| jcoxon77 | got it, you do need to wlan-ng to configure i think | 12:15 |
| jdub | tritium: heh, not yet, going to announce/webpageise today | 12:15 |
| jcoxon77 | one sec | 12:15 |

| VipeRmaN | okay | 12:16 |
| Scooter | I am about to install new ATI drivers, should I got to runlevel init 3 first? or can I do it from synaptic? TIA :D this is hoary-64bit BTW :) | 12:16 |

| tritium | jdub, okay, thanks. I'll keep a look-out for it. | 12:16 |
| carambol | no bbc | 12:16 |
| tritium | William_Cain, the easiest way is to browse the packages using the Synaptic Package Manager. | 12:16 |
| carambol | but RP shows up in the menu | 12:16 |
| William_Cain | Ok, many thanks. | 12:16 |
| tritium | there are other ways, but that's what I recommend | 12:16 |
| adamist | p00p: you still here? | 12:16 |
| carambol | tritium how to fix it | 12:17 |
| tritium | William_Cain, if you enable the "universe" and "multiverse" repositories, there will be a lot of additional software available for installation | 12:17 |
| William_Cain | I believe I have done that. | 12:18 |
| jcoxon77 | go and have a look at http://people.zeelandnet.nl/triade/linux/wl-012.html | 12:18 |
| tritium | carambol, what do you mean? | 12:18 |
| carambol | tritium :but totem and mozplugger no problem | 12:18 |
| VipeRmaN | so is synaptic like linspires CNR? but free? | 12:18 |
| jcoxon77 | i think so | 12:18 |
| VipeRmaN | ok jcoxon77 | 12:18 |
| tritium | William_Cain, great :) | 12:18 |
| carambol | if i click a stream-link there is no reaction | 12:18 |
| jcoxon77 | you don't need to do the first bit | 12:18 |
| jcoxon77 | from about section 2.2 | 12:19 |
| tritium | carambol, did you install Marillat's realplayer package, or how did you install it? | 12:19 |
| William_Cain | I went to this Ubuntu FAQ page, and a lot of useful things were listed there. | 12:19 |
| William_Cain | But one question remains. | 12:19 |
| carambol | marillat before dist upgrading | 12:19 |
| tritium | William_Cain, there's also a wiki, www.ubuntuguide.org, and ubuntu forums | 12:19 |
| tritium | Check them out too! | 12:19 |
| William_Cain | Ah, that wiki page is exactly the one I was talking about. | 12:20 |
| tritium | And of course join us here | 12:20 |
| VipeRmaN | ok so do exactly what it says? | 12:20 |

| tritium | carambol, I'm not sure what the problem may be. Can you tell me any more? | 12:20 |
| jcoxon77 | sadly cause you don't have an internet connection you can't install it via synaptic | 12:20 |
| tritium | adamist, no. | 12:21 |
| VipeRmaN | lol is there a way to download it on here and save it to floppy? | 12:21 |
| jcoxon77 | yes | 12:21 |
| carambol | maybe it is form the warty backports? | 12:21 |
| tritium | William_Cain, what's your second question? | 12:21 |
| William_Cain | Graphic operations are really slow. Most screen savers run at 5 - 10 fps. How can I install the newest drivers for my graphic card? I have Radeon 9700 PRO. | 12:21 |
| tritium | Ah, an ATI card. I'm not the best one to ask on that. | 12:21 |
| VipeRmaN | Where do I get it from? | 12:21 |
| Scooter | http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BinaryDriverHowto <William_Cain> go here :) | 12:22 |
| aebcoat | viper you want to saave a package to install on another computer? | 12:22 |
| William_Cain | Thanks, Scooter. I'll have a look. | 12:22 |
| adamist | okay, other than universe and multiverse, are there other popular ubuntu repositories? | 12:22 |
| VipeRmaN | yes aebcoat | 12:22 |
| HrdwrBoB | adamist: no | 12:22 |
| Scooter | be sure to get kernel upgrade first if needed | 12:22 |

| aebcoat | one second viper i forgot where it saves it | 12:24 |
| vanRijn | Riddell: or can you just do apt-get install kdebase, kdepim, etc.? | 12:24 |
| VipeRmaN | aeb I dont have the internet on the computer I need the file on :) | 12:24 |
| Riddell | vanRijn: you have to enable the universe repository | 12:24 |
| carambol | tritium it said realplayer 8: not installed | 12:25 |
| William_Cain | Another question: When installing packages, I usually download around 400kb/s, but it sometimes drops to 3kb/s for a konsiderably long time. Is this normal? | 12:25 |

| aebcoat | that did it bob, thanks, i had files owned by root i wanted to get rid of and just used nautilus to erase them instead of using the terminal | 12:34 |
| scoon | jcoxon77, how does that work out for you. I am considering getting an ibook. | 12:34 |
| kent | VipeRmaN, the sad part about Linux/Gnome is that the way to handle floppy's are a bit strange. When you copied files to the floppy, dont just remove tha floppy. Make sure you "unmount" the floppy first before removing it. | 12:34 |
| Xolt | anyone know if ubuntu has GNUarch as a package? the 'tla' package isnt what i was looking for | 12:35 |
| VipeRmaN | How do I unmount it? | 12:35 |
| kent | VipeRmaN, i dont have a floppy so i cant say for sure, but i think rightclicking on the device and selecting unmount is enough. Otherwise the floppy will get a corrupt filesystem. | 12:35 |

| popey | Fleebailey33, freevo and mythtv are both good | 01:13 |
| kent | godnight. | 01:13 |
| Fleebailey33 | what parts would i need? i can get a p3 for free | 01:13 |
| knghtbrd | Fleebailey33: if you can get MPEG capture, you're good to go. | 01:14 |
| knghtbrd | else you might need a bigger CPU | 01:14 |
| dseomn | knghtbrd: I thought the official ubuntu stance was to use theora | 01:14 |
| Pluk | BROKEN_LADDER, you could check lufs-source and lufs-utils for ftpfs | 01:14 |
| Pluk | it also supports sshfs and httpfs | 01:15 |
| tritium | Fleebailey33, there are mythtv packages available in multiverse | 01:15 |
| Fleebailey33 | what kind of video card would i need? | 01:15 |
| popey | one with tv out :D | 01:15 |
| Fleebailey33 | i also want to make this with remote access on a powerbook | 01:15 |
| tritium | check out http://www.mythtv.org/ | 01:15 |
| knghtbrd | dseomn: theora? isn't that a video codec? | 01:15 |
| knghtbrd | oh! | 01:16 |
| Fleebailey33 | going to fun | 01:16 |
| Fleebailey33 | going to be fun* | 01:16 |
| knghtbrd | no, seriously, you want MPEG2 | 01:16 |
| knghtbrd | in hardware. | 01:16 |
| popey | Fleebailey33, remote access? | 01:16 |
| Fleebailey33 | yes | 01:16 |
| dseomn | knghtbrd: oh, I thought you meant software | 01:16 |
| Xolt | ubuntu's tla package isnt the real gnuarch package though... | 01:16 |

| HrdwrBoB | knghtbrd: which is native MPEG2, no dramas | 01:16 |
| knghtbrd | if you combine that with an MPEG decoder (Hollywood+ or DXR3 or something), you need VERY little CPU overhead. | 01:17 |
| knghtbrd | in fact, that's how the series 1 TiVo does it with a 53MHz CPU ;) | 01:17 |
| jdub | Xolt: erm...? | 01:17 |
| HrdwrBoB | not to mention higher quality | 01:17 |
| carambol | waht is the command to remove a directory withforce? | 01:17 |
| knghtbrd | MPEG2 decoder and encoder. | 01:17 |
| neighborlee | hi all.I have a nasty x cpu useage of around 20% or so...how do I tell whats causing it..ie: no other processes are taking cpu time ..??? ( kernel 2.6.10 and nvidia 6629 btw) | 01:17 |
| Xolt | jdub, ubuntu's tla package isnt like gnuarch.org | 01:17 |
| dseomn | carambol: rm -rf | 01:17 |
| jdub | Xolt: in what way? | 01:17 |
| carambol | ok | 01:17 |
| carambol | thnx | 01:17 |
| Xolt | all ways? i cant even 'tla register' an archive | 01:17 |
| jdub | tla register-archive is the command | 01:18 |
| knghtbrd | dseomn: capture cards come in two flavours, raw/MJPEG and MPEG. You want MPEG if you want to not need a boatload of spare CPU cycles | 01:19 |
| dseomn | knghtbrd: I never knew that (though it should have been obvious b/c it's similar to RAID cards) | 01:19 |
| jordi | wow, knghtbrd. What's up dude? | 01:20 |
| nevyn | and you want mjpeg/raw if you want complete control over encoding | 01:20 |
| knghtbrd | hi jordi | 01:21 |
| knghtbrd | nevyn: most people don't want their TV recorder to sound like an aircraft coming in for a landing | 01:21 |
| knghtbrd | the average high-power PC sounds like that | 01:21 |
| nevyn | the backend CAN be somewhere else. | 01:22 |
| nevyn | ie. basement machine room. under stairs. | 01:22 |
| dseomn | nevyn: that adds cost though | 01:22 |
| popey | indeed, friend of mine has his media box PXE boot from another machine | 01:22 |
| nevyn | only the frontend needs to be at the TV | 01:22 |
| popey | dseomn, not if you already have a server.. | 01:22 |
| jordi | knghtbrd: in case you don't remember, I realise I changed my nickname. I was Oskuro, from #debian-* | 01:23 |

| nevyn | dseomn: don't get me wrong linux rocks but it has deficiencies and ignoring them doesn't make them go away. | 02:05 |
| heliolith | tritium, yeah, but I think GPGP is also independent of PGP.... ie. i couldn't use it with my pgp keys, or with anyone else that's using pgp, but would have to get contacts to switch over as well... I'm going to try tkpgp which claims to be a front end for either | 02:05 |

| lanerebel | linuxjones, the livecd works fine, and it runs for the most part... if this doesn't work, I'll try playing around with some of the startup parameters, maybe if I disable pci and usb detection that'll help...:-/ | 02:19 |

| tritium | billytwowilly, that I don't know. | 02:59 |
| robertj | err default ubuntu srcs rather | 02:59 |

| ajmitch | DAC1138: initrd missing? | 03:00 |

| billytwowilly | tritium, they should be good, it looks like an awesome hunk of software;) | 03:02 |
| robertj | it will also work off of Ubuntu's source mods | 03:02 |

| === billytwowilly wonders how canonical stays in business sending out free cds all over the place. | ||
| crypticreign | tritium: nvidia | 03:02 |
| DAC1138 | hmmm. why would i want to do that? | 03:02 |
| robertj | they are applied to the vanilla sources during the build | 03:02 |
| nevyn | hrm | 03:02 |
| DAC1138 | i already have a kernel built and everything, i just need to get it to boot, but something inside ubuntu wont let it | 03:02 |
| robertj | you can supply your patches, your config and work with ubuntus config and build packages and that way if you go to install something that will break because of your custom kernel it will tell you | 03:02 |
| robertj | did you use --initrd? | 03:03 |
| DAC1138 | whats "--initrd" ? | 03:03 |
| robertj | magic | 03:03 |
| DAC1138 | whenever i build a custom kernel before, i never made a new initrd, and they all worked perfectly | 03:03 |
| robertj | it's just the first thing I would try | 03:04 |
| Pluk | if you want to use initrd youre supposed to make a new initrd everytime you make a new kernel | 03:04 |
| robertj | dpkg-buildpackage does it automagically | 03:04 |
| tritium | crypticreign, do your nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-common versions match? | 03:04 |
| DAC1138 | i dont even know how to make an initrd, and the manpages dont tell me anything useful | 03:04 |
| robertj | it's much better to use dpkg-buildpackage though | 03:04 |
| crypticreign | tritium: what dpkg parameter is that to check? | 03:05 |
| robertj | it will make your life much easier during upgrades | 03:05 |
| tritium | crypticreign, you can use "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" | 03:05 |
| tritium | robertj, what about kernel-package? | 03:05 |
| robertj | you will go to install a new program which will need an updated hal and it will say "I need a new kernel" and instead of download the latest kernel and isntalling it it will tell you | 03:05 |

| lanerebel | hey, can anyone tell me what the difference is between regular and recovery modes? | 03:16 |
| ThreeShot | Can I say something to the developers of Ubuntu or are they here ATM? | 03:17 |
| socomm | recovery mode is single user mode, regular mode is multiple user mode. | 03:17 |
| jdz_ | hi! I have an odd display resolution issue. When GDM comes up, it is 800x600, as it should be. However, when I log in, it lowers itself to 640x480. I can change it back up to 800x600 through gnome-display-properties. Any ideas why it lowers itself to 640x480 apon logging in? I'm running Hoary. | 03:17 |
| tritium | lanerebel, recovery mode is single-user mode, when root needs to fix stuff | 03:17 |
| lanerebel | so, would it be bad to always use recovery mode? my installation doesn't work in regular... | 03:17 |
| tritium | you won't get X in single-user mode | 03:18 |
| tritium | and it's not multi-user | 03:18 |
| lanerebel | it actually works, I just have to reset the path variable | 03:18 |

| ThreeShot | lanerebel, all I know is what i've done myself. neither 2.4 series nor 2.6 series has trouble with an i810 chipset. I know because when I used fedora I started with the 2.4 kernel then upgraded to 2.6 and neither had issues. | 03:25 |
| DAC1138 | so im taking it the error message i provided doesnt give any clues as to why ubuntu screwed the thing up? | 03:25 |
| neighborlee | socomm, no im saying the'new' kernel ie: 2.6.10 boots fine..my old one refuses to as it finds two differtent versions of nvidia packages | 03:25 |
| socomm | DAC1138: If I had to guess I'd say somethings up with your /dev fs | 03:25 |

| jdub | DAC1138: i've read the link. i have the same hardware (video, not laptop). | 03:49 |
| DAC1138 | jdub, the xserver has a special driver which needs the kernel source for the current running kernel. the one i downloaded didnt work...so im building a new kernel | 03:49 |
| tritium | smogger911, go to "Settings->Repositories" | 03:49 |

| tritium | smogger911, you'll need to look for the line where universe is, and make sure it's enabled | 03:51 |

| daniels | DAC1138: when did you try X.Org? | 03:52 |
| daniels | DAC1138: the packages that have been on the Hoary live CDs for the last couple of days might be a lot more useful in terms of support | 03:52 |
| DAC1138 | i think it was with vector 5.0, i think that was using x.org | 03:52 |
| sm | I had it working on this i845 before | 03:52 |
| DAC1138 | also, i think clusterknoppix was using x.org, and i tested knoppix here | 03:53 |
| daniels | DAC1138: i strongly suggest you try the hoary live cd, which should have these sorts of problems fixed in the last couple of days | 03:53 |
| daniels | DAC1138: (our X.org packages are a lot more up to date than Knoppix) | 03:53 |

| neighborlee | kent, so after upgrade you still could login to desktop | 04:27 |
| kent | neighborlee, i would actually try to remove the nvidia driver first if i was you. That might help. Just remove the package, and make *sure* you are not loading the nvidia kernel-module, and that you use "nv" and not "nvidia" as the driver for X. (if you know howto,..?) | 04:27 |
| kent | neighborlee, yes. but i could not use the nvidia driver. I dont know why, but X gets crazy then. I have an old tnt2-card, so i dont get much 3d anyway so i dont mind using the free driver. | 04:28 |

| tritium | wm_eddie, power management is being actively worked on in Hoary | 05:55 |

| wm_eddie | tritium: aw man, I should check it out then :( | 05:56 |

| wm_eddie | tritium: the problem is my laptop is APM | 05:57 |

| wm_eddie | Right now I'm trying to remember what I did to make my PCMCIA ethernet card work in 2.4 | 05:57 |

| pvh | trey3: idk? | 05:57 |
| VTepes | tritium: (or anyone else) can I upgrade, or is that a bad idea;)? | 05:58 |
| trey3 | pvh, apt-cache show xmms-xmmplayer | 05:58 |
| bob2 | lyy: do you have a mysql database you care about? | 05:58 |
| pvh | Also, I've noticed a lot of applications I'm installing don't show up in my applications menu. | 05:58 |
| tritium | VTepes, that depends on how comfortable you are with a distribution that hasn't been released as stable. | 05:58 |
| lyy | bob2: none that i know of. | 05:58 |
| pvh | Is that because they're coming from (uni|multi)verse? | 05:58 |
| bob2 | pvh: yup | 05:59 |
| VTepes | tritium: I think I'll stay with what I have for now... thanks:) | 05:59 |
| lyy | bob2: did you remove ? | 05:59 |
| tritium | VTepes, sure | 05:59 |
| pvh | bob2: I assume they're adding themselves to the Debian menu somewhere. Can I find that? | 05:59 |
| lyy | bob2: i'll just do what you do. | 05:59 |
| trey3 | bob2, not necissarily because of that... also because most aren't using the new menu spec etc... | 05:59 |
| trey3 | pvh, apt-get install 'menu' if you want Debian's menu... its a mess though imo | 06:00 |
| aebcoat | speaking of the debian menu- anyone know how t remove all invalid entries? | 06:00 |
| trey3 | uhh... without the ' 's though... | 06:00 |
| pvh | trey3: Such a mess. That's one thing I really like about ubuntu. | 06:00 |

| kuru | even though it doesn't _really_ break anything.. simply requires a package that isn't there (the package is there with 'ubuntu' affixed to the name whereas it's a debian pacakge so it doesn't have it) | 07:58 |

| Martok | LOL, I used Fedora Core. | 07:59 |
| trey3 | kuru, yes... its rather nice actually... but whatever... off subject.. | 08:00 |
| pertz | I've been considering ubantu lately because I don't like running Debian unstable due to the lack of security support, and the stable version just isn't cutting it due to age. | 08:00 |
| Martok | I thought it was cool until I realized it was just a test bed for Redhat developers to try new stuff. | 08:00 |
| kuru | pertz: I use ubuntu on my workstation and debian for my servers. | 08:00 |
| trey3 | pertz, most security stuff is already in the packages in sid... | 08:01 |

| Martok | I hope it's easy to configure. | 08:02 |
| pertz | Well security is a have to, so unstable doesn't quite cut it (even though I've always claimed Debian's "unstable" was as good as anyone else's "stable", but it's getting to the point where I'm having to compile a lot of crap by hand and try and watch security updates myself while running stable. I know they're close to a release, but I anticipate being in the same situation again another 1-2 years from now.... | 08:03 |
| jdz_ | Martok: It's part of Gnome, so it should be install and working. You'll just need to have whichever applications your using output to ESD instead of directly to ALSA or OSS | 08:03 |
| trey3 | jdz_, if he's using Ubuntu (one can assume he is) ... esd is being used by default... and uhh, well - going by his question - its still not working :/ | 08:03 |
| Martok | Yeah. | 08:03 |
| Martok | How do I configure it? | 08:03 |

| jdz_ | Martok: It should work with any card. But an application might not be using ESD. | 08:04 |
| Martok | I want the Gnome sounds to play, but still beable to listen to music in XMMS. | 08:04 |
| trey3 | pertz, seriously, most security updates are just backported from new packages... take into account that the devels use sid in most cases... you think they want security holes? | 08:04 |
| kuru | pertz: and Debian's unstable is not as good as anyone's stable (unless you're talking MS).. it can get quite messy. | 08:04 |
| jdz_ | Martok: Ah! Right. Go into XMMS's output settings. There should be a drop-down box, select ESD | 08:04 |

| Martok | Output plugin? | 08:05 |
| crimsun | kuru: ...subjectively. :) | 08:05 |
| pertz | I've run unstable before too with really good results. | 08:05 |
| randabis | hey someone see if this works | 08:05 |
| randabis | http://67.10.177.213/mmpr2.ogg | 08:05 |
| trey3 | pertz, dselect is even being deprecated in Debian in favor of Aptitude... Ubuntu comes with this... | 08:05 |
| jdz_ | Martok: The basic theroy is you can only have one application outputting sound to the card at once (unless it has hardware mixing). So to get mutiple applications, you need a sound daemon (like ESD) to do software mixing. If an application tries to output directly to the sound card, it won't work. | 08:05 |
| trey3 | s/this/both/ | 08:06 |
| pertz | Just afraid to run it on a critical production box - I've kept it on the edges. | 08:06 |
| Martok | Oh, ok. | 08:06 |
| kuru | trey3: sure.. but not on a server | 08:06 |
| Martok | So is Gnome outputing directly? | 08:06 |
| kuru | trey3: that can cause havoc | 08:06 |
| pertz | Yea, I know, they're phasing dselect :P | 08:06 |
| kuru | trey3: cause there have been times when it was _very_ unstable | 08:06 |
| kuru | trey3: broken pacakges, etc. | 08:06 |
| kuru | trey3: most of the time it's smooth | 08:06 |
| jdz_ | Martok: ESD is outputting directly. Everything else needs to output to ESD, which does the mixing. | 08:06 |

| pertz | Ubantu doesn't track all of the packages debian does though right? And I'm guessing if I grabbed the debian version of one I'm suddently going to be looking at a lot of dependancy problems? | 08:07 |
| kuru | pertz: yes, mostly due to package namings | 08:08 |
| crimsun | pertz: it's quite possible that you'll run into dependency issues. | 08:08 |

| trey3 | jdz_, not utterly true... for instance... no 'alsaconf'... | 08:10 |

| poningru | oh heh | 08:25 |

| poningru | hmm | 08:26 |
| bob2 | the ubuntu disks use an initrd to avoid that | 08:26 |
| bob2 | poningru: why do you think it's disabled? | 08:26 |
| calamari | the initrd is 4mb .. way too big for a floppy | 08:26 |
| bob2 | then you need a custom kernel | 08:26 |
| pertz | Does universe pull from more sources than just Debian? | 08:26 |
| bob2 | no | 08:26 |
| trey3 | calamari, default kernels are build to the lowest common denominator... having it built in would probably upset people who don't need it? | 08:26 |
| bob2 | well, "99.99% no" | 08:26 |
| trey3 | calamari, I don't really see why having it as a module would break booting from a bootdisk though :/ | 08:27 |
| bob2 | trey3: some drivers conflict when built in, too | 08:27 |
| trey3 | bob2, that too... | 08:27 |

| sangriag | yes | 10:27 |
| HrdwrBoB | I would recommend against that :) | 10:27 |
| MainVoid | sangriag: right.. so my first question then is, can u get me output from mount from both FC1 and ubuntu64? | 10:27 |
| HrdwrBoB | I stick to one partition per OS preferably | 10:27 |
| MainVoid | HrdwrBoB: so would I.. ;) | 10:27 |
| sangriag | yes | 10:28 |
| carambol | is realplayer10 working with Hoary? | 10:28 |
| HrdwrBoB | and I think ubuntu uses a different default uid to fc | 10:28 |
| MainVoid | sangriag: it'd be interesting to see which partition gets mounted in FC1 for /home and respectively in U64.. | 10:29 |
| sangriag | Hrdwrbob and mainvoid, I used to do the same but I got into two accidents in the past while compiling when I was with a single partition. There was no space and everything garbled | 10:29 |
| sangriag | :-( | 10:29 |
| sangriag | Okay | 10:29 |
| === neighborlee is away: I stepped out for a bit | ||
| sangriag | You can get the shared partition and ubuntu64 at the above URL | 10:29 |

| === ICU [~me@host-95173.ewetel.de] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| MainVoid | sangriag: just wanna confirm how things stand.. | 10:30 |

| sangriag | And the /swap, /tmp and /home are shared | 10:32 |
| MainVoid | sangriag: there's, like HrdwrBoB pointed out, another issue to remember as well... UID's ... | 10:32 |
| MainVoid | sangriag: the same users would have to have the same UID's and GID's in both distro's.. | 10:32 |
| MainVoid | sangriag: or you'd run into permissions issues... | 10:33 |
| sangriag | But the problem is with X now | 10:33 |
| sangriag | not default IDs | 10:33 |
| MainVoid | sangriag: that is however another thing to think of and not primary at the moment.. | 10:33 |
| sangriag | else I can link the /home to somewhere else? | 10:33 |

| MainVoid | sangriag: I'd probably only share the swap partition to be quite honest with you.... | 10:35 |

| Ng | MainVoid: that's not too hard to work around, but yeah | 10:36 |

| Ng | pvh: as far as I know parted or qtparted are your only option, but there might be another one hiding in there somewhere ;) | 10:50 |
| sangriag | Ng: thanks, when I try to install ubuntu-desktop it just asks to insert the warty CD and when installed it said failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com.ubuntu/.....<packagenames> and at the end Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing | 10:50 |
| pvh | Ng: Thanks. | 10:51 |
| MainVoid | sangriag: from that URL, it seems ur sources.list may be screwed, just slightly.... | 10:51 |
| Ng | sangriag: are you using apt-get or synaptic atm? If you're using apt-get do an "apt-get update" and if you're using Synaptic click the Reload button, you probably just need new package listings | 10:51 |
| sangriag | pvh, go for qtpated then | 10:51 |

| Ng | pvh: you certainly don't want to be moving/resizing partitions that you have mounted | 10:54 |
| pvh | This is just free space. | 10:54 |

| MainVoid | pvh: if u do change a part u r using, u may loose data, in worst case... | 10:55 |
| pvh | Now, I don't mean to rag on qtparted, but it's really, really stupid to allow the user to do something that can destroy the partition they're using. | 10:56 |
| MainVoid | IMAlbert: what is ur concern? | 10:56 |
| sangriag | Ng, apt-get update gives the similar temporary error with no such files or directory and "Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead" | 10:56 |
| MainVoid | pvh: loose data is my std disclaimer.. I'm overly cautious.. | 10:56 |
| pvh | I mean, why not just prompt the user with "This partition must be unmounted before committing." | 10:57 |
| Ng | pvh: to be fair, qtparted isn't in the main section of ubuntu, it's in universe, which means it's not officially an ubuntu supported package. I'm sure that in hoary or the one after they'll have a nice gparted interface with safe warnings and stuff | 10:57 |

| piper | Well, I'm back with the error messages. | 12:44 |
| trey3 | jdub, maybe you can think of something better? | 12:44 |

| MainVoid | IMAlbert: so, how do u do on a system that doesn't have multi-user support to make sure that doesn't happen? | 12:46 |
| piper | Any help would be great :) | 12:46 |
| IMAlbert | You don't. | 12:46 |
| MainVoid | IMAlbert: wrong, u install a proper OS, like ubuntu.. :D (sorry, couldn't help myself!) | 12:47 |
| MainVoid | IMAlbert: one answer would be to encrypt your files, which becomes cumbersome after a while.. ;) | 12:47 |
| IMAlbert | But doesn't Ubuntu HAVE multiuser support? | 12:48 |
| MainVoid | IMAlbert: my point exactly.. :D | 12:48 |
| piper | So, nobody can help? | 12:49 |
| IMAlbert | What might be simpler is to make it impossible for the other users to see your directory by selectivly fixing permissions and paths? | 12:50 |

| === derJunior [~derJunior@p5480A067.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| MainVoid | IMAlbert: yes, but ur initial point was that a home computer didn't need multi-user support.. | 12:50 |
| MainVoid | IMAlbert: like I said before, I'm only arguing the point for the arguments sake.. | 12:51 |
| trey3 | piper, sorry man... not very clear as to what exactly went wrong... we already knew something failed :( | 12:51 |
| MainVoid | IMAlbert: I do understand what u mean tho, and u r correct in that.. | 12:51 |
| IMAlbert | My intial point was actually that there was no such thing as a truly single user home computer. | 12:51 |
| MainVoid | trey3: does the installer give output on any of the other vt's that may be interesting? | 12:51 |
| MainVoid | IMAlbert: sounds then like I lost the argument, since I didn't read ur initial statement properly.. ;) DOH! | 12:52 |
| trey3 | MainVoid, I believe on vt1 (ie ctrl alt f2) ... worth a try... | 12:52 |
| trey3 | s/vt1/tty1/ | 12:52 |
| piper | It installed fine when I formatted the entire disk (months ago), but I can't afford to do that now... well, thanks anyway, the error messages are fairly vague themselves. | 12:52 |
| === trey3 is kinda brain dead atm :( | ||
| topyli | piper: something happened to a /home partition at work and i wasn't even formatting it. it said "won't be used". i thought, oh, i'll mount it later, but when i rebooted it was there :) | 12:52 |

| jcoxon77 | how do i explain this - the bottom panel allows you to switch between the programs you're running | 02:47 |
| tuxJr_14 | Petaris: whOO000ooo ooops | 02:47 |
| jcoxon77 | originally they were evenly spaced | 02:47 |
| netmonk | when I try to play dvd the sound is fine, but the picture stops every 3 seconds. Is that "normal" for that stage of development, or I need some serious help to make things work? | 02:48 |
| Petaris | tuxJr_14: ? | 02:48 |
| jcoxon77 | but now they are grouped together in the left corner so that i can only see the icons and not read the names | 02:48 |
| tritium | jcoxon77, it's the window list applet that does that. Does your panel span the entire width of the screen is what I'm asking. | 02:48 |

| jcoxon77 | tritium: yes | 02:48 |

| crypticreign | tritium: yes | 03:40 |
| tritium | crypticreign, if it does, try "cdrecord dev=ATAPI: --scanbus" | 03:40 |
| tritium | then you can configure cdrecord | 03:40 |

| trey3 | madsen, via some players you don't (WMP comes to mind... and I believe even kscd) but gnome-cd won't "bridge" that... | 05:51 |

| smurfslay | i have a notebook with SXGA+ display (1400*1050) but only get a 1280*1024 resolution... | 09:24 |
| ermo | trey3, lol, tried to 'minimize' bugzilla. And then metacity crashed. Duh. Hehe. By far the cutest bug I've seen in a while. | 09:24 |
| smurfslay | i patched the VBIOS with the 1400*1050 patch... but without success | 09:24 |
| trey3 | MFen, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pysvn/ <-- 2.3 is there... just download it? | 09:24 |
| trey3 | ermo, I wanted to kill people... | 09:25 |

| ztonzy | vitaminmoo, well...my latest ideas is targeting the mainboard | 10:12 |
| lerio | tritium: with deb * hoary universe ? | 10:12 |
| ermo | erGoline, what monitor and gfx card are you using again? | 10:12 |
| ztonzy | or rather maiboard+linux | 10:12 |

| erGoline | ermo, is a damend All-in-one LCD PC.. with a sis compatible VGA card | 10:13 |

| mbp_ | at least if your display is good enough to do that? | 10:13 |
| vitaminmoo | ztonzy: Hmm, odd | 10:14 |
| ztonzy | vitaminmoo, if I use Xchat in linux I suddenly see the lagmeter raise... | 10:14 |

| trey3 | lerio, you need the entire line: deb http://mirnyy.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main restricted universe multiverse | 10:19 |
| JoePenguin | ermo: mine usually go into /usr/src/ or /usr/local/src/ | 10:19 |

| njan | amos, they wouldn't have been if you didn't select them to be mounted during installation | 11:09 |
| cardador | amos: fat and ntfs are not mounted by default on Ubuntu. you have to edit /etc/fstab and add them | 11:09 |
| njan | amos, if you want it to happen automatically, you'll have to edit /etc/fstab | 11:09 |

| Upayavira | njan: why? | 11:11 |
| njan | Upayavira, if you have a partition used for /home, you could wipe the other partitions and leave that one (keep it as your /home partition) to preserve data; that would work fine | 11:11 |

| njan | Upayavira, depending upon what was on there previously. If you had gentoo on it, you'd have a bunch of crap in /usr/portage, for instance. | 11:11 |

| Upayavira | njan: preserving option of returning to my old distro if Ubuntu doesn't work out, and also preserving data | 11:12 |
| njan | Upayavira, you'd be better off backing up the whole drive and reformatting, or just preserving selected bits and pieces (/etc, /home, etc) | 11:13 |
| cardador | forceflow501: in Synaptic you can find it, just click the properties buttonm then installed files | 11:13 |

| ermo | erGoline, in 640x480? | 11:37 |
| crimsun | spiral: they differ in the base material and how much one has to download to sync with current hoary. If one starts with array*, then there're fewer packages to update. | 11:37 |

| keyshawn2 | howdy, any firefox users in here | 11:37 |
| ermo | erGoline, may I /query? | 11:37 |
| forceflow501 | yep | 11:37 |
| keyshawn2 | i have a search box question. | 11:37 |
| trey3 | crimsun, any ideas at all? ... cuz I'm all out :( | 11:37 |
| keyshawn2 | i'm trying to add/delete some searches, and I don't know how to do it. | 11:38 |
| keyshawn2 | [no access to root] | 11:38 |
| crimsun | trey3: unfortunately, my suggestion will be to try another distro like DSL | 11:38 |
| cg0def | crimsun: well in that case I suppose I am not running hoary is that the dev branch? | 11:38 |
| erGoline | ermo, of course | 11:38 |
| keyshawn2 | im trying to figure out how to chmod that directory, but im not sure. | 11:38 |
| crimsun | cg0def: hoary is the development branch, yes. | 11:38 |
| mdke | crimsun, sorry for delay. dunno about the driver: it is autodetected nicely | 11:39 |
| crimsun | trey3: or to use an older suse livecd that still uses lilo :/ | 11:39 |
| Aimio0 | me firefox | 11:39 |
| cg0def | crimsun: ok thanks for the info I guess I'll have to update | 11:39 |

| Aimio0 | Where does reward money for coding come from? | 11:39 |
| trey3 | crimsun, ok... thanks... | 11:40 |
| mdke | crimsun, have checked yes the driver is ipw2200. Also loaded are ieee80211 80211_crypt and firmware_class | 11:40 |
| kobach | i cant get my intel ethernet card to work. ive had it working once but it just wont connect anymore. can anyone help me | 11:41 |
| soulsyphon | so how is having the root account disabled more secure? | 11:41 |
| mdke | soulsyphon, more? | 11:41 |
| soulsyphon | since im in the adm group does that mean only i can use sudo? | 11:41 |
| mdke | soulsyphon, it is defined by /etc/sudoers | 11:41 |
| soulsyphon | ok | 11:41 |
| Aimio0 | I was wondering what pays for the ubutu bounties ( http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/bounties ) | 11:42 |
| |QuaD-_ | i have a few questions about converting a byte to an int. I am doing it by using: (new Integer((new Byte(b).intValue())), now if i put in a non 4 byte number, will it assume it is positive? | 11:42 |
| mdke | Aimio0, canonical is the company that runs ubuntu | 11:42 |
| soulsyphon | when i sudo -s it still asks for a password | 11:42 |
| farruinn | soulsyphon: concerning security, check the RootSudo wiki for details | 11:42 |
| |QuaD-_ | or how does it work, because i am confused about my output | 11:42 |
| mdke | soulsyphon, yes it should | 11:42 |
| soulsyphon | im reading it ATM | 11:42 |
| cg0def | crimsun: sorry for the questions but how would I switch to hoarty? I don't see any iso-s on the servers? | 11:42 |
| crimsun | |QuaD-_: that's a question for the jdk api docs :) | 11:42 |
| mdke | cg0def, don't do it | 11:42 |
| soulsyphon | ah whatever | 11:42 |
| cg0def | why not? | 11:42 |
| soulsyphon | ill try it | 11:42 |

| |QuaD-_ | no java users here :( | 11:43 |
| cavediver | Hi everybody. This network manager i hear about. Where do I find that ? | 11:43 |
| cg0def | yeah I know it is but I was trying to install it on a clean machine that I was going to use for testing not my primary computer | 11:43 |
| mdke | crimsun, why did you ask about the wifi driver? did you have an idea/ | 11:43 |
| mdke | *? | 11:43 |
| mdke | cg0def, ok if you have a good net connection, install warty then upgrade from there | 11:44 |
| crimsun | mdke: I was reading the documentation for it; there's quite a bit searchable via Google | 11:44 |
| cg0def | mdke: oh but there is still no image, i get it | 11:44 |
| mdke | crimsun, k i will look into it thanks | 11:44 |

| dubious9 | I also though if I had the apropriate mp3 lib's rythmbox could play mp3s | 11:46 |
| soulsyphon | so when i sudo it still asks me for a pass | 11:46 |
| mdke | soulsyphon, yes | 11:46 |
| soulsyphon | so... im kinda confused | 11:46 |
| cg0def | but you should update the libs that it uses and also update to the latest version of rythmbox (if you have't) | 11:46 |

| soulsyphon | i didnt know the root pass was the same as my user pass | 11:46 |
| farruinn | it's not | 11:46 |
| soulsyphon | i understand the model now | 11:46 |
| dubious9 | trey3: hmm... maybe it's a problem with my setup somehow | 11:47 |
| trey3 | soulsyphon, its not... sudo requires you to confirm its you... ;) | 11:47 |
| farruinn | soulsyphon: but since your user is in the sudoers file you can use your password | 11:47 |
| dubious9 | trey3: what soundcard do you have by chance? | 11:47 |
| mdke | you know something that could be improved in ubuntu: colours for the [ok] oot boxes in the initscripts on b | 11:47 |

| kbrooks | ok. i have a question. | 11:50 |
| petrolcc | i waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantttttttttttttttttt credit caaaaaaaaaards | 11:50 |
| petrolcc | could any one help me | 11:50 |
| kent | mdke, i think some people are working on a splash-thing for the boot-process. That will hide the init-script in a nice way. | 11:50 |
| luis_ | cavediver: there was a project to port it to ubuntu, but AFAICS, that is stalled- no new packages for a couple months now | 11:50 |
| kbrooks | i want instiki to start on boot automatically | 11:50 |
| mdke | kent, nooooooo | 11:50 |
| crimsun | mdke: honestly, if I have to pay attention to the boot messages, something's wrong | 11:50 |

| crimsun | mdke: but if you think it's nice to colourize the initscripts, please mention it on the forum, mailing list(s), and/or file wishlist bugs | 11:51 |
| mdke | crimsun, heh... | 11:52 |
| kbrooks | i want instiki to start on boot automatically. how do i do this? | 11:52 |
| mdke | crimsun, they might say "give us a patch" | 11:52 |
| crimsun | dubious9: depending on the model of sblive, there should be no problems. | 11:52 |
| kbrooks | with gnome | 11:52 |
| crimsun | dubious9: the ALSA version in hoary supports all known sblives | 11:52 |
| trey3 | kbrooks, instiki is an application? | 11:52 |
