| |trey| | HrdwrBoB: I guess... but then, enless you are paying for Warty support, you are owed no support anyways... | 12:43 |
| Drago | but I just noticed sane-find-scanner is saying libusb not availible. | 12:43 |
| ogra | Drago: you have anything sane needs to work by default installed :) | 12:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | |trey|: that's not the point, the point is, it works | 12:43 |
| Drago | I have all the sane and dependencies installed | 12:43 |
| Drago | libusb is the most current. | 12:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | then you PLAN your upgrade to the latest stable after however long | 12:44 |

| HrdwrBoB | you can test upgrades on one machine | 12:48 |
| ogra | Drago: and not break your install.... | 12:48 |
| HrdwrBoB | that is the point | 12:48 |
| kensai | |trey|, Slackman, which one is corect? | 12:48 |
| bob2 | |trey|: no, the composite extension does not do " hardware acceleration" | 12:48 |
| Slackman | |trey| er..its purpose is to render off screen.. | 12:48 |
| bob2 | it's purpose is off-screen composition | 12:48 |
| Slackman | this can be used for opengl later to make it faster | 12:48 |
| Slackman | but at the moment | 12:48 |
| Slackman | its software | 12:48 |
| Slackman | and slow as shit | 12:48 |
| kensai | Slackman, I don't see any difference not even slow things down | 12:48 |
| HrdwrBoB | Slackman: nvidia drivers accelerate it | 12:48 |
| Slackman | but it will, in future allow for a flickerless x | 12:48 |
| HrdwrBoB | it's still slow | 12:48 |
| |trey| | ok.. I don't get why so many people care then? | 12:48 |

| Slackman | kensai: it depends, nvidia cards work well | 12:49 |

| punkass | well dont know what to tell ya..except for hya7ia suggestion | 02:43 |
| Desolate | but even then, I'm nowhere near close to the router | 02:43 |

| punkass | stick it on a disk | 02:44 |
| Desolate | ah | 02:44 |
| punkass | then copy it over | 02:44 |
| Desolate | could I connect the ubuntu pc to this laptop via an ethernet cable? | 02:44 |
| Desolate | or would that not work? | 02:44 |
| punkass | you need a straight through lan cable i believe | 02:45 |

| punkass | instead of a crossover cable, which is normal (i think :) | 02:45 |

| seek187 | lol | 02:48 |
| Desolate | great, thanks punkass | 02:48 |
| seek187 | so could it play quake3? | 02:48 |
| punkass | np | 02:48 |
| gen | q3 is 20 yrs old | 02:48 |
| zenwhen | um | 02:48 |
| mjg59 | seek187: Depends on the Radeon | 02:48 |
| mjg59 | seek187: Newer Radeons need you to use the fgrlx drivers from ATI | 02:49 |
| zenwhen | What card are we talking about? | 02:49 |
| mjg59 | They're included with Ubuntu, but less well tested than the free drivers | 02:49 |
| seek187 | mjg59, ok thx | 02:49 |
| seek187 | 9200 | 02:49 |
| zenwhen | oh | 02:49 |
| calc | any card up to 9200 will work with the free drivers | 02:49 |
| mjg59 | 9200 will work fine with the free drivers | 02:49 |
| zenwhen | fglrx then | 02:49 |
| punkass | Desolate: you need to have wireless tools installed too...might want to check that out | 02:49 |
| seek187 | ok | 02:49 |
| calc | 9500+ need fglrx | 02:49 |
| seek187 | so 9200 will work? | 02:49 |
| Desolate | got a link? :) | 02:49 |
| zenwhen | i thought it was 8500+ | 02:49 |
| mjg59 | Just install ubuntu and you ought to get openGL immediately | 02:49 |
| mjg59 | zenwhen: No | 02:49 |
| zenwhen | Oh | 02:49 |
| punkass | that one should be on the install cd | 02:49 |
| zenwhen | Why would you use the free drivers | 02:49 |
| gen | 8500 brings bad memories to mind | 02:49 |
| punkass | or maybe already installed | 02:50 |
| seek187 | yeah glxgears work fine | 02:50 |
| zenwhen | If oyu wanted to play a game | 02:50 |
| mjg59 | zenwhen: Because we have the source code to debug them | 02:50 |
| zenwhen | you* | 02:50 |
| calc | the 8500 i had hardware issues | 02:50 |
| zenwhen | Well | 02:50 |
| calc | i returned it and got a 7500 | 02:50 |
| seek187 | im just wanted to play ET | 02:50 |
| gen | calc: is my point | 02:50 |
| zenwhen | I know why the distro would use them | 02:50 |
| Desolate | ok | 02:50 |
| zenwhen | I wonder why a user would use them. | 02:50 |
| gen | 8500 had many many many issues upon arrival | 02:50 |
| mjg59 | zenwhen: For laptops, this is going to be much more of an issue when we start supporting suspend/resume | 02:50 |
| mjg59 | The fgrlx drivers are probably not going to work | 02:50 |
| zenwhen | Oh | 02:50 |
| calc | gen: on mine the video had EMI issues, lots of pixel shake at high res, etc | 02:50 |
| mjg59 | The ATI ones will, because we can fix them to | 02:50 |
| Desolate | now, punkass, I've got linux-wlan-ng_0.2.0-15_i386.deb on the linux pc | 02:50 |

| zenwhen | Thats nice, but plenty of people do. | 02:51 |
| punkass | then: sudo dpkg -i Desktop/yourfile.deb | 02:51 |
| mjg59 | zenwhen: No, we won't make it hard | 02:52 |
| zenwhen | Oh alright | 02:52 |
| mjg59 | It just probably won't be the default, because it's harder for us to support | 02:52 |

| x0563511 | but my XF86config is still the default | 04:44 |
| Xenguy | tom_: hmm? | 04:45 |
| x0563511 | Do i need to do anything except change the nv module to nvidia? | 04:45 |
| bob2 | Xenguy: "man interfaces", then edit it | 04:45 |
| bezak | bob2: thanks, ill give that a spin *reboots out of os x* :) | 04:45 |
| bob2 | x0563511: wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto | 04:45 |
| Xenguy | bob2: nod | 04:45 |
| x0563511 | The readme for the nvidia drivers (on the nvidia site) say to remove some of the extensions... | 04:45 |
| bob2 | Xenguy: your bios may not be able to boot the second one, if that's where ubuntu is | 04:45 |
| bob2 | x0563511: ignore that readme | 04:45 |
| marcdm | WW: I don't know if Nautilus has anything to do with it. Used k3b on a Suse 9.1/Gnome 2.8 system | 04:45 |
| tom_ | Xenguy ... i found that URL directly helpful without it leading to a fortnight of basic research | 04:45 |
| bob2 | x0563511: read the url I gave you | 04:45 |
| x0563511 | ok | 04:45 |
| marcdm | burn another CD, I doubt that's a good idea. | 04:46 |
| crimsun | alakdan: like bob2 said, it installs the highest version available. You need to pin if you want a different version. man 5 apt_preferences | 04:46 |
| bob2 | alakdan: or apt-get install enlightenment=VERSION | 04:46 |
| bob2 | "apt-cache policy enlightenment" will list available versions | 04:46 |
| marcdm | I'm somewhat of a believer in the "same action" = "same result" principle | 04:46 |
| bob2 | marcdm: except your cd is fucked | 04:46 |
| bob2 | marcdm: or the cd drive | 04:46 |
| WW | marcdm: Hmmm, maybe it's not related then. Nevermind :) | 04:46 |

| [Quackers] | hmmm... hello guys | 06:50 |
| hypa7ia_ | RobLinux, no, you're definitely gonna have far worse batt life on an amd64 than on a pentium-m | 06:50 |
| Rene_S | johnnybezak, its supposed to get it from you Xorg or Xfree86 config file | 06:51 |
| johnnybezak | Rene_S: can i show you my X config file? | 06:51 |
| nab_ | hehe xen my connection works but im a noob so i cannot help you ;) | 06:51 |
| wm_eddie | what's newer hoary or warty? | 06:51 |
| [Quackers] | I need some help | 06:51 |
| [Quackers] | I'm getting the error "Error loading operating system" after installing ubuntu. The installation process was really smooth, but on reboot my computer wouldn't boot. | 06:51 |
| Rene_S | johnnybezak, sure if ya want | 06:51 |
| GnuHippy | although AMD64 is much better than regular p4 mobile chips | 06:51 |
| johnnybezak | ok ill post it in flood | 06:51 |
| Xenguy | nab_: just tell me how you set it up :-) | 06:51 |
| pdaoust | wm_eddie: warty is the first release; hoary is the second | 06:51 |
| wm_eddie | ok | 06:51 |
| wm_eddie | hoary is going to have firefox 1.0 soon right? | 06:52 |
| Xenguy | nab_: pppoeconf? | 06:52 |
| nab_ | i already set it up during installation when it aksed for ip,dns,etc | 06:52 |
| gen | wm_eddie: just get it yourself, it's a simple install | 06:52 |
| wm_eddie | I think I'll add hoary to my sources list just to get it. | 06:52 |
| pdaoust | wm_eddie: I've already installed firefox 1.0 RC1 from hoary | 06:52 |
| Rene_S | Hmm does no one dl Firefox from mozilla anymore ? | 06:52 |
| Xenguy | nab_: hrm | 06:52 |
| gen | pdaoust: he means 1.0 not an rc | 06:52 |
| wm_eddie | Rene_S: The point of apt it to not have to roll your own packages. | 06:52 |

| RobLinux | you folks know whats the difference between apt-get install ... and apt-get -t testing install ? | 06:53 |
| pdaoust | (to whoever is interested) I think the reason I liked Gentoo so much was not the whole compiling crap... I quickly became enamored with simply installing binaries as soon as I installed Ubuntu... I liked Gentoo because of the package manager (that's the reason most like Gentoo). I think deb/apt is quite lovely. | 06:53 |
| wm_eddie | that's like not cool. | 06:53 |

| Rene_S | yeah | 07:02 |

| hypa7ia_ | Adrenal, it's in synaptics, just search for mozilla | 07:10 |

| pdaoust | Adrenal: kinda cheesy solution, but hey -- it works! | 07:10 |

| Adrenal | is there anyway to put in custom animations then? | 07:10 |
| Rene_S | thats the problem, your modeline is set for 85 hz and neither you vertical or you horizontal support that | 07:10 |
| Rene_S | are you sure your monitor settings are correct ? | 07:10 |
| johnnybezak | the refresh rates? | 07:11 |

| RobLinux | Thanks ROtund let me try | 07:29 |
| bigtony | so your that guy that makes the artwork on the head of a nail | 07:29 |
| johnnybezak | Rene_S: haha | 07:29 |
| Rene_S | I used Yoper Mandrake and this one | 07:29 |
| Chibi | RobLinux - Slackware probably isn't comparable as a desktop to the rest. | 07:29 |
| johnnybezak | well at least it changed, the numbers are wrong though | 07:29 |
| gen | roblinux: you'll find a biased view in here | 07:29 |
| gen | bad place to ask | 07:29 |
| Rotund | RobLinux: I definitely prefer Ubuntu to all except LibraNet (which I haven't useD) | 07:29 |
| Rene_S | Yoper is fast but short on packages | 07:29 |
| Chibi | I've used slackware since I started Linux | 07:29 |
| johnnybezak | because my screen has warped sideways | 07:29 |
| johnnybezak | haha | 07:29 |
| bitserf | bigtony: ProFont is a nice monospace font | 07:30 |
| Rene_S | Mandrake is bloated but good support | 07:30 |
| bitserf | bigtone: i find the .pcf version much clearer at 1600x1200 tho | 07:30 |
| bigtony | alright thanks will try that | 07:30 |
| Rene_S | this is nice but gnome based | 07:30 |
| RobLinux | what you mean CHibi, slackware isnt comparable? | 07:30 |
| johnnybezak | Mandrake is good, control center works well | 07:30 |
| Rene_S | not everyone likes gnome | 07:30 |
| bitserf | bigtony: google for "ProFont", should be the first hit | 07:30 |
| Rotund | RobLinux: Mandrake has really nice guis for setups. Ubuntu and Libranet have apt-get and a huge repository (I assume libra net does) | 07:30 |
| Chibi | You don't want slackware unless everyone in your house is used to text-editing settings. :P | 07:30 |
| bigtony | alright | 07:30 |
| Chibi | It isn't fine tuned for desktop use. | 07:30 |

| holycow | not the shame chibi from efnet i guess :) | 07:31 |
| holycow | ehe | 07:31 |
| holycow | sorry | 07:31 |
| RobLinux | Libranet and Ubuntu should be cousins, only that Ubuntu might get more users since its free and its gonna get me | 07:31 |
| Chibi | On efnet I'm ChibiCng | 07:31 |
| holycow | ever run into chibifont? | 07:31 |

| holycow | well obviously your not the same dude | 07:31 |
| holycow | ehe sorry about that :) | 07:31 |
| Chibi | HolyCOW! | 07:32 |
| holycow | <-- right here | 07:32 |
| holycow | >_> | 07:32 |
| Rotund | RobLinux: biggest issue I've seen w/ Mandrake is the RPM system (have they gotten it better yet?) and the all gui editing of settings means that when the GUI messes up a setting, you have no idea how to fix it. | 07:32 |
| RobLinux | WEll I'm a newbie so I needed something I can change around as my knowledge increases, so right now I'm liking Ubuntu (havent done much there), but been with Libranet more and YOper its nice and whatever but nobody to ask for help there ... Mandrake/Slackware problems with isntallation | 07:32 |

| bigtony | ok let me get it there | 07:33 |

| oddabe19 | killall gnome-panel | 08:52 |
| Lathiat | seek187: yes, dont use xcompmgr | 08:53 |
| Lathiat | you have to restart X to make it go away as well | 08:53 |
| oddabe19 | Lathiat, no you don't | 08:53 |
| Lathiat | yes you do | 08:53 |
| matson | i made this: apt-get install ntp -> ok then i tried to start ntpd but it dosent work | 08:53 |
| seek187 | Ahhh the killall thing worked :) | 08:53 |
| Lathiat | oh restarting gnomepanel | 08:54 |
| Lathiat | yeh guess that would work | 08:54 |
| oddabe19 | like i said... you don't HAVE to | 08:54 |
| oddabe19 | :-P | 08:54 |
| seek187 | Nice now how do I get it to start up before the gnome panels load? | 08:54 |
| oddabe19 | seek187, go into sessions and add program | 08:54 |

| seek187 | well if it gets to bad I will take it off | 08:56 |
| seek187 | pretty neat tho | 08:57 |

| matson | JDahl, i did not find ntpd or similar package... | 09:00 |
| JDahl | matson, I dont think you're supposed to run ntpd yourself... try "sudo /etc/init.d/ntpdate restart" | 09:00 |
| JDahl | matson, I was probably wrong - but I remember installing ntp + ntpserver on debian | 09:01 |
| oddabe19 | alakdan, go into .xsession and add 'exec enlightenment' | 09:01 |
| JDahl | matson, then do "ps -ef | grep ntpd" to see if it is running | 09:02 |
| Heisenberg | my machine starts up DHCP and automatically gets a IP number assigned. Unfortunately it also gets a DNS server IP assigned that equals the gateway. Now, I have changed /etc/resolv.conf a couple of times, but Ubuntu always boots up using the wrong DNS number. Any ideas?? | 09:03 |
| Treenaks | Heisenberg: two options: fix the DHCP server, or edit /etc/dhclient.conf | 09:03 |

| alakdan | oddabe19: nope, enlightenment is not listed on the sessions , only xfce and the default Gnome | 09:10 |
| matson | JDahl, strange...ok thanks...i have to take maybe base-config again.. | 09:10 |

| punkass | have you got wireless set to auto..so it tries to find a dhcp server to connect to? | 09:33 |
| b_e_n_z | Taurendil, just want to say that if you want hyperthreading/smp, you need to download the smp kernel | 09:33 |

| punkass | or on boot up you can just Ctrl-C past it i believe | 09:36 |
| Taurendil | well, I want it to start, just not to take forever, and to use my site instead of searching | 09:37 |
| punkass | do u have wireless and lan on our notebook? | 09:37 |
| punkass | our=your | 09:37 |
| Taurendil | yup | 09:37 |
| Taurendil | and that's what I use | 09:37 |
| punkass | i meant wireless and wired | 09:38 |
| Taurendil | yes, I have both, but usually use the wireless | 09:38 |
| punkass | ok so comment out the eth0 so that it doesnt search for your wired network on boot up | 09:38 |
| punkass | just the auto eth0 line tho | 09:39 |
| Taurendil | Oh, I see, I was confused, eth0 is my wireless, and eth1 wired, but that makes sense, I'll take out the eth1 auto | 09:39 |

| pepsi | every time i get a bigger monitor, i get used to the higher resolution and then want more | 10:08 |
| bluewheel | you need to make partitions under OSX | 10:08 |
| calc | pepsi: above 1600x1200 is expensive | 10:08 |
| pepsi | blah | 10:08 |
| calc | pepsi: see apple 30" lcd for example ;) | 10:08 |
| pepsi | yeah | 10:09 |
| pepsi | screw that | 10:09 |
| ttikk | my entire disk is ubuntu right now. i want to replace it with os x | 10:09 |
| bluewheel | then split it when you install ubuntu | 10:09 |
| calc | or the 1920x1200 lcds for ~ $2000 | 10:09 |
| ttikk | disk freeses on bot | 10:09 |
| ttikk | what is the tool for managing partitions ? | 10:09 |
| bluewheel | parted | 10:09 |
| ttikk | thnx | 10:09 |
| bluewheel | np | 10:09 |
| pepsi | 1920x1200 could be okay | 10:09 |
| ttikk | where is it located ? | 10:09 |
| sid77 | err... isn't it mac-cfdisk? | 10:09 |
| pepsi | i could see 2 facing pages on a pdf | 10:09 |
| calc | pepsi: but you could buy two 1600x1200 lcds for cheaper than one 1920x1200 | 10:10 |
| pepsi | but then you have 2 lcds | 10:10 |
| bluewheel | yea mac-fdisk | 10:10 |
| punkass | 23" Wide W UXGA 1920x1200 | 10:10 |
| punkass | benq | 10:10 |
| calc | pepsi: and a lot more screen space :) | 10:11 |
| ttikk | where is mac-fdisk located ? | 10:11 |
| calc | two 1600x1200 is roughly 65% bigger than a more expensive single 1920x1200 | 10:11 |
| pepsi | i want 2024x1536 | 10:11 |
| pepsi | :) | 10:11 |
| punkass | whoa that benq is 2266 canadian | 10:12 |
| calc | pepsi: why not just a 9MP display ;) | 10:12 |
| pepsi | where can i get one? | 10:12 |
| ttikk | is mac-cfdisk decompressed on the cd | 10:12 |
| calc | ibm and viewsonic make them, probably other companies too | 10:12 |
| pepsi | er i meant 2048x1536 | 10:12 |
| pepsi | thats 3MP | 10:13 |
| sid77 | ttikk, what do you have on your disk? | 10:13 |
| pepsi | crap | 10:13 |
| sid77 | ttikk, only linux? many partitions? | 10:13 |
| ttikk | on the ramdisk for the cd | 10:13 |
| ttikk | only linux | 10:13 |

| sid77 | ttikk, and how is the partition table setted up? | 10:13 |
| calc | only around $8000 | 10:13 |
| pepsi | hrm | 10:13 |
| sid77 | set up | 10:13 |
| pepsi | lemme check my wallet | 10:13 |

| sid77 | ttikk, I was answering the phone | 10:14 |
| sid77 | sorry | 10:14 |
| ttikk | np | 10:15 |
| punkass | anyone havin problems when a window is maximized it covers the gnome-panels? | 10:15 |
| calc | pepsi: plus it requires a special video card since no desktop cards can drive anything near that big | 10:15 |
| sid77 | ttikk, so do you want dual boot: os x a nd linux? | 10:15 |
| punkass | im using hoary. | 10:15 |
| ttikk | nah | 10:15 |
| pepsi | calc, same with the large apple display | 10:15 |
| seek187 | punkass, I did | 10:15 |
| ttikk | i just want to reinstall mac os x on the entire disk | 10:15 |
| ttikk | but it freezes when the CD loads | 10:15 |
| punkass | seek187: did u get it fixed? | 10:15 |
| calc | pepsi: yep, but the apple display is only about half the ibm resolution, heh ;) | 10:15 |
| calc | and ibm's is only ~ 20" | 10:15 |
| ttikk | so i was thinking i should remove all linux partitions | 10:15 |
| stuNNed | ttikk, think you can boot from apple install cd and run mac fdisk or something | 10:16 |
| pepsi | 9MP in 20"?! | 10:16 |
| ttikk | apple install cd stalls on boot | 10:16 |
| calc | ah 22" 9.2MP | 10:16 |
| pepsi | how is that useful at all? | 10:16 |
| pepsi | hrm | 10:16 |
| calc | pepsi: very detailed spy maps | 10:16 |
| sid77 | uhmmm | 10:16 |
| seek187 | punkass, yes just killall gnome-panel | 10:16 |
| sid77 | ttikk, at which stage it freeze? | 10:16 |
| pepsi | can you even see 1 pixel? | 10:16 |
| seek187 | it fixed mine | 10:16 |
| pepsi | its pretty hard to see a single pixel right now | 10:16 |
| ttikk | when the apple logo is on the screen | 10:16 |
| ttikk | the graphic gets slightly fucked up | 10:16 |
| ttikk | and it freezes | 10:17 |
| seek187 | mine did it because of xcompmgr | 10:17 |
| Treenaks | xcompmgr makes everything _slow_ | 10:17 |
| punkass | ah yes i think mine to...thanks | 10:18 |
| daniels | Treenaks: surprise surprise | 10:18 |
| punkass | but not as slow as i was expecting | 10:18 |
| Treenaks | daniels: oh I was prepared for slowness | 10:18 |

| ttikk | i am not using my original disks though. i borrowed some disks from a friend | 10:18 |
| seek187 | ah ok | 10:18 |
| calc | so no you probably can't see a single pixel without a magnifying glass | 10:19 |
| ttikk | seek187, any ideas ? | 10:19 |
| bluewheel | ttikk, what is the partition map on the machine at the moment ? | 10:19 |
| pepsi | thats pretty crazy | 10:19 |
| pepsi | buy me one, calc :) | 10:19 |
| seek187 | ok it won't run again tho | 10:19 |
| bluewheel | does it have the origional apple ones ? | 10:19 |
| ttikk | bluewheel, how do i find out? | 10:19 |
| sid77 | ttikk, open a terminal and run "sudo mac-fdisk -r -l" | 10:19 |
| ttikk | no, it has ubuntu entire disk partition | 10:19 |
| punkass | thanks seek187 worked like a charm | 10:19 |
| ttikk | sid77, i am booted from the ubuntu cd | 10:19 |

| sid77 | which partitioning tool is on the cd? | 10:21 |
| ttikk | my disk might still be bootable | 10:21 |
| ttikk | let me try | 10:21 |
| punkass | daniels: is there a reason that only part of transset is available? | 10:21 |
| ttikk | my disk is not bootable | 10:22 |
| ttikk | how do i restore the partitions using the cd ? | 10:22 |

| sid77 | well, it shouldn't | 10:22 |
| bluewheel | ttikk, i had a simmilar problem a while back | 10:23 |
| sid77 | afaik it should just ignore them and boot off the cd | 10:23 |
| bluewheel | think i used the OS 9 cd, or a 10.2 installer | 10:23 |
| ttikk | i am encountering the prob with 10.3 installer | 10:23 |
| sid77 | have you any 10.2 cds as bluewheel suggested? | 10:24 |
| bluewheel | yea it was 10.3 that didn't work for me, but 10.2 did | 10:24 |
| ttikk | oh | 10:24 |
| ttikk | no, i dont | 10:24 |
| ttikk | can i exit the installer into a shell | 10:24 |
| ttikk | once parted has been loaded from pacakge | 10:24 |
| bluewheel | do you know anyone else with a powerbok or new ibook ? you could do a dd (pretty hacky, but worth a try if nothing else works) | 10:25 |
| ttikk | the installer wont let me continue with no partitions on the disk | 10:25 |
| sid77 | wait, which installer? | 10:26 |
| sid77 | os x or ubuntu? | 10:26 |
| daniels | Treenaks: you hit by far the slowest path through the acceleration architecture | 10:26 |
| ttikk | ubuntu | 10:26 |
| sid77 | (I'm getting a bit lost) | 10:26 |
| sid77 | ok | 10:26 |
| ttikk | why can't i run parted from the ubuntu cd | 10:26 |
| daniels | punkass: yes -- it was late, I was in the middle of getting kicked out of an internet cafe because they wee closing, and I was tired | 10:26 |
| sid77 | from the installer can you choose "manually partitioning your disk" | 10:26 |
| sid77 | ? | 10:26 |

| ttikk | how do i remove partitions ? | 10:36 |
| sid77 | try only with swap and / | 10:36 |
| sid77 | leave partition map and bootblock | 10:36 |

| ttikk | but that requires another computer ? | 10:49 |
| sid77 | so you can format it from another mac | 10:49 |
| sid77 | yes | 10:49 |
| Treenaks | |trey|: the bug already exists (it should use sudo, not su) | 10:49 |
| |trey| | x0563511: hmm... you should have more :( | 10:49 |
| ttikk | why would the disk need to be formatted though | 10:49 |

| |trey| | Treenaks: ahh, I searched, didn't see it :( | 10:49 |
| ttikk | lame.. | 10:49 |
| x0563511 | |trey|, i have the main, restricted, security, universe, and multiverse repositories up | 10:49 |
| Nafallo | x0563511: mplayer-custom, mplayer-fonts and mozilla-mplayer would do. | 10:49 |
| sid77 | ttikk, last step could also be resetting the nvram | 10:50 |
| x0563511 | ok, ill report back after install | 10:50 |
| Nafallo | |trey|: this is multiverse, not debian-marillat repository :-) | 10:50 |

| ttikk | that must be the problem | 10:50 |
| ttikk | how do i restore the nvram ? | 10:50 |
| x0563511 | Nafallo, should i add the marilllat repos? i have it, its just switched off | 10:51 |
| sid77 | it is not ubuntu fault however | 10:51 |
| ttikk | ? | 10:51 |

| sid77 | www.apple.com | 10:51 |

| sid77 | every model has is own method | 10:51 |
| Nafallo | |trey|: yepp, and the mplayerpackage from him is mplayer-custom :-) | 10:51 |
| sid77 | ttikk, because yaboot is the only boot manager avalaible for new world mac | 10:52 |
| |trey| | Nafallo: currently, I am seeing NO mplayer packages... only thing returned when searching for mplayer is mga-vid-source | 10:52 |

| sid77 | ttikk, every linux distro use it | 10:52 |

| x0563511 | that goes in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70apt<something>? | 11:38 |
| mirak | can I use debian packages ? | 11:38 |

| x0563511 | ive got the pinning part already in halfway though | 11:39 |
| |trey| | x0563511: haha... ok... ignore what I said about Default-Release, pinning will handle that... | 11:39 |
| |trey| | x0563511: seriously, read the man page, its written by people that wrote the features in... :) | 11:40 |
| |trey| | x0563511: pinning is good to get down though, useful :) | 11:40 |
| x0563511 | so do i want to add the distro "hoary" from archive.ubuntulinux.org? | 11:40 |
| x0563511 | and hoary-security from security.ubuntulinux.org? | 11:40 |
| x0563511 | * ubuntu.com in both | 11:40 |
| |trey| | x0563511: yes... they will be the same as warty, only with 'hoary' instead... | 11:41 |
| x0563511 | Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf:6: Extra junk at end of file | 11:41 |
| |trey| | <x0563511> * ubuntu.com in both <-- not this though.. | 11:42 |

| |trey| | x0563511: then make it... | 11:42 |
| x0563511 | wait a tick | 11:42 |
| x0563511 | the pinning you gave me adds "debian" at -10 priority? | 11:42 |
| |trey| | Should be hoary... | 11:43 |
| x0563511 | theres 2 | 11:43 |
| x0563511 | hoary | 11:43 |
| x0563511 | and then a debian one | 11:43 |
| |trey| | Default priority = 0... this makes it less important then warty... | 11:43 |
| x0563511 | this is what you told me to enter: | 11:44 |

| |trey| | x0563511: I can't find what -o means :( | 11:45 |
| |trey| | x0563511: just get rid of that... hoary needs to be -10 though.. | 11:45 |
| x0563511 | so, disregard the whole second section... and set hoary's priority to -10? | 11:45 |
| x0563511 | ok | 11:45 |
| |trey| | yes... if you want, you can even set the 'debian' entry to 'warty, and make it 900 though... just to make sure its seen as default :) | 11:46 |
| x0563511 | but what did the o=Debian mean? Hoary had an a= | 11:46 |
| |trey| | x0563511: I'm not entirely sure, I don't see it mentioned :( | 11:47 |
| x0563511 | use a=? | 11:47 |
| |trey| | x0563511: sure... just make sure the number is a lot higher for warty then hoary, and nothing else should really matter :) | 11:48 |

| |trey| | x0563511: next time you see mdz around though, you can pick his brain on the subject, he wrote apt afaik :) | 11:48 |
| Adrenal | whats the apt-get command to install firefox 1.0? | 11:48 |
| |trey| | Adrenal: the final release hasn't gotten in yet... you can use the installer though... my instructor said it worked for him... | 11:49 |
| Adrenal | kk | 11:49 |
| Adrenal | which folder do i install it to? | 11:49 |
| Adrenal | like, which is ff normally installed to | 11:49 |

| Adrenal | i know | 11:49 |
| Adrenal | meh, thanks | 11:50 |
| x0563511 | if i uninstall all of the linux-686 packages, and replace them with linux-k7 packages... would that break stuff? | 11:50 |

| x0563511 | |trey|, what do you mean? | 11:51 |
| |trey| | x0563511: right now, everything is in ram... modules, everything... if it starts to replace things there for whatever reason, and the modules are gone, it can't reload them, best case scenario your sys freezes... | 11:52 |
| |trey| | its just a bad thing though... | 11:52 |
| Treenaks | |trey|: uh.. it doesn't need to reload them, it won't freeze | 11:52 |
| |trey| | x0563511: so, once the 686 packages are gone, and the k7 packages are installed and configured (in grub, done automatically), just reboot | 11:53 |
| Treenaks | |trey|: and if it needs to reload, but the driver is gone, it'll just put an error in the log and continue | 11:53 |
| Treenaks | |trey|: the k7 packages put the modules in different dirs.. | 11:53 |
| |trey| | Treenaks: I'm just saying... it even pops up a message when you try to remove the current kernel about it... | 11:53 |
| x0563511 | so i can install the k7 packages without removing the 686 ones? | 11:53 |
| |trey| | x0563511: sure... | 11:53 |
| Treenaks | |trey|: that's also about the kernel (hotplug for example) trying to load modules that don't exist anymore.. | 11:54 |
| x0563511 | then reboot into k7, then remove the 686 (provided everything works) | 11:54 |
| Treenaks | |trey|: freezing is very, very unlikely | 11:54 |
| |trey| | x0563511: grub doesn't know about the differences in the kernels, it just does what its told :) | 11:54 |
| x0563511 | k, ill try that | 11:54 |
| |trey| | Treenaks: sure... its unlikely... but the longer you wait to reboot, the higher the chance... | 11:54 |
| Treenaks | |trey|: no. | 11:55 |
| |trey| | Treenaks: I've kept a system running without a kernel being installed for about a week just to see what happens... trust me its ugly... | 11:55 |
| Treenaks | |trey|: it won't crash if you remove the modules or kernel image <period> | 11:55 |
| Treenaks | |trey|: I've run a kernel-less system for a year.. I noticed when I had a power failure | 11:56 |

| x0563511 | and, more importantly, will programs ive compiled be incompatible? | 12:00 |
| |trey| | x0563511: hmm, actually... linux-image = warty, kernel-image = hoary... safer to go with linux-image though... | 12:01 |
| x0563511 | well, the description and version tags are identical | 12:01 |
| mawa | |trey|: thanks. that's a lot of information, though... at first, I'd simply like to have some debugging output from gnome-cups-manager because it silently fails each time I try to add the printer | 12:01 |
| x0563511 | but ill stick with the linux ones | 12:01 |
| |trey| | x0563511: you should notice your system is more smooth feeling etc... it should feel faster due to actually being for your hardware... | 12:01 |

| eclipse | then i need to upgrade to x.org | 05:45 |
| kensai | eclipse: xorg is only obtained with hoary | 05:46 |
| kensai | so change your sources.list | 05:46 |
| tseng | the only major problem with hoary ive noticed is, evolution 2.1 is a bit flakey | 05:46 |
| kensai | tseng: It gets constant upgades | 05:46 |
| kensai | tseng: but your right | 05:47 |
| eclipse | kensai, i only want x.org not gnome 2.9.1 | 05:47 |
| eclipse | can i do that? | 05:48 |
| mirak | yes | 05:48 |
| mirak | wait | 05:48 |

| mirak | then you copy the appropriate source to hoary in sources.list | 05:50 |
| mirak | you had the hoary mirors in fact | 05:50 |
| mirak | then you do something like | 05:51 |
| mirak | apt-get -t hoary install "thenameofthepackagewithxorg" | 05:51 |

| rapha | Hi all! | 06:38 |
| bigtony | i'm gonna ask a really stupid question so please laugh if you must: i downloaded off of driverguide.com a 3c509b driver for the isa nic that says its for linux but its an exe question how do i install it do i use wine? | 06:38 |
| tom_ | sect2k: Okay, so you want to change it then to point to 0,0,0. You can either change yamaha or create another line with a different name and then put that same name up top as CDR_DEVICE=newdevicename | 06:38 |

| Rene_S | Hmm try reinstalling firefox | 06:41 |
| sect2k | also automounting of CD doesn't work, it use to, but stoped at some point | 06:41 |
| tom_ | sect2k: hrmph. That's not good. | 06:41 |
| rapha | tom_: Well I was just asking because this happens with some flash sites. But since Rene_S has flash installed... | 06:41 |
| thoreauputic | webmaven_: well, short of compiling it, you may be out of luck - and I would guess it's tricky to compile, judging by the dependencies etc | 06:41 |

| sect2k | tom_: nothing | 06:46 |
| bigtony | supos any command to type to get it to link? | 06:46 |
| tom_ | sect2k: Actually, scratch that -- run dmesg | grep -i 'cd' | 06:47 |
| rapha | Ninko: It's also in the menu under "System Tools" > "Configuration Editor". | 06:47 |
| gass | where can i find the packages, or a list of the packages shipped with ubuntu? | 06:47 |
| Ninko | and an opinion question: which font do you use in GNOME? | 06:47 |
| Ninko | rapha: i thought i had already checked through all the menus, but thanks | 06:47 |
| sect2k | tom_:still nothing | 06:47 |

| thoreauputic | bigtony: maybe have a look for isapnptools | 06:48 |
| Ninko | haha ok | 06:48 |

| thoreauputic | bigtony: apt-cache search isapnptools | 06:48 |
| bigtony | ok let me try and thanks | 06:48 |

| bigtony | the card works on a windows machine i tested it | 06:48 |
| rapha | shelldos: The same as your physical machine has, naturally. | 06:48 |
| tom_ | sect2k: Are you sure you ran it right? It seems strange that nothing in dmesg had the letters "cd" in it. | 06:48 |

| webmaven_ | who do I talk to? | 06:51 |
| tom_ | sect2k: Very odd. I'm pretty stuck at this point. I guess the ubuntu way to look would be to use the nice graphical interface to devices: Computer->System Configuration->Device Manager and see if it says anything about a CDROM | 06:51 |
| thoreauputic | bigtony: isa on linux can be a pain, I'm afraid | 06:51 |

| rapha | Nope. | 07:17 |
| Rene_S | WebMaven, yeah thats nothing but a hunk of crap in my opinion | 07:18 |
| shaver | what page? | 07:18 |
| rapha | shaver: FireFox 1.0, default mozilla.org release, still hangs at loading ebay.de | 07:18 |
| Ninko | alright, now i'm running ubuntu instead of windows :) and i can't find the setting for gnome-panel's autohide delay in gconf-editor | 07:18 |
| marcdm | tom_ : I've tried various combinations of cds and cd-rom drives. I've changed RAM, but not hard drive. | 07:18 |
| webmaven_ | Rene_S, makes no sense for Lifrea to be in Warty but not Straw. | 07:18 |
| rapha | Ninko: Then there might not be one for that. But since this ISN'T Windows, you are free to go and change the source code! | 07:18 |
| shaver | rapha: like, the UI locks up? | 07:18 |
| Rene_S | rapha, did you do something funny to your linux ? | 07:18 |
| webmaven_ | Especially since Straw is written in Python. | 07:19 |
| marcdm | tom_: I've verified the md5sum of the iso and the CD on 2 different machines. | 07:19 |
| rapha | shaver: Yes. | 07:19 |
| shaver | rapha: or the page just doesn't load quickly? | 07:19 |
| marcdm | it still fails in the same place | 07:19 |
| rapha | Rene_S: Nope. Not to my knowledge. | 07:19 |
| shaver | rapha: does it unlock if you wait? | 07:19 |
| shaver | or is it permanent? | 07:19 |
| rapha | shaver: I waited for, like, 10 minutes. | 07:19 |
| shaver | hrm | 07:19 |
| Rene_S | rapha, thats just odd | 07:19 |
| shaver | what plugins do you have installed, if any? | 07:19 |
| rapha | And Metacity says the window doesn't respond when I click the close button. | 07:19 |
| shaver | (check about:plugins) | 07:19 |
| thoreauputic | Ninko: I don't think you need gconf for that - you can change it in properties for the panels IIRC | 07:19 |
| tom_ | marcdm: Sounds bad. But I think your solution will be figuring out why/how it's failing -- look for any error messages you see. You can't really get a working system without the initrd stuff. | 07:19 |
| Ninko | rapha: http://www.fifi.org/doc/gnome-panel-data/html/panel/C/globalpanelprefs.html <-- there's no menu like that in ubuntu? | 07:19 |
| rapha | QuickTime Plug-in 6.0, Windows Media Player Plugin are supported by mplayerplug-in | 07:20 |
| kent | is there a way to make ubuntu reconfihure the network? | 07:20 |
| ironwolf | hi lamont | 07:20 |
| Ninko | thoreauputic: no, there's only an option to enable autohide; no option for delay time | 07:20 |
| nomasteryoda | kent, sudo network-admin ? | 07:20 |
| rapha | Ninko: That control center is VEEERY old. | 07:20 |
| marcdm | tom_: I checked the virtual terminal 3 and it doesn't say anything more than what the installer said | 07:20 |
| marcdm | nothing. | 07:20 |
| thoreauputic | Ninko: ah, I see | 07:20 |
| Ninko | rapha: haha, okay, but it still has auto-hide delay! | 07:20 |
| shaver | rapha: can you remove those plugins and see if it hangs? | 07:21 |
| Ninko | i can't find that setting anywhere....does gnome even support it any more? it should | 07:21 |
| kent | nomasteryoda, welll, i thought maybe there is a non-gnome way? | 07:21 |

| punkass | xcompmgr creates shawdows | 07:40 |

| punkass | transset does the transparency | 07:40 |

| Rene_S | ah . I dont need invisible desktop items that bad then, I am already blind :) | 07:41 |
| nico_ | Chibi: ok, thanks, as soon as i find some spare time (and i'm brave enough) i'll give it a try. i tested ubuntu last week, and i'm really impressed, good work guys! | 07:41 |
| pdaoust | Rene_S: I think xcompmgr, run without shadows, also double-buffers the screen or something funky like that -- the advantage of this is, when you move a window across the screen, the windows underneath don't get redrawn. It's very slick (as long as you have 2D hardware acceleration) | 07:41 |

| punkass | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ you can click around here and few the packages and version for each | 07:59 |
| cenerentola | yeah but until sarge got officially released, i used its packages without problems... | 07:59 |
| Quazion | anyone an idea about how i can get some sort of notification in the panel when there is new mail in evolution ? | 08:00 |
| pdaoust | Quazion: don't think you can hook it specifically to evolution, but the GNOME e-mail checker panel can be configured for POP3, IMAP, and local mailboxes | 08:01 |
| pdaoust | Quazion: meant to say the GNOME e-mail checker panel *applet* | 08:01 |
| sanitario | anyone got problems with nautilus in hoary? | 08:01 |
| WW | pdaoust: So that would run as a separate app, polling the mail server? | 08:01 |
| Quazion | yeah, but when after evolution downloads the email, the pop3 account has no more new mail so the inbox monitor will go off again i guess | 08:01 |
| pdaoust | WW: that's right; it's just a little applet that sits in your panel -- no connection to Evo | 08:02 |
| Quazion | and i have multiple inboxxes, dont need 4 applets ;-) | 08:02 |
| cardador | sanitario: sudo apt-get install gamin | 08:02 |
| pdaoust | Quazion: ohhhhhhhh... that's right. | 08:02 |
| Quazion | maybe it just isnt there | 08:02 |
| cenerentola | sorry but will packages be added to warty repository or theyre freezed? | 08:02 |
| sanitario | cardador: yeah, I've done that... and removed fam... | 08:02 |
| pdaoust | Quazion: how about this: (sorry, it'll take a sec until I can see if it works) | 08:02 |
| Quazion | maybe i should write a feature request at the evolution coders :) | 08:02 |
| cardador | sanitario: is your nautilus still slow? | 08:03 |
| sanitario | cardador: actually, the problem is that when I go to Computer -> Disks | 08:03 |
| cardador | sanitario: what happens? | 08:03 |
| sanitario | I get Cd-rom%201.drive Filesystem.desktop Network.desktop etc | 08:03 |
| pdaoust | Quazion: here you go.... okay, in the Inbox Monitor prefs panel, under the Inbox Settings tab, you'll find | 08:04 |
| sanitario | and nautilus says it doesn't know how to handle those files | 08:04 |
| pdaoust | Quazion: Mailbox resides on: Local mailspool | 08:04 |
| pdaoust | Quazion: Mail spool file should point to /home/yourname/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox | 08:04 |
| punkass | should DMA be enabled for HDs and DVDroms etc? | 08:05 |
| Quazion | where do i find the local mailspool file settings, or is it default at the .evolution/mail.... file ? | 08:05 |
| Quazion | ah found it | 08:06 |
| Quazion | its in the settings of the inbox monitor | 08:06 |
| cenerentola | quazion:sorry but will packages be added to warty repository or theyre freezed? | 08:06 |
| pdaoust | Quazion: here's where it gets confusing; your local mailspool file is /var/spool/mail/yourname, but not if you're using Evolution | 08:06 |
| pdaoust | Quazion: Evolution has its own mailspool under ~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox | 08:06 |
| cardador | sanitario: sorry cant help you. maybe post it in the forum/mail list? | 08:06 |
| sanitario | cardador: yeah, I probably should... | 08:07 |
| Quazion | pdaoust, i saw, i understand now. Thanks. still since evolution is the default client maybe they should change it | 08:07 |
| Quazion | cenerentola, i really have no idea. | 08:07 |
| counterfeitliver | how do I determine my ethernet cards MAC address? | 08:07 |
| pdaoust | Quazion: no kidding. I circumvented the whole mess by using maildirs and Courier-IMAP | 08:07 |

| mirak | where can I find kernel-headers-2.6.8.1-3-386 from hoary ? | 09:10 |
| erik_ | woody, apt-get update doesn't install anything, it just refreshes the package lists. If you're trying to upgrade, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade will replace XFree86 with Xorg and X will work in the end, yes. | 09:10 |

| GnuHippy | I need to get my mp3 collection back to a windows partition | 09:41 |
| GnuHippy | it is too big for even a dvd | 09:41 |
| Matt| | GnuHippy, use fat then | 09:41 |
| GnuHippy | mkfs.vfat: Attempting to create a too large file system | 09:41 |
| GnuHippy | thats what I get | 09:41 |
| Matt| | GnuHippy, ok. the solution is to fix that rather than try and make an ntfs partition tho | 09:41 |
| GnuHippy | ok | 09:41 |

| erik_ | gwildor_, does ubuntu's gdm respect ~/.xsession ? | 09:43 |
| gwildor_ | woody, like gnome, but alternatives | 09:43 |
| erik_ | woody, alternative window managers that are a lot leaner | 09:43 |

| Desolate | hypa7ia? | 10:35 |
| Desolate | any ideas? | 10:36 |
| erik_ | why is cd burning as non-root unstable? | 10:36 |
| gwildor_ | to the person with the wireless problem, (im probably wrong ) maybe it isnt wlan0 | 10:36 |
| pdaoust | erik_: it's less stable than root because root can renice the burning process to whatever it wants, thereby avoiding buffer underruns. | 10:36 |
| hypa7ia | Desolate: does iwconfig look similar to what it did before | 10:36 |
| pdaoust | erik_: (i.e., change the process priority) | 10:37 |
| erik_ | pdaoust, ah. didn't know cdrecord would renice itself | 10:37 |
| pdaoust | erik_: actually, I'm not sure if it does; maybe it just starts out with a high-priority value | 10:38 |

| HrdwrBoB | Gwildor: stuff might break, but everything works for me | 11:48 |
| Matt| | eclipse, oh you haven't upgraded it yet? | 11:48 |
| eclipse | no | 11:49 |
| HrdwrBoB | Gwildor: just make sure you install gamin | 11:49 |
| epod | subterrific: is there a patch or something I can apply? Anything I can do about it? | 11:49 |
| epod | subterrific: apt-get install linux-686-smp-2.9 or something? :) | 11:49 |
| eclipse | r u using hoary? | 11:49 |
| Matt| | eclipse, yes | 11:49 |
| HrdwrBoB | yes | 11:49 |
| Gwildor | HrdwrBoB, what is that...and why? | 11:49 |
| ogra | Gwildor: it _must_ not but it also can _heavy_ | 11:49 |
| Matt| | HrdwrBoB, is that not added yet? | 11:49 |
| HrdwrBoB | Gwildor: it is a replacement for FAM | 11:49 |
| subterrific | epod: i think you just have to use sudo to burn as root :\ | 11:49 |
| hypa7ia | Rene_S: who who | 11:49 |
| Gwildor | ogram i am aware that it may, what are the chances? | 11:49 |
| epod | subterrific: hm I see. Ok. | 11:49 |
| HrdwrBoB | Matt|: it's not a direct dependancy, so you have to make sure you install it | 11:49 |
| Gwildor | HrdwrBoB, what is fam? | 11:49 |
| HrdwrBoB | Gwildor: file alteration monitor | 11:49 |
| Matt| | HrdwrBoB, surely they should add that as a dependency | 11:49 |
| Rene_S | hypa7ia, wth, you turn into a owl overnight ? | 11:49 |
| Gwildor | HrdwrBoB, kk, thnx :) | 11:50 |
| HrdwrBoB | it looks at dirs that are open and updats them when files change | 11:50 |
| ogra | Gwildor: god knows.... or jdub perhaps :) | 11:50 |
| Matt| | Gwildor, you don't need to know, just install gamin after you update to hoary | 11:50 |
| epod | subterrific: don't suppose you know how I can make K3b not look like crap, eh? ;) I don't have KDE installed (just the default gnome) and man is k3b uggglly | 11:50 |
| subterrific | epod: i'm not really sure, this is just what i've gathered from other people. i don't have a burner in my ubuntu machine | 11:50 |
| tigmore | i just switched from fedoracore yellowdog and darwin i would like to see some communication variety in gaim | 11:50 |
| === epod nods | ||
| epod | subterrific: ok then, thanks :) | 11:50 |
| Gwildor | k, guys....here i go | 11:50 |
| eclipse | well, is hoary stable or it is buggy? | 11:50 |
| Matt| | buggy | 11:50 |
| === camden [~camden@209-193-9-15-rb1.jnu.acsalaska.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| subterrific | stable | 11:50 |
| epod | I'm gonna guess buggy | 11:50 |
| Matt| | :p | 11:50 |
| Rene_S | Its a bit of bother | 11:50 |
| ogra | depends | 11:50 |
| HrdwrBoB | eclipse: hoary is neither stable, nor bug ridden | 11:50 |
| Rene_S | both | 11:50 |
| tigmore | im a ppc user noone seems to have voice chat capabilities for ppc | 11:51 |
| Matt| | eclipse, it is fine | 11:51 |
| eclipse | so warty is more stable? | 11:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | yes | 11:51 |
| Matt| | eclipse, a bit more | 11:51 |
| eclipse | ok | 11:51 |
| ogra | eclipse: warty is stable, hoary is dev | 11:51 |
| epod | hoary is always changing, I am guessing | 11:51 |
| eclipse | but all i want is to upgrade to x.org | 11:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | eclipse: correct | 11:51 |
| tigmore | warty is cool | 11:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | warty will not change | 11:51 |
| Matt| | eclipse, either go to hoary or compile and install xorg from source. | 11:52 |
| eclipse | is there a way i can do that without upgrading other packages? | 11:52 |
| === keknehv [~ryanh@c-67-172-140-150.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| keknehv | ls | 11:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | but that means also it wil not get updated | 11:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | eclipse: you can change the sources.list | 11:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | update to xorg | 11:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | then change them back | 11:52 |
| epod | is there a hoary iso? if so grab that. | 11:52 |
| Gwildor | ogra, i want dist-upgrade, or synaptic smart...correct? | 11:52 |
| Matt| | HrdwrBoB, risky as hell surely | 11:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | Matt|: not really | 11:52 |
| Matt| | Gwildor, yep | 11:52 |
| ogra | HrdwrBoB: what do you gain with newer software ? | 11:52 |
| keknehv | How do I remove whole directories without going in and removing each one individually? | 11:52 |
| ogra | Gwildor: right | 11:52 |
| Gwildor | Matt|, kk, what i thought, thnx | 11:52 |
| Matt| | ogra, kudos | 11:52 |
| Rene_S | Here is how i explain it : If you have a standard pc, not running anything too funky like wifi, or bizarro pcmcia, or star wars defence apps then hoary should be ok to run | 11:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | ogra: whatever is in the newer software :) | 11:52 |
| keknehv | (each file) | 11:52 |
| Matt| | keknehv, -R | 11:52 |
| epod | keknehv: rm -R | 11:52 |
| HrdwrBoB | ogra: including new features, and also new bugs! | 11:52 |
| eclipse | HrdwrBoB: can u help me? | 11:53 |
| keknehv | OH | 11:53 |
| Matt| | keknehv, -r sorry | 11:53 |

| epod | no,-R ;) | 11:53 |
| Matt| | keknehv, to be used CAREFULLY | 11:53 |
| tigmore | anyone familiar with ubuntu on imacs | 11:53 |
| ben_ | anyone good with rig? i need help with math hw | 11:53 |
| epod | yeah, don't sudo rm -rf / | 11:53 |
| epod | it'd bad :P | 11:53 |
| ben_ | *trig | 11:53 |
| camden | epod: have you ever done that to a working system? | 11:53 |
| ogra | HrdwrBoB: i use my system to work with them....i cant bear any outages because of bugs..... | 11:53 |
| === Tyche69 [~Tyche@cpe-66-1-185-116.ut.sprintbbd.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Gwildor | HrdwrBoB, can i install gamin along with the upgrade, or do i need to wait?, i am using synaptic? | 11:53 |
| Matt| | epod, i thought it was -R ;P | 11:53 |
| epod | camden: yes, they don't remain working. | 11:53 |
| HrdwrBoB | ogra: precisely, this is why you use warty! :) | 11:53 |
| epod | Matt|: I'm dumb. | 11:53 |
| epod | :) | 11:54 |
| ogra | yep | 11:54 |
| === Kirsch [~adam@roc-66-66-12-34.rochester.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| camden | epod: it's actually pretty interesting how far it'll go. | 11:54 |
| Riddell | epod: install kdeartwork-styles and put widgetStyle=plastik in ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals (to make k3b look sensible) | 11:54 |
| Kirsch | how do u change the increment steps for powernowd? | 11:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | Gwildor: it might be depended on now, just upgrade, then check it | 11:54 |
| ogra | HrdwrBoB: in fact i got a hoary playground here.... | 11:54 |
| epod | camden: /. had a thing on that the other day | 11:54 |
| epod | Riddell: ahhh nice, thanks :) | 11:54 |
| Gwildor | HrdwrBoB, kk | 11:54 |
| ogra | HrdwrBoB: but pretty unused | 11:54 |
| Keybuk | Kirsch: I think it just uses whatever step your processor can do | 11:54 |
| epod | Riddell: I can do that even w/o KDE installed? | 11:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | cool | 11:54 |
| camden | epod: oh, really? I used to read /. every day but I miss most of the stuff on there now. | 11:54 |
| Riddell | epod: don't see why not | 11:54 |
| Kirsch | Keybuk: well i know that my processor can do more than 1.20GHz and 2.20GHz | 11:54 |
| Keybuk | syndicate scott% cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies | 11:55 |
| Keybuk | 1600000 1400000 1200000 1000000 800000 600000 | 11:55 |
| epod | Riddell: excellent :) | 11:55 |
| Keybuk | and those are the frequencies I see powernowd cycle through | 11:55 |
| eclipse | Matt| r u running hoary? | 11:55 |
| tigmore | if you need help for gaim on ubuntu for the visual impaired who can help | 11:55 |
| Kirsch | it only says 2.2 and 1.2.. i know it can do more tho | 11:56 |
| Keybuk | Kirsch: that file? | 11:56 |
| Kirsch | ya | 11:56 |
| Keybuk | what processor type is it? | 11:56 |
| Matt| | eclipse, if you are trying just to update to xorg from the hoary sources.list, then the package you need to update is x-window-system-core | 11:56 |
| thoreauputic | tigmore: probably more a question for the gaim developers? | 11:56 |
| Keybuk | it's not a powernowd issue then, it's the kernel that thinks you just have a flip/flop processor | 11:56 |
| jdub | Riddell: what's the global location for that default? | 11:56 |
| Matt| | eclipse, yes i'm running hoary | 11:56 |
| Matt| | Be BaCk LaTeR | 11:56 |
| eclipse | ok | 11:56 |
| eclipse | so apt-get x-window-system-core will update my xfree86 to x.org? | 11:57 |
| Gwildor | jeez, in 35 mins ill have hoary | 11:57 |
| Kirsch | Keybuk: P4M | 11:57 |
| Keybuk | Kirsch: P4-M and not P-M ? that *might* only be able to do the two frequencies, then | 11:57 |
| tigmore | im very dissapointed in this link | 11:58 |
| Kirsch | yea, it's the P4-M, not the P-M | 11:58 |
| Keybuk | eclipse: it'll just install xserver-xorg ... it won't upgrade any already installed xfree86 libraries to xorg | 11:58 |
| eclipse | Keybuk, so how do i install xfree86 libraries to x.org? | 11:59 |
| Riddell | jdub: not sure if there is one, it's set in kdelibs/kdefx/kstyle.cpp (and it's set to plastik by default in KDE 3.4) | 11:59 |
| camden | what are the benifits of upgrading to xorg? | 11:59 |
