| agwibowo | is anyone familiar with aumix? what's the meaning of IGain, Line, Mix, Pcm, Synth ? | 12:50 |
| Chibi | They're volume levels. | 12:51 |
| agwibowo | .... ok... but what's the difference between them? | 12:51 |
| Chibi | IGain is a software amp. Line is the auxilery or microphone of your soundcard | 12:51 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) Chibi: rpms have problems because of differently named depends and different software on different distros.. ~you can't say that can't easily apply to debs | 12:51 | |

| agwibowo | ohhhh | 02:21 |
| agwibowo | that's why they are loaded again.. | 02:21 |

| ermo | daniels, also, the X600 is basically a souped up RV360 and some extra features (not mentioned in the article I'm reading) | 02:24 |
| osiris_22 | just tried to boot into ubuntu | 02:24 |

| osiris_22 | what does he do? | 02:24 |
| daniels | ermo: yeah | 02:25 |

| osiris_22 | and then it took him into a text prompt | 02:26 |
| osiris_22 | that says root | 02:26 |
| osiris_22 | or something | 02:26 |
| ermo | daniels, sure is. But I was thinking in terms of what hardware could reasonably be expected to be supported under X | 02:26 |
| daniels | i still have an 8500 (r200), quite happy with it | 02:26 |
| ermo | daniels, By extension, I would tend to belive that x300 and x600 /should/ work with the ati-drivers. | 02:27 |
| agwibowo | this is pathetic.... | 02:27 |
| ermo | daniels, Off course, I have no hard evidence to back up that claim. | 02:27 |

| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) I'm not sure what the differences are anymore | 02:29 | |
| ermo | daniels, I'm not making sense, sorry. I was referring to your prior quip to tyrano: tyrano: because unless you have a really, really, really new card (r4xx -- anything starting with an x, e.g. x300, x400, x600 | 02:29 |

| agwibowo | :( | 02:33 |
| socomm | osiris_22: that's probably it, sounds like your hard drive is broken. | 02:33 |

| agwibowo | i don't know where to click.. | 02:34 |
| agwibowo | the items are so huge | 02:34 |
| osiris_22 | yeah | 02:34 |

| agwibowo | thx | 02:34 |
| osiris_22 | dont fucken have them in there at the same time | 02:35 |

| agwibowo | :( | 02:35 |

| Chibi | I have an auto-hiding bar stretched across the bottom of my screen, my media player. She flipped out. :D | 02:35 |
| wm_eddie | I know there's a way to do this... | 02:35 |

| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) Chibi: what's so special about that? :-P | 02:35 | |
| FTTP | what is SVG? | 02:35 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) Chibi: I seem to recall windows can do that | 02:35 | |
| ermo | FTTP, Scalable Vector Graphics | 02:35 |
| FTTP | ubuntu says it wants to do svg aware eye candy | 02:35 |
| wm_eddie | agwibowo: umm try making the panel smaller. | 02:36 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: vector images vs raster images | 02:36 | |
| FTTP | gammaray: ? | 02:36 |
| wm_eddie | hmmm... | 02:36 |
| FTTP | that means nothing to me | 02:36 |
| FTTP | heh | 02:36 |
| Chibi | It was just funny to see her scream when there was a playlist instead of a start button :P | 02:36 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: google! | 02:36 | |
| wm_eddie | or removing things one by one until you see gray again... | 02:36 |
| agwibowo | wm_eddie: it's ok now.. thx | 02:36 |
| FTTP | gammaray: so what sort of eye candy do they mean? | 02:36 |
| wm_eddie | We need to suggest to gnome to have a lock panel option | 02:36 |
| osiris_22 | hes gonna use a seagate hard drive.. | 02:36 |
| wm_eddie | That also happened to my roommate. | 02:37 |

| FTTP | gammaray ok | 02:37 |
| wm_eddie | GammaRay: Does OS X use SVG? or just really large images? | 02:37 |
| FTTP | gammaray i guess that means like the ubuntu logos and such? | 02:37 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) wm_eddie: no idea | 02:37 | |
| ermo | FTTP, (simple explanation) you can either represent a picture by rows and columns of dots (bitmap) or by describing each component of a picture as an equation. The equations can be scaled, whereas the bitmaps need to be resamled. | 02:38 |
| ermo | resampled. | 02:38 |
| cardador | Phr0stByte: have you tried it? | 02:38 |
| agwibowo | any suggestion on dreamweaver-like html editor in linux? | 02:38 |
| agwibowo | i know screem, bluefish | 02:38 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: all the icons.. so you can change the resolution and keep the same sized interface | 02:38 | |

| wm_eddie | agwibowo: nvu looks good but I've never gotten it to install correctly, I use Mozilla composer for my stuff... not as good as dreamweaver (not even close) but good enough for some things. | 02:39 |

| drac | <socomm> Phr0stByte: give a spin it's a really small program ~20 sec compilation. <-- it's a lot | 02:42 |
| FTTP | err i mean | 02:42 |
| FTTP | they have rpms | 02:42 |
| FTTP | alot dont have precompiled debian files | 02:43 |
| FTTP | is it possible to use an rpm on debian? | 02:43 |
| Gnobody | just use alien to install rpms | 02:43 |
| FTTP | if all you have is the rpm | 02:43 |
| socomm | drac: that's an estimate it's probably alot less than that since it's only one source file. | 02:43 |
| Gnobody | sudo alien -i nvu.rpm | 02:43 |
| FTTP | gnobody: They should include alien on default so it works fully | 02:43 |
| socomm | FTTP: you can install rpms on ubuntu | 02:43 |
| drac | fakeroot ;) | 02:43 |
| FTTP | socomm is alien default? | 02:43 |
| socomm | FTTP: think so. | 02:43 |
| FTTP | socomm: Hmmm | 02:44 |
| Phr0stByte | socomm: I'll pass for now, as it is nothing actually useful - just eye-candy | 02:44 |
| drac | not shure | 02:44 |
| socomm | FTTP: I installed lame via alien, works fine for me. | 02:44 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: checkinstall easily makes debs from source | 02:44 | |
| FTTP | socomm: See the problem often for debian is that its easy to get commercial apps but alot of times they dont have debian versions, they are often for redhat | 02:45 |
| FTTP | gammaray right but some only distribute the rpm | 02:45 |
| Chibi | Good commercial apps are all static linked and have bin installers. :P | 02:45 |
| FTTP | chibi adobe for example for its svg viewer | 02:45 |
| FTTP | it has redhat | 02:45 |
| FTTP | and a .rpm | 02:46 |

| FTTP | it says redhat 7.1 to 9 | 02:46 |

| Chibi | quite possible. I didn't look at it, though. :P | 02:47 |

| Gnobody | yes | 02:48 |

| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) why | 02:48 | |
| FTTP | gnobody: i mean i dont expect their to be ubuntu versions, but ubuntu needs to work with those redhat and other linux distro versions | 02:49 |

| === tmartin [~tyler@ip68-6-112-163.sb.sd.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| FTTP | that is prolly enuff if it works all the time | 02:49 |
| drac | alien works | 02:49 |
| drac | but you won't have the dependences | 02:50 |
| Gnobody | yeah with debian you can pretty much install any linux binary you want | 02:50 |
| Gnobody | x86 of course | 02:50 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) that will allow you to install it but that won't fix any depends it needs but you don't have | 02:50 | |
| Gnobody | and ubuntu is debian base | 02:50 |
| Gnobody | d | 02:50 |
| FTTP | gnobody right but some apps only give rpms | 02:50 |
| FTTP | Alien should not be used to replace important system packages, like sysvinit, shared libraries, or other things that are essential for the functioning of your system. Many of these packages are set up differently by Debian and Red Hat, and packages from the different distributions cannot be used interchangably. In general, if you can't uninstall the package without breaking your system, don't try to replace it with an alien | 02:50 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) w/a range from rh 6-9 it's probably a static binary | 02:50 | |
| FTTP | gammaray i only used that as an example tho | 02:51 |
| tmartin | hey this is off topic but is there a channel on freenode for talking about programming in c++? | 02:51 |
| alindeman | #c++ | 02:51 |

| FTTP | see the problem is interchangable | 02:51 |
| tmartin | haha thx :) | 02:51 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: I'm using that example also | 02:51 | |

| FTTP | there is no .exe for linux | 02:53 |
| ogra | lol | 02:53 |
| socomm | WTF! | 02:53 |
| FTTP | socomm: Executables is a windows concept | 02:54 |
| ogra | looks really funny | 02:54 |
| socomm | And here I've been using -o program.exe | 02:54 |
| FTTP | oh | 02:54 |
| socomm | >_< | 02:54 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: ummm no | 02:54 | |
| FTTP | socomm dunno | 02:54 |
| cardador | ogra: try it with quality 9 :) | 02:54 |
| FTTP | gammaray: Thought .exe was for windows :P | 02:54 |
| FTTP | gammaray unless ur running wine of course | 02:54 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) executables is actually the proper term for what people commonly call binaries | 02:55 | |
| stuNNed | does noapic and nolapic do the same things or do i need both? system is freezing... | 02:55 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) the .exe extension is windows only true.. | 02:55 | |
| socomm | FTTP: I was kidding, you can tell gcc to compile a program with whatever name you like, for instance `gcc file.cc -o program.exe' | 02:55 |
| FTTP | gammaray thats what i meant | 02:55 |
| FTTP | socomm gotcha | 02:56 |
| FTTP | gammaray: ubuntu/debian needs an easier way to install apps | 02:56 |
| FTTP | just download and it auto installs | 02:56 |

| LinuxJones | eazel7, no not as of yet | 02:57 |
| FTTP | chibi: Ill google for it maybe | 02:57 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: "download and install" is kinda silly for linux | 02:57 | |
| Chibi | Fttp, hold on, I'll grab a screenshot of it really quick | 02:57 |

| eruin | .exe as an extension isn't windows-specific | 02:58 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) Chibi: you're just talking about an easier interface to apt right? | 02:58 | |
| Chibi | FTTP- There's also an auto-updater and graphic installer in the work. | 02:58 |
| eazel7 | I wait for haiku for a definite OS | 02:58 |
| eruin | muine.exe? :P | 02:58 |
| Chibi | Yeah, Gamma, the lazy apt. :P | 02:59 |
| FTTP | chibi: oh its just apt | 02:59 |
| eazel7 | Chibi, what app are you talking about? | 02:59 |
| FTTP | chibi: Screenshot would still be nice if u can :) | 02:59 |
| LinuxJones | eazel7, Progeny has ported Anaconda and has been incorporated into their Debian based distro | 02:59 |
| FTTP | chibi: But im referring to installing commercial apps | 02:59 |
| FTTP | that are not in the repositories | 02:59 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) Chibi: well I hope you guys reqwrite the broken vsftpd init.d script as well :-P | 02:59 | |
| eruin | the problem with anaconda debian-wise is that it doesn't support more than two archs | 02:59 |
| FTTP | unless that app can handle those too? | 02:59 |
| eazel7 | LinuxJones, I'll see what can I do, I'm really interested | 02:59 |
| Chibi | Oohhhhh, Like the firefox and xfce installers? :P | 03:00 |
| FTTP | chibi i never installed xfce or firefox i dunno | 03:00 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: why should it be the distro makers job to cover the asses of adobe? | 03:00 | |
| eruin | who maintains firefox? | 03:00 |
| cardador | NVU is amazing! | 03:00 |
| jomohke | is it? | 03:00 |
| FTTP | gammaray: Whos covering their ass? its making it easier to use the apps | 03:00 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: a lot of time, ubuntun could not even legally make pacages for these pieces of software | 03:01 | |
| Chibi | They're like installing windows applications, FTTP. With the whole 'choose what parts you want' graphic installer shebang. | 03:01 |
| FTTP | gammaray oh | 03:01 |
| cardador | jomohke: just tried it now, looks good | 03:01 |
| FTTP | ok well if legal issues come into play thats another story | 03:01 |
| jomohke | cardador: The brief comments I've heard of it were that it was fairly incomplete. I haven't tried it, though. | 03:01 |
| FTTP | chibi yeah well maybe adobe will eventually make a better installer :) | 03:01 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: not to mention that they all use different interfaces for installing, it would have to be done on a per software basis, which is a lot of work. | 03:01 | |
| eruin | why oh why is people.debian.org so slooow | 03:01 |
| LinuxJones | eazel7, I hope Ubuntu borrows from Progeny, Anaconda is excellent. | 03:02 |
| eazel7 | yup | 03:02 |
| (HrdwrBoB/#ubuntu) eruin: specifically to piss you off | 03:02 | |
| FTTP | gammaray then it should be up to the manufacturer | 03:02 |
| eruin | blimey | 03:02 |
| FTTP | gammaray or just make sure for example u can easily install rpms which is the most common standard | 03:02 |
| eazel7 | I hope that anaconda uses backends | 03:02 |
| eazel7 | so there is no duplicated work betwin rpm and deb versions | 03:02 |
| FTTP | gammaray i guess there is no simple solution between opensource and commercial | 03:03 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: but is is already up to the manufacturer.. every seperate one w/ theie different owners | 03:03 | |
| FTTP | to use commercial apps if one so chooses on ubuntu | 03:03 |
| LinuxJones | eazel7, the source code should be on the Progeny website. i'm pretty sure it's written in gtk-python | 03:03 |
| eazel7 | ok | 03:03 |
| eruin | everything redhat is built with gtkpython | 03:03 |
| FTTP | gammaray: Right but as of now many use .bin and .rpm | 03:04 |
| FTTP | so there has to be a way to use those easily | 03:04 |
| FTTP | gammaray is there a gnome frontend to alien for example? | 03:04 |
| FTTP | that may be the best solution there | 03:04 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: .bin is easy enough to deal with. ie the nvidia installer should work on ubuntu | 03:04 | |
| Chibi | http://studiochibico.com/ar.jpg | 03:04 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: never used alien | 03:05 | |
| eazel7 | Anaconda is written in Python and C | 03:05 |
| FTTP | chibi thats just copying the windows method :P | 03:05 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: quote new to debian as well.. about a month | 03:05 | |
| FTTP | gammaray u mean anaconda? | 03:06 |
| LinuxJones | eazel7, >> http://componentizedlinux.org/anaconda/ | 03:06 |
| eruin | how on earth is that copying the windows method? | 03:06 |
| Chibi | The point is to ease use, right? | 03:06 |
| FTTP | eruin: Add + remove programs | 03:06 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: no. I mean quite :-P | 03:06 | |

| mxpxpod | what happened to the gaim evo plugin? | 03:09 |
| FTTP | eruin me too | 03:09 |
| YokoZar | How does Ubuntu determine what things to put in the applications menu? I don't seem to have the menu package installed | 03:09 |
| eruin | with categories on a left pane with its items on a right pane | 03:09 |
| FTTP | eruin yeah its nice | 03:09 |
| (jdub/#ubuntu) YokoZar: that's all gnome functionality | 03:09 | |
| YokoZar | jdub: Even when I install a package? | 03:10 |
| FTTP | what i meant was this tho: is there a way to easily install .bins kinda like a program which will just run it and install it easily and bring up the right windows for install (even a terminal mode) and stuff? | 03:10 |
| FTTP | from that add/remove program interface | 03:10 |
| FTTP | or whatever | 03:10 |
| FTTP | should be a way where u can do it easily without leaving gnome and going to terminal | 03:10 |
| FTTP | thats what i meant | 03:10 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: a paperclips and glue idea.. have .bin files open in gnmome-terminal | 03:11 | |
| FTTP | gammaray: Can they be already? | 03:11 |
| FTTP | no i mean | 03:11 |
| eruin | well, if some standarized toolkit that all distributors of .bin files used was in place, that could easily be written | 03:11 |
| === Ycros [~Ycros@c211-30-14-115.thorn1.nsw.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| FTTP | gammaray: A program which will easily walk u thru install | 03:11 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) they are just executables.. ie xterm -e reaplayer.bin | 03:11 | |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: they would depends on what the .bin did I guess | 03:12 | |
| FTTP | gammaray i dunno........ | 03:12 |
| eruin | but since a bin can be all console-based (nvidia) while another (quake3) can be gtk-based, how should the installer logic be? | 03:12 |
| FTTP | whatever works i guess :) | 03:12 |
| thoreauputic | FTTP: if it's a precompiled binary you can extract it in nautilus, navigate to th edirectory, create a link and off you go : but I agree for new users how to do that isn't intuitive | 03:12 |
| FTTP | eruin good point | 03:12 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) eruin: open them all in a term | 03:12 | |
| eruin | we're talkinga bout a gui tool here | 03:13 |
| FTTP | thoreauputic yeah right, just a way to automate just what u said | 03:13 |
| eruin | I know full-well how to run a .bin file ;> | 03:13 |
| FTTP | threauputic just add a feature for that which will do just that :) | 03:13 |
| FTTP | on all .bin files | 03:13 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) eruin: synaptic does as much | 03:13 | |
| YokoZar | jdub: A Debian package should have some common menu creating hints in it, and the menu package will then make a menu out of it for every window manager. Does this not happen in Ubuntu? | 03:13 |
| FTTP | or something | 03:13 |
| eruin | GammaRay, no. | 03:13 |
| thoreauputic | FTTP: problem is that how binaries install is not standardised | 03:13 |
| FTTP | thoreauputic: hmmmmmm | 03:13 |
| eruin | he's talking about non-open software | 03:14 |
| FTTP | thoreauputic: Ill come up with something | 03:14 |
| FTTP | ill try those apps and see | 03:14 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) eruin: you never noticed the terminal window while software is installing? | 03:14 | |
| FTTP | eruin it should be mostly open software, but there are times when u may want to add 1 commerical program | 03:14 |
| FTTP | for whatever reason | 03:14 |
| eruin | GammaRay, this has nothing to do with apt or debs or ubuntus workings in general for that matter | 03:15 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) eruin: I know taat full well | 03:15 | |
| (jdub/#ubuntu) YokoZar: we don't display or support the debian menu system | 03:15 | |
| FTTP | jdub oh what installer is you right? | 03:15 |
| nonajme | hmm, how can i reconfigure xfree with the standard config? | 03:15 |
| eruin | GammaRay, if synaptic can, say, be used to install both the official nvidia package and quake3 point releases, that's sure news to me | 03:15 |
| YokoZar | jdub: Ahh. So how do Ubuntu packages add menu items to ubuntu then? | 03:16 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) eruin: you're missing my point | 03:16 | |
| FTTP | jdub u handle software installers too tho or just the 1st time install? | 03:16 |
| (jdub/#ubuntu) YokoZar: that's all gnome/freedesktop.org menu functionality | 03:16 | |
| (jdub/#ubuntu) FTTP: what? | 03:16 | |
| FTTP | jdub i mean that add/remove type program | 03:16 |
| FTTP | that someone showed me | 03:16 |
| eruin | GammaRay, point is, we're talkinga bout packages that will never show up in any repository usable by synaptic | 03:16 |
| FTTP | jdub u dont handle that right? | 03:16 |
| stuNNed | jdub, if i add kernel line 'noapic' do i need to add 'nolapic' as well? | 03:16 |
| (jdub/#ubuntu) FTTP: i don't understand what you're asking. | 03:17 | |
| (jdub/#ubuntu) stuNNed: i don't know. | 03:17 | |
| YokoZar | jdub: Ahh, so some packages use both the debian menu system and the freedesktop stuff | 03:17 |
| stuNNed | jdub, k thanks mate | 03:17 |
| eruin | more like some kind of cross-distro standarized installer, ala installshield on windows | 03:17 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) eruin: I don't know what to say but "duh!" | 03:17 | |
| (Lathiat/#ubuntu) stuNNed: I don't think so, but if it doesn't work, try using nolapic as well... | 03:17 | |
| (jdub/#ubuntu) YokoZar: yeah, the debian menu stuff is still there, but not used | 03:17 | |
| eruin | GammaRay, then why on earth do you bring up the subject of synaptic? | 03:17 |

| hcker2000 | GammaRay, thanks and do i need to add a specific mirror to get totem-xine because it isnt in the list | 03:21 |

| FTTP | thoreauputic: Right but alot of times it easy to install it, thru redhat for example | 03:21 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: you just have to get companies to actually use those.. so it would probably have to support windows also | 03:21 | |
| (jdub/#ubuntu) YokoZar: patches accepted for universe | 03:22 | |
| stuNNed | hcker2000, it's in multiverse, afaik | 03:22 |
| FTTP | thoreauputic: its not a priority or anything so........... :P | 03:22 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) totem-xine is in universe | 03:22 | |
| mxpxpod | actually, totem-xine is in universe | 03:22 |
| FTTP | thoreauputic: I guess we come to conclusion its not something that can be done | 03:22 |
| YokoZar | jdub: Oh, ok. So if I were to be updating a package and wanted it to have a menu entry, I should stop reading the debian menu docs and instead look at freedesktop.org? | 03:22 |

| ogra | Phr0stByte: you must define certain things in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file | 03:38 |
| hcker2000 | GammaRay, any idea how i could find out if it exists? or is there a way to just compile the dvdcss? | 03:38 |

| PorscheBoy | zenwhen, u can get the latest driver from nvidia instead of getting it from ubuntu | 03:39 |

| ogra | Phr0stByte: man wacom shows all options you can set..... | 03:39 |
| jeffreyb | Im new to U... Should I only uncomment universe when I need to install something thats not in the warty repos- then recomment universe? Or can I leave it uncommented always-even during apt-get upgrade? | 03:39 |
| zenwhen | Ive been running Ubintu for some time. | 03:39 |
| Phr0stByte | ogra: Yeah, tried all that | 03:39 |
| zenwhen | Im just saying for newbies with 6800's it would be nice for them to nit have to deal with that. | 03:39 |
| zenwhen | not* | 03:39 |
| thoreauputic | jeffreyb: just leave it | 03:39 |
| nevyn | jeffreyb: I'd leave it uncommented if you need to install anything from that source. | 03:39 |
| jomohke | I selected and then deleted 500 small text files in nautilus and it froze up. Eventually it said it was not responding and I had to force the quit. It auto restarted back to normal - at least the text files deleted. | 03:39 |
| nevyn | then it'll get security updates and such | 03:39 |

| aaroncuk | no warty | 03:59 |
| riffic | oh =( | 03:59 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) hcker2000: you should install checkinstall so you can create a deb packagefrom the source | 03:59 | |
| potato | eg I use | 03:59 |
| brdweb | speaking of iwconfig... i just got my system using my linksys wpc54g card tonight using ndiswrapper | 03:59 |
| riffic | i'm in hoary and i lock when gnome loads | 03:59 |

| potato | ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.30 up | 03:59 |
| riffic | no one's been able to figure it out | 03:59 |

| potato | ophie, it's your choice | 04:01 |
| ogra | lol | 04:01 |
| potato | I just do an nmap -sP 192.168.0.* or 192.168.1.* | 04:01 |
| potato | works most of the time | 04:01 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) hcker2000: you extract the archive, do "./configure --prefix=/usr" then "make" then "sudo checkinstall" | 04:01 | |

| hcker2000 | ./ did try and work last time but it said i had no c compiler | 04:11 |
| hcker2000 | ok | 04:11 |

| genr | what a hacker you are, can't even run a config | 04:11 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) sh configure would work also | 04:11 | |

| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) did it create a deb file in your current dir? | 04:14 | |
| hcker2000 | yep | 04:15 |
| hcker2000 | .deb file | 04:15 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) sudo dpkg -i *.deb should do it | 04:15 | |
| hcker2000 | ok | 04:15 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) I'm not sure the sudo in sudo checkinstall was really needed | 04:15 | |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) I was thinking for a sec it would install it for you | 04:15 | |
| hcker2000 | there i think it worked. now what is the command to totem-xine | 04:16 |
| hcker2000 | i tryed just xine | 04:16 |

| osiris_22 | like i can send files to anyone using linux | 04:39 |

| tyrano | since there is only one account now to go after? | 05:00 |
| s0cks | tyrano : They could go into sudo | 05:01 |

| tyrano | right | 05:01 |
| tyrano | that doesnt sound good though :| | 05:01 |
| Agrajag | tyrano: only if they got your password | 05:01 |

| mass | is there actually plans in the future to allow /boot or the root to be done via software raid? | 05:02 |
| Agrajag | unless he used nopass in /etc/sudoers, which is retarded. | 05:02 |
| s0cks | When users have to come in here and say 'how do I install a graphics card', your system is safe! | 05:02 |
| mass | it took me a while to configure my system because I didn't realize the root requirement was there :) | 05:02 |
| potato | they could change his password | 05:03 |
| Agrajag | potato: could they? | 05:03 |
| Agrajag | You have to enter your current password to do that. | 05:03 |
| mass | potato: you have to know the original password to change a user's password | 05:03 |
| mass | unless you are root | 05:03 |
| wm_eddie | When I first installed Ubuntu, I created a root account in Single-user mode thinking it was a bug... :) | 05:03 |
| potato | are there any protections about brute forcing it ? | 05:03 |
| mass | which requires the user's password with sudo ;-) | 05:03 |
| s0cks | potato : 'they' could launch his hard drive out of a potato launcher if 'they' wanted to. | 05:03 |
| wm_eddie | or rather, gave the root account a password | 05:03 |
| Agrajag | potato: well no | 05:03 |
| Agrajag | wait, maybe | 05:04 |
| mass | how is the shadow file accessed? I thought they had to go through pam | 05:04 |
| tyrano | so there is a root account, but it has no password, but the account is disabled? | 05:04 |
| mass | which throttled attempts | 05:04 |
| Agrajag | if you fail too many times with sudo, you might get locked out. You can set that, I don't know if ubuntu has that set | 05:04 |
| wm_eddie | oh and a word of warning, DO NOT launch firefox under sudo! It'll erase your bookmarks! | 05:04 |
| FTTP | who was i discussing the sco lawsuit with last time? | 05:04 |
| Agrajag | mass: I believe they do. | 05:04 |
| mass | tyrano: it has password disabled, the account itself (user with uid 0) still exists | 05:04 |
| FTTP | if ur here, join #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:04 |
| ogra | tyrano: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo | 05:04 |

| wm_eddie | tyrano: If you don't like it do sudo su and run passwd... | 05:05 |
| wm_eddie | or sudo passwd... | 05:05 |
| mass | wm_eddie: for a long time, distributions shipped netscape navigator 4.x versions with a script in front which would refuse to start the browser if you were root | 05:05 |
| tyrano | i didnt say i didnt like it, its just strange | 05:05 |
| jono | tyrano, it is odd, I found it weird at furst too | 05:05 |
| mass | I hate passwords of '*' | 05:05 |
| mass | I change mine to '' | 05:05 |
| Agrajag | why do you hate '*'? | 05:06 |
| wm_eddie | mass: The thing is I ran the firefox 1.0 installer and did a systemwide install and on the last page it has a Launch browser now checkmark.... | 05:06 |
| Agrajag | You know why it's *, right? | 05:06 |
| hcker2000 | the **** remoinds you of windows to much right | 05:06 |
| mass | Agarajag: I figured it wasn't special cased; it just had to be under a certain # of characters | 05:06 |
| mass | so that you could not consider the value seed+hash | 05:06 |
| Agrajag | mass: no password will ever has to anything containing a * | 05:06 |
| wm_eddie | And I lost all my bookmarks next time I ran it. Imagine how surprised I was. | 05:06 |
| Agrajag | hash | 05:06 |
| mass | ahh | 05:07 |
| mass | that too :) | 05:07 |
| mass | but even if I changed it to xxxxxxxx, it still wouldn't go through I would imagine | 05:07 |
| mass | beccause you can't hash something to seven x's :) | 05:07 |
| Agrajag | so if you want to temporarily disable an account, you can just put a * at the beginning or end of their hash in /etc/shadow | 05:07 |
| wm_eddie | maybe I should submit that as a bug report to the installer folks... | 05:07 |
| Agrajag | mass: you can't? | 05:07 |
| Agrajag | well, I suppose not | 05:07 |
| mass | hashes are always to a fixed length | 05:08 |
| Agrajag | right | 05:08 |
| Agrajag | still | 05:08 |
| mass | stars are better ;-) | 05:08 |
| Agrajag | anyway, that's why it's * | 05:08 |

| FTTP | ok close out the bug :) | 05:51 |
| fabbione | FTTP: correct | 05:52 |
| fabbione | the nvidia is binary only | 05:52 |
| FTTP | fabbione ill contact nvidia | 05:52 |
| fabbione | but don't expect that the nv driver will work any better | 05:52 |
| FTTP | for the heck of it | 05:52 |
| fabbione | it's the 2d part of the driver, done by the same people | 05:52 |
| fabbione | and the code is REALLY obscure | 05:52 |
| FTTP | yep | 05:53 |
| fabbione | but yes, you can contact them | 05:53 |
| FTTP | fabbione: Easiest way is to have a monitor selection in gnome | 05:53 |
| fabbione | or wait for daniels to upload the new x.org release | 05:53 |
| FTTP | eventually | 05:53 |
| FTTP | or to see if x.org fixes it yeah | 05:53 |
| fabbione | FTTP: the monitor selection you see around in other distro is useless | 05:53 |

| FTTP | sure linus did alot of work and stuff , but alot of it was just hobbyist grade stuff | 08:01 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) FTTP: before 2.6 they has perfectly fine if flawed SMP support | 08:01 | |
| maskie | Karnaugh, that is why we also need big guys with deep pockets to contribute ... | 08:01 |
| FTTP | gammaray: without commercial companies donating, linux would be nothing | 08:02 |
| FTTP | i mean linux would just be a hobbyist os | 08:02 |
| FTTP | very small in nature | 08:02 |
| Karnaugh | maskie: exactly, or guys that work for IBM etc and have some free time to donate code that they were able to develop with their big pockets | 08:03 |
| farruinn | FTTP, I don't think I really get your point. Is there something wrong with that? | 08:03 |
| Karnaugh | brb, stupid apache has hung again | 08:03 |
| FTTP | farruinn what im saying is i wish we had more commercial os competition | 08:03 |
| FTTP | it would spur faster development | 08:03 |
| FTTP | linux will coexist | 08:04 |
| FTTP | linux aint going anywhere | 08:04 |
| pepsi_ | BeOS was fun :D | 08:04 |
| FTTP | kde and gnome and all will be around and still donated :) | 08:04 |
| maskie | Karnaugh, u from SA? ... seem to remember your name from myadsl | 08:04 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) linux seems to be the only OS around that can stand up to MS | 08:05 | |
| FTTP | just wish there was more of a commercial model for competition | 08:05 |
| FTTP | gammaray: No competitor can get marketshare, its locked out | 08:05 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) huh? | 08:05 | |
| FTTP | gammaray for desktop os i mean | 08:05 |
| farruinn | I don't think that competing with M$ is really the point of linux anyway... | 08:05 |
| FTTP | the percentage of users of linux in the usa is very very small | 08:05 |
| FTTP | server its on the rise | 08:05 |
| genr | im from sa maskie | 08:05 |
| Karnaugh | maskie: yes | 08:05 |
| FTTP | but not desktop | 08:05 |
| (crimsun/#ubuntu) FTTP: hobbyist grade? I refute that. | 08:06 | |

| FTTP | crimsum: No im saying without commercial support | 08:06 |
| FTTP | crimsum: IT would have BEEN hobbyist grade | 08:06 |
| (crimsun/#ubuntu) 2.4 had excellent SMP compared even without commercial backing | 08:06 | |
| Austron | the standardization of linux must continue and must be improved vastly | 08:06 |
| FTTP | crimsum: IBM donatedh hyperthreading for example | 08:06 |
| FTTP | Hyper-Threading speeds Linux | 08:06 |
| FTTP | donated by ibm | 08:06 |
| maskie | genr, Karnaugh, did any of you watch the new TV program on open source that started yesterday ... | 08:06 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) hyperthreading is stupid btw | 08:06 | |
| genr | maskie, nope | 08:07 |
| genr | what's the name? | 08:07 |
| (crimsun/#ubuntu) FTTP: where did you read they donated it? | 08:07 | |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) hyperthreading is just to make up for Intels bad chip design | 08:07 | |
| (crimsun/#ubuntu) and reading, HT is negligible. | 08:07 | |
| FTTP | crimsum: The current Linux symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) kernel at both the 2.4 and 2.5 versions was made aware of Hyper-Threading, and performance speed-up had been observed in multithreaded benchmarks (see Resources later in this article for articles with more details). | 08:07 |
| maskie | genr, go-open and it is sponsored in part by Canonical .. was on SABC 2 around 5:30 | 08:07 |
| (GammaRay/#ubuntu) ie amd does not need hyperthreading | 08:08 | |
| genr | sounds interesting | 08:08 |
| FTTP | Duc Vianney works in operating system performance evaluation and measurement in computer architectures and Java. He is with the Linux Kernel Performance Group at the IBM Linux Technology Center. Duc has written several articles on Java performance for IBM developerWorks and PartnerWorld. | 08:08 |
| (crimsun/#ubuntu) FTTP: the speedup is nowhere as crucial as the actual tearing down of internal big locks | 08:08 | |
| genr | stop copy pasting fttp, shit. | 08:08 |

| (crimsun/#ubuntu) farruinn: most ubuntu maintainers/developers are also debian maintainers/developers; so bug squashing and patching is very close-knit | 08:16 | |

| alkirk | XFree86 | 09:29 |
| __daniel | |FalleN-AngeL|: it works perfectly on my debian router... what's the problem? | 09:29 |
| __daniel | alkirk: then: dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xfree86 | 09:30 |
| |FalleN-AngeL| | __daniel, is that with authentication from the machine itself, or from the router? | 09:30 |

| (Treenaks/#ubuntu) werewolf: how did you try to install it? | 11:33 | |
| paspourtoi | Samba Web Administration Tool | 11:33 |
| _kris_ | samba web administration tool | 11:33 |
| paspourtoi | it should be in the repositories (Debian has it anyway) | 11:34 |

| (crimsun/#ubuntu) 265 is a goodly # | 11:36 | |
| freakabcd | heh | 11:36 |
| werewolf | last samba package is 3.0.7-1ubuntu6.2, but swat depends on samba=3.0.7-1ubuntu6 :( | 11:37 |
| (Treenaks/#ubuntu) hmm | 11:37 | |
| (Treenaks/#ubuntu) I'd file a bug for that | 11:38 | |
| (Treenaks/#ubuntu) it should depend on a less specific version] | 11:38 | |
| (Treenaks/#ubuntu) 6.2 is the security-updated version.. | 11:38 | |
| paspourtoi | werewolf: you realise swat wipes allthr useful comments from you conf file? | 11:38 |
| (Treenaks/#ubuntu) paspourtoi: you could copy it somewhere safe before installing swat | 11:39 | |
| paspourtoi | werewolf: maybe use webmin instead as a work around | 11:39 |
| paspourtoi | Treenaks: true :) | 11:39 |
| werewolf | paspourtoi: yes, but it's so easy, and is a good start point | 11:39 |

| tkooda | hello all, can someone give me their opinion on why someone might want to run ubuntu instead of debian? | 12:08 |
| humbo | I've never run debian, so I'm not much help in that respect. | 12:09 |
| (Lathiat/#ubuntu) tkooda: Because ubuntu provides a much nicer and integreated desktop right out of the box, also includes a 6 monthly release, commercial support and more up to date software than debian. | 12:09 | |
| dabbish1 | out of the box I just get garbled output | 12:09 |
| (crimsun/#ubuntu) humbo: ocassional downtime, unforeseen circumstances, so forth | 12:09 | |
| pl0vs | tkooda, ubuntu is easier to install, has a nicer integrated gnome-desktop by default | 12:09 |
| tkooda | Lathiat, more up to date than, say sarge? | 12:09 |
| (crimsun/#ubuntu) the development branch is definitely more current than sarge | 12:10 | |
| (crimsun/#ubuntu) stable branch of course is frozen completely | 12:10 | |
| will | definatly! | 12:10 |
| tkooda | Lathiat/pl0vs, what do you mean a "more intergrated gnome-desktop"? (how is it more "ingergrated" than, say, a sarge gnome install?) | 12:10 |
| humbo | dabbish1: when does this appear? Do you see the text bootup first, or is there no display at all? | 12:10 |
| (crimsun/#ubuntu) tkooda: the gnome desktop is much more streamlined in ubuntu | 12:11 | |
| will | tkooda: were not forcing you....just check it out yourself any you will see :) | 12:11 |
| (crimsun/#ubuntu) tkooda: the menus are cleaned up and are much less confusing | 12:11 | |
| tkooda | will, I didn't suggest someone was forcing me. I came to ask what you knew about it. | 12:11 |
| humbo | ubuntu appears to be built around gnome, it specialises in it. | 12:11 |
| tkooda | humbo, what do you mean specialises? | 12:11 |
| tkooda | so it's got newer packages in the stable release, and has a better default gnome config? | 12:12 |
| will | tkooda:yes but no one here will force you i meant, cos were all lovely ubuntu'ers | 12:12 |
| tkooda | does ubuntu use any (unmodified) debian packages? | 12:13 |
| (Lathiat/#ubuntu) tkooda: yes, the universe and multiverse archives are direct from debian | 12:14 | |
| daniels | tkooda: yes | 12:14 |
| daniels | tkooda: whatever we didn't change | 12:14 |
| (Lathiat/#ubuntu) tkooda: because a) i have gnome working out of the box, b) i have hal, gnome-volume-manager etc | 12:14 | |
| (Lathiat/#ubuntu) and an incredibly cool team of people working on it :) | 12:14 | |
| tkooda | can someone please explain how the part about allowing any developer to modify any package works? -wouldn't that lead to developer infighting? | 12:14 |
| will | too much choice for software, i feel debian-based dpkg is very powerful | 12:15 |
| tkooda | ..or perhaps lead to stability problems if not all developers are equally skilled? | 12:15 |

| fabbione | tkooda: justs kidding ;) | 12:20 |

| daniels | fabbione: so I hit faster and harder on X? :) | 12:20 |
| daniels | tkooda: well, if someone can't cope with the idea of solving disputes through communication, then that's a pretty big red flag for them to join, obviously | 12:20 |
| daniels | tkooda: we just talk it out rationally | 12:20 |

| __daniel | and if people still dont like daniels' ideas he tortures them with "hassel the hoff" | 12:21 |
| tkooda | daniels, I see. but even rational people will disagree from time to time. are there procedures in place to solve conflicts that can't be resolved via handolding and singing songs? ;P | 12:22 |

| bam | I've got a problem, I'm totaly new to ubuntu, I'm from belgium | 12:26 |
| tkooda | I think I get the gist of ubuntu now.. would it be fair to summarize ubuntu (as compared to debian stable) as having "faster, predictable, release cycle with more up-to-date packages; and some measure of more emphasis on the gnome desktop; ..and leaves behind any old developer-infighting-fustration that may have accumulated amoungst debian developers who disagree" ? | 12:26 |

| sivang | Gmail : just make classpath= and jdk= point to the right places. | 12:27 |

| bam | Now i want to use Windows AND linux in the beginning , so i made two partitions, 65 gigabyte for windows + other stuff and a 16GB for ubuntu | 12:28 |
| sivang | Gmail : it can be used system wide like this, just put the right envars in a system wide location, just leave the actual execs on your home folder./ | 12:28 |
| Gmail | so $home/.java | 12:28 |
| the_one | I'd like to install the tahoma font in ubuntu, could I just copy it from the windows partition, if so, how? I need to have root access, so it must be done over the command line. Or is there a font-installation utility in gnome already? | 12:28 |
| tkooda | I guess I never was very privy to any large-scale debian developer conflict that needed to be solved by forking another distro. | 12:28 |

| Juerd | Talliesin: I was told that it's very understandable | 02:21 |
| Talliesin | Juerd, I was told that it's tolerated because they figure they can't expect us foreigners to do things right :) | 02:21 |
| Juerd | Talliesin: That's how ij became i j. All it takes is technology not supporting the real thing. Or foreigners. Let's start a revolution there :) | 02:22 |
| Talliesin | I must look into the ij. I was told (by someone who knows a lot on such things) that they were a collation unit but still two letters. | 02:24 |
| Juerd | No way they're two letters :) | 02:24 |
| Juerd | Well, ij are. The real character isn't. | 02:25 |
| Talliesin | What did they derive from? | 02:25 |
| Juerd | y | 02:25 |
| Talliesin | A ha. | 02:25 |
| Juerd | (And the other way around too: some English Ys are originally IJs) | 02:25 |
| Talliesin | that seems familiar now you say that. | 02:25 |
| Juerd | ij is used for what was ei or y, but not every occurrence. I don't know why some things changed and others did not. | 02:25 |
| Juerd | I believe I read somewhere that English "by" comes from Dutch "bij" which comes from German "bei". | 02:26 |
| Talliesin | ! | 02:26 |
| Talliesin | Now I remember what I was told. | 02:26 |
| Juerd | Likewise: eis -> ijs -> ice | 02:26 |
| Talliesin | ij is one letter that came from y but some of the root words had ei (two letters). Yep, it's all coming back. | 02:26 |

| adnans | hmm, why does ubuntu wait for the networking config during bootup?? I don't have any weird NFS like structures, just me laptop?! | 03:44 |
| ermo | ivar, that's a pretty advanced operation (behind the scenes) however. | 03:44 |
| ermo | ivar, so you'd have to make sure that required ubuntu packages are not forced off your system. | 03:45 |
| ivar | ermo, yeah, it's appearing that way | 03:45 |
| ermo | ivar, have you considered installing it in /usr/local instead? | 03:45 |
| ivar | it doesn't even appear to be installable | 03:45 |
| ivar | ermo, yeah.. i'm thinking a local install would be best... | 03:45 |
| ermo | ivar, I know it sounds dumb, but in that way, you could make it depend on the proper ubuntu/debian packages. Plus, there exist a util (also apt-gettable from universe) to manage /usr/local installs | 03:46 |
| ermo | exists, even. Can't remember it's name but I've looked at i briefly before. | 03:46 |

| ermo | ivar, I did, at one point, experiment with using apt.conf to tightly control access to debian unstable (I wanted samba 3.0pre packages) | 03:48 |
| ermo | ivar, so it's doable if you're careful and don't mind reading through the apt documentation. | 03:48 |
| ivar | ermo, it looks like my efforts are futile anyway.. i've got x86 and it appears they've only got a powerpc version | 03:49 |
| ermo | ivar, when you install something, you'd have to append an apt-get -u <whatever> to specify that you want packages from your non-standard repo. If you couple that with clever pinning, it's doable. | 03:50 |

| ermo | Matt|, is evo still in C in hoary? | 04:43 |
| topyli | will: evolution crashes sometimes. and imap is b0rken too. or that was the situation when i downgraded :) | 04:43 |
| Gwildor | riz, 18 months?, or is that just security? | 04:43 |
| Matt| | ermo, huh? | 04:43 |
| will | this ./configure is taking ages! | 04:43 |
| (Lathiat/#ubuntu) riz: 18 months for security, new pakages etc arent done at all now and all work goes on in hoary | 04:43 | |
| (Lathiat/#ubuntu) will: alo tof them do | 04:44 | |
| plasmo | will : lol | 04:44 |

| paul__ | I am unable to find xorg.config or any config files in X11 where I can set my screen res!? Any ideas | 04:44 |

| plasmo | probli you are running xfree86 then | 04:44 |

| ermo | Matt|, nevermind. I was referring to the fact that evo will be ported to C#/Mono in due time. | 04:44 |
| plasmo | /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 | 04:44 |

| topyli | riz: in 18 months from warty release, you must upgrade | 04:45 |

| Gwildor | topyli, yes, i just wanted riz to be clear that he doesnt HAVE to , as in he is not being forced, he has a choice | 04:47 |

| onestep | I'm a linux NOOB so it's all beyond me too! | 05:11 |
| m00se | Karnaugh, lets say you want package foo from debian which depends on libbar | 05:11 |
| usual | was the gnome screenshot app removed from hoary | 05:11 |
| usual | or is it a bug | 05:11 |
| onestep | It all worked soooooooooooo well on the Live disc | 05:11 |
| m00se | but debian has libbar 1.0 and ubuntu 0.9, chances are foo won't work | 05:11 |
| Hitch-Hiker | Hange around here and your problems will be answered . . . sometime | 05:11 |
| plasmo | its move in gnome util or something. itll be fixed soon i guess | 05:11 |
| usual | k | 05:11 |
| Karnaugh | m00se: err, so update libbar? | 05:12 |

| Karnaugh | m00se: are you telling me that Ubuntu has its own separate apt mirror? | 05:12 |
| flodin | where can I browse the packages available in ubuntu? | 05:12 |
| Gwildor | yup | 05:12 |

| plasmo | well kinda | 05:12 |
| m00se | s/karakth/Karnaugh | 05:13 |
| topyli | tost: ubuntu is a compact system by default. hence, no cds 2-7 | 05:13 |
| m00se | Karnaugh, yes | 05:13 |
| Karnaugh | m00se: why? | 05:13 |
| Hitch-Hiker | Ok, I'm assuming you have a dual partition with windows | 05:13 |
| m00se | hoary is more or less tracking debian versions | 05:13 |
| onestep | Yes I do | 05:13 |
| Hitch-Hiker | and your in ubuntu now | 05:13 |
| tost | topyli, yeah but 500mb is not so much | 05:13 |
| tom` | onestep: To see if ubuntu saw your harddrive, you might try dmesg | grep 'hd[a-z] ' and see what shows up. | 05:13 |
| m00se | Karnaugh, because Ubunto is not Debian :) | 05:13 |

| Hitch-Hiker | get a console up and type sudo fdisk -l | 05:14 |
| Karnaugh | so what exactly is different? | 05:14 |
| Karnaugh | that would effect a package | 05:14 |
| topyli | tost: hmm. base system, X, gnome, openoffice, firefox. no games. do the math :) | 05:14 |
| m00se | Karnaugh, depends on the package | 05:14 |
| Karnaugh | rather a waste to track the debian mirrors, why not just make it cross compatible | 05:14 |
| m00se | some ubuntu packages have ubuntu specific patches applied, others don't | 05:14 |
| tost | ubuntu use gnome ? | 05:15 |
| plasmo | toat: yes | 05:15 |
| m00se | Karnaugh, but then ubuntu would be debian so it would be pointless | 05:15 |

| the_one | anyone? | 05:30 |
| Xamusk | does ubuntu have k3b? it doesnt appear in distrowatch | 05:30 |
| Hitch-Hiker | The fix was to start a terminal (right click on desktop, "open terminal") and run the command "gnome-panel". They started up again fine ... I checked "Computer|Desktop Preferences|Sessions|Current Session" and scrolled down to confirm that "gnome-panel" has the Style "restart" ... so I stopped the command-line panels (by hitting ctrl-C in the terminal) and the panels vanished, and restarted happily. | 05:31 |

| alge | grub doesnt make very many distintions for different device types, like linux | 06:04 |
| melanie | eim: looks like | 06:04 |
| AnonBlonde | hellooo everyone | 06:04 |
| eim | melanie: dpkg --purge apache-1.3.33 (Or similiar). | 06:04 |
| AnonBlonde | i want to know when where the x.org will be put for warthy- | 06:05 |
| mamo_ | hello everybody | 06:05 |
| mamo_ | one question: | 06:05 |
| alge | everything is eigther an (hd) or and (fd) | 06:05 |
| alge | as far as I know | 06:05 |
| mamo_ | what are the differences between ubuntu and debian? | 06:05 |
| eim | AnonBlonde: AFAIK x.org is not yet available for Warty. | 06:05 |
| AnonBlonde | i've been updating apt-get everyday, just to see if they've replaced it | 06:05 |
| alge | mamo Ubuntu is a fork | 06:05 |
| AnonBlonde | eim: arent they replacing it | 06:05 |
| AnonBlonde | eim: so they can put it to repositories for the ones who want to try | 06:06 |
| Hitch-Hiker | AnonBlonde: it's in the new hoary release | 06:06 |
| AnonBlonde | or is there a way to try? | 06:06 |
| mamo_ | do they use quite all the deb that are used in debian | 06:06 |
| mamo_ | ? | 06:06 |
| gen_ | yea anonblonde, if you want to "try" stuff, go hoary | 06:06 |
| topyli | mamo_: support, regular releases, gnome-love, randy artwork | 06:06 |
| alge | not bound to the same - they use there own repositories so the packeage you install can be different from the Debian one | 06:06 |
| mamo_ | if I use ubuntu, can I use without problem all the deb package? | 06:06 |
| eim | AnonBlonde: Would be nice. But I think it's not yet available for Warty. | 06:07 |
| Hitch-Hiker | randy artwork ? where? :) | 06:07 |
| alge | they said the will releae bug - free every 6 months | 06:07 |
| unikum | how do i change from utf8 to iso-8859-1? | 06:07 |
| alge | not 2-3 years...maybee | 06:07 |
| topyli | mamo_: i wouldn't install glibc from debian. but some packages behave nicely. most of it is in ubuntu universe though | 06:07 |
| AnonBlonde | eim: actually xfree is the only thing that bugs me :) so i thought maybe, in a month or like, while they're updating packages they may also put the x.org binaries too | 06:07 |
| melanie | eim: i got rid of it. but it seems that apache 2.0 does not run right now. what do i have to do? | 06:08 |
| Hitch-Hiker | Don't think warty will get any new updates now except for security fixes | 06:08 |
| kristjan | anybody experienced in wireless access point configuration (WEP keys...) | 06:08 |
| eim | melanie: Try to remove and reinstall apache 2.0 -- This should add the init.d files correctly. | 06:08 |
| Hitch-Hiker | kristjan: I've experienced the pain ;) | 06:08 |
| topyli | Hitch-Hiker: heh. ubuntu-calendar, ubuntu circle gdm theme etc. it doesn't qualify as wery randy here in europe though =) | 06:08 |
| kristjan | Hitch-Hiker: don't scare me ;) | 06:08 |
| eim | AnonBlonde: What bugs you about XFree 4.3.0? | 06:09 |

| melanie | eim: and do you also know how to install mod-mono on this apache version? | 06:10 |
| kristjan | idirect q: if I set the 4 keys for wep, do i have to set all four the same in the client station? | 06:10 |
| eim | AnonBlonde: apt-get install msttcorefonts | 06:10 |
| topyli | Hitch-Hiker: you have to install them gdm-themes, ubuntu-calendar iirc | 06:10 |
| Hitch-Hiker | ok, ta. | 06:10 |
| Hitch-Hiker | thought I had | 06:10 |
| eim | melanie: No, idea sorry. Check mono on Debian's alioth (Search on Google about it). | 06:10 |

| eim | topyli: Is already drinking his daily beer. | 06:11 |
| alge | wel WEP only will use one of the four key formats, but they need to match across all devices | 06:11 |
| Hitch-Hiker | wep keys have to be the same on client and access point, I'm think | 06:11 |

| Hitch-Hiker | if it connects wirelessly then it has to have the same wep key | 06:12 |
| eim | melanie: What are you going to do with mod_mono? | 06:12 |

| (bob2/#ubuntu) KneelBeforeXorg: but asking "how do I suspend" means you're probably screwed already | 11:07 | |
| (KneelBeforeXorg/#ubuntu) bob2: I was using the dorkspeak to point out what a ridiculous response it is. They don't actually type like that. | 11:07 | |
| Matt| | Chibi, yeah guess so | 11:07 |
| aigarius | well I have a HP nx9005 and ACPI is working just fine here as soon as Local APIC is turned off (it hand on boot if that is on) | 11:07 |
| (KneelBeforeXorg/#ubuntu) bob2: but the general consensus is that ACPI doesn't *do* that sort of thing | 11:07 | |
| fissy | i can cope with command line btw, but i'm really trying to get this setup for a friend who can't | 11:07 |
| Matt| | aigarius, you had to turn it off by hand tho huh? | 11:07 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) KneelBeforeXorg: of course it does | 11:07 | |
| gen | what are your problems with gftp fissy | 11:07 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) KneelBeforeXorg: just not on broken laptops | 11:07 | |
| Matt| | aigarius, doesn't fix my prob sadly :( | 11:07 |
| aigarius | Matt|: no | 11:07 |
| (KneelBeforeXorg/#ubuntu) bob2: and "broken" seems to mean a vast majority | 11:08 | |
| Matt| | aigarius, really? | 11:08 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) KneelBeforeXorg: yes, it does | 11:08 | |

| Chibi | Debian kernel compiles are a bitch. :P | 11:08 |
| (KneelBeforeXorg/#ubuntu) all this is well and good | 11:08 | |
| (KneelBeforeXorg/#ubuntu) but why the hell do distros jump toward it when it doesn't *work*? | 11:08 | |
| aigarius | Matt|: this laptop has no APM only ACPI and if ACPI is compiled into kernel it all just works | 11:08 |
| baluba | gen, it's really, really handy, just a handfull of command to do everything. beside that gftp always gave me little problems | 11:08 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) "jump toward it"? | 11:08 | |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) most machines only support one or the other | 11:09 | |
| Matt| | aigarius, well here too, but i was simply saying that it doesn't on ubuntu | 11:09 |

| JStrike | Chibi : Would be great to find out how to get wine working | 11:16 |
| Lyresto | hello | 11:16 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) you need to do more than just install wine? | 11:16 | |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) then wine in Debian needs some bugs filed | 11:16 | |
| Chibi | bob2- Wine generally needs tweaking to do certain things. | 11:17 |
| JStrike | Well, clearly so | 11:17 |
| Chibi | Some people don't know that. | 11:17 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) why doesn't it do it automatically? | 11:17 | |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) do the wine people know this? | 11:17 | |
| Chibi | .... | 11:17 |
| Matt| | it is ubuntu-artwork which supplies the homepage still right? | 11:17 |
| mroth | hmm.. i have a brand new warty install that is freezing on boot. gets to "Ok, booting the kernel" and then nothing | 11:17 |
| Chibi | Yes. It's an ALPHA peice of software, and still highly expirimental. | 11:18 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) Matt|: it won't be changed in warty, I'd think | 11:18 | |
| Matt| | bob2, hoary? | 11:18 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) Chibi: yes, but can you give me an example of when/why it needs tweaking? | 11:18 | |
| JStrike | Wine (From WineHQ) is supposed to work out the box with an app I am trying to get running. So clearly the Ubuntu packagers are changing something in the config | 11:18 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) Matt|: I thought it'd been done already | 11:18 | |
| Matt| | the address is /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html, so i guess it's still that package | 11:18 |
| Chibi | When the program you're trying to run DOESN'T run. :P | 11:18 |
| mirak | why can't we do hardlinks on folders ? | 11:19 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) JStrike: so when you bulid it from upstream's source, it works fine? | 11:19 | |
| Chibi | JStrike- Nothing runs out of the box with a pre-compile wine, because you haven't set it up yet. | 11:20 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) mirak: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/sf/linux/2004-q2/0018.html | 11:20 | |
| Lyresto | why does the same DNS server lasts at least 30 seconds to resolve a name with ubuntu/firefox and less than a second with w98/firefox? | 11:20 |
| Chibi | Lyresto- Windows keeps a large archive of names for you per session. | 11:21 |
| Lyresto | Chibi, thanks | 11:21 |
| Chibi | Also the reason you have to reboot when someone changes an IP or nameserver. | 11:21 |

| (bob2/#ubuntu) Chibi: so does firefox | 11:21 | |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) Lyresto: does disabling ipv6 help? | 11:21 | |

| Lyresto | yes | 11:22 |
