| sensebend | Riddell, calling KDE both free software and open source is kinda redundunt don't you think? | 12:45 |
| sensebend | why not just call it FOSS or Free software? | 12:45 |
| Riddell | smallgeeek: anyone who says otherwise is wrong | 12:45 |
| mroth | yeah, I could do that, but I want to test the "out of box" using packages so I can help get it working that way before release | 12:46 |
| BillyAnachronism | does anyone have any experience installing ppc ubuntu here? I'm at a loss what to do | 12:46 |
| randabis | well I like gentoo, except for compile times...I'd still use it if not for that | 12:46 |
| bigbubba | ok thanks again guys, will be back i'm sure with more questions in the future :) | 12:46 |
| mchasard | hi whats this new alpha version | 12:46 |
| zAo^ | lavigj, how can I more agree? I use AIX and debian (sid) so? :) | 12:46 |
| trey3 | smallgeeek: its free... has been since 2000 or so... however its owned by the same parent company that owns SCO... so some are "protesting" :/ | 12:46 |
| trey3 | kinda lame really, but ok | 12:46 |
| randabis | mroth oic | 12:46 |

| mchasard | please ...is there some tools to save configuration for a live cd use | 12:47 |
| neighborlee | the kde/gnome difference is obvious in that kde utilizes qt which isn't entirely free....for cooporate thats a big issue | 12:47 |
| zAo^ | lavigj, dont :) Welcome I say :) | 12:47 |
| Riddell | neighborlee: qt is 100% Free Software | 12:48 |
| BillyAnachronism | jdub, I've done that.. Its just it stops installing | 12:48 |
| neighborlee | no it is not | 12:48 |
| jdub | neighborlee: Qt is Free Software. do *not* make that mistake please. | 12:48 |
| neighborlee | it is not..at least it did not 'used to be' | 12:48 |
| trey3 | jdub: hey :) | 12:48 |
| BillyAnachronism | jdub, I've reburnt, redownloaded about 50 times and the same things happen.. I've also changed the cdrom | 12:48 |
| Riddell | neighborlee: infact it's under the GPL so unlike Gnome it guarantees your freedom | 12:48 |
| neighborlee | can you use it for windows and not pay a fee ??? | 12:48 |
| trey3 | jdub: shouldn't you be busy or something? :P | 12:48 |
| Riddell | s/gnome/gtk/ | 12:48 |
| jdub | neighborlee: the released Qt code is GPL. | 12:48 |
| jdub | neighborlee: the released code doesn't include windows bits. | 12:48 |
| jdub | neighborlee: if you want to port it, that's up to you. | 12:49 |
| neighborlee | faik to code qt for windows requires a 'license' which isn't cheap | 12:49 |

| Riddell | trey3: LGPL does not guarantee your freedom, which is why the free software foundation recommends against it | 12:49 |

| sensebend | agreed Riddell | 12:50 |
| neighborlee | jdub, and gtk requires none of that..hence why gnome is so popular and why I use it specifically | 12:50 |
| jdub | Riddell: it guarantees the freedom of the GTK+ and GNOME platform library code. this is a very silly point to argue, dude. | 12:50 |
| Vantage | can you install ubuntu from the warty live cd? if so, how? | 12:50 |
| trey3 | Riddell: only difference between lgpl and gpl is that lgpl allows people to write applications that use that toolkit, and keep that non-free... | 12:50 |
| jdub | Vantage: no | 12:50 |
| sensebend | Vantage, no you cannot | 12:50 |

| sensebend | this is offtopic though | 12:51 |
| jdub | this is not a useful argument for this channel | 12:51 |
| ogra | absolutely offtopic :) | 12:51 |
| jdub | and most kde and gnome developers would consider you silly for arguing it | 12:51 |
| trey3 | sensebend: its not... but certainly not more restrictive either... just allows people to choose a license they like and still use the toolkit... | 12:51 |

| mchasard | anyone could talk about the new alpha ubuntu version ? | 12:52 |

| randabis | Wulf_ Computer --> System Configuration --> Network | 02:22 |
| setite | you mean if this si not my fault right... due to me being stupid again | 02:22 |
| setite | nah i learned me lesson last time | 02:22 |
| randabis | unless you want a text mode command | 02:22 |
| setite | i havent touched it | 02:22 |
| nwp_ | apt-get reinstall --install xserver-xfree86 might be worth a try. assuming it's the same package as on debian | 02:22 |
| ngh | ogra: is there a way of editing the resolutions? the native for my lap is 1280 * 800 but when choosing it doesnt exist | 02:22 |
| ogra | setite: there is a checksum mechanism that prevents every tool from changing the config if you editet it | 02:22 |
| setite | it was running fine... when i wake up... its not running anymore because of the power outage and now it cant boot | 02:22 |
| setite | 1280x800! | 02:22 |
| setite | wtf | 02:22 |

| randabis | I'm still pretty new to ubuntu/debian | 02:23 |

| Wulf_ | randabis: I don't use ubuntu at all :) | 02:24 |

| luc1f3r | randabis: I have a folder w/ files in it, and it's in the folder to which I want my files coppied | 02:24 |
| nwp_ | yup. should get text console (again, assuming things are set up in the usual way) | 02:24 |
| setite | and what do i do from ther | 02:24 |
| setite | does the installer have a rescue/repair feature | 02:25 |
| ogra | ngh: look there for specific help...probably something for you is in it: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops | 02:25 |

| jintonic | my ati radeon 9200 was ok to install, not autodetected by ubuntu tho | 02:57 |
| Wulf_ | for WoW you won't need cedega imvho as WoW supports opengl | 02:57 |
| mxpxpod | does scrolling horizontally work in X? | 02:57 |
| ZzeCoOl | Wulf_: 3.14.6 must work with 2.6.10 | 02:57 |
| Wulf_ | ZzeCoOl: it does not | 02:57 |
| Randabis | ati just needs to write better linux drivers period | 02:58 |
| aToaster | so. can you just pop the cd in and install it on linux? don't really know how that works | 02:58 |

| Wulf_ | aToaster: cedega is wine + directx emulation | 02:59 |
| HrdwrBoB | erm | 03:00 |
| aToaster | ic | 03:00 |
| HrdwrBoB | not quite that simple | 03:00 |
| HrdwrBoB | wine is used to run windows programs | 03:00 |
| HrdwrBoB | it runs some games | 03:00 |
| ZzeCoOl | Wulf_: do u use cedega? | 03:00 |
| HrdwrBoB | cedega is a commercial program | 03:00 |
| HrdwrBoB | built to run games | 03:00 |
| HrdwrBoB | based on wine | 03:00 |
| Wulf_ | HrdwrBoB: I played starcraft several years ago with wine | 03:01 |
| HrdwrBoB | yes | 03:01 |
| HrdwrBoB | I play WoW currently with cedega | 03:01 |
| jintonic | hrm... when i do fglrxinfo it says Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 03:01 |
| aToaster | so cedega would emulate more efficiently than wine? | 03:01 |
| broodster | does divx support ubuntu? | 03:01 |
| lavigj | has anyone had a problem with wifi along the lines of "mgmt tx queue is stil full"? | 03:01 |
| aToaster | what video card do you have HrdwrBoB? | 03:01 |
| Wulf_ | HrdwrBoB: I live in europe, still waiting for `final beta' | 03:01 |
| HrdwrBoB | Nvidia FX5700 | 03:01 |
| ZzeCoOl | guys do you have cedega with default configuration? | 03:01 |
| lavigj | anyone? please? | 03:02 |
| Wulf_ | ZzeCoOl: used it to play diablo 2 | 03:02 |
| HrdwrBoB | no cedega is a commercial product | 03:02 |
| broodster | cedega doesnt support amd 64 =[ | 03:02 |
| Wulf_ | but did not try `wine diablo2.exe -opengl' | 03:02 |
| aToaster | do you use cosmos ui HrdwrBoB? | 03:02 |
| broodster | and amd 64 and ati radeon and ubuntu dont mix o_O | 03:02 |
| aToaster | or can you use cosmos is the question | 03:02 |
| Wulf_ | cosmos ui should be forbidden, because of this thottbot issue | 03:02 |
| HrdwrBoB | aToaster: no, I tried to access their website the other day and it was down | 03:02 |
| aToaster | what thottbot issue? | 03:03 |
| Randabis | you can compile cedega from cvs for free | 03:03 |
| ZzeCoOl | HrdwrBoB: do you use the default cedega configuration.....ordid you edit something? | 03:03 |

| === BockBilbo [~BockBilbo@85.84.43.70] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| aToaster | Wulf_, ah right, but I find that it's become really helpful for me, having the extra menu bar makes things so much easier | 03:04 |
| HrdwrBoB | point2play is a front end for cedega | 03:04 |
| Randabis | point2play is the program that allows you to easily install games | 03:04 |
| Randabis | or a frontend | 03:04 |
| ZzeCoOl | ok | 03:04 |
| Randabis | like I said, there's a free alternative to it called grapevine | 03:04 |
| ZzeCoOl | the only problem with cedega is the stupid fonts that they use | 03:04 |
| jintonic | hrm, is there any way to get gnome to not do that crap where it opens a new window for every folder? | 03:04 |

| Randabis | yess | 03:06 |

| gwildor | hi wulf_, i was really just testing....thnx :) | 03:07 |
| broodster | does anyone know if there's ati drivers for amd 64 yet? with ubuntu that is | 03:07 |
| Randabis | Wulf_ maybe not, NVIDIA's had troubles too, but someone kindly provided a script that fixes the problem | 03:07 |
| Randabis | same with their nforce drivers | 03:08 |
| aToaster | HrdwrBoB, hrmm I guess, I though regular users should be seperated from the root | 03:08 |
| HrdwrBoB | aToaster: they are | 03:08 |
| Wulf_ | gwildor: test succeeded. you made to go online with your machine, connect to irc and write some useless messages :-) | 03:08 |
| HrdwrBoB | aToaster: if you create another user it won't be able to be root | 03:08 |
| HrdwrBoB | aToaster: and only you know your password | 03:08 |
| HrdwrBoB | so it's no less secure than if only you knew your root password | 03:08 |
| aToaster | HrdwrBoB, ah hrmm, alright, guess I'm just too used to having two seperate pass's | 03:09 |

| |Arioch| | One quick question... how can I exit Gnome without rebooting? Logout just reboots. | 04:43 |
| doubletwist | I got a modem working in ubuntu once. But I forgot how I did it, so I'm no good. :) | 04:43 |
| Locutus1976 | Is there any way to have Gaim startup automatically when you log into gnome? | 04:43 |

| === zenrox streaks acroos the network | ||
| tritium | Locutus1976, save your session when you log out. Make sure gaim is running. | 04:43 |
| Linuxnoob | so it's either 56k or nothing | 04:43 |
| Locutus1976 | Tritium: Thank you. | 04:44 |
| Linuxnoob | which means get dialup working with ubuntu or uninstall and keep xp | 04:44 |

| doubletwist | I had gotten a new house in a new neighborhood, without broadband. Luckily it only took them 2 months to get both cable and dsl. | 04:44 |
| usual | tritium, no, apt-get | 04:44 |
| oak | locutus, you can also go to desktop preferences, sessions | 04:44 |
| oak | and add a startup program | 04:44 |
| Linuxnoob | I've been waiting over 2 years for dsl or cable | 04:44 |
| doubletwist | That so sucks. | 04:45 |

| Guardiann | yep i like it | 05:47 |
| idge | ok...i should "Add New Printer" or something like that? | 05:47 |
| jintonic | since i don't have pcie it causes an error... so why the hell does ubuntu check for pcie every bootup? expecting that you're gonna change your motherboard to a crazily expensive one | 05:47 |

| techn9ne | what is a good cd burning utility for gnome? | 06:15 |
| reisio | wasn't working on gentoo - x was fried due to (afaik) bad pkg maintenence | 06:15 |
| randabis | k3b | 06:15 |
| techn9ne | ... for gnome | 06:15 |
| randabis | lol | 06:15 |
| randabis | my bad | 06:15 |
| doubletwist | I used to keep trying KDE, but I'd always switch back to WindowMaker. Now instead I always go back to xfce | 06:15 |
| Guardiann | k3b will work in gnome | 06:15 |
| techn9ne | k3b doesnt work well | 06:15 |
| randabis | you can use it in gnome though | 06:16 |
| reisio | techn9ne: isn't there something like gtoast? | 06:16 |
| techn9ne | it gave me a bunch of errors | 06:16 |
| randabis | works just fine for me | 06:16 |
| doubletwist | in what way does k3b not work well? | 06:16 |
| techn9ne | it said i needed to be root and it was missing libraries | 06:16 |
| techn9ne | and it looked like crap | 06:16 |
| doubletwist | I've never had a problem with it. I think it's the only QT based software that I can't live without. :) | 06:16 |
| Guardiann | k3b works ok for me but you also need to run it as root | 06:16 |
| randabis | I have none of said problems | 06:16 |
| randabis | I don't run it as root | 06:16 |

| HarutoX | ty | 06:28 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | eelriverlt: yeah. | 06:29 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | i'm trying to get my sip phone working. trying linphone right now. | 06:29 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | next i'm going to try kphone, since linphone and minisip don't work. | 06:29 |
| setite | how do i turn dma on | 06:29 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | eelriverlt: do you have linphone? | 06:30 |
| doubletwist | setite yes I think -d 1 turns on dma | 06:30 |
| eelriverlt | BROKEN_LADDER, No, I don't. No one to talk too | 06:30 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | you could install it and call me :) | 06:30 |
| doubletwist | setite I usually use hdparm -c1 -d1 -m16 /dev/whatever | 06:30 |
| setite | but how do i figure out the last part | 06:30 |
| setite | yea what is the whatever | 06:30 |
| randabis | I just use xchat | 06:30 |
| doubletwist | setite well, it depends on what drive it is. | 06:30 |
| setite | yea thats the part i dont know | 06:31 |
| eelriverlt | I'll look into how to do it on s****ware | 06:31 |
| setite | ok more importantly... why am i getting an input plugin error in xine | 06:31 |
| setite | should i reinstall xine | 06:31 |
| doubletwist | setite well, you can run 'dmesg' and it should say in there what device it loaded your cdrom as. [often /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd] | 06:31 |
| doubletwist | or whichever drive. | 06:31 |
| doubletwist | setite once you figure it out, you can use /etc/hdparm.conf to safve the changes permanently. | 06:32 |
| eelriverlt | BROKEN_LADDER, www.sf-lug.org <-- more info on the local linux user group | 06:33 |
| doubletwist | setite Looks like you either have a drive that doesn't support dma, or it's having issues :) | 06:33 |
| setite | Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 330 | 06:34 |
| setite | hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } | 06:34 |
| setite | hdc: command error: error=0x54 | 06:34 |
| setite | what is all that | 06:34 |
| setite | ok well i just turned dma on | 06:34 |
| setite | but that was from the dmesg | 06:34 |
| doubletwist | setite it's sending commands to the drive that are failing. | 06:34 |
| setite | yea why is it failing | 06:35 |
| fabbione | setite: it means that dma is not ok for that drive | 06:35 |
| fabbione | there can be several reasons | 06:35 |
| fabbione | 1) the hd is dieing | 06:35 |
| setite | no i enabled dma after the errors | 06:35 |
| fabbione | 2) the ide cable isn't properly connected or is not good | 06:35 |
| setite | sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/ | 06:35 |
| doubletwist | setite run 'hdparm /dev/hdc' and it will tell you the current status of that drive [whether dma is really turned on] | 06:35 |
| setite | setite@ubuntu:~ $ sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc | 06:35 |
| setite | Password: | 06:35 |
| setite | /dev/hdc: | 06:35 |
| setite | setting using_dma to 1 (on) | 06:35 |
| setite | using_dma = 1 (on) | 06:35 |
| fabbione | setite: then it is mostlikely a hardware reason | 06:36 |
| fabbione | setite: or the controller is no no | 06:36 |
| doubletwist | setite Sometimes it gives errors like that if there's a bad disc in the drive [assuming it's a cd/dvd drive] | 06:36 |
| setite | bad disk... hmm lemme try another | 06:36 |
| setite | doubletwist pm | 06:37 |
| setite | i cant eject the damn thing now | 06:37 |
| doubletwist | is it mounted? | 06:37 |
| setite | ummmm | 06:38 |
| setite | i guess | 06:38 |
| setite | it wont eject manually | 06:38 |
| Guardiann | cause its mounted | 06:38 |
| setite | but usually it ejected when i right-clicked the cd | 06:38 |
| setite | but now it wont do that either | 06:38 |

| HarutoX | $ sudo chown -R root:root /opt/skype_staticQT-0.92.0.12/ ppl wht i need to put it in root:root ? | 06:43 |
| reisio | gabaug: check /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or whatever | 06:43 |
| gabaug | reisio: I did, I even copied an older, known-working version over and its the same | 06:43 |
| doubletwist | gabaug yeah you might try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 [or whatever the xorg equivalent is] | 06:43 |
| gabaug | doubletwist: did that, no luck | 06:43 |
| doubletwist | gabaug Bummer. I hope it doesn't happen to me, I'm upgrading to Hoary as we speak. :) | 06:44 |
| gabaug | doubletwist: I selected the other resolutions I wanted there and they are in the XFConfig-4 file but they're not given as an option | 06:44 |
| reisio | does hoary use xorg or xfree86 by default? | 06:44 |
| gabaug | reisio: it's using xorg for me | 06:44 |
| fabbione | xorg | 06:44 |
| reisio | gabaug: ah, well doesn't xorg look for xorg.conf? | 06:44 |
| doubletwist | ah good call. | 06:44 |
| gabaug | ooh, do have one of those :) | 06:44 |
| reisio | I forget whether you can just rename it | 06:44 |
| reisio | since I've never actually switched | 06:45 |
| reisio | a quick google will undoubtedly tell you | 06:45 |
| reisio | gabaug: I forgot - just "xorgconfig" :p | 06:45 |
| reisio | if you don't have a bunch of crazy customizations | 06:45 |
| randabis | what advantages does x.org have over the old x server? | 06:46 |
| doubletwist | I think it can support some transparency stuff :) | 06:46 |
| HarutoX | ppl i need help with this any can help ? $ sudo chown -R root:root /opt/skype_staticQT-0.92.0.12/ | 06:46 |
| reisio | randabis: afaik xfree86 is being dropped by the community because it changed its license | 06:46 |
| doubletwist | Which I think the new xfce beta can take advantage of. | 06:46 |
| randabis | ah I see | 06:46 |
| doubletwist | oh yeah and the license thing. | 06:46 |
| randabis | no longer gpl? | 06:46 |
| reisio | randabis: x.org is based off the last xfree86 with a good license afaik | 06:47 |
| HarutoX | ppl i need help with this any can help ? $ sudo chown -R root:root /opt/skype_staticQT-0.92.0.12/ | 06:47 |
| randabis | oic | 06:47 |
| doubletwist | I don't think x was ever 'gpl'. Didn't it have its own license? | 06:47 |
| MacPlusG3 | BROKEN_LADDER: oooerrr.. sms on voip phone... how'd you do that? | 06:47 |
| reisio | dunno | 06:47 |
| doubletwist | or am I horribly mistaken? | 06:47 |
| daniels | hoary uses xorg, which has xorg.conf. xfree86 does not have continuing development, because it has a tainted non-free licence; all the current development is happening in x.org. so, to answer your question: newer features, far better hardware support, just lots of random fixes. | 06:47 |
| randabis | mpt sire | 06:47 |
| randabis | wtf | 06:47 |
| randabis | not sure | 06:47 |
| reisio | just what I heard from my bro or somebody - that xfree86 adopted a lame license | 06:47 |
| daniels | x was never gpl -- it's a mix of three-clause bsd and mit/x11. | 06:47 |
| daniels | xfree86 tried to use the four-clause bsd licence, which is non-free. | 06:48 |
| reisio | daniels: cool, I should up to hoary, then :p | 06:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | did you get my message? | 06:48 |
| MacPlusG3 | daniels: dude, how goes it? | 06:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | i sent you a message. | 06:48 |
| MacPlusG3 | BROKEN_LADDER: yeap | 06:48 |
| randabis | I'd go to hoary but I'm too chickenshit lol | 06:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | it's just an option in various clients. | 06:48 |
| daniels | MacPlusG3: dude! not too bad but busy as hell. you? | 06:48 |
| reisio | randabis: is it not "stable" yet? | 06:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | the MSN messenger can use sip and send text as well. | 06:48 |
| randabis | I've heard it's highly unstable | 06:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | it can even do voice now. | 06:48 |
| randabis | from people in this channel | 06:49 |
| doubletwist | I'm fealing really adventurous. So I'm trying hoary on my amd64... | 06:49 |
| reisio | randabis: ah, well I can wait - it's just good to know they're dropping xfree | 06:49 |
| randabis | as far as I know the official hoary won't be released until late april/early may | 06:49 |

| doubletwist | afkb while I see if the hoary upgrade hosed my system.... | 06:59 |
| jintonic | how could i copy all the mp3 files in a directory, recursively? | 06:59 |
| jintonic | oh, and have them be in one output dir | 06:59 |
| jintonic | all side by side, negating the previous folder structure | 07:00 |
| MacPlusG3 | jintonic: for i in `find . -type f|grep '\.mp3$'`; do mv $i destdir/; done | 07:01 |
| MacPlusG3 | jintonic: there may be a gui way... but i don't know it | 07:01 |
| camh | jintonic: you may want double quotes around $i: eg ...do mv "$i" destdir... - if you have spaces in filenames | 07:02 |
| jintonic | i was thinking cp could probably do it | 07:02 |
| MacPlusG3 | camh: you are correc | 07:03 |
| === ant_o [~anto@203.130.197.108] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jintonic | but its important that there is no folder structure in the out dir, i don't want folder structure, that's the whole point of this | 07:03 |
| jintonic | cp -r doesnt seem to give me that | 07:04 |

| Tyche | Hello everyone | 07:14 |
| doubletwist | setite Yes? | 07:14 |
| setite | it works now | 07:14 |
| doubletwist | excellent! | 07:15 |
| setite | i just restarted the whole pc | 07:15 |
| setite | haha... a classic easy fix | 07:15 |
| Tyche | I was hoping someone could tell me about a video editing software they use. I am looking for something like Adobe Premier that is on the PC. | 07:15 |
| setite | i hate to restart though | 07:15 |
| doubletwist | setite And I thought we were trying to get away with that in leaving windows. | 07:15 |
| aToaster | Any ideas why I wouldn't see a OS selection screen on lilo when I boot the pc? | 07:15 |
| setite | yea its a windows trick | 07:16 |
| randabis | yeah we don't reboot in linux land :p | 07:16 |
| setite | but i guess its just a pc trick in general | 07:16 |
| setite | well it fixed the problem so im happy | 07:16 |
| doubletwist | lilo can be installed without a 'menu'. You can hit TAB and it will show the available os's to boot into | 07:16 |
| setite | tyche? | 07:16 |
| setite | you mean adobe premier for linux? | 07:16 |
| doubletwist | of course, my desktop gets rebooted constantly [dual-boot] , but my servers, never. | 07:16 |
| aToaster | doubletwist, ah cool, is there any way I can leave the menu on? | 07:16 |

| setite | i couldnt do it | 07:18 |

| setite | or maybe i can try again | 07:18 |
| doubletwist | go as far as the 'make', then tarball up the dir, and they can untar and run the make install | 07:18 |
| randabis | doubletwist well yeah...:p | 07:18 |
| doubletwist | assuming you have similar hardware/libs installed and such. | 07:19 |

| setite | is compiling a process affected by cpu speed? | 07:23 |

| doubletwist | HarutoX you mean like a web browser? I don't think it supports that. | 07:24 |

| setite | http://www.mainconcept.com/mainactor.shtml | 07:30 |
| bigbubba | so type at the end of it using /usr...? | 07:30 |
| setite | "Final Cut Pro on the Mac, and Premiere, for Windows, both provide professional quality video editing. Cinelerra is the closest and best Linux equivalent.

| setite | sound good? | 07:31 |

| setite | "Cinelerra includes many of the features of the pricey professional editors and some extras: real-time visual effects, FireWire input/output, render-farm capability, and even support for HDTV formats and Ogg Vorbis. The downside is that its hardware demands are quite unforgiving; the recommended configuration has a dual 2GHz Athlon system, with 1GB RAM and a 200GB hard drive." | 07:32 |

| zenwhen | Its worthless without that | 07:51 |
| randabis | I agree | 07:51 |
| zenwhen | But znes rocks | 07:51 |
| zenwhen | and Mupen64 | 07:51 |
| setite | qUAKE2 | 07:52 |
| randabis | it detects it for me, but my axises don't work | 07:52 |
| zenwhen | For WRESTLEMANIA 2000 | 07:52 |
| randabis | I can set buttons, etc, but the axes won't work | 07:52 |
| zenwhen | is there a gui for it somewhere? | 07:52 |
| randabis | I use the gnomeboy advance frontend | 07:52 |
| randabis | yes gnomeboy advance | 07:52 |
| zenwhen | huh | 07:52 |
| zenwhen | wts | 07:52 |
| randabis | there are .debs out there for it | 07:52 |
| jintonic | how can i change file associations in gnome? | 07:53 |
| randabis | yeah can't forget mupen64 | 07:53 |
| setite | what! no ati vs nvidia wars | 07:53 |
| setite | whats the fun in thta :) | 07:53 |
| doubletwist | Hmm, there seems to be a minor bug in nautilus... | 07:53 |
| randabis | well, it's not really a war in linux | 07:53 |
| randabis | nvidia pwns ati in linux | 07:53 |
| zenwhen | its more of an "nvidia wins" | 07:54 |
| randabis | hehe | 07:54 |
| setite | agreed | 07:54 |
| setite | there is no war | 07:54 |
| setite | its over before it started | 07:54 |
| doubletwist | when I go to an nfs mount, it shows a horribly incorrect number for the space free.. | 07:54 |
| randabis | in windows...I'd say more of a draw...depends on what you're comparing | 07:54 |
| setite | i dont think anyone... in their right mind can pick ati when making a rig with linux in mind | 07:54 |
| jintonic | how can i change file associations in gnome? | 07:54 |
| zenwhen | Its arguable in windows, but who wants to run Windows to have the need for said argument? | 07:54 |
| setite | yea in windows it comes down to what the developers chose | 07:54 |
| doubletwist | I've got about 77GB free on the NFS mount [out of 120gig] , but nautilus seems to think I have 297.1GB free. | 07:54 |
| setite | like doom3 = nvidia | 07:55 |
| setite | hl2=ati | 07:55 |
| setite | but both games kick ass on both cards | 07:55 |
| randabis | meh, I thought hl2 was overrated | 07:55 |
| doubletwist | I'm so glad I finally got rid of my ati. I loved it in windows, but it was a nightmare in linux. | 07:55 |
| setite | hell yea it was | 07:55 |
| setite | i bought it for cs source | 07:55 |
| randabis | I was so dissapointed by the shitty ending | 07:55 |
| bigbubba | i looked in the man for fortune and really didn't see anything about this how do you create the files for it? lets say i have a bunch of lame personal jokes i want to show when users login at random how would i modify fortune to do this thanks in advance | 07:55 |
| setite | i played it for 20 mins | 07:55 |
| setite | when i was runnign through the apartment building i said screw this | 07:55 |
| setite | cheat code time | 07:56 |
| randabis | wahaha | 07:56 |
| randabis | I think cheats make fps' more fun | 07:56 |
| setite | they really do | 07:56 |
| doubletwist | I stopped playing it because I've been playing JointOps co-op with my father-in-law... | 07:56 |

| mparenti | what the mount command | 07:57 |
| daniels | if you want to talk about games and video cards, please use #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:57 |
| setite | doubletwist... you wont be buying many games then | 07:57 |
| setite | and even ones that have it... sometimes it sucks | 07:57 |
| setite | brb... gonna restart x and see if quake shows up in my game menu | 07:58 |
| doubletwist | And I was even limiting the non-linux-compatible games I was buying ;) [or non-ubuntu-compatible, to keep it on-topic :) ] | 07:58 |
| randabis | lol he's just plugging his channel | 07:58 |
| doubletwist | argh, why won't my menus show up? | 07:58 |
| daniels | randabis: no, #ubuntu-offtopic is not 'my channel'. it is where offtopic discussion goes. and this incredibly long discussion which is drowning out support requests, is offtopic. | 07:58 |
| randabis | ah my bad | 07:59 |
| randabis | didn't realize this is strictly a support chan | 07:59 |

| setite | where did it go | 07:59 |

| setite | well i was told that the app must be designed to do it | 08:00 |
| Gwildor | yeah | 08:00 |
| doubletwist | Gwildor tried that, didn't work. Sometimes the menu's don't show up for days. | 08:00 |

| daniels | randabis: i'll thank you to not do that again | 08:03 |
| setite | how | 08:03 |
| setite | i dont know how to run things | 08:03 |
| randabis | sorry | 08:03 |
| doubletwist | open a terminal and type "update-menus" without the quotes. | 08:03 |
| setite | i dont know how to do anything from terminal | 08:03 |
| doubletwist | then hit Enter | 08:04 |
| setite | so that how to run a program on this from terminal | 08:04 |
| setite | just type the name | 08:04 |
| doubletwist | or I supposed you can do it from "Run Program" if gnome has something like that. | 08:04 |
| setite | nothing else | 08:04 |
| doubletwist | setite yeah | 08:04 |
| randabis | now's a good time to learn | 08:04 |
| doubletwist | setite generally. | 08:04 |
| setite | cool | 08:04 |
| randabis | terminal makes things very easy | 08:04 |
| setite | where is quake | 08:05 |
| setite | should i type quake2 | 08:05 |
| setite | or quake | 08:05 |
| doubletwist | Like I said earlier, I usually use the terminal to install things, since I can type "apt-get install program" faster than I can open synaptic, search, select the program, and apply. | 08:05 |

| BillyAnachronism | Hi, I'm having problems with ubuntu ppc install | 08:57 |
| BillyAnachronism | I can't get the base install to finish | 08:57 |
| BillyAnachronism | I've tried reburning the iso and redownloading and burning the iso but still have the same problems | 08:57 |
| BillyAnachronism | can anyone tell me where to get instructions to install it totally through the net? | 08:57 |
| bob2 | er | 09:00 |
| bob2 | you did check that the cd was burnt correctly, right? | 09:00 |
| BillyAnachronism | yes | 09:00 |
| BillyAnachronism | I've reburnt it like 10 times | 09:00 |
| bob2 | no | 09:00 |
| BillyAnachronism | and downloaded the iso twice | 09:00 |
| BillyAnachronism | ? | 09:00 |
| bob2 | that's not "checking", that's reburning it | 09:00 |
| bob2 | you need to check the iso | 09:00 |
| BillyAnachronism | well, I redownloaded the iso | 09:00 |

| bob2 | run the "check iso" or whatever it is from the installer meniu | 09:01 |
| bob2 | how would redownloading it help? | 09:01 |

| BillyAnachronism | I downloaded from a different place | 09:01 |
| BillyAnachronism | bob2, yes it does | 09:02 |
| bob2 | you're sure? no errors at all? | 09:02 |
| Cube-ness | what would cause the installer to see hd's as gigantic fat16 partitions, rather than the individual partitions that are there, non of which are fat16? | 09:02 |

| tr011 | Cube-ness, bob2, thanks... | 09:03 |

| Moof | I've been movin files with non-acii filenames between machines with deffrent locale encodings, as you do. I now have filenames in cp850, iso-8859-1 and utf-8. I'd rather like them all to be in utf-8 | 11:45 |

| no0tic | jintonic: select the right package for your kernel; you can find out what kernel you are running with uname- a | 12:33 |

| kezz | IRCMonkey, you'll need to put it in ur /etc/fstab to make the changes permanent after restart | 12:35 |

| trey3 | Vaportrail: depends what kind of partitioning you are using... with a /usr partition, it needn't be larger than a gig... enless its a server... in which case I'd recommend seperating out /var anyways... | 02:19 |

| trey3 | Vaportrail: as I said though, one partition with entire drive would be fine in most cases... | 02:21 |
| trey3 | Vaportrail: thats only if you insist upon repartitioning :) | 02:21 |
| Vaportrail | trey3 but I prefere to have an extra /home drive 4 example | 02:21 |
| trey3 | Vaportrail: for desktop systems, /home should be large :) | 02:21 |
| Vaportrail | trey3: I don't insist on repartitioning, its that I want to kill my windows partitions :P | 02:22 |
| trey3 | Vaportrail: its easier to just use the default though... you won't really see much difference in performance on a desktop system either way... just overcomplicates things for most users... | 02:23 |

| kent | my main concern is that its not so easy for other to understand how to put bookmarks in there. I mean, even the file-selector is hard to understand for real beginners. And if people do understand howto, it looks a bit ugly right now, since i think it should have a seperator with a "bookmarks"-line or something. | 04:31 |

| Gnat42 | anyone get xmame/xmess installed on ubuntu - PPC ? | 06:28 |
| randabis | Yes, my splash works, sort of | 06:28 |
| pybe-lappy | xav_: heh i cant even install mplayer, says broken package unmet deps | 06:29 |
| xav_ | pybe-lappy, with apt-get, it tells me transcode and imagemakick can't be installed | 06:29 |
| Gnat42 | Using synaptic, it finds xmess-common and xmame-common | 06:29 |
| randabis | my shutdown splash works, but I can't get the startup splash working for some reason | 06:29 |
| Xerakko | plz in wich package is acx100-pci.ko in ubuntu? | 06:29 |
| Gnat42 | but can't find xmame? | 06:29 |
| bretzel | hehehe Soft of ? at boot it doesn't work if I remember ? | 06:29 |
| xav_ | pybe-lappy, hmm I had that too | 06:29 |
| grepper | Xerakko, no hits | 06:29 |
| pybe-lappy | xav_: same with dvdrip | 06:29 |
| pybe-lappy | Xerakko: apt-file doesnt exists | 06:29 |
| Xerakko | grepper: could you try acx_pci.ko? | 06:29 |
| randabis | yeah, shutdown splash works perfectly, with animations, but my startup splash won't work at all | 06:29 |
| xav_ | all these repo are really confusing | 06:29 |
| randabis | The framebuffer loads, but no splash | 06:30 |
| bretzel | Do you have the linux cosonles in framebuffer now ? | 06:30 |
| bob2 | thenuke: just what the man page says | 06:30 |
| randabis | yes | 06:30 |
| bob2 | thenuke: it tries to unbreak your dependencies | 06:30 |
| randabis | 1280x1024 | 06:30 |
| randabis | just gotta figure out why my startup splash won't show up | 06:31 |

| bretzel | Randabis: If I have time I will get into 2.8.10 me too but all the procedures to get that kernel sources in this Ubuntu ( for compile setup modules I am ok me too) is unknow for me | 06:33 |
| randabis | I just downloaded a vanilla kernel from kernel.org | 06:33 |
| bretzel | randabis: then to integreate this source in Ubuntu ? how it is related to Ubuntu/Debian way ? | 06:34 |
| bob2 | kernel.org kernels do not have a lot of the modules ubuntu kernels include | 06:34 |
| bretzel | bob2: That is what I mean :-) | 06:34 |
| bob2 | if you don't know how to build external modules, just use ubuntu kernels, for everyone's sake | 06:34 |
| randabis | make my symbolic link to the new kernel source, did a make xconfig, verified my configuration, did make-kpkg 2.6.10, then installed the .deb | 06:34 |
| randabis | made my grub changes, and voila | 06:35 |
| randabis | bob2, yeah, I don't need those modules | 06:35 |
| bretzel | randabis: Wow its that simple ? ( of course knowing the make-dkpg tool :-) ) | 06:35 |
| randabis | nforce chipset so get my modules from nvidia | 06:35 |

| === hannes__ [hannes@baana-81-175-156-43.dsl.phnet.fi] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| bretzel | don't have nforce, just an nvidia vcard, not the chipset | 06:36 |
| xav_ | so it's exactly like the debian way | 06:36 |
| xav_ | ok thanks | 06:36 |
| randabis | yessir | 06:36 |
| randabis | you can do it the old fashioned way too if you want | 06:37 |
| randabis | make, make bzImage, make install, etc | 06:37 |
| randabis | make-kpkg just makes it easier | 06:37 |
| runenes | can rhythmbox/totem handle divx? | 06:37 |
| xav_ | but you don't know all what it does at start | 06:37 |
| bretzel | randabis: like bob2 says: vanilla don't have ubuntu modules... we have to navigate and check all needed mods ? | 06:38 |
| xav_ | which step it does exactly, which files it installs | 06:38 |
| randabis | yes, you'll need to check all your modules | 06:38 |
| xav_ | the old way is easier to control | 06:38 |
| xav_ | what are ubuntu modules? | 06:38 |

| bob2 | randabis: when is it useful? | 06:39 |
| randabis | when you want to streamline your kernel, add certain things like bootsplash support, etc | 06:39 |
| xav_ | I thought it wasnt bad to have a lighter kernel | 06:39 |
| bob2 | randabis: 'streamline' is almost always a lie | 06:40 |
| randabis | I like digging through the config :p | 06:40 |
| bob2 | xav_: I bet you can't make a "lighter" kernel than ubuntu ships with | 06:40 |
| bob2 | bootsplash is an argument, but a weak one | 06:40 |
| xav_ | ? | 06:40 |
| xav_ | there are a lot of modules I don't need | 06:40 |
| bob2 | how does removing modules help? | 06:40 |
| xav_ | I don't see how it couldnt be lighter | 06:40 |
| randabis | modules aren't in your kernel | 06:40 |

| randabis | but there are certain things that some people like built-in to their kernels though too | 06:41 |
| xav_ | I didn't | 06:41 |
| randabis | like file systems | 06:41 |
| bob2 | xav_: for example? | 06:41 |
| randabis | bretzel, it's in the graphics support section of the kernel config | 06:41 |
| bob2 | randabis: but there's no point to it[0] | 06:42 |
| bob2 | 0: there is, sometimes | 06:42 |

| bob2 | randabis: "most people" don't know what it is :) | 06:44 |
| bob2 | bretzel: what are you doing? | 06:44 |

| bob2 | bretzel: erm, 2.6.10 is packaged, use that | 06:46 |
| randabis | in hoary | 06:46 |
| bob2 | randabis: no, the source should not be there. build it in your home dir or something | 06:46 |

| randabis | heh true | 06:47 |
| dasmi | Well, day two of my Ubuntu iBook install, and things are still working :) | 06:47 |
| sabdfl | on my local network i have a relayhost that uses (requires) ssl | 06:47 |
| sabdfl | in general, when I'm roaming, i can see that host, and again have to use ssl | 06:48 |
| randabis | my friend lance has a problem with hotplugging in the hoary 2.6.10 | 06:48 |
| sabdfl | but many hotel / airport wireless operators transparently intercept smtp | 06:48 |
| randabis | pcie.ko or something errors | 06:48 |
| bretzel | but about the usplash ? or whatever bootsplash enabling and more importantly: consoles in fb ... is that pkg of 2.6.10 is etup that way ? | 06:48 |
| sabdfl | they don't offer ssl | 06:48 |
| bob2 | randabis: no, that's a warning, not a bug | 06:48 |
| sabdfl | so in that case i don't want to try to use it, it breaks them | 06:48 |
| lamont_r | and not so transparently either... :-( | 06:48 |
| bob2 | bretzel: you really care *that* much? | 06:48 |
| randabis | bob2, I didn't think it was anything to worry about | 06:49 |
| bretzel | bob2: that is my goal, just like randabis :-) | 06:49 |
| bob2 | um, wow, ok | 06:49 |
| randabis | I get the same error with my laptop in 2.6.8 | 06:49 |
| lamont_r | sabdfl: sounds like you just need to have postfix-tls configured to be opportunistic | 06:49 |
| sabdfl | ok | 06:50 |
| bob2 | randabis: yes, it's nothing to worry about | 06:50 |
| lamont_r | I'm pretty sure that's possible. | 06:50 |
| sabdfl | lamont_r: so setup the relayhost, then setup postfix-tls | 06:50 |
| bob2 | randabis: if it really bothers you, you can blacklist the module in /etc/hotplug/blacklist | 06:50 |
| lamont_r | sabdfl: I think so. | 06:50 |
| pybe-lappy | randabis: add the modules to /etc/hotplug/blacklist and the warnings go away | 06:50 |

| maximaus | TenPlus1, read this: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats | 07:29 |
| sri_ | er rather flash readers with flash cards | 07:29 |
| maximaus | bottom of page | 07:30 |
| sri_ | I mean, if I boot with a flash drive in the reader, it shows an icon for it, but once I unmount and then remove the disk it wont come back | 07:30 |
| kent | TenPlus1, I just added the restricted section to synaptic and installed totem-xine and w32codecs. (its documented on the page you got recently above) | 07:30 |
| RvS | Does anyone know the difference between the installation packages? I have an AMD K6-2, should I just use the AMD64-installation? | 07:30 |
| sri_ | it mounts the flash disk fine though, and I even get project utopia asking me whther I want to import pics or something. | 07:30 |

| kent | how come that the wikipage about restricted codecs etc, now recomends to install repositories outside of Ubuntu? Earlier i think it said to add "restricted" to apt and install it from there.. that seems like better than to hope for other people to do the work :( | 07:32 |
| no0tic | RvS: AMD k6 is not 64 bit | 07:32 |

| xav_ | I looked | 09:44 |
| xav_ | it seems its enabled | 09:44 |

| ogra | netsniper: argh.... would you report a bug at bugzilla.ubuntu.com so that can be corrected for hoary ? | 11:08 |
| Quest-Master | Corkasus: Whichever was the default one at first | 11:08 |
| netsniper | ogra, ok | 11:08 |

| jkelly | hi, i'm having a problem with another users permissions. i try to do sudo apt-get update for akelly the following command is as follows akelly is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. What does this mean and how can i fix this problem? | 11:44 |
| jkelly | anyone know? | 11:46 |
| Tomcat_ | jkelly: It's a normal problem... you have to do sudo from your user. | 11:46 |
| Tomcat_ | jkelly: If you want to change to your user before doing sudo, do "su jkelly" | 11:46 |
| broodster | oh and 1 more question | 11:47 |
| Tomcat_ | jkelly: Or "su - jkelly" if you need a login shell. :o | 11:47 |
| broodster | Is it safe to edit the permisions to my windows mount | 11:47 |
| jkelly | is there anyway i can fix this problem for the other users? | 11:47 |
| Tomcat_ | broodster: It is a driver for Windows, so I guess yeah. | 11:47 |
| broodster | so i can store files on it with linux? | 11:47 |
| Tomcat_ | jkelly: You can add him to /etc/sudoers... but remember that this is dangerous, as the user gains root access. | 11:47 |
| Tomcat_ | broodster: I have never used this thing... it's the only thing I found with Google, and many people used it with success to read and write... for more than that you're on your own. :) | 11:48 |
| maps73 | Vaportrail, ok, i readed..... now i'm installang mozilla-mplayer | 11:48 |
| jkelly | how can i let the user only have root access when doing a normal update? | 11:48 |
| broodster | no i mean | 11:48 |
| broodster | im on linux | 11:48 |
| broodster | would it be safe | 11:49 |
| broodster | to edit my windows mount permissions | 11:49 |
| broodster | so i can write to it | 11:49 |
| Vaportrail | maps73: the whole guide is very useful :) | 11:49 |

| === dogg [~dogg@113-77-177.adsl.cust.tie.cl] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| j^ | anyone got acpi suspend working on a samsung Q20? | 11:50 |
| Tomcat_ | jkelly: Still dangerous though, because the script might have exploits, or apt might have exploits, so users can run anything as root. | 11:51 |

| erik | akelly's not in there :) | 11:59 |
