[01:28] i fail to see exactly what that would accomplish [01:28] azeem: all of them [01:28] chutwig: it would keep people from, err, casually creating new files. [01:28] your idea is somewhat lacking [01:29] I'd have thought it would be better to have the save function disabled for a new file, but the save as function enabled. [01:29] Yes, its lacking a save as menu [01:29] how would you propose letting somebody save a new copy of a file, then? [01:29] Once a file's been saved, then you should be able to save it as something else. [01:29] robertj: so you would introduce an rcs to keep track of the changes? [01:30] Anyone know where I can buy a thinkpad in syndey? jdub? [01:30] yeah, instead of keeping things simple, let's make them insanely complex and liable to break [01:30] azeem: exactly [01:31] even if it was just checking out a file that was "keep only most recent copy" [01:31] I think somebody wrote about something similar on desktop-devel-list a while ago [01:31] although d-d-l is not the place for it [01:32] well, #ubuntu probably neither :) [01:32] but this is ranting [01:32] if you don't want random ranting, become a listserv hermit ;) [01:33] oh, I forgot === normalperson [normalpers@102.188.150.66.client.la-2.losangeles.nuclearfallout.net] has left #ubuntu [] [01:37] There is no way to get to gstreamer-properties via the menu that I know of [01:37] (random comment) [01:37] tvon: intentional [01:37] robertj: ah === goatboy_ [~tim@dialup-4.242.177.75.Dial1.Seattle1.Level3.net] has joined #ubuntu [01:39] also, I noticed there is no services configuration for g-s-t, was this removed? === Wsquared [~wweckesse@67-138-146-101.dsl1.nor.ny.frontiernet.net] has joined #ubuntu [01:42] yeah, it's out right now === Wsquared is now known as WW [01:42] i imagine it'll make its way back in eventually === tvon nods [01:42] For a default install its probably preferred to not have it I'd think, but anyone who installs extra things they want running at startup might be annoyed [01:42] if you really want it back you could get the debian experimental deb === tvon shrugs [01:43] i think there needs to be a little more lockdown on services === moyogo [~moyogo@Toronto-HSE-ppp3874280.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu [01:43] i can't think of any real reason for an end-user to be running an MTA, for example [01:43] yeah, thats the sorta thing I was thinking about [01:43] it should probably be disabled by default, really === glens [~glens@203-206-82-234.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu [01:44] besides which, most of the time if someone installs an extra "service" based package, chances are they want it running on boot and we can manage it [01:44] I'm trying to run a commercial program (Maple) that I know work in another Debian distro based with kernel 2.4.21. When I run it, I get: [01:44] tvon: right [01:44] /usr/local/maple_su/bin.IBM_INTEL_LINUX/maplew: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [01:45] WW: do ls /usr/lib/libstdc* [01:45] /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 === tvon notices there is no GDM preview for Human [01:45] you need to get another libstdc package [01:46] i forget its name, but i think it's under base system in synaptic [01:46] if it's not there, search for libstdc and look for the one labelled version 6 === tvon thinks ubuntu needs some aesthetic love in general [01:48] i think linux needs some aesthetic love in general [01:48] chutwig: apt-cache search shows a libstdc++5 and libstdc++6. So it might be as easy as installing libstdc++6? [01:48] No offense to anyone involved, but the default GDM theme looks like poop..literally..nasty poop all over the background :-D [01:48] WW: yeah, try that [01:48] IMO and all of course [01:48] bugzilla aint too perdy either [01:48] tvon: i agree, beige isn't the best color [01:48] it's not even beige, it's like "i ate a whole lot of cheap indian food at 2 AM last night" [01:49] chutwig: Thanks, I'll try it in a bit. I'm upgrading now, and OpenOffice is big. [01:49] that it is [01:49] chutwig: hah, exactly [01:49] tvon: i think in general linux suffers from a major lack of good administration tools [01:49] I dont care for the gtk theme brown either...I think indubstrial looks great with the default watermark background/color though [01:50] there's too much of an attitude of "the user should learn the command line if there's not a GUI tool for it" [01:50] chutwig: I agree. I generally really like the fedora-system tools though [01:50] chutwig: yeah [01:50] i mean, i think it's quite possible to make unix and unix-like systems friendly enough that you never have to touch a terminal [01:50] my normal computer is a testament to that [01:51] chutwig: Speaking of admin tools, I was asking here earlier if there is a GUI for editing/maintaining cupsd.conf. Apparently not.

I'm not sure if there is something in mind or not though, so perhaps I can help by providing something :) [01:54] i think that it would make a good default ubuntu gdm theme with the ubuntu logo replacing the gnome logo and maybe some color changes [01:55] chutwig: tis called the face browser, and yeah I generally like it too (when there is more than one user for the system and they have actually provided login photos) [01:55] yeah [01:55] eventually i expect the system configuration stuff on first boot will be replaced with GUI stuff and then you can properly set up users that way [01:55] maybe find some free stock artwork and throw it in there for photos like what apple does with OS X [01:55] maybe I will go to my ubuntu box and dig around for the artwork ;) [01:56] the base install doesn't work for me [01:56] free and public domain stock art, that is [01:56] yeah, thats a debian-installer thing (gtk frontend) that I know some people are interested in [01:56] hrm [01:56] lichte: we need more information to help you than "it doesn't work" === tvon checks creative commons [01:56] chutwig, sure.

It doesn't configure browsing. [01:57] s/I that/I see that/ [01:57] could be a corrupted image or a botched burn [01:58] ok [01:58] hmmm [01:58] if you downloaded the i386 ISO, your md5 should be 9750df59b73428b68e681c3c44b31ff5 [01:58] virtual console 3 says "initrd-tools is already the newest version" [01:59] and then it spits out a ton of unmet dependencies lines [01:59] all libraries [01:59] mostly gnome libraries [01:59] that happened to me when the hard drive in my junk computer blew up halfway through the install [02:00] this is a brand new computer [02:00] I'll try it on another computer [02:00] not saying the computer is at fault, but you'd be surprised [02:00] I know what you mean [02:00] check md5 before on iso downloaded [02:00] well, I'm in a lab with 17 computers [02:00] how can I check md5 on XP?

[03:24] Does ubuntu install and startup a firewall? [03:24] No, but it doesn't run any network daemons. [03:27] Kosai, what you mean ? [03:28] he means that a firewall isnt needed since there arent anything open to allow/block access to? === haggai_ [~halls@pD9EA7725.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu [03:28] Yup. [03:29] Mayday, so postix and cups an all other services only listen on local lan ? [03:29] If you're clueful enough to be installing your own services, you're clueful enough to work out that you need a firewall for them. [03:29] LinuxJones: postfix doesn't accept random mail for other sites, so there's no need to firewall it. [03:30] well postfix only listens on 127.0.0.1 [03:31] try: netstat -an|grep LISTEN|grep -i tcp [03:31] or maybe egrep -i "tcp|udp" [03:31] only thing listening on my ubuntu is 111 (portmap) [03:32] Mayday, I don't run any services like postix netstat -tap is empty [03:33] kosai: I installed sshd. I can connect via a machine on the same subnet, but I cannot connect to a machine from the intranet. I can connect to a Fedora machine if I tell my router to forward port 22 to it. I think Ubuntu is blocking all extra-net traffic because there is no log off my attempt to connect. [03:33] kosai: I installed sshd. I can connect via a machine on the same subnet, but I cannot connect to a machine from the *internet*. I can connect to a Fedora machine if I tell my router to forward port 22 to it.

[03:36] if the ubuntu is the machine your irc'in from all ports betveen 1 and 100 are filtered, you are sure that router of yours isnt the problem? [03:37] Mayday: My router only forwards 80 and 22. I'm going to start a httpd on Ubuntu to see if that works. [03:42] Kurtis: I've also installed sshd, and can get to my ubuntu machine from the public net. [03:43] Kosai: show off.

[07:23] Tsjoklat sleep is winning the battle [07:24] like always [07:24] lol [07:25] brad[] , yea [07:26] joem: Nice - I think what would be interesting is creating a default KDE environment with a nice, defined set of options, cleaned up toolbars, ordered menus etc, something of a way to show how KDE should look per default === ajuko_jdjs is now known as jdjs_ [07:26] Maybe it'd give upstream some ideas ;) [07:26] TongMaster: i believe so, yeah [07:26] okay, I'm copying /cdrom/pool/main/*/*/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/ [07:27] yea,default kde is pretty ugly [07:32] heh. that's a hell of an understatement. === clee says this with his KDE Developer badge on. [07:33] the main thing i don't like about default KDE is that god-forsaken clock === brad[] customizes the heck out of his KDE desktop to make it usable [07:33] well [07:33] the computer's been running the prime95 torture test for about 2 hours now without any problems [07:34] i'd say this processor survived the jump to 300 mhz [07:39] KDE has some things I like, but for the most part I find it overly complicated [07:40] I have to do very little customization to Gnome to get it to what I like [07:40] Add a couple of key bindings, add what I want to the panel, and pick a theme [07:40] its all about sane defaults [07:40] KDE suffers from an extreme case of linuxitis [07:40] OPTIONS FOR EVERYTHING [07:40] I also think the gnome HIG does a lot for the UI...kde apps always seem crowded [07:40] and options for options [07:40] chutwig: yeah [07:40] seriously [07:41] chutwig: Well, options are good, but many should be out of view by default ;) [07:41] brad[] : i take the macintosh view of options [07:41] The computer shouldn't ask you anything it should already know [07:41] hehe [07:41] hide whatever people aren't likely to use, and the people that would be using those options are the ones that don't mind digging through flat files to find it :) [07:42] exactly [07:42] i've gone rooting around my preference plists on here hundreds of times to find obscure settings, but that doesn't bug me, because it's something that 99% of users will never even think to look for [07:42] Well, flat files blah but preference panes with advanced options or such [07:42] yeah but then you run into stupid things like the metacity people flat out refusing to allow a window to EVER go above the screen [07:42] above the screen? [07:42] yeah [07:42] GoneBoB: Yeah I had some fun with issues like that when metacity was first shipped with GNOME 2.0 [07:43] alt drag a window up [07:43] Nothing would go into full-screen mode properly [07:43] i dunno, that seems like a smart move to me, keep people from putting windows where they can't get them back in an obvious manner [07:43] they refused to make it an option and said they wouldn't include it even if I wrote a patch for it [07:43] chestie: sure, but me and people I know specifically want to be able to [07:43] I know how to get them back.. it's not like it needs to be in a major conf dialog [07:44] i guess it's different with X, though, to get things like fullscreen and stuff [07:44] OS X doesn't let you push windows off the top or bottom edges either, it makes sure the entire titlebar is visible if you try [07:44] GoneBoB, did I say something?

No worries, I'll ask again later ;-) [10:39] yojimbo-san: you'll want something like "macosx=/dev/hda9" in your yaboot.conf, and a deafault line (from memory - i don't boot osx by default) [10:41] Yep, the 'macosx' line is already present, and the 'defaultos' line is well documented, I guess I'm wondering if I have to run 'ybin' or something (I'm used to lilo, and seeing GRUB just read config files at boot time made me want to be careful with assumptions) [10:41] maybe.. [10:41] :-) [10:42] generally with yaboot you have to [10:42] ok, I might risk it ... :-) [10:42] dudes, is there a PlanetUbuntu somewhere?

[10:54] Hmmmmm_: yes, the kde packages are there, in universe [10:55] Hmmmmm_: after a default install you will have a gnome desktop [10:55] Hmmmmm_: you can then edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include the universe component [10:55] i myslf live on gnome [10:55] Hmmmmm_: and then you install kde [10:55] my bro uses kde [10:55] sabdfl, so i just do an "apt-get install kde"? [10:56] Hmmmmm_: effectively yes. not sure of (a) how you get rid of gnome, and (b) whether "kde" is the correct basic package to use that will pull in the rest of kde too [10:56] sabdfl: yah, kde is right [10:56] but you'll figure all of that out quickly [10:56] i dont wana get rid of gnome [10:56] i want both [10:57] another option might be to do a custom "server" install, no X at all, then pull in kde, to avoid having gnome in the first place [10:57] Hmmmmm_: ok [10:57] daniels, so will "apt-get install kde" do the trick? [10:57] Hmmmmm_: yep [10:57] thnx [10:58] also can i copy the stuff i hav already installed using apt-get [10:58] and reuse it after i reinstall? [10:59] Hmmm, look in /var/cache/apt/archives [10:59] I really wanto to try ubuntu but the installation aborts with a "Disk error 01, AX = 4236, drive 9F", anyone had problems like this? [10:59] Hmmm. you should find all the downloaded .deb files. [10:59] hawksmoor, what hardware are you using? [11:00] packard bell laptop amd k6-2 128 megs ram 450 mhz, trydent cyberblade video card, via 86cxxx audio [11:00] yojimbo-san, can i also copy this stuff to someone else's ubuntu install and save him the trouble of downloading it ?

Where did you get your CD from? [11:04] it happens booting, right at the beginning and a friend of mine with adsl downloaded it yesterday from the italian mirror (i'm italian, by the way9 [11:04] yojimbo-san, i'll giv it a shot [11:04] what's the status of the kernel-image-2.6 virtual packages? [11:04] ciao ;-) Can you verify the md5 checksums of the CD image you burnt? Perhaps the download was corrupted, or the CD is a bad burn? [11:04] Are they a universe thing or a supported thing? [11:05] yojimbo-san, twice the booting let me arrive to the splash screen and then stopped before it [11:05] I guess they'd be linux-image if they were supported. [11:05] hawksmoor, that sounds a lot like a CD problem ... [11:06] Ah yes, there's a linux-image virtual package too === Hmmmmm_ [~sukrit@61.247.244.105] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [11:07] hypatia, try "apt-cache policy " to see what area it came from ... [11:07] mmm.... I thought so, if I copy the cd just like it's only data (i.e. not like a bootable cd) and then burn it from my powerbook using disk image, you think it could do the trick? === oik [~amorris@m97-mp1.cvx1-b.man.dial.ntli.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:08] hawksmoor: disk image has had problems with the ubuntu cds before, causing it to crash. [11:08] hawksmoor, I think you should use md5sum to get the checksum of the CD, and compare that with the ubuntu download website first. [11:09] yojimbo-san, now that I remember, my friend using windows xp :-( at first read the file as a winrar archive [11:10] Well, I hope that they havent broken their original download. Check it! [11:11] The md5 checksum should be '9750df59b73428b68e681c3c44b31ff5 warty-i386.iso ' (from http://ftp3.linux.it/pub/mirrors/warty/MD5SUMS for the 15 Sep 2004 file) [11:11] seems that the cd surface is scratched, i feel like i've ad a bit of bad luck! [11:12] I think it's good luck that you didn't get half-way through the install before finding out that your CD was broken! [11:12] Think positively :-) [11:12] eheheh right ;-) === jordi [~jordi@115.Red-213-96-69.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:12] yojimbo-san: thanks [11:13] Hey all === Romendo [~Romendo@80.109.161.44] has joined #ubuntu [11:14] hey oik ... can we help you?

[11:16] well yes, there is the message 'fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory' [11:16] hawksmoor, it might be in the 'universe' packages ... but I can only see a couple of related packages at the moment ... [11:17] thanks, you're very kind [11:18] Under Debian, tha package is called 'fluxbox', and this is certainly not in the current ubuntu packages ... [11:20] no, i mean is there a way to have it listed among the others before logging (graphical log.... I'm a newbie and not quite comfortable using primarily the command lie) [11:21] You mean, you already have fluxbox installed and working?

[02:31] sudo aptitude install build-essential [02:31] thanks though truk-away [02:31] azeem: most linux distributions have it [02:31] polok: no doubt that's a feature [02:31] polok: well yeah, but it's a feature [02:32] polok: ubuntu is desktop target, no needs of gcc by default [02:32] polok: most users don't need it, and most hackers would like to have it [02:32] heh [02:32] I need it for uni work. [02:32] so install it, it's easy [02:32] truk-away: I did [02:32] polok: so enjoy it ;) [02:33] again, it's the first distro I've seen that didn't come with it by default [02:33] however, it came with python [02:33] much fun will be had with python [02:33] i think it's good idea gcc not installed by default [02:33] I'm indifferent [02:33] it's just a surprise [02:33] we all here are different [02:34] polok: well, the python maintainer is also the gcc maintainer, and he works at canonical [02:34] I noticed when trying to compile fluxbox [02:34] lol [02:34] but for newbies, it's good [02:34] polok: so there's no conspiracy against gcc :) === wido [~wido@matrix.heim7.tu-clausthal.de] has joined #ubuntu [02:34] who exactly is canonical?

Trying to do it through computer--> system config --> time gives "NTP support is not running" [02:43] just need to know the commmand to get it running really [02:44] mike_w: /etc/default/ntpdate? [02:45] doesn't exist [02:45] lilo workx :> [02:45] Qerub: erm... sorry, yes it does!

Don't need to run a server, but how do I make it sync the time on boot? [02:52] the bloody thing runs faster under ubuntu and it's a binary package I assume, too [02:52] mike_w, it does by default afaik, well in my case anyway [02:53] polok: gentoo has a binary openoffice package also :) [02:54] linux_mafia: okay, thanks. Will try and pay more attention next boot.

[02:57] linux_mafia: dunno, never heard of it [02:57] linux_mafia: yeah, seems so :) [02:58] azeem: how would I use update-rc.d to add a service to be started at boot? [02:58] mike_w: there's an manpage, 'man update-rc.d' [02:58] mike_w: rcconf might be easier, dunno [02:59] wow. first time i have seen rcconf [02:59] nice [02:59] azeem: thanks [02:59] mike_w, forget what he said, rcconf is tui debian frontend to update-rc.d, there is nothing un1337 about not hacking on the cli === aki_ [~aki@235-152.suscom-maine.net] has joined #ubuntu [03:02] how can i watch movies in avi format? burn home movies in avi as vcd/svcd?

[03:08] aki_, yes [03:08] i think /usr/lib/win32 is the default location xine looks for it [03:09] anyone managed to get totem to play DVDs?

[03:11] grahame, yeah thats just for covering all your base [03:11] <|trey|> grahame: everything from Quicktime to Real to MS's codecs should work...

[08:11] bagpuss: next guess: because of the sabdfl's past? ;) [08:11] First of all, the good points: excellent installation (most of which was d-i, but I liked the customizations for less questions), and nice initial setup.

[08:12] martink: that sounds far more likely. Although given his past, it's strange that the ssl cert and the hostname don't match :) (presumably that's just not been gotten around to yet) [08:13] howdy all, what's cooking? === inklingx [~inklingx@u212-239-167-144.adsl.pi.be] has joined #ubuntu [08:14] The installer easily detected my network card and configured the network, but then chose to install packages via CD. When I rebooted, it then downloaded 30 minutes worth of updates. (That's on DSL.) If it had used the network in the first place, it wouldn't have needed to do that. [08:15] JoshTriplett: intent is to respond sensibly to power management events, but we might get the config exactly right for your hardware, then that'll require tweaking [08:16] ping mjg59 or thom === gommans [~memgomman@213.129.204.59] has joined #ubuntu [08:16] JoshTriplett: i think we may be introducing a question "do you want to download updates now" to the installer [08:16] You have one. [08:17] What I'm suggesting is that they not be "updates", but instead that it uses the network if it has it to do the *initial installation*. [08:17] sabdfl : i thought this was already combined into the installer; ? [08:17] That way, I don't have to install everything from CD, then install everything again from network. [08:17] sivang: yes, it's in already, JoshTriplett confirms [08:17] sabdfl: It asked in base-config. [08:18] The only quibble I have with the installer is it asked me *3* times whether I wanted to start card services and 3 times whether i wanted to load a module for linux-floppy. Surely once is enough in each case? [08:18] Hmmm; no problems there. :) [08:18] JoshTriplett: we copy everything from cd to hdd so the install is quick, and in fact, i don't think it does the install+upgrade, i think it just uses the updated ones rather than the hdd version if you download updates [08:18] sabdfl: yo? [08:18] sabdfl: Interesting. [08:18] bagpuss: haven't seen that behaviour, could you file a bug in bugzilla.ubuntu.com please?

[08:20] thom: Dell Inspiron 8100.

In most cases, the fixed DSDTs are generated by extracting the one from the system and tweaking it; therefore, it would be proprietary to the system manufacturer.

I can install a new system in a few minutes; my home directory is the only irreplaceable item. [09:02] thom: So I made my account equivalent to root. [09:03] Finally, the real blocker issue for me continuing to use Ubuntu: I was never given so much as a prompt, yet I have non-free software on the resulting installed system, and it was on the CD.

[09:11] cbaoth: hmmm, now mine is broken. lemme upgrade [09:11] crimsun: And included in /etc/apt/sources.list too.

[09:13] essentially^ [09:14] krischan: yes [09:14] JoshTriplett: ah, that's why. i agree that should be clarified in the dialogue. [09:14] crimsun: I agreed to install packages from the net. I didn't agree to installing non-free packages. [09:14] crimsun: And that doesn't explain the first line, nor having non-free packages on the CD. [09:14] crimsun: No, it should be separated, not clarified. [09:15] crimsun: "Do you want packages from the net?" and "Do you want non-free packages?". [09:15] a subtle compromise must be struck [09:15] yes, more questions = bad.

[09:23] JoshTriplett: go file it :) [09:23] JoshTriplett: yes [09:23] crimsun: So how did I end up with non-free stuff then? [09:24] JoshTriplett: the kernel-restricted package seems to be non-free. The copyright is huge [09:24] bagpuss: Well, it's a bug one way or another; either the package shouldn't be in restricted, or it shouldn't have GPL in the copyright. [09:24] bagpuss: I know that parts of the kernel modules are (dubiously) GPLed.

Are those the only two packages? [09:34] ForsaKen : "sudo adduser " and give your CURRENT user's password you set up on install [09:34] bagpuss: The only two installed by default, yes. [09:34] JoshTriplett: I'd say it was worthy of a bug anyway [09:35] bagpuss: More are available, since sources.list was configured to include them.

[09:44] ease of administration, robustness, no reboots, no license fees - just earn out supporting the systems.

[09:53] I have intention to package astrisk for ubuntu, I figure they'll make a great combination :-) === xam [~xam@163.148-200-80.adsl.skynet.be] has joined #ubuntu [09:53] anyone tried to install bootsplash ? [09:53] I haven't looked but I would bet more users of Open Source software use it on Windows than on any other platform [09:53] i get an error when i try to install bootsplash pkg.. kernel already patched and recompiled. === xam is now known as x4m [09:54] robertj: Probably, given the sheer number of Windows users. [09:54] robertj : ahh, well, if you are experienced with open source enough, You would really quickly come to the conclusion that it's better used on an open source system like linux = my experience exactly [09:54] mozilla runs far faster on debian than on xp home . heh [09:54] sivang: I can't tell the difference === spacey [~spacey@flits101-191.flits.rug.nl] has left #ubuntu ["RSBAC] [09:55] bagpuss: So should I file the bug in BugZilla that Ubuntu shouldn't include the restricted archive in sources.list without asking, shouldn't include it on the CDs, and shouldn't install packages from it by default? Should that be one bug, or several? [09:55] chapeaurouge: bootsplash wasn't stable enough for release in warty, so we pulled it from the feature list [09:55] Maybe my $300 computer is just so massively overpowered it doesn't matter [09:56] JoshTriplett: that an argument on technical grounds? [09:56] sabdfl: What is? [09:56] JoshTriplett: Okay, so we have the same problem ... if I'd only knew why and how it worked with the default Fedora terminal ... [09:56] JoshTriplett: I don't know that it's a bug as much as a policy disagreement. More something to bring up on the mailing list than in bugzilla [09:56] your personal views on restricted [09:56] i got my sound installed, when i enter gnome sound, and do a test, working, but in team speak, i cant hear or talk, and it's saying that my sound is muted [09:56] Bagpuss: and AFAIK it's already settled [09:56] Restricted is a fact of life for ubuntu. [09:57] sabdfl: Not at all; it's an argument that I should never get non-free software without at least an "OK, that's fine". [09:57] Josh: it's not forced on you [09:57] sabdfl: One single question one time is sufficient. [09:57] sabdfl: ok thanks.. im trying to make it work now, but i get an error.... cp: cannot stat `.orig': No such file or directory and such. [09:57] you are the one who downloaded it [09:57] robertj: Ubuntu? No, it isn't. :) [09:57] restricted is there for a very specific purpose, it's fully redistributable [09:57] sabdfl: So is most of Debian non-free. Your point? [09:58] Josh: no, but most of chili isn't meat but vegitarians don't assume that it's meatless [09:58] And Ubuntu is not Debian [09:58] there aren't applications in restricted, only drivers [09:58] robertj: sure. The website would seem to suggest that the main distribution should be free. Perhaps that needs to be clarified. http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/philosophy/ [09:58] robertj: True enough. (I'm actually a vegetarian, so nice argument. :) ) [09:58] sabdfl: So? [09:59] so, we figure it's better to get free software installed on someone's computer than to leave it in a half-installed mess :-) [09:59] robertj: reading that, you'd be forgiven for being surprised if non-free stuff got installed [09:59] and then we get to make the real pitch for free software [09:59] sabdfl: You don't need the nvidia drivers to install. [09:59] I do. [09:59] you do on some hardware [09:59] sabdfl: I agree fully. I think the website is misleading on the point though [09:59] same goes for ati [09:59] sabdfl: I know of no nVidia hardware that isn't supported by one of "nv", "vesa", or "fbdev". [10:00] sabdfl: Same for ati with s/nv/ati/ [10:00] certainly the very latest ati stuff needs the binary drivers [10:00] ati's new cards are not at all supported [10:00] (or last i checked it did) [10:00] X800 or something [10:00] Regardless, that's called "hardware without Free Software support". [10:01] sabdfl: And I think there is 2D support even for that. [10:01] sabdfl: I could be wrong. [10:01] bagpuss: JoshTriplett: i'll have the website updated to be clearer that restricted software is installed === whiprush would rather have the nvidia drivers than the nv drivers installed by default. [10:01] sabdfl: Thank you; that would at least be a warning label. :) === chapeaurouge backs whiprush [10:01] JoshTriplett: which is why that code is in a separate component, trivial to remove [10:01] sabdfl: And for that matter, mention that it is on the CDs by default. [10:01] where can i see a list of the apt-get mirrors ? [10:01] ForsaKen`: there's a page on the wiki [10:01] becouse the one i got now is downloading at 20kbps [10:02] ForsaKen` : try the wiki, under ahive [10:02] wiki.ubuntulinux.org [10:02] ForsaKen` : archive [10:02] sabdfl: It would be highly preferable to only include it on the web, and use it if asked. [10:02] wiki ? [10:02] whiprush: we won't install non-free drivers if we can help it, they have really bad supportability [10:02] yes, but at least it's easier in ubuntu [10:02] JoshTriplett: doesn't exactly help someone who's wifi card and sole net access require the blob, does it? [10:02] ForsaKen` : http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive [10:02] sab: I think a ! in device manager would be well served [10:02] Kinda like Windows gives for unsigned drivers [10:03] "Your driver is non-free and unsupported by Canonical" [10:03] windows.. ah... [10:03] robertj: that's a good idea, in hal device manager, alert the user appropriately [10:03] sabdfl: Regardless, suppose that someone did have hardware only supported by non-free drivers. As long as it wasn't the network card, then a simple prompt for using non-free from the web archive would be fine. If the install failed without saying "Yes", then that's their decision. [10:04] JoshTriplett: As long as it's not the network card, or the video card, or perhaps the raid controller, or ... [10:04] sab: OTOH, any vendors that play nice with Ubuntu shouldn't get any flack [10:04] just a little entry under properties "Call this number for support" [10:04] spiv: No, just as long as it isn't the network card. [10:04] fair enough, but we looked at it and 99% of people given the prompt say "yes", and the other 1% know how to remove restricted, so I vetoed the question [10:04] It would be kinda neat to have contact info as part of the device driver info [10:05] JoshTriplett: we also put it in a separate component of the archive so that you can print a CD that doesn't have it [10:05] sabdfl: I think thats the right decision [10:05] sabdfl: Fine, then make a boot option, debian-installer/no-non-free=yes, and document it on the boot screens. Regardless, it was _installed by default_; not just configured to install, but installed. [10:05] that sounds reasonable [10:05] JoshTriplett: If there's a disk controller that needs proprietary software to work, then it's hard to install ubuntu, and use all the other 100% free software we have. [10:05] sabdfl: And how about an official CD image that doesn't? [10:05] non-free=no seems like a reasonable option [10:05] spiv: Only if you say "No, don't go get the driver". [10:05] that way it makes rolling your own cd pretty easy [10:05] JoshTriplett: we can have a cd image that doesn't yes, and we can have a boot option in Hoary, please put these on the wiki under Hoary Feature Goals [10:06] JoshTriplett: Believe it or not, not everyone has net access. [10:06] spiv: Then download the "non-free stuff" disk, or floppy. [10:06] although I would hope it didn't show up on the short list of boot shortcuts that some people will need to get their machine to boot at all [10:06] robertj: There are five pages of boot options; there's room. :) [10:06] JoshTriplett: Or put it on the spare space of the original CD... [10:06] I just install vrms, which mails me monthly, that way I can attone for my sins. [10:06] I think this is something for later. At the moment getting warty out the door seems more important [10:07] holy shit.. my computer running ubuntu just shut down! [10:07] Warty seems to be in good condition [10:07] chapeaurouge: did you not ask it to? [10:07] sabdfl : the cd encompasses a complete ubuntu install? I am installing over a dial in broadband, which means i have to vpn dial first before internet access. [10:07] The lack of a real update applet seems like a problem to me [10:07] sabdfl: .. [10:07] other than that, no complaints === tvon [tvon@dsl093-119-225.blt1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:07] second it happened. [10:07] time* [10:07] robertj : you can use synaptic to acomplish just that [10:07] sabdfl: Would it also be reasonable to ask for the no-non-free-included CD image to have non-free=no enabled by default? [10:08] PloneSolutions folks? Q about PlonePortlets [10:08] sivang: I can and do [10:08] eg, is there a way I'm not seeing to control the order of the portlets? [10:08] robertj : ok [10:08] 49 bugs of major or higher [10:08] JoshTriplett: reasonable to ask, but i'm not going to change this for warty, and unlikely to do so for Hoary either [10:08] I'm worried about people not knowing about it [10:08] Mac OS X does it right [10:08] sabdfl: As long as it's on the todo list; I'll come back to try Ubuntu again when it's done. [10:08] Nimrods get goaded into updating because of the dialog :) [10:09] hrm, wrong room [10:09] SP2 seems semi-sane though === moyogo [~moyogo@Toronto-HSE-ppp3874280.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu [10:09] sabdfl: To be honest, it's a trivial change. [10:10] JoshTriplett: yes, it is, go ahead and make it, i encourage derivatives like that [10:11] sabdfl: Well, I personally am not likely to take the time to make such a change, because Debian has the correct behavior by default (except perhaps for the fact that it _possibly_ should ask instead of defaulting to no, for the benefit of some). === Soko [~Soko@d150-236-107.home.cgocable.net] has joined #ubuntu === orchid [orchid@orchid.user] has joined #ubuntu [10:12] debian isn't going anywhere.

[10:12] whiprush: I do like Ubuntu though, and many of the changes it has made. [10:13] amazing [10:13] whiprush: If I didn't, I wouldn't be bothering to provide feedback to try to make it better. [10:14] abuse-sdl actualy *works* under ubuntu [10:14] and builds without error [10:14] I suppose we'll agree to disagree [10:15] on an unrelated note, the sound that clicks when you launch apps is the best ever. [10:15] http://www.clothcat.org/ubuntu/abuse [10:15] upload should be finishe din a few seconds [10:15] hrm, i should turn sounds on, i guess [10:16] or just reinstall :-) [10:16] also, anyone think the cd source needs to come out of /etc/sources.list? [10:16] bagpuss: is that in debian non-free or contrib? [10:16] robertj: not really, why? [10:16] I need drivers for an HP PSC 1350xi all in one print [10:16] robertj: yes, it shouldn't be there if your network was detected during install [10:16] sabdfl: main [10:16] sabdfl: Main, I think. :) === orchid [orchid@orchid.user] has left #ubuntu [] [10:17] thom: because apts like "gimmme the cd' [10:17] sabdfl: it's the first package on my list of "stuff in debian main that appears not to be in ubuntu" [10:17] and most people probably wont have it handy [10:17] bagpuss: then it should be in universe already, if it isn't, please file a bug [10:17] Yo [10:17] well, besides aboot-base, which is asn alpha specific package, and I don't have an alpha to test it with [10:17] wait, so if a package is in sid and not in universe we should file a bug? [10:17] axe9: Is it not in the huge list of printers available by default in Ubuntu? [10:17] I was going to request it on the list instead. [10:18] my mom is pissed cause she can't print her paper, and... [10:18] noo [10:18] bagpuss: there are some packages which FTBFS'd and we haven't had time to nudge them yet, if you file a bug it will get taken care of [10:18] it's not [10:18] axe9: It should have been installed as part of foomatic-ppds. [10:18] looked through it a few times [10:18] whiprush: yes please [10:18] ? [10:18] axe9: Check linuxprinting.org [10:18] sabdfl: okay. Do you have a list of the stuff that FTBFSd? I'm probably going to keep working through the list I hacked up for myself otherwise [10:18] ok. out of curiosity, do new packages in sid and whatnot get automatically pulled into universe for rebuild? === demo [~demo@AStrasbourg-251-1-17-163.w82-126.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu [10:18] ARGH!

[10:19] sabdfl: what component should I file the bug against? [10:19] hmm... UNKNOWN [10:19] okay [10:20] if you could give us the list of missing stuff, that might not be bad. i don't think we have a convenient copy [10:22] Why the hell is ther enot a drive for the HP PSC1350!!! [10:22] hrmm, I did apt-get install glade and now glade is not in my Applications menu === robertj scratches head [10:23] robertj: glade2 is what you want [10:23] or glade-2 even ;) [10:24] where else can I get linuix drivers? [10:24] what component should it be for a universe packaging request then? [10:24] its still not in there ;) [10:24] whiprush: there's a page on the wiki for that [10:24] oh === whiprush looks [10:25] you mean UniverseCandidates? [10:25] that looks like it's for packagers [10:26] axe9: google suggests you want the hpoj package [10:26] sabdfl: I put the items on the HoaryHedgehog Wiki page. Thank you. [10:27] axe9: (apt-get install hpoj ; it's in universe) [10:27] axe9: if you think you have problems [10:27] axe9: you don't have a flatmate that deletes 12 gigabytes of your music collection because "he needed the space" [10:27] lypanov: That's called "Accounts with passwords". [10:28] ARGH! [10:28] lypanov: Your fault as much as theirs, though they still shouldn't have done it. [10:28] it's called "Not giving out accounts" full stop [10:28] JoshTriplett: no. his fault [10:28] why the fuck is tehre a goddamned towel under the chair!!! [10:28] its his computer [10:28] thom: That too. :) [10:28] my harddrive [10:28] lypanov: Hmmm; interesting situation.

[10:28] lol [10:29] rhythmbox-applet [10:29] it's an applet with play controls basically. [10:29] axe9: From that message, the answer looks to be "use the PSC 1300 driver". [10:29] thom: where do you want the list of missing stuff sent?

I ran it properly [10:42] zombics: i've been using amd64 quite happily for the last month with no problems [10:42] ah :) [10:42] thom maybe. i had some wierd problems. now i want to chek out the 32Bit ver....

[10:46] sabdfl: oh I guess its not posible then ;) [10:46] why are you trying to do that? [10:46] sabdfl: no [10:46] :/ [10:46] why not burn the image? [10:46] mwh_: it should show up. then you can unmount it [10:46] some of those bootable cds have utils that can usually resize a partition without screwing things up [10:46] burner is broken :< === helmut [~helmut@h21n3c1o1029.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu [10:50] sabdfl: sorry I was wrong it apears on the desktop :o) [10:50] sabdfl: thanks, btw if I unmount it, is it then posible to remount it without unplugin and replugin the device? [10:54] mwh_: we had it in the Disks folder till gnome-vfs 2.8.1 and then it broke, alas, and we haven't time to find the bug [10:54] what is the prefered way to manage which modules get loaded during startup? I ask because some of them fail because the hardware is not available for them [10:54] sabdfl: ahh [10:54] mwh_: i think pmount /dev/xxx might do the trick [10:54] IMO unmounted disks should show as disabled [10:55] robertj: good idea [10:55] and HAL should be used to figure out if they are connected [10:55] sabdfl: also, my gpdf stoped working recently :( [10:55] robertj: could you write that one up on the wiki? [10:55] sab: sure [10:55] what would be a good icon label for that? [10:55] something that indicates its avialable for low-level write ops [10:55] sabdfl: I get a lot of bonobo warnings [10:56] sabdfl: I should probably write a bug-report about it ;) [10:56] mwh_: hotplug has to guess, and if they fail it's not a problem [10:56] mwh_: for hoary the boot process will look a lot nicer [10:56] mwh_: is this a clean ubuntu install? [10:56] sabdfl: actually though [10:57] ARGH! [10:57] why does there need to be a gui for unmounting? [10:57] I can never remember how to isntall stuff!

[11:02] It would be nice if removable media had a notify icon for when it was in use [11:02] and you just pulled it out otherwise [11:02] feature goal for hoary [11:02] robertj: yea, but unmount and mount is pretty good words for what is happening, eject is good when a real eject is hapening [11:02] axe9: check to see if the dir has execute permission [11:03] axe9: like 755 or something [11:03] how do I check that?
