| Evaso | hi guys, what's appen if i change my video card on an installed ubuntu and the boot the pc? | 12:03 |
| Neil3 | i guess i chose fedora cause it is widely established | 12:03 |
| jason_ | Neil3: i will never be a RH fan, ubuntu is pretty nice | 12:03 |
| Neil3 | being spawn of red hat and all | 12:03 |
| mjt | Sav: xvid/divx are two codecs for your video stream, subtitles are outside that stream | 12:03 |
| Neil3 | i do like fedora but it does feel sluggish sometimes | 12:03 |
| Grev | Neil3: only because I'm a RHCE and redHat configuation is burned into me:) | 12:03 |
| Neil3 | i must admit | 12:03 |

| Neil3 | nice | 12:04 |

| Xappe | Sav, you can select the subtitlefile in the "open file" dialogue | 12:04 |
| Sav | Xappe, ohh | 12:04 |
| Neil3 | just wondering about a few things i use in fedora and if i can do the same stuff in ubuntu | 12:04 |
| Neil3 | evolution 2.0 for email | 12:04 |
| Neil3 | etc | 12:04 |
| shingokii | Anyone know why ubunt doesn't have firefox 1.0? | 12:04 |
| Neil3 | and openoffice is on there too i see | 12:04 |
| Grev | Neil3: goto www.fedorafaq.org, has some speed up tips (run prelink, disable ipv6, and others) | 12:05 |
| mjt | ubuntu have quite recent versions of most popular software | 12:05 |
| Neil3 | yeah i did those Grev | 12:05 |
| Neil3 | still | 12:05 |
| mpq | I don't know why it didn't have 1.0 | 12:05 |
| Xappe | shingokii, because warty was released before ff1 | 12:05 |
| jdub | shingokii: warty didn't because 1.0 was quite b0rky | 12:05 |
| Neil3 | i tried the ubuntu live cd out it just seemed a lot quicker | 12:05 |
| shingokii | Xappe, do the versions in the repository not get updated though? | 12:05 |
| jdub | shingokii: so we reverted to the more stable release | 12:05 |
| jason_ | Neil3: i dont care for yum and uptodate has allways crashed on me. fedora with apt is ok but i think hoary is more stable, my opinion | 12:05 |
| Neil3 | synaptic seems great | 12:05 |
| Xappe | shingokii, no the versions are locked after release | 12:06 |
| shingokii | synaptic is lovely | 12:06 |
| Neil3 | there is implimentation in fedora of synaptic and apt-get | 12:06 |

| Evaso | jdub: i know that it is and hard problem, so i want to start to talk about some possible solution with someone, what is the "ubuntu" right people about this kind of problem? | 12:31 |

| TheMuso | mpq: Sorry I came in a bit late, what are you trying to do? | 12:32 |
| mpq | my only problem now is that my IRC client pops up whenever anyone says "mpq in the chat" | 12:32 |
| Dreamer3 | i'm using screen and irssi on my server (always have, it hasn't changed)... and then i resize the terminal window (on my client) irssi would always mess up... so with debian sarge i just ctrl-a d (disconnect) and then screen -r (reconnect) and irssi would redraw and "learn" the new size and all was well... with ubuntu this does not happy and i'm at a loss since my client (gnome-termainl) is the only thing that has changed... and i wa | 12:32 |

| Xenguy | Dreamer3: ^-l ? | 12:33 |
| Dreamer3 | Xenguy: ? | 12:33 |
| TheMuso | mpq: That is because people like myself are directing our conversations to you directly. It makes for easier to follow chats in the channel IMO. | 12:33 |
| Xenguy | Ctrl-l <-- ell | 12:33 |
| Dreamer3 | Xenguy: what's that? | 12:33 |
| TheMuso | mpq: You would have to look into your IRC client documentation to find out how to disable the popups. | 12:33 |
| Dreamer3 | Xenguy: i'm not sure why you mention it, give me more context | 12:33 |
| mpq | I don't want to disable it | 12:33 |
| mpq | it's just an inconvenience right now | 12:33 |
| Xenguy | Dreamer3: should 'redraw' the screen (if I understand your Q correctly) | 12:33 |
| Dreamer3 | Xenguy: no, you missed it | 12:34 |
| TheMuso | Ok mpq I won't directly address you for now. :) | 12:34 |
| TheMuso | I understand. | 12:34 |

| Dreamer3 | Xenguy: but disconnecting and reconecting screen _always_ fixed it... and with ubuntu this doesn't work (despite the fact that the software in question is on the server) | 12:35 |
| mpq | I used "make" and now the terminal is really slow | 12:35 |
| mpq | when will I know if it's done? | 12:35 |

| mpq | I'm wondering if it should take this long to build | 12:36 |
| Xenguy | _Immanewbie_: my suggestion was aumix and I got spanked by jdub for it ;-) | 12:36 |
| TheMuso | It depends on how fast your system is, and how big the package is. | 12:37 |
| Dreamer3 | Xenguy: next time i'm in debian i'll confirm that the behavior is correct there, but i only tend to notice things when they are different :) | 12:37 |
| Xenguy | Dreamer3: hrm, it's an odd sounding problem; not sure what to suggest frankly | 12:37 |
| _Immanewbie_ | Xenguy: well the point is that alsamixer is oki sound on the system is oki | 12:37 |
| randabis | mpq mplayer takes a little while to finish | 12:37 |
| mpq | and I keep getting various error messages during it | 12:38 |
| randabis | such as? | 12:38 |
| mpq | most of them having to do with pointers | 12:38 |
| TheMuso | mpq what errors? | 12:38 |
| Xenguy | _Immanewbie_: no silver bullet here | 12:38 |
| randabis | that's normal | 12:38 |
| TheMuso | they are probably just warnings, I wouldn't really worry about them unless they stop the build. | 12:38 |
| randabis | if I understand the errors right | 12:38 |
| mpq | and it paused for like a minute twice | 12:38 |
| Xenguy | _Immanewbie_: usually I speak up when I get a brainwave too ;-) | 12:38 |

| Stew2 | shock_ you're trying to get something else running, some other wm? | 01:07 |
| shock_ | i just like to have backup possibilities beyond "terminal session" | 01:07 |

| shock_ | yes | 01:07 |

| shock_ | *sigh* | 01:09 |
| Stew2 | shock_: Well, you want to run something that a lot of other people aren't, it seems like it's asking for extra trouble. Linux in general has enough trouble running out of the box on mainstream setups. It seems when it becomes tweaking it, far too easy to jump off the deep end (unless, you really know linux) | 01:09 |
| shock_ | I'll do a purge & reinstall of openbox | 01:09 |
| shock_ | see what it does ;) | 01:09 |
| Stew2 | (for instance, a programmer) | 01:09 |

| Stew2 | Dreamer3 Well, you know what i meant. :) | 01:16 |

| Stew2 | jesuel No, the only tv in cards I've know about are BTxxx based cards. | 01:17 |

| Lineman | neyz no its not bad | 01:23 |
| Lineman | it works well i am using it on two machines | 01:23 |

| Dreamer3 | Neil3: whatever | 01:28 |

| Neil3 | hehe | 01:28 |
| Dreamer3 | Neil3: any distro is like that (unless you'rs using debian experimental/unstable) | 01:29 |
| Neil3 | but it uses older pkgs for a reason i guess | 01:29 |
| jesuel | oh i figured out my tv tuner heh, module wasnt loaded .;p | 01:29 |

| Neil3 | well i'm on dsl so that isnt a problem | 01:29 |

| BajonBCN | and all the people I've recommended Ubuntu to found it great to switch to Linux | 01:46 |
| Neil3 | i would like to use totem are there any issues with it? | 01:46 |
| neyz | best part is that, i tried to reinstall debian over ubuntu, guess what the installer couldn't even detect my network card | 01:47 |

| pdaoust | lithi_: that's why it's not always enough to RTFA or STFW... you need real people to go through things with... that's how we're made; that's how we work best | 01:54 |

| bob2 | probably because they Depend on something now | 01:55 |
| Gmike | bebek, it means APT won't upgrade these packages due to some reason (probably the new version will conflict with another package) | 01:55 |
| neyz | to see if anything has changed | 01:55 |
| bob2 | try 'dist-upgrade' | 01:55 |

| lithi_ | I must say I like this x-chat over mirc now that i got used to it | 01:56 |
| pdaoust | bebek: they're spelled different | 01:56 |

| pdaoust | HA! I'm so funny I should be banned from the list | 01:57 |
| pdaoust | sorry | 01:57 |
| Gmike | :O) | 01:57 |
| pdaoust | bebek: and after all that, I don't even have a real answer | 01:57 |
| bebek | hehe | 01:57 |
| jdub | bebek: dist-upgrade will happily do dangerous things (add or remove packages) to perform an upgrade | 01:57 |
| bob2 | bebek: the manpage explains it | 01:57 |
| bebek | holy cihuahua | 01:57 |
| jdub | bebek: best to stick to upgrade most of the time | 01:57 |
| esher | are there any alternative (better) gnome file-explorer outhere as the standard gnome filebrowser | 01:57 |
| esher | ? | 01:57 |
| Gmike | bebek i can try to answer that, but 'man apt-get' will do a much better job | 01:57 |
| bob2 | but dist-upgrade will add or unsinstall packages needed to upgrade other ones | 01:57 |
| bebek | should have known that before performing it | 01:57 |
| lithi_ | bebek: LOL | 01:57 |
| neyz | doing the dist-upgrade, need to download 232 megs again lol | 01:58 |
| bob2 | bebek: well, apt does show you it's plan before letting you say yay or nay | 01:58 |
| bob2 | just watch carefully what it wants to do | 01:58 |
| Gmike | *evil grin* | 01:58 |
| hybrid | if the connection times out on a few packages on dist-upgrade can i still go on? | 01:58 |
| lithi_ | neyz: My dist-upgrade is still going | 01:58 |
| shingokii | 232? I had to get 424 | 01:58 |
| hybrid | or will i have to do it again | 01:58 |
| Gmike | lol | 01:58 |
| lithi_ | neyz: And it finished downloading a long time ago | 01:58 |
| bob2 | hybrid: restart and it will only get the needed ones | 01:58 |
| neyz | well i did a upgrade just beofre and needed to dl 200 at that time ^^ | 01:59 |
| hybrid | ok | 01:59 |
| hybrid | thanx bob2 | 01:59 |
| Gmike | OMG ubuntu is turning into winxp.. it starts to consume the partition... | 01:59 |

| jdub | Gmike: they should disappear, and the list should disappear in the panel | 02:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | hyperthreading is a good idea sure, however in the real world it provides very little to no improvement in most relevant tasks to the user | 02:06 |
| toresbe | and there is a significant speedup | 02:06 |

The install requires some building against kernel headers, but the linux-kernel-headers package that I have installed has headers that apply to 2.6.0-test7, not 2.6.8.1-4. Likewise, the kernel-source packages seem to be >2.6.8. Any ideas if there is something I can install via apt to right this? | 02:13 |

| ftwig | TheMuse:yes - but Ubuntu dont like it - I almost had it all working compiling from CVS but It requires some care;) | 02:29 |

| TheMuso | Managed to get 1-2 ms on that. | 02:30 |

| crimsun | dle: there is a rather convoluted method I personally use to build vmware modules, and I don't know offhand if the forum/wiki/guide has a more efficient method. Essentially you need to tell the vmware build process that -4-386 is appended to your version (kernel-package's --append-to-version). | 02:38 |

| Dreamer3 | flowerss: nothing like the wire... where is gigabit wireless, eh? | 03:38 |
| nomasteryoda | flowerss, safer | 03:38 |
| hybrid | whats happining nomasteryoda | 03:39 |
| hybrid | ? | 03:39 |
| nomasteryoda | hey | 03:39 |
| inc_ | there's a repository you can use for the non free flash which worked good on my firefox | 03:39 |
| bubba | flash player 7 for linux | 03:39 |
| mpq | you mean I have to spend money? | 03:39 |
| flowerss | If I had wireless nics I could get free broadband. There's a couple of neighbors with unsecured WAPs | 03:39 |
| hybrid | lol | 03:39 |
| Xappe | R0bNyc, I use Hoary, and it's in the repos | 03:39 |
| inc_ | it's under restricted formats.. hold on | 03:39 |
| hybrid | mpq : free != $ | 03:39 |
| hybrid | free == freedom | 03:40 |
| inc_ | http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats | 03:40 |
| mpq | wait, so non doesn't mean not? | 03:40 |
| inc_ | lol it was free for me | 03:40 |
| Xappe | hehe | 03:40 |
| hybrid | mpq ; free is all about freedom | 03:40 |
| bubba | inc any idea why pcm doesn't work but mono does this is a stero card i'm sure | 03:40 |

| metaliu | I get a bunch of those messages on bootup. does anyone know what that means? | 03:41 |
| flowerss | mpq non-free in ubuntu just means that the software is licensed in such a way that in some parts of the world you may not be legally allowed to do whatever you want with it. It's still gratis. | 03:41 |
| mpq | oh | 03:41 |
| inc_ | damn legal mumbo jumbo | 03:41 |
| hybrid | not many linux ppl like non free | 03:41 |
| hybrid | lol yea inc_ | 03:41 |
| hybrid | but free software is the best | 03:42 |
| bascule | metaliu, installing or booting? | 03:42 |
| flowerss | hybrid - only purists are hung up on non-free vs free. For me, as long as I can work I'll use it. The freedom part is just a bonus | 03:42 |
| inc_ | how can u charge for something you don't physically own... gonna charge me for remembering the words to a song ;) | 03:43 |
| metaliu | bascule, booting | 03:43 |
| metaliu | bascule, i get it for a bunch of interrupts LNKA, LNKB, LNKC ... | 03:43 |
| jesuel | muah, i really love mythtv | 03:43 |
| hybrid | flowerss : yea well i kno alot of ppl that will never use closed source | 03:43 |
| bascule | metaliu, add noacpi to you r boot options however that is done, I know lilo not grub | 03:43 |
| butt | what was that website that is for right after you install Ubuntu? I cant seem to find it | 03:43 |
| flowerss | hybrid do they have jobs? Do they work in the real world? | 03:43 |
| hybrid | ill use close source if it is some how better than its open source counter part | 03:43 |
| inc_ | butt: huh/ | 03:44 |
| hybrid | flowerss : actually yea | 03:44 |
| Dreamer3 | anyone have a THinkpad laptop and ubuntu working perfect with acpi? | 03:44 |
| thesilverhand | butt: you mean ubuntuguide.org? | 03:44 |
| flowerss | hybrid doing what? we do engineering, and the goddamn cad package that all our clients insist on is Autocad, closed source and windows only. | 03:44 |
| === Dreamer3 thinks of trying the forums. | ||
| hybrid | flowerss : idk not me talk to them. i wont step towards windoze tho too ugly and too many bad experiences | 03:45 |
| metaliu | bascule, do you think this option will make my sound card start working again? | 03:46 |
| flowerss | hybrid our company is 500 people and I'm on the IT staff, and the only one who runs Linux on my desktop. We have lots of Linux servers, however. | 03:46 |
| encryptio | like oss/esd/alsa? | 03:46 |
| encryptio | damnit | 03:46 |
| bascule | metaliu, most likely, if the interrupts are borked and that option fixes them | 03:46 |
| Chazzle | to burn a boot disc, do i need any other files than the iso? | 03:47 |
| hybrid | flowerss : yea my school just bought new computers all xp and i hate it i tried to push for linux but no1 listened | 03:47 |
| Chazzle | I am new. | 03:47 |
| metaliu | bascule, ok, i'll give it a shot... brb | 03:47 |

| shad0w1e | hey, Q: What's the easiest, (SIMPLEST), quickest way to install KDE on Ubuntu ?? | 03:47 |
| Chazzle | i am using xp's 'writable' folder...is this good enough or do i need another program? | 03:48 |
| hybrid | well we are just a lil school with a big grant and gateway gave them the best deal and they dont support linux | 03:48 |
| flowerss | shad0w1e, install ubuntu, download suse linux, format drive and install suse ;-) | 03:48 |
| shad0w1e | funny | 03:48 |
| shad0w1e | Is it really that hard? | 03:49 |
| imnes | shad0w1e: apt-get install kde works. | 03:49 |
| flowerss | kde isn't supported on ubuntu, is it? | 03:49 |
| hybrid | wtf u want kde | 03:49 |

| hybrid | smaller faster and nothing like windows | 03:49 |
| micahf | hey I have a question | 03:49 |
| inc_ | kde is cool | 03:49 |
| bascule | metaliu, you are welcome, and thank you :) | 03:49 |
| inc_ | i like fluxbox better | 03:50 |
| hybrid | too windows-like | 03:50 |
| micahf | after installing, I noticed X and gnome and stuff were missing | 03:50 |
| hybrid | never used it | 03:50 |
| shad0w1e | root@JAYS:/home/jay # apt-get install kde | 03:50 |
| shad0w1e | Reading Package Lists... Done | 03:50 |
| shad0w1e | Building Dependency Tree... Done | 03:50 |
| shad0w1e | Package kde is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 03:50 |
| shad0w1e | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 03:50 |
| shad0w1e | is only available from another source | 03:50 |
| micahf | so I started to install them manually | 03:50 |
| shad0w1e | E: Package kde has no installation candidate | 03:50 |
| shad0w1e | root@JAYS:/home/jay # | 03:50 |
| imnes | You will lose some of the nice functionality gnome gives you. Under KDE for example your drives won't auto-mount. | 03:50 |
| hybrid | could you like dual boot gui managers? | 03:50 |
| micahf | now I have half a gui installed | 03:50 |
| shad0w1e | oh flash drives... | 03:50 |
| shad0w1e | no biggie | 03:50 |
| micahf | and no xterm | 03:50 |
| flowerss | imnes who toldyou that? | 03:50 |
| HrdwrBoB | hybrid: yes | 03:50 |
| micahf | and ubuntu goes to x right away | 03:50 |
| hybrid | ok kool | 03:50 |
| shad0w1e | the apt-get didnt work | 03:50 |
| imnes | flowerss: I installed KDE on hoary last week and none of my drives / cdrom's would auto-mount. | 03:50 |
| flowerss | kde at least has a decent cd burner. | 03:51 |
| micahf | anyone got any ideas? | 03:51 |
| inc_ | who needs auto mount lol | 03:51 |
| Chazzle | i am using xp's 'writable cd folder' to burn this boot disc....Should I use something else? | 03:51 |
| imnes | hehe, hey I like gnome's nautilus burner, I burn my DVD's in it. | 03:51 |
| flowerss | imnes, no automount on ubuntu, but every other kde distro has it. | 03:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | yes | 03:51 |
| shad0w1e | yes | 03:51 |
| metaliu | bascule, hmmm, my sound card is working, but dmesg is reporting that i'm still getting those error messages on bootup | 03:51 |
| shad0w1e | burn it AS an ISO | 03:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | you should burn the iso directly | 03:51 |
| micahf | nobody has ideas? | 03:51 |
| inc_ | too much fluff.. fluxbox all the way | 03:51 |
| shad0w1e | don't put the iso onto the disk | 03:51 |
| HrdwrBoB | otherwise you will have a CD with an iso file on it | 03:51 |
| shad0w1e | you wont get anywhere | 03:51 |
| metaliu | bascule, any insight on what's happened? | 03:51 |
| dredg | automount is kinda nice actually. plug in camera/iriver/whatever and it just opens. mmm yum. | 03:51 |
| bascule | hmmm | 03:51 |
| imnes | flowerss: I know but I thought he was asking specifically about using kde on ubuntu | 03:51 |
| micahf | how do I configure the startup to not open the gui right off | 03:52 |

| === aurax [~aurax@bzq-218-44-70.cablep.bezeqint.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| micahf | yea how do I make the console default | 03:52 |
| micahf | please help | 03:52 |
| flowerss | imnes you're probably right. I like gnome better despite the few shortcomings. | 03:52 |
| dredg | apt-get remove gdm? | 03:52 |
| hybrid | could you some how haave a cd burner and like upgrade the firmware or w/e to make it burn dvd's? | 03:52 |
| imnes | hehe if you guys want KDE / Console maybe just run debian instead of ubuntu - isn't the whole idea with ubuntu to get a nice gnome based setup? | 03:52 |
| imnes | :) | 03:52 |
| micahf | but I have no terminal | 03:52 |
| shad0w1e | fo ril? | 03:52 |

| scoon | asimo, i use the installer from the site. | 04:53 |
| scoon | asimo, the down side of that is that every time i update my kernel, i need to re-run the installer | 04:54 |
| scoon | asimo, but the upside is that my video works | 04:54 |
| asimo | scoon, I ran the apt-get stuff which seemed to install ok, said I should restart X | 04:54 |
| asimo | so since I was in the prompt already I ran startx | 04:54 |
| jba | jdub, that bugzilla doesn't mention the location of the DSDT file | 04:54 |

| asimo | ubuntu doens't have a partition resizer, it only allows you to manage what you already have | 05:08 |
| asimo | if you have free space, you can partition that into a swap and a drive for "/" | 05:08 |
| asdf123 | i get a screen "format disk A, format disk B, manual partition" so I choose manual. I get some options: "config raid, helpful stuff, disk A, disk B, disk B logical partition #5, back" | 05:08 |
| asdf123 | there is no free space listed | 05:09 |
| === siimo [~siimo@siimo.user] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| asdf123 | selecting disk A, which has my free space, is where I'm prompted to trash that disk too | 05:09 |
| bubba | is there not a master volume control for ubuntu gnome? | 05:09 |
| asdf123 | i don't need to resize. I left 20GB for primary partitions | 05:09 |
| asimo | asdf123, that's FUBAR, for me it displayed all my partitions under my hda | 05:09 |
| asdf123 | i see | 05:09 |
| bubba | cause pcm-2 will change some of the volume then mono master changes the other | 05:09 |
| siimo | eye candy x.x http://tr.openmonkey.com/files/images/ubuntuubuntu.jpg | 05:10 |
| bubba | :``( | 05:10 |
| asimo | asdf123, then I just entered the partion under the drive that I wanted to install under and blah blah blah | 05:10 |

| bubba | sound works but i cna't change it | 05:53 |

| dr_willis | ubuntu guys seem to favor gnome Heh heh. | 06:13 |
| bascule | Coily, oh, not a compensation really .. :P | 06:13 |
| compmanio36 | eh, I like Ubuntu cause I don't have to deal with KDE.....think Gnome is a LOT more polished | 06:13 |
| jba | jbailey, do i need to chmod the DSDT file at all? or give it an .aml extension? | 06:13 |
| randabis | nothin' wrong with likin' gnome | 06:14 |
| randabis | I have both gnome and kde on here heh and fluxbox and xfce | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | I perfer kde myself. | 06:14 |
| randabis | I use xfce the most | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | set the wife up to use gnome. | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | tend to use WindowMaker over vnc. a lot. | 06:14 |
| HaloGray | I like xfce but haven't learned it well enough to prefer it | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | when you normally just log in and run 2 apps 90% of the time. i could make due with twm. | 06:14 |
| randabis | vino is good for vnc too | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | not seen 'vino' :P time to google. | 06:15 |
| randabis | vino is standard in gnome | 06:15 |
| randabis | you can run it in kde and others too though iirc | 06:15 |
| jbailey | jba: No, the file should be exactly /etc/mkinitrd/DSDT (This is also in the man page now). Because mkinitrd is run as root, there's no permiissions issues. | 06:15 |

| jbailey | Sorry, I don't know what you mean. | 06:17 |
| jbailey | My laptop has good dsdt support, so I tested it by pulling the file out of /proc/acpi/dsdt and having it take that exact file and use it. | 06:18 |

| regeya | seriously! most of the suckitude in kde nowadays is due to half-hearted attempts at doing things that GNOMErs had attempted first. if they'd just ignored things like rasterman's early gtk theming and stuck to making a decent interface, they'd probably have a decent system now. well, and not chasing windows's tail. it's a great desktop system, but barely usable these days (imho) | 07:21 |

| chromate | will it Just Work =) | 07:23 |
| randabis | depends on your hardware | 07:23 |
| chromate | i've had a lot of problems with binary based installs in the past, mainly because recompiling a kernel is usually a pain in the butt... i have some modules i need enabled | 07:24 |
| randabis | if you have newer stuff you might wanna try installing Hoary instead of Warty | 07:24 |
| regeya | chromate, what randabis said; remember, the same is true of anything, even off-the-shelf Windows :-) | 07:24 |
| regeya | the PC world is a godawful mess, and it's a wonder that anything works as well as it does ;-) | 07:24 |
| randabis | chromate, your modules might already be included in restricted-modules | 07:24 |
| chromate | randabis: is there a place i can look this up? | 07:24 |

| regeya | BiteMeBill, just pointing out that not even Windows works on everything out of the box...they've not had THAT sort of penetration yet... | 07:26 |
| randabis | chromate, well typically hoary isos are downloaded from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hoary | 07:26 |
| regeya | imagine if MS managed to control the hardware world to the point that new ideas never surfaced until the next major Windows release...*shudder* | 07:26 |

| mebaran151 | justdave, did it kill anything | 08:32 |
| mebaran151 | if it just configured it correctly 3 times | 08:32 |
| justdave | mebaran151: no, didn't seem to | 08:32 |

| mebaran151 | as it was running it through | 08:33 |
| mebaran151 | so that later on | 08:33 |
| mebaran151 | the new apt | 08:33 |
| mebaran151 | now fully configured and the old apt out of the way | 08:33 |
| mebaran151 | probably felt that the pkg was unconfigured | 08:33 |
| justdave | yeah, I think there was a new apt today, too. | 08:33 |
| mebaran151 | it probably shouldnt do that | 08:33 |
| mebaran151 | which is why it would do it preinstall (old apt)and after installl (new apt) | 08:34 |
| mebaran151 | seems like a problem that would be hard to fix | 08:34 |
| mebaran151 | or maybe really easy | 08:34 |
| mebaran151 | the middle one is probably just a pkg thing | 08:34 |

| calamari_ | any idea why every time I close a kde app I get a KDE window telling me there was a crash, signal 11 SIGSEGV? | 10:09 |

| An00b15 | its nice to have a working desktop in a half an hour | 10:26 |
| Dreamer3 | i just copied in Maildir from my old box... is there no way to make dovecot "wake up" and see all the folders, etc? | 10:26 |
| An00b15 | I should have stayed Warty though | 10:26 |
| Neil3 | so when i do install ubuntu i can then install linux-k7 for the athlon kernel and stuff then use synaptic to get rid of the intel stuff? | 10:26 |
| Neil3 | the i386/686 or whatever? | 10:26 |
| bob2 | Dreamer3: imap servers don't generally like raw maildir | 10:26 |
| thesilverhand | An00b15: why? | 10:26 |
| bob2 | Neil3: yeah | 10:27 |
| Neil3 | or is there a way when you install to get it to use the k7 kernel straight away? | 10:27 |

| bob2 | some particular things might be | 10:27 |
| bob2 | which I assume you have filed bugs on? | 10:27 |
| thesilverhand | An00b15, I haven't had any trouble | 10:28 |
| An00b15 | looks pretty though | 10:28 |
| An00b15 | runs fast | 10:28 |
| thesilverhand | it has bugs, yeah...it's still growing | 10:28 |
| Dreamer3 | bob2: yeah, but it'd be a lot faster than dragging all these already organized things into imap (and no copying disk space) | 10:28 |
| An00b15 | does your firefox crash? | 10:28 |
| bob2 | no | 10:28 |
| thesilverhand | nope...if yours does, file a bug | 10:28 |
| bob2 | (if no one else has filed it) | 10:28 |
| thesilverhand | well yeah :) | 10:29 |
| An00b15 | I'm not being negative | 10:29 |

| bob2 | including at least thesilverhand and I | 10:30 |
| An00b15 | what do i look like filing a bug from a system they know is unstable? | 10:30 |
| thesilverhand | that's how they identify issues that need resolving | 10:31 |
| An00b15 | and you don't just file "bugs" | 10:31 |
| mjt | btw, is there a way to "forward" $LANG over ssh connection? | 10:31 |
| stvn | An00b15: because it's stable for a lot of ppl, so if it's unstable for you, something is probably wrong and needs to be fixed | 10:31 |

| bob2 | mjt: yes | 10:32 |
| An00b15 | and the other mozilla based browesrs crashed | 10:32 |
| An00b15 | but dillo does not | 10:32 |
| bob2 | mjt: man ssh, look for .ssh/environment | 10:32 |
| pvh | It looks like I'm missing a Python module to track my PC's stats with GDesklets. Can anyone help me? | 10:32 |
| bob2 | An00b15: there you go, that's useful information for your bug report | 10:33 |
| Zotnix | Hey, I'm using glade2 here and I notice it can save with C, C++, or ada support.. anyway I can get Python support as well in there? | 10:33 |
| An00b15 | even the sefl installer from mozilla for firefox crashed | 10:33 |
| mjr | Zot, use pyglade | 10:33 |
| An00b15 | its hit and miss | 10:33 |
| An00b15 | video seems to kill it | 10:33 |
| An00b15 | I think the mplayer plug is screwy | 10:34 |
| bob2 | Zotnix: those are dodgy options to generate code (ie a .c file which builds the UI) | 10:34 |
| thesilverhand | even more info for the bug :) | 10:34 |
| An00b15 | the mplayer plugin loads the video but then never finishes | 10:34 |
| mjr | it loads the gui from the glade file on the fly | 10:34 |
| An00b15 | I thought it was video related | 10:34 |
| scizzo_ | An00b15: try to see if you get any errors in the terminal | 10:34 |
| bob2 | Zotnix: it's considered waaaaaaaaaay better to just load the .xml file at runtime with libglade, which python can do using the modules in python-glade | 10:34 |
| An00b15 | but then I tried ot go to my bank online | 10:34 |
| An00b15 | and it kept crashing after I logged in | 10:34 |
| mjt | bob2: this allows to *set* *any* variable in ~/.ssh/environment (not safe). I want to *forward* just $LANG, pretty like it forwards $TERM. | 10:34 |
| An00b15 | like it was choking on https | 10:34 |
| Zotnix | bob2, what I'm currently able to do, however, I'm learning and would rather see the code. | 10:35 |
| bob2 | mjt: yes, that's not possible afaik | 10:35 |
| bob2 | mjt: kamion would know for sure | 10:35 |
| bob2 | Zotnix: hm, why? so you can learn python gtk programming? | 10:35 |
| mjt | i see $TERM is handled in source, while $LANG isn't | 10:35 |
| An00b15 | there | 10:35 |
| Dreamer3 | bob2: copying over the maildir worked FINE, just had to go and subscribe to all the folders :) | 10:35 |
| bob2 | mjt: right | 10:35 |
| An00b15 | logged into the bank and it crashed | 10:35 |
| Zotnix | bob2, yep. | 10:35 |

| bob2 | you don't need to | 11:48 |
| wm_eddie | I bet wget got smart on us and renamed the remote one. | 11:48 |
| christianp | what's the package i need to run alsaconf? | 11:48 |
| Guybrush|Numb | my bet, eddie | 11:48 |
| mjt | wm_eddie: it doesn't do such weird things | 11:48 |

| Guybrush|Numb | anybody noticed slow dns lookups when IPV6 is active (default) ? | 11:51 |
| randabis-laptop | yes | 11:51 |
| randabis-laptop | it sucks | 11:51 |
| mjt | selinium_: for pastes, use #flood or http://pastebin.com | 11:51 |

| christianp | Guybrush|Numb, what's the right package for alsaconf? | 11:52 |
| Guybrush|Numb | randabis-laptop, did you refer to me ? | 11:52 |
| mjt | christianp: alsa-utils | 11:52 |
| Guybrush|Numb | dunno, search on http://packages.debian.org | 11:52 |
| Guybrush|Numb | try helping yourself | 11:52 |
| Guybrush|Numb | :) works best | 11:53 |
| bob2 | I really doubt alsaconf will help at all | 11:53 |
| bloggs | Guybrush - If you don't already know (you probably do though) there's a way to disable IPV6 in the http://ubuntuguide.org/index.html | 11:53 |

| mjt | bloggs: i haven't looked at the wiki page you talked about above, but i *guess* it's about setting an alias for ipv6 module... But still, every app out there will still try to lookup AAAA DNS records (for IPv6) before asking for A records (IPv4) - there's no way to disable that i think. | 11:56 |

| besan_pas | how to install array 4, is it better to install warthy, then upgrade or clear install array4 ? | 12:20 |
| kzm | Yes, they do. POSIX defines the gettimeofday to return the result of a formula involving the current UTC time | 12:20 |
| chrissturm | besan: if you have an array4 cd just install from it | 12:20 |
| bob2 | that's sick | 12:21 |
| kzm | So Linux slows down the clock during a leap second....it's a mess :-) | 12:21 |
| Guybrush|Numb | chrissturm, enlighten me, wtf is array3/4 ? | 12:21 |
| besan_pas | ok thanks | 12:21 |
| chrissturm | guybrush: its the test install cds for hoary. look into the channel topic | 12:21 |

| (b_e_n_z/#ubuntu) did you guys use acpi=noirq in the boot kernel options? | 01:27 | |
| (TreadingSoftly/#ubuntu) b_e_n_z: i know the ipw2100 site says that, but remember that firmware should be just an update to information stored on the network card ... it shouldn't need to continually reside on your system. In any case, I never had to fiddle with firmware to get it working. If you need it though, can't you download it from the ipw2100 site? | 01:27 | |
| (souki/#ubuntu) no more sound since upgrade kernel 2.6.8.1 -> 2.6.10 (intel8x0). any idea? | 01:28 | |

| Xappe | i used the warty guide actually | 03:27 |
| neyz | you know when you do the fglrxconfig, what are you supposed to say to the gart module question ? use external ? | 03:27 |
| blah09 | hi does anyone know where apt stores its temp files? | 03:27 |
| neyz | cuz i have added the fglrx module to /etc/modules and changed the device "ati" to fglrx in my xorg.conf and i get this error at boot : Feb 10 15:14:31 localhost kernel: Trying to register duplicated ioctl32 handler c0246400 | 03:28 |

| jhh | jnk, i viewed a video from terminal and when i clicked the window, it says 'No bind found for key MOUSE_BTN2' | 04:20 |
| HaloGray | as much as the tech support with Dell sucked, and having a new product break within 2 weeks. I've really got to hand it to them on their turn around time | 04:20 |

| HaloGray | It's just that it isn't in Windows, and I'm wondering if it's just a Windows issue or if the netmon isn't reported accurately | 04:48 |
| jnk | /kick _Syzygy_ used the forbidden word "debian" | 04:48 |

| _Syzygy_ | that would be cool jnk :D | 04:49 |
| stuNNed | Poyayan: i've fired it up once, shortly. | 04:49 |
| HaloGray | _Syzygy_: Probably because they know that Ubuntu has its own support channel | 04:49 |

| HaloGray | I'm running hoary... what's the test report all about? | 04:50 |
| jnk | _Syzygy_, maybe some DD's are angry to see work going on in ubuntu when debian has been stuck for months in the release freezer | 04:50 |
| _Syzygy_ | yeah but it's been almost violent! they've said: "run while you can...if you use ubuntu, don't tell us" | 04:50 |
| HaloGray | XD | 04:50 |
| _Syzygy_ | jnk that makes more sense | 04:50 |
| tenco | HaloGray, i tested the live CD | 04:50 |
| manobes | _Syzygy_: #debian can be snarly | 04:50 |
| ewhitten_ | tritium: looking at the contact_lookup_applet --> Applet is broken with gnome-panel 2.9.x. The entry widget is no longer given focus on click so its impossible to perform a search. Kevin: known problem and the patch is simple, but I've not got a G2.9 build to test it against at the moment. Soon I promise. | 04:51 |
| HaloGray | angry linux geeks can be a fierce bunch | 04:51 |
| HaloGray | just ask the SCO | 04:51 |

| tritium | _Syzygy_, was your question ubuntu-specific? | 04:51 |
| _Syzygy_ | well | 04:51 |
| _Syzygy_ | it was about making xsane work as a normal user | 04:51 |
| blah09 | whats this about gtk smooth and industrial engines? | 04:51 |

| imi | i'm planning to run ubuntu on an ibm t23 800mhz/256mb ram. what should i expect performance-wise? | 05:14 |
| tritium | meuserj|work, you're in Indy right now? | 05:14 |
| manobes | imi: It'll run... but it might be a bit slow | 05:14 |
| meuserj|work | tritium, yeah | 05:14 |
| manobes | Not unusably slow though | 05:15 |
| jnk | imi, try adding some ram if you can | 05:15 |
| jnk | that will make the difference IMHO | 05:15 |
| === manobes seconds jnk | ||
| imi | manobes, what's more important, cpu or ram? cause ubuntu runs nice on my athlon xp 1400mhz with the same amount of ram | 05:15 |
| tritium | meuserj|work, have you ever been to progeny? | 05:15 |
| manobes | imi: I've found ram to be more important. But cpu does matter. | 05:16 |
| tritium | imi, I agree | 05:16 |
| jnk | I guess disk performance alsa has its say with gnome... | 05:16 |
| jnk | also | 05:16 |
| manobes | imi: You'll probably be fine with 800 Mhz... it might seem a bit "choppy" is all. | 05:17 |
| manobes | Don't run openoffice :) | 05:17 |
| meuserj|work | tritium, no, but I've thought about checking them out sometime.. I met Ian at the thing PLUG had a while back at Jakes. | 05:17 |

| imi | i've just bought that thinkpad on ebay, and the toss is between gentoo (no flames, please) and ubuntu. i know both distros pretty well, the only question is the performance (and if it's worth to compile the whole system... OOo takes 1-2 days) | 05:18 |
| tritium | Well, I'm off to lunch... | 05:19 |
| HaloGray | I had a thinkpad and gentoo... compiling kde caused a kernel panick on it | 05:19 |
| HaloGray | I probably botched the kernel compile though... I was new to gentoo | 05:19 |
| ewhitten_ | phillix: re gmailfs stuff, it looks like you need the fuse kernel module to get mounting of gmail stuff to work. Not quite sure how to do that yet, but I'm looking | 05:20 |

| mikeycooper | scouselad: if just as a backup, why not use a ubuntu livecd? | 06:04 |
| shock | blagh @ mirc | 06:04 |
| shock | have you tried xchat? | 06:04 |
| blah09 | xchat is slick | 06:04 |
| Schaap | yes | 06:04 |
| Schaap | its | 06:04 |
| Schaap | well | 06:04 |
| Schaap | its no mirc | 06:04 |
| shock | no - its quite nicer, i think | 06:04 |
| scouselad | mikeycooper: well the knoppix one is very slow, takes about 10 mins to boot, then to load any app takes a couple of mins, and you can't install extra stuff, i want to mess around with it a bit in my spare time! | 06:04 |
| blah09 | scouselad give slax a try | 06:05 |
| Schaap | i miss the aliases | 06:05 |
| Schaap | the options | 06:05 |
| blah09 | my personal favourite livecd | 06:05 |
| shock | schaap ? | 06:05 |
| Schaap | like /s -m blablabla | 06:05 |
| shock | say what? | 06:05 |
| shock | lol | 06:05 |
| AlphaXero | i think ubuntu needs a more less instant way to get dvd's playing | 06:05 |
| shock | try this: | 06:05 |
| Schaap | xchat just acts stupid | 06:05 |
| blah09 | alpha its not that hard | 06:05 |
| shock | start xchat - do preferences->lists->user commands | 06:05 |
| scouselad | blah09: is it better than knoppix? | 06:05 |
| blah09 | www.ubuntuguide.org has a guide | 06:05 |
| shock | and of you write =) | 06:05 |
| blah09 | yeah its faster, i dont like knoppix | 06:06 |
| HaloGray | I like xchat over mirc as well, but anything can not seem as good if you're used to one particular program. | 06:06 |
| blah09 | kanotix got good reviews in a local mag, but its probably just as bloated | 06:06 |
| Schaap | including the -m ? | 06:06 |
| AlphaXero | i like xchat | 06:06 |
| Schaap | and then the leck of good bittorrent apps | 06:06 |

| blah09 | azureus? | 06:06 |

| njan | Schaap, yes, it's coded in java, what's your point? | 06:07 |
| blah09 | ABC has a linux version doesnt it | 06:07 |
| njan | :) | 06:07 |
| blah09 | lol | 06:07 |
| AlphaXero | yeah i compiled mPlayer for dvd playback but there should be something in Synaptic or apt for instant gratification | 06:07 |
| Schaap | recource | 06:07 |
| apokryphos | What reasonable alternatives are there to Azureus? | 06:07 |
| njan | apokryphos, theshadow's bittorrent client | 06:07 |
| Schaap | see, ubuntu only has azu | 06:07 |
| Agrajag | AlphaXero: it takes maybe 5 seconds to enable universe | 06:08 |
| Schaap | im not saying its a bad bt client | 06:08 |

| bzbb | if I try anything that lists processes, it hangs | 06:10 |
| bzbb | killall does too | 06:10 |
| njan | bzbb, anything else? | 06:10 |
| bzbb | firefox doesn't work | 06:10 |
| bzbb | if I run ps, for example, it hangs, and ctrl-c won't kill it | 06:11 |
| njan | well, I suppose if someone'd installed a rootkit badly, they could have replaced those commands with versions that hung. But firefox wouldn't hang. I'd bear rooting in mind, but if those are the only symptoms, I'd probably consider a fucked install/machine to be slightly more likely. | 06:11 |
| njan | I'd still do a clean reinstall with trusted media though. | 06:11 |
| njan | and analyse the drive offline/in a chroot. | 06:11 |

| bzbb | I think they firefox problem maybe be unrelated | 06:12 |
| bzbb | I just can't diagnose it without any tools | 06:12 |

| theine | Josip: without the live-cd... | 07:22 |

| floater | in RH9 install cd you can install a bootloader from the RH9 CD and then just quit your OS install... simply just act like if you were installing a new OS and then quit after it installed the new MBR | 07:23 |
| floater | well.. I am unsure, I might try that, but I suggest you ask more info from someone who knows better | 07:24 |
| Josip | and when I try to grub-install /dev/hda from the live cd I get this <Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.> | 07:24 |

| ewhitten | SirFred: I don't believe there's anything quite like amarok on gnome. but you could probably a) keep running amarok, or b) try muine or rhythmbox, which are both also nice | 08:46 |
| SirFred | ewhitten: I've seen a screenshot of muine and liked it. | 08:47 |
| chromate | kirt: sorry i must not have been very clear; i meant editting whether or not it is started upon boot, not configuring the process itself | 08:47 |
| SirFred | ewhitten: But when I fired apt-get install, I saw that it's modo based. | 08:47 |

| kirt | chromate, Like, if you want something to startup - make a link from the appropriate script in /etc/init.d to /etc/rc2.d/ | 08:48 |
| chromate | kirt: does the name given to the link matter? | 08:49 |
| kirt | chromate, It's kinda complicated, they have to have correct names, like the other ones in the directory | 08:49 |
| SirFred | chromate: init process call the scripts on the /etc/rc.<runlevel> starting with 'S' when entering that runlevel | 08:49 |
| ewhitten | steve_: will what work, specifically? which app are you talking about? | 08:49 |
| steve_ | sorry, rythmbox with mp4s | 08:49 |
| SirFred | chromate: It calls them with the option "start" | 08:49 |
| chromate | SirFred, kirt: so all that matters is that it starts with S? because i see more than one number following | 08:49 |
| ewhitten | steve_: it will support playback of anything that gstreamer can play | 08:50 |
| SirFred | chromate: The numbers are to force an order. | 08:50 |
| kirt | chromate, The number is the order that they start | 08:50 |
| SirFred | chromate: init process call the scripts on the /etc/rc.<runlevel> starting with 'S' in alphabetical order, when entering that runlevel | 08:50 |
| steve_ | okay, cool | 08:50 |
| chromate | SirFred, kirt: ah... that is pretty nifty. | 08:50 |
| steve_ | I am trying to import the songs | 08:50 |
| SirFred | chromate: So, S01ppp is called before S99shut | 08:50 |

| aardvark | comcor, what behaviour are you experiencing with gnome ? | 10:28 |
| apokryphos | jason_: Erm, thanks. I don't think you meant me. ;) | 10:28 |
| comcor | aardvark, broken dependencies | 10:28 |

| aardvark | I dont have that... | 10:28 |
| jason_ | apokryphos: you could consider a 3rd patition of fat 32 to share data between os | 10:28 |

| jelte | cool, ta... bit stuck with parted at the moment though... doesn't seem to want to make my partition | 10:30 |

| [dEvIL-bOy] | is it normal if i format the partition that has windows xp not to have access to the partition that i ha ubuntu !??? | 10:33 |
| jelte | jason_, yep... but first i need to sort out my /home partition... last time i moved it (which i'm going to have to do) gconf got pretty upset... need to read up on that thing to understand it better | 10:33 |
| jason_ | jelte: I would personally use a gentoo minimal cd | 10:33 |
| jelte | jason_, why not the ubuntu cd? or knoppix (since i have those lying around) | 10:33 |
| Anubis | I have no /etc/modules.d/nvidia file either? | 10:33 |
| jason_ | jelte: personally, and the gentoo install handbook explains those things | 10:34 |

| jason_ | jelte: im sure you could do it with knopix | 10:35 |
