| punkass_ | defendguin: do you have ndiswrapper-utils installed? | 12:00 |
| defendguin | sabdfl, im doing fine no problems here | 12:00 |
| defendguin | i used ndiswrapper -m to save the config | 12:01 |
| lml | punkass_: maybe the current package is missing the module so the one you allready had installed is still there but not compiled against another version of ndis? | 12:01 |
| defendguin | no i think i just have the wrapper | 12:01 |

| slarti | LinuxJones: I'm following the discussion you're having with swoon and I'm about to install a new kernel. One simple question, though. | 12:04 |
| lml | punkass_: Such a file is not present on my system installing the current ndiswrapper-utils package. Probably why modprobe does not work ;-) | 12:04 |
| defendguin | lml, yeah | 12:05 |
| LinuxJones | swoon, are you running amd64 ? | 12:05 |
| LinuxJones | slarti, sure | 12:05 |
| swoon | LinuxJones: yes I am | 12:05 |
| swoon | why? | 12:05 |
| punkass_ | originally i didnt know there was an ndiswrapper package so installed from the source | 12:05 |
| lml | punkass_: I do not even have a misc directory. | 12:06 |
| defendguin | i installed from source as well | 12:06 |
| defendguin | you should build it for your kernel | 12:06 |
| LinuxJones | swoon, argh someone had a bunch of trouble getting nvidia installed last night. I don't have a 64 so I can't help out sorry :( | 12:06 |
| swoon | LinuxJones: please dont give up on me yet, if I dont get this driver installed I cannot use X at all | 12:06 |
| punkass_ | LinuxJones: there is no 64bit nvidia-glx package...yet | 12:07 |
| lml | defenguin: Ok, so the -utils extension really means everything but the acutal module then? Why then have the package in the first place? | 12:07 |
| slarti | LinuxJones: I just ran apt-get install linux-source and part of the output reads: Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com warty/main linux-source-2.6.8.1 2.6.8.1-12 | 12:07 |
| LinuxJones | swoon, are you using the restricted repository ? | 12:07 |

| LoneTech | are your settings still the same in iwconfig after the attempted ifup? | 12:13 |

| cujosuperfly | are mouse gestures installed by default? | 02:42 |
| cujosuperfly | with firefox | 02:42 |
| === AndyFitz has never used fakeroot | ||
| AndyFitz | cujosuperfly: nope | 02:42 |
| jdub | slarti: using sudo (to root) means you're actually building it as root, fakeroot means you're not. | 02:43 |
| jdub | slarti: fakeroot is waaaay preferable. | 02:43 |
| tseng | fakeroot rocks. | 02:43 |
| cujosuperfly | hmm. i just installed ubuntu the other day and whenever i'm using firefox i get some weird behavior when i move my pointer. i have a laptop, so maybe its a touchpad thing. | 02:44 |
| jdub | cujosuperfly: that'd be due to the synaptic touchpad defaults | 02:44 |

| === swoon_ [~chatzilla@216-161-149-125.tcsn.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| cujosuperfly | my guess is that somehow tapping the touchpad is mapped to the "3rd" mouse button | 02:44 |
| cujosuperfly | jdub - how can i change that | 02:44 |
| jdub | what happens if you type in 'synclient -l'? | 02:44 |
| swoon_ | mdz still there? | 02:45 |
| slarti | jdub: why is fakeroot preferable? | 02:45 |
| nuge | does fakeroot work for you guys when doing a make-kpkg? | 02:45 |
| cujosuperfly | "Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?" | 02:45 |
| jdub | slarti: because it means you're not building stuff as root (which is dangerous) | 02:45 |
| jdub | cujosuperfly: ahr | 02:46 |
| jdub | cujosuperfly: ok, so, in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file | 02:46 |
| cujosuperfly | yeah | 02:46 |
| jdub | under the inputdevice section for your touchpad | 02:46 |
| jdub | add the following line: | 02:46 |
| jdub | Option "SHMConfig" "true" | 02:46 |
| slarti | jdub: dangerous in what way? is it only dangerous during the build process or does it somehow (?) make the program being built more dangerous? | 02:46 |
| jdub | slarti: during the build process -> it could do anything | 02:47 |
| jdub | ie. someone could put rm -rf /dev in their makefile | 02:47 |
| jdub | or worse | 02:47 |

| slarti | jdub: yeah, i see what you mean. i don't yet understand how fakeroot gets around this, but i can figure that out later. i'm building a kernel for a newly installed ubuntu system, so i'm not worried about losing anything. | 02:49 |
| swoon_ | damn it Im trying to install this damn nvidia driver I get this error: The kernel header file '/lib/modules/2.6.8.2-1-amd64-generic/build/include/linux/kernel.h' does not exist. the most likley reason for this is that the kernel source path '/lib/modules/2.blah-generic/build' is incorrect... help please? | 02:49 |
| slarti | swoon_: when do you get that error? | 02:50 |
| swoon_ | slarti when the installer tries to compile the driver... | 02:51 |
| === cujosuperfly [~cfleck@adsl-68-251-155-30.dsl.ipltin.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jdub | slarti: because a) you're building as a user, not root and b) fakeroot tricks everything running underneath it that root-requiring operations have succeeded | 02:52 |
| cujosuperfly | ok jdub, synclient -l gives me stuff. what am i looking for? | 02:52 |
| jdub | swoon_: why aren't you installing the pre-built version? | 02:52 |
| jdub | cujosuperfly: well, i'm not sure which behaviour is biting you, but you can play with all of those now | 02:52 |
| cujosuperfly | awesome | 02:52 |
| tseng | Lathiat: any luck with dashboard? | 02:52 |
| cujosuperfly | thanks | 02:52 |

| LinuxJones | jbub, ahh | 03:01 |

| AndersAA | jgeorgeson: background execution of the script, so you dont need to wait for the dhcp to login. | 03:29 |
| jgeorgeson | AndersAA, look at /etc/network/interfaces. if you take "auto" out of each one they won't try to get a lease. You can also undo the setting with Computer->System Configuration->Networking in gnome | 03:30 |
| AndersAA | yeah... I suppose I could make it on login or something, setup sudo to allow execution without a password of that command | 03:31 |
| cog | oy, punkass_ defendguin i made more. czech 'em out. i only like the top one. | 03:31 |
| jgeorgeson | AndersAA, I miss the RH option to allow users to bring interfaces up or down | 03:31 |
| AndersAA | simple enough to do with sudo, but it'd be nice to have a gui tool for it | 03:32 |
| AndersAA | maybe the wireless monitor could do that... | 03:32 |
| AndersAA | hmm, I could just move stuff around to get gdm to load before networking I suppose | 03:32 |
| jgeorgeson | AndersAA, the applet doesn't at the moment, that I know of. But you can bring interfaces up/down with the config tool I mentioned | 03:32 |
| swoon_ | screw, can anyone help me, I cant get into X because when I do log in the screen gets all messed up can see something there but its all lined up...

| jgeorgeson | AndersAA, there is that. have both interfaces set to not come up on boot. plugging in the pcmcia wifi nic brings it up without me doing anything | 03:33 |

| sri | 2) I think ypbind is broken | 03:35 |
| jgeorgeson | AndersAA, plugging the cable in/out doesn't register for me on the built-in nic, does it work for you? | 03:35 |

| sri | also, since you have no root account, apt-get needs a user, that I don't hav ein my corporate passwd file | 03:38 |
| whiprush | my coworker is really nis smart. I'll find you tomorrow and link you up. | 03:38 |
| sri | whiprush: well, I think it's tihs particular version of ypbind.. | 03:38 |
| sri | whiprush: since it works fine on my debian box | 03:39 |
| whiprush | oh I see | 03:39 |
| jgeorgeson | AndersAA, I'm not familiar with it, but /etc/network has some framework for pre-ifup scripts | 03:39 |
| sri | whiprush: so I think it's ubuntu's ypbind thats broken in particular | 03:39 |
| whiprush | you could always replace it with the debian version. (disclaimer attached) | 03:39 |
| swoon_ | screw, can anyone help me, I cant get into X because when I do log in the screen gets all messed up can see something there but its all lined up...

| clee | burner_: heh. | 03:57 |
| jgeorgeson | burner_, would be nice. but even browsing smb shares with nautilus, i've never seen an app that can open files directly | 03:57 |
| burner_ | supposedly gnomevfs integration will be had in beep-media-player which should allow playing over smb shares without mounting | 03:58 |

| bur[n] er | bye | 04:02 |
| MGS | hehe im about to install ubuntu for the first time (my first linux install also) | 04:02 |
| whiprush | MGS: excellent. | 04:02 |
| bur[n] er | MGS, it's pretty easy as far as linux goes | 04:02 |
| MGS | okay | 04:02 |
| jkg | dammit, I wish ubuntu had been around when I did my first linux install :) | 04:02 |
| MGS | i have one question though | 04:02 |
| MGS | when i install my internet | 04:02 |
| MGS | (pppoe) | 04:02 |
| MGS | is it any harder then with windows | 04:03 |
| bur[n] er | ooh.... pppoe... bleh | 04:03 |
| === whiprush can't answer. my netgear does pppoe for me | ||
| MGS | its verizon dsl | 04:03 |
| MGS | oh | 04:03 |
| MGS | hmmm | 04:03 |
| MGS | i was thinking of hooking up my router | 04:03 |

| bur[n] er | a router is always good for security | 04:04 |
| MGS | yeah | 04:04 |
| yyc747 | does ubuntu use lilo or grub by default? also, if it doesn't use grub by default, how much extra work is involved in setting it up? | 04:04 |
| uxi9000 | grub | 04:04 |
| yyc747 | sweet | 04:04 |
| MGS | grub? lilo? | 04:05 |
| MGS | sorry im a noob | 04:05 |
| yyc747 | bootloader | 04:05 |
| MGS | ooh | 04:05 |
| bur[n] er | grub is good stuff | 04:05 |
| MGS | ok | 04:05 |
| yyc747 | grub is much better imo | 04:05 |
| MGS | ok | 04:05 |
| yyc747 | I think there is even a dos version now | 04:05 |
| yyc747 | my friend used it to boot a knoppix iso before he was ready to take the linux plunge | 04:06 |
| tjk | is there any easy way of "upgrading" from debian, or do I have to go with the "wipe everything" approach? | 04:06 |
| MGS | i used phlak (i guess that was my first linux experience) | 04:06 |
| MGS | which is based off knoppix | 04:06 |
| uxi9000 | where do i config panel properties, ive accidentally made the thing too damn big | 04:06 |
| === dablitz [~da@CPE0050fcd769bd-CM013529902486.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| yyc747 | so, yeah, I'm giving ubuntu a shot. the only thing I don't like so far is the use of xfree86, but that will be changed in the next release | 04:07 |
| MGS | i have no idea what xfree86 is, but okay | 04:07 |
| whiprush | heh | 04:07 |
| uxi9000 | hey yyc747 what are you getting from x.org that you like is it the shit?? | 04:07 |
| whiprush | uxi9000: does right clicking on the panel show the menu? | 04:07 |
| bur[n] er | xorg isn't in debian yet... they're waiting to see if it'll be monolithic or modular | 04:07 |
| yyc747 | xfree86 (and it's new, better fork, xorg) is what allows graphics to be displayed essentially | 04:08 |
| uxi9000 | whiprush, it only gives me the icon properties... | 04:08 |
| yyc747 | uxi9000: I like the license and the faster pace of development. plus, at this point, even if xfree86 were technically superior, i would switch because all of the developers have jumped ship to x.org | 04:08 |
| whiprush | hmmm, maybe you have a launcher on that spot or something | 04:08 |
| jgeorgeson | uxi9000, don't click on an icon | 04:08 |
| uxi9000 | is there a cli command to bring up the config | 04:08 |
| whiprush | uxi9000: right click on an empty spot on the panel | 04:09 |
| dablitz | how do i fix "MP-BIOS BUG: 8254 timer not connected to IO_APIC | 04:09 |
| uxi9000 | thats the problem its so big there doesnt seem to be an empty spot... | 04:09 |
| whiprush | aha | 04:10 |
| whiprush | launch gconf editor. | 04:10 |
| dablitz | I am trying to setup my laptop, and i get this error first | 04:10 |
| whiprush | the go to apps, panel, profiles. | 04:10 |
| yyc747 | so far, my favorite distro is gentoo (and I don't think that will change) but I'm looking for something that is a bit easier and faster for times when I don't want all of the advanced config gentoo has to offer | 04:10 |
| goatboy | uxi9000: click on an applet and hit ctrl-f10 | 04:10 |
| yyc747 | I'm looking for a happy medium between knoppix and pure debian, preferrably with the documentation of gentoo | 04:11 |
| yyc747 | and so far I like what I see | 04:11 |
| MGS | is there any way to setup a login screen on ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| MGS | i dont have it installed | 04:11 |
| MGS | im just wondering | 04:11 |
| joem | it uses gdm by default | 04:11 |
| MGS | gdm? | 04:11 |
| tjk | a login screen | 04:11 |
| MGS | oooh okay | 04:11 |
| MGS | awesome | 04:11 |
| whiprush | hey goatboy you have the new totem-gstreamer stuff handy? | 04:12 |
| yyc747 | btw, does ubuntu need a net connection to set up a basic system (I mean like X+browser+office)? | 04:12 |
| goatboy | whiprush: nope, haven't tried it yet. | 04:12 |
| bur[n] er | yyc747no | 04:12 |
| whiprush | anyone try it yet? | 04:12 |
| bur[n] er | yyc747, no rather | 04:12 |
| yyc747 | bur[n] er: that means I can get my friend to install it on his laptop at school | 04:13 |
| yyc747 | he's looking for the next step from knoppix (which, surprisingly, he has had since yesterday) | 04:13 |
| yyc747 | and I'm trying to steer him away from slack, because I know nothing about it | 04:14 |
| bur[n] er | slack has shitty package management is the only downside | 04:14 |
| yyc747 | bur[n] er: why do you think my favorite distros are debian (-based) and gentoo | 04:15 |
| jgeorgeson | bur[n] er, sack has package management? | 04:15 |
| jgeorgeson | j/k | 04:15 |
| yyc747 | bur[n] er: I need package management | 04:15 |
| bur[n] er | me too... it's why i switched from slack way back when to debian | 04:15 |
| yyc747 | bur[n] er: good package management | 04:15 |
| yyc747 | bur[n] er: or, at the very least, something that can easily remove packages I don't like | 04:16 |

| uxi9000 | ok got gconf open where do i find the panel option in there. | 04:16 |
| uxi9000 | this looks a lot like the registry... | 04:16 |
| bur[n] er | just wish i knew how to make .debs | 04:16 |
| yyc747 | btw, are there many themes for gnome included? the screens I've seen look ugly imo | 04:16 |
| bur[n] er | it's not an easy thing to do when you're not compiling from source... when it's just python scripts | 04:17 |
| yyc747 | bur[n] er: hmm... I've never really looked at how to do that | 04:17 |
| bur[n] er | yyc747, there's a few | 04:17 |
| Chriffer | yyc747, I think its the normal gnome themes + the color scheme ubuntu uses | 04:17 |
| whiprush | uxi9000: clicking on the panel and hitting ctrl-f10 didn't bring the menu up? | 04:17 |
| yyc747 | bur[n] er: because I'm starting to like KDE more and more | 04:17 |
| joem | bur[n] er, http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ | 04:18 |
| joem | read up :) | 04:18 |
| whiprush | yyc747: there's a package, gnome-theme-extras with some more themes | 04:18 |
| yyc747 | whiprush: sounds good | 04:18 |
| yyc747 | whiprush: color schemes also? | 04:18 |
| yyc747 | (in KDE the two are separate) | 04:18 |
| whiprush | don't know what you mean by color schemes | 04:18 |
| whiprush | oh oh | 04:18 |
| uxi9000 | hey whiprush that did it. big thanks. I was not doing all 3 at once. Are you whiprush from ars?? | 04:18 |
| whiprush | no, don't think so. | 04:18 |
| dablitz | how do i fix "MP-BIOS BUG: 8254 timer not connected to IO_APIC" | 04:18 |
| bur[n] er | joem, i've gone through them... i can make .debs when I have to compile a program... hen I just have to make a dpkg entry and put some scripts in a certain location... i'm lost | 04:18 |
| whiprush | uxi9000: heh, goatboy mentioned it a page up. And yes., | 04:18 |
| tjk | I take it there isn't any easy way of upgrading from debian to ubuntu? | 04:19 |
| goatboy | yyc747: in GNOME color schemes are a part of GTK+ themes. | 04:20 |
| yyc747 | I like the versioning scheme... it's shorter than the 2004XXXX type, and more precise than the gentoo 2004.X | 04:20 |
| yyc747 | goatboy: k. I'll experiment with it | 04:20 |

| yyc747 | goatboy: I don't mind that | 04:20 |
| joem | anybody have a good guide for setting up an initrd with chroot | 04:20 |
| tjk | whiprush, is there a doc on it someplace? | 04:20 |
| goatboy | yyc747: not included in gnome-themes-extras, I don't think. | 04:21 |
| goatboy | yyc747: but there are plenty of them out there. | 04:21 |
| whiprush | tjk: you just snag the /etc/apt/sources.list from ubuntu and then apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. | 04:21 |
| whiprush | but don't go reporting odd bugs and whatnot. :) | 04:21 |

| phin | there is a core debian menu | 05:00 |

| phin | that is the master | 05:00 |

| ranman | phin: sorry for the late response... lag... blah... You will find your answer in /var/lib/menu. This is the place that Debian builds the menu from.. plenty of examples.. | 05:01 |
| hazmat | i'm trying to install the mono packages from http://www.getsweaaa.com/~tseng/ubuntu/debs, i'm on a different architecture though and want to build from source, but apt refuses to download the source from that repo.. any ideas why? | 05:01 |
| hazmat | it always goes to the ones in universe | 05:01 |
| tseng | because i didnt upload sources for most of the packages? | 05:02 |
| socomm | phin, use the 'locate' command to find the global config. | 05:02 |
| tseng | since i didnt change them from debian unstable | 05:02 |
| phin | there isnt a menu | 05:02 |
| phin | but there is a menu-xdg | 05:02 |

| hazmat | tseng, so to make packages, you added debian unstable to your sources, did apt-get source for all of the packages, and built and installed each one in the proper depedency order? | 05:05 |
| tseng | yes | 05:05 |

| dablitz | how do i renew my ip address with ubuntu | 05:05 |
| eldados | any 1 knows if the new amd64 daily fixes the problem with x and nvidia 6800? | 05:06 |
| yyc747 | just out of curiosity, I think I'll ask an ubuntu question in #debian and see what happens. The knoppix question I asked this morning produced entertaining results | 05:06 |
| tseng | dont be a troll. | 05:07 |
| yyc747 | me? | 05:07 |
| ranman | phin: update-menus runs from /var/lib/menu and puts the menu in /var/lib/$DM/debian.... | 05:07 |
| ranman | if you edit the menu at /var/lib/$DM/debian then it will be overwritten every time that update-menus is run... | 05:07 |
| tseng | yyc747: yes. | 05:07 |
| ranman | if you add another file to /var/lib/menu then run update menus as root, or user.. | 05:07 |
| yyc747 | yes, I suppose that was a troll | 05:07 |
| hazmat | tseng, lost me there, why would you need mono installed to get the mono packages to compile.. its just c source. ? | 05:07 |
| yyc747 | but it really does reflect my feelings | 05:07 |
| eldados | yyc747, if you really want to have fun, ask it in gentoo... | 05:07 |
| tseng | hazmat: ... | 05:07 |
| clee | hazmat: no, because mono is written in C# | 05:07 |
| dablitz | how do i renew my ip address with ubuntu | 05:07 |
| yyc747 | I've asked lots of non-gentoo questions in gentoo | 05:07 |
| clee | hazmat: so it's a chicken-and-egg problem. | 05:07 |
| phin | ahh ok ranman :) thanks ima give it a try | 05:07 |
| yyc747 | it usually gives me no problem | 05:08 |
| eldados | :) | 05:08 |
| === eldados love gentoo | ||
| yyc747 | and it's not even related | 05:08 |
| yyc747 | tseng: I'm hoping that the ubuntu community will be slightly less rabid | 05:08 |
| tseng | hazmat: you need a mono compiler to build mono | 05:08 |
| eldados | dablitz: are you on dhcp? you will need to restart the service, I think... | 05:09 |
| hazmat | tseng, i still don't see why, you can build mono from source on other platforms without mono installed.. | 05:09 |
| yyc747 | tseng: btw, I'm a big supporter of gentoo so watch what you say (just kidding, I hate all people who are rabidly distro-centric) | 05:09 |
| hazmat | tseng, sure alot of is written in c# .. | 05:09 |
| hazmat | but i never had the issue on say.. gentoo.. i'll take a look | 05:09 |
| tseng | hazmat: ok, since you are the expert. | 05:09 |
| tseng | hazmat: go have at it | 05:09 |
| tseng | mono-mcs depends on mono-assemblies | 05:09 |
| dablitz | and that would be /etc/init.d/dhcp stop? | 05:09 |

| phin | where do i make the changes at? | 05:15 |
| jgeorgeson | how do i tell ubuntu that the hardware clock is not set to gmt? | 05:15 |
| phin | ~/.menu/ ? | 05:15 |
| calc | you can probably override them by overriding them at the .menu stage in /etc/menu (iirc that is where to put them) | 05:15 |
| mojo_ | jgeogre? wat u mean? | 05:15 |
| ranman | phin: that is the wrong place. | 05:16 |
| calc | ~/.menu would be per user as well | 05:16 |
| mojo_ | yes, hey all ppl, there is a question raised for discussion! | 05:17 |
| jgeorgeson | mojo_, the right time zone is listed (CDT), but the clock is 5 hours slow, which leads me to believe it is treating the hardware clock as GMT and subtracting 5 hours from it | 05:17 |
| mojo_ | "Should we adopt Yast?" | 05:17 |
| LeeColleton | jgeorgeson: Computer > System Configuration > Time and Date | 05:17 |
| mojo_ | Yast has been open-sourced, so y not we use it for Ubuntu? | 05:17 |
| calc | yast isn't even open source is it? | 05:17 |
| calc | ah | 05:17 |
| mojo_ | yes, it has | 05:17 |
| LeeColleton | jgeorgeson: set it to sync your clock with an internet server | 05:18 |
| phin | nopw | 05:18 |
| phin | nope | 05:18 |
| phin | still not working | 05:18 |
| mojo_ | Novell has GPL Yast recently | 05:18 |
| mojo_ | using Yast would make Ubuntu easier to admin and install --> head to enterprise market for Ubuntu | 05:18 |
| jgeorgeson | LeeColleton, why can't it be told that the hardware clock isn't set to GMT? every other distro i have used has this option somewhere (during install usually) | 05:19 |
| calc | why not just help finish g-s-t | 05:19 |
| jdub | mojo_: that one's easy... "NO!" :-) | 05:19 |
| jgeorgeson | mojo_, lots of people think Yast is horrid | 05:19 |
| ranman | phin: ~/.menu is the local place to make new menu template files, and global for all users is at /var/lib/menu | 05:19 |
| ranman | follow the example of the other files at /var/lib/menu | 05:20 |
| mojo_ | if u've used SuSE b4, it beat RedHat, Mandrake very far | 05:20 |
| phin | right | 05:20 |
| phin | i made a change to one of thouse | 05:20 |
| calc | ranman: er there is no /var/lib/menu, it appears /etc/menu is the global location | 05:20 |
| Jaramin | i'm going nuts doing sudo all the time... is it safe to add myself to the root group (safe as in: will it cause ownership problems to files) | 05:20 |
| mojo_ | the weak point of GNOME is poor and discrete config tool | 05:20 |
| phin | and it changed it back when i did update-menus | 05:20 |
| mojo_ | Yast is the solution for it | 05:21 |
| jgeorgeson | mojo_, i disagree. i think monolithic admin tools like yast and drakconf are terrible. i think RH has the best admin tools | 05:21 |
| jdub | mojo_: the problem is that yast is very heavily suse based, would require a huge amount of effort to port (you're welcome to start), and is not regarded as 'optimal' | 05:21 |
| calc | mojo_: but does yast have a clean design for frontend/backend, etc? | 05:21 |
| calc | otherwise just extending g-s-t would be much easier | 05:21 |
| tseng | yast is also very suse specific | 05:22 |
| tseng | obviously. | 05:22 |
| mojo_ | calc: yes, Yast got X, GNOME and Qt backend - very nice - I will spend more time on the Yast port project - need to collect more geeks | 05:22 |
| jgeorgeson | mojo_, they have a dedicated tool for each task which, and the tools don't require any special massaging to edit the config files by hand, like yast does | 05:22 |
| LeeColleton | jgeorgeson: there's probably a better way to do this, but you can edit the file '/etc/default/rcS' to set UTC=no | 05:22 |
| phin | hmm | 05:22 |
| phin | no luck still :( | 05:22 |
| calc | mojo_: that is frontend, the backend is how you rewrite the tools to work with different dists, etc | 05:22 |
| calc | http://www.gnome.org/projects/gst/ | 05:22 |
| mojo_ | jgeorgreson: I understand u, but for some newcommer, Linux is hell-hard, with me, I dun even need Yast, but pls think about end-users not geek-users | 05:23 |

| jgeorgeson | mojo_, no idea | 05:26 |
| AndyFitz | grue_, alot of the time I load nautilus --browser as root from terminal and set permissions | 05:27 |
| mojo_ | change topic | 05:27 |
| grue_ | is that a command line erm, command: "nautilus --browser" | 05:27 |
| joem | easier to just set them from the command line.. | 05:28 |
| grue_ | OK, I was hoping there was an easier way to get write access to all these config files... | 05:28 |
| joem | grue_, oh dead | 05:28 |
| joem | er dear | 05:29 |
| joem | use sudo | 05:29 |
| joem | don't change the perms on all of the config files | 05:29 |
| AndyFitz | um kinda ...its just an option when loading nautilus | 05:29 |
| grue_ | How do I do that from nautilus? | 05:29 |
| LeeColleton | grue_: the idea behind restricting those permissions is that ordinary users WON'T go mucking about with them | 05:29 |
| AndyFitz | sudo -s; nautilus --browser | 05:29 |
| grue_ | I have been changing them back, I'm not a total TOTAL noob | 05:29 |
| ranman | calc: phin: oops, I was wrong about the location... "/usr/lib/menu" take a look at the package menu.. "dpkg -L menu" | 05:29 |
| LeeColleton | grue_: which permissions do you want to change, and why? | 05:29 |
| joem | uh, so just use sudo to edit them | 05:29 |
| joem | rather then changing the perms | 05:30 |
| joem | editing them and then changing back | 05:30 |

| whiprush | ie. no priviledges. | 05:45 |
| Jaramin | LeeColletonL: is running as root under linux any worse than running as an admin on windows? if the answer is no, then that's fine with me :) | 05:45 |
| joem | running as admin on an infected windows machine, no :) | 05:45 |
| grue_ | Thats the secure and correct way to do things. If you have ZERO linux experience do stuff as root, mess it up and then fix it | 05:45 |

| phlaegel | k | 05:48 |
| phlaegel | won't compile for me | 05:48 |
| joem | Jaramin, then just have the files open with gksudo gedit if you feel that way | 05:48 |
| joem | if that is possible, something like that is possible | 05:49 |
| joem | could just add a 1 line nautilus script if not | 05:49 |
| LeeColleton | Jaramin: the great thing about owning a computer is you can do whatever you want to with it. If running the system as root makes sense to you, by all means; learn your lessons the hard way. It won't, however, become a feature of Ubuntu (which has the root account disabled by default). | 05:50 |
| grue_ | OK, so tomboy is a notetaking application that runs with mono??? | 05:50 |
| phlaegel | yep | 05:50 |
| phlaegel | it's like a personal wiki | 05:50 |
| phlaegel | with some cool stuff planned | 05:50 |
| joem | phlaegel, what is in cvs that isn't in the release that makes it worth using | 05:50 |
| Jaramin | joem: yeah, well that's waht I did with the shortcut to nautilus, but that effectively *makes* me root, so when I trash stuff, it goes into root's trash, not mine... see where I'm going? | 05:50 |
| grue_ | cool, how does one get Mono running? | 05:50 |
| joem | Jaramin, no it doesn't | 05:50 |
| joem | why would you trash config files anyways | 05:51 |
| defendguin | grue_, good idea would be to get a repository with mono apps in it | 05:51 |
| whiprush | phlaegel: all works for me, fresh from cvs | 05:51 |
| phlaegel | joem: I'd like to try and contribute back. Hard to do if it won't build. | 05:51 |
| joem | ah | 05:51 |
| grue_ | how do I get a different repository? | 05:51 |
| joem | phlaegel, what does the compile fail on? | 05:51 |
| phlaegel | whiprush: hm | 05:51 |
| phlaegel | using tseng's mono source? | 05:51 |
| whiprush | yep | 05:52 |
| grue_ | I uncommented the universe lines for that synaptic thing | 05:52 |
| joem | grue_, read the faq on the wiki | 05:52 |
| grue_ | OK | 05:52 |
| joem | has a section about mono | 05:52 |
| grue_ | sorry | 05:52 |
| phlaegel | it complains that it's missing Mono.Posix, which makes no sense, since that's part of mono. | 05:52 |
| joem | at the bottom | 05:52 |
| whiprush | deb http://www.getsweaaa.com/~tseng/ubuntu/debs/ ./ | 05:52 |
| whiprush | you want to add that to your sources.list grue_ | 05:52 |
| WW_ | Could someone give me a brief summary of the difference between "Mark for Removal" and "Mark for Complete Removal" in Synaptic? | 05:52 |
| joem | phlaegel, you have all of the mono dev packages installed? | 05:53 |
| whiprush | WW_: complete removal removes the config files also | 05:53 |
| whiprush | like a purge | 05:53 |
| grue_ | whiprush, which sources.list do I add it to? | 05:53 |
| whiprush | /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:53 |
| joem | /etc/apt/sources.lst | 05:53 |
| grue_ | I did a file search and theres a bunch of them | 05:53 |
| whiprush | then apt-get update | 05:53 |
| phlaegel | joem: as far as I can tell, unless it's named something I haven't though to search on. | 05:53 |
| Jaramin | LeeColleton: I don't want it to be feature :P Being a small business admin, I certainly do understand the user/root model and it's purpose (keeping the admin sane, lol). It's just that I thought that it was possible to create or grant privileges to a particular user so that he would becone some sort of second root | 05:54 |
| joem | Jaramin, that is what sudo is | 05:54 |
| joem | having root privs but not running as root | 05:54 |
| whiprush | grue_: after you apt-get update, then mono and everything in that repo will be available to you. | 05:55 |
| joem | if you plan on running gnome and net apps as root, better expect lots of trouble | 05:55 |
| LeeColleton | Jaramin: you can run 'sudo visudo' to give additional users root-level access | 05:56 |
| === q2 [~q2@dhcp024-209-106-036.woh.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| q2 | hey all | 05:57 |
| Jaramin | joem: it does, try it. I have changed my nautilus shortcut by adding gksudo. with that, I can open a nautilus window that will allow me to edit files right on the spot by double cliking. but, let's say I change folder from that window, and go delete some log files. well they end up in root's trash. | 05:57 |
| joem | you don't run nautilus as root | 05:57 |
| joem | you open the files with gksudo | 05:58 |
| Jaramin | LeeColleton: ah, now that sounds interesting! | 05:58 |
| joem | so you right click on a config file, and run a nautilus script that opens gedit or whatever with gksudo | 05:58 |
| joem | then you can edit the file and save it, no problem | 05:58 |
| whiprush | I see what you need Jaramin | 05:59 |
| whiprush | you need "Run As" on the desktop | 05:59 |
| grue_ | whiprush: do I need that "./" at the end of the line? It's giving me a 404 | 05:59 |
| whiprush | grue_: lemme try | 05:59 |
| whiprush | yeah | 05:59 |
| whiprush | deb http://www.getsweaaa.com/~tseng/ubuntu/debs/ ./ | 06:00 |
| whiprush | that's what I have and it works | 06:00 |

| whiprush | phlaegel: so what error were you getting? | 06:00 |
| grue_ | doh, I miss-typed it | 06:00 |
| LeeColleton | Jaramin: sudo can be extensively configured, allowing certain users access to certain commands. This is beyond the needs of most personal computer systems, which probably have one owner/administrator and maybe a few casual users. | 06:01 |

| Jaramin | LeeColleton: hmm, does sudo visudo just allows other user to use sudo? | 06:02 |
| === grue_ is now known as sopwath | ||
| whiprush | you can add any user to the sudoers group | 06:02 |
| ionrock | hello all, does anyone have any experience with recompiling the kernel on a laptop? | 06:03 |
| whiprush | so, like, at work, for example .... | 06:03 |
| === ionrock means for a laptop... | ||
| joem | ionrock, same as doing it on any other machine | 06:03 |
| whiprush | you can have three admins in the group for a file server or whatever. | 06:03 |
| === Lord_Shadow [~Lord_Shad@ip68-98-58-176.ph.ph.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| whiprush | but, they all use their own passwords to get super user privs. | 06:03 |
| whiprush | so, when you fire admin #3, you just remove him from the group | 06:04 |
| whiprush | instead of the old way | 06:04 |
| whiprush | "hey everyone, new root password!" | 06:04 |
| ionrock | joem, the reason I ask is b/c I did it the other day and it wouldn't load b/c it couldn't find an initrd image. I think it is used to make sure the pcmcia bus starts up | 06:04 |
| phlaegel | whiprush: complains that Mono.Posix can't be found, but the dll is there | 06:04 |
| joem | ionrock, if you are using ubuntu, try running update grub | 06:04 |
| joem | er update-grub | 06:05 |
| whiprush | you sure you don't have some old compiled version in /usr/local? | 06:05 |
| ionrock | I needed to try and get my suspend working so I am messing with the kernel to get it going but I am thinking I need to make a initrd image | 06:05 |
| ionrock | joem, I did that before but to no avail | 06:05 |
| phlaegel | whiprush: version of what? | 06:05 |
| joem | did you try to just reinstall the kernel image package | 06:05 |
| whiprush | mono? | 06:05 |
| phlaegel | ls /usr/local/ | 06:05 |
| joem | it should put the initrd in /boot | 06:05 |
| phlaegel | /usr/local is empty. the only mono installing is from tseng | 06:06 |
| whiprush | hmm | 06:06 |
| === yusufg [~yusufg@210-177-227-130.outblaze.com] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| LeeColleton | Jaramin: visudo is just a vi session that locks the file /etc/sudoers | 06:06 |
| ionrock | joem, since I couldn't include the suspend to disk stuff it wouldn't really do me much good ;) | 06:06 |
| whiprush | have you installed monodevelop or some other gtk# app? maybe your missing some dep. | 06:06 |
| phlaegel | whiprush: I just realized mono.posix isn't the first error... it's the line before it. still not sure why. | 06:06 |
| phin | learning vim is fun | 06:06 |
| phin | lol | 06:06 |
| whiprush | phlaegel: pastebin the whole thing | 06:07 |
| Jaramin | whiprush: the computer will only be used by me, it's my home computer. The "run as" an idea, but still tedious... is it possible *at all* in linux for a user different than root, from the moment they log on, to be able to access any file as root would through the GUI? that's what I want to know. | 06:07 |
| sopwath | Thanks for the help everyone, I really appreciate it. | 06:07 |
| joem | Jaramin, no, not without using sudo | 06:07 |
| phlaegel | whiprush: http://pastebin.com/108320 | 06:08 |
| joem | you won't be the only person using the box if you start to run net apps as root either | 06:08 |
| ionrock | Jaramin, you could add your user to the root group... but I am thinking that is not a good idea | 06:08 |
| whiprush | Jaramin: I swear to you man, after you install, you'll need root access like, 5% of the time. Really. | 06:08 |
| Jaramin | joem: *deception* | 06:09 |
| === ionrock nods to whiprush | ||
| joem | Jaramin, not quite | 06:09 |
| phin | i wouldnt do it | 06:09 |
| phin | just install sudo | 06:09 |
| LeeColleton | Jaramin: yes, but that totally defeats the "as needed" approach to system access. the sudo utility goes a long way to bridge this gap between usablility and security. | 06:09 |
| phin | then all you have todo is hit sudo to do something as root | 06:09 |
| Jaramin | whiprush: not really, I'll be changing config files dayly, trying stuff, testing stuff... | 06:10 |
| phlaegel | Jaramin: it seems like you should just try using things for a while as it comes. the things your asking for are either bad ideas or would just not work well. | 06:10 |
| phin | you will regret running 100% as root | 06:10 |
| phin | when you remove something accidently | 06:10 |
| phin | that you dont want to | 06:10 |
| LeeColleton | by the way, "sudo -s" opens a shell session with root access | 06:10 |
| whiprush | Jaramin: you can do 90% of that as a user. | 06:10 |
| phin | yep | 06:10 |
| whiprush | I swear, I do it every day | 06:10 |
| phin | i enabled my root account on ubuntu, but that was just from using it as habit | 06:10 |
| phin | i havent actually used it once in the last week or so | 06:10 |
| phlaegel | just open a root shell, or better, a normal shell, sudo vi blah, and leave it open while you work on it. | 06:10 |
| phin | just so used to sudo | 06:10 |
| phin | plus ive added sudo to a few servers i like it so much :) | 06:11 |
| whiprush | phlaegel: k, asking people smarter than me, sec. | 06:11 |
| ionrock | I can't even apt-cache without sudo just b/c I so used to "sudo apt-get..." | 06:11 |
| phin | i dont even think my system resembles anything of a ubuntu install anymore | 06:13 |
| phin | its totally changed | 06:13 |
| LeeColleton | Why oh why does apt-get invariably get an error when accessing archive.ubuntu.com for the first time? The error is gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file | 06:13 |

| ionrock | I was getting that b/c I didn't comment out the standard non-universe lines in my sources.list | 06:14 |
| whiprush | phlaegel: yeah something is up because I'm building stuff right after your line 7. all the way down, yours is skipping something. | 06:14 |
| whiprush | libgconf-cil installed? | 06:14 |
| phlaegel | that's because that's not the first run of make | 06:14 |
| phlaegel | yep | 06:14 |

| LeeColleton | defendguin: is gaim-vv the encryption capable version? | 06:17 |
| phin | i mean i know its part of ubuntu | 06:17 |
| phin | but like i said | 06:17 |
| phlaegel | start removing that stuff, you're removing all the cool stuff ubuntu does now and will do. | 06:17 |
| joem | gaim-encryption is a seperate package | 06:17 |
| phin | this system isnt even ubuntu anymore | 06:17 |
| phin | lol | 06:17 |

| mooj | i needed build essential | 06:28 |
| phlaegel | interestingly, I have no gdk packages installed at all, but older tomboy cvs *did* build. | 06:28 |
| mooj | that should be a default installed package | 06:28 |
| mooj | if there are any ubuntu devs in the room | 06:29 |
| joem | mooj, lots of people don't need them | 06:29 |
| mooj | i dont see how | 06:29 |
| phlaegel | not really, the majority of ubuntu's target audience does not need dev tools | 06:29 |
| LeeColleton | joem: I'm not sure, so.. probably not. I have a slew of mono packages installed from somewhere. | 06:29 |
| mooj | well to compile source | 06:29 |
| joem | ubuntu provides a binary desktop | 06:29 |
| mooj | there are so many packages that arent in apt | 06:29 |
| mooj | or rpm | 06:29 |
| phlaegel | average people do not compile source. they've never even heard of it. | 06:29 |
| joem | average users are fine with what is offered | 06:29 |
| joem | if you are compiling stuff from source, you move into the should know what you are doing group | 06:30 |
| WW_ | Does an average user need vim? | 06:30 |
| phlaegel | average is the wrong word. I think 'most' is the right word. | 06:30 |
| mooj | with linux being the way it is presently, c dev tools are a must, i'm using gcc right now to compile webcam support for gaim | 06:30 |
| mooj | this is something a normal user would use | 06:30 |
| phlaegel | WW_: no, but it's a valuable system tool that is far more likely to be needed than a compiler. | 06:30 |
| joem | WW_, need to have some sort of cli editor incase something goes wrong and you need to trouble shoot | 06:30 |
| mooj | yeah you need a console text editor | 06:31 |
| ionrock | I remember when I made the effor to go from "average" to "power" and it was nice to have a little success at first | 06:31 |
| mooj | what would you do if you screwed you x conf | 06:31 |
| phlaegel | mooj: a normal user would never think "hm, in order to use my webcam, I'll have to find the source and compile a driver" | 06:31 |
| mooj | exactly | 06:31 |
| ionrock | I compile bluefish and it was pretty thrilling ;) | 06:31 |
| WW_ | How many editors are installed by default? (Just curious.) | 06:31 |
| mooj | but linux being the way it is currently | 06:31 |
| mooj | you need to have them there | 06:31 |
| joem | I haven't had to compile anything yet | 06:31 |
| phlaegel | no you don't. and you don't progress by doing things the way you've always done them. | 06:32 |
| whiprush | guys, there's like 13,000 packages available via universe. | 06:32 |
| joem | accept gaim once to get the headers.. | 06:32 |
| whiprush | that's like ... all of them | 06:32 |
| mooj | unless ubuntu has a team of people going out there and finding every lib they can and compiling them and adding them to apt | 06:32 |
| LeeColleton | whiprush: gaim-encryption isn't in there ;-) | 06:32 |
| mooj | you need gcc | 06:32 |
| joem | LeeColleton, I bet if you look around you could find a deb for it | 06:32 |
| phlaegel | I think the only thing I've compiled on ubuntu so far is tomboy, just because I want to see if I can contribute. not an average user kind of thing. | 06:32 |
| defendguin | there are a lot of projects that arnt there | 06:32 |
| whiprush | LeeColleton: heh, there is a .deb, but not in debian either. | 06:33 |
| defendguin | i think gnomefiles.org should start buidling debs and rpms of every package | 06:33 |
| LeeColleton | joem: yes, one that I had to forceably install and it caused all sorts of error messages every time I ran apt-get | 06:33 |
| phlaegel | <average user> encryption? I just want to talk to my friends!!!!1 | 06:33 |
| phlaegel | s/to/2/g ;-) | 06:33 |
| LeeColleton | phlaegel: I agree that state of mind pervades many computer users, but it's one that can and should change. | 06:34 |
| Treenaks | phlaegel: just show them ethereal output from when they're chatting | 06:34 |
| phlaegel | no, it shouldn't. people want to *use* computers, not *manage* them. | 06:34 |
| Treenaks | phlaegel: "I can read what you're saying" | 06:34 |
| mooj | to help move linux along | 06:34 |
| phlaegel | <average user> so? I don't have anything to hide | 06:34 |
| joem | best sort of encryption, c u l8 | 06:35 |
| mooj | i think sourceforge and freshmeat should require their project to product packages | 06:35 |
| mooj | either rpm or apt | 06:35 |
| Treenaks | phlaegel: Ah, so you don't lock the door when you go to the toilet? | 06:35 |
| joem | mooj, why, because they feel like wasting the extra disk space | 06:35 |
| phlaegel | heh... I didn't say it was my arguement... | 06:35 |
| ranman | mooj: Is there a patch for gaim that is from the gaim-vv that you know of? | 06:35 |
| joem | ranman, no | 06:35 |
| Treenaks | phlaegel: I know, it's just that for every 'common user' statement there's a counterargument | 06:35 |
| defendguin | ranman, you just have to get gaim-vv | 06:35 |
| Treenaks | phlaegel: "Would you write this on a postcard?" is a nice one ;) | 06:36 |
| phlaegel | true, and the average users don't care. I've tried. | 06:36 |
| defendguin | and i havent seen a deb for it yet | 06:36 |
| phlaegel | ok, most average users. some get it with good explanations. | 06:36 |
| mooj | ranman: gaim-vv.sourceforge.net/download.html | 06:36 |
| Treenaks | phlaegel: but I agree, it should be as automatic as possible | 06:36 |
| joem | wouldn't write it on a postcard, but wouldn't go out of my way incase some random person happens to be waiting with a packet scanner running either | 06:37 |
| joem | takes a lot of work to spy on some random persons boring conversation | 06:37 |
| phlaegel | Treenaks: which is why I like ubuntu so much so far. they seem to be on the same wavelength as me. :-) | 06:37 |
| Treenaks | phlaegel: same here :) | 06:37 |
| WW_ | I am updating hal (using Synaptic), and now it says that /etc/dbus-1/event.d/hal has been modified "by you or by a script" | 06:37 |
| joem | WW_, means the the new package contains a different config file then what is already there | 06:38 |
| joem | you probably want to update it, as most users wouldn't change that file for any reason | 06:38 |
| WW_ | I don't think I ever modified it. | 06:38 |
| ranman | mooj: yes, I have gaim-vv at /usr/local & gaim at /usr... Just annoying to switch back and forth.. | 06:38 |
| WW_ | Right | 06:38 |
| joem | ranman, why do you need to switch back and forth | 06:38 |
| joem | can't you just use wv? | 06:38 |
| ranman | maybe I will make my own patch. | 06:38 |
| WW_ | joem: So "Install the package maintainer's version" is probably the correct choice? | 06:39 |
| whiprush | phlaegel: so your tomboy working now? | 06:39 |
| ranman | maybe I did not compile correctly, gaim-vv has no sound and icons (chatbuddy icons).. | 06:39 |
| phlaegel | still digging | 06:39 |
| joem | WW_, yea | 06:39 |
| whiprush | k | 06:39 |
| joem | ranman, it should have what ever gaim had at the point of the fork | 06:40 |
| joem | I know it had sound :) | 06:40 |
| Treenaks | joem: isn't gaim-vv feending the changes back into the main gaim tree? | 06:40 |
| ranman | hmmm, recheck my compile options.. It is annoying to not have sound and minimized window.. | 06:40 |
| joem | Treenaks, only the features they want | 06:40 |
| Treenaks | joem: don't they want webcam support? | 06:41 |
| joem | I don't think they want a (from what I hear) buggy video patch | 06:41 |
| ranman | Treenaks: I think that they are waiting for the ability to send your webcam.. | 06:41 |
| ranman | ayttc has both, and using the same library.. But it is ugly as hell.. | 06:42 |
| LeeColleton | so which gtk-sharp package do I need to compile tomboy? | 06:42 |
| phlaegel | didn't libgtk-cil work? | 06:43 |
| LeeColleton | libgtk-cil?? | 06:43 |
| LeeColleton | edd: Couldn't find package libgtk-cil | 06:43 |
| LeeColleton | edd: oops, nevermind | 06:43 |
| whiprush | phlaegel: you try building ifolder recently perchance? | 06:44 |
| WW_ | That was weird. Why would an upgrade (in Synaptic) start a couple file browsers? | 06:44 |
| phlaegel | haven't tried it yet | 06:44 |
| phlaegel | whiprush: does it even work yet? ;-) | 06:44 |
| whiprush | I have it sort of working | 06:45 |
| phlaegel | heh | 06:45 |
| WW_ | ...one in /home, and one in / | 06:45 |
| LeeColleton | where is the libgtk-cil package? | 06:45 |
| === linux_mafia [~max@202-0-43-128.adsl.paradise.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| phlaegel | WW_: it's because of the hal upgrade/restart, afaik | 06:45 |
| whiprush | I'm positive it's a pebkac error though. At that ohiolinux thing the novell guy was using it, and NLD releases this month. So if it's not working then I must have messed something up. | 06:45 |
| phlaegel | LeeColleton: I got it from the tseng's source along with the other mono stuff | 06:46 |
| whiprush | problem is, I haven't run into anyone that has gotten it working yet | 06:46 |
| LeeColleton | phlaegel: got it | 06:46 |
| phlaegel | seems like ifolder could be really handy if it got integrated nicely into gnome (or other environments/filers) | 06:46 |
| WW_ | phlaegel: Is it _supposed_ to do that? Or is it a bug? | 06:46 |
| linux_mafia | whiprush, what you trying to get working? | 06:46 |
| whiprush | phlaegel: it has nautilus integration | 06:46 |
| mooj | gdk isnt in apt? | 06:46 |
| whiprush | linux_mafia: ifolder | 06:46 |
| linux_mafia | oh, ok | 06:47 |
| phlaegel | WW_: probably a minor bug. when hal restarts, gnome-volume-manager notices a bunch of new devices and opens them... | 06:47 |
| phlaegel | whiprush: is it *good* nautilus integration? | 06:47 |
| whiprush | yeah | 06:47 |
| whiprush | you right click on the folder | 06:47 |
| whiprush | click share | 06:47 |
| whiprush | add users | 06:47 |
| mooj | gdk isnt in apt? | 06:47 |
| whiprush | done and done | 06:47 |
| phlaegel | nice | 06:47 |
| LeeColleton | phlaegel: now it's complaining there is no gnome-sharp package.. what would this be called? libgnome-something-or-other? | 06:47 |
| phlaegel | what about connecting to shares started by someone else? | 06:48 |
| whiprush | dunno, it's hard to follow | 06:48 |
| mooj | gnome sharp is in a seperate repository | 06:48 |
| phlaegel | LeeColleton: probably libgnome-cil | 06:48 |
| whiprush | they don't update a changelong in cvs. you have to scan every single commit | 06:48 |
| phlaegel | oh, that's handy | 06:48 |
| LeeColleton | phlaegel: so it is. Is there a list of these packages somewhere? | 06:49 |
| phlaegel | search for cil in synaptic | 06:49 |
| phlaegel | cil == Common Language Infrastructure (aka the core of .net) | 06:49 |

| yuri | I have NEC DVD+RW connected to my ubuntu pc through firewire but I dont see an icon for it like I see for usb devices. what is wrong? | 06:51 |
| LeeColleton | phlaegel: I got tomboy compiled. Thanks for your help! | 06:52 |
| yuri | (sorry, I am not sure if this is the right channel for this kind of post) | 06:53 |
| phin | is hal pretty cpu intensive? | 06:53 |
| phlaegel | np. now help me. ;-) | 06:53 |
| phin | like, is it constantly scanning? | 06:53 |
| whiprush | I think it works on interrupts | 06:53 |
| whiprush | but I don't know anything about anything | 06:53 |
| phlaegel | phin: I think it just updates based on hotplug events | 06:53 |
| whiprush | so I have no idea | 06:53 |
| phin | ok | 06:53 |
| phin | thats what i figured | 06:53 |
| phin | i got this laptop running pretty speedy :) | 06:53 |
| phlaegel | or probably the new kernel events stuff | 06:53 |
| whiprush | yuri: do you know if your kernel detects the drive? | 06:54 |
| phin | 100% custom gtk and flux themes as well :) | 06:54 |
| whiprush | ie check /var/log/syslog and see if it mentions the drive? | 06:54 |
| phlaegel | whiprush: I can't find any packages that you have that make a difference... I'm going to post on the tomboy mailing list. | 06:54 |
| yuri | how can I find out about that? | 06:54 |
| whiprush | k | 06:54 |
| whiprush | yuri: do this | 06:55 |
| phlaegel | thanks for trying :-) | 06:55 |
| yuri | ok. let me check | 06:55 |
| linux_mafia | whiprush, did you install ifolder from cvs or alien the rpms? i couldnt see src files, but i am half blind :) | 06:55 |
| whiprush | open up a terminal. then do 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' | 06:55 |
| whiprush | then plug in the drive | 06:55 |
| whiprush | if it detects it, it should spit out a bunch of stuff | 06:55 |
| whiprush | linux_mafia: both. | 06:56 |
| whiprush | I don't think they do source tarballs | 06:56 |
| whiprush | they have a cvs though | 06:56 |
| whiprush | sec | 06:56 |
| whiprush | http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/cvs/cvspage.php/ifolder/ <--- cvs intructions | 06:56 |
| linux_mafia | whiprush, nah im looking at the site, couldnt see tars, but just thought id check with you | 06:56 |
| linux_mafia | whiprush, did aliened rpms work ? | 06:57 |
| yuri | whitprush: yes, it does! | 06:57 |
| whiprush | depends on the build linux_mafia. Usually they do | 06:57 |
| whiprush | as in work I mean "a gui launches and stuff." | 06:58 |
| whiprush | I haven't gotten it to sync with another machine though | 06:58 |
| linux_mafia | whiprush, ok, been meaning to check out ifolder for a while | 06:58 |
| whiprush | yuri: can you /msg me what it says please? | 06:58 |
| whiprush | just cut and paste | 06:58 |
| whiprush | linux_mafia: I can't get it working in windows either. :-/ | 06:59 |
| whiprush | and that's just a .exe. | 06:59 |
| calc | clee: what is the proper way to upgrade fc3 since up2date doesn't work right? yum or something like that? | 07:00 |
| linux_mafia | whiprush, bummer | 07:00 |
| clee | calc: yeah. yum update. | 07:00 |
| calc | ok | 07:00 |

| hazmat | samurai, because its trying to be sensible | 07:11 |

| === LeeColleton sheepishly goes away | ||
| ranman | haha | 07:13 |
| samurai | oh just curious it seems that regardless of the compatibility with the freedesktop menuing specicifcation that it is limiting to not include then in some type of menu | 07:13 |
| phlaegel | no silly root permissions to install to ~/local. (that's something I've only been doing since switching back to debian, btw. on gentoo I'd just make my own ebuild) | 07:13 |
| whiprush | clee/calc: so what brings you gents here? working with canonical or what? | 07:13 |
| joem | samurai, what doesn't it include in the menu that is important? | 07:14 |
| ranman | I miss my debian menu... Where is the freedesktop compatibility? | 07:14 |
| clee | whiprush: ha. no. I work for Red Hat, dude. | 07:14 |
| defendguin | woo hoo redhat | 07:14 |
| clee | whiprush: I have to keep an eye on our competition so that we can crush them easier. ;) | 07:14 |
| whiprush | clee: yeah I know ... | 07:14 |
| joem | ranman, applications use .desktop files that are used for placing menu entrys and now mime types | 07:14 |
| whiprush | happy community and all that. :p | 07:14 |
| ranman | The only integration tha I have seen of the menu is kde control center in the root of my menu.. confusing first time click.. | 07:14 |
| samurai | well, important to one isn't necessarily important to another joem... for instance including mahjong isn't important for someone that doesn't play it, yet scribus could be really important if you want to do desktop publishing type stuff | 07:15 |
| joem | write the scribus author and tell him about the standards | 07:15 |
| clee | whiprush: I'm kidding. daniels is a good friend of mine and works for Canonical. And I love Debian distros. | 07:15 |
| clee | whiprush: I run all RHEL and Fedora Core at work | 07:16 |
| joem | it is easy for packages to add a .desktop file, probably just need to be made aware of it | 07:16 |
| clee | and all ubuntu at home :) | 07:16 |
| whiprush | clee: yeah I know. No need to explain to me. I dig your guy's work. | 07:16 |
| samurai | ok i'm confused, what does the standards have to do with it.... doesn't being included in the menu just invoke the program... how does it differ from running from the commandline? | 07:16 |
| === FUF [fuf@ithilien.starshadow.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| clee | whiprush: heh. yeah, walters rules. :) | 07:17 |
| joem | samurai, if they want it to be included in the menu, they need to install a .desktop file to /usr/share/applications | 07:17 |
| calc | clee: after reading the rpm guide rpm doesn't seem so bad, just different vs deb ;) | 07:17 |
| whiprush | I don't hate rpm. | 07:17 |
| joem | that was the problem wasn't it, that there was no menu entry for it? | 07:17 |
| clee | calc: meh. it's not that RPM as a package format is bad, it's just that it seems like most of the packages suck. | 07:17 |
| calc | clee: yea | 07:18 |
| whiprush | people just compare rpm to apt, which is dumb. We'd be just as broken if we were installing .debs by hand all day | 07:18 |
| phlaegel | I don't think I've had a good yum experience yet. | 07:18 |
| samurai | joem: so then the menus are basically autogenerated based on the file in the /usr/share/applications directory? | 07:18 |
| clee | whiprush: well, part of the problem is that there isn't nearly as nice of a separation with RPM as there is with the dpkg utils | 07:18 |
| === whiprush nods | ||
| joem | samurai, yes | 07:18 |
| calc | whiprush: well rpm the format does have some limitations and doesn't have someone backing it like eg deb == debian (with debian policy) etc | 07:18 |
| clee | RPM is much more monolithic - One Command to Rule Them All | 07:18 |
| joem | look at a .desktop file in that dir for an example | 07:18 |
| samurai | how does debian deal with this under there implementation of gnome? | 07:18 |
| linux_mafia | and what of apt4rpm? you guys thinks thats good? | 07:19 |
| joem | they might add those files to packages that don't have them | 07:19 |
| whiprush | yeah, but 90% of people whining about RPM is some dude downloading from Joe's Cool RPMs for some wrong version and wondering why it's broken | 07:19 |
| joem | have never used debian | 07:19 |
| whiprush | fc should abstract rpm from the user more. | 07:19 |
| === joem hates joe cool | ||
| clee | whiprush: totally. | 07:19 |
| calc | samurai: the menu itself isn't generated but the items in subsections are | 07:19 |
| whiprush | "dude, just use yum/whatever." | 07:19 |
| samurai | joem: to bad.... oh well | 07:19 |
| calc | er that didn't come out quite right | 07:19 |
| samurai | calc: is there documentation on this somewhere? | 07:19 |
| linux_mafia | always thought it was odd that connectiva was the first to make an apt/rpm package | 07:20 |
| calc | the sections in the menu are hardcoded really but they state which categories go in each | 07:20 |
| whiprush | linux_mafia: apt4rpm works great | 07:20 |
| calc | samurai: freedesktop.org | 07:20 |
| joem | http://freedesktop.org/Standards/menu-spec | 07:20 |
| calc | samurai: the xdg, desktop, menu specs | 07:20 |
| whiprush | but the problem with FC as a distro has nothing to do with rpm or apt. | 07:20 |
| samurai | thanks joem | 07:20 |
| whiprush | the problem is dozens of repos stepping on each other | 07:20 |
| calc | samurai: btw i wrote menu-xdg (which is what kde uses in debian) | 07:20 |
| calc | and aiui there are still some bugs in there somewhere, need to look into it | 07:21 |
| linux_mafia | whiprush, i agree, and i hate there are multiple versions of apt itself | 07:21 |
| whiprush | instead of one base repo that everyone builds off of, you've got 15 guys packaging totem. | 07:21 |
| whiprush | and they all conflict. | 07:21 |
| calc | maybe during one of the hack sessions at gnome summit ;) | 07:21 |
| samurai | I guess I find the current scheme makes it really difficult for the user to change or tweak menus | 07:21 |
| ranman | damn lag... | 07:21 |
| whiprush | and 0 guys packaging the one thing you need. | 07:21 |
| samurai | calc: thats cool.... | 07:21 |
| whiprush | linux_mafia: right | 07:21 |
| joem | samurai, menus or the items in the menu? | 07:21 |
| calc | samurai: its possible to change by the user, but i think one of the issues is that my code is slightly buggy | 07:21 |
| linux_mafia | whiprush, and that the bloody apts install there own source list | 07:21 |
| whiprush | yes | 07:21 |
| whiprush | ATrpms | 07:21 |
| whiprush | the worse | 07:21 |
| calc | i think i hardcoded something somewhere that shouldn't have been | 07:21 |
| samurai | not sure what the difference is joem? | 07:21 |
| defendguin | whiprush, i agree totally | 07:21 |
| whiprush | that dude replaces stuff that should never be replaced | 07:21 |
| whiprush | what the heck is up with that | 07:22 |
| calc | one of the kde dev's posted about it a while back | 07:22 |
| joem | adding a new catagory or adding an app under a catagory | 07:22 |
| samurai | definitely the items in a menu | 07:22 |
| joem | gnome menu you can just right click add item | 07:22 |
| linux_mafia | i use dag and that was it, he seems to do a pretty good job | 07:22 |
| linux_mafia | *used | 07:22 |
| clee | dag is a fucking good packager. | 07:22 |
| === calc thinks the menu structure needs rethinking and better layout so both kde and gnome can use it | ||
| linux_mafia | clee, amen | 07:22 |
| === clee is kind of surprised we haven't hired him yet. | ||
| whiprush | I suppose debian is a total opposite of that, you get one nice, cohesive repo, but 15 guys arguing over how to do it right, so you end up waiting anyway. | 07:23 |
| clee | whiprush: heheheheh. exactly. | 07:23 |
| whiprush | which is probably why we're all here. | 07:23 |
| linux_mafia | whiprush, precisely | 07:23 |
| clee | whiprush: which is why Canonical is nice. :) | 07:23 |
| whiprush | yes. | 07:23 |
| samurai | joem: true... I guess I just like to get into an editor where I visualize the whole thing a little better, | 07:23 |
| clee | you get 30+ guys all going "THIS IS HOW WE ARE GOING TO FUCKING DO IT" and then they fucking do it | 07:23 |
| whiprush | yeah word. | 07:23 |
| samurai | kinda retro I know joe | 07:23 |
| calc | whiprush: and a couple people who notoriously drag their feet *cough* | 07:23 |
| samurai | s/joe/joem | 07:23 |
| joem | samurai, ah, like an openbox type xml file? | 07:23 |
| whiprush | man clee, I just fired up my fedora box. | 07:24 |
| samurai | yes exactly joem | 07:24 |
| whiprush | 10 dudes packaging rhythymbox, 8 are a version behind. | 07:24 |
| joem | clee, put that description on the wiki front page | 07:24 |
| joem | its a good one | 07:24 |
| whiprush | good game! | 07:24 |
| joem | samurai, I like those menus as well | 07:24 |
| clee | joem: heh. | 07:24 |
| clee | joem: probably a little too vulgar for "front page" material :) | 07:24 |
| whiprush | calc: yeah, but it's hard to fault the big D though. | 07:24 |
| joem | maybe at the bottom of the page then | 07:24 |
| calc | someone should just fork fedora and make it open like debian ;) | 07:25 |
| samurai | joem: gives the more savy user another dimension for menu manipultation | 07:25 |
| clee | whiprush: meh. I would kind of trust walters' packages of rb, personally... | 07:25 |
| calc | then package everything for it | 07:25 |
| joem | yea | 07:25 |
| calc | clee: hehe, yea :) | 07:25 |
| whiprush | 2 months ago I thought I'd be a debian user my entire life. Then ubuntu whipped me into shape. | 07:25 |
| linux_mafia | i used debian for 4+ years, then fedora for a couple of months, felt like some spit and polish, just when i was about to go back to debian, bam! ubuntu comes out, best of both worlds | 07:25 |
| whiprush | well, I guess I'm still a debian user in a way. | 07:25 |
| punkass | defendguin: u are still here :) | 07:25 |
| clee | heh. | 07:25 |
| whiprush | clee: walters rules. He's all quiet and reserved. | 07:25 |
| clee | whiprush: heh. until you introduce him to your mom. | 07:25 |
| whiprush | I snagged harshy and I was like "dude, you need to sacrifice your ipod to walters so I can get my support." | 07:26 |
| whiprush | he did not like this. | 07:26 |
| calc | clee: colin "stifler" walters? ;) | 07:26 |
| whiprush | yeah though, that selinux stuff was pimp. great stuff. | 07:26 |
| whiprush | linux_mafia: heh I was the same way. | 07:27 |
| clee | walters has this awesome obsession with MILFs | 07:27 |
| calc | hahaha | 07:27 |
| clee | well, I dunno if it's really MILFs or just moms of coworkers | 07:27 |
| clee | but he's very fond of saying "Your mama" in response to pretty much anything | 07:27 |
| defendguin | punkass ya | 07:28 |
| whiprush | linux_mafia: I have this theory with fedora and debian. Fedora gets me 80% there in 30 minutes. Debian gets me 100% there in 3 days. | 07:28 |
| punkass | i just wished i found ubuntu..before installing a pile of other distros...would have saved me lots o time | 07:28 |
| joem | "dude where is tagging support" "uh, I left it at your moms last night" | 07:28 |
| whiprush | ubuntu get's me 90% there in an hour. | 07:28 |
| clee | joem: heh. exactly. | 07:28 |
| calc | heh | 07:28 |
| clee | joem: or another conversation, where walters and clarkbw were arguing about something | 07:28 |
| clee | and then: <walters> clarkbw, you'd better shut up before I give you a little brother or sister | 07:29 |
| punkass | got a peek at those icons..pretty nice...i think was think of something with more detail tho | 07:29 |
| joem | haha | 07:29 |
| punkass | not sure :) guess ill know when i see it | 07:29 |
| calc | clee: heh he seemed to always be quiet when he was a DD ;) | 07:29 |
| clee | calc: I think we're bringing him out of his shell. | 07:29 |
| calc | be afraid very afraid ;) | 07:30 |
| whiprush | you're both so very bad peoples. | 07:30 |
| clee | oh, wait | 07:30 |
| clee | it wasn't "shut up" | 07:30 |
| clee | 01:43 -!- clee changed the topic of #devel to: 22:42 <walters> clarkbw: you better watch out, or i'm going to give you a little brother or sister. | 07:31 |

| whiprush | well, epiphany does it right | 07:34 |
| defendguin | because they get shrunk | 07:34 |
| punkass | very true | 07:34 |
| Walza | im wondering if anyone could help me | 07:34 |
| whiprush | Walza: just ask | 07:34 |
| Walza | i have 2 cards that alsa picks up | 07:35 |
| Walza | one card is a bt878 tv card | 07:35 |
| joem | whiprush, blam does :) | 07:35 |
| phlaegel | Walza: same thing here. just a sec, got a fix for you here. | 07:35 |
| Walza | and one is ac97 sound card | 07:35 |
| joem | I don't know of anything else that does, but the spec is new | 07:35 |
| Walza | phlaegel: thanks mate | 07:36 |
| whiprush | joem: well, you get my idea. It's becoming a wasteland of apps or something. | 07:36 |
| === Jaramin [~b@Toronto-HSE-ppp3747061.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| joem | most people will probably ignore the spec because the best feature of the notify area is that is is cross desktop platform | 07:36 |
| whiprush | yes. :( | 07:36 |
| phlaegel | Walza: just to make sure, the bt card is detected as card 0, killing your sound, right? | 07:36 |
| Walza | and yeah /dev/audio /dev/dsp get assigned to the tv card - gnomes doesnt like it | 07:36 |
| Walza | phlaegel: yeap thats it | 07:37 |
| crimsun | index=1 for the bttv card | 07:37 |
| crimsun | index=0 for the other | 07:37 |
| phlaegel | Walza: put http://crapbox.org/asoundrc in your home dir as .asoundrc | 07:37 |
| phlaegel | that's what I use | 07:38 |
| LeeColleton | why is it that tomboy will run once and then not a second time? If I rm -rf .tomboy I can get one run out of it but the second run comes up blank | 07:38 |
| === ElRaton [~lerat@tofu.eu.org] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Walza | can i have it global in /etc/asound.conf? | 07:38 |
| whiprush | ok, I must be an idiot, but someone explain to me why tomboy is better than say, the existing postit applet? | 07:38 |
| phlaegel | Walza: probably | 07:38 |
| crimsun | yes | 07:38 |
| joem | whiprush, it works kind of like a wiki | 07:38 |
| ranman | Walza: You are using vfl2? | 07:38 |
| joem | you can have links to other notes | 07:38 |
| phlaegel | whiprush: because it's a personal wiki | 07:38 |
| Jaramin | whiprush: I've taken a closer look to the linux permission system, and understand a bit more the orientation of your previous answers ;) | 07:38 |
| whiprush | Jaramin: excellent. | 07:39 |
| ranman | oops v4l2 | 07:39 |
| Walza | ranman: what ever comes in the stock 2.6 kernel | 07:39 |
| whiprush | Jaramin: windows is the same way also. Learn about fast user switching. Same idea. | 07:39 |
| phlaegel | whiprush: I never found the sticky notes applet useful, but I'm using tomboy constantly. | 07:39 |
| === deprecated is back (gone 23:39:08) | ||
| Walza | ranman: i think your right | 07:39 |
| whiprush | phlaegel: ok, I'll give it a go then | 07:39 |
| joem | tomboy will be really nice when it gets evo integration | 07:39 |
| phlaegel | yes | 07:39 |
| phlaegel | and bullets | 07:39 |
| whiprush | Jaramin: don't think of it as a cage. Think of it as a seatbelt. | 07:40 |
| joem | I would use it more often | 07:40 |
| joem | but my life is boring, so I don't have to note things down | 07:40 |
| defendguin | punkass if you are here tomoorrow i will show you an improved one | 07:40 |
| whiprush | ugh | 07:40 |
| defendguin | just remind me | 07:40 |
| joem | take a nap with a link to getting up | 07:40 |
| ranman | ic.. hmm, I have not used the 2.6 kernel in my box at home that has the tv card.. My tv card is plugged into the tv audio of my soundcard and all bttv wil go into /dev/v4l/ | 07:40 |
| whiprush | phlaegel: I've spent my life trying to get away from wikis. | 07:40 |
| punkass | ok will do | 07:40 |
| whiprush | and now this is good? | 07:40 |
| LeeColleton | yes, but the postit applet runs every time I click on it. Tomboy only runs once. The second time I get a big fat NOTHING | 07:40 |
| phlaegel | it's a faster, simpler wiki | 07:40 |
| LeeColleton | (until I rm -rf .tomboy , as mentioned) | 07:40 |
| whiprush | phlaegel: WhatDoYouMean? | 07:41 |
| phlaegel | I mean, if you don't like, don't use, of course, but you'd be wrong. ;-) | 07:41 |
| whiprush | heh | 07:41 |
| Walza | phlaegel: have you entered it as a bug in the bugzilla? | 07:41 |
| phlaegel | Walza: nope | 07:41 |
| joem | whiprush, http://www.beatniksoftware.com/tomboy/ | 07:41 |
| joem | the screen shot is a good example | 07:41 |
| Jaramin | whiprush: so I'll ask for something that would probably be more fitting, though I'm not sure it's easily feasible... let's say I'm in a folder in nautilus. I want to delete a file, but need to be root to do so. I don't want to use the command line (even if I can). Would it be possible to add some sort of "delete as root" button or context menu entry? | 07:41 |
| whiprush | yeah I'm playing with it now | 07:41 |
| joem | Jaramin, yes | 07:41 |
| phlaegel | Jaramin: yes. you want a nautilus script. | 07:41 |
| joem | a simple one line nautilus script that does gksudo rm file or something | 07:42 |
| Jaramin | yay! now I'm talking the same language as you I guess :P | 07:42 |
| clee | ... isn't it smarter for Nautilus just to prompt for a password if it detects that it doesn't have sufficient permissions to delete something? | 07:42 |
| Walza | phlaegel: yeah been tossing up the idea of entering it - but its not really a bug | 07:42 |
| whiprush | dude. | 07:42 |
| joem | clee, shh | 07:42 |
| phlaegel | clee: that would be smarter, definitely | 07:42 |
| whiprush | what are you deleting? | 07:42 |
| whiprush | and why? | 07:42 |
| Walza | ranman: yeah it works right out of the box with the 2.6 kernel | 07:43 |
| defendguin | why is gaim-encryption not in ubuntu or universe? | 07:43 |
| phlaegel | Walza: it would be an enhancement, I guess, or a minor bug. It would be nice to have it not make a tv card the default alsa device | 07:43 |
| clee | defendguin: because g-e is crack | 07:43 |
| whiprush | it's not in debian either | 07:43 |
| Jaramin | whiprush: log files. I'm using ipac-ng and I need to delete log files. | 07:43 |
| jdub | defendguin: remember we froze in around june... | 07:43 |
| defendguin | doesnt relly offer protection? | 07:43 |

| Walza | phlaegel thanks for your help matey muchy apperated | 07:44 |
| phlaegel | np | 07:44 |
| Walza | next time i see bob2 in person ill hassle him about it hehehe | 07:44 |

| === joolz [~joolz@kiar.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| whiprush | Jaramin: admin function. For that you'll need to sudo to. The "right way" is to set it up so it rotates properly, do you don't need to delete by hand. | 07:45 |
| Jaramin | whiprush: I guess it would be harder to really integrate it as clee said, but how about a just some sort of "delete as root" context entry, is it something I could make myslef? | 07:45 |
| ranman | I went to ifolder site after the discussion here, and seems that Novell is porting everything linux to netware.. Why not just go linux? | 07:45 |
| phlaegel | Jaramin: yep. nautilus scripts. | 07:45 |
| Walza | ok ok you win hehe | 07:45 |
| joem | Jaramin, with a nautilus script yea. | 07:46 |
| whiprush | ranman: they are. | 07:46 |
| clee | Jaramin: oh, of course it'd be harder to do it the way I suggested... but I think that in this case, it'd be "The Right Way" | 07:46 |
| phlaegel | can't remember the script dir though... | 07:46 |
| ranman | I know that they bought the linux stuff, just seems that all the ifolder projects are linux ports to netware.. | 07:46 |
| Jaramin | joem: cool, got any place to get me started? | 07:46 |
| joem | clee, stop spreading your dirty anti-gnome propagandha | 07:46 |
| LeeColleton | It is seriously useless to have to forceably remove .tomboy and lose all my notes everytime I startup my system. Could this be caused by installing, then uninstalling tomboy from source and then installing the tomboy package? | 07:46 |
| Jaramin | clee: I guess so, but I need a quick and dirty solution now | 07:47 |
| joem | Jaramin, hmm yea just a sec | 07:47 |
| linux_mafia | i hate tintin | 07:47 |
| whiprush | ranman: the old versions of ifolder were netware products. most of their pages are out of date | 07:47 |

| clee | vino-server reports that it can do protocol version 3.7 | 08:05 |
| clee | vncviewer here only seems to do 3.3 | 08:06 |
| clee | and it's fucking *laggy* on 100MBit which is unacceptable | 08:06 |
| ranman | joem: jdub: run "gksu touch me" You should find a file in your home directory with root permissions.. | 08:07 |
| atu13439 | any ubuntu on powerpc users here that can help... | 08:08 |
| ranman | gksu is a wrapper for sudo.. | 08:08 |
| joem | sudo or su? | 08:08 |
| joem | it asks for root password | 08:08 |

| dewey | sudo asks for your password. | 08:08 |
| Jaramin | joem: googling stuff for scripts, found interesting stuff, script has to handle selction of multiple files with spaces in the file names... | 08:08 |
| joem | yea gksu requires root access | 08:10 |
| ranman | ic.. | 08:13 |
| ranman | I think that this rootless environment needs more thought.. | 08:13 |
| justdave | atu13439: Disk Utility is broken | 08:13 |
| justdave | atu13439: the iso works fine in Toast | 08:14 |
| ranman | Good idea to keep the noobs for messing up their computers.. (maybe).. But it seems less friendly.. | 08:14 |
| joem | how so? | 08:15 |
| linux_mafia | where can i get tomboy packages? i'm sure someone mentioned it earlier | 08:15 |

| linux_mafia | phlaegel, thought so, cheers | 08:16 |
| ranman | I am using a mutated debian unstable -> ubuntu and not experiencing the problems that others are having, but how are the people using synaptic? | 08:17 |
| atu13439 | justdave: thanks for the reply...i dont have toast...can i use hdiutil from command line | 08:17 |
| ranman | Mine gets launched by gksu, and seems that others cannot use gksu due to rootless behavior.. | 08:18 |
| justdave | hdiutil crashes, too. (Disk Utility is just a GUI wrapper on hdiutil anyway) | 08:18 |
| atu13439 | you're right...any other way i can work around this | 08:18 |
| justdave | I'm told cdrecord from fink works | 08:18 |
| justdave | I haven't managed to make it work personally (it seems to require a SCSI CD burner, and mine's IDE) | 08:19 |
| atu13439 | yeah i've got an ide burner as well... | 08:19 |

| bborkk | I just installed Warty and would like to upgrade the kernel from 2.6.8.1-3 to 2.6.8.1-12. I've downloaded the source, compiled the new kernel and installed it all without a problem. However, booting into the new kernel results in: "Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)". Google seems to think I didn't compile the correct modules into the kernel, but I can't figure out which ones I would nee | 09:40 |
| bborkk | d. Any ideas? | 09:40 |
| phlaegel | you shouldn't need to compile a kernel | 09:40 |
| crimsun | bborkk: mkinitrd? :) | 09:40 |
| bborkk | phlaegel: that would be nice. | 09:40 |
| phlaegel | just install the linux-i386 (or linux-k7 or linux-amd64, as appropriate) and it will keep you up to date | 09:41 |
| crimsun | -13 is the most current iirc | 09:41 |
| bborkk | phlaegel: you mean the package? sudo apt-get install linux-i386? | 09:41 |
| phlaegel | right | 09:41 |
| crimsun | yep | 09:41 |
| calc | ah gtk_widget_show_all | 09:41 |

| bborkk | phlaegel: well, at least now i know how to compile and install a kernel, even if incorrectly. :) | 09:42 |
| phlaegel | doesn't hurt to know :-) | 09:42 |
| bborkk | phlaegel: the linux-i386 package wasn't found. | 09:43 |

| crimsun | should work fine if you burn w/ toast | 09:44 |

| crimsun | :) | 09:56 |
| bborkk | thanks for the help! | 09:56 |
| bborkk | what's the difference between the -386 and -686 kernels? | 09:57 |
| bborkk | the reason i wanted to update was so i could get my laptop to sleep properly | 09:57 |
| bborkk | but, it doesn't seem to have worked. | 09:58 |
| jdub | bborkk: 686 is built for newer cpus - same source, different binary | 09:58 |
| jdub | (mostly the same source) | 09:58 |
| bborkk | jdub: good to know... so it's just optimization issues? | 09:58 |
| jdub | essentially | 09:58 |
| bborkk | jdub: what about the revision numbers? does -3-686 correspond to -3-386? | 09:59 |
| Lathiat | bingles | 09:59 |
| jdub | bborkk: yes | 09:59 |
| jdub | bborkk: the 3 indicates abi change version | 10:00 |
| Lathiat | tseng: cool, see http://lathiat.bur.st/ i've got my patch to monodevelop, a binary and dbus cvs built with c# bindings (beagle needs dbus cvs so i did that instead of the release) | 10:00 |
| Lathiat | tseng: actually, maybe the beagle release wont need a cvs dbus version :) | 10:00 |
| Lathiat | the cvs version does anyway | 10:00 |
| bborkk | jdub: hmm, so if the bug i'm dealing with was fixed in 2.6.8.1-10, then I should be using the -386 version? | 10:00 |
| phlaegel | jdub: do you know if there's been any discussion about improving performance in the network window in nautilus? ie. If a connection can be shown immediately, do it, don't stall the whole window to wait for slower ones. I find the delay opening that window really annoying. | 10:02 |

| GOwin | hi. i'm trying to get the egroupware package for debian from here. http://ftp.hk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/egroupware/ | 10:22 |
| GOwin | how do i use synaptic to do this? im new into linux and ubuntu | 10:23 |
| Lathiat | Well youd need to add the debian source for that mirror | 10:25 |
| Lathiat | however that, generally, is a bad idea | 10:25 |
| Lathiat | it might work, but it might break things | 10:25 |

| GOwin | my objective for setting up the ubuntu in my computer is to get egroupware installed on it | 10:26 |
| Treenaks | hm.. my laptop has associated with my AP, it asks for an IP every hour, but ping gives 'host unreachable' on both ipv4 and ipv6 | 10:27 |

| Treenaks | and I'm not near it to check it | 10:27 |
| Lathiat | Treenaks: If you had access to the dhcp server you could check the leases? | 10:28 |
| Lathiat | GOwin: what is egroupware exactly? | 10:28 |
| === Lathiat has a look | ||
| Treenaks | Lathiat: that's what I meant by "it asks for an IP".. it gets a lease | 10:28 |
| Lathiat | Treenaks: No its not, because I meant, look at the DHCP server leases because it probably managed to expire its lease and get a different address than the one your trying to ping? | 10:29 |
| GOwin | lathiat, it's a colloboration application | 10:29 |
| Lathiat | that said if the ipv6 doesnt ping, since the autoconfed addresses are static you probably broke it somehow :) | 10:29 |
| Treenaks | Lathiat: it gets an IP. I know my DHCP logs :) | 10:29 |
| Treenaks | Lathiat: | 10:29 |
| Lathiat | Treenaks: oh i get it now :) | 10:29 |

| pere | Treenaks: Thanks for pointing me to the FAQ. However I have another question that probably is too basic for including into the FAQ: How do I add debian-marillat repository to my Ubuntu sources.list. Can I do that in Synaptic? | 10:47 |
| fabbione | pere: yes you can | 10:47 |
| Treenaks | pere: I think so, you can also do "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" in a shell | 10:47 |
| joolz | fabbione: i'll try matching xfree conf with the old xorg. If that doesn't work, i'll be back here. Thanks so far! | 10:47 |
| fabbione | pere: and it should be included in the faq | 10:47 |
| fabbione | joolz: i might know where the problem is. | 10:48 |
| fabbione | joolz: do you want to show me the config? | 10:48 |
| joolz | sure, where do i put it? | 10:48 |

| Lathiat | somewhere i read said ubuntu was merged of sarge | 10:50 |
| Lathiat | somewhere else said sid | 10:50 |
| fabbione | Lathiat: ubuntu is a snapshot of Sid | 10:50 |
| ik5pvx | fineprint says it will format your hard disc, fry your graphic card, burn the laser of your cdrom and cause male sterility | 10:51 |
| Lathiat | rightio | 10:51 |

| joolz | Treenaks: no idea, I did a default install. Sec, i'll have a look | 10:52 |

| Lathiat | couldnt live without it | 10:53 |
| fabbione | joolz: not yet. they are working on it | 10:53 |
| joolz | fabbione: ok, thanks | 10:53 |
| Lathiat | knowing a swsusp2 hacker IRL helps to get it going nicely :) | 10:53 |
| ik5pvx | first is that acpid intercepts power button, so pressing powerbutton to awake the laptop does awake and immediatly shutdown it | 10:54 |
| ik5pvx | easily fixed by adding an exit 0 in /etc/acpid/pwrbtn.sh or something like that | 10:54 |
| === tof-- [~tof@blueice2n1.uk.ibm.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| ik5pvx | second problem is that I can't get suspend to disk to work. there is no /sys/power/disk file | 10:54 |
| joolz | fabbione: i have a workaround. Seems that when in firefox java is enabled, and there is no java, this happens. I disabled java in firefox and now it doesnt segfault | 10:55 |
| ik5pvx | I suspect my laptop is to old to suspend to disk | 10:55 |
| fabbione | joolz: ok... | 10:55 |

| ik5pvx | Lathiat, do you have it working on ubuntu ? | 11:00 |
| joolz | fabbione: what should it be? | 11:00 |
| Lathiat | ik5pvx: it will do as soon as i recompile my kernel | 11:01 |
| Lathiat | ik5pvx: its not so much a ubuntu issue as it is a kernel issue | 11:01 |
| Lathiat | i ahd it going on debian fine so i assume itl work on ubuntu fine | 11:01 |
| fabbione | joolz: it should be 30-65 | 11:01 |
| Lathiat | fabbione: ooc, (if its quickly explainable) what does horizsync mean | 11:01 |
| joolz | fabbione: ok, i'll adjust it. But will this solve the resolution issue? | 11:02 |

| Lathiat | they havent :) | 11:28 |
| Alby | Is there a place to make a plea!!! :) | 11:29 |
| Lathiat | heh ask on the users mailing list, someone might havea way of getting around your problem | 11:30 |
| Lathiat | its odd your thing doesnt work in SBM | 11:30 |
| Lathiat | didntthink they made "soundcard cdroms" in laptops | 11:30 |
| Alby | thx neway ;) | 11:30 |
| pere | Im getting "alsa-control: mixer attach dev/mixer error: No such file or directory" in gmplayer. Mplayer works fine from command lineAny ideas | 11:33 |
| Lathiat | i assume because theres no / there | 11:34 |
| Lathiat | bug in the package perhaps? | 11:34 |

| Spiritz | hi | 11:38 |
| Spiritz | does hubuntu supports well intel 2200 wifi chipset? | 11:39 |
| Lathiat | umm | 11:39 |
| Lathiat | Spiritz: A driver exists, its probably not in the default kernel | 11:40 |
| Lathiat | unsure how stable it is its an experimental driver | 11:40 |
| Spiritz | ok thank you | 11:41 |
| Spiritz | If you owned a centrino laptop, what distrubition would you choose? | 11:42 |
| Lathiat | ubuntu :) | 11:42 |
| Lathiat | I'm getting an intel 2200 centrino laptop in a couple months | 11:42 |

| Spiritz | Ok then I'm gonna try it too :) | 11:43 |
| Spiritz | I tried mdk 10.1 which, according to mdk, was the most laptop friendly distrib, but the SpeedStep for the centrino would not work, nor the ipw2200 driver built in the kernel | 11:44 |
| spiv | Spiritz: Yes, it's in the default kernel. | 11:44 |
| Spiritz | Yeah but the ipw2200 driver in the kernel is out of date. It's only 0.7 and doesn't support wep encryption properly :- | 11:44 |
| spiv | Spiritz: It Just Works on my gf's laptop. | 11:44 |
| Spiritz | using MDK 10.1 and ipw2200 driver? | 11:45 |
| spiv | Using ubuntu. | 11:45 |
| Spiritz | oh ok awesome, I can't wait to get it then | 11:45 |
| spiv | I think ubuntu has the 0.8 driver, I might be wrong, though. | 11:45 |
| Spiritz | Ok | 11:46 |
| Spiritz | Is speedstep working properly? | 11:46 |
| spiv | Seems to be. | 11:46 |
| spiv | My centrino laptop runs a lot slower when I don't have AC power ;) | 11:46 |
| Spiritz | Sounds good | 11:46 |
| Spiritz | do you know if it supports ReiserFS partionning? | 11:47 |

| spiv | I think so, but I don't use it | 11:47 |
| Lathiat | Spiritz: I would suggest using ext3 | 11:47 |
| Lathiat | Because ive lost too many partitions to resier | 11:48 |
| Lathiat | ext3 has *never* failed me | 11:48 |
| Spiritz | Have you been using latest ReiserFs version ? They say it's stable now and really faster than ext3 partitions | 11:48 |
| Lathiat | Not for a bit but im scarred for life with resier :) | 11:49 |
| ross | reiser4 is still in testing, right? | 11:49 |
| Spiritz | No not anymore | 11:49 |
| Spiritz | It's included as stable in Mdk 10.1 community and Yoper for instance | 11:49 |
| spiv | It's very much still in testing... | 11:49 |
| spiv | It's not in the mainline kernel for a reason. | 11:49 |
| Spiritz | I think if mdk inculuded Reisfer it means that it's close/already ready to be used | 11:50 |
| ross | well | 11:50 |
| ross | red hat included gcc "2.96" | 11:50 |
| spiv | Last I ead, it still hadn't been tested on an arch but i386. | 11:50 |
| joem | ew reiser4 | 11:50 |
| Lathiat | Spiritz: thats an entirely false asumption | 11:50 |
| spiv | s/ead/read/ | 11:51 |
| Lathiat | Spiritz: It might work for you, if it does, good | 11:51 |
| joem | read this(really long) thread and know why most distros won't add reiser4 support | 11:51 |
| joem | http://www.dragoninc.ca/mail-archives/linux-kernel/2004-08/7191.html | 11:51 |

| Spiritz | I guess you know more than me | 11:52 |
| Lathiat | Spiritz: I mean if you want to thats fine I'm just saying in my experience ext3 is pretty safe and resier has lost me too much stuff | 11:52 |
| Lathiat | But you know, you could say the same about linux vs windows and stuff | 11:52 |
| joem | it has ugly bugs from a security and compatibility standpoint | 11:52 |
| Lathiat | I was just recommending especially if your a newer user, if something goes bung it'l probably be much harder for you to sort out | 11:53 |
| Lathiat | joem: did you read any of that lovely 1000+ message thread on resier recently? | 11:53 |
| Lathiat | or is that part of it? :P | 11:53 |
| Lathiat | hans gets defensive quickly :) | 11:53 |

| joem | but if you spend 10 minutes starting from the begining, you get whats going on | 11:54 |
| ik5pvx | I can foresee reiserfs ending the same way as devfs... a good idea done bad... | 11:55 |
| Lathiat | mm | 11:55 |
| joem | I don't know if you can call it a good idea when it goes bad from the start | 11:56 |
| joem | unless you use a very general form of idea | 11:56 |
| joem | like "lets make a cool file system" | 11:56 |
| ik5pvx | well at least it looked like a good idea when the whole thing started. At the time ext3 wasn't as stable as now | 11:57 |

| petemc | yes, inspirons are big ugly laptops | 12:01 |
| Lathiat | the *ms seem to be fairly small | 12:01 |
| Lathiat | the nonms are | 12:01 |

| Lathiat | thats chunky chunky | 12:01 |

| petemc | but im getting a powerbook :) | 12:02 |
| Lathiat | yeh even the modem works i read | 12:02 |
| Lathiat | scary :) | 12:02 |
| Lathiat | though the monitor out port needs a bit of software and only does span atm | 12:02 |
| Lathiat | shame, i really want clone | 12:02 |
| Lathiat | otherwise everything else works | 12:02 |
| petemc | i810switch | 12:02 |
| Lathiat | Yeh but that only does clone doesnt it? | 12:03 |
| petemc | yup | 12:03 |
| Lathiat | really want span damnit | 12:03 |
| Lathiat | it seems like the perfect laptop otherwise | 12:03 |
| petemc | i think the d600 has a better graphics card, with 2 heads | 12:03 |
| Lathiat | yeh but its also probably out of my price range | 12:04 |
| Lathiat | above specced dell is $2200 AUD | 12:04 |
| Lathiat | thats already pushing it :) | 12:04 |
| Lathiat | ignoring the ram, im getting that aftermarket | 12:04 |
| cef | Lathiat: that's not a bad price for what's in it | 12:04 |
| Lathiat | cef: yeh | 12:04 |
| Lathiat | its a 1.6GHz centrino too | 12:04 |
| Lathiat | and hi stuart :) | 12:04 |
| Lathiat | it might go up to 2500 with the dvdburner | 12:05 |
| cef | Lathiat: and since I'm in the market for a lappy at about that price.. I'd be interested in how yours goes.. *grin* | 12:05 |
| Lathiat | seems to be a fre upgrade offer online atm | 12:05 |
| Lathiat | cef: haha it looks like a really nice laptop, read some stuff off tuxmobile and *everything* works fine :) | 12:05 |
| Lathiat | which is great | 12:05 |
| cef | Lathiat: cool.. what video chipset in that? | 12:05 |
| Lathiat | Intel i810 based i | 12:05 |
| Lathiat | "Intel Extreme 3" i think | 12:05 |
| Lathiat | just checking | 12:06 |

| petemc | yeah | 12:06 |
| petemc | 855patch | 12:06 |
| Lathiat | petemc: i dont think you need that iwth the upgraded bios and maybe thats why its breaking? | 12:07 |
| Lathiat | cef: well its not ati so :) | 12:07 |
| petemc | i did try turning it off | 12:07 |
| petemc | no go | 12:07 |
| Lathiat | hmm | 12:07 |
| Lathiat | ooc, how does the windows driver handle that resolution? | 12:07 |
| Lathiat | does it make a similar hack? :) | 12:07 |
| cef | Lathiat: yeah.. nvidia I can handle.. I generally don't do 3d, so a lack thereof occasionly is fine by me.. and the nvidia 2d drivers are pretty stable and fairly fast | 12:07 |
| petemc | not sure what windows does, i do dual boot but rarely bother with windows now | 12:08 |
| Lathiat | i cant use windows these days | 12:08 |

| petemc | they add in support | 12:16 |

| Lathiat | cef: thats sweet, any idea how much? | 12:16 |
| Lathiat | cef: so.. 14.1" @ 1024x768 or 15" @ 1400x1050 | 12:16 |
| Lathiat | pass on the 15" @ 1024x768 | 12:16 |
| Lathiat | thinking the 14 would be nicer, a bit more mobile | 12:17 |

| mir | how is the upgrade to new versions handled?, is it debian easy (apt-get dist-upgrade or alike) or is it FC, MDK hard? | 12:27 |
| sivang | yes, I have upgraded cleanly to the latest, I have it running with XFS, but Ubuntu is slow to unusable on the machine. | 12:27 |
| Treenaks | mir: debian-easy | 12:28 |
| Iorek | it's debian... | 12:28 |
| sivang | mir : everything you know about debian for upgrades - applies here. | 12:28 |
| Iorek | Treenaks actually I've been wondering, will be able to update to 4.10 the 28th with apt? | 12:28 |
| mir | I know it is based on debian, but is it as easy to keep up to date?.. just apt-get dist-upgrade? | 12:28 |
| mir | Nice.. then I will definetly try it out | 12:29 |
| sivang | mir : actually, as this is a bit more user orient, it should be even easier. | 12:29 |
| Lathiat | away | 12:29 |
| sivang | mir : if you are used to using debian unstable, you might recall how sometimes the system break. | 12:30 |
| mir | sivang: hehe.. yepp I have some nightmare experiances with unstable.. | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | i guess ive been lucky | 12:30 |
| mir | hope ubuntu is abit more stable dough.. | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | i run unstable on my server and desktop and laptop an dhave NEVER had a problem :) | 12:31 |
| Lathiat | im running ubuntu on my laptop now | 12:31 |
| mir | I normally run Debian testing | 12:31 |
| sivang | mir : which is understandable, as it's a "still in development". However I feel that extra care is taken here to make things less rocky, | 12:31 |
| Lathiat | havent upgraded my desktoip cus i hardly ever use it and its at home without a net connection | 12:31 |
| sivang | mir : and if it does happen - you'll be sure it will be fixed swiftly. | 12:31 |
| cef | Lathiat: hrm.. $2224 for the setup I'm after.. (15" SXGA with 53Wh batt & extra modular battey) | 12:31 |

| mir | sivang: Sounds good, I am downloading it right now.. | 12:35 |
| mir | sivang: How is the hardware support?.. is it more automatic than debian? | 12:35 |
| Mithrandir | mir: yes. | 12:36 |
| Mithrandir | mir: or, roughly at the same level as you get with sarge, I'd say. | 12:36 |
| mir | Mithrandir: But its still alot of manual job in sarge.. L | 12:37 |
| Kamion | depends very much on the device | 12:37 |
| Mithrandir | mir: oh? It usually works out of the box for me, at least. | 12:37 |
| Iorek | only thing I had to take care of was nvidia | 12:37 |
| Iorek | otherwise, everything worked fine | 12:37 |
| mir | Mithrandir: Yes it detects most of my hw, but it does not configure it in a way a normal desktop user wants it.. Its ok for me, but I have some friends who like debian, execpt for this problem, they are Windowers.. So it will help them if the the the distro is more desktop friendly... and thats what ubuntu is as far as I have understood. | 12:39 |
| Iorek | AH, I remember something. Was trying out sound juicer, but when I checked mp3 instead of ogg, it says I don't have the encoder | 12:40 |
| Mithrandir | mir: the X configuration is improved a fair bit. | 12:40 |
| Iorek | so how do I get this? :) | 12:40 |
| mir | Actually I would too like an easier desktop than debian as long as it is based on debian and is compatible.. So I will install it as fast as it is downloaded to try it out | 12:40 |
| Mithrandir | Iorek: use ogg, it has better quality and is free. :) | 12:40 |
| mir | On the server there is nothing like debian :-) | 12:41 |

| cujosuperfly | mepis is kde-happy and last i checked, cost money. i played with it about say 6 months ago, and it wasn't too shabby. | 02:56 |

| ploum | Hi | 03:41 |
| ploum | Is there an easy way to convert a Debian into Ubuntu without reinstalling all ? | 03:41 |
| seb128 | you can pin warty > 1000 and dist-upgrade | 03:41 |
| seb128 | but that's not == a fresh install | 03:42 |
| ross | personally i recommend a fresh install | 03:42 |
| ross | much nicer | 03:42 |
| seb128 | me too | 03:42 |
| ross | only takes 20 minutes | 03:42 |
| ploum | well, I think I will do this for my mother | 03:42 |
| ploum | simply keeping her "/home" (on another partition) | 03:42 |
| ploum | But she have a wireless cards no supported under Linux (and I've bought a Linuxant wrapper) | 03:43 |
| joolz | i have a notebook (asus a2500) which now dual boots fc2 and win2k. Should I expect any problems when I remove fc2 and install ubuntu instead? | 03:46 |
| Treenaks | joolz: o | 03:46 |
| Treenaks | no | 03:46 |
| joolz | Treenaks: that's the right answer :) Thanks | 03:46 |
| Iorek | joolz yes. Your notebook will mysteriously steal small but valuable objects | 03:46 |
| Iorek | *nods sagely* | 03:47 |
| joolz | Iorek: bummer. OK, that's it, no ubuntu then :) | 03:47 |
| Iorek | OTHER people's valuable objects | 03:47 |
| Iorek | it's an extra reason | 03:47 |
| joolz | hehe | 03:47 |
| Iorek | we're all getting rich very fast lately | 03:48 |
| joolz | IIRC there were grub issues when dual booting with win2k. So ubuntu doesn't have these? | 03:48 |
| Iorek | not to my knowledge. Maybe someone else knows? | 03:49 |

| joolz | btw, I have 1gb ram, I read somewhere that U supports only 800mb (something like that). I'm running the default kernel now... Will that cause any problems? | 04:20 |
| togs | i get an error about some PCMIA socket not working, using yenta instead or something like that, when i boot, it doesn't seem to hurt it though :) | 04:20 |
| WW_ | togs: I get that too. | 04:21 |
| WW_ | joolz: You can access the full gig by using the -686 kernel instead of -386. | 04:22 |
| togs | WW_, does it worry your install at all? I don't even know what it is :) | 04:22 |
| joolz | WW_: ok, tx | 04:22 |
| Treenaks | togs: it's just n informational message | 04:22 |
| Ex-Cyber | joolz: my memory's a bit fuzzy on this but I think the normal kernel cap is 960MB and it'll work fine but you won't be able to use the full 1GB | 04:22 |
| Treenaks | yenta is the better driver anyway 8) | 04:22 |
| togs | is there a way to view a logof the startup messages? | 04:22 |
| WW_ | togs: I think there were some ubuntu devs talking ubuntu trying to run pcmcia stuff on a desktop. I thought that eventually the yenta stuff would get fixed, but not yet. | 04:23 |
| togs | meh, i dunno | 04:24 |
| joolz | sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6-686 wants to install lilo ??? | 04:25 |
| joolz | weird | 04:25 |
| togs | as long as the updates don't bust anything, i'm happy :) | 04:25 |
| WW_ | togs: I just reread what I wrote. That wasn't too clear! My understanding is that ubuntu tries to load PCMCIA modules on ANY computer, even if it is a desktop. | 04:25 |
| WW_ | i.e. even if it is not a laptop. | 04:26 |
| togs | WW_, you're talking to the novice of novices, so as long as someone knows what's going on, i'm fine with that :) | 04:26 |
| togs | ah, so PCMCIA is laptop only stuff? | 04:28 |
| WW_ | togs: Right. | 04:28 |
| togs | oky | 04:28 |
| jacob | Why does the MD5SUMS differ for the diff. download locations ? | 04:29 |
| WW_ | togs: My understanding (also at the novice level) is that it is a bug, but a harmless one. Really, if your computer is not a laptop, ubuntu shouldn't even try to install the PCMCIA stuff. | 04:29 |
| togs | WW_, I suppose this is what comes of using a preview install :) | 04:29 |
| WW_ | togs: Right. It's more fun this way :-) | 04:30 |
| togs | on that note, when Ubuntu offcially comes out, we won't have to install it agin, we can just update? | 04:30 |
| WW_ | togs: That's what I was told. | 04:31 |
| Tomcat_ | What does uname -a print at the moment? | 04:31 |

| netgrabber | is the amd64 ubuntu a pure64 distri? | 06:48 |
| netgrabber | or is it 32/64bit? | 06:49 |
| Treenaks | netgrabber: afaik it's as 64bit as possible | 06:49 |
| Treenaks | netgrabber: (don't call it pure64, that's almost tru64, which is something else ;)) | 06:49 |
| Iorek | feh. 64bits is for pussies. I want 512 bits | 06:49 |
| netgrabber | I had problems using the pure64 port... flash doesn't run etc. | 06:49 |
| Treenaks | netgrabber: that's because macromedia hasn't ported flash to 64-bit linux yet | 06:50 |
| Iorek | <-- tech talk from someone who's a noob :P | 06:50 |
| Treenaks | netgrabber: and they won't release enough specs for a nice, working free alternative to be written | 06:50 |
| Treenaks | Iorek: 512? pfeh, 64kbit! | 06:50 |
| Iorek | at least! | 06:50 |

| === takatumi [nach@62.215.63.216] has left #ubuntu [] | ||

| Treenaks | siretart: you can do it "afterwards" | 08:36 |
| EY | it correctly loads the sata_nv driver, but does not give me any partition to configure | 08:37 |
| Kamion | siretart: don't think it's been discussed particularly, probably has to happen in Debian TBH | 08:37 |

| MGS | it does trey | 08:51 |
| Astinus | BIOS needs to be set to boot from CD, and you need to burn the CD correctly :P | 08:51 |

| EY | short of opening the casing, connect the hard disk to the ide instead of the sata, is there a way of disabling sata so that ubuntu will at least install? | 09:02 |
| Kamion | j^: doesn't quite work that way; you put a kernel and an initrd somewhere that a TFTP server can see them and boot from those ... it's not particularly for the faint of heart | 09:04 |

| njs12345 | yyc747: I'm fairly sure the only cost will be for support | 09:40 |
| goatboy | swim: run `NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6111-pkg2.run -K` to install the kernel module | 09:40 |
| |trey| | yyc747: no, it will not cost money to distribute amoungst the network... only for support... | 09:40 |

| yyc747 | njs12345: can you get it without support (but with enhancements and extra stability)? | 09:40 |
| njs12345 | yes | 09:41 |
| yyc747 | and which version will it be based on? | 09:41 |
| |trey| | njs12345: there is talk of Progeny, UserLinux, and Ubuntu working _very_ closely together... sounds more like they are going to be talking about merging... | 09:41 |

| |trey| | Supposedly Perens and Shuttleworth are going to be talking about it, and they are trying to get Murdock involved in the meeting too... | 09:42 |
| njs12345 | it'll be cool once Ubuntu gets a GUI installer as well.. not that I really care, but Joe Luser probably does ;) | 09:42 |
| joem | the ubuntu installer is pretty straight forward assuming you don't have to mess with partitions | 09:43 |
| joem | no more then 5 clicks iirc | 09:43 |
| |trey| | njs12345: well, Progeny brings work on apt-rpm and anaconda for debian... with rpm already installed, these things would make sense... | 09:43 |
| |trey| | UserLinux is just kinda an idea with no means to get it done by the sounds of things... | 09:43 |
| njs12345 | yeah, I thought I saw stuff about anaconda | 09:43 |
| yyc747 | anaconda is a nice installer | 09:44 |
| njs12345 | yeah | 09:44 |
| njs12345 | I love the bluecurve theme as well | 09:44 |
| yyc747 | but debian/ubuntu still far outstrips windows | 09:44 |
| yyc747 | in terms of installer | 09:44 |
| njs12345 | oh yes | 09:44 |
| njs12345 | of course | 09:44 |
| njs12345 | people bitch so much about how hard linux is to install and stuff | 09:44 |
| njs12345 | but in fact, with Linux today, it's far easier than windows | 09:45 |
| yyc747 | everyone says linux needs a beautiful installer, but windows is so far behind even the ugly installers | 09:45 |
| |trey| | If Progeny and Ubuntu do combine efforts, I will be happy :) Single apt database for .deb and .rpm packages, graphical installer... great developers. | 09:45 |
| yyc747 | but you need to partition!!!! | 09:45 |

| agraupe | either my imagination is playing tricks on me, or I didn't get to set a root password during the install | 11:41 |
| credmp | agraupe, only sudo iirc | 11:41 |
| agraupe | credmp: ah | 11:41 |
| agraupe | credmp: I suppose, if desired, I could run sudo passwd to set the root password? | 11:42 |
| |trey| | I think the Ubuntu universe (or perhaps multiverse as it sounds closer) should somehow link to outside sources, so its actually say Sun giving people java, but Ubuntu enables it... much like the installer for Flash in Main on Debian | 11:42 |
| |trey| | not Main, Contrib | 11:42 |
| credmp | agraupe, tja.... | 11:42 |
| |trey| | Thats what I meant, really :) | 11:42 |
| steveod | well i just found a deb repo that had mplayerplug-in and downloaded then installed that | 11:42 |
| agraupe | credmp: what does tja mean? | 11:42 |
| steveod | appears to work | 11:42 |
| credmp | agraupe, it means... tja.. you could do that... but what would be the point? | 11:43 |
| agraupe | and I just enter my user password for the "enter root password" boxes | 11:43 |
| credmp | agraupe, tja also means I had to much whiskey | 11:43 |
| agraupe | ah so | 11:43 |
| credmp | agraupe, smart kid :) | 11:43 |
| agraupe | wouldn't it be more secure to set a root password and disallow root the ability to log in? | 11:44 |
| credmp | agraupe, they all use gnome-su iirc... make it a graphical sudo | 11:44 |
| agraupe | right | 11:44 |
| credmp | agraupe, so... then you would use su to go to root to perform a task instead of doing exactly the same with sudo? | 11:44 |
| credmp | sudo su gives you root | 11:45 |
| credmp | too | 11:45 |
| credmp | the actual user | 11:45 |
| Tux234 | ok I'm back | 11:46 |
| agraupe | credmp: I see... I am saying that, wouldn't it be more useful to have a separate root password because then an attacker would have to guess a login/password pair and the root password to make any changes | 11:46 |
| Tux234 | Um excuse me | 11:46 |
| credmp | then you would also have to take the account out of adm group as well as revoke sudo rights | 11:46 |

| Tux234 | after rmmod | 11:52 |
