| calc | Greves: there is no point, i used it a short while 4-5 years ago, but found it was very lacking in major areas and very slow as well | 09:43 |
| HappyFool | sabdfl: try 'help ulimit' (assuming you're using bash -- don't know other shells) | 09:43 |
| jdub | sabdfl: ulimit -c unlimited | 09:44 |
| jdub | sabdfl: then run the program | 09:44 |
| Greves | calc: what major areas would those be? | 09:44 |
| jdub | sabdfl: ulimit -a should tell you the state of core file size limit on the first line | 09:45 |
| calc | package management | 09:45 |
| calc | and some other things i don't recall, i just found it to be a major step backwards from deb/rpm based dists | 09:45 |
| jdub | $ man ulimit | 09:45 |
| jdub | No manual entry for ulimit | 09:45 |
| jdub | ^ hoary | 09:45 |
| jdub | ... | 09:45 |
| jdub | BUG! | 09:45 |
| calc | things like configuration of programs, etc | 09:45 |
| calc | and if its a phallic thing lfs gets you a lot farther than gentoo can | 09:46 |
| sabdfl | jdub: that's what bit me too | 09:46 |
| jdub | hrm, ulimit is a shell internal | 09:46 |
| HappyFool | 'help ulimit' | 09:46 |
| sabdfl | thanks all | 09:46 |
| jdub | HappyFool: yeah | 09:47 |
| Greves | calc: so why use ubuntu not lfs? | 09:47 |
| calc | i would recommend someone that really wanted to learn linux to use lfs over a regular dist as well, but for ease of use the others are better | 09:47 |
| fabbione | jdub: ulimit is an internal sh. there is no man page. | 09:47 |
| calc | Greves: because i already know linux, been using it over 10 years, etc | 09:47 |
| fabbione | jdub: well there is an ulimit(3) | 09:47 |
| Greves | calc: ease of use = hence, why gentoo is better | 09:47 |
| fabbione | jdub: otherwise man <shell> | 09:47 |
| jdub | fabbione: yeah, just dawning on that | 09:48 |
| Greves | IMO, anyway, i can't say that compared to ubuntu since i haven't used it | 09:48 |
| sabdfl | is it safe to send a core file upstream for examination, or should I check for passwords etc first? | 09:48 |
| mebaran | Could anyone help me set up the w32codecs in AMD64? | 09:48 |
| calc | lfs/gentoo have no real point over learning and ease of use in learning is a detriment | 09:48 |
| calc | since you don't learn as much ;) | 09:48 |
| Greves | haha | 09:48 |
| mebaran | I checked the repoes and tried to manually force it into a usr/lib/win32 direcotry | 09:48 |

| Greves | calc: does ubuntu haev a package management system? | 09:49 |
| sabdfl | Greves: hell yes | 09:49 |
| Greves | jdub: thats not exactly true... lfs is repetitive, yes, but you do learn alot along the way | 09:49 |
| mebaran | Greeves: the best | 09:49 |
| Greves | hmmm how does this "best" package management system work? does it have as many options as debian? | 09:49 |
| calc | jdub: true, lfs didn't exist when i started using linux so i just learned from a book and slackware 2 | 09:49 |
| HappyFool | Greves: ubuntu is based on debian. ubuntu uses apt | 09:50 |
| bob2 | mebaran: er, they won't do anything on amd64 | 09:50 |
| Greves | so how is it better than debian's apt? | 09:50 |
| HappyFool | err | 09:50 |
| calc | but from looking at it a few years ago it did seem to make the user aware of things like how building under linux actually works, etc | 09:50 |
| jdub | Greves: it *is* debian's apt. | 09:50 |
| HappyFool | it's the same, i think ;) | 09:50 |
| calc | which gentoo hides for the most part | 09:50 |
| bob2 | Greves: it *is* debian's apt | 09:50 |
| Greves | so ubuntu = debian ? | 09:50 |
| calc | though with gentoo you still get the downside of it taking forever to get packages installed | 09:50 |

| calc | jdub: rotflmao, yea i guess that is a good point, perhaps it should include some more chapters explaining better what you are actually doing | 09:51 |
| calc | Greves: and you save more time with those optimized builds than you wasted by building them in the first place? | 09:52 |
| Greves | calc: sure, i do it while i sleep if its something that will take a while | 09:52 |
| jdub | Greves: choosing your own compiler options just means you *have* to build stuff, not that it will work better/faster. :-) | 09:52 |
| calc | if your system is always building packages you are wasting most of your cycles on that so the 1% speed improvement in the app isn't going to be noticed at all | 09:52 |
| calc | even going from i386 -> amd64 compiling doesn't do that huge of a speed up from i386 -> i686 probably gains well under 5% | 09:53 |
| jdub | i was amazed how many people crammed silly compiler options into GARNOME and ran everything slower than it would if they used the normal boring options :) | 09:53 |
| calc | i wouldn't be surprised if 1% is exaggerating the benefit | 09:53 |
| Greves | lol jdub :P | 09:53 |
| bob2 | haha | 09:53 |
| bob2 | or the way people blithely use -ffast-math | 09:53 |
| bob2 | and -fomit-frame-pointer | 09:54 |
| Greves | they're telling me in #gentoo that ubuntu is lacking severly in amount of packages and working packages that are available | 09:54 |
| jdub | Greves: it has roughly as many as debian, since all of debian is compiled for it | 09:54 |
| bob2 | yes, #gentoo is often confused | 09:54 |
| calc | last i checked ubuntu had 12K+ packages | 09:54 |

| Greves | i'm still unsure as to why you guys prefer ubuntu to debian | 09:57 |
| Greves | debian seems free, community-esque, and has lots of packages | 09:57 |
| jdub | Greves: the number one important thing about gentoo is that it has lowered the bar to contribution | 09:57 |
| jdub | Greves: which is precisely what ubuntu is attempting to do for debian | 09:57 |
| calc | Greves: because the main debian guys all got hired by canonical so they work mostly on ubuntu :) | 09:57 |
| nevyn | Greves: the release cycle is a problem. | 09:57 |
| nevyn | ubuntu has the same packages that debian has plus a few more. | 09:58 |
| Greves | hmm | 09:58 |
| Greves | i may have to try this so-called "ubuntu" | 09:58 |
| calc | ubutnu only officially supports about 2000 packages which helps it to release more often | 09:58 |

| Greves | is my current set up ok for installing ubuntu? i have 4 partitions, 1st is winxp, 2nd is /boot, 3rd is swap, and 4th is for / | 10:10 |
| bob2 | yes | 10:10 |
| bob2 | there's no need for /boot on a seperate partition, tho | 10:10 |
| jdub | Greves: you're installing over that, or adding more partitions? | 10:10 |
| Greves | jdub: well i hadn't had gentoo installed yet, i was just about to start when i came in here | 10:11 |
| jdub | Greves: if you've got four primary partitions, you won't be able to add extended/logical partitions | 10:11 |
| Greves | jdub: not a problem, i dont need any | 10:11 |
| jdub | Greves: ok. recommend putting swap at the end of the disk. | 10:11 |
| Greves | oh yeah? | 10:11 |
| Greves | hmmm can i mess around in fdisk as long as i dont touch hda1, and not harm winxp? | 10:11 |
| jdub | it won't be fdisk, but yes | 10:12 |
| calc | jdub: putting it at the end makes it faster, or for some other reason? | 10:12 |

| froust | how can i find out where my swap is mounted (in relation to the drive) | 10:12 |
| froust | i think i put it at the end | 10:13 |

| froust | aah | 10:15 |
| froust | thanks | 10:15 |
| Greves | jdub so i'll delete a2 a3 a4, make a2 = /, a3 = swap, and thats ok? (neither bootable, winxp is boot) | 10:15 |
| jdub | Greves: sure. | 10:16 |
| jdub | Greves: or you could delete the partitions and say "use free space" in the partitioner | 10:16 |
| jdub | winxp will automatically be added to the grub menu | 10:16 |
| Greves | cool | 10:16 |
| Greves | where do i download the 5mb version? | 10:16 |

| calc | can you stick swap inside a lvm? | 10:18 |
| calc | hmm nm you can't boot directly out of a lvm | 10:18 |
| jdub | you can use a swap file instead of a swap partition ;) | 10:18 |

| Moiana | first, kyle is LaTeX, not a meta-language as Lyx. | 12:09 |
| Moiana | so, you really edit the LaTeX file, which is pure-text and you can also edit on emacs, DOS' edit, anything | 12:10 |
| Moiana | aethera: #define <ruby> | 12:10 |
| aethera | the programming language | 12:10 |
| Moiana | topyli : thus, you end up learning actuall LaTeX | 12:10 |
| Moiana | aethera: not much of a programmer here, just the basics for the daily life.... a "hello world", a kernel compile and some PHP. :) | 12:11 |
| topyli | Moiana: yes. and with LyX, you end up learning LaTeX because you do need to insert commands all the time :) | 12:11 |
| Moiana | topyli: depends on what you are doing.. the class I use (abntex) defines pretty much everything I need. I rarely needed to use commands inside Lyx | 12:12 |

| Silensius | during install ubuntu it says where put the loader how i can says in MBR please ? | 12:44 |
| jdub | no | 12:44 |
| Greves | that stinks | 12:45 |
| sladen | Greves: you can go to the menu and change the background/foreground colours; personally, I make it gray-on-black | 12:45 |
| Greves | i will have to play with the kernel a bit then ;) | 12:45 |
| Greves | sladen: menu? | 12:45 |
| jdub | Silensius: how did you start the installer? it shouldn't ask that | 12:45 |
| sladen | Greves: you can give grub a boot image if you want | 12:45 |
| jdub | sladen: he's talking about the console... | 12:45 |
| Silensius | whit iso cd | 12:45 |
| Silensius | warty installer | 12:45 |
| sladen | Greves: can I ask you a couple of questions about how you'd like a default system to boot | 12:46 |
| Greves | sladen: sure | 12:46 |
| jdub | Silensius: did you just press enter to start it, or did you type something? | 12:46 |
| sladen | Greves: would you like (a) Graphical Grub (b) Graphical bootup (c) Graphical X ... or some combination | 12:46 |
| Greves | jdub: ubuntu-desktop might be it, there are 18 new packages to install | 12:46 |
| Greves | sladen: i would like it to boot up with a splash screen on grub and a vga enabled console, for use with links2 graphical mode | 12:47 |
| Greves | not necessarily x or gdm or anything on boot | 12:47 |
| sladen | Greves: and do you mind about video-mode changing? (eg, don't to set grub to anything but 640x480 in case the monitor is changed or doesn't support it | 12:47 |
| aethera | eish samba is so slow | 12:47 |
| Greves | sladen: i would like the option to change that during the installer | 12:47 |
| jdub | sladen: what happens if you have a grub image set up and the 'press esc' thing turned on? | 12:48 |
| jdub | sladen: will it still paint the image? | 12:48 |
| Greves | jdub: can i edit the .list for universe while apt-get is installing stuff | 12:48 |
| sladen | Greves: okay, so you're probably not a good example :-). I don't know an question in the installer is an option---Ubuntu is trying really hold to avoid as many questions as possible in the installer | 12:49 |

| sladen | Greves: the mouse goes through /dev/input/mice. Can you file a bug on http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/ that GPM needs to be taught to read from that | 12:51 |
| jdub | Greves: the installer will stay as is, with a full desktop by default or base system if you type 'server'. | 12:51 |

| === ToTo [~ToTo@host177-133.pool8254.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| HappyFool | t325: what error message do you get? | 01:39 |
| t325 | (I can access the partition, but no differences between dirs and files, a dir is a 0kb file..) | 01:39 |
| Greves | i think i dont like the fact that ubuntu is based around gnome, or that it auto-loads gnome. that is a turn off | 01:40 |
| t325 | first I tried to copy the linux partition line, just with modifiying fs type, but this gave me fsck with lots of errors on boot.. /dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults 0 1 | 01:40 |
| chibifs | Greves - The point is for it to be gnome/gtk based. | 01:41 |
| Greves | maybe thats why i dont like it then | 01:41 |
| Greves | i much prefer minimal - flux, xfce... | 01:42 |
| chibifs | XFCE is good. ^_^ | 01:42 |
| chibifs | I'd love to see an XFCE-based distro, but it's much easier to just install XFCE over ubuntu from os-works.com ^.^ | 01:43 |
| rob0 | I don't understand why one would base an opinion on a default configuration, when it is easy to remake it in your own image .. | 01:43 |
| chibifs | I hang out with the devs over there alot. | 01:43 |
| t325 | so then I copied the line for the floppy, removing the noauto option and setting fs to vfat, and here I'm stuck with 0kb dirs.. | 01:43 |
| Greves | rob0: i also said i dont like the system management so far | 01:43 |
| Greves | portage gives better control, i feel | 01:44 |
| bob2 | Greves: how? | 01:44 |
| jdub | chibifs: do you work on xfce, btw? | 01:44 |
| rob0 | Greves, yes, that is a valid point, although whether or not portage is "more control" is questionalble | 01:44 |
| t325 | about sys managment is there anything to configure fstab automatically? | 01:44 |
| Ileden | chiibifs: I'm real interested in XFCE, are there some instructions on how to install it under ubuntu? | 01:44 |
| bob2 | t325: not yet | 01:44 |
| jdub | rob0: because the default configuration says quite a lot about the goals of the distro :-) | 01:44 |
| chibifs | jdub - Not a codemonkey, but I have some stuff in the XFLD .2 distro. | 01:45 |
| jdub | oh right | 01:45 |
| jdub | chibifs: what did you hack on? | 01:45 |
| === toffy [~bjorn@252.80-203-104.nextgentel.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| chibifs | Nothing code related, like I said. I help correct to some english, did the dusk theme in XFLD, and made a few plugins that put gnome-system-tools in the settings manager. | 01:46 |
| chibifs | Ileden, go to os-works.com, add the debian repositories there to your apt. | 01:46 |
| chibifs | They'll work fine on hoary. | 01:47 |
| jazzorist | xfce is also in the backports | 01:47 |
| Greves | rob0: i like the USE variables idea, and the amount of control portage gives you over what dependencies are installed, what versions are installed, multi-version management, etc etc. its very obvious using portage... there is one command: emerge, and you can do everything all in 1 line if you want. this seems more... bulky? i dont know the way to describe it. for example: emerge vs apt-cache apt-cdrom apt-config apt-extracttemplates apt-ftpa | 01:47 |
| chibifs | I perfer the different commands. | 01:48 |
| Ileden | chibifs, thanks! I'll take a look. Although I need a bit more linux experience before I'm going try using another desktop system, though... | 01:48 |
| bob2 | Greves: no, users don't use any of those aside from apt-get and apt-cache | 01:48 |
| Greves | thats what i dont like about it! | 01:49 |
| chibifs | Ileden, have you ever used Blackbox or Litestep on Windows? | 01:49 |
| Greves | you just said it | 01:49 |
| Greves | users don't use any of those... | 01:49 |
| bob2 | Greves: er, because they don't need to | 01:49 |
| Greves | exactly! | 01:49 |
| bob2 | Greves: do you ever invoke ld? | 01:49 |
| Ileden | chibifs, nope. | 01:49 |
| Greves | ubuntu installed a TON of stuff i dont need | 01:49 |
| bob2 | Greves: um, maintainer scripts call them | 01:49 |
| chibifs | Greves - That's possibly because you didn't use the custom install method? ^_^ | 01:50 |
| Greves | emacs, nano, openoffice, arcade games????, xfree86 (prefer xorg), to name a very very few | 01:50 |
| jdub | Greves: you can uninstall it easily enough | 01:50 |
| rob0 | I am a Slacker ... "./configure $OPTS && make && sudo checkinstall" ... that's total control. :) I see your point, that with portage you can tweak things prior to install, but I haven't been around a Debian-type system long enough to know if it would be a problem. | 01:50 |
| Greves | you told me not to :P | 01:50 |
| bob2 | Greves: you did the default install, you got a default install | 01:50 |
| jdub | Greves: custom would have installed the base system without any desktop integration at all | 01:50 |

| bob2 | righ | 01:51 |
| bob2 | t | 01:51 |
| Greves | rob0: LFS my friend ;) did it once, not again. total control is different than easily controllable | 01:51 |
| Ileden | chibifs, I've used XFCE on our university classroom, though. | 01:51 |
| Ileden | chibifs, and I liked the minimalistic feel. | 01:52 |
| Greves | Ileden: i reccomend *box | 01:52 |
| Greves | especially flux or open | 01:52 |

| nevyn | you also need kdelibs and kdebase and all this other stuff that's in cvs. | 02:58 |
| aurora | crimsun, yea | 02:58 |
| aurora | but thats more work than i want to do | 02:58 |
| crimsun | aurora: you'll need 'menu-xdg' additionally | 02:58 |
| jdub | nevyn: this is not entirely different from gnome, dude | 02:59 |
| aurora | or i can use windowmaker | 02:59 |
| aurora | lol | 02:59 |
| Riddell | nevyn: of course you can: cvs co -l kdebase && cvs co kdebase/konsole | 02:59 |

| jdub | almost all of that memory is shared | 03:00 |
| aurora | aah | 03:00 |
| aurora | thats kind of silly isnt it jdub ? | 03:00 |
| jdub | no | 03:00 |
| scylax | is there an equivalent to the kde control+alt+supr in gnome? | 03:00 |
| jdub | nevyn: what kind of separate do you mean? | 03:00 |
| aurora | scylax, taskman.exe | 03:00 |
| scylax | ta gueule | 03:00 |
| jdub | nevyn: they're all separate cvs modules, have their own build systems, etc. | 03:00 |
| aurora | jdub, you guys should threaten ati to make xorg 6.8 drivers | 03:01 |
| nevyn | jdub: without tracking cvs of.. libpango, bonobo(or whatever your using now) libgnome etc | 03:01 |
| jdub | nevyn: (i know a few gnome maintainers who are now using hoary's gnome 2.9 and just building their own modules, rather than using jhbuild or garnome) | 03:01 |
| jdub | nevyn: well, if the module requires new, possibly unreleased, versions, then yes you would. | 03:01 |
| jdub | nevyn: that generally happens in between gnome tarball release days | 03:02 |
| nevyn | ok. I still stand by the c++ thing tho. | 03:02 |

| aurora | they both suck | 03:06 |
| aurora | for that | 03:06 |
| Josip | . | 03:06 |
| jdub | nevyn: potentially worse, given that we're shipping gnome 2.9 | 03:07 |
| jdub | nevyn: for instance, evolution is often quite unstable during gnome devel releases | 03:07 |
| jdub | but it hasn't been part of the process for very long | 03:07 |
| nevyn | hrm | 03:07 |
| jdub | so that'll get better | 03:07 |

| njs12345 | jdub: one of the reasons why I switched to hoary was because Evolution crashed for me on warty | 03:08 |

| Kleggas | so, how come I can't mount a simple usb-memory then? why does it mess with me about the filesystem type? it is vfat, I checked in windows, and I even reformated it with fat32...still I get error. does anyone here havd this problem? | 04:29 |

| kent | souki, well, an issue with update-manager. the columns in it have a fixed size, and i dont think it should be like that, since then its impossible to see some package-names /descriptions. Maximising the windows dont work, since the size is fixed. | 04:29 |

| robertj | there are a few other Modes with that name, any suggestions? | 04:38 |

| noda | Actually, these drop-shadows *do* seem to be rather quick. | 09:05 |

| noda | Now, if only Debian had xorg, so I could have windows fading in/out on my desktop. | 09:06 |
| randabis | that's bad | 09:06 |
| noda | (fade in/out is too slow on the laptop) | 09:06 |
| mz2 | noda, well exactly... just wait for a few months to let first of all ATi release drivers for X.org, then a few months that the composite extension starts to work stably and then a few until window managers can take some use of it sensibly :) | 09:06 |
| randabis | maybe your dist-upgrade didn't finish completely | 09:06 |
| benjanet | ok | 09:06 |
| noda | mz2: lol | 09:06 |
| echo | I need some help with NFS server settings - I can mount local , that is on same machine but not from other machnine the ubuntu nfs-kernel-service | 09:07 |

| noda | MikeyF: If you can log in on the text console, type "tail /var/log/auth.log and try to recognize the previous, failed login. | 09:50 |
| crimsun | sanzky: linux-source-2.6.8.1 | 09:50 |

| sanzky | soy I need to change to unestable mi sources.list to get xorg? | 10:17 |
| noda | spiral: Yes, but for regular users... | 10:17 |
| tritium | I'd boot into single user mode | 10:17 |
| Mikey | noda: it isn't? | 10:17 |
| tritium | and then change the user's password | 10:17 |
| spiral | noda: bah... regular users don't lose their passwords because their password is "foo" | 10:17 |
| noda | __learner__: Go to Places -> CD Creator | 10:17 |

| tritium | Mikey, reboot and choose one of the boot stanzas that says "recovery mode" | 10:19 |
| tritium | then you can change the user's password | 10:19 |
| noda | Mikey: The best way, I think: from your *boot* menu, edit the kernel commandline ("e"): append "init=/bin/bash", then press B to boot. When it's booted, type "passwd [user] " and enter a new password. | 10:19 |
| spiral | noda: on windows, unless you create a password recovery floppy, it is even harder... | 10:19 |
| noda | spiral: Tell me about it. There are Linux recovery CDs that can help, though, ironically :) | 10:20 |

| thechris1721 | noda: i like the 2.4 ones much better | 10:21 |
| tritium | Mikey, you're using grub, right? You've seen the option to boot into "recovery mode"? | 10:21 |
| thechris1721 | noda: the news ones are too confusing | 10:21 |
| noda | thechris1721: GNOME 2.4, or GTK 2.4? | 10:21 |

| spiral | Riddell: ouah... this is quite strange :-p | 10:22 |
| noda | thechris1721: There's no way to change back to the old dialogs. You must be the only person in the world to actually prefer them, though :) | 10:22 |
| tritium | thanks, noda :) | 10:22 |
| Mikey | tritium: but how to change it in that | 10:22 |
| stuNNed | does alsaconf work with Ubuntu ok? | 10:22 |
| thechris1721 | i seriously doubt that | 10:22 |
| thechris1721 | i know others who don't like it too... | 10:23 |
| tritium | Mikey, do you recall when you boot that you can press "Esc" to see a boot menu? | 10:23 |
| noda | thechris1721: Anyway, you're gonna have to live with the new ones. Set bookmarks, use Ctrl-L, and I guarantee you'll see that they're better. | 10:23 |

| Mikey | tritium: I don' | 10:23 |
| thechris1721 | i don't like the "browse for other folders" part. | 10:23 |
| Mikey | I don't know | 10:23 |
| noda | thechris1721: Don't use it, then. Just use bookmarks :) | 10:23 |
| noda | thechris1721: The whole point is that you never need to use it, that's why it's folded away | 10:24 |
| tritium | Mikey, okay, no problem. When you reboot, you'll have about 3 seconds to press "Esc" | 10:24 |
| Mikey | yes? | 10:24 |
| Mikey | but | 10:24 |
| thechris1721 | noda: why didn't the gnome devs put in ANYTHING for backwards compatibility? | 10:24 |
| noda | thechris1721: Become a dev, and then ask that. | 10:24 |
| tritium | Mikey, do so. Then, you can use the arrow key to select the kernel that says "recovery mode" | 10:24 |
| Mikey | okay | 10:24 |
| thechris1721 | noda: no, i know what happens already... | 10:24 |
| Mikey | and then? | 10:24 |
| Mikey | sorry if im annoying, but im really new to it :$ | 10:24 |
| noda | thechris1721: It comes down to this: some dev somewhere would have to believe that the old ones are worth keeping. | 10:25 |
| tritium | Mikey, then you'll have to boot that kernel (press B or return, I believe) | 10:25 |
| Mikey | return? | 10:25 |
| tritium | I believe so... | 10:25 |
| noda | thechris1721: Besides the awful UI, they had several flaws. For example, there was no way to have stuff like "files of type *.png" or similar. | 10:25 |
| Mikey | what is return? | 10:25 |
| tritium | Enter | 10:25 |
| Mikey | enter> | 10:25 |
| Mikey | lol k | 10:25 |
| thechris1721 | noda: but the layout was more straight forward. | 10:26 |
| noda | thechris1721: So a new API (backend) was implemented, and therefore the frontend would have to be rewritten from scratch again. | 10:26 |
| === keith_ [~keith@h000f668cec85.ne.client2.attbi.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| noda | thechris1721: So nobody is going to bother. Not only would they have to rewrite the code, but they'd also have to keep it up to date. | 10:26 |
| thechris1721 | noda: do you know of any patches to fix the dialogs, or at least pop them up with "browse for other folders" already clicked? | 10:26 |
| === kerskine [~keith@h000f668cec85.ne.client2.attbi.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| noda | thechris1721: I don't, sorry. | 10:27 |
| Mikey | passwd? hmmm okay | 10:27 |
| noda | thechris1721: You do realize that you can put any folders you want into your "bookmarks" and they'll show up in the drop-down, right? | 10:27 |
| tritium | Mikey, e.g., if your user's name is "mikey", type "passwd mikey" | 10:27 |
| thechris1721 | noda: ok, fair enough, i guess i'll just stick with kde. | 10:27 |
| === node [~node@node500.demon.nl] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Mikey | tritium: that will set up a pwd "mikey" for user "mikey"? | 10:28 |
| noda | thechris1721: Anyway. The point is, developers will often say "if you want it done, do it yourself"... and it *can* get annoying to users... but who's going to develop something for free that he will never use -- something he'd even *dislike*? | 10:28 |
| === lukas [~lukas@mnsr-d9baef8d.pool.mediaWays.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| thechris1721 | noda: well, the current dialogs aren't very good, i was hoping for better in 2.8 | 10:29 |
| noda | thechris1721: How long have you used them? | 10:29 |
| noda | thechris1721: They are going to change very little in the next few years, because everybody loves them :) | 10:29 |
| tritium | Mikey, you can "ls /home" to see if there are any user home directories, and also check "/etc/passwd" for the username you tried to setup. | 10:29 |

| noda | thechris1721: What did you find annoying? Maybe there are tricks you haven't noticed. | 10:31 |
| thechris1721 | noda: everytime i had to save a file it literally took 30 seconds because of the shock | 10:31 |

| thechris1721 | noda: no, i really think that more people would use gnome if it were more useable. | 10:35 |
| tritium | Mikey, nevermind. We'll go with the command-line tools. | 10:35 |
| noda | thechris1721: That's precisely why the new dialogs are there. They have indeed drawn many more people to GNOME. | 10:35 |
| thechris1721 | noda: like if i couldn't remove spatial browsing i would NEVER concider gnome. | 10:35 |
| Mikey | tritium: okay :) (sorry I feel stupid I don't know much about it yet) | 10:36 |
| noda | thechris1721: That's your choice. But spatial browsing is more efficient for the majority of users. | 10:36 |
| thechris1721 | noda: and yet it was made the default and the option to change it hidden -- all in one release | 10:36 |
| tritium | Mikey, no worries. | 10:36 |
| spiral | thechris1721: yeah, I hate this mode too | 10:36 |
| noda | thechris1721: You have to remember, not everybody uses a computer the same way you do. | 10:36 |
| thechris1721 | noda: yes, it should be an _option_. | 10:37 |
| noda | thechris1721: It is :) | 10:37 |
| spiral | noda: yeah, as in windows, you fire regedit & change a 0 by a 1... | 10:37 |
| thechris1721 | noda: not forced on me. and the option to revert was HIDDEN! | 10:37 |
| spiral | hmmm... sorry, gconf-editor... | 10:37 |
| spiral | I mistaked :-p | 10:37 |
| noda | thechris1721: As for the file dialogs: NOBODY liked the old ones. They sucked, both technically and in terms of usability. So nobody's going to bother keeping that code working. | 10:37 |
| Mikey | tritium: so I should try the pwd reset first, rite? okay | 10:37 |

| noda | hacim: Marco was getting fed up with the flamefests on Galeon, so he forked it and worked on a HIG-compliant browser. | 10:47 |
| MajorPayne | eitherway, atleast it's not IE | 10:47 |

| === calc wonders if ff leaks a lot | ||

| lightcap | isn't the correct way to set up raid with lvm the following: create RAID partitions -> create Raid devices -> create LVM Physical Volumes -> create LVM Volume Groups -> create LVM logical volume | 10:48 |
| noda | hacim: However, the great compromise: Epiphany *with extensions* has HIG compliance *and* a bunch of menu entries that do fun things :) | 10:48 |
| sladen | noda: and Firefox has mindshare(tm) | 10:48 |
| hacim | noda: ok, HIG compliance, extentions, no cool menus to search for debian packages/freshmeat etc. | 10:48 |
| lightcap | or does the installer want it done a different way??? | 10:48 |
| tritium | my firefox is using 114 MB | 10:48 |
| noda | hacim: Actually, Epiphany has a different bookmarks system. There's no hierarchy -- only "topics". A bookmark can have multiple topics. | 10:48 |
| tritium | and evolution 98 MB | 10:48 |
| noda | hacim: Yes, you can do that. | 10:48 |
| hacim | noda: cool, i'll give it a shot | 10:48 |
| hacim | noda: where are extentions? | 10:49 |
| lightcap | noda that way makes more more sense...more like del.icio.us | 10:49 |
| noda | hacim: The "smart bookmarks"... they don't have icons like Galeon's do, but they still work :) | 10:49 |

| Hwolf | stunned, ahh. what's the difference? | 11:38 |
| noda | benjanet: Hrm, now that you mention it, neither do I :) | 11:38 |
| parazoid | noda, Oh :) | 11:39 |
| Hwolf | bash: /etc/int.d/apache2: No such file or directory | 11:39 |
| Hwolf | :-P | 11:39 |
| === Hwolf is itching for hoary. :-S | ||
| noda | benjanet: It's "w32codecs" :) | 11:40 |
| noda | benjanet: Oh, and apt-get install totem-xine, too. Gstreamer doesn't use those codecs, I don't think | 11:40 |
| Hwolf | benjanet, use gxine instead of totem-xine, and you avoid breaking ubuntu-desktop | 11:40 |
| noda | Hwolf: That's true, but you're also using a less awesome video player ;) | 11:41 |
| === luisedo [~luisedo@63.245.86.118] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Hwolf | noda, just giving the option. Breaking ubuntu-desktop can be unpleasant. | 11:41 |
| luisedo | hi everybody | 11:41 |
| noda | I just run "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" every once and a while and hit "N" when I see that no other packages have changed :P | 11:41 |
| luisedo | dues any one can help me to change my video drivers? | 11:41 |
| benjanet | Hwolf, what do you mean by break ? | 11:42 |
| noda | benjanet: ubuntu-desktop depends on totem-gstreamer. Totem-xine conflicts with totem-gstreamer. So to install totem-xine, you have to remove ubuntu-desktop | 11:42 |
| Hwolf | benjanet, uninstalling ubuntu-desktop can do weird things to your system if you're upgrading | 11:42 |
| noda | Hwolf: Ooh, thanks for reminding me, actually! Apparently there's some new stuff (mozilla-firefox-gnome-support, openoffice.org-gtk-gnome, readahead) | 11:42 |
| parazoid | noda, ok. Final stupid question: How can i restore the files in /var/www/apache-default/ with my own? It won?t let me delete them. | 11:43 |
| noda | benjanet: So next time you do a dist-upgrade, you won't pick up any new packages which would have been in ubuntu-desktop. | 11:43 |
| Hwolf | noda, do you know a way to handle encryped dvds? I've got a set of dvd's by universal that refuse to play. :-S | 11:43 |
| noda | Hwolf: Yes, that's in the FAQ on ubuntu's website | 11:43 |
| Hwolf | noda, the problem is. I've got libdvdcss already | 11:43 |
| noda | Hwolf: Using totem-xine? | 11:44 |
| noda | Hwolf: Run "totem" from the console and try to play a movie, check if the debug output is useful | 11:44 |

| Hwolf | noda it'll run the dvd menu, but once the film starts, it quits. | 11:44 |
| noda | parazoid: edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default and change "/var/www/apache-default" to "/var/www". Then leave /var/www/apache-default alone, and just put different files in /var/www. | 11:44 |
| noda | Hwolf: I've never heard of that. What's the debug output? :) | 11:44 |
| parazoid | ok | 11:45 |
| benjanet | noda, i allready had w32-codecs, i reinstalled the, but didnt change anything.. | 11:46 |

| benjanet | noda, totem-gestreamer | 11:46 |
| Hwolf | noda. Totem won't open the dvd, gxine will, then crashes. | 11:46 |
| noda | benjanet: totem-gstreamer won't use w32codecs. | 11:47 |
| luisedo | exactly | 11:47 |
| luisedo | i uninstalled totem-gstreamer an installed totem only | 11:47 |
| luisedo | it works perfect | 11:47 |

| luisedo | hi Hwolf | 11:51 |
| luisedo | i can't play any 3d app on my ubuntu system... what should i do? | 11:51 |
| luisedo | i've been trying to change nvidia official drivers but it's impossible | 11:52 |
| noda | luisedo: Have you followed the instructions on the wiki? | 11:52 |
| luisedo | nop | 11:52 |
| luisedo | where is it? | 11:52 |
| luisedo | whats wiki? | 11:52 |
| noda | wiki.ubuntulinux.org -- search for "driver" | 11:53 |
| noda | A wiki is a website that any visitor can edit. | 11:53 |
| Hwolf | Is it me, or is it weird that gxine doesn't have a menu-icon? | 11:53 |
| aeolist | have you heard of a program that allows you to access your second os through windows? | 11:53 |
| luisedo | thanks noda | 11:54 |
| Quest-Master | aeolist: Yes | 11:56 |
| noda | aeolist: Lots of programs do that :) | 11:57 |
| aeolist | erm, can you tell me more about it quest master and noda? | 11:57 |
| Quest-Master | aeolist: Use explore2fs | 11:57 |
| Quest-Master | http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/explore2fs/explore2fs-1.00pre6b.zip | 11:57 |
| noda | I thought aeolist meant to run Linux in a window in Windows :) | 11:57 |
| aeolist | yeah | 11:57 |
| aeolist | i already got explore2fs (and it's really great) | 11:58 |
| noda | aeolist: VMWare costs money and is fast. Boschs (I think that's how you spell it) is free, but slower I think. | 11:58 |
| mjr | well, there's bochs, which is slow | 11:58 |
| aeolist | oh, so that's what vmware is for :P | 11:58 |
| noda | aeolist: Yes, it works very well. | 11:59 |
| Quest-Master | There is also Qemu | 11:59 |
| aeolist | ok, i'll try bochs... | 11:59 |
| === noda once installed Ubuntu on Qemu. Took like 12 hours to install :P | ||
| Quest-Master | I couldn't get Bochs to work | 11:59 |
| Quest-Master | Hehe | 11:59 |
| mjr | qemu on windows is alpha software | 11:59 |
