |
| jmhodges | sorry, debian newb here | 11:20 |

| WW | I used marillat, and it worked. If I could remember the exact sequence of steps, I'd add something to the wiki, but flailed around a bit (and, of course, pestered folks here for help). | 11:22 |
| schweeb | if you're still using totem, you have to add "universe" and install totem-xine | 11:22 |
| WW | s/flailed/I flailed/ | 11:22 |
| topyli | jmhodges: see my unstable setup at http://siltala.webhop.net/floss/sources.list -- but only pick up the marillat line or you'll end up with a very dangerous system :) | 11:22 |
| jmhodges | so, i have to use the marillat repo and totem-xine? | 11:23 |
| neighborlee | I have it downloaded and symlink is in place in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ( yes i used the *gcc* version) yet still nadda....anyone else by chance tried and having problems with java in mozilla ? ;-)) | 11:23 |
| topyli | no-one :) | 11:23 |
| Capri | and why I have two SVCDs with MPEG2 codec which didn't work with it? These SVCDs work with PowerDVD without any problems!? | 11:24 |
| WW | I think the marillat repo has libdvdcss2 and w32codes, while totem-xine is in univers. | 11:24 |
| neighborlee | is there a howo-to for getting java to work in ubuntu ? | 11:24 |

| topyli | siltala.webhop.net is my page, why would there be an ubuntu faq answer leading there? | 11:32 |
| jmhodges | Capri: that did it, but you need totem-xine installed (i think, i havent tried totem-gstreamer) | 11:32 |

| Slackeerb | 0Z8AAZ: huh lol. Ima newb... | 11:36 |
| jdub | mxpxpod: the version is taken from the top changelog entry | 11:36 |
| mxpxpod | jdub: ahhh | 11:36 |
| Kamion | neighborlee: unstable's got current fixes, and we have enough active Debian developers on staff who are well aware of the current state of unstable that we're confident we can fix the breakage that occurs | 11:36 |
| topyli | neighborlee: mandrake has good gnome though. i have good mandrake experiences, expect that rpm based stuff tends to break. :( still, urpmi is great. | 11:37 |
| OZ8AAZ | slacker: hehe, check out www.apt-get.org anyhow... | 11:37 |
| mxpxpod | jdub: so you updated the changelogs... ok | 11:37 |

| Kamion | mxpxpod: you have to | 11:37 |
| jdub | mxpxpod: when you change a package, you have to update the changelog | 11:37 |
| Slackeerb | OZ8AAZ: heh ok ill give it a try. | 11:37 |
| neighborlee | topyli, I agree urpmi is good..mdk is too 'give me money' so I wont ever bother again | 11:37 |
| mxpxpod | jdub: gotcha | 11:37 |
| neighborlee | topyli, to me linux is a mindset=OSS..mdk has left that entirely IMO | 11:37 |
| topyli | neighborlee: i've been using mandrake for years and years without a penny. look at it, it's very community based. | 11:38 |
| neighborlee | although at least MDK has good gnome support I'll admit..suse forget it LOL | 11:38 |
| OZ8AAZ | slacker: and/or google for a good how-to on adding sources to your systems list... | 11:39 |
