But realplayer command doesn't do much (strace reveals it stops at a WAITPID).

| niptac | crimsun: yes | 01:28 |
| crimsun | niptac: 1:1.1.1-2ubuntu6 is available in Hoary | 01:29 |

| spacey | there is also some warty backport site | 01:29 |

| Deltaoo | jdub, : Thanx | 01:53 |
| TreadingSoftl1 | kirk-code: not an expert; enough trouble getting new fonts to work with installed linux; but i believe once you've got the fonts together in an accessible directory, you can add that directory to places X looks for fonts with the "xset" command | 01:53 |
| farruinn | anusaya: you can browse archive.ubuntu.org or use the apt-cache command | 01:53 |

| neom | I have a wierd ass issue here. | 03:29 |
| goldfish | I did a apt-get install eterm | 03:29 |
| jasonf | Then I'd reccomend going to a qualified assologist, neom | 03:29 |
| neom | My mouse randomy stops responding, and I have to unplug it and plug it back in for it to work again. | 03:29 |
| goldfish | how do i lauch an eterm terminal? | 03:29 |
| raydogg_ | mmm, that is working, how come i wasn't able to do it from the gui ? | 03:29 |
| kirk-code | how can i make gnome-font-properties show my installed fonts ?? | 03:29 |
| neom | goldfish - In a regulare terminal use "eterm" | 03:30 |
| crimsun | raydogg_: because my backport is deliberately epoched lower than the package in the debian-marillat repo to ensure a smooth dist-upgrade from Warty to Hoary. | 03:30 |
| raydogg_ | I see | 03:30 |
| goldfish | neom: command not found? Do i need an apt-get upgrade? | 03:30 |
| blah09 | Eterm | 03:30 |
| blah09 | capital E | 03:30 |
| goldfish | LOL | 03:31 |

| kirk-code | LinuxJones, don't tell me i did all this for nothing | 03:32 |
| jba | hey gang | 03:32 |
| kirk-code | LinuxJones, i have them in /home/fonts | 03:32 |
| neom | muhahaha! I crashed it. | 03:32 |
| jasonf | crimsun: well, it didn't | 03:32 |
| neom | I took a screenshot, and the screenshot application crashed. :o | 03:32 |
| LinuxJones | kirk-code, you might be able to archive your /home dir to your actual hard disk and then restore from backup after you do an actual install. | 03:33 |
| crimsun | jasonf: then vmlinux didn't build successfully? | 03:33 |
| jasonf | crimsun: it did build successfully | 03:33 |
| jasonf | as did all the modules | 03:33 |
| crimsun | jasonf: I presume you're in /usr/src/linux-foo/ ? | 03:34 |
| kirk-code | LinuxJones, but i cant do a install, the whole idea here that i see how it looks with TTF fonts, because right now it's really ugly and i won't continue with it | 03:34 |
| kirk-code | LinuxJones, the fonts make a BIG difference for me | 03:34 |
| jasonf | crimsun: I know what I did, I did a "make-kpkg" and forgot the kernel-image on the end | 03:34 |
| goldfish | blah09: Eterm -O -f white --scrollbar=no --buttonbar off -x | 03:34 |
| goldfish | i tried that | 03:34 |
| goldfish | but it aint transparent :/ | 03:35 |
| kirk-code | LinuxJones, i already added the fonts to the X cache.. and i can see then using xfontsel. all is left is to make gnome-font-properties show them | 03:35 |
| josephus_ | Eterm -x -g 80x25+200+70 --buttonbar=0 --trans --shade=0 --font4 edges -F 10x20 -f white --scrollbar=no | 03:35 |

| Dreamer3 | steve: hibernate or suspend? | 05:52 |
| Dreamer3 | Dwayne_: then try taht | 05:52 |
| regeya | pussfeller, I think they should take a cue from the FreeBSD crowd; have a system that builds, then take something like portupgrade and use that ;-) | 05:52 |
| steve | hiberanate | 05:52 |
| unperson | I'm not trying to necessarily bash on Gentoo. It seems like a cool idea, just not for me. | 05:52 |

| Dreamer3 | unperson: it got me started... did it for over a year | 05:52 |
| Dreamer3 | steve: do you already have the hibernate parition setup (ie, from windows util or whateveR)? | 05:53 |
| Dreamer3 | steve: or you want to do software hibernate? | 05:53 |
| regeya | at the time I started using gentoo, it was the most-untainted source of software, other than slack, imho. | 05:53 |

| unperson | pussfeller, For me apt has always worked like a dream. | 05:53 |

| steve | okay | 05:53 |
| steve | how do I check for the partition setup | 05:54 |
| Dreamer3 | steve: not a bad idea if your laptop supports it in hardware to setup a hibernate partition and use apm or ACPI with the right options | 05:54 |
| Dreamer3 | steve: did you reparition yourself with linux? | 05:54 |

| steve | what I really want is to close the lid and have it shut off till I come back and open it | 05:56 |
| regeya | Dreamer3, one thing I liked was reverse-dep handling; the ability to take a convenience tool like portupgrade and when, say, libpng did a binary-incompatible change, I coudl rebuild everything that depended on libpng. that was sweet. I couldn't justify using freebsd-as-desktop just for that dep handling. | 05:56 |
| Dreamer3 | regeya: debian you get that for free ;-) | 05:56 |
| TheMuso | deang: What video chipset is it? | 05:56 |

| ernesto | now do you understand? | 06:50 |
| Dreamer3 | Xenguy: sure, i run linux :) but our customers use windows :) | 06:50 |
| pussfeller | yup linkmaster | 06:50 |
| LinkMasterSab | Since your average Windows user doesn't know what a command prompt is | 06:50 |
| trey3 | Dreamer3: like I said... Windows is 4 years old... if you have new hardware... Windows won't support it... Linux supports most hardware out of the box... | 06:50 |
| pussfeller | and linux has gotten 100x more user friendly over the last couple years | 06:51 |
| LinkMasterSab | It's more like magic to them; they click the internet on, check email, chat with people... | 06:51 |
| Dreamer3 | trey3: hmmmmmm, perhaps :) | 06:51 |
| peloverde | I just migrated to ubuntu today, and despite the rocky install i love it | 06:51 |
| Dreamer3 | trey3: windows xp supports anything in the last year or two OTB has been my experience | 06:51 |
| regeya | pussfeller, indeed | 06:51 |
| LinkMasterSab | Linux requires quite some understanding with how things work. | 06:51 |
| trey3 | Dreamer3: umm... how can it? its a 4 year old OS... :/ | 06:51 |
| Dreamer3 | but i'm not argueing for windows, was only talking about hardware support for non-mainstream stuff (laptops, integrated, fringe, etc) | 06:52 |

| trey3 | LinkMasterSab: Installing Ubuntu did? | 06:52 |
| Dreamer3 | trey3: yeah it is :) | 06:52 |
| Xenguy | Dreamer3: anyway, this is a Ubuntu support channel, right? Why are you on about wind0ze here anyway? | 06:52 |
| gobeavs | cuz its a competitor | 06:53 |
| Dreamer3 | trey3: windows xp OEM w/SP2... :) | 06:53 |
| LinkMasterSab | trey3: No, but he said installing Windows did. | 06:53 |
| trey3 | Dreamer3: its really not... thats driver discs :/ | 06:53 |

| Dreamer3 | trey3: it's full install media, i just used it the other day :) | 06:53 |
| regeya | LinkMasterSab, are you referring to an off-the-shelf XP on random hardware, or an OEM copy? | 06:53 |
| u404 | is there a way to cancel this process? | 06:53 |
| daniels | guys, offtopic | 06:53 |
| === Dreamer3 doesn't keep up with off the shelf stuff | ||
| Xenguy | gobeavs: it's off-topic when carried to this extreme | 06:53 |

| Dreamer3 | buy OEM and a mouse... | 06:53 |
| Xenguy | daniels: thank you | 06:53 |
| LinkMasterSab | regeya: Take XP or Ubuntu to a machine with "random hardware" and you're much more likely to get XP running | 06:54 |
| gobeavs | this isn't OT | 06:54 |
| Dreamer3 | LinkMasterSab: i agree | 06:54 |
| gobeavs | we are talking about hardware compatibility | 06:54 |
| Xenguy | gobeavs: of course it is | 06:54 |
| Dreamer3 | LinkMasterSab: not that it's ubuntu's fault or anything | 06:54 |

| regeya | LinkMasterSab, I've had hardware where Windows installs were hell and mainstream Linux installs required no intervention. Ubuntu may not have the pretty installer, but I put very little thought into it. | 06:54 |
| === Dreamer3 tries out the ubuntu wallpapers | ||
| trey3 | LinkMasterSab: very wrong... in my experience at least... usually have graphics and sound issues with Windows... no such issues on Linux... | 06:54 |
| regeya | I put less thought into installing Ubuntu on this hardware than I did into the last Mac Panther install I did. | 06:55 |
| Dreamer3 | trey3: all depends on hardware :) | 06:55 |
| pussfeller | speaking of that, should i file a bug with warty not being able to auto install my azt2320 soundcard | 06:55 |
| LinkMasterSab | trey3: Really? I've had much more trouble with Linux installs with hardware. | 06:55 |
| Dreamer3 | i think linux has the mainstream coverered really well, but when you get into obscure things that techies dont use it's not so rosey | 06:55 |
| pussfeller | or just wait til the next release is out and check | 06:55 |
| regeya | LinkMasterSab, it's all very relative. :-) | 06:55 |

| daniels | pussfeller: if you want, you can try the Hoary live CD from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com, and see if the problem still occurs there | 06:56 |
| pussfeller | thats a good idea | 06:56 |
| === LinkMasterSab wants to see that Unununium OS develop. | ||

| crimsun | pussfeller: does manually modprobing snd-azt2320 work? | 06:56 |
| trey3 | Dreamer3: not really... I installed Windows on about 300 machines... same machines with Fedora, Ubuntu and SUSE... no issues with the Linux distro's, could expect at least graphics and sound issues on Windows... | 06:56 |
| pussfeller | yes, thats waht I had to do | 06:56 |
| LinkMasterSab | It's okay though. I'm only 16. I'll live to see much better Linux and slightly better Windows | 06:57 |

| farruinn | pussfeller: isn't there a file you can add that to? | 06:57 |
| Dreamer3 | trey3: with linux sometimes they aren't available, is my only point :) | 06:57 |
| meandyou | portmap start first | 06:57 |
| meandyou | exportfs | 06:57 |
| trey3 | daniels: no offense dude... but I don't see anything more interesting being discussed? | 06:57 |
| regeya | or perhaps the discussion could go to a more generic disscusion, or it could continue privmsg | 06:58 |
| trey3 | Dreamer3: I've yet to see it... | 06:58 |
| farruinn | trey3: this is a support channel. #ubuntuforums is a discussion channel | 06:58 |
| regeya | now, see there, there's something I'd never even heard of. | 06:58 |
| crimsun | farruinn: yes (/etc/modules), but the bug is that it isn't autodetected | 06:58 |
| regeya | #ubuntuforums! | 06:58 |
| Dreamer3 | trey3: ok, on _my_ laptop :) windows had better hardware support ;-) | 06:58 |
| Xenguy | BTW, to the Ubuntu developers, I handed off a Warty CD to a friend at work (he's been interested in trying out Linux), and he installed it without a hitch this past weekend. His comment was "Wow" :-) He is still trying to figure out how to print form the Ubu to a printer on his mostly windows network, but other than that, it 'just worked' -- thanks a lot for your hard work! He's really impressed by it :-) | 06:58 |
| pussfeller | farruinn, you add that to a file in etc, but I was more thinking of the autodetection in the installation | 06:58 |
| farruinn | crimsun: ah, got it | 06:58 |

| bitfoo | all i do before is ps aux | grep esd and then kill that process | 07:28 |
| crimsun | Dreamer3: apt-cache show pbuilder :-) | 07:28 |
| Neo_654 | zenrox; I thought the livecd was knoppix and your installed OS was Ubuntu and the Ubuntu boot was going into panic. | 07:28 |
| trey3 | bitfoo: totem-xine? you'd need to config it seperately.... | 07:29 |
| crimsun | bitfoo: set gstreamer-properties to use alsasink, and disable system sound events | 07:29 |
| unperson | Ubuntu is basically based off of a snapshot of the Debian unstable repository at a certain time, correct? Certain packages are then chosen to make a good, integrated system and more extensively tested. That's the jist, right? | 07:29 |
| zenrox | Neo_654, i assumed my ubuntu install is doing a kernal panic when it frezzes at "starting hotplug" | 07:29 |
| crimsun | bitfoo: then configure all the individual sound apps to use alsa directly | 07:29 |
| zenrox | Neo_654, the warty live cd kernel panics at start up | 07:29 |
| goldfish | Anyone running on a dell 8600 ? | 07:29 |
| Pierre_ | what isdn modems work well with ubuntu as my duxbury external is a pain | 07:29 |
| zenrox | Neo_654, knoppix is what i am running right now | 07:30 |
| Dreamer3 | crimsun: interesting, so it's kinda like debootstrap? | 07:30 |
| crimsun | unperson: so to speak | 07:30 |
| Neo_654 | zenrox: Yes that is what it seems since the video has switched from the onboard to the PCI card. | 07:30 |
| Dreamer3 | crimsun: except intender only for chroots? | 07:30 |
| zenrox | ok Neo_654 now get this hehehe warty is a fresh install | 07:30 |
| crimsun | unperson: a mix of sarge and sid (moreso the latter) with syncs and merges | 07:30 |
| zenrox | lol | 07:30 |

| Neo_654 | zenrox; so you have no data on the install that you can't loose? | 07:31 |
| crimsun | unperson: many ubuntu packages have a full life of their own after merging | 07:31 |
| crimsun | Dreamer3: it essentially automates that ordeal, yes | 07:31 |
| zenrox | Neo_654, just one dir i cant louse thats /home and thats a seprate partion im a good boy | 07:31 |
| unperson | crimsun, But outside of the ubuntu packages, universe is basically a frozen snapshot of sid, right? | 07:32 |
| crimsun | Dreamer3: very effective and highly recommended if you want to build packages | 07:32 |
| Dreamer3 | crimsun: are you saying al ot of pacages are pulled out and then exclusively maintained by ubuntu? | 07:32 |
| Neo_654 | zenrox: Did you install the Ubuntu after the install or the PCI card or before? | 07:32 |
| jason_ | " Detected as eth0 and started working after modules.conf was edited (wlan0 to eth0)" Anyone know what this means I have to do? | 07:32 |
| crimsun | unperson: essentially, yes, at UVF. | 07:32 |
| Dreamer3 | crimsun: hmmm, sid frozen? | 07:32 |
| zenrox | Neo_654, pci card ,format then install of warty | 07:32 |

| brisgeek | crumsun, everytime I tried them in the past I had unfortunate results | 07:36 |
| Dreamer3 | trey3: why would load times be much faster? | 07:37 |

| crimsun | Dreamer3: err...there's a linker tweak iirc, but no major CFLAGS tweaking that I know of | 07:37 |
| unperson | crimsun, Ah so universe = sid main, and multiverse = sid non-free? | 07:38 |
| Dreamer3 | trey3: interesting | 07:38 |
| Dreamer3 | crimsun: so they're all 386 compiled like debian? | 07:38 |
| Dreamer3 | crimsun: i swore i read something on that somewhere | 07:38 |
| sobralense | er.. if I remove the "hotplug" and put everything by hand, I need to load the ext3/reiserfs modules too? ok, dummy question | 07:38 |
| crimsun | sobralense: no, that's in initrd | 07:38 |
| crimsun | Dreamer3: you'll need to dig deeper, because I don't know offhand. They may be optimised for 586+. | 07:39 |
| trey3 | Dreamer3: this is one such difference for example: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=226909 | 07:39 |

| rose | but first of all have to get the darned things booting | 11:25 |
| NoFate^ | j-rock: how do you start apps in openbox then? | 11:25 |
| apokryphos | rose: I think that would be a good idea. You could always just download the DVD iso, if you've got a DVD-burner. | 11:26 |

| dud | is there a way i could connect from my amd64 pc to another i386 pc on my lan, in a way that i can view mplayer on my amd64being played natively on the i386 computer? | 11:26 |

| dud | if that made sense...? | 11:26 |
| Panzerboy | any idea why xmms only plays like, the first 10 secs of a song and then gets to the next in pl ? | 11:26 |

| rose | I sometimes wonder why I keep looking at linux when my winXP does what I need | 11:27 |
| iapx8088 | dud, I guess vlc could help you | 11:28 |
| Phosphoros | Cuz Microsoft is evil? | 11:28 |
| Phosphoros | :) | 11:28 |
| apokryphos | Because Linux is so much better, provides you with much more power. Kernel is more efficient with memory etc.. | 11:28 |
| dud | hmm, perhaps vlc.... | 11:28 |
| rose | :-) yep - that is definitely part of it! | 11:28 |
| j-rock | NoFate^: with a menu that you get by right clicking on the desktop | 11:28 |
| Phosphoros | Sadly I have to run WinXP or I'd probably ditch MS all together. | 11:29 |
| rose | yes - but I need more time to learn apokrphos | 11:29 |
| NoFate^ | j-rock: cool | 11:29 |
| apokryphos | It's infinitely easier to re-install other distros (with a /home partition etc), and install packages. Does Windoze have anything like apt or urpmi? ;) | 11:29 |

| rose | apok - you run dual boot, or just linux - well not JUST linux ... | 11:29 |
| apokryphos | rose: Sure. Linux takes some learning, but it's not that hard. But, personally speaking, it's been by far the best decision I've ever made computer-wise. | 11:29 |
| apokryphos | Phosphoros: :D | 11:30 |
| apokryphos | rose: Sorry? | 11:30 |
| j-rock | the *boxes also run WORLDS faster that either kde or gnome on older systems like a p2 266Mhz i have ubuntu on | 11:30 |
| NoFate^ | j-rock: yeah | 11:30 |
| rose | apok - do you run win and linux on a dual boot | 11:30 |
| apokryphos | rose: Oh, yeah, dual boot. Though, I dont' think I've logged into Windoze for well over a couple of months. | 11:30 |

| Xappe | what's the deal with /boot partition? | 02:48 |
| njan | Xappe, do you mean what's it for? | 02:49 |
| Xappe | yepp | 02:49 |
| njan | Xappe, it's where the kernel image file is stored, along with the configuration for the bootloader (grub) | 02:49 |
| darkkyo | LinuxJones, yes but i have installed ubuntu with only /root and /swap i have no partition to backup | 02:49 |
| Xappe | njan, yes, but why have it on it's own partition? | 02:49 |
| njan | when your machine boots up, the bios loads the bootloader off the MBR of your hard disk, and it looks in the /boot partition (which it's installed and configured to know the location of) for configuration | 02:49 |
| darkkyo | LinuxJones, /root is the / | 02:49 |
| njan | Xappe, because the bootloader is small and stupid and doesn't understand some filing systems and larger partitions | 02:50 |
| LinuxJones | darkkyo, that's ok do you have much stuff in your /home directory ? | 02:50 |
| njan | Xappe, and also traditionally because it didn't understand partitions not at the beginning of the drive | 02:50 |
| Xappe | ah, I see | 02:50 |

| SirFred | I expect a better cd burner app for gnome, anyway. This is too simple. | 06:34 |
| tritium | gaatmx, good deal | 06:34 |
| SirFred | I've got a question about hdparm. | 06:35 |
| tritium | gaatmx, if issues come up, let me know | 06:35 |
| SirFred | I don't know why, but hoary don't activate DMA on my CDRW device. | 06:35 |
| SirFred | So, I tried to make it with hdparm. | 06:35 |
| metaliu | im thinking of installing Ubuntu. does anyone know if it will find my wireless pci card? | 06:35 |
| tritium | SirFred, in the init scripts | 06:35 |
| gaatmx | I have another doubt: How do I add applications to the Gnome menu?? | 06:35 |
| tritium | ? | 06:35 |
| SirFred | On the boot process it says that /dev/hdc is an unknown device. | 06:35 |
| SirFred | But it knows /dev/hda. | 06:36 |
| tritium | SirFred, same thing happens for me. | 06:36 |
| SirFred | After the boot process, I'm able to do it by hand: hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc | 06:36 |
| Neo_654 | metaliu: have you tried to run the liveCd? I would try that first and see if it will work. | 06:36 |

| morchuboo | I tried gdmsetup but that doesnt et you choose its resolution | 08:22 |
| tritium | morchuboo, you need to configure your xserver, not gdm, for the resolution | 08:22 |
| Xappe | GDM uses the first resolution in Xfree86.conf I think | 08:22 |
| morchuboo | but i want to let people set their user resolution to higher if they want - just that the default for GDM be 1024 | 08:23 |

| morchuboo | br|ce: I think this means that the package needs to be rebuilt for python 2.4, it comes up quite often with universe packages | 09:08 |
| tanari | no, cyrillic mp3 tags | 09:08 |

| mjt | jan__: if your /proc/bus/usb/devices entry for your camera lists usb-storage as a driver, it should be available as /dev/sdX1 as msdos filesystem. which X in sdX is really depends, there are ways to make it persistent using udev rules (/etc/udev.d/) but i'm not an expert here | 11:38 |
| topyli | pvh: it's also not very linux-friendly :( | 11:38 |

| unperson | When I try to run mplayer from the command line, it quits before displaying anything and says "Illegal instruction". Any idea what this means? The last line of output before that is "Reading config file /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf", is it just that this file has an error? | 11:51 |
