| thoreauputic | if there's a problem, you do sudo chown cryan:cryan /home/cryan/mp3 | 12:10 |
| thoreauputic | that will ensure the dir belongs to you | 12:11 |

| pauldaoust | I've had that problem a lot, and i know I can delete the 'lock' file in my ~/.mozilla/firefox/default directory... but even that's not working anymore. | 01:35 |
| FR500 | there are no linux drivers for my wifi card, still worked out of the box | 01:36 |
| FR500 | now it doesnt work | 01:36 |
| pauldaoust | sooooo... nobody with this problem? | 01:37 |
| fsc | FR500, hmm.. I don't know how ndiswrapper could work out of the box because you need the windows *.inf and *.sys driver binaries | 01:37 |
| moquist | pauldaoust: I don't use Gnome, so I don't click on anything. Sorry. :| | 01:37 |
| FR500 | u didnt get me, i don't know how is that it works | 01:37 |
| pauldaoust | moquist: serious? | 01:37 |
| pauldaoust | wow | 01:37 |
| pauldaoust | what do you do then? | 01:37 |

| pauldaoust | moquist: too true | 01:39 |
| FR500 | i added suspend to disk support and it broke | 01:39 |
| fsc | pauldaoust, you don't have to run gnome to run ubuntu. i was thinking about trying out E17 cvs for the helluva it | 01:39 |

| Benbis | I have the shipit CD | 02:42 |
| Slask3n | it just seems a little bit weird for me.. it reminds me a little of M$ IE, never gets upgraded more than an absolutely minimum | 02:42 |
| holycow | kapputu, i've been on debian for a year and a half | 02:42 |
| bob2 | Slask3n: dude | 02:42 |
| holycow | i ain't movin either :) its a good corner of the os world to be in | 02:42 |
| qlo-xael | bob2: its a long story, i need wlan-ng drivers to use my wireless device, but i need kernel source files to use the drivers | 02:42 |
| Benbis | It starts off ok, but is unable to mount CD | 02:42 |
| kapputu | I don't like Fedora half as much now | 02:42 |
| bob2 | Slask3n: it gets completely updated every 6 months | 02:42 |
| shadeofgrey | okay i opened the repository list all i see is "CD Ubuntu 5.04 Hoary (Binary)" | 02:42 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: no, you don't | 02:42 |
| ompaul | slask3n you can adapt the release any way you like (open source) however peeps who support a release only support that release as configured (there is not the time or energy to look after each and every individual [unless you hire a sys admin for yourself] but if you want the ubuntu world you stick to what it releases if you want debian unstable this is not the right channel | 02:42 |
| shadeofgrey | how do i enable universe ? | 02:42 |
| thoreauputic | Slask3n: if you'd been here any length of time, you'd realise hoary is constantly changing | 02:42 |
| kapputu | though I would like to get a snappy looking KDE distro on my desktop | 02:42 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: you need the kernel headers, not the source | 02:42 |
| kapputu | but I'm not changing Ubuntu on my laptop | 02:43 |
| fsc | Slask3n, if you want to be on the bleeding edge then when 11.04 comes to the repositories you just switch to that | 02:43 |
| shadeofgrey | the learning curve for linux is steep compared to windows | 02:43 |
| CarlK | what is the lightest WM that has icons to launch apps? | 02:43 |
| kapputu | shadeofgrey: that depends | 02:43 |
| holycow | shadeofgrey, not really | 02:43 |
| ompaul | shadeofgrey, how so? | 02:43 |
| qlo-xael | bob2: i appreciate where you are trying to take me with this, but the kernel is already compiled and installed, i just havent created a ramdisk init and thats what i need to know how to do | 02:43 |
| holycow | windows users expect linux to work like windows, thats the real problem | 02:43 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: because you haven't read the wiki or the FAQ, have you? | 02:43 |
| kapputu | also once you get an idea of the system, you can practically do anything | 02:43 |
| holycow | also windows users have 15 years of training on windows | 02:44 |
| === salti [~salti@fl-67-77-164-57.dyn.sprint-hsd.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| kapputu | with Windows your IQ drops | 02:44 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: creating an initrd is annoying and unnessecary. if you insist on building your own kernel, compile the basic stuff into it so you don't need an initrd at all | 02:44 |
| shadeofgrey | no, your right i havent | 02:44 |
| holycow | most are just now trying linux and expecting that 15 years of training can be replaced in one day | 02:44 |
| Benbis | Well, I had some ms-dos training before too :) | 02:44 |
| shadeofgrey | but its HARD to read really complicated stuff with NO TUNES | 02:44 |
| CarlK | I plan on hooking up a touch screen so that I don't have to use the moose and keyboard, and the hope is to have a big icon that you can stick your thumb on | 02:44 |

| ompaul | Benbis ohh come on CP/M | 02:44 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: this is open source - you read you learn and then you contribute | 02:44 |
| Ex-Cyber | I think the main thing is that less-experienced Windows users tend to have someone physically at hand at some point that they can bug to fix their problems for them | 02:45 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: that's how it works | 02:45 |
| Benbis | But that still doesn't give me a clue why I get an unable to mount cd message | 02:45 |
| holycow | what thoreauputic said, don't expect marketing or someone kissing your ass and handholding | 02:45 |
| qlo-xael | bob2: thats what i thought i did but for some reason when it looks for things like psmouse and lp at the beginning of the boot screen, it fails | 02:45 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: the --initrd option to make-kpkg for what you want | 02:45 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: that's not a fatal error | 02:45 |
| bob2 | Benbis: the live cd? | 02:45 |
| Benbis | No, the install cd | 02:45 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: you might recall we spent *some* time helping you a while ago | 02:45 |
| shadeofgrey | look. its 2005 -- if an operating system cant handle .mp3 files straight out of the gate that operating system is doomed to reside in places like this | 02:45 |
| qlo-xael | bob2: no its not fatal, but i can't use my mouse for example, no X | 02:46 |
| holycow | actually no | 02:46 |
| bob2 | shadeofgrey: well, we're sorry to see you go | 02:46 |
| holycow | you don't understand the issues behind .mp3 | 02:46 |
| bob2 | shadeofgrey: you might want to one day actually look into why this is the case, tho | 02:46 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: complain to the companies that made the formats unfree | 02:46 |
| holycow | mp3 is a patented codec | 02:46 |
| Benbis | I said I was a newbie, not that I was totally dense :) | 02:46 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: then you need to load the modules yourself later | 02:46 |
| holycow | you cannot legally sell a player for it wiithout paying royalties to the mp3 consortium | 02:46 |
| Buff | shadeofgrey: thats a legal problem. the codec is patented | 02:46 |
| bob2 | holycow: no | 02:46 |
| qlo-xael | bob2: so from /usr/src/linux, make make-kpkg --initrd ?? | 02:46 |
| holycow | you also cannot give an mp3 player away for free | 02:46 |
| bob2 | holycow: you can't distribute it, either | 02:46 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: no | 02:46 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: you need more options than that | 02:46 |
| holycow | like i said | 02:46 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: frankly, you are now coming across as ignorant and uninformed | 02:46 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: and a working .config | 02:47 |
| shadeofgrey | then how is winamp free? | 02:47 |
| qlo-xael | i have a working config | 02:47 |
| === whaq [~whaq@203.130.197.106] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| HrdwrBoB | shadeofgrey: they have paid | 02:47 |
| HrdwrBoB | and organised a license | 02:47 |
| holycow | right | 02:47 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: free as in free speeh - not gratis | 02:47 |
| shadeofgrey | with what? their player is free! | 02:47 |
| ompaul | shadeofgrey, you could of course buy up all the companies that own the mp3 stuff and force them to release it for free or you could say to hell with that and get with the progam - ogg or some such | 02:47 |
| qlo-xael | bob2: or by these errors, do i not have a working config? | 02:47 |
| thoreauputic | no it's "unfree" | 02:47 |
| HrdwrBoB | shadeofgrey: I don't know if you've noticed, but AOL own winamp | 02:47 |
| holycow | shadeofgrey, they are owned by aol | 02:47 |
| HrdwrBoB | shadeofgrey: and AOL have lots of money | 02:47 |
| holycow | aol is a 100 billion dollar company | 02:48 |
| shadeofgrey | okay | 02:48 |
| bob2 | chill a bit, folks | 02:48 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: go and read richard stallman's web site and debian.org | 02:48 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: I don't know, I can't see your errors | 02:48 |
| holycow | you need a licence from the mp3 consortium to even give away an mp3 player | 02:48 |
| Benbis | Okies, from the Ubuntu site, it gives this channel as a support one, is there another? | 02:48 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: but this is why I was hinting that buliding your own kernel is a bad idea... | 02:48 |
| bob2 | Benbis: ask on the mailing list | 02:48 |
| bob2 | Benbis: if it's a new machine, it's probably an apic issue | 02:48 |
| holycow | shadeofgrey, also linux is not 'competing' | 02:49 |
| shadeofgrey | exactly | 02:49 |
| qlo-xael | bob2: is there a way to pause the bootup? | 02:49 |
| shadeofgrey | THATS the problem | 02:49 |
| holycow | frankly at the end of the day no one gives a crap if a windows user switches | 02:49 |
| Benbis | It's a P4 if that's what you mean | 02:49 |
| holycow | acutally its not | 02:49 |
| holycow | its YOUR problem | 02:49 |
| bob2 | qlo-xael: scroll lock. | 02:49 |
| bob2 | holycow: stop it | 02:49 |

| bob2 | shadeofgrey: you'd install it from ubuntu, same as you install gstreamer0.8-mad | 03:04 |
| bob2 | shadeofgrey: I'm almost certain the problem is that you didn't follow all the steps on the page I gave you, tho | 03:05 |
| bob2 | Vjaz: rhythmbox has lots of bugs, unfortunately | 03:05 |
| peloy | anyone knows the user ID need to use a LiveCD? | 03:05 |
| bob2 | Benbis: that won't help you install | 03:05 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: but if universe isn't enabled, you will have problems - I also enabled multiverse | 03:05 |
| shadeofgrey | okay hold on | 03:05 |

| FR500 | ok i sorted out everything, now only thing i lack is fn keys support | 03:07 |
| Vjaz | hawke, It seems like I can repeatedly crash Rhythmbox by doing this. | 03:07 |

| aroman | hello people | 03:07 |
| Benbis | The disk - if I trust the device manager (I can go look on manufacturer site for better details) is 80 Gig IDE, SATA | 03:07 |
| === Buff [~stephen@stuE35E.kent.ac.uk] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| ompaul | benbis - your arrangement for sanitys sake should really be ide0 drive one [set to master] - some other operating system, drive two [set to slave] for ubuntu ide 1 cdrom/dvd set to master - and something set as slave | 03:07 |
| Vjaz | bob2, It does have a lot of bugs, but it will *continue* to have a lot of bugs if people don't report bugs like this, which is why I want to know if other people experience the same bug. | 03:08 |

| aroman | I just installed ubuntu (had gentoo before) and I am trying to copy files over from a fat32 partition onto my /home/ folder (on a reiserfs partition). The copying process is extremely slow. I checked the drive parameters with hdparm /dev/hda and /dev/hdb and they seem to be running with dma on. Any ideas how to increase my file transfer rate? Thank you. | 03:08 |
| Vjaz | Luckily I have a dual boot to Hoary so I can try the new version there. ;-P | 03:09 |
| ompaul | benbis so if you leave all the drives in and you tell the bios to boot from CDROM what happens next? | 03:09 |
| aroman | ompaul, if you insert a bootable cd, the BIOS will boot from that cd | 03:09 |
| bob2 | aroman: 32-bit transfer might help if your chipset supports it | 03:09 |
| Benbis | Been 2 weeks since I tried that one. :) Back in 2 min after I try again. | 03:10 |
| bob2 | (ie -c2) | 03:10 |
| aroman | bob2 do I just do something like... hdparm -c2 /dev/hda and then /dev/hdb? | 03:10 |
| bob2 | if it's safe, yes | 03:10 |
| shadeofgrey | okay look | 03:10 |
| ompaul | aroman, that is usual however benbis was complaining that there were issues I want to try to identify exactly what issue is there | 03:10 |
| shadeofgrey | ive read the stuff you asked meto | 03:10 |
| shadeofgrey | im on the "how to access the universe repository" page - i followed the directions exactly and nothing happened the way it was suppoosed to | 03:11 |
| fsc | "supposed to"? | 03:11 |
| fsc | are you using synaptic? | 03:11 |
| aroman | bob2, ok... I did a -c2. It still is slow :( | 03:12 |
| aroman | bob2, would the changes be instant? | 03:12 |
| bob2 | yeah | 03:12 |
| bob2 | no idea then | 03:12 |
| === sigglet [~sig@208.187.169.233] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| aroman | a hdparm -t /dev/hdb shows me: Timing buffered disk reads: 148 MB in 3.01 seconds = 49.16 MB/sec | 03:14 |
| aroman | like.. that's fast enough to copy files... :/ | 03:14 |
| bob2 | hdparm's benchmarking is useless | 03:15 |
| bob2 | ignore it | 03:15 |
| aroman | really | 03:15 |
| aroman | ok | 03:15 |
| aroman | another question then | 03:15 |
| aroman | how can I make cp skip the .something directories when copying? | 03:15 |
| bob2 | cp /blah/* /bleh/ | 03:15 |
| === Benbis [~chatzilla@modemcable231.187-201-24.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Benbis | Same as when I only have the new HD in. Unable to detect common CD-ROM drive. | 03:16 |
| ompaul | aroman, or you could do cp -R /somepath/whereever/* . | 03:16 |
| aroman | ompaul, that is what I did.. I also added -v | 03:17 |
| aroman | it seems to be fast now o_O | 03:17 |
| aroman | yet under nautilus it was DEAD slow | 03:17 |
| aroman | hmm | 03:17 |
| shadeofgrey | arg! | 03:17 |
| shadeofgrey | i hate being a newbie | 03:17 |
| aroman | lol... it's ok shadeofgrey | 03:17 |
| bob2 | the first step is to stop using the word "newbie" | 03:18 |
| ogra | yeah | 03:18 |
| shadeofgrey | well its hard man. i know how to do ALL this stuff in windows. i could be WORKING right now and instead im fighting my computeer over music files | 03:18 |
| aroman | I'm new to ubuntu... is there a way to increase screen resolution without editing XF86Config-4 (which I'm ok with)? | 03:18 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: you're learning a new operating system - I guess that takes a bit of time and effort | 03:19 |
| shadeofgrey | it took me three days to learn windows | 03:19 |
| aroman | shadeofgrey, but, then again, I had to reboot windows twice a day... | 03:20 |
| Benbis | It does get irritating when you can build a computer from scratch just fine, but can't even install an OS... | 03:20 |
| ompaul | benbis is that the accurate error message - not words like it ? | 03:20 |
| aroman | shadeofgrey, my gentoo box (this one, before tonight) was up and running like.. 24-7 for weeks | 03:20 |
| Zotnix | shadeofgrey, oddly enough, you can thank MS and big companies like it for making it hard to get MP3 support on Linux ;) | 03:20 |

| robertj | Zotnix: no, actually you can thank all your numbscull IRC users for pirating mp3s an a licensed format | 03:21 |
| Benbis | Yes it is Ompaul. Initially, it says unable to find common CD-Rom drive, then if I continue, trying all the drivers offered to be selected manually, I get the unable to mount message | 03:21 |
| karlos | aroman: >computer > system configuration > screen res... | 03:21 |
| shadeofgrey | okay so if i get the debian binarys for xmms they should install right | 03:21 |
| bob2 | shadeofgrey: dude | 03:21 |
| TongMaster | Anyone know of any problems with warty 686 kernels not automount CD's? | 03:21 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: well, it's a question of whether you want to discover the power of linux, or just use something friendly: I guess a ma would be easier,, but I find os-x is just as hard when you dig a bit deeper | 03:21 |
| bob2 | shadeofgrey: no | 03:21 |
| aroman | karlos, no, that gives me up to 1024x768.. I want more, and to change the refresh rate | 03:21 |
| robertj | thoreauputic: haha, I wish it was, it's bad | 03:21 |

| thoreauputic | robertj: agreed - it's bsd underneath, but it's well hidden | 03:24 |
| shadeofgrey | bob2: the info on the wiki is just like every other linux doc attempt. its not thorough, and makes too many assumptions | 03:24 |
| robertj | which would be just great if the preference lists in ~/Library/blah defaulted back to /Library/blah | 03:24 |

| nix000 | anyone tell me wehre i can get the kernel config file in hoary ? i want to compile 2.6.10 in warty | 03:25 |

| bob2 | shadeofgrey: like what? | 03:25 |
| bob2 | gah | 03:25 |

| shadeofgrey | i'd be more than happy to rewrite them if one of you linux aces could just provide me with the rigfht steps | 03:25 |

| gcode | Is that safe to use and everything? I know nothing about it. I'm primarily a Gentoo user and I'm used to portage. | 03:43 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: that should give you a fresh file | 03:43 |

| Jae_ | Still not working. Unmuted everything I've got in alsamixer. | 03:43 |
| Jae_ | Maybe I gotta quit to apply changes. | 03:43 |
| rattboi | gcode, if you're a gentoo guy, aren't you used to bleeding edge? | 03:43 |
| gcode | Uh, all the fixes and updates from 1.0. :) | 03:43 |
| gcode | right | 03:43 |
| rattboi | and in that case, why not use warty? | 03:44 |
| gcode | I just wasn't sure how ubuntu handled the latest releases | 03:44 |
| farruinn | gcode: hrm, the ff with warty works fine for me... | 03:44 |
| gcode | I am using warty | 03:44 |
| WW | gcode: To be honest, I used 1.0 from backports for a little while, but there was some weirdness with how it interacted with workspaces, so I went back to 0.9.3. | 03:44 |
| shadeofgrey | okay i guess it worked | 03:44 |
| gcode | Well there are also major updates to gaim that aren't in ubuntu right now too | 03:44 |
| rattboi | oh | 03:44 |
| gcode | I just prefer to have the latest features of course | 03:44 |
| rattboi | hoary, I meant | 03:44 |

| Vjaz | Jae_, If you need to shut down X for more than a second (for which you can press ctrl+alt+backspace like fr500 said), run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" | 03:58 |
| mz2 | thoreauputic, yes there is a way to play .ogg in win media player :) | 03:59 |
| thoreauputic | mz2: ah, interesting! :) | 04:00 |
| Vjaz | I was thinking of saying something funny about Jae_ quitting just after that, but I guess he would've had to quit IRC in any case if he wasn't using it in the console, which is highly unlikely given his question. | 04:00 |

| qlo-xael | its just that the whole reason i am compiling my own kernel is so it is configured for my system, if i download preconfigured kernels, this is not moving in the direction i want | 04:49 |
| casimir | is there a way I can prevent agpgart from loading | 04:49 |
| Codyman | i am new to ubuntu... i installed it but it refuses to launch gnome because it is detecting my integrated video card and not my ATI one.. so i have pico'ed the xorg.conf file and see that it is finding my intel chipset, but how do i reset it to find my PCI ATI card? | 04:49 |

| thoreauputic | qlo-xael: so don't worry about justifying yourself - just apt-get kernel-package and go for it | 04:50 |

| Arion | Anyway, I'm working on gettings things started in Florida, the guy that thought it up already has a meeting with the tech committee in Alabama. | 06:37 |
| OrangeSlice | nice | 06:37 |
| Arion | Thanks | 06:37 |
| Tomcat_ | I think we should raise children on the most important... so it's Windows, Linux, Mac. :o | 06:37 |
| Arion | Lol | 06:37 |
| OrangeSlice | I never got my ShipIt cd's, but I had planned to talk to some people about switching :( | 06:37 |
| Arion | That may be true... | 06:37 |
| Arion | But in my home state, Alabama, the schools are going broke because noone wants to fund them | 06:38 |
| OrangeSlice | and MS wants millions of dollars :p | 06:38 |
| Arion | So, thereforeThe following error has occurred: | 06:38 |
| Arion | Exactly | 06:38 |

| OrangeSlice | free software is beautiful | 06:38 |
| Arion | Eh, blasted Trillian (can't wait to get rid of Windows) | 06:38 |
| Arion | And Linux is Open Source | 06:38 |
| Tomcat_ | The schools do have not enough money... but Microsoft gives their OS out for free almost for universities and schools. | 06:39 |

| Arion | Yes | 06:39 |
| Tomcat_ | Many schools, cities, businesses use it... | 06:39 |
| Arion | And hopefully we'll be able to finish them off :) | 06:39 |
| Tomcat_ | And especially universities... my uni practically runs on open source... | 06:39 |
| OrangeSlice | SuSE and Mandrake are both owned and primarily developed in germany, I think. | 06:39 |

| OrangeSlice | it grabs the infopipe output and pipes it through grep/sed to make it readable, then sticks it in the clipboard | 08:36 |

| bob2 | Amaranth: he/she can't get mplayer | 09:34 |

| Dreamer3 | delltony: keywords | 09:40 |
| delltony | make a bookmark of the page | 09:40 |

| delltony | and there is a thing that says keyword there | 09:41 |
| Amaranth | Dreamer3: It's a special bookmark. | 09:41 |
| delltony | might be a faster way but thats the only way i have found | 09:41 |

| bob2 | and will be for the forseeable future at least | 09:43 |
| delltony | ok thats fine | 09:43 |
| delltony | was just curious thanks for the info | 09:43 |

| delltony | the first of march if i read the page correct i can submit an order for some hoary cds and they will be shipped when it it offically released am i understanding that correct? | 09:45 |
| OrangeSlice | Gnome was one of the reasons I moved onto Ubuntu | 09:45 |
| delltony | ok since we are on kde and gnome i'm curious whats the big differnce i have yet to really get a clear understanding even after looking at screens | 09:46 |
| delltony | only thing i have seen is kde eats up memory | 09:46 |
| bob2 | there's no big difference | 09:46 |
| OrangeSlice | I had been using mandrake, which had gnome 2.6, but also came with 3 other desktops, which meant specific support and integration weren't so great | 09:46 |

| OrangeSlice | it depends on your taste | 09:47 |
| delltony | have to get more notches under my belt | 09:47 |
| OrangeSlice | kde (by default) resembles windows | 09:47 |
| OrangeSlice | gnome looks more like macos | 09:47 |

| Amaranth | redhat uses KDE | 09:48 |
| Mr_Smiley | gnome i think | 09:48 |

| goli | sladen, thanks | 10:42 |
| goli | sladen, does that fix evol or does that allow me to proceed with source install? | 10:42 |
| sladen | goli: 'build-essential' is a virtual package that depends on things like the C compiler; 'apt-get build-dep' fetches all the packages required to /build/ a particular package | 10:43 |

| viper12 | rpms blow the nard..........dependency hell. my opinion. | 11:06 |
| viper12 | wasn't sure....i've got so many stupid repos's added now, couldn't remember if they were in the default list. ;) | 11:06 |
| fsc | viper12, so do debs. it's the front-end that handles the dependency | 11:06 |
| Yawboy2 | fsc: mine only shows MySQL common | 11:06 |
| shock | <IamJacksUsername> <--- in console you can run "lsof /dev/hda1" | 11:06 |

| bob2 | ? | 11:55 |
| edulix | sudo su - | 11:55 |
| edulix | and then passwd | 11:55 |
| bob2 | Cosco`: login as your normal user | 11:55 |
| pdr | Cosco`: reboot to single-user mode | 11:55 |
| Cosco` | i cant sudo .. because i cant login | 11:55 |
| Cosco` | bob2: i cant , i forgot my user pass | 11:55 |
| bob2 | then reboot and hit "esc" over and over | 11:55 |
| Cosco` | pdr : how? | 11:55 |
| bob2 | when you get to the grub menu, choose the emergency option | 11:55 |
| Cosco` | i dont see the emergency option | 11:55 |
| Cosco` | where is it? | 11:56 |
| bob2 | dude | 11:56 |
| Amaranth | second in the list of kernels to boot | 11:56 |
| bob2 | are you at the grub boot menu? | 11:56 |
| MartinC | if anyone has time could they help me out, i'm a total n00b, it's about an ATI issue, x server cannot start because of it, ive read the ubunto dox but I dont understand, am I supposed to download fglrx for my radeaon 9100 and then try and install it how help?! | 11:56 |
| pdr | Cosco`: edit the grub boot line and put the word "single" after it | 11:56 |
| bob2 | MartinC: no, you don't need to do that | 11:56 |
| Cosco` | ah , in boot mode, not in the login screen? | 11:56 |
| bob2 | yes | 11:56 |
| Cosco` | so..i edit it and i add single at the end? | 11:56 |
| MartinC | bob2 can u help me out please? I'm in dire need of your expertise | 11:56 |
| Amaranth | MartinC: You don't need the fglrx driver for that card. There is an opensource driver that should have been setup when you installed. | 11:56 |
| Cosco` | bob2 : and what after ? i boot on ubuntu and it will not ask me the pass? | 11:57 |
| pdr | Cosco`: there's probably already a line for it, but that's what you do if there's not | 11:57 |
| bob2 | MartinC: if it didn't work out of the box, try asking on the user list | 11:57 |
| bob2 | Cosco`: yes | 11:57 |
| Cosco` | ok | 11:57 |

| viper12 | As for transparency jacques....you can do the same thing in ubuntu at the command line, but I prefer not doing the command line....gives me hives if i do it too much. ;) | 12:30 |
| shock | <Scaramouche> -- that never is ia good idea right now | 12:30 |
| Scaramouche | why, shock? | 12:31 |
| shock | but its being asked for alot lately | 12:31 |
| shock | because evolution i.e stores some unique ID's in gconf | 12:31 |
| shock | gconf being what you wanted to know, btw - the settings are mostly there | 12:31 |
| Scaramouche | ah hah! | 12:31 |
| jacquesmerde | viper12, i was warned, but it ubuntu is so preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty. i normally do stuff at the command line, aptitude gives me warnings about removals and upgrades etc, but its the whole apt-get system which is the achilles heel | 12:32 |
| shock | but it think its rather easy to get gnome configured to whatever you want | 12:32 |
| shock | :P | 12:32 |
| Scaramouche | shock, it is easy, but it still takes time! | 12:32 |
| linuxboy | jacquesmerde: what would you recommend over apt-get ? | 12:33 |
| Tsjoklat | jacquesmerde, there is no comparing between slack and ubu in my opinion | 12:33 |
| viper12 | nods jaq. When I moved to ubuntu, I forced myself to stay AWAY from apt-get and use the synaptics interface, to keep the potential for problems in 'one' spot. and I've had nothing but success with it. | 12:33 |
| Scaramouche | and, newbie that I am, I've already given myself a pretty polluted system I think... | 12:33 |
| viper12 | its still doin' the stuff, but I let it 'smart-upgrade' and stay within the framework of ubuntu, if for nothing else, to test the system. | 12:34 |

| viper12 | shouldn't BE a comparison tween slack and ubuntu........slack is 'ground-up' for rock stability and is more an 'admin/guru' system. ubu is trying to woo the 'joe-user'..they both have their place. | 12:35 |
| jacquesmerde | woah. woah, i'm not knocking apt-get, not trolling. but we all know apt-get on an "unstable" system has its dangers, no more than any other "unstable" systems thogh, its just that with apt-get, apt-get does the unstablising for you, youdont get to do it yourself | 12:35 |
| daniels | dudes, please not so much with the distro wars here | 12:35 |
| viper12 | which be why, jacque, I'm staying with snaptics interface. If ubu is gonna barf......I want it to be 'their' barf and not mine. heh heh | 12:36 |
| Scaramouche | shock, just so I'm clear: if I save my current gconf somewhere, and reinstall warty (or if I try hoary?) I can get back to my panel, window etc preferences by overwriting gconf with what I saved? | 12:36 |
| jacquesmerde | i only meant what i said to be offhand. its like that fawltey towers episode, "just don't mention the war" | 12:36 |
| viper12 | what 'war?' comparisons and opinion are all i'm seeing here. (no flames that I can see.) | 12:36 |
| viper12 | lmao jacques | 12:37 |
| shock | probaly some of that | 12:37 |
| jacquesmerde | viper12, thats the blessing and the curse of unstable apt-get, you have less control over barfing, but when you DO barf, everyone else does the same barf, so there's only one barf to fix | 12:37 |
| shock | .gnome_private and those might contain some stuff too | 12:37 |
| shock | what you could do, ofc - is tar your complete home dir ;) | 12:37 |
| shock | http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20050218 | 12:37 |
| viper12 | you got it jacq. and with hoary......that's actually a good thing......if documented. :D | 12:38 |
| viper12 | afk brb | 12:38 |
| Scaramouche | thanks shock! | 12:38 |
| jacquesmerde | viper12, its especially good if you have generic hardware, so MORE and MORE people can be saddled with your barf, so it'll get fixed sooner. thats the joy of apt-get on ubuntu hoary, taking everyone down with you! i just get a bit impatient about the fix though, though about is pretty fast in barf-fixing | 12:39 |
| shock | thats why having a seperate /home partition is usually a good idea | 12:39 |
| shock | so if you reinstall - go for manual partitioning and set up a seperate home ( if you do 5-7 G is WAY enough for / ) | 12:40 |
| CarlK | can flukebox have "desktop icons" ? | 12:40 |
| Tsjoklat | I think you are comparing apples with oranges.. apt-get is fantastic.. synaptic a tad less | 12:40 |

| Scaramouche | shock, my only issue with the seperate home partition is, I have no clue how much space I should leave for the rest of linux on this 40 gig drive... should say 2 gigs be enough for the non-home system files or whatever? | 12:46 |

| jstn_7 | and changed the relevant line to rootnoverify | 12:48 |

| Rattboi | CarlK, what a choice :P | 12:52 |

| viper12 | heh heh | 12:52 |
| jacquesmerde | viper12, i can't fight the temptation to upgrade my system to a point where its frustratingly too unstable for me, just coz i love the features | 12:53 |
| Rattboi | I'm with jacquesmerde | 12:53 |
| Scaramouche | hey I think I'm making ubuntu better by being the "idiot" in "idiot proof" ;-) | 12:53 |
| viper12 | that is WHY I have hoary running on a laptop, and my main box is warty. I can play.......and still be here if crap goes south. | 12:53 |
| jacquesmerde | right now i'm thinking, all i want is for hoary to go stable, but once that happens, i'll be sucked into the next unstable release | 12:54 |
| CarlK | viper12 - thats what the Live CD is for ;) | 12:54 |
| viper12 | .....having been a tech for toooo long me thinks. heh heh | 12:54 |
| CarlK | jacquesmerde - I just want to be able to say I am running Grumpy Groundhog | 12:54 |
| daniels | grumpy is not hoary+1 | 12:54 |
| viper12 | that's a good point carlk, but live cd vs. an installed 'unstable'......its jes not the same thing. ;) | 12:54 |
| jstn_7 | is there any way to install grub to a floppy instead of the mbr? | 12:55 |
| viper12 | jstn.......you still sweating that boot loader? lol | 12:55 |
| CarlK | viper12 = I didn't make my self clear... the live CD is what you use when your unstable goes south | 12:55 |
| CarlK | jstn_7 - yes (but I am not sure how) | 12:55 |
| shock | <Scaramouche> --- remember to run parted from a live cd | 12:55 |
| jstn_7 | too right, I've installed ubuntu 3 times, and its messed my system :( | 12:55 |
| viper12 | lmao......even better point carlk.........but I still like having more than one box. heh heh | 12:56 |
| jacquesmerde | when, groundhog hits stable, i shall dub it groundhog day, and will wish to live it every day over and over | 12:56 |
| shock | cause u need to have the partitions unmounted | 12:56 |
| shock | :) | 12:56 |
| shock | but then its fairly safe, yes | 12:56 |
| shock | atleast for ex2/3 partitions | 12:56 |
| CarlK | viper12 - besides, what ar the odd's of both unstable's going south at the same time? | 12:56 |
| Scaramouche | good catch shock! thanks! | 12:56 |
| viper12 | jstn, you can also install grub in another partition besides the mbr. | 12:56 |

| jdub | CarlK: we don't have a 'gnome' meta package | 01:06 |
| CarlK | ah, I was told both, and missed the bugzilla.ubuntulinux.org | 01:06 |
| jdub | CarlK: not supported, anyway | 01:07 |
| jdub | CarlK: why do you want to install that? | 01:07 |
| aroman | I'm guessing... that to upgrade all I need to do is s/warty/hoary/g in /etc/apt/sources.list? | 01:07 |
| CarlK | jdub - I started with a server install | 01:07 |
| viper12 | the trick aroman is to decide if you want to use it. if you need 'stability' and potential downtime isn't an option...then don't. If you wish to test and such..then do....and for the most part its pretty rock solid, but mileage, like users, will vary. | 01:07 |

| remon | Hi, does anybody know if a 250 Gig hdd can be used with just one partition (ext3) Grub fails to load after install with error 18 when I do a "simple" install :-( It worked before on a hard disk of 10 Gigs. The system is a PIII | 01:47 |
| CarlK | maximaus - i hear SB compat isn't al;wasy SB compat | 01:47 |
| CarlK | zim - 2 steps | 01:47 |
| CarlK | dd if=/dev/cdrom of=master.iso | 01:48 |
| zim | ok | 01:48 |
| zim | then | 01:48 |
| CarlK | cdrecord dev=/dev/cdr master.iso | 01:48 |
| zim | ty | 01:48 |
| CarlK | (i made up the cdr.. you will need to figure out the device) | 01:48 |
| zim | will try it | 01:48 |
| CarlK | zim - linux 2.4 or 2.6? | 01:48 |
| remon | btw, I was very surprised by the installer, on my 10 Gig hdd the install was the most simple I'd ever had with a Linux system :-) | 01:49 |
| zim | have ubuntu and fc3 | 01:49 |
| zim | both are 2.6 i think | 01:49 |
| CarlK | if the cdrecord can't find the burner, come back ;) | 01:50 |
| CarlK | cdrecord -eject dev=/dev/cdr master.iso | 01:50 |
| CarlK | just so you know when to switch disks | 01:51 |
| CarlK | btw - now would be a good time to buy a faster burner ;) | 01:51 |

| MacPlusG3 | daniels: interesting thing was, you could 'hexdump -C /dev/hda5' and see the outline of an XFS superblock (well, you could with xfs_db as well). xfs_repair would go 'can't find valid superblock' as it looks for some sane things along the way. Going from 8k to 64k stripes doesn't keep much sane. but, the --assemble option has a 'no darnit, ignore the superblock and just listen to what i tell you' option. That was useful. | 03:07 |

| thoreauputic | dtygel: don't stress about it - your earlier errors were because it couldn't find stuff you haven't enabled | 04:00 |

| Ribs | tritium: It's the truth! | 04:46 |
| snowblink_ | Nakah: try /etc/modules.conf | 04:47 |
| tritium | Nakah, blacklist them | 04:47 |
| kreiger | can i upgrade to 2.10 WITHOUT switching to hoary? | 04:47 |
| Ribs | tritium: As soon as people need help or something from you, they turn dumb. | 04:47 |
| kreiger | or will it be unstable? | 04:47 |
| LinuxJones | Nakah, it's kind of a mess really | 04:47 |
| Ribs | tritium: Try working in Retail for a while, you'll see what I mean. | 04:47 |
| Pointwood | tritium: I temporarily added this rep: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted universe multiverse | 04:47 |
| Nermal | kreiger, hoary IS unstable | 04:47 |
| tritium | LinuxJones, not with blacklisting. It's easy | 04:47 |
| kreiger | I know | 04:47 |
| Nakah | How can I blacklist them , | 04:47 |
| thoreauputic | kreiger: it will be unstable | 04:47 |
| Nermal | :) | 04:47 |
| Nakah | ? | 04:47 |
| kreiger | what about gnome 2.10? | 04:47 |
| LinuxJones | blacklisting doesn't work for some modules | 04:47 |
| kreiger | k | 04:47 |
| kreiger | that answers my question | 04:47 |
| Nermal | it would probably be more work | 04:47 |
| tritium | Nakah, append the modules you don't want to load to /etc/hotplug/blacklist | 04:47 |
| kreiger | so now i need to find media preferences so i can swtch | 04:47 |

| Pointwood | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted universe multiverse <-- shouldn't that work then? | 04:50 |
| tritium | LinuxJones, agpgart, for one, is being loaded by intel_agp (if that's your arch) | 04:50 |
| chutwig | so i guess hoary hasn't got any snapshot images built, then | 04:51 |
| tritium | Pointwood, did you apt-get upgrade after adding that? | 04:51 |
| Pointwood | hrm | 04:51 |

| === eruin [~eruin@eruin.user] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| vi11e | heyy, I manage open the dvd with xine, but the xines gui, the control things are real small.. how do I enlarge them? :S and why doesn't that xine accept my mouse pressings within the dvd screen | 05:33 |
| vi11e | fonts are small | 05:33 |
| tritium | aroman, did you allow that to happen, or did you not dist-upgrade? | 05:33 |
| aroman | tritium, I did upgrade, not dist-upgrade as someone here recommended | 05:34 |
| tritium | aroman, that's actually smart of you to observe | 05:35 |
| vi11e | hmm , so if I installed that dvd-playback capability codecs, it should be fine hmm.. is there any other alternative codecs maybe that I could try | 05:35 |
| tritium | aroman, is ubuntu-desktop the only think it wants to remove? | 05:35 |

| kreiger | here's a question | 05:51 |
| tezem | My friend compiled a new kernel with the config from the standard kernel he used before but he now gets a Kernel Panic. It's likely that the Problem has to do with the initrd. We don't have a initrd for this kernel. Where could it found? | 05:51 |
| Nermal | tezem, mkinitrd | 05:52 |
| kreiger | if i use the ubuntu CD to wipe the partitions linux is currently on, can i overwrite my grub safely? | 05:52 |

| Deicide- | Hello i got a problem: I got a new HDD today. BIOS cant recognise my disc, but the Ubuntu installation program did. So i installed the first stage of Ubuntu without problem. Now, it wants me to remove the CD and boot from the HDD to begin the second stage install. The problem is, as i said, that my HDD isnt recognised by BIOS, so i cant start the second stage. Can i, in some way, start the second stage from the CD? | 06:52 |

| prego | Deicide-, just for curiosity, how large is the HD? | 06:55 |
| NermalLaptop | 3.5"? | 06:56 |

| Deicide- | No, not the same brand. | 06:57 |
| Deicide- | So i cant boot the second stage from the CD huh? | 06:57 |
| dgp | Deicide-: i think not | 06:57 |
| evarlast | Deicide-: is the drive properly jumpered for the position in the IDE bus? Master/Slave/etc | 06:57 |
| NermalLaptop | even if you could it would be pointless | 06:57 |
| NermalLaptop | as your bios reads the MBR to load the bootloader iirc | 06:58 |
| dgp | Deicide-: try to enforce some other mode, e.g. chs or large or whatever, until it works | 06:58 |
| Deicide- | Yes. I mean, the Ubuntu installation found it and installed the system without any problem. So there is nothing wrong with the HDD. | 06:58 |
| Deicide- | I have tried all. | 06:58 |
| Deicide- | But i can try again. | 06:58 |
| dgp | Deicide-: does it power up instantly or after some seconds? try setting a delay | 06:58 |
| Deicide- | If i press "HDD IDE AUTO DETECTION" the bios just hangs. I did that with my old HDD without any problems. | 06:59 |
| dgp | i've seen older machines see only some part (like the first 8gb) of a disk | 06:59 |

| heliolith | tritium I'm not sure about that... I used the direcitons on the unofficial guide page | 07:51 |
| heliolith | it was working for a couple of weeks before it crashed | 07:51 |
| chrismurf | heliolith, it doesn't sound like a crash, it sounds like something changed and it waited until you reooted to take effect (like a kernel) | 07:51 |
| nanomad | mephisto_: i tried std firefox (installed via apt) and it works too... try an upgrade maybe it could solve your problems | 07:52 |
| tritium | heliolith, yes. I suggest you first check to make sure that the running kernel and linux-restricted-modules have the exact same version number | 07:52 |

| chrismurf | does anybody have ndiswrapper working under hoary? | 08:06 |
| rusty_ | nah not in my experience | 08:07 |
| rusty_ | just update within x | 08:07 |
| rusty_ | and restart x | 08:07 |
| ZellSF | Yeah, but when I tried updating earlier, after reboot, all I got was a terminal :/ | 08:07 |
| rusty_ | hmmmm | 08:07 |
| ZellSF | Should I just keep updating then? | 08:07 |
| rusty_ | well did you wait until the update was complete? | 08:07 |
| rusty_ | was this a full system update? | 08:08 |

| thoreauputic | cab1`: samba can handle linux and mac, so yeah, why not? | 09:04 |
| thenuke | ARR.. Grub error 18 | 09:04 |
| cab1` | so yes, ubuntu will work | 09:04 |
| cab1` | ive never used linux for more than 10minutes, but am a mac user | 09:04 |

| markuman | i've delete the debian src. now | 09:05 |
| cab1` | is it difficult to set up a server? | 09:05 |
| === carajea1 [~shicara@141.209.221.232] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| cab1` | on linux | 09:05 |
| thenuke | cab1`: like what server? | 09:05 |
| cab1` | or will i figure it out | 09:05 |
| thoreauputic | cab1`: well, in that case you need to read a bit about config for samba I'd say | 09:05 |
| thenuke | cab1`: usually it is not hard to set up some normal servers | 09:05 |
| cab1` | just a LAN server so i can share an inet connection and conenct the various pcs | 09:05 |
| cab1` | just a plain server that does nothing | 09:05 |
| tritium | bye | 09:06 |
| cab1` | just a gateway server | 09:06 |
| cab1` | set ip, and subnet and thahts it | 09:06 |
| cab1` | drivers is what im stressing bout | 09:06 |
| cab1` | dont have drivers for my hub | 09:06 |
| Tomcat_ | cab1`: Routing via NAT is a bit tricky, but doable with good HOWTOs... servers are easy. | 09:06 |
| thenuke | should not be too hard, never done that by self, but I know that there just must be A LOT of documentation and howtos about that in the net :) | 09:07 |
| cab1` | ill go have a look | 09:07 |
| thoreauputic | the firestarter app will set up NAT very easily | 09:07 |
| markuman | what are you have in your /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:08 |
| markuman | ? | 09:08 |
| cab1` | firestarter , where can i get that? | 09:08 |
| thenuke | markuman: :o about same thing what you do have? | 09:08 |
| thoreauputic | cab1`: it's in the ubuntu repositories | 09:08 |
| thoreauputic | "universe" I think | 09:08 |
| thenuke | markuman: some uncomment the lines which have the words 'universe' in them to get some more packages available | 09:09 |
| thoreauputic | cab1`: I suggest youi read the links in the /topic first | 09:09 |
| markuman | thenuke: i have deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-security universe , but don't find wine. | 09:09 |

| Vjaz | vi11e, most probably not | 09:12 |
| tidalwav1 | okay :) | 09:12 |
| tritium | vi11e, see ubuntuguide.org | 09:13 |
| thoreauputic | vi11e: you need the marillat debian repos | 09:13 |
| markuman | LinuxJones, i don't understand. http://deb.ubuntu.com/ hoary universe doesn't work | 09:13 |
| tritium | tidalwav1, are you in need of custom-built kernel modules? | 09:13 |
| markuman | oh | 09:14 |
| farruinn | markuman: I think he means deb http://archive.ubuntu... | 09:14 |
| tritium | markuman, did you see the URL I sent you? | 09:14 |
| vi11e | hmm I think I have them... all in all, is mplayer as easy to set up as xmms and xine and others if I have the marillat repos? | 09:14 |
| LinuxJones | markuman, the line should look like this >> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted universe | 09:14 |
| tidalwav1 | tritium, nope--trying to compile ndiswrapper from source | 09:15 |
| tidalwav1 | and it needs kernel sources | 09:15 |
| markuman | ok, thx. | 09:15 |
| tritium | tidalwav1, oh, you only need linux-headers in that case | 09:15 |
| tidalwav1 | oh, okay | 09:16 |
| tidalwav1 | instead of linux-source? | 09:16 |
| tritium | yeah | 09:17 |
| tritium | just match linux-headers to the same version as your kernel | 09:17 |
| tidalwav1 | okay | 09:17 |

| tritium | jacquesmerde, if you've custom-configured, usually. e.g. if you set up a printer in cups, don't upgrade your printers.conf | 09:45 |
| jacquesmerde | tritium, but is mine is NOT an oronico card. its a prism2.5 card, and wlan-ng gets it working with a prism2_pci module | 09:45 |
| jesuel | stupid broadcom :( | 09:45 |
| tritium | jacquesmerde, there are a few different modules that work | 09:45 |
| jesuel | This laptop is just a evil thing | 09:45 |
| shadeofgrey | aldo | 09:46 |
| shadeofgrey | how do you shut down the xserver so that i can instaall the nvidia drivers? | 09:46 |
| jacquesmerde | tritium, but if i havent changed any conf files myself, is ubuntu just trying to give me a new conf file its improved on with the newer package? | 09:46 |
| tritium | jacquesmerde, yeah, if you've not configured, go ahead and install the new ones | 09:46 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, what it means is that the driver fits the hardware, now the reason for this is most likely that the "magic" chips are the same on your card and the oronico card | 09:46 |
| jacquesmerde | tritium, you mean with my card? i would LOVE to know the best way to get my wifi card working, i've given up on a LOT of distros i'd love to try because i cant get it to play with my wifi card | 09:46 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: sudo /tc/init.d/gdm stop | 09:47 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: sorry /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 09:48 |
| tritium | jacquesmerde, you'd want to bind orinoco_cs, or whichever module is working for you, to the card you're using | 09:48 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, well a lot of distro's seem to THINK my card is orinco compatible, load the oronico.o module, but it never works. my suspicion is that ubuntu (or someone before them) has patched the oronico.o module to make it work with my card... | 09:48 |
| thoreauputic | sub restart to restart (or just start) | 09:48 |
| tritium | jacquesmerde, you said the other distros used prism2_pci | 09:49 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, or they (other distros) are broken in other places and commonly broken if you understand my drift but I would not know | 09:49 |
| jacquesmerde | tritium, yup, but that module comes from linux-wlan-ng, its not native to the kernel | 09:49 |

| carajea1 | ok how to install a prog. for some reason it wont dpkg | 09:52 |
| cristiano_e | however it looks like Ubuntu live isn't mounting my floppy! | 09:52 |
| tritium | carajea1, dpkg -i <package> | 09:53 |
| thoreauputic | cristiano_e: from the directory containing the file you want to put on floppy, type dd if=yourfile of=/dev/fd0 | 09:53 |
| abelli | hi there.. | 09:53 |
| ompaul | cristiano_e, cat /etc/fstab and see what it calls the floppy | 09:53 |
| ompaul | cristiano_e, then mount it | 09:53 |
| carajea1 | i tried that | 09:53 |
| abelli | is there any burning app apart k3b in warty? | 09:53 |
| jacquesmerde | i just tried another dist-upgrade, tritium, it upgraded a few packages, then said "errors were encountered while processing synaptic, aptitude and ubuntu desktop. then i tried to sudo aptitude dist-upgrade again, and it said, aptitude: error while loading shared libraries: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5.so.3.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 09:54 |

Now command apt-get -f wants to remove whole gnome (126 packages) just to remove this half installed package aftervards. How to manually remove this package, so apt-get -f wons show no packages for removal. | 10:46 |
| carajea1 | ok lets go the synaptic route how do i add them from there? | 10:46 |
| MobyTurbo | carajea1, search the menus for "repositories" | 10:47 |
| carajea1 | ok they are all checked | 10:47 |
| august | thoreauputic: ok, I'm having trouble finding an appropriate answer for my situation. I have installed ubuntu to dual boot with windows. I want to do it from the win boot loader. However, when telling ubuntu to install the boot sector in its own (non hda1) partition, I made a mistake and enterred a non existent partition. (hda3). So I have tried, first restoring the bootability of ubuntu TO ITS OWN PARTITION, and second, be able to make it bootab | 10:47 |
| august | le from windows. (I partly know how to do the second, though) | 10:47 |
| MobyTurbo | carajea1, but you need to add multiverse, and maybe sh.nu, plus the merillat(sp?) sources. | 10:48 |
| MobyTurbo | carajea1, multiverse is just like universe - it's easy. The others are explained at ubuntuguide | 10:48 |
| carajea1 | omg thats a lot for a newb to do | 10:48 |
| august | thoreauputic: all instructions I find are for restoring the Ubuntu grub to the MBR. I don't want to put it in MBR | 10:49 |
| Se-chan | thoreauputic, no, I dont. Not a working one. | 10:49 |
| thoreauputic | august: I don't understand the need to use the windows bootloader: grub is *much* better | 10:49 |
| MobyTurbo | carajea1, there are legal reasons why they have to be added later | 10:49 |
| carajea1 | i understand the legal part but now the hard part is getting all that done | 10:50 |
| august | thoreauputic: personally, I'd use it too, but we have a weird external requirement here. Does that mean it's not possible to restore grub to ubuntu's own partition? | 10:50 |
| MobyTurbo | carajea1, let ubuntuguide be your guide. :-) | 10:50 |
| thoreauputic | august: you can install grub in the ubuntu partition | 10:51 |

| jacquesmerde | ompaul, AND polypaudio seems to be nowhere in sight | 11:12 |

| thoreauputic | so why do you need to log in as root? it's not necessary | 11:14 |
| mcphail | abiertos: have you definitely set a root password? This isn't done by default on Ubuntu. | 11:14 |
| abiertos | but I what to login the root user directly without put su and after the password | 11:14 |
| thoreauputic | su is all you need | 11:14 |

| shadeofgrey | im going to TRY installing xmms again | 11:14 |

| shadeofgrey | its apt-get install xmms* correct? | 11:15 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, presumably the lack of sound would be caused by a particular package (whether it was upgraded, removed or installed), so i need to find out which of afermentioned packages are "sound-y" | 11:15 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: take my advice and install gstreamer0.8-mad | 11:15 |
| abiertos | the root is activated but dont work in ttys terminals directly | 11:15 |
| shadeofgrey | thor: you want me to do that first? | 11:15 |
| abiertos | I what to change that | 11:15 |
| Vjaz | abiertos, root login should work if root has a password... so is it the case that you/someone else using the system has deliberately disabled root login on your system? | 11:15 |
| thoreauputic | or at the same time, yes | 11:15 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, it could also be a "mixer" option | 11:15 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, i've never "fixed" my sound problem. only reinstalled ubuntu with a different .iso | 11:15 |
| abiertos | I know my root password | 11:16 |
| shadeofgrey | okayso | 11:16 |
| mcphail | abiertos: .bashrc? | 11:16 |
| carajean | ok so no one has ever fixed there sound issues??? | 11:16 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, so aptitude could have changed a "mixer option" without ANY reference to it in its log? | 11:16 |

| shadeofgrey | then i would type apt get install gstreamer0.8-mad | 11:16 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: yes | 11:16 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, well look at it like this - something used to point to /dev/notworking and then something changes that | 11:17 |
| jinx_ | ompaul: I don't understand why it is attempting to do anything with hdc tbh | 11:17 |
| thoreauputic | you can install both at once apt get install gstreamer0.8-mad xmms | 11:17 |
| shadeofgrey | okay done. | 11:17 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, also, how come after i did an update, i could then do an upgrade, dist-upgrade, upgrade, dist-upgrade, etc...each time installing new packages? | 11:17 |
| ompaul | jinx_, hdc indicates you have two hard drives before the cdrom | 11:17 |

| bucky | apokryphos, there are 338 people logged into this channel... you cant get an answer here? | 11:18 |
| shadeofgrey | now then.... how do i set up my system so that i can just read the mp3s from my win partision? | 11:18 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, that is a fun one, upgrade is one level of paranoia - dist-upgrade is different | 11:18 |
| shadeofgrey | partition rather | 11:18 |
| thoreauputic | abiertos: logging in directly as root is stupid anyway - much better log in as user and use su | 11:19 |
| mcphail | /dev/hdc defaults to cdrom even if you don't have a hdb | 11:19 |
| p-fox | anyone know whats happened to the sound in warty -> hoary | 11:19 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, combined they do several things and adjust that which is not installed yet | 11:19 |
| p-fox | ? | 11:19 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, but i think dist-upgrade was just a once-only action, that would take you from warty's base system, to hoary's. how come i could keep donig it with different results? | 11:19 |
| nomasteryoda | shadeofgrey, open terminal... type sudo mkdir /mnt/windows | 11:19 |
| === website [~website@host113-191.pool8250.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jinx_ | ompaul: ok. But if the cd checks out ok, then I'm not sure why it can't read from it properly | 11:19 |
| tormod | abiertos, check auth.log and system.log for clues, after a login attempt, | 11:19 |
| jinx_ | ompaul: that is, if the cd drive is being detected as hdc | 11:20 |
| nomasteryoda | shadeofgrey, then sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdX (replace x with letter of windows part) /mnt/windows | 11:20 |
| apokryphos | Is there any hope of Ubuntu sorting out its dependencies issues in the repositories? | 11:20 |
| carajean | anybody solve the sound problem? i just want to listen to mp3's | 11:20 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, i guess all i have to do now is reinstall warty AGAIN, and follow the actions i took in my aptitude log, until the last one which barfed my sound | 11:20 |
| apokryphos | carajean: See ubuntulinux.org. I recommend amaroK though, personally. | 11:20 |
| === bucky [~bucky@67-137-128-172.bras01.mob.ut.frontiernet.net] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| thoreauputic | apokryphos: what dependency issues? I have none here | 11:20 |
| apokryphos | thoreauputic: I have several. For one, in trying to install qtorrent; secondly, kynaptic. | 11:21 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, i dont know WHY i did another dist-upgrade, my system was fine. but i thought it was just a once-only thing, so i thought if there was still more dist-upgrade'ing to do, then it hadnt finished properly the last time | 11:21 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, or you can apt-get remove --purge some sound stuff until you get lucky | 11:21 |
| thoreauputic | apokryphos: OK | 11:21 |
| apokryphos | thoreauputic: Other random ones too, but not that spring to mind at the mo. | 11:21 |
| shadeofgrey | mount: /dev/hda already mounted or /mnt/windows busy | 11:22 |
| ompaul | jinx_, that cd is on ide 1 disk 1 am I right? | 11:22 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, of course! i manually wind back to BEFORE that last aptitude action, then try each one one by one until i find the culprit! | 11:22 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, it is one way | 11:22 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: then it's mounred and you can access it from your file manager | 11:22 |

| carajean | ok here is a quick fact about ubuntu sound will NEVER work!!! | 11:38 |
| jacquesmerde | i did a third in a series of dist-upgrades, and now i can not get ANY sound. ompaul seemed to think removing and reinstalling totem might help. i was more inclined to undo everything in the last list of aptitude changes | 11:38 |
| Panzerboy | hmm | 11:38 |
| Panzerboy | strange thing | 11:38 |
| jacquesmerde | balor, do you know how to downgrade packages in aptitude? | 11:39 |

| BiteMeBill | carajean: Strange, mine seems to be working fine. | 11:39 |
| thoreauputic | Panzerboy: maybe the GNOME team decided to take away *yet another* option ;/ | 11:39 |
| balor | carajean: It's easy to get sound working but I think ubuntu have some problems with the current Hoary kenrel | 11:39 |
| jacquesmerde | interestingly, polypaudio has been removed from my system, and STILL no sound | 11:39 |
| carajean | this is the only distro where sound has not worked right after installation | 11:39 |
| jacquesmerde | balor, alsa mixer says "pretty pictures" | 11:40 |
| Panzerboy | thoreauputic: yeah, that would be a reasonable explanation :) | 11:40 |
| Panzerboy | but tell me, is it too much to ask ? | 11:40 |
| balor | jacquesmerde: What do you mean...does it actually say that string? | 11:40 |

| thoreauputic | Panzerboy: sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 11:40 |
| Panzerboy | in a EASY and INTUITIVE way | 11:40 |
| balor | Panzerboy: you have to write a .desktop file | 11:40 |
| carajean | ok so if there is any easy way why after searching google forever have i not found it or out of the 339 people in this chat no one has said so??? | 11:40 |

| === junit [~chatzilla@c-67-175-52-127.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Panzerboy | mcphail: i've already installed hoary | 11:44 |
| Panzerboy | so it stays | 11:45 |
| mcphail | sensible | 11:45 |
| junit | My Ubuntu is going extremely slow for some reason | 11:45 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, how do i downgrade packages with aptitude so i can roll back my system? | 11:45 |
| Panzerboy | but at least i will file a buf report | 11:45 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, you might have a chance to do something with deselect | 11:45 |
| Panzerboy | bug that is :) | 11:45 |
| junit | it happened after I compiled GTK2.4.0 | 11:45 |
| thoreauputic | Panzerboy: that's why I suggested installing another window manager - but really, the GNOME crew are getting out of touch i you ask me | 11:45 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, it front ends apt-get | 11:45 |
| junit | could that be the cause? | 11:45 |
| === LDR [~LDR@dsl-152-112.aei.ca] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Panzerboy | thoreauputic: yeah man, but this is why i wanted to install ubuntu in the first place, to see what gnome is now | 11:45 |
| balor | junit: why are you running gtk 2.4 ? | 11:45 |
| mcphail | thoreauputic: wasn't there an alternate GNOME branch? | 11:46 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, dselect doesnt seem to have an option for downgrading | 11:46 |
| junit | im an idiot | 11:46 |
| === lupusBE [~lupus@dD5E03E4B.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Panzerboy | and gnome it's supposed to be something great in ubuntu | 11:46 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, i think i'm just gonna reinstall my warty cd | 11:46 |
| === Parallax_ [~Pbl@213.231.94.39] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| junit | im trying to remove it, but it is going extremely slow | 11:46 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, 2 things before i do that | 11:46 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, can you get your data off that box first? | 11:46 |
| Panzerboy | i had BIG problems with mp3 playing in warty | 11:46 |
| Panzerboy | now i didn't try yet to play a mp3 :P | 11:46 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, 1, whats the correct way to get my system up to date from warty? i dont want a repeat of what i've just done then | 11:46 |
| Panzerboy | i'm scared :p | 11:47 |
| thoreauputic | mcphail: I don't know - but each release seems to make more and more assumptions about what things users shouldn't be able to change... I find it insulting | 11:47 |
| mcphail | Panzerboy: never had probs | 11:47 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, oh, there is NO data on this disk, i've been reinstalling ubuntu twice a day for the last few days... | 11:47 |
| mcphail | thoreauputic: 2.8 is much better than 2.6 | 11:47 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, well what I do given that there are several ways to be correct :) is this | 11:47 |
| shadeofgrey | okay i need help guys. editted /etc/fstab - just as the starter guide suggested did mount -a as root and i still see a red x in my /mnt/windows with the file manager | 11:47 |
| Panzerboy | mcphail: well, every player i've tried in warty played like 5-8 secs from a file | 11:47 |
| junit | If I install Hoary, once the final comes out, will i be able to install without losing everything | 11:47 |
| Panzerboy | then it get to the next | 11:47 |
| Panzerboy | and the same thing happened | 11:47 |
| carajean | balor, its not there i must have logged in after that | 11:48 |
| mcphail | Panzerboy: just worked "out of the box" | 11:48 |
| balor | junit: do you have /home on a separate partition? | 11:48 |
| junit | no | 11:48 |
| Panzerboy | but i found out there were some problems with the fs | 11:48 |
| balor | carajean: you need to "amixer set Master 100 on" and "amixer set PCM 100 on" to unmute it | 11:48 |
| Panzerboy | because the mp3's are on a ntfs partition | 11:48 |
| thoreauputic | mcphail: well, at least the option to disable "spatial" in nautilus is there - I believe it's been hidden again now | 11:48 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, 1) edit the souces file in /etc/apt to allow all sources to be active, 2) only do the following "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade" I never do further than that and apt has been good to me | 11:48 |
| Panzerboy | and when i've tried to copy them, it failed for each file | 11:48 |
| junit | I want to try hoary out, and I don't want to lose everything once it comes out | 11:48 |
| mcphail | thoreauputic: wth is spatial? | 11:48 |
| Panzerboy | but then again, in mandrake it worked | 11:49 |
| balor | junit: if /home is on the same partition as /, it'll get whacked when you upgrade. Burn a CD and put /home on a separate partition | 11:49 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, anything else? | 11:49 |
| Panzerboy | but maybe the kernel was broken or smth | 11:49 |
| Panzerboy | anyway | 11:49 |
| mcphail | Panzerboy: my XP is FAT32 | 11:49 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, but ubuntu is so much prettier after a dist-upgrade, whats more, i dist-upgraded twice before my system barfed on the third | 11:49 |
| Panzerboy | back to installing some more stuff :) | 11:49 |
| thoreauputic | mcphail: the nautilus windows that open all over your desk when you open a new directory :/ | 11:49 |
| carajean | ok both those are 100 | 11:49 |
| Panzerboy | thoreauputic: that's also shitty | 11:49 |
| thoreauputic | mcphail: one of my pet hates | 11:49 |
| mcphail | thoreauputic: that is crappy | 11:49 |
| carajean | and still no sound | 11:49 |
| balor | carajean: can you play sound now? | 11:49 |
| balor | carajean: strange | 11:49 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, may I suggest that you put a partition away to one side for two things future data config files you think might be useful | 11:49 |
| shadeofgrey | i dont believe it | 11:50 |
| thoreauputic | mcphail: I now use rox- thay got it right: middle click to open a new window | 11:50 |
| shadeofgrey | i actually did it! | 11:50 |
| shadeofgrey | hell yeah!' | 11:50 |
| thoreauputic | mcphail: in nautilus, you have to midle click to avoid polluting the desktop | 11:50 |
| junit | OMFG, this is going soooo slow | 11:50 |
| carajean | stil no sound | 11:50 |
| mcphail | thoreauputic: I'll stick with GNOME as long as they keep .gnome2/nautilus-scripts | 11:50 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, since dloading ubuntu packages has become almost a gig a day habit for me, i want to switch my sources.list to a local mirror (which doesnt effect my dload cap), i know archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu goes to mirror.pacific.net.au/ubuntu but i have no idea what to change sercurity.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to | 11:51 |
| === ompaul gets annoyed by the unpublished "security" report getting so much space | ||
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: congrats :) | 11:51 |

| Panzerboy | any of you guys installed mplayer? | 11:51 |
| junit | i did | 11:51 |
| Panzerboy | junit: how? | 11:51 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: you have mp3 now? | 11:51 |
| Panzerboy | manually ? | 11:51 |
| junit | i forget | 11:51 |
| junit | ha | 11:51 |
| Panzerboy | :) | 11:51 |
| junit | i don' think it was manually | 11:52 |
| Panzerboy | f**k u :-) | 11:52 |
| Panzerboy | j/k :P | 11:52 |
| jacquesmerde | ompaul, i'm definitely going to copy my aptitude /var/log files to my windows partition...i'd just rollback to before my last dist-upgrade, but i dont think you can downgrade packages... | 11:52 |
| carajean | balor, any suggestions on how to fix?? | 11:52 |
| shadeofgrey | thor: yup! | 11:52 |
| Panzerboy | well, apt-get-ing it fails | 11:52 |

| ompaul | jacquesmerde, sorry I do not know enough about the mirrors to help there, however I think you can now figure out what I am going to check into :) | 11:53 |

| Panzerboy | playing 10-12 secs | 11:54 |
| Panzerboy | then the next | 11:54 |
| Panzerboy | and again and again | 11:55 |
| thoreauputic | right - well gstreamer is doing the job with rhythmbox | 11:55 |

| balor | carajean: Are you in the audio group? | 11:55 |
| Panzerboy | well, ubuntu, it was nice knowing you | 11:55 |
| Panzerboy | tomorrow is the beginning of a new era | 11:55 |
| ebone | hey guys. | 11:55 |
| shadeofgrey | thor: now i need to know how to create a link to my main launch panel that opens my c:\mp3 directory so that i can get straight there with a single mouseclick | 11:55 |
| ebone | question. | 11:55 |
| Panzerboy | rather the re-begining of a new era | 11:55 |
| ompaul | jacquesmerde, security.ubuntu does seem to point to archive (or that could be sleep in my eyes) | 11:55 |
| Panzerboy | the gentoo era | 11:55 |
| ebone | is there any documentation on how to customize Gnome ? | 11:56 |
| Panzerboy | ebone: no | 11:56 |
| Panzerboy | gnome is NOT customizable | 11:56 |
| ebone | :) | 11:56 |
| balor | ebone: it depends on what you want to do | 11:56 |
| Panzerboy | the devs of gnome already know what you want | 11:56 |
| balor | Panzerboy: you're an idiot | 11:56 |
| ebone | yeah ... let me continue ... | 11:56 |
| LinuxJones | Panzerboy, what are you saying ?? | 11:56 |
| === Parallax_ [~Pbl@213.231.94.39] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| carajean | um i dotn know what an audio group is? | 11:56 |
| ebone | i prefer "old-skool" vi style customizing ... | 11:56 |
| balor | carajean: give me a minute to test it first | 11:56 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: just make an icon/launcher with nautilus /path /to /directory I guess | 11:56 |
| ebone | all the user documentation assumes you are using it's interface ... | 11:56 |
| carajean | ok | 11:57 |
| ebone | i'd rather just edit text files honestly ... | 11:57 |
| Panzerboy | simple question: how do I add a launcher to a menu ? | 11:57 |
| Panzerboy | LinuxJones: can you answer me ? | 11:57 |
| ebone | i know where all the KDE files are kept ... | 11:57 |
| shadeofgrey | i figured it out | 11:57 |
| Panzerboy | balor: and stop calling names | 11:57 |
| shadeofgrey | now heres a different question | 11:57 |
| ebone | i'm having a hard time figuring out which files do what and stuff like that. | 11:57 |
| Panzerboy | balor: you don't know me, so there's no need to insult me | 11:57 |
| Panzerboy | balor: ok? | 11:57 |
| LinuxJones | Panzerboy, you having trouble with audio or something ? | 11:57 |
| shadeofgrey | how do i make the file manager NOT open a new window every time i go up or down a directory? | 11:58 |
| Panzerboy | LinuxJones: well, yes | 11:58 |
| shadeofgrey | it makes the desktop very cluttered very fast | 11:58 |
| balor | carajean: type "groups" in a terminal to see if your're in the audio group | 11:58 |
| mcphail | shadeofgrey: one minute | 11:58 |
| Panzerboy | LinuxJones: actually i don't think it's with audio | 11:58 |
| Panzerboy | LinuxJones: i have a ntfs partition where i have some mp3's | 11:58 |
| LinuxJones | Panzerboy, do you know if your using the alsa sound modules ? | 11:58 |
| thoreauputic | shadeofgrey: middle click - or edit preferences behaviour and choose browse mode | 11:58 |
| Panzerboy | LinuxJones: nope, how can i find out? | 11:59 |
| Panzerboy | anyway | 11:59 |
| Panzerboy | i cannot even copy them | 11:59 |
| carajean | yeah it says audio | 11:59 |
| LinuxJones | Panzerboy, can you copy one to your local drive and see if it makes a difference ? | 11:59 |
| Panzerboy | well, there's the trick | 11:59 |
| mcphail | shadeofgrey: apps > system > cong editor > apps > nautilus > desktop > prefs > use browser | 11:59 |
| Panzerboy | LinuxJones: the copying fails for every single one of them | 11:59 |
| LinuxJones | Panzerboy, umm | 11:59 |
