| HWolf | dedg What's bad about X is that it's difficult to set up, and not very fast. | 12:06 |

| noda | Jet2k5: Perhaps the more important question is: WHY does he need the kernel source? :) | 01:30 |
| Jet2k5 | nvm tho he just left | 01:30 |
| Jet2k5 | he needs to install some niswrapper | 01:30 |

| HWolf | [phaedrus] because they sell a lot of athlons these days? | 01:35 |
| noda | b_e_n_z: Yes, Ubuntu rocketh | 01:35 |
| HWolf | noda, what can we expect from 2.10, do you know that? | 01:35 |
| noda | HWolf: I only know my little subset: epiphany extensions will have a nice UI and you'll be able to load/unload them while Epiphany is running :P | 01:36 |
| noda | Beyond that... dunno :P | 01:36 |
| robertj | hrmm, I wonder why I have sound if I run an app from a terminal but no sound if I run it from the menu | 01:36 |
| noda | Don't even know if Epiphany will be default (I'm guessing not, but really, if there's anything we can do to change that...) | 01:36 |

| HWolf | noda, don't be offended, but why is gnome developing it's own browser when there is something as smooth as mozilla to compete against? | 01:37 |
| noda | HWolf: Maybe there'll be audio CD burning... GNOME really needs that :) | 01:37 |
| robertj | I was a naughty boy and reported it as a bug but sdl is in universe ;) | 01:38 |
| noda | HWolf: Have you tried Epiphany? :) | 01:38 |
| jazzka | I'm using firefox, how can I access to mozilla composer (html editor) ?? | 01:38 |
| noda | HWolf: It's light years ahead of Firefox in terms of usability. | 01:38 |
| noda | HWolf: Simple, and Just Works -- it's a GNOME browser. | 01:38 |
| noda | HWolf: And it fits in better with GNOME -- follows your theme better. | 01:38 |
| robertj | Epiphany needs to ditch its bookmarks though | 01:38 |
| robertj | Everyone uses bookmarks the same way | 01:39 |
| robertj | they bookmark stuff, then they never use it again | 01:39 |
| noda | They may be revamped to automatically create hierarchies. | 01:39 |
| HWolf | robertj, Actually I do use bookmarks, I just store every decent site I come across that interest me, so when I do forget the url, I can get back there | 01:40 |
| robertj | noda: I hope they steal the firefox search too | 01:40 |
| robertj | I'd love to see that added to the HIG | 01:40 |

| robertj | noda: what do you think of this: http://www.music.uga.edu/temp/whatif.jpg | 01:44 |
| noda | And the popup blocker is better than Firefox's :) | 01:44 |
| HWolf | Is gnome still depending on those massive mozilla libraries? | 01:44 |
| noda | HWolf: Yes, BUT | 01:44 |
| noda | HWolf: http://gtk-webcore.sf.net | 01:45 |
| ficusplanet | noda, If firefox doesn't now, it certainly will because Novell is making it the default browser in Novell Linux Desktop. | 01:45 |
| noda | Galeon can actually use gtk-webcore as a backend (what Safari uses on Mac). I think it works on Epiphany -- if not then it's just a few hours to get it working. | 01:45 |
| robertj | Firefox is opensource and has good name recognition and a good reputation | 01:45 |
| tolstoy | I like epiphany, too --- but I got the feeling firefox is going to be the default for gnome, eh? | 01:45 |

| noda | tolstoy: not anytime soon, I don't think... | 01:46 |
| robertj | Multiple gtk backends for html rendering seems overly redundant | 01:46 |
| noda | robertj: That's exactly why it's in Ubuntu, unfortunately for us. That means we really don't have any way to improve Epiphany to get it in the next release | 01:46 |
| HWolf | It's not that I would enjoy epihany. I'm just unhappy that display managers ship like 4 browsers and mail clients. | 01:46 |
| noda | robertj: Webcore uses about 5x less memory than Mozilla | 01:46 |
| ficusplanet | I think epiphany will be more liked after the next release - with the GUI for extensions and gnome-print and whatever else marco and christian cook up. | 01:46 |
| amathis | how can I restart the sound server? | 01:47 |
| noda | Yeah :) | 01:47 |
| robertj | Noda: is that with a full khtml implementation? | 01:47 |

| robertj | noda: mozilla has lots of nice stuff | 01:47 |
| noda | robertj: It's just in testing, so some functionality isn't hooked in yet. But it'll still be much smaller and faster than Mozilla. Unfortunately, at the moment it crashes very often | 01:47 |
| === timello [~tiago@201.7.71.150] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| ficusplanet | noda, I think graphical (thumbnails and searching) history would be awesome. For bookmarks, too, I guess. | 01:48 |
| robertj | Safari crashes quite often for me | 01:48 |
| robertj | Firefox still crashes some, but not nearly as often. | 01:48 |
| noda | ficusplanet: I've been thinking along the same lines. On the other hand, Beagle might render that unnecessary. | 01:48 |
| HWolf | First thing I see on this thing is that it doesn't have the google search integrated, which I think is a must-have. :-) | 01:48 |
| robertj | I'd love to see both backends be able to endure endless streams of garbage html | 01:48 |
| noda | ficusplanet: I was considering implementing a Storage extension... but Storage is kinda dead nowadays and I'm not sure it's the "right" way to do it. | 01:49 |
| HWolf | noda, sorry for the comment, but it looks a lot like IE to me. Makes me shiver. :-) | 01:49 |
| ficusplanet | noda, True, if we could feed beagle screenshots, though, that would be amazing. And beagle won't get widespread acceptance until mono legal are sorted out. | 01:49 |
| noda | ficusplanet: Maybe we can finish Python or C# bindings for Epiphany... that'd get more extension developers I think :) | 01:49 |
| noda | ficusplanet: It already feeds beagle screenshots, doesn't it? | 01:49 |
| tolstoy | The thing I like about epiphany is that it can be integrated into gnome in ways that don't make sense for a cross platform firefox. | 01:49 |
| ficusplanet | noda, Oh, I didn't know that. | 01:49 |
| HWolf | tolstoy, give me an example. :-) | 01:49 |
| noda | ficusplanet: Actually... maybe not. No, it probably has snippets, like Google | 01:50 |
| tolstoy | HWolf, native widgets. | 01:50 |
| noda | tolstoy: unfortunately, Epiphany doesn't use native widgets with the Mozilla backend. The gtk-webcore backend does, though | 01:50 |
| ficusplanet | noda, Some kind of RSS integration would be nice/timely/in-with-the-Safari-and-Firefox-fad | 01:50 |
| tolstoy | HWolf, maybe integrated bookmarks with addressbook and GAIM etc. | 01:50 |
| tolstoy | noda, but it could. | 01:50 |
| noda | tolstoy: yeah, we've been thinking about that, too. That'd be cool. But how would it work? :) | 01:51 |
| === geppy [~geppy@c-24-0-83-218.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| tolstoy | noda, i mean, maybe it would be too painful to patch native widgets in, but that's the kind of thing I mean. | 01:51 |
| robertj | noda: Speed is good, memory matters to me almost not at all as long as it doesn't leak | 01:51 |
| noda | ficusplanet: What kind of RSS integration is useful? It seems to me that "automatic bookmarks" stuff is just somebody who was bored and wanted to find something to code. What does it do? | 01:51 |
| HWolf | Hey noda, I was wondering, how are the gnome priorities. Is it like A cool, B work, C lean&mean, or another combination. | 01:51 |
| robertj | Automatic bookmarks are dumb | 01:51 |
| jdub | noda: try it. | 01:52 |
| noda | HWolf: 1. It Just Works :) | 01:52 |
| tolstoy | noda, I don't know what neat things could be done with a more "native" browser, but at least you wouldn't have to justify against the needs of windows. | 01:52 |
| amathis | how can I restart the sound server? | 01:52 |
| ficusplanet | noda, In the least we need clicking an RSS feed to bring up a helper app to subscribe to it - preferrably one that works with all 3 major gnome RSS aggregators. | 01:52 |

| noda | thoreauputic: Check the logic on the Galeon web page, it makes sense :) | 01:57 |
| robertj | It's what the sidebar should be in a spatial nautilus, a gateway to other "spaces" that you can use to drag things between | 01:57 |

| Hikaru79 | Nah, should be enough to just save the file | 01:58 |
| nictuku | jdub, I see. I do not want to start a flamewar here. But does linux/X/gnome miss something to run "fine" in a low end machine, or is it just too "feature-full"? I mean, win98 runs fine here. | 01:58 |

| noda | ficusplanet: Crispin's code in Galeon is great. | 01:59 |
| jdub | nictuku: it's more fun working on new stuff than fixing old code :) | 01:59 |
| tolstoy | hm. epiphany doesn't immediately obey the "text below icons" thing, or the removal of it. | 01:59 |
| nictuku | noda, I know. I use fluxbox, but yet I don't get the same results. I would have to use dillo, and don't even think about listening to mp3. again, this is not a complain, don't get me wrong. | 01:59 |
| nictuku | jdub hehe. | 01:59 |

| noda | ficusplanet: When I made my select-stylesheet extension, I copied code from Galeon. It was hilarious -- most of the code was absolutely perfect, and then there were about 100 lines of utter garbage. :) | 01:59 |
| Mojo_Jojo | Hikaru79, I still get the same problem :( | 01:59 |
| Hikaru79 | =/ | 02:00 |
| Hikaru79 | Hm | 02:00 |
| Hikaru79 | I think I may know why | 02:00 |
| noda | nictuku: Try skipstone as a browser, maybe? It depends on less than Epiphany | 02:00 |
| Hikaru79 | export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin/java | 02:00 |
| Hikaru79 | Use that instead | 02:00 |
| Mojo_Jojo | ok | 02:00 |
| Hikaru79 | The thing is, I use the SDK | 02:00 |
| Hikaru79 | Not the JRE | 02:00 |
| Hikaru79 | So I'm not sure exactly what the path is | 02:00 |
| Hikaru79 | But it's something similar to that | 02:00 |
| noda | tolstoy: yeah, that's because Epiphany's toolbar is editable. The egg-editable-toolbar does some weird things. | 02:00 |
| Hikaru79 | You could probably look around those files yourself to find the right path too | 02:00 |
| robertj | noda: also, note the following are missing from the links ;) ~/Desktop ~/ and unmounted disks | 02:01 |
| noda | tolstoy: wait a second... no, there's no good excuse for that! Damn :) | 02:01 |
| Hikaru79 | The idea is, you have to add that directory to your path | 02:01 |
| Hikaru79 | So that Ubuntu recognizes where Java is :) | 02:01 |
| Hikaru79 | And then it'll work ^ ^ | 02:01 |
| Mojo_Jojo | but it is in my path...isnt? | 02:01 |
| robertj | noda: how do you feel about that? | 02:01 |
| noda | So, I'll compile a list, then: Things Epiphany Could Use To Be More Awesome | 02:01 |
| HWolf | Btw, to the gnome-devs. Sorry i am a bit agressive. My first impression with gnome years back was that it took ages to download all these massive mozilla libraries, and then when I booted, I had like 3 browsers, and 4 mail clients. | 02:01 |
| noda | robertj: I'm not sure getting rid of Desktop is a good idea... I keep lotsa windows open :) | 02:01 |
| nictuku | noda, never heard of skipstone. Thanks for that =] | 02:01 |
| tolstoy | noda, but I can't even remove those redundant text labels using epiphany's toolbar edit! Hm. Maybe a bug in this version? Last I used had that sort of thing working. | 02:02 |
| noda | nictuku: It's kind of dead I think :( | 02:02 |
| Hikaru79 | Mojo_Jojo, apparently not =/ | 02:02 |
| nictuku | :( | 02:02 |
| jdub | HWolf: gnome didn't ship a browser in an official release until 2.4 | 02:02 |
| noda | tolstoy: Sounds buggy. If it doesn't do what you expect, it's buggy. File a bug :) | 02:02 |
| robertj | noda: why do you need Desktop? | 02:02 |
| noda | robertj: In case there's no desktop on my screen. | 02:02 |
| Mojo_Jojo | Hikaru79, so what should I do now? | 02:02 |
| Hikaru79 | Did you change the line? | 02:02 |
| Mojo_Jojo | sorry...newbie :( | 02:02 |
| noda | robertj: Like, if I've got a window maximized | 02:03 |
| tolstoy | noda, okay. I'll have to do a search. | 02:03 |
| Hikaru79 | Mojo_Jojo, did you change the line? | 02:03 |

| Hikaru79 | Hey, kapputu welcome back :) | 02:03 |
| kapputu | thanks Hiky :-) | 02:03 |
| robertj | Noda: one time fix. Go to Documents, select View Parent, drag Desktop into Documents | 02:03 |
| HWolf | I've got no idea which I first installed. I used KDE for a bit, after that Gnome was a massive improvement. I just feel that linux is about options, and thus you should get something that works shipped standard, but allow it to be replaced rather then have people run something different besides. | 02:03 |
| Mojo_Jojo | Hikaru79, actually I left both lines in there haha | 02:03 |
| robertj | Bam, no need for Desktop anymore | 02:03 |
| noda | robertj: True dat | 02:03 |
| Hikaru79 | =P Err | 02:03 |
| Hikaru79 | Should be OK | 02:03 |
| Hikaru79 | Now just try again | 02:03 |
| Hikaru79 | If not, just get the SDK | 02:04 |
| noda | I used to use Blackbox, then KDE... when I tried GNOME 2.0, I never went back. | 02:04 |
| Mojo_Jojo | damn...where can I get the sdk? I didn't see it on the site? | 02:04 |
| nictuku | there is another doubt I have and I can't ever get a good neutral answer: is X really "slow"? from my user point of view, it has a bad latency. Is that so, or only a repetitive mantra between some users (X is slow) ? | 02:04 |
| Mojo_Jojo | oh how do I remove the old one?? | 02:04 |
| noda | So, who here uses the automatic bookmarks? | 02:04 |

| === liar_ [~liar@213.155.191.164] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| spacey`ki | i like gnome too. although i think the gnome-terminal is really crappy | 02:04 |
| noda | in Firefox | 02:04 |
| Hikaru79 | As for deleting the old one just remove the files | 02:04 |
| noda | spacey`ki: It is. Well, gnome-terminal is fine, but its backend is crappy | 02:04 |
| tolstoy | I started using gnome pre 1.0. ;) | 02:05 |
| noda | nictuku: No, X is not slow. | 02:05 |
| Mojo_Jojo | ok so just remove the /usr/java?? | 02:05 |
| jdub | HWolf: linux is about cloning unix and providing an interface to your hardware. it's a kernel. | 02:05 |
| robertj | So the guestion remains: why do we have a Desktop? | 02:05 |
| tolstoy | KDE was much more solid, but I just couldn't stay away from gnome, for some reason. | 02:05 |
| spacey`ki | noda, especially with a lot of output terminal can take up to 70% cpu. ;p what backend is that? | 02:05 |
| noda | spacey`ki: Erm... vte I think | 02:05 |
| spacey`ki | never heard of it :p | 02:05 |
| noda | spacey`ki: It's annoying, I know. It takes more processing power to actually print 'make' output than it does to comiple :P | 02:06 |
| spacey`ki | uhu :) | 02:06 |
| noda | spacey`ki: It's been around forever. Before that there was another one which was fast but crashed. | 02:06 |
| jdub | spacey`ki: vte is the terminal emulation library that gnome-terminal uses. | 02:06 |
| Mojo_Jojo | Hikaru79, which one do I download? http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/download.html#sdk | 02:06 |
| spacey`ki | well they should drop it then :P | 02:06 |
| jdub | noda: no, zvt was difficult to read (codewise) and didn't do i18n/utf-8 or a11y. | 02:06 |
| robertj | noda: care to hear the answer to that rhetorical question or am I boring you ;) | 02:06 |
| Mojo_Jojo | I also found the SE | 02:06 |
| jdub | spacey`ki: please write a new terminal emulation library, and propose it to replace vte. | 02:07 |

| spacey`ki | jdub, yeah sure when i have the time :) i'll put it on the end of my todo list | 02:07 |
| noda | robertj: Which question? And sure, what's the answer? :) | 02:07 |
| jdub | noda: sure. | 02:07 |

| kapputu | what's the different b/w OO writer and OO Wordprocessor ? | 02:10 |
| kapputu | it looks good in OO Word processor | 02:10 |
| robertj | noda: anyway, there is this kinda catch 22 in which you need to give users easy access to Documents and the root so that they can copy all their documents to and fro | 02:11 |
| robertj | but if you give them access, there is the temptation "we have this parent folder with one folder, that's silly. You shouldn't have one folder with just one item as a standard setup" | 02:11 |

| robertj | I think the sane thing to do is ditch Documents and the desktop | 02:13 |

| alf | just wondering - is there a way to customise the Applications/Computer menus? | 02:45 |
| WW | alf: yes/no | 02:45 |
| Matt|2 | jdub, you can't help with my aterm problem? | 02:45 |
| kapputu | where is that | 02:45 |
| alf | nice answer :) | 02:45 |
| jdub | Matt|2: no | 02:45 |
| kapputu | gotcha | 02:45 |
| WW | alf: Try right-clicking in a submenu under Applications. You'll see several options. | 02:46 |
| Matt|2 | jdub, how about with reverting to the old artwork? Synaptic says that if I force the package to be the older version, I have to remove mozilla-firefox | 02:46 |
| jdub | Matt|2: that won't help your aterm issue | 02:46 |
| alf | WW: yes, I see that. how about changing which submenus are there, or even combining them into one menu | 02:46 |
| Matt|2 | jdub, true but at least I will be happy with the desktop | 02:46 |
| alf | (I'm trying not to mention Windows) | 02:46 |
| WW | alf: Use Nautilus, browse to applications:/// | 02:47 |
| Matt|2 | jdub, why is it telling me that I have to remove firefox in order to revert to the older artwork? | 02:47 |
| tolstoy | did you guys know that emacs is foobarred in the Accessories menu? | 02:47 |
| tolstoy | I should report that bug, but it's been around forever, i think. | 02:48 |
| WW | alf: Also, take a look at the wiki FAQ. | 02:48 |
| alf | WW: ok, i will, thanks | 02:48 |
| jdub | Matt|2: because firefox depends on the new artwork | 02:48 |
| tolstoy | Emacs @MAJOR_VERSION@ (X11) | 02:48 |
| jdub | Matt|2: the artwork is unrelated to your aterm issue | 02:48 |
| jdub | tolstoy: yes | 02:48 |
| jdub | tolstoy: (it shouldn't be in the menu anyway, but that does need to be fixed) | 02:48 |
| Matt|2 | jdub, i have understood that. But I simply like the older artwork more. Do you know why firefox depends on the new artwork? | 02:48 |
| jdub | Matt|2: because it includes the default homepage | 02:49 |
| Matt|2 | omg | 02:49 |
| jdub | Matt|2: downgrading the artwork pacakge is not the best way of getting the old artwork | 02:49 |
| jdub | just set your background up the same way | 02:49 |
| tolstoy | Ah, good. | 02:49 |
| Matt|2 | jdub, ah cool. what is the other way? | 02:49 |
| tolstoy | Unfortunatley, when I try to fix it with applications:///, it just won't "take". | 02:49 |
| jdub | tolstoy: killall gnome-panel | 02:49 |
| tolstoy | didn't work. | 02:50 |

| jnc | i'm sick of the problems i am having with windows 98 second edition, on a laptop system (233mhz ish and 64mb ram) | 03:50 |
| jnc | i need the box for business work | 03:50 |
| jnc | i'm already a *nix user at home, but i need a box that will synchronize with ACT! program database | 03:50 |
| jnc | and also synchronize with my palm pilot | 03:50 |
| jnc | so far, the windows 98 SE was doing both for a while, but for some unknown and entirely fustrating reason, it stopped synchronizing with my palm | 03:50 |
| jnc | i had the standard debian sarge install on the laptop before, and it was okay for email and synching the palm | 03:50 |
| jnc | but when it came to synching with ACT! it was a no-go | 03:50 |
| jnc | also, it was hideously slow with debian sarge | 03:51 |
| jnc | any ideas? | 03:51 |
| === MagicFab [~MagicFab@modemcable197.102-200-24.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Pizbit | What's ACT! ? | 03:51 |
| jnc | "ACT!" is a contact management system | 03:51 |
| jnc | it allows you to make a semi-relational database of companies and the people who work for them with their contact info | 03:51 |
| jnc | it unifies the process of conducting sales calls | 03:52 |
| jnc | keeping a log of notes and records | 03:52 |
| jnc | for each contact | 03:52 |
| jnc | it also contains a phone dialer to make that part easier | 03:52 |
| Pizbit | Have you found any programs for linux that work with it? | 03:52 |
| MagicFab | Hello | 03:52 |
| jnc | Pizbit: no | 03:52 |
| MagicFab | can anyone help with a boot problem involving modprobe ? | 03:52 |
| jnc | there is SugarCMS which does the same function, and imports ACT! flat files | 03:53 |
| jnc | but it is LAMP based (linux apache mysql php) | 03:53 |
| jnc | there is no memory for me to be running such a fat solution on a skinny little laptop that i am given | 03:53 |
| jnc | only 64mb ram... | 03:53 |
| MagicFab | I get a message similar to "Error: FATAL while trying to insert pciehp.ko - operation not permitted" same for shpchp.ko | 03:53 |
| Pizbit | MagicFab: Known bug, doesn't matter | 03:53 |
| === tester_ [~yz@216.238.204.135] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| MagicFab | jnc> sorry for jumping in, but I've found J-pilot kind of does part of what Act! provides | 03:54 |
| === tester_ is now known as yz | ||
| jnc | MagicFab: ooh! | 03:55 |
| jnc | MagicFab: can i synch it with an email client? | 03:55 |
| jnc | i didn't see anything for synching with Thunderbird (which is my preferred email client) | 03:55 |
| Pizbit | MagicFab: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1869 | 03:55 |
| MagicFab | jnc> I'm not sure. There is partial support from Thunderbird, I've heard Mozilla suite works with it. | 03:56 |
| jnc | ah | 03:56 |
| MagicFab | jnc> Don't know about Evolution, etc. | 03:56 |
| jnc | Evo and I do not get along these days | 03:56 |
| jnc | Evo crashes way too much | 03:56 |
| Pizbit | It's stable here, POS to use though | 03:56 |
| jnc | mm | 03:56 |
| jnc | think it's worth buggering around to put say, ubuntu linux on that lappy? | 03:57 |
| MagicFab | Pizbit> tx. | 03:57 |
| jnc | at this point i have equal lack of functionality from both sides, the win98se and the debian sarge linux | 03:57 |
| MagicFab | jnc> I use J-pilot under Mandrake linux | 03:57 |
| MagicFab | jnc> I think ubunto comes with Gpilot or Gnu-Pilot - can't remember. Anyone ?.. | 03:58 |
| jnc | win98se randomly decides to stop working with Palm sync, and debian sarge linux runs like a sick sad animal on the 233mhz @ 64mb ram | 03:58 |
| Pizbit | Ubuntu has jpilot | 03:58 |
| MagicFab | jnc> I just installed Ubuntu today | 03:58 |
| jnc | ah | 03:58 |
| MagicFab | jnc> and I haven't configured its palm support | 03:58 |
| jnc | is Ubuntu a different OS, or is it a refinement of the GUI on top of a debian base | 03:59 |

| Pizbit | jnc: I reckon it probably would | 04:01 |

| jnc | what function does that? | 04:01 |
| MagicFab | jnc> what do you mean by "Ethernet device" ? is it WiFi ? | 04:01 |
| jnc | no | 04:02 |
| jnc | i mean a .. LinkSys TX100LNE | 04:02 |
| MagicFab | jnc> you'd have to configure the network device by adding it via the configuration utility | 04:02 |
| jnc | you know, the usb 2.0 adapter from USB -> ethernet | 04:02 |
| jnc | MagicFab: but what i mean is i only have one usb port on the computer, and i swap it out to use other devices | 04:02 |
| === kapput1 [~sg47@ny-lasalle-cadant1-24-49-98-189.bflony.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jnc | would plugging in / unplugging the USB->ethernet adapter mean that it would deconfigure, and reconfigure, without user intervention? | 04:03 |
| jnc | win98se does that without user intervention | 04:03 |
| jnc | and it saves me a lot of time | 04:03 |
| Pizbit | I reckon it would, but I've never trued nor have what I need to try | 04:03 |
| jnc | i plug it in, and it autoconfigures with dhcp | 04:03 |
| jnc | hm | 04:03 |
| Pizbit | I could, of course, be wrong | 04:04 |
| jnc | can you install Internet Explorer 5.5 in wine | 04:04 |
| jnc | with ubuntu | 04:04 |
| Pizbit | If it works in wine, then it should work. | 04:04 |
| tolstoy | I reported this bug: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3069. Any advise to help figure it out? Should I download source, compile, see if I can reproduce it? | 04:04 |
| Pizbit | Although why you'd want too I don't know. | 04:04 |
| tabmoW | jnc: why would you want to? | 04:04 |
| jnc | it's a pre-req | 04:04 |
| Pizbit | jnc: for...? | 04:04 |
| jnc | cannot attempt installation of ACT! in wine without first doing IE 5.5 or newer | 04:04 |

| holycow | would it be fair to characterize ubuntu as a subset of customized debian packages? | 04:09 |
| HrdwrBoB | no | 04:09 |
| HrdwrBoB | ubuntu is <3 | 04:09 |
| mhess | has anyone tried Expocity? | 04:09 |
| holycow | how much customization is there actually? seems like quite a lot, however, ideally one would hope it would be simply an adjunct repository that replaces/upgrades certain packages no? or are is the customization much deeper? | 04:10 |
| HrdwrBoB | well, especially given that ubuntu uses GNOME 2.8 | 04:11 |
| HrdwrBoB | and 2.6.8.1 as well as a whole host of other stuff | 04:11 |
| HrdwrBoB | the core is quite different | 04:11 |
| Pizbit | holycow: They took a snapshot of sarge around june, then brang in selected updated packages and added customisations for the sake of usability and whatnot | 04:11 |
| jnc | are there problems with ubuntu and windows networking? | 04:11 |
| Pizbit | OR something along those lines. | 04:11 |
| HrdwrBoB | the 'universe' packages, however are simply debian packages | 04:11 |
| Pizbit | jnc: Nope, samba:) | 04:11 |
| HrdwrBoB | recompiled to suit ubuntu | 04:11 |
| jnc | i need to print to an epson 870 that is share from a windows XP box | 04:11 |
| jnc | on debian sarge, i tried configuring it in CUPS | 04:12 |
| jnc | but it was not authorized | 04:12 |
| holycow | okay interesting | 04:12 |
| jnc | i don't know why but it thought it required a password | 04:12 |
| jnc | and i could not find where to provide one | 04:12 |
| holycow | i'm trying to wrap my mind around the idea of not running debian proper | 04:12 |
| holycow | i love the updates in ubuntu, i have a hard time letting go of debian | 04:12 |
| HrdwrBoB | holycow: I didn't have a hard time | 04:12 |
| HrdwrBoB | you install it just once | 04:12 |
| holycow | afterall ians company tried the same thing | 04:12 |
| HrdwrBoB | and you see the niceness :) | 04:12 |
| mdz | holycow: Ubuntu is a complete Debian-derived distribution which includes carefully chosen defaults and enhancements from the installer through the desktop and more | 04:12 |
| mdz | holycow: it's more than just a some customized packages | 04:12 |
| mdz | s/a some/some/ | 04:13 |
| Stalione | I have few wireless networks accessible (lucky me) but I want to only connect to mine. During my initial install I left the wireless card pick whatever was accessible (linksys network in this case). I think becasue of that its using it as default. what config file do i edit to be able to specify my wireless network settings? | 04:13 |
| === willys [~willys@68.184.194.229.charter-stl.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| mdz | Stalione: computer->system configuration->networking | 04:13 |
| holycow | how much of the customization is being submitted back to debian proper as proposals? ubuntu has a lot of great ideas | 04:13 |
| MagicFab | jnc> still there ? | 04:13 |
| jnc | yes | 04:13 |
| TheMuso | mdz: How would one go about setting up wireless on the console? | 04:13 |
| TheMuso | To save settings. | 04:13 |
| mdz | jnc: stock cupsys does require a password; Ubuntu cupsys is modified to allow administration by users in the lpadmin group | 04:14 |
| MagicFab | jnc> I searched the forums for "network install", there was this: | 04:14 |
| mdz | TheMuso: /etc/network/interfaces | 04:14 |
| MagicFab | jnc> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2068&highlight=network+install | 04:14 |
| jnc | MagicFab: thanks! | 04:14 |
| TheMuso | mdz: Thanks. | 04:14 |
| Stalione | mdz, :-) That was the first thing I treid but it errors out saying "Failed to run network-admin as user root: Child terminated with 1 status" | 04:14 |
| kapputu | mdz: how do I keep my wireless connection from dropping ? | 04:14 |
| Blondeguy | https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3103 | 04:14 |
| holycow | oh i see right, a lot of ubuntu will never make it into debian proper because of the debian social contract and security and organization | 04:14 |
| mdz | holycow: we send all of our bug fixes upstream, other things on a case-by-case basis where they make sense | 04:14 |
| holycow | okay makes sense | 04:14 |
| mdz | Stalione: did you remember to type your login password? | 04:14 |
| HrdwrBoB | Stalione: did you enter your password? | 04:14 |
| holycow | mdz, cool | 04:14 |
| Stalione | mdz, however if I use iwconfig, I can change the card settings | 04:14 |
| Stalione | mdz, yes. | 04:15 |
| jnc | would it be fair to characterize ubuntu as a spawn of debian? | 04:15 |
| mdz | holycow: right, many of the choices that we've made are distribution-wide policy changes, and so Debian would need to make a decision as a group to go in that direction | 04:15 |
| lifeless | haha. 'spawn of' | 04:15 |
| mdz | Stalione: and you can set all of the same options in /etc/network/interfaces | 04:15 |
| willys | Have a HP PSC-750, the printer part work fine. Can't get the scanner to work or see anyplace to set it up. On other distros I use ptal-init, doesn't seem to be there. Any ideas? | 04:15 |
| mdz | Stalione: /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/README.Debian | 04:15 |
| Stalione | mdz, thanks. thats what I was looking for...good old config files. | 04:16 |
| lifeless | I so need that on a t-shirt. Warty, as a charicature, with the caption 'spawn of debian' | 04:16 |
| mdz | jnc: that would be fair, yes | 04:16 |
| holycow | mdz, has any discussion been had around getting together with other organizations and putting together something along the lines of active directory (in the sense that ad is more than just ldap) ... gnome/ubuntu/ad would really be superbly killer | 04:16 |
| mdz | jnc: you could also think of it as an evolutionary step :-) | 04:16 |
| holycow | the reason i ask is the thought occured to me that all debian packages that have the need could be patched up to support ldap to various degrees for example | 04:17 |
| jnc | mdz: debian is kerry, ubuntu is edwards ? | 04:17 |
| holycow | and ad style permissions/environment controls, could really be killer as an idea anyway | 04:17 |
| mdz | holycow: I'm not intimately familiar with active directory; what does it provide beyond authentication/account management? | 04:17 |
| ljlane | Does ubuntu straight out-of-the-box handle floppy disk automouting? | 04:17 |
| ljlane | +n | 04:18 |
| HrdwrBoB | floppy disks? | 04:18 |
| holycow | i'm a newb as well, but ad provides dhcp controls as well as environment and profile management which affects the users accounts | 04:18 |
| Pizbit | HrdwrBoB: Those things on the 5th floor of the world computer museum:) | 04:18 |
| jnc | not sure what ad is | 04:18 |
| jnc | i will find out eh? | 04:18 |
| holycow | i.e. one can control the start menu, and various apps that support it | 04:18 |
| HrdwrBoB | active directory ? | 04:18 |
| mdz | ljlane: if by automounting, you mean automatically mounting when a disk is inserted, I don't think that can be done with floppy hardware except by continuously attempting to access the disk (there is no way to detect the presence of a floppy in the drive) | 04:18 |
| MagicFab | How do I make Ubuntu mount my USB key ? | 04:18 |
| ljlane | mdz: ah | 04:19 |
| Pizbit | MagicFab: Should be automatic | 04:19 |
| mdz | holycow: hm, so site-wide configuration | 04:19 |
| HrdwrBoB | ljlane: which on PC hardware is retarded | 04:19 |
| mdz | holycow: yes, we've talked about some similar ideas | 04:19 |
| MagicFab | A "usb0" disk is detected in "Computer disks" but I can't access it | 04:19 |
| holycow | so for example, one could theoretically add a push model to gnome/ubuntu/debian, push apps, customize users environment, control systems via schemas, etc. | 04:19 |
| holycow | mdz, cool, just curious | 04:19 |
| holycow | mdz, i would be willing to pay for such a feature | 04:19 |
| HrdwrBoB | holycow: many people do that now in theiur own environment | 04:19 |
| mdz | MagicFab: should be automatically mounted and a window opened on the desktop | 04:19 |
| holycow | with even a limited number of apps supported | 04:20 |
| jnc | MagicFab: crap. it describes using PXE / etherboot | 04:20 |
| jnc | not supported with USB-ethernet | 04:20 |
| mdz | MagicFab: what kind of filesystem do you have on it? | 04:20 |
| MagicFab | mdz> FAT16 | 04:20 |
| holycow | HrdwrBoB, i run 175 systems accross 4000 kms worth of land area *ie. coast to coast* | 04:20 |
| MagicFab | mdz> It's a JumpDrive Trio | 04:20 |
| holycow | having a unix environment that has the ad style capacities would be very helpfull as we are at the very least moving to debian | 04:20 |
| holycow | perhaps ubuntu depending on research :) | 04:21 |
| MagicFab | mdz> running on ubuntu without any upgrades (yet) | 04:21 |
| holycow | and considering its all open source.... we can far outstrip even microsofts wildest dreams of an integrated environment | 04:21 |
| mdz | MagicFab: did you upgrade from Debian or install fresh? | 04:21 |
| mdz | holycow: are you looking at commercial support options? | 04:21 |
| MagicFab | mdz> fresh install, no updates after that (haven't got the Wifi installed yet) | 04:22 |
| holycow | mdz, yes, but novell is out of the question vis a vis suse | 04:22 |
| mdz | MagicFab: assuming you installed the final 4.10 release, there are no updates except security fixes | 04:22 |
| holycow | it has to be debian or debian based | 04:22 |
| mdz | holycow: I meant support options for Debian | 04:22 |
| MagicFab | mdz> ok - strange it doesn't mount | 04:22 |
| max_ | my wireless connection only works if its not encrypted...any ideas | 04:22 |
| holycow | yes and no, right now i'm in the research phase | 04:22 |

| Pizbit | willys: If you mean virtual desktops then yes, and you can add to the taskbar "Work Space Switcher" | 04:27 |
| holycow | sweet, i think with debian you guys will be able to offer many price points, and unique product in comparison to say redhat | 04:28 |

| bur[n] er | i thought debian was waiting till x.org was more mature and to find out whether the monolithic or modular approach to x.org was better | 04:39 |
| bur[n] er | i could be totally wrong | 04:39 |
| holycow | btw, a small thing, but i must congratulate you guys on your apps/computer pulldown menu reorganization | 04:39 |
| holycow | that totally makes sense, and funny, i had hoped to see something like that one day | 04:40 |

| Foxfyre | thanks | 04:49 |

| Pizbit | Foxfyre: Applications menu -> Internet | 04:49 |
| amathis | holy crap | 04:49 |
| Pizbit | amathis: You need to use the marilat(sp) repository | 04:49 |
| kapputu | nope | 04:49 |
| kapputu | the problem could be with the avi | 04:49 |
| amathis | Pizbit, ? | 04:50 |

| kapputu | any idea what the problem is | 04:53 |
| Pizbit | amathis: Thatnpage has all the info you need, if you want to know how to use synaptic then look at the synaptic howto linked in the questionable packages part | 04:54 |

| kapputu | ok | 04:58 |

| amathis | Pizbit^, any other progs? | 05:28 |

| mdz | GotD0t: yes, in a modern operating system, it's rather difficult to say exactly how much memory an individual process is using | 05:30 |
| GotD0t | mdz why is that | 05:30 |
| justdave | I have an interesting situation with the ntp daemon startup on one of my machines... | 05:30 |
| justdave | that machine is also the nameserver for my LAN... | 05:30 |
| justdave | and named starts after ntpd | 05:30 |
| mdz | GotD0t: processes share memory, map files into memory, and other such things which affect that number in unintuitive ways | 05:30 |
| justdave | so it can't find ntp.ubuntulinux.org | 05:30 |
| GotD0t | mdz oh ok | 05:31 |
| justdave | proper solution to that is to stick ntp.ubuntulinux.org in the /etc/hosts file probably? | 05:31 |

| MarLaw | I'm Lawrence, how are all of you ? | 05:42 |
| WW | MarLaw: Just dandy... (but I hope you don't expect all 241 people/bots to answer... it could take a while! :) | 05:43 |
| MarLaw | yes, i mean, just who is listening .. like u! | 05:43 |
| MarLaw | Where are you from WW ? | 05:43 |
| MarLaw | anyway, I heard about ubuntu and I'm take a look around | 05:44 |
| MarLaw | right now i'm using unstable | 05:45 |
| MarLaw | debian | 05:45 |
| Pizbit | Do you use gnome? | 05:45 |
| WW | Pizbit, mdz, others: There was a good idea posted in the mailiing list, concerning a startup web page (or something) that comes up the first time someone logs in. This could point to the FAQ, and also include a prominet reminder about the root password. | 05:45 |
| WW | prominent* | 05:45 |
| MarLaw | Pizbit: I'm using fluxbox but I'm sure ur not talking with me | 05:45 |
| mdz | WW: I think we talked about that, and the consensus was that people ignore things like that :-/ | 05:45 |
| Pizbit | MarLaw: I was. | 05:45 |
| MarLaw | ah ok | 05:46 |
| mdz | if something pops up without being asked for, the impulse seems to be to dismiss it immediately | 05:46 |
| Pizbit | Yup! | 05:46 |
| MarLaw | i tryed .. but i don't feel good with | 05:46 |
| MarLaw | i prefer KDE or fluxbox | 05:46 |
| Pizbit | You'll learn to like gnome;) | 05:46 |
| WW | mdz, Pizbit: Hmmm, true. | 05:46 |
| MarLaw | maybe, but with gnome i have audio problems .. maybw cause i want to use arts + alsa | 05:47 |
| Pizbit | Why arts? All the kde people I talk to despise it. | 05:47 |
| MarLaw | anyway, is possible to upgrade from unstable (one week ago) to ubuntu or i have to wait a while ? | 05:47 |
| aTypical | mdz, I would have read it. :-) | 05:47 |
| mdz | aTypical: but you're atypical | 05:47 |
| MarLaw | u think that ESD is better ? | 05:48 |

| MarLaw | i tryed | 05:52 |
| MarLaw | is too heavy ... usually I put just fluxbox .. | 05:52 |
| mdz | MarLaw: you find Ubuntu's gnome to be too heavy, and your solution is KDE? :-o | 05:53 |
| jdub | ... anyone? | 05:53 |

| mdz | uioo: I was asking whether eject -t worked because I wasn't sure whether the tray-close function of the drive was controllable from software on your system | 06:21 |
| Stalione | mdz, thanks for clarifying that. Usually when as a normal user i see a prompt, I assume its asking for root privs. | 06:21 |
| HrdwrBoB | Stalione: it is asking for root priveleges | 06:22 |
| HrdwrBoB | but you use your own password to access them | 06:22 |

| hypa7ia | emacs is so beautiful but it makes my feeble mind hurt | 07:05 |
| HiddenWolf | All that crimson editor misses is code completion, imho. | 07:06 |
| pigeonflight | we do web development with zope/plone I've found zope + zope external editor + nedit is quite adequate for people coming from windows with a good markup background | 07:06 |
| DracosX | if you don't mind buying a license, (unless something has changed) the Zend IDE is great | 07:07 |
| lanemt | why isn't snytax highlighting enabled by default in vi ? | 07:07 |
| HiddenWolf | If it's got syntax highlighting, is rock-stable, and can actually distinguish between html and php, functions and variables, we'll be getting along. | 07:07 |

| mbb | dracosx: OK, ready. but is the '-print0' a typo, maybe just '-print'? | 07:08 |

| GotD0t | well you can use apache in windows... | 07:15 |
| HiddenWolf | And I don't think the programmers will enjoy recoding the app, clarion is one hell of a language. | 07:15 |
| HiddenWolf | Yes, you can use apache, but the guy that does the server is very familiar with iss, so he doesn't trust apache. :-) | 07:16 |
| GotD0t | oh ok | 07:16 |
| DracosX | similar situation here | 07:17 |
| HiddenWolf | How far along is mono actually. It'd be cool to get an app to work on both nix and windows. | 07:17 |

| timothy | rushibhai: dunno if it's parallel, but one thing you might try if you're running into the same thing with K3B that I just did yesterday: if you can make an image (which shouldn't need it to see your burner at all), see if you can then select "Burn CD Image" (go to the Tools menu at the top of the K3B screen, then select the CD submenu, and "Burn CD Image" should be the bottom choice of the... | 07:41 |
| timothy | ...resulting submenu.) | 07:41 |
| timothy | My K3B worked fine one day, then the next day decided that it could not detect a suitable burner, but I found that the above worked for me; for some reason it could see the burner fine when burning a previously prepared ISO, just not when burning a new CD assembled with its cool disc-content editor. | 07:42 |
| rushibhai | timothy: humm. let me try. thanks. | 07:43 |
| timothy | Heh, aside from whether it will work for you, did I make that sequence understandably clear? | 07:44 |

| rushibhai | timothy: i mean cdrecord on command line.. | 07:45 |
| timothy | rushibhai: yeah, that's about what I thought, too. | 07:45 |
| timothy | cdrecord is great and wonderful for burning ISOs; I'd like K3B (or other burning app -- does Ubuntu have gnometoaster or similar?) for tossing a bunch of files on a disk and hitting a big green "Go!" button ... | 07:46 |

| jdub | tabmoW: the 64MB RAM will be the sore point. | 08:22 |
| jdub | tabmoW: perhaps use xfce or a plain window manager (enlightenment, fluxbox, ...) | 08:22 |
| tabmoW | yer i figured as much... | 08:22 |
| tabmoW | jdub: you mean no kde/gnome? ahhh fooey ;oP | 08:22 |

| jdub | mbb: you might want to validate that it was all copied correctly; how did you do it? | 08:28 |
| ionrock | I am wondering if that has anything to do with my cusor/keyboard crap | 08:29 |
| Micksa | the PXE install will grab the latest packages and everything right? | 08:29 |
| mbb | firefox works, volume control sticks at zero. | 08:29 |
| Micksa | so it's better than the install CD in that respect? | 08:29 |
| magneto | the only thing he did was clone? | 08:29 |
| Micksa | or does the CD install check for updates automatically anyway? | 08:29 |
| jdub | Micksa: yes to the latter | 08:29 |

| thewolf | Hmm, one thing lacking from the website: images of the product. Are there any? | 10:33 |
| p0windah | I didnt copy anything into ~/.fonts/ | 10:33 |

| jdub | p0windah: by copying into the fonts:/// window, you *did* copy it into .fonts :_) | 10:33 |
| jdub | p0windah: and a few moments ago, you verified that it was there :-) | 10:33 |
| jdub | p0windah: if there's an error when you double-click the font, that indicates that something might be wrong - what was the error? | 10:34 |
| p0windah | well I can see it in ~/.fonts/ with another file called .vfs-write.tmp | 10:34 |

| thoreauputic | PunkBuster_: are you sure it's "destroyed"? maybe it's just that the bootloader won't boot it? | 12:39 |
| PunkBuster_ | not quite sure, the bootloader wont load it, and windows install doesn't find it either | 12:40 |
| |trey| | PunkBuster_, thats cuz they default to not repartition... SUSE and Mandrake care so much that they decided to even make it easier for you to have a shitty OS installed... | 12:41 |
| PunkBuster_ | could be some error in my partition table, but i guess the data is there | 12:41 |

| |trey| | Acridien, honestly, if you are not interested enough to do your own research, stick to rpm though :/ | 12:58 |
| thoreauputic | Acridien: it's more the advantage of apt-get and debian's policy with regard to organising repositories etc | 12:58 |
| |trey| | thoreauputic, minus apt-get due to that being available for slack and rpm based distro's... | 12:59 |
| |trey| | (slapt-get and apt-rpm) | 12:59 |
| thoreauputic | Acridien: so it's partly about the package management, partly also philosophical | 12:59 |
| |trey| | General package management and philosophies are why I use Debian systems.. | 01:00 |
| thoreauputic | |trey|: true, it's really policy and better repos and organisation | 01:00 |
| |trey| | Such as the fact that almost every package in the world has been packaged by someone you can trust... | 01:00 |

| mirak | jdub ah ? | 01:29 |
| |trey| | altan, no rename... just mv foo bar | 01:29 |
| altan | trey, that's what I thought, but it says when moving mutliple files, last argument must be a directory | 01:30 |
| Acridien | |trey|: i.e. the sound o can be written "o", "au", or "eau" etc.. :-) whereas in kreyol it is mainly "o" | 01:30 |

| Acridien | |trey|: Voil :-) | 01:30 |
| |trey| | altan, mv foo bar here/ | 01:30 |

| altan | I'mm try crimsun's | 01:32 |

| |trey| | altan, ha, I do that almost daily... but ok... | 01:33 |
| altan | bash: syntax error near unexpected token ";" | 01:34 |
| altan | crimsun, do I have to put this in a separate file? | 01:34 |
| thoreauputic | |trey|: umm... the files he wants to move don't have an extension - hence the error | 01:34 |
| crimsun | altan: remove the ';' after the for | 01:34 |
| crimsun | altan: or type it one line at a time | 01:34 |
| crimsun | zsh syntax differs from bash slightly | 01:35 |

| crimsun | ogra: true. I'm presuming `pwd` != /MP3 | 01:36 |
| altan | I had allt he files backed up, so | 01:36 |
| ogra | altan: so while trying use mv -i, if youre sure it does no harm leave -i | 01:36 |
| altan | ugh it's still prompting me to hold down enter to confirm each file | 01:37 |

| Acridien | I'm wondering how a bad shutdown can affect filesystem | 01:49 |
| |trey| | dredg, umm, the others have NEVER worked... | 01:49 |
| Keybuk | and keep it at esdsink | 01:49 |
| joh_ | wasnt there supposed to be a new wallpaper today? | 01:50 |
| dredg | |trey|: probably because esd is grabbing the dsp, preventing anything else from using it? | 01:50 |
| |trey| | Keybuk, I'm using Hoary, not default yet? | 01:50 |
| Keybuk | |trey|: it's still installable | 01:50 |
| |trey| | dredg, no, NOTHING BUT ESDSINK HAS EVER WORKED... EVEN WITH ESD NOT INSTALLED, WITHOUT IT, RHYTHMBOX JUST DOESN'T WORK... UNDERSTAND? | 01:51 |
| jdub | dredg: you are right :-) | 01:51 |
| jdub | dredg: on some sound cards, there can only be one writer to /dev/dsp | 01:52 |
| jdub | dredg: in which case, esd 'locks' it up | 01:52 |
| jdub | and no other process can open it | 01:52 |
| jdub | thus, we've attempted to get everything talking to esd | 01:52 |
| jdub | not necessary on emu10k1 cards and the like | 01:52 |
| jdub | but easier on everyone | 01:52 |
| |trey| | jdub, umm, he's right if esd is running, nothing else can use it... but without it even installed no other option works :/ | 01:52 |
| ogra | so what about the dmix discussion ? | 01:52 |

| ogra | i know | 01:54 |
| ogra | but i understood the're the discussed alternatives | 01:55 |

| babangida | but when i choose XP | 03:47 |
| babangida | nothing happens | 03:47 |
| cardador | babangida: not good :\ | 03:48 |
| cardador | babangida: maybe you have a screwed partition, happened to me before | 03:48 |
| neur0mancer | hi people. i have little problem with ogg vorbis and rhythmbox. can anybody help me? | 03:48 |
| babangida | i guess my problem is i got GRUB on the MBR | 03:48 |
| babangida | and i should have got it on /boot | 03:49 |
| |trey| | babangida, should be irrelivent... | 03:49 |
| babangida | really? | 03:49 |
| |trey| | I've had it working both ways :/ | 03:49 |
| babangida | well, i just don't know what to do about that issue | 03:49 |
| |trey| | Install GRUB on the first sector of the /boot partition. DO NOT INSTALL IT ON THE MBR!. | 03:49 |
| |trey| | I take that back | 03:50 |
| thoreauputic | babangida: this might help; http://www.google.com/linux?q=lba+kernel+2.6+boot+grub&restrict=linux | 03:51 |
| |trey| | cept I swear that worked... guess not though :/ | 03:51 |
| babangida | any way of fixing that matter without having to reinstall? | 03:51 |
| |trey| | thoreauputic, thats what I did... first link = what I told him ;) | 03:51 |
| cardador | babangida: i had to change the hd geometry from auto to LBA. you can do that on your pc BIOS | 03:51 |
| |trey| | babangida, out of curiosity, how big is windows partition? | 03:51 |
| babangida | 31GB | 03:52 |
| thoreauputic | cardador: that's the relevant bit | 03:52 |
| ogra | babangida: nothing happens means _really_ nothing ? no errors ? | 03:52 |
| cardador | ogra: it was the same with me, black screen only after choosing windows | 03:52 |
| thoreauputic | babangida: read what cardador did ^^^ | 03:53 |
| ogra | babangida: the LBA thing sounds reasonable | 03:53 |
| babangida | all I see is the commands grub has executed when trying to boot windows (that is root(h0,0); chainloader +1,etc...) | 03:53 |
| babangida | but nothing moves | 03:53 |

| Treenaks | |trey|: NO NO NO.. that's booting Linux from the Windows bootloader, that's even worse | 03:54 |
| |trey| | says 'with grub'... | 03:54 |
| ogra | babangida: first try switching on LBA in the BIOS.....if it doesnt work, come back | 03:54 |
| thoreauputic | |trey|: do try to give advice that is sensible, rather than just pulling answers out one after another :/ | 03:55 |
| babangida | can someone briefly explain me what's all that HD geometry stuff? | 03:55 |

| |trey| | babangida, already there... | 04:14 |
| rapha | bob2: Well, detecting my sound card. | 04:14 |
| bob2 | rapha: no | 04:14 |
| bob2 | rapha: the module will be loaded by hotplug | 04:14 |
| cardador | babangida: even if you format your hd, windows wont boot | 04:14 |
| |trey| | babangida, should prolly make it bootable though ;) | 04:14 |
| |trey| | I forget how to do that with fdisk though... | 04:15 |
| cardador | babangida: you have to fix it by changing the LBA thing | 04:15 |
| |trey| | can use cfdisk... pretty straight forward in there... | 04:15 |
| rapha | bob2: Well, it won't. This is an HP OmniBook 4100 with a CS4238B sound chip, and it required some more attention to get it working :/ | 04:15 |
| bob2 | rapha: which alsa module does it use? | 04:15 |

| babangida | ok cardador | 04:16 |
| bob2 | agwibowo: emacs | 04:16 |
| babangida | thanks once again | 04:16 |
| arun-- | anybody has the HP notebook which they sell with linux on it, forgot the model number | 04:16 |
| bob2 | edulix: or screem or mozilla composer | 04:16 |
| |trey| | babangida, listen to cardador | 04:16 |
| cardador | agwibowo: bluefish | 04:16 |
| babangida | going to take a look | 04:16 |
| agwibowo | ok.... | 04:16 |
| babangida | so changing the HD geometry tl LBa should solve it then... | 04:16 |
| thoreauputic | |trey|: he doesn't need to wipe his mbr - he needs to fix his BIOS: this is a known issue with some 2.6.* kernels | 04:16 |
| cardador | babangida: i guess it will | 04:16 |
| ogra | bob2: HP = noapic/nolapic | 04:16 |
| babangida | ok | 04:16 |
| bob2 | haha | 04:17 |
| babangida | thanks! | 04:17 |
| cardador | babangida: look for AUTO on your hd section | 04:17 |
| |trey| | thoreauputic, it would appear his BIOS doesn't support that though... so on to the next idea... | 04:17 |
| rapha | bob2: It works fine with the cs4232 OSS module (loaded manually), but I need ALSA. The appropriate ALSA module would be cs4236, according to the driver database at alsa-project.org. | 04:17 |
| agwibowo | also.... | 04:17 |

| rapha | bob2: Let me look it through. In any case it doesn't show up through either lspci or pnpdump. | 04:22 |
| bob2 | arun--: warty is the stable release | 04:22 |
| babangida | hi once again | 04:22 |
| bob2 | edulix: it requires building your own kernel | 04:22 |
| ogra | arun--: hoary will be in april | 04:22 |
| bob2 | rapha: um, if it didn't show up in lspci, you have bigger problems | 04:22 |
| agwibowo | good night everyone.. | 04:22 |
| agwibowo | thx for the ideas | 04:22 |
| babangida | just came in to thank you |trey| & cardado | 04:22 |
| babangida | r | 04:22 |
| babangida | it worked! :D | 04:22 |
| |trey| | babangida, yay... I think cardador is more to blame for being able to access Windows though ;) | 04:23 |
| babangida | hehehehe | 04:23 |
| babangida | :D | 04:23 |
| babangida | it was just the LBA thing | 04:23 |
| babangida | and it all worked... | 04:23 |
| edulix | bob2: do you know if the next ubuntu will ship with the kernel patched with swusp 2 ? =) | 04:23 |
| === arun-- will only do updates, and upgrades only every 6 months, when a new release is made | ||
| bob2 | edulix: depends if it's stable or not | 04:23 |
| bob2 | edulix: swsusp2 will be in hoary soon | 04:23 |
| rapha | bob2: Nope; nothing about it in dmesg, except for the error messages when I was trying to load modules. | 04:24 |
| ogra | arun--: goood idea;) | 04:24 |
| bob2 | I should ask nigel cunningham | 04:24 |
| |trey| | babangida, ugh, you said that wasn't there? | 04:24 |
| bob2 | rapha: error message? | 04:24 |
| rapha | bob2: Well, it works with the OSS driver. | 04:24 |
| rapha | bob2: Yeah, like "CS4232: soundcard not found or device busy". | 04:24 |
| bob2 | rapha: did you unload the OSS module? | 04:24 |
| cardador | babangida: good to know :) | 04:25 |
| rapha | bob2: I wasn't able to so I cold-rebooted. | 04:25 |
| edulix | BTW, when I boot the pc, when starting hotplug I get plenty of errors related to hp devices and hw_random, in which log are this things stored ? | 04:25 |
| bob2 | rapha: so the OSS module isn't loaded? | 04:25 |
| ogra | bob2: its isa !! | 04:25 |
| rapha | bob2: Correct. | 04:25 |
| bob2 | edulix: it's harmless, /var/log/bootlogd or so | 04:25 |
| bob2 | rapha: oh, it's an ISA device? | 04:25 |
| rapha | ogra: Who would build a laptop with two different bus systems? | 04:26 |

| === ema [~ema@adsl-87-96.38-151.net24.it] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| edulix | bob2: harmless but annoying hehe | 04:26 |
| bob2 | unfortunately, it does happen | 04:26 |
| rapha | bob2: Seems like it, but then why is it not detected by pnpdump? | 04:26 |
| bob2 | edulix: you're rebooting too often then ;-) | 04:26 |
| rapha | (Plus, who builds a laptop with ISA *and* PCI???) | 04:26 |
| bob2 | rapha: that I have no idea about, I only started using linux after I got a pure-pci machine | 04:26 |
| ogra | rapha: dunno, probably cheaper HW | 04:26 |
| bob2 | try asking on the users list | 04:26 |
| mjr | rapha, perchance it's not even a pnp isa chip :) | 04:27 |
| bob2 | I'm not sure if hotplug is supposed to find it or not | 04:27 |
| rapha | ogra: This is an HP OmniBook 4100. This one ain't have been cheap when it was new. | 04:27 |
| edulix | bob2: well, I would not reboot too often if I had software suspend working :P | 04:27 |
| thoreauputic | |trey|: regarding reckless; <thoreauputic> |trey|: he doesn't need to wipe his mbr - he needs to fix his BIOS: this is a known issue with some 2.6.* kernels . Gues what worked? And guess which google search I pointed hime to? | 04:27 |
| bob2 | edulix: hah | 04:27 |
| ogra | rapha: i've seen other weird things :( | 04:27 |
| bob2 | edulix: have you tried swsusp1? | 04:27 |
| rapha | mjr: Well, you can tell the BIOS to auto configure it or choose the ports and stuff yourself | 04:27 |
| edulix | bob2: this is a laptop, not a server | 04:28 |
| edulix | bob2: no, how cna i? | 04:28 |
| rapha | bob2: So you say it should work with the 4281 driver? | 04:28 |
| |trey| | thoreauputic, I saw that... however he had just come back saying he couldn't find this option :/ | 04:28 |
| ogra | rapha: cs423x is for you | 04:28 |
| mjr | rapha, I'd recommend setting it yourself via the BIOS then, and tell the setting to the proper module manually | 04:28 |
| mjr | settings | 04:28 |
| edulix | bob2: If I remmember correctly, it ships with the kernel. but how can I activate it ? | 04:28 |
| ogra | rapha: but dont ask for the setup :( | 04:29 |
| bob2 | edulix: swsup requires no hardware support | 04:29 |
| bob2 | edulix: you need to build your own kernel atm | 04:29 |
| rapha | ogra: Don't ask for what setup? | 04:29 |
| bob2 | rapha: I have no idea about ISA at all | 04:29 |
| edulix | bob2: so not even swsusp 1 is shipped with default ubuntu kernel ? | 04:29 |
| rapha | bob2: Well, I've been using since 1995, so I do have experience with ISA devices. But this thing is a bitch. | 04:29 |
| ogra | rapha: how to set isa stuff up..... | 04:29 |
| === scaroo [~scaroo@f0rk.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| rapha | ogra: Ah, okay. | 04:29 |
| bob2 | edulix: swsup requires major kernel config surgery | 04:29 |
| rapha | Well, I did get it working with OSS :) | 04:30 |
| bob2 | edulix: ie there was not enough time by half to get it going in warty | 04:30 |
| edulix | ahh | 04:30 |
| rapha | ogra: There are many options for that driver. I know I can configure an AdLib port, a "just a port", and an SB port in the BIOS, plus two DMA channels and an IRQ. But the BIOS says nothing about DMA sizes, which are driver options, too. Any idea what the driver might expect here? | 04:31 |
| edulix | well, then if I try to use one, that would be the swsusp 2.1 for 2.6.9, I guess | 04:31 |
| edulix | anyway, now I must go | 04:31 |
| bob2 | yeah | 04:31 |
| ogra | rapha: nope....sorry | 04:31 |
| bob2 | that will be in hoary's kernel soon | 04:31 |

| scaroo | arun--, you can tell vmware to use a physical partition as disk image, so that shouldnt be a problem. actually i boot into my netbsd both from vmware under ubuntu and physicaly | 04:41 |
| ajross_ | what can I do about burning audio cds in Ubuntu - k3b is not workable and neither is xcdroast or gtoaster, anybody ideas? | 04:42 |

| scaroo | is it me or has font rendering improve since upgrade to hoary (gtk2.5.X) ?? | 04:43 |

| Matt| | epod, what card | 05:06 |
| Matt| | epod, not all are working great | 05:06 |
| stvn | Matt|: gnome-terminal is just fine for me | 05:06 |
| |trey| | Matt|, nope, not a huge fan of anything resembling motif :( | 05:06 |
| Matt| | stvn, i find aterm quicker | 05:06 |
| ogra | epod: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:06 |
| Matt| | stvn, does gnome-terminal do transparency? | 05:06 |
| arun-- | Matt|: it does | 05:06 |
| Matt| | arun--, ty | 05:07 |
| |trey| | Matt|, pseudo transparency, yes | 05:07 |
| garabb | Matt: you find the old package in /var/cache/apt/archives | 05:07 |
| epod | Matt|: Modile Radeon 9600 | 05:07 |
| epod | thanks ogra | 05:07 |
| Adric | hello | 05:07 |
| |trey| | Adric, hey | 05:08 |
| Matt| | garabb, the package in that directory has the same version number | 05:08 |
| stvn | Matt|: how do you get transparency in aterm anyway? | 05:08 |
| Adric | i was wondering if someone could help me figure out if the Live CD can play MP3s | 05:08 |
| Matt| | garabb, I presume that aterm has not actually been updated, and it is caused by an update to some other package | 05:08 |
| kasperbn | Does anybody know how I get xserver to show a resolution 1024x786. | 05:08 |
| kasperbn | In the /etc/X11/XFblabla various resolutions are listet, including 1024x786 - but it does'nt work. It's not listed in gnomes resolutionchooser. Any suggestions? | 05:08 |
| Matt| | stvn, -tr | 05:08 |
| Adric | I've read that I need to install a universe section or something, but can you do that on a liveCD? | 05:08 |
| |trey| | Matt|, like I said, try sarges version... should at least be more stable... | 05:08 |
| stvn | Adric: check wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats | 05:08 |
| Matt| | |trey|, i'll have a look thanks | 05:08 |
| arun-- | i dont like the fonts used in aterm by default | 05:08 |
| ogra | kasperbn: your monitor settings my not be correct.... | 05:09 |
| Adric | yeah i read that, but the instructions don't work for the liveCD, maybe i should just get the full cd and install yeah? | 05:09 |
| Matt| | arun--, stvn, so you have it working? | 05:09 |
| kasperbn | ogra: Ok, how do I change them? | 05:09 |
| stvn | Matt|: hm, it is slow, gnome-terminal is faster, resize does blank, move is no problem | 05:09 |
| Matt| | stvn, thanks | 05:09 |
| === altan [~altan@212.253.13.137] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| ogra | kasperbn: easiest is to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 | 05:09 |
| arun-- | Matt|: i dont use aterm atall, and yes i have transparency working in gnome-termnal | 05:10 |
| |trey| | Matt|, file a bug if its in warty main :) | 05:10 |
| Matt| | |trey|, it is not | 05:10 |
| |trey| | hmm :( | 05:10 |
| ogra | kasperbn: keep all defaults except the monitor... | 05:10 |
| kasperbn | ogra, thanks I'll try that | 05:10 |
| Matt| | it is in universe: but the bug must be caused by an update to another package | 05:10 |
| Adric | stvn: I read that url about restricted formats, but either I don't understand enough to make the necessary steps, or they aren't included in the LiveCD. | 05:10 |
| stvn | Matt|: http://home.minst.net/~steven/Screenshot.png is my ubuntu setup with semi- transp. gnome-terminal | 05:10 |
| Matt| | stvn, ok will use that | 05:10 |
| altan | is there a way to have transparency that's actually useful, as in having a manual in the background and being able to see through the term to read it rather than just showing the desktop behind it all? | 05:11 |
| stvn | Adric: ah, liveCD, sorry wasn't paying enough attention, I doubt it is possible in the livecd | 05:11 |
| Adric | can I ask, what exactly is universe? | 05:11 |
| Matt| | stvn, i like your network icons :) | 05:11 |
| stvn | Matt|: suede | 05:11 |
| Adric | stvn coolas :) appreciate! i thought it was like that, i'll just download the full CD at work and install :), what is universe anyway? | 05:11 |
| Kamion | universe == unsupported though free packages; basically the rest of Debian built against Ubuntu | 05:11 |
| stvn | Adric: it is a package repository, you can select packages there to install on your system | 05:11 |
| ogra | altan: will be in hoary in april ;) | 05:12 |
| Matt| | stvn, how do you add those ftp icons? | 05:12 |
| altan | hmm | 05:12 |
| stvn | Kamion: not entierly the rest, discovered today that neither rox-filer nor gmc are there ;) | 05:12 |

| |trey| | stvn, tip for ya... *resize images* ... or atleast lower quality!! ;) | 05:13 |
| Matt| | Kamion, yeah i saw that universe is unsupported. But what happens in a case where a bug is caused in a universe package by a conflict with a main package? | 05:13 |
| stvn | |trey|: i know | 05:13 |
| Mithrandir | Adric: Kamion for instance is, so am I, and a bunch more | 05:13 |
| stvn | Matt|: ah it's conenct to server in the nautilus menu | 05:13 |

| ogra | lol | 05:13 |
| Adric | thanks for the help! i look forward to installing :) right now i have to sleep lol :) only five hours til get up time :) bye!! | 05:13 |

| altan | Matt|, probably, I saw an icon for the iPod in the GNOME icon chooser | 05:18 |
| |trey| | stvn, pretty likely, I was looking for it last time I used XFce, so yeah... I am running Hoary though, and its not in yet :( | 05:18 |

| Kamion | |trey|: no | 06:36 |
| scaroo | dvd, it has been installed according your windows path set in wine.conf | 06:36 |
| |trey| | Kamion, ahh, thats all I noticed to be different :o | 06:36 |
| Kamion | |trey|: expert lowers the debconf priority to low, which affects a whole slew of things. I wasn't aware that server/desktop was asked under any circumstances, since there's no text for it and nothing to do db_input | 06:36 |

| SmokingFire | WW: ok, well mp3 support is not that imporant to me now, its just that can't figure out the best way (setting for my listening pleasure :)) for ogg, so I was thinking of doing flac or wave for now and figure out later what ogg setting is best for me | 07:14 |

| tolstoy | ogra: I think i'm starting to get this installer. It's just a bit confusing with all the menus. | 07:37 |
| Kamion | tolstoy: you certainly don't have to trash and rebuild | 07:37 |

| kent | When installing vmware i need to supply it with where my kernel-headers are. Are they installed by default? they are not in /usr/src. What is the package to install? I cant find a package with 2.6.8.1 in synaptic, and thats the kernel i run, and i guess the default one in Ubuntu since i dont think i changed kernel.. | 09:50 |

| ryan | kent: if you don't choose to manually edit the partition table, it will use the entire disk | 09:56 |

| Acridien | ogra: isn't something weird with the default setting of the mount point in ubuntu | 11:03 |
| Acridien | ogra: for cds | 11:03 |
| ogra | Acridien: why ? | 11:03 |
| Acridien | ogra: do you have an fstab to show me i will compare | 11:05 |
| Acridien | ogra: and my media mount points are strange | 11:05 |
| ogra | Acridien: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 | 11:05 |
| Acridien | ogra: but I don't have a cdrom0 mount point in /media | 11:05 |
| Acridien | ogra: and I didn't remember to have touch it | 11:06 |
| ogra | Acridien: what do you have for cdrom in media ? | 11:06 |
| manusate | how do I activate NTP support for internet time servers? | 11:07 |
| ogra | manusate: its there by default....on boot | 11:07 |
| tuxx | How do I activate my numlock uppon boot? | 11:08 |
| manusate | not working here | 11:08 |
| tuxx | manusate isn't it being set on boot? | 11:08 |
| manusate | hardware clock | 11:08 |
| Acridien | ogra: I have cdrom1 normal and a cdrom which has become an application-octetstream ?!? plus floppy and floppy0 | 11:08 |
| tuxx | manusate on my system Ubuntu syncronises the time on every boot. It's not active but it's being set on boot. | 11:09 |
| Acridien | ogra: how the hell i screwed up that | 11:09 |
| tuxx | manusate if u wanna set it again hit 'sudo /etc/init.d/ntpd start' | 11:09 |
| tuxx | I believe it's ntpd.. something like that | 11:09 |
| manusate | NTP, but how can I change this behavior? | 11:09 |
| ogra | Acridien: seems like you tried to copy or dd something to /media/cdrom | 11:10 |
| tuxx | manusate I have no idea. I've wondered the same but stopped the wonderen since it's of no use when it's being set on boot every day :-) | 11:10 |

| manusate | yeah, ogra | 11:13 |
| ogra | Acridien: if you cd to media before, no | 11:13 |
| ogra | ryan: does: sudo modprobe i2c-nforce2 | 11:14 |

| manusate | or something like that, dunno the exact translation in english | 11:17 |
| ogra | manusate: this requires ntpd, bt this one is pretty active in keeping your clock in sync, causes much traffic | 11:17 |

| altan | ogra: Synaptic refuses to download things unless it has competition for the bandwidth | 11:19 |
| altan | this is by far the stupidest problem I've ever encountered in computers | 11:19 |
| ryan | wheres the ubuntu sound detection stuff | 11:19 |
| manusate | ok | 11:19 |
| manusate | tnx | 11:19 |
| ogra | altan: never seen this...are you on warty ? | 11:19 |
| altan | ogra: yes | 11:20 |
| ogra | ryan: hotplug cares for the sound | 11:20 |
| altan | and it only appears to be with the ubuntu web site | 11:20 |
| altan | I've downloaded 50+ MB things with no problem | 11:20 |
| Acridien | ogra: why do I have a floppy and floppy0 also ?!? | 11:20 |
| ogra | altan: looks more like a prob with the net, then synaptic | 11:20 |
| ryan | ogra: ah | 11:20 |
| altan | but Synaptic/apt and Ubuntu's web site (primary ISO mirror) seem to be too touchy about their standards | 11:21 |
| ryan | i want to tell it to use the nforce driver which has hardware mixing instead of the default :/ | 11:21 |
| altan | ogra: it's just with the ubuntu primary servers, I'm quite sure | 11:21 |

| altan | ogra: I think I temporarily fixed the problem by leaving a window to ping google.com | 11:23 |
| altan | actually I'm not sure if it's a good idea | 11:23 |
| ogra | defendguin: not supported yet afaik | 11:24 |
| ogra | altan: why ? | 11:24 |
| altan | does ping generate enough traffic that I could be banned from google or something? | 11:24 |

| defendguin | ;) | 11:24 |
