HrdwrBoBFTTP: it's trivial to install, and you don't need windows apps for the most part01:45
HrdwrBoBchazwurth: what is the problem01:45
chazwurthI'm trying to install using the default (non-expert) mode, and I'm getting errors during the partitioning step01:46

KneelBeforeXorgI was just looking for that01:46
rebirthdid apt-get install oidentd, forwarded the ports, but it isn't working :| - still get the ~ - ports are open01:46

chazwurthwhen I select 'manually edit partition table' in the partitioner, all the partitions are detected correctly, but it fails to actually do anything with them.01:50
ograrebirth: just curious01:50
rebirthogra, because i do, i don't like the ~ in irc, and it means i connect faster01:50

FTTPfor 1st release, its basically a debian with gnome and nice desktop/splashscreens06:13
thoreauputicGeorge^Deka: if you mean the command executed to start gnome, it's /usr/bin/gnome-session06:13
eclipsehonestly, my windows server 2003 is wicked stable it never crashed on me since i installed it like over a year ago06:13
George^Dekathoreauputic: thanks, think that means prefix is /usr06:13

FTTPjdz:  Is ubuntu based on 100% debian code?06:17
f00fi still use ol text based pine06:17
FTTPjdz:  I mean did they add any of their own code?06:17
FTTPjdz:  other than the splashscreens06:17
jdz`FTTP: No, they have added some of their own.06:17
FTTPjdz such as?06:18
jdz`FTTP: For example, Debian-Sarge and Ubuntu-Warty were frozen at about the same time.  Warty have gnome 2.8, while Sarge has 2.606:18

FTTPjdz: no i mean other than newer apps06:18
FTTPjdz:  I mean like original code06:19
FTTPnot apps06:19
jdz`FTTP: Whole new applications?  No, I do not believe so.06:19
Rotundcould someone w/ hoary tell me what the /usr/bin programs are on its version of gnome-system-tools06:19
hacked``guys, is there a download site where i can download the install cd for ubuntu 2.4.x06:19
jdz`FTTP: Besides, I believe if Ubuntu developed anything new, it would be commited upstream to Debian too06:19
FTTPjdz:  So its really just newer packages with splashscreens?  or are the splashscreens other than the logos the same in debian?06:19
FTTPjdz:  I never tried debian so i dont know06:20
jdz`FTTP: A lot of things are modified in Ubuntu.  But it's all based on Debian.06:20
FTTPjdz right, what did they modify?06:20
jdz`FTTP: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/relationship06:21

thoreauputicFTTP: if jdub was around he would know - he's here but I haven't seen him say anything for a while...06:23
RotundA friend of mine is using a PRISM2 card.  It ends up being autodetected in the startup.  It even works a couple times after that.  The issue is that it stops working after a couple reboots!06:23

Treenakswood1: never10:24
Treenakswood1: it (or the next version..) will be in hoary10:24
Treenakswood1: the idea of a "stable" release is that it doesn't change (well, it does, but only for security fixes)10:24
wood1Treenaks, it does not make sense10:25
Treenakswood1: it's perfectly straightforward10:25
wood1So we have to wait for Firefox till March of 200410:25
geoffjTreenaks: but doesn't fixfox 0.9 have a security hole?10:25
Treenakswood1: Warty has been released. Packages don't change in it anymore.10:25
Treenaksgeoffj: those have been patched in the ubuntu version10:25
Treenakswood1: you can upgrade to hoary now, there just aren't any stability guarantees10:25
geoffjTreenaks: cool10:26
Treenakswood1: and no support, of course10:26
wood1But when we do:   apt-get update, Firefox should also get updated, doesn't it ?10:26

StarScreamif they could work together on the features09:09
StarScreamand implement the gui for their desktop09:10
StarScreamthere would be more features surely09:10
paddeStarScream: may be true. but i think devels should not have any existing software in mind, but make what is "best" - and perhaps something is "best" in windows.09:10
wood1Is it because I install the preview Ubuntu CD on 13-Oct-2004 instead of a recent stable CD ?09:10
FalstiusStarScream, diversity of good for evolution.  With open source, if someone adds a feature you like you can look at their code and add it to yours09:10

chazwurthhmm...any tips on getting cdburning to work in ubuntu? I just installed xcdroast, and it doesn't see my writer.09:27
StarScreampadde, if there is something under linux/bsd/herd that you dont like, because its OSS you can implement it...if you want..or if you can find a nice devel, ask them to do it for ya09:27
Falstiuschazwurth, you might want to check the cdrecord man page and then see if it will identify your device09:28
paddeok: i really like the concept of unix / linux of being so modular - small apps do small things... so scripting is easy, everything gets more flexible. BUT: many different devels do many different config files or interfaces and you have to learn each and every one09:28

Trust me, debian (so ubuntu too) really makes it simple to setup those services, but sometimes they still require something from you11:25
