[12:00] Does anyone know if there's documentation on how to set up a scanner on Ubuntu / Debian and where that's at? [12:01] All I can seem to find is nightmarrish command prompt stuff with files that have to be copied all over the place and arguments (arguments?) and who knows what. === dero1 [~deron@express-title.com] has joined #ubuntu [12:02] Anna: try applications->graphics->xsane image scanning program [12:02] Tried that, but it tells me that there is no device.. [12:02] maybe your scanner is not supported by linux [12:03] how would I know if it is or isn't? [12:03] what type of scanner do you have ? [12:03] Anna: command-line: sane-find-scanner [12:03] hp scanjet 3500c [12:03] ubuntu has many modules... search google for the one for your scanner [12:03] So Warty is due in October-- anybody know more specific than that, is it targeting the end of October or just "whenever it's done" or some other date? [12:04] i'll try the command line [12:04] theantix: the 20th i believe [12:04] modules, hmm. === schnick [~bill@CPE0030ab1af56c-CM00111adf5f4a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu [12:05] usb scanner? [12:05] yes, it's usb [12:05] hkcc2_, thanks [12:05] hi [12:05] can i ask if ubuntu is able to see and resize ntfs partitions? [12:06] I'll try the command line and brb [12:06] because i didn't managed to do that [12:06] has the Gnome Settings Daemon cause anyone any issues? i'm gattine error 'Failed to activate 'OAFID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon' [12:06] @drenkas - qtparted can resize ntfs partitions [12:07] it's in ubuntu? [12:07] i mean in the install cd [12:07] i dont think... but try apt-get or search google. its easy to install [12:07] the problem is to get place for linux [12:08] i didnt already install ubuntu... Im downloading [12:08] it's not a problem for me anymore but it was when i tryed [12:08] in Knoppix/Kanotix qtparted is included [12:08] these are live-cds [12:08] you can resize with knoppix? [12:08] that's good [12:09] yeah. i did it already [12:09] look for "qtparted" [12:09] i know qtparted [12:09] o.k. [12:09] If I try the command 'sane-find-scanner', can I just plug in my scanner prior or do I have to reboot? Because right now it's telling me 'bash: sane-find-scanner: command not found'. [12:10] but i don't know if it is on ubuntu [12:10] i think it's important for user-friendly distrib [12:10] sorry... i am burning ubuntu at the moment.. [12:11] anybody got an ubuntu/debian apt source for mplayer, divx and transcode ? === minghua [~minghua@danube.mems.rice.edu] has joined #ubuntu [12:12] @anna... plugin the scanner and type dmesg ... there should be something like usb.c, scanner.c, hub.c,... === dero1 [~deron@express-title.com] has left #ubuntu [] [12:13] longsleep_, see the FAQ...look for debian-marillat archives, work for me === vincent [~vincent@bonnefoy-3-82-224-105-22.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu [12:14] is a debian deb, compatible with ubuntu? (I'm thinking about universe) [12:14] k [12:14] yes, but if its in the ubuntu repository, you really should use that instead [12:14] ah! good to know, thx === dido [~ildido@217.199.17.139] has joined #ubuntu [12:16] It spat a whole lot of data at me know that doesn't mean anything to me.

[12:19] Anna: have a look at device manager (computer->system configuration) and see what usb devices linux has detected === ElRaton [~lerat@pasteur-6-82-229-198-144.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu === Agrajag [~Agrajag@wg03.ucr.edu] has joined #ubuntu [12:23] I see 'scanjet 3500c' under one of the USB, so the device has been properly detected. [12:24] Anna: well thats good news, you could try xsane again, other than that i have no more ideas [12:24] u could try "modprobe scanner" [12:24] But Xsane is still telling me that there is no device. [12:24] vasi: apt-get install kdepim ? [12:24] i hope ubuntu has the scanner module precompiled [12:25] but disconnect the scanner first [12:25] ! [12:25] modprobe scanner as a command at the command prompt? [12:25] LinuxJones, it depends on things not in apt... [12:26] vasi: ohhh [12:26] kinda silly for kdepim to be sitting in universal even though it's not installable, but there you go [12:26] thanks hkcc2, at least we know know that it's somehow 'there' in the system. === ejlozon [~ejlozon@c-24-126-193-110.we.client2.attbi.com] has joined #ubuntu [12:26] Anna: no problem, hope it gets sorted out soon [12:27] Well, I hope I learn fast enough so I pass this dreadful newbie phase [12:27] quick [12:28] don't worry people usually learn linux fast === tuppa [~tuppa@christie.corvu.com.au] has joined #ubuntu [12:30] yes.. try the command at the console === Wsquared [~wweckesse@67-138-146-101.dsl1.nor.ny.frontiernet.net] has joined #ubuntu === Wsquared is now known as WW [12:32] Anna, It takes at least about a month before you start feeling comfortable with basic Linux stuff. === eddyp [~eddy@82.77.146.163] has joined #ubuntu [12:32] re [12:33] how can I find out how many packages are available in ubuntu/debian [12:33] the number? [12:33] Anna: according to the sane project's website your scanner is unsupported [12:34] http://www.sane-project.org/unsupported/hp-scanjet-3500c.html [12:34] Deft: yes [12:34] eddyp: approx 2000 supported, approx 10000 unsupported [12:34] eddyp: apt-cache stats [12:34] mdz: pong === netjoined: irc.freenode.net -> sendak.freenode.net === [Clint] [~c123p456@user-12hdtek.cable.mindspring.com] has joined #ubuntu [12:35] Anna: I just got here... what kind of scanner? [12:36] alextreme: how is the live CD going? you sounded nearly ready to upload === mdz chomps at the bit [12:36] I have to scroll back abit...."I had a situation here" [12:36] ;-) [12:38] mdz: yeah, i was nearly ready to upload. ran into more problems again, but trying round it up [12:39] dieman: yep === linux_mafia_ [~max@202-0-44-78.adsl.paradise.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu [12:39] ok@hkcc2, but does that mean the scanning is only possible through xsane, therefore it is impossible at all to get the scanner working? [12:40] Hi [12:40] WW === Slackeerb [~Slackeerb@CPE-69-76-100-96.wi.rr.com] has joined #Ubuntu === Slackeerb [~Slackeerb@CPE-69-76-100-96.wi.rr.com] has joined #Ubuntu [12:40] It's a scanjet 3500c from HP, but hkcc2 has found out that xsane isn't supporting it... [12:40] Anna: i don't know of any other programs other than sane, so without sane support there's not much else you can do [12:41] I see [12:41] don't worry my scanner isn't working either [12:41] for Linux, Scanner stuff is either SANE or get another one. [12:41] mine doesn't work eithe.r [12:41] Does anyone know how to get a logitech quick cam working on linux [12:41] Althogh I haven't checked in a while. [12:41] Slackeerb: sure [12:42] have you tried the qce module in the kernel? [12:42] Slackeerb: what kernel version, for a start? [12:42] jordi: How do i check that. i know I type somethign in the terminal [12:42] Luckily scanners aren't that expensive. I'll keep the scanner for the winDOS box [12:42] I'm a novice jordi... [12:43] so expert things aren't optional for me, that's what I was trying to say. [12:43] Anna: it's strange that an HP scanner doesn't work though. [12:44] Slackeerb: wait a sec [12:44] Yes, especially since the system detected it... [12:44] the device manager listed it under usb correctly, even the name. === chapeaurouge [~chapeauro@cs2416285-243.jam.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu [12:44] Anna: I took a look here: http://www.hamrick.com/, but apparently he doesn't support the HP 3500c either. [12:45] hey... interested in metacity transparency? got this from the slackware world... quite cool [12:45] http://www.dropline.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3361 [12:45] Slackeerb: is it a colour qc? [12:45] Slackeerb: is it a qc, or a qc express? [12:45] jordi: yes [12:45] jordi: i think express === dido [~ildido@217.199.17.139] has left #ubuntu ["ciao] [12:47] ok [12:47] WW, that is indeed weird that they skipped my scanner while supporting other HP's === DaNewB [~DaNewB@modemcable075.26-200-24.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu [12:47] Slackeerb: does "modprobe c-qcam" as root show anything interesting in dmesg? [12:48] anyone for a tomboy pkg (http://beatniksoftware.com/tomboy/) ? [12:48] But given all the noise HP is making regarding GNU/Linux, they ought to deliver drivers... [12:48] jordi: says blah blah blah not found [12:49] Slackeerb: hmm, probably out of luck without recompiling stuff I guess [12:49] there was a working driver for Linux 2.4 at least [12:49] jordi:shouldnt it detect it automaticly? [12:50] jordi: and do you know any good p2p software im useing limewire currently but it keeps asking me to upgrade to pro. === hkcc2__ [~hkcc2@213.78.90.96] has joined #ubuntu [12:50] Slackeerb: hey that's quite a topic change. :) [12:50] While I'm here . Is there a special magic I need to know about RW-CD? Can I rewrite CD's in nautilus and I've just been too daft to figure it out? === ejlozon [~ejlozon@c-24-126-193-110.we.client2.attbi.com] has joined #ubuntu [12:50] I use an emule clone, "amule" [12:51] jordi: the emule networks seemed real slow when I used it. === almostlucky [~almostluc@c-24-126-193-110.we.client2.attbi.com] has joined #ubuntu [12:51] Anna: I have no cd-rw's here, but I thought nautilus would allow you to clean them before burning [12:51] isn't there an option? [12:51] Slackeerb: do you have a permanent link to the internet? [12:51] Anna: just drag the files from the disc 2 the trash? [12:51] jordi: yes === DaNewB [~DaNewB@modemcable075.26-200-24.mc.videotron.ca] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [12:52] Anna: if its a cd rw. =) [12:52] Yes;-) [12:52] lol [12:52] jordi: the problem with cdrw is the automount ... CD get mounted so device is busy when you want to clean it [12:52] Slackeerb: emule's protocol is based on credits. You download more if you share more, and if you keep it going for a while. [12:53] afaik. [12:53] seb128: ah, bad. [12:53] should be fixed soon === jsubl2 [~jsubl2@209.144.23.40] has joined #ubuntu [12:53] jordi: ahh i see well thx off to wtach tss [12:53] peace everyone!

[12:54] seb128: cool [12:55] I dragged the files from RW-CD into the trash and then got the nono [12:55] seb128: besides the gtk bug, is there anything outstanding that we don't have in sarge at this point? [12:55] hmm, this should be in #g-d probably [12:55] yeah [12:57] jordi: you can try these packages it's working fine for me. http://people.no-name-yet.com/~pitti/utopia/ [12:57] Anna: try opening a nautilus window (e.g. computer->disks) and then choosing go->cd creator [12:59] vincent: I'm not on Ubuntu in this system rightn ow [12:59] although I should.. [12:59] *yawn* [12:59] long day at work === PerdiX [~perdix@134.102.101.166] has left #ubuntu ["closing] [01:00] but when I'm in the cd creator, it is empty as the files are on cd...? [01:00] jordi: oups excuse me [01:01] I also noticed under properties that the CD drive seems to be a 'root' controlled device and 'write' isn't ticked off, so perhaps I have to sign in as root and allow write under the properties of that device? [01:02] Anna: are you going to be replacing the contents of the cd-rw with something new? [01:02] no, not really. I was planning the delete the files on CD [01:03] to delete.. [01:03] you mean blank it? [01:03] yes [01:04] but dragging the files to the trash won't work [01:04] (actually it copies copies to the trash, but the files on CD remain...) === chapeaurouge is away: nap.. [01:04] i don't think it can be done via the cd creator. one can use the command-line cdrecord tho.. :-) === vasi [~vasi@modemcable252.147-70-69.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu [01:05] ouch [01:05] well its not that difficult [01:05] But shouldn't I try to change the properties for the CD drive under 'root'? [01:06] no i don't think that's part of the problem [01:06] is the cd mounted right now? it should be if you double-click the cdrom icon [01:06] ok. So which command would I use for the cp? [01:07] double-click the cdrom icon to make sure its mounted [01:07] yes it's mounted [01:08] then open a command line and type mount [01:08] ok.. [01:08] do you see a line which has cdrom in it? === eddyp [~eddy@82.77.146.163] has left #ubuntu [] [01:09] lulu@lulu ~ $ mount [01:09] /dev/hda1 on / type unknown (rw,errors=remount-ro) [01:09] proc on /proc type proc (rw) [01:09] sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) [01:09] devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) [01:09] tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) [01:09] usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) [01:09] /dev/hdc on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=lulu) [01:09] lulu@lulu ~ $ [01:09] ok your cdrom is /dev/hdc in command line land [01:09] sorry, I didn't intend to paste the whole shabang [01:09] hey there [01:09] Anna: type sudo umount /dev/hdc [01:10] and enter your password [01:10] ok [01:10] is x cd roast available at universe?

[01:12] is it like formatting the cd now? [01:12] hmm [01:12] whats the name of it? [01:12] Anna: its basically overwriting a part of the cd that contains the index of the files [01:13] Se7h, xcdtoast [01:13] Se7h, err xcdroast [01:13] I see. But are you telling me that there is no way to delete individual files from a CD RW? [01:13] cant find it :| [01:14] Se7h, sorry maybe it is in restricted oops [01:14] Anna: in general, no. it can be done tho if it was written with packet-writing software, which is not that common [01:14] perhaps it can be done with multisession cds as well [01:15] but that would mean that RW-CD's under Linux are meaningless in a way. [01:15] yeah, they don'e function the same as hard disks [01:16] cdrws are mainly for trying out linux distros ;-) [01:16] xcdroast_0.98+0alpha15-0.backports.org.1_i386.deb [01:16] lol [01:16] this should do it [01:18] I'll copy the commands...

[01:44] jdub, heh, I am going to email you tomorrow a very cool project I have in mind, to see what you think. [01:45] jdub: ok, i will watch on this branch [01:45] Anna: I think they actually care about making a kickass distribution, and will go with support to try and make ends meet; but it's not why the company exists. [01:45] (Not that I work for them, just know the motivation of a few individuals.) [01:45] jdub: you are a direct maintainer of ubuntu? [01:45] Anna: it's not just a business desktop :-) [01:46] Anna: so, we're going to be concentrating on professional services and partnering with local support companies. [01:46] knackko: yeah [01:46] I see === mlh [~mlh@dsl-182.225.240.220.dsl.comindico.com.au] has joined #ubuntu [01:47] Well, I was one of your first fans. === splinta_ [~andy@dialin-168-78.tor.primus.ca] has left #ubuntu [] [01:48] Im having trouble ( albeit in fedora its compiling just fine with no errors argh) compiling a library I need badly here in ubuntu for a game project....i'm not getting any missing header errors so I dont know how to diagnose...anyone here could lend a quick hand possibly in PM ?? [01:48] neighborlee: No, don't have time for that. If you paste the exact error, someone may offer advice. [01:49] well its multli-line [01:49] but okay here goes [01:49] jdub: one more congrulat : ubuntu is a great idea for those who love gnome and debian, i enjoy it! [01:49] .libs/mdll.o(.text+0x0): In function `main': [01:49] /usr/local/games/nwn/nwmouse/libnw/libnw/mdll.c:1: multiple definition of `main' [01:49] .libs/setl.o(.text+0x0):/usr/local/games/nwn/nwmouse/libnw/libnw/setl.c:1: first defined here [01:49] knackko: cool, thanks :) [01:50] thats it..no missing header error or anything === mlmartin [~mlmartin@cpc3-belc2-5-0-cust92.blfs.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu [01:53] which program do u use for watching TV? [01:53] xawtv. [01:53] neighborlee: main is the function that a C program starts from. [01:53] Basically the reason I was attracted to Ubuntu was because of the installer. I know too little about computing in general to be in a position of making a quality judgment about the different distros. Being German, there was of course a tendency towards Suse/KDE, but I also had purity issues with Qt. [01:53] jdub: blogged, pics are probably too big though [01:54] neighborlee: You are compiling two pieces of code that both contain competing main() functions. The linker doesn't know which one to use. [01:54] Kosai, hmmm [01:54] Kosai, question is why is it spewing this here in debian and not in fedora === thaytan [jan@25.30.233.220.exetel.com.au] has joined #ubuntu [01:54] But I should shut up again, I tend to interrupt the flow with my babble.

[01:55] and we're damn glad your here [01:55] enough guys already!! === nojo [~saywhat@pool-138-89-169-178.mad.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu === hazmat just came back from a conference (plone) 90/1 guy:girl ratio [01:56] heh [01:57] when install ubuntu is there someway to set up PPP over ethernet for adsl to do the intial install? [01:57] nojo there is some discussion in the mailing list archives bout it... [01:58] oh ok [01:58] nojo: I doubt you'd find any distro that supports PPPoE for an install. Use the CD, and then update once the install's finished. [01:58] anna: purity issues for kde? [01:58] Anna: albeit I think I know where your going with that [01:58] ok Kosai [01:58] thanks [01:58] Anna: german huh..my ancestry resembles that remark ;-00 [01:59] but your grandmother is from Chicago? [02:00] Ok, that is a lame joke I admit [02:02] With purity I actually meant the confusing situation regarding trolltech. I feel guilty using KDE knowing I'll be supporting a (Qt) license that isn't very "pure". Or did I completely misunderstand that situation? [02:02] so far pretty painless install [02:03] Anna: Qt is dual-licensed QPL/GPL [02:03] Anna: totally misunderstood [02:03] Anna: Qt is 100% Free Software [02:03] both licences are free [02:03] jdub: shhh, spread the gtk lovin' [02:03] the only historical issue is that once upon a time Qt was QPL-only and KDE was (still is) GPL, and the two licences are incompatible [02:03] Anna: you're more likely to have purity issues with C++ or something like that. [02:03] but Qt going QPL/GPL made that issue irrelevant [02:04] ioslipstream: no way dude, full disclosure rocks. [02:04] heh [02:04] OK, I'll have to research this a bit more thorough [02:04] i thought the windows vesion of qT cost $$ [02:08] In any case, I lie Gnome better anyway. BTW, my screenshot is at http://zazam.com/stuff/screenshot.png [02:09] Anna: Nice; looks passingly like an old screenshot of mine -- http://printf.net/shot-cjb.jpg [02:09] Anna, what is the "blue dot" applet in the upper right of your screenshot? [02:09] yeah the exploding galaxies stuff [02:10] theantix: firestarter [02:10] the dot is my firewall firestarter, which depends on an open root terminal I've shifted to the second work space during the day [02:10] ioslipstream, thanks [02:12] my favorite desktop i've had... i'll be a happy camper when xorg is in ubuntu: http://members.arstechnica.com/x/ioslipstream/milkshot.jpg [02:12] (I haven't figured out yet how to configure programs that demand root privs, so I discovered that firestarter runs from the root terminal) [02:12] Oh wow, yes that is a beautiful desktop.

[02:13] composite still isnt stable on any video card, and isnt workable at all with ati's drivers [02:13] that's real pretty ioslipstream [02:13] somebody told me to change my runlevel to 3 but that didn't work [02:13] nathan_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [02:14] zenwhen: xcompmgr-cvs was pretty stable for me on an nvidia fx5700 [02:14] whiprush: thanks [02:14] nathan_, the nvidia drivers are available for through apt if you want pre-compiled binaries. [02:14] nathan_: ctrl-alt-backspace [02:14] thanks [02:14] :) [02:14] LinuxJones, official drivers or "nv" package? [02:15] i was able to keep the eye candy up most of the time, except for when playing ut [02:15] nathan_, official [02:15] coool [02:15] you don't happen to know the package name, do you?

[02:18] my real problem is that i can't select a refresh rate above 60Hz at my preferred resolution. could the video drivers be the culprit? [02:19] nathan_, I had some problems with the nv driver as well works fine now [02:19] nathan_: you can override the default modelines if you monitor fails to communicate with the video card [02:20] m_tthew: we don't have Ubuntu netinst images, not in the Debian sense anyway [02:20] m_tthew: you might mean http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/dists/warty/main/installer-i386/ [02:21] Kamion : thanks, that is exactly what I meant.

[02:33] just type "modprobe nvidia" at the shell? [02:33] i've heard that i should definitely go with ubuntu even if i'm happy with debian [02:33] nojo: no [02:33] nathan_, yes [02:33] so i'm going to give it a shot [02:33] eg Win + D for desktop etc [02:33] jdub ok [02:33] and that's it? [02:33] heh, i'm paranoid now :) [02:33] nathan_, then type gdm [02:33] nojo: though, it will turn up very quickly in the devel branch once it opens. [02:33] are you guys needing volunteer perl developers work? helping debian is too bureaucratic hehe [02:33] when i press it i get Super_L but cant add anything else to it [02:33] jdub: ahh ok very nice [02:34] LinuxJones, alright, i'll try that. thanks :) [02:34] well this is great i mpretty happy with this..this is pretty much how i would setup my debian system anyway === liz [~liz@ADSL-063.cust203-87-27.nsw.chariot.net.au] has joined #ubuntu [02:34] nathan_, give it a go [02:35] drag, if you are really happy with debian, why change? === baietas [~baietas@CPE00095b6cf17d-CM000f9f7d5d12.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu [02:36] for the more up-to-date packages [02:37] why dont u just track unstable === krischan [~krischan@p5090BF02.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu === nathan_ [~nathan@24.236.140.79.bay.mi.chartermi.net] has joined #ubuntu [02:37] well, i've asked people the same questions and they said to still go with ubuntu (these were long time deb users) [02:37] so i'll give it a shot and see what it's all about heh [02:37] odd, when i change the default theme for ubuntu, it doesn't actually change the color scheme.. is it some sort of metacity hardcode? === joem [~joem@c-67-173-77-82.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [02:38] ok, LinuxJones, that worked, but now i still can't select a refresh above 60Hz. is there some file i have to manually edit? [02:38] is there a quick way to install MS true type fonts in ubuntu? [02:38] nathan_, type sudo nano /etc/X11/XF86Config [02:38] my file is XF86COnfig-4 [02:39] mstt fonts should be on apt [02:39] look for msttcorefonts [02:39] but i did what you said :) [02:39] nathan_, ya config-4 sorry [02:39] k, done [02:40] nathan_, ok scroll down to the screen section [02:40] k, there [02:40] :( [02:40] nathan_, opps back up to monitor [02:40] k, there :) [02:41] nathan_, wher eit says 60 change to a range that your monitor can support [02:41] VertRefresh 50-85 [02:41] drag: This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source [02:41] actually, guys, the 'right' way to fix that is to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 [02:41] my monitor can do 1600x1200/75, but it'll only let me do above 60 at 1152x864 and lower [02:41] apt-get update, apt-cache search mstt [02:42] if you've edited XF86Config-4 by hand already, follow the instructions in the top of it to make dpkg-reconfigure work again. [02:42] debian's got it, so i'd think ubuntu would have the package available as well [02:42] m_tthew, I had to change the value manually it would not take using dpkg-reconfig [02:42] LinuxJones: ah, sorry. why wouldn't dpkg-reconfig take it? [02:42] how do i start smb support so i can share files on a LAN? [02:42] m_tthew, I do not know :( [02:42] i changed it from 50-80 to 50-120 [02:43] i'll see if that works [02:43] bbias [02:43] drag: apt-cache search mstt openoffice.org - high-quality office productivity suite [02:43] LinuxJones: If you edited the config by hand before using dpkg-reconfig, it won't write a new config file for you. [02:43] does that mean oo includes the fonts? [02:43] i wouldn't install oo just for the fonts [02:43] m_tthew, ahh that's what it was thanks [02:44] drag: its installed by ubuntu automatically [02:44] LinuxJones: np, I only know that because I was bitten myself by it in the past. (I somehow overlooked the warning at the top of XF86Config-4 :) [02:44] oh :o still using deb sorry [02:44] m_tthew, I don't read half the stuff I see I seem to have tunnel vision :D [02:44] baietas, just go to http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ [02:45] thank you [02:48] hmmm... how do i find how much ram i have on my nvidia card again? i'm too lazy to open the box [02:49] moyogo, what model card to you have ? [02:50] the device manager might have it [02:50] LinuxJones: er... i don't remember, but HAL says it's a PCI NV15 (GeForce2 GTS/Pro) [02:52] ah... well... i guess i'll have to open my box at one point [02:52] moyogo, sorry :D [02:52] LinuxJones: thanks anyway [02:52] moyogo, sure === mherweg [~mherweg@ool-18bcfb6f.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu === odyssey [~sekhment@odyssey.user] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [02:59] is the kernel source available as a package install?

[03:41] i don't think you can use root in ubuntu [03:41] use sudo [03:41] jdub: I reinstalled. [03:41] drag: no root?? [03:42] (thats what i gathered from what i read about ubuntu) [03:42] ..read the faq about root passwd [03:42] jdub: your printer stuff isn't what it should be.... [03:42] use sudo [03:42] jg_: oh? :-) === lonewolff is off to read the faq [03:42] jdub: it should be listening for IPP advertizements from cups servers.... [03:42] oh right [03:42] there is no root login perse, if hard pressed you can get a root shell, but you shouldnt need it [03:42] so, we have a no listening policy by default [03:42] lonewolff: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/ [03:42] makes a big difference in usability. [03:42] daniels: i can paste you some syslog info if you want. [03:42] we'd need a clikcy-clicky thing to turn that on [03:42] why not listen? [03:42] tberman: if you could email it (daniel.stone@canonical.com), that'd be neat [03:43] daniels: wiil do [03:43] also, i think in future, we'd be doing all of that via dns-sd anyway [03:43] jg_: i believe that is on the radar, yah [03:43] i am just used to doing su - before i need to use root ocmmands will just have to get used to using sudo [03:43] jg_: nothing (except portmap, which is locked down, and will not be there for our next release) listens on the network [03:43] jdub: it works today, works well, and is part of IPP. [03:44] hmmm [03:44] jg_: unfortunately, gnome-cups-manager doesn't have a widget to turn it on [03:44] no snap-to-grid in nautilus? [03:44] trae: 'keep aligned' [03:44] jdub: that sucks.

I see [03:45] actually, that's kinda smart [03:45] heh [03:45] just didn't know what I was seeing [03:45] jg_: combination of policy and a missing feature. :-) [03:46] hmm [03:46] heh, maybe not === lonewolff [~andy@lonewolff.user] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [03:46] jdub: major missing feature, in my book :-( [03:46] jg_: can you turn it on in the cups web thingy? [03:47] jdub: I've never seen how... [03:47] I've had to go figure out what to put in cupsd.conf. [03:47] which sucks. [03:47] mmm [03:47] perhaps we can put a comment in our cupsd.conf [03:47] and look at adding that setting to g-c-m in future [03:47] jg_: printer stuff in gnome is really not with the times, still :) [03:48] hmm [03:48] automagic printer discovery is a *big* deal to end users... [03:48] I can't seem to hack in my "F1 launches gnome-terminal" in gnome-edit anymore. [03:48] jdub: yes, unfortunately. [03:48] I used to be able to get metacity to do F1 to launch a term. [03:48] jdub: we keep trying to get IPG to wake up, but so far, no luck. [03:48] (and have done that for eons in metacity, sawfish, windowmaker, E, whatever [03:49] jg_: actually, i think the next release will have per-user cupsd, which will let us do that [03:49] jdub: is that for the case of no local printers? [03:49] jdub: heh, thanks for the mention [03:50] jamesh: should work with local printers too === glens [~None@203-217-36-125.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu [03:50] while there is cups/gnome-print-* talk, what is the 'right' way to enable sharing my local printer over the network? I am cups - retarded. [03:50] dude I found a local mac guy who will give the lisa a good home ... [03:50] jdub: so you give the user direct access to the parallel port or USB device? [03:50] jamesh: ask the red hat dudes (J5 i think) [03:51] of course, the nicest way to handle it is to assume your printer has a network card :) === madduck [~madduck@80-219-173-32.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #ubuntu [03:53] remember gang, ubuntu is utnubu spelled backwards. [03:54] jdub: dude you totally forgot the case for rounded panel corners. [03:54] oh good point [03:54] i am a bad person [03:54] then we can have the MacOS 5 theme [03:55] the MacOS 5 theme [03:55] lol [03:56] jdub: so I turn on browsing and now my gnome-print-manager hangs when I try to mess with it.... [03:57] jdub: heh, if you see the animation for opening windows .. it's like the current metacity animation ... distrubingly so. === jsubl2 [~jsubl2@209.144.23.40] has joined #ubuntu [03:57] daniels: sent. [03:57] jg_: heh, ouch :| [03:57] does enabling cups browsing by default even really constitute listening? [03:58] tberman: rad, thanks [03:58] anyone want to write my paper for me [03:58] phlaegel: yeah, it got so far as to show what printers I have here.... [03:58] any chance the transparent metacity patch gets included in ubuntu ? [03:58] jg_: same here. my point is that I don't think it violates the no-listening policy [03:59] chapeaurouge: we don't ship Xorg or composite [03:59] chapeaurouge: so, no point [03:59] jg_: what's the cupsd.conf snippet? [03:59] jdub: Browsing On [04:00] phlaegel: it does mean that cupsd is listening for incoming broadcast packets. [04:00] tberman: around? [04:00] jdub: correct... do you have a link why you dont ship xorg? [04:00] jg_: yeah, but in the same way that samba shares work. [04:00] chapeaurouge: because we didn't have time to handle it on top of everything else. next release. [04:01] jdub: way cool :) thx [04:01] chapeaurouge: search teh Debian X lists. [04:01] whiprush: they don't have much to do with why we didn't ship xorg. :) [04:02] guys like daniles don't see a benefit in packaging the monolithic stuff. [04:02] JD: I think one should also default to BrowseAddress @LOCAL [04:02] jdub: dude I asked the guy. :p [04:02] whiprush: still doesn't have much to do with why we didn't ship it. :-) [04:02] yes, I read the stuff. [04:03] I think even morons like me would have done the same thing. [04:03] whiprush: yeah === lonewolff [~andy@lonewolff.user] has joined #ubuntu [04:03] jdub: the print manager won't even let me set the default printer without hanging. Not good. [04:04] plus, it's not like shipping Xorg _today_ matters. Maybe when upstream ships support for it, it will rule. [04:04] sorry to be a pain but is there a gui i can use in ubuntu to configure my network interfaces [04:04] dude [04:04] todd [04:04] say it isn't so. [04:04] jg_: so with browsing on / browseaddress @LOCAL, it's listening for udp broadcasts [04:04] "Todd Berman of the Mono project helped us out when we started up, and served as our sort of CTO," said Daniel Lang, a Seven L representative. "Todd pushed us to use Gentoo; he was really excited about its customizability and flexibility." [04:04] tberman: tell me you're off the gentoo kick. [04:04] whiprush: im on ubuntu now [04:04] jdub: I think so, IIRC when I configured my debian box. [04:04] lonewolff: computer > system configuration > networking [04:05] whiprush: clee made me install it [04:05] tberman: thank god. [04:05] whiprush: dude [04:05] whiprush: do me a favour [04:05] dude/ [04:05] whiprush: link my blog on just "Todd" [04:05] heh. favour. [04:05] im trying to google-push my "Todd" stats [04:05] oops [04:05] jg_: hrm, print manager is working ok here, but i only have one printer on the network ;) [04:05] which link? === lonewolff didint notice the computer menu [04:05] whiprush: i thought that was an ars article [04:05] oh oh [04:05] crap [04:05] that's hard [04:05] give me a day or two on that [04:05] whiprush: dude === clee notes that searching for 'Chris Lee' on Google produces pretty good results for him. [04:06] jdub: the BrowseAddress @LOCAL lis also important; you don't a cups server you run to trigger dialouts. [04:06] whiprush: hook a brother up [04:06] and 'clee' as well. [04:06] Todd Berman gets my blog [04:06] it's pretty neat. [04:06] but Todd gets fuckall about me [04:06] dude, I just work for them ... this is no joke, the whole site is done by hand. [04:06] because everyone links me as Todd Berman [04:06] whiprush: haha :) [04:06] it's hard. but i'll work it [04:06] tberman, hmm..spawn is a tough one to beat [04:06] whiprush: well, if you can, that would own :) [04:06] yes yes [04:06] joem: yeah [04:06] guys, off-topic stuff elsewhere please :-) [04:06] hey whiprush, is that lisa pic running ubuntu real? [04:06] =p [04:06] ioslipstream: no [04:07] rol, i know [04:07] i saw your little disclaimer === whiprush takes offtopic elsewhere. [04:07] jg_: hrm, i wonder if my printer even broadcasts. === Mais [~mais@dpc6935216241.direcpc.com] has joined #ubuntu [04:08] ok, gnome-cups-manager really doesn't work very well, does it? [04:08] not really [04:08] a printer shared on another machine show up, but I can't do anything with it. [04:08] jdub: I think the right thing is to have local printers *not* be advertized by default, and the local cups server "see" all broadcasts. [04:08] oh dude [04:08] the new print page is sweet [04:08] phlaegel: in my experience it's been pretty broken [04:08] jdub: you don't want N cups servers advertizing the same printer. [04:08] the cups stuff in fedora works pretty nice [04:08] jg_: mmm [04:08] and kde [04:09] too bad I don't particularly like fedora or kde. :-) [04:10] has gnome gotten faster? last time i tried it was about 5-6 months ago and it was really really slow [04:10] drag: depends on how much ram you have. [04:10] jdub: after maybe a 3 minute timeout, the manager finally pops up a window on the printer I wanted to examine the properties of.... [04:10] does anyone know why my wireless card wouldnt show up in the network config app? [04:11] i dont know this gnome 2.8 feels more responsive to me too [04:11] lonewolff, is it supported? [04:11] Hey- is there any updates on a nvidia driver for x86-64? [04:11] joem: it worked fine under linux before using the atmel_cs driver [04:11] I'm use Synaptic to get a package called bluefish. It started downloading, but now a window has popped up that says: [04:11] Please insert the disk labeled: [04:11] Ubuntu 4.10 _Warty Warthog_ - Unofficial i386 Binary-1 (20040915) [04:11] in drive /cdrom/ [04:12] lonewolff, do you have the drivers for it loaded, and is the card working otherwise? [04:12] and i have set up wireless.opts the same way but the card does not show up as hardware in the network config app [04:12] yes the module atmel_cs is loaded and the loght is on on the card so its getting power and the card is not broken in any way [04:12] WW: insert your install disk, or you can remove that line from your sources if you don't want it [04:13] jdub: well, I have to go to bed.... [04:13] jdub: Ah, I forgot that line is still there. I've never gotten this window before. [04:15] i got a gig of ram.. [04:15] but even with that it used to be slow === lonewolff finds that ubuntu is one of fastest distos he's used [04:16] ok time to try this thing out :> [04:16] if only i coudl get this wireless to work [04:16] lonewolff wuts the prob [04:16] the hardware is not showing up when i go to add a new wireless network connection === chutwig [~edmundrhu@nat01-easton-ext.Rutgers.EDU] has joined #ubuntu === Mais wonders if fabbione happens to be around [04:23] does glxinfo always say indirect when you've got the ati drivers installed?

[04:24] daniels: hrm [04:24] I feel like I need to go back to gentoo/slackware/fedora just so i can make things work right :) [04:24] jdub: are you sure you're using the fglrx driver, and not still using ati?

[04:26] yeah [04:26] we're concentrating on that atm [04:26] thats like mid/late October right 8) [04:26] i assume after the final we wont see so many updates in warty main as we do now? [04:26] cybrjackle|lappy: yes [04:26] cool [04:26] seeing as ubuntu seems to do everything but send the girls to your door... can we expect the Hoary release to fill that gap, or should I file a bug report? [04:27] joebeastie: none, apart from security fixes, dataloss and high-impact bugs [04:27] btw, your pre-release seems like a final 8) [04:27] ioslipstream: you're not using it right. [04:27] Hello?

I'll try that... is it a matter of simply installing an image, or will I need to rebuild? [04:29] jdub, are you going to move to gamin instead of fam in the final or in horay? [04:29] jdub: maybe we should create kernel-image packages that do nothing but Depend on the linux-image package... :-) [04:29] it's a binary kernel package, just install it [04:29] lamont: heh [04:29] cybrjackle|lappy: in hoary [04:29] is it normal to get 30-60 updates on a daily basis?

[04:56] daniels: then the same unable to acquire agp error [04:57] jdub: so much bong [04:57] http://www.debian.org/ports/sparc/porting [04:57] lookie there [04:57] man, I must have missed "kernel cousin ubuntu".

[04:58] so I can just pick a package, pay money, and have someone package it. [04:59] hum [04:59] whiprush, that sounds like a hell of an idea [04:59] um, no it doesn't [04:59] ;) [04:59] heh [04:59] daniels: hmm [04:59] daniels: my birthday is oct 21 [05:00] with 13K + packages, is there something missing?

Really confused, honestly. [05:03] vasi: yeah i read something like that on gnomeplanet today [05:03] jdub: try disabling AGP 8x in the BIOS [05:03] I just started using Ubuntu today, but i cant get web pages to load [05:03] tseng: no worries [05:03] thanks tseng, i'll take a look [05:04] I can ping GOOGLE but cant load the page [05:04] help!!!

[05:04] im not sure i never have to mess with this stuff cus i mostly use windows [05:04] im trying to get into the linux stuff [05:05] Okay, well, I'm coming from a gentoo world, but can you look inside your /etc/ folder and see if you have file called resolv.conf?

Neither one seems to help. [05:06] Can you open it in gedit, Jasona90? [05:06] Tell me if there's anything in there? [05:06] oh k, thought u said noacpi [05:06] does anyone know if the Philips WebCam Driver works with debian? [05:06] update-libc.d [05:07] is the only thibng [05:07] thing [05:07] * [05:07] I probably did, punkass_. Typo. My bad.

The weblogic class i was in 2 weeks ago same thing, linux/solaris/hp-ux, class = windows === cybrjackle|lappy ends rant and goes to bed [05:29] Okay, stupid question. I've managed to make it through the install, and get the thing booting, but it died halfway through the user setup. What options do you guys recommend I put on my kernel bootline to make 100% sure apic is gone? (pci=noapic, apic=off, etc) [05:32] Okay, it's noacpi, acpi=off, etc for grub. ....That's...really confusing. [05:33] i have: pci=noacpi nolapic [05:33] two different things [05:33] that you are mixing up. [05:34] tseng: Guess it's dyslexia. I finally know what it's like to be president. === tseng sighs [05:34] Slightly different question then. It died half way through the firstboot series of questions.

[05:36] heh. [05:37] i have a source package up [05:37] got the patch from latexer. [05:37] if you package 1.1.1, he says there's a patch that will make 0.5.1 work with 1.1.1 [05:37] tseng: you do the ubuntu mono stuff right? [05:37] yes i do that. [05:37] hornbeck: why else would I bitch at him about outdated packages? :) [05:37] clee: yes, I know [05:37] tseng: well, ok then :) [05:37] clee: I have not been reading :) === xf [~xf@203.63.163.166] has joined #ubuntu [05:38] how about a dbus-sharp?

[05:43] jdub: when you come, you get to see my snoop doll [05:44] xf: that's the ISO I used, for some reason Warty failed the same way when I tried to install it from CD [05:44] eldados: no, but it's not hard to boot up a knoppix cd et al if needed [05:44] ah, fair enough [05:44] i mean, it installed fine, grub just doesn't want to play ball === ultrafunk had that problem [05:45] ultrafunk what's the diff with this iso to the one from sep 15?

[05:45] thanks dude. [05:45] tseng: the middle piece of the patch is unneeded, but wont hurt.

The motherboard swore it didn't exist, GRUB swore it was the slave, even though it was the only drive on the cable. I jumpered it to be the master, and (ugh) reinstalled, and everything was great. I probably could should have... [06:20] ...just tweaked the fstab and reinstalled grub, but the install is painless. [06:21] heh, CS certainly gives headaches [06:21] xf: So your slave drive install could be a culprit. [06:23] I've also had issues in the past swapping back and forth from Windows to Linux installs.

[06:26] this is wierd [06:26] X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) [06:27] like i said, i feel stupid doing a reinstall to solve a linux problem [06:27] Major opcode of failed request: 141 (XVideo) [06:27] it's like when a client reboots a linux server because 'it's not working' [06:27] and it always turns out to be a client windows issue [06:27] anyone spead DVD? [06:27] I've had two painless ubuntu installs so far, and I'm sold. I've always been a Debian fan, though. [06:27] speak [06:27] defendguin: Sorry, not here. [06:27] i've been saying for years i want a debian with 6 month release cycles === poin_t [~point@203.130.197.226] has joined #ubuntu [06:28] as soon as ubuntu's stable enough for server use, i'll definitely be deploying it [06:28] defendguin: Though, it almost sounds like an out of memory issue. Just for kicks, did you try to fire up the DVD player with sudo? [06:28] kudos to the ubuntu team if they manage to keep their promise of 6 month cycles, supported for 18 months [06:28] that's a hell of a lot of work [06:28] hmmmm [06:28] good suggestion [06:28] xf: I'm thinking of setting up a netatalk server for a friend using Ubuntu, just to see how it goes. === Niterider [~konversat@HSE-Toronto-ppp92066.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu [06:29] i'm curious how the company supporting ubuntu actually makes a living, considering all is oss and free [06:29] defendguin: It might also be worth a 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade' [06:29] given some smart business planning, i guess they could act as a consultancy for linux deployments, particulary for goverments; certainly needed [06:29] Is it really a company doing the support? I thought it was a community effort. === chapeaurouge is away: just away for a moment... [06:29] xf: the same way any open source company makes money: selling support [06:30] fragment, i am fully updated === fragment works in education, and thinks Ubuntu could have some success there as well. [06:30] subterrific: sure, but many open source companies that give everything they have away for free barely make enough to support theirselves [06:30] which is dissapointing; i love oss business models, but go figure [06:30] fragment, you think this might have something to do with the amount of memory on my video card? [06:30] Also, almost worthy of going toe to toe with Lindows in the Grandma-Enabled Linux department :) [06:30] take redhat and the whole fedora/rhel move [06:31] defendguin: Maybe. [06:31] quick question, when dual booting, how do i access my windows partition with ubuntu, i'm used to other deb based distros and kde, where my partition was on the desktop, i couldn't seem to find out how to jump to my windass partition in ubuntu, can it be done in gnome and ubuntu? [06:31] xf: you don't think redhat is doing well? [06:31] subterrific: sure, they're doing brilliantly now [06:31] but to move to such a model would have raised questions about its profitability before [06:32] Niterider: You'll want to see if you have the NTFS filesystem module installed (I'm on a Windows laptop at the moment, so can't check). [06:32] well now that redhat proved it can be done, canonical can follow [06:32] Niterider: cat /proc/cpuinfo [06:32] whoops, make that /proc/filesystems [06:32] k..but i don't need ntfs, just fat 32 [06:32] Niterider: Oh, perfect [06:32] Niterider: Windows on the first partition? [06:32] digium is another company that is doing fantastic giving away their software product as oss [06:32] heh, if ubuntu sold something like rhel, i'd almost definitely buy it [06:32] yup === diente [~diente@201.129.239.73] has joined #ubuntu === Alex_ [~Alex@65-102-255-126.dnvr.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu [06:33] it was my only real prob with it [06:33] hi [06:33] Niterider: Try opening a command line, and: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/floppy [06:33] (or some other mount point) [06:34] am having some trouble with my sound.... [06:34] otherwise i love it (need to really get used to Gnome though) but it's seems to finally be one i can say i'll stick with [06:35] super...thanks fragment [06:35] Niterider: If that works, and you can see your Windows filesystem, you can modify /etc/fstab so it'll always show up in a mountpoint (i.e. folder) of your choice. 'man fstab' is a good place to start [06:35] i had been all the afternoon tryng to get it up.... === mr_hat [~mr_hat@pcp0010308604pcs.avenel01.nj.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [06:35] subterrific: nice, they have any financial reports et al? [06:35] now i'll put it back on [06:35] where are the ppc iso's of ubuntu [06:35] diente: When I have that problem, I start thinking 'Viagra'.... [06:35] k [06:35] :D [06:35] fragment, LOL [06:35] thanks a million [06:36] i recently left a company where we were supporting an oss project, company changed their mind and went completely closed source [06:36] Niterider: No problem! [06:36] that bluepill [06:36] Curses [06:36] diente: Sorry, couldn't resist the joke. [06:36] bbl [06:36] fragment, np [06:36] anyone? [06:36] despite the fact we never "lost" any sales to oss; in fact, it gave us some as the endusers needed support [06:36] diente: Which sound card or chipset is in your machine? [06:36] is there a ppc iso? [06:36] xf: not sure, i just know the guy who started digium and wrote asterisk [06:36] intel 810 [06:37] mr_hat: No idea. I saw ppc mentioned on the Web site, but haven't seen it. [06:37] ah, see, they'd be making loads in support [06:37] diente: Does it get autodetected? [06:37] yup [06:37] it's an area quite in demand, and there's very little offerings [06:37] diente: but no sound? [06:37] in fact alsaconf tell me it is installed then [06:37] alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards found... [06:37] xf: yup, and they sell hardware too. they've got to be making a killing [06:37] when you start to delve into commidity items (such as operating systems), things become quite a bit harder, imho [06:37] after i get that message [06:37] diente: hmm. [06:37] subterrific: i'd be bloody surprised if they wern't :-) [06:38] Now ALSA is ready to use. [06:38] For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer. [06:38] Still getting the GRUB loading hang.. curses [06:38] diente: My wife's iBook is in for repair, so I can't check my desktop. I use the same drivers. [06:38] Zolrath: what kind of hd are you installing on, ata or sata? === Mais [~mais@dpc6935216241.direcpc.com] has left #ubuntu [] [06:38] ata [06:38] this is very strange... [06:38] diente: And if you pop open a mixer (gmix? mixer applet?) what happens? [06:39] no soundcard installed... [06:39] Zolrath: btw, with my install i told the partitioner thingy to automatically allocate one entire hard drive. i'm guessing that perhaps made a difference (although i did do a dud install with it, too) === doko [doko@dsl-084-057-022-219.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu [06:39] Zolrath: Does GRUB give you any error message? === eazel7 [~eazel7@host101.200-117-164.telecom.net.ar] has joined #ubuntu [06:39] Nope it it just sits at GRUB loading, please wait... [06:39] diente: Anything interesting if you 'dmesg | [06:39] hi [06:39] 'dmesg | less' ? [06:39] Hi eazel7 [06:39] diente: what happens if u run alsamixer? [06:40] punkass_ alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device [06:40] hmm ok..will i would guess that an oss driver is getting loaded before the alsa one [06:41] If i can get a Some pages to Load But not all is this a DNS problem [06:41] jason__: probably [06:41] may I suggest something to the packagers? [06:41] jason__: You can test by doing a DNS lookup of the site and then trying with the IP. [06:41] hmmm [06:42] i dont see any oss derived driver when i try lsmod [06:42] jason__: pop open a terminal and try 'host www.google.com' or 'nslookup www.google.com' and then substitute the IP for the hostname in the URL. [06:42] fragment, nothing strange in dmesg [06:42] hmm yeah, ubuntu has the 810 oss drivers pre-black listed to i think [06:43] I think I may fail. [06:43] nope, still only getting 10kb/sec from archive.ubuntu, and definitely have bandwidth available [06:43] yup, they are blacklisted === mr_hat [~mr_hat@pcp0010308604pcs.avenel01.nj.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu [] [06:43] punkass_: which is good, because they're very b0rked on my laptop === Agrajag [~Agrajag@68-190-201-37.sb-eres.charterpipeline.net] has joined #ubuntu [06:44] i agree [06:44] Treenaks: heheh === fragment makes a mental note to check his sound when his wife is off the computer. === fragment can't wait until she gets her laptop back. [06:45] hehehe [06:45] Actually, she can't either. [06:46] well, i will continue googleing, maybe it can answer me lol [06:46] would you tell me how to create or modify a task for tasksel or aptitude use? [06:46] diente: good luck [06:46] thx [06:46] yeah..im not sure..good luck [06:47] diente: It might also be worthwhile to download Knoppix or Morphix or one of the other live-cd-based distros and see what happens with your sound. [06:47] diente: If it works, you might be able to work backwards and figure out what's different between the two (other than driver versions) [06:48] diente: use mepis...it uses alsa and is based on debian [06:48] fragment, got sound wit knoppix [06:48] im not sure what knoppix uses for sound [06:48] punkass, fragment, my base sistem its debian... [06:48] and i dont have any trouble with it.. [06:48] diente: download, or borrow. Even with broadband, it's no fun to download a few hundred megs just for a test.... [06:49] am tryng to make a tut, for my LUG [06:49] i need to find out what my actual PCMCIA port is, and what driver i need for it [06:49] does alsaconf find your card? [06:49] punkass_ it does [06:49] diente: is this with an ubuntu live cd, or with an install? [06:50] installed [06:50] your sound hardware?

[06:59] thanks anyways [06:59] Anyone know if Ubuntu plans to use jigdo? [07:00] fragment: there's been a bit of discussion, but not much forward motion [07:00] fragment: you can always rsync daily to daily (or otherwise) [07:00] jdub: Ah, good idea. [07:00] jdub: Are you an Ubuntu developer? [07:01] i am a robot from the future, currently naked and looking for clothes [07:01] although i look suspiciously like one of the ubuntu developers [07:01] fragment: he likes to think he is :) [07:01] heheheh [07:01] Well, for anyone present and responsible, nice job. === plovs_ [~plovs@195.13.248.82] has joined #ubuntu [07:01] I thought I saw jigdo files for the daily ubuntu isos [07:01] oh, yeah i agree [07:02] fragment: i wouldn't believe him for a second if his name wasn't on all the release manager's mail [07:02] Agrajag: Ah, yeah, I'm blind: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/warty-i386.jigdo [07:02] Agrajag: Thanks! === fragment has started recommending Ubuntu to friends and co-workers, and wanted to burn something up to date for them.

[07:04] if i copied and compiled this, would it work? http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/8/drivers/pcmcia/o2micro.h [07:04] jdub: it appears i will be giving a couple of those here in The Big Apple :) === ElRaton [~lerat@pasteur-6-82-229-198-144.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu [07:06] mako: http://people.ubuntulinux.org/~jdub/ubuntu-1-2-3/ [07:06] oh [07:06] except i have to update them a bit [07:06] but there's a start [07:06] jdub: i saw those [07:07] jdub: i was looking for the source, i am blind and missing a link somewhere? [07:07] ah, no [07:07] hey jeff is ubuntu getting any support contracts? [07:07] that's just the html [07:07] defendguin: we're doing ok :) [07:08] you guys offer support? [07:08] yes, via canonical.com [07:08] jdub: so python is going to play a big part? [07:08] it just seems like such a nice project i dont wanna see it not be profitable [07:08] if you're interested, mail jeff.waugh@canonical.com [07:08] punkass_: indeed [07:08] cool...just made my first python/pygtk/glade app the other day [07:09] jdub: do you know of any good tutorials/howtos on making applets with python? [07:09] i'm working on some python code right now [07:09] punkass_: I think there is one on pygtk.org...just a sec === fragment is a SciTE addict. [07:09] actually, trying to wrap a horribly designed c++ library in python using SWIG [07:09] punkass, there are some good ones you can find on google [07:09] it's a total nightmare === jdub thinks Nafai knows the one he was thinking of ;) [07:10] i did up a little app that scans for wireless networks and connects/ and stores wep keys etc [07:10] punkass_: Plus I have a very brief example in my PyGtk talk I gave at PyCon: http://www.travishartwell.net/pycon2004/ [07:10] works pretty good [07:10] punkass_: i wrote an applet in python, there aren't really any good tutorials. most of what i found on the internet was out of date [07:10] punkass_: http://www.pygtk.org/articles/applets_arturogf/ [07:10] subterrific: yeah thats all i found too [07:11] Nafai: been all over that one..but i couldnt even get his example to run [07:11] jdub: Mind if I ask, what kinds of contracts come your way? [07:11] kept getting bonobo activation errors [07:11] Hrm. [07:12] It's been a while since I've tried his example. [07:12] jdub: Training? Integration? Customization? [07:12] he has a run-in-window switch and that works...still get the error but it works [07:12] who would i talk to about getting mol (mac-on-linux) into ubuntu? it's quite essential for a lot of ppc linux users [07:12] fragment: we do professional services for ubuntu, and can be very flexible in terms of services offered [07:12] vasi: it'll be in universe, whether it builds or not. perhaps check out why it's not building. [07:13] hrm [07:13] it's in universe. it's built. but it doesn't work. [07:13] actually [07:13] compiled against the wrong kernel [07:13] justdave: ahar [07:13] mol has kernel-specific drivers [07:13] yeah, the drivers aren't prebuilt === jdub can't see it in the build logs -> i guess that's because they only log failures ;) [07:14] i have it working locally, i just want to help get it working for everyone [07:14] I grabbed source and tried to build it the other day, but didn't get very far. all the depends have the debian package names for the kernel packages [07:14] er, s/have/HAD/ === almostlucky [~almostluc@c-24-126-193-110.we.client2.attbi.com] has joined #ubuntu [07:14] vasi: if you patch up the source package to do the right thing, we can fix it in universe [07:14] punkass_: Here's something very brief, starting here: http://www.travishartwell.net/pycon2004/fslc/slides-27.html [07:14] Nafai: on # 14 now ;) [07:15] jdub, it needs a rebuild for every kernel upgrade though...is that doable? [07:15] punkass_: :) [07:15] vasi: we can build all of debian sid's main in less than a week :) [07:15] jdub: Nice [07:16] (at least the bits that work in universe atm) [07:16] alright, just making sure it's ok...i'll log everything i have to do to make it work, and then i'll come back and get help with debianizing everything [07:16] jdub: what kind of build setup is that? bunch of opterons? [07:16] Nafai: ah that was probably it...do think i had the server file in the right spot [07:16] vasi: if you apt-get source mac-on-linux (or the drivers package if it's separate) [07:16] vasi: just make a patch [07:16] subterrific: intels for the ix86 [07:16] punkass_: *nods* [07:16] subterrific: we have amd64 machines for those [07:17] mac xservs for ppc [07:17] how is multi-threading in python? [07:17] subterrific: g5 xserves for ppc32 (and hopefully ppc64 next release) [07:17] oooh xserves [07:17] punkass_: it works well, with one caveat. [07:17] thats gotta be one sweet setup [07:17] which is the thing called the GIL - global interpreter lock. [07:17] punkass_: Avoid threading anyway. [07:17] Nafai: haha [07:18] jdub: Sorry. I can't help myself. [07:18] well how do u seperate a button press with the execution of something [07:18] which means that C modules block all threads as they enter the module, until the module has released the GIL, and so forth. [07:18] i want the gui to stay active will foo is running [07:18] punkass_: usually via an event queue & event loop. [07:18] non blocking IO is your friend. [07:18] ah ok...more reading for me [07:18] if you're going gtk, there is good stuff in there, [07:19] and gnome vfs has async io support abstracted for you. [07:19] Nafai: when you really think you want threads, eat an apple. and write a state machine. [07:19] lots more reading fo rme :) [07:19] lol [07:19] lifeless: you wrap blocking i/o calls in Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS so it doesn't block [07:19] or did i misunderstand? === geek_punk [~zodman@201.128.26.119] has joined #ubuntu [07:20] I guess I should sleep sometime soon === geek_punk [~zodman@201.128.26.119] has left #ubuntu [] === geek_punk [~zodman@201.128.26.119] has joined #ubuntu [07:20] threads are ok for one case: long computations [07:21] whoo hoo [07:21] It only took 12 tries === geek_punk [~zodman@201.128.26.119] has left #ubuntu [] [07:21] but after all those reinstalls it finally let me finish installation [07:21] jdub: Any Stormix refugees on the Ubuntu project? [07:22] hah, i remember stormix [07:22] Not a bad distro. I was sorry to see it go. [07:22] i just remember the blinding blue-and-green installer [07:23] a friend of mine used to work for stormix... wow that brings back memories [07:23] I kept waiting for their clustering bits and pieces to come together. [07:23] fragment: no idea. :) [07:24] What was the marketingspeak? NOW...Network of Workstations. Lots of good ideas in there, though. Good people, too, I hear. [07:24] NOW was progeny, wasn't it? [07:24] what's the difference between linux-powerpc and linux-image-powerpc? [07:24] jdub: Oh, yep, you're right. [07:25] jdub: Mixing my history [07:25] jdub: Must be past my bedtime. === fragment keeps waiting for someone to splice together SFS and SSH so you can use one set of keys for remote access and file sharing. [07:27] fragment, why not just use ssh for file sharing and remote access? [07:27] Something Mac-like. Drop someone's public key in a folder and it gives them permission.... [07:28] theantix: SFS works like NFS, so no FTP/SCP-style client issues. [07:29] theantix: Unless there's some way to mount a filesystem through SSH that I don't know about...which is likely.... [07:29] yeah, that'd be cool... have an authorized_keys.d/ directory :) [07:29] drop the .pub files in it instead of having to cat them onto a single file [07:29] exactly [07:29] fragment, you can use shfs to do that, works pretty good but has to be a kernel module so not newbie-friendly [07:29] theantix: Ah [07:30] theantix: I'll have to look into that. Thanks! [07:30] no problem -- there are a few other similar projects too,though I don't know the names offhand [07:31] I suspect there's something lurking in GNOME's VFS somewhere, too. [07:31] you can mount sftp:// with gnome-vfs [07:31] I've been too lazy to go hunting. [07:31] of course [07:31] i do it all the time [07:31] has a few bugs, but generally works great [07:31] fragment: connect to server... -> sftp:// etc. [07:31] fragment: looks just like a filesystem mount [07:32] Oh, heck, OK. [07:32] and will work in (most) of your gnome apps [07:32] hell yeah, i just got this callback working from c++->python === fragment used to do a lot of WebDAV mounts with gnome-vfs, but not much anymore. [07:33] is the linux-source package contain the same sources as are used to build linux-image? or do i have to patch? [07:34] no ubuntu stickers yet? [07:34] vasi: same source [07:34] er, s/is/does/ [07:34] thanks subterrific [07:34] At one time, I was messing around quite a bit with Zope, LDAP-authentication and WebDAV to get some convenient access, but it was just too cumbersome and no (easy?) SSL support. [07:34] defendguin, the first release isn't even out yet... =) [07:34] vasi: and if you want to use a vanilla kernel and patch, just use the linux-tree package [07:34] it pulls in the patches and source [07:34] And Apache doesn't have decent multiuser WebDAV. You end up stuck with MS or Novell. [07:35] I really wanted WebDAV-enabled home directories. [07:35] theantix, yeah but i need a sticker to put on my laptop [07:35] how do you think apple handles that with .Mac? [07:35] subterrific: No idea. [07:35] fragment: i think they use apache but no SSL? [07:36] or maybe they've got some crazy webobjects app for it... [07:36] subterrific: I tried for a long time to work something with Apache, but no go. Oracle's Collaboration Suite will do something similar, and apparently Novell can do it pretty handily, but I would love to know how Apple swings it. === aitrus [~foo@67-50-97-21.dsl1.chi.il.frontiernet.net] has joined #ubuntu [07:37] ubuntu doesn't see my usb keyboard when i try to install [07:37] subterrific: If you only want WebDAV, that's not a huge issue, but I wanted SMB, AppleShare and WebDAV access to the same filesystem. [07:37] i can use it at the boot: prompt, but once the installer loads, i'm done [07:37] appleshare? are you crazy? [07:37] any ideas as to what to try? === zenwhen [1001@host-216-78-81-117.bgk.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu [07:38] subterrific: Yeah, or whatever they call it these days. AFS (but not Andrew FS). [07:38] i think netatalk can do that [07:38] subterrific: I work in education, so you're always trying to support everything under the sun. [07:38] aitrus, did you select a weird keymap maybe? [07:38] AFP Appleshare File Protocol [07:38] i can't select a keymap [07:38] fragment: appleshare is so horribly slow. apple doesn't even support it in the finder well...it's the best way to freeze the finder. [07:38] i don't get that far [07:38] afp://machinename/sharename [07:39] vasi: as soon as the first curses screen comes up, my keyboard no longer works [07:39] vasi: Yeah, I was doing netatalk and samba, having both authenticate to a Windows domain. Worked well, but the Mac users could always get access from the Internet via AppleShareIP (supported via netatalk). [07:39] SMB over the Internet -- not goot. [07:39] s/goot/good [07:39] WebDAV would have simplified a lot. [07:40] I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if most firewalls and public routers block SMB by default these days because of all the viruses that hack it [07:40] subterrific: One of the districts I work in now, we saw issues with Adobe's InDesign and image previews not working correctly via SMB. [07:41] subterrific: Might be fixed now in Panther, but it forced us to go back to AFP there, too. [07:41] fragment: right because of resource forks [07:42] subterrific: alternate data streams on NTFS -- that's a whole nightmare, too, and I'd much rather deal with it on ext2/3 than on NTFS. [07:42] (Windows stores resource forks in ADS on NTFS) [07:43] So, long story short, if you hear of WebDAV+SSL for home directories, let me know! ;) === chutwig [~edmundrhu@nat01-easton-ext.Rutgers.EDU] has joined #ubuntu === fragment also remembers talking with the Eazel guys about getting one of their WebDAV servers hosted locally, right before they went under. [07:48] Don't know what they were running, either, and they were reluctant to talk much about it before they could work out how much it would cost. [07:48] java stuff [07:49] Yeah? [07:51] is yaboot-installer the system installer? [07:52] They didn't consider it as an opportunity until I pointed out to them that (especially before SharePoint) they were one of the few user-oriented WebDAV solutions around. It was actually someone there that said I should also look into Novell, which they turned down but said could also be a (more expensive) solution. [07:54] Actually, I didn't consider it an opportunity, either. I was just looking for a solution, and realized I was already using one in their demo. [07:55] jdub, requested features for nautilus should they be put in bugzilla as well (nautilus-sendto) [07:55] The guy on the phone said, "Uh, would you be willing to pay for something like that?" [07:55] i have a laptop on one wifi network and its working then move to another network and i cant get to the web [07:55] then i find that the dns settings are different for the other network [07:55] ie 10.237.1.1 now 192.168.1.1 [07:55] but it doesnt update [07:56] punkass_: Maybe add a set DNS server accessible from anywhere as the first entry? [07:56] now shouldnt dhclient figure that out? [07:56] punkass_: It should. [07:57] but how can you if you are always behind a router [07:57] and they may all be different [07:57] anyone have any ideas that i could try to get this usb keyboard working for an install? [07:57] punkass_: hopefully NAT/PAT will handle it. [07:57] punkass_: Which it should, if you can still get on the Web without going through a proxy. [07:58] yeah like i can type an ip in and it will work but no address work === almostlucky [~almostluc@c-24-126-193-110.we.client2.attbi.com] has joined #ubuntu [07:59] what would be a DNS server accesible from anywhere? [07:59] punkass_: Yeah, I can't remember the technique, but there's a way to keep entries in resolv.conf through dhclient changes, so if you can find a public DNS server (like maybe your ISP?) you can keep it as the first entry, and hopefully it will always go out and grab it. [07:59] punkass_: Or, look for another dhclient option to better update the resolv.conf [08:00] yeah i think thats what ill do...and if all else fails ill write my own little script that will edit resolv [08:00] punkass_: The DNS server where I went to college was public for years. When I was an AT&T cable customer and their DNS servers would always crap out, I got in the habit of setting it to Someone Else's DNS so I could just ride out the storms. === jsanti [~jsanti@200.124.175.121] has joined #ubuntu [08:01] punkass_: I just checked, and it's no longer public. :( === Tomcat_ [Tomcat@pD9E60817.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu === zolrath [~zolrath@24-176-234-3.ata-cres.charterpipeline.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:02] well if i make the resolv just point at the router, the router normally has a dns that it looks at === euler [~natet@66-191-10-3.wa.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu [08:04] punkass_: The router does dns resolution? [08:05] So, if you add your default gateway to resolv.conf, it works? [08:05] That should be easy to script. [08:05] yeah like even my little aopen router here gets dns addys from shaw [08:05] yeah but not ever router is set to the same ip range [08:05] punkass_: Mine pulls it, but then passes it via DHCP [08:05] You can't actually query mine. [08:06] well i think mine just sends it through the gateway to the DNS servers [08:06] (mine = my router) [08:06] cool [08:07] Oh, dude! That works on mine, too. [08:07] hehe [08:07] That is a slick trick. [08:07] yes [08:08] Yeah, so that should be cake to code. [08:08] so if thats common for most routers, than rewriting the resolv should be easy [08:09] i already have my little app that detects and brings up the network so i can just add it to that [08:09] Well, that's enough excitement for one day. Morning comes in like six hours, and the commute sucks if I don't get enough sleep. [08:10] how long is the commute? [08:10] 'night, everyone [08:10] Just under an hour [08:10] yuck [08:10] Yeah [08:10] takes me 10mins to get to work [08:10] But I take the backroads. It keeps me off the freeway and is a lot more fun. [08:10] and its all along the waterfront [08:10] lol nice [08:11] nite [08:12] I used to work about a half hour away -- and a half-hour at 30 MPH through town -- but I took a new job about 40 miles away that netted me a hefty raise, so it's worth it. [08:12] ...or almost worth it, now that gas is going up. [08:12] ah yes..more money is always nice [08:13] the big thing is my wife and I are trying to have kids, and there's no way we could have made it on one income at the old job. Now, it's not likely, but it's doable. [08:13] She's just gone half-time. We call it practice for being broke. [08:13] i just got my wife knocked up :) [08:13] Hey, congratulations! [08:13] thank man [08:13] s/thank/thanks [08:14] yea being tight for $$ sucks [08:14] Yeah. Her first half-check is Thursday, so I guess we'll see. [08:14] i finally got a good paying job and is much nicer [08:14] I'm already sweating it. [08:15] but i dont live in a big city or anything so the cost of living is pretty cheap [08:15] We'll make it OK, but we have another, what, two years to go to pay off our student loans. Plus, she's a teacher, so she's got to get a Masters in the next 2-3 years just to keep her job. [08:15] the one thing i found when it comes to money, is that somehow it always seems to work out [08:15] ....so there's another student loan.... [08:16] ouch [08:16] punkass_: Yeah, everyone keeps saying so, and I believe it. Doesn't mean I'm not nervous, but I believe it. :) [08:16] Man, I wish it was only 2-3 years till my student loans are paid off. [08:16] well it is true...but it still sucks [08:17] well i was lucky and got this funding to pay for my schooling.. [08:17] and i dont have to pay it back :) [08:17] I've been fortunate enough to make enough money that my wife hasn't had to work. [08:17] If we can squeak by until the student loans are paid off, that'll be a huge weight off and we'll be fine. Within a 3-month window, I think we pay off both student loans and her car, so it'll feel like we're rich overnight. === vincent [~vincent@bonnefoy-3-82-224-105-22.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu === splinta [~splinta@dialin-168-78.tor.primus.ca] has joined #ubuntu [08:18] punkass_: Very nice!

[08:19] http://www.totallycrap.com/media/indexpaint.html quicktime mov...kinda funny [08:20] yeah that'll make a big difference eh [08:20] But damn, 10 years on the student loans, you'd think you'll never get to the end. [08:20] 10 years...holy crap [08:20] Yeah [08:20] how long were u in school for? [08:22] Five years. Almost six. Five for my undergrad (foreign language minor declared too late for a 4-year stint), then took a semester off, then took a bunch of stuff for fun for a semester. The loans didn't have to be paid back for a year after the last time I was a full-time student, so figure six years after becoming a freshman in college I had to start paying them back. [08:23] ...or seven. [08:23] lol [08:23] too late to do math [08:24] yeah i should eat some food and go to bed [08:24] fifth, grad, sixth, play, seventh, payback. That's right.

[08:30] euler, on the menu of grub doesn' appear window partition [08:31] Ok, that is different. The ubuntu installer autodetected my windows partition and put an entry in the menu for it. Have you tried to create a menu entry for the windows partition in the grub menu? [08:32] how do that [08:32] edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. There is an example in there for setting up an entry for booting a windows system. [08:36] Basically your entry will look something like this: [08:37] title Windows NT/2000/XP [08:37] root (hd0,0) [08:37] savedefault [08:37] makeactive [08:37] chainloader +1 [08:37] Wow, that didnt' work so well.

[08:40] euler: ah, okay... never been a problem for me in fedora/debian grub before, but I'll defer to your judgement [08:40] I'm not saying that there isn't another solution, just that when I was having my problems dual booting, several people reported that they also had issues and that removing that line allowed them to boot. [08:41] Hopefully that will help that guy.

[12:36] But Ubuntu amongst the countless Debian-derivatives Ihave evaluated (just this knack of trying new distros) is the best I must say...maybe I'm just biased but it is hehe [12:36] |trey|: filed a bug? [12:36] that seems amazingly broken [12:36] <|trey|> bob2: its happened on 4 or 5 different distro's, using cdrecord on its own is just easier :/ [12:36] bob2: what about copying a cd?

[01:01] you know, it could be pretty easy to just automatically set the root password to the first users password by default [01:01] at install time [01:01] |trey|: I installed it ten minutes ago [01:01] ie sudo never worked [01:02] cef: yeah [01:02] cef: true, but sudo has been pretty damn reliable for me; never seen it die except when the binary gets nuked by disk corruption [01:02] cef: I don't think it will be a common problem, it's never bothered me before [01:02] cef: talked about that, what happens when the user changes his password? [01:02] and mebbe even add it so that if the user changes his password, the root password also gets changed [01:02] <|trey|> thom: the password is different? [01:02] mmm. synaptic doesn't does apt-get clean automagically? [01:03] |trey|: yes, and now we've broken user expectation and potentially broken their system [01:03] store the strings on disk in shadow as identical copies, that way you can't use the pair of them to cut the search space in half if you try a brute force (assuming that they can access the shadow file) [01:03] <|trey|> pisuke: no... apt-get clean can fuck up deps... a very bad thing when you wish to remove something like KDE (trust me on this ;) [01:04] ggr, now sudo is hung because there's no DNS [01:04] <|trey|> thom: I think sudo should maybe be the "recommended method" and root should be configured as normal... [01:04] |trey|, heh [01:04] |trey|: apt-get clean deletes stuff from /var/cache/apt/archives nothing else. [01:04] it absolutely can *not* fuck up deps [01:05] |trey|: why? [01:05] thom: re: sudo and corruption: true.. but what if (and this is my whole point).. there is a security bug in sudo. they rush to release a fixed package, and in the process it breaks something for the majority of users, but not the developer who tested it (eg: a lib dependency).. suddenly, you have lots of non-working systems [01:05] <|trey|> thom: ok... install Debian... install GNOME and KDE... upgrade to sid... remove kdebase (for instance) and look at what is removed... hint, most of KDE remains... [01:05] |trey|: that has nothing to do with apt-get clean. [01:06] <|trey|> thom: Its caught me out about 4935794357653 times [01:06] <|trey|> bob2: it usually happens after an apt-get clean :/ [01:06] |trey|: that's removing, not *clean* [01:06] <|trey|> never see it if I keep them around :/ [01:07] <[Bas] > pisuke, in synaptic go to settings --> prefs --> temp files and choose the methode you like (clean after install) [01:07] |trey|: apt-get clean reall yreally only deletes .debs from /var/cache/apt/archives/. it does not install or remove any packages. [01:07] what' [01:07] s the sysrq key on powermacs? [01:07] cef: well, this assumes that the distribution doesn't test at all, either. but yes, i understand what you're saying, but the same could happen with PAM and a stack of other things [01:07] |trey|: I can confirm bob2's comment.. (and that's cos I've looked at the apt source previously) [01:08] <|trey|> bob2: I dunno... explain it any other way... apt-get clean is the only common difference in that working and not working :/ === sivang [~user1@80.179.82.236.forward.012.net.il] has joined #ubuntu === joebeastie2 [~joe@kaam0.yokota.attmil.ne.jp] has joined #ubuntu [01:08] |trey|: then you did something else. it would be a critical bug in apt if it did that, and I've never heard of it happening before.

[01:19] |trey|: no i will get off of this one. :( [01:20] sorry bout that [01:21] fabbione: actually sivang has a good point.. what if the 3d support could be added as a binary module of some type to the existing nv driver? now that'd rock.. it'd be a bit of work for nvidia of course [01:21] fabbione: it'd get rid of this '2 driver shuffle' issue.. hrm.. now if only we can convince nvidia.. *grin* [01:21] cef : for nvidia? assuming they would agree [01:21] ? [01:22] cef : can't we reverse engineer it and hack it to our needs? [01:22] sivang: true.. that is the thorn of course.. then again.. it'd reduce the code they'd have to maintain [01:22] :->> [01:22] sivang: now you need to change the Horiz/Vert frequency entry in X config and restart X [01:22] watch out that it doesn't become a second 'pwc'... [01:22] fabbione : ok, what values? [01:23] pwc? [01:23] sivang: the one you get from xresprobe [01:23] sivang: that'd take a while.. and why not let nvidia bring the code closer to what we have first before we bother to do that. *grin* [01:23] sivang: just re-run it again [01:23] sivang: and it should get the new freq range [01:23] sivang: if freq are the same, you only need to restart X to let the driver figures that it can run at 100Hz [01:24] cef: welcome to do so. i have binary drivers enough already ;) [01:24] Treenaks: that assumes that we'd be trying to get the nvidia kernel module integrated into the kernel.. which would not be a good idea [01:24] s/have/hate [01:24] cef : I think I'll try to approach them about that.

[06:36] I ask because it is happening and I want to know whether I should file a bug. [06:36] elim: Why are you installing kde from source? [06:36] well i know they dont put any on there by default [06:36] hypatia, with what program? [06:37] anyone knows how to open a nautilus window with root privileges? I need to edit smb.conf... [06:37] trukulo: when I plug my USB digicam in, an "sda1" icon appears on the desktop. === Vorph777 [~vorph@212.36.32.198] has joined #ubuntu [06:37] Jaramin: sudo nautilus [06:37] hypatia, send a bug report, then [06:37] hypatia: that's normal, it mounts it as a drive [06:37] or at least it should be [06:38] same thing if you pop in a cd [06:38] Telep: I know it's normal to mount it, but I think Ubuntu has decided that having any icons appear without the user asking for them is a problem [06:38] Hence, it may be a bug in Ubuntu even if its normal gnome behvaiour [06:39] hmm... well I hope they still allow for that behaviour :) [06:39] even if they change the default [06:39] ggi: tried that, but it's fugly, even if it works. the terminal window gets into some sort of waiting mode and it won't get out of it until the window I opened with it is closed [06:39] Hello all. I just installed ubuntu - starts X and brings up the login screen ok but when I log in it loads for a bit then hangs at the "ubuntu" splash screen. Any ideas? [06:40] Vorph777: did you try clicking the splash screen? [06:40] Jaramin: Couldn't you just edit the file with a console text editor? If you must, you can do 'sudo nautilus &' to detach it from the terminal. [06:40] Telep - aye, no luck. Mouse cursor still moving but that's it [06:40] hmm [06:42] ggi: I guess I could, but I come from the windows world, I like gui apps, that's the reason I love Ubuntu :) I'll try with the "&". === jayeola [~jayeola@dsl-80-42-86-128.access.uk.tiscali.com] has joined #ubuntu [06:44] I just upgraded via "Smart Upgrade" and evolution was uninstalled.

[06:47] ggi: in other distros there's often a "open file explorer as root" icon, as much as there is already a "open terminal as root" shortcut, think it would be a nice addition. [06:47] its on by default so i assume they want mounted icons to show up [06:48] ggi: yep... I shouldn't? [06:48] punkass_: yep, but I want to know whether it *already should be* off. [06:48] Jaramin: No, that's ok. Let me try... [06:49] Jaramin: Ah, I get it. Try 'gksudo nautilus &' instead.

[06:59] Jaramin: I don't think you have to worry about that too much. [07:01] ggi: ok. I'll try to figure out a way to make a shortcut that does the same thing as for the root terminal... any place to post that suggestion to developpers? [07:02] Jaramin: The mailing lists, I guess.

[07:49] when I try to remove the data server it wants to do it [07:49] because evolution conflicts with the latest version of evolution-data-server [07:49] not my idea [07:49] hence, if you have an old version of evolution-data-server still around on your harddrive or in package lists, you should use that. === jono-writing [~jono@82-37-194-90.cable.ubr05.wolv.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu [07:49] or wait until they fix the build errors in the latest evolution [07:50] so stick with the number one version?
