| andreas_ | Vince-0: dont take it bad, thanks for trying ;) | 12:02 |
| Riddell | poofpoof: bleading edge means compiling CVS, see developer.kde.org | 12:02 |
| hikaru79 | I can't install KDE from hoary, it's missing a package called kcmlinuz | 12:02 |
| poofpoof | ok, not that bleeding... | 12:02 |
| Riddell | poofpoof: but if you want 3.3.2 get it from hoary | 12:02 |
| hikaru79 | Judging from the forums, I'm not the first to have that problem | 12:03 |
| poofpoof | yea | 12:03 |
| hikaru79 | Riddell, we can't | 12:03 |

| randabis-wireles | heh a lot of heat comes out of this laptop :p | 12:03 |
| hikaru79 | Riddell, so what's the difference between kde metapackage and kde-core? | 12:03 |

| hikaru79 | Riddell, only problem I have now is that the KDE "start menu" is totally blank; not even the little software I have (gtk+ progs, Konsole, etc) show up. Do I have to add manually? | 12:40 |

| tidalwav | bL: I understand | 12:40 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | but there's no option to change that. i just see options related to downloading packages. | 12:40 |
| hikaru79 | BROKEN_LADDER, is it really that much of a problem to see an extra 'u' in there? | 12:40 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | it's way annoying. | 12:40 |
| tidalwav | BL: you need to say exactly what baseconfig is asking. | 12:41 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | if i could fix it without too much trouble i'd like to. | 12:41 |
| ChrisC_ | Where do you set up the conduits (i.e. where the data goes on your PC when you sync)? For warty. | 12:41 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | i'm annoyed just having to use small letters in irc. | 12:41 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | i use dvorak | 12:41 |

| hikaru79 | Seriously? =O Can I see a photo? I've never seen one of those! | 12:42 |
| Vince-0 | how do i see what kernel I have ( I gotta get the source for it ) ? | 12:42 |

| ChrisC_ | Vince-0, OK, but usually what they mean is that you need the kernel headers, a common requirement for compiling a kernel module. You can get just the headers via Synaptic I believe. | 12:44 |
| crimsun | BROKEN_LADDER: I'm presuming you've already run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data' | 12:45 |
| Vince-0 | ChrisC_: what name / desc ? | 12:45 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | what exactly would that do for me? | 12:45 |
| ChrisC_ | On warty, to configure PalmOS hotsync behavior I go to Computer -> Desktop Preferences -> PalmOS Devices. Does anyone know how it's done in hoary? Can't find it. | 12:45 |

| codecaine | what's site for kynaptic? | 02:37 |
| Riddell | jonmasters: naw, it's a KDE frontend for synaptic | 02:37 |
| codecaine | y'all like kde better than gnome? | 02:37 |
| jonmasters | bob2: No. That's not what I was getting at. What I was getting at is that if the system has no free blocks at boot then it should be caught straight off with a big red warning. | 02:38 |
| Riddell | codecaine: yes | 02:38 |
| bob2 | jonmasters: what if it has 1? depmod still won't run. | 02:38 |
| hikaru79 | Riddell, actually, scratch that, it's not working fine... it never actually installs any of the packages | 02:38 |
| hikaru79 | Just says it does. | 02:38 |
| jintonic | i'd think the kind of people that like the ubuntu install are the kind that like gnome... minimalists... | 02:38 |
| hikaru79 | But if you try to run it, it doesn't work, and if you go back into it, it says it's not installed | 02:38 |
| jonmasters | bob2: Then some suitable minimum to print a warning at. It doesn't have to do much more than that. | 02:38 |
| bob2 | jonmasters: what's a sensible minimum? | 02:38 |
| Poof | ubuntu use alsa or oss? | 02:39 |
| bob2 | Poof: alsa by default | 02:39 |
| jonmasters | bob2: Just a big warning "You have less than 5% free space on /". | 02:39 |

| bob2 | you can use the -686 one if you like | 03:14 |
| jonmasters | Poof: You can use a Pentium 4 optimised kernel, but the stock one will work just fine. | 03:14 |

| jintonic | has anybody done stats on 2.6-386 vs 686 vs k7 kernel? | 03:15 |
| jonmasters | It's subjective and it's difficult to say whether it will really matter. | 03:15 |
| jonmasters | jintonic: I am sure they have, but I don't have a link. | 03:15 |
| Poof | I am going to be useing it for 3d rendering and content creation | 03:15 |
| jonmasters | jintonic: How would do that accurately though? | 03:16 |
| jonmasters | jintonic: Different hardware, different drivers, different kernel code paths. | 03:16 |
| jintonic | i'd think it wouldn't really matter on p4 but on k7 i'd expect 3dnow to speed things up a little <-- based on very little knowlege in the area of processors | 03:16 |
| jintonic | hrm, true | 03:17 |
| jonmasters | but often you can't use that anyway since anything that uses fpu registers is often out. | 03:18 |
| jonmasters | (FPU context isn't always preserved in kernelspace unless a task is actually switched out) | 03:18 |

| === wobbler [wayne@216.163.103.112] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| bob2 | you don't need an initrd | 05:27 |
| bob2 | you need to compile your IDE/SCSI driver, and your root filesystem driver IN the kernel | 05:27 |
| bob2 | not as modules | 05:27 |
| randabis-wireles | you do if you don't compile your ide/file system into your kernel | 05:27 |
| randabis-wireles | a quick solution without having to compile again would be | 05:28 |
| bretzel | That is what I cared to be sure IDE was builtin | 05:28 |
| randabis-wireles | mkinitrd -o initrd.img-2.6.10 2.6.10 | 05:28 |
| randabis-wireles | then make sure you update menu.lst | 05:28 |
| randabis-wireles | you'd add an initrd below the kernel line | 05:28 |
| bob2 | bretzel: you forgot one or the other, try aain | 05:28 |
| randabis-wireles | initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10 | 05:29 |
| randabis-wireles | but anyway, back to my error | 05:29 |
| bretzel | bob2, randabis: what if I get the config from 2.6.8 and loadit in menuconfig ? | 05:29 |
| sobralense | I wish could exist some howto to get those "desktop" things of.. kinda: gdm, gnome, hotplug , etc.. | 05:30 |
| bretzel | so add IDE support | 05:30 |
| bob2 | bretzel: the ubuntu one? that won't work, it needs an initrd. | 05:30 |

| Prower | Hello :> When you're compiling a kernel by hand, how do you specify that you want an initrd made? | 05:45 |
| Agrajag | you have to make one yourself | 05:45 |
| gpled | JDahl: looking for something like gftp, but that does scp | 05:45 |
| Agrajag | mkinitrd is the program I think | 05:45 |
| zenwhen | yes | 05:45 |
| Agrajag | I never bother with initrds though | 05:46 |
| zenwhen | Nor do I | 05:46 |
| randabis-wireles | in your make-kpkg you can specify --initrd | 05:46 |
| stuNNed | bob2, found it thanks, sorry about that, dang :) | 05:46 |
| Prower | Agrajag: I wouldn't either normally, but I'm afraid I'll miss something in the configuration that should be static rather than a module | 05:46 |
| zenwhen | I make sure anything needed to boot is in the kernel | 05:46 |
| bob2 | Prower: it's a huge pain in the arse, don't bother | 05:46 |
| Agrajag | Prower: all you really need usually is the IDE driver and FS driver | 05:47 |
| gpled | hmm, sounds like gftp might do it. supports ssh. | 05:47 |
| bob2 | Prower: use an ubuntu kernel or carefully bulid your ide/scsi and root filesystem in to the kernel | 05:47 |
| JDahl | gpled, I understand.. what I meant is, rsync uses ssh and is pretty advanced (if you dont mind CLI) | 05:47 |
| Prower | Agrajag: Hmm..well, I guess I'll have to check it out :> | 05:47 |
| Prower | bob2: Currently I'm using an Ubuntu kernel, but it has bandwidth limiting and QoS built in..I suspect that's been slowing my connection speed down, so I was trying to figure out how to disable it | 05:48 |
| zenwhen | I screwed up over and over when I was first trying to build my own kernel. Once you get it done, life is good. I still cant build 2.6.10 andmake it work with Ubuntu's automount magic. | 05:48 |
| sladen | Prower: ummm. unlikely. Unless you've /told/ it to slow your connection down! | 05:48 |
| bob2 | Prower: no, it's realy not | 05:48 |
| JDahl | gpled, and saves your bandwidth (big time) if you're frequently synchronizing dirs | 05:49 |
| bob2 | Prower: they're modules, afaik, and they don't do anything unless they're specially configured | 05:49 |
| bob2 | and you don't accidentally learn how to use tc ;) | 05:49 |
| sladen | JDahl: and more if you use compression and rsync | 05:49 |
| Prower | bob2: Well that's odd :/ In all the games that I've tried I'm getting much slower ping rates on the same machine than I do in Windows | 05:49 |
| Prower | I haven't specifically told it to use it, that was just a theory | 05:49 |

| nicedreams | and quake3 is on fat | 07:15 |
| LameNick | well you need to linux port | 07:16 |
| nicedreams | i've gamed from fat in linux before but it locks my system up after a while | 07:16 |

| nicedreams | i copied quake3 from my windows install to another dir | 07:16 |
| Agrajag | nicedreams: install the linux port, then make symlinks to the .pk3 files | 07:16 |
| nicedreams | then ran the quake linux patch | 07:16 |
| Agrajag | nicedreams: you can just use symlinks | 07:16 |
| Agrajag | then you don't have two copies of those big files sitting around | 07:16 |
| nicedreams | it works fine, ut I wanted to know if it's good to do it or something. It locks my PC up after awhile when i game from fat so i wanted to know if that might be the problem | 07:17 |
| Agrajag | it shouldn't | 07:17 |

| tha_gm|onaquest | yes | 08:49 |
| linux_galore | I usually use xfs when using large file systems but I ubuntu doesn't support xfs by default last I looked | 08:49 |

| crimsun | linux_galore: sure it supports XFS | 08:49 |
| tha_gm|onaquest | nicedreams yes, just make it like you were loading another kernel, and turn stuff on and off, like acpi, or mem | 08:50 |
| crimsun | linux_galore: it creates ext3 fs by default, but that's a far cry from not supporting it by default. | 08:50 |
| nicedreams | tha_gm|onaquest, how would i do that? | 08:50 |
| linux_galore | crimsun: yeah but doesnt ubuntu default to reiserfs and ext3 and two halves | 08:50 |
| nicedreams | tha_gm|onaquest, or i don't understand | 08:50 |
| linux_galore | <humour. | 08:50 |
| crimsun | in fact, I'd be kinda screwed if Ubuntu kernels didn't support XFS, since I'm running XFS. | 08:50 |
| nicedreams | crimsun, hoary might support xfs | 08:51 |
| linux_galore | crimsun: aaah so you can get ubuntu using xfs | 08:51 |
| tha_gm|onaquest | nice dreams, do you have a grub.conf ? | 08:51 |
| linux_galore | Im a real fan of xfs | 08:51 |
| nicedreams | tha_gm|onaquest, yea | 08:51 |

| tha_gm|onaquest | nicedreams I don't have a grub.conf So I can't find it for you, It's usually in /boot/grub/grub.conf | 08:53 |
| nicedreams | tha_gm|onaquest, i don't have one then | 08:54 |
| Cam | whats the kernel source package name? and does it come with the cd? | 08:54 |
| linux_galore | Konlied: no jfs also allows large file sizes | 08:54 |
| nicedreams | what is xfs good for? | 08:54 |
| nicedreams | or when it is good to use xfs? | 08:55 |
| linux_galore | wasnt resiserfs4 suposed to offer the large file size option | 08:55 |
| nicedreams | i think resier is for smaller files | 08:55 |
| linux_galore | nicedreams: its good for multi media systems and xfs has this neat bit were it tunes your file system all the time trying to find the best way to run things | 08:55 |
| gen | reiserfs holds large files fine | 08:55 |

| crimsun | Blobbo: Ubuntu releases are much more current than their Debian counterparts.

| SirFred | Flash plugin is crashing my firefox. Is anybody else experimenting this behaviour. | 12:30 |
| SirFred | I'm on Hoary. | 12:30 |
| ernstp | hello | 12:30 |
| SirFred | The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. | 12:31 |
| SirFred | This probably reflects a bug in the program. | 12:31 |
| SirFred | The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. | 12:31 |
| SirFred | (Details: serial 117 error_code 8 request_code 147 minor_code 3) | 12:31 |
| ernstp | I'm having problems with pmount on hoary | 12:31 |
| SirFred | For any flash plugin firefox loads, I got that. | 12:31 |
| ernstp | there is no /usr/bin/pmount, only pmount-hal | 12:31 |
| ericf | SirFred: I had it too. Don't know what to do about it :) | 12:32 |
| SirFred | ernstp: Same here with pmount. | 12:32 |
| SirFred | ericf: Do you know if there's any bugzilla entry about it? | 12:32 |
| ernstp | SirFred, ok.. Checking som forums right now | 12:32 |
| ericf | felixdz: then better immediately get a dutch passport, you will need to do some support weekly ;) | 12:32 |

| grepper | crimsun, actually I couldn't see a way to do this on a per user basis in gdm.conf | 06:19 |
| linux_mafia | new-ubuntu, try using nero proper, not startsmart, and going selecting the "burn image" option, rather than using startsmart | 06:19 |
| ArCHoNKoG | why doesn't gdesklet work ? | 06:19 |
| ulx | crimsun: i had a look at the wike and changed somethings in modprobe aliases.. but no luck.. | 06:19 |
| sobralense | reijo01, generally "lspci" show | 06:19 |
| new-ubuntu | any other way if we don't have the real nero? | 06:19 |
| ulx | crimsun: what do u suggest? | 06:19 |
| reijo01 | sobralense no, I just got the adapator and installed ubuntu 4.10 fresh this morning | 06:20 |
| sobralense | reijo01, is it an usb adapter?! | 06:20 |

| reijo01 | yes it is usb | 06:20 |

| linux_mafia | new-ubuntu, its just called "nero burning rom" in the menu iirc | 06:20 |
| crimsun | ulx: using ALSA 1.0.7, which means you'll need the 'build-essential' and 'kernel-package' packages installed | 06:21 |

| linux_mafia | nuOpus, yep | 07:00 |
| nuOpus | good stuff .... I liked the thumbs down | 07:00 |

| linux_mafia | nuOpus, just gonna say that | 07:00 |
| nuOpus | especially with the #debian room ... its true. I tend to like the people here more than in the debian channel | 07:00 |
| poof | yea, I will try google again, perhaps an ubuntu forum search this time too... | 07:00 |
| nuOpus | Anyone else excited to see the new ATI drivers being released next week? | 07:01 |

| Finity | I have ATI | 07:01 |
| nuOpus | daniels ... an ubuntu developer posted he already has the ati drivers version 8.08 ready and packaged | 07:01 |
| nuOpus | he is just waiting for ATI to give the goahead | 07:02 |
| poof | That is neat, I can finaly dump this Nvidia 5500FX :) hope the drivers work well, te 9800pro is very nice in windows... | 07:02 |

| Finity | I have a 9600 | 07:03 |
| poof | wow! so ATI releasing 64bit drivers for linux too? This would be verry nice !!! | 07:03 |
| nuOpus | it will work | 07:03 |
| broodster | poof really? | 07:03 |
| nuOpus | ya that was the deb for the 64 bit version poof | 07:03 |

| randabis-wireles | lol | 07:07 |
| randabis-wireles | new ati drivers? | 07:07 |
| poof | yea next week | 07:07 |
| randabis-wireles | ah | 07:07 |
| nuOpus | xvlun: well .... I dont believe a thing ATI says ... again they did say December. BUT ... I do trust daniels .. an Ubuntu developer who says they are already packaged and he has tested them | 07:07 |
| === poof dances on his CPU case | ||
| randabis-wireles | the last round of ati drivers improved performance, so hopefully these ones will too for the ati guys | 07:07 |

| xvlun | yaeh, and ati just released the patchset to make them run with 2.6.10, but i fear they'll suck again | 07:08 |
| randabis-wireles | heh | 07:08 |
| daniels | i think this 'daniels' guy is fairly trustworthy | 07:08 |
| nuOpus | xvlun: Probably true. But at least they will work to power my screen savers without jerking! | 07:08 |
| nuOpus | lol | 07:08 |
| randabis-wireles | well after many headaches, hoary is finally completely working | 07:09 |
| poof | I hope they are as easy to install as the nvidia drivers | 07:09 |
| nuOpus | randabis-wireles: Ya ... I am using hoary too. Installed from a Hoary test CD which worked great! | 07:09 |
| andreas_ | how can i get my mplayer size to get bigger | 07:09 |
| crimsun | andreas_: -xy or -zoom | 07:09 |

| randabis-wireles | spent all night getting it to work correctly...hehe now finally we're good to go | 07:10 |
| nuOpus | andreas_: Are you using the xv video out? You can edit the /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf file to change vo to xv and it will work better if your card supports it | 07:10 |
| nuOpus | andreas_: Then you can just press f and have it go full screen. | 07:10 |

| randabis-wireles | now just gotta get around to unpacking the main box and connecting it so I can update that to hoary as well | 07:19 |
| nuOpus | JDahl: ATI Radeon 9800 works WITHOUT 3D accel | 07:19 |

| nuOpus | linux_mafia: ya... I installed from those ... I did find one issue with them though | 07:24 |
| linux_mafia | nuOpus, what was that? | 07:25 |
| nuOpus | linux_mafia: If you say not to download packages from the internet it will try to install from the cache that was copied from the CD. BUT it says that it is not authenticated because there is no key?? | 07:25 |
| nuOpus | and then fails to install any of them | 07:25 |
| Ensiferum | can anyone explain how the fuck this NIS thing is supposed to distribute the user data? :| | 07:26 |

| Ensiferum | linux_mafia: if i add a new user to my NIS server, i dont get how that user account is usable from the clients. I have gathered from the messy docs, that the client machine will consult with the NIS server for the authentication, but then what? the client machine doesnt even have a home folder setup for the user... | 07:28 |
| linux_mafia | Ensiferum, oh god | 07:29 |
| Ensiferum | linux_mafia: hum? :| | 07:29 |
| nuOpus | Ensiferum: You must unleash the Ubuntu gopher people that live underground to construct each home for you! DUH! | 07:29 |
| linux_mafia | Ensiferum, ok home dirs are distributed through nfs normally, and you can have a home dir created on first log in | 07:29 |
| linux_mafia | Ensiferum, personally though, id go for ldap as opposed to nis | 07:30 |
| Ensiferum | linux_mafia: why? | 07:30 |
| linux_mafia | Ensiferum, you can secure it more easily, use it in conjunction with kerberos etc, and it is the way forward, nis is archaic, its just that it generally "just works" tm, heh | 07:31 |
| drspin | I just installed tla -- what configuration do I need to do before I use it? | 07:32 |
| Ensiferum | linux_mafia: i see. | 07:32 |

| nuOpus | nirr: The Gentoo install on laptop is using GNOME | 07:47 |
| nirr | btw | 07:47 |
| nuOpus | tidalwav: Hmmmm I got mine working . used the newest one though | 07:48 |
| JDahl | nuOpus, me neither, so why is everyone proclaiming GNOME to be dead and KDE the desktop of the future? | 07:48 |
| nirr | can i compile ubunto from the begining .. | 07:48 |

| trey3 | JDahl: because they took too much acid? KDE has no corporate backing... it will never be the primary desktop for Linux :/ | 07:48 |
| nirr | i'm using slack ... and dependcy is taking lots of me time | 07:49 |
| xvlun2 | one question, ubuntu is using debian software, isn't it? | 07:49 |
| trey3 | nirr: slapt-get or swaret are your friends... | 07:49 |
| tidalwav | nu0: I could try that....my card is on ndiswrapper's HCL | 07:49 |
| nirr | gnome got coparate backing ? | 07:49 |
| nuOpus | nirr: You will like Ubuntu. But if you like the up-to-date nature of Gentoo as a primary feature ... then try Hoary | 07:49 |
| nirr | no | 07:49 |
| da_bon_bon | how do i get firefox to always start maximized ? | 07:49 |

| nirr | hehe | 07:49 |
| Finity | maxamize it | 07:50 |
| nirr | and i hate bugs | 07:50 |
| Finity | then close it | 07:50 |
| Finity | and re-open | 07:50 |
| randabis-wireles | then use debian stable :p | 07:50 |
| Finity | close ALL firefox windows BTW | 07:50 |
| trey3 | nirr: not at all... GNOME is very good at staying usable throughout devel period | 07:50 |
| nuOpus | tidalwav: Just uninstall the debs you got ... download the new source, unpack and just type make install | 07:50 |
| tidalwav | nu0: no ./configure? | 07:50 |
| nuOpus | tidalwav: Get rid of ndiswrapper tools too though ... as the tools will be built too | 07:50 |
| nirr | whats the main diff between ubuntu and debian ? | 07:50 |
| nuOpus | tidalwav: nope | 07:50 |
| randabis-wireles | gnome is being ported to windows I've heard | 07:50 |
| tidalwav | nu0: k, I'll try | 07:50 |
| nirr | (20:51:05) <randabis-wireles> gnome is being ported to windows I've heard ????? | 07:50 |
| nirr | wtf ? | 07:50 |
| trey3 | nirr: release planning I would say. | 07:51 |
| randabis-wireles | yeah | 07:51 |
| nuOpus | nirr: One difference is the Debian community sucks | 07:51 |
| randabis-wireles | there's a project at sourceforge | 07:51 |
| nirr | show me | 07:51 |
| nirr | hehe | 07:51 |
| lemao | booting shows first grub screen and nothing else happens. What to do? | 07:51 |
| Ribs | nirr, ubuntu just gets stuff done, debian tends to get itself caught up in trying to do all things at once | 07:51 |
| nirr | oki.. i'll try ubunto | 07:51 |
| nirr | you got me | 07:51 |
| Finity | did you get that da_bon_bon? | 07:51 |

| lemao | basically, I think I screwed my grub conf/install and it wont boot my ubuntu isntall anymore. I need to know how to reconf/reinst grub to make it boot again | 07:58 |
| Ensiferum | grrr. i think i'm just gonna ditch NIS and manually take care of syncin the groups and users. | 07:58 |
| nuOpus | tidalwav: Just go to synaptic, search for linux-headers | 07:58 |
| trey3 | tidalwav: its a large o not a 0 ;) | 07:58 |
| nuOpus | and install the one that matches YOUR version | 07:58 |
| randabis-wireles | lemao you'll need a rescure disk to access your ubuntu install | 07:59 |
| trey3 | tidalwav: if you don't want linux-headers... remove linux-$ARCH | 07:59 |
| randabis-wireles | then you can probably just do update-grub | 07:59 |
| nuOpus | tidalwav: If you are not sure ... just do a uname -r | 07:59 |

| jeronimo | I use my desktop PC as a router providing NAT for my notebook -- the desktop PC has two network interfaces -- eth1 connected to the internet and eth0 connected to my notebook. | 08:25 |

When I connect the cable to my notebook again the interface is still down and my notebook (W2K) does not see network running. :( I have to run "ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0" to be able to | 08:25 |

| new-ubuntu | I am a begginer with Ubuntu and linux, I really enjoyed the live cd and would like to install | 08:32 |
| thully | plus, MEPIS doesn't fork the package pool like Ubuntu - they use testing/unstable, which can cause issues | 08:32 |
| lek | the install is very simple new-ubuntu | 08:32 |
| nuOpus | jeronimo: Go to your /etc/network/interfaces line and comment the line that says map eth0 under the hotplug mapping | 08:32 |

| linux_mafia | netmonk, youll have to read up how, i did it before but forgot now, you can put certain commands in the /etc/sudoers file so no password is required for that app | 11:37 |

| nirai | sorry but no gui I know of. | 11:42 |
| Seq | Basttrax: there is code to allow writing to ntfs files, but you can't resize them at all, just change them. so in a pinch you could create a file that is 4 gigs (from windows) on your ntfs partition, then come to linux and format that file with a filesystem, then mount it using loopback. but thats a PITA, and you'd probably be better off looking into ways to shrink the ntfs partition | 11:42 |
| HrdwrBoB | nirai: put that line in /etc/sudoers | 11:42 |
| HrdwrBoB | er netmonk | 11:42 |

| mroth | there is a program called 'ntfsresize' that is supposed to do a really good job resizing ntfs partitions | 11:44 |
| HrdwrBoB | Basttrax: get any bootable CD with parted (pref qtparted, it's GUI and easy) and it will let you delete windows and extend the ext3 parttition | 11:44 |
| PurpleFly | Basttrax: also lookup captive-ntfs | 11:44 |
| nicedreams | i'm thinking it's an nvidia driver thing | 11:44 |

| linux_mafia | netmonk, heh, it goes in the /etc/sudoers file | 11:44 |
| nicedreams | i changed ram/graphic card and hard drive | 11:44 |
| nicedreams | this is a new install of ubuntu also | 11:44 |

| netmonk | linux_mafia, does it matter on which line? | 11:45 |
| nicedreams | i have nvidia card using official nvidia drivers | 11:45 |
| nicedreams | might that be a problem? | 11:45 |
| Seq | PurpleFly: the write ntfs code in the kernel only supports modifying files, you can't add, expand, or delete. its pretty useless unless you're working on files with a fixed length | 11:45 |
| mon_ | andreas_: you're using xmms? | 11:45 |
| nicedreams | it says something about problems with rivafb being in the kernel | 11:45 |
| andreas_ | yes sir | 11:46 |

| mon_ | nicedreams: well, _a_ readme, i'm sure i've read it before :) | 11:47 |
| Seq | PurpleFly: yeah, but depending on a solution like that for a major part of your system (ie, a filesystem) isn't such a great idea imho. | 11:47 |
| andreas_ | i never installed xmms, thats the strange part about it | 11:47 |
| zensamsara | if i disconnect / disable it, i can boot to CD and enter the BIOS setup | 11:47 |
| mon_ | nicedreams: you'll get 2 conflicting drivers then | 11:47 |

| zensamsara | Gwildor, let me see | 11:49 |
| zensamsara | HrdwrBoB, but it was working perfectly right before i installed ubuntu | 11:49 |
| nicedreams | mon_, inside the xorg.conf that you have to remove and change "nv" to "nvidia" | 11:49 |
| Seq | "Project is no longer developed. The key functionality is reached by the latest released version", then right after it says "Mounting of NTFS devices usually works, but is no longer supported by the author of Captive" | 11:49 |
| HrdwrBoB | zensamsara: ubuntu being installed is, in this case, a bit of a red herring | 11:49 |

| Gwildor | zensamsara: kinda like ubuntu caused, but only do to circumstances, it could have happened no matter what you tried to install | 11:50 |
| mon_ | maybe you should just log everything out, log in as normal user and start xmms (maybe change a setting in there) then everything should be alright | 11:50 |
| zensamsara | Gwildor, i see, so my hd is probably nuked beyond repair? | 11:51 |
