| K-Rich | my main sstem is Debian SID if that's any condolese | 12:40 |
| |QuaD- | here is my opinion, we should not be telling people how to upgrade to hoary, because if they were the type of user who should be using it, then they would also know to get the information on how to upgrade | 12:40 |
| |QuaD- | K-Rich: sid is more stable then this | 12:40 |
| |QuaD- | i ran it for 3 years, never broke | 12:40 |

| Kamion | |QuaD-: if the package hasn't been changed in Ubuntu, within a day or so | 12:51 |
| Pozac | AMIGrAve, hmm.. seems ok | 12:51 |
| Kamion | |QuaD-: if the package has been changed, whenever a developer gets round to doing the merge | 12:51 |
| AMIGrAve | Pozac: should i do an apt-get upgrade instead of update ? | 12:52 |
| |QuaD- | hasn't been changed? | 12:52 |
| Pozac | AMIGrAve, no, the upgrade downloads and installs the updates | 12:54 |
| crimsun | Kamion: I suppose you could do something akin to #3426, syncing from Debian | 12:54 |
| |QuaD- | so if hoary gets things after sid, why does hoary break more often? | 12:54 |

| |QuaD- | Kamion: so how long until i should apt-get install bittornado | 12:56 |
| crimsun | Kamion: in any case, it's not an issue; the version in sid is newer than in hoary/universe, so one could use that as rationale to update | 12:56 |

| Nominus | hi, how should i set /etc/network/interfaces for wirless network with WEP and hidden essid? man interfaces keeps silence about this options. | 01:03 |
| ChrisC_ | |quad: GUI for sure, CLI does it too I think, lemmee check | 01:03 |
| Nominus | *wireless | 01:03 |
| Pozac | ChrisC_, Everything is logged :) | 01:03 |
| ChrisC_ | well, it's hard to check because it seems to retain the password for 5 minutes (i.e. no prompt) | 01:03 |
| ChrisC_ | Pozac: I don't understand | 01:04 |
| |QuaD- | ChrisC_: never use gui utilities that require root access.... though,if you do sudo *command* it will require your user pass | 01:04 |
| |QuaD- | if you set it up to use root | 01:04 |
| |QuaD- | then you use su and give your root password | 01:04 |

| Pozac | ChrisC_, read this: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo | 01:04 |
| ChrisC_ | Hmmm, OK, I did a "sudo ls" just to test it, expecting root password to work, but in fact my user password worked. Now how does the line up with what you were saying? | 01:05 |
| kevin | by the way, does anyone know how to update the apt repository | 01:05 |
| kevin | I forget | 01:05 |
| ChrisC_ | Pozac: OK, will read, brb | 01:05 |
| Pozac | crimsun, ok.. so I'll be changing some deps, posting a patch? | 01:05 |
| |QuaD- | ChrisC_: it is exactly what i said | 01:05 |
| crimsun | Pozac: construct a hoary chroot using debootstrap, then build mcs from source. | 01:06 |
| crimsun | Pozac: that's essentially it | 01:06 |
| rwabel | pozac: I achieved to install mono on hoary | 01:06 |
| crimsun | Pozac: of course you'll want to make sure you have the most current binary-available version of debootstrap | 01:06 |

I want "root/system level things" like user admin and network services and the like to require a different password than my user account, just like in every other *nix system I've ever used.

| kebac | carajean: what's your problem | 02:26 |
| ogra | carajean: we dont know, if you dont ask :) | 02:27 |
| ogra | rcouto: what is autopackage ? | 02:27 |
| === Se7h heidi @ sic (lol) | ||
| Se7h | sorry | 02:27 |
| rcouto | ogra, it is supposed to be a layer over package management apps, like apt or rpm | 02:28 |
| rcouto | that would be independent of distribution | 02:28 |
| rcouto | and have some pretty sweet long term goals | 02:29 |
| rcouto | check it: http://autopackage.org/ui-vision.html | 02:29 |
| carajean | um i am so new to linux its not funny i just installed it today and need so help installin java and just installing other programs | 02:29 |
| ogra | rcouto: i dont think so, but launchpad (another company project of canonical) has a similar approach for the automated creation of packages from source https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/ | 02:30 |
| carajean | but i dont know where to go to access the files i download to install them | 02:31 |
| ogra | carajean: grab the java package from there: http://wiki.arslinux.com/Ubuntu#Java_1.5 | 02:32 |
| theNeonGod | can't get gruler to compile in ubuntu... installed build-essential. error: | 02:32 |

| theNeonGod | make[1] : *** [install-data-yes] Error 127 | 02:32 |
| rcouto | ogra, the thing that got my attention about autopackage is the potential use cases that it have | 02:32 |

| ogra | carajean: move it to your homefolder, then open a terminal and type: sudo dpkg -i sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0_i386.deb | 02:33 |
| rcouto | i specially liked the drag a .desktop (with extra package meta info) from a web page to the gnome panel to install an app :) | 02:33 |
| ogra | rcouto: there is something similar in hoary soon.... | 02:34 |
| rcouto | !!!! | 02:34 |
| rcouto | i am looking forward to it then! :) | 02:34 |
| carajean | ok how do i move it to my home folder??? and where is it originally stored?? | 02:35 |
| ogra | rcouto: but with some more control from the package managerr, no drag n drop from websites though | 02:35 |
| kingsley | imka: Typing "totem-xine /dev/dvd" says "There is no plugin to handle this movie." Suggestion(s)? | 02:35 |
| ogra | carajean: it should appear on your desktop after download | 02:35 |
| carajean | oh ok | 02:35 |
| ogra | carajean: your homefolder is the first item in the computer menu | 02:36 |

| rcouto | ogra, is it possible for us mortals to help with this rosetta project? i can help a bit with portuguese translations | 02:37 |
| ogra | carajean: before you install the package make sure multiverse is enabled in synaptic | 02:37 |
| rcouto | :) | 02:37 |
| ogra | carajean: yep | 02:38 |
| ogra | rcouto: sure, everyone can help | 02:38 |
| ogra | rcouto: there will also be other programs in the launchpad...really great stuff, a version control system that cares for your sourcecode and creates packages for all distros automatically | 02:39 |
| ogra | rcouto: an really easy to use bugtracking system .... etc | 02:40 |

| ogra | ChrisC_: yep.... thats for security reasons.... | 02:48 |
| calc | is there anything you have to do to make gnome 2.9.3 not make the items in the taskbar really small? | 02:49 |
| dudio | fsck, rosetta is borked today as well... | 02:49 |
| calc | they used to be bigger | 02:49 |
| dudio | or it might just be this translation thats borked... | 02:50 |
| calc | now they just show the icon and one letter | 02:50 |
| dudio | its weird, on warty gnome showed longer taskbar entries with more text for me | 02:50 |
| dudio | in hoary its just like calc said | 02:50 |
| calc | it also added grouping which is fine | 02:51 |
| calc | like kde and winxp have | 02:51 |
| Seq | calc: right click on the task applet, and increase the minimal size | 02:51 |
| === mojo [~mojo@220-244-212-78-vic.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| carajean | ok i downloaded the file but dont see it in desktop but i do see another java file i downloaded but its a bin but it is in the home folder will it work the same | 02:51 |
| ogra | dudio, calc: look in bugzilla.... if there is not already one, file one :I | 02:51 |
| Seq | calc: im not sure why the display behaviour changed either | 02:51 |
| ogra | :) | 02:51 |
| calc | Seq: the minimal size adjusts the size of the taskbar itself not the items in it | 02:52 |
| dudio | im really not fond of grouping myself... | 02:52 |
| ogra | carajean: i dont know what you downloaded before.... | 02:52 |
| Seq | calc it should adjust the size of the items in it too when you start setting the size big enough | 02:52 |
| calc | er well i don't really want a huge taskbar, just items being a bit wider | 02:52 |
| calc | like eg 2.9.2 | 02:52 |

| dudio | i figure its hoary specific | 02:53 |
| === calc wonders if the gnome gods added that to gconf as usual no ease of use way to get at it | ||
| erich | Anyone here running hoary with an ATI mobility? Can you run "glxgears"? | 02:53 |
| Seq | yeah, and im not sure why the behaviour changed. right now i set the minimum size to the full size of the panel, and it just keeps dividing it as neccessary | 02:53 |
| Seq | erich: i am | 02:53 |
| mojo | Can someone tell me what's wrong with nvidia driver in the latest Hoary?? | 02:53 |
| erich | because i can run for example the "skyrocket" screensaver accelerated, but glxgears locks up my system | 02:54 |
| mojo | I can't run glxgears | 02:54 |
| calc | Seq: huh? the size adjust is how big vertically to use for the taskbar | 02:54 |
| calc | so you make the taskbar the fullsize of your screen? | 02:54 |
| carajean | um jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586.bin | 02:54 |
| mojo | It all the times said fail RGB display 0:0 blah blah... | 02:54 |
| ogra | carajean: you need the file from the page i gave you, this is built for ubuntu | 02:54 |
| dudio | im so not used to having a decent graphics card heh | 02:54 |
| erich | mojo: can you run other opengl apps? | 02:54 |
| carajean | ok i will try and find it | 02:54 |
| crimsun | mojo: nothing's wrong with the nvidia driver. | 02:54 |
| dudio | my dear old voodoo3 used to score 3-10fps on glxgears :D | 02:54 |
| ogra | carajean: the name is sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0_i386.deb | 02:55 |
| erich | mojo: try /usr/lib/xscreensaver/skyrocket - odes that work? | 02:55 |
| dudio | now im getting 60fps on maximized size | 02:55 |
| mojo | crimsun: I can't run glxgears any more | 02:55 |

| Seq | erich: apparently i can't run glxgears | 02:55 |

| crimsun | mojo: did you restart X Windows? | 02:56 |
| erich | Seq: but you are running pure hoary? because i'm running mostly debian unstable, so i don't want to file a bug. | 02:56 |
| mojo | yes | 02:56 |
| Seq | erich: yeah | 02:56 |
| crimsun | mojo: there's a bug for it on bugzilla; did you check there? | 02:56 |
| === calc doesn't see anywhere to adjust it in gconf either | ||
| mojo | crimsun: are u sure nvidia solved in the latest release? | 02:56 |
| mojo | crimsun: yes, i did, no such of my bugs | 02:57 |
| erich | crimsun: can you still run glxgears with xorg and nvidia? because it doesn't work with ati | 02:57 |
| dudio | which reminds me, need to post a comment on a bug *_* | 02:57 |
| erich | xscreensavers i tested work, scorched3d works here, but not glxgears which locks up my box. | 02:57 |

| dudio | dependent even | 03:21 |
| mojo | dep | 03:21 |

| lordan | Don't have access to any winDOS boxes atm, so .. | 05:44 |
| Cloudchaser_ | $ sudo smbmount //chrisibm/chrisibmc /mnt/ChrisC | 05:44 |

| lathiat | add -o username=user,password=blah | 05:45 |
| lathiat | and read what the errors say, they do mean things | 05:45 |
| Crane | carajean: it's easier to install windows first | 05:45 |
| newbiewan | carajean, as I understand, Windows installation will wipe your Linux patitions and data. | 05:45 |

| Cloudchaser_ | ok that worked ;) | 05:46 |
| carajean | yeah lol | 05:46 |

| lathiat | ctd: oh it asks for the password doesn tit? | 05:46 |
| lathiat | meh | 05:46 |
| Cloudchaser_ | still can't browse it from the windows network file viewer though | 05:46 |
| ctd | lathiat: yeah | 05:46 |
| carajean | so install windows then create a partition with.........anything out there that free???? | 05:46 |
| lathiat | Cloudchaser_: yes none of thsoe thing speople have been describing have anything to do with fixing the windows browser | 05:46 |
| Cloudchaser_ | ctd why is it ba? | 05:46 |
| Cloudchaser_ | bad? | 05:46 |

| lathiat | Cloudchaser_: just you | 05:47 |
| lathiat | ctd: yeh indeed | 05:47 |
| lathiat | ctd: ln -s ~/.bash_history /dev/null :) | 05:47 |
| newbiewan | carajean, pclinuxos livecd has partitioning software based on Mandrakelinux with nice graphical interface. | 05:48 |
| Cloudchaser_ | so.. lathiat any idea how to fix it? | 05:48 |
| ctd | lathiat: or 20 other ways of avoiding .bash_history | 05:48 |
| lordan | Cloudchaser_, are you never able to connect using Nautilus, or it works sometimes? | 05:49 |
| newbiewan | carajean, start pclinuxos installation, get into the partitioning, make partitions resizing Windows partition and then exit without finishing installation. | 05:49 |
| carajean | so do i run this in linux but how do i keep windows from takin control | 05:49 |
| Cloudchaser_ | lordan, never | 05:49 |
| === snipes420 [~snipes@d199-126-63-201.abhsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Cloudchaser_ | i just did most of samba configuration today though | 05:49 |
| Cloudchaser_ | and from command line it all seems to be working | 05:49 |
| lordan | hm.. I have problems connecting to Windows shares 'from time to time'.. | 05:49 |
| CheatersRealm | my box is still messed up from my botched upgrade to hoary :) | 05:49 |
| newbiewan | carajean, boot up into linux live cd, it controls the partitioning - after Windows is installed on the whole drive. | 05:50 |
| Cloudchaser_ | including mounting the share with name instead of ip address | 05:50 |
| Cloudchaser_ | so samba seems to be working ok | 05:50 |
| carajean | oh ok and this will work | 05:50 |
| CheatersRealm | can someone /msg me your .xinitrc ? | 05:50 |
| Crane | windows doesn't work well with others | 05:50 |
| Cloudchaser_ | but | 05:50 |
| Cloudchaser_ | i can't ping the pc by name for some reason | 05:50 |
| Cloudchaser_ | one thing i don't like about ubuntu | 05:51 |
| Cloudchaser_ | is there's no services gui | 05:51 |
| snipes420 | does the ubuntu website have an image I can put on my website so that I can link to them? | 05:51 |
| newbiewan | I have done it making a Windows XP partition down from 40GB to 156 with the rest Mandrake, pclinuxos has the same software but only one CD. | 05:51 |
| Xenguy | snipes420: good idea | 05:51 |
| lordan | Cloudchaser_, there's a services gui in gnome-system-tools | 05:52 |
| newbiewan | carajean, you will make a swap partition and at leat two more: / and /home. That makes 4 including Windows. | 05:52 |
| lordan | Not sure why it's not in ubuntu. | 05:52 |
| Cloudchaser_ | lordan, so i can apt get that? | 05:53 |
| lordan | More like compile g-s-t yourself. | 05:53 |
| carajean | ooooh ok so fresh install windows run livecd and then partition and install linux | 05:53 |
| Cloudchaser_ | lordan, i found it in apt-cache search..i have to compile it myself? | 05:53 |
| === Colin_ is now known as usual | ||
| lordan | Think I read someplace that the idea was that most users don't need to mess around with services. | 05:54 |
| lordan | g-s-t itself is in ubuntu | 05:54 |
| lordan | but only some of the tools | 05:54 |
| Cloudchaser_ | thats a presumption that is wrong really | 05:54 |
| Cloudchaser_ | because i don't mess with services but i want to be able to shut off things | 05:54 |
| Cloudchaser_ | or start things | 05:54 |
| Cloudchaser_ | simply | 05:54 |
| Cloudchaser_ | oh | 05:55 |
| newbiewan | carajean, use one linux livecd to partition, then boot ubuntu or other linux to install. I used this method to clear out SuSE since pclinuxos has a nice partitioner. Then I put anopther Linux on for experimenting. | 05:55 |
| lordan | Cloudchaser_, I tend to agree. | 05:55 |
| Cloudchaser_ | i don't think i have allthe stuff i need to compile htings | 05:55 |
| Cloudchaser_ | and i won't have time for a bit to try it | 05:55 |
| lordan | having to update-rc.d blah blah blah gets on my nerves at times | 05:55 |
| lordan | especially when you upgrade stuff. | 05:55 |
| Cloudchaser_ | but in the meantime..i can mount the shares from command and can't access them with the gui | 05:55 |
| Xenguy | snipes420: found this; not sure how useful it is: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Artwork | 05:56 |
| carajean | ok im slowly getting this since i just installed linux for the first time in my life this morning | 05:56 |
| lordan | Cloudchaser_, I do have that problem at times | 05:56 |
| snipes420 | thanks Xenguy, that looks like what i was looking for :) | 05:56 |
| Cloudchaser_ | i wonder if i restart and try it | 05:57 |
| lordan | but sometimes it works fine, albeit sloooooow | 05:57 |
| ChrisC_ | hey does anyone know what the Ubuntu position is on Wine? I see it's not an approved package in the repository. | 05:57 |
| Crane | I've gotCloudchaser: the same problem | 05:57 |
| Cloudchaser_ | i remember back when i used kde file browser | 05:57 |
| Cloudchaser_ | i had same sort of issue | 05:57 |
| Cloudchaser_ | until i used the super user file browser | 05:57 |
| Cloudchaser_ | so | 05:57 |
| Cloudchaser_ | do you think its the whole sudo thing thats the issue? | 05:57 |
| === DeviantDog [~Samchi@adsl-8-22-70.mia.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| lordan | hm.. that's interesting, I hardly ever had problems browsing the n/w in kde. | 05:57 |
| DeviantDog | anyone here have doom3 installed in ubuntu warty? | 05:58 |
| newbiewan | carajean, best to try a few, then set up something more stable for the longer term. I haven't installed ubuntu yet, got part way thru its install and stopped at the partitioning issue. | 05:58 |
| Cloudchaser_ | i could browse it but couldn't write things | 05:58 |
| lordan | smb worked fine.. ssh (fish://) worked fine. | 05:58 |
| Xenguy | snipes420: this looks cool - http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Picubuntu-recommended.png | 05:58 |
| lordan | Sounds like a permission issue on the other end then. | 05:58 |
| Cloudchaser_ | the permissions of the shares in the gui are "root, root" | 05:58 |
| Cloudchaser_ | well i'm not root | 05:58 |
| CheatersRealm | can someone please tell me what is in their .xinitrc? | 05:59 |
| CheatersRealm | (by default) | 05:59 |
| lordan | CheatersRealm, absolutely nothing | 05:59 |
| CheatersRealm | lordan, are you sure? | 05:59 |
| ChrisC_ | DeviantDog: I tried but gave up; it went into a weird X mode after the splash screen | 05:59 |
| CheatersRealm | cuz it loads that top and bottom bar thing | 05:59 |
| lordan | file doesn't even exist in my $HOME | 05:59 |
| ChrisC_ | note: I'm a n00b | 05:59 |
| carajean | yeah i ran into that root cannot be found thing earlier when i tried to install linux in the ame partition it was in before i had to reformat windows | 06:00 |
| Cloudchaser_ | lordan, its a windows pc and hmm let me set up a user named root | 06:00 |
| DeviantDog | I have it working I just can't get sound | 06:00 |

| DeviantDog | ati 9800 pro | 06:02 |
| lordan | CloudChaser, you need to specify the username of an account that exists on your windows box | 06:02 |
| lordan | and has write access to the share | 06:02 |
| Cloudchaser_ | i did | 06:02 |
| Cloudchaser_ | i made a user | 06:02 |
| Cloudchaser_ | and gave them admin rights | 06:02 |
| lordan | and when you connect are you prompted for a password? | 06:02 |
| carajean | it did help thanks i will hang around im not givin up on linux yet plus it only been a day windows has been rapin me for years | 06:03 |
| ChrisC_ | ah, I've got nvidia, funny thing is that nvidia is generally considered to work better on Linux than ATI. Oh well. | 06:03 |

| Grexo | i guess it aint ready for primetime yet | 06:31 |
| da_bon_bon | Grexo: man u did that wrong.. | 06:31 |
| da_bon_bon | Grexo: its much better than the hyped distros like FC and SuSE | 06:31 |
| lordan | Grexo, "works for me" | 06:31 |
| Mojo_Jojo | Hi, i'm having troubles getting my wireless nic working, I have an averatec 6100 laptop. | 06:31 |
| Grexo | da: Prolly | 06:31 |
| Grexo | da: Grub needs fixin | 06:31 |
| CheatersRealm | Grexo, I'm pretty sure grub is plenty capable of dual booting windows and linux | 06:32 |
| da_bon_bon | Grexo: mine worked out of box. | 06:32 |
| === etorix [~etorix@usr28-har.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| CheatersRealm | perhaps you had a mistake? | 06:32 |
| Grexo | ubuntu is nice but not for me | 06:33 |
| Grexo | ill stick to windows | 06:33 |
| Grexo | for now | 06:33 |
| Grexo | i got 3 cds for ubuntu in the mail | 06:33 |
| Grexo | ill give em out | 06:33 |
| Grexo | ubuntu has promise | 06:33 |
| lordan | Grexo, you said you installed hoary right? | 06:33 |
| Grexo | but not ready yet for primetime | 06:33 |
| Grexo | lordan: Warty + hoaryt | 06:33 |
| Grexo | it happened with both | 06:33 |
| CheatersRealm | Grexo, I'm pretty sure warty is ready for primetime. | 06:33 |
| Cloudchaser | ok lordan, rebooted..mounted the share via command line, then went to "Computer" Filesystem/mnt/share...see the share there and DC it and got the waiting circle thingy | 06:34 |
| CheatersRealm | Grexo, you running a non-mainstream mobo or something? | 06:34 |
| Grexo | no | 06:34 |
| CheatersRealm | wierd. | 06:34 |
| lordan | Cloudchaser, give it some time | 06:34 |
| lordan | it can be really slow at times | 06:34 |
| CheatersRealm | well I don't have time to troubleshoot, because I must be up in 5 and a half hours to swim | 06:34 |
| Cloudchaser | do i have to set something so the filebrowser uses username/pw like sudo it? | 06:34 |
| CheatersRealm | Grexo, your problems can probably be pretty easily fixed with re-installing grubn | 06:34 |

| idge | i have dual PIII 550s | 08:42 |
| idge | its an ols server board | 08:42 |
| bob2 | install the linux-image-686-smp package | 08:42 |
| idge | "old" server board | 08:42 |
| idge | and that will do it? | 08:43 |
| bob2 | yes | 08:43 |
| plasmo | mmm theme works fine. just that u cant install it with the theme installer | 08:43 |
| plasmo | just untar it | 08:43 |
| Mojo_Jojo | how did you do it? | 08:43 |
| plasmo | and copy edge2 and edge3 in .theme | 08:43 |
| idge | awsome!...thanks bob2 | 08:44 |
| plasmo | .themes* | 08:44 |
| heero17 | :O | 08:44 |
| Mojo_Jojo | oh ok i'll try again :) | 08:44 |
| plasmo | alrite goodluck :) | 08:44 |
| Mojo_Jojo | sweet it works thanks plasmo :) | 08:45 |
| plasmo | cool :) | 08:45 |
| Mojo_Jojo | do you know how to change the splash screens? | 08:46 |
| plasmo | yeah | 08:46 |
| plasmo | hold on | 08:46 |
| Mojo_Jojo | ok | 08:46 |
| idge | hey bob2....is there a such thing as a "Ubuntu Repair Disk"??? | 08:46 |
| bob2 | to do what? | 08:46 |
| plasmo | gconf-editor > /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image | 08:47 |
| idge | just in case i screw somthing up :-) | 08:47 |
| idge | i have been known to do that before! | 08:47 |
| bob2 | but, what do you want it to do? | 08:48 |
| bob2 | I take it windows has some sort of repair disk that 'fixes' things? | 08:48 |
| idge | oh i see......I was thinking more along the lines of a "All-In-One" disc | 08:48 |
| bob2 | what woulkd it do? | 08:48 |
| plasmo | Mojo_Jojo: /usr/share/pixmaps/splash is where the images are at | 08:49 |
| bob2 | you can boot the ubuntu install disc to get a shell on a broken system so you can repair it. | 08:49 |
| idge | well.....in windows...you can just put in the CD and it will ask you if you want to re-install or repair | 08:49 |

| bob2 | idge: what does 'repair' mean, tho? | 08:49 |
| arrrrrr | does anyone know how to set dual head in Ubuntu? | 08:49 |
| Mojo_Jojo | so do I rename the file or just specify the location? | 08:49 |
| arrrrrr | someone from this forum shows me his desktop photo, with three monitors.. | 08:50 |
| bob2 | arrrrrr: there's nothing in the wiki/faq? | 08:50 |
| arrrrrr | i wonder if he is here now... | 08:50 |
| plasmo | either rename or specify the filename in gconf editor | 08:50 |
| arrrrrr | i just need his XF86Config file.... | 08:50 |
| arrrrrr | he has 3 monitors. | 08:50 |

| idge | bob2: I installed that package you told me about...now just reboot? | 08:52 |
| arrrrrr | anyone has the XF86Configuration for dual head? | 08:52 |
| Mojo_Jojo | ahh ok i'm gonna see if it worked :D brb | 08:52 |
| plasmo | Mojo_Jojo: current ubuntu ones look good enough | 08:52 |
| bob2 | idge: it's extremely unlikely your system will ever just become unbootable for no reason, but if it does, you can almost always repair it without reinstalling | 08:52 |
| bob2 | arrrrrr: you checked the FAQ and wiki and there was nothing about it? | 08:52 |
| bob2 | idge: yup | 08:52 |
| idge | bob2: ok cool.... | 08:52 |

| bob2 | it's on sourceforge, iirc | 08:55 |

| StolenShoeBox | ya nvidia | 08:58 |

| StolenShoeBox | yes | 08:58 |
| StolenShoeBox | heh | 08:58 |
| bob2 | known bug | 08:58 |
| StolenShoeBox | anything I can do? | 08:59 |
| StolenShoeBox | I havent even installed the nvidia driver thow | 08:59 |
| arrrrrr | would radeon work with ubuntu? | 08:59 |
| arrrrrr | i have radeon x300 | 08:59 |
| bob2 | not sure, maybe there's a workaround in the bts | 08:59 |
| bob2 | arrrrrr: yes | 08:59 |
| etorix | someone said a fix was in | 08:59 |
| lathiat | Is this for the binary or open source drivers? | 09:00 |
| etorix | it installs badly | 09:00 |
| etorix | its one symlink | 09:00 |
| lathiat | Cus my binary ones are working fine.. haven't tried the open source ones wince i upgraded to hoary | 09:00 |
| arrrrrr | my friend had a really bad experience with ubuntu. it wipes off the windows partition | 09:01 |
| arrrrrr | how can that happen? | 09:01 |
| arrrrrr | i know ubuntu doesn't ask you which partition you want to install to.... | 09:01 |
| StolenShoeBox | he probaly didnt partition right | 09:01 |
| lathiat | arrrrrr: They probably chose the 'Erase entire disk' option in the installer, which is their own fault really... | 09:01 |
| arrrrrr | but this kind of thing is horrible | 09:01 |
| lathiat | And yes, ubuntu does as | 09:01 |
| diego | arrrrrr: his own damn fault, no doubt | 09:01 |
| lathiat | if you say to partition manually | 09:01 |

| calc | my taskbar is only using maybe 1/10th of its available space now and i can't read any of the items | 09:55 |
| calc | ik5pvx: ah | 09:55 |
| calc | then yes this change is evil overall | 09:56 |
| ik5pvx | now happens always | 09:56 |
| ik5pvx | this REALLY sucks | 09:56 |
| calc | i rarely ran enough stuff to force it to group i guess | 09:56 |
| ik5pvx | I usally have at least 4 xterms open, plus mozilla, an editor and some more shit... er.. stuff | 09:56 |
| ik5pvx | grouping defeats the purpose of having the path in the xterm title | 09:57 |
| calc | well you can click on the xterm group and see all the paths there | 09:57 |
| ik5pvx | makes it 2 clicks instead of one | 09:57 |
| calc | but currently its not even wide enough for one title | 09:57 |
| ik5pvx | I'm browing into the configuration editor but can't find where this is set | 09:59 |

| GregoryD | anyone know where I might start figuring this sound problem out? | 10:11 |
| ik5pvx | changing the minimum_size does nothing, I guess that's the culprit | 10:11 |
| calc | minimum size probably has to do with how small you can make the list | 10:11 |
| calc | eg set it larger and drag the list tab over as far as it will let | 10:11 |
| calc | the list can make the items even smaller than they currently are | 10:12 |

| MacGyver| | so it should work with ubuntu too.. | 10:39 |
| bob2 | why do you think it's a problem with glibc? | 10:39 |
| vegai | when did you try it on sid? | 10:39 |
| vegai | 'cause glibc is a fetid piece of garbage? =) | 10:39 |
| MacGyver| | good question . 4 weeks ago or so | 10:39 |
| vegai | what kind of an error do you get? | 10:40 |
| MacGyver| | Please contact LGP Technical Support at support@linuxgamepublishing.com | 10:40 |

| MacGyver| | The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1 | 10:40 |
| MacGyver| | so it just segfault | 10:40 |
| vegai | ah, yes | 10:40 |
| vegai | that is fixable | 10:40 |
| vegai | the thing you have to do is run the installer with some switch that makes the installer not clean after failure | 10:40 |
| MacGyver| | export POSIX2_VERSION=199209 wont fix the problem | 10:40 |
| vegai | then you go replace one binary, and run the installer again | 10:40 |
| vegai | there should be instructions for this on the web | 10:40 |

| vegai | Triple5|Mobile: yep ok. I wonder what they changed to accomplish this | 11:29 |
| vegai | perhaps your hardware is better supported by x.org? | 11:29 |
| lathiat | thats quite a big possibility | 11:29 |
| lathiat | video tends to make a bigger difference than i would have thought | 11:29 |
| Triple5|Mobile | lathiat, forgot about xchat :) | 11:29 |
| lathiat | Triple5|Mobile: yeh, i dont use xchat :) | 11:29 |
| Triple5|Mobile | lathiat, exactly | 11:29 |
| nigg | I'm going to be installing Ubuntu within the next few days. It was recommended by a friend. I'm not familiar with upgrading. When there is a new release, is there a need to reformat & install (like you would do ideally with Windows), or is there some other process? | 11:29 |
| Triple5|Mobile | it has to do with video then | 11:29 |
| lathiat | but still | 11:29 |
| lathiat | is xchat really that bad? | 11:29 |
| vegai | nigg: no need to reformat/install, ever ;) | 11:30 |
| lathiat | nigg: No, you can upgrade easily (doesn't even need a reboot!) | 11:30 |
| nigg | no way? | 11:30 |
| lathiat | No, serious :) | 11:30 |
| lathiat | you use the package management tool | 11:30 |
| lathiat | point it at the new release, and ask it to do an upgrade | 11:30 |
| lathiat | and wait a while | 11:30 |
| nigg | slick!! | 11:30 |
| vegai | only if you upgrade the kernel, a reboot is handy | 11:30 |
| nigg | :) | 11:30 |
| lathiat | vegai: well, yes | 11:30 |
| vegai | and even then, I don't think it's necessary | 11:30 |
| lathiat | but its not forced as part of the process | 11:30 |
| lathiat | man i just got a new 2.0Ghz Pentium-M laptop and it flies | 11:31 |
| Triple5|Mobile | very nice getting a new kernel so easy | 11:31 |
| lathiat | was using a 266mhz laptop for the last year or so | 11:31 |
| lathiat | can finally hack on evolution some more | 11:31 |
| Triple5|Mobile | lathiat, I have a Amd Athlon XP-M 2800+ :) | 11:31 |
| nigg | one more question, I plan on putting Win2k fresh on a 40gb drive, and Ubuntu on another 20gb drive. Will Ubuntu recognize my Windows drive, and set up some sort of dual-boot, or am I required to configure some 3rd party tool or...? | 11:31 |
| === djrom is now known as Djrom | ||
| vegai | I'm pretty sure it will recognize it. Just install Windows first | 11:32 |
| === Olivier_54 [~olivier@dyn-83-155-27-209.ppp.tiscali.fr] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| vegai | and if it doesn't you'll just need to add a few lines to a file | 11:32 |
| lathiat | Theres no reason it shouldn't auto-add it | 11:33 |
| nigg | right on :) | 11:33 |
| lathiat | hell it even found the debian install on my firewire drive from when the drive was in another computer :) | 11:33 |
| lathiat | nigg: Just make sure you install windows first | 11:33 |
| Triple5|Mobile | I'm thinking of dual-booting too but its been a few weeks since I havent dual-boot i'm a linux n00b anyways and I kinda like forgot somestuff I remember now I did qtparted from Mepis, then installed BeatrIX then installed Kanotix and added the other OS to Kanoti'x boot hehe how simple qt parted , ah I'll use cfdisk this time | 11:33 |
| RuffianSoldier | nigg - I installed Win2k - BeatrIX and SUSE 9.1 - and Ubuntu automatically added them to dual boot! | 11:33 |
| lathiat | because windows overwrites the boot-sector and will stop you booting linux | 11:33 |
| lathiat | that can be fixed (come and ask for help if that happens) - but its just easier to install windows first | 11:34 |
| nigg | alright, thanks for the info guys! | 11:34 |
| Triple5|Mobile | RuffianSoldier, I noticed Ubuntu doesnt even have a boot loader its text for me | 11:35 |

| LoF | Hey could i request some assistance please with my ubuntu installation? | 11:56 |
| RuffianSoldier | ok | 11:56 |
| RuffianSoldier | shooot! | 11:56 |
| LoF | Well i installed it all well and good and i read on the site to set the root password u must do this while logged in right | 11:57 |
| LoF | sudo passwd root | 11:57 |
| Fator_Dee | it's your account's | 11:57 |
| lathiat | LoF: for most purposes you don't need to do that | 11:57 |
| Fator_Dee | argh, didn't read properly | 11:57 |
| lathiat | LoF: all of the root-requiring stuff in ubuntu uses sudo | 11:57 |
| lathiat | LoF: which only needs your password | 11:58 |
| LoF | Well when i try to extract a file into / it says i dont have correct permissions | 11:58 |
| RuffianSoldier | LoF -- SUDO works fine - but if you must - sudo passws - then put in your user pass | 11:58 |
| RuffianSoldier | passwd* | 11:58 |
| LoF | yes i tried that still didnt work when i attempted to login | 11:58 |
| RuffianSoldier | su? | 11:58 |
| bob2 | LoF: what exact command did you run? | 11:59 |
| bob2 | and what are you trying to untar into /? | 11:59 |
| LoF | sudo passwd root | 11:59 |
| LoF | then changed the pass | 11:59 |
| LoF | erm something i need for my perticular modem | 11:59 |
| RuffianSoldier | sudo -s | 11:59 |
| LoF | What does that do? | 11:59 |
| bob2 | 'sudo tar -zxf /patch/to/foo.tar.gz' will work | 12:00 |
| bob2 | but untarring stuff into / is generally a really bad idea | 12:00 |
| RuffianSoldier | g'night all | 12:00 |
| LoF | its not a tar file is a rpm | 12:00 |
| RuffianSoldier | HAHAH | 12:00 |
| lathiat | heh | 12:00 |
| RuffianSoldier | HAHAH | 12:00 |
| lathiat | a modem driver in a .rpm | 12:01 |
| lathiat | is very unlikely to work on ubuntu | 12:01 |
| RuffianSoldier | lol! | 12:01 |
| LoF | Cmon dont laugh | 12:01 |
| lathiat | but you can use 'alien' to convert it to a .deb and dpkg -i the .deb it produces | 12:01 |
| RuffianSoldier | Ubuntu uses modified .debs not rpms | 12:01 |
| bob2 | they're not modified | 12:01 |
| bob2 | if it's just source, it will work fine, probably | 12:01 |
| === aigarius [~aigarius@62.85.88.235] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| lathiat | LoF: so sudo alien file.rpm | 12:01 |

| Lathiat2 | they come back dead again | 01:41 |
| seb128 | you use the drive applet ? | 01:41 |
| Lathiat2 | probably because gnome-vfs-daemon isnt running at all | 01:41 |

| _hbbs | hi, I've just had some problems starting gnome, the problem was something with read/write access to a file /home/user/.ICEauthority | 02:08 |
| _hbbs | the file belongs to root:root and permissions were 600 - I changed that to 666 | 02:08 |
| wood1 | The hostname is my Ubuntu's PC IP Address: | 02:08 |
| _hbbs | now gnome starts up normally, but I really wonder what went wrong | 02:08 |

| _hbbs | ogra, you are right | 02:08 |

| _hbbs | I recentliy installed k3b | 02:08 |
| ogra | _hbbs: remove /home/user/.ICEauthority | 02:08 |
| wood1 | Can't Secure SSH do the trick ? | 02:09 |
| bob2 | wood1: it sounds very much like a problem on the windows machine | 02:09 |
| pisuke | _hbbs, just remove .ICEauthority | 02:09 |
| ogra | _hbbs: its known.....described on the wiki in the k3b install instructions | 02:09 |
| wood1 | Ok I will try Putty | 02:09 |
| _hbbs | just remove it would do the trick? Why does gnome try to write to the file? | 02:09 |
| _hbbs | ogra, ill look that up, thanks | 02:09 |

| da_bon_bon | please? | 04:18 |
| plasmo | actually lol | 04:18 |
| teuf | I grabbed a hoary installation iso and am trying to install it on a brand new computer, but it fails to find my cdrom drive during the installation. It probably has something to do with the fact that the comp has a sata hd, any hint ? | 04:18 |
| plasmo | i remembered wrong. its .themes/EdgeMCity/Edge2/metacity-1 | 04:18 |
| plasmo | or if its a gtk theme .themes/Industrial-GONX/gtk-2.0 | 04:19 |

| da_bon_bon | plasmo: then why not showing up?? :( | 04:20 |
| plasmo | and go to your gnome-theme-manager and check out the border | 04:20 |
| plasmo | metacity = border. u checked there? | 04:20 |
| da_bon_bon | plasmo: also this: /home/rohandhruva/.themes/RPanther2 has folders gtk-2.0 and metacity in it | 04:20 |

| da_bon_bon | teuf: where did u get hoary install iso from ? | 04:21 |
| plasmo | weird o_o | 04:21 |
| plasmo | click theme detail > window borders | 04:21 |
| da_bon_bon | plasmo: but the theme itself doesnt show up... | 04:22 |
| da_bon_bon | teuf: where did u get hoary install iso from ? | 04:22 |

| plasmo | ? | 04:22 |
| da_bon_bon | plasmo: yes. | 04:23 |

| |QuaD- | so i wanted to try it out | 05:28 |
| Madd_Marshall | ive tried the suse 9.2 livecd... but thinks livecds are a joke | 05:28 |
| da_bon_bon | |QuaD-: i think it is illegal to distribute suse prothat wya. | 05:28 |
| |QuaD- | i have suse 9.1 pro | 05:28 |

| Lathiat2 | Madd_Marshall: that was no different :P | 05:28 |
| Madd_Marshall | well you cant do much.... | 05:29 |
| da_bon_bon | |QuaD-: i was joking. | 05:29 |
| etorix | i tried suse-live 9.1 .. it wouldnt go online | 05:29 |
| Madd_Marshall | can i just download the ubuntu amd64 version | 05:29 |
| Madd_Marshall | why do you people prefer ubuntu? | 05:29 |
| Lathiat2 | Madd_Marshall: you can | 05:29 |
| ogra | Madd_Marshall: yep | 05:29 |
| etorix | sure | 05:29 |
| etorix | i did | 05:29 |
| Madd_Marshall | like what i cant tell is what makes them different | 05:29 |
| ogra | Madd_Marshall: try it ;) | 05:29 |
| Madd_Marshall | i tried fedora... and suse 9.2 live | 05:29 |
| Madd_Marshall | and both seemed the same | 05:29 |
| Madd_Marshall | but fedora was evil | 05:30 |
| plasmo | Madd_Marshall: because its light. and not bloated. i like gnome+xfce4 as well and debian stuff :D | 05:30 |

| Madd_Marshall | bon bon | 05:30 |
| |QuaD- | da_bon_bon: and the thing that i hate most is i have a legit license for virtualpc! | 05:30 |
| Madd_Marshall | is that the fc3 vs ubuntu thing | 05:30 |
| |QuaD- | wood1: i like bittornado | 05:30 |
| anir | hey da_bon_bon how are you??? :D | 05:30 |

| |QuaD- | wood1: and the official client | 05:30 |
| anir | MARRY X-MAS TO ALL | 05:30 |
| bob2 | wood1: install a client and use it. apt-cache search bittorrent. | 05:30 |
| wood1 | How do I use it ? | 05:30 |
| da_bon_bon | Madd_Marshall: yes? | 05:31 |
| da_bon_bon | |QuaD-: cant u use virtual pc under linux ? | 05:31 |
| bob2 | wood1: same as you use any program, by reading the manpage | 05:31 |
| Madd_Marshall | bon bon... yea ive seen that.... | 05:31 |
| |QuaD- | da_bon_bon: no, microsoft product, can use to create a linux virtual machine | 05:31 |
| Madd_Marshall | thats why i decided that my choices were between suse and ubuntu | 05:31 |
| da_bon_bon | |QuaD-: oh i see | 05:31 |
| Madd_Marshall | because there is a suse vs fc3 and a ubuntu vs fc3 | 05:31 |
| Madd_Marshall | both proving that i wasted time on fc3 | 05:32 |
| wood1 | Quad and bob2, how do I use bit torrent ? | 05:32 |
| |QuaD- | wood1: i made a torrents folder, put my .torrent files there, navigate to it and type btlaunchmanycurses . | 05:32 |
| anir | what is the language used to create linux? | 05:32 |
| bob2 | wood1: erm? did you even look at the manpage? | 05:32 |
| Madd_Marshall | well i think imma download ubuntu... and then if i dont like then i can try suse... | 05:32 |
| da_bon_bon | anir: kernel - C; most progs. C++ | 05:32 |
| bob2 | anir: the kernel itself is mostly C, with some bits in assembly | 05:32 |
| |QuaD- | wood1: you can also do something like btdownloadcurses whatever.torrent | 05:32 |
| Madd_Marshall | my problem is i dont want to pay 90$ for soemthign i might bin | 05:32 |

| Madd_Marshall | or the fedora torrent | 06:25 |
| |QuaD- | Madd_Marshall: you should get a max of 300-400 kbytes/second | 06:25 |
| |QuaD- | don't feel like working the math | 06:25 |
| Madd_Marshall | i can get as much as 600 though... on a good day with a good torrent | 06:26 |
| Madd_Marshall | most single sources range from 150-400 | 06:26 |
| |QuaD- | Madd_Marshall: not with a 3mpbs cap | 06:26 |
| Madd_Marshall | man... i used to have a 1.5mbps cap and saw over 1000kbps | 06:26 |
| |QuaD- | Madd_Marshall: not possible | 06:27 |
| Madd_Marshall | well then the app was lying | 06:27 |
| Madd_Marshall | im just saying what hotwire(or was it hotline) said | 06:27 |
| Madd_Marshall | also the guy i was downloading from had a t3... and he lived only a few miles away | 06:28 |
| |QuaD- | Madd_Marshall: look how to convert megabits per second to mega bytes per second | 06:28 |
| |QuaD- | t3 is only like 3 megabits per second | 06:28 |
| Madd_Marshall | why | 06:28 |

| Madd_Marshall | damn i think ubuntu is the right choice | 06:58 |
| carajean | i cant get the people on the cedega channel to talk they just watch the screen | 06:58 |
| Madd_Marshall | no one mentioned cedega in suse or fedora | 06:58 |
| Madd_Marshall | so there must be some link | 06:58 |
| Madd_Marshall | well i havent used cedega yet | 06:58 |
| twisted_steel | I really like them because I can just pick up the computer, move it to the couch, etc - things I definitely cannot do with my desktop | 06:58 |
| Madd_Marshall | i plan to | 06:58 |
| Madd_Marshall | there is alot of help on google | 06:58 |
| Madd_Marshall | i wish i could find a cheap amd64 laptop | 06:59 |
| carajean | i tried searching google all day yesterdayu and im doin it right now i cant find a solution to my prob | 06:59 |

| carajean | ok now where do i go after that | 07:02 |
| |QuaD- | oh, i guess bob2 left | 07:02 |
| wasabi_ | carajean, think what you'd do in windows, after an install is finished. | 07:02 |
| wasabi_ | You'd go find whatever it installed and launch it... most likely | 07:03 |
| carajean | yeah but i dotn know where it installed to | 07:03 |
| wasabi_ | sounds like a dumb program. ;) | 07:03 |
| wasabi_ | anyways, it made a command, Point2Play. | 07:03 |
| wasabi_ | (I know this because i've used it) | 07:03 |
| wasabi_ | What it SHOULD do, if it was a better program, is put entries in your menus, etc. | 07:04 |
| carajean | ok i will try amen to that | 07:04 |
| carajean | wasbi u are a god thanks alot but i may have more questions about installing games | 07:04 |

| da_bon_bon | hey, ubuntu cant play mpegs out of the box ? | 07:49 |
| |QuaD- | i want to distribute them at my uni | 07:49 |
| TD | is there any way to test the live CD without burning it to an actual CD? I already have fedora, so I was wondering if grub - magical program that it is - could boot direct from the ISO | 07:49 |
| Kamion | da_bon_bon: see RestrictedFormats on the wiki | 07:49 |
| anselm_ | I was wondering does Epiphany have all the plug-ins like firefox has to make it useable? | 07:50 |
| da_bon_bon | TD: it cant but i cant remember how - search on google | 07:50 |
| Madd_Marshall | td | 07:50 |
| TD | it can or it can't? | 07:50 |
| Madd_Marshall | without burning... why... your cheap | 07:50 |
| Madd_Marshall | hehe | 07:50 |
| TD | it's not that | 07:50 |
| TD | i already did a burn, and it got corrupted | 07:50 |
| Madd_Marshall | really | 07:51 |
| Madd_Marshall | how odd | 07:51 |
| Kamion | Madd_Marshall: Mark doesn't think it's a worthwhile business model to try to charge for free software itself; there are free-software-company business models that don't involve charging for the actual software, and most of them are improved by having lots of mindshare | 07:51 |
| TD | i have no idea why, so i'm not too eager to throw away more CDs in debugging sessions | 07:51 |
| Madd_Marshall | i burned fedora 6 times | 07:51 |
| Madd_Marshall | all were bad... | 07:51 |
| TD | Madd_Marshall: maybe the ISO was corrupted? | 07:51 |
| TD | i already verified that's not the case here | 07:51 |

| Kamion | mlambie: we're holding a conference shortly before LCA, some people will be staying for LCA | 07:52 |
| Madd_Marshall | you can make apps auto-install and stuff | 07:52 |
| mlambie | Kamion: will it be a public conferences? | 07:53 |

| da_bon_bon | whats the difference between REalPlayer and HelixPlayer? | 08:01 |
| TD | helixplayer does the same stuff, but better | 08:02 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: HelixPlayer does not contain the non-free, closed-source components | 08:02 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: RealPlayer is a superset of HelixPlayer. | 08:02 |
| Madd_Marshall | whats a superset | 08:02 |
| |QuaD- | Madd_Marshall: opposite of a subset | 08:02 |
| Madd_Marshall | god i feel like a preschooler in here | 08:02 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: so if i install real i get helix capability too? then can i play mpegs ? | 08:02 |
| Madd_Marshall | whats a subset | 08:02 |
| Madd_Marshall | these are words ive seen... but never used on a regular basis... | 08:02 |
| |QuaD- | Madd_Marshall: lol... realplayer i am GUESSING is like a parent to it | 08:02 |
| Madd_Marshall | forget i asked | 08:03 |
| Madd_Marshall | ok that works | 08:03 |
| Madd_Marshall | helix is a free clone though right | 08:03 |
| Agrajag | not a clone, it's the same source code | 08:03 |

| Agrajag | yes | 08:03 |
| Kamion | Madd_Marshall: http://www.computeruser.com/resources/dictionary/http://www.computeruser.com/resources/dictionary/ | 08:03 |
| Madd_Marshall | but how so if realplater is closed-source | 08:03 |
| Kamion | GAH, DAMN PASTE | 08:03 |
| Madd_Marshall | was helixplayer made by real? | 08:03 |
| Agrajag | real takes the helix code and adds their proprietary codecs | 08:03 |
| DeepSpaceAnt | lol.. | 08:04 |
| Kamion | http://www.computeruser.com/resources/dictionary/definition.html?lookup=4876 | 08:04 |
| Madd_Marshall | who made helix | 08:04 |
| Agrajag | it's under their supervision, helix is not GPL | 08:04 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: so if i install real i get helix capability too? then can i play mpegs ? | 08:04 |
| Madd_Marshall | no its not free? | 08:04 |
| Agrajag | helix is free | 08:04 |
| crimsun | Madd_Marshall: HelixPlayer will not. | 08:04 |
| Madd_Marshall | but not GPL | 08:04 |
| crimsun | err | 08:04 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: HelixPlayer will not. | 08:04 |
| Madd_Marshall | whats different between the two... | 08:04 |
| Agrajag | realplayer is free-as-in-beer, but not free-as-in-speech | 08:04 |
| Madd_Marshall | will not what? | 08:04 |
| crimsun | Madd_Marshall: wrong nick. | 08:04 |

| da_bon_bon | crimsun: real will ? i am getting realplayer not helix... | 08:04 |
| Madd_Marshall | free beer breeds free speech | 08:05 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: no. | 08:05 |
| Agrajag | helix player won't play realvideo/audio | 08:05 |
| Madd_Marshall | so what is ists purpose. | 08:05 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: install the codecs as instructed on the RestrictedFormats wiki under Marillat's repository. | 08:05 |
| Agrajag | it's to provide real with a decent framework on which to build realplayer | 08:05 |
| Agrajag | look at the crappile that is realplayer 8/9, then look at 10 | 08:05 |
| Madd_Marshall | so real was made from helix? | 08:06 |
| Agrajag | yes | 08:06 |
| Madd_Marshall | who made helix | 08:06 |
| Agrajag | I've been telling you that | 08:06 |
| Agrajag | WKVBIRWBV | 08:06 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: u mean the "w32codecs" ?? if i install real directly, do i nead to get w32codecs ? | 08:06 |
| Madd_Marshall | whos that | 08:06 |
| Agrajag | REAL | 08:06 |
| Madd_Marshall | real made it | 08:06 |
| Agrajag | YES | 08:06 |
| Madd_Marshall | so they made helix player | 08:06 |
| Madd_Marshall | then added their own shit and called it realplayer | 08:06 |
| Agrajag | and they opened the source to it | 08:06 |
| Madd_Marshall | oh ok | 08:06 |
| Madd_Marshall | both suck though | 08:06 |
| Agrajag | so people could change stuff | 08:07 |
| Agrajag | if you say so. | 08:07 |
| Madd_Marshall | no playlists suck | 08:07 |
| Agrajag | It's a hell of a lot better than realplayer 8 or 9 were | 08:07 |
| Madd_Marshall | well thats probably true | 08:07 |
| Madd_Marshall | but it needs playlists | 08:07 |
| da_bon_bon | anyone can please cleary without legalese and being tight lipped tell me how to ply my mpg files ? | 08:07 |
| Agrajag | so use something else, it's not meant for that sort of thing | 08:07 |
| Madd_Marshall | then it would be perfect | 08:07 |
| Agrajag | I just use it for internet radoi | 08:07 |
| Madd_Marshall | i know... which is why i dont like it | 08:07 |
| Agrajag | radio | 08:07 |
| Madd_Marshall | xmms works for internet radio does it not | 08:07 |
| Agrajag | not if it's realaudio | 08:08 |
| Madd_Marshall | is xmms like a complete replacement for winamp | 08:08 |
| crimsun | Madd_Marshall: yes | 08:08 |
| crimsun | Madd_Marshall: and more | 08:08 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: u mean the "w32codecs" ?? if i install real directly, do i nead to get w32codecs ? | 08:08 |
| Madd_Marshall | so it plays videos too | 08:08 |
| Agrajag | no | 08:08 |
| Agrajag | it plays music | 08:08 |
| Madd_Marshall | but winamp plays videos too | 08:08 |
| da_bon_bon | Madd_Marshall: xmms doesnt play videos. | 08:08 |
| Agrajag | only recently | 08:08 |
| Madd_Marshall | shit | 08:08 |
| Madd_Marshall | i like how winamp does that | 08:08 |
| Agrajag | look, if you want something that does everything, use Totem | 08:08 |
| Zotnix | Thee is a plugin that allows it. | 08:09 |
| Zotnix | There* | 08:09 |
| Madd_Marshall | you think winamp will run with crossover office | 08:09 |
| da_bon_bon | totem SUCKS | 08:09 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: you need at least w32codecs, but you also need the faad libs. | 08:09 |
| Madd_Marshall | well i like apps that do alot at once | 08:09 |
| Zotnix | xmms.org might have something posted in their plugin section | 08:09 |
| Madd_Marshall | like opera... does web and email | 08:09 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: the faad libs are for mp4 | 08:09 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: i have only mpeg files.... | 08:09 |
| Zotnix | Mozilla does web, email, and IRC... AND web developing :-p | 08:09 |
| Agrajag | and it's bloated and slow | 08:09 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: then install w32codecs | 08:09 |
| Agrajag | compared to firefox/thunderbird/sunbird/lightning/whatever | 08:10 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: its 11 MB :(:( no other alternative ? | 08:10 |
| da_bon_bon | Madd_Marshall: winamp works fine with wineX i hear | 08:10 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: just get it. | 08:11 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: or grab 'vlc' or 'totem-xine' | 08:11 |

| da_bon_bon | Agrajag: its a different program ? | 08:13 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: no, it replaces it. | 08:13 |
| Madd_Marshall | opera has email and tabbed windows by default | 08:13 |
| Madd_Marshall | i like defaults | 08:13 |
| Agrajag | Madd_Marshall: firefox is just a browser | 08:13 |
| Madd_Marshall | it just makes me trust the developers more | 08:13 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: thats oinly 4MB, i doubt whether it will play mpg files? | 08:13 |
| Agrajag | mozilla is a complete suite and application framework | 08:13 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: it will. | 08:13 |
| Madd_Marshall | suite of what | 08:13 |
| Agrajag | Madd_Marshall: if it's so great, why won't they let us have the source? | 08:13 |
| Madd_Marshall | is the browser included firefox | 08:13 |
| Agrajag | why do they have to hoard it? | 08:13 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: well, i am getting totem-xine | 08:13 |

| Pyraine | <Pyraine> i found some guide on eciadsl but it's 100% too complex for me | 08:22 |
| SuperNewb | and http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/doc.php?lang=en&view=html | 08:22 |
| stuNNed | crimsun, sorry, netstat -tupan says ssh is listening on 'tcp6' is that ipv6 only? | 08:22 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: how do i install kernel 686 ? | 08:22 |
| crimsun | stuNNed: no, that includes IPv4 | 08:22 |
| SuperNewb | oh | 08:22 |
| stuNNed | oh ok thanks | 08:23 |
| SuperNewb | so youve tried that? | 08:23 |
| Pyraine | well i looked at it | 08:23 |
| Pyraine | for a long time | 08:23 |
| Pyraine | i tried, i really did | 08:23 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: `sudo apt-get install linux-image-686' | 08:23 |
| Pyraine | but im only 16 and have no linux experience | 08:23 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: doesnt 'linux-686' work ? | 08:23 |
| SuperNewb | dont demean yourself... it just takes time... | 08:24 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: sure it will | 08:24 |
| SuperNewb | hmmm well what part confused you | 08:24 |
| SuperNewb | did you install the driver | 08:24 |
| Pyraine | the beginning | 08:24 |
| Pyraine | i didnt get a word of it | 08:24 |
| SuperNewb | hey guys what installer should he use for ubuntu | 08:24 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: however, 'linux-686' depends on your having access to the 'restricted' repo whereas 'linux-image-686' does not. | 08:24 |
| SuperNewb | debian? | 08:24 |
| SuperNewb | slackware? | 08:24 |
| SuperNewb | fedora | 08:24 |
| crimsun | SuperNewb: why not use the Ubuntu installer? | 08:24 |
| SuperNewb | ? | 08:24 |
| SuperNewb | redhat? | 08:24 |
| SuperNewb | there isnt one | 08:24 |
| crimsun | SuperNewb: on the CD? | 08:25 |
| SuperNewb | for this driver there are a few versions | 08:25 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: totem quality aint good. what else do i have? mplayer? | 08:25 |
| crimsun | (I'm coming into this conversation late) | 08:25 |
| SuperNewb | nah im talking about the drivers for Pyraine's modem | 08:25 |
| crimsun | ah | 08:25 |
| Pyraine | http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download/nortek-2021/ | 08:25 |
| SuperNewb | would debian be the closest match? | 08:25 |
| Pyraine | they are the drivers | 08:25 |
| ogra | Pyraine: http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download/eciadsl-usermode_0.10-1_i386.deb | 08:25 |
| Pyraine | but i dont know how to install them | 08:25 |
| crimsun | well, one could always try the Sarge netinstall then dist-upgrade to Warty | 08:25 |
| SuperNewb | so yea... the debian one ok | 08:25 |
| crimsun | but ogra's urls are better | 08:26 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: totem quality aint good. what else do i have? mplayer? | 08:26 |
| SuperNewb | ok so download that | 08:26 |
| Pyraine | downlooad? | 08:26 |
| SuperNewb | then we'll go from there | 08:26 |
| Pyraine | http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download/nortek-2021/ | 08:26 |
| Pyraine | ? | 08:26 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: 'vlc', 'mplayer', ... | 08:26 |
| SuperNewb | the one ogra linked | 08:26 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: which is better ? | 08:26 |
| SuperNewb | http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download/eciadsl-usermode_0.10-1_i386.deb | 08:26 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: no idea; try them both. | 08:26 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: as you know, i have only 100mb download limit per month, so i need to be cautious... | 08:26 |
| Pyraine | it's downloaded but uh | 08:27 |
| SuperNewb | pyraine - you with me so far | 08:27 |
| Pyraine | i need to reinstall | 08:27 |
| Pyraine | ubuntu | 08:27 |
| SuperNewb | ok... now from there someone will have to confirm what to do next... | 08:27 |
| SuperNewb | why? | 08:27 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: I have no idea. I only use 'mplayer', so I can't speak for the others. | 08:27 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: mplayer-586 gives 'broken packages; and 'dependancy not met' error... | 08:27 |
| Pyraine | because i only have 2 harddrive slots | 08:27 |

| da_bon_bon | crimsun: please see my sources.list on #flood | 08:29 |

| SuperNewb | ogra... your the smart one... help me out here | 08:30 |

| SuperNewb | really? why 2.6.9 | 08:30 |

| ogra | sorry warty | 08:30 |
| SuperNewb | is that eciadsl thing that new | 08:30 |
| ogra | nope, but the 2.6.9 one provides a hook for it it seems | 08:31 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: then paste the full error for 'mplayer-586' in #flood | 08:31 |
| SuperNewb | shit | 08:31 |
| ogra | crimsun: marillat is brojen | 08:31 |
| ogra | +k | 08:31 |
| SuperNewb | is there a chance of a generic driver being on ubuntu... that he can just specify | 08:31 |
| DeepSpaceAnt | isnt Totem a derivation of MPlayer? | 08:31 |
| Pyraine | this is hurting my brain | 08:31 |
| ogra | DeepSpaceAnt: nope | 08:31 |
| SuperNewb | pyraine - yea it gets like that some time | 08:31 |
| Pyraine | so i put the driver on the desktop? | 08:31 |
| Pyraine | then type in terminal | 08:31 |
| SuperNewb | its all gets easier as you go on | 08:31 |
| ogra | SuperNewb: nope, i dont think so | 08:32 |
| Pyraine | sudo dpkg -i <eciadsl-usermode_0.10-1_i386.deb> | 08:32 |

| SuperNewb | just one more non-standard device to present problems | 08:32 |
| SuperNewb | pyraine - in the US our modems offer USB or Ethernet | 08:33 |
| SuperNewb | i chose ethernet as it is older and causes less problems | 08:33 |
| SuperNewb | my modem can do either | 08:33 |
| Pyraine | our ISP's just deliver, you don't have any say | 08:33 |
| twisted_steel | da_bon_bon: vlc might be smaller - including the gnome frontend I get a total of 9341 kB | 08:33 |

| ogra | da_bon_bon: do you use totem or totem-xine ? | 08:52 |
| SuperNewb | is it blurring? | 08:53 |
| da_bon_bon | ogra: totem-xine | 08:54 |
| ogra | da_bon_bon: hmm, looks good here | 08:54 |
| ogra | da_bon_bon: you could try vlc, its in universe....and has a mozilla plugin | 08:54 |
| Seq | ogra: mplayer and gxine both have mozilla plugins too. (though gxine's sucks) | 08:55 |
| SuperNewb | is it old | 08:55 |
| da_bon_bon | "hmm, looks good here" -> meaning? | 08:55 |
| ogra | Seq: mplayer is not installable anymore | 08:55 |
| da_bon_bon | Seq: mplayer doenst owrk | 08:56 |
| ogra | da_bon_bon: my videos have good quality in totem-xine .... | 08:56 |
| Seq | works for me, im just using a different repository as stated in the wiki | 08:56 |
| ApesMa | Instructions for installing Firefox 1.0 recommend uninstalling current firefox, but synaptic won't do that without also uninstalling ubuntu-desktop, which seems a bit extreme. Is it safe to run the 1.0 installer w/o uninstalling the firefox version already in place? | 08:56 |

| da_bon_bon | ApesMa: try dpkg -i mozilla-*firefox | 08:56 |
| SuperNewb | ogra - could you elaborate, or show me where i can read about, how ubuntu doesnt need to use YaST or YOU type programs... | 08:56 |
| SuperNewb | is it more like windows in that they can install on their own? | 08:57 |
| ApesMa | da_bon_bon: Thanks! Will do. | 08:57 |
| da_bon_bon | Seq: can u please tell me now sothat i can install ? | 08:57 |
| Quest-Master | I hate YaST >< | 08:57 |
| da_bon_bon | ApesMa: try and tell me... | 08:57 |
| da_bon_bon | Quest-Master: i like yat, i wish it were here in ubuntu... | 08:57 |
| SuperNewb | never used yast | 08:57 |
| ApesMa | da_bon_bon: I presume that entails sudo. | 08:57 |
| SuperNewb | all ive used is YUM | 08:57 |
| ogra | SuperNewb: there are single programs like synaptic, gnome-system-tolls etc | 08:57 |
| SuperNewb | and not very well | 08:57 |
| ogra | tools | 08:57 |
| Seq | ApesMa: thats if you're doing a manual install. upgrading though package management will remove the old version. also watch your profile though | 08:57 |
| Quest-Master | Synaptic is much better | 08:57 |
| da_bon_bon | ApesMa: yes. or u can try 'root terminal' | 08:57 |
| SuperNewb | ok | 08:57 |
| Quest-Master | YaST is yuck. x_x | 08:57 |
| SuperNewb | but would i use it like i used YUM? | 08:58 |
| Quest-Master | da_bon_bon: Did you have Suse Personal or Professional? | 08:58 |
| Seq | let me find which repository it is in. i seriously just copied the instructions from the wiki | 08:58 |
| Quest-Master | SuperNewb: apt-get > YUM :) | 08:58 |
| Seq | are you guys running warty or hoary | 08:58 |
| da_bon_bon | Seq: can u please tell me new repo to install mplayer? | 08:58 |
| da_bon_bon | Quest-Master: personal 9.1 | 08:58 |
| Quest-Master | da_bon_bon: Don't | 08:58 |
| Quest-Master | da_bon_bon: Install it from source | 08:58 |
| da_bon_bon | Quest-Master: why? | 08:58 |
| da_bon_bon | Quest-Master: why? | 08:58 |
| SuperNewb | apt-get is the YUM equivalent... got it | 08:58 |
| Quest-Master | The repos. mplayer is messed up. | 08:58 |
| SuperNewb | so synaptic is for installing | 08:58 |
| Quest-Master | No | 08:59 |
| da_bon_bon | seq has a new repo from which he does it... | 08:59 |
| SuperNewb | because yum downloaded and installed apps i though | 08:59 |
| Quest-Master | Synaptic is a visual way of apt-get | 08:59 |

| SuperNewb | i had to bump up the resolution to get an equal amount of space | 09:10 |
| Quest-Master | It'll just eat your space | 09:10 |
| Quest-Master | You don't need it once you have gxine | 09:10 |

| da_bon_bon | Quest-Master: hey gxine is just 400kb NIICE. | 09:10 |
| Quest-Master | :) | 09:10 |
| SuperNewb | yea 1280x1024 is what i had to bump it to i think | 09:10 |

| calc | SuperNewb: gnome probably is roughly the same size for the entire official gnome | 09:54 |

| da_bon_bon | twisted_steel, Seq: bye. :) | 09:56 |
| miausX | calc, oh! I don't know that! thanks :D | 09:56 |
| calc | kdebase isn't analogous to that though, kde-core is | 09:56 |
| miausX | aha, oks :) | 09:56 |
| calc | kdebase is just a metapackage that depends on all the parts of kdebase i broke out of the source | 09:56 |

| Arricka | so what's the comand to reconfigure xfree86? | 09:57 |
| stonecolddsl | I have a question | 09:57 |
| miausX | calc, so, with gnome-core I will have a minimal gnome? | 09:57 |
| SuperNewb | we all have questions | 09:57 |
| Gwildor | is is a terrible idea to remove gnome? | 09:57 |
| calc | miausX: yes | 09:57 |
| stonecolddsl | how different is the live cd from te install cd? | 09:57 |
| miausX | Gwildor, I don't think so | 09:57 |
| SuperNewb | anyone know what slipstreamign is? | 09:58 |
| Arricka | is there a command to run the xfree86 autoconfigure-er like the installation did? | 09:58 |
| stonecolddsl | slipstreaming is usually reffered to windows nt | 09:58 |
| calc | i actually created kde-core after gnome-core was already around so kde users would have a similiar way to install a minimal kde | 09:58 |
| Arricka | I really want everything as it was, except I want to be able to run in some different resolutions | 09:58 |
| SuperNewb | correction, windows in general | 09:58 |
| SuperNewb | windows xp can be slipstreamed too | 09:59 |
| miausX | calc, oh, thank you! :) | 09:59 |
| calc | np :) | 09:59 |
| SuperNewb | i have a slipstream of it... called windows nemesis 2.0 | 09:59 |
| stonecolddsl | like i can slipstream the XP service pack two into the orginal xp install media and make a new disc that will install xp but already hve all the sp2 updates | 09:59 |
| Gwildor | Arricka, i think it is base-config | 09:59 |
| calc | miausX: btw some people are working on a kubuntu as well | 09:59 |
| SuperNewb | yea... im trying to figure out how to do that with linux | 09:59 |
| SuperNewb | i want to make it install xmms-mp3, ffmpeg and a few other apps automatically | 10:00 |
| === calc bbl, errands | ||
| miausX | calc, hum... an "unnofficial" ubuntu with kde... :) | 10:00 |
| SuperNewb | so i suppose i want to know how to make my own distro... because i know that's what most distros are... just a distro tailored to a specific need | 10:00 |
| SuperNewb | anyone know a tutorial for that | 10:00 |
| fcomtois | can anybody give me a server address where i can download mplayer ? | 10:01 |
| miausX | SuperNewb, do you know PCLinuxOS? | 10:01 |
| SuperNewb | linuxfromscratch.org.? | 10:01 |
| SuperNewb | ive heard of pclinuxos | 10:02 |
| SuperNewb | heard it was evil | 10:02 |
| miausX | SuperNewb, no no, PCLinuxOS (pclos for short) it's a mandrake based distribution :) | 10:02 |

| miausX | hum, I don't know, you are talking about to create your own debian based distribution | 10:04 |
| SuperNewb | i guess... i dont want to go that deep... i just need to know how to add apps to the installer | 10:04 |

| miausX | SuperNewb, it's a good idea, I'll try that too :) | 10:05 |
| tsw | it would be nice if the cd installer would check one folder and install every deb found there | 10:05 |
| SuperNewb | yea cara... just open the directory... there should be a folder called c i think | 10:05 |
| tsw | would make custom installer really easy to create | 10:05 |
| SuperNewb | tsw - yea... that would really make this easier | 10:05 |
| SuperNewb | well how do the installers work | 10:06 |
| miausX | tsw, hehehe, feather linux works that way :) | 10:06 |
| SuperNewb | is there a text based file with a list of the packages? or does the installer actually search the disk and index them | 10:06 |

| Gwildor | stonecolddsl, was it that easy.....where did you get your net install iso?....... | 10:11 |
| Kamion | Arricka: press enter at most of the prompts, just change the resolutions bit | 10:11 |
| Arricka | thank you Kamion. Gwildor: base-config puts you in a big package manager...how you get into changing the xfree86 defaults from there I have no idea | 10:11 |
| Kamion | you can't as far as I know | 10:12 |
| stonecolddsl | Gwildor you can get the debian sarge aka testing net install iso (107 megs) from debian.org | 10:12 |

| nicedreams | ? | 11:20 |
| nicedreams | any good? | 11:20 |
| vladster | either command line or with a front end like K3B | 11:20 |
| nicedreams | is their k3b in ubuntu? | 11:20 |
| nicedreams | and how many libs from kde does it need? | 11:20 |
| vladster | not that many | 11:21 |
| crimsun | should be in universe. | 11:21 |
| nicedreams | hope i don't have to basicly install kde if i want to use k3b | 11:21 |
| nicedreams | i'll try that | 11:21 |
| crimsun | no, but you need quite a few libs. | 11:21 |
| vladster | just the libs | 11:21 |
| nicedreams | k | 11:21 |
| Quest-Master | k guys. | 11:21 |
| nicedreams | thx | 11:21 |
| Quest-Master | I'm installing Ubuntu again on an older computer | 11:21 |
| vladster | the libs are not that big, its KDE that is bloated | 11:21 |
| Quest-Master | But it won't detect the network card (Linksys Wireless-G Adapter PCI) | 11:21 |
| nicedreams | ubuntu rocks... I still like sarge more for some wierd reason though | 11:21 |
| Quest-Master | Once UBuntu is installed | 11:22 |
| nicedreams | but ubuntu has my backing | 11:22 |
| Quest-Master | Can I get it to work with this card? | 11:22 |
| nicedreams | i've heard you have to do something special for all wireless in ubuntu before it works | 11:22 |
| nicedreams | i know its in the wiki somewhere | 11:22 |
| Quest-Master | Well | 11:22 |
| Seq | Quest-Master: i don't think so. i bought a pci wireless card for somebody for christmas, and iirc, none of the linksys had native drivers. | 11:22 |
| Quest-Master | I need to find it | 11:22 |
| Quest-Master | Fast | 11:23 |

| nicedreams | i feel that, but i bet you can find it in google in less than 20 mins | 11:23 |
| Seq | Quest-Master: you'd have to use the ndis-wrapper with the windows driver. im pretty sure thats what its called | 11:23 |
| Quest-Master | Or I'll just install WinXP on that computer. x_x | 11:23 |
| vladster | such as transcode and it's dependencies | 11:24 |
| Quest-Master | Is there a guide on that Seq? | 11:24 |
| nicedreams | after this cd burns...i'll open firefox and search for the wireless | 11:24 |
| Seq | Quest-Master: im sure there is somewhere. i only buy hardware that i know has linux drivers, so i've never used the ndis wrapper | 11:24 |

| |QuaD- | haha | 11:30 |
| |QuaD- | Quest-Master: i considered running that as my primary OS | 11:30 |
| vladster | it has apt get, you can build on that | 11:30 |
| |QuaD- | and just putting on OOo | 11:30 |

| |QuaD- | Arricka: did you mount the drive | 11:34 |
| Quest-Master | Yeah | 11:34 |
| |QuaD- | you shouldn't be playing off /dev/dvd | 11:34 |
| |QuaD- | try /media/dvd | 11:34 |
| |QuaD- | Quest-Master: interesting experiment to try | 11:34 |

| === _iKe_ [~applet@62.99.22.78] has left #ubuntu ["Abandonando"] | ||
| Setite | seq... and killing it is the same as a reboot almost? | 11:39 |
| Setite | without rebooting the pc itself? | 11:39 |
| Seq | Setite: no, it just restarts the graphical environment. the same as logging out and back in | 11:39 |
| Setite | ok | 11:39 |
| Seq | without the actual logging out, but with the logging in | 11:39 |
| Setite | this is funny... im trying to help someone and i dotn even have linux | 11:39 |
| Setite | the ironty | 11:40 |
| nicedreams | so your saying that ctrl+alt+bksp doesn't reload the x config file? | 11:40 |
| Setite | it doesnt? | 11:40 |
| nicedreams | i'm asking? | 11:40 |
| nicedreams | i thought it did | 11:40 |
| crimsun | nicedreams: when it restarts, it rereads the conffile | 11:40 |
| Setite | yea | 11:40 |
| nicedreams | k.... | 11:40 |
| Setite | what he said | 11:40 |
| nicedreams | was getting confused for a sec | 11:40 |
| nicedreams | lol | 11:40 |
| Setite | so any changes will take effect | 11:40 |
| nicedreams | my bad | 11:40 |
| tsw | ctrl+alt+backspace isnt the same as loggin out and logging in | 11:41 |
| Setite | which is exactly what we're trying to do... | 11:41 |
| ogra | Setite: you pinged ? | 11:41 |
| Setite | he needs to hurry up and get back in here | 11:41 |
| Setite | pinged? | 11:41 |
| crimsun | "ping" or addressed him | 11:41 |
| nicedreams | if I changed something in my x.org config and did ctrl+alt+bksp it'll reload the change i did in the config right? | 11:41 |
| ogra | Setite: you wanted to talk to me... | 11:41 |
| crimsun | nicedreams: yes | 11:41 |

| nicedreams | k | 11:41 |
| nicedreams | nice | 11:41 |

| Quest-Master | Damn Small is not derived purely from Debian, if you 'apt-get install' the wrong application you may break something, for instance, the X servers. | 11:42 |
| Quest-Master | Hmm | 11:42 |
| Setite | can cedega be used for apps as well as games> | 11:42 |
| nicedreams | you can always try the test version of ubuntu | 11:42 |
| nicedreams | i'm using it and it rocks | 11:42 |
| |QuaD- | Quest-Master: thats why it is only a warning | 11:42 |
| nicedreams | gnome 2.9 is nice | 11:42 |
| crimsun | Setite: sometimes. | 11:42 |
| Quest-Master | Is it actually possible to install Ubuntu through DSL? | 11:42 |
| nicedreams | see if that fixes your net problem | 11:42 |
| Setite | so essentially yes | 11:42 |
| vladster | I would rather use iceWM | 11:43 |
| crimsun | Setite: no, sometimes. | 11:43 |
| vladster | or Xfce | 11:43 |
| |QuaD- | Quest-Master: no idea, just thoguht it would be a cool install | 11:43 |
| Setite | well as much as wine? | 11:43 |
| vladster | or even flux | 11:43 |
| nicedreams | xfce gets annoying from just little things they don't have in it that would make it better | 11:43 |
| nicedreams | flux is the bomb | 11:43 |
| nicedreams | ice rocks | 11:43 |
| Setite | just less so as it is specifically for games... but a simple app shoudl work right | 11:43 |
| ogra | Setite: afaik there is a list on the cedega page which apps work | 11:43 |

| nicedreams | setite is right | 11:45 |
| ogra | Setite: crossover is wine ..... | 11:45 |
| nicedreams | that too | 11:45 |
| Setite | from what i read crossover office has things for transparent running... and for runnign apps | 11:45 |
| Setite | well i know it is | 11:45 |
| nicedreams | emulation never seems to work right though | 11:46 |

| nicedreams | me either | 11:46 |
| nicedreams | lol | 11:46 |
| Setite | but as they both have their focus i was wondering what makes crossover better for apps than cedega would be | 11:46 |
| nicedreams | nautilus makes coasters | 11:46 |
| nicedreams | they have little changes in code for each usuage | 11:46 |
| Setite | uh oh... i hope cara jean didnt kill his ubuntu | 11:46 |
| nicedreams | cedega i think is more for games | 11:46 |
| Setite | your are correct | 11:47 |
| Setite | its main goal is gaming | 11:47 |
| nicedreams | and crossover is tweaked for office and adobe products | 11:47 |
| Setite | whereas crossover office is as its name implies | 11:47 |
| nicedreams | and wine is just for your regular stuff | 11:47 |
| Setite | what else is there | 11:47 |
| nicedreams | just means they are tweaked more for certian things | 11:47 |
| Setite | it seems that cedega is games... and crossover is for apps | 11:47 |
| nicedreams | yea | 11:47 |
| Setite | such as everything else but games | 11:48 |
| nicedreams | cedega does a good job, but i still have an XP box for my games | 11:48 |
