| ramzez | i just installed cpufreq from synaptic it says in description it is speedstep applet clone | 01:01 |
| runixd | jessta, 2 gig should be enough | 01:01 |
| (HrdwrBoB/#ubuntu) 1.3gb | 01:01 | |

| Matt| | runixd, works fine here | 01:02 |
| runixd | ramzez, why there is cpufreq applet in ports | 01:02 |

| farruinn | runixd, good point | 01:03 |
| runixd | Matt|, df -h ? | 01:03 |
| ramzez | cause i there is an intel applet which shows you the current cpu and speedstep driver in windows works | 01:03 |

| cardador | Cloudchaser: its much easier if you use synaptic. its on computer > syst conf > synaptic | 01:55 |
| housetier | however when installing a package with "apt-get install" you need to use package names | 01:55 |
| farruinn | mike998, what does ls /dev/hdb* tell you? | 01:55 |
| jdub | Gmail: i was providing an overview of a recommended method to install hoary. please chill out. | 01:55 |
| mike998 | farruinn: I have also checked dmesg and it's not there | 01:55 |

| mike998 | farruinn : checking google now... | 01:57 |
| piyr | cardador: would it make sense to install gcc using synaptic so that i can compile the pdf->html program i found on sourceforge? | 01:57 |
| farruinn | mike998, you need to use mknod to create a new block device | 01:57 |

| Majestic|Linux | whats swap for? | 02:51 |
| thegnu | I've got the Samsung driver for the ML-1740, and it just won't let me do it | 02:52 |
| eruin | swap = slow replacement for ram | 02:52 |
| Faustus | In fact I was writing submissions on these problems when I go a gui freeze. The alt-cntrl-F1 didn't work, rage 128 doesn't have accel because it's deopth gets set wrong | 02:52 |
| Majestic|Linux | thanks | 02:52 |
| eruin | Majestic|Linux: generally having as much swapspace as you have ram is a good idea | 02:53 |
| Majestic|Linux | I have 256mb of ram and 620.12mb of swap | 02:53 |
| eruin | well, that's ok too ;) | 02:53 |

| Majestic|Linux | but really its 6.1gb, 6.1gb, and 7.1gb | 02:54 |
| Majestic|Linux | and 620.12mb for swap | 02:54 |
| Majestic|Linux | it just shows different | 02:54 |
| Majestic|Linux | but when I made the partition with Ubuntu it showed 6.1, 6.1, 7.1 and the rest for swap 620 or something | 02:54 |

| Majestic|Linux | but now I have qtparted open on MEPIS because i wanted to see it and it shows diff. its ok i noticed on my laptop 30gb shows 27gb on kanotix | 02:55 |

| zugwrack | Majestic: Yes that is what I mean...just make sure you have pre-partitioned your hard drive to allow for additional installs...depending on the bootloader (LILO,Grub) Each time you will add a line to tell it which partition the other images is on... | 03:01 |
| farruinn | eruin, no, because the way mol works macos actually runs on the processor itself | 03:01 |

| tyrano | seek187, its a known issue for the acpi with the asus, the battery status isnt read correctly. supposedly this patch can make it be read correctly but ive only had it work once http://m6n.ath.cx/aml_method_exec_hack.patch | 06:39 |
| mdz | volvoguy: depends entirely on what programs are running | 06:39 |
| tyrano | do you think the ubuntu developers would put it in? :) | 06:39 |
| tyrano | i think you can do the patch or something with something called "DSDT tables" | 06:39 |

| seek187 | tyrano, oh I see... I had a problem with my laptop not shutting down and I forced acpi but that probably wouldn't help | 06:40 |
| volvoguy | mdz: does /tmp get cleaned up during a reboot ? | 06:40 |
| mdz | volvoguy: yes | 06:40 |
| mdz | tyrano: is this the patch you mean? https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3379 | 06:40 |
| tyrano | well my cpu throttling doesnt work correctly either so i assume its an acpi problem | 06:40 |

| mdz | siimo: when I say it is answered in the FAQ, I mean that you will find the answer to your question by reading the FAQ | 06:42 |

| === joolz [~joolz@kiar.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| siimo | mdz, that does not say anything about enabling root account | 06:43 |
| mdz | siimo: yes it does | 06:43 |
| mdz | "Note that the root account does not have a password at all after the initial install. You can set the root password by typing sudo passwd root." | 06:43 |
| siimo | mdz, it only talks about setting a root password which doesnt necessarily mean the account will be enabled as it does not say that anywhere | 06:44 |
| (lamont/#ubuntu) mill: still around? | 06:44 | |
| siimo | if thats how you enable a root account then that faq should be fixed | 06:45 |

| siimo | well you tell me then would you understand that? if you were a new user? | 06:46 |
| mdz | siimo: perhaps you can suggest an alternative wording which would have made it more obvious | 06:46 |
| siimo | and i did read the faq | 06:46 |
| siimo | mdz, all im saying is - it should say somewhere that "by setting the root password the root account is enabled" ? | 06:47 |

| melazyboy | king_arthur: configuring x is probably the second most difficult thing to configure by hand if dpkg didn't cut it there isn't much the best can suggest, if it said no screens found you might have to set to a legacy version of your moniter and video card in your xfree86_4.conf or whatever it is called | 09:14 |
| king_arthur | anyway, Debian is no different dog than xserver | 09:14 |
| melazyboy | king_arthur: try running the command startx, and use its logging fetures to see what burned | 09:15 |

| sid77 | Captain, you can always run yum -C after the first header dl ;) | 09:50 |

I also had, not too much setting my rinter up with ubuntu and I think I had my usb scanner working too (even a problem on debian sarge and woody). | 09:52 |

| topyli | you should see a finlandized user interface :) | 11:38 |

| topyli | i don't think you'll see a finnish interface on finnish debian hackers' laptops though =) | 11:39 |

| topyli | yes | 11:41 |
| calc | ah :) | 11:41 |
| topyli | but primarily, i'm just used to machines speaking english. the finnish translations are not bad, but the vocabulary is alien to me :) | 11:42 |

| (whiprush/#ubuntu) yeah hoary also | 01:16 | |
| (whiprush/#ubuntu) i386 only for now though. | 01:17 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) Gmail: no, I said I tried and failed | 01:17 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) Gmail: I imagine that were I to try for hoary I would similarly try and fail; since it's universe, I don't generally get to work on it during paid hours | 01:18 | |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) Gmail: I beg your pardon? | 01:20 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) we're not supporting it therefore it's not in main | 01:20 | |
| Gmail | isn't the reason why you are not supporting it because you can't get it to work | 01:20 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) no, it's because we don't feel it should be necessary | 01:21 | |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) my discovery that I couldn't easily get it to work was well after the decisions about warty package lists were made | 01:21 | |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) besides we do not feel that such a solution is good for users; it's much better if it just works with no configuration, and you should file a bug when things don't work out of the box | 01:22 | |

| king_arthur | Gmail: one you got from me.. | 01:40 |
| daniels | Gmail: the following are immensely bad ideas -- a) bitching loudly in #ubuntu about it, b) abusing him, whether to his face or not, c) continually being irritating | 01:40 |
| Gmail | bugzilla is loaded very slowly like its been slashdotted | 01:40 |

| (bob2/#ubuntu) Gmail: also naming yourself after a webmail service which you have nothing to do with is a bit silly and annoying | 01:41 | |
| Tsjoklat | daniels, we spoke the other day about UTF-8 and you adviced me, or Kamion, to add ISO in the locale.gen | 01:41 |
| Gmail | i use gmail and my uculs.... works at Google | 01:41 |
| Tsjoklat | daniels, this is causing me problems now... for example with gthumb and desktop background | 01:42 |
| Gmail | i guess i have something to do with it | 01:42 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) Gmail: yes, but you don't ACTUALLY have anything to do with it | 01:42 | |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) yep, agreed | 01:45 | |
| Tsjoklat | daniels, where would you like me to do that? | 01:45 |
| daniels | Tsjoklat: if you don't have web space somewhere, you could email it to daniel.stone@canonical.com and cjwatson@canonical.com | 01:45 |
| jordi | jdub: saw the mail? Do you think anything else is needed? | 01:45 |
| Gmail | its a blocker as with out it you need to fix modconf and you will never do that | 01:45 |

| Tsjoklat | alright... do you need the enviroment one too daniels? | 01:46 |
| daniels | Tsjoklat: these sorts of things are notoriously difficult to sort out, so as many exact details as possible will always help :) | 01:46 |
| daniels | Gmail: no, it's severity normal. ubuntu is not useless without it. | 01:46 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) Gmail: we'll downgrade if you file it at blocker | 01:46 | |

| (bob2/#ubuntu) jordi: yes | 02:04 | |
| jordi | ok | 02:04 |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) daniels: there's a few ALSA modules in there too, but yeah | 02:05 | |
| daniels | Gmail: goodnight | 02:05 |
| cenerentola | daniels: i had some problems with warty security upgrades, after a synaptic smart upgrade && rebooting, gdm started in 640*480 | 02:05 |
| daniels | Kamion: right, I'll ALSAify it today | 02:05 |
| cenerentola | gmail: goodnight | 02:05 |
| daniels | Kamion: just doing battle royale with l-r-m right now | 02:05 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) daniels: 'course, we're probably ditching it for PCI modules for hoary, but still :) | 02:05 | |
| daniels | Kamion: heh | 02:05 |
| daniels | Kamion: we're hotplugging hoary, yeah? | 02:06 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) yeah | 02:06 | |
| cenerentola | daniels: when before it was 1200*800 or something like that... | 02:06 |
| daniels | cenerentola: did you change your configuration by hand before? | 02:06 |

| jordi | daniels, Kamion: is ubuntu using alsa-base at all? | 02:06 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) jordi: we are | 02:06 | |
| daniels | bob2: dnbr | 02:06 |
| jordi | Kamion: and discover? | 02:06 |
| cenerentola | daniels: no but i used NVIDIA BINARies | 02:06 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) daniels: hm, modules.pcimap lists both snd-intel8x0 and i810_audio for 808624d5; what happens? | 02:06 | |
| jordi | err, discover1 or discover2? | 02:07 |
| Gmail | is it possible for asus to provided the modules needed | 02:07 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) jordi: discover1 | 02:07 | |
| daniels | cenerentola: so you changed your configuration ... | 02:07 |
| jordi | nod | 02:07 |
| daniels | Kamion: phase of the moon, surely? | 02:07 |
| jordi | maybe it's the old alsa-base package that didn't have the discover1 blacklist. We added that more or less recently | 02:07 |
| daniels | Kamion: whichever one gets loaded first claims, and the other loses | 02:07 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) Gmail: modprobe -r i810_audio; modprobe snd-intel8x0 | 02:07 | |
| daniels | Gmail: no | 02:07 |
| daniels | Gmail: if you execute the commands Kamion just told you, you should get working sound | 02:07 |
| cenerentola | daniels: could you please help me finding out the problem so i can write a little text to avoid this problems | 02:08 |
| jordi | if he removes the snd-intel8x0 module and sound kept working, it looks like OSS captured the hw to me | 02:08 |
| cenerentola | *s | 02:08 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) jordi: seems to me that it's not so much a discover1 blacklist that's needed as a list of replacements | 02:08 | |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) daniels: nice | 02:08 | |
| jordi | Kamion: aha. Well, that if you complete want to rule out OSS. | 02:08 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) jordi: we have 1.0.5a-1ubuntu6 in warty, 1.0.6a-11 in hoary | 02:09 | |
| jordi | I have a via82xx myself that isn't that new anymore and still only works with OSS | 02:09 |
| jordi | and this guy was using hoary? | 02:09 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) jordi: doubt it | 02:09 | |

| Gmail | yes | 02:09 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) jordi: do you have a hotplug blacklist too? | 02:09 | |
| jordi | ok, that makes things complicated. | 02:09 |
| jordi | Kamion: yes | 02:09 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) jordi: never mind, I just saw it in the changelog | 02:10 | |
| Gmail | sound only worked in debian thanks to modconf | 02:10 |
| jordi | we're only missing discover2, becuase they added the discover.conf.d thing just yesterday or so. | 02:10 |
| daniels | jordi: really? i have a via8233 and it works fine with alsa | 02:10 |
| jordi | and it's going to be not-so-trivial to add that blacklist. They chose to make simple things complicated. | 02:10 |
| jordi | daniels: it's just a very specific revision of the chip | 02:10 |
| jordi | I two other via82xx soundcards elsewhere and they work just ok. | 02:11 |

| cenerentola | graphics are not well defined... | 02:27 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) jordi: right, but it's interesting for people who haven't installed yet too | 02:27 | |
| the_one | how does the update-manager behave if I leave the universe repositories enabled? Will it mess with important stuff? Upgrading from where it shouldn't? | 02:28 |
| robertj | is there a gui option planned for "transparently take care of all my updates" | 02:28 |
| robertj | the_one: I think it just does a dist-upgrade | 02:28 |
| jdub | robertj: not transparently | 02:29 |
| the_one | robertj: is it ok if I left the universe repositories enabled? | 02:29 |
| robertj | yeah but it's going to get upgraded | 02:29 |
| robertj | so if that's okay... | 02:29 |
| robertj | jdub: why not? | 02:29 |
| === tritium [rimbert@pal-168-231.itap.purdue.edu] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| the_one | maybe I don't need the update-manager yet.. | 02:30 |
| jdub | robertj: because no one's proposed doing it, and thus far we just have notifications of updates. | 02:30 |
| robertj | I was thinking it was just shying away from system breakage | 02:30 |
| robertj | security updates would probably need to be tagged so that there could be different update configs | 02:31 |
| robertj | most users would probably only want to update things that opened themselves up for remote exploits | 02:32 |
| jordi | Kamion: nod | 02:32 |
| cenerentola | jdub: who's/are the wiki mantainer/s? | 02:33 |
| jdub | robertj: security updates are in a different component | 02:33 |
| jdub | cenerentola: no one in particular | 02:33 |
| robertj | jdub: really? | 02:33 |
| jdub | robertj: yes | 02:33 |
| cenerentola | jdub: because ive got some probs with the account | 02:34 |
| === robertj scratches head. Stable repos get frozen, so only security updates are issued. Update manager doesn't handle security updates, so it pulls from the frozen repos which don't every have any updates? | ||
| jdub | robertj: update manager lists all udpates available | 02:35 |
| === agenteo [~agenteo@84.222.59.39] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| robertj | jdub: so does ubuntu do non-security based updates to stable repositories? | 02:35 |
| robertj | I guess it's good for third party software | 02:35 |
| jdub | no | 02:35 |
| jdub | there's warty, warty-security and warty-updates | 02:35 |
| jdub | although we're not using -updates for warty for various reasons | 02:35 |
| cenerentola | ok.. ive installed ubuntu on a m30, it has a nvidia fx go5200, what driver should i use? | 02:35 |
| robertj | ohh, so warty-updates is kinda the backports.org of Ubuntu? | 02:36 |
| jdub | no | 02:36 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) cenerentola: nv, which will be selected automatically | 02:36 | |
| jdub | we don't do that at all | 02:36 |
| jdub | warty-updates is non-security updates, generally important bugfixes, etc. | 02:36 |

| jdub | the_one: warty uses d-i | 02:37 |

| robertj | ahh | 02:38 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) Qo-noS: hoary already is, roughly | 02:39 | |
| Qo-noS | ahh | 02:39 |
| cenerentola | http://pastebin.com/122980 | 02:39 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) the_one: we merge regularly from Debian sid up until our upstream version freeze; after that we cherry-pick updates as required | 02:39 | |

| the_one | qo-noS: yes | 02:39 |

| (bob2/#ubuntu) cenerentola: sorry, don't know enough about x to help | 02:39 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) the_one: hoary already has some fairly radical changes from d-i though | 02:39 | |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) (and at work atm) | 02:40 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) robertj: it was hardly smacked down | 02:40 | |
| robertj | really? | 02:40 |
| Qo-noS | the_one: you have the answer now from kamion ;) | 02:40 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) robertj: we just didn't have time to commit to doing it for hoary | 02:40 | |
| the_one | Qo-noS: thanks m8 | 02:40 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) robertj: it's a huge job, six months is too short when other major changes have to happen too | 02:40 | |
| cenerentola | bob2:anyway, thanks a lot | 02:40 |
| robertj | It doesn't seem to matter much. The supposed-experts at OSNews have got other favorited targets of derision. | 02:40 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) the reviews of warty's installer have been pretty positive in general | 02:41 | |
| kent | Kamion, will the up2date-kind of program be shipped with Hoary? I think i've seen a screenshot on planet.gnome about that. It looks very good. | 02:41 |
| robertj | Yeah, I've been real pleased. Except for the hostname thing (which we talked about earlier), and the partitioning, I don't think it could get any easier | 02:41 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) kent: no idea, I don't do desktop stuff | 02:41 | |
| the_one | what do you guys think of autopackage? it first sounded great, but I didn't hear anything about it since months. | 02:42 |
| cenerentola | who does know when mozilla thunderbird will be released? | 02:42 |
| === holycow [~yada@S0106002078ccd651.vf.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| kent | Kamion, i managed to get my brother install warty on his computer (over the phone) and he is not realy a geek, so the warty installer is not that bad. | 02:42 |
| robertj | And, the partitioning step actually takes a little bit of understanding to do without screwing stuff up. | 02:42 |
| cenerentola | ..sorry i mean mt 1... | 02:42 |
| robertj | And if your willing to screw stuff up it is easy enough to nuake it and install | 02:42 |
| robertj | but my wife was quite confused about all this "Slave Business" | 02:43 |

| the_one | there are so many redhat fans that switched to fedora after the discontinuation of the redhat desktop, and they are so pationatelly defending fedora.

| robertj | But the development process lagged in getting the community involved | 02:48 |
| robertj | Anaconda is a great installer but the lack of a common upgrade processes is a major flaw | 02:49 |
| robertj | you can use yum and apt to upgrade but it's not really supported or tested | 02:49 |

| gnobody | Ill try that | 03:25 |

| kandinski | I want to install whatever debian, sarge or ubuntu | 03:25 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) netmonk: ? | 03:25 | |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) kandinski: they can all install using PXE | 03:25 | |
| kandinski | yes | 03:25 |
| kandinski | but I need to use ubuntu to boot it | 03:25 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) why? | 03:26 | |
| kandinski | because I don t know enough debian to set up a server myeslf | 03:26 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) your hardware doesn't support PXE? | 03:26 | |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) oh, you don't have a server at all | 03:26 | |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) how could you boot anything then? | 03:27 | |
| kandinski | ok: | 03:27 |
| kandinski | my tablet pc only boots off pxe. I don't know how to set up a server, so I usually do it via knoppix, but its kernel does not recognize my disk well. if ubuntu carries a preset pxe bootserver (as knoppix does) I would like to try it, as I think it recognizes my hardware. | 03:28 |

| (bob2/#ubuntu) how do you boot *anything* on it? | 03:29 | |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) you don't have a pxe server | 03:30 | |
| kandinski | so that is why I ask whether ubuntu carries PXE server | 03:30 |
| kandinski | as knoppix does | 03:30 |
| kandinski | pc+knoppix==pxe server, just not good enough | 03:30 |
| kandinski | so my question is: | 03:31 |
| kandinski | pc+ubuntu==pxe server? (then I find out if it is good enough) | 03:31 |
| (sladen/#ubuntu) kandinski: that's a good idea. Could you file a WISHLIST item on bugzilla.ubuntu.com ? | 03:31 | |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) queuetue: b) varies | 04:07 | |

| queuetue | jdub, completely. I'll agree it's better than the years that debian trails moden distros, but 6 months is forever in open source development... And still on xfree86 - you're like a year behind many distros there. | 04:12 |
| daniels | queuetue: are you suggesting that we release every day? | 04:13 |
| jdub | queuetue: six months for a stable, supported release is better than every other distro. | 04:13 |
| jdub | queuetue: we chose not to go with xorg for our first release because there was so much else to do -> we chose stability over freshness. | 04:13 |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) queuetue: I'm serious; I'm amazed you're expecting releases more than every six months to be quality *and* for us to get anything else done ... | 04:14 | |
| jdub | queuetue: it's hard enough stabilising and supporting a distro released every six months. :-) | 04:14 |
| queuetue | Kamion, a lot of other distros maintain a stable platform and also release packages as they pass testing. | 04:15 |
| daniels | queuetue: that's what hoary is for -- it's our development branch. | 04:15 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) queuetue: X.org doesn't actually provide much new yet anyway; we backported most of the driver patches to XFree86. | 04:15 | |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) the first is "doesn't crash", the second is "doesn't change" | 04:16 | |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) the bulk of problems with hoary will be on upgrade | 04:17 | |

| (lamont/#ubuntu) Kamion: the liveCD contains ~80-100MB of WinFOSS, which could certainly go. | 04:31 | |
| wood1 | Just like Thunderbird | 04:31 |
| (lamont/#ubuntu) but it's at 646MB, of the 650 permitted | 04:31 | |
| xukun | davmor2, ist an old pc? | 04:31 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) lamont: true, but that's a big feature to lose ... | 04:31 | |
| daniels | lamont: ah, dude! | 04:31 |
| jdub | wood1: for anything other than pop, yes. | 04:31 |

| daniels | lamont: do we have any ia64 boxes set up I could get an X test build spinning 'round on? | 04:32 |
| jdub | wood1: but pop comes in to your local box | 04:32 |
| davmor2 | xukun amd athlon 2000xp self built | 04:32 |
| kandinski | what is WinFOSS? | 04:32 |
| xukun | bob2, no I,m not, its just that I had the same problem with my pc, and you told me to add that module | 04:32 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) kandinski: at the same time, we couldn't possibly do what we're doing without Debian; no way could we have written the installer ourselves, for example | 04:32 | |
| jdub | kandinski: windows free software apps | 04:32 |
| jdub | debian is our ROCK | 04:33 |
| xukun | davmor2, then I dont think you need that module | 04:33 |

| Tsjoklat | waa | 04:41 |
| zenwhen | to* | 04:41 |

| zenwhen | l | 04:41 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) as I believe has been mentioned before :) | 04:41 | |
| (lamont/#ubuntu) sladen: korean fonts will give you about 14MB more.. :-) | 04:41 | |
| RubenV | ACEa: it fits together | 04:41 |
| Tsjoklat | heaps of them | 04:42 |
| zenwhen | lmarf | 04:42 |
| davmor2 | can any one tell me please how do I remove a module and do I need to reconfigure if so how? | 04:42 |
| Tsjoklat | :) | 04:42 |
| (sladen/#ubuntu) lamont: another option would be only shipping the Win32 on the pressed-CDs, where 80-85 minute CD aren't a problem | 04:42 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) Tsjoklat: unlikely to be lots of them, just a couple of things that manifest in lots of places | 04:42 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) sladen: you suggested that for install CDs, too ... I'd advance the same argument against :) | 04:42 | |
| Tsjoklat | ok correction: it has heaps of issues in lots of places | 04:42 |
| (lamont/#ubuntu) sladen: these CD's are pressed CD's. and the limit was 650MB... Using bigger CD's is certainly an option.. | 04:42 | |

| krischan | bob2: Well, I recently updated Ubuntu from Warty to Hoary over a root console, besides that I always use 'sudo'. | 04:44 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) sladen: I think the main point is: surely you don't propose that the first testing of the actual live CD as released should be with a pressed CD? :) | 04:44 | |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) kandinski: it's a live CD, so it's the sort of thing you take with you to demonstrate stuff | 04:48 | |
| daniels | kandinski: get people who don't want to jump over to ubuntu just yet introduced to open source products like firefox and openoffice | 04:48 |

| kandinski | ok, so you can demonstrate interoperation and that | 04:49 |
| zenwhen | The thought is that getting a taste of open source software and becoming aclimated to using it will make the transition to linux easier. | 04:49 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) kandinski: since applications are what real people *actually* care about | 04:49 | |
| krischan | bob2: I just checked how many GDMs I have running by 'ps waux | grep gdm'. There apperas to be running to times '/usr/bin/gdm'. Could that be the problem? | 04:49 |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) right | 04:49 | |

| kent | bob, yes. im root. i used sudo -l | 06:00 |
| Moof | cos I'm tryign to build a samba file server. And it serves files with spanish file names. | 06:01 |
| dimgr | how is ubuntu different than other debian distros? | 06:01 |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) Moof: that should be fine | 06:01 | |
| (bob2/#ubuntu) dimgr: 6 month release cycle, employs the best debian people around | 06:01 | |
| Moof | Samba 3 supports unicode translation, but I'd like to keep it all in utf-8, as it makes life easier all round, especially if I upgrade it to hary in 6 months' time | 06:01 |

| (bob2/#ubuntu) micsch: yes | 06:14 | |

| (bob2/#ubuntu) and the first user had physical access to the machine | 06:14 | |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) yeah | 07:05 | |
| FTTP | i saw the debian sarge one that just came out | 07:05 |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) FTTP: I don't understand how the manner in which Windows is booted could possibly affect its performance | 07:10 | |
| FTTP | kamion it did tho | 07:11 |
| FTTP | could be a microsoft thing | 07:11 |
| FTTP | intentional who knows | 07:11 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) perhaps something to do with drive ordering | 07:11 | |
| FTTP | kamion: Its not just slowness, it also with some linux distro kills the file | 07:11 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) FTTP: compare bug #1527 | 07:11 | |
| FTTP | so windows tries to load and cant | 07:11 |
| FTTP | this happened multiple times | 07:12 |
| FTTP | theres definitely an issue | 07:12 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) FTTP: "it also with some linux distro kills the file" => the grammar there is bad enough that I can't understand it I'm afraid | 07:12 | |
| eruin | looks like xorg have had trouble with their cvs | 07:12 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) or unclear enough, or something :) | 07:12 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) FTTP: those are likely to be unrelated problems FYI | 07:13 | |
| FTTP | kamion: In other words ill load up and it will be missing the file | 07:13 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) FTTP: what file? | 07:13 | |
| FTTP | kamion: some file in /system32/ | 07:13 |
| FTTP | in windows | 07:13 |
| FTTP | its prolly a windows bug | 07:14 |
| FTTP | but | 07:14 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) uh, that means the filesystem is corrupted, it's definitely nothing to do with the bootloader | 07:14 | |
| FTTP | microsoft wont fix it, they dont want to work with linux | 07:14 |
| FTTP | no | 07:14 |
| gen | yeah i was about to say that | 07:14 |
| FTTP | file system is fine | 07:14 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) or some other problem | 07:14 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) I'm absolutely certain that this is not the bootloader | 07:14 | |
| FTTP | kamion: It only happens when i install linux | 07:14 |
| FTTP | kamion: Its prolly a microsoft intentional ploy so i wouldnt use linux | 07:14 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) yes, but installing Linux does all sorts of things | 07:14 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) no, most people don't have this problem | 07:14 | |
| FTTP | kamion: I have a dell 8300 system | 07:15 |
| FTTP | there is no problems with filesystem | 07:15 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) that doesn't mean an awful lot to me I'm afraid | 07:15 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) filesystems are totally independent of who you bought the machine from | 07:15 | |
| gen | it's a dell, what more is there to say | 07:15 |
| kent | You could let windows keep the MBR and boot from a floppy. | 07:15 |
| FTTP | kamion: My file system is fine, it only gets corrupted when i install linux | 07:15 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) grub-install '(hd0)' is certainly a possibility | 07:15 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) FTTP: I was suggesting that the process of looking at the Windows partition in Linux might be corrupting something | 07:16 | |
| FTTP | kamion i dont know | 07:16 |

| FTTP | kamion: right | 07:19 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) all I have to go on is your comment that you've tracked the problem down to a missing file | 07:19 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) "so i | 07:19 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) had to run a chkdsk /p and it found and corrected errors" | 07:19 | |
| FTTP | ok so whats the next diagnostic step? | 07:19 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) that's from your bug report! | 07:19 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) you've *said* that the filesystem had problems | 07:19 | |
| FTTP | kamion: errr let me rephrase that | 07:20 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) and you've said that correcting those with the chkdsk tool fixed the problem | 07:20 | |
| FTTP | the file system was not corrupted TILL i installed linux | 07:20 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) ok, I got that, that's perfectly clear | 07:20 | |
| FTTP | before i installed linux i checked my filesystems | 07:20 |

| FTTP | ok now that its clear | 07:20 |
| FTTP | what can the problem be? | 07:20 |
| FTTP | and how can i diagnose it further? | 07:21 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) FTTP: I understand the following: your system was fine before you installed Linux; the process of installation broke the Windows filesystem; running the Windows filesystem repair tools fixed the issue | 07:21 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) FTTP: you said that you reinstalled the Windows MBR; did you try to boot Windows from grub *before* reinstalling the MBR? | 07:21 | |
| FTTP | kamion: Right but only when there is no grub | 07:21 |
| FTTP | yes | 07:21 |
| FTTP | and i had issues | 07:22 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) of course, booting Windows recovery console to repair might break the installed bootloader *shrug* | 07:22 | |
| FTTP | no | 07:22 |
| FTTP | wait now im confused | 07:22 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) *you're* confused? | 07:22 | |
| FTTP | i did not boot windows recovery console to repair BEFORE i installed the bootloader | 07:22 |
| FTTP | i repaired it AFTER it did not work | 07:23 |
| FTTP | after i had problems in Linux | 07:23 |
| Gwildor|work | just drop the M$ install......problem solved....hehe | 07:23 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) I think you need to go back, reproduce the problem again, and check out much more clearly whether it's a broken filesystem or a broken bootloader; the two issues are far too mixed together right now. | 07:23 | |
| FTTP | kamion: | 07:23 |
| FTTP | kamion: How can we tell? | 07:23 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) well, you can try booting after repairing one but not touching the other | 07:24 | |
| FTTP | Kamion: isnt it odd tho that the windows bootloader works 100% fine from the getgo | 07:27 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) my main problem with reports about problems coexisting with Windows is that I can't reproduce any of them myself | 07:27 | |
| FTTP | i dont know if its a microsoft glitch | 07:27 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) FTTP: doesn't boot Linux though does it? | 07:27 | |
| FTTP | cause they intentionally cause problems | 07:27 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) FTTP: apply Occam's Razor | 07:27 | |
| FTTP | i should just remove windows, and see if it happens with linux | 07:27 |
| Gwildor|work | yeah | 07:27 |
| FTTP | i can disconnect my windows hd right? | 07:27 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) FTTP: a conspiracy is not the simplest solution, therefore you should eliminate it from consideration | 07:27 | |
| FTTP | without deleting the files | 07:27 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) sure | 07:28 | |
| gwak | FTTP: are you putting everything on /dev/hda ? | 07:28 |
| FTTP | ok i will try that | 07:28 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) might have device ordering issues | 07:28 | |
| Gwildor|work | just during bois check, youll be able to pass by | 07:28 |
| gwak | FTTP: nevermind -- i see you have multiple drives | 07:28 |
| FTTP | kamion: microoft unfortunately does that, like make word not compatible with wordperfect, etc.... make windows xp sp2 not compatible with linux in bootloader is a possibility im sorry to say | 07:28 |
| FTTP | kamion cant be ruled out | 07:28 |
| FTTP | it may not be that, but u cant rule it out | 07:29 |
| daniels | i would be exceptionally, incredibly, surprised | 07:29 |

| kensai | FTTP, just disconnect the windows drive and install the other and then reconnect again, also it might help that the drive where you are going to install linux is /dev/hda so it is master | 07:29 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) possible, but now you're conflating yet a third layer | 07:29 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) after conflating filesystems and bootloaders | 07:30 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) keep things separate, it's much easier | 07:30 | |

| kent | ironwolf, the Ubuntu people is the one to judge if its a bug or not. They can either make it so that it appear in the menu or not, | 07:40 |

| FTTP | had to deselect that | 07:43 |
| FTTP | ok lets see here | 07:43 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) xuzo_: the dependencies of ubuntu-desktop are intended to be rather strict | 07:43 | |
| keknehv | How do I exit gdm without turning off a computer? | 07:43 |
| xuzo_ | Kamion: why not to provide a virtual package for the editor? | 07:44 |

| FTTP | anything to you? | 07:44 |
| gwak | FTTP: as <Kamion> said its not needed for grub -- do not save anyting | 07:44 |
| keknehv | how do I close gdm? | 07:44 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) xuzo_: the point of ubuntu-desktop is to give you exactly the set of packages that make up the Ubuntu desktop | 07:44 | |
| FTTP | gwak right but what does it mean? :) | 07:44 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) xuzo_: you're perfectly free to install other packages and if necessary to remove ubuntu-desktop | 07:44 | |
| gwak | to me the important issue is the partition(1) entry | 07:45 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) xuzo_: and, of course, there *is* a virtual package called 'editor' | 07:45 | |
| keknehv | how can I safely close gdm without turning off my computer? | 07:45 |
| gwak | which says its on /dev/hda1 | 07:45 |
| xuzo_ | Kamion: what package? I cant find it | 07:45 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) xuzo_: uh ... it's *virtual* | 07:45 | |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) xuzo_: most editor packages have "Provides: editor" in their control file; that's what a virtual package means | 07:46 | |
| gwak | FTTP: thanks for looking -- i just wanted to understand you windows partitioning scheme better | 07:46 |
| xuzo_ | Kamion: i agree that ubuntu-desktop should provide a default desktop. But making ubuntu-desktop dependant on "editor" should be a good think :) | 07:47 |
| xuzo_ | there are a lot of vim-people out there | 07:48 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) xuzo_: that's not the point of ubuntu-desktop, and in any case ubuntu-base already depends on vim | 07:48 | |
| gwak | <xuzo_> hell yea | 07:48 |
| (Kamion/#ubuntu) xuzo_: you are *perfectly free* to install additional editor packages | 07:48 | |
| FTTP | gwak: ive had issues with bootloaders since the early days of linux | 07:49 |
| xuzo_ | ok ok. I am not flaming, only making a suggestion :) | 07:49 |

| (Kamion/#ubuntu) rewrites are generally a reduction in quality at least to start with, since they haven't had the benefit of accumulated bug-fixes | 07:50 | |
| FTTP | gwak it could be due to hardware | 07:50 |

| wood1 | Ok thanks to all | 08:53 |
| hypa7ia | IamMoo: try noacpi as a boot option | 08:53 |
| IamMoo | whats that mean | 08:54 |
| IamMoo | i'm very new at this | 08:54 |
| IamMoo | =\ | 08:54 |
| hypa7ia | IamMoo: doesn't try and use acpi.... it's a new hardware thingy that sometimes moofs installs | 08:54 |
| wood1 | Where would I be without all of you ? Thank god that there is this Chat Room for Ubuntu | 08:54 |
| IamMoo | and how would i go about doing this hypa7ia | 08:54 |
| hypa7ia | IamMoo: when you boot you can enter options | 08:55 |
| wood1 | I will see you all a few minutes later after a Reboot | 08:55 |

| gen | how do i get wastebasket back to bottom right corner eh, accidentally removed it | 08:55 |
| IamMoo | so do i just type noacpi? | 08:55 |
| hypa7ia | i think so, IamMoo... if you hit F2 or F3 you can read about the boot options | 08:56 |
| hypa7ia | when you're booting that is | 08:56 |
| IamMoo | ok | 08:56 |
| hypa7ia | gen: does right-clicking on the area get you "add to panel" | 08:56 |
| gen | no, because there is no space to the right of the workspace switcher anymore | 08:56 |
| gen | i would know how if there was, because i have the trash temporarily at the top because i added it | 08:57 |
| gen | but not knowing how to get it back to the bottom right | 08:57 |

| topyli | warty is in a very good shape it seems. only security fixes, no bad bugs. nothing i'm used to in debian unstable and mandrake :) | 11:51 |
| ajmitch_ | topyli: not too bad for a first release, is it? | 11:53 |
| will_ | Nivlem they have a tarball | 11:53 |
