| Josephus | it keeps asking me to start a second X on a different screen, but at that time there is only 1 gdm and 1 X process | 12:16 |

| nyktovus | they could be called "bob" "fred" "teddy" and "terd" .. and they'd make just as much sense | 01:39 |
| farruinn | Killian: ah, so it sounds to me like it's trying to load kernel drivers | 01:39 |
| farruinn | don't know the answer to that | 01:39 |

| farruinn | nyktovus: yeah, sorry, just reading tha now and seeing how unhepful it is | 01:40 |
| Killian | shiznit | 01:40 |
| Killian | wonder if its the Dual CPUs? | 01:40 |
| Killian | hell...could be anything.... | 01:40 |
| farruinn | basically, main contains the free software supported and maintained by the Ubuntu team | 01:40 |
| farruinn | Killian: my guess something to do with the mobo, but that's just a very uninformed guess | 01:40 |
| nyktovus | ok .. so is that like "stable" | 01:40 |
| farruinn | nyktovus: actually, warty is like stable and hoary is unstable | 01:41 |
| === Killian goes back to the drawin board for a bit....bbiab | ||
| JStrike | no. It is the supported stuff | 01:41 |
| farruinn | main, restricted, universe, multiverse exist in both | 01:41 |
| nyktovus | what the fuck? are those different repositories i never heard of? | 01:41 |
| farruinn | nope, *components* found on the repositories | 01:41 |
| nyktovus | look what happened to stable, testing and unstable? | 01:41 |
| nyktovus | can't i still use those? | 01:41 |
| farruinn | that's warty and hoary | 01:41 |
| farruinn | those are *releases* | 01:42 |
| nyktovus | uhh.. | 01:42 |
| nyktovus | .. look lets drop the releases thing.. | 01:42 |
| === Killian is away, fdisk'n HFS+ Drive [log:OFF] [page:OFF] | ||
| nyktovus | i'm talking about sources to download all the fuckin apps that are missing in this install | 01:42 |
| farruinn | nyktovus: that's not what you asked in the first place | 01:42 |
| farruinn | you need to enable universe | 01:42 |
| farruinn | that can be done by modifying /etc/apt/sources.list or through synaptic | 01:43 |
| nyktovus | right. so if i enable universe what does that mean? | 01:43 |
| nyktovus | universe is the most VAGUE term i ever heard | 01:43 |
| JStrike | It means you have access to all the other apps that are not supported by Ubuntu/cannonical | 01:44 |
| farruinn | nyktovus: look, I didn't choose the names - all of this is very easily found on the ubuntu website | 01:44 |
| nyktovus | no its not | 01:44 |
| nyktovus | i been digging around the crappy site all day. | 01:44 |
| macewan | nyktovus: uncomment the appropriate line in /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:44 |
| nyktovus | its "help" and support" sectioins need serious help | 01:45 |
| nyktovus | i know HOW to get repositories people. i dont know WHAT to comment or uncomment cause the choices of names SUCK | 01:45 |
| nyktovus | cause they are vague and unhelpful | 01:45 |
| JStrike | Dude. Get a grip | 01:45 |
| nyktovus | at least in debian they sya "unstable" testing" stable" | 01:46 |

| nyktovus | heheh | 01:46 |
| macewan | :) | 01:46 |
| Zotnix | You are using WARTY... if you have anything that says HOARY... you know you are using unstable. | 01:46 |
| Zotnix | Not very hard. | 01:46 |
| nyktovus | . i am using 4.10 | 01:46 |
| farruinn | that's warty | 01:46 |
| nyktovus | so yes the system is stable | 01:46 |
| macewan | i use it at work | 01:46 |
| macewan | stable | 01:46 |
| nyktovus | but the system is lacking tons of essential apps | 01:47 |
| macewan | such as | 01:47 |
| JStrike | So. Anyone have any idea about my Resolution problem? | 01:47 |
| farruinn | btw, the components are described at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/components | 01:47 |
| nyktovus | so i want to install,, using synaptic | 01:47 |
| macewan | what app? | 01:47 |
| macewan | have you been to ubuntuguide.org? | 01:48 |
| nyktovus | THAT was helpful | 01:48 |
| macewan | quite helpful | 01:48 |
| macewan | which app are you looking to install | 01:48 |
| nyktovus | xmms, sshd, proftpd, and netatalk | 01:48 |
| nyktovus | maybe more | 01:48 |
| farruinn | nyktovus: for ssh apt-get install openssh-server | 01:48 |
| nyktovus | i tried, its not on the cd | 01:49 |
| farruinn | xmms and netatalk are in universe | 01:49 |
| nyktovus | why cant i just use debians packages? | 01:49 |
| farruinn | erm, you don't have online repositories enabled? | 01:49 |
| nyktovus | why did ubuntu make it all confusing | 01:49 |
| macewan | are you drinking? | 01:49 |
| farruinn | do you know how to use debian? | 01:49 |
| nyktovus | not really | 01:49 |
| nyktovus | but i was learnign | 01:49 |
| macewan | sorry, that was uncalled for on my part | 01:50 |
| nyktovus | i'm not drunk, just really stupid | 01:50 |
| farruinn | ubuntu is *extremely* similar to debian - it does use deb packages | 01:50 |
| farruinn | you get them with either synaptic or apt | 01:50 |

| alka_trash | it | 01:56 |

| alka_trash | yep | 01:56 |

| farruinn | heh, me to but only because it took so damn long on my 233MHz machine! | 01:56 |
| alka_trash | I then settled down with slack | 01:57 |
| JStrike | Any X experts in here? | 01:57 |
| alka_trash | I guess not, what's your issue | 01:57 |
| Killian | i like slack....probly my fav. distro ive used outta the 4 i have used | 01:57 |
| alka_trash | Killian: it's a great distro | 01:58 |
| Zotnix | I've used RH8, RH9, FC3, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, Ubuntu, and Mandrake. | 01:58 |

| JStrike | alka_trash : I suspect it has taken a dislike to my monitor | 01:58 |
| alka_trash | JStrike: check your config file : | 01:58 |
| zenwhen | Zotnix, I switched from slack too. | 01:59 |
| JStrike | alka_trash : Nothing has changed | 01:59 |
| Zotnix | Well my list distro was Gentoo | 01:59 |
| zenwhen | I've taken to tosiing all my needed stuff in bootmisc.sh | 01:59 |
| Zotnix | Got tired of compiling... though i loved the repositories... so huge. | 01:59 |

| oh8gdv | and select the country | 03:36 |
| StevenR | oh8gdv: it would take me about 3mins with something like cfdisk | 03:36 |
| oh8gdv | StevenR: and it's not too long a process, probably you can get a coffee while it's installing | 03:36 |
| oh8gdv | StevenR: not like windows, spending the whole evening just waiting | 03:36 |

| nyktovus | didnt werk | 03:42 |
| nyktovus | it only opened it that once in that app | 03:43 |

| oh8gdv | bam: I know it's not the best idea to expect any help with not-released version, but it was my choice. so far so good. | 03:44 |
| oh8gdv | I guess I'll have to read the source | 03:45 |

| nyktovus | ??? | 03:47 |
| En3rgy | how do i do that. | 03:47 |
| snerfu | happened to me alot | 03:47 |
| En3rgy | they got stuck at the same point for hte last 3 times i've tried.. | 03:47 |
| snerfu | it will drop you back to the package install option, and when you choose it again all the stuff you already installed is cached | 03:47 |
| bam | nyktovus, you gotta enable the the "universe" level packages in synaptic to see xmms... if that's what you mean | 03:48 |
| En3rgy | how? after restart? | 03:48 |
| nyktovus | no i have it installed already | 03:48 |
| nyktovus | i just dont know where to find the app itself | 03:48 |
| nyktovus | is it in /etc? /sbin? | 03:48 |

| DonL | ahh | 04:22 |
| wm_eddie | Windows's setup doesn't even concider that you have another OS installed. | 04:22 |
| DonL | wm_eddie, yeah. That's true | 04:23 |

| DonL | me too. But I have a Linux distro on both | 04:24 |

| neighborlee | I hope future versions of ubuntu dont assume wrongly that everyone has dsl/cable connections....( I presume thats the case because not even setserial or wvdial installs during default setup!!) | 05:21 |
| === Quest-Master is now known as QM[Sleep] | ||
| nictuku | really? I installed it today and I'm almost sure I saw it installing wvdial. | 05:22 |
| neighborlee | was trying to setup my friend with ubuntu and i'm screwed without being able to get to the internet | 05:22 |
| neighborlee | nope | 05:23 |
| neighborlee | I had to install it manually by connecting to internet via windows and downloading it to his thumb drive then back over to ubuntu | 05:23 |
| neighborlee | which was ok if not slopppy | 05:23 |
| neighborlee | but the main problem is that I guesss linux overall ( maybe just ubuntu I have NO idea for sure ) is REally bad at 56 modem setup | 05:23 |
| neighborlee | one is a winmodem and while I thought id heard support for them is getting better..I didn't expect it to work period | 05:24 |
| nictuku | blame your hardware vendor :) | 05:25 |
| neighborlee | but the other two are seemingly well known modems that i'm surprised weren't detecting/setup better..one is intel with hayes chipset and the other is blaster modem with rockwell chipset I think..either way we need setserial apparantly to force it to setup right in linux ;( | 05:25 |
| neighborlee | no its not them entirely...its pretty lame when not even setserial */or wvdial is NOT part of a default linux install | 05:26 |
| neighborlee | one wonders how many 56k users have been turned off linux due to this problem | 05:26 |
| === Potn_ [~potnhbug@ip129-167.bacs-net.hu] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| neighborlee | not to mention I was getting a weird s cript error running network-admin for which I had to totally reinstall to fix | 05:28 |
| nictuku | you should also ask how many gigabytes one would have to fit in a CD to make everyone happy with a single cd distribution. | 05:28 |

| nictuku | about the dial up, I somewhat agree with you, since I am a dial up user. | 05:29 |
| neighborlee | yeah ... | 05:29 |
| farruinn | neighborlee: we have to keep in mind that this was the first release of this distro in in a word it is _amazing_ | 05:29 |
| neighborlee | I dont understand the rational | 05:29 |

| thully | Hi - does anybody know how to add to a multisession in Ubuntu using Nautilus? | 07:34 |
| thully | multisession CD-R | 07:34 |
| Tomcat_ | thully: I doubt it's possible... it has very few options. | 07:34 |
| Tomcat_ | I know how to burn files directly and yesterday I found out how to write ISOs... but I don't think Nautilus can do more. | 07:35 |
| Tomcat_ | You'll probably need cdrecord or k3b for that... | 07:35 |
| thully | This should be a priority to add in the next version - I really don't like the thought of downloading k3b on dial-up | 07:35 |
| Tomcat_ | Well you're free to make the priority public by reporting it in the Ubuntu Bugzilla or directly in the Gnome Bugzilla. :o | 07:36 |
| thully | OK - I'll do that - I've done so for other things like this where Ubuntu is lacking | 07:36 |
| Tomcat_ | Good. :] | 07:37 |
| Tomcat_ | I'd like that too... so far I don't need any burner except Nautilus - and if it has more features, all the better. | 07:37 |
| Tomcat_ | No bugs like that for Gnome. :o | 07:38 |
| thully | So, you don't add any files to CDs? | 07:38 |
| Tomcat_ | Currently no. | 07:38 |
| Tomcat_ | I always fill them up, and that's very easy on my disks. :) | 07:38 |

| |QuaD| | weird... i am running a dual monitor hoary system... i alsways have totem-xine playing movies on 1 monitor... but it won't play them today, plays sound but gives a blue screen.. tried on onther monitor it works fine | 07:39 |
| |QuaD| | any suggestions | 07:39 |
| Tomcat_ | But if I wanted to add files, I'd probably do it on a DVD backup... and the DVD burner is in a Windows PC anyway. | 07:39 |
| Tomcat_ | |QuaD|: X/overlay problem... no further ideas though. | 07:39 |
| invist | anyone running ubuntu on ppc? | 07:39 |
| |QuaD| | Tomcat_: thanks :) looks like i gotta restart xserver then | 07:40 |
| Tomcat_ | |QuaD|: It's the same when you watch xine over VNC... | 07:40 |
| |QuaD| | Tomcat_: it has always worked though | 07:40 |
| Tomcat_ | You didn't restart it already? :> | 07:40 |
| |QuaD| | which is werid | 07:40 |
| |QuaD| | nope ;) | 07:40 |
| |QuaD| | was waiting | 07:40 |
| Tomcat_ | Yeah... | 07:40 |
| Tomcat_ | I guess that's my Windows attitude... "to fix it, reboot" :o | 07:40 |
| |QuaD| | i shold update hoary while i am at it ;) | 07:40 |
| invist | good luck with that... updating hoary today broke gnome for me | 07:41 |
| |QuaD| | really? why | 07:41 |
| Tomcat_ | I'm not sure how current graphics cards work, but I believe you need to choose a monitor for overlay (video)... | 07:41 |
| invist | python2.4 was just introduced into hoary, i don | 07:41 |
| invist | I don't think all packages have updated dependencies yet | 07:41 |
| |QuaD| | Tomcat_: not true | 07:42 |
| |QuaD| | i can normally run it on either (or both) | 07:42 |
| Tomcat_ | Mh... good to know. | 07:42 |
| Tomcat_ | As I said, I don't know... I can only cite the problems we always had in Windows and Linux using a second monitor. :> | 07:42 |
| Tomcat_ | But I guess it depends on the graphics card, and if yours could do dual monitor overlay, it should continue to do so. :) | 07:42 |
| thully | out of curiosity - how do you fix hoary if it breaks on a dist-upgrade? | 07:43 |

| invist | -f is fix-missing | 07:46 |
| thully | does major breakage occur much? | 07:46 |
| invist | anytime something major gets updated you can expect something to break | 07:47 |
| thully | major things, like GNOME X, or login? | 07:48 |
| invist | or python which broke my box today | 07:48 |
| paulproteus | |QuaD|: You must come from RPMland, where people use "rpm -f" and trash their systems. | 07:48 |
| thully | Is it safe to just use warty and install selected hoary packages? | 07:49 |
| invist | i wouldn't mix the 2 | 07:49 |
| |QuaD| | :) | 07:49 |
| thully | because major breakage (in GNOME, X, or Login) scares me | 07:49 |
| zenwhen | thully, it works fine. | 07:49 |
| zenwhen | Check out the wiki article on apt pinning. | 07:49 |
| thully | I wouldn't sweat if more minor things broke, but I really don't want major things breaking very often | 07:50 |
| thully | However, there are a few things in hoary I just have to have - especially software suspend | 07:50 |

| paulproteus | If you install things like totem-xine that conflict with things in ubuntu-desktop, you should be fine.

| calc | depends on HZ right? | 09:35 |
| calc | at HZ = 1024 it would roll in just over 45 days | 09:35 |

| roo9 | that's all I have used for like 5 years now | 09:41 |
| aeruder | roo9: ubuntu has so many 'supported' packages | 09:41 |
| paulproteus | See FAQ entry on Universe, and http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UniversePackages | 09:41 |
| snowball | Can anyone give me a tip on how to install ubuntu without a working CD-ROM? I looked at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/InstallWithFloppiesHowto/view?searchterm=network%20install but am having some problems getting it to work. | 09:41 |
| aeruder | but there is also a universal repository with about a baJILLION packages | 09:41 |
| aeruder | at least! | 09:41 |
| paulproteus | aeruder: Twice that by my count. | 09:41 |
| paulproteus | snowball: The easiest way is to install using another computer that has a working CD-ROM, or to borrow a CD-ROM. | 09:42 |
| aeruder | counts have ranged from an extra 20 clear up to a extra twenty-bajillion packages | 09:42 |
| stuNNed_ | is mozilla-mplayer still borked in unstable? | 09:42 |
| paulproteus | Just put your hard drive in that machine, install, and return it to yours. | 09:42 |
| aeruder | its a difficult thing to count... | 09:42 |
| snowball | Er, it's a notebook of death. | 09:42 |
| paulproteus | snowball: Oh. | 09:42 |
| paulproteus | Yeah, I had one of those. | 09:42 |
| calc | probably around 12000 more | 09:42 |
| paulproteus | Okay, let me try harder, then. :) | 09:42 |
| aeruder | get a little laptop->ide adaptor | 09:42 |
| paulproteus | Oh, right. | 09:43 |
| aeruder | you can pick one up for less than 15 dollars | 09:43 |
| roo9 | 2.5mb/s sustained with the wireless | 09:43 |
| paulproteus | snowball: The easiest way is to install a simple Woody setup and dist-upgrade to Ubuntu. | 09:43 |
| roo9 | paulproteus: you can do that? that's cool. | 09:43 |
| calc | roo9: you can manage up to ~ 3MB/s if you turn on burst mode on your ap | 09:43 |
| paulproteus | If you're familiar with debootstrap, you can try doing that, too, snowball. | 09:44 |
| roo9 | calc: i'm in a major urban center... not likely to happen... i'm only getting the speed I am now because it's 4am... | 09:44 |
| snowball | to paulproteus. I'm running Knoppix right now, but I wanted to wipe it out and install ubuntu instead since hear it is better. | 09:44 |
| roo9 | calc: lower manhattan to be exact | 09:44 |
| paulproteus | snowball: It is better. ;) | 09:44 |
| roo9 | 565191919 bytes transferred in 220 seconds (2.45M/s) | 09:44 |
| calc | roo9: oh | 09:44 |
| paulproteus | You could use debootstrap if you'd rather. | 09:44 |
| snowball | to paulproteus: I think last time I did some weird partitioning, copied the iso over and somehow got the iso to run after booting from a boot floppy. | 09:45 |
| roo9 | calc: this computer was lucky if it got 1.0mb/s in windows | 09:45 |
| paulproteus | snowball: debootstrap is a program that simulates the Debian Installer by a series of shell scripts. | 09:45 |
| calc | heh | 09:45 |
| paulproteus | It's actually called by the real Ubuntu/Debian installer anyway. | 09:45 |
| paulproteus | snowball: Do you want to keep any config files? | 09:46 |
| paulproteus | And/or, do you want to keep any files at all? | 09:46 |
| snowball | Oh, ok. I tried doing the thing it said in the network setup on the site. I made the 3 disks, but the network disk didn't really work. | 09:46 |
| snowball | paulproteus: I can lose everything. I don't care. | 09:46 |
| roo9 | snowball: specifics, what errors did you recieve? | 09:47 |
| paulproteus | snowball: You know, to be honest, there's all sorts of TOTALLY RAD ways to do this install, but the easiest is to just use the Woody install floppies to install the most minimal-possible Woody. | 09:47 |
| paulproteus | Then set your sources.list to Ubuntu, and do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop . | 09:47 |
| paulproteus | http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/upgrade-woody has a tad more information. | 09:47 |

| roo9 | snowball: pcmcia? | 09:50 |
| roo9 | because, I have never done a sucessful pcmcia network install.... in 10 years of trying | 09:50 |
| snowball | paulproteus: Hmm. Thanks. I'll try that out. That looks easier. I could just do that from knoppix (installed on hdd)? | 09:50 |
| snowball | roo9: yes. | 09:50 |
| paulproteus | snowball: I urge you not to try this from Knoppix-on-HD. | 09:50 |
| roo9 | snowball: probably not from knoppix... | 09:50 |
| snowball | oh. Hmm. | 09:50 |
| paulproteus | It "may" work, but all the package customizations that Knoppix does will make it a great pain. | 09:50 |
| snowball | Ok. | 09:51 |
| paulproteus | There'll be package conflicts and files strewn across the system and a mess. | 09:51 |
| paulproteus | Or, let me rephrase: | 09:51 |
| paulproteus | If you gave me a day, I could make that work. | 09:51 |
| paulproteus | But I'd hate to. | 09:51 |
| paulproteus | Especially when going straight from Woody to Ubuntu Warty is so easy. | 09:51 |
| paulproteus | It's like any of these other methods (netboot, hacked-testing-floppy-install): It's possible but unnecessarily difficult. | 09:52 |
| paulproteus | If you want the learning experience, use one of those. | 09:52 |
| paulproteus | But the Knoppix-to-Ubuntu Warty upgrade will be an exercise in tedium much more than it will be instructive. | 09:52 |
| roo9 | knoppix-> warty is probably impossible | 09:52 |
| paulproteus | roo9: Don't say "impossible". | 09:52 |
| paulproteus | I repeat my "could make it work over a full day" statement. | 09:53 |
| roo9 | it's like sid->woody | 09:53 |
| paulproteus | roo9: lol. :) | 09:53 |
| roo9 | it's not impossible... but why try | 09:53 |

| kuru | i don't personally care.. as long as i can find the RestrictedFormat page and get my java on ;) | 10:43 |
| aeruder | but in general though, most opensource projects have cruddy websites... and people complain or whatever... but open source isn't about motivation by complaints, its motivation by "here's my patch, apply it or die!" | 10:44 |
| aeruder | so... feel free to design a new ubuntu web site and see what the admins think :) | 10:44 |
| kuru | aeruder: you can't really do the same with ubuntu | 10:44 |

| nyktovus | its gay, and useless | 10:48 |

| kuru | paulproteus: bingo ;) | 10:48 |
| paulproteus | nyktovus: I don't have the issue where totem has sex with other totems. Could you clarify? | 10:48 |
| kuru | paulproteus: Couldn't of have said it better. | 10:48 |
| nyktovus | it doesnt play anything | 10:48 |
| melazyboy | it has everything it needs, or rather that i ever needed from it, and it has a very easy to use layout with colors that won't make the eyes explode | 10:49 |
| nyktovus | it has an error on every file type | 10:49 |
| paulproteus | kuru: couldn't have. :) | 10:49 |
| nyktovus | and i'd rather make vlc my default | 10:49 |
| paulproteus | nyktovus: You will find it helpful to read about RestrictedFormats on the wiki and enable totem-xine support. | 10:49 |
| nyktovus | well vlc is already installed | 10:49 |
| nyktovus | and functions | 10:49 |
| nyktovus | why should i repair a stupid horse that doesnt run | 10:49 |
| paulproteus | Sure, then you can remove Totem. GNOME expects it a little, but it's not essential. | 10:50 |
| paulproteus | You won't be able to get movie thumbnails generated in Nautilus if you remove it, for example. | 10:50 |
| nyktovus | well it says it needs to remove ubuntu-desktop as well | 10:51 |
| nyktovus | :( | 10:51 |
| nyktovus | is there just a way i can make vlc the default and not totem | 10:51 |
| crimsun | that's fine, nyktovus | 10:51 |
| === psyklops [~psyklops@249.194.205.68.cfl.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| nyktovus | thats fine? | 10:51 |
| paulproteus | That's a meta-package; when that's installed, you know you have all the components of the default ubuntu desktop. | 10:51 |
| nyktovus | what is ubuntu-desktop | 10:51 |
| paulproteus | You can remove it; it's like the sticker on a box that says, "Breaking this seal means you have opened the package." | 10:52 |
| nyktovus | oh | 10:52 |
| nyktovus | lame | 10:52 |
| nyktovus | well the only totem that it say si have is totem-gstreamer | 10:52 |
| nyktovus | is that totem? | 10:52 |
| paulproteus | nyktovus: If you bothered to understand what these meta-packages are useful for, you might consider them useful rather than "lame". | 10:53 |
| crimsun | totem uses gstreamer; totem-xine uses xine. | 10:53 |
| crimsun | pretty clear if you ask me :) | 10:53 |
| nyktovus | ok right now i'm finding this a pain in the ass to play any kinda file.. i fail to see how "useful" it is | 10:53 |
| crimsun | nyktovus: did you follow the restricted formats section on the wiki? | 10:54 |
| nyktovus | it didnt seem to apply to me | 10:54 |
| nyktovus | where on that restricted formats page did it even mention wmv playback, and setting a default app | 10:54 |
| nyktovus | i'll leave totem there so long as i can add vlc to the preferred app list | 10:56 |
| === faked [~faked@L0799P22.dipool.highway.telekom.at] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| nyktovus | right now totem is the default and i cant seem to change it | 10:56 |
| crimsun | you do know that wmv is a restricted format, correct? | 10:56 |
| crimsun | thus you'll need to add the 'w32codecs' package | 10:56 |
| nyktovus | uhh. yeah and? | 10:56 |
| nyktovus | i already have them playing via vlc | 10:56 |
| nyktovus | so obviously it aint a prob | 10:57 |
| nyktovus | the prob is when totem starts poking its nosey ass around trying to tell me i NEED to use it cause its default | 10:57 |
| crimsun | so set the default app using the preferences | 10:57 |
| nyktovus | so how can i change the default? | 10:57 |

| domo | elo all | 10:58 |
| Safari_Al | nyktovus, right click the file in nautilus, choose the "open with" tab and then add vlc there | 10:58 |
| Safari_Al | nyktovus, right click and then click properties, rather | 10:59 |
| nyktovus | did it | 10:59 |
| nyktovus | but mozilla has this strange feeling that totem needs to be used | 10:59 |
| nyktovus | all the time | 10:59 |
| Safari_Al | mozilla does not use the GNOME MIME system afaik | 10:59 |
| nyktovus | ok. | 10:59 |
| nyktovus | so? | 10:59 |
| nyktovus | i'm looking for a solution not an symantic argument | 11:00 |
| Safari_Al | So you may need to configure mozilla's file associations somewhere else. | 11:00 |
| nyktovus | hmm | 11:00 |
| nyktovus | ok. | 11:00 |
| crimsun | I'm not sure why you're choosing to be hostile to people trying to assist you, nyktovus. | 11:01 |

| Safari_Al | nyktovus, firefox has a "file types" section in the "downloads" part of its configuration window | 11:03 |
| nyktovus | its like everybody wants to just rip me apart for my motive on WHY i wanna use vlc instead of totem | 11:03 |
| nyktovus | to me it just seems easier | 11:04 |
| housetier | nyktovus its the name calling that causes some uneasyness | 11:04 |
| nyktovus | i could sit and REcode totem to actually function.. or i could just set the default to vlc | 11:04 |
| crimsun | nyktovus: no one's trying to get you to use totem instead of vlc | 11:04 |
| nyktovus | didnt think i was gonna be berrated by totem-loyalists | 11:04 |
| nyktovus | :P | 11:04 |
| crimsun | nyktovus: try to remember that people might tend to be more familiar w/ totem | 11:05 |
| nyktovus | well totem doesn twork | 11:05 |
| nyktovus | it failed on everything i threw at it. | 11:05 |
| Safari_Al | nyktovus, no recoding required. all you need to do is read the RestrictedFormats wiki page on the ubuntu site, and then follow the instructions there to install totem-xine, as I think it was explained to you earlier. using vlc or using totem-xine both mean the same thing: installing extra packages. | 11:05 |
| nyktovus | vlc kicked right over | 11:05 |
| nyktovus | gotcha | 11:06 |
| nyktovus | so in this "file types" section of firefox | 11:06 |
| nyktovus | you cant "add" a filetype | 11:06 |
| housetier | faked did you install normally, as in not expert install or so? | 11:06 |
| crimsun | nyktovus: because mozilla-firefox doesn't use the same gconf configuration, it won't be affected by system-wide preferences set in gnome for certain multimedia settings | 11:06 |
| Safari_Al | nyktovus, I've never configured that part, so you may just have to play around and see what works. | 11:06 |

| aeruder | umount /proc/bus/usb | 11:18 |
| aeruder | but that won't fix it | 11:18 |

| crimsun | BlacKnight|: (this is a recurring problem with usb support in Linux 2.6. It works fine in 2.4.) | 11:19 |

| BlacKnight| | how do i remount it? | 11:19 |
| BlacKnight| | aeruder: how do i do what you said? | 11:19 |
| BlacKnight| | and why won't my camera hotplug either?! | 11:19 |

| BlacKnight| | that was 2 hours ago | 11:20 |
| crimsun | BlacKnight|: hotplug works best if there is a definition for your device | 11:20 |
| aeruder | as far as remounting usbfs, do a mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb | 11:20 |
| aeruder | as far as setting up persistent device names | 11:20 |

| crimsun | BlacKnight|: did you try what I suggested regarding uhci-hcd? | 11:21 |
| BlacKnight| | and which has placed definitions in /etc/hotplug or whatever | 11:21 |
| BlacKnight| | so remove them? i'm trying now | 11:21 |
| ernstp | now, I had to try hoary of cource... | 11:21 |
| aeruder | BlacKnight|: that will not create a /dev device for your camera | 11:21 |
| BlacKnight| | so what's -r? | 11:22 |
| BlacKnight| | remove? | 11:22 |
| crimsun | yes | 11:22 |
| BlacKnight| | and now what? | 11:22 |
| ernstp | and, gnome acting a bit strange. any other Gnome Hoary users here? | 11:22 |
| aeruder | libgphoto2 is probably using libusb (user space usb drivers ) | 11:22 |
| crimsun | BlacKnight|: reinsert uhci-hcd | 11:22 |
| BlacKnight| | with my camera on? | 11:22 |
| nyktovus | ok so is there something i can put in grub's menu.list that will make my machine actually shut off instead of just halting and saying "power down" | 11:22 |
| nyktovus | ?? | 11:22 |
| BlacKnight| | aeruder: what are the implications of that? | 11:22 |
| aeruder | BlacKnight|: none.. just that you won't necessarily get a /dev device | 11:23 |
| BlacKnight| | crimsun: ok i reinserted... | 11:23 |
| ernstp | nyktovus, nope | 11:23 |
| nyktovus | wha??? what about apm=off | 11:23 |
| crimsun | nyktovus: what's your current /proc/cmdline? you can try playing with acpi settings | 11:23 |
| ernstp | nyktovus, that list has nothing with that to do | 11:23 |
| BlacKnight| | i don't even get a /dev/bus/usb/blah/blah | 11:23 |
| aeruder | BlacKnight|: as far as udev persistent naming goes, you should do a google for persistent udev | 11:23 |
| aeruder | BlacKnight|: do you get anything in dmesg? | 11:23 |
| nyktovus | well windows turns the machine off ok. | 11:23 |

| paulproteus | That's good practice, khinester, though not required. | 12:23 |
| paulproteus | Ciao, karlheg. | 12:23 |
| karlheg | khinester, You can if you like, if that seems appropriate. Put them in sites-available and symlink to them from sites-enabled so you can turn them on and off at will. | 12:23 |

| paulproteus | StevenR_Ubuntu: "complete" is probably synonymous with --purge on the command-line | 12:40 |

| paulproteus | burnez: You should ensure that your hostname (as defined in /etc/hostname) maps to an IP address. | 12:42 |
| paulproteus | If you're not always connected to the Internet, you can add a mapping in /etc/hosts. | 12:42 |
| burnez | but i do not have a hostname... | 12:42 |
| burnez | here is, what my /etc/hosts looks like: "127.0.0.1 localhost DeBiAn-BoX localhost.localdomain" | 12:44 |
| paulproteus | What does your /etc/hostname say? | 12:44 |
| paulproteus | Alternately, what is the output of the 'hostname' command? | 12:44 |
| burnez | there is also that error, that gnome won't work propperly when i lock-in, that says that. | 12:45 |
| burnez | 1moment | 12:45 |
| paulproteus | Great, thanks. | 12:45 |
| burnez | nothing. | 12:45 |
| burnez | "Great, thanks." I have to thank you! | 12:46 |
| paulproteus | What does /etc/hostname contain? | 12:46 |
| burnez | that's it: nothing | 12:46 |
| paulproteus | Oh. That's sad. | 12:46 |
| burnez | should I add somethin? | 12:46 |
| paulproteus | You should give your computer a hostname. | 12:46 |
| paulproteus | Make up a name! :) | 12:46 |
| domo | hi again | 12:46 |
| burnez | hmm, and which one? | 12:47 |
| paulproteus | Welcome back, domo. | 12:47 |
| burnez | localhost?? | 12:47 |
| paulproteus | Something of your choice, burnez. | 12:47 |

| paulproteus | It's a bit boring, but okay. | 12:47 |
| paulproteus | My laptop is called 'baroque'; my desktop is called 'renaissance'. | 12:47 |

| [dEvIL-bOY] | like i was saying.... | 12:52 |
| paulproteus | My pleasure, burnez. | 12:52 |
| paulproteus | Now one more thing: | 12:52 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | is there anyone here who knows about airsnort? | 12:52 |
| paulproteus | Could you add a page to the wiki telling what you did? | 12:52 |
| paulproteus | [dEvIL-bOY] : Just a little. | 12:52 |
| paulproteus | weplab (weplabs) is better. | 12:53 |
| paulproteus | I took a course from the guy who wrote airsnort's algorithm, actually. | 12:53 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | does it do the same? | 12:53 |
| paulproteus | Same thing, just faster. | 12:53 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | bullshit!!! | 12:53 |
| burnez | sure... but my English is not that good.. | 12:53 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | :P | 12:53 |
| paulproteus | burnez: Write it up with a note saying your English isn't good, and someone else will come by and fix it. :) | 12:53 |
| paulproteus | That's the nice thing about wikis. | 12:53 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | but do you know if i can install weplabs from synaptic? | 12:53 |
| burnez | oh, u did not talk to me.. fine! Thank you very much, paulproteus | 12:54 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | i have searched for it | 12:54 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | and no joy | 12:54 |
| paulproteus | [dEvIL-bOY] : No, it's not. | 12:54 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | paulproteus, come on! could you please share your wisdom with us? | 12:54 |
| paulproteus | Airsnort is fine, then, and easiest. | 12:54 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | hummmm.. | 12:54 |
| paulproteus | I've only ever used airsnort anyway. | 12:55 |
| burnez | 'k, thanx again and cy'all! | 12:55 |
| paulproteus | Ciao, burnez. | 12:55 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | you see when i run airsnort it gives me a error message saying could not start monitor | 12:55 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | you see when i run airsnort it gives me a error message saying could not start monitor mode | 12:55 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | do you have the same problem? | 12:55 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | and another issue with my ubuntu, i add to a panel a battery status but it doesn't work as it should | 12:56 |
| paulproteus | [dEvIL-bOY] : Its ability to do that will depend on your driver. | 12:56 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | it's plugged into the mains and it says running on battery | 12:57 |
| paulproteus | For some drivers, you need to patch them and rebuild them. | 12:57 |
| === bitserf [~ljb@222-152-17-146.jetstream.xtra.co.nz] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| [dEvIL-bOY] | but i would imagine that orinoco driveres would work fine | 12:57 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | although i haven't installed any drivers | 12:57 |
| paulproteus | I had to patch my orinoco for monitor mode. | 12:57 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | ahhh | 12:57 |
| paulproteus | As for battery, I don't really know about that. | 12:57 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | could you possibly tell me that patch name to see if i can find it? | 12:58 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | please | 12:58 |
| bitserf | right, whoever suggested i reboot, thanks. i never thought the day would arrive i'd need a reboot to get my panels to work :) i did a single user mode, which i thought was equivalent, but apparently not...wonder if it was related to nautilus &c being blocked on a futex() syscall...seen bugginess w.r.t. to that on Fedora before | 12:58 |
| paulproteus | You should go to the web site for airsnort and look there. | 12:58 |
| paulproteus | bitserf: Awesome, glad to hear it. | 12:59 |
| paulproteus | Hey, does Nautilus' SFTP/SSH GNOME-VFS work, then? | 12:59 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | paulproteus, you see the thing is i haven't installed anything yet without the synaptic package manager | 12:59 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | as I don't know any better | 12:59 |
| [dEvIL-bOY] | and then, their website must have loads of patches | 01:00 |
| paulproteus | [dEvIL-bOY] : To make this work, it'll take work. So going to the airsnort site is the first place to look. | 01:00 |

| usual | I love it | 03:08 |
| NeoXed | i used to hate linux now i like it due to ubuntu | 03:09 |
| scoon | domo, all right. you need to put them somewhere in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ | 03:09 |
| Guardiann | i am d/l it now | 03:09 |
| scoon | domo, after that, do a depmod -a | 03:09 |
| oh8gdv | ubuntu is debian done right (from a workstation perspective anyways) | 03:09 |
| scoon | then you should be able to load them | 03:09 |

| domo | maybe I can do that by a other way ? | 03:18 |
| scoon | domo, you could look into alien is a deb that will install rpms | 03:18 |
| domo | I'm on a laptop and every think is to bright on my screen | 03:18 |
| domo | allright, I will try it | 03:19 |
| scoon | domo, but i don't think that is a very good idea. | 03:19 |
| domo | so what is the right idea for you ? | 03:19 |
| scoon | domo, i think that may be a bit of a hack, i have never used alien so i don't know tho.............. | 03:19 |
| scoon | domo, use the kernel module. | 03:19 |
| domo | you know a way to change contrast and brightness on X ? | 03:20 |
| scoon | domo, start with the docs that come with a kernel source and then pose around from there. | 03:20 |
| scoon | domo, doesn't your monitor have controls for that ? | 03:20 |
| scoon | or screen or whatever | 03:20 |

| housetier | :D | 03:28 |
| anir | i opened one web browser and and the synaptic package scoon | 03:28 |
| scoon | anir, first thing, how much swap space did you set up when you installed ubuntu | 03:28 |
| paulproteus | Nivlem: I don't get it - is bats-out-of-hell fast or slow? | 03:28 |
| anir | is my configuration is sufficient for ubuntu? scoon | 03:28 |

| Nivlem | Gotta run...L8R | 03:29 |

| === scaramanga [noname@pD9EE3ECE.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has left #ubuntu [] | ||

| Cyberjames | hi! what is the root password for ubuntu? | 03:30 |
| anir | so for me its 256 right scoon | 03:30 |
| paulproteus | Cyberjames: None. See the FAQ as regards root. | 03:30 |
| anir | is 128 MB ram is sufficient? | 03:30 |
| scoon | anir, 2 * 128 = 256 | 03:30 |
| paulproteus | URL in topic. | 03:30 |
| scoon | anir, seems that your math is correct. | 03:30 |
| anir | okay..actually i did not allcate any swap space while installing ubuntu scoon | 03:31 |
| anir | thank you scoon..lol | 03:31 |
| scoon | anir, well there you go. | 03:31 |
| scoon | anir, you don't have much ram and you have NO swap space | 03:31 |

| mjr | well, you pretty much need _some_ version of DOS to make a DOS boot disk, but you can do it in some system emulation software like bochs or dosemu, I suppose | 08:11 |

| tsw | tigger|nl: ? | 08:12 |
| djuuss | i get about 880 from fast servers | 08:13 |

| djuuss | but it touches 1.2 MB/s once in a while :P | 08:13 |
| mirak | hi | 08:13 |
| tsw | the speeds are tested from a good fast known server | 08:14 |
| tsw | its not apt-get related | 08:14 |
| djuuss | then it's connection related | 08:14 |
| tsw | yes I know | 08:14 |
| djuuss | mine is officially labeled as "2-8Mbit" | 08:14 |
| tsw | just havent found where the problem is | 08:14 |
| djuuss | but since the nearest hub is about 100m out, i get 8Mbit all the time | 08:15 |
| tsw | I had 2Mbit line, but now my isp has doubled all speeds so mine increased to 4Mbits.. | 08:15 |

| djuuss | but having *acceleration* on or off doesn't matter, as long as your using it on only one screen | 08:46 |

| djuuss | theres definitly something wrong with your xconfig file then :) *especially* the device section of your crt | 08:48 |
| joshua__ | djuuss, minor problem, but interesting none the less.... ill figure it out later | 08:48 |

| Simira | daniels: this happens when I log in on X | 10:37 |

| freedomla | that's it | 11:14 |
| freedomla | no number after it | 11:14 |

| gpled | has anyone seen any docs about what to do, when x fails to install? how to fix it up with apt-get? | 11:20 |
| magnon | gpled: you're not providing any information on why it fails | 11:21 |

| gpled | FX|Laptop: what kind of cdrom drive you have? | 11:25 |
| freedomla | DigiKill, i know that Mac can read the linux cd when it's booted into regular mode, but is it a compatibility problem? or is linux cross-platform like java? | 11:25 |
| gpled | D0wnXcaST: find a dos image, and dd it to /dev/fd0 | 11:25 |
| === f- [~f-@fplus.user] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| DigiKill | freedomla: is this a TOWER or a desktop <flat> | 11:25 |
| D0wnXcaST | what do you mean by dd ? | 11:25 |
| freedomla | tower | 11:25 |
| FX|Laptop | gpled not really sure. Its a removable one that came with the latitude c600 laptop I have | 11:26 |
| gpled | D0wnXcaST: dd if=/dosdisk.img of=/dev/fd0 | 11:26 |
| gpled | FX|Laptop: sometime they are usb | 11:27 |
| D0wnXcaST | ok, but what's the meaning of dd | 11:27 |
| DigiKill | freedomla: is it Blue and White? or beige/white colored : the tower | 11:27 |
| gpled | D0wnXcaST: man dd | 11:27 |
| D0wnXcaST | sorry, i'm newbi | 11:27 |
| FX|Laptop | Nah mine slides in and out. The floppy drive is the same. | 11:27 |
| freedomla | it's white | 11:27 |

| gpled | D0wnXcaST: hope i dont sound mean. not trying to. | 11:27 |
| DigiKill | freedomla: the Model# should be printed on the front of the tower... Powermac xxxx | 11:27 |

| === soybean [~steve@200.108.142.14] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| FX|Laptop | If I need floppy I just pull out the cdrom and same if I need the cdrom, slide out the floppy | 11:28 |
| gpled | magnon: is that a real command? that would be cool | 11:28 |
| magnon | it is | 11:28 |
| D0wnXcaST | anyway, i'll try this, but i would like to know what the command dd does exactly, seem to extract the image to the floppy | 11:28 |
| magnon | I believe it works that way | 11:28 |
| FX|Laptop | Works up until it tries to install the packages off the cdrom. :( | 11:29 |
| gpled | magnon: thanks, will try that. have to run. | 11:29 |

| DigiKill | freedomla: one thing ive been told...it may be a SCSI HDD, and ubuntu didnt like my SCSI at all.... | 11:29 |
| freedomla | everything is so sealed up inside, so it's kind of hard for me to do anything with the parts, even checking them haha | 11:30 |
| freedomla | i thought scsi drives work fine w/ linux | 11:31 |
| freedomla | that's what they use for servers right? | 11:31 |
| DigiKill | Ubuntu didnt like my Adaptec SCSI card at all on install tho | 11:31 |
| DigiKill | i had to pull it to install Ubuntu | 11:31 |
| freedomla | but i can't even boot from the cd | 11:32 |
| freedomla | i see a hd-like icon before i see the mac smiley face, but that's only for less than a second | 11:32 |
| freedomla | when i press c | 11:32 |
| freedomla | when i don't press c it doesn't appear | 11:32 |
