| lev | what is the best multimedia software on ubuntu? | 12:18 |
| mjr | well, off the top of my head, reiser might've won some performace tests with a small margin | 12:18 |
| lev | That would be comparable to WMP | 12:18 |
| ficusplanet | dhanish, reiser4 by far, but I would be careful with it since it was just recently released. Is it even in the ubuntu kernel? | 12:18 |
| dhanish | i dont even know | 12:18 |
| dhanish | well for now i'll stick with ext3 then | 12:18 |
| mjr | however, ext3 seems to me more reliable and it has better recovery utilities | 12:18 |
| CatDog | As long as they both keep the files safe, who cares? :-p | 12:18 |
| mjr | (I completely trashed a reiser once trying the recovery tool...) | 12:18 |

| ReptiX | no | 01:14 |
| Roptaty | ReptiX: Its quite easy actually. There are two steps you have to do. Two commands actually. 1. sudo apt-get build-dep php4, and 2. sudo apt-get --compile source php4 | 01:14 |
| ReptiX | E: Build-dependencies for php4 could not be satisfied. | 01:15 |

| phlaegel | wasn't it? (I never actually used gnome until recently...) thought I remembered it was... | 02:05 |
| jdub | billytwowilly: difference in objectives between the projects | 02:06 |
| phlaegel | so it just wasn't official, right? | 02:06 |

| bancus | Possibly related to Hoary. | 02:41 |
| Cloudchaser | hello | 02:41 |
| billytwowilly | bancus, what modules? | 02:42 |
| Cloudchaser | i was hoping someone might have a suggestion for me..using firefox in ubuntu and i can't seem to get to some pages on college library website | 02:42 |
| bancus | a couple related to hotplug refuse to load during boot | 02:42 |
| billytwowilly | how do I figure out what version of a module is installed? I want to know what version of the ipw2200 driver I've got. | 02:42 |
| Cloudchaser | i click the links they give and nothing happens | 02:42 |
| bancus | and ndiswrapper.ko apparently has the wrong format | 02:42 |
| billytwowilly | bancus, no idea. sory | 02:42 |
| === timl still can't get his thinkpad r40e's keyboard to respond at the main installer screen | ||

| Cloudchaser | billytwowilly, no they're not down | 02:43 |
| Matt| | Cloudchaser, give us the link | 02:43 |
| Matt| | nice nick btw | 02:43 |
| billytwowilly | Cloudchaser, on your husband's comp does it pop them open in a new window? Possibly the popup blocker is stopping it from working properly in that instance. | 02:43 |
| Cloudchaser | can't really cause i have to log in with college id | 02:43 |
| Matt| | oh i c | 02:43 |
| Matt| | wat he said then | 02:43 |
| Cloudchaser | well some popups work but i don't find any popup manager in firefox | 02:44 |
| Matt| | Cloudchaser, in the preferences | 02:44 |
| Cloudchaser | i looked in there | 02:44 |
| Cloudchaser | it has cookies | 02:44 |
| Cloudchaser | oh found it now | 02:44 |
| Matt| | Cloudchaser, nope that's not it, it's under web features | 02:44 |
| Matt| | k | 02:44 |
| bancus | also, why does GDM ignore my keymap? | 02:44 |
| bancus | consoles use dvorak, gnome uses it once I've logged in, but GDM insists that I want qwerty | 02:45 |

| Cloudchaser | oh thank you matt!!!! | 02:45 |

| bancus | Matt|, yeah | 02:46 |
| Matt| | *grins* bancus why give up? | 02:46 |
| bancus | warty wasn't working | 02:46 |
| bancus | although, I guess I can go back and try it now that I've figured out why | 02:46 |
| Matt| | you'll never learn anything about linux if you give up with every distro | 02:46 |
| bancus | I know plenty about it | 02:47 |
| bancus | I just don't want to spend all day and all night messing with it | 02:47 |
| bancus | I want a system that just works | 02:47 |
| Matt| | bancus, get windows | 02:47 |
| bancus | it doesn't just work | 02:47 |
| bancus | it's slow | 02:47 |
| Matt| | nah it works | 02:47 |
| bancus | and doesn't have rhythmbox | 02:47 |

| bancus | all great software that windows can't do | 02:48 |
| Matt| | bancus, well you're stuck with it then | 02:48 |
| bancus | I just want a distro that doesn't make me fuck with the low-level things | 02:48 |
| Matt| | :) | 02:48 |
| bancus | I don't want to ever have to open up a configuration file. | 02:48 |
| Matt| | bancus, dream on | 02:48 |
| bancus | Not for routine things | 02:48 |
| bancus | Matt|, I'm not the only one | 02:48 |
| bancus | Project Utopia is bringing it | 02:48 |
| ReptiX | how do i get remote access to work and how do i access it | 02:48 |
| bancus | things like NetworkManager are coming along to help | 02:49 |
| Matt| | bancus, i'm sure you're not. I agree with you in principle, and this is also the ubuntu aim, but it is naive | 02:49 |
| Matt| | atm | 02:49 |
| bancus | I thought Ubuntu might be the one to bring all the pieces together | 02:49 |
| bancus | but I've had such a bad experience with it so far I'm not sure I want to bother | 02:49 |
| Matt| | bancus, hrm, its more accessible than most. But they have not been able to test it on enough hardware | 02:49 |
| bancus | why can't the installer check both CD-ROM drives? | 02:49 |
| Matt| | bancus, *laughs* loads of installers don't do that | 02:50 |

| Matt| | bancus, perhaps the media was corrupted | 02:51 |
| bancus | it only looked in master, didn't bother checking slave | 02:51 |
| bancus | nope | 02:51 |
| bancus | it was fine once I moved it to the other drive | 02:51 |

| scoon | bancus, yeah, do it. do it. | 02:53 |
| Xenguy | bancus: actually, sorry about that, it is a good thing you are reporting this - did you file a 'bug report' on this at all? (might be the best idea to make sure it gets followed up) | 02:53 |
| scoon | bancus, this is the best distro i have used in 6 years. | 02:54 |
| Matt| | bancus, anyhow, it's their first release and as I say, they need people to test hardware | 02:54 |
| bancus | Xenguy, I'm going to, I guess | 02:54 |
| Matt| | bancus, so file a bug, that would really help :) | 02:54 |
| bancus | scoon, the enhancements to gnome look promising | 02:54 |
| GotD0t | its amazing how things always go wrong at a time where the reason for the break is completely different from what it actually was | 02:54 |
| Xenguy | bancus: I think there's a bug report page somewhere on the web site | 02:54 |
| bancus | GotD0t, that was a problem I had with gentoo | 02:54 |
| bancus | Xenguy, bugzilla.ubuntulinux.org | 02:54 |
| Xenguy | bancus: ah so | 02:54 |
| Matt| | bugzilla.ubuntu.com | 02:55 |
| bancus | GotD0t, it kept fucking up the config files | 02:55 |
| GotD0t | bancus: well its not specific to operating systems... or computers in general. just stuff goes wrong at an exact moment where it makes it seem completely different | 02:55 |
| bancus | most recently, it fucked net.lo, and the loopback device wasn't being brought up | 02:55 |
| bancus | but nothing said that | 02:55 |
| bancus | instead, everything broke in bizarre ways | 02:55 |
| bancus | like fam refusing to load | 02:55 |

| bancus | which are standard gentoo tools | 02:56 |
| bancus | Matt|, and so is emerge | 02:56 |
| Matt| | bancus, and you get to choose which files to amend, and it tells you each difference between them and your old ones | 02:56 |
| bancus | Matt|, and they put a diff into my localdrive init script | 02:56 |
| Matt| | so don't start blaming distros | 02:56 |
| bancus | ignoring my choice completely | 02:57 |

| Quest-Master | :( Ubuntu is not working well with Python at all. | 02:59 |
| Xenguy | mulux: (sometimes gpm and X can conflict in weird ways; it may not be your problem, but it's a thought) | 02:59 |

| Rene_S | there has got to be a way that Gnome and kde can co-exist on the same computer .... | 03:03 |
| Xenguy | mulux: OK so whatever is locking up X is not caused by gpm; are you certain you have the right driver for X ? | 03:03 |
| mulux | actually, when I come to think about it, the lockups maybe occur whenever windows are moved "out of the screen"... not sure though | 03:03 |
| anders_ | Matt|: ok, thanks | 03:03 |
| mulux | Xenguy: well, it runs smooth for a while | 03:03 |

| lev | but when i do , that says i need privledges too. | 03:17 |
| zenwhen | right click it's icon and go to properties | 03:19 |
| zenwhen | add the word gksudo before the k3b command | 03:20 |
| zenwhen | it will ask you for your passs when you run it and you give it your pass | 03:20 |
| zenwhen | Then run setup. | 03:20 |
| zenwhen | then you are set | 03:20 |
| Xenguy | zenwhen: that sounds like something that should be included in a FAQ somewhere ;-) | 03:21 |

| Xenguy | melazyboy: If I understand Ubuntu correctly it is possible for software to become outdated between the time of one release and the next - and this is normal. Is this the case here by any chance? | 03:24 |
| melazyboy | One of them affects me, sound, cuts out in wmvs, i can wait just an fyi =D | 03:25 |
| zenwhen | wmv sucks | 03:25 |
| melazyboy | Xenguy: Not to start a fight, but there isn't an instance when that isn't the case, is any software outdated when first released? | 03:26 |
| Xenguy | BTW I've never heard of this VLC thing (everyone is always on about 'mplayer' which never seems to work for me) -- is VLC a real alternative to mplayer, or am I asking about apples and oranges? | 03:26 |

| zenwhen | I use mplayer for everything but DVD's. For DVD's I use VLC. | 03:29 |

| melazyboy | Xenguy: The sound issue doesn't affect everyone, it just cuts out some times when playing WMVs but the seek on VLC seems to be 10x faster tha other programs i have used, (not to say i have given other programs the same chance i have given vlc) but its pretty well rounded | 03:31 |

| GotD0t | deFrysk: i noticed that as well | 04:51 |
| Rene_S | Ok, I need an opinion. For Ubuntu should i go Reiser or Ext3 ? | 04:51 |
| deFrysk | thats nice | 04:51 |
| deFrysk | Rene_S, for absolute solidness use xt3 | 04:52 |
| deFrysk | Ext3 | 04:52 |
| GotD0t | what exactly is Reiser? | 04:52 |
| deFrysk | Reiser is a bit speedyer | 04:52 |
| farrioth | DeanG: You'll only need to change the driver. | 04:52 |
| TomT64 | what package do I need for this: | 04:52 |
| TomT64 | /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwx_gtk2_xrc-2.4 | 04:52 |
| scoon | Rene_S, i have been using reiser and it is just dandy. don't notice any diff from this or Ext3 | 04:52 |
| TomT64 | I alread have done sudo apt-get install wxgtk* | 04:52 |
| g0d | can totem play encrypted DVDs? | 04:53 |
| === g0d is now known as K-otiK | ||

| Rene_S | So, the short answer here is that it probably does not make much of a difference then | 04:53 |
| root__ | hey guys.. I am interested in ubuntu for my wife.. is there screenshots somewhere? | 04:53 |
| farrioth | TomT64: wxgtk2, possibly? wxgtk may only be gtk1. I'm not sure, though | 04:53 |
| deFrysk | Rene_S, Ext3 is the default | 04:53 |
| scoon | Rene_S, between reiser or ext3, i'd go with reiser. | 04:54 |
| K-otiK | can totem play encrypted DVDs? | 04:54 |
| scoon | Rene_S, just not reiser4, which is probably not in the ubuntu installer. | 04:54 |
| Rene_S | I know, normally I use Reiser but today i got lazy and use ext3 All of wich caused me to think about which one i should use | 04:54 |

| Rene_S | Hmm there are no restricted modules for the 2.6.9 kernel | 05:33 |
| subterrific | dle: yeah, its not obvious :( | 05:33 |
| subterrific | dle: i'm looking bios settings and everything. for all my drives i've got DMA set to [Auto[ in the bios, which i'm guessing should work | 05:34 |
| zekktheon | thanks deFrysk | 05:34 |
| Rene_S | Oh well best to leave it right were it is | 05:34 |
| subterrific | dle: do you know if MDMA or UDMA is better? | 05:34 |
| zekktheon | just wanted to make sure cuz it is downtime weekend on the network so... thought it would eb a good time :D | 05:34 |

| Rene_S | Anaconda installer for debian is a nice idea | 05:47 |
| EpheMeroN | when i use the ubuntu live-cd none of the links to programs work | 05:47 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | no, it's not | 05:48 |
| EpheMeroN | like for firefox or xchat or gain or even the terminal | 05:48 |
| EpheMeroN | i've tried that on 3 computers | 05:48 |
| Rene_S | I like it, makes it easier to figure out, my wife installed it yesterday and she cant even figure out how to install Office on windows | 05:48 |
| jdub | Rene_S: the debian port of anaconda has about 26 screens last time i counted | 05:49 |

| jdub | there are very few images of substance in the anaconda port | 05:51 |

| Rene_S | I find it slow as all heck personally | 05:52 |

| holycow | xandros? | 05:54 |
| holycow | you gotta be kidding me | 05:54 |
| sls | ok ... yes... it is probably even easier.. | 05:54 |
| holycow | xandros just sucks in every way imaginable | 05:54 |
| holycow | including the installer | 05:54 |
| eruin | never tried it | 05:54 |

| sls | what is wring with 3 clicks? | 05:54 |
| sls | wrong | 05:54 |
| subterrific | Rene_S: i would bet it has more to do with not being able to use the mouse in the debian installer than pictures | 05:54 |
| zekktheon | anyone used the attempt at a anaconda port to gentoo.... horrable... locks up half way through and if you manage to make it through it X is gaurenteed to crash it :P | 05:55 |
| EpheMeroN | no one else has this live-cd issue? | 05:55 |
| Rene_S | The worst one i ever seen was for a Brazillian distro called Kalango, it runs and then doesnt install a desktop that works | 05:55 |
| sls | or how about (press enter to install) then done... | 05:55 |
| Xenguy | sls: it costs $$$, you realize that, yes? | 05:55 |
| zekktheon | LOL | 05:55 |
| zekktheon | i like your thinking sls | 05:55 |
| zekktheon | read my brain, and figure out what i want my computer name to be | 05:56 |
| sls | yes... i am not advocating xandros... just the installer | 05:56 |

| === zekktheon wonders as well... hey at least they kept making dos | ||
| eruin | holycow: in fact, win2k and winxp installers are mostly identical | 05:58 |
| Rene_S | that cause they cant figure out how to use anything else | 05:58 |
| === holycow tries to remember | ||
| holycow | no, as far as i can remember xp is graphical ... been a while | 05:58 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | holycow: not to start with | 05:59 |
| Amaranth | XP and 2k installers are the same, the XP one just puts the 2k info in a sidebar and displays ads | 05:59 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | same as 2k | 05:59 |
| holycow | *hmmmmm* k. | 05:59 |
| zekktheon | eruin is correct holycow :D i do at least one install of each a week | 05:59 |
| eruin | holycow: yeah, after you're "greeted" with the horrible text-only crap | 05:59 |
| Rene_S | They bailed on IBM and Mac prolly because the programmers there had skills | 05:59 |
| Amaranth | but the beginning (where you format and partition) is text | 05:59 |
| zekktheon | not exact | 05:59 |
| holycow | oh jesus, i'm sorry to hear that zekktheon | 05:59 |
| zekktheon | but very similar | 05:59 |
| zekktheon | i cant convince everyone at my office to convert, but i have control of their servers MWA HA HA | 06:00 |
| holycow | well, perhaps not advocating with zealotry is a good thing, let them use win if they want | 06:00 |

| crimsun | K-otiK: wherever you instruct it to, I presume. | 08:40 |
| roRy | im in south africa LucidVisions so got no idea about the movements of "linux" torvalds | 08:40 |
| LucidVisions | linus torvalds is the father of linux | 08:41 |
| LucidVisions | he made the kernel | 08:41 |
| Treenaks | well, he started making it :) | 08:41 |
| crimsun | (he knows who Linus is; his statement regards the whereabouts of Linus) | 08:41 |
| Treenaks | and he still decides what goes into the final product | 08:41 |
| Treenaks | but he hasn't done it all by himself :) | 08:41 |

| Treenaks | LucidVisions: uh, I have | 08:43 |
| Keybuk | roRy: hmm? Linus didn't write Linux for a school project | 08:43 |
| LucidVisions | roRy: just sec,,i got a link that explaines our network | 08:43 |
| Treenaks | LucidVisions: what do you think NUMA is? | 08:44 |
| LucidVisions | that was only at first,, | 08:44 |
| LucidVisions | yea | 08:44 |
| Keybuk | he wrote it because he had an i386 and nothing to do with it | 08:44 |

| roRy | but we cant set up a wifi connection to our friend across the road or something | 08:55 |
| LucidVisions | ahh,,i see now,,that would make it hard. | 08:55 |

| roRy | like at my varsity they wanted to set up a wifi connection from one campus to the other | 08:56 |
| roRy | and they not allowed to | 08:56 |
| pepsi__ | eh.. whats wrong with setting up a private network between 2 points? | 08:56 |
| roRy | if it crosses a public road here its illegal | 08:57 |
| roRy | so u can kinda set one up in your block or something | 08:57 |

| Treenaks | SpOoKySpOoKy: Perl has its uses. Don't start flamewars here. | 09:05 |
| roRy | even dialup gets expensive | 09:05 |
| roRy | we pay for local calls | 09:05 |
| SpOoKySpOoKy | Treenaks I'm tryng just to get your attention | 09:06 |
| roRy | about $.10 a unit which is 3 minutes | 09:06 |

| roRy | LucidVisions, very greedy telco | 09:07 |
| roRy | they had a profit last year of billions | 09:07 |
| SpOoKySpOoKy | maybe but I'm not affraid to ask | 09:07 |
| LucidVisions | roRy: ahh,, | 09:07 |
| nevyn | Treenaks: I just did a final exam that involved perl.. perl is pure evil. | 09:08 |
| SpOoKySpOoKy | I want to learn | 09:08 |
| nevyn | Treenaks: I can write it. but it's not a good thing $_ is wrong. | 09:08 |
| pepsi__ | so learn it, then inform us of how its done, cause obviously we dont know | 09:08 |
| roRy | we should get another telco soon, but it might just end up that they collude | 09:08 |
| Treenaks | nevyn: I prorgam perl for a living :) | 09:08 |
| SpOoKySpOoKy | and if nobody helps at least can answer yes or no | 09:08 |
| nevyn | no new programmer should ever see anything as evil as $_\ | 09:08 |
| roRy | and the current telco is partly government owned so thats why its regulated we have to use them | 09:08 |

| roRy | wtf is $_\ ? | 09:09 |
| nevyn | Treenaks: the teachers program wrote a flat file database and then used a forloop with hard coded length to print a record. | 09:09 |
| nevyn | Treenaks: it was WRONG... | 09:09 |
| Treenaks | nevyn: in Perl? That's plain evil.. yes.. | 09:09 |
| LucidVisions | roRy: true indeed.I hope things improve | 09:09 |
| nevyn | Treenaks: see. | 09:09 |
| roRy | we have 3 cellular networks | 09:09 |

| Nexinarus | ok Ubuntu linux talks about components (main, restricted, universe, and multiverse). Though where can i see the list of components (without having Ubuntu installed yet) ? | 09:56 |

| Treenaks | Nexinarus: what kind of CDs do you want to burn | 09:58 |
| Nexinarus | files like a data cd with Nero in windows, | 09:58 |
| Nexinarus | backup documents, | 09:58 |
| Nexinarus | backup files readable with windows machines, etc | 09:59 |
| jessta | cdrecord? | 09:59 |
| === bborkk [~bborkk@SENIOR-FOUR-TEN.MIT.EDU] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Nexinarus | or possibly audio cd's | 09:59 |
| Treenaks | Nexinarus: files can be done easily in the GUI | 09:59 |
| Treenaks | Nexinarus: using the built-in "burn to CD" option | 10:00 |
| Treenaks | same with .iso images | 10:00 |
| Nexinarus | cool. so i can select a file and say "burn to cd" ? | 10:00 |
| Nexinarus | or select folder, | 10:00 |
| Treenaks | audio CDs are harder, for now you can use K3B (a KDE CD burning program). In the next version you'll be able to burn audio CDs from the music program | 10:00 |
| Treenaks | Nexinarus: yes, or actually, you go to the "Places" menu, open the CD burner window from there | 10:01 |
| Treenaks | Nexinarus: and drag/drop the files to the burner window | 10:01 |
| Nexinarus | thanks, that reassures me :) | 10:01 |
| Nexinarus | hope my cd burner hardware is detected properly heeh | 10:01 |
| Treenaks | 99% of it is.. | 10:01 |
| Treenaks | it even detected my USB CD burner correctly :) | 10:01 |

| Nexinarus | sorry about noob questions, much appreciated though. | 10:03 |
| Treenaks | Nexinarus: no, everything should be hot-pluggable | 10:03 |
| Treenaks | Nexinarus: at least, as long as the hardware supports it :) | 10:03 |

| candyman | deFrysk, I am a KDE person. I am still not completely convinced to switch. | 12:10 |
| candyman | Moby, I know ;) | 12:10 |
| MobyTurbo | candyman, but most ubuntu users use gnome 2.8 because that's special to ubuntu at present. | 12:10 |

| Mayday | what does it really mean when i have packages that "have been kept back" (apt tells me) | 12:22 |
| mjr | they haven't been upgraded because the upgrading would require installing other packages or removing others, or dependencies aren't available | 12:23 |
| Kamion | it means that they can't be upgraded because the newer versions would not be installable due to dependency problems | 12:23 |
| mjr | dist-upgrade overrides the first two conditions and goes ahead | 12:23 |
| Kamion | may be a bug, may just be that you need to wait a while for stuff to sync up | 12:23 |
| mjr | for example, the calendar package might not be upgraded with a normal upgrade, since it depends on the new december calendar package, but dist-upgrade will happily upgrade it and pull the december calendar with it | 12:24 |

| JackandJohn | quick question; gnome is running like garbage - visibly redrawing the windows slowly, etc.. I have a tbird 1.4 and a radeon 9800 pro (yes, shhh) - would I resolve the gui issue by going to a real driver instead of the generic? | 06:35 |

| JackandJohn | the other option, if you havn't configured ubuntu yet, and don't care, is to do an mbr format right off the bat, then reinstall ubuntu - putting the boot manager on the linux partition (there is a prompt), then edit boot.ini after | 06:50 |
| elfy | it does 4 commands when i select windows xp after the fourth it just hangs | 06:50 |
| mxpxpod | why do I have a /.dev? | 06:50 |
| JackandJohn | Roptaty; strange, but not altogether uncommon.. winXP can boot past the 1024 sector mark if you really want it to, but as soon as you touch the mbr you are screwed | 06:50 |
| Fwiffo | elfy: I'm coming in right in the middle of this discussion, but what you are talking about sounds lige a known problem with grub - have you tried changing from CHS to LBA in your bios to get grub working? | 06:51 |

| elfy | cardador, ok | 07:53 |
| ulisse | I have just reinstalled hoary, but I'm having troubled with k3b | 07:53 |

| wood1 | rodi | 10:12 |
| ermo | bronson, but thanks for pointing towards xvinfo. | 10:12 |
| ermo | bronson, and gst won't play as many formats as xine (as far as I can tell - watching anime) | 10:13 |
| bronson | ermo: does plain xine work? I've had some odd issues with gxine. | 10:14 |

| mjr | (by the way, uninstalling the ubuntu-desktop package doesn't ruin anything, it just makes it so that with an upgrade to hoary, all new software that ubuntu-desktop depends on won't be automatically installed) | 10:22 |
| mjr | but at that point you can reinstall the package and hope that totem-gst in hoary will be a better choice ;) | 10:23 |

| kent | jakk, perhaps complete removal also removes cashed files? /var/cache/ has files, perhaps old packages etc.. | 11:16 |
| bronson | It was either adding myself to disk or marking that script executable. | 11:16 |

| sjoerd | pitti: seems there are upgrade paths in ubuntu which leave device-removable.sh -x .. | 11:19 |
| |trey| | bronson: being sarcastic? | 11:19 |
| bronson | I don't know why sda would be in the disk group before but the hal group now. | 11:19 |
| bronson | I didn't do anything to change that afaik. | 11:19 |
| dieman | |trey|: eh? | 11:19 |
| sjoerd | because the device-removable.sh couldn't be executed, so the udev rule to decide between group hal or disk didn't function | 11:20 |
| bronson | |trey|: not at all -- automounting the CF card rules. | 11:20 |
| |trey| | dieman: nm... autocompletion, meant for diesel :( | 11:20 |

| |trey| | SimplyRob: seems to me they are no different to Ubuntu... other then minimalizing the packages installed to 200mb's... | 11:47 |
| SimplyRob | |trey|, told you | 11:47 |
| SimplyRob | minimalizing the packages and | 11:47 |
| SimplyRob | optimized for SLOW PCs | 11:47 |
| SimplyRob | big advantaged I see because it runs even faster on fast pcs | 11:48 |
| |trey| | SimplyRob: Ubuntu runs fine on a 633 mhz 128mb RAM Celeron... although thats my server... | 11:48 |
| SimplyRob | oh | 11:48 |
| |trey| | SimplyRob: it says it runs on such machines... but damn, Ubuntu runs on a fucking Apple Lisa ffs... thats old hardware!! | 11:48 |
| |trey| | SimplyRob: its still using GNOME... so it will be the same... | 11:48 |
| SimplyRob | I dunno why but like I said and they said to me, its optimal for slow pcs , thats their whole point and it does uses gnome 2.8 but i dunno why I go slow on ubuntu and I haveinstalled various of times | 11:49 |
| SimplyRob | but for now I am stuck with 3 distros i am triple booting with because i'm a newbie so i wanna test these as much and learn something | 11:50 |

| |trey| | SimplyRob: either way, if you're not using Ubuntu, this isn't the right channel for you. | 11:51 |
| |trey| | SimplyRob: if Beatrix doesn't have a channel, go to #linux or #linux-help | 11:52 |

| SimplyRob | and who you are to tell me this isn't the right channel? for example I'm using XFLD and its based on Knoppix, the only difference is that Xfld default environment is Xfce4.2 but other than that everything else is Knoppix, same with Beatrix | 11:53 |
| rodi | LOL | 11:53 |
| SimplyRob | You're just not happy i'm not using pure ubuntu, like the debian folks say every deb based distro sucks because its not pure debian ? | 11:53 |
| SimplyRob | Maybe jealously, hate or something | 11:54 |
| zax-tfh | hi all ! | 11:54 |
| rodi | SimplyRob: you're doing a great job making everyone like you with those kinds of cracks. | 11:54 |
| shingoki | The debian people just hate all organic life, they are cyborgs ;) Just kidding | 11:54 |
| zax-tfh | I would like to know what to use to burn a cd under ubuntu please ? | 11:54 |
| jakk | JStrike: you mean wired? | 11:54 |
| tixy | zax-tfh: nautilus? :-) | 11:55 |
| JStrike | jakk : Could be. Let me look | 11:55 |
| zax-tfh | with nautilus ??? | 11:55 |
| rodi | heh, later dude. | 11:55 |
| zax-tfh | could you explain briefly please ? | 11:55 |
| |QuaD| | i have the j2re packages installed, but it didn't install the applet viewer for firefox, what should i do | 11:55 |
| tixy | zax-tfh: just put a cd into the drive, and drag in what you want to burn | 11:56 |
| |trey| | zax-tfh: you can use nautilus-cd-burner... just throw a cdr in the tray, and drag files to the window that pops up :) | 11:56 |
| rodi | okay, rebooting with hoary. talk to you all soon (hopefully) | 11:56 |
| JStrike | zax-tfh : yes | 11:56 |
| shingoki | |QuaD|: There is a thing on a wiki page for that I think, you need to make a symbolic link in one of the firefox directories | 11:56 |
| |trey| | zax-tfh: if you don't really like that... apt-get install coaster or xcdroast, both are pretty nice... | 11:57 |
| |QuaD| | ok | 11:57 |

| zax-tfh | but now I'm facing another problem :(, I just plugged another HDD and it's not in my drives... ???? Do I have to mount it ? if yes, how do I make it ? | 11:58 |
| JStrike | |trey| : Is coaster in the repo? | 11:58 |
| zax-tfh | thanks trey | 11:58 |
| JStrike | zax-tfh : IN nautilus look in the Places menu | 11:59 |
| |trey| | shingoki: make sure you use the ns7 plugin though, not the gcc29 vm... | 11:59 |
| |trey| | JStrike: ahh, no... my bad... | 11:59 |
