kapputuno I don12:18

BrianB04Actually, maybe it's not finding the card...hrmmmm12:18
kapputuAMD 700Mhz is not 64 bit12:18

fscmdz, I didn't ask that. I asked if it was better02:02

daniels|trey|: yes, they will be probed via DDC if they aren't there.  we have to write them out to work around bugs in some systems (mainly iBook laptop panels, IIRC), but it's not based on the monitor's capabilities, only based around getting the selected resolution to work well.02:08

cugaarun--, yeah im definatly going nvidia next vid card07:32
arun--cuga: the ati drivers are ok for windows, but totally sux in linux, may get better, but ati doesnt support the open source world much i guess07:33
arun--cuga: but i also read somewhere that the Xorg server has better support for ati cards, i am not sure,07:33
arun--cuga: i am not an expert to install xorg and switch07:34
cugaarun--, well they made a statement that they are pushing their linux driver efforts to the limit now, they wanna get better drivers, i expect by start of next year they'll have a solid set out07:34
arun--cuga: may be i will wait untill ubuntu releases the next oficial version for xorg and may be a mini howto to switch from xfree :)07:34
cugawell next release will be built on xorg from what I understand so won't be hard at all ;)07:35

LinuxJonesaltan, ok you will have to specify your IP address on that card manually (don't use dhcp). I don't know what to tell you for the other issues your having.

amathisbob2, so where is the fscking window to re-enable it? I have fixed the driver problem04:05

altanwell, to me the things I really liked about Ubuntu were the Firefox integration, GNOME integration, and Synaptic. those things are doable on other distros if I really want to, and the main selling point was that it was a desktop-friendly Linux that was also lightweight in terms of the package selection05:06
rifficlol, funroll-loops.org got slashdotted05:07
altanI loved Ubuntu too until something messed up. GNOME often acted erratically, though. I'm wondering if this might have to do with the fact that I kept getting PnP BIOS warnings at startup no matter what my BIOS setting was05:07

topylituxx: i haven't logged in as root for years anyway on any linux system :)07:48
Treenaksbo: only if they have the password07:48
tuxxI find it a tad unsecure. If you crack one password u have access to the whole system. With root active u need to crack that too07:48
boso my acc has sudo-access07:48
Treenakstopyli: unless you start by cracking the root password, or find another "way in" as another user07:49
WWtuxx: But if you crack the root password...07:49
tuxxWW u have a point there07:49
tuxxIs sudo command the exact same is using root?07:50

HrdwrBoBwhat on earth is that11:51
HWolftopyli, my piont exactly. It'd be good to get it in as fast as possible, so you can test it for as long as possible.11:51
Matt|mdz, HrdwrBoB, that's right11:51
mirakmatt|, thnx :)_11:51
HWolfHow exactly do I check which mode my system is using?11:51
mdzMatt|: that's an ATI card.  try fglrx11:51
Matt|mdz, i have11:51
topylinictuku: hmmm... ubuntu work goes to debian also of course. i don't know who you should contact at the ubuntu team to talk about this11:51
kappututopyli: how about mdz ?11:52
[Phaedrus] apparently SGi has a driver called snap graphics which runs on top of X, if I read it correct11:52
Matt|:(11:52
nictukutopyli, i believe it should talk to daf11:52
HWolfphaedrus, don't you think XFree is a troublesome beast, so going to something new, which can at worst be XFree, and at best be better, would be a good thing?11:53
topylinictuku: well, mdz is around, daf is not :)11:53
mdzMatt|: X.org is likely to be a couple of weeks more; you can get by with tetris until then I think :-)11:53

topyliah, wisdom on the gnome mailing lists: NEVER ASSUME YOU ARE THE BEST.11:54
HWolfIs there any plan to get a graphical boot-up process in hoary? I don't want to see those errors. :-)11:54
kapputuI just wanted to ask that question11:54
mdzMatt|: it's in fairly good shape at the moment11:54
Matt|HWolf, i like the current install11:54
mirakmatt|, paste that path to me 1 more time plz?11:55
mdzMatt|: X.org will be some of the first major breakage11:55
[Phaedrus] HWolf: www.bootsplash.org11:55

Matt|dredg, now that is talking11:57
xenonite:)11:57
Matt|dredg, tell me all11:57
dredgim not using it now, i switched back to the packages cos rdesktop was acting a bit weird :)11:57
[Phaedrus] really dredg11:57
[Phaedrus] with all the extensions enabled?11:57
ograMatt|: if i got it myself to verify, yes.... but i'll wait till y.org is likely working11:57
miraklinuxjones, you around??11:57
ograx11:57
Matt|ogra, yeah guess so11:57
dredgyeah, including xcomposite11:57
[Phaedrus] acting a bit weird?11:58
topyliogra: heh11:58
HWolfI do not envy the guys that have to make sure XFree -> X.org goes smoothly. :-S11:58
[Phaedrus] you have to explain on that11:58
dredgtranslucency and shadows look pretty. pure eyecandy :) complete waste of resources but meh11:58
Matt|dredg, i tried to just compile the dri modules but it failed :(11:58
ogratopyli: you laugh about the y ?11:58
topyliogra: lets for x.org and make y11:58
ogra*g*11:58
dredg[Phaedrus] : screen wouldnt redraw right11:58
topylis/for/fork11:58
[Phaedrus] if we can be patient for just a coupel of weeks, X.org should be much safer11:58
mirakmatt|, thnx ever so much.......fixed my problem....11:58
ogratopyli: better berlin ;)11:58
Matt|Mirak pleasure11:58

HWolf[Pheadrus] : That site is exactly what I mean, but I'm not really looking forward to recompiling a kernel, so I'd love that in the default kernel. :-)11:58
[Phaedrus] rather than spending half my lifetime compiling that beast and compiling it again, it is just easier to wait11:59
topyliogra: YES! we have a decision!11:59
[Phaedrus] HWolf: just do it before you go to sleep..11:59
dredgthis was a pure experiment btw11:59
[Phaedrus] what machine do you have?11:59
spacey`kitopyli, i think there is a project called y already which is a "replacement" for X.11:59
Matt|yeah i heard that too11:59
nine99hi, where i can find a list of all the packages available with ubuntu ?11:59
topylispacey`ki: i know berlin, but haven't heard about y11:59
spacey`kihowever you probably want to stick with x;011:59
dredgwhats so good about Y?11:59
miraknine99, synaptic??11:59
