| Blackwell | ogra: so it would seem. but the same may apply to knoppix. however...the #debian folks seem to think that knoppix is not debian. i am afraid that ubuntu may spark the same level of not-welcomness. | 12:00 |

| sjoerd | Quest-Master: a channels doesn't hate anything, maybe some people on the channel do | 12:02 |
| Blackwell | so, there aren't any major stray-aways in ubuntu in comparison to debian, are there? nothing that would make debian folks groan and roll their eyes at? | 12:02 |
| Quest-Master | Not really. | 12:02 |
| noob | hey guys, since there are more people on #debian, do you think i could ask if anyone has already re-create a boot record from the ubuntu install cd? | 12:02 |
| Blackwell | Quest-Master: excellent news, thank you. | 12:02 |
| ogra | Blackwell: the company behind ubuntu has some of the most imoportant debian devs employed....they make sure all changes go back to debian | 12:02 |
| Blackwell | noob: try. report the reaction please. ;) | 12:02 |
| Quest-Master | :) | 12:02 |
| noob | i shouldnt do that ? :) | 12:03 |

| Pozac | noob, yeah, the process is basically the same.. :) | 12:03 |

| mdke | this is a free network | 12:03 |

| zenwhen | ? | 12:36 |
| stuNNed_ | ogra, not sure if i'm using that or not, haven't manually enabled it. | 12:36 |
| jdub | rwabel: do it again, and save your session as you log out | 12:36 |
| jdub | stuNNed_: no strong ideas, no | 12:36 |
| ogra | stuNNed_: it draws shadows around your windows and you have to enable it ..... | 12:37 |
| stuNNed_ | ogra, then no | 12:37 |
| rwabel | judb: thanks | 12:37 |

| Marble2 | i have | 12:38 |
| stuNNed_ | ogra, yes | 12:38 |
| stuNNed_ | ogra, using what's in ubuntu unstable | 12:38 |
| stuNNed_ | ogra, which is not latest afaik | 12:38 |
| zenwhen | Do OTHER video apps exhibit this issue? | 12:38 |
| Pozac | Marble2, hmm.. do you have the sound server enabled? | 12:38 |
| Pozac | I again recommend totem-xine. | 12:39 |
| Marble2 | i'll try totem-xine | 12:39 |
| zenwhen | Check Settings -> preferences and make sure "Use spdif when available" isnt checked as well. | 12:39 |
| Pozac | xmms is like winamp in the old days, and totem-xine is like a good edition of the classic windows media player :) | 12:39 |
| zenwhen | under Audio. | 12:39 |
| zenwhen | Gxine is good as well. | 12:39 |
| Pozac | BEFORE everyone had to live off writing media players :( | 12:39 |
| Marble2 | i just unchecked it zenwhen | 12:40 |
| Marble2 | still no audio | 12:40 |
| zenwhen | damn | 12:40 |
| Pozac | try running vlc from a terminal and see if it shows errors | 12:40 |

| === Marianitu is away: zzzzz zzz | ||

| tha_game|away | macewan, hrm, I haven't tried it myself but I will be trying it soon, pci should be no problem... | 01:46 |
| fender | if you got to dvdrip's website it needs 10 or more dependencies including mplayer. | 01:47 |
| tha_game|away | fender, and ubuntu/debian doesn't have all the binary dependencies? | 01:47 |

| kergan | its debian package based | 02:46 |
| imka | Crane, fortunately: no | 02:46 |
| Crane | fortunately? | 02:46 |
| kergan | it uses apt-get | 02:46 |
| kergan | and you dont get that with rpms | 02:46 |
| imka | i know it's offtopic, but who wants gmail? i got 8 invites left | 02:46 |

| Gwildor | LostMonk, i dropped my windose install without ANY linux expierience.......ubuntu makes it pretty easy | 03:04 |

| kergan | LostMonk, linux is a much more mature os as comparied to win | 03:04 |
| bob2 | DagaZ: thanks :) | 03:04 |
| Adrenal | AAARGGHHH | 03:04 |
| kergan | windows likes to hold your hand | 03:04 |
| Adrenal | yeh | 03:04 |
| Adrenal | the only way to learn linux is to get rid of window | 03:04 |
| Adrenal | shred the cd | 03:04 |
| Adrenal | delete the partition | 03:04 |
| LostMonk | what about some word docs that i have, is there gonna be anyway to transfer them over to linux? | 03:04 |
| bob2 | you don't normally need to install drivers under linux | 03:04 |
| Adrenal | if u have the oppurtuntiy to go back | 03:05 |
| Adrenal | u will | 03:05 |
| Adrenal | and you won't learn | 03:05 |
| kergan | LostMonk, openoffice will read any doc you throw at it | 03:05 |
| bob2 | Adrenal: lots of people choose linux over windows on it's merits, rather than because they have to | 03:05 |
| bob2 | LostMonk: openoffice can read msot any word document | 03:05 |
| Gwildor | LostMonk, open office, itll open your text doc's | 03:05 |
| kergan | and mso documents | 03:05 |
| LostMonk | ok | 03:05 |
| scoon | LostMonk, listen, download the live ubuntu disc | 03:06 |
| kergan | trust use | 03:06 |
| kergan | us | 03:06 |
| LostMonk | now, will ubuntu configure my cable hook up automatically? | 03:06 |
| kergan | ubuntu makes it really easy | 03:06 |
| Gwildor | LostMonk, if you want to be 100% sure you will still be able to read your doc's, you can install open office in windows, and try to open them all | 03:06 |
| scoon | and see if open office works they way you like it. | 03:06 |
| Gwildor | LostMonk, it did for me | 03:06 |
| bob2 | LostMonk: depends how it's setup | 03:06 |
| bob2 | LostMonk: if your cable modem hands out dhcp, yes | 03:06 |
| LostMonk | i dunno what it does | 03:06 |
| LostMonk | :P | 03:06 |
| mike998 | It's probably DHCP then | 03:07 |
| kergan | do you have to login like a 56k dial up | 03:07 |
| kergan | ?? | 03:07 |
| LostMonk | nope | 03:07 |
| kergan | then its dhcp | 03:07 |
| LostMonk | i just open the browser | 03:07 |
| kergan | and its n/p then | 03:07 |
| Blackwell | LostMonk: hm, check the nick completion, you seem to use my nick accidentally. | 03:07 |
| LostMonk | what about irc? | 03:07 |
| kergan | xchat | 03:07 |
| LostMonk | i did Blackwell, sorry | 03:07 |
| kergan | is for irc | 03:07 |
| LostMonk | should i get that and a few other things before i convert? | 03:08 |

| Crane | I'm in ubuntu and a clan channel | 03:21 |
| kergan | ya LostMonk you can | 03:21 |
| Gwildor | LostMonk, xchat is available for windows, if you want to try that first, as well | 03:21 |
| Crane | ubuntu shows 293 users | 03:21 |
| LostMonk | nah, ill figure it out once i install | 03:21 |
| Gwildor | kk :) | 03:21 |
| cef | LostMonk: New -> Server Tab | 03:21 |
| kergan | yep | 03:21 |
| LostMonk | thats how i learned mIRC | 03:21 |
| kergan | just like that | 03:21 |
| mike998 | LostMonk: The advice to try some of these apps in windows first is a really good idea. | 03:22 |
| kergan | LostMonk, ya thats the way just play with it till its broke then you know how it works | 03:22 |
| LostMonk | now, if i have issues getting online once i switch, what should i do? | 03:22 |
| kergan | lol | 03:22 |
| mike998 | I use XP at work (I have to) but I use Gimp and gaim and opeonoffice | 03:22 |
| kergan | LostMonk, you shouldent have any probs | 03:22 |
| LostMonk | i have trillian pro for windows | 03:22 |

| LostMonk | pay? | 03:23 |
| mike998 | ah | 03:23 |
| cef | LostMonk: always a good idea to figure out what you use to connect to things first.. eg: dsl/cable/dial-up | 03:23 |
| Crane | is this your first time with linux Monk | 03:23 |
| Crane | ? | 03:23 |
| LostMonk | everytime i have reloaded windows, its autodone everything with the cable | 03:23 |

| cef | LostMonk: you're on cable? dhcp and the like? no special program to log you in or anything? | 03:24 |
| mike998 | miggumike take a look at your /etc/fstab file | 03:24 |
| LostMonk | icable | 03:24 |

| kergan | after thats done do a sudo mount -a so you dont have to reboot | 03:34 |

| mike998 | actually if I were you I would actually create a mount point (the /share directory in my case) | 03:34 |
| cef | miggumike: umask is the reverse of permissions so a umask of 000 = chmod 777, umask of 022 = chmod 755, etc. | 03:34 |
| kergan | or /mnt/share | 03:34 |

| _jon_ | longhorn is the next release of windows | 03:57 |

| Marble2 | what's longhorn | 03:57 |
| mike998 | wont be out till 2006-2007ish | 03:57 |
| === _jon_ is happy with his linux/bsd/macos | ||
| kergan | late 2007 is my guess | 03:58 |
| Crane | Marble2: you still here | 03:58 |
| Crane | ? | 03:58 |
| Marble2 | yea | 03:58 |
| === Marble2 is now known as Marble | ||
| Blackwell | what's there to try about longhorn? i don't understand the hype. | 03:58 |
| === Marble is now known as Marble2 | ||
| Crane | all commands are stored in a file in you home directory | 03:58 |
| Blackwell | it's just another windows, get over it. "there are no silver bullets." | 03:58 |
| socomm | Windows? | 03:58 |
| Marble2 | wha file? | 03:59 |
| mike998 | it's gonna be the same old same old | 03:59 |
| Crane | /home/your_directory/.bash_history | 03:59 |
| socomm | http://www.lemis.com/~grog/windows.html | 03:59 |
| mike998 | billy gives the consumers crap and they close their eyes and swallow it | 03:59 |
| Crane | I think by default it stores only the last 500 commands | 03:59 |
| _jon_ | does anybody have a radeon 9200 who's running warty? | 03:59 |
| Marble2 | thanks crane | 04:00 |
| Marble2 | how do I change it | 04:00 |
| Marble2 | from 500? | 04:00 |
| socomm | So longhorn is the next release of X Windows? | 04:00 |
| Crane | no prob | 04:00 |
| _jon_ | socomm: no M$ windows | 04:00 |
| rolfzor | socomm: no, microsoft windows | 04:00 |
| _jon_ | beat you rolfzor | 04:00 |
| Blackwell | mike998: i love my xp. but i will probably never understand the version junkies, whatever os they may prefer. | 04:00 |
| rolfzor | _jon_ :) | 04:00 |
| mike998 | Blackwell: I do actually understand it, and sometimes I am guilty of it | 04:01 |
| rolfzor | Blackwell: last time I installed xp I got spyware before the installation was finished :) | 04:01 |
| Crane | umm hang on I checking | 04:01 |
| Marble2 | ok | 04:01 |
| mike998 | rolfzor: I have heard that many times... were you firewalled? | 04:01 |
| Marble2 | what if it's root? | 04:01 |
| Marble2 | there is no home directory for that | 04:02 |
| Blackwell | rolfzor: yeah, you have to know what you are doing. besides, some people consider xp contacting time.microsoft.com a proof for spyware in xp. | 04:02 |
| Blackwell | <tongue in cheek> | 04:02 |
| _jon_ | Marble2: the home directory for root is /root/ | 04:02 |
| Marble2 | thanks | 04:03 |
| Crane | Marble2: not real sure, type env in your console for a list of veriables | 04:03 |
| Crane | you should see one called HISTFILE= | 04:03 |
| Crane | That is how many commands can be stored | 04:03 |
| Crane | Mine is set at 10000 | 04:03 |

| Hikaru79 | Any ideas? =/ I've tried reading the manual, but the manual's all about mIRC and I'm on X-Chat >> | 04:24 |
| kergan | Hikaru79, conver that manuel to xchat and see what happends | 04:24 |

| Hikaru79 | There's no "user name" field, although there is a "Real Name" field, and I changed that to 'adrian' which is all lower-case | 04:26 |
| kergan | and open it in xmms | 04:26 |
| Quest-Master | Without downloading them, or opening a new XMMS instance | 04:26 |
| Quest-Master | Just directly in Firefox. | 04:26 |

| PD | But I want sound | 04:56 |
| aeruder | PD: the first thing is to fire up a console... try cat /dev/dsp > /dev/null | 04:57 |
| PD | it only says pd when I run groups | 04:57 |
| aeruder | what error does it give you ? | 04:57 |
| aeruder | ah, permission denied then :) | 04:57 |
| PD | It says permission denied | 04:57 |
| crimsun | sudo adduser pd audio | 04:58 |
| aeruder | yea, you need to open /etc/group | 04:58 |
| aeruder | er, yea, i guess adduser can do it too :) | 04:58 |
| aeruder | i always forget about that, heh | 04:58 |
| crimsun | then you need to log out and back in | 04:58 |
| PD | ok let me try it | 04:58 |
| aeruder | PD: while you are at it | 04:58 |
| aeruder | do a adduser pd cdrom | 04:59 |
| aeruder | adduser pd floppy | 04:59 |
| aeruder | adduser pd video | 04:59 |
| aeruder | that should be good for most of the common things | 04:59 |
| PD | Okei I'll log out and come back innnn | 05:00 |
| paulproteus | aeruder: You should advise him to use the GUI tool available in Computer -> System configuration -> Users and Groups | 05:03 |
| === holycow [~yada@S0106002078ccd651.vf.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| aeruder | paulproteus: why? | 05:03 |
| paulproteus | That way, he'll become acquainted with the GUI tools if he prefers them. | 05:03 |
| aeruder | and if he doesn't? | 05:03 |
| paulproteus | Maybe "advise him to" is too strong; but point him to it as well, at least. | 05:04 |
| aeruder | paulproteus: if he had asked how to open a console, i'd have thought about teaching him the gnome-specific way | 05:04 |
| aeruder | not that i would even know the gnome-specific way :) | 05:04 |
| paulproteus | There are a lot of new Linux users I've been talking to who want more GUI tools to do things, even if there's a command-line available. | 05:04 |
| aeruder | paulproteus: but in general, the adduser method will work on all distros and perhaps on other os's | 05:04 |
| === jam3s [500@cpe-66-25-254-156.gt.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| aeruder | paulproteus: and then cripple them when they have to do something with command line? | 05:05 |
| aeruder | paulproteus: a little command line never hurt anyone ;) | 05:05 |
| calc | x is just meant to be a way to run more xterms | 05:05 |
| aeruder | calc: thank you! | 05:05 |
| aeruder | heh | 05:05 |
| calc | :) | 05:05 |
| paulproteus | calc: That's not how lots of users see GNU/Linux, though I do have that position sometimes. | 05:05 |
| === cendrizzi [~cendrizzi@endrizzi.dsl.xmission.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| paulproteus | Basically, this is the big advantage of Ubuntu over most other distros: Well-integrated GUI tools. | 05:06 |
| calc | if dos wasn't a pos the same would be of windows | 05:06 |
| cendrizzi | Hi all, anyone use the ati drivers? | 05:06 |
| aeruder | paulproteus: that's not how many see it, but at the same time i don't see the point on teaching a user how to do it the "GNOME" way | 05:06 |
| === PD [~pd@203.109.86.7] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| aeruder | and then when they try XFCE they have to fire up gnome to add people to groups | 05:06 |
| PD | thanks guys its working now | 05:06 |
| paulproteus | aeruder: So they can feel less like, "Linux is a frustrating experience." | 05:06 |
| cendrizzi | I'm trying to setup laptop mode | 05:06 |
| aeruder | or when they try a different distro, they are screwed | 05:06 |
| calc | gui's are slower than console for most things, of course word processing, web browsing are useful to have a gui | 05:06 |
| aeruder | PD: was that in any way frustrating? | 05:06 |
| aeruder | hehe | 05:06 |
| PD | nope that was a cake walk | 05:07 |
| aeruder | PD: you're starting a flamewar ;) | 05:07 |
| calc | unless you like typing docbook directly in vim ;) | 05:07 |
| paulproteus | (PD: As an aside, you can do this from the GUI, too: Computer -> System settings -> Users and Groups.) | 05:07 |
| Xenguy | aeruder: maybe *for some people*, the GUI is a path to the CLI ? | 05:07 |
| kergan | Xenguy, i agree | 05:07 |
| cendrizzi | anyone? ati drivers? Hopefully on a laptop? | 05:07 |
| Xenguy | kergan: some people will *never* take to the CLI (altho I'm not really sure why that is) | 05:07 |
| PD | I tried installing ubuntu on my friendslaptop but it crashed | 05:07 |
| kergan | i used the gui then started using the cli casue it was more powerfull | 05:07 |
| aeruder | Xenguy: *perhaps*... however, with many system conf issues with gui's, they are different from distro to distro, not to mention they are different from desktop to desktop, and then they are different from version to version | 05:08 |
| aeruder | so why not teach people the way that will stick around? | 05:08 |
| calc | i use the regular x.org driver for my 9600 but thats also because there is no amd64 driver at all for it | 05:08 |
| Crane | hey guys, got to go | 05:08 |
| PD | I tried stoppoing services an all that, finally I gave up | 05:08 |
| Crane | I'll swing in tomorrow night | 05:08 |
| Xenguy | aeruder: sure, which is why learning the 'low-level' tools is best ;-) | 05:08 |
| Crane | later | 05:08 |
| paulproteus | cendrizzi: There's probably some info on the forums, but I have no personal experience with it. | 05:09 |
| === odyssey [~mat@odyssey.user] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Xenguy | aeruder: but I guess in the end it depends on your specific audience at any given time | 05:09 |
| aeruder | Xenguy: in my experience, most somewhat-technically inclined people would rather be shown how to do it via the command-line (or even told, hey, you can directly edit /etc/group) than to use some magic gui that is gone when they install redhat | 05:09 |
| calc | that is why the tools need to be part of the desktop itself not part of the dist | 05:10 |
| cendrizzi | paulproteus, I'm coming here because I'm not getting help there :( | 05:10 |
| Xenguy | aeruder: I agree - and then there are those who are not 'tekkies', and want the GUI comfort zone | 05:10 |
| calc | eg g-s-t | 05:10 |
| paulproteus | cendrizzi: Ah. | 05:10 |
| aeruder | calc: yes, and then when they use KDE instead of gnome? | 05:10 |
| calc | shoot them to put them out of their misery? ;) | 05:10 |
| Xenguy | aeruder: or perhaps what they think is the comfort zone ;-) | 05:10 |
| paulproteus | aeruder: It's in the KDE Control Center, actually. | 05:10 |
| aeruder | or a slower machine and decide that they want to run blackbox or fluxbox? | 05:10 |
| paulproteus | Not hard to find. | 05:10 |
| paulproteus | aeruder: And it's certainly a good idea to teach them the command-line version, too. | 05:10 |
| cendrizzi | paulproteus, It's really dumb, you can setup laptop mode, to toggle between external monitor and lcd but I have no idea how to actually toggle | 05:10 |
| cendrizzi | there is no docs on it | 05:10 |
| aeruder | paulproteus: well, *I* for one will not be showing people how to do it via the GUI | 05:11 |
| calc | the kde admin tools looked pretty bad the last time i looked at them, and aren't nearly as complete | 05:11 |
| cendrizzi | ATI certainly doesn't have any | 05:11 |
| crimsun | command line first. gui tools after. | 05:11 |
| paulproteus | aeruder: No problem. :) | 05:11 |
| aeruder | and that is that.. so feel free to interject with how to do it via the GUI | 05:11 |
| aeruder | <-- doesn't use gnome/kde ;) | 05:11 |
| calc | aiui kalyxo is working on fixing the kde tools | 05:11 |
| kergan | i use my seti@home in cli casue its easer to set up that way | 05:11 |
| paulproteus | calc: Oh, good. :) | 05:11 |
| calc | would be cool to abstract the backend of g-s-t and just have both gnome and kde frontends to that | 05:12 |

| lostmonk | what makes ubuntu better than KDE? | 05:38 |
| lostmonk | since i have all this time | 05:38 |
| tuggy1 | lostmonk they are too differant things | 05:38 |
| tuggy1 | ubuntu is a distro | 05:39 |
| kergan | kde = gui | 05:39 |
| lostmonk | i thought ubuntu was just a kind of gnome | 05:39 |
| tuggy1 | kde is a desktop manager/resource hog/everything else they pack in | 05:39 |
| tuggy1 | no | 05:39 |
| kergan | ubuntu uses gnome primarly | 05:39 |
| tuggy1 | gnome is just a desktop manager | 05:39 |
| kergan | as a gui | 05:39 |
| tuggy1 | like explorer is to windows | 05:40 |
| Rene_S | Well for one thing Gnome seems to use less resources | 05:40 |
| kergan | sorry i am wrong gui = xserver | 05:40 |
| lostmonk | so ubuntu is more like red hat, etc | 05:40 |
| tuggy1 | yeah | 05:40 |
| lostmonk | so a sorta "brand" | 05:40 |
| kergan | yeah | 05:40 |
| tuggy1 | yep | 05:40 |
| lostmonk | but they will all use the same apps? | 05:40 |
| kergan | flavors we call them | 05:40 |
| kergan | prity much | 05:40 |
| lostmonk | hehe | 05:40 |
| Rene_S | The second reason is that its philosophy is nice | 05:40 |
| lostmonk | like i heard about kopete<sp?> | 05:40 |
| kergan | thats for kde desktop | 05:41 |
| tuggy1 | kopete is the kde chat client | 05:41 |
| lostmonk | does ubuntu have something like that? | 05:41 |
| tuggy1 | gnome has GAIM (better) | 05:41 |
| lostmonk | ahhhh | 05:41 |
| kergan | gaim= im | 05:41 |
| lostmonk | so i cant use kde stuff then | 05:41 |

| tuggy1 | Xchat is for IRC | 05:42 |

| tuggy1 | GAIM is for AIM MSN Yahoo Jabber | 05:42 |

| tar` | Man, you guys are loud... I need more tolerable Gaim sounds. | 05:42 |
| tuggy1 | lostmonk, not really | 05:42 |
| lostmonk | not really isnt comforting :P | 05:42 |
| tuggy1 | but the only good KDE app is k3b | 05:43 |
| tar` | Isn't there a FAQ that answers lostmonk's questions? These seem pretty general to me. | 05:43 |

| tuggy1 | does 3d nvidia drivers work well? | 05:51 |
| Adrenal | dpk-reconfigure: command not found | 05:51 |
| kergan | i just did a sysupdate and it still runs fine | 05:51 |
| lostmonk | am i gonna need a long time to learn all this? | 05:51 |
| kergan | lostmonk, no | 05:51 |
| tuggy1 | lostmonk, it will come faster then you think | 05:51 |
| adbak | dpkg-reconfigure | 05:51 |
| kergan | just a few weeks if your read the fourms | 05:51 |
| adbak | sorry | 05:51 |
| tuggy1 | just play, break, fix, play, break, fix | 05:52 |
| kergan | yep | 05:52 |
| lostmonk | looks s much like i need to learn greek or something | 05:52 |
| Adrenal | thanks | 05:52 |
| adbak | lostmonk: as long as you're interested, it will come soon | 05:52 |
| kergan | not greek just geek | 05:52 |

| tar` | I've been able to avoid going into the terminal for a lot of stuff, which is nice. | 05:52 |
| lostmonk | my GF will go nuts | 05:52 |
| tuggy1 | terminal is my fav place... makes things so much faster then waiting for guis | 05:53 |
| kergan | tuggy1, some times | 05:53 |
| tar` | lostmonk: I installed Ubuntu (Warty) and had a working system without any configuration; plus, with synaptic, you don't even need the terminal to easily install new applications. | 05:53 |
| Xenguy | lostmonk: the apt-get commands are pretty basic once you catch on | 05:53 |
| Xenguy | lostmonk: or there's synaptic | 05:54 |
| tar` | tuggy1: I just hate how every time I want to do something new, I have to go learn how to do it. When I don't really care about the internals, clicking a box for DHCP is good enough. | 05:54 |
| kergan | far more supior the the rpm based distros | 05:54 |
| lostmonk | now, when i had the bootstarp error earlier, it said something about burning the disc slower?? | 05:54 |
| lostmonk | should i do that this time around? | 05:54 |
| tar` | It's worth a shot. | 05:54 |
| tar` | I assume it said your disc was a bad burn? | 05:54 |
| lostmonk | i gotta dig for my burner app now | 05:54 |
| tuggy1 | tar`, I agree with you there, the one thing ubuntu needs is a control center like yast2 or the one in yoper | 05:55 |
| speel | lol | 05:55 |
| lostmonk | yeah, said there was a del bootstrap, something like that | 05:55 |
| tuggy1 | do that you can config certain things quickly | 05:55 |
| kergan | i just like the fast if some thing freazes x(god forbid) it dont take the whole system down like it would with winshit | 05:55 |

| bob2 | since mplayer is in multiverse | 06:13 |
| nictuku | if when hoary releases the d-i is still "rc2", will it ship it? | 06:14 |
| nomasteryoda | mplayer rocks, even if a few people can't follow directions.. | 06:14 |
| tuggy1 | mplayer does rock | 06:14 |
| bob2 | nictuku: warty shipped with d-i from before the first beta, iirc | 06:14 |
| adbak | gxine is a competent replacement for mplayer | 06:14 |
| SimonTek | is anyone from GA? | 06:15 |
| kergan | i think xine is better the mplayer | 06:15 |
| nictuku | rc2 has a pretty decent preseeds set. | 06:15 |
| tuggy1 | best player for linux that I have used | 06:15 |

| kergan | its in your add idam to your bar | 06:16 |
| adbak | burner: not necessarily. depends on your tastes | 06:16 |
| bur[n] er | eh... i like mplayer's interface... that's about it | 06:16 |
| bob2 | Roshbo: evolution used to be able to show weather forecasts. theres a gnome panel applet for it now | 06:16 |
| bur[n] er | they both play about the same stuff | 06:16 |
| bob2 | SimonTek: yes, I know, try the list | 06:17 |
| bur[n] er | vlc is actually really nice too | 06:17 |
| Roshbo | tks | 06:17 |
| bob2 | SimonTek: the odds of finding any significant number of people from one specific state ine one random country at any time in here is small, compared to the list | 06:17 |

| nomasteryoda | look at this article... http://enterprise.linux.com/article.pl?sid=04/12/14/166253&tid=89 | 06:51 |

| nomasteryoda | for hdparm | 06:51 |
| nomasteryoda | er, the url that is | 06:51 |
| calamari | nomasteryoda: thanks, I appreciate that :) | 06:51 |
| adbak | then you'll have a list of options that you can use to check the cd or install various parts of ubuntu | 06:51 |
| nomasteryoda | lostmonk, look at sudo lspci | 06:51 |
| lostmonk | ah, ok | 06:51 |
| lostmonk | sudo what? | 06:52 |
| nomasteryoda | sudo lspci - lspci lists pci hw | 06:52 |
| tuggy1 | I should get a screen shot of this when Im done | 06:52 |
| lostmonk | and what with the md5sum thing am i looking for? | 06:52 |
| nomasteryoda | that the md5 matches for the iso | 06:52 |
| lostmonk | dunno how | 06:53 |
| nomasteryoda | nero has that option too... pretty sure of that | 06:53 |
| nomasteryoda | i have done it, but since i have used k3b for the past year, i have forgotten windows junk ...hehe | 06:53 |
| kergan | ya me too | 06:53 |
| nomasteryoda | k3b is the kde cdburning app | 06:53 |
| tuggy1 | heheI opened all off the standard ubuntu apps that are installed normally | 06:54 |
| nomasteryoda | calamari, if you mod the hdparm, first do the dma option then if it is stable, try something more daring | 06:54 |

| mroth | according to resource monitor anyhow | 06:55 |
| ChrisC_ | OK, next n00b question: when I do some action requiring root, what governs whether I get a password prompt for that action? It seems to be remembering the root password sometimes (i.e. no PW prompt) | 06:55 |
| tuggy1 | are you compiling in the background? | 06:55 |
| nomasteryoda | that should get you going on a windows burn | 06:56 |

| mroth | nope | 06:56 |
| nomasteryoda | and free | 06:56 |
| tuggy1 | from gnomes system monitor | 06:56 |
| mroth | maybe it uses more because I have more total | 06:56 |
| mroth | (2gb installed) | 06:56 |
| CheatersRealm | ChrisC_, if you su to root, then you just need the password when suing, then you are root. if you use sudo then it remembers it and sometimes it just doesn't require a password (at least it can be set up that way) | 06:56 |
| tuggy1 | yeah I only have a gig installed | 06:56 |

| xskoulax | but i did install with out | 10:42 |
| martin_ | people how do i switch to console mode from like uhm animated mode? | 10:43 |
| martin_ | like using commands | 10:43 |
| martin_ | and not your cursor and such things.. . . | 10:43 |
| xskoulax | today is my first time back on #ubuntu since like the end of october i think, so i'm a little out of the loop | 10:43 |

| martin_ | you know, like windows has dos | 10:45 |
| martin_ | this has some other thing | 10:46 |
| xskoulax | you can click on applications > system tools > terminal | 10:46 |
| xskoulax | that would bring up a "dos box" | 10:46 |
| xskoulax | in windows terms | 10:46 |
| martin_ | cool | 10:46 |

| xskoulax | more detail on sudo is where i would be starting to get out of my depth | 10:49 |

| martin_ | i still havent figured out how to listen to music -_- | 10:55 |
| massi | martin_, ^_^ understood | 10:56 |
| xskoulax | martin_, the best solution if you can is to use another computer for learning linux that way you can't hose you windows install | 10:56 |
| xskoulax | if thats not possiable i'd prefer to use 2 seperate harddrives to keep things seperated | 10:56 |
| martin_ | skoulax, dont have another computer :/ | 10:56 |
| xskoulax | thought that might be the case | 10:57 |
| martin_ | thats a pretty good idea.. i wonder where i could get another hard drive though, im short on cash | 10:57 |
| ctd | Unless it's essential, usually the best way is to just go straight linux and boot off windows. | 10:57 |
| === zenlunatic [~zenlunati@ppp1-96.dialup.umbc.edu] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| ctd | That way you force yourself to learn. | 10:58 |
| xskoulax | there is less risk of messing up important work with stuff on seperate hard drives | 10:58 |
| xskoulax | ctd has a very good point | 10:58 |
| martin_ | yes, ctd does ^^ | 10:58 |
| xskoulax | i guess it depends on what you need your computer for | 10:58 |
| martin_ | well finally i found some people who answer my questions | 10:58 |

| martin_ | although i havent been gaming in the past week at all | 10:59 |
| xskoulax | but if you need a stable computer for email word processing and internet you really can't go wrong with linux | 10:59 |
| martin_ | i could stop quake3ing for a while i suppose :) | 10:59 |
| xskoulax | quake3 works on linux | 10:59 |

| xskoulax | i've got it working on the slackware install i did for my brother waaaay back | 11:00 |
| martin_ | i dont even know what a package is | 11:00 |
| xskoulax | package is like a zipped program kinda | 11:00 |
| xskoulax | except in ubuntu and indeed other debian distributions you have a nice program called apt-get | 11:01 |

| === xskoulax a noob but not virgin :p | ||
| Agrajag | er | 11:18 |
| Agrajag | actually | 11:19 |
| Agrajag | martin_: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:19 |
| xskoulax | Agrajag, you can prolly guide him better than me | 11:19 |
| Agrajag | gedit should be easier to use | 11:19 |
| Agrajag | there should be instruction in that file on enabling "universe" | 11:19 |
| martin_ | alright.. whats universe? | 11:19 |
| xskoulax | martin_, if you type alt+f2 you can get a run box | 11:20 |
| Agrajag | it's a set of package sthat are not in the standard ubuntu distribution | 11:20 |
| xskoulax | you can paste that command there if you need | 11:20 |
| xskoulax | to open gedit on that file | 11:20 |
| martin_ | oh coooooool | 11:20 |
| martin_ | finally im learning how to do something :) | 11:21 |
| xskoulax | \o/ | 11:21 |
| martin_ | so the sudo gedit stuff is actually connecting to some server and downlaoding things from it? | 11:21 |
| Agrajag | huh | 11:21 |
| Agrajag | no | 11:21 |
| xskoulax | no | 11:21 |
| martin_ | oh. | 11:21 |
| xskoulax | gedit is like notepad | 11:21 |
| Agrajag | it's editing a text file on your computer | 11:22 |
| martin_ | oh lol | 11:22 |
| martin_ | why would i want to do that then? | 11:22 |
| martin_ | right now i mean, concidering i want to downlaod bittornado | 11:22 |
| Agrajag | to enable the universe repository. | 11:22 |
| martin_ | oh ok, ill read it then | 11:22 |
| martin_ | brb | 11:22 |
| Agrajag | You ned to tell apt that you want to use software from anothe repository | 11:22 |
| xskoulax | sudo is saying i want to run this command as the admin, gedit is the program you want to run, and /etc/apt/sources.list is the path to the file | 11:22 |
| martin_ | Uncomment the following two lines to fetch updated software from the network? | 11:23 |
| Agrajag | yes | 11:23 |
| martin_ | what is uncommenting | 11:23 |
| Agrajag | remove the # | 11:23 |
| xskoulax | yea that means remove the # from infront of the lines | 11:23 |

| Agrajag | just those two | 11:23 |

| martin_ | the second ## is: Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe' | 11:24 |
| Agrajag | you see the two lines, right after that one that sayas "the next two lines"? | 11:24 |
| Agrajag | those two | 11:25 |
| martin_ | the universe lines? | 11:25 |
| Agrajag | they have a URL in them, and at the very end they say "universe" | 11:25 |
| Agrajag | remove the # from the front of those lines | 11:25 |
| martin_ | and i leave the the 'fetch software from the network' alone? | 11:25 |
| Agrajag | yes | 11:25 |

| === xskoulax decides to leave that kettle of fish alone for now | ||
| martin_ | some packages could not be isntalled. this may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are usding the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of incoming. | 11:30 |
| Agrajag | that's... odd. | 11:30 |
| Agrajag | back in a moment. | 11:30 |
| martin_ | theres another thing, sec | 11:31 |
| xskoulax | martin_, i'm guessin he's checking something | 11:31 |
| martin_ | since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against taht package should be filed. the following information may helpo to solve the situtation: | 11:31 |
| martin_ | xskoulax, alright. btw, how do you type my name? you actually type it, or is there a hotkey or something | 11:31 |
| xskoulax | i type mar then hit the tab key and it finishes it for me :D | 11:32 |
| xskoulax | you could use xs tab for me | 11:32 |
| xskoulax | i would imagine | 11:32 |
| martin_ | the following packages have unmet dependencies: bittornado-gui:depends:libwxgtk2.4-python but it is not going to be installed | 11:32 |
| martin_ | oh cool | 11:32 |
| martin_ | i didnt know you could do that here | 11:33 |
| xskoulax | that means bittornado needs a python libary | 11:33 |
| xskoulax | which would be a dll in windows | 11:33 |
| xskoulax | at least thats my understanding | 11:33 |
| martin_ | i dont even know what ddl files are for | 11:33 |
| martin_ | is there a hotkey to maximize/minimized windows? | 11:34 |
| xskoulax | dlls are like small chunks of program that can be use by lots of programs | 11:34 |
| xskoulax | but if you are missing the dll your program is like wait a second i have a peice missing | 11:34 |

| AndyFit1 | usual CTRL+SHIFT+D | 02:29 |
| AndyFit1 | just open the document properties dialog | 02:29 |
| demon666_nl | vegai : all ports are closed by default and only opened when you install something like apache. But firestarter might be nice if you want to make sure those services aren't reachable. A firewall is also nice if you're paranoid :) | 02:30 |
| AndyFit1 | totem-xine and mplayer arent opening my divx :P | 02:31 |
| demon666_nl | bob2 : thnx | 02:31 |
| wood1 | How do I transfer a file from Amsn to somebody from Gaim ? | 02:31 |
| usual | AndyFit1, do I have to do something special to perfectly paste the icon into the new doc? or do I just drag it over it and hope for the best | 02:31 |
| AndyFit1 | I wanna watch theOCS02E06. too bad I guess lol | 02:31 |
| usual | AndyFit1, did you install the multimedia packages like libdvdcss2 or whatever | 02:31 |
| AndyFit1 | usual, those bugs were fixed when I visited the inkscape dev team in melbourne :) | 02:32 |
| AndyFit1 | it should work fine. but ungrouping everything and pressing up down helps too.. also making sure you vacuum the defs every so often | 02:32 |

| zenlunatic | how does one verify the iso is not corrupted? ie md5? | 02:33 |
| zenlunatic | or does ubuntu not have this? | 02:33 |
| AndyFit1 | usual: yeah I installed everything needed. and I didnt uninstall anything . the same files that played a few days ago won't play now with no corruption etc | 02:33 |
| AndyFit1 | usual, could you pm me you sources.list ? | 02:34 |
| usual | AndyFit1, sure | 02:34 |
| AndyFit1 | you= your | 02:34 |
| AndyFit1 | thanks . I did alot of sources.list cleansing when gnome-panel didnt load ;) | 02:34 |
| etorix | hmm .. why didnt i get an option to set a root password and account | 02:35 |
| etorix | how am i i sposed to edit | 02:36 |
| === beyond is now known as beyond-bbc | ||
| usual | AndyFit1, 1 sec | 02:36 |
| AndyFit1 | etorix, because it uses sudo | 02:36 |
| AndyFit1 | now you type sudo -s instead of su | 02:37 |
| etorix | the user is in the sudoers? | 02:37 |
| AndyFit1 | if you want more than the first user to be able to use sudo you have to edit sudoers | 02:37 |
| etorix | ah ok | 02:37 |

| Ileden | Hi! I'm quite new to linux (haven't gotten it to work well enough for me yet), and I'll probably be installing Ubuntu next time I'll try it out. I'm wondering if this channel is friendly towards help requests concerning ubuntu, and linux in general - can I get help here during the setup process? | 03:15 |
| zeedo | Ileden: yep | 03:15 |
| Ileden | Great. :) | 03:15 |
| zeedo | as long as you have read the docs first, people here will be happy to help | 03:16 |
| AcidPils | im also new to this chan, but most of the guys here are helful | 03:16 |
| Ileden | Well, I'll be sure to try the docs first, but not everything is that well documented, at least for those with not much previous technical experience with linux... | 03:17 |
| === mgedmin [~mg@office.pov.lt] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Ileden | I haven't yet read the ubuntu docs, though. | 03:17 |
| |rufius| | Could anyone tell me how to change my default media player from Totem to something else? | 03:17 |
| siretart | ah, hi AcidPils ;) | 03:18 |
| Ileden | I'd also like to know whether this channel has a friendly attitude towards helping out on setting up technically insignificant, but usability-wise meaningful features for ubuntu? Often some of my questions and laments about some aspects of linux have been met with somewhat of a resistance from people using linux, which does make setting up a linux for my tastes a problem. | 03:18 |
| === weezer_ [~Wiseguy@p3E9E419B.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| siretart | Ileden: I have a good impression of the ubuntu community. Both in this channel and in the wiki | 03:19 |

| === noly [EatMyShort@ems07.your-freedom.de] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Ileden | siretart: So true. The main problem is just that - you (or at least I) mostly learn by doing. But I need to have the system up and working for me to start learning how it works. And from previous experience it seems to set up linux (not just install) you need to know how it works. So there we have an endless loop. :) | 03:23 |
| Ileden | by setting up I don't just mean the installation. | 03:23 |
| === srbaker [~srbaker@dpc67446114.direcpc.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Ileden | I mean installing and setting up all the software required for normal use of a computer system -.which is somewhat extensive list for me :) | 03:24 |
| siretart | Ileden: ubuntu works fairly good at setting up a gnome desktop with office tools like openoffice and evolution. it depends how YOU want to use your computer. for many people this suffices | 03:25 |
| etorix | best way to learn is by doing | 03:25 |

| siretart | hehe | 03:26 |
| Ileden | siretart: yes, that is the problem, for most people Office is enough. I however have some more uses, and on previous occasion I haven't gotten all of the applications I want to work. | 03:28 |
| Ileden | and most people that have more uses already know how to use linux. :) | 03:29 |

| srbaker | suck | 03:42 |
| srbaker | what about tomboy packages? | 03:42 |
| |rufius| | like if i try to play netpanzer or postal, my xserver goes nuts and dies on me, have to restart it | 03:43 |
| royalbuds | |rufius|, but what about the packages, can i use debian mirrors? | 03:43 |
| AndyFit1 | the rest should be in unstable or multiverse | 03:43 |
| AndyFit1 | I mean universe | 03:43 |

| |rufius| | royalbuds: if you wanted to but i havent found much that the ubuntu mirrors didn'th ave... | 03:43 |

| royalbuds | |rufius|, but i can use apt? | 03:44 |
| srbaker | AndyFit1, no, warty | 03:44 |
| kensai | royalbuds, yep apt is the package manager for ubuntu too | 03:44 |
| AndyFit1 | ahh sorry yeah I know there is a repo for warty too. getswea something something | 03:44 |
| linux_mafia | srbaker, tseng's repo has those things | 03:44 |

| pw | Book. | 05:07 |
| Pozac | yah | 05:07 |
| pw | Try "Running Linux". | 05:07 |
| Blackwell | martin_: it helps to have some gui to get something going and working at all. believe me...you cannot avoid "OS sex" with linux. ;) | 05:07 |
| Blackwell | martin_: hell, not even os x manages to keep the unix backend away from you. | 05:07 |

| martin_ | or what does it represent | 05:43 |
| crimsun | it comes from OpenBSD | 05:43 |
| Pozac | SUperuser DO | 05:44 |
| crimsun | it allows you to run a command as a different user, by default the root user | 05:44 |
| martin_ | oh cool | 05:44 |
| martin_ | why do i want to run a command as a different user? | 05:44 |
| Pozac | you need to be in /etc/sudoers | 05:44 |
| Pozac | martin_, superuser | 05:44 |
| martin_ | what are these etc/ libraries | 05:44 |
| crimsun | it's akin to the su(1) command but provides a command audit trail | 05:44 |

| riffic | hey I figured out the resolution problem I was having yesterday | 05:45 |
| martin_ | ? | 05:45 |
| Pozac | not really... | 05:45 |
| riffic | I edited xorg.conf for the monitor refresh rate settings.. | 05:46 |
| Pozac | linux is generally not a toy, you need a purpose :) | 05:46 |
| paulproteus | martin_: http://www.physics.ubc.ca/mbelab/computer/linux-intro/html/ might help you | 05:46 |
| crimsun | martin_: therefore you'd preface a command with sudo to run the command as root, since many system administration tasks require root privileges | 05:46 |
| riffic | but I guess XFree86.conf takes precedence | 05:46 |
| riffic | and it needed the settings too | 05:46 |
| Pozac | Eating time. Later. :) | 05:46 |
| riffic | so if anyone cares that's how I fixed | 05:46 |
| Blackwell | riffic: document | 05:47 |

| paulproteus | In Synaptic, you can find the file list for a package. | 05:54 |
| crimsun | martin_: the Python scripts are installed into /usr/bin, as most executables and scripts are | 05:54 |
| Findeton | and, well, when i installed mldonkey... it got the 2.5-21 version, which is totally broken | 05:54 |

| Findeton | i installed via synaptic, i mean | 05:55 |

| adbak | anir: i have no clue, but go to distrowatch.com and there's a little drop-down menu. find linspire on it and it will tell you the website for linspire | 06:21 |
| Blackwell | anir: some companies make money off of putting together a very ease to use linux distribution. if you don't want to pay for them, that's ok. | 06:21 |

| crimsun | lkerscher: you should enable the universe and multiverse repos in Synaptic if you want some of those packages. Ubuntu already includes most of them. | 06:23 |
| [Phaedrus] | hey guys | 06:23 |
| anir | why Linux uses multiple GUI??? | 06:23 |
| [Phaedrus] | i have a question | 06:23 |
| lkerscher | hm and how to do that? | 06:24 |
| crimsun | lkerscher: that package list was written for Debian Woody. Ubuntu Warty is much newer than Debian Woody. | 06:24 |
| [Phaedrus] | anyone have any idea how to setup a Motorola SM56 PCI modem in ubuntu? | 06:24 |
| adbak | crimsun: for multiverse do you just copy the universe repo and replace uni- with multi-? | 06:24 |
| [Phaedrus] | it seems that ubuntu recognises it under 'device settings' | 06:24 |
| crimsun | lkerscher: follow the instructions for Restricted formats on the wiki. | 06:24 |
| anir | listen to me.. | 06:24 |
| adbak | anir: for choices. some people like one over another. some work better on older machines | 06:24 |
| Blackwell | anir: because people can't agree on a single one. if you want less choice, consider sticking to windows or better mac. | 06:24 |
| lkerscher | okay | 06:24 |
| lkerscher | thank you | 06:24 |
| crimsun | adbak: you could do that, sure. You can also enable it in Synaptic. | 06:24 |
| anir | i am not talking about me only.. i am talking about the average home users.. | 06:25 |
| adbak | crimsun: but there is no multiverse repo when you install ubuntu. you have to manually add it | 06:25 |
| crimsun | the average home user will be pleased with GNOME 2.8 | 06:25 |
| crimsun | hence its selection as a default desktop for Warty | 06:25 |
| anir | many of home pc users dont want to install linux because its less user friendly.. | 06:25 |
| crimsun | adbak: that's the idea | 06:25 |
| crimsun | adbak: it shouldn't be "installed" by default. A small subset of fully-supported packages is good. | 06:26 |
| anir | the question is not Independence to CHOOSE its independence to NOT have to choose | 06:26 |
| crimsun | anir: GNOME 2.8 is hardly user-friendly. | 06:26 |
| adbak | crimsun: yes, i agree, i was just trying to say that i can't enable it in synaptic cuz i don't have it in my sources.list | 06:27 |
| crimsun | err, user-unfriendly. | 06:27 |
| crimsun | adbak: it should be in your sources.list by default, just commented out | 06:27 |
| Blackwell | anir: if you don't want to choose, there are options you can...erh...choose that are good for that state of mind. | 06:27 |
| DoktorTomoe | crimsun: this ndiswrapper problem is not mentioned in bugzilla. Given the information I have is relatively small ("does not work"), is in really good to file a bug report? | 06:28 |
| lkerscher | sorry but which is that wiki-adress? | 06:28 |
| adbak | anir: linux, in general, may be less user-friendly, but that gap is quickly being closed. not to mention some (avg home users) are scared off because of the learning curve. they're used to their windows | 06:28 |
| crimsun | lkerscher: also linked from Ubuntu's web site. | 06:28 |
| Blackwell | anir: you may have "standardization" in mind. i agree that standardization in the way of windows and mac os x is important and good. but you won't find many fans of that among unix people. | 06:28 |
| Blackwell | bsd people on the other hand....enjoy the fruits of standardization every single day, too. | 06:28 |
| crimsun | DoktorTomoe: it's your call, really, but Hoary _is_ a moving target, and things are expected to break. You could wait a couple days and see if linux-image-2.6.9-1-386 is updated again. | 06:28 |
| anir | crimsun: see .. an average user dont want to keep trying a newer version of OS everyother day.... what i get in KDE i get diferent feel in GNOME.. | 06:29 |
| crimsun | anir: do you expect the average user to try every available desktop environment? | 06:29 |
| crimsun | anir: or do you think (s)he will stick with one that works, one that is aesthetically-pleasing, and one that is efficient? | 06:30 |
| === srbaker_ [~srbaker@dpc67446114.direcpc.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | anir: for instance, by choosing to try both KDE and GNOME, you've already crossed outside the definition of the "average" home user. Your expectations of the "average" home user thus are irrelevant. | 06:30 |
| anir | crimsun:..indeed they dont..well i want to solve problems with the computer.. not create.. right.. | 06:31 |
| DoktorTomoe | anir: What exactly is your problem in choosing one of the GUIs? | 06:31 |
| DoktorTomoe | anir: Just choose the one which most of the applications you want to use are written for. That's KDE for me, | 06:31 |
| [Phaedrus] | anyone have any idea how to setup a Motorola SM56 PCI modem in ubuntu? | 06:32 |
| anir | crimsun: thats what i am trying to say.. i am confused which one suits me best..there are so many linux os.. but without any stahdard..like for eg.. windows or OS x uses only one GUI | 06:32 |
| === Blackwell likes simple GUIs. ubuntu's gnome looks simple, thus he likes that. the few glimpes at gnome desktop he saw before he didn't like much though, looked very ugly. | ||

| anir | blackwell: do u think its good? | 06:34 |
| DoktorTomoe | anir: If you actually have been trying 3 different distributions (please do not call them OS), why have you done it? | 06:34 |

| adbak | anir: if the abundance of choices is not pleasing, you can always accept the defaults | 06:35 |
| Blackwell | anir: to have choice? yes, to have choice is good. however, in the java software development field there is often too much (dubious) choice, and it actually hurts people. what you should consider perhaps it to ignore everything that is not mainstream. that helps to cut away of lot of first level choices. | 06:36 |
| === thomas [~thomas@easyconnect2121136-159.clients.easynet.fr] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| DoktorTomoe | anir: Actually, I am busy like hell (IT Freelancer), but I know what I want, and how to get it. And I know how to obtain the software I need. Therefore, I do not really invest time, unless I think it is important. | 06:37 |
| Blackwell | anir: you seem to assume that all the linux distros out there are made for one particular group of users. that is however not so. if you are in a hurry, you don't have time to learn something new. so let a consultant tell you what you need or get what you already know. if you are unhappy with the stuff you already know...linux is in the box of options again. | 06:37 |

| krischan | guys, an XMMS-related question: how do I enable XMMS to play back MIDI files? I heard about the 'xmms-midi' plugin, but I can't find it in Ubuntu's repos. | 07:00 |
| anir | bob2: can u help me? | 07:02 |
| andy | hi guys... i just installed Ubuntu onto my pismo powerbook and during installation I made my ethernet port the default networking port. however it didn't seem to install support for my airport card though. how do i go about installing that as well? | 07:02 |
| Blackwell | anir: you can have someone remotely look over your shoulder, too, in case this is somehow not working out. | 07:03 |
| Blackwell | pick someone willing to help and make sure to only allow looking, not actual controlling of your desktop. | 07:03 |
| bob2 | andy: just load the airport module and then use iwconfig | 07:03 |

| bob2 | 03:54:26 bob2 | 03:47:48 bob2 | 03:45:03 bob2 | anir: can you paste the output of 'dpkg -l libavcodec2 | tail -n1'? | 07:04 |

| crimsun | macewan: it is not recommended that you randomly add the Sid binary packages line to /etc/apt/sources.list. Much weeping and gnashing of teeth may ensue. Instead, you may be able to grab the package from Sid's pool manually and install it. | 07:05 |
| bob2 | anir: please just cut and paste it carefully | 07:05 |
| anir | bob2: whtever i am typing it says command not found.. | 07:05 |

| bob2 | nomasteryoda: 'noobs'? | 07:13 |
| Cheese | course, by that definition, that'd make everything a liveCD, so that probobly is wrong | 07:13 |
| crimsun | Cheese: a live CD is more along the lines of Knoppix or Ubuntu's livecd or MandrakeMove | 07:13 |

| jdub | anir: the problem here is that, for various reasons, FOSS is locked out of a lot of multimedia formats and protocols | 08:02 |
| trukulo | anir, what games? solitaire and pinball? great | 08:02 |
| anir | but in ububtu i have to download from the net only to configure my system... | 08:02 |
| JStrike | trukulo : What are you on about? No. If you buy a cd, or someone gives you a program, with dependency resolution, linux is pretty useless | 08:02 |
| jpvcx | anir: sure, try playing .ogm files in a fresh windows xp install | 08:02 |
| jdub | anir: so in large part, we cannot use these things easily on linux | 08:02 |

| trukulo | JStrike, if anyone gives you a program for windows, that depends on directx9b , and you don't have it... what? | 08:03 |
| jdub | anir: for the more technically minded, there are ways around this, but it involves downloading software because none of it can be shipped with Ubuntu itself for legal reasons | 08:03 |
| trukulo | it's the same problem | 08:03 |
| anir | take for example ... i am downloading 200MB from yesterday.. | 08:03 |
| trukulo | i agree with jdub | 08:03 |
| trukulo | problems you're talking about have patent and copyright problems | 08:03 |
| rhodan | trukulo: thanks for your help with the theme | 08:03 |
| JStrike | trukulo : Seems to come with almost anything that needs it | 08:03 |
| trukulo | in ubuntu you have alternatives, just use them | 08:04 |
| jdub | anir: are you using warty or hoary? | 08:04 |
| trukulo | JStrike, i disagree | 08:04 |
| anir | jdub i am using warty | 08:04 |
| trukulo | you are talking about windows AND a lot of software installed after installation | 08:04 |
| jdub | anir: ok, so those are the initial security updates available for warty | 08:04 |
| trukulo | software, that it's system separatedly distributed | 08:04 |

| jdub | anir: you get all the required software from the CD only with ubuntu too, but you have additional needs | 08:06 |
| ACID|net | in samba client, i want to change a directory which has spares - how do i do it??? IMPORTANT | 08:06 |
| JStrike | tritium : I haven't used windows in a long time, but back then, I never came across dependency issues, such as you will have on linux without an internet connection | 08:06 |
| anir | thats why people hasitates to install linux.. as my rommie said | 08:06 |
| trukulo | JStrike, if you have repos on cd's with depends, you have no problems | 08:07 |
| trukulo | same as windows | 08:07 |
| trukulo | programs in windows come with depends | 08:07 |
| JStrike | trukulo : Rubish | 08:07 |
| tritium | JStrike, you were just less aware of the DLL hell under the hood with windows | 08:07 |
| trukulo | JStrike, think what you want | 08:07 |
| anir | i dont know.. but other than being a bit stable...i dont find any advantages in linux over windows | 08:07 |
| trukulo | anir, perhaps, you need to read more about linux then | 08:08 |
| JStrike | If someone hands you a cd with a modern game, you can be pretty sure it will run on windows. Not the same with linux | 08:08 |
| jdub | anir: that's ok :) | 08:08 |
| trukulo | what about free software advantage? | 08:08 |
| tritium | JStrike, try installing yahoo messenger or something similar without the latest Internet Explorer if you want dependency hell in windows | 08:08 |
| xelerated | i was just showing a buddy an advantage of my linux box over his windows box, my weather monitor gives me everything his does, but i dont see add's or popups | 08:08 |
| JStrike | And that is not even bringing in the problem with different distros using different versions of libraries | 08:08 |
| trukulo | JStrike, it's a problem of support in game companys | 08:08 |
| anir | hope we will get something better linux in the near future which will solve the problems... but till then.. | 08:08 |
| zenwhen | You wont find the advantages if you are only using oyur computer for email web browsing and games, and dont care about security or automation. | 08:08 |
| JStrike | I dont have windows, but I am talking about 6-7 years ago when I did | 08:09 |
| |QuaD- | why is this a linx vs windows discussion? we are all in here because we experienced the fact that linux is better then windows... lets move on | 08:09 |
| trukulo | JStrike, then go back windows if you want, i'm really happy with linux | 08:09 |
| anir | now Window is coming with LongHorn... its great.. | 08:09 |
| zenwhen | If you donlt see why Linux is a superior platform, you haven;t looked hard enough. | 08:09 |

| xelerated | yea, if i didnt care one bit about security, id use windows. But i do care about security, and wont touch windows other than to play an occasional game | 08:09 |
| tritium | anir, what compilers and libraries does Longhorn come with? | 08:09 |
| jdub | dudes, let's leave the windows vs. linux argument please | 08:09 |

| zenwhen | Anir, more people use Linux because Microsoft is a corrupt monopoly that pushes any and all competitors out of the limelight. Dell doesnt sell desktops wiht Linux because Microsoft would raise their price to Dell. It has nothing to do with quality. It has everything to do with the fact that most people have not even heard of Linux. Ubuntu aims to change that. There will alays be adjustment when switching platforms. You just have to | 08:16 |
| zenwhen | get used to the diffrences and read some guides. | 08:16 |

| anir | better than anyother | 08:21 |
| jdub | anir: so there are programs around that will help you run windows software on linux (generally not games), but these are for special cases. in general, there's no point switching to linux while continuing to use windows software. | 08:21 |
| Quenyar | for example, if you're installing ubuntu and it detects two NICs, does it further probe and find the DSL connection? | 08:21 |
| Tyche | trukulo: hehe, cannot read it, but looks good. That is what I was looking for. Thank you. | 08:22 |
| trukulo | anir, i know it's difficult to understand, but if you wanna help, that's not the way | 08:22 |
| trukulo | you can send suggests to bugzilla ubuntu | 08:22 |
| trukulo | Tyche, it's spanish :) | 08:22 |
| DaNewB | warty.iso --> 100% download complete! :) | 08:22 |
| tritium | anir, there are different opinions of what would be better. I don't play video games, so the ability to play windows games wouldn't make ubuntu better for me... | 08:22 |
| anir | tritium: but for the rest 50% people it will be.. why only think about yourself | 08:23 |
| trukulo | anir, we can't do more than we do | 08:23 |
| tritium | anir, I'm not. I'm thinking about those that don't care about games. | 08:23 |
| trukulo | if companys make games for linux, then superb | 08:23 |
| jdub | anir: people work on what's important to them. | 08:23 |
| Tyche | How do I get into MySQL if I have never used the base install from warty? Do I need to change the password for root, since the root password isn't working? | 08:24 |
| Quenyar | tritium, however, sometimes being able to review a document in actual MS-Word is required - Open Office is great, but MSW paginates things differently, for example | 08:24 |
| woodysanay | ok guys, I will see you all tomorrow | 08:24 |

| trukulo | Quenyar, paginates on word dependes on printer | 08:24 |
| Tyche | jdub how do I sudo mysql? sudo mysql -u <myusername> -p? | 08:24 |
| Quenyar | tritium - a reason to run wine to run a typical windows app not related to games | 08:24 |
| trukulo | anir, normally, people who develop in linux don't mind about commercial games | 08:25 |
| tritium | Quenyar, okay... | 08:25 |
| |QuaD- | anir: games that you would want to play are usuall closed source, so it is more up to the developers | 08:25 |

| djuuss | what apt mirror do i use for packages found in for instance.. the PLF? | 09:29 |

| Captain_Obvious | well, atm i have one comp and it'll be both a server and a desktop | 09:31 |

| derJunior | i need some tools: lame galeon and limewire, how can i install this under ubuntu? | 09:54 |
| derJunior | or what do i need to put into the /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 09:54 |
| Riddell | AMIGrAve: it's a very early project, the only things that's been done is some packages have been uploaded to hoary which you can see in hoary-changes | 09:54 |
| derJunior | ogra: ne idee? | 09:54 |
| naibed | derJunior, apt-get them. If they're not in the ubuntu repos, uncomment the "world" repositories (/etc/apt/sources.list) | 09:55 |
| Riddell | AMIGrAve: it is of course Free Software and will be available at no cost once CDs are available | 09:55 |
| ogra | AMIGrAve: ask haggai if he comes around | 09:55 |
| kayali | no one knows how to mount a windows share with ubuntu? | 09:55 |

| naibed | Kaloz, mount -t smbfs //IP/C /mnt/C -o WORKGROU=FOO,guest | 09:55 |
| Riddell | AMIGrAve: 3) good question, what is your experience and skills, we don't have a mailing list yet unfortunatly, you can add comments on the wiki page | 09:56 |
| ogra | derJunior: dunno if galeon is in hoary, limewire depends on ava i think... | 09:56 |
| kayali | naibed: unsupported filesystem type... | 09:56 |
| naibed | kayali, try with smbmount (if you don't have it, install it) | 09:56 |
| derJunior | ogra: hm i don't understand you | 09:56 |
| kayali | naibed: but doesnt smbmount come with samba? | 09:56 |

| naibed | :o | 10:48 |

| ogra | D0wnXcaST: did you already enable universe and multiverse to get more software ? | 10:48 |

| Pozac | plattypus1, I was... mere months ago | 10:49 |

| naibed | Snegec, make a backup and run fdisk to repair that.. | 10:49 |
| D0wnXcaST | :) | 10:49 |
| plattypus1 | crimsun, that might be the problem... | 10:49 |
| crimsun | plattypus1: the problem is more than likely related to the root filesystem's support being in the initrd, which you aren't using. | 10:49 |
| ogra | plattypus1: and for linuxant you only need the linux-headers package | 10:49 |

| occy | (which I'd love to use by my almost 60 year old Mom would have issues with that res) | 11:18 |
| bytecoder | occy: why would you want to run X at a lower resolution then the max? | 11:18 |
| NewComer | DaNewB, edit ur XF86config, put /dev/tty0 as input device in mouse section | 11:19 |
| Amaranth | ogra: If you want up-to-the-minute packages use hoary or gentoo. The 6-month cycle is designed for have a system that doesn't change little by little so it's easier to maintain and support. | 11:19 |
| saif | Amaranth: thanx!! i'll chk it out! | 11:19 |

| crimsun | saif: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/monoadn/ | 11:19 |
| ogra | zenwhen: but use warty for all my work | 11:20 |
| Pozac | martin_, ubuntu-desktop is just a empty package to make sure you install all the stuff the ubuntu guys want you to have is there | 11:20 |
| crimsun | saif: in fact, look here: http://www.mono-project.com/about/books.html | 11:20 |
| DaNewB | NewComer, thnks, i'll try | 11:20 |
| Amaranth | crimsun: I talk to the author from time to time on irc.gnome.org :) | 11:20 |
| crimsun | Amaranth:) | 11:20 |
| Pozac | martin_, and totem-xine conflicts with totem-gstreamer, which is needed by ubuntu-desktop :) | 11:20 |
| zenwhen | ogra, I have a warty server and a warty desktop. I am thinking baout building a third box for Hoary testing. | 11:20 |
| saif | all righty! thanx a lot! | 11:20 |
| ogra | martin_: reinistall this package before you upgrade to the next stable version of ubuntu....many things will rely on it | 11:20 |
| Amaranth | saif: You probably want an ASP.NET book and the Mono one. | 11:20 |
| bytecoder | you could always install gstreamer-mad, which enables support for the "controversial" formats | 11:21 |
| Pozac | Bumjubeo, login and edit your XF86Config | 11:21 |
| Amaranth | saif: The ASP.NET one will teach you how to use that and the Mono one will show you how to setup mono to use it for web sites. | 11:21 |
| Bumjubeo | awesome, thanks prozac! | 11:21 |
| bytecoder | I think you need to enable the debian marillat repository to get it, though | 11:21 |
| saif | Amaranth: I don't think i need the asp.net one, | 11:21 |
| Pozac | Bumjubeo, do you know what to do to fix it? | 11:21 |
| saif | Amaranth: been developing c# for 2 years now! | 11:21 |
| Pozac | Bumjubeo, I think your resolution might be too high by default or something | 11:21 |
| Amaranth | oh | 11:21 |
| Bumjubeo | Not really :) But I figured google could help me out instead of bothering you guys some more :) | 11:22 |
| Amaranth | saif: Then just get Mono: A Developer | 11:22 |
| Amaranth | err, that one :P | 11:22 |
| saif | Amaranth: thanx for the advice though, will get the mono one! | 11:22 |

| Bumjubeo | okay, sweet deal then :) | 11:22 |
| martin_ | cool Pozac, it works :) | 11:22 |
| Amaranth | saif: If you want to talk to the author I believe he is edd on irc.gnome.org. He would be in #mono. | 11:23 |
| martin_ | why does it take so much time to load though? | 11:23 |
| ogra | martin_: dont forget ygout the package on upgrade ;) | 11:23 |
| ogra | about | 11:23 |
| saif | really?!?! | 11:23 |
| Amaranth | eim: Don't, use grub to boot windows. | 11:23 |
| Amaranth | saif: Yeah. | 11:24 |
| Pozac | Bumjubeo, just open the file in your editor (nano -w /etc/X11/XF86Config), find the section with the resolutions and remove the highest one on all lines | 11:24 |
| saif | nice nice! good to know that, i don't think i wanna bother him with stuff that i can read in books! if i run into walls or problems i'kk go there! :) | 11:24 |
| Pozac | unless it's the resolution you intend to use and know the monitor can do, ofcourse :) | 11:24 |
| Amaranth | saif: Just ask him if his book has what you need. :) | 11:24 |
| Pozac | martin_, np :) | 11:24 |

| calc | load ide-floppy | 11:41 |
| BuckyG | I'm a Wintel newbie. How do you load ide-floppy? | 11:42 |
| gpled | are their any apps for ubuntu, that would let someone read their hotmail accounts? want to use t-bird, but hotmail uses http-mail, instead of pop3. | 11:42 |
| Pozac | BuckyG, add it to /etc/modules | 11:42 |
| the--dud | " A system error occurred." so damn informative as well | 11:42 |
| Pozac | BuckyG, or 'modprobe ide-floppy' if you need it now | 11:43 |

| Pozac | Bumjubeo, Gee, I'm not sure - could be, though.. | 11:45 |
| Pozac | Bumjubeo, Here's a suggestion.. boot the livecd, copy the XF86Config to your disc | 11:47 |
| Bumjubeo | k, makes sense. | 11:47 |
| the--dud | ogra, okay, lets hope it starts working soon then... | 11:48 |

| D0wnXcaST | anyone could tell me exactly what a shell account? | 11:51 |
| === gpled [~gpled@firewall.fccfurn.com] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| D0wnXcaST | sorry ig this is newbi, I AM :) | 11:51 |
| ogra | mh_le: the stable packages are from august i think | 11:51 |
| ogra | mh_le: the majority.....some came in later | 11:51 |
| mh_le | I see | 11:52 |
| ogra | mh_le: but the newest are from october | 11:52 |
| mh_le | cool | 11:52 |
| ogra | mh_le: (not regarding the sceurity updates though) | 11:52 |
| Pozac | D0wnXcaST, a shell is the command line interface to the computer. An account is like what the banks use, so they can charge money for it. | 11:52 |
| punkrockguy318 | and all the importannt updates you can get from warty-backports anyway | 11:52 |
| === andy [~andy@204-26-74-95.omah.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| D0wnXcaST | when i go in my console on ubuntu, is it a shell? | 11:53 |
| ogra | andy http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SynapticHowto | 11:53 |
| punkrockguy318 | ogra, they're pretty nifty update... xchat, firefox, gaim... | 11:53 |
| ogra | D0wnXcaST: yep | 11:53 |
