| toyowheelin | travis, I have 2 dns servers one is my own and the other is my router which is a dns forwarder to my isps dns servers | 02:16 |
| Matt| | jdub, how come? | 02:16 |
| jdub | it's not worth the trouble | 02:16 |
| jdub | we do some linker optimisation for the gnome packages | 02:16 |
| Matt| | jdub, it does not improve the speed? | 02:16 |
| jdub | no | 02:16 |
| Matt| | we? | 02:17 |
| Matt| | you are a developer? | 02:17 |
| jdub | prelink can provide startup benefits, but has a bunch of annoying costs too - it's just not worth it | 02:17 |
| jdub | yes | 02:17 |
| Matt| | right in that case i will take your word for it | 02:17 |
| Matt| | anyother optimisations i should do? | 02:17 |
| jdub | no | 02:17 |

| Matt| | jdub, yeah i'll add my thanks | 02:18 |
| travis | toyowheelin: I used to be able to use my router as a forwarder, but it doesn't work anymore. If I set the dns to the router ip, it just doesn't work | 02:19 |
| travis | anyway, thanks for the help. I'm off for a bit, talk to you later | 02:19 |
| Matt| | jdub, what about compiling a kernel and building things in, is that worth it? | 02:19 |
| toyowheelin | c-ya | 02:19 |
| jdub | Matt|: no | 02:19 |
| Matt| | jdub, how come? | 02:20 |
| jdub | because there's no point | 02:20 |
| jdub | it just means you're not using the distro-supported kernel, that you need to recompile every time you get new hardware, etc., etc. | 02:20 |
| jdub | you have to manage your own security fixes | 02:20 |
| Matt| | speed? | 02:21 |
| jdub | okay, so | 02:21 |
| jdub | you would do without all of those things | 02:21 |
| jdub | for speed? | 02:21 |
| azeem | jdub: are you guys applying any extra low-latency-super-responsive patches to the kernel? | 02:21 |
| jdub | azeem: no | 02:21 |
| Matt| | depends on how much speed i guess jdub | 02:21 |
| azeem | one guy at debian-desktop believed that CDD should patch the kernel to make it desktop-ready | 02:22 |
| jdub | Matt|: seriously - you would forego all of those for 'speed'? | 02:22 |
| azeem | jdub: okie, so it's good enough for anybody else as well =) | 02:22 |
| jdub | Matt|: and then when i tell you that building modules into the kernel has ABSOLUTELY NO affect on performance... | 02:22 |
| Matt| | ok | 02:22 |

| jdub | Matt|: stop thinking about 'speed' and start thinking about using your computer. | 02:23 |
| jdub | of course it does | 02:23 |
| jdub | but you load a module once | 02:23 |
| Matt| | jdub, don't be angry | 02:23 |

| Matt| | what do you mean by thinking about my computer | 02:23 |
| Pizbit | Heh, I find it funny when people argue for speed when they're only gonna save a few seconds over a month or so:) | 02:24 |
| azeem | Matt|: the point is that all the miliseconds you save each time on startup will get eaten up once you need to recompile your kernel for whatever reason | 02:24 |
| Matt| | azeem, i appreciate that | 02:24 |
| Matt| | i was just asking | 02:24 |
| Matt| | i have just been used to recompiling my kernel and building things in | 02:25 |
| Matt| | so i am interested | 02:25 |
| azeem | well, if you are a hacker, you could check about running init scripts in parallel and optimizing hotplug or such things for hoary | 02:25 |
| blackdog | I've got a problem with mounting a vfat partion so I can share with my XP partition. Its mounted in fstab with /dev/hda4 /mnt/shared vfat rw,user,auto 0 0. It mounts with the wrong permission. How can I fix it? | 02:25 |
| azeem | but see what the status is on those before you duplicate work | 02:25 |
| Matt| | azeem, are you talking to me? | 02:25 |
| azeem | Matt|: yes | 02:25 |
| paulproteus | blackdog: Set 'noauto'. | 02:25 |
| paulproteus | And then mount it as your Ubuntu user. | 02:26 |
| paulproteus | Rather than as root. | 02:26 |
| Matt| | azeem, i installed ubuntu for the first time last night | 02:26 |
| paulproteus | There's one option for you. | 02:26 |
| blackdog | thanks | 02:26 |
| azeem | blackdog: perhaps look at umask, dunno | 02:26 |
| azeem | Matt|: hmm, ok | 02:26 |
| pocolocococo | umask-0 | 02:26 |
| Matt| | i have no competence with computers | 02:26 |
| paulproteus | blackdog: The other option is to add this option to the options list: uid=1000 | 02:26 |
| pocolocococo | doh | 02:26 |
| Matt| | otherwise I wouldn't have been asking dumb questions | 02:26 |
| azeem | Matt|: in that case, I advise you to just use your system for a couple of days and then reevaluate whether you really need more speed | 02:27 |
| pocolocococo | umask=0 | 02:27 |
| paulproteus | uid=1000 will make the first user (user IDs start at 1000) own all the files. | 02:27 |
| paulproteus | umask=0 means any other you drop all security restrictions on the partition. The "umask" parameter says what permissions to limit, so by setting it to zero you allow everyone everything. | 02:27 |
| Matt| | azeem, i had not made any evaluations. I repeat, i was simply curious | 02:28 |

| Matt| | there is no root account by default | 03:09 |
| Tux234 | it uses sudo | 03:09 |
| cef_work | ok.. check /etc/network/interfaces (it's a file) and look for the network adapter definition in there. there should be an 'auto ifname' line, comment that out, and it won't start automatically | 03:09 |
| Matt| | ah thanks cef_work | 03:09 |
| Matt| | but if I want to stop other services starting, such as hotplug, i do it the way LinuxJones said? | 03:10 |
| cef_work | Matt|: then you can still use 'ifup ifname' and 'ifdown ifname' whenever you like | 03:10 |
| fluoro | How do I edit XF86Config then? | 03:10 |
| Matt| | fluoro, "sudo nano -w /etc/X11/XF86Config | 03:10 |
| LinuxJones | fluoro, you should check out the faq there's lots of important stuff >> http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/faqfolder_view/ | 03:10 |

| fluoro | Matt|: Thanks. | 03:11 |
| cef_work | Matt|: yes, or look in /etc/rc?.d/ and delete the S##service file (note, not the /etc/init.d/service file, you want to KEEP that) | 03:11 |

| === jamesh [~james@203-59-217-232.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Tenniru | Yeah, but xmms won't change skins and clashes terribly with the rest of my GNOME theme. | 03:24 |
| moyogo | oh well... found the bug in bugzilla | 03:24 |
| Tux234 | Hmmm... | 03:24 |
| Matt| | Tenniru, is it set to select a random skin on play? | 03:24 |
| Tenniru | No. | 03:24 |
| mctavish | Bad idea huh? I just want to do the admin stuff like copying files around etc without using the command line. So how would I approach that? | 03:24 |
| Tux234 | Is it in the theme folder? | 03:24 |
| Tenniru | It always goes to (none) whenever I turn it on. | 03:24 |
| stormrider | Do you have any skins in ~/.xmms/Skins? | 03:25 |
| Tenniru | Yes, it is. I can select and activate the theme, but when I turn the program off and turn it on again... | 03:25 |

| Matt| | i've asked already | 03:29 |
| Tenniru | That's weird. I selected "select random skin" and now it's default is the theme I wanted! | 03:29 |

| Matt| | ultrafunk, thanks for answering | 03:30 |
| jdub | robertj: brilliant... | 03:30 |
| Matt| | ultrafunk, what is DSDT? | 03:31 |
| robertj | (everyone should have a student worker to lighten their day) | 03:31 |
| Tux234 | When I play games on my computer I don't get any sound | 03:32 |
| Tux234 | Also don't get any sound on non-Gnome apps like xmms | 03:32 |
| Tux234 | I'm usin ALSA BTW | 03:33 |
| ultrafunk | Matt|: a DSDT contains a bunch of things your laptop BIOS needs to determine the support of your hardware correctly | 03:33 |
| === haggai_ is now known as haggai | ||
| Matt| | ultrafunk, i have never had this problem with any other distros or with Windows | 03:33 |
| robertj | I was really suprised though | 03:33 |
| robertj | I kinda thought OS X would prevent that, but I guess not ;) | 03:33 |
| Matt| | ultrafunk, do you know what I can do to solve the problem? | 03:34 |
| robertj | It's really very helpful. It prompts you to elevate your permissions so it can find it's way to ~/.Trash | 03:34 |
| ultrafunk | Matt|: occasionally, the newer drops of ACPI code cause issues in laptops that you wouldn't have had under 2.2/2.4 or earlier 2.6 | 03:34 |
| Matt| | ultrafunk, i've used the same kernel without problems on other distros | 03:35 |
| === bern [~bern@hc65277ea.dhcp.vt.edu] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Matt| | although I have not compiled my own kernel with ubuntu | 03:35 |
| ultrafunk | Matt|: not off the top of my head (every laptop has a different DSDT block), but http://acpi.sf.net is the best place to start looking | 03:35 |
| Matt| | ultrafunk, but doesn't the fact that it has always worked in the past indicate that it is a problem with ubuntu? | 03:36 |
| ultrafunk | Matt|: so you've used the Ubuntu kernel on another distribution -- or plain 2.6.8.1? | 03:36 |

| mightyMik | BUT...that brings up the question...if 'sarge' was able to install, why not ubuntu? same installer, no? | 04:17 |
| daniels | mightyMik: they use the same base, but different kernels, different autodetection, different modules; we have made many customisations. | 04:17 |
| mightyMik | ok...i think there's a bug in the ubuntu installer | 04:18 |
| Yannick_ | so ubuntu isn't sarge plus spcial configuration, but sarge base package + many other special package and customisation? | 04:19 |

| ygnome | bborkk: just run update again. | 05:03 |
| robertj | guy at works says "Spend $1600 and buy a G5, it will last you 4 years." At what I am paying I can take that same money and buy a new eMachine next year that will be as fast as that G5. | 05:03 |
| calc | they can't afford a pc to begin with but if it only costs $100 they will buy software according to his idea | 05:03 |

| tseng | bob2: did you see the bug, i did actually miss a ) in build-depend | 06:03 |
| nickers | jdub, i think what he is getting at is ubuntu is like the bastard child right now and what you want isnt always there. and to run stuff you add this repos to get it. who knows if that addy will still exist next apt-get update | 06:03 |
| bob2 | tseng: ah, heh | 06:03 |
| bob2 | the vast vast vast majority of the world's Free software is in universe | 06:03 |

| bob2 | if an occasional package you want is not, you can package it or ask someone else to do so | 06:04 |
| jdub | nickers: if it's not in main, it's unsupported. if it's not in universe or multiverse, it's not packged for ubuntu. it may be elsewhere. | 06:04 |
| nickers | jdub, what happens when ubuntu does package it? | 06:04 |
| nickers | jdub, is there an upgrade path for running all this stuff from elsewhere to get a working system? | 06:05 |

| bborkk | how does apt handle the "universe" tags attached to the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list? | 06:29 |
| sabmoc | is google down? | 06:29 |
| mdz | cef_work: I'm surprised it doesn't work, then. what's the name in /proc/scsi? | 06:29 |

| bborkk | Well, apt-get upgrade keeps warning me that I have duplicate entries, one of them being the ubuntu universe entry. I tried updating, but that just warns me that it can't stat the source list for mentors.debian.org and doesn't fix the duplicate entry problem. | 06:31 |
| cef_work | mdz: there isn't a /proc/scsi as such. there is /proc/scsi/scsi, which lists the 3ware card, device-info (with nothing worthwhile in it), and a sata_sil direcrtory | 06:32 |

| bob2 | bborkk: well, you do have duplicate entries | 06:33 |
| cef_work | mdz: this is quite a new driver in the kernel (2.6.8 afaik was the first stable to see it).. so it's quite possible it's not providing the right info | 06:34 |
| bob2 | bborkk: remove "warty universe" from the second archive.ubuntu line | 06:34 |
| mdz | cef_work: so there is no /proc/scsi subdirectory? | 06:36 |
| bborkk | bob2: Ah. I wish I had more eyes. Thanks. | 06:36 |

| bob2 | bborkk: no, what I said will let you continue to use universe | 06:37 |
| bob2 | bborkk: but will remove t he error | 06:37 |
| GotD0t | hello? | 06:37 |
| cef_work | /proc/scsi # ls ->> device_info sata_sil scsi | 06:37 |
| bob2 | GotD0t: I use cdrdao, but that's not the answer you're looking for | 06:37 |
| cef_work | mdz: and only sata_sil is actually a directory | 06:37 |

| cef_work | mdz: cool. | 06:39 |
| bborkk | bob2: Hmm. I don't see what you mean by removing "warty universe"... that string doesn't appear... do you mean to remove the string "warty" and the string "universe". Thanks. | 06:40 |

| Zotnix | I think (this might be wrong to do) I set a root password by sudo passwd | 08:09 |
| Zotnix | I can now su into root just fine. | 08:09 |
| lhb | ubuntu had me because it was debian based and a sweet sweet gnome desktop default | 08:10 |
| Zindar | Zotnix: there is nothing wrong with that if you prefer... I don't see why but that's me | 08:10 |
| Zindar | old habits may be hard to break | 08:10 |
| Zotnix | I still do sudo now. | 08:10 |
| ficusplanet | I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but have any ubuntu devs considered making a handler for irc:// urls so that we could link to the IRC room from a Web page? | 08:10 |
| lhb | and the 1 disk, only 1 disk to download | 08:10 |
| Zotnix | I'm getting accustomed to sudo. | 08:10 |
| calc | with kde upstream not even knowing how to manage libraries it would probably be a good thing not to worry about it ;) | 08:10 |
| === calc notes he gets bugs all the time regarding that | ||
| Zotnix | Anyone know any good repositories that contain very current packages (namely gaim/firefox/blam type things) | 08:11 |
| lhb | sudo is actually not that crazy when you have been usinh su all the time | 08:11 |
| jdub | Zotnix: no, and we'd discourage them | 08:11 |
| Pyguy | I still require a password even when "sudo [anything] " :\ | 08:12 |
| jdub | Zotnix: what you have is a fully supported distro with a rapid release process | 08:12 |
| ficusplanet | Zotnix, I would avoid the Firefox preview release because it was downgraded for stability issues. If you're really interested in bleeding edge, follow hoary. | 08:12 |
| jdub | Zotnix: when hoary (the devel branch) opens up, you'll get all of those kinds of things, though you'll be running the devel release | 08:12 |
| Zotnix | Well I wouldn't update the entire system to that unstable | 08:12 |
| bern | anyone have problems with liquid weather in karamba? | 08:12 |
| bern | mine gets locked up at the splash screen | 08:12 |
| Zotnix | Just certain packages. | 08:13 |
| Zotnix | Like xchat namely | 08:13 |
| jdub | Zotnix: then you don't get the new packages :) | 08:13 |
| Zotnix | Heh, I'd use my discretion. | 08:13 |
| === calc wants gnome 2.10 | ||
| jdub | Zotnix: you have a choice - supported or rapid response development. it's better to make the choice along those lines. | 08:14 |
| calc | Zotnix: live on the edge :) | 08:14 |
| Zotnix | I like to. | 08:14 |
| Zotnix | When I had gentoo I used the entire system under !x86 | 08:14 |
| Zotnix | ~x86 | 08:14 |
| Despair | jdub: Depends. You may want stability in most of your system, but need to track improvements in a few areas. isn't that what `apt-get -t experimental -s upgrade` is for? ;) | 08:14 |
| joem | Zotnix, ubuntu isn't gentoo | 08:15 |
| jdub | Despair: no | 08:15 |
| === whiprush yawns | ||
| whiprush | evening everyone | 08:16 |
| Despair | Wow, apparently I was using debian all wrong then. :) | 08:16 |
| jdub | pants off, whiprush | 08:16 |
| whiprush | on, but loosened. | 08:16 |
| jdub | Despair: if you thought experimental was something you could upgrade to, and had 'improvements' to your otherwise stable system, yes. | 08:16 |
| Despair | err, hmm, I was unclear, I wasn't recommending debian experimental in ubuntu. would be hoary here. | 08:16 |
| jdub | hoary == sid | 08:17 |
| whiprush | soon my thinkpad x40 will be here and be ubuntusized. And you will all fear. >_< | 08:17 |
| calc | experimental on debian typically is stuff too broken to risk uploading to sid | 08:17 |
| jdub | whiprush: you sucker! | 08:17 |
| Pyguy | Okay, well "sudo vim /etc/X11/XF86Config-4" still asks me to provide a password for root... is anyone else getting this? | 08:17 |
| whiprush | jdub: heh, NOT. paid for by work. woo. | 08:17 |
| ficusplanet | Pyguy, You use your user's password. | 08:18 |
| Pyguy | :\ Thanks :) | 08:18 |
| ficusplanet | no problem | 08:18 |
| justdave | if I build a package locally and I want Synaptic to be able to see it, is there somewhere I can drop the .deb file so it'll find it? or do I have to create a local repository and add it to sources.list? | 08:18 |
| ficusplanet | justdave, If a package is installed, it will in Synaptic. But if you want non-installed packages to show up, yes, you need a repository. | 08:19 |
| jdub | justdave: the latter. | 08:19 |
| justdave | package in question is missing from universe, but the source is there. has a co-dependency on one that is built in universe. Installing either one without passing both of them to apt-get install at once will fail. | 08:20 |
| justdave | so I guess the other option is to download the deb file for the one that's pre-built and pass them both to dpkg -i | 08:20 |
| jdub | justdave: download the other deb and dpkg -i | 08:20 |
| Zotnix | Can't wait for x.org to be used instead of xfree86 >.< | 08:21 |
| Pyguy | Hm... smooth-scrolling (I don't know if that's what you'd call it) doesn't seem to be working. i.e. Holding down backspace doesn't send it back, until you let go... is this a feature? | 08:21 |
| justdave | actually, it's dpkg -i that fails if you don't pass both at once. :) apt-get install can't find one, and won't install the other without it :) | 08:22 |
| justdave | there's a command-line option for apt-get to download a deb... where's it download to when you do that? current directory? | 08:22 |
| jdub | think so | 08:23 |
| jdub | or check /var/cache/apt/archive | 08:23 |
| Marjo | justdave: sudo apt-get --help | 08:23 |
| clee | jdub: it's possible for a friend who can't get ubuntu to find his CDROM during install to tell the installer to use debs from the HD, right? | 08:23 |
| jdub | i think so | 08:23 |
| Pyguy | Great, I got it to change resolution properly in VMWare... Should I write up a quick fix for others, or...? | 08:24 |
| whiprush | someone did a vmware thing in the wiki | 08:24 |
| whiprush | probably best to add it to that | 08:24 |

| Marjo | justdave: Whats wrong with installing the package with "apt-get install <package>"? | 08:29 |
| justdave | Marjo: because the package isn't built in the repository. | 08:29 |
| justdave | er, there's two packages, one is built, one isn't. | 08:29 |
| justdave | both have to be installed together because they're co-dependent on each other | 08:29 |
| Pizbit | Yeah, dpkg -i deb1 deb2 | 08:29 |

| mjr | so you basically want a cdrw with ~700M lasers so you can flash the whole disk at once | 11:17 |
| mjr | (trust me, you do _not_ want to spin a cd at x20000) | 11:17 |
| topyli | mjr: your idea is better :) | 11:17 |
| topyli | backing up sucks currently | 11:18 |
| mjr | of course, maybe one laser per track would do... | 11:18 |
| enrico | Or a video beamer which uses laser instead of a lamp, then you line up a number of empty CDs on the wall and display the CD image | 11:18 |

| xf | things break, it spells doom | 12:53 |

| xf | and sarge isn't a terribly secure choice | 12:54 |
| xf | yes, exactly | 12:54 |
| xf | i'm just curious what the focus is on ubuntu's packages | 12:54 |
| xf | see, right now, i've been maintaining my own backports on woody | 12:54 |
| xf | which works well, but goddamn, it's a /lot/ of work | 12:54 |
| whiprush | cobalts are cool, wish I had one, sounds like fun. | 12:54 |
| xf | and i'm only at the scale of a few dozen of my own servers | 12:54 |
| xf | see, i'd like to know i can upgrade to the latest ubuntu packages /without/ things breaking | 12:55 |
| merriam | azeem: nfs-user-server is one way to do it | 12:55 |
| xf | and if they do, things are kept to be very minimal, and they're predictable | 12:55 |
| whiprush | well hard to tell, since it's only the first release, heh. | 12:55 |
| Gmail | xf: most of ubuntu's package are from testing(/sid?) of debian | 12:55 |
| xf | i.e. if version 4.56.32 comes out, other distros might instantly package it up and release it. that minor version upgrade might /slightly/ break some configs. when you're talkign web interfaces and users that don't know jack, that's a problem | 12:55 |
| azeem | merriam: aren't there problems when e.g. the WLAN connection is flakey? | 12:55 |

| whiprush | no, just the security stuff from what I've read. | 12:57 |
| xf | i like woody's mentality, but 2 year cycles are just too long | 12:57 |

| xf_ | yes | 01:59 |
| jono | anyone use them here? | 01:59 |
| daniels | fglrx, yes | 01:59 |
| daniels | they also suck. | 01:59 |
| Zotnix | ATI has horrid support... that seems to be the general feeling. | 01:59 |
| xf_ | they're awful | 01:59 |
| xf_ | go nvidia if you want 3d | 01:59 |
| xf_ | seriously | 01:59 |
| daniels | great once you get them working, but they're notoriously difficult to set up | 01:59 |
| xf_ | the commercial ati drivers in linux are terrible | 01:59 |
| Zotnix | NVIDIA is thought to have better support... but their drivers "taint" your kernel. | 01:59 |
| daniels | however, nvidia isn't so crash-hot either | 01:59 |
| xf_ | unstable, only have a portion of the speed/maturity/features of the windows drivers | 01:59 |
| daniels | lots of problems with their drivers, mainly with bad Render interactions | 01:59 |
| xf_ | the nvidia drivers are build with a common core for all architectures/platforms, so they're much nicer | 02:00 |
| jono | right | 02:00 |
| xf_ | yeah, nvidia ain't too crash hot, but they're the best for 3d at the moment, unfortunately | 02:00 |
| Treenaks | xf_: wait for the nano-itx boards from VIA, with the KM400 chip :) | 02:00 |

| xf_ | like i have time for games anyway :-p | 02:00 |
| xf_ | Treenaks: cool :) | 02:00 |
| xf_ | daniels: for 3d? | 02:01 |
| xf_ | i thought the open source drivers for ati were quite basic | 02:01 |
| xf_ | only gave a small fraction of the performance the commercial drivers do | 02:01 |
| gruberman | Gmail: hoary meeting? Sorry, I don't understand | 02:01 |
| daniels | xf_: they have full 3D acceleration for r1xx and r2xx series | 02:01 |
| daniels | xf_: with perfect performance | 02:01 |
| xf_ | oh, nice. works with things like quake3 okay? | 02:01 |
| daniels | they have no 3D acceleration with r3xx and r4xx (9[5678] 00, 9550, x[3468] 00) | 02:01 |
| daniels | yeah, works fine | 02:02 |
| xf_ | i ended up buying an nvidia fx5900xt recently, seemed decent for the price. works well, but i'm still getting far less performance in games in linux than i am on winxp | 02:02 |
| daniels | i used to play ut, tacops and q3a a bit | 02:02 |

| xf_ | what sort of fps do you get on your ati w/open sourced drivers in say, ut or quake3? | 02:06 |

| hypn0 | can someone give a link to package directories, and updates plz | 02:12 |
| mjr | yes, I have dual-head too ;) | 02:12 |
| xf_ | i mean in the sense that when you run a game on a machine, you typically aren't doing anything else interactive with the machine at the same time | 02:12 |
| mjr | but I'll just see how it goes with the 9250, I'm no big gamer so it's not critical for me | 02:12 |
| xf_ | and if you are, you're sucking precious cpu cycles away from the game | 02:13 |

| Gmail | xchat-text is need by xchat | 03:38 |
| Hmmm | hi guys | 03:38 |
| Hmmm | just got warty installed | 03:38 |
| Gmail | bob2: install xchat-text and you will see what i mean | 03:38 |
| Hmmm | was wondering if someone had some good repositories for apt | 03:38 |
| bob2 | Hmmm: what do you want that isn't in universe? | 03:38 |
| StarScream | TheCan: you can get KDE for ubuntu? where from? | 03:38 |
| Gmail | anyone which used xchat-text in a channel wound apt-get remove it in like a few ms | 03:38 |
| daniels | Gmail: i think the point bob's making is that this would force people using non-X machines to install xlibs if they wanted xchat-text | 03:38 |
| TheCan | StarScream, from universe? | 03:39 |
| Riddell | StarScream: from universe (KDE 3.2) or my pacakges (some 3.3) | 03:39 |
| Gmail | daniels: no one want xchat-text | 03:39 |
| daniels | Gmail: if the xchat developers improve xchat-text in future, you'll need to re-split it, which would suck | 03:39 |
| bob2 | Gmail: so why don't you just disable the build? | 03:39 |
| Gmail | daniels: the xchat devel made xhat-text werst | 03:39 |
| daniels | Gmail: there's just no need to merge them into one package -- which is forcing it upon people who don't want it, like you -- as it also creates unnecessary derivation from debian | 03:39 |
| daniels | which is harder to repair | 03:39 |
| daniels | Gmail: what's to say that no-one will ever make it better? | 03:39 |
| Hmmm | bob2, what's the url for uiverse? | 03:39 |

| bob2 | Hmmm: wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto | 03:40 |
| Gmail | daniels: goto #xchat and fight with them to contue xchat-tezt if you want it | 03:40 |
| Hmmm | thanks bob2 | 03:40 |
| daniels | Gmail: no thanks, I'm not really interested. but as far as I can tell, there's no reason to have them in the same package -- which forces *you* to have it installed, and creates unnecessary derivation from Debian -- only downsides | 03:41 |
| bob2 | Gmail: it has nothing to do with xchat, I'm just wondering why you don't disable the build entirely if you don't want it | 03:41 |
| TheCan | so anyone else having the "ugly kde fonts" problem? | 03:41 |
| Gmail | its discontue as it own package for quite awhile and xchat-text 2 is even better than xchat-text 2.4 no really it a lot more user friendly i used both | 03:41 |
| jind | What's the newest kde packages for warthy? | 03:41 |
| jind | I find both kde 3.1 and kde 3.2? | 03:41 |
| Gmail | bob2: because xchat need xchat-text for some reason even thou it doesnt use it | 03:41 |
| bob2 | Gmail: it doesn't use it? at all? are you sure? | 03:42 |
| Gmail | bob2: ask #xchat why does xchat-common enclude xchat-text | 03:42 |
| bob2 | Gmail: erm, that has nothing to do with xchat's authors | 03:42 |
| daniels | daniels@nanasawa:~/music/James Lavelle/Global Underground 26 - Romania/CD2 - The Beast% apt-cache show xchat-common | grep xchat-text | 03:43 |
| daniels | Recommends: xchat | xchat-text | 03:43 |
| daniels | xchat-gnome, or xchat-text. | 03:43 |
| daniels | ok, so afaict it's saying that you really, really should have either xchat, or xchat-text installed; and xchat being preferred | 03:43 |
| Gmail | xchat-common encludes xchat-text so there is no need for 2 packages but the xchat-text includes a few thing like a binary in /usr/bin | 03:43 |
| === littlepaul [~littlepau@pD95FD407.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| daniels | so it's changed from 2.0, where xchat, xchat-common, and xchat-text were entirely separate packages? | 03:44 |
| Gmail | ahh forget it | 03:44 |
| daniels | i honestly don't see how you couldn't put it in a separate package, just like the current package tree | 03:44 |
| Gmail | i will build xchat-text and xchat-common and keep them like howthey where | 03:44 |
| === rcaskey [~rcaskey@cai17.music.uga.edu] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| daniels | good plan | 03:45 |
| Gmail | so should i add a folder in the the defult profile which has a banch of script if there are any good one (i can find any) | 03:45 |
| Gmail | ok so anyone want any changes to xchat from debian? | 03:47 |
| Gmail | beside the ubuntu servers | 03:47 |
| Gmail | well xchat come with 2 scripts ignore and sample-sript | 03:49 |
| Gmail | i'll ask in #xchat if anyone says there are any scripts that are a must have | 03:49 |
| wulfy | bob2: remember the nvidia driver trouble I was having? turns out to be the card | 03:49 |
| bob2 | hah. | 03:49 |
| Hawkwind | Gmail: There are NO must have scripts for Xchat | 03:49 |
| wulfy | bob2: the FX5200 (XFX branded I think) locks hard after driver install | 03:49 |
| wulfy | bob2: I put in an older MX something or other and it just worked no problem | 03:50 |
| Hawkwind | Gmail: Trust me on that, you just want the tcl, perl, python and ruby plugins and nothing more. Let users deal with their own scripts | 03:50 |

| === xevil [icechat5@host-209-214-148-230.jan.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Hawkwind | Gmail: There is an ignore option already by default in Xchat | 03:51 |
| Gmail | ignore is a script for xchat if not xchat will not have ingore | 03:51 |
| Hawkwind | Gmail: If you right click on a nick, it's there by default. It's part of the nick menu | 03:52 |

| Hawkwind | Gmail: Settings---Advanced---Userlist Popups That is where your ignore option is kept by default and edited or removed if you want | 03:53 |
| Gmail | i dont know why-the hell its in the docs folder | 03:54 |
| Hawkwind | Gmail: Not every distro is like that though | 03:54 |
| bob2 | Gmail: because they're sample scripts? | 03:54 |

| Gmail | Hawkwind: ignore is a plug that come with xchat by defult it made by the devel team but its not built into binary form and is a perl script that is easly updatable/upgradable/editble | 03:55 |
| Gmail | bob2: excaly | 03:55 |
| Gmail | bob2: but the same script is used in xchat to give you the ignore feature | 03:56 |
| bob2 | Gmail: yet it works without the script being moved. | 03:56 |
| bob2 | Gmail: it's almost as if it's built-in | 03:56 |

| bob2_xchat | by just right-clicking on gmail's name, I can ignore everything he says | 03:59 |

| bob2_xchat | for example | 03:59 |
| Hawkwind | Xchat-text blows balls | 03:59 |

| Kamion | bob2_xchat: "for example" | 03:59 |
| Hawkwind | I'm glad it's no longer maintained. It isn't worth it anyways | 03:59 |
| Gmail | bob2_xchat: because the script is there by defult like built in | 03:59 |
| Gmail | it made by the team | 04:00 |
| Gmail | in other word xchat's ignore feature is done by perl and not c | 04:00 |

| Hawkwind | The Mandrake rpms are compiled without the xchat-text portion which is really nice. It's not needed, so they don't include it | 04:01 |

| StarScream | Gmail: have a look at something called checkinstall | 04:49 |
| Gmail | then do dpkg-deb --build debian | 04:49 |
| bob2 | Gmail: erm, why aren't you using debhelper? | 04:49 |
| Gmail | the probblem is the deb isnt add the /usr/bin file it all correct it the folder | 04:49 |

| daniels | Gmail: if you've never made a deb before, look at dh-make and cdbs | 04:50 |
| Gmail | i read the howto when woody came out and i'v alway been making them like that | 04:50 |
| Gmail | daniels: i have made a few hunred | 04:51 |

| bob2 | stodge: that is very weird...have you posted to the list about this? | 05:05 |
| StarScream | daniels: well for some reason (i dont know why) but xorg just seems to render fonts much better on my ibook, i think it may be the ati drivers | 05:05 |

| stvn | yeah, heel irritant, volgens mij een linux probleem en iig niet een specifiek ubuntu probleem | 05:38 |
| bob2 | tvon: 20 minutes | 05:38 |
| stvn | w/w | 05:39 |
| tvon | lovely | 05:39 |
| Micksa | okay, so what's a cmdline calculator? | 05:39 |
| Micksa | like bc | 05:39 |
| Micksa | but with, like, useful stuff | 05:39 |
| Kamion | Micksa: python? | 05:39 |
| Micksa | like exponential notation | 05:39 |

| angie75 | i would like to setup a dsl gateway with ubuntu any clues? may I just do it with the network tools? | 05:40 |
| tvon | bc is available | 05:40 |
| iminj | I'm looking for assistance with a a sound issue. I have 1 sound card (SB awe64), but ubuntu Volume Control opens 2 active sound mixers - OSS and ALSA. | 05:40 |
| === azeem [~mbanck@socks-out.lrz-muenchen.de] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| tvon | iminj: that is the nasty state of volume control in gnome | 05:40 |
| Micksa | is that gnome-specifi | 05:41 |
| tvon | angie75: for a gateway box you won't be able to do it all with the GUI tools I believe | 05:41 |
| iminj | tvon: that's the default gnome setting ? | 05:41 |
| azeem | is there an easy/out-of-the-box working way to make dhcp/ntp ethernet-cable-aware? Like installing ifplugd? | 05:41 |
| Micksa | or just a problem with being able to tell which OSS cards are just ALSA clones? | 05:41 |
| tvon | iminj: the default volume control app shows all the available sound controls, which is generally Alsa and OSS (which is just alsa emulating OSS) | 05:41 |
| Micksa | tvon: bc is kinda shitty | 05:41 |
| Micksa | you can't pass it "1e+6", say | 05:42 |
| tvon | Micksa: I thought you said 'like bc', so I figured you liked it :) | 05:42 |

| bob2 | spiv: yes | 05:50 |
| bob2 | stodge: ^ | 05:50 |

| daniels | why's that? | 06:35 |
| Matt| | daniels, at the moment I am running a custom script to bring it up | 06:35 |
| bob2 | Matt|: why? | 06:35 |
| manuel_ | bob2: But it is getting on my nervs ;-) | 06:35 |
| bob2 | manuel_: you could blacklist it in /etc/hotplug/blacklist, I guess | 06:35 |
| Matt| | i use a wireless card and the howto told me to use the script which comes with the package | 06:35 |
| Matt| | bob2, daniels, how is it posible for me to start gdm earlier in the boot process? | 06:36 |

| maswan | Matt|: there is, just no password-based access to it | 08:01 |
| Matt| | ah i c | 08:02 |
| maswan | Matt|: so it is sudo instead | 08:02 |
| bilb0 | thats a really nice feature | 08:02 |
| bilb0 | but is sudo based on password | 08:02 |
| bilb0 | or how do u then configure sudo user based privledges | 08:03 |
| whiprush | bah, the hoary meeting was a few hours ago right? | 08:03 |
| wannes | it's based on /etc/sudoers, and your _own_ password | 08:03 |

| whiprush | k, I'll just snag the log later then | 08:03 |
| whiprush | thx | 08:03 |
| bilb0 | yeah but by default u can't edit /etc/sudoers without root | 08:03 |
| Anna | Kamiion:so can run the same commands under gksudo as under sudo? | 08:03 |
| wannes | man sudoers, if you'd like to edit /etc/soduers, use visudo !!! | 08:03 |

| bilb0 | so they any user can gain root ?? | 08:04 |
| bilb0 | ahhh | 08:04 |
| wannes | nope | 08:04 |
| bilb0 | so u start off with a super user who has sudo | 08:04 |

| mwh_ | maybe it comes when ubuntu gets a new installer | 08:38 |
| Kamion | mwh_: the main problem is that the UI for that would be a bit of a nightmare | 08:39 |
| Kamion | (try pointing a new user at 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' and watch the reaction) | 08:40 |
| Kamion | mwh_: it's not something that the installer infrastructure makes much difference to | 08:40 |

| mwh_ | with deborphan and synaptic it seems like can remove libc6-i686, nothing depends on it, but I guess it would not be wise | 09:16 |
| Despair | Actually, you might be able to find some program that has performance dominated by 64bit pessimizations, and 32bit might be desirable there if it's something critical for you. And it's useful for benchmarking. | 09:16 |

| Matt| | Anna, in order to move a folder you need the command "mv" with the -R flag | 10:36 |
| Anna | no, I want to move my "emailfonts" folder into the 'truetype" folder (under fonts) | 10:36 |
| Matt| | so the command would be "mv -R A B" | 10:37 |
| Matt| | A being the source directory and B being the destination directory | 10:37 |
| Matt| | you are a bit confused about what sudo is i think | 10:37 |
| Anna | Ok, but isn't there a sign or letter in between source and destination | 10:37 |
| Matt| | Anna, nope | 10:37 |
| bob2 | Matt|: you don't need -R | 10:37 |

| Anna | No, I was thinking I can either use a normal terminal with the sudo addition to move a folder that must have root rights to be accessed, changed, or just use the root terminal and don't have to use sudo... Anyway, I wonder why I wasn't able to find such an easy Unix command... I got to the "mv" part, but the confusion persisted as the path thing wasn't explained | 10:41 |

| Kamion | buffalo: that does not include gaim and gnomemeeting ... | 11:20 |
| Kamion | buffalo: if you just want to install a custom desktop for yourself, remastering the CD is total overkill; just install custom and then install whatever you want with aptitude | 11:20 |
| Kamion | buffalo: or even do a default install and remove whatever you want to remove afterwards; there's no law that says you can't remove packages :-) | 11:21 |

| buffalo | Kamion: ok, got it, thanks (bob2 said the same thing) -- i was only interested in the CD remastering cuz I will be installing on multiple computers (it's a lab for high school girls) | 11:22 |
| Kamion | buffalo: ok, removing individual packages from the desktop is kind of difficult at the moment | 11:23 |
| Kamion | buffalo: you can do it by editing Packages files and removing some "Task: ubuntu-desktop" lines, but you have to be careful and you'll have to remember to update dists/warty/Release | 11:23 |

| buffalo | Kamion: np, for now, i don't mind installing full, and just manually removing the 5 or so packages i don't want from each pc | 11:24 |
| Kamion | siimo: we kicked off the project in April, released preview in September, released final in October | 11:24 |

| siimo | thats a lot of community in short period | 11:24 |
| bob2 | buffalo: fwiw, "dsh" + "apt-get remove gaim gnomemeeting..." can make that easier | 11:24 |

| bluefoxicy | i'm shooting in the dark here :) | 11:32 |
| bluefoxicy | the only distros i've used recently are Gentoo, Debian, . . . uhh. Yeah. | 11:32 |
| ogra | bluefoxicy: so youre prepared perfectly ;) | 11:33 |
| Kamion | Bohhh: I can't find any string like "failed to mount" anywhere relevant in d-i, so I need to know exactly what action you had just performed in the interface; for instance, the item you just selected from the menu would help | 11:33 |
| bluefoxicy | ogra: I plan on rocking the boat a bit, but I haven't even seen the boat :) | 11:34 |
| Bohhh | Kamion, i repeat | 11:34 |
| ogra | bluefoxicy: it's worth to be seen ;) | 11:34 |
| ogra | everywhere | 11:34 |
| bluefoxicy | ENGLISH, DO YOU SPEAK IT?! | 11:34 |
| bluefoxicy | :p | 11:34 |
| Bohhh | Kamion, the first access before "formatting" is to mount the device. right? the installer failed there | 11:35 |
| ogra | bluefoxicy: no i'm german *g* | 11:35 |
| bluefoxicy | ogra: ah, crap, I don't speak german. | 11:35 |
| Bohhh | Kamion, i will retry in few minutes, if you want | 11:35 |
| Kamion | Bohhh: um, no, the first access before formatting is typically not to mount the device, because the device will typically not be mountable | 11:35 |
| Kamion | Bohhh: if it produces a clearer bug report, yes :) | 11:35 |
| ogra | bluefoxicy: just kidding, in fact it's enough to cope with this channel ;) | 11:36 |
| Kamion | the partitioner only attempts to mount partitions after it's finished formatting any that need to be formatted | 11:36 |
| Bohhh | Kamion, it was "mounting" since i already formatted the partition by myself , since the installer failed many times before the last attempt | 11:37 |
| === soulreaper_ is now known as soulreaper | ||
| Kamion | the plot thickens | 11:37 |
| Kamion | so it wasn't formatting after all, even though you said it was? | 11:37 |
| bluefoxicy | ogra: heh. | 11:37 |
| Kamion | "as i said, i was in the process of formatting the partition" | 11:37 |

| Kamion | you mean you used the mkreiserfs command? | 11:40 |
| Bohhh | yes, i tried to make the fs from the installer before doing by myself from here | 11:41 |

| Bohhh | but i am not completely sure | 11:41 |
| Kamion | Bohhh: with what command? if you used /dev/hda5 or whatever, that file indeed does not exist in the installer environment | 11:41 |
| Kamion | you have to use /dev/discs/<whatever> | 11:41 |
| Bohhh | i tried both /dev/hda5 and the name the installer failed to access | 11:41 |
| Kamion | use ls, look in /dev/discs to see what's there | 11:41 |
| Bohhh | ok. i'll repeat everything | 11:42 |
| Kamion | thank you | 11:42 |
| Bohhh | ok, first step: i mkreiserfs'ed /dev/hda5 just fine from here now | 11:43 |
| Bohhh | so table is ok | 11:43 |
| Bohhh | i'll reboot in few minutes | 11:43 |
