| Safari_Al | Hi guys. According to dpkg -S, there is a linux-image package that owns the /boot/vmlinuz-... file. I need to use this package. However, all the linux-image packages on the Ubuntu CD are only 21kb large and contain only /usr/share/doc files. Where can I find the full package for a kernel-image? | 01:08 |
| jief | i'm getting used to that | 01:08 |

| bob2 | ogra: or maybe g-s-t if you're using hoary | 01:08 |

| Pizbit | Pass on why they have fuses though. | 01:33 |
| |trey| | jief, HFS+ = a bridge between HFS and UFS, due to most tools in Darwin expecting UFS, and most Mac apps expecting HFS... very wierd setup but I guess it works... | 01:33 |
| stuNNed | jief, ok, might could use that in mac labs here at school, currently using netrestore which is limited to unicast | 01:33 |
| |trey| | jief, its funny, one is case sensitive, one isn't... must have been a lot of fun to fix that... | 01:34 |
| jief | |trey|: wait til MS releases WinFS, that's just plain weird | 01:34 |
| the_one | see you soon, thanks for the help | 01:34 |

| djtansey | i have a problem re: k3b and am looking for some insight. cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -audio -pad *.wav works when i have a directory of .wav files. but k3b doesn't work. it lists my CD/RW drive as "writes CDs: no" (though it says it writes cd/rws). any guesses? | 01:35 |
| jief | problem is, i haven't tried to image a machine with multiple partitions, but that could be done i'm sure | 01:35 |
| |trey| | s/$hit/stuff/ sorry | 01:35 |
| jief | you'd have to write a small bash script to create the partitions first i guess | 01:35 |
| stuNNed | jief, does it support multicast or unicast or both? | 01:35 |
| |trey| | jief, Novell is actually working on something very simular to WinFS as part of iFolder... seems interesting... :) | 01:36 |
| |trey| | Can't for the life of me recall what it was called though... Simian I think maybe? | 01:37 |
| jief | |trey|: well, i have this promo DVD kit from novell. they have scripts to setup everything, exept LDAP. which bugs me to no end. i never came around to setup all their nice stuff because of that | 01:37 |
| jief | stuNNed: i believe it does | 01:37 |

| bob2 | benh`: are you willing to deal with broken things and to file bug reports? | 04:50 |
| janice | I have an unsupported USRobotics wireless PCI card and I need to use ndiswrapper. Unfortunately, the install cd (Warty 4.10 Full Release) does not have ndiswrapper. What is the URL from the ubutnu website that I can download it from? | 04:50 |
| HrdwrBoB | heh | 04:50 |
| HrdwrBoB | good to hear :) | 04:50 |
| HrdwrBoB | janice: if you start synaptic | 04:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | and you enable 'restricted' | 04:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | you can install ndiswrapper | 04:51 |
| benh` | bob2, depends on how broken and yes | 04:51 |
| Skif | Are SATA cards mostly equivalent, or do some suck more than others, Linux-compatibility-wise? | 04:51 |
| janice | HrdwrBoB: Yes, I tried synaptic. But ndiswrapper does not show up. | 04:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | Skif: HUGEW variation | 04:51 |
| bob2 | benh`: would you run debian unstable? | 04:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | janice: you have to modify the repositories | 04:51 |

| Pizbit | timello: Nah, but it uses the ones from the w32codecs package | 04:52 |
| Pizbit | Well, it might actually, not sure | 04:52 |
| === hypa7ia is thinking the same thing as skif | ||
| benh` | bob2, i have in the past -- i dont care too much as long as dependencies are filled out | 04:52 |
| janice | HrdwrBoB: I checked the repository and it is set to the CDROM drive, which is correct. | 04:52 |
| Skif | HrdwrBoB: so, which ones suck less than others? | 04:52 |
| Pizbit | benh`: It's not desirable unless you really know how to fix stuff | 04:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | janice: you need to add the warty web based repository | 04:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | this should be there, just disabled | 04:52 |
| janice | bob2: I have read the wiki but it only says to use synaptic to download and install ndiswrapper. It doesn't say what to do if the user does not have internet access or if it not on the CDRom (hehe) | 04:53 |
| HrdwrBoB | Skif: I'm not 100% sure, most of them are ok now tbh, but some have weird issues | 04:53 |
| bob2 | janice: you have no other network access? | 04:53 |
| janice | HrdwrBoB: I don't have internet access, which is why I need ndiswrapper. | 04:53 |
| Skif | HrdwrBoB: so, do you know which have said "weird issues"? | 04:53 |
| benh` | Pizbit, well, what should i expect to be broken? | 04:53 |
| Skif | or, alternatively, where I should look to find this out? | 04:53 |

| |trey| | bob2, true... but I suspect most people would expect it to be on Ubuntu's site somewhere... | 05:24 |
| |trey| | bob2, maybe even just host the same stuff... | 05:25 |
| dannoblip | yohannes - it doesnt have audio in place yet, you'd have to make an mp3->iso with mpg123 first, but im not an expert on that | 05:25 |

| |trey| | dannoblip, janice cannot mount a floppy disk... | 05:34 |
| dannoblip | cannot mount or cannot access once mounted | 05:35 |
| mercurus | janice: can you run: cat /etc/fstab |grep fd0 | 05:35 |
| |trey| | dannoblip, neither now, was latter though... | 05:35 |
| dannoblip | strange | 05:35 |
| janice | |trey|: actually, bob2 came to my rescue. bob2 gave me the commands that enabled me to mount the floppy and access it. | 05:35 |
| dannoblip | ok then great | 05:35 |
| |trey| | mercurus, I think maybe /floppy doesn't exist... but thats where /etc/fstab points it would seem... | 05:35 |
| janice | For some reason, Ubuntu would not mount a vfat floppy disk through the Gnome application (nautilus?) | 05:36 |
| mercurus | |trey|: ls -lA /floppy | 05:36 |
| |trey| | mercurus, ... | 05:36 |
| stuNNed | for stable system should i use 'apt-get upgrade' or 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or it doesn't matter? | 05:36 |
| dannoblip | janice- are you running a custom kernel? | 05:37 |
| mercurus | janice: it probably means your fstab file is tryiung to "auto"-detect the floppy's file system, set it to "vfat", rather than "auto" and try again. | 05:37 |
| janice | The command that got the floppy drive to mount is sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt | 05:37 |
| janice | mercurus: how do I set it to default to vfat? | 05:37 |
| janice | Do I edit the fstab file? | 05:38 |
| |trey| | janice, should be able to do mount /floppy worst case... or auto loaded best case... | 05:38 |
| dannoblip | janice - only edit fstab if you want the floppy mounted on startup | 05:38 |
| |trey| | janice, you can just 'mkdir /floppy' then fstab wouldn't complain... | 05:38 |
| dannoblip | nevermind i was confused as to the question | 05:38 |
| janice | |trey| If I mkdir /floppy, that would enable gnome to mount it if I double click the floppy icon in nautilus? | 05:39 |
| mercurus | janice: yes | 05:40 |
| dannoblip | if you mkdir /floppy you are just making a directory to suit you as a mount point | 05:40 |
| |trey| | janice, should, yes... right click > mount volume though... | 05:40 |
| dannoblip | then you dont use the general purpose /mnt | 05:40 |
| mercurus | btw, the mount point should be /media/floppy | 05:41 |
| mercurus | or /media/floppy0 | 05:41 |
| dannoblip | yeah but show me a LSB compliant system that I run and I'll show you a warty warthog | 05:41 |
| |trey| | dannoblip, that was manual because fstab didn't work... fstab is already set to /floppy and so would be easier to fix with mkdir :/ | 05:41 |

| |trey| | [21:25] <janice> Ubuntu says that it cannot find /floppy and something about fstab. I think Ubuntu has not configured the floppy for some reason. What to do! | 05:44 |
| phill | bob2: sorry. how do i enable direct rendering for the fglrx drivers? currently is says it is not | 05:44 |
| mercurus | mine worked out of the box just then ... | 05:44 |
| bob2 | phill: no idea, I don't use binary drivers | 05:45 |
| bob2 | phill: try asking on the list | 05:45 |
| phill | the list? | 05:45 |
| janice | I just noticed something different between the Ubuntu liveCD and the Full Release. In the LiveCD the MSWindows partitions were already mounted and I could browse them easily. However, with the Full Release, they are not mounted and I cannot browse them. Is this the way it should be? | 05:45 |
| bob2 | phill: /topic | 05:45 |
| dannoblip | phill- you have dri enabled in your XF86Config-4"? | 05:45 |
| phill | dannoblip: i think so, the dri module is listed as one to be loaded | 05:45 |
| dannoblip | and yet you have binary... ati?? drivers? | 05:46 |
| |trey| | janice, you can use the same /etc/fstab if you'd like... just cp the/file over... | 05:46 |
| phill | dannoblip: yes binary ati | 05:46 |
| dannoblip | phill- if you have the kernel modules installed, and insmodded, try doing a XFree86 -configure | 05:46 |
| dannoblip | then take a look at what the options are by default for XF86 | 05:47 |
| dannoblip | or have you looked in that direction? | 05:47 |
| phill | no, i haven't. i will have to shutdown x to do that though, yes? | 05:47 |
| dannoblip | yeah you will | 05:47 |
| dannoblip | assuming you are using an x11 irc client | 05:48 |
| dannoblip | try bitchx | 05:48 |
| dannoblip | then you could talk and not have X runnign | 05:48 |

| nomasteryoda | as for Ubuntu and Xfree86, I had an odd problem today | 05:51 |
| paulproteus | The XFree86 -configure step should be doable with X running, from a text terminal. | 05:51 |
| nomasteryoda | on one HD it would install perfectly...on the other it installed but wouldn't log into X | 05:51 |
| nomasteryoda | very odd | 05:51 |
| thoreauputic | janice: the /etc/fstab file :) | 05:52 |

| bob2 | umask=002 lets anyone write to it | 06:17 |
| |trey| | billytwowilly, the actual merge is done... things such as Xorg will come in in time, and GNOME 2.9 as I said is also new... | 06:17 |

| billytwowilly | I'm not big on fixing things, but I really wanted xchat 2.4 | 06:18 |
| |trey| | billytwowilly, still upgrading packages due to it not being frozen, but the merge is complete... | 06:18 |
| |trey| | billytwowilly, if you are paranoid, no... at least wait till after Xorg is in safely :) | 06:18 |

| Pizbit | jdub: o_O? Why's that? | 06:28 |
| billytwowilly | klasiphyd, did you read the ubuntu wiki? there's somethign there about agp errors like that I think | 06:28 |

| billytwowilly | klasiphyd, I don't remember. I just remember reading something about that agp error while trying to get my ati mobility radeon 9700 working. Sorry. | 06:31 |
| Skif | which means that gdm should start as the last thing in init level 2 | 06:31 |

| Skif | x0563511: in fact, rc3.d and rc2.d have exactly the same contents for me | 06:32 |
| billytwowilly | |trey|, it's not complaints about how it's packaged. It's complaints about other things. 1) nautilus. Make it easy to turn off the error not letting me play .wmv files because they have another format inside them (asf). I need a drop down file system menu like the quickbrowser in kde. That thing was gold | 06:32 |

| Skif | x0563511: in that case, don't play around with 'init <foo>', just use it as it comes :) | 06:35 |
| jdub | billytwowilly: debian runlevels do not work the same way as red hat runlevels. | 06:35 |
| billytwowilly | hypa7ia, yours looks nicer than mine, but I probably paid less for mine;) | 06:35 |
| x0563511 | Skif, yes, it does | 06:35 |
| jdub | billytwowilly: the error you're getting with the wmv files is a bug that needs to be fixed. | 06:35 |
| hypa7ia | billytwowilly: quite possibly... but i got mine barebones and didn't pay the M$ tax :-) | 06:35 |
| Skif | x0563511: if it hurts when you do that, then, um, stop doing that? | 06:35 |
| billytwowilly | jdub, can I turn off that prompt? that's just irritating. I know if I'm opening something that will mess up my system too bad or not;) | 06:35 |
| jdub | billytwowilly: no, it's a bug that needs to be fixed. | 06:36 |
| |trey| | jdub, Seems they went to a lot of effort to write the error though... its got a lot of text etc warning about it being unsafe... | 06:36 |
| x0563511 | arg! is there a way to get gnome to behave more like WinXP (windows open in same window, not new... apps appear on RIGHT of task bar, not left) | 06:36 |
| billytwowilly | hypa7ia, me too;) | 06:36 |

| mbb_ | anyone have time/inclination to help me get wireless working? Dlink G650, works with Mepis live CD. Not with Warty (so far!) | 06:36 |
| jdub | |trey|: yes, in the right situations, it's good protection. the dialogue itself is not a bug, of course. | 06:36 |
| |trey| | jdub, would be nice to have a "trust media" option or so... but untrusted should still prompt :) | 06:37 |
| BrittBS | x0563511: to turn of spatial file browsing, under Edit-Preferences, then Behavior, tick Always open in browser windows | 06:37 |
| Skif | x0563511: *shrug* I don't have any nvidia hardware, so I'll take your word for it, but last time I wanted to, I don't recall having to muck with that... I just compiled the kernel bits, rebooted, and poof it was there. | 06:37 |
| jdub | |trey|: no, the solution is to fix the bug. not provide a workaround. | 06:37 |
| Skif | Admittedly, that was, what, 4 years ago? Maybe 5? | 06:37 |
| thoreauputic | x0563511: and you can move stuff around on the taskbar | 06:37 |
| billytwowilly | jdub, yah, it seems like they put it in on purpose, but then forgot that wmv has asf video. I'd like to just turn it off. | 06:37 |
| x0563511 | Skif, the nvidia installer wines about X running, you have to shut it down first | 06:37 |
| Skif | ah | 06:37 |
| |trey| | jdub, I don't understand how its a bug :( | 06:37 |
| billytwowilly | nvidia hardware is cake to install | 06:38 |
| jdub | |trey|: the dialogue appearing in that situation is a bug, because the media types should be understood. | 06:38 |
| x0563511 | Well, im running windows still, and just learning linux, so i will take as many similarities (at first) as i can | 06:38 |

| x0563511 | thoreauputic, no effect. I have a 3 button, USB mouse, emulate3button set to false | 06:39 |
| billytwowilly | oh yah, and gnome doesn't appear to have the middle click/right click on maximize to vertically or horizontally maximize a window, which was awesome in kde | 06:40 |
| |trey| | Skif, I find ctrl+l useful... that pretty much takes care of all the problems I had at first with it :) | 06:40 |
| x0563511 | thoreauputic, but emulate3button was true by default, till i cought it while updating my XF86config-4 for nvidia | 06:40 |

| janice | I cannot log in as a user anymore. I edited the one user in the User and Groups | 07:03 |
| don | Gah, how do you make a new file in the command prompt | 07:03 |
| x0563511 | mercurus, well, gnome can read it fine using SMB://L103/c$ | 07:03 |
| |trey| | x0563511, modprobe smbfs | 07:03 |
| seek187 | I seen universe in synaptics but thats it | 07:03 |
| janice | Specifically, I changed the original user 'ahood1' to just 'ahood' | 07:03 |
| mercurus | x0563511: yes ... but that doesn't mean Samba will like the syntax ... | 07:03 |
| x0563511 | i found smbfs on synaptic, it wasnt installed | 07:03 |
| mercurus | janice: what did you change about the user ? | 07:03 |
| |trey| | seek187, in that same text field, type [space] multiverse and reload | 07:03 |
| x0563511 | mercurus, ill test it with mount before i fstab it | 07:04 |
| thoreauputic | don: touch <file. to create an empty file, use abn editor to make one with content | 07:04 |
| stuNNed_ | will mozilla sunbird ever be added to ubuntu repo's? | 07:04 |
| jdub | x0563511: you mentioned something about the window list being weird? | 07:04 |
| don | k | 07:04 |
| mercurus | mount -t smbfs //L103/c\$ /windows | 07:04 |
| janice | I think I also changed the directory setting /home/ahood1 to /home/ahood, but I did not actually create the /home/ahood directory. | 07:04 |
| x0563511 | i get this after it askes for a password: "7650: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)" | 07:04 |
| nevyn | thoreauputic: what's wrong with touch file? | 07:04 |
| x0563511 | and i know i typed the password correctly | 07:04 |
| thoreauputic | don: sorry touch <file> , edit | 07:04 |
| |trey| | stuNNed_, probably when its considered more stable... although likely not a default candidate due to overlap with Evolution... | 07:04 |
| mercurus | janice: ok, edit /etc/passwd and change it back | 07:05 |
| aitrus | x0563511: -o username=theuser%thepass | 07:05 |
| mercurus | then try and login again | 07:05 |
| janice | So, when I try to log in, I get a message saying that it cannot log in because the directory does not exist. | 07:05 |
| seek187 | lol now im getting confused | 07:05 |
| thoreauputic | nevyn: err nothing | 07:05 |
| seek187 | text field? | 07:05 |
| mercurus | that said, a user with no home directory should still be able to log in. | 07:05 |

| x0563511 | hmm | 07:05 |
| janice | mercurus: can I do this from a terminal? | 07:05 |
| don | thoreauputic, it's still not creating it..? | 07:06 |
| x0563511 | aitrus, got it | 07:06 |
| mercurus | janice: yes, manually edit /etc/passwd as root and change the /home/ahood to /home/ahood1 | 07:06 |
| thoreauputic | don: it must. What command did you use? | 07:06 |
| |trey| | x0563511, also, on top of mount smbfs, apt-get install smbfs... | 07:06 |
| x0563511 | aitrus, have to leave it at -o username=<user> and enter the password at prompt | 07:06 |
| mercurus | or whatever the directory was called | 07:06 |
| don | touch phpinfo.php | 07:06 |
| aitrus | x0563511: you can trying -o username=theuser,password=thepass | 07:07 |
| aitrus | x0563511: err... you can try | 07:07 |
| seek187 | Ohhhhh nevermind I get it I got multiverse to work now thanks | 07:07 |
| thoreauputic | don: OK - what does ls -l phpinfo.php say in that dir? | 07:07 |
| don | ls: phpinfo.php: No such file or directory | 07:07 |
| |trey| | aitrus, that would be better done via kerberos (default for windows), or maybe gpg if its all windows... | 07:07 |
| x0563511 | aitrus, nope. | 07:07 |
| thoreauputic | don: touch gives no error messages? | 07:08 |
| janice | mercurus: how do I edit manually from a terminal? Do I use vi? I need a simple way (hehe) | 07:08 |
| don | touch: cannot touch `phpinfo.php': No such file or directory | 07:08 |

| thoreauputic | don: what are you wanting to do? create and edit that file? | 07:09 |
| janice | mercurus: Or do I just type edit /etc/passwd? | 07:09 |
| jdub | x0563511: you had a comment about the window list? | 07:09 |
| x0563511 | huh? | 07:09 |
| don | just create a php file in my /var/www/ | 07:09 |
| billytwowilly | If I want something to run on user login (ie mount /mnt/hc) where would I put that? | 07:09 |
| mercurus | janice: vim is probably your best option | 07:09 |
| aitrus | |trey|: yeah... it would be better overall if it wasn't mounted at all using smb cause of uid/permission issues... =) | 07:09 |
| thoreauputic | don: try sudo touch instead | 07:09 |
| don | I am :P | 07:09 |
| aitrus | |trey|: but you're right... i just don't know off the top of my head how to do that stuff | 07:09 |
| thoreauputic | don: user probably can't write to that dir | 07:09 |
| jdub | x0563511: much earlier, you said: "apps appear on RIGHT of taskbar, not left" | 07:10 |
| don | What is the default directory for apt's apache2 htdocs folder? | 07:10 |
| x0563511 | jdub, other way around, they appear on the left, instead of the right (like im used to) | 07:10 |

| janice | mercurus: The problem is that I cannot really log in because because I get that error message. I can choose to lot in a failsafe terminal though. | 07:11 |
| x0563511 | jdub, correct. Including the /windows folder, X-Chat, XMMS, and snyaptic atm | 07:11 |

| mercurus | janice: I thought you had a root terminal ... | 07:12 |
| mercurus | ok, janice hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 | 07:12 |
| mercurus | then login normally | 07:12 |
| janice | I did, but I logged out. | 07:12 |

| |trey| | aitrus, later | 07:13 |
| mercurus | janice: you logged out, or you were logged out by the system ? | 07:13 |
| x0563511 | jdub, Lets say i have one application open, XMMS. I open another app, and instead of that app showing to the right of the XMMS bar, it appears to the left | 07:13 |
| don | What is the default directory for apt's apache2 htdocs folder? | 07:13 |
| x0563511 | jdub, i call them bars, but they are like the task bar in windows | 07:13 |
| BrittBS | don: /var/www/ | 07:13 |

| ttikk | ubuntu is a nice tweak on debian | 07:14 |
| |trey| | seek187, mount -o you,defaults,umask=002 | 07:14 |
| ttikk | makes a bit easier to get going out of the box | 07:14 |

| x0563511 | YAY! My dj dawn mixes are streaming over smb now! into a mounted directory too! | 07:14 |
| |trey| | ttikk, plus its pretty close to how I usually set up my GNOME configurations anyways... so thats handy :) | 07:14 |
| janice | mercurus: actually, I rebooted. The system did not log me out. | 07:14 |
| don | Why does it keep going to 'apache2-default' ? | 07:14 |
| x0563511 | jdub, that works :) | 07:14 |
| BrittBS | don: it's set up that way in /etc/apache2/site-enabled/default | 07:15 |
| mercurus | janice: explain where you are, and what you are doing, and what you're trying to achieve - you've lost me completely. | 07:15 |

| jdub | x0563511: go to computer > home, then run the calculator. look at which side they appear on. | 07:15 |

| x0563511 | nevyn, ive tried that. for some reason, they got different IP addresses, but my sniffer was showing them using identical MACs. | 07:38 |

| |trey| | x0563511, no, thats the whole thing... | 07:41 |
| BrittBS | janice: to break it down, you need to edit a file that contains configuration info about superusers for your system, but it's mandated that you use a text editor, vi, to do it. vi can be a bit cryptic to new users, so if you just follow the instructions i posted above one at a time, you should be good to go | 07:41 |
| x0563511 | |trey|, hmm, i can set all 6 bytes | 07:41 |

| x0563511 | |trey|, huh? | 07:43 |
| |trey| | x0563511, might have difficulty explaining it to your ISP though... | 07:43 |
| x0563511 | |trey|, well, what i do is change my MAC to some arbitrary value (ei 0E:FF:70:CC:DF:01) and just use that | 07:44 |

| |trey| | thoreauputic, because, if you know your way around vi, its a lot faster to get such things done... | 07:47 |
| |trey| | thoreauputic, vim was designed with administration of config files in mind... | 07:48 |
| thoreauputic | |trey|: I think you missed the point - I was trying to find easier ways for janice to do what she needs to do | 07:48 |
| x0563511 | im my mind, simple = easier (not faster) | 07:48 |
| x0563511 | i like nano for managing grub, fstab, ect | 07:48 |
| thoreauputic | |trey|: and once again, you are kind of preaching to the choir :) | 07:48 |

| thoreauputic | I don't doubt it :) | 07:49 |
| x0563511 | Hey, what is this "Evolution" groupware useful for? | 07:49 |
| nevyn | |trey|: spoofing a mac is only a local attack anyway | 07:49 |
| jdub | thoreauputic: visudo is very helpful, it double-checks your changes before saving them. if you set EDITOR, it will use whichever editor you define. | 07:49 |
| jdub | x0563511: mail, calendar, contacts, etc. | 07:49 |
| x0563511 | nevyn, its kinda pointless to spoof a MAC to attack your own two computer network, unless your auditing | 07:49 |
| thoreauputic | jdub: ah I see - thanks I didn't know it did checks :) | 07:49 |
| x0563511 | OOH! | 07:50 |
| x0563511 | Terminal Services Client! | 07:50 |
| nevyn | x0563511: if you're playing with local attacks btw.. have a look at ettercap | 07:50 |
| x0563511 | that will let me connect to my windows XP Remote Desktop | 07:50 |
| BrittBS | thoreauputic: from the man page, visudo edits the sudoers file in a safe fashion, analogous to vipw(8). visudo locks the sudoers file against multiple simultaneous edits, provides basic sanity checks, and checks for parse errors. If the sudoers file is currently being edited you will receive a message to try again later. | 07:50 |

| mercurus | eg. I've installed all the codecs and I'm happy with totem-xine ... can I link mozilla to it, rather than having mplayer as well ... and if so, is there a package to do so ? | 07:54 |
| |trey| | jdub, would need X and GNOME atleast, right? thats atleast 300-500MB... | 07:54 |

| |trey| | jdub, I don't see how its possible... I only have 6 hours per day that can't be spent learning :( | 08:01 |
| htaccess | um in kde there is an applet called klipper which holds the clipboard with a history, is there something similar for gnome? | 08:01 |
| |trey| | well, learning what I want, I'm still at school though... | 08:01 |
| jdub | htaccess: not by default, no | 08:02 |
| BrittBS | jdub: can't because it hasn't been implemented in gnome-session or can't because it's not technically practical? | 08:02 |
| janice | BrittBS: Same problem. I appreciate the help though. The problem stems from the fact that I had changed the directory name, but it does not exist. | 08:02 |
| |trey| | htaccess, the clipboard is one thing that annoys me about GNOME... needs a daemon that remembers the clipboard if you close an app... | 08:02 |

| htaccess | jdub: i was afraid of that, i remember trying to find on once, and did, but i didnt get it working (dont remember its name) | 08:03 |
| jdub | htaccess: the reason it's not there is because if you copy 100MB worth of stuff, klipper automatically copies it. that gets bad, fast. :-) | 08:03 |
| BrittBS | jdub: hmm. ok well i need to look at the vino details a bit more | 08:04 |
| jdub | htaccess: so there have been a couple written for gnome, but none have got it right so far (it's very hard, and requires deeper changes than just writing a clipboard daemon) | 08:04 |
| htaccess | jdub: yes I guess, surely if that was a real problem they could make any particular entry limited to some size | 08:04 |
| htaccess | doesnt sound like a good reson not to have a functional clipboard | 08:05 |
| jdub | htaccess: unfortunately, you can't :) | 08:05 |

| sid77 | here | 09:37 |
| sid77 | pbook 867 | 09:37 |
| Gnat42 | I have the 15" screen | 09:38 |
| Gnat42 | and its at res 1024x768 | 09:38 |
| Gnat42 | so I have a large black bar to the right | 09:38 |
| Gnat42 | the gui config doesn't let me pick the right one (nothing larger then 1024) | 09:38 |
| Gnat42 | but I chose the higher resolutions on install? | 09:38 |
| Gnat42 | how do I change it? | 09:38 |
| calc | edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 | 09:39 |
| Gnat42 | I can't seem to get xrandr to work either. | 09:39 |
| Gnat42 | I added "1280x854" to the Screen location at depth 24 | 09:39 |
| Gnat42 | since that was the default depth | 09:39 |
| calc | that didn't work? | 09:39 |
| Gnat42 | checking | 09:39 |
| calc | all i had to do on my amd64 laptop was add "1280x800" for its screen | 09:39 |
| Pizbit | Gnat42: Check to see if the horizsync and vertsync numbers in the monitor section match the specs of your monitor | 09:40 |
| Gnat42 | logged out | 09:40 |

| Pizbit | Gnat42: You have to completly restart X | 09:40 |
| Gnat42 | how so? | 09:40 |
| Pizbit | Gnat42: logout, then hit ctrl+alt+backspace | 09:41 |
| sid77 | does centrino wlan works under ubuntu? | 09:41 |
| calc | log out and hit ctrl-alt-backspace | 09:41 |
| Gnat42 | okay | 09:41 |
| Gnat42 | k | 09:41 |
| Gnat42 | did that | 09:41 |
| Gnat42 | no go | 09:41 |
| Gnat42 | I saw atfb128 not enough memory for mode... | 09:41 |
| calc | sid77: i think so | 09:42 |
| Gnat42 | perhaps I'm looking for a higher res then my system can handle. | 09:42 |
| Gnat42 | I looked it up on the website | 09:42 |
| Gnat42 | though perhaps I had a newer model | 09:42 |
| calc | maybe so, try setting 16bit to be default | 09:42 |
| Gnat42 | lets try again... | 09:42 |
| calc | though that should only be ~ 3MB | 09:42 |
| subterrific | add other depths for that color mode | 09:42 |
| Gnat42 | its a G4 400 | 09:42 |

| jind | pisuke, probably | 01:27 |
| jind | But it depends on what card and chip you have | 01:27 |
| phill | its working! | 01:28 |
| pisuke | jind, radeon 9200 | 01:28 |
| Mithrandir | phill: and I didn't even touch anything. :) | 01:28 |
| pisuke | I was just asking if the fuss will be worth it | 01:28 |
| jind | Then it probably isn't any read advantage in 2d | 01:28 |
| kasperbn | How do I use find to search the harddisk for a specific file. I tried with: find / filename -But then it lists all files. I only want it to list the "results" | 01:28 |
| magneto_ | pisuke - yeah i dont think any xfree drivers were meant specifically for anything after g200 radeon 7500 | 01:29 |
| phill | Mithrandir: sometimes it helps just to go through things with someone else :) | 01:29 |
| daniels | magneto_: the matrox g5xx cards are perfectly supported | 01:29 |

| daniels | magneto_: and you will get full 3d on anything up to and including radeon 9250 | 01:29 |
| daniels | magneto_: the problem in this case is neither ati nor x.org | 01:29 |
| jind | I have heard that the techology in the ati xorg drivers can keeo up in 2d up to radeon 9200 | 01:30 |
| phill | to answer the 2d question: i can't see any difference in gnomes performance between fglrx and ati, but my tvcard doesn't work with fglrx, so that might be a problem | 01:30 |
| darkersatanic | kasperbn: find / -name filename | 01:30 |
| magneto_ | i get full 3d now with xfree | 01:30 |
| daniels | the standard ati (x.org) drivers do full 2d for every released ati card (and some unreleased ones) | 01:30 |
| daniels | they do full 3d for everything up to 9250 | 01:30 |
| darkersatanic | kasperbn: Check out the man page for find... | 01:30 |
| kasperbn | darkersatanic: Thanks | 01:30 |
| magneto_ | the drivers for all ati in xorg6.8 are broken horribly- supposedly -my card worked fine although with no 3d and with alot poorer performance- wait does that = fine? | 01:31 |
| daniels | magneto_: that does not mean 'broken horribly'. | 01:31 |
| jamaas | I'm attempting to get slmodem-2.9.10 to compile and not having any luck, anyone care to have go? I'm a bit of a newbie here! | 01:31 |
| Treenaks | daniels: will they ever do more than "up tp 9250" ? | 01:31 |
| daniels | Treenaks: for 3D/ | 01:32 |
| Zindar | yes.. I'll get to install ubuntu on a mac soon.. this is fun :) | 01:32 |
| Treenaks | daniels: yes | 01:32 |
| magneto_ | daniels: the ati cards do 3d too- 3d cards with no 3d in the drivers = trash | 01:32 |
| Zindar | does anyone know how partition resizing is done then? | 01:32 |
| daniels | Treenaks: as I said, the problem is neither ATI nor X.Org | 01:32 |
| daniels | Treenaks: i hope to see 3D fine | 01:32 |
| daniels | magneto_: in your opinion | 01:32 |
| magneto_ | daniels: many people buy ati cards for their 3d rendering ability | 01:33 |
| Treenaks | daniels: so it's just "please wait while we update the driver to support 3d in >9250 cards" | 01:33 |
| magneto_ | to have that disabled is nonsensical | 01:33 |
| daniels | Treenaks: 'please wait for bureauracy' | 01:33 |
| Treenaks | daniels: ah | 01:33 |
| pisuke | I think i'll stay with ati instead of fglrx. if ain't broke don't fix it :) | 01:34 |
| magneto_ | ati has no problem as long as you use windows | 01:34 |
| daniels | magneto_: i have an ati card here which works perfectly with 3d :) | 01:34 |
| magneto_ | Daniels: me too but everyone does not | 01:34 |
| daniels | this is true | 01:35 |
| === p0int [point@203.130.197.108] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| daniels | anyway, as I've said, this is neither ATI nor X.Org's fault | 01:35 |
| daniels | so let's stop casting blame at them both | 01:35 |
| magneto_ | ? | 01:35 |
| magneto_ | xorg released a version which crippled a whole large group of users | 01:35 |
| phill | what's a decent bittorrent client for gnome? something like abc/azureus (but doesn't need java) | 01:36 |
| magneto_ | ati has slacked on supporting linux until the last minute when nvidia started stealing customers | 01:36 |
| daniels | magneto_: because that's all they could release. you can't just write a driver having nothing but the card you're writing it for. | 01:36 |
| magneto_ | they are both to blame | 01:36 |
| daniels | magneto_: no, this is not true. | 01:36 |
| jamaas | Hey guys, where might I go to find some help with modem drivers? | 01:36 |
| daniels | magneto_: the drivers do not support 3D on r3xx/r4xx. this is not ATI's fault. this is not X.Org's fault. | 01:36 |
| magneto_ | daniels - 6.7 works fine though | 01:36 |
| phill | which modem? | 01:37 |
| magneto_ | daniels: im referring to the 6.7 -> 6.8 breakage | 01:37 |

| magneto_ | well 6.8 isnt supposed to stable is it? | 01:41 |
| daniels | it is | 01:42 |

| stvn | kensai: in terminals, you need to edit your profile | 03:24 |
| jdub | kensai: edit current profile | 03:24 |

| Gmail | stvn: no need for sudo pppconfig was edit to call sudo i look and the link in /usr/bin | 03:26 |

| Gmail | bob2: i said if they give it for free its free how is that a yes or no question | 04:31 |
| bob2 | Gmail: it's a "you are wrong" sort of question | 04:32 |
| daniels | Gmail: it's all highly hypothetical, hoary release is still months away | 04:32 |

| rcaskey_ | Isn't hoary getting a new package selection utility? | 05:04 |
| daniels | shaver: not lists as such, but there is update-rc.d | 05:04 |
| daniels | rcaskey_: um, synaptic? | 05:05 |
| rcaskey_ | I thought there was somethign else | 05:05 |
| shaver | yeah, update-rc.d is great when you know what change you want to effect | 05:05 |
| shaver | but when you don't know from debian, it's hard to guess what the effects are | 05:05 |
| rcaskey_ | Easy package install GUI (JeffWaugh, talking to RossBurton), thought that was something besides synaptic | 05:05 |

| rcaskey_ | mvo: what's the general idea? | 05:07 |

| rcaskey_ | mvo: it would be a web page link that added things to my sources.list | 05:09 |
| xuzo | daniels: downgrading to warty version doesnt solve the problem, fonts look fuzzy when subpixel hinting is active | 05:09 |
| mvo_ | rcaskey_: that would be indeed cool (and a security problem) | 05:09 |
| rcaskey_ | and it wouldn't look like anything | 05:09 |

| daniels | shaver: manually removing links and update-rc.d, that is | 05:16 |
| rcaskey_ | and then we could just have a software catalog web page link in the menu | 05:16 |
| shaver | update-rc.d wants the package to be gone, no? | 05:16 |

| burnboy | i'm having some serious problems with audio..anyone else have the startup sound in GDM get stuck and loop just a snippet? or kaboodle/media player has problems? | 05:16 |
| daniels | if you move the file out of the way, dpkg will not attempt to replace it unless you ask it to | 05:16 |
| daniels | if you run update-rc.d -f remove foo, it will remove the rc*.d symlinks | 05:16 |

| rcaskey_ | mvo: it could be confusing as well though | 05:19 |
| rcaskey_ | the real danger is not that people install stuff accidently, it's that thtey have dangling sources in their list when they aren't using applications from there anymore | 05:19 |
| rcaskey_ | third party packages cause conflicts, period | 05:20 |
| rcaskey_ | if not at first, eventually there will be a user who wants to upgrade from 2 to 3, and then you have conflicts again | 05:20 |
| mvo_ | it sounds a lot like the "point-and-click" install from this lindows distro | 05:20 |
| rcaskey_ | mvo: never used Lindows | 05:20 |
| mvo_ | neither did I, I read about it | 05:20 |
| rcaskey_ | mvo: but that's my suggestion, becasue it empowers third party software developers | 05:21 |
| fissy | anyone know how to disable exchange in evolution? | 05:22 |
| rcaskey_ | maybe there should be an "Official Ubuntu" image or something to reflect software that provides its own version of all non-base software | 05:22 |

| twise | i get "no device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_22_0" | 05:28 |
| sjoerd | oh beh, 22_0 is hdc | 05:28 |
| sjoerd | try /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_3_64 (or check info.udi in h-d-m) | 05:29 |
| twise | that fixed it - how do i make it permanent? | 05:29 |
| twise | and should i report this somewhere so others can benefit? | 05:30 |
| sjoerd | k that's interesting | 05:30 |
| sjoerd | twise: did you really notice the performance slowdown or was it just hdparm | 05:31 |
| twise | both | 05:33 |
| twise | starting evolution went from dog slow to fast | 05:33 |
| sjoerd | so it's actually the first (aka not just hdparm) | 05:33 |

| utis | ChrisH: thank you. | 06:49 |
| ChrisH | utis: xxd just does not screw your terminal :) | 06:49 |
| utis | oh, that means if nothing is screwed up with cat, then the mouse is not detected/connected? | 06:50 |
| ChrisH | utis: cat is quite the same... just that control character from psaux may make your terminal output stop. | 06:51 |
| utis | hm, in that case I suspect that some drivers are not loaded. I need to enable my laptop touchpad. | 06:52 |

| m00se | hi | 08:18 |
| m00se | are there any known problems with xfs support in hoary? | 08:19 |
| nefertati | i just typed la /mnt but i dont what it means lol because i wanted to run scan modem so i can find any drivers for my modem | 08:19 |
| nefertati | :) | 08:19 |
| nefertati | lol | 08:19 |
| utis | nefertati: /mnt is empty as long as you don't "mount" a partition there. | 08:19 |
| nefertati | so how can mount the partition? | 08:19 |
| utis | Here's a recipe (everything typed at a terminal): 1. sudo fdisk -l | 08:20 |
| nefertati | yes... | 08:20 |
| utis | This should list all partitions on your drive. | 08:20 |
| nefertati | yes... | 08:20 |
| utis | look for the last column. You need the row with NTFS or vfat or some other MS Windows file system. | 08:21 |
| === erik [~user@66.252.41.226] has left #ubuntu ["ERC] | ||
| utis | The first column of that row tells you which device on your GNU/Linux system refers that partition. | 08:21 |
| utis | Say, it is "/dev/hda1" (which is most likely the case). | 08:22 |
| nefertati | was it wrong that i formatted the partition with linux ext2 ? or had to format it with ntfs ? | 08:22 |
| utis | Then 2. type sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt | 08:22 |
| === wfx [~wfx@M1435P019.adsl.highway.telekom.at] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| utis | After that ls /mnt should show the root directory of your MS Windows partition. | 08:22 |
| nefertati | then? | 08:22 |
| utis | then? | 08:23 |
| nefertati | should i install ubuntu again? | 08:23 |
| utis | no, why? | 08:23 |
| nefertati | with ntfs or leave that way? | 08:23 |
| utis | I think that ntfs is a really bad choice for a GNU/Linux installation, if it is possible at all. | 08:23 |
| jeff__ | utis> cannot be done. | 08:23 |
| jeff__ | utis> vfat, yes, but not ntfs. | 08:24 |
| nefertati | i know that ntfs is for windows and especially for win xp | 08:24 |
| jeff__ | nefertati> correct. | 08:24 |
| utis | jeff__: at least there's read-support ... | 08:24 |
| nefertati | so i put linux ext2 | 08:24 |

| mauri | hi all. I am looking at installing debian for my brother, but I don't think he's up to all the configuring.

| redemption | hmtr, Yeah I tried that to no avail. It seemslike ubuntu's version of gnome is slighty off, in that gnome has a gui for changing associations that I can't find on ubuntu. | 10:02 |
| Mithrandir | kensai: for copying the files? mount the new hd somewhere and run cp -ax / /newplace, making sure to repeat for each of your partitions | 10:03 |

| Mithrandir | kensai: if you don't feel comfortable mucking about in a terminal, I'd recommend installing onto the new drive, then copying your user data over afterwards. | 10:04 |

| borgmeister | well, its a nice distro | 11:18 |
| borgmeister | but very immature | 11:18 |

| borgmeister | and it uses RPM | 11:18 |

| JStrike | I have to agree with borgmeister. Ubuntu is truly excellent. Except for the piece of crap that is synaptic | 11:23 |
| Matt| | mauri, i agree | 11:23 |
| borgmeister | i guess its a matter of opinion, but i find that the way ubuntu uses gnome is very effective | 11:23 |
| borgmeister | yoper only has redimentary gnome supprt | 11:23 |
| will | Matt| i have installed this package before thats the strange thing! | 11:23 |
