| uxi9000 | jeedee, did you notice a speed differenc with i686 ubuntu?? | 02:40 |
| SamBozo | agraupe, I switched to get xfce4 and bluefish and then went back and so far all it well | 02:40 |
| jeedee | Don't know, the i386 wont let me install so it's hard to say | 02:41 |

| guitarbuddha | steveod will those headers work with 2.6.8.1 | 02:50 |
| === jkg vaguely wonders why a dist-upgrade has just installed mtr-tiny in place of mtr | ||
| steveod | guitarbuddha, just do linux-headers-2.6-386 | 02:50 |
| steveod | guitarbuddha, yeah if you use these ones they will update everytime the kernel does | 02:50 |
| SamBozo | guitarbuddha, are you trying to satisfy vmware's request for headers? | 02:50 |
| guitarbuddha | yeah I am | 02:50 |
| SamBozo | lol .. so am I .. now on day 3 | 02:51 |
| guitarbuddha | lol | 02:51 |

| Telep | any idea how I can start an app (an SSH session in this case) using a different locale than the default? | 02:58 |
| Telep | I'm using utf-8 but need an ssh session with iso-8859-1 | 02:59 |
| ionrock | I recompiled my kernel for a laptop and it was not able to find the root file system. I had thought this was because of not having an initrd image but I tried it with one but it was a no go. any ideas? The only thing I noticed was that the ubunut kernel didn't seem to find it either but used lvm to boot (at least that is what I think happened) | 02:59 |

| Telep | in my .bashrc? | 03:01 |
| Telep | or somewhere else? | 03:01 |
| Telep | according to "locale" it is empty | 03:01 |
| steveod | jeedee: no i didn't see anything about that, not sure exactly what you mean though, it won't find your nic when you start the install? or it won't find the cd? | 03:01 |
| jeedee | Well so far the farthest I got is when it is searching for a ubuntu install cd | 03:02 |

| Kamion | Telep: what's "this way"? | 03:10 |
| agraupe | but the sound mixer has an OSS option... which seems to be the default | 03:10 |
| joem | agraupe, uses alsa and oss emulation via alsa | 03:10 |
| agraupe | is this just alsa emulation? | 03:10 |
| agraupe | oss emulation, rather? | 03:10 |
| agraupe | how can I get it to use pure alsa? | 03:11 |
| laander | anyone had troubles when logging out or rebooting the X server hangs? | 03:11 |
| joem | don't use oss output for anything I guess | 03:11 |
| Se7h | how can i list all pids running ? | 03:12 |

| agraupe | joem: I have just muted all the OSS channels, which seems to be working | 03:12 |
| Se7h | thanks | 03:12 |
| joem | that won't help any, if something ever trys to use oss output for some reason, you won't hear it..just set output to alsa where the option is available | 03:13 |
| === jimerich_ [~jimerich@Kitchener-HSE-ppp3563623.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| PenguinBoy | what was that Se7h | 04:37 |
| Se7h | cant remember | 04:37 |

| PenguinBoy | lol | 04:37 |
| BaseX | lol | 04:38 |
| sn0wman | opi, :) all the workstations at my university run gentoo. everyone here is a gentoo fr33k. | 04:38 |
| opi | it takes so f*king long to bring some stuff | 04:38 |
| Se7h | true true | 04:38 |
| Se7h | i've tried 2times installing it | 04:38 |
| opi | sn0wman: we just installed a box (server) that runs my webbased application | 04:38 |
| Se7h | for both | 04:38 |
| Se7h | i had problems at grub | 04:38 |
| Se7h | i gaved it up | 04:38 |
| opi | sn0wman: it's just a p2@350 | 04:38 |
| PenguinBoy | I tried installing it once but got confused | 04:39 |
| Se7h | when i get my 200gb back | 04:39 |
| opi | sn0wman: I've ssh'ed to it, to fix something | 04:39 |
| Se7h | i'll try it one more time | 04:39 |
| opi | sn0wman: but hey, no VIm | 04:39 |
| Se7h | since i already have grub | 04:39 |

| Se7h | i suppose it'll go sugar | 04:39 |
| PenguinBoy | does anyone have any idea when Ubuntu is gonna include KDE? | 04:39 |
| opi | sn0wman: more, iirc | 04:39 |
| opi | sn0wman: around 20 I guess | 04:39 |
| opi | but I like Gentoo overall | 04:40 |
| sn0wman | opi, yeah, portage is nice, but a sourced-based distro is a rediculous idea | 04:40 |
| opi | IF I don't have mantain it :) | 04:40 |
| BaseX | can't you get kde with "apt-get install kde" like debian? | 04:40 |
| Se7h | PenguinBoy read some forums about it | 04:40 |
| Se7h | but no very soon i suppose | 04:40 |
| opi | PenguinBoy: you know, Ubuntu is rather Gnome-centric | 04:40 |
| PenguinBoy | yes | 04:41 |
| opi | somone posted link with KDE resp | 04:41 |
| opi | search on mailing list archive or wiki | 04:41 |
| PenguinBoy | I am just a KDE fan.....but I will make the change...because I really really really like Ubuntu | 04:41 |
| opi | PenguinBoy: don't change your ways to software, change software :) | 04:42 |
| Se7h | right on opi | 04:42 |
| sn0wman | PenguinBoy, gnome is really easy to pick up especially the way it is all layed out by default in ubuntu | 04:42 |

| punkass | yes i know..its my pops old computer...all he does is email and surf | 04:49 |

| punkass | i was going to try vector linux with icewm | 04:49 |
| opi | punkass: go XFce :) | 04:49 |
| defendguin | eh | 04:50 |
| |trey| | opi: don't tell him that, that installs 3.x, that thing sucked | 04:50 |
| opi | oh | 04:50 |
| roddimus | it's pretty bothersome... so maybe someone could PM me, or something... | 04:50 |
| opi | don't go there | 04:50 |
| opi | roddimus: just say it here | 04:50 |
| punkass | |trey| the one in the ubuntu rep sucks? | 04:50 |
| opi | punkass: /s/sucks/old | 04:51 |
| punkass | yeah | 04:51 |
| |trey| | punkass: the xfce package does, xfce4 is nice though... | 04:51 |
| |trey| | fluxbox user before that... | 04:51 |
| punkass | hmm maybe ill try debian unstable with xfce then | 04:51 |
| opi | |trey|: if they going to breake XFce, Im goign back to Fluxbox and Ion | 04:51 |
| roddimus | Er, the problem goes like this, I download the drivers, and try to install them, they say i need kernel-source, so i apt-get that, and nvidia-gdl or something, and switch the driver to say nvidia | 04:52 |
| |trey| | opi: Ubuntu's GNOME is fast enough on this box :/ | 04:52 |
| roddimus | and now it says i have stuff configures wrong, even thogh i set it back to nv | 04:52 |
| opi | give us some logs of XF | 04:53 |
| roddimus | the logs say nothing of interest | 04:53 |
| opi | strange | 04:53 |
| |trey| | /var/log/XF[tab] | 04:53 |
| roddimus | but, i couls pastebin the end i suppose | 04:53 |
| punkass | |trey| it looks like unstable has 4.0.6 is that new enough? | 04:53 |
| punkass | cuz i sure dont want to compile...it on the 166 lol | 04:54 |
| roddimus | well, actually i have x.org installed, but like i said it was working | 04:54 |
| |trey| | punkass: umm, yeah | 04:54 |
| |trey| | punkass: Its GTK :/ loads libs faster etc... | 04:54 |
| roddimus | http://pastebin.com/108582 | 04:54 |

| avih | even OOo opens when clicking the download link of a .doc file from yahoo mail :) | 06:49 |
| PandU | since i can only chroot as root i guss the DISPLAY will be :0 | 06:49 |

| PandU | i am using chroot /mnt/hdc7 thats should be alright, i thought you should pass paramiters for x display | 06:54 |

| avih | yup | 07:44 |
| avih | had a warning or something. can't remember exactly. but it was managable | 07:44 |
| kaplanfx | punkass: I didn't do anything, in the ubuntu (morphix) live cd menu, I went into more options and choose 1280x1024 nvidia proprietary driver | 07:45 |
| punkass | kaplanfx: sorry came half way into the conversation | 07:45 |
| avih | but knoppix installed to the hd.. :/ :) | 07:45 |
| punkass | thought u had an install | 07:45 |
| kaplanfx | nope | 07:45 |
| kaplanfx | I use debian unstable as my main system anyhow | 07:45 |
| kaplanfx | I dunno if I want to move to ubuntu | 07:45 |
| kaplanfx | I'm checking it out to see if I will recommend it to friends that have been telling me they want to try linux | 07:46 |
| kaplanfx | so far so good | 07:46 |
| punkass | well i am using ubuntu..with a nvidia 5900 | 07:46 |
| punkass | and dual monitors | 07:46 |
| kaplanfx | punkass: im sure an install works | 07:46 |
| avih | i'm on xp.. but i'll get there. in the meantime, i check on interesting releases with vmware (hopefully with qemu.. but it's a bit slow for anything more than technical demonstration) | 07:46 |
| punkass | yeah its fine | 07:46 |
| kaplanfx | punkass: just a live cd problem | 07:46 |
| punkass | yeah...i havnt played with the live cd yet | 07:47 |

| bborkk | defendguin: How did you fix it? | 07:48 |
| avih | yet, it's cool. esp. with gnome 2.8 | 07:49 |
| kappy | I use kmail for my pop and gmail for my main account | 07:49 |
| defendguin | i set hdparm to never powerdown my drive | 07:49 |
| kappy | I don't use gnome generally, I usually use kde or xfce depending on the horsepower of the machine | 07:49 |
| bborkk | defendguin: I've never used hdparm... any quick suggestions? | 07:49 |
| kappy | so I don't know what to compare it to | 07:49 |
| defendguin | man hdparm | 07:49 |
| defendguin | i think hdparm -B is where you should be looking | 07:50 |
| avih | fluxbox for me on low-end machines. since theit "taskbar" got improved.. it's pretty usable. | 07:50 |
| bborkk | I'm doing that as we type. Thanks. | 07:50 |
| kappy | yeah fluxbox is neat | 07:50 |
| avih | fluxbox ob qemu works pretty sweet. | 07:50 |
| defendguin | just remember the lower the number of your setting the more aggressive it will be at shutting down your hdd | 07:50 |
| avih | on* | 07:50 |
| kappy | I run it on an old p120 laptop 24mb ram I play around with sometimes | 07:50 |
| bborkk | avih: I've been using fluxbox for a while... pretty nice. How did they improve the taskbar? | 07:50 |
| avih | lol | 07:50 |
| kappy | I like that black and red theme, I am blue green color blind so it really stands our for me | 07:51 |
| avih | the icons, putting apps on it, configuring it.. | 07:51 |
| bborkk | defendguin: It looks like hdparm -B is for interfacing to APM. Does it also work with ACPI? | 07:51 |
| kappy | screenshots like http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/zoom.php?shots/ikaro_fluxbox3.jpg make fluxbox look great | 07:52 |
| kappy | but its quite a bit of config to get there | 07:52 |
| defendguin | bborkk, let me check | 07:52 |
| bborkk | avih: Oh, that's exactly what it needed. I'll have to take a look at the latest version. | 07:52 |
| defendguin | bborkk, what about the S option? | 07:53 |
| avih | :) | 07:53 |
| kappy | avih, fluxbox is the best of the "lightweight" wm's | 07:53 |
| kappy | unless you consider xfce "lightweight" | 07:54 |
| === avih wonders how the hell do i scroll up with text-mode-irc | ||
| smeggy | Nothing tied to GTK+ could be considered lightweight ;) | 07:54 |
| kappy | avih, try shift-pgup | 07:54 |
| avih | didn't work | 07:54 |
| kappy | smeggy, true that | 07:54 |
| kappy | avih, try hitting scroll lock and using the arrow keys | 07:54 |
| avih | hmmm, scrl-lock doesn't work (at least from vmware) | 07:55 |
| kappy | what client? bitchx? | 07:55 |
| avih | nevermind :) that's a cool irc client anyway lol eventhough i forgot all the shortcuts :) | 07:55 |
| jdub | smeggy, kappy: that's a generalisation - 'lightweight' doesn't mean anything until you define it. | 07:55 |
| bborkk | defendguin: Seems like the -S option is for general use, not for going to sleep. Still, good to know about. | 07:55 |
| defendguin | sorry :( | 07:56 |
| smeggy | jdub, OK.. lets define lightweight as having minimal large dependencies ;) | 07:56 |
| kappy | jdub, yeah, but gtk is extra overhead for a slow system | 07:56 |
| avih | anyway, gotta go. have a great day everyone. and great distro :) l8r all | 07:56 |
| punkass | how is icewm? | 07:56 |
| jdub | smeggy: so if you're running a GTK+ only app, you don't have a lot of dependencies. | 07:56 |
| bborkk | I was just looking at the Fluxbox website and it mentions that Fluxbox has partial GNOME support. What exactly does a statement like that mean? | 07:56 |

| kappy | punkass: if you are going to go with icewm go with fluxbox, but thats only my opinion you should try both | 07:57 |
| jdub | smeggy: number of dependencies does not necessarily mean suboptimal memory usage or performance | 07:57 |
| punkass | well i am trying xfce first. | 07:57 |
| === smeggy hangs his head in shame | ||

| jdub | pango the library | 07:59 |
| Baumi | where can i see, if the LIRC module is included in the kernel? | 07:59 |

| punkass | jdub: how are u guys able to ship free cds...doesnt it cost a few $$ | 08:27 |
| jdub | punkass: yeah, only a few. | 08:28 |
| tck | its worth it for such a good os | 08:28 |
| crimsun | and since ubuntu is Taking Over The World, $ is no issue! | 08:28 |
| crimsun | =) | 08:28 |
| punkass | crimsun: i am stuck in a "Entering low memory mode" loop | 08:28 |
| tck | wait till next year, ubuntu will be up there with the rest | 08:28 |
| crimsun | punkass: alt+F2, fdisk and create a swap partition manually, mkswap, then swapon | 08:28 |
| tck | i'm surprised linuxiso.org doesnt have it up yet :P | 08:28 |
| punkass | hmm seems fdisk is unable to open /dev/hda | 08:30 |
| crimsun | punkass: you have to create the swap partition and mount it as early as possible | 08:30 |
| crimsun | i kept triggering that problem at our installfest a couple weekends ago | 08:31 |
| punkass | ah | 08:31 |
| crimsun | basically, as soon as the part* udebs have been loaded, immediately create and mount a swap partition in the console (alt+F2) | 08:31 |
| crimsun | it may take two tries | 08:32 |
| punkass | ok | 08:32 |
| crimsun | first time you can cfdisk /dev/hda and create the swap partition and mark it swap | 08:32 |
| crimsun | then save the table | 08:32 |
| crimsun | but you'll probably not have enough time to mkswap and swapon | 08:32 |
| crimsun | so after a reboot, since you've already run cfdisk and have a swap partition, mkswap and swapon | 08:33 |
| crimsun | you should be able to get it up and running, and the network detection will continue | 08:33 |
| crimsun | for me it kept spinning trying to unpack the wireless stuff | 08:33 |
| crimsun | (without swap being mounted) | 08:33 |
| punkass | well i just did a debian install so there already is a swap partition on the driv | 08:35 |
| punkass | e | 08:35 |
| crimsun | ok | 08:35 |
| crimsun | in that case you can just switch to the console and swapon | 08:35 |
| crimsun | swapon /dev/hdaX | 08:35 |
| punkass | No such file or dir | 08:36 |
| punkass | tried 1 thru 6 | 08:36 |
| punkass | but i am sure its on 1 | 08:36 |
| crimsun | your swap partition is /dev/hda1? | 08:36 |
| crimsun | ubuntu will fail to install if that's the case. | 08:36 |
| punkass | i believe so | 08:36 |
| punkass | oh | 08:36 |
| crimsun | you need to create the swap partition after you create a regular linux partition | 08:37 |
| crimsun | or the installer will refuse to install | 08:37 |
| punkass | ok well i still cant get cfdisk to find /dev/hda | 08:37 |
| bborkk | Would the XScreenSaver prevent a laptop from going into sleep mode? | 08:37 |
| crimsun | punkass: timing issue | 08:37 |

| crimsun | punkass: you _must_ cfdisk _as soon_ as the part* udebs have been loaded | 08:38 |
| punkass | ok guz it chokes right after they do | 08:38 |
| punkass | s/guz/cuz | 08:38 |

| smeggy | not the distro | 09:11 |

| Red_Menace | So thanks a lot | 09:42 |
| mojo | hi all ppl | 09:47 |
| mojo | I'm wondering who's responsible for FireFox in Ubuntu? | 09:48 |
| mojo | I got a patch to remove the line seperator in Help on the menubar | 09:48 |
| === free is now known as freefk | ||
| Red_Menace | If I wanna get the 64bit source, do I use apt-get install linux-source? | 09:52 |
| bob2 | mojo: file a bug about it. | 09:53 |
| bob2 | Red_Menace: aren't 64-bit kernels built from regular kernel.org tarballs? | 09:53 |
| Red_Menace | I really have no idea. I'm pretty new to the linux world. | 09:54 |
| === plangent [~plangent@user-0ce2kdq.cable.mindspring.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| bob2 | the amd64 ubuntu port has a 64-bit kernel, anyway | 09:54 |
| bob2 | the whole distro is 64-bit, except for weird things like openoffice. | 09:54 |
| Red_Menace | Yah, I'm running the 64bit kernel now, I just need the source so I can compile a module | 09:54 |
| bob2 | which module? | 09:55 |
| Red_Menace | It's a NIC driver by Nvidia for the NForce3 chipset | 09:55 |
| bob2 | and you almost certainly don't need the source to build it, the linux-headers-2.6 package is enough. | 09:55 |
| Red_Menace | ok | 09:55 |
| bob2 | are you sure ubuntu doesn't include it already? | 09:55 |
| Red_Menace | well, I tried to install the drivers and it said it could not build the module because the source was missing. | 09:56 |
| === alakdan [~alakdan@210.5.84.228] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Red_Menace | looked in /usr/src and there was nothing there | 09:56 |
| bob2 | Red_Menace: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 09:57 |
| bob2 | looks like you just need the forcedeth module. | 09:57 |
| Red_Menace | There are several header packages to choose from ... how do I find out which has been used to compile my kernel? | 09:57 |
| bob2 | and you'd need to install the linux-headers-2.6 package to be able to build the module. | 09:58 |
| Red_Menace | ls | 09:58 |
| mojo | bob2: where to submit the GTK conversion patch for OOo.org? Ubuntu Bugzilla or OOo.org Bugzilla or GNOME Bugzilla? | 09:58 |
| bob2 | Red_Menace: install linux-headers-2.6-amd64, I think. but you're sure the forcedeth module doesn't work? | 09:59 |

| mojo | bob2: yes, I'm extending all their codes, fix bugs (that's why I call it patch) | 09:59 |
| bob2 | Red_Menace: are you sure ubuntu doesn't include the sound module? | 09:59 |

| bob2 | you can't play quicktime with ubuntu. | 10:29 |
| Iorek | that seems unlikely, I'm sure you can do it in Debian | 10:30 |
| bob2 | you need mplayer or such, which isn't in ubuntu. | 10:30 |
| Iorek | mhhh...suse could do it with xine... | 10:31 |
| bob2 | maybe they can only play the unpatented codecs. | 10:32 |
| mrben_away | you can install mplayer on ubuntu if you add the marillat sources to your sources.list | 10:33 |

| mrben_away | deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main | 10:33 |

| Treenaks | absurdhero: airport express linux module ? | 11:12 |
| absurdhero | airport express linux module (or driver) brings up yellowdog and other places noting the lack of support. thats it | 11:12 |
| absurdhero | no sf.net pages, no useful mailing lists, nothing | 11:13 |
| absurdhero | i probably need the model of the chip to get any further | 11:13 |
| Treenaks | add source | 11:13 |
| absurdhero | since that would get non-technical stuff out of the picture | 11:13 |
| Treenaks | add patch | 11:13 |
| absurdhero | ya, ill try source | 11:13 |

| Treenaks | SpamHog: yes there is | 11:20 |
| Treenaks | SpamHog: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 | 11:20 |
| Treenaks | SpamHog: I told you | 11:20 |
| Treenaks | SpamHog: you can switch to the other console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 11:20 |
| Treenaks | (are you sure the mouse is in the 'mouse' socket and the keyboard in the 'keyboard' socket, and the cables from your KVM are correct as well? | 11:21 |

| Smeven | haha | 12:04 |
| Smeven | My question has somewhat to do with packages that are nice, but arent included into ubuntu | 12:05 |
| Smeven | most of them relate to dvd | 12:05 |

| Treenaks | I wonder why ubuntu doesn't install abiword-gnome and gnumeric by default... they're much less bloated than openoffice | 12:56 |
| joem | openoffice is more well known | 12:56 |
| joem | once of the reasons epiphany isn't installed by default | 12:57 |
| joem | er once | 12:57 |
| Treenaks | joem: windows is more well known too, doesn't make it better. | 12:57 |
| joem | ah, one | 12:57 |
| LoneElf | Ack, i didnt have universe in my sources.list. | 12:57 |
| jdub | Treenaks: OOo is the 'market leader', despite gnumeric being technically better. | 12:57 |
| j^ | does abiword use the open office format by now? | 12:57 |
| jdub | Treenaks: a distribution shipping abiword/gnumeric over OOo would not be taken seriously. | 12:58 |
| joem | it uses its own format | 12:58 |
| joem | .abw | 12:58 |
| jdub | Treenaks: however, abiword and gnumeric are in our supported set. | 12:58 |
| Treenaks | joem: that's another thing... OOo en abw/gnumeric should settle on a common, standard file type | 12:59 |
| Treenaks | uh | 12:59 |
| Treenaks | jdub: | 12:59 |
| j^ | joem thats is worn, kwirte finaly switched to use the open office format, will abiword switch its default any time? | 12:59 |
| j^ | joem *wrong | 12:59 |
| jdub | Treenaks: it is likely that they will all use the OOo formats soon enough. | 12:59 |
| joem | I don't know | 12:59 |
| joem | there all openformat xml files, but I'm sure they will settle on something | 12:59 |
| Treenaks | jdub: once they do they'll probably need integration in the 'Preferred applications' stuff? | 01:01 |
| LoneElf | are there any cool GL benchmarking utilities for linux that look cool? | 01:01 |
| Treenaks | LoneElf: any GL xscreensaver -- most have a -fps option | 01:02 |
| jdub | Treenaks: unlikely | 01:03 |
| bob2 | LoneElf: glxgears. | 01:03 |
| Treenaks | jdub: then OOo needs de-bloating | 01:03 |
| Treenaks | (but I don't know enough C++) | 01:03 |
| j^ | bob2 GL benchmarking utilities *that look cool*, not glxgears | 01:04 |
| vrln | LoneElf: doom3 timedemo1 :) | 01:04 |
| joem | glxgears looks cool :) | 01:04 |

| jdub | Treenaks: please don't use the word 'bloat' when referring to these kinds of issues - it doesn't mean anything :) | 01:14 |
| jdub | Treenaks: the major issue for OOo is startup performance | 01:14 |
| jdub | Treenaks: which is substantially improved in 2.0 | 01:15 |
| jdub | (as is memory usage, so i hear) | 01:15 |

| jdub | Treenaks: that's not even remotely surprising :-) | 01:16 |
| jdub | Treenaks: OOo does a heck of a lot more than XFree86 | 01:16 |
| jdub | and i'm understating that ;) | 01:16 |
| Treenaks | jdub: maybe it does too much for one package? | 01:17 |
| joem | it the nature of office suites to do lots of stuff | 01:17 |
| joem | thats what they are designed for | 01:17 |
| j^ | theantix is not one package but a suite of packages | 01:17 |
| jdub | Treenaks: the component parts share a huge amount of infrastructure - that makes sense :-) | 01:17 |
| j^ | Treenaks the was | 01:17 |
| jdub | Treenaks: you could ship them separately, but that wouldn't change much | 01:18 |
| jdub | (apart from being a more maintainable distribution and development method, the benefits of which you can see in gnome) | 01:18 |
| jdub | but, well, doing that with OOo would be a massive, massive challenge at this stage ;-) | 01:18 |
| Treenaks | jdub: like the Firefox thing Mozilla did? | 01:19 |
| Treenaks | jdub: (and Thunderbird, etc.) | 01:19 |
| jdub | no, deeper actually | 01:19 |
| jdub | firefox is still fairly monolithic | 01:19 |
| jdub | moreso, in fact | 01:19 |

| joem | I'm not to into the openoffice world, don't know much of what goes on | 01:22 |
| jdub | joem: ooo-ximian is the branch that novell, red hat and debian work on -> we do have it :-) | 01:22 |

| andid | with | 02:18 |
| AndersAA | yeah, actually that makes sense | 02:18 |
| AndersAA | but... it not having that file doesn't make sense | 02:19 |
| andid | hmm im new to linux | 02:19 |
| AndersAA | you didn't boot with any custom flags or something? | 02:19 |
| andid | i even don know how to do that ;) | 02:19 |
| AndersAA | figured as much | 02:19 |
| AndersAA | that's really odd | 02:19 |
| andid | i did a default installation and hoped that it would work | 02:19 |
| AndersAA | are you close to the computer now? | 02:19 |
| AndersAA | it generally will | 02:19 |
| andid | yeah i am close to it | 02:20 |
| andid | have to go up some stairs | 02:20 |
| andid | but thats no problem | 02:20 |
| AndersAA | try apt-get install xserver-xfree86 | 02:20 |
| AndersAA | login, sudo apt-get install xserver-xfree86 | 02:20 |
| andid | ok and than? | 02:20 |
| AndersAA | see what that says | 02:20 |
| AndersAA | that package should already be installed | 02:20 |
| siretart | andid: which installation media did you use? | 02:20 |
| AndersAA | you could try sudo ln -s /usr/bin/X11/XFree86 /etc/X11/X aswell | 02:21 |
| andid | i downloaded the i386 iso image and burned it on cd | 02:21 |
| AndersAA | did you say yes to installing packages from the internet? Could be it screwed up there somehow | 02:21 |
| andid | yes i dit | 02:21 |
| andid | did | 02:21 |
| andid | and he downloaded all packages | 02:21 |
| andid | or i think he did so | 02:22 |
| AndersAA | login, sudo apt-get install xserver-xfree86 <-- try that | 02:22 |
| AndersAA | ... no, try the ln line | 02:22 |
| === AndersAA 's tired, heh | ||

| === paws [snowball@paws.csh.rit.edu] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Tzalidar | yeah, i got it free on the net | 02:23 |
| sertmann | two quick questions i hope you can help me with... does ubuntu use x.org or xfree86 as default? couse i've been changing my xfree86-config4 beyond recognition and i still only run in 640x480 mode... | 02:24 |
| bob2 | xfree86. | 02:25 |
| AndersAA | xfree86 | 02:25 |
| AndersAA | try checking your log file, could be it's detecting your monitor wrong and keeping you in 640x480 because of that | 02:25 |
| sertmann | and is there a tutorial on setting up the propetary nvidia drivers somewhere, couse it seems it's quite different from debian, as you can't apt-get the kernel source and image... | 02:26 |
| === tuhl [~tuhl@pC19EB13F.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| andid | ok im back | 02:27 |
| sertmann | seems like my monitor is detected just fine.... with appropriate freq. detection and all | 02:27 |
| andid | i did the ln line and restarted the machine | 02:27 |
| andid | and now i got this error: /etc/X11/X is not executable | 02:27 |
| AndersAA | yeah, figured as much | 02:27 |
| AndersAA | chances are it's an invalid link or something | 02:27 |
| AndersAA | what I'd do for a quick fix without doing any advanced stuff is just reinstall and say no when it asks to update stuff from the internet | 02:28 |
| AndersAA | you can do that later | 02:28 |
| andid | and than? | 02:28 |
| AndersAA | I'll guess instead of installing from the cd, it's "sync's" the package tree and tries to install updated packages from the internet instead of installing from cd and then updating. | 02:28 |
| AndersAA | which means if it fails to download something it won't install that package at all | 02:28 |
| AndersAA | you can probably update your system after install without problems | 02:28 |
| andid | i tried this out last night | 02:28 |
| andid | and x wont come up too | 02:29 |
| AndersAA | same error message? | 02:29 |
| andid | yeah | 02:29 |
| andid | so today i updated packages, did apt-get upgrade | 02:29 |
| andid | and apt-get install gdm | 02:29 |
| AndersAA | hmm.... I'd try bug reporting this if I were you, hopefully they'll have some suggestions on what went wrong | 02:29 |

| andid | oh thats good | 02:30 |
| AndersAA | this would probably be a pretty high priority bug, so it should be fixed soon. | 02:31 |

| AndersAA | sertmann: well, if you have configured your file with X -configure it puts the config file in your homedir, which overrides system's /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 configfile | 02:35 |

| Mithrandir | mark.shuttleworth@canonical.com, iirc. | 02:37 |
| tuhl | thanks | 02:37 |
| sertmann | ah, seems you were right Anders, hsync out of range.... anyway to check this, cz i don't have the manual, and it doesn't state on the monitor.... | 02:41 |
| sertmann | ehm any way | 02:41 |
| AndersAA | if you comment ouf the hsync and vsync lines it'll try to auto detect em | 02:41 |

| izmaelis | what is so special about ubuntu linux? | 02:47 |

| izmaelis | (-: | 02:48 |
| izmaelis | what do you mean by that? | 02:48 |
| sertmann | just joking.... | 02:49 |
| izmaelis | no, really, why should anyone choose this distro? | 02:50 |
| sertmann | supposedly it's debian with a more frequent release cycle, which suits me fine if i could only get it to work properly | 02:50 |
| sertmann | and it's fast too | 02:50 |
| === freefk is now known as free | ||
| izmaelis | no offence, but i think that source based linux distros are faster than binary package based ones | 02:53 |
| Noodles | Wasn't that disproved though? | 02:53 |
| joem | depends on your definition of fast | 02:53 |

| goatboy | Mithrandir: me. | 04:42 |
| FiFi | i have ubuntu installed and working on a sata disk drive (/dev/sda), i can access my cdrom drive (/dev/hda) but devices for 2 my two ide disk drives aren't created (no hdb or hdc in /dev/) | 04:42 |
| FiFi | i tried MAKEDEV, but it doesn't work (cause of udev i think) | 04:42 |
| FiFi | when i look into /proc/ide i can find specifications for the two hard disk drive | 04:42 |

| iainm | hey folks. I just installed warty from a daily I downloaded a few days ago. While the installer was running after booting from the CD, the monitor switched on and off throughout the installation. After the reboot and loading from disc, the problem went away. Is there anyone here who'd like to work on it now, I should I bugzilla it? | 05:03 |
| Mithrandir | iainm: our installer hacker is away atm, so you should probably file a bug in bugzilla about it. | 05:04 |
| Mithrandir | it sounds very weird, though. | 05:04 |
| iainm | it is. The OSD thingy goes away as well - it looked like it was switching in and out of power save, so it's all quite unfathomable to me. | 05:05 |
| === iainm goes to bugzilla. | ||
| Mithrandir | iainm: there might be some boot options that can be twiddled to turn off those things during the install, I don't know. | 05:06 |
| iainm | which component should I file it for? base-installer, debian-installer and ubuntu-base seem like the potential candidates, but I'm not sure which one is most appropriate. | 05:09 |
| Mithrandir | debian-installer, probably. | 05:09 |

| Flatfoot | hey chrisz | 07:28 |
| |trey| | Tzalidar: Both are pretty good, try both. | 07:28 |
| Tzalidar | maybe i should try bluefish while im in a gtk environment anyway | 07:28 |

| Tzalidar | yeah, ill do that | 07:28 |
| swoon_ | goatboy / Mithrandir after install the two packages, is there anything I need to do before starting X ? | 07:28 |

| nitin | bluefish is not really web dev spacific | 07:28 |
| absurdhero | i prefer bluefish myself, but I don't use any special editors any more | 07:28 |

| nitin | when it boots up with ch | 07:31 |
| nitin | cd | 07:31 |

| Tzalidar | the yoper guys use lilo ;) | 07:32 |
| chrisz | bah ;) | 07:32 |
| Tzalidar | because "its the only bootloader that boots reiser4" | 07:32 |
| absurdhero | is there a liveCD for PPC? | 07:33 |
| nitin | computer->system conf->screen solution | 07:33 |
| absurdhero | if so, how do you make it go "Live"? | 07:33 |
| chrisz | i don't use reiser4, so no biggie | 07:33 |
| SolarHydro | max is 1024 | 07:33 |
| chrisz | thanks guys | 07:33 |
| nitin | ull have to edit the | 07:33 |
| nitin | XF config file | 07:33 |
| nitin | i guess | 07:33 |
| absurdhero | the installer came up when I ran the PPC CD | 07:33 |

| SolarHydro | I'm a linux noob, dunno how to do that | 07:33 |

| SolarHydro | I'm a linux noob, dunno how to do that, need someone to talk me through it | 07:53 |
| bborkk | SolarHydro: Do you mean Computer->System Preferences->Screen Resolution? | 07:53 |
| swoon__ | bborkk: seems synaptic is already installed | 07:53 |
| |trey| | SolarHydro: you really don't, it walks you through it itself, just read. | 07:53 |
| swoon__ | ok thanks Mithrandir ... btw could you help me getting my touchpad to work... synaptic is installed already... | 07:53 |
| SolarHydro | Computer->System Preferences->Screen Resolution? offers max 1024*768 | 07:54 |

| |trey| | SolarHydro: from command line... 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' | 07:54 |

| SolarHydro | where is command line? | 07:55 |
| SolarHydro | (I am a noob) | 07:55 |
| |trey| | SolarHydro: Applications > System tools > Terminal | 07:55 |
| bborkk | swoon: How do you know synaptic is installed? Are you sure you're not looking at the package manager? | 07:55 |
| |trey| | Or Root Terminal | 07:55 |
| |trey| | that would work too, takes away need for "sudo" | 07:55 |
| SolarHydro | command not found :( | 07:56 |
| bborkk | SolarHydro: You can also right click anywhere on the desktop and choose "Open Terminal". | 07:56 |

| sri | is someone planning on packaging multisync? | 08:20 |
| Mithrandir | swoon___: try to just use psmouse | 08:20 |

| === tck [~tck@206-15-133-102.dialup.ziplink.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| Tzalidar | you can enable root | 09:19 |
| fughidabo | I downloaded the installation CD (warty-i386.iso) and tried to install ubuntu this morning - I get to the splash screen (that allows you to press F1 for help, or start the install) - after I press enter some stuff gets loaded...but I get a nice black screen | 09:19 |
| fughidabo | so I never see the initial installation screen | 09:20 |
| nic__ | getting the error: bitblt.c:27:27: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory...then various others. I assume it means I'm missing a package I need, but can you advise me what it could be? | 09:20 |
| bulvine | I dont ever remember setting up a root PW in ubun tu | 09:21 |
| Tzalidar | that is because ubuntu uses sudo for administrative tasks | 09:21 |

| Tzalidar | did you give it the option "umask=0" ? | 09:31 |
| Tzalidar | umount /mnt/win | 09:31 |
| bulvine | umm no I took that out cause I kept getting an error when I used it | 09:31 |
| Tzalidar | ok | 09:31 |
| coe | Hi. I just installed Ubuntu and have a question. How do I get the Gnome sound to work? | 09:31 |
| bulvine | my bad | 09:31 |
| bulvine | unmount /mnt/windows | 09:32 |
| Tzalidar | sudo mount -t ntfs -o ro,user,exec /dev/sdx /mnt/windows | 09:32 |
| Tzalidar | umount | 09:32 |
| Tzalidar | not unmount | 09:32 |
| bulvine | uppsss no in the terminal :) | 09:32 |
| coe | The sound in Totem works when i play MP3s and videos | 09:32 |
| bulvine | DOH! my bad again | 09:32 |
| bulvine | ok unmounted | 09:33 |
| Tzalidar | coe: i alltso had some trouble with that, although i dont remember exactly how i solved it :/ | 09:33 |
| bulvine | had to use sudo again | 09:33 |
| Tzalidar | oh, i forgot ;) | 09:33 |
| coe | Tzalidar: That's too bad :-( I'll keep working on it. | 09:34 |
| Tzalidar | coe: do you use alsA? | 09:34 |
| coe | Tzalidar, Yes | 09:34 |
| bulvine | this worked but lost access sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows | 09:34 |
| Tzalidar | that mount is dangerous | 09:35 |
| Tzalidar | because then you have write access | 09:35 |
| Tzalidar | and ntfs write is very unstable | 09:35 |
| bulvine | I need to write | 09:35 |
| Tzalidar | coe: install libesd-alsa0 | 09:35 |
| Tzalidar | and then you need to change some keys in gconf | 09:35 |
| Tzalidar | bug begin with installing that | 09:36 |
| bulvine | I have a driver "mpegport.sys causeing my XP to keep restarting. I need to rename the file so it doesnt get loaded | 09:36 |
| Tzalidar | okay | 09:36 |
| bulvine | other wise its reloaded time again | 09:36 |
| coe | Tzalidar, I'll try that. Thanks | 09:36 |
| [photon] | has anyone had any luck with installing x.org on ubuntu? | 09:36 |
| bulvine | I have reload time | 09:36 |

| Tzalidar | oh, a nasty reboot loop | 09:36 |
| Tzalidar | a friend of mine had one once | 09:37 |
| bulvine | yeah MS strikes again | 09:37 |
| Tzalidar | and it got fixed by nuking the registry | 09:37 |
| Tzalidar | and then inserting one from a restore point | 09:37 |
| bulvine | dam decrypter drivers | 09:37 |
| swim | ah is there anyway to get nautilus to show full paths, and to show a toolbar with go up one level and regular stuff like that? | 09:37 |
| Tzalidar | i recommend | 09:37 |
| Tzalidar | that you use the repair console | 09:37 |
| Tzalidar | since i'm not sure how safe ntfs write is | 09:37 |
| almostlucky | Is there somewhere I can get a lame package? I want to encode to mp3, and sound juicer tells me I do not have the encoder installed | 09:37 |
| zugzwang | anyone managed to get wine compiled? It complains at a lack of "X11/Intrinsic.h" for me - and I don't know what package that header is in | 09:37 |
| bulvine | I would but XP doesnt work in repair mode with my SATA drive | 09:38 |
| Tzalidar | coe: tell me when you have installed that | 09:38 |
| Tzalidar | bulvine :/ | 09:38 |
| bulvine | all i was to do is rename or delete that file | 09:38 |
| Tzalidar | why not encode to ogg :) | 09:38 |
| Tzalidar | okay | 09:38 |
| coe | Tzalidar, Done. It removed "libesd0" in the process | 09:38 |
| Tzalidar | okay | 09:38 |
| Tzalidar | applications->system tools->config editor | 09:39 |
| Tzalidar | i have swedish translation so im not 100% sure about the path :) | 09:39 |

| === absurdhero [~absurd@c-67-166-157-148.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Tzalidar | bulvine: you could mount your ntfs partition with -o rw | 09:42 |
| Tzalidar | then you could rename the file | 09:42 |
| Tzalidar | or delete it | 09:42 |
| Tzalidar | but i'm not sure how stable ntfs write is | 09:42 |
| bulvine | worth a shot since its dead now anyways | 09:42 |
| bulvine | whats the command line on that again? | 09:42 |
| Tzalidar | okay ;) good luck! :) | 09:42 |
| Tzalidar | to mount? | 09:42 |
| Tzalidar | or to rename the file? | 09:43 |
| coe | Tzalidar, I have a key named esdsink.. SHould I change that | 09:43 |
| bulvine | yes sir | 09:43 |
| Tzalidar | or to delete de file? | 09:43 |
| Tzalidar | yes | 09:43 |
| Tzalidar | you should rename it to alsa | 09:43 |

| longsleep | Tzalidar, also nice is Wing IDE (not free) | 10:53 |
| longsleep | Tzalidar, and there is Komodo from activestate | 10:53 |
| Tzalidar | longsleep, okay, boaconstructor looks very powerful ;) | 10:53 |

| hazmat | longsleep i've been dual booting osx/gentoo for a while.. kicked gentoo ;-) | 10:58 |
| hazmat | i had to use osx at the conference to get the external monitor support going for presentations. | 10:58 |
| longsleep | hazmat, ahh thats not workin on linux? | 10:58 |
| Tzalidar | wow, im hooked with boa ;) | 10:59 |
| hazmat | longsleep not with powerbooks, not yet.. in the future it might work with xorg | 10:59 |
| enrico | arthur: ciao | 10:59 |

| longsleep | hazmat, there are mono packages | 11:00 |
| arthur | enrico do you seak italian? | 11:00 |
| hazmat | longsleep not really | 11:00 |
| hazmat | longsleep not for ppc | 11:00 |
| longsleep | ahh ok | 11:00 |
| longsleep | that might be | 11:00 |
| longsleep | but look at deb http://www.getsweaaa.com/~tseng/ubuntu/debs ./ | 11:01 |
| enrico | arthur: in fact, I do :) | 11:01 |
| hazmat | and the beagle/dashboard stuff needs a kernel patch for inotify, and several packages from cvs (evolution-csharp, dbus-csharp) | 11:01 |

| Tzalidar | hazmat: sleek interface | 11:04 |

| hazmat | Tzalidar, mondo functionality.. class diagrams, svn integration, qt-designer, gui unit tester, etc, etc. ;-) | 11:04 |

| Tzalidar | Zomb, strange | 11:05 |

| Tzalidar | sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:15 |
| hazmat | Tzalidar, for cross platform, devel i prefer wx. gtk and qt have better object models, qt has the nicer object model imo. gtk works well for linux and windows apps, programming gtk in c is painful imho. license wise, you can use qt for osx and linux apps for free, it has nice tool support (kdevelop/qt-linguist/qt-designer).. gtk has glade, but part of thats style preference for auto generated code vs. loading ui models at runtime. | 11:15 |

| tck | im trying to mount a usb key ; not having much luck! | 11:57 |
| tck | /dev/sda isn't availale, how does ubuntu handle it | 11:57 |
| Blissex | tck: in theory it should be fully automatic. | 11:58 |
| Blissex | tck: first check what 'lsusb' says to make sure the device is recognized. | 11:59 |
| Blissex | tck: then check 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' to see if it is there at all. | 11:59 |
