| LinuxJones | overflow, nope | 12:01 |
| Phr0stByte | I tried to upgrade a bunch of packages - system wont take the root passwoed anymore - how can I fix that? | 12:01 |
| jamesdorn | subterrific: same exact thing with a brand new powerbook out of the box | 12:01 |
| overflow | pyramid: yes I have it | 12:01 |
| jamesdorn | Ether DU is messed up, or the iso's have problems | 12:01 |

| jamesdorn | I have no way of burning it... unless I burn it with a PC | 12:02 |

| subterrific | jamesdorn: other mac users are burning it fine. me for example | 12:03 |
| jamesdorn | subterrific: and the Ubuntu team would have posted a notice | 12:03 |

| occy | ugh, damnit, I just filled out a report in bugzilla and it ate it. | 12:13 |
| occy | :( | 12:13 |
| occy | craptacular | 12:13 |
| hiro | the kernel detects it, but ALSA doesn't | 12:13 |
| pyramid | hiro, the only thing i know is that if you buy Apple hardware you might as well buy Apple software and OS....or else don't buy any of it. | 12:13 |
| soleblaze | hey, can you install Ubuntu as a diskless? (runnning root/file systems from nfs) | 12:14 |
| plovs | tseng, should be possible | 12:14 |
| hiro | pyramid: not really...i am running OSX for most stuff, but want to do linux development too | 12:14 |
| plovs | tseng, debian or ubuntu | 12:14 |
| pyramid | hiro, well if you have paid for OS X..i believe Apple already supports linux with fink | 12:14 |
| tseng | plovs: just realized the bigger problem. dont have a serial cable around =/ | 12:15 |
| pyramid | hiro, at least that is what i heard. | 12:15 |
| hiro | pyramid, fink only helps you install unix packaged on OSX, it has nothing to do with linux per se | 12:15 |
| plovs | tseng, do you have knoppix? | 12:16 |
| pyramid | hiro....well that is the point...most Linux packages run on FreeBSD and other Unix | 12:16 |
| plovs | tseng, debootstrap from knoppix-ssh | 12:16 |
| pyramid | hiro, i heard that Apple uses a BSD kernel...but it is only hearsay | 12:16 |
| tseng | plovs: knoppix-ssh? | 12:17 |
| hiro | pyramid: true, however it's quite a pain to se everything up the way i want it...i develop on mono and gtk#, which are second-class citizens on OSX | 12:17 |
| tseng | ill just hook up a crt now | 12:17 |
| plovs | tseng, http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/Headless%20Knoppix | 12:17 |
| tseng | hm | 12:17 |
| pyramid | hiro, you mean you can't just get the gentoo mono package and compile it for your apple | 12:18 |
| hiro | anyway, another question for the crowd: what is the preferred way to install the xvid codec on ubuntu? | 12:18 |
| hiro | pyramid: nope, it's not that easy | 12:18 |
| linux_mafia | tseng, good sleep voltron? | 12:18 |

| hiro | brb | 12:33 |
| subterrific | Phr0stByte: there shouldn't be a root password | 12:33 |
| hazmat | or it will switch over on you | 12:33 |
| pyramid | plovs, i think gentoo's problem is that they try to oversimplify everything | 12:33 |
| subterrific | Phr0stByte: you should use sudo with your password | 12:33 |
| Phr0stByte | subterrific: I meant things like Synaptic and root term | 12:33 |
| pyramid | plovs, but it really ticks me off that they don't fully document catalyst | 12:34 |
| hazmat | Phr0stByte, if you forget your password, you should be able to switch to a single user run mode | 12:34 |

| Phr0stByte | thats my point | 12:36 |

| pyramid | plovs, i think it is terrible that gentoo does not document catalyst properly so people can create competition distros for gentoo | 12:37 |
| plovs | pyramid, besides if you want to muck with something like catalist you have to know perl, "so use the source,luke" | 12:37 |

| pyramid | hazmat, anaconda is redhat stuff...they never play fair with linux because they are into commercial stuff | 12:38 |

| hazmat | Phr0stByte, so your problem is confined soley to the auth screen for synaptic? | 12:51 |
| hazmat | when launched from the gnome menu? | 12:51 |
| hazmat | Phr0stByte, what about sudo synaptic ? or sudo bash ; synaptic ? | 12:51 |
| Phr0stByte | hazmat: Stuff in X that require pass | 12:51 |
| Phr0stByte | sudo in term always works | 12:51 |

| jamesdorn | I am trying to write an image on a blank disk with cdrecord | 12:59 |

| jamesdorn | well crap | 12:59 |
| jamesdorn | your write | 12:59 |
| robertj_ | pyramid: why not? | 12:59 |
| Zero-G | jamesdorn: stick a non-blank CD in. hope it gets mounted automatically, type mount, note /dev/ location of CD, stick in blank cd | 12:59 |
| pyramid | robertj, because the Hurd really is not Unix....it is a different philosophical approach with translators | 01:00 |
| jamesdorn | you just helped me | 01:00 |
| jamesdorn | thanks | 01:00 |
| subterrific | pyramid: wait, how exactly can microsoft destroy linux? because linux isn't really unix either | 01:00 |

| pyramid | subterrific, if you take posix threads out of linux...all you have left is unix...and yes MS can destroy it because they have many Unix approach patents to destroy it with | 01:01 |
| jamesdorn | still says no matching devices for /dev/disk2s0 | 01:01 |
| mjr | pyramid, good, 'cause I'm interested in using Hurd once I can run Gnome on and get sound out of it ;) | 01:01 |

| Keybuk | I'd've thought the opposite would be true; Linux has less to fear because being more UNIX-like there's more chance of smacking down any patent because it'd apply to a dozen other companies with similar code ... whereas Hurd is a little more exciting and on the edge, and may infringe as-yet-undiscovered patents companies had lurking in their drawers | 01:05 |

| asdf_46 | How are the packages avalable for ubuntu picked? Is it like user linux where there is a set list, or just what is currently avalible? | 01:49 |
| jgeorgeson | Keybuk: do you know how to enable song title info from streams in rhythmbox? | 01:50 |
| LinuxJones | asdf_46, you can do a base install then add whatever apps you like | 01:50 |
| asdf_46 | LinuxJones, I mean what is avalible in the repository. | 01:50 |
| jason__ | thanks mp3 support works now | 01:51 |
| menator | anyone know if the kernel source is somewhere on the cd, or do I have to download it from somewhere. I need to compile madwifi so I can connect to my net. | 01:51 |
| Keybuk | jgeorgeson: not off-hand; I've got gstreamer0.8-plugins and its dependencies installed and it seems to work fine | 01:51 |
| jgeorgeson | menator: it's called linux-source, I believe | 01:51 |
| LinuxJones | asdf_46, there are over 13,000 packages acailable if you include universe repo | 01:52 |
| LinuxJones | err available | 01:52 |
| menator | jgeorgeson: thnx | 01:52 |
| asdf_46 | LinuxJones, Do I have to add that repository seperatly? I don't remeber seeing that many in synaptic. | 01:53 |
| jensens | ubuntu in austrian-media (popular newpaper): http://derstandard.at/?url=/?id=1803391 (may it isnt new for you) | 01:53 |
| jgeorgeson | Keybuk: is gstreamer-plugins a meta package? `dpkg -l gstreamer*` shows I'm only missing audiosink, colorpsace, plugins, and videosink | 01:53 |
| LinuxJones | asdf_46, yes if you go settings >> repositories you can check the line that has main restricted universe you will be fine | 01:54 |
| asdf_46 | LinuxJones, Found a link and answred my own question, thanks for the help | 01:54 |
| asdf_46 | thank | 01:54 |
| LinuxJones | np | 01:54 |

| jgeorgeson | I would guess libdvdcss from debian-marillat, unless it's included in universe | 02:10 |
| LinuxJones | tonybaloney, http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/FrequentlyAskedQuestions see # 5 | 02:10 |
| tseng | dvdcss from marillat and totem-xine | 02:11 |

| |trey| | Keybuk: umm, the redhat tools assume your a moron, much like most config tools... | 02:20 |
| Serenity^ | linuxconf had a nasty habit of mangling things iirc | 02:20 |
| jensens | WW, thx | 02:20 |
| asdf_46 | I liked yast at first, but everytime I do something it does this giant system check or something that takes forever. | 02:20 |
| |trey| | They don't even let you do much, but still about as much as YaST lets you do, without being so annoying... | 02:20 |
| micX | Serenity^, you got that right. linuxconf is a POS. | 02:20 |

| Keybuk | |trey|: that's not been my experience with them, sadly | 02:21 |

| micX | asdf_46, get them a windows box. they deserve it. :) | 02:22 |

| |trey| | Serenity^: Fedora and Mandrake don't make you work with RPM's anymore... | 02:24 |
| menator | anyone here use madwifi or ndiswrapper? | 02:24 |
| |trey| | DPKG is pretty moronic too if you work with it alone... | 02:24 |
| Keybuk | jgeorgeson: it should probably be easier to uninstall postfix than it currently is. otherwise you're in a fairly "techie" standpoint (personally, I have a lot of stuff installed on my laptop which I don't start until I want it) and once you're that techie the command line suffices | 02:24 |
| micX | |trey|, sure, but it's still way better than rpm. | 02:24 |
| Keybuk | from the pov of a user who isn't a techie, they shouldn't care whether things are installed and need to be started manually -- they should just install what they want and remove what they don't want | 02:25 |
| |trey| | joem: just out of curiosity, you a dev or an op here? | 02:25 |
| Serenity^ | heh, I use arch and there's not even a dpkg like tool, nor anything like the slack pkgtool even, heh | 02:25 |
| |trey| | micX: they are about equal actually, its just RPM gets a worse wrap... | 02:25 |
| jgeorgeson | Keybuk: yeah, I'm just spoiled on chkconfig and service (which you probably already guessed) | 02:25 |
| |trey| | joem: if not... please don't tell me what to do, theres a good chap | 02:26 |
| micX | |trey|, in use, maybe because of RH, rpm is worse. | 02:26 |

| LinuxJones | jgeorgeson, a chkconfig .deb is available for download from a debian repo | 02:26 |

| Keybuk | pyramid: "pristine source" | 02:54 |
| |trey| | pyramid: I didn't say no one liked it, I said no one here cares :/ | 02:55 |
| pyramid | Keybuk, yes but if the tarball needs all those patches every time...why don't they just make a clean tarball | 02:55 |
| rev_trance | yeah, if there was a donations link on the front page, i'd donate. | 02:55 |
| |trey| | pyramid: mainly because its off topic... | 02:55 |
| LinuxJones | rev_trance, it's a first for an OSS project that I know of :D | 02:55 |
| Keybuk | pyramid: it means you can download the tarball from elsewhere if the ftp site's down, means you can pick & choose which patches you actually want and also gets around some software's "modifications only distributable as patches" clauses | 02:55 |

| rev_trance | i'd like to put certain app launchers on the panel for all users (like my dialup button) what would be the easiest way to do so? | 02:59 |
| pyramid | Keybuk, well my point is why are all those patches necessary for each tarball...sometimes over a hundred patches are applied to just one tarball...what are they doing and why doesn't the tarball work as it is supposed to. | 03:00 |
| danc3 | hello all, just booted Ubuntu for the first time, and I like it (I'm not a newcomer to Linux). One question: during the install, it never asked me to set the root password, and now how can I "su" to root in a terminal? Is there a default root password? | 03:00 |

| |trey| | At least Gentoo has some value added features! | 03:02 |
| menator | anyone in here use an atheros based wireless card? | 03:02 |
| Keybuk | pyramid: one common example would be that the tarball came from (e.g.) Solaris originally, and installs things like architecture dependant and independant files in different places to Linux standard; the patch would modify the tarball to place things in the right place | 03:02 |
| Keybuk | that's the kind of patch that's hard to get upstream if upstream use Solaris | 03:02 |
| pyramid | Keybuk, well that makes sense. | 03:02 |
| Keybuk | another patch could fix a bug, it could take upstream weeks or months to actually include it, but you need it fixed today | 03:03 |
| Keybuk | hell, sometimes upstream disagree it's even a bug in the first place and you diverge for ever (Debian's libtool packages include a patch that upstream have refused, for example) | 03:04 |

| TdC_VgA | is that correct setting for /etc/network/interfaces? | 03:29 |
| jgeorgeson | digerati_: never used gentoo. ubuntu is based on debian, only it is much nicer | 03:30 |
| jgeorgeson | digerati_: by nicer, i mean there is much less maunal configuration to do | 03:30 |
| digerati_ | jgeorgeson I have only seen Ubuntu with Gnome as the WM. Is it possible to use *box? | 03:30 |
| jgeorgeson | digerati_: probably, I see fluxbox listed | 03:32 |

| digerati_ | jgeorgeson - D'you know how easy it would be to get my dlink card working? | 03:32 |
| jgeorgeson | WW: if you're email is listed in the CC list box, you might be able to remove yourself by selecting your email from that list, and checking the Remove checkbox | 03:33 |
| digerati_ | jgeorgeson - Would I still have to build the acx100 drivers (or is there native support)? | 03:33 |
| jgeorgeson | digerati_: no idea. you could check on #debian-boot to see if the installer supports that NIC | 03:34 |
| WW | jgeorgeson: I'm not in the cc list. It appears that it always sends email to the reporter. | 03:34 |
| LinuxJones | digerati_, that module is available | 03:34 |

| Darknite | question even | 04:28 |
| Darknite | how do you enable sshd on ubuntu | 04:28 |
| noda | sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 04:28 |
| Darknite | thanks noda | 04:29 |
| zephyr | well this is a bitch.. i wanna rip music for my portable mp3 player.. ogg aint gonna work..hehe | 04:29 |
| noda | np | 04:29 |
| joem | zephyr, find an rpm and usa alien | 04:29 |
| Darknite | zephyr i bet if you look at normal debian sources you might find something to help you | 04:29 |

| TheMonoTone | nautilus samba browsing is slow | 04:30 |
| TheMonoTone | is there another good app for smb browsing? | 04:30 |
| noda | TheMonoTone: But copying files is *fast* :) | 04:30 |
| Darknite | lol | 04:30 |
| noda | TheMonoTone: gnome-terminal, using smbmount :) | 04:30 |
| TheMonoTone | noda, sounds good to me | 04:30 |
| noda | copying files with Nautilus is way faster than with Windows :) | 04:30 |
| noda | Hrm. It's not slow for me... | 04:31 |
| Darknite | btw I am a linux unix admin and a long time gentoo and redhat user. I have to tell you that this is one awesome distro. I just installed it on my kids computer | 04:31 |
| noda | I just connected to my other computer using Samba, and it's lightning fast. Might as well be the same computer | 04:31 |
| TheMonoTone | which of the little samba utils lets you "view" the shares on a computer | 04:32 |
| TheMonoTone | its not net is it? | 04:32 |
| noda | Darknite: I know eh? :) It's the distro to end all distros | 04:32 |
| absurdhero | TheMonoTone: nautilus :p | 04:32 |
| Darknite | Sweet easy install | 04:32 |
| noda | TheMonoTone: Computer -> Network -> Windows Network -> [computer] | 04:32 |
| Darknite | I had a 11 yo do it | 04:32 |
| TheMonoTone | absurdhero, nautilus just sits there | 04:32 |
| noda | Erm, with the workgroup in there too, of course | 04:32 |
| absurdhero | well thats not good | 04:32 |
| TheMonoTone | it chugs away | 04:32 |
| TheMonoTone | or it'll fine my workgroup | 04:32 |
| TheMonoTone | but when I try to browse it | 04:33 |
| TheMonoTone | nothing | 04:33 |
| TheMonoTone | it gives me some error | 04:33 |
| noda | TheMonoTone: Other way is Ctrl-L -> smb://[IP address] | 04:33 |
| noda | TheMonoTone: What's the error? | 04:33 |
| TheMonoTone | I'll tell you in a couple of minutes | 04:33 |
| TheMonoTone | waiting for nautilus to load the windows network | 04:33 |
| TheMonoTone | then the workgroup | 04:33 |
| TheMonoTone | then I'll know again :-) | 04:33 |
| TheMonoTone | oh wait! | 04:33 |
| TheMonoTone | it works now | 04:33 |
| noda | I gotta say, Ubuntu is the first distro to get samba *right* for me. I haven't had any problems with it at all :) | 04:33 |
| TheMonoTone | I don't get it, but alright :-) | 04:34 |
| Darknite | one more thing how do I enable the ntp client | 04:34 |
| noda | Darknite: sudo apt-get install ntpdate (I think) | 04:34 |

| noda | Oh. Nope :) | 04:34 |
| TheMonoTone | oh shite! this is sweet now that it works | 04:34 |
| TheMonoTone | a little slow though | 04:34 |
| Darknite | ok and I assume that it uses the redhat style scripts to make them start at boot | 04:35 |
| noda | Darknite: Red Hat didn't invent init scripts... | 04:35 |
| TheMonoTone | that was a at&t thing I believe | 04:35 |
| noda | Darknite: Anyway, ntpdate runs at boot time to synchronize your clock. I dunno what that thing in "Time and date settings" is for | 04:36 |
| noda | 'cuz it doesn't do anything... | 04:36 |
| Darknite | noda you are correct about redhat not inventing init scripts | 04:36 |
| TheMonoTone | gnome needs to implement a "close all" if they want nautilus to work in spacial mode like this | 04:37 |
| Darknite | still difrent than rc-update add <service> default | 04:37 |
| Darknite | in gentoo | 04:37 |
| TheMonoTone | Darknite, whatever man, this distro blows anything else out of the water for me personally | 04:37 |
| noda | TheMonoTone: Ctrl-Shift-W | 04:38 |
| TheMonoTone | thanks noda, your a helpful fellow :-) | 04:38 |
| noda | TheMonoTone: Also, hold down shift while double-clicking something to hide the current window while opening the new one | 04:38 |
| Darknite | I agree but like I said I have been using gentoo for almost 4 years now | 04:38 |
| noda | TheMonoTone: Ctrl-Shift-W actually doesn't close the *current* window... just all the ones underneath | 04:38 |

| TheMonoTone | cool | 04:38 |
| TheMonoTone | works for me | 04:38 |
| noda | Darknite: In Debian (and Ubuntu I assume) you have to use update-rc.d. It has a funky syntax. | 04:38 |
| joem | middle mouse button will close the previous window when opening a new one | 04:38 |
| Darknite | thanks noda | 04:39 |
| joem | 1 or 2 clicks depending on the behavior settings | 04:39 |
| jgeorgeson | TheMonoTone, noda: when I try to browse another machine on my lan (smb://) it says i don't have permission | 04:39 |
| noda | jgeorgeson: That means you don't have permission :) | 04:39 |
| jgeorgeson | odd since i already manually mounted a share from the command line | 04:39 |
| noda | jgeorgeson: Is the other machine Windows XP? | 04:39 |
| jgeorgeson | noda: 2k, and my username is the same | 04:39 |
| TheMonoTone | jgeorgeson, nautilus acts funky for me sometimes when trying to browse | 04:39 |
| noda | TheMonoTone: What's it do? | 04:40 |
| TheMonoTone | I already told you, sometimes it stalls like crazy | 04:40 |
| TheMonoTone | and then gives me some bs about how it can't find anything in the workgroup | 04:40 |
| TheMonoTone | but if I do net lookup whatever, I get an ip | 04:40 |

| noda | Everyone should just use WebDAV and... erm... whatever that Rendezvous technology is called :) | 04:41 |
| noda | That's how we'll share in GNOME 2.10 :) | 04:41 |
| noda | Same as Mac :) | 04:42 |
| laander | what is the best way to install the nvidia drivers? the nvidia installer gives a warning when running the installer in run level 1, but X is running in all other run levels. | 04:42 |
| TheMonoTone | the whole lanman/smb protocol blows until you get in to the absolute newest versions with ad running (then you have a db and dns of boxen) | 04:42 |
| TheMonoTone | even then... | 04:42 |
| jgeorgeson | noda, i can't even browse this machine (just restarted samba, so i know it's running) | 04:42 |
| noda | laander: Switch to the normal runlevel, and then "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" | 04:42 |
| TheMonoTone | jgeorgeson, trying going in console and doing net lookup boxname | 04:42 |
| TheMonoTone | and then trying again, that seemed to spark life in to the browsing for me | 04:43 |
| jgeorgeson | TheMonoTone, no luck | 04:43 |
| noda | jgeorgeson: Open up a Nautilus window, hit Ctrl-L and type "smb://127.0.0.1" | 04:44 |
| jgeorgeson | TheMonoTone, no big deal though, i haven't found a single app than can launch a file from the smb:// listing | 04:44 |
| jgeorgeson | noda, no error that way, but it doesn't list anything either. i'm looking at my smb.conf as i expected to see my home dir | 04:45 |

| noda | Pretty cool though. Samba has a better SMB implementation than Windows :) | 04:47 |
| Darknite | have you done speed tests on that | 04:48 |
| jgeorgeson | noda, yeah, but windows uses CIFS these days, which is better than SMB i thought | 04:48 |
| Darknite | I have it is over twice as fast | 04:48 |
| noda | Darknite: Not actual benchmarks, but copying many small files from Windows to Windows is around half the speed of Samba to Samba | 04:48 |
| luca | tseng! | 04:48 |
| Darknite | we did at the office about a year ago | 04:48 |

| HrdwrBoB | yeah | 05:03 |
| noda | jgeorgeson: That's nicer, I agree :) | 05:04 |

| WX | topgun601: she used it at Linux World San Fran | 05:04 |
| jgeorgeson | noda, didn't know ubuntu releases were 18 month support. i think that's better than fedora releases | 05:04 |
| micX | noda, debian unstable is a server; debian unstable isn't undergoing rapid development. *boggle* | 05:04 |
| noda | jgeorgeson: Ubuntu is what Fedora was meant to be but never will be :) | 05:05 |
| topgun601 | hope they it works | 05:05 |

| noda | micX: Not compared to ubuntu, anyway | 05:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | micX: well, debian isn't going through MAJOR development | 05:05 |

| atomsk | how's ATI support on ubuntu? same as Debian unstable? | 05:08 |
| nitin | dunno | 05:08 |
| nitin | thats why im asking | 05:08 |
| noda | atomsk: They've got proprietary drivers *on the CD* | 05:08 |
| micX | noda, deb testing for a server - maybe. but not unstable. Well not if you enjoy a reliable server. | 05:08 |
| noda | atomsk: But in general, ATI's linux support SUCKS | 05:08 |
| laander | when trying to update the kernel headers i see the repository already has a later kernel than i have. | 05:08 |
| nitin | yep | 05:08 |
| laander | is it safe to update the kernel? | 05:08 |
| noda | laander: Yes | 05:09 |
| noda | laander: Just do an "apt-get dist-upgrade" whenever you like :) | 05:09 |
| atomsk | noda: works ok on Debian unstable. | 05:09 |

| digerati_ | what kernel version is packaged with ?the current ubuntu release | 05:09 |
| jgeorgeson | noda, i thought kernels were excluded. that you manually say to install a kernel image, reboot, and remove the old one | 05:10 |
| digerati_ | and how long does a normal ubuntu install take? | 05:10 |
| noda | digerati_: 2.6.7 or 2.6.8.1, I forget | 05:10 |
| noda | digerati_: Around an hour | 05:10 |
| nitin | nah! | 05:10 |
| topgun601 | 2.6.8.1 | 05:10 |
| jgeorgeson | at least when i tried pure debian, release versions didn't have a kernel version tied to them | 05:10 |
| digerati_ | noda - on an athlon 2600? | 05:10 |
| nitin | i got it done in 20 min | 05:10 |
| laander | i show 2.6.8.1-2 when doing a uname -a | 05:10 |

| atomsk | nitin: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html | 05:12 |
| nitin | thtsa for ubuntu? | 05:12 |
| noda | atomsk: The nice thing about a distro is that it does that kind of thing *for* you. | 05:12 |
| jgeorgeson | kremlyn: it just depends on another package with a more specific version. in the case of kernels, you install linux-kernel-2.6 and when you 'apt-get upgrade' you get the latest 2.6 kernel | 05:12 |
| noda | Ubuntu has the drivers. | 05:13 |
| jamesdorn | looks like the only way so far to get ubuntu working on PPC hardware is to run the i386 version with Virtual PC | 05:13 |
| atomsk | noda: well thats good to hear | 05:13 |
| nitin | oh those.. | 05:13 |
| noda | I know, because I *have* an ATI card on this laptop, and I considered break^H^H^H^H^Hinstalling the drivers :) | 05:13 |
| nitin | but those arent ubuntu specific | 05:13 |

| pyramid | jgeorgeson, this is the fallacy...ignoring the potential of advancing software is a costly mistake. | 05:28 |
| atomsk | jgeorgeson: I guess its okay for unneeded improvement. But what about security fixes? Its like running after trouble...besides the update task can be automated. | 05:29 |

| pyramid | mosty, but the problem is that many hardware companies are MS bitches and only care if their stuff works on MS. | 05:54 |
| mosty | that is a problem, but i don't think HP is such a case. they provided support for the most important (common) functions of their stuff | 05:55 |
| riley | toyowheelin, onboard lan is not detected by any distro's installation, and once i install any distro, i can never get X to work and half of the commands in the terminal don't work | 05:55 |
| toyowheelin | riley, did you d/l the amd64 version of ubuntu | 05:55 |
| toyowheelin | ? | 05:55 |
| pyramid | mosty, it is a serious problem... | 05:55 |
| toyowheelin | or the i386 ver | 05:55 |
| riley | toyowheelin, yeah, i'm not a complete idiot lol | 05:56 |
| tomas__ | can anyone help me to compile ? i tried now first time on uguntu | 05:56 |
| toyowheelin | well the 386 version dose work | 05:56 |
| mosty | pyramid, the one obscure function you want (color fax)? not in my opinion | 05:56 |
| riley | it works on an amd64? | 05:56 |
| toyowheelin | it just dont take advantage of the processor | 05:56 |
| toyowheelin | yes | 05:56 |
| pyramid | mosty, yes everyone uses color fax to move picture of their PHB's around | 05:56 |
| riley | oh ok, i might try that | 05:56 |
| === TongMaestro is now known as TongMaster | ||
| toyowheelin | riley, same as windows xp will work fine in 32 bit mode | 05:57 |
| mosty | pyramid, case in point: i didn't even know there was a color fax standard | 05:57 |
| pyramid | mosty, yes Brother printers have had color fax for a long time now...but they only support MS | 05:57 |
| riley | toyowheelin, what exactly are the advantages of 64 bit processing? | 05:57 |
| tomas__ | i tried ./configure on source i downloaded... says no compiler installed.. i "cp gcc-3.4 gcc" and now it says "configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check" | 05:57 |
| toyowheelin | more data at a time can be processed | 05:57 |
| toyowheelin | so 64bit is faster | 05:58 |
| tomas__ | why is it called gcc-3.4 and not gcc ? | 05:58 |
| pyramid | mosty, there are just so many MS bitches...hardware and software...just look at Nero, Isobuster, WinIso, Ghost, Norton, Macromedia, Sun Java, etc. | 05:58 |
| riley | so basically you're only using half of the processor's resources in 32 bit mode? | 05:58 |
| _digerati | No compiler found in $PATH | 05:58 |
| _digerati | wtf? | 05:58 |
| toyowheelin | yeah kinda | 05:58 |
| mosty | pyramid, i thought modems didn't need drivers? everything is done through the AT command set | 05:59 |
| tomas__ | yes it was: configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH | 05:59 |
| pyramid | mosty, well yes you can use a modem...but you will have to pull in a picture into your computer and then send it out again...with a mfc...it is all automatic and the computer is not really needed. | 05:59 |
| tomas__ | that passed after i cp gcc-3.4 gcc | 06:00 |
| pyramid | mosty, but the problem is that Brother is an MS bitch. | 06:00 |
| mosty | pyramid, i would imagine you'd want to crop/filter/edit the picture on your computer first anyway | 06:00 |
| toyowheelin | riley, plus 32bit is a waste of an expensive processor, I dont know about you but my processor was nearly $300 | 06:01 |
| riley | mine was $150 with a discount a newegg | 06:01 |
| pyramid | mosty, well yes you will have that capability...but if you just want to send a picture of your Pointy Haired Boss to someone...the Brother is the way to go...but not without Linux support. | 06:01 |
| toyowheelin | oh | 06:01 |
| riley | but mine is also sub 2 GHz, what's yours? | 06:01 |
| toyowheelin | I bought my whole system on newegg | 06:01 |
| mosty | pyramid, fax is too expensive, why not use email instead? | 06:01 |
| toyowheelin | riley, mine is 2.4Ghz | 06:02 |

| rev_trance | how do i set up printing through gimp-print via the gnome cups manager? | 06:02 |
| rev_trance | or, how do i enable administration via the cups manager? | 06:02 |
| mosty | pyramid, it's expensive for the receiver, especially color | 06:03 |
| riley | toyowheelin, yeah, somebody pointed me to newegg after i had bought a couple of parts (ram and video card), and i liked it so much that i bought the rest there | 06:03 |
| tomas__ | anyone knows? | 06:03 |
| pyramid | mosty, well yes ink costs but someone may want to see a picture of your Pointy Haired Boss. | 06:03 |

| mosty | pyramid, methinks email is a much nicer solution | 06:03 |
| toyowheelin | riley, my whole computer minus the keyboard monitor and mouse came to be $959 | 06:04 |
| pyramid | mosty, well over long distance email is nice...but locally fax is very useful especially when signatures are needed. | 06:04 |
| kremlyn | which utilities provide help in gnome? | 06:04 |
| joem | yelp | 06:04 |
| mosty | pyramid, last time i sent a signature on a fax, i got a letter back asking for a proper signature instead | 06:05 |
| kremlyn | great, thanks :-) | 06:05 |
| toyowheelin | how much ram do you have riley | 06:05 |
| pyramid | mosty, well many people have sent me papers that they wanted signed and faxed back..so i can only tell you from my own experience. | 06:05 |
| riley | toyowheelin, that's pretty good figuring in the $300 processor. i haven't found out my exact cost, but it was between $1100 and $1200 | 06:06 |
| riley | toyowheelin, 1GB | 06:06 |
| riley | i got 2 512KB at $75 a piece | 06:06 |
| toyowheelin | yeah I got 1GB of DDR 3200 corseir | 06:06 |
| riley | i got corseir 4000 | 06:06 |
| riley | wait i was thinking of something else 3200 | 06:07 |
| pyramid | mosty, one time i was going to buy a house and they had to have a faxed signature on the contract. | 06:07 |
| toyowheelin | 400mhz ram is the max my board supports | 06:07 |
| toyowheelin | 3200=400mhz | 06:07 |
| riley | i'm just wondering, can multiple linux distros use the same swap partition | 06:07 |
| mosty | yes | 06:08 |
| toyowheelin | I dont know | 06:08 |
| riley | yeah that's what i was thinking, 400 mhz | 06:08 |
| pyramid | mosty, and it is sickening that Brother and HP are MS bitches and make sure their stuff works on MS but not on Linux. | 06:08 |

| rev_trance | riley: i've had up to 5 distros on my machine, sharing the same swap | 06:09 |
| riley | toyowheelin, yeah lol it's just my crappy mobo | 06:09 |
| toyowheelin | :) | 06:09 |
| pyramid | mosty, but don't you see...if they all support MS like NERO,Norton,etc...then it is a vicious circle because everyone will want MS so they will have to support it again and again. | 06:09 |
| toyowheelin | riley, what mobo was it again? | 06:10 |
| riley | rev_trance, cool, i was wondering because i'm going to partition my old pc so that i can install 8 distros at the same time lol | 06:10 |
| mosty | you're confusing me now, nero and norton are software... | 06:10 |

| pyramid | mosty, i don't even think Solomon the wise had as many bitches as MS has. | 06:11 |
| toyowheelin | yea | 06:11 |
| riley | toyowheelin, bear with me, this is the first pc i ever built lol | 06:12 |
| toyowheelin | and you have more pci and memory slots than I do | 06:12 |
| pyramid | mosty, no X writes software or builds hardware for Y therefore X is Y's bitch. | 06:12 |
| riley | yeah well that doesn't really matter if it won't run lol | 06:12 |
| mosty | pyramid, by that reasoning, every hardware and software manufacturer is somebodies bitch | 06:13 |
| pyramid | mosty, well hey...if they choose to be an MS bitch what difference does it make to me? | 06:13 |
| LeeColleton | riley: swap is essentially like RAM, but slower. Assuming the drive is only accessible by one computer system, you won't have a problem. If it was a remote volume then you might have a problem, but that only matters for dickless workstations | 06:13 |
| pyramid | mosty, but i am saying that until people stop being MS bitches nothing will change. | 06:14 |

| t35t0r | pyramid does have a tinfoil hat | 07:31 |
| q2 | i also do | 07:31 |
| t35t0r | he was talking about that crazy stuff in the cave | 07:31 |
| pyramid | t35t0r, well art can be very misleading...just becasue you label it ART doesn't mean it should have a HALO around it. | 07:32 |
| HrdwrBoB | but it doesn't mean you should be scared of looking at it | 07:32 |
| t35t0r | pyramid, no but it still can be appreciated ...nazi art is still art ..albeit grotesque | 07:32 |
| HrdwrBoB | because it might affect you | 07:32 |

| fabbione | LeeColleton: please check the man page. I am sure that it can do it. I just can't remember the switches | 07:32 |

| t35t0r | even nix has it's black screen of death :> | 07:34 |
| LeeColleton | fabbione: the default device is /dev/video0, which is what came up in dmesg | 07:34 |
| t35t0r | i got one trying to modprobe linuxant's hsf winmodem drivers | 07:34 |
| LeeColleton | I think the issue is that the camera uses something called "bayer rgb" | 07:34 |
| t35t0r | I think that was too much taint for the kernel to handle | 07:34 |
| t35t0r | it just died | 07:34 |
| pyramid | my point is that ART conveys, biases,prejudices, propoganda and so on. | 07:34 |
| fable | Yeah it does... | 07:34 |
| fabbione | LeeColleton: unfortunatly i don't have a webcam to test with | 07:34 |
| t35t0r | pyramid, yea have you read MAUS | 07:34 |
| LeeColleton | none of the standard apps can read it, although v4l-info shows a bunch of information from the driver | 07:35 |
| fabbione | LeeColleton: the V4L is a standard. if the camera is hooked up, it should work. | 07:35 |
| pyramid | t35t0r, no I have not read MAUS...i don't wish to mess up my mind anymore with misleading thoughts,ideas,advice, and so on. | 07:35 |

| pyramid | Hrdwr_BoB, if everything is relative..then how can we agree on the speed of light. | 07:43 |

| HrdwrBoB | who's to say you can't build a universe where pi=72 and the speed of light is slightly less than it is now | 07:45 |
| fabbione | LeeColleton: you need this: http://go.lamarinapunto.com/modules/mydownloads/ | 07:45 |
| pyramid | Hrdwr_BoB, remember for a vacuum and average photon speed. | 07:45 |
| t35t0r | you mean the speed of light in a vacu, | 07:45 |
| t35t0r | uum | 07:45 |
| t35t0r | heh | 07:45 |
| fabbione | LeeColleton: it's a patched xawtv that supports the bayer rgb format AND v4l2 | 07:45 |
| fabbione | LeeColleton: the driver should be ok. | 07:45 |
| fabbione | LeeColleton: but there are updated sn9c10x drivers too. | 07:46 |
| t35t0r | c = sqrt (relative permeability * relative permittivity) ? | 07:46 |
| topyli | HrdwrBoB: well, i can't do it, that's pretty sure (for now) | 07:46 |
| t35t0r | i think that's correct | 07:46 |
| LeeColleton | fabbione: should I uninstall the prepackaged version of xawtv? | 07:46 |
| pyramid | Hrdwr_BoB, if you want to talk about individual photons going faster or slower than light this does not necessarily affect the average. | 07:46 |
| === LeeColleton is excited to maybe finally use his webcam | ||
| fabbione | LeeColleton: up to you.. i would first try to compile the new xawtv and run it in the local/build dir | 07:46 |

| HrdwrBoB | pyramid: no, what about a theoreticaly unverse that has different constants | 07:47 |
| LeeColleton | yeah, I guess I could just leave it in /usr/local/bin | 07:47 |

| pyramid | Hrdwr_BoB, well notice that the earth could in fact be flat with round edges. | 07:49 |
| LeeColleton | the world is topologically flat (except for tunnels) | 07:49 |

| t35t0r | pyramid, its statistical probability that if you put such and such chemicals together they will combine to form amino acids ...proteins ..cells etc | 07:57 |
| t35t0r | pyramid, i'm sure you know that there has been work at creating "life in a bottle" | 07:58 |
| t35t0r | pyramid, but it takes billions of years | 07:58 |
| pyramid | t35t0r, you are referring to very complex molecular behavior even in simple bacteria...how did atoms get up and decide to get together to form living breathing eating crapping bacteria. | 07:58 |
| t35t0r | pyramid, you don't know much about biology | 07:58 |
| t35t0r | pyramid, i work in a protein crystallography lab .. | 07:59 |
| pyramid | t35t0r, even with trillions of years...how did inorganic elements get up and collect together in very sophisticated patterns. | 07:59 |
| t35t0r | pyramid, it's statistical probability ..and to you statistics is probably a "bunch of lies" | 07:59 |
| t35t0r | so i can't expect you to understand ..you're too preconditioned | 07:59 |

| t35t0r | its my worst subject | 08:00 |
| t35t0r | pyramid, it's the same process | 08:00 |
| pyramid | LeeColleton, everyday the bacteria takes a crap in your mouth. | 08:00 |
| t35t0r | pyramid, what are the bacteria made of | 08:01 |
| LeeColleton | pyramid: the difference between crystal formation and organic self-assembly is slight | 08:01 |
| pyramid | t35t0r, no not even with the wildest imagination is it the same process...heat a rock all you want..does it come alive. | 08:01 |
| t35t0r | pyramid, it's not jut simply heating a rock | 08:01 |
| pyramid | t35t0r, ok put pressure on a rock all you want ...does it come alive. | 08:01 |
| LeeColleton | in a sense, we are all huge liquid crystals due to the properties of the continuious connective tissues throughout our bodies | 08:01 |
| t35t0r | pyramid, once again you are completely misrepresenting it | 08:02 |
| t35t0r | its not just a rock | 08:02 |
| LeeColleton | collagen is a superconductor of high freq at room temperatures | 08:02 |
| t35t0r | it's a collection of elements in the right amount namely C H N O P & S | 08:02 |
| pyramid | t35t0r, i am not misrepresenting it...the point is that we know life came to this earth...since it did it could have come again and manifested itself inside the Virgin Mary. | 08:02 |
| t35t0r | that make life .."as we know it" ..i can't speak for Si based life if there is such a thng | 08:02 |

| daWhippa | it began with God at his *NIX terminal | 08:05 |
| t35t0r | and RNA is much less advanced ..but cells did this for millions of years ..then it became DNA during the course of evolution | 08:05 |

| LeeColleton | Xyverz: it isn't safe to do so at this time. Recommend you do a clean install | 08:11 |
| Xyverz | hmmmm | 08:11 |
| Xyverz | I was considering it on my laptop, but no CD drive. | 08:11 |
| Xyverz | well, that and my laptop is too slow to comfortable run GNOME anyway. | 08:11 |
| Xyverz | hmmm | 08:11 |
| topyli | Xyverz: some packages are named differently, so there may be confusion. script, persmission differences as well | 08:11 |
| Xyverz | maybe I'll just keep it at sarge for the time being. | 08:11 |
| LeeColleton | t35t0r: ubuntu is debian on a fixed release schedule. | 08:11 |
| t35t0r | LeeColleton, ahh i see now | 08:12 |

| LeeColleton | standard debian packages can be installed on an ubuntu system but it isn't advised | 08:13 |
| t35t0r | LeeColleton, well im seeing that currently there is no bleeding edge support | 08:13 |
| t35t0r | like xorg 6.8 etc | 08:13 |
| t35t0r | or am i wrong ? ...as far as apt-get packages are concerned | 08:13 |
| t35t0r | for the ubuntu repository | 08:14 |
| LeeColleton | dpkg only handles dependencies based on version numbers, so it's thrown off by the repackaging into PACKAGE-ubuntuX.Y.Z | 08:14 |
| t35t0r | its not really bleeding edge since i think xorg 6.8+ i'm not sure what minor version it is ..my cygwin is at xorg 6.8.0.1 or something hehe | 08:14 |

| |trey| | Titbread: look into icecast | 10:14 |
| bob2 | Titbread: icecast, I guess | 10:14 |
| Titbread | |trey|: Thanks alot mate | 10:15 |
| |trey| | a lot | 10:15 |
| Titbread | bob2: Thanks | 10:15 |
| cypher1001 | yes, i need the kernel-source, looks like its in kernel-package? correct..i need to compile kernel module for my wireless nic...i have done this on Suse 9.1, and FC2 where kernel-source is in /usr/src/2.XXX...where is it in ubuntu? | 10:15 |
| Titbread | |trey|: no need to be pickey on spelling dude ;) | 10:15 |
| |trey| | Titbread: not having a good night... | 10:15 |
| Treenaks | cypher1001: are your sure your wireless nic is not supported in Ubuntu ? | 10:15 |
| Titbread | bob2: I will hopefully be able to produce some better graphics for the linux community -- AND FUCK MICROSOFTS SHITTY OS OVER!!! | 10:16 |
| bob2 | cypher1001: no, it's not | 10:16 |
| bob2 | cypher1001: it's in the linux-source-2.6.8 package | 10:16 |
| cypher1001 | not sure, smc 2635w pcmcia | 10:16 |
| Titbread | bob2: Check my companies site http://www.retinalnerve.com | 10:16 |
| bob2 | cypher1001: it's probably supported out of the box | 10:16 |
| Treenaks | cypher1001: that's just prism54 -- and supported natively | 10:16 |
| |trey| | Titbread: what is shitty about Microsofts software in your eyes? | 10:16 |
| bob2 | cypher1001: if it has Free drivers, at least | 10:16 |
| Treenaks | cypher1001: otherwise it's atmel-based, and that works too | 10:16 |
| Treenaks | cypher1001: just plug it in | 10:17 |
| |trey| | Titbread: and how will graphics overcome this? | 10:17 |
| Titbread | |trey|: Well I build a new machine, installed it, went online and within 15 minutes my pc starts behaving odly (programs hang, os hangs, lags, its slow) | 10:17 |
| Titbread | |trey|: People are naive - they think good graphics = good programming, and good software | 10:17 |

| bob2 | cypher1001: then it's highly likely ubuntu includes it already | 10:18 |
| lypanov | Titbread: sure it can | 10:19 |
| plovs | morning | 10:19 |
| lypanov | Titbread: just gotta make the command prompt all pretty | 10:19 |
| cypher1001 | yeah, i have the source for rt2400, i just need kernel source...that's all | 10:19 |
| Treenaks | cypher1001: No, we mean it's highly likely it works with the DEFAULT kernel | 10:19 |
| Titbread | |trey|: Remember like 70% of the world are dumb as fuck - if u want linux to take over u gotta cater for them 2, and yeh they think something tht looks good - is good | 10:19 |
| lypanov | cypher1001: apt-get install linux-source-2.6.8-1 | 10:19 |
| plovs | cypher1001, wouldn't kernel headers be enough? or linux-restricted-modules? | 10:20 |

| |trey| | azeem: java prefs... usually unneeded :/ | 10:40 |
| clee | mojo: dude, Java 5 is out. ;) | 10:40 |
| mojo | when u install J2SDK | 10:41 |
| mojo | they will install the icon on the menu | 10:41 |
| mojo | yah | 10:41 |
| mojo | I mean J2SDK 1.50 for 5 | 10:41 |
| clee | god. Sun's naming conventions are so screwed. | 10:41 |
| dyn | clee: it's not a clear choice for users though | 10:41 |

| dyn | it's about marketing+politics | 10:41 |
| |trey| | azeem: no | 10:41 |
| mojo | at least Ubuntu should modify to let Sun Java icon added | 10:41 |
| dyn | not naming conventions | 10:41 |
| azeem | mojo: fix Sun Java | 10:42 |
| mojo | Sun Java installer is generic for all distros | 10:42 |
| azeem | mojo: I don't think ubuntu has it blacklisted or anything | 10:42 |
| mojo | b/c Ubuntu is a bit tweaked | 10:42 |
| mojo | so... | 10:42 |
| mojo | not turn out like I want | 10:42 |
| azeem | so Sun Java should be adopted to ubuntu as well | 10:42 |
| Se7h | dammm | 10:43 |

| mkyc-ubuntu | worked like a charm - cheers | 11:07 |
| mkyc-ubuntu | bah @ citrix and its need to have netscape installed to install the client | 11:08 |
| mkyc-ubuntu | hope it accepts mozilla as netscape seeing as how it doesnt accept firefox :P | 11:09 |
| petemc | mkyc-ubuntu: have you tried tsclient? | 11:10 |
| iMicX | mkyc-ubuntu, which citrix is that? I've never had netscape? | 11:11 |
| mkyc-ubuntu | yes but doesnt appear to work properly with my full desktop thru csg | 11:11 |
| mkyc-ubuntu | linux client | 11:11 |
| petemc | mkyc-ubuntu: citrix secure gateway? good luck with that | 11:11 |
| mkyc-ubuntu | tell me about it - i support it for a living :( | 11:11 |
| petemc | mkyc-ubuntu: you'll need to try the java client, and embed the certificate in it, its a royal pita | 11:11 |
| iMicX | mkyc-ubuntu, I just dl the client from citrix and install it. no problem so far, but no csg either :) | 11:12 |
| mkyc-ubuntu | so it seems but i have a client who needs to do it on linux.... and work said they can so i have t o work out how :) | 11:12 |

| petemc | and you need the java sdk installed on the linux machine, and use keytool to import the cert | 11:13 |
| mkyc-ubuntu | i may not need to.. thinking about it now.. | 11:13 |
| mkyc-ubuntu | hmm | 11:13 |
| petemc | keep thinking that :) | 11:13 |
| mkyc-ubuntu | lol no i mean it may work another way | 11:14 |
| petemc | i know | 11:14 |
| mkyc-ubuntu | yes well i can pray :) | 11:14 |
| petemc | well, it doesnt for me, running nfuse on apache tomcat | 11:14 |

| dyn | now i wonder if i set back the original geometry with sfdisk, why partition 1's end would change | 12:33 |
| dyn | especially as i installed ubuntu on 2 already existing partitions | 12:33 |

| dpro | well i tried gentoo last week, i came so far as to install the bootloader, and then i couldnt figure out how to come further | 01:30 |

| darkersatanic | merriam: The recompilation bit for firefox is a known bug with a known fix. | 01:40 |
| darkersatanic | merriam: I'm running AMD64, and there's a compiler bug in gcc 3.3 that causes FF to be extremely unstable. | 01:41 |
| merriam | darkersatanic: so there will be a fixed official binary soon? | 01:41 |
| darkersatanic | Recompiling with gcc 3.4 is known to fix the problem. | 01:41 |
| Kamion | dyn: ah, good | 01:41 |
| darkersatanic | I don't know. | 01:41 |
| darkersatanic | I know that there were some issues with running gcc 3.4 binaries on a system compiled with gcc 3.3, | 01:42 |
| dyn | Kamion: i think that could be also added to the Ubuntu FAQ or even to Release Notes | 01:42 |
| merriam | have you tried mozilla.org builds of firefox? | 01:42 |
| darkersatanic | but it's worth a try, IMO. | 01:42 |
| darkersatanic | Do mozilla.org do amd64 builds? | 01:42 |

| cybernout | in setting an passwd | 02:02 |
| Kamion | cybernout: what command did you run, and what error message did it produce? | 02:02 |
| merriam | cybernout: it's the password you logged in with. if you don't have the password for sudo, you can't have logged in | 02:03 |
| cybernout | no error just returns and is not changed | 02:03 |
| cybernout | hmm... | 02:03 |
| Kamion | cybernout: what command did you run? | 02:03 |
| cybernout | sudo passwd | 02:03 |
| cybernout | usual debian way | 02:03 |
| Kamion | I think you need 'sudo passwd root', but remember that that sets root's password, not the password sudo asks for. | 02:04 |
| topyli | that's not usual | 02:04 |
| cybernout | ah | 02:04 |
| cybernout | i got it | 02:04 |
| cybernout | its the users name that opens the root | 02:04 |
| topyli | sudo asks for you password, not roots | 02:04 |
| topyli | hrmh. your, root's | 02:05 |
| azeem | if you get an dialog box asking for the root password, that would be a bug | 02:05 |
| superted | root doesnt have a password on ubuntu | 02:05 |
| cybernout | okey , lets go over this step by step.. | 02:05 |
| cybernout | if i wanto open an root console - it will prompt for the passwd | 02:06 |
| cybernout | right? | 02:06 |
| topyli | no | 02:06 |
| KnoppixUSER | no? | 02:06 |
| topyli | you don't want to open a root console | 02:06 |
| topyli | use sudo | 02:06 |
| cybernout | why not? | 02:06 |
| Treenaks | cybernout: you want to run some commands as root. you almost never want a complete root console. | 02:07 |
| Mayday | what do i apt-get to get the full desktop? i went for base when installing... | 02:07 |
| Kamion | cybernout: if you want to open a root terminal, it will ask for your password; sudo is set up by default to allow that for the initially-created user. | 02:07 |
| Kamion | Mayday: aptitude install '~tubuntu-desktop' | 02:07 |

| cybernout | any tips on an good program for the bttv tv card? | 02:16 |
| Zindar | cybernout, xawtv works | 02:16 |
| Treenaks | topyli: still, they should use an external program to become root, which in ubuntu would do sudo, and in unstable su | 02:16 |
| Treenaks | topyli: something like that | 02:16 |
| topyli | Treenaks: yeah, gksu i guess | 02:16 |
| cybernout | ok | 02:16 |
| topyli | Treenaks: i may fix it later, because the ubuntu way is better | 02:17 |
| topyli | Treenaks: all i would need to do is change the menu entry for those to do 'gksu firestarter' etc. Then i can disable root again | 02:18 |

| Celettu | suppose someone liked Ubuntu very much, but doesn't have a lot of experience with either Gnome or Debian, and has some troubles configuring everything, would this be the place to ask? :) | 02:20 |
| elFarto | i just wanted to give some feedback about ubuntu | 02:20 |
| topyli | Treenaks: that wouldn't fix ubuntu wrt alien programs in general though, just my installation :) | 02:20 |
| elFarto | i've just installed it | 02:20 |
| Treenaks | topyli: if it was packaged differently it might work | 02:20 |
| merriam | Celettu: yes | 02:20 |

| topyli | Celettu: if there ever was such a person, they would probably be well advised to come in a place such as this one | 02:21 |
| Celettu | merriam great! I've googled around but there isn't that much on Ubuntu yet, and no forums, and I know NOTHING about Gnome, and it's not MS, and I'm still getting rid of Windows-thinking | 02:21 |

| elFarto | 1) while it was updating all the packages wvdail came up and asked me if i wanted to auto configure it, problem was my usb keyboard wasn't working, i had to plug it into my ps/2 port to be able to press n | 02:22 |
| Celettu | merriam yeah, I looked. That helped installing nvidia-drivers and such, but there are some other things and I don't know if they're bugs, or simply gnome, or simply ubuntu, or something else | 02:22 |
| topyli | Celettu: come on, ask already :) | 02:22 |
| Celettu | like, for example, can the gnome panel be configured to show minimised apps of all virtual desktops, and not just the wone you're working in? | 02:23 |
| Celettu | sorry :P | 02:23 |
| Treenaks | Celettu: yes | 02:23 |
| Celettu | great! | 02:23 |
| Celettu | ... | 02:23 |
| Celettu | how? :P | 02:23 |
| Treenaks | Celettu: right-click the "handle" next to the "Computer" menu, select Preferences | 02:23 |
| Treenaks | (or Properties, don't know) | 02:23 |
| merriam | elFarto: debian culture is somewhat blind to dial-up. i suppose ubuntu is similar | 02:23 |
| Celettu | yeah, tried that, but I can only choose the name, orientation, size...and things like background colour | 02:24 |
| elFarto | and 2) it incorrectly detected my nvidia graphics card as an SiS, it picked up "Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP)" as my graphics card | 02:24 |
| Treenaks | Celettu: you should right-click on the "handle" thing next to the program names | 02:24 |
| elFarto | merriam, that wasn't the problem, the problem was my usb keyboard wasn't setup correctly | 02:24 |
| merriam | elFarto: but i found my usb keyboard worked. it may depend on setting "usb for dos" in the bios | 02:24 |
| Treenaks | Celettu: not on the empty part of the panel | 02:25 |
| elFarto | merriam, well on my other linux partition, my usb keyboard works just fine | 02:25 |
| Celettu | ah...ha... | 02:25 |
| Celettu | AH! | 02:25 |
| wongy | exit | 02:26 |
| Treenaks | Celettu: it works? :) | 02:26 |
| Celettu | whew, that was hard to find | 02:26 |
| Celettu | Treenaks yep. I rightclicked on the panel, not on the handle, since it's only one mm across...totally misse dit | 02:26 |
| merriam | elFarto: and it works fine on ubuntu now? | 02:26 |

| elFarto | yep, it's working fine now | 02:28 |
| elFarto | just not during the package update | 02:28 |
| Celettu | This is nice. Another thing...in Gaim it's possible to have the minimised windows flash when you receive a message...for some reason this doesn't work. | 02:29 |
| merriam | elFarto: so, as i said, that may depend on setting "usb for dos". can you confirm that? | 02:29 |
| elFarto | Celettu, it is, but the gnome task list display...thingy doesn't support it afaik | 02:29 |
| Treenaks | Celettu: maybe there's a gaim plugin for that, or something in "window settings"? | 02:29 |
| === fragg [~luis@121.red-212-97-188.user.auna.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| elFarto | merriam, you want me to check that in the bios? | 02:29 |
| Celettu | Farto I thought about that, but it's a bit odd since gaim is built for Gnome. And it works great in KDE | 02:30 |
| Celettu | Treenaks it's a plugin, but it doesn't work. Neither does the "History" plugin for that matter... | 02:30 |
| elFarto | i think it works (the flashing thing) under sawfish | 02:30 |
| merriam | elFarto: yes. it may be worth reporting | 02:30 |

| elFarto | k, brb | 02:31 |
| pere | Im having trouble setting up network printing (through a SMC Barricade) under Ubuntu. | 02:31 |
| topyli | Celettu: what i do is have the window pop up when someone sends you a message | 02:32 |
| pere | Ive set Host to routers IP, and queue to lp. Is that correct, or could it be something else | 02:32 |
| topyli | well, to me, not you :) | 02:32 |
| Treenaks | topyli: I do that too, but it's hell with metacity's focus problems in sloppy focus mode | 02:32 |
| topyli | hm, probablyl | 02:33 |
| topyli | bly | 02:33 |
| Celettu | top yeah, but that gets annoying REALLY fast :P | 02:33 |
| Celettu | suppose you're getting all cozy with someone in private and suddenly your mother pops up | 02:33 |
| topyli | Celettu: maybe, if you get lots of traffic | 02:33 |
| Treenaks | Celettu: you can make the status icon blink.. that works | 02:33 |
| Treenaks | like the old ICQ did :) | 02:33 |
| Celettu | Tree that could work. I'll try that :) | 02:34 |
| Celettu | okay, next :P Nautilus is also an ftp client, but it doesn't ask for passwords | 02:34 |

| elFarto | well, helpfully enough, my "USB Legacy Function" was set to auo | 02:36 |
| elFarto | er | 02:36 |
| elFarto | auto | 02:36 |
| pere | The Queue name under network printer settings is strange. It shows just asterix (at the moment two). If I try to change it to "lp1", close and come back. It is still just two stars there. Anyone else having problems setting ut a printer? | 02:36 |
| Treenaks | elFarto: auto = on if USB keyboard attached | 02:36 |
| elFarto | ok, so it was on then | 02:36 |
| topyli | Celettu: weird. it does offer to connect to "public ftp" or "ftp with login" | 02:37 |
| merriam | elFarto: this is odd. weren't you using the usb keyboard before it asked about wvdial? | 02:37 |
| elFarto | well, that when it asked about wvdail that was the first place it didn't work | 02:38 |
| elFarto | booting off the cd it worked fine, and it worked all the way upto that point | 02:38 |
| elFarto | i mean, i had to hit enter to tell it to go update the packages | 02:38 |
| Celettu | top my bad. It does :P So what about password protected samba shares? :) | 02:38 |
| elFarto | so, very odd indeed | 02:39 |
| merriam | elFarto: and "usb legacy function" is the only usb setting? | 02:39 |
| elFarto | yep | 02:39 |
| topyli | Celettu: this i don't know. i guess you need to have the same username and password on the server... that's the easy way to connect to my samba shares from a windows box anyway... | 02:39 |
| mjr | hmm, anyone happen to know if nforce3 chipset's audio is properly supported in linux? (Considering getting a silent amd64 box and shuttle seems to offer that) | 02:39 |

| `anthony | Hey - fairly fundamental problem here. Installing onto a Dell dimension PC here, and the installer can't deal with the CDROM - fails to mount it. attempting to mount it manually whirs for a while then gives "invalid argument". Mounting on another box works, tho. | 02:43 |

| merriam | Celettu: "read only", you said... | 02:48 |
| Celettu | I forgot that I had to change this in suse too | 02:48 |
| Kamion | ElBast: we debated it before the preview release and decided against it, since desktop users shouldn't require it; it's on the CD for those who need it | 02:48 |
| ElBast | kamion: which one do you recommend to install? i've seen 3.3 and 3.4 in synaptic | 02:49 |
| Kamion | 3.3 | 02:49 |
| merriam | elFarto: that's my only guess -- it didn't like the hardware probing. maybe the usb connection recovers after a while | 02:49 |
| Kamion | for the moment | 02:49 |

| ElBast | okay, i've got a budget technotrend dvb-t... and i've just found out my the firmware i'm using in windows isn't supported by the current dvb kernel drivers | 03:25 |

| _mikal | ElBast, isnt the firmware loaded into the cards in some way by the driver? I seem to remeber reading something about it | 03:26 |
| Treenaks | the drivers should be updated so udev can create the devices | 03:26 |
| _mikal | ElBast, I think so, it was about 6 months since I last played with it | 03:27 |
| === jsan is now known as font_ | ||
| ElBast | mikal: yeah, the firmware is distributed in the windows drivers package, you have to copy it into a local directory so it's loaded when the kernel module is loaded | 03:27 |

| _mikal | ElBast, ok | 03:27 |

| Treenaks | _mikal: but I have an USB dump from the windows-program setting up encryption | 03:31 |
| Treenaks | _mikal: so it might be possible to reverse-engineer it | 03:32 |
| _mikal | TdC_VgA, tcp od udp I don't know, but over the internet anyway | 03:32 |

| TdC_VgA | _mikal: what network is this thing for? | 03:32 |
| Treenaks | TdC_VgA: but _mikal is talking about sharing the encryption keys, not the rest.. | 03:32 |

| darkersatanic | I've been using devfs, and more recently udev. | 03:41 |

| Kamion | the installer has its own partitioner, of course | 08:06 |
| mwilson | The installer has a "make one big partition" choice, you mean. | 08:07 |
| topyli | mjr: ubuntu has some ati and nvidia non-free drivers included | 08:07 |

| fdr | Kamion : begin laughing... 32MB, if not less | 08:07 |
| pyramid | topyli, have you ever taken all that medication | 08:08 |
| topyli | that's plenty | 08:08 |
| Kamion | 32MB should be doable, though I haven't tried | 08:08 |
| mjr | topyli, indeed, but I'm going to buy me some hardware and there's a principle involved | 08:08 |
| npmccallum | fdr: you need to step through the language choices before it loads the ide modules | 08:08 |

| pyramid | bur[n] er, i wonder where gentoo gets all those vodoo patches from in the first place | 09:14 |
| bur[n] er | their lead dev is a witch doctor ;) | 09:14 |
| Jemm | I have installed a custom Ubuntu system then added gnome with aptitude. Works fine but there is no window manager under gnome so can't move or resize windows | 09:15 |
| pyramid | bur[n] er, well it is a mystery...that is for sure....so is their bootable CD...it does not appear to be a debian derivative | 09:15 |
| bur[n] er | the gentoo bootable cd? of course not! it's gentoo based ;) | 09:15 |
| pyramid | bur[n] er, well nearly every distro of linux is actually a debian derivative..they all rely on the debian isolinux approach..but gentoo seems unique in this regard | 09:16 |

| Keybuk | dablitz: The package suggests the "kernel-package" package; that lets you build kernels and turn them into packages -- basically you make oldconfig, make menuconfig, fiddle, make-kpkg --initrd --revision custom.1 binary, dpkg -i ../*.deb; but read the documentation that comes with it for full insight | 10:03 |
| will | but its view only | 10:03 |
| Keybuk | though you'll probably find the stock linux kernel images have the driver/feature you need as a module that can be loaded | 10:04 |

| imka | no, seriously. is it worth waiting? cause im excited about buntu but i dont wanna wipe out fedora if therell bepossible problems | 10:47 |
| Iorek | memer it HAS it's own thing, which is guaranteed to work | 10:47 |
| Keybuk | memer: we have our own archive which is based on Debian unstable; every 6 months we take a snapshot of Debian and apply our own bug fixes and patches to it | 10:48 |
| Iorek | and then there's everything Debian has, which is a teensy bit risky :) | 10:48 |
| memer | ok, but it just uses the same apt-get mechanism to get at it | 10:48 |
| Iorek | yep | 10:48 |
| Keybuk | but we also give those same bug fixes and patches back to Debian and upstream | 10:48 |
| Keybuk | (as we apply them, rather than just at releast time) | 10:48 |
| memer | okk (thinking) | 10:48 |
| Iorek | imka in my opinion, it's better. But that's just my opinion. Why don't you use them side by side for a while? | 10:48 |
| imka | so the OFFICIAL ubuntu repo contains the whole debian unstable repo snapshot + ubuntu stuff | 10:48 |

| jde | pyramid, I don't think anyone offers college courses on rocking out, or big bottomed girls. | 11:14 |

| jde | djuuss, you can save session and all the programs will be there when you start up again. | 11:15 |

| |trey| | djuuss: dpkg -P opera though, gets rid of config stuff, so its really gone :) | 11:37 |
| dom | apt-get purge winxp | 11:37 |
| djuuss | ahh the tested-and-proven dpkg --napalm opera! | 11:37 |
| |trey| | dom: that doesn't work, you mean apt-get remove --purge winxp :) | 11:37 |

| jde | Hello. | 11:39 |
| djuuss | it depended on not having networking support exept for AOL | 11:39 |
| nilkram | Question: is there some other place than /boot/menu.lst to add other OS'es to boot? | 11:39 |
| nilkram | my menu.lst get's overwritten now and then... | 11:39 |
| plovs | nilkram: no | 11:39 |
| akra | nilkram: keep a copy ? | 11:39 |
| djuuss | nilkram: don't overwrite it | 11:39 |
| joem | nilkram, how does it get overwritten? | 11:39 |
| jde | nilkram, you should back up your menu.lst before editing it. | 11:39 |
| |trey| | djuuss: blah... upgrade to friend-with-benifits, all the features of girlfriend, without all the bloat :) | 11:40 |
| nilkram | good question how actually. I think it's overwritten by a new kernel package. maybe. | 11:40 |
| jde | http://zero-install.sourceforge.net/ | 11:40 |
| joem | that only edits a section of it | 11:40 |
| nilkram | I meant /boot/grub/menu.lst b.t.w. | 11:40 |
| joem | don't add stuff into the debian automagic section | 11:40 |
| djuuss | |trey|: girlfriend without bloat? whats that? apt-get handjob? | 11:40 |
| jde | You can just get a girl that way without having to commit. | 11:40 |
| nilkram | joem: ah, is that it... thnx. | 11:41 |
| |trey| | djuuss: ahh, no, I already have that feature :/ | 11:41 |

| nilkram | ok. Another question. How can I install restricted modules on AMD64? When I try to pick any the packages (x86_64/K8) synaptic says the module depends on itself and cannot be installed... | 11:45 |
| Iorek | "I don't like young people, but if it was a cime to be sex-obsessed, tone-deaf and totally incomprehensible, we'd have to arrest the whole population of france!" | 11:45 |
| djuuss | have it not check for dependancies? | 11:45 |
| djuuss | fortune? | 11:45 |
| djuuss | hehe my brother did something neat | 11:46 |
| djuuss | he mounted /dev/null to /mnt/the-void | 11:46 |
| nilkram | not checking for depencies wasn't my first preferred choice on a new distrib I'm not used to... :-/ | 11:46 |
| === akra [~ralle@81-6-241-227.dyn.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| djuuss | well if the dependancie is the same package | 11:46 |
| djuuss | what choices do you have | 11:46 |
| djuuss | you already know all it depends on is the package itself | 11:47 |
| akra | is it possible to have an ntfs drive mounted, but not have an icon on the desktop ? | 11:47 |
| djuuss | so you have all other packages | 11:47 |
| |trey| | djuuss: drop it, its lost its humor ;) | 11:47 |
| djuuss | drop what? | 11:47 |
| djuuss | the void thing? | 11:47 |
| djuuss | or you not having a gf? | 11:48 |

| |trey| | akra: it shouldn't even be showing up on desktop... you put it in /etc/fstab right? | 11:48 |
| nilkram | djuuss: there's only one package in the properties depends list in synaptic. itself. | 11:49 |
| |trey| | djuuss: I have no probs in that department ;) | 11:49 |
| djuuss | then its safe not to check for deps | 11:49 |
| jamescube | if i select the smp kernel in synaptic, will it add it as an option to grub and leave the regular kernel instact? | 11:49 |
| akra | trey: yep - in /etc/fstab | 11:49 |
| |trey| | akra: yeah, then I don't see why are you are getting an icon on the desktop... | 11:49 |

| |trey| | djuuss: the gf thing :/ | 11:51 |
| djuuss | i dropped it, you brought it up again :P | 11:51 |
