| eruin | shingoki: as in, you can't patent software in EU like you can in US | 01:03 |
| eruin | my bad | 01:03 |
| ogra | shingoki: you have to load the kernel module and log out and in again...to be sure its loaded you could also reboot | 01:03 |
| shingoki | eruin: Patent thing is coming here too, the European Commission will push it through, they don't care that it has been democratically and analyticallyrejected | 01:03 |
| shingoki | ogra: I'm just trying a reboot now | 01:03 |
| eruin | shingoki: ohwell, thank god we're not a EU member | 01:03 |
| shingoki | eruin: The reason why decss may be (is?) illegal in the US is the DMCA, since it is a "copyright circumvention device" or some such lame thing, that is what the EUCD does for Europe, except that the EUCD is even worse than the DMCA, especially the way the UK plan to implement it | 01:03 |
| shingoki | eruin: Which country? | 01:03 |
| ogra | shingoki: followed all four points ? | 01:03 |
| eruin | shingoki: norway | 01:03 |
| shingoki | ogra: Yup... let me see how it goes after reboot | 01:03 |
| ogra | shingoki: k | 01:03 |
| shingoki | eruin: You;d better hope your government doesn't decide it wants reasonable trading relations with the US, or probably the EU soon, they will use them to force you into similar laws, as has been done with Australia, not that Australia is exactly a beacon of liberty anyway | 01:03 |

| eruin | shingoki: we've had a supreme court ruling that "copyright circumvention" for the purpose of enabling playback/usage on non-standard user devices is perfectly legal | 01:03 |
| shingoki | eruin: That will probably last as long as a snowball in hell, but good luck to you guys, I like norway :) I might find myself over there soon if things keep going the way they are ;) | 01:03 |
| diego | ogra: hmm, it still doesn't want to start. maybe i should try the nvidia accelerated graphics? | 01:03 |
| ogra | diego: hmm, nv should work | 01:03 |
| d-b | Is there a modem query utility installed in Warty by default? | 01:03 |
| eruin | shingoki: yeah, I know, the european economic something treaty... they try forcing us in lots of cases, but we stil have veto. | 01:03 |
| ogra | d-b: you mean wvdial ? its handled by the network tool in your computer menu | 01:03 |
| eruin | I'll move to india the day we join the EU :p | 01:03 |
| shingoki | eruin: Eventually it will get through. The US companies that are the prime motivators behind all this IP crap don't win unless they force us all into copy-cat laws. If any countries stand up and ignore software patents, they actually reap huge benefits for themselves. This is why it is so strange that EU etc. are adopting these laws - but of course the reason is industry lobbying | 01:03 |
| d-b | ogra: It doesn't go well with my modem. | 01:03 |

| shingoki | eruin: If norway ignores software patents, you guys can all just use free software and get the benefits of that. When you invent something cool, go and patent it in the US, and you still get protected there, and get to sell in a huge market - its the perfect situation for Norwegians | 01:03 |

| d-b | d-b: yeah. on /dev/ttyS1 | 01:03 |
| eruin | shingoki: obviously they do, yeah. I don't think anyone here is willing to let that happen in any way, though | 01:09 |
| shingoki | ok... so looks like boot has stopped after "starting hotplug system"... I'm guessing this is just before X starts? | 01:09 |
| ogra | d-b: sure its S1 ? S0 is the first one normally | 01:09 |
| imi | does the power consumption of a laptop depend on whether a graphical interface is running or not? | 01:09 |
| eruin | right, back to my paper :) | 01:09 |

| d-b | oops | 01:09 |
| d-b | S0 | 01:09 |
| ogra | d-b: ah | 01:09 |
| shingoki | eruin: We aren't either - our only democratic representatives in the EU, the europarl, voted strongly against SW patents, but we will get them anyway. Perhaps a similar thing will happen in norway. You see not many people know or care anything about SW patents, so it is fairly easy for a government to push through, for whatever little kickbacks they get (not necessarily bribes, but there must be some nice presents the US can g | 01:09 |
| imi | __daniel, the battery i'm talking about ran 1:45 hours without x. how long would it make it with a gui? what do you think? | 01:09 |

| shingoki | D0wnXcaST: If you can get one, a nice cable modem with ethernet connection and built in firewall would be a nice thing to have and a lot easier to set up ;) | 01:32 |
| D0wnXcaST | ok, my modem as the 2 option, usb or ethernet. would it be easier for me if i use the ehternet port instead of usb? | 01:33 |
| Agrajag | yes | 01:33 |
| Satz_AFK | oh yeah | 01:33 |
| Agrajag | why the hell would you use usb, that's horrible | 01:33 |
| Satz_AFK | way easier | 01:33 |
| D0wnXcaST | Agrajag: because i used my ethernet card for my xbox | 01:33 |
| D0wnXcaST | anyway, i'll unplug it and use it for internet | 01:35 |
| shingoki | Agrajag: The USB adsl modem I have was free, it works well, and it's plugged into a smoothwall which I trust way more than a combined ADSL-firewall router | 01:35 |

| D0wnXcaST | LinuxJones>: sure, i can | 01:35 |
| LinuxJones | D0wnXcaST, do that and reboot :) | 01:35 |
| D0wnXcaST | ok | 01:35 |
| shingoki | D0wnXcaST: How do you use an ethernet card for xbox? You mean you used a patch cable to link pc to xbox, and shared pc connection with xbox? | 01:35 |
| D0wnXcaST | yes | 01:35 |
| D0wnXcaST | thats it | 01:35 |
| shingoki | D0wnXcaST: Ah, in that case what you need is a switch, you should get one ;) | 01:35 |
| Agrajag | just get another NIC | 01:35 |
| Agrajag | no | 01:35 |
| D0wnXcaST | linuxjones, in a few minutes, ill do what you said, plus modem with a network cable, than reboot | 01:35 |
| Agrajag | a switch would do no good | 01:35 |
| shingoki | D0wnXcaST: then you can have the xbox and PC both on the network | 01:35 |
| shingoki | Agrajag: Of course it would | 01:39 |
| D0wnXcaST | <shingoki>: i know :) | 01:39 |
| Agrajag | he'd only get one IP address from his ISP, most likely. | 01:39 |
| shingoki | Agrajag: That is why god invented NAT | 01:39 |
| Agrajag | shingoki: then he need s anat box, not a switch. | 01:39 |
| Cloudchaser | a linksys-type router with switchports | 01:39 |
| Agrajag | yes | 01:39 |
| shingoki | Agrajag: He can run the NAT on his PC, much cheaper to get a plan switch | 01:39 |
| shingoki | plan = plain | 01:39 |
| Cloudchaser | for 35.00 linksys is easier | 01:39 |

| HrdwrBoB | to close a query window is /unq | 01:50 |

| HrdwrBoB | if you run it with 'screen' | 01:52 |

| shingoki | Xenguy: Because I must have spent a few working days worth of hours trying to get my card goin under linux, and it jsut isn't funny any more | 01:55 |

| GotD0t | what config file does hoary use for X | 02:03 |
| shingoki | ogra: It should, but you have to remember what ati linux driver is like, I didn't really expect it to work | 02:03 |
| KeithWeisshar | is network-admin available on the start menu | 02:03 |
| _Imanewbie_ | GotD0t : xfree86-4 | 02:03 |
| shingoki | _Imanewbie_: Redhat is pretty crappy. | 02:03 |
| plasmo | hoary = /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:03 |

| shingoki | _Imanewbie_: I know its kind of minimalist when you install it but AFAICT you can get everything you could get for redhat pretty easily | 02:04 |

| KeithWeisshar | i still can't get the sound to work | 02:04 |
| plasmo | or warty | 02:04 |

| KeithWeisshar | ubuntu gives an error no soundcards found when loading alsa-ctl | 02:04 |

| shingoki | ogra: But I've only heard horrible horrible things about the binary drivers, in terms of them depending on having different settings on different hardware, so I may just have hardware that the drivers dont like. Maybe because it is an nforce2 board. ANyway thanks for help ;) | 02:06 |

| georgia | i'm getting by on a 1GHZ machine, because it does what i need it to do, i even still make REGULAR use of a 200MHz machine, whic is more than powerful enough for what i use it for | 02:33 |
| epod | I just downgraded from a 3.2ghz P4 to a 2.8 | 02:33 |
| epod | the 3.2 was a notebook.. dumb thing was just too heavy/huge/bad battery life | 02:33 |
| jdub | MagicFab: it probably conflicts with packages in our seeds | 02:34 |
| MagicFab | the usbmgr package does that too... | 02:35 |
| jdub | MagicFab: it conflicts with hotplug | 02:35 |
| jdub | why would you want to install it? | 02:35 |
| jdub | hotplug is the supported tool to do that (and the leading choice) | 02:35 |
| MagicFab | it supports my scanner. | 02:35 |
| MagicFab | mhhh... | 02:36 |
| jdub | that's probably just a matter of getting device ids into hotplug or the module | 02:36 |
| MagicFab | I'm really new to hardware problems.. ;) | 02:36 |
| MagicFab | not sure how to go about that. | 02:36 |
| jdub | well, you probably don't need to deal with it | 02:37 |
| jdub | just load the kernel module for your scanner | 02:37 |
| calamari_ | how big are the universe and multiverse archives? | 02:37 |
| MagicFab | the murasaki package seems to be maintained, though | 02:37 |
| jdub | as is hotplug :) | 02:37 |
| MagicFab | well, I wouldn't know how to "just load the kernel module for my scanner" | 02:38 |
| jdub | what kind of scanner do you have? | 02:38 |

| cyberdrek | jdub, and I do install and uninstall a great deal of apps. | 03:11 |
| Seq | is there anything by default that prevents postfix from receiving mail? I cannot even telnet to it from outside of this machine | 03:11 |
| sg47_ | how do I connect to another machine on the same network? | 03:11 |
| jdub | cyberdrek: that won't always be the case. nevertheless, it is not something we suggest or encourage. | 03:12 |
| cyberdrek | jdub, the day that isn't the case is the day I will get rid of ubuntu and go back to strictly debian. | 03:14 |
| jdub | cyberdrek: that'd be today :) | 03:14 |
| cyberdrek | jdub, oh and as for what you guys recommend, I haven't seen any notices anywhere saying not to mix them. | 03:14 |
| jdub | ubuntu is a branch of sid | 03:14 |
| Cloudchaser | so do i have to search and remove any wine-related things that didn't get installed when i removed wine? | 03:14 |
| cyberdrek | jdub, you think you're teaching me something new! < | 03:15 |
| jdub | when sarge is sufficiently old, and there are deeper differences with sid, ubuntu will not be 'compatible' with those repositories | 03:15 |
| jdub | in much the same way that sarge is not compatible with the sid or woody repositories | 03:15 |
| sg47_ | how do I connect to another machine on the same network? | 03:16 |
| MobyTurbo | jdub, actually, not precisely the same way - woody can be dist-upgraded to sarge or sid without many problems, the same isn't neccesarily the case for ubuntu & Debian repos. | 03:17 |
| lamont | Seq: you need to edit master.cf | 03:17 |
| lamont | there are 2 lines: 127.0.0.1:smtp and ::1:smtp that need to be tweaked. | 03:18 |
| lamont | comment one out, and remove the address from the other, and you've allowed smtp | 03:18 |
| jdub | MobyTurbo: in most cases, you'll be able to upgrade from an ubuntu release to sid fairly sanely. | 03:18 |
| jdub | at least for the forseeable future. :) | 03:18 |
| cyberdrek | jdub, wow, now I understand how repos work. oh btw, sid and sarge aren't compatible but even if you run sarge, you can still install sid apps at your own risk. Same thing for ubuntu repos and debian repos. | 03:18 |
| jdub | it's just a branch of sid, remember :) | 03:18 |

| === siimo [~siimo@siimo.user] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| lamont | jdub: better yet, if you have ubuntu and debian packages in your sources.list, and the same version exists in both repositories, you'll fetch one or the other randomly, with potentially interesting results. | 03:19 |
| cyberdrek | jdub, 'less obvious compatibility' my left foot. | 03:20 |
| Seq | lamont: thanks. I read man pages of tcpd related stuff twice, and was searching all over. what a simple issue :p | 03:20 |
| lamont | Seq: yeah - the issue is that by default, warty listens on _NOTHING_ | 03:20 |
| lamont | well, no externally reachable ports anyway | 03:20 |

| === Xenguy notes there was an interesting Ubu vs. FC3 review news headline today (Ubu faired well :-) | ||
| lamont | cyberdrek: my preferred phrase for mixing debian and ubuntu repositories is "fraught with peril" | 03:21 |
| lamont | if you do mix them, you _REALLY_ want to use apt-preferences | 03:21 |
| jdub | cyberdrek: ubuntu is a branch of sid; woody and sarge are essentially versions on the same track. | 03:21 |
| Xenguy | lamont: a nice turn of phrase :-) | 03:21 |
| jdub | cyberdrek: there is less obvious compatibility between ubuntu and sid because we make changes that are... not compatible. | 03:22 |
| lamont | Xenguy: yeah - dunno where I picked that up, but it was years ago. Very useful phrase. | 03:22 |
| melazyboy | Is there anyway to force the install of the fglrx deb file from apt without having it bitch about it being a broken package because of dependencies, im using xorg instead of xfree86 | 03:22 |

| cyberdrek | MobyTurbo, I know. | 03:25 |
| lamont | cyberdrek: yes, it generally works. But it can and does lead to an unknown state on your machine, that can be rather complicated to debug when it does break. | 03:25 |

| GuBA | xfld desktop on Ubuntu ?? | 03:25 |
| cyberdrek | jdub, I'll recomend what I know works. | 03:26 |

| lamont | HrdwrBoB: but it's getting _BOORING___ | 03:26 |
| HrdwrBoB | haha | 03:26 |
| jdub | cyberdrek: right, and i'm explaining why it won't necessarily work, and why it's a bad idea. | 03:26 |
| HrdwrBoB | melazyboy: the testing packages there are intented to be used without documentation :) | 03:26 |
| jdub | melazyboy: go to the lists page (see the topic) and click on ubuntu-users. | 03:26 |
| lamont | cyberdrek: it is known to break under certain circumstances, and is therefore not recommended unless you're willing to debug your system out of major trouble at some point in the future. It is certainly not a supported activityl. | 03:27 |
| gen | how would i go about moving a directory in home, into another directory in /usr/lib | 03:27 |
| Xenguy | gen: that sounds like something you may not want to do | 03:28 |
| gen | xenguy, and why not? | 03:28 |
| lamont | gen: but to answer your question, be root and do the move | 03:28 |
| Xenguy | gen: meaning, it sounds like an odd thing to do generally (but of course I don't know your details) | 03:28 |
| gen | moving firefox install from home dir | 03:28 |

| HrdwrBoB | but you don't need it | 03:30 |
| HrdwrBoB | ever :) | 03:30 |
| gen | because when i use the gui installer for firefox 1.0 it won't let me install to anything but home dir | 03:30 |
| DracosX | agreed, if you really need a root shell (although you probably wouldn't), you can always sudo -s | 03:30 |
| MobyTurbo | cyberdrek, I assume you've never had a broken apt repository before. I have, though not with ubuntu, and it ain't pretty - you basically have to sometimes reinstall half your system to fix it. | 03:31 |

| MobyTurbo | cyberdrek, since most of debian sid is part of ubuntu's official repositories, I have no reason to want to mess around with debian's repositories. | 03:32 |

| cyberdrek | MobyTurbo, I had plenty. I've been running debian and debian based system for a pretty long time and I did happen to have to spend two or three days to fix my system up. That's all part of using a system like deb. | 03:32 |
| lamont | melazyboy: of course, apt will fail to install dependencies after that if you don't deal with the issue | 03:32 |
| jdub | only if you do silly things :) | 03:32 |

| jdub | lamont: "[breakage is] all part of using a system like deb" | 03:33 |
| Xenguy | cyberdrek: and it's inconsiderate to recommend a reckless approach to people who may not have the skills to recover | 03:33 |
| cyberdrek | Xenguy, maybe not for you but keep using it and you will see.. | 03:33 |
| MobyTurbo | cyberdrek, my problem was a PEBKEC problem, I assume yours was too - and you seem intent on repeating it. | 03:33 |
| melazyboy | lamont: Would apt fail if the only things its depending on is Xfree? and thats fake. | 03:33 |
| Xenguy | cyberdrek: I've been using it for ages - that's why I don't recommend reckless behaviour | 03:33 |
| lamont | jdub: 100% agreement here. dpkg does very strong dependency management, and the folks who find that annoying tend to be the people who think it's perfectly normal to fight with a system for days to make it right. | 03:33 |
| lamont | jdub: if you do things right to start with, then it flows nicely, eh? | 03:34 |

| sebb | (forget the make all-deps) I copied the line right after by mistake | 03:40 |
| lamont | jdub: from the stupid questions department... | 03:42 |
| lamont | new machine. if I play a CD directly, it plays fine. rip it and play the .ogg and it sounds like crap. why is that? | 03:43 |
| jdub | lamont: sound card? | 03:43 |
| lamont | sis | 03:43 |
| jdub | so, some sound cards don't put the CD audio through any processing | 03:43 |
| lamont | 0000:00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0) | 03:44 |
| lamont | ah. But would maybe have issues with the capture | 03:44 |
| jdub | whereas pcm audio might go through stupid 3d, bass, treble kind of things | 03:44 |
| lamont | so do AC97 modems work on warty? | 03:44 |
| jdub | and all kinds of other wacked out audio tweakage | 03:44 |
| Faustus | no usb scanner users? | 03:45 |
| jdub | lamont: do you have a cd player that does digital reading? (ripping for playing) | 03:45 |
| jdub | lamont: i think there's an xmms plugin that does it | 03:45 |
| lamont | brand new cheap-crap frys special | 03:45 |
| jdub | try that, see if it sounds like arse | 03:45 |
| jdub | sorry, mean software cd player | 03:45 |
| lamont | ah, so try xmms playing instead of 'CD Player"? | 03:46 |
| Cloudchaser | plasmo, are you still here? | 03:46 |
| jdub | if you have the xmms thing that does extraction for playing | 03:46 |

| madsen | Rene_S: Do you know how to install additional codecs for Xine? I seem to have problems doing that... It's using the mplayer codecs (if present), right? | 06:16 |
| Rene_S | Yeah | 06:17 |
| Rene_S | Download the win32 codec pack from marrilat as well | 06:17 |
| madsen | Rene_S: Hmm, so if I dump a new codec in the /usr/lib/win32 dir, then Xine will just use it? | 06:17 |

| billytwowilly | Where do you live? | 07:31 |
| Rene_S | Canada | 07:31 |
| billytwowilly | really? I didn't know they did autopsies on people who die of cancer.. | 07:32 |
| novaburst | how do I find out if there is a monodevelop package for Ubuntu? | 07:32 |
| Rene_S | Depends if they died straight out or if there were complications, I think they do it for research sometimes | 07:32 |
| billytwowilly | Rene_S, are you in ontario or quebec? | 07:33 |

| billytwowilly | The difference is like comparing the united church to Evangelical Christians;) | 07:36 |

| ernie | im wondering if anyone knows where i can find some documentation on how to delete the files that synaptic downloads | 07:53 |
| JDahl | ernie, sudo apt-get clean | 07:53 |

| JDahl | (off my memory, if it does work "man apt-get") | 07:54 |
| ernie | Jdahl - it wont look any different than hedghog | 07:54 |
| JDahl | ernie, ok | 07:54 |
| JDahl | ernie, but Xorg is supposed to have alot of new eye-candy isnt it? | 07:55 |
| JDahl | transparencies, drop-shadows, etc | 07:55 |
| plasmo | but buggy | 07:56 |
| melazyboy | JDahl: the ability is in Xfree as well | 07:56 |
| melazyboy | JDahl: Gnome won't take advantage of any more of the abilities using xorg than it would using xfree | 07:56 |

| === Klowner_ [~klown@jed11.revealed.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jdub | melazyboy: composite, damage, etc. are not in xfree86 | 07:56 |
| ernie | no actually xorg will be like sort of downgrading from xfree, you see xfree quit abiding to gnu so nobody wants it anymore | 07:57 |
| JDahl | so why are everyone so eager to break their Ubuntu installation to get it? | 07:57 |
| gen | why not | 07:57 |
| ernie | because it is the future of X windows | 07:57 |
| melazyboy | JDahl: Xorg is just the newer xfree its not like xfree v2.0 or a complete rewrite, its just a fork originally because of licensing issues with Xfree | 07:57 |
| jdub | JDahl: because you can try out the additional software that makes all the crazy eyecandy stuff work | 07:58 |
| jdub | JDahl: but most of it is not regarded as stable yet | 07:58 |
| ernie | it wont break your install, trust me im a total n00b and use hoary, only a few problems rise once in a while | 07:58 |
| melazyboy | JDahl: The creater of Xfree wanted more name recognition so he changed the license so each time the software was used he had to be credited. | 07:58 |
| === billytwowilly is using hoary as well. no problems at all. | ||
| nevyn | melazyboy: it was more than that... | 07:58 |
| billytwowilly | except for one .ICEauthority file problem. | 07:58 |
| ernie | but this is an awsome community and bugs are squashed immedieately | 07:59 |
| nevyn | melazyboy: it extended to all advertising of compilations. | 07:59 |
| Rene_S | I thought Hoary would be more Hairy but its pretty stable | 07:59 |
| ernie | is it possible to resize a reiser partition or do i have to format? | 08:00 |
| melazyboy | Has there been newer versions of Xfree since he made that decesion i know all of the distros broke from it then, but did he have something up his sleave to warrent that demand like 500k lines of new code ? i mean seems kind of silly to demand something with no bargining chip | 08:00 |
| jdub | melazyboy: yes, there was the final release. | 08:01 |
| jdub | Rene_S: it's fairly robust, but definitely not stable :) | 08:01 |
| ernie | i like the daily updates, make me feel good | 08:02 |
| ernie | dont know why, just does | 08:02 |

| mhlandry | so jsut apt-get update would randomly cause errors like sound not working | 08:44 |
| birme | update only updates the local packages list, you mean upgrade right? | 08:45 |
| mhlandry | nonajme, even something like installing a newer version of a package you already had | 08:45 |
| mhlandry | well, yeah I guess | 08:45 |
| mhlandry | sorry :) | 08:45 |
| mhlandry | its been awhile since I've used debian | 08:46 |
| birme | anyway, you could use synaptic package manager. A graphical front end to apt | 08:47 |
| mhlandry | I did notice that as wel | 08:47 |
| mhlandry | l | 08:47 |
| birme | or aptitude which is "curses" based | 08:47 |

| |progenic| | i mean the library | 09:35 |
| mariam | Treenaks, I did use upper case L | 09:35 |
| mariam | the pritner name is hppcs900 | 09:35 |
| |progenic| | my program need a QT to run, so is it possible to install QT and run it on gnome ? | 09:35 |
| Shufla | mariam: try to smbclient -N //gagik/hppcs900 | 09:35 |
| mariam | but when I enter //gagik and hppcs900 into host and printer (repectively), it still wonr't connect | 09:35 |
| Shufla | |progenic|: yes. | 09:35 |
| |progenic| | just apt-get install qt ? | 09:36 |
| aru | Treenaks, what do I need to do if it doesnt show up? | 09:36 |
| Treenaks | |progenic|: what are you trying to do? just installing QT won't do anything | 09:36 |
| Shufla | |progenic|: well. it's possibile that program wchich you need is in universe or multiverse repo | 09:36 |
| Treenaks | aru: check your logfiles | 09:36 |
| mariam | Shufla, i get 'Domain=[GAGIK] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] ' | 09:37 |

| bob2 | no | 10:44 |
| Keybuk | aptitude reinstall "~i" might work *shrug* | 10:45 |
| Keybuk | then again, it could explode into little bits as the libc jumps architectures | 10:45 |
| leyman | sounds dangerous :) | 10:45 |
| Shufla | better is to reinstall full system while going from 32bit arch to 64bit arch | 10:45 |
| bob2 | you can point aptitude at a different arch? how? | 10:45 |
| mhlandry | how the hell could do you a dist-upgrade from i386 to amd64? | 10:45 |

| markus_ | $ dpkg -L vim | grep /usr/bin/vim: lists the vim-executable, and says something about "diverted by kvim to: /usr/bin/vim.org". What does this mean? | 12:57 |
| bob2 | it means /ur/bin/vim is the one from kvim | 12:57 |
| bob2 | and /usr/bin/vim.orig is the one from vim | 12:57 |

| markus_ | bob2: The "dpkg -L vim" lists the file /usr/bin/vim as this file *should* be in the vim-package. The "funny" thing is that I don't have a /usr/bin/vim, as "kvim" doesn't offer such a file. Isn't there a way to tell the "vim"-package to reclaim its file again? | 01:00 |
| bob2 | you can undivert it | 01:01 |
| bob2 | but it's easier to remove kvim | 01:01 |
| markus_ | bob2: I tried that, but removing kvim would remove kde again ... | 01:02 |
| markus_ | bob2, how could I undiviert it? | 01:02 |
| bob2 | "kde" is fine to remove | 01:02 |
| === RubenV [~lambda1@kn-res.kuleuven.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| markus_ | bob2, further packages that would go are kdeaddons (which seems to be fine to be removed too) and vimpart, with the latter offering some libraries. I'll try removing it though and hope for the best... | 01:06 |
| markus_ | bob2, It worked (though I don't know how KDE might re-act on this ... but I suppose it's fine there too.) Many thanks! | 01:07 |
| bob2 | you're welcome | 01:08 |
| bob2 | to undivert it, you can use dpkg-divert, but I forget the exact options | 01:08 |

| ztonzy | hi :) | 01:16 |
| ztonzy | anyone who has recently updated to the lastest k7 kernel ? I have and noticed significant slowlness in gui, overall | 01:16 |
| ztonzy | tried to re-install couple of things but haven't helped | 01:17 |
| smo | I can't say I've noticed anything different | 01:17 |
| bob2 | reinstalling packages is never going to make things faster | 01:17 |
| markus_ | bob2, ok, thanks. I'll check this one day ... | 01:18 |
| lupus_ | firefox has no firefox -n "url" option ? so I can open a new site in a new tab | 01:18 |
| lupus_ | ? | 01:18 |
| bob2 | ztonzy: if it seems slower, and gets fast again when you boot the old kernel,. please file a bug | 01:18 |
| ztonzy | bob2, maybe not, but maybe fix them | 01:18 |
| ztonzy | well...it seems it overwrite the older k7 kernel | 01:18 |
| ztonzy | it was an update | 01:19 |
| bob2 | ztonzy: no, it won't fix them either | 01:19 |
| bob2 | ztonzy: yes, try installing the old one | 01:19 |
| smo | It shouldn't do? I still have -2-k7 and -3-k7 in grub & /boot | 01:19 |
| ztonzy | I notice it when like when I log out...and this shading on the monitor is stepping rather than going smooth | 01:19 |
| ztonzy | bob2, then I must remove current one first...then start over again :) | 01:20 |
| bob2 | ztonzy: yes | 01:20 |
| bob2 | smo: there have been multiple versions of -3 | 01:20 |

| ztonzy | I have XP2800+ is a k7 kernel better than a normal i686 ? | 01:22 |
| smo | lupus_: It's a little more verbose, but try: firefox --remote "openurl(http://mozilla.org/,new-tab)" | 01:22 |

| daniels | jordi: oh cool, so you speak Valencian, yeah? | 02:00 |
| jordi | lol | 02:00 |
| bob2 | nah, they speak spanish | 02:00 |
| bob2 | it's in spain, dude | 02:00 |
| jordi | I wonder why a silly Aussie knows about these stupid issues regarding our language :) | 02:01 |
| jordi | bob2: it's Catalunya too :) | 02:01 |
| bob2 | maybe because silly catalins blog about it :-) | 02:01 |
| toptnc | jordi: you speak Valencian or a Catalonian variant? | 02:01 |
| toptnc | :D | 02:01 |
| toptnc | Catalonian == Valencian ?? | 02:02 |
| nevyn | bob2: that's like saying they speak the same language in firenze and sicillia | 02:02 |

| jordi | I mean. | 02:03 |
| jordi | What do Argentinians speak? Argentinian, or Spanish? | 02:04 |

| daniels | jordi: well, not Catalan | 02:04 |
| king_arthur | nevyn: but have lived a few years downunder as well | 02:04 |
| jordi | Does anyone doubt it's Spanish? Well, Valencian and Catalan is the same case. There are some words that vary between Catalan and Valencian, that's all. | 02:04 |
| king_arthur | nevyn: my Italian landlord spoke about the same level of Italian and English.. :-) | 02:05 |
| nevyn | jordi: but dialects are a tricky business.. a quite innocuous statement can become something completely different | 02:05 |

| nevyn | all the italian kids cracked the shits.. cause they had to work in yr12 italian. | 02:06 |
| nevyn | cause what they spoke at home didn't cut it. | 02:06 |
| jordi | nevyn: well, I tell you it's not the case in Catalan/Valencian. There are cases where totally normal words in Spanish (Castilla) are quite funny in Argentina. | 02:07 |

| king_arthur | new installation takes about 3/4 hours :-( | 02:10 |
| jordi | jdub: "coger" is a word you use dozens of times every day (to pick up, etc). It means "fuck" in Argentina. :P | 02:10 |

| king_arthur | Ycros: It should be possible, in theory | 02:11 |
| Ycros | yes, people have done it | 02:11 |
| Ycros | what cards are you doing it with? | 02:11 |
| king_arthur | Ycros: is there a irc channel for xfree to the best of your knowledge? | 02:12 |

| ica | hey guys, how can i configure ubuntu to use a proxy, globally, for all users (i.e, with a file, not with the gnome network proxy program) | 02:35 |
| smo | Treenaks: Will that work as a drop-in replacement for the livecd's filesystems? | 02:36 |
| Treenaks | ica: add 'http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:port/ to /etc/environment | 02:36 |

| Matt| | kewl | 02:38 |
| Matt| | rapha, is that gnoppix? | 02:38 |
| rapha | Matt|: Nope, Ubuntu | 02:39 |
| ica | Treenaks, i have a system/http_proxy already set in gconftool (because i used network proxy tool in gnome probably) | 02:39 |
| Matt| | is the ubuntu live cd similar to gnoppix? | 02:39 |
| rapha | Treenaks: then hopefully hoary will have this same bootscreen in the installed version? | 02:39 |
| Treenaks | ica: yes, you have to set that manually, as roto | 02:39 |
| smo | as I read it, they're one in the same now (gnoppix's latest release was warty, and they give @canonical.com as their contact info) | 02:39 |
| Treenaks | ica: as root even.. | 02:39 |
| NOCD | if no cd rom is detected by ubuntu install, what ca i do? | 02:39 |

| rapha | Matt|: Similar... well, urm, you pop it in and it boots. Like all Live CDs do, nope? | 02:40 |
| Matt| | rapha, sure but I read on the gnoppix website that it is based on ubuntu, so I assumed they would be the same | 02:40 |
| rapha | Only thing that could be slightly confusing is that it's showing "ramdisk" on the desktop. | 02:40 |
| ica | thanks | 02:40 |
| rapha | Matt|: The Ubuntu Live CD is based on Gnoppix (as I hear) which in turn is based on Knoppix, which is based on Debian. | 02:41 |
| jdub | gnoppix is now based on ubuntu :) | 02:41 |

| RomPres | I have a SCSI card installed with a 9GB drive I'll be wanting to use as my boot volume. | 02:54 |
| RomPres | Any ideas? Googling on the error indicates at least one other person has had this trouble with a debian installation. | 02:54 |

| Rod | I use ubuntu for a pretty while, last week i got a new computer with a nforce3 motherboard | 04:32 |
| Rod | The problem is that ubuntu sees the network well (lsmod shows the right module, forcedeth, loaded) | 04:32 |

| RubenV | if they are there | 06:40 |

| wood1 | I have a problem during my Ubuntu boot process, it stops with some weird Stack ... Trace call messages | 07:27 |
| JDahl | socomm, try changing the amount of allocated shared memory in the bios... I had to do that | 07:27 |
| zopi | MPlayer Debian : http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/03/msg00235.html | 07:27 |
| wood1 | I have to restart my Ubuntu PC at least 2-3 times before it finally boots normally | 07:27 |
| socomm | JDahl: Video RAM? | 07:28 |
| sparehead1 | siretart: whats the marillat one? | 07:28 |
| jiyuu0 | sparehead1, how did u install acroread? | 07:28 |
| MobyTurbo | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty multiverse | 07:28 |
| MobyTurbo | is multiverse | 07:28 |
| sparehead1 | sudo apt-get install acroread | 07:28 |
| wood1 | By the way, I can't browse my Windows Workgroup anymore | 07:28 |
| wood1 | It was working fine till yesterday | 07:29 |
| MobyTurbo | deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main | 07:29 |
| MobyTurbo | is marillat | 07:29 |
| JDahl | socomm, yes... it's probably set to 1M, but I could set it as high as 8M and that did it for me... The early BIOS releases had bug related to this issue, maybe that's what giving you trouble as well | 07:29 |
| MobyTurbo | but keep in mind this is not only an unofficial repository it is meant for Debian. | 07:29 |
| socomm | JDahl: Yeah read about that, but I don't see that option in my BIOS. | 07:30 |
| sparehead1 | yeah, I'm trying not to cross the streams | 07:30 |
| sparehead1 | any idea's as what would count as the install dir? | 07:30 |
| MobyTurbo | sparehead1, well, add multiverse and you can install a lot of non-free stuff without leaving ubuntu repos. | 07:31 |
| wood1 | So what could be the problem which does not let me browse my Windows Workgroup Network anymore ? | 07:31 |
| JDahl | socomm, then I'm out of ideas... | 07:31 |
| sparehead1 | got that in, had to have it to grab acroread I think | 07:31 |
| Vince-0 | ANY1 got their ATI 9xxx card to run on debian (accelerated) ? | 07:32 |
| socomm | JDahl: Thanks anyhow :^) | 07:32 |
| sparehead1 | I think I'll try some random dir's and if i get it to work I can file a useful bug report! WOHOO! | 07:32 |
| daniels | Vince-0: depends whether you mean 9000->9250, or 9550->9800 | 07:32 |
| MobyTurbo | Vince-0, this isn't #debian. If you're running ubuntu the drivers are available in the restricted repository. | 07:32 |
| Vince-0 | MobyTurbo , I got an 9600 XT I am having a hell of a time getting to install drivers | 07:33 |
| Vince-0 | hehe | 07:33 |
| JDahl | Vince-0, On my laptop I have a mobile 9000 - and that's accelerated by default in XFree86. I also tried ATI's drivers, and they weren't faster | 07:33 |

| MobyTurbo | gwak, make sure to mention at what date you tried dist-upgrading to hoary; since it's a development branch that matters. | 07:57 |
| gwak | MobyTurbo:yea your right -- i did it from Synaptic -- not from apt-get -- stupid me | 07:57 |
| sparehead1 | can someone tell me what there acroread.sh has in as its install dir? | 07:58 |
| wood1 | Does anybody here notice the difference in image quality between XFree86 and Xorg ? | 07:58 |
| sparehead1 | none of my guess's worked :( | 07:58 |
| MobyTurbo | gwak, then it's not a bug - changing distros means you have to dist-upgrade. (synaptic can do that in it's "auto" mode.) | 07:58 |
| Quest-Master | Err | 07:58 |
| Quest-Master | Which one I am I supposed to download from here? | 07:58 |

| gwak | MobyTurbo: yea i just hit the 'smart-upgrade' button -- is that considered 'auto' | 07:59 |

| Kamion | synaptic may have a reinstall option too, but I'm not so familiar with it | 08:01 |
| treeSnake | is there some other docs on how to use rsync to create a mirror other than the howto I already found (and that didn't work)? | 08:01 |
| NV | i actually changed my desktop to xfce4 as per instructions on the wiki since this is an old laptop | 08:01 |
| Kamion | NV: basically once you've installed something with one packaging system it's not a good idea to install it with another packaging system without removing it from the first beforehand; the result of doing that is usually that you confuse both systems | 08:01 |
| NV | ah ok | 08:02 |

| pridkett | ahha. Okay, that explains that. | 10:16 |
| ogra | palle: that you want to compile a gtk programm ? | 10:16 |
| socomm | palle: means you need to install glib development package. | 10:16 |
| ogra | palle: what exactly do you compile ? | 10:16 |
| palle | i am trying to compile xmms | 10:16 |
| crimsun | install libglib2.0-dev | 10:16 |

| socomm | palle: you can install xmms via synaptic. | 10:17 |
| pridkett | It seems like it makes some sense to include the .pc files with the actual python pacakges as you can still develop with them without the dev package installed | 10:17 |

| JDahl | Quest-Master, you could also compile it from source... I've rarely seen a such a big package build so easily | 10:23 |
| ogra | ironwolf: but dont assume that everyone else is running it....some of us like stable systems :) | 10:23 |
| palle | okay, now there are like 10 different xmms which one should i install to be able to listen to mp3's? | 10:23 |
| Quest-Master | Once I add multiverse to the sources.list, can I just do it through apt-get normally? | 10:23 |
| palle | or probably mopre like 20-30 | 10:23 |
| ironwolf | ogra: wouldn't ever dare to assume that ;) I was just asking *if* anyone knew what to look for next. | 10:23 |
| ironwolf | Quest-Master: yes | 10:23 |
| socomm | Quest-Master: Yah. | 10:24 |
| Quest-Master | Woot. | 10:24 |

| ogra | ironwolf: hehe, i was thinking on your answer to Quest-Master the mplayer package in warty doesnt work | 10:24 |
| socomm | gauckler: did you install the right version? | 10:24 |
| palle | which xmms package should i install? | 10:24 |

| Fwiffo | topyli: yeah, I noticed :o) | 10:59 |
| mhlandry | chmod +x <filename> ? | 10:59 |
| topyli | mhlandry: install a package like "linux-image-686" or something. it will always depend on the latest kernel for your architecture and be updated | 10:59 |
| Fwiffo | mhlandry: Do you mean upgrade to a kernel supplied by Ubuntu? | 10:59 |
| wfx | Shift: dual boot linux & windows doe not depend on ubuntu. ubuntu use the grub boot manager so... | 11:00 |
| wfx | Shift: you need to configure grub for booting | 11:00 |
| davidv | wfx: one hard drive or two? | 11:00 |
| ogra | Shift: works out of the box | 11:00 |
| ogra | Shift: you dont need to configure it | 11:01 |
| Fwiffo | Shift: and if it does not, try changing from CHS to LBA in your BIOS | 11:01 |

| Quest-Master | Trust me, Ubuntu is like a thousand times better. | 11:05 |
| Quest-Master | I moved to Ubuntu today | 11:05 |
| Quest-Master | I've been using Suse for a few months too, removed it today and replaced it with Ubuntu. | 11:05 |
| davidv | i'd like to test it but the Live Eval cd won't give me a display in any mode | 11:05 |
| Quest-Master | Heh, I just skipped over the LiveCD and installed it. | 11:06 |
| gauckler | davidv: backup your system and install ubuntu ;) | 11:06 |
| Quest-Master | Ubuntu is miles ahead of SuSe. | 11:06 |
| davidv | i like to test drive before in install | 11:06 |
| gson | hmm someone that knows any good burning application? | 11:06 |
| gson | like nero burning | 11:06 |
| gauckler | k3b | 11:06 |
| gson | hm k | 11:07 |
| davidv | gauckler, what deskto do you use, KDE or Gnome? | 11:07 |
| gauckler | now gnome, before kde | 11:07 |
| Quest-Master | Gnome. | 11:08 |
| Quest-Master | Gnome is so fast compared to KDE | 11:08 |
| Quest-Master | I used to use KDE too, when starting off with Suse. | 11:08 |
| davidv | i don't like the mechanics of Gnome that much | 11:09 |
| Quest-Master | Then I tried Gnome on Suse, and it was awesome, but Suse worked horribly with Gnome. | 11:09 |
| Quest-Master | So, I moved to Ubuntu. | 11:09 |
| ogra | gson: this is important for k3b: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/howto/helpcenterhowto.2004-10-05.2946111988/ | 11:09 |
| Quest-Master | Mechanics? | 11:09 |
| davidv | the way it works | 11:09 |
| Quest-Master | KDE is for people who are used to how Windows is set up | 11:09 |
| davidv | it is faster though | 11:09 |
| Quest-Master | You just have to get used to how Gnome works | 11:09 |
| Quest-Master | It's better in the long run | 11:09 |
| Quest-Master | :D | 11:09 |
| davidv | preference is why there are different platforms | 11:10 |
| ogra | guys...please no kde/gnome bashing in here | 11:10 |
| Quest-Master | I wouldn't consider it bashing, hehe | 11:10 |
| mike8901 | is there any way to integrate portage w/ ubuntu | 11:10 |
| davidv | i'm not bashing anything Ogra | 11:10 |
| mike8901 | i love portage as it compiles and optimizes everything | 11:10 |
| mike8901 | apt-get doesnt have optimized rpms | 11:10 |

| === IamMoo [~pickle800@6532124hfc24.tampabay.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| davidv | well, maybe just the live eval disk | 11:10 |
| crimsun | goodness, man. | 11:10 |
| mike8901 | why not crimsun? | 11:10 |
| ogra | lol | 11:10 |
| IamMoo | can anyone help me to as why ubuntu install fails after the hardware detection? | 11:11 |
| crimsun | apt-get for ubuntu does not use rpms; it uses debs | 11:11 |
| crimsun | debs are usually compiled with -O2 | 11:11 |
| JDahl | ogra, c'mon just a quick one... then we can do vim vs emacs afterwards | 11:11 |
| mike8901 | are debs optimized? | 11:11 |
| crimsun | mike8901: "optimized" is rather meaningless | 11:11 |
| mike8901 | why? | 11:11 |
| ogra | JDahl: *g* i'll take the vim part ;) | 11:11 |
| davidv | i can't figure out why the live eval recognizes my nvidia fx5200 video card but won't give a display once x starts | 11:11 |
| IamMoo | annnyone at all | 11:12 |
| crimsun | mike8901: for one, what really needs to be optimized? | 11:12 |
| mike8901 | crimsun: xfree86 | 11:12 |
| mike8901 | gnome | 11:12 |
| mike8901 | kde | 11:12 |
| mike8901 | openoffice | 11:12 |
| === mike8901 could go on and on | ||
| davidv | i am moo, what do you mean fails? | 11:12 |
| IamMoo | the install just stops | 11:12 |
| IamMoo | blue screen | 11:12 |
| IamMoo | nothing happens | 11:12 |
| davidv | blue? | 11:12 |
| ogra | mike8901: and you notice it ? or is it only measurable ? | 11:12 |
| IamMoo | blue with the grey stip at the button | 11:13 |
| IamMoo | the ubuntu install background | 11:13 |
| crimsun | mike8901: the packages that really need to be optimized are. The kernel. libc6-i686. The crypto packages. | 11:13 |
| davidv | i haven't installed it yet but it is most likely a driver issue | 11:13 |
| mike8901 | crimsun: so you are saying that xfree86 does not benifit in any way from optimization? | 11:13 |
| davidv | do you have any weird hardware? | 11:13 |
| IamMoo | no | 11:13 |
| IamMoo | its a gateway | 11:13 |
| davidv | sata? | 11:13 |
| crimsun | mike8901: I said the packages that really need to be optimized are. | 11:14 |
| ogra | IamMoo: switch to another console with alt-f2 | 11:14 |
| Fwiffo | IamMoo: how long did you wait before rebooting? | 11:14 |
| crimsun | mike8901: the others can be but are not critical. | 11:14 |
| IamMoo | after about 3 minutes the computer locks up completely at the blue screen | 11:14 |
| IamMoo | and i've waited 30 minutes | 11:14 |
| ogra | IamMoo: look if there are errors on alt-f3 or f4 i think.... | 11:14 |
| davidv | moo, ogra has a point--you can diagnose a bad install by switching to another console | 11:15 |
| IamMoo | ok one sec | 11:15 |
| Fwiffo | IamMoo: ok, it's just that some times it can take a while to detect hardware, but not that long I would think | 11:15 |

| davidv | then my monitor light goes amber and it just sits | 11:19 |

| IamMoo | and thats where it hangs | 11:20 |
| davidv | i can get another console but X is dead | 11:20 |
| ogra | davidv: tried ctrl-alt-+ or - ? | 11:20 |
| Fwiffo | sounds like your monitor is misdetected, and X is tryoing to run it in a mode it does'nt support | 11:20 |
| davidv | ^ | 11:20 |
| ogra | davidv: i.e. numpad plus or minus | 11:20 |
