| crimsun | WebMaven: for "Simple mixer control 'PCM',0", both "Front Left" and "Front Right" are muted "[off] " and set to vol. level 0% | 01:07 |
| crimsun | borgmeister: try the documentation for kismet in /usr/share/doc/kismet/ | 01:08 |

| thenuke | intinig: :I but if I do dist-upgrade it would upgrade that? | 01:46 |
| Gwildor | intinig, Xorg just WORKED for me | 01:46 |
| thenuke | so how to prevent it | 01:46 |
| usual | vigilanty667, there are two ways, follow the instructions on the wiki or use the driver from nvidia.com | 01:46 |
| thoreauputic | intinig: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:46 |
| intinig | thenuke: dist-upgrade leaves it alone | 01:46 |

| xf_ | are there mature players for win32/linux/osx? i guess linux is a given, really | 04:12 |
| jdub | but we can do multiple streams | 04:12 |
| jdub | there are plugins for windows things | 04:12 |
| xf_ | ah, interesting | 04:12 |
| jdub | and real does all the ogg stuff | 04:12 |
| jdub | on windows too, i'm pretty sure | 04:12 |
| LinuxJones | jdub, do you have a min ? | 04:12 |
| xf_ | i haven't hacked at either gstreamer or annodex, but i do know there's annodex support being developed for gstreamer | 04:12 |
| jdub | LinuxJones: yeah | 04:12 |
| xf_ | considering the annodex guys are writing browser plugins to allow custom players and such, i wonder what possibilities there are | 04:12 |
| xf_ | multiple streams at /once/, maybe | 04:13 |
| xf_ | once can dream, though | 04:13 |

| jdub | kinda easy between being in the sydney crowd with the annodex crew and gnome with the fluendo crew :) | 04:15 |
| jdub | binbrain: it rocks pretty hard ) | 04:15 |
| jdub | :) | 04:15 |
| nixboy | anyone tell me how i setup the user/password used in gnome to access widows shared drives. I am able to access shared drives directly by using the nautilus "open location". However i cannot do it by just clicking on the found network . | 04:15 |
| xf_ | heh, nod | 04:15 |
| binbrain | its a modified debian right? why can't the enhancements just be added to debian? | 04:15 |
| jdub | binbrain: they are, in many cases | 04:15 |
| xf_ | it'll be awesome to see this stuff develop, really | 04:15 |
| jdub | it's a branch of debian sid with a six-month time-based release process | 04:15 |
| xf_ | i remember quicktime promising this kind of crap years ago, but they never delivered | 04:16 |
| binbrain | so what diffs ubuntu from debian. just make the changes to debian | 04:16 |
| jdub | with applicable changes going back to debian, etc. | 04:16 |
| binbrain | but why do they need to go back | 04:16 |
| malaclyps | binbrain, difference release process | 04:16 |
| xf_ | oh, by the way | 04:16 |
| nixboy | anyone can help with ubuntu browsing widows shared folders ? | 04:16 |
| jdub | binbrain: it's a branch with a predictable release process and community structure | 04:16 |
| binbrain | why not just add them to ubuntu in the first place | 04:16 |
| binbrain | ok | 04:16 |
| binbrain | release process is more structured | 04:16 |
| xf_ | i've started building asterisk deb's for ubuntu, because i've noticed there aren't any in warty | 04:16 |
| xf_ | it's a given i'll maintain some third party apt source, but is there opportunities for community members to become package maintainers? | 04:17 |
| jdub | xf_: yes, totally | 04:17 |
| jdub | xf_: see the website | 04:17 |
| xf_ | and of course, the policies to do so, etc (i assume it mirrors closely debians) | 04:17 |
| xf_ | ah, cool, cheers | 04:17 |
| jdub | xf_: are you basing these on the source in warty or hoary? | 04:17 |
| xf_ | i'm basing it off the sid package, actually, didn't even realise there was source in ubuntu | 04:17 |
| jdub | xf_: probably best to focus on hoary, so you can get a kickarse asterisk into the release | 04:17 |
| xf_ | ok, cool, will do | 04:18 |
| jdub | xf_: main+universe+multiverse == main+contrib+non-free :-) | 04:18 |

| DaNeon | mead, good point! | 05:50 |
| embsupafly | is NTFS still experimental | 05:51 |
| embsupafly | I was able to access it off of the live Ubuntu cCD | 05:51 |
| DaNeon | read only | 05:51 |
| mead | ntfs write support is, read should be ok, but im not sure if ubuntu has it in the kernel. Ive just been using for today so far someone else will have to answer that | 05:51 |
| embsupafly | ok, so how would i know what parameters to enter into /etc/fstab for the windows partition | 05:52 |
| Xenguy | I hope this wind0ze oriented question doesn't upset anyone here unduly - but it is with respect to an intended Ubu installation... Is there any reason that I should not use PartitionMagic 6.0 to convert a NTFS partition at work to FAT32 (so that I can read this file system from the Ubu installation I plan to do on a separate partition) ? | 05:53 |
| Xenguy | just looking for feedback | 05:54 |
| mead | other than it being easier to set ubuntu to read the ntfs partition in the first place? Or do you want to be able to write to it as well? | 05:54 |
| Xenguy | mead: yes I want to be able to have write access to my partitions - but I am concerned that converting to FAT*** may have disadvantages | 05:55 |
| mead | ahh | 05:55 |
| thoreauputic | Xenguy: if you only need read access, no need to change from ntfs | 05:55 |
| mead | that i couldnt tell you, I havent used windows for years so im not sure about the sideffects of doing that | 05:56 |
| Xenguy | thoreauputic: I see read-only access as crippled honestly | 05:56 |

| linux_galore | SuperQ: dmesg -c before you put the cd in then type dmesg after you have put a cd in the drive | 06:24 |
| SuperQ | linux_galore: well.. since it doesn't detect it as a CD drive | 06:24 |

| Rene_S | es what language is that ? | 07:16 |

| Tsjoklat | Spanish | 07:16 |
| Tsjoklat | Espania | 07:16 |
| Tsjoklat | something | 07:16 |
| oak | that is fine, i believe ubuntu-desktop just defines what packages come pre-installed or soemthing | 07:17 |
| Rene_S | Hola | 07:17 |
| Vigilanty | yes. | 07:17 |
| Vigilanty | it works. | 07:17 |
| GotD0t | ahh | 07:17 |
| Vigilanty | now... | 07:17 |
| GotD0t | i burned myself | 07:17 |
| Vigilanty | other apps... | 07:17 |
| Rene_S | Does it hurt ? | 07:17 |
| Vigilanty | is there a winamp for ubuntu? | 07:17 |
| GotD0t | Rene_S: just a bit... its on my middle fingers knuckle on my right hand | 07:17 |
| GotD0t | Vigilanty: you can get xmms which is a clone of winamp | 07:17 |
| Vigilanty | ok | 07:18 |
| GotD0t | Rene_S: i got a bit over zealous with my soldering iron | 07:18 |
| Vigilanty | it'll play mp3s, and wma's? | 07:18 |
| britt_radiofree | Tsjoklat, don't most apps hardcode which spell lib they use? | 07:18 |
| Rene_S | Well come back when you cover 51 percent of your body, until then its only a scratch | 07:18 |
| Tsjoklat | britt_radiofree no.. | 07:18 |
| Rene_S | :) | 07:18 |
| britt_radiofree | Vigilanty, yes, another winamp style player is beep, which is more actively developed, but buggier | 07:18 |
| Vigilanty | hmmm... | 07:19 |
| GotD0t | britt_radiofree: buggier than xmms? i wouldn't want to see that, considering xmms crashes every few hours | 07:19 |
| Vigilanty | i will investigate more on this a little later... | 07:19 |
| Rene_S | Its all fun and games until someone looses an eye, then it becomes a sport. | 07:19 |

| Rene_S | Nope cant say i have ever gotten that geeky | 07:20 |
| Rene_S | hehe | 07:20 |
| GotD0t | Rene_S: its such a pain, because its such low quality metal... | 07:20 |
| nevyn | it tends to just burn. | 07:21 |
| GotD0t | exactly | 07:21 |
| GotD0t | maybe i shouldn't tell you what i was doing with the coax then | 07:21 |
| nevyn | soldering wire to braid is un-fun | 07:21 |
| nevyn | I use it for 802.11b over 5km ;) | 07:21 |
| britt_radiofree | Tsjoklat, is there a systemwide change? | 07:21 |
| britt_radiofree | Tsjoklat, or is configured within each app? | 07:21 |
| GotD0t | nevyn: well i was originally trying to do that with a friend... but we realized its impossible considering down here is all flat and we can't get anywheres close to LOS | 07:22 |
| Tsjoklat | britt_radiofree yeah I think so.. just go into preferences | 07:22 |

| GotD0t | the solder joint... hehe | 07:36 |
| Tsjoklat | soldering a board? | 07:39 |
| GotD0t | no... the wire-braid inside a coax cable (which is a super thin, low quality metal) to another wire | 07:40 |
| GotD0t | the braid tends to burn... so not only is it hard to get a connection, once you do its hard to keep it, and if you manage that then chances are its not a very good connection as theres lots of ash from when parts of it melted | 07:41 |

| crimsun | Rattboi: dpkg -l nvidia-kernel-common|grep ^ii | 09:47 |
| wasabi | trey, rhythmbox makes you go through this library stuff. I just want to play a directory of files. Not by artist, not by album, just an entire recursive directory. mpg123 with a find script would work, but it won't randomize | 09:48 |
| crimsun | Rattboi: that should have an /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc | 09:48 |
| wasabi | actually i think xmms is hte only option | 09:48 |
| Rattboi | hmm | 09:48 |
| crimsun | err? | 09:48 |
| crimsun | wasabi: mpg123 provides -Z | --random | 09:49 |

| cenerentola | rattboy: what kind of driver are you usint? binaries or...? | 09:49 |
| Rattboi | cenerentola, yeah | 09:49 |
| Rattboi | I followed some guide called "Nvidia drivers, the ubuntu way" | 09:49 |
| cenerentola | did you do "sudo nvidia-glx enable"? | 09:49 |
| Rattboi | oop, *debian | 09:50 |
| Rattboi | cenerentola, exactly that, and it didn't work | 09:50 |
| Rattboi | so that's when I did the "debian way" | 09:50 |
| Rattboi | of course, I could have screwed it up in multiple places | 09:50 |
| Rattboi | I wish I had more information, but I'm not sitting in front of it atm | 09:50 |
| crimsun | Rattboi: make sure the file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc exists | 09:51 |
| Rattboi | like I said before, my nvidia module is working, I got it loading at boot in /etc/modules | 09:51 |
| Rattboi | I was just curious why the other way didn't work, but it's fine | 09:51 |
| Rattboi | except DVDs won't play | 09:52 |
| Rattboi | never did though | 09:52 |
| crimsun | I'm stepping you through troubleshooting why the other way didn't work | 09:52 |
| Rattboi | I thought it was DMA on the DVD drive | 09:52 |
| cenerentola | rattboi: what do you mean it didnt work the other way? | 09:52 |
| crimsun | if you aren't interested, all you have to do is say you're not interested | 09:52 |
| Rattboi | crimsun, it's not that | 09:52 |
| cenerentola | rattboi: what was wrong, resolution, the module didnt load, image quality, x didnt work? | 09:52 |
| Rattboi | I'm interested but unable to do anything atm, since I'm not at the computer with the problem | 09:52 |
| Rattboi | x wouldn't load | 09:53 |
| cenerentola | did you look at the log? | 09:53 |
| Rattboi | man, I should have brought this up when I was at home | 09:53 |
| Rattboi | I feel like I'm wasting your guys time, since I can't really check things, just using memory | 09:53 |

| Rattboi | do an emulated install in Catalan :P | 11:10 |

| Matt| | hi guys. I've had some problems with the nimbus roman font. When converting it to pdf in openoffice it comes out really badly. example is here: http://mdke.mine.nu/images/pdf_problems.png Does anyone have any advice? | 11:11 |
| avilella | I was wondering if the same can be done with ubuntu | 11:11 |
| avilella | Rattboi: so I suppose the easiest way would be an emulated install | 11:13 |

| wood1 | that will be good | 02:02 |
| linux_mafia | wood1, well either crack your network, or deal, admins often dont allow remote connections for security reasons | 02:02 |
| siretart | wood1: you could try to make your ssh listen on other ports than 22, e.g. port 21 or port 80 | 02:02 |
| wood1 | Well how do I do that ? | 02:02 |
| Rattboi | wood1: siretart's idea should work | 02:02 |
| siretart | but that would probably be against your network policy. I strongly suggest talking to your system administrator | 02:03 |
| wood1 | How do I configure SSH to listen or talk to Port 21 or 80 ? | 02:03 |
| siretart | wood1: you would have to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 02:03 |
| siretart | wood1: information about options there can be found in the manpage sshd_config(5) | 02:04 |

| wood1 | Which protocol do I have to use to connect from Terminal Server Client to other PCs on my Network which are also running on Ubuntu ? | 02:07 |
| siretart | wood1: you would have to start a vnc server on the computer to be remote controlled. but check with your network policy if you are permitted to install one.. | 02:07 |

| sladen | wood1: for VNC, sudo apt-get install vncserver | 02:19 |

| |trey| | wood1: I already told you, look at the permissions of the file! | 04:19 |

| _|Imanewbie|_ | nvidia-glx - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver | 04:21 |

| stuNNed | _|Imanewbie|_, i found some info on binary driver in ubuntu's wiki, will try when i get home, thanks! | 04:22 |

| mouu | there's no ssh on /etc/init.d/ | 04:44 |
| sladen | Roptaty: then don't give 'normal' users sudo access. Only the first user (the one *installing* the machine) is assumed to be an administrator by default. It is up to you to decide whether or what to delegate to further users you (==the adminisrator) create. | 04:44 |
| magneto | i can continue by running make again and the error point will pass fine and it will fail later on | 04:44 |
| |trey| | mouu: try installing it? | 04:44 |
| Roptaty | sladen: Sure. But does the normal user know this? | 04:44 |

| Tsjoklat | that | 04:51 |
| Roptaty | sladen: Because there is a slight chance that you will not be prompted for a password, if you are within the time window. | 04:52 |
| Tsjoklat | I would love to have that for nix | 04:52 |
| stuNNed | sladen, only time need to 'su -' is when running k3b-setup, amongst like 1 or 2 other things that could mess up your ~ dir | 04:52 |
| |trey| | sladen: its the same as... but when you have to issue more then one command as root, sudo itself gets tedious... | 04:52 |
| linux_mafia | Roptaty, what is a "normal" user in your hypothetical situation? | 04:52 |
| sladen | Roptaty: to get to that situation you would have had to have used sudo on that terminal in the last 5minutes? | 04:52 |

| |trey| | Tsjoklat: ahh, that seems like it would make a cool desklet :) not sure how possible it is though? and I think there is already a rss gdesklet? | 04:57 |
| sladen | Roptaty: and when you're typing similar commands over and over, it's really useful to have them in your command history, so you can just Ctrl-R in bash to fetch and use them | 04:57 |

| Roptaty | linux_mafia: The point is that most users of ubuntu tend to use the first user they've created. Not the second, nor third, but the first. | 05:05 |
| sladen | Roptaty: Mac OSX is the most widely installed Unix-ish OS. It is in some respects BSD derived. So you may well be correct. Also a large number of organisations use software made by a company called Microsoft, their NT5 based systems (win2k, xp...) use a BSD-derived TCP/IP stack. You are right on that point too. However, of the installations I've deployed personally, BSD hasn't factored and I suspect that holds for many people working in this industry. | 05:05 |

| pastyhermit | Im trying |trey|'s way | 05:08 |
| Roptaty | sladen: No, you misunderstood. The case here is sudo, passwords and the timeframe. If sudo asked for the password every time, it would be safer. But since it default allows a 5 minute timeframe without asking for a password, a cracker may easily gain access to your whole syste, | 05:09 |
| |trey| | thenuke: it will copy all data it finds... so if you say dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb , it will complain because the data will be too big... | 05:09 |
| Roptaty | sladen: if the first user is compromised that is. | 05:09 |
| scizzo | hmmm....give me a second try...hold on | 05:09 |
| |trey| | pastyhermit: I haven't stated a way to install Java... but here : | 05:09 |
| thenuke | |trey|: argh. hmm. but does that complaining matter? because I do not have any data at the end of the source disk | 05:09 |
| Rene_S | Man if a cracker wants into my machine then he needs to get a life there is nothing worth stealing on here | 05:10 |
| thenuke | but maybe I just should rerun lilo or grub for the new harddisk. and then only copy those partitions.. | 05:10 |
| sladen | Roptaty: sudo in ubuntu was originally set to ask a password ever time. (timeout=0). It drove people nuts and lead to people using and leaving open root windows on their desktop. Thus defeating the purpose. | 05:10 |

| linux_mafia | pastyhermit, just source the file | 05:11 |
| sladen | Roptaty: why is 'compromising the first user' different to 'comprising the zeroth user'? | 05:11 |
| |trey| | pastyhermit: go to java.sun.com, click on JDK 5.0 on the right, click JRE, agree... download, chmod +x resulting jre file in home dir, mv the resulting jre dir to /usr (just for shits) ... then ln -s /usr/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins' | 05:11 |

| |trey| | linux_mafia: its really not though... enless you have like 10 machines that you want to install the .deb on :/ | 05:12 |

| linux_mafia | heh | 05:14 |
| sladen | Roptaty: I assumed by 'compromising' you meant ''guessing the username and password of''. It is easier to guess 'root' and *password* than it is to guess 'roptaty' and *password*, since 'root' is always the same. If you have a different definition of compromise, could you share it with me. | 05:14 |
| |trey| | sladen: root is still there, just can't be logged into... can still be compromised as user 0 either way :/ | 05:15 |

| pastyhermit | HOW DO I SET MY PATH | 05:19 |
| Roptaty | sladen: Alright.. Lets assume that a user installs for instance irssi, he used sudo to install it. Then from the same terminal, he starts up the program... But lets say there is a security hole in irssi. A cracker uses this security hole to gain a shell, and then issues the commands sudo -s. He will then have a root shell and may fuck up your entire system. | 05:20 |
| Xenguy | pastyhermit: Please press your CapsLock key once =) | 05:20 |
| |trey| | pastyhermit: ugh... you edit the PATH line in your .bash_profile... log out and back in... or source the file... | 05:20 |
| pastyhermit | |trey|, yeah | 05:20 |

| sladen | Roptaty: as opposed to Root installing irssi, starting irssi as a different window in a different terminal, that getting exploited, firing up an program to grab the X display and feed artifictal keystrokes into the still-open root terminal on the same display? | 05:23 |

| sladen | AElfwine: sudo dpkg -i ./foo.deb The real question is why you needed to download it separately. If there's something missing, it would be better to make sure it gets into the main Ubuntu main/universe achives | 05:30 |
| pastyhermit | |trey|, yeah I use it as an example of everyone where to wait till software was "safe" | 05:30 |
| pastyhermit | because its gone through the testing that Rene_S was reffering too | 05:31 |

| AElfwine | sladen : is amsn in universe source so ? | 05:31 |

| Rene_S | In the end though there is always gonna be mixed opinions on whether sudo or su is best, same as in all things | 05:33 |
| sladen | AElfwine: there's about 15,000 packages in Debian and Unubtu universe. I believe that is one of them | 05:33 |

| Roptaty | pastyhermit: sudo -s gives you a shell. | 05:35 |
| |trey| | Roptaty: Lets put it like this, sudo was written for a reason... someone with the technical no how saw an issue, and attempted to fix it... if you don't see the same issue, just don't use sudo | 05:35 |
| |trey| | Roptaty: please though, shut up about it, we don't care.... it comes up too often to be entertaining. | 05:36 |

| |trey| | Rene_S: later man :) | 05:36 |
| pastyhermit | Roptaty, but its default behavoir is different that su | 05:36 |
| pastyhermit | the whole idea of sudo is that you dont have to login | 05:37 |
| pastyhermit | and besides have you ever seen the /etc/sudoers file? | 05:37 |
| pastyhermit | you dont get that kind of granular security with su | 05:37 |

| winnipegm | ok | 06:44 |
| warty | paulproteus, I just tried it. It says I have more than 4 primary partitions, namely 7. So something has turned logical partitions into primary. gpart offers to write the new partition table to disk, but that only contains the 4 primary partitions, not the one I want to access. | 06:44 |
| SmokingFire | yes | 06:44 |
| paulproteus | You'll have to install it as per the instructions on the Wiki. | 06:44 |
| HungSquirrel | winni, check out the unofficial forum and search for information about kernels | 06:44 |

| paulproteus | KING^^^: One second, I'll find you the exact page. | 06:44 |
| Jelte | should i just get gcc ? | 06:44 |
| ksr | ok i can access them in the consol | 06:45 |
| SmokingFire | ksr: however you can do sudo -s and read it as root. | 06:45 |
| linux_mafia | HungSquirrel, not exactly sure why, i guess because an i386 kernel is a product of its time, 800MB or whatever was probably deemed more than enough | 06:45 |
| ksr | SmokingFire, should i type that in that folder ? | 06:45 |

| SmokingFire | ksr: the command ls | 06:45 |

| gfg | ksr sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp -o umask=0222 | 06:46 |

| Jelte | HungSquirrel, ta | 06:46 |

| thomas_ | a laptop .. with a network chipset realtek 8139. | 08:02 |
| thomas_ | (I've got the same probleme with freebsd) | 08:02 |
| Zugot | ogra, i was just following the restricted formats docs.. | 08:02 |
| JDahl | thomas_, did you manually load the network driver? and what does lsmod | grep <driver> tell you? | 08:02 |
| Zugot | but i fixed it already | 08:02 |
| hanz | in gnome with the devicemanager | 08:02 |
| JDahl | thomas_, maybe you're not using the right module? just a thought | 08:02 |
| ogra | Zugot: hmm, there should be a warning... in the doc..... | 08:02 |
| thomas_ | during the installation UBUNTU ask me IP , gateway ..DNS.. that's all i've conf. | 08:03 |

| zenwhen | Zugot, | 08:04 |
| Zugot | zenwhen, yes? | 08:04 |
| zenwhen | Ubuntu uses standard Xfree. There is nothing about ubuntu that could cause its zinerama support to be non standard. | 08:05 |
| zenwhen | xinerama* | 08:05 |
| Zugot | zenwhen, uh... yes there is | 08:05 |
| JackandJohn | question: do I have to add applications to the gnome menu manually? or do any actually get in there by themselves? | 08:05 |
| Zugot | your app still needs to support xinerama | 08:05 |
| zenwhen | Well then sir, why was it easy for me? | 08:05 |
| Zugot | and it appears that gnome doesn't support it that well | 08:05 |
| zenwhen | Oh | 08:05 |
| Zugot | i have dual screens up right now | 08:05 |
| Zugot | that works | 08:05 |
| Zugot | but i don't appreciate having dialogs open in the middle of the screen, which means it crosses two monitors | 08:06 |
| zenwhen | Oh | 08:06 |
| pisuke | Zugot, the best window manager for xinerama support is enlightenment | 08:06 |
| Zugot | and when i maximize an app, i want it to maximize to one monitor, not to both | 08:06 |
| zenwhen | Oh | 08:07 |
| Zugot | gnome and metacity can do this, i had a gentoo install up for months on this server, that had everything working | 08:07 |
| zenwhen | Want my x config? You may get something you need from it. | 08:07 |
| zenwhen | Mine works just as you say you want it to. | 08:07 |
| Zugot | zenwhen.... sure i'll have a look, send it to gentooguru@gmail.com | 08:07 |
| Zugot | i have lots of weirdo problems with gnome as well, focus follows mouse doesn't seem to work at all | 08:08 |
| Zugot | actually... i'm going to delete my .gnome* directories and start over again | 08:08 |

| FunnyLookinHat | I'll let you know if it works out | 09:03 |
| FunnyLookinHat | ooh, new kernel! | 09:03 |
| Tomcat_ | JackandJohn: If you want users to mount SMB shares, you need to make the smb mount command "setuid root"... that means that *any* user that can run the command will run it as root. | 09:03 |
| JackandJohn | ogra; I'm in gnome and just on my home comp | 09:03 |
| Tomcat_ | JackandJohn: I had this same problem yesterday... I don't want users to run smbmnt as root, so I stayed with "only root can mount smb shares" :I | 09:04 |
| JackandJohn | Tomcat_ - Would that resolve the issue? (even though it opens security holes) | 09:04 |
| ogra | JackandJohn: nautilus has a connect to server dialog in the file menu | 09:04 |
| IBMAptiva | I have booting trouble... anyone know how to solve it. | 09:04 |
| Tomcat_ | JackandJohn: Yes, should solve it. | 09:04 |
| JackandJohn | Tomcat_; Thank you, I'll try it | 09:05 |
| Tomcat_ | JackandJohn: Just be very careful who has access to smbmount... | 09:05 |
| allanon_ | How can I change my (English) ubuntu desktop to Norwegian? | 09:05 |
| JackandJohn | ogra; Thanks for the tip; if I can't get it worked out the other way, I'll try and run nautilus (though I don't know what kind of gnome support it has) | 09:05 |
| FunnyLookinHat | ogra: what the heck? all of a sudden like 2 minutes after I ran sudo modprobe ndiswrapper the wireless connection was found and seems to work. Thanks ;) | 09:05 |
| JackandJohn | Tomcat_; Of course :) Thankfully this is my computer only | 09:05 |
| IBMAptiva | allanon_: You really dont want it in norwegian. The norwegian is horrible, and most of it is even danish... | 09:06 |
| ogra | JackandJohn: nautilus is the gnome filemanager ;) | 09:06 |
| ogra | FunnyLookinHat: :) | 09:06 |
| JackandJohn | Tomcat_; what command would I use? setuid root smbmnt? | 09:06 |
| JackandJohn | ogra; lol | 09:06 |
| ogra | :) | 09:06 |
| Tomcat_ | Mh... anybody can answer this? | 09:06 |
| allanon_ | IBMAptiva, well at least my gf wants her login to have a dutch default. you know how to do it? | 09:07 |
| allanon_ | in KDE it is just to select language in the Kontrol Centre, but in Gnome I am confused. | 09:07 |

| ogra | bancus: and not supported by the prism driver ? | 09:21 |
| stephecarter | ogra: OK - I did what you suggested - set synaptic to use the CD - reloaded synaptic, but there is still no sign of anythin vaguely like ndis in the list of available packages. What have I done wrong? | 09:21 |

| gen | nivlem, you used the correct port right | 11:47 |
| gen | like ip:port | 11:47 |
| gen | 192.168.1.100:5800 | 11:47 |
| gen | etc | 11:47 |
| Nivlem | gen: Didn't specify this since the man page on the server said it should work with defaults.. | 11:48 |

| gen | when connecting client side you have to specify port | 11:48 |
| Nivlem | gen: You know what the default port is it uses? | 11:49 |
| gen | 5800 or 5900 i believe | 11:49 |
| Nivlem | gen: thanks..will try that... | 11:49 |
