| Pozac | crimsun, your words man | 12:46 |
| AndyR | i have both alsa and oss mixers loaded, is that right? | 12:46 |
| crimsun | Pozac: that's my point precisely. | 12:46 |
| occy | crimsun: there you go. | 12:46 |
| crimsun | Pozac: those are all split up | 12:47 |
| ogra | occy: sudo rmmpd snd_intel8x0m | 12:47 |

| sls | how do you manage partitions in ubuntu? | 12:47 |
| ogra | occy: it blocks your soundcard | 12:47 |
| crimsun | occy: and now run alsamixer | 12:47 |
| occy | ogra: should I edit some file to remove that perm? | 12:47 |
| Pozac | crimsun, I'm not getting you | 12:47 |
| occy | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device | 12:48 |
| ogra | occy: yep..... /etc/hotplug/blacklist should work | 12:48 |
| Pozac | crimsun, if all the apt-* are replaced by 1 or 3 humanly sane binaries, which load .so's as needed, whats so wrong with that? | 12:48 |
| crimsun | occy: sudo echo "snd-intel8x0m" >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist | 12:48 |
| Pozac | crimsun, to be honest, I dont _care_ that I'm searching the cache. I'm searching apt. | 12:49 |
| crimsun | occy: when you reboot, it should work | 12:49 |
| ogra | Pozac: a user doesnt need them | 12:49 |
| Pozac | consider a binary named apt | 12:49 |
| ogra | Pozac: a user does only need apt-get, apt-cache | 12:49 |
| Pozac | apt install <package> ; apt search, apt extracttemplates | 12:49 |
| occy | crimsun: k... not working atm though after removing that module. ( ogra ) | 12:49 |
| Pozac | then everyone only needs apt | 12:49 |
| crimsun | Pozac: then you have a huge binary for 'apt' | 12:50 |
| Pozac | and we can holds hangs and sing | 12:50 |
| ACIDnet | :@ | 12:50 |
| crimsun | Pozac: and that's just bad practise | 12:50 |
| ACIDnet | can someone pelase help me setup apache | 12:50 |
| Pozac | crimsun, crimsun is emerge that huge? | 12:50 |
| crimsun | ACIDnet: did you install apache through Synaptic? | 12:50 |
| crimsun | Pozac: I have no idea. | 12:50 |
| ogra | occy: but the modules is at least one showstopper..... probably you have to unload all the sound modules to free the device proper | 12:50 |
| ACIDnet | its editing the httpd.conf to allow more than 1 website | 12:50 |
| Pozac | crimsun, my 600mhz thinkpad has never died on me because a binary is too huge | 12:50 |
| occy | ogra: ahhh | 12:50 |
| occy | let me reboot it... [tm] | 12:50 |
| occy | heh | 12:50 |
| Pozac | you cant just go around saying stuff is not possible | 12:51 |
| Pozac | then you've been coding too much C | 12:51 |
| Pozac | or whatever | 12:51 |
| crimsun | err what? | 12:51 |
| AndyR | this aint doze :) | 12:51 |
| occy | heh, too lazy to unload all those modules | 12:51 |
| ogra | occy.....fastest would be a reboot after you did crimsuns sudo echo "snd-intel8x0m" >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist | 12:51 |
| crimsun | the point of _separating_ binaries is to install only the pieces you use, Pozac. | 12:51 |
| occy | unless I can restart something. | 12:51 |
| ACIDnet | crimsun: I have setup two different VirtualHost things but they both point to the same thing | 12:51 |
| Pozac | crimsun, why? | 12:51 |
| Pozac | crimsun, my disk is 60gb... I have apt-extracttemplates installed anyways | 12:51 |

| occy | heh | 12:52 |
| crimsun | Pozac: then why would you choose to install pieces that aren't necessary? | 12:52 |
| Pozac | crimsun, because they make up an integrated bunch like the desktop? | 12:53 |
| crimsun | Pozac: do they? | 12:53 |
| Pozac | instead of strung together fixes | 12:53 |
| Pozac | yeh | 12:53 |
| crimsun | Pozac: there's a reason KDE for Ubuntu proper is not installed by default. | 12:53 |
| Pozac | does it not make sense for a developer to type "apt extracttemplates" and a user to type "apt install" ?? | 12:53 |

| Swerron | hi, why in ubuntu console can't i do Whois an nslookup command? | 03:53 |
| marccd | strixy, cd burning is not different on every distro, you should look up a cd burning how to | 03:53 |
| strixy | good idea. | 03:53 |
| strixy | I got so used to xcdroast | 03:54 |

| marccd | Swerron, what error do you get? | 03:57 |

| === BrettMeister [~chatzilla@dialup-4.245.50.235.Dial1.StLouis1.Level3.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| BrettMeister | Is this a good place to ask some very basic pre-install questions? | 03:58 |
| marccd | BrettMeister, kist asl | 03:58 |
| marccd | oops,. just ask | 03:58 |
| marccd | missed the keys :-P | 03:58 |
| Blackwell | :) | 03:58 |
| BrettMeister | Thanks! | 03:58 |
| Swerron | marccd: whois | 03:58 |
| Swerron | bash: whois: command not found | 03:58 |
| Swerron | ?? | 03:58 |
| CheatersRealm | the correct command is please-whois | 03:59 |
| CheatersRealm | you have to ask nicely :) | 03:59 |
| marccd | Swerron, sudo apt-get install whois | 03:59 |
| BrettMeister | I have read the docs on the Ubunto site. When using partitionmagic to set up, how many partitions should I set aside for this linux distro? | 03:59 |
| CheatersRealm | or that. | 03:59 |
| hypa7ia | BrettMeister: just leave a big blank one and split it with the ubu installer | 03:59 |
| CheatersRealm | BrettMeister, you could leave 1 of unpartitioned space | 03:59 |
| marccd | BrettMeister, depends on your hard drive, the Ubuntu instalation can do it for you also, but you can use partition magic | 03:59 |
| Blackwell | BrettMeister: consider to wet your feet in vmware first, if that is an option. | 03:59 |
| === hypa7ia giggles | ||
| marccd | try the live cd.. | 03:59 |
| hypa7ia | First Post! | 04:00 |
| BrettMeister | Does vmware work well? | 04:00 |
| Swerron | marccd: package not available?? | 04:00 |
| Blackwell | BrettMeister: for me, yes. | 04:00 |
| BrettMeister | Better than partitionmagic? | 04:00 |
| marccd | Swerron, did you configure your sources.list? | 04:00 |
| Blackwell | BrettMeister: erh...vmware is a virtual pc environment thingie... | 04:00 |
| hypa7ia | BrettMeister: vmware is something completely different... | 04:00 |
| marccd | try apt-cache policy whois | 04:00 |
| Blackwell | BrettMeister: good for trying new operating systems without the risk of wiping your hdd clean. | 04:01 |
| BrettMeister | I've already been playing around with Knoppix. | 04:01 |
| hypa7ia | but costs major $$ | 04:01 |
| kayali | how can someone build a .deb package? | 04:01 |
| Swerron | marccd: no, i'm a bit new to linux | 04:01 |
| hypa7ia | BrettMeister: should be fine then. | 04:01 |
| marccd | Swerron, ok | 04:01 |
| Blackwell | kayali: must follow the instructions for .debs? | 04:01 |
| hypa7ia | BrettMeister: i always make a separate partition for /home so i don't need to back up much if i want to reinstall | 04:02 |
| kayali | BlacKnight|: I'm googling... | 04:02 |
| Swerron | i installed some repo yesterday, now i try some commands , like whois and nslookup and doenst work | 04:02 |
| kayali | sorry, this was for Blackwell | 04:02 |
| Swerron | id like to find out how to get those cmd | 04:02 |
| marccd | Swerron, as root edit /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:02 |
| BrettMeister | So I ought to set up a single partition for ubunto and the others for Windows XP? I want to do a dual OS. | 04:02 |
| marccd | sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:02 |
| marccd | gedit has to be installed | 04:03 |
| Blackwell | BrettMeister: leave free space, the ubuntu installer will pick it up and partition accordingly, i assume. | 04:03 |
| Swerron | yep. a windows poped up | 04:03 |
| Blackwell | BrettMeister: typically linux wants a separate swap partition, keep that in mind. | 04:03 |
| BrettMeister | Right now I have defragged enought that I have about 34 gig open. Enough? | 04:04 |
| Quest-Master | that's way more than enough. :D | 04:04 |
| marccd | Swerron, ok, youll see lines like | 04:04 |
| marccd | ## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch updated software from the network # deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted | 04:04 |
| Swerron | yep, exactly | 04:04 |
| marccd | when It says uncomment, just remove the # from those "deb bla bla " lines | 04:04 |
| marccd | take out the first # | 04:04 |
| CheatersRealm | I'm bored. downloading warty is taking a while. | 04:04 |
| marccd | just do the same for all the # deb http... ocurrences in that file | 04:05 |
| Swerron | from all of them ? | 04:05 |
| Swerron | ok | 04:05 |
| Swerron | done, | 04:05 |
| marccd | just the lines that say # deb http... | 04:05 |
| Swerron | i save it and try to install whois& | 04:05 |
| marccd | ok, save it, and close gedit | 04:05 |
| Swerron | yes | 04:05 |
| BrettMeister | Sorry to be so thick here, but I really don't want to spend any more time than I have to straightening out a screw up..... | 04:05 |
| marccd | no, first you must do apt-get update | 04:05 |
| marccd | as the user root of course | 04:05 |
| dcstimm | Anyone know a nice place to live in the west that has good jobs and affordable rent? | 04:05 |

| keenan | i decided to try out hoary and so far everything's working great | 05:05 |
| keenan | except all my alsa devices seem to be shifted by one | 05:05 |
| keenan | at first everything complained "No such device" | 05:05 |
| keenan | but then i tried hw:1 instead of hw:0 and it worked | 05:06 |
| keenan | any reason why this should happen? | 05:06 |

| Wonka_Vision | I am not certain. I don't think the installer installs the kernel source, and I don't know where to find it. | 05:28 |
| Wonka_Vision | Should it be located on the cd? | 05:28 |

| occy | Ok... so is there any way I can install Windows under Ubuntu? (heh, like vmware or something, but free) | 05:29 |

| Crane | No package for kernel source? | 05:30 |

| HrdwrBoB | Crane: there is but you don't need it if you can get the nvidia driver in a package | 05:31 |
| Wonka_Vision | Then the Nvid drivers should install? | 05:31 |
| occy | it has some access to some mainframe system, so I'm sure it's doing something funky. | 05:31 |

| HrdwrBoB | Wonka_Vision: just run what I've said | 05:37 |
| Wonka_Vision | Okay I will give it a shot. | 05:37 |

| ferris | <Scorp> i do not think it is still in distro. You can download KNoppix live cd. if it runs, ubuntu will load. (they are both debian) | 06:50 |
| bob2 | no | 06:50 |
| Scorp | ferris I would but downloading a whole live CD to see if the other one will work will take too much time | 06:50 |
| HrdwrBoB | ferris: not that simple | 06:51 |
| etorix | but is ubuntu binary compatible with debian? | 06:51 |

| xskoulax | Scorp, what laptop? | 06:52 |
| Scorp | PS I'm talking about the PPC version | 06:52 |
| Scorp | PowerBook G3 Pismo | 06:52 |
| bob2 | etorix: mostly | 06:52 |
| etorix | really? | 06:52 |
| bob2 | Scorp: the keys are a hardware thing, and are supported by pbuttonsd (like on every other linux distribution) | 06:52 |
| xskoulax | Scorp, i'm pretty sure it will emulate the 2 button, i think it uses the f11 or f12 key for it | 06:53 |
| etorix | can i add my 64-bit debian sources? | 06:53 |
| bob2 | mouse emulation is also a kernel thing, and supported by ubuntu | 06:53 |

| stuNNed | evil-dna, i gave that stuff up a few years ago, like 5, heh | 12:50 |
| djtansey | xevil: my guess is that my partition table is somehow unhappy. fdisk can read it in my current setup but parted can't. i think once i solve than then i'm set. | 12:51 |

| === rory__ [~rory@wbs-165-20-11.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| djtansey | xevil: yup, but mine doesn't. it only gives me the option to erase the whole disk. even when i say manually edit. i can only assume it is because parted can't read it. the commant print in parted only says "Error: can't have partion outside the disk" | 12:55 |
| libertine | nope, i get: Login failed : Incorrect administration username or password | 12:55 |
| libertine | its weird. i had the same setup on my desktop, but root/root pwd works, im sure. | 12:55 |
| stuNNed | libertine, i found a doc on google to reset root passwd for mysql | 12:55 |

| libertine | might do it in mono/asp.net but someone reccomended java/tomcat. need to look into it all. interesting stuff though :) but dont tell anyone who shops at our skateshop that i'm a big geek | 01:02 |
| stuNNed | hehe | 01:02 |
| libertine | it's pretty popular for large systems, so i imagine it scales well | 01:03 |

| djtansey | i don't seem to have access to /dev/hda (my harddrive) even though dmesg shows it being recognized in the boot. why doesn't /dev/hda exist? | 01:04 |

| djtansey | libertine: my ubuntu install (and parted in a shell) doesn't seem able to deal with my partitions. i am replacing debian with ubuntu on a dual-boot machine and i get Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk! Information: The operating system thinks the geometry on /dev/hda is 116257/16/63. Therefore, cylinder 1024 ends at 503.999M. when i try to run parted, and when i say print it just spits out the error again. fdisk. however, | 01:07 |
| djtansey | seems happy to read it and to change the partitions though it warns The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 7294. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,and could in certain setups cause problems with:.. | 01:07 |

| rod | stuNNed, like... Im copying a huge file via a terminal while playing music in totem | 01:10 |
| libertine | i've never seen that error before, sorry. | 01:10 |
| rod | not totem starts to stutter | 01:10 |
| rod | If I would select totem, it gets a high priority so it stopts stuttering | 01:11 |
| stuNNed | rod, sure you can renice cp | 01:11 |
| libertine | rod, i dont think you can do it automatically. it'd be a metacity thing i think | 01:11 |
| rod | But imagine working in openoffice for example under high load | 01:11 |
| mjg59 | rod: You mean drop the nice level, and you can't without being root | 01:11 |
| xevil | djtansey: it's wonderful mapping new trails, huh? :) | 01:11 |
| rod | yeah, the metacity rooms were empty so I came here | 01:11 |
| rod | yeah, drop the nice level, which increases the priority | 01:12 |
| mjg59 | You need to be root to drop it below 0, so it's not going to happen | 01:12 |

| Pozac | eh. recovery mode, that is :) | 04:17 |
| Rhodan | Pozac: i can try that, what do I do if that works | 04:17 |
| Pozac | occy, I think you may have to set the 1024x768 option first in your list of resolutions in your x config | 04:18 |
| cuga | Heya, I am using accelerated video drivers (which replaced the libgl), now i can't apt-get anything cause it keeps trying to put libgl back, how can i tell it too ignore taht so i can apt stuff again? | 04:18 |

| khad | Anyone know why gxine would play encrypted DVDs but totem-xine will only play non-encryoted DVDs? THey use the same backend (libxine) right? | 04:18 |
| occy | ahh ok | 04:18 |
| crimsun | occy: then `sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart' | 04:18 |

| Pozac | Rhodan, if it complains that there's already a server running, one must be - perhaps on vty8? | 04:22 |
| Pozac | or have you installed Xvnc or something? | 04:22 |
| Rhodan | Pozac: I installed warty, amended souces.list to hoary, and upgraded to hoary, thats all I did | 04:23 |

| mojo_ | media library / organizer plugin | 06:50 |
| mojo_ | np | 06:51 |
| Mojo_Jojo | can someone tell me why linux doesnt need to be defraged :_ | 06:52 |
| mojo_ | winamp, the win derivative of amp and xamp (pre-xmms) has a media lib feature my brother uses. i was wondering if there was something like it. | 06:52 |
| anir | sjoerd: how do i sacn the channels? | 06:53 |
| anir | scan | 06:53 |
| |QuaD- | Mojo_Jojo: it is a different type of file system, journaled systems don't need to be defragged cuz they look at the journals | 06:53 |
| mojo_ | i tried rhythmbox but haven't played w/it long enough to get it set up for all media types yet | 06:53 |
| Tyche | Quad: Do I need to add something special to Xine for it to work? Not working in that either with W32codecs | 06:53 |
| kergan | Mojo_Jojo, easy the file system is jurneled | 06:53 |
| sjoerd | anir: edit -> channels | 06:53 |
| |QuaD- | Mojo: isn't xmms a copy of winamp? | 06:53 |
| kergan | |QuaD-, no | 06:53 |
| |QuaD- | Tyche: apt-get remove totem | 06:53 |
| |QuaD- | Tyche: apt-get install totem-xine | 06:53 |
| Mojo_Jojo | how does a journaled filesystem work, I want to try to explain why linux doesnt need a defrag. | 06:54 |
| mojo_ | quad/mjjj - journalized fs doesn't imply non-fragmenting to me. just implies a transaction log for recovery | 06:54 |
| anir | sjoerd: sad thing is that i cant find any edit button | 06:55 |
| mojo_ | quad: xmms is derived from xamp, derived from amp. winamp is derived from amp. think of it as a fork that crosses over platforms. | 06:55 |
| |QuaD- | mojo_: that was how it was explained to me, i don't know much about filesystems | 06:55 |
| |QuaD- | mojo_: ohh | 06:55 |
| kergan | Mojo_Jojo, it looks at the journel before looking for the file | 06:55 |
| bur[n] er_ | Mojo_Jojo: it's not journaling that does that | 06:55 |
| sjoerd | anir: in the menubar of zapping ? | 06:55 |
| bur[n] er_ | u don't have to defrag ext2 either... that's not journaled | 06:56 |
| anir | sjoerd: nope | 06:56 |
| sjoerd | anir: can you describe what the zapping window looks like for you then | 06:56 |
| kergan | Mojo_Jojo, linux also put the file back on the hdd in one peice (unlike windows a part of it at a time | 06:56 |
| sjoerd | anir: oh and which language your using ;) | 06:56 |
| mojo_ | q/mjjj: journal, to my understanding, is a lot like a transactional database.... keeps track of changes to files in a log/journal so you can roll back on failure, re-trace steps | 06:56 |
| anir | sjoerd:english | 06:56 |
| Mojo_Jojo | ok, so there is a journal (text file?) that it looks for and it lists where verything is? | 06:57 |
| |QuaD- | mojo_: no... it also keeps track of locations and whatnot | 06:57 |
| mojo_ | mjjj - i don't know that it works quite like tht. i can prolly google up a good expla. for ya... brb... | 06:57 |

| anir | sjoerd: k | 07:03 |
| Cred | kergan, so..? :) | 07:03 |
| mojo_ | quad: in a regular file system, changes are made to the file directly. new data replaces. jfs if you change part of a file, it writes the 'transaction' to a log built into the filesys. sort of like a database with transaction support. so as you update a file, it keeps the history as it goes until update complete. that way if there is a failure during an update, it can 'roll back' the changes to recover the file to its previous state | 07:03 |
| kergan | Cred, it sound work | 07:03 |
| kergan | Cred, it should work | 07:03 |
| Cred | It doesn't | 07:03 |
| kergan | hmmm cant help you | 07:03 |

| mojo_ | yw | 07:04 |
| mojo_ | if you do some googling you'll get a better handle on it | 07:04 |
| Mojo_Jojo | I'll google later i'm in school right now, I was wondering how a linux fs works, because my teacher is talking baout windows fs. | 07:05 |
| Mojo_Jojo | fs are kinda interesting :D | 07:05 |
| mojo_ | why you don't have to defrag a linux fs though i don't know. i can only guess that the filesystems are more intelligent and dynamically do self-maintenance as they go | 07:06 |
| anir | sjoerd: i cant find the scan button.. | 07:06 |
| mojo_ | it makes sense... i mean it's not too far from the idea of garbage collection in memory management | 07:06 |
| mojo_ | 'cept that it would be moving chunks around | 07:07 |
| kergan | Mojo_Jojo, just rember linux file systems are far sepir | 07:07 |
| kergan | sepoir | 07:07 |
| kergan | crap | 07:07 |

| kergan | ya | 07:07 |
| mojo_ | np | 07:07 |
| Mojo_Jojo | yeah i guess | 07:07 |
| Blackwell | yeah, automagically any linux filesystem is superior to anything else. | 07:07 |
| sjoerd | Mojo_Jojo: the principles are mostly the same | 07:07 |

| djuuss | woops.. thought distrowatch was a .org | 07:18 |
| mojo_ | distrowatch is back up | 07:18 |
| mojo_ | at least it works for me... | 07:19 |
| drspin | I'm getting ready to try out ubuntu and if I like it I'll install it today... | 07:19 |
| Mojo_Jojo | another Q whats the differance between *BSD and Linux? | 07:19 |
| mojo_ | drspin - yeah, i just got this installed yesterday | 07:19 |
| djuuss | yeah i tried distrowatch.org | 07:19 |
| Blackwell | |QuaD-: because i am very comfortable with windows and because i don't want to go through the pains that some of the people in here are going through. i am not forced to concern myself with how to get media stuff going on linux that way, and a million other small things. | 07:19 |
| |QuaD- | Mojo_Jojo: whats the difference between an apple and an orange? | 07:19 |
| djuuss | mojo_: but all they have is livecd's anyhow | 07:19 |
| Blackwell | |QuaD-: besides - i am not yet fed up with half-life 2. | 07:19 |
| |QuaD- | Blackwell: thats never a concern :) | 07:19 |
| drspin | is linux able to read/write NTFS reliably yet? | 07:20 |
| |QuaD- | Blackwell: thats the reason | 07:20 |
| Mojo_Jojo | |QuaD that much of a diferance huh..i guess i'll google around later | 07:20 |

| |QuaD- | Mojo_Jojo: both are unix clones | 07:21 |
| Blackwell | |QuaD-: yes, exactly like in windows. | 07:21 |
| xevil | drspin: as far as I know NTFS can be read but not written to in linux | 07:21 |
| |QuaD- | Blackwell: yup | 07:21 |
| Mojo_Jojo | |QuaD ah ok | 07:21 |
| mojo_ | mjjj: bsd is derived from the 'berkely standard distribution'. back when tv's used tubes and phones had cords, at&t bell labs worked with berkely university on unix development | 07:21 |
| spikeb | it can be written | 07:21 |
| spikeb | just dont depend on it not trashing everything | 07:21 |
| Blackwell | xevil: can be written with that "lifted and jailed" ntfs driver thing. | 07:21 |
| djuuss | xevil: thats bs | 07:21 |
| mojo_ | the univ released it's own distribution. berkely is where much of the current networking and security in unix/linux, and much development on internet protocols took place | 07:22 |
| drspin | xevil: I know that's how it used to be... shame I have a 50GB partition filled with music that I won't be able to modify :/ | 07:22 |
| djuuss | xevil: it writes it blindfolded | 07:22 |
| convertor | Mojo_, berkley system development.... | 07:22 |
| xevil | he did say reliably... | 07:22 |
| Mojo_Jojo | mojo_ ok :) | 07:22 |
| mojo_ | bsd is a gen-u-ine unix derivative, variant, flavor, whatever | 07:22 |
| Blackwell | drspin: irc lesson: don't rely on information on irc. | 07:22 |
| mojo_ | linux was based on a small os called minix, which i think that unix was actually modelled on in some ways. i am not so sure on my 'lore' there... | 07:22 |
| Blackwell | drspin: if you google, you will stumble over that project which incorporates the original ntfs driver file(s) to access ntfs filesystems with read/write access. | 07:23 |
| |QuaD- | mojo_: WRONG | 07:23 |
| FITH | Eh? no, Linux was born because Linus disagreed with the author of Minix.. Andrew Taunenbaum | 07:23 |
| Blackwell | mojo_: better update :) | 07:23 |
| djuuss | yeah you rolled a low skillcheck 1d6 there | 07:23 |
| drspin | blackwell: I know -- I ask to get more than one reponse so I'll be better equipped for research | 07:23 |
| Blackwell | FITH: because? | 07:23 |
| mojo_ | but anyway, linux was an os project written by linux torvalds inspired by minix, a unix-like OS. the kernel is the core of the os. it was so unix-like in structure that it was largely compatible | 07:23 |
| |QuaD- | linux and BSD are unix CLONES.... linux was built of minix, unix and minix had little or nothing to do wiht eachother | 07:23 |
| drspin | blackwell: thanks | 07:23 |
| |QuaD- | FITH: WRONG | 07:24 |
| FITH | Linus didn't think that a microkernel was the right design | 07:24 |
| |QuaD- | FITH: wrong again | 07:24 |
| FITH | for a unix to be built from, etc | 07:24 |

| djuuss | no | 07:24 |
| Blackwell | FITH: so in order to do better he wrote his own? | 07:24 |
| |QuaD- | zenwhen: wrong | 07:24 |
| |QuaD- | Minix was used as a teaching os | 07:24 |
| |QuaD- | never meant to be a primary os | 07:24 |
| Kamion | Linus wrote Linux 'cos he felt like writing an operating system. The disagreement with Tanenbaum was incidental. | 07:24 |
| FITH | Blackwell: Yeah, the archives of their conversations at the time are around | 07:24 |
| mojo_ | besides that, most of the 'commands' and such in linux are a suite of programs and utilities that run on top of the os. much of them come from the gnu project, which stands for GNU's Not Unix. A recursive acronym (a common geek humor thing). | 07:24 |
| Blackwell | astonishing what changes information goes through, once it is in someones head. | 07:24 |
| |QuaD- | the ideas behind it were used to build linux, but it wasn't based of minix | 07:24 |
| |QuaD- | Kamion: exactly :) | 07:25 |
| mojo_ | the GNU project aimed to write a free 'clone' of all the unix utilities and eventually the whole operating system. | 07:25 |
| Blackwell | FITH: you said linus developed linux BECAUSE of a disagreement. that is something i have never heard before. | 07:25 |
| djuuss | there was UNIX but it was wayexpen$ive so they created minix. Linux felt that minix $ucked a$$, and built linux | 07:25 |
| djuuss | the first linux is Linus :P | 07:25 |
| |QuaD- | Linus and tanenbaum disagreed but NEVER was that the reason for linux | 07:25 |
| djuuss | true | 07:25 |
| |QuaD- | djuuss: minix was meant as a teaching os NOT as a unix clone | 07:26 |
| Blackwell | mojo_: the gnu project, as i understand it, provides many of the tools that nowadays we come to expect in a unix, i guess. but it started out as providing free alternatives i heard, yes. | 07:26 |

| Blackwell | yeah, me too, and proud of it, dammit. | 07:26 |
| spikeb | hahah | 07:26 |
| FITH | Hmm... true I think I did overstate that... They disagreed and Linus decided to write an OS.. two seperate facts... If they had agreed Linus might have helped with Minux | 07:27 |
| djuuss | |QuaD-: i know, but they made minix, as a teaching os, instead of unix, which could be used as a teaching os, but was way to expensive for that purpose | 07:27 |

| zenwhen | |QuaD-, I am nearly positive I read Linu was using MINIX when he wrote Linux. | 07:27 |
| |QuaD- | djuuss: minix was never meant to have anything to do with unix. unix was closed source (i believe) therefore not a teaching os | 07:27 |
| FITH | "AT: I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is a fundamental error. Be thankful you are not my student. You would not get a high grade for such a design :-)" | 07:27 |

| mojo_ | etorix: just built this amd athalon64 system yesterday and installed ubuntu-64 | 08:23 |
| etorix | i cant tell u its ubuntu-friendly on 32-bit tho | 08:23 |

| mojo_ | etorix: it put on the x86_64 kernel, and i was wondering how to change it to the amd64 kernel. i 'installed' it via synaptic but it didn't 'take'. | 08:23 |
| FITH | Hmm, I'll have to try out the XFCE4.2 stuff when I get home... I've got both a 32-bit and a AMD64-bit box to play with | 08:24 |
| etorix | ah .. i debootstrapped a debian-amd64 awhile ago .. this is the first formal 64-bit distro | 08:24 |
| mojo_ | it seems to be running just fine. i just saw the _amd64 versions when scanning the software in synaptic and thought i may as well start out with the properly optimized kernel image | 08:24 |
| etorix | i havent got round to kernel-changing yet | 08:25 |
| pdaoust | now here's a curious problem: whenever I go to a page with Japanese encoding -- NHK, MegaTokyo, Google Japan -- Firefox dies on me. anyone else have this issue? | 08:25 |
| etorix | yeah .. right | 08:25 |

| ska1 | fun to use strange keys inside vim, as if like magic, emacs is also equally good, but my first love was vim, so can't change now though | 08:31 |
| etorix | its a bit slow innit? | 08:31 |
| drspin | pdaoust: not sure -- the file manager (nautilus I think) will accurately gather properties for files and whatnot | 08:31 |
| pdaoust | FITH: yeah, I think so too | 08:31 |
| ska1 | drspin: run the command "file /path/to/nts/file" | 08:31 |
| pdaoust | drspin: in a non-root account? | 08:31 |
| FITH | i.e. if you can do "cp /ntfs-stuff/britney.mp3 /tmp" then it should just work | 08:31 |

| drspin | LOL | 08:37 |
| drspin | it was Nsync | 08:37 |
| drspin | ;) | 08:37 |
| drspin | just because it was the first one in my music folder | 08:37 |
| drspin | ;) | 08:37 |
| mojo_ | i try to get most my music lossless, convert my shns to flac. shame you can't just convert an mp3 to another (lossy) format w/o furter degradation | 08:38 |
| drspin | a liveCD should also include a flash and shockwave plugin... | 08:38 |
| drspin | mojo_ it's because the frequencies that are removed from say an OGG file are very different than those from an MP3 file | 08:38 |
| pdaoust | drspin: unfortunately Macromedia hasn't released Shockwave for Linux yet... you can get it working with Crossover Plugin, I've heard, but that costs $ | 08:39 |
| sjoerd | drspin: please provide a free flash and shockwave plugin | 08:39 |
| mojo_ | drspin: yeah, i know (but thx). it's just a shame thats all. if i could, i'd just conv. them all and be done with mp3s | 08:39 |
| drspin | sjoerd: yes... I'm working on that as fast windowmaker makes updates ;) | 08:40 |
| spikeb | lol | 08:40 |
| sjoerd | drspin: and please solve the patent issues with mp3 and stuff like that too :) | 08:40 |
| spikeb | there is a free flash plugin | 08:40 |
| pdaoust | okay, mroth, I think I know what your problem is -- I bet you anything there's an evil invisible panel applet that's preventing your taskbar from expanding any further. Fill up your taskbar with tasks (if it's not already full to its maximum 200px) and right-click on the empty space immediately after the taskbar... I bet you there's an invisible icon there | 08:40 |
| spikeb | swfdec | 08:40 |
| sjoerd | drspin: see http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats | 08:40 |
| spikeb | patents on MP3 expire in 06 or 07, as well | 08:41 |
| spikeb | not too shabby | 08:41 |
| sjoerd | spikeb: last time i tried that it gave more problems then it solved unfortunately... | 08:41 |
| mroth | pdaoust: if there is, i cant find it.. I've tried moving the panel applet all around and it hasnt made a difference, and i cant find anything invis | 08:41 |
| === mojo_ raises eybrow at pdaoust, smiles and nods thinking "good idea" | ||
| mroth | i tried jumping it up to the top panel too, no diff | 08:41 |
| pdaoust | mroth: poopy | 08:42 |
| mroth | yeah :/ | 08:42 |
| mroth | this happened on my laptop once in debian, but it went away after a reboot | 08:42 |
| pdaoust | mroth: well, there was my one good idea... my brain is now empty for the day :-/ | 08:42 |
| spikeb | heh on my box swfdec is only good for pretending to do flash | 08:42 |
| drspin | sjoerd: while I'm at it I'll go ahead and solve the usability issues and I'll sue SCO and I'll develop a kernel that can recompile itself on the fly without a reboot... | 08:42 |
| spikeb | it doesnt actually do it, but it keeps firefox happy | 08:42 |
| mroth | pdaoust: heh, thanks for trying | 08:42 |
| pdaoust | mroth: no prob | 08:42 |
| Haukkari | Does ubuntu have mini install cd's? | 08:42 |
| Haukkari | Those would be nice | 08:42 |

| Haukkari | I don't want to download the big and fat 600 megabyte cd. :/ | 08:43 |
| mroth | i dont think they current make any mini-cds.. nor a network-install thing, which is too bad, since i know a lot of people who want that | 08:43 |

| etorix | i installed xdialog .. that went ok | 09:21 |

| jocco | or something for running windows applications? | 09:22 |

| mojo_ | Gnomemeeting... man i hated that on Mandrake cuz it kept putting it's flippin icon on my desktop even after i'd delete it. Other that that I never used it ;) | 10:00 |
| littlepenguin | gdesklets... try to see if anybody has a deb pkg org repository for it | 10:00 |
| CheatersRealm | apparently I got 2.5 minutes left. | 10:00 |
| mmpf | bye | 10:01 |
| Pozac | CheatersRealm, much of the difference between the X servers lies in partly the licensing, and partly in the composite extension.. so besides the 'normal' opensource license and eyecandy, xorg = xfree86 | 10:02 |
| etorix | ok .. theres a sticky moment when you stop xfree86 in intit.d | 10:02 |
| etorix | init.d | 10:02 |
| etorix | im looking for the command | 10:02 |
| spikeb | that's a stickey wicket | 10:02 |
