| rjek | RhythmBox takes 2 minutes to load its whopping XML database of my MP3 collection, and doesn't actually have any queueing functionality at all that I can find. | 12:00 |

| osiris_22 | how do i install a source file | 12:00 |
| sval | osiris_22 what do you mean by install a source file ? | 12:00 |
| rjek | Right, I've got XMMS working, ta. | 12:00 |
| HrdwrBoB | rjek: esd allows multiple apps to play | 12:00 |
| === rjek didn't expect esd insanity. | ||
| geppy | osiris_22: tar -xvzf, then cd to the directory, and './compile && make && sudo make install' works for most things. | 12:00 |
| HrdwrBoB | at the same time | 12:00 |
| === rjek nods HrdwrBoB. | ||
| rjek | I know what esd does. | 12:00 |
| HrdwrBoB | yeah | 12:00 |
| HrdwrBoB | of course it's a problem | 12:00 |
| HrdwrBoB | but the basic goal of ubuntu is for the the 'supported' apps to Just Work | 12:01 |
| gen | just hrdwrbob eh | 12:01 |
| HrdwrBoB | and esd allows that to happen | 12:01 |
| rjek | Totem hardly works at all! | 12:01 |
| HrdwrBoB | true :( | 12:01 |
| wfx | is there any special in ubuntu to use a printer via a cups server (printer works fine from other clients) | 12:01 |
| rjek | It can't even redraw its window properly when playing music, and the playlisting simply does not work. | 12:01 |
| rjek | You add a file to the playlist, except it doesn't actually get added. | 12:01 |

| bob2 | totem is a video player | 12:02 |
| geppy | wfx: cups is an option in the printer dialog, no? | 12:02 |
| bob2 | use a music player like rhythmbox or cplay | 12:02 |
| geppy | or xmms | 12:02 |
| geppy | or beep-media-player, or muine | 12:02 |
| sval | wfx, just configure the printers via the official web interface ;) | 12:02 |
| geppy | I would strongly advise you against both Totem and Rhythmbox | 12:02 |
| HrdwrBoB | I use rhythmbox | 12:02 |
| HrdwrBoB | it's good | 12:02 |
| gen | muine is a pain to install, but i like it | 12:02 |
| rjek | bob2: Well, it certainly claims to play sound, and even offers visualisation features for when you're playing just sound. (Which of course, doesn't work.) | 12:02 |
| HrdwrBoB | but as you said, I want queuing functionality | 12:02 |
| rjek | RhythmBox is unforgivably awful. | 12:02 |

| geppy | bob2: and please provide constructive criticism instead subjective of blanket statements | 12:04 |
| geppy | I'm asking who that is to refer to. | 12:04 |
| rjek | bob2: OK. It's hideously slow at starting up. Its user interface makes it nigh-on impossible to find stuff in large collections, no matter how tidily organised. It has no queuing functionality. Resorting the main listing takes seemingly forever. It uses more memory than the earth simulator. There doesn't appear to be a way of setting a rating to zero stars from the list view. There's no (at least obvious) way of rating multiple tracks at the sam | 12:05 |
| bob2 | geppy: the person I spoke to immediately prior, rjek | 12:05 |
| geppy | bob2: Alright. | 12:05 |
| bob2 | rjek: one of those is a lie, some are subjective, and some are real bugs | 12:05 |
| rjek | Which is the lie? | 12:05 |
| geppy | bob2: I see no lies; they're all problems that I agree with. | 12:06 |
| bob2 | I'm pretty sure the earth simulator doesn't run on my laptop | 12:06 |
| rjek | Ok, that was hyperbole, but not a lie. :) | 12:06 |
| bob2 | define it how you like | 12:06 |
| bob2 | but please file bugs on the rest if someone hasn't already | 12:06 |

| jon1012 | james > lol... sometimes (like what happenned to me 2 hours ago :p) having an unstable core and a stable gnome can be really better :p | 01:40 |

| jon1012 | because two hours ago my gnome was completely fucked up :p | 01:40 |
| Ribs | hrm | 01:41 |
| jon1012 | and now to fix those problems I have a broken apt base, so I can't use apt-get :p | 01:41 |

| Ribs | Why not optimise for i586/i686? | 01:41 |
| jon1012 | for old computers maybe ? :) | 01:41 |
| tahorg | Ribs: because it's just buzz ? | 01:41 |
| james | jon1012: Debian apt could always get me out of trouble, I'm sure its the same for Ubuntu. | 01:41 |
| jon1012 | james: well... :( | 01:42 |
| jon1012 | james: the thing is that the gnome-panel package which is actually there is broken | 01:42 |
| jon1012 | so I can use it but it's ugly | 01:42 |
| === wasabi_ [~wasabi@c-24-1-67-127.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| Ribs | tahorg: I dunno, taking advantage of better CPUs does bring advantages | 01:42 |
| james | jon1012: ya, I guess gnome 2.9 could really be a mess sometime. | 01:43 |
| jon1012 | so my deb database is ugly now :p | 01:43 |

| jon1012 | ok :) | 01:43 |

| tahorg | Ribs: I've lost the url, but it has already been shown that the differences are not spectacular | 01:44 |
| socomm | Why does hoary still have vim 62 X^( | 01:45 |
| tahorg | Ribs: (not as much as a gentoo fanatic would believe) | 01:45 |
| james | Are Warty and Hoary binary compatible at this point (same gcc version)? | 01:45 |
| jon1012 | who thinks that emacs is great? and this person could help me to find it great too ? | 01:45 |
| Ribs | tahorg: The Gentoo setup I had really showed up my Fedora Core install | 01:45 |
| Ribs | Then again, Fedora core is a bloated piece of shit ;) | 01:45 |
| jon1012 | because I didn't find now how can someone wrk with it :| | 01:45 |
| Ribs | and no, I'm not a Gentoo fanatic | 01:46 |
| farruinn | jon1012, I could never remember all the keybindings | 01:46 |
| Ribs | I've actually migrated away from the distro | 01:46 |
| jon1012 | farruin> that's why i can't use it :/ | 01:46 |
| tahorg | Ribs: of course it's different when talking about soft writen to take advantages of special instruction set | 01:46 |
| jon1012 | farruin> i use vim instead :/ | 01:46 |
| tahorg | like 3dnow, mmx, sse for mplayer and al | 01:47 |
| farruinn | jon1012, same here, I love vim, you don't so much? | 01:47 |
| jon1012 | farruin> i like it, but's it's a little bit messy compared to gedit I think :/ | 01:47 |
| jon1012 | no ? | 01:47 |
| jon1012 | or maybe I didn't configure it well :/ | 01:47 |
| farruinn | oh, I'd much rather work with vim, but that's me | 01:48 |
| jon1012 | farruin, you configured it in a special way ? | 01:49 |
| olorin | bye all | 01:49 |
| farruinn | jon1012, not sure what you mean. I just find the hjkl movement easy and I don't have to wait for my editor to load, etc. | 01:51 |
| james | Has anyone tried upgrading to Xorg from Warty? Could it work or would it a dep nightmare? | 01:52 |
| jon1012 | hjkl works, but the cursor keys works also, no ? | 01:52 |
| jon1012 | it works, but if you have a laptop forget about it :) | 01:53 |

| Ribs | or will it be able to upgrade itself? | 01:58 |
| Ribs | oh good | 01:58 |

| kirt | crimsun: Were they planning on putting the menus back the way they were? I liked them better that way.. | 01:59 |
| crimsun | kirt: I have no idea what the plans are; ask them :) | 01:59 |
| crimsun | jon1012: it's not a problem per se; note the latest gnome-menus changelog entry as I stated earlier | 01:59 |
| crimsun | thenuke: dist-upgrade allows the addition/removal of packages. It's generally used to ensure smooth upgrades between major revisions, like Debian Woody->Sarge->Sid or Ubuntu Warty->Hoary | 02:00 |

| HrdwrBoB | if not | 03:02 |
| GotD0t | its not | 03:02 |
| HrdwrBoB | you can mount it with pmount /dev/sda1 | 03:03 |

| hui | GotD0t: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/ | 03:03 |
| GotD0t | bah... doesn't exist | 03:03 |
| fabian | hui, and you in fact have a /boot directory?. Maybe create a /boot/grub/ directory and there a file named device.map whit something like "(hd0) /dev/hda" inside and rerun grub-install | 03:04 |
| HrdwrBoB | hui: you have to be root | 03:04 |

| hui | HrdwrBoB: i`m at livecd, just root account in it | 03:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | yes, however the whole point of the design is that you don't need to use root | 03:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | in ubuntu | 03:05 |
| hui | fabian: i have a /boot directory, with kernel on it. grub-install crerates the /boot/grub dir, creates just device.map and stops | 03:06 |
| HrdwrBoB | which, last time I checked, was the channel I'm in | 03:06 |
| Gwildor | how bad is it for me to install the xfce4.2 rc , from a .deb, or something, not from repo | 03:06 |
| HrdwrBoB | Gwildor: it's effectively the same thing | 03:06 |
| HrdwrBoB | just easier to install from a repository | 03:06 |

| zenwhen | the newer one is installed | 03:10 |
| zenwhen | yes | 03:10 |
| HrdwrBoB | you can use dpkg to remove the package | 03:11 |
| HrdwrBoB | and then apt-get the new one | 03:11 |
| HrdwrBoB | pr you can apt-get remove it | 03:11 |

| scoon | well, you don't need sudo to install it. | 03:12 |
| hui | fabian: the defaults files from grub isnt created with apt-get ? | 03:12 |

| GotD0t | zenpod: no... from what i understand it doesn't use a kernel module because its technically not a file system, its a database so its a userspace lib, which i have installed | 03:59 |
| zenpod | GotD0t, hm, okay, but how the heck would it get mounted as a device? It must not be, since you'd have to have an FS to use mount. | 04:00 |

| Tsjoklat | jdub.. I had a friend removing gnome for kde but now she has issues with synaptic.. it's complaining about libglade and such | 05:16 |
| billytwowilly | solarce, I didn't catch it, then it half completed, leaving me with a borken gnome-menu package, so I had to use dpkg to kill all the kde stuff | 05:16 |

| Hikaru79 | =/ Hm | 06:07 |
| Hikaru79 | Well, try and help me here anyway :P | 06:07 |
| pixelmonkey | Hikaru79, not sure how useful I | 06:08 |
| pixelmonkey | I'll be if it's SWING specific... | 06:08 |
| Hikaru79 | According to the Java API, tutorial, and online example, the following three lines should be fine: | 06:08 |
| Hikaru79 | JRadioButton importFiles = new JRadioButton ("Import from File"); | 06:08 |
| Hikaru79 | ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup (); | 06:08 |
| Hikaru79 | group.add (importFiles); | 06:08 |
| Hikaru79 | But group.add (importFiles); is giving me a wierd error | 06:08 |
| Hikaru79 | During compile | 06:08 |
| pixelmonkey | what erro? | 06:08 |
| pixelmonkey | god my typing's a disaster today | 06:08 |
| Hikaru79 | Syntax error on token "importFiles", VariableDeclaratorId expected after this token | 06:08 |
| Hikaru79 | AND | 06:08 |
| Hikaru79 | Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s) | 06:08 |
| Hikaru79 | Yet, if we check the Java API for ButtonGroup | 06:09 |
| Hikaru79 | We see... void add(AbstractButton b) | 06:09 |
| Hikaru79 | Is JRadioButton not a subclass of an AbstractButton? | 06:09 |
| Hikaru79 | The tutorial says it is >_> | 06:09 |
| pixelmonkey | So the argument passed to JRadioButton's constructor is what, a string for the label of the radio button? | 06:10 |
| Hikaru79 | Exactly | 06:10 |

| huwr | Hi. | 06:10 |
| TomT64 | maybe you need to subclass ButtonGroup (can you do that)? | 06:10 |
| TomT64 | probably not, btu just a thought | 06:10 |
| Hikaru79 | Like, have the class extend ButtonGroup? | 06:11 |
| pixelmonkey | So ButtonGroup is like for a group of three radio buttons where the selected one can only be one of the three? | 06:11 |
| huwr | My little brother was wondering what the Ubuntu developers were planning on doing once they ran out of hogs to name their releases after. | 06:11 |
| Hikaru79 | Exactly; all buttongroup does is make sure all it's members are mutually exclusive | 06:11 |
| Hikaru79 | huwr, LMAO :P | 06:11 |
| huwr | Has there been any discussion into that or is it just too far away? | 06:11 |
| crimsun | which javac version are you using, out of curiosity? | 06:11 |
| pixelmonkey | huwr: toy story characters? :-P | 06:11 |
| huwr | Hikaru79, :p | 06:11 |
| Hikaru79 | 1.5.0 | 06:11 |
| pixelmonkey | huwr, oh wait, that's taken | 06:12 |
| huwr | What about naming them after big cats? | 06:12 |
| Hikaru79 | huwr, they've already got about 3 or 4 more names lined up | 06:12 |
| Hikaru79 | It's on the wiki somewhere | 06:12 |
| jdub | huwr: we're just using interesting animals, not necessarily hogs :) | 06:12 |

| Hikaru79 | JRadioButton is in the same boat as all the rest of them, I don't see why some parts of the library would be found and this one not =/ | 06:24 |

| pixelmonkey | Hikaru79, yea, it's weird... | 06:24 |
| Hikaru79 | :( | 06:24 |
| Hikaru79 | I think it might have to do with me using 1.5.0 | 06:24 |

| scizzo | colleenj: all the info you need is on the website actually | 10:10 |
| colleenj | its another distro like debian | 10:10 |

| thoreauputic | hwm: I also use Irssi and xchat, but for integration with Firefox, the chatzilla extension works nicely | 10:12 |

| lamont_r | colleenj: 2.6.8.1 is the default kernel in warty | 10:17 |
| lamont_r | Agrajag: actually, warty is up to 5.5 months old software - upstream version freeze was end of June, changes beyond that were for release critical bugs. | 10:17 |
| lamont_r | upstream version freeze will hit hoary sometime soon (haven't looked), and then that will get hammered on until April. | 10:17 |
| lamont_r | and then repeat | 10:17 |
| Agrajag | well, in any case it's newer than debian stable | 10:18 |

| hwm | back again, can someone please remind me syntax of getting gcc? | 10:24 |
| Agrajag | sudo apt-get install build-essential | 10:24 |
| Kamion | calc: same way it worked in Warty when GNOME 2.8 wasn't out until just before thre elase | 10:25 |
| Kamion | er, "the release". learn to type Col | 10:25 |
| calc | ok :) | 10:26 |
| calc | i didn't know previously that warty was frozen in june | 10:26 |
| Kamion | yep | 10:26 |
| lamont_r | calc: that's the reason that sarge/sid->warty was a crossgrade. | 10:26 |
| calc | oh btw is gnome 2.9 not supposed to display anything on the desktop? | 10:27 |
| Kamion | you can see the vestiges of that better in universe; we touched a lot of main after June, since we didn't actually get started with Warty development until nearly the upstream version freeze really | 10:27 |
| calc | 2.8 in warty displayed things like home (iirc) | 10:27 |
| seb128 | calc, it's supposed to display the drives | 10:27 |
| enntee | Does Warty get regular software updates? | 10:27 |
| enntee | seems like there are some older packages in it | 10:27 |
| Agrajag | enntee: only securitu/bugfixes | 10:27 |
| calc | hmm on mine its completely blank | 10:27 |
| Agrajag | security | 10:27 |
| enntee | damn. | 10:28 |
| calc | seb128: btw the applications.menu is going to be a fun thing to work out ;) | 10:28 |
| lamont_r | enntee: for security and critical data loss only | 10:28 |
| lamont_r | (modulo ubuntu-calendar) | 10:28 |
| lamont_r | but the warty archive won't change. | 10:28 |
| seb128 | calc, no, warty doesn't display home | 10:28 |
| lamont_r | enntee: the next regular update of warty will be in april. it's called hoary. | 10:28 |
| seb128 | calc, and plug an usb key by example, it should pop on the desktop | 10:28 |
| calc | seb128: hmm ok, i'll have to boot up a warty box and see what it displays again | 10:28 |
| enntee | so it's sort of hard to stay current with warty, eh? | 10:29 |
| Kamion | enntee: we think that "every six months" is a pretty good compromise | 10:29 |
| lamont_r | warty is all about stability | 10:29 |
| hwm | anyone know of a good ftp client for ubuntu? When I tried gftp it failed because it looked for gtk-config 1.2.3 or higher and couldn't | 10:29 |
| calc | i know it at least showed extra mounts that were mounted at boot time | 10:29 |
| calc | which hoary doesn't | 10:29 |
| Ng | hoary doesn't *today*, that doesn't mean it won't tomorrow, it might catch on fire tomorrow too ;) | 10:29 |
| seb128 | calc, there is no difference on the desktop between warty and hoary for the moment | 10:29 |
| enntee | Kamion: don't get me wrong, i'm not criticizing. | 10:30 |
| lamont_r | enntee: there is a compromise that must be struck between bleeding-edge-new and stability | 10:30 |
| lamont_r | the releases target stability, with the next one being 6 months later. | 10:30 |
| seb128 | calc, you've probably changed some user setting for your user on warty | 10:30 |
| calc | seb128: is there some configuration option i might need to set to get it to show the mounts on the desktop in 2.9? | 10:30 |
| calc | i didn't change anything on warty afaik | 10:30 |
| calc | i installed 3 warty boxes and they all showed the mounts on the desktop | 10:30 |
| seb128 | like hoary does | 10:31 |
| calc | hoary doesn't show my mounts here | 10:31 |
| lamont_r | so you can choose to run 0-6 month old sw, 6-12, or 12-18. | 10:31 |
| === lulu [~lu@213.151.107.243] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| calc | at least not at boot time mounts, i'll test inserting a key and see what happens | 10:31 |
| lamont_r | seb128: I don't see my usb key on my desktop | 10:31 |
| lamont_r | resonably current hoary | 10:31 |
| seb128 | calc, the options are in /apps/nautilus/desktop | 10:31 |
| enntee | and it's generally a bad idea to install debian packages on warty, correct? | 10:32 |
| seb128 | lamont, I've just tried 5s ago here and it works | 10:32 |
| enntee | or hoary packages on warty? | 10:32 |
| lamont_r | enntee: certainly outside of the support model | 10:32 |
| seb128 | weird | 10:32 |
| calc | ok key works, but it doesn't show any of the other mounts | 10:32 |
| lamont_r | seb128: hrm.. quite likely that I hacked over my config some way or another. | 10:32 |
| colleenj | well here goes.... so far the installer looks very sweet | 10:32 |
| enntee | lamont_r: yeah... but is it pretty do-able for someone familiar with debian? | 10:32 |
| seb128 | lamont, probably ... do you have a ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus/desktop dir ? | 10:32 |
| Kamion | enntee: may work, may not, depends on the exact packages involved. for simple packages with few dependency interactions it can certainly be tried relatively straightforwardly | 10:33 |
| lamont_r | enntee: the preferred method (if you must grab newer versions), is to grab the source (apt-get source foo - after adding a deb-src line pointing to debian), and then dpkg-buildpackage | 10:33 |
| calc | seb128: i don't have that .gconf dir here | 10:33 |
| jdub | silbs, lulu: i have fought the wiki and won. | 10:33 |
| Kamion | enntee: the thing to avoid is listing both Debian and Ubuntu archives in sources.list; that confuses apt quite a bit | 10:33 |
| seb128 | calc, and your usb pop on the desktop, that works as expecte | 10:33 |
| seb128 | expected | 10:33 |
| Kamion | enntee: so if you're grabbing Debian packages, you have to do it by hand | 10:33 |
| lamont_r | enntee: the concern relates to library versions and such, mixed with the fact that apt/dpkg/whatever believe that all copies of foo_1.1_i386.deb are identical in the world. | 10:34 |
| lulu | jdub: sounds like a breakthrough! | 10:34 |
| calc | volumes is set to visible, so something changed between 2.8/2.9 (or in hoary) so that boot time volumes aren't shown anymore | 10:34 |
| enntee | Kamion, lamont_r: thanks | 10:34 |
| jdub | lulu: nah, just managed to get my bof changes in | 10:35 |
| seb128 | calc, I don't think so | 10:35 |
| enntee | the dpkg-buildpackage method sounds good to me | 10:35 |
| lamont_r | enntee: yeah | 10:35 |
| seb128 | pitti, here ? | 10:35 |

| lamont_r | seb128: or turn around | 10:35 |
| calc | but it was showing boot time volumes for certain | 10:35 |
| seb128 | pitti, is there a difference on the volume displayed on the desktop between warty and hoary ? | 10:35 |
| lulu | jdub:great :o) | 10:35 |
| calc | and hoary doesn't but it does show volumes that come up while logged in (eg usb key) | 10:35 |

| Blaamann | I installed Ubuntu for the first yesterday, and I wonder what are your feelings about using the sudo command all the time ? | 12:14 |
| scoon | Blaamann, i don't. I set up a root account. | 12:15 |
| Tomcat_ | I usually use a root bash. | 12:15 |
| Blaamann | Have all you guys a root account ? | 12:15 |

| Blaamann | I have been using different linux/unix systems for 6 years now, but are a little bit confused regarding wether this is a good solution. | 12:17 |
| scoon | Blaamann, I too have been using linux for that long and I feel that I am careful enough | 12:18 |
| Kinnison | sudo -s -H | 12:18 |
| crimsun | I agree w/ using sudo by default for Ubuntu. | 12:18 |
| scoon | Blaamann, I think it is a great idea to keep newer users out of trouble. | 12:18 |
| crimsun | If one is annoyed by it, configuring a root account is simple enough. | 12:18 |
| crimsun | I've always liked its audit trail (provided one sticks to it and not `sudo /bin/sh'). | 12:19 |

| xare | something else I found some mistakes in the basque language translation | 12:29 |
| Lathiat | xare: For which application? | 12:30 |
| xare | How can I contribute to get them fixed? | 12:30 |
| xare | in gnome | 12:30 |
| xare | in the installation | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | which part of gnome? | 12:30 |
| xare | Is there a group working on that? | 12:30 |
| xare | I do not remember exactly where I met these mistakes | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | there are different groups for different things, if you can tell me where specifically i can help point you in the right direction | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | but the whole gnome desktop has a translation team | 12:30 |
| Lathiat | but it doesn't include all the applications (but it includes some of them) | 12:31 |
| Lathiat | look on gnome.org, should have information | 12:31 |

| wood1 | Is there an Expert in MySQL somewhere in this room ? | 02:04 |
| wood1 | Amaranth, how are you ? | 02:05 |
| wood1 | bob2 ? | 02:05 |
| === Amaranth is horrible with MySQL | ||
| Amaranth | wood1: try #mysql | 02:05 |
| wood1 | How do I start Mysql in Ubuntu ? | 02:05 |
| bob2 | it starts as soon as you install it | 02:05 |
| wood1 | Well how do I know if it's up or installed in the 1st place ? | 02:06 |
| bob2 | did you install it? | 02:06 |
| rory__ | heh | 02:06 |

| mjg59 | Kinnison: Still no /sys/power/disk ? | 02:08 |
| Kinnison | cenerentola: give mjg59 things like dmesg and lspci output | 02:08 |
| bob2 | wood1: the short story is you don't need to manually start it | 02:09 |
| bob2 | wood1: the name of the package is mysql-server | 02:09 |
| wood1 | Thanks bob2 | 02:09 |
| wood1 | It's now installing | 02:10 |
| mjg59 | Kinnison: There should be no situation in which /sys/power/disk doesn't exist, except for the wrong kernel being used | 02:10 |
| wood1 | Where will Ubuntu be without you guys out in this chatroom ? | 02:10 |
| wood1 | Thumbs Up to all | 02:10 |
| Kinnison | mjg59: I'm only saying what I see | 02:10 |

| mjg59 | Kinnison: What's /proc/version ? | 02:11 |
| Kinnison | mjg59: He has rebooted into 2.6.8.1 so he can have nvidia so he can read his screen | 02:11 |
| mjg59 | Kinnison: Uh. There's a linux-restricted-modules deb alongside my kernel one | 02:11 |
| Kinnison | mjg59: and it gives "invalid format" or something | 02:12 |
| mjg59 | How weird | 02:12 |
| Kinnison | mjg59: when you modprobe nvidia | 02:12 |
| mjg59 | Ok. In any case, there's no expectation of working suspend/resume using the nvidia drivers | 02:12 |
| Kinnison | Mmm | 02:12 |
| Kinnison | Oddly, his lid button doesn't work in X either | 02:12 |

| joshua__ | it doesn't detect certain devices | 02:25 |
| fabbione | that's not a BUG | 02:25 |
| fabbione | it's a limitation | 02:25 |

| === fabbione scratches his head | ||
| joshua__ | yea, puzzling aint it? | 02:26 |
| fabbione | the kernel 2.6.8 is the same in warty as in hoary | 02:26 |

| Ng | you literally cannot ask the question you just asked and expect a sane answer :) | 03:23 |
| wood1 | Letter's compare 1 David Beckam Vs 12 ordinary football players | 03:24 |
| Amaranth | it depends on the applications you're running on it | 03:24 |
| Amaranth | some things are better with SMP and some are better with clusters | 03:24 |
| ermo | wood1, it's not a 'single-dimensional' question, really. | 03:24 |

| Amaranth | the ones better with clusters are either designed for them or someone got really lucky :P | 03:24 |
| wood1 | Let's say that I just want to run a Apache Web Server | 03:24 |
| bob2 | then mosix is a bad solution | 03:25 |
| Amaranth | eww | 03:25 |
| bob2 | and the dells will spank you thoroughly | 03:25 |

| Treenaks | wood1: done! | 03:25 |
| Amaranth | Treenaks: apt-get install apache2 ;) | 03:26 |

| Scognito | Amaranth, try to reinstall xorg | 05:05 |
| BockBilbo | Amaranth, and does it work similar to debian? | 05:05 |
| Quazion | other distro's made me config lots or had to many options | 05:05 |

| BockBilbo | :D | 05:07 |
| Quazion | no idea sorry, but i guess so | 05:07 |
| Amaranth | of course | 05:07 |

| flip | is jigit like "testing"? | 05:08 |
| Amaranth | it doesn't have silly patches in it like redhat ones do that break things if you compile your own kernel | 05:08 |

| Amaranth | BockBilbo: Basically they take the good things from Debian, add the latest GNOME and a little polish and release it. | 05:08 |
| Amaranth | its pretty much the same as the sarge installer | 05:09 |

| caleb_ | zerokarmaleft, im not against doing that. but i kind of defeats the idea that im running a pretty bleeding edge desktop using synaptic. | 06:26 |
| zerokarmaleft | caleb_, but you're running warty... | 06:26 |
| === the_gummibear [~pj@212.76.250.7] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| caleb_ | zerokarmaleft, right. which i guess means I need to switch to hoary. I'm running warty because it was the recommended path when I found ubuntu a few months ago :) | 06:27 |
| zerokarmaleft | caleb_, i upgraded to the hoary branch and it's no fun | 06:28 |

| zenwhen | nuOpus, the 6800 series doesn't have IQ issues. | 07:48 |

| eruin | what you see on these so-called review sites with jagged edges etc depends on the exact frame that's being rendered | 07:50 |

| the_gummibear | let's give it a try | 07:53 |

| the_gummibear | Illegal package name MPlayer. Must be lowercase letters and digits | 07:54 |
| the_gummibear | damnit :p | 07:54 |
| nuOpus | but ... have you EVER read the changelog? | 07:54 |
| nuOpus | oh .. and meta package info just to install BASE distro ... has dependencies such as apt | 07:55 |
| nuOpus | ubuntu-base is meta to intall base software without the gui stuff basically. ubuntu-desktop is meta to install X, GNOME and all of the other apps that come with the desktp | 07:55 |

| darren | I've just used the packae manager to install xmms, where can I find it to? | 08:14 |
| Gwildor|Work | and in the box that says universe....make it say..........universe multiverse | 08:15 |
| Gwildor|Work | darren, im pretty sure xmms makes it to the gnome menue | 08:15 |
| the_gummibear | only seperated by a 'space' ? | 08:15 |
| Gwildor|Work | the_gummibear, yes | 08:15 |
| the_gummibear | you need to log in again before xmms is in the menu | 08:15 |
| darren | Gwildor|Work, It's not under the Multimedia menu... | 08:15 |
| Gwildor|Work | the_gummibear, be sure to "refresh" in synaptic......or apt-get update | 08:15 |
| the_gummibear | (at least it was like that here) | 08:16 |
| bur[n] er | beep-media-player is cooler ; | 08:16 |
| bur[n] er | gtk2 as opposed to xmms' gtk1 | 08:16 |
| Gwildor|Work | darren, hmmm, yeah, log out...and back into gnome | 08:16 |
| the_gummibear | refresh = reloading package list? | 08:16 |
| darren | ok, I just use run application for the moment, thanks for the help! | 08:16 |

| the_gummibear | yeah, normally i use mplayer aswel.. but it's if there are other peepz on my pc (who're normally using windows) | 09:00 |
| mjr | though of course there may be some client-side exploits too, free browsers aren't immune | 09:00 |
| blackout | seems less secure in practical application, than alling, say, su, with no root logins | 09:00 |
| Asako | does anybody know if I can download a boot floppy for the ubuntu install? | 09:00 |
| Asako | my system won't boot the cd | 09:00 |
| olorin | wood1 , if your distro is up to date ... there is no serious problem | 09:00 |
| blackout | any thoughts, comments? | 09:00 |
| wood1 | I went to a grc.com site and tested the most common ports which revealed Port 113 was open | 09:00 |
| blackout | seems like having a second password to do important things would be another layer of security added... | 09:00 |
| tahorg | blackout: why, because stealing the root pass is harder than stealing your user pass ? | 09:01 |
| blackout | tahorg, it is if you seldom type it in. Say, use sudo for a lot of things, like apt-get, but don't let any user do everything but root | 09:01 |
| === oly [~oly@host81-129-48-120.range81-129.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| tahorg | If someone is able to steal you user pass, it might be the same for your root pass | 09:01 |

| blackout | wood1, i'm trying to figure it out | 09:03 |
| oly | eeek, i just set up ubuntu to use dual displays with different seperate screens ut how do i access the second screen ? :p | 09:03 |
| blackout | wood1, but i can't see how it could be as secure | 09:03 |
| oly | i can see a desktop but i can not move my mouse onto it :p | 09:03 |
| blackout | wood1, more convenient, yes | 09:03 |
| mjr | oly, perhaps you have the monitors set up the wrong way, try to move your mouse over the other edge of the screen? | 09:03 |
| tahorg | blackout: well, running all in root, a browser for example is really bad | 09:03 |
| blackout | wood1, esp. if you go NOPASSWD | 09:03 |
| the_gummibear | damnit, other mplayer problem.. if i go fullscreen mode then the movie ain't fullscreen, it just adds 'black' around the movie | 09:03 |
| blackout | tahorg, of course | 09:03 |
| tahorg | blackout: the use of sudo helps the user to install/update with the same pass | 09:04 |
| wood1 | oly, maybe you are using a serial mouse | 09:04 |
| blackout | tahorg, but isn't sensible root usage > no root, just sudo, with all access for one user? | 09:04 |
| eruin | the_gummibear: why don't you just use totem-xine ? | 09:04 |
| blackout | tahorg, but why not just allow them acess to apt-get, apt-file, etc.? | 09:04 |
| the_gummibear | dunno, never did :p | 09:04 |
| oly | nope nneither side works | 09:04 |
| the_gummibear | i can give it atry | 09:04 |

| eruin | I've never had a problem with totemxine | 09:04 |
| tahorg | blackout: I don't know :) | 09:04 |
| blackout | tahorg, that's how i run my sudo... anything i acutally need to do as root often, i put in sudoers | 09:04 |

| oly | but that was never the case in windows | 09:05 |
| mjr | oly, well, then something very weird is going on. You are running just one dual-head-configured X server and not two on separate heads, aren't you? | 09:05 |
| tahorg | blackout: btw if you give access to apt-get, user can do about everything | 09:05 |
| the_gummibear | hmm, it needs to remove ubuntu-desktop to install that.. | 09:05 |
| wood1 | hey gummibear, you want to configure the GUI version of mplayer ? | 09:05 |
| the_gummibear | is that bad? or can i just remove that? | 09:05 |
| the_gummibear | idd wood1 | 09:05 |
| blackout | tahorg, how's that? He can't read files, etc... | 09:05 |
| oly | its a dual head card but seperate displays rather than one big desktop | 09:05 |
| the_gummibear | but it's says it's compiled without GUI support | 09:05 |

| tahorg | blackout: he can install his own package | 09:06 |
| mjr | oly, yes, but are you running a separate X server for the other screen or not? | 09:06 |
| mjr | 'cause you don't want to do that | 09:06 |
| oly | yeah | 09:06 |
| mjr | well, there's your problem then | 09:06 |
| blackout | tahorg, true... but not really. HE can't modify /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:06 |
| oly | its the onlyt way to set it up how i want that i know of | 09:06 |
| Dabian | I want to map my meta key, so my system doesn't confuse meta and alt - which line do I put in XF86Config-4 ? | 09:06 |
| tahorg | which can, for example, add his user in /etc/sudoers | 09:06 |
| Asako | are there any boot floppies for the installer? | 09:06 |
| zerokarmaleft_ | Kirsch, i use VMware | 09:07 |

| wood1 | Dabian, tell me something about clam av | 09:08 |

| oly | like a link ? | 09:08 |
| mjr | oly, http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Xinerama-HOWTO/ might be useful | 09:08 |
| === hyrcan [~hyrcan@69.17.104.188] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| blackout | and i'm assuming Ubuntu does security updates to everything, as necessary? | 09:09 |
| Dabian | blackout: I think there is even a howto on it .. isn't there something about it in /usr/share/doc/sudo ? Actually I think the most usefull thing, is that it remembers the root password, unless you're multiple users. | 09:09 |
| oly | okay thanks mjr, youve been very helpful :P | 09:09 |
| tahorg | blackout: sudo against su for one command are almost the same | 09:09 |
| oly | i will see what i can do | 09:09 |
| mjr | oly, and if you don't like the Xinerama mode (since it provides one virtual desktop over the two screens), you can just comment out the Xinerama option line and the rest will work with the displays being separate | 09:09 |
| Dabian | blackout: There is also the issue with X programs .. but I am not clever. | 09:09 |
| tahorg | blackout: but I really prefere no shell as root | 09:09 |
| oly | ah excellent thats what i want :) | 09:10 |
| mjr | right; but otherwise follow the instructions there :) | 09:10 |
| blackout | tahorg, yes, but sudo with NO ROOT USER is very different | 09:10 |

| blackout | Dabian, i'm wondering about the security. | 09:11 |
| Dabian | Nobody wants to help me? | 09:11 |
| Dabian | blackout: Well, with sudu you can limit access .. root == full access, no? | 09:11 |
| blackout | tahorg, but, once you sudo, EVERY shell is root. | 09:11 |
| Dabian | (lest you run se-linux or stuff) | 09:11 |
| Dabian | blackout: Lest you do not allow shell with sudo. | 09:12 |
| blackout | Dabian, but Ubuntu doesn't do that. | 09:12 |
| blackout | Dabian, Ubuntu allows EVERYTHING | 09:12 |
| blackout | Dabian, no limit | 09:12 |
| Dabian | blackout: Ubuntu does what you command it to. | 09:12 |
| blackout | Dabian, and if you limit, then you have to have a root user, so that the limited things can be done. | 09:12 |
| Dabian | blackout: Defaults are there to be changed, although they better be sane. | 09:12 |

| Amaranth | blackout: not running commands as root unless you actually mean to | 09:13 |
| Dabian | blackout: root-shell == root-shell, I guess .. sudo logs better .. but root can do much. | 09:13 |
| blackout | Dabian, so can any user with full sudo. | 09:13 |
| Dabian | blackout: Exactly my point. | 09:14 |
| Amaranth | http://ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo | 09:14 |
| Dabian | blackout: sudo with shell == root .. in some ways. | 09:14 |
| mjr | Amaranth, thank you, I was just looking for that link... | 09:14 |
| blackout | Amaranth, thanks, i'll look at that. | 09:14 |
| Dabian | blackout: But you can configure sudo to only allow some users that power. | 09:14 |
| Dabian | blackout: Then maybe your backup staff has access to run backup utilities as root etc. | 09:15 |
| blackout | Dabian, sure... but with root, only one gets it - even more secure. and if you use sudo, you can give some people a subset | 09:15 |
| blackout | Dabian, no, you just give them root over what they need | 09:15 |
| mecca | whats the gui for cdrecord called :\ | 09:15 |
| Dabian | blackout: But be carefull .. everytime you give someone power .. they are more likely be able to extend that power. | 09:15 |

| hwm | olorin: ie add /jre/bin to the root environment - because I am running an installer that is making a VM and I need to run that as root | 09:27 |

| Dabian | hoary? What does that mean? | 09:29 |
| blackout | and does universe contain all debian packages, or just most? | 09:29 |
| Dabian | crimsun: Debian unstable started out like that. | 09:29 |
| Dabian | IIRC. | 09:29 |
| olorin | BockBilbo, it(s quite more unstable but it's the same idea | 09:29 |
| crimsun | blackout: only main. universe only contains a subset. | 09:29 |
| BockBilbo | ohh i see | 09:30 |
| BockBilbo | :) | 09:30 |
| BockBilbo | but.. for example.. what gnome version does warty have? | 09:30 |
| BockBilbo | 2.6?? | 09:30 |
| crimsun | 2.8 | 09:30 |
| BockBilbo | or 2.8? | 09:30 |
| BockBilbo | wow | 09:30 |
| olorin | BockBilbo , 2.8 | 09:30 |
| blackout | crimsun, so if you run universe, you're pretty much totally unsecure? | 09:30 |

| BockBilbo | i think | 09:31 |
| BockBilbo | :S | 09:31 |
| blackout | crimsun, and how much a subset is it? 50% 25% 75%? | 09:31 |
| BockBilbo | well... ill have the instalation cd in about 15 minutes | 09:31 |
| olorin | BockBilbo , so hoary is more unstable than sid | 09:31 |
| BockBilbo | :) | 09:31 |
| crimsun | blackout: no, because Sid receives updates (not branded security except in changelogs), and universe receives the relevant ones from Sid's pool | 09:31 |
| BockBilbo | yes | 09:31 |
| Asako | hoary is a bad name | 09:31 |
| BockBilbo | i guess ubuntu uses lilo as bootscreen right? | 09:31 |

| olive_ | yop apt-get work with ftp source | 09:38 |
| crimsun | BockBilbo: since october | 09:38 |
| blackout | ironwolf, i sure hope so, because this is absolutely not a good soln for me. I guess i'll have to stick with Debian. | 09:38 |
| ironwolf | BockBilbo: 10.04 was the first stable release. | 09:38 |
| olorin | olive_ , why not ' sudo apt-get install amsn ' ? | 09:38 |
| olive_ | not in my folder ... argl | 09:38 |
| driftwolf | ok, so it's the kvm. anyone have any ideas how I should fix this? I've looked at /etc/X11/X86Config-4 but it looks kinda ok. I'm no expert with XFree though. | 09:38 |
| blackout | this sure is a cool experiment though. | 09:38 |
| olive_ | i am in root | 09:39 |
| BockBilbo | so... its relatively new | 09:39 |
| BockBilbo | right? | 09:39 |
| ironwolf | blackout: give the liveCD a spin, see if you like it. Then, if you need more than what's in Wary, load Hoary in < 6 months. | 09:39 |
| blackout | ironwolf, i already do... lots of heimdal, ldap, nss stuff | 09:40 |
| blackout | ironwolf, Hoary is including more stuff? | 09:40 |

| ironwolf | blackout: is universe and multiverse in your sources? | 09:40 |
| nuOpus | dont smart upgrade hoary for at least a couple of days though | 09:40 |
| blackout | ironwolf, that's my point - i'm running debian now. I won't run Ubuntu devel, it's too unstalbe | 09:40 |

| blackout | ironwolf, so i can't run packages not alreay in warty. | 09:41 |

| blackout | ironwolf, and a live CD reallyisn't a good desktop soln. | 09:41 |

| BockBilbo | what is universe?? | 09:41 |
| hwm | and don't I need somewhere an EXPORT command? | 09:41 |
| Ribs | BockBilbo: aka. 'space' | 09:41 |

| Nexinarus | How can i fix my mime types? Php files are inter-changed to html mime type and its really weird | 10:05 |
| Nexinarus | if i make a php file with gedit and save it, it thinks its a html mime type | 10:05 |

| eruin | I think the mimetype gets decided by the actual content of the file | 10:07 |
| Nexinarus | gedit, but everything thinks php files are html files even though it ends in .php | 10:07 |
| Nexinarus | so if i change the "open with" settings in nautilis, it changes html settings | 10:07 |
