| thenuke | winXP does not no how to play with linux | 12:03 |
| ryan | i missed half the conversation but... | 12:03 |
| thenuke | you need to do FAT -partition | 12:03 |
| ryan | doesn't the ntfs kernel module have experimental write support | 12:03 |
| thenuke | and then copy files from linux to FAT and from FAT to NTFS | 12:03 |
| D0wnXcaST | ok ! but with boot disk that would let me see my ntfs partition,i could do it | 12:03 |
| ryan | and there is an ext2fs driver at sf for windows | 12:03 |
| ryan | and a berkeley ffs driver for windows | 12:04 |
| D0wnXcaST | win98 works on FAT32 or ntfs? | 12:04 |
| ryan | the one of which i did use | 12:04 |

| njan | MobyTurbo, ty. Why's that enabled by default? | 01:35 |
| njan | that breaks half of the sound apps I've used.. | 01:35 |
| squeegy | njan: you could tell xmms to play through esd as well... | 01:35 |
| njan | squeegy, it only has OSS and ALSA as options | 01:35 |
| MobyTurbo | njan, system sounds, like those drums etc, use the sound server. If you turn them off those won't work, but everything else does. ;-) | 01:35 |
| njan | MobyTurbo, gotcha. | 01:35 |
| njan | ah.. presumably that way, system sounds would still work if something else was outputting sound, so I guess that does make some sense. | 01:35 |
| njan | But it would also make sense to preconfigure xmms &c upstream to work with esd, but I guess that's why xmms is in multi/universe and not in the main repository. | 01:36 |

| === xevil [mageerc@host-216-77-195-105.jan.bellsouth.net] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| njan | Zeitgueist, if it's prism2.5, you either need the drivers from linux-wlan-ng or the ones in the linux kernel. | 01:46 |
| njan | s/linux-wlan-ng/pcmcia-cs/ | 01:46 |
| njan | I've had more luck with those than the hostap ones | 01:46 |
| njan | and the pcmcia-cs ones are rfmon-enabled, whereas the modules in the kernel aren't. | 01:46 |
| njan | not quite sure how it works in ubuntu, because I've been using wlan in gentoo for a while, but you want one of those packages or the other | 01:47 |
| Zeitgueist | well Dlink's site refers me to ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/ | 01:48 |
| Zeitgueist | so apparently those are the drivers to use | 01:48 |
| Zeitgueist | but I'm clueless as to which one I need | 01:48 |

| njan | I have them through apt | 01:49 |
| Zeitgueist | kernel even | 01:49 |
| njan | yeah, they're in universe. | 01:49 |
| njan | if you apt-get install them, pcmcia-cs should pick them up and modprobe the right thing when you insert the card.. | 01:49 |

| occy | Buffer I/O error, dev hda, sector 8 <-- sounds bad huh? | 02:02 |
| njan | yopertunity, mepis is debian-based and kde-centric, you might look at mepis. The nasty downside to mepis, as I discovered this morning, is that the community is significantly smaller than ubuntu and from what I can make out, they don't release a lot of their code, scripts, etc, as Open Source. | 02:02 |
| yopertunity | njan: squeegy: ahhh yes, but type a research paper w/o one | 02:02 |
| melazyboy | njan: Because your making a rediciolus claim that gentoo is 140% faster, when in reality typical gentoo optimizations only make a 5-15% difference. | 02:02 |
| njan | yopertunity, that last part is 'I heard it in #mepis', though, I don't know to waht extent it's true. | 02:02 |
| squeegy | yopertunity: you don't get it. | 02:02 |

| melazyboy | ... show some numbers to back up your subjective claim of 140%... | 02:04 |
| njan | melazyboy, your 'reality' aside, I have personally experienced, as someone who works in IT, in a high-availability environment in which I use my laptop, that my laptop is significantly faster in gentoo than it has been today in ubuntu, under similar load. If you want to disagree with me, you're welcome to, but as was indicated by my experiental assertion, this is based on experience, and nothing else. | 02:04 |
| yopertunity | squeegy: sorry, I just see posts all the time where people say CLI only! | 02:04 |
| njan | melazyboy, I have neither the time nor interest in putting any numbers together. | 02:04 |

| yopertunity | squeegy: oh yeah! well yours sux worsesest! | 02:05 |
| squeegy | !!!! :) | 02:05 |
| njan | melazyboy, gnome is more responsive, tab completion is faster, and I can have more open without my DE freezing for a few microseconds each time I switch Virtual Desktop, and as far as I can tell, there's a ~40% difference as far as my productivity is concerned, even if the *precise* response times aren't that great. | 02:05 |
| yopertunity | squeegy: I prefer commodore64 | 02:06 |
| melazyboy | njan: You show your experince by making a claim that is not possible, gentoo is faster because it's compiled using specialized optimizations, those can be quantified, and the number doesn't even come close to 140% | 02:06 |
| squeegy | i like windowsME a lot personally | 02:06 |
| squeegy | best version of an OS to ever exist | 02:06 |
| loststryk | does anyone know of any ftp client that can connect to ftp servers that require auth tls ? | 02:06 |
| squeegy | :) | 02:06 |
| === loststryk falls about laughing at squeegy | ||
| njan | melazyboy, bear in mind also that whilst a specific package might only be 10% faster with speed optimisations, the average linux desktop is a layered environment in which unoptimised software is running in an unoptimised desktop environment in an unoptimised xserver, on an unoptimised kernel. | 02:06 |
| njan | melazyboy, so 'speed', which is an ambiguous term, refers to the speed increase over *all four layers*. | 02:07 |
| loststryk | squeegy, you should do comedy for a living =op | 02:07 |
| squeegy | heh | 02:07 |
| njan | melazyboy, so what you're basically saying is that what I've said is, what I've asserted isn't possible because it's a claim which isn't possible, based on nebulous 'quantitative' figures which you haven't supplied either :) | 02:07 |

| squeegy | oh | 02:10 |
| njan | melazyboy, that's not what I said at all. | 02:10 |
| njan | my laptop was about 140% faster yesterday running gentoo with gnome 2.8 than it is today running ubuntu with gnome 2.8 | 02:10 |
| njan | that's what I said. | 02:10 |
| melazyboy | squeegy: Im argueing that the difference pales to that figure. | 02:10 |
| crimsun | melazyboy: no need to take offense at a purely subjective claim. Let him claim what he feels. That doesn't make it invalid. | 02:10 |

| DigiKill | question on this Synaptic Package installer....how "reliable" is it, or am i better of doin packages by hand? | 02:11 |
| melazyboy | my laptop was | 02:11 |
| squeegy | and most gentoo kids don't have a clue what they're doing with CFLAGS | 02:11 |

| njan | if you're extending that to 'gentoo is 140% faster than $otherdistro', then you're a fool. | 02:11 |
| crimsun | DigiKill: quite reliable | 02:11 |
| squeegy | DigiKill: it's reliable | 02:11 |
| squeegy | DigiKill: although i prefer using apt-get from the command line | 02:11 |
| DigiKill | crimsun: ty ....it looks like a nice setup too | 02:11 |
| squeegy | DigiKill: it's all your personal opinion though | 02:11 |
| DigiKill | i think even my parents <who know NOTHING> could use it | 02:11 |
| crimsun | it's very nice. I'm an apt-get(8) person, but Synaptic is very, very enticing. | 02:12 |
| njan | melazyboy, it was an occasional sentence. You wouldn't extrapolate 'this scottish man is drunk' to infer that all scottish men are drunk. Equally, it's stupid to assume that because I believe that in my circumstance, there's a 140% speed increase, there is always one. | 02:12 |
| njan | melazyboy, I suggest you both go back and read everything that I said carefully, and that you pick up a book or two on critical thinking and read something by Quine. | 02:12 |

| Xenguy | Tomcat_: their bad | 02:16 |
| joshua__ | Tomcat_, i was about to say it sounds like fun... but after that addition thats no fun at all | 02:16 |
| loststryk | i'd have asked them to leave | 02:16 |
| Tomcat_ | Yeah, and seeing the problems with Debian in the end, we should've only allowed Ubuntu. | 02:16 |
| MobyTurbo | Tomcat_, what did they like instead? | 02:16 |
| joshua__ | Tomcat_, i would have stolen all their hard disks and installed them myself ;-) | 02:16 |
| Tomcat_ | Well setting up Debian is fun... but you need to do so much to get the same functionality Ubuntu has out of the box... :I | 02:16 |
| DigiKill | agreed Tomcat_ | 02:17 |
| loststryk | Tomcat_, did you try the debian sarge release ? | 02:17 |
| Tomcat_ | MobyTurbo: Debian... nothing else. I think the guy who presented the distros said too much about Debian. | 02:17 |
| Tomcat_ | loststryk: Yeah, only sarge. | 02:17 |
| Tomcat_ | joshua__: ev0l :D | 02:17 |
| DigiKill | noone wanted Mandy? or SuSE? wow! | 02:17 |
| njan | joshua__, shall do. Any particular recommendations on how to make it or how to procure it? | 02:17 |
| MobyTurbo | Tomcat_, Debian is a strange choice for newbies. | 02:17 |
| Tomcat_ | SuSE wasn't available, because they suck too much... | 02:17 |
| xevil | Tomcat_ I agree... Ubuntu took less than 30 minutes to install/config | 02:17 |

| fester420 | i have a triboot systm suse 9.2 windows and ubuntu | 02:19 |
| Tomcat_ | LILO didn't want to boot Windows. (NTLDR missing) | 02:20 |
| fester420 | use grub | 02:20 |
| Tomcat_ | Tried every workaround, finally Grub... nothing. | 02:20 |
| njan | Tomcat_, I hate it when it does that :/ | 02:20 |
| fester420 | i had that same problem | 02:20 |
| DigiKill | im sittin at a "triple" boot in essence.... OS 9/OS X/Ubuntu | 02:20 |
| Tomcat_ | all options of map, rootnoverify, chainloader, makeactive... whatever. | 02:20 |
| joshua__ | DigiKill, not true, not many in the windows community realized how crappy WinME was... im sure the percentage of people who realized how bad FC2 was is much greater | 02:20 |
| loststryk | if i can ever get my ftp problem sorted, i'll never go back to windows | 02:20 |
| MobyTurbo | Tomcat_, there's a howto somewhere on loading Linux via NT's loader. | 02:20 |
| Tomcat_ | Finally we tried it the other way around... load WinXP boot loader and then run Linux from there. | 02:20 |
| fester420 | load failsafe options | 02:20 |
| Tomcat_ | Still WinXP didn't want to boot. | 02:20 |

| fester420 | you should have no problems | 02:30 |
| joshua__ | fester420, but AA runs crappy with the lowest quailty tex's and at the lowest possible screen res | 02:30 |
| melazyboy | joshua__: Glxgears isn't really a benchmarking utility, if you get over 1k fps, then you have hardware acceleration, thats all it was ever really ment to test. And with the ATI card because the driver isn't open source, there isn't much you can do about it, simply said its working above 1kfps, so its working, you can make sure you don't have conflicting modules running, ie no 'ati', you should just have 'fglrx' | 02:31 |

| punkrockguy318 | erich, under my LocalMail folder, it just said Loading... | 03:39 |
| erich | you need to configure mail recieving separately | 03:39 |
| erich | postfix is sending only. | 03:39 |
| punkrockguy318 | oh | 03:40 |
| punkrockguy318 | erich, it puts my mail into my Inbox, but it keeps coming up with a folder called "Local Mail" and its stuck on "Loading..." | 03:40 |
| erich | check the account settings for that. | 03:40 |
| punkrockguy318 | alright | 03:41 |
| punkrockguy318 | so it's just <username>@localhost right? | 03:41 |
| erich | what do you exactly want to do? | 03:42 |
| punkrockguy318 | send a mail to someone else on the local machine | 03:42 |
| punkrockguy318 | so their address would be <username>@localhost correct? | 03:42 |
| erich | yes. | 03:43 |

| erich | there is no such thing. postfix doesn't have a user management | 03:48 |
| punkrockguy318 | erich, oh, there's just one mail spool? | 03:48 |
| erich | by default it will use the standard unix users. | 03:48 |
| punkrockguy318 | oh | 03:48 |
| erich | you can set up several things, for example ldap directories or mysql databases. | 03:48 |

| wasabi | evolution. | 03:56 |
| scoon | Hikaru79, try them both out. I have used them both but always end up with evo | 03:56 |
| _ubuntuniac | thunderbird ... | 03:57 |
| scoon | Hikaru79, but i don't really know why. they are both pretty damn close. | 03:57 |
| Hikaru79 | I've been using Thunderbird up till now | 03:57 |
| Hikaru79 | But I just tried evo for the heck of it | 03:57 |
| thoreauputic | sylpheed heheh | 03:57 |
| scoon | Hikaru79, not thunderbird, maddog. it is the other great drink :) | 03:57 |
| Hikaru79 | And I'm a bit impressed, I must say | 03:57 |
| scoon | Hikaru79, the biggest diff between the 2 is that evo has PIM where t-bird does not. | 03:58 |
| Hikaru79 | "pim"> | 03:58 |
| Hikaru79 | *? | 03:58 |
| scoon | Hikaru79, i think tbird is the "light weight" alternative. | 03:58 |
| Hikaru79 | I see. | 03:58 |
| scoon | Hikaru79, Personal Info Manager | 03:59 |
| scoon | Hikaru79, think "palm" | 03:59 |

| thoreauputic | there are, however, much *lighter* GUI mail clients like balsa and sylpheed | 04:00 |
| scoon | thoreauputic, that is absolutely correct. but with how trendy mozilla stuff is now, those are easily forgotten. | 04:01 |
| thoreauputic | scoon: indeed. Sylpheed is a very nicely designed client - but it still uses gtk 1.2 so it isn't as pretty | 04:02 |
| scoon | thoreauputic, true, true. | 04:02 |
| scoon | anyone use beep media player over xmms ? | 04:02 |
| Hikaru79 | When I try to remove evolution-data-server from my computer through synaptic, it threatens to destroy some pretty important-looking stuff, like gnome-menu, gnome-applets, etc. Is it not safe to remove evolution-data-server? | 04:03 |
| scoon | Hikaru79, well it comes with the evolution client. so you are pretty much stuck with it. as stated before, if you don't have PIM to deal w/ try out tbird. | 04:05 |
| scoon | Hikaru79, even if you do have PIM stuff you could try jpalm | 04:05 |
| thoreauputic | evo is pretty tightly integrated with gnome | 04:05 |
| Hikaru79 | =/ Shucks. OK | 04:05 |
| Hikaru79 | I can remove evolution itself just fine. But not 'evolution-data-server' | 04:05 |
| Hikaru79 | Meh | 04:05 |
| scoon | Hikaru79, it only gets fired up when you start up the evo client. | 04:06 |
| Hikaru79 | Oh, OK :) | 04:06 |
| Hikaru79 | And it's probably not very space-intensive | 04:06 |
| Hikaru79 | I'll deal. | 04:06 |
| thoreauputic | Hikaru79: it deals with address book and calendar functions | 04:07 |

| scoon | _ubuntuniac, eek. | 04:48 |
| _ubuntuniac | scoon, bought my ati 9800XT and now it's a FigeGL X2 ! | 04:49 |
| _ubuntuniac | that's value for money | 04:49 |
| _ubuntuniac | slow in releasing drivers but they will sooner or later | 04:49 |

| scoon | but enough of this, it is my own politics. | 04:49 |
| diego | _ubuntuniac, installing gentoo is a good learning experience but running it (with updates) is ri-gosh-darn-diculous...i recently switched from gentoo to ubuntu because of it | 04:50 |

| _ubuntuniac | ati fireglx works fine in linus | 04:50 |

| _ubuntuniac | with binary drivers | 04:50 |
| scoon | diego, ubuntu is by far the most stable distro i have run to date. | 04:50 |

| EFS | you may also want to add 'set bg=light' as the default ubuntu terminal has a white bg and vim setting defaults to dark. | 05:25 |

| xhaker | hi i really need some help installing Warty. seen many people with the same problem | 06:42 |
| jeffbax | crimsun, I'm following - http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BinaryDriverHowto/view?searchterm=ati%20driver | 06:42 |
| xhaker | the partitions dont show up at the partition screen | 06:42 |
| jeffbax | I'm very new to Ubuntu and Linux | 06:42 |
| jeffbax | so I'm not exactly sure what you mean :) | 06:42 |
| jeffbax | I updated my kernel, then apt'd fglx-driver | 06:43 |
| jeffbax | and then i reconfigured my xserver to use fglrx instead of ati | 06:43 |
| cef | jeffbax: have you restarted X since then? | 06:43 |
| jeffbax | I reboot | 06:43 |
| cef | ahh ok | 06:43 |
| jeffbax | er | 06:44 |
| jeffbax | wait | 06:44 |
| jeffbax | I didn't reboot since reconfguring my xserver | 06:44 |
| cef | aha! | 06:44 |
| jeffbax | only when I updated my kernel and installed the driver | 06:44 |
| jeffbax | how do I restart the x server? | 06:44 |

| speel | you dont have to reboot lol just hit alt ctrl backspace | 06:44 |

| jeffbax | before i press it | 06:44 |

| jeffbax | hah, well installing a game is a whole nother ballgame | 06:48 |
| speel | lol | 06:48 |
| jeffbax | so far, my linux experiences have been pretty ... difficult :) Fedora Core 1 was slow and not very fun, Core 2 ate my boot record and I couldn't get into Windows, Debian was ok, but I was having a lot of issues because it was only a slim install. Now I'm tryin Ubuntu :) | 06:49 |
| speel | nice :) i used to be in that situation | 06:50 |
| jeffbax | i have a question | 06:51 |
| speel | fedora needs to just go home with that crap | 06:51 |
| jeffbax | is there a way for me to share my GAIM and Mozilla settings / bookmarks / logs / accounts between linux and windows | 06:51 |
| jeffbax | so I don't have to have two separate instances and redo my whole contact list again | 06:51 |
| xhaker | maybe maiking a vfat partition? | 06:52 |
| speel | hmm not to sure i mean it may be possible if you grab the seetings you want from your windows partion but im not to sure | 06:52 |
| jeffbax | another thing, if I have my ATi drivers installed correctly, should I be seeing window drag? | 06:53 |
| diego | xhaker, i don't think vfat supports permissions, which makes shit complain | 06:53 |
| speel | window drag? | 06:53 |
| jeffbax | you know | 06:53 |
| jeffbax | say you drag a window | 06:53 |
| jeffbax | and you see the window repeat a little | 06:53 |
| jeffbax | on the edge | 06:53 |
| jeffbax | until it is settled in a position | 06:54 |
| xhaker | like if it is a SFX | 06:54 |
| xhaker | lol | 06:54 |
| speel | ah yea hmm mine does it a little but not alot but i dont think that has a effect on your ati | 06:54 |
| speel | i think its just gnome | 06:54 |
| jeffbax | maybe | 06:55 |
| jeffbax | under debian | 06:55 |
| jeffbax | i had XFCE | 06:55 |
| xhaker | im still thinking if ubuntu is worth the hassle | 06:55 |
| jeffbax | didn't notice it much | 06:55 |
| jeffbax | so far I like ubuntu compared to Fedora :) | 06:55 |
| jeffbax | its just set up nicely by default | 06:55 |

| jeffbax | though there are some things i'd like to change | 06:55 |
| Se7h | liboglft0 <- cant find this dam thing | 06:55 |
| jeffbax | is there a way to make windows lock on each other like in XFCE ? | 06:56 |

| alka_trash | wow, elinks is pretty nice | 07:47 |

| discord | the f is force | 08:06 |
| thoreauputic | chown takes -R I believe (upper case for recursive) | 08:06 |

| thoreauputic | mojo_0: you are still root | 08:27 |
| cef | g: just get up to where it asks you to partition the drive. | 08:27 |
| g | ok | 08:27 |
| g | then do a alt f2? | 08:27 |
| g | as i do when i'm normally running? | 08:27 |
| cef | g: don't actually partition it. at that point, go to the second console, press enter and then mount the partition somewhere (eg: /target | 08:27 |
| cef | yup! | 08:27 |
| g | k | 08:27 |
| g | but if i mount it then i can't check it can i i'm confused | 08:28 |
| g | i don't see how you can fsck something that isn't mounted | 08:28 |
| g | and i know you said mount it and thats fine | 08:28 |
| cef | g: only reason you need to get to the partitioner is that it only detects the drives just before it | 08:28 |
| g | but do i mount it with r only or whats the deal | 08:28 |
| g | k | 08:28 |
| cef | mount it read only, or just run the fsck | 08:28 |
| g | k | 08:29 |
| cef | from that point on, you've got access to the drive. | 08:29 |
| g | ok gotcha | 08:29 |
| g | so the only reason fsck is crappin at me is cause its rw? | 08:30 |
| g | but one question | 08:30 |
| g | if it doesn't have write permissions how is it gonna fix it | 08:30 |
| poptones | sorry to interrupt, would someone mind giving a bit of bash help? | 08:30 |
| ajmitch_ | g: it has write permissions to the underlying device | 08:30 |
| g | oh ok | 08:30 |
| thoreauputic | poptones: possibly - but might be better to /join #bash | 08:30 |
| ajmitch_ | which is why it doesn't need to mount it | 08:31 |
| poptones | coolio i'll give it a shot | 08:31 |

| melazyboy | walski: Aucutually scratch that, make oldconfig, should read the config right out of the /boot dir, if you issue the command 'make oldconfig' it should copy the current kernel config file located in /boot/ to /usr/source/linux/.config, and then your read to configure and compile | 09:31 |

Those both have "sound daemons" that take over control of the soundcard once it starts, and unless an application knows how to communicate with those sound systems they will not be able to use the sound device.

| DoktorTomoe | bitserf: What seems to be the problem? I just came and didn't get your prevorius lines. | 11:16 |
| bitserf | doktor: debian (and thus by extension ubuntu) has no documentation for autoconf, because the GNU FDL is not "free enough". talk about being anal at the expense of your users.. | 11:17 |
| bitserf | there is autobook, but i'm looking for the info files because i need reference material | 11:17 |
| DoktorTomoe | being "free enough" always has been a problem to debian ... did you try google? | 11:18 |
| bitserf | well, yeah, sure, i solved the problem. i have a problem with that attitude though. so much. especially for something as widely used as autoconf...ffs | 11:19 |
| DoktorTomoe | I totally agree with that ... | 11:19 |
| DoktorTomoe | How "stuck" is ubuntu with debian's licence policy anyway? Would it be a problem just to change it for ubuntu distribution? | 11:20 |
| bitserf | i'm going to file a bug report regardless, what a pain in the ass.. | 11:20 |

| Timerever | i have this question also... a bit wierd but.... | 12:09 |
| Timerever | when you install ubuntu it has XFree4.3 | 12:09 |
| Timerever | if you install X.org 6.8 you won't have nice (and slow) shadow on gnome,cause it wasn't compiled with support for it isn't? | 12:10 |

| crimsun | you don't want the X.Org in Hoary anyhow | 12:10 |
| Timerever | ? | 12:11 |
| Timerever | is X.org broken in beta ubuntu (sorry forgot it's codename) | 12:12 |
| crimsun | yes. | 12:13 |

| ruben | Auke: my guess wil be: /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/ | 02:04 |
| erich | Auke: i think they are hardcoded in the panel source these menus. You can of course add panel folders, or add some separate applet. | 02:04 |
| ruben | however, i'm not sure if this is used with gnome-menus | 02:04 |
| erich | ruben: bad guess i'd expect. this is about VFS | 02:04 |
| ruben | i'm not at all familiar with the panel config | 02:04 |
| Auke | hmm.. could be hard-coded.. that would explain why I could find it | 02:05 |
| ruben | erich: applications are defined in some file (atleast, that's what it looks like at first sight) | 02:05 |

| Pozac | whats this about a new menu spec in the new gnome-panel? | 02:06 |
| erich | ruben: these files do the opposite - map the virtual file system applications:// to reflect the menus contents | 02:06 |
| Auke | I get the feeling that <somewhere> they define that applications and computer should show up, and then /usr/share/applications/*.desktop specify what's in those... | 02:06 |

| erich | Auke: /usr/share/applications | 02:08 |
| erich | Auke: IIRC these files are used to make the menu | 02:08 |
| Auke | erich: indeed, I change / add those if I want new entries in a menu | 02:08 |
| Auke | erich: however, this time I'd like to add a whole new menu | 02:09 |

| hazza96 | how do you set a different wallpaper for each workspace? | 02:15 |
| umarmung | hazza96, gnome can't do this, you have to install an app like wallpapoz | 02:16 |
| Pozac | ls | 02:16 |
| Pozac | duh | 02:16 |
| hazza96 | bugger | 02:17 |
| hazza96 | KDE can | 02:17 |
| hazza96 | :) | 02:17 |
| Pozac | Gnome is not a toy | 02:17 |
| hazza96 | lol | 02:17 |
| Pozac | You have to have a valid use for a computer to use Gnome. | 02:17 |
| Pozac | :) | 02:17 |
| scizzo | hazza96: actually..that is nautilus | 02:18 |
| hazza96 | huh? | 02:19 |
| scizzo | nautilus sets the wallpaper | 02:19 |
| hazza96 | oh | 02:19 |
| hazza96 | and what is nautilus? | 02:19 |
| Pozac | the crappy broken filemanager that sets the wallpaper | 02:20 |
| Pozac | :) | 02:20 |

| === Markrian [~Markrian@82-68-11-182.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| hazza96 | what else can you use on Ubuntu if Nautilus is so crappy | 02:21 |
| Pozac | Your computer will function without it. | 02:21 |

| Pozac | so do I | 02:21 |
| Pozac | yup | 02:21 |
| Pozac | it's gotten a lot better in the last couple of years | 02:21 |
| scizzo | Pozac: so why is it crappy? like you said? | 02:22 |
| hazza96 | (23:20:04) Pozac: the crappy broken filemanager that sets the wallpaper | 02:22 |
| Pozac | nonetheless it's the least crappy filemanager | 02:22 |
| Pozac | they all need a lot of stuff totally unrelated to file managing | 02:22 |
| Auke | "all file browsers suck, this one just sucks less" | 02:22 |
| hazza96 | why can't a new user run Synaptic but the original user can | 02:23 |
| scizzo | hazza96: because the first user has sudo rights | 02:23 |
| Pozac | edit /etc/sudoers | 02:23 |
| scizzo | hazza96: sudo visudo | 02:23 |
| Pozac | oh well | 02:24 |
| Auke | Pozac: make sure to use 'visudo' ;) | 02:24 |
| scizzo | Pozac: you need visudo for that | 02:24 |
| Pozac | scizzo: And here I've been nano -w'ing it always | 02:24 |
| Auke | I usually do something like %wheel: ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL | 02:24 |
| Pozac | gosh darn. | 02:24 |
| Pozac | Yeah, I do what Auke does too. | 02:24 |
| Pozac | So why do I need to use visudo? | 02:25 |
| Pozac | oh | 02:26 |
| Pozac | locking and stuff. Sorry for asking. | 02:26 |
| scizzo | Pozac: ls -l /etc/sudoers | 02:26 |

| Mabus | daniels: I don't know if you're interested or not, but with 2.6.10-rc3-mm1, XOrg refused to start, saying that it couldn't lock the ~/.Xauthority file. | 04:35 |
| Mabus | just a general FYI. | 04:35 |
| daniels | cef: yeah | 04:36 |

| mathieu__ | the device is mount | 04:38 |

| cef | daniels: hrm.. I just did an update, and the repo's still say -1ubuntu7 is the latest.. doh! | 04:39 |
| Pozac | mathieu__: Everything is a file or folder. You mount the floppy file (which is really the floppy drive) onto the main filesystem somewhere you can find it, and access the files on it this way. | 04:39 |
| mathieu__ | ok | 04:39 |

| Amroc | lamont you here yet? | 07:55 |
| Eagle101 | Xenguy: because now i can get to shell, but i cant even use the apt-get becasue it says that its corrupted and i have to use apt-get install -f , but stil that wont help | 07:56 |
| Xenguy | AFAIK, the 'apt-get dist-upgrade' command is only for moving to a new version (e.g. moving from Warty -> Hoary, or something similar)... | 07:56 |
| neighborlee | could someone do me a favor and try and install mplayer...I seem to have the right repositories in place but trying to install it gives me several dependency errors...( few of them are libartsc0 and libfribidi0 ) ?? | 07:57 |
| crimsun | Xenguy: it's used anytime packages need to be added and/or removed in addition to upgraded | 07:57 |
| Xenguy | Eagle101: If you want to make sure your Warty install is completely up-to-date, then something like this should work -> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 07:58 |
| Eagle101 | Xenguy: i think you are wrong, apt-get dist-upgrade is to update all the applications and sucn things to the latest version...doesnt have to do anything with hoary | 07:58 |
| ACIDnet | hmmm, i dont like Xchat's theme - whats a good colour combie? | 07:58 |
| Xenguy | Eagle101: maybe I am wrong -> see what crimsun said | 07:58 |
| crimsun | joaquinz: no, change your kernel config to make vesafb support as a module, then recompile | 07:58 |
| crimsun | Xenguy: no, what you said is mostly correct. | 07:59 |
| crimsun | (if one is an astute user, dist-upgrade is safe for daily use) | 07:59 |

| crimsun | Eagle101: what distro did you upgrade from? | 08:25 |

| nakee | joh: check your xorg.conf and see what's the module path | 08:30 |
| Xenguy | Eagle101: we need to find what package contains 'gnome panel'... | 08:30 |
| Eagle101 | Xenguy: can it also be because my friend gave me his sources.list and i copied them into my sources.list | 08:30 |
| jo | I tried to create an account on the ubuntu website using the join_form. But it keeps on loading until I get a timeout error. Any ideas? | 08:31 |
| Xenguy | Eagle101: maybe we should have a look at your /etc/apt/sources.list file? | 08:31 |
| crimsun | joh: known issue. It's fixed in 8 as of several hours ago. | 08:31 |
| neighborlee | in gnome how do I add a new menu item..i'm trying in nautilus > Applications:/// < but its not allowing me to choose type 'directory' from list ??? | 08:31 |

| tolstoy | neighborlee, good question. that feature seems to be gone from the latest hoary builds | 08:32 |
| Xenguy | Eagle101: how many files get listed when you do -> cd /etc/apt && ls -l sources* | 08:32 |
| neighborlee | tolstoy, lemme slap whomever made that decision < LOL | 08:33 |
| jo | crimsun, oh ok. And when will it be up again? | 08:33 |
| neighborlee | tolstoy, I suppose it was buggy then ;( | 08:33 |
| tolstoy | neighborlee, i added an "evolution" menu item when evo wasn't being added, now i have two! and "pan" disappeared. | 08:33 |
| Eagle101 | Xenguy: only one...sources.list | 08:33 |
| tolstoy | neighborlee, nautilus folks have a habit of just removing things by policy: like no right-click to get a terminal, no "extract", etc. | 08:34 |
| Xenguy | Eagle101: OK, backup that file first | 08:34 |
| joh | crimsun: auth portion? | 08:34 |
| Eagle101 | Xenguy: why you think it can be from the sources.list too? | 08:34 |
| crimsun | joh: no, read what I said about 8. The "auth portion" is directed to 'jo'. | 08:34 |
| jo | :-) | 08:34 |

| Xenguy | wasabi_: there is a tool called 'FAI' (fully automatic install)... | 08:45 |

| Xenguy | wasabi_: you have tried that tool? | 08:46 |
| wasabi_ | yes | 08:46 |
| Xenguy | wasabi_: what is the main reason it "sucks" (I am curious) ? | 08:46 |

How about package management, does it just use synaptic or does it have its own custom thi | 09:43 |
| flithm | ng? | 09:43 |
| roo9 | miggumike: don't install debian, just follow those intructions on your ubuntu machine | 09:43 |
| miggumike | ok cool | 09:43 |
| eruin | anyone know what "failed to load module "bitmap" and "pcidata"" when trying to start X after an upgrade to hoary might mean? | 09:43 |
| eruin | I've doublechecked xorg.conf (and deleted xf86conf) - the modules aren't mentioned anywhere | 09:44 |
| miggumike | roo9: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~ctwardy/mol-debian-benh.html | 09:44 |
| miggumike | can you check that out and see if it looks ok? | 09:44 |
| thenuke | flithm: well, because ubuntu is build on debian, it uses apt-get | 09:44 |
| thenuke | flithm: and synaptic is installed by default | 09:44 |
| === Xenguy [~gnu@xenarchy.ca] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| roo9 | miggumike: those instructions would be highly debian specific, since they only provide package instructions | 09:46 |
| flithm | thenuke: would you recommend ubuntu to someone who has never used linux before? or would you recommend another distro? I myself use another one, but I would never install it on her machine. | 09:46 |
| roo9 | though... you could just install from source | 09:46 |
| eruin | flithm: I would. | 09:46 |
| eruin | flithm: in my experience it's fairly easy to set up, and pretty much fool-proof once you're past the install | 09:46 |
| flithm | eruin: cool. do you use synaptic or just apt-get for package management? | 09:47 |
| roo9 | miggumike: if there are source .debs you could make your life much easier | 09:48 |
| roo9 | lemme check | 09:48 |
| roo9 | yeah, there are | 09:48 |
| miggumike | roo9 may i msg you? | 09:48 |
| roo9 | miggumike: sure | 09:48 |

| eruin | flithm: depends... for quickie installs or operations I know exactly what I need to do - I use apt-get, but synaptic for upgrades/new package selection | 09:48 |
| eruin | flithm: mostly because my first distro was debian ;-) | 09:49 |
| === x4m [~max@179.150-200-80.adsl.skynet.be] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| flithm | eruin: gotcha. thanks for the info | 09:49 |
| flithm | one last question... is ubuntu gnome only? | 09:50 |
| eruin | flithm: yeah, well, afaik they do provide kde packages, but the main dekstop scope (see apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop) is gnome | 09:50 |
| flithm | thanks | 09:51 |
| flithm | I exposed her to several wm's and she definitely preferred kde | 09:51 |
| eruin | the most kde-centric distro is Suse, I think | 09:52 |
| roo9 | is there a facility similar to http://packages.debian.org for ubuntu? | 09:52 |
| === neighborlee [~neighborl@pppoe1778.lax.centurytel.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| seb128 | flithm: there is kubuntu project | 09:52 |
| Riddell | eruin: mandrake, mepis, arklinux, xanderos, linspire and knoppix are also kde-centric | 09:53 |
| seb128 | flithm: kde in ubuntu | 09:53 |
| === fluoro_ [~bratsche@dsl093-053-083.blt1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| === smok [~richard@clyne.plus.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| neighborlee | whats best way to convert a avi file to svcd ? | 10:02 |

| jon1012 | hi :) | 10:08 |
| eruin | no idea how to _install_ ubuntu itself from the sources | 10:08 |
| roo9 | unperson: no, it's a small little adapter chip that plugs into the back of the SATA drive and gives you an IDE connection | 10:09 |
| frankps | sorry, but I am new to compiling linux kernels, how long does it take on a 1,4 GHz Pentium M? | 10:09 |
| eruin | but you could easily fetch all your packages and rebuild them from source using apt-get -b after you've installed | 10:09 |
| frankps | I have started compiling it | 10:09 |
| roo9 | frankps: 2-5 hours | 10:09 |
| jon1012 | I have a little problem, I have installed xorg from hoary and now the xorg server don't want to start it tells me that he can't find the module bitmap and pcidata :/ | 10:09 |
| eruin | provided you have the apt-src lines in sources.list | 10:09 |
| unperson | roo9, Ah, any idea the ballpark of what these things cost? | 10:09 |
| frankps | roo9: You are kidding? | 10:09 |
| roo9 | frankps: yes | 10:09 |
| eruin | jon1012: umm, try apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade plus apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 10:09 |

| frankps | roo9: Good | 10:10 |

| === Pozac [~Tabersvin@0x535ca783.esnxx5.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| scizzo | AFAIK is that the warty release is the latest build and that you have to use synaptic to update the kernel and such... | 11:09 |
| Ribs | is it possible to make it so that ubuntu keeps all the data already on the drive if I decide to re-install it? | 11:09 |
| Rhodan | damn ok, so i'm screwed | 11:09 |
| Ribs | ie. all stuff in /home | 11:09 |
| joaquinz | is there anyway to put a module in the initrd(like reiserfs module) and to load it at the boot time? | 11:10 |
| littlepenguin | Yes, ribs. Just go to the partitioner manually in the setup, edit the partition w/ home and set don't format. | 11:11 |

| joaquinz | littlepenguin : now, i have vesafb in my /etc/modules... but i need to load earlier... it is loading too late | 11:13 |

| littlepenguin | im not sure if u can work around that. maybe ask the guys on #kernel or the kernel mailing list | 11:20 |
| joaquinz | :( | 11:20 |
| joaquinz | ok thx u | 11:20 |
| tomchuk | joaquinz: just compile vesafb and framebuffer consle support into your kernel | 11:21 |

| littlepenguin | if you need kernel compiling hel, there's a whole thread on the lq forums (linuxquestions) | 11:21 |
