| gilgamesh | kezz - you moving from warty to hoary? nice, good luck | 12:05 |
| kezz | on an ibook too | 12:06 |
| kezz | so should be interesting | 12:06 |
| gilgamesh | yikes, hope you have better luck than I've been having lately. I've been tinkering with Enigmail all day and I can't get it to work, which is frustrating since I had it just fine in WinXP. | 12:07 |
| gilgamesh | Any experience with enigmail? | 12:07 |
| kezz | i played with it briefly a while ago | 12:07 |
| kezz | but nothing substantial no sorry | 12:07 |

| gilgamesh | it's been a pain, since I'm willing to bet that the problem's been addressed in later versions that aren't in the warty repositories yet | 12:09 |
| gilgamesh | tbird 1.0 is supposed to reach backport soon, and then I'll try it again | 12:09 |
| gilgamesh | how new is the ibook? | 12:10 |
| kezz | g4 | 12:10 |
| kezz | relatively new | 12:10 |
| gilgamesh | sweet | 12:10 |
| kezz | been using ubuntu long? | 12:11 |
| gilgamesh | a couple months, so not really. switched from gentoo. | 12:12 |
| gilgamesh | switched in early Nov. | 12:12 |
| kezz | i tried it yesterday | 12:12 |
| gilgamesh | first linux distro or no? | 12:12 |
| kezz | nah | 12:12 |
| kezz | i usually use debian or freebsd | 12:12 |
| kezz | but they don't port very well to the ibook | 12:13 |
| kezz | ubuntu's hardware detection is even better than yellowdog in my experience | 12:13 |
| spikeb | YDL's 4.0 is crap | 12:13 |
| kezz | it all seems to work which is nice on a laptop, and it uses apt insteady of yucky yum | 12:13 |
| kezz | instead* | 12:13 |
| gilgamesh | I used Debian for a while and liked it, but got sick of measuring their release schedule in geological time, switched to gentoo and was okay with portage, but as soon as I found out about Ubuntu I jumped back to the Debian-based fold | 12:14 |
| TenPlus1 | how do I install java and flash ?? | 12:14 |
| kezz | yeah gentoo is nice if you have a few weeks to set it up | 12:14 |
| gilgamesh | hah, yeah. The first time I installed it I had to use Windows for a week while I read up on portage. After a while I got the hang of it, but having to build from src everytime got to be a pain | 12:15 |
| spikeb | it's a pain, but they seem to have the largest collection of working ppc packages. | 12:16 |
| spikeb | that aren't from the fourth century | 12:16 |
| kezz | and on modern cpu's the actual performance gain isn't worth the hassle imho | 12:16 |
| gilgamesh | TenPlus - You can use synaptic to install Java, and for flash, if you're just looking for a browser plugin, go to Macromedia's site and d/l the linux installer | 12:16 |
| gilgamesh | search the ubuntu forums for details, it's real easy | 12:17 |
| gilgamesh | here, read this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3713&highlight=java+install | 12:17 |
| gilgamesh | kezz - yeah, I'm running on a P4 1.8 and honestly Ubuntu feels just as fast, once I got things tweaked a bit | 12:18 |
| spikeb | i was just thinking the other day that gentoo would rock if there was somethign similar to it, but binary package based | 12:18 |
| spikeb | heh | 12:18 |
| gilgamesh | no diff in performance, and software install/management is hell of a lot easier | 12:18 |

| cavediver | :) How many packages are supported by ubuntu. I'm currelnty on sid trying to figure out if I should reinstall ubunto. | 12:23 |
| spikeb | i have a less kind way of charactorizing the ubuntu/debian relationship | 12:23 |
| JoePenguin | gilgamesh: With plain Debian it's like, "Would it help if I got out and pushed?" | 12:23 |
| cavediver | You can't use debian .deb packages on ubuntu right? | 12:23 |
| spikeb | you can, but its bad. | 12:24 |
| cavediver | I see. | 12:24 |
| gilgamesh | cavediver - once you add all the "unofficial" repositories like backports, there's something like 14,000 packages available. | 12:24 |
| spikeb | gilgamesh, half of which are absolute crap | 12:24 |
| gilgamesh | There's very little that's missing for 99.99% of users | 12:24 |

| kezz | cavediver, it seems a very nice distro so far | 12:27 |

| unperson | neighborlee, I think there are licensing issues. | 12:40 |
| unperson | or something. | 12:40 |
| neighborlee | nope can't be | 12:40 |
| neighborlee | other distros have it preinstalled | 12:40 |
| neighborlee | i'm sure of it | 12:40 |
| spikeb | um | 12:40 |
| neighborlee | suse does..mepis does | 12:41 |
| spikeb | just because they do it does not mean there aren't licensing problems. | 12:41 |
| unperson | neighborlee, Different distros have different license standards. | 12:41 |
| notwist | it's taking about 25 minutes here, on a pretty new dvd-wr drive. going at 2.2 speed | 12:41 |
| scoon | neighborlee, other distros have some of the free sdk's installed. | 12:41 |
| gilgamesh | neighborlee - dunno, probably not, since it's not 100% oss, IIRC. installation is easy enough, try: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3713&highlight=java+install | 12:41 |
| gilgamesh | It's not that hard, just follow the instructions and you'll be fine | 12:41 |

| unperson | neighborlee, I somewhat agree with that idea. But I can't say it's someone elses job. | 12:42 |
| gilgamesh | neighborlee - it isn't as easy as pre-installed, but c'mon, just open a terminal, type sudo -s to get a root console, and copy/paste the commands from the tutorial into the console. How hard is that? | 12:43 |
| spikeb | what's stupid is people coming in here, knowing full well (if they can read) that things that aren't OSS aren't supported/packaged, and bitching about it. | 12:43 |
| neighborlee | unperson, sorry its just a bugg issue for me..ubuntu is SO KEWL and so well done yet issues like this WILL hold it back some | 12:43 |

| gilgamesh | neighborlee, to my grandmother, WindowsUpdate might as well be a root console, she's just as confused. There's no love lost for installing apps in Windows. | 12:45 |

| scoon | neighborlee, but it is sharing. look around here tonite, any one of these people could just as easily be running winhell and mirc | 12:45 |
| neighborlee | gilgamesh, but in ubuntu it is as well mostly....using synaptic ;-) | 12:45 |
| gilgamesh | perhaps, but how long have you been using Windows? | 12:45 |
| neighborlee | YEARS | 12:45 |
| scoon | neighborlee, and god bless the registry, best thing about breaking winblows. | 12:46 |
| spikeb | i actually used windows for maybe six years - that's about it. | 12:46 |
| exlt | neighborlee: for what it is worth, I for one, do not want JRE/SDK installed by default, and appreciate those that do not force software on me - never miss not having it installed | 12:46 |
| spikeb | default installations are not forcing anything upon you. | 12:46 |
| neighborlee | exlt: not forcing things is GOOD..making things a BITCH to install is NOT ;-) | 12:46 |
| gilgamesh | exactly. For people just starting out they don't have to unlearn Windows, so there's still very little difference in difficulty for the new user | 12:46 |
| spikeb | and if there was a fully working free jre, it'd be installed by default. | 12:46 |

| jon__ | scoon, I had working under Warty earlier today, then I upgraded to Hoary and it stopped working | 12:49 |
| unperson | scoon, Well, I think neighborlee it correct in that ubuntu is not just about being easy. They have other priorities two, some of which conflict with ease of use. Tradeoffs. | 12:50 |

| exlt | neighborlee: and the 500 people that I work with, primarily use Linux on the desktop, right along with our secretaries, HR people, etc - you just don't seem to be working with the right enterprise-level-minded IT folks ;) | 12:52 |
| notwist | does oggenc have the alternative to lames --preset fast standard? | 12:52 |
| spikeb | scoon, it's on the disks, all you have to do is select it during the install - it's selected by default for the d section | 12:52 |
| scoon | one other thing are we just talking about the plugin or the SDK ? | 12:52 |
| scoon | there is a huge difference | 12:52 |
| neighborlee | exlt: you said it...IT FOLKS | 12:52 |
| spikeb | slackware has the whole sdk | 12:52 |
| setite | neighborlee - what os is held back the the 100% oss thing | 12:53 |
| scoon | spikeb, really. | 12:53 |
| spikeb | the others i listed have a plugin and iether jre or sdk, dont know | 12:53 |
| neighborlee | exlt: no offense and i'm happy for 'your office'..but IT folks are NOT suze homemaker ;-)) | 12:53 |
| gilgamesh | scoon's right. the sdk require one or two more hoops to get running | 12:53 |
| setite | suze? | 12:53 |
| neighborlee | suzie | 12:53 |

| neighborlee | spikeb, is it a goal of ubuntu to be easy to use as windows ..or only for sophisticated l33t linux users | 12:54 |
| scoon | naim, xcdroast is a goody. I like it the best. but in the end they are all just "front ends" to cdrecord. Even k3b ( i think ) | 12:54 |
| spikeb | neighborlee, the goal is to have an easy to use OPEN SOURCE OS | 12:54 |
| spikeb | neighborlee, note the capital words. | 12:55 |
| naim | root@test:/home/nad # apt-get install xcdroast | 12:55 |

| naim | Building Dependency Tree... Done | 12:55 |
| naim | Package xcdroast is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 12:55 |
| naim | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 12:55 |
| naim | is only available from another source | 12:55 |
| naim | exlt: Package xcdroast has no installation candidate | 12:55 |
| neighborlee | yea just like fedora core.and look how messy that is | 12:55 |

| naim | scoon, yes k3b is a frontend for cdrecord | 12:56 |

| spikeb | yeah i would like to see more rapid development of kaffe so another issue is dead (including java - no problme if a free JRE that worked great existed) | 12:56 |
| scoon | neighborlee, how hard is it for you to get the java plugin from SUN and copy it into $HOME/.mozilla/plugins ? | 12:56 |
| scoon | neighborlee, I am assuming that is all you want. | 12:57 |
| spikeb | thats not all you have to do, unfortunately. | 12:57 |
| neighborlee | scoon, not what im referring to | 12:57 |
| gilgamesh | That's one of two things that keeps WinXP on a second hard drive, DVD burning and games. | 12:57 |
| naim | scoon, is xcdroast available in restricted ?? | 12:57 |
| sensebend | http://www.ubuntuguide.org - has step by step instructions on how to do this | 12:57 |
| scoon | spikeb, bs. that is all that I have done before. | 12:57 |
| neighborlee | scoon: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingJavaSupport/view?searchterm=java < is what im referring to | 12:57 |

| carajean | i need a little help mounting a ipod! | 12:58 |
| scoon | neighborlee, are you developing w/ java. commercially ? | 12:58 |
| squeegy | drspin: you might need libgnomeui-2.0-dev | 12:58 |
| === knoppix is now known as Quest-Master | ||
| sensebend | neighborlee, how is that hard? | 12:59 |
| drspin | squeegy: according to synapse, it's not installed and when I try to install it I get this : (please check in #flood) | 12:59 |
| spikeb | scoon, that's bs - the plugin needs a working JRE, and there's more to setting it up than copying the plugin | 12:59 |
| scoon | spikeb, i am not going to argue w/ you. I have done it that way and it works. | 12:59 |
| gilgamesh | I could have installed java using the forum instructions in the time it's taken since you entered the chat, neighborlee. Grab a console and start cut/pasting the commands from the recipe, it's not difficult. | 12:59 |
| scoon | naim, try dpkg -p xcdroast | 01:00 |
| squeegy | drspin: hmm weird, so don't know what to tell ya | 01:00 |
| scoon | naim, that will show you all about that deb | 01:00 |
| drspin | squeegy: thanks anyway ;) | 01:00 |
| spikeb | you can go ahead and think that all you want, but it ain't possible unless you use an rpm or a deb of it. | 01:00 |
| sensebend | if it's too hard, talk to Sun and ask them to make it easier :P | 01:00 |

| scoon | whew there are a cranky bunch in here this eve. everyone must still be hungover and pissed off. | 01:02 |
| gilgamesh | Well, what is the point? Surely your time is valuable enough that you didn't come here simply to vent about how java wasn't pre-installed, right? | 01:02 |
| exlt | and when you download the JRE, neighborlee, you will notice that you will need to agree to Sun's licensing terms - if you wish to read them carefully, it will become quite clear why the software is not included in the distribution, and also will raise questions as to the legalities of others including this bundled in by default | 01:02 |

| neighborlee | gilgamesh, 'some' form of java yes should be ready to rock ( at least for web browsing) | 01:03 |
| nde | happy 2005 everyone | 01:03 |
| neighborlee | firefox 'trys' to get java installed but it fails.. | 01:03 |
| sensebend | that goes against the philosophy of being 100% OSS | 01:03 |
| neighborlee | sensebend, oh you mean like nvidia right ?LOL | 01:04 |
| neighborlee | my heart so bleeds | 01:04 |
| gilgamesh | neighborlee - then post it in the development mailing list, maybe you can convince someone who matters. :) | 01:04 |
| spikeb | still think that gcj and kaffe should get more help from distro makers | 01:04 |
| neighborlee | gilgamesh, I surely will | 01:04 |
| [oZaR] | what distro can i use to mount a web server? | 01:04 |
| mjg59 | Historically, the Sun JRE can't be shipped if you include any other java environments | 01:04 |
| sensebend | agreed spikeb | 01:04 |
| Cloudchaser | i think the philosphy is OSS, not easy mostly | 01:04 |
| spikeb | i mean, this whole issue would be dead if they were mature. | 01:05 |
| spikeb | and everyone would be happy | 01:05 |
| Cloudchaser | but its not only that really | 01:05 |
| [oZaR] | which distro do you think is better for a webserver? | 01:05 |
| spikeb | that's a good point - shipping a JRE in restricted is an idea. | 01:05 |
| gilgamesh | ozar - OpenBSD. | 01:05 |
| sensebend | OpenBSD, [oZaR] | 01:05 |
| [oZaR] | ok | 01:06 |
| [oZaR] | thank u | 01:06 |
| mjg59 | Ah, it's still the case | 01:06 |
| [oZaR] | BSD is lik elinux? | 01:06 |
| gilgamesh | sorta/kinda. | 01:06 |
| === ubuntu [~ubuntu@pool-68-163-248-27.bos.east.verizon.net] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| mjg59 | The JRE license doesn't allow redistribution if you include any other Java compilers | 01:06 |
| spikeb | then dont use sun's JRE. | 01:06 |
| gilgamesh | www.openbsd.org | 01:06 |
| sensebend | similar, and different | 01:06 |
| Cloudchaser | on one hand, there's no services gui and i read someone said its because "The reason has been | 01:06 |
| Cloudchaser | mentioned here before - simply that desktop end-users shouldn't need | 01:06 |
| Cloudchaser | to be starting and stopping services." | 01:06 |
| mjg59 | Well, quite | 01:06 |
| spikeb | Cloudchaser, wonder who the brilliant mind behind that was. | 01:07 |
| Cloudchaser | but yet...its ok for desktop end users to muck around in config files that can hose their system | 01:07 |
| mjg59 | Cloudchaser: There is no services gui because upstream does not provide a services gui | 01:07 |
| spikeb | if gnome system tools can include it, then desktop users can do it. | 01:07 |
| [oZaR] | ill try openbsd, but which linux distro is the better? | 01:07 |
| Cloudchaser | rather than fill in some blanks of a gui | 01:07 |
| sensebend | OpenBSD is not a GNU/Linux distro | 01:07 |
| nde | FreeBSD might be a little easier to begin with.. | 01:07 |
| spikeb | yes it does - GST has a runlevel editor. | 01:08 |
| gilgamesh | ozar - personal preference really, you can run a webserver on any distro. OpenBSD is a good alternative to linux because it's design philosophy is centered around security | 01:08 |
| gilgamesh | Hence, aimed at server applications. | 01:08 |
| [oZaR] | ok | 01:08 |
| mjg59 | Oh, that's interesting. I thought that was one of the ones that was disabled pre-2.8. | 01:08 |
| [oZaR] | and what about other bsd distributions? | 01:08 |
| sensebend | and the reason the code forked is a rather interesting story too | 01:08 |
| Cloudchaser | checkpoint firewalls run over bsd i think | 01:08 |
| sensebend | (refering to OpenBSD) | 01:08 |
| siretart | I installed OpenBSD this week on my lovely UltraSparc. Well, you don't know how much I love ubtuntu/debian installer since then :) | 01:09 |
| Cloudchaser | hehe i've never tried to install bsd | 01:09 |
| Cloudchaser | ubuntu is a nice distro, there's no doubt about it | 01:09 |
| [oZaR] | siretart: its very difficult to install? | 01:09 |
| gilgamesh | ozar - NetBSD is tricky, Free is easiest to use. Honestly any BSD or linux will serve up pages just fine once you get things running, it's a matter of how secure you need to be and how much time you want to invest in admin'ing the box. | 01:09 |
| [oZaR] | (openbsd) | 01:09 |
| Cloudchaser | but its not "easy" | 01:09 |
| crimsun | [oZaR] : the install process does not hold your hand, that's for certain. But it is by no means "difficult." | 01:10 |
| [oZaR] | ok | 01:10 |
| spikeb | Cloudchaser, the parts that work properly are easy. | 01:10 |
| scoon | wow | 01:10 |
| === nuOpus [~nuopus@ip68-104-153-28.ph.ph.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| sensebend | yeah, it's a bit more awkward | 01:10 |
| crimsun | [oZaR] : there are plenty of solid docs on the OpenBSD web site. One just needs to read up. | 01:10 |
| scoon | slack even has java 5 | 01:10 |
| scoon | nice | 01:10 |
| nuOpus | Hey whats up? | 01:10 |
| [oZaR] | crimsun: ok | 01:10 |
| [oZaR] | ill do it | 01:10 |
| [oZaR] | thank you | 01:11 |
| gilgamesh | Cloudchaser - I see "easy" as a relative term. I've run Slack, RH, Debian, Mandrake, Gentoo and Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is the easiest general-purpose desktop distro I've used. As easy as Windows, not quite, but it's a good evolutionary step | 01:11 |
| siretart | [oZaR] : not too difficult, but that shellscript won't give you much options in installing it :) | 01:11 |
| nuOpus | gilamesh: That is also relative to your experience. I find the console much easier to use than navigating around windows | 01:11 |
| siretart | [oZaR] : no debconf, no fancy partitioner, no selection of packages, no anything :) | 01:11 |
| nuOpus | gilamesh: Mainly because that is how I grew up | 01:11 |
| spikeb | i grew up on a mac | 01:12 |
| spikeb | then had a beos box | 01:12 |
| spikeb | is it any wonder i can't get comfortable in a *nix DE yet | 01:12 |
| Cloudchaser | nuOpus, and linux gives you the freedom to do that | 01:12 |
| Cloudchaser | but it doesn't give the freedom to do it all by gui if one so chose | 01:12 |
| === chris is now known as Karakth | ||
| nuOpus | People say Windows is intuitive which is completely wrong. Intuitive is of intuition meaning you can do it withou ANY prior experience. The ONLY way you know to click on the X to close is prior experience | 01:12 |
| Cloudchaser | more so than previously for sure | 01:12 |
| gilgamesh | Nu0pus - you're a rare breed then. I've done my share of time as a code-jockey before going to law school and I still prefer gui to console when the gui is intelligent enough | 01:12 |

| [oZaR] | how will openbsd work in a p 166? | 01:16 |
| gilgamesh | Cloud - I don't see Ubuntu as having forced us to "rip into the guts" very often. I've had to edit txt config files a handful of times, but virtually everything is administerable via gui | 01:16 |

| === kezz [efavsm@perverseengineering.org] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| nuOpus | all of my desktops are wireless | 01:24 |
| mjg59 | Because Broadcom won't ship them, which is strange | 01:24 |
| mjg59 | They've got drivers internally | 01:24 |
| nuOpus | so they only way they work is using ndiswrapper or driverloader | 01:25 |
| gilgamesh | My laptop is still WinXP, unfortunately, since my law school's exam software is strictly Win only. I tried running it emulated but it crashed constantly... not something I want in the middle of an exam | 01:25 |

| gilgamesh | Yeah, this exam software preempts a lot of the Windows core junk at boot time, to lock out Windows explorer access so you can't open files during the exam. VMW didn't play nice with it last time I tried, and the company that makes it doesn't care about linux users | 01:27 |
| vladster | Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". what does this line mean | 01:27 |
| nuOpus | that doesnt sound good for the OS. You gonna be able to get it off after the courses? LOL | 01:28 |
| nuOpus | it means the DRI modules did not load on X startup | 01:28 |
| nuOpus | either because the module is not there (or installed right) or the module does not detect the device | 01:28 |
| gilgamesh | Probably not actually. A friend who just graduated had to take hers to the campus techs and they just burned her data to CD and wiped it | 01:29 |
| neighborlee | gilgamesh, okay I have been VERY busy..anyway..your time spent finding URL IS appreciated do not mistake that...however if I have to go through that just to get java working...i'll have to think about if i'm using the right distro or not which is sad because i'm come to love ubuntu and its philosophies ( some of them anyway)...I just hope someday soon they consider making java for browsing preinstalled like other distros do | 01:29 |
| nuOpus | you should look in the /var/log directory to see what the logs say | 01:29 |
| gilgamesh | reinstalled xp and handed it back to her | 01:29 |
| nuOpus | ya thats what I figured | 01:29 |
| crimsun | neighborlee: there is a licensing issue, too | 01:29 |
| nuOpus | when you start messing with windows like that it is hard to take it off | 01:29 |
| nuOpus | in Linux I just remove the files | 01:29 |
| crimsun | neighborlee: until debian-legal sorts it out, I doubt the sun jre/jdk will be distributed in-distro | 01:29 |
| nuOpus | and re-configure some things | 01:29 |
| neighborlee | crimsun, well then maybe they should consider blackdown assuming it too doesn't have licensing issues | 01:30 |
| usual | will gstreamer in hoary support playing dvd's? | 01:30 |
| gilgamesh | neighborlee - your thanks are appreciated, you're welcome. however, I would advise that you stick with Ubuntu for a couple weeks and see if it meets most of your expectations before jumping to another distro. | 01:30 |
| nuOpus | neighborlee: Just make your own sun java debs | 01:30 |
| crimsun | neighborlee: it's already available blackdown's repositories | 01:30 |
| nuOpus | use make-jpkg | 01:30 |
| gilgamesh | I sincerely doubt there's any distro that meets 100% of your desires. | 01:30 |

| vladster | the system has it listed on the pci bus even though it is plugged into an AGP slot | 01:31 |
| nuOpus | just type make-jpkg sun-blahblahblah.bin | 01:31 |
| nuOpus | and it does it automagically | 01:31 |
| sensebend | the amount of time neighborlee has been here, he could have installed Java | 01:31 |
| neighborlee | crimsun, any idea what the deal is with sun and licensing for us ? | 01:31 |
| mjg59 | neighborlee: Blackdown JRE is under the same license as the Sun one | 01:31 |
| neighborlee | sensebend, and you severly fail to see the point..but thats ok | 01:31 |

| mjg59 | To the best of my knowledge, there is no full-featured JRE that can be distributed alongside any other java runtimes | 01:33 |
| nuOpus | kezz: just like I perfectly understand why broadcom wouldnt release code for linux programmers to write modules | 01:33 |
| ubuntu | does fglrx have support for Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] ? | 01:33 |
| mjg59 | classpath is getting better, though, so in the not very distant future life should be better | 01:33 |
| mjg59 | ubuntu: No | 01:33 |
| mjg59 | It's supported by the open drivers | 01:33 |
| nuOpus | ubuntu: no. because they are not the catalyst drivers that ATI PROMISED IN DECEMBER!! | 01:33 |
| neighborlee | nuOpus, of course..its 'their' code and they aint sharing..just like nvidia..and who could blame them :_)) | 01:34 |
| ubuntu | mjg59, which open drivers? | 01:34 |
| gilgamesh | ubuntu - if at all possible, if you want serious 3d support in linux you need to switch cards and get an nvidia chipset. | 01:34 |
| usual | will gstreamer in hoary support playing dvd's? | 01:34 |
| mjg59 | ubuntu: The ones included in the distribution by default | 01:34 |
| sensebend | usual, maybe with libcss2 | 01:34 |
| usual | sensebend, no, it's a gstreamer issue | 01:34 |
| usual | sensebend, yes you need libdvdcss2 or whatever | 01:34 |
| usual | but gstreamer wont play them anyway | 01:34 |
| nuOpus | ubuntu: They were supposed to release the actual catalyst drivers in December but I dont see them yet .. but any rate ... the 7000 works with the internal radeon module | 01:34 |
| ubuntu | I should just modprobe radeon? | 01:35 |
| sensebend | I use XINE, so I can't comment on gstreamer | 01:35 |
| nuOpus | usual: I use mplayer to play some dvd movies | 01:35 |
| nuOpus | it didnt just detect it during the install? | 01:35 |
| spikeb | i dont even have a dvd drive :) | 01:35 |
| gilgamesh | sensebend - same here, totem-xine for me. Ironically, everything plays except DVDs | 01:35 |
| usual | nuOpus, yea me too, gstreamer does support dvd's in cvs i heard but not in the versions currently in hoary | 01:35 |
| usual | nuOpus, xine plays them as well | 01:36 |

| nuOpus | gilgamesh: ya ... probably right | 01:37 |

| sensebend | nothing wrong with ATI, as long as your avoid their binary drivers | 01:38 |
| sensebend | like the plague | 01:38 |

| nuOpus | gilgamesh: I have owned every ATI since the original rage ..... I am about to switch to nvidia | 01:38 |
| spikeb | yaeh so i have a fx5200 sitting here doing nothing | 01:38 |
| spikeb | because of my mobo | 01:38 |
| gilgamesh | I've had my GF4 ti4600 for a couple years now, and the way I see it, this card will have to last a few years longer. | 01:39 |
| nuOpus | im not a big pc gamer anyway. that is what my XBOX and XBOX live is for | 01:39 |
| nuOpus | even though my main PC could serve as a kick butt gaming machine | 01:39 |
| gilgamesh | same here, I have a PS2 for gaming, and I plan on getting an Xbox2 | 01:39 |
| ctd | Isn't xbox for running linux on? :> | 01:39 |
| nuOpus | LOL I would do it if there was no risk of banning me from xbox live | 01:40 |

| nuOpus | oh | 01:43 |
| nuOpus | ya sorry | 01:43 |
| nuOpus | didnt read it | 01:43 |
| gilgamesh | k3b is crap simply because you need to load all those kde libs on top of gnome... unfortunately dvd burning apps for gnome are nonexistent | 01:43 |
| vladster | then the NVidia binary should find it then | 01:43 |
| spikeb | audio burning programs for gnome are almost nonexistant as well | 01:43 |

| drspin | gilgamesh: there are many started gnomebaker, gcombust, graveman -- but they're all in early stages... | 01:44 |
| ubuntu | do I have to edit XF86Config-4 as well in order to have advantage of radeon kernel module? | 01:45 |

| justdave | anyone familiar with FileMerge on Mac OS X? I'm pretty sure there's an equivalent program in Linux, but I forget what it's called to look for it... | 01:45 |

| lnxduk_ | can I download a tar.gz of the root filesystem | 02:38 |
| lnxduk_ | I don't really know how to netboot so easily | 02:38 |

| GoneBoB | did you install build-essential | 03:07 |
| crimsun | makhand: warty? | 03:07 |
| GoneBoB | that has the compiler, make, etc in it | 03:07 |

| setite | if those exist | 03:33 |
| lnxduk_ | my first rw is no good | 03:33 |
| lnxduk_ | so x doesn't come on the cd? | 03:33 |
| setite | remember fedora is big as hell | 03:33 |
| kleedrac | setite: They exist and they're great :) | 03:33 |

| setite | fc3 64 is 2.5 gigs | 03:34 |

| setite | stupid keyboard... | 03:34 |
| setite | i miss my logitech | 03:34 |
| lnxduk_ | normally there are 6 or 8 | 03:34 |
| lnxduk_ | sometimes only 4 | 03:34 |
| setite | this damn free memorex is like 8 years old | 03:34 |
| lnxduk_ | I thought the installer was messed up | 03:35 |
| setite | the backspace is a normal sized key | 03:35 |
| setite | sucks ass | 03:35 |
| lnxduk_ | it didnt allow me to select packages | 03:35 |
| setite | oh i see | 03:35 |
| lnxduk_ | don't even tell me about messed up keyboards | 03:35 |
| setite | as opposed to other distros | 03:35 |
| lnxduk_ | they are all I have | 03:35 |
| lnxduk_ | those damn ones that are curved | 03:35 |
| crimsun | makhand: would you paste the entire error on pastebin.com? | 03:35 |
| setite | yea i liked fedoras installer... btu that was all i liked about it | 03:36 |
| setite | i love ubuntu for ntfs support | 03:36 |
| setite | fedora developers decided to take that out | 03:36 |
| lnxduk_ | can it write? | 03:36 |
| setite | f****** | 03:36 |
| setite | i doubt it | 03:36 |
| setite | but it can read | 03:36 |
| lnxduk_ | then that is no better than normal | 03:36 |
| setite | so i dont have to redownload my mp3s | 03:36 |
| lnxduk_ | I could always read | 03:36 |
| lnxduk_ | might have to insmod something | 03:36 |
| zenrox | lnxduk_, it tecknaly can but only limited | 03:36 |
| setite | see there you go | 03:37 |
| lnxduk_ | you just add the ntfs read module | 03:37 |
| setite | i was just guessing | 03:37 |
| GoneBoB | techinically yeah | 03:37 |
| makhand | crimsun, I'm not familiar with pastebin. what is it? | 03:37 |
| zenrox | 2.6.9 kernel | 03:37 |
| lnxduk_ | or recompile which I do anyway | 03:37 |
| GoneBoB | well you can only overwrite files of the same size | 03:37 |
| crimsun | makhand: it's a website where one pastes errors. We use it for debugging. | 03:37 |
| GoneBoB | you can't change the size of files or add the | 03:37 |
| GoneBoB | m | 03:37 |
| lnxduk_ | I'm running 2.6.8 | 03:37 |
| setite | why is ntfs writing such a taboo | 03:38 |
| zenrox | lnxduk_, i am usingthe hoary branch | 03:38 |
| lnxduk_ | what branch is good? | 03:38 |
| GoneBoB | setite: it's not a taboo it's just not supported | 03:38 |
| setite | cancel out the taboo word | 03:38 |
| zenrox | micho owns the pattit on ntfs | 03:38 |
| lifeless | setite: because its so easy to get wrong. | 03:38 |
| lnxduk_ | I have warty | 03:38 |
| setite | its taboo for the fedora folks | 03:38 |
| lifeless | setite: the current code corrupts the ntfs database. | 03:38 |
| lnxduk_ | fedora sucks | 03:38 |
| makhand | crimsun, so for name, who's do i put? and what exactly goes in the 'code'? | 03:38 |
| setite | i dont know if it sucks.. but the people in its channel do | 03:38 |
| crimsun | makhand: you put your own nick for name, and the code is the error. | 03:38 |
| lnxduk_ | I can't stand it | 03:39 |
| lnxduk_ | I like debian though | 03:39 |
| lnxduk_ | so I figured I would try this | 03:39 |
| setite | i didnt like having to redownload my mp3s | 03:39 |
| lnxduk_ | so use fat32 | 03:39 |
| setite | why | 03:39 |
| setite | ubuntu reads ntfs | 03:39 |
| setite | no need | 03:39 |
| lifeless | http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/status.html | 03:39 |
| lnxduk_ | well any distro can | 03:39 |
| zenrox | http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ <check this out | 03:39 |
| setite | and having to figure out how to use yum just to get xmms-mp3 | 03:39 |
| nde | windows must die :P | 03:39 |
| lifeless | setite: also NT can read ext3 | 03:39 |
| setite | lnx - can but dont | 03:40 |
| lnxduk_ | they can though... | 03:40 |
| lnxduk_ | I did it on redhat 8 | 03:40 |
| setite | but they dont | 03:40 |
| lifeless | http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm | 03:40 |
| setite | see i like when the developers make smart choices | 03:40 |
| setite | the less i have to do to get started the better | 03:40 |
| makhand | crimsun, i pasted and pushed send, now what? | 03:40 |
| lnxduk_ | it's not like you can't recompile the kernel with ntfs read support though | 03:40 |
| setite | you seem to forget... some people dont get a thrill out of havign to make it all work themselves | 03:41 |
| setite | i like things to just work whenever possible | 03:41 |
| lnxduk_ | my monitor can do 800x600 at 60hz | 03:41 |
| lnxduk_ | that is its best | 03:41 |
| setite | wow | 03:41 |
| crimsun | makhand: let me look over it. | 03:41 |
| lnxduk_ | it's 14in | 03:41 |
| lnxduk_ | but the picture is only 11 | 03:41 |
| setite | the livecd made me stick to 640x480 at 100hz | 03:41 |
| setite | i couldnt even see the whole synaptic window | 03:42 |
| zenrox | biger montors help | 03:42 |
| crimsun | makhand: the first thing I recommend you do is `rm -rf ~/src/multisync' | 03:42 |
| lnxduk_ | I have dual 17" at school though | 03:42 |

| xed_work | now I wish to install it. | 03:45 |
| xed_work | ANy help sirs? | 03:45 |
| occy | crimsun, does apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade keep your kernel up-to-date.... or do you have to manually do that? | 03:46 |
| setite | can livecd be used to install? | 03:46 |
| zenrox | setite, for me it find my montor and i845gl vid card (i845g/gl) and only gives me 1186x700something | 03:46 |
| setite | i was under the impression that the ubuntu livecd doesnt have that option | 03:46 |
| setite | however i know very little | 03:46 |
| setite | Intel 845GV is what i have | 03:46 |
| crimsun | occy: update & upgrade will do fine | 03:46 |
| crimsun | occy: you're running warty, correct? | 03:46 |
| setite | so mine should work damnit | 03:46 |
| occy | crimsun, ahh ok. | 03:47 |

| xed_work | has anyone installed Ubuntu on to their hardrive somehow? This is for a laptop | 03:47 |
| setite | yea keep showing off | 03:47 |
| occy | There should be a web page... that gives you a "Green LIght" or "Red Light" or "Yellow Light" for apt-get dist-upgrade with unstable. | 03:48 |
| setite | i understand that it worked for you... but im tellign you that it doesnt for me | 03:48 |
| crimsun | occy: not quite stable enough yet | 03:48 |
| crimsun | occy: it tends to be even more bleeding-edge than sid+experimental, which is impressive | 03:48 |
| occy | crimsun, the cool thing would be... You could have people do voting to say how they feel things are working for them at present. | 03:48 |
| setite | perhaps there is a command i can boot with that will work better... perhaps force it into another mode.... but i wouldnt know it | 03:48 |
| briareus | does ubuntu have a default root password? it never prompted me for one during install, only for user name and user password. | 03:48 |
| occy | crimsun, hehe | 03:48 |
| crimsun | briareus: no. It uses `sudo' by default. | 03:48 |
| occy | crimsun, did that make sense? | 03:48 |
| briareus | crimsun, so there is no going root? | 03:49 |
| crimsun | occy: sure. | 03:49 |
| setite | sudo is root | 03:49 |
| occy | briareus, sudo su - | 03:49 |
| occy | briareus, and you can get full root access | 03:49 |
| briareus | ok | 03:49 |
| setite | wtf | 03:49 |
| crimsun | briareus: sudo -s, passwd foo, exit, su | 03:49 |
| setite | now im confuzzled | 03:49 |

| nomasteryoda | Verr-, let me understand the problem | 03:57 |
| setite | lemme see if one of the progs i have can fix the MBR | 03:57 |
| Quest-Master | I'd be willing to do the graphics if the developers began to do a graphical installer similar to SuSE or Mandrake's. | 03:57 |
| Verr- | So i want format my c: | 03:57 |
| Quest-Master | I must say-- a distribution is almost ALWAYS judged by how the installer works/looks. | 03:57 |
| xed_work | Verr-: you are THE man. | 03:57 |
| Verr- | But windows is in it and doesnt let me do that | 03:57 |
| nomasteryoda | Verr-, did you install winxp after ubuntu> | 03:57 |
| Verr- | Yeah | 03:58 |
| Quest-Master | Ubuntu's gets lots of points since it works awesomely. | 03:58 |
| lifeless | xed_work: ok, I'm not sure whats up here, maybe someone else can help more.. sorry. | 03:58 |
| Quest-Master | :) | 03:58 |
| setite | verr... right click the a: drive with a floppy in it | 03:58 |
| nomasteryoda | Verr-, so the windows drive is NTFS? | 03:58 |
| nomasteryoda | by default | 03:58 |
| Verr- | yeah | 03:58 |
| setite | and format it selected the boot disk feature | 03:58 |
| xed_work | lifeless: Do you know of any compatability issue with any laptops? | 03:58 |
| nomasteryoda | 2 partitions? | 03:58 |
| setite | i believe with that you can format the drive... btu you would still | 03:58 |
| setite | you want to format | 03:59 |
| setite | that wouldnt fix the problem though right | 03:59 |
| Verr- | That would | 03:59 |
| Verr- | It would boot with grub again and tada | 03:59 |
| nomasteryoda | Verr-, if you have them both, wait | 03:59 |
| nomasteryoda | yea | 03:59 |
| nomasteryoda | that would work.. but you can use winxp boot loader | 03:59 |

| Verr- | I have configured it a lot | 04:17 |

| drspin | Crimsun: correction, the file exists... it's readable and writedable by root only | 04:18 |
| jivera | briareus: How do you figure that defeats the purpose of sudo? | 04:18 |
| crimsun | drspin: that's the source of the problem. | 04:19 |
| nomasteryoda | briareus, just open a Root Terminal | 04:19 |
| jivera | And why don't you think you should need to be root to shut down? | 04:19 |
| nomasteryoda | briareus, then just do it once | 04:19 |
| setite | ?? | 04:19 |
| briareus | jivera, if it prompts me for password at EVERY system command, then i am entering my password MORE | 04:19 |
| drspin | crimsun: sudo chmod 0660 ? | 04:19 |
| setite | boot floppy? | 04:19 |
| setite | to get into linux | 04:19 |
| setite | or to format | 04:19 |
| crimsun | drspin: no, just erase it. | 04:19 |
| jivera | briareus: Who ever said the point of sudo was to enter your password less often? | 04:19 |
| briareus | well, then whats the point | 04:19 |
| setite | like i said im making a bootable floppy from partition magic... i think you can use it to format your C | 04:19 |
| jivera | Also, it should only ask for it if you haven't entered it in the past 5 minutes. | 04:19 |
| setite | with the command "format c:" | 04:19 |
| setite | but im not sure | 04:20 |
| jivera | briareus: The point is it eliminates the need for a root account, and allows more fine grained root permissions. | 04:20 |
| jivera | If you don't like it, use 'sudo -s' to get a root shell. | 04:20 |
| nomasteryoda | briareus, if you use the Root Terminal, then you just do it once | 04:20 |
| nicedreams | sudo -s is the bomb | 04:20 |
| briareus | jivera, so that means i have to go through and take every system command i can ever think of and add it to visudo? thats ridiculous | 04:20 |
| nicedreams | i don't like sudo too much | 04:20 |

| jivera | drspin: Huh? | 04:27 |
| Verr- | yeah. | 04:27 |

| jivera | spikeb: Does it include the flash/java packages themselves, or just the auto-downloader/installer? | 04:27 |
| Verr- | ... | 04:27 |
| spikeb | jivera, includes the packages themselves i believe. | 04:27 |
| drspin | jivera: I'm referring to your interest in seeing ... java, mp3, divX... more easially installed.. | 04:28 |
| Verr- | nomasteryoda | 04:28 |
| jivera | drspin: I didn't say anything about mp3 or divx. | 04:28 |
| Verr- | so can you do flash movies with linux huh? | 04:28 |
| spikeb | drspin, java and flash are merely a problem of not having a mature OSS version :) | 04:28 |
| jivera | Verr-: You can watch them. | 04:28 |
| spikeb | flash is in multiverse btw | 04:28 |
| Verr- | i know | 04:28 |
| drspin | when I installed suse 8 it had JAVA, Flash, Mp3, DivX packages :) | 04:28 |
| sophacles | mjr do you know which repository xinerama is in? | 04:28 |
| drspin | that was convenient | 04:28 |
| spikeb | i have suse 8.2 pro, it has all that | 04:28 |
| Verr- | But he said something like you could do them as well | 04:28 |
| drspin | Verr: yes... hang ong | 04:28 |
| Verr- | setite | 04:29 |
| Verr- | done... | 04:29 |
| spikeb | there IS a free flash project - swfdec | 04:29 |
| spikeb | help them out | 04:29 |
| spikeb | IIRC, flash is a documented format | 04:29 |
| setite | ok afaik... with that disk you can boot to a dos prompt | 04:29 |
| setite | and type | 04:29 |

| drspin | Xover Office will run Flash MX -- almost perfectly... | 04:30 |
| spikeb | jivera, yes, but i'm not sure what the latest documented version is - might be the latest release, might not | 04:30 |

| setite | yea | 04:31 |
| Verr- | its 500 mb! | 04:31 |
| setite | so | 04:31 |
| Verr- | Takes like 4 hours | 04:31 |
| drspin | kleedrac: I use cvscedega and no ;) | 04:31 |
| jivera | spikeb: Ah, I think I found it... | 04:31 |
| setite | flashget can get you 500k or more | 04:31 |
| Verr- | in finland... | 04:31 |
| nomasteryoda | yes | 04:31 |
| spikeb | jivera, http://www.schleef.org/swfdec/ is the project im talkin about :) | 04:31 |
| setite | it opens several connections | 04:31 |
| setite | so instead of one at like 80k | 04:31 |
| setite | you can open like 8 and get around 500k | 04:31 |
| Verr- | wht? | 04:31 |
| setite | it will cut the time down | 04:31 |
| setite | ok download flashget | 04:31 |
| Verr- | Isnt possble in finland man | 04:31 |
| spikeb | what? | 04:32 |
| setite | if you have broadband you cna use flashget to cut the time down | 04:32 |

| setite | its like p2p | 04:32 |
| regeya | ohboy | 04:32 |
| setite | it opens several connections and downloads the file in parts | 04:32 |
| nomasteryoda | Verr-, i download from Finland or from another Netherlands country and get 500+ on Getright or flashget | 04:32 |
| spikeb | Verr-, if you open different downloads of different segments at the same time, the end result is faster | 04:33 |
| regeya | gxmame, first pry the ROMs out of your console. | 04:33 |
| spikeb | Verr-, that's what things like flashget do | 04:33 |
| setite | so even though each download slows down the combined speed is fast as hell | 04:33 |
| regeya | joujou, first pry the ROMs out of your console. | 04:33 |

| setite | verr - then yout floppy must not work so well | 04:33 |

| Verr- | setite lets see | 04:37 |
| Seabook | Do I need a ext2 or ext3 partition? | 04:37 |

| setite | ext3 | 04:38 |
| vladster | stream tunewr is working and ripping but I can't tune in to listem, XMMS is broken for some strange reason | 04:38 |

| setite | yea | 04:38 |
| Verr- | this is fresh laptop :) | 04:38 |
| setite | someone answer me | 04:38 |

| nuOpus | setite what is question? | 04:39 |
| Verr- | Cos i have 2 ubuntu laptops soon | 04:39 |
| setite | is 5 or 6 gigs enough for ubuntu | 04:39 |

| Seabook | setite: that was answer to my question? | 04:39 |
| setite | well my other rig... when it works has 400 | 04:39 |
| nomasteryoda | Verr-, make one home partition | 04:39 |
| setite | thatll be enough right | 04:39 |
| setite | hehe | 04:40 |
| spikeb | heh | 04:40 |
| setite | ok now from a friends bad experience | 04:40 |
| vladster | is there a fix of do I have to use something else until a patch comes throught | 04:40 |
| Verr- | havent admin rights :/ | 04:40 |
| setite | i need to defrag first right | 04:40 |
| Verr- | niicee | 04:40 |
| setite | then set aside the ext3 partition | 04:40 |
| spikeb | if you plan on partitioning, yes, defrag | 04:40 |
| setite | yea my friend didnt do that | 04:40 |
| spikeb | heh | 04:40 |
| nomasteryoda | vladster, you can do it... looking at wiki | 04:40 |
| setite | really bad experience | 04:40 |
| spikeb | that'll cause problems sometimes | 04:41 |
| vladster | which wiki | 04:41 |
| setite | its what i did when i tried to install rh6 a few years back | 04:41 |
| nomasteryoda | ubuntulinux.org/wiki | 04:41 |
| nomasteryoda | also look at ubuntuforums | 04:41 |
| vladster | I found a very long bug report on that exact fault | 04:42 |

| setite | kebac same here | 04:43 |
| setite | it makes me mad though | 04:43 |
| nomasteryoda | best way vladster | 04:43 |
| setite | its because no surround sound on linux | 04:43 |
| setite | does surround sound at least work on dvds? | 04:43 |
| setite | i know cedega doesnt have i | 04:43 |
| setite | t | 04:43 |
| kebac | setite: if only they had good ati drivers, i guess i could have CS working on freebsd also... | 04:43 |
| setite | well i use nvidia | 04:43 |
| kebac | setite: or ati drivers at all... | 04:43 |
| setite | so drivers arent so bad | 04:43 |
| kebac | i am thinking of upgrading to nvidia as well | 04:44 |
| setite | ati's linux support is abysmal at best | 04:44 |
| setite | IMO at least | 04:44 |
| kebac | i dont want to know about ati's freebsd support... | 04:44 |
| kebac | i guess there is no support | 04:44 |
| setite | oh yea... yoru talking freebsd... why not tru linux | 04:45 |

| === wazoo [~jlarue@h-68-164-105-135.dnvtco56.dynamic.covad.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| bluefoxicy | so I closed everything I was running and it freed up like 150M of memory | 04:52 |
| bluefoxicy | this was after running KDE for a week straight mind you; I never log out. | 04:52 |
| kebac | well KDE is the ass | 04:52 |
| nuOpus | with that much memory and no swap utilization you can sort of tell that KDE is slower | 04:53 |
| bluefoxicy | kde 3.2 something. | 04:53 |
| nuOpus | and if you can tell on a fast machine you must definately tell on something slower with less ram | 04:53 |
| setite | my rig... that is not working because i think i killed the mobo has 1gig or ram... 2.7 ghz... on a amd64 3200 dtr... meanign 700mhz overclock... and 400 gigs... is that enough for ubuntu? | 04:53 |
| nomasteryoda | fluxbox is great too | 04:53 |
| bluefoxicy | nuOpus: i'm convinced there's a leak | 04:53 |
| nuOpus | ya | 04:53 |
| bluefoxicy | nuOpus: or that kde is just ass | 04:53 |
| nuOpus | I am in love with XFCE 4.2 | 04:53 |
| nuOpus | or the RC | 04:53 |
| vladster | You need another 7 gigs of ram,Tee Hee | 04:54 |
| bluefoxicy | it may just be KDE making 8 billion "kdeinit" processes | 04:54 |
| === WeedVender [~jiraiya@6tdev02.codetel.net.do] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| nomasteryoda | vladster, lol | 04:54 |
| nuOpus | bluefoxicy: I think that KDE tries to offer too much that is not needed | 04:54 |
| bluefoxicy | it seems to want to start ~9-15 of them per task, and close about 3 when a task ends. | 04:54 |
| setite | i dont see a real difference between KDE and GNOME | 04:54 |
| regeya | users of certain distributions tend to hate kde | 04:54 |
| nuOpus | I like GNOME because it is clean | 04:54 |
| nicedreams | xfce eh | 04:54 |
| regeya | users of other distributions tend to hate gnome | 04:54 |
| bluefoxicy | regeya: I like Mandrake, SuSE, and Gentoo. :) | 04:55 |
| regeya | some people just tend to hate both. | 04:55 |
| Crane | nuOpus: me | 04:55 |
| nomasteryoda | nicedreams, the latest one is very nice | 04:55 |
| Crane | too | 04:55 |
| bluefoxicy | Debian is ok | 04:55 |
| === method55 [~method55@63.127.193.16] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| bluefoxicy | but Debian is kind of a middle grounder. | 04:55 |

| nomasteryoda | nicedreams, not sure | 04:55 |
| nuOpus | nicedreams: Have you tried the new hoary test CDs? | 04:55 |
| bluefoxicy | Ubuntu is closer to Mandrake and SuSE than Debian. . . it's actually more user friendly :) | 04:55 |
| regeya | I for one tolerate GNOME, and chose Ubuntu for that reason, because they saved me the headache of getting GNOME working properly. | 04:55 |
| vladster | ;) | 04:55 |
| === etorix [~etorix@usr1274-har.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| regeya | GNOME is a flaming pile of garbage, but a darn usable flaming pile of garbage. | 04:55 |
| setite | blue - blasphemer! | 04:55 |
| bluefoxicy | redhat i dislike | 04:56 |
| setite | hehe | 04:56 |
| etorix | ha ha | 04:56 |
| bluefoxicy | slack is ass | 04:56 |
| nuOpus | nicedreams: Ya .... I got the daily hoary CDs ... the one released today. Works really well | 04:56 |
| Crane | anyone running Xfce | 04:56 |
| tux | slackware doesnt have 64bit support | 04:56 |
| tux | thats that all about | 04:56 |
| vladster | Slack was the first one I tries over 14 years ago | 04:56 |
| bluefoxicy | I tried slack | 04:56 |
| nuOpus | nicedreams: when it boots you get a "server" option so you can install on a server without the desktop crap | 04:56 |
| nomasteryoda | vladster, try Rhythmbox | 04:56 |
| regeya | um | 04:56 |
| bluefoxicy | it was ass. The package manager didn't exist. | 04:56 |
| nicedreams | nuOpus: I'm using the hoary repositories | 04:56 |
| setite | ubuntu is what happens when you pick a damn good distro... and make it better | 04:56 |
| === pavkonti [~pavkonti@213.240.240.160] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| setite | or different if you prefer | 04:56 |
| nicedreams | setite, for sure | 04:56 |
| bluefoxicy | its "packages" were .tgz files that got extracted to / | 04:56 |
| === regeya calls 'bullshit' | ||
| setite | damn ubuntu 32bit download wont break 250kb | 04:57 |
| bluefoxicy | its package manager was basically zcat $i | tar x -C / | 04:57 |
| regeya | linux didn't exist 14 years ago | 04:57 |
| setite | this is annoying me | 04:57 |
| nuOpus | setite: Uhhh noo ... Ubuntu is what happens when you take a distro with no funding and fund them | 04:57 |
| setite | the 64bit went 500kb | 04:57 |
| drspin | setite: yes, Ubuntu is definately more desktop-ready then any of the other distros that I have tried ;) | 04:57 |
| setite | nu0pus... it didnt have funding before? | 04:57 |
| WeedVender | I got a question | 04:57 |
| nomasteryoda | Kompose .. cool screenshot - http://developer.berlios.de/dbimage.php?id=861 | 04:57 |
| bluefoxicy | drspin: it needs an installer like Mandrake's :) | 04:57 |
| nuOpus | Not like ubuntu has | 04:58 |
| bluefoxicy | a very pretty and nice looking installer | 04:58 |
| setite | i thought it started as a freely available funded project | 04:58 |
| nomasteryoda | go WeedVender | 04:58 |
| etorix | im using xfce4 | 04:58 |
| nicedreams | once debian gets good mplayer and codec support then it will be much better | 04:58 |
| bluefoxicy | that you can click on buttons to use | 04:58 |
| Crane | installing xfce4 from synamptic | 04:58 |
| WeedVender | I mounted a vfat drive and I can't see the files that ive added through Linux in Windows | 04:58 |
| daniels | nicedreams: that cannot happen for legal reasons. | 04:58 |
| bluefoxicy | because normal users are afraid of the tab key | 04:58 |
| nomasteryoda | bluefoxicy, progeny has a nice installer | 04:58 |
| nuOpus | Ubuntu is being funded by conical and one of the richest capital investors | 04:58 |
| Crane | is Xfce4 the only package I need | 04:58 |
| daniels | nicedreams: if you ship wmv codecs, you will get sued into oblivion. | 04:58 |
| nomasteryoda | bluefoxicy, and it is debian | 04:58 |
| drspin | bluefoxicy: yes ;) and easier ways to install the necessities (java, mp3, divx) | 04:58 |
| daniels | nuOpus: ('canonical') | 04:58 |
| nuOpus | daniels: thank you | 04:58 |

| etorix | hmm .. i use the os-cillation debs on 32-bit or weberas on 64-bit | 04:59 |
| setite | mpg123 gives mp3 support right | 04:59 |
| bluefoxicy | mpg321 too | 04:59 |
| WeedVender | I mounted a vfat drive and I can't see the files that ive added through Linux in Windows | 04:59 |
| drspin | setite: for some programs... | 04:59 |
| nuOpus | nicedreams: mplayer works great in universe ... but no codecs | 04:59 |
| setite | for xmms? | 04:59 |
| bluefoxicy | WeedVender: you mounted it read only :) | 04:59 |
| drspin | nuOpus: install w32codecs | 04:59 |
| bluefoxicy | setite: oh :) | 04:59 |
| === etorix [~etorix@usr1274-har.blueyonder.co.uk] has left #ubuntu ["(*BOOM!*)(*.net] | ||
| bluefoxicy | xmms uses mpg123's core | 04:59 |
| setite | so yes? | 04:59 |
| nuOpus | drspin: you can get ALL of the codecs from the mplayer web site and just extract it to /usr/lib/win32 | 04:59 |
| nicedreams | bluefoxicy: really? | 04:59 |
| WeedVender | Linux can write on it.. | 05:00 |
| WeedVender | Ive added files.. | 05:00 |
| === regeya strains his brain | ||
| nuOpus | drspin: w32codecs does not work as well ... it is bare in comparison | 05:00 |
| nicedreams | nuOpus: hoary has them in the repositories | 05:00 |
| WeedVender | but yet I dont see it on WIndows... | 05:00 |
| bluefoxicy | nicedreams: mine did, then i replaced it with beep-media-player | 05:00 |
| drspin | nuOpus: yes ;) I was telling you the same just making you look for them | 05:00 |
| WeedVender | I dont see how thats read only. | 05:00 |
| nicedreams | lol...i like BMP | 05:00 |
| setite | when i get over to ubuntu sometime in the hour... i need to figure out how to get xmms working with mp3s... but without download xmms-mp3 if possible | 05:00 |
| bluefoxicy | WeedVender: it was a joke. | 05:00 |
| regeya | okay, okay...since I can't remember what year the kernel was begun, and since I can't find the original usenet post anywhere handy, I'll just shut up. :-} | 05:00 |
| vladster | nomasteryoda: where do I change the file association for streamtuner | 05:00 |
| lifeless | WeedVender: vfat & ntfs are quite different | 05:00 |
| nuOpus | nicedreams: no not all. It only has like 9 megs of them. THe pack from mplayer site called all ... is 19 megs worth | 05:00 |
| spikeb | yes | 05:01 |
| setite | ntfs is evil | 05:01 |
| WeedVender | vfat is anything in FAT | 05:01 |
| WeedVender | Windows should see FAT. | 05:01 |
| WeedVender | even if its on NTFS. | 05:01 |
| vladster | I think it was 93 | 05:01 |
| setite | yea it can | 05:01 |
| setite | floppies are fat | 05:01 |
| nuOpus | Good example .... I cannot go to xbox.com and view trailers with the outdated w32codecs deb ... but getting the newest myself from mplayer site I can | 05:01 |
| regeya | I was thinking 92, but 93 sounds good, I guess | 05:01 |
| setite | and some usb stick drives | 05:01 |
| vladster | I remeber because I was still in the dos world at the time | 05:01 |
| nuOpus | setite: No ... floppies are skinny :-0 | 05:01 |

| bluefoxicy | my first computer hooked to my TV | 05:02 |
| setite | but fat16 | 05:02 |
| bluefoxicy | and contained a SID chip | 05:02 |
| bluefoxicy | and 64KiB of memory. | 05:02 |
| nuOpus | setite: I have a floppy I use with the driverloader debs ... it is ext2 | 05:02 |
| WeedVender | so any ideas? | 05:02 |
| === drspin started out on an abacus ;) | ||
| regeya | I was in high school in a really rural area. I shouldn't use that as an excuse since someone from my town was one of the first people in the linux counter project. | 05:02 |
| nuOpus | even though a good portion of it is used by the file system | 05:02 |
| setite | well arent you special | 05:02 |
| nuOpus | lol | 05:03 |
| vladster | Mione was the size of three fridges and my college | 05:03 |
| setite | damnit why wont this download break 250k | 05:03 |
| WeedVender | anyone with ideas? | 05:04 |
| nuOpus | what are you trying to download? | 05:04 |
| setite | ooh there we go | 05:04 |
| setite | 557 | 05:04 |
| setite | 4 jets beats 5 for once | 05:04 |
| setite | downloading ubuntu | 05:04 |
| setite | i finally decided to just sneak it on my dads computer... | 05:04 |
| nuOpus | the hoary test cd's? | 05:04 |
| nuOpus | oh. LOL | 05:05 |
| setite | he wont use it much in the next two weeks so i might as well | 05:05 |
| joujou | how to play full screen in gxmame? anyone please? | 05:05 |
| nuOpus | setite: May be the best thing you have done for him! lol | 05:05 |
| WeedVender | I have another question then... | 05:05 |
| nicedreams | alt+enter | 05:05 |
| nuOpus | may be faster just using a torrent | 05:05 |
| nicedreams | joujou | 05:05 |
| setite | nah... | 05:05 |
| kebac | joujou | 05:05 |
| setite | torrents have been sucking on here lately | 05:05 |
| joujou | yup yup | 05:05 |
| nuOpus | on Windows? | 05:05 |
| WeedVender | apt-get install w32codecs gives me that it isn't available. | 05:05 |
| setite | yea | 05:05 |
| nuOpus | Which torrent client? | 05:05 |
| setite | its because this pc is slow | 05:05 |
| nuOpus | There is a reason ... that is why I am asking | 05:05 |
| nuOpus | oh | 05:06 |
| setite | on my other rig they worked fin | 05:06 |
| setite | well i used abc | 05:06 |
| vladster | and it had a whole 640 k of "core" memory | 05:06 |
| spikeb | i cant use BT effeciently because of my rounter | 05:06 |
| jivera | WeedVender: You need to add the marillat apt archive. | 05:06 |
| setite | and then i used the java one | 05:06 |
| setite | i forget the name | 05:06 |
| jivera | Azureus? | 05:06 |
| nomasteryoda | Azerus | 05:06 |
| setite | yea | 05:06 |
| nomasteryoda | yea | 05:06 |
| nuOpus | usually on windows for the actual bittorrent it is because the upstream is too high | 05:06 |
| setite | and it started to suck too | 05:06 |
| setite | i messed with that too | 05:06 |
| setite | i gave up | 05:06 |
| spikeb | my router doesnt have any sort of advanced configuration, so i cant open up ports for bt | 05:06 |
| setite | when my other rig worked better with the same exact torrent and configuration | 05:06 |
| nomasteryoda | setite, all torrent sites are hammered now days | 05:07 |
| WeedVender | and how do I do that? | 05:07 |
| nuOpus | too bad they dont have gnome-bittorrent in the repos | 05:07 |
| setite | nomasteryoda.. yea that too | 05:07 |
| nicedreams | spikeb: you have a microsoft router or something? | 05:07 |
| nuOpus | had to build it from source | 05:07 |
| spikeb | nicedreams, almost - a 3com homeconnect from like 2000 | 05:07 |
| setite | torrent was nice while it lasted | 05:07 |
| nicedreams | setite: while? | 05:07 |
| nomasteryoda | setite, yea | 05:07 |
| nicedreams | setite: i still use it | 05:07 |
| setite | well the not so legal side | 05:07 |
| spikeb | it'll still be fine for free uses. | 05:07 |
| nomasteryoda | i do to | 05:07 |
| nicedreams | setite: they have a new beta for the serverless or whatever it is one | 05:07 |
| setite | i like to get movies before i buy them | 05:08 |
| nicedreams | goto the software page on www.neowin.net | 05:08 |
| nicedreams | should be in the front list still | 05:08 |
| setite | i went to see HP3 | 05:08 |
| regeya | from linux.org, on the Linux kernel: 'He began his work in 1991 when he released version 0.02 and worked steadily until 1994 when version 1.0 of the Linux Kernel was released.' | 05:08 |
| nuOpus | I thitorrent is no longer legal? | 05:08 |
| setite | then downloaded it on torrent | 05:08 |
| setite | then bought it when it was released | 05:08 |
| nuOpus | err .. torrent is no longer legal? | 05:08 |
| setite | it is legal | 05:08 |
| setite | just some torrents arent | 05:08 |
| nomasteryoda | nuOpus, yes it is | 05:08 |
| Agrajag | it's always been legal | 05:08 |
| nicedreams | nuOpus: how can torrent be illegal when i get legal linux stuff all the time | 05:08 |
| spikeb | torrent is legal - the mpaa is merely going after lots of torrent sites. | 05:08 |
| nuOpus | ok that is what I thought | 05:08 |
| nicedreams | like a VCR | 05:08 |
| setite | so the AA's are paying people to hammer the sites | 05:08 |
| nomasteryoda | piratebay | 05:08 |
| Agrajag | the sharing of copyrighted material using bittorrent is not, and neevr has been, legal | 05:08 |
| nomasteryoda | they are the best | 05:08 |
| nicedreams | the torrent sites are illegal though | 05:08 |
| nicedreams | now at least | 05:08 |
| setite | however there is a little legal leeway for the torrent sites | 05:09 |
| spikeb | torrents should work BETTER when they're busy - thats the point. | 05:09 |
| nuOpus | spikeb: They do | 05:09 |
| spikeb | the websites hosting the .torrent files however.... | 05:09 |
| nomasteryoda | nicedreams, ask suprnova.org about that...they were shutdown | 05:09 |
| setite | because they dont post the stuff themselves | 05:09 |
| spikeb | suprnova hosted TONS of illegal stuff. | 05:09 |
| nuOpus | The do not work better when they are busy if you have it configured to use too much of your upstream | 05:09 |
| setite | yea i liked suprnova was cool | 05:09 |
| nomasteryoda | spikeb, but no they did not | 05:09 |
| spikeb | yes they did. | 05:09 |
| nomasteryoda | spikeb, only the links | 05:09 |
| setite | they survived a while since the torrents were user supported | 05:09 |
| setite | posted* | 05:09 |
| spikeb | ahh | 05:10 |
| nicedreams | a new version of bittorrent came out on dec 21, so it's still being workedon | 05:10 |
| spikeb | nomasteryoda, good luck getting that one past a US court | 05:10 |
| spikeb | heh | 05:10 |
| Agrajag | nomasteryoda: they enabled people to access illegal material | 05:10 |
| nuOpus | I use torrentsearch.us now | 05:10 |
| Agrajag | I don't see yhow you can think they're innocent | 05:10 |
| nicedreams | http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=26384&category=software | 05:10 |
| nomasteryoda | setite, lookat the legal crap emails posted on piratebay | 05:10 |
| spikeb | i just use direct torrent links from providers - eg distro venders | 05:10 |
| setite | bluffs? | 05:10 |
| setite | isnt piratebay in french or german | 05:10 |
| nomasteryoda | nu0pus, i use google | 05:10 |
| setite | i wish torrent has lasted longer though | 05:10 |
| nuOpus | Agrajag: Torrent is not illegal .... used for lots of legal reasons like distributing free linux ISOs | 05:10 |
| setite | its not cool | 05:11 |
| nomasteryoda | setite, yes, but you can read the title syou need | 05:11 |
| Agrajag | nuOpus: I never said it was | 05:11 |
| setite | yea i know... i used it once in a while | 05:11 |
| spikeb | nuOpus, more and more distro makers are starting to use it for that | 05:11 |
| nomasteryoda | ok, off topic? | 05:11 |
| Agrajag | I said that what suprnova.org was doing was illegal. | 05:11 |
| nuOpus | Agrajag: Sure some people use it to do illegal things ... BUT people use knives to do illegal things too | 05:11 |
| spikeb | nuOpus, for eg xandros and yellowdog | 05:11 |
| nicedreams | VCR's and CD-RW's would be illegal then if torrents and other programs were illegal | 05:11 |
| nuOpus | and we dont ban all knives | 05:11 |
| nomasteryoda | ubuntu too | 05:11 |
| Agrajag | nuOpus: Did you even READ what I said? | 05:11 |
| setite | nicedreams - they almost are | 05:11 |
| nomasteryoda | lol | 05:11 |
| nuOpus | Agrajag: Probably not | 05:11 |
| spikeb | saves tons of bandwidth, hence they can use it | 05:11 |
| setite | one of the latest laws would make them illegal | 05:11 |
| nicedreams | LOL | 05:11 |
| spikeb | i think it's very nice if not for my router that i really should upgrade | 05:11 |
| nuOpus | Agrajag: LOL probably not if you are acting like that | 05:11 |
| setite | it was a really loaded dangerous general law that could outlaw computers, vcrs, etc | 05:12 |
| nuOpus | ahhhhh | 05:12 |
| nicedreams | it won't happen | 05:12 |
| setite | i know | 05:12 |
| nicedreams | it can't happen | 05:12 |
| spikeb | it can happen | 05:12 |
| setite | it can.. | 05:12 |
| spikeb | but it probably wont | 05:12 |
| nicedreams | that's like putting a ban on what kind of water you can drink | 05:12 |
| setite | it was attached to an education law oddly | 05:12 |
| nicedreams | it's rediculous so it won't happen | 05:12 |
| setite | its why nothing gets done | 05:12 |
| nomasteryoda | woww... Kompose is cool | 05:12 |
| spikeb | eh, if its ridiculous, we americans will probably do it | 05:13 |
| setite | all these crazy riders are added to good bills | 05:13 |
| nuOpus | So has anyone found any luck in the hoary test CD's? (just to get back on topic. lol) | 05:13 |
| setite | its because no one cares | 05:13 |
| nuOpus | I actually like it | 05:13 |
| setite | youve gotta watch congress | 05:13 |
| nicedreams | nuOpus: what are you talking about CDs for? Use the hoary repositories? | 05:13 |
| nicedreams | no ? | 05:13 |
| spikeb | they have hoary test cds already? | 05:13 |
| spikeb | damn | 05:13 |
| nuOpus | I mean for a new installation | 05:13 |
| setite | whats a test cd | 05:13 |
| nicedreams | oh | 05:13 |
| spikeb | anyone know how usplash is coming along? | 05:13 |
| nomasteryoda | daily release | 05:13 |
| crimsun | spikeb: very slowly. | 05:13 |
| nuOpus | it is way a waste of time to install Warty FIRST then upgrade to hoary | 05:13 |
| spikeb | crimsun, uh oh | 05:13 |
| spikeb | crimsun, how come? | 05:13 |
| setite | damnit i gotta go to work in 4 hours | 05:14 |
| crimsun | spikeb: well, more developers would help... | 05:14 |
| spikeb | ahh | 05:14 |
| spikeb | crimsun, yeah that'll hurt any open project | 05:14 |
| nuOpus | I just re-installed my desktop machine with the Hoary CDs and it worked creat | 05:14 |
| nuOpus | great | 05:14 |
| nuOpus | get it ad cdimage.ubuntulinux.org | 05:14 |
| spikeb | nuOpus, better than dist-upgrading? | 05:14 |
| nuOpus | for a new install it is faster | 05:14 |
| nicedreams | spikeb: less time consuming probably | 05:14 |
| spikeb | crimsun, is it unlikely to be usable by hoary release? | 05:14 |
| nuOpus | but if you already have warty then just dist-upgrade | 05:14 |
| nicedreams | I don't think I could use anything but test realeases | 05:15 |
| nuOpus | usplash is supposed to make it into hoary eventually | 05:15 |
| nicedreams | usplash? what's this | 05:15 |
| spikeb | i thought they didnt add things in after release | 05:15 |
| spikeb | nicedreams, userspace bootsplash | 05:15 |
| nuOpus | yes | 05:15 |
| nuOpus | instead of fbspash or a framebuffer splash that other video cards have issues with | 05:15 |
| nicedreams | is that the same thing as the splash that is in the kernel? | 05:15 |
| setite | 80% | 05:15 |
| spikeb | nicedreams, no. but same purpose - to show a splash screen | 05:16 |
| nuOpus | no that is a frame buffer splash | 05:16 |
| nuOpus | but same thing | 05:16 |
| spikeb | the basic idea (showing pretty pictures) is the same, the method of doing so isn't :) | 05:16 |
| nuOpus | some cards have problems with a frame buffer splash | 05:16 |
| nuOpus | it is kinda like what Fedora Core is using | 05:16 |
| spikeb | nuOpus, and so does the installer. | 05:16 |
| nicedreams | fedora makes me feel sick when i hear that name | 05:17 |
| spikeb | fedora uses rhgb - interesting, but a bit heavy. | 05:17 |
| nuOpus | ya | 05:17 |
| nuOpus | it actually runs X | 05:17 |
| spikeb | i love fedora - for being a tech proving ground | 05:17 |
| spikeb | wouldnt use it myself though | 05:17 |
| nicedreams | fedora is cool, but I like the more flexability in debian | 05:17 |
| nuOpus | but same concept being a program that loads after the kernel load to provide a graphic | 05:17 |
| nuOpus | instead of being done by the kernel | 05:17 |
| spikeb | yeah | 05:17 |
| setite | fedora has no ntfs reading by defauly | 05:18 |
| setite | poo | 05:18 |
| jivera | Google for it, you can find some rpms. | 05:18 |
| nuOpus | spikeb: Gentoo uses bootsplash ... I was thinking of getting the sources and seeing if I can make it work for ubuntu | 05:18 |
| spikeb | nuOpus, you can, easily | 05:18 |
| daniels | bootsplash and rhgb are both problematic | 05:18 |
| daniels | bootsplash, because it's in the kernel, and doesn't belong there | 05:19 |
| nuOpus | daniels: Better than nothing! lol | 05:19 |
| nuOpus | bootsplash doesnt have to be in the kernel | 05:19 |
| daniels | rhgb, because it uses X, and the current implementations (particularly libX11) are far too heavy, and make boot slower at the expense of a little bit shinier | 05:19 |
| nuOpus | fbsplash does | 05:19 |
| nicedreams | nuOpus: answer back my IM pls | 05:19 |
| spikeb | nuOpus, if you can just release some debs that make it all nice, go for it | 05:19 |
| setite | daniels... slower on a fast machine | 05:19 |
| daniels | nuOpus: last I saw, every bootsplsah implementation (with the 'bootsplash' name) relied on patching the kernel | 05:19 |
| setite | noticeably? | 05:19 |
| daniels | which is just not cool | 05:19 |
| daniels | setite: yes | 05:19 |
| nuOpus | daniels: install ubuntu | 05:19 |
| nuOpus | errr | 05:20 |
| nuOpus | daniels: Install Gentoo | 05:20 |
| spikeb | rhgb (esp newer versions) make it very slow | 05:20 |
| daniels | setite: especially if you're sleeping on a mode switch, which can be up to four or five seconds on some laptops | 05:20 |
| spikeb | nuOpus, gentoo's fbsplash patches | 05:20 |
| daniels | nuOpus: why? | 05:20 |
| setite | we talking half a second... 1 second...2... or like 5-10 | 05:20 |
| spikeb | nuOpus, the patch is just applied by default | 05:20 |
| WeedVender | nuOpus, how in the world would I install the w32codecs? | 05:20 |
| nuOpus | it is an rcscript that loads bootsplash | 05:20 |
| spikeb | setite, 5-10+ | 05:20 |
| setite | ouch | 05:20 |
| nuOpus | and works if no frame buffer is in the kernel | 05:20 |
| crimsun | WeedVender: follow the RestrictedFormats section on the wiki | 05:20 |
| setite | but linux starts so damn slow what does it matter | 05:20 |
| setite | hehe | 05:20 |
| daniels | nuOpus: interesting | 05:20 |
| crimsun | WeedVender: I could have sworn I told you this earlier. | 05:20 |
| nicedreams | WeedVender: apt-get install w32codecs ? | 05:20 |
| nuOpus | WeedVendor: Install to /usr/lib/win32 | 05:20 |
| daniels | nuOpus: but, last I saw, this relied on their patches | 05:20 |
| WeedVender | didnt work | 05:20 |
| nuOpus | he wants the FULL pack of codecs | 05:20 |
| setite | woot!!! two minutes left on the download | 05:21 |
| nuOpus | not the half-ass full pack | 05:21 |
| nuOpus | lol | 05:21 |
| crimsun | WeedVender: what doesn't work? | 05:21 |
| WeedVender | I just want to play Top Gear | 05:21 |
| spikeb | setite, pretty fast | 05:21 |
| daniels | nuOpus: we are working on usplash, which will solve these problems | 05:21 |
| WeedVender | apt-get install W32codecs | 05:21 |
| setite | and this is a slow download | 05:21 |
| WeedVender | didn't work. | 05:21 |
| crimsun | WeedVender: ...what problem was that supposed to solve? | 05:21 |
| nicedreams | for some reason it installed the FULL codecs for me. I beleive it did. I haven't had codec problems like normal at least | 05:21 |
| setite | 40 mins | 05:21 |
| nuOpus | WeedVender: Its because the tar.gz will open into a subdirectory .. you have to move all of the files out of the subdir and just place them in /usr/lib/win32 | 05:21 |
| daniels | setite: also, linux doesn't really start too slow -- you're looking at 30 seconds to a login screen on our laptops, which have slow disks | 05:21 |
| setite | thats twice as long as it took me to get the livecd and the 64bit installer | 05:21 |
| WeedVender | .. i c | 05:22 |
| setite | well on my other rig... fedora made me yearn for windows in regards to boot times | 05:22 |
| daniels | setite: (that's faster than XP, and a sight faster than Fedora and Gentoo) | 05:22 |
| nuOpus | daniels: Ya ... im sure that since it is just a binary being loaded through an rc script you can do something with it | 05:22 |
| setite | you on crack! | 05:22 |
| spikeb | gentoo takes like two seconds to load on my machine | 05:22 |
| spikeb | after the year and a half install, that is | 05:22 |
| crimsun | 2 seconds? | 05:22 |
| setite | on my other rig... fresh install of XP and fresh install of fedora | 05:22 |
| nuOpus | LOL | 05:22 |
| crimsun | that's impressive even with -funroll-loops | 05:22 |
| nuOpus | Gentoo is the fastest distro I have seen | 05:22 |
| setite | maybe its a fedora problem | 05:22 |
| spikeb | if you can't tell, i have a habit of exaggerating :P | 05:22 |
| nuOpus | if you install and optimize it correctly with the right flags | 05:23 |
| setite | but i mean 2.5-3 mins for fedora | 05:23 |
| setite | well under a minute for windows | 05:23 |
| nuOpus | or 10 min for SuSE? | 05:23 |
| spikeb | setite, yeah about half of that is because of rhgb | 05:23 |
| crimsun | nuOpus: and if you jump up and down on one foot while smoking certain herbs and ... | 05:23 |
| WeedVender | 10 seconds for Windows Server 2003 :) | 05:23 |
| setite | whatever that means... its slower than shit thats all i know | 05:23 |
| setite | but i do believe you | 05:23 |
| jivera | nuOpus: How much a benefit do you figure you have in running gentoo highly optimized for your system over debian? Do you think it's enough to make up for all the recompiling? | 05:24 |
| setite | fedora seemed to just be a whole mess | 05:24 |
| spikeb | yeah fedora is slow even after boot | 05:24 |
| spikeb | i dunno wtf is up with that | 05:24 |
| spikeb | jivera, no | 05:24 |
| spikeb | jivera, the ONLY thing that makes up for all that damn compiling (possibly) is the whole USE flags thing | 05:24 |
| setite | why does mandrake cost so much damn money for the 64bit | 05:25 |
| drspin | where does ubuntu look for keymaps? | 05:25 |
| setite | i mean suse is bad enough at 90bucks | 05:25 |
| jivera | Dunno, I'd rather spend a bit of extra disk space to install a few packages that I don't really need, than spend 6 months recompiling. | 05:25 |
| setite | but mandrake was like 160 us | 05:25 |
| setite | the longest part of the fedora install was figuring out what all those damn packages were | 05:26 |
| jivera | drspin: /usr/share/keymaps | 05:26 |
| WeedVender | ok, I can't extract to the /usr/lib/w32 because of some security settings? | 05:26 |
| spikeb | USE SUDO | 05:27 |
| crimsun | WeedVender: you need root privileges | 05:27 |
| === pavkonti [~pavkonti@213.240.240.160] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| daniels | nuOpus: the thing is, that binary could be echo 1 > /proc/bootsplash | 05:27 |
| daniels | nuOpus: which may not exist on our systems | 05:27 |
| daniels | nuOpus: if it requires a kernel patch, then it's no good | 05:27 |
| setite | ok burning ubuntu installer | 05:28 |
| drspin | keymaps?? | 05:28 |
| setite | shit defragging is gonna take like 10 years | 05:28 |
| spikeb | yup | 05:28 |
| jivera | drspin: I told you. | 05:28 |
| drspin | jivera: | 05:28 |
| drspin | jivera: I see it now ;) | 05:28 |
| nuOpus | daniels: Will look into it ... but I downloaded a fresh kernel from linux.org ... configured and compiled a MINIMAL kernel just for what I need and good their bootsplash to work | 05:29 |
| nuOpus | daniels: That is why I know it has nothing to do with the kernel | 05:30 |
| setite | can windows kernels be optimized? | 05:30 |
| nicedreams | nope | 05:30 |
| nuOpus | setite: Not just a no ... but a hell no | 05:30 |

| nicedreams | gotta love them | 05:33 |

| nicedreams | lies | 05:33 |
| setite | a kernel to me is popcorn | 05:33 |
| nicedreams | linux is a kernel | 05:33 |
| regeya | nicedreams: very nice; what about those of us who have no need to tweak at the moment? | 05:33 |
| nicedreams | it's not the OS | 05:34 |
| setite | is damner a word? | 05:34 |
| spikeb | no | 05:34 |
| blackitten | can someone helpme get shockwave plugin installed for mozilla firefox? | 05:34 |
| nuOpus | setite: 2000 source was leaked ... but im not sure where to get it anymore. MS probably worked hard to seal those channels | 05:34 |
| regeya | nicedreams: use linux on the days we feel like tweaking the kernel, and windows on the days when things are running just fine thank you? | 05:34 |
| setite | or those too scared to tweak like me | 05:34 |
| techn9ne | blackitten, there is no shockwave plugin for linux | 05:34 |
| setite | i killed my linux trying to install nvidia drivers | 05:34 |
| spikeb | heh | 05:34 |
| spikeb | brv | 05:34 |
| vladster | that fixed it | 05:34 |
| spikeb | brb | 05:34 |
| setite | you think im fit to modify a kernel?! | 05:34 |
| nicedreams | regeya: at the moment is fine, but how can you say linux is faster than windows or any other OS if you haven't taken advantage of the linux kernel | 05:34 |
| nuOpus | apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 05:34 |
| techn9ne | he said shockwave not flash | 05:34 |
| setite | the kernel is already faster | 05:35 |
| nuOpus | I dont use Linux cuz it is faster than Windows ... I use LInux because I hate Windows | 05:35 |
| nicedreams | let firefox install shockwave for you | 05:35 |
| setite | especially in my case with amd64 | 05:35 |
| setite | since its optimized | 05:35 |
| regeya | nicedreams: enough with the vague condescending statements. be specific. | 05:35 |
| vladster | that fixed it=======>>apt-get install libmikmod2 | 05:35 |
| blackitten | sorry this is a newbie mom | 05:35 |
| nuOpus | and because I just like the control it gives me | 05:35 |
| nicedreams | true that | 05:35 |
| regeya | nicedreams: I cannot rebut that unless you tell me what you're talking about. | 05:35 |
| techn9ne | you can get flash but not shockwave | 05:35 |
| vladster | I owe someone a pepsi or a mountain dew | 05:35 |
| setite | i dont hate windows... i just dont see any reason to use it when i dont need it | 05:35 |
| nuOpus | shockwave works half-butt in crossover | 05:35 |
| nuOpus | but it works | 05:35 |
| nicedreams | regeya: rebut what, recompiling the kernel? | 05:35 |
| setite | vladster send a pepsi my way | 05:35 |
| blackitten | my kiddo wants to feed her neopets...:) | 05:36 |

| nicedreams | I just know that when I recompile my kernel, I see a HUGE performance increase | 05:37 |

| setite | am i right | 05:37 |
| nuOpus | setite: ya | 05:37 |
| setite | woo hoo | 05:37 |
| setite | had to think about that | 05:37 |
| regeya | nicedreams: exactly what do you do. | 05:37 |
| setite | nice | 05:37 |
| setite | just recompiling? | 05:37 |
| setite | or modifying? | 05:37 |
| nicedreams | regeya: take out all the garbage like appletalk support built into the kerel (what the hell do i need that for) and other junk and then put what I have in my system in the kernel. | 05:37 |
| regeya | nicedreams: are you building a monolithic kernel with exotic compiler options? explain! | 05:37 |
| vladster | nomasteryoda, where do I enable the curent playing track again, I forgot | 05:38 |
| regeya | okay. | 05:38 |
| setite | yea inquiring minds want to know | 05:38 |
| jivera | nicedreams: You know, those aren't built into the kernel... usually they're just modules. | 05:38 |
| nuOpus | regaya: What is your favorite compiler options | 05:38 |
| nicedreams | regeya: OMG. It's your basic modify and recompile of linux | 05:38 |
| drspin | I'm trying to play theguild -- it compiled fine but can't find keymap.default when it starts, any ideas? | 05:38 |
| nuOpus | I use -O 3 and omit-frame-pointer | 05:38 |
| regeya | nicedreams: OMG. what are you, 12? | 05:38 |
| setite | so you do modify thn | 05:38 |
| nicedreams | jivera: i don't like typing more than i have to, to explain something...most people know what i mean | 05:38 |
| nuOpus | setite: Yes I do | 05:38 |
| regeya | nicedreams: let's be adults here, and let's get down to brass tacks. | 05:38 |
| setite | nicedreams - you said , and i quote "I just know that when I recompile my kernel, I see a HUGE performance increase" | 05:39 |
| nicedreams | setite: of course I modify it, what's the point of not | 05:39 |
| nuOpus | setite: It is fun to learn how to do if you have the time | 05:39 |
| setite | implying no modifications | 05:39 |
| regeya | basic modification and recompiling of linux? | 05:39 |
| regeya | if the average linux user has to modify the code base to take advantage of it, game over, man, let's all use freebsd. | 05:39 |
| nuOpus | regeya: Ya .... I was just stating that if you have never done it before it is fun to learn | 05:39 |
| setite | see there is a stark difference between that statement and the reality of what you do | 05:39 |
| jivera | nicedreams: Exactly what features are you implying are built into the normal ubuntu/debian kernels that you recompile your kernel to leave out? | 05:39 |

| regeya | jivera, nicedreams: I'm still wondering that. I've seen nothing that implies that nicedreams is leaving anything out that isn't already compiled as modules. | 05:40 |

| regeya | nicedreams: if you don't have anything better to do than patronize someone who's probably been using linux twice as long as you, I'll just put you on /ignore. | 05:43 |
| crimsun | ...or you could use an ISP that handles ipv6 queries. Or you could drop --proto 41 | 05:43 |
| bkuebler | edit your resolv.conf to only have 1 line in it that points to your isp's dns server. | 05:43 |
| nuOpus | vladster: You got that? | 05:43 |
| setite | monolithic? | 05:43 |
| vladster | I like that | 05:43 |
| nuOpus | Your browsing should be faster | 05:43 |

| crimsun | nuOpus: ...so? | 05:44 |
| setite | iD killed domm3 linux project | 05:44 |
| vladster | That made a diff | 05:44 |
| bkuebler | When I stopped using my routers dns passthrough, it made a noticable difference. | 05:44 |
| vladster | tanks | 05:44 |
| nuOpus | nomasteryoda: You type about:config in the address bar | 05:44 |
| nomasteryoda | ok | 05:44 |
| nicedreams | setite: that sucks, been trying to figure how to make it work | 05:44 |
| nicedreams | quake3 halls ass compared to windows on my win partition | 05:44 |
| setite | how old is quake3 | 05:44 |
| nuOpus | crimson: web browsing for one thing is a little slower because firefox and other browsers will use ipv6 by default for resolution then fallback to ipv4 | 05:44 |
| nicedreams | a few years | 05:44 |
| nicedreams | but the mods are still tight | 05:45 |
| nuOpus | that is why some people complain about linux web browsing being too slow | 05:45 |
| setite | all i hear when it come sot linux games is quake quake quake | 05:45 |
| bkuebler | there are a few decent firefox tweak threads on mozillazine. | 05:45 |
| nicedreams | it's not quake that people like, it's the engine and the many mods that people make off the engine | 05:45 |
| nicedreams | i don't play quake3 | 05:45 |
| nicedreams | i play the mods | 05:45 |
| jivera | quake3's been out long enough that id should have GPL'd it. | 05:45 |
| nuOpus | if you have them disable ipv6 or disable ipv6 dns resolv in firefox then people that have complained of slow browsing are happy | 05:45 |
| nicedreams | jivera: lol | 05:45 |
| nicedreams | they gpl'd quake 2 | 05:45 |
| nicedreams | the engine at least | 05:45 |
| nuOpus | vladster: It was a big diff huh? | 05:45 |
| kebac | nicedreams: yeah, and they should gpl quake3 too | 05:45 |
| jivera | Yes, they gpl'd q1 and q2 after 5 years; q3 is 5 years old now too. | 05:46 |
| nicedreams | quake4 should be out really soon | 05:46 |
| Seabook | How do I install/configure a wireless network card? =/ | 05:46 |
| jivera | q3 should be gpl'd. | 05:46 |
| crimsun | nuOpus: funny, since fe80:: is link-local and never traverses the 'net | 05:46 |
| jivera | But I suppose they might be using proprietary physics libraries or something that would prevent them from it. | 05:46 |
| nuOpus | crimsun: it works | 05:46 |
| crimsun | nuOpus: I know | 05:46 |
| nicedreams | jivera: i hope not, i've heard alot of good things as far as linux support with quake4 | 05:46 |
| nicedreams | ID is trying to bring games to linux | 05:47 |
| nicedreams | which i'm all up for | 05:47 |
| vladster | Now I need to plug in the rest of K3B so I can do DVDs | 05:47 |
| crimsun | but removing ipv6 is a rather unwieldly form of "optimisation" | 05:47 |
| nuOpus | crimsun: Have had LOTS of people complain and about to ditch linux because browsing is too slow they say. I have them disable ipv6 and they are happy again | 05:47 |
| regeya | I still haven't heard what you're doing to your kernel that makes gaming massively better on your machine, nicedreams. | 05:47 |
| === regeya couldn't resist | ||
| nuOpus | crimsun: im not talking about optimization of the os | 05:47 |
| setite | wtf | 05:47 |
| setite | i gotta run chkdsk before i format | 05:47 |
| nuOpus | crimsun: I am talking of speeding up networking for people using internet connections that do not support any form of ipv6 | 05:47 |
| setite | i mean defrag | 05:47 |
| vladster | I only do it to the browser, games are left untiouched | 05:47 |
| setite | grrrr | 05:47 |
| setite | im not gonna get this installed tonight at this rate | 05:48 |
| regeya | 'unless you modify your kernel with a hex editor you can't be a linux gamer' | 05:48 |
| nicedreams | regeya: I don't know exactly which things in the kernel give me the boost. I just go in and take out everything that i don't need and put in what I do. I guess taking out is what does it, or the building of certian hardware in the kernel | 05:48 |
| === regeya comes up with the best Linux-on-the-desktop sales pitch EVAR | ||
| crimsun | nuOpus: the only thing that implies is that v6 routing is not configured correctly for them | 05:48 |
| nicedreams | regeya: nevermind, you obviously haven't tried gaming in linux. I even try to play battlefield in cedegra's winex | 05:49 |
| regeya | nicedreams: that's nice; could you be specific as I asked you, or are you still blowing smoke? | 05:49 |
| nuOpus | crimsun: Yes .... and disabling ipv6 is the easiest fix | 05:49 |
| regeya | nicedreams: what seems obvious to you is, unfortunately, wrong. | 05:49 |
| regeya | nicedreams: nice try, though. | 05:49 |
| techn9ne | man phpbb sucks | 05:49 |
| techn9ne | someone needs to fork it and fix it | 05:49 |
| nicedreams | so what's the point of modifying the linux kernel then | 05:49 |
| nicedreams | why do they even let you do it then | 05:49 |
| nuOpus | crimsun: he just asked how to speed up web browsing because he is new ... he probably cares not for v6 routing or standards. | 05:49 |
| nuOpus | so having people just disable v6 is best. | 05:50 |
| regeya | nicedreams: I'm asking you to describe what process you go through. I'd like it if you'd describe, in detail, what you do and why you do it. | 05:50 |
| nomasteryoda | so is there an easy way to script these changes into firefox? | 05:50 |
| nicedreams | omg, i just told you i don't know specifics. I don't change one thing, then recompile just to see what happend | 05:50 |
| regeya | nicedreams: instead, you choose to be insulting. Therefore it's obvious that you're a poseur, don't game in Linux, and in fact still use Win98SE. | 05:50 |
| nicedreams | i don't give a shit if you beleive me or not anyways | 05:51 |
| crimsun | guys, keep it civil, please. | 05:51 |
| regeya | nicedreams: again, a little proof is all I'd like. I'm interested and instead you decide to insult me. | 05:51 |
| nomasteryoda | yes, please | 05:51 |
| nuOpus | nomasteryoda: well .... not a good idea for the distro to disable the ipv6 since lots of people can make use of it | 05:51 |
| nicedreams | regeya: Nope...i use windows 95a...it's better than xp | 05:51 |
| nicedreams | fucking moron | 05:51 |
| jivera | nicedreams: Did you ever try one of the 686/k7/etc optimized kernels instead of the default 386 ones? | 05:51 |
| drspin | could someone help me with an *easy* keymap issue? | 05:51 |
| nuOpus | drspin: Ask the question | 05:51 |
| nicedreams | i use the 686 ubuntu kernel when I screw my kernel up | 05:51 |
| nomasteryoda | nuOpus, no i mean for some situations where i would want to do a mass install of firefox and setup thse settings for speed | 05:52 |
| regeya | nicedreams: not sharing your information goes against the spirit of Free Software. | 05:52 |
| nuOpus | oh | 05:52 |
| nomasteryoda | np | 05:52 |
| nuOpus | nomasteryoda: I havent looked into that man ... sorry I couldnt help | 05:52 |
| nicedreams | okay then, let me waste an hour of my time to try to see what i modified just to make you happy | 05:52 |
| nomasteryoda | thanks for that tip thou | 05:52 |
| nuOpus | maybe someone else in here has an answer for you? | 05:52 |
| drspin | I did and got ignored once before ;) but here goes :: I'm trying to run theguild but when I do it crashes. the logfile says that it can't find the keymap.default file... ??? | 05:52 |
| nuOpus | did it help you? | 05:52 |
| nomasteryoda | will help people want to move over | 05:52 |
| nomasteryoda | yes | 05:52 |
| nuOpus | nomasteryoda: did you do all 3? | 05:52 |
| nomasteryoda | yup | 05:53 |
| crimsun | nomasteryoda: you could customize a prefs.js and ship it with your modified package of 'mozilla-firefox' | 05:53 |
| nuOpus | nomasteryoda: disable ipv6, pipelining and max-pipeline ... ok | 05:53 |
| jivera | drspin: What makes you think it's looking for a system wide file rather than a 'theguild' specific file? | 05:53 |
| nuOpus | just dont change the max pipelining to 100 | 05:53 |
| nuOpus | LOL | 05:53 |
| nuOpus | I have seen some people suggest changing it to 100 ... not necessary unless you have a REALLY fast connection | 05:53 |
| nicedreams | anyways, I use linux to understand it. I tear this bitch apart to figure how how it ticks then I make it do things it doesn't want to do to see what happens | 05:53 |
| nomasteryoda | crimsun, sure ... that would work | 05:53 |
| regeya | nicedreams: really, it'll take that long? I'm surprised, because back when I first ran Q3A on a Linux box, I just installed it and it worked so well that I didn't do a darn thing otherwise. I had no idea I was using such a flawed system. Why not write it up as a HOWTO on ubuntuforums? it'd be interesting. | 05:54 |
| vladster | nomasteryoda, are there additional repositories that I can add to fill the gaps that I am trying to fill | 05:54 |
| regeya | I eagerly await your HOWTO~ | 05:54 |
| nuOpus | crimsun: didnt know that .... thanks for the tip | 05:54 |
| crimsun | nomasteryoda: or we could modify the existing ubuntu 'mozilla-firefox' package to use diversions to that your specific (system-wide) prefs.js could be chosen | 05:54 |
| drspin | jivera: the make install script for this game sucks ;) | 05:54 |
| crimsun | so that^ | 05:54 |
| jivera | drspin: That's not really something anyone here can help you with, unfortunately. | 05:54 |
| nuOpus | nomasteryoda: All you should have to do is get the firefox debs, unpack them ... change that file then re-pack it | 05:54 |
| jivera | You're better off looking for #theguild or wherever the developers hang out. | 05:54 |
| nicedreams | regeya: i just said i don't play quake3, and i use the mods which puts more usage on the quake engine... I'm tired of fucking aruing with you anyways. | 05:55 |
| drspin | jivera: yes, it is a guild specific file - and it's the 5th one I had to copy just to make it work :/ | 05:55 |
| nuOpus | well guys .... I must go satisfy the wife .. any other questions? | 05:55 |
| nuOpus | LOL | 05:55 |

| regeya | nicedreams: all I want to know is what you're doing; you won't even tell me if you build a monolithic kernel or not, and instead choose to be insulting. Why so defensive? Why do you hate the spirit of Free Software so much? :-( | 05:56 |
| nicedreams | regeya: if you don't see any reason to mod the kernel, then so be it. It's my opionion that I get more performance, so I think i do, then let me do it | 05:56 |
| nuOpus | chat with you all later! | 05:56 |
| vladster | who has fully plugged K3B with all the plugins? | 05:56 |

| regeya | oh dear. | 05:58 |
| nicedreams | why don't you write a book for me | 05:58 |
| jivera | zenwhen: Do 'sudo hdparm -I /dev/hda' and look for a line like "R/W multiple sector transfer: Max = N Current = 0" | 05:58 |
| regeya | nicedreams: do you know what a 'monolithic kernel' is? | 05:59 |
| nicedreams | it mean you don't use drivers/modules | 05:59 |
| nicedreams | it's all built in | 05:59 |
| regeya | THANK YOU! | 05:59 |
| regeya | a straightforward answer! | 05:59 |
| regeya | PRAISE ALLAH! | 05:59 |
| regeya | nicedreams: is that what you use? you seem to have a dislike of modules. | 05:59 |
| zenwhen | jivera, I dont see any such line. | 05:59 |
| jivera | zenwhen: It should be in the Capabilities section. | 06:00 |
| zenwhen | R/W multiple sector transfer: Max = 16 Current = ? | 06:00 |
| jivera | Okay, so do 'sudo hdparm -m 16 /dev/hda'. | 06:00 |
| regeya | nicedreams: on second thought, nevermind. It took this long to get one halfway-decent answer, and you seem determined to not share your knowledge of how to properly set up a kernel for gaming. I mark you as an enemy of all that is Good and Free. Hasta. | 06:01 |

| nicedreams | and again | 06:02 |
| nicedreams | and again | 06:02 |
| nuOpus | okay geez .... wife had to do "laundry" first! lol | 06:02 |
| nicedreams | with different options and stuff even if I know it's a bad thing, I try to see what happens | 06:02 |
| nuOpus | anyhoo are we still arguing of the same thing? | 06:02 |
| nicedreams | dunno | 06:03 |
| nicedreams | i can't write a novel of what i did for reg, so he thinks i'm a noob | 06:03 |
| nicedreams | which i could care less | 06:03 |
| nicedreams | you can think i'm a green alien for all i care | 06:03 |
| nuOpus | I think both points were made .... for lots of people .. re-compiling the kernel is an un-needed step, and for others it is necessary for learning the system and can really provide lots of options when it comes to cusomization and optimization | 06:04 |
| setite | you look purplish to me] | 06:04 |
| nuOpus | so ... can we move on? | 06:04 |
| jivera | nicedreams: He doesn't think you're a noob because of that, he thinks you're a noob because you're claiming a huge FPS improvement by randomly reconfiguring your kernel. | 06:04 |
| nicedreams | sounds good | 06:04 |

| crimsun | u: < nuOpus> just make sure that after you are done configuring webmin you type sudo passwd -l root to lock the root account again for security | 06:32 |

| xed | hi, I'm back. | 07:46 |
| xed | Does anyone know of any issues ubuntu has had with the Toshiba Satellite A70 (2.8GHz version) laptop? | 07:47 |
| xed | Why is it so quiet in here? | 07:48 |
| rockie | sorry no | 07:49 |
| jmob | xed: don't know off hand | 07:49 |
| jmob | xed: google is your friend, I'd look for general linux issues, not just ubuntu | 07:50 |
| xed | jmob: I checked google. No answer. | 07:50 |
| jmob | xed: mostly, you're going to have trouble with proper driver support | 07:50 |
| xed | I came in here earlier trying to get help with my issue.. | 07:50 |
| xed | jmob: I just can't seem to get it installed. | 07:50 |
| jmob | xed: so look up the inividual hardware in that laptop | 07:50 |
| jmob | xed: any reason why? | 07:50 |
| xed | its not the hardware issue | 07:50 |
| xed | The splash screen comes up. | 07:50 |
| xed | I press enter. | 07:50 |
| xed | It shows all this stuff ..loading ..ready.. whatever.. then my screen.. just goes black | 07:51 |
| xed | Maybe Ubuntu doesn't support widescreen? | 07:51 |
| jmob | xed: maybe look at the advanced options, turn off framebuffer | 07:51 |
| jmob | xed: if you're screen goes black most obvious culprit would be frame buffer | 07:52 |
| xed | =( | 07:54 |

| xed | jmob: Live CD works though. =\ | 07:59 |
| jmob | xed: did you try disabling frame buffer? | 08:00 |
| xed | Well I don't see how that affect it if Ubuntu LIVE CD works, but the installation doesn't work. | 08:01 |
| jmob | xed: what's the harm in trying? | 08:01 |
| xed | Because I don't know how to disable frame buffer in advanced? | 08:01 |
| xed | I don't even know how the advanced feature looks/works like. | 08:02 |
| jmob | xed: there might be something different between the live cd and the install cd | 08:02 |

| jmob | xed: add ``vga=normal'' to the boot parameters | 08:03 |
| jmob | xed: that'll disable frame buffer | 08:03 |
| xed | Oh | 08:04 |
| xed | so like.. I type in "linux vga=normal" | 08:04 |
| xed | ? | 08:04 |
| jmob | something like that | 08:04 |
| xed | But wait- what do i type in if I have a widescreen laptop, still the same thing? | 08:04 |
| jmob | same thing | 08:04 |

| crimsun | k7 | 08:09 |
| Agrajag | any of the three (386, 686, or k7) will work | 08:09 |
| Agrajag | but k7 would be best suited | 08:09 |

| drspin | heh - well sort of - it's for my girlfriend who is overseas... she's a little mad that I "waited till she left the country | 08:11 |
| crimsun | you appear to have missed the "directly to jail and do not pass GO" part | 08:11 |
| drspin | " to switch to linux | 08:11 |
| jmob | drspin: so you want to get it working in linux? | 08:12 |
| drspin | jmob - yes | 08:12 |
| drspin | it works... I think... I just don't know how to use it... | 08:12 |
| jmob | drspin: gnomemeeting is one way | 08:12 |
| drspin | it is recognized by hotplug | 08:12 |
| Seabook | I see several linux kernel image packages for K7. I know I don't need the SMP ones, but there remain a few. What should I choose? I'm totally confused. o_0 | 08:12 |
| jmob | Seabook: what ``serveral'' do you see? | 08:13 |
| jmob | Seabook: there should only be one for each kernel version | 08:13 |
| jmob | drspin: sudo apt-get install gnomemeeting | 08:13 |
| drspin | jmob: it's already isntalled :) and the cam works! | 08:14 |
| jmob | drspin: you can use netmeeting in windows to connect with your gf (assuming she has a windows computer where ever she is) | 08:15 |
| Seabook | jmob: linux-image-2.6-k7, linux-image-k7, and linux-image-2.6.8.1-3-k7... o_0 | 08:15 |
| jmob | Seabook: try first two are probably some kind of base packages, you want the one with a full version number in it | 08:16 |
| jmob | Seabook: the first has only a partial version number, the second doesn't have a version number | 08:16 |
| jmob | Seabook: so... you always want the package that looks like the last one | 08:16 |
| crimsun | to clarify, the first two are metapackages | 08:17 |
| crimsun | you are safe installing any of the three | 08:17 |
| Seabook | jmob: ya, just figured out that the third one depends on the first one and the first one depends on the second one. | 08:18 |
| Seabook | meh | 08:18 |
| jmob | crimsun: so.. linux-image-2.6-k7 drags in whatever is the current kernel? | 08:18 |
| crimsun | jmob: yep. It's updated periodically. | 08:18 |

| jmob | Seabook: yes | 08:20 |
| jmob | Seabook: why? | 08:20 |
| unperson | So, if you have a directory DIR, DIR/FOLDER is a subdirectory. What is the term for DIR/FOLDER/OTHERFOLDER? In other words, what's the term for all directories that are under DIR? Is it also subdirectory, or does that only refer to the first tier? | 08:21 |

| xed_ubuntu | I tried what you said with the 'vga=normal' | 08:22 |

| crimsun | drspin: I don't think Skype does. | 08:23 |
| GoneBoB | it interoperates with netmeeting | 08:23 |
| GoneBoB | skype is only VoIP | 08:23 |

| === housetier [~housetier@dsl-084-056-147-035.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| xed_ubuntu | Well, I get to the splashscreen where I just type in 'linux' enter, but then you told me to try 'linux vga=normal' and then press enter.. and then all this stuff comes up... | 08:25 |
| xed_ubuntu | It loads something or the other...some text and whatnot.. | 08:25 |
| xed_ubuntu | and then it just goes blank | 08:25 |
| xed_ubuntu | I know, its not very descriptive | 08:26 |
| jmob | xed_ubuntu: use the live cd to install ubuntu then | 08:26 |
| xed_ubuntu | But ... I don't really know whatelse to say.. it goes pretty fast. | 08:26 |
| xed_ubuntu | How do I go about doing that? | 08:26 |
| xed_ubuntu | Plus, I seem to have an issue.. | 08:27 |
| xed_ubuntu | Seems my touchpad doesn't work. | 08:27 |
| xed_ubuntu | Only my USB ball mouse is working =( | 08:27 |
| xed_ubuntu | I'm pretty sure THIS is definitely a common issue.. | 08:27 |
| jmob | xed_ubuntu: linux on laptops is pita | 08:27 |
| xed_ubuntu | What does that mean? | 08:27 |
| GoneBoB | pain in the arse | 08:28 |
| xed_ubuntu | Oh... | 08:28 |
| xed_ubuntu | Well, I do want it on my laptop.. mainly because my desktop sucks a lot.. | 08:28 |
| xed_ubuntu | ..and the fact I like how smooth ubuntu seems to run, even on live cd.. | 08:28 |
| jmob | xed_ubuntu: usually something doesn't work, and usually you have to devote some time to figuring out how to fix it, and usually it involves some linux/gnu savvy | 08:28 |
| xed_ubuntu | Well, how would I go about figuring this out. | 08:29 |
| xed_ubuntu | ...? | 08:29 |

| jmob | xed_ubuntu: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/InstallFromKnoppixHowto | 08:29 |
| jmob | xed_ubuntu: you can try that, it should work the same for a ubuntu, or gnoppix live cd | 08:30 |
| crimsun | xed_ubuntu: is psmouse loaded? | 08:30 |
| xed_ubuntu | what do you mean crimsun? | 08:30 |
| jmob | crimsun: run ``lsmod'' on a console, see if ``psmouse'' show up in the list | 08:31 |
| xed_ubuntu | (I'm very new to linux, sorry if I'm not giving the right responses) | 08:31 |

| jmob | xed_ubuntu: lsmod tells what kernel modules are loaded, such as the module that'd add the functionality to the kernel that'd allow it to use your touchpad. | 08:33 |
| xed_ubuntu | jmob: no psmouse in list. | 08:33 |
| crimsun | xed_ubuntu: sudo modprobe psmouse | 08:33 |
| jmob | xed_ubuntu: try ``sudo modprobe psmouse'' | 08:33 |

| crimsun | xed_ubuntu: warty (NOT the live cd, correct)? | 08:36 |
| xed_ubuntu | Not sure what warty means, but yes, I am on the live CD | 08:37 |
| crimsun | ok, I can't speak for the live cd, but it appears you must actually install Warty to get that functionality. | 08:37 |
| xed_ubuntu | Warty? | 08:38 |
| xed_ubuntu | ...err.. | 08:38 |
| crimsun | quite a few notes on the wiki state you need the 'psmouse' kernel module loaded to use the touchpad. | 08:38 |
| crimsun | warty is the stable release codename. | 08:38 |
| xed_ubuntu | crimsun, well.. you see, I actually got this from a friend who ordered it and got it in the mail ... approximatley a week or so ago... | 08:38 |

| jmob | neighborlee: wine is too painful to be worthwhile | 08:41 |
| crimsun | xed_ubuntu: no, you would download that | 08:41 |
| neighborlee | jmob, haha well essentially I dont disagree but..;-)lol | 08:41 |
| crimsun | xed_ubuntu: burn that .iso image to a cd-r | 08:41 |
| crimsun | xed_ubuntu: then boot from the cd-r and install warty | 08:41 |
| jmob | xed_ubuntu: you know how to use .torrents right? | 08:41 |
| crimsun | xed_ubuntu: presuming, of course, you have at least 2 GB free HD space | 08:42 |

| Seabook | I would change the root password, then the new password would work for a while and the password is reverted to the old one after a few minutes. | 08:48 |
| Seabook | I change it in the "Users and Groups" thingy. | 08:49 |
| crimsun | xed_ubuntulive: laptop or desktop? | 08:49 |
| xed_ubuntulive | Laptop | 08:49 |

| xed_ubuntulive | Toshiba Satellite A70. | 08:50 |

| crimsun | xed_ubuntulive: have you booted with `linux vga=771' ... ? | 08:51 |
| Seabook | xed_ubuntulive: Go! Toshiba, Go! | 08:51 |
| xed_ubuntulive | ...err..no I haven't. | 08:51 |
| jmob | crimsun: I told him to try vga=normal | 08:51 |
| xed_ubuntulive | Seabook, seemed like a good choice with the money I had and since I really haven't heard or read any thing bad about it.. I went with it.. | 08:52 |
| xed_ubuntulive | crimsun, I tried what jmob told me. | 08:52 |
| xed_ubuntulive | Should I try what you said? | 08:52 |
| Seabook | I have an A70 too. :D | 08:52 |
| xed_ubuntulive | 2.8GHz? | 08:52 |
| Seabook | ya | 08:52 |
| xed_ubuntulive | Probably the same one. | 08:52 |
| Seabook | I don't think mine is HT though. | 08:53 |
| xed_ubuntulive | 40GB HDD, 512DDR RAM...? | 08:53 |
| Seabook | ya | 08:53 |
| xed_ubuntulive | I'm pretty sure it is.. I didn't know mine was HT.. nor did Futureshop, but when they found out.. heh.. they jacked up the price. (AFTER I bought it.. heh) | 08:53 |
| crimsun | Seabook: it's running warty? if so, did you do anything to get the install working? | 08:53 |
| === neighborlee loves that circle of friends login <G> | ||
| xed_ubuntulive | is it 15.4 widescreen? | 08:53 |
| Seabook | crimsun: heh, I'm not installing warty on my toshiba | 08:54 |
| Seabook | xed: ya | 08:54 |
| xed_ubuntulive | Why not? | 08:54 |
| xed_ubuntulive | I want it on my laptop. =( | 08:54 |
| xed_ubuntulive | the install cd does some weird things.. =( | 08:54 |
| Seabook | xed, does your A70 mention HT on the Intel Inside sticker? | 08:54 |
| xed_ubuntulive | haha, see! Thats what I thought too Seabook! But you're wrong! | 08:54 |
| xed_ubuntulive | Check your BIOS | 08:54 |
| xed_ubuntulive | It'll say "HT Enabled" | 08:55 |
| crimsun | xed_ubuntulive: two options: 1) vga=771 (or) 2) video=vga:off | 08:55 |
| xed_ubuntulive | Plus any game, program, whatever.. will tell you .. you have 2 processors running. | 08:55 |
| Seabook | gonna check with cpuz, hold on | 08:55 |
| xed_ubuntulive | crimsun, so .. I type in 'linux vga=771' or 'linux video=vga:off' and then press enter, yes? | 08:56 |
| crimsun | xed_ubuntulive: yup | 08:56 |
| xed_ubuntulive | alright, I better write this down, my short term memory sucks. | 08:57 |
| xed_ubuntulive | When I get this installed my other questions will probably be involving getting the sound card and the video files working.. | 08:57 |
| crimsun | xed_ubuntulive: oh, in the second case, make that 'linux video=vga:off video=vesa:off' | 08:57 |
| Seabook | xed: I'd be damned... | 08:57 |
| xed_ubuntulive | Seabook, was i right or was i right? | 08:58 |
| xed_ubuntulive | heh | 08:58 |
| Seabook | xed: I thought only the motherboard was supporting HT, but the CPU was not. | 08:58 |
| Seabook | so I disabled HT in the BIOS | 08:58 |
| Seabook | let me restart and enable it again. | 08:58 |
| xed_ubuntulive | crimsun: so its.. 'linux video=vga:off video=vesa:off' <enter> for the second case? | 09:00 |
| xed_ubuntulive | ...guess so? | 09:01 |
| crimsun | yes | 09:01 |
| xed_ubuntulive | alright, then | 09:02 |

| nicedreams | If I install a package from source under debian/ubuntu, is there a way to have it be organized and tracked with apt? | 09:31 |
| crimsun | no | 09:32 |
| crimsun | that's why it's recommended you use packages or build from deb-src | 09:32 |
| nicedreams | deb-src? how do i do that? | 09:33 |
| nicedreams | is there a site i can learn that from? | 09:33 |
| spikeb | hmm | 09:34 |
| spikeb | there might be | 09:34 |
| crimsun | nicedreams: what program did you compile and install from source? | 09:35 |
| === miggumike [~Mike@ool-44c0725d.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| nicedreams | haven't really looked recently. I've ran into a few in the past. I want to know how in case I need to again | 09:36 |
| nicedreams | i've ran into a few programs though | 09:36 |
| crimsun | ... | 09:37 |
| crimsun | um, you don't know what programs you compiled yourself? | 09:37 |
| crimsun | that makes it difficult to help you locate source | 09:37 |
| nicedreams | no..i haven't done that yet in this install | 09:37 |
| spikeb | heh | 09:37 |
| nicedreams | that's why i'm asking | 09:37 |
| nicedreams | :) | 09:38 |
| crimsun | 'checkinstall' is a rudimentary step | 09:38 |
| crimsun | but-- | 09:38 |
| === ivan_ [~ivan@222.Red-83-42-231.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | it's first best to check if ubuntu offers those wanted packages before you run off, download the source, and compile it yourself | 09:38 |
| nicedreams | i do that. i always try to get one from a repository first | 09:39 |
| nicedreams | i like to play with a lot of software to get fimiar with things and some software isn't offered in the repositories or deb packages | 09:39 |
| nicedreams | oh yea | 09:39 |
| nicedreams | another thing | 09:39 |
| nicedreams | if i install a deb package, how is it tracked or whatever? Does apt have reference to it since it's a deb? | 09:40 |
| === mantas [~mantas@193.219.181.177] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | nicedreams: if you install a deb, it's registered with dpkg | 09:41 |
| crimsun | nicedreams: dpkg provides lots of stats about such packages | 09:41 |
| crimsun | (the entire drive behind using a package manager) | 09:41 |
| nicedreams | k...so i just use dpkg for that then. and apt is just for packages from repositories? I was thinking it would do both, but that makes sense if not | 09:42 |

| crimsun | depends on when you ordered them | 09:47 |
| crimsun | how many did you order? | 09:47 |
| ferris | about a month ago | 09:47 |
| ferris | 200 | 09:47 |
| crimsun | 200?! | 09:47 |
| crimsun | um | 09:48 |
| nicedreams | about 2 months | 09:48 |
| ferris | 100 for pc | 09:48 |
| ferris | and 100 for 64s | 09:48 |
| nicedreams | i'm waiting for 21 of them | 09:48 |
| ferris | ok | 09:48 |

| === Gwildor [~gwildor@adsl-68-73-55-198.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | 100 is a lot of CDs to request | 09:48 |
| ferris | it is the default | 09:48 |
| ferris | i think they are packaged in 100s | 09:49 |
| crimsun | that's a -lot- of CDs | 09:49 |
| Gwildor | 100 is the default??? | 09:49 |
| Gwildor | it was like 10 when i ordered | 09:49 |
| nicedreams | i never saw 100 for a default | 09:49 |
| ferris | I build pc's i want to put it on the systems | 09:50 |
| === fragment notes foomatic margins suck | ||
| fragment | I just did some PPD hacking to force grayscale & get decent margins with hpijs | 09:51 |
| crimsun | I'd say if you ordered them a month ago -- and with that large an order -- you're probably looking at mid-February | 09:51 |
| crimsun | but that's a wild conjecture on my part | 09:51 |
| crimsun | and I do emphasize wild | 09:51 |
| fragment | The default CUPS margins give a .5 inch bottom margin with HP inkjets. Foomatic gives 2/3 inch. | 09:52 |
| ferris | hopefully not that long crimsun, but atleast i have some burned already | 09:52 |

| crimsun | yes, like you'd edit a term paper | 10:13 |

| crimsun | oh good. | 11:26 |

| crimsun | you need a free irq for your sound chipset, which it's not getting | 11:27 |
| xed | crimsun: ...that means...? | 11:27 |
| crimsun | so we're going to steal it from the printer port by disabling it in the bios. | 11:27 |

| xed | You'd think I'd learn, eh? | 11:48 |
| jmob | xed: maybe, I do the same thing occasionally, but it's usually worse for me. | 11:48 |
| jmob | xed: since I apparently need more sleep than most people | 11:48 |
| xed | That.. can't be good. | 11:49 |
| xed | jmob: You know in windows how you install something? | 11:49 |
| xed | how do you go about doing this in ..ubuntu.. or generally in linux? | 11:49 |
| jmob | xed: I feel like I absorb much less when I'm lacking sleep. | 11:49 |
| jmob | xed: generally everything is done through your package manager. | 11:50 |
| jmob | xed: since your distrobution should package all software for you. | 11:50 |
| xed | but what about this 'ALSA' | 11:51 |
| xed | ? | 11:51 |
| jmob | xed: there's not as much of a concept of going to websites and downloading stuff, although it's still there, for some things that you might want that you're distrobution doesn't package for you. | 11:51 |
| jmob | xed: you already have alsa, alsa is the ``advanced linux sound arcitecture'', it's part of the linux kernel. | 11:51 |
| jmob | xed: any module prefixed with ``snd'' is an alsa module | 11:51 |
| xed | ... | 11:52 |
| xed | I think it just might be a codec issue... | 11:52 |
| jmob | xed: Why? | 11:52 |
| jmob | xed: I think we've establish that linux isn't seeing your sound card properly for some reason. | 11:53 |
| jmob | xed: it initially detects it, but it doesn't show up anywhere in any of the subsystems that it should. | 11:53 |
| jmob | xed: post your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to the pasetbin | 11:53 |

| xed | jmob: http://fzr.cc/mem/Fuzedx/Screenshot.png | 11:53 |
| xed | jmob: bash: /boot/grub/menu.lst: Permission denied | 11:54 |
| jmob | xed: that could be another problem, but given previous information, the previously made conclusions would precede that problem. | 11:55 |

| jmob | xed: you need to be root to read it | 11:55 |

| xed | Was.. that sarcasm? | 12:09 |
| jmob | xed: no I was worried I screwed up your grub config... :) | 12:09 |

| xed | .. oh shit | 12:10 |
| VirtualDarKness | and then I get many errors from kernel and reiserfs related stuff | 12:10 |
| xed | What does the grub config exactly do? | 12:10 |
| jmob | VirtualDarKness: sounds like faulty HD | 12:10 |
| VirtualDarKness | I already done te powermax (it is a maxtor) quick test and it passed it | 12:10 |
| xed | ... | 12:10 |
| xed | Ahoyhoy? | 12:10 |
| VirtualDarKness | jmob, yes to me too but the hard disk has less than 6 month :P | 12:11 |

| VirtualDarKness | jmob, another strange things is that is seems to happen only with ubuntu, can it be because of the position of the partition in the disk? | 12:13 |

| jessica_ | I was looking at the openoffice-quickstart function, and saw a gnome applet for it. If I make a quickstarter manually, with 'ooffice -applet -quickstart' an invisible instance of the program is spawned, so that later starts will be faster... But the quickstarter quits directly when the real visible openoffice is exited! Isn't that weird? | 02:46 |

| Halo | I need a hand with my wireless driver | 05:26 |
| Halo | I've got it working fine with ndiswrapper, I followed the wiki entry on it | 05:26 |
| Halo | Trouble is, even if I set it to auto on, either by hand editing the config file, or using gnome, it doesn't work on boot | 05:26 |
| Halo | if I modprobe -r ndiswrapper and then modprobe ndiswrapper it will work again | 05:27 |
| bob2 | is ndiswrapper in /etc/modules? | 05:27 |
| Halo | So my question is, how can I add those into the network start script so it will work on boot every time? | 05:27 |
| Halo | I don't know... I'm booted into my windows partition and can't check at the moment | 05:27 |
| Sacred | mm, would you consider as safe an upgrade to hoary on the present state ? | 05:28 |
| wezzer | hey, I installed fglrx-control, which command launches it? | 05:28 |
| Halo | I just installed yesterday, I don't have much to lose | 05:28 |

| HaloGray | sladen: wouldn't ctrl+c cancel the wireless attempt too? | 07:22 |
| sladen | HaloGray: and then edit /etc/network/interfaces and set noauto | 07:22 |
| HaloGray | I want them both to be auto... I just don't want them to retry so many times | 07:22 |

| sensebend | someone correct me if that isn't the right location... | 07:22 |
| HaloGray | sensebend, are you talking to me? | 07:23 |
| prox2far | mundy: maybe Warty messed the ATI driver and you have to get a new one with apt get | 07:23 |

| HaloGray | Ubuntu | 07:44 |
| Ribs | HaloGray, Ubuntu is stable now | 07:44 |

| Ribs | erm, no | 07:44 |

| HaloGray | my laptop gets about as hot as windows + games | 07:45 |

| === KreacH stopt een lantaarnpaal in je kont | ||
| HaloGray | This is a laptop, so it's the mobility card | 07:46 |
| sensebend | Hoary should be released in April sometime | 07:46 |
| HaloGray | if it's detecting the desktop card... could it be soft modding the card and heating it up? | 07:46 |
| kezz | HaloGray, could it be the fan control? | 07:46 |
| tsw | HaloGray: check that acpi is running, it controls fans also | 07:46 |
| HaloGray | How would I check that? | 07:46 |
| HaloGray | I know a bit, but I'm still a novice here :( | 07:47 |
| Marudubshinki | ditto | 07:47 |
| HaloGray | top? | 07:47 |
| Marudubshinki | what is acpi anyway? | 07:47 |
| tsw | command acpi should give some information | 07:47 |
| Ribs | HaloGray, Mine does that with Ubuntu as well | 07:47 |
| tsw | and acpi --verbose some more | 07:47 |
| Ribs | didn't do it on Gentoo or Windows | 07:47 |
| Ribs | so I guess it's a Ubuntu thing | 07:47 |
| HaloGray | Ubuntu is the first nix distro I've had on this laptop | 07:48 |
| HaloGray | but I didn't get any heat out of arch and my old thinkpad | 07:48 |
| HaloGray | but I was using fluxbox, so it didn't have much video info to deal with at all | 07:48 |
| tsw | my ibm thinkpad didnt want to enable acpi.. said something about too old bios | 07:48 |
| KreacH | i've gotten a free cd of fedora :S | 07:48 |
| HaloGray | acpi --verbose | 07:48 |
| HaloGray | Thermal 1: ok, 53.0 degrees C | 07:48 |
| HaloGray | AC Adapter 1: on-line | 07:48 |
| HaloGray | That's not a whole lot of info :-/ | 07:49 |
| tvon | tsw: what thinkpad? | 07:49 |
| HaloGray | I'm more worried about the video card's heat, not the processor | 07:49 |
| tsw | tvon: 390X | 07:49 |
| === tvon nods | ||
| Marudubshinki | no charging data, halo? | 07:49 |
| tvon | I know nothing about that :-D | 07:49 |
| tsw | HaloGray: but it seems that acpi is running | 07:49 |
| tsw | tvon: acpi=force (or something like that fixed it) | 07:49 |
| HaloGray | Marudubshinki, it's charged | 07:50 |
| tvon | tsw: ah | 07:50 |
| HaloGray | lemme see what happens when I unplug it | 07:50 |
| tvon | Battery 1: charging, 66%, 00:23:26 until charged | 07:50 |
| tsw | tvon: I tried the ibm-acpi packages but couldnt get it working | 07:50 |
| tvon | tis what I have | 07:50 |
| HaloGray | just says offline lol | 07:50 |
| HaloGray | doesn't give me any info | 07:50 |
| tvon | I dont think the charging data shows up when its fully charged | 07:50 |
| tvon | oh, maybe not | 07:50 |
| HaloGray | oh wait | 07:50 |
| tvon | yeah, you don't have battery info | 07:50 |
| tsw | HaloGray: you can also get info with more /proc/acpi/* | 07:50 |
| tvon | try modprobing battery | 07:50 |
| HaloGray | acpi --verbose | 07:50 |
| HaloGray | Battery 1: discharging, 103%, 03:54:22 remaining | 07:50 |
| HaloGray | Thermal 1: ok, 52.0 degrees C | 07:50 |
| HaloGray | AC Adapter 1: off-line | 07:50 |
| tvon | when unplugged I get discharging | 07:51 |
| tvon | heh | 07:51 |
| tsw | 103% :) | 07:51 |
| tvon | Battery 1: discharging, 67%, charging at zero rate - will never fully charge. | 07:51 |
| tvon | peculiar to point that out when not plugged in | 07:51 |
| tsw | but acpi on linux gives fine info on /proc/acpi/BAT0/info (and others) | 07:51 |
| Marudubshinki | hmm... acpi says I do not have any thermal device. Is that a software glitch? | 07:51 |
| HaloGray | could be that you don't have any thermal devices | 07:52 |
| HaloGray | does your bios report temps at all? | 07:52 |
| Marudubshinki | mean to say no support | 07:52 |

| HaloGray | I'm extra paranoid about it... 2 weeks after I got it the video card blew out | 07:53 |
| HaloGray | I wasn't doing much special with it, just windows + dawn of war | 07:53 |
| HaloGray | I even had DoW on low settings | 07:54 |

| HaloGray | nothing for underclocking there | 07:54 |
| HaloGray | otherwise I would | 07:54 |

| sir_latin | right now I'm running it on vmware to check it out | 08:00 |

| prox2far | mar...: I'm not running Ubuntu now and can't quite remember how you ad them there's an instruction on the ubuntu site | 08:01 |
| tsw | HaloGray: it could be that it doesnt have proper acceleration yet | 08:02 |

| grepper | what is the full command you are using ? | 08:42 |
| sir_latin | ArCHoNKoG: how? I tried to check out with the package system, and apt-get. But they are not there. does it mean I have to do this manually and make it eventually unstable? | 08:43 |

| grepper | jonc, do you have anything else mounted using the loop device ? | 08:46 |
| jonc | Was just checking on that. | 08:47 |
| jonc | Doesn't look like it, but the "must specify filesystem type" warning goes away if I give it a specific loopback device to use. | 08:47 |
| jonc | Odd. | 08:48 |
| jonc | Well, depending on which loopback device I give it, anyhow. | 08:48 |
| grepper | that makes sense | 08:48 |
| jonc | Devices 0 and 1 produce no warning, but 2 complains that I need to give it a filesystem type. | 08:48 |
| jonc | Yeah? | 08:48 |

| Guardiann | thanks | 09:34 |
| Guardiann | what makes this distro so fast | 09:34 |

| kezz | or just ./package.bin in the relevant folder | 09:35 |
| jonc | Guardian -- it's fast because it's made of technology. | 09:35 |

| Doomahmmer | when I run /usr/bin/xmms it says "can't open libgtk-1.2.so.0" | 11:22 |
| Doomahmmer | i was trying to because i didn't know that Ubuntu had a package manager | 11:22 |

| Doomahmmer | :D | 11:26 |

| fLoW | jes i do but it's turned of in bios | 11:33 |
