| kayali | they say universe is totally unsupported, but you still need it just to play mp3s... ugly ;) | 12:42 |
| spikeb | ogra, aye. | 12:42 |

| spikeb | kayali, you'll need more than universe to watch encrypted dvds. | 12:43 |
| usual | too bad gstreamer can't watch dvd's | 12:44 |

| gloin | I'm having a bit of trouble with cups on hoary... I get a 404 when I try to connect to localhost:631 and kcontrolcenter won't go into administrator mode - I enter root pw and it resets kcontrolcenter | 01:30 |
| Earthen | but i can share when i do kow | 01:30 |
| miggumike | i'm home from school. and when i hook my linux box up to my cable modem it doesn't connect to the internet. how can i change my connection settings? | 01:30 |

| ogra | Earthen: but it obviously doesnt work with either fs | 01:31 |
| Earthen | yeah | 01:31 |
| Earthen | right now i can't get my hard ware modem to work | 01:31 |
| Earthen | works fine in fedora core | 01:32 |
| ogra | Earthen: on a serial port or usb ? | 01:32 |

| ogra | Earthen: so its a software modem....i guess...do you know which driver fedora used ? | 01:33 |
| Earthen | it's not sofware | 01:33 |
| Earthen | software | 01:33 |
| Earthen | it the gamming modem that they sell | 01:34 |

| martxel | installing hoary | 01:35 |
| martxel | i have tried twice to upgrade | 01:36 |
| ogra | martxel: installing hoary ? or upgrading to it ? | 01:36 |
| ogra | ah | 01:36 |
| martxel | upgrading to it | 01:36 |
| Blackwell | i am wondering...why are so many people trying hoary, which is effectively a horribly unstable variant of warty, isn't it? :) | 01:36 |
| Earthen | Ubuntu finds it as 56K FaxModem Model 5610 | 01:36 |
| gloin | ogra: been using it for a while | 01:36 |
| gloin | Blackwell: it's not bad | 01:36 |
| ogra | Blackwell: it is | 01:36 |
| crimsun | Blackwell: bleeding_edge-itis | 01:36 |
| Blackwell | crimsun: ah <nod> | 01:36 |
| Blackwell | can't help them then. ;) | 01:36 |
| martxel | first i though it was because of something wrong with my ubuntu | 01:36 |
| ogra | Earthen: great | 01:36 |
| martxel | but i have just reinstalled warty | 01:37 |
| gloin | so | 01:37 |
| martxel | and i have the same problem | 01:37 |
| ogra | gloin ? | 01:37 |
| gloin | can anyone explain why localhost:631 is a 404 page when I'm trying to admin my cups server on hoary? | 01:37 |
| Earthen | so does that mean it should have the drivers for it | 01:37 |
| martxel | can anyone help me? | 01:37 |
| ogra | gloin: its disabled by default | 01:37 |
| gloin | ogra: ahh, how to enable then? | 01:38 |
| ogra | martxel: if you tell us a bit more, probably | 01:38 |
| martxel | after downloading all | 01:38 |
| martxel | anda after unpacking some packages | 01:38 |
| martxel | its says | 01:38 |

| gloin | it just stops responding | 01:39 |
| crimsun | martxel: paste on pastebin.com | 01:39 |

| DonL | ...well, maybe not | 01:40 |
| martxel | i have pasted everything it says | 01:40 |

| martxel | crimsun: if you prefer | 01:41 |

| ogra | mcthorogood: he wont, if it has no fstab entry | 02:27 |
| Mojo | could there be something in /dev/??? | 02:28 |
| Mojo | ok, how about this I what is I attatch it to a USB slot would that work? | 02:29 |
| ogra | Mojo: likely.... | 02:29 |
| ogra | Mojo: usb is supported very well..... | 02:30 |
| ogra | Mojo: and the /dev entry should be seen in the advanced tab in the device manager | 02:30 |
| Mojo | ok so this might work "/dev/sda1 /mnt/USB vfat noauto,user,umask=0 0 0" | 02:30 |
| ogra | Mojo: if its usb it gets automaounted unless you set something in fstab for it | 02:31 |

| mcthorogood | Mojo: load the package scsiinfo and use command scsiinfo -l to see scsi devices | 02:31 |
| Mojo | ok, so if I just plug it in the USB it should work without me editing fstab? | 02:32 |
| ogra | Mojo: yep...in fact it wont automount if you got something in fstab for it | 02:32 |
| mcthorogood | mojo: you will also need to make a mount point | 02:32 |
| Mojo | w00t I just pluged it in and it foundt he PICS sweet | 02:33 |
| Mojo | I love ubuntu :DD::D | 02:33 |

| Mojo | ahh sda is in /media/sda1? why is that? | 02:33 |
| Mojo | what is udev? | 02:33 |

| jmhodges | dseomn: yeah, sorry | 03:00 |
| jmhodges | dseomn: its saved in my accounts.xml properly, and it appears in my account prefs correctly but wrong in my buddylist/im window and everyone else sees the old one | 03:00 |

| Setite | can i use reiser4? | 03:01 |
| jono | hi all | 03:01 |
| Setite | on a dual boot system | 03:02 |
| Setite | for the linux partition? | 03:02 |
| dseomn | Setite: yes, but it's not very stable yet | 03:02 |
| Setite | oh ok | 03:02 |
| Setite | well im not sure if its reiser 4 | 03:02 |
| jono | I have upgraded to hoary and seem to have had a few occassions where GNOME has hung - now GNOME only partially boots, I see the panel area, but nothing else - is there a tempory files area where GNOME info is kept? | 03:02 |
| Setite | i downloaded a partition app | 03:02 |
| Setite | that has reiserFS | 03:02 |
| Zotnix | jono, had the same problem. | 03:03 |
| Zotnix | For a bit. | 03:03 |
| Setite | is it worth it? | 03:03 |
| Zotnix | Could try rebooting. | 03:03 |
| Zotnix | If you haven't | 03:03 |
| Zotnix | For some reason some processes lock up | 03:03 |
| jono | I did reboot | 03:03 |
| dseomn | Setite: if in doubt, use ext3 | 03:03 |
| === etorix [~etorix@usr1310-har.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jono | so it seems like a bug in the packages then | 03:03 |
| Zotnix | Couldn't kill them or anything. Did you try removing your settings folders and whatnot? | 03:03 |
| jono | yeah | 03:03 |
| jono | I will try again | 03:03 |
| Zotnix | Think there is .gnome, .nautilus, .gconf | 03:04 |
| Zotnix | .gnome2, .gconfd | 03:04 |
| Setite | well i read that reiser is faster | 03:04 |
| Setite | and speed is always welcome | 03:04 |
| Setite | but it is worht it | 03:04 |
| Setite | are all reiser versions unstable? | 03:04 |
| Zotnix | I use ReiserFS | 03:04 |
| Zotnix | No problem with it. | 03:04 |
| dseomn | Setite: reiser3 is ok | 03:04 |
| jono | I will reboot | 03:04 |
| crimsun | reiser3 should be fine now | 03:04 |
| jono | cheers | 03:04 |
| crimsun | it has had several years to calm down | 03:04 |
| crimsun | v4 is a bit too new imo | 03:05 |
| Earthen | Ogra you still here | 03:05 |
| Setite | crimsun... so i can rest easy that reiser 3 will cause no problems | 03:05 |
| dseomn | Setite: anything could cause problems, so back up anyway | 03:05 |
| Setite | thanks zotnix... just saw what you said | 03:06 |

| Zotnix | It DOES eat up some space though | 03:06 |
| Zotnix | I notice that much... most journalled file systems do. | 03:06 |
| Setite | oh really? | 03:06 |
| Setite | is it faster? | 03:06 |
| Zotnix | I have a 120 GB drive and I have 111 GB after partitioning | 03:06 |
| Earthen | are you still busy or do you think you could lend me a few moments to hepl with my modem problem | 03:07 |
| Zotnix | That's with only 500 for swap | 03:07 |
| dseomn | Zotnix: that's because of th 1024 != 1000 issue | 03:07 |
| Zotnix | Yeah | 03:07 |
| Zotnix | 9 gigs is a lot to give up though | 03:07 |
| Setite | most drives lie from what ive seen | 03:07 |
| dseomn | Zotnix: that's an advertising problem, you bought a 111G drive | 03:07 |
| Setite | they'll say 200gigs not factoring the 1024 thing... | 03:08 |
| dseomn | the journal is usually ~8M | 03:08 |
| ogra | Earthen: do you have the exact chipset ? | 03:08 |
| Setite | it will be 1000 times 200 with accurately it should be 1024x200 | 03:08 |
| Earthen | ubuntu detects it as model 5610 | 03:09 |
| Earthen | it's a PCI modem not ISA as i said before | 03:10 |
| Zotnix | Ah, forgot about tha | 03:10 |

| Setite | nvm | 03:18 |
| Setite | they follow the original 40gig increment | 03:18 |
| Setite | ok imma stop talking to myself now | 03:19 |

| ogra | no | 03:22 |

| occy | yeah s/conf/config/ | 04:35 |

| occy | regeya: They don't live with me, as I am a parent myself ;) | 04:43 |

| regeya | so I'm applying eq, and it's talking a long time, and it sucks. | 04:49 |
| AlohaWolf | even when I run my own Local bind.. its still slow.. and if its such an issue, why didnt Mandrake, or why doesnt Windows have issues? | 04:49 |
| ogra | because they dont use v6 yet ? | 04:49 |
| AlohaWolf | then how do I turn v6 off in Ubuntu? | 04:50 |

| |QuaD- | Triple5: not to use its grub men\u? i am saying that it is better not to use a gui one, a text one like ours is fine | 05:07 |
| |QuaD- | Creap: how much ram you have? | 05:07 |

| Creap | ? | 05:07 |
| |QuaD- | Triple5: ok, i was just curious | 05:07 |

| |QuaD- | Triple5: yeah you can, why not? | 05:08 |
| Creap | since i have some hd space left over | 05:08 |
| CheatersRealm | if you're using a boot loader, the gui takes less time to load then it does to click on the right entry | 05:08 |
| |QuaD- | Creap: i doubt it.... do oyu use your ram up often? | 05:08 |
| Triple5 | CheatersRealm, I never knew there was anyway to click | 05:08 |

| |QuaD- | s0cks: the post? | 05:23 |
| AlohaWolf | In my opinion, the only difference between Linux Distros for the most part.. is fit and finish, I started out on Mandrake.. which I loved.. then I ran the Ubuntu Live CD and I was hooked | 05:23 |
| AlohaWolf | s0cks, did you try reseting the BIOS? | 05:23 |
| |QuaD- | AlohaWolf: i was getting to something like that | 05:23 |

| crimsun | K-Rich: you can ignore them, as I just stated. | 06:09 |
| K-Rich | i see nothing elser though... looking for the file that shows what you see :/ | 06:09 |

| K-Rich | crimsun, also i note synaptix and apt-get both want to use the CD for installing some apps (like alsa-utils) | 06:13 |
| crimsun | K-Rich: no, can't reboot yet. | 06:13 |
| crimsun | K-Rich: you need to blacklist snd-cs46xx | 06:13 |
| crimsun | K-Rich: use nano to add "snd-cs46xx" to the end of /etc/hotplug/blacklist | 06:13 |
| K-Rich | got that as well now... | 06:14 |
| K-Rich | crimsun, i was figuring it would be easyer than debian, most is, just i have old hardware i guess | 06:15 |
| crimsun | it's Cirrus Logic's fault, not yours. | 06:15 |
| crimsun | not any distro's | 06:15 |
| K-Rich | i see :) just used to using alsa-config on these old boards (i have 12 of them, the rest stil have sid on them) | 06:16 |
| K-Rich | crimsun, also it only detected one of my nics, i assume i need to add 'ne' to /etc/modules as well than? | 06:17 |
| crimsun | sure. | 06:17 |
| K-Rich | good thing it detected my internet nic and not my just the lan heh, then i could render though :) | 06:18 |
| Rene_S | crimsun, oh yeah, thanks for the info btw, I think I am gonna hold off on busting my comp its the Holiday Season | 06:18 |
| K-Rich | crimsun, wish me luck, rebooting | 06:18 |

| ferris | what is the issue? | 06:52 |
| ArCHoNKoG | da_bon_bon, ok what is the problem | 06:52 |
| da_bon_bon | knoppix was working fine off the cd. i made some partition table changes, and ithangs at "creating /etc/fstab" and mounting. | 06:53 |
| ArCHoNKoG | ok | 06:54 |
| bob2 | that's a really knoppix-specific question | 06:54 |

| ArCHoNKoG | i see | 06:57 |
| ArCHoNKoG | ooohhh | 06:57 |
| ArCHoNKoG | got it | 06:57 |
| da_bon_bon | any solutions ? | 06:57 |
| ArCHoNKoG | no now he is tring to boot off the hd ? | 06:58 |
| bob2 | I'd guess your partition table is weird in some way | 06:58 |
| bob2 | but the knoppix people would know a lot more | 06:58 |
| macewan | When they list barebone computers like those at newegg.com what else do you have to purchase for it to be a working computer? | 06:58 |

| da_bon_bon | now, linux distros installers can recognize /dev/hdc partitions, previously they did not, but knoppix cant now... :( | 06:59 |
| da_bon_bon | ArCHoNKoG: ^^^ | 06:59 |

| bob2 | so people can see if they can answer it before getting involved | 07:01 |

| s0cks | pdaoust : Wheres the nick from? | 07:02 |
| pdaoust | hazza96: golly, no, haven't seen something like that. Have you tried just dissecting the XML file of a decent theme and seeing what it's made out of | 07:02 |
| pdaoust | s0cks: Paul d'Aoust -- my name | 07:02 |
| s0cks | O. Interesting. | 07:02 |

| pdaoust | I agree with BlackKnight|; Mandrake feels patched-together... and if you have a constant Internet connection, it's lovely to just fire up your package manager -- all graphical, no command-line, search for the program you want, and then go 'install'... wonderful stuff. | 07:25 |
| Tessa | although it is kinda discouraging I cant get it up and running | 07:25 |
| pdaoust | Tessa: yeah.... looking at one forum post, it seems a lot of FX5200 owners have problems getting the LiveCD to work, but no probs once they take the plunge and actually install Ubuntu | 07:26 |
| BlacKnight| | Tessa: if you're in windows and you tell it to set a refresh rate or resolutoin higher than your monitor can support, what does the monitor do? | 07:26 |
| BlacKnight| | pdaoust: might be the nvidia support compiled in the live kernel? | 07:26 |
| Tessa | it depend on the resolution | 07:26 |
| Tessa | with some it works and others dont | 07:26 |
| BlacKnight| | as pdaoust asked, does it give you an "out of range" message? | 07:26 |
| Tessa | nope, no message just the monitor went off | 07:27 |
| BlacKnight| | pdaoust: the fact that the monitor turns to power saving indicates that the video card isn't actually outputting anything? | 07:27 |
| BlacKnight| | Tessa: how about in windows? | 07:27 |
| Tessa | in windows it works just fine | 07:27 |
| BlacKnight| | but when you're evil to it and tell it to do sometihng that it cant? | 07:27 |
| pdaoust | BlackKnight|: that's what I'd guess too... but in this one post I found, someone seemed to have success just by passing a "screen=1024x768" to the kernel at the GRUB prompt... | 07:28 |
| Tessa | it works sometimes, sometimes i yell at the screens and it works lol | 07:28 |
| BlacKnight| | pdaoust: well maybe tess should try that? | 07:28 |
| pdaoust | that's what I'm thinking. Okay, Tessa, here's something to try out. | 07:28 |
| makhand | so, can someone please tell me if i can repartition my drive with warty? | 07:29 |
| pdaoust | BlackKnight: wait; I've never used the LiveCD. what sort of options at the grub prompt do you have? just the usual 'linux'? | 07:29 |
| makhand | i would appreciate it :) | 07:29 |
| pdaoust | (don't know if the LiveCD has different kernels installed) | 07:29 |
| BlacKnight| | pdaoust: i've never used it either | 07:29 |
| pdaoust | makhand: wish I could say; I installed Ubuntu on a blank hard drive, so I've never had to worry about repartitioning. | 07:30 |
| makhand | oh ok | 07:30 |
| BlacKnight| | umnm | 07:30 |
| BlacKnight| | i installed over existing partitions | 07:30 |
| pdaoust | makhand: I think it has a plain-jane (i.e., 'destructive') partition manager, but I could be wrong | 07:30 |
| BlacKnight| | makhand: how are your partitions settup atm? | 07:30 |
| makhand | well, i just bought a compaq notebook | 07:30 |
| makhand | I'd like to keep windows on it just in case | 07:30 |
| pdaoust | okay, Tessa, I'll be with you in one sec. I just have to look up a command or two :) | 07:30 |
| === zenwhen is now known as zensleep | ||
| BlacKnight| | ok lemme jsut check the doccos | 07:31 |
| Tessa | thnx a lot, pdaoust | 07:31 |
| pdaoust | Tessa: np! | 07:31 |
| BlacKnight| | makhand: have you tried running the installer? | 07:32 |
| makhand | not yet.. a little afraid i'll have to reistall everything. i was just hoping someone would have done it | 07:32 |
| makhand | i suppose i can try | 07:32 |
| Tessa | I think with expert installation options u can repartition ur hd, makhand | 07:33 |
| Tessa | it says so i the cd case | 07:33 |
| makhand | hmm... thanks | 07:34 |
| makhand | wow, arent you new? | 07:34 |
| Tessa | yes, i am :) | 07:34 |
| makhand | helping out already. thats great | 07:34 |
| bob2 | pdaoust: that dude seems a bit confused | 07:35 |
| Tessa | np, makhand, hope it helps | 07:35 |
| bob2 | pdaoust: mail doesn't bounce as soon as the mail server goes down | 07:35 |
| pdaoust | bob2: yeah, from the link I sent you, it looks like the guy just didn't realise they had installed a spam filter :-/ | 07:36 |
| BlacKnight| | http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/dists/warty/main/installer-i386/current/doc/manual/en/ch03s05.html | 07:36 |
| BlacKnight| | (that's for you mak) | 07:36 |
| bob2 | pdaoust: yeah | 07:36 |
| BlacKnight| | If your machine has a FAT filesystem, as used by DOS and older versions of Windows, you can wait and use Debian installer's partitioning program to resize the FAT filesystem. | 07:36 |
| bob2 | pdaoust: but just wanted to make sure you knoew that point was wrong :) | 07:36 |
| BlacKnight| | makhand: are you using fat or ntfs? | 07:37 |
| BlacKnight| | umm and remmeber to back your data up... it's pretty likely that something will go wrong and you'll lose the existing windows partition? | 07:37 |
| makhand | well, its whatever came installed. I'm assuming ntfs | 07:37 |
| BlacKnight| | oh, you know if you're using winxp you can split your current windows partition | 07:37 |
| BlacKnight| | ok, is it winxp? | 07:37 |
| makhand | well, its a pretty new system, so I dont have much on it. its just a matter of time | 07:37 |
| BlacKnight| | hehe you're pretty much better off without windows :) | 07:38 |
| makhand | really? yes, it is | 07:38 |
| BlacKnight| | the only think i use windows for is transferring stuff to my minidisc | 07:38 |
| makhand | i know, I know. I have only linux on my desktop | 07:38 |
| BlacKnight| | ok well do you know how to get into the disc manager? | 07:38 |
| makhand | I've had it for a while, but havent had to deal much with dual booting | 07:38 |
| K-Rich | crimsun, errrr this totem-xine it says to install says it removes ubuntu-desktop... err that's not good is it? | 07:38 |
| pdaoust | bob2: no worries; I realised he was confused when I saw that article :) | 07:38 |
| makhand | i think i rememember something about that. let me look | 07:38 |
| bob2 | hehe | 07:39 |
| BlacKnight| | makhand: read that web page? | 07:39 |
| pdaoust | K-Rich: it's not great, but for most purposes, it doesn't cause problems -- ubuntu-desktop is simply an empty dummy package that depends on all the Ubuntu desktop components (GNOME, HAL, and DBUS). Uninstalling ubuntu-desktop doesn't actually uninstall your desktop :) | 07:40 |
| makhand | blacknight, which one? | 07:40 |
| BlacKnight| | the one i pasted up there^^ | 07:40 |
| K-Rich | pdaoust, whew :), thanks, that was my worry, ... of note the mplayer on there doesn't work :/ (which kinda sucks :/) | 07:40 |
| makhand | nm, found it, sorry | 07:40 |
| bob2 | but you will need to be careful when you move to hoary | 07:40 |
| BlacKnight| | makhand: try and find out if you're using ntfs or fat | 07:41 |
| BlacKnight| | if you're using fat, then ubuntu's partition util should be able to split your partition | 07:41 |
| pdaoust | bob2: good point | 07:41 |
| makhand | thanks, reading it | 07:42 |
| BlacKnight| | makhand: this is for you too - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=309000#4 | 07:42 |
| pdaoust | blastit, I can't find this info anywhere... anybody know, off-hand, what the different boot options are with the Warty LiveCD? | 07:42 |
| pdaoust | i.e., does 'linux' at the GRUB prompt get you the stock kernel? | 07:43 |
| bob2 | since you won't automatically pick up new packages that might be needed/useful for a desktop | 07:43 |
| pdaoust | bob2: ooo, you're right | 07:43 |
| BlacKnight| | pdaoust: wouldn't the boot menu on live be the same as the default grub with warty? | 07:43 |
| BlacKnight| | bob2: when's hoary coming out? | 07:43 |
| calc | april | 07:43 |
| bob2 | BlacKnight|: april 15th or so | 07:43 |
| pdaoust | BlackKnight: I believe the LiveCD is based on Morphix, whereas the install CD is based on Debian's install CD or something | 07:43 |
| BlacKnight| | pdaoust: oic | 07:44 |
| bob2 | the install cd uses a modified version of sarge's installer | 07:44 |

| zaeem | hi bob2 | 07:44 |
| Tessa | hi zaeem | 07:44 |
| zaeem | hey Tessa... | 07:44 |
| K-Rich | is it safe to use universe and multiverse repositories ? | 07:44 |
| zaeem | can you guys help me out with this errors?? | 07:45 |
| zaeem | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 07:45 |
| zaeem | libatspi-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.2.0-2) but it is not going to be installed | 07:45 |
| zaeem | Depends: libgail-dev (>= 1.4.1) but it is not going to be installed | 07:45 |
| zaeem | E: Broken packages | 07:45 |
| bob2 | K-Rich: usually, but they are unsupported... | 07:45 |
| K-Rich | okay | 07:45 |
| bob2 | zaeem: what have you done to get that error? | 07:45 |
| pdaoust | K-Rich: I think so; they're just not supported. your mileage may vary, because you'll probably be installing different packages from me. For me, it's all worked; I've even used repositories that aren't even an official part of Ubuntu or Debian or any of that stuff | 07:45 |
| zaeem | bob2, apt-get install at-spi libatspi-dev | 07:46 |
| bob2 | zaeem: can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to #flood? | 07:46 |
| pdaoust | bob2: sounds like the source repositories need to be enabled | 07:46 |
| zaeem | gimme a minute... | 07:46 |
| pdaoust | (i.e., deb-src) | 07:46 |
| K-Rich | pdaoust, i assume sarge and sid? | 07:46 |
| bob2 | pdaoust: no | 07:46 |
| bob2 | pdaoust: they play no role in dependencies at all | 07:46 |
| BlacKnight| | pdaoust: you can even successfully install rpms with alien | 07:47 |
| BlacKnight| | but they might place files in wierd mdk- or redhat- specific lcoations | 07:47 |
| pdaoust | bob2: but don't the -dev packages belong to the deb-src repositories? | 07:47 |
| Tessa | pdaoust: did u find the commands u were looking for? | 07:47 |
| BlacKnight| | which messes things up a bit | 07:47 |
| bob2 | pdaoust: no | 07:47 |
| bob2 | pdaoust: they're just regular binary packages | 07:47 |
| pdaoust | K-Rich: you mean the repositories I used? naw, they were things like the Marillat repository (home to the legally questionable win32codecs package ^_^) | 07:47 |
| BlacKnight| | pdaoust: but isn't that an ubuntu repository? | 07:48 |
| BlacKnight| | for ubuntu debs? | 07:48 |
| bob2 | BlacKnight|: no | 07:48 |
| bob2 | it's for debian | 07:48 |
| BlacKnight| | ah rightio | 07:48 |
| bob2 | which is why it doeasn't work for warty anymore | 07:48 |
| BlacKnight| | debian debs seem to install quite neatly | 07:48 |
| BlacKnight| | it doesn't? | 07:48 |
| pdaoust | bob2: this is news to me too | 07:48 |
| zaeem | bob2, http://www.pastebin.com/133646 | 07:49 |
| K-Rich | pdaoust, have any experiance with the ubuntu backports site on sf.net ? | 07:49 |
| pdaoust | K-Rich: never even heard of it ^_^ | 07:49 |

| pdaoust | K-Rich: I just go full-bore, install stuff from hoary, and then try to figure out why I can't boot up anymore -- once that's fixed, things are great ^_^ | 07:50 |
| zaeem | bob2, i havent used #flood ... :( | 07:50 |
| bob2 | zaeem: it's just a channel | 07:50 |

| bob2 | zaeem: why do you have marillat in there 3 times? | 07:50 |
| zaeem | marillat?? | 07:50 |
| bob2 | you're the 3rd person today who's had that | 07:50 |
| bob2 | zaeem: look at the url you just gave me. find the word 'marillat'. you've put it in there 3 times. | 07:51 |
| zaeem | bob2, i had that from some tutorial | 07:51 |
| bob2 | which tutorial? | 07:51 |
| bob2 | I want to email the author and tell them to stop breaking people's computers | 07:51 |
| zaeem | hmm.. | 07:52 |
| K-Rich | pdaoust, more daring than I lol (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-bp/) | 07:52 |
| makhand | well, it looks like my drive is ntfs, and it looks like i may not be able to re-partition it | 07:52 |
| bob2 | remove all the marillat ones except for the testing one | 07:52 |
| bob2 | that probably won't fix it, but it's a start | 07:52 |
| zaeem | bob2, i think it is from that multimedia howto of ubuntu | 07:52 |
| zaeem | ok bob2 | 07:52 |
| K-Rich | pdaoust, deb http://ubuntu-bp.sourceforge.net/ubuntu warty-backports main universe | 07:53 |

| bob2 | woah | 07:53 |
| bob2 | they're pimping for donations? | 07:53 |
| pdaoust | K-Rich: yeah, installing the Hoary version of GTK+ really screws up Ubuntu; it doesn't boot... I discovered that the solution is to install the Hoary version of GDM, and it works fine. | 07:53 |
| bob2 | pdaoust: er, if that stops it booting, then please file a serious bug | 07:54 |

| zaeem | i sure will.. | 07:55 |
| bob2 | pdaoust: why were you upgrading gtk to begin with? | 07:55 |
| zaeem | but for the moment, i cant install those pacakges.. | 07:55 |
| bob2 | zaeem: do you have an /etc/apt/apt.conf? | 07:55 |

| mroth | is a P3/450 considered a i686? | 07:55 |
| bob2 | you don't need to edit inittab for that | 07:55 |
| bob2 | mroth: yes | 07:55 |

| mroth | awesome, thanks | 07:55 |

| pdaoust | (once X bailed on me) | 07:56 |
| calc | mroth: all intel newer than ppro is i686 | 07:56 |

| pdaoust | there ya go :) | 07:56 |
| calc | pdaoust: misworded it ;) | 07:56 |
| K-Rich | pdaoust, i moved to warty from sid... after i messed up, i could have fixed but i onlt have a 1.5GB /home so i decided to do it since i've been passing out CDs like it was candy on halloween :) | 07:57 |
| calc | however some other chips newer than that aren't i686, like via c3 | 07:57 |
| pdaoust | Tessa: okay, this isn't incredibly easy to follow, I'm sure, but here goes... | 07:57 |
| pdaoust | K-Rich: heh, cool | 07:57 |
| calc | some of the c3's don't support cmov so can't run i686 binaries | 07:57 |
| bob2 | I hope whoever is doing these backports has a plan for helping people upgrade to hoary when it comes out | 07:57 |
| zaeem | bob2, wanna tell you a thing...i changed my sources from warty to hoary to upgrade firefox and that really screwed a few things. | 07:57 |

| calc | ah ok | 07:59 |
| pdaoust | Tessa: okay, so when you stick your LiveCD in, you get a beautiful boot prompt with the Ubuntu logo, and a little word that says 'boot:'. I think that all you have to do is type in "linux -screen=1024x768" (without quotation marks, of course) and it'll limit your display resolution to 1024x768 | 07:59 |

| BlacKnight| | pdaoust: the latter | 08:12 |
| BlacKnight| | how's fedora? | 08:12 |
| BlacKnight| | gentoo has a similar distribution-upgrade concept, doesn't it? | 08:13 |
| pdaoust | BlackKnight|: I think it rocks too, but yeah... wanted a binary distro... and I like when the packages preconfigure themselves with good defaults. | 08:13 |
| BlacKnight| | oh and hwat happens to all my own-rolled programs when i do distribution-up[grade in ubuntu? | 08:13 |
| pdaoust | BlackKnight: it has a very similar concept to Fedora and Ubuntu, yes. The only difference is that their distro is constantly changing; i.e., the stable distro is simply whatever packages get installed when you go "emerge your-package-name-here"... whereas Ubuntu and Fedora work on the idea of six-month stable releases, with only bug-fixing upgrades. | 08:14 |
| bob2 | BlacKnight|: you keep your own stuff in /usr/local/, and then ubuntu ignores it completely | 08:15 |
| pdaoust | BlackKnight: most likely your home-rolled programs will be in... bob2 beat me to it. yeah, /usr/local | 08:15 |
| bob2 | that's one of the many reasons you don't let junk get into /usr/ | 08:15 |
| pdaoust | BlackKnight: the only conflict I can see is that, if /usr/bin is before /usr/local/bin in $PATH, it'll choose the Ubuntu version of the binary first. | 08:16 |
| bob2 | it's not | 08:16 |
| bob2 | for exactly that reason | 08:16 |
| pdaoust | ? | 08:16 |
| zaeem | bob2, upgrading to hoary from warty.. | 08:16 |
| bob2 | /usr/local/bin/ is in the head of the path exactly so you can override stuff | 08:16 |
| pdaoust | bob2: is it? | 08:17 |
| === pdaoust feels sheepish... | ||
| pdaoust | every day is a learnin-stuff day :) | 08:17 |
| zaeem | bob2, synaptic says that it will download 516 MB...that will choke my connection..can i limit the download speed? | 08:18 |
| bob2 | run it under trickle, I guess | 08:18 |
| pdaoust | anybody off-hand know the name of that network connection monitor that works kinda like top, only it lists hostnames instead of processes? | 08:19 |
| bob2 | iftop? ntop? | 08:19 |
| pdaoust | bob2: thanks; I'll try :) | 08:19 |
| pdaoust | bob2: that's the very kind of program I was looking for; thanks! | 08:21 |

| pdaoust | cool. what's the weather like down there? have to make a trip on Tuesday, and I'm just wondering what the conditions are like. | 08:25 |
| Kickstart | pdaoust, today was mostly crappy with a little clearing before it got dark. Supposed to be nicer tomorrow but weather.ca is predicting rain for Tuesday (they are usually more wrong than right) | 08:26 |

| pdaoust | Kickstart: I can't remember which method I used to install Java... one sec | 08:27 |
| Kickstart | Heh...yeah, I think the CO2 levels are messing them up these days ;) | 08:27 |
| pdaoust | Kickstart: must be :) | 08:27 |
| Kickstart | The error I'm getting is that java-common and a gfonts deb are unavailable. | 08:27 |
| pdaoust | Kickstart: I used method 1, I believe. what's your problem? | 08:28 |
| pdaoust | whoa, bet me to it | 08:28 |
| pdaoust | Kickstart: hmmm, java-common... do you have warty universe repository enabled? | 08:28 |

| pdaoust | dumb question, but you did reload your repository list once you installed jrfonseca.dyndns.org repository? | 08:29 |
| Kickstart | yup :) And nothing in 'apt-cache search' | 08:30 |
| pdaoust | weirdness. colossal weirdness... | 08:30 |
| === Kickstart is a working Debian sysadmin, if it helps :) | ||
| _nicolas_ | Hi all. I just got started on Ubuntu. Just looking around here | 08:30 |
| Kickstart | just did another apt-get update and apt-cache search again and it doesn't exist | 08:31 |
| pdaoust | Kickstart: thanks for the heads-up ;) I always assume people are n00bs and work up from there ^_^ usually works, because I'm a n00b myself! | 08:31 |
| Kickstart | there's j2se-common though | 08:31 |
| pdaoust | Kickstart: that's interesting; where's that coming from, I wonder | 08:32 |
| Kickstart | hold on, I'll check synaptic | 08:32 |
| pdaoust | 's too bad Synaptic doesn't tell you what repository it got a package from... | 08:33 |
| Kickstart | Hmm...I thought it did in the properties of the package, but you are right and I am wrong. | 08:33 |
| _nicolas_ | question: has anyone here got the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG working under Ubuntu? | 08:34 |
| pdaoust | _nicolas_: I'd just be happy if I had a wireless card, even if it didn't work ^_^ | 08:34 |
| bob2 | it works in hoary, I hear | 08:34 |
| Kickstart | _nicolas_, do you know the module? | 08:34 |
| pdaoust | (so in other words, sorry :) ) | 08:34 |
| bob2 | ipw2100 works fine in warty | 08:34 |
| pdaoust | Kickstart: sorry, I forgot your answer: did you say you have both warty universe and multiverse enabled? | 08:36 |
| Kickstart | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty multiverse \ deb http://jrfonseca.dyndns.org/debian ./ | 08:36 |
| _nicolas_ | Kickstart, I don't know the module. I see that it has an entry in /sys/devices when I check the Device Manager | 08:37 |
| Kickstart | Just multiverse | 08:37 |
| pdaoust | Kickstart: ah, that might be it; maybe it's in universe | 08:37 |
| Kickstart | _nicolas_, no worries, was just curious | 08:37 |
| pdaoust | (but not multiverse) | 08:37 |
| Kickstart | what's the sources.list line for universe? Ok to have both? | 08:38 |
| _nicolas_ | ok | 08:38 |
| bob2 | just add the word 'universe' before 'multiverse' | 08:38 |
| pdaoust | yep, here's my pertinent lines: K-Rich: well, I had no choice about | 08:38 |
| pdaoust | whoa, that's completely the wrong line | 08:38 |
| pdaoust | wrong key :) | 08:38 |
| pdaoust | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty universe multiverse | 08:38 |
| pdaoust | there we go :) | 08:39 |
| Kickstart | cool...updating now | 08:39 |
| pdaoust | rockin' | 08:39 |
| Kickstart | no java-common | 08:40 |
| Kickstart | :( | 08:40 |
| pdaoust | Kickstart: well ain't that just feces | 08:40 |
| pdaoust | hmmmmmmmmmm | 08:40 |
| Kickstart | attempting to reselect the jdk | 08:40 |
| Kickstart | j2sdk I mean | 08:41 |
| Kickstart | "java-common does not appear to be available" with blackdown | 08:41 |
| pdaoust | blast it!!! what's going on?!? | 08:42 |
| Kickstart | same deal with sun j2re | 08:42 |
| pdaoust | let's see what other repositories I have enabled. | 08:42 |
| pdaoust | Kickstart: do you have 'restricted' repository enabled? | 08:42 |
| zaeem | bob2, i have changed my sources from warty to hoary to perform a dist upgrade...how can i start from the command line now? | 08:43 |

| Kickstart | deb http://jrfonseca.dyndns.org/debian ./ | 08:44 |
| pdaoust | Kickstart? really? | 08:44 |
| Kickstart | yep...that's egrep -v '#' /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:44 |
| pdaoust | hmmm, you should have a line that says deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty main | 08:45 |
| bob2 | zaeem: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:45 |

| Kickstart | FWIW, that was from the default install, so I expect other n00bs will have lots of trouble. | 08:48 |
| pdaoust | Kickstart: yeah, that's weird; maybe I changed it as soon as I installed, so I forgot about it | 08:48 |

| woody | great | 10:08 |
| jeff2 | gentoo i386 and amd64. i'm going to switch them over to ubuntu amd64 soon | 10:08 |
| woody | Can we boot Fedora 3, Slackware 10, Ubuntu from a single hard disk ? | 10:09 |
| crimsun | you can boot as many as you want | 10:09 |
| crimsun | personally it's easiest to just use chroots as opposed to separate partitions | 10:09 |
| woody | Well I am quite new to chroots | 10:11 |
| woody | crimsun, What is the basic concept of chroots ? | 10:11 |
| crimsun | see chroot(8) | 10:12 |
| bob2 | there usually isn't any point to booting more than one or two distributions | 10:12 |
| woody | But that will just give just different shells | 10:13 |
| crimsun | chroots are much more than just different shells | 10:14 |
| woody | So regarding multiple Linux booting, does it matter which distros we install first | 10:14 |
| bob2 | they're seperate systems sharing a kernel | 10:14 |
| bob2 | woody: no | 10:14 |
| neighborlee | can someone assist me with getting either k3b or xcdroast to burn an ISO but extract its contents ( ie: not burn the iso as is) ??...I could do from command line but that gets old ;-) | 10:14 |

| BlacKnight| | i'm just thinking whether i should even bother with sata | 10:18 |

| BlacKnight| | or the same in seagate for 178 | 10:24 |
| BlacKnight| | and the same in maxtor for 166 | 10:24 |
| calc | pata vs sata is basically the same unless your controller supports tcq/ncq and the drive does too | 10:24 |
| calc | then sata could be faster | 10:24 |

| HcE | and the drives which followed the deathstars (60gxp and 75gxp) were excellent drives | 10:26 |

| calc | which is why they got out of the market entirely | 10:27 |
| bob2 | calc: ah | 10:28 |
| calc | yea i loved my ibm drives before they died | 10:28 |
| stuNNed | i remember that with those ibm drives | 10:28 |

| calc | Alessio: just ask the question we might be able to answer | 10:28 |
| calc | stuNNed: nice :) | 10:28 |
| Alessio | if i try: fetchmail -v (it works) | 10:29 |
| Alessio | if i try: fetchmail -d 10 (it doesn't works, it does'nt download email) | 10:29 |
| Alessio | i wait but nothing | 10:29 |
| Alessio | i insert in fetchmailrc: set daemon 10 | 10:30 |
| Alessio | it's the same | 10:30 |
| stuNNed | calc, just imagining ;) | 10:30 |
| calc | -d 10 is every 10s | 10:30 |
| calc | maybe it gets confused | 10:30 |
| stuNNed | calc, but really what are drives that large for anyways besides pirated material (home use)? | 10:30 |
| Alessio | fetchamail is in top.. every 2-3 sec but it doesn't download | 10:30 |
| calc | try setting it to 600 instead (10 min) | 10:31 |

| HcE | hehe | 10:31 |
| HcE | stuNNed: 5 mins of DV cam editing quickly eats about 3-4GB | 10:31 |
| calc | digital video and pictures take a lot of space as well | 10:31 |
| HcE | so, go figure when you're going to edit a whole tape? | 10:32 |
| calc | DV is 12 or 18GB/hr i don't remember which | 10:32 |

| HcE | yes | 10:33 |

| housetier | will apt-get only works on repositories, it does get the information from a file, but not just any file on your filesystem | 01:41 |
| housetier | will apt-get buid-dep will try to find build-dep information about the given package in its database, then download and configure the packages one would need to actually compile the given package | 01:42 |
| will | ah okay | 01:42 |
| housetier | will and since bmp is in the repository, chances are that its build-dep information is as well | 01:43 |

| housetier | will you can, but its not necessary. besides you might want to update soon, keeping the source tree makes the cvs update simpler and quicker | 01:49 |

| housetier | Bolga you might have a directory "coco" in /usr/lib/games/quake2 which probably is a leftover from the previous copy attempts. It is my guess you can safely remove this one directory | 01:51 |

| Bolga | ah, unset, that is | 01:53 |
| housetier | Bolga the command to delete something is "rm" for remove, rm usually only works on files. however, you can delete a directory and its contents with "rm -r /path/to/the/directory" | 01:53 |
| housetier | to delete an empty directory use "rmdir" | 01:53 |

| Se7h | Cloudchaser it is | 02:05 |
| svenl | (and do anyone have experience with the ralink wireless rt2500 ? | 02:06 |

| Cloudchaser | so the vid gets me every time | 02:06 |
| Cloudchaser | i can only play old games ;) | 02:06 |
| Friczy | svenl: the standard way to make a kernel is the same as in Debian as I know | 02:10 |
| Friczy | svenl: apt-get install kernel-package | 02:10 |
| Se7h | Cloudchaser u saying u want to pay ? | 02:10 |
| svenl | Friczy: it is to build modules for the official kernels, not building a kernel. | 02:10 |
| Se7h | lol | 02:10 |
| Friczy | svenl: I'm afraid you should recompile the kernel itself with the modules | 02:10 |
| svenl | Friczy: and thanks, but being the debian powerpc kernel (co-)maintainer, i know about kernel-package. | 02:11 |
| Friczy | or you can try make-kpkg modules_image | 02:11 |
| Friczy | but in this case you need the kernel source as well | 02:12 |
| Friczy | svenl: ok. sorry :) | 02:12 |
| svenl | Friczy: but it should be possible to build modules with some files from kernel-source tree that was used to build it, in debian it is kernel-headers, and kernel-build, if i remember well. | 02:12 |
| === barlas [~barlas@barlas.user] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| svenl | kernel-headers being generic, and kernel-build coming with the actual kernel subarch (k7, k8, and so on). | 02:13 |
| svenl | Wondered if this changed on ubuntu or not, will investigate, but thanks. | 02:13 |
| svenl | That said, it seems i am lucky, and the ralink wifi stuff got GPLed drivers, altough not very mature ones. | 02:14 |

| ogra | twinsoul: the plan is to use the upcoming bruning functionallity in rhythmbox for audio and the already existing data burning in nautilus | 05:29 |
| florian | it begins to freeze with "starting hotplug subsystem" ... as i read on the web i try a "alt-sysrq-e" to continue | 05:29 |

| florian | after that it freezes when trying to install packages | 05:30 |

| linuxjones | florian, how old is that mobo ? | 05:30 |
| florian | i bought it for christmas :) | 05:30 |
| ogra | florian: is it from a burned iso or a shipped ubuntu cd ? | 05:31 |

| flodin | why does ubuntu tie distro releases to specific versions of applications, rather than continuously providing updates of individual applications as new versions become available? (e.g.: firefox 1.0) | 05:47 |

| rattboi | no, that's true | 05:49 |

| flodin | ogra: i'm not sure what the difference is between that and what i said, but still, why do they do that? | 05:49 |
| ogra | i.e. if you use it in your company setup | 05:49 |
| rattboi | flodin, what would you prefer? | 05:49 |
| rattboi | isos every time a program gets updated? :P | 05:49 |
| ogra | flodin: because its a way to guarantee a 6 months release cycle... all other ways wouldnt work | 05:50 |
| flodin | rattboi: no need for isos, just put the new deb package up on the main repository | 05:50 |
| maps73 | Hy, could anyone help me to install a new windows manager? thanks | 05:50 |
| rattboi | flodin, all the newest stuff usually means unstable | 05:50 |

| === zensleep is now known as zenwhen | ||
| rattboi | also, can you name a distro that does what you're saying? | 05:51 |
| ogra | flodin: which would burn valuable dev time from the upcoming release | 05:51 |
| flodin | ogra: but don't the application developers already do this? Are you saying that ubuntu feels firefox 1.0 is a less stable program than 0.9? | 05:51 |
| ogra | flodin: yes, it was when warty got stable | 05:51 |
| zenwhen | flodin, it isnt so hard to compile firefox yourself. | 05:51 |
| zenwhen | ;) | 05:52 |
| rattboi | very not hard | 05:52 |
| rattboi | I did it and I'm a retard | 05:52 |
| zenwhen | see> | 05:52 |
| zenwhen | :P | 05:52 |
| flodin | ogra: yes but i mean now. Why does it take time from developers to put the deb package for 1.0 out now, if they're going to be putting that on the next iso anyway | 05:52 |
| ogra | flodin: i.e. many probs with https based homebanking apps javascript was versy broken etc | 05:52 |
| rattboi | flodin, because that's the stable branch | 05:52 |
| occy | are there any good apps like ytalk or talk based on gnome? | 05:52 |
| flodin | zenwhen: no, but as a general solution that makes it hard to keep track where files are put on your filesystem if you want to remove the package later | 05:53 |
| zenwhen | ogra, If I am not mistaken it also broke internationalazation, which defeated the whoe POINT of Ubuntu. | 05:53 |
| ogra | flodin: because stable means it wont recieve upadates that aer not critical...so they can concentrate on testing and developing the next stable relaese | 05:53 |
| zenwhen | flodin, checkinstall; probelm solved | 05:53 |
| ogra | zenwhen: yep :) | 05:53 |
| flodin | ok. | 05:54 |

| ogra | flodin: so you can talk to your CTO and suggest him to use it in a company .... something thats impossible with debian | 05:56 |

| flodin | rattboi: i believe it is yes, i don't remember | 05:58 |
| rattboi | yeah, I use 3.4.2, I believe | 05:58 |
| rattboi | for my project | 05:58 |
| rattboi | but that's ARM-based, so completely different | 05:59 |
| flodin | well the front end is still the same | 05:59 |
| flodin | and that underwent huge changes between 3.2 and 3.3 iirc | 05:59 |
| flodin | for c++ that is | 05:59 |
| flodin | they replaced the entire parser | 05:59 |
| rattboi | I know the backend in 3.4 changed a lot for ARM | 06:00 |

| ogra | flodin: its just not the default | 06:01 |
| flodin | ogra: no problem so far i'm just seeing that this could become a problem in the future | 06:01 |
| ogra | flodin: being 6 months outdated , oh come on... | 06:01 |
| rattboi | ogra, sometimes it matters | 06:02 |
| ogra | flodin: if you need bleeding edge you _can_ use hoary | 06:02 |
| zenwhen | ogra, he means when the internet stops existing and apt-get becomes worthless and we are all nomadic software devs praying for the internet to come back again. | 06:02 |

| zenwhen | If you need the latest version of verything dished up to you on a silver platter five seconds after release, gentoo might be a good idea. | 06:03 |
| pdaoust | hey, has anybody had experience with Firefox segfaulting when you go to a page with an exotic language, like Japanese? | 06:04 |
| zenwhen | I speak for myself though. | 06:04 |
| flodin | zenwhen: i've tried various distributions including gentoo, and i like that a lot. Its package system has some design flaws though that haven't been fixed yet | 06:04 |
| pdaoust | flodin: what sort of design flaws does Portage have? I loved it when I used Gentoo | 06:04 |
| ogra | flodin: just for the record, ubuntu is totally tied to the gnome release schedule.... all the bellding edge stuff is always in the unstable branch....so you could always easily backport anything by recompiling it | 06:05 |
| flodin | ogra: then why am i running 2.7 and not 2.8? :) | 06:05 |
| ogra | flodin: dunno, what have you done to your system ? on the relaes cd is 2.8 | 06:05 |
| flodin | pdaoust: use flags are not inherited by dependencies. Let's say you set +real for mplayer to get realplayer support. It's not going to compile, because it depends on win32codecs which must also be compiled with +real for things to work | 06:06 |
| === derJunior [~derJunior@pD9E2950B.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| flodin | pdaoust: so you have to manually set +real on both packages. Doing that all manually is not a solution that works in the long run | 06:06 |

| flodin | ogra: i just inserted the which i downloaded today | 06:07 |
| flodin | *inserted the CD | 06:07 |
| pdaoust | flodin: ah, I getcha... but, if I'm not mistaken, dependency checking for USE flags is on the slate for one of the next versions of Portage, if it hasn't already arrived... | 06:07 |
| ogra | flodin: gmm, where did you get it ? | 06:07 |
| flodin | ogra: well build then. It downloads the dll and unpacks it. If you don't have +real it doesn't put the real player codec on your system | 06:07 |
| pdaoust | so nobody's had Firefox crash on a Japanese page, eh? | 06:07 |
| ogra | flodin: ah, ok...i was just courios....but then its only packaging...ok | 06:08 |
| flodin | ogra: ubuntu site | 06:08 |
| flodin | bbl, phone | 06:08 |
| pdaoust | I hate all these niggling bugs that seem to have no cause... not that I hate the bugs, because I know that as a programmer, my software has tons of bugs that need to be eradicated one-by-one... I just hate not knowing why these programs do these things... "Firefox segfaulted" isn't a very helpful error message ^_^ | 06:09 |
| Ribs | pdaoust, I doubt many people here visit japanese pages... | 06:09 |
| ogra | Ribs: except the japanese ppl :) | 06:09 |
| pdaoust | Ribs: even Megatokyo, which doesn't actually have Japanese characters, crashes, because its encoding is ShiftJIS | 06:09 |
| ogra | pdaoust: give us an url to check it | 06:09 |
| Ribs | User Match Matching '*!*@*.jp' | 06:09 |

| ogra | Ribs: i.e. try a whois on me ;) | 06:10 |
| pdaoust | worked fine until (?) | 06:10 |
| pdaoust | (i.e., I don't remember -- maybe I upgraded Firefox to 1.0... but downgrading it to 0.99 doesn't solve the problem) | 06:10 |

| ogra | pdaoust: funny drawings :) | 06:11 |

| jats- | do i have a bad cd or something | 06:58 |
| ogra | jats-: i guess that is stored in a udeb and only unpacked during the install process | 06:59 |
| jats- | ah | 07:00 |
| jats- | well, wtf can i do about this :P | 07:00 |
| ogra | sorry, no idea this is a very weird setup you got there.... | 07:01 |
| jats- | in /var/log/syslog it reads "user.notice hw-detect: Detecting hardware..." and then "user.notice hw-detect: Missing module 'ide-mod'" and so on | 07:01 |
| ogra | jats-: as said yesterday , 32MB has never been tested....even if it _could_ work | 07:02 |
| ogra | jats-: if its in an udeb , there is probably not enough space to unpack...... | 07:02 |
| jats- | hmm | 07:02 |

| rapha | ogra: Have you ever sat in front of fsck working its way through your 80GB hard drive when you REALLY need to read that E-Mail now? | 10:05 |
| rapha | Keybuk: ext3, not reiserfs. That I'd like to be the defautl. | 10:05 |
| rapha | s/tl/lt. | 10:05 |
| ogra | rapha: i once in 98 built a 3 TB array with 40 disks on reiser with samba on top ..... wasnt that funny to reinstall all the DLT tapes | 10:05 |
| Keybuk | rapha: you can select reiser when partitioning if you like it. | 10:05 |
| rapha | ogra: You mean 1998? Boy, reiserfs was brand-new back then. | 10:05 |
| Keybuk | given reiser's descent into the murky depths of "non-freeness" and "crackfulness", I don't think it's a good option | 10:06 |
| rapha | Keybuk: I know, and I did that. But how is ReiserFS "non-free" and "crackful"? | 10:06 |
| ogra | rapha: hans considered it absolutely stable and suse shipped it back then | 10:06 |
| Keybuk | personally, I'd like XFS-in-LVM to be the default with all partitions dynamically resized to need; but it needs a little more stability first | 10:06 |
| nomasteryoda | ext3 is a journalized filesystem... | 10:06 |
| Keybuk | rapha: reiser4, debian-devel, passim. | 10:06 |
| ogra | Keybuk: yay !!! | 10:06 |
| rapha | ogra: Well, the rest of the world considers it absolutely stable now. | 10:06 |
| rapha | Keybuk: Nobody is talking about Reiser 4. | 10:07 |

| yorkomo | by default, apt-get using the stable tree, right? | 10:07 |
| Keybuk | rapha: given reiser considers reiser3 obsolete and deprecated ... ? | 10:07 |
| pw | hmm, it seems my CDROM drive will boot the livecd stuff, but not isolinux | 10:07 |
| rapha | nomasteryoda: ... a "journalized filesystem" which needs lengthy filesystem checks every so often. | 10:07 |

| spikeb | rest of the world? i can't think of any distro offhand that's using 4 not 3 | 10:08 |

| ogra | yorkomo: look at https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BreakMyUbuntu | 10:08 |

| ogra | yep | 10:09 |
| Pozac | yep | 10:09 |
| rapha | Keybuk: Well, then let's hope there'll be an ext4 which doesn't need fscking in the very near future. | 10:09 |

| === ogra would like to see / on xfs in hoary as an option | ||
| Pozac | rapha, fsck when you have the time then ? | 10:09 |

| rapha | Besides that, I know no Linux PC that wouldn't run ReiserFS (3). | 10:09 |

| Pozac | rapha, so if you fsck it manually after say 17 mounts, doesnt that reset the mount count? | 10:12 |

| calc | Keybuk: ah | 10:13 |
| zenrox | lol | 10:13 |
| Keybuk | XFS zeroing files is just like ext3 sticking them in lost+found | 10:13 |
| rapha | Pozac: Yes it does. But tell my granny to fsck her computer and also tell her that it'll take overnight for her 80gig disk that came with her walmart PC and she'll tell you to install her something else because of the power bill. Some people ARE like that. | 10:13 |
| ogra | Keybuk: ever read the xfs_growfs manpage ? The filesystem must be mounted to be grown (see mount(8)). isnt that ubercool ? | 10:13 |

| Setite | indeed.... but ive been trying to figure out his work schedule | 10:30 |
| ogra | emanuelez: for firefox there is the about:config url, you can disable v6 there | 10:30 |
| Setite | and i dunno.. he must work when i do | 10:30 |
| WeedVender | I have another question. | 10:30 |
| WeedVender | Where can I learn the linux commands? | 10:30 |
| ogra | emanuelez: v6 is out since 6 years now, they should have it enabled....(but many have not) | 10:30 |
| emanuelez | ogra, ifconfig show info about both ppp0 and eth0. ppp0 have inet address while eth has only inet6 address. isn't this weird? | 10:30 |
| Setite | i have an ebook full of them | 10:30 |
| zenrox | WeedVender, www.linuxhelp.org | 10:31 |
| ogra | emanuelez: nope... it is the future | 10:31 |
| emanuelez | ogra, interesting firefox hint | 10:31 |
| Setite | weed you got a virii scanner | 10:31 |
| emanuelez | ogra, but shouldn't even ppp0 have an ipv6 address then? | 10:31 |
| WeedVender | thanks | 10:31 |
| will | ogra: plugins still there, but no bookmarks | 10:31 |
| WeedVender | No I don't | 10:31 |
| ogra | emanuelez: try another dns, you can set a prefix in the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file | 10:32 |
| Setite | ok.. nm use that site | 10:32 |
| Setite | due to past experiences i dont send files unless the person has a scanner | 10:32 |

| Setite | need to wait till payday.. then ill order what i need | 10:33 |
| Setite | that shit sucked mad ass | 10:34 |
| Pozac | heh | 10:34 |
| ogra | spikeb: at least for me with 4GB mp3/ogg files over nfs | 10:34 |
| Setite | i was stuck in 640x480 | 10:34 |
| Pozac | hehe | 10:34 |
| Setite | couldnt do shit at that resolution | 10:34 |
| spikeb | heh | 10:34 |
| Setite | pardon the language | 10:34 |
| Setite | forgot | 10:34 |
| emanuelez | ogra, i thought the problem was between eth0 (ipv6) and ppp0 (ipv4) | 10:34 |
| Pozac | too high bitdepth | 10:34 |
| Setite | what? | 10:34 |
| Setite | bitdepth | 10:34 |
| Setite | whats that | 10:34 |
| Setite | well while loading i saw it decide on a driver and list 3 resolutions | 10:35 |
| Pozac | how many bits it should use to save the color of a pixel.. like 16,24 or 32 bit | 10:35 |
| Setite | 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480 | 10:35 |
| ogra | emanuelez: ppp sits on top of eth if you use dsl... there is no ip protocol spoken on eth afaik | 10:35 |
| Setite | but it wouldnt let me change resolution | 10:35 |
| Setite | first time ive ever had a problem with any linux | 10:35 |
| Pozac | if your graphics card lacks memory, lower the bitdepth in XF86Config file | 10:35 |
| ogra | emanuelez: so it shouldnt matter | 10:35 |
| Setite | wtf... i should have to do that... grr | 10:36 |

| mike998 | calc: thanks... gonna write that one down | 10:59 |
| num3ga | stuNNed>o ok....then i'll be able to activate the root account? | 10:59 |
| neighborlee | anyone else having problems running 'sessions'...it wont run from the Menu but it does from terminal but only as root ? | 10:59 |
| ogra | num3ga: sudo passwd -l root | 10:59 |
| stuNNed | num3ga, at root prompt, type 'passwd' to reset | 11:00 |
| emanuelez | ok... solved my problem | 11:00 |
| Pozac | Setite, add a 'VideoRam 16384' block to the Device section in /etc/X11/XF86Config (for 16mb) | 11:00 |
| calc | mike998: "man sh" explains IFS if you are interested | 11:00 |
| emanuelez | now... on with another one LOL | 11:00 |
| num3ga | stuNNed>what if it asks for a old password? | 11:00 |
| Pozac | ogra, thanks :) | 11:00 |
| Zotnix | I set a root password... it is different from my sudo password which remains my user password. | 11:00 |
| mike998 | will check it out | 11:00 |
| Zotnix | clan Granted, I did a "sudo passwd" | 11:00 |
| stuNNed | num3ga, it won't, you will be logged in as root. | 11:00 |

| emanuelez | added azureus like explained in the unofficial ubuntu guide in the topic. but... the menu i create in gnome does not work. this is very weird | 11:01 |
| stuNNed | num3ga, ah, just use sudo. | 11:01 |
| num3ga | stuNNed>o ok.....thanks.....if i need more help, i'll be back | 11:01 |
| calc | mike998: for files with spaces in them they end up being treated as separate parts unless you reset IFS="(hit enter)" which tells it not to consider space as a delimiter | 11:01 |
| ogra | Zotnix: why did you break the safety of your system with a root pw ? | 11:01 |
| stuNNed | num3ga, np yw :) | 11:01 |
| stuNNed | azureus seems buggy. | 11:01 |
| calc | ogra: ssh doesn't allow root logins does it? | 11:02 |
| ogra | calc: it shouldnt | 11:02 |
| emanuelez | stuNNed, sure? it seems like a gnome problem | 11:02 |
| calc | and if someone has physical access to your box init=/bin/sh kinda defeats the whole password issue | 11:02 |
| Zotnix | When I need to do multiple commands I and moving things around I like staying in root. | 11:02 |
| ogra | calc: but you can break that indeed | 11:02 |
| ogra | Zotnix: sudo -s | 11:02 |
| stuNNed | emanuelez, every time i've installed it, it has trouble starting, isn't it java based? maybe 1.5 fixes that. | 11:02 |
| stuNNed | emanuelez, i prefer gnome bittorent | 11:03 |
| calc | but using root much isn't really advisable, setting a password in itself doesn't do much of anything though wrt security | 11:03 |
| ogra | calc: if someone has phys access he can use a livecd | 11:03 |
| === mc00517_ is now known as mac1 | ||
| emanuelez | stuNNed, cool... is it in the repositories? | 11:03 |
| calc | ogra: yes, but just editting the grub entry to set init=/bin/sh is even easier | 11:03 |
| calc | no need to carry around a cd | 11:03 |
| Zotnix | I don't like the idea of my root password being the same as my user password | 11:04 |
| ogra | calc: ever booted ubuntu in single (recovery) mode ? | 11:04 |
| emanuelez | stuNNed, i only see bittorrent and bittornado here :( | 11:04 |
| calc | ogra: long ago | 11:04 |
| ogra | Zotnix: you are wrong, there is _no_ root pw | 11:04 |
| === calc takes a look to see what it does | ||
| Zotnix | Well... I mean I don't like being able to issue commands from the same password. | 11:05 |
| stuNNed | emanuelez, one sec | 11:05 |
| emanuelez | stuNNed, ok | 11:05 |
| calc | it just does the standard single user mode, which normally asks for a password iirc | 11:05 |
| ogra | emanuelez: its on sf | 11:05 |
| ogra | emanuelez: a deb is available there for download | 11:06 |

| stuNNed | emanuelez, i think i got it the way ogra says :) | 11:06 |

| calc | single just apparently doesn't when there is no password set | 11:08 |
| ogra | calc: like single mode or mounting with a livecd | 11:08 |
| num3ga | ogra>that disables the root account....i want to enable it | 11:08 |
| Pozac | Setite, I hope so too :) | 11:08 |

| zenrox | tjs, put that on the forums | 11:09 |
| ogra | num3ga: just tried to confirm (even its bad and evil to have root around) works here | 11:09 |
| tjs | okay, cheers :) | 11:09 |
