| neighborlee | Deft, for java | 12:11 |
| Deft | the plugin? | 12:11 |
| neighborlee | Deft, ln -s /usr/java/blah/blah . | 12:11 |

| trukulo | Cardador: could be, yes | 01:15 |
| trukulo | but it's more secure | 01:15 |
| trukulo | i prefer security than make life easier for windows users | 01:15 |
| chutwig | it won't unmount the disc unless it's not in use | 01:15 |
| chutwig | you can't eject it whenever you want anyway | 01:16 |
| Cardador | but then about 95% of all computer users are windows users :) | 01:16 |
| trukulo | Cardador: and what? | 01:16 |
| chutwig | the first time it wouldn't automatically unmount for me, but then it started working on subsequent tries | 01:16 |
| trukulo | we have to make system less secure for that? | 01:16 |
| chutwig | um, what | 01:16 |
| Cardador | so it is likelly that a lot of people that starts using ubuntu are coming from windows | 01:16 |
| chutwig | "secure"? | 01:16 |
| Se7h | where is flash ? | 01:16 |
| chutwig | this is ejecting a CD | 01:16 |
| Cardador | not less secure, but maybe making it easier to figure out | 01:17 |
| trukulo | chutwig: if you have a CD in a server, and people want to put one in the drive | 01:17 |
| Cardador | a panel applet with a cd should do it | 01:17 |
| trukulo | what would happen if you are using one? | 01:17 |
| Kamion | this isn't about security | 01:17 |
| chutwig | this is a "security" issue? | 01:17 |
| trukulo | i think it's security | 01:18 |

| eaxnt | FX|Laptop: whats wrong with wireless | 01:54 |
| eaxnt | FX|Laptop: is your card supported , if so .. do you have the modules loaded "lsmod" if you dont see it , you need to modprobe <driver_name> | 01:55 |
| jeedee | I know that's why my computer wont start after I install ubuntu, grub hangs | 01:55 |
| FX|Laptop | Well I have a signal on the signal monitor, but can't get to lan or net. | 01:55 |
| arachne | do you expect the web site to be translated soon ? | 01:55 |
| FX|Laptop | The install noticed my Athreos card from what I seen. | 01:55 |
| eaxnt | jeedee: it hangs because you didnt install it right , or you have something screwed up with your drive configuration , grub is stable and works | 01:55 |
| eaxnt | FX|Laptop: 'ifconfig' | 01:56 |
| jeedee | Tell me something I dont know :P I just need to find a way to make it work but it does not output anything, it just hangs at Loading Stage ... | 01:56 |
| jeedee | Lilo, grub, I don't care as long as it works | 01:56 |
| eaxnt | jeedee: make sure it wrote itself to the MBR , and not the root sector of the drive | 01:56 |
| Se7h | what's the path to mozilla ? | 01:56 |
| jeedee | It did | 01:56 |
| eaxnt | Se7h: installing flash ? | 01:56 |
| jeedee | I just need to find a way to install Lilo to test | 01:56 |
| eaxnt | Se7h: its /usr/lib/mozilla(1.6) | 01:57 |
| Se7h | yeah | 01:57 |
| Se7h | u sure? | 01:57 |
| eaxnt | try | 01:57 |
| eaxnt | /usr/lib/mozilla | 01:57 |
| eaxnt | or /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6 | 01:57 |
| FX|Laptop | hmm It shows up (ath0) and eth0 show up. | 01:58 |
| eaxnt | it will tell if its not the right | 01:58 |
| eaxnt | FX|Laptop: ifconfig eth0 up , ifconfig ath0 up | 01:58 |
| Se7h | WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path. | 01:58 |
| eaxnt | Se7h: mozilla under ubuntu is under /usr/lib/mozilla , are you using firefox ? | 01:58 |
| WW | exant: Just to be sure, I tried it again. "Full screen" in mplayer doesn't actually use the full screen. It plays in a small rectangle in the middle of teh screen. totem-xine shows a bigger display. | 01:59 |
| Se7h | yes | 01:59 |
| Se7h | sorry | 01:59 |

| eaxnt | Se7h: I'm not entirely sure where firefox installs itself , try /usr/lib/firefox | 02:00 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | it's the most retarded default | 02:01 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | surely sdl would make more sense | 02:01 |
| eaxnt | Hrdwr_BoB: no it wouldnt 0_o | 02:01 |
| phlaegel | you know, you can put the mplayer config in your home dir, then it survives reinstalls, etc. | 02:01 |
| Se7h | seth@devil ~ $ whereis firefox | 02:01 |

| eaxnt | phlaegel: rofl .. yeah | 02:01 |
| phlaegel | Hrdwr_BoB: lowest common denominator | 02:01 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | eaxnt: why not? the package depends on SDL in any case, and SDL will check if xv is there and use it | 02:01 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | if not it will use X11 | 02:01 |
| eaxnt | Hrdwr_BoB: they put it to whatever works with most peoples systems ... | 02:01 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | phlaegel: sdl is a dependancy in any case, and will output it in x11 | 02:01 |
| Clint | sdl doesn't always work | 02:02 |
| eaxnt | no shit | 02:02 |
| eaxnt | hes confused | 02:02 |
| eaxnt | Se7h: sorry man , I dont know where it goes .. try /usr/lib/firefox , browse /usr/lib and look for firefox's directory , I know mozilla uses /usr/lib .. if not try /usr/local/lib /usr/local/bin , etc | 02:02 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | x11 may 'work' in more cases, but in the vast majority of cases, people will want sdl or xv | 02:02 |
| WW | Hrdwr_BoB: mplayer -vo xv didn't work. It couldn't open .mplayer/codec.conf | 02:02 |
| Se7h | ok | 02:03 |
| eaxnt | Hrdwr_BoB: what does that matter .. its what works most often | 02:03 |
| Se7h | thanks eaxnt | 02:03 |
| eaxnt | np | 02:03 |
| eaxnt | Hrdwr_BoB: if they really wanted to fix it .. they'd write an installer and autoprober , and host if offshore =] static binary that works with everything | 02:03 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | eaxnt: who is 'they' in this case | 02:04 |
| WW | ... but I'm sure that's a configuration thing that I can deal with when I need it. | 02:04 |
| WW | Later | 02:04 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | it IS hosted 'offshore' | 02:04 |

| Hrdwr_BoB | it's not an official part of anything | 02:05 |
| eaxnt | Hrdwr_BoB: offshore == country that doesnt give a shit , ie. not the USA/some countries in europe/japan/etc | 02:05 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | I know, I said it was | 02:05 |
| eaxnt | oh | 02:05 |
| eaxnt | hehe | 02:05 |
| eaxnt | I misread that | 02:05 |
| eaxnt | sorry | 02:05 |
| eaxnt | they could still make it a binary static installer , compile it for you =] | 02:05 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | why? | 02:06 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | there's a huge infrastructure called debconf | 02:06 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | which is in place specifically for that | 02:06 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | I just think xv is a much more sane default | 02:06 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | (well, sdl) | 02:06 |
| eaxnt | its not | 02:06 |
| eaxnt | its actually sort of stupid | 02:06 |
| eaxnt | hehe | 02:06 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | why? | 02:07 |
| eaxnt | what works on most peoples boxes == default, sdl/xv isnt the obvious choice | 02:07 |
| eaxnt | x11 is | 02:07 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | what works on most peoples boxes is xv | 02:07 |

| eaxnt | I assume your wireless router supports DHCP , get a dhcp client (dhclient) or (pump) | 02:30 |
| eaxnt | run one of them | 02:30 |
| eaxnt | it should assign it an IP | 02:30 |

| === bolivar [~bolivar@host-193-246-220-24.midco.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| eaxnt | you just install dhclient/pump | 02:31 |

| eaxnt | err wait | 02:31 |
| eaxnt | sorry | 02:31 |
| eaxnt | thats not right | 02:31 |
| eaxnt | http://www.resnet.ubc.ca/support/dhcp/linux/debian-dhcp/debian-dhcp.html | 02:32 |
| eaxnt | 'apt-get install pump' | 02:32 |
| eaxnt | then run pump | 02:32 |
| FX|Laptop | So I can change the static to the dhcp from when I installed? | 02:32 |
| eaxnt | debconf should prompt you for which interface it wants to use | 02:32 |
| eaxnt | use 'ath0' | 02:32 |
| eaxnt | yeah , just install 'pump' | 02:32 |
| eaxnt | 'apt-get install pump' | 02:32 |

| neighborlee | whiprush, I did indeed | 03:45 |
| whiprush | hmmm | 03:45 |

| Slackeerb | ill grab gxine | 03:59 |

| whiprush | everything | 04:11 |
| joem | nice | 04:11 |
| whiprush | except mplayer-mozilla seems to be curiously absent | 04:11 |
| whiprush | joem: if you install w32codecs and libdvdcss and whatnot, you can watch almost any media in totem | 04:12 |
| joem | yea | 04:12 |
| whiprush | Slackeerb: here's what you do for quicktime ... | 04:12 |
| whiprush | check the source of the page | 04:12 |
| whiprush | there's an embed tag | 04:12 |

| Slackeerb | whiprush: should i just install mplayer? | 04:15 |
| whiprush | without the plugin it'll just do the same thing | 04:16 |

| whiprush | heh | 04:20 |
| whiprush | welcome to sound in linux! | 04:20 |
| whiprush | :( | 04:20 |
| eazel7 | I wonder when will the gecko controls like lists and those be wrapped to gtk... | 04:20 |
| subterrific | my biggest epiphany complaint is that it doesn't select the address bar when you make a new tab | 04:20 |
| whiprush | Slackeerb: pause rhythmbox, wait a second, then launch totem. | 04:20 |
| eazel7 | subterrific: the same as me | 04:20 |
| subterrific | eazel7: i opened a bug about it and they still haven't fixed it | 04:21 |
| whiprush | I like epiphany, I only have one problem with it though | 04:21 |
| whiprush | it's not firefox. :-/ | 04:21 |

| Slackeerb | subterrific: =) | 04:22 |
| whiprush | Slackeerb: I can't. | 04:22 |
| whiprush | I tried dmix, made it worse | 04:22 |
| whiprush | so I just gave up | 04:22 |
| subterrific | Slackeerb: first, run gstreamer-properties | 04:22 |
| subterrific | and change everything from OSS to ALSA | 04:22 |
| Slackeerb | done | 04:23 |
| subterrific | then, relaunch everything, if that doesn't work, you'll need to add dmix stuff to your .asoundrc | 04:23 |
| subterrific | whiprush: dmix should work fine if you change gstreamer to use ALSA | 04:23 |
| whiprush | and when I do that I get no sound at all. grrr. | 04:24 |
| Slackeerb | subterrific: it works! =) yay. thx | 04:24 |
| whiprush | Lemme try it though. | 04:24 |
| subterrific | i had 10 programs playing stereo audio with dmix and it was hardly using any cpu | 04:24 |
| subterrific | whiprush: my guess is that you've got gstreamer set to use OSS. thats the default for some crazy reason | 04:25 |

| toyowheelin | oh | 05:16 |
| schweeb | subterrific: and thank god for that... when my pc speaker is unmuted, it's loud as hell | 05:16 |
| Tjoklat | subterrific | 05:16 |
| subterrific | schweeb: hehe pc speaker | 05:16 |
| subterrific | Tjoklat: yo | 05:16 |
| Tjoklat | I am sorry, the options I was talking about is in xscreensaver/advanced | 05:16 |
| Tjoklat | :) | 05:16 |
| subterrific | Tjoklat: ok, well we figured out what it is | 05:17 |
| Tjoklat | what was it sub? | 05:17 |
| subterrific | Tjoklat: its the smp kernel in combination with a P4 /w HyperThreading | 05:17 |
| toyowheelin | humm IDK whats up with this thing | 05:18 |
| Tjoklat | ah, so what did you do to fix it? I just rebuilt my kernel | 05:18 |
| TongMaster | Tjoklat, did you have the mac with a 9200 card? | 05:18 |
| subterrific | Tjoklat: at least someone commented on the bug and said he had the same problem and had to turn off hyperthreading and use the 686 or 386 kernel w/ no smpo | 05:18 |
| subterrific | toyowheelin: ? | 05:19 |
| toyowheelin | still no sound | 05:19 |
| Tjoklat | great that it got fixed sub, TM, no just normal pc | 05:19 |
| Tjoklat | but the 2.6.8 kernel is buggy | 05:19 |
| subterrific | yeah its a lemon | 05:19 |
| subterrific | i found another way to lock it up | 05:20 |
| Tjoklat | the only issue I am having is the mp3 props in nautilus | 05:20 |
| subterrific | boot with no network cable and then run evolution and try to check email. that brought my machine to a crawl :\ | 05:20 |
| schweeb | you sure that's not an evolution problem? | 05:21 |
| subterrific | schweeb: evolution shouldn't be able to lock up the machine | 05:21 |
| schweeb | evolution isn't exactly resource friendly | 05:21 |
| subterrific | thats a kernel issue | 05:21 |
| eazel7 | resource friendly? | 05:21 |
| schweeb | what's your definition of "a crawl" | 05:21 |
| eazel7 | you mean low consumption? | 05:22 |
| subterrific | schweeb: not even being able to switch to a virtual term | 05:22 |
| whiprush | on my machine evolution isn't the problem | 05:22 |
| toyowheelin | anyone know why when I installed ubunto it nolonger gives the option to boot into windows? | 05:22 |
| whiprush | it's evolution-data-server | 05:22 |
| subterrific | having xfree totally stop drawing | 05:22 |
| eazel7 | my english isn't so good, sorry | 05:22 |
| whiprush | it must leak or something | 05:22 |
| schweeb | undoubtedly | 05:22 |
| whiprush | Mine at work hit like, 600mb | 05:22 |
| mdz | schweeb: yes, gstreamer-properties came up on the mailing list already | 05:22 |
| mdz | schweeb: because the dialog is unintuitive and shouldn't be necessary for users | 05:22 |
| Tjoklat | toy.. when the puter starts up.. you have to hit escape to get a menu | 05:23 |
| schweeb | mdz: yea... how bout setting it to alsa by default? | 05:23 |
| toyowheelin | oh ok... | 05:23 |
| mdz | schweeb: why? | 05:23 |
| Tjoklat | it is a bit fuzzy | 05:23 |
| Tjoklat | but I like how it is | 05:23 |
| toyowheelin | Tjoklat, im used to lilo | 05:23 |
| Tjoklat | hit escape and you get the menu with windows in it | 05:23 |
| mdz | currently we standardise on OSS because the userland is more stable that way | 05:24 |
| schweeb | true | 05:24 |
| Tjoklat | ah, you'll like grub toy :) | 05:24 |
| schweeb | i've not had much of any problem with alsa at all | 05:24 |
| whiprush | I have | 05:24 |
| schweeb | gstreamer used to suck w/ alsa, but now it appears to have stabilised | 05:24 |
| schweeb | whiprush: what now? | 05:24 |
| toyowheelin | Im also used to mandrake but decided to go with ubuntu because mandrake 64 is "borken" | 05:24 |
| subterrific | mdz: i hear that, but i've told at least 10 people to switch to ALSA and everyone loves being able to do multichannel audio and no problems reported so far | 05:24 |
| toyowheelin | *"broken" | 05:24 |
| subterrific | mdz: plus, all it is changing is gstreamer, is gstreamer-alsa really that buggy? | 05:25 |
| whiprush | not anymore | 05:25 |
| whiprush | it used to _suck_. | 05:25 |
| whiprush | like, bad. | 05:25 |
| mdz | subterrific: multichannel as in >2? | 05:25 |
| schweeb | heh | 05:25 |
| schweeb | yes, mdz | 05:25 |
| schweeb | with dmix | 05:25 |
| toyowheelin | lol | 05:25 |
| Tjoklat | I am able to play any mp3.. it just look crapiola in properties | 05:26 |
| Tjoklat | which is really disturbing me | 05:26 |
| whiprush | dunno man, all I remember is that alsa is supposed to be all sweet, and I end up spending more time fixing my alsa stuff than I ever did with oss. | 05:26 |
| schweeb | another annoying default is the locale | 05:26 |
| Tjoklat | gives me errors about image can't be displayed | 05:26 |
| subterrific | mdz: yes, having more than one app access the sound card. gaim + totem, gaim + rhythmbox | 05:26 |
| whiprush | so if someone fixes that upstream, then I'm happy. | 05:26 |
| mdz | schweeb: ok, that's something else | 05:26 |
| mdz | multichannel means audio streams with more than one channel | 05:26 |
| mdz | subterrific: if your card can do the mixing, it should work with both OSS and ALSA | 05:26 |
| mdz | mine does | 05:27 |
| eazel7 | I know that what I use to do is stupid but: alsa + oss_emu + esd | 05:27 |
| schweeb | mdz: most of us seem to be stuck with intel8x0 + ac97 | 05:27 |
| schweeb | another annoying default is the locale | 05:27 |
| eazel7 | that's what I do, because many programs still uses oss | 05:27 |
| schweeb | I tell the installer en_US | 05:27 |
| Tjoklat | sub.. when you right click on props.. what does your audio/video tab say? | 05:27 |
| toyowheelin | brb im gonna reboot maybe the sound will fix itself | 05:27 |
| schweeb | and the locale is set to POSIX | 05:27 |

| schweeb | I mentioned it to jdub, he seemed to be interested | 05:36 |

| wm_eddie | like if I have mplayer in universe and the mplayer in http://www.arslinux.com/~jorge/sources.list? | 06:17 |
| schweeb | you have to tell apps to use esd if you turn on esd | 06:17 |
| subterrific | esd really blows :\ | 06:17 |
| schweeb | indeed | 06:18 |
| schweeb | I go to all lengths to avoid it | 06:18 |
| probs | I've tried testing others but they all crash | 06:18 |
| probs | why is esd the default? | 06:18 |
| schweeb | all lengths being not using software mixing | 06:18 |
| WW | Did you all get find in Firefox 1.0PR to work? Doesn't work for me, even after changing Preferences->Advanced->Accessibility options. | 06:18 |
| subterrific | probs: i have no clue. lets see if we can't get ALSA working for you | 06:18 |
| probs | subterrific: that sounds awesome | 06:19 |
| schweeb | subterrific: yea, that dmix script works perfect for me | 06:19 |
| WW | Also, if I use highlighting, and type something, and then backspace to erase what I typed, any highlighted that occurred inside a form is not unhighlighted. | 06:19 |
| subterrific | quit all apps that use sound and go into gstreamer-properties and switch everything to use ALSA | 06:19 |
| WW | Bug 1628 says NOTABUG. | 06:19 |
| schweeb | if someone could write a simple app to auto generate a dmix asoundrc, it'd be sweet | 06:19 |
| subterrific | and then killall esd :) | 06:20 |
| probs | subterrific: okay..killing esd... | 06:20 |
| subterrific | schweeb: i'm going to see if i can do that | 06:20 |
| schweeb | I would, but don't have enough time, nor do I care to learn about dmix now | 06:20 |
| schweeb | plus, my app wouldn't exacly be HIG compliant :p | 06:21 |
| probs | subterrific: okay...dead:) | 06:21 |
| subterrific | probs: now start some audio playing in rhythmbox or something and then go into Applications->Multimedia->Volume Control and unmute your output channels and turn up the volume until you hear something :) | 06:21 |
| schweeb | whiprush: ... | 06:21 |
| schweeb | whiprush: why did you mark NOTABUG? | 06:21 |
| subterrific | probs: also do you know what sound card and driver you're using? | 06:21 |
| schweeb | whiprush: it's a bug in ubuntu's package, doesn't matter if it works in the tarball | 06:22 |
| probs | subterrific: yeah..nforce2 mobo w/ ac97... | 06:22 |
| probs | subterrific: rhythmbox crash:) | 06:22 |
| subterrific | probs: thats no good. try totem? | 06:24 |
| probs | subterrific: hey...totem works! | 06:25 |
| subterrific | rhythmbox has some other stability problems | 06:25 |
| subterrific | ok, now. use paste.plone.org and show me the output from lsmod | 06:25 |
| probs | subterrific: uh...sorry...what's paste.plone.org? | 06:26 |
| subterrific | http:// | 06:27 |
| probs | subterrific: wow..that's neat:) | 06:27 |
| subterrific | its a public paste board | 06:27 |
| subterrific | yeah | 06:27 |
| probs | okay..it's there (I guess) | 06:28 |
| subterrific | probs: ok, now download this: http://subterrific.net/~jason/intel8x0_asoundrc and save it to .asoundrc in your home directory | 06:30 |
| subterrific | now you've got multichannel mixing, so multiple apps (like gaim + totem + rhythmbox) can all play audio at the same time | 06:30 |

| subterrific | i think you might need to restart totem, but play audio in totem and then type this on the command line: aplay /usr/lib/openoffice/share/gallery/sounds/train.wav | 06:31 |
| whiprush | they changed the behaviour upstream | 06:31 |
| whiprush | so, it's not an ubuntu bug | 06:31 |
| schweeb | it is | 06:32 |
| schweeb | it needs to be fixed in the package | 06:32 |
| whiprush | dude try it on the upstream tarball | 06:32 |
| schweeb | i.e. repackaged | 06:32 |
| whiprush | they shut it off | 06:32 |

| toyowheelin | the system wants to use alsa "default" in xmms I specified hw:1,0 in the alsa configure thingy | 07:06 |

| subterrific | toyowheelin: paste your asoundrc http://paste.plone.org/ for me to see | 07:07 |

| subterrific | oh, you're not using an asoundrc file? | 07:07 |
| toyowheelin | I dont know what one is | 07:07 |
| toyowheelin | or where to find it | 07:08 |

| toyowheelin | cool...I might need to make one...stuff might actually work than | 07:12 |

| probs | subterrific: okay, after reboot I am back to the error from a few days ago where it says 'alsa device default is used by another program' | 07:13 |
| toyowheelin | well the only reason I have 2 sound cards is so I can play flightsim in winxp with my gameport joystick | 07:13 |

| toyowheelin | the pci soundcard is just there for the gameport | 07:13 |

| subterrific | Tjoklat: i think so :\ | 07:29 |
| toyowheelin | one thing that I love about this project and dint like so much with mandrake is that this project is staying on top of the latest versions of programs and mandrake was like way behind | 07:29 |

| subterrific | toyowheelin: me too | 07:29 |
| schweeb | I like beep-media-player | 07:29 |
| probs | subterrific: you know...I just realized, I think the reason totme was working is because I uninstalled the gstreamer version and installed the xine version a while back | 07:30 |
| Tjoklat | I don't like xmms | 07:30 |
| subterrific | probs: maybe, i think xine might be using ALSA though | 07:30 |
| toyowheelin | once ubuntu gets KDE though I will be extreamly happy | 07:30 |
| Tjoklat | but to fire up a whole juke like rhytm.. | 07:30 |
| subterrific | probs: see if aplay /usr/lib/openoffice/share/gallery/sounds/train.wav works | 07:30 |
| Tjoklat | I was hoping for beep | 07:30 |
| schweeb | xine can use alsa, definitely | 07:30 |
| Tjoklat | I am glad there isn't kde | 07:30 |
| Tjoklat | sorry toy | 07:30 |
| schweeb | Tjoklat: beep is in universe | 07:30 |
| probs | subterrific: yeah, that's what I was thinking...maybe the problem is just with gstreamer and not alsa? | 07:30 |
| probs | subterrific: yep it plays perfectly | 07:31 |
| toyowheelin | I have just "grown up" on KDE and prefer it over gnome...I feel lost in gnome | 07:31 |
| Tjoklat | schweeb thanks... a bit worried about using universe | 07:31 |
| subterrific | probs: hrm, thats pointing to gstreamer then | 07:31 |
| Tjoklat | isn't that the pool that breaks things? | 07:31 |
| schweeb | well | 07:31 |
| schweeb | there aren't any package name collisions afaik | 07:31 |

| subterrific | schweeb: run gstreamer-properties and switch everything to ALSA. i've been telling everyone to try that and so far prob is the first person who has any problems | 07:37 |
| schweeb | well, yea, did that long ago | 07:37 |
| probs | subterrific: haha...maybe it's because I don't have gstreamer-alsa installed? | 07:37 |

| probs | subterrific: yeah, it wasn't installed before | 07:40 |
| subterrific | gstreamer0.8-alsa is what you want | 07:40 |
| subterrific | make sure you didn't just install an old version | 07:41 |
| probs | subterrific: oh ah hm, I think I did:) | 07:41 |

| probs | subterrific: so did you end up installing that patch because of a similar problem? | 07:42 |
| subterrific | probs: i ended up doing the patch because there was no driver for my sound card in the kernel, but there was one recently added to ALSA | 07:43 |
| subterrific | i don't think the patch will help you, since it is gstreamer-alsa only that is causing problems | 07:43 |

| subterrific | probs: if you really can't live without rhythmbox, maybe you could try setting gstreamer to use OSS, but stay away from esd ;) | 07:44 |
| probs | subterrific: I'll try that:) | 07:45 |
| subterrific | otherwise you might have to stay away from gstreamer apps till they fix their shit :\ | 07:45 |
| subterrific | i've had a ton of issues with gstreamer and rhythmbox, they aren't the most stable combo | 07:46 |
| probs | subterrific: yeah I've had similar problems with other distros as well... | 07:46 |
| probs | subterrific: but I think I can live without gstreamer...probably even rhythmbox as well | 07:47 |
| subterrific | i think its mostly gstreamer and not rhythmbox too because i used to think totem sucked, but since i tried totem-xine i've had no problems | 07:47 |
| schweeb | gstreamer's video plugins suck | 07:47 |
| schweeb | the audio plugins are pretty good | 07:47 |
| schweeb | gstreamer's alsa used to be pretty bad | 07:48 |
| schweeb | much better now | 07:48 |
| ish | Is there a command to make speedstep kick in (scale the cpu speed down)? | 07:48 |

| schweeb | use debian marillat | 08:01 |

| krischan | My first question: Why is root account disabled by default? I find it to be confusing that SuperUser and my user do have the same password. Isn't that a little unsafe? | 11:14 |
| Keybuk | they don't ... sudo just asks for your password, if you set a root password it would still ask for yours | 11:15 |
| === seb128 [~seb128@ANancy-111-1-26-32.w81-51.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| krischan | Yes, although something I'm not used to: sudo is already configured. On my old distro I always wanted to configure it, but never came around to it. | 11:17 |
| krischan | Well, but the point is: some graphical configuration tools ask for root password, and there my user password is accepted. Isn't that strange? | 11:18 |
| Mayday | it uses sudo | 11:19 |
| krischan | Mayday, my thought as well. | 11:20 |
| Mayday | to gain root and not su, moste graphical applications is modified to use gksudo instead of gksu | 11:20 |
| Kamion | krischan: if they explicitly say "root password", please file a bug; they should mostly say something like "please enter your password to gain root access" | 11:20 |

| krischan | Another question: I've read that using Debian packages for installing at Ubuntu is generally not a good idea, because they have been compiled on another platform. Strictly seen, does that mean that I can't make use of the many Debian packages that are there? Do I have to wait until somebody offers a desired software as Ubuntu package? | 11:31 |
| Kamion | krischan: that's what the 'universe' component is for (unsupported, though) | 11:32 |

| ondrej | sabdfl: I looked at gnome-btdownload project mentioned in Wiki page. It looks good, except it uses FileChooserDialog from not-released pygtk. So I hacked it to use FileChooserDialog if available and in other cases use FileSelection (and bit of other tweaking to hide differences in UI). Also I have fixed searching for glade files, which was using hardcoded paths. So what now? Is there some requirements on BitTorrent UI? | 01:03 |

| sabdfl | ondrej: i think what we want is something that will (a) Just Work when you click on a torrent link in firefox or epiphany, (b) something that Looks Good, and by good we mean Gnome HIG compliant, simply, classy icons. It should also be easily usable, listing all downloads in progress, and completed, and items being pushed. Does yours do that? | 01:07 |

| mjg59 | Tsjoklat: Yes, the root filesystem will be marked unknown in mtab | 02:21 |
| pitti | stevedeo: probably it will fail because we have different libraries and "older" versions | 02:21 |
| Tsjoklat | really? | 02:21 |
| mjg59 | It's because of the way rootfs works | 02:22 |
| Tsjoklat | why is that mjg? | 02:22 |
| mjg59 | The kernel uses a special rootfs filesystem for / | 02:22 |
| Tsjoklat | something new? | 02:22 |
| mjg59 | It's because it's mounted by the kernel rather than going through mount | 02:22 |

| krischan | fyi, hdd4 is where my Linux is installed on. | 02:36 |
| Tsjoklat | according to mjg | 02:36 |
| Tsjoklat | I had the same question | 02:36 |
| krischan | How can it be "type unknown"? | 02:36 |
| mjg59 | krischan: Yeah, that's normal | 02:36 |
| mjg59 | It's because / is mounted by the kernel, not userspace | 02:37 |
| mjg59 | And mtab is kept up to date by userspace, not the kernel | 02:37 |
| krischan | Oh, I see. Interesting detail. As far as I remember this didn't print under Fedora, where I come from. (I use Ubuntu since yesterday evening :) | 02:38 |
| mjg59 | It's cosmetic rather than anything else - if you check /proc/mounts (which is kept up to date by the kernel) it'll tell you what filesystem is being used | 02:39 |

One is my old /home (at the moment I still work without my old data) and the other a FAT partition with music and video stuff. At my first Ubuntu install, I mounted the FAT partition during install. Result was: | 02:43 |
| krischan | First time Ubuntu booted up, it took ages because there were many messages about corrupted blocks, truncated blocks occuring on the FAT partition. Would you recommend to check the FAT's filesystem somehow before I mount it? | 02:45 |
| Lowe | lol>(13:44:28) cid_designs: quite near, but that's not why it's cold. Every door and window is open | 02:45 |

| mjg59 | krischan: It probably shouldn't be trying to fsck the FAT partitions. It sounds like it generally gets things wrong. | 02:50 |
| === mako [mako@micha.hampshire.edu] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| krischan | mjg59, would you recommend a fsck on that partition in general? | 02:51 |
| krischan | Never done this before, under Fedora no problem like that ever occured. | 02:51 |
| mjg59 | krischan: What I'd recommend (and I'm not really a Ubuntu developer :) ) is that you edit /etc/fstab and change the pass field to 0 for the fat partitions | 02:53 |
| mjg59 | That'll stop them being fscked | 02:53 |
| moyogo | krischan: did you just do a fresh install off of the cd? | 02:58 |
| moyogo | krischan: i had the same issue, changing the 2 into 0 in /etc/fstab for my fat partition worked | 02:59 |

| JanneM | was thinking of getting one to dual-boot, actually | 04:23 |
| jdub | i'd suggest osx first ;) | 04:24 |
| JanneM | the point of buying another machine is to play with ubuntu (and other linux distros) | 04:24 |

| JanneM | so it'd be dual-booted if I get it at all | 04:25 |

| JanneM | yep | 04:26 |
| phloww | oh ;) kay | 04:26 |
| Kinnison | if you want to have to enter the root password use 'su' not 'sudo' | 04:26 |
| JanneM | sudo checks that the person sitting in front of the machine is the one that is logged in | 04:26 |

| Kosai | Yeah. | 05:24 |
| Kosai | Just did apt-get install kde, after adding universe to sources.list. | 05:24 |

| Lowe | KDE is a resource hog. (especially when i only have 256mb ram :( ) | 05:25 |
| schvenk | i haven't been able to...when I select any KDE package (after enabling universe) in the SPM, I get dependency errors | 05:25 |
| schvenk | much more so than gnome? | 05:25 |

| schvenk | (btw, sorry for the extensive paste...was hoping it'd all come through in one post) | 05:30 |
| Nonphasis | schvenk, dunno about synaptic - it might just be able to make the deps in your system such that kde could install | 05:30 |
| Nonphasis | Nonphasis, or jus wait for the packages to unbreak | 05:30 |
| schvenk | nonphasis: oh, so it might be a server-side problem? | 05:32 |
| Nonphasis | schvenk, well, often it's because the dependencies are broken in the servers | 05:32 |
| Nonphasis | schvenk, waiting sorts such a situation out | 05:33 |
| schvenk | nonphasis: i see. was assuming it was a problem in my distribution | 05:33 |
| schvenk | nonphasis: thanks | 05:33 |
| Nonphasis | schvenk, in fact, I would wait until kde goes "official" in ubuntu | 05:33 |

| WW | flokker: Yeah, I thought there might be more needed for the URI. Still not sure, though. | 06:41 |
| krischan | chapeaurouge, I'm not an expert either, but AFAIK you can't compile/install something from source and then later _upgrade_ it - because the apt-get database is unaware that the installed software exists. BUT: there is a nice little tool called "checkinstall" (goto Google) it redirects "make install" into a package, and then you can install that package with usual measures. | 06:42 |
| noxfu | topyli: Yes, yes you can.....but that's not the quick easy answer that he was looking for. :o) | 06:42 |

| flokker | WW: what os run on that pc? | 06:45 |
| WW | i.e. is cupsd.conf configured to allow access from the local network? | 06:45 |
| WW | The printer is attached to ubuntu; the other computer has libranet. | 06:46 |

| schweeb | use CUPS then | 06:50 |
| WW | schweeb: How do I tell the client where the printer is? | 06:50 |
| schweeb | you'll have to allow remote access to CUPS from your client | 06:50 |
| schweeb | you can use printer adverisement through SLP, but you'll have to read the cups adverisement through that | 06:51 |

| WW | s/is involve/it involve/ | 06:56 |
| schweeb | you'll probably have to do a bit of editing on both sides, yes | 06:56 |
| WW | schweeb: OK, thanks. | 06:57 |
| schweeb | I've never really messed with the printer advertisement stuff... I run a domain | 06:57 |
| fragg | with that umask you don't apply ejecution permission to /fat | 06:57 |
| fragg | so you are not able to open it | 06:57 |
| fragg | your umask sholud be 222 | 06:58 |
| fragg | for example to have read and ejecution permission | 06:58 |
| fragg | i think that | 06:58 |
| srbaker | is hdparm on the ubuntu install disk? | 06:59 |
| srbaker | so i can run it before it starts copying stuff to the drive? | 06:59 |
| schweeb | do you need to force DMA on or something? | 07:00 |
| schweeb | cause the kernel is usually pretty good at determining if you should use DMA | 07:01 |

| srbaker | schweeb, well, i don't know. i'm trying to figure out what the problem is | 07:02 |
| fragg | ok | 07:02 |
| fragg | great | 07:02 |
| krischan | fragg, then I bother you with the next question: who needs to have execution privileges, only root? Or also Group and Others? I'll try if umask=011 is gonna work to. | 07:02 |
| srbaker | there's a long wait between each of the screens that doesn't exist in sarge. | 07:03 |
| srbaker | and hardware detection takes a long time | 07:03 |
| schweeb | you need execution privs on the directories to cd into them | 07:03 |
| Se7h | haum... | 07:03 |
| Se7h | Can't find file for package 'WinDrv' | 07:03 |
| Se7h | how can i fix this ? | 07:03 |
| fragg | mmm | 07:03 |
| fragg | let me think about it | 07:03 |
| krischan | It works. Obviously execution privilege for root is the crucial point. | 07:04 |
| srbaker | hdparm reports the same settings in both sarge and ubuntu | 07:05 |
| srbaker | but ubuntu is *really* *really* slow | 07:05 |
| jdub | srbaker: what kind of machine? | 07:05 |
| jdub | srbaker: pipka had the same problem | 07:05 |
| srbaker | jdub, toshiba tecra 8100, p3-750, 128M | 07:05 |
| jdub | aha | 07:05 |
| jdub | interesting | 07:05 |
| jdub | she has a satellite | 07:05 |
| srbaker | jdub, oh? what's pipka using? | 07:05 |
| srbaker | excellent. that narrows it down | 07:05 |
| srbaker | the satellite is just a more expensive tecra :) | 07:05 |
| jdub | might be related to acpi/apm support? | 07:05 |
| srbaker | maybe | 07:06 |
| schweeb | definitely sounds like a DMA issue | 07:06 |
| srbaker | jdub, would loading the acpi/apm moduels help by any chance? | 07:07 |
| srbaker | schweeb, same DMA settings on both setups | 07:07 |
| schweeb | what kernel do you use in sarge? | 07:07 |
| srbaker | i always install with linux26 | 07:07 |
| srbaker | so 2.6.8 | 07:07 |
| schweeb | well | 07:07 |
| jdub | schweeb: don't think it's DMA, it's the entire system, not I/O | 07:07 |
| schweeb | whatever's on the install CD | 07:07 |
| schweeb | unless you upgrade | 07:07 |
| schweeb | think RC1 has like 2.6.4 or something | 07:08 |
| srbaker | jdub, i think i may have to do FC2 for a few days. | 07:08 |
| srbaker | jdub, but on sunday/monday, i can do a few more tests. | 07:08 |
| jdub | srbaker: cool, thanks | 07:08 |
| jdub | srbaker: i have to steal pipka's machine some time and have a poke, too | 07:08 |
| srbaker | jdthood, oh, there's an option in kernel config "Toshiba Laptop Support". | 07:08 |
| srbaker | i think that's enabled in sarge, it may not be enabled in ubuntu | 07:08 |
| fragg | krischan | 07:08 |
| srbaker | i'll switch kernels and build myself a new ubuntu disk and test that for oyu | 07:09 |
| jdub | srbaker: modprobe toshiba :) | 07:09 |
| fragg | it's de crucial poinr as you say | 07:09 |
| srbaker | well, for me. so you don't have to :P | 07:09 |
| srbaker | jdub, did pipka try that? | 07:09 |
| jdub | srbaker: it was already loaded, from what i remember | 07:09 |
| schweeb | or it could be the laptop_mode support | 07:09 |
| srbaker | ooh | 07:09 |
| srbaker | oh, i had to use the vga=771 for the slow-scrolling text, too | 07:09 |
| fragg | because when you mount de device, mount point's owner is root b | 07:10 |
| fragg | because when you mount de device, mount point's owner is root | 07:10 |
| fragg | mmm | 07:10 |
