| unperson | Ug, for maybe a year I had the problem that any time I'd try to playback video (e.g. and mpeg) it had a big blue bar over part of it. Finally, while I was running debian sarge, this got fixed (not sure how, but I think just an update to X). I installed Ubuntu a few months ago and really love it, except it looks like this video problem is back. Ug. | 12:11 |

| njan | bluefoxicy, but that's three hops away; ut is binary, nvidia is binary; you'd have a *lot* of fixing to do for that to work | 12:32 |
| bluefoxicy | njan: http://woct-blog.blogspot.com/2005/02/non-root-viruses-for-linux.html <-- For a virus, not for root to spread a virus >:) | 12:32 |
| njan | bluefoxicy, unsurprising - there are some fairly horrible bugs in armegatron, and that's opne source :) | 12:32 |
| njan | s/bad spelling/good spelling/ | 12:32 |
| bluefoxicy | njan: yeah but does UT itself set off PaX? | 12:32 |
| bluefoxicy | nv glx sets off pax | 12:33 |
| njan | bluefoxicy, not sure, haven't tried. I wouldn't imagine it would work with pax. you'd have to chpax the binary | 12:33 |
| bluefoxicy | yeah | 12:33 |
| njan | which defeats the purpose of PaX existing ;) | 12:33 |
| bluefoxicy | uh huh | 12:33 |
| bluefoxicy | njan: unless glx was fixed. I doubt UT itself would actually have a reason to do RCE | 12:33 |
| bluefoxicy | nested functions don't count; PaX can emulate trampolines | 12:34 |
| njan | yeah, you may be right | 12:35 |
| njan | It's still a long way off, really, either way :( | 12:35 |

| bluefoxicy | IMHO it's an egg and bigger egg problem | 12:35 |
| njan | possibly.. | 12:35 |
| njan | little steps :) | 12:35 |
| bluefoxicy | err | 12:35 |
| bluefoxicy | chicken and bigger chicken rather. | 12:35 |
| njan | what I'd like to see is hardened ubuntu support approaching that of gentoo | 12:35 |
| bluefoxicy | there's an easy way to deploy pax without breaking anything, and still kick nvidia and ati around for it. | 12:35 |
| njan | unfortunately, I was forced to drop gentoo in favour of ubuntu because maintaining gentoo on a laptop for production use was just too time-consuming.. | 12:36 |
| njan | but with gentoo I dropped hardened gentoo as well, and I wasn't terribly happy about that :( | 12:36 |
| bluefoxicy | while ProPolice and PIE become easy enough to deploy without breaking third party programs at all, grsecurity and pax can break things right? | 12:36 |
| bluefoxicy | so we have an easy solution. | 12:36 |
| njan | What's that? | 12:36 |
| bluefoxicy | Supply an official paxified kernel, and an official non-pax kernel, document the difference in terms of security | 12:36 |
| bluefoxicy | and support both. | 12:36 |
| njan | bluefoxicy, for ubuntu? | 12:36 |
| bluefoxicy | (not that hard, supporting the non-pax is just a subset of supporting the pax) | 12:36 |
| bluefoxicy | njan: for any/all distros | 12:37 |
| bluefoxicy | this is theoretical | 12:37 |
| njan | bluefoxicy, so you're basically talking about maintaining a grsec/pax'd kernel in parallel to the kernel.org sources? | 12:37 |
| bluefoxicy | though I'm hoping ubuntu will go that direction | 12:37 |

| njan | bluefoxicy, true.. although if you're building sources, you'd have a lot of packaging headaches | 12:38 |

| bluefoxicy | _slice_: dlloader solves the X problem. | 12:39 |
| bluefoxicy | njan: How do you think that kind of FAQ question would go? :) | 12:39 |
| CreeVal | Citrix has a package it depends on to work in Ubuntu, anyone know what package that is? | 12:39 |

| CreeVal | (Citrix ICA client that is) | 12:39 |
| _slice_ | now you tell me hehe | 12:39 |
| njan | ..since all distributions take the kernel sources and compile them themselves anyway, you'd basically just be giving them a prepatched kernel; and most distributions patch kernels themselves anyway | 12:39 |
| njan | I think the direction to go in would be forming an entity which worked with specific distributions to help them maintain securer kernels, because I just don't think you'd have an impact in any other way. | 12:40 |
| bluefoxicy | njan: heh | 12:40 |
| njan | you'd *never* get *every* distribution to ship a grsec/pax kernel by default, so the FAQ question is kinda redundant, unfortunately.. | 12:40 |

| chillywilly | hmmm, need to fix refresh rate, LCD is a bit blurry | 12:51 |
| djtansey | njan: that lets me disable the sound server, but now no gnome apps can get access to /dev/dsp -- for instance rhythmbox says could not open resource | 12:51 |
| _slice_ | i thought lesbian just came from lesbos | 12:51 |
| _slice_ | as in a person from lesbos | 12:52 |
| njan | djtansey, that's because they're trying to output sound via esd; you'll have to tell them to use alsa | 12:52 |
| _slice_ | originally | 12:52 |
| njan | djtansey, the disadvantage of turning esd off is that only 1 app can access /dev/dsp, but the advantage is that apps with no esd support can actually make noises. | 12:52 |

| bluefoxicy | njan: you know, gr only has 2 misses? | 12:52 |
| njan | djtansey, don't know, I have esd disabled :) | 12:53 |
| bluefoxicy | one in the makefile (drop it), one in sysctl.h (an enum) | 12:53 |
| njan | bluefoxicy, misses? | 12:53 |
| bluefoxicy | njan: I tried to patch it on top of ubuntu's kernel sources :) | 12:53 |
| jay | hey I've been bustin my balls for days now.... Does anyone know how to set up masqerading on ubuntu (I'm kind of new to this thing....) | 12:53 |
| njan | bluefoxicy, oh, gotcha :) | 12:53 |
| njan | jay, by masquerading you mean you want to NAT traffic for machines on a network? | 12:53 |
| jay | njan: Internet connection sharing, yes I think | 12:54 |
| === vtg [vertigo@route6.alumina.nl] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| njan | jay, gotcha. I recommend you use the appropriately-named jay's firewall :) | 12:54 |
| djtansey | njan: yes -- it is -as <number of seconds until it releases it> | 12:54 |
| matt__ | jay, get firestarter from universe | 12:54 |
| === mlk [~mlk@3E6B6FE1.rev.stofanet.dk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| njan | jay, it's a set of scripts with an ncurses (console menus) interface which sets that up for you | 12:54 |
| bluefoxicy | jay: not that hard. iptables -t NAT -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE | 12:54 |
| djtansey | njan: now i just have to figure out how to get gnome to start it with that option | 12:54 |
| robertj | What paramater do I need to use to do a disk cehck on my Array cd? | 12:54 |
| njan | jay, matt__'s recommendation is another script which'll do it. | 12:54 |
| njan | djtansey, not sure what to tell you, sorry :) | 12:55 |
| bluefoxicy | . . . or you could use a set of scripts with a console interface to do it, like njan said | 12:55 |
| jay | yes I'm using GNOME right now, didn't get around to KDE yet. isn't firestarter for KDE? | 12:55 |
| matt__ | yeah, firestarter is a nice gtk frontend to iptables | 12:55 |
| === njan is lazy :) | ||
| njan | imo jay's firewall is the easiest firewalling system to use if you've never used iptables before. | 12:55 |
| njan | you don't really need to know very much about tcp/ip to use it | 12:55 |
| bluefoxicy | jay: with mine you'd have to use your internet-side interface for eth0, and you'd replace 192.168.0.0/24 with your network/netmask | 12:55 |
| bluefoxicy | njan: i'm entirely too lazy :) | 12:56 |
| jay | bluefoxicy: I am recieving internet on wlan0 and want to share it onto eth0. wlan0's network is 192.168 and eth0's network is 10.0 | 12:56 |
| njan | bluefoxicy, :) | 12:56 |
| jay | believe it or not, I got ndiswrapper working. that was a whole sepparate issue! | 12:57 |
| bluefoxicy | iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -s 10.0.0.0/8 -j MASQUERADE | 12:57 |
| bluefoxicy | . . . is it /8 or /16? | 12:57 |
| chillywilly | hmm, so why don't you guys have the typical defualt gnome icons on the desktop? did they get rid of that for gnome 2.10? | 12:57 |
| Xenguy | jay: shorewall firewall is an option | 12:57 |
| bluefoxicy | /8 is 255.0.0.0, /16 is 255.255.0.0 | 12:57 |

| shushi2005 | How can I run multiple commands at startup automatically? | 02:16 |
| Orcrist | Iddi... from my experience the packaged mplayer is borked anyway... it only lets you run it command line... if that's what you want then have at it | 02:16 |
| Orcrist | but if you want full functionality, just compile from source per the directions on the mplayer site | 02:16 |
| Xappe | yepp, and if you install esd-devs before compiling mplayer, it compiles with esd support | 02:17 |
| Orcrist | which is nice, esp for gnome | 02:17 |
| chillywilly | bah | 02:17 |
| robertj | What's wrong with GnomeVFS under Array 4? | 02:18 |
| shushi2005 | Is a file in Ubuntu similar to rc.local? | 02:18 |
| Orcrist | but by all means make SURE you install the codec library per those directions BEFORE you compile | 02:18 |
| Iddi | Orcrist: Yeah, okay... But my brother has installed it, and I can't even do that. Sounds better than no mplayer at all, so I'd like to be able to install it :/ | 02:18 |
| === chillywilly install OOo 2.0 | ||
| chillywilly | installs | 02:18 |
| Orcrist | Iddi, can't even do what? | 02:19 |
| chillywilly | what about Marillat's mplayer debs? surely you could install those | 02:19 |
| Orcrist | well a quick kludge would be to change your repositories back to warty, update your cache, then see if it installs from warty repositories | 02:19 |

| muhahahah | i made it only 5gb and i want it to be bigger | 02:20 |
| niptac | can anyone tell me what do I replace in this command? "cd browse_to_your_download_folder" if my package resides in home folder | 02:20 |
| chillywilly | muhahahah: might be able to do it with parted | 02:20 |
| tw001 | shushi2005 - I think you make the script you want and then type chkconfig --add scriptname to add it to startup | 02:20 |

| cowbud | shushi2005: as in what commands do you weant to run | 02:21 |
| Orcrist | why do you have hoary repositories cached up then? | 02:21 |
| tw001 | simple bash script - same principle if you added something to rc.local as you mentioned | 02:22 |
| Xappe | Iddi, you should not mix hoary and warty repos | 02:22 |
| chillywilly | lalala | 02:22 |
| Iddi | because i cached them to see if mplayer needed any deps there | 02:22 |

| Ex-Cyber | shushi2005: a bash script is basically a list of commands to be executed by bash (it can get more complex than that, but that's the basic idea)... essentially you just have to type the commands into a text file, one on each line, then if you want to be able to run it "directly" you need to give yourself execute permission for it and add a line at the top like this: #!/bin/bash | 02:41 |

| Xappe | Anubis, no, I get text in the input field | 02:51 |
| HaloGray | does it require to be burned to an iso? | 02:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | change 'warty' to 'hoary' | 02:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | in /etc/sources.list | 02:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | or in synaptic | 02:51 |
| blah09 | totem, does it play anything at all? | 02:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | then use synaptic to do a system update | 02:51 |
| Anubis | Let me restart Xchat | 02:51 |
| HaloGray | cool | 02:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | or run apt-get dist-upgrade | 02:51 |

| rattboi24 | ? | 03:24 |
| alumik | so is not possible to ship it | 03:24 |
| Orcrist | rattboi... a good starting place would be recompiling your kernel and cutting out the things that aren't necessary | 03:24 |
| chillywilly | btu mozilla lets me have it if I download and install it manually | 03:24 |
| Orcrist | It turned my 350Mhz P2 box from sluggish to almost snappy | 03:24 |
| rattboi24 | serious? | 03:25 |
| rattboi24 | how much ram do you have? | 03:25 |
| Orcrist | 128M | 03:25 |
| Orcrist | on that box | 03:25 |
| rattboi24 | I got 500mhz PIII w/ 128mb ram | 03:26 |
| Orcrist | also, unless you're just in love with gnome... try a lighter-weight window manager like xfce | 03:26 |
| chillywilly | oh, Ubuntu etiquette is nice... ;) | 03:26 |
| rattboi24 | I don't know what I'd cut though, and last time I tried to compile my kernel, I had issues with modules | 03:26 |

| chillywilly | hmmm, trademarks suck | 03:29 |
| socomm | alumik: Thanks. | 03:29 |
| Orcrist | rattboi... it's actually quite a bit simpler on ubuntu than some other distros because of the debian-based nature | 03:30 |

| Orcrist | let me get you a link | 03:30 |
| Orcrist | http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm | 03:30 |
| Orcrist | if you're not familiar with apt rattboi, then you can install any of those packages (the ones referenced on that page) using synaptic, which is a frontend for apt | 03:31 |
| rattboi24 | hmm | 03:31 |
| rattboi24 | yeah, I know that | 03:31 |
| rattboi24 | but kernel-source-? is straight debian, right? | 03:31 |

| Orcrist | debian-patched kernels work fine in ubuntu | 03:32 |
| alumik | rattboi24, better use linux-source- | 03:32 |
| rattboi24 | isn't there a similar ubuntu deb called linux-source? | 03:32 |
| rattboi24 | yeah | 03:32 |
| DesiGuy | hmm, i just found out about synaptic, lol | 03:32 |
| rattboi24 | that's what I was talking about | 03:32 |
| Orcrist | but you can do without them and just use linux-source | 03:32 |
| Orcrist | yeah | 03:32 |
| rattboi24 | Orcrist, why would you use kernel-source over linux-source? | 03:32 |
| rattboi24 | just wondering | 03:32 |
| Orcrist | I wouldn't, necessarily | 03:32 |
| Orcrist | just letting you know options | 03:32 |
| alumik | and if you dont use initrd images, make sure you put the drivers of your disk controller on the kernel | 03:33 |
| Orcrist | yes, what alumik said, althought I think that's covered in the tutorial I showed you | 03:33 |
| rattboi24 | alumik, I don't know what you just said, I think | 03:33 |
| rattboi24 | ok | 03:33 |
| Orcrist | initrd is an initial ramdisk that your boot process uses to mount and begin reading your file systems (and other things) | 03:33 |
| Orcrist | it's kind of a handoff space until your system is mounted fully | 03:34 |
| rattboi24 | ah | 03:34 |
| Orcrist | if you compile support into your kernel for your filesystems, then you dont' need it | 03:34 |
| rattboi24 | yeah, i'm not retarded when it comes to compiling stuff. I'm a programmer (but not unix) for a while now | 03:34 |
| rattboi24 | I just don't know much about compiling linux kernel specifically | 03:34 |
| Orcrist | well www.kernel.org is a good place to start | 03:34 |
| rattboi24 | Orcrist, ah, I see | 03:34 |

| rattboi24 | bootsplash doesn't work on ubuntu, right? | 03:35 |

| rattboi24 | VERY long | 03:36 |
| rattboi24 | and updates would be ugly | 03:36 |
| Orcrist | yes, very | 03:36 |
| Orcrist | if you want the packages locally cached for easy retrieval later, then yes... that's usually the only reason to download them all | 03:37 |

| Orcrist | I do too... but it's on the cusp of back when ATI was still actively trying to support open-source drivers for its cards | 03:47 |

| bitfoo | you cant download them from nvidia.com ? | 03:47 |
| alumik | bitfoo, free as in freedom | 03:47 |
| alumik | open source | 03:47 |
| Orcrist | bitfoo, you can... but that's not what's generally meant by 'freedom' | 03:47 |
| Orcrist | they're binary self-compiling drivers... you can't modify them or see the source | 03:48 |
| bitfoo | :| | 03:48 |

| Ells | you dont sound happy | 05:01 |
| Ells | when I installed it before, I had trouble getting the computer back online after rebooting | 05:02 |
| cg0def | kakalto: yeah they look different and totem-xine is the binding to xine for totem | 05:02 |
| cg0def | kakalto: so you need to install totem also | 05:02 |
| kakalto | totem comes installed, if you hadn't noticed | 05:02 |
| alumik | totem is virtual package | 05:02 |
| cg0def | ok | 05:02 |
| alumik | totem-gstreamer comes by default | 05:02 |
| alumik | but it doesn't work very well | 05:02 |
| gza | Pluk, but for my brother linux is better since he'll want real player and wine etc. | 05:03 |
| kakalto | thing is, I hear xine is the only media player that handles *.asx streaming media properly | 05:03 |
| Pluk | indeed | 05:03 |
| kakalto | but it's not! | 05:03 |
| kakalto | it plays for one second | 05:03 |
| Pluk | last question about freebsd :) does it has xfce4.2? | 05:03 |
| kakalto | *ooh yay!* | 05:03 |
| cg0def | kakalto: I like gstreamer better that xine and I ment that you need to have totem installed not to install it :) | 05:03 |
| kakalto | ahk | 05:03 |
| cg0def | Pluk: yes it does | 05:03 |
| kakalto | but gstreamer doesn't work well with *.asx, does it? | 05:03 |
| Pluk | great | 05:03 |

| tritium | Ells, did you end up trying netapplet? | 05:48 |
| Ells | I think I might | 05:49 |
| Ells | it seems easier to use than ksimet | 05:49 |
| Ells | kismet | 05:49 |
| Ells | not sure if my version I have is compatible with warty though | 05:49 |
| randabis | I usually do /boot swap, then / /home | 05:49 |
| gza | how much for boot? | 05:49 |
| Ells | I have 0.99.4-1 | 05:50 |
| randabis | shouldn't need more than 100mb, 40-50 is fine too | 05:50 |
| randabis | could probably even get by on 20-30 | 05:50 |
| tritium | Ells, that's the same version in Hoary | 05:50 |
| pussfeller | FAST, you might still be able to connect from windows, if not, add hera as a user with shell /bin/false | 05:50 |
| randabis | depends on how many kernels you want, etc | 05:50 |
| Ells | Tritium, is it compatible for Warty | 05:51 |
| tritium | Ells, I thought you had the same version in Warty. | 05:51 |
| Ells | you mean the kernel | 05:51 |
| randabis | if it's the same version I'd assume compatibility would be a nonissue | 05:51 |
| tritium | It should be the same .deb on the archives | 05:52 |

| Ells | I have the deb, but cannot get it through apt-get | 05:52 |

| jay_ | my biggest gripe against ubuntu | 07:04 |
| jay_ | so far | 07:04 |
| Dreamer3 | pestil: no, i know you can steal a UI... but the flipping icons... there is no "disk defragmenter" for linux | 07:04 |
| randabis | subterrific, then he doesn't have the proper repositories installed | 07:04 |
| jay_ | you can't make anything | 07:04 |
| Dreamer3 | "files and settings transfer wizard"? | 07:04 |
| jay_ | unless you have the source dode | 07:04 |
| Shinitenshi | jay_: is this hard? | 07:04 |
| jay_ | code* | 07:04 |
| subterrific | randabis: so which repos is it in? | 07:04 |
| wm_eddie | jay_: what? | 07:04 |
| jay_ | PM me | 07:04 |
| Dreamer3 | pestil: very sick if they copy all the "features" jsut for the heck of it | 07:04 |
| pussfeller | that means samba isnt runing in the first place | 07:04 |
| randabis | it's probably in universe | 07:04 |
| Shinitenshi | k | 07:04 |
| pestil | Dreamer3, its fun!! ;-) | 07:05 |
| randabis | or restricted | 07:05 |
| jay_ | I tried to "make" ndiswrapper and it wouldnt work | 07:05 |
| randabis | not sure | 07:05 |
| subterrific | randabis: to me it looks like it is in the main repos | 07:05 |
| pestil | Dreamer3, heck, don't we have all those Aqua modders everywhere? | 07:05 |
| jay_ | turns out i had to install some stuff off the ubuntu cd | 07:05 |
| Dreamer3 | pestil: yeah, but that's just the UI | 07:05 |
| Dreamer3 | pestil: i tell you the exact same icon descriptions and tool sis just weird | 07:05 |
| pestil | Dreamer3, there's a website dedicated to making Mac OS X "About" dialogs, fortheloveofelvis | 07:05 |
| lj_ | so can anyone help me | 07:06 |
| wm_eddie | jay_: where did you try to make ndiswrapper? | 07:06 |
| randabis | subterrific, yeah, apparently it is | 07:06 |
| randabis | again, making ndiswrapper is redundant and not required | 07:06 |
| subterrific | lj_: ask your question, then people can help | 07:06 |
| pestil | Dreamer3, here's *another* completely different project: http://www.theinquirer.net/images/articles/freed1.jpg | 07:06 |
| wm_eddie | to compile things you need build-essentials | 07:07 |
| subterrific | randabis: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/howto/ndiswrapper we're following those instructions. | 07:07 |
| Amaranth | pestil: For windows there was a whole project dedicated to making pulsing buttons. | 07:07 |
| randabis | the module already exists in /lib/modules/kernel/drivers/network I think | 07:07 |

| subterrific | Shinitenshi: just open the root terminal and type apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils | 07:07 |
| pestil | Dreamer3, by the way, there *are* disk defragmenters for linux. But they're so friggin dangerous even the author advises against it | 07:07 |
| subterrific | Shinitenshi: i don't know why you're not seeing it in Synaptic, you must be doing something wrong | 07:08 |
| pestil | Amaranth, damn! | 07:08 |
| wm_eddie | They are also not really needed until the disk is over 85% full anyway. | 07:08 |
| Dreamer3 | pestil: ah | 07:08 |
| Amaranth | Modern filesystems don't usually need defragged. | 07:08 |
| Amaranth | And most people agree that defragging is almost worthless on large HDs. | 07:08 |
| wm_eddie | subterrific: does he have universe uncommented? | 07:08 |
| subterrific | wm_eddie: doesn't need to | 07:08 |
| wm_eddie | oh | 07:09 |
| === regeya [~shane@sdn-ap-008ilchicP0143.dialsprint.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| pestil | Amaranth, defragmentation still exists, it just isn't so severe anymore, or its effects are reduced by modern filesystem methods behavoir. but it still exists. | 07:09 |
| Amaranth | you mean fragmentation ;) | 07:09 |
| regeya | indeed, fragmentation exists | 07:09 |
| jay_ | sorry guys, not source, but header files | 07:09 |
| jay_ | the files needed to "make" things | 07:10 |
| jay_ | were not included in the install | 07:10 |
| wm_eddie | jay_: Yeah, that's a normal thing | 07:10 |
| regeya | just watch how long it takes the average, say, ext3 filesystem takes to have 5% non-contiguous nodes | 07:10 |
| sig | anyone install "Warty" on a sony laptop? | 07:10 |
| sig | if so what results have you gotten. | 07:10 |
| wm_eddie | jay_: The only distro where you don't need that is Gentoo | 07:10 |
| pestil | Amaranth, Dreamer3, out of my head I can instantly think of at least 4 projects that plagiarize the Mac Dock: YzDock, Mobydock, ObjectDock, Docktales | 07:10 |
| regeya | unless you're filling that drive up to capacity, you won't see serious fragmentation for a loooong time | 07:10 |
| randabis | /lib/modules/2.6.10-2-k7/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper | 07:11 |
| pestil | Amaranth, Dreamer3 not to mention all those KDE mods by, what was his name? he's so famous | 07:11 |
| regeya | may I sig that? | 07:11 |
| regeya | '<pestil> Amaranth, Dreamer3 not to mention all those KDE mods by, what was his name? he's so famous' | 07:11 |
| Amaranth | YzDock is gone, MobyDock was abandoned, ObjectDock is the current leader, never heard of Docktales | 07:11 |
| randabis | that's where it is...but I don't think it is created until you install ndiswrapper-utils | 07:11 |
| pestil | Amaranth, fragmentation, defragmentation, tomato, tomahto | 07:11 |
| regeya | fragmentation and defragmentation...the difference is NOT splitting hairs :-) | 07:11 |
| pestil | regeya: it's GPL, go ahead | 07:12 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: More like cause and effect | 07:12 |
| randabis | jay_, probably because most people don't need to "make" any modules | 07:12 |
| regeya | wonder how long maconlinux will run the crappy OS9-ASIP install | 07:12 |
| pestil | regeya, I was referring to this famous guy that made Aqua mods for KDE | 07:12 |
| regeya | that I ahve at work | 07:12 |
| Amaranth | I once had WinXP looking so much like OS X I almost fooled a Mac user. | 07:12 |

| randabis | it's good you found another way to get ndiswrapper going, but you did a redundant step | 07:12 |
| snarky | anyone know how to run a .jar file? | 07:12 |
| snarky | the command for that | 07:12 |
| regeya | seems to have fallen out of fashion, and he's not developed it for a while | 07:12 |
| wm_eddie | snarky: java -jar foo.jar | 07:12 |
| pestil | regeya, He got all mushy and depressed when people critizied him | 07:13 |

| wm_eddie | HOLY CRAP! | 07:13 |
| wm_eddie | it's 1 am! | 07:13 |
| pestil | regeya: its two sides to a ying yang | 07:13 |
| regeya | you know, when someone started talking about cedega last night, they were told to go elsewhere. how is this conversation with pestil any different? | 07:13 |
| lj_ | hello any one good with ubuntu | 07:13 |
| regeya | let's away to #ubuntuforums | 07:13 |
| lj_ | please help | 07:14 |
| regeya | load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 | 07:14 |

| snarky | lj_: just ask the question | 07:14 |
| wm_eddie | lj_: ask the question first. | 07:14 |
| randabis | regeya, I haven't really been paying attention :p | 07:14 |
| snarky | heheh | 07:14 |
| subterrific | haha | 07:14 |
| regeya | again I ask, how is this different, though? it's definitely not on-topic | 07:14 |
| lj_ | how do i make a icon for k3b | 07:14 |
| pestil | regeya, what, you pushing me out? | 07:14 |
| subterrific | lj_: i told him before to ask the question and he sits silent for 10 minutes | 07:14 |
| snarky | lj_: in kde? | 07:14 |
| pestil | regeya, I don't see anybody pissed | 07:15 |
| regeya | pestil, no, I'm just bringing up something from last night. I have a point to this, and I'll make it soon enough. :-P | 07:15 |
| randabis | regeya, is there a "better" place the discussion could be placed? | 07:15 |
| lj_ | were do i find kde | 07:15 |
| pestil | regeya, you can put ROX or XPDE on Ubuntu anytime | 07:15 |

| regeya | pestil: how is talking about mosfet's whiny bitchiness on-topic...oh well. | 07:15 |
| wm_eddie | lj: in GNOME click on applications then go to Multimedia> then right click and go to "more options" or something like that and select the "Add new item to Menu" menu item. | 07:15 |
| pestil | mosfet! that's his name! thanks | 07:16 |
| lj_ | ok | 07:16 |
| snarky | lj_: yep thats it | 07:16 |
| regeya | I have a theory: any time anything WINE-related is mentioned around Ubuntu folks, it's OFF-TOPIC | 07:16 |
| snarky | has anyone gotten ourtunes to run? | 07:16 |
| regeya | anything else is OK | 07:16 |
| snarky | its a java program | 07:16 |
| pestil | regeya, you people started kvetching about xpde, so I just defended it by pointing out how many people plagiarize OSX too. | 07:16 |
| wm_eddie | snarky: url? | 07:16 |
| regeya | pestil: "you people"? | 07:17 |
| regeya | pestil: paste an example of my 'kvetching' about xpde | 07:17 |

| pestil | regeya, yeah, you blacks, jews, christians, and little people | 07:17 |
| Dreamer3 | i wish xfce were more like the apple dock (as i understand it - never used it) i wish clicking firefox would bring up the existing window or give me a choice vs opening a new one | 07:17 |
| randabis | regeya, well the discussion is offtopic at any rate, just apparently no one noticed enough to say anything about it | 07:17 |
| subterrific | snarky: yeah, i use ourTunes at work on Warty | 07:17 |
| pestil | regeya, and and and skinheads and asians and caucasians and and and | 07:17 |
| snarky | its an itunes-like client that lets you download the music | 07:17 |
| Amaranth | ourTunes? | 07:17 |

| pussfeller | media/sda1? | 07:18 |
| FAST | pussfeller, it's an external firewire hard drive | 07:18 |

| snarky | subterrific: ? | 07:19 |
| Amaranth | subterrific: You might like my latest project, PyTunes. It's a GTK interface to the iTunes Music Store. | 07:19 |
| pestil | wm_eddie, Because of my rhtyhmbox trouble, I installed KDE's Juk. But it's fonts are so *tiny*. Is there a way to fix that? (preferrably without installing the whole KDE environment?) | 07:19 |
| pussfeller | you are trying to make it public? | 07:19 |
| wm_eddie | lj_: You have to be inside a submenu | 07:19 |
| subterrific | snarky: installed java and then ran it java -jar OTXX.jar | 07:19 |
| FAST | yes pussfeller | 07:19 |
| snarky | subterrific: which version do you use? | 07:19 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: qtconf...something? | 07:19 |
| FAST | just that folder on it | 07:19 |
| wm_eddie | Not sure if it exists... | 07:19 |
| Dreamer3 | did i ever get my question answered, is LVM supported in the default ubunut install? | 07:20 |
| lj_ | i tried but all i get is all these other options | 07:20 |
| pestil | qtconf, ok, brb | 07:20 |
| snarky | subterrific: cuz i get loads of java build errors when i try to java -jat OTXX.jar it, i dunno if its the source is no good or if my java is borked? | 07:20 |
| subterrific | Amaranth: neat, but i don't buy music from apple | 07:20 |
| pestil | subterrific, now that Linspire will open its own store, you will be able to buy linux music from Ubuntu! | 07:21 |
| snarky | Amaranth: its better to shteal it 8oP | 07:21 |
| subterrific | Amaranth: i use ourTunes to share music with friends at work. if i like it, i go buy a cd | 07:21 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: Have you tried using Lsongs? | 07:21 |
| snarky | subterrific: which version you use? | 07:21 |
| wm_eddie | it suck something terrible! | 07:21 |
| randabis | Amaranth, cool idea...my sister could have used that when she still hadn't used her gift card :p | 07:21 |
| pestil | snarky, how do you steal music in linux? everything's too clean here. I need that kinda software. apt-get what? | 07:21 |
| subterrific | snarky: OT43.jar is the jarfile name | 07:21 |
| Amaranth | randabis: Oh, you can't register with it. :/ | 07:21 |
| pestil | wm_eddie, Downloaded the source, but never compiled. Are you talking about the rhythmbox subject here, or the linspire music store subject? | 07:22 |
| snarky | subterrific: my java must be messed up it won't compile correctly | 07:22 |
| randabis | oh well, she used all her gift money anyway | 07:22 |
| Amaranth | randabis: Basically with the GUI all you can do is search (still working on it) but with the CLI you can do basically everything but register. | 07:22 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: there's emule and stuff (I use limewire) | 07:22 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: the linspire music program | 07:22 |

| wm_eddie | there should be "More Options"->Add new item to menu | 07:23 |
| subterrific | Amaranth: how are you going to handle playing the songs? | 07:23 |
| pestil | wm_eddie, I synaptic-ized emule, but I don't know if I need to configure something, cuz it never manages to connect. Haven't had the time to look into it | 07:23 |
| lj_ | ok | 07:23 |
| Amaranth | subterrific: I'm not, let the music player of the user's choice handle that. | 07:23 |
| subterrific | ahh, yes, leave the copyright violations to others | 07:24 |
| pestil | snarky, thanks for the f00f site, ill bookmark it | 07:24 |
| snarky | wm_eddie: hmm something's messed up, can you help me debug this? | 07:24 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: there's also gnomoradio that's an interesting application. | 07:24 |
| sulkd | feh... why do people rar .avi's? | 07:24 |
| randabis | compression | 07:25 |
| lj_ | now were do i find kb3 | 07:25 |
| subterrific | snarky: for news groups | 07:25 |
| wm_eddie | sulkd: they are l33t if they use rar :p | 07:25 |
| wm_eddie | snarky: have you tried the OS X jar? :) | 07:25 |
| randabis | and to divide large files into smaller ones | 07:25 |
| snarky | wm_eddie: maybe i should | 07:25 |
| sulkd | randabis, heh.. the data is as compressed as it can be.. rar can maybe shave off like 2%, by just taking reoccurring blocks or something | 07:25 |
| lj_ | file | 07:25 |
| subterrific | news groups and email have file size limitations that require the files to be divided into smaller chunks | 07:25 |
| wm_eddie | lj_: /usr/bin/kb3 | 07:26 |
| pestil | sulkd, I don't know. Habit maybe? or protection from, umm, people who only want to see a fraction of it? that way people are forced to see it whole. even the ending. | 07:26 |
| sulkd | subterrific, that I'll buy | 07:26 |
| randabis | sulkd, well it's more for dividing them up..in the cases where that doesn't apply, I'm not sure... | 07:26 |
| lj_ | ok | 07:26 |
| pestil | randabis, rar doesn't compress | 07:26 |
| snarky | wm_eddie: hmmm i'm getting the same errors | 07:26 |
| pestil | randabis, sh*t wait, rar does compress | 07:26 |
| sulkd | kinda annoying when it's a movie like Meet the Fockers, and then you have it and realize it's a gigabyte of a guy videotaping it in the audience | 07:26 |
| pestil | randabis, I thought we were talking tars. | 07:26 |
| Crane | hello | 07:26 |
| randabis | unrar-nonfree will handle most rar files | 07:26 |
| randabis | pestil, indeed | 07:26 |
| wm_eddie | snarky: try getting the source | 07:26 |
| snarky | wm_eddie: oh like getting the actual source? | 07:27 |
| randabis | tar doesn't compress without something like bzip or gzip | 07:27 |
| wm_eddie | yeah. | 07:27 |
| snarky | wm_eddie: not just the jar, k thanks man | 07:27 |
| sulkd | now I'll drop the real bombshell... why don't all people laugh at how ridiculous eminem is? | 07:27 |
| snarky | wm_eddie: it may also be an error in their source, would be good to point it out | 07:27 |
| randabis | because he's "different" and people like that for some reason | 07:28 |
| pestil | randabis, yeah that's why I made the sarcastic comment. I meant tars. but considering divx videos are compressed at max (he said avi, which is too general), then the phrase can still be funny. oh well | 07:28 |
| wm_eddie | sulkd: because he has lots of money... | 07:28 |
| sulkd | yeah.. the funds.. :/ | 07:28 |
| randabis | pestil, yeah, but like I said, it's more for dividing a large file into several small ones | 07:28 |
| lj_ | thank you | 07:28 |
| pestil | sulkd, eminem? wait, regeya will moan about how off-topic that is. Oh wait, you mean eminem trying to not use Ubuntu you mean? | 07:28 |
| sulkd | but still.. Donald Trump has $$$ but when he pulls off the same lame posturing as Eminem, he gets laughed at | 07:29 |
| randabis | I personally don't like that means of distribution, but it seems to be the de-facto standard in warez crowds | 07:29 |
| sulkd | hehe.. yeah.. offtopic | 07:29 |
| randabis | regeya was merely making a point that is duely noted | 07:29 |
| lj_ | now how can i take synaptic package files and burn them to update my computer at home becouse im at my moms | 07:30 |

| pestil | regeya, wait, talking donald trump is NOT offtopic, but talking a subject that mentions the profane word "windows" (gui emulation in ubuntu) IS offtopic? | 07:32 |

| randabis | specifically related to an incident that occured yesterday | 07:33 |
| pestil | regeya, why would juice kick me in the head? why would juice kick me at all? | 07:33 |
| subterrific | pestil: i don't use hotmail. i run my own email server | 07:33 |
| subterrific | i was just using hotmail as an example, yahoo, gmail, whatever | 07:34 |

| randabis | my hotmail account was upgraded to 250 a month ago, but I use gmail now so the gesture was kinda nill | 07:34 |

| subterrific | snarky: looks like you don't have java installed right | 07:36 |
| sulkd | that "java.lang.Error: Not implemented" sounds just splendid | 07:36 |
| Buuyo^ | Is it safe to use the debian apt sources instead of ubuntu's? I can't get libpng3, which is a prereq for cedega. | 07:36 |
| snarky | yeah | 07:36 |
| sulkd | "TODO: handle errors" | 07:36 |
| wm_eddie | Buuyo^: Sometimes, I use debian's apt sources for a couple of files. | 07:36 |
| snarky | subterrific: i just installed java with synaptic | 07:36 |
| da_bon_bon | and anyone know whats the medkit iso all about ? | 07:36 |
| subterrific | Buuyo^: yes, but that package doesn't do anything but create a symlink | 07:37 |
| sulkd | Buuyo^, universe is actually the debian unstable base.. but with ubuntu dependencies | 07:37 |
| snarky | subterrific: and i tried reinstalling | 07:37 |
| pestil | wm_eddie, funny. I wiped the .gnome2/rhythmbox folder, and tried loading the app again, pointing it to the location of my music (a FAT partition) but it still "hangs" at the first 5 songs. It's not frozen, the scrolling thingie that says "looking for songs" still moves, but no more songs are gathered. This used to work, dammit!! | 07:37 |
| sulkd | Buuyo^, and multiverse is everything in debian's unstable that hasn't been thoroughly tested on ubuntu | 07:37 |
| wm_eddie | Buuyo^: But you can seriously break your system if you install the wrong things. | 07:37 |
| randabis | I'm fairly certain libpng3 is in one of the ubuntu repositories | 07:37 |
| Buuyo^ | apt-cache search libpng3 reveals libpng3-dev | 07:38 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: interesting... | 07:38 |
| Buuyo^ | but it doesn't do much for cedega. :) | 07:38 |
| wm_eddie | Buuyo^: libpng3-dev probably depends on libpng3 | 07:38 |
| randabis | pestil, rhythmbox is kinda flaky | 07:38 |
| pestil | blatant newbie question: is synaptic a different way to access deb repositories, or is it just a graphic front end to apt-get | 07:38 |
| Buuyo^ | wm_eddie, libpng12 and -dev apparently. | 07:39 |
| jdub | pestil: graphical frontend | 07:39 |
| regeya | randabis: it wasn't just a claim; I done did done it. | 07:39 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: graphic gront end to apt-get, people aren't really supposed to use apt-get | 07:39 |
| pestil | randabis, I thought it was stronger than Juk. I didn't know that (no, its not sarcasm, i really didnt know) | 07:39 |
| randabis | regeya, indeed | 07:39 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: maybe it's a filesystem encoding problem... | 07:39 |
| wm_eddie | but probably not if it's fat... | 07:39 |
| randabis | pestil, It seems to have problems with directories that contain non-mp3 files | 07:40 |
| randabis | err non music | 07:40 |
| subterrific | rhythmbox has all sorts of problems with certain types of music files | 07:40 |
| randabis | yeah | 07:40 |
| pestil | jdub, thanks. then there should be absolutely no difference in how the updates are installed then. thanks | 07:40 |

| pestil | wm_eddie, it's worked before in rhythmbox! (plus, it works with juk fine) | 07:40 |
| randabis | I just used xmms for my music needs | 07:41 |
| subterrific | randabis: tried beep? | 07:41 |
| randabis | yes | 07:41 |
| toresbe | night | 07:41 |

| wm_eddie | pestil: try running it in gnome-terminal with -g | 07:42 |
| randabis | and I don't need a program to sort my music...I do that myself | 07:42 |
| pestil | wm_eddie, The only thing that comes to my mind that could somehow affect this, is that a couple of weeks ago my partition setup was changed (I added some partitions before my ubuntu one) and that screwed some things for a while. But I fixed it already! everything else works! (except rb) | 07:42 |
| randabis | I can see the merits of the gesture though | 07:42 |
| pestil | randabis, if you can point me to an xmms library thing, I'll go the xmms way too | 07:42 |
| pussfeller | rhymbox is just buggy | 07:42 |
| Dreamer3 | anyone here an expert on the ubunut installer? | 07:42 |
| pussfeller | plus its hard to spell | 07:42 |
| randabis | apt-cache search xmms should yield some results | 07:43 |
| heliolith | I'm trying to install ubuntu on a bunch of systems (teacher in an elementary school) and I forgot the err username/pw I chose on install setup, is there anyway to get around this? | 07:43 |
| wm_eddie | pussfeller: uh no... | 07:43 |
| wm_eddie | (hard to spell) | 07:43 |
| j-rock | heliolith: so its already installed you just forgot the username and passwd? | 07:43 |
| pestil | randabis, I just read your comment about "containing mp3 files". I'll try moving every non-mp3 file then. The funny thing, though, is it worked before. | 07:43 |

| pussfeller | mpd is very very easy to spell | 07:43 |
| wm_eddie | heliolith: you can go into single-user mode and see /etc/passwd to get the user name | 07:44 |
| randabis | amarok seems to work pretty well, but I don't want QT apps if I can avoid them | 07:44 |
| heliolith | j-rock yes err wait.... i think i just got in lol; thanks for the help | 07:44 |
| wm_eddie | the password is another problem. | 07:44 |
| pestil | wm_eddie, gnome-terminal -g? as in "rhythmbox -g" or how? | 07:44 |
| wm_eddie | you can probably reset it with su username && passwd | 07:44 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: "rhythmbox -g" | 07:44 |
| pussfeller | the best I have found is mpd... its nice and light and you run it from yer webserver | 07:44 |
| j-rock | np heliolith | 07:45 |
| jason_ | while using dist-upgrade to hoary is it ok to use an xterm or should i have started it in a non graphical console? | 07:45 |

| wm_eddie | jason_: you might get a few problems if you keep running that xserver though. | 07:46 |
| pussfeller | wm_eddie, you had trouble setting it up? | 07:46 |
| wm_eddie | pussfeller: no, I can't understand what it does. | 07:46 |
| j-rock | pestil: :) | 07:46 |
| randabis | jason_, you'll want to reboot after the upgrade completes though | 07:46 |
| pestil | wm_eddie, I'll try that. BTW, since rb is always "stuck" looking for songs, I always have to force quit it too. brb to try your suggestion | 07:47 |
| jason_ | ok so should i cancell and start it from a console? | 07:47 |
| wm_eddie | jason_: you are fine | 07:47 |
| randabis | jason_, no | 07:47 |
| jason_ | ok thanks guys | 07:47 |
| pussfeller | ok, well... I have it running on one computer in my office that has nice speakers, but I control it from any computer in the house | 07:47 |
| randabis | definitely reboot though...you'll be using a new kernel, xserver, etc | 07:48 |
| pestil | j-rock, just like those that go "I'm the IT manager of my floor but I forgot the root password. Can somebody help me?" | 07:48 |
| jason_ | :) | 07:48 |
| pussfeller | its just that, a music player deamon, it just plays music, and con be controlled by a varity of means remotely | 07:48 |
| wm_eddie | I see. | 07:48 |
| j-rock | pestil: i should see if i could actually pull that one off some time, that'd be hilarious | 07:48 |

| pepperpot | thanks! | 07:54 |
| pestil | wm_eddie, I tried running rb from terminal -g. Same results. Was that supposed to bring up console messages? | 07:54 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: I don't know but it was worth a try :) | 07:54 |
| sulkd | pestil, go by their last results :P | 07:54 |
| wm_eddie | I wonder what file is causing the problem. | 07:55 |

| wm_eddie | heliolith: KDE has a couple of educational applications in it too | 08:02 |
| HaloGray | so I tried to recompile the new driver using the new source... but I can't seem to find the source for 2.6.10 ? | 08:02 |
| heliolith | ok ty wm_eddie | 08:02 |
| HaloGray | it's not under /usr/src | 08:02 |
| ficusplanet | HaloGray, Install the appropriate linux-source package with synaptic. | 08:03 |
| pestil | heliolith, tell me about your lab. Is this a pilot linux lab? or are you deploying it full flegded? | 08:03 |
| HaloGray | ok | 08:03 |
| Ells | ficus, it is installed, now what | 08:03 |
| HaloGray | When I just attempt to use the old compiled driver insmod says invalid format | 08:03 |
| HaloGray | is that usual? | 08:03 |
| ficusplanet | Run netapplet. Or ad it to your startup progs. | 08:04 |
| heliolith | We have a small school, about 150 kids and I'm a 2nd grade teacher and the main person in charge of school computers | 08:04 |
| ficusplanet | HaloGray, if it isn't compiled for your current kernel, yes. | 08:04 |
| HaloGray | allright, downloading the latest source | 08:04 |
| HaloGray | when I tried this the first time with the usual source it didn't fly | 08:04 |
| Dreamer3 | is LVM supports in the ubuntu install? | 08:05 |
| HaloGray | I had to download linux-headers | 08:05 |
| Dreamer3 | and default kernel? | 08:05 |
| pestil | heliolith, I advise you that Reader Rabbit doesn't work well under Ubuntu | 08:05 |
| heliolith | pestil: I've gotten a dozen new machines, many of which I'm installing Ubuntu on. For me it's a matter of philosophy and for the school a matter of savings... we don't ahve a lab yet | 08:05 |
| ficusplanet | Dreamer3, yes | 08:05 |
| mojo_ | helioth: what sort of things you want to do with the 'puters? I am not in the field, but I know I have heard of lots of different things. There is even school / class / records admin type software out there to be googled up for linux | 08:05 |
| Dreamer3 | ficusplanet: can i install it on a root lvm parition though? | 08:05 |
| Dreamer3 | ficusplanet: install root on lvm rather | 08:05 |
| HaloGray | downloading source now... hope this works :( | 08:06 |
| ficusplanet | Yes, I believe my roommates box is set up like that. | 08:06 |
| wm_eddie | heliolith: gcompris is a package that has educational games for small children | 08:06 |
| heliolith | We'll keep some windows machines to run platform specific apps on... but the more I can get us to transition to Linux, I think it will be well suited for many purposes... a lot of edu soft can be used online as well | 08:06 |
| ficusplanet | HaloGray, You will also need the headers to compile a module. | 08:06 |
| HaloGray | do I need to re-get the build-essential package? | 08:06 |
| HaloGray | or do you think that's been upgraded along with the rest of things? | 08:07 |
| Dreamer3 | ficusplanet: the only space i have is on a LVM drive... in the past i recall you needed an initrd to boot from to have the LVM user space tools | 08:07 |
| pestil | heliolith, Even then, I would recommend you not to go 100% from the beginning. Start with just a few, especially since you don't have many available apps yet. At best make it a 70%linux/30%windows environment. If costs are a real concern, you can get cheap copies of win95 or win98 at eBay or something. | 08:07 |
| ficusplanet | HaloGray, That should have been upgraded. | 08:07 |
| HaloGray | ficusplanet: ok, I'll get the latest headers too | 08:07 |
| HaloGray | a quick search seems to show that the headers and source version don't match... ? | 08:07 |
| pussfeller | heliolith, you will have less problems with security too | 08:07 |
| ficusplanet | Dreamer3, You need some kind of bootloader set up, yes; there is not MBR on an LVM volume. | 08:08 |
| heliolith | pestil: I agree that's a good plan... I would like to see 50% Linux 25% mac 25% windows someday if that's possible | 08:08 |
| pestil | heliolith, I just want to advise to not make an entire deployment based on pure philosophy. From the start | 08:08 |
| jason_ | heliolith: some sort of typing tutor, debian had a kids collection if i remember correcty, scientific calculator | 08:08 |
| heliolith | pestil: point taken | 08:08 |
| HaloGray | linux-headers-2.6.10-2, linux-source-2.6.10-14 ... ? | 08:08 |
| Dreamer3 | ficusplanet: oh no, i have grub on my debian... i have a bootloader.. | 08:08 |
| ficusplanet | HaloGray, Yes, that's fine. | 08:08 |
| HaloGray | allright | 08:08 |
| Dreamer3 | ficusplanet: i just have no non-LVM parition to donate to root... so if files are neded to "start" LVM before LVM is accessible then all is lost | 08:08 |
| pestil | heliolith, I recently saw this typing tour in Synaptic. It's called Ktouch | 08:08 |
| heliolith | pestil: excellent I'll search it now | 08:09 |
| HaloGray | source download should be complete in 5 minutes or so | 08:09 |
| pestil | heliolith, But you'll need the KDE libraries, and you will need to add it manually to the menu. | 08:09 |
| mojo_ | heliolith: if they're all for a lab, you may want to look at apt-proxy to help maintain them. If they're all running the same distro, you can have this build a local cpy on a master machine of the repository, so each computer does not have to hit the net. They hit the proxy first and get the local cache via lan. WAN is usu. slow, so this speeds up multi-box upgrading | 08:09 |
| HaloGray | I'll let you know how it goes | 08:09 |
| ficusplanet | Dreamer3, I believe you should be OK, but I'm not positive. | 08:09 |
| Dreamer3 | ficusplanet: ok | 08:09 |
| === Ells [~steve@69-171-247-27.clspco.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| Dreamer3 | ficusplanet: i won't have the CD for horus and no CDRs here | 08:10 |
| HaloGray | my laptops battery life has been greatly extended with the hoary set up though :D it went from 1 hour to 4 hours. I also notice that a centrino-speedstep driver is running, so I guess hoary detects and adjusts better for centrino chips | 08:10 |
| HaloGray | that's good to know | 08:10 |
| Dreamer3 | ficusplanet: so oh well | 08:10 |
| heliolith | pestil: what do you mean by school management? | 08:10 |
| ficusplanet | Ells, pop open a terminal and run netapplet. | 08:10 |
| Ells | cool, will try | 08:10 |
| pestil | heliolith, you know, a system where you take attendance on computers, and put homework and report cards on some webpage | 08:11 |

| heliolith | pestil: it's a mishmosh of barely networked 486's and PII's running Win98 | 08:12 |
| pestil | heliolith, ouch. Ubuntu will *barely* work there, if at all. | 08:12 |
| Ells | ficus is there any particular way I am supposed to. I typed netapplet and return and nothing | 08:12 |
| pestil | heliolith, Win98 (or 95) is definitely your best system. | 08:12 |
| === wm_eddie is running Ubuntu on a PII | ||
| jason_ | heliolith: you may also want to put in a full set of development tools for the kids. Amazing how fast they pick up coding at that age. | 08:13 |

| wm_eddie | but the 486s are another problem... | 08:13 |
| heliolith | pestil: i'm getting IPcop up and running for the half of the school that has no filter, and am working on getting dans guardian installed | 08:13 |
| pestil | heliolith, Another suggestion, if you're budget for upgrades is really tight, is DSL Linux. It'll run GUI on 486 pretty snappily | 08:13 |
| heliolith | i won't mess with the 486s | 08:13 |
| Ells | it said command not found | 08:13 |
| HaloGray | <3 to ipcop | 08:13 |
| ficusplanet | Ells, You need to install netapplet with synaptic | 08:13 |
| pestil | jason_, full development tools? wtf? | 08:13 |
| heliolith | DSL linux is a low resource distro? | 08:13 |
| ficusplanet | heliolith, Yes, it is actually designed and tested on a 486 | 08:14 |
| heliolith | pestil: I've gotten a few higher end systems donated from a gaming shop that went under | 08:14 |
| jason_ | compilers scripting langs | 08:14 |
| Ells | thought I did,but will try again | 08:14 |
| mojo_ | pestil: well true a full gnome desktop will be probably a pig for those old boxes heliolith has there, but there is also the option of stripping it down. Xfce4 is nice n light. But truly, if he's going to forego Gnome he might start a lookin at other distros out there. | 08:14 |
| ficusplanet | ok | 08:14 |

| Dreamer3 | heliolith: ah | 08:16 |
| lj_ | i went and put k3b in aplications but when i use it it wont find my burner but in root terminal it finds it can some one help | 08:16 |
| Ells | all I have there is gnome predict | 08:16 |
| Ells | could one of my sources be missing | 08:16 |
| pestil | Ells, sorry, what was the software you looking for? | 08:16 |
| Ells | netapplet | 08:16 |
| wm_eddie | lj_: maybe adding gksudo to the command field? | 08:16 |
| HaloGray | it's not in synaptec? | 08:17 |
| wm_eddie | that way you run it as root. | 08:17 |
| ficusplanet | Try marking it for reinstallation and make sure you click apply in synaptic. | 08:17 |
| pestil | Ells, bend down to a terminal and type "netapplet" | 08:17 |
| lj_ | how do i do that | 08:17 |
| Ells | it is, and it says it is installed, but it dont show up | 08:17 |
| wm_eddie | lj_: right click on k3b and go to properties | 08:17 |
| lj_ | ok | 08:17 |
| pestil | Dreamer3, heck, he's a second grade teacher! C'mon! Python for 7 year olds??!!?? | 08:18 |
| lj_ | then what | 08:18 |
| HaloGray | ficusplanet: the source just got done coming down. I'm going to try compiling the module again and let you know how it goes. | 08:18 |
| Dreamer3 | pestil: huh? | 08:18 |
| lj_ | do i do | 08:18 |
| Ells | again it says command not found | 08:18 |
| wm_eddie | change the field that has k3b to gksudo k3b | 08:18 |
| Ells | just dont understand it | 08:18 |
| ficusplanet | HaloGray, OK. I really think you need the headers, too. | 08:18 |
| jason_ | I thought some were 6th graders | 08:18 |
| pestil | Dreamer3, wasn't it you who suggested to put dev tools to teach the kids? if not, sorry | 08:18 |
| ficusplanet | Ells, Mark it for reinstallation and click apply in synaptic. | 08:18 |
| HaloGray | the headers are already downloaded | 08:19 |
| Dreamer3 | pestil: no | 08:19 |
| Ells | cool thanks | 08:19 |
| Dreamer3 | pestil: not i | 08:19 |
| mojo_ | Heliolith: I think it's cool that you're wanting to put linux in front of the kids along with win n mac. Jason is right about kids and programming. But that's a curriculum thing, of course. Regarding "school management", there are programs for managing class rosters, attendance, grades, etc. Though many schools may already have some system in place for that. | 08:19 |
| lj_ | ill try it and be back in 30 mins | 08:19 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: My friend Joe was programming in BASIC when he was 7 | 08:19 |
| HaloGray | hmmm... it seems to be just a tarball in the /usr/src/ dir | 08:19 |
| HaloGray | do I need to reboot? | 08:19 |
| wm_eddie | these kids have it easy. | 08:19 |
| ficusplanet | HaloGray, No, you need to unpack the tarball. | 08:19 |
| Ells | no reinstalled, what next | 08:19 |
| randabis | you only need kernel header to make modules, not kernel source | 08:19 |
| Ells | now | 08:19 |
| HaloGray | :( I figured synaptec would have done that much for me | 08:19 |
| HaloGray | allright | 08:20 |
| randabis | kernel source is to roll your own kernel | 08:20 |
| jason_ | y | 08:20 |
| randabis | you don't need it unless you intend to make a kernel | 08:20 |
| wm_eddie | well I'm heading to bed. | 08:20 |
| ficusplanet | Ells, Check for Network Selector under Apps>>Other | 08:20 |
| randabis | kernel headers suffices to compile modules | 08:20 |
| heliolith | mojo_: we do most centralized student tracking on paper, or in one computer's DB it's a small school but I'm open to learning that stuff for my own class tracking... | 08:20 |

| ficusplanet | Ells, You can just restart the panel by running "killall gnome-panel" | 08:21 |
| wm_eddie | restarting will do nothing | 08:21 |
| Ells | cool thanks | 08:21 |
| pestil | wm_eddie, Yeah, I programmed a CASIO PB-1000 for my father's store inventory system when I was 8. I still don't agree with the compiling thing though. | 08:21 |
| randabis | HaloGray, again, you don't need the kernel source unless you are compiling a completely new kernel | 08:21 |
| wm_eddie | pestil: I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic though. | 08:21 |
| chuck | ubuntu root password - I don't recall the setup asking for a root password? | 08:21 |
| Ells | beleive it or not, it did not show up | 08:21 |
| wm_eddie | chuck: it's all done via sudo | 08:21 |
| randabis | there is no root password | 08:21 |
| randabis | unless you set one up | 08:22 |
| ficusplanet | Ells, Sweet. Does it run? | 08:22 |
| Ells | in hoary what does the icon look like at the top, it did not show up | 08:22 |
| pestil | wm_eddie, I'm not so sure. Granted, my sarcasm-o-meter is broken here, but still, I don't he was kidding. | 08:22 |
| chuck | what no root password! sudo requires a tag | 08:22 |
| pw | Good morning, fellow Ubuntoids. | 08:22 |
| randabis | chuck sudo uses your USER password | 08:22 |
| HaloGray | randabis: I'm trying to use it to compile a module for the kernel | 08:22 |
| ficusplanet | Ells, Are you using the default theme? | 08:22 |
| HaloGray | the module asks for the kernel source? | 08:22 |
| randabis | HaloGray, you use kernel headers for that | 08:22 |
| pestil | chuck, there's not even a root account | 08:22 |
| randabis | point the module to kernel headers | 08:22 |
| Ells | how would I know for certain | 08:22 |
| randabis | pestil, incorrect | 08:23 |
| chuck | so in terminal I am always root - have used RH before | 08:23 |
| randabis | there IS a root account | 08:23 |
| pestil | randabis, semantics, sorry. | 08:23 |
| wm_eddie | but it has no password. | 08:23 |
| HaloGray | I tried and it compiled ok, but when I try to insmod the compiled driver it says invalid format | 08:23 |
| ficusplanet | Ells, You can do a few things. First, check in the System Tools>>System Monitor to see if netapplet is running. | 08:23 |
| pestil | chuck, if you want to set a root password, type in sudo passwd | 08:23 |
| Ells | cool | 08:23 |
| chuck | why does it prompt for password at Ssu | 08:23 |
| wm_eddie | chuck: when you want to do something that requires root privaledges use sudo command | 08:23 |
| randabis | HaloGray, make sure you used the correct headers for your running kernel | 08:23 |

| heliolith | Ubuntu on a 500mhz PIII with 128ram should be fine right? | 08:24 |
| chuck | ok different than RH | 08:24 |
| pestil | tasteful trivia: did you know that "sudo" in spanish means "I sweat" | 08:24 |
| wm_eddie | heliolith: I'm using a PII 300ish | 08:24 |
| HaloGray | hmmm.. the correct headers might be 2.6.10-2-386 | 08:24 |
| HaloGray | would that make all the difference? | 08:25 |
| pestil | heliolith, it's fair enough | 08:25 |
| wm_eddie | GNOME runs a little two slow for me. | 08:25 |
| randabis | you don't need linux-source | 08:25 |
| heliolith | wm_eddie are you running gnome? | 08:25 |
| randabis | yes that would make the difference | 08:25 |
| Ells | it is not running, I did a whereis and it cameback /usr/share/man/man1/netapplet.1.gz | 08:25 |
| wm_eddie | heliolith: but it'd be a little better on a 500 | 08:25 |

| randabis | assuming you're running the 386 kernel | 08:25 |
| wm_eddie | and you can use gconf-editor to do some things to speed up gnome. | 08:25 |
| wm_eddie | I think... | 08:25 |

| ficusplanet | heliolith, I'd be willing to donate some parts, if you'd like them. I have some 40GB harddrives and a few motherboards and ~1Ghz CPUs. | 08:31 |

| Amaranth | Dreamer3: If they have different usernames then it shouldn't be a problem. | 08:46 |
| mojo_ | np. (pestil: oh. well... just letting him know that it's promising). I gotta go afk for a while. u kidz have fun! | 08:46 |
| Dreamer3 | Amaranth: i mean the same username, so i don't have to setup stuff again | 08:47 |
| pestil | :-D | 08:47 |
| randabis | HaloGray, I'm not sure, but it should be a nonissue if you --purge remove the old kernel | 08:47 |

| kakalto | can more than one partition be mounted on the same point? | 08:49 |

| kakalto | ? | 08:49 |
| wolf1502 | nope | 08:49 |
| kakalto | arg | 08:49 |
| randabis | HaloGray, you can use synaptic, or apt-get --purge remove nameofkernelpackage | 08:49 |
| Dreamer3 | kakalto: how would that even work? | 08:49 |
| wolf1502 | but you could mount sda6 on /mnt/abc, and sda7 on /mnt/def | 08:49 |
| arnaud | how get mplayer with an athlon ? | 08:50 |
| kakalto | Dreamer3, I don't know, I was hoping :( | 08:50 |
| Dreamer3 | kakalto: why? | 08:50 |
| kakalto | I don't have enough space on sda6 | 08:50 |
| pestil | kakalto, you can mount them as /sda6 and /sda7, but both can't be "/" at the same time | 08:50 |

| randabis | gparted > qtparted | 08:51 |
| kakalto | how much space does /home take up? | 08:51 |
| randabis | you could use a livecd possibly to combine the partitions | 08:51 |

| mojo_ | wolf1502... hmmm.. something in the system things i'm a robot???? | 08:52 |
| randabis | pestil, you'll have to get a deb from the gparted site though, not in the repos as of yet | 08:52 |
| pestil | heliolith, sure, good luck. | 08:53 |
| wolf1502 | mojo_, the irc server does it to everyone that connects | 08:53 |
| wolf1502 | if you dont have the ports open you have nothing to worry about | 08:53 |
| mojo_ | wolfnnnn - wonder if it is related to me having reset my cablemodem a short while ago while connection to irc survived' | 08:53 |

| heliolith | pestil: I'm not blinded by my idealism, so it's all good (-= thanks again... be well | 08:54 |

| kakalto | yes | 08:55 |
| mojo_ | wolf: okie dokie... learn somethin new all the time. | 08:55 |
| pestil | Amaranth, thought I can agree and accept it's a double edged sword. The obnoxious fanatism of the mobs for open source can also be a heck of a really good motivation for doing stuff for free!! | 08:56 |
| randabis | pestil, not a big deal, dpkg -i debname.deb will install the deb pretty easily | 08:56 |
| kakalto | Dreamer3, but if you install via expert mode, you can choose between lilo and grub | 08:56 |
| Dreamer3 | kakalto: du doesn't estimate | 08:56 |

| randabis | pestil, no, it just lets developers get away with SLOPPY coding | 09:16 |
| Ells | ficus, totem plays it, but not other program, and in totem, there is no sound | 09:16 |
| randabis | gecko is standards compliant | 09:16 |
| pestil | Xenguy, IE is the victim of its own making. The reason it put all those snazzy features (and integration) was to outbeat the competition. and it worked. | 09:16 |

| randabis | IE is not | 09:16 |
| Dreamer3 | pestil: when i can i replace it entirely (as much as possible) on clients computers with Firefox | 09:16 |
| Xenguy | Dreamer3 shouldn't even be here AFAICT | 09:16 |
| Mantle | i finally got ndiswrapper to work in hoary, but i can't seem to set the essid i want | 09:16 |
| pestil | randabis, If you equate SLOPPY with EASY, I completely agree | 09:17 |
| Dreamer3 | pestil: IE still has like 90% (or more) market share... though i read firefox and others had taken 10% the other day, so maybe it's less in some places | 09:17 |
| Amaranth | randabis: Gecko is not | 09:17 |
| Xenguy | pestil: it's completely inferior, in all respects - what are you frickin talking about? | 09:17 |
| Dreamer3 | i only know what our servers logs say | 09:17 |
| randabis | Amaranth, in what way? | 09:17 |
| Mantle | i tried using the gui tool and iwconfig wlan0 essid [essid] but it doesn't stick | 09:17 |
| ficusplanet | Ells, Is your mixer set correctly? | 09:17 |
| mojo_ | dreamer: isn't there some TCPA/Palladium/All Your BOX R Belong to MS crap hiding in the XP SP2 and latest WinMediaPlyr updates??? I could be wrong, but still... (chill runs down spine) | 09:17 |
| Amaranth | randabis: Because the standard isn't specific, it has to be interpreted. That means people interpret things differently. | 09:17 |
| pestil | Xenguy, you are blinded by your faith, man | 09:17 |
| Amaranth | randabis: And that's before you find the actual bugs. :P | 09:17 |
| randabis | true enough | 09:17 |
| randabis | I'll give you that | 09:18 |
| Dreamer3 | mojo_: *laughs* | 09:18 |
| Xenguy | pestil: IE is a piece of total shit - get with the program | 09:18 |
| Ells | ficus, as far as what | 09:18 |
| Amaranth | Gecko isn't perfect but it's probably the closest to it. | 09:18 |
| cowbud | IE succeeded because it was the only browser preinstalled PERIOD | 09:18 |
| Dreamer3 | mojo_: watch Irobot and think that WIndows XP makes it very hard to turn off auto-updates withotu feeling like a moron | 09:18 |
| cowbud | WABAM | 09:18 |
| randabis | Amaranth, that's better :) | 09:18 |
| Amaranth | But Opera and KHTML are right there too. | 09:18 |
| ficusplanet | Ells, The channels aren't muted, right? I know that is a problem for some people in hoary. | 09:18 |
| pestil | Xenguy, *heck*, GNOME was born out of the vision to see how the whole IE development was done! | 09:18 |
| Dreamer3 | cowbud: and it was better than netscape at the time | 09:18 |
| randabis | Amaranth, yeah, they are pretty good as well | 09:18 |
| mojo_ | Dreamer3:: ALL you box, and don't you forget! ;) | 09:18 |
| cowbud | dreamer: yes | 09:18 |
| Ells | ficus, I can hear sound when the computer starts up. | 09:18 |
| Dreamer3 | cowbud: i remember when IE was the "cool" browser and NS 4.x did crap | 09:18 |
| randabis | I used to use opera a lot | 09:19 |
| Xenguy | pestil: IE sucks compared to FireFox - isn't it obvious by now? | 09:19 |
| Ells | is that what your talking about | 09:19 |
| pestil | Xenguy, now, WMP. THAT is crap | 09:19 |
| randabis | even tinkered around with Konqueror some | 09:19 |
| cowbud | dreamer: hrmm I am skeptical there I don't remember IE ever being "cool" | 09:19 |
| Amaranth | pestil: Actually, I kinda like WMP10. | 09:19 |
| Dreamer3 | mojo_: hey, our customers have no choice... deal with bugs and security glitches and get no work done or sell your soul to MS | 09:19 |
| ficusplanet | Ells, Yes. There is no reason for totem not to be playing sound, though. It should work fine with esd. | 09:19 |
| pestil | Xenguy, IE even NOW is faster at loading pages than firefox. PROVED. | 09:19 |
| cowbud | I remember when like IE 3.0 redirected you to microsoft.com when you put in www.netscape.com | 09:19 |
| Xenguy | pestil: you windows weenies need to find yer own channel | 09:19 |
| Dreamer3 | cowbud: IE was cool before mozilla really hit the scene | 09:19 |
| Xenguy | pestil: bullshit - you are on crack | 09:19 |
| Ells | ficus, I will give it a shot | 09:19 |

| pestil | Xenguy, the fact that I can think for myself and don't bash microsoft for showing up in a sentence doesn't make me a windows weenie | 09:20 |

| Dreamer3 | as long as we can get our clients away from IE and Outlook Express I'm happy | 09:20 |
| Xenguy | Dreamer3: go away | 09:20 |
| Xenguy | pestil: give me a break | 09:21 |
| Amaranth | Xenguy: I'd say I know what I'm talking about. Do you poke and prod into IE and Gecko CSS and JS on a daily basis? | 09:21 |

| snowblink | Mantle: /etc/network/interfaces should have a wireless_essid line | 09:22 |
| Xenguy | Amaranth: you figure it out | 09:22 |
| Dreamer3 | cowbud: epiphany seems to load a LOAD slower here, perhaps because it needs so much gnome stuff | 09:22 |
| cowbud | I am on a 2.0ghz so that might have an affect :) | 09:22 |
| Xenguy | pestil: you insult us with every statement you make | 09:22 |

| Dreamer3 | cowbud: i might, i've been using firefox forever, same browser on multiple platforms is nice | 09:22 |
| Xenguy | Amaranth: then act like it | 09:22 |
| ficusplanet | Ells, I have to get going, but Xine should be the same as totem, seeing as totem-xine is based on it. Make sure you're using totem-xine and not totem-gstreamer. | 09:22 |
| Ells | okay | 09:23 |

| Dreamer3 | randabis: warty is supposed to be stable at all time? | 09:40 |
| Dreamer3 | :) | 09:40 |
| Xenguy | Amaranth: nonsense | 09:40 |
| randabis | for the most part it is...it's pretty stable for a first release | 09:41 |
| randabis | in terms of packaging and system stability | 09:41 |
| Xenguy | Amaranth: tell me - what exactly *does* IE have to do with *anything* Ubuntu, heh? | 09:41 |
| pw | IE doesn't draw things faster than Firefox, anyhoo. | 09:41 |
| Dreamer3 | randabis: do the packages get updates based on sarge or sid or something in warty, or is it esentially frozen period? | 09:41 |
| randabis | it's frozen, only security updates are received | 09:41 |
| pestil | Amaranth, you keep fighting that guy! hillarious | 09:42 |
| Amaranth | Xenguy: It has nothing to do with it, I dropped it long ago. You are the one that keeps talking about it. | 09:42 |
| Dreamer3 | randabis: ok... apt-get upgrade should be as minimal as debian stable then? | 09:42 |

| Amaranth | Xenguy: Are you an op? If not, you can stop telling people what to do. | 09:42 |

| Dreamer3 | randabis: interesting | 09:43 |

| goldfish | Of course not. | 09:43 |

| anti_ | Ells, "mplayer -ao esd dvd://1" in a terminal. | 10:35 |

| mojo_ | Ells, he is saying to run mplayer from a command line and put the -ao esd on it. Like "gmplayer -ao esd" | 10:35 |

| JJH^ | LinuxJones, do i type that? | 01:20 |
| flankk | dgr, hmm. well the main reason i don't want to use debian on desktop (even with unstable) is because of no xorg, which i realize ubuntu has, but i want something up-to-date as well. | 01:20 |

| LinuxJones | iapx8088, I was running the 2.6.10 kernel. | 01:31 |
| iapx8088 | LinuxJones, so that wasn't the problem | 01:31 |
| LinuxJones | iapx8088, I am assuming it is a nvidia driver problem, with 2.6.10 | 01:32 |
| MobyTurbo | iapx8088, I actually in sid was running the 2.4 kernel. They backported, in both 2.4 and 2.6, the changed ABI, and thus only run with the latest nvidia drivers, which is what sid supplies with apt-get. | 01:32 |
| iapx8088 | so, a big mess | 01:32 |
| MobyTurbo | LinuxJones, not just 2.6.10, backported 2.6.10 features can break earlier kernels. | 01:33 |
| MobyTurbo | actually, the problem is I think the nvidia driver. | 01:33 |

| sir_hellis | namaste, Fire Up synaptic or whatever you like to use and update your repository.Install the packages "ndiswrapper-utils" and "linux-image-2.6.8.1-3-386" | 04:38 |
| namaste | uh, it says invalid driver on ndiswrapper -l. | 04:39 |

| danilo | Xappe: I don't have it enabled because it's buggy | 04:39 |
| Xappe | well, you need it for tvtime and MPlayer | 04:39 |

| housetier | Jack, no! | 05:18 |
| Jack | ok | 05:19 |

| topyli | sir_hellis: "linux" doesn't care what the files are called | 05:19 |
| iapx8088 | in a samba mount, to have it writable to the user of the group disk, i have to set an umask | 05:19 |

| sir_hellis | how can i display my jpg images in gimp ? | 05:20 |
| housetier | Jack, when you "apt-get install libglib1.2" whats the error message? | 05:20 |
| tja | archive.ubuntu.com somehow doesn't allow rsync-connections anymore.. | 05:20 |
| housetier | don't forget the sudo | 05:20 |
| tja | says max connections reached | 05:21 |

| HaloGray | right, but if it's there, and auto eth0 is set, you don't want that | 06:23 |
| HaloGray | since eth0 isn't ever really used | 06:23 |
| Neo_654 | If wifi is eth1 wouldn't that mean that there is an eth0? (just asking cause I don't know) | 06:23 |

| HaloGray | to answer your question though... ubuntu is persistant to find a connection even if the connection isn't plugged in | 06:27 |
| HaloGray | that's why the boot time is increased 10 fold | 06:27 |

| jesuel | i think i need a faster machine | 07:23 |
| hybrid | does anyone know of a real good .avi player to play files downloaded on bittorrent | 07:23 |
| MobyTurbo | Dreamer3_, you need the security.ubuntu.com branch to get the security upgrades. It should be in your /etc/apt/sources.list file already. | 07:23 |
| Dreamer3_ | MobyTurbo: i get to install ubuntu for the first time today :) | 07:23 |

| hybrid | ok thans | 07:23 |
| Dreamer3_ | MobyTurbo: gonna see if it can lure me away from sarge ;) | 07:24 |
| MobyTurbo | Dreamer3_, warty is like stable, except fairly up to date. Hoary is like unstable, except for even more unstable. | 07:24 |
| jesuel | think im gonna try hoary on mah laptop ;) | 07:25 |
| Dreamer3_ | MobyTurbo: yeah, and sarge got lost ;) | 07:25 |
| hybrid | Dreamer_3 what artitecture are you on>? x86? | 07:25 |
| Dreamer3_ | hybrid: yes | 07:25 |
| MobyTurbo | Dreamer3_, sarge only makes sense in the Debian policy release system - which is showing signs of not working well. | 07:25 |
| Dr_Aevil | Shambler: basically, try ./configuring beagle and see what it complains about :) then check to make sure that what it needs isn't in the repository. I found with sid that pretty much all that I needed was within sid already. In fact the stuff that wasn't in sid could have been since august but..t's been held up a bit..I gather more stuff will be compiled with sharp extensions soon as several packages (e.g. Muine) require it. Having said that beagle...is still q | 07:25 |
| stuNNed | is totem-xine still broken in hoary? | 07:26 |
| hybrid | Dreamer_3 ok then ubuntu won't be near as bd to install as debian time wise | 07:26 |
| hybrid | **bad | 07:26 |
| Dreamer3_ | MobyTurbo: well, i get got tired of stable but diesn't want unstable, so sarge works well :) | 07:26 |
| Dreamer3_ | MobyTurbo: just have to watch things like Gnome updates that you don't jump to soon (before all packages come in)... but other than that it's been peaceful | 07:27 |
| Shambler | dr_aevil: i'm just asking myself if i should do this... are there any plans when beagle will be available as a deb? | 07:27 |
| MobyTurbo | Dreamer3_, well, running the latest GNOME (and xorg) is not a problem in Ubuntu. :-) | 07:27 |
| Dreamer3_ | MobyTurbo: can one add sarge/sid repositories to ubunut and expect workabout results or no? | 07:27 |

| Dreamer3_ | MobyTurbo: well, can you add hoary repositories to warty then? | 07:28 |
| Xappe | hoary is xorg | 07:28 |
| Dreamer3_ | Xappe: that's what i thoguht | 07:28 |
| Dreamer3_ | MobyTurbo: i'm sure i'll want gimp 2.2 back for example :) | 07:28 |
| Dreamer3_ | MobyTurbo: and i understand it's in hoary but not warty | 07:28 |
| MobyTurbo | oops, Warty is xfree. All this time I thought it was xorg. ;-) | 07:29 |
| Dr_Aevil | Shambler: I'm not aware of any but it's very close to being possible to include - which surprised me somewhat :) I mean, anyone could package it as a deb now..but you'd have to still mess around a bit. | 07:29 |

| chrissturm | pvh: i hope that path is correct, i am using hoary, and there its: ls /usr/share/doc/xorg-driver-synaptics | 08:21 |
| pvh | chrissturm: Yes, I'm also using hoary. | 08:21 |
| pvh | chrissturm: The laptop support is so much more developed. | 08:22 |
| chrissturm | ok, then its the xorg one | 08:22 |
| pvh | chrissturm: Yes, I have it. | 08:22 |
| HaloGray | hoary uses x.org right? | 08:22 |
| pvh | chrissturm: Which is not a great sign... | 08:22 |
| pvh | HaloGray: optionalyl | 08:22 |
| chrissturm | pvh: yeah, and powermanagement is great | 08:22 |

| chrissturm | pvh: you need to paste some codesnippet into your xorg.conf. | 08:23 |
| HaloGray | the first thing is that xorg makes all my fonts look prettier... after that there's a lot of subtle things. It seems to respond faster, it has better transperency | 08:23 |

| Kakalto | iapx8088, plus, it booted fine the first time after I installed grub | 08:25 |
| iapx8088 | 1) update-grub should automagically find everything for you. 2)It means "I shit high" | 08:25 |

| iapx8088 | Kakalto, if it can't find the kernel image, how did you manage to boot. | 08:29 |
| iapx8088 | have you multiple kernels | 08:29 |

| datadevil | mebaran151, heuh? | 08:30 |
| AndyR | cuatro, whats wrong with the fonts in the sreenshot? | 08:30 |
| iapx8088 | Kakalto, it's fixable, as long as it's still there | 08:30 |

| cuatro | AndyR that was yesterday, now I have instaleld the array cd 4 but my fonts are not like that screenshot, I wanna that fonts, and I don't know how to do that :( | 08:31 |
| mebaran151 | that controlled if fonts were aliased or not | 08:31 |
| mebaran151 | try apt-get install xfstt | 08:31 |

| TreadingSoftly | Hi folks. I'm running hoary and using OpenOffice.org 1.9.{milestone} deb package off hoary main. But for some reason the fonts in the menus (not the documents) are squashed, and checkboxes reduced to a useless line. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? Don't have this problem in my old OpenOffice, which is still on the machine. | 08:41 |
| mebaran151 | ok | 08:41 |
| mebaran151 | well you can configure fonts | 08:41 |
| mebaran151 | in fontconfig | 08:41 |

| mebaran151 | you have to do that as root | 08:52 |
| mebaran151 | if pmount works | 08:52 |
| BiteMeBilly | dueyfinster: It's one of the choices when you boot the CD | 08:52 |

| mebaran151 | it is cleaner | 08:52 |
| mebaran151 | everything done by the user | 08:52 |
| mebaran151 | pmount (dev) | 08:52 |

| bitfoo | bitfoo@horus:~ $ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows/ -o bitfoo | 08:53 |

| bitfoo | :( | 08:53 |

| TreadingSoftly | mebaran151: ah .. slight correction: the fonts still looked squashed but I've got checkboxes back sort of. Whereas before I had [vertical line instead of checkbox] Use OpenGl, now I have [checkbox] se OpenGL - note the missing first letter of "Use". Then when I tell OOo to "Use system font for user interface" (under Options - OpenOffice.org - View), the menu font becomes legible - which is good. Even then, however, checkboxes seem to hide the first | 08:57 |
| mebaran151 | the umask makes sure the permissions work out | 08:57 |
