[12:45] so I wonder why it doesn't [12:45] well I noticed that if I upgraded my kernel from 386 compiled to linix-k7 in my case and didn't also install the restricted module it wouldn;t work [12:46] Did you issue this command after installing the driver: sudo nvidia-glx-config enable ?

This is not solved by restarting X, and attempts at restarting the hotplug servicealso freeze that tty and are unkillable. I [05:24] have a usb wheel mouse and am using the nvidia driver. Is this a known problem with a workaround?

[05:37] (for the release) [05:38] was there a new kernel or no?

I can ask in here perhaps, does the ubuntu installer have a way of moving data to a network target before installing? [09:23] however, we need at least *some* non-Canonical staff to test the CD images :-P [09:23] maswan: sure -- drop to a shell and copy it ;) [09:23] maswan: the belt-and-braces approach with tar and nc is about the best I can think of [09:24] Kamion: ah, nc is available?

[09:30] well time to get back to work managing these redhat boxes [09:30] later all [09:30] <|trey|> punkass: if you customized it a lot, it will make you mad to redo that... but if the config mechanism changed, it might be a good thing... [09:30] Just found out that anacron is not installed by default === maswan keeps rebooting until he gets it right :) === _yam is now known as yam [09:30] yeah..most of the ones it asks me about i have never touched, but it still says: ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation. [09:30] not such a good idea imo, a small distro like U will be run on workstations a lot, and they would benefit from anacron [09:31] <|trey|> joolz: its hardly different from the cron installed... not a big deal... [09:32] Unlike cron(8), it does not assume that the machine [09:32] is running continuously. Hence, it can be used on machines that arent [09:32] running 24 hours a day, to control daily, weekly, and monthly jobs that [09:32] are usually controlled by cron. [09:32] Sounds good for a workstation [09:32] <|trey|> joolz: I never reboot... [09:33] i shut it down every night. It's just a workstation [09:33] <|trey|> No point rebooting if things are working, only if you get a new kernel === free_ [~free@81-208-74-187.fastres.net] has joined #ubuntu [09:33] and i guess i'm not the only one doing that [09:33] one problem with anacron is that it tends to cause the machine to do enormous amounts of work right after you boot it up [09:33] |trey|: I get a new kernel every day :) [09:33] which is exactly when you want to be able to just use the damn thing, not wait for updatedb to run [09:34] <|trey|> If the machine isn't on, and I didn't redo the script, I obviously didn't care that much :/ [09:34] <|trey|> joolz: first question, why? [09:34] what package do i need to install to get 'distutils' [09:35] |trey|: there's been a new kernel a day in Warty for the last week or so [09:35] punkass: python-dev, probably [09:35] <|trey|> punkass: apt-cache search distutils [09:35] OK, now imagine a company with lots of workstations running U.

[09:36] |trey|: Ubuntu won't be beta for very long [09:36] |trey|: no, of course not. But it will come out of beta someday, right? [09:37] <|trey|> Kamion: and hopefully, when it comes out of beta status, there won't be daily upgrades of the kernel...

Maybe in a year or so. I;m running U now on my own desktop [09:42] that's what i liked about it, debian based and small [09:42] perfect for a desktop [09:42] <|trey|> joolz: in all honesty, I would likely use Novell in a business environment if I had the choice anyway... [09:42] |trey|: I have a netware server + two debian stables [09:43] <|trey|> Only because ZENworks and ConsoleOne + eDirectory makes life a lot easier for administrators...

I want to limit what they do... [09:48] |trey|: it's the first thing I show to users.. [09:49] <|trey|> Treenaks: then you risk showing them how to do your job... then you end up without one... [09:49] Treenaks: the new ironically named plastik is much better looking theme and apparently will be the default for kde 4.0 (next release) [09:49] |trey|: if you have to resort to stuff like that to keep your job, you're a lousy admin [09:49] |trey|: most people don't want to be admins [09:50] <|trey|> Treenaks: I do though... === oseb [~oseb@211.44.21.248] has joined #ubuntu [09:50] |trey|: and people who know the CLI aren't instant admins..

[09:51] <|trey|> calc: gstreamer is being used within KDE... (Juk for example) you know this though... [09:52] |trey|: it's too configurable.. it takes 3 hours to configure it the way I like it, and tended to forget my settings sometimes [09:52] |trey|: gnome is good by default (different background image, different window border theme and I'm done) [09:52] <|trey|> I do prefer gstreamer to other simular technologies... but its part of freedesktop... [09:52] |trey|: ithm gnome-system-tools [09:52] kde's menus are so full of stuff, i prefer the gnome simplicity nowadays [09:52] <|trey|> Treenaks: Kiosk lets you do it for them, and doesn't let them do it later... [09:52] what i don't like about gnome and especially kde is that it's not so easy to admin it with scripts. fvwm is ideal for that, very little bloat too [09:53] |trey|: well aiui there is no kdegst0.8 so that will be dropped in the next upload, since the bindings are now out of date [09:53] but the market is going gnome + kde, so i have to choose between the 2 of them [09:53] |trey|: no, it takes ME 3 hours to configure KDE for MY desktop..

[10:27] yes, I'm well aware of what DRDOS is [10:29] I'm interested to see whether OES will be available without the Netware components, or whether Novell will distribute OES and SuSE as separate products [10:29] nate is correct [10:29] drdos was just a bootloader [10:29] then it booted into netware [10:29] <|trey|> nate: re netware NLM's... yes... because netware will still be there... of course they won't work on the linux kernels... [10:29] yep, i used to admin netware back in 3/4 days [10:29] which was more of a unix then anything [10:29] lol [10:29] before drdos (iirc) [10:29] calc: no thats when it used it as a bootloader [10:30] it just flew by for about 30 seconds [10:30] We're running Netware 6.5 at the moment [10:30] then into netware [10:30] phin: hmm i thought it still used msdos at that time [10:30] mmm [10:30] it still was loaded by dos, but i don't think they had drdos at that time, maybe so [10:30] I think DRDOS was introduced around Netware 5 [10:30] calc: i belive it could use either [10:30] they are the same === |trey| has admin'ed a 6.5 server... [10:30] pretty much [10:30] when they started trying to seriously compete with Microsoft in the network space [10:30] well ya [10:30] they bought drdos [10:30] except, well, not having a desktop... [10:30] digital research [10:31] i used freedos for a bbs a while back [10:31] :( [10:31] :) [10:31] might be old news, just came across this: http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/10/12/1421241 [10:31] i mean === Solkaris [~niko@c-24-21-32-92.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:31] <|trey|> nate: and now they are the leaders in development of 2 :) [10:31] yeah [10:31] anyone know how to change the default icon for a MIME type in Gnome 2.8 ? [10:31] Things are looking up for the big red N [10:31] <|trey|> nate: indeed :) [10:32] thank god [10:32] i loved novell [10:32] i was pretty peeved when it fell off [10:33] or should I be asking that in a Gnome channel? === |trey| is looking forward to the day he can buy any hardware, and order any linux preinstalled... novell appears to be most likely to have that widespread... [10:33] hmm my card only gets 2mbit/s ?! [10:33] is that a driver thing? === nate is downloading the daily 50 megs of updates [10:34] |trey|: until m$ gets knocked down several pegs it won't happen with anyone [10:35] |trey|: I don't trust pre-installed linux :) [10:35] <|trey|> calc: hopefully, dropping 1.6 billion will put a sufficient dent in their armer :) [10:35] <|trey|> Treenaks: never actually made such a purchase... usually built my own boxes... but yeah... [10:36] anyone have a clue how to change the default icon for a MIME type in 2.8 .. old dialog is gone and new one doesn't seem to support it [10:36] Solkaris: use another theme? [10:37] blah .. there is a perfectly decent icon to use [10:37] <|trey|> Solkaris: right click, properties. click on the picture... [10:37] [trey] that changes it for that file .. not that MIME type [10:37] doh |trey| that is [10:37] |trey|: m$ is giving some huge # billions to its stock holders as dividend, losing 1.6 billion won't do anything at all to it [10:37] <|trey|> Solkaris: people seemed to be refering to the icon :/ [10:38] |trey|: they already have some much money they don't know what to do with it literally so they are giving most of it back to stockholders [10:38] <|trey|> right click a file... "Open With" and pick something else... [10:38] |trey| again that doesn't change the default icon for that MIME type [10:38] it just changes the default program [10:39] <|trey|> Solkaris: never occured to me to care about a picture so much :/ [10:40] <|trey|> So long as I can access files from the program I want, I am usually happy :/ === jacob [~jacob@h146n1fls23o1061.bredband.comhem.se] has joined #ubuntu [10:40] <|trey|> Guess I was leaving something important out though? [10:40] well for some odd reason this icon collection has a icon for ogg files but isnt using them .. its just a plain white square which is rather annoying [10:40] I think the icon theme decides what icon gets used..so editing that, or replacing the icon you don't want with the one you do [10:41] <|trey|> joem: apparently changing the icon doesn't change it or something :/ [10:43] joem thats a no go .. they problem is with the way a file is registered as a MIME type .. and there doesnt seem to be any f'ing way to change that in Gnome 2.8 [10:44] there are icons for the file type [10:44] its not about the icon file .. its about the MIME type setting within Gnome === longsleep|out is now known as longsleep [10:46] Solkaris, shared-mime-info handles that === seb128 [~seb128@ANancy-151-1-7-49.w83-194.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu === |trey| thinks kalyxo packages not in universe should be added :) [10:46] might try looking into that [10:46] <|trey|> Solkaris: I don't know that much about GNOME internals, and the people that do appear to be busy... [10:46] ok gui access or cli [10:47] |trey| thanks for trying to help =) === |trey| knew about shared-mime-type, but thought that had nothing to do with UI, only the mechanism itself :/ [10:48] joem any idea where said beasty lairs? [10:48] <|trey|> Its just a shared format specification from freedesktop.org... [10:48] http://freedesktop.org/Software/shared-mime-info [10:48] package contains the core database of common types [10:49] <|trey|> which kinda means it can't specify icons I had presumed... because everyone does that different :/ [10:49] he was asking what set the mime type no? [10:49] joem yes [10:49] <|trey|> joem: what set the icons for the mime type specified. [10:50] joem where would I find the mime type info that can be changed [10:50] the icon theme sets the icon based on the mime type, which is set by that [10:50] <|trey|> Solkaris: dpkg -L shared-mime-info [10:50] Solkaris, dunno, I am already out of my knowledge base on this [10:51] already have installed .. the problem is file type (in this case ogg files) are not registered correctly which means it breaks icons [10:52] thanks anyway joem .. gave me another place to look [10:52] <|trey|> Solkaris: /usr/share/doc/shared-mime-info [10:52] <|trey|> Solkaris: ugh, -L is list files installed by. [10:52] if it isn't being registered, I think thats a shared-mime-info issue [10:52] registered correctly anyways === MacPlusG3 [~stewart@c211-28-166-127.eburwd2.vic.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu [10:53] <|trey|> joem: he wants to configure the mime info... front ends only exist for 4 of them. [10:54] <|trey|> joem: apparently the files are opened by the correct application... just wants a different icon for all the files of that type... [10:55] icons should be in /usr/share/icons/themename/size/mimetypes [10:55] are you using a theme that just doesn't have an icon for ogg? [10:56] no files there [10:56] icon exists [10:56] but its not displaying === rams [~rams@61.16.175.2] has joined #ubuntu [10:57] reason seems to be from what I can see now is that ogg audio isnt registered as audio in mime type [10:57] <|trey|> joem: /usr/share/icons/Human/scalable// are all quite nice :) [10:57] and its not using same name .. checking attempted fix [10:57] is it a standard theme from one of the theme packages? [10:58] art.gnome.org package .. but Ive been having this problem with a bunch of themes [10:58] <|trey|> Solkaris: apt-cache search vorbis [10:58] usually same program [10:58] <|trey|> Solkaris: apt-cache search vorbis codec === doko [doko@dsl-084-057-045-178.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:59] <|trey|> dpkg -l libvorbis0a [11:00] <|trey|> apt-cache show libvorbis0a [11:00] why am I supposed to be doing that? [11:01] <|trey|> Solkaris: making sure its installed... then showing you what it is... [11:01] |trey|: that should be installed if you have ~tubuntu-desktop [11:01] I know its installed [11:01] <|trey|> Treenaks: 'ubuntu-desktop' [11:01] theantix: task.. [11:01] they files work that isnt the problem .. and can set the default program [11:01] |trey|: uh that was for you [11:01] |trey|: stupid "|" in front of your name 8) [11:01] I just cant edit what the mime types are [11:02] <|trey|> Treenaks: just type it once + tab :) [11:02] Solkaris: you shouldn't edit the mime types, you should edit the theme [11:02] <|trey|> Treenaks: and he would have read that :) [11:03] Treenaks and where would I do that .. I look in the icon theme and find nothing there to edit that will effect how a MIME type is registered === |trey| doesn't have such luck with synaptic, easier still from CLI :/ [11:03] Solkaris: It doesn't matter how the mime type is registered, the theme defines an icon for a mime-type. Replace that icon, et voila! [11:04] Treenaks icon theme has icons for that file type .. but the file type while being a audio file is not and will not register in MIME shared info as a freaking audio file [11:04] Treenaks the problem is the MIME type is incorrect [11:05] its registering a audio file as an application [11:05] <|trey|> Solkaris: /usr/share/doc is your friend. [11:05] Solkaris: Solkaris I doubt that... [11:05] <|trey|> /usr/share/doc/ [11:06] brb [11:07] what's his problem? he thinks he knows the answer but he doesn't want to listen to us?? [11:07] <|trey|> He is lazy in a bad way... he doesn't want to do the learning part :/ [11:07] Is it possible to rename a pluggable usb storage device icon, and have that name new permanently stored ? [11:08] Instead of having the name "sda1", that is [11:08] jacob, yes [11:08] http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php [11:08] <|trey|> jacob: you can change the /sys/device/name of it, so it would make sense that you can do more... === Solkaris [~niko@c-24-21-32-92.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:09] got it [11:09] <|trey|> Solkaris: :) [11:09] joem: doesn't it shows the VFAT label, if it has one [11:09] |trey|, ew..udev is the way [11:09] joem, |trey|, ok but is it sufficient to change to Gnome desktop icon? [11:09] <|trey|> joem: sysfs is part of the udev specification :/ [11:09] had to copy /usr/share/mime/application/ogg.xml to /usr/share/mime/audio/x-ogg.xml and everything works like it should [11:10] ok, read wrong [11:10] <|trey|> Solkaris: good job :) [11:10] Solkaris: ok, something is tagging .ogg files wrongly then... [11:10] Treenaks that would be Sound Juicer that I was using [11:10] jacob, ? what does the desktop icon have to do with the device name [11:11] <|trey|> Treenaks: x-ogg.xml should be symlinked to ogg.xml [11:11] joem, nothing I guess. just wondering if Gnome could handle the renaming for me [11:11] |trey|: x-ogg should be phased out [11:11] no, you want to create a udev rule [11:11] just want to thank |trey|, joem and Treenaks for the assists [11:12] jacob, that way, when you plug it in, it will always have the same name(/dev/my_usbdrive) or something [11:12] <|trey|> Treenaks: I would say /audio/x-ogg.xml would be more logical.. [11:12] <|trey|> Solkaris: yw :) [11:12] |trey|: no, what about ogg theora :) [11:12] joem, ok, thanks for the info [11:12] |trey|: those are .ogg files as well [11:13] <|trey|> Treenaks: imma shut up ;) [11:13] aye thats what throws that out of wack .. but I dont have a single theora file yet so not a issue at this point [11:13] again thanks all and have a good night [11:14] <|trey|> maybe media/ogg.xml? should be more obvious then "applications" [11:14] |trey|: read the MIME RFCs :) [11:15] btw, I'm having problems remounting a USB-storage device, ater I've mounted/unmounted it once. I do the unmounting cleanly I think.

[04:58] version numbers have to increase [04:58] so 1.0PR1 has to be called 0.99+1.0PR1 to be < 1.0 when 1.0 is released [04:59] Ah okay [04:59] and because there were so many bugs in that, and 1.0 wasn't going to be released in time for warty, we reverted back to 0.9.3-0ubuntu2 in the archive [04:59] And what about the revertedto part? [04:59] Ah okay [04:59] but that version number still has to be higher, so we add the +revertedto bit and the old version [04:59] Thanks [04:59] Hm-mm, makes sense then === tck [~tck@206-15-133-116.dialup.ziplink.net] has joined #ubuntu [04:59] dpkg can actually do the first bit if we'd named it 1.0~PR1, but then you couldn't upgrade from woody to warty [05:00] wouldn't it have been easier to delete it?

[06:07] arauko: Most users don't need a compiler. [06:08] we could say it is a more developer oriented tool right? [06:08] arauko: There's been plenty of discussion of this on the list :) [06:08] arauko: i believe it is because as spiv says, most users don't need the compiler [06:09] Gotta love dc_gui2 [06:09] I see, since you have apt-get thats true. [06:09] yeah [06:09] although i also think that they should be there by default, i understand why they don't have them there as a default [06:12] Are there any nice firefox themes to blend in with the default ubuntu human theme?

I read a short article here: http://www.stanford.edu/~fenn/linux/radeon.shtml on someone who did it successfully with Fedora, but he mentions "DCC monitor" and my searches on google have only yeilded results about model trains and IRC file transfers. Could anyone explain DCC and whether or not it has an relavence to what I am tr [06:22] ying to do? [06:23] I don't think it does, it works fine for me.. [06:24] are you using the debian packages? [06:24] I didn't see any debian packages on ATI's website. I was planning to get the rpms and convert them with alien. [06:24] JakeandBake: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto [06:25] JakeandBake: the driver is included with ubuntu [06:25] JakeandBake, if i'm not much mistaken dcc in that respect would probably be the technical name for "plug and play monitor" dont know much about it though.

[06:27] A debian/stable perl is "usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=undef usemultiplicity=undef", so it's not so surprising that Ubuntu would do the same. [06:27] usethreads=define use5005threads=undef useithreads=define usemultiplicity=define [06:27] Oh. That is interesting. What's not working? [06:27] thanks goatboy, i think this might be exactly what i'm looking for [06:29] I ported an multi-thread application and it behaved stragely, so I wrote a small test app and it shows only one thread in ps, whereas it normally shosw many threads [06:30] What happens when you run: [06:30] % perl -Mthreads -le 'my $thread = threads->create(sub { print "hello!" }); $thread->join;' [06:30] lIoNhEaRt: that's because we're using NPTL which gives you real POSIX threads, unlike old linuxthreads.

[06:49] the default image for new installs is the one with the ubuntu logo [06:49] cardador: it should load the updated theme automatically [06:49] which reminds me, the netboot image still carries a Debian logo [06:49] unfortunately we had set the preview to the calendar image, so everyone with the calendar image gets a surprise when they update today === warty [~warty@CPE-203-45-169-198.qld.bigpond.net.au] has joined #ubuntu [06:49] jdub: it didnt [06:49] sabdfl: they do? we tried to avoid that [06:50] libgnome needs an update [06:50] in my tests, I got the default background, not the calendar [06:50] on upgrade [06:50] sabdfl: depends; if they never opened the "Change Desktop Background" dialog then they'll get the new default background [06:50] or u-a, if we want the -ubuntu image to be the calendar image [06:50] ok [06:50] if they open the background dialog, they'll get the calendar image [06:50] ok [06:50] thanks keybuk [06:50] they opened, even [06:50] Keybuk: oh yeah, that's a dumb bug [06:51] jdub: yeah, the dialog spams settings into gconf even if you change nothing *sigh* [06:51] georgia: if it involves images of people, it's the new artwork [06:51] jdub: "the"? several others seem to work that way as well [06:51] mdz: the which who what?

[09:21] topyli: close implementation wise only, or do you share work? [09:21] bluefoxicy: no. lindows is debian based but don't give back to debian. so do others [09:21] im serious why did ubuntu change their nice simple splash screen to that?

[09:26] topyli: SOme of these systems do not have a visible impact; they do not cause extraneous administrative tasks to be imposed, or cause users' experience to be altered in any way in normal situations. [09:27] someone needs to be kicked in the head for this [09:27] what is the package name for this theme that everybody is talking about ?

[09:28] LinuxJones: ubuntu-artwork [09:28] mdz_, thanks :G [09:28] sabdfl - where would i find the alsamixer? [09:28] topyli: PaX and SSP are two such systems which I and several others are after getting implemented in Debian mainline. My goal is to have these systems (and anything else like them) *everywhere*, so that many if not most security issues will be mitigated before they even exist. [09:28] topyli: That's the plan. [09:28] whats bad is that ubuntu doesnt have a gui tool to change the splash screen [09:28] sabdfl - they are 3 different models of Dell machines also [09:28] bluefoxicy: you see, i'm a user. i USE computers :) [09:29] compoundctc: i'm trying to think of the simplest way to debug this [09:29] topyli: The idea is that certain exploits become crashes/DoS instead of intrusion. For example, the recent libpng exploits were based on buffer overflows. at least one of these, as CERT said, would be useful in injecting code directly into a machine. [09:29] try opening a shell [09:29] ok [09:29] type alsamixer [09:29] shell open [09:29] bluefoxicy: sounds pretty secure to me [09:29] topyli: This would allow a malicious website to embed worms into image files.

[09:30] bluefoxicy: i mean your systems sound secure. all the other stuff doesn't :) [09:30] Normally this is done by injecting code and overwriting the return value on the stack, causing the function which owns the vulnerable buffer to return to that code at its end. [09:30] SSP still breaks a lot of stuff [09:30] yes correct sound card listed [09:30] topyli: make it work, give it to me! [09:30] beezly: SSP can be disabled for what it breaks. :) === sven_ [~sven@IP-213157024151.dialin.heagmedianet.de] has joined #ubuntu [09:30] s/topyli/bluefoxicy [09:30] use the arrow keys to set levels - are they currently set at around 70%? [09:31] these sliders are down - yet the main voloume slider on the top right of desktop is up? [09:31] SSP will check a value between the buffer and the return value and abort if tihs value is wrong. [09:31] PaX, on the other hand, will simply not allow a situation where memory protections can be manipulated in any way as to allow a piece of code to be written, then executed. [09:32] anyone here try to migrate from debian testing to ubuntu? [09:32] In either case, the program is terminated just before the exploit begins, i.e. the exploit never happens. ;) [09:32] oh geeze can I ever stop talking *drones on and on* [09:32] good. but dude, you're lecturing :) [09:32] yes, yes i am, I do that too much. [09:32] i understand both technologies [09:32] compoundctc: you need the master and pcm ones up usually [09:32] I should be writing on the wiki or something :) [09:32] beezly: :) === khronic [~dennis@adsl-63-195-133-34.dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net] has joined #ubuntu [09:32] NX implements PAX on amd64 [09:33] beezly: nope.

[09:33] compoundctc: another way is to right click on the volume control on the top right of the desktop panel [09:33] and say "open volume control" [09:33] PaX implements an emulated NX bit on x86. On amd64, it uses the hardware NX bit. On either, it controls memory protections differently than vanilla linux.

[09:58] it's fun [09:59] burner, you got a link to that background? === burner wonders if there's an ubuntu gdm login with graphical username picking [09:59] socomm, nope... it just came when i dist-upgraded :) [09:59] burner: nope, not an official one [10:00] burner: I'll probably make one once the artwork is finalized [10:00] aww theantix, you ruined it for me ;) now i don't have to check. oh well... if i was an artist I'd attempt, but all the gdm themes are awesome... hate to taint it with my stuff [10:00] burner, thanks. [10:00] looks more like somebody walked in on the beginning of a 3some with camera ready [10:01] oh, the half naked folks are artistic and fun [10:01] they are having fun but i dunno know if they're exactly thinking art [10:01] i just find it kind of odd to have those gdm/splash/wallpaper forced on me [10:01] They don't work very well in a work environment [10:02] indeed.

[10:03] was that the only black girl available? she's not even that hot. sorry to make such a deal out of it but it was a rude awakening after i rebooted [10:03] clee: i fixed my its/it's i think that was mark :) === rapha [~rapha@Af98c.a.pppool.de] has joined #ubuntu [10:04] Hi [10:04] sepheebear: she's not terrible either [10:04] mako: damn mark.

[10:04] mako: so the real question is, where are my pressed CDs? [10:04] I've a little problem with Ubuntu's Network Settings tool (network-admin). If I right see, WEP keys are 26 characters (HEX) in length. But the network-admin tool only permits 24 characters to be typed in. Is this intended? === seb128 [~seb128@ANancy-151-1-6-116.w83-194.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu === clee is still waiting for them to show up at the redhat office [10:05] everybody talking about new ubuntu's artwork [10:05] clee: we will press after release [10:05] :) [10:05] clee: so next week [10:05] mako: mmm. sweet. [10:05] clee: i can put you on the high priority list [10:05] mako: You rock. [10:05] clee: otherwise, it migth take a while [10:06] anyone know if there's a hotkey to 'force-quit' ? [10:07] i just couldnt seriously expect to see people logging into that GDM theme. the upside down naked white dude gives me the creeps [10:07] aww.. homophobic? [10:07] it's ok ;) [10:07] i hate the splash screen [10:07] so are the cds going to have naked people on them too? :-) [10:07] at least it feels polished === sabdfl [~mark@host217-37-231-28.in-addr.btopenworld.com] has joined #ubuntu [10:08] rapha: I can't confirm your bug [10:08] Yeah, sex sells :) [10:08] I wonder what the guy in the splash screen is laughing at [10:08] he's like all giggly. [10:08] nah weird upside down naked people generally give me the willies [10:08] no matter what their preference [10:08] well, like the new splash screen or not, this will make Ubuntu the topic of conversation on the net again :-) [10:08] well, sure, he's got two ladies. ;-) [10:09] theantix: I didn't say it was a bug. Could you just tell me if it is right that WEP keys are 26 characters in length? (This occurs on my girlfriends notebook, and she has just done a full apt-get upgrade on Sunday). [10:09] rapha, mine is 26 characters, yes [10:10] The old gdm login screen looked much better on my widescreen laptop, for what it's worth. The semi-naked people are kind of squished. [10:10] And where's this artwork everybody seems to be talking about? [10:10] alright, I've added the wiki entry.

[10:41] Except for the decision to go with GNOME anyway ;) [10:41] I think the white guy is Mark himself [10:41] Bohhh: this works [10:41] clee, why should i choose ubuntu? === SmokingFire [~FireFly@ashanti.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu === hypatia [~mary@179.Red-83-39-41.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:41] no gnome!! [10:41] plese [10:41] please [10:41] i hate gnome [10:41] Bohhh: well, it comes with GNOME. [10:41] Bohhh: If you don't like it, you can install other stuff. [10:41] damn [10:41] Bohhh: you lose then :) [10:41] hell [10:42] Bohhh, well, if you go Ubuntu, you'll need to learn to like it :) [10:42] i'm already retheming it here [10:42] to keep the users at bay [10:42] Hi, there I have a problem with a partition that its corrupted. If you are part of the mailinglist you might have read about it. === Nonphasis is starting to dig Gnome === clee notes that GNOME is nowhere near as unusable today as it used to be [10:42] Does s.b. know how to use LIRC in ubuntu? [10:42] why gnome when kde is superior? [10:42] And, coming from a KDE developer, I think that's a pretty bold statement [10:42] these days.. [10:42] @Bohhh i think its faster [10:42] that's all? [10:42] Baumi: Well, you're wrong, but that's ok. ;) [10:43] really? [10:43] i would get a faster cpu for a faster desktop instead [10:43] clee, indeed :). Any idea when ubuntuized KDE is going to happen? [10:43] have you seen this application? Its sexy"http://gparted.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php much better the qtparted from the looks. [10:43] Baumi: The KDE devs have been very diligent about speed issues. [10:43] Nonphasis: you can install kde from universe if you like. === Solkaris [~niko@c-24-21-32-92.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:43] Baumi: If you wanted to (I've done it) you can install KDE 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 alongside eachother and compare the relative speeds of each version - it's been getting consistently faster since 3.0 [10:43] Why can't the kde people just download Suse or Knoppix? [10:43] greetings and salutations [10:43] topyli, I tried, it looked like crap [10:44] Baumi: And we fit better in lowmem situations (where "lowmem" is < 256M of RAM) [10:44] Nonphasis: i guess it looks like vanilla kde, like in debian [10:44] however, I have to admit that I really dig nautilus === ChrisW [~chrisw@81.5.181.26] has left #ubuntu [] [10:44] SmokingFire, it happens that suse is not always free [10:44] SmokingFire because that would mean there was a non KDE distro out there somewhere *gasp* horrors [10:44] topyli, Debian KDE looked much better I think - though the memory might just be merciful === npmccallum [~npmccallu@69-162-252-7.ironoh.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:45] knoppix is good , but its nature is a live distro [10:45] even if installed [10:45] Bohhh there are tons of KDE based distro's .. more than Gnome based by far === Netminder [~mcroydon@pcp05133460pcs.elkrdg01.md.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:45] Nonphasis: if kde looks like crap, i can't help it. i don't care too much really :) [10:45] try Kanotix [10:45] topyli, fair enough [10:46] Yes but the unix motto is do one thing good and only that. [10:46] Solkaris, i would like too see a solid debian-based distro + kde with updatings every 3-4 months [10:46] get a kde supporting distro, there are plenty [10:46] whole reason I jumped to Ubuntu .. Gnome based Distro with APT [10:46] Concentrate on gnome, people want kde then apt-get get it. [10:47] Solkaris: the LATEST gnome of course [10:47] ok. so the question is : what are _solid_ debian/kde-based distros? [10:47] Lindows!! [10:47] rofl [10:47] is it free? [10:47] the live cd is [10:47] topyli LOL ok yes the newest gnome ... reality is if they had said 2.6 I would still have used it [10:47] they don't exist [10:47] that's all === hazmat [~hazmat@c-24-15-10-12.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:47] Solkaris: agreed, Gnome and Apt. [10:47] damn [10:47] xandros? [10:47] but also non free [10:48] yea, there no much choice [10:48] Mepis. [10:48] (which I haven't tried.) [10:48] Solkaris: yes. the truth is, i use gnome. i don't care what's under it as long as it's debian :) [10:48] clee, who ever heard of it? :) [10:48] Mepis is pretty nice [10:48] from what I hear, Mepis is a damned good KDE distro [10:48] pretty easy install from liveCD to HD [10:49] and they're also debian-based [10:49] punkass_, i found a problem with your pyfi app [10:49] I'm testing Ubuntu right now for fun, Nift default GNOME settings and a good package management system [10:49] is libranet still alive? they're a kde-debian [10:49] oh yeah? [10:49] Anyone installed NVU on Ubuntu? [10:49] And there's also Lycoris. [10:50] Ran Gentoo before, Debian before that (and at the same time to). [10:50] but they kinda suck, last I checked. [10:50] topyli yep yep .. this distro is like someone reached in my head an made the dreams real .. ahhh [10:50] Telep: yes, it works fine [10:50] i am just looking into creating a python wrapper for iwlib [10:50] hey, i've got a new homepage! Ubuntu's pretty willy nilly about changing settings on ya [10:50] defendguin: what is it? [10:50] topyli: where can I find a .deb-package for that? I couldn't see it in universe [10:50] yeah you need to haev some way of telling the user is he is unable to connect [10:51] have* [10:51] if he is [10:51] Telep: no, i just extracted the package in /opt and it's good to go [10:51] right [10:51] Rumor has it that Hoary Hedgehog will feature mr. Goatse in the theme [10:51] the gui just stopped responding when i tried to use it to access my schools network [10:51] The best part of apt on debian based distros (havnt realy used the rpm based ones for to long, so dunno if apt works the same on those) is the removal of packages. [10:51] ah yes...i had left out a bunch of notification stuff...well not left out...just didnt get to it yet [10:51] I suspect that it wasn't true, though [10:52] removing redundant stuff that depended on the package you remove. === RUNE [~NO@151.80.11.66] has joined #ubuntu [10:52] which is probably using some mac address identification to exclude my computer [10:52] defendguin: yes i also i have to learn how to seperate the I/O from the GUI [10:52] Keybuk: how many are you in? [10:52] the lack of that was the absolutly largest downside of portage [10:52] hi [10:52] howdy RUNE === port7 [~bob@dsl-212-23-23-232.zen.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu [10:52] ill have to figure out how to spoof the mac addy of one of their boxes [10:53] defendguin: but if i can get this wrapper working...should make the app work a little nicer too..without relying on the stdout and stderr [10:54] defendguin: why do they lock you out at school? isnt that why they have a wifi network?

Just one thing nags me: my all time favourite broser (Galeon) is not available through the universe and trying to get it from debian breaks tons of gnome packages.

I'll do that. Thanks [11:15] SmokingFire: thanks for showin me the synaptic update..=) [11:15] SmokingFire: .disk/info calls it Unofficial i386 Binary-1 (20040915). [11:15] vorlon: the RC just went out today :) [11:16] vorlon: just asking because the normal build didn't give such errors. So I'm guess that the daily build is broken or went you burned/downloaded the cd something went wrong. [11:16] hah [11:16] chz: My pleasure [11:16] the office is in arms about the 'naked people [11:16] '' [11:16] and the smiles [11:16] etc. [11:16] Can someone remind me what the method for burning a disk.img to CD is, when the image is meant to be written to a floppy instead? === rlem1 [~knoppix@68.120.184.107] has joined #ubuntu [11:16] and 'the porn distro' [11:17] azeem: well, this seems like the sort of bug I should be able to find a fix for without having to download another ISO. :) [11:17] vorlon: What if you do a full smart upgrade in synaptic and also fix the broken packages? [11:17] (I'd normally `dd if=disk.img of=/dev/fd0`, but the floppy drive's broken.) [11:17] not as if you get to see any real nudity [11:17] SmokingFire: um, synaptic isn't available from the installer..? :) [11:17] vorlon: this is during 1st stage? [11:17] azeem: yeah. I mean, sure, I can hack the debootstrap script, but that seems wrong somehow. ;) [11:17] I think your copy is then perhaps bad [11:18] Kosai, you can rename the .img to .iso and burn it to cdrom. [11:18] Kosai mkisofs -b? [11:18] k3b does an automatic md5um when it finds it in the root of the iso [11:18] vorlon: which arch? I don't remember issues as bad as these for the preview [11:18] Kosai: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/floppy_image_on_cd.htm should be helpful [11:18] azeem: i386. === empop [~empop@dhcp065-024-094-061.columbus.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu [11:18] hmm === guptan [~guptan@we11189.emirates.net.ae] has joined #ubuntu [11:18] vorlon: do you still have the original iso on your hd? [11:19] vorlon: a bad daily iso then, perhaps [11:19] azeem: and they labelled it "20040915"? [11:19] is there any relation with Gnoppix Live CD & Ubuntu Linux? [11:19] any chance of getting firefox 1.0RC soon? [11:19] Do an md5sum on the iso, I don't know if its possible todo md5ums on cd's [11:19] guptan: gnoppix used the ubuntu GNOME packages [11:19] SmokingFire: yes, checking the md5sum now. [11:19] vorlon: not sure, this rather looks like a daily ISO to me [11:20] azeem: to me too. [11:20] azeem: what about ubuntu live cd? is it same gnoppix or the other way? [11:20] vorlon: anyway, you could rsync the RC from the .iso probably [11:20] SmokingFire: of course, the link I downloaded it from isn't there anymore. :) [11:20] guptan: they are not the same [11:20] azeem: rsync url? [11:20] vorlon: sorry, I'm just lurking in here :) [11:20] damn yeah, daily build === tritium [rimbert@ee213-dhcp-3.ecn.purdue.edu] has joined #ubuntu [11:21] azeem: so I better not ask questions about gnoppix here rt? [11:22] is there a problem with the ubuntu release candidate? i get an error about bsdutils [11:22] guptan: amu is the main gnoppix guy, so you sure can ask questions :) [11:22] vorlon: look here [11:22] guptan: but so far, gnoppix and ubuntu don't use the same LiveCD-technology, they just share some packages === vorlon looks at the emptiness next to SmokingFire's comment. [11:23] oh I just saw amu here, thanks for reminding that azeem === guptan waves @ amu [11:24] ooh sorry [11:24] vorlon: http://cdimage.ubuntulinux.org/releases/warty/preview/MD5SUMS [11:24] vorlon: http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/cdimage/daily/ === rapha [~rapha@Af98c.a.pppool.de] has joined #ubuntu [11:25] anyone here install the release candidate? [11:25] vorlon: 20040915 is sooo last month :) [11:25] theantix: Okay, we've had another phone session. Can I talk to you about network-admin? [11:25] yeah I don't see in there either [11:25] only one that comes close to yours is /cdimage/daily/20041009.1 [11:25] amu: in gnoppix I tried to start "networking"/"network-admin" but it quits without even showing up the nic. any idea whats wrong in my case? [11:25] that's October 9th though, probably [11:26] im guessing that's a no [11:26] rapha: go ahead, I'll do my best [11:27] azeem: looks like its only october that they have. [11:27] vorlon: oh, another thing I heard were problems with burning and DMA, which might result in strange errors [11:27] bsdutils_2.12-7ubuntu6_i386.deb <-- bad on the RC iso? [11:27] bsdutils_2.12-7ubuntu6_i386.deb <-- bad on the RC iso? [11:27] WX: oh? [11:27] theantix: Okay, first off, we found a number of usability problems (my gf is totally computer-illiterate, so she's a good test subject). Are you interested in those? [11:27] Sorry vorlon you will need to download again [11:27] hrmm trying to play freecol, and I get: No JVM found to run FreeCol. Please install a JVM (>= 1.4) to run FreeCol or set JAVA_HOME if it's not a JVM from a Debian Package. [11:27] i am just checking if anyone else had same problem [11:27] WX: vorlon had [11:28] what should I do? [11:28] vorlon: do you have k3b installed? [11:28] hmm [11:28] what's the fix? [11:28] i've burned 2 cds now [11:28] Oh and by the way, to whom it concerns: gedit shouldn't have an empty "Tools" menu by default; novice users are confused and think it is broken. [11:28] both same problem [11:28] does ubuntu support bootsplash? [11:28] (I'd suggest enabling some sensible plugins, like document stats) [11:28] guptan: no === aPoX [apox@packets.ca] has joined #Ubuntu [11:28] rapha: please file bugs in bugzilla, not on IRC. :) [11:28] rapha, you could post usability problems to the mailing list, or perhaps file a bug report (I'm just a user) [11:28] guptan: we'll have a fully user-space graphical boot process in Hoary [11:29] jdub: do I need to do a kernel patch to splash [11:29] azeem, do you know a fix? [11:29] guptan: for our new one in Hoary, no [11:29] anybody? [11:29] jdub: I was trying to follow this page: http://debblue.debian.net/faq.php#faq2 [11:29] guptan: if you wanted to *add* bootsplash to current Ubuntu, yes. [11:29] guptan: but it's really not worth it. [11:30] WX: no [11:30] so im assuming it's a bad iso? === chz [~chz@129.115.38.141] has left #ubuntu [] === rlem1 [~knoppix@68.120.184.107] has left #ubuntu [] [11:30] jdub: you mean that bootsplash theme or doing kernel patches? [11:31] theantix: Oh. I thought you were responsible for network-admin :) (You sounded like you were, earlier) [11:31] WX: I happen to have just had the same problem with the preview candidate; seems to be a case of a bad burn here. [11:31] Sorry then === rapha will go to bugzilla [11:31] WX: did you check your md5sums of the ISO image and of the CD against the website? [11:31] rapha: just trying to be helpful, that's all :-) [11:32] jdub: when is Hoary release date set for? 2005? [11:32] going to check cd [11:32] how do i check cd? [11:33] guptan: march preview, april final, yeah [11:33] theantix: Well, we don't get her WIFI going with network-admin, and I'm pretty sure it's not entirely our/the computers fault. [11:33] jdub: current version of ubuntu is PR right? so when is its actual release? [11:33] guptan: there's a release schedule on the wiki [11:34] guptan: we just shipped the release candidate [11:34] guptan: wartywarthog final is due on the 20th [11:35] swim: You'll have to install Java, then. See this in the FAQ: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/helpcenterfaq.2004-09-16.3469703387 [11:35] jdub: thanks for that info. [11:35] i think the man in the wallpaper is looking at the right woman's boobs... [11:36] jdub: I think ubuntu gonna spend a long time with me :) [11:36] WX: cat /dev/cdrom | md5sum may or may not work; the more certain way involves dd and calculating the exact size of the image that was written to disk. === socomm [~jde@adsl-69-105-171-184.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:38] not sure but if the iso has an md5um in its root, then k3b will automagically parse the md5um. [11:38] IF ubuntu doesn't have an md5um in its root [11:38] wait let me check === topyli [~juha@dsl-hkigw3b99.dial.inet.fi] has left #ubuntu [] [11:39] yup be ubuntu cd has an file called md5sum.txt in its root. [11:40] vorlon: you could also check on your cd for it === Merlin_ [~chris@c68.119.26.144.stc.mn.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu [11:40] hrmm trying to play freecol, and I get: No JVM found to run FreeCol. Please install a JVM (>= 1.4) to run FreeCol or set JAVA_HOME if it's not a JVM from a Debian Package. what should I do? [11:41] did you install a jre? [11:41] aitrus, no, does ubuntu not do that by default? [11:41] swim: you can get binary to install JVM/JRE from sun's site [11:42] SmokingFire: that file contains md5sums of all files on the disk; not particularly interesting. Anyway, I have my problem fixed already. [11:42] swim: no. most distro's don't. just grab it from sun's site [11:42] solkaris, I'm good [11:42] got this link about java from here or something: http://frassle.rura.org/Directory/index?feed=806 (link is very slow) [11:42] thanks [11:42] guptan: which kind of networkcard you're using ? [11:42] guptan, aitrus ok, but doesnt ubuntu have it in its package repositories? [11:43] hdpram [11:43] what is this erotic art everyone talks about? [11:44] SmokingFire: http://www.osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=8551#291096 has some links to screenshots [11:44] SmokingFire: just download a iso and you'll see *eg* === messenjer [~mla@83-134-2-124.Paille.GoPlus.FastDSL.tiscali.be] has joined #ubuntu [11:44] hrmm trying to set I/0 to 32 bit, on a laptop what would my device be for the harddrive? [11:44] the new theme got me scared :( [11:44] amu: its an intel pro 100. ubuntu is working fine with it [11:45] grats Merlin_ [11:45] swim: master HD on primary IDE is always /dev/hda. [11:45] swim, /dev/hda ? [11:45] thanks [11:45] guptan: the module is loaded ? [11:45] swim: No, Java is under restrictive licencing terms, and so Ubuntu can't include it. Here's a very good guide for making your own packages though: http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/DEV/Java+on+Debian [11:46] oh thanks ggi [11:46] well ok the pics are not to arty, looks more from clothing magazine. === RUNE [~NO@151.80.11.66] has joined #ubuntu [11:47] SmokingFire: Well, sans clothes. [11:47] well you only see a lot of skin [11:47] amu: not sure, can u help me to load the module. when I tried sudo network-admin a window came up, but it went off without doing anything === Wsquared [~wweckesse@67-138-146-101.dsl1.nor.ny.frontiernet.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:48] but anyway I don't mind if they removed it. Not my style anyway. === Wsquared is now known as WW_ [11:48] guys, what shud I install to enable browsing of windows shares from ubuntu. I can see them on nautilus but some problem in accessing windows shares [11:48] i've smbclient installed already* [11:49] btw: what is this background called monthly calender? It seems the same as default. [11:49] guptan: it should just work [11:49] guptan: first step, check if the driver-module is loaded, lsmod, if not, modprobe e100 [11:50] amu: let me check [11:50] hrrm it seems on the sun site there is only i586 jre s that wont do for running on x86_64 will it? [11:50] guptan: if you want something noncrypted like a commandline, run modconf ;) [11:51] later all [11:51] swim: yeah it will === vorlon [vorlon@dsl093-039-086.pdx1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has left #ubuntu [] [11:51] ok thanks [11:52] swim: I see AMD64 binaries on the Sun site. What kind of chip do you have? [11:53] ggi athlon 64 [11:54] swim: Well, you'll be wanting the AMD64 ones then. They're at the bottom of the list, if you missed them. [11:55] anyone using gdesklets? [11:55] ggi could you paste the url [11:55] jdub: ping [11:56] pong [11:56] jdub: just to confirm the libldap2 package contains the evo patch right? [11:57] does anyone know how to set up the lpt port in ubuntu [11:57] sri: yeah [11:57] jdub: just making sure thats what youre changelog.Debian.Z file was saying..okay cool. [11:57] swim: Was it the JRE or JRE/JDK you were downloading? [11:57] ggi I guess jre :) === sri will talk with evo about exchange stuff broken for him then..
