| jaye | Thanks Cloudchaser. | 12:03 |
| ACIDnet_ | jaye: is there somewhere i can post the code for you to look at and see if u can see whats wrong | 12:04 |
| Cloudchaser | np once you get that set up then you mount the shares with read/write permissions for users | 12:04 |
| ACIDnet_ | im very new to C++, doing it as part of comp sci and the notes aint great | 12:04 |
| Cloudchaser | put a line in /etc/fstab and have it mount them automatically | 12:04 |
| winipegm | ok easy question how do i get my aplications i installed to show on the taskbar thingy | 12:04 |
| winipegm | or rather the list of programs | 12:04 |

| ACIDnet_ | jaye: Its just a mini-shell, read in a line from the user, and do something based on it - and loop | 12:06 |

| tjs | anyone having trouble with python-codegen-2.0 from the python-gtk2-dev package not finding gdk-types.defs? | 12:19 |
| tjs | in hoary that is | 12:19 |
| izmaelis | how to enable apps to use gtk2 instead of gtk? | 12:19 |
| spikeb | thats a programming decision for many apps | 12:20 |
| spikeb | and a compile time option for the rest | 12:20 |
| izmaelis | so it's impossible if using binary installation method? | 12:21 |
| winipegm | spike do i just do ut2004 in run to start game? | 12:21 |
| jaye | how do I make a file not read only? | 12:21 |

| spikeb | winipegm, yes | 12:23 |
| spikeb | izmaelis, believe so | 12:23 |
| jaye | I have to go out of my way to open a command prompt to chmod a file just to edit it. | 12:23 |
| winipegm | ok | 12:23 |
| winipegm | what happends is it opens the folder | 12:23 |
| spikeb | hmm | 12:24 |
| calc | jaye: there are other various ways depending on what you are trying to do | 12:24 |
| spikeb | winipegm, run ut2004 from the console, or look for a menu entry | 12:24 |
| jaye | I want to edit the smb config file. | 12:24 |
| jaye | it's read only | 12:24 |
| spikeb | in the applications menu | 12:24 |
| Cloudchaser | use sudo | 12:24 |
| winipegm | ok | 12:24 |
| Cloudchaser | sudo gedit smb.conf | 12:24 |
| Cloudchaser | or whatever editor you want to use | 12:24 |
| winipegm | in term just type ut2004? | 12:24 |
| spikeb | winipegm, yeah | 12:25 |
| izmaelis | gtk1 interface is ugly enough for me to compile apps on my own | 12:25 |
| jaye | I have to be in the command prompt to do that though. Takes the point out of gui. | 12:25 |
| winipegm | bash: ut2004: command not found | 12:25 |
| Cloudchaser | yup | 12:25 |
| spikeb | izmaelis, you can fix that | 12:25 |
| winipegm | =( | 12:25 |
| spikeb | winipegm, try /usr/local/games/ut2004 or something similar | 12:25 |
| winipegm | ok | 12:25 |
| Cloudchaser | same thing will happen when you try to unmount your shares from the desktop icons by right-clicking on them | 12:25 |
| calc | jaye: sudo vim path/filename | 12:25 |
| spikeb | izmaelis, install industrial for gtk1, and change your theme from human to industrial | 12:25 |
| Cloudchaser | i think though | 12:26 |
| Cloudchaser | you can change the command to run gedit graphically | 12:26 |
| calc | or see if there is a smb config gui installed already that modifies it | 12:26 |
| Cloudchaser | like... | 12:26 |
| spikeb | winipegm, actually, it'd be /usr/local/games/ut2004/ut2004 or such | 12:26 |
| Cloudchaser | you put "gksudo" in front of the command in the menu | 12:26 |
| Cloudchaser | and it will prompt you for a password | 12:26 |

| === sid77 is now known as sid77_ | ||

| spikeb | winipegm, well look for the right directory | 12:28 |
| winipegm | the exe is in the System folder | 12:28 |

| jaye | add sudo infront of the command? | 12:30 |
| winipegm | :( | 12:30 |
| Cloudchaser | what i would suggest though..would be to add gedit into menu again as root gedit or something | 12:30 |
| Cloudchaser | so you don't always access it as sudo | 12:30 |
| jaye | Does it readonly everything by default? | 12:30 |
| Cloudchaser | not | 12:30 |
| Cloudchaser | no | 12:31 |
| Cloudchaser | only system files | 12:31 |

| jaye | ok then it's not a big deal. | 12:31 |
| Cloudchaser | things that only root can edit | 12:31 |
| jaye | in the smb config is the ; preceding a line a comment out? | 12:32 |
| Cloudchaser | yes | 12:32 |
| Cloudchaser | so if you want that line, remove the semicolon | 12:32 |
| jaye | k | 12:32 |
| Cloudchaser | i set samba server to do wins | 12:32 |

| Cloudchaser | your_system_username = "your network username" | 01:10 |
| guidedspirit | no | 01:10 |
| guidedspirit | i mest up | 01:10 |
| jaye | The username in the windows login box, right? | 01:10 |
| linuxjones | guidedspirit, ok don't that would be bad | 01:10 |
| guidedspirit | so what do i input in the vi thing | 01:10 |
| Cloudchaser | the smbpasswd = your linux username | 01:10 |
| guidedspirit | exactly what do i put | 01:10 |
| Cloudchaser | and pw | 01:10 |
| linuxjones | guidedspirit, use nano vi and emacs are for 3-fingered hippies | 01:10 |
| ultrakorne | how sudo works in ubuntu, i need to add a cmd without passwd but "ultra ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/savepower" doesnt work | 01:10 |

| winipegm | calc where else would i find that | 01:11 |
| guidedspirit | ? | 01:11 |
| guidedspirit | so i am in vi | 01:11 |
| Cloudchaser | where i get confused is...if you have two different windows login names, do you do it for each | 01:11 |
| linuxjones | guidedspirit, don't use vi | 01:11 |
| guidedspirit | what do i put in for that file | 01:11 |

| nicedreams | cloudchaser: what's the ip of the windows box | 02:58 |

| Cloudchaser | i just can't ping by name | 02:59 |
| nuOpus | oh | 02:59 |
| nicedreams | then get the pc name | 02:59 |
| Cloudchaser | i can see my shares :) | 02:59 |
| nuOpus | cloudchaser: then you need to set up DNS | 02:59 |
| nicedreams | goto properties from mycomputer | 03:00 |
| nuOpus | or edit your hosts file | 03:00 |
| Cloudchaser | i have dhcp and the adresses change | 03:00 |
| method55-laptop | i have a list of the option values i need to set | 03:00 |
| method55-laptop | how do i set them | 03:00 |
| jaye | At least you can see other computers | 03:00 |
| nicedreams | cloudchaser: what OS is your windows | 03:00 |
| Cloudchaser | so if i set a host file and the address changes, its useless | 03:00 |
| nuOpus | if the addresses change all the type you have to set up a DNS server | 03:00 |
| Cloudchaser | windows 2000 | 03:00 |
| nuOpus | and have it update the zones dynamically | 03:00 |
| method55-laptop | ogra: i have a list of the option values i need to set , how do i set them | 03:00 |
| nicedreams | cloudchaser: give yourself static ips | 03:00 |
| Cloudchaser | nuOpus, thats not necessary | 03:00 |
| Cloudchaser | i know that it isn't..i've never had dns servers | 03:00 |
| speel | how do you check a md5sum on the ubuntu cd .. i know its the md5sum command but what do i type | 03:00 |
| nuOpus | oh ... then go static! | 03:01 |
| nuOpus | lol | 03:01 |
| nicedreams | lol | 03:01 |
| Cloudchaser | and been able to do it on rh9 with samba doing wins | 03:01 |
| nuOpus | to ping? | 03:01 |
| ogra | method55-laptop: after the modulename in the modprobe command option=value | 03:01 |
| Cloudchaser | things are different in ubuntu | 03:01 |
| nicedreams | just do ip numbers instead of names | 03:01 |
| nicedreams | addresses | 03:01 |
| nuOpus | ping uses icmp ... has nothing to do with samba in ANY distribution | 03:01 |
| method55-laptop | oka | 03:01 |
| method55-laptop | thanks | 03:01 |
| nuOpus | so ... setting up wins wont help you ping unless there is a dynamic dns going on | 03:02 |

| Cloudchaser | all in different rooms ;) | 03:03 |
| nicedreams | cloud: set this <ipaddress: 192.168.0.10, 11> on one and other pc, then <subnetmask 255.255.255.0>, <gateway 192.168.0.1>, dns <192.168.0.1> | 03:03 |
| crimsun | it works fine with gf4 mxes, though. | 03:04 |
| punkrockguy318 | crimsun, other people have been having problems too | 03:04 |
| punkrockguy318 | crimsun, there's a thread on the nvidia forums about it, they say just go back to 6111 | 03:04 |
| crimsun | punkrockguy318: then you'll have to apply a patch to compile against the hoary kernel | 03:04 |
| crimsun | punkrockguy318: perhaps you should have stuck w/ warty? :) | 03:05 |
| punkrockguy318 | crimsun, eh, maybe.. but that's okay | 03:05 |
| punkrockguy318 | crimsun, is there a 6111 src-deb that I can compile? | 03:05 |
| crimsun | punkrockguy318: no. | 03:06 |
| punkrockguy318 | crimsun, do you know what the patch is for the nvidia drivers? and will this patch work with the 6111? | 03:06 |
| crimsun | punkrockguy318: there is 'nvidia-kernel-source', but you will have to patch it to compile it against linux-kernel-headers-2.6.9foo | 03:06 |
| crimsun | err | 03:06 |
| nuOpus | smartpm can intelligently handle multiple repositories so you can add warty distro as the main and ALSO add hoary. It lets you assign top priority to warty so you can install some packages from hoary without messing things up | 03:06 |
| nicedreams | i got the newest nvidia drivers working on my nvidia | 03:06 |
| crimsun | linux-headers-2.6.9foo | 03:06 |
| nicedreams | nu0pus: forgot about that, gonna hit it up | 03:07 |

| JDahl | jaye, sudo /etc/init.d/<service> (stop|start|restart)... In this case use "stop" | 05:18 |
| Cloudchaser | but it starts auto when you boot ubuntu | 05:18 |

| zenrox | hehehe | 05:20 |
| s1amson | cuz, if so, imma d/l :D | 05:20 |
| JDahl | Cloudchaser, then I guess you would have to manually edit the /etc/init.d/<service> script... I dont think you can do it another way. For inspiration the init script that comes with openafs-client does exactly that: "start" does nothing, you have to manually start it with "force-start" | 05:21 |
| zenrox | s1amson, hmm let me look for you ill spoon feed ya | 05:21 |
| s1amson | ^^ he sounds smart, maybe he knows | 05:21 |
| zenrox | s1amson, thay are all smart | 05:21 |

| Cloudchaser | easy enough | 05:30 |
| jaye | ok | 05:30 |
| s1amson | Greywolf73 im new to it, but - if it works in ther live eval - it'll work on install | 05:30 |

| JDahl | Greywolf73, it works for me... out of curiosity - do you have a recent Dell machine? | 05:32 |

| Greywolf73 | I was guessing it had something to do with the motherboard | 05:34 |
| Cloudchaser | how do you find out where a package is installed to? | 05:34 |

| warty | er.... anyone got a sec for a silly question? | 05:35 |
| zenrox | shure | 05:36 |
| JDahl | Cloudchaser, dpkg -S <pkg> if the package is installed, or apt-cache search <pkg> to get info on packages that may not be installed | 05:36 |
| zenrox | ask away werty | 05:36 |
| Cloudchaser | thanks | 05:36 |
| mthoro | Cloudchaser: "sudo updatedb" and use the locate command | 05:36 |
| Cloudchaser | hehe i do that | 05:36 |
| warty | does Ubuntu allow dual monitors support or a resolution over 1024x768? | 05:36 |
| Cloudchaser | but i figured there was a dpkg command but i couldn't figure it out from man | 05:37 |
| spikeb | warty, yes to the second | 05:37 |
| zenrox | yes to bolth | 05:37 |
| spikeb | warty, the automatic config thign is just too stupid to config for above 1024x768 | 05:37 |
| warty | no dual monitor though? ;_; | 05:37 |
| maximaus | Cloudchaser, "whereis" is also a handy command for finding stuff | 05:37 |
| spikeb | i would assume dual monitors work just fine | 05:37 |

| infie | And changed fstab | 06:09 |
| zenrox | like sudo mount -t fstype /dev/hdX(x=abcd) /mnt/foo | 06:09 |

| zenrox | infie, ya | 06:10 |
| infie | however the burn dialog doesn't let me do anything but make an image now | 06:10 |
| JayeAeotiv | should be hdb | 06:10 |
| infie | yup. | 06:10 |
| infie | I changed fstab from hdd to hdb | 06:10 |
| JayeAeotiv | because it's not a partition | 06:10 |

| zenrox | s1amson, you shouldent | 06:19 |
| s1amson | kk | 06:20 |
| zenrox | s1amson, slax and most any other distros can only read ntfs | 06:20 |
| s1amson | main reason for going live eval is due to netcaqrd | 06:20 |
| s1amson | slax cant | 06:20 |
| s1amson | not the live eval ( which is called slaz) | 06:20 |
| s1amson | well | 06:20 |
| s1amson | it can read it | 06:20 |
| s1amson | but it needs a place to store temp | 06:20 |
| s1amson | cant w on ntfs | 06:21 |
| s1amson | not live eval anyway | 06:21 |
| zenrox | but if you custom compile a kernel of your own for ubuntu using the kernel2.6.9 you can get it to write to ntfs | 06:21 |

| zenrox | wit will just give a list that has vector in it | 06:25 |
| s1amson | thats one original question | 06:25 |
| JDahl | ryan_, "apt-cache search vector" might also be helpful | 06:25 |
| ryan_ | nope...nothing with vector in it cept for some library, could it be in multiverse? | 06:25 |
| zenrox | me and JDahl will cover comand line and gui | 06:26 |

| s1amson | oh, sorry, didnt know it was vector specific - didnt see that in the q | 06:26 |

| zenrox | s1amson, its ok just settle down | 06:27 |
| ryan_ | i just installed inkscape, im gonna quickly check it out | 06:27 |
| WeedVender | so the Java runtime, and the xmms player that I have, synaptic can install it? | 06:27 |
| sulkd | can nautilus not write cds or dvds "on the fly" like without copying all the data to a udf image first? | 06:27 |
| sulkd | or iso for that matter | 06:27 |
| JDahl | WeedVender, it's a curses based interface to apt-get, with more intelligence (marks "recommended" etc for installation, and lets you toggle through dependencies) | 06:27 |
| zenrox | WeedVender, only if its on the respotories | 06:27 |
| zenrox | sulkd, ya thats what it does writes on the fly | 06:28 |
| zenrox | sulkd, not any thang else | 06:28 |
| ryan_ | ok, thx everyone | 06:29 |
| ryan_ | i think inkscape will do the job | 06:29 |
| sulkd | zenrox, no it creates an image first, then writes it | 06:29 |
| zenrox | sulkd, never does for me | 06:29 |
| zenrox | writes it on the fly | 06:29 |
| sulkd | zenrox, heh | 06:29 |
| zenrox | i put what i want in to it then burn it | 06:30 |
| sulkd | and you putting something into burn:/// and then burning it qualifies it as writing on the fly? | 06:30 |
| zenrox | yep | 06:30 |
| sulkd | regardless that it requires exactly the amount of free space as you are trying to burn, and then populates your /tmp with an iso or udf structure | 06:30 |
| zenrox | i guess i lernt something new | 06:31 |
| === discord [~discord@c66-235-3-16.sea2.cablespeed.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| zenrox | lol | 06:31 |
| sulkd | zenrox, that isn't writing on the fly.. that would mean it would create the image in memory and then write the chunks in sequence without using the disk | 06:31 |
| sulkd | yeah.. "lol" indeed.. | 06:31 |
| WeedVender | Im sorry for the inappropriateness of the question, but does anyone know where I can send email get well cards? | 06:32 |

| zenrox | sulkd, so thare for i dont thak you can truly burn on the fly | 06:32 |
| discord | how do i watch quicktime and wmv videos is there a package for the codecs? | 06:32 |
| WeedVender | A friend of mine who isnt feeling to good emotionally (girl) | 06:33 |
| zenrox | discord, yes win32codecs | 06:33 |
| discord | is that the package i download | 06:33 |
| zenrox | yes | 06:33 |
| discord | do i need to add a non free repositoty because i do not see it in my package search | 06:33 |
| discord | ? | 06:33 |
| WeedVender | those Win32codecs, do they include lossless codecs? | 06:34 |
| zenrox | ya and its broke at the moment | 06:34 |
| zenrox | WeedVender, like the ipod format | 06:34 |
| zenrox | or more like mp4's | 06:35 |
| WeedVender | no, not mp4 | 06:35 |
| spikeb | you dont need the win32 codec for AAC | 06:35 |
| WeedVender | mathematically lossless codecs | 06:36 |
| zenrox | ya spikeb is riht | 06:36 |
| spikeb | WeedVender, not in the essential win32 codec package | 06:36 |
| WeedVender | like the linux equivilant of huffyuv | 06:36 |
| spikeb | WeedVender, FLAC | 06:36 |
| WeedVender | ok.. thanks. | 06:36 |

| spikeb | WeedVender, yeah? | 06:39 |
| WeedVender | how can I install flash? | 06:39 |
| zenrox | steven_noob, nope | 06:39 |
| WeedVender | i mean like i found a site for the ecard but i need flash to preview something | 06:40 |
| spikeb | WeedVender, enable the multiverse repository, then search for flash in synaptic | 06:40 |
| zenrox | WeedVender, redad ubuntuguide.org | 06:40 |
| WeedVender | and it will work once i close synaptex | 06:40 |
| WeedVender | c* | 06:40 |
| spikeb | WeedVender, actually, i lied - enable multiverse, refresh, search for flash, install the right package, then it shoudl work | 06:41 |
| s1amson | wait | 06:41 |
| zenrox | i am here s1amson | 06:41 |
| s1amson | not support flash by default? | 06:41 |
| WeedVender | FLAC is audio! | 06:41 |

| zenrox | sudo is casue you dont have root | 06:47 |

| zenrox | su to take you in to a root console | 06:47 |

| spikeb | WeedVender, that sucks | 06:48 |
| spikeb | s1amson, there is A LOT of redundancy in the open source world | 06:48 |
| zenrox | sudo alows you to do root sommand in your sued account wirh out having to switch to a root console | 06:48 |

| TheGorf | Hi everyone, I have a question about installing packages. I need to install GTK+ (and some applications that rely on it) and was hoping to do it through Synaptic. Though synatpic seems to not have it listed. Someone suggested "apt-get" but I am not really familiar with Debian yet, so my attempts at that have failed as well. Anyone have any suggestions? | 06:58 |
| s1amson | btw | 06:58 |
| spikeb | i got some good repositories enabled in that config :) | 06:58 |
| zenrox | WeedVender, you do sudo cp /your/location/for/this/file/sources.list /ect/apt/sources.list | 06:58 |
| s1amson | this is prolly the most helpful nix chan i ever been to | 06:58 |
| spikeb | TheGorf, synaptic has it, it's libgtk1.2 | 06:58 |
| zenrox | s1amson, thats wht ubuntu means | 06:58 |
| nevyn | TheGorf: what applications that rely on gtk+ are you using? | 06:59 |
| spikeb | TheGorf, install industrial for gtk1, too :) | 06:59 |

| WeedVender | it prevents me from using the "make" command | 07:39 |

| WeedVender | ... | 07:41 |
| Scorp | sorry | 07:41 |
| Scorp | it's the truth | 07:41 |
| Scorp | no wonder it did poorly in theaters | 07:41 |
| Scorp | the general public is too stupid for it | 07:42 |
| WeedVender | no.. im just wondering how long has that movie been out | 07:42 |
| Scorp | they are not ready yet | 07:42 |
| Scorp | I just saw it I know | 07:42 |
| Scorp | I thought it sucked and waited to see it on HBO | 07:42 |
| WeedVender | it was acutally pretty good | 07:42 |

| Scorp | MAD isn't the point | 07:43 |
| Scorp | the point is | 07:43 |
| Scorp | we're building faster and better CPUs | 07:43 |
| WeedVender | i know | 07:43 |
| Scorp | the amount of data we can send from point a to point b is increasing very quickly | 07:43 |
| Scorp | and the software we write is getting exponentially more complex and therefore more bug ridden | 07:43 |
| Scorp | how long before someone writes a virus that will take advantage of our fast CPUs and fat lines | 07:44 |
| Scorp | to adept itself to everysystem and to intelligently find an exploit | 07:44 |
| Scorp | in all the shitty software out there | 07:44 |
| Scorp | since all exploits are just a variation on 1 original exploit, that virus wouldn't even have to be terribly intelligent | 07:44 |

| GentleHatemonger | da_bon_bon: Partition Magic goodness | 07:51 |

| WeedVender | IE is an excellent carrier | 07:53 |
| Scorp | GPL is for commies, although I should probably not say it in this channel | 07:53 |

| WeedVender | try IE, it spreads faster | 07:53 |

| Scorp | if you catch my drift | 07:54 |
| GentleHatemonger | Scorp, it just costs Bittorrent bandwidth | 07:54 |

| jeff2 | da_bon_bon: whats wrong with qtparted? | 07:54 |
| Scorp | GentleHatemonger: that's what I was implying by "it costs $" I meant he was going to have to warez it one way or another lol | 07:55 |
| Scorp | but I didn't want to actually suggest that | 07:55 |
| zeratha | I just did an upgrade and now the sound won't work. It can't seem to find the mixer or sound device. Can someone help please. | 07:55 |

| da_bon_bon | jeff2: gives me errors of ped_filesysstem_call or osmething | 07:55 |

| WeedVender | g++ or something | 07:56 |
| Scorp | it's a compiler | 07:56 |
| Scorp | WeedVender | 07:56 |
| Scorp | I think | 07:56 |
| Scorp | of sorts | 07:56 |
| da_bon_bon | then what do i do ? | 07:56 |
| jeff2 | zeratha: make sure you have the mixer and sound devices installed in your kernel | 07:56 |
| jeff2 | WeedVender: if you mean gcc, officially, its the GNU Compiler Collection, commonly used to compile C, but also has backends for C++, Fortran, Java | 07:57 |

| TheMuso | rvirani: What are you currently using/ | 09:02 |
| rvirani | gxine with libdvdcss2 | 09:02 |
| TheMuso | Have you tried totem with the xine backend? | 09:03 |
| TheMuso | That seems to work fine for me. | 09:03 |
| TheMuso | I tried gxine too, with the same problem, program crashed a short way into the DVD. | 09:03 |
| rvirani | TheMuso, well the dvd starts playing and then cras out and I get a nice segfault | 09:03 |
| TheMuso | Totem sometimes gives me blue screen for some weird reason, but can play DVDs with no problem. | 09:04 |
| calc | totem-xine works fine for me | 09:04 |
| TheMuso | And if you have the DVD autoplay turned on in removable storage, you only have to insert your DVD and set to full screen and you are away. | 09:05 |

| Jaye | wow | 09:24 |
| Jaye | I've been on it for 2 days. | 09:24 |
| Jaye | but only had a version installed for about 13 hours | 09:24 |
| zenrox | GoneBoB, first linux distro?? | 09:24 |
| Jaye | It's so hard | 09:24 |
| Jaye | but I think it'll be worth it. | 09:24 |
| WeedVende1 | anyway, what was that command to free up terminal? | 09:24 |
| Jaye | I hope | 09:24 |

| WeedVende1 | ok... | 09:26 |
| Fator_Dee | Savage is good too | 09:26 |
| JayeAeotiv | ahh | 09:26 |
| zenrox | its a win game that has a linux installer | 09:26 |
| JayeAeotiv | That's on nix? | 09:26 |
| WeedVende1 | xmms is out | 09:27 |
| WeedVende1 | but its not responding. | 09:27 |
| WeedVende1 | I press ctrl - z | 09:27 |
| JayeAeotiv | I wonder if baulder's gate would work on nix. | 09:27 |
| WeedVende1 | *closed terminal | 09:27 |
| Fator_Dee | bg2 works with cedega | 09:27 |
| JayeAeotiv | What's with always having to download sources and compile things with linux? | 09:27 |
| zenrox | WeedVende1, ya press crtl =c that will break it and then you can restart it | 09:27 |
| zenrox | ctrl +c = sopt curent running program | 09:28 |
| JayeAeotiv | Don't be understand the concept of releasing things in a nice, concise, easy to run package for morons like me? | 09:28 |
| GoneBoB | WeedVende1: type 'bg' | 09:28 |
| zenrox | sopt=stop | 09:28 |
| GoneBoB | ctrl-z suspends the current task | 09:28 |
| GoneBoB | running 'bg' backgrounds the task | 09:28 |
| GoneBoB | so it still runs | 09:28 |
| GoneBoB | you can also run xmms & | 09:28 |

| zenrox | then you can close the terminal | 09:29 |
| GoneBoB | yes, that's what I just said :) | 09:29 |
| zenrox | i just read that | 09:29 |
| GoneBoB | better off to exit the terminals also by typing 'exit' | 09:29 |

| mojo | biezt: i personally don't care what you do with codecs... all this patent/copyright stuff stifles creativity anyway, imho. | 12:45 |
| mojo | biezt: the point i wanted to make was that if you wanted to use the machine for common desktop use, which tends to include playing videos, surfin the web to sites with flash/shockwave content, and listening to MP3 music... well, you have to get your hands a little dirty to get that working in Ubuntu. Ubuntu strictly follows the free (as in freedom) philosopy with the software they package and enable by default. But they also believe in yo | 12:47 |
| mojo | ur freedom too, including freedom to add "non-free" software but you gotta do it yourself. | 12:47 |
| mojo | biezt: but if you just want to play with it as a server and don't care about a desktop use or media, then it is a fine choice | 12:48 |
| mojo | biezt: it may even help instill good admin practices, since it disables root login by default forcing you to use 'sudo' (super-user do) from a user account to do administrative tasks | 12:49 |
| mojo | biezt: ubuntu also parred down the package list so you don't wind up with sixteen editors, three web browsers, and nine whatchamajiggies on the default install. | 12:50 |

| stuNNed | ok, thanks, yes, i think anonymous is disabled. | 12:55 |

| dud | exclude it from installing liblame0 and libmp3lame0 | 01:06 |
| dud | as they are bugged in hoary | 01:06 |
| FallenHitokiri | which pakage do I have to install to run make-kpkg ? | 01:06 |
| dud | btw, isnt someone going to fix these bugged pacakges | 01:06 |
| mojo | mupe: if you're trying to execuete something somewhere else, check to be sure it's set to executable. If it still won't execute, it may not be on the search path and need to be explicityly executed (i.e. prepending "./" to configure for executing a confugre in the current directory) | 01:06 |
| dud | i know its a development branch hoary, but its been a known issue for quite some time now | 01:07 |

| Friczy | dud: why? | 01:14 |
| Frafraxy | for activate bluetooth? | 01:14 |
| mojo | mupe: also, if you try to execute something by name, like "configure", for instance, the shell won't necessarily just execute it just 'cuz you're in that directory. it will seart the executable path. You have to prepend "./" like "./configure" to tell it to exectue out of the current directory. | 01:14 |

| dud | yeah, but the problem is, that the package cant be installed' | 01:17 |
| xevil | dud have you tried installing liblame0 first? Sometimes apt gets bogged down with deps | 01:17 |
| dud | as said on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-7296.html | 01:17 |
| dud | for example | 01:17 |
| dud | and the mailinglist has a few entries about the bug too i believe | 01:18 |
| Friczy | dud: do you use hoary or warty? | 01:18 |
| dud | hoary | 01:18 |
| Friczy | using a testing version has always risks | 01:18 |
| dud | i know i know | 01:18 |
| mupe | mojo another solution: add ./ to PATH | 01:19 |
| dud | but being *in development*, its exactly these sort of things that should be straighten out before it reaches stable | 01:19 |
| Friczy | if dependency allows you can try get these packages from warty perhaps | 01:19 |
| mojo | just a quick q: is upgrade from warty to hoary a simple apt-get on some upgrade package? | 01:19 |
| Friczy | mojo: you should set hoary in sources.list then apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:19 |
| Frafraxy | for activate bluetooth in ubuntu, what should i do? | 01:20 |
| mojo | friczy: thanks | 01:20 |
| mojo | friczy: would i want to remove the warty entries, btw? | 01:20 |
| Friczy | mojo: not necesserily. as you wish. | 01:20 |
| Frafraxy | ? | 01:20 |
| mojo | friczy: or not worry 'bout that 'till after upgrade | 01:20 |
| mojo | friczy: thanks again. | 01:21 |
| Friczy | You can delete or comment out or leave it as is. | 01:21 |
| Friczy | but if you leave it in, apt-get update will last longer | 01:21 |
| Friczy | but not much longer :) | 01:21 |
| Frafraxy | are you there? | 01:21 |
| Friczy | Frafraxy: yes, but perhaps nobody knows the answer | 01:21 |

| thoreauputic | marjorie: usually to start something on boot you would use update-rc.d , or edit the scripts in /etc/init.d | 02:32 |
| marjorie | cool ok, and i can just use the bash commands in there? | 02:33 |
| thoreauputic | you might be able to hack it by adding hte command to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh , but it isn't the recommended method | 02:33 |

| thoreauputic | marjorie: I think running update-rc.d as root would be the first try | 02:34 |
| thoreauputic | yes | 02:34 |
| marjorie | k, all im doing when i start is useing ifconfig to bring intif up, then wpa to do that, then dhclient | 02:34 |
| marjorie | where is update-rc.d? | 02:35 |
| thoreauputic | well, if you want to try it, you can add the commands to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh | 02:35 |

| marjorie | :) | 02:43 |
| thoreauputic | marjorie: heh "because it's the Debian Way" | 02:43 |
| marjorie | tis my fav... | 02:43 |
| housetier | ftwig which problem would that be? | 02:43 |
| marjorie | ok so update.rc usage seems simple enough, but it seems its writeing to something? | 02:44 |
| thoreauputic | marjorie: I believe the bootmisc hack can cause issues with upgrades or something | 02:44 |
| vegai | argh | 02:44 |
| vegai | where does the update-grub script derive the hard drive devices from?=! | 02:44 |
| thoreauputic | of course, it would update by rewriting your init.d scripts | 02:44 |
| marjorie | ahhhh | 02:44 |
| vegai | it keeps thinking my HD is /dev/hda4 | 02:44 |
| grepper | marjorie, I haven't followed this discussion, but you know you can add wireless commands to /etc/network/interfaces ? | 02:45 |
| marjorie | yeah ive done that | 02:45 |
| marjorie | just need to automate so everything is cool after boot | 02:45 |
| thoreauputic | aha - grepper's way is probably simpler and easier | 02:45 |

| marjorie | u get wierd session errors if u start up nautilus from console | 02:50 |
| === thoreauputic uses rox filer | ||
| grepper | marjorie, well, the question was how to stop it | 02:51 |
| marjorie | ill tell u when i know :) | 02:51 |
| marjorie | hehhe | 02:51 |
| grepper | :) | 02:52 |
| marjorie | but the first step is breaking it | 02:52 |
| thoreauputic | grepper: it only does this occasionally, right? | 02:52 |
| grepper | thoreauputic, everytime I mount a disk | 02:52 |
| grepper | I chroot to do something, and up it pops and steals focus | 02:53 |
| grepper | well, when I mount, not chroot | 02:53 |
| thoreauputic | grepper: just guessing really, but is it something to do with "automounting", or the way /etc/fstab is set up? | 02:54 |

| marjorie | ok smack my hand | 02:56 |
| thoreauputic | marjorie: it's OK to do anything... but your system might break ... ;) | 02:57 |
| marjorie | no | 02:57 |
| grepper | I think you preface the commands with wireless- , at least according to man interfaces | 02:58 |
| ftwig | housetier: yes - yes noticed its cos I have filled up /, but not sure how I can get round this - / is 256MB | 02:58 |
| marjorie | where can i get these manuals ur refering to? | 02:58 |
| marjorie | just in /usr/doc or something? | 02:58 |
| grepper | ftwig, "apt-get clean" will empty out your /var/cache/apt/archives of downloaded debs | 02:59 |
| thoreauputic | marjorie: just type ` man <name_of_command` | 02:59 |
| marjorie | wow | 02:59 |

| thoreauputic | marjorie: like man ls or man cp and so forth | 02:59 |

| thoreauputic | marjorie: unfortunately there's no manual entry for `woman` *grin* | 03:00 |

| fabbione | STOP flooding the CHAN with useless info | 03:05 |
| marjorie | heh, this manual would be a lot like "how to do things in debian" | 03:05 |
| maswan | ftwig: First, /etc/gconf is usually huge and bloated and would be better off in /var, IMO. then you have /lib with a huge tree of kernel modules, probably. | 03:05 |
| housetier | ftwig "cd /; du -sh" and then cd into the largest directory where you run "du -sh" again | 03:05 |
| marjorie | so many wonderful choises to achive the same functionality... | 03:05 |
| maswan | housetier: ehm. add a -x to du to keep within / | 03:06 |
| === hazza96 [~harry@cust0531.qld01.dataco.com.au] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| maswan | housetier: and that will only do it for the top directory, so you fail on that too. | 03:06 |
| housetier | ftwig ok listen to maswan | 03:07 |
| maswan | du --max-depth 1 -xch / | 03:07 |
| thoreauputic | marjorie: sudo apt-get install debian-reference ; sudo apt-get install apt-howto | 03:08 |
| Dekkard | a hoary upgrade always makes me nervous... | 03:08 |
| maswan | or du -xk / > /tmp/root.du | 03:08 |
| ftwig | housetier:am - ta | 03:08 |
| maswan | then xdu < /tmp/root.du | 03:08 |
| housetier | I'll stay out of this, too complicated for me | 03:08 |
| marjorie | going from the interfaces manual i can bring the interface up and dhcp it with just auto wlan0 | 03:08 |
| maswan | hmm.. xdu is perhaps not installed by default, but when installed it gives a nice graphical overview of the directory tree with the largest one being largest. | 03:08 |
| thoreauputic | marjorie: sounds like a plan then | 03:09 |

| amh | Ok so after first boot Ubuntu will put me in text mode and then I root the apt commands and it will install for me? I dont have to mess with repository settings etc? | 03:53 |
| marjorie | check the promise site to see wich drivers they have for which kernel, there pretty good i think | 03:53 |

| thoreauputic | quiet: correct. Ubuntu uses sudo by default | 04:06 |
| amh | Your kidding? | 04:06 |
| amh | Thats awesome | 04:06 |
| amh | Ubuntu is like the ideal linux | 04:06 |
| quiet | okay... so what do I do when it asks me for root password for system config in gnome? | 04:06 |
| ogra | amh: in fact ubuntu is debian with a lot of integration love | 04:07 |
| ogra | quiet: read the url i gave you | 04:07 |
| amh | 1 cd, sudo by def, apt | 04:07 |
| quiet | ok | 04:07 |
| thoreauputic | quiet: usually you supply your user password | 04:07 |

| thoreauputic | quiet: what are you configuring, and how are you attempting to do it? | 04:08 |
| mupe | quiet, sudo passwd | 04:08 |

| ogra | quiet: retried ? maybe it was a typo ;) | 04:09 |
| quiet | tried a few times | 04:09 |

| thoreauputic | haha @ t3ch_thang | 04:10 |
| quiet | no I JUST finished installing | 04:10 |
| ogra | quiet: its described in the wiki page | 04:10 |
| t3ch_thang | hehe | 04:10 |
| quiet | it is working great, I was just looking.. | 04:10 |
| mupe | does sudo work only on the first user created or on all users? | 04:11 |
| thoreauputic | t3ch_thang: heh, script kiddie nick now ? *g* | 04:11 |
| ogra | mupe: yep | 04:11 |
| amh | How do you do major stuff to the system if no password is set? | 04:11 |
| mupe | ogra the first or all of them? | 04:11 |
| dr_willis | sudo has config files to set it up the other way . if ya want. | 04:11 |
| ogra | mupe: if you want others to be able to sudo, you have to use the visudo command | 04:11 |
| thoreauputic | t3ch_thang: glad to hear it worked - the bill is in the mail ;) | 04:11 |
| t3ch_thang | well, it did seem a bit rugged seeing all the authentication hex at start up, but hey job done | 04:12 |
| mupe | quiet, you are using the first user? | 04:12 |
| quiet | yes | 04:12 |
| quiet | it's my notebook... I only need 1 user | 04:12 |
| amh | Doesnt that essentially make your first user account root only need your user password to do stuff? | 04:12 |
| mupe | ok, that was just an idea | 04:12 |
| t3ch_thang | i really like the way ubuntu handdle root stuff | 04:12 |
| ogra | amh: nope | 04:13 |
| amh | Ok I install ubuntu, then i use apt to install a driver, where is the security if no password is set/used? | 04:13 |
| t3ch_thang | when i first got into linux i was always running everything as root anyway... | 04:13 |
| ogra | amh: its actually much safer then to have a root account (as long as you dont break the model and enable the root user again) https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo | 04:14 |
| amh | I always logged as root then looged out after i was done | 04:14 |
| ogra | amh: who said ther is no pw used ? | 04:14 |
| amh | whats stopping anyone from just using sudo in front of a command? | 04:14 |
| thoreauputic | amh: it prompt you for a password | 04:15 |
| thoreauputic | *prompts | 04:15 |
| amh | And that password effectively acts as the root password | 04:15 |
| t3ch_thang | is there a way to make the sudo pw for root different to root pw? | 04:15 |
| amh | Now is that your first user password? | 04:15 |
| thoreauputic | amh: so choose a good password, as always | 04:15 |
| kebac | amh: when using sudo, it prompts for root password | 04:16 |
| quiet | okay i get it | 04:16 |
| amh | And that password is different from your first user password | 04:16 |
| quiet | i just did a "sudo passwd root" to set a root password.. but the root account is still disabled right? | 04:16 |
| ogra | kebac: wrong | 04:16 |
| ogra | kebac: it prompts the user pw | 04:17 |
| mupe | quiet, it should be enabled now | 04:17 |
| amh | I always just used su to do system stuff than exited out | 04:17 |
| amh | su, x y z, exit | 04:17 |
| === dr_willis [willis@12-202-192-44.client.insightBB.com] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| ogra | quiet: you just enabled it (and opened a security hole) | 04:17 |
| thoreauputic | amh: you can do that if you wish, by setting a root password - but it's pointless | 04:17 |
| amh | easier to use sudo | 04:17 |
| ogra | yep | 04:17 |
| ogra | and seafer | 04:17 |
| === frankps [~frankps@217-13-7-10.dd.nextgentel.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| quiet | okay... well than if I disable root again.. is there still a root passwd? | 04:18 |
| amh | safer only because it requires a password each time | 04:18 |
| amh | if someone gets that password your comp is effectively rooted | 04:18 |
| mupe | also possible to use sudo su if need to do a lot of stuff | 04:18 |
| thoreauputic | amh: yes, so set a good password | 04:18 |
| ogra | quiet: nope, then its locked again | 04:18 |
| quiet | well than what the heck am I supposed to use when it asks for an "administrative password"? | 04:19 |
| amh | the root account isnt really disabled, its just crippled so you need to ask permission each time | 04:19 |
| ogra | amh: read the wiki page, it covers this kind of questions | 04:19 |
| ogra | quiet: your user pw | 04:19 |
| quiet | ogra, that doesn't work | 04:19 |
| ogra | quiet: it does for everyone else .... | 04:20 |
| quiet | well than I guess I need to try to re-install or something | 04:20 |
| thoreauputic | quiet: if it "doesn't work", then your system is misconfigured | 04:20 |

| adam_ | I just looked at it | 06:21 |
| adam_ | Nvidia 6800GT | 06:21 |
| adam_ | im using the nv driver | 06:21 |
| thoreauputic | anir: usually it just starts by default with Ubuntu - you gat a pretty login screen and go from there | 06:21 |
| Kakarotto | adam_: you must install nvidia drivers | 06:21 |
| anir | okay | 06:21 |
| Kakarotto | have you actually downloaded the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com? | 06:21 |
| adam_ | what is the apt command to do that? | 06:21 |
| Kakarotto | no, you have to get into the website | 06:22 |
| Kakarotto | apt-get install lynx | 06:22 |
| Kakarotto | then use lynx (a text interface internet browser) | 06:22 |
| Kakarotto | to get into the nvidia's site | 06:22 |
| Kakarotto | or.. if you want i can DCC SEND it to you | 06:22 |

| kent_ | Kakarotto, It is possible to install the nvidia-driver with apt, isn't it? just enable restricted with apt and your ready to go, or atleast i thought so. | 06:23 |
| adam_ | I tried sudo apt-get install elinks/links/lynx, no good | 06:23 |
| adam_ | w3m works | 06:23 |
| adam_ | i mean its already installed | 06:23 |

| JayeAeotiv | I don't need anything... but I believe I can get cvs in linux easier than I can track one down in windows. | 06:51 |
| siulca | thoreauputic: hda is primary master right? | 06:52 |
| Kakarotto | JayeAeotiv: so I boot my own system with the instructions that the same cd comes with | 06:52 |
| vegai | JayeAeotiv: you will probably need to answer the installer's first couple of questions, so it will configure IDE et al | 06:52 |
| JayeAeotiv | I picked the wrong week to do this. | 06:52 |
| thoreauputic | siulca: normally /dev/hda1 would be windows and hdc something would be a CD-Rom or similar, unless you have multiple hard drives | 06:52 |
| siulca | thoreauputic: so if I want the third partition of my secondary master would be hdc3? | 06:52 |
| Kakarotto | thoreauputic: you're wrong.. "hdc" cant be a cdrom because "hd" means for HARD DRIVE | 06:53 |
| siulca | thoreauputic: I have two hd, one as primary master and a second as secondary master | 06:53 |
| JayeAeotiv | I just found a windows cvs... I'll fix this later. | 06:53 |
| vegai | thoreauputic: hehe ;) | 06:53 |
| vegai | I mean... | 06:53 |
| vegai | Kakarotto: hehe ;) | 06:53 |
| siulca | vegai: hehe ;) | 06:54 |
| vegai | siulca: hehe | 06:54 |
| thoreauputic | siulca: frankly I'm not sure about that as I have only a little knowledge of master/slave terminology, but I think a second hard drive is usually /dev/hdb | 06:54 |
| siulca | everybody: hehehe | 06:54 |
| vegai | hd[abcd] is primary master/slave, secondary master/slave respectively. It might be a HD or a dvd-drive | 06:54 |
| vegai | or whatever you attach on IDE ;) | 06:54 |
| stvn | siulca: master on first controller is hda,slave is hdb, master on 2nd controller is hdc, slave is hdd | 06:54 |

| ColeT | Quick question: I switched this morning to using sawfish from metacity (thanks again ogra!) but have a new very minor problem. Sawfish likes to start up it's own pager besides the gnome one.

| ColeT | gwildor: It's just another window manager. It's a lot more configurable than the default of metacity. Metacity is nicer for new users and I think it has a smaller memory footprint, but I'm willing to trade. | 07:58 |
| gwildor | ColeT, oh...ok.....fluxing it up here | 07:59 |
| ColeT | Yeah - I played with flux for a while. It seemed pretty nice too. I like sawfish's method of doing keybindings a little better. It's a little easier. | 08:00 |

| YorHel | I also had gaim for windows ^^ | 10:55 |
| drspin | I'm using Gaim to chat in this room :) | 10:55 |

| Setite | only thing i dotn like in linux is the title bars for shit | 10:55 |
| Setite | too big | 10:56 |
| Setite | but i fixed that real quick | 10:56 |
| spikeb | is mozilla 1.8 ever going to be released? | 10:56 |

| spikeb | CraHan_, are you running gnome 2.9? | 10:57 |
| ogra | CraHan_: because it should have a smaall a | 10:57 |
| OddAbe19 | spikeb, i don't think they're doing 1.8, i think they're abandoning it in favor of Firefox | 10:57 |
| CraHan_ | spikeb: yup, hoary | 10:57 |
| ogra | CraHan_: ah, ok | 10:57 |
| OddAbe19 | spikeb, iirc | 10:57 |
| Setite | ok... doesnt matter to me... im not a programmer | 10:57 |
| CraHan_ | I've indeed seen some gnome-menu changes | 10:58 |
| spikeb | CraHan_, either its changed in the new menu system, or its broken | 10:58 |
| Amaranth | OddAbe19: Wrong, they are continuing work on Mozilla. | 10:58 |
| ogra | CraHan_: its not possible in hoary | 10:58 |
| spikeb | OddAbe19, they shouldn't have released an alpha then HEH | 10:58 |
| calc | it would be nicer if they split out composer then instead of just killing it | 10:58 |
| CraHan_ | like not being able to edit the menus | 10:58 |
| Setite | oddabe19 - do you forsee firefox becoming a suite | 10:58 |
| ogra | CraHan_: yep | 10:58 |
| setup | is dvdrtools the only dvd writing package in ubuntu? | 10:58 |
| Setite | or having an option to add the suite | 10:58 |

| CraHan_ | ogra: ah ok, phew, at least I know it's 'normal' | 10:58 |

| OddAbe19 | Amaranth, ok, i thought i remembered hearing a branch of mozilla or something like that leaving in favor of firefox | 10:58 |
| Setite | hold on i forgot | 10:58 |
| Amaranth | OddAbe19: That was the original plan. | 10:58 |
| Setite | does firefox have email in it | 10:58 |
| Setite | pop3 | 10:59 |
| spikeb | no | 10:59 |
| spikeb | thunderbird does. | 10:59 |
| CraHan_ | ogra: does nautilus-cd-burner work again? | 10:59 |
| calc | is nvu not an official mozilla project? | 10:59 |
| drspin | calc: I wish they would take composer and drive into it like they did firefox... | 10:59 |
| Setite | and what is the difference | 10:59 |
| ogra | CraHan_: havent tried in hoary..... | 10:59 |
| OddAbe19 | Amaranth, check check, got it | 10:59 |
| CraHan_ | cause I keep getting dependency problems when I try to install it | 10:59 |
| whaaaaa | does anyone know why the network configuration would freeze my system when I try to add my wireless card? | 10:59 |
| spikeb | drspin, somebody beat them to it, it's called nvu | 10:59 |

| spikeb | ahh yes, sunfire | 10:59 |

| Setite | with one name | 11:00 |
| spikeb | Setite, bah | 11:00 |
| CraHan_ | cause I can't seem to find it | 11:00 |
| Setite | no bah | 11:00 |
| spikeb | Setite, that's crap :) | 11:00 |
| ogra | CraHan_: yupp | 11:00 |
| whaaaaa | just no luck when adding the card in the network config | 11:00 |
| Setite | no its not | 11:00 |
| spikeb | yes it is. | 11:00 |
| Amaranth | Setite: Then use seamonkey and enjoy the slowness and crappy UI. | 11:00 |
| ogra | CraHan_: should be in universe | 11:00 |
| Setite | no... i would never use anything called seamonkey | 11:00 |
| CraHan_ | I have universe in my apt sources though | 11:00 |
| CraHan_ | strange | 11:00 |
| Creap | when i start apt-setup and then select ftp i only get a new line and no shell line or anything | 11:00 |
| Creap | and no list of servers | 11:00 |
| Setite | ill just cross my fingers and hope opera works better on ubuntu then it did on FC3 | 11:00 |
| Amaranth | Setite: Yes you would, that's the mozilla suite project name. | 11:01 |
| spikeb | Setite, you have GOT to try evolution for mail - it's awesome | 11:01 |
| Setite | i bet it is | 11:01 |
| calc | so nvu is actually a fork of composer, but looks good | 11:01 |
| Setite | but i like having both in one window | 11:01 |

| Setite | another theoretical question.. picture if linux took over and MS was just a memory... and it turned into the next MS... a distro arose and wiped out the others and they were a monopoly worst than MS at its peak... would a new linux type OS arise? | 11:08 |
| spikeb | yeah | 11:08 |
| Setite | but based upon what | 11:08 |
| Setite | i mean there is what | 11:08 |
| Amaranth | um, linux | 11:08 |
| ogra | whaaaaa: here is a example: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/howto/ndiswrapper | 11:08 |
| Setite | DOS, UNIX | 11:08 |
| spikeb | there already are other open source (and not open source) alternative OSes in existance. | 11:09 |
| Setite | and what esle | 11:09 |
| phyberoptix | thats a waste of space | 11:09 |
| spikeb | they'd merely rise in popularity | 11:09 |
| Setite | any with potential? | 11:09 |
| Amaranth | See, a single Linux distro can never have a monopoly. | 11:09 |
| spikeb | Setite, syllable has potential if anyon eever wants to help with it | 11:09 |
| Setite | it was theoretical | 11:09 |
| Amaranth | Because of the GPL we always have choice. | 11:09 |

| Amaranth | Either by coding something new or just taking the GPL'd source code. | 11:10 |
| spikeb | it wouldnt effect you and me, but joe user | 11:10 |
| Setite | which MS clings to so sadly | 11:10 |
| spikeb | (a distro monopoly) | 11:10 |
| Amaranth | Getting rid of MS is just a nice side effect. | 11:11 |

| Amaranth | The real goal is choice. | 11:11 |
| spikeb | i have to agree with Amaranth on this one | 11:11 |

| spikeb | (besides moving to another hardware platform) | 11:13 |

| Setite | amaranth... whats not possible | 11:14 |
| calc | free libre open source software | 11:14 |
| Amaranth | Which fucks them too. | 11:14 |
| spikeb | when Free/OSS software is illegal, only criminals wil have free software! | 11:14 |
| Setite | never | 11:14 |
| CraHan_ | hmmm | 11:14 |
| CraHan_ | I seem to have lost the burn option in the places menu | 11:14 |
| spikeb | heh | 11:14 |
| Amaranth | The GPL is based on copyright law so the only way to get rid of it is to get rid of copyright. | 11:14 |
| Setite | it would be beyond even their reach to make free software illegal | 11:14 |
| calc | Setite: they could patent 0 and 1 ;) | 11:15 |
| spikeb | CraHan_, try typing nautilus-cd-burner in a terminal or a run window, and see if it's still around | 11:15 |
| Amaranth | Even MS wouldn't be able to convince the MPAA and RIAA funded Congress to do that. | 11:15 |
| Setite | unless they owned all the cpu hardware patents and forced only MS on it | 11:15 |
| Amaranth | Setite: Never going to happen, IBM. | 11:15 |
| CraHan_ | spikeb: no nautilus-cd-burner seems to be conflicting with nautilus itself in hoary | 11:15 |
| Setite | they cant even control it on their own xbox | 11:15 |
| Amaranth | CraHan_: I have the cd burner in hoary. | 11:15 |
| CraHan_ | apparently there now is a nautilus-extensions deb that nautilus uses and that conflicts with nautilus-cd-burner | 11:16 |
| Setite | its like a golden rule of sorts that you can do what you will with what you own as long as you don't inherently break a law | 11:16 |
| Amaranth | Setite: Except software. | 11:16 |
| spikeb | wtf | 11:16 |

| spikeb | CraHan_, i am so glad i dont run hoary | 11:16 |
| Setite | well yea i see what you mean | 11:16 |
| JDahl | Why does linux necessarily have to beat MS? I why do we need to "conquer the desktop"? Linux is perfect for our needs, we dont need Joe Average-user's acceptence... + the contributions to linux come from people who already use Linux and who couldnt care less about Windows... Being a niche OS isn't necessarily bad | 11:16 |
| Amaranth | It seems to be copyrightable and patentable at the same time as well as just a license and at the same time just the medium the software comes on whenever it suits the creator. | 11:17 |

| Setite | you said so | 11:27 |
| phyberoptix | unless its for Ps2 or xbox | 11:27 |
| JDahl | Setite, I am not saying games suck... I am just pointing at this fanatic Linux missionary BS is not neccesarily going to make Linux a better OS | 11:27 |
| Setite | but at that i say why | 11:27 |
| Frafraxy | I have as soon as installed the driver, and even if riavvio X the problem remain. I must riavviare the PC. | 11:27 |
| phyberoptix | i got 4weeks uptime on my Ps2 | 11:27 |
| Frafraxy | I have as soon as installed the driver, and even if riavvio X the problem remain. I must restart the PC. | 11:27 |
| Setite | pc has more games are available... and they are of better quality, larger server size, etc | 11:27 |
| Creap | where can i find a list of ubuntu apt-get sources then? | 11:27 |
| Frafraxy | who can help me? | 11:27 |
| Setite | jdahl... im no fanatic... and i see your point... i just think that a goal of achieving maximum selection is good | 11:28 |
| Setite | for games, business apps, chat apps, etc | 11:28 |

| Frafraxy | ? | 11:28 |
| Frafraxy | my english is bad, excuse me | 11:29 |
| teuf | I'm trying to install hoary using one of the test images, and the installer hangs during grub installatoin (it's stuck at "Determinign grub boot device"). Does that tell something to anyone ? | 11:29 |
| Setite | haha someone help the poor kid | 11:30 |
| Setite | i have no idea how to | 11:30 |
| Frafraxy | Setite: haha? | 11:30 |
| JDahl | teuf, did it already detect the harddrives at this point? | 11:30 |
| teuf | JDahl, yep, I partitioned the hard drive, it copied stuff to them and everything | 11:31 |
| teuf | but then it hangs there | 11:31 |
| teuf | this is a sata drive, and I had to change something in the bios to get the installer to see my cdrom drive | 11:31 |
| teuf | so I'm not that surprised to see the installer having issues with that ;) | 11:31 |
| JDahl | teuf, yeah... I've had nothing but head-aches over my work machine with Sata (running Sarge). | 11:32 |
| Frafraxy | Who can help me??? | 11:33 |
| JDahl | teuf, is it a Dell by any chance? | 11:33 |

| Creap | yes | 11:34 |
| Creap | for win i had to install some stuff first | 11:34 |
| Creap | the ubuntu installer found it instantly though | 11:34 |
| teuf | I guess I'll give up with the install then, it's my parents' computer, and hopefully I'll soon buy a laptop | 11:34 |

| JDahl | teuf, I dont know if it's possible in Ubuntu's expert mode install, but in Debian's installer you can manually specify partition for grub | 11:37 |

| teuf | JDahl, there's an expert mode in the installer ? | 11:37 |
| teuf | this is the kind of hint I was looking for ;) | 11:37 |
| JDahl | I cant remember... isnt there? | 11:37 |
| teuf | dunno, I didn't look | 11:38 |

| drspin | why would you use k3b (kde and QT libs) on a GNOME based Distro ?? | 11:46 |
| JDahl | drspin, it's a good program... much better than Xcdroast (IMO) | 11:47 |
| Riddell | drspin: because it's the best CD burning programme there is and most people arn't so concerned what toolkit it's made with | 11:47 |
| drspin | JDahl: aye - didn't say it was worse... | 11:47 |
| broodster | hmm | 11:48 |
| broodster | i can't seem to execute a .bin | 11:48 |
| crimsun | chmod it executable, then execute it | 11:48 |
| broodster | i did | 11:48 |
| crimsun | chmod 500 foo && ./foo | 11:48 |
| broodster | i did | 11:48 |
| neighborlee | how does one permanantely fix the .ICEauthority error on startup ? ;-) | 11:49 |
| broodster | it says | 11:49 |
| broodster | cannot execute binary file... | 11:49 |
| will | neighborlee: do you have k3b installed? | 11:49 |

| neighborlee | will, I do | 11:51 |
| broodster | yah | 11:51 |
| broodster | i did | 11:51 |
| broodster | and it says | 11:51 |
| broodster | cannot execute binary file | 11:51 |
| Kamion | teuf: I'd like the output of 'ps x' run from the shell on alt-f2 while grub-installer is frozen, too | 11:51 |
| teuf | Kamion, ok, I'll try to grab that | 11:52 |
| neighborlee | will, so that has to go to fix this permanantly ?LOL | 11:52 |
| Kamion | broodster: I bet the filesystem is mounted noexec | 11:52 |
| neighborlee | will, or until there is a fix <G> | 11:52 |
| will | neighborlee: you must uninstall k3b, and k3b setup and reinstall as ROOT do NOT use sudo! | 11:52 |
| broodster | yah i think so | 11:52 |
| broodster | how do i fix it? | 11:52 |
| Kamion | broodster: mount -o remount,exec <filesystem> | 11:53 |
| broodster | The filename "jdk-1_5_0_01-nb-4_0-bin-linux-1.bin" indicates that this file is of type "unknown". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "executable". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. | 11:53 |
| broodster | umm what do i put in filesystem? | 11:54 |
| crimsun | wherever your mountpoint is | 11:54 |
| crimsun | pwd | 11:54 |
| neighborlee | will, ic thx | 11:54 |
| teuf | Kamion, where should I file the bug ? ubuntu's bugzilla ? | 11:54 |
| crimsun | teuf: yes | 11:54 |
