| {Fah-Q} | Hikaru79: at the lilo or grub prompt you can specify "kernel-image single" and it'll boot into single user mode | 12:25 |
| BeanDip | Hikaru79, edit /etc/inittab | 12:25 |
| Hikaru79 | {Fah-Q}, single user mode = command prompt? | 12:25 |

| Hikaru79 | Sweet, thanks =) | 12:26 |
| HrdwrBoB | Hikaru79: Hikaru79 just chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm | 12:26 |
| BeanDip | {Fah-Q}, inittab controls the default runlevel | 12:26 |
| HrdwrBoB | or rm /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm | 12:26 |
| {Fah-Q} | BeanDip: so what? you can specify the run level at the lilo prompt. | 12:27 |
| Majestic|Linux | Ubuntu uses debian reps? | 12:27 |
| zenwhen | any ubuntu devs around? | 12:27 |
| {Fah-Q} | Hikaru79: you just want to boot into single user mode to change some settings, right? The next time you boot *dm will start as usual unlesss you remove it from the run level | 12:27 |
| === Swifty_ [~marius@82.164.184.137] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Lathiat | {Fah-Q}: No,he asked how to change the runlevels so GDM wasn't started, not for once-off | 12:28 |
| Lathiat | poor guys probably all confused now :) | 12:28 |
| {Fah-Q} | Lathiat: I wasn't here for that. :) Once you're in single user mode you can just remove the S99xdm script from /etc/rcX.d | 12:28 |
| Lathiat | {Fah-Q}: dont even need to be in single user mode for that :) | 12:29 |
| Lathiat | but that would be a good solution | 12:29 |
| BeanDip | Hikaru79, edit /etc/inittab, choose the default runnlevel you want, and open the corresponding dir /etc/rc(runlevelnumber).d/ and remove any scripts you don't want run in that runlevel (ie. gdm) | 12:29 |
| Lathiat | won't hold on upgrade, however | 12:29 |
| Hikaru79 | Lathiat, I only need to go single-user mode a few times right now | 12:29 |
| Hikaru79 | Not overall | 12:29 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: Oh, you should have said that | 12:29 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: not what you said ;0 | 12:29 |
| Lathiat | :) | 12:29 |
| Hikaru79 | =( Sorry | 12:29 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: in that case, when your computer is starting up | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: grub has a 3 second count down, hit escape | 12:30 |
| BeanDip | in the /etc/inittab you can lso set which vertual terms open in which runlevels, set a getty on a serial port, do all sorts of fun shit | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: and choose the recovery mode kernel | 12:30 |
| Hikaru79 | Is that the same thing? | 12:30 |
| Hikaru79 | recovery mode is the same thing as regular but without the gdm? | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: That boots you into a root console in single-user-mode | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: mostly | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: doesnt start everything | 12:30 |
| Hikaru79 | I see | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | how about this question | 12:31 |
| Lathiat | what are you trying to do? | 12:31 |
| {Fah-Q} | BeanDip: the trouble with changing the run level is that you then need to verify that all the other services that you want to start, will start | 12:31 |
| {Fah-Q} | other than that, yeah. you're right | 12:31 |
| Hikaru79 | Then why not just choose "Failsafe Terminal" from the Session tab when Ubuntu asks you to log in? | 12:31 |
| scoon | WOW. I LOVE APT. I LOVE APT. | 12:31 |
| Hikaru79 | We all do, scoon =) | 12:31 |
| scoon | I JUST WANT TO YELL AT THE WORLD THAT APT IS GREAT. AND UBUNTU KICKS. | 12:31 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: Thats something different | 12:31 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: altho you can probably get a similar effect from it, depending on what your trying to do | 12:31 |
| scoon | well i just get firefox-1.0 in by setting up my own trivial repository. | 12:31 |
| {Fah-Q} | Hikaru79: you know you can still get to the console even if X is running, rigt? | 12:32 |
| EdwardOG | mmm... emerge and portage | 12:32 |
| EdwardOG | Imean... | 12:32 |
| Lathiat | scoon: heh, keep in mind firefox-1.0 isnt in ubuntu for a reason (buggy) | 12:32 |
| scoon | so i can have the wonderful stability of ubuntu, but new stuff | 12:32 |
| Despair | Lathiat: 1.0RC is in hoary... | 12:32 |
| scoon | Lathiat: i used it w/ gentoo and it was fine for me. | 12:33 |
| {Fah-Q} | what version of firefox is un ubuntu? | 12:33 |
| Hikaru79 | {Fah-Q}, of course =) I just want to see how fast certain things (like webserver) will run if there's no X server hogging anything | 12:33 |

| Lathiat | Despair: yeh well their probably working on it for hoary, but specifically, it was withdrawn from warty | 12:33 |
| Lathiat | it did go in initially | 12:33 |
| Hikaru79 | If all works well, then I will remove GNOME altogether | 12:33 |
| jono | jdub: ping | 12:33 |
| Hikaru79 | (on that computer) | 12:33 |
| {Fah-Q} | Hikaru79: if X is just running, about the only thing its hogging is some ram. So unless you're swapping, I dont nkow that it'll matter | 12:33 |
| {Fah-Q} | Hikaru79: and you could always top xdm via "/etc/init.d/xdm stop" after the system boots | 12:34 |
| scoon | well anyway. it is VERY easy to set up a local repository and then get the deb's from debian | 12:34 |
| Lathiat | scoon: indeed | 12:34 |
| Hikaru79 | Won't it slow down things like PHP parsing if I have X running? | 12:34 |
| {Fah-Q} | s/top/stop/ | 12:34 |
| Hikaru79 | Oh, really? | 12:34 |
| Hikaru79 | :D Awesome | 12:34 |
| Lathiat | scoon: its also possible to add debian source repos, and make it only get firefox from that repo, but thats a different story :) | 12:34 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: Not really, yes | 12:34 |
| {Fah-Q} | Hikaru79: not unles there's contention for the CPU | 12:34 |
| HrdwrBoB | Hikaru79: it will make SFA difference | 12:34 |
| Hikaru79 | SFA? | 12:35 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: if you run /etc/init.d/gdm stop it will close it down | 12:35 |
| HrdwrBoB | Sweet F all | 12:35 |
| Hikaru79 | Thanks, lathiat :) | 12:35 |
| scoon | Lathiat: i bet. but this was the first thing i wanted to do. | 12:35 |
| Hikaru79 | Hah | 12:35 |
| johnnybezak | Lathiat: thanks, i'm using flux so i need to know there names :P | 12:35 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: but honestly, it wont make much of a difference :) | 12:35 |
| johnnybezak | hmm its not working where are logs for this sort of thing kept? | 12:35 |
| Lathiat | scoon: its called package pinning | 12:35 |
| johnnybezak | would some one be able to have a quick glance at my interfaces, to make sure theres not something dumb that i'm missing? | 12:35 |
| scoon | Lathiat: thanks . | 12:35 |
| Lathiat | scoon: similar to you can in debian use testing | 12:35 |
| Lathiat | but add unstable sources | 12:35 |
| Lathiat | pin all packages to testing | 12:36 |
| johnnybezak | hey guys, for some reason my ppp0 and eth0 are fighting it out for being default (im not sure the right terminology) network interfaces, if i configure the ethernet, it breaks my internet, so i have to type "route del default" "route add default ppp0" can anyone help? | 12:36 |
| Lathiat | and then use apt-get -t unstable to grab a couple things for thing sfrom unstable | 12:36 |
| Lathiat | very usefull :) | 12:36 |
| Hikaru79 | Lathiat, if webserver is the only thing I'm using the comp for, it doesn't hurt either, right? ;) | 12:36 |
| {Fah-Q} | johnnybezak: stop setting eth0 as a default interface then | 12:36 |
| {Fah-Q} | :) | 12:36 |
| housetier | very dangerous too | 12:36 |
| Lathiat | johnnybezak: edit your network interface, remove the gateway | 12:36 |
| scoon | Lathiat: i wouldn't suppose that you would want to share a resource or 2 ? | 12:36 |
| Lathiat | Hikaru79: oh in that case yeh turn it off | 12:37 |
| {Fah-Q} | just set an address and netmask | 12:37 |
| {Fah-Q} | dont specify a gateway. | 12:37 |
| housetier | mixing versions is a pita, even with pinning | 12:37 |
| Lathiat | scoon: yeh, www.google.com :> | 12:37 |
| Lathiat | housetier: it is | 12:37 |
| Lathiat | housetier: depends what your doing | 12:37 |
| {Fah-Q} | Or add the appropriate commands to your ppp post connect script | 12:37 |
| scoon | Lathiat: thanks for the tip, master of the obvious. | 12:37 |
| johnnybezak | {Fah-Q}: the problem is that then eth0 doesnt work :( | 12:37 |
| johnnybezak | Lathiat: ok i did that | 12:38 |
| Lathiat | scoon: *grin* sorry -- man apt_preferences i think | 12:38 |
| {Fah-Q} | johnnybezak: you just need to add a route for the network, not a default gateway route | 12:38 |
| johnnybezak | {Fah-q}: how hehe? | 12:38 |
| {Fah-Q} | unless you're not adding private ip addresses | 12:38 |
| scoon | Lathiat: that's cool. | 12:38 |
| {Fah-Q} | that could cause issues too | 12:38 |
| scoon | later all. | 12:38 |
| Lathiat | scoon: l8r | 12:39 |
| johnnybezak | {Fah-q}: sorry man i dont understand what youre saying :P | 12:39 |
| Lathiat | johnnybezak: In your network setup for eth0 | 12:39 |
| Lathiat | johnnybezak: what is the address and what is the netmask you have set | 12:39 |
| Lathiat | or is it set to automatically configure? | 12:39 |
| johnnybezak | can i post my interfaces to #flood? | 12:39 |
| {Fah-Q} | you just need a netmask and ip, not a gateway set in the eth0 stanza | 12:39 |
| Lathiat | johnnybezak: no thats not going to help anything | 12:40 |
| johnnybezak | ok so what do you want me to look for | 12:40 |
| Lathiat | johnnybezak: you can paste your /etc/network/interfaces to me in private, that would be usefull | 12:40 |
| {Fah-Q} | blah. these backups are going to take foreever | 12:40 |
| {Fah-Q} | I probably wont be installing ubuntu tonight. :/ | 12:41 |

| Lathiat | billytwowilly: Your problem si you haven't got ubuntu-desktop installed | 01:03 |
| Lathiat | billytwowilly: because youve installed totem-xine or something | 01:03 |

| Gamble1 | should I delete and recreate it? | 01:24 |
| Xenguy | This is a 2nd try at this question... | 01:25 |
| Xenguy | I'm trying to improve the screen resolution (it is currently defaulted | 01:25 |
| Xenguy | to 61Hz - blechh), so I've edited /etc/X11/XFConfig-4 and increased the values for Horizonta | 01:25 |
| Xenguy | l and Vertical refresh rate (I tried to adjust the 'Screen Resolution' via the GNOME GUI too | 01:25 |
| Gamble1 | The wireless connection I created is active for my wired LAN connection | 01:25 |
| Xenguy | l, but it had only 1 value -- 61 -- and would not allow me to change anything). Is the appr | 01:25 |
| Xenguy | oach I'm taking correct? | 01:25 |
| bob2 | Xenguy: your line-wrapping sucks | 01:25 |
| Xenguy | bob2: sure does (from less) | 01:25 |
| bob2 | Xenguy: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, might be easier, if you know what your monitor supports | 01:26 |
| bob2 | bah, the new wiki front page sucks | 01:26 |
| HrdwrBoB | Xenguy: computer->system preferences-> screen resolution | 01:26 |
| HrdwrBoB | Xenguy: this also allows you to change refresh | 01:27 |
| Xenguy | bob2: I know the vertical and horizontal refresh, so that's no problem -- but will it achieve a higher MHz than 61 ? | 01:27 |
| bob2 | Xenguy: you've found a buf, too, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XautoconfigurationDebug :-) | 01:27 |
| HrdwrBoB | you should not need to set your refresh rates | 01:27 |
| HrdwrBoB | in the config | 01:27 |
| bob2 | Xenguy: the value you care about is the v refresh rate, which is in Hz | 01:27 |
| bob2 | 61HZ is shit, tho, I'd hope your monitor supports more :-) | 01:27 |
| shaya | is it possible to upgrade from debian unstable to warty or hoary? | 01:28 |
| Xenguy | HrdwrBoB: I'll see if the situation has changed after editing the file, but originally GNOME said 61 and wouldn't allow me to change it | 01:28 |
| HrdwrBoB | ah ok | 01:28 |
| Xenguy | bob2: OK | 01:28 |
| bob2 | shaya: yes, but it's not supported | 01:28 |
| Gamble1 | ok, why is my eth1 connection, which I configured as wireless, actually working as my wired connection? | 01:28 |
| bob2 | Gamble1: eth1 and eth0 can swap depending on the module loading order | 01:29 |
| shaya | bob2: what does "supported" mean? i.e. it's not like canonical is going to walk me through something :) | 01:29 |

| Gamble1 | bob2, ok what do I need to do to get the wireless to work? | 01:29 |
| bob2 | shaya: well, if it breaks, don't file bugs unless you're sure they're not related | 01:29 |
| bob2 | Gamble1: ? why does the interface order affect that? | 01:30 |
| bob2 | Gamble1: have you setup /etc/network/interfaces? | 01:30 |
| Gamble1 | no idea | 01:30 |
| Gamble1 | I set it up in the GUI | 01:31 |

| thrift | ok, so we know that you've got an actuall card configuration issue if mpg123 won't play, have you tried running alsamixer to make sure you're volume is up? | 02:06 |

| bob2 | JDahl: configure the kernel normally, then "make-kpkg kernel_image kernel_headers" | 02:06 |
| bob2 | JDahl: then .debs apear in ../ | 02:07 |
| foursti | anyone have a 9700+ card working right? | 02:07 |
| johnnybezak | is there a wysiwyg html editor like NVU available for ubuntu? | 02:07 |
| rublind | thrift: all of the volume things go up except for one of the EMU10K1 PCM Send (using the volume control of gnome's gui version), that one causes the gnome thing to crash. | 02:07 |
| epod | johnnybezak: gedit? | 02:07 |
| {Fah-Q} | nvu? | 02:07 |
| Tyche | Looking for information on getting to the admin console for webadmin. I just installed it, and not sure if there is more that I have to do. | 02:07 |
| bob2 | johnnybezak: mozilla composer | 02:07 |
| bob2 | johnnybezak: you can install nvu yourself if you want | 02:07 |
| bob2 | foursti: it wasn't detected and setup automatically? | 02:07 |
| thrift | rublind : you might want to check with alsamixer from the command line, i've had it pick up channels aumix wouldn't see before | 02:08 |
| rublind | Okay, I'm doing that now. | 02:08 |
| johnnybezak | bob2: ok ill give it a go | 02:08 |
| foursti | bob2, it always WORKS but 3d rendering never works | 02:08 |
| foursti | bob2, i got it to work on debian and SUSE b4 | 02:08 |
| JDahl | bob2, I follow you this far.. my hardrive boots from /dev/hdax... I want to install the kernel on another ubuntu intallation on /dev/sdax - I dont know how to do that | 02:08 |
| johnnybezak | epod: gedit's not like nvu hehe :) | 02:08 |
| rublind | Everything is 100 | 02:08 |
| foursti | bob2, but whenever i try in ubuntu it tells me im using a 9500 generic when im using a 9700pro | 02:08 |
| bob2 | foursti: ok | 02:09 |
| foursti | bob2, :( | 02:09 |
| bob2 | johnnybezak: you build the kernel, copy the .deb to the other system and install it | 02:09 |
| bob2 | foursti: ask on the user list or something | 02:09 |
| foursti | bob2, i so want to use ubuntu but ati is hell man, hell! | 02:09 |
| rublind | bob2 is mad popular. | 02:09 |
| bob2 | I know nothing of silly binary drivers | 02:09 |
| rublind | Where is thrift? >_> | 02:09 |
| epod | fglrx! | 02:09 |
| thrift | rublind: here | 02:09 |
| bob2 | JDahl: : you build the kernel, copy the .deb to the other system and install it | 02:09 |
| epod | actually | 02:09 |
| rublind | Oh, okay. | 02:09 |
| foursti | fglrx must die | 02:09 |
| JDahl | bob2, but I cannot boot the other system (root access is broken) | 02:09 |
| rublind | thrift: everything is at 100, except for stuff that can't be at anything (if that made sense) | 02:10 |
| bob2 | JDahl: sure you can | 02:10 |
| epod | foursti: runs like crap for 3d for me. I had bzflag being chopping. In win32 I get 3000+ 3dmarks... *sigh* | 02:10 |
| johnnybezak | bob2: sorry>? | 02:10 |
| bob2 | JDahl: boot to grub, edit the command line, append "init=/bin/bash" | 02:10 |
| Phr0stByte | ANyone gotten a Wacom USB devise to work yet? | 02:10 |
| bob2 | johnnybezak: not for you | 02:10 |
| thrift | rublind: You're getting just white noise when you try to play though, nothing else? | 02:10 |
| foursti | epod, what card do u have? | 02:10 |
| johnnybezak | bob2: haha didnt think so :) | 02:10 |
| rublind | thrift: right | 02:10 |
| thrift | rublind: this is silly, but are you sure the card is actually hooked to the right out line, like you do know the card works and everything right? | 02:11 |
| foursti | epod, damn ati needs to get their act togeather im already pushing my head way into NVIDIA. | 02:11 |
| epod | foursti: Mobility Radeon 9600 | 02:11 |
| rublind | thrift: On windows, it works fine, on linux, it doesn't. | 02:11 |
| JDahl | bob2, thanks.. I will try that | 02:11 |
| epod | foursti: if this wasn't a notebook, I'd have a new card. | 02:11 |
| Despair | sblive has some "mixer" information that isn't supposed to be modified unless you understand what it does. routing controls and whatnot. might do better to use alsamixer rather than gnome's mixer program. | 02:11 |
| thrift | rublind: run dmesg and look for errors then i guess, I really don't know. anyone else got any ideas? | 02:11 |
| foursti | epod, yea well my 9700 pro SE cost me 350+ bak when | 02:11 |
| foursti | epod, still ~280 now | 02:12 |
| rublind | thrift: I did dmesg | grep 'error' and I don't think anything there is related to sound. | 02:12 |
| epod | foursti: I am planning to build a new desktop, I'm thinking Nvidia :) | 02:13 |
| rublind | thrift: I think my internal speaker is trying to handle the sound, because when someone in another channel (on xchat) says 'rublind' it dings, but other than that, I get no sound | 02:13 |
| foursti | epod, u better be thinking nvida | 02:13 |
| thrift | rublind: dmesg | grep -i emu10k1 might be better or dmesg | more. rublind, pc speaker is handled by a different driver entirely | 02:13 |
| epod | I want PCI-Express though, but I don't know if Linux supports that yet. | 02:13 |
| foursti | epod, ati isnt worth the hair pulling pain | 02:13 |
| rublind | thrift: oh, okay, hold on | 02:13 |
| HrdwrBoB | if you have an ati card | 02:14 |
| HrdwrBoB | ... just wait | 02:14 |

| rahulsundaram | eclipse: set it to not start on bootup. check the docs | 02:41 |
| HrdwrBoB | wulfy: yeah it's being worked on more for haory | 02:41 |
| eclipse | HrdwrBoB: does ur machine lock up after using for a few hours? | 02:41 |
| HrdwrBoB | well it hasn't for the last 5 days | 02:41 |
| HrdwrBoB | I hope it's not about to start :) | 02:42 |
| eclipse | rahulsundaram, can u tell me how or the command? | 02:42 |
| HrdwrBoB | how does it 'lock up' | 02:42 |
| wulfy | HrdwrBob: so how do I disble the network interfaces on boot - and just enable when I need ? | 02:42 |
| HrdwrBoB | wulfy: you can do it in the network-admin tool | 02:42 |
| HrdwrBoB | or you can edit /etc/network/interfaces by hand | 02:42 |
| eclipse | HrdwrBoB: everything is frozen and i can't even use ctrl-alt-f1 to get out | 02:42 |
| eclipse | the mouse, programs,...everything | 02:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | eclipse: does the machine still respond to ping/ssh etc? | 02:43 |
| eclipse | everything is locked up | 02:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | likely that is either a hardware issue, or a video driver issue | 02:44 |
| eclipse | that's y i was thinking of install the new ISO | 02:44 |
| thoreauputic | eclipse: do you have another machine you can ssh in with? | 02:44 |
| === robertj_afk is now known as robertj | ||
| HrdwrBoB | if it's a video driver issue, the machine may respond to ssh still | 02:44 |
| HrdwrBoB | and that can help troubleshoot | 02:44 |
| foursti | is there a tool like Macromedia Dreamweaver for linux? | 02:44 |
| HrdwrBoB | if it's a hardware problem, it's a lot harder | 02:44 |
| eclipse | HrdwrBoB: so u don't have that problem? | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | foursti: apparently bluefish (iirc) is an ok html editor | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | no | 02:45 |
| foursti | HrdwrBoB, but that isnt actually designing | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | I haven't heard of anyone else encountering it either | 02:45 |
| nomasteryoda | foursti, nVu works | 02:45 |
| foursti | HrdwrBoB, its just an editor | 02:45 |
| thoreauputic | if so you could ssh in and run top or ps aux and see what's causing the freeze (probably X ) | 02:45 |
| foursti | nomasteryoda, k ill look into it | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | foursti: there is nvu you can download or mozilla composer | 02:45 |
| nomasteryoda | foursti: and it is wysiwyg | 02:45 |
| HrdwrBoB | check it out anyway | 02:45 |
| eclipse | HrdwrBoB: i also have another problem with hoary...the Desktop window doesn't refresh that often | 02:46 |

| JDahl | eclipse, what machine and distro are you running? My IBM t40p would also freeze completely after a few hours when I used a recent debian/unstable - the CAPSLOCK key wasnt even responding.

| epod | Ok, my current major Ubuntu issue is, due to my soundcardc being a POS, it works in ALSA, but the main volume thinks it is the headphone volume. So fine, I set the audio control on the panel to control my headphone volume. But if I set my audio keys on the front of my notebook to raise/lower volume in the gnome config, it tries to do it to the master volume control, which has no effect due to ALSA weirdness. Is there some way to reassign | 04:01 |

| Despair | epod: you might try a more recent alsa, there's been a lot of bugfixes since 1.0.5 | 04:02 |
| epod | hm that sucks. Yeah. It's a specific issue with my notebook model (M675XL) and the only reason audio works (well, doesn't only come out the headphone jack) is that some guy sent ALSA a patch reassigning Headphone out to the internal speakers AND the headphone jack, so they both go at one.. It's a sigmatel card that can reassign output on the fly in software.. it's weird. | 04:03 |

| wasabi | crack, you can add it to the fstab file and mount it. | 05:03 |
| wasabi | Read only though. | 05:03 |
| magik | whenever i try to use apt-get, it gives an error saying something about "ttf-opensymbol" - how can i fix this? | 05:03 |
| crack | how do i do that in x? | 05:03 |
| Agrajag | huh | 05:03 |
| wasabi | crack, pop open a console, and edit /etc/fstab as root. | 05:03 |
| Agrajag | X has nothing to do with it | 05:03 |
| Agrajag | yeah | 05:03 |
| wasabi | crack, and type "man fstab" to read about the file. It's fairly simple. | 05:03 |
| jdz` | crack: try just `mount'ing it first. :) | 05:04 |
| Agrajag | type is ntfs, options you should use are ro,users | 05:04 |
| Agrajag | or maybe users, i forget | 05:04 |

| crack | ah | 05:05 |
| crack | sud | 05:05 |

| magik | it just says "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" | 05:07 |

| wasabi | usually involving a reason. | 05:07 |

| wasabi | ewww. | 05:07 |

| crack | im in | 05:08 |
| Agrajag | have you run a memory test? | 05:08 |

| wasabi | i doubt it's memory. | 05:08 |

| magik | sure, hold on a sec | 05:08 |
| George^Deka | crackL read https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions | 05:09 |
| Agrajag | it's the partition device, followed by fs type, options, mount order, and the dump bit | 05:09 |

| bob2 | wasabi: why do you doubt it's memory? | 05:10 |
| wasabi | bob2, because it would be more random. | 05:10 |
| _scp | is there an equivalent of packages.debian.org for ubuntu yet? | 05:10 |
| bob2 | wasabi: you're basing that on one report by him? | 05:10 |
| bob2 | _scp: no | 05:10 |
| bob2 | /her | 05:10 |
| wasabi | bob2, no, im asking for the entire message. | 05:10 |
| Agrajag | so you need to tell it what partition it is, use "ntfs" as fs type, options should be ro and maybe some others, you can read the mount man page yourself to see the options, and dump should prbably be 0 and pass should be 2. | 05:11 |
| _scp | bob2: I have seen a recommendation for something like it on the wiki, is it being considered? | 05:11 |
| bob2 | _scp: yes | 05:11 |
| bob2 | it would be handy to have | 05:11 |
| _scp | bob2: Ok, thanks, and I agree | 05:11 |
| _scp | bob2: any ideas on coping with not having it? I am a somewhat new debian user (not new to linux, just to debian) that has only used that to search for packages | 05:13 |
| bob2 | _scp: "apt-cache search blah" searches the package description database on your system | 05:13 |
| bob2 | _scp: apt-cache show blah, shows the description for blah | 05:13 |
| bob2 | _scp: apt-file lets you search for files in packages | 05:14 |

| new2linux | question for you it says allow them to connect to new2linux.example.com do i just open the host file and put in my ip in there? | 07:08 |

| new2linux | well thats why i'm wondering if i can vnc to linux from a windows machine | 07:59 |
| new2linux | let me try again | 07:59 |
| Agrajag | of course you can | 07:59 |
| Agrajag | vnc is platform-agnostic | 07:59 |
| opi | same goes for HTTP, POP3 or any standard protocol | 07:59 |
| new2linux | thats what i thought i'm sure i can but the question i hve is how :) | 08:00 |
| new2linux | something is either blocking it or something | 08:00 |
| opi | new2linux: for Windows server/client I have used http://realvnc.com | 08:00 |
| new2linux | ok let me try that | 08:00 |

| bigtony_ | i logged out of gnome and back in | 08:39 |
| bigtony_ | the vnc will not connect | 08:39 |
| Treenaks | bigtony_: well, then you can connect, if you configured it right | 08:39 |
| bigtony_ | i'ms ure if i configured it right thats the whole point :) | 08:39 |

| wfx | this packae is to install the main desktop, and i think you dont need it later :-) | 11:17 |
| topyli | ubuntu-desktop depends on all the default desktop packages. you can remove it | 11:17 |

| the_one | anybody? | 01:56 |
| Treenaks | the_one: what's the error message | 01:56 |
| opi | the_one: maybe something is using it atm? | 01:56 |
| the_one | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, | 01:56 |
| the_one | or too many mounted file systems | 01:56 |
| Treenaks | /dev/sda? is there another entry for /mnt/STORAGE in fstab? | 01:57 |
| opi | there is no partition there, or FS is bad | 01:57 |
| the_one | oh, sorry...I meant.. | 01:57 |
| the_one | /dev/sda /media/CASIO ntfs ro,user,auto 0 0 | 01:57 |
| opi | no partition? | 01:57 |
| opi | cfdisk /dev/sda | 01:57 |
| Treenaks | the_one: you probably need /dev/sda1 (or sda2, or sda3, etc.) | 01:57 |
| the_one | it's a digital camera acting as storage | 01:58 |
| Treenaks | the_one: sure that it isn't FAT? most cams have FAT | 01:58 |
| the_one | wait...the digital cameras are formated in fat? | 01:58 |
| opi | still, you need number after device | 01:58 |
| opi | they are | 01:58 |
| the_one | ok, my mistake | 01:58 |

| Treenaks | the_one: (usb / firewire) ? | 01:58 |

| opi | dreamcatcher: as patches was not accpeted | 02:02 |

| the_one | what does umask=000 stand for? I looked for an explanation of fstab on google, but there was nothing on it | 02:02 |
| dreamcatcher | no big news for older hardware then? | 02:02 |

| opi | Treenaks: you afraid of +x? | 02:03 |
| the_one | treenaks:thanks | 02:03 |
| Treenaks | opi: not afraid of +x, but afraid of multi-user systems.. never let other people write to your files | 02:05 |
| opi | Treenaks: it's my own box | 02:05 |
| opi | Treenaks: I wouldn't do it, if I was to share it, trust me :) | 02:05 |
| Treenaks | opi: other people might not know :) | 02:06 |
| opi | well, ok | 02:06 |
| opi | sorry for confusing people then | 02:07 |
| opi | use 022 :) | 02:07 |
| the_one | what is the correct setting for the fat filesystem, vfat or msdos? | 02:07 |

| seb128 | It is safe to remove this package if some of the desktop system packages are | 03:05 |
| seb128 | not desired. | 03:05 |
| ondrej | it seems that program tries connect to "/tmp/fam-ondrej-" (ECONNREFUSED) then tries to open /usr/lib/gamin/gam_server (ENOENT) | 03:07 |
| seb128 | apt-get install gamin | 03:08 |
| ondrej | seb128: E: Package gamin has no installation candidate | 03:08 |
| seb128 | which distribution are you using ? | 03:08 |
| ondrej | warty | 03:09 |
| Kamion | sounds like you must have pieces from hoary | 03:09 |
| ondrej | (but I upgraded to hoary and then downgraded to warty again) | 03:09 |
| ondrej | using apt/preferences | 03:09 |
| seb128 | ok, so you upgraded gnome-vfs/nautilus to a new version that's built with libgamin0 apparently | 03:09 |
| Kamion | sounds like an incomplete downgrade then :-) | 03:09 |
| zenwhen | hey Kamion | 03:10 |
| Kamion | zenwhen: hi, I looked for you when I appeared this morning but you weren't around | 03:10 |
| Kamion | what did you need? | 03:10 |
| ondrej | Kamion: 'Package: * Pin: release a=warty Pin-Priority: 1001' should do it's job... I think | 03:11 |
| Kamion | ondrej: I've never trusted /etc/apt/preferences particularly, since I don't understand it | 03:11 |
| pdamoc | I've upgraded my Warty to Hoary and I keep getting locales errors... how do I fix that? | 03:11 |

| Kamion | plus your downgrade tactic won't remove "obsolete" (a.k.a. new in hoary) packages | 03:13 |

| aaroncuk | i dont want to overwrite my current install , just got it working lol | 05:11 |
| Tyche | boldii: Oh yea! | 05:11 |
| GFXstyLER | only a question: does it slow down the system in general if the ati drivers arent installed? because the 3d acceleration isnt working | 05:11 |
| ironwolf | aaroncuk: try saving your config files. If you overwrite them in the apt-get install, then restore them. | 05:12 |
| boldii | I even like gnome even though I never thought I would as a 4 year kde user ;) | 05:12 |
| boldii | a bit different but nice ... | 05:12 |
| aaroncuk | ok ironwolf.. will do that now | 05:12 |
| ironwolf | aaroncuk: think of it this way, if apt-get blows up, you already know how to fix it, but if apt-get works, you have a much easier time next time. | 05:13 |

| scoon | boldii: yes | 05:16 |

| === sid77 is now known as sid77_starvoyage | ||
| scoon | boldii: not a problem with cdburners but a tightening of device perms | 05:17 |

| === defendguin [~supertux@adsl-6-68-204.msy.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| ironwolf | boldi: not very familiar with gentoo. With ubuntu, universe seems a safe bet. Multiverse... is more fun, but less safe. | 05:17 |
| ironwolf | aaroncuk: apt-get update ; apt-get install mpd | 05:17 |
| scoon | boldii: well, i too switched from gentoo, and the way I do it is the same way i did it in gentoo. | 05:17 |
| boldii | ironwolf, well, at the end gentoo broke my glibc, and thats why I am here ;) | 05:17 |
| azeem | what's the difference in multiverse vs. universe WRT stability? | 05:18 |
| boldii | scoon, get them from kernel.org ? | 05:18 |
| scoon | boldii: go to kernel.org and get a vanilla one, and then if you want to beat the new cd perms, get a patchset (i use -ck) | 05:18 |
| azeem | I thought the difference is just about freeness? | 05:18 |
| ironwolf | azeem: ANYTHING GOES in multiverse. | 05:18 |
| azeem | ironwolf: eh? | 05:18 |
| scoon | boldii: http://www.kernel.org | 05:18 |
| azeem | only non-free stuff I thought | 05:18 |

| boldii | scoon, ok, but isn t there a way to get it via apt-get? btw where is the grub.conf file? | 05:19 |
| ironwolf | azeem: I know that warty is considered stable and hoary is considered in development. | 05:20 |
| scoon | boldii: yes, i guess so, but i like using the -ck patches and I already had a .config for my kernel. | 05:20 |
| scoon | boldii: /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:20 |
| GFXstyLER | how can i activate sharing of files in a network in ubuntu? i have to transfer data from my pc -> notebook but i dont know how | 05:20 |
| Kamion | ironwolf: universe and multiverse carry about the same stability guarantees (i.e. none) | 05:20 |
| rasher | GFXstyLER: maybe ndiswrapper could work? | 05:21 |
| ironwolf | Kamion: good to know. | 05:21 |
| scoon | boldii: gentoo always wanted a symlink for that when installed. | 05:21 |
| Kamion | ironwolf: the difference between the two is entirely freeness | 05:21 |
| scoon | boldii: may I ask why you switched ? | 05:21 |
| GFXstyLER | yes i read that it works with that but you have to compile and such and im new to linux so i dont know how do to :D | 05:21 |
| azeem | Kamion: is multiverse aimed at potentially including all of Debian's non-free, or just specific packages? | 05:21 |
| azeem | (modulo usual universe rules) | 05:21 |
| boldii | scoon, because gentoo break my glibc after two years of gentoo, so I thought: time for something new, and now I am here after two years gentoo and four years kde ;) | 05:22 |
| rasher | GFXstyLER: I think the required bits are in ubuntu, just install ndiswrapper-utils and do ndiswrapper -i DRIVER.inf | 05:22 |
| Kamion | azeem: I *think* anything we can distribute, but I haven't paid a great deal of attention to it | 05:22 |
| scoon | boldii: interesting, me as well. i ran redhat since 1996 and then gentoo ~x86 for about 18 months. | 05:23 |
| GFXstyLER | ok thx rasher | 05:23 |
| Kamion | azeem: might well be just on-demand | 05:23 |
| scoon | boldii: so far i really like it. | 05:23 |
| scoon | boldii: of course i haven't even run this for a week. but it has been a very good few days. | 05:23 |
| boldii | scoon, and I have to say I like apt-get really a lot, especially that I musn t wait so long for updates (I used debian before gentoo for a year, but it was a quite hairy knoppix hd install) | 05:24 |
| boldii | scoon, I have it for a few hours now. | 05:24 |

| GFXstyLER | ok i installed the bcmwl5.inf driver with ndiswrapper now, and how can i use it for the wlan card now? please this is urgent :D | 05:48 |
| boldii | can I get the nonfree nvidia drivers with ubuntu via apt-get? | 05:48 |
| kent | boldii, yes. Read the information on the homepage. | 05:48 |
| cardador | kent: do you know when the new nvidia driver will be available? | 05:49 |
| rasher | GFXstyLER: it should magically show up in the network configuration thing when you try to add a new device.. I think | 05:49 |
| GFXstyLER | nope | 05:50 |
| rasher | hm | 05:50 |
| rasher | dunno, haven't actually used it myself | 05:50 |
| GFXstyLER | do i have to reboot? | 05:50 |
| kent | cardador, when the next Ubuntu is released? They cant change packages in a stable release, can they? well, bugfixes is one thing, but new versions is not possible, i think.. | 05:50 |
| boldii | thanks kent. | 05:50 |
| cardador | kent: i meant on hoary | 05:51 |

| scoon | boldii: it doesn't really matter tho. you just need to sudo make modules_install && sudo make install | 05:56 |

| FTTP | hi kent | 06:01 |
| ironwolf | kent: everybody's looking for different things. I'm glad you're enjoying warty. :) | 06:02 |
| FTTP | ironwolf: it looks good :) | 06:02 |
| FTTP | ironwolf: Warty has no config options in graphical tho for equipment and hardware | 06:02 |
| FTTP | like with stormix you had the storm administration system (which was also based on debian) | 06:03 |
| FTTP | i miss stormix, that had so much potential | 06:03 |
| FTTP | ubuntu reminds me alot of stormix | 06:03 |
| FTTP | but without the tools for hardware | 06:03 |
| azeem | hardware should just work[tm] | 06:03 |
| azeem | no need for configuration :) | 06:03 |
| FTTP | azeem: Yes it works fine........... | 06:04 |
| FTTP | azeem: On the livecd | 06:04 |
| FTTP | azeem: So in the old days of debian, it didnt autoconfig the hardware? | 06:04 |
| FTTP | azeem what happens if you get new hardware tho | 06:04 |
| azeem | back in '93? | 06:04 |
| azeem | no | 06:05 |
| FTTP | azeem during the days of stormix | 06:05 |
| FTTP | not back in 93 | 06:05 |
| azeem | no idea about stormix | 06:05 |
| FTTP | you remmeber stormix? | 06:05 |
| azeem | eh, I know the name | 06:05 |
| FTTP | it was debian based | 06:05 |
| FTTP | azeem: well even with fedora and suse for example | 06:05 |
| azeem | so | 06:05 |
| azeem | what's your problem specifically? | 06:06 |
| FTTP | azeem: no problem just some pointers | 06:06 |
| FTTP | azeem are you a ubuntu developer? | 06:06 |
| azeem | no | 06:06 |
| azeem | pointers to what? | 06:06 |
| FTTP | ok | 06:06 |
| boldii | >> You must install ncurses-devel in order to use 'make menuconfig' . but there is no ncurses-devel and no ncurses? | 06:06 |

| FTTP | azeem: Like there is no setting to change my monitor in ubuntu | 06:06 |
| azeem | damn | 06:06 |
| azeem | FTTP: you can change the resolution via the GNOME preferences | 06:07 |
| boldii | thanks. | 06:07 |
| FTTP | azeem: SUSE and Fedora have my monitor in a list | 06:07 |
| azeem | FTTP: why would you change your monitor to something else than it is? | 06:07 |
| kent | cardador, i Have used debian unstable before, and it works most of the time, but time to time it fucks up the system, and thats not fun. And its the same for every unstable system, be it fedora or ubuntu. Some people might like it, but most people should not. | 06:07 |
| FTTP | azeem: Right but......... what im saying is i should be able to choose monitor from a list ......... it doesnt configure my monitor right, since i can go to high refresh rates and different resolutions | 06:07 |
| Kamion | for most hardware we'd prefer to use the hotplug subsystem, which is zero-configuration | 06:07 |
| azeem | FTTP: that's a bug then | 06:07 |
| Kamion | 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' to fiddle monitor settings | 06:07 |
| FTTP | kamion are you a developer? | 06:08 |
| === mxpxpod is now known as mx|working | ||
| daniels | FTTP: the problem with monitor lists is that they tend to be woefully incomplete | 06:08 |
| azeem | FTTP: why do you need to talk to developers? The community should be able to help you | 06:08 |
| daniels | FTTP: especially as many people tend to take monitors and oem them, and strip them of all identifying information | 06:08 |
| daniels | FTTP: we weighed up both alternatives and going with autodetection has been the best so far | 06:08 |
| FTTP | azeem well i want people who are working on the os, i guess you all are community :) | 06:08 |
| cardador | kent: i use ubuntu hoary at work, no problems until now :) | 06:09 |
| FTTP | daniels yeah its very nice dont get me wrong | 06:09 |
| FTTP | daniels i like it ALOT | 06:09 |
| Kamion | FTTP: as it happens yes, but as azeem says I'd hope that's irrelevant | 06:09 |
| FTTP | heh | 06:09 |
| FTTP | it kinda is i guess | 06:09 |
| FTTP | lol | 06:09 |
| rasher | curiosity is powerful | 06:09 |
| FTTP | kamion: See i came from the distros which had the lists and its just what im used to | 06:10 |
| Kamion | FTTP: note that developers often have very specialised areas of expertise, so unless you know what those are up-front it's often just as good to direct your question to the channel in general | 06:10 |
| FTTP | even tho when u select the monitor, sometimes its wrong too | 06:10 |
| azeem | FTTP: well, change to the Ubuntu way! | 06:10 |
| Kamion | FTTP: my expertise doesn't include anything to do with monitors :-) | 06:10 |
| FTTP | kamion gotcha | 06:10 |

| FTTP | azeem: See alot of distros have their own software outside of gnome......... ubuntu uses gnome for everything | 06:18 |

| FTTP | azeem is that in gnome? | 06:20 |

| azeem | boldii: so? | 06:28 |
| deFrysk | xoxoxo, read the faq on the ubuntu page | 06:28 |
| kent | just edit /etc/passwd to get a normal root account. | 06:28 |
| GFXstyLER | sudo passwd root would activate the root account | 06:28 |
| xoxoxo | so there is NEVER root on ubuntu??? | 06:28 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: actually, you should configure your Debian system by using sudo as well | 06:28 |
| FTTP | gfx well always youve used yast with suse right? | 06:28 |
| xoxoxo | that is funny man | 06:28 |
| boldii | azeem, so anybody could open a root shell and do everything, as my user is the autologin user ... | 06:28 |
| GFXstyLER | yes i used yast | 06:28 |
| dataw0lf | ubuntu forcing you to use sudo is helping you learn good habits, bro. | 06:28 |
| GFXstyLER | but i think its a little slow | 06:29 |
| azeem | boldii: well, don't autologin then | 06:29 |
| xoxoxo | boldii, i think same | 06:29 |
| FTTP | gfx: ok well in ubuntu there is no yast equivalent or is there? | 06:29 |
| FTTP | gfx: Or does it just use whats built into gnome?? | 06:29 |
| deFrysk | yast2 sucks | 06:29 |
| Friczy | boldii: but sudo asks for your password isnt it? | 06:29 |
| deFrysk | big time | 06:29 |
| GFXstyLER | i guess not | 06:29 |
| azeem | boldii: but do not tell people who come here to throw away Ubuntu design principles without at least thinking twice, please | 06:29 |
| xoxoxo | so anybody sits at the console can do anything on my machine without knowing my root password, right ???? | 06:29 |

| Friczy | xoxoxo: no | 06:29 |
| boldii | azeem, sorry, didn t know that. I have figured out during install the sudo thing and hated it. ... | 06:29 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: they need to know *your* password | 06:29 |
| deFrysk | xoxoxo, ne he needs user passwd | 06:29 |

| GFXstyLER | yes | 06:30 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: xscreensaver | 06:30 |
| FTTP | gfx: not the same yast program | 06:30 |
| xoxoxo | then people can sit at my console and do anyting | 06:30 |
| rasher | xoxoxo: you still need to type your password for sudo | 06:30 |
| GFXstyLER | but i dont like suse or yast in general | 06:30 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: otherwise, they can compromise your SSH and gnupg keys | 06:30 |
| Kamion | boldii: create a different user for autologin, or else configure /etc/sudoers appropriately for your setup | 06:30 |
| xoxoxo | azeem, if this is way ubuntu works, you dont understand about security at all | 06:30 |
| FTTP | gfx: see with suse you have to go out of gnome and into yast...... everything should be done from gnome | 06:30 |
| rasher | xoxoxo: also, *don't* leave your computer open | 06:30 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: which isn't much better, no? | 06:30 |

| dataw0lf | xoxoxo: if you have a good password and physically secure your box, it shouldn't be a problem. | 06:31 |
| FTTP | gfx: Im just saying i wish those features were incorporated into gnome and built into the gui too not the same way | 06:31 |
| xoxoxo | i can sometime forget to logout | 06:31 |
| boldii | Kamion, well, I will continue doing it the "su root" way, but thanks. | 06:31 |
| dataw0lf | I use a 12 character password for my normal user. | 06:31 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: and why wouldn't you leave a root shell open? | 06:31 |
| xoxoxo | for one or 2 mins, anybody can fsck up my machine | 06:31 |
| GFXstyLER | maybe in the next gnome version | 06:31 |
| Friczy | xoxoxo: then edit your sudoers file | 06:31 |
| Kamion | xoxoxo: never leave your machine without logging out or locking your screen; local root compromises are typically much easier than remote access compromises | 06:31 |
| rasher | xoxoxo: the thing is, they *still* need your password to sudo things | 06:31 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: plus, sudo has a timeout | 06:32 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: people will be asked your password again when they try sudo | 06:32 |
| FTTP | it seems like there are so many linux distros and constant development on apps coming from all | 06:32 |
| FTTP | so if its a bug in debian or ubuntu it still gets fixed :) | 06:32 |
| xoxoxo | ok, rasher, you mean i must provide root password for sudo? which password? | 06:32 |
| FTTP | for both too | 06:32 |
| rasher | xoxoxo: your own password | 06:32 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: you must provide *your* password | 06:32 |
| xoxoxo | my system now is in default config | 06:32 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: everybody else as well | 06:32 |
| rasher | xoxoxo: do you even know how sudo works? | 06:32 |
| xoxoxo | ok, sudo passwd root? | 06:33 |
| rasher | Why???? | 06:33 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: that would be the way to re-enable the root account | 06:33 |
| GFXstyLER | what i dont get is why they say linux is only used 5% worldwide altough so many people use it | 06:33 |
| xoxoxo | then it asked the password. what to type in now? | 06:33 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: however, I suggest you try the sudo way for a while | 06:33 |
| Friczy | xoxoxo: for example: sudo bash | 06:33 |
| FTTP | gfx is it a bug when u do logoff it shuts down the computer? | 06:33 |
| Friczy | then system asks for your own password | 06:33 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: btw, Mac OS X works exactly the same | 06:33 |
| FTTP | or is that just on my machine | 06:33 |

| azeem | that's still a bug | 06:36 |
| FTTP | azeem so should i report it? | 06:36 |
| FTTP | lol | 06:36 |
| rasher | xoxoxo: changed the root password.. why did you do it? | 06:36 |
| xoxoxo | change root password? | 06:36 |
| azeem | just a minor one | 06:36 |
| azeem | FTTP: why not? Sounds reasonable to me | 06:36 |

| rasher | xoxoxo: you're not supposed to use the root account directly, only through sudo | 06:37 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: however, you are free to do whatever you want | 06:37 |
| Kamion | he's allowed to if he wants to | 06:37 |
| FTTP | azeem ill see if its there already | 06:37 |
| rasher | Of course | 06:37 |
| GFXstyLER | and why exactly shouldnt i use the root ? | 06:37 |
| azeem | GFXstyLER: you should only use your super-powers when you need them | 06:38 |
| GFXstyLER | noone except me is using this pc so that wouldnt be the point | 06:38 |
| azeem | having root shells open allude to using it for non-admin work | 06:38 |
| xoxoxo | hmm... so the default user can use sudo to run any privilege command? | 06:38 |
| rasher | This is all about a) best practices b) personal preference | 06:38 |
| xoxoxo | is that the default configuration? | 06:38 |
| Friczy | GFXstyLER: dont run any program as root if it is not necessary | 06:38 |
| rasher | xoxoxo: yes, after typing your password | 06:38 |
| azeem | xoxoxo: yes | 06:38 |
| GFXstyLER | i dont use them much but i would like to use root instead of sudo, because i learned it like that | 06:38 |
| Friczy | GFXstyLER: if your program has a remote exploitable hole, then all of your system can be rooted | 06:38 |
| xoxoxo | ok you genious guys. now how about ubuntu kernel? | 06:38 |
| FTTP | in windows xp dont u also have to put in an admin password? | 06:39 |
| azeem | GFXstyLER: you just use Linux for a week though, right? | 06:39 |
| Kamion | xoxoxo: if you want to see the patches we've applied, 'apt-get source linux-source-2.6.8.1' and look in debian/patches/ | 06:39 |
| GFXstyLER | i used it for a week now | 06:39 |
| FTTP | with su........ are u forced to put in an admin password? | 06:39 |
| FTTP | or is there no admin password on default install? | 06:39 |
| Kamion | su asks for the root password | 06:39 |
| Kamion | the root password is unset by default | 06:39 |
| GFXstyLER | but i will keep it ;) no need for windows anymore | 06:39 |
| xoxoxo | Kamion, i am getting it | 06:40 |
| FTTP | kamion: people really should add the root | 06:40 |
| Friczy | I consider changing my opsys from debian to ubuntu. which is better? to dist-upgrade (from sarge) or reinstall from scratch? | 06:40 |
| Kamion | FTTP: why? | 06:40 |
| Treenaks | FTTP: no, they should not | 06:40 |
| azeem | GFXstyLER: what I mean is that you should be easily able to change your habits still :) | 06:40 |
| FTTP | kamion: I remember back with corel linux this was a big debate they did it too | 06:40 |
| Treenaks | FTTP: read http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo | 06:40 |
| FTTP | thanks treenaks | 06:40 |
| Kamion | FTTP: we made this the default for a reason; people are certainly entitled to change it, but we think the default is appropriate | 06:40 |
| xoxoxo | anyway should i customize the source.list for better speed? i am in Japan now | 06:40 |
| azeem | FTTP: Lindows just had people *be Root* by default | 06:40 |
| azeem | FTTP: that's a huge difference | 06:40 |
| FTTP | azeem : thats worse :P | 06:40 |
| xoxoxo | should be better to use the "local" repository? | 06:40 |
| GFXstyLER | azeem yes youre right | 06:41 |
| Kamion | xoxoxo: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Archive | 06:41 |

| xoxoxo | great. 2 bad there is no japan mirror | 06:42 |
| FTTP | kamion having no default set to root could be a security risk tho | 06:42 |

| xoxoxo | Kamion, i got source package, but where is debian/patches? | 06:43 |
| FTTP | daniels what is the upside and downside then ? | 06:43 |
| cardador | GFXstyLER: only if your linux box is a internet server for windows boxes | 06:43 |
| GFXstyLER | nope it isnt | 06:43 |
| Kamion | xoxoxo: inside the directory that just got unpacked under your current directory | 06:43 |
| FTTP | daniels: im prolly confused as to the issues involved | 06:43 |
| xoxoxo | Kamion, no. there is no such directory | 06:43 |
| FTTP | i know your no windows........ | 06:44 |
| daniels | FTTP: upside -- sudo scales better than telling people a root password they're likely to forget anyway, it remembers stuff, it has an audit trail, it's more fine-grained, people don't do stuff like try to log in as root, you have to guess the account name *and* the password, not just the root password of 'superman' or whatever | 06:44 |
| Kamion | FTTP: we generally regard Windows to be a crawling security nightmare horror beast and especially avoid borrowing from it where anything to do with user privileges are concerned | 06:44 |
| Kamion | xoxoxo: it'll have unpacked a linux-source-2.6.8.1-2.6.8.1 directory | 06:44 |
| xoxoxo | Kamion, yes i saw that | 06:44 |
| daniels | FTTP: if we shipped with a wide-open root account, there'd be no point setting user passwords ;) | 06:44 |
| Kamion | xoxoxo: ... so look in there? | 06:44 |
| FTTP | kamion i agree with you | 06:44 |
| FTTP | daniels sounds fine....... if it works for mac os x then its a concept which works :) | 06:45 |
| xoxoxo | Kamion, mainly about driver patching? | 06:45 |
| FTTP | i guess ill fool around with it and see which of the 2 i like better :) | 06:45 |
| Kamion | xoxoxo: mostly, yeah, see debian/changelog too | 06:46 |
| FTTP | i never really used it but i remember people with corel linux were complaining their was no root account | 06:46 |
| xoxoxo | now should i get 2.6.9 from kernel.org, and compile myself? | 06:46 |

| FTTP | looks like ubuntu got loads of press | 07:30 |
| rasher | xoxoxo: using nautilus is one way | 07:30 |
| xoxoxo | does that work with 2.6? since i heard bad things about cdburner on 2.6 kernel | 07:30 |
| FTTP | i did a google news search for ubuntu, its all over | 07:30 |
| |0__0| | the problem with gentoo is that the only things you need to have optimized for your system are: 1) Kernel 2) libc 3) any high-end number-crunching apps | 07:30 |
| Friczy | can I get a list from somewhere about which packages are in which components? | 07:30 |
| |0__0| | debian/ubuntu provides 1 for sue | 07:30 |
| thrift | How about this: Is there even an audio cd burner in the default repositorys | 07:30 |
| |0__0| | and I think there's some mechanism for auto-detection of #2 | 07:30 |

| |0__0| | thrift: no, I'm saying that you don't get very good performance benefits except for from compiling the kernel, libc, and any scientific apps | 07:33 |
| |0__0| | thrift: recompiling gnome doesn't get you very much at all, since it's mostly I/O stuff | 07:33 |
| ogra | xoxo: night :) | 07:33 |
| |0__0| | Friczy: you can always grab the files from the sources | 07:33 |

| |0__0| | find the Packages file you want | 07:34 |
| thrift | |0__0| : I think that's arguable. A gentoo user would probably flip out with a million reasons his gnome is better due to that. I think that ubuntu does *feel* faster though, and that's all I care about there. Gentoo's main advantage though of portage was the huge amount of apps that were there, and especially the nonfree ones | 07:34 |

| shingokii | Yeah I wrecked one of my first linux installs using a file manager as root, not so much because I'm super-dumb as because the file manager was weird | 08:07 |

| will_ | what firewall would u reccomend for Ubuntu | 08:10 |
| thrift | I'm saying in general that it's easier type a command wrong as a user who doesn't understand the command that will do a large amount of damage, than it is for a user to use somethign they are familiar with as root. I think that's obvious, and you hurt new users by making them do things they don't understand and don't want to understand. In the perfect real world a user should never have to touch the command line, so it's just s | 08:10 |

| thrift | ogra: It's not in any of my repositories. Last time I had transet I installed from cvs *shrgs* under 24 hours | 08:16 |

| Treenaks | JB80: you can't sudo without a password. if you allow _only_ RSA logins to the server, you'll need an RSA key AND a password | 09:33 |
| JB80 | no usually crap code, maybe owned by a user with too many priviledges? do you run a web site as the root user? | 09:33 |
