I see that it's available for download at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/downloads.php. Which one would I want to download and how would I install it? Sorry if that comes off as dumb but I tried to figure it out and I'm not having any luck. | 01:47 |
| photoguy151 | i know there was one that included everything | 01:47 |
| photoguy151 | apt-get install gaim | 01:47 |
| photoguy151 | tomaraya:apt-get install gaim | 01:47 |
| tomaraya | it says 'gaim is already the newest version. | 01:47 |
| tomaraya | ' | 01:47 |
| tomaraya | But the program itself tells me it isn't. | 01:48 |
| Viper12 | mikew, you can use fdisk for some of that..........or if you prefer gui, download the gparted application.......lets ya do all kinds of stuff. :) | 01:48 |
| Viper12 | and the automount stuff......just edit fstab. | 01:48 |
| MikeW | where is fstab? | 01:48 |

| foznot | i have hoary and my gaim version is 1.1.2 | 01:49 |
| tomaraya | Oh, I see. So it's nothing for me to worry about. Basically, if apt-get says its the newest don't worry then, correct? | 01:50 |

| Viper12 | tomaraya.......the earlier version on hoary is considered 'stable'. Just because its a slightly newer 'revision' doesn't make it better. | 01:50 |
| photoguy151 | yah, but there is a package i downloaded befor that has all the development tools in it | 01:50 |
| foznot | toma... correct apt-get will allow you to get the latest stable version with your setup | 01:51 |
| tomaraya | Viper12: So I've read. I wasn't worried about it, I just thought I was doing something wrong. | 01:51 |

| Viper12 | xorg.conf controls the enviroment.....monitors, keyboards, mouse, etc. | 01:52 |
| Viper12 | or xfree if on warty. | 01:52 |
| tomaraya | foznot: Oh? Like add additional repositories? | 01:52 |
| TestDummy | Well, half my interface devices are USB... mouse keyboard, etc... | 01:52 |

| tomaraya | foznot: Yeah, I've seen those, where you edit out the # lines, I've already done that. | 01:53 |
| Viper12 | nods testdummy.......I wouldn't think so....but you're adding a usb device that is obviously conflicting with the mouse.......my rec' would be to head to the ubuntu hardware forums first. | 01:53 |
| tomaraya | foznot: Plus in Synaptic I checked off the other 5 ones that were unchecked. | 01:53 |
| TestDummy | Eck... well, I do have a little converter deal I got with the mouse that can switch it over to PS/2. perhaps if I dig that up I'll see if that works and if not, head to the fourms.. | 01:54 |
| Viper12 | the problem test with troubleshooting that particular problem here is the variety of differing hardware makes it really hard to say 'do x' in that instance. | 01:54 |
| foznot | tomaraya, i think at ubuntulinux.org they can show you how to add multiverse repos, i think they are called | 01:54 |

| mBob | hi - is it possible to use debian repositry's in ubuntu? | 02:17 |
| mBob | or will it mess up dep's? | 02:18 |
| thoreauputic | mBob: possible but not recommended | 02:18 |
| thoreauputic | probably | 02:18 |
| === avdd [~avdd@fez.modernnoise.com] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| mBob | is ubuntu made from packages from debian repositries though? | 02:18 |
| Viper12 | since ubuntu is completely debian 'based', you could, by adding the repos to sources.list...........but why? the universe/multiverse repos are bazillions of apps anyway. | 02:19 |
| mBob | well i looked in synaptic (or something like that) and couldn't find kd | 02:19 |
| mBob | *kde | 02:19 |
| Viper12 | mbob, ubuntu is using the SID unstable branch. | 02:19 |
| HiddenWolf | mbob: Highly unrecommended, actually | 02:19 |
| HiddenWolf | mbob: enable universe | 02:19 |
| mBob | where do i do that? | 02:19 |
| thoreauputic | mBob: you need to enable "universe" under settings > repositories | 02:20 |
| Viper12 | synaptic is using the apt-get sources.list file. you can manually edit that file, and synaptics will grab from it after an 'reload'. | 02:20 |
| Viper12 | or, just enable universe. lol | 02:20 |
| mBob | ok thanks | 02:20 |
| HiddenWolf | mbob: either of the abovementioned, really | 02:20 |

| nicholsc | yes it is | 02:29 |
| tomaraya | 169.254? | 02:29 |
| nicholsc | and it's a valid IP address | 02:29 |

| tomaraya | Oh. Right. | 02:29 |
| intrade | so you know the command i have to do in gnome? | 02:29 |
| nicholsc | i called the computer user services people at my school and they dont support linux, but they confirmed i was getting a valid ip | 02:29 |
| nicholsc | i've tried pinging it from another computer | 02:29 |
| nicholsc | but it doesn't work | 02:29 |
| nicholsc | is there something i need to do to enable the interface? | 02:29 |
| thoreauputic | intrade: run pppconfig to set up your account (in aterminal) then use pon to connect, poff to disconnect | 02:30 |
| mBob | nicholsc - thats probably your lan card, reboot with your lancard disabled, then run ifconfig and see if you have an ip address | 02:30 |
| mBob | (disable lan card in bios) | 02:30 |
| intrade | ok tahnks i tried wvdialconf create | 02:30 |

| karim | intrade, me | 03:05 |
| tomaraya | Ok, with Synpatic, now that i've downloaded the .DEB file,.. wait a minute. I see what i'm not getting here. As I've downloaded the file, I need to use dpkg -i .. but I could have used the package manager to find it on one of the repositories much easier. Is that right? | 03:05 |

| tomaraya | thoreauputic: Sorry, when you said 'package manager' I was thinking something other than Synaptic, some sort of GUI based utility for .DEB packages or something. I didn't understand. | 03:06 |
| tomaraya | thoreauputic: I do now though. | 03:06 |
| karim | then I installed OS X few months later to test it | 03:06 |
| intrade | ok on cd cover it says it erses osx? | 03:06 |
| intrade | so whats minimum specs to run on mac | 03:07 |

| thoreauputic | bzbb: ouch | 03:14 |
| bzbb | thoreauputic, yeah, it filled my system drive and locked everything up | 03:15 |
| tomaraya | One question though, is there a quick way to make a link to the game? (Instead of running it from the shell?) Or do I have to find what directory it's in, and then point to that dir and then find the PNG file if I want to use the icon? | 03:15 |
| bzbb | can I just rm the log files? | 03:15 |
| tomaraya | Also, is it safe to assume that as sound works everywhere else that Neverball just doesn't support my soundcard? | 03:16 |
| === gaatmx [~gaatmx@201.137.82.240] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| thoreauputic | tomaraya: just type neverball in a terminal I'd say | 03:16 |
| thoreauputic | tomaraya: if it's in your PATH it should pop up | 03:16 |
| tomaraya | thoreauputic: Right, I understand that. | 03:17 |
| thoreauputic | tomaraya: to see where it lives, type `which neverball` | 03:17 |
| alumi1 | bzbb: dont delete the logs or something will go wrong | 03:17 |
| tomaraya | So what you're saying is that in order to make a link I do have the find out where it is, and in order to use the icon that came with it, I have to find the PNG file that came with it, correct? | 03:17 |
| thoreauputic | tomaraya: make a launcher with the command in it (right click desktop >new launcher or similar) | 03:18 |
| bzbb | alumi1, ok, so how do I deal with log files that fill my harddrive? | 03:18 |
| alumi1 | bzbb: use logrotate | 03:18 |
| tomaraya | No, I understand that. What I was asking is there a quick and dirty way to do it, or do I have to point specifically to the games path and specific the the PNG file for the icon. | 03:18 |

| tomaraya | *nod* There isn't, I had to go specifically to another directory with the PNG file for the game. | 03:19 |
| thoreauputic | tomaraya: usually a one word command suffices | 03:19 |

| goldfish | or something | 04:44 |
| TestDummy | Huh? | 04:44 |
| TestDummy | Hmm.. | 04:44 |
| linux_galor1 | TestDummy: yes | 04:44 |
| error_29 | TestDummy, you can try something called Firestarter | 04:44 |
| linux_galor1 | TestDummy: Linux has a firewall in general built in | 04:45 |
| TestDummy | And how would I goabout doing that? | 04:45 |
| error_29 | really linux_galor1 ? | 04:45 |
| TestDummy | Er.. too many replies at once >_< | 04:45 |
| error_29 | I didn't know that | 04:45 |
| linux_galor1 | error_29: talking iptables netfilter still need a shell to define the rules | 04:45 |
| cisei | TestDummy: sudo apt-get install firestarter | 04:45 |
| TestDummy | And from there? | 04:45 |
| cisei | TestDummy: then start the application and run the wizard. | 04:46 |
| nomasteryoda | guarddog is a good app to configure the firewall | 04:46 |
| error_29 | ah hah (googling iptables netfilter. Cool. Thanks) | 04:46 |
| TestDummy | Does it show up in a menu or does it have to be called up on a terminal? | 04:46 |
| fr500 | what would be a good choice to make a nat router on linux? | 04:46 |

| fr500 | do i need iptables to make nat? can kernel routing hadle it? | 04:48 |

| linux_galor1 | yeah masq/nat no brainer clicky thing in firestarter you dont actually need the firestarter UI once you have created the firewall because firestarter is in two parts a daemon and a UI....the daemon doesnt need the UI | 04:51 |

| tomaraya | Once I've mounted the floppy drive, how do I open the file in OpenOffice? | 04:52 |
| linux_galor1 | cool thing is you can copy the shellscript that firestarter creates when you run the wizard and edit a few things in the UI to your liking and put it on another machine to be run when it boots up | 04:52 |
| thoreauputic | tomaraya: just navigate to /media/floppy or whatever and open the file | 04:52 |
| tomaraya | thoreauputic: Ok. | 04:52 |
| error_29 | re Firestarter, in a previous install (I don't have it now) it drove me crazy showing constant hits. Then I realized that it was taking hits from the other computer on my lan. Doh! | 04:53 |
| error_29 | how do I change that | 04:53 |
| tomaraya | I'm just not familiar with the file structure. | 04:53 |
| linux_galor1 | error_29: you can edit the filter to not show all the none related hits | 04:53 |
| error_29 | naive question I know, but networks are second only to soundcards in confusing me | 04:53 |
| thoreauputic | error_29: hehe - windows computer? | 04:53 |
| error_29 | yes thoreauputic , how'd you guess ? ;-) | 04:53 |
| linux_galor1 | error_29: its in the menu look for preferences then click on filter and just disable all the output stuff | 04:53 |
| error_29 | thanks linux_galor1 | 04:54 |
| thoreauputic | error_29: oh, just a lucky stab in the dark ;) | 04:54 |
| FAST | anyone know of good free audio composition/effects software? there was a suite/program i was looking at the other day, but didn't remember to bookmark it :\ | 04:54 |
| linux_galor1 | error_29: yeah firestarter has a habbit of showing lots of stray garbage that has no meaning | 04:54 |
| tomaraya | thoreauputic: Strange, it just shows a bunch of files with no names. | 04:54 |
| tomaraya | I'll just copy the file over onto the desktop. | 04:54 |
| thoreauputic | error_29: winsows does this thing where it broadcasts to the lan | 04:54 |
| error_29 | "stray garbage that has no meaning" covers a lot of ground in Windows land, that's for sure, linux_galor1 | 04:55 |
| thoreauputic | error_29: I forget the service - netbios maybe? | 04:55 |
| linux_galor1 | FAST: lots of stuff like ardour or jammin | 04:55 |

| tritium | Not much. You? | 05:02 |
| linux_galor1 | shadeofgrey: you missed the point the whole idea of Ubuntu/Debian is all the packages are setup debugged and configured "for your desktop" if you download stuff and install the installers dont interface with your desktop well in many cases to icons are missing things are missing in your menu's etc ..the package manager and the packages dont just install software they configure the install too | 05:02 |

| GooseyGoose | Ubuntu is an African word, which has been described as "too beautiful to translate into English". The essence of ubuntu is that "a person is a person through other people". It describes humanity as "being-with-others" and prescribes what "being-with-others" should be all about. Ubuntu emphasises sharing, consensus, and togetherness. It's a perfect concept for Free Software and open source. Here's a great article that describes Ubunt | 05:34 |
| GooseyGoose | wow | 05:34 |

| tomaraya | neiras, I've heard of a few people having problems with it. To be honest with you I'm still switching over to Windows XP to play it. :p I'm a newb though, this is only day three or four.. as soon as I figure out how to open Word docs with OpenOffice off a floppy drive .. | 05:41 |

| compmanio36 | i love that on mac's w/ their one button mice you have to press ctrl to act as a right mouse button.......took me forever to learn that | 06:35 |
| regeya | really shocks me that modern macs still ship with one button mice...especially since they're shipping Aquafied OpenStep these days...anyway... | 06:35 |
| regeya | ever price a real apple one-button mouse, like the ones that ship with Macs? last time I checked, they were $60. | 06:35 |
| error_29 | I'm hating this "press both buttons to simulate middle click" crap. On a laptop. | 06:35 |

| shadeofgrey | whats thebest CD burning program thats graphical for ubuntu? | 07:18 |
| MoonUnitAlpha | k3b is what i use shadeofgrey | 07:19 |
| linux_galor1 | shadeofgrey: your kidding Ubuntu has a built in burner | 07:19 |
| OrangeSlice | cdrdao! | 07:19 |
| OrangeSlice | oh, wait, graphical | 07:19 |
| linux_galor1 | shadeofgrey: Nautilus the file browser can burn CD's on the fly | 07:19 |
| OrangeSlice | graveman is nice, for gnome. | 07:19 |
| OrangeSlice | k3b is very advanced, but for KDE (have to install libs) | 07:19 |
| MoonUnitAlpha | i'm just too used to using nero... | 07:19 |
| johnnybezak | k3b is like nero | 07:20 |
| linux_galor1 | naaaw Ive used ubuntu and it has a simple rig for burning it uses Nautilus as the graphical front end | 07:20 |
| johnnybezak | its pretty dam sweet | 07:20 |
| OrangeSlice | yeah k3b is the linux equivalent | 07:20 |
| linux_galor1 | yeah k3b is pretty cool but Ubuntu uses gtk desktop by default | 07:20 |
| OrangeSlice | an example of open source matching commercial software | 07:20 |
| shadeofgrey | can i do apt-get install k3b? | 07:20 |
| MoonUnitAlpha | yep | 07:20 |
| OrangeSlice | and 60mb of kdelibs :) hehe | 07:21 |
| linux_galor1 | shadeofgrey: you can but it will download about 20 packages because it uses the kde desktop | 07:21 |
| shadeofgrey | wait | 07:21 |
| shadeofgrey | if i use k3b that means i have to switch from gnome to KDE? | 07:21 |
| OrangeSlice | I'd really reccomend graveman, it's nice, easy to use, and for gnome. | 07:21 |
| johnnybezak | it wont download all the kde stuff though will it? | 07:21 |
| johnnybezak | shadeofgrey: no | 07:21 |
| MoonUnitAlpha | nah, it'll run in gnome, just has to load kde libs | 07:21 |
| OrangeSlice | kdeinit >.> | 07:21 |
| OrangeSlice | memory hog | 07:22 |
| linux_galor1 | shadeofgrey: read the Ubuntu howto on there home page you can use nautilus just drop the files on the cd | 07:22 |
| OrangeSlice | nautilus burner works great, but only does data cd's | 07:22 |
| shadeofgrey | i tried to use the nautilus thing. it crashes the whole system totally | 07:22 |
| johnnybezak | shadeofgrey: just like in explorer on windows | 07:22 |
| johnnybezak | lol | 07:22 |
| OrangeSlice | if you want audio or vcd or anything else, you're kinda screwed there. | 07:22 |
| shadeofgrey | so | 07:22 |
| linux_galor1 | there is also cdroast thats gtk | 07:22 |
| OrangeSlice | which is where apps like k3b come in | 07:23 |
| OrangeSlice | or graveman, or coaster | 07:23 |
| shadeofgrey | if i download and install k3b it WONT change my window manager from gnome at all? | 07:23 |
| OrangeSlice | or the all-powerful cdrdao console burner | 07:23 |
| OrangeSlice | no, it won't | 07:23 |
| delltony | whats a good download manager you can use with flashgot ? | 07:23 |
| shadeofgrey | can graveman do everything k3b can? | 07:23 |
| OrangeSlice | it will not install kde, only kde libraries alowing you run run kde apps in gnome | 07:23 |
| delltony | i can't get d4x or kget to work right | 07:23 |
| OrangeSlice | no, probably not. but graveman is still nice :) | 07:24 |
| shadeofgrey | i just dont want to lose my whole system... ive worked like hell to get this thing the way i want it | 07:24 |
| shadeofgrey | is there a front end i can dload for cdrdao? | 07:24 |
| OrangeSlice | lots of burning apps are secretly cdrdao frontends | 07:25 |
| johnnybezak | why not just get k3b who cares about the extra libs | 07:25 |
| OrangeSlice | k3b is a cdrdao frontend :p | 07:25 |
| OrangeSlice | well, partially | 07:25 |
| OrangeSlice | k3b uses cdrdao | 07:25 |
| OrangeSlice | but it does a lot of other things too | 07:25 |
| linux_galor1 | http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=burning§ion=projects&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 | 07:25 |

| shadeofgrey | id really like to run superrkaramba so i can get my system to look like os x | 07:26 |
| shadeofgrey | but that means totally switching to kde | 07:26 |
| johnnybezak | shadeofgrey: its a bit of a hack | 07:27 |
| johnnybezak | how come? | 07:27 |
| OrangeSlice | os x look: gnome applications panel to top of screen | 07:27 |
| linux_galor1 | hmm a good burner is one of those holes that need fixing in Ubuntu | 07:27 |
| OrangeSlice | :p | 07:27 |
| johnnybezak | the transparency isnt actually transparent | 07:27 |
| johnnybezak | it just shows the desktop | 07:27 |
| johnnybezak | to get proper os x i candy well have to wait for the damage and composite extensions to get stable | 07:28 |

| linux_galor1 | to be honest I think Microsoft is doing short term good but in the long term patents will do allot of damage because IBM has like 100 patent for every 1 Microsoft has | 07:53 |
| linux_galor1 | also the japanese have been registering patents like mad locking in the firmware layers | 07:54 |
| regeya | american business for you, though. short term gain == good! | 07:54 |

| thoreauputic | and of course you can use any apps you like | 08:18 |
| linux_galor1 | johnnybezak: just add it to the end or /etc/rc.local ie exec whatever | 08:18 |

| linux_galor1 | thoreauputic: yeah /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh seems to be about it other than linking lots of stuff in | 08:26 |
| thoreauputic | linux_galor1: the "debian way" is to add your script to /etc/init.d then use update-rc.d to make the required links | 08:27 |
| linux_galor1 | thoreauputic: aaah | 08:27 |
| thoreauputic | linux_galor1: bloody roundabout way if you ask me | 08:27 |

| thoreauputic | VR^: life is truly bleak - I feel your pain | 09:03 |
| AcidWolf | with beer and porn and all the other fun stuff | 09:04 |
| VR^ | AcidWolf, ah man i tried... it's not working | 09:04 |
| thoreauputic | VR^: yeah, the interweb is broken | 09:04 |
| cg0def | gamin sux and is way more unstable that fam and there is no one that can convince me otherwise | 09:04 |
| AcidWolf | hmmmmm | 09:04 |
| VR^ | thoreauputic, sorry, i meant to say INTERNETS | 09:04 |
| linux_galor1 | Pluk: yeah the mplayer UI is pretty but dumb......there is talk of redoing the whole thing | 09:04 |
| cg0def | I have to restart the damn thing so that my files that I just downloaded would show up | 09:05 |
| AcidWolf | whats wrong with it VR^ | 09:05 |
| AcidWolf | what did you do to it | 09:05 |
| Pluk | that good to hear linux_galor1 | 09:05 |
| cg0def | never had to do anything like that in debian | 09:05 |
| AcidWolf | :p | 09:05 |

| AcidWolf | youll be surprised | 09:07 |
| AcidWolf | :) | 09:07 |
| VR^ | i did that | 09:07 |
| VR^ | without any luck | 09:07 |
| AcidWolf | and what was the result | 09:07 |

| linux_galor1 | thoreauputic: be amazed how many people Ive sent to the Ubuntu website to register for the cd's | 09:13 |
| thoreauputic | linux_galor1: that's good - should be more of it ! | 09:13 |
| linux_galor1 | thoreauputic: then I went to install the software and they dont even have any key registration...how week is that man | 09:13 |
| Pluk | lol its already in .bashrc commeted though .. thx jdub | 09:13 |

| zyme | yeah | 09:26 |
| zyme | it does the same thing when im not root too though | 09:26 |
| linux_galor1 | VR^: if that works then all you have is a nameserver problem or your router isnt handing out the dns server number for some screwy reason | 09:26 |

| Adrenal | hey, lets play a game | 09:54 |
| Adrenal | everybody press ctrl+v | 09:55 |
| Yomic | The following is a list of important considerations regarding directories and partitions. | 09:55 |
| Yomic | The root partition / must always physically contain /etc, /bin, /sbin, /lib and /dev, otherwise you won't be able to boot. Typically 100 MB is needed for the root partition, but this may vary. | 09:55 |
| Yomic | /usr: all user programs (/usr/bin), libraries (/usr/lib), documentation (/usr/share/doc), etc., are in this directory. This part of the file system needs most of the space. You should provide at least 500 MB of disk space for a minimal installation, and at least 1.5 GB if you want to install a standard Ubuntu desktop. If you want to install more packages you should increase the amount of space you give this directory. | 09:55 |
| FlUa | i have a onboard gblan NIC on a MIS K8T neo MB | 09:55 |
| Yomic | /home: every user will put his data into a subdirectory of this directory. The size of this depends on how many users will be using the system and what files are to be stored in their directories. Depending on your planned usage you should reserve about 100 MB for each user, but adapt this value to your needs. | 09:55 |
| Yomic | /var: all variable data like news articles, e-mails, web sites, the packaging system cache, etc. will be placed under this directory. The size of this directory depends greatly on the usage of your computer, but for most people will be dictated by the package management tool's overhead. If you are going to do a full installation of just about everything Ubuntu has to offer, all in one session, setting aside 2 or 3 gigabytes of space for /var sho | 09:55 |
| linux_galor1 | Pluk: you add "set completion-ignore-case on" to /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc if you just want it for that one user | 09:55 |
| Yomic | /tmp: if a program creates temporary data it will most likely go in /tmp. 20-50 MB should usually be enough | 09:55 |

| morchuboo | Sexytiger: no - dpkg is just for deb files that you have already. Apt is used with repositores to get the debs when you do apt-get (this is what syaptic does) and apt then passes control to dpkg once it (and its dependancies are downloaded) to dpkg to install them | 04:18 |
| FEL | morchuboo, im on a t1 connection and wouldnt mind installing it via the net ... when i read the info i posted earlier it seemed like it assumed i already had debian installed or something ... | 04:19 |
| morchuboo | Sexytiger: if you have used an RPM distro before dpkg works like doing rpm -i ie. it works on local packages (only much better :)) | 04:19 |
| Sexytiger | yes, I used RH some time ago and rpm's were allways giving me problems | 04:20 |

| CountDown | gnii: What do you want to use the laptop for? | 06:59 |
| verbalshadow | hi | 06:59 |
| ironwolf | fizgig10: ASK your question about your problem. | 06:59 |
| viper12 | gnli: I'm using a compaq x1000 series machine (centrino/wifi/etc.) and ubuntu installed beautifully on it. | 07:00 |
| fizgig10 | My network goes down in about 3 minutes after I start it up | 07:00 |
| fizgig10 | I use ndiswrapper | 07:00 |
| error_29 | Yes, thank you CountDown , that I know. That's the point. Everytime I open xchat I have to do that? Is there no way for NickServ to remember for at least a reasonable amount of time? | 07:00 |

| fizgig10 | my laptop shutdown by itself last night. I turned it back on this morning and had a problem associated with the .ICE(something) file | 07:00 |
| CountDown | error_29: Oh, I don't know. I just figured that out yesterday, so let me know if you come up with anything. :) | 07:00 |
| Nonphasis | error_29, Server/Edit this menu in xchat | 07:00 |
| fizgig10 | I renamed that file and I was then able to log in | 07:00 |
| Xen0n | Is there some way I can run a debug? | 07:01 |
| Xen0n | Or some kinda of update? | 07:01 |
| fizgig10 | Now I have this new network problem | 07:01 |
| gnii | countdown: it's will mostly run openoffice and vmware as it's for our client services director. But it will also be used for devel work (postgres, python, twisted) | 07:01 |
| ironwolf | fizgig: no clue.... perhaps a wizard is in. | 07:01 |

| viper12 | gnli, are you locked into any hardware vendor for that laptop? (some companies are.) | 07:02 |
| gnii | no it's my company so we can buy anything | 07:02 |
| tolstoy_ | when you put scripts in /etc/cron.hourly, where does their output go? A script I put in there doesn't seem to have run at all. | 07:02 |
| gnii | well, within reason :-) | 07:02 |
| viper12 | the hp/compaq's and ibm thinkpads are really pretty compatible. (IBM's better be....they're dumping 100mil into opensource this year. :D ) | 07:03 |
| JDahl | Xen0n, I am not sure how helpful it would be to you, but normally you would run "strace <command|daemon>" to figure out what's wrong | 07:03 |
| viper12 | Haven't heard to many complaints about newer dell's either. | 07:03 |

| viper12 | those thinkpads are sweet. I love this compaq widescreen though. best lcd of the bunch, imho. 1280x800 | 07:03 |

| jakejarvis | anyone know how i can get the development package? | 07:30 |
| Nekohayo | Hey all, I kinda have a problem here... can't rm files on a fat drive, even as root. | 07:31 |
| JDahl | Nekohayo, the partition is probably mounted as read-only | 07:31 |
| Sinistar | what development package ? | 07:31 |
| Sinistar | for ? | 07:31 |
| Nekohayo | the problem is that it's a usb2 drive, it's being automounted to /media/sda5 | 07:32 |
| Xen0n_ | Im running mem test now | 07:32 |
| jakejarvis | i can't install openssl, i get the error: package openssl was not found in the pkg-config search path. perhaps you should add the directory containing 'openssl.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. no package 'openssl' found. i was recommended the development package by the people on ##linux | 07:32 |
| fizgig10 | woah, I just realized most links in my System->Administration menu don't work! The only ones that do aree "Device Manager" and "Printing"! | 07:32 |
| JDahl | Nekohayo, unmount it, insert it into fstab with prober permissions, replug it | 07:32 |
| Nekohayo | JDahl, besides, I was able to remove ~60% of the folders in there.. but there's ~5 folders left which will give me the read only error | 07:32 |

| JDahl | Blaubaer, I would put /home on a separate partition also... that way you dont need to backup stuff if you reinstall linux | 07:39 |

| Blaubaer | my friend is at the point to partition the disk, there should be 15 gb free, what would you suggest. | 07:40 |
| JDahl | Nekohayo, then I'm out of ideas... btw, do you need sudo if you mount it with uid, gid? | 07:40 |

| viper12 | unless you're running without gnome. | 07:40 |
| Dr_willis | with that much ram | 07:40 |

| abelli | s/wrote/written | 07:41 |

| Dr_Acemaster | no home partition | 10:34 |

| Dr_Acemaster | I'll prob have to do this whole thing over again | 10:34 |
| fr500 | but it asks for you | 10:34 |

| mseney | compmanio36, um the ubuntu machine has a built in AC97 and the other a cheap PCI ESS Allegro | 11:03 |
| mseney | compmanio36, VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 20) | 11:03 |
| mseney | i was trying to show off linux to my girlfriend but failed w/ that one | 11:04 |
| compmanio36 | integrated AC97s arent that great, but shouldnt be too bad | 11:04 |
| === kenshin is now known as heero-yuy | ||
| mseney | compmanio36, does one really need to buy a decent sound card to get really nice sound? | 11:05 |
| mseney | or is it more dependant on the speaker system? | 11:05 |
| compmanio36 | it is more based on your speakers | 11:05 |
| compmanio36 | cause the biggest problems with integrated or cheap sound cards is that the higher up in volume you go, the tinnier and more distorted the sound gets | 11:06 |
| mseney | I bought a Logitech 2.1 system 32Watts RMS they sound excellent, i really want to get the same sound from plugging them into my linxu box | 11:06 |
| compmanio36 | it's weird, I have a SoundMax card in Windows, but dual boot to Ubuntu and it comes up as an AC97 | 11:06 |
| compmanio36 | the soundmax drivers sound better | 11:06 |
| compmanio36 | but I can keep my volume about halfway and crank my speakers, cause I have an Altec-Lansing spkr/sub set | 11:07 |
| === mjg59 [mjg59@cavan.codon.org.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| cblack | hrm. anyone familiar with htaccess rewrite rules? rather than just doing a deny from <ip> i want to send that IP to a different page on the site. | 11:30 |
| mez | hmm hoe do i make the default medai playe play MP3s>? | 11:30 |
| apokryphos | or better just use a pastebin service, like www.pastebin.com | 11:30 |
| === saphari [~saphari@hlfx60-2a-208.ns.sympatico.ca] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| === mez is now known as Mez | ||
| apokryphos | Mez: you want to change the default mp3 player, or play mp3s? | 11:31 |
| Mez | just play mp3s :D | 11:31 |
| === allio [~omfg@203.184.4.93] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Mez | to test that my soundcard is right :D | 11:31 |
| unnameablePLAYER | now that is annoying... the install should automatically take car of all them stupid codecs... yes i know licsense issues | 11:31 |
| apokryphos | Mez: You can either (i) install an mp3 player like amaroK, or (ii) get the codecs. | 11:31 |
| compmanio36 | yeah, that is the only thing that gets me about Ubuntu | 11:32 |
| pam | crimsun, sources.list for amd64? | 11:32 |
| Lee__ | cool, Novell is developing the gnome wireless switcher http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?wselect | 11:32 |
| unnameablePLAYER | maybe have one package you could install that would take care of all that 3rd party stuff like divx, java, flash, etc | 11:32 |
| === Mez just installed xmms | ||
| compmanio36 | not ready out of the box when it is supposed to be "the" Linux for everyone | 11:32 |
| === jakejarvis|away [~jake@ool-44c0b7e6.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Lee__ | unnameablePLAYER: you should talk to the codec developers about that. | 11:32 |
| apokryphos | Mez: if the mp3s aren't playing you need the codecs | 11:32 |
| jakejarvis|away | question: what's the equivalent to windows "ipconfig" in ubuntu | 11:32 |
| unnameablePLAYER | ifconfig | 11:32 |
| jakejarvis|away | lol thanks! | 11:32 |
| Lee__ | jakejarvis|away: ifconfig -a | 11:32 |
| apokryphos | Mez: follow this guide: | 11:32 |
| apokryphos | %tell Mez ubusources | 11:33 |
| Pyre | Mez: http://youmortals.com/stuff/sources.list | 11:33 |
| Mez | they're playing ow with XMMS | 11:33 |
| compmanio36 | you have to go around messing with config files to get the correct repositories, then get all your packages, etc etc | 11:33 |
| unnameablePLAYER | yes, MS had to change the spelling of all those old unix apps | 11:33 |
| Lee__ | compmanio36: did you buy Ubuntu in a box? | 11:33 |
| === nan [~nan@24-205-229-93.slo-cres.charterpipeline.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Ominus | how can i install as USRobotics 5610 FaxModem PCI? | 11:33 |
| apokryphos | Mez: oh, ok, cool. | 11:33 |
| Dr_Acemaster | so when installin anything, you don't ahve to be root, since there is no root in ubuntu? | 11:33 |
| compmanio36 | no, but that is how they tote it | 11:33 |
| Mez | now - a couple of other things | 11:33 |
| === hannah [~hannah@c66-235-2-98.sea2.cablespeed.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Lee__ | Ithough there might be a boxed version out there. that'd be cool | 11:33 |
| crimsun | pam: have you joined #flood? | 11:33 |
| unnameablePLAYER | no you have to sudo | 11:33 |
| Mez | 1) will Ubuntu work with my USB sondcard (well - headset) | 11:33 |
| crimsun | Mez: yes | 11:34 |
| Mez | and 2) on the livcd it recognised my NTFS partitions - I assume I'm going to have to edit the default install to get it ro pick up thiose (please dont make me recompile the kernel) | 11:34 |
| compmanio36 | I mean, I can and DID do everything to get my system the way I want it, but if they are going to tote it as a Linux for beginners, beginners and grandparents dont want to have to mess around with config files and root commands and all that other BS | 11:34 |
| unnameablePLAYER | the sudo thing is a really novel idea, at least to me | 11:34 |
| nan | Ominus: you have to go to the Computer | System Configuration | Network menu and add your setup | 11:34 |
| unnameablePLAYER | yeah and nautilus should at least ask for passwords, users when feeling out CIFS | 11:35 |
| Lee__ | you can even add the NOPASSWD: ALL to the sudoers file and you don't need a passsword! | 11:35 |
| compmanio36 | they just want it to WORK, out of the box, and THAT is why so many people that aren't geeks or nerds, whatever you call them, stick with Windows, cause like it or not, it just WORKS (at least for a while) out of the box | 11:35 |
| Ominus | nan, sure... but it's not recognizing... | 11:35 |
| OmniColos | is there someone who knows how to setup eap-ttls on ibook/airport? | 11:35 |
| Lee__ | compmanio36: then your grandparents should use a more simplified commercial OS. | 11:36 |
| Lee__ | one that's more like an appliance than a personal computer. | 11:36 |
| schasi | compmanio36: ack. same with me, as linux seems to hate me or i am just too dumb | 11:36 |
| Nekohayo | hmm, is there a way to tell rsync to exclude hidden files? (I've read the fine manual numerous times) | 11:36 |
| unnameablePLAYER | your grandmother probably wont be bitching about not being able to play mp3s tho | 11:36 |
| nan | Ominus: you might have a driver problem then. That problem is above my pay grade unfortunately. | 11:36 |
| compmanio36 | it has nothing to do with being dumb, just your comfort level with computers | 11:36 |
| Lee__ | probably not | 11:36 |

| compmanio36 | I am not saying Ubuntu is bad, in fact it is the best distro out there right now, I think, but I think it has a ways to go until it can truly be called "the linux for everyone" | 11:37 |
| Tomcat_ | Agreed. :o | 11:37 |
| Ominus | nan, i see... that's the problem.. but i already got the drivers from USRobotics website.. and still don't work | 11:38 |

| apokryphos | There will never be a Linux for everyone ;-) | 11:38 |
| unnameablePLAYER | its a mighty big step in the right direction, I grant them that | 11:38 |
| compmanio36 | and sure my grandmother will, when she clicks on a link on her country music website and she calls me up saying it won't play | 11:38 |
| Lee__ | then buy her Windows XP media center addition and promise to come over when she opens that next email worm. | 11:38 |
| Lee__ | or find a commercial OS that's embedded and not based on wither Linux OR Windows. | 11:39 |
| Nekohayo | or to call microsh... to activate it | 11:39 |
| compmanio36 | where do you think I get most of my business from? :) | 11:39 |
| Tomcat_ | The problem is that there currently is no OS for everyone... :I | 11:39 |
| Nekohayo | mac os? | 11:39 |
| unnameablePLAYER | the main thing I miss is being able to watch video clips that stream out of those stupid popup boxes that want REAL or wmp active x controls | 11:39 |
| trust | Lee__, a bsd? | 11:39 |
| Ominus | anyone can help me installin an USRobotics WinModem? | 11:39 |
| Lee__ | OS X isn't bad. Cheaper than Windows. | 11:39 |

| Lee__ | that sounds horriblly boring. | 11:40 |
| compmanio36 | but you have to buy the $500+ Mac with it | 11:40 |
| trust | isn't mac osx l/unix based? | 11:40 |
| compmanio36 | yes | 11:40 |
| Lee__ | yeah, BSD | 11:40 |
| trust | ah | 11:40 |
| compmanio36 | Mac can't even have their own OS anymore | 11:40 |
| trust | heh | 11:40 |
| compmanio36 | but you have to admit it, MacOS Classic..........just sucked | 11:40 |
| unnameablePLAYER | Ominus, you might get more traction if you pasted the error messages or something you were getting | 11:40 |
| compmanio36 | I had more crashes and problems with that than any other OS ever | 11:41 |
| compmanio36 | now at least OSX is fairly reliable | 11:41 |
| compmanio36 | and I do like the look | 11:41 |
| Mez | anyone can help me with any of this | 11:41 |
| Mez | 1) get my USB headset working | 11:41 |
| unnameablePLAYER | its still proprietary company thats paranoid and nasty | 11:41 |
| Mez | 2) get my webcam working | 11:41 |
| Mez | 3) get my TV/Radio card working | 11:41 |
| Ominus | unnameablePLAYER well.. Ubuntu can't recognize my modem... | 11:42 |
