| RuffianSoldier | how do I do a whole network ban on someone? | 12:15 |
| ficusplanet | Jelte, Works really well with the new xserver though, so whenever you choose to move to hoary, enable the composite extension and give it another whirl. | 12:15 |
| Jelte | was thinking of maybe changing the standard alt-tab so that if you hold it on one app for 1 second, it comes to the foregruond | 12:15 |

| paradoxmo | andril: what specifically do you want to do? | 12:16 |
| olorin | Jelte: just configure that in the keyboard shortcut preference | 12:17 |
| ficusplanet | Jelte, Yeah, hoary uses x.org 6.8.1, which includes the composite and damage extensions. Composite lets you do all kinds of cool stuff - rgba, etc. | 12:17 |
| andril | paradoxmo: i would like to get rid of my M$oft PC's and convert to UBUNTU - TO SERVE | 12:17 |

| paradoxmo | andril: are you good at reading documentation? | 12:18 |
| olorin | Jelte: you can change de default action of ALT_TAB in the gnome keyboard configuration prefereces | 12:18 |

| paradoxmo | i don't like sounds in general, i turn them all off | 12:39 |
| Jelte | paradoxmo, select some other sound for it, that will ensure that the following file is created .... (trying to remember ;-)) | 12:39 |
| Jelte | then in that file, remove the wav files you previously selected, but keep the file there | 12:39 |

| Rotund | ficusplanet: Me too. after Gentoo, I love not having to think about it as much | 01:07 |
| xemoka | Rotund , paradoxmo: hmm... i'm pretty sure it's not that bad of a burn.. perhaps i'll try a re-burn.. is there any way to get the hoary on installation discs? | 01:08 |
| paradoxmo | haha, yeah 'cuz i'm so l33t that i hack into other people's irc traffic | 01:08 |
| paradoxmo | (no) | 01:08 |
| Treenaks | good burn, bad burn, sideburn.. | 01:08 |
| Rotund | xemoka: Ummm... You could do the Debian net-boot and then upgrade to ubuntu | 01:08 |
| Rotund | (honestly, not as bad as it sounds) | 01:08 |
| paradoxmo | xemoka, does knoppix work? | 01:08 |
| xemoka | Rotund: i dont yet have a ethernet card for the laptop :( | 01:09 |
| Rotund | Actually, Gentoo has deboot in it | 01:09 |
| xemoka | paradoxmo: yes knoppix works, thats why i'm confused.. | 01:09 |
| Rotund | oh, that's no good. especially for Linux =) | 01:09 |
| xemoka | heh, | 01:09 |
| FCC | well guys thanks!! | 01:09 |
| FCC | it was easier than i thought | 01:09 |
| FCC | it autoconfigured itself | 01:09 |
| xemoka | thats why i was going for ubuntu, kinda comes with alot of what i need | 01:09 |
| Rotund | FCC isn't it great? | 01:09 |
| FCC | yes | 01:09 |
| FCC | didn't have to run any proggies | 01:10 |
| FCC | for 'net that is | 01:10 |
| FCC | i will have to install samba | 01:10 |
| paradoxmo | xemoka, i *would* try burning another cd | 01:10 |
| FCC | to network my XP puter | 01:10 |
| Rotund | check the MD5sum first, to be certain | 01:10 |
| paradoxmo | good idea rotund | 01:10 |
| xemoka | paradoxmo: okay, i'll give it a shot | 01:11 |
| Rotund | FCC: It probably can read from that coputer already | 01:11 |
| xemoka | paradoxmo: maybe this time try a cd-r | 01:11 |
| Rotund | open nautilus in network | 01:11 |
| paradoxmo | xemoka: yeah, that might be it, i had that problem | 01:11 |
| xemoka | paradoxmo: hmm. | 01:11 |
| paradoxmo | the old cdrom didn't want to read the cdrw | 01:11 |
| paradoxmo | my old trusty dell pii 200 | 01:11 |
| xemoka | so no ability to get hoary on a installation cd isntead of through apt-'ing? | 01:12 |

| xemoka | Rotund: that many issues eh.. | 01:12 |
| paradoxmo | hoary is kinda flaky right now | 01:12 |
| xemoka | Rotund: i'm just used to having things so bleeding edge that i cut myself... gentoo addict.. you know.. | 01:12 |
| Rotund | xemoka: everytime I update nautilus... I have to restart X | 01:12 |
| xemoka | Rotund: ow. | 01:13 |
| paradoxmo | you could try apt pinning warty and installing stuff from hoary, if you're adventurous, that's what i'm doing | 01:13 |

| Rotund | mjt: I'd hope so | 01:25 |
| erich | Are you using the default "boot-chart", or have you modified it? | 01:25 |
| Rotund | erich: I have talked to them about it | 01:25 |
| DagaZ | paradoxmo: thx | 01:25 |
| gentoox86 | can i install a wireless card (DWL-650) driver written for kernel 2.4.20 on ubuntu latest release (4.1) ? | 01:25 |
| erich | because it doesn't play together too well with Debians "top" | 01:25 |
| TheStuff | paradoxmo, thanxagain .. but that is not wht am looking for .. i remember there was a doc. like walkthrough i cant find it | 01:25 |
| TheStuff | paradoxmo, thanx .. i got it | 01:26 |
| Rotund | erich: Interesting | 01:26 |
| paradoxmo | np | 01:26 |
| erich | Rotund: my top here by default doesn't include the "PPID" column, which boot-chart tries to use. | 01:26 |
| Rotund | okay. I haven't looked at it that much. I was more for losing the SysV things. They didn't like that answer =) | 01:27 |

| Rotund | or are they just building it for themselves? | 01:30 |
| Rotund | Can someone in Warty tell me how much RAM nautilus is using for them? | 01:30 |
| erich | Rotund: i tried building it with gcj but failed. Building it for sun jdk worked. | 01:31 |
| paradoxmo | rotund: as measured by ps? | 01:31 |
| Rotund | not that surprising I supposed | 01:31 |
| erich | Rotund: which number are you looking for? the numbers reported in top are treacheous. | 01:31 |
| Rotund | VM Size in Gnome-Sys-Mon | 01:31 |
| Rotund | Is that that right name? | 01:31 |
| erich | Rotund: the VM size usually inkludes like 4M unused memory for each thread IIRC. | 01:31 |
| erich | so the more threads an app uses, the more memory will be listed there. while the app may still be conservative. | 01:32 |
| Rotund | erich: so, what's accurate? | 01:32 |
| paradoxmo | rotund: i get 62.5M for that number | 01:32 |
| Rotund | okay. so it's gotten better =) | 01:32 |
| paradoxmo | i have four nautilus windows open | 01:32 |
| Rotund | okay. that might hurt it a bit | 01:33 |
| paradoxmo | no, wait, two now | 01:33 |
| paradoxmo | opening new ones doesn't increase the memory | 01:33 |
| Rotund | Well, nautilus NEEDS to get shrunk down. I hope they make miracles in 2.10 | 01:33 |
| paradoxmo | it's already so much faster than 2.4 i'm happy enough | 01:34 |

| Rotund | erich: It's nice to search for packages, but I do use apt-get quite a bit too | 01:57 |

| benjami | olorin, i just cant believe it....theres no option | 01:58 |
| benjami | ^ | 01:59 |
| olorin | benjami: i mean you can ... but ... use the good tools for the goor job ... | 01:59 |
| olorin | benjami: but it's not the philosophy of ubuntu ... | 01:59 |
| olorin | benjami: and if you look correctly you can choose the expert installation method at boot time ;) | 01:59 |
| Tsjoklat | benjami what is it that you want then? KDE? | 02:00 |
| benjami | theres an expert option? ....yeah maybe kde | 02:00 |
| olorin | benjami: yes there is different installation method | 02:01 |
| benjami | and then i can choose what i want to instlal? | 02:01 |
| Tsjoklat | benjami when you install 'custom' you can pick a base install: ubuntu-base and take it from there | 02:01 |
| olorin | benjami: i think it's not the expert method you need, i don't remeber her name but just have a look at boot time | 02:01 |
| olorin | Tsjoklat: Custom that's it :) | 02:01 |

| Tsjoklat | benjami I would suggest you check out the wiki pages and/or the forum | 02:04 |
| Tsjoklat | do a search for custom install and it will help you further | 02:04 |

| defunkt | now i need to figure out how to mount that drive so that i can grab those files off the slave | 02:15 |
| defunkt | then format the slave to ext3 again | 02:15 |

| Tsjoklat | so you need a grub line? | 02:16 |
| defunkt | it is not automatically recognized | 02:16 |
| Tsjoklat | is that what you are saying? | 02:16 |
| defunkt | if that is what it takes | 02:16 |
| Tsjoklat | do you want mine? | 02:17 |
| olorin | defunkt: so you have to mount the ntds partition manually | 02:17 |
| defunkt | yes, | 02:17 |
| Rotund | you can't just mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/ | 02:17 |
| defunkt | that is correct | 02:17 |
| Rotund | I think that should work | 02:17 |

| emoxer | well do you know how to login with it? | 02:35 |
| farruinn | ubhuti rootsudo | 02:35 |
| ubhuti | By default root is disabled in Ubuntu. Instead use sudo. If you haven't already, read http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo. | 02:35 |
| mjt | do you know how to login "with" other account? | 02:35 |
| emoxer | because i keep putting root as the user name when i login and it doesnt let me, and i already set a new pw for it. | 02:35 |
| emoxer | alright well, do you know how to copy and paste a folder through sudo? | 02:36 |
| emoxer | thnx for helping btw | 02:36 |

| thenuke | PotajiTo: I cant figure out any cons | 02:43 |
| emoxer | it says "you must run this program as the root user" | 02:43 |
| mike998 | PotajiTo: how do you mean? | 02:43 |

| emoxer | there's like a whole mess of deb directories in sources.list | 03:17 |

| farruinn | crimsun, I've forgotten, which is unstable, sid or sarge? I used debian unstable for some time | 03:17 |
| crimsun | calc: quite understandable | 03:17 |
| crimsun | you've done admirably for quite some time | 03:17 |
| sebas | farruinn: unstable is sid, sarge is testing yet | 03:18 |
| crimsun | emoxer: look for the line beginning with "deb ... universe" | 03:18 |
| crimsun | emoxer: uncomment that, then `sudo apt-get update' | 03:18 |

| farruinn | sebas, I would definitely go with warty | 03:21 |
| farruinn | it *just works* | 03:21 |
| sebas | So I wondered if Ubuntu's a good choice, he's known to KDE and likes it, so I'd rather have him install kde 3.3 than gnome | 03:22 |
| sebas | What is warty? | 03:22 |
| crimsun | sebas: Warty is the stable release currently. | 03:22 |
| sebas | Sorry for not having read the faq completely | 03:22 |
| crimsun | sebas: he can use KDE 3.2 | 03:22 |
| sebas | Are the KDE packages well maintained and are there upgrades often enough? | 03:23 |
| crimsun | sebas: there are no normal updates to Warty. That's why it's called "stable." (There are high-priority bugfixes and security updates.) | 03:23 |
| sebas | Ah, ok. | 03:23 |
| sebas | And what name does the 'unstable' release have? | 03:24 |
| crimsun | the development branch is called Hoary. | 03:24 |
| sebas | Ah, makes sense then :) | 03:24 |
| crimsun | it currently has a mix of 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 | 03:24 |
| sebas | Hm, nice. | 03:24 |
| crimsun | granted, you get the whole unstable flux with it | 03:24 |
| sebas | I'm compiling 3.3.2 right now (well, for the last 30hours...) | 03:24 |
| farruinn | sebas, if this person is a first time user I would definitely not put him through hoary | 03:24 |

| Se7h | can u recomend me a good language compatible to both linux/win | 04:19 |
| Se7h | i meen | 04:19 |
| Quest-Master | Python. | 04:20 |
| Quest-Master | Python. | 04:20 |
| Quest-Master | Python! | 04:20 |
| Quest-Master | :) | 04:20 |

| Se7h | w8 | 04:20 |
| Se7h | i want it to build a good gui for a project | 04:20 |
| Quest-Master | Again. | 04:20 |
| Quest-Master | Python! | 04:20 |
| Quest-Master | ;) | 04:20 |
| Se7h | well | 04:21 |
| Se7h | i never saw something like an app writen in java | 04:21 |
| Se7h | build on python.. | 04:21 |
| Se7h | i need mostly a good one for a gui | 04:21 |
| Quest-Master | Trust me. Python! GTK and Glade work wonders. | 04:21 |
| mjt | java works too, btw, and there's ALOT of programs (large and small) written on it | 04:22 |
| Se7h | mjt i know | 04:22 |
| mjt | python is a very good language to use, but it's sloooow.... ;) | 04:22 |
| Quest-Master | Not at all. | 04:22 |
| Se7h | thats my point | 04:22 |
| Se7h | for ie | 04:22 |
| Se7h | i don' want to loose time | 04:22 |
| Quest-Master | Anyone who says Python is slow has close to no experience with it. ;) | 04:22 |
| Quest-Master | Se7h: Python saves time. | 04:22 |
| Se7h | writing something just to search files | 04:22 |
| Quest-Master | Python > Java, btw. | 04:23 |
| Se7h | lol | 04:23 |
| Quest-Master | They both run at around the same speed. | 04:23 |
| Quest-Master | And Java has so much useless crap loaded into it, it's better to learn C++. | 04:23 |
| Se7h | dude | 04:23 |
| Quest-Master | Python is a very robust and clean language. | 04:23 |
| Se7h | if i want to build a gui with effect | 04:24 |
| Quest-Master | For people who want to get up and write apps. with little development time and quick results, you'll want Python. | 04:24 |
| Se7h | C++ will crap on me | 04:24 |
| Quest-Master | Yeah. | 04:24 |

| linux_galore | ineedhelp: you may have the standard lib already installed or not but remember you also need the dev package for the lib too | 05:11 |
| Garoboldy | warty | 05:12 |

| Garoboldy | went to two stores here locally to get some memory and none and edo memory LOL | 05:13 |
| linux_galore | well debian base with lets say xfce4 or black box to be honest would be better | 05:13 |

| Klowner_ | hiya Tsjoklat | 05:14 |
| Tsjoklat | :) | 05:14 |
| linux_galore | forks gnome and creates Gnome-lite | 05:14 |
| Garoboldy | so I should go with just debian straight off and use xfce4 | 05:14 |
| linux_galore | Garoboldy: yes | 05:15 |
| Garoboldy | alright thanks gusy | 05:15 |
| Garoboldy | guys | 05:15 |
| Klowner_ | Garoboldy: that's what I would suggest, or fluxbox.. somethin lighter than gentoo | 05:15 |

| Tsjoklat | linux_galore I actually like gentoo.. but the d/l/compile/them going commercial made me run back to deb | 05:17 |
| RalphNader | are the 'makes pointer from integer without a cast" warnings normal when compiling a kernel? this is my first time | 05:18 |
| linux_galore | RalphNader: warning are normal | 05:18 |
| RalphNader | good news | 05:18 |
| RalphNader | I'm afraid to try and boot from it with these warnings | 05:18 |
| RalphNader | and there are a whole bunch | 05:18 |
| RalphNader | but all that same warning | 05:18 |
| Quest-Master | Gentoo is commercial? | 05:19 |
| Tsjoklat | RalphNader just get a coffee :) | 05:19 |
| linux_galore | RalphNader: well it it bombs then just hit reset and boot with the old kernel | 05:19 |
| Tsjoklat | Quest-Master yeah where have you been | 05:19 |

| linux_galore | RalphNader: 20min on a P4 sounds a bit slow | 05:20 |
| Quest-Master | I would hate to compile a kernel | 05:20 |
| Klowner | compiling kernels isnt bad | 05:21 |
| Tsjoklat | Quest-Master apparently they had a main developer that poured all his savings into getting gentoo commercialized go bankrupt and spill the beans | 05:21 |
| Tsjoklat | google it | 05:21 |
| RalphNader | well I'm almost convinced it's looping | 05:21 |

| Klowner | compiling X is far more frustrating than a kernel, as far as patience goes | 05:22 |
| RalphNader | lol | 05:22 |
| RalphNader | haven't been down that path just yet | 05:22 |
| Tsjoklat | linux_galore they have postponed it.. to make the waves go down but yeah they are still going commercial | 05:23 |

| Blitzkrieg-Billy | first make a commercial release, then...., next profit | 05:25 |
| linux_galore | well the original guys working on the gentoo embedded side said the gentoo guys were not very professional and dont keep promises and lie not only to the developers but to the user base | 05:25 |

| Klowner | I'll switch to ubuntu or debian then, gentoo isn't that freakin great | 05:26 |
| linux_galore | problem with the Gentoo comercial embedded distro is "they dont own the code" the original coder can force them to totally open source the whole lot | 05:26 |
| Blitzkrieg-Billy | I tried gentoo but if I want to compile things I will become a programmer | 05:26 |
| Klowner | right, they don't even package the sources | 05:27 |
| linux_galore | I compile stuff but its only when I need to do it | 05:27 |
| Klowner | it'd be stupid | 05:27 |
| Tsjoklat | so much for open source | 05:27 |
| linux_galore | I think wind river will bury Gentoo Embedded | 05:28 |
| Blitzkrieg-Billy | I have had very bad luck with compiling stuff myself, since I don't have a programming background I try to avoid it | 05:28 |

| Blitzkrieg-Billy | I dont know...I think I would go debian for server and ubunter as workstation/desktop but I have very little experience with both | 05:35 |
| linux_galore | I use Debian stable on my email server..works fine | 05:35 |
| Blitzkrieg-Billy | er ubuntu....damn spelling | 05:35 |

| Tsjoklat | jmaya woody or sarge? | 05:36 |
| jmaya | woody | 05:36 |
| linux_galore | woody | 05:36 |
| Klowner | (stable) would be woody | 05:36 |
| Tsjoklat | jmaya get the sarge network install | 05:36 |
| jmaya | yup it is a pain. | 05:36 |
| Tsjoklat | some think sarge is stable lol | 05:36 |
| Tsjoklat | just making sure | 05:36 |
| linux_galore | sarge has a nice install though | 05:36 |
| linux_galore | but Im happy with woody | 05:36 |
| Tsjoklat | jmaya I had to throw in a dif card to get it up and then put my normal card in | 05:36 |
| Tsjoklat | solved it by d/l a sarge cd | 05:36 |
| jmaya | I dont know how to get sarge on a cd. Since I need woody to get sarge any idea? | 05:37 |
| Tsjoklat | it will do dhcp but that's easily fixed | 05:37 |
| jmaya | naaa the e100 driver does not come with woody | 05:37 |

| Tsjoklat | sarge is like their stephchild | 05:39 |
| linux_galore | well when its "stable" is technically the release date for Debian | 05:39 |
| linux_galore | strange though Sarge is actually a bit behind the likes of SuSE and Mandrake by about 6 months now and is considered not stable | 05:40 |
| === sls [~stephans@209.98.142.161] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| linux_galore | well on Mandrake 10.1 Im already using kde 3.3.2 but Sarge last I looked is still 3.2.x | 05:41 |
| regeya | if so, I wouldn't expect it to be stable. | 05:41 |
| regeya | though this being debian it's a little shocking | 05:41 |
| Blitzkrieg-Billy | does it really perform that much better? | 05:41 |

| === anto__o [anto@203.130.197.108] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| linux_galore | well KDE 3.3.2 to be honest Im finding is more stable than kde 3.2.x by a mile lol | 05:42 |
| Blitzkrieg-Billy | personally I am lazy and if it works decently on that perticular system I leave it | 05:42 |
| Blitzkrieg-Billy | ok if its a stability thing then I understand | 05:43 |
| linux_galore | kde 3.3 is way faster especially if your opening files and using the browser | 05:43 |
| Blitzkrieg-Billy | but when I tried to run mandrake it was so bogged down and slow, now I have ubuntu on the same system and it works a lot better | 05:43 |
| === regeya has used kde 3.3; it's way better, yeah | ||

| Tsjoklat | it is still bloat galore though | 05:45 |
| Tsjoklat | but man, it's so nice to skin :) | 05:45 |
| regeya | and the kde team is threatening to attack the usability problem...hm. | 05:45 |
| linux_galore | Tsjoklat: bloat should be cut down when they swap to QT 4.0 | 05:45 |
| regeya | I've heard crazy rumors that arts might get ripped out in favor of makign apps gstreamer-aware...amarok already is | 05:46 |
| Blitzkrieg-Billy | I could understand running it on a better system but on my 500mhz/192 ram system it wasn't working | 05:46 |
| Tsjoklat | linux_galore yeah I'll try it out on my lt.. but I wish there was a better way of having ubu/kde | 05:46 |

| Tsjoklat | for my kde testing I still have to have sid.. with ubu it was a mega disaster | 05:46 |

| |QuaD| | Tsjoklat: not bad, considering loading up qemu and testing out kde on ubuntu | 05:51 |

| GotD0t | linux_galore: no it wont, you cant run nautilus as root either... wtf do you need that for anyways? | 06:33 |
| linux_galore | how do I pass unrestricted su privileges to nautilus | 06:33 |
| linux_galore | GotD0t: easy font installer | 06:33 |
| bizzie | Alright. I booted from the installation CD. I have cleared off my firewire disk, so I can create a 10 gig partition for Linux. I get through the majority of the first part of the installation, then the yaboot utility fails to be loaded at 60%. If I continue the installation process, everything else finishes fine. I then need to restart to do step 2, but Linux does not auto reboot, OS X does. If I hold down the option button, the firew | 06:33 |
| bizzie | Hopefully that will make sense. | 06:33 |
| GotD0t | linux_galore: just use the CLI... its 100 times more powerful than nautilus | 06:33 |
| sls | linux_galore: can i apt-get that? | 06:34 |
| linux_galore | GotD0t: this is for normal people | 06:34 |

| GotD0t | linux_galore: bah... teach them the use of cp | 06:34 |
| GotD0t | linux_galore: make a script | 06:34 |
| sls | no problem but where do i copy Windows fonts to? | 06:35 |
| sls | I have lots... | 06:35 |
| GotD0t | sls: download the mscorefonts or w/e form the repos | 06:35 |
| linux_galore | GotD0t: why Konqueror and Nautilus both have a font installer.......just highlight the fonts you want to install "copy" then open Konqueror or Nautilus and type fonts:/ then past | 06:35 |
| linux_galore | sls: you cant just copy fonts in they need to be setup too | 06:36 |
| sls | Ubuntu will not let me do that... | 06:36 |
| eruin | the fonts in the mscorefonts arent as good as the fonts from xp | 06:36 |
| regeya | ! | 06:36 |
| farruinn | bizzie, what model computer are you using? | 06:36 |
| sls | Linux_galore: in RedHat, all you had to do was copy them to .fonts in your home folder. | 06:37 |
| linux_galore | eruin: I got the fonts of Windows XP and Office XP...you can also easly grab a copy of the web of the fonts | 06:37 |
| regeya | have the folks at MS changed the corefonts since they've pulled it? Dang. | 06:37 |
| bizzie | Imac G4 | 06:37 |
| GotD0t | linux_galore: like i said, make a script that installs it | 06:37 |
| regeya | eruin makes a stupid claim and then runs. | 06:37 |
| linux_galore | GotD0t: yeah but thats fine but not every mum and dad user is going to write a script | 06:37 |
| GotD0t | linux_galore: write a script for them ;-) | 06:38 |
| linux_galore | GotD0t: and why should they .nautilus and konqueror both have a fonts installer | 06:38 |
| sls | Linux_galore has a poing -- now how do we get theminstalled? | 06:38 |
| farruinn | bizzie, when you hold down option does it automatically boot the firewire drive or does it give you a choice? | 06:38 |
| sls | GotD0t: whenI do what you describe nothing happens. | 06:39 |
| GotD0t | sls: i didn't tell you do to anything... | 06:39 |

| jonathan_ | so whats goin on guys | 08:00 |
| magneto | evolution was 2 seconds | 08:00 |
| |QuaD| | the one complaint i have, i shouldn't have it cuz i use hoary, but they should make a repo for warty that gives people updated copies of the 3 packages everyone uses (gaim, ff, ooo) | 08:00 |
| |QuaD| | like unfreeze those 3 | 08:00 |
| magneto | but my bootup is always 60 seconds | 08:00 |
| |QuaD| | i timed my bootup | 08:00 |
| |QuaD| | i use hoary kernel | 08:00 |
| |QuaD| | 68 seconds | 08:01 |
| neighborlee | yeah id not mind a slightly faster boot | 08:01 |
| magneto | i dont use modules | 08:01 |
| neighborlee | yeah default ubuntu loads a ton of stuff | 08:01 |
| magneto | plus that ubu kern is fat as heck | 08:01 |
| magneto | too much for me | 08:01 |
| neighborlee | heh | 08:01 |
| neighborlee | yeah its nice and fast | 08:01 |

| defunkt | i got the drivers from the nvidia site - the newest ones | 09:45 |
| defunkt | and i logged into root | 09:45 |
| Se7h | defunkt no need | 09:45 |
| defunkt | term | 09:45 |
| defunkt | well i want the newest ones tho | 09:46 |
| Se7h | why? | 09:46 |
| defunkt | all of these have been installed | 09:46 |
| defunkt | and it's running like shit | 09:46 |
| Synek | why so? to have + 0,1 fps in q3? ;-) | 09:46 |
| defunkt | well | 09:47 |
| defunkt | right now i am running about 2fps | 09:47 |
| defunkt | it's really reallly really slow | 09:47 |
| defunkt | and choppy as hell | 09:47 |
| Se7h | thats because u'r using the "nvidia" driver | 09:47 |
| defunkt | what else can i use | 09:47 |
| dreamer | sorry :P | 09:47 |
| Se7h | u need "nv" driver | 09:47 |
| Ribs | Nvidia's latest driver works fine here. | 09:47 |
| Ribs | Se7h: erm, that's bad advice | 09:48 |
| Se7h | is it ? | 09:48 |
| Ribs | the nv driver has no 3D acceleration at all | 09:48 |
| Se7h | well..works for me | 09:48 |

| defunkt | gah | 09:48 |
| defunkt | i want to use this nice 5500+ | 09:48 |

| defunkt | it's on there | 09:49 |
| defunkt | and installed | 09:49 |

| Ribs | decklin: Run 'glxgears' | 09:49 |
| Agrajag | Se7h: then there's no way in herll you're using nv. | 09:49 |

| Ribs | You can call it 'This is my gfx card' for all it matters | 09:56 |

| dreamer | gnome/metacity | 09:56 |
| Ribs | You see there are comments at the top of the file? lines that start with # ? | 09:57 |
| Ribs | You need to put a # at the beginning of lines I tell you, this is known as 'commenting out' lines. It basically tells xfree to ignore those lines. | 09:57 |

| Mesta | thanks Lamont_r but I don't think it's commited 'cause I just found, "We only fix bugs in our stable releases which truly affect overall system security" <http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SecurityUpdateProcedures/view?searchterm=hoary%20security%20update>. | 10:18 |

| ajmitch_ | who has the job of thrashing out what people say on the keyboard? | 10:21 |
| Mesta | I'm at a standstill. You'd assume that they'd be putting in the security fixes as they go else they'd have a stable version with security issues for the next release date | 10:21 |
| jdub | if there is input for the meeting from the channel, i will speak | 10:21 |
| ajmitch_ | Mesta: new packages are uploaded all the time into hoary | 10:21 |
| ajmitch_ | security fixes included | 10:21 |
| ctd | jdub: What times this? :) | 10:22 |
| lamont_r | Mesta: it's more a function of the work load on the people doing warty-security, mixed with their guess of how fast the fix will come from sid. | 10:22 |
| ajmitch_ | often a new version will fix the problem instead of just a security patch | 10:22 |

| xoxoxo | i guess i must use hoary (?) | 10:32 |
| crimsun | xoxoxo: only officially in hoary | 10:32 |
| miqorz | it should be in debian unstable | 10:32 |

| xoxoxo | in debian unstable? but people always tell me not to install from debian repo, since it may not work in ubuntu (?) | 10:33 |
| Synek | xoxoxo: get the source and compile it for yourself | 10:33 |
| ajmitch_ | there's a firefox backport for warty somewhere | 10:33 |
| crimsun | hoary repo, xoxoxo. | 10:33 |
| miqorz | xoxoxo: Maybe, Maybe not. | 10:33 |
| miqorz | Not too sure. | 10:33 |
| miqorz | My friend uses debian sources without issue. | 10:33 |

| crimsun | depends on the specific versions of dependencies it's compiled against | 10:34 |
| smo | in itself, it probably won't. if you let it pull in dependencies, it can get messy (I went there) | 10:34 |

| xoxoxo | ok, i expect firefox 1.0 (and others) will be backported to warty soon | 10:38 |
| === miqorz is downloading much of the Full Metal Alchemist series | ||

| Synek | xoxoxo: don't completly rely on .debs | 10:41 |
| xoxoxo | it take time to collect patches, doesnt it? | 10:41 |

| miqorz | Patchsets my man. | 10:41 |
| smo | Tomcat_: I don't see "w3" on there at all, in image nor text | 10:41 |
| Tomcat_ | xoxoxo: There's a 2.6.9 kernel as Ubuntu package on the Power Management Testing (PMTesting) page on the Ubuntu wiki... I doubt it's for production use though. | 10:42 |
| Tomcat_ | smo: Regular MoinMoin wiki then? | 10:42 |
| smo | yup | 10:42 |
| Tomcat_ | smo: Okay, thanks... I guess they changed the IP and my DNS didn't catch up. | 10:42 |
| miqorz | i use alan cox's patchset aka ac sources | 10:42 |

| jblack | There's a big discussion going on right now about commoditizing configuration | 11:06 |
| jblack | wood1: I'm there right now. | 11:06 |
| wood1 | Wow, really | 11:07 |
| wood1 | What's going on there ? | 11:07 |
| wood1 | By the way, were you invited or are you one of the Ubuntu Developers ? | 11:07 |
| ajmitch_ | wood1: see #ubuntu-meeting | 11:07 |

| crimsun | xoxoxo: yes. | 11:10 |
| jblack | xoxoxo: jdub is summarizing in #ubuntu-meeting. I'm sure that somebody is keeping a log | 11:10 |
| xoxoxo | crimsun, i mean i want to see the file list of package that is still in repo, not yet in my machine. is that possible? | 11:11 |
| smo | Tomcat_: Would it be useful on a P1? ;o) | 11:11 |
| Tomcat_ | smo: I think it's useful on any processor that supports multiple frequencies... :> | 11:12 |
| crimsun | xoxoxo: for Debian proper, yes, there is infrastructure. I do not know if Ubuntu has similar structure up and running for the equivalent of packages.debian.org | 11:12 |
| xoxoxo | if not, i think this is where ubuntu should improve. | 11:13 |
| === RuffianSoldier [icechat5@dhcp024-209-106-036.woh.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | I'm fairly certain the infrastructure just needs to be enabled | 11:14 |

| crimsun | xoxoxo: presuming you want: dpkg-deb -c http://foo/bar.deb | 11:15 |
| crimsun | Conectiva has extended apt to handle remote locations, but afaik those changes have not been merged into Debian's apt | 11:15 |
| xoxoxo | crimsun, is that possible? but as an enduser, i dont care about the repo address, so that is the bad solution | 11:16 |

| crimsun | xoxoxo: one that resides on a remote server but isn't installed on your local system? | 11:17 |

| lamont_r | or openssh-server... | 11:19 |
| === lamont_r checks | ||
| xoxoxo | crimsun, yeah the way you tell me work, but that doesnt satisfy me much. i expect smt simple like this: "dpkg-deb -r vim". suppose -r mean i will get the data from remote repo, not local. | 11:19 |
| === ant_o [anto@203.130.197.108] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| lamont_r | openssh-server | 11:19 |

| xoxoxo | well, i am looking for something like that | 11:19 |
| wood1 | But I want to connect using X-Windows | 11:19 |
| mjr | you can run X programs via ssh by using the -X switch | 11:19 |
| lamont_r | xdmcp, or just splatting xterms at the remote machine? | 11:19 |
| lamont_r | there are issues with cleartext in most such uses... | 11:20 |
| crimsun | xoxoxo: hmm, I see now. | 11:20 |
| lamont_r | but again, you would need to tell X to listen on more than 127.0.0.1 | 11:20 |
| crimsun | xoxoxo: add it to the suggestions on the wiki | 11:20 |
| lamont_r | wood1: actually, you'd need to tell X to listen on a tcp socket, period. | 11:20 |
| xoxoxo | crimsun, i meant in idealy way, user dont care where is the repo. he just want to get the file list of certaint package | 11:20 |

| wood1 | So before, you used to use Windows | 11:48 |
| wood1 | in your cafe | 11:48 |
| siimo | warty_girl, whats so illegal about using that software? unless they were pirated copies | 11:48 |

| Potaje | wenas | 11:49 |
| warty_girl | siimo, it is no ilegal | 11:49 |
| siimo | well what would you be threatened then | 11:49 |
| smo | wood1: Yes, that's what was there when I got there | 11:49 |
| Q-FUNK | warty_girl: that's because you joined EU. Russia still thrives on pirate copies of everything. | 11:49 |
| warty_girl | siimo, but bsa behaved as if you were a thief unless you proved otherwise | 11:49 |
| Tsjoklat | jdub I am glad that there is 'more' out there.. I never heard of debian women or linuxchix before | 11:49 |
| wood1 | Well what made you switch from Windows in Linux for your cafe ? | 11:49 |
| jdub | Tsjoklat: whoa! you should join up :) | 11:49 |
| siimo | well you could easily prove that | 11:49 |
| warty_girl | Q-FUNK, it happened long before eu | 11:50 |
| jdub | Tsjoklat: we should have something cool for ubuntu too :) | 11:50 |
| Simira | jdub: yes, how did that bof go? I'm working on an article about Debian-women and Ubuntu | 11:50 |
| Tsjoklat | jdub I am/did! | 11:50 |
| jdub | Tsjoklat: :-) | 11:50 |
| Tsjoklat | jdub yes.. and whatever you are planning... you can count me in | 11:50 |
| wood1 | Still, Linux has a long long way to catch up with MS-Windows | 11:50 |
| warty_girl | and i think it is better these days. they cannot do such thing in EU - like invade private property | 11:50 |
| Q-FUNK | warty_girl: did it? How come CZ bent so quickly to the BSA goons? | 11:50 |

| smo | wood1: they were previously outsourced (maintanance) thru a local IT firm. the machines were frankly a mess. about a third could actually sign-on to msn, most but not all could print, one was infected with something that was attempting to send emails twice every second. | 11:50 |
| jdub | Simira: sweet! | 11:51 |
| warty_girl | Q-FUNK, because MS and our government - very personal friends | 11:51 |
| smo | wood1: So I presented a slightly modified LiveCD that just behaved, and didn't require expensive bolt-on software to keep windows sane | 11:51 |
| Tsjoklat | jdub it might be a good idea to put on that wiki links to nix pages for women | 11:51 |
| wood1 | warty_girl, what is the name of your government ? | 11:51 |

| Tsjoklat | waaa what are we talking about? politics and religion don't go very well in here people | 11:53 |

| wood1 | Well what would be the "Phrase" to tell the Windows people to switch to Ubuntu Linux ? | 12:08 |
| Simira | I don't think there are one | 12:09 |
| smo | I didn't .. I rolled a LiveCD that included most the things I guessed people would need (ie, browser plugins), then just produced it whenever there was problems | 12:09 |
| smo | actions, not words :o) | 12:09 |
| Simira | the functionality is as good, but different | 12:09 |
| wood1 | Well Linux still has about 15 years to catch up with Windows | 12:10 |

| cemetric | In my opinion most "hard-core" windows companies wil not switch to Linux for one reason ... the money | 12:11 |
| Q-FUNK | smo: which tools did you use to roll the custom CD? | 12:11 |
| cemetric | Linux doesn't cost money in itself that we all know | 12:11 |
| wood1 | Well there are costs behind the picture | 12:12 |
| Q-FUNK | cemetric: retraining on a completely different platform costs more than you think. | 12:12 |

| cemetric | yes ... and it's not only the people at the company but also their customers offcourse ... especially if you're a service oriented company | 12:15 |
| Q-FUNK | from that perspective, downloading an ISO costs bandwidth. | 12:15 |
| agenteo | siimo: what do you specify in the printer? | 12:15 |
| smo | wood1: For perspective, you said you had around 1000 staff? This is a small indy coffee shop with 4 fulltime staff & 1 schoolkid for random evenings | 12:15 |

| Solatis | i couldn't find a direct anwser of this on the website: it is said that Ubuntu is based on debian, does it also have a package-management compared to debian (such as apt), or is it solely based on 6-months releases ? | 01:37 |
| jaroug | is there a packages web search engine for ubuntu ? | 01:37 |
| Simira | you have apt-get and synaptic | 01:37 |

| jaroug | Solatis: are u in ubuntu ? | 01:40 |
| Solatis | i think i'm gonna switch from gentoo to ubuntu on my workstation for a while... i don't know, after 3 years of gentoo i feel like something new... and it's going to be a relief not having to compile all the time :) | 01:40 |
| Solatis | jaroug: nahhh, i'm in Gentoo right now | 01:40 |
| wood1 | Gentoo Linux is great for learning Linux but bad for your daily work | 01:41 |

| BlacKnight| | wierd | 03:50 |
| kent | BlacKnight|, btw, its a cool sound to use as default in gaim :) | 03:50 |
| daniels | erich: the ideal case is xfs, where you have an online repacker, so you can tell the kernel to make a certain group of files contiguous on-disk | 03:50 |
| BlacKnight| | why dosesnt xdcc work when i try to d/l from xdcc channels? | 03:50 |

| magnuscanis | ? - still, it's easy enough to add your own | 03:55 |
| punkrockguy318 | okay | 03:55 |
| punkrockguy318 | and did ubuntu come up with a cd burning solution besides nautilus? | 03:56 |
| magnuscanis | not sure, haven't explored that side of things yet but I'm fairly sure there are alternatives available | 03:56 |
| punkrockguy318 | okay | 03:56 |
| punkrockguy318 | is gnucash available? or some other money management system? | 03:56 |

| punkrockguy318 | hmm i might give ubuntu a try | 03:59 |
| Pacchio | and dpkg -i ..... | 03:59 |
| magnuscanis | I can understand it not working without sudo :) but I'm mystified otherwise | 03:59 |
| punkrockguy318 | arch is nice... but there really isn't enough developers | 03:59 |
| magnuscanis | punkrockguy318, Ubuntu is certainly worth a look | 03:59 |
| magnuscanis | It's my favourite distro so far (admittedly not looked at v. many) | 03:59 |
| punkrockguy318 | magnuscanis, i installed it on my buddy's pc and it seemed nice | 03:59 |
| punkrockguy318 | my mother wants to use linux... and arch wouldn't be for her | 04:00 |
| punkrockguy318 | it's not reliable enough | 04:00 |
| Solatis | what's the default password for sudo ? | 04:00 |
| Solatis | it's not the same as for su - :) | 04:00 |
| magnuscanis | Solatis, it should be your own user password that you set up on first install | 04:00 |
| Solatis | which kind of... ehrm... looks strange :) | 04:00 |
| Solatis | ahhh ok | 04:00 |
| punkrockguy318 | Debian unstable was just too confusing... even for a linux expert | 04:00 |
| Solatis | ahhh crap that explains all those admin tools not working | 04:00 |
| Solatis | i was using the root password :) | 04:01 |
| magnuscanis | I'm surprised there is one, unless you set it specifically | 04:01 |

| Pacchio | now i'm at work tonight try at home | 04:02 |
| Solatis | besides, i want to maintain my linux systems generic - in all the other systems i su -, it would be 'weird' to do su -s -H (or what was it) on the ubuntu workstation :) | 04:02 |
| magnuscanis | Solatis, I'm getting used to sudo although I still prefer su for some stuff (e.g. if I want to run several root commands together) | 04:02 |
| Pacchio | where is the conf for eciadsl? | 04:03 |
| Solatis | yeah exactly, and when i'm setting up my system like right now, i really want that a lot :) | 04:03 |

| llun_ved | ah | 05:26 |
| wood1 | So your home PC has Ubuntu installed | 05:26 |
| wood1 | and you probably dual boot that with Windows | 05:26 |
| StyXman | gangalino: simple, is not debian | 05:26 |
| Pacchio | yes at home | 05:26 |
| kent | StyXman, dont get my wrong ubuntu hoary and debian unstable is not the same. I just ment that ubuntu hoary could be regarded as ubuntu unstable right now. | 05:26 |

| wezzer | I have 2 soundcards, one is integrated to motherboard and another is PCI-soundblaster-audigy | 06:21 |
| CaseysZ28_ | modprobe emu10k1 | 06:21 |
| wezzer | problem is, that there is no alsaconf in ubuntu so I can't define default-soundcard | 06:21 |
| === mh21 [~mh21@itk-88.bas-net.by] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| wezzer | so ubuntu sets integrated card to default, because it modprobes it first | 06:21 |

| pluesch0r | in ubuntu, that is .. | 06:52 |
| Treenaks | pluesch0r: that depends on the 32-bit code and how it's linked and everything | 06:53 |
| pluesch0r | Treenaks: i'm merely thinking 'bout the macromedia flash plugin. ;) | 06:54 |
| moquist | anybody here speak French? | 06:54 |
| pluesch0r | since i can compile anything else on my own. | 06:54 |
| Treenaks | moquist: ask again in #ubuntu-fr | 06:54 |
| Treenaks | pluesch0r: you don't need to compile, get the packages from universe | 06:54 |
| moquist | Treenaks: might have better luck there, yeah. :) | 06:54 |
| Treenaks | pluesch0r: and I think flash is one of the "notably unsupported" packages | 06:54 |

| maruen | somebody could help me how to install xfce in ubuntu? | 06:55 |
| mjr | pluesch0r, eg. the openoffice package does that, but it's kinda kludgish; if you really need to run 32-bit packages, your best bet is to probably set up a 32-bit chroot environment | 06:55 |
| jcoventry | i have successfully installed vlc and gnome-vlc onto Ubuntu linux...but when i select 'VLC for GNOME' from the Multimedia menu in the Applications list, nothing happens! | 06:55 |
| pluesch0r | i see .. well, that's the same problem as on debian, then. | 06:55 |
| mjr | pluesch0r, basically yes | 06:56 |
| iz | jcoventry, try to start it in a terminal a watch what happens | 06:56 |
| jcoventry | i get an error | 06:56 |
| pluesch0r | *sigh* | 06:56 |
| iz | jcoventry, what sort of error? | 06:56 |
| jcoventry | iz, the error is "Illegal Instruction" | 06:56 |
| iz | ai | 06:57 |
| pluesch0r | mjr: when asking in the debian-channel, the answer to the question when 32bit-binary-support would be added in the amd64-tree was "after sarge" .. is there any information when this will be possible on ubuntu? | 06:57 |
| Treenaks | pluesch0r: in hoary :) | 06:57 |
| Treenaks | pluesch0r: (i.e. after warty ;)) | 06:57 |
| mjr | I don't know spesifics | 06:58 |
| pluesch0r | Treenaks: yeah well, hoary can already be installed. | 06:58 |
| mjr | (will it really be in hoary?) | 06:58 |
| Treenaks | pluesch0r: it's not done yet | 06:58 |
| Q-FUNK | pluesch0r: if you dare try Hoardy, simply substitute all occurences of warty in sources.list, it's already there although it's a moving target. | 06:58 |
| pluesch0r | Treenaks: is it planned? | 06:58 |
| Treenaks | mjr: I think it might be | 06:58 |
| Treenaks | pluesch0r: not really as a goal | 06:58 |
| pluesch0r | Q-FUNK: i know, did that. broke my system nicely. :) | 06:58 |
| Treenaks | pluesch0r: more as a "would be nice if" | 06:58 |
| pluesch0r | i see. | 06:58 |
| Q-FUNK | pluesch0r: ouch | 06:58 |
| pluesch0r | Q-FUNK: ah well, i expected it. | 06:59 |
| pluesch0r | :) | 06:59 |
| Q-FUNK | tried pinning warty as higher priority in apt/preferences? | 06:59 |
| pluesch0r | no, i re-installed warty. | 06:59 |
| pluesch0r | and my laptop will stay on warty. | 07:00 |
| jcoventry | well, iz?? | 07:00 |
| Q-FUNK | here, I've got the whole sheebang in my sources, and use apt/preferences to sort out the priorities between testing/unstable/experimental/warty/hoary. | 07:00 |
| Treenaks | jcoventry: I have no idea | 07:00 |

| mjt | i usually install grub/lilo in linux partition, and if win* screws it up, it's just a matter of firing fdisk and changing active partition | 08:24 |

| scaramanga | hello | 09:34 |
| craig | Ok, maybe not hex.. | 09:34 |

| === thoreauputic [~debianarc@wolax7-063.dialup.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Fwiffo | dcm: seems more reasonable than installing stuff the other way | 11:58 |
| dcm | Fwiffo: I didn't know Hoary was out yet, where can I get it? | 11:58 |
| Synek | dcm: hm, strange way, i assume that new ssh ver is good-to-have, but new ver of xchat gives gou nothing at all, i suppose | 11:58 |
| tomchuk | the_gummibear: mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab | 11:58 |
| === alka_trash [~homer@c-67-166-91-212.client.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
