[12:00] <|QuaD|> hah [12:00] Yes [12:00] SuSE_UsER, yeah very easy [12:00] It's much better than Suse [12:00] I used Suse before Ubuntu [12:00] <|QuaD|> SuSE_UsER: i removed suse 3 days after putting it on [12:00] *laughs* now now [12:00] Ubuntu >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Suse [12:00] <|QuaD|> then put suse on [12:00] i want to have more than 1 distro on my pc :) === netmonk [~netmonk@nat-30.c0msys.net] has joined #ubuntu [12:00] <|QuaD|> how many distros you have?

[12:03] <|QuaD|> sjoerd: why? [12:03] well i just want to check more then 3 :0 [12:03] if you stick with one, you stand a chance of actually learning how it works [12:03] E: Couldn't find package mplayer [12:03] gumpish, wiki, restrictedformats === intinig|away is now known as intinig [12:03] <|QuaD|> SuSE_UsER: i reccomend trying slackware and gentoo if you are looking to learn about the many different ones [12:03] |QuaD|: because knoppix is life cd, while the other two are normal distributions [12:03] you know what they say: [12:04] <|QuaD|> sjoerd: you can install sjoerd [12:04] i thought about fedora [12:04] learn red hat and you'll know how to use red hat [12:04] learn Slackware and you'll know how to use linux [12:04] |QuaD|: i hope you can't install me :).. Yeah you can install knoppix, but then your using knoppix as your debian installer basically [12:04] SuSE_UsER: I hope the fedora thought passed quickly to /dev/null ;) [12:04] the variety between distros is really quite minimal once you actuall start understanding how things work. [12:05] SuSE_UsER: if you want to try, use them at least for a few monts.. [12:05] that's mostly true [12:05] <|QuaD|> Matt|: yeah [12:05] SuSE_UsER: otherwise your just trying the install :) [12:05] :) [12:06] SuSE_UsER, LFS [12:06] mhess: lfs? [12:06] "Linux From Scratch" [12:07] probably the easiest distro out there [12:07] best installer ever [12:07] mhess: im not looking for very easy distro [12:07] suse is easy enough [12:07] i want to try something different ;) [12:08] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ [12:08] SuSE_UsER, try drugs [12:08] Matt|: hrm.no..wrong assumption.. gnome still wont start..

You have to read all the way down the wiki [12:10] nm - skipped to the relevant portion [12:11] Matt|: all partitions are mounted just fine hehe.. otherwise the problems would be of very different nature i assume..

[02:20] yes [02:20] and close tabs by left clicking too [02:20] And I'm surprised by the "FinishInstallationHowto", indicating I have to compile nNidia drivers. I thought that wasn't the case... [02:20] marble2: did you get it open? [02:20] yes bit torrentu on ubuntu YES [02:20] <_|Imanewbie|_> jdodson: are you getting directconnections?

[02:21] mdke ok in that case the option in preferences won't do what you want, that's only for links that would open in a new window, or for popups without a size [02:21] <_|Imanewbie|_> jdodson: Are you able to get direct connections? [02:21] links that just lead to different page on the same host would be opened in the same tab [02:21] fdisk -l /dev/hda1 [02:22] then mount using: mount command [02:22] lmanewbie: i can connect to a seed and download the file/files fine if that is what you mean.

[02:26] greg@Greg:/dev $ mount hda1 [02:26] mount: can't find hda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [02:27] try this: mount /dev/hda1 /media [02:27] housetier: what do you mean erm? [02:27] what do you need them for if I might ask [02:27] had to use sudo... but [02:27] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [02:27] crappy bootloader [02:27] housetier: oh i see, i'd like to see the ipw2100 patch as it seems to be different from the official one [02:28] marble, was hda1 your NTFS partition? [02:28] lmanewbie: i installed teh bittorrent from universe and bittorent gui from universe. [02:28] it might be hdb1 or hda2 [02:28] the installer doesnt give me any choice if i want to install to MBR or hda.. anybody? please?

[02:29] i tried fdisk -l hda [02:29] look for the partition name associated with NTFS [02:29] huh? [02:30] marble, you may PM the result of your fdisk commands if you wish [02:30] theine you will find all the patched in the source package for the kernel "apt-get source kernel-source-version" or so [02:30] Are the terms "multiverse" and "universe" used interchangeably? === HaRDaWaY [~ubuntu@183.Red-83-39-3.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu [02:31] housetier: great, i'll have a look then === harper [~sdkliinet@202.137.165.253] has left #ubuntu ["http://www.1badmonkey.net"] [02:34] Marble2: this will help I think >>> http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions === tvon|x31 [tvon@dsl093-119-225.blt1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has joined #ubuntu [02:35] tritium: hrm, I *thought* they were different (get a 2nd opinion tho) [02:35] tritium, AFAIK, no [02:35] tritium: it must be a FAQ [02:35] tritium http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/helpcenterfaq.2004-10-20.1228090247 [02:36] housetier: it's not different at all actually, just a very old one === Matt| [~Matt|@81-178-89-168.dsl.pipex.com] has joined #ubuntu === JStrike [~joel@c2-64-2.eno.dial.mweb.co.za] has left #Ubuntu [] [02:37] Xenguy & far_away: thanks!

[02:44] I think my Ubuntu is dead x_x [02:45] funnylookinhat, check the media howto in the forums.. (howto threads) === jiyuu0 [~jiyuu0@219.95.165.213] has joined #ubuntu [02:45] tritium: I don't use nVidia, but the stock open source driver is nv I seem to recall - but it doesn't do 3D, again IIRC [02:46] thoreauputic: You're right about the nvidia vs. nv driver, but both of these Howto's deal with the binary nvidia driver in different ways. [02:46] tritium: ah, I see [02:46] thoreauputic: Thanks for your help all the same! :) [02:46] yeah, I think there's a lot of ways to install it [02:47] I followed this guide called "The Debian Way" to get mine to work [02:47] I suppose so. It looks like the BinaryDriverHowto should be the preferred method. [02:47] Anyway, I have an ubuntu success story. My hard drive failed to the point that I can't boot from it. (Buzzing, whirring, etc.) [02:48] tritium: heh - "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" - anyway, I believe people have had success with the drivers :) [02:48] I was able to use the ubuntu LiveCD to mount the drive and recover some important data! :) [02:48] Awesome. [02:49] I think my Ubuntu is going to hell though unluckily. [02:49] It was a huge relief. I had backups, but not the latest changes to some importat work. [02:49] Quest-Master: what happened? [02:49] Quest-Master: /var/cache/apt/archives, if your question was not answered before [02:49] is there none here that knows how to install Grub/Lilo to MBR with Ubuntu ? [02:49] My apt-get is broken. [02:50] Worst thing EVER. [02:50] I just reinstalled Ubuntu 2 days ago too. [02:50] for those of you interested - I'm playing with the chatzilla extension for firefox and it's quite impressive, IMO. has some nice easy to use features and looks pretty good as well [02:50] I'm actually on a debian system until my replacement hard drive comes tomorrow, and I'll install ubuntu. [02:50] That's where debian keeps .deb files anyway.

You cannot do this from sarge. You may have an easier time with woody due to your older hardware... [03:58] Symbolix: You can even install from floppy... [03:58] arzajac: Well, I was thinking that I might be downloading the wrong images for the debian installation [03:59] arzajac: I was downloading the most up to date, but in the docs ont he ubunntu CD the date is about 3 months earlier === thoreauputic_ [~debianarc@wolax8-060.dialup.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu [04:00] arzajac: i cant find any earlier images on the debian server [04:00] Symbolix: I see. I can't remember if there are boot floppies made for the sarge d-i. The Warty installer uses an old d-i. Even before the pre rc2. RC2 is the most recent...

[04:07] Stuttergart, in addition, I know for a fact that you can have /boot partitioned off and have it on a normal partition and boot via it and an initrd [04:07] I don't think it is... though I'm pretty sure sarge supports it now which means horay should have it [04:08] scotth: I'm not even to that point yet. I need to get a 1 and 1.5 stage boot loader in place before I can even start thinking about that.

[04:09] I think LVM is there to put things like /home onto [04:09] Without having to manually remove every single individual one of course [04:09] I need the flexibility of resizing and shuffling volumes.

I tried lilo and it messed up my boot. [06:19] aye, but what about usability [06:19] grub-install [06:19] calamari_: If memory serves grub-install device [06:20] sm, toresbe: thanks [06:20] toresbe: i dunno yet. i'm a gentooer who just installed ubuntu today. i'm new to debian and gnome as well, but I'm getting along ok so far.

[06:20] Muskrat: Far, far, far, *FAR* easier [06:20] lol [06:21] newbie question: can anybody tell me a quick way to check out my kernel config? /proc/config.gz doesn't seem to exist, and I don't have my (generic ubuntu) kernel sources installed. I'd like to look at the default Ubuntu kernel config...

[06:33] yes [06:33] it's not really working for me [06:33] sm, you have? [06:33] rattboi: apt-get is a text-only system/. Aptitude is a user-friendly package browser for consoles, and synaptic is a graphiucal one [06:33] oh [06:33] yeah, I use apt-get and synaptic [06:34] I saw some people using aptitude, just didn't know what it was [06:34] rattboi: They are all front-ends to dpkg. Apologies for typos, I have a cut on my finger [06:34] that's cool [06:34] just ran aptitude [06:34] ...I think I'll stick with synaptic when I can [06:35] I prefer using juyst apt-cache search, apt-cache show and apt-get [06:36] well, one of the main reasons I got ubuntu is because it looks good [06:36] don't want to spend all my time at console, or I'd just install DSL or something [06:36] so nobody got bootsplash to work? [06:37] I think I want bootsplash and I need to get captive-ntfs working and I'm done messing with my system for a while [06:37] ... [06:37] dear god [06:37] don't want to spend all my time at console, or I'd just [06:37] install DSL or something [06:38] heh; my primary task thus far in ubuntu has been to make the good-looking things go away. i like ion2 and xterm, and that's it. console is my friend... === pavel_ [~pavel@63-226-192-152.tukw.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu [06:38] Have you a slow computer moquist? === redhedgehog [~chatzilla@209-112-221-121-cdsl-rb1.sol.acsalaska.net] has joined #ubuntu [06:38] netsplit: I do, but I don't care :P [06:38] moquist: Why not just use debian net install, starts you off with almost nothing [06:39] moquist: switch to the ubuntu repository (for what ever reason you would want to do that that) [06:39] moquist: [06:39] melazyboy: 'cuz I want to explore ubuntu, not debian. :) [06:39] I need help with configuring the rate on my wireless card. Anybody here know how I can switch from 2Mb/s to 11Mb/s? [06:40] melazyboy: I probably won't really get rid of all the pretties. i might try gnome+ion2 if I can make them play ok together. (i haven't used any desktop env for a couple years now) === ezsquirt [bowser@82.224.19.51] has joined #ubuntu [06:40] what's ion2? [06:42] Probably some kind of window manager? [06:42] rattboi: ion2 is a window manager that assumes a different type of windowing model. [06:43] wait, I think I know it [06:43] Keyboard-friendly window manager with tiled windows (v2) [06:43] rattboi: the premise (from my perspective, anyway) is that you don't want any wasted space on your desktop - i.e., why is there a need for a background? [06:43] because i had that same idea before [06:43] I tried ratpoison or something like that once. [06:43] I was like "it'd be cool if" and there was ion2 [06:43] netsplit: and the keyboard-friendliness is the other primary draw for me. if I can not use my mouse, that's wonderful. [06:43] :P [06:43] But never got to learning all the keyboard bindings. [06:44] or rather, not need to use my mouse. === redhedgehog [~chatzilla@209-112-221-121-cdsl-rb1.sol.acsalaska.net] has left #ubuntu [] [06:44] of course, this is when I was using windows, so I didn't really research it much [06:44] rattboi: from the Ion project Manifesto: "Usability simply does not equal low learning curve".

[06:46] what's Plone? [06:46] I saw that yersterday somwehere [06:46] Plone is an OSS CMS for Zope, which is an Application Server written in python.

When I try to run an install script I get the error bash; ./installMapleLinuxSU: bin/bash: bad interpreter: Permission Denied [06:48] Any ideas why I get this error? [06:49] unshavenyak: what's the first line of the install script? 'head -n1 installMapleLinuxSU' [06:50] unshavenyak: well, regardless, your installscript is attempting to execute an interpreter (the bash shell, in this case) that either doesn't exist or is not executable by the current user. [06:50] !/bin/sh [06:50] hrmm I'm executing it as root and I'm fairly certain bash is installed [06:52] unshavenyak: I'm confused by a couple things. That line should be "#!/bin/sh", not "!/bin/sh".

[07:18] moquist: except OOo doesn't exit at all when you do that? [07:18] GotD0t: right. i always have to 'kill -i' OO/soffice if I have to kill it at all.

[07:29] hyrcan: oic [07:30] hyrcan: well I can plug the pad into that port, I don't really care as long as it works :) [07:30] hehe [07:30] reversal how is the time messed up? [07:31] reversal`: time is messed up in windows? probably because its retarded and doesn't know how to read the system clock... or your battery for the clock is dead and ubuntu updates from time servers on startup [07:31] hehe... [07:31] and if you've got win xp it updates from servers that are about 10 seconds off [07:31] which pissed me off so much [07:31] no, i mean, the time is fine, it just happens after i restart from ubuntu [07:31] but not on startup [07:31] I think it's more likly that linux thinks the system clock is set to UTC where as windows normally sets it to local time... [07:32] no not 10 seconds, like hours lol. [07:32] how messed up is it? [07:32] 5 hours maybe [07:32] yep...thats what it is probally... [07:32] I don't get it... [07:32] do I need to patch the kernel for bootsplash? [07:32] reversal`: where are you? [07:32] new yawk [07:32] oh ye4a [07:32] when I patch, it says some of the files are already there, aka bootsplash.c, .h [07:32] ding [07:32] hyrcan: any idea what the gamepad device would be called ?

[07:35] reversal`: yea... it must be because linux sets the system clock to UTC and then adjusts for time zones and windows thinks the system clock is set to local time [07:35] hyrcan: thanks.. just found a guy in ##linux that has a gamepad working :) [07:35] Calamari rock on [07:35] Z) [07:35] any way to fix that? [07:35] an change time [07:35] oops wrong window [07:35] lol [07:35] reversal`: set your timezone in windows to UTC [07:36] reversal`: then it won't compensate [07:36] err [07:36] wait [07:36] hmm === wmealing_ [wmealing@wmealing.user] has joined #ubuntu === wmealing_ tips his hat [07:36] no clue [07:36] that wont work [07:36] im sorry... not all here [07:36] I think what reversal needs to do is tell linux to stops changing the time...and just report it....I can't remember what the freking command is... just a sec === meff [~meff@meff.user] has joined #ubuntu [07:37] yeah i dont think its a windows setting problem [07:37] hmm [07:37] ah here we go... http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/system-administrator/ch-sysadmin-time.html [07:37] or reversal` can stop booting into windows ;-) that would be optimal... and it would free a hell of a lot of disk space :-P [07:37] thanks [07:37] can anyone give the md5sum of the warty for powerpc iso ?

[07:39] imagine that [07:39] reversal in your linux install do a " data " and make sure it's the right time...(it will be in 24hr time I think ) [07:39] cs, hl2, enemy territory, doom 3, yes i know et and d3 have linux versions but im too lazy to set it up [07:40] reversal if it's the right time then run " hwclock --systohc " === wmealing_ playcs cs,hl2 and dIII on Fedora with cedega [07:40] hwclock --systohc will do what exactly? === ironwolf [~ironwolf@c-24-6-169-124.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [07:40] well not DIII, but i play it native [07:40] hwclock -systohc will set your hardware clock to the current System time... [07:41] http://releases.ubuntu.com/warty/ MD5SUMS [07:41] yeah, i got it. [07:41] shouldnt i add --utc? [07:41] if you change your system time to the current time in NY which is about 1:41 (I'm down in DC) and then run hwclock which you reboot to windows it should be corrent... [07:42] if thats what windows uses? [07:42] ubuntu time was never wrong though. [07:43] check our this page for more info http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/system-administrator/ch-sysadmin-time.html [07:43] im confused :( [07:43] yeah i checked that page out and it looks like i should be doing hwclock --systohc --utc [07:43] right? [07:43] Ubuntu understands what UTC is and adjust the time shown to you by the timezone... Windows doesn't know what UTC is so it things the hardware clock is localtime thus being 5hours off...

[07:45] read the page some to there is some good info on setting it up to automatically pull the time etc...just remember that you need the hardware clock to be set to local time not UTC and you should be fine... if not then there;s something else wrong...

[07:48] just ask brymaster if we can we will :) [07:49] i'm thinking it's a video setting but not sure [07:49] hmm... sounds like the X isn't picking up your monitor resolution correct...or the video card... [07:49] because vesa mode seems to work [07:49] yeah [07:50] can you go to a terminal ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 etc...??? [07:50] i had a problem like this before with x and the nvidia drivers. i had to specify that my monitor was a CRT [07:50] haven't tried that yet. i'll have to try in a sec when i reboot [07:51] if i can, what should i do then? [07:51] or is there some other option i can try? [07:52] Can't remember if you can manually select your video setup on the livecd...haven't played with it enough...but thats definitely whats going on... [07:52] yeah [07:52] alright then. i'll probably just have to stick with vesa mode and not use the nvidia drivers for my card. i'll get it another shot [07:53] if you can get to a console then you could change the settings that X is using....but you'd have to do that every time you booted witch is a pain [07:53] yeah, that is a pain [07:53] wish i knew what the exact prob was so i could submit it to ubuntu as a bug or something === pepsi_ [~pepsi@p90.n-sfpop06.stsn.com] has joined #ubuntu [07:54] :-X yik...you can check the error logs and see if they say anything...like what is it actually thinking you have? that sort of thing...

[11:34] Amaranth, If I install Debian Woody, how can I upgrade it to Ubuntu Warty ?

[11:36] wood1: just pull a CDROM drive from another machine and put it in that one temporarily [11:36] ctd: in the FACE [11:36] Well I want to install Woody 3, it seems challenging [11:37] bob2: Enough of shameless self-promotion. [11:37] i wish i kne how to configure them where the actual dvd device is, [11:37] I heard that Ubuntu Warty supports upgrading from Debian Woody 3 [11:37] Nexinarus: they don\'t have a preference thing? or command line options? [11:37] wood1: are you sure? check the website. [11:37] Nexinarus: what is your dvd device, anyway? [11:37] wood1: I did it, it doesn't work right. [11:38] It'll work ok until the first version conflict. [11:38] Nexinarus: there is a newer version of VLC in debian sid, like 6 bugfixes [11:38] Ubuntu mentions that it supports upgrade from Woody [11:38] I am sure [11:38] Amaranth: but can one upgrade from debian (testing) to ubuntu? using apt ? [11:38] How do i get the newer version of vlc, all i see is 0.7.2 (old) ? [11:38] twilit: You can try. :p [11:38] Nexinarus: I really doubt that is the problem [11:38] Again, it works fine until the first version conflict. [11:38] Amaranth: sweet!! [11:38] Nexinarus: are you really really really sure that making the /dev/dvd symlink doesn't help? [11:38] yeah something stupid is happening, [11:39] Maybe i need not wait for my CDs [11:39] ill try again, === cenerentola [~cenerento@213.151.107.243] has joined #ubuntu [11:39] vlc just about worked (the dvd drive span) [11:39] twilit: If you're going to try to upgrade like that you might as well just download the ISO off the website and burn a CD. [11:40] Amaranth should we restart the SSH thing to remotely install Hoary on the Problematic Machine ? [11:40] Nexinarus: type this as root 'echo deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable contrib main non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list' [11:40] wood1: I don't feel confortable trying to guide you through that. [11:40] You're more likely to end up with a machine that can't boot at all. [11:40] Amaranth: ok. i have been putting this upgrade off out of laziness & ignorance [11:41] Nexinarus: apt-get update, and apt-get install vlc, then remove that line from your sources.list, and re update to rid your db of sid [11:41] hmelazyboy, does that work for ubuntu or only other debian releases? [11:41] Nexinarus instead of mixing debian and ubuntu repositories you could just download the .deb from packages.debian.org [11:41] Nexinarus: Or comment it out and switch between sid and hoary like i do =D === jdub [~jdub@213.151.107.243] has joined #ubuntu [11:41] or pin it to hoary [11:41] melazyboy: I was doing that too. [11:41] hmm, [11:41] Nexinarus: Works for ubuntu im using a mix of ubuntu, and sid [11:41] what do people think of xchat-gnome ?? it wound be nice if they used irssi as the core but the rewrite wasn't started when they started [11:41] Bad idea. :P [11:41] hoary and sid rather === thx1138 [~bdusauso@170.28-136-217.adsl.skynet.be] has joined #ubuntu [11:42] I'd never mix repositories without pinning [11:43] Amaranth: Don't care =D live dangerously they are essentially the same thing anyway, net install sid, install xorg, and gnome, totem, evolution, gaim and openoffice, and you get a rough equivelent to ubuntu =/ [11:43] not everyone wants to be "livin' on the edge" [11:44] [11:44] melazyboy: Except that ubuntu's packages have 'ubuntu-x' on the end of the version. [11:44] hahaha [11:44] oh, no - [11:44] Amaranth: Right and when the number version differs to the point where ubuntu takes the lead, it will kick in when i apt-get dist-upgrade, because i take special precaution not to break ubuntu-desktop [11:45] sounds like a headache === Amaranth will just stick to hoary [11:45] same packages just a little later [11:45] Is compiling a different Kernel supported in Ubuntu ?

[11:47] As for XOrg, that's just there for test purposes [11:47] far far far too many people are running hoary with no clue what it is [11:47] :( === alejandro__ is now known as quimicucho [11:47] apt-get often gets confused by strange situations; non-beginners can generally deal with it [11:47] alternatively i could rip the dvd, though im new to ripping in linux (done it in windows) === oferw [oferw@DSL217-132-13-146.bb.netvision.net.il] has joined #ubuntu === davmor2 [~dave@82-37-27-42.cable.ubr04.wolv.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu [11:47] twilit: no.. i don't suggest to do that [11:47] Well I did not see the difference between XOrg and XFree86 [11:47] fabbione: ok [11:48] Kamion: My solution usually ends up being dpkg --force-all ;) [11:48] fabbione: thanks [11:48] XOrg, sucks, that was the only move i regret on this install im just to lazy to revert back to XFree86 [11:48] wood1: no, you aren't really supposed to be able to yet :-) [11:48] Amaranth: that's bad ... [11:48] wood1: that's because the differences are internal, and the new features aren't exploited yet [11:48] Kamion: Yeah, I know. [11:48] hi [11:48] But only for individual packages. [11:48] Amaranth: I know somebody who used that carelessly on an individual package and had his /sbin replaced by a file [11:48] anyone knows a program what runs well under ubuntu like mldonkey? [11:48] But if you have some fun machine to play with, you can install Hoary on it [11:48] o_O [11:48] Ouch! === herman_ [~herman@213-132-207-191.adsl.nlhosting.nl] has joined #ubuntu [11:48] Amaranth: have you looked at what --force-all implies?

[12:53] on disconnections i mean, [12:53] d4x is the best downloader [12:54] okay [12:54] I'm trying to make my own kernel here [12:54] I've installed kernel-source package [12:54] Nexinarus: You're talking about DCC transfer; while ChibiFS and Gmail are talking about web downloading. [12:54] symlinked /usr/src/linux to where the kernel is [12:54] I've make menuconfig'd then make then make modules_install [12:54] So now, how do I add an entry into grub? [12:54] nah im talking about web downloading [12:55] I'm used to specifiying 'bzImage', but no other entry even uses that file. [12:55] Oh, I see. [12:55] Ribs: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html will serve you best. [12:55] guess i said "disconnections" a little wrong heh [12:55] thanks === ^ToTo^ [~ToTo@host168-133.pool8254.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu [12:56] For compatibility with Ubuntu's kernels, when you do make-kpkg kernel_image, do make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image instead. [12:56] Nexinarus: Use the '-r' option for wget [12:57] Or "-c" for "--continue". [12:57] ctd: "-r" is recursive. That's not what he wants, I think. [12:57] paulproteus: Sorry, get those ones mixed around some time.

[01:02] Can somebody here guide me to setup Ubuntu on a Remote Machine using SSH and a broadband internet connection ? [01:03] thom whats the local archive for the conf ? === Nexinarus [~nexinarus@218-101-69-17.dialup.clear.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu [01:04] look on the wiki for how to install ubuntu using knoppix [01:04] Aha i have finally got dvd's to play! [01:05] If anyone is interested, my first problem was that i linked /dev/dvd to /dev/cdrom (as i have a combo drive) but i forgot to set read permission priviliages. secondly i didnt have libdvdcss2 installed so i couldnt play encrypted dvd's. Now they play perfect [01:07] Ribs: Sure. :) [01:07] Oh, wait, ribs. [01:07] run this at a console: [01:07] date -I [01:07] It outputs the date in ISO format. ISO format has a lot of advantages, and you should put them to work for you in your kernel package version. [01:07] so: [01:07] make-kpkg --append-to-version=.`date -I`-custom --initrd kernel_image [01:08] The backticks will capture the output of "date -I" and put it there; so that way, it comes out nice and clean and readable, and it sorts correctly, and it's automatic. === Ribs stab paulproteus [01:08] I'm not aborting it twice :P [01:09] is it required to be in ISO format? [01:09] It's just a name, right? [01:09] Ribs: Sure, just a name. [01:09] No big deal. [01:09] phew :) [01:09] I've not really bothered to set up anything [01:09] At the same time, do notice how cool ISO date format is: it sorts correctly by string sort.

[08:11] I guess I could find my (R)(I)(P) disk and use it to setup X through a chroot, but before I do it, is there a Grub option that stops GDM from being started on boot?

[08:12] jcole: it is indeed [08:13] RuffianSoldier: If everyone had that turned on, on a channel of this size it would clutter the channel considerably. [08:13] njs12345: No. [08:13] sorry njs12345 ; didnt know you have a fresh install :) [08:13] does anyone use a virus scanner/remover if so what?and do you recommend it for ease of use [08:13] oh [08:13] well [08:13] I still cannot install this ati driver, I've read wiki page, installed linux-restricted modules, linux-amd64-generic was here already. But when i try sudo apt-get install fglrx-driver it keeps saying that it couldn't find fglrx-driver. I cannot find it thru synaptic too :/ [08:13] RuffianSoldier: it's annoying and pointless, and if all 300 people in here used it, there wouldn't be room for anything else [08:13] aaah [08:13] RuffianSoldier: people can still /whois you if they want to know if you're around or not [08:13] that was kind of the obvious answer I guess :) [08:13] How can I open RAW files (Canon) in The Gimp?

[08:16] but I don't even know if it has signatures for linux viruses [08:16] I thought clamav was for mail servers to filter out Windows viruses [08:16] it's a general virus thing, but that's a common use [08:17] bob2 got it and no it only has windows signitures which is okay if you are using it to check your mail. [08:17] nvidia-glx packets are there to install, but fglrx-driver doesn't really seem to be there. Could someone check it? please [08:17] davmor2: well, if you're reading your mail on linux, you don't even need to worry about that [08:17] There is no common system for linux that a virus writer can attack.

[08:20] bob2 ta :) [08:20] vinic_: I don't think it's an official gnome thing [08:20] bob2 : well... [08:20] davmor2: You'll probably have to purchase Cedega to play Windows games. [08:20] :) [08:20] Amaranth: in linux the problem is just fixed, no need for so-called av-software... in winduhs there is just too much code for m$ to rewrite, so the obvious hack is to install av software... [08:20] davmor2: It's cheap and easy. [08:20] vinic_: oh, does it link against gnome libs? [08:21] vinic_: I don't know, but it uses gtk at least [08:21] well, you can't get complacent, lots of software on linux is buggy in ways that can be exploited [08:21] bob2 : I dont know! :o) === jnk [~jnk@adsl-62-167-179-209.adslplus.ch] has joined #ubuntu === dargo [~dargo@245.Red-80-39-84.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:22] jcole: Most of the time a smart user can use Windows and never get a virus the same way that most Linux users don't.

[08:39] port scanning is not illegal, so far as i know. [08:39] but sometimes port scans are so violent [08:39] It is only illegal to try to gain access to something which you should not have access to.

[08:40] Surely running a web server on port 80 implies permission? [08:40] Amaranth, sure, but I don't design the law system [08:40] And port scanning CAN be just another way of finding web servers. Or other servers. [08:41] I dont want to scan ports, I just want to reply [08:41] in the US port scans arn't illegal... and I really don't know one where it is illegal [08:41] charley, it depends, if you just acces the server, it's ok, but if you use it to get to his pc, it's illegal.

[09:18] Well than I think that you have to install an version of the keyboard or something like that [09:18] PotajiTo, if you like [09:19] Sure you can install Hoary [09:19] wood1, try using linux on all your computers [09:19] :) [09:19] mdke: according to Synaptic, it's in Section: Utilities (universe). So it's not part of the Ubuntu desktop core, but is available in the universe extras. [09:19] can some1 help me with VMWare ? [09:19] but how?in my last install i chaged the repos to hoary and updated only xorg [09:19] Well then I have to teach all my collegues the basics of Linux [09:19] i want to update all now [09:19] the script doesnt see my C headers === JsPr [~jnee@212.116.82.201] has joined #ubuntu [09:20] OotjiTo, then just change the sources.list === JsPr [~jnee@212.116.82.201] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [09:20] wood, i have a norwegian keyboard, I need it to be norwegian layout... [09:20] brion_busy, they don't work on those packages, which come straight from debian, so some of em get out of date. the same happens with the realplayer installer. its probably best to get the software independently === IvyCQHome [~Sir@c9063275.virtua.com.br] has joined #ubuntu [09:20] mdke: thanks. looks like debian-testing currently has 0.80, so it's just out of date... === dargo_ [~dargo@245.Red-80-39-84.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu === georgia [~georgia@Georgia.base.supporter.pdpc] has joined #ubuntu [09:21] [it == universe] [09:21] PotajiTo, change each instance of warty to hoary in your apt sources.list [09:21] zAo^, which headers did you install? [09:21] i'v already done that........ [09:21] PotajiTo, ok fine then do a dist upgrade [09:21] but i want to upgrade all, not package by package [09:21] haha [09:21] how? [09:22] PotajiTo, either use synaptic to mark all upgrades and select smart upgrade, or do "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in a terminal [09:22] thanks [09:22] yw [09:22] zerokarmaleft installed kernel source from a kernel.org mirror and the standard headers [09:22] Well, did you change your /etc/apt/sources.list file === yz [~yz@216.238.203.22] has joined #ubuntu [09:23] zerokarmaleft, thnx anywayz :) have the right headers right now :-) Thanks for the help [09:23] By the way, regarding the virus thing, how do I : apt-get install anti-virus ??? [09:24] wood1: The day we have to worry about Linux viruses is the day I switch to FreeBSD. [09:24] wood1, you don't need a virus checker [09:24] And I don't see that happening any time soon. === Se7h [~MUAHAHAH@adsl-b4-89-27.telepac.pt] has joined #ubuntu [09:25] Amaranth, what is wrong with FreeBSD ? [09:25] Nothing. [09:25] I heard that it is God Father of Linux [09:25] nothing [09:25] wood1: the only reason to use an antivirus program on Linux/Unix is to scan files that your Linux/Unix server is going to send to Windows-based clients. [09:25] I was just trying to be funny while pointing out that you don't have to worry about viruses. [09:25] brion_busy, even that is weird [09:26] And it isn't "God Father of Linux" [09:26] brion_busy, just get a virus checker on the windows clients [09:26] Linux was written because Linus wanted something better then Minix and wanted to explore 386 assembly. [09:26] mdke: security isn't a magic bullet (unfortunately!) having a little filtering at several different levels offer more overall protection. [09:26] i guess if you have a big server and lots of clients it is worth it [09:26] Well what kind of files do you normally send to Window's Clients ? [09:26] Hm, funny, Ubuntu didn't ask me for root pass during the install [09:27] Synek, check the Faq for root password [09:27] Synek, it doesnt... there is no password.. use sudo [09:27] .exe , .pif , jsp ??? [09:27] So i can't ;) [09:27] Synek just type: sudo passwd root [09:27] wood1, don't tell people that [09:28] Synek, you don't need the root account [09:28] then type in your own password first [09:28] can i have hardware acelerated shadows with xorg using xcompmgr with an ati 8500. I have them with an gforce2mx [09:28] Well I do need the root Account [09:28] wood1, i doubt it [09:28] PotajiTo, I don't think so [09:28] ubuntu over qemu - this should prove interesting :D [09:29] My Gentoo collegue told me that it is a bad idea using: sudo ? [09:29] ... scotth because ati propieatrie drivers? [09:29] and xorg 6.8.1? [09:29] wood1, well the ubuntu developers have decided that it is a good idea [09:29] Well I like the sudo thing too myself [09:30] wood1, and they know what they're talking about :) [09:30] But I really don't want to type the password everytime I sudo [09:30] PotajiTo: No i don't believe you can, fglrx does not work with the new xorg yet and i dont believe dri works with anything above the 8250 [09:30] wood1, you don't have to [09:30] By the way, I looove see the root@hostname !!!!! [09:30] i've heard that is above 9000 [09:30] wood1, it saves your password for a limited time. and if you want a shell with root permissions, you can type sudo -s [09:30] PotajiTo, I think its something like that, I heard someone was working on making the driver sane, but work was going slow [09:30] that will give you the root@ thing too [09:30] PotajiTo: I know i can't, im using the 9800. FGLRX doesn't work with xorg, and dri doesn't support my card [09:31] i will try it, i can't loose anything [09:31] Something definately bugs in Ubuntu, on two different machines, when I start for example gtoaster, I can barely read any texts in it === Ohmer [~Homer@ip216-239-89-51.vif.net] has joined #ubuntu [09:31] they are sooo small [09:31] Well what happens if I forgot the 1st User Account's password and also did not create a root password ? [09:31] althought ati said that they will elase their new driver on december [09:31] I would need to use magnifying glass on the screen :I [09:31] wood1, then you are weird [09:31] wood1: Reinstall. === tritium [~tritium@ee213-dhcp-9.ecn.purdue.edu] has joined #ubuntu [09:31] wood1, same thing applies where you forget the root password [09:31] no help to us poor losers on the powerpc arch [09:31] someone told me to use gtk-theme-switch, but I cant do anything to help me with that === weswh- [~hugsly-@pcp09834956pcs.avalon01.nj.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [09:32] Then the root account becomes useful [09:32] until you forget that one too === netmonk [~netmonk@nat-30.c0msys.net] has joined #ubuntu [09:32] anyone know how nforce2 chipset support is? in terms of network and sound..?

[09:40] I am installing ubuntu w/ debian floppy images. It says that the kernerls on the cd are incompatible w/ the installer. What do I do? This is all that I have done : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7307 [09:40] perhaps a bit longer than 1/2hour, but meh :D [09:40] wood1: It's actually pointing to a directory. I'm hoping for it to act like a symbolic link [09:40] first impressions are: it rules [09:40] njs12345: yes, it does :) [09:41] calamari, why don't you just create a small little script to point to that directory ? [09:41] it even autodetected my sound card.. the only thing I had to setup manually was the graphics card (9800XT) and wireless card (crapped up network setup) [09:41] hmm.. wonder if I can create a symbolic link on a windows fs :) [09:42] I can't recall where I saw ubuntu grub splash images. Anybody know? === Badcel [~Badcel@p5086E32C.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu [09:42] You mean the sites hosting the Splash images ?

[09:43] I think I need to use diff floppy images, which will work with the ubuntu cd? [09:43] calamari: the only way to find out is to try [09:43] then again, they say curiosity killed the cat [09:43] your choice :P [09:43] curiosity killed the chat? never! [09:43] I thought there were images on the Warty Release page under images at one time. [09:43] argh. does anybody know how to change fontsize in GTK-applications? I cant read anything because of the font size is way too small [09:43] thenuke, there is a wiki on it [09:43] thenuke: it's something to do with .gtkrc files [09:44] hmm === Wiseguy [~Wiseguy@p3E9E4B61.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu [09:44] tritium, you can check out: http://www.customize.org/details/36284 [09:44] does anyone here have a dual monitor setup on a fairly recent (9500+) card without fglrx?

[09:50] maybe there is a guide on it [09:51] I downloaded floppy images to install, and it actually boots, but when the installation goes to read the cd it says that the kernels in the archive and the installer are incompatible, use a diff vers [09:51] Well Symbolix, sorry man no idea on it === vpalle [~vpalle@park222.koll.au.dk] has joined #ubuntu [09:51] But your option is very good [09:51] Yes, in the install guide on the cd it talks about booting from floppies [09:51] Symbolix, ah ok, and does it say which floppies to download? [09:52] I guess that you have tried all the support and documentation at Wiki ? [09:52] It gives a link (ill find it in a minute) to the debian ftp server, and it is the most recent version of the installer images [09:52] symbolix do you have a bootable dos or windows floppy [09:52] I have posted on the ubunut forums, and looked through the HOWTOs, etc. I think that the images I downloaded are too recent [09:53] Windows floppy [09:53] Symbolix, you are following these instructions? http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/InstallWithFloppiesHowto [09:54] mdke: 1 sec [09:54] Symbolix, if you follow that guide exactly you should get there ok [09:55] method 2 seems quite cool as well [09:56] One thing worries me alot about Ubuntu Linux ?

[11:46] Nick_Jacked: I know this and accept this...however that has nothing to do with asking what command line utilties are available to use to check my sound card setup... === Nivlem sigh I will figure it out on my own... [11:47] Nivlem, That I am not too sure of on Ubuntu. I'd research it but I don't have an Ubuntu system to play with here at work. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. === hays [hays@pool-70-17-72-242.res.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:48] Nick_Jacked, he's gone :P [11:48] Hikaru79, try uname -a and if it says you have a 686 processor, you can get the one you were talking about [11:48] fine then.... [11:48] So is this a good transition distro? [11:49] hay from what to what [11:49] hays, from what to what? [11:49] fargon, thanks :) Turns out I *do* have an 'i686' [11:49] Thanks ^ ^ [11:49] Nick_Jacked, windows to linux [11:50] yw, Hikaru79 [11:50] haha === Mirno [~mirspcm@81.56.180.71] has joined #ubuntu [11:50] hays, it's a good distro for both beginners and old timers. [11:50] A friendly face on a Debian base!!!! [11:51] hmm [11:51] i tried getting a friend to transition to ubuntu and he was put off immediately b/c of gnome's default panel setup [11:51] zerokarmaleft, so that is when you ask what he wants and show him how easy it is to change. [11:51] try that with windows [11:52] Nick_Jacked, ya i did [11:52] zerokarmaleft, no luck, eh? [11:52] Nick_Jacked, he's just a lazyass hippy so i don't hold it against him [11:52] I also may try this distro to replace a slack computer [11:52] It looks kinda nice === HrdwrBoB [~matt@bob.is.teh.admin.at.vicnet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu [11:53] zerokarmaleft, If he truely is a hippy, he should be all over Linux, or maybe he is just too lazy (420?) to care. [11:54] Nick_Jacked, true...i guess he's not a Stallman-hippy [11:54] just tell him that Gates is the Man [11:54] whatever that means [11:54] The Man, man? Man... === zerokarmaleft clocks out [11:56] My work here is done. [11:56] ubuntu has replaced 3 mandrake installs here [11:56] heh [11:57] anyone know if there is an smp kernel available?
