| cubex | crimsun as in, are debian packages compatible with ubuntu? or do i have to stick with warty's and hoary's? | 12:04 |
| crimsun | cubex: please don't, unless you want massive headaches. | 12:04 |
| cubex | crimsun then what if a package doesn't exist on ubuntu's repos? | 12:04 |
| cubex | crimsun what can i do? | 12:04 |
| ty473 | i can't become the root user in ubuntu | 12:04 |

| ty473 | ah, i'll try it | 12:05 |
| Croccifixio | anybody here VERY familiar with ubuntu servers? i mean using it without the gdm ? | 12:05 |
| crimsun | amin: firewire devices should be made for you; you shouldn't have to create them. | 12:05 |
| cubex | crimsun i don't know yet, i didn't check... but what if? | 12:05 |
| cubex | crimsun i thought ubuntu is supposed to be compatible with debian, right? | 12:05 |
| liquidboy | crimsun, the peoblem is htat the insatll_deveice is not specified... | 12:05 |
| amin | crimsun: gscanbus return me error couldn't get handle: No such file or directory | 12:06 |
| amin | This probably means that you don't have raw1394 support in the kernel or that | 12:06 |

| HrdwrBoB | sudo vi /etc/config.foo | 12:08 |
| cubex | HrdwrBoB well, but gets kinda annoying if you have to sudo everything | 12:08 |

| HrdwrBoB | aside from install/configure | 12:08 |
| cubex | crimsun ok then, i'll remember that :) | 12:08 |
| cubex | crimsun thanks a lot | 12:08 |
| liquidboy | crimsun, u got any ideas? (sorry to bug you:P ) | 12:08 |
| Agrajag | cubex: you can just use sudo -s to get a root shell | 12:08 |
| HrdwrBoB | cubex: not overlyt | 12:08 |
| KlaasVaag | HrdwrBoB: true, but still.. i dont like issueing sudo all the time | 12:09 |
| KlaasVaag | although there isnt much rationale for that.. :) | 12:09 |
| crimsun | cubex: keep in mind that packages will not be targeted for warty and more than likely won't make it into hoary, but hoary+1 (tentatively bendy?) is probable | 12:09 |
| cubex | Agrajag then y not just su; do stuff; exit? | 12:09 |
| AndyR | HrdwrBoB, has anyone found a way to edit the menus yet? | 12:09 |
| Agrajag | cubex: sudo -s does the same as su | 12:09 |
| HrdwrBoB | KlaasVaag: then use sudo -s if you have a whole bunch of things to do | 12:09 |

| mchasard | the last beta if ubuntu is which versions please ? | 12:11 |
| Agrajag | like a security hole that allows one to log into any account with a password | 12:11 |
| HrdwrBoB | cubex: well it means that people are a lot less likely to help you basically | 12:11 |
| crimsun | cubex: "file bug reports and have the packages updated in a timely manner" | 12:11 |
| cubex | Agrajag yeah, but isn't it as easy as modifying /etc/shadow? | 12:12 |

| === hitu_ [~hitu@221.134.1.132] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| cubex | crimsun that, i'll do | 12:12 |
| Agrajag | cubex: you'd need root access for that | 12:12 |
| liquidboy | grub-install && update-grub - doesnt work, it tells me that "grub-install && update-grub" | 12:12 |
| cubex | Agrajag but you're giving a user root access with his own password | 12:12 |
| crimsun | cubex: right, but Ubuntu can't be reponsible for external packages | 12:12 |
| cubex | Agrajag so if i break into a user's account, i can sudo using *his* password | 12:12 |
| liquidboy | *install_device not specified - that's the one | 12:12 |
| mchasard | theres no tool to save configuration for a live cd use ? | 12:12 |
| Agrajag | cubex: ok, but if you don't know the user's account name, how do you break in? | 12:12 |

| cubex | Agrajag seriously, i never thought of that | 12:13 |
| crimsun | liquidboy: (e.g., ,,grub-install /dev/hda'') | 12:13 |
| Agrajag | you could just alias sudo -s to something shorter | 12:13 |
| cubex | Agrajag i know why bsd disabled ssh root login, but i never thought of disabling it locally | 12:14 |

| cubex | ok, this isn't newsflash, but i just wanted to tell you that ubuntu on amd64 is absolutely amazing!!! | 12:15 |
| Agrajag | cubex: also, sudo can be used to set up security policies that allow limited users to run some commands as root, but not others. It's a lot more secure than handing out the root password | 12:15 |
| cubex | just had to get it out | 12:15 |
| Agrajag | of course, on a desktop that's not a big deal | 12:15 |
| cubex | Agrajag but on a server, it is... got it now | 12:15 |

| Agrajag | You can also use third-party tools to read ext2/3 or reiserfs drives in windows | 12:42 |
| mojo__ | cubex: actually, the story is more complicated. My brother n I had same identical drives. His "flaked out" while I was getting a new MOBO. One I was using didn't have SATA so my drive just sat. I loaned him my drive to copy his data that was corrupt so he could reformat and reinstall. We didn't know the PSU killed his drive. After I got my mobo I spent a month thinking I had bad SATA drivers on nforce3, but turns out he gave me back his old "fried" drive | 12:43 |
| mojo__ | by mistake. It was honest mistake, though. He'll have money to get him a replacement soon (I hope) and I've been nice enough to let him use my 250 until then, since he already has a ton of stuff installed on it and would be completely down without it. | 12:43 |

| mojo__ | wallison: yeah, the learning curve. I am in same position as you. Want to learn, not sure where to start. I used to do some (turns head, mumbles Visual Basic) programming, but have not done anything serious for a long time. Thinking of picking up C/C++ and Python | 01:43 |
| hikaru79 | The one with all the codecs | 01:44 |
| hikaru79 | Ooooh | 01:44 |

| Stew2 | llamakc Cause I'm doing what people tell me to do. If you think xorgcfg will work better, I'll do that. | 03:48 |

| Orcrist | like quake on steroids | 05:47 |
| Crane | I've never heard of either | 05:48 |
| tritium | hams, why not just use the version you built to convert your .pcf file. Then, use the ubuntu package to connect. | 05:48 |
| Orcrist | different classes of characters with different attributes | 05:48 |
| Crane | I've played enemy territory but this sounds like a different game | 05:48 |
| Orcrist | yes totally different | 05:48 |
| Orcrist | more like quake but ported to the ET engine | 05:48 |
| tritium | hams, the debian/ubuntu packages provide extra scripts to setup routes, etc. | 05:48 |
| hams | the ubuntu pacakge one also seg faults | 05:48 |
| randabis | Orcrist, you probably don't have the correct development libraries installed | 05:48 |
| Crane | enemy territory also runs well on linux | 05:48 |

| jba | jdub, yesterday, when you said to just add the custom dsdt.aml file to the end of the intrd, did you mean to just cat it on the end? | 05:55 |

| Orcrist | allright | 05:55 |
| timothy | crimsun: what does that do, exactly? | 05:55 |
| hams | is the IPSec secret <value> line the decoded group password? | 05:56 |

| Lathiat | aToaster: they release WoW for linux? | 06:07 |
| timothy | crimsun: there were several lines that were possible to change, and I tried the line that started with kernel and added ' nolapic' as you suggested.. then when it booted it said 'BIOS bug, local APIC #0 not detected!' and froze at 'Starting Ubuntu...' (the line directly below it). Also, I noticed that when I re-booted without that line, a line said 'MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC' and I'm not quite sure that | 06:08 |
| timothy | that meant, but it referenced APIC so I thought it might be important | 06:08 |
| Stereotype | Lathiat: Most Likely CEDGA. | 06:08 |
| Stereotype | Which is like WINE. | 06:08 |
| HrdwrBoB | Lathiat: I use cedega to run WoW | 06:09 |
| HrdwrBoB | .. when the server is up | 06:09 |

| tritium | daniels, I've been seeing lots of talk of evolution on amd64, for one, being buggy | 06:12 |
| tritium | now vpnc | 06:12 |
| brainZzZ | so buggy and weird | 06:12 |
| Lathiat | it doesnt detect vmware graphics -- and leaves the xorg.conf with no Device section | 06:12 |
| tritium | brainZzZ, which? evolution? | 06:14 |
| brainZzZ | You showed up at the wrong phase of channel evolution, friend. | 06:14 |

| Orcrist | well here's the thing thoreau... I'm building it as an emulation box for nes, sega, etc | 06:18 |
| timothy | crimsun: OK, so I added 'noapic' and it froze after this line: *Starting hotplug subsystem... modprobe: error inserting pwc (/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-3-386/kernel/drivers/usb/media/pwc.ko) unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter | 06:18 |
| Orcrist | so I want as little keyboard interface as possible | 06:18 |
| timothy | crimsun: and actually, I noticed that when booting without noapic, it also gave that line but boot past it | 06:18 |
| thoreauputic | Orcrist: heh - that's outside my area of knowledge ;) | 06:19 |
| Orcrist | well the basic idea here is that I want to put it on my tv and only plug a keyboard into it when somethign goes wrong | 06:19 |
| Orcrist | I've got lirc configured and the on-screen keyboard so if I absolutely have to, I can type things in... but I want it to boot straight to x and then on to xfce | 06:20 |
| Orcrist | if I can get it to x, then xfce will come up by default as it's my only WM, so no gdm necessary | 06:20 |
| Lathiat | Is there a username/password I can use to login to the console of the livecd? (it doesnt get X working, and I want to get some lspci information etc) | 06:20 |

| randabis | gnomebaker | 07:58 |
| xoxox1 | k3b for KDE? i guess a gnome burner would be better for Ubutu? | 07:59 |
| xoxox1 | ok i will try gnomebaker, thanks | 07:59 |
| randabis | k3b will work too | 07:59 |

| Slaven | yeah, k3b apps look malplac in gnome ;) | 07:59 |
| thoreauputic | xoxox1: for just coppying files or iso , right click in nautilus file manager | 08:00 |
| thoreauputic | or go to burn:/// | 08:00 |

| Slaven | I liked Xandros CD-burner... the only thing I liked about Xandros, but... | 08:01 |
| thoreauputic | xcdroast is kind of unintuitive, IMHO :/ | 08:01 |
| thoreauputic | although it works well enough | 08:01 |
| trace | hello room | 08:01 |
| aToaster | anyone use gIFT? only filesharing program I found in the rep | 08:01 |
| unperson | thoreauputic, Yes, it probably is related to power management...it must be a I guess. But more than that I cannot say. Oh well. | 08:01 |
| unperson | Night all. | 08:02 |
| xoxox1 | thoreauputic: how to run Nautilus file manager? is that the default file manager? | 08:02 |
| thoreauputic | yes | 08:02 |
| aToaster | woo, drscheme is in the rep | 08:02 |
| xoxox1 | actually i never use file manager in linux. console is good enough | 08:02 |
| xoxox1 | and mc also good | 08:03 |

| thoreauputic | xoxox1: nautilus is OK - if you hate the way it opens new dirs, change to browser mode in "behaviour" | 08:04 |
| Slaven | xoxoxo1: No, it just requires some kde packages. | 08:04 |
| Slaven | not all. | 08:04 |
| xoxox1 | yeah i see that | 08:04 |

| gustavor | how do i automaticly loads modules at startup? | 08:06 |
| trace | Kde is pretty | 08:06 |
| Slaven | gustavor: add them to /etc/modules | 08:06 |
| trace | but gnome is sleek | 08:06 |
| gustavor | Slaven, thanks | 08:06 |
| randabis | k3b is decent, but now that gnomebaker is getting better and better I prefer using it for burning | 08:06 |
| randabis | XFCE > kde and gnome imho :p | 08:07 |
| trace | lol | 08:07 |
| xoxox1 | hm... i run "apt-cache search baker", and it returned no burner at all. so where is "gnomebaker"? | 08:07 |
| kakalto | I've installed the w32codecs and totem-xine, and when I open a movie file in totem, the sound comes out, but there' no visuals | 08:07 |

| trace | I just instleed ubuntu 1 hour ago | 08:08 |
| xoxox1 | so i suppose that for gnome only, gnomebaker is the best burner? | 08:08 |

| eyequeue | anyone got a sunbird deb? | 08:09 |
| Amaranth | xoxox1: Until Coaster gets more work done on it, yeah. | 08:09 |
| kakalto | trace, go onto www.ubuntuguide.org and go to the dvds section | 08:09 |
| kakalto | as far as I can remember, there is a guide for installing dvd support | 08:09 |
| trace | thanks kakalto, just wanted to know | 08:09 |
| kakalto | s' alright :D | 08:09 |
| kakalto | I've installed the w32codecs and totem-xine, and when I open a movie file in totem, the sound comes out, but there' no visuals... does anyone know what the problem is? | 08:10 |

| Amaranth | ALSA is how the Linux kernel does sound, ESounD is a networking sound daemon. | 08:13 |
| pvh | Is it more at the gstreamer level? | 08:13 |
| Amaranth | below gstreamer | 08:13 |
| thoreauputic | enlightenment sound daemon | 08:13 |
| aToaster | is there any way to get nano to do syntax highlighting and stuff? | 08:13 |
| Amaranth | thoreauputic: No, ESounD | 08:14 |
| pvh | Amaranth: EsounD, not Enlightened Sound Daemon? | 08:14 |
| thoreauputic | Amaranth: ah, I stand corrected :) | 08:14 |
| Amaranth | pvh: Yeah. | 08:14 |

| randabis | xoxox1, you need to install cdda2wav first | 08:15 |
| Amaranth | pvh: No, OSS is what the Linux kernel used before ALSA. | 08:15 |
| HrdwrBoB | which is like ESD | 08:15 |
| troll_god | thoreauputic: oh im thinking you ment program alsaconf not alsa.conf =/ | 08:15 |
| HrdwrBoB | only it doesn't suck as much | 08:15 |

| randabis | I don't think it's working quite right yet though | 08:17 |
| HrdwrBoB | pvh: only if you manually get it | 08:17 |
| pvh | Amaranth: So what the heck is ESD doing for me? Gstreamer outputs sound to ALSA which mixes and sends to the device, right? | 08:17 |
| HrdwrBoB | pvh: I will write something up on how to use it tomorrow | 08:18 |
| pvh | HrdwrBoB: Great, where will it be? | 08:18 |

| Dreamer3 | nevyn: yeah, 2, 3 what? | 08:42 |
| Dreamer3 | ah | 08:42 |
| jdub | pvh: because nothing using alsalibs is particularly stable yet | 08:42 |
| pvh | jdub: The problem is that there are so many places I can go wrong. | 08:43 |
| randabis | The NF7-S 2.0 is probably one of the best Nforce 2 boards out there | 08:43 |
| troll_god | thoreauputic: any idea? | 08:43 |
| nevyn | all nforces are bad news.. ;) | 08:43 |
| randabis | I disagree | 08:43 |
| Dreamer3 | randabis: audio and everything work? | 08:43 |
| randabis | yeah | 08:43 |
| randabis | I use an Audigy 1 MP3+, but the onboard works as well | 08:43 |
| aToaster | jdub: umm, sorry to bug ya but.. I can't seem to find the notify option | 08:44 |
| Dreamer3 | randabis: can you still buy the board new? | 08:44 |
| randabis | the onboard networking controller worked out of the box as well | 08:44 |
| randabis | Dreamer3, yes, as far as I know many online retailers still sell it | 08:44 |
| randabis | I bought it from newegg.com last year, but they still stock it I think | 08:45 |

| thoreauputic | troll_god: sorry afk - back soon | 08:45 |
| Dreamer3 | randabis: do you like asus? | 08:45 |
| randabis | If you get one make sure it isn't NF7-S2...it should be NF7-S 2.0 | 08:45 |
| randabis | they are different boards | 08:45 |
| Dreamer3 | randabis: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-127-166&depa=1 ? | 08:46 |
| flamesrock_ | how much does a decent asus board go for? | 08:46 |
| flamesrock_ | just curious | 08:46 |
| Dreamer3 | randabis: it only has 4 stars :) | 08:46 |
| randabis | yeah that's the one | 08:46 |
| randabis | I don't care...it's a solid platform. :) DFI makes a good Nforce2 board also | 08:47 |
| === Dreamer3 thinks if nforce2 is supported then asus's boards should be as well, no? | ||
| randabis | sure | 08:47 |
| randabis | I got the Abit because it's a better overclocker than the Asus...that was what I needed since I've done a 44 mhz overclock on the front side bus | 08:48 |
| Dreamer3 | i don't do overclocking :) | 08:48 |
| Sparhawk_ | the asus a7n8x-e delux would be the equivilant to the abit nf7-s 2.0 | 08:48 |
| Dreamer3 | Sparhawk_: i'm looking now :) | 08:48 |
| randabis | roughly yes it would | 08:48 |
| Sparhawk_ | i have 3 nforce2 ultra 400 boards and 1 nforce 3 250GB board. i love them all | 08:49 |
| FAST | i neeed a new chip, which means i need a new board, which means i need new memory, and new video card...... :( | 08:49 |
| Sparhawk_ | now that kernel 2.6.8.1 + support the network and sound out of the box (for nforce3) | 08:49 |
| Dreamer3 | Sparhawk_: with linux? | 08:49 |
| Sparhawk_ | yup | 08:49 |
| Dreamer3 | Sparhawk_: asus? | 08:49 |
| randabis | I only run ubuntu :) | 08:49 |
| troll_god | does anyone know how to change mixers in the gui, i have mine locked on dummy mixer | 08:49 |
| randabis | brb | 08:50 |
| Sparhawk_ | i have the asus a7n8x-x (the cheap version of the deluxe board), and an abit nf7-s | 08:50 |
| Sparhawk_ | and a gigiabye and a msi | 08:50 |
| Sparhawk_ | asus runs gentoo right now | 08:51 |

| randabis | to be honest, if I were upgrading now, I would go for an AMD64 platform over an Athlon XP platform | 08:56 |
| bitfoo | well of course | 08:57 |
| randabis | you'll have more upgrade options in the future than if you were to use a dying platform like the socket 462 boards | 08:58 |
| === piooo [~piotr@62.233.184.26] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| bitfoo | if i were upgrading now, i would wait for dual core :| | 08:58 |
| randabis | if you get a socket 939 board you would be ready for when the dual cores come... | 08:59 |
| randabis | dual core technology needs to mature a bit before I would consider it imho | 08:59 |
| Sparhawk_ | i have an amd64 i love it | 08:59 |
| Sparhawk_ | thought i mostly run 32bit os's :( | 08:59 |
| bitfoo | is it really that much faster? | 08:59 |
| bitfoo | i mean what runs at 64bit besides farcry :| | 08:59 |
| bitfoo | and maybe suse | 09:00 |
| Sparhawk_ | when running gentoo it is | 09:00 |
| Sparhawk_ | kde compiles in like 4 hours | 09:00 |
| bitfoo | yeah but how often do you compile kde :| | 09:00 |
| randabis | yes, an integrated memory controller will show great speed benefits | 09:00 |
| Sparhawk_ | i like to break my computers, i recompile all the time | 09:00 |
| bitfoo | wow you must get no work done lol :| | 09:01 |
| Dreamer3 | Sparhawk_: is ubuntu 64 bit? | 09:01 |
| Sparhawk_ | pretty much | 09:01 |
| randabis | there is an AMD64 build for ubuntu yes | 09:01 |
| Sparhawk_ | dreamer: yes, most linux distrobutions have x86_64 builds | 09:01 |
| randabis | it will run the 32 bit build as well too | 09:01 |
| Dreamer3 | randabis: so skip the XP and go straight to amd64? then i have to use newer boards and wonder if their chipsets are suported | 09:02 |
| Dreamer3 | right? | 09:02 |
| bitfoo | well true | 09:02 |
| bitfoo | but you are futureproof | 09:02 |
| FAST | im happy with the intel board/chip i have ... never any problems. my brother has an amd 2600+ but it only runs at 1.6ghz? maybe a memory speed issue | 09:02 |
| randabis | Dreamer3, the nforce3 platform for AMD64 is well supported | 09:02 |
| bitfoo | though xps are cheap as anything :| | 09:02 |
| === eyequeue is now known as eyequeue_ | ||
| randabis | so are via chipsets | 09:02 |
| Dreamer3 | bitfoo: i'd rather it work today than tomorrow :) | 09:02 |
| Dreamer3 | what am i gonna pay to go 64? double? | 09:02 |
| jdub | not even close to double | 09:03 |
| Sparhawk_ | nforce3 is very well supported in kernel 2.6.8.1 and up | 09:03 |
| randabis | FAST the 2600+ doesn't mean it runs at 2.6 ghz | 09:03 |
| randabis | that's just a performance rating AMD gives the processor | 09:03 |
| bitfoo | it doesnt run at 1.6 either | 09:03 |
| FAST | randabis, yah but its supposed to run at like 2.2 or 2.4ghz | 09:03 |
| bitfoo | 2.0 if memory serves me | 09:03 |
| AlohaWolf | 2600+ is a 1.9 ghz machine | 09:03 |
| FAST | hmmm | 09:04 |
| AlohaWolf | Detected 1913.467 MHz processor. | 09:04 |
| randabis | the memory should be DDR333 (166mhz) | 09:04 |

| Lathiat | dread65: save the session when you logout | 10:53 |
| Lathiat | dread65: with nothing loaded | 10:53 |
| dread65 | is that the only way | 10:53 |
| randabis-laptop | no | 10:53 |
| Lathiat | you can cahnge your session in the sessions preferences as well, but thats probably the easiest way | 10:53 |
| randabis-laptop | you can tell it not to save your session | 10:53 |
| liquidboy | randabis-laptop, i did that and i got "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb5, | 10:53 |

| JoaoMarcus | hostap is a driver for Prism 2/2.5/3, I'm running 2.6.8 | 11:25 |
| jcoxon77 | JoaoMarcus: does your card work with wlan-ng | 11:26 |
| jcoxon77 | JoaoMarcus: usually prism's do | 11:26 |
| JoaoMarcus | not really, I need hostap to load its firmware | 11:26 |
| jcoxon77 | JoaoMarcus: okay, cause all that is need usually is for wlan-ng software to be installed | 11:27 |
| ironwolf | JoaoMarkcus: I don't even have wlan-ng installed. Hmmm.... | 11:28 |
| jcoxon77 | JoaoMarcus: perhaps you should suggest that hostap is included? i'm not sure how tho | 11:28 |
| ironwolf | JoaoMarcus: If it were me? I'd try hoary, but I'm already running hoary.... | 11:28 |

| Hwolf | odyssey: I tried setting up evolution, since then tb is screwed up | 12:40 |
| mjr | chroot instructions are available at least on https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html, dunno if there's a ready-made ubuntu equivalent but things are pretty much the same | 12:40 |

| Gusto_ | strangly this worked on slackware and fedora | 02:18 |

| daniels | Slaven: i suspect what you mean to say is that the new version of the nvidia drivers (6629) is broken on your hardware, as opposed to 6111, which works fine. this is an nvidia bug which only they can fix because they have chosen to release binary-only drivers, and has absolutely nothing to do with xorg. if you want to stick with xfree86, fine, but it's a bad idea. | 04:48 |
| Slaven | nope. | 04:48 |

| bretzel | ruben: wait I read my sources.list ... | 04:53 |
| gamecat | Does anyone here know where I can learn about the way GNOME handles reading the indexes of audio CDs? | 04:53 |
| mjg59 | The 12" is unlikely to support suspend/resume in the massively near future | 04:53 |
| gamecat | I have 2 cd drives, and only one of them shows audio tracks available. | 04:53 |
| mjg59 | Though that could probably be helped by BIOS disassembly on an x86 nvidia machine | 04:53 |
| mjg59 | Hmm | 04:53 |
| tritium | mjg59, because of nvidia issues? | 04:53 |
| gamecat | I've tried to follow the path of symlinks that lets XMMS, etc read audio data from the /cdrom directory, but I can't duplicate it for cdrom1 for some reason. | 04:53 |
| mjg59 | tritium: Yeah. We know how to make the ATI stuff work again on resume, but not the nvidia stuff | 04:53 |

| bretzel | uh ... Ruben ? I have no "restricted" repos ... Is that related to the failures ? | 04:54 |
| ubuntu | bretzel: maybe you forgot about "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" ;) | 04:54 |
| rubenv | yes | 04:54 |
| mjg59 | tritium: Using Hoary? | 04:54 |
| mjg59 | Or Warty? | 04:55 |
| tritium | mjg59, better to use agpgart rather than NvAGP with nvidia? Hoary | 04:55 |
| mjg59 | Oh, yes, much better to use agpgart | 04:55 |
| bretzel | ubuntu: no-no, I know about sudo ,... otherwize apt-get cannot acces the db ... | 04:55 |
| mjg59 | But the Hoary sleep scripts ought to stand a chance of working | 04:55 |
| tritium | Okay, I blacklisted intel_agp to use nvidia's | 04:55 |
| tritium | but I will change that back | 04:55 |
| gamecat | So does anyone know about how we deal with audio CDs? | 04:56 |
| tritium | it sleeps okay, but doesn't resume on first press of power button | 04:56 |
| mjg59 | You still stand a slightly better chance of success with the nv driver, though that won't give you 3D acceleration | 04:56 |
| tritium | it hits the snooze bar :) | 04:56 |
| mjg59 | Oh, yes, does it work properly on the second press? | 04:56 |
| tritium | I don't really need 3D accel. Maybe I'll go back to nv. | 04:56 |

| encryptio | ubuntu was the only distro that booted my machine. | 07:36 |
| ChuckWagon23 | is gnucash rolled into ubuntu, or will i have to install it the old-fashioned way? | 07:36 |
| martok | Wow. | 07:36 |
| encryptio | ChuckWagon23: if it doesn't come with it, you can probably enable universe and apt-get it. | 07:37 |
| spiral | pvh: are you sure this is the good partition ? | 07:37 |
| spiral | pvh: where is your /bin then ? | 07:37 |
| pvh | spiral: yes, but the install failed | 07:37 |
| ChuckWagon23 | ok | 07:37 |
| ChuckWagon23 | what are the default apt repositories? | 07:37 |
| spiral | pvh: oh... and why don't you try launching it again, instead of grub-installing as a "barbarian" ? | 07:38 |
| ChuckWagon23 | (sorry for asking too many questions) | 07:38 |
| pvh | spiral: The laptop has no drives in it, so I used GRLDR for NT to get the process started. | 07:38 |
| encryptio | ChuckWagon23: main and security. enable universe and multiverse for a _lot_ more stuff. | 07:38 |
| === vtg [vertigo@route6.alumina.nl] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| ubuntu|user | encryptio, main and restricted ;) | 07:39 |
| encryptio | ChuckWagon23: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the universe and multiverse line. | 07:39 |
| tritium | I'm guessing I need a pci hotplug module for using the devices in my docking station, but pciehp and shpchp don't load. | 07:39 |
| pvh | spiral: The short version of the story is that the laptop came with windows | 07:39 |
| Slaven | ChuckWagon23: /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:39 |
| ChuckWagon23 | ok, i've don't that before | 07:40 |
| Slaven | or through Synaptic Package Manager | 07:40 |
| encryptio | ChuckWagon23: it's debian based. | 07:40 |
| ChuckWagon23 | so the lines are already in there | 07:40 |
| Slaven | for a graphical interface. | 07:40 |
| spiral | pvh: and without a cd reader ? is it an antique laptop ? | 07:40 |
| pvh | spiral: And I essentially booted grub from the standard XP loader which then began the netboot install images. | 07:40 |
| ChuckWagon23 | which file system would you recommend? | 07:40 |
| pvh | spiral: no, it's a tiny sony vaio | 07:40 |
| Slaven | Chucky: Yeah. | 07:40 |
| sdr__ | my DNS suffix search list doesn't work, any known issues with that? | 07:40 |
| pvh | spiral: 'ultra-light' serves me well for toting around university | 07:40 |
| encryptio | ChuckWagon23: ext3 or reiserfs. your choice. | 07:40 |
| spiral | pvh: and you don't have an "external" CD drive ? | 07:40 |
| pvh | spiral: weighs less than a textbook, takes up less space | 07:40 |
| ChuckWagon23 | ok | 07:41 |
| ubuntu|user | ChuckWagon23, or XFS | 07:41 |
| Slaven | I've always used ext3. | 07:41 |
| pvh | spiral: no, sony external drives are proprietary, hard to get a hodl of, and expensive | 07:41 |
| ChuckWagon23 | how about mounting ntfs? work ok? | 07:41 |
| pvh | spiral: and it won't boot from anything else | 07:41 |
| resiak | ChuckWagon23: Read, no write. | 07:41 |
| encryptio | ChuckWagon23: read only, yes. | 07:41 |
| spiral | pvh: yeah, I know... And for example, what is the normal procedure to reinstall windows if there's a problem ? | 07:41 |
| pvh | spiral: I definitely explored that option first. | 07:41 |
| pvh | spiral: Stick the drive in your PC. | 07:41 |
| pvh | spiral: or shell out $150 for the external cd | 07:41 |
| spiral | pvh: not even boot on usb ? | 07:41 |
| Slaven | If I'm not mistaken ext3 is the formast with the best support of being mounted from Windows. | 07:41 |
| ChuckWagon23 | so i'd be able to grab files from a winblows partition with no prob | 07:41 |
| pvh | spiral: not even netboot | 07:41 |
| resiak | Slaven: Well, ext2. | 07:41 |
| ChuckWagon23 | that's good | 07:41 |
| pvh | spiral: you begin to understand my frustrations. :) | 07:42 |

| === _penny [~penny@c-24-22-21-211.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| pvh | spiral: 1) enough on the disk to boot the partition | 07:45 |
| Slaven | Chuck: My favorite distro is still Gentoo. But it's too much work sometimes, so I settled for Ubuntu. | 07:45 |
| ChuckWagon23 | the debian world is a little new to me - slack and redhat-based are my old stand bys | 07:45 |
| njan | hmm.. after apt-get dist-updating, mime associations have broken and so have icons/preview icons for files in nautilus | 07:45 |
| pvh | spiral: 2) grub | 07:45 |
| ChuckWagon23 | gentoo is great, but it's a pain to get everything set up just right | 07:45 |
| encryptio | i'd probably be hooked on gentoo if it weren't for the endless kernel panics | 07:45 |
| njan | I've had this happen once before in hoary, but I'm not jsure what I did to fix it and .bash_history doesn't go quite that far back.. anyone any suggestions? | 07:45 |
| Slaven | Chuck: But you get it just how you like it. | 07:46 |
| njan | ChuckWagon23, I moved to ubuntu from gentoo.. really nice transition | 07:46 |
| ChuckWagon23 | eventually | 07:46 |

| ubuntu|user | ChuckWagon23, you have choice | 07:48 |
| ChuckWagon23 | schweet.:) | 07:48 |
| spiral | pvh: you could maybe launch the win cd & restore the original win's mbr | 07:48 |

| __Penny | one way to "set up this input permanently" is to create a file .gnomerc and add some lines... I thought I did that a few times, finished this section, but openoffice still does not allow me to choose which input method I want to use | 09:00 |

| __Penny | shock, do you have a minute? | 09:06 |
| __Penny | ok that'd be awesome | 09:06 |
| pdaoust | quick question; this is a general Linux question (not Ubuntu -- unless it turns out that it *is* caused by Ubuntu weirdness) | 09:06 |
| hendsp | does anyone else consider it a bug that you cant drop files onto the Documents panel icon? or has it been reported? | 09:06 |
| Martok | nanophase: I think you're just mad that I'm going into the future while you stay in the past. | 09:06 |
| nanophase | or a monitor? | 09:06 |
| cutterjohn | (retinal displays: er appear in non-military applications that is...) | 09:06 |
| nanophase | ok so it doesnt make much sense :) | 09:06 |
| pdaoust | any idea why the hell my load average would be skyrocketing when I log into my user account? | 09:06 |
| __Penny | need the link again? | 09:06 |
| nanophase | Martok: no commend on that one, good luck with 3ddesktop! | 09:06 |
| Martok | nanophase: I'm moving forward while you're staying in the same place. | 09:06 |
| pdaoust | hendsp: there's a Documents icon on the panel? ^_^ | 09:07 |
| pdaoust | never noticed it. | 09:07 |
| Martok | lol | 09:07 |
| shock | got it | 09:07 |
| __Penny | ok | 09:07 |
| hendsp | yeah, it's in the applet list when you right click panel->add to panel | 09:07 |
| pdaoust | hendsp: ah, I getcha | 09:07 |
| pdaoust | never really experimented with folder panel icons | 09:07 |

| Cindux | anyway know how much ram Ubuntu uses ? | 09:08 |

| Martok | Yeah | 09:11 |
| pdaoust | Cindux: if you use the memory monitor applet, it can look scary; for instance, my computer sez I'm using 100% of the RAM, but that's because part of it is just regular ol' disc cache, which doesn't count. | 09:11 |
| emanuelez | well... this modprobing stuff freezed my comp LOL | 09:11 |
| pdaoust | Madeye: do you have an IBM DeskStar? | 09:11 |

| pvh | Martok: croquet | 09:13 |
| Martok | Thanks, I'll go google it now. | 09:13 |
| pvh | Martok: based on smalltalk | 09:13 |

| cutterjohn2 | defile: but that only searches the standard repos... | 09:13 |
| Madeye | pdaoust, I'm not sure, hmm any tool to defrag disk or to scandisk ? if it didnt work I will replace the HDD, no worries no important data at all. | 09:14 |
| pdaoust | iain_installing: this happens during install, or after install? | 09:14 |
| iain_installing | during | 09:14 |
| cutterjohn2 | defile: i.e. it is more or less equal to yum list, rpm -q blah rather than rpmfind | 09:14 |
| pdaoust | Madeye: hmmmmmmmmm.... no need for defragging; Linux filesystems don't fragment | 09:14 |
| Cindux | :D | 09:14 |

| pdaoust | iain_installing: what kind of CD-ROM drive is it? | 09:15 |
| RogueDopple | lg | 09:15 |
| cutterjohn2 | defile: but was hoping otherwise... | 09:15 |
| Martok | This croquet thing looks like it could be VR. | 09:15 |
| Madeye | pdaoust, journaled | 09:16 |
| defile | cutterjohn, if you have the right repositories setup though... | 09:16 |
| Martok | I think it's a whole OS though. | 09:16 |

| Cindux | er dont mind the newb | 09:16 |
| Cindux | but a file system is the way information is stored on a drive ? | 09:17 |
| cutterjohn2 | Martok: running under squeak will be slowish, and IIRC it is supposed to be an enitre OS, not sure if it was finished (I had forgotten about that one...) | 09:17 |
| pdaoust | Cindux: yessir | 09:17 |
| iain_installing | is there a way of booting without dma enabled? | 09:17 |
| Cindux | er so ic | 09:17 |
| pdaoust | iain_installing: weird... I believe so; one sec | 09:17 |
| Cindux | then wouldn't it be obviosu to find the "best" file system | 09:17 |
| Martok | cutterjohn2: What's squeak? And I thought IIRC was an IRC client. | 09:18 |
| pdaoust | Cindux: it is a good idea, but don't get too picky; most filesystems are pretty good for all-around tasks. | 09:18 |
| cutterjohn2 | Martok: a smalltalk environment... | 09:18 |
| pdaoust | Cindux: ext2 and ext3 are great for low-latency tasks like audio editing | 09:18 |
| cutterjohn2 | Martok: VM plus base distribution... | 09:18 |
| Cindux | ic ic | 09:18 |
| pdaoust | Cindux: reiser is great for... I don't know what it's great for, but I've always used it, and it's never caused me any grief ^_^ | 09:18 |
| cutterjohn2 | Martok: sort of like OS + desktop + IDE + rest of dev environment + misc apps all in smalltalk | 09:18 |
| defile | smsmasters, check in universe | 09:19 |
| Martok | And smalltalk is...? An operating system? | 09:19 |
| pdaoust | Cindux: XFS is a commercially developed open-source filesystem, apparently very fast and stable (didn't used to be stable; it used to destroy your data regularly) | 09:19 |
| cutterjohn2 | Martok: OO programming language, the syntax is similar to objective-C (which was based on smalltalk syntax) | 09:19 |
| pdaoust | iain_installing: here we go | 09:19 |
| cutterjohn2 | Martok: changes/programming are realtime at least in squeak... native compiles do exist as well... | 09:19 |
| pdaoust | at the CD's boot prompt, type whatever you would type, plus nodma | 09:20 |
| defile | smsmasters, it's in World Wide Web (universe) for Hoary, it might also be there for Warty | 09:20 |
| pdaoust | so if you normally pressed enter or typed 'linux', you would type 'linux nodma' | 09:20 |
| nanophase | god damn it whatever I set for laptop-mode it shuts down my HD when on battery | 09:20 |
| Martok | Whoa, whoa... I'm not a programmer. I have no idea what you're talking about. | 09:20 |

| cutterjohn | Martok: couldn't remember, and never tried it as it sounded as though it might be too easy to hose the wrong process that way... }:) | 09:26 |
| plut | do i need to install a driver for the nforce 2 lan chipset in ubuntu? | 09:26 |
| Martok | Yeah | 09:26 |
| Martok | It's kinda cool because the processes try to kill you too. | 09:27 |
| Tomcat_ | That happened to me only once. | 09:27 |
| Martok | What happened to you? | 09:27 |
| Tomcat_ | And it wasn't really the processes, it was more the kernel. | 09:27 |
| Tomcat_ | That processes attacked root :) | 09:27 |
| cutterjohn | }:) | 09:27 |
| Martok | I don't like where this joke is going... | 09:27 |

| HillTop | The wiki says (about dual boot with Windows) "Install Ubuntu the 'easy way' but DO NOT allow it to override MBR." Where in the process does one not override MBR? | 11:34 |

| WizzoMaFizzo | I've tried installing it by downloading it from the websie aswell as with apt-get. | 11:37 |
| WizzoMaFizzo | But both times it never gives me a password or username to use. | 11:37 |
| WizzoMaFizzo | And the ubuntu passwords don't work. | 11:37 |
| WizzoMaFizzo | Is there a default password I need to use? | 11:38 |
| WizzoMaFizzo | Or some way I can set it? | 11:38 |

| WizzoMaFizzo | Ok. | 11:40 |

| marcusdaniel | How do I burn the ppc ISO image? | 11:54 |
| jpwain | Do you have OS X? | 11:54 |
| marcusdaniel | yes | 11:54 |
| marcusdaniel | 10.3.7 | 11:54 |
| jpwain | Run Disk Utility and choose Open from the Images menu | 11:54 |
| marcusdaniel | i get some system error when i try to burn.. i wasted 2 CDs burning with toast | 11:54 |
| jpwain | Load the .ISO and hit burn | 11:54 |
| === piratePenguin [~piratepen@dialup031.ts001.bmt.esat.net] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| jpwain | I'd try Disk Util over toast | 11:55 |
| jpwain | (or, alternately, Fireburner or maybe Missing Media Burner) | 11:55 |
| marcusdaniel | it quits/crashes | 11:55 |
| jpwain | Disk Util does? | 11:55 |
| marcusdaniel | yes | 11:55 |
| jpwain | Hmm | 11:55 |
| Stew2 | marcusdaniel Toast is a roxio product, I used nero on the PC if I have windows. | 11:55 |
| jpwain | Perhaps the .ISO is corrupt | 11:55 |
| marcusdaniel | instantly | 11:55 |
| Stew2 | marcusdaniel there's probably other programs out there. Can you mount the ISO with Disk Util? | 11:56 |
| marcusdaniel | yes i suspected a corrupt iso file because i tried to do a md5 checksum and it said theres nothing to checksum | 11:56 |
| jpwain | Yeah, try mounting it and browsing the filesystem | 11:56 |
| marcusdaniel | and then crashed also | 11:56 |
| jpwain | Sounds corrupt | 11:56 |
| marcusdaniel | well i can mount it and see whats on it | 11:56 |

| marcusdaniel | ok you recommend to download it again? | 11:56 |
| jpwain | Yes | 11:56 |
| === lance_ [~lance@p54A0C672.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jpwain | And MD5 it to be sure if you want | 11:56 |
| marcusdaniel | ok thanks alot. I very much appreciate everyones help | 11:56 |
| marcusdaniel | ok | 11:56 |
| marcusdaniel | :D | 11:56 |
| marcusdaniel | thanks!!!! | 11:56 |
| Stew2 | marcusdaniel If you can't mount it and browse around,then yeah, redownload it. | 11:57 |
| marcusdaniel | ok | 11:57 |
| marcusdaniel | thanks! | 11:57 |
| jpwain | I have a question of my own actually, maybe someone who knows Ubuntu on x86 can help | 11:57 |
| jpwain | I've got open-ssh installed but I can't connect to the machine from outside itself | 11:57 |
| jpwain | And I don't know if there's a firewall running that's blocking port 22 or what | 11:58 |
| Stew2 | jpwain is there some config for open-ssh that defines where you can connect from? | 11:58 |
| lance_ | ps -ef | grep sshd | 11:58 |
| lance_ | netstat -an | grep 22 | 11:58 |
| === vtg [vertigo@route6.alumina.nl] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Stew2 | jpwain like an open-ssh.conf inside of /etc or something. | 11:58 |
| jpwain | Yeah, I'll check that... but Ubuntu has no firewall by default? | 11:58 |
| Stew2 | jpwain Lance is telling you to check for the service, I hear you saying the service is running, so that's not the problem. | 11:58 |

| bob2 | jpwain: of course | 11:59 |
| Stew2 | jpwain You can connect from the local machine, eh? | 11:59 |
| jpwain | I believe it is running -- ps aux | grep ssh shows the sshd | 11:59 |
| marcin_ant | hi, I have strange error in evolution | 11:59 |
| bob2 | there's no reason to have a firewall by default | 11:59 |
| jpwain | and yes I can ssh from the local machine... to localhost | 11:59 |
| jpwain | But not from any external location on the LAN | 11:59 |
| Stew2 | jpwain: Yeah, so it's a firewall you need to open the port on, which I don't think there is a firewall by default. | 11:59 |
| marcin_ant | when I input some task or appointment - then I got dialog with this message | 11:59 |
