[12:00] tux_: suprnova down? that's bad news [12:00] ajmitch_: Such as https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/JUSNAnalysis https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/ProactiveSecurity https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4374 [12:00] yep but exeem is in the workings [12:00] bluefoxicy: aha [12:00] bluefoxicy: I just read some of those pages a few minutes ago :) [12:01] ajmitch_: There have been people working on security hardening Gentoo. Those efforts are also being focused on Debian by another project. They're also targetting Ubuntu [12:01] ajmitch_: I'm very interested in this stuff, so I've been watching them :) === |QuaD- [~QuaD@beac872-0b01-dhcp168.bu.edu] has joined #ubuntu [12:01] bluefoxicy: I'm interested in selinux integration work [12:02] <|QuaD-> selinux integration? [12:02] <|QuaD-> i thiunk i came in mid conversation [12:02] cocks [12:02] ajmitch_: I'm not really much interested in an enterprise-class SELinux policy, but I'm not opposed to it if it's done well enough that it doesn't put 5 more layers of visible cruft in front of the user === telemaco [~telemaco@84.77.60.66] has joined #ubuntu [12:03] ajmitch_: I think if there is an SELinux policy, there should at least be an option to give sysadmin_t role automagically if you su or login to root; of course, strictly speaking, this may not be the best idea (I am not an access control expert though). I'm very lazy though :) [12:04] I don't want to talk about access control; I have no experience with SE/GR/RSBAC/LIDS, nor formal training, so I have nothing interesting and insightful to offer. [12:04] even the strict policy allows direct transition to sysadm_t on login by root [12:04] interesting. [12:04] getting that working with sudo, su is more fun [12:04] ajmitch_: SE-X? [12:04] damn i cant login to the ubuntu site [12:04] speel: nor I [12:05] fedora core 3 has a targetted policy that just limits certain daemons [12:05] i forgot my pw and for some reason it times out when i try to reset it [12:05] SE-X is being worked on, afaik [12:05] ajmitch_: interesting [12:05] ajmitch_: I'm fairly certain that the most painful is going to be getting PaX integrated :) [12:06] if PaX is selected as the way to go === Wibbler [~Wibbler@cpc1-bolt3-3-0-cust240.mant.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu [12:06] it's easy enough, except it's ubiquitous and will break incompatible third party software [12:06] of course, the breakage rate is very very low [12:06] but it happens [12:06] but certain things like JVMs can hiccup on PaX :) [12:06] yes === gpled [~worker@66.178.144.24] has joined #ubuntu [12:07] ajmitch_: easy enough to fix with chpax (or paxctl if they have PT_PAX_FLAGS in them; pipacs said he could wire up paxctl to clobber the PT_GNU_STACK marking and alter the ELF header to change it to PT_PAX_FLAGS, since PT_GNU_STACK is useless under PaX) [12:07] i am trying to learn more about ubuntu. looking at inittab, it looks to me, that ubuntu starts at runlevel 2. is that correct? [12:08] gpled: yup === tvon|x31 [tvon@dsl093-119-225.blt1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has joined #ubuntu [12:08] ajmitch_: the problem is that some things that break under PaX are outside ubuntu's main distribution. [12:08] yup === TongMaster [~TongMaste@157.besecure.net.au] has joined #ubuntu [12:08] and if they work on other distros, people will blame ubuntu [12:08] Personally I think that since so few things actually have problems with PaX, that it'd be more rewarding to just enable full pax, hardmode, mark what breaks in Ubuntu's world, fix what you can, and let third party developers handle their own sih.t [12:09] We're talking something liek 20 out of several thousand packages [12:09] yeah === Wibbler [~Wibbler@cpc1-bolt3-3-0-cust240.mant.cable.ntl.com] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [12:09] heh [12:10] ajmitch_: I actually wrote to the Kaffe list and told them how to do a JVM functional under full PaX :) [12:10] http://www.kaffe.org/pipermail/kaffe/2004-October/099938.html There it is. === sivang [~sivang@80.179.82.41.forward.012.net.il] has joined #ubuntu === Wibbler [~Wibbler@cpc1-bolt3-3-0-cust240.mant.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu [12:12] ajmitch_: I think the first concern is going to be SSP though, not PaX.

[01:06] curvycom: hum... I use console + vim... but did you try webmin? [01:06] I never quite understood why services-admin was left out.

THis system is great tho, it does every thing I need on my laptop. I just thought a GUI based daemon manager might be a good learning tool for me. [01:08] hum, imho evolution has too much things, I like thunderbird (more simple) [01:08] thanks [01:08] while if you really must have a monolithic environment, you use the suite [01:08] <|QuaD-> eruin: yeah.... but i want my contacts integrated with my calendar, no?

[03:39] billytwowilly: what is it stuck on? [03:39] generally you can get scripts that hang when shutting down [03:39] if you want to -force- a reboot [03:39] just has "System is going down for a halt now!" Then nothing. [03:39] brb [03:39] oh... hrmm [03:39] billytwowilly: any bad messages in dmesg? [03:39] billytwowilly: also, sometimes, the shutdown messages show up on a different console [03:39] oh [03:40] it's nfs [03:40] so if you hit alt-f? it'll show up somewhere else [03:40] nfs not responding. [03:40] ah [03:40] so how do I force it to shutdown? [03:40] halt -whatgoeshere? [03:40] if you want to do a total immediate shutdown? [03:40] I want it to shut down... [03:40] Not wait for nfs server [03:41] Just turn itself off. [03:41] how come when i search for a file i know is there, it says it isnt? [03:41] billytwowilly, can you kill the nfs service? [03:41] /etc/init.d/reboot [03:41] well, kill the nfs stuff [03:41] I think that just reboots without doing anything [03:41] At least the one time I tried it. [03:41] Zotnix: that will leave all his filesytems dirty... [03:41] but yes, that will do it [03:41] if you want to shutdown instead of reboot immediately, you do a [03:42] poweroff -h -i -f [03:42] poweroff -h -d -i -f is better [03:42] actually [03:43] nothing is happening..

[04:11] Is it the font, or the default rendering system - since Warty's fonts look like slightly-better-than-average-Linux fonts, while Hoary's fonts look like Mac OS X fonts [04:12] thully, may be due to xorg? [04:12] at least on my laptops - desktops use different font rendering systems [04:12] yep i think so too [04:12] it's not due to xorg [04:12] and laptops and desktops both use freetype for font rendering [04:12] |QuaD|: a variety of services [04:12] <|QuaD|> bob2: care to expand on that? === raptor [~raptor@host59-149.sion.net] has joined #ubuntu === imka [~imi@chello080109076233.14.15.vie.surfer.at] has joined #ubuntu [04:14] Is it safe to enable the Universe repositories, install some packages, and then turn them off again? === mdke [~Matt|@mdke.user] has joined #ubuntu [04:15] any diff gods here?

[04:25] LLM: no, there is not [04:25] crap [04:26] so theres nothing i can do? [04:26] jlund: 1.0.4-6.2 === XLx [~mrx@68.205.62.69] has joined #ubuntu [04:26] LLM: it's really unlikely that it's anything other than you mistyping it, but you can boot into a shell and reset it if you want [04:26] bob2: sorry gtkhtml3.2 [04:26] how do i do that? [04:26] LLM: at the grub prompt, hit 'e', and add "init=/bin/bash" the end of the line, then boot [04:26] LLM: then run 'passwd your_user_name' [04:27] bob2: read man pages for unison, and this faq: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/faq.html and I still haven't found any working examples of how to do what I want to do: dir1 dir2 > take same files and diff files and make new dir3 [04:27] occy: ok. [04:27] ill try it [04:27] occy: it will make dir1 and dir2 into dir3 [04:27] occy: what if you just did this. ls -al > dir1.txt then ls -al > dir2.txt [04:27] occy: then just run diff dir1.txt dir2.txt [04:27] That will show you what is different [04:28] jlund: that's not what occy is trying to do [04:28] You would of course do the ls commands in the different directories [04:28] jlund: this should do things much easier than that. go check out unison, it looks really powerful. [04:28] he/she wants a 3-way merge [04:28] oh, sorry [04:28] he [04:28] :) [04:28] 3-way merge? scary :) [04:28] Lathiat_: heh [04:29] two way merges are hard enough :) [04:29] bob2: what is the latest gtkhtml3.2 - I show 3.2.3-0ubuntu1 as installed and with Universe turned on I see the latest as 3.2.3ubuntu1-1ubuntu1 [04:29] I've been trying to figure out why doesn't my PC power down on the shutdown... I've googled to no avail. I had other distros properly shutdown my machine (also power off) [04:29] any pointers ? [04:29] jlund: 3.2.3ubuntu1-1ubuntu1 [04:29] XLx: how old is it? [04:30] about 5 yrs.

[04:30] pressing "e" doesnt do anything [04:30] LLM: yep do that, (press esc) then press e [04:30] bob2: Do you have Universe enabled? [04:30] jlund: yes [04:30] I had other distros power off the PC before... [04:30] XLx: add 'apm' on it's own line to /etc/modules [04:31] Hm, well that makes it harder to troubleshoot === pepsi [~pepsi@p92.n-sfpop05.stsn.com] has joined #ubuntu [04:31] okie [04:31] I can do that [04:31] anything else ? [04:31] LLM: yes, after you hit esc, you hit e === ctd [~ctd@ctd.user] has joined #ubuntu [04:31] hhey ctd [04:32] bob2: so just do: unison dir1 dir2 === alka_trash [~homer@c-67-166-91-212.client.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu [] [04:33] and it'll create the 3rd dir for me automatically? [04:33] after i press esc, and then e, it then lists some things, like root, kernel etc [04:33] occy: I don't know, I've never used it [04:33] what now? [04:33] bob2: haha [04:33] bob2: ok [04:33] occy: no, 13:27:25 bob2 | occy: it will make dir1 and dir2 into dir3 [04:33] it wont let me type inti=/bin/bash [04:33] LLM: edit the kernel command line [04:33] bob2: I know this is frustrating but I'm trying to figure out of this is a bug. Can you turn off Universe and see what the latest libgtkhtml3.2 is? === natea [~natea@h000f66a887c6.ne.client2.attbi.com] has joined #ubuntu [04:33] jlund: I really really really really really doubt it's related to universe [04:34] jlund: you can check the package files on archive.ubuntu.com manually [04:34] Hm, well I'm clueless [04:34] ok, i just add it to the end? [04:34] LLM: of the command line? yes. [04:34] alright, now that ive done that..... [04:35] what next? [04:35] boot it [04:35] ah boot [04:35] i see === LLM reread the first instructions [04:35] jlund: with universe disabled, '3.2.3ubuntu1-1ubuntu1' === davide [~chatzilla@adsl-68-126-227-198.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net] has joined #ubuntu [04:36] so when i boot now, what will it do, or ask me to do? === FireEgl [Proteus848@adsl-17-157-96.bhm.bellsouth.net] has joined #Ubuntu [04:36] hello, i cannot get the wireless connection to work, can anyone help me? [04:37] Thanks Bob [04:37] jlund: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hoary/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz [04:37] At this point I think I should just start over [04:37] Is there a way to get a Hoary CD? [04:37] um, it just took me back to the login screen [04:37] how do i reset the password? [04:38] jlund: how would reinstalling help? [04:38] jlund: there are testing cds, but they may or may not work [04:38] LLM: you didn't enter the line correctly, try again [04:38] bob2: This just seems really messed up. I must have screwed something up along the way [04:39] bob2: Is it possible that I have a cache somewhere that I can flush? [04:39] I'm really new to apt-get [04:39] jlund: you do have a cache, which 'update' updates. [04:39] jlund: are you doing something silly like pinning? [04:39] bob2: You are da man ! [04:39] ok, this is what my command line says: [04:39] bob2: I don't know what pinning is so I'm guessing no [04:40] apm in /etc/modules works perfectly ! thanks bob2 for your wisdom... === Seq [~chris@CPE0050bf1a898b-CM013349902353.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu [04:40] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-3-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash [04:40] where do i add the init=/bin/bash [04:40] bob2: What is pinning? [04:40] LLM: yes, please read the bit I said about adding "init=/bin/bash" to the end of it [04:41] XLx: you're welcome [04:41] i did that the first time and it didnt work [04:41] jlund: a silly game you can play with apt [04:41] LLM: well, it's what you have to do [04:41] bob2, lol [04:41] jlund: paste your sources.list to #flood [04:41] does anybody know why gdesklets-data is being removed on a dist-upgrade in hoary but gdesklets itself is fine? (I'm assuming this is due to python 2.4) [04:42] bob2: pasted [04:42] am i supposed to add a space between splash and init=/bin/bash? [04:43] LLM: yes, of course [04:43] cuz thats what i did the first time :S [04:44] Seq: apt-cache show gdesklets-data, look at the Depends line [04:45] bob2: did you used to hang out in #debian a while back? [04:45] still do... [04:45] bob2: that rocks hard!!! [04:45] bob2: it worked just peachy [04:45] i think you helped me with bind or something like that a year ago. [04:45] bob2: thank you very much.

[04:49] moquist: it's not in ubuntu [04:49] moquist: wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats [04:49] jlund: paste the output of 'apt-cache policy mount' with and without universe enabled (don't forget to run 'apt-get update' after each twiddle) [04:49] LLM: it sounds an awful lot like you didn't create a user [04:50] bob2: right. I figured they were available somewhere, though... [04:50] moquist: read that page [04:50] im certain that i did, but anyway, if i didnt, how can i correct this? [04:50] *sigh* I would encode in Ogg/Vorbis, but this is for a non-tech crowd, and it's my responsibility to make it blindinly easy for them. Oh well. [04:51] bob2: yeah, I read it. Thanks for the link. Software Patents suck. [04:51] moquist: oh yes :/ [04:51] LLM: 'adduser whatever' to create the user 'whatever' === moquist will no longer be working for HP at the end of the month... :) (HP holds and encourages software patents) [04:52] k [04:52] wait, ive just typed in passwd root [04:52] hmm.. theres already an OS project called rosetta, go the naming [04:52] and it told me to enter new UNIX password [04:52] but it wont let me type anything :S [04:52] bob2: pasted [04:53] LLM: it doesn't print anything as you type [04:53] LLM: but that won't create a new user, nor let you login through gdm [04:53] oh wait, i think i did it [04:53] jlund: well, apt is sane, maybe synaptic has a bug [04:53] How can I just check the output of dist-upgrade [04:54] I will try that and see what happens [04:54] apt-get -s dist-upgrade [04:54] but you don't need to, look at what you just pasted [04:54] in both cases, apt sees only one version, which is the l one [04:55] oh duh. That's because I did upgrade that one [04:55] i'm getting an error trying to run a python program "ImportError: No module named GDK" [04:55] I will try the same with gtkhtml3.2 [04:55] anyone know where the Python::GDK module is in ubuntu? [04:55] roo9: the software's instructions should tell you to install python-gtk or so [04:56] bob2: gdk not gtk [04:56] yes, I know [04:56] python-gtk-1.2 is already installed... [04:57] in fact, GDK.py exists in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-1.2 [04:57] bob2: Pasted, and there are differences [04:57] it works === dsr [~fboyer@HSE-Montreal-ppp341369.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu [04:57] thanks alot bob2, and anyone else that helped me [04:58] jlund: er, yes, because gtkhtml3.2 is in universe === zenwhen [~zenwhen@host-216-78-81-156.bgk.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu [04:59] HAHAHAHAHA [04:59] jlund: thus, if you disable universe, you don't see the newer version (the /var/lib/dpjkg/status entry is fro mthe one you have installed at the moment) === Klowner_ [~klown@zorg-212-213.revealed.net] has joined #ubuntu [04:59] I wonder what installed that? [04:59] I swear I didn't install anything for Universe [04:59] nothing in main depends on stuff in universe [05:00] Is there a way to see what depends on gtkhtml3.2? [05:00] God I am such an idiot [05:00] apt-cache showpkg gtkhtml3.2 [05:00] whats up with the Debian menu? [05:01] it's not in ubuntu [05:01] uhm [05:01] well i see it [05:01] it shows more stuff [05:01] bob2: ubuntu doesn't want the debian menu aiui [05:01] aiui? [05:01] as i understand it [05:01] as I understand it [05:01] calc: I know [05:02] but it shows more stuff yo === jcompton [~intranet@c24.241.233.65.jvl.wi.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu [05:02] oh i meant to direct that to pepsi i guess :) [05:02] oh btw, whats with this x that stays on top of everything? [05:02] pepsi: huh? [05:02] bob2: Is there a way to revert to only main components without reinstalling? [05:02] the debian menu has more apps in it [05:02] jlund: you mean "is there a way to uninstall all the packaes from universe?"? [05:02] bob2: I realize what happened. I did a smart upgrade with Universe turned on and I think it installed the CVS Gnome [05:02] Yes [05:03] it has stuff i installed but never bothered to make a menu item for [05:03] jlund: no, unless synaptic is buggy [05:03] pepsi: installed via debs? [05:03] calc: with synaptic [05:03] pepsi: debian packages typically have menu entries for the debian menu [05:03] but not for the gnome menu [05:04] so of course the debian menu will show many more things than the gnome menu [05:04] I'm trying to get a very basic forum server set up, but I'm getting "unable to detect MySQL support in PHP" from the forum configuration program. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem, preferably from within the package manager? [05:04] okay, but if i get more stuff showing up in the debian menu, i want that [05:04] bob2: all of the output from apt-cache showpkg is gnome stuff [05:04] jlund: not core gnome stuff [05:04] hopefully the menu system will be common at some point between gnome, kde, debian systems [05:04] jcompton: install php4-mysql [05:04] ajmitch_: they're standardising on fd.o .desktop files [05:04] then i suppose id just rather be able to see the debian menu, like i am now able to [05:04] ajmitch_: gnome and kde are already merged for how the menu works [05:04] bob2: K well time for an adventure :) [05:05] the actual application.menu file isn't merged yet though [05:05] you dont have a debian menu showing? [05:05] in hoary [05:05] i don't [05:05] if you installed menu-xdg you might [05:05] calc: that's what I thought [05:05] kde adopted it for kde 3.2, and gnome did it in 2.9 [05:05] but I wasn't sure when debian was moving to that [05:05] ah, 2.9 [05:06] bob2: Not coming up as a valid package. All I've got is libapache2-mod-php4 (installed), php4-cgi (installed) and php4-dev (not installed.) === ajmitch_ knew one of them was a very recent change [05:06] jcompton: it's in universe === LLM [longlivema@d141-169-106.home.cgocable.net] has left #ubuntu [] [05:07] bob2: Is there a way to see packages that are installed on the system that are not listed in the current active repositories? [05:07] bob2: If so I think I can get this cleaned out [05:07] jlund: yes, 'obsolete packages' list in aptitude [05:07] maybe synaptic has something similar [05:08] dselect has obsolete list as well [05:09] There is an "Installed (local or obsolete)" listing === EricNeon [~ericneon@203.148.3.94] has joined #ubuntu [05:09] That sound right?

[06:16] jlund: you can use the k7 one, as the description says [06:16] hah, "up to slackware" [06:16] yea [06:17] Whats do u mean by "hah"? [06:17] not just slackware. [06:17] But otehr distros [06:17] just that slackware isn't a really good place to end up if you're not already a slackware user [06:17] well, where is? [06:17] if you want to learn hwo to compile stuff so you can use slackware, then just install it and ask for help in #slackware [06:17] debian or ubuntu are excellent advanced distributions [06:18] Gentoo is much better than Slackware if you want to mess with source [06:18] I used Gentoo for over a year before switching to Ubuntu this weekend [06:18] Yea, thats what I ahve hjeard [06:18] gentoo seems to be for people who want to compile stuff without knowing what they're doing [06:18] well jlund may i Pm you?

[06:57] yes. [06:57] If libsdl1.2debian and libsdl1.2debian-oss are both got green boxes next to them snynaptic it means there installed right? [06:57] granted, if it's from universe, chances are it's from sid's pool, and sid gets package fixes rather quickly. [06:57] (though not as quickly as woody or warty) [06:57] so in that case compiling from source would be the only option? [06:58] crimsun: ok so you can use unstable package? [06:58] (s [06:58] ) [06:59] not generally [06:59] crimsun: i think what he is asking is if it is fixed in sid, will the ubuntu team add the fixed package to universe [06:59] not for warty [06:59] for hoary, sometimes the fixed package is available in universe sooner than in sid [07:00] ok. so if i want to stay secure with unstable packages, i should subscribe to debian-security-announce to hear when there are vulnerabilities in unstable as well? [07:01] er, the first "unstable" should be "universe" [07:01] normally security announcements are prioritized for 'stable' packages [07:01] Alright. SDL seams to be installed. But I get this error when I try to install Eternal Lands. error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_net-1.2.so.0: [07:01] yea [07:01] if they happen to affect packages in 'unstable', too, then it's a note in the DSA [07:01] d-s-a doesn't have advisories for packages in sid [07:02] is the ubuntu team going to add more packages to the main branch then....cause it is rather limited at the moment [07:02] what crimsun said [07:02] ?

[07:03] thinking about switching to ubuntu [07:04] if it doesnt have the ubuntu symbol in synaptic, it is not in the main branch, right? [07:04] no idea, I don't use synaptic [07:07] ubuntu main is actually a good selection of apps [07:07] doesn't have all the little exotic things, but still it has a lot [07:07] missing useful stuff like clamav ;) [07:08] also gstreamer totem is about useless [07:08] due to patent issues [07:08] ok, here goes: abiword (i like it for small files as i am on a slow computer), digikam, gpdf, guarddog (i hate firestarter), kooka (xsane is confusing), a bunch of libraries needed for nvu to install, a bunch of libraries needed for mplayer to compile, xawtv, xmms-skins to name a few [07:08] patent issues that even an overzealous group like debian ignore [07:09] Gehh. >< apt-get install doesn't work. It doens't seam to be a normal pakage. [07:09] debian doesn't have a suable company [07:09] and we all know how overzealous debian-legal can be [07:09] Dko: "doesn't work"? [07:09] andrew: I built gtk2 emacs-cvs packages if you want them. A lot better on the eyes (without having to run it in gnome-terminal) [07:09] calc: no, debian-legal ignores patents almost entirely [07:09] and fhg is suing lots of mp3 decoder companies [07:09] ryanmcgregor: none of those seem support=critical [07:09] er, s/=/-/ [07:09] bob2: is that why most patented stuff isn't in debian like lame, ffmpeg, etc? [07:10] calc: mpeg-4 and mp3 are enforced patents [07:10] bob2: what about guarddog....or is updating iptables good enough? [07:10] calc: probably every single bit of software in main violates some patent [07:10] It basically says it can't find the package libsdl-net1.2 [07:10] mike_dougla1: no thanks, mike_dougla1. i'm not running ubuntu yet, just considering it. appreciate it. [07:10] Dko: it's in universe [07:10] ryanmcgregor: hm, what about it? [07:11] bob2: yes [07:11] and so what is ubuntu doing releasing software ;) [07:11] I just noticed warty-updates. [07:11] SHould I be using archive.u.c or security.u.c for it? [07:11] also does ubuntu disable the font hinting stuff in freetype or else apple might sue them ;) [07:11] whats universe? [07:11] its enabled in regular builds last time i checked [07:11] bob2: well it is a firewall, a security hole in a firewall seems serious to me [07:12] wasabi_: either [07:12] the hyperlink is also patented [07:12] so we're all doomed...

[07:37] i tried setting it up on a p200 w/ 16mb. ram and the installer just hung up [07:37] 16mb ram? [07:37] that amount of ram is way too low [07:37] yea 16 === ryanmcgregor [~chatzilla@S0106000c6ec62859.cg.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu [07:37] hmmm [07:38] well it runs windows 98 [07:38] what is on that computer now? [07:38] its capable of running an OS w/ a gui [07:38] 16? [07:38] iirc it should be possible to install with 16Mb of ram [07:38] you can do it with 16, but you must create swap as soon as parted udeb is loaded. [07:38] debian needs 32ish i think, ubuntu'd be similar probably; 64-128 would be safer [07:38] it is possible, I tested several weeks ago [07:38] techn9ne: you've got to setup swap BEFORE starting installation process. you've got to start installation in expert mode [07:38] im just really scared of hooking a windows98 computer into internet [07:38] shufla: do you know what i can do to get into the locked folders? [07:39] it's locking out my music and movies [07:39] I have a question. I am an idiot, and accidently deleted some files from a program I compiled...if I just recompile the program and issue make install, will it just overwrite any files that happen to be left over? [07:39] isn't using swap at that point horrifically slow? [07:39] the two things i want [07:39] miggumike: ok, i know. but i tell you how to access information, not solution :d [07:40] =) [07:40] miggumike: well, type man mount and find section with hfs. there's option, which allows you to change permissions of mounted drive. it will be `umask' or similiar. you may set umask to 000 and then there'll be read/write access to ALL users [07:40] ryanmcgregor : yes im pretty sure it will [07:40] miggumike: you've got to type that umask in option field in /etc/fstab, then umount & mount /mnt [07:40] techn9ne: thx....ill run and do that, just wanted to make sure before i made the problem worse :P [07:40] has any one ever got flashmx to work w/ wine? [07:40] ive been trying everything and it wont work [07:40] ok i'll give it a shot [07:41] techn9ne: on this 16mb ram machine? :D [07:41] lol no... this one im on has 512 [07:42] i was running the 16mb. ram machine earlier... was PAINFUL slow [07:42] hd sounded like it was having a heart attack [07:43] techn9ne: well. i'm working right now on pii 400 @ 64MB ram and slow disk. it's painful... i suppose, that 16mb will be worse, unusable... (with X...) [07:43] gnome or xfe? [07:43] i figured if it ran win98 i could run xfe on it [07:44] only thing i can find is hpfs [07:44] techn9ne: gnome right now. but i've got to develop SQL-mini-app here, horrible :D [07:45] gnome seems much faster than kde [07:47] i have a suse machine too and seems kinda clunky [07:48] huh [07:48] the problem is with so many diffrent libraries for any application: firefox - own, openoffice - own, gnome - own, k3b - own :D [07:48] even half gig of ram is nor enough :/ [07:49] kde has good intergration w/ kde apps [07:49] firefox didnt run well on it [07:49] indeed [07:50] suse 9.2 is the nicest looking linux desktop i have ever seen though === siimo [~siimo@60-234-129-100.bitstream.orcon.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu [07:50] techn9ne: when it will be avaiable for free? like 9.1 with tricky, but possibile installation?

[07:56] but they need set of not needed libs, that aren't need for gnome (and areN'T supported by ubuntu:() [07:57] indeed they're not.

[04:45] (I think any 2.6 kernel does.)

[05:16] No. [05:16] bur[n] er i dont know how to install my windows games in linux as it does not run automatically and when i click on the setup file it gives error message [05:16] rjek, maybe i should try a 2.4 kernel [05:16] anir: cedega setup.exe [05:16] or 'wine setup.exe' [05:16] if anyone here is against (unlimited) software patents, you can sign this open letter (read it first! ;) [05:16] http://demo.ffii.org/support.php [05:17] cedega costs money? === khwarizmi [~krischan@p5090A9F5.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu [05:17] Sign up for a TransGaming subscription at 5 USD, 5 EUR, or 3 GBP per month, with a minimum three-month payment [05:17] $15 [05:17] not a ton [05:17] Allowing software patents is consistant with the rest of patent law.

[07:59] riffic: but i don't know how to fix it (since i haven't really checked.) [08:00] ogra: i have checked all universe.. [08:01] Can I use cvs with a http proxy? [08:01] anir: you need marillat...... the synaptic howto describes how to add it === orospakr [~orospakr@ip-12.83.126.206.dsl-cust.ca.inter.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:01] okay I'm looking at a forum post about it now [08:01] but ack this hurts my eyes === zloy [~zloy@195.128.178.150] has left #ubuntu [""] [08:04] ogra:... i am still finding... === dasdas [dasdas@tkp-ip-nas-1-p87.telkom-ipnet.co.za] has joined #ubuntu [08:05] is it a respository? ogra [08:05] hi [08:05] anir: you need to add the marillat repository to synaptic [08:06] anir: the data you need for this is on the restricted format page [08:06] i installed ubuntu - i wiped out an entire hard disk and installed it. [08:06] anir: the description how to add repositorys to synaptic is in the synaptic howto [08:06] when i decided to clean it - format the entire hard disk and run and install windows again, it gives the error message: [08:06] GRUB loading, please wait ...

[08:09] dasdas: you're the second person to complain about this [08:09] dasdas: use a live cd... and run 'grub-install /dev/hda' [08:09] dasdas: if you don't have a live CD, you can use the installer CD [08:10] after selecting your language, you can press cancel to go to the main menu of installation options [08:10] dasdas, but it's a problem of microsoft, not ubuntu ;) [08:10] ubuntu installs well ;) === hob1 [~mg@chello212186102075.10.11.vie.surfer.at] has joined #ubuntu [08:10] hi everyone! === moriddin [moriddin@bzq-198-219.red.bezeqint.net] has joined #ubuntu [08:10] it's a microsoft problem? [08:11] with the right combination of options you can get it to the point where it wants you to install a bootloader (you don't have to reinstall) [08:11] odd [08:11] hi again people [08:11] anyway... bbl [08:11] uhm... ive just installed windows xp and i dont know how to run ubuntu [08:11] dasdas: and you can choose lilo, which I find works better [08:11] how do i run ubuntu now? [08:11] moriddin: you'll need to get your bootloader back into the MBR [08:11] moriddin, installing grub [08:11] whats an MBR? [08:11] im a bloody ubuntu-starter, and event though i love it right away, there are still some sore points with my system, like does anyone know howto import my mail-stuff from thebat! ? [08:12] moriddin: in much the same way I described for dasdas [08:12] moriddin: master boot record [08:12] master boot record [08:12] moriddin: windows over writes it [08:12] master boot record? whats that :/ [08:12] in the setup screen? [08:12] hob1, i don't know "the bat" [08:12] ogra..no [08:12] moriddin: it's what a PC uses to boot an operating system [08:12] ogra: i am tried [08:12] ok and how to i modify that? [08:12] do* [08:12] davyd, exactly, a hard disk, not a pc [08:12] anir: no ? [08:13] ogra: i am tired.. could not find.. [08:13] trukulo: only PCs use MBRs so it's valid [08:13] but you're ok for newbies [08:13] davyd how do i modify that? [08:13] davyd, i disagree, a mac use it too [08:13] moriddin: you'll need to reinstall the GRUB/lilo boot loader [08:13] anir: what ? how to add repos ? [08:13] trukulo: they use open firmware [08:13] anir: or marillat ? [08:13] whats the grub/lilo boot loader? [08:13] trukulo: except for the older stuff, which boots straight into the System folder [08:14] davyd, umm, i'm not sure, i'll believe you [08:14] is it in the ubuntu CD rom? [08:14] moriddin: it's a piece of software that resides in the mbr, you can install it from the CD rom [08:14] um ok, i install it through windows then? [08:14] if you boot the installer CD and select your lanaguage and then press cancel you well get the main install menu [08:14] ogra: marillat [08:14] moriddin: no [08:15] moriddin: once you have the main install menu, you need to do things like detect your hardware, and perhaps some other things, then it will offer you the option of installing the boot loader [08:15] anir: its in the middle of the resricted formats page [08:15] moriddin: you don't need to reinstall [08:15] trukulo: when you're next on a mac, press Ctrl-Apple-O-F [08:15] sorry, just got my tea.. [08:15] (I think that's the right combo) [08:15] this is very serious stuff [08:15] davyd: i should boot from the ubuntu cd, then choose language, then cancel installation, and then redetect my hardware and all that stuff? [08:15] davyd, i'll do, thanks === chris_ [~convertor@CPE-144-137-219-138.sa.bigpond.net.au] has joined #ubuntu [08:15] trukulo: you'll be thrown into open firmware [08:15] the bat, a mail-programme for win (and maybe linux?) [08:15] i don't know precisely how to solve this problem === skyrider [~skyrider@kid.stu.cn.ua] has left #ubuntu [] [08:16] moriddin: yeah, I forget the exact order of options you need [08:16] davyd: does that mean re-configuring my internet connection too? [08:16] dasdas: if you follow a similar method to moriddin, you should get the option to install the lilo bootloader [08:16] moriddin: shouldn't do [08:16] dasdas: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q166454/ [08:17] davyd: ok. now lets say i;d like to boot windows sometime later on, how do i do that? [08:17] moriddin: I think you just need to run the detect hardware step, and then it will offer the bootloader step [08:17] moriddin: you can add it to the list in GRUB [08:17] or lilo [08:17] so i was using this mail-programme, THE BAT, and maybe some of u knwo how to import my mails and folder to evolution..? [08:17] the setup files have examples for doign it [08:17] davyd: and how do i see that list? [08:17] moriddin: it's either /etc/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf depending on which you're using [08:18] davyd: alright.. so if i add windows to the grub/lilo, then ill be able to choose an operating system when i boot my comp? [08:18] GRUB can boot many operating systems, which is why it's useful, unlike say the Windows bootloader which can boot windows [08:18] moriddin: yes === s0cks [~s0cks@s0cks.user] has left #ubuntu ["Will] [08:18] I personally only have mine offer if I hold down shift when booting [08:18] hob1, http://www.mepis.org/node/view/845 [08:18] else it boots straight into linux [08:18] read that [08:18] orgo: help me [08:19] davyd: ok thanks man :) im gonna boot ubuntu now and try that [08:19] and I am going to bed [08:19] it's 3.20am [08:19] anir: you understood how to add a repo in synaptic ?

[11:47] apt-get and semi-porn [11:47] a 16 mb stage 1 gentoo install cd will do the trick [11:48] or a floppy if you still got the drive [11:48] yes i have a floppy drive [11:48] would i always have to boot with a floppy now, or it will create a new boot record like before?

[11:50] noob: you dont need boot disk [11:50] noob: at least you shouldn't..just boot with livecd and use 'rescue' mode [11:50] he hasn't got the livecd [11:50] noob: once there you re-run lilo and install it to your harddrive MBR [11:50] ok [11:50] Pozac, easier if he just grabs it and uses it [11:50] neighborlee: no lilo on ubuntu [11:50] than i think ill wait to have back my cd [11:51] ill ask it back , ghope to have it soon, i had some new stuff to try and learn :) === violajack [~Michelle@roc-69-201-84-72.rochester.rr.com] has left #ubuntu [] [11:51] ogra: sorry:(i'mi thinking of mdk === neighborlee has too many LOL === f [~dagron@h182n2fls33o817.telia.com] has joined #Ubuntu [11:51] noob: okay grub then LOL [11:51] hey folks === f is now known as dagron [11:52] ogra: i presume livecd has rescue mode for him to fix this righth ? [11:52] : do you know how i could do it with a floppy? [11:52] I wonder why grub was chosen.. I find lilo much better [11:52] hey f [11:52] neighborlee: nope.... not this release i think [11:52] ditto..I find lilo easier actually..grub is confusing LOL [11:52] ogra: k thx [11:52] noob: then you do not want livecd [11:52] Ok, but when i'll have my cd back, what do i do, only put it in, boot on cd and thats it [11:52] Pozac: because you cant edit your lilo.conf brfore booting.... with grub xou can ;) [11:52] using grub from a floppy is pretty easy [11:53] noob: unless you want to show off ubuntu to friend then by all means!! [11:53] what is livecd, is it my ubuntu cd? [11:53] noob: special cd that runs from cd and doesn't require installation [11:53] noob: not recommended but for on the move and showing off to converts [11:53] it's not my ubuntu cd? [11:53] no [11:53] lol, sorry, im a bit mixed up :) [11:53] noob: no biggie [11:54] ogra, true.. I only use it to correct the drive (stupid naming system) :) [11:54] there is a LiveCD and an install-cd. LiveCD is only the preview of what it will be like when it's newly installed. === Blackwell [qwd@d041167.adsl.hansenet.de] has joined #ubuntu [11:55] ok, but can I use my ubuntu install cd to create a new boot record? [11:55] like Knopix. you don't have to install Ubuntu to run the livecd. [11:55] or i have to use a liveCd [11:55] if so, ill try to find a livecd cause i dont have one [11:55] i only have the ubuntu install cd [11:55] I have seriosly no idea. how can you have trouble with ubuntu? [11:55] Can't he just chroot into his old system and run that grub? [11:55] that would be totally easy [11:55] noob: I've done it before but with FC cd [11:56] sweet. [11:56] noob: knooppix may work dunno...but I know FC cd works by going into whats called 'rescue mode' [11:56] dagron, i dont really have prob, i reinstall win xp on my primary hd, and it kill my boot record , so now i cant boot on my sec. hd [11:56] that sucks dude :S [11:56] yrp [11:56] i really dont know how to do this [11:57] noob: for that you only need disk#1 of FC..as I say knoppix may do it I dont know...but I know FC does... [11:57] format /dev/hda2 ? [11:57] noob, you could try the ubuntu install cd i guess. But be careful :) [11:57] noob, otherwise any live cd will do: knoppix, gnoppix, gentoo etc [11:57] mdke, yep that what i thoug, but i hope not to erase my linux [11:58] damn microsoft windows :P [11:58] noob, kill windows [11:58] lol :P [11:58] you don't need it [11:58] i need for work [11:58] ;) [11:58] noob: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/iso/ < go there and get : FC3-i386-disc1.iso and burn it to a cd..reboot and go into rescue mode and then run: grub-install hda ( if wrong someone correct me) [11:58] Autocad and 3d software [11:58] :) [11:58] i wonder about the design or rather changes that ubuntu does to debian. i am looking for a way to "sanely" get a debian desktop "configuration" done without wading head to toe through what debian folks may consider initiation rites. :) [11:59] How good do you guys consider Fedora?
