| SuperQ | damn.. no one knows anything about USB external burners | 01:58 |
| Gwildor | SuperQ, what is the problem? | 01:59 |
| SuperQ | Gwildor: it detects the USB/IDE box, but not the drive attached to it | 01:59 |
| SuperQ | Gwildor: so it looks like a SCSI block device | 01:59 |
| SuperQ | heh.. | 02:00 |
| paulproteus | SuperQ: Perhaps you should insert the 'sg' module, for "SCSI Generic" support, into the kernel. | 02:00 |
| farruinn | wasn't there a way to see if your cd's have been shipped on shipit? | 02:00 |
| paulproteus | Then you should get /dev/sg0 for it. | 02:00 |
| paulproteus | And then cdrecord -scanbus should show it. | 02:00 |
| SuperQ | paulproteus: i think i tried that | 02:00 |
| SuperQ | but it doesn't load it as sr0 | 02:01 |
| SuperQ | so it's impossible to run as CD rom functions | 02:01 |
| SuperQ | and I think cdrecord still wants to see the sr0 device | 02:01 |
| paulproteus | SuperQ: Beats me, then, I'm sorry to say. | 02:01 |
| SuperQ | yea | 02:01 |
| SuperQ | i'll keep poking | 02:01 |
| SuperQ | there's got to be a way to fix this | 02:01 |
| SuperQ | caues it worked fine with Sarge and 2.6.8.1 right before I loaded ubuntu | 02:02 |
| scoon | SuperQ, what kind of drive is it ? | 02:02 |
| SuperQ | it's a LiteOn DVD+-RW drive | 02:02 |
| SuperQ | i've tested it with Fedora Core1-3 and gentoo | 02:02 |
| SuperQ | all work fine | 02:02 |
| scoon | SuperQ, do you have any other usb things working | 02:02 |
| SuperQ | ubuntu is the only one with issues so far | 02:02 |
| scoon | SuperQ, the live gentoo cd ? | 02:02 |
| SuperQ | scoon: yea.. usb keychain works fine | 02:02 |
| SuperQ | scoon: no.. gentoo on a friends laptop | 02:03 |
| SuperQ | scoon: I had Sarge on this laptop (TP X31) previous to ubuntu | 02:03 |
| scoon | SuperQ, and fedora ? are those yours | 02:03 |
| SuperQ | scoon: and it worked | 02:03 |
| SuperQ | Fedora is on my TP T21 | 02:03 |
| hypegt | is there a way within ubuntu to setup roaming wireless acess on a laptop? I roam between 3 wifi networks and booting takes forever when the network profile isn't the right one | 02:03 |

| paulproteus | hypegt: You can disable the interface by default. | 02:04 |
| SuperQ | hypegt: if you manualy edit /etc/network/interfaces, you can specify the settings you want | 02:04 |
| FirE-dRaGoN | hypegt: add universe to sources.list and then: sudo apt-get install netapplet | 02:04 |
| scoon | SuperQ, my guess is that you are not loading all of the modules that it needs. | 02:04 |
| SuperQ | scoon: well.. it's hotplug's job to load the modules | 02:05 |
| SuperQ | scoon: both used usb_storage afaik | 02:05 |
| FirE-dRaGoN | hypegt: This will install a applet you can use to switch networks on the fly | 02:05 |
| SuperQ | i'm not infront of the box right now | 02:05 |
| paulproteus | Or, on bootup, you can press Ctrl-C to stop the DHCP client. | 02:05 |
| scoon | SuperQ, so quit now and don't bother looking into it then | 02:05 |
| SuperQ | :P | 02:05 |
| hypegt | cool, thanks for the input everyone | 02:05 |

| Earthe1 | linux_galore what is the file system for the floppt | 02:34 |
| linux_galore | alka_trash: debian does /floppy but these days most distro's use /mnt/floppy | 02:34 |
| Earthe1 | floppy | 02:34 |
| alka_trash | Earthe1: all you have to do is look in your fstab | 02:34 |
| alka_trash | mine says | 02:34 |
| linux_galore | Earthe1: varies floppies can have a few file systems | 02:35 |
| MobyTurbo | ubuntu uses /media/floppy | 02:35 |
| linux_galore | MobyTurbo: thanks | 02:35 |
| alka_trash | "/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0" | 02:35 |
| Earthe1 | if it were a windows formatted floppy | 02:35 |
| Earthe1 | yes i need to change the auto | 02:35 |
| alka_trash | so it's "/media/floppy0" | 02:35 |
| === robster [~rob@hades.robster.org.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| linux_galore | I dont have a floppy so Im not sure were it mounts with Ubuntu | 02:35 |
| MobyTurbo | for windows floppies skip the mounting and use mtools. "mcopy foo a:" | 02:36 |
| linux_galore | I use USb drives these days | 02:36 |
| billytwowilly | Quick question: will hoary do dual boot installs properly? warty messes up on some machines my student's group is using to test distros for our next installfest | 02:36 |
| alka_trash | Earthe1: did this help? | 02:36 |
| alka_trash | if you type "nano /etc/fstab" it will print out your mount points | 02:37 |
| LinuxJones | billytwowilly, Hoary is not in real good shape atm | 02:37 |
| linux_galore | alka_trash: no that just shows whats in the fstab file | 02:37 |
| Earthe1 | it allready said that | 02:37 |
| linux_galore | alka_trash: you can have mount points not listed in the fstab file | 02:38 |
| Earthe1 | I changed it on another computer today changed it from auto to something else but i can't remember | 02:38 |
| MobyTurbo | fstab is just for reducing typing while mounting or for automounting. | 02:38 |
| MobyTurbo | if there's an error in your fstab it won't help. | 02:39 |
| billytwowilly | LinuxJones, don't say that;) I'm running it;) | 02:39 |
| rattboi | billytwowilly, I got Hoary + XP right now | 02:39 |
| alka_trash | ahh | 02:39 |
| Earthe1 | I just need to know what to put ther to make it see windows formatted floppies | 02:39 |
| billytwowilly | rattboi, How did the install go though? On a couple of our test machines warty just flaked right out. | 02:39 |

| MobyTurbo | Earthe1, windows format is type vfat | 02:40 |
| linux_galore | Earthe1: nothing it should automatically detect them | 02:40 |
| rattboi | billytwowilly: the install was fine | 02:40 |
| SuperQ | can you dist-upgrade from warty to horay? | 02:40 |
| Earthe1 | yes it should but it doesn't | 02:40 |
| restrex_ | :) | 02:40 |
| alka_trash | vfat and sometimes auto works too | 02:40 |
| Earthe1 | it works fine in the live cd | 02:40 |
| linux_galore | Earthe1: well put auto back | 02:40 |
| billytwowilly | SuperQ, I did that. | 02:40 |
| rattboi | I was running warty to start with, then used apt-get to upgrade to hoary | 02:40 |
| MobyTurbo | Earthe1, again, I reccomend using mtools; it's a lot easier and you can skipp all of that mounting/mountpoints jazz. | 02:40 |
| MobyTurbo | skip | 02:40 |
| LinuxJones | billytwowilly, I ran Hoary for 2 hours then went back to Warty :D | 02:40 |
| rattboi | it screwed up my grub menu.lst, but that's an easy fix | 02:40 |
| SuperQ | k | 02:41 |
| Earthe1 | thank you vfat worked | 02:41 |
| billytwowilly | LinuxJones, I've been running it since half an hour after I installed warty about a month ago now. | 02:41 |
| SuperQ | i think i'll wait on horay for a while :) | 02:41 |
| MobyTurbo | n | 02:41 |
| MobyTurbo | np | 02:41 |
| Earthe1 | it not auto mounts | 02:41 |
| Earthe1 | now | 02:41 |
| alka_trash | hoary seems to work okay for me | 02:41 |
| LinuxJones | billytwowilly, sweet | 02:41 |
| linux_galore | Earthe1: already told you how to mount it with vfat | 02:41 |
| billytwowilly | LinuxJones, It's been rock solid, but I need to see the hoary installer to truly decide if I want to use it for my student group's installfest | 02:41 |
| LinuxJones | billytwowilly, my cdburner decided Warty is the way to go for me :D | 02:42 |
| Earthe1 | lol all that for a stupid floppy disk lol | 02:42 |
| billytwowilly | LinuxJones, that's fine. That's what warty is for. I like to be cutting edge;) warty is on my house server | 02:42 |
| alka_trash | billytwowilly: I hears ya, my friend that are trying linux out, recommend that they don't upgrade to hoary yet | 02:42 |
| rattboi | billytwowilly: did you find a hoary iso? | 02:42 |
| linux_galore | Earthe1: mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy | 02:42 |
| billytwowilly | rattboi, I didn't see a hoary iso no. | 02:42 |
| Earthe1 | it didn't work | 02:42 |
| rattboi | I just upgraded warty | 02:43 |
| MobyTurbo | Earthe1, what did you do to test if it worked? | 02:43 |
| Earthe1 | I didn't have the floppt mount point created | 02:43 |
| linux_galore | Earthe1: I changed the last part | 02:43 |

| LinuxJones | billytwowilly, haha | 02:46 |
| rattboi | hey, where is the x.org config files? | 02:46 |
| linux_galore | /mer means sound mixer sorry | 02:46 |
| udssr | thats, what i thought...i pulled everything up and still nothing comes | 02:46 |
| MobyTurbo | udssr, mute isn't activated? If it is it doesn't matter what the volume level is. | 02:46 |
| udssr | no | 02:47 |
| linux_galore | rattboi: /etc/X11/ | 02:47 |

| rattboi | I checked that too | 02:50 |
| MobyTurbo | in all the distros I've used it's xorg.conf, all lowers. | 02:50 |
| rattboi | looks like xorg-xserver isnt installed | 02:50 |
| gloin_ | ... | 02:50 |
| LinuxJones | gloin_, I have the same problem :( | 02:50 |
| rattboi | xserver-xorg | 02:50 |
| gloin_ | is there a --force option for apt-get? | 02:50 |
| linux_galore | rattboi: type X -version | 02:50 |
| MobyTurbo | rattboi, install x-window-system-core and it will pull in all the important bits. | 02:50 |
| restrex_ | ubuntu rocks :) | 02:51 |
| === gloin_ agrees with restrex_ | ||
| restrex_ | hehe :P | 02:51 |
| linux_galore | I like the clean setup for Ubuntu..device side still needs a bit more work but Im fine with it so far | 02:52 |
| gloin_ | I do want to figure out how to get past the falsely-broken dependency on this | 02:52 |
| LinuxJones | gloin_, Last I checked Ubuntu wanted to install a version of transcode that hadn't even been released by the transcode team :( | 02:52 |
| gloin_ | lol | 02:52 |
| rattboi | MobyTurbo, I'm already installing xserver-xorg | 02:52 |
| gloin_ | well | 02:52 |
| gloin_ | I have transcode | 02:52 |
| gloin_ | so | 02:52 |
| MobyTurbo | rattboi, if it's packaged like xfree you need more than that. | 02:52 |
| LinuxJones | gloin_, the correct version ? | 02:52 |
| gloin_ | I just need to find the textfile that stores the wrong info for the dvdrip package | 02:52 |
| linux_galore | rattboi: x.org isnt a single package | 02:53 |
| rattboi | I'll see if x-window-system-core is installed after | 02:53 |

| rattboi | MobyTurbo: I already had xorg-common | 02:53 |
| rattboi | ok, well I have to wait for it to finish | 02:53 |
| gloin_ | where are the info files on packages stored? | 02:53 |
| LinuxJones | gloin_, try to install dvdrip again and check the version number it requires against the version that you installed. | 02:53 |
| rattboi | MobyTurbo, I'm using synaptic to install the packages | 02:54 |
| rattboi | x-window-system-core is installed | 02:54 |
| rattboi | aka, it's got the black square next to it | 02:54 |
| linux_galore | gloin_: apt keeps its own database | 02:54 |
| rattboi | but it's also go a star in the black square | 02:54 |
| rattboi | I'm not sure what the star is for | 02:54 |
| rattboi | oh, I'm running 4.3 | 02:55 |
| rattboi | and the star means to upgrade | 02:55 |

| MobyTurbo | blahrg, ubuntu includes postfix, which a lot of people say is easy. | 03:31 |
| blahrg | it includes it or is it a package? | 03:31 |
| MobyTurbo | blahrg, includes it as part of the base and is installed by default. | 03:31 |
| blahrg | ok cool, i appreciate it, i have tried everything, i am used to qmail but someone has always got it up and running for me with scripts | 03:32 |
| blahrg | so i am trying to do it on my own :D | 03:32 |

| Pugio | I have a question concerning installation | 03:33 |
| Pugio | I have just installed Ubuntu from the i386 install CD | 03:33 |
| rattboi | well, looks like xorg is working | 03:34 |
| Pugio | there were no problems, everything was fine | 03:34 |
| MobyTurbo | rattboi, great. :-) | 03:34 |
| Pugio | now, I want to install Ubuntu on another machine I have that has no CD or Floppy drive | 03:34 |
| === DJMaze|fake is now known as Gmail | ||
| vigilanty | how do i access /etc/apt/sources.list? | 03:34 |
| Pugio | the system does however support network booting | 03:34 |
| MobyTurbo | vigilanty, with any text editor. | 03:34 |
| calamari_ | anyone familiar with grub? I'm trying to get it to act like lilo where it doesn't wait around for a menu choice, if I want the menu I need to hold shift down | 03:34 |
| MobyTurbo | vigilanty, or you can do it with synaptic | 03:34 |
| Pugio | The problem I have is, while I can network the Ubuntu machine with this machine, I can't connect either machine to the internet | 03:35 |
| rattboi | X -version doesn't really say xorg anywhere big, but it does point you to wiki.x.org for help | 03:35 |
| Pugio | so... Can I do a netboot install from one machine to the other, without going through the net? | 03:35 |
| rattboi | calamari, add hiddenmenu | 03:35 |
| rattboi | and set a low timeout | 03:36 |
| Pugio | ok, I'll restate this into a single line | 03:37 |
| vigilanty | yes i use synaptic... | 03:37 |
| Pugio | Question: How can I perform a netboot install from one Ubuntu machine to a blank machine, without going through the net | 03:37 |
| rattboi | you mean through the internet, right? | 03:37 |
| Pugio | right | 03:38 |
| Pugio | without going through the internet | 03:38 |
| rattboi | I mean without the internet | 03:38 |
| Pugio | yes | 03:38 |
| MobyTurbo | vigilanty, setings > repositories | 03:38 |
| Pugio | 1 machine has it installed, the other doesn't, I can network both together but I can't connect either to the internet | 03:38 |
| Pugio | the blank machine does support network booting | 03:38 |
| calamari_ | rattboi: thanks :) looks like I need to install lilo... esc? what were they thinking ? hehe | 03:39 |

| Pugio | no Ubuntu for me:( | 03:41 |
| rattboi | Pugio: sorry, I don't know about netbooting | 03:41 |
| thoreauputic | rattboi: probably an ident delay | 03:41 |
| MobyTurbo | rattboi, if it's taking longer than usual it could be your firewall settings blocking ident. | 03:41 |

| Pugio | it's just funny how there's always soooo many people in a chat channel, and soooo fe actual active ones | 03:42 |
| rattboi | MobyTurbo, thoreauputic: how to fix? | 03:42 |
| Symbolix | I have a HP computer that I'm trying to install Ubuntu on. I put the CD in, and select it from the boot menu, btu Windows loads instead. | 03:42 |
| thoreauputic | rattboi: frankly I don't bother - I just wait :) | 03:42 |
| rattboi | unblock port 113 or whatever? | 03:42 |
| rattboi | ah | 03:42 |

| Symbolix | Pugio: Yes | 03:44 |
| Pugio | azz: Not sure of the size, at least 5gb but probably a lot more (if that helps) | 03:45 |
| azz | Pugio: Would you be able to do a knoppix-type poor man's install where you dd the iso image onto the hard drive and then boot it? | 03:45 |
| Symbolix | Pugio: I read about downloading Debian install floppy images, but when I tried sending them to a freshly formatted floppy the floppy was not big enough | 03:45 |
| azz | Is there an OS in this computer now? | 03:45 |
| Pugio | azz: that may work, | 03:46 |
| MobyTurbo | Symbolix, you don't copy the file, you dd or rawrite it. | 03:46 |

| thoreauputic | Pugio: ah , sorry, I was confusing you with someone else :) | 03:48 |
| Symbolix | Moby: Googled it, I got it now | 03:49 |
| thoreauputic | Symbolix: rawrite is quite easy to use | 03:49 |
| MobyTurbo | Symbolix, you'll need rawrite for DOS, if you have Linux or another Unix you'd use dd. | 03:49 |
| rattboi | ok, there's just a few more things I'd like to set up | 03:50 |
| Symbolix | Ok, I found the Win32 version. So Ill just convert the imgs and pop in the floppys to install. | 03:50 |
| rattboi | how many people could browse their smb shares "out of the box"? | 03:50 |
| MobyTurbo | Symbolix, it reads the image and writes it to floppy. No converting is done. | 03:51 |
| rattboi | if I access the shares directly, aka smb://ben/D_DRIVE it will work | 03:52 |
| rattboi | but smb://ben doesn't show any shares | 03:52 |
| rattboi | and when it does work, it's really slow | 03:52 |
| bur[n] er | smb:/ben | 03:53 |
| bur[n] er | ? | 03:53 |
| bur[n] er | is that a windows box? or linux box with smb shares? | 03:53 |
| rattboi | windows | 03:53 |
| bur[n] er | do smb:/ben/sharename | 03:53 |
| rattboi | I know that | 03:53 |
| bur[n] er | for some reason, nautilus doesn't do well on top level | 03:54 |
| bur[n] er | oh right | 03:54 |
| bur[n] er | i didn't read that ;) | 03:54 |
| bur[n] er | i have the same issue | 03:54 |
| rattboi | most of the time it works ok, but it's way slow | 03:54 |
| bur[n] er | it's what keeps me in kde | 03:54 |
| bur[n] er | that and amarok/juk of course | 03:54 |
| rattboi | I don't konw what amarok is | 03:54 |
| bur[n] er | (stupid rhythmbox and it's lack of duplicate removing) | 03:54 |
| rattboi | but I like the gnome interface a lot, I really wish this worked | 03:55 |
| bur[n] er | amarok == mp3 player | 03:55 |
| bur[n] er | gnoem is prettier and more responsive to me | 03:55 |

| MobyTurbo | use xmms. :-) | 03:56 |
| MobyTurbo | I use cdrecord directly, though k3b is nice. | 03:57 |
| rattboi | if I want to access smb shares in xmms, I need to mount them somewhere, huh? | 03:57 |
| bur[n] er | beep is better than xmms for me... but not as functional as juk or amarok | 03:57 |

| farruinn | lev, you asked that same question only 4 minutes ago... | 09:15 |
| lev | and no one answered... | 09:16 |
| lev | :( | 09:16 |
| lev | so i asked again | 09:16 |
| lev | i hopes that someone would answer this time. | 09:16 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | lev: probably | 09:16 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | sorry | 09:16 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | the answer is YES | 09:16 |
| lev | ... how? | 09:16 |
| lev | Ok.. well how | 09:16 |
| farruinn | neopark, I think you'll have to do the "advanced" install once you get the installer going so you can select only the most essential packages | 09:17 |
| farruinn | I haven't done that though, so I don't know how to do it :-/ | 09:17 |
| neopark | cool so i havent used any debain based distros on mac in quite a while, how does this one run? all i am prolly gonna use it for it checking e-mail and irc. | 09:17 |

| farruinn | calc, viruses on linux? | 09:23 |
| farruinn | coming in your email? | 09:23 |
| daniels | Gmail: there are many ways to get help. and that was not it. | 09:23 |
| calc | farruinn: in email yes | 09:23 |
| calc | they don't magically stop getting sent to you in email because you run linux | 09:23 |
| calc | i usually get ~ 1.5GB/mo | 09:23 |
| farruinn | ah, I see | 09:24 |
| calc | of course around 98% of those are from debian.org | 09:24 |
| farruinn | so you're seriously talking about getting viruses in the mail that could infect your machine? | 09:24 |
| calc | no i would like to be able to tag them so they can be deleted which is what a virus scanner does... | 09:25 |
| calc | its in universe so no big deal for me, but i was surprised its not in main | 09:25 |
| calc | farruinn: the viruses would infect a windows machine yes, i get around 1000-1500 of them a day | 09:26 |
| calc | due to the fact debian.org doesn't filter viruses itself | 09:26 |
| farruinn | ok, for a bit I thought you meant you were getting viruses that were malicious to linux | 09:27 |

| anon | evening everyone | 09:29 |
| anon | i'm trying to install warty on my laptop without luck so far | 09:29 |
| Rattboi | evening | 09:29 |
| anon | the installer hangs with acpi enabled and without it, the laptop overheats and turns itself off | 09:29 |
| anon | any ideas? | 09:29 |
| jamaas | can anyone tell me the best place to put/install jdk ? I don't seem to find it with synaptic but went and got it from Sun, however don | 09:29 |
| calc | anon: try updating your bios if possible | 09:30 |
| anon | i know it is not a hardware problem coz freebsd and windows work just fine | 09:30 |
| jamaas | oooops, don | 09:30 |
| anon | tried that but still nothing | 09:30 |
| calc | oh :\ | 09:30 |
| jamaas | don't think I want it in my home directory, any suggesstions? | 09:30 |
| anon | the laptop is a hp paviallion 4502us | 09:30 |
| anon | really frustrating coz i know everything else works | 09:31 |
| farruinn | jamaas, /usr/local | 09:31 |
| jamaas | farruinn: thanks, will put it there! | 09:31 |
| farruinn | good place for things not installed by apt because nothing you install with apt will be put there | 09:31 |
| anon | the only suggestions google has come up with is using fedora | 09:31 |
| anon | but i'd really prefer to use ubuntu on my laptop and desktop | 09:31 |
| jamaas | anon: I just joined and run ubuntu on a hp pavillion notebook, what is your problem? | 09:31 |
| anon | hi jamaas | 09:32 |
| calc | anon: what did it suggest doing on fedora to make it work? | 09:32 |
| anon | well first off, the installer hangs with acpi enabled | 09:32 |
| anon | without acpi the machine overheats and turns itself off | 09:32 |
| anon | google just said it works out of the box with fedora | 09:32 |
| calc | on freebsd it has acpi enabled? | 09:32 |
| anon | calc: yes acpi is enabled with freebsd | 09:33 |
| calc | sounds like a missing workaround for some bug in the hp dsdt | 09:33 |
| jamaas | anon: this won't help much but it installed correctly on mine, are you partitioning your disk and putting it on along side MS Win? | 09:33 |
| anon | i nuked my xp partition but there still is an ntfs partition with some data on it | 09:34 |
| anon | the ntfs partition was not mounted at start time | 09:34 |
| calc | if it works on fedora it would be due to them having extra patches or using a newer kernel (unlikely) | 09:34 |
| anon | thing is i've only made it through the install once | 09:34 |
| anon | every other time the machine just turned itself off | 09:34 |
| anon | the laptop randomly turns off on average every 10 minutes with bot the warty install cd and the live cd | 09:35 |
| jamaas | anon: what is your cpu chip, mine is intel p4 2.8, is yours AMD or something slightly different? | 09:35 |
| anon | mine is amd 2400xp | 09:35 |
| anon | running at 1.7ghz | 09:35 |

| anon | yeah i tried foooling around with apm but that doean't seem to work either | 09:37 |
| anon | and yes it is difficult to troubleshoot when the machine turns itself off randomly | 09:37 |
| Hrdwr_BoB | I imagine so | 09:37 |
| jamaas | anon: digressing here, have you checked for a bios update for that chipset? | 09:38 |

| calc | or whoever hp gets the laptop from | 09:40 |
| calc | eg emachines/gateway uses arima | 09:40 |
| jamaas | anon: not suggesting anything, have no idea, just fishing. Can you set some of things to be off completely from the bios, until you get the distro loaded? | 09:40 |

| farruinn | omac, warty? I installed gxine no problem... | 09:42 |
| farruinn | probably have to enable universe and/or multiverse for those | 09:43 |

| farruinn | yes | 09:43 |

| omac | farruinn...I will try next friday to simply use the debian unstable repositories from within ubuntu. How bad does it break ubuntu if I do this? what does apt-get check do differently from doing the update from aptitude? | 09:48 |
| farruinn | apt-get check will try to fix any broken dependencies you already have | 09:49 |
| omac | farruinn...I was running all this stuff from a root prompt so I didn't need sudo. | 09:49 |
| farruinn | ok | 09:49 |
| farruinn | using the Debian repos could get you into even more trouble though | 09:50 |
| omac | doesn't aptitude do this automatically? I went into the aptitude settings miscellaneous and there is an option enabled that does exactly what you are talking about. | 09:50 |
| omac | farruinn...yes you are right considering the version numbers and labels would be different in each of these repositories for all the packages. | 09:51 |

| sherman | I'm trying to install the C-Media drivers so I can get sound from my Asus board | 09:53 |
| omac | farruinn...there was a totem video player that was installed with the original ubuntu but it didn't support divx .avi files. gx-xine and all the different flavors of xine had dependency pBa written beside them. | 09:53 |
| sherman | and the instructions that C-Media gives are kind of old, and don't really apply | 09:54 |
| farruinn | omac, I couldn't get gnome-xine to work, but gxine installed fine | 09:55 |
| farruinn | I haven't played any divx or avi's with it though | 09:55 |
| |QuaD| | farruinn: no totem-xine? | 09:55 |
| |QuaD| | thats my player of choice | 09:55 |
| omac | I suggest you do attempt to play one. I attempted with totem and did not play divx avi's. | 09:55 |
| |QuaD| | omac: not totem-gstreamer | 09:56 |
| omac | totem was installed by default with ubuntu. | 09:56 |
| |QuaD| | totem-xine | 09:56 |
| farruinn | not totem-xine however | 09:56 |
| |QuaD| | totem-gstreamer was | 09:56 |
| omac | farruinn...I mean totem-xine. | 09:56 |
| |QuaD| | totem-xine was not installed with ubuntu by default | 09:56 |

| farruinn | |QuaD|: you use a ppc? | 09:59 |
| omac | farruin...Quad...the person who owns the ibook g4 knows nothing about mac osx and computers and has an extremely open-mind about trying linux. She saw my debian x86 box and loved what I could do with it. | 09:59 |
| |QuaD| | nope | 09:59 |
| |QuaD| | x86 | 09:59 |
| |QuaD| | if she doen'st know anything about comps... i would probably say debian isn't for her (nor is ubuntu) | 10:00 |
| |QuaD| | one of the dummy linux's (like linspire) might be better | 10:00 |
| farruinn | |QuaD|: looks like totem-xine is only available as source for ppc | 10:00 |
| farruinn | omac OS X isn't enough unix for her? | 10:01 |
| omac | Quad...once ubuntu is installed correctly, there is no reason for end users to avoid it. It's just the install and configuration that's tricky in my opinion. | 10:01 |
| |QuaD| | really? that stinks... looks like you will be compiling it | 10:01 |
| |QuaD| | omac... no reason for me to argue | 10:01 |

| freemymind | is php4 easy to upgrade to php5? or possible? | 10:04 |
| omac | I'm not here to contradict you however that said fink and mac os x are not the linux source base. if source bases stay unified to linux there is more chance for portability quickly. The bottom line whatever I have running on my debian box will run on her box. | 10:05 |
| |QuaD| | but omac, the point is, it might not be the best plan for her | 10:05 |
| omac | xine isn't running on this ibook g4 ubunto linux box yet...but it will soon. | 10:05 |

| MobyTurbo | Amaranth, not quite, it has some binary drivers in "restricted" | 12:52 |

| theine | wood1: there is a netboot image though | 01:42 |
| theine | wood1: but i never did that so i can't tell you much about it | 01:42 |
| wood1 | Can I install Ubuntu from a Windows Network PC ? | 01:42 |
| theine | wood1: could be, i don't know | 01:42 |
| wood1 | Because my Hoary PC is most probably broken, and that machine does not have a CD-Drive | 01:43 |
| theine | wood1: why don't you do it the usual way | 01:43 |
| theine | wood1: oh | 01:43 |
| theine | wood1: well how did you get ubuntu installed in the first place? | 01:43 |
| wood1 | I removed the CD-ROM from any PC and plugged it into the Hoary Machine | 01:44 |
| theine | wood1: perhaps you should do that again | 01:44 |
| theine | wood1: or by a cdrom-drive for 20 bucks | 01:44 |
| wood1 | Well I am not the CEO of my company, I don't get to decide that kind of thing | 01:46 |
| theine | wood1: only once or what? | 01:46 |
| wood1 | So it's a hassle to go to somebody else's PC, then remove the CD-ROM Drive and mount it on the Hoary Machine | 01:47 |
| theine | wood1: i can see that in a way | 01:47 |
| wood1 | So the Hoary Machine is broken, how do I install Ubuntu in it once again | 01:48 |
| theine | wood1: what's broken? | 01:48 |
| wood1 | without a CD-ROM, but I do have broadband connection | 01:48 |
| wood1 | Well it seems that I have misused that Hoary Machine alot | 01:49 |
| theine | how? | 01:49 |
| wood1 | I did all kinds of things to it and now I am in the middle of nowhere | 01:49 |
| wood1 | Like the US troops in Iraq | 01:49 |

| theine | ChrisH: no no, I sure won't | 01:57 |

| ChrisH | theine: the sarge and warty versions are similar so you may be lucky. But it's not really recommended. | 01:57 |
| theine | ChrisH: what do you get when you boot the warty install cd? | 01:57 |
| pisuke | ChrisH, maybe you could try the ubuntu live cd. | 01:58 |
| ChrisH | "boot sector not found" :) | 01:58 |
| ChrisH | pisuke: don't have it here currently... left it at work | 01:58 |
| ChrisH | Next thing would be to screw out the server and install another CD-ROM because the CD works on any other system. | 01:58 |
| theine | ChrisH: that is what the bios tells you i guess? | 01:58 |

| wood1 | Rattboi, I can SSH to the Hoary Machine, can something be done from this Machine to reinstall Ubuntu on the problematic PC ? | 03:52 |
| Rattboi | wood1: I really don't know | 03:52 |
| Rattboi | I've never done any SSH stuff | 03:52 |
| HWolf | rattboi, you can't do a clean install with an ssh connection. You need to keep the ssh server running on the pc you're working on, as soon as it goes down in a kernel reboot or whatever, you get kicked out. | 03:53 |

| HWolf | Ofcourse, you could, if you scripted everything you wanted done, executed them, then beg you can get back in when it's done, but that's a difficult, and b risky. | 03:55 |
| beezly | do any of the hoary daily cd installers supporting root raid yet? | 03:55 |
| wood1 | HWofl, Can you teach me How to do that? | 03:55 |
| HWolf | woodl, I'd not try a full re-install of the system remotely, but you can ofcourse mess around, aslong as the network and ssh stay up, you'll be fine. | 03:56 |
| Amaranth | wood1: Let me get you a Debian network install guide | 03:56 |
| Amaranth | it might apply to ubuntu | 03:56 |
| HWolf | woodl, No, i couldn't. | 03:56 |
| HWolf | That might work. | 03:56 |

| Pugio | I am trying to do a netboot install of Ubuntu on a machine I have | 03:58 |
| Pugio | but I'm a bit confused | 03:58 |
| Amaranth | wood1: instead of a debootstrap rpm pull the deb off the ubuntu isntall CD | 03:58 |
| Pugio | Do I need internet access to perform a netboot install? | 03:59 |
| Pugio | All I want to do is perform an installation exactly like the CD... only a netboo | 03:59 |
| Amaranth | you mean to boot from a NFS volume? | 03:59 |

| zenwhen | perhaps* | 04:05 |
| Pugio | ? | 04:05 |
| Pugio | how so? | 04:05 |
| zenwhen | Because Ubuntu does not support net installs. | 04:05 |

| Amaranth | wood1: Pull the debootstrap deb off the CD on the machine you're using to SSH | 04:05 |

| Pugio | I have a usb key, how can I do it with that? | 04:08 |
| wood1 | I guess I have to remove the CD drive and just mount it on the problematic Hoary Machine | 04:08 |
| Amaranth | wood1: i can guide you through parts you don't understand | 04:08 |
| Falstius | usb memory stick. Some of them can be made bootable | 04:08 |
| Pugio | right, but my bios doesn't support that:( | 04:08 |
| Amaranth | Pugio: Read that second link I gave you. | 04:09 |
| Falstius | then what are you doing with a computer without CD, floppy or USB boot support? | 04:09 |
| Amaranth | Falstius: It could be a laptop. | 04:09 |
| wood1 | Amaranth, the main problem that I have been having in the Hoary Machine is that I get a screen resolution of only 640 x 480 | 04:09 |
| Pugio | No it's a normal desktop/tower | 04:09 |
| Pugio | problem is the CD drive and floppy drive both broke | 04:09 |
| Pugio | As I said however, it does have netboot capabilities | 04:09 |
| Pugio | only the newest BIOS's have usb boot capability | 04:10 |
| Amaranth | wood1: and? i meant i could guide you through the ssh ubuntu install :P | 04:10 |
| wood1 | Till yesterday, the problematic Hoary Machine's screen resolution worked fine in 1024 x 768 mode | 04:10 |
| Falstius | sorry, I've never played with netboot outside of embedded controllers in VME crates. | 04:10 |
| wood1 | I did something that I can't remember that made my screen resolution to 640 x 480 | 04:10 |
| Pugio | Amaranth: I had read that link, but I still have a question: Do I need the internet for this? | 04:10 |
| Amaranth | Pugio: hrm | 04:11 |

| wood1 | Amaranth, as I said, the OpenOffice problem is a minor thing, it's the resolution that matters to me more | 04:11 |
| wood1 | Do you have any clue why my screen resolution is limited only to 640 x 480 ? | 04:12 |
| Amaranth | wood1: Computer -> System Configuration -> Screen Resolution can't increase it? | 04:12 |
| Falstius | wood, probably using the wrong driver in /etx/X11/XF86config | 04:12 |
| Amaranth | wood1: do you use a binary ATI or nVidia driver for video? | 04:12 |
| Falstius | most likely vga instead of whatever your hardware is | 04:12 |
| wood1 | Yes it can't | 04:12 |
| Amaranth | your kernel could have gotten updated | 04:12 |
| Amaranth | which means you need to reinstall the binary driver | 04:13 |
| wood1 | My Video card is an inbuilt Intel 810 graphics card | 04:13 |
| Amaranth | ok, ouch | 04:13 |
| Amaranth | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:13 |
| Amaranth | until it asks you for Advanced, Medium, Easy or whatever you can usually just accept the defaults | 04:14 |
| wood1 | I did that a few times but I am still facing the same 640 x 480 problem | 04:14 |
| Amaranth | when you get to that choice choose Medium and pick a nice large resolution | 04:14 |
| Amaranth | ok, no clue then | 04:14 |
| Amaranth | this is why you run warty :P | 04:14 |
| wood1 | Yes, what after the Advanced thing ? | 04:14 |
| Amaranth | don't pick advanced | 04:15 |
| Amaranth | pick medium | 04:15 |
| Falstius | why is everyone trying to run hoary? seems it is still rather unstable. | 04:15 |
| Rattboi | Falstius, because it's funner :P | 04:15 |
| Amaranth | Falstius: I have a feeling a lot of them are Debian sid people that switched for GNOME 2.8. | 04:15 |
| Falstius | Rattboi, maybe I should rephrase, why are a bunch of noobs trying to run an unstable distro? | 04:16 |
| wood1 | Now regarding the limited 640 x 480 resolution in Hoary, is that due to XOrg or my Video Card ? | 04:16 |
| wood1 | Well I am using Hoary just for fun on a test machine | 04:16 |
| Amaranth | Falstius: XComposite :P | 04:16 |

| Wiseguy | hi - I'm searching for a printer or a combined printer/scanner model that 100% works in ubuntu | 04:25 |
| Wiseguy | any tipps for me? | 04:25 |
| Falstius | hypegt, isn't there a Startup directory in your home directory? | 04:25 |
| cardador | Wiseguy: i have hp officejet r65 and works flawlessly | 04:26 |
| Amaranth | wood1: ? | 04:26 |
| Falstius | Wiseguy, I couldn't get the HP5100 to scan (tried for about 30 minutes) | 04:26 |
| Wiseguy | hm | 04:27 |
| Wiseguy | so you're saying that I should stick to HP? | 04:27 |
| Wiseguy | because I tried an epson cx3200 in fedora core 3 and it was recognised automatically | 04:27 |
| Wiseguy | and worked flawlessly | 04:27 |
| Falstius | I'm am saying I COULD NOT get it to scan. Never tried anything else. | 04:27 |
| Wiseguy | but not in ubuntu - sadly | 04:27 |
| hypegt | Falstius: nope, should there be? | 04:27 |
| Wiseguy | hm | 04:28 |
| Falstius | hypegt, I think that's the new standard. Could try creating it and then putting in softlinks to the executables or scripts you want to run. I've never done it. | 04:28 |
| alexissoft | i've the HPBI1100 | 04:28 |
| alexissoft | works fine | 04:29 |
| alexissoft | but with a cups server :) | 04:29 |
| Falstius | hypegt: but it can't hurt .. much ;) | 04:29 |
| Wiseguy | cardador, where can I get an officejet r65? | 04:29 |
| alexissoft | Wiseguy, in a shop | 04:29 |
| alexissoft | in your grocery store ;) | 04:29 |
| hypegt | Falstius: cool, just trying to get tpb to run on startup and i'll have everything from the hoary install cleared up, woohoo | 04:29 |
| Wiseguy | so it's still sold.. | 04:30 |

| Wiseguy | ;D | 04:31 |
| Wiseguy | hm | 04:31 |
| Wiseguy | well, seems like I'll have to stick with a single printer + scanner solution | 04:31 |
| Wiseguy | I looked at the hardware compatibility list on the ubuntu wiki | 04:31 |
| Wiseguy | there aren't many devices listed | 04:31 |
| Wiseguy | is there any other source where I could look for such stuff? | 04:32 |
| Amaranth | if it works in debian it should work in ubuntu | 04:32 |
| Wiseguy | all I need is a printer and a scanner which work flawlessly | 04:32 |
| Falstius | wiseguy, there is support for it. Most of the scanner printers are really just an old scanner repackaged and so you can tell ubuntu to pretend it is that. Check out the xsane information. | 04:32 |
| Wiseguy | hm | 04:32 |
| Wiseguy | ok | 04:32 |
| Amaranth | and the gentoo forums offer ways to get printers and such working with gentoo, shouldn't be much different to get them to work on ubuntu | 04:33 |
| Wiseguy | I think I'll fetch my old scanner from my parents place and try that one out | 04:33 |
| hypegt | Falstius: oops, thanks for the help too ;) | 04:33 |

| ogra | hp support for epson ??? | 07:05 |
| Nap | ogra : which version of the ndiswrapper-utils package do you have ? And as for the kernel ? | 07:05 |
| liquidsnake | the default driver for epson stylus color 680 doesnt work with 685 | 07:05 |
| ogra | you mean epson support or hp support | 07:05 |
| liquidsnake | i mean | 07:05 |
| liquidsnake | i need a driver for epson stylus color 685 | 07:06 |
| liquidsnake | on default installation is no driver for this printer | 07:06 |
| ogra | Nap: sorry, i dont use it, but the kernel module should fit to your kernel version.... compare the packages: linux-image and linx-restricted-modules on your system.... | 07:06 |
| ogra | Nap: the version numbers should match | 07:06 |
| liquidsnake | (on slackware it is) | 07:06 |
| liquidsnake | where to get this driver? | 07:06 |
| Nap | ogra : the mismatch is between the kernel module and the userland utilities | 07:07 |
| ogra | liquidsnake: i have no such printer, the 15-20 printers i tried with ubuntu yet worked out of the box.... | 07:07 |

| thoreauputic | superted: once it's set up, he shouldn't need to use sudo with it | 07:38 |
| _jute_ | so the real question is, are these things even supposed to work on the live cd, or are they for real installations? :) | 07:39 |

| _jute_ | sound at least i'd expect ... | 07:39 |

| JStrike | Although, I am not too sure whether that should be creating tables or just an empty database | 08:16 |
| arzajac | FunnyHat: setup menu system? | 08:17 |
| FunnyHat | arzajac: Well, the main setup menu that you get using the install CD has the step to choose to install GRUB or LILO, but it makes you partition first when you select that option. | 08:17 |
| FunnyHat | Is there a command to run in the console of ubuntu setup disk to setup grub or lilo? | 08:18 |
| JStrike | But MythTV setup complains about "Incorrect database name 'mythconverg ' " When that database does seem to exist (albeit without any tables) | 08:18 |
| arzajac | FunnyHat: Use expert mode. Set up your disk and tell it to not format the partitions and use existing data. Go to the end and install grub. | 08:19 |
| FunnyHat | arzajac: Ok, I'll try that. | 08:20 |
| FunnyHat | arzajac: How do i get into expert mode? | 08:20 |
| arzajac | FunnyHat: Do you need to install or reinstall grub/lilo? | 08:20 |
| === ploum [~ploum@123-21.241.81.adsl.skynet.be] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| FunnyHat | arzajac: Install. | 08:21 |
| FunnyHat | arzajac: I think I got it though. | 08:21 |
| arzajac | FunnyHat: What Os do you have on the system now? | 08:21 |
| FunnyHat | arzajac: Windows and Linux. (Windoze for just some games). When I installed windows though, it deleted LILO from the MBR (of course). | 08:21 |
| arzajac | FunnyHat: Cuz you can just chroot into your partition and install-grub /dev/hda (or whatever..) Boot from the installer and chroot. | 08:22 |
| FunnyHat | arzajac: I'll try that if this doesn't work.... It seems to be re-copying the base system over (hopefully it'll just overwrite the files rather than make duplicates) | 08:23 |
| arzajac | FunnyHat: OUCH! You may screw up your system by writing over them. In expert mode, you can just skip to the end... | 08:24 |
