| theantix | klein: I have had that problem too (with fedora) and I turned that setting off in the bios | 12:27 |

| jgeorgeson | Solkaris: I'd rather use the nautilus interface to burn an iso i already have, or just to make a data cd of some random set of files, but k3b is much nicer for doing audio cd, video cd, dvd, etc (i don't think nautilus interface even does any of those) | 12:30 |

| Solkaris | jgeorgeson aye .. it doesnt so if you need a real cd burner you need k3b .. which is why I said to asubedi that comparing the two .. nautilus cd creation software sucks in compared to k3b. Believe me I wish there was a Gnome based burner that was as nice as K3B because I HATE installing KDE and QT libraries to just to get a full function burner suite | 12:33 |

| Witigonen | The release in April is going to include Xorg instead of Xfree if I understood you correctly then, mdz? | 01:13 |
| ogra | Swankyguy: i have no clue, but you'll need a module called snd-sb16 i guess | 01:13 |
| ogra | Juerd_: great :) | 01:13 |

| Swankyguy | where? do I get the modules? | 01:14 |
| Juerd_ | Bad Things: partition table on hdc not recognised (clone of hda, so wth?); wacom still doesn't work; keyboard layout still not set in X; login screen gives no way of picking another keyboard layout; installation takes very long (why copy to hd first and then dpkg, and what's with all the python packages that take so long?) | 01:14 |
| ogra | Swankyguy: run: sudo modprobe snd-sb16 | 01:14 |

| Juerd_ | Phr0stByte: Yes, a Wacom Graphire I | 01:15 |

| Juerd_ | Phr0stByte: Which works with kernels <= 2.6.6, but not with > 2.6.6 | 01:15 |

| ogra | Swankyguy: play a sound ? | 01:16 |
| Swankyguy | the sound slider still isnt working | 01:16 |
| Juerd_ | Phr0stByte: I have a friend who got the pressure thingy working, but I never bothered because I have it solely as a pointing device | 01:16 |
| razorblade2000 | for me: ubuntu installed perfectly, keyboard layout was set fine, nice sounds, nice look | 01:16 |
| Juerd_ | Which of my "Bad Things" should I *not* report as a bug? | 01:16 |
| ogra | Swankyguy: so the same command with snd-sb16-dsp | 01:16 |
| fish | what does ubuntu use for hardware detection? knoppix? | 01:16 |
| Phr0stByte | Juerd_: So its the kernel thats the issue? | 01:16 |
| razorblade2000 | con: the powernow issue + my wifi card won't work with kismet "out of the box" | 01:16 |
| razorblade2000 | :D | 01:16 |
| Juerd_ | Phr0stByte: Yes, but I will not report the bug there. Either it's with Ubuntu, or it's not at all :) | 01:18 |
| swim | ogra I need to stop gdm though as well... | 01:18 |
| Juerd_ | The Wacom Graphire is recognised, by the way. It's the module that hasn't worked well since 2.6.7 | 01:18 |
| Phr0stByte | Juerd_: Its not an Ubuntu issue - believe me | 01:18 |
| LinuxJones | Ok I set Option "Emulate3Button" "no" in my XF86Config-4 file yesterday. It is still doing 3 button emulatiion...wth ? | 01:18 |

| DoppleGanger | http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | 02:07 |
| cardador | dev1: 2.6.8 | 02:08 |
| meff | yes yes that one DoppleGanger ;) | 02:08 |
| jdub | dev1: 2.6.8.1, patched | 02:08 |
| dev1 | what is "standard debian-unstable" shipping? | 02:08 |
| jdub | no idea | 02:08 |
| jdub | different to our kernel, anyway | 02:08 |
| meff | jdub, you a ubuntu dev? | 02:09 |
| dev1 | I have to create some software that needs to go on debian but I hate Debian's installer and want to install Ubuntu instead | 02:09 |
| jdub | yes | 02:09 |
| jdub | ubuntu uses a simplified version of debian's installer | 02:09 |
| knewt | ok, took a while to get everything sorted out like i want but i've now successfully completed my upgrade from woody and everything seems good | 02:09 |

| LeeColleton | are there any issues with including strong encryption with ubuntu? Why was gnupg included but no key manager (like seahorse or gpa)? | 02:26 |
| meff | heh, gnupg is a key manager | 02:26 |
| jharrison | Ng: fglrx? | 02:26 |
| LeeColleton | yeah, like lynx is a web browser | 02:26 |
| theantix | LeeColleton: both are in universe | 02:26 |

| georgia | LeeColleton: lynx IS a web browser | 02:27 |

| LeeColleton | georgia: and gnupg IS a key manager. I know. | 02:27 |
| jharrison | hehe | 02:27 |
| georgia | you shoudl have specified a GUI key manager | 02:27 |
| ogra | RuffianSoldier: only 5 :( | 02:27 |
| meff | last time i checked most of those graphical key managers were dead :) | 02:27 |

| jharrison | RuffianSoldier: link? | 02:27 |
| tvon|x31 | Didn't seahorse just have a new release? | 02:28 |
| georgia | gpg is not a gui key manager and lynx is not a gui browser, but they are respectively key managers and browsers | 02:28 |
| theantix | I think Seahorse is being considered for gnome 2.10 isn't it? | 02:28 |
| LeeColleton | I'm making the point that the average end user will not be able to use gnupg from the command line. Nor will they want to use lynx | 02:28 |
| tvon|x31 | dunno, I have/use it and it's decent | 02:28 |

| brettcar | SmokingFire: I think no one will read it | 02:28 |

| jharrison | so if someone cracks your normal user password they can sudo whatever they want | 02:40 |
| jharrison | nice! | 02:40 |
| ogra | jharrison: if someone cracks you root pw as well | 02:40 |
| LinuxJones | jharrison, they have to get your userID as well 1st | 02:41 |
| ogra | but with sudo he fist has to guess your username ;) | 02:41 |
| jharrison | ogra: yeah but my root password is different then my user password | 02:41 |
| witigonen | How do I go about mounting NTFS partitions? Or.. is there an FAQ I can look at so I don't have to bother you people with questions you hear forty times a day? | 02:41 |
| jharrison | ogra: is your user name ogra? | 02:41 |
| ogra | jharrison: sudo is logging all commands | 02:41 |

| lejeunefille | very buggy | 04:21 |
| Aan23433 | I think Knoppix or even Lindows might be a better choice. | 04:21 |
| lejeunefille | yep | 04:21 |
| paulproteus | lejeunefille: Oh, I hadn't realized. I've only used it a little. | 04:21 |
| paulproteus | What kind of bugs does it have? | 04:21 |
| baHam | paulproteus, the point is to convert them, not to find a proper title.. | 04:21 |
| TheMuso | lejeunefille: It may be buggy for you, but may not be for others. | 04:21 |
| adam_ | Are there websites that have alternate themes for login and splash screens? | 04:21 |
| paulproteus | baHam: Well, I must have a good title if they're to sign up (-; | 04:21 |
| Aan23433 | 'get on their feet' -dealing with text installer and trying to repartition your hard drive... while trying to setup your network, printer, etc. | 04:21 |
| baHam | paulproteus, you are teaching in which uni ? | 04:21 |
| paulproteus | adam_: kde-look.org and deviantart.org have backgrounds, at least. | 04:22 |
| paulproteus | Johns Hopkins University. A general university with a school of engineering and arts & sciences school. | 04:22 |
| lejeunefille | TheMuso: its called debian i don't use knock offs | 04:22 |
| baHam | adam_, gnome-look.org | 04:22 |
| baHam | adam_, and art.gnome.org | 04:22 |
| paulproteus | I'm just a student, but we can teach mini-courses over Intersession. | 04:22 |
| ushooz | gnome-look.org does too as well as art.gnome.org | 04:22 |
| baHam | paulproteus, yea, in which uni ? | 04:22 |
| Aan23433 | paul, do you get a credit for that? | 04:22 |
| ushooz | doh, baHam :) | 04:22 |
| paulproteus | Johns Hopkins University. www.jhu.edu ;) | 04:22 |
| ushooz | beat me to it | 04:22 |
| baHam | ushooz, I've been using art.gnome.org like since I was 12 | 04:23 |
| Aan23433 | Johns Hopkins U is a very prestigious undergrad and medical school.. | 04:23 |
| paulproteus | Aan23433: No, but you get to feel really happy with your computer at the end ;-) | 04:23 |

| Aan23433 | I download like every single releases but have yet to make the switch.. I am not smart enough, me figures. | 04:23 |
| ushooz | I was bummed when it was down for so long with gnome.org was hacked | 04:23 |
| paulproteus | So is the consensus that Ubuntu is too buggy to use for new Windows converts? | 04:24 |
| TheMuso | paulproteus: No way | 04:24 |
| Aan23433 | paul, I agree.. | 04:24 |
| Aan23433 | try installing on different computers.. | 04:24 |
| paulproteus | It seems virtually everything can be configured from the GUI. | 04:24 |
| baHam | I'd say no.. | 04:24 |
| Aan23433 | tried on two separate machines...both had serious issues that prevented me from using it on a day to day basis.. | 04:24 |
| paulproteus | And I'm very proficient at Linux installs, so I can help them get it on if that's the need. | 04:24 |
| paulproteus | When people say "yes" or "no", do they mean "yes, use it" or "yes, it's too buggy"? | 04:24 |
| baHam | I converted like 20-30 people in italy to ubuntu.. I helped them, but they got everything working so they are very glad.. and I am too | 04:24 |
| lejeunefille | ha whatever noob | 04:24 |
| TheMuso | andy__: Perhaps if it were using a 2.4 kernel you may have not had problems? How old are those machines? | 04:24 |
| TheMuso | paulproteus: Yes use Ubuntu | 04:25 |
| paulproteus | TheMuso: Okay. Then I will! :-) | 04:25 |
| Aan23433 | well, I still lean towards Knoppix or Gnoppix...more out of box software...and better hardware compatibility.. | 04:25 |
| TheMuso | But knoppix uses KDE. | 04:25 |
| baHam | the only thing that is weird is that the packages are old.. | 04:25 |
| ushooz | grr. I got to write a letter of move out of my flat. Jacked up the price and it is not worth it for this little place | 04:26 |
| === TheMuso shudders at the thought of KDE. :) | ||
| paulproteus | I want to give the non-techies a compelling, "This does everything I want and looks consistent" feel. | 04:26 |

| TheMuso | Sorry Aan23433 What makes you think so | 04:26 |
| baHam | Aan23433, no, when I started, I started with kde.. I changed after 10 minutes to gnome.. | 04:26 |
| Aan23433 | wow.. | 04:27 |
| ushooz | enjoy KDE | 04:27 |
| Aan23433 | I perseonally like gnome...feels more robust.. more minimalist... | 04:27 |
| TheMuso | Ubuntu may not have much now, but give it a release or two and it will be up with the top distros in terms of configurability. | 04:27 |
| baHam | I personaly prefer the tty | 04:27 |
| Aan23433 | BUT, KDE feels more like Windows interface. | 04:27 |

| iminj | Hi, I'm a NOOB. I just installed 4.1. My sound card (soundblaster 16) isn't recognized. Is there a utility in ubuntu to help it find the card, and configure it? | 04:28 |
| TheMuso | Would that be an ISA card iminj? | 04:29 |
| Aan23433 | sound blaster 16...hmm... classic.. | 04:29 |
| iminj | yes, ISA | 04:29 |
| TheMuso | iminj: Would you happen to know whether it is an ISA plug and play card by any chance? | 04:29 |
| baHam | nobody from virginia ? | 04:30 |
| iminj | it was plug and play in windows ... so, yes ( i guess) | 04:30 |
| asdf_46 | baHam: sorry, NM here. :) | 04:30 |
| Aan23433 | iminj, why are you using SB 16 on your computer? | 04:30 |
| iminj | OLD PC | 04:30 |
| baHam | asdf_46, hm ?? | 04:30 |
| Aan23433 | I mean....most computers nowadays post 1998 came with onboard sound... | 04:30 |
| paulproteus | SB 16 is a perfectly respectable card. | 04:30 |
| asdf_46 | baHam: ? | 04:31 |
| TheMuso | I agree. | 04:31 |
| Aan23433 | OR, you could just get a supported PCI card for like 10$. | 04:31 |
| iminj | this is an early 98 PC (dell) with separate sound card, nothing on mobo | 04:31 |
| baHam | asdf_46, I didnt understand what you mean with "sorry, NM here. :)" | 04:31 |
| asdf_46 | baHam: New Mexico | 04:31 |
| baHam | asdf_46, cool | 04:31 |
| paulproteus | iminj: Try: | 04:31 |
| paulproteus | sudo modprobe sb | 04:31 |
| ushooz | ukasz, taht work out for ya. XF86Config change? | 04:31 |
| Aan23433 | iminj, in the past, I had good experience with downloading/installing "sndconfig" and using that to detect and configure sound cards.. | 04:32 |
| paulproteus | That should (temporarily) load the driver. | 04:32 |
| TheMuso | paulproteus: That is OSS. Better to use ALSA IMO. | 04:32 |
| paulproteus | TheMuso: Oops, you're right. | 04:32 |
| Aan23433 | but sound card must be supported by the kernel a la loadable modules.. | 04:32 |
| ukasz | ushooz, dunno, I need to reboot X first :P | 04:32 |
| TheMuso | Aan23433: And sndconfig is OSS only AFAIK. | 04:32 |
| baHam | I have a soundcard built by a farmer.. So to run it, I use both, ALSA and OSS | 04:32 |

| Aan23433 | anyone here who has switched to OSX? | 04:34 |
| TheMuso | asdf_46: MP3 support is not in the default install. Get gstreamer0.8-mad from universe. | 04:34 |
| ushooz | Aan23433, I have two Macs | 04:34 |
| asdf_46 | It isn't in restricted? | 04:34 |
| Aan23433 | ushooz, running OSX? | 04:35 |
| TheMuso | asdf_46: No/ | 04:35 |

| ushooz | I can walk to that machine in a second or open the lid on my other laptop | 04:35 |

| ushooz | Aan23433, what do ya need? :) | 04:35 |
| TheMuso | already | 04:35 |
| baHam | right | 04:35 |
| Aan23433 | ushooz, just some comparison between linux vs. osx.. | 04:35 |
| asdf_46 | I didn't enable it, the updates for it are too slow in dialup. :( | 04:36 |
| baHam | asdf_46, just do that.. or get xmms | 04:36 |
| Aan23433 | I want the stability of *nix + fancy eye candies... tightly integrated and optimized. | 04:36 |
| baHam | asdf_46, I, personally prefer xmms | 04:36 |

| asdf_46 | yup | 04:37 |
| ushooz | Aan23433, If you can afford it I reco it | 04:37 |
| baHam | asdf_46, just get that package | 04:37 |
| Aan23433 | So you can techinically run all the open source stuff on OSX? | 04:37 |
| iioshius | Question: do I remember correctly that Ubuntu can't read NTFS partitions out of the box? What do I need to install to make this happen? | 04:37 |
| djempak | yeah, you can use xine in RhythmBox also IIRC | 04:37 |
| baHam | asdf_46, just download the .deb from the web and dpkg it.. | 04:37 |
| ukasz | ushooz, that didn't help. xrandr still shows I have "1024x768" | 04:37 |
| ushooz | Aan23433, more or less. | 04:38 |

| Rene_S | or else you can go to ultra funky and dl all the kdelibs and use kaffeine, i use that for movies instead of Totem | 04:38 |
| Aan23433 | asdf_46, I recommend just sticking with apt-get... you might spend more time trying to get all the needed packages (due to dependency stuff). | 04:38 |

| Rene_S | works for music too | 04:38 |

| asdf_46 | I don't see it, shouldn't it br in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gstreamer/ ? | 04:39 |

| cothrun | I should clarify, Windows is already on there... | 05:36 |
| gelfling | I have a /boot / and swap with /boot as the first and flagged bootable. All went very well for me and the ubuntu install found windows and added it to grub for me | 05:37 |

| TheMuso | Something tells me that it wasn't. | 05:38 |
| icu | it was a bitch finding that out | 05:38 |
| TheMuso | Maybe for a future release, is an ISA bus is detected, that parameter should be added. | 05:38 |
| gelfling | cothrun: i know there was a bug with grub writing to the mbr regardless of what you asked for on like sounder 7 or earlier but i think thats been fixed | 05:39 |

| int2004 | im trying linux seriously for the first time in 4 years, and im choosing ubuntu as the test distro, im wondering if anyone can tour on using the live version for hardware diagnostics | 05:57 |
| Lathiat | jdub: huzzah, sweet, thanks :) didn't know it existed :) | 05:58 |
| int2004 | take into consideration that my last experience with linux was 4 years ago with corel linux (i think it was debian but not sure, was very very graphical...) | 05:59 |
| Lathiat | haha i started with corel linux in 2001 | 05:59 |
| Lathiat | not for very long | 05:59 |
| meff | when hoary opens up, will it be getting security updates at near the same time as warty? | 05:59 |
| Lathiat | i found my way through redhat to debain in like 2 months :P | 05:59 |

| paulproteus | gelfling: What card? | 06:01 |
| bronson | I love that the installer automatically picks up the wifi card and installs over it. | 06:01 |
| bronson | That used to be such a chore. | 06:01 |
| tomas99 | thanks, it worked | 06:02 |
| gelfling | netgear WG511T | 06:02 |
| int2004 | I was trying to lear linux seen what the future will be like, and it came free with -cant remember" mag on that time, later i downloaded the 1.2, but ended testing a Solaris 8 for x86 and linux was simple left behind... | 06:02 |
| meff | solaris for x86 is a joke | 06:03 |
| aitrus | slowaris | 06:03 |
| int2004 | now i feel that its time i catch up on linux, and after seen live distros, Im seriously considering using them for hardware diagnostics on windows Pcs :p | 06:03 |
| Lathiat | meff: heh | 06:03 |
| Lathiat | it really does suck | 06:03 |

| int2004 | totally right.. it sucked BIG time, terrible GUI, iincredible slow, they only good part the one i used had was the FREE Oracle 8 licence we get on that moment :) | 06:04 |
| cothrun | hey thanks gelfling and all, this was a very nice install, I'm up and running in X | 06:04 |
| gelfling | Lathiat: well it comes up in iwconfig, BUT i dont have any wifi networks to connect to at work | 06:04 |
| Lathiat | gelfling: yeh the one i tried woudltn detect it at all | 06:05 |
| gelfling | WOHOO! glad to hear it cothrun :) | 06:05 |
| int2004 | but business throw me into windows realm for 3 years... and after several worm-virus-XP problems im trying to find my way out to linux :D | 06:05 |
| int2004 | back to the point, is there any app on linux (ubunto 4.10...) that i can use to fully diagnose a PC? | 06:06 |
| gelfling | Lathiat: I got lucky I guess, I didn't check to see if it was supported in linux, is an atheros card (i think, I could be getting 2 different things confused here) | 06:07 |
| meff | int2004: look into www.sysresccd.org | 06:07 |
| int2004 | ty!, will check it! | 06:07 |
| meff | int2004: it has many diagnostic tools and recovery thingies | 06:08 |
| gelfling | Lathiat: what was the card you tried? was it a netgear aswell? | 06:08 |
| Lathiat | gelfling: yeh neatgear something | 06:09 |
| Lathiat | my normal orinoco is fine | 06:09 |
| Lathiat | just i didnt have it with me one time and tried someone elses | 06:09 |
| cothrun | hmm, didn't detect wireless, but from what I've read about this laptop it doesn't surprise me | 06:09 |
| gelfling | only thing I dont like abou the card is no port for pigtail | 06:09 |
| meff | int2004: as far as diagnostics it dont get much better than sysresccd.. ubuntu live is (iirc) just a live desktop, its not focused on diagnostics.. | 06:09 |
| Lathiat | cothrun: You probably have one of the unusual chipsets | 06:09 |
| Lathiat | gelfling: heh yeh | 06:09 |
| bronson | What's the default root password during an install? | 06:10 |
| Lathiat | cothrun: miht be able to get it oging with one of the external drivers | 06:10 |
| bronson | My computer crashed and now I need to run "apt-get install -a" | 06:10 |
| int2004 | thats what I wanted to clarify | 06:10 |
| bronson | But I don't know how to log in as root! | 06:10 |
| Lathiat | There is no root password | 06:10 |
| int2004 | and i think sysresccd will worht a try :) | 06:10 |

| Lathiat | bronson: know how to do all that? | 06:13 |
| fabbione | KeyserSoze: can you send mdz a copy or something? | 06:13 |
| Lathiat | i assumed your a bit of a technical person there | 06:13 |
| Lathiat | probably a bad assumption around here :) | 06:14 |

| KeyserSoze | Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28) | 06:14 |

| KeyserSoze | Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode) | 06:14 |
| bronson | The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is why I can't log in as root during the install! | 06:14 |
| Lathiat | bronson: but none of the actual installing | 06:14 |
| fabbione | mdz: i am not 100% sure... | 06:14 |
| KeyserSoze | thats what comes with the oracle installer | 06:14 |
| fabbione | mdz: there were some oracle versions that you could download for free (at least sometime ago) | 06:14 |
| KeyserSoze | there is a free one you can download and test | 06:15 |
| mdz | looks like the Sun JVM | 06:15 |
| fabbione | KeyserSoze: url? | 06:15 |
| KeyserSoze | yeah it is | 06:15 |
| bronson | Is there any reason Ubuntu prevents me from logging in as root during the install? | 06:16 |
| mdz | KeyserSoze: do you get the error if you run simple java programs, or only from oracle? | 06:16 |
| bronson | That seems very arbitrary to me. | 06:16 |
| KeyserSoze | haven't tried anything else | 06:16 |
| KeyserSoze | don't have anything else with me | 06:17 |
| mdz | KeyserSoze: try hello world, and work up from there | 06:17 |
| bob2 | bronson: ubuntu doesn't have a password on the root account by default | 06:17 |
| bob2 | bronson: this is all in the FAQ; use sudo in your normal account instead. | 06:17 |
| bronson | bob2: I understand that. | 06:17 |
| KeyserSoze | but if you look up that error on usenet or google you'll see a bunch of people get it with alot of stuff... not just oracle install | 06:17 |
| bob2 | bronson: if you insist on setting a password, "sudo passwd". | 06:17 |
| mdz | KeyserSoze: I didn't think Oracle had a Linux/amd64 product; is this the Linux/i386 version? | 06:17 |
| bronson | bob2: I just don't understand why. | 06:17 |
| KeyserSoze | they do have a amd64 | 06:17 |
| bronson | (during the install) | 06:17 |
| mdz | bronson: there's nothing specific to the install | 06:18 |
| mdz | bronson: you can't login as root because no root password is set | 06:18 |

Is there a way I can do this aside from using the xmms-itouch plugin, or is that the best way for me to do it? | 06:31 |

| Amroc | im not sure what it was, all i know is that both those said fatal error on start up... and it didnt want to work bronson | 06:47 |
| witigonen | TheMuso, I have: card0, cards, devices, modules, nForce2, oss, pcm, seq, timers and version. | 06:47 |
| Amroc | lamont, you mean it will sense my net card this time? | 06:47 |
| lamont | should | 06:47 |
| bronson | Amroc: so it died immediately after printing those? | 06:47 |
| bronson | If so, then yeah, that's bad. | 06:47 |
| TheMuso | Ok I know what is going on here, and it is REALLY messy. I am even thinkin go lodging a bug about it. | 06:47 |
| bronson | My machine prints those 2 messages and then finishes booting fine. | 06:48 |
| witigonen | Really... Well, I'm ready to get gritty. | 06:48 |
| bronson | That's right after it says "Configuring Hotplug" right? | 06:48 |
| TheMuso | When hotplug sees your USB device, for some weird reason, it loads the OSS audio driver, before the snd-usb-audio driver gets loaded. | 06:48 |
| witigonen | I see. | 06:48 |
| Amroc | bronson, it got into the desktop, there was a 1inch by 1 inch grey fuzzy box like on a broken tv, and after like 2 minutes it would SLOW down to like .02 fps (updating every like 10 seconds) | 06:48 |
| TheMuso | What I would suggest you do, is add audio to your /etc/hotplug/blacklist file, and whenever you boot up, your USB sound/mic or whatever it is will be controlled by ALSA. | 06:49 |
| witigonen | TheMuso, that sounds very nice. | 06:49 |
| lamont | Amroc: actually, would be interested in seeing if my new liveCD image boots and detects your network card.. | 06:49 |
| bronson | Amroc: no visible desktop right? Just a gray rectangle? | 06:49 |
| lamont | otoh, would need to do that tomorrow. | 06:49 |
| Amroc | its hard to explain, its in the boot up process where it messed up, i had a desk top, but it had a 1x1 gry rectange on it just to the right of the center of the screen | 06:49 |
| witigonen | TheMuso, so just throw in 'audio' somewhere in the blacklist file? | 06:49 |
| === lamont hopes to have warty-rc2-live-i386.iso available in about 10 hours or so. | ||
| fabbione | KeyserSoze: any luck? | 06:50 |
| bronson | Amroc: this is well before X tries to launch? | 06:50 |
| TheMuso | witigonen: At the end would be best I think. | 06:50 |
| witigonen | TheMuso, Thank you. | 06:50 |
| TheMuso | Then what I also suggest, is to rmmod audio, and modprobe snd-usb-audio | 06:50 |
| TheMuso | This will bring the device under ALSA control immediately. | 06:50 |
| Amroc | bronson, you know how it does the gry text on a black screen load up? then goes into log in screen, its in the gry text part. i can log in just fine, and then it messes up | 06:51 |

| lamont | bronson: he's also running a very old, pretty raw livecd | 06:51 |
| witigonen | The module is in use, what's the best way to fix that? | 06:51 |
| lamont | witigonen: kill the app that's using it? | 06:51 |
| bronson | Hm. Any idea of whether it's X screwing up or not? | 06:51 |
| TheMuso | witigonen: Type lsmod | grep audio and let me know what you get. | 06:51 |
| Amroc | lamont, this is from the purple disk that you gave me and eric | 06:51 |
| xskoulax | how can i view running services i can't see anything with top or system monitor? | 06:51 |
| Amroc | lamont, the one from last week | 06:51 |
| lamont | Amroc: was that install or liveCD? | 06:51 |
| Amroc | lamont, install | 06:51 |
| lamont | ah, that's RC | 06:52 |
| TheMuso | lamont: There is also a chance that another module needs it, but I doubt it. | 06:52 |
| Amroc | lamont, and why wernt you at jujistu tonight? we did katas | 06:52 |
| TheMuso | witigonen: Try lamont's suggestion first. | 06:52 |
| lamont | also a bit old - could be just bad burn. | 06:52 |
| lamont | Amroc: stuck in some fire training that I must makeup before month end | 06:52 |
| bronson | Amroc: maybe you could try hitting F7 (I think -- it's one of those Fs) at the first boot prompt and turning off the console. | 06:52 |
| witigonen | TheMuso, lamont, XMMS was the only thing I can think of that was using it, and it is gone now. | 06:52 |
| lamont | was hoping they'd lecture _first_, and I could leave when they got to skills. they went the other direction | 06:52 |
| bronson | That might help. The kernel console code is still flaky -- I had to turn it off today to get my install to finish. | 06:52 |
| TheMuso | witigonen: Ok try and unload the audio module. | 06:52 |
| bronson | Sorry, s/console/framebuffer/ | 06:53 |
| Amroc | lamont, ill be the live cd guinea pig | 06:53 |
| witigonen | Same thing. | 06:53 |
| lamont | Amroc: cool | 06:53 |
| Chriffer | What is this about live CDs you are talking about? | 06:54 |
| TheMuso | witigonen: Hmmm. Ok try and do what I said earlier, and tell me what you get... lsmod | grep audio. You will get a few modules listed, but at least we can try and find out what is using your module. | 06:54 |
| witigonen | TheMuso, check your query window. | 06:54 |
| bronson | Amroc: I just looked it up. | 06:56 |
| bronson | Amroc: at boot, hit F7. | 06:56 |
| === lamont points Amroc at the other window... | ||
| bronson | Type "linux debian-installer/framebuffer=false" to boot. | 06:56 |
| bronson | That turns off the framebuffer. | 06:56 |
| Amroc | Ohmer, for now, i say screw it, im glad to have a comp back after a week | 06:57 |
| bronson | At the very least, that should change whatever failure you're seeing. If not, then it's got to be X related. | 06:57 |

| bronson | Amroc: it's hard to tell, but from your description the problem sounds display related. | 07:01 |

| TheMuso | _ian: I certainly wouldn't say that it certainly is, but there is a possibility that it is. If you have Knoppix handy, it has a tool on it called qtpartd that is supposedly able to fix up partition tables. | 08:03 |
| _ian | I don't, but I think I have a Gnoppix CD | 08:04 |

| TheMuso | _ian: I have never used parted myself, only partition magic. I know that works. | 08:05 |
| KazeNoBokusha | i like that ubuntu is debian, and that it has evolution 2.0 and most likely spamassassin 3, as well as firefox 1.0PR. but is it as stable as debian? i'm currently using testing (sarge) and haven't had stability problems yet, except sometimes it randomly crashes (that sounds kinda weird, but what i mean is that it rarely ever happens, but when it does, it's extremely annoying) | 08:05 |

| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: That sounds more like hardware than anything else to me | 08:11 |

| Brooman | _ian: yes | 08:12 |
| pepsi_ | install it again | 08:12 |
| KazeNoBokusha | well, instead of a hardware problem it could be some experimental kernel option like nforce support of some kind that's doing it | 08:13 |
| KazeNoBokusha | but who knows | 08:13 |
| KazeNoBokusha | anyway, thanks | 08:13 |
| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: What kernel version are you running? | 08:13 |
| KazeNoBokusha | 2.6.8 | 08:14 |
| pepsi_ | my system was horribly unstable until i disabled acpi | 08:14 |
| Brooman | why is gcc 3.3 base and gcc 3.4 base installed? is this necessary? | 08:14 |
| KazeNoBokusha | i have everything i would ever need either compiled in or as a module, and everything else left out | 08:14 |
| pepsi_ | i have both installed myself | 08:14 |
| KazeNoBokusha | yeah acpi could be it | 08:14 |
| KazeNoBokusha | i could try to completely disable it | 08:14 |
| TheMuso | Brooman: Have you installed build-essential installed? | 08:15 |
| KazeNoBokusha | but that might cause problems too...no ability for the monitor to sleep, or is that a DPMS thing? | 08:15 |
| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: APM can handle that, but the DPMS is responsible for the monitor AFAIK | 08:15 |
| Brooman | TheMuso: no..doesn't appear to be. should i install it? | 08:16 |
| KazeNoBokusha | well i don't really need apm or acpi on a desktop if dpms is seperate and takes care of the monitor | 08:16 |
| TheMuso | Brooman: Yes. That should give you gcc the command | 08:16 |
| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: I think DPMS still needs some sort of PM, not sure though. | 08:16 |
| pepsi_ | i dont have apm or acpi enabled | 08:17 |
| pepsi_ | and my monitor goes to sleep | 08:17 |
| KazeNoBokusha | hmm, well i suppose it doesn't really matter | 08:17 |
| === Mitario is now known as Mit|zzz | ||
| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: According to what pepsi_ said above, it will be fine without either. | 08:17 |
| KazeNoBokusha | also, when i install linux, it loads a kernel from the cd for use, and loads everything as modules. when i go back and recompile a lot of things built in, it still tries to load the modules. how do i fix this? | 08:18 |
| pepsi_ | move the moduels out of the way | 08:18 |
| KazeNoBokusha | i do, i've been installing the kernel the `debian way' with make-kpkg | 08:18 |
| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: It is better however to leave some things as modules IMO. ALSA in particular is better as modules. | 08:18 |
| KazeNoBokusha | alsa? really? | 08:19 |
| KazeNoBokusha | well, other things have issues too, it's not just that | 08:19 |
| TheMuso | Yes. It also means that your kernel doesn't take as long to load. | 08:19 |
| KazeNoBokusha | i can't recall which, it scrolls by so fast and i can't go back and read it | 08:19 |
| Brooman | recompiling the kernel to suit my hardware is not going to hurt anything is it? | 08:20 |
| KazeNoBokusha | speaking of loading, why even with everything as modules does linux take so long to load compared to XP? | 08:20 |
| KazeNoBokusha | Brooman, hasn't hurt me, just helped | 08:20 |
| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: Hotplug is one of the bigger culprits | 08:20 |
| KazeNoBokusha | ah | 08:20 |
| TheMuso | culprets | 08:21 |
| KazeNoBokusha | windows has an equivalent though, and it takes less time anyway | 08:21 |
| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: Yeah I know. Hotplug always takes ages on any distro that I have ever used. | 08:21 |
| Brooman | KazeNoBokusha: is there anything that must be in the kernel for the system to work? | 08:21 |
| TheMuso | Brooman: Hard drive support for a start. | 08:22 |

| KazeNoBokusha | Brooman, if you can make it a module, it's not usually required, but if you're unsure about a specific option, ask | 08:22 |
| TheMuso | Brooman: And filesystems | 08:22 |
| pepsi_ | read the info in each config option before deciding | 08:22 |
| KazeNoBokusha | only the filesystems you'll actually use | 08:22 |
| TheMuso | Brooman: I suggest you use a base config from an existing kernel on your system. | 08:22 |
| Brooman | ok | 08:22 |
| KazeNoBokusha | so if linux and windows both have a hotplug type thing, why does linux still take longer? | 08:23 |
| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: You will have to ask the devs about that one. | 08:23 |

| KazeNoBokusha | so now that ubuntu is not a preview, but a final version (4.1.0 already?), i imagine it has most major bugs ironed out, and is comparable to other distros? or would you say it still needs some work before it's at the level that other distros are at? | 08:24 |

| === iz [~iz@81.171.17.44] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| oddabe19 | I think that ubuntu is great in functunality, considering, for me at least, everything worked the moment i booted it the first time | 08:26 |
| oddabe19 | which is something i don't get from any other distro | 08:26 |
| oddabe19 | but that was me | 08:26 |
| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: For a start, laptop support is quite good out of the box, in terms of monitoring battery, wireless if one has it, speedstep for the CPU, etc. | 08:26 |
| KazeNoBokusha | ok, sounds good, but i have a desktop so that's unnecessary. will it run needless programs in the background trying to monitor the battery and whatnot? | 08:27 |
| TheMuso | Removable devices such as USB flash drives are automatically mounted and come up in GNOME when connected. | 08:27 |
| oddabe19 | no | 08:27 |
| KazeNoBokusha | hmm, even if those devices weren't connected at install time? | 08:28 |
| TheMuso | Yes. | 08:28 |
| KazeNoBokusha | for debian, i had to have them in at install so they'd be entered into fstab | 08:28 |
| TheMuso | It also should take care of USB hard drives. | 08:28 |
| KazeNoBokusha | how's it put it in fstab? | 08:28 |
| KazeNoBokusha | automatically? | 08:28 |
| Despair | probably isn't, just shows up in /etc/mtab | 08:28 |
| KazeNoBokusha | mtab? | 08:28 |
| KazeNoBokusha | what's that? i've seen it in /etc | 08:29 |
| KazeNoBokusha | looks similar | 08:29 |
| KazeNoBokusha | to fstab | 08:29 |
| TheMuso | No fstab entries are created, as the device is mounted only while it is plugged in. And as far as I am ware, you can unplug the device without actually having to unmount it. | 08:29 |
| Despair | stuff that's mounted. even if it's not preconfigured | 08:29 |
| KazeNoBokusha | oh OK | 08:29 |
| KazeNoBokusha | that sounds cool | 08:29 |
| KazeNoBokusha | wish debian did that | 08:29 |
| KazeNoBokusha | how about firewire drives? formatted on a mac as a dos drive? | 08:30 |
| Despair | it can, they just don't automatically do it, because it works extremely badly on some drives. | 08:30 |
| bronson | Why did Ubuntu go with firefox? I find I like Epiphany to be more polished and better integrated. | 08:30 |
| pepsi_ | TheMuso, id be wary about unplugging it before unmounting it, no? | 08:30 |
| KazeNoBokusha | bronson, plugins? | 08:30 |
| bronson | Just wondering if this is a Ubuntu-specific decision, or a general Gnome direction... | 08:30 |
| KazeNoBokusha | bronson, yes it is more integrated though | 08:30 |
| KazeNoBokusha | but firefox is more popular | 08:30 |
| TheMuso | From what jdub said at a demonstration at my local LUG, they use the sync option when mounting, so that there is no cached data when the device is read from or written to. | 08:30 |
| bronson | KazeNoBokusha: Epiphany runs all Moz plugins doesn't it? | 08:31 |
| KazeNoBokusha | bronson, debian sarge's gnome package has it this way too | 08:31 |
| KazeNoBokusha | bronson, i know some plugins are specific to specific implementations of mozilla, even different versions of the same implementation | 08:31 |
| pepsi_ | TheMuso, maybe thats why my ipod is so slow | 08:31 |
| bronson | Well, true. | 08:31 |
| KazeNoBokusha | like some plugin only works for firefox .8 and up | 08:31 |
| bronson | Moz suffers from DLL hell. | 08:31 |
| KazeNoBokusha | dll? | 08:32 |
| TheMuso | pepsi_: That is probably why. | 08:32 |

| pepsi_ | im going to try putting it in fstab | 08:34 |

| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: There are also several libraries and GUIs being developed for GNOME. A library called libburn is under development. | 08:46 |
| KazeNoBokusha | what's libburn, and what uses it? | 08:46 |
| vegai | excellent | 08:46 |
| joem | coaster will use it eventually | 08:47 |
| karat | does ubuntu setup software channel mixing automatically? | 08:47 |
| Brooman | Does anyone have flash working in firefox? | 08:47 |
| joem | there is a small app called optimystic that uses it iirc | 08:47 |
| KazeNoBokusha | bur[n] er, no eroast found in debian sarge package list | 08:47 |
| bur[n] er | you should prolly try eroaster | 08:47 |
| KazeNoBokusha | Brooman, yes, but not on ubuntu | 08:47 |
| lhb | Brooman: yes | 08:47 |
| Brooman | lhb: what package do i need? | 08:48 |
| KazeNoBokusha | it's available through debian sarge contrib or maybe non-free | 08:48 |
| calc | coaster looks decent, but i'm not sure its gui is actually going to be easy to use | 08:48 |
| lhb | Brooman: hold on a sec | 08:48 |
| KazeNoBokusha | bur[n] er, it doesn't find it, i said | 08:48 |
| Brooman | KazeNoBokusha: how do I access those repositories? | 08:48 |
| Brooman | KazeNoBokusha: im new to this ubuntu/debian thing | 08:48 |
| KazeNoBokusha | Brooman, it's called universe on ubuntu, i hear | 08:48 |
| joem | calc, yea some of the screenshots look odd | 08:48 |
| KazeNoBokusha | it's not supported | 08:48 |
| KazeNoBokusha | but you can do it | 08:49 |
| bur[n] er | i'm using debian... eroaster is there... eroast is not | 08:49 |
| KazeNoBokusha | Brooman, one second i'll find it for you | 08:49 |
| TheMuso | KazeNoBokusha: Try gtoaster | 08:49 |
| Brooman | KazeNoBokusha: i appreciate it | 08:49 |
| KazeNoBokusha | TheMuso, can't, it needs scsi emu | 08:49 |
| TheMuso | Ah! | 08:49 |
| calc | http://www.coaster-burn.org/coaster-gui/screenshots.html <- for anyone who wants to see it | 08:49 |
| bur[n] er | isn't coaster not being developed anymore? | 08:50 |
| TheMuso | Optimistic screenshots look good IMO. | 08:50 |
| joem | there should be some form of a release within the next week or so | 08:50 |

| joem | bur[n] er, no it is | 08:50 |
| KazeNoBokusha | Brooman, download this package somewhere and then install it | 08:50 |
| KazeNoBokusha | http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_7.0.25-5_i386.deb | 08:50 |
| lhb | Brooman: you need to enable universe in the apt sources.list | 08:50 |
| calc | gnometoaster seemed to have the right idea, but needs work (and also appears to be dead?) | 08:51 |
| bur[n] er | seems there hasn't been any coaster activity in ages though | 08:51 |
| joem | libburn development was holding it back for a while, so it is using nautilus burn until libburn is useable | 08:51 |
| joem | bur[n] er, there has, just no releases | 08:51 |
| lhb | Brooman: then apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 08:51 |
| karat | uh | 08:51 |
| KazeNoBokusha | bur[n] er, you're on debian sarge? | 08:51 |
| lhb | Brooman: that did it for me | 08:51 |
| karat | i just installed ubuntu, but my touchpad doesnt work | 08:51 |
| bur[n] er | KazeNoBokusha: unstable | 08:52 |
| bronson | What's the best way to recompile the kernel under Ubuntu? | 08:52 |
| bronson | I need to install the Orinoco monitor patch. | 08:52 |
| KazeNoBokusha | lhb, but then he could accidentally get something from debian sid which is not compatible with ubuntu | 08:52 |
| KazeNoBokusha | bur[n] er, that explains it, eroaster is only in stable and unstable, not testing | 08:53 |
| lhb | KazeNoBokusha: i wouldnt know, works fine here though | 08:53 |
| jdub | bronson: make sure multiverse is enabled in sources.list and apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 08:53 |
| TheMuso | bronson: You can do it the Debian way if you know that. | 08:53 |
| KazeNoBokusha | which is weird to say the least | 08:53 |
| bronson | TheMuso: I do, but I find that it's more trouble than it's worth. | 08:53 |
| Brooman | lhb: good deal..thanks :) | 08:53 |
| KazeNoBokusha | jdub, check your tab completion | 08:53 |
| lhb | isnt everything in universe already ubuntu compatible? | 08:54 |
| bronson | jdub: ? | 08:54 |
| bronson | Oh, that was for lhb. | 08:54 |
| KazeNoBokusha | bronson, join #debian and type !kp | 08:54 |
| KazeNoBokusha | bronson, it will give full info | 08:54 |
| bronson | KazeNoBokusha: you swear that won't get me in trouble? :) | 08:54 |
| KazeNoBokusha | lhb, but it could provide a different version of the same software | 08:54 |

| KazeNoBokusha | by default, is ubuntu oss or alsa? | 08:57 |
| bronson | KazeNoBokusha: So you like kpkg better than make install? (personal opinion) | 08:57 |
| KazeNoBokusha | i know debian is oss :( | 08:57 |
| avar | guys, whats with those models in ubuntu? | 08:57 |
| KazeNoBokusha | bronson, yes, because it's one click to get rid of old kernels | 08:57 |
| karat | Is the 2.6.9 kernel available for ubuntu | 08:57 |

| Treenaks | vegai: it does, if you install libgstreamer0.8-mad | 09:02 |
| vegai | cheers | 09:02 |
| Treenaks | (maybe it's gstreamer0.8-mad) | 09:02 |
| vegai | gstreamer0.8-misc seems to have it | 09:02 |
| Treenaks | the FAQ should really be updated, I keep seeing the same questions over and over | 09:02 |
| karat | TheMuso: It's a toshiba a75, brand new. The touchpad requires a patch that was brought in on 2.6.9 | 09:02 |
| vegai | oh, it doesn't | 09:02 |
| Treenaks | vegai: gstreamer0.8-plugins installs all of them | 09:02 |
| Treenaks | vegai: so you can watch/listen a few other formats as well | 09:03 |
| TheMuso | karat: Well in that case you are out of luck unless they upgrade the kernel to 2.6.9, or you build it yourself. | 09:03 |
| vegai | that's in universe, too? | 09:03 |
| karat | argh crap | 09:03 |
| karat | theres no experimental support? | 09:03 |
| topyli | when someone tries to listen to mp3s, we should by default convert them to oggs and then play them :) | 09:03 |
| TheMuso | topyli: Then they sound crap. | 09:03 |
| TheMuso | karat: You could try and run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86. | 09:04 |
| topyli | TheMuso: that's what you get when you mess with mp3s, there would be a "lesson" | 09:04 |

| witigonen | I come from a RedHat background, so I apologize for this question, but how can I install a .deb package? | 09:45 |
| dyn | (*sigh*, i still feel my paranoid sysadm past ;) | 09:45 |
| Gladiak | apt-get | 09:45 |
| Gladiak | man apt-get | 09:45 |
| jdub | witigonen: most of what you need should be installable from the repositories | 09:45 |
| dyn | witigonen: dpkg -i file.deb if you got it locally | 09:45 |
| mrjive | hi * | 09:45 |
| dyn | witigonen: or apt-get install packagename, if you dont | 09:46 |
| Gladiak | ok what dyn said | 09:46 |
| jdub | witigonen: do you ahve a separate .deb package? what is it? | 09:46 |
| Brooman | dyn: lol..i'll do that then | 09:46 |
| TheMuso | KiwiFireGuy: What kernel are you running? | 09:46 |
| witigonen | I'm trying to install a .deb package for xmms, and it can't find it. So.. | 09:46 |
| KiwiFireGuy | Default Ubuntu RC1 | 09:46 |
| TheMuso | witigonen: xmms is in the main repository. | 09:46 |
| dyn | witigonen: apt-get is your friend then. and make sure you got /etc/apt/sources.list set up | 09:46 |
| TheMuso | KiwiFireGuy: Have you tried updating your system to see if that helps? | 09:46 |
| TheMuso | KiwiFireGuy: As the final release is out. | 09:47 |
| witigonen | TheMuso, Yes, I got it and it works great, I'm just trying to install a specific plugin for it (xmms-status-plugin) | 09:47 |
| jdub | witigonen: you only need to type 'apt-get install xmms' | 09:47 |
| KiwiFireGuy | TheMuso: No, I should then? | 09:47 |
| jdub | witigonen: that's in universe | 09:47 |

| witigonen | jdub, then I must not have my apt sources configured properly, thanks for letting me know. | 09:47 |
| TheMuso | Yeah. Run synaptec if you feel more comfortable with a GUI, and update the system first. The sound problem may be fixed in newer versions. | 09:47 |
| TheMuso | Exactly how to use synaptec I am unsure about, as I have never had to use it. I always type the commands at the command-line, but someone else in here is sure to help you with that. | 09:48 |

| Treenaks | redLAW: is there a linux driver available from the intel site? | 09:49 |
| witigonen | ...how very bizarre... I enabled universe, then updated, then did 'sudo apt-get install xmms*' and it gave me the error that it couldn't find the package xmms-status-plugin-etc. | 09:49 |
| witigonen | There we go, specified the full package name. | 09:50 |
| redLAW | i think it is becuase this is debian | 09:50 |
| redLAW | is gprs connection supported on ubuntu | 09:51 |
| KiwiFireGuy | TheMuso: Synaptic tells me there are no upgrades (I assume this means RC1 became the release version unaltered?) | 09:52 |
| Treenaks | redLAW: most likely, yes | 09:52 |

| TheMuso | KiwiFireGuy: I don't know about the release stuff. One of the devs could probably confirm that. When did you install? | 09:54 |
| TheMuso | KiwiFireGuy: And did you download software off the net during the install, or from the CD? | 09:55 |

| mrjive | jdub: not alsa? | 09:58 |
| dyn | jdub: aint a better approach to configure alsa doing software mixing? | 09:58 |
| _Hiro_ | anybody know how I'd load i2o at boot instead of dpt_i2o ? | 09:58 |
| Treenaks | redLAW: that lets you configure a PPP link (look on google, there's a special "phone number" to use for using GPRS) | 09:58 |
| dyn | i'd vote against using esd, arts or any other 3rd party software mixer thing | 09:58 |
| crimsun | alsa-lib's dmix is lower level than esd or arts, so that's what I would choose | 09:59 |
| _Hiro_ | I checked with make oldconfig and apparantly dpt_i2o is created as module, so it has to be possible somehow :/ | 09:59 |
| redLAW | yes it is *99***# | 09:59 |
| redLAW | on cell provider | 09:59 |
| Treenaks | redLAW: well, you enter that as the phone no., username, password, etc. | 09:59 |
| Treenaks | redLAW: in pppconfig, and then it's done | 09:59 |

| Juerd_ | torpor: No, an intel box | 10:52 |
| dyn | Ubuntu-Linux: can i ask you to stop behaving that childish? | 10:53 |
| Juerd_ | torpor: Here's the apt-get quick introduction: "apt-cache search foo" searches for foo | 10:53 |
| Juerd_ | torpor: "apt-get install foo" installs foo, "apt-get update" updates the local package lists | 10:53 |
| elwood | witigonen, it works? | 10:53 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | dyn: i am asking who was helping me 5min ago | 10:53 |

| pepsi_ | just ask your question | 10:54 |
| torpor | so i've just installed Warty - do i need to 'apt-get dist-upgrade' now, or am i pretty much current? | 10:55 |
| togs | Can I ask mine again? :) | 10:55 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | who was can you pm me a log | 10:55 |
| Juerd_ | "dpkg -i foo.deb" manually installs a .deb package, "dpkg --force-all -i" is the easiest way to destroy your otherwise perfectly functioning system, so never do a --force-all. | 10:55 |
| dyn | Ubuntu-Linux: i think you (as Gmail) talked to Treenaks though | 10:55 |

| Tufek | i have a question..I use dial-up internet ,pcimodem ,is it work fine ubuntu linux or no? | 11:34 |
| bronson | Or, if someone's making menuconfig, they'll already know to do thiat... | 11:34 |
| Treenaks | Tufek: which kind f pci modem | 11:34 |
| crimsun | bronson: i would mention it, yes. | 11:34 |

| togs | what other distros were people using before moving to Ubuntu? If I can ask :) | 11:34 |

| dyn | bronson: you didn't compile too many kernels then, did you :) (no problems with that anyway) | 11:37 |
| bronson | dyn: I compiled a ton. Just not with make-kpkg. | 11:37 |
| dyn | bronson: you used make config instead? | 11:37 |
| bronson | make bzlilo. | 11:37 |
| dyn | i've never used make-kpkg either | 11:37 |
| torpor | damn... whats my root password? Does ubuntu ask me to enter one when i do an install? I can't remember if it did or not .. and the password i thought it was, isn't working ... | 11:37 |
| dyn | bronson: i mean for the config | 11:37 |
| bronson | Oh, yeah. make menuconfig. | 11:38 |
| Treenaks | torpor: read the FAQ -- ubuntu uses sudo for everything | 11:38 |
| gelfling | torpor: nope u use sudo | 11:38 |
| Treenaks | torpor: (because of security) | 11:38 |
| torpor | waaa? i can't login as root? | 11:38 |
| bronson | The new Qt config is nice, but menuconfig is just so much snappier. | 11:38 |
| crimsun | torpor: no. use sudo. | 11:38 |
| torpor | so what does this mean - i have to use my own password to sudo? | 11:38 |
| dyn | nod | 11:38 |
| crimsun | sudo <some action that would require root privs> | 11:38 |
| Treenaks | torpor: why would you want to login as root? | 11:38 |
| torpor | Treenaks: so i can do root things without having to use sudo all the damn time. | 11:39 |
| dyn | ofc nothing keeps you putting back the root to its powers :) just make sure you know what and why you're doing :) | 11:39 |

| mrjive | is it okto burn an iso image through nautilus-cd-burner? will it be bootable? i.e. does nautilus recognise it is an iso image and not simply a file? | 12:22 |
| CraHan | so does anyone have any ideas how to tell nautilus-cd-burner to use /dev/sg0 and not /dev/sr0 to burn a cd using cdrecord? | 12:22 |
| CraHan | when I use cdrecord with /dev/sg0 on the commandline it works fine | 12:22 |
| CraHan | but nautilus-cd-burner keeps trying to use /dev/sr0 | 12:22 |
| dyn | CraHan: symlink it? :) | 12:23 |
| CraHan | dyn: can't both devices are valid | 12:23 |
| CraHan | /dev/sr0 is the one I need to use to automount the cdrom | 12:24 |
| CraHan | /dev/sg0 is the one I need to burn to it | 12:24 |
| atariboy | How can i get into a text mode console. Preferably before Ubuntu boots X11/gnome | 12:24 |
| CraHan | strange I know, but I can't get it to automount using /dev/sg0 | 12:24 |
| dyn | atariboy: pass 'single' on the kernel command line | 12:24 |
| dyn | i'm not that familiar with ubuntu so far but that should boot you into runlevel 1 (single mode), where you can do your work and pass towards multiuser runlevels | 12:25 |
| CraHan | yeah when grub starts go into the menu | 12:25 |
| mrjive | atariboy: mv /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm /etc/rc2.d/K99gdm | 12:25 |
| CraHan | go to the line you want to edit | 12:25 |
| CraHan | type E | 12:25 |
| CraHan | top line you see type E again | 12:25 |
| CraHan | append single | 12:25 |
| CraHan | press enter | 12:25 |
| CraHan | and b | 12:25 |
| CraHan | and it'll boot into single user mode | 12:26 |
| CraHan | the other way is to start and then when gdm is up, press ctrl+alt+f1 | 12:26 |
| CraHan | not the same thing of course | 12:26 |
| CraHan | but it'll drop you into a console in either case :) | 12:26 |

| atariboy | sounds easier too :) how would i return from doing the mv command to booting x11 by default again? | 12:28 |
| mrjive | dyn: using a "single" mode is very different than using a non graphical start ;) | 12:28 |
| mrjive | atariboy: the invers... rename K99gd into S99gdm | 12:28 |
| atariboy | ta | 12:28 |
| mrjive | when the system starts in runlevel 2 every script starting with S is started, while those starting with K are killed | 12:29 |
| CraHan | I personally move S99blabla to s99blabla | 12:31 |
| CraHan | since the service wouldn't be running, there wouldn't be a need to kill it | 12:31 |
| CraHan | but either way works | 12:31 |
| torpor | what about just using 'telinit 3'? this won't work? | 12:31 |
| torpor | or 'telinit 2'? | 12:31 |
| mrjive | CraHan: it does not work, for example, switching from runlevel 2 to runlevel 1 .. or other | 12:31 |
| mrjive | it is more correct to use K | 12:31 |
| CraHan | mrjive: ah yes indeed | 12:32 |
| CraHan | ok so I hook up the burner, turn it on and syslog reports that sr0 and sg0 are created by udev | 12:33 |
| CraHan | all fine | 12:33 |
| dyn | torpor: telinit? | 12:33 |
| CraHan | strangely enough, gnome won't automount when I add a sg0 line to fstab | 12:33 |
| CraHan | but does automount when I use sr0 | 12:33 |
| dyn | torpor: init X would boost you into runlevel X, that's fine, but what's telinit? :) | 12:33 |
| torpor | telinit tells init to go to the runlevel you want. | 12:34 |
| torpor | so, for single-user 'text-mode', you'd use 'telinit 2' .. i think. i haven't looked at inittab. | 12:34 |
| dyn | torpor: so what's the difference between `telinit 2` and `init 2` | 12:34 |
| mrjive | torpor: right, but single user and text mode are not the same.. :) | 12:34 |
| dyn | ? | 12:34 |
| torpor | telinit 1. | 12:35 |
| torpor | well, on a properly-configured inittab, there is a run-level for 'text-mode only, no GUI'. | 12:35 |
| torpor | check /etc/inittab. | 12:35 |
| === thisfred [~thisfred@a213-84-57-72.adsl.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| torpor | dyn: telinit can be used to more gracefully change init states .. with a timeout, etc. | 12:36 |
| dyn | ok, ic | 12:36 |
| mrjive | what a bout my nautilus-cd-burner question? anyone knows? | 12:36 |
| torpor | on some systems, there is a run-level for 'text only, no GUI'. in fact, there's 2 or 3 of these kinds of 'sub-run levels'. | 12:36 |
| torpor | i forget how its set up.. check inittab. | 12:36 |
| dyn | it's distribution-dependent, and inittab describes it, correct | 12:37 |
| torpor | what i want to know is, why does 'apt-get install linux-sources-2.6' not create /usr/src/linux? it only seems to put the .bz2 in /usr/src .. am i expected to set up the symlinks and unpack the tarball myself? | 12:37 |

| rancoras | has anyone ever noticed that aisleriot doesn't resize very well, and cards are impossible to pick up if they run off the bottom of the window? | 12:39 |
| Pizbit | Also downloading can take ages, a sudden unpacking at the end would annoy some people:) | 12:39 |
| mrjive | torpor: no, apt-get won't do it for you | 12:39 |
| === lhb [lhb@kapsi.fi] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| torpor | mrjive: so i have to make /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build as well, right? | 12:39 |
| mrjive | nope | 12:39 |
| torpor | no/ | 12:40 |
| torpor | ? | 12:40 |
| mrjive | when the kernel is compiled in the debian-way, and it becomes a deb package, you install it | 12:40 |
| mrjive | and then /lib/modules... is created | 12:40 |
| mrjive | torpor: don't know if you do not use the debian way | 12:41 |
| torpor | i'm only trying to do things the 'ubuntu' way. | 12:41 |
| torpor | i need full linux source and headers, and i wouldn't mind being able to produce my own kernel and modules, either. is there a package that will set all that up for me, or do i have to install the source by hand, then the headers, etc? | 12:41 |
| crimsun | to build external modules, you generally just need the headers | 12:42 |
| crimsun | linux-headers-`uname -r` | 12:42 |
| darkersatanic | There's a package with the headers in it. | 12:42 |
| darkersatanic | As the man says. :) | 12:42 |
| darkersatanic | If you want to build kernel+modules packages from a full kernel source, then there's the "kernel-package" package, | 12:43 |
| darkersatanic | which gives you the make-kpkg command. | 12:43 |
| torpor | hmm. | 12:43 |
| torpor | very confused. | 12:44 |
| darkersatanic | That doesn't do any unpacking of kernel sources, though. | 12:44 |
| === _Hiro_ [~hiro@36-112.a2f.dsl.net4all.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| darkersatanic | Personally, I just download a tarball from kernel.org, | 12:44 |
| CraHan | I think I've found some more details about the cdburner problem in nautilus | 12:44 |
| darkersatanic | unpack it in /usr/local/src | 12:44 |
| === espyrian [~espyrian@adsl-170.cust203-87-19.sa.chariot.net.au] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| torpor | isn't there some way to get the /usr/src/linux tree set up to build the kernel that ubuntu is running, though? that sorta sucks, if not. | 12:44 |
| _Hiro_ | anybody know how to create an initrd image for ubuntu? | 12:44 |
| CraHan | when I connect the dvd burner udev created the character device /dev/sg0 and the block device /dev/sr0 | 12:44 |
| crimsun | _Hiro_: man mkinitrd | 12:45 |
| _Hiro_ | did that, doesn't work | 12:45 |
| darkersatanic | torpor: I'm not sure. I very rarely use distribution kernels. Sorry. | 12:45 |
| deFrysk | _Hiro_, with make install ? | 12:45 |
| === singha [~nn@82-168-187-249-bbxl.xdsl.tiscali.nl] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| CraHan | now cdrecord needs the character device when writing to the burner, but nautilus-cd-burner keeps sending it the block device as a parameter | 12:45 |
| crimsun | torpor: sure, that's very simple; just use kernel-package. | 12:45 |
| torpor | okay, so apt-get install kernel-package will give me a proper /usr/src/linux tree, and all i need to be able to compile modules? | 12:45 |
| CraHan | is there any way of telling nautilus-cd-burner to send cdrecord the character device and not the block device? | 12:45 |
| darkersatanic | crimsun: I think the problem is getting hold of and unpacking the relevant patched kernel sources. | 12:45 |
| darkersatanic | crimsun: As in: "how do you do it The Ubuntu Way?" | 12:45 |
| _Hiro_ | it makes a cramfs initrd, the contents seem fine but on boot it just fails on finding any module :/ | 12:45 |
| === singha [~nn@82-168-187-249-bbxl.xdsl.tiscali.nl] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| darkersatanic | torpor: No, kernel-package is the tool to build kernel packages. | 12:46 |
| _Hiro_ | do I need to do anything special? | 12:46 |

| _Hiro_ | I didn't make a custom kernel | 12:47 |
| torpor | i've installed that, but all i get is .bz2 tarball in /usr/src. no /usr/src/linux, no /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1, and my MOL module complains about headers it can't find. | 12:47 |
| deFrysk | _Hiro_, i see | 12:47 |
| crimsun | _Hiro_: afaik that patch isn't in vanilla kernels | 12:47 |
| crimsun | 'lo seb :) | 12:47 |
| _Hiro_ | ubunutu has all the modules made already | 12:47 |
| _Hiro_ | so I'm running mkinitrd on that | 12:47 |
| _Hiro_ | that should work, no? | 12:47 |
| bob2 | _Hiro_: why do you want to make a new initrd? | 12:48 |
| darkersatanic | torpor: Are you trying to build an out-of-tree module? | 12:48 |
| _Hiro_ | to load i2o_* instead of dpt_i2o | 12:48 |
| bob2 | is that really loaded from the initrd? | 12:48 |
| torpor | darkersatanic: i'm t rying to build the modules for Mac-On-Linux ... so i guess it is an out-of-tree module... | 12:48 |
| _Hiro_ | yes | 12:48 |
| _Hiro_ | else I couldn't boot :P | 12:48 |
| espyrian | i know that airport extreme is not supported in ubuntu ppc... | 12:48 |
| torpor | really, i want my ubuntu setup to be a developer/kernel hacking machine, not just a user box. | 12:48 |
| espyrian | ... so what optios are there for wireless on a powerbook? | 12:49 |
| torpor | so if there are dev-packages that i can install that will set up the /usr/src tree as well as the necessary symlinks in /usr/include, that'd be nice. | 12:49 |
| espyrian | ... eg third party cards etc | 12:49 |
| torpor | espyrian: get a 'normal' 802.11 PCMCIA card, use it until Airport Extreme is supported? | 12:49 |
| darkersatanic | torpor: TBH, I'm not sure about what the requirements for building out-of-tree modules are. I've never done it much. | 12:50 |

| torpor | what is linux-tree-2.6.8.1 and whats the difference between it and linux-suorce-2.6.8.1? | 12:52 |
| torpor | i guess i'll install it and find out. | 12:53 |
| torpor | espyrian: no suggestions, i don't know what works with ubuntu, but i'm sure you can check the FAQ. | 12:53 |

| __daniel | torpor, apt-cache show linux-tree-2.6.8.1 | 12:53 |
| __daniel | torpor, and look at the dependencies | 12:53 |
| _Hiro_ | oh is ubuntu going to 2.6.9 soon? | 12:53 |
| _Hiro_ | 2.6.8 really has xfs issues :( | 12:54 |
| torpor | are there any ubuntu maintaners here? i'd like to suggest that there be a pakage that populates the /usr/src tree with the currently running kernel sources, config and all ... | 12:54 |
| torpor | ... if there isn't already, that is. | 12:54 |
| mjg59 | _Hiro_: There's unlikely to be a change of kernel version before Hoary | 12:54 |

| CraHan | Treenaks: when I hook up the usb dvd burner udev creates a block device and a character device /dev/sr0 and /dev/sg0 | 01:49 |
| CraHan | I can use cdrecord from the commandline like: | 01:49 |
| CraHan | cdrecord --dev=/dev/sg0 or --dev=0,0,0 | 01:49 |
| CraHan | BUT... and here's the problem | 01:49 |
| CraHan | when I use nautilus-cd-burner, it insists on using /dev/sr0 | 01:50 |
| CraHan | which fails | 01:50 |
| Treenaks | CraHan: does it give you an error message? it should work fine | 01:50 |

| Bast | just installed the nvidia-binary driver and i now have a refresh rate that doesn't make my eyes bleed | 01:51 |
| maze | thats always a plus | 01:51 |
| Treenaks | I know the feeling | 01:51 |
| Elw0od | Bast, i am still trying to install... | 01:51 |
| CraHan | Treenaks: when I call cdrecord with dev=/dev/sr0 it says the device is at scsibus +2 target -2 and lun -2 | 01:51 |
| CraHan | which is impossible | 01:52 |
| CraHan | it's at 0,0,0 | 01:52 |
| Elw0od | i have uname -ar 2.6.8.1 ..i get linux.restricted-modules-2.6.8.1-3 | 01:52 |
| Treenaks | CraHan: it shouldn't be using scsibus crap at all, just use the /dev/sr0 device.. it's a patched version of cdrecord.. | 01:52 |
| Elw0od | but it says does't match | 01:52 |
| CraHan | cdrecord: Invalid argument. Cannot get SCSI I/O buffer is the error | 01:52 |
| CraHan | Treenaks: I tried | 01:52 |
| Bast | elwood: it's really easy, i just downloaded with synaptic and ran the sudo command from the binary-howto on the wiki - worked first go | 01:52 |
| CraHan | Treenaks: cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=/dev/sr0 -data image.iso | 01:52 |
| CraHan | and it fails | 01:52 |
| CraHan | with that error | 01:53 |
| Elw0od | Bast, have u got a compiled by you own kernel? | 01:53 |
| Dekkard | hmm | 01:53 |

| Bast | the installer still didn't detect my monitor, so i had to edit my x config by hand to fix the refresh rate though | 01:53 |
| CraHan | not an ide device | 01:53 |
| Dekkard | i thought that with 2.6 kernels.. the whole ide=scsi thing was no longer needed.. | 01:53 |

| Elw0od_21 | bob2, i have some particular needs | 02:09 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | btw is it possible to add a root user to ubuntu? | 02:09 |
| Kamion | betances: why? | 02:09 |
| bob2 | Elw0od_21: you don't need a custom kernel for a winmodem | 02:09 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | Treenaks: lite-on 52x 52x 32x + 16x | 02:10 |
| bob2 | Ubuntu-Linux: please read the FAQ | 02:10 |
| Kamion | Ubuntu-Linux: 'sudo passwd root' | 02:10 |
| joolz | Ubuntu-Linux: why don't you do sudo -s? This will give you a root shell | 02:10 |
| Kamion | (and what bob2 said) | 02:10 |
| Elw0od_21 | bob2, but for supporting fs of mine yues | 02:10 |
| Elw0od_21 | yes | 02:10 |
| betances | Kamion: A user wouldn't really need it... | 02:10 |
| bob2 | Elw0od_21: which filesystem is that? | 02:10 |
| Elw0od_21 | btw it's possible to install nvidia? | 02:10 |
| Elw0od_21 | udf nfs | 02:10 |
| === Ubuntu-Linux looks for model number | ||
| Treenaks | Elw0od_21: udf and nfs are both supported by the default kernel | 02:10 |
| Kamion | betances: we're not really into dumbing down for the sake of dumbing down | 02:10 |
| bob2 | Elw0od_21: the ubuntu kernel supports both udf and nfs. | 02:10 |
| betances | Kamion: In fact, it looks like this is already solved in GNOME upstream. Check http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131792 | 02:10 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | bob2: you talking about http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/root | 02:10 |
| bob2 | Ubuntu-Linux: yes. and the wiki page. | 02:11 |
| Elw0od_21 | but there is a solution? | 02:11 |
| Elw0od_21 | so i can get an img of prebuilt kernel? | 02:11 |
| bob2 | Elw0od_21: you can do whatever you want. by building your own kernel, tho, you're making this all harder for yourself. | 02:11 |
| Kamion | betances: bleh, that was a foolish decision. | 02:11 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | bob2: i read it. it doesnt say if it possible to add a normal root user | 02:11 |
| betances | Kamion: It's not about dumbing down, but as discussed in that page, does Joe User really need it? | 02:11 |
| Kamion | betances: it doesn't do Joe User any harm. | 02:11 |
| Treenaks | I use that 'Open Terminal' thing all the time1 | 02:11 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | like with the user id of 0 .... | 02:11 |
| Kamion | (and frequently, yes) | 02:11 |
| Elw0od_21 | bob2, but compiling drivers for my modemrequires sources | 02:12 |
| Kamion | Ubuntu-Linux: it is possible. follow its instructions. | 02:12 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | Treenaks: you want the model number? | 02:12 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | Kamion: by doing the sudo root pword command? | 02:12 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | does that add a full root user | 02:13 |
| Kamion | Ubuntu-Linux: yes (only spelt correctly) | 02:13 |
| betances | Kamion, Treenaks: I do too. But this is about humanity to others, no? And the majority of those "others" cannot care less about a terminal... | 02:13 |
| Kamion | Ubuntu-Linux: there already *is* a full root user, with uid 0 | 02:13 |
| Kamion | betances: again: what harm does it do theem. | 02:13 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | OHHHH so maybe if it was a bit more clear | 02:13 |
| Kamion | them | 02:13 |

| Ubuntu-Linux | like say: To make the root user usable do the following command... | 02:14 |
| Elw0od_21 | bob2, u are right | 02:14 |
| Elw0od_21 | let me try | 02:14 |
| Treenaks | betances: there's a difference between a user and someone who starts running around screaming when he sees a window he does not recognise. | 02:15 |
| Kamion | Ubuntu-Linux: again, the FAQ says that the root account is "disabled", not "removed". | 02:15 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | Treenaks: it the detechtion which doesnt work but if i put the right driver on floppy why wont it work? | 02:15 |
| Treenaks | betances: a window with a "help" menu, which explains what it is. | 02:15 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | i said usable Kamion | 02:15 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | ok can i just install off the hdd? | 02:15 |
| Kamion | Ubuntu-Linux: the header of the page says "How do I use the root account?", and goes on to give a very detailed description of what's happening. | 02:16 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | that i dont have the cd dechtion problem | 02:16 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | Kamion: i have no idea what sudo is but i do know alot about other stuff | 02:16 |
| Treenaks | Ubuntu-Linux: the FAQ page explains it! | 02:17 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | Treenaks: yea i am on that page that does :) | 02:17 |
| betances | Treenaks, Kamion: I insist this is not necessary for a normal user. There's already a patch to this bug, according to the bug page. Their solution: a keybinding providing the same feature. | 02:17 |
| Treenaks | betances: which is annoying, because it takes op another set of keys | 02:17 |
| Kamion | betances: which is less discoverable | 02:17 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | Treenaks: so what shound i say in the bug report? | 02:18 |
| _Hiro_ | if I have a 2.6.7 kernel installed, will that work with linux-restricted-modules-2.6.8-x ? | 02:18 |

| Ubuntu-Linux | i already staed my cd drive in <make> and <model | 02:42 |
| Treenaks | Ubuntu-Linux: and what you're trying, and what you expect it to do | 02:42 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | Treenaks: so my motherboard? | 02:42 |
| Treenaks | Ubuntu-Linux: and what you did to try to solve it | 02:42 |
| Micksa | nanotech: are you who I think you are? | 02:42 |
| nanotech | psssh. dunno | 02:42 |
| KazeNoBokusha | if i have an athlon xp, which do i want, warty-rc-live-i386.iso or warty-release-install-i386.iso or something else? | 02:42 |
| Micksa | are/were you a SLUGger? | 02:42 |

| Micksa | well sorree | 02:43 |

| Micksa | poking is old skool | 02:43 |
| Micksa | or something | 02:43 |
| Kamion | KazeNoBokusha: then warty-release-install-i386.iso | 02:43 |
| _Hiro_ | nanotech you need http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim-vv/ | 02:43 |
| Treenaks | KazeNoBokusha: warty-release-install-i386.iso is the "release" installer ISO | 02:43 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | Treenaks: ata control == mother baord? | 02:43 |
| KazeNoBokusha | ok | 02:43 |
| _Hiro_ | but that probably requires gaim on both sides | 02:43 |
| Treenaks | Ubuntu-Linux: the ATA controller can be on your motherboard, yes | 02:43 |
| stvn | nanotech: you need gaim-vv for that - as to the looks of it | 02:43 |
| Treenaks | Ubuntu-Linux: probably the part of lspci -vv that is about your ATA/SATA controller(s) is more relevant | 02:44 |
| _Hiro_ | and linphone it seems | 02:44 |
| Ubuntu-Linux | crap my browser crashed i hate manbrake | 02:44 |
| Treenaks | Ubuntu-Linux: also, the exact error message can be useful | 02:44 |

| xf | i define 'stable' by package updates, that is, a package update won't break thigns. | 04:03 |
| bob2 | xf: yes | 04:03 |
| xf | for example, i consider debian woody stable as hell. sid, not as stable (preious experiences have been things like broken fsck's rendering partitions useless on reboots, or a broken lilo making a system not boot up properly [which is a BIG problem if it's colo'ed on the other side of the world] ). | 04:03 |

| xf | i mean, is a server-style package (say, a imap server, apache, or something) upgraded whan a newer version comes out? | 04:05 |
| xf | this is typically problematic in my experiences, especially if a config file format has changed, or there's a 'bug fix' that could break existing configs | 04:05 |
| bern` | mrjive: looking in the log at the end it says Fatal Server error: Caught Signal 11 | 04:06 |
| SmokingFire | xf: I think if you don't use universe things should not be broken. | 04:06 |

| _Hiro_ | bhsx just chose a boot option with (recovery mode) like Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.8.1-2-386 (recovery mode) | 04:39 |
| _Hiro_ | that'll boot you into single mode | 04:39 |

| moyote | mortal_: thanks Is that the only driver needed? It's been a long time for me and Debian. \ | 07:20 |
| mortal_ | cardador I edited XF86Config and modprobed it | 07:20 |
| mortal_ | nvidia 4821428 12 | 07:21 |
| cardador | mortal_: sudo gedit /etc/modules and write nvidia at the bottom | 07:21 |
| cardador | then restart x | 07:21 |
| cardador | or restart pc | 07:21 |
| mortal_ | cardad ...see above ...the nvidia module is loaded | 07:21 |
| mortal_ | i will do that before i reboot | 07:21 |

| mortal_ | nvidia | 07:22 |
| moyote | ty | 07:23 |
| Kimiko | I added the ubuntu repositories for warty and hoary to my sources list | 07:23 |
| Kimiko | apt-get update complains of "GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com hoary Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:" | 07:23 |
| Kamion | Kimiko: hoary doesn't exist yet, don't try to use it | 07:23 |
| mortal_ | the problem is for some reason, this driver, kernel, and desktop configuration is making it approximately 300 fps slower on ubuntu | 07:23 |
| Kimiko | where can I get the gpg keys for them? | 07:23 |
| Kamion | it hasn't been set up | 07:23 |

| mortal_ | yes | 07:24 |
| Kimiko | oh? I found a hoary dir on the archive | 07:24 |
| Kimiko | so I just added it too | 07:24 |
| Kamion | yes, it's functionally empty. | 07:24 |
| Kimiko | anyway, the same warning is given for warty | 07:24 |
| Kamion | it's been there for some months but that doesn't mean it works :) | 07:24 |
| Kamion | that I don't know | 07:24 |
| Kimiko | for debian, I installed the debian-keyring package and then ran gpg --import | 07:25 |
| Kimiko | but I can't find a similar package for ubuntu | 07:25 |
| Kamion | there isn't one | 07:25 |

| Kamion | Kimiko: I believe apt 0.6 has a knob to turn off GPG verification ... | 07:26 |
| Kimiko | I only added the ubuntu repositories because they have some newer stuff than experimental | 07:26 |
| mortal_ | it worked fine for me | 07:27 |
| Kamion | Kimiko: uh, you don't want to mix Debian and Ubuntu. | 07:27 |
| Kimiko | why not? they're compatible, right? | 07:27 |
| Kamion | Kimiko: our repositories contain some packages which have the same version number as Debian but are different (i.e. recompiled). | 07:27 |

| Kamion | initrds are more designed for distribution kernels (and experts with odd requirements) ... | 07:30 |

| LinuxJones | mair, ya but you probably will not notice any difference form the 386 so it's probably not worth the effort. | 09:50 |

| stvn | witigonen: dunno about ati, but for nvidia you need to remove the dri module from /etx/X!1/XFConfig | 09:57 |
| witigonen | LinuxJones, I haven't specifically told it to load, I just assumed that it would automatically. | 09:57 |

| LinuxJones | stratos, you don't have to specifically load the ati driver , I use nvidia :) | 09:58 |
| stratos | i tried to help him a few secs back. so first thing i asked what the ouput of lsmod was. and fglrx was loaded | 09:59 |
| stvn | witigonen: check /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for the modules | 09:59 |

| stvn | witigonen: mighbe something to do with other modules loaded, but that's tricky bizniz | 10:02 |
| witigonen | I'll copy a few things from his, see if I can't get it to work. Question, though: what's the best way to start/stop the x server so I don't have to reboot? | 10:02 |

| moyote | LinuxJones, | 10:04 |
| LinuxJones | moyote, umm paste the url and let me see if I can open it | 10:04 |
