[01:14] <|trey|> kapputu, its like a message from god ;) [01:14] kapputu: yes, it's inhuman -- it's the borg :) [01:15] well to tell you the truth, though I was reading a lot about Ubuntu I was going to install Mandrake [01:15] and then I was lazy to download and burn 3 cds [01:15] LinuxJones - Forced it to use the DNS of my provider, in stead of fumbling. [01:15] so I decided to just burn Ubuntu [01:16] and man did I make a great decision !!

I want something that aims to be for me... [01:16] mandrake is cool though [01:16] probably [01:16] but I love ubuntu [01:16] I even installed it on my unsuspecting roommmate's machine [01:16] ubuntu is love [01:17] he likes it but can't get his soundcard detected [01:17] <[Phaedrus] > that's pure Evil kapputu... Evil with a capital E [01:17] <[Phaedrus] > haha [01:17] hehe, and what did he think? [01:17] <|trey|> kapputu, inside, he's prolly kinda pissed ;) [01:17] he is thinking of going back to windows :-( [01:17] nope [01:17] it's faster than his spyware, adware, virus ridden windows 2000 [01:17] but he wants sound to work [01:18] it's a 440BX onboard soundcard [01:18] any help ? [01:18] kapputu: so make his sound work. he can get a $20 soundblaster or whatever if the onboard chip is too sucky === kapputu is going to go around and install Ubuntu in all his friends' machines [01:18] <|trey|> kapputu, before he leaves entirely... have him try maybe Fedora... I like Ubuntu because it reminds me of Fedora and Debian, my prior fav distro's... [01:18] <[Phaedrus] > kapputu: anything is possible with the linux world... might require kernel compilation though [01:18] kapputu have u ever tried Mandrake? [01:18] yeah === |trey| has never liked Mandrake for some reason :( [01:19] but he has only 6GB and only about 3 Gig for Linux [01:19] |trey| how come? [01:19] ubuntu is the only distro I have used continously this long [01:19] i have used mandrake and debian all my life (well, not really) and they are both very cool [01:19] I like Mandrake better than FC/RH and Ubuntu better than Mandrake [01:19] I'm new to Ubuntu but have been using Mandrake for the past 3 years until yesterday [01:20] I started with RH 5 ?? [01:20] <|trey|> tuxx, too Windows-ee... I left windows cuz I don't like the interface... why would I go to Linux to put up with the same interface? [01:20] don't remember the version [01:20] wouldn't detect my video card [01:20] <|trey|> tuxx, other then the frontend, its just another lsb complient distro though :/ [01:20] kapputu: redhat sucks too much, i've never been able to look at it for long, except when i started with 5.x and didn't have much choise [01:20] yeah same here [01:20] I switched to Mandrake 2 years back [01:20] tried FC but din't use it much [01:20] |trey| You've got a point however no one prohibits the use of Fluxbox on MDK.. not much KDE-eye candy left then :) [01:21] ok my roommate is not going to spend a penny when he can get sound working in Windows [01:21] <|trey|> tuxx, I am talking about little things like the menu... its just not logical enough for me... [01:21] kapputu let him [01:21] <|trey|> its a lower learning curve for windows users, but its idiotic to me... [01:21] |trey| I don't get that.. the menu where? [01:21] tuxx: mandrake supports gnome and E quite nicely. you don't have to use kde. i never even installed kde on my mandrake boxen [01:21] but I have to configure his network in Windows [01:22] and I dont want to use Windows [01:22] <|trey|> tuxx, the application menu... [01:22] topyli yeah [01:22] |trey| is it the same menu in KDE as within Fluxbox? [01:22] <|trey|> tuxx, yup... [01:22] kapputu who want's to use Windows? And who's forced to it? [01:23] my roommate [01:23] tuxx: in mandrake? they have an universal menu system now, ported from debian [01:23] |trey| hmmm... sure? [01:23] he might be forced to, if he can't get his sound card configured [01:23] <|trey|> tuxx, umm, I used to use KDE, then XFce4, then more and more GNOME since 2.6 though... [01:23] he uses his PC mainly to browse and listen to music === carger314 [~carger314@ip68-228-44-118.tc.ph.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu [01:23] I've only used Fluxbox most of the time and never modded the menu in KDE so I did not knew it was the same [01:23] kapputu: he needs a browser-based kiosk system based on debian stable :) [01:23] his windows is fucked up but he wants to go back to it since ubuntu couldnt detect his soundcard [01:24] kapputu what soundcard? [01:24] onboard 440 BX [01:24] it's an old Dell machine, [01:24] P-II 400 [01:24] <|trey|> kapputu, if you want help.... lspci | grep Audio [01:24] kapputu hmm.. Maybe Mandrake works? [01:24] kapputu: see if knoppix finds the card, then check what module it's using [01:24] and when I removed his windows 2000 it had about 24 spyware apps loading on startup [01:24] Speaking of menus.. how do I edit the one in Gnome 2.8/Ubuntu? [01:25] yeah I was going to do that [01:25] kapputu Mandrake as always been nice to me [01:25] actually to get him initiated into linux, I gave him knoppix and let him use it for a while [01:25] <|trey|> tuxx, /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders <-- look around those files... [01:25] now Ubuntu is nice to me. === HWolf [~hidde@136.120.dynamic.phpg.net] has joined #ubuntu [01:25] <|trey|> needs a frontend...

All my problems are gone. :-) [01:26] kapputu i Mandrake? [01:26] yes [01:26] HWolf: praise the $DEITY! [01:26] kapputu select them at installation-point :) [01:26] <|trey|> kapputu, should get rid of Knoppix, and install Ubuntu Live CD (formerly Gnoppix) [01:26] no he has ubuntu now |trey| [01:26] <[Phaedrus] > HWolf: this might be the moment to brace yourself for impact [01:26] kapputu: you just don't know how :) [01:26] <[Phaedrus] > usually when you think its all gone, its just gaining speed :) [01:26] <|trey|> kapputu, I mean if he wants to go back to Windows :) [01:27] no I'm lazy [01:27] *g* [01:27] <[Phaedrus] > what were your problems anwyays? [01:27] he needs to listen to music from some website which opens up a player in the browser [01:27] Now, my only problem is that I can't kill windows, since I sell software that is functional and windows-only. :-) [01:27] kapputu what web?

[01:30] <[Phaedrus] > tuxx: apparently its onboard [01:30] Man, that's an awesome programme on that screenshot. :-) [01:30] kapputu: go to his room and say WAKE UP! MY LINUX GEEK FRIENDS ON IRC MIGHT WANNA HELP US [01:30] sound card not recognized at all [01:30] |trey| - Multiverse? what is that? [01:30] no he is not here [01:30] <[Phaedrus] > it is.. isnt it... sort of like Samurize for windows [01:30] <|trey|> Yo, Synaptics > Settings > Repository ... the one that says Multiverse, check it... [01:30] anyway |trey| lspci returned nothing [01:30] kapputu ok that's out of my league sorry. [01:31] <|trey|> Yo, uhh, you want Universe... but add the word "Multiverse" there.... [01:31] kapputu: so as far as linux is concerned, he has no sound card :( [01:31] kapputu, it's probably an isa card [01:31] yep topyli [01:31] <|trey|> kapputu, umm, 'lspci' paste a line that states sound or audio... [01:31] |trey| - hmm synaptics ? where i find that? === restrex [~restrex@216.155.93.237.DSL.surnet.cl] has joined #ubuntu [01:31] yeah very probable [01:31] <[Phaedrus] > kapputu: do you know how to compile a kernel? [01:31] i can learn [01:31] kapputu: time to go shopping for old sound blasters [01:31] <|trey|> Yo, Computer > System COnfiguration [01:31] Yo: Computer->Sytem Tools [01:32] <|trey|> ogra, shush ;) [01:32] kapputu, you friend can but a sb live value for like 10 dollars :) [01:32] kapputu: listen to LinuxJones === effoo [~gas@166.70.187.134] has left #ubuntu [] [01:32] <[Phaedrus] > Kapputu: Do your friend a favor and get him a new soundcard [01:33] yeah new card! [01:33] I have a spare Conexant riptide sound card [01:33] <[Phaedrus] > you can pick up an okay card for less than 20$ [01:33] any good ? [01:33] kapputu try that [01:33] <[Phaedrus] > is it PCI? [01:33] yeah [01:33] <[Phaedrus] > alright, give it a shot [01:33] kapputu: i bought a _new_ sb 128 pci for i-dont-remember-but-it-did-not-matter [01:33] i get a error when i run symnaptic [01:33] <|trey|> [Phaedrus] , that doesn't solve his current problem... don't say pointless comments... [01:33] can i send you a private? [01:33] <|trey|> Yo, what does it say? [01:33] topyli yeah descent cards cost *nothing* [01:33] that's right [01:33] restrex, ask here someone else might be having the same problem :) [01:33] <[Phaedrus] > |trey| it wouldnt be worth the hazzle to try to plug in a ISA card, you know [01:33] ok :) [01:34] any suggestions on where I can buy one ? [01:34] Failed to run usr-sbin-synaptic as root: child procces ended with 1 [01:34] if it's around 10 dollars or so I can convince him to buy one [01:34] <|trey|> [Phaedrus] , 'get new hardware' is the worst thing you can possible say in linux support... [01:34] Yo: what pw did you give it ? [01:35] <[Phaedrus] > |trey|: I already found the drivers for his card and posted it to him in PM, but that's going to require recompiling the kernel [01:35] well, i want to instal apache::gallery http://freshmeat.net/projects/gallery/ but i don't know how to mont a webserver, i have installed ubuntu only for mount a webserver and install that script [01:35] <|trey|> [Phaedrus] , good job :) [01:35] i get it, it worked fine when i run it from console [01:35] |trey|: so true. sb 128, good old matrox video cards... [01:35] <[Phaedrus] > thanks trey:) *phew* finally approved :) [01:35] Yo: give it your user pw, it will work ;) [01:36] how can i mount a server, i have to download all that the page of apache gallery says? [01:36] is there a tutorial on how to compile the kernel or you guys will help me out ? [01:36] Yo: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo [01:37] <|trey|> [Phaedrus] , I still say telling him to spend more money is a bad idea though... think about it, Windows or OS X *WORKED* on _this_ hardware... it just makes Linux/BSD/etc look bad :( [01:37] restrex: you have to describe the problem. i don't know how to "mount a web server" either :) what are you trying to do and how do you fail? [01:38] mm ok [01:38] <[Phaedrus] > |trey| I am sure it is possible to make it work... and i would guide him through it, if it was his computer... when its a friend's computer, it can get hard to sit there and let the compilation run for a few hours [01:38] <|trey|> [Phaedrus] , most don't mind a little hard work... but not working on current hardware is out of the question... [01:38] |trey|, so learning how to compile a new kernel as opposed to spending 10 dollars for something that will work out of the box is somethign that you would recommend ? [01:38] well [01:38] i have to install apache mod_perl, and another things [01:38] <|trey|> LinuxJones, 95% of the time, yes... [01:38] restrex: ok, as gallery dependencies [01:38] |trey|, heh [01:38] yes [01:38] :) [01:39] well [01:39] i have downloaded perl, but [01:39] :S [01:39] <|trey|> LinuxJones, if they have heard of Linux, the are probably substantial enough of a geek to actuall know somewhat what they are doing... just needing to be pointed in the right direction... others I usually ignore... [01:40] restrex: hold on. are you using apt or installing all of this from source? [01:41] |trey|, compiling a kernel is not something that I would recommend to somebody who knows little about it. It would be a great learning experience yes but it's not his computer :) [01:41] sorry i didn't undersatnd you :S [01:41] |trey|: youre crazy [01:41] <|trey|> LinuxJones, learning experiance? I disagree... watching text fly by the screen teaches you little... other then an appreciation for distro maintainers... [01:41] restrex: did you do 'apt-get install gallery' or use synaptic -- or are you downloading packages from their own sources? [01:41] <[Phaedrus] > heh === altan [~altan@212.253.13.235] has joined #ubuntu [01:42] i don't know how to install perl, i have downloaded perl tar but i uncompressed it, but i don't know how to follow [01:42] <[Phaedrus] > i remember giving up linux once, just cause i couldnt put up with kernel compilation [01:42] yes [01:42] restrex: use synaptic or apt-get, and life will be easy for you :) [01:42] |trey|: most people want to drive their cars, they dont want to know how to change spark plugs or repairing cludges [01:43] restrex: apt-get install gallery [01:43] trey: not everybody wants to dick around with their system just for the sake of dicking around with it [01:43] <|trey|> ogra, true, but today, those people would be unlikely to even have heard of linux ;) [01:43] fsc: really? === holger [~holger@pD956ED9E.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu [01:43] topyli, is this a shock to you?

[01:51] <[Phaedrus] > topyli: that's why you need two systems... atleast :) [01:51] HWolf, not sure. maybe the 2d acceleration is better, but probably not noticeable [01:51] fsc, what wireless card are you using? [01:51] HWolf: your screensavers look better...noting ele [01:51] <[Phaedrus] > or just a shelf full of books to read, while it compiles [01:52] else [01:52] fsc: now you get to explain this ndiswrapper thing to me. it seems to be in fashion :) [01:52] Nothing smoother on the desktop? [01:52] you will get full 3D acceleration (modulo S3TC, which you can patch in externally if you're adventurous) for all ATI cards up to 9200 (i.e. all r1xx/r2xx chipsets) with the free drivers [01:52] [Phaedrus] : yes === merhojt [~merhojt@h67n2fls35o989.telia.com] has joined #ubuntu [01:52] in terms of quality and ease of use, fglrx is crap, so you should steer clear of it unless you really, really need it. [01:53] HWolf: i think the 2d support of the oss drivers is ok [01:53] even then, start from the point of view of 'i do not need this driver'. [01:53] asdf_46, i've got a linksys with the RealTek 8180 chipset [01:53] every 2D card on the market is supported by the free drivers [01:53] <|trey|> daniels, would you happen to have test packages of the new xserver? [01:53] I've got a 9200se, so it would probably not be worth it then. [01:53] topyli, you grab your windows wireless drivers and ndiswrapper wraps them up to a linux interface [01:53] |trey|: dude, still no. we'll tell you when hoary is ready for general use, and when there are test x.org packages around (we wouldn't keep it quiet if we wanted testers). === go [~go@cpe-069-133-048-201.cinci.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu [01:54] HWolf: yah, just stick with the radeon driver unless you desperately need texture compression [01:54] fsc: ahh, sounds pretty handy [01:54] And as soon as I've got money, i'm going nvidia. [01:54] daniels: is there a page for widescreen laptop configs, i had a weird support today [01:54] <|trey|> daniels, I am using hoary... mdz kinda told me I could... sorry [01:54] i think there are 2.6.x native linux drivers for my chipset now, but the guy over at RealTek was taking a long time to get them out, and the 2.4.x drivers weren't all that hot. you could only use 2.4.20 kernel and below for an odd reason === topyli thinks ati and nvidia are windows cards [01:54] HWolf: and yes, it can break your X. you can revert back to the standard driver -- it's not permanent or anything -- but it's not guaranteed to work by any measure. [01:55] topyli: not in the least. [01:55] topyli, windows cards? [01:55] ogra: not really; what problem did you have? [01:55] daniels: hoary is ready for general use; we sent out an announcement to that effect [01:55] <|trey|> daniels, just don't see it... was wondering if there was a seperate repo for current work :( [01:55] mdz: ho hum [01:55] ahh damn [01:55] where 'general' means "I don't mind if it breaks" [01:55] topyli, whatch you smoking? there are drivers for ATI and Nvidia [01:55] this site www.raaga.com works only for Netscape and IE [01:55] <|trey|> mdz, thank you :) [01:55] fsc: well, matrox never gave me any trouble [01:55] I'll just go and see if I can get my tv-tuner working. [01:55] fsc: and yes, i am smoking :) [01:55] topyli, Nvidia nor ATI have ever given me trouble on linux [01:55] mdz: right [01:56] kapputu: i suggest you report that to the webmasters of raaga.com [01:56] dnaiels: i didnt, a guy in the channel: http://www.pastebin.com/115266 he had only 800x600 .... [01:56] <|trey|> Netscape compatible = Gecko = Mozilla compatible... [01:56] fsc: you get to download drivers, like in windows (if you have an ati or nvidia card) [01:56] ? [01:56] whoo, canonical wakes up *g* [01:56] fsc: and you pray that they'll work [01:56] topyli, so because you have to download the drivers, it makes them windows cards? what kind of bizarro logic is that? === theantix [~ryan@80.198.novustelecom.net] has joined #ubuntu [01:57] |trey|: when X.org is ready for testing, we'll send out a message about it asking for testers [01:57] fsc: you don't know if and how they'll work, that's the point [01:57] daniels, I did [01:57] topyli: as I said before, all cards are fully supported with 2D, and the 3D support ranges up reasonably. [01:57] Is anyone aware of any drivers for the Pinnacle PCTV Rave? [01:57] topyli, I pray that I don't have to use a crappy ass Matrox card ever [01:57] mdz, are there any significant improvements in X.org right now? [01:57] ogra: 'Unknown post id, it may have been deleted'; do you still have the details? [01:57] |trey|, Windows says the soundcard is Crystal PnP [01:57] <|trey|> mdz, sounds good... just thought I would ask as he was here :) [01:57] is that any good ? [01:57] topyli, I've never had problems with Nvidia or ATI. I already told you that [01:57] anyway, guys, these video card holy wars are off-topic heer. [01:57] yep.... i mail it to you... if you dont mind [01:57] this is #ubuntu, not #videovendorbloodbath. [01:57] topyli, get your facts straight [01:57] fsc: we disagree. i work, i need great video cards. matrox makes them [01:58] <|trey|> kapputu, google 'Crystal Audio Linux" [01:58] ogra: cheers, that'd be great -- daniel.stone@canonical.com [01:58] HWolf: it has a few new features, but it's actually much closer to what we already have than most people seem to think [01:58] daniels: you're right [01:58] Hey topyli, anything new from Matrox lately? [01:58] judging from the clamor [01:58] HWolf: there is Composite, which is still pretty experimental, and a lot more hardware support, but we've already backported almost all the hardware support, so it's alright [01:58] daniels: i know ;) (who doesnt *g*) [01:58] BrianB04: no need ;) === go is a ghey [01:59] How about faster. I'd rather see fast then features. Unless we're talking full transparancy. :-D === poin__t [~point@203.130.197.109] has joined #ubuntu [01:59] ogra: heh [01:59] Seeing as how I am not going full bore into pro photography, I need good good quality images... [02:00] <|trey|> mdz, its just that people are being told "XFREE IS EVIL AND BAD, FEAR IT FOR YOUR OWN SAKE" so general users see xserver-xfree86 and shudder... I would like to try what is considered the "modular branch" but have yet to see one that is packaged :( [02:00] HWolf, said Composite allows for full transparency, as well as more useful features [02:00] mmm.....composite [02:00] *goes to google* === Ghent19 [~posthums@pcp09048031pcs.rocsth01.mi.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [02:00] HWolf: yes, full and flexible transparency is supported (keithp has a hacked up xterm where the background casts a shadow of far lighter intensity than the individual fonts with a decent compmgr), but it's not too quick yet. [02:00] <|trey|> HWolf, google is like god... it knows all :) [02:00] |trey|: the people who are telling them that need to stop doing it [02:00] so Hoary switched over to X.org? [02:01] fsc: not yet, but it will [02:01] |trey|: the modular branch is still lagging the monolithic branch in some aspects; myself and the rest of upstream are working on merging the two in our own time, however. [02:01] fsc: not yet, but it will [02:01] |trey|, should I modprobe cs4235 ? === daniels stares at mdz. [02:01] <|trey|> daniels, is keith working close to Ubuntu? [02:01] |trey|: keith is doing other things right now [02:01] <|trey|> kapputu, if thats whats returned, yes [02:01] <|trey|> mdz, *points at redhat* [02:01] mdz: i suspect he was talking about the general fear of xfree86 -- it's irrevocably tainted as an organisation, and most people associate X.Org with shiny things [02:01] daniels: will moving to x.org be a disaster for those who track hoary? [02:02] mdz: it's kind of inevitable, no matter whether or not we have >300,000 lines of patches [02:02] <|trey|> daniels, just aware that he is a dd... would be nice to have him on board too 8) [02:02] daniels, my question is if it's really better? X.org vs XFree86 that is [02:02] fsc: it's the way forward [02:02] topyli: absolutely not. if your configuration doesn't get migrated perfectly, or if there are any regressions, you get to report a bug [02:02] mdz, I didn't ask that. I asked if it was better [02:02] |trey|, you think this would need a kernel recompile ? [02:02] fsc: it allows to trim our patchset from >300,000 lines to hopefully within the 5,000-10,000 mark, once we start merging with upstream [02:02] <|trey|> topyli, all problems with the transaction will be considered bugs afaik [02:02] fsc: then scroll back a page or two and read the answer [02:03] daniels: i mean the transition from xfree to x.org -- is it very painful? [02:03] |trey|: yeah. he's not working on X stuff right now, though; he's working on another window system as a HP research project and is busy with his kids in his spare time. [02:03] daniels, nice [02:03] topyli: if it is, you get to report a bug [02:03] <|trey|> kapputu, no, just type modprobe cs4235 and maybe restart X... [02:03] Is there anywhere where I can read some more about it? [02:03] topyli: put it this way -- if my mum dist-upgrades to hoary, she shouldn't notice [02:03] daniels: mail sent ;) [02:03] ogra: thanks dude [02:03] <|trey|> daniels, thats cool :) === BrianB04 tries to figure out where that noise came from. [02:04] <|trey|> kapputu, echo cs4235 >> /etc/modules if you don't want to keep doing that... [02:04] I'll make it a bit more clear still: X.org is a continuation of an XFree86 snapshot and as such has essentially the same configuration file format and friends, so there's not really a lot of places for migration trouble [02:04] daniels: nicely put =) [02:04] after installing nvidia drivers I cannot use xmms. [02:05] amathis, there is bug for that [02:05] ogra: if you could tell him to remove HorizSync/VertRefresh from his config file next time you see him, that would be great, thanks [02:06] mjr: (and xfree86 is a continuation of an x.org [well, ok, not the foundation, but close enough] snapshot; can anyone say 'full circle'?0 [02:06] <|trey|> daniels, why is that a good idea? will be automagically detected if they are gone?

[11:34] linux_mafia, the idea of using xorg in hoary [11:35] Is there a simple way to install all header files (-dev packages) of currently installed packages? When I compile stuff myself, often support for certain libs is not enable, while the lib is installed (without headers) [11:35] I was disappointed when I know that the drop shadow in X.Org is not blur. === dml [~dml@ppp226-199.lns1.bne1.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:35] Matt|, no, i assume its still coming, ubuntu is based on debian, debian does not use xorg either [11:36] linux_mafia, oh. the main reason of changing would have been that.

[04:34] I am a dev on the stupid project.. I should know. [04:34] bob2, how didn't I? I knew it couldn't find SDL.h or Gl.h.. what I wanted to know is, what app took those headers out? [04:34] amathis: the cause was you not installing it. [04:34] amathis: they were never in [04:34] but this discussion is pointless. [04:35] ogra, bob2, I remember installing them. I also compiled this yesterday just fine.. [04:35] glad you have it working, and do you know about http://packages.debian.org/? very handy. [04:35] thank you for telling me about nvidia-glx-dev because mesa3d didn't like nvidia-glx [04:36] yes, they conflict because they provide the same files [04:36] most debian libs have a -dev variant, amathis === wims [~wims@ti211310a080-0628.bb.online.no] has joined #ubuntu === ogra scratches head [04:36] note that you can't build useful software for other people with the nvidia-glx instealled, tho [04:36] I still want to know what install removed libsdl.

I logged out, and a window popped up saying that my graphical login would be disabled, and it took me to CLI.. when I logged in, I typed startx and it worked great.. everything seems to work now except I have to re-enable the graphical login.. that is what the window said to do if I fixed the pro [04:40] blem [04:40] timello: did you refresh your package list ? === ToTo [~ToTo@82.52.77.7] has joined #ubuntu [04:41] cuga: it's just a normal web page here [04:41] bob2: oh sorry, i thought you typoed sourceforge wrong and put soureforge instead of sourcefrog and it comes up with a page that doesn't look like its friendly [04:41] bob2, so my question is.. where is the little app that will let you enable graphical login/change picture etc. [04:41] amathis: you remember asking me how to disable graphical login last week ? i do [04:41] ogra, yes, in my sources.list I have, warty and universe [04:41] cuga: right [04:41] bob2: sourcefrog works fine [04:41] ogra, I installed ubuntu last night dude...

[05:06] well, 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 selection [05:07] lol, funroll-loops.org got slashdotted [05:07] I loved Ubuntu too until something messed up. GNOME often acted erratically, though.

[07:46] ok, the thing is that without root, linux is more easy for users, right? [07:46] tuxx: sudo X -version [07:47] bo: and more secure [07:47] bo: (and logging..) [07:47] XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 here. Thanks [07:47] grml, now i don't know how to work [07:47] how to mount [07:47] how to change rootfiles [07:47] bo: sudo [07:47] tuxx: but i bet they put in a patch or two :) [07:47] bo: it's all on this page: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo [07:48] topyli no doubt :) [07:48] By the way what's the generel oppion here about the standard noroot ? [07:48] If someone gets control of a user account with sudo access they affectively have access to root [07:48] tuxx: i haven't logged in as root for years anyway on any linux system :) [07:48] bo: only if they have the password [07:48] I 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 too [07:48] so my acc has sudo-access [07:49] topyli: unless you start by cracking the root password, or find another "way in" as another user [07:49] tuxx: But if you crack the root password... [07:49] WW u have a point there [07:50] Is sudo command the exact same is using root? [07:50] tuxx: root is the only user you can _know_ for sure to exist. so you'll try cracking that one [07:50] topyli hmmm yeah good point [07:50] the command SUDO has a file where is said witch command are allowed for witch person... hwo chages this file? [07:50] bo: visudo === telemaco [~telemaco@80.103.235.50] has left #ubuntu [] [07:51] btw.. what's with the standard uid/gid 1000 ? I'm used to 501, 502 and so forth. [07:51] bo: man sudoers will explain [07:51] bo: visudo [07:51] tuxx: I have never seen a system with 501 as start. :) [07:51] tuxx: When was your last install? 1995? :D [07:51] bo: that starts an editor with the /etc/sudoers file [07:52] tuxx: debian way is 1000 [07:52] bo: which checks it before saving, so you can't really break it easlily [07:52] instead of visudo [07:52] + SuSE way [07:52] just type -> sudo echo "username ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL " >> /etc/sudoers [07:52] where username is your account name [07:53] Tomcat_ try Mandrake :-) [07:53] ehhh [07:53] Tomcat_: oh. i have no suse experience. i'm blessed that way :) [07:53] stay away from mandrake [07:53] I only work on some SuSE at work... thank god.

[07:54] c0w: mandrake is a very cool system imo. besides debian, it's the only distro that seems reasonably sane to me :) [07:54] So I've changed my ubuntu-users uid/gid to the same as on the other systems === vincent [~vincent@bonnefoy-3-82-224-105-22.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu === anders_ [~anders@mp-217-202-215.daxnet.no] has joined #ubuntu [07:54] Are there any disadvantages doing that?

[08:43] dredg, you tell me :-P http://rafb.net/paste/results/y1wStz99.html [08:43] netmonk: suspend-to-ram wont work, only suspend-to-disk [08:43] WW, if I try to install totem-xine, it wants to remove totem-gstreamer, and with it ubuntu-desktop [08:43] AlohaWulf: oh come on :) `ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled' [08:43] does anyone of you has been able to make all is hardware work properly on Ubuntu ? [08:43] yes xine worked for me too [08:44] yes me ;D [08:44] hope: yeah, but i buy hardware which i *know* will work [08:44] Hope, i'm still working on my tv-tuner, which doesn't give sound. :-S [08:44] xenonite, how can I tweak it to use suspend to disk? [08:44] netmonk: this i dont know. how many mb of ram do you have? [08:45] 256 [08:45] HWolf: Right--totem-xine replaces totem-gstreamer. And ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package. Removing it shouldn't be a problem. [08:45] Well, then I'll do it the hard way... [08:45] dredg, http://rafb.net/paste/results/245eZR52.html [08:45] ...c y later boys [08:45] ok so it might be faster loading and saving those 256 mb to disk than booting everytimes [08:45] HWolf: If you don't want to do that, I can say that ogle works fine for me :) [08:45] dredg, HWolf: my problem is with the soundcard of my laptop, which is working properly with other distributions [08:45] ooh, new wikki is up [08:45] dredg, it does appear to be correct, but it doesnt appear to be working [08:45] *cheers* [08:46] AlohaWulf: and `ls -ld ~/public_html' [08:46] xenonite, how can i do it [08:46] dredg, huh? [08:46] WW, what exactly does ubuntu-desktop do? [08:46] brb [08:46] AlohaWulf: that looks correct. public_html must be world readable [08:46] has anyone done a "log in" to the new wiki (www.ubuntulinux.com/wiki)recently? log in may be broken, also the lost password feature. [08:47] it ought to be, it and the directory above it are set 777 [08:47] AlohaWulf: and you have an index page in there? :) [08:47] yes [08:47] odd [08:47] anything in the error logs? === Mojo_Jojo [~Mojo@d205-250-56-39.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu === g-remy [~chatzilla@lns-vlq-17f-81-56-171-105.adsl.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:48] HWolf: Someone else could probably explain this better, but here goes. ubuntu-desktop is basically an "empty" package, but it depends on an assortment of "real" packages that ubuntu considers to be integral parts of the desktop. [08:48] xenonite, thank you java works now :D [08:48] HWolf: If you remove ubuntu-desktop, it will NOT remove all those dependencies. [08:48] didnt think to check those.. where are the located [08:48] I noticed. :-) [08:49] AlohaWulf: /var/log/apache2 [08:49] Just a warning, touch this and you touch ubuntu's core. :-) [08:49] Mojo_Jojo: cool :) [08:50] netmonk: it might be very difficult [08:50] Does this mean I can remove all those gstreamer packages? [08:50] HWolf: you can, but you'll de-install everythingt that depends on them [08:50] HWolf: so you'll probably be better of running plain Debian then... [08:50] xenonite, ??? [08:50] HWolf: I'm not sure, but I don't think so. For example, I think gstream0.8-mad is needed by apps that want to read mp3s. [08:51] WW: only apps that use gstreamer as a backedn [08:51] netmonk: sorry i dont know how, i can suggest you some howtos to do it [08:51] backend too [08:51] Treenaks, no. I like Debian, but I don't like the debian community at all. === SmokingFire [~christian@ashanti.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu [08:51] hi all [08:51] ok I have another question, I was reading the ubuntu BinaryDriverHowTo and it said there was a bug with xmms when I install the nvdia diver.

[08:52] SmokingFire: Are you using warty, or were you brave enough to try hoary? [08:52] SmokingFire: (.xsession-errors) [08:53] WW: using hoary since a few hours (did the sources.list search an replace and they smart upgrade) [08:53] Treenaks: were can I find the session error? [08:53] SmokingFire: There was a thread in the mailing list about synaptic breaking in hoary. [08:54] WW: so its apt-get until its fixed [08:54] Is there anyone here with a tv-tuner? [08:55] SmokingFire: I didn't follow the thread, so I don't know if it was resolved. Check out the archive, or the maybe the mailing-list mirror in the ubuntu forum.

[08:56] hrm [08:56] bo ist already registered [08:56] HWolf: yeah [08:56] As long as it works under some other OS properly [08:56] Treenaks: there is very long list in the .xsession-errors file but most are from synaptic and they all (as far as I have seen now) start like this: (synaptic:24979): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL (The number changes) [08:57] Robertj, where do I do that? [08:57] But if your router is using a b0rk version of dhcp, it would be a good things for others to know [08:57] I'm on a fibre network. [08:57] HWolf where do you live? [08:57] Rotterdam, the Netherlands. [08:58] HWolf: where at, University? [08:58] Student building, I'm an BA student at Erasmus University yes. [08:58] and your on DHCP? [08:58] kapputu did ya get the router fixed? [08:58] jow is the mixer called in ubuntu? [08:59] liferea, nautilus and pan all print out the same error in the x.session-errors log.

There is a cable going from card to audigy. :-) [09:20] ok [09:20] then first step is turn up all the mixers and unmute [09:20] I've got Aslamixergui open, and everything set to green, exept analog out. === mirak_ [~mirak@adsl-68-74-28-228.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu [09:21] hmms [09:21] if i'm connecting to a windows shared printer [09:22] should I need the drivers on this end?

[09:38] it isnt repsonding to the keyboard [09:38] tuxx, on one machine, I installed warty, got evo working, then updated to hoary, and things worked. [09:39] does ubuntu active ssh on boot?

[10:06] robertj: i see.... === flubber [~faaf@Mix-Poitiers-111-3-76.w80-9.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu [10:07] ogra: I remember my first experience with linux was very bad because it involved editing a config file that crashed the daemon in question because of wrong line-ending styles [10:07] its one more skill most users will hopefully never need [10:07] WW: it could call for the debian flash installer, mscorefonts, java-package as needed/wanted === searcher [~searcher@ambeon.demon.nl] has joined #ubuntu [10:07] robertj: i remember such things too ;) [10:08] i forget such things instantly [10:08] and make the same mistakes again [10:08] WW, if you could find it, libranet has lots of its stuff under gpl, we could just put it in the wiki (for now) [10:09] anyone had any problems with 'lock screen' ? [10:09] as in it being slow or not workin? [10:09] robertj: your address ? mail is ready.... [10:09] rcaskey @ NOSPAM uga.edu [10:09] (is this channel logged to the net?) [10:10] %s/net/web/g [10:10] heh [10:10] dunno [10:10] plovs: I've never really looked at the guts of Adminmenu (lots of perl scripts, I think), so I don't know much about it... other than it is a very convenient, user-friendly feature. [10:10] there is someone called wartylog ... hmm [10:10] thus the nospam ;) === cprov [~cprov@200-206-134-238.async.com.br] has joined #ubuntu [10:11] you have it? you could mail it to me === HWolf [~hidde@136.22.dynamic.phpg.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:11] robertj: sent ... === silbs [~sbsm0084@host217-44-166-108.range217-44.btcentralplus.com] has left #ubuntu [] [10:11] for WW [10:11] Why do so many packages rely on 'laptop-detect'? [10:11] mk, i have to say: ubuntu rocks! (also because its a debian :P) [10:11] ogre: thank you much [10:11] WW: if you have libranet somewhere, you could check the adminmenu license [10:12] WW: i've only seen screenshots but it seems very cool [10:12] plovs: there is a debian package for flash (just a downloader) ... i think this could be done for java too [10:12] ogra: there's java-package which makes a deb out of sun's java. but it doesn't download it [10:12] plovs: I have Libranet on my laptop. The computer I'm using now used to be Libranet, but evil parted mangled my reiserfs partition, and then I installed ubuntu instead of reinstalling Libranet. [10:13] topl: so with a little extensoin it could ;) [10:13] yes [10:13] WW, it would be interisting to take a look at it the stuf in Adminmenu [10:14] ogra: and there's msttcorefonts, which is kinda similar === SmokingFire [~christian@ashanti.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu [10:14] yes msttcorefonts is also missing in ubuntu [10:14] topl: there one could steal the download code *g* [10:14] topyli [10:14] yes! [10:15] and there's the realplayer installer, but currently i think it installs rp8 [10:15] plovs: I can't do it now, but maybe this week. By the way, Libranete 2.8.1 is currently available for free... if you have a computer to install it on. [10:15] r10 has an rpm, could be repackaged [10:15] ah [10:16] WW, i like ubuntu, besides it would take too much time, i rather type in the wiki [10:16] ogra: but there might be a problem distributing the package [10:16] we should only have an installer [10:16] topyli: hmm, probably we could send it back to real for distribution [10:17] ogra: yes, they do seem friendly these days [10:17] won't do much harm to offer a deb beside the rpm that already exists [10:17] plovs: Right. Nothing worth installing just to look at a few files! [10:18] s/Nothing/Not/ [10:18] WW, yeah, ubuntu works ok === lml [~lml@213.237.25.85.adsl.oebr.tiscali.dk] has left #ubuntu [] === disciple [~disciple@cpc2-bagu2-4-0-cust59.bagu.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu [10:19] ogra: I need /etc/apt/sources.list from a default install [10:19] not the wiki contents ;) [10:19] I'm trying to install gaim-vv but when trying to compile libphone-im I get an error message that gdk is not installed or not in the path. [10:20] I looked in synaptic and the only packages that are called gdk and that are not installed are frameworks for ruby and python. === nictuku [nictuku@nictuku.user] has joined #ubuntu [10:21] robertj: i'll send it...

"African" is very unprecise. [10:27] nict: Yeah, we can just change it to say it's from the Dark Continent [10:27] lol [10:28] a joke? :P [10:28] ogra, thanks, yes. [10:29] It does say South African not? === protocol [~protocol@ool-182d535e.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:29] that already something [10:29] hey all [10:29] SmokingFire: "South African" is not a language! [10:30] South Africa has only existed for like what, 60 years? [10:30] I thought it was mentioned the word was from Zulu, no? [10:30] I know. I know at least three languages that people speak their: Zulu, Xhosa and English. [10:30] tolstoy: That's what I heard. === loffe [~loffe@h238n2fls31o984.telia.com] has left #ubuntu [] [10:30] I'm switching to an amd-athlon kernel, wish me luck. [10:30] hmm... anyone know how to get .Xresources to work? [10:30] HWolf, how do you go about doing that? [10:30] good luck [10:31] HWolf: have a nice kernel panic ;) [10:31] HWolf, I was just looking for it in the package listings. Say K7. [10:31] tolstroy, sorry. :-) [10:31] smokingfire, don't you scare me!

[10:32] was hoping a kernel switch would fix evolution. desperate here. === GotD0t [~GotD0t@24.48.147.43] has joined #ubuntu [10:32] tolstoy: why should a kernel affect evo ? [10:33] actually it mentions Zulu. But Zulu should be used in the phrase "Ubuntu is an African word..." in the FAQ, IMHO. [10:33] ogra, no idea. was doing strace to see why I can't get past the new-account gui. seems to stop on a write. [10:33] tolstoy: permissions checked in ~/.evolution ? [10:34] Is it possible the word originated as zulu, but is now used in many languages? [10:34] ogra, bot: maybe there is something on the wiki to solve the problem === ogra is german and uses it daily ;) [10:34] ogra, well, I remove .evolution, then start evo, and I get the prob. A glance through the result doesn't seem to make anything non-writable for my user account. [10:35] tolstoy: perhaps they just use "africa" instead of "zulu" to give a clue to the clueless :) [10:35] http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/meaning-of-ubuntu/ [10:35] ;) [10:35] Are any of you using .Xresources or .Xdefaults in Ubuntu?? [10:35] They could say, "from the Zulu language of Africa". [10:35] yes === HWolf [~hidde@136.33.dynamic.phpg.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:36] Here we are on the K7 kernel. :-) [10:36] Ubuntu is pronounced "Ooh-BOON-too", in case your Zulu is a little rusty. [10:36] topyli, yes as in you are using a .Xresources? [10:36] oh... [10:36] no :) [10:36] HWolf, does it make the whole ubuntu experience that much better? [10:36] hmm.... I'm trying to configure aterm but cant.. [10:36] "from the Zulu language of Africa" would be perfect :) [10:36] ogra: does the default sources.list have the apt-cdrom source? [10:36] robertj: http://blondeguy.homelinux.net/dmesg [10:37] or does that get removed now [10:37] robertj, yea it should have the apt-cdrom source... just check it out. /etc/apt/sources.list [10:37] robertj: yes, but i'm not sure if its commented by default [10:38] Blonde: have you tried no acpi and no apic? [10:38] awesome, xfce4 works now, coming back in XChat [10:38] thanks [10:38] I think it's not [10:38] robertj: i think it depends on your decision on instal (download packages or not) [10:38] proto: I dont have a default sources.list [10:38] +l [10:38] nictuku: wikipedia says ubuntu comes from the "Zulu and Xhosa languages" [10:38] roberj: i just sent you one ;) [10:38] ogra, yeah, even umask 000 doesn't help. ;( [10:38] robertj, huh? waddaya mean? you dont have /etc/apt/sources.list?

[10:39] hrmm [10:39] if hoary.evolution is having permission problems, it seems to be creating them for itself. === oferw [~ofer@DSL212-235-20-173.bb.netvision.net.il] has joined #ubuntu [10:39] robertj, then add this line to your sources.list [10:39] robertj: in my sent folder it has ....

[10:44] seb128, well, created the .Xreources file added what I wanted (and I know how ;) ), saved, and did source ~/.Xresources. All I get is bash: " " command not found errors [10:44] XFCE4 is awesome. I'm glad I took the time to do a custom install, it definitely feels snappier [10:45] SmokingFire: depends how good you are at RTFMing :) [10:45] protocol: just restart gnome or the gnome-settings-daemon [10:45] altan: it sure is faster, but it ain't gnome [10:45] protocol: it should be automatically used [10:45] dredg: but so its possible [10:45] protocol: what are you using in it ? [10:45] it's not hard, it's a PITA if you want to follow debian policies strictly. many things to consider. [10:45] seb128, aterm [10:45] line . ? [10:45] seb128, heh all the aterm lines [10:45] isn't there a command you can run after make to create a deb? [10:46] SmokingFire: yes it is. you just need some extra packages installed [10:46] topyli: What's so great about GNOME? I don't feel like I'm missing something after the constant crashes :/ [10:46] protocol: give me one line so I can test here ... [10:46] SmokingFire: if you just want packages for yourself, use checkinstall [10:46] nictuku: I was wondering as I'm trying to install gaim-vv and it basically it working now but if it were a debian package with apt-get it would have been very easy to do [10:46] aterm*transparent:true <----- seb128 [10:46] Yeah, checkinstall, that's it. [10:46] altan: you can some crashes with GNOME ? [10:46] altan: your gnome install is screwed. it doesn't crash [10:46] checkinstall works well if it's a standard C/make project. [10:46] chkinstall is for Slackware packages only afaik [10:47] lock screen [10:47] SmokingFire: but it does depend on the complexity of the package. some apps are very difficult to package [10:47] isn't working AT ALL [10:47] TheMuso: slack, rpm, deb [10:47] rebirth: is the screensaver activated ? === telemac1 [~telemaco@80.103.235.118] has joined #ubuntu [10:47] I installed Ubuntu twice and it crashed often enough to make me forget about it. It was usable but not better than Windows, in fact quite worse than Windows [10:47] so read the debian policy first I guess then. [10:47] seb128, you mean do i have a screensaver chosen? [10:47] folks, do pretty much and USB hard drives (for back up purposes) work well with linux these days? [10:47] rebirth: you need to have xscreensaver running to use the lockscreen feature [10:47] seb128, you added anything to /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default? [10:47] tolstoy: what does checkinstall do? === loren [~loren@ip68-7-174-15.sd.sd.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu [10:48] altan, maybe you have some bad memory in there? [10:48] seb128, i see the problem -.- [10:48] it crashed [10:48] thanks :) [10:48] SmokingFire: youll need debhelper [10:48] protocol: no, xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources works ? [10:48] altan: what made it crash? [10:48] SmokingFire, I think it figures out (based on the make file) where your files will be installed and creates a deb based on that. [10:48] SmokingFire: should include everything for packaging [10:48] SmokingFire: Not GNOME itself, but the configuration stuff [10:48] things under the Computer menu [10:48] SmokingFire, but I don't know. I tried to use it with SBCL (common lisp) and it didn't work at all. [10:49] it was also kind of sluggish [10:49] seb128, nah. havent added it to the Defaults. Was askin u tho [10:49] altan: those crash? [10:49] protocol: I don't get the question so ... what's the problem ? [10:49] topyli, 40% of the time [10:49] altan: which app ? [10:49] are you guys planning to have a web interface to ubuntu packages? a la p.d.o [10:49] seb128, .Xresources is not being read period. [10:49] altan: make another user, they get the default gnome. see if it crashes [10:50] I had the most trouble with the networking configuration (both ppp and eth0) from the GNOME managers, it kept crashing when i closed the program [10:50] protocol: if you run "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources", does it works ? [10:50] i'd love to help if you need perl developers. [10:50] seb128, hol on [10:50] topyli: I don't have GNOME anymore, and I don't really care for it, doesn't add anything to my experience except slightly slow operation [10:50] nictuku: its planned [10:51] altan: that's fine. xfce is a nice desktop, and gnome apps fit in there quite well === jason_ is now known as subterrific [10:51] seb128, oh yea it does [10:51] :> [10:51] thanks man [10:51] altan: are you using hoary? [10:51] SmokingFire, Warty [10:51] protocol: no problem ... this should be done automatically on the session start [10:51] altan: then you should not uninstall gnome but report bugs [10:51] ok, as I had that problem with hoary but reverted back to warty [10:52] altan, I have that prob with hoary. [10:52] shouldn't the link in http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/wiki/link_view be fixed?

Strategy game of the year 2004. :-) [11:07] georgia: that opens a term window though :/ [11:07] marc: i dont think there is a powernow module. there is a cpufreq module and apparently a speedstep module (not sure how they relate) [11:07] HWolf: ah [11:07] oh, sorry half aslkeep, thought you wnated to do it IN a terminal window [11:07] topyli: Oh man that's such a simple and good idea. Why didn't I think of that. :) [11:07] mconc, i remember that I already did powernow insmods [11:07] Gary: i have the same chip onboard, but i've never tried to use it. i have a sb128 :) [11:07] I want to make a launcher [11:08] altan: gksudo /usr/sbin/synaptic in the launcher will do it [11:08] speedstep = powernow for intels :D [11:08] ah, I'll try that [11:08] marc: i think if there are modules for that, they are for amd chips and you have a piii, right?

Are any developers around? I would like to ask what are the chances of getting a package in a ubuntu repository for the program xchat-systray-plugin? [11:12] um, stupid question here... I just installed Ubuntu for the first time, and nowhere did it ask me for what I wanted the root password to be.. is there a default root password? [11:12] I think what you are asking is VIA 8233. The manual also says VIA KM266 (Northbridge) [11:12] JoeB, no root password in ubuntu === Dekkard [~rightone@adsl-68-74-12-103.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:12] JoeB, the root account is disabled and you can use sudo to get root access [11:12] ah, ok [11:12] JoeB, by default the first user you created can do sudo [11:12] Beast: i used to have a debian package that worked on ubuntu. don't remember if i got it from somewhere or built it myself, but it's definitely doable [11:12] im used to rp-ppoe..vanilla version.. what is the command to reconfigure your network in debian distros? === cuga [~cuga@67.71.121.97] has joined #ubuntu [11:13] topyli, ooooh wow [11:13] Hm, what's the command to get frlrx-control up? === Beast is now known as Matt| [11:13] Gary, Ive had a fair bit of experence with funky sound cards [11:13] OSS seems to work better on some then ALSA [11:14] topyli, you don't happen to still have it do ya?

[11:15] topyli, ah ok [11:15] Matt|: i remember it was rather painless [11:16] Gary, you might wanna ask some of those who are more familiar with Debian/Ubuntu then I am, I could tell ya how to do it on Mandrake :-P === boardom [~jobe@tweek.ott.istop.com] has left #ubuntu [] [11:16] topyli, i have never used debian system before: so I don't know how to build progs [11:16] Matt|: if i made it myself, i made it with checkinstall (that's how i make my packages) [11:16] ok [11:16] AlohaWulf: okay no prob. Thanks for the advice.

Klownutu seems better [11:24] oh well [11:24] now you know [11:24] kapputu: the point is, if foo depends on bar, and you've installed bar from source, apt won't know about that. but if you make a deb with checkinstall, apt knows you have bar [11:24] not a huge deal [11:24] topyli, there is no configure in the xchat-systray package [11:24] ic [11:24] topyli, just an ./install script [11:24] kapputu: heheh [11:25] topyli, mebbe i will just run that [11:25] what about CPAN modules [11:25] checkinstall is very nice, and works with deb _and_ rpm [11:25] Matt|: hmm. what does the readme say? === ezsquirt [spongebob@0wn-y0u.com] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [11:25] btw, how do i install .deb-files?

[11:46] *4.4.0 [11:46] mdz: a simple mistake [11:46] hi mdz [11:46] Matt|: why would that help? [11:47] maybe it would support 3d acceleration for my graphics [11:47] <[Phaedrus] > I am not sure what the point in using X.org is. They say the Xcomposite extension is disabled by default cause it makes the system unstable [11:47] xfree86 in Hoary is very close to xfree86 4.4 [11:47] im getting kernel panic on my first boot after installation. my grub looks like this: [11:47] title ubuntu [11:47] rootnoverify (hd0,10) [11:47] kernel /vmlinuz [11:47] initrd /initrd.img [11:47] <[Phaedrus] > i dont see any other significant reason to switch to X.org yet [11:47] Matt|: x.org is developing, xfree is pretty much what it is :( [11:47] [Phaedrus] : exactly [11:47] topyli, i only know for sure that xorg i supporting my card in their latest release, i don't know about XFree [11:48] <[Phaedrus] > What card do you have Matt|?

[11:48] Also I believe x.org is working on a modular approach, aren't they? In which it'd be much easier to update parts of X without breaking the entire system. [11:49] How can I help translating the installer? Is it an "upstream" work? I supposed the d-i translation to brazilian portuguese was finished, but in warty there are some parts untranslated. I unsucessfuly tried to find that in the wiki and in the translators team. [11:49] translators list, I mean [11:49] does anyone know how soon xorg will appear in HOARY? [11:49] Matt|: it will take some time [11:49] i need name of the font used in "ubuntu" logo..anyone? [11:49] nictuku: you might as well help with the debian-installer [11:49] HrdwrBoB, ball park figure? [11:49] <[Phaedrus] > HWolf: make no mistake. I like the way the X.org guys are heading. It's just not the time yet to make a switch.. not until they sort it all out. I hear constant complaints of the system dragging in X.org [11:50] Matt| Count on it being as soon as possible, It'll need a lot of polishing.

[11:50] what is the configuration file for my hardware called....and where is it located???...i have to comment out a line to get my ati working....err....good [11:50] HWolf: well, x.org is new [11:50] [Pheadrus] I believe I just switched to the fglrx ATI drivers, and they appear to be slower then the dri ones, so indeed, this XFree is good stuff. [11:50] HrdwrBoB, nope :( [11:50] do nvidia drivers work on X.org anyway btw? [11:50] Matt|: what hardware? [11:51] <[Phaedrus] > that's what i hear HWolf [11:51] HWolf: i wouldn't bet my business on it (if i had one) [11:51] topyli, but should I work with the upstream debian-installer or what?

[11:51] Matt|: that's an ATI card. try fglrx [11:51] mdz, i have [11:51] nictuku: hmmm... ubuntu work goes to debian also of course. i don't know who you should contact at the ubuntu team to talk about this [11:52] topyli: how about mdz ? [11:52] <[Phaedrus] > apparently SGi has a driver called snap graphics which runs on top of X, if I read it correct [11:52] :( [11:52] topyli, i believe it should talk to daf [11:53] phaedrus, 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] nictuku: well, mdz is around, daf is not :) [11:53] Matt|: X.org is likely to be a couple of weeks more; you can get by with tetris until then I think :-) === mirak [~mirak@adsl-68-74-28-228.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:53] mdz, yup. [11:53] mdz, it will do me good [11:54] mdz, what are the chances of upgrading to hoary breaking my system? [11:54] Matt|: you using Hoarty ? === [AVA] kold] |[CoH [~septeraco@p548157CC.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:54] kapputu, nope [11:54] ah, wisdom on the gnome mailing lists: NEVER ASSUME YOU ARE THE BEST. [11:54] Is there any plan to get a graphical boot-up process in hoary? I don't want to see those errors. :-) [11:54] I just wanted to ask that question [11:54] Matt|: it's in fairly good shape at the moment [11:54] HWolf, i like the current install [11:55] matt|, paste that path to me 1 more time plz? [11:55] Matt|: X.org will be some of the first major breakage [11:55] <[Phaedrus] > HWolf: www.bootsplash.org [11:55] /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 [11:55] matt| thnx [11:55] mdz, uhoh [11:55] mdz, perhaps I'll have to stick to tetris for a while longer [11:55] [Phaedrus] : Thanks. [11:55] <[Phaedrus] > uw [11:56] mdz, i'm not a very experienced linux user [11:56] :) [11:56] Matt|: hey, you got us :) [11:56] cu [11:56] Matt|: Trust Ogra to bail you out [11:56] bye xenonite [11:56] i build xorg from scratch and installed it here. it worked pretty seamlessly [11:56] you will help me out with hoary issues? [11:56] awwwwwwww === mirak [~mirak@adsl-68-74-28-228.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:57] dredg, now that is talking [11:57] :) [11:57] dredg, tell me all [11:57] im not using it now, i switched back to the packages cos rdesktop was acting a bit weird :) [11:57] <[Phaedrus] > really dredg [11:57] <[Phaedrus] > with all the extensions enabled? [11:57] Matt|: if i got it myself to verify, yes.... but i'll wait till y.org is likely working [11:57] linuxjones, you around?? [11:57] x [11:57] ogra, yeah guess so [11:57] yeah, including xcomposite [11:58] <[Phaedrus] > acting a bit weird? [11:58] ogra: heh [11:58] I do not envy the guys that have to make sure XFree -> X.org goes smoothly. :-S [11:58] <[Phaedrus] > you have to explain on that [11:58] translucency and shadows look pretty. pure eyecandy :) complete waste of resources but meh [11:58] dredg, i tried to just compile the dri modules but it failed :( [11:58] topyli: you laugh about the y ? [11:58] ogra: lets for x.org and make y [11:58] *g* [11:58] [Phaedrus] : screen wouldnt redraw right [11:58] s/for/fork [11:58] <[Phaedrus] > if we can be patient for just a coupel of weeks, X.org should be much safer [11:58] matt|, thnx ever so much.......fixed my problem.... [11:58] topyli: better berlin ;) [11:58] Mirak pleasure === nine99 [~nine99@host184-90.pool8249.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu [11:58] [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. :-) [11:59] <[Phaedrus] > rather than spending half my lifetime compiling that beast and compiling it again, it is just easier to wait [11:59] ogra: YES! we have a decision! [11:59] <[Phaedrus] > HWolf: just do it before you go to sleep.. [11:59] this was a pure experiment btw [11:59] <[Phaedrus] > what machine do you have? [11:59] topyli, i think there is a project called y already which is a "replacement" for X. [11:59] yeah i heard that too [11:59] hi, where i can find a list of all the packages available with ubuntu ? [11:59] spacey`ki: i know berlin, but haven't heard about y [11:59] however you probably want to stick with x;0 [11:59] whats so good about Y? [11:59] nine99, synaptic??
