| djcobol | anyone got a few minutes to help me out with some problems installing Ubuntu on my desktop PC? | 12:29 |
| Ng | djcobol: can certainly try | 12:29 |
| djcobol | I get to the the "choose location" screen, and after I select "United States", I get a solid blue screen | 12:30 |
| Ng | hmm | 12:31 |
| djcobol | I waited about 5 minutes for something to happen after that and nothing did. after that I pressed CTRL+C to try and escape out. I can see an error message flash for a second that says something about framebuffer and a module not found before it goes to a solid blue screen again | 12:31 |
| insomny | does anyone know how to make sounds play in the same time ? for example : gaim and xmms and system sound at the same time | 12:31 |
| djcobol | I tried to boot using "linux framebuffer=false" after that and nothing changed | 12:32 |
| Ng | djcobol: weird, I've not come across that. perhaps you could post to the mailing list about it, or file a bug? so the developers can help track it down | 12:32 |
| === tahorg is now known as tahorg[dfx] | ||
| insomny | Ng : no idea about my question ? | 12:34 |
| djcobol | "trying to enable framebuffer" and "FATAL: Module HID not found" are the 2 errors I can see | 12:34 |
| Ng | insomny: I'm not sure because my sound card doesn't have that problem. Possibly you need to run esd, but I'm not sure if that's right for Ubuntu | 12:34 |
| djcobol | am I doing something wrong with the special startup command? I told it not to use the frame buffer, but it looks like its still trying to find/start it | 12:35 |
| Ng | djcobol: I wouldn't have thought either of those is particularly fatal. what graphics card do you have? | 12:35 |
| djcobol | ATi Radeon 9600 Pro | 12:35 |
| insomny | Ng : It's what everyone says but I don't know how to control or configure esd... | 12:35 |
| Ng | insomny: in the preferences menu pull up the Sound preferences | 12:36 |
| Ng | then tick "Enable sound server startup" | 12:36 |

| jonmasters | Well it would unlikely benefit anything that wasn't Netburst underneath (P4). | 01:28 |
| dsoft | hiya | 01:28 |
| jonmasters | lo | 01:28 |
| okplayer02 | any opinions about amd 64 and ubuntu | 01:29 |
| okplayer02 | is there much of a difference | 01:29 |
| crimsun | difference between ...? | 01:30 |
| jonmasters | As to whether to use it or what? | 01:30 |
| okplayer02 | yes | 01:30 |
| jonmasters | I have an AMD64 box which runs stock non-AMD64 Ubuntu. | 01:30 |
| okplayer02 | well im looking to run the 64 bit version | 01:31 |
| illek | I never could get X-server to work under AMD64. Standar Ubuntu works freat on my AMD64 | 01:31 |
| jonmasters | I don't need 64bit userland really on that box. | 01:31 |
| crimsun | amd64 Ubuntu is well-supported | 01:31 |
| okplayer02 | oh ok | 01:31 |
| okplayer02 | well i have laptop | 01:31 |
| okplayer02 | so thats another issue | 01:31 |
| jonmasters | It'll be slightly more interesting in terms of performance if you go for AMD64 - depending upon use. | 01:31 |
| lukins | do you really feel any difference in speed? | 01:31 |
| okplayer02 | ohok | 01:32 |
| dsoft | how can i change the refresh of my monitor at ubuntu? | 01:32 |
| === RuffianSoldier[A is now known as RuffianSoldier | ||
| okplayer02 | like one i wanna have my native resolution which is 1280x800 | 01:32 |
| jonmasters | I think in some cases you would - I don't have figures. Theory is great but practice matters - double the number of registers is fine and dandy but double the memory bandwidth is also necessary. | 01:32 |
| dsoft | i can find a "resolution" option at menu, but not "monitor" | 01:32 |
| lukins | dsoft, you have to rerun the x setup program, of course, i don't remember the command | 01:32 |
| dsoft | :( | 01:33 |
| farruinn | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 | 01:33 |
| pusling | is there a fancy way to reinstall _all_ installed packages? | 01:33 |
| jonmasters | Just do a reconfigure? | 01:33 |
| jonmasters | indeed. | 01:33 |
| dsoft | farruinn, that command? | 01:33 |
| farruinn | you'll have to do it with sudo | 01:33 |

| dsoft | whats the bus port of agp? | 01:35 |

| farruinn | dsoft: just log out/log in | 02:46 |
| kerframil | dsoft: a properly configured system should use fam in gnome-vfs to take care of it. Try kill -HUP `pidof gnome-panel` | 02:46 |
| kerframil | from a console | 02:46 |
| kerframil | the panel will reload itself, and that should do the trick | 02:46 |
| dsoft | sure == sudo kill -HUP 'pidof gnome-panel' ? | 02:47 |
| kerframil | no need for sudo | 02:47 |
| kerframil | gnome-panel is running under you account, not root | 02:47 |
| dsoft | uhm, my ' are not same as ur | 02:47 |
| kerframil | yes, you need to use backticks | 02:47 |
| kerframil | or just run pidof gnome-panel separately, observe the PID | 02:48 |
| === sidney [~sidney@68-174-152-195.nyc.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| kerframil | and feed that to kill -HUP as an argument | 02:48 |
| dsoft | yeah, it worked, (it reset the menus), thx, but maybe i didt do fine the work, (it dont appear) | 02:49 |
| kerframil | odd, perhaps the program in question doesn't actually register a menu entry | 02:49 |
| === dylaw has got firefox V 1.0 now :) | ||
| kerframil | obviously if you log out and in then that will prove it either way | 02:49 |

| lek | which module would that be | 03:08 |
| diego | dsoft: np | 03:08 |
| dsoft | kerframil, i mean, u can be root at console | 03:08 |
| dsoft | but not at x-window at all | 03:08 |
| diego | lek: i use psmouse i think | 03:08 |
| lek | for usb? | 03:08 |
| dsoft | i only had that chance at mandrake | 03:08 |
| kerframil | dsoft: you can, if you enable the root account by giving it a password I suspect | 03:08 |
| dsoft | wich sudo passwd? | 03:08 |
| kerframil | dsoft: but running X as root isn't a brilliant idea anyway, I think the ubuntu approach is quite a good one | 03:08 |
| kerframil | dsoft: I think so | 03:08 |
| sidney | what do i need to change to upgrade to hoary? | 03:09 |
| diego | dsoft: kerframil is saying that if you enable the root account, you can then be root. i think there may be a gdm option that disables the root account from logging in, but then again maybe i'm thinking of kdm...meh! | 03:09 |

| deceptive_uk | everyone feel sorry for me... my mobo and processor on my desktop are out of service so no ubuntu for a while :'( | 04:36 |
| DeviantDog | that would suck? | 04:36 |
| deceptive_uk | DeviantDog : it does :( i could install warty or hoary on this notebook, but im not sure my WNIC would work | 04:37 |
| unperson | Ack, that sounds unpleasent. | 04:37 |
| unperson | So I take it noone else is using warty and having mplayer package issues? | 04:38 |
| spikeb | deceptive_uk: okay, i feel sorry | 04:38 |
| DeviantDog | anyone have experience with Warty and SATA? | 04:39 |
| deceptive_uk | Would anyone know if Warty or Hoary work with linksys WNIC's, the livecd didnt:( | 04:40 |
| cef | there are a number of different chipsets in those linksys wnic's, so it's hard to say | 04:40 |
| deceptive_uk | well ive looked but theres absolutely no model number...silly i know! lol | 04:41 |
| unperson | deceptive_uk, All I can say is it works fine with my Dell TrueMobile. Not sure the chipset exactly, but it uses the orinoco driver. | 04:42 |
| deceptive_uk | ah ok, thanks | 04:43 |
| DeviantDog | anyone have experience with Warty and SATA? | 04:43 |
| deceptive_uk | is the livecd much different in modules etc.. from Warty? | 04:43 |
| bratsche | I use SATA, and it just worked. | 04:43 |
| DeviantDog | hmmm do you know what chipset? | 04:44 |
| bratsche | I forget. I have MSI K8T-Neo mobo, and it has two SATA chipsets I think: one VIA and one Promise. | 04:44 |
| bratsche | I think I'm using the VIA one. | 04:45 |
| bratsche | But I'm not sure. | 04:45 |
| DeviantDog | hmm I'll have to try it then if its with the via chipset. | 04:45 |
| bratsche | What chipset do you use? | 04:45 |

| === sfranklin [~sfranklin@162.33.147.6] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| lil_anthony | honestly i'm not sure i figured it was part of vncserver | 06:14 |
| paulproteus | Okay. Normally, it is; but it looks to me like you have an Xvnc from somewhere else. | 06:14 |
| paulproteus | So, let's use the program called 'which'. | 06:14 |
| lil_anthony | alright | 06:15 |
| paulproteus | It'll tell you the full path to the command you give it. | 06:15 |
| paulproteus | Use it like this: | 06:15 |
| paulproteus | which Xvnc | 06:15 |
| lil_anthony | in the bin | 06:15 |
| lil_anthony | usr/local/bin | 06:15 |
| paulproteus | Having it in /usr/local/bin strikes me as wrong. | 06:15 |
| paulproteus | Ubuntu's packaged Xvnc comes in /usr/bin. | 06:16 |
| paulproteus | Did you try to install a VNC server from somewhere else, by any chance? | 06:16 |
| paulproteus | Either way, we'll have to get rid of this dysfunctional one before we can continue. | 06:16 |
| lil_anthony | can you help me in doing so? | 06:16 |
| lil_anthony | i know a little about linux but not alot | 06:16 |
| paulproteus | Sure, that's fine. | 06:16 |
| lil_anthony | thanks | 06:16 |
| paulproteus | First of all, did you try to install VNC from somewhere else? | 06:16 |
| lil_anthony | i believe so | 06:17 |
| paulproteus | That would explain this; and also, it will help us fix it. | 06:17 |
| lil_anthony | i tried tightvnc i think | 06:17 |
| lil_anthony | and realvnc | 06:17 |
| lil_anthony | from their websites | 06:17 |
| lil_anthony | i know tightvnc for sure | 06:17 |
| paulproteus | Okay. | 06:17 |
| paulproteus | Do: | 06:17 |
| paulproteus | cd /usr/local | 06:17 |
| paulproteus | Now I'll have you run this command: | 06:17 |
| paulproteus | find | 06:17 |
| paulproteus | That will print every file and directory. | 06:17 |

| kleedrac | Hey guys ... with the new craft (as opposed to freecraft which got shut down) is there any way to import the Warcraft II stuff still? | 06:31 |
| paulproteus | I suggest using Method 1 on http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Java , cottonginntonix. | 06:31 |
| cottonginntonix | this is where i went to:http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.jsp | 06:31 |
| paulproteus | cottonginntonix: The advantage of this method is that it's known to do the integration properly with Ubuntu. | 06:32 |
| paulproteus | There are other ways, but then you must configure things yourself manually. That's why I recommend the Wiki page above. | 06:32 |
| cottonginntonix | awesome thank you ill take a look at that before i ask anymore stupid questions :) | 06:32 |
| kleedrac | I agree with paulproteus ... it only details the JRE not the JDK but it still works better including firefox plugin | 06:32 |
| cottonginntonix | btw, when i download programs and have to "instal" them, do i always have to do all this coding stuff in the terminal? | 06:32 |
| paulproteus | cottonginntonix: No. You should be able to do most installing through Synaptic. | 06:33 |
| kleedrac | You can run synaptic from System -> System Preferences for a gui version of apt-get | 06:33 |
| cottonginntonix | where is this synaptic at? | 06:34 |

| paulproteus | Okay. Unfortunately, someone (I don't know who, and it doesn't really matter who) seems to have broken the file called "sources.list" that controls where you download software from. | 06:40 |
| paulproteus | You can automatically get software through the program Synaptic, but it must be configured correctly. By default, it is, so it's not clear why it's broken. But it is, so let's fix it first. | 06:40 |
| paulproteus | Then we can get Java on in a very straightforward way. | 06:40 |

| nasty | so, it looks as if someone wants to install lbreakout2... | 06:43 |
| paulproteus | Okay. I think the best thing to do is to: | 06:43 |
| cottonginntonix | *listening* | 06:44 |
| paulproteus | 1. Move his file out of the way. | 06:44 |
| cottonginntonix | errr or *reading* hehe | 06:44 |
| paulproteus | 2. Put a normal sources.list file here instead. | 06:44 |
| paulproteus | You can move his file using the "mv" command. | 06:44 |
| paulproteus | I suggest doing: | 06:44 |
| paulproteus | mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.that_guy | 06:44 |
| paulproteus | That'll move his out of the way. | 06:45 |

| nasty | hi acecase | 06:52 |
| cottonginntonix | hihi | 06:52 |
| paulproteus | In a terminal, just type it in. | 06:52 |
| paulproteus | It's important that you run it as root because you'll be writing to a system file. | 06:52 |
| acecase | if i remove Xf86 or whatever x server Im running, with apt-get take care of getting rid of everything that depends on it? | 06:52 |
| acecase | will apt-get* | 06:53 |
| acecase | :) | 06:53 |
| cottonginntonix | ok so i typed taht in | 06:53 |
| cottonginntonix | now what do i do? lOL sorry... :/ | 06:53 |
| paulproteus | cottonginntonix: No worries. | 06:53 |
| paulproteus | Are you in an editor now? | 06:53 |
| cottonginntonix | um...i dunno all i did was type that nano -w thing in root | 06:53 |
| paulproteus | You can tell you're in the nano editor because there's help on the bottom (things like "^X to exit" are printed there) and as you press enter, you move down on the screen. | 06:54 |
| cottonginntonix | GNU nano 1.2.3 | 06:54 |
| cottonginntonix | yes i think i am good then | 06:54 |
| nasty | shucks... web doesnt work no more... | 06:54 |
| paulproteus | Okay, good. | 06:55 |
| paulproteus | Now do you have that web page open still, cottonginntonix? | 06:55 |
| cottonginntonix | yes | 06:55 |
| paulproteus | Select the part with a grey background, and do Edit->Copy in Firefox. | 06:55 |
| cottonginntonix | my name is Deidre u can just say D or something if u dont wanna type my alias lol | 06:55 |
| paulproteus | Now go to the terminal program, and do Edit->Paste. | 06:55 |
| nasty | oh, now it does!?!!! | 06:55 |
| cottonginntonix | ok did that. | 06:55 |
| paulproteus | Okay. So the nano editor now has those lines in it? | 06:56 |
| paulproteus | If so, press Control-w to "Write" the file. | 06:56 |
| paulproteus | Then do Control-X to eXit. | 06:56 |
| ironwolf | is there a problem with python2.4-pyorbit in hoary? | 06:57 |
| paulproteus | Then you should be back at a shell again, rather than still in that editor, Deidre. | 06:57 |
| cottonginntonix | ok i pressed control-w | 06:57 |
| cottonginntonix | it didnt seem like it did anything | 06:58 |
| paulproteus | The line at the bottom may have asked you for a filename. | 06:58 |
| paulproteus | If it does, you should accept /etc/apt/sources.list (which should be there) by pressing enter. | 06:58 |
| paulproteus | Do you see what I'm talking about? | 06:58 |
| Agrajag | um | 06:58 |
| cottonginntonix | should i do control-x now? | 06:58 |
| Agrajag | it's crtl-o to write the file | 06:58 |
| Agrajag | not ctrl-w | 06:58 |
| paulproteus | Agrajag: Yikes! Thanks. | 06:59 |
| cottonginntonix | lol maybe thats why then haha | 06:59 |
| cottonginntonix | ill do it over | 06:59 |
| paulproteus | You can do Control-O now to writeOut. | 06:59 |
| paulproteus | (Thanks, Agrajag. It would have asked about saving on ^X, but thanks.) | 06:59 |
| cottonginntonix | ok do i need to write any filename | 07:00 |
| cottonginntonix | its fine with /etc/apt/sources.list right? | 07:00 |
| paulproteus | The filename there should be /etc/apt/sources.list . | 07:00 |
| cottonginntonix | ok! | 07:00 |
| paulproteus | If that's what's there, accept it by pressing enter. | 07:00 |
| cottonginntonix | now what? lol | 07:00 |
| cottonginntonix | ok i did enter | 07:00 |
| paulproteus | Are you out of Nano now? | 07:01 |
| cottonginntonix | ya and the new sources.list is in the apt folder | 07:01 |

| paulproteus | My policy, cottonginntonix, is that you thank me when it works. :) | 07:08 |
| cottonginntonix | lets go for easy | 07:08 |
| paulproteus | Good choice. :) | 07:08 |
| cottonginntonix | oh belive me ill thank u and more (omg that sounded slutty ( hahah | 07:09 |
| acecase | can i butt in just one time and recommend the latest packages for java. they have improved performance emensly | 07:09 |
| cottonginntonix | its up to paul, im just the do-er | 07:09 |
| cottonginntonix | whatever is easiest for u to explain | 07:09 |
| acecase | :) it doesn't matter much :) | 07:09 |
| paulproteus | acecase: Good point. I don't know of any 1.5 debs, though, so I'll stick with "easy" for now. | 07:10 |
| cottonginntonix | jeeze i have never been on a channel that everyone was so nice and willing to help, its refreshing to know there are NICE PEOPLE in the world still | 07:10 |
| acecase | matters more if you're writing then it does if you're running. the newest SDKs are the big difference | 07:10 |
| paulproteus | cottonginntonix: Hopefully, you're at the point now where you can help yourself, since your system is no longer broken in crazy ways. | 07:10 |
| paulproteus | So read http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Java and come back with questions. | 07:10 |
| paulproteus | You might find you need to read the SynapticHowto linked from that page. | 07:10 |
| paulproteus | You should get fairly well-acquainted with the the Ubuntu Wiki pages: there's a lot of well-written user-contributed documentation there. | 07:11 |
| cottonginntonix | ok so ur sending me off on my own to see if i can do it myself and if i cant come back in? | 07:11 |

| acecase | I'm using multiverse/hoary so i realize I can't expect everything to be rite | 07:26 |
| acecase | another thing i can't seem to find any info on is, wether theres a way to tell apt-get to use source and compile with opts for i586 | 07:27 |
| ryan | heh | 07:27 |
| ryan | i think after hoary stable comes out i'll stick with it until the next major release | 07:27 |
| acecase | Ive just been compiling everything myself but thats a waiste of a pretty mature package manager :) | 07:28 |
| ryan | i'm tired of following unstable -_- | 07:28 |
| paulproteus | acecase: apt-get -b source package_name should work. | 07:28 |
| ryan | at least on my main desktop | 07:28 |
| paulproteus | Set the right environment variable, and gcc will stick to using those. | 07:28 |
| acecase | thanks paulproteus. /etc/make.conf? | 07:28 |
| paulproteus | No. Let me rephrase: | 07:29 |
| paulproteus | When you run ./configure ; make ; make install , the configure script takes some options from the environment variable. | 07:29 |
| paulproteus | One important one in $SHELL, which of course contains the shell in use. | 07:29 |
| paulproteus | It takes other information from the environment, too. | 07:29 |
| paulproteus | But, acecase, you should know that only in rare cases is i586 packages actually faster than i386 packages. | 07:29 |
| paulproteus | Benchmarks of Debian i386 against Gentoo custom usually come out either in dead-heat or with Debian slightly ahead. | 07:30 |
| acecase | yeah, only in larger packages | 07:30 |
| paulproteus | This is because the bigger the program, the WORSE optimization is for it. | 07:30 |
| acecase | oh realy? | 07:30 |
| ryan | is devil's pie the app to extend metacity's keybindings and such | 07:30 |
| paulproteus | Very math-intensive packages benefit, but today's programs aren't math-intensive: they're space-intensive. | 07:30 |
| paulproteus | When you optimize, you increase code size; that decreases cache hits, and so your CPU spends more time waiting for program code to be loaded from disk. | 07:31 |
| paulproteus | So, even if the code it was going to run is faster, it takes longer to get to the CPU. | 07:31 |
| acecase | hmm thats intresting | 07:31 |

| acecase | paulproteus isn't that microsoft's motto? "let you're system decide what you want" lol | 07:34 |
| paulproteus | Using Debian-packaged Java, or using make-jpkg to build your own Debian package of more recent Java, is much better than mucking around yourself. | 07:34 |
| acecase | nah, i get what you're sayin | 07:34 |
| TTilus | acecase: you forgot that "and not to tell you nothing" -part | 07:35 |
| paulproteus | Same thing with make-kpkg for kernel images - Debian handles symlinks and make modules_install and make dep and all that for you. | 07:35 |
| paulproteus | The general rule really is, "Trust those who know more than you when they offer you tools to do mind-numbing work for you." | 07:35 |

| acecase | alias? i hate to admit it but i don't even know what that is | 07:44 |
| thoreauputic | acecase: OK that's useful | 07:44 |
| acecase | thoreauputic :) thanks but i almost NEVER enable gdm. i wrote the script, did ./gdm-startup remove and have never used it again :) | 07:45 |
| thoreauputic | alias is substituting say, sd for ssh -X foo@bar | 07:45 |
| acecase | cool :) i didn't know you could do such a thing | 07:45 |
| acecase | ima have to look into that, thanks | 07:46 |
| thoreauputic | if you type alias you'll see the existing ones | 07:46 |
| thoreauputic | acecase: for instance I have alias aterm='aterm +sb -tr -sh 80 -rv' | 07:46 |
| thoreauputic | I did that one of course | 07:46 |
| thoreauputic | put them in .bashrc or /etc/profile | 07:47 |
| acecase | i'm getting way to exited over this :) it's truly usefull to me though. i seriously write scripts for everything and this is better | 07:47 |
| thoreauputic | acecase: yes, for some things - scripts are better for bigger stuff | 07:48 |

| khadyoung | SO.. why is X-Chat better than gaim for IRC? | 08:16 |
| thoreauputic | khadyoung: well, it depends: it has more options, for sure, if you need them | 08:17 |
| khadyoung | Maybe this isn't the place to ask, but what am I missing using gaim? What options does X-Chat have that I am not getting? | 08:18 |
| thoreauputic | khadyoung: if you just want to chat, gaim does the job - if you need configurability, xchat is better, and if you are a total geek you use irssi-text | 08:18 |
| thoreauputic | ;) | 08:19 |
| khadyoung | thoreauputic: OK, seriously, I used irssi and it just seems like anyone who uses it is just _trying_ to look cool. It is really an awful program. | 08:19 |
| thoreauputic | khadyoung: click the help button in xchat for more info, or google for "irc beginners" or "irc introduction" and so on | 08:20 |
| khadyoung | Will do. | 08:20 |
| thoreauputic | khadyoung: it isn't awful - it is very useful and configurable | 08:20 |

| khadyoung | thoreauputic: It just seems very poorly designed. I guess I'm speaking from a usability standpoint. | 08:21 |
| hwm | when I try to run synaptic, I get the following: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: - how can I fix this? | 08:21 |
| thoreauputic | khadyoung: well, it takes some learning: the docs on the irssi site are a good place to start | 08:22 |
| hwm | I am running the synaptic command from terminal su - | 08:22 |
| khadyoung | thoreauputic: Thanks, but I'll probably stick with a graphical client. :) | 08:22 |
| thoreauputic | khadyoung: also it is nice to run when you just want to keep an eye on a chan - it doesn't beep at you and it stays out of the way | 08:23 |
| khadyoung | thoreauputic: Beeping sucks. | 08:23 |
| thoreauputic | khadyoung: sure - like everything, each has its uses | 08:23 |
| khadyoung | hwm: I hate to ask, but did you try rebooting? | 08:23 |
| hwm | it is persistent. And I am running under VMware anyway | 08:23 |
| hwm | Other x-apps run, like firefox, open office.... though some take rather a while to start and some exhibit the same error before eventually starting but synaptic just exits | 08:25 |
| khadyoung | hwm: Do you know what happened right before the error began occuring? | 08:25 |
| hwm | has always occurred, so far as I can tell... it didn't start happening after I did something, for example | 08:25 |
| thoreauputic | hwm: if you started X as a user, it might complain when root tries to use the display | 08:26 |
| hwm | so you think I oought to xhost + before su ? | 08:26 |
| thoreauputic | hwm: sudo would be a better option I think | 08:26 |
| thoreauputic | xhost + is *very* insecure, you know | 08:26 |
| khadyoung | hwm: It sounds like a VMWare problem. | 08:26 |
| thoreauputic | I doubt it. Sounds like an Xauth thing | 08:27 |
| thoreauputic | mit-magic-cookies etc | 08:27 |

| poptones | the original username behaves... the new one doesn't ask for passwd at all. very odd | 08:31 |

| ryanmcgregor | This question is sort of off topic from what i was wondering before, but if i want to upgrade to the hoary line in the future, i rename all parts that say warty in /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the universe/multiverse repositories right? what happens if something that i installed from those repositories is dependant on something in the normal repositories...such as a part of gnome 2.8? | 10:01 |
| crimsun | there is no need to comment out universe or multiverse | 10:02 |
| crimsun | you would simply replace "warty" with "hoary" | 10:02 |
| cenerentola | other thing: why if i run network-admin, it doesnt accept the user password, and if i do gksudo network-admin, it works | 10:02 |
| ironwolf | just curious... anyone know why gallery is in universe and not main? | 10:02 |
| kleedrac | ryanmcgregor: Actually I just upgraded to hoary a short while ago and it works great!! :) | 10:02 |
| crimsun | then Reload (in Synaptic) or update (in apt-get or aptitude) | 10:02 |
| cenerentola | ironwolf: because is not supported by canonical | 10:03 |
| cenerentola | *it* | 10:03 |
| crimsun | more precisely, because no maintainer has stepped forward to ensure it meets the stringent QA Ubuntu abides by | 10:03 |

| ryanmcgregor | kleedrac: alright, thx, i might try it out in a bit. someone on osnews was complaining about hoary breaking their system but no one else was complaining so i held off | 10:03 |

| ironwolf | cenerentola: indeed.... was wondering if there was a reason. or just dumb luck. :) | 10:04 |
| kleedrac | ryanmcgregor: The friend who got me hooked on Ubuntu (last sunday) told me to upgrade while it was fresh as the first time he upgraded he had a couple issues ... second time was the charm for him ... first try for me worked great :) | 10:04 |
| ryanmcgregor | kipod: make sure you install the source code from ubuntu's repositories for the kernel and then download the installer from www.nvidia.com, kill xfree86 (init 3 didnt work for me, so i just changed the video card driver to nvidia and ctrl+alt+backspace which caused x to fail cause nvidia driver was not present yet) | 10:05 |
| kipod | is there any good offical guide for that ( installing nVidia vedio card on Ubuntu ) ? | 10:05 |
| cenerentola | ubuntuguide.org | 10:05 |
| cenerentola | is THE GUIDE | 10:05 |
| cenerentola | aridaje ... it* | 10:05 |
| ryanmcgregor | kipod: and then run it from the command line, add the word nvidia to /etc/modules and then reboot | 10:05 |
| kipod | ryanmcgregor, how do i do that ? | 10:06 |
| cenerentola | kipod: well there's a nice tutorial about nvidia on that site | 10:06 |
| kipod | i mean how can i check that i have ubuntu's repositories for the kernel ? | 10:06 |
| ryanmcgregor | kipod: sorry, that was confusing (my advice)...i remember seeing a good guide, ill quickly track it down for you hold on a sec | 10:06 |
| cenerentola | are you using ubuntu? | 10:07 |
| kipod | cenerentola, yeah but i need the kernel source .... and i don't find it on the kpkg ... | 10:07 |
| cenerentola | kipod: if so, you have them, for IT check /etc/apt/sources.list | 10:07 |
| ryanmcgregor | kipod: the kernel source will be in the main repository, you should already have it enabled. just go into synaptic and install the kernel headers/source | 10:07 |
| cenerentola | kipod: are you trying to install nvidia-module from apt or from nvidia.com? | 10:08 |
| ryanmcgregor | kipod: go to http://www.ubuntuguide.org/ and go to the hardware section, there is info on nvidia there | 10:08 |
| kipod | which one of the header should i install ? | 10:08 |
| cenerentola | ryanmcgregor: really ;) | 10:09 |
| kipod | 2.6.8 ? | 10:09 |
| cenerentola | ?!? | 10:09 |
| ryanmcgregor | kipod: sorry, i was not aware that ubuntu had a prepackaged driver for nvidia cards, forget my earlier advice | 10:09 |

| kipod | cenerentola, what do u mean ... i think that all the nVidia vedio cards have the same driver | 10:10 |
| ryanmcgregor | kleedrac: maybe you need the dev packages?? try checking synaptic | 10:10 |
| kleedrac | crimsun: to the rescue again huh? Thanks pal :) | 10:10 |
| cenerentola | kipod: but ther's a .deb package, and the installer from nvidia.com | 10:10 |
| ryanmcgregor | kipod: did you check the ubuntuguide.org site | 10:10 |
| kleedrac | ryanmcgregor: I guess I need to learn what to apt-get as I just tried to sudo apt-get install gtk ... forgot I'd need the dev for this :) | 10:11 |
| kleedrac | Though I must say that after years of using Suse I'm loving the fact I can use apt-get from CLI ... so much easier when ./configure throws a missing statement :) | 10:11 |
| kipod | ryanmcgregor, yeah i came from there remmber | 10:12 |
| ryanmcgregor | kleedrac: i once needed libsndfile a ./configure script told me, so i checked yum (was on fedora at this point) and it was installed, took me hours to figure out i needed libsndfile-dev ;) | 10:12 |
| ryanmcgregor | kipod: lol, forgot, im tired, sorry :P | 10:12 |
| kipod | ryanmcgregor, and cenerentola i noticed that the nvidia-setting package is missing | 10:12 |
| kleedrac | ryanmcgregor: Not a big fedora fan ... tried it for 2 weeks and couldn't play smac (I'm in a pbem group on linuxgamers.com) so I tried Ubuntu ... after less than a week I don't think I'm ever switching to anything else!! | 10:13 |
| ryanmcgregor | kipod: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and uncomment the listings for the universe repository...it might be in there | 10:13 |
| kipod | allso i must say i tryed to look for the package at google but i found none | 10:13 |
| cenerentola | kipod can you paste you /etc/apt/sources.list | 10:13 |
| kipod | ryanmcgregor, =) it was the 1st thingy i have done ... | 10:13 |

| TTilus | frogbert: hides usefull information too | 12:00 |

| croc_ | TTilus: other dists | 12:00 |
| Napo | How i can solve it? | 12:00 |

| N00B | hello all | 12:20 |
| crimsun | 'lo | 12:20 |
| N00B | has anyone has a clue how to import favorites from internet explorer into firefox ? | 12:21 |
| N00B | i tryed to copy the folder | 12:21 |
| N00B | but firefox doesn't recognise any of the files | 12:21 |
| loz | N00B: as far as Iknow, it does so automagically on first run.. | 12:22 |
| loz | firefox/mozilla stored bookmarks in a single html file. | 12:22 |
| N00B | yeah but not on linux... | 12:22 |
| N00B | coz it didn't even gave me that option | 12:22 |
| N00B | is there a way around it? | 12:23 |
| kleedrac | N00B: You have to export the bookmarks IN IE first!! | 12:23 |
| loz | N00B: so you want to convert the IE in Win to your books in Linux. One option would be to boot win and use win FF. | 12:23 |
| === cyrus-tc [~cyrus-tc@pD9527A76.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| kleedrac | Then you can import that file in Firefox | 12:23 |
| loz | not sure what format the IE books are in, maybe there's a script available on the web which'll copy them over.. | 12:23 |
| kleedrac | crimsun: What's a "Bonobo-WARNING"? | 12:24 |
| kleedrac | loz: They're individual .url files unless you have IE export them and then FF is fine with it | 12:24 |
| crimsun | kleedrac: a warning :) | 12:24 |
| kleedrac | thanks ... still can't figure out why this doesn't run :( | 12:24 |
| N00B | so you're saying if i export the links instead of copying the folder it shoudl work? | 12:25 |
| loz | kleedrac: but each url file could be processed easy by as script and put into a single html file in the moz format.. | 12:25 |
| kleedrac | N00B: exactly | 12:25 |
| N00B | gotcha | 12:25 |
| N00B | brb | 12:25 |
| kleedrac | loz: Shouldn't be too tough actually ... never thought of it ... always exported from IE first :) | 12:25 |
| loz | kleedrac: just thinking of how to do without booting win. I know Opera in Linux is able to import.. There's no reason why not.. | 12:27 |

| unperson | Mainly, I constantly forget the commands for using the info browser (and I even USED emacs regularly for a while). | 06:20 |

| LLM | like i said, im new, i dont know anything about linux | 08:58 |
| LLM | i could be wrong | 08:58 |
| Cube-ness | LLM, and are you sure youre booting off the cd? you shouldnt see an .iso file if you list the contents of the cd | 08:58 |
| Cube-ness | heh | 08:58 |
| ^SilenT^ | on a side-note. I just tried booting from the cd, worked, gotten that install menu, chose my language and country and after that nothing happens. | 08:58 |
| ^SilenT^ | haven't bothered checking it out right now, not much time. | 08:58 |
| Cube-ness | did you burn the iso as an image of just write the iso file to a cd as a file? | 08:58 |
| LLM | well it cant be booting from my HDD because its formatted | 08:58 |
| LLM | i wrote it as a file i think | 08:59 |

| moquist | Irony is in the eye of the beholder, which is certainly not where *I* would expect to find it. | 11:51 |
| sulkd | I mean.. google doesn't ask me whether the bit I'm looking for is located in a form or a table or whether it's a <h1></h1>.. it just finds what I'm looking for | 11:51 |
| sulkd | and also.. having to squint through the entire list of supported components, while the search form just shows us 4 entries at a time.. and yet the bug entry form is much nicer you just start typing the thing and it shows you possibilities | 11:53 |
