| jdub | don't use ubuntu-backports | 12:00 |
| veristead | i want to see someone actually use it | 12:00 |
| jdub | you'll have all kinds of problems upgrading in future | 12:00 |
| Pocky | I should prolly shut it off. | 12:00 |
| veristead | maybe you can IM me | 12:00 |
| veristead | using iChat AV | 12:00 |
| veristead | cuz i want to see it working | 12:00 |
| poppo | hey guys , can anyone pls tell me - how many cds does ubuntu take ? | 12:00 |
| kbrooks | jdub, i only need the debian file for xchat 2.4.1 | 12:00 |
| Agrajag | 1 | 12:00 |
| kbrooks | thats all. | 12:00 |
| Pocky | 1 | 12:01 |
| kbrooks | 1 | 12:01 |
| jdub | kbrooks: don't mix repositories, it will only lead to pain | 12:01 |
| kbrooks | jdub......... | 12:01 |
| jdub | kbrooks: if you want to test the devel branch, do that | 12:01 |
| poppo | k thanks, now may i know why is that good ppl from ubuntu are sendin 10 cds ? | 12:01 |
| Pocky | just got some of those printed cd's in the mail, and it refuses to install on my PC. | 12:01 |

| jdub | kbrooks: but a) mixing debian and ubuntu will hurt b) ubuntu backports are in no shape to use sanely | 12:01 |
| dem | how do you add a script so it's boot on start | 12:01 |
| dem | from init | 12:01 |
| crimsun | dem: update-rc.d's man page will help | 12:02 |
| kbrooks | jdub, then what do i do? | 12:02 |
| jdub | kbrooks: dwell in the wonderful, supported luxury of warty, or upgrade to the exciting world of hoary | 12:03 |

| Pocky | see you people | 12:03 |
| adam__ | how does one install the dev tools? I just installed ubuntu and need to install the nvidia driver, thanks | 12:03 |
| kbrooks | jdub, okay. i guess i'll upgrade. and the steps to do this are? | 12:03 |
| jdub | kbrooks: see the hoary upgrade guide in the wiki | 12:04 |
| jdub | adam__: the nvidia driver is already installed on your system | 12:04 |
| jdub | adam__: install nvidia-glx | 12:04 |
| Tuxicity | jdub, I use the backports.. | 12:04 |
| jdub | adam__: and read the guides about this on the wiki | 12:04 |
| jdub | Tuxicity: you're going to have a hell of a time upgrading to hoary | 12:04 |
| dem | and how do i pull ubuntus, kernel source / and restriced modules | 12:04 |
| adam__ | apt-get install nvidia-glx? | 12:04 |
| jdub | adam__: yes, after reading the guides on the wiki | 12:04 |
| dem | so i can add agp patches, nvidia patches | 12:04 |
| adam__ | sorry but i dont have graphics and web browsing is difficult to say the least | 12:05 |
| Tuxicity | jdub, what if I remove the backports b4 upgrading? | 12:05 |
| kbrooks | i'll try the backports first | 12:05 |
| kbrooks | be right back. | 12:05 |
| Lowry | 6.8.1-1ubuntu11 on ppc? | 12:05 |
| jdub | Tuxicity: the packages won't be removed | 12:05 |
| Serengeti | jdub so in fact one can't have the best of both worlds, by best i mean stability of warty desktop and sweet features of say, new firefox? i thought ubuntu backports are something kind of a compromise... | 12:05 |
| jdub | kbrooks: dude | 12:05 |
| Lowry | how do I get it? | 12:05 |
| jdub | kbrooks: that will make your hoary upgrade break | 12:05 |

| kbrooks | jdub, okay. errr, link me too the article for upgrading to hoary | 12:06 |
| crimsun | Serengeti: if you don't plan to upgrade smoothly to hoary, it's great. When your dist-upgrade breaks, you keep all the pieces. | 12:06 |
| jdub | kbrooks: it's in the wiki, you'll be able to find it easily enough | 12:06 |

| crimsun | adam__: "dev tools?" | 12:08 |
| lavigj | hey guys, quick question, what can I do if there's a package I want, that synaptics can't find in its list? I think there's a deb package... | 12:08 |
| jdub | veristead: keep it nice please | 12:08 |
| adam__ | gcc etc | 12:08 |
| crimsun | adam__: build-essential | 12:08 |
| occy | veristead: don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. | 12:08 |
| veristead | adam_ "make install <which ever folder/ directory it is> | 12:08 |
| occy | veristead: or better yet, don't. | 12:08 |
| crimsun | occy: what did you need? | 12:08 |
| dem | how do i get the hdparm init script to start on boot | 12:09 |
| occy | crimsun: heh, tag you are it! | 12:09 |
| crimsun | eep | 12:09 |
| occy | crimsun: ;) Let me dig up my pastebin url. | 12:09 |
| ZoKi | how do i register on this network ? | 12:09 |
| yokomo_ | anyone here get fluxbox to work on ubuntu? | 12:09 |
| crimsun | occy: k. You may have to repaste; pastebin expires quickly. | 12:09 |
| yokomo_ | I can't seem to get it to allow me to change the background | 12:09 |
| veristead | zoki: /msg nickserv register <password> | 12:09 |
| lavigj | is there a way to download the debian package, point synaptics to it, and then have it install? | 12:09 |
| adam__ | How do i install the kernel source tree? the nvidia driver failed but made it further this time | 12:10 |
| lavigj | yokomo_: fluxbox won't let you set it within flux. you need to use other apps | 12:10 |
| crimsun | lavigj: there're gnome-terminal, wget, sudo, and dpkg | 12:10 |
| ZoKi | thanx veristead | 12:10 |
| jdub | adam__: use the nvidia driver provided with ubuntu | 12:10 |
| lavigj | yokomo_: I think that feh will | 12:10 |
| occy | http://pastebin.com/230916 | 12:10 |

| yokomo_ | lavigj, the what? | 12:10 |
| adam__ | I repeat, the ubuntu driver does not work(i have a 6800GT) | 12:10 |
| kbrooks | i love sed | 12:10 |
| adam__ | it says something about no screens found when i startx | 12:10 |
| lavigj | yokomo_: fluxbox is a window manager, not a desktop environment. feh is a program | 12:11 |
| crimsun | lavigj: it's the only efficient way to install a Debian package. | 12:11 |
| veristead | :-\ | 12:11 |
| lavigj | crimsun: ok. I assume that man dpkg will tell me how to use the tool>? | 12:11 |
| occy | crimsun: I'll have to catch you later, the laptop is down.. and I don't have that X log just now. no worries buddy. tx for checking back with me. | 12:11 |
| crimsun | lavigj: certainly. | 12:11 |
| veristead | i'm trying to see if it works | 12:11 |
| lavigj | crimsun: thanks | 12:12 |
| crimsun | occy: k, just ping me. | 12:12 |
| Serengeti | jdub, can additional repos containing, say, Sun's Java, also get in the way when upgrading to hoary? | 12:12 |
| adam__ | anyone have an nvidia card? | 12:12 |
| yokomo_ | lavigj, so why can I not set the background? I get the styles to work but the background stays the same | 12:12 |
| veristead | the screen is still on | 12:12 |
| ZoKi | has anyone else been getting totem application error msg's after u have installed the nvidia driver ? or just me | 12:12 |
| veristead | jst you and God zoki | 12:12 |
| lavigj | yokomo_: because styles in fluxbox are not the same as the background. you have to use a separate program. there's nothing built in to fluxbox that will let it set the background with X | 12:12 |
| veristead | but he fixed it | 12:13 |
| ZoKi | cause sumtimes it will open up my movies npz, but at times it will just come up with an error | 12:13 |
| yokomo_ | ... | 12:13 |
| crimsun | adam__: yep, quite a few here do. | 12:13 |
| yokomo_ | I thought it the session rootCommand did that | 12:13 |
| === appie25 [~albert2@dc5146afcd.adsl.wanadoo.nl] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| adam__ | What did you guys do to get a GUI? | 12:13 |
| lavigj | yokomo_: xsetroot is another program I *think* that will let it set it. if you google something like "fluxbox wallpaper howto" you can probably find some really good info, better than I can give you | 12:13 |
| crimsun | yokomo_: use the bsetbg script, or Esetroot, or ... | 12:13 |
| yokomo_ | riiiight, i did that, but it's still not setting the background | 12:13 |
| kbrooks | i'm upgrading completely to hoary now | 12:14 |
| yokomo_ | and I installed feh now | 12:14 |
| crimsun | kbrooks: much smarter choice than bp :) | 12:14 |
| yokomo_ | I miss the old days of XP and change theme | 12:14 |
| lavigj | yokomo_: I would recommend googling it. It has been a while. | 12:14 |
| lavigj | crimsun: thanks, I was forgetting about Esetroot and those | 12:14 |

| === ironwolf [~ironwolf@c-24-6-169-124.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| === veristead sighs | ||
| veristead | i sure hope this works | 12:16 |
| crimsun | kbrooks: advantage: you get "newer" packages. disadvantage: poorly-versioned backports will make upgrading to Hoary a nightmare. | 12:16 |

| === adam_ [~adam@cable17-stm-74.gmpexpress.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Azumanga | I installed ubuntu recently without worrying about the network (I couldn't figure out the right driver). Now I try modprobing what I think is the right driver (via-rhine), but while I get no errors, "ifup eth0" doesn't bring it up. Is there something else I need to configure / set to make the network come to life? | 12:17 |
| crimsun | ferris: for warty, yes (presuming security errata) | 12:17 |
| kbrooks | Serengeti, what do you mean? | 12:17 |
| crimsun | Azumanga: you need to configure /etc/network/interfaces | 12:18 |
| Serengeti | kbrooks, why worry about switching code pages when in utf8 you can encode all characters from all languages | 12:18 |
| adam_ | nvidia-glx does not work. can anyone with an nvidia card(6xxx) help me get a graphical interface? | 12:18 |
| lavigj | yokomo_: I told you what I knew, I didn't know more but I remembered finding a lot when I searched for it. sorry if that wasn't enough | 12:18 |
| kbrooks | Serengeti, ah, i get you now | 12:18 |
| HrdwrBoB | Azumanga: sudo network-admin | 12:18 |
| ferris | crimsun....ok... thanks... it looks like it is up to date then.... i was running a 386 kernel.... way to slow! | 12:18 |
| crimsun | or HrdwrBoB's suggestion, which is much nicer. | 12:18 |
| Azumanga | crimsun: I don't suppose there is some kind of automatic configurator for that? some dpkg-configure? | 12:19 |
| lavigj | hmmm... can ubuntu handle a linspire deb package? | 12:19 |
| crimsun | Azumanga: see HrdwrBoB's suggestion. | 12:19 |

| lavigj | crimsun: dang it. thanks.. | 12:20 |
| HrdwrBoB | adam_: you need to apt-get install nvidia-glx | 12:20 |
| HrdwrBoB | and then run nvidia-glx-config enable | 12:21 |
| adam_ | omfg | 12:21 |
| HrdwrBoB | you don't need to use the nvidia drivers from nvidia | 12:21 |
| Serengeti | kbrooks, well software became smarter and handles most of the conversions automagically | 12:21 |
| HrdwrBoB | it's packaged already | 12:21 |

| Pxtl | The problem is that my TV's resolution makes it hard to read the screen and _find_ the Radeontool. | 01:06 |
| Vjaz | Pxtl: well you could always bind it to some "hotkey" | 01:06 |
| Pluk | then man iwconfig will prolly work | 01:06 |

| Josip | yes, me | 02:12 |
| Josip | IBM R50e 1,5GHz Centrino | 02:12 |
| Josip | but I haven't instaleld linux on it | 02:12 |
| CLucas916 | dedalus, i do | 02:12 |
| dedalus | i got a problem with my ipw2100 | 02:12 |
| dedalus | at my home it works | 02:12 |
| CLucas916 | dedalus, whats the prob | 02:12 |
| Josip | can anyone help ? thanks . | 02:13 |
| neighborlee | ogra: ah ic..very nice ;-)) | 02:13 |
| dedalus | but i can't change the channel | 02:13 |
| CLucas916 | ah | 02:13 |
| CLucas916 | its not a hardware problem btw | 02:13 |
| neighborlee | jdub: im using warty :( | 02:13 |
| dedalus | i think it's a problem of kernel | 02:13 |
| ogra | neighborlee: the very nice feature is the "upgrade with CD" option it has ;) | 02:14 |
| neighborlee | ogra: slickkkk | 02:14 |
| CLucas916 | dedalus, the only thing i can really say is to read the manpage of whatever application your using to manage your wireless card | 02:14 |
| Josip | anyone has an idea ? | 02:14 |
| Josip | or maybe reinstall everything but keep the /home dir | 02:14 |
| Josip | I can't backup it , haven't got blank cds atm | 02:14 |
| neighborlee | ogra: hmm is hoary stable enough for everyday ( or close thereof if not) and if so can I safely upgrade from warty ? | 02:15 |
| ogra | neighborlee: surely not for _everybody_ but its in a quite good shape currently (which still could change though) | 02:15 |
| kbrooks | wtf i cant login | 02:16 |
| dedalus | CLucas916, thanks | 02:16 |
| kbrooks | to the wiki | 02:16 |

| MrKeuner | hi, trying to install ubuntu on amd64. somehow grub installation quit because stage1 could not be read. Now I have a finished installed of ubuntu without a grub. How can I boot the new system using the ubuntu installation CD? | 02:26 |
| ogra | swim: the installer cd is a test version, the warty cd is stable do it as you like....if you use the install cd, please report bugs | 02:26 |
| kbrooks | ffs | 02:27 |
| swim | i mean as far as using hoary, is it just as good to install via the beta iso, or upgrading via a warty iso? | 02:27 |
| ogra | swim: ah, and take array2,thats newe... (there are also daily images) | 02:27 |
| swim | ogra where are the daily images? | 02:28 |
| benattar | Is there anyone offically associated with ubuntu's developement team? The managing engineer in our datacenter would like to setup an official ubuntu mirror and I'd like to put him in touch with you folks | 02:28 |
| ogra | swim: i didnt try the difference here, but the array cd may contain bugs, while the warty cd may not support as much HW | 02:28 |
| benattar | I couldn't find any info on setting up an official mirror on the projects webpage | 02:28 |

| ogra | swim: in any case take array2 not array1 if you take the array cd....but i think its relatively safe to take the daily....(dont bet e if i'm wrong) | 02:33 |

| genaro | dedalus: nothing to be sorry of | 02:41 |
| ogra | dedalus: why do you recompile ? | 02:42 |
| genaro | dedalus: The default install has not a lot in development tools | 02:42 |
| dedalus | i know but i was under debian before | 02:43 |
| dedalus | and i had it | 02:43 |
| dedalus | so i didn't take care | 02:43 |
| dedalus | i want to recompile to install ndiswrapper and activating other option | 02:43 |
| ogra | dedalus: you should better take the ubuntu package for that | 02:44 |
| dedalus | cause everything works except iwconfig channel | 02:44 |

| dedalus | i'm with you wireless lol | 02:44 |
| ogra | heh | 02:45 |
| kbrooks | genaro, and type in your user password | 02:45 |
| genaro | build-essential is for building packages, not kernels | 02:45 |
| sladen | genaro: a CD is limited to 650MB. IIRC, gcc and friends are actually shipped on the CD, but not installed (limited number of desktop users need C Compiliers...) | 02:46 |
| mazzabr | can't figure out what this command really does: $ pr --columns=10 test.txt | 02:46 |
| mazzabr | what does it do? | 02:46 |
| genaro | sladen: They are in hte cds but they are not installed by default | 02:46 |
| sladen | genaro: it depends on 'minor' things like 'make' and 'gcc', which you'll probably find are quite helpful | 02:46 |
| ogra | mazzabr: man pr ? | 02:46 |
| kbrooks | mazzabr, man pr | 02:46 |
| mazzabr | already tried. | 02:46 |
| ogra | pr - convert text files for printing | 02:46 |
| kbrooks | mazzabr, re read it | 02:46 |
| mazzabr | -COLUMN, --columns=COLUMN | 02:47 |
| mazzabr | output COLUMN columns and print columns down, unless -a is used. | 02:47 |
| mazzabr | Balance number of lines in the columns on each page. | 02:47 |
| kbrooks | brb. | 02:48 |
| ogra | mazzabr: so it converts the txt to a file with 10 columns per page i guess | 02:48 |

| KlingElf | No matter how I try to format the partition that I want to install Ubuntu on, it refuses to. When I format for Ext2 through the debian installer, it says that there are errors, when I know there aren't any. When I try to format with the Ubuntu installer itself, it gives me errors | 03:47 |

| scoon | KlingElf, have you tried to boot from a live cd and fsck the partition you want to use ? | 03:50 |

| bob2 | melazyboy: how is it bloated? | 03:52 |
| KlingElf | scoon: Yup. Checks out clean | 03:52 |
| mojo__ | melazyboy: I was considering xorg with Xfce4 as a lean, mean desktoppin machine setup... hmmmm.... | 03:52 |
| daniels | yeah, that driver support for newly-released cards is totally gimmicky | 03:52 |
| scoon | KlingElf, why not try and format it with the live cd and see if that won't help you thru your install troubles | 03:53 |
| mojo__ | hey, my radeon 9800 pro is working with xorg. that's a gimmick i can live with... | 03:53 |
| CLucas | what are some good ubuntu mirrors for sources.list? | 03:53 |
| melazyboy | mojo__: Its not bloated, it is modularized by my understanding, but who cares if your menus have 15 different levels of transparency with alpha fading and adv. lighting effects, personally i prefer the white on black menus, that render instantly rather than that, now granted i can have my cake and eat it too on xorg, meaning i can have it my way at no extra cost to you having it your way, but for me those fetures will never be used. | 03:53 |

| Tuxicity | CLucas, the official ones (in my sources.list) are fast | 03:54 |
| KlingElf | scoon: I've tried through the Debian installer, had a clean ext2 partition set up, can't get more simple. When I tried to mount it in the installer, it claimed that it had errors or somesuch | 03:54 |
| scoon | melazyboy, and since they are "modules" that get loaded on demand, not using them does not cost you any resource so there is no bloatware. | 03:54 |
| mojo__ | melazy: well then thats a nice thing that it's modular... that is the point, right? to keep it lean for those who want it, and give just the xtras ppl want to the ones who want 'em???? What's not to like? | 03:54 |
| melazyboy | scoon: is that not what i just said... | 03:55 |
| daniels | xorg isn't modularised yet | 03:55 |

| setite | finally figured out how to get to root | 03:56 |
| Tuxicity | CLucas, well maybe the ones that are on ubuntu.com/download | 03:56 |
| melazyboy | mojo__: Its not that i don't like it, it's just that for me, someone who thinks gnome is a bloated UI, stands to get no benefit from xorg, the conf files are the EXACT same (afaik) the benchmarks for what i do are the exact same -- i don't even think the newist version of gnome utilizes the new xorg fetures, i think only kde utilizes them as of now | 03:56 |
| daniels | melazyboy: (the driver support in terms of how many cards are supported is a lot better, and there are roughly a hojillion bugfixes) | 03:57 |
| bob2 | setite: sudo - | 03:57 |
| bob2 | s | 03:57 |
| mojo__ | melazyboy: I'm a command-line vet with Amiga and dos before there WAS a MSWindows... but I am a visual person too... the extra bits of the alpha channel, I can afford that. It's really a cheap hardware trick and not so bloaty as you might imagine. | 03:57 |
| melazyboy | didn't know about the hojillion bugfixes, Xfree worked fine for me, xorg is new -- i use it for that, most that use it use it because of that, not because of new fetures, I don't know anything about futher support for graphics cards, i thought everything that is supported under xorg works with xfree, ATI releases their drivers for both, and they suck at life, so i just assumed all manufatures would do the same thing | 03:58 |
| mojo__ | melazy: Well we may agree on Gnome... but I am open minded. That is why I am now gonna give Xfce4 a try. If you haven't, you should check it out. They share your bloat-free sentiments as a core philosophy (so they say, anyway). And they support xorg compoxiting anyway. Go figure? | 03:59 |

| mojo__ | melazyboy - I must agree that ATI, at least the company, really sucks for the most part. But I think there hardware (at the time our cards were new, anyway) was really superb. The nvidia stuff depended WAY too much on the CPU - at least back then (last year, lol, so long ago) | 04:01 |

| CLucas | bob2, ahh ok thanks | 04:01 |
| CLucas | im startin to like gnome anyways | 04:01 |
| mojo__ | melazyboy: But ati support.. well.. I _guess_ I should be grateful they finally gave up xorg and x86_64 drivers. But man, it took them long enough. | 04:01 |
| mojo__ | melazy: yes, i dist-upgraded | 04:02 |
| melazyboy | hrm that was very odd. | 04:02 |
| mojo__ | no, the second stays open. | 04:02 |
| melazyboy | mojo__: It stopped that was funny, before i opened a nautilus window, when i would open two windows of firefox and close one both would close | 04:02 |
| bob2 | melazyboy: close or quit? | 04:03 |
| mojo__ | melazyboy: i learned a long time ago on a helpdesk somewhere.. 20% of all problems refuse to manifest when a tech is near | 04:03 |

| melazyboy | NetwrkMonkey: i remember having that problem way back when i first started w/ linux, you could only resize from the bottom right corner | 04:06 |

| kbrooks | what distro | 04:06 |
| === Gman_ is now known as GmanAFK | ||
| melazyboy | kbrooks: Suse | 04:06 |
| kbrooks | melazyboy, did gnome or kde exist at that moment | 04:07 |

| kbrooks | ah high school | 04:07 |
| kbrooks | melazyboy, and did you buy it? | 04:08 |
| mojo__ | Netwrkmonkey, helpdesk life can be frustrating. The real skill set is dealing with people w/o making them feel intimidated. I learnt that dealing with pharmacists. These 60 year old guys didn't know jack shit about a PC, but you had to let them know you respected them. I mean, what the heck do YOU know about their business?

| melazyboy | kbrooks: That i don't remember, suse was my first distro, and i remember having that problem -- it happens to most people who start off without using a modern UI | 04:08 |
| kbrooks | melazyboy, cool. what distro are you on now | 04:09 |
| melazyboy | kbrooks: No i didn't but i still have it lieing around someone i probably gave him a copy of starcraft for it for it something i single handedly made starcraft go gold | 04:09 |

| melazyboy | kbrooks: The great thing about ubuntu, what really makes it shine, is they relise most users don't know or care how their computer runs, they are fed up with windows, and they might want to dabble in linux, they want an easy install, and if given an option they will just slam enter -- take the options away from them, thats going the be the key to ubuntus success everything should be able to be reconfigured, but everything should pre | 04:12 |
| melazyboy | mojo__: we have that, VLC | 04:13 |
| mojo__ | networkmonky - yeah, people in general are pretty capable of being asses. But that's a our society for ya... nothin you can quickly patch and upgrade | 04:13 |
| KlingElf | Well, there are ways...they're just not leagal in most countries... | 04:14 |
| mojo__ | melazy: I was always really fond of the Amiga's philosophy of serving both... point and click if you want, but if you want, the full os power at command line is there | 04:14 |
| mojo__ | I thought ubuntu was set up with gstreamer. Or is VLC working over gstreamer? I am not sure on what VLC is about | 04:15 |
| jdub | vlc is a totally different thing | 04:16 |
| jdub | the apps included/supported are gstreamer apps | 04:16 |
| mojo__ | KlingElf... LOL there are ways.... | 04:17 |
| melazyboy | mojo__: VLC is a program that emulates many propretary codecs without using .dlls, such as WMV9, regional DVD support, it stands to be the single easiest interface to use, but remains unpopular because most prefer a pretty skin over functionality (refrains from snide kde comment) | 04:17 |
| mojo__ | melazy: so, like, there is xine, there is gstreamer, and now there is vlc frameworks? | 04:18 |
| melazyboy | mojo__: VLC works with a pure ALSA system, which mplayer currently still does not (without oss emulation) (but will in the next version), VLC plays all of the formats mplayer plays, or so i have found, and it does so in the default binary | 04:18 |
| Quest-Master | Is VLC better than MPlayer? | 04:19 |
| === mojo__ steppin afk, bbiaf | ||
| melazyboy | Im not sure how vlc fits into the picture of xine and gstreamer, VLC is independant from both of them (afaik) so i would assume that is a correct statement. | 04:19 |

| melazyboy | mojo__: Well i have reasoning for it, to ever man his own i don't mind sharing my opinions usually they were formed through agravation, my opionions much like the defaults only change with good reason i dont like rythembox because its only job is to manage music and play mp3s, ive had problems with it working over samaba, and it doesn't work by default with a 'true-alsa' system without OSS emulation, as mine is | 04:29 |

| mojo__ | From the page "VideoLAN is free software, and is released under the GNU General Public License." | 04:35 |

| mojo__ | Folding at home is kind of like SETI@Home. It is for doing "folding" of complex protien molecules. Protiens can have a variety of geometries, and that has a LOT to do with how they work. Enzymes, for instance, work because of special shapes. | 04:36 |
| Tuxicity | mojo__, who runs folding@home? i mean who am i working for ? | 04:37 |
| mojo__ | Anyway, thats a simplified answer. The folding project creates "work modules" that you can have your PC process at home to help do the massive amount of calculating needed to map out the possible "folds" that long-chain protiens can do.

| setite | ok cool | 04:54 |
| drspin | the "Use Physical Disk" option... | 04:54 |
| mattv | then the other one it just said failure to boot from CDROM and then went to windows | 04:54 |

| regeya | don't believe I did, but thanks crimsun...oh, I don't care if it is. :-D I have a SB Live 5.1. Someone had lamented having problems with their onboard sound, I jested that I had no idea if mine worked because I buy creative cards. sorry for the source of confusion. | 06:11 |

| Cinder | Damn Small Linux,Cobind Desktop,Gnoppix (isn't installing) & Ubuntu live & hd version | 06:29 |
| martine | does anybody use ubuntu with ati hardware? | 06:29 |
| occy | Redhat, Slackware, Debian, Suse, gentoo, Mandrake, LFS(linux from scratch), hmmm can't remember others. | 06:29 |
| daniels | martine: yes, but most everyone uses stock kernels, so they don't need to compile their own module | 06:29 |
| crypticreign | when will the next release of ubuntu be out? March? | 06:29 |
| Cinder | bla lol | 06:29 |
| Tuxicity | martine, me | 06:29 |
| Pluk | martine why dont you just use the ubuntu fglrx driver? | 06:29 |
| occy | Ubuntu has the best setup so far IMHO. | 06:29 |
| Cinder | the setup took a long time on my p600 = / | 06:29 |
| occy | oh | 06:29 |
| occy | Fedora | 06:29 |
| occy | heh | 06:29 |
| occy | but that's just Redhat | 06:29 |
| daniels | crypticreign: april | 06:29 |
| martine | i was compiling a 2.6.10 kernel so i could get smp (well, hyperthreading) support. | 06:29 |
| Pluk | ah k | 06:29 |
| occy | course, that said, Ubuntu is basically debian. so.... | 06:30 |
| Cinder | i hates teh hyper threading | 06:30 |
| martine | so i think i need to compile a fglrx driver that matches? | 06:30 |
| Cinder | buzz word | 06:30 |
| === occy is babbling | ||
| occy | night gang | 06:30 |
| Cinder | lol | 06:30 |
| Cinder | Basically debian | 06:30 |
| Cinder | - 5 discs | 06:30 |
| Cinder | Plus it has a funny name :O | 06:30 |
| daniels | martine: are you using a kernel that you compiled yourself? | 06:30 |
| Tuxicity | occy, night | 06:30 |
| martine | cinder: the guy who invented it always called it SMT; hyperthreading is just the marketing spin on it. | 06:30 |
| Cinder | But hyperthreading is only useful with applications that support it ? | 06:31 |
| Cinder | and i dont know to many | 06:31 |
| martine | daniels, i have just compiled a kernel with make-kpkg and now i'm make-kpkg'ing modules_image | 06:31 |
| martine | Cinder, no, it's useful to any OS that supports multiple processes. | 06:31 |
| daniels | why did you compile your own kernel? | 06:31 |
| Pluk | there are also stock smp kernels though | 06:31 |
| martine | oh, i didn't realize there was a stock smp kernel. | 06:32 |
| martine | i've used debian for years and years so make-kpkg felt natural. | 06:32 |
| Pluk | :) | 06:32 |
| martine | daniels, i wanted an smp (hyperthreading, really) kernel, and so i just grabbed the kernel-source package. | 06:32 |
| daniels | martine: you know there are smp kernels shipped with ubuntu? | 06:33 |
| daniels | ah, right | 06:33 |
| martine | in any case, if i fix the makefile manually (someone put in eight spaces where a tab), the fglrx-kernel makefile breaks itself | 06:33 |
| Pluk | daniels, is the xorg-driver-fglrx-dev package already patched for 2.6.11-rc1? | 06:33 |
| daniels | Pluk: err ... no. | 06:33 |
| Pluk | ok thx | 06:34 |
| Pluk | didnt expect so but had some hope :) | 06:34 |
| martine | the rule is this: | 06:34 |
| martine | %.Makefile : | 06:34 |
| martine | # select which makefile to use. | 06:34 |
| martine | rm -f $(CURDIR)/$(dirname)/Makefile || true | 06:34 |
| martine | cd $(CURDIR)/$(dirname) ; \ | 06:34 |
| martine | ln -s Makefile.kbuild Makefile ; \ | 06:34 |
| martine | cd .. ; \ | 06:34 |
| martine | but there is no Makefile.kbuild so that effectively just clobbers the makefile and replaces it with a symlink to nowhere. | 06:34 |
| daniels | martine: cool | 06:35 |
| daniels | that entire rule just needs to evaporate | 06:35 |
| daniels | it never got updated for the new fglrx | 06:35 |
| martine | tried that, too, | 06:35 |
| martine | but configure.stamp wants configure.Makefile and now there's no rule for it | 06:36 |
| martine | er, config.Makefile | 06:36 |
| martine | make[2] : Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/fglrx-kernel' | 06:36 |
| martine | make[2] : *** No rule to make target `config.Makefile', needed by `configure-stamp'. Stop. | 06:36 |
| daniels | hm | 06:36 |
| martine | oh, you're daniel stone! i used your x packages on debian for quite a while. nice to meet you. | 06:36 |
| daniels | heh, thankyou | 06:36 |
| martine | i guess i just don't know whether i'm doing something wrong or if the package is just broken. | 06:36 |
| martine | it looks like it'll be harmless to reboot with my new kernel and then just let the fglrx's "make_install.sh" do its thing, right? | 06:38 |
| martine | (well, it'll escape the packaging but i can live with that.) | 06:38 |
| daniels | martine: the package is broken | 06:40 |

| bob2 | prabu^: er? | 07:27 |
| bob2 | prabu^: the ubuntu kernels have alsa already built, installed and setup. | 07:27 |
| crimsun | christian marillat bumped the dependencies, so it won't be installable. | 07:27 |
| bob2 | ironwolf: it's not in multiverse for warty | 07:27 |
| crimsun | bob2: he has an audigy ls. I'll walk him through it. | 07:27 |
| K-Rich | ironwolf: i only see mplayer-custom there | 07:27 |
| bob2 | ah | 07:27 |
| K-Rich | crimsun: so i assume i need to wait or? | 07:27 |
| crimsun | prabu^: sudo apt-get install build-essential kernel-package linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 07:27 |
| randabis | you could compile mplayer from source... | 07:28 |
| ironwolf | k-rich: well, you could install from hoary, or from the .deb or you could always upgrade to hoary *also interesting, but less so lately* | 07:28 |
| K-Rich | randabis: was just thinking that | 07:28 |
| prabu^ | crimsun brb yea | 07:28 |
| prabu^ | lemme go log onto my other comp | 07:28 |
| ironwolf | k-rich: if I were you, I'd grab the .deb for mplayer-586 from the archive and dpkg -i it | 07:28 |
| K-Rich | ironwolf: so i assume there is no way to get Totem-xine to play it then huh? | 07:28 |
| crimsun | K-Rich: you may use my backport if you understand that depending whether mplayer is rebuilt in hoary/multiverse, you may be stuck with my backport | 07:28 |
| ironwolf | k-rich: I struggled with totem-xine for a few hours, then ran to mplayer. Never did get it working | 07:29 |

| DIE_ATI | i got it because i was compiling the fglrx driver, and they had a folder so aptly named 2.6.10 but it as much of ati's releases simply doesn't work siting a bad symbol and 2.6.8 function names, there is a patch for it online | 09:38 |
| DIE_ATI | fabbione: Today | 09:38 |
| EvolutionR | jdub: okie...but I have trouble getting my ubuntu DSL connection (this is my first ubuntu installed distro) previously I can connect using other distro except ubuntu....is there a bug or wat? | 09:39 |
| fabbione | DIE_ATI: we do ship the ati binary driver, but after you load a binary driver the kernel is TAINED. that means that we don't ensure stability anymore | 09:39 |
| siimo | EvolutionR, what kinda DSL ? | 09:39 |
| jdub | EvolutionR: i don't know, depends on what you're doing | 09:39 |
| fabbione | DIE_ATI: you need to try without any binary driver | 09:39 |
| EvolutionR | siimo: DSL on 512 kbps 128 kbps connection from my local ISP ! | 09:40 |
| DIE_ATI | fabbione: Im not loading the driver your binary failed silently and that pisses me off like nothing else, take no offense i guess it happens | 09:40 |
| EvolutionR | siimo: no problem with the connection using windows | 09:40 |
| siimo | EvolutionR, i meant how you connect to it? USB modem? router? | 09:40 |
| fabbione | DIE_ATI: also.. just use the ubuntu kernel. compiling it yourself without applying any patch is useless, since we do apply a smbfs fix | 09:40 |
| DIE_ATI | fabbione: I tried making my own, i got the error message, many other people are having the same error | 09:40 |
| DIE_ATI | fabbione: This is without the fglrx driver installed, it failed w/ error when i did it myself | 09:40 |
| fabbione | DIE_ATI: dude.. do you apply all the patches we ship? | 09:41 |
| DIE_ATI | fabbione: do you know if the 2.6.11 src has the fix for smbfs? | 09:41 |

| DIE_ATI | fabbione: I relise that, but this should still work, with a custom kernel if i apt the binary i would expect it to fail not succeed silently, as it does, it never edits the config it download it installs as it shows in the dpkg database, it just doesn't work, and the module fglrx can't be modprobed because its not present at all | 09:45 |

| VSpike | i'm not up to date on the state of winmodem support in linux. i know it used to be a non-starter. Last I heard some efforts were being made. Where's it at now? | 10:25 |
| zeedo | VSpike: same as its always been, some modems work fine others dont, just depends on the chipset | 10:25 |
| zeedo | VSpike: google modem model and see if you can find anyone thats had success | 10:25 |

| swim | Hwolf ooh, is there anything I can do? can I use the nvidia.com installer? | 10:38 |
| swim | of the older version | 10:38 |
| crimsun | it makes sense to just downgrade all those nvidia packages to their warty versions and place them on hold | 10:39 |
| Hwolf | swim, I'd get the nvidia.com version and do that yes. Just uninstall the ubuntu versions first | 10:39 |

| === mattv [counterfei@AC9533D7.ipt.aol.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | bazer: compiling a third-party driver only requires linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 10:41 |

| xukun | crimsun, tell me please | 10:42 |
| crimsun | bazer: hmm? what else does it require? | 10:42 |
| bazer | the source repository properly patched in /usr/src/linux | 10:42 |

| crimsun | xukun: downgrade nvidia-glx, nvidia-kernel-source, and nvidia-kernel-common all to their warty (6111) versions and put them on hold using aptitude | 10:43 |
| Hwolf | crimson: xfree - xorg, won't work. | 10:44 |
| swim | crimsun: oh I can do that instead of installing nvidia using the installer from nvidia.com? | 10:44 |
| crimsun | xukun: obviously this implies a matching kernel downgrade unless you plan on compiling it manually. | 10:44 |
| crimsun | Hwolf: it actually works fine. I did it on several machines at work. | 10:44 |
| Hwolf | crimson: ?? does it. Sorry then. | 10:45 |
| swim | crimsun: is it possible to use the nvidia installer? | 10:45 |
| swim | for the older version | 10:45 |
| crimsun | Hwolf: the issue is of course linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) | 10:45 |
| crimsun | swim: yes, but be aware that it will clobber all the polite diversions that nvidia-glx creates | 10:46 |
| === GmanAFK is now known as Gman | ||
| swim | crimsun: what diversions are those? | 10:46 |
| crimsun | swim: not to mention it will overwrite the kernel module in linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) | 10:46 |
| swim | crimsun: so the safest thing to do is downgrade everything including kernel? | 10:47 |
| === Dko [~jesse@roc-24-169-211-201.rochester.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| crimsun | swim: if you wish to continue using Ubuntu-provided packages, yes. | 10:47 |
| swim | ok Ill just do that then thx | 10:48 |
| xukun | crimsun, crimsun ok, where do I start? how do I downgrade things | 10:48 |
| crimsun | bazer: if VMware requires that, then someone needs to file a bug on their bugtracking system | 10:48 |
| crimsun | bazer: anything that requires /usr/src/linux to be populated is broken according to Linus himself. The proper method is to check /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build | 10:49 |
| Dko | Well I finnaly was able to compile that source code. (yay!) Thanks for the help. But... >_< | 10:49 |
| Dko | now when I run startup I get root@roc-24-169-212-6:/home/jesse/dbsc2.5/src # ulimit: Command not found. | 10:49 |
| siimo | crimsun, so nvidia is broken then.. ? | 10:50 |
| crimsun | siimo: in which respects? ;-) | 10:50 |
| Dko | This seams a much more linux orented question. So could someone help me resolve this prob? ^^ | 10:50 |
| crimsun | siimo: the nvidia installer properly checks /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build | 10:50 |
| siimo | crimsun, it asked me for /usr/src .. | 10:51 |
| crimsun | siimo: it only falls through to that as a last resort | 10:51 |

| Dko | Could someone tell me why im getting 'Command not found' with ulimit ? | 10:53 |
| crimsun | Dko: it's normally a shell "builtin" | 10:54 |
| crimsun | Dko: are you using a Csh-based shell? | 10:54 |
| xukun | crimsun, I never downgraded things before | 10:55 |
| === siimo [~siimo@siimo.user] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| Dko | Well I just installed the Csh package. Would I Have to do a different package for the shell? | 10:55 |
| swim | crimsun: can I install the nvidia warty stuff while booted onto the hoary kernel? or do I need to reboot into the warty one first | 10:56 |
| crimsun | Dko: err, you didn't have (weren't supposed) to install it; that was a question referencing which shell you are using when you get the ulimit error | 10:56 |
| Dko | Crimsun: Im not shure. I mean I install csh for something else just recently. | 10:57 |
| Dko | *installed | 10:57 |
| === weezer_ [~weezer@pD952A455.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | swim: you can certainly downgrade the userland nvidia packages regardless of the kernel you're running, and more than likely you didn't purge the older kernels or linux-restricted-modules | 10:57 |
| crimsun | swim: if you have time, please assist xukun with downgrading; he faces the same procedure | 10:59 |
| Dko | I just type ./startup for the mud im trying to get running. Its what gives the ulimit problem | 10:59 |
| swim | crimsun:what Ive done so far is ust remove the nvidia packages (3) and installed the warty kernel, now Im going to install the 3 nvidia packages again from warty, is that good of me :) ? | 10:59 |
| crimsun | swim: actually all you have to do is downgrade nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-common. Then make sure you still have the warty kernel and linux-restricted-modules [for that kernel] | 11:00 |
| crimsun | Dko: `getent passwd $USER' should tell you the shell your user is configured to use by default | 11:01 |
| swim | crimsun: not sure what the difference between downgrading and removing the hoary nvidia packages, and installing the warty nvidia packages is | 11:01 |
| weezer_ | I'm having a strange problem with a HP Deskjet 550 printer: I installes just fine and printing a test page works too. But printing out of _any_ program doesn't. Any ideas? | 11:01 |
| crimsun | swim: the results are identical | 11:01 |
| swim | ok good :) | 11:02 |
| Dko | I get root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash | 11:02 |
| Dko | What ever that all means. >< | 11:02 |
| crimsun | Dko: did you execute csh or tcsh at any time? | 11:02 |
| Dko | the ./startup I did might. I seamed to require csh. | 11:03 |
| crimsun | Dko: (and why are you attempting to execute your mud application as root?) | 11:03 |
| swim | crap tried to install nvidia-glx, and linux-restricted-modules... and returned nvidia-kernel-common is not installed, but thats also not available as a package download... can I fix this? | 11:03 |
| crimsun | swim: remember that you would need the warty repo line(s) | 11:04 |
| swim | crimsun: yes theyre in there | 11:04 |
| swim | warty-security | 11:04 |
| === hno73 [~Henrik@henrik.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | swim: not just warty-security, you also need warty | 11:04 |
| swim | ah ok | 11:04 |
| Dko | Crimsun. I have no clue what im doing here. The instructions told me to put startup and dbsaga (mud executable) in my dbsc2.5 directory and then type ./startup 4000 & I do that and get the ulimit prob | 11:05 |
| === pisuke [~luis@84-120-67-237.onocable.ono.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | swim: if you're going to downgrade, it's well worth your while to familiarize yourself with aptitude's man page, particularly the install=version parameter and value | 11:05 |
| Dko | At first I got something about /bin/csh so I installed the csh package. | 11:05 |
| crimsun | Dko: is that a mud daemon or a mud client? | 11:06 |
| Dko | Its a mud server if thats what you mean. | 11:06 |
| swim | crimsun: ok I will once I get this nvidia stuff taken care of, is it wrong to just have changed the line with hoary to have warty and warty-security ? because when I put both in there apt-get update is returning errors | 11:07 |
| crimsun | Dko: daemon->server here | 11:07 |
| Hwolf | How do I check which location I've set during base-config? | 11:07 |
| Dko | Ohh ok. I don't know much termanology yet | 11:07 |
| crimsun | Hwolf: "location?" | 11:07 |
| === housetier [~housetier@dsl-084-056-141-069.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Hwolf | Yeah. First you select language, then where you live, then keyboard layout, then timezone, right? | 11:08 |
| crimsun | swim: if your base is hoary, always keep hoary in your sources.list. Since you're downgrading, you'll want to (re)add warty and warty-security lines (they can be commented out after you're finished downgrading and putting those packages on hold). | 11:08 |
| === mattv [counterfei@AC9533D7.ipt.aol.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| crimsun | swim: again, this instance is particularly relevant to learning aptitude's install=version parameter and value | 11:09 |
| swim | crimsun: the problem is that having warty and warty-security is returning errors when using apt-get update | 11:11 |
| swim | while each alone does not | 11:11 |
| crimsun | swim: use #flood to paste the errors | 11:11 |
| crimsun | Hwolf: `tzconfig', `dpkg-reconfigure console-data', etc. | 11:12 |
| Dko | So any clue into my problem? >_< SHould I uninstall the csh package I installed and give the error I get for not having that instead? | 11:12 |
| swim | crimsun: well I just removed warty-restricted since all I needed was the kernel, and got the nvidia stuff from warty | 11:12 |
| Dko | *about ready to smash head into a wall* | 11:12 |
| swim | brb let me see if this works | 11:13 |
| crimsun | Dko: what mud daemon are you attempting to configure and execute? | 11:13 |

| melazyboy | scoon: when i try to run smbumount as a user i get smbumount must be installed suid root | 12:10 |
| melazyboy | But its already installed... | 12:10 |
| melazyboy | and in order to apt-get you must be root, and i was root when it installed | 12:10 |

| scoon | melazyboy, read over man mout, there is more to user/s option than just let users mount and unmount. | 12:12 |
| mjr | SeytoN, sounds bad, that kind of thing doesn't necessarily have drivers | 12:12 |
| mjr | SeytoN, don't you have an ethernet connected cable modem option? | 12:13 |
| scoon | melazyboy, another thing to note, mount just calls on smbmount when mounting smbfs. so you really need to look over those docs as well. | 12:13 |

| SeytoN | To install Wine from the WineHQ APT repository, you need to configure APT to look in the right place for the Wine packages. On Ubuntu systems, and those using the Synaptic Package Manager, this can be done easily by opening up Synaptic and selecting Settings->Repositories.

| SeytoN | wait | 01:23 |
| Kakalto | EvolutionR: He's probably still typing out the info | 01:23 |
| SeytoN | Then, simply click reload and search for the package 'wine' for installation. If you already have a 'wine' package installed, selecting mark all upgrades and opting for the "smart upgrade" option should update Wine to the newest version. | 01:23 |
| SeytoN | Currently, we only have i386 binary packages available. If you do not use an i386 architecture, or wish to compile the package in an optimized way, you can build the wine package using the source repository instead. To do this, add a source repository with the same URI, but using the distribution source/ instead. Then, see the instructions below for building the package in the console. | 01:23 |

| kbrooks | EvolutionR, the problem is that ubuntu is based on .deb. | 01:45 |
| Adrenal | its made for redhat based distros | 01:45 |
| Adrenal | it would be like install a mac prog on a windows system | 01:45 |
| Adrenal | u need to convert it | 01:45 |
| kbrooks | er, debian | 01:45 |
| Adrenal | which is what u just did | 01:45 |
| EvolutionR | Adrenal: sorry guys....I forgot that is Redhat thing ehhehehe newbie : ) | 01:45 |

| EvolutionR | Adrenal: what's backports? | 01:48 |
| mickatron | Help please... | 01:48 |
| kbrooks | EvolutionR, remove your backports first | 01:48 |
| Adrenal | newer, more frequently updated progs | 01:48 |
| kbrooks | or else they'll break hoary | 01:48 |
| EvolutionR | Adrenal: oic!!!! | 01:48 |
| EvolutionR | I dont like to mess around with unstable release guys | 01:49 |

| Adrenal | its not unstable | 01:49 |
| no0tic | on warty was working, here in hoary no | 01:49 |
| Adrenal | there is a stable segment to it | 01:49 |
| Adrenal | there are like four branches | 01:49 |
| KungFuPANDA | right | 01:49 |
| no0tic | I have an AMd 2800+ | 01:49 |
| Adrenal | u can use the stable releases part, which are tested, then put onto that server | 01:49 |
| topyli | kbrooks: i almost upgraded yesterday, but it looked like too much trouble. my warty has gone astray :) | 01:49 |
| KungFuPANDA | I'm in single user mode | 01:49 |

| topyli | kbrooks: like? | 01:50 |
| Adrenal | evolutionr:oooh, fedora, i remember that | 01:51 |
| topyli | kbrooks: remove all your packages before upgrading? | 01:51 |
| Adrenal | evoltuionr:join #ubuntuforums | 01:51 |
| EvolutionR | Adrenal: yeah yum thing...but I hate the up2date thing it crashes / stalled | 01:51 |
| Adrenal | lol | 01:51 |
| Adrenal | thought i was the only one | 01:51 |
| EvolutionR | Fedora still lacks.... | 01:52 |
| EvolutionR | I like Suse 9.2 Pro | 01:52 |
| EvolutionR | user friendly | 01:52 |
| topyli | apt works OK on fedora | 01:52 |
| kbrooks | topyli, all backports that you have installed. | 01:52 |
| Adrenal | evolutionr:join #ubuntuforums | 01:52 |
| topyli | kbrooks: that's not too much. my own packages probably have to go too | 01:53 |
| EvolutionR | Adrenal: why ? | 01:53 |
| EvolutionR | suitable to chat there? | 01:53 |
| Adrenal | discussion based, easier to keep up | 01:53 |
| KungFuPANDA | I write my password instead of "passwd" right? | 01:53 |

| martok | Ok, I'm used to FreeBSD setup. | 03:11 |
| martok | I just got sshd to work but... | 03:11 |
| martok | It's not in inet.conf, what starts it? | 03:11 |
| Kakalto | tried google? | 03:11 |
| martok | I wouldn't know what to search for. | 03:12 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | what exactly is the system called in ubuntu that handles mounting? hal or something like that? | 04:29 |

| Kakalto | snowblink, I gave windows its own partition | 04:30 |
| jdub | BROKEN_LADDER: before that, the kernel basically tells hal, which tells g-v-m | 04:30 |
| snowblink | Kakalto: how big is the partition? | 04:31 |
| snowblink | Kakalto: are there any other partitions on the same drive? | 04:31 |
| Kakalto | first: the windows partition is approx. 30GB | 04:32 |
| === Linforcer_ [~chatzilla@dslam252-73-59-81.dyndsl.versatel.nl] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Kakalto | secondly: and there is 4 other partitions | 04:32 |
| snowblink | Kakalto: I believe Windows will object to those other partitions | 04:32 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | The problem with g-v-m is that if you have two g-v-m's running, both will get messages from HAL which means that they will race for mounting the device. Ideally one of them should go to sleep even though that solution may not be so satisfactory. | 04:32 |
| snowblink | Kakalto: what is on those partitions? | 04:33 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | is this true? | 04:33 |
| Kakalto | snowblink, I think not | 04:33 |
| snowblink | Kakalto: did you have access to those partitions before via windows? | 04:33 |
| jdub | BROKEN_LADDER: roughly | 04:33 |
| Kakalto | I have tried combining everything, and installing windows on the hdd, with only 1 partition, and it still won't work | 04:33 |
| Kakalto | snowblink: I have ubuntu on those partitions | 04:33 |
| Kakalto | apart from the swap partition, and the win 95 ext'd | 04:34 |
| snowblink | Kakalto: so this all worked and could boot before? | 04:34 |
| Kakalto | and the partitions didn't exist when windows last worked on this comp | 04:34 |
| Kakalto | snowblink:yes | 04:34 |
| snowblink | Kakalto: that's what I meant. If those partitions exist, you won't be able to boot windows | 04:35 |

| neighborlee | i've installed linux-source-2.6.8.1 but my nvidia driver still wont compile against it saying wrong kernel....why is the linux-source package different than the installed default kernel ie: default installed is 2.6.8.1-2-i386 yet linux-source package from apt is just '2.6.8.1' ????..its causing nvidia to not want to compile ;((and this is bad ... | 10:55 |

| neighborlee | GoneBoB, yes I do if I want to use the 'newest' driver from nvidia ? | 10:57 |
| GoneBoB | neighborlee: the newest driver from nvidia is in hoary | 10:57 |
| GoneBoB | if you want 'newest' | 10:57 |
| GoneBoB | you can use that | 10:57 |
| neighborlee | yes but i'm not sure I want to use hoary...I thought about it but im ..uncertain at best | 10:58 |
| melazyboy | GoneBoB: Yes but im not seeing any information that says this is a kernel problem. i don't have any different results if i use the ubuntu bin kernel | 10:58 |
| neighborlee | I should be able to grab linux source and just do: sh NV*.run...;-) | 10:58 |

| GoneBoB | melazyboy: what is the error or exact symptoms | 10:59 |
| poppo | guys , can i do xf86config in shell to configure my vga ? | 10:59 |
| GoneBoB | neighborlee: if you install the nvidia source it can stuff things up quite badly | 10:59 |
| drspin | does ubuntu use DevFS? | 10:59 |
| GoneBoB | and X won't start | 10:59 |
| GoneBoB | drspin: no, ubuntu uses udev | 10:59 |
| drspin | thanks | 11:00 |

| melazyboy | GoneBoB: I didn't relise you could mount over a mount point, ie run the same command with different arguements and you create a mount queue, but still no joy with umask=002, i was able to unmount, and when mounted with rw,users,umask=002 i still can't write | 11:04 |
| GoneBoB | swim: chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm | 11:04 |
| swim | GoneBoB, that will STOP it ? | 11:04 |
| GoneBoB | swim: after that, later on you can just use chmod +x to let it start | 11:04 |

| GoneBoB | swim: yes | 11:05 |
| scoon | drspin, and how do you know this. i have all of my drives in there just fine. | 11:05 |
| swim | GoneBoB, would you happen to know where I can list nvidia to start at boot? | 11:05 |
| drspin | scoon: because I get an error message when I boot -- lemme find it real quick | 11:05 |
| GoneBoB | seb128: what's a nice way to do it that's easily user reversed | 11:05 |
| Scooter | wow , I just read that Nintendo ROMS are legal as long as i own the original game :) I have LOTS of nintendo games 8) | 11:05 |

| RachelJM | also, how can I save my settings to floppy or somewhere like that? | 11:31 |
| drspin | the problem is that when the /etc/init.d/hdparm script is run, it's before the drivers for the CD drives are available... | 11:31 |
| drspin | what I want to do is run two hdparm and an ln command right before gdm gets started | 11:32 |

| drspin | Quest-Master: the flash card simple needs a filesystem (or file structure) that the camera supports on it | 11:50 |
| kbrooks | who owns the camera | 11:50 |
| kbrooks | and why did you remove all pictures? | 11:50 |
| drspin | and the only way to do that is navigate through the menus and find the option that will let you format the card | 11:51 |
| kbrooks | do you have a backup | 11:51 |
| GoneBoB | Quest-Master: the camera will format itself | 11:51 |

| AndyR | RachelJM, back now | 11:53 |
| RachelJM | drspin, um, probably, but I also want things like GAIM settings, and xchat servers that I add | 11:53 |
