| dies_irae | uhci-hcd appears to deal with usb | 12:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Qua | that is the USB 1.1 driver for most of Intel boards and otherwise works quite nicely... i suspect buggy hw | 12:00 |
| dies_irae | Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Compaq piece of junk. :/ | 12:00 |
| Qua | but lets not guve up and figure out how to disable the beast ... mmt | 12:00 |
| dies_irae | I was hoping that I could disable it in the bios, but there's no real settings for anything there. | 12:01 |
| Drew | I have a question, has anyone else had a problem with the installer sitting at 36% under "Installing Ubuntu Base System" while "Installing Core Packages", I have had it sit like that for about 10 minutes before rebooting and trying agin, to no avail... | 12:01 |
| Qua | ubuntu !?! it is supposed to work according to kernel Docs for my 2.6.8.1 | 12:02 |
| Qua | dies_irae: i am not in ubuntu right now (plain debian), is there some "failsafe" recovery or whatever option in grub? | 12:03 |
| Qua | like kernel with different parameters.. i would like to know the version you are booting | 12:03 |
| jmhodges | hm.. does anyone know of a way to add id3 tags to flac files? | 12:03 |
| Drew | it ran fine in a VMWare virtual machine, but now that I try and install it on a secondary hard drive for dual boot it always hangs up at 36% | 12:03 |
| dies_irae | Yeah, there is. Let me try that. | 12:04 |
| Qua | HockeyFan22: error message pleas | 12:04 |
| HockeyFan22 | one sec | 12:04 |
| plovs | Drew: on another console is it really stuck or is it just slow | 12:04 |
| HockeyFan22 | qua "your installintion cd could not be mounted..." | 12:05 |
| Qua | Drew: yup another console, "vmstat 1", "ifconfig" twice in a row, packet count changes? | 12:05 |
| Drew | i'm not using VMware now | 12:05 |
| Qua | vmstat 1 watches in- and out- going blocks in io/mem/swap subsystems | 12:06 |

| Qua | dies_irae: nah, don't give up... it ought to be possible to disable it even in ubuntu kernel, otherwise you can compile your own (i do it for instance) | 12:07 |
| plovs | i need to do that installing a compaq proliant we have | 12:07 |
| Qua | plovs: thats what i said the first time | 12:07 |

| Qua | and what kernel version do you have *now*? i have no idea what's on the ubuntu cd, so please read the grub line for me (hopefully they don't have symlink there, tho it would be smarter so they probably have..) | 12:10 |
| Qua | aeruder: ubuntu is debian under the hood, indeed | 12:10 |

| Qua | dies_irae: thats the latest | 12:11 |
| Qua | knoppix 3.4 has 2.6.4 I believe, knoppix 3.6 is the latest, but the kernel config is heavily tweaked and there is lots of clever detection | 12:11 |

| HockeyFan22 | qua: all it says is "cd cannot be mounted" | 12:13 |
| Qua | dies_irae: could you try knoppix again and somehow save output of "dmesg", "lspci -vvv" and "lsmod" ? | 12:13 |
| dies_irae | Sure. | 12:13 |
| Qua | HockeyFan22: right, sorry | 12:13 |
| crimsun | riley: you need to apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 12:14 |
| riley | crimsun: so it comes back to my problem with the nic lol | 12:14 |
| Qua | HockeyFan22: where does it say that, what is befpre that? | 12:14 |
| riley | crimsun: I still can't get it to work... when i tried ip -4 addr..., it didn't do anything | 12:15 |
| HockeyFan22 | the loading of the modules right after the choosing of the lanquage | 12:15 |
| HockeyFan22 | after the loading disappears | 12:15 |
| HockeyFan22 | then it hangs for a bit | 12:15 |
| Qua | ugh, that is strange | 12:16 |
| Qua | bad cd | 12:16 |
| Qua | seriously, does it have some self-test (i only installed once, don't remember) ? | 12:16 |
| HockeyFan22 | i dont know | 12:16 |
| crimsun | riley: what nic do you use? | 12:17 |
| HockeyFan22 | the wierd thing is that this happens on other distros's, but if i load it with nodma and noapic it works | 12:17 |
| riley | crimsun: it's attached to my soyo motherboard | 12:17 |
| Qua | otherwise burn another and make sure that md5sum matches... the isos contain their own md5sum, so reasonably smart burning tool, like k3b, can and does verify correctness on the image before burning (k3b default) | 12:17 |
| Se7h | hey | 12:17 |

| Se7h | a... | 12:17 |
| Se7h | forget it | 12:17 |
| Qua | HockeyFan22: your burner then doesn't like dma! | 12:17 |
| Qua | HockeyFan22: i have heard about those | 12:18 |
| crimsun | riley: right, but what chipset is the nic? | 12:18 |
| HockeyFan22 | im not sure if its the burner ot the hardware | 12:18 |
| riley | crimsun: um, i don't know... how would i find that out? is it related to the chipset of the motherboard? | 12:18 |
| HockeyFan22 | the other possibilitu is that the cdrom is a cdrw | 12:19 |
| Qua | HockeyFan22: well kernel config has option "enable dma only for disks" after you enable dma itself and in help for that it says there were some problems with certain drives | 12:19 |

| crimsun | guptan: perhaps a better question is when did you install ubuntu? | 12:28 |
| Qua | dies_irae: what i meant is that despite the kernel setting a userspace configuration tool called kudzu could have tried to modprobe the USB module "behind your back".. which is a wild theory as USB is not supposed to work at that point anyway because kernel doesn't allow it at all... but if usbcore is a module as well, things can happen | 12:28 |

| George | hazmat: which PowerBook? | 12:53 |
| hazmat | George, yes | 12:54 |
| dies_irae | Thanks for your help, Qua, I really appreciate your efforts. | 12:54 |
| George | hazmat: I've got a PowerBook G4 667MHz "Oynx" - any idea how well it'll work? :) | 12:54 |
| hazmat | George, rev 4, nov 2002 - the last one with all the hardware supported | 12:54 |
| Qua | dies_irae: it has nothing to do with ubuntu as it has nothing to do with fedora it has been reported for, but it will make people aware of the problem | 12:54 |

| hazmat | George, yup.. did the install wireless, installer detected airport and setup the network | 12:54 |
| George | hazmat: ok | 12:54 |
| George | hazmat: and DRI? | 12:55 |
| hazmat | yup.. out of the box it just worked | 12:55 |
| George | nice | 12:55 |
| hazmat | i did this all manually with gentoo before.. | 12:55 |
| === hazmat shudders | ||
| George | heh | 12:55 |
| George | I'm using Gentoo on my PowerBook G4 1.25GHz | 12:55 |
| George | but I can't be arsed to install it on my 667MHz TiBook | 12:55 |
| hazmat | yup.. i was staring in the face of three days of compiling to upgrade my system.. and i said screw it... and installed ubuntu. | 12:56 |
| Qua | dies_irae: in the meantime, if you dare, you can compile your own kernel, fishing out the config from loopback-mounted iso image, so that ubuntu will be happy with it.. and disable all usb altogether | 12:56 |
| George | hazmat: haha | 12:56 |
| George | hazmat: what gcc does ubuntu have? | 12:56 |
| hazmat | George, gcc-3.3 and gcc-3.4 are avail | 12:56 |
| fnordotronic | anyone know how to get a larger list of packages for synaptic? | 12:57 |
| George | hazmat: woot | 12:57 |
| dies_irae | Haha, I don't think I dare to do that. I'm not experienced enough with this kind of thing yet, unfortunately. Thanks, though. I'll submit it. | 12:57 |
| George | hazmat: and cd/dvd burning worked out of the box? | 12:57 |
| dredg | 3.3.4-1 is the current version, almost fresh install | 12:57 |

| micX | opi, heh. how does it _seem_ then? | 01:05 |

| opi | micX: you should try it, it was quite painless with Debian :) | 01:05 |
| riley | crimsun: i ran the command and then tried to run ifconfig | 01:05 |

| morteoh | does it have mono? | 01:07 |
| opi | mono is somewhere | 01:07 |
| burriko | but warty is so up-to-date anyway, so is it worth upgrading to hoary? | 01:07 |

| riley_ | so do either of you know how I should go about fixing this? i've already tried a reinstall of the entire os and that didn't work | 03:32 |
| riley_ | LinuxJones, only network interface not found | 03:32 |
| riley_ | which means that i don't have an up to date version | 03:33 |
| LinuxJones | riley_, I think your in trouble, without termial access you cannot fix the problem unless you can login with say knoppix and edit some files manually | 03:34 |
| LinuxJones | riley_, you know the module that needs to get loaded for your nic ? | 03:35 |
| riley_ | well i have a gentoo livecd, would that do the job? | 03:35 |
| morteoh | there should be a ubuntu-livecd.. :) (is it comming.. ?) :) | 03:36 |
| LinuxJones | riley_, yes you have to mount the partition that has /etc directory on it and add the module name for your network card to /etc/modules so that it will load upon re-boot | 03:36 |
| riley_ | LinuxJones, I'm not sure, but the chipset is VIA VT6120 GbE and another guy told me i needed via-v something lol and i tried it and then he told me i'd need to edit /etc/network/interfaces, but you can only do that with sudo | 03:37 |
| riley_ | so mount /dev/hda1, right? | 03:38 |
| LinuxJones | riley_, to load the module you need to add the correct module name to /etc/modules | 03:38 |

| dolson | neighborlee: it's me :) help you my 'boy Phr0stByte with his Input Methods issue if you know how plz :) | 04:14 |
| dolson | neighborlee: if nwn2 runs on Linux, sure, if not, here's hoping it's out for Xbox or Cube | 04:14 |

| riley_ | LinuxJones, now my gentoo LiveCD isn't working anymore... i think i've got a bad motherboard or something, because all 3 distros i've tried haven't worked... | 04:16 |
| burner | hey neighborlee... this mean you've dropped using morphix? | 04:16 |
| neighborlee | dolson, im here for good yup | 04:16 |
| neighborlee | dolson, found my perfect distro ;-0...debian apt ( not a mix either) and gnome is utopia heh | 04:17 |
| dolson | neighborlee: cool. I'm still on Debian, I just recommend this distro to people | 04:17 |
| LinuxJones | riley_, argh that sucks | 04:17 |
| neighborlee | dolson,ah ic..yeah its a slick newbie distro as many things work nice out of the box and the installer is 'decent' I think with a gui one on the way .. | 04:17 |
| === polok_ [~polok@1Cust214.tnt2.wollongong.au.da.uu.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| dolson | anyhow, I'm done work, so time to jet | 04:18 |
| riley_ | LinuxJones, yeah, i seriously don't know what to do about it, i've got a brand new built computer with a mobo i can't exchange that doesn't work | 04:18 |
| neighborlee | burner, I had various problems that I just didnt have time to mess fixing but dont ask me what as I dont remember now LOL..partly I think it was being a mix of the varoius branches and it caused problmes..rough guess though | 04:18 |
| LinuxJones | there will be a text option for the installer but it will be gui based in the near future | 04:18 |

| Phr0stByte | LinuxJone: Sorry - I was Googling. Japanese and Korean | 04:19 |
| burner | so your ubuntu runs well neighborlee? | 04:19 |
| LinuxJones | riley_, were you messing around with settings in the system bios ? | 04:19 |
| Phr0stByte | LinuxJones: Sorry - I was Googling. Japanese and Korean | 04:19 |
| LinuxJones | Phr0stByte, heh | 04:19 |
| neighborlee | Phr0stByte, what are you trying to do...and where are you seeing this 'input methods' again ??? | 04:19 |
| riley_ | LinuxJones, yeah, I switched apic on and off and messed with a few other things to no success | 04:19 |
| neighborlee | burner, so far stable..no problems at all save firefox :( | 04:20 |
| LinuxJones | riley_, reset to your bios defaults only turn off plug and play | 04:20 |
| neighborlee | burner, but its not ubuntu's fault..its firefox utility that updates itself somehow borked and Ican't run it anymore | 04:20 |
| riley_ | LinuxJones, ok, i'll try that | 04:20 |
| Phr0stByte | neighborlee: open up gedit, right-click on the text area. Choose "Input Methods" on the drop down menu. | 04:21 |
| neighborlee | burner, if gives me a weird tiny'ish window...I even uninstalled/reinstalled and still problems | 04:21 |
| burner | firefox? | 04:21 |
| burner | odd | 04:21 |
| neighborlee | Phr0stByte, oh ic now..hmm no i'm afraid i've never had to do such a thing and I dont know what package it would be :( | 04:22 |
| Phr0stByte | neighborlee: Most Gnome apps have this option | 04:22 |
| neighborlee | ic | 04:23 |
| neighborlee | burner, yup firefox | 04:23 |
| Phr0stByte | neighborlee: I believe if I add the locales to Ubuntu, they would get in the menu, but dont know how. | 04:24 |
| Phr0stByte | neighborlee: Ubuntu only gives you the choice of your default local | 04:24 |
| neighborlee | burner, i tried to update to newer version via its built in updater..and it totally borked it and any version i've tried to use.....I just get this weird small window with this inside:: title="&mainWindow.title;"-----------------^ | 04:24 |
| neighborlee | Phr0stByte, i've got default local and about ten others | 04:24 |
| Phr0stByte | neighborlee: Me too - but not the ones I need | 04:25 |

| ubuntu-nubiee | is that what you mean? which ip? | 06:13 |
| crimsun | what is 192.168.2.1's default gw? | 06:14 |
| crimsun | and 192.168.2.2's? | 06:14 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | 2.1 is the gw and 2.2's is 2.1 | 06:14 |
| crimsun | how are they physically connected? | 06:15 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | just a 10mbps hub | 06:15 |
| crimsun | all three nics are plugged into the hub? | 06:16 |
| === neuro_ [~neuro@neuro.me.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| ubuntu-nubiee | yup, 3 lights on the hub | 06:16 |
| === nanotech [~hypershyf@kaam0.yokota.attmil.ne.jp] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | ok, let's go ahead and try ruling out hardware (cabling) error | 06:17 |
| crimsun | switch the cat5 | 06:17 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | i had this computer working just fine on my LAN with mandrake10, that's why i'm pointing the finger at ubuntu | 06:17 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | yeah, tried that, i'm on my 3rd cable | 06:17 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | and my second hub | 06:18 |
| crimsun | when you issue a ping from the ubuntu box, does its led on the hub indicate activity? | 06:18 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | i'm not sure it's ubuntu, just my best guess | 06:18 |
| burner | can ubuntu ping itself? | 06:18 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | yup | 06:18 |
| burner | it can't ping other machines? | 06:18 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | burner, yes lo and eth0 can ping themselves | 06:18 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | burner, exactly | 06:19 |
| burner | do other machiens have firewall of any sort? | 06:19 |
| burner | and when you do a route command with no arguments, it looks right? | 06:19 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | yeah, my gw has a firewall, it's what i'm chatting on | 06:19 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | as far as i can tell | 06:19 |
| === violajack [~Michelle@roc-69-201-84-72.rochester.rr.com] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| ubuntu-nubiee | just localnet and default | 06:20 |
| crimsun | does your firewall permit packets from only .2? | 06:20 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | no, its nice to 192.168.2.* | 06:20 |
| crimsun | ok | 06:20 |
| crimsun | and your ubuntu nic has an irq assigned? | 06:21 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | route doesn't include lo, but that isn't it, right? | 06:21 |
| === pyramid [~yokel@adsl-68-88-234-66.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | that's correct, it won't usually include lo | 06:21 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | yeah, irq 9 | 06:21 |
| pyramid | man i finally got xsane to work on 2.6 | 06:21 |
| crimsun | is it sharing irq 9 with any other devices? | 06:22 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | how do i check that? | 06:22 |
| crimsun | /proc/interrupts lists them | 06:22 |
| burner | irq... aren't these pci devices? | 06:23 |
| burner | thought irq was only issue on old isa hardware | 06:23 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | yup, pci | 06:23 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | i don't have /proc/interrupts | 06:23 |
| pyramid | what is the package manager in ubuntu | 06:24 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | apt | 06:24 |
| burner | pyramid: for a gui... use synaptic | 06:25 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | ? | 06:25 |
| crimsun | pyramid: apt, synaptic, dselect, etc. | 06:25 |
| pyramid | oh ok they use synaptic..nice features | 06:25 |
| crimsun | ubuntu-nubiee: no, certain devices are very picky about irqs | 06:25 |
| burner | ubuntu-nubiee: i really have no idea for more troubleshooting | 06:25 |
| crimsun | this much we have learned through ALSA debugging | 06:25 |
| burner | if it cna ping itself but not other machines... i'd look for firewall and gateway/netmask | 06:26 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | that's fine. thank you so much for the advice. | 06:26 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | i'll keep at it for a bit longer. | 06:26 |
| crimsun | definitely check the netmask | 06:26 |
| pyramid | it took 8 hours and lots of recompiling with certain use flags to get xsane working with kernel 2.6...but it does work | 06:26 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | yeah, netmask is fine | 06:26 |
| pyramid | along with gimp2 | 06:26 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | thanks again, i'll prolly try again with the next big version | 06:26 |
| pyramid | i sure miss the simple days when the kernel had scanner drivers | 06:27 |
| burner | good luck ubuntu-nubiee | 06:27 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | thanks man | 06:27 |
| ubuntu-nubiee | you too crimsun | 06:28 |
| pyramid | i am going to check out ubuntu when i get another machine | 06:28 |
| pyramid | i saw debian package tools on gentoo...so i guess they can port all the latest stuff to ubuntu | 06:29 |
| fabbione | morning guys | 06:30 |
| joem | pyramid, not quite what that package does | 06:30 |

| pyramid | joem, well i am not sure but there were several debain package tools for gentoo so i guess certain people know how to use them to port all the latest stuff to ubuntu | 06:31 |

| joem | thats how you create debs | 06:33 |
| pyramid | joem the maint-guide is huge...what program do you execute on a tarball to create a .deb file | 06:37 |
| joem | its all explained in the guide | 06:37 |
| pyramid | joem, well when i get time i will read it...i bookmarked it in epiphany 1.4 | 06:37 |

| jasona90 | ahh k ty | 06:48 |
| pyramid | cef, well there are some settings in xorg.conf that might help that a bit | 06:48 |
| cef | pyramid: yeah I know.. I really should just disable the trackpad.. | 06:49 |
| pyramid | DaNeon, you have to be a member of sudo users | 06:49 |
| pyramid | cef, well my mouse works better since i went to hardware glx | 06:49 |
| DaNeon | the user you create when you install ubuntu isn't a member? | 06:49 |
| cef | don't even have glx on this machine.. no gl support on this chipset | 06:50 |
| pyramid | DaNeon, it has been a while but i think you need to add yourself to sudousers somewhere..try the man pages | 06:50 |
| jasona90 | anyone know a good FAQ for Iptables | 06:50 |
| DaNeon | ok | 06:51 |
| pyramid | i just want to get a camera working...with the mfc epson printer/scanner/copier | 06:51 |
| DaNeon | can i set my user to root group or is it too dangerous???? | 06:52 |
| pyramid | at least the epson works...i never could get HP or Brother mfc printers to work. | 06:52 |
| pyramid | but the epson does not have built-in fax so i guess i will have to use the old modem approach with efax-gtk | 06:53 |
| pyramid | i used to have efax working years ago | 06:53 |
| pyramid | DaNeon, no...just put you in sudousers it is a config file somewhere..read the man pages on sudo | 06:55 |
| DaNeon | ok | 06:55 |
| pyramid | DaNeon, i just don't remember those details from long ago...or else i would tell you exactly..but read the man pages it is not too hard. | 06:56 |
| joem | defendguin, you have howl and all that set up right? | 06:56 |

| spooky1 | does any one has installed XP on master primary ide hd and wartydog on slave primary ide and the used grub??? | 07:53 |
| spooky1 | i like to know how i should install Grub | 07:53 |
| spooky1 | when the installation it almos finish | 07:54 |
| spooky1 | finished | 07:54 |
| defendguin | hey how come nifd isnt in howl in ubuntu? | 07:54 |
| pyramid | spooky1, no everybody keeps secondary unused...it is for ghosting the primary and mass duplication for hardware manufacturers | 07:54 |
| spooky1 | it asks where to install the grub MBR o where | 07:54 |
| spooky1 | ok i got it | 07:54 |
| giorsat | for anybody who uses a wireless card using prism2 driver (wlan-ng driver). after 2 days of trouble I dscovered that after installing the linux wlan-ng packages I had to add the line wireless_mode managed in etc/network/interface to get access to my access point in addition to change the line is ad hoc with "n" in /etc/wlan/config-"mylane" files. everythin is ok now. hope it helps someone | 07:55 |
| pyramid | spooky1, you see when you get a primary all configured and everything...then you add a secondary drive and ghost the primary and then put the secondary drive in another computer as a primary drive | 07:55 |
| spooky1 | yes to clone the installation | 07:56 |
| pyramid | spooky1, that way you can sell expensive configured computers without any expense | 07:56 |
| spooky1 | ok | 07:56 |
| spooky1 | but my problem is that I want ubuntu linux installed on Slave primary hdd and keep xp on master primary hdd | 07:57 |
| spooky1 | because my girl prefers winblows | 07:57 |
| spooky1 | but i need both OS | 07:57 |
| pyramid | spooky1, don't waste secondary..put both on primary | 07:57 |
| pyramid | spooky1, that way you can ghost when you want | 07:58 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | there's no reason he can't do what he wants | 07:58 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | put grub on the first drive | 07:58 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | it can still chainload windows | 07:58 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | then ask your gf WTF she needs windows | 07:58 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | because odds are, she doesn't | 07:58 |
| spooky1 | but it overwrites MBR and then XP wont boot | 07:58 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | spooky1: XP boot is on it's partition | 07:58 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | not the MBR | 07:58 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | the MBR simply looks for the partition marked 'boot' | 07:59 |

| spooky1 | ? | 08:00 |
| pyramid | spooky1, there have been reports of xp eating partitions made by fdisk...so some people use the NT bootloader instead of grub | 08:01 |
| burner | NT Bootloader can't load linux... afaik | 08:01 |
| spooky1 | yes that right | 08:01 |
| pyramid | burner, well i have heard people doing it although i don't know how myself | 08:01 |
| spooky1 | but i found that i can | 08:01 |
| spooky1 | copying the 512kb boot area of linux to c | 08:02 |
| spooky1 | to add to ntloader | 08:02 |
| burner | huh... wonders never cease | 08:02 |
| burner | why not just use grub anyway? | 08:03 |
| burner | or lilo | 08:03 |
| burner | just default it to windows for your gf | 08:03 |
| spooky1 | let explain what happens | 08:03 |
| pyramid | burner, because xp eats the partitions | 08:03 |
| burner | xp eats partitions? | 08:03 |
| burner | wtf are you talking about? | 08:03 |
| spooky1 | i installed XP on C: and ubuntu on hdb1 | 08:03 |
| pyramid | burner, yes there are many reports of xp eating partitions made by fdisk | 08:03 |
| spooky1 | then | 08:03 |
| spooky1 | ntloader doesnt works | 08:04 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | usint the NT bootloader is a retarded idea | 08:04 |

| burner | i think the slashdot thing you read was that xp was being wiped out by the fedora install | 08:05 |
| spooky1 | but the ububtu installation doesn let me install grub on hdb because when I do that ubuntu doest works | 08:05 |
| burner | spooky1: why not use the mbr? | 08:05 |
| pyramid | burner, no they said xp eats partitions and they wished they had a newer version of fdisk | 08:05 |
| spooky1 | because it doesn't let me start xp | 08:05 |
| burner | what? | 08:06 |
| spooky1 | yes | 08:06 |
| burner | you can't edit your grub menu to allow xp booting? | 08:06 |
| lothario | they meant to say xp eats s**t, but it got changed by the editors | 08:06 |
| burner | ;) | 08:06 |
| pyramid | lothario, that is funny | 08:06 |
| spooky1 | O:-) | 08:06 |
| burner | seriously... i run grub with xp and linux on many computers perfectly fine | 08:07 |
| spooky1 | but its xp on hda and linux on hdb? | 08:07 |
| pyramid | burner, well so did many others until one day xp ate their partition | 08:07 |

| deFrysk | hdb = prim.slave | 08:10 |
| spooky1 | WOBBLER i tried that but when i reinstalled ubuntu and ask me where to install GRUB i tried to install it on /dev/hdb1 to do what the HOWTO explains saving c:\linux.bin | 08:10 |
| pyramid | wobbler, good reference..maybe this is what all those complaints were about | 08:11 |
| spooky1 | but then linux doesn boot | 08:11 |
| Treenaks | uh | 08:11 |
| burner | linux.bin? | 08:11 |
| Treenaks | this looks like you're booting linux from the Windows bootloader, not booting both from Grub | 08:11 |
| burner | wtf | 08:11 |
| burner | install grub to the mbr | 08:11 |
| burner | break out a linux boot disk... chroot to your ubuntu install | 08:11 |
| burner | run the grub-install command to get it on your mbr | 08:12 |

| Treenaks | that explains everything | 08:15 |
| Treenaks | you don't want to dual-boot with ntloader.. what if you decide to get rid of windows? | 08:16 |
| spooky1 | yes i understand what the menu.lst explains but why doesn boot my ubuntu installation then | 08:16 |
| wobbler | yeah the config file has good examples that work for most cases | 08:16 |
| Treenaks | spooky1: because you should install GRUBs mbr | 08:17 |
| burner | u installed grub to /dev/hdb | 08:17 |
| Treenaks | spooky1: (only necesary once) | 08:17 |

| zenwhen | Its weird | 09:16 |
| jmhodges | ok, anyone know a repo with gstreamer0.8-lame? | 09:16 |
| pyramid | zenwhen, that is weird...do you have the latest glib,glibc,pango,orbit,and all the gnomelibs | 09:16 |
| zenwhen | It randomly stopped working | 09:17 |
| zenwhen | It worked an hour ago | 09:17 |
| pyramid | zenwhen, that is weird | 09:17 |
| zenwhen | yeah | 09:17 |
| zenwhen | blowing it away and reinstalling didnt help | 09:17 |
| pyramid | zenwhen, how does gvim and scite ..do they save ok | 09:17 |
| zenwhen | Yes | 09:17 |
| zenwhen | Everything else saves ok | 09:18 |
| pyramid | zenwhen, very strange...i would try to recompile it | 09:18 |
| pyramid | after you make sure you have all the latest libraries | 09:18 |
| zenwhen | I dont want to make system wide sweeping changes because an app broke. | 09:19 |
| zenwhen | Ill just switch | 09:19 |
| zenwhen | To a different editor | 09:19 |
| zenwhen | If an app breaks its not worth using. | 09:19 |
| pyramid | zenwhen, well you must keep up to date on the libraries because for example glibc went to native posix threads instead of linux threads which are much much faster | 09:20 |
| zenwhen | That will just break more apps. | 09:20 |
| zenwhen | I nee my system to run. Not run faster. | 09:21 |
| zenwhen | need* | 09:21 |
| pyramid | yes it will break all your apps but you can recompile them | 09:21 |
| zenwhen | bah | 09:21 |
| zenwhen | not worth the hassle | 09:21 |
| pyramid | zenwhen, ok in that case just use gvim...it is nice and has a lot of plugins | 09:21 |

| pyramid | man this kdesdk3.3 is taking a long time to compile..i sure hope i get xml2pot out of it | 09:46 |
| opi | compiling anything with KDE as prefix takes up some time ;) | 09:48 |
| opi | once, for fun, my sysadmin put Gentoo on PII/300 and add some desktop stuff (xorg, kde;-) | 09:49 |
| opi | it took 3 days or so to compile ;p | 09:49 |
| pyramid | opi, yes it does indeed...but glom took me over 18 hours...it was the most difficult because i had to add headers to many files that would not compile....i don't know how the author ever compiled it | 09:49 |
| opi | pyramid: thing I hate it to fix typos in stable releases :( | 09:49 |
| joem | glom and its deps aren't stable releases | 09:50 |
| opi | pyramid: I understand that when I getting CVS version it can be broken | 09:50 |
| pyramid | opi, well i don't care for any stable releases...they are too old to be of any use....i am trying to create a useable desktop os that is free | 09:50 |
| pyramid | opi, well yes many cvs versions have problems compiling...but you can usually get many others working | 09:51 |
| opi | http://akson.sgh.waw.pl/~chopin/irc/fan1.txt :) | 09:52 |
| monkeyc-unb | it always interests me the differences in peoples philosihpies | 09:53 |
| monkeyc-unb | i want a useable desktop but i dont mind stable as much | 09:53 |
| pyramid | ok i finally got xml2pot...and now i got a good compile on digikam....that is my next project...to try and get cameras working for a useable desktop os | 09:54 |
| monkeyc-unb | but i dont want clutter and 10'000 apps. Perhaps thats why I like ubuu | 09:54 |
| monkeyc-unb | bah my typing | 09:54 |
| pyramid | monkeyc-unb, well so far i only have about 30gigs of binaries for the desktop os....it is a few apps but many people will need them | 09:55 |
| monkeyc-unb | very true | 09:55 |
| joem | only 30 gigs? | 09:55 |
| monkeyc-unb | i like the debian approach with the ability to select what you want on top of a base | 09:55 |
| toyowheelin | haha thats funny...Im generating an 8192bit dsa ssh keyset | 09:56 |
| joem | 30 gigs is huge for bunarys | 09:56 |
| pyramid | monkeyc-unb, for example even with openoffice you don't get a database like MS Access...so i got glom working somewhat | 09:56 |

| joem | ooh that was bad spelling | 09:56 |
| monkeyc-unb | mind you i have been running unstable before ubuntu | 09:56 |
| cef | toyowheelin: bit small, isn't it? | 09:56 |
| joem | binaries * | 09:56 |
| toyowheelin | lol my pc is chewing on it | 09:56 |
| monkeyc-unb | pyramid, i see what you mean and i can appreciate the work you guysss dedicate to it | 09:56 |
| pyramid | joem, not really joem when you consider that ooffice takes 100megs just by itself | 09:56 |
| monkeyc-unb | and it means choice for us on the front end not bloat like mandrake | 09:57 |
| pyramid | joem, and mozilla takes another 30megs | 09:57 |
| toyowheelin | cef I wanted to see what the MAX dsa key sise was | 09:57 |
| pyramid | joem, the binaries add up fast | 09:57 |
| opi | uh, compiling Mozilla && OO.org it's painful :/ | 09:57 |
| toyowheelin | *size | 09:57 |
| joem | pyramid, thats a bad example because average biary size is usually <10megs | 09:57 |
| joem | binary* damn | 09:57 |
| cef | toyowheelin: heh.. I remember generating 4096 bit rsa keys for auth use with ipsec, and breaking a lot of vendor implementations that wouldn't do more than 2048 (this was when the usual size was 512 bits) | 09:58 |
| pyramid | some of them are huge...and for example glom ..while it is not big it takes many many dependencies some of which are very big | 09:58 |
| joem | all the gnome libs are less then 200 megs | 09:58 |
| monkeyc-unb | its the package combinations that get me, the sheer number needed to get a working system. I take my hat off to anyone who rolls their own, i just dont have the patience | 09:58 |
| toyowheelin | lol cef ssh-keygen process is using 98% of my processor | 09:59 |
| joem | A full ubuntu desktop install asks for 1.8 gigs | 09:59 |
| joem | so 30 gigs is a bit too much | 09:59 |
| cef | toyowheelin: you sound like you need the flog command | 09:59 |
| pyramid | and scribus, evolution, qcad, mathcad, gphoto2, gtkcam, gtk-efax. and so on...it all adds up fast | 09:59 |
| toyowheelin | flog? | 09:59 |
| monkeyc-unb | joem but what about when people want KDE not gnome or koffice etc.. i can see how it adds up | 09:59 |
| joem | to 30 gigs? | 10:00 |
| joem | gnome and kde combined would be under a gig | 10:00 |
| monkeyc-unb | but thats just one example. | 10:00 |
| joem | but those would be the biggest examples, and they are 1/30th of the total | 10:00 |
| cef | toyowheelin: http://linux.about.com/od/funnymanpages/a/funman_flog.htm | 10:01 |
| pyramid | and that is just a few...that doesn't count..knoda,krita,gaim,gnome-meeting,ogre,blender,povray,python,perl,ruby, and so on and so on | 10:01 |
| monkeyc-unb | consider as windows network alone - my sources drive with all the installs we use or support is 50gb in size. Admittedly you are talking several thousand users but the point is the same | 10:01 |
| pyramid | but when you are building a desktop...you must take on MS and have a compeitive system...and MS has lots and lots of programmers writing all the desktop apps | 10:02 |
| monkeyc-unb | then again maybe us windows admins are used to bloat :) | 10:02 |
| joem | still, 30 gigs.. | 10:02 |
| joem | all of those apps come on one suse dvd for example | 10:02 |
| joem | what is that 4.9 gigs or something | 10:02 |
| pyramid | it adds to 30 gigs of executables very very quickly | 10:02 |
| monkeyc-unb | umm not all the apps in the 30gig | 10:02 |
| monkeyc-unb | thats all the apps suse ship, which is their choice | 10:03 |
| joem | what are you counting in the 30 gigs? | 10:03 |
| joem | anything you have mentioned is on that dvd | 10:03 |
| joem | and I doubt you have another 20 something gigs worth of random stuff installed | 10:03 |
| monkeyc-unb | the difference is between suse and debian - the package management means an app has to be in the repository which means a large repository unlike RPMS which are all over the place | 10:03 |
| sabdfl | monkeyc-unb: you can install ubuntu in a minimalist fashion (base only) then add the bits you want too | 10:03 |
| joem | unless it is a bunch of games like unreal or something | 10:04 |
| pyramid | well yes..i did not even mention kiso , kopete, and many utilities | 10:04 |
| monkeyc-unb | diff is apt works pretty much every time whereas RPM's are flaky, its what you chose i suppose | 10:04 |
| pyramid | and xbox-iso-manager | 10:04 |
| toyowheelin | lol no I dont need flog...I just need to let it crunch numbers | 10:04 |
| sabdfl | just type "custom" at the CD boot prompt | 10:04 |
| sabdfl | and you'll end up with kernel, shell, network tools, diagnostics etc. | 10:04 |
| monkeyc-unb | sabdfl, i know :) persoanally i think the size is fine to be honest | 10:04 |
| sabdfl | ok | 10:04 |
| monkeyc-unb | i rung ubuntu on a 6gb hdd which is never going to fill, my winxp box meanwhile has a 15gb c part which is 60% full, and i can do almost everything on ubuntu i do on it | 10:05 |
| pyramid | and i did not mention any of the several dvd players | 10:05 |
| joem | you know all of these apps are around a few megs | 10:06 |
| pyramid | or music players or sound synthesizers or speech recognition systems | 10:06 |
| joem | nothing close to adding up to 30 gigs | 10:06 |
| monkeyc-unb | personally coming from the windows world as i do i find linux apps small | 10:06 |
| joem | for binarys | 10:06 |
| toyowheelin | I think 32768bit is the highest you can go | 10:06 |
| monkeyc-unb | im used to 10-15mb downloads in windows for pretty much anything now, linux apps dont normally approach that with some exceptions | 10:06 |
| pyramid | joem, just remember that MS has thousands of programmers around the globe constructing a desktop with Nero,isobuster,all kinds of stuff and Linux must be competitive..to be a desktop os | 10:07 |
| cef | toyowheelin: wonder how many implementations allow that size.. *grin* | 10:07 |
| joem | I don't understand what that has to do with a desktop install using 30 gigs worth of binaries | 10:07 |
| monkeyc-unb | pyramid, would i be wrong in thinking a large part of apps management is the many libraries that need to be there as well? | 10:07 |
| toyowheelin | ssh | 10:07 |
| toyowheelin | hehe | 10:07 |
| pyramid | it adds up fast...and i did not even mention any of the many p2p apps | 10:07 |

| monkeyc-unb | joem ahh no he said so far he had 30gigs of binaries for the desktop not that he needed 30gigs :) | 10:09 |
| pyramid | monkeyc-unb, no but people can acquire these things if they choose to do so with the MS desktop system | 10:09 |
| monkeyc-unb | pyramid, true they can. | 10:09 |
| pyramid | monkeyc-unb, that is why MS has a monopoly on desktops | 10:09 |

| paueas | well.. its just haning | 10:57 |
| Treenaks | paueas: "hanging"? where? | 10:57 |
| paueas | right at the ubuntu splash screen just before you would expect things to start happening | 10:57 |

| sabdfl | hey guys, how d I write a shell script that tests if it was passed an argument? | 11:07 |
| paueas | subterrific, ok so i did that.. now im trying to login again.. | 11:08 |
| paueas | or kill x first so it stops this | 11:08 |
| deepnarc | sabdfl, "if [[ "$1" ] ] ; then" should work | 11:08 |
| sabdfl | deepnarc: thanks | 11:08 |
| subterrific | paueas: ctrl-alt-backspace will kill X | 11:08 |
| deepnarc | sabdfl, in a bash script (stick a '!' after the first '[[' if you want to test it was not set) | 11:09 |
| paueas | yeah.. done.. ok so this is still not doing anything | 11:09 |
| deepnarc | np | 11:09 |
| paueas | maybe i should try the failsafe gnome.. | 11:09 |
| sabdfl | deepnarc: erm, ok, so what would the if statement look like if i want it NOT to have an argument? | 11:09 |
| paueas | so much for failsafe | 11:10 |
| sabdfl | i SO need to fund a python shell | 11:10 |
| sabdfl | "shnake" | 11:10 |
| deepnarc | sabdfl, "if [[ ! "$!" ] ] ; then" , also you still need the other 'else' and final enclosing 'fi' statements for the if clause | 11:11 |
| sabdfl | thanks deepnarc | 11:11 |
| daniels | sabdfl: just the interpreter with some neatly-defined functions? | 11:11 |
| daniels | sabdfl: although cd('~/music') might be a little hard to get used to ;) | 11:11 |

| daniels | sabdfl: if [ -z "$1" ] ; then echo argument yay; fi | 11:17 |
| sabdfl | so -z is the same as !? | 11:17 |
| daniels | sabdfl: -z is "string is zero-length" | 11:20 |

| DaNeon | i did that... and then... i can't open anything in the mounted partition | 12:44 |

| smeggy | Cool thanks | 12:56 |
| nate | which is an issue in pilot-xfer that has been known for ages | 12:56 |
| hazmat | hmm.. okay.. this is more hid stuff like plugging in keyboard/mice vs. mass storage | 12:57 |
| nate | the answer is to exclude the jpeg libraries, but it's not documented how to set the exclude file list in gpilotd | 12:57 |
| nate | this is one of those 'really needs to be in a first-time user HOWTO' issues | 12:57 |
| nate | oh, also I manually did a modprobe visor before syncing the first time | 12:57 |
| nate | not sure if I'll need to put that into /etc/modules or not | 12:58 |

| sri | ioslipstream: hehe | 06:41 |
| atomsk | does anyone know how to mount a usb mass storage device? It gets detected when I plug it but I have no idea how to find which filesystem it uses :/ | 06:41 |
| linux_mafia | supported NTFS natively? what does that mean? | 06:41 |
| Exasparilla | TdC_VgA: that doesn't make any sense. they're totally different, and I've never heard that | 06:42 |
| Exasparilla | unless NTFS is also an acronym for something else | 06:42 |
| gravies_ | atomsk: try fdisk /dev/sda | 06:42 |
| TdC_VgA | yeah it didnt make any sense to me either.. it was on some FAQ about mounting ntfs a friend found. | 06:42 |

| linux_mafia | TdC_VgA, get a prog called rfsgui, to access reiser parts from win | 06:54 |
| TdC_VgA | is there any reason openoffice is being downloaded/updated after installing warty? has there been a maintence release or something? | 06:55 |

| TheMonoTone | so no big deal | 08:44 |
| linux_mafia | jgeorgeson, ntp enabled by default i think, i cant remember telling it to use it, rcconf does not include ntpdate, i suppose you would have to use update-rc.d to turn it off, but i hate cli, if i dont have to use it | 08:44 |

| plovs | |trey|, kaplanfx, burning works ok, they must have patched the kernel | 11:02 |
| steveod | hiro, not sure what is going on, do you get sound through one and not the other? | 11:03 |
| |trey| | plovs: they better not have :/ | 11:03 |

| crimsun | Telep: indeed. | 11:08 |
| pyramid | hmmm....www.linuxprinting.org is very interesting | 11:08 |
| hazmat | ie. if they have a openfirmware bios | 11:09 |
| Telep | crimsun: for some reason the fonts esp. in the menu are really tiny in Audacity. Any idea how to correct this? | 11:09 |
| pyramid | but anyway the epson mfc cx5400 seems to work satisfactoy with the gimp-print driver | 11:09 |

| pyramid | staticactivity, and the judges here in the US have upheld all Eula restrictions...although the EFF is appealing | 11:19 |
| kaplanfx | so ubuntu uses debian kernel, debian installer, and debian packages (albiet in a custom repository), so the basic advantage is that it standardizes packages? | 11:19 |

| pyramid | staticactivity, well becasue MS is a corporation with greedy stockholders who want lots and lots of money every year | 11:20 |
| kaplanfx | Suit: cd-rw might work as well | 11:20 |
| steveod | cdrecord -v -data dev=x,x,x speed=x *.iso | 11:20 |
| Suit | kaplanfx: yeah that one too | 11:20 |
| staticactivity | pyramid, yeah thats so true | 11:20 |

| LinuxJones | atomon, correct | 11:25 |
| atomon | darksatanic, is it easy to switch to xorg from xfree? | 11:25 |
| pyramid | center, no don't use the cups driver...at least it does not work for me...but use gimp-print driver with cups support | 11:25 |
| steveod | will, you can remove mdadm and mdadm-raid from the startup, at least i did | 11:25 |
| darksatanic | atomon: No idea. Probably not. | 11:25 |
| will | stevod: in the bootup, it gives me a 1-2 min delay! | 11:25 |
| atomon | anyone else know? | 11:25 |
| darksatanic | I've only had Ubuntu on here for 24 hours, | 11:25 |

| atomon | lol@darksatanic | 11:26 |
| pyramid | center, and for the scanner use usb 0x4b8 0x0808...that worked for me with libusb | 11:26 |
| steveod | will, in the kernel detection? that might be an issue with acpi or something | 11:26 |
| darksatanic | I suspect that it's pretty wasy if you just build X.org from source, and install over the top of your XFree86 packages, | 11:26 |
| t35t0r | if apt-get uninstalls you might be able to get rid of xfree | 11:26 |
| darksatanic | but that *will* break the packaging system... | 11:26 |
| atomon | it's not worth it | 11:26 |
| atomon | for transparency | 11:26 |
| Micksa | t35t0r: sure does, "apt-get remove" I think. be careful though, it removes dependant packages, and you could end up removing half your installation :) | 11:26 |
| steveod | will: you can go into r5.d and see what is starting up | 11:26 |

| will | of course | 11:34 |
| === Micksa makes a note to check out aptitude some time | ||
| Exasparilla | I know of deb-orphan. But aptitude does it nicely | 11:34 |
| will | steveod: u know what the delay is instantly after the bootloader? | 11:34 |
| steveod | will: so if you don't know what it is i usually read the file in /etc/init.d/ that it is linked to | 11:34 |

| linux_mafia | Exasparilla, ok, sweet, you taught me summin, i thought only deb-orphan kept track of that | 11:34 |
| steveod | will: then i am not sure that will help, it might be something to do with acpi or autodetect | 11:34 |
| Exasparilla | aptitude remembers if something was explicitly installed or installed as a dependency. If it wasn't explicitly installed and nothing needs it, POOF! No more package. | 11:35 |
| plovs | toyowheelin, vfat! | 11:35 |
| toyowheelin | :) | 11:35 |
| steveod | will: maybe you can look at sending some arguments to the kernel via grub | 11:35 |
| toyowheelin | oops | 11:35 |
| will | stevod: this is another delay | 11:35 |
| will | just after grub | 11:35 |
| toyowheelin | thanks plovs | 11:35 |

| pitti | toyowheelin: I'm the guy responsible for this stuff | 11:37 |
| toyowheelin | oh lol | 11:37 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: you tried to manually mount the usb device? | 11:37 |
| toyowheelin | yeah mine dont auto mount | 11:37 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: manually mounting as above will not work | 11:37 |
| toyowheelin | yeah its mounted now | 11:37 |
| jamesdorn | Anyone know how to find out the dev path for the CD-RW drives in OS X (for the use of cdrecord) | 11:37 |
| jamesdorn | ? | 11:37 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: at least, try 'vfat' instead of 'fat' | 11:38 |
| toyowheelin | mounting with vfat works | 11:38 |
| jamesdorn | I cannot burn the Mac image of ubuntu with the standard tools | 11:38 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: but actually 'pmount /dev/sda1' should work in any case (as user) | 11:38 |
| ike | have problems with intel ethernet card. cannot connect to my network. wireless is working but not my ethernet card | 11:38 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: you should not do these things as root | 11:38 |
| toyowheelin | never heard of pmount | 11:38 |
| subterrific | jamesdorn: Disk Utility will burn the iso | 11:38 |
| TdC_VgA | ok, now i just cant seem to find the headers for 2.6.8-2-386 any suggestions? | 11:38 |
| jamesdorn | subterrific: not on my machine | 11:38 |
| toyowheelin | mounting is done as root I thought | 11:39 |

| subterrific | heheh, no | 11:39 |
| jamesdorn | subterrific: Disk Utility crashes repeatedly | 11:39 |
| jamesdorn | on three of my macs | 11:39 |
| subterrific | iso's can't be buggy. Disk Utility can and is | 11:39 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: can you please unmount and unplug your stick, plug it back in and watch in the device manager what happens? | 11:39 |
| toyowheelin | well here I will umount it and try pmount as user | 11:39 |
| toyowheelin | umm ok | 11:39 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: actually you should not even need to know about pmount; it should be invoked automatically | 11:40 |
| jamesdorn | subterrific: I cannot seem to burn it. And I burn iso's all the time | 11:40 |
| jamesdorn | subterrific: if the iso is mounted, Disk Utility doesnt startup correctly | 11:40 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: so can you pleas open the device manager, and then plug in the device? | 11:40 |
| jamesdorn | subterrific: If I select the iso from the list in the 'burn image' option... it simply crashes | 11:40 |
| subterrific | jamesdorn: well you shouldn't mount the iso | 11:40 |
| toyowheelin | where is the device manager | 11:40 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: oops, apt-get install hal-device-manager | 11:40 |
| toyowheelin | ok :) | 11:41 |
| subterrific | jamesdorn: did you check the md5sum of the iso to make sure you downloaded it correctly? | 11:41 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: this will be instaleld automatically on new installations | 11:41 |
| staticactivity | i'm getting this error when tryin to update firefox "data: Downloading fix (Read only) | 11:41 |
| staticactivity | i did the update as root though | 11:41 |
| jamesdorn | subterrific: if I run 'md5 <insert image name here>' it doesnt return any responce | 11:41 |
| jamesdorn | subterrific: just freezes the process | 11:42 |
| plovs | pitti, why does hal-device-manager dissapear all the time I installed three times already and i never removed it | 11:42 |
| staticactivity | do i need to change some permissions? | 11:42 |
| toyowheelin | do I need to start the hal-device-manager as root or as user | 11:42 |
| pitti | plovs: three times? | 11:42 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: user | 11:42 |
| pitti | plovs: it should have only been vanished when upgrading to the hal 0.2.98 package | 11:42 |
| subterrific | jamesdorn: let it sit there for a second, it will take a little while to md5 the iso | 11:42 |
| pitti | plovs: the deviec manager now has its own package | 11:42 |
| pitti | plovs: since it is not really required to run hal, its only a debugging tool | 11:43 |
| toyowheelin | pitti, it seed the device just fine | 11:43 |
| toyowheelin | *sees | 11:43 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: does it have a Volume child node? | 11:43 |
| === jamesdorn runs md5 and wait | ||
| toyowheelin | a what? | 11:43 |
| plovs | pitti, with install, omce when we where debugging and today, but maybe i mix up compuetrs | 11:43 |
| toyowheelin | lol | 11:43 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: there should be the actual device, and below it a node called "Volume" | 11:44 |

| jamesdorn | ok | 11:44 |
| TdC_VgA | heh there's 2.6.8.1-3, but of course not 2.6.8.1-2 hopefully these will work | 11:44 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: "Volume" means the partition on the device | 11:44 |
| toyowheelin | pitti, I dont see a "volume" in the list | 11:44 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: that's baaaaad | 11:44 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: which kernel do you use? | 11:45 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: dpkg -l linux-image* | 11:45 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: the earlier 2.6.8.1 kernels had some problems with USB | 11:45 |
| jamesdorn | subterrific: Yes, the md5sum's match | 11:45 |
| toyowheelin | linux-image-2.6.8.1 2.6.8.1-6 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8.1 on x86_64. | 11:45 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: oh, amd64. | 11:46 |
| toyowheelin | yeah | 11:46 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: seems as if the partitions are not properly detected | 11:47 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: but /dev/sda1 exists and you can mount it manually? | 11:47 |
| Sleeper | what makes ubuntu so good? can someone explain? | 11:47 |
| toyowheelin | pitti, when I mount the device manually it sees my data just fine | 11:47 |
| steveod | will; try adding raid=noautodetect to your kernel line in your grub config | 11:47 |

| pitti | toyowheelin: while the device is plugged in: 'dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.out' | 11:48 |
| jgeorgeson | so why have gcc 3.3 AND 3.4 installed? | 11:48 |

| pitti | toyowheelin: thanks! I will take a look at them tomorrow, I'm pretty tired and will go to bed now | 11:48 |
| pitti | toyowheelin: does it work with other usb devices? | 11:49 |
| Sleeper | can someone explain to me the greatness of ubuntu? | 11:49 |
| TdC_VgA | easiest way to update from linux-image-2.6.8.1-2-386 to 2.6.8.1-3-686? | 11:49 |
| pitti | TdC_VgA: just install linux-image-686 | 11:49 |
| pitti | TdC_VgA: this will always depend on the most recent kernel package | 11:49 |
| toyowheelin | I dont know | 11:49 |
| toyowheelin | my usb drive is all I have atm | 11:50 |
| plovs | Sleeper, it is up-to-date Debian with gnome 2.8 | 11:50 |
| pitti | TdC_VgA: so you automatically get the newest kernels on pckage upgrade | 11:50 |
| TdC_VgA | pitti: just check it to install in Synaptic? | 11:50 |
| pitti | TdC_VgA: of course you have to reboot after installing a new kernel package | 11:50 |
| Sleeper | plovs oh sweet.. | 11:50 |
| pitti | TdC_VgA: yes, should work | 11:50 |
