| kent | duzchip, either manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list as it says, or make the same changes using the synaptic program (found in computer menu..). Then update the list of packages either using synaptic (press refresh) or using "sudo apt-get update". Then upgrade, either using synaptic or "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (the apt-get commands is run from a terminal) | 12:44 |
| nicedreams | jesuel, quake Urban Terror for one | 12:44 |
| nicedreams | Every time I use the Nvidia drivers, it hard locks my system when i open anything opengl | 12:45 |

| keyfa770_ | configure: error: SDL >= 1.2.0 is required | 01:50 |
| ycco | Sorta like some home repair show where you can tune in and watch. | 01:50 |
| scaroo | keyfa770, install libsdt-dev | 01:51 |
| crimsun | keyfa770_: sudo aptitude install libsdl1.2-dev | 01:51 |
| keyfa770_ | i know i have the 1.2.7.7 installed | 01:51 |
| ycco | Maybe have a set of people who are dedicated to answering questions about the live tutorial as it is going on. have a (#questions) or something to answer the questions from that tutorial. | 01:51 |

| ermo | ycco, mindphasr, I see. Is the Waimea you are referring to available here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fwaimea | 01:54 |
| ycco | I wouldn't install the nvidia drivers from them... do this Parallax_ | 01:54 |
| Parallax_ | i have the 6600 GT and i need to install nVidia Drivres for it | 01:54 |
| ycco | Parallax_: apt-cache search nvidia | 01:54 |
| ermo | ycco, mindphasr, or are you referring to the sourceforge.net waimea? | 01:54 |
| ycco | Parallax_: install em' that way. | 01:54 |
| keyfa770_ | Parallax_, try to use killall X, and if the loginmanager starts try killall gdm-binary and then killall X | 01:54 |

| ycco | Parallax_: oh. :( | 01:55 |

| ycco | Parallax_: yeah, do the gdm stop thingy. | 01:55 |
| Parallax_ | ok | 01:55 |
| ycco | it close it cleanly | 01:55 |
| ycco | as opposed to killall X | 01:55 |
| ycco | heh | 01:55 |
| ycco | keyfa770_: :P | 01:55 |
| mindphasr | ermo: Looks like it | 01:56 |

| BamaJank | apt and yum are options, LADoctor, you say Linux | 03:53 |
| bretzel | bob2 ? | 03:53 |
| ironwolf | LADoctor: in ubuntu, it's generally all handled in synaptic or apt. Look for Synaptic Package Manager in the menus | 03:53 |

| jdub | BROKEN_LADDER: so perhaps you should explain what you need to do, nicely. | 03:59 |
| sgtshatta | daniels: The only media player that has audio right now in hoary is gxine all the others like mplayer gmplayer and totem have no audio, have you ever seen this?? | 03:59 |
| === NetwrkMonkey [~Monkey@netwrkmonkey.user] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| jdub | BROKEN_LADDER: you can't set that. | 03:59 |

| jdub | under /media/ | 03:59 |
| jdub | type mount, you'll see where your current device is mounted | 03:59 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | mount uses fstab.. | 04:00 |
| sgtshatta | daniels: It keeps compaining about /dev/dsp is busy, this sound daemon does not get released by the other apps | 04:00 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | oh i think i see what you mean | 04:00 |
| daniels | sgtshatta: try running 'killall esd' | 04:00 |
| sgtshatta | daniels: ok | 04:00 |
| jdub | BROKEN_LADDER: the hal/g-v-m system in use in ubuntu, fstab is not used for removable media | 04:00 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | but i can't make it mount things under /mnt in any way? | 04:01 |

| daniels | heliolith: iirc it just restarts automatically | 04:02 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | but say i had four cd-rom drives, how would i set where each one was mounted under /media? | 04:02 |
| jdub | BROKEN_LADDER: no, there is no persistent location. | 04:02 |
| heliolith | daniels ok ty | 04:02 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | you just said it's under /media | 04:03 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | that seems pretty persistent to me. | 04:03 |

| jdub | BROKEN_LADDER: it will be mounted in a folder under /media. that location is not persistent. it is generated. | 04:03 |
| daniels | BROKEN_LADDER: your cdrom could be /media/hdc one day, and /media/bristling-and-frustrating-to-those-trying-to-help-you the next day. | 04:03 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | i wasn't mocking him. | 04:05 |
| daniels | (think about the point embedded in it also.) | 04:05 |

| unb | Demitar: I read that FAQ. I guess I must conclude that the latest Gnoppix beta is broken. I also tried the menu Applications --> System Tools --> Root terminal. I get a window asking me for the root password again! I leave it empty, click OK, and ... nothing happens. | 04:22 |

| [Bruce] | *like | 04:25 |
| tritium | daniels, yeah. It's an interesting one, though, since use of sudo is encouraged, yet that command wouldn't work | 04:25 |
| tritium | even if the path was fixed | 04:25 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | does anyone know how to mount a samba share over an ssh tunnel? | 04:34 |
| jdub | you read a document the other day that clearly explained the process. | 04:34 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | i've set up the ssh tunnel but i can't figure out the exact command line for mounting the share, because it's on a linux box and the howto's describe mounting a windows box.. | 04:34 |
| jdub | it's exactly the same. | 04:34 |
| [Bruce] | mount -t smbfs | 04:35 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | i can't find a howto that describes the same hing i'm trying to do. | 04:35 |
| jdub | the document you read the other day clearly described exactly what you're trying to do. | 04:35 |
| Ex-Cyber | for some reason Linux and X have given me nothing but trouble lately :/ | 04:35 |

| Cindux | what if i was sitting beside you | 04:51 |
| Cindux | looking at your configuration | 04:51 |
| Cindux | and i was like "that is wrong" | 04:51 |
| tritium | nevyn, maybe. The main reason I switched to ubuntu initially was the willingness to provided "restricted" modules. | 04:51 |
| Cindux | :P | 04:51 |
| xhypno | tritium, Auto mount died out of no were, I now have to mount /dev/sda1 every time I insert the drive | 04:51 |
| Cindux | don't forget it looks perty | 04:51 |
| xhypno | mtab and automount are correct | 04:51 |

| aebcoat | or just go to desktop-desktop prefrences-add wallpaper to add a picture from anywhere on your hard drive as background | 04:52 |
| tritium | xhypno, you're not using gnome-volume-manager? | 04:52 |
| nevyn | what's in restricted? | 04:52 |
| Cindux | If I put the image in /usr/share/backgrounds, it will be shared will al other users correct? | 04:52 |

| LostMonk | does ubuntu come with only gnome? | 05:26 |
| tritium | LostMonk, you can get kde from the package repositories | 05:27 |
| nevyn | LostMonk: come with yes. work with no. | 05:27 |
| randabis | it has xfce, fluxbox, openbox, and some others too | 05:27 |
| bretzel | LostMonk: yes but the is kde3.3 in the repos... | 05:27 |
| Tuxicity | Tuxicity, resizing NTFS could be risky.. | 05:27 |
| Tuxicity | oops | 05:27 |
| randabis | you mean 3.2 | 05:27 |
| LostMonk | ok thanks | 05:27 |

| jesuel | you would probably be better off buying a cheap harddrive | 05:41 |
| jesuel | honestly | 05:41 |

| Cindux | a bunch have popped up | 05:41 |

| nomasteryoda | loudly | 05:42 |

| randabis | ext3 and reiser > ntfs though | 05:42 |
| Zeroz42 | but i can't find a 20gb new... | 05:42 |
| jesuel | then a 40 | 05:42 |
| jesuel | whatever is smallest | 05:42 |
| Cindux | Try online Zero | 05:42 |
| jesuel | or buy a used one ;p | 05:42 |

| Zeroz42 | .. | 05:43 |

| Zeroz42 | a 40gb is about 53CDN | 05:43 |

| bleck | when i try to play something in XMMS, the console says " oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): No such file or directory" | 06:08 |
| Cinder | are you trying to play an .mp3 ? | 06:08 |
| tritium | bleck, it needs to use "esd" | 06:08 |
| randabis | lspci | grep audio I think | 06:08 |
| bleck | its an mp3, but i have gstreamer | 06:08 |
| Cinder | = / | 06:09 |
| tritium | bleck, can you reconfigure it's output? | 06:09 |
| Cinder | i had the same problem with mp3s | 06:09 |
| blair | I run fireglcontrol, and it says it is using MESA GLX inderect for rendering | 06:09 |
| Cinder | they've been disabled because of copyright issues etc | 06:09 |
| Cinder | try a .ogg or something | 06:09 |
| randabis | xmms can be configured to use esd | 06:09 |
| Cinder | and tell me if it works | 06:09 |
| randabis | might require a plugin though | 06:09 |
| bleck | ill check it | 06:09 |
| blair | I have flgrx installed, and am using it as the driver in my XF86Config-4 file | 06:09 |
| tritium | Cinder, you can play mp3 files if you download the right files from universe or multiverse | 06:10 |
| Tuxicity | blair, you followed this how-to? http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:10 |

| blair | yup | 06:10 |
| randabis | to get mp3, sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-mad | 06:10 |
| Cinder | but, my libraries .ogg so it wouldnt matter to me anyway ;d | 06:10 |
| randabis | hehe | 06:10 |
| randabis | <3 ogg | 06:10 |
| tritium | same here | 06:10 |
| bleck | after changing ESD output, get "/dev/dsp: No such file or directory" | 06:10 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | this is great. | 06:11 |
| randabis | it will take a long time doing over 6000 mp3s though... | 06:11 |
| tritium | bleck, can you "lsmod | grep snd" | 06:11 |
| Cinder | I converted them all on my windows machine | 06:11 |
| zenrox | randabis, over 9k here | 06:11 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | the default ubuntu desktop is way ugly. | 06:39 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | it's great isn't it? | 06:39 |
| duderiffic | yeah | 06:39 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | HrdwrBoB: you mean default settings? | 06:40 |
| HrdwrBoB | yes | 06:40 |
| duderiffic | 3 minutes into it, i suppose so | 06:40 |
| HrdwrBoB | if it bothers you that much, you could simply move your settings into /etc/skel | 06:40 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | HrdwrBoB: uhh...you mean gnome has the ubuntu desktop image path built into it from source? | 06:40 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | HrdwrBoB: that's what i'm going to do, but i didn't think that was the right directory. | 06:40 |

| tritium | Scooter, the system monitor | 06:47 |
| HrdwrBoB | Scooter: you can put a button on your panel to kill windows | 06:47 |
| HrdwrBoB | or you can use system monitor | 06:47 |
| Xenguy | Scooter: do -> ps aux processname | 06:47 |
| kakalto | does apt-get install all required components aswell? | 06:47 |
| crimsun | kakalto: yes. | 06:48 |
| Xenguy | Scooter: then whatever the 'processID' (PID) is, do -> kill -9 <pid> | 06:48 |
| Scooter | Cool Thanks :) I have been useing top and kill from the console LOL! | 06:48 |
| crimsun | kakalto: you may wish to refresh that url now; I just updated it. | 06:48 |
| Vjaz | I guess the problem could be that I haven't upgraded my whole system to Hoary yet... but in that case some of the dependencies of firefox must be wrong | 06:48 |
| Vjaz | I'll try upgrading the X packages and see if it starts working | 06:48 |
| Xenguy | Scooter: the console is yer friend ;-) | 06:48 |
| kakalto | crimsun, kewl. | 06:48 |
| kakalto | what's the best multimedia player you can get on linux? | 06:49 |
| nevyn | kakalto: define best? | 06:49 |
| Scooter | indeed <Xenguy> :) I like console :) | 06:49 |
| crimsun | "best" is subjective. | 06:49 |
| duderiffic | mplayer has a horrible gui, but other than that... | 06:49 |
| Xenguy | Scooter: :-) | 06:49 |
| kakalto | the most like winamp, will play almost anything, and has a pretty good gui | 06:49 |
| kakalto | (winamp is my favourite on win) | 06:50 |
| nevyn | duderiffic: it's phearsome tho. | 06:50 |
| Scooter | I forgot, i am in XFce LOL! is there an X application for GUI process killing? | 06:50 |
| nevyn | winamp plays VIDEO? | 06:50 |
| duderiffic | yeah, takes a little getting used to | 06:50 |
| randabis | xkill? | 06:50 |
| Xenguy | kakalto: try mplayer, gxine, kaffeine (not necessarily in any particular order) | 06:50 |
| kakalto | any screenies? | 06:50 |
| kakalto | screenshots | 06:50 |
| Xenguy | kakalto: see what works for *you* :-) | 06:50 |
| nevyn | kakalto: xmms.. | 06:50 |
| duderiffic | i bet you can find some on google kakalto | 06:50 |
| nevyn | kakalto: but it's sorta audio mostly | 06:51 |
| randabis | beep media player too | 06:51 |
| randabis | I perfer rhythmbox though | 06:51 |
| Scooter | BTW found a fun little file manager called worker in synaptic today... verry powerful | 06:51 |
| Xenguy | kakalto: (assuming you want video, as opposed to just audio) | 06:51 |
| kakalto | nevyn, I'm wanting something that will play avis, mp3s, rm, ogg, and likely more | 06:51 |
| Vjaz | I hate XMMS because it doesn't adhere to any GUI standards. | 06:51 |
| randabis | hell even totem-xine will play music :p | 06:51 |
| nevyn | btw what the hell is with every modern mp3/video player wanting to "manage" my media. | 06:51 |
| Xenguy | Scooter: I've seen that - I like the 'double-pane' file manager paradigm -- try krusader, I think you might like it (it is more resource hungry, but other than that ...) | 06:52 |
| randabis | kakalto you might wanna check out vlc too | 06:52 |
| Scooter | <randabis Thankyou, that is a KILLer command! I am going to assign it to XFce button :) | 06:52 |
| kakalto | what is totem-xine? | 06:52 |
| randabis | it's dawg ugly though | 06:52 |
| nevyn | just read it off the damn disk/share/whatever when I tel you to play it. | 06:52 |
| nevyn | arrg. | 06:52 |
| kakalto | randabis, I've heard vlc is great, haven't seen it yet | 06:52 |
| randabis | totem-xine is totem with a xine backend | 06:52 |
| kakalto | what's totem? | 06:52 |
| randabis | the default video player | 06:53 |
| HrdwrBoB | nevyn: because when you have >nonotrivial amounts of media you need to manage it | 06:53 |
| duderiffic | time for sleep... i might actuall install this on my other pc | 06:53 |
| nevyn | ummm | 06:53 |
| duderiffic | maybe | 06:53 |
| nevyn | HrdwrBoB: umm I manage it myself. I don't want the player to do it. | 06:53 |
| HrdwrBoB | in any case, last time I checked, mplayer, xmms, totem, and others didn't manage anything | 06:53 |
| HrdwrBoB | they just played | 06:53 |

| swim | randabis, could you right click on your panel and select add to panel and then see if the mail notification is in there? | 06:59 |
| HrdwrBoB | swim: I think it was being redone | 06:59 |
| Scooter | <K-Rich> Thanks :), i will try that.. If not working i will re install the 32 bit windows... Great Idea :) I did not think about useing windows to fix linux LOL! | 06:59 |

| Scooter | so I install windows then Ubuntu :D | 06:59 |
| swim | HrdwrBoB, meaning that could be a reason the notification thing is not in the rightclick add to panel thing? | 07:00 |

| pestil | And the apps in the taskbar are *intact* Not even Explorer in Win2k could do that when I nuke it through taskbar | 07:53 |

| Zotnix_ | Heh | 07:56 |
| Suva | So... Anyways... Does anybody here use ubuntu? :) | 07:56 |
| pestil | K-Rich, just before I leave, umm, does what I just experienced happen a lot? Is there a way to avoid it in the future? | 07:56 |
| Suva | And is it really "better" than debian? | 07:56 |
| crimsun | Suva: none of us do. We all use Windows. | 07:56 |

| K-Rich | pestil: i've had it happen 2 times in 4 years :P | 07:57 |
| crimsun | Suva: "better" is subjective, but it's safe to assume most of us prefer it for most applications to $any_other_distro | 07:57 |

| Suva | So what is the installer like? | 07:58 |
| Zotnix_ | Simple. | 07:58 |
| jesuel | simple | 07:58 |
| Suva | Is it just debian installer? | 07:58 |
| Zotnix_ | Doesn't offer much in the way of options. | 07:58 |
| Suva | Or something different? | 07:58 |
| pestil | whew. That's good then. I just noticed that Ubuntu has terminal access first option in right click desktop. Hadn't it been for this, I would've though it uselss | 07:58 |
| K-Rich | randabis: there is a red one and an orange one, the red one is live-cd the orange is install and it has those 3 people on the cover, i just ordered aother 35 disks for my lug meetings etc. | 07:58 |

| randabis | I suppose encode on the fly could be problematic | 08:02 |
| jesuel | especially on slower machines | 08:02 |

| Zotnix_ | I know. I just remember being able to write to CD-R as a user prior to 2.6.8.1 | 08:27 |
| K-Rich | yeah | 08:28 |
| Zotnix_ | Why can't they just add an option to the kernel "Allow user land writing to CD-RW drives" | 08:28 |
| Br34ch | I'm unable to find dbh1-0 and a2ps.. :o | 08:28 |

| Zotnix_ | Not Ubuntu. | 08:29 |
| randabis | swim mupen64 | 08:29 |
| Zotnix_ | They changed the kernel though. | 08:29 |
| randabis | not sure if it is in the repos though | 08:29 |
| Zotnix_ | To burn to CD I'd have to go to the 2.6.7 kernel | 08:30 |
| Zotnix_ | Or burn as root only. | 08:30 |
| swim | randabis, kool ill have a look if not ill just compile | 08:30 |
| randabis | I can burn a cd in k3b as a user...2.6.10 | 08:30 |
| Suva | I guess there is away around it | 08:30 |
| Suva | Most likely you just need the rw access to the file | 08:30 |
| randabis | swim it's precompiled | 08:30 |
| K-Rich | Zotnix_: errr Ubuntu does hav a cdrom group | 08:30 |
| randabis | yeah that's why it works for me, I'm in the cdrom group | 08:31 |

| Suva | Zotnix_, your problem is propably the missing access to the right device | 08:31 |
| K-Rich | randabis: same here, samsung 52X :P | 08:31 |
| randabis | same 8mb cache? | 08:31 |
| K-Rich | yupp | 08:32 |
| randabis | :) | 08:32 |
| Suva | Zotnix_, most likely your previous kernel used SCSI emulation | 08:32 |
| randabis | it's a very good burner | 08:32 |
| randabis | I can't get it to burn over 30x in linux though for some reason | 08:32 |
| K-Rich | was on sale at Wal-Mart for like 59.97 (what's with wal-mart and the .97?) | 08:32 |
| Suva | And new one doesn't and it uses different device | 08:32 |
| Zotnix_ | I can access the cdrom... can't burn to it. | 08:32 |
| randabis | Rich yeah I saw it at Wal-Mart too, but I got it when it was still in the 70 dollar range :/ | 08:33 |
| randabis | got it from newegg | 08:33 |
| Br34ch | randabis: What could be the package name for dbh1-0 (Disk based hashtables) and a2ps(Postscript converter)? | 08:33 |
| K-Rich | randabis: they got a DVD burner now for like $60 | 08:33 |
| Zotnix_ | cat /etc/group |grep cdrom produces: cdrom:x:24:martin,hal | 08:33 |
| Br34ch | I can't find it in Synaptic.. | 08:33 |
| kakalto | is there a linux winamp? | 08:34 |
| randabis | Br34ch, a2ps, and libdbh1.0 libdbh1.0-dev | 08:34 |
| Suva | Zotnix_, see the permissions of the file /dev/cdrom points to | 08:34 |
| kakalto | or a gui-skin for another linux app to make it look like the new winamp | 08:34 |
| Suva | kakalto, no, but there is XMMS | 08:34 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | your love is like a flock o' birds | 08:34 |
| Zotnix_ | brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom | 08:34 |
| randabis | XMMS and Beep Media Player are the closest thing to winamp | 08:34 |
| Zotnix_ | points to hdc | 08:34 |
| kakalto | Suva, how big is XMMS? | 08:34 |
| HrdwrBoB | kakalto: not very | 08:35 |
| Zotnix_ | same permissions | 08:35 |
| randabis | it's tiny and in the repositories | 08:35 |
| kakalto | not very doesn't tell me much | 08:35 |
| kakalto | 5mb is huge for a 56k'er | 08:35 |
| randabis | both beep and XMMS are in the repos | 08:35 |
| kakalto | it's tiny for a broadband person | 08:35 |
| randabis | it's much less than 5mb | 08:35 |
| Suva | kakalto, 5x10cm :) | 08:35 |
| kakalto | lol | 08:35 |
| randabis | XMMS only gets large if you get all the plugins for it | 08:35 |
| kakalto | fair enough | 08:36 |
| kakalto | same with almost anything | 08:36 |
| K-Rich | anywho.... midnight:30 here so i'm off.. need some sleep before fellowship in the morn | 08:36 |
| randabis | XMMS is deprecated though | 08:36 |
| randabis | Beep is the GTK2 port of it | 08:36 |
| Suva | It is one of the core elements on most distributions anyways | 08:36 |

| iMeXdiAC | how do i install a new font (.ttf) as root is disabled and font: in gnome doesnt work | 08:37 |
| randabis | I just use rhythmbox or totem | 08:37 |
| randabis | iMeXdiAC, you can add them to your .fonts directory in your home | 08:37 |
| randabis | you can also add them to /usr/share/fonts, but you must be a sudo user | 08:38 |
| kakalto | can I download beep for my default ubuntu installation with sudo apt-get install beep? | 08:38 |
| randabis | you can open a root terminal to do it fairly easily, or run nautilus as a sudo user | 08:38 |
| Br34ch | randabis: i can't still quite point them out.. :s | 08:38 |
| randabis | Br34ch I took the package names right from synaptic... | 08:38 |

| randabis | a2ps, and libdbh1.0 libdbh1.0-dev | 08:39 |
| kakalto | hello? | 08:39 |
| randabis | libdbh1.0 might be libdbh1.0-1 | 08:39 |
| randabis | kakalto, the beep package is beep-media-player | 08:39 |
| kakalto | sweet | 08:39 |
| Br34ch | Actually.. i think I'm pretty sure they're not there . . . could it be that i have to update the list or something? | 08:39 |
| randabis | possibly, also, do you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled? | 08:40 |

| iMeXdiAC | randbabis well i tried .. sudo nautilus fonts: .. but i couldnt drag it .. but in the terminal gnome complained: Authentication Rejected, with to me cryptic reason | 08:41 |

| randabis | hmm | 08:44 |
| iMeXdiAC | gives no output in the terminal though .. the gnome ui warning was None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. | 08:45 |
| randabis | Wish I could help you there...not sure | 08:45 |

| jdub | iMeXdiAC: why are you running nautilus with sudo? | 08:46 |

| randabis | copying to .fonts is enough | 08:49 |
| iMeXdiAC | :) .. ll try .. so it should then show up in fonts: | 08:50 |

| randabis | yeah | 09:16 |
| randabis | which could be caused by IP6 | 09:17 |
| randabis | or a crappy dns server :/ | 09:17 |
| neighborlee | I saw another post in ubuntu forums saying this chap can't even get a connection...and he's using same onboard NIC as my friend is..ie: intel Pro/100 VE | 09:17 |

| gabaug | (in Hoary) | 09:21 |
| jesuel | yeah, i know | 09:21 |
| jesuel | quite annoying, how are you supposed to login as root if you need to | 09:21 |
| jesuel | *rude* | 09:21 |
| netbyte | what makes ubuntu different than debian ? | 09:21 |
| Agrajag | sudo -s | 09:21 |
| Agrajag | why would you ever need to log in as root? | 09:22 |
| pw | jesuel: "sudo su" | 09:22 |
| pw | Agrajag: To avoid typing "sudo" before everything you do :) | 09:22 |
| jesuel | i had to login as root to fix permissions, i have a 120gb drive mounted for my /home directory | 09:22 |
| Agrajag | jesuel: then there's single-user mode | 09:23 |
| kakalto | how do I chmod a folder & all its subfolders and files as the same, under nautilus? | 09:23 |
| jesuel | ah | 09:23 |
| Agrajag | Or you could just set a root password if you absolutely feel it's necessary | 09:23 |
| jesuel | i just booted with the cd and chrooted, and got in | 09:23 |
| jesuel | and set a password | 09:23 |
| Agrajag | personally I advise everyone against it, but some people just won't learn new tricks | 09:23 |
| randabis | netbyte, well, it has much newer packages for one | 09:23 |
| Agrajag | huh? | 09:23 |
| Suva | jesuel, init=/bin/sh :P | 09:23 |
| Agrajag | oh right | 09:23 |
| jesuel | so by default, you can use sudo without a password? | 09:24 |
| randabis | man chmod | 09:24 |
| Agrajag | of course not | 09:24 |
| Agrajag | you have to give your user password | 09:24 |
| jesuel | oh really? | 09:24 |
| netbyte | that's all? newer packages? | 09:24 |
| jesuel | thats it? | 09:24 |
| Agrajag | yes | 09:24 |
| jesuel | silly | 09:24 |
| Agrajag | silly? | 09:24 |
| jesuel | just weird | 09:24 |
| Agrajag | how so? | 09:24 |
| randabis | netbyte nah theres some other things | 09:25 |
| Agrajag | That's how sudo works | 09:25 |
| jesuel | doesnt seem secure | 09:25 |
| jesuel | to me | 09:25 |
| randabis | I suggest checking http://www.ubuntulinux.org if you're really interested in ubuntu | 09:25 |
| kakalto | how do I set the ownership of a directory's *.*? | 09:25 |
| Agrajag | jesuel: how is it not secure? | 09:25 |
| Agrajag | kakalto: you want to set permissions only on files which have a dot in them? | 09:26 |
| netbyte | yup, i'm visit the website already | 09:26 |
| netbyte | i visit* :D | 09:26 |
| jesuel | Agrajag: i see, looking in /etc/sudoers | 09:26 |
| Zotnix_ | Well, dived in deeper into my not being able to burn CDs as user. | 09:26 |
| jesuel | that makes sens | 09:26 |
| jesuel | err sense | 09:26 |
| Agrajag | jesuel: yeah | 09:26 |
| jesuel | it is secure | 09:26 |
| kakalto | arg, under most OS's, *.* means ALL files & folders | 09:26 |
| Zotnix_ | I chmod 666 /dev/hdc (I know, bad, desperate). | 09:26 |
| kakalto | *.*, as in anything.anything | 09:26 |
| jesuel | so by default, root is completely unable to login | 09:26 |
| kakalto | not .* | 09:26 |
| Agrajag | that way, if some program allows an attacker to spawn a shell as a user, they still can't use sudo without that password | 09:26 |
| jesuel | interesting | 09:26 |
| Agrajag | right | 09:26 |
| Zotnix_ | still no go. Apparently cdrecord can't detect drive modes. Only root can. | 09:26 |
| Agrajag | kakalto: right... that's any file with a dot in it | 09:27 |
| Agrajag | not every file has a dot | 09:27 |
| Agrajag | * is every file | 09:27 |
| kakalto | ah | 09:27 |
| Agrajag | *.* is every file with a dot in it | 09:27 |
| kakalto | okay | 09:27 |
| jesuel | hrm, perhaps ill go back to the old way | 09:27 |
| kakalto | so how do I change a folder's * permissions so my normal user can use it? | 09:28 |
| jesuel | now that i know better | 09:28 |
| jesuel | :) | 09:28 |
| Agrajag | anyway you can do "chown -R <owner> ." to recursively set the owner for every file under the current directory | 09:28 |
| kakalto | ah, thanks | 09:28 |
| kakalto | and chgroup -R <group> for group? | 09:28 |
| Agrajag | chgrp | 09:28 |
| kakalto | or not | 09:28 |
| kakalto | ah | 09:28 |
| jesuel | err | 09:28 |
| jesuel | chown -R owner.owner | 09:28 |
| jesuel | for group | 09:28 |
| Agrajag | owner.group you mean? | 09:29 |
| jesuel | err yeah | 09:29 |

Must is remove and reinstall nvidia packages ? | 10:07 |
| broodster | could someone give me a new source.lst | 10:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | go to http://ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:07 |

| aCilnv | HrdwrBob .. if u're talking to me .. i got the binary nvidia to work on warty .. it's after the haory dist upgrade that i'm stuffed | 10:08 |
| kakalto | I read chmod; I tend to easily miss the informaion I need | 10:08 |
| broodster | so can someone just send me their source.lst and save me | 10:09 |

| home66 | quite impressed with the ubuntu distro,i've been using fc since it came out & now i installed ubuntu on another box & think that is really fast,could say also faster than suse which i tried | 10:13 |
| randabis | check /etc/lsb_release | 10:13 |
| randabis | that was for you broodster | 10:13 |
| aCilnv | eeek .. just did a dist-upgrade .. installed 2 packages .. NO xorg related. | 10:13 |
| randabis | hmm | 10:13 |
| broodster | i dont have a lsb_release =[ | 10:13 |
| aCilnv | i remember that i had to choose which X i wanted to use .. and i picked xorg .. | 10:14 |
| randabis | aCilnv, do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 10:14 |
| randabis | broodster, you are probably using warty then | 10:14 |
| aCilnv | yes .. but in xorg - the driver is set to nvidia .. and in xf86config-4 . i changed it to nv .. to get x up after dist-upgrade | 10:15 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | special? | 10:48 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | crimsun: yes. horribly | 10:58 |
| randabis | why are you installing firefox from a debian repository? | 10:58 |
| randabis | why not just get the backport? | 10:59 |
| crimsun | BROKEN_LADDER: praytell, about what? | 10:59 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | crimsun: i never said that one should take a buggy but "faster" kernel over a stable but slower one. i said that if all other things are equal, it would be illogical to install the slower one. | 10:59 |
| crimsun | randabis: the danger of using ubuntu-bp is that they are versioned incorrectly and will cause massive headaches for users upgrading from warty to hoary. | 10:59 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | in this case, the only reason not to is the size of what can fit on the CD. | 10:59 |
| kakalto | randabis: backport? | 10:59 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | but instead of taking that logical argument, you talked about ironing out bugs. | 10:59 |
| randabis | crimsun, oh! I see :( | 10:59 |
| randabis | I would say that is jdong's fault? | 11:00 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | kakalto: i said you should use it, not that you had the dependencies. | 11:07 |
| kakalto | I asked a question somewhere... | 11:08 |
| kakalto | let me find it | 11:08 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | kde's look and feel and everything about it is like some kind of windows nightmare. | 11:08 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | it's atrocious. | 11:08 |
| cavediver | Is it just me getting error message when using backport apt-entry in Warty AMD64 ? | 11:08 |
| crimsun | cavediver: no, and njs12345 even said as much. | 11:08 |
| klaym | KDE reminds me more of MacOS, which is fine | 11:08 |
| cavediver | Oh must have missed that | 11:08 |
| crimsun | please, please read before just wandering off and shooting in the dark. | 11:08 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | kakalto: if there are dependency prodblems, just install the dependencies. | 11:08 |
| kakalto | with apt-get? | 11:09 |
| kakalto | or the deb search | 11:09 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | gnome reminds me much much much more of osx than kde. kde is the polar opposite of osx. | 11:09 |
| njs12345 | I don't like KDE, but if you do that's fine | 11:09 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | well, kde and osx both have this awkward bloated feel. | 11:09 |
| crimsun | kakalto: let me reiterate: installing from external repositories can be hazardous. | 11:09 |
| kakalto | I like the look of fluxbox, but it doesn't come default with ubuntu :( | 11:09 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | fluxbox is awesome. | 11:09 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | especially with the minimal theme. | 11:09 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | it should come with ubuntu. | 11:10 |
| crimsun | then step up and maintain it. | 11:10 |
| kakalto | crimsun; if I uninstall my current version of firefox, and (attempt) to install the version that's on www.getfirefox.com then will I have any problems? | 11:10 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | kakalto: of course the nice thing about package management is that you can always revert. | 11:10 |
| crimsun | kakalto: you may. If you wish to stick with package management, you may as well dist-upgrade to Hoary. | 11:11 |

| Demitar | eli, "will not boot"? | 11:33 |
| Demitar | As in, no menu or it won't do anything? | 11:34 |
| eli | Hi Demitar, thanks. Installed from the cd (on top of previous kanotix). First it says graphics file missing, then, grub menu still has kanotix... | 11:34 |
| RobbieB | eli, where did you install GRUB during installation? In the MBR? | 11:35 |
| eli | Then, when clicking the top boot option, Error 15 File not found | 11:35 |
| eli | It did not give me a choice. There was already grub installed there from the previous kanotix | 11:35 |
| Demitar | Well, it sounds like it reads the menu.lst from the old installation. Most likely reinstalling grub will fix it. | 11:35 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | actually Demitar i looked in /etc/adduser and i don't see any settings that would cause new users to have their ubunu theme and wallpaper. | 11:35 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | where are those settings coming from? | 11:36 |
| eli | Demitar: how to reinstall grub, if I can not boot? | 11:36 |
| Demitar | BROKEN_LADDER, as we concluded earlier, it won't. The first time you log in as a gnome user gnome will supply those defaults (most likely it doesn't install anything, only uses the defaults). | 11:36 |
| Demitar | eli, you have too options: 1. emergency disk/cd 2. tell grub to boot off the correct disk (since it has a commandline interface) | 11:37 |
| Demitar | s/too/two/ | 11:37 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | Demitar: where are those defaults defined? | 11:37 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | Demitar: that's what i'm looking for. | 11:38 |
| randabis | hmm...perhaps gnome's defaults can be changed | 11:38 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | they have to be.. | 11:38 |
| Demitar | BROKEN_LADDER, I suspect it's all gconf /etc/gconf/ ... | 11:38 |
| eli | Demitar: 1. I do not have the emergency disk, only the original boot disk. 2. I can get to the command line of grub. | 11:38 |
| eli | Can I just reinstall grub using the installation cd? | 11:38 |
| randabis | actually you can... | 11:39 |
| randabis | you can use the installation CD to chroot into your ubuntu | 11:39 |
| Demitar | eli, original bootdisk would do the trick, yes. But if you're comfortable with computers choosing the kernel with grub might be easier. | 11:39 |
| crimsun | BROKEN_LADDER: /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas | 11:39 |
| randabis | there's a description of how to do that on www.ubuntuguide.org | 11:40 |
| eli | Demitar: I can not find the kernet with the command line interface of grub | 11:40 |
| eli | (I do not know how to do it...) | 11:40 |
| mjr | hmh, doesn't gnome-vfs's sftp method know how to ask for a password? | 11:40 |
| mjr | christ | 11:40 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | mjr: i'm curious about that gnome-vfs. | 11:40 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | does that allow me just to see the files in nauilus, or to actually let other apps use them as though they are local files? | 11:41 |
| Demitar | Well the syntax is something like this: kernel (hd0, 0)/boot/vmlinuz... | 11:41 |
| randabis | BROKEN_LADDER: /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas (crimsun posted that, not sure if you ignored him) | 11:41 |
| randabis | to alter gnome's defaults | 11:41 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | i was about to say thanks to crimsun for that | 11:41 |
| randabis | ah | 11:41 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | i saw it. | 11:41 |
| mjr | BROKEN_LADDER, it allows other gnome-vfs-aware apps to use it | 11:41 |
| Demitar | And then you need to specify initrd too: initrd (hd0, 0)/boot/initrd... | 11:41 |
| mjr | hmm, but apparently sftp:// can ask for a password, wonder what's wrong then | 11:41 |
| eli | Demitar: when I type that I get file not found | 11:41 |
| Demitar | eli, hd0 specifies which physical disk. , 0 specifies the partition. | 11:42 |

| Kakalto | Demitar, BROKEN_LADDER, thanks | 11:46 |
| Demitar | eli, when you've specified kernel and initrd you type boot to, well, boot. :) | 11:46 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | i wonder how hard it would be to install linux on one of those mac minis. | 11:46 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | the hardware looks cool and is abou what a shuttle system would cost. | 11:46 |
| Suva | BROKEN_LADDER, it's not hard | 11:47 |
| Suva | It has allready been done | 11:47 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | you just compile your kernel and there are modules for the sound card and everything? | 11:47 |
| Suva | But I wouldn't install linux on a Mac system | 11:47 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | that's pretty impressive. | 11:47 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | why not? | 11:47 |
| Suva | Cause Mac own stuff is better :P | 11:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | ?? | 11:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | you have to be kidding me. | 11:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | well, i guess you could install X on it. | 11:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | over osx | 11:48 |
| eli | Demitar: after typing root=/dev/hda1 ro at the end of the kernel line, I type boot. It displays a few messages, and then says cannot open root device hda1 or unknown block. Should it be hda1 or hda0 | 11:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | but the osx gui is terrible. | 11:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | apps' menus are at the top of the screen instead of in their own windows. | 11:48 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | it's way bloated. | 11:49 |
| isaac | what? | 11:49 |
| isaac | the menubar == bloat? | 11:49 |
| isaac | hehaha | 11:49 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | just the interface. | 11:49 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | is bloated. | 11:49 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | the menubar is just poorly designed. | 11:49 |
| Demitar | eli, the same as you specified for where to find the kernel, but hd0 becomes hda and hd1 hdb etc and , 0 becomes hda1 and , 1 becomes hda2 | 11:50 |
| Suva | Well it's still better than Linux :D | 11:50 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | i don't have a menu bar at the top of my screen in gnome. i just have app menu, window list, notification icon bar, workspace switcher, date/time.. | 11:50 |

| Suva | I don't want some sucking sudo | 11:52 |
| Kakalto | restarting ubuntu without restarting | 11:52 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | Suva: sudo to change the root pass then you can log in as root. | 11:53 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | sudo is more secure however. | 11:53 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | you should use sudo when you can stand it. | 11:53 |
| randabis | BROKEN_LADDER, yes, you'll need to reboot | 11:53 |

| eli | Demitar: entering the next steps of configuration... | 11:55 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | it's a "revolutionary" encryption plugin. | 11:55 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | it's something everyone should use if he can. | 11:55 |
| randabis | nice | 11:56 |
| eli | Demitar: while it continues... Will I have to write the lines that I just typed into some configuration file? | 11:56 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | it's really easy to install to. | 11:56 |
| Demitar | eli, you probably want to check that /boot/grub/menu.lst is sane and then run "grub-install /dev/hda" | 11:56 |
| njs12345 | I use gaim-encryption already, so I don't really need it | 11:56 |
| Kakalto | how exactly do I make a symbolic link inside a file (a dll) to another file? | 11:57 |
| njs12345 | however it does look interesting | 11:57 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | and if you have it, it basically detects when the other party has it, and connects. | 11:57 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | gaim-encryption doesn't do anything like what otr does. | 11:57 |
| njs12345 | ln -s <file to be linked to> <symbolic link> | 11:57 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | you should read about otr. | 11:57 |
| Demitar | eli, they should be in the menu file already, really. | 11:57 |
| njs12345 | well, it encrypts messages | 11:57 |
| njs12345 | and I'm not stupid enough to lose control of private keys | 11:57 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | otr is encryption plus authentication plus repudiability. | 11:57 |
| eli | Demitar: The order I did was 1. setup... 2. kernel .... 3. initrd.... 4. boot Is this all to it? | 11:57 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | what's the point of encryption without authentication? | 11:57 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | what's the point of authentication without repudiability? | 11:58 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | otr makes gaim-encryption utterly obsolete | 11:58 |
| Kakalto | njs12345, that command didn't work | 11:58 |
| Kakalto | it said the file already exists | 11:58 |
| Demitar | eli, that is enough, there is some other magic, your menu.lst should contain entries like this: | 11:58 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | otr is also cross platform/client. | 11:58 |

| Demitar | eli, well, make sure that your grub package is up to date, and try again. (The stages should be in /boot/grub/ not /boot/grub.* | 12:13 |
| eli | Demitar: CORRECTION: I did run it, and it seem to have done it ok. How do I know if it is ok? | 12:14 |
| eli | Demitar: the files in the grub directrory have now today's date | 12:15 |
| Demitar | Only one way to know for sure. And I imagine you can guess what. :) | 12:15 |
| eli | Demitar: I will wait until the session at alt-F1 finishes downloading. It is now on package 61, and does not say when it will finish. | 12:16 |

| eli | Demitar: thanks very much. One last question: I see that the swap partition is only 200 megabytes, the / particion is 8o Gigabytes. Is this an acceptable value? | 12:17 |
| cavediver | Demitar: yes. | 12:18 |
| Demitar | eli, I think it'll be ok. A bit more swap can be good since it doesn't hurt (I hear 2.6 kernels suggest twice as much swap as ram). | 12:18 |

| === arachne [~arachne@sysif.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| eli | Demitar: it has 390 megabytes | 12:19 |
| Demitar | cavediver, you probably shouldn't ask me I've been running debian/sid exclusively for years. | 12:19 |
| cavediver | Me to. I had problems with sid and switched to Ubuntu. Only need FF and TB 1.0. Backports doesn't work in A64 version, unfortunately. | 12:21 |
| Demitar | eli, then it probably has so much ram that it won't be a problem anyway. But if you're worried you can either test one of the e2fs partition resizing tools (never tried one myself) or reinstall from scratch. | 12:21 |
| Demitar | cavediver, then upgrade already. ;-) It's not unstable. | 12:21 |

| Demitar | I just needed one compiler upgrade. And let's just say that upgrades only become complicated when upgrading from potato and sid and apt can't read the older package files. ;-) Which I happened to do recently, since I only had a potato disc handy. :) | 12:22 |
| eli | Demitar: in windows 390 is not much memory.... B | 12:23 |
| eli | Demitar: about resizing: will try it later. It just finished downloading the packages, and it is not unpacking them. Lets get first a system that works. | 12:23 |
| Demitar | eli, well, the main memory hogs for me are firefox and evolution (or thunderbird). But I'm a console person so I probably don't count (a few terminals, emacs and a browser and I'm happy ;) ). | 12:24 |

| randabis | ubuntu makes use of the sudo command | 12:31 |
| Demitar | (Prevents remote root logins and that entire madness as a bonus.) | 12:32 |

| randabis | eli, it will be in your gnome applications menu under system tools | 12:33 |
| randabis | optionally you can make your own root terminal launcher | 12:34 |

| claudio__ | i have two sound cards a realtek ac97 and a soundblaster pci 128, how i choose ?? | 01:58 |
| norman | <Riddell> norman: add the universe repository | 01:59 |
| ToM- | claudio__: leave the other's drivers out? Or tell Alsa to use the soundblaster as primary | 01:59 |
| norman | ? | 01:59 |
| claudio__ | the realtek is onboard i want to use the sb | 01:59 |
| Ephemeral | is Fluxbox in Universe? | 01:59 |

| claudio__ | how i tell alsa to use the soundlaster? | 02:02 |
| Ephemeral | ToM, Make some space, then use "Guided Partitioning" | 02:02 |
| ToM- | Ephemeral: My harddisk already has linux on it | 02:02 |

| Phineas | maliks: Check out http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/hints/2003-July/000525.html and see if that helps you | 03:17 |
| Demitar | maliks, the "simple" way is to download the samba .deb (which you apparently have) and extract the file from there. (Either using midnight commander (mc) or using ar and tar.) | 03:17 |
| HrdwrBoB | lyy: it's a more sensible idea | 03:18 |
| maliks | phineas: ok checking out the link | 03:18 |
| HrdwrBoB | lyy: sudo is better because you do less things as root | 03:18 |
| jdub | lyy: er, dude...? it's a basic compartmentalisation security tactic. | 03:18 |
| Demitar | lyy, su leads to a lot of root consoles lying about. | 03:18 |

| Phineas | alright, who's still looking for help? | 03:19 |
| lyy | i used sudo before, but not all the time | 03:19 |
| zAo^ | Demitar, I use the Ubuntu drivers | 03:19 |
| HrdwrBoB | zAo^: an FX5200 won't be much better, you'd really need a 5700+ for reasonable performance | 03:19 |
| jdub | lyy: because you to su to a root shell instead of running single commands with elevated privileges. | 03:19 |
| Demitar | lyy, since "sudo foo bar" is simpler than su -c "" type passwd (again, and again and again) | 03:19 |
| lyy | so i don't know all the little details with sudo, but it feels kinda dumb to use sudo and then type my password | 03:19 |
| HrdwrBoB | lyy: it's also much simpler to have one password | 03:20 |
| jdub | lyy: it's certainly not stupid (perhaps "different" is the word you're looking for), and i'm not sure how microsoft is related to the ubuntu security policy. | 03:20 |
| usual | there is no such thing as stupid people, there is only The rest of the world and Fedora users | 03:20 |

| Phineas | lyy, then use su, no one is stopping you ;) | 03:20 |
| jdub | lyy: read the page i linked to above. | 03:20 |
| Demitar | lyy, consider the case where there are more than one person with elevated privileges. | 03:20 |

| maliks | And thanks phineas too | 03:21 |
| Demitar | HrdwrBoB, still one password can be slightly treacherous since cleartext passwords aren't quite eradicated yet. | 03:21 |
| Phineas | maliks, you're welcome - sorry for getting snippy | 03:21 |
| AndyR | orga, i had wondered :) | 03:21 |
| Demitar | maliks, chmod +x /etc/init.d/samba | 03:21 |
| Phineas | poolio, will do | 03:21 |
| HrdwrBoB | Demitar: though we're talking about a desktop system for the most part | 03:22 |
| ogra | AndyR: the question is if someone made significant changes you will notice ;) | 03:22 |
| jdub | HrdwrBoB: *cough* | 03:22 |
| lyy | Demitar: i just don't like groups with admin power except for root | 03:22 |
| AndyR | like all broke | 03:22 |
| HrdwrBoB | and a server system has less things that are likely to be plaintext | 03:22 |
| HrdwrBoB | (in theory) | 03:22 |
| Demitar | maliks, but wether it's run is really run is controlled by /etc/rc.*/* | 03:22 |
| jdub | lyy: root is generally regarded as a bad centralisation of privileges. | 03:23 |
| lyy | jdub: explain why having only one person have admin powers is bad | 03:23 |
| jdub | lyy: ah, this is a different problem | 03:23 |
| duzchip | Anyone know how to start coding a terminal ? | 03:23 |
| Demitar | lyy, sudo doesn't dictate any policy on that matter. | 03:24 |
| jdub | lyy: root being superuser doesn't mean 'only one person has admin powers'. :) | 03:24 |
| AndyR | ogra, well i have done a daily on this comp and it seems ok so i will take my chances | 03:24 |
| duzchip | I wanna code my own rxtv or xterm or such | 03:24 |

| duzchip | buy i dont know how to start | 03:24 |
| lyy | jdub: i didn't say that | 03:24 |
| poolio | Phineas: By the way, "sda" is in /dev/scsi/hostX/bus0/target0/lun0/partX | 03:24 |
| jdub | lyy: awesome, so disabling the root account is sensible :) | 03:24 |
| Demitar | duzchip, do you have a good reason or just, "that would be fun"? :) | 03:24 |
| lyy | jdub: regardless of who has su powers, i feel there should only be 1. | 03:24 |

| usual | no permission | 03:30 |
| Demitar | RickA, readonly. | 03:30 |
| HrdwrBoB | that means you can't write to the documents | 03:30 |
| RickA | that's what I thought. How can I change that? | 03:30 |
| wrd | i have a quick question | 03:31 |
| wrd | how is the versioning system in ubuntu | 03:31 |
| RickA | it seems that I can write to the root of those partitions, but not to subdirectories | 03:31 |
| wrd | as i see in the packages-dists directory | 03:31 |
| wrd | there are hoary and warty | 03:31 |
| jdub | RickA: because fat32 doesn't understand multiple users, you have to mount it for your user - use uid=1000,gid=1000 in the fstab options | 03:31 |
| Demitar | lyy, since I now have more diskspace than I need the ubuntu way is preferable to the close scrunity on what packages I have installed I usually keep in debian with aptitude. | 03:31 |
| kbrooks | hiw do i use update-rc.d? i want a minimal example | 03:31 |
| wrd | which one is stable and whichone is unstable ? | 03:31 |
| jdub | wrd: year.month -> 4.10 == 2004.october | 03:32 |
| HrdwrBoB | wrd: warty is stable | 03:32 |
| HrdwrBoB | hoary is unstable | 03:32 |
| Phineas | wrd, each edition is given a name. Warty was the initial release, and hoary is the currently unstable one | 03:32 |
| wrd | thanks | 03:32 |
| jdub | wrd: hoary (will be 5.04) is the current devel branch | 03:32 |
| wrd | does anyone know wheter debian-ubuntu mixing works , or better said how well ? | 03:32 |
| kbrooks | wrd: DONT | 03:32 |
| jdub | wrd: we strongly discourage it - just use universe and multiverse :) | 03:32 |
| HrdwrBoB | wrd: it's not recommended at al | 03:32 |
| HrdwrBoB | *all | 03:32 |
| RickA | is the gid=1000 important? I've got the uid there already | 03:32 |
| jdub | RickA: yeah | 03:33 |
| Demitar | kbrooks, the manpage has some examples. | 03:33 |
| RickA | ok | 03:33 |
| wrd | the only package i want is X.org 6.8.x | 03:33 |
| RickA | so I just add the options, umount and mount? | 03:33 |
| jdub | wrd: not worth the pain. | 03:33 |
| jdub | RickA: yep | 03:33 |
| wrd | compiling myself is much more pain ;) | 03:33 |
| nir | anyone noticed that the language list in the installer is NOT sorted? | 03:33 |
| nir | at least in Hebrew | 03:34 |
| jdub | wrd: well, upgrade to the devel branch and help us test, or stick to the stable, supported release. | 03:34 |
| HrdwrBoB | wrd either go with hoary or use xfree until it comes out stable | 03:34 |
| jdub | nir: good bug :) | 03:34 |
| nir | could it be that the English list is translated as is? | 03:34 |
| wrd | the thing is i already have installed debian | 03:34 |
| RickA | no luck, the locks are still there | 03:34 |
| kbrooks | RickA, when you mount a fat32 partition, the keernel assigns an arbitrary uid and guid to all the files residing in the partition. | 03:35 |
| RickA | I'll reboot in a moment, see if that effects anything | 03:35 |
| RickA | ah | 03:35 |
| kbrooks | RickA, did you umount and mount? | 03:35 |

| SuSE|UsER | Hi | 04:30 |
| offbyone | How would I do that? | 04:30 |
| Ng | offbyone: do you want to overwrite the files that are already there? or install it into a new location? | 04:31 |
| === PWM_ [~PWM@50A2E1C8.flatrate.dk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| offbyone | overwrite | 04:31 |
| Ng | the prefix will be /usr then | 04:31 |
| offbyone | Okay | 04:31 |
| offbyone | That's a bit odd, mind you -- why the underuse of /usr/local? | 04:31 |
| offbyone | (I'm new to this distribution, so I'm trying to get a handle on the operational philosophy) | 04:32 |
| Ng | /usr/local is for things you install by hand really | 04:32 |
| offbyone | I see | 04:32 |
| offbyone | I suppose that makes for a fairly clear separation of things. I always use /opt, myself, at least for binary apps :/ | 04:32 |

| Ng | offbyone: you could grab the debian package source and rebuild that | 04:41 |
| ogra | offbyone: building from source may work if you can satisfy the build dependencys | 04:41 |
| Ng | yeah, what ogra said ;) | 04:41 |
| offbyone | How does that work, anyway? If I upgrade from source, and then later a package comes out, what happens? I've done that with Ruby already, because the Warty version is, well, warty. | 04:41 |

| === seth_slackware is now known as seth_ubuntu | ||
| Ng | offbyone: it's unlikely warty would change enough for there to be a problem, but at some point you might find that apt doesn't want to upgrade because something is depending on the package you built, in which case you remove it, let apt upgrade and then build the package again | 04:42 |

| Guardiann | dist-upgrade that i did was a few days ago worked pefectly | 04:45 |
| superkitty | 386 | 04:45 |
| offbyone | Ng, ogra: The problem is that Svn is notorious for ugly upgrades -- the repository format isn't rock-solid, especially the DB type. So it's a bit of a pain. | 04:45 |
| piratePenguin | no offence to anyone, but the mISDN howto @ http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/IsdnHowto is completely crap :p | 04:45 |
| ogra | offbyone: ever tried arch or bazaar ? | 04:45 |
| PWM_ | LinuxJones, yeah, I've used that one... both with manual configuration and automatic configuration - none of them seem to work | 04:46 |
| ogra | piratePenguin: i wrote it, whats wrong with it ? | 04:46 |
| offbyone | ogra, no. And, frankly, I don't really intend to. Svn integrates w/ Eclipse, and has every VC feature I need. | 04:46 |
| Ng | offbyone: might be an idea to stick with the subversion that's in warty maybe? | 04:46 |
| offbyone | (ie: mopd_dav_svn is the new black) | 04:46 |
| piratePenguin | ogra: I *cannot* get it to work... Don't I need to install capi* binaries? (like capiinit etc..)? | 04:46 |
| offbyone | Ng, The problem is, the svn version in Warty is a bit fragile -- the repository format isn't too solid, and there are security issues that have been fixed in later versions. | 04:47 |
| LinuxJones | PWM_, set it to use dhcp then /etc/init.d/networking restart | 04:47 |

| sulkd | scoon, the problem with cdrecord is that it isn't really a piece of application software, it's more a frontend's engine anyway... since the developer made no effort at all to make any choices for the user, but just mirrored the available options provided by the ioctl interface of the drivers and just pile on the options.. no man should ever have to get that intimate with his cdrw/dvdr recorder just to backup some data | 05:15 |

| pw | It's when I get 350fps that I know it's gone all banana-shaped. | 05:46 |
| piratePenguin | no :D ... lol, thanks LinuxJones | 05:47 |
| aethera | you cant load theb GLX in the config | 05:47 |
| pw | UT2K4 in software mode is also non-amusing. | 05:47 |
| aethera | nvidia uses its own | 05:47 |

| offbyone | Ng, One more question -- I'm not seeing how to lock a package in Synaptic. Is there a dpkg command or apt command I should use instead? I'm not a fan of the Synaptic app -- sluggish, and the command line is more powerful :) | 05:48 |

| pw | blair: do you want me to /msg you my XF86Config-4 ? | 05:48 |

| Br34ch | 45 packages . . . I presume that'd be about 100 mb? o.0 | 07:05 |
| njan | Br34ch, it probably won't break anything, but it'd be very messy | 07:06 |
| Ng | Br34ch: yep. When you hit Apply it will give you a complete list of what is being installed/upgraded, so you can check it's not going to remove anything | 07:06 |
| njan | Br34ch, just apt-get install xfce4 | 07:06 |
| Ng | njan: that's exactly the same as doing it in synaptic, surely? | 07:06 |
| Br34ch | njan: It gives me scary messages when i do that.. | 07:06 |
| njan | Ng, yes, but searching for xfce, you'll get every package with xfce in it | 07:06 |
| njan | Ng, which includes xfce (xfce3), and xfce4 if I'm not mistaken. | 07:06 |
| Ng | njan: I did say to install the xfce4 package :) | 07:06 |
| njan | Ng, and all of the addon packages as well | 07:06 |
| njan | Br34ch ng: Is it safe to mark everything for installation, that lists after i searched for "Xfce?" | 07:07 |
| njan | Ng, but that's what he asked :) | 07:07 |
| Ng | true | 07:07 |
| Ng | but running to a shell is a poor solution ;) | 07:07 |
| njan | well, then, search for the xfce4 package and install that :p | 07:07 |
| MainVoid | jcoxon77, If I'll see him/her I'll try to remember.. ;) | 07:07 |
| crimsun | piratePenguin: sudo modprobe -r usbaudio && sudo modprobe snd-usb-audio | 07:07 |
| Ng | Br34ch: only mark the xfce4 package for installation in synaptic, or use the shell command njan gave you (run it with sudo) | 07:07 |
| Br34ch | root@tosh:/home/khan # apt-get install xfce4 // E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) // E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? // | 07:07 |
| jcoxon77 | MainVoid: thanks | 07:07 |
| njan | Ng, I find the shell easier to use than synaptic :p | 07:07 |
| njan | Br34ch, that's because you have synaptic running at the same time | 07:08 |
| Br34ch | Oh, okay | 07:08 |
| njan | Br34ch, you can only have one apt-related application running at a time :) | 07:08 |
| piratePenguin | crimsun: root@piratepenguin:/proc/asound # modprobe -r usbaudio | 07:08 |
| piratePenguin | FATAL: Module usbaudio not found. :| | 07:08 |
| njan | Br34ch, so if you have synaptic running, just select the xfce4 package and install that | 07:08 |
| njan | Br34ch, it'll select all the other packages that it needs to install xfce4 automagically, as they're dependancies of the xfce4 package | 07:08 |
| njan | Br34ch, so you'll have xfce4-icons, xfce4-themes, etc. | 07:08 |
| Br34ch | It's . . . working :D | 07:08 |
| Br34ch | closed the Synaptic and it worked.. I'm happy that it worked, because yesterday I couldn't do anything with that . . . most said it was because I hadn't "universe enabled" or something of that sort.. | 07:09 |
| njan | of course! did you expect it to break? :-p | 07:09 |

| Ng | Br34ch: there is a plugin for that, but I'm not sure if it'll be very easy to install :( | 07:15 |
| piratePenguin | crimsun: apparently its in use :@ | 07:16 |
| Br34ch | eeps | 07:16 |
| Cloudchaser | maybe someone else can help me out..i went to gnoppix.org and it says there's a new hoary live cd out as of jan 20..i download it and try to run it and it seems to be an installer, not a live cd! | 07:16 |
| piratePenguin | crimsun: I'll reboot anyhow, and see what happens | 07:16 |
| Br34ch | Well, this . . . thing is complete, I'm gonna reboot and try tweaking with that.. once again, thanks everyone for the help.. :D | 07:16 |
| Scooter | <Cloudchaser> go to Distrowatch.com ,they have a nnewer version link.. | 07:17 |
| Cloudchaser | has anyone else tried or found a new hoary live cd? | 07:17 |
| kent | Scooter, perhaps look at "dmesg" (run it in a terminal) when you insert the joystick? if its recognised, you will perhaps see which device it's at..) | 07:17 |
| Scooter | Thanks Kent iwill try that :) | 07:17 |
| Cloudchaser | shouldn't that one on gnoppix site be fixed then? | 07:17 |
| Cloudchaser | wasted alot of time with downloading an installer instead of a live cd | 07:17 |

| Cloudchaser | it didn't but there wasn't one that said live cd in the link to the live cd | 07:18 |

| MainVoid | s/hat/what/ | 07:19 |
| arabflak | Because I had a re-install and my network stuff didn't get detected. | 07:19 |
| occy | crimsun: howdy, did you ever get that ltconf application ubunti-ified? | 07:19 |
| arabflak | I have now unblocked the normal apt-sources, but those are simple security updates and such. | 07:19 |

| arabflak | Yeah, just in general. | 07:20 |
| ogra | Cloudchaser: it starts a live session at the point where the installer would start partitioning | 07:20 |
| Cloudchaser | oh how confusing | 07:21 |
| arabflak | For instance, I want to apt-get blender, but I can't, it's not on the currently added apt-servers. | 07:21 |
| Cloudchaser | so i have to let it get further than i did | 07:21 |
| piratePenguin | crimsun: still cant modprobe -r audio.. its in use.. | 07:21 |
| arabflak | MainVoid, sorry about not highlighting these sentences, i'm kinda new at all this:) | 07:21 |
| MainVoid | arabflak, so, there was something specific u were looking for.. well, there's 2 things u can do there then... | 07:21 |
| ogra | Cloudchaser: they use the same base, so it will be possible to make a _real_ install from the livecd....unlike knoppix that just copys the image to HD | 07:21 |
| arabflak | MainVoid, and that would be? | 07:22 |

| VipeRmaN | Well I guess I could install and find out lol.. I put the live cd in and it didnt seem to work but im guessing thats because it doesnt install drivers and stuff correct? | 07:44 |
| Cloudchaser | from jan 20 | 07:44 |

| crimsun | occy: hmm, the compilation failed due to a syntax error. I'll have to look at uic. | 08:27 |
| DragoraN | Riddell: my kde is crashing.. kcrm or what.. khotkeys and so.. | 08:27 |
| VipeRmaN | Ah, Well when I try to install I get this screen, "Load installer components from CD" "Installation step failed" 233 or 300.. | 08:27 |
| crimsun | piratePenguin: is the usb headset detected now? which device is it, 0 or 1? | 08:28 |
| mhz | piratePenguin: the thing is that this is my 1st time using Fluxbox in a System that also has Gnome. So I have noticed there are some details regarding font sizes for some applications when run under Fluxbox BUT under Gnome. | 08:28 |
| VipeRmaN | but the bad part is it only has 32megs of ram | 08:28 |
| DragoraN | Riddell: and my geforce 4 mx 460 stops to send signal to monitor then startx, i see nvidia logo and then monitor goes to standby | 08:28 |
| DragoraN | Riddell: same in windows xp | 08:28 |
| jcoxon77 | VipeRmaN: the ram should still be fine (i have linux (not ubuntu) on a 386 with 8mb of ram | 08:28 |
| SirPsy | refresh rate problem ? | 08:28 |
| VipeRmaN | hmm, cdrom? | 08:28 |
| ogra | VipeRmaN: the min reqs are 64MB for ubuntu | 08:29 |
| Cindux | viper why not run ubuntu live | 08:29 |
| crimsun | mhz: Are you saying some fonts sizes differ? Are you executing `gnome-settings-daemon' in a rxvt after fluxbox loads? | 08:29 |
| SirPsy | can anyone help me to force duplex settings during bootup ? | 08:29 |
| VipeRmaN | internet and such doesnt work with it | 08:29 |
| jcoxon77 | VipeRmaN: i've got to go... but good luck! something will work in the end :) | 08:29 |
| crimsun | SirPsy: what did you need earlier? | 08:29 |
| ogra | VipeRmaN: to have a nice work experience you sould have at least 128, better 256MB | 08:29 |

| VipeRmaN | loL I'll get it, thanks for all the help jcoxon77 | 08:29 |
| Cindux | i say 256, | 08:29 |
| SirPsy | earlier i couldnt install the e100 driver | 08:29 |
| Cindux | i have 128 and its still a bit laggy | 08:29 |
| Cindux | anyway | 08:30 |
| ogra | Cindux: imagine 64 ;) | 08:30 |
| Cindux | bla lol | 08:30 |
| SirPsy | wich i discussed with you yesterday orso, i solved the problem by blacklisting the ee100 module in hotplug | 08:30 |
| Schaap | Ok, ive tried seraching, but how do i enable telnet? | 08:30 |
| Cindux | i have 2 sticks of 128mb for my p3 600m hz | 08:30 |
| piratePenguin | crimsun: well I can hear sound outta it... its 0 | 08:30 |
| Cindux | but the mobo only suppots 128 | 08:30 |
| Cindux | :( | 08:30 |
| Schaap | server on ubunte? | 08:30 |
| SirPsy | now i got the nic working sofar i can use it | 08:30 |
| VipeRmaN | Well ihave a computer with an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 1.67ghz and 512mb of ram but wanted to test on something else first | 08:30 |
| mhz | crimsun: hi. Nop. Basically, if I run Firefox (for example) or Xchat under Gnome, they look alright. Once I run them under Fluxbox, fons get too small. | 08:30 |
| SirPsy | but after boot i have to set ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 10 duplex half | 08:30 |
| crimsun | piratePenguin: what does /proc/asound/devices tell you regarding it? | 08:30 |
| SirPsy | in order to get it to work | 08:30 |
| Cindux | just do View - Increase text size | 08:30 |
| SirPsy | now is my question how to get it to use the speeds at bootup as it forgets when the settings after reboot | 08:31 |
| crimsun | mhz: so in a rxvt, execute `gnome-settings-daemon', then restart mozilla-firefox | 08:31 |
| === bluefoxicy reboot to new hardened kernel | ||
| ogra | Schaap: you could install telnetd, but i really wouldnt suggest it....its highly insecure....use ssh | 08:31 |
| piratePenguin | crimsun: #flood | 08:31 |
| Cindux | Just a question to someone who would know | 08:31 |
| mhz | crimsun: if i do that, will fonts change once I run Gnome ? | 08:31 |

| kbrooks | I'm good | 08:52 |
| Schaap | is there a SSH client in windows? | 08:52 |
| godsmoke | there are a few SSH options for windows | 08:52 |
| godsmoke | the main one would be PuTTY | 08:52 |
| godsmoke | http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 08:53 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | tritium: i already know about that. | 08:53 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | tritium: but is what i asked possible? | 08:53 |
| tritium | BROKEN_LADDER, you asked | 08:53 |
| Schaap | Cheers | 08:53 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | i asked a different question. | 08:53 |
| godsmoke | Schaap: there are a few commercial ssh clients as well | 08:53 |
| crimsun | BROKEN_LADDER: not that I'm aware, because the first login will grab whatever's defined in /etc/inittab or /etc/gdm/gdm.conf (usually vt7) | 08:54 |
| godsmoke | oh -- how fun | 08:54 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | i'm asking whether there is a way to just spawn one gdm on boot, but have it spawn new xservs for each new login, so that i never start up more x servers than i need. | 08:54 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | it would be handy if gdm eventually managed to pull off something similiar to the current OSX/WINXP login style. | 08:54 |

| randabis | I'd help develop if I knew programming. I like testing software though :) haven't found any bugs though that haven't been reported | 09:20 |
| godsmoke | DAC1138: there's a package for the kernel source -- or you can use 'vanilla' source from kernel.org | 09:20 |

| DAC1138 | warty | 09:21 |
| godsmoke | there's a package | 09:21 |
| crimsun | DAC1138: linux-source-2.6.8.1 | 09:21 |

| jaco_ | anyway if i'll be sure of what i say, surely i'll report a bug | 09:21 |
| DAC1138 | in synaptic, shouldnt i see in when i search for it? | 09:21 |
| randabis | what do you need the default kernel for out of curiosity? | 09:21 |
| tanek | is there any way to get cedega to use esd? or some other way to have sound from cedega-emulated stuff and other stuff at the same time? | 09:21 |

| godsmoke | DAC1138: yes -- search for "kernel-source" -- should come up | 09:21 |

| zenrox | DAC1138, then read www.ubuntuguide.org | 09:22 |
| crimsun | DAC1138: you need to enable 'main' | 09:22 |

| seb128 | subterri1ic: thanks | 09:47 |
| setite | thats a good question that i was abotu to to ask | 09:47 |
| setite | which OS do i install first | 09:47 |
| setite | ive always done windows first... what if i did ubuntu first | 09:47 |
| cardador | setite: windows | 09:47 |
| subterri1ic | seb128: you're welcome, i'm itching to try gnome-launch-box :) | 09:47 |
| setite | viper the installation will ask you which partition | 09:48 |
| ogra | setite: win wilck you HDl hija | 09:48 |
| cardador | setite: windows will change the mbr, so its better to install it first | 09:48 |
| setite | i didnt understand what you said but i think i get it | 09:48 |
| setite | yea fucking windows | 09:48 |
| ogra | setite: win will hijack your HD | 09:48 |
| jaco_ | what's windows? :)))) | 09:48 |
| setite | doesnt know how to take a passenger seay | 09:48 |
| seb128 | subterri1ic: have you rebuilt it with the new autoconf, or that's just a suggestion ? | 09:48 |
| setite | viper... if you have windows.... be sure to defragment... then partition... then install ubuntu | 09:49 |
| VipeRmaN | well I use Partition Magic 8 | 09:49 |
| VipeRmaN | just made the partition | 09:49 |
| setite | perfect | 09:49 |
| subterri1ic | seb128: the other program i'm talking about in the comment is gnome-launch-box. i downloaded the source while i was waiting for your package to show up | 09:49 |
| setite | thats what i used | 09:49 |
| isom | how do I get mousegestures for firefox? | 09:49 |
| setite | did you defragment first | 09:49 |
| setite | or is this a fresh install | 09:49 |
| VipeRmaN | no but I think pm8 did it for me | 09:50 |
| setite | nope | 09:50 |
| crimsun | jaco_: the build process for gtk-gnutella is broken in the package. I'll see if I can iron it out. | 09:50 |
| LinuxJones | isom, you install extension | 09:50 |
| VipeRmaN | i defragment often | 09:50 |
| setite | i dont think it does that | 09:50 |
| setite | ok... then you should be good | 09:50 |
| subterri1ic | seb128: so autoreconf fixed the gnome-launch-box build, and it was showing the same behavior as evolution-exchange-storage, so i'm assuming it is related | 09:50 |
| VipeRmaN | oh well i think it will be ok though | 09:50 |
| VipeRmaN | Im gonna go, thanks for everything :) | 09:50 |
| setite | if windows starts crashing... then you will know you need to defrag | 09:50 |

| HrdwrBoB | DAC1138: mkinitrd | 11:25 |
| DAC1138 | a new initrd, based on my new kernel | 11:25 |
| [m0rph] | lyy: it's different for each password | 11:25 |
| meskes | lyy: ah, right | 11:25 |
| DAC1138 | so just mkinitrd from the kernel source directory? | 11:25 |
| lyy | [m0rph] : really? | 11:25 |
