| Setite | yea we did that | 12:54 |
| Setite | and it didnt work | 12:54 |
| ogra | dont edit, its all done by the second command | 12:54 |
| Pozac | Setite, when you flood, there is a delay for each line | 12:55 |
| Setite | oh ok... well i didnt see the delay | 12:55 |
| Setite | and telling me to stop twice does nothing so you know... because once i pressed enter it was done | 12:55 |

| bigbubba | hi is there something special that has to be setup with ubuntu to get mail to work thru php. I downloaded sendmail to the best of my ability i changed the sendmail.cf file to include my smtp for my isp but for some reason i can't get php to send the email using the mail function is there more to it than that. Basically what i'm asking do i have to configure smtp in some kinda file in ubuntu? | 12:58 |

| Setite | was it the changing nv to nvidia? | 01:01 |
| Setite | thats the only thing i think could cause the problem | 01:01 |
| Pozac | bigbubba, I think Ubuntu uses postfix by default | 01:02 |

| Pozac | bigbubba, there's some info on http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DialupEmailHowto#set-up-outgoing-mail-postfix - I'm not sure about php though | 01:03 |
| Setite | is he done yet | 01:03 |
| Setite | he's not answering me very frequently | 01:03 |
| ogra | Setite: thats what nvidia-glx-config does | 01:03 |
| Setite | i know it does | 01:04 |
| ogra | nope, he is fighting with the gephical config tool | 01:04 |
| ogra | graphical | 01:04 |
| Setite | ok he says you havent replied to him in a bit | 01:04 |
| Setite | yea no need to correct spelling... i figured it out | 01:04 |
| bigbubba | well thats fine i can probably figure out the php part i just wasn't sure how to get it to do mail cause i'm guessing it uses some form of communication with a mail client to connect to the smtp server | 01:04 |

| Freakwitch | I have the Atheros card, it works so far, though I'm not sure about Monitor mode | 03:25 |

| crimsun | kergan: "hw0:0" is invalid syntax | 03:54 |
| kergan | ya ighost i am trying the fix now | 03:54 |
| LinuxSanta | ighost: Upgraded parted by several upstream versions; while this changed API/ABI so several other packages needed to be rebuilt, this is believed finally to correct the problem where Ubuntu installations rendered Windows unbootable with certain partition table layouts and BIOS versions (#1566). Please test. | 03:54 |
| crimsun | kergan: you must use "hw:0,0" instead | 03:54 |
| kergan | crimsun, thats wot i ment | 03:54 |

| ighost | Kamion: i didn't try to repair, just repartitioned and got out backup cdrs | 03:55 |
| kergan | LinuxSanta, better yet put the boinc client on the repos | 03:55 |

| kergan | LinuxSanta, and have it start up win log in at gui | 03:56 |
| LinuxSanta | kamion: im going to try array 2 myself now | 03:56 |

| LinuxSanta | i had issues with warty and hoary | 03:57 |

| kergan | not me | 03:57 |
| LinuxSanta | ill try the array 2 | 03:58 |
| kergan | never had a prob with that bug | 03:58 |

| LinuxSanta | kergan: read what kamion wrote :P | 03:58 |
| LinuxSanta | kamion ok will do | 03:58 |
| Kamion | kergan: it's dependent on all sorts of things down to BIOS versions | 03:58 |

| LinuxSanta | kergan heh | 04:17 |
| LinuxSanta | hoary will fix this tho | 04:17 |
| LinuxSanta | they are working hard testing fixes | 04:18 |
| kergan | tho i have a remote winbox(headless(it dont deserver a montor) | 04:18 |
| LinuxSanta | hehe | 04:18 |
| aokaze | I have a slite problem. I boot up the live CD and when x starts my monitor is all messed up all scrambled | 04:18 |
| LinuxSanta | kergan: Thing is it happened with other linux distros | 04:18 |
| LinuxSanta | kergan : I take it alot of distros used libparted? | 04:18 |
| kergan | yes | 04:18 |
| Kamion | libparted is very widely used in installers, yes | 04:18 |
| LinuxSanta | kergan: i had the problem with novell linux | 04:18 |
| kergan | mdk ,rh,suse | 04:19 |
| LinuxSanta | yeah | 04:19 |
| kergan | the 3 big ones | 04:19 |
| LinuxSanta | ok so all the distros will have that issue fixed in the next release | 04:19 |
| LinuxSanta | suse = novell | 04:19 |
| LinuxSanta | so yeah | 04:19 |
| kergan | lol | 04:19 |
| GotD0t | aokaze: thats not bad... thats just an uncleared framebuffer | 04:19 |
| LinuxSanta | kergan: That was for me the biggest bug | 04:19 |
| LinuxSanta | the most annoying bug | 04:20 |
| kergan | i have had probs with it mdk (my chouce till i switched to ubuntu) | 04:20 |
| LinuxSanta | the rest was cosmetic/feature related | 04:20 |
| LinuxSanta | i never had linux crash on me | 04:20 |
| aokaze | I saw someone do it before but forgot the key combination... what is the key combination to change video rez and stuff | 04:20 |
| aokaze | I just have a crappy monitor that cannot take some hz settings | 04:20 |
| LinuxSanta | kergan novell linux is nice tho | 04:21 |
| kergan | ya | 04:22 |
| LinuxSanta | but its not free | 04:22 |
| kergan | it just never worked the way i used it | 04:22 |
| LinuxSanta | and ubuntu will be just as nice if not nicer after it gets moving along | 04:22 |
| kergan | once it gets biger you mean | 04:22 |
| janc | ubuntu is nice already :-) | 04:22 |
| kergan | janc, i agree | 04:22 |
| LinuxSanta | janc well yes | 04:22 |
| LinuxSanta | janc: but novell has nicer startup screens and the like | 04:22 |
| LinuxSanta | and has a recovery mode, etc... | 04:23 |
| kergan | and easer set up too | 04:23 |
| LinuxSanta | which im sure will be added to ubuntu | 04:23 |
| LinuxSanta | novell just has the advantage of time | 04:23 |
| janc | are nice startup screens really that important ? | 04:23 |
| LinuxSanta | janc: no i mean more features | 04:23 |
| aokaze | I would like help to get ubuntu to boot for the proper video settings | 04:23 |

| Kamion | LinuxSanta: recovery mode in the installer, you mean? | 04:24 |
| LinuxSanta | if u have issues | 04:24 |
| janc | aokaze : I've never used ubuntu live cd, but doesn't it have some boot options ? | 04:24 |
| LinuxSanta | kamion: Like you could with the cd, select the drive to boot into | 04:24 |
| janc | try F1 F2 etc. at the boot prompt | 04:24 |
| LinuxSanta | kamion: Etc... | 04:24 |
| Kamion | LinuxSanta: we should be getting that eventually, I have a preliminary implementation for d-i | 04:25 |
| aokaze | it comes with boot options but it gives only resolutions too big for my monitor | 04:25 |
| kergan | LinuxSanta, i fegured out why libparted is causing probs | 04:25 |
| LinuxSanta | kamion i know that :) thats why i said novell just has time on its side | 04:25 |
| LinuxSanta | kergan and why is that ? :) | 04:25 |
| Kamion | s'pose I should look at NLD's installer to see what the rescue UI is like | 04:25 |
| kergan | LinuxSanta, its pay back for winxp taking over the mbr | 04:25 |

| Quest-Master | No Gnome for a while then. Time to learn XFCE | 04:59 |
| carajean | yeah suggest to me to | 04:59 |
| Agrajag | skins are all the same size, carajean | 04:59 |
| merriam | carajean: Ctrl-D | 04:59 |
| Quest-Master | I use the Debian skin included with bmp. :) looks cool | 04:59 |
| carajean | damn that thing is small | 04:59 |
| Agrajag | if you want it bigger, turn on doublesize mode, it's one of the little buttons on the side of the time display | 04:59 |

| Quest-Master | kergan: Like, the icon themes I've set, colors, etc. | 05:00 |

It also crashes after a while and says too many video packets in buffer | 05:11 |
| occy | crimsun: can't launch the java app. The sad thing is, it's with a company that I can't let anyone have access to it. | 05:11 |

| |QuaD- | how do i play a bin/cue (vcd) in xine? | 05:58 |
| GotD0t | gwildor: i tried that... it failed | 05:58 |
| gwildor | idk then....sorry | 05:58 |
| kergan | gwildor, thats pretty ingeanus | 05:58 |
| GotD0t | gwildor: and it cut off the file... | 05:58 |
| gwildor | kergan, thnx :) | 05:58 |
| kergan | GotD0t, just delit then | 05:58 |
| GotD0t | kergan: huh? | 05:58 |
| bob2 | da_bon_bon: 'twas manual... | 05:59 |
| kergan | after you dcc it to your self | 05:59 |
| bob2 | |QuaD-: you probably don't | 05:59 |
| kergan | since your on that box just del the file after its sent | 05:59 |
| kergan | thru dcc | 05:59 |
| GotD0t | kergan: i cant... for two reasons the transfer fails and even if it didn't fail i wouldn't get the entire thing... it seems to cut it off at 2gb | 05:59 |
| bob2 | |QuaD-: it'd be easier to rerip whatever it is in a sane format like mpeg | 05:59 |
| |QuaD- | bob2: any good converting tools? | 05:59 |
| |QuaD- | i don't have the original here :( | 05:59 |
| GotD0t | kergan: xchat tells me the file is 2gb... when its really 6 | 05:59 |
| bob2 | |QuaD-: bchunk can make an iso at least | 06:00 |
| gwildor | GotDot, what are tying to transfer? | 06:00 |
| bob2 | hah, xchat doesn't support LFS, film at 11 | 06:00 |
| GotD0t | gwildor: an ISO of a dvd | 06:00 |
| kergan | GotD0t, so your going to have to put the hdd in to your linux box | 06:00 |
| GotD0t | kergan: i don't have any room | 06:00 |
| |QuaD- | bob2: that won't do much... i tried using mplayer... gives me SOOO many errors | 06:00 |
| bob2 | |QuaD-: bcunk doesn't work? | 06:00 |
| GotD0t | kergan: i do have one option though... ubuntu live cd | 06:01 |
| |QuaD- | bob2: it would.... i don't knwo how to use it... couldn't figure out the man | 06:01 |
| GotD0t | kergan: mount it and then ssh... easy configuration | 06:01 |
| kergan | GotD0t, yep | 06:01 |
| |QuaD- | bob2: you know the syntax? | 06:01 |
| bob2 | |QuaD-: er, it looks kinda clear? | 06:02 |
| kergan | |QuaD-, ya its bchunk the.cue the.bin nameyouwanthere | 06:03 |
| bob2 | |QuaD-: bchunk foo.bin foo.cue foo | 06:03 |
| kergan | and it will convert to iso | 06:03 |

| da_bon_bon | if i want to search in the complete computer, i say '/' in search as location, and it returns 'no files found' in a second..? | 06:04 |
| |QuaD- | bob2, kergan: should the new file be .iso? | 06:04 |
| bob2 | |QuaD-: it will be foo.something | 06:04 |
| |QuaD- | but its an iso right? | 06:05 |
| bob2 | da_bon_bon: you need to be a lote more specific when asking questions | 06:05 |
| kergan | foo.iso | 06:05 |
| kergan | yes | 06:05 |

| LinuxSanta | i just burnt array2 of hoary | 06:05 |

| bob2 | da_bon_bon: for example, I think you mean: "When using the gnome search tool, putting / as the search location makes it return imediately, regardless of the search string" | 06:06 |

| bob2 | ? | 06:08 |
| |QuaD- | kergan, bob2: i get a line that says Reading the cue file, it waits a while, then a line that says writing tracks... then its done, no file though | 06:08 |
| kergan | dont ask casue i dont even know | 06:08 |
| |QuaD- | no iso to be found | 06:08 |
| bob2 | |QuaD-: it produced nothing at all? | 06:08 |
| LinuxSanta | ok let me pray this iso works | 06:09 |
| kergan | look in the dir you ran it in | 06:09 |
| bob2 | LinuxSanta: why don't you just check the md5sum before burning it? | 06:09 |
| |QuaD- | bob2: nope | 06:09 |
| |QuaD- | bchunk 1.cue 1.bin 1.iso | 06:09 |
| kergan | dont put the .iso | 06:09 |
| kergan | at the end | 06:09 |
| bob2 | that's not what kergan, I or the man page said to do. | 06:09 |
| kergan | it breaks creating the file | 06:09 |
| |QuaD- | o... ok... thats kind of counter intuitive | 06:10 |
| kergan | just do bchunk 1.cue 1.bin 1 | 06:10 |
| kergan | thats it i'll will put the .ios | 06:10 |
| kergan | .iso | 06:10 |
| kergan | hehehe | 06:10 |
| |QuaD- | yeaj i am trying now | 06:10 |
| |QuaD- | thanks :) | 06:10 |
| bob2 | well, it's not making an iso, it's dumping out whatever's in the .bin file | 06:10 |
| kergan | ya basickly its juet renaming it | 06:11 |
| kergan | so to speak | 06:11 |
| |QuaD- | its doing it to an iso though... right? | 06:11 |
| kergan | but its got to know how to read it | 06:11 |
| bob2 | no | 06:11 |
| kergan | |QuaD-, yes | 06:11 |
| da_bon_bon | man its great - ubuntu is 9 on dw | 06:11 |
| bob2 | it's extracting whatever is in the .bin file | 06:11 |
| |QuaD- | now i am confused | 06:11 |
| bob2 | can't you ask your "friend" what's in it? | 06:11 |
| janc | it was 9 las tweek already... | 06:12 |
| |QuaD- | if he wasn't at mass | 06:12 |
| |QuaD- | i know what in it | 06:12 |
| bob2 | distrowatch numbers are completely meaningless, tho | 06:12 |
| |QuaD- | a movie | 06:12 |
| kergan | |QuaD-, that might be the prob | 06:12 |
| |QuaD- | ? | 06:13 |
| kergan | it cant convert bin/que svcd or vcds to iso | 06:13 |
| |QuaD- | so how can i watch this in totem-xine? | 06:13 |
| |QuaD- | thats my basic goal | 06:13 |
| |QuaD- | i get alsa errors when i try anything in mplayer (though the video works) | 06:13 |
| kergan | burn it | 06:13 |
| |QuaD- | thats the only way? | 06:14 |
| kergan | the copy the mpg off | 06:14 |
| crimsun | |QuaD-: regarding /dev/mixer? | 06:14 |
| |QuaD- | crimsun: yeah | 06:14 |
| |QuaD- | crimsun: you know how to fix? | 06:14 |
| |QuaD- | i am too lazy to do that research now | 06:14 |
| crimsun | |QuaD-: the easy way is to use oss emulation | 06:15 |
| |QuaD- | crimsun: how | 06:15 |
| crimsun | mplayer -ao oss | 06:16 |
| |QuaD- | gmplayer -ao oss? | 06:16 |

| |QuaD- | wow it works!!! | 06:16 |
| |QuaD- | that was easy! | 06:16 |
| crimsun | the long way is to construct an ~/.asoundrc with ctl. definition(s) for the the pcm. matches | 06:16 |
| |QuaD- | thanks :) | 06:16 |
| calc | a full size vcd mpg file is too big to fit on a regular cd | 06:16 |
| calc | vcd doesn't use error correction so can fit more data on a disk | 06:17 |
| da_bon_bon | after how many days do arrays of hoary isos come out ? | 06:17 |
| da_bon_bon | can i use a burnt hoary iso to update my system ? | 06:17 |
| gwildor | i would assume so | 06:18 |
| |QuaD- | mplayer doesn't resize video? | 06:18 |
| kergan | da_bon_bon, why not just add the hoary sources and to a smart upgrade using synaptic | 06:18 |
| crimsun | |QuaD-: in what sense? | 06:18 |
| crimsun | |QuaD-: -zoom | -xy ? | 06:18 |
| |QuaD- | crimsun: the image | 06:18 |
| |QuaD- | crimsun: gmplayer | 06:18 |
| crimsun | I've always done it with -xy foo | 06:19 |
| da_bon_bon | kergan: i have limited bandwidth and am thinking of downloading iso at a cafe. | 06:19 |
| |QuaD- | crimsun: what is foo? | 06:19 |
| |QuaD- | what type of falue | 06:19 |
| crimsun | a positive integer | 06:19 |
| |QuaD- | meaning what? | 06:19 |
| crimsun | relative to the original size. | 06:20 |
| crimsun | 1 == 100% | 06:20 |
| crimsun | 2 == 200% | 06:20 |
| crimsun | etc. | 06:20 |
| da_bon_bon | kergan: instead of synaptic, can i use apt-get upgrade ?? | 06:20 |
| kergan | yes | 06:20 |
| |QuaD- | ahh thanx | 06:20 |
| kergan | if hoary soures are added | 06:20 |

| smo | GoneBoB: Perhaps warty/hoary differences .. I just found it in /tmp (surprise surprise lol). | 06:55 |
| crimsun | gwildor: I find flux to be marginally "faster" for values of "fast" | 06:55 |
| janc | XFce4 takes a littel longer than icewm of flux to start up | 06:55 |
| crimsun | gwildor: granted, I don't even have a working X session currently | 06:55 |
| janc | but once started you won't see a difference in speed I think | 06:56 |

| gwildor | crimsun, i was just wondering, i am getting a laptop with the same specs, need to know if i shoulde instal ubuntu base, and get xfce, or jsut go with DSL | 06:56 |
| gwildor | janc, kk......thnx | 06:56 |
| crimsun | gwildor: well, I recommend Ubuntu (of course)... | 06:57 |
| gwildor | lol | 06:57 |
| plasmo | hah | 06:57 |
| janc | I just installed full ubuntu (to try) and then added xfce4 | 06:57 |
| janc | then in gdm choose xfce4 as the default | 06:57 |
| gwildor | janc, really, on that 233.......how long gnome take to start? | 06:57 |
| janc | like... 5 minutes? (at least ;) | 06:58 |
| janc | (it's a 166 btw) | 06:58 |
| Crane | how do I install Xfce from bachport? | 06:58 |
| Crane | backport | 06:58 |
| crimsun | Crane: follow the directions on the front page. | 06:58 |
| janc | CRUX with XFce4 took < 30 seconds to boot on the same P166MMX with 64 MiB... | 06:59 |
| gwildor | crux? | 06:59 |
| Crane | soryy my bad should have read first | 06:59 |
| crimsun | gwildor: another distro | 06:59 |
| Crane | sorry | 06:59 |
| gwildor | oh | 07:00 |
| janc | that's boot into the desktop (including me entering username & password) | 07:00 |
| janc | CRUX is a source based distro (you have to compile everything yourself) | 07:00 |
| gwildor | hmmmmm, that was an ubuntu install on a ?166? | 07:00 |
| gwildor | oh yeah.....crux | 07:00 |
| janc | yes :) | 07:00 |
| gwildor | well, ill give ubuntu a shot on the 233 | 07:01 |
| janc | it's slow, but it works | 07:01 |
| janc | how much RAM does it have ? | 07:02 |
| gwildor | 64mb, i think | 07:02 |
| crimsun | as long as it has >32, you'll be ok. | 07:02 |

| calc | melazyboy: the dependency resolver may show you | 09:55 |
| Ribs | melazyboy, like, remoing 2.2, but adding 2.4 ? | 09:55 |
| Ribs | Brikkah, IRQ numbers are set by the BIOS | 09:55 |
| Ribs | Brikkah, So I'd say so. | 09:55 |
| etorix | i dont see a default setting on that panel either | 09:55 |
| melazyboy | Ribs: I tried running a dist-upgrade and greping the output no joy for nautilus | 09:56 |
| Ribs | oh wait, I'm using 1.0 | 09:56 |
| Ribs | could be why | 09:56 |
| Brikkah | ok, Ubuntu says it disables IRQ #9 but in windows there isn't a #9 | 09:56 |
| Ribs | Brikkah, Does your hardware work? | 09:56 |
| Ribs | Brikkah, It hasen't broken anything, right? | 09:56 |
| Brikkah | in windows it does :) and it is dual boot | 09:56 |
| calc | Debug::pkgProblemResolver | 09:57 |
| melazyboy | Ribs: It tries to install libnautilus-extension1, libnautilus-burn0, nautilus, nautilus-cd-burner, and nautilus-data, so do you think it really needs libnautilus2-2? | 09:57 |
| calc | pass that to apt-get to get it to show you the full info | 09:57 |
| Ribs | melazyboy, Nautilus may not work without it. | 09:57 |

| plasmo`xmas`away | hello | 10:07 |
| sukoshi | merry christmas :) | 10:08 |
| plasmo`xmas`away | u too =D | 10:08 |
| sukoshi | i do have a question regarding Ubuntu Linux | 10:08 |
| plasmo`xmas`away | go ahead | 10:08 |
| sukoshi | i use it usually on my professional laptop | 10:08 |
| sukoshi | yesterday, i installed in on my subnotebook (toshiba portege 3490CT) | 10:09 |
| sukoshi | the subnotebook doesn"t come with a cdrom reader | 10:09 |
| sukoshi | so i always need to dismantle it, swap the HDD on a cdromreader equipped PC | 10:09 |
| sukoshi | and install | 10:09 |
| sukoshi | after swapping back, it works like a charm | 10:10 |
| sukoshi | except that it doesn't recognize the eth0 interface | 10:10 |
| sukoshi | hotplug load all the required module, and dmesg seems to tell that all is good | 10:10 |
| sukoshi | i'm usually more a gentoo user, not a debianbased distro | 10:11 |
| sukoshi | the config files are different ;) | 10:11 |
| Lathiat2 | indeed | 10:11 |
| Lathiat2 | sukoshi: lspci, can you see the network controller? | 10:11 |
| sukoshi | PCMCIA card | 10:11 |
| Lathiat2 | ahh | 10:11 |
| sukoshi | the wircom_ps2 is loaded | 10:11 |
| Lathiat2 | right | 10:11 |
| sukoshi | xirmcom | 10:11 |
| Lathiat2 | xircom_ps2? | 10:12 |
| sukoshi | fuck | 10:12 |
| sukoshi | xircom | 10:12 |
| sukoshi | sorry ;) | 10:12 |
| plasmo`xmas`away | lol | 10:12 |
| sukoshi | pcmcia is launched | 10:12 |
| Lathiat2 | hmm odd | 10:12 |
| sukoshi | all seems right | 10:12 |
| Lathiat2 | it worked on other linux? | 10:12 |
| sukoshi | yeah it used to be on gentoo | 10:12 |
| Lathiat2 | puzzling | 10:13 |
| sukoshi | when i installed ubuntu last night, there still was gentoo on it | 10:13 |
| sukoshi | i launched base-config bacl | 10:13 |
| sukoshi | back but it doesn't help configuring the network | 10:13 |
| Lathiat2 | so ifconfig eth0 | 10:14 |
| Lathiat2 | says no device | 10:14 |
| Lathiat2 | the interface isnt just down? | 10:14 |

| Josip | where can i fidn a list of all packages ? | 11:57 |
| siretart | Josip: btw, did you try the debian package for amule? perhaps less efford installing it | 11:57 |
| Josip | it's out dated | 11:57 |
| Josip | http://www.amule.org/files/files.php?cat=15 | 11:58 |
| Josip | no such file . | 11:58 |
| siretart | 1.2.6+rc7-2 is outdated? | 11:58 |
| siretart | I dont know about amule, I'm using mldonkey | 11:58 |
| Josip | 2.0 is the latest version . | 11:59 |
| siretart | ah, I see. | 11:59 |
| Josip | i'll try mldonkey ;) | 11:59 |

| Pozac | lots of stuff to tweak | 02:24 |
| punkrockguy318 | Pozac, yeah | 02:24 |
| punkrockguy318 | Pozac, so Ubuntu put the OSS mixer in there for basic usage, and the ALSA for advanced right? | 02:25 |

| Pozac | punkrockguy318, I installed a saa7134 tv card in a machine, and it's mixer also came up inthere :) | 02:25 |
| Pozac | punkrockguy318, give it time :) | 02:25 |
| Pozac | and use the OSS mixer for now | 02:26 |
| punkrockguy318 | okay | 02:26 |

| Cloudchaser | yes! | 03:41 |
| sjoerd | :) | 03:41 |
| Cloudchaser | and a ttyusb1! | 03:41 |
| Cloudchaser | i guess it uses both | 03:41 |
| Cloudchaser | but for sync ttyusb1 | 03:42 |
| sjoerd | apparently | 03:42 |
| Cloudchaser | hence the link | 03:42 |
| Cloudchaser | so it should link ttyUSB1 to /dev/pilot | 03:42 |
| sjoerd | you should just configure gpilot to use /dev/ttyUSB1 i guess | 03:42 |
| Cloudchaser | thats not an option | 03:43 |
| Cloudchaser | its /dev/pilot | 03:43 |
| sjoerd | stupid program | 03:43 |
| Cloudchaser | or ttyS0-3 | 03:43 |
| Cloudchaser | so i have to make link for ttyUSB1 to /dev/pilot | 03:44 |
| Cloudchaser | which i did but it doesn't show up there, i'll try doing it again | 03:44 |

| vegai | you should be talking to Razbad ;) | 05:05 |
| Razbad | vegai : thanks | 05:05 |
| SomeOtherNerd | siretart: root is a different group and has a *very* different purpose than wheel | 05:05 |

| siretart | SomeOtherNerd: yes? please explain | 05:05 |
| vegai | Razbad: ogra's link seems quite helpful | 05:06 |
| SomeOtherNerd | siretart: group root is meant for root to be able to have a umask of 002, allowing group projects, but preventing any user other than root from writing to roots files | 05:06 |
| Razbad | vegai: I'm looking at it now | 05:06 |
| Razbad | ogra: thanks | 05:07 |
| ogra | :) | 05:07 |
| siretart | SomeOtherNerd: what is the drawback for using the group wheel like the group root? | 05:07 |
| SomeOtherNerd | siretart: root must not have a umask of 00*, making group projects harder | 05:08 |
| SomeOtherNerd | siretart: on a single user machine, or even a family machine, it doesn't matter, but it does on machines like shell.sourceforge.net | 05:09 |
| siretart | SomeOtherNerd: I'm note quite sure what you mean with group projects. All members of the group root have root access anyway, so I don't understand the difference.. | 05:09 |

| ogra | Cloudchaser: great ! jpiot ? | 05:11 |
| SomeOtherNerd | siretart: you want any user in group grproj to be able to read/write to /var/www/grproj.example.net | 05:11 |
| ogra | +l | 05:11 |
| Cloudchaser | well i found somewhere | 05:11 |
| Cloudchaser | that you have to push the sync button on the visor before you open the software | 05:12 |
| Cloudchaser | so i did that, then opened jpilot and hit sync | 05:12 |
| SomeOtherNerd | siretart: so /var/www/grproj.example.net should have perms 2775 | 05:12 |
| Cloudchaser | it connected! but...its first time sync so it has no name | 05:12 |
| Cloudchaser | so now i have to figure out how to get it to have the sync name | 05:12 |
| siretart | SomeOtherNerd: so far I understood, but whats the problem with the root group now? | 05:13 |

| SomeOtherNerd | bob2: it can also be done in C++, C#, perl, python, tcl, and many other languages | 06:10 |
| bob2 | er, no, device drivers are in C and assembly | 06:10 |
| bob2 | da_bon_bon: you'll need to learn C then ;) | 06:11 |
| pmfp | (+for Linux) | 06:11 |
| Seq | the c++ interfaces are new, and NOT in the mainline kernel, and very likely won't be | 06:11 |
| SomeOtherNerd | bob2: kernel modules are, but there are some modules that allow user land drivers | 06:11 |
| bob2 | true, like libusb | 06:11 |
| da_bon_bon | bob2: i know c too :) | 06:11 |
| bob2 | there are C++ interfaces? that's crack. | 06:11 |
| carajean | so anyone know a easy way to get ipod to work with linux | 06:11 |
| da_bon_bon | bob2: is ur default browser firefox? | 06:11 |
| bob2 | da_bon_bon: guess so | 06:11 |
| Seq | bob2: yeah, i read about it on (i think) kernel traffic a while back | 06:12 |
| bob2 | carajean: hae you tried gnupod-tools or gtkpod? | 06:12 |
| bob2 | oh yeah, that guy was crazy | 06:12 |

| carajean | but can t get it installed | 06:12 |
| Seq | da_bon_bon: just put `firefox %s`, it's not hard to figure out :) | 06:13 |
| pmfp | da_bon_bon: you can change prefered applications in your desktop settings, available from your menu | 06:13 |
| bob2 | carajean: because of that same error? | 06:13 |
| bob2 | carajean: didn't you read my answer before? | 06:13 |
| da_bon_bon | Seq: someone told me to set 'mozilla-firefox' ... | 06:13 |
| Seq | da_bon_bon: so use that then | 06:13 |

| adi_ | I have a Leaktek TV2000XP Deluxe card with Philips tuner on it - in Dscaler it work with all Philips tuners - and in Slackware10 with DroplineGnome using tvtime and xawtv work fine; the same on knoppix live CD after using the auto configuring prog. The problem is that yesterday I installed UBUNTU and I was happy to see my tuner modules listed with dmesg and lsmod. After that I installed tvtime and xawtv+stuff(qt plugins...) using synaptic manager - they installed | 06:14 |
| adi_ | with no errors. After that no signal in tvtime and in xawtv. Using scantv with PAL/EU estern I got the [no /dev/vbi] so I made a symlink with that name pointing to /dev/vbi0 but the scantv doesen't seem to get any signal | 06:14 |

| bob2 | you installed firefox fro ma tarball | 06:51 |
| bob2 | to somewhere in your home dir | 06:51 |
| sid77 | da_bon_bon, I can't. I can just say that looks something about your website copier configuration. read the manual carefully | 06:51 |
| bob2 | and then removed the package | 06:51 |
| bob2 | right? | 06:51 |
| da_bon_bon | bob2: no i removed package first, and then installed from tarball according instruction on wiki | 06:52 |
| da_bon_bon | no i installed to /usr/local/firefox | 06:52 |
| bob2 | well, that would explain it | 06:52 |

| crimsun | da_bon_bon: you're just repasting what you already pasted. | 07:16 |
| shianux | what happened was I started off with 1400x1050 with a clean warty install | 07:16 |
| da_bon_bon | i thot u hadnt seen it... | 07:16 |
| bob2 | da_bon_bon: according to that log, firefox isn't running at all | 07:17 |
| drspin | bob2: yes but I didn't see anything about AAC... | 07:17 |
| da_bon_bon | this is .xsession error. | 07:17 |
| shianux | and now with hoary + nvidia drivers I'm limited only to 640x480 | 07:17 |
| da_bon_bon | bob2: its giving a error message in startup itself... | 07:17 |
| shianux | so does anyone have any idea how to restore 1400x1050 in my hoary+nvidia setup? | 07:17 |

| crimsun | da_bon_bon: if you're not familiar with how moz-firefox is packaged, it's highly recommended you stick with the default package | 07:18 |
| bob2 | shianux: it's a known bug | 07:18 |
| bob2 | da_bon_bon: yes, I know | 07:18 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: there are steps that you probably need to run after the installer finishes | 07:18 |
| bob2 | da_bon_bon: I'd really recommend sticking with the package | 07:18 |

| zenrox | thoreauputic, yep just use the installer | 07:34 |

| zenrox | bob2, no | 07:34 |

| zenrox | da_bon_bon, if you use the installer install it on top of mozilla firefox thats allready installed | 07:35 |
| da_bon_bon | thoreauputic: u mean using the "sudo sh firefox-installer" i have used that... | 07:35 |

| crimsun | da_bon_bon: absolutely not | 07:37 |
| da_bon_bon | crimsun: then ? | 07:37 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: either install mozilla-firefox from CD and stick with it, or use the mozilla.org installer and stick with it. In either case, you need to remove /usr/local/firefox first | 07:37 |
| zenrox | da_bon_bon, yes | 07:37 |
| crimsun | da_bon_bon: do _not_ mix and match Ubuntu's mozilla-firefox with mozilla.org's mozilla-firefox | 07:38 |

| zenwhen | Wikis are much harder to navigate than a list of things to do. | 07:58 |
| zenwhen | In fact I absolutely HATE wikis. | 07:58 |
| Friczy | is there a description about installing to RAID1? | 07:58 |
| zenwhen | They split up information too much. | 07:59 |
| crimsun | wikis are very nice if there is a strictly adhered-to structure | 07:59 |
| zenwhen | Give me a list of things that are on the site and I will search myself. | 07:59 |
| ogra | zenwhen: see the 4 points regarding nvidia in the guide (edit config files for optimization etc) , then compare it to the binary driver howto (2 apt commands....) | 07:59 |
| crimsun | these are points that should be addressed to the doc team | 07:59 |
| ubuntu_user | crimsun, i add this line because a problem with cdrecord, i delete it, but not restart the pc even | 08:00 |
| zenwhen | ogra, why not give people all of the RIGHT info? I dont see why things should be dumbed down and good things left out just to make new people happier. | 08:00 |
| ogra | zenwhen: there is too much extra stuff in that isnt needed and could be on a advanced users guide | 08:00 |
| zenwhen | Well then consider ubuntuguide a more advanced guide I guess. i really don;t want to see it dumbed down. I hate seeing good resources wasted. | 08:01 |
| crimsun | ubuntu_user: what problem w/ cdrecord? | 08:01 |
| zenwhen | dont think every damn page needs to cater to newbs. | 08:01 |
| ogra | zenwhen: i dont say dumb it down, i say leave the easy to use stuff where ppl get easy to use tools for newbs and the rest for advanced ppl | 08:01 |
| zenwhen | I found it useful when switching from Slackware. | 08:02 |
| ogra | zenwhen: so then it shouldnt be called a "starte guide" | 08:02 |
| ogra | +r | 08:02 |
| zenwhen | If it was newbed down it wouldnt have been worth anything to me. | 08:02 |
| crimsun | well-structured and informative != "dumbed down", zenwhen | 08:02 |
| zenwhen | Starting doenst mean swithcing from windows necesarily. | 08:02 |
| zenwhen | It said ubuntu started guide not LINUX started guide. | 08:03 |
| crimsun | starting implies elementary. | 08:03 |
| zenwhen | starter* | 08:03 |
| crimsun | be careful with connotations. | 08:03 |
| ubuntu_user | crimsun, the cdrecord not recognize the cdrw drive, because it only autodetect scsi drives, i only resolve the problem making a simboling link ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/sga | 08:03 |
| crimsun | ubuntu_user: incorrect procedure | 08:03 |
| crimsun | ubuntu_user: all you had to do was: sudo cdrecord -dev=/dev/hdc foo | 08:03 |

| zenwhen | Im not playing the dictionary game. I'm just saying that ubuntuguide.org is a really good place for the intermediate linux user or smart beginner to get info. | 08:04 |
| ubuntu_user | crimsun, yes, but cdrecord save this paramter, for use with nautilus-cdburner for example?? | 08:04 |
| bob2 | cdrecord doesn't save any state | 08:04 |
| crimsun | zenwhen: and I'm not contesting that at all. I'm saying you should work to combine those resources with the official wiki's | 08:04 |
| ogra | zenwhen: and as i support here, it steals my time away from other users that need help | 08:05 |
| ogra | thats sad | 08:05 |
| zenwhen | I just dont see what the issue with the guy providing a resource is. | 08:05 |
| crimsun | zenwhen: the lack of integration is a stickler. | 08:05 |
| zenwhen | Maybe he doesnt wat to do it the official way. | 08:05 |
| zenwhen | I mean theres no law against helping people the way you want. | 08:06 |
| crimsun | it's in our channel's topic | 08:06 |
| zenwhen | I find his guide to be more useful than the wiki. I'm pretty much done with the topic. | 08:06 |
| Cloudchaser | what do you folks do when you're stuck on an issue? | 08:06 |
| Friczy | ubuntu_user: sudo cdrecord -dev=ATAPI: -scanbus tells the correct device name for your writer | 08:06 |
| bob2 | Cloudchaser: ask on the mailing list | 08:07 |
| crimsun | ubuntu_user: all you need is the command I gave | 08:07 |
| bob2 | no, don't do scanbus at all | 08:07 |
| bob2 | you *know* what device you want to use | 08:07 |
| Friczy | ubuntu_user: then you can edit your /etc/default/cdrecord file properly | 08:07 |
| bob2 | just use it | 08:07 |
| ogra | yep | 08:07 |
| crimsun | ubuntu_user: reboot with that kernel parameter removed | 08:08 |
| ubuntu_user | Friczy, yes and what i add to this file? | 08:08 |
| crimsun | ubuntu_user: then set dma active using hdparm | 08:08 |
| Friczy | ubuntu_user: for example in my file is: ide= ATAPI:0,1,0 -1 -1 burnfree | 08:09 |

| crimsun | If I successfully build it, I can send you a diff.gz | 08:19 |
| crimsun | the licensing issue is extremely important, zenwhen, which is why 1.42 was reverted. | 08:19 |

| mjg59 | It ought to be in Hoary soon | 09:06 |
| mjt | there are ALOT of fixes in 2.6.10 | 09:06 |
| mjg59 | ogra: There are some apps that send raw scsi commands (like the one that resets the region change count on my DVD drive) | 09:07 |
| tim1 | my ubuntu doesn't automount my usb stick anymore, there seem to be problems with the permissions of pmount | 09:07 |
| da_bon_bon | when i click on .deb files in nautilus, it gives an error. what do i do ? | 09:07 |
| tim1 | how should pmount be set normally | 09:07 |
| thoreauputic | da_bon_bon: why are you clicking on .debs in the first place? | 09:07 |
| briansanders4 | i need scsi emulation, because my new cdrw won't burn with ubuntu 2.6.8.1-4-386 | 09:07 |
| da_bon_bon | thoreauputic: then how do i install them? dpkg ? | 09:08 |
| ogra | mjg59: ah, ok...so the apps need update :) then i understand why its still there..... was already wondering | 09:08 |
| briansanders4 | it won't burn in any mode, although I can read CDs from it | 09:08 |
| mjg59 | ogra: Also, it's the easiest way to use stuff that accesses CDs directly under Wine | 09:08 |
| thoreauputic | da_bon_bon: you still haven't read the FAQ or the synaptic guide, have you? | 09:08 |
| briansanders4 | the cdrw is a sony CRX320A | 09:08 |
| ogra | briansanders4: did you give cdrecord the dev=/devhdX option ? | 09:08 |
| ogra | opps | 09:08 |
| briansanders4 | yeah, cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd | 09:09 |
| ogra | dev=/dev/hdX where X is the actual drive letter | 09:09 |

| briansanders4 | that i've tried | 09:10 |
| thoreauputic | da_bon_bon: as a general rule, you don't need to install debs directly : using synaptic is the right way, or learning to use apt-get | 09:11 |
| briansanders4 | tao, sao, raw, so far | 09:11 |
| ogra | briansanders4: dao ? | 09:11 |

| ogra | doesnt | 10:03 |
| cyph | mjt: it's for wireless, it basically takes the windows drivers and uses them on top of the linux kernel or something | 10:03 |

| thoreauputic | StolenShoeBox: I doubt it was k3b that "messed your system up" by the way :) | 10:43 |
| StolenShoeBox | ogra: should I even use k3b can i use something easy? lol | 10:43 |
| bob2 | thoreauputic: people run it as root, then it fucks up their X authority files | 10:43 |
| ogra | StolenShoeBox: depends what you want, nautilus is fine for data | 10:43 |
| StolenShoeBox | ogra: i wont to burn audio cds | 10:44 |
| StolenShoeBox | want* | 10:44 |
| ogra | bob2: unfortunately there is no other way then to run k3bsetup then as root ;) | 10:44 |
| tim1 | bob2: the configure script in 0.6.3 works for me, the ne autogen.sh in 0.7 does not | 10:44 |

| olivier | Hi. I'm trying to use debootstrap to get a debian stable in my ubuntu, but debootstrap (0.2.45ubuntu15) want to mount /sys (mount: mount point /sys does not exist) inside my chroot (I assume it wants to do like on my ubuntu - I got sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)). How can I change this behaviour to get it working ? | 10:45 |
| Pyraine | yes | 10:45 |
| Setite | does Ubuntu have ntfs read/write support OOTB? | 10:45 |

| bob2 | Pyraine: 'mount /floppy/' in a terminal | 10:46 |
| Pyraine | ook i will try that now | 10:46 |
| bob2 | Setite: no, write support does not work under linux | 10:46 |
| bob2 | unless you use captive-ntfs is which is a errible hack | 10:46 |

| zenwhen | that article was helpful | 10:51 |
| ogra | thoreauputic: as i said, you cant find it if not logged in......i think i file a bug.... | 10:51 |

| mati` | yaay ! :) | 10:57 |
| Klaw | right who stole my name 'pyraine' ? | 10:57 |

Why is VFS thinking I should have an ext3 file system there? | 11:30 |
| ogra | gwildor: there must be a setup with gksu in flux then :) | 11:31 |

| mjt | and there ARE several viruses for linux | 11:45 |
| bob2 | mjt: it's very very hard to get infected | 11:45 |
| xskoulax | etorix, i think thats the install option isn't it? | 11:45 |
| ogra | mjt: source ? url ? | 11:45 |
| mjt | well.. not really THAT hard | 11:45 |
| bob2 | I've known one linux user, ever, to be infected with a virus | 11:46 |
| mjt | the thing is: linux isn't popular, so not many "hackers" write viruses for it | 11:46 |
| bob2 | and that was due to running redhat 5.2 with no security updates | 11:46 |
| etorix | if there was a virus for linux wed be so onit | 11:46 |
| etorix | on it* | 11:46 |
| bob2 | mjt: what do you see as a useful way to infect people? | 11:46 |
| ogra | mjt: please no fud here | 11:46 |
| mjt | fud? | 11:46 |
| mjt | which fud? | 11:46 |
| ferris | i do not recall where i saw it but the general statement is that there is about 66000 viruses for MS product, 3000 for MACs and about 50 that affect linux | 11:46 |
| etorix | it wouldnt be unknown for more than a few minutes | 11:46 |
| thoreauputic | mjt: aha - "Hello I'm a linux virus! Please save me to hard drive, then (as root), run chmod +x virus. Then plese run ./virus " | 11:46 |
| ogra | mjt: yeah....assumptions, unprovean things | 11:47 |
| ogra | <mjt> the thing is: linux isn't popular, so not many "hackers" write viruses for it | 11:47 |
| Ribs | 'crackers' | 11:47 |
| Ribs | Make sure you know the difference | 11:47 |
| PotajiTo | 3000 viruses for mac? | 11:47 |
| mjt | compare amount of installation of win and linux -- there's just NO REASON to wrote viruses for linux nowadays.. at least not yet | 11:47 |
| Ribs | PotajiTo, I would assume that included 68k machines as well | 11:47 |
| xskoulax | ferris, even if that statement is true, the people developing linux make updates every day not just once a year | 11:47 |
| mjt | that's not fud, that's fact | 11:48 |
| bob2 | mjt: the majority of the world's web servers run linux | 11:48 |
| ogra | Ribs: it doesnt matter its an assumption that tries to scare ppl | 11:48 |
| bob2 | mjt: and you'll note that they suffer far less attacks than MS products seem to | 11:48 |
| bob2 | successful ones, anyway | 11:48 |
| Ribs | ogra, You should know better, however. Crackers != Hackers. | 11:48 |
| mjt | there are numerous rootkits out there, exploiting old apache/ssl or ssh/ssl bugs for example | 11:48 |
| etorix | its ten years since i saw a Mac virus | 11:48 |
| mjt | or old lpd bugs, or old bind/named bugs etc | 11:48 |
| bob2 | anyway, this is kinda off-topic, we'll find out the truth soon enough... | 11:48 |
| etorix | rootkits aint viruses | 11:49 |
| ferris | ogra: is there a way for a virus to automatically run and install on a linux box, when logged in as a super user? | 11:49 |
| thoreauputic | mjt: root kit != virus | 11:49 |
