| janice | Matt| I don't have connectivity yet, although the wireless option does appear in the Network settings | connectivity window. I suspect I don't have connectivity because I did not specify a channel. Where do I specify a channel for the wireless? | 12:00 |

| Elroy-J | mfen, maybe turn off unstable.....then use apt-get upgrade.....or synaptic | 12:01 |
| MFen | i've already removed the unstable archive, i just need to know how to select only the most recent version from the existing archive | 12:01 |
| dmzen | thanks WW | 12:01 |
| MFen | Elroy-J: apt-get upgrade isn't going to do jack. all the unstable packages are already newer than the ubuntu packages.. that's the main problem | 12:01 |
| MFen | and synaptic doesn't have a way to select an archive at all | 12:01 |

| Tenniru | I read it... | 04:27 |
| Tenniru | It said th... wait. | 04:27 |
| Tenniru | I must have jumped to the patch. | 04:27 |
| bob2 | Tenniru: no, you didn't, the bug report mentioned both those as possible solutions | 04:27 |
| bob2 | yes. | 04:27 |
| bob2 | the patch only helps if killing hal does | 04:27 |

| bob2 | "sudo kill hald" will work | 04:29 |
| bob2 | try that and then see if it wakes up | 04:29 |

| bob2 | jay__: well, it's highly unlikely to | 04:31 |
| Tenniru | YES! | 04:31 |
| Tenniru | It works! | 04:31 |
| bob2 | jay__: file a bug on libapache2-mod-php4 | 04:31 |

| bob2 | the patch should have worked then | 04:31 |
| bob2 | since all it did is kill hal | 04:32 |

| sch1fo | why | 04:50 |
| bob2 | because you're infintely more likely to get an answer | 04:51 |
| Pizbit | Because the user-list is well populated with knowledgable people;) | 04:51 |
| sch1fo | why should i keep up with this and not simply install fedora instead | 04:51 |
| sch1fo | thats what im asking guys | 04:51 |
| bob2 | sch1fo: do whatever you want | 04:51 |
| sch1fo | what would you do | 04:51 |

| bob2 | choudesh[away] : turn that off | 04:52 |
| sch1fo | how useful can it be | 04:53 |
| sch1fo | i cant even boot up | 04:53 |

| bob2 | choudesh[away] : it's extremely annoying and I've asked you politely 3 times now | 04:53 |
| bob2 | toothpick: no | 04:53 |

| Pizbit | Tried the rescue mode? | 04:56 |
| sch1fo | press the off button on my laptop, then starts to reboot (unloading crap) | 04:56 |
| sch1fo | pizbit, im not a linux expert | 04:56 |
| Pizbit | sch1fo: Hit ESC when the grub stuff first appears, but it sounds like it's just a mis-configured X, no biggy really | 04:56 |
| sch1fo | then what | 04:57 |
| XLX | reconfigure X | 04:58 |
| sch1fo | i dont even know how | 04:58 |
| Pizbit | sch1fo: I'm pointing out that it's most likely not as big a problem as you're thinking, email the user list witht he specs of your laptop, make and model and that after the ""starting gnome display manager" the screen stays black | 04:59 |

| vortex25 | install gxine | 07:29 |
| vortex25 | and then use totem again | 07:29 |
| vortex25 | and see if that installs the files you needed to do it, I installed gxine also and I don't have problems | 07:30 |
| erek | what is ubuntu like? compared to say gentoo? | 07:30 |
| Tsjoklat | easier | 07:30 |

| Mestapheles | what's ubuntu comapred to debian sarge? | 07:30 |
| Tsjoklat | a million times better Mestapheles | 07:30 |
| hypa7ia | Mestapheles: more up to date | 07:30 |
| hypa7ia | i'm running both | 07:30 |
| blacknyx | yeah what Tsjoklat said | 07:30 |
| vortex25 | I don't know if it is faster, but it isn't slow, or noticeably slower for that matter | 07:30 |
| Tsjoklat | I had Sarge for two hours... | 07:31 |
| Tsjoklat | five times | 07:31 |
| vortex25 | it is cool 'cause it installs the default programs you'd want w/o a ton more | 07:31 |
| Tsjoklat | it is either Sid or nothing | 07:31 |
| Tsjoklat | if you want Debian | 07:31 |

| vortex25 | thanks britt_radiofree | 07:37 |
| Tsjoklat | well if you want information about sarge you should talk to Treenaks | 07:37 |

| Treenaks | Mestapheles: not much speed difference probably | 07:38 |

| calc | Tsjoklat: i am talking about kde's | 07:42 |
| jdub | calc: it doesn't. | 07:42 |
| Tsjoklat | gifgroen means poisonious green | 07:42 |
| Mestapheles | yes I have a lime green imac | 07:42 |
| calc | jdub: isn't that a violation of policy for debian's anyway | 07:42 |
| Mestapheles | one of the fruity ones | 07:42 |

| Tsjoklat | fruity sounds better then toilet seat :) | 07:42 |
| Mestapheles | lol | 07:42 |
| calc | jdub: agreed | 07:42 |
| Tsjoklat | I emailed debian to ask about that their response was: we locked it so that ppl cant mess it up anymore.. we got tired of those | 07:43 |
| Tsjoklat | charming | 07:43 |
| Tsjoklat | but to be expected | 07:43 |

| Treenaks | Mestapheles: I'm running on a 600MHz (i386) laptop. | 07:43 |

| jdub | calc: yeah | 07:44 |
| Treenaks | Tsjoklat: Uh, he moaned some more, said 'bbl' and hasn't come back since | 07:44 |
| Tsjoklat | lol | 07:44 |

| redhead381 | about linux | 07:46 |
| redhead381 | ? | 07:46 |

| erek | ryan: ubuntu doesn't have xorg working yet? | 07:46 |
| Tsjoklat | tis the place to be redhead | 07:46 |
| vortex25 | that would seem likely | 07:46 |
| calc | jdub: eh? | 07:46 |
| ryan | erek: naw, i can live without that | 07:46 |
| Treenaks | erek: people are working on it | 07:46 |
| ryan | but its still only got gaim 1.0.0 | 07:46 |
| ryan | and dosbox 0.61 | 07:46 |
| calc | menu-xdg does the best that can be to support debian's horrid menu | 07:46 |
| calc | i'm open to any suggestions for improvement of course ;) | 07:47 |
| ryan | dosbox 0.62 has been out since sept 29th :/ | 07:47 |
| Tsjoklat | hoary looks great so far.. only the trash applet has issues | 07:47 |
| Tsjoklat | it keeps crashing on mine | 07:47 |
| erek | ryan: what's holding it back from xorg? | 07:47 |
| redhead381 | ok, here's the deal: i don't know anything, but my friend was trying to install ubuntu onto my computer (which has windows) off of a CD. so he put the CD into the drive, then rebooted the computer, and the ubuntu thing came up. when he presses enter to load it, the computer turns itself off then back on and starts the process all over again. what's wrong? | 07:47 |
| vortex25 | does hoary have the bootsplash in yet? I am picky about looks to some extent and love the looks fedora core 2 had for its bootsplash | 07:47 |
| Tsjoklat | calc: if I needed someone telling me what I can have or not in my menu I might aswell stick to Bill | 07:47 |
| calc | Tsjoklat: perhaps you don't get the point, jdub understood what i was talking about ;) | 07:48 |
| nevyn | redhead381: bad media? | 07:48 |
| Tsjoklat | I do get the point | 07:48 |
| Tsjoklat | but I am traumatized | 07:48 |
| calc | Tsjoklat: everyone that supports menu spec will have a conflicting menu file | 07:48 |
| redhead381 | what's that mean? | 07:48 |
| Tsjoklat | and still suffering from post traumatic stress | 07:48 |
| redhead381 | is it something that he can fix relatively easily? | 07:48 |
| ryan | can one just change /etc/apt/sources.list to hoary | 07:48 |
| Tsjoklat | so I tend to start to ramble | 07:48 |
| ryan | to get newer packages | 07:48 |
| redhead381 | my rommates computer does the same exact thing | 07:48 |
| calc | so either menu spec needs to be modified and having lots of different menus is fine, or a standard one should be defined | 07:48 |
| britt_radiofree | ryan, yes | 07:48 |
| jdub | calc: given the haphazard nature of the menu structure already, adding menu-xdg items to the gnome/kde structure is going to be seriously scary. (not menu-xdg's fault, it's the items themselves.) | 07:48 |
| Tsjoklat | and not locked | 07:48 |
| calc | having a unified one that is the same across WMs would be nice | 07:49 |
| Treenaks | redhead381: is the CD burned correctly? | 07:49 |
| redhead381 | yea | 07:49 |
| redhead381 | he even burned a new copy to check that | 07:49 |
| redhead381 | and it did the same thing | 07:49 |
| Tsjoklat | besides the trash applet crashing I haven't noticed anything horribly wrong in hoary yet | 07:49 |
| Treenaks | redhead381: on a lower speed? | 07:49 |
| vortex25 | sounds like it doesn't like some specific piece of hardware | 07:49 |
| calc | jdub: wrt menu-xdg all of them are shoved off into a debian submenu like gnome was | 07:49 |
| redhead381 | idk about that | 07:49 |
| ryan | britt_radiofree: do you know if it has gaim 1.0.2 and dosbox 0.62 yet? ;) | 07:49 |
| jdub | calc: so i don't think we'll be shipping menu-xdg (unless we patch all the menu items). ;-) | 07:49 |
| vortex25 | is there a command line on the install cd to disable apic, that might help | 07:49 |
| jdub | calc: oh right. | 07:49 |
| redhead381 | does that affect it? | 07:49 |
| Treenaks | redhead381: try burning at a alower speed, that might help | 07:49 |
| redhead381 | disable apic? | 07:49 |
| calc | jdub: it builds out a debian menu that looks the same as any other wm that just uses the debian default layout | 07:49 |
| britt_radiofree | ryan, yes on gaim | 07:49 |
| hypa7ia | noapic noacpi redhead381 :-) | 07:49 |

| === ryan upgrades | ||
| vortex25 | yeah what hypa7ia said | 07:50 |
| Tsjoklat | I asked in here the second day this channel was up if ubu was going to lock the menu.. they said no and that's why I am on ubu now | 07:50 |
| britt_radiofree | ryan, dosbox: .61-4 | 07:50 |
| calc | i don't like debian's layout enough to try to convert kde over to using it exclusively (gag) | 07:50 |
| redhead381 | ok, i know nothing about any of this, but i'll copy and paste it to him, he can fix it. thanks so much ;) | 07:50 |

| aran | does anybody know where I should look for help getting a usb memory key to work? the official HOWTO wasn't much help... | 08:01 |
| vortex25 | aran: did you plug it in? | 08:02 |
| GotD0t | haha | 08:02 |
| hypa7ia | aran: it should automount, i got mine working yesterday | 08:02 |
| vortex25 | mine just showed up | 08:02 |
| GotD0t | is there a way to kill a zombie? | 08:02 |
| hypa7ia | aran: are you in gnome? | 08:02 |
| aran | yeah | 08:02 |
| GotD0t | how | 08:02 |
| vortex25 | if I plug it in after gnome has loaded | 08:02 |
| mercurus | aran mine worked out of the box ... | 08:03 |
| aran | default ubuntu install, and it just worked? | 08:03 |
| mercurus | aye | 08:03 |
| aran | is your usb key ext* formatted or vfat? | 08:03 |
| mercurus | vfat | 08:03 |
| vortex25 | if I had it plugged in when I started up it was a no go | 08:03 |
| vortex25 | but all I had to do was unplug and replug it back in | 08:03 |
| aran | interesting. | 08:03 |
| aran | I'm definitely unlucky then | 08:03 |
| hypa7ia | mine was vfat too | 08:04 |
| aran | last time I got frustrated and just unplugged it, the computer crashed | 08:04 |
| hypa7ia | eek! | 08:04 |
| mercurus | aran: does it appear as /dev/sda1 ? | 08:04 |
| hypa7ia | that means it's seeing it... | 08:04 |
| aran | nope | 08:04 |
| hypa7ia | weird | 08:04 |
| aran | agreed | 08:04 |
| mercurus | what does dmesg show when the key is inserte d? | 08:04 |
| aran | i was hoping someone would be like "I had the same trouble, all you had to do was *!" | 08:04 |
| vortex25 | I guess you could manually mount it with something like mount /dev/sdb (or whatever the device is) | 08:05 |
| vortex25 | hmmm | 08:05 |
| vortex25 | after you plug it in type dmesg | 08:05 |
| vortex25 | I had the problem in a different distro, mine wouldn't automount, but my roommate's would | 08:05 |
| vortex25 | I just had to manually mount | 08:05 |
| aran | yeah, I'm going through the dmesg log now... | 08:05 |
| vortex25 | i.e. make a folder in /mnt, example, /mnt/key | 08:05 |
| vortex25 | then mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/key | 08:05 |
| Treenaks | Tsjoklat: uh, what works like a charm now? :) | 08:05 |
| vortex25 | seemed to work | 08:05 |
| hypa7ia | do you have a different thing to try and hotplug? a usb mass storage camera, flash adapter, etc? | 08:05 |
| Tsjoklat | the UTF thingy | 08:06 |
| Treenaks | Tsjoklat: ah ok :) cool | 08:06 |
| aran | I've tried the manual mounting... interesting, dmesg is showing SCSI errors and buffer I/O errors | 08:06 |
| vortex25 | well night all | 08:06 |
| vortex25 | yuck | 08:06 |

| aran | event viewer... | 08:09 |
| aran | dmesg has a ton of these Buffer I/O errors combined with SCSI errors | 08:10 |

| aran | oh, in XP | 08:10 |
| aran | unfortunately I don't have easy XP access right now, the files were loaded on a computer at someone else's house | 08:11 |
| holycow | aran maybe xp just wasn't logging the errors? | 08:11 |
| nevyn | holycow: how do you know if he didn't look at it? :) | 08:11 |
| aran | I have no idea... I think this guy is just begging to be formatted | 08:12 |

| aran | GotD0t: what's wrong with your floppy? I'm sorry I'm distracting all the attention | 08:12 |
| mercurus | aran: google for the error messages, and see if a solution has been proposed ? | 08:12 |
| aran | not a bad idea | 08:12 |
| mercurus | also, try a rear USB port, and the second of two (if there are multiples) | 08:14 |
| mercurus | IO error could be a dodgy connection from one of the pins | 08:14 |

| mercurus | ep0in ... which device is that ? never heard of it | 08:16 |
| mercurus | have you used this usb drive in another UNIX machine ? | 08:16 |
| aran | never, only Windows...I think the partition table is broken, this is causing random misc errors, and multiple errors because Linux keeps on retrying to mount it | 08:16 |
| Treenaks | sounds like an IRQ problem or something | 08:17 |
| mercurus | aran: hmm ... you'd still expect a device node to show up if the partition table was broken ... | 08:17 |

| |trey| | nevyn, you seem to be quite familier with it... for obvious reasons? | 09:01 |
| cenerentola_ | whoaaam the shell windows appeared and it started to print error messages with dpkg... | 09:02 |
| cenerentola_ | then gnome crashed... | 09:02 |
| cenerentola_ | there where no entry in the menus of the top bar... | 09:02 |
| thoreauputic | Tsjoklat: no, my parents were/are Australian | 09:02 |
| |trey| | cenerentola_, do you happen to remember what the error says? does it mention apt-get -f install when you run apt? | 09:02 |
| cenerentola_ | i rebooted after logging in it gave me some probs with the gconf and then re-crashed | 09:02 |
| |trey| | cenerentola_, ahh, that just sounds bad... | 09:03 |
| Tsjoklat | ah just amazing that you would know the Dutch colour | 09:03 |
| |trey| | cenerentola_, you remember any error's? | 09:03 |
| cenerentola_ | i cant run aptget anymore cause it says /sbin/getty not found, or sth like it, and id5 too many respawning or sth like that | 09:03 |
| |trey| | Tsjoklat, orange, its on their shirts :) | 09:03 |
| thoreauputic | Tsjoklat: why? Are OZ people supposed to be ignorant of history? :-) | 09:04 |
| Tsjoklat | oh football fan | 09:04 |
| Tsjoklat | lol nooooo | 09:04 |
| |trey| | cenerentola_, does it say for only terminal 2? | 09:04 |
| |trey| | cenerentola_, I've seen that before... | 09:04 |
| thoreauputic | The House of Orange etc.... | 09:04 |
| Tsjoklat | well at least you are not telling me that Holland is the capital of Denmark | 09:04 |
| |trey| | Tsjoklat, huge football fan... especially of Arsenal... I almost cried when we lost :( | 09:05 |
| ajmitch | Tsjoklat: most people aren't that silly :) | 09:05 |
| cenerentola_ | what ? | 09:05 |
| thoreauputic | Tsjoklat: heheh - no it's the capital of Pr0n, I thought... | 09:05 |
| |trey| | Tsjoklat, Bergkamp 8) | 09:05 |
| Tsjoklat | yup and Gullit | 09:05 |
| cenerentola_ | |trey|: stop talking about craps... and lets face that inter milan is hugely better | 09:06 |
| |trey| | Tsjoklat, Gullit played for Chelsea and coached them and Newcastle... Van Persie is one to watch though :) | 09:06 |
| nevyn | |trey|: I'd love to do it.. but I've got buckleys of getting in *australian slang for no chance* | 09:06 |
| thoreauputic | !start a football war | 09:06 |
| cenerentola_ | |trey|: what about the terminal 2 thing? | 09:06 |
| |trey| | cenerentola_, they used to be... they spent too much on Ronaldo and have been sorry ever since... | 09:06 |
| |trey| | cenerentola_, sometimes, I see terminal two won't respawn, but others are fine... I was wondering if thats the symtom? | 09:07 |
| cenerentola_ | so... what should i do on terminal 2 | 09:07 |
| |trey| | thoreauputic, I miss dpkg the bot :( | 09:07 |
| |trey| | cenerentola_, nothing, its respawning fine though? | 09:07 |
| |trey| | (ie, its there to type on...) | 09:07 |
| thoreauputic | |trey|: ah yes, a bot would be nice.. | 09:07 |
| cenerentola_ | well ive got to restart and connect to irc from another computer | 09:08 |
| |trey| | thoreauputic, I said that... dpkg's database is public too... would be nice to customize one, maybe have it sync with the wiki or something :) | 09:08 |
| |trey| | thoreauputic, plus some fun stuff of course :) | 09:08 |
| cenerentola_ | btw, when i booted on this partition it gave sth like 3,1% non-contiguous how can i fix it | 09:08 |

| cenerentola | Id 3 respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes | 09:14 |
| ajmitch | thoreauputic: yeah, well union is the only one worth playing, right? :) | 09:14 |
| cenerentola | ... the same thing for id 5 and 6... | 09:14 |
| |trey| | cenerentola, dpkg-reconfigure getty... see if that helps at all | 09:14 |
| thoreauputic | |trey|: they play on cricket ovals, mostly | 09:14 |
| cenerentola | yep but i cant get in a shell | 09:14 |
| thoreauputic | |trey|: that's the reason I guess, historically | 09:14 |
| cenerentola | it also says "no more processes left in this runlevel" | 09:14 |

| fabbione | cenerentola: and according to your opinion, why is that my fault? | 09:25 |

| |trey| | cenerentola, I can't think of a way to, no... you could mount other Ubuntu, and copy over the getty .deb, thats all I can think of... | 09:34 |
| cenerentola | so i should replace the getty? | 09:35 |

| fabbione | cenerentola: replacing getty will not help anything | 09:35 |
| cenerentola | it cant because there's not shutdown or why then? | 09:35 |

| cenerentola | |trey| what therminal? | 09:36 |
| fabbione | lonetree: hold on a sec... | 09:36 |

| fabbione | |trey|: no it's a race condition in the kernel :((((( | 09:39 |
| fabbione | we have spend 2 days trying to debugging and isolating it | 09:40 |
| |trey| | fabbione, ahh... didn't know that :( | 09:40 |
| cenerentola | so i wont be able to boot it again? | 09:40 |
| fabbione | |trey|: it gave mdz, lamont and me quite a huge headacke :-) | 09:41 |
| |trey| | fabbione, reproduce: log into and out of terminal 2 like 20 times in a row, its always slow, then eventually one fails :) | 09:41 |
| fabbione | |trey|: yes.. reset is a possibility to get it fixed breaking the loop | 09:41 |
| fabbione | |trey|: correct | 09:41 |
| fabbione | that happens on all terminal other than console 0 | 09:41 |
| |trey| | fabbione, I've generally been able to work on the others, just not alt+2 | 09:42 |
| fabbione | |trey|: it depends.. to me it happens sometimes on 3 and 4 | 09:42 |
| |trey| | 2 is the most reproducable, definatly... would be nice to see it fixed finally :) | 09:42 |
| fabbione | but it will never happen on console 0 ;) | 09:43 |
| fabbione | (or alt+f1) | 09:43 |
| |trey| | fabbione, I was just about to ask if you meant alt+f1 :) | 09:43 |
| |trey| | yes, true, doesn't make much sense :( | 09:43 |
| fabbione | |trey|: ;) | 09:44 |
| |trey| | fabbione, if I had #debian logs, I could see when that was... I brought it up there... bob2 told me to file it in the BTS 8) | 09:45 |

| |trey| | lonetree, I told you more then an hour ago "apt-cache search touchpad"... you would have seen tpconfig... touchpad config... try it... | 10:27 |
| |trey| | http://compass.com/synaptics/ | 10:27 |
| lonetree | sorry i lost that.. | 10:28 |
| |trey| | This page contains the Linux driver (tpconfig) for the Synaptics Touchpad and ALPS Glidepad/Stickpointer. | 10:28 |
| lonetree | someone provided a link and i was checking it out | 10:28 |
| lonetree | but its covers external wacom tablets... | 10:28 |
| vinic | has anyone installed ubuntu on a DELL laptop? | 10:29 |
| |trey| | ok... you probably need xfree-drivers-synaptics and tpconfig... both from apt-cache search touchpad... | 10:29 |
| bob2 | vinic: lots of people | 10:30 |
| |trey| | vinic, such questions aren't useful... tell us your problem, and we will try to help fix it :) | 10:31 |
| lonetree | running apt-cache shows xfree86-driver-synaptics | 10:31 |
| lonetree | what files should i get does warthog support rpms? | 10:31 |
| |trey| | bob2, tpconfig not in warty, you know? | 10:31 |
| |trey| | lonetree, yes, use alien though to create .deb's from the .rpm | 10:32 |
| lonetree | where do i get that? | 10:32 |
| |trey| | lonetree, installed by default ;) | 10:32 |
| mb4guns | installer hangs on i386, 166Mhz mmx, 96mb ram | 10:32 |
| |trey| | lonetree, to comply with lsb :) | 10:32 |
| lonetree | lsb? | 10:33 |
| vinic | ok dudes | 10:33 |
| |trey| | mb4guns, where does it hang? | 10:33 |
| vinic | sorry to bother you | 10:33 |
| |trey| | lonetree, Linus Standards Base | 10:33 |
| |trey| | Linux | 10:33 |
| vinic | I havent any problems yet | 10:33 |
| Matt| | vinic it's ok | 10:33 |
| Matt| | vinic, don't get scared off! | 10:33 |
| vinic | :) | 10:33 |
| vinic | no problem | 10:33 |
| mb4guns | gimme a sec | 10:33 |
| lonetree | so i got tpconfig do i need synaptics as well? | 10:33 |
| vinic | just dowloading ubuntu and wanted to be sure there's no HORIBBLE things with those laptops | 10:34 |
| |trey| | lonetree, probably, I'd install it anyways, won't do you any harm... | 10:34 |

| |trey| | sudo dpkg -i *.deb from /where/you/put/them | 10:36 |
| Matt| | vinic, there are a few dells on there | 10:36 |
| lonetree | ok but the site says i can't do it with X so how do i stop X? | 10:36 |
| mb4guns | |trey|, it hangs after scanning the cdrom | 10:36 |
| bob2 | vinic: there are some known issues on dell laptpos | 10:36 |
| |trey| | lonetree, /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 10:37 |
| lonetree | is that a command? | 10:37 |
| Pizbit | |trey|: I can't remember if that stops X or not? | 10:37 |
| |trey| | lonetree, yup | 10:37 |
| Pizbit | lonetree: yes | 10:37 |
| |trey| | Pizbit, it does, try it... then start to start it :) | 10:37 |
| Pizbit | |trey|: But my gnome-terminal will have gone@!?! *grin* | 10:37 |

| vinic | bye | 10:39 |
| Pizbit | |trey|: Easier to run gdmflexiserver | 10:39 |
| Pizbit | Or click through the applications menu :) | 10:39 |
| lonetree | well i got no mouse... | 10:40 |
| |trey| | Pizbit, not sure what that is... what I said is universal though, doesn't matter what you are using so long as it uses X... | 10:40 |
| lonetree | thanks folks i'll keep on trying... c ya! | 10:40 |
| |trey| | lonetree, I hate when that happens :( | 10:40 |
| Pizbit | |trey|: Just another gdm login screen | 10:40 |
| mb4guns | actually after it scanned the cdrom the hdd goes trrrrrr for a while then Klik stops, nothing happends | 10:41 |

| lonetree | ain't that default? | 11:00 |
| daniels | |trey|: installed per default | 11:00 |

| lonetree | i never said i did. it says its alps not synaptics... | 11:01 |
| |trey| | daniels, http://compass.com/synaptics/ states "This page contains the Linux driver (tpconfig) for the Synaptics Touchpad and ALPS Glidepad/Stickpointer."... he said he had am ALPS touchpad... | 11:02 |

| Matt| | lonetree, it is the next version of ubuntu | 11:04 |

| lonetree | what do you mean if i can't follw compass.com/synaptics | 11:05 |
| |trey| | lonetree, if it seems too complicated etc... | 11:05 |
| |trey| | lonetree, recompiling a kernel isn't really easy enless you know your hardware... but its the only way to get your touchpad working currently... its up to you :( | 11:06 |
| lonetree | there's pretty much nothing but the dls on there. | 11:06 |
| lonetree | well prob is i don't know the hardware exactly. | 11:06 |
| Matt| | we should lodge a bug if the touchpad isn't supported on ubuntu | 11:06 |
| lonetree | ain't there a way to add a module/patch for that and leave everything else untouched | 11:07 |
| |trey| | daniels, ahh, I'm high.. thats 2.2.x... seems like it should have gotten in by now? :o | 11:07 |
| lonetree | ? | 11:07 |

| |trey| | daniels, wow :) see you could be fixing, while people like me look for faults... would make life easier for you if debugging is enlightening :) | 11:11 |
| Matt| | don't get it from another distro tho | 11:11 |

| Cred | Atleast my MS :( Intellimouse works fine (it's USB) | 11:13 |
| |trey| | Matt|, daniels = Daniel Stone of Freedesktop.org... I'd say he's a pretty good candidate for packaging X for Ubuntu :) | 11:13 |

| Matt| | lonetree, there is a brief indication of what you need to install in order to compile a kernel module here: https://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/compile-kernel-module | 11:15 |
| |trey| | Matt|, if you think its too brief, add more ;) | 11:15 |
| Matt| | |trey|, erm | 11:16 |
| Matt| | |trey|, i don't regard myself as competent | 11:16 |
| Matt| | it depends on the module anyway i guess | 11:16 |

| Matt| | |trey|, i agree, but perhaps in this case it is not appropriate | 11:16 |
| Matt| | lonetree, basically what you do is, install those packages mentioned on that site, download the kernel driver, and compile it according to instructions | 11:17 |
| lonetree | well the mouse kinda works... | 11:17 |
| eim | Where can I find an online tool/website for seeing all available Ubuntu packages and versions, like the Debian.org packages interface (http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages)? Thanks. | 11:17 |
| |trey| | Matt|, if you think it needs more info, its appropriate, it needs to be entirely clear to everyone to be useful... | 11:17 |
| Matt| | |trey|, what do you think about that page? i'm not sure | 11:17 |
| bob2 | eim: all 2000? | 11:18 |
| Matt| | eim, i'm not sure, good question | 11:18 |
| eim | bob2: Well, not all but at least the one I'm looking for. | 11:18 |
| |trey| | Matt|, "brief indication of what you need" leads me to believe you think it could be clearer? | 11:18 |
| Matt| | bob2, he is right there should be one | 11:18 |
| eim | Matt|: Could be an usefull online tool. | 11:18 |
| bob2 | there is one | 11:18 |

| bob2 | |trey|: that's what aptitude -> new packages is for | 11:20 |
| phill | Hi, How can I 'mount' a cue/bin image file? | 11:21 |
| bob2 | you can't | 11:21 |
| bob2 | you can convert it to a useful format with bchunk, tho | 11:21 |
| phill | bchunk? | 11:21 |
| |trey| | bob2, eh, you always tried to push aptitude, I never liked it though... I did try to use it... synaptics is much better if I am not using apt... | 11:21 |
| Matt| | bob2, i think it would be a good resource for people investigating ubuntu to have a list of packages. I take your point tho | 11:21 |

| diavolo | easytag shouldnt be called that | 11:51 |
| diavolo | "hardtag" or "painful-tag-editor" fits better ~~ | 11:52 |

| diavolo | its really good | 11:53 |

| |trey| | bob2, I like to know what song I am listening to in streams, yes.... | 11:54 |
| Matt| | i use grip: it tags em fine | 11:54 |
| Matt| | but sometimes you have to retag things | 11:54 |
| Matt| | or tag things you haven't ripped | 11:54 |
| Matt| | so amarok is a player too? | 11:55 |
| |trey| | I don't have many songs on this machine, I reinstall too much usually to get a decent collection, so I just don't... | 11:55 |

| the_one | what do you recommend, changing to hoary on my ubuntu's repositories, or doing it manually with the downloaded .deb? | 01:22 |
| rapha | WHEEEEW! I got DSL! | 01:23 |
| rapha | And if anybody should ever ask again how to configure it under Ubuntu, the command is "pppoeconf". | 01:23 |
| chibifs | Well, the hoary compile depends on some hoary libs | 01:23 |
| the_one | I got dependency problems when trying to install the last vesrion of gaim | 01:24 |
| the_one | ...back to the old version | 01:24 |

| the_one | yeah | 01:24 |

| chibifs | Everything is in the apt. | 01:27 |
| the_one | with synaptic...right? | 01:27 |
| chibifs | Yep. | 01:27 |

| bob2 | boot order of what? | 01:29 |

| Pizbit | Matt|: Click on it:P | 02:08 |

| jdub | instead of having to make users think about "hiding windows from the list of windows", which is an implementation detail | 02:08 |
| Matt| | Pizbit, clicking on it does not hide it from the window list | 02:08 |

| mina_linux_Tux | does ubunto has support to different Modem and PCMCIA WIRELESS Network Adapter called SMC ? | 02:29 |
| Treenaks | mina_linux_Tux: uh.. what kind of SMC? | 02:30 |
| bob2 | you'd need to find out what chipset it has | 02:30 |
| Treenaks | mina_linux_Tux: I have 2 supported wireless cards from SMC that work | 02:30 |

| Treenaks | mina_linux_Tux: is it 2635W, 2635W-V2 or SMC2635W-V3 ? | 02:36 |

| === superted [~superted@213.167.101.222] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| mina_linux_Tux | i think 2635W | 02:37 |
| |trey| | the_one, mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt should do it. | 02:37 |
| the_one | and when I reboot will it still be mounted? | 02:37 |
| FluFlo | mina_linux_Tux, i think so. However the module is not included on the default kernel and you should compile the module yourself | 02:38 |
| bob2 | the_one: nope | 02:38 |
| bob2 | the_one: if you want that, edit /etc/fstab | 02:38 |
| === lupus_ [~lupus@kn-ivl-2.kuleuven.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| FluFlo | mina_linux_Tux, here is the driver http://aluminum.sourmilk.net/adm8211/ | 02:38 |
| the_one | is it "easy" to edit fstab? | 02:38 |
| FluFlo | it's GPL | 02:39 |
| |trey| | the_one, no... you would need to add '/dev/hda1 /mnt auto user,auto 0 0' to /etc/fstab to do that | 02:39 |
| jordi | FluFlo: fstab is gpl? :) | 02:39 |
| |trey| | jordi, I think he means the driver ;) | 02:39 |
| FluFlo | the driver. i mean | 02:39 |
| jordi | I was kidding, sorry ;) | 02:39 |
| mina_linux_Tux | FluFlo: where or how to compile this module , i already searched for the admtek8211 for linux not found | 02:39 |
| |trey| | jordi, way too early here to kid ;) | 02:39 |
| FluFlo | mina_linux_Tux, did you tryed the link? | 02:40 |
| bob2 | the_one: /dev/whatever /mnt/wherever ntfs ro,umask=022 0 0 | 02:40 |
| |trey| | bob2, you really like that umask option ;) why no auto though? | 02:40 |
| bob2 | |trey|: auto is implied | 02:41 |
| the_one | now I'm confused. | 02:41 |
| mina_linux_Tux | FLuFlo: i'll try it now | 02:41 |
| |trey| | the_one, do what bob2 told you | 02:41 |
| hbbs | i would like some icons on nautilus (change to the .. directory, delete and so on) | 02:41 |
| bob2 | the_one: add that line to end of /etc/fstab | 02:41 |
| mina_linux_Tux | FluFlo: install the last release ? | 02:42 |
| FluFlo | yep | 02:42 |
| FluFlo | the latest | 02:42 |
| === Pizbit [~Pizbit@203-79-124-44.adsl.paradise.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| the_one | please have patience with me...I am editing fstab, at file system I added /dev/hda1, what do I put at mount point, type, option, dump, pass? | 02:42 |
| |trey| | FluFlo, latest release* not latest software for instance... | 02:42 |
| mina_linux_Tux | FluFlo: then untar it and compile ? | 02:42 |
| bob2 | the_one: read what I wrote | 02:43 |
| the_one | I read it | 02:43 |
| bob2 | the_one: change the first two entries, copy the rest of what I wrote | 02:43 |
| the_one | so I just do copy/paste with what you wrote? | 02:43 |
| |trey| | the_one, bob2's order is correct... if it makes you happy, you can change spacing in the file... | 02:43 |
| |trey| | the_one, that would work yes | 02:44 |
| |trey| | the_one, (copy/paste would) | 02:44 |
| FluFlo | mina_linux_Tux, yes, seems that a "make" and "make install" as root will do the trick | 02:44 |
| === opi [~emil@195.69.82.35] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| bob2 | the_one: yes, change /mnt/whatever and /dev/whatever | 02:44 |
| |trey| | the_one, /dev/whatever will likely be /dev/hda1 (if you installed windows first, it is), /mnt/whatever doesn't really matter though as long as its empty and exists... | 02:45 |
| the_one | but there are like "columns" in my fstab for file system, mount point, bla bla, what you wrote doesn't fit | 02:45 |
| bob2 | the_one: yes it does | 02:45 |
| bob2 | the_one: it doesn't matter if there's one space between them or 20 000 | 02:46 |
| thoreauputic | the_one: the spacing doesn't have to be identical | 02:46 |
| the_one | ok | 02:46 |
| the_one | I put /dev/C | 02:46 |
| the_one | ? | 02:46 |
| |trey| | the_one, no... /dev/hda1 | 02:46 |

| the_one | yeah...my brain in formated in FAT | 02:47 |
| the_one | sorry | 02:47 |
| |trey| | the_one, hd = harddrive... a referes to first disk, 1 referes to first partition | 02:47 |
| === jacob [~jacob@h146n1fls23o1061.bredband.comhem.se] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| the_one | this is the line, what do I have to change still? /dev/hda1/mnt/wherever ntfs ro,umask=022 0 0 | 02:48 |
| |trey| | the_one, so /dev/hdd5 would be 5th partition of fourth drive for instance | 02:48 |
| the_one | mnt/what? | 02:48 |
| the_one | C? | 02:48 |
| === mameluke [~bo@84-72-10-155.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| |trey| | the_one, no... that part doesn't really matter... | 02:49 |
| bob2 | the_one: you can call it whatever you like | 02:49 |
| FluFlo | mina_linux_Tux, try "modprobe adm8211" | 02:49 |
| bob2 | the_one: just make sure the directory exists | 02:49 |
| |trey| | the_one, anywhere really, so long as its empty and exists... | 02:49 |
| Matt| | Pizbit, what skin are you using on xmms? | 02:49 |
| bob2 | the_one: for simplcity, you can make it just /mnt | 02:49 |
| the_one | aha | 02:49 |
| the_one | ok | 02:49 |
| Pizbit | Matt|: Default | 02:49 |
| mina_linux_Tux | FluFlo: what does modprobe do (checks for problems ) | 02:49 |
| the_one | do I have to reboot to test? | 02:49 |
| Matt| | Pizbit, none? | 02:50 |
| Pizbit | Matt|: The xchat-systray seems to respond well to right clicks but horrid to left clicks. | 02:50 |
| Pizbit | yeah, none | 02:50 |
| FluFlo | mina_linux_Tux, loads the module on memory | 02:50 |
| bob2 | the_one: when you "mount" a filesystem in unix, you make the contents of that disk/partition appear in an existing directory | 02:50 |
| Matt| | Pizbit, double left click | 02:50 |
| |trey| | the_one, yes... although you can trust and just mount now :) | 02:50 |
| bob2 | the_one: no, "sudo mount /mnt" | 02:50 |
| bob2 | |trey|: no you don't | 02:50 |
| Pizbit | Matt|: Gah, evil:) | 02:50 |
| Matt| | Pizbit, with no skin on xmms, the xmms plugin doesn't even load | 02:50 |
| Matt| | interesting.. | 02:50 |
| FluFlo | mina_linux_Tux, afther that, check output of "dmesg" (the last lines) | 02:50 |
| Pizbit | *chuckles* | 02:50 |
| === Matt| reinstalls plugin | ||
| |trey| | bob2, to test whether it loads @ boot, he would indeed need to reboot ;) | 02:50 |
| Pizbit | Maybe ~/.xmms is fried | 02:50 |
| Matt| | yeah mebbe | 02:50 |
| bob2 | |trey|: vim /etc/init.d/mountall.sh | 02:50 |
| |trey| | bob2, ahh :o | 02:51 |
| |trey| | I learned something though, thats cool :) | 02:51 |
| the_one | bob2: I tried sudo mount /mnt I get mount: can't find /mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 02:53 |
| bob2 | the_one: what did you replace "/mnt/whatever" in my example with? | 02:53 |
| the_one | C:SYSTEM | 02:53 |
| bob2 | the_one: erm | 02:53 |
| the_one | ok | 02:54 |
| thoreauputic | oh dear | 02:54 |
| |trey| | the_one, this is unix... "C" is just not right... | 02:54 |
| bob2 | the_one: "sudo mkdir /mnt/C:SYSTEM" | 02:54 |
| Matt| | Pizbit, have you got xmms-themes installed at all? | 02:54 |
| Pizbit | Matt|: Nope | 02:54 |
| Matt| | hmm | 02:54 |
| bob2 | the_one: you can call it that if you like, it's just a bit un-unixy | 02:54 |

| === Pizbit thinks his analogy may bew fatally flawed. | ||
| |trey| | the_one, its really not that hard to understand... everything is just moved up, so you don't need to specify drive... cdrom etc are just mounted to the filesystem where ever you want them... | 02:56 |
| the_one | I just hate when people don't take time to learn and want to do everything in one move, then they say that linux is hard and it sucks, I hate that | 02:56 |

| Encrypted_ | the_one.. if u type "mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hda2 /mnt/D:STORAGE" does it work ? | 03:13 |
| thoreauputic | bob2: apparently her ISP is not using pap or chap | 03:13 |

| bob2 | Encrypted_: I'm pretty sure udev doesn't have that issue | 03:20 |
| britt_ | I have a laptop with the mew Ubuntu | 03:20 |
| Encrypted_ | udev sorts that out yes | 03:20 |
| bob2 | thoreauputic: does chat auth work? | 03:20 |
| britt_ | I was wondering if there was a way to Force 10BaseT through a console command | 03:21 |
| britt_ | after boot | 03:21 |
| britt_ | and just temporary | 03:21 |
| thoreauputic | bob2: unfortunately I don't know how to walk her through that as I've not used it | 03:21 |
| bob2 | britt_: mii-tool, if your card supports it | 03:21 |
| nefertati | sometimes it works it dials but then it stops. chat auth askes me to write a login promt | 03:22 |
| bob2 | does pppoeconf give you a "chat" auth option? | 03:22 |
| bob2 | pppconfig does | 03:22 |
| britt_ | operation not supported | 03:22 |
| britt_ | so i'm screwed? | 03:22 |
| bob2 | are you? | 03:23 |
| bob2 | it just means you can't force it | 03:23 |
| bob2 | it shouldn't ever matter unless you have broken hardware on the other end | 03:23 |
| britt_ | well its unusabel right now | 03:23 |
| nefertati | i types pppconfig bob2 | 03:23 |
| britt_ | my ethernet card doesnt like the switches her | 03:23 |
| britt_ | here* | 03:23 |
| thoreauputic | bob2: yes she tried all the options and chat is the only one that appears to work at all | 03:23 |
| the_one | encrypted, when mounting I get: mount: special device /dev/scsi/host4/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 does not exist | 03:24 |
| britt_ | well i think it worked | 03:24 |
| bob2 | the_one: mount -t ntfs -o umask=002 /dev/sda1 /mnt/D:WHATEVER | 03:24 |
| nefertati | and not always | 03:24 |
| Encrypted_ | the_one: ls /dev/scsi/host4/bus0/target0/lun0/ | 03:24 |
| bob2 | nefertati: it does sometimes work? | 03:24 |

| bob2 | Encrypted_: you know ubuntu doesn't use devfs, right? | 03:25 |
| nefertati | yes bob 2 sometimes. other times i hear the tone and then stops | 03:25 |
| thoreauputic | bob2: she gets dial tone, dial, but can't log on apparently | 03:25 |
| the_one | bob2: it worked | 03:26 |
| Encrypted_ | well.. im gathering he got the path from dmesg, or his syslog, so what the kernel says goes | 03:26 |
| bob2 | no | 03:26 |
| the_one | how can I make it mount back at boot time? | 03:26 |

| the_one | so I add dev/sda | 03:28 |

| the_one | where do I put noauto? | 03:28 |
| Encrypted_ | never seen fisher stevens and never touched a skateboard | 03:29 |
| bob2 | thoreauputic: nefertati I don't have any ideas at the moment, sorry | 03:29 |

| Encrypted_ | 4th field in fstab | 03:29 |
| britt_ | so guys is this the only way to force speeds | 03:29 |
| bob2 | britt_: aside from fixing your hardware | 03:30 |
| Encrypted_ | lol, nm key, i get it now | 03:30 |

| britt_ | how hard is it to configure a USB ethernet card | 03:31 |
| the_one | one more question, I promise | 03:31 |
| bob2 | britt_: it should Just Work when you plug it in | 03:31 |
| Encrypted_ | and ive still seen that movie about 20 times for some strange reason | 03:31 |

| jamaas | Hi all, I'm trying to get a linmodem working, am looking at dmesg, can more than one device have the same irq? Both my modem and my wireless card seem to be set at irq 10 ? | 03:36 |
| lupus_ | or write a little guide how you can create sutch a package :) | 03:36 |
| Treenaks | bob2: so basically, it's best to convince the l33t k1dd13s to release stuff in theora/vorbis? | 03:36 |
| bob2 | well | 03:37 |
| bob2 | if you're not worried about copyright infringement charges for getting said warez, why would you worry about using an infringing codec? | 03:38 |
| haggai | jamaas: that's fine for eg PCI | 03:38 |
| Treenaks | bob2: well, because it falls under "home copying" for me (.nl), so if I only download it and don't share it afterwards, it's legal | 03:39 |
| bob2 | your country may or may not recognise the patents then | 03:40 |
| jamaas | haggai: thanks for that, going back to the dos days, didn't look right! next question is that I seem to have a two sets of conflicting modules loaded, one that begins snd_* and the ones I want to try beginning hsf*, is there a way to do this without destroying everything? Thanks BTW :) | 03:40 |

| Matt| | fissy, yes | 04:25 |

| jbiscont | yann__: try to write sh on the terminal | 04:26 |
| fissy | i'm not overly bothered, i just installed 3.4 because i assumed it would work | 04:26 |
| spiv | fissy: build-essential gives you a handful of dependencies you likely need, such as gcc, make and libc6-dev. | 04:26 |

| yann__ | jbiscont: no error | 04:27 |
| spiv | fissy: There were some C++ ABI changes between 3.3 and 3.4 iirc, so having the system gcc be 3.3 makes sense. | 04:27 |

| jbiscont | yann__: ah, so are you sure you had downloaded the right .bin, I mean did you try to re-download it? | 04:28 |

| spiv | fissy: I asked because it's surprising how many people want to build something that's already in universe, so it's worth checking :) | 04:30 |
| Matt| | jamaas, you do not delete them when you remove them, you just unload them from the kernel | 04:31 |
| fissy | spiv, yeah i had a look first :) | 04:31 |
| jbiscont | yann__: if you want to try with an rpm it's (almost) the same if you want to make java prog | 04:31 |

| kstraka | I'm having some problems installing Apache on Ubuntu, anyone want to help me out? I did an apt-get install apache-common, which appears to have installed a bunch of apache stuff, but I can't find the "apachectl" binary to turn the server on and off, and when I try to run "apache-modconf apache" from the /usr/sbin directory, it tells me "apache appears not to be installed". Any ideas? | 08:07 |
| wims | how do i get gcc? | 08:08 |
| kstraka | Also, does PHP come along with this, and if not can I just apt-get PHP? It says such a package doesn't exist. | 08:08 |

| SuperQ | no | 09:47 |
| SuperQ | hard drive | 09:48 |
| hypa7ia | SuperQ: it's a T20, so prolly 5 yrs? | 09:48 |
| hypa7ia | P3, 700 | 09:48 |
| SuperQ | if live works, but install doesn't.. it's a hard drive problem | 09:48 |
| SuperQ | yea | 09:48 |
| hypa7ia | ahh, an excellent point | 09:48 |
| Striss | have you tried running fdisk and destroying the partitions? | 09:48 |
| SuperQ | I have a T21 | 09:48 |
| hypa7ia | cuz it had mandrake 10 fine, and an install of 10.1 failed... | 09:48 |
| SuperQ | hypa7ia: yea.. if you don't care about the data on it.. try "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda count=1024" | 09:48 |
| SuperQ | hypa7ia: from a knoppix CD | 09:49 |
| hypa7ia | arrighty | 09:49 |
| SuperQ | hypa7ia: that will totaly wipe the boot sector, and partition table | 09:49 |
| hypa7ia | cool | 09:49 |
| SuperQ | should be nice and clean | 09:49 |
| SuperQ | you also may want to run badblocks on it | 09:49 |
| NewComer | can't umount the cd coz device is busy and right clicking on the desktop icon and chosing eject doesn't work either | 09:49 |
| SuperQ | see if it's going bad | 09:49 |
| hypa7ia | cool | 09:49 |
| SuperQ | read the man page for badblocks.. it might give you a clue | 09:50 |
| hypa7ia | yeah, that makes sense, with the previous install working and then MDK 10.1 not working | 09:50 |
| jcole | after alot of agonizing googling i can't figure out how to install the sun java sdk 1.5 deb... anyone know how to this? | 09:50 |

| ficusplanet | CervAnteZ, If I remember correctly there is a safe/recovery mode on the boot menu? Did you try booting into it? If not, try using it and removing udev, I suppose. | 10:28 |

| Matt| | fissy, :( | 10:29 |
| CervAnteZ | ficusplanet, i am talking to you using knoppix, i already purged the udev package, but no success, plus i am unable to reinstall it, since apt-get install wont work without proc | 10:29 |
| ficusplanet | CervAnteZ, I'm not sure how I would proceed then. It seems the easiest route is just a reinstall. Do you have the capability to install without debootstrap? | 10:30 |

| Espectro | apt-rpm compares to apt-get (apt-rpm is the same thing overall) | 11:35 |
| Espectro | the best package manager for me, is portage | 11:35 |
| Espectro | but it isn't a fair comparison either | 11:35 |
| kensai | portage is overral good | 11:35 |
| kensai | but I think synaptic is the best | 11:36 |
| diviy | just comes up with error msg www.??. could not be found looking for some guidance of how to configyre it all | 11:36 |
| Espectro | portage's avantages are mostly due to not being held due to static packages | 11:36 |
| kensai | I mean apt | 11:36 |
| kensai | but yeah portage is very good and with it's frontend porthole it is just like synaptic | 11:37 |
| diviy | i connect throu a cable modem | 11:37 |
| kensai | diviy: that maybe a mudule for your ethernet card is not there | 11:37 |
| Espectro | if gentoo would keep its binary packages updated, i would use it | 11:37 |
| === netmonk [~netmonk@nat-30.c0msys.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Espectro | but using gentoo means to waste space in development libraries not needed when using binaries | 11:38 |
| kensai | diviy: I have the same prob in slackware and gentoo | 11:38 |
| ShadowHawk | Well, I've yet to see dpkg without apt-get, but installing apt-rpm is nothing but headaches. | 11:39 |
| fissy | Espectro, i have a 200GB hard drive.... having even as much as 5GB of development libraries isn't really an issue any more | 11:39 |
| diviy | so any ideas how to get it working i am really a newbie newbie | 11:39 |
| ShadowHawk | Ah, sorry diviy, I faded away there. | 11:39 |
| diviy | np | 11:39 |
| fissy | Espectro, i've had to install a load of development libraies manually today because i need a package not in ubuntu's sources | 11:40 |
| ShadowHawk | Is your ethernet card a PCMCIA card or is it built into the back of the laptop? | 11:40 |
| diviy | built in | 11:40 |
| fissy | anyway, ximian openoffice anyone? | 11:40 |
| ShadowHawk | Have you tried going to Computer->System Configuration->Networking | 11:40 |
| === jdz`_ [~jdz@pool-68-160-157-44.bos.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| epod | fissy, how is that different from normal openoffice? | 11:40 |
| diviy | brb | 11:40 |
| jdz`_ | Hi, what's the Ubuntu equivelent of Debian's base-config called? | 11:40 |
| fissy | epod, looks prettier cause it uses gnome icons and fits in with the gtk theme better, more importantly, newer versions use the new gtk file selector | 11:41 |
| === skar [~skar@61.246.99.98] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| ShadowHawk | diviy: I'm assuming the cable modem works with another computer plugged into it, and the problem is just that Ubuntu isn't accessing, right? | 11:41 |
| Espectro | so right now i am using slack, but not having a good repository of packages just sucks | 11:41 |
| Espectro | so i heard about ubuntu and it has some good features i want | 11:41 |
| Espectro | debian's package repository is indeed the biggest, so no problem there | 11:41 |
| Espectro | debian stable plain just sucks for desktop | 11:41 |
| Espectro | debian sid just updates too much | 11:41 |
| Espectro | so i wanted something with recent packages, updated but stable | 11:41 |
| epod | fissy, hm, is it in synaptic? | 11:41 |
| fissy | epod, no | 11:41 |
| ShadowHawk | Espectro: Welcome to Ubuntu, then :) | 11:41 |
| skar | hi, i've got a 15" monitor, can i set 1024X768 at 85 Hz? | 11:41 |
| epod | fissy, ahh suckage. | 11:41 |
| === eckstejs [~eckstejs@pD95E732C.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Espectro | i will see how ubuntu is going to do updates to stable packages between releases | 11:42 |
| fissy | i don't mind the 12 hour compile *that* much, but i would rather not | 11:42 |
| diviy | im diconnecting the patch lead and pluging straight into my laptop | 11:42 |
| Espectro | like if package x 1.2.2 is installed, and 1.2.3 is released, will ubuntu offer the new version? | 11:42 |
| eckstejs | Hi! Just installed ubuntu. But some questions are remaining. O:) - First of all: How can I use my usb-stick? and How can I use my NTFS-Partitions? O:-)) | 11:43 |
| jdz`_ | What's the Ubuntu equivelent of Debian's base-config called? | 11:43 |
| === skar [~skar@61.246.99.98] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| ShadowHawk | jdz`_: I'm pretty sure it's base-config , but the Ubuntu version is different from the main Debian version | 11:43 |
| === djedje [~djedje@xrousse-6-82-225-61-28.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| fissy | eckstejs: /dev/sda1 /mnt/d2a ntfs user,auto,umask=000,ro 0 0 | 11:43 |
| jdz`_ | ShadowHawk: Thanks for answering. I tried base-config -- and it the same as the Debian one, not the Ubuntu post-install questions | 11:44 |
| fissy | eckstejs, that is a line from my fstab showing how to mount an NTFS partition | 11:44 |
| eckstejs | is there any german channel? :) | 11:44 |
| eckstejs | fissy: thanx, got it | 11:44 |
| ShadowHawk | I really don't know, but I suggest fooling around with apt-cache, heh | 11:44 |
| jdz`_ | ShadowHawk: I aborted Ubuntu's base-config by mistake, and need to get back into it somehow | 11:44 |
| eckstejs | fissy: but will it be shon at Computer/Drives? | 11:44 |
| Espectro | eckstejs, i just insert my usb stick and it works | 11:44 |
| === trickie [~trickie@203-173-44-76.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| ShadowHawk | diviy: The patch lead? Are you using a crossover cable or not? You might have flipped the ethernet wires around if you're doing something unusual with your network setup. Do you have a working computer that you can plug in with you? | 11:45 |
| eckstejs | Espectro: how did it work? dmesg didn't say anything about /dev/sda1 (as I'm used from kernel 2.6.7) | 11:45 |
| diviy | yea have a workomh machine laptop on me lap as we speak | 11:46 |
| Espectro | eckstejs, weird, mine works | 11:46 |
| Espectro | try mounting it | 11:46 |
| ShadowHawk | ok, so it's just a matter of Ubuntu not connecting by the card. Did you try adding it in the Computer->System Configuration->Networking thing yet? | 11:46 |
| Espectro | eckstejs, is hotplug running? | 11:47 |

| fissy | eckstejs, yes it will be shown in computer/drives/on your desktop if you mount it to a folder /mnt/somedrive like i did in mine | 11:47 |
| eckstejs | Espectro: oh, we got a problem. A MicroS*ft-USB-Stick works, but an dnt FUN256 doesn't work - but that thing worked with KNOPPIX 3.6 at the same PC | 11:47 |
| diviy | in network setting i have ethernet lan card in the connection tab | 11:48 |
| Espectro | what do you mean by ms stick? | 11:48 |
| ShadowHawk | Click it and select activate. If that doesn't work, Try removing it then adding it again. | 11:48 |
| Espectro | you mean FAT formatted? | 11:49 |
| ShadowHawk | Espectro: I think it's a MS brand USB stick | 11:49 |
| Espectro | fat works in linux, windows, and mac | 11:49 |
| diviy | ok gonna have to disconect this machine back in five if it works cheers m8 | 11:49 |
| eckstejs | Espectro: A "normal" USB-Stick (donated by M$ during a MSDN-RoadShow) - Yeah, FAT-Formated | 11:49 |
| ShadowHawk | diviy: good luck | 11:49 |
| Espectro | eckstejs, try formatting it in windows | 11:50 |
| Espectro | eckstejs, if that doesn't work, something is wrong in mass storage | 11:50 |
| eckstejs | eckstejs: it's an mp3-player and is managed by the hardware on the stick | 11:50 |
| Espectro | u talking to urself now? :) | 11:50 |
| Espectro | i wonder how it worked with knoppix | 11:51 |
| Espectro | it is propietary crap | 11:51 |
