| SmokingFire | do you have an IT teacher at your school? I had at mine and he was also at the same time the networks guy. | 12:57 |

| thursday | im sure theres more than one it teacher its just a matter of finding one with sufficient influence | 12:58 |
| xskoulax | thursday: i can't see why they would have problems with using rtf, people using word can still open it so its not like it affects other users | 12:58 |
| SmokingFire | thursday: basically write a letter to your principal and vice people and tell them you are just a poor student and bla bla and also do that vocally. | 12:59 |
| thursday | yes but im sure that when they have standardized on a document format, it could prove difficult to convince them to switch to an alternative format | 12:59 |
| thursday | i got to university of phoenix... it's not your ordinary little school | 01:00 |
| SmokingFire | well just they just need to tell the teachers to save their lessons in rtf format. | 01:00 |
| thursday | the teachers don't publish the lessons | 01:00 |
| thursday | they have some board that aproves and publishes them i belive | 01:00 |
| xskoulax | thursday: the following link might be useful for your work should you decide to use OO.o, http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=8225 | 01:00 |
| thursday | xskoulax, thank you | 01:01 |
| SmokingFire | well, if they have an IT guy he could write a little vba script to convert all doc's into rtf. | 01:01 |
| SmokingFire | they should that anyway. | 01:01 |
| SmokingFire | perhaps a script that converts doc's to rtf and pdf. | 01:01 |
| thursday | i agree with you... i'm going to look into it | 01:02 |
| thursday | it would be cool to have the material in a format other than word | 01:02 |

| aitrus | now you've gone and done it | 02:53 |
| tolstoy | I wish packages in universe would actually be there! | 02:53 |
| tolstoy | sbcl from debian requires a version of common-lisp-controller > ubuntu's version. | 02:54 |
| tolstoy | with rpm, you could at least rpmbuild -ta tarfile.tgz and have something you can install. | 02:56 |
| aitrus | tolstoy: you can use checkinstall | 02:57 |
| aitrus | get the source you need... unpackage it... configure ; make ; sudo checkinstall -D | 02:58 |
| aitrus | it creates a deb package for you and installs it | 02:58 |
| aitrus | or | 02:59 |
| aitrus | you can get the rpm | 02:59 |
| aitrus | and use alien to install it | 02:59 |
| JanneM | would be nice with a wiki page with "debian for virgins" type info | 02:59 |
| aitrus | i'd like a "Debian for RedHat users" page | 03:00 |
| JanneM | since many of us know linux pretty well, but hav enever used a debian-based system before | 03:00 |
| tolstoy | aitrus, what about the stuff in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/sbcl/. Can I use that to make a deb? | 03:00 |
| tolstoy | JanneM, I hear you. I'm mainly interested in getting a dependency that didn't seem to get built in the universe repo. | 03:00 |
| tolstoy | JanneM, not sure I really want to package stuff --- yet. | 03:01 |
| aitrus | tolstoy: looks like it... | 03:01 |
| aitrus | tolstoy: it looks like you can download that stuff, apply the patch, and go from tehre | 03:01 |
| JanneM | tolstoy: I've sort of been looking at packaging a bat as well - no idea where to start, thoug | 03:01 |
| aitrus | tolstoy: however, i'm a debian n00b and dont' know how to create .debs other than using checkinstall | 03:01 |
| tolstoy | aitrus, is that .dsc file the deb control file? | 03:01 |
| aitrus | tolstoy: don't know | 03:01 |
| JanneM | since there's a missing packagein Universe, and I would really like to tweak another one a bit before install | 03:02 |
| tolstoy | Alas, I don't even know how to apply the patch. | 03:02 |
| aitrus | untar the source and patch | 03:03 |
| aitrus | cd source | 03:03 |
| aitrus | patch -p1 < ../patch | 03:03 |
| aitrus | or maybe -p0 | 03:03 |

| tolstoy | hm. that's not the one I saw, i'll have to read it. | 03:04 |
| aitrus | i think you need to setup a fake root kinda like /usr/src/rpm for rpms | 03:04 |
| tolstoy | yeap. | 03:04 |

| aitrus | there is supposed to be a really cool gnome cd-burning library in development... but it's taking forever | 03:39 |
| tolstoy | so, when they put together a "universe" or a repo, how to they compile all the debs? | 03:39 |
| aitrus | tolstoy: with scripts | 03:40 |
| tolstoy | sbcl didn't compile for me because the old version violated some boundries present in the new version. | 03:40 |
| aitrus | tolstoy: i don't know specifically about ubuntu, but when i was an rpm maintainer for a project, we had a build machien with different roots that you just dumped your srpm into and it compiled them for you | 03:40 |
| tolstoy | I wonder if I could report to them that it "broke" due to that, and they ought to fix it. | 03:40 |
| tolstoy | aitrus, so you might have a problem if the gcc on that machine couldn't compile the gcc srpm, eh? | 03:41 |
| tolstoy | I think that's the case here. | 03:41 |

| Tzigane | Yes =) | 08:07 |
| Tzigane | Although I'm still qwerty'ing, instead of using dvorak | 08:07 |
| TheMuso | I have never seen a dvorak keyboard | 08:07 |
| punkass | me either | 08:08 |
| Tzigane | I haven't seen one, I've just used the mapping | 08:08 |
| === TheMuso should set up a test Ubuntu install and try and use dvorak mapping. | ||
| Tzigane | Hmm... very impressed with ubuntu thus far.. | 08:08 |
| Tzigane | Yeah, it's worthwhile learning it | 08:08 |
| TheMuso | Thing is though, I don't think I will change. I know qwerty perfectly, so I don't feel there is any need to change. I am already quite speedy with qwerty. | 08:09 |
| === Zindar tried dvorak.. was pretty simple to learn.. but... vi with dvorak was NOT fun | ||
| Tzigane | qwerty was designed to slow typists down, during the good ol' typewriter days, when typing too quickly led to the head things crashing together... | 08:09 |

| Zindar | no | 08:10 |
| Tzigane | It takes way too long to learn... | 08:10 |
| Zindar | I guess not | 08:10 |
| Tzigane | I can, but I'm not as fast as qwerty =) | 08:10 |
| Zindar | there is a dvorak mode in vim | 08:10 |
| TheMuso | I have spent over 10 years honing my qwerty skills, I don't see how a change would help me. :) | 08:10 |
| Zindar | I think it changes hjkl to do the same at the same possition :) | 08:10 |
| Tzigane | Yeah something like that =) | 08:11 |
| Tzigane | It's just meant to be less RSI-ish | 08:11 |
| Zindar | TheMuso: I've used qwerty for about 24 years.... hard to change | 08:11 |
| Tzigane | I'm just gunna try rebooting into the default kernel ... | 08:11 |
| TheMuso | Well you don't get RSI if you have good posture while typing. I.E wrists up, arms relaxed, etc. | 08:12 |
| Tzigane | That's true | 08:12 |
| Tzigane | Wrists up? | 08:12 |
| TheMuso | Playing piano sort of helps that IMO. | 08:12 |
| Tzigane | You mean, like piano players? | 08:12 |
| Tzigane | Hmm... I hadn't thought of that | 08:12 |
| punkass | what is RSI? | 08:12 |
| Tzigane | Means you have to hold your arms up | 08:12 |
| Tzigane | repeditive stress injury | 08:12 |
| TheMuso | Yeah. That is what makes me keep my wrists up. | 08:12 |
| punkass | ah | 08:12 |
| Tzigane | repetitive, too | 08:12 |
| TheMuso | It is ok to have your elbos lower than your wrists while typing, but having your wrists up allows your fingers to move properly and not get squashed on the keyboard while you are typing for long stints. | 08:13 |
| Tzigane | Good point | 08:13 |
| Tzigane | Might try that more often =) | 08:13 |
| Tzigane | It does make it a little easier | 08:13 |
| TheMuso | Having your shoulders a good hight above the keyboard also helps. | 08:13 |
| Tzigane | By the way... does anyone know how to put a vga=... option in grub's menu.lst? I'm used to lilo... | 08:14 |
| hazmat | what does SABDFL stand for? | 08:14 |
| opi | that way most keyboards have small legs ;) | 08:14 |
| TheMuso | I personally believe that people who want to learn how to type properly need to look at a pianist playing the piano. | 08:14 |

| TheMuso | What X driver are you using? | 08:29 |
| |trey| | TheMuso: umm, he prolly had one installed on startup, Ubuntu does that automagically :/ | 08:30 |

| adam__ | how can I find out? don't want to guess | 08:30 |
| |trey| | s/startup/install time/ | 08:30 |
| |trey| | adam__: /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 | 08:31 |
| punkass | Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libburn-1.pc' | 08:32 |
| |trey| | adam__: do yourself a favor: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86... answer everything you know, on advanced... | 08:32 |

| punkass | ah | 08:34 |
| adam__ | pkg-config --list-all | 08:34 |
| |trey| | Never use pkgconfig :/ | 08:34 |

| adam__ | TheMuso: how? | 08:35 |
| |trey| | TheMuso: that was the next project *sigh*... someone asked if it was right driver :/ | 08:35 |
| punkass | adam: so it doesnt seem to show up there | 08:36 |
| |trey| | If there are company drivers... you always get them, damnit you paid enough for the support! | 08:36 |
| adam__ | i thought there was a radeon driver? | 08:36 |
| |trey| | adam__: there is... | 08:37 |
| adam__ | isn't that more specfic than ati? | 08:37 |
| |trey| | go to ATI's site, and read the instructions :/ | 08:37 |

| jdub | Kirsch: what was the bad default? | 09:29 |
| Kirsch | BusID | 09:31 |
| jdub | in XF86Config-4? for which card? | 09:32 |
| Kirsch | Yea, ATI Radeon M7 | 09:32 |
| Kirsch | u a dev for ubuntu? | 09:32 |
| jdub | yeah | 09:32 |
| Despair | jdub: it's a bad default, since it's unneeded in single card systems, and in 2 card it has good odds of picking the wrong card. | 09:32 |
| Kirsch | i love you :-) | 09:33 |
| jdub | fabbione, daniels: ping | 09:33 |
| Kirsch | Ubuntu owns... But yea | 09:33 |
| Kirsch | there are a few things i would like changed, but only from my laptop perspective, include ORINOCO_USB!! :-D | 09:33 |
| Kirsch | I compileed it, can I submit it? | 09:33 |
| Despair | Which is what happened to another guy earlier, with an unused prosavage being picked as the target for the radeon driver | 09:33 |
| punkass | jdub: do you know why libxml++2.6 is not in the repos? | 09:33 |
| jdub | punkass: check the build losg | 09:34 |
| jdub | http://people.ubuntulinux.org/~lamont/buildLogs/ | 09:34 |
| punkass | i couldnt seem to find it in there | 09:34 |
| fabbione | jdub ? | 09:34 |
| jdub | fabbione: see busid discussion above | 09:34 |
| fabbione | jdub: not now.. | 09:34 |
| jdub | punkass: perhaps it wasn't in sid at the time we froze | 09:35 |
| === helix [~helix@helix.user] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jdub | Kirsch: fabbione and daniels are the men to ask. perhaps mail ubuntu-devel about it. | 09:36 |
| Kirsch | fabbione: is it possible to submit that? | 09:36 |
| punkass | well its changelog is old Chris Leishman <masklin@debian.org> Sun, 10 Sep 2000 17:38:04 +1100 | 09:36 |
| punkass | hmm that doesnt make much sense since 2.6 wasnt around in 2000 | 09:37 |
| fabbione | ok | 09:37 |
| fabbione | hold on | 09:37 |
| fabbione | what is this problem with the BusID? | 09:37 |
| Despair | fabbione: it prevents direct rendering from working with a stock XF86Config-4 | 09:38 |
| Kirsch | apparently by having BusID enabled, it had problems with DRI | 09:38 |
| Despair | since it's doing things like specifying the busid for the internal prosavage that they aren't using. | 09:38 |
| Kirsch | but when i commented ti out, it worked fine | 09:38 |
| fabbione | one at a time | 09:39 |
| Kirsch | u go since u know more details | 09:39 |
| Kirsch | i'll ask my question after | 09:39 |
| Keybuk | punkass: gpg: Signature made Mon 21 Jun 2004 13:30:16 BST using DSA key ID B4E24219 | 09:39 |
| punkass | hmm wonder when ubuntu froze | 09:40 |
| Despair | fabbione: I don't think the 1st AGP/PCI device isn't guaranteed to be 1:0:0, either, which may be what bit Kirsch. He's the 2nd person I know who has hit the problem. | 09:40 |
| Despair | fabbione: one laptop, one desktop, very different configs. | 09:40 |
| fabbione | Despair: the PCI values are calculated | 09:40 |
| Keybuk | roundabout then. so it may have just not made it in | 09:40 |
| fabbione | Despair: the same way as the first primary card is detected | 09:40 |
| fabbione | Despair: it's not a random value | 09:40 |
| Kirsch | its not detecting it properly on mine tho... | 09:41 |
| Despair | fabbione: so why is it setting 1:0:0 on the driver for the 2nd card? and getting it wrong for Kirsch? | 09:41 |
| jdub | punkass: late june | 09:41 |
| fabbione | Despair: do you have 2 differend cards in the box? | 09:41 |
| punkass | doh. ok thanks | 09:42 |
| Despair | fabbione: I didn't get hit by it, I commented it out before getting X working. | 09:42 |
| Despair | fabbione: mikal_ is the other one who got hit by it (hope I'm remembering his nickname right) | 09:42 |
| Kirsch | are there benefits to having BusID there? | 09:42 |
| fabbione | Kirsch: some cards do NOT work without | 09:42 |
| Keybuk | punkass: in fact, it didn't get *uploaded* to Debian until 5th July | 09:42 |
| Keybuk | http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-changes/2004/07/msg00336.html | 09:42 |
| punkass | Keybuk: thanks...that would explain why its not there | 09:43 |
| fabbione | Despair: if the savage driver does not support the BusID, it should simply skip it. | 09:43 |
| punkass | i am tempted to try the debian one.... | 09:43 |
| fabbione | Despair: if it doesn't is a driver problem | 09:43 |
| Despair | fabbione: it sounds like it's not checking to make sure it matches the PCI ID to the right card. Should probably get lspci output from both these guys and try to figure out what is happening | 09:43 |
| fabbione | Despair: not a configuration error | 09:43 |
| Keybuk | punkass: it was probably sat in the NEW queue for a few days | 09:44 |
| Despair | fabbione: he's not using the savage at all | 09:44 |
| Keybuk | and hadn't popped out by the time warty froze | 09:44 |
| Despair | fabbione: onboard, I think he said it's disabled in cmos | 09:44 |
| fabbione | <Despair> since it's doing things like specifying the busid for the internal | 09:44 |

| sivang | bob2_ : I am not sure | 09:50 |
| fabbione | Kirsch: 1) what is exactly the problem :-) | 09:50 |
| Kirsch | the card is a ATI Radeon M7 (7500) Mobility | 09:50 |
| Kirsch | checking for more details | 09:50 |
| sivang | jdub : you know if rsync is for anonymous access on p.u.c ? | 09:50 |
| fabbione | Kirsch: ok. i know that card... i have a mobility M6 and i had the Evo nc8000 for a month or so | 09:51 |
| sivang | jdub : I mean, if it's available to those who don't have an ssh account there? | 09:51 |
| Kirsch | ok | 09:51 |
| Kirsch | all i did to fix the problem was i disabled the BusID line in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 | 09:51 |
| fabbione | Kirsch: and the problem was to get DRI working? | 09:51 |
| jdub | sivang: rsync on people? dunno | 09:51 |
| Kirsch | Yes | 09:51 |
| fabbione | ok | 09:51 |
| sivang | jdub : ok, I | 09:51 |
| sivang | jdub : 'll stick to gnome download manager :) | 09:52 |
| fabbione | Kirsch: now i want you to do 3 things | 09:52 |
| Kirsch | I got an error with DRI start, i forgot what it was but itwas (EE) DRI failed | 09:52 |
| Despair | fabbione: sorry, it was mirak_ who had the same problem | 09:52 |
| fabbione | Kirsch: first of all open a bug on bugzilla.ubuntu.com describing exactly the problem. | 09:52 |
| bob2_ | sivang: "rsync people.ubuntulinux.org::" will show if anything's available | 09:52 |
| fabbione | Kirsch: and add to the bug the configuration with the BusId enabled and disable | 09:53 |

| fabbione | Kirsch: and the Xfree86 logs of X starting in both the condition | 09:53 |
| sivang | bob2_ : tnx | 09:53 |
| ygnome | fabbione: I'm still waiting for a bugzilla password from Sunday... | 09:54 |
| ygnome | fabbione: I'd like to help with bugreports but bugzilla sucks bad... | 09:54 |
| fabbione | ygnome: ask justdave | 09:54 |
| fabbione | i am not bugzilla maintainer | 09:55 |
| justdave | ask elmo, I don't have access to the logs. | 09:55 |
| Despair | fabbione: that bad paste I did earlier was from mirak_'s XFree86 log, and I believe that's the same thing Kirsch reported earlier. | 09:55 |
| justdave | I'm willing to bet your ISP does callback verification | 09:56 |
| ygnome | k. problem is, who else is having problems and giving up? It's a waste of effort. There should be an email link on there or something for when it's broken.... | 09:56 |
| fabbione | Despair: it seems to be either a driver problem or a kernel problem. I am checking with Kirsch | 09:56 |
| justdave | our bugzilla machine doesn't have inbound email, so if they try to connect back, it fails | 09:56 |
| fabbione | Despair: for sure it's not something it will get fixed for warty | 09:56 |

| justdave | ygnome: I can set your password for you so you can get in. | 09:59 |
| ygnome | justdave: ok that's a plan :) | 09:59 |
| Kirsch | Despair: it must be something, i can't reproduce the problem... | 10:00 |
| Skif | Kirsch: those messages are harmless; they're just the kernel trying to load some modules and failing | 10:02 |
| justdave | ygnome: long term you could either get your ISP to whitelist us or maybe we'll get the inbound email working one of these days | 10:02 |
| Despair | hw_random is a disappointingly rare hardware feature. | 10:03 |
| ygnome | justdave: ok. thanks. maybe be a good idea to have an explanation on the bugzilla sign-up page about it? | 10:03 |
| justdave | yeah, probably wouldn't hurt. | 10:03 |

| Ng | that's what makes the magic happen | 10:12 |
| punkass | then what do u use to select the res? | 10:12 |
| Ng | I tell ut to play in 1280x1024, which thanks to the third metamode there, I can offer, so it switches to that | 10:13 |
| punkass | ah automatically...nice | 10:13 |
| punkass | well since i am 1280 normally... maybe ill do a 1024x768, NULL for ut | 10:14 |

| Ng | especially on a deb based system | 10:23 |
| opi^work | Ng: tar is usefull to restoring system :) | 10:24 |

| Lathiat | the only thing ar is usually used for is dpkg, and thats in /usr/bin, so | 10:24 |
| Ng | I didn't say it would be a good case ;) | 10:24 |
| Keybuk | Lathiat: yeah, but if you want to unpack .debs without dpkg (like, say, if you rm /usr) you need ar | 10:24 |

| jamesh | krischan: if it is the bug I think it is, it is a problem in the xterm terminfo definition | 11:06 |
| jamesh | krischan: the terminal emulator in gnome-terminal uses the terminfo definitions to work out what features to provide. | 11:06 |
| krischan | jamesh: I'm also searching on the topic, reading something about xterm emulation. Where can I find this xterm terminfo definition, and what do I have to change in order to get it right. | 11:10 |

| xskoulax | tell you what any distro that ships with artwork featuring attractive models gets my vote ;-) | 11:44 |
| Krypt0n | haha :p | 11:44 |
| Krypt0n | the only problem is that would affect the growth of the distro | 11:44 |
| xskoulax | would be nice to increase the number of said desktops though to feature more cultures | 11:44 |
| MyKq3 | krischan, how can i check it ? | 11:44 |
| Krypt0n | since corporate/education users wouldnt like it | 11:44 |
| Krypt0n | which i assume is the ONLY problem with the picture | 11:45 |

| sertmann | Treenaks: well it's not easy to find.... | 12:28 |
| Treenaks | sertmann: it's in the topic! | 12:28 |
| Treenaks | FAQ: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/ | 12:29 |
| Ng | dyn: I think that's somewhere on the wiki/faq | 12:29 |
| Ng | dyn: I vaguely remember reading something about the cpu targets they compile for | 12:29 |
| sertmann | well i was just looking though the faq, and i still can't find it... | 12:29 |
| dyn | i just ask, because it's noticably *much* faster than my optimized-for-cpu gentoo built from stage1, and several friends reported the same | 12:30 |
| dyn | Ng: we really have no idea about how this can happen | 12:30 |
| Ng | how was the gentoo build "optimized"? | 12:30 |
| UBMike | Treenaks, when I 'sudo nvidia-glx-config enable' will I lose X? | 12:31 |
| Ng | slapping a load of -f and -O gcc options into a config file is not the same as optimising ;) | 12:31 |
| muelling | dyn: i feel the same wih gentoo. | 12:31 |
| dyn | Ng: ok, you got point here :) | 12:31 |
| Ng | especially -O3 ;) | 12:31 |
| dyn | i didn't tweak it much, but it was compiled with -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe | 12:31 |

| Ng | dyn: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/optimised-packages/view | 12:33 |
| dyn | let me check, Ng | 12:33 |
| darkersatanic | Aren't the standard Gentoo optimisation flags: -O666 -fomit-instructions | 12:33 |
| dyn | i'd like to keep that discussion tech-close, if possible | 12:34 |

| darkersatanic | dyn: Sorry. :) | 12:34 |
| dyn | darkersatanic: thanks ;) | 12:34 |
| dyn | for example, i dont use kde. but my noob friend installing ubuntu yesterday, reported a KDE startup time of about 5 secs on ubuntu, and had it around 20secs on gentoo | 12:35 |

| dyn | which is quite a difference | 12:35 |
| UBMike | Treenaks, well, it's working... :) | 12:35 |
| UBMike | now to change res... | 12:35 |
| Ng | dyn: there are so many things that can affect that, it's quite hard to pin it down to gcc | 12:36 |
| dyn | Ng: the "optimised C library" stands for a tweaked glibc compilation, or something else? | 12:36 |
| dyn | Ng: yeah i know it's a fast moving target ;) | 12:36 |
| Ng | I would assume that's just glibc built for i686 | 12:36 |
| sjoerd | dyn: such a big speedup can't be just gcc | 12:36 |
| dyn | Ng: i'm just looking for any hints or tips on what can cause that | 12:36 |
| Ng | does gentoo (or unbuntu for that matter) do prelinking? | 12:36 |
| Ng | that's supposed to speed up c++ apps quite a lot | 12:37 |
| dyn | gentoo can be configured to use prelinking | 12:37 |
| dyn | ubuntu uses it? it could explain the vast difference between kde startup times | 12:37 |
| sertmann | UBMike. good luck, i had to salvage an old XF86Config-4 from my old debian drive to get higher than 640x480 could get ubuntu to configure it properly, if you can't get it working - that's an idea right there :) | 12:37 |
| Ng | dyn: I'm not sure if ubuntu does, it was just a possibility that sprung to mind | 12:37 |
| sertmann | couldn't even | 12:37 |
| UBMike | sertmann, well, I have 1024x768... | 12:38 |
| dyn | sjoerd: can you confirm ubuntu using extensive prelinking with its packages? | 12:38 |
| jk | ubuntu doesn't use prelinking...it does something else with gnome | 12:38 |
| Ng | I see no prelink on my ubuntu install, so I guess it doesn't use it either | 12:38 |

| stvn | TheMuso: cdrecord -scanbus to see where my device is, but it gives a long warning message about unsettled issues on 2.5+ kernels | 03:16 |

| Zindar | actually.. since ubuntu works with a "clean" desktop... WHY isn't that default? | 03:25 |
| Zindar | s/works/starts/ | 03:25 |
| Kamion | Zindar: it was a compromise; if you don't put the icons on the desktop, there's no discoverable way to cleanly unmount those filesystems | 03:25 |
| Zindar | Kamion: alright... | 03:26 |
| Kamion | Zindar: we'll probably be doing something better for hoary, although I'm not familiar with the details | 03:26 |
| Zindar | oki | 03:26 |

| Kamion | kent: discoverability; people need to know how to unmount their removable devices without being intimately familiar with our menu system | 03:35 |
| brosen | TheMuso: Thanks, I was trying to think of a reason not to go with the default kernel ;-) | 03:36 |

| Noodles | Sorry. ww. | 03:43 |
| Kamion | brosen: the k7 kernel isn't autodetected because it isn't on the CD; unless you're doing a netboot install, you'll have to install it afterwards | 03:44 |
| mrjive | i noticed, on two machines with nvidia vga cards, that xfree86 uses 800x600 at 24 while it could use 1024x768 at 16 bit. Don' you think the latter would be a better default? | 03:45 |
| pitti | mrjive: sounds like a matter of preference | 03:45 |
| pitti | mrjive: can you switch the mode in the Gnome menu? | 03:46 |
| pitti | mrjive: i. e. did the installation detect the 1024 mode? | 03:46 |
| brosen | Kamion: Thanks for the heads up. | 03:46 |
| mrjive | pitti, mo, because of the 24/16 bit | 03:46 |
| mrjive | pitti, actully if i remember well, it was 640x480 | 03:47 |
| mrjive | pitti, the only resolution mentioned is 640x480 (or 800x600 if i'm wrong now) | 03:48 |

| joolz | UBMike: i know, but i don't understand why one would create a package that doesn't do anything itself, but only has dependencies pointing to it. | 04:23 |
| lamont | and ubuntu-desktop is nothing more than a "package" of dependencies to pull in all of the "desktop" stuff | 04:23 |
| lamont | it has no dependencies pointing to it, rather they point from it. | 04:23 |
| UBMike | joolz, listen to lamont | 04:23 |
| joolz | UBMike: sure :) | 04:24 |
| lamont | and the purpose is so that you can say 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' instead of apt-get install <long and not necessarily constant over time list of packages>' | 04:24 |
| joolz | lamont: ok, but what's the point? | 04:24 |
| joolz | lamont: ah! that makes sense | 04:24 |
| lamont | once it's installed, it can safely be removed. | 04:24 |
| abstrato_general | lamont: what, you have a terminal with voice recognition? :-) | 04:24 |
| UBMike | lamont rocks, joolz. be nice to him :) | 04:24 |
| lamont | however, if the desktop list adds new packages later, you might not get them | 04:24 |
| joolz | lamont: i'll worry about that then :) | 04:25 |
| lamont | abstrato_general: nah, just anticipating questions | 04:25 |
| joolz | i guess it's the same for ubuntu-base? | 04:25 |
| lamont | joolz: and removing it will free up several kilobytes of disk space. | 04:25 |

| mirak_ | you too then jstrike, | 06:25 |
| JStrike | That is a tad too expensive to do right now, but I am in quite a situation, since one of the cd's has all my notes for my exam tommorrow | 06:25 |

| bur[n] er | anyone know why rhythmbox would work with kde, but not gnome... with gnome it stops playing the song and starts skipping the same part over and over and over forever | 06:26 |
| ggi | bur[n] er: You don't have gstreamer set to use aRts output, do you? | 06:26 |

| stvn | ggi: seems like you were right, I think my clock is back to normal | 06:45 |

| === tom_cat [~tom_cat@203.210.207.149] has left #ubuntu [] | ||

| Kamion | sri_: I suspect rather few people test with f-secure | 07:23 |
| sri_ | Kamion: apparently it never gave me a password when it created my account.. | 07:23 |
| sri_ | Kamion: so I'm kinda stuck. | 07:23 |

| sri_ | Kamion: okay will do. | 07:24 |
| Mitario | JStrik1, every idea is welcome of course | 07:24 |
| JStrik1 | Mitario : But I do not see why a user would ever need to know about a system library. Whether to install it or upgrade it, he should never have to know what the hell libgnomeui is etc | 07:24 |

| JStrik1 | It is there to play around with if they need to | 07:27 |

| Mitario | JStrik1, i'm creating my mockups with ruby, i have not yet decided which language i'm going to use for the real stuff | 07:27 |

| Ng | jono: it did here :) | 07:28 |
| jono | Ng, oh, wow :) | 07:28 |
| JStrik1 | Mitario : They should only ever be presented with Application Names. Not sure if Linspire is similar, but it does sound like they do hide the cruft away | 07:29 |
| Ng | jono: they should also show up in the Network window available from the Computer menu, but that's not really important ;) | 07:29 |
| Mitario | JStrik1, ah | 07:30 |
| JStrik1 | Although to make it truly good, it would require a restructuring of the apt repo's | 07:30 |
| teroz | :( | 07:30 |
| jono | :) | 07:31 |
| Kamion | JStrik1: I don't believe that; you can add more metadata on top without restructuring it | 07:31 |
| Ng | teroz: sorry, I missed your last response.... "sudo /sbin/iptables -vL" will show you your firewall | 07:32 |
| teroz | okay thanx - let me just check that Ng | 07:32 |
| Mitario | Well, I think the 'Short Description' header in a deb is sufficiant | 07:33 |
| JStrik1 | Kamion : You think so. Ideally you want something similar to a html page so that people can see a small screenshot as well as a description of what they are going to install | 07:33 |
| === darksatanic [~hugo@81-5-136-19.dsl.eclipse.net.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| teroz | no there doesn't seem to be any rules setup | 07:34 |
| Kamion | that's an interesting description of "ideally" | 07:35 |
| === Kamion contemplates a screenshot of man-db | ||
| Tzalidar | is there a good automount usb tutorial | 07:35 |
| JStrik1 | But there still needs to be a way to filter out all libraries, not sure if there is a structure in place for that. (New to debian. But apt-rpms suffered) | 07:35 |
| Ng | teroz: hmm. | 07:35 |
| JStrik1 | Kamion : That is the point | 07:35 |
| Tzalidar | when my friend plugs in his usb, nautilus automatically opens it and he can begin using it, with automount magic and all ;) and all that in a unconfigurated ubuntu system | 07:35 |
| JStrik1 | A user shouldn't have to be faced with that | 07:35 |
| Kamion | JStrik1: uh, man-db is an end-user application if anything else | 07:36 |
| Kamion | s/else/is/ | 07:36 |
| Ng | teroz: ideally the next diagnostic would be to grab network traffic and see what is happening. That's a little complex for talking through on IRC though ;) | 07:36 |
| Kamion | regardless of how much of an anti-terminal bias you have | 07:36 |
| === yoplait_ [~yoplait@22-110.241.81.adsl.skynet.be] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| JStrik1 | It doesn'y come much bigger than my anti-terminal bias | 07:36 |
| Kamion | I'm sure :) | 07:36 |
| teroz | okay will give it a try - thanx will let u know if i can't proceed | 07:36 |
| __daniel | could someone doublecheck if i'm the only one with a stupid epiphany? | 07:37 |
| teroz | thANX Ng | 07:37 |
| Ng | teroz: take a look at ethereal | 07:37 |
| Mitario | JStrik1, but why woudn't you want to list libraries as an update? | 07:37 |
| JStrik1 | Kamion : I dont see it as an app that people would install willingly | 07:37 |
| __daniel | open 3 webpages in different tabs and then try to open page 3 with alt-3 | 07:37 |
| Ng | teroz: and good luck :) | 07:37 |
| Kamion | JStrik1: as the man-db maintainer, I respectfully disagree. | 07:37 |

| Kamion | JStrik1: the point is, people's opinions on what is interesting vary wildly, and pushing all of them off to synaptic is going to limit the appeal of an upgrade notifier significantly | 07:38 |
| JStrik1 | Mitario : Why should someone be made aware that they have libgnomeui installed? Abiword ? Yes. libgnomeui? No | 07:39 |
| Mitario | JStrik1, and why not, as a developer, I would be really pleased to know that for example libgnomeui is updated | 07:39 |
| theantix | __daniel: actually I do get tabs number misbehaving on occasion, with the numbers being the order of creation not the order on the screen | 07:39 |
| Kamion | JStrik1: due respect, but it's not just end users who want easy upgrades | 07:40 |
| JStrik1 | Kamion : Fair enough. But I am not talking specifically about an update notifier | 07:40 |
| __daniel | hmmmm, alt-3 isnt taken (from what i see in the keyboard config thingie) | 07:40 |
| Kamion | it's often developers too | 07:40 |
| JStrik1 | Mitario : But are developers the Gnome target audience? (Well, kinda, but you know what I mean) | 07:40 |
| __daniel | theantix, that's strange: epiphany's tabs always worked nice for me since the first official .deb on | 07:41 |
| Mitario | JStrik1, ok, say, my father, is a windows user, what is the harm that he know that libgnomeui is installed? | 07:41 |
| Ng | Mitario: he might not | 07:41 |
| Ng | err | 07:42 |
| Ng | there is more to that sentence ;) | 07:42 |
| Mitario | if he doesn't want to know, he'll just think 'oh, something my computer needs', i'll update it | 07:42 |
| Ng | Mitario: he might not be so happy with a list of hundreds of lib packages | 07:42 |
| JStrik1 | It is very overwhelming. I have never gotten used to knowing what is on my computer | 07:42 |
| Mitario | Ng, and what does he se when he starts synaptic? | 07:42 |
| Mitario | see* | 07:42 |
| Ng | Mitario: an insanely long list ;) | 07:42 |
| Mitario | indeed ;) | 07:42 |
| Tzalidar | about my usb question; dmesg told me that i had a incorrect filesystem on the usb stick, so ill reformat it :) | 07:42 |
| Ng | imvho updating and installing apps are two seperate apps | 07:43 |
| Mitario | what if my dads download skype from skype.com | 07:43 |
| Ng | tasks, rather | 07:43 |
| Mitario | it isn't included in the distro, and on the skype page is: this program needs the qt library to run | 07:43 |
| Mitario | he goes to synaptic and searches for the qt library | 07:43 |
| Mitario | it is in the distro, but because synaptic hides all the libraries, he can't find it | 07:43 |
| Despair | ugh, rhythmbox isn't updating song titles on streaming music. *misses gxine* | 07:44 |

| JStrik1 | Mitario : But, maybe I misunderstood what you were aiming for. I want to do a replacement for synaptic that sane as well as have an update utility | 07:44 |

| andril | hello all | 07:44 |
| JStrik1 | Mitario : When he tries to install it, the package management app will retrieve it in the backaground | 07:44 |
| Mitario | JStrik1, my first goal was to create a nice update installation thingy, not a replacement for the package manager :) | 07:44 |
| Despair | I don't think synaptic needs replacing. Maybe a default filter that's a bit less mindnumbing than "all" ;) | 07:45 |

| ploum | mdz, I must ping you about #2296 | 10:05 |
| mdz | ploum: ? | 10:06 |
| ploum | yep, do you need more info about #2296 ? | 10:06 |
| === s7s [~s7s@port915.ds1-he.adsl.cybercity.dk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| mdz | ploum: please understand, we have a large number of bugs to deal with right now | 10:07 |
| ploum | my friend (the bug reporter) has still no sound on his laptop and, because it's a very common config, we think that it would be cool to solve this issue | 10:07 |
| mdz | many of them are important for tomorrow's release | 10:07 |
| mdz | there is not time for individual attention for every bug | 10:07 |
| ploum | mdz, I understand, it's just that seb128 says me to ask you about it | 10:07 |
| Kamion | and many things inevitably have to be deferred | 10:07 |
| mdz | ploum: it works perfectly for me on all of my test machines; I have no idea why you have no /dev/dsp | 10:07 |
| mdz | the correct modules seem to be loaded | 10:08 |
| mdz | so perhaps your sound device is not supported | 10:08 |
| ploum | I've already see that on somes Sarge install | 10:08 |
| mdz | ploum: see what exactly? | 10:08 |
| ploum | it's because Oss AND Alsa drivers were loaded | 10:08 |
| ukasz | no dev/dsp? | 10:08 |
| === maskie [~maskie@196-30-110-64.uudial.uunet.co.za] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| ploum | yes | 10:08 |
| ukasz | do you have oss compatibility modules loaded? | 10:09 |
| ukasz | they provide it | 10:09 |
| JStrike | Kamion : What would be ideal would be an app that contains/incorporates something like the ui-vision here (http://www.autopackage.org/ui-vision.html) I think that apt could be used to power it though | 10:09 |
| mdz | ukasz: he does; his sound device is not recognized by the ALSA driver at all | 10:09 |
| ploum | And the solution was always to compile a new kernel without OSS support (but OSS emulation throught ALSA enabled) | 10:09 |
| mdz | ploum: you say this is a Dell laptop? | 10:09 |
| JStrike | Kamion : Sorry to bring that up again :-) | 10:09 |
| ukasz | so he needs to manualy load the driver | 10:09 |
| mdz | ploum: perhaps you have bug #1254, try that | 10:09 |
| ploum | mdz, yes (it's not mine so I don't have it here) | 10:09 |
| mdz | ploum: test please | 10:10 |
| ploum | mdz, thx, I forward it ! | 10:10 |

| lamont | stvn: the installer adds the initial user to /etc/sudoers for you | 11:28 |
| Kamion | JStrike: and there exist packages which you *cannot* install in isolation; you need to install two packages simultaneously. The next layer up is responsible for taking care of this. | 11:28 |
| stvn | lamont: ah ok - eek vi | 11:29 |
| Kamion | stvn: visudo actually uses $EDITOR; the name is historical | 11:29 |

| xskoulax | brettcar: thx just what i needed i guess, i looked at the hardware list and it said the 9500 pro was supporting the 3d so was suprised at the fps | 11:30 |
| Kamion | stvn: recommended against | 11:30 |
| stvn | Kamion: why? | 11:30 |
| Kamion | stvn: visudo also does error checking to make sure you don't lock yourself out due to a syntax error in sudoers | 11:30 |
| brettcar | xskoulax: After installation you should get well over 1000 | 11:30 |
| Kamion | stvn: and locks the file against concurrent modification | 11:31 |

| stvn | Kamion: ah ok | 11:31 |
| xskoulax | after installation i'm going to have to locate that loki quake3 :D | 11:31 |
| stvn | how long does ubuntu exist now? | 11:32 |
| Kamion | stvn: we held the kick-off meeting in April | 11:32 |
| Kamion | of course, it didn't have a name then :) | 11:32 |
| stvn | Kamion: ok, it's a shame I didn't know about it before last week :( | 11:32 |
| Kamion | stvn: we didn't go public until mid-September | 11:33 |
| stvn | I just converted the last computer of my housemates to debian, and ubuntu would have been perfect for mine/their needs :( | 11:33 |
| JStrike | Kamion : Are you one of the packagers? | 11:33 |
| Kamion | JStrike: yes | 11:33 |
| stvn | Kamion: ah that explains, I was away for a month starting half september, I came back and discovered ubuntu, wondering why I didn't knew it before | 11:33 |
| Kamion | JStrike: the example I'm thinking of is libc6/libdb1-compat, although of course you wouldn't install those two from scratch | 11:34 |

| JStrike | Is there any chance you could package gnome-bt (http://gnome-bt.sourceforge.net/) and build it against ubuntu? The debs it supplies are built against a newer version of python | 11:35 |
| __daniel | JStrike, it's in jdub's repository | 11:36 |
| JStrike | Kamion : True | 11:36 |
| JStrike | jdub has a repo? | 11:36 |
| __daniel | JStrike, deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~jdub/warty/ ./ | 11:36 |

| neuro_ | which is handy as fsck, as I couldn't get mplayer to install from marillat | 11:40 |

| xskoulax | lamont ^ | 11:42 |
| JStrike | unless I am going crazy, I dont see it in http://people.ubuntu.com/~jdub/warty/ | 11:43 |
| lamont | liveCD has no install components | 11:43 |
| JStrike | unless it is libgnomebt0 | 11:43 |
| xskoulax | lamont: anychance that will be added? | 11:43 |
| will | goodnight peeps! im off | 11:43 |
| lamont | in the 4MB of CD space left? I kinda doubt that. | 11:43 |
| JStrike | It just seems to contains the gnome-bluetooth stuff | 11:43 |
| cprov | hi, guys, somebody can tel me why pylint isn't included yet on warty-universe ? | 11:44 |
| xskoulax | ahhhhh kinda packed i take it | 11:44 |

| lamont | cprov: that's a source package name? | 11:44 |
| JStrike | joem : Where did you see gnome-btdownload there? | 11:45 |
| lamont | cprov: appears to be a source package, so that would mean that it was added to debian after June 28 | 11:45 |
| wolf2945 | hey, im trying to install warty-install-amd64. on base install i get linux-image-amd64-generic has an error, cant install. redownloaded the RC and burned it again, same thing. any ideas? | 11:46 |
| joem | JStrike, on the sf site | 11:46 |
| Kamion | wolf2945: worked for me with both the RC and today's daily ... | 11:47 |
| Kamion | wolf2945: switch to tty3 and see if there's more detail there | 11:47 |
| neuro_ | ah to have problems with amd64 | 11:47 |
| wolf2945 | says that package is not installable | 11:47 |
| wolf2945 | stat error | 11:47 |
| JStrike | joem : Oh? It doesn't work for me. Seems to need a newer version of python-gtk | 11:47 |
| neuro_ | i'd happily put up with probs if someone chucked me some adm-64 kit :> | 11:48 |
| joem | 2.4 is available | 11:48 |
| JStrike | jdub : ping | 11:48 |
| joem | don't remember if it is universe or main | 11:48 |
| Kamion | wolf2945: can you quote exactly? | 11:48 |
| JStrike | It is? | 11:48 |
| wolf2945 | sec | 11:48 |
| Kamion | paraphrased error messages are difficult to make out | 11:48 |
| cprov | lamont: yes, Aug 16th .. | 11:48 |
| wolf2945 | on another kvm port, will take a few | 11:48 |
| JStrike | Let me look | 11:48 |
| lamont | cprov: upstream freeze was June 28. | 11:49 |
| lamont | hence hoary | 11:49 |

| Kamion | in the case of w32codecs I might suspect legality | 11:51 |
| Kamion | everything in multiverse still has to be distributable ... | 11:51 |
| cprov | lamont: ok, is there any chance to include it in universe now ? or should I use the debian package ? | 11:51 |
| jdub | JStrike: mmm? | 11:51 |
| JStrike | joem : That doesn't seem to be the problem. I have 2.4 installed | 11:51 |
| wolf2945 | Kamion, /var/lib/apt/lists/_cdrom_dists_warty_main_binary-amd64_Packages - stat no such file or directory | 11:51 |
| joem | then whats its deal | 11:52 |
| Kamion | wolf2945: suggests problems reading the disk to me; I'm quite surprised it got that far ... | 11:52 |

| wolf2945 | i see the files in the iso. i guess ill try another disk | 11:52 |
| JStrike | not sure. Vague error message | 11:52 |
| Kamion | wolf2945: bizarre; sorry, honestly don't see what could be wrong, as I say it's been working for me on amd64 | 11:53 |
| wolf2945 | what board? | 11:53 |
| cprov | lamont: thanks, I'll do it :) | 11:53 |

| cristian | Kamion: what's the ubuntu way to compile a custom kernel, does make-kpkg applies as in debian? | 11:57 |
| wolf2945 | dont need windows for games, but anyways | 11:57 |
| Kamion | wolf2945: true, but still no filesystem survives long enough on that box to be worth bothering installing games on | 11:57 |
| ben54 | i have a small problem with Ubunutu and SpeedStep : the conf file seems to not be used, but if I laucnh cpufreqd in a terminal | 11:57 |
