| Brunellus | once again: ndiswrapper 1.0 gives an "invalid module type" when loaded | 12:01 |
| Brunellus | and I don't know/can't see why | 12:01 |
| delltony | now if i could just figure out how to send the signal to my tvout card so it will pipe the screen to the tv id be all set haha i can't figure out how to get atitvout to work at all i have tried everything i can think of but no go | 12:01 |

| qlo-xael | err video capture, u know, to watch tv | 12:50 |
| Lathiat | StoffBox-Steve: so you re-made the package with --initrd, installed the new package? | 12:50 |
| Lathiat | StoffBox-Steve: if you are using a custom grub config or somethign you will need to tell it about the initrd | 12:50 |

| nictuku | no, that isn't necessary. | 12:54 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: and this is dial-up? | 12:54 |
| wk1989 | how to i change the margin in open office? | 12:54 |
| StoffBox-Steve | must is modular HrdwrBoB, and its the think ... i want do make my own .. its killing me that im not enable to get one to work ... | 12:54 |

| HrdwrBoB | you will spend hours configuring and breaking things | 12:55 |
| HrdwrBoB | that were already working | 12:55 |
| StoffBox-Steve | a spend many hours jet HrdwrBoB | 12:56 |
| dazed | once gtk gnutella is installed what menu is it under? | 12:56 |
| dazed | found it | 12:56 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: so what about your /etc/network/interfaces ??? anything about ppp in there? | 12:57 |
| nictuku | dazed menu = ~/.fluxbox/menu | 12:57 |
| StoffBox-Steve | have a link for a howto to install custom modules ?, i think when i compile the driver for nvidia and network card it just work fine :D | 12:57 |
| nictuku | marcin_ant, answered that already, no, it's not necessary to set that up. that's what /etc/ppp/peers/* for. | 12:57 |
| nictuku | there is also /etc/chatscripts/* | 12:58 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: I know - but these scripts are for "pon" | 12:58 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: and... /etc/init.d/networking | 12:59 |
| nictuku | oh yes indeed. | 12:59 |
| nictuku | well, it works for me this way :) | 12:59 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: and I would like to start my ppp connection just with any other network interfaces | 01:00 |
| dazed | nictuku how do i get tehre | 01:00 |
| nictuku | if you setup the interface in /etc/network/interfaces it will call "pon" | 01:00 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: yes but there is a problem | 01:00 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: because it works nice when system is booted | 01:00 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: but it doesn't work at all on system boot | 01:01 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: because /etc/init.d/networking script doesn't wait for ppp | 01:01 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: and it goes forward | 01:01 |
| nictuku | oh | 01:01 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: while there is no ppp connection yet | 01:01 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: I found info about debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=%23127786 | 01:02 |
| nictuku | i'm not sure, but I believe that doesn't matter. networking script's job is to call pon, not to wait for it. pon (and other scripts) will set your interface, afaik. | 01:02 |

| marcin_ant | nictuku: you got script which will fire up network interfaces and then will enable firewall | 01:04 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: and the problem is that my firewall doesn't work because there is no ppp0 yet | 01:04 |
| nictuku | hmm | 01:04 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: so after boot I need to do /etc/init.d/networking restart and /etc/init.d/[myfirewall/firestater/shorewall] restart | 01:05 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: and everything works good | 01:05 |
| nictuku | there are many workarounds possible, I presume. You can setup your ppp connection to reload your firewall after it finish connecting, for example. | 01:05 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: maybe your solution with S99internet is good | 01:06 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: but when I got /etc/network/interfaces file and /etc/init.d/networking scripts I would like to use them | 01:06 |
| dazed | hey everyone | 01:07 |
| dazed | this is a really stupid question but... | 01:07 |
| goldfish | aloha | 01:07 |
| marcin_ant | nictuku: ehh I'll try | 01:07 |
| nictuku | I don't think it would work very well either. if you call "pon isp" and then "restart firewall" it won't work. pon is asynchronous, it goes to the background. | 01:07 |
| dazed | what on gnome desktop manager (ubuntu) do i use to explore my drives and programs and folders and such | 01:07 |

| jeebers | hi, I use debian quite regularly .. thinking of trying out ubuntu.. are there any benifits at the moment over a debian install | 01:45 |
| Vjaz | The xine version especially has a problem. It won't start if I don't have my external CD drive pluged in. | 01:45 |
| crimsun | Brunellus: well, you then have to actually compile it | 01:45 |
| Greg___ | does anyone know a good network troubleshooting page for establishing your wireless connection to the internet? | 01:45 |
| crimsun | Brunellus: read the documentation in /usr/share/doc/ndiswrapper-source/* | 01:45 |
| Greg___ | i have ndiswrapper installed correctly | 01:45 |
| Greg___ | and the driver has been loaded | 01:45 |
| Greg___ | but whenever i try to connect to something or ping, or ssh | 01:45 |
| hou5ton | I just installed Ubuntu, and have to sounds, ... and saw in forums to try this: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:45 |
| hou5ton | and then add in the line of the kernel this: | 01:45 |
| hou5ton | acpi_irq_isa=7 | 01:45 |
| Vjaz | jeebers: A nicely setup Gnome desktop by default, and more recent stable packages. | 01:45 |
| hou5ton | is that still good to go? | 01:46 |
| Greg___ | it just stalls for a while, and then says it couldn't resolve the name | 01:46 |
| demonix | hmmm | 01:46 |
| fgx | Greg___, what about /etc/resolv.conf? | 01:46 |

| Brunellus | crimsun: how si compiling the ndiswrapper-source that I find in the .deb package different from compiling the daily .tgz which I've already downloaded and untarred? | 01:47 |
| fgx | Greg___, you have to put there your provider dns servers | 01:47 |
| Greg___ | where do i find those | 01:47 |
| fgx | Greg___, mmmm maybe your provider web | 01:48 |
| crimsun | Brunellus: using Debian's module-building infrastructure generates a .deb for ndiswrapper-source and your specific kernel headers | 01:48 |
| Greg___ | i'm booted in XP now, and i looked up the DNS address in the network connection details | 01:48 |
| demonix | you can use the networking gui too | 01:48 |
| Greg___ | should i just make sure that address is in it? | 01:48 |
| crimsun | Brunellus: not using that infrastructure just overwrites files haphazardly | 01:49 |
| fgx | Greg___, it is something udeful, copy dns set in xp | 01:49 |
| Brunellus | Ok. now we're getting somewhere. | 01:49 |

| jeebers | thanks vjaz.. but i've got specific configuration that wouldn't be the norm.. its not for destop use its for a kiosk type machine that just displays flash adverts from a browser.. only been able to get full screen browser working in kde using mozilla.. is it just a matter of doing a apt-get like debian to install kde or does that totally defeat the purpose of using ubuntu | 01:51 |

| fgx | Greg___, great | 01:51 |
| Greg___ | address is same for the DHCP server | 01:51 |
| fgx | Greg___, ? | 01:52 |
| Greg___ | i had tried adding that address in the DNS entry in the Networking GUI in ubuntu last night already | 01:52 |
| Greg___ | and it didn't do anything | 01:52 |
| Greg___ | any other suggestions before i reboot and double check it's listed in /etc/resolv.conf? | 01:52 |
| fgx | Greg___, wait, what happen if u ping an ip number? | 01:53 |
| jeebers | are people using kde 3.3 on ubuntu or just gnome? | 01:53 |
| Brunellus | I'll repeat my question: if I had already compiled ndiswrapper from the source tarball on the ndiswrapper website | 01:53 |
| Greg___ | in ubuntu? | 01:53 |
| fgx | Greg___, yup | 01:53 |
| Greg___ | i only tried to ping www.google.com | 01:53 |
| Greg___ | and it said couldn't resolve name, i think | 01:53 |
| fgx | Greg___, try IP first | 01:53 |
| Greg___ | when i tried to ssh into something, it said "Temporary failure in name resolution" | 01:53 |
| Brunellus | does that prevent me from downloading ndiswrapper-source.deb, unpacking it, and compiling *that* | 01:53 |
| fgx | Greg___, it is surely a /etc/resolv.conf problem | 01:54 |
| Brunellus | or or will I break anything? | 01:54 |
| demonix | im on wireless and had the same prob | 01:54 |

| crimsun | stuNNed: why would it when the keys are exchanged? that file is only modified when you, as the user, acknowledge affirmatively that you wish to add the host key | 02:01 |
| oly | okay got a bit further with ssh, it works on local machine but when making connection accross the net it gets permission denied | 02:01 |
| mseney | crimsun, that worked for the glob(3) thanks !! guess i have alot more to learn just about man pages. | 02:01 |
| oly | the port is open i did a port scan | 02:01 |
| dazed | fgx: i did what it said on that faq and it would not let me pick the recently installed style...thre was no option for it after done installing | 02:01 |

| crazydeb8r | billytwowilly: did you click send/receive? | 03:12 |
| billytwowilly | yah. | 03:12 |

| karsten | EugeneK: Otherwise, you might create an .xmodmap file and source it in your .xsession | 03:24 |

| dazed_ | how do i copy? | 03:51 |
| Brunellus | OK. I'm giving up | 03:51 |
| Quest-Master | Have you updated to today's Hoary casimir? | 03:52 |
| Quest-Master | Brunellus: What do you need help with? | 03:52 |
| Tarkus | what does sudo mean?? | 03:52 |
| Quest-Master | Don't ever give up so easily | 03:52 |
| net_benjo | did anybody have a problem installing mplayer-386 package? | 03:52 |
| Quest-Master | Tarkus: switch user do | 03:52 |
| Devinci | just edit menu, dont bother | 03:52 |
| goldfish | Tarkus: It is a command to give you temporary root priveleges. | 03:52 |
| Brunellus | Quest-Master: | 03:52 |
| Quest-Master | Usually meaning, you switch to the superuser | 03:52 |
| Brunellus | I've been trying to do this for *hours* | 03:52 |
| Quest-Master | Or administrator account | 03:52 |
| Brunellus | I built ndiswrapper 1.0 from source | 03:52 |
| AMCDeathKnight | what doi do | 03:52 |
| Quest-Master | net_benjo: Don't install mplayer from apt-get | 03:52 |
| Quest-Master | It is broken | 03:52 |
| Quest-Master | Compile it | 03:52 |
| Quest-Master | Brunellus: Yeah | 03:52 |
| Brunellus | I then did an apt-get upgrade | 03:53 |
| casimir | Quest-Master: I just did UM's version of apt-get upgrade a few hours abg | 03:53 |
| Brunellus | and an apt-get dist-upgrade | 03:53 |
| Brunellus | that presumably patched my kernel | 03:53 |
| AMCDeathKnight | xstart wont work, what else can i try to get into xsystem? | 03:53 |
| Quest-Master | And it's stable.. that's good. | 03:53 |
| AMCDeathKnight | havnt got nvidia card | 03:53 |
| Brunellus | then powered down | 03:53 |
| Quest-Master | Brunellus: Ok.. so the ndiswrapper isn't working I presume? | 03:53 |
| Brunellus | then I booted up | 03:53 |
| Brunellus | correct | 03:53 |
| Brunellus | now | 03:53 |
| Brunellus | here's the kicker | 03:53 |
| net_benjo | Quest-Master: when I first installed ubuntu (about 1 month ago) I had no problem installing it using apt-get...its only on my second ubuntu install that I'm having trouble.....did something change in the meantime??? | 03:53 |
| Brunellus | the wlan is the ONLY connectivity I have in that computer | 03:54 |
| Quest-Master | net_benjo: Yes | 03:54 |
| Brunellus | so I can't apt my way out of this fix | 03:54 |
| Quest-Master | :\ | 03:54 |
| AMCDeathKnight | xstart wont work, what else can i try to get into xsystem? | 03:54 |
| Brunellus | I have been trying to recompile ndiswrapper | 03:54 |
| crazydeb8r | If I have source for something and want to make a .deb out of it, how do I do that? | 03:54 |
| Quest-Master | And it still isn't working? | 03:54 |
| Quest-Master | crazydeb8r: check-install I believe | 03:54 |
| Brunellus | first from the same source I compiled it from to begin with. no dice "invalide module type" | 03:54 |
| AMCDeathKnight | No its not working | 03:54 |
| net_benjo | Quest-Master: thank you very much....i appreciate the tip.. | 03:54 |

| crazydeb8r | thanks | 03:57 |
| Quest-Master | They tried to keep it to one CD, so I bet that's why | 03:57 |
| dazed_ | this is what im currently doing devinci | 03:57 |
| AMCDeathKnight | how do i do that Gold? | 03:57 |
| Quest-Master | crazydeb8r: And it still isn't working? | 03:57 |

| Devinci | Just change a letter or so, that way you know you are on the right track dazed_ | 03:57 |
| tritium | I likve rhythmbox | 03:57 |
| njan | Brunellus, esp. since they obviously can't bundle the windows drivers for NDIS cards on the CD. | 03:57 |
| tritium | like | 03:57 |
| Brunellus | out of the box, the multimedia is crippled, and I needed apt to get the appropriate codecs, etc | 03:57 |
| AMCDeathKnight | gtg, please pm me with how to fix my error | 03:57 |
| Quest-Master | I like Rhythmbox a lot too | 03:58 |
| dazed_ | devinci: to use your own menu, copy this to ~/.fluxbox/menu, then edit | 03:58 |
| dazed_ | # ~/.fluxbox/init and change the session.menuFile path to ~/.fluxbox/menu | 03:58 |
| AMCDeathKnight | xstart wont work, what else can i try to get into xsystem? | 03:58 |

| dazed_ | whats that mean? | 03:58 |
| Brunellus | but they can bundle ndiswrapper! | 03:58 |
| Quest-Master | AMCDeathKnight: Tried "gdm?" | 03:58 |
| njan | Brunellus, <njan> Brunellus, there are probably very few people who could set it up off the install CD | 03:58 |
| Brunellus | I had the ndisdrivers already. I foresaw the need to use ndiswrapper, so I also backed up a tar of the most recent source | 03:58 |
| AMCDeathKnight | gmd not found | 03:58 |
| AMCDeathKnight | pm me with ideas | 03:58 |
| Quest-Master | gdm | 03:58 |
| AMCDeathKnight | really need it fixed | 03:58 |
| Quest-Master | not gmd | 03:58 |
| Quest-Master | :P | 03:58 |
| Devinci | then edit init and change session.etc to you menu location dazed_ | 03:58 |
| Brunellus | now, because I built it from source | 03:59 |
| Devinci | whixh should be .fluxbox/menu | 03:59 |

| Brunellus | njan: 100-odd kb isn't worth it? | 03:59 |
| Brunellus | ndiswrapper is *miniscule* compared with some of the crippled or generally useless stuff that goes on | 03:59 |
| njan | Brunellus, I haven't checked how big it is, but I'm guessing 100kb counts on an ubuntu CD which has to represent the entire FOSS world :) | 04:00 |
| Brunellus | we can do without one gnome game to get ndiswrapper on an install cd. | 04:00 |
| tritium | AMCDeathKnight, it would be /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you're using Hoary | 04:00 |
| dazed_ | Devinci: where is it i saved it to how do i know? | 04:00 |
| njan | Brunellus, besides, I'd hazard it's more than that when you account for having the .deb file in order to install it, too. | 04:00 |
| njan | Brunellus, besides, like I pointed out, if no-one can set it up, it's useless. | 04:00 |

| Brunellus | kernel? | 04:07 |
| goldfish | I don't know fluxbox :/ | 04:07 |
| Brunellus | I don't know. ti's the only thing that I can think of that would break ndiswrapper | 04:07 |

| tritium | Brunellus, what broke? | 04:09 |
| Brunellus | ndiswrapper won't load | 04:09 |
| dazed | Devinci: was that all the little plugins on the right? | 04:09 |
| Brunellus | "invalid module type" | 04:09 |
| tritium | Brunellus, that's in linux-restricted-modules? | 04:10 |
| Devinci | yes | 04:10 |
| Brunellus | no, tritium, I built it from the source tarball on the ndiswrapper site | 04:10 |
| tritium | Brunellus, why? | 04:10 |
| Brunellus | without ndiswrapper, I have no connectivity | 04:10 |
| Devinci | so i get that you are now able to edit you menu dazed_ ? | 04:10 |
| Brunellus | I couldn't apt-get it | 04:10 |
| tritium | Brunellus, there are ubuntu packages | 04:10 |
| Brunellus | tritium: I couldn't *get* ubuntu packages | 04:10 |
| Brunellus | I had no connectivity | 04:10 |
| Brunellus | I'm sitting at another computer now | 04:11 |
| Brunellus | the affected computer can only connect via the ndis wlan card that's in it | 04:11 |
| Brunellus | when I installed warty, I knew this | 04:11 |
| Brunellus | and so I backed-up an ndiswrapper tarball, and the necessary ndis drivers | 04:11 |
| dazed | Devinci: well i know how to edit the menu from bb4win...but im going to restart fluxbox cuz when i first edited the menu...it came up with nothing in the menu sept a basic "restart..exit...xterm" | 04:11 |

| Brunellus | oh well, he'll google it | 04:13 |
| Brunellus | anyway. I had to power that computer down sometime today | 04:13 |

| Brunellus | oh, those. as in ndiswrapper-source? | 04:14 |

| Brunellus | I'm annoyed enough to seriously contemplate backing /home to a CD | 04:21 |
| Brunellus | and reinstalling warty altogether | 04:21 |
| calc | lunitik: no, fd.o got cracked, the --force-* issue was wrt some kde packages he once created that shipped a sbin file (not dir) | 04:21 |
| casimir | oops.. I have my flags backwards | 04:21 |
| Brunellus | but then, I'm in the same fix: i'd need to build ndiswrapper to get 'net connectivity | 04:21 |
| casimir | like -u and -U on gentoo | 04:22 |
| calc | --force-* will happily unlink dirs for you to replace them with files ;) | 04:22 |
| lunitik | calc: ahh... that wouldn't happen to have contributed to him orphaning kde by chance? :P | 04:22 |
| Brunellus | and now I've learnt that I can't really upgrade anything if I do it. | 04:22 |

| Brunellus | OK, Greg; have you set a DNS server? | 04:49 |
| Greg___ | and all the packets fail to return | 04:49 |
| Greg___ | yea, i looked up the address in windows | 04:49 |

| lunitik | Greg___: thats a little different than 'can't be resolved' then, heh | 04:49 |
| Greg___ | well when i try to ssh | 04:49 |
| Brunellus | Greg: set your AP as the dns server and see what happens | 04:49 |
| Greg___ | that's the error | 04:49 |
| lunitik | Greg___: looks like you're in the same boat as Brunellus | 04:49 |
| Greg___ | "Temporary failure in name resolve" | 04:49 |
| lunitik | Brunellus: its not a DNS problem | 04:49 |

| lunitik | BobaFett: yup... if you want... add 'pciehp' and 'shpchp' to /etc/hotplug/blacklist and reboot, the errors will be gone | 06:12 |
| optish | sankito, make sure your dvddrive is at /dev/scdo | 06:13 |
| sankito | how do i see where it is? | 06:13 |
| optish | sankito, it may be a typo instead of /dev/scdo its prolly suppose to be /dev/scd0 | 06:13 |
| dazed | is that all andrewski? | 06:13 |
| BobaFett | I can't load anything, lunitik...all I get after installing and rebooting, is a black screen... =( | 06:13 |
| lunitik | BobaFett: have a livecd handy? .... | 06:14 |

| dazed | now is that file /usr/share/applications/konqueror.desktop is where its located at now right? | 06:14 |
| optish | sankito, not sure exactly but edit /etc/fstab and see what your dvd drive mount is pointing to | 06:14 |
| dazed | yes they all good | 06:14 |
| crimsun | Yomic: because there's no accessible java plugin for mozilla-firefox on amd64 | 06:15 |

| Brunellus | what annoys me is that the other night, without consulting the "right" docs, I built ndiswrapper from tarballs and got it going with no problems | 07:20 |
| crimsun | BROKEN_LADDER: after you restarted udev, does /dev/cdrom exist? | 07:20 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | woah bob2 suddenly cdrom exists. | 07:20 |
| BROKEN_LADDER | it does now.. it didn't after restarting udev, but does now. | 07:20 |
| Brunellus | that stayed up and stable for about a day and a half, before I had to power it down | 07:20 |
| Brunellus | in the meantime, I did an apt-get upgrade-dist | 07:20 |
| Brunellus | initially, I thought the upgrade-dist broke things, and I needed to fix this | 07:20 |
| Brunellus | I decided to start over again, so I formatted the partition and reinstalled warty, fresh from CD | 07:21 |
| _phate_ | I ran the reconfig tool, now do I just restart the system or just X? | 07:21 |
| Brunellus | I tried to install ndiswrapper according to the howto, and I receive the same error that I received *after* the upgrade-dist | 07:21 |
| pussfeller | whats a good wireless card that works natively? | 07:22 |
| Brunellus | so the choice I'm faced with is wipe & reinstall *again,* and build it from the tarballs | 07:22 |
| Brunellus | knowing that if I ever apt upgrade, I'll be stuck with no connectivity | 07:23 |
| Brunellus | or learn to do it The Ubuntu Way and prevent breakage altogether by not having it run in the first place. | 07:23 |
| _phate_ | pussfeller, iirc that any prism card will work. | 07:23 |
| bob2 | an important thing to remember is that people don't have to randomly update every day | 07:23 |

| Quarupt | lol | 08:09 |
| mebaran151 | so it mounted | 08:09 |
| Quarupt | it just doesnt make an icon like warty does | 08:09 |
| mebaran151 | ok | 08:09 |
| Quarupt | it put it in places | 08:09 |
| mebaran151 | you can turn that on | 08:09 |

| mebaran151 | jdub, how do you reenable that | 08:09 |
| mebaran151 | and jdub, how do you set sawfish to be my window manager | 08:10 |
| Quarupt | there is no prgram to open mdb? what about open office? | 08:10 |
| Atrophy | ok seriously, people... why is my Hoary update manager suddenly not working? | 08:10 |
| mebaran151 | I did it the ghetto way | 08:10 |
| mebaran151 | killing metacity | 08:10 |
| Atrophy | it says it can't find the repositories | 08:10 |
| mebaran151 | loading sawfish | 08:10 |
| mebaran151 | and saving the config | 08:10 |
| Atrophy | but unless they moved them in the last two days or so... | 08:10 |
| mebaran151 | but is there a more elegant way rather than doing a kill | 08:10 |
| mebaran151 | Atrophy, mine works on 64 bit | 08:10 |
| mebaran151 | hmmm | 08:11 |
| mebaran151 | what does your source list look like | 08:11 |
| mebaran151 | go to #flood and paste it | 08:11 |
| Quarupt | whats the openoffice answer to access? | 08:11 |

| sacha__ | kernel includes at /usr/src/linux/include do not match current kernel. they are versioned as "2.6.0-test7" instead of "2.6.10-3-amd64-generic". you might need to adjust your symlinks: | 08:12 |
| Atrophy | OpenOffice can | 08:12 |
| sacha__ | what is a symlink? | 08:12 |
| pauldaoust | sacha__: oh boy, I wanna answer that one | 08:12 |
| Quarupt | which openoffice app? | 08:12 |
| Quarupt | the math one? | 08:12 |
| Atrophy | any of them if memory serves | 08:13 |
| pauldaoust | sacha__: it's like what Windows calls a shortcut, only it works better :) | 08:13 |
| Atrophy | umm wait... access files | 08:13 |
| pauldaoust | sacha__: stands for 'symbolic link' | 08:13 |
| Atrophy | umm I'm not sure about the access files | 08:13 |
| punkass | hmm i dont think so...maybe the new database app in openoffice 2.0 (1.9.xx | 08:13 |
| Atrophy | all the other formats can be opened by Open Office though LOL | 08:13 |
| sacha__ | so how do i create a symlink between /usr/include and /usr/src/linux? :) | 08:13 |
| Quarupt | fuck | 08:13 |
| Quarupt | i need to do access project for my CS class due in like 20 mins | 08:14 |
| Atrophy | haha... | 08:14 |
| Quarupt | i have most of it done | 08:14 |
| Atrophy | find a windoze computer qwik! | 08:14 |
| Quarupt | yea right cheap college students cant afford the office suite | 08:14 |
| pauldaoust | sacha__: actually, I don't think you want to do that... I think you want to symlink /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test7 to /usr/src/linux | 08:14 |
| pauldaoust | sacha__: can you tell me the contents of your /usr/src directory? | 08:15 |

| Atrophy | go knock on doors until one of them does | 08:16 |
| punkass | Quarupt: looks like it does all formats but access | 08:16 |
| sacha__ | yep and i just created the dir linux/include/linux | 08:16 |
| Atrophy | hell... go knock on doors in the girls dorms | 08:16 |
| Atrophy | good way to meet new hotties | 08:16 |
| Quarupt | what about star office? | 08:16 |
| Quarupt | its a coed dorm | 08:16 |

| Atrophy | I have us.archives... so that's what the difference is | 08:19 |

| pauldaoust | sacha__: hm, that's weird.. what's weirder is that I never noticed I have no /usr/src/linux directory myself. | 08:21 |
| sacha__ | pauldaoust: no arrows at all just says 'total 8' up the top and then has the permissions, block size, date, etc.. | 08:21 |

| pauldaoust | sacha__: ah, I getcha | 08:23 |
| Atrophy | ok this time I had it not try to update itself from the net | 08:24 |
| pauldaoust | sacha__: okay, here's what you need to do. Are you a newcomer to Debian and Ubuntu? (i.e., are you comfy installing packages through apt-get or Synaptic?) | 08:24 |

| sacha__ | well i've had ubuntu for about a month - don't use it much though | 08:25 |

| Atrophy | KDE didn't appear either | 08:26 |
| sacha__ | pauldaust: what do i need to install? | 08:26 |
| Atrophy | I installed it using Synaptic | 08:26 |
| Atrophy | so it should've worked | 08:26 |
| pauldaoust | sacha__: okay. So what you want to do is rmdir /usr/src/linux and then install... let's see... one sec :) | 08:26 |
| pauldaoust | sacha__: you should try Synaptic in the 'Computer > System Configuration' menu. It's a real treat compared to apt-get. | 08:27 |

| pauldaoust | mebaran151: no worry, it was a poor attempt at a geek joke :) | 08:44 |
| mebaran151 | haha | 08:45 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: I'm wondering about the same thing myself, actually | 08:45 |
| Atrophy | Send complaints to /dev/null. | 08:45 |
| mebaran151 | heheh | 08:45 |
| Atrophy | oh here's the best geek joke of all | 08:45 |
| pauldaoust | daniels seems to have the answer, but seems also to have left | 08:45 |
| pauldaoust | :) | 08:45 |
| mebaran151 | yeah | 08:45 |
| mebaran151 | he probably does | 08:45 |
| Atrophy | There are only 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary, and those that don't. | 08:45 |
| mebaran151 | probably some sysctl thing | 08:45 |
| pauldaoust | ho ho ho. | 08:45 |
| mebaran151 | that will break up stuff | 08:45 |
| mebaran151 | Atrophy, I never heard THAT one before | 08:46 |
| Atrophy | WOOT!!! It finished installing!!! | 08:46 |
| Atrophy | ok now I get to go fix stuph!!! | 08:46 |
| lunitik | Atrophy: Binary is pretty easy... hex on the other hand? I don't think I'll ever get that down pat | 08:46 |
| Atrophy | lol hex is fun | 08:49 |
| Atrophy | especially if you're working with HTML colors | 08:49 |
| Atrophy | BTW that's the best way to learn your hex | 08:49 |
| Atrophy | and please... always practice safe hex | 08:50 |
| mebaran151 | pauldaoust, do this | 08:50 |
| mebaran151 | sudo hdparm -I [drive name here] | 08:50 |
| Atrophy | ok someone else pull up their repositories and tell me where the URL points to | 08:50 |
| mebaran151 | I am a octal man all the way | 08:50 |
| mebaran151 | 012 | 08:50 |
| Atrophy | that one didn't work | 08:50 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: hah, that's just what I found myself, only it was sudo hdparm -d1 [drive name here] | 08:50 |
| mebaran151 | hmm | 08:50 |

| === excesspwr [~excesspwr@excesspwr.pcisys.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: in typical UNIX man style, I don't get much info when I go 'man hdparm'... do you think hdparm saves settings in a persistent way; i.e., does your HD still stay in DMA mode when you restart the 'puter? or wait... it actually flips a bit inside the HD controller? | 08:53 |
| pvh | What's the name of a panel applet I can use to monitor how full my partitons are? | 08:53 |

| mebaran151 | pauldaoust, nope | 08:53 |
| mebaran151 | you get to set it in hdparm.conf | 08:53 |
| Atrophy | please peeples... | 08:53 |
| Atrophy | pull up your repositories lists | 08:54 |
| Lathiat | Atrophy: What are you looking for? | 08:54 |
| pauldaoust | pvh: you can use the system monitor applet... it won't tell you directly, but if you right-click the applet, and go 'Open System Monitor', the partitions (and their free space) will be listed on the last tab of the window that pops up. | 08:54 |
| mebaran151 | so if you know what you want to pass | 08:54 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: so it is persistent, through virtue of hdparm.conf? | 08:54 |
| mebaran151 | you just tell hdparm.conf to do it | 08:54 |
| mebaran151 | well you have to write hdparm.conf | 08:54 |
| lunitik | Atrophy: I'm averaging about 512 down from archive.ubuntu.com... probably not the mirror... | 08:54 |

| mebaran151 | nitricz | 08:56 |
| mebaran151 | as much as we can | 08:56 |
| lunitik | Atrophy: maybe issue with your apt... even clicking that goes to the site for me :/ | 08:56 |
| mebaran151 | though we arent the greatest guys in the word | 08:56 |
| nitricz | I'm having a hard time getting it to recognize my processor and my video card | 08:56 |
| nitricz | any suggestions? | 08:56 |
| Atrophy | ok... umm what would it be about my apt? | 08:56 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: so yer saying that using the 'hdparm' command only changes settings in your current environment, and the settings disappear unless you also put them into /etc/hdparm.conf? | 08:56 |
| lunitik | nitricz: what processor? smp? what video card? | 08:56 |
| mebaran151 | yeah | 08:56 |
| mebaran151 | read the hdparm.conf file | 08:56 |
| mebaran151 | /etc/hdparm.conf | 08:56 |
| mebaran151 | it is good night reading | 08:57 |
| lunitik | Atrophy: can you click that link and have it work? | 08:57 |

| mebaran151 | if you know how to do it from command line | 08:57 |
| mebaran151 | you just basically repeat it there | 08:57 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: you're not kidding. what a bunch of chicken scratches... I've looked through X server configs that were tidier than this :) | 08:57 |
| Atrophy | and you're right, cause I can ping the place just fine | 08:57 |
| Atrophy | and I'm on a kvm but yes I can go to that URL on the other computer | 08:57 |
| lunitik | nitricz: wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto for nvidia help | 08:57 |
| mebaran151 | X server configs are NICE man | 08:57 |
| mebaran151 | I mean | 08:57 |
| lunitik | nitricz: how do you mean its not recognizing your processor though? | 08:57 |
| mebaran151 | compared to most complex config files | 08:57 |

| mebaran151 | I love XML | 09:01 |
| mebaran151 | why doesnt every package use xml | 09:01 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: heh, yeah. I struggled for weeks myself in postfix, trying to get mail transport working (both so I could use my home computer as my domain's MX server, and so I could test out PHP scripts that used sendmail to send messages)... no joy. I did get it working in Gentoo, but the same config in Ubuntu never worked. | 09:01 |
| mebaran151 | for that kind of config | 09:01 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: I know what you mean... I guess it's because XML parsers are too heavy in most people's eyes | 09:01 |
| mebaran151 | yeah | 09:01 |
| mebaran151 | I guess | 09:01 |
| mebaran151 | postfix aint no anorexic though | 09:02 |
| pauldaoust | heh | 09:02 |
| mebaran151 | Gaim does it pretty well | 09:02 |
| mebaran151 | I hate gconf | 09:02 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: you do?? | 09:02 |
| mebaran151 | gconf is my nightmare registry | 09:02 |
| mebaran151 | I like it in that it is the registry | 09:02 |
| nitricz | I stand corrected it does have it under cpu info | 09:02 |
| mebaran151 | but it is so windowsy | 09:02 |
| EndGame | how would ubuntu run as a server? | 09:02 |
| EndGame | any experience | 09:02 |
| EndGame | do hippies even run servers? | 09:03 |
| mebaran151 | have you ever done a Debian server | 09:03 |
| mebaran151 | Ubuntu would do fine | 09:03 |
| EndGame | ah | 09:03 |
| mebaran151 | just do a custom install | 09:03 |
| EndGame | good | 09:03 |
| EndGame | very good | 09:03 |
| mebaran151 | strip all the unnecessary garbage | 09:03 |
| pauldaoust | EndGame: I have it run as a test server at home, and it's wonderful. one problem is I could never get sendmail to work with my PHP scripts. | 09:03 |
| lunitik | mebaran151: wait, you like it because its a registry... but dislike it because its like windows? | 09:03 |
| EndGame | can i ssh to the computer during the install, its headless and shoved behind a desk | 09:03 |
| lunitik | I'm confused | 09:03 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: sorry for coming to you like a little puppy again, but... do I want write caching turned on or off on my hard drive? :P | 09:03 |
| mebaran151 | write caching | 09:03 |
| mebaran151 | haha | 09:03 |
| mebaran151 | nah | 09:03 |
| pauldaoust | EndGame: hmmmmmmmm... no, the installer doesn't let you SSH | 09:03 |
| mebaran151 | this stuff is weird | 09:03 |
| Atrophy | ok umm exact URL of someone's apt sources plz | 09:04 |
| neom | Ubuntu also seems to handle load very well. So it manages quite well in a high load server environment. | 09:04 |
| EndGame | can i do an automated install | 09:04 |
| pauldaoust | nah, as in leave it off, or turn it on? | 09:04 |
| mebaran151 | no | 09:04 |
| EndGame | i mean | 09:04 |
| mebaran151 | turn it on | 09:04 |
| Atrophy | I'm getting 404 no matter what I put in there | 09:04 |
| mebaran151 | it is good | 09:04 |
| EndGame | i think ill try it | 09:04 |
| EndGame | gentoo will take all week to install | 09:04 |
| lunitik | Atrophy: dude... DEFAULT is 'http://archive.ubuntu.com' | 09:04 |
| mebaran151 | write chaching is very good | 09:04 |
| EndGame | and i dont have that kinda time | 09:04 |
| mebaran151 | as long as you dont kill it | 09:04 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: kill the computer's power, you mean? | 09:04 |
| mebaran151 | yeah | 09:04 |
| mebaran151 | in 99 percent of history | 09:04 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: eh, I've got a journalling filesystem, should be okay | 09:04 |
| mebaran151 | write caching should be fine | 09:05 |
| mebaran151 | yeah | 09:05 |
| mebaran151 | but write caching can get a tad a lost | 09:05 |
| Atrophy | default no workie | 09:05 |
| mebaran151 | but you have to time your hammer JUST RIGHT | 09:05 |
| pauldaoust | and I'm used to Windows, so I think I'll be okay with write caching :) | 09:05 |
| Atrophy | any idea why? | 09:05 |
| mebaran151 | I hate gconf | 09:05 |
| mebaran151 | just because KDE does it better | 09:05 |
| mebaran151 | it is a fine framework to store settings | 09:05 |
| lunitik | Atrophy: paste your sources.list to pastebin | 09:05 |
| mebaran151 | but they shoudl build a better gui for a lot of the settings | 09:05 |
| mebaran151 | like every gconf setting should hae an app that would be able to edit it | 09:06 |

| mebaran151 | then my fears are allayed | 09:10 |
| mebaran151 | I never really took the time to research it | 09:10 |
| pauldaoust | neom: you got Hula working? any special stuff you needed to do to make it work, or did it work great out of CVS? | 09:10 |
| mebaran151 | as long as I dont need a tool to fix it | 09:11 |
| mebaran151 | other than nano or vim | 09:11 |
| mebaran151 | I think it is good | 09:11 |
| Atrophy | ok this is bizarre... | 09:11 |
| pauldaoust | mebaran151: yep, all XML goodness, broken into multiple files and directories, unlike the Windows registry, which is just five big hives. | 09:11 |
| Atrophy | I figured it out... it was trying to use hoary-updates, which there is no such thing | 09:11 |
| mebaran151 | yeah | 09:11 |
| Quarupt | anyone know when gaim is adding webcam support? | 09:11 |
| pauldaoust | neom: I'm thinking of trying it myself. | 09:11 |
| Atrophy | I told it to use hoary-security and now it works | 09:11 |
| mebaran151 | I never figured out the windows reg stuff at all | 09:11 |
| mebaran151 | I just gave up | 09:11 |
| Atrophy | stupid synaptic... | 09:11 |
| mebaran151 | isnt like I could rewrite it | 09:11 |
| mebaran151 | Quarupt, as soon as you write the support in | 09:11 |
| lunitik | Atrophy: comment that line too... its useless at present | 09:11 |
| mebaran151 | XML is nice | 09:12 |
| neom | pauldaoust - Bar a few dependencies, it ran quite nicely. I've heard a lot of people have problems with it. I didn't find it too bad. I had a few hassles with postfix (eg I forgot to turn it off). But apart from that it was good. | 09:12 |
| pauldaoust | Quarupt: there are still a lot of dependency issues with gaim's video-and-voice branch, especially with Ubuntu, so it'll be a while yet. Lots of dependencies on SIP libraries and stuff. | 09:12 |
| Quarupt | well shit its the most active sourceforge project with over 40 people working on it, ya would think it would be there allready | 09:12 |
| Atrophy | comment what ine? | 09:12 |
| mebaran151 | Quarupt, it is a big thing | 09:12 |
| EndGame | i want to install ubuntu on a raid array | 09:12 |
| pauldaoust | neom: ooooooo, you have to turn postfix off?!? | 09:12 |
| mebaran151 | to add to add voice and sound | 09:12 |
| lunitik | Atrophy: the line stating hoary-security | 09:12 |
| Atrophy | ahh | 09:12 |
| neom | pauldaoust - Or use a diffrent port. | 09:13 |
| pauldaoust | eep. and I got it working (almost the way I like too). | 09:13 |
| mebaran151 | EndGame, what kind of raid | 09:13 |
| lunitik | Atrophy: it contains _nothing_ at present | 09:13 |
| Atrophy | I think it's deleted because I changed it using Synaptic | 09:13 |
| pauldaoust | oh, suppose I could do that, neom | 09:13 |
| neom | pauldaoust - I just don't use postfix, so I was ok to turn it off. | 09:13 |
| mebaran151 | I recommend Linux software LVM | 09:13 |
| mebaran151 | easy partition management | 09:13 |
| mebaran151 | and the raid in software is very good | 09:13 |

| Atrophy | anyways I'm gonna go to bed keep it real y'all | 09:13 |
| pauldaoust | neom: yeah, I have a weird setup with maildirs and an IMAP server on my home computer. | 09:13 |

| lunitik | Quarupt: you are asking what package gaim is in? orrr? | 09:16 |
| Quarupt | is it python/tkl or maybe c or what? | 09:16 |
| lunitik | Quarupt: C | 09:17 |
| Quarupt | okay | 09:17 |
| Quarupt | loThats what i figured | 09:17 |
| neom | It's based on the netmail code, it's diffrent though iirc. | 09:17 |
| punkass | i should just be able to install ubuntu on to the empty partition it will find my xp and add it to grub and all is well? | 09:17 |
| Quarupt | Is chatzilla any good? | 09:17 |
| lunitik | Quarupt: no | 09:17 |
| trust | Quarupt, I prefer xchat | 09:17 |
| trust | although telnet is a great irc client | 09:18 |
| lunitik | Quarupt: at least not the one for regular mozilla... firefox plugin looks ok, but never tried it | 09:18 |
| Quarupt | okay | 09:18 |
| Quarupt | I am using Xchat | 09:18 |
| lunitik | trust: not really... lack of security on irc is a bad thing | 09:18 |
| Quarupt | but i want to change my ctcp replies and when i change em in the app provided it doesnt work | 09:18 |
| trust | lunitik, =( | 09:18 |
| trust | lunitik, but it's still good to use =( | 09:19 |

| GammaRay | did I mention 64 bit makes pigs fly? | 09:44 |
| HrdwrBoB | monoxide: because they are fast | 09:44 |
| cafuego | HrdwrBoB: Also for a novice, with one or two pointers (which are in the amd64 faq) | 09:44 |
| monoxide | HrdwrBoB, how much faster? | 09:44 |

| thoreauputic | and put fbsetbg /path/to/background.png | 10:16 |
| thoreauputic | on that line | 10:16 |

| dazed | i know | 10:16 |

| Skid | is there a work-around? | 11:28 |
| thoreauputic | you can install the "menu" package, and run update-menus | 11:28 |
| thoreauputic | I haven't tried it - I just do it manually | 11:29 |
| Skid | is there a way to enable the debian menus too ? | 11:29 |

| JaeRune | Well, my computer has two sound cards. One is the default on-board I'm no longer using and have summarily disabled in the BIOS. The second is my SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 that's in a PCI slot. Ubuntu has picked up the drivers for both and made the useless on-board my default. Any way to change that and/or remove it's knowledge of the on-board? | 11:42 |
| Lathiat | JaeRune: you could add its mdoule to /etc/hotplug/blacklist | 11:42 |
| Lathiat | we really need some way of setting the default card | 11:42 |
| JaeRune | That would really help, yeah. | 11:42 |
| JaeRune | Same thing with graphics cards. | 11:42 |
| JaeRune | It's got the right idea "You have an nVidia". Bully. But it's given me generic nVidia drivers. nVidia lets me compile drivers for it in recovery mode, but then I don't know how to tell Ub to use my drivers instead. | 11:43 |
| Skid | hm, how do people get like completely transparaent terminals? so it looks as if some ls output or whatever is on the desktop? | 11:43 |
| Lathiat | ubuntu includes nvidia drivers in packages | 11:43 |
| Lathiat | you need the nvidia-glx package, and then make sure you have the linux-restricted-modules package for your kernel version | 11:44 |
| Lathiat | and then just change your Xorg conf to use nvidia | 11:44 |

| Tomcat_ | gilles: warty is still in development... you are taking a huge risk already installing it. | 12:44 |
| Tomcat_ | gilles: Eh.. make that hoary. | 12:44 |
| selinium_ | gilles: I have just switch from warty to hoary and have found no problems. (my two penneth worth) | 12:45 |
| Tomcat_ | gilles: Packages might break, applications might crash, the system might not work. It might also work well, but nobody can guarantee that. | 12:45 |
| fgx | selinium_, laptop or desktop? | 12:45 |
| Tomcat_ | gilles: If you only need scim sometimes, you might want to try the hoary LiveCD. | 12:46 |
| selinium_ | fgx: desktop. an old athlon 900 based machine | 12:46 |
| gilles | Tomcat_: i don't want to use LiveCD... actually, i'm just fed up of debian "testing" | 12:46 |
| fgx | selinium_, do you have new features? which one? | 12:47 |
| Tomcat_ | gilles: You can see if there's a hoary backport to warty of scim. Or you can compile it yourself. | 12:47 |
| selinium_ | fgx: I am fairly new to linux. About 2 weeks now. If you tell me how to get info i will look | 12:48 |
| fgx | selinium_, all hardware has been detected at install? | 12:48 |
| gilles | Tomcat_: i'm not gonna compile anything... if you tell me that hoary is stable enough, then i'll reinstall ubuntu with hoary | 12:48 |
| Tomcat_ | gilles: Hoary is *not* stable enough. The question is if you absolutely need the new version of scim, and how you can get it in warty. | 12:49 |
| selinium_ | fgx: yep including old tv card which i am trying to install drivers for. Only i dont know the file structure weell enough! | 12:49 |
| selinium_ | fgx: the only thing i needed to do was install Nvidia drivers | 12:50 |
| selinium_ | Does anyone know how this translates on Ubuntu? 'make KDIR=/path/to/kernel/source/tree' | 12:50 |
| gilles | Tomcat_: does it take a lot of time for packages to go from hoary to warty ? All packages look quite old in warty, like fontforge : june 2004 for warty, and december 2004 for hoary | 12:53 |
| Tomcat_ | gilles: warty only gets security updates, no new packages. Except backports, but those are unofficial. | 12:54 |
| gilles | Tomcat_: if hoary is equivalent to testing, i'd prefer to use hoary than warty | 12:54 |
| Tomcat_ | gilles: 2nd half of 2004 is *not* old. :) | 12:54 |
| KING^^^ | hello all , please help me someone , my music runs too fast , in XMMS in XINE in everything , how can i fix it ? | 12:54 |
| Tomcat_ | gilles: hoary is equivalent to unstable, not testing. warty is testing. | 12:54 |
| gilles | Tomecat_: so when packages are renewed in warty ? | 12:55 |
| === KING^^^ is zback ... | ||
| gilles | Tomecat_: only every 6 months ? | 12:55 |
| Tomcat_ | gilles: Again... warty packages are *not* renewed... they only get security updates. | 12:55 |
| AlfaWolph | if i install warty now will it be easy to upgrade to hoary | 12:56 |
| gilles | Tomcat_: and will never be renewed ? | 12:56 |
| Tomcat_ | gilles: Exactly. The usual thing you'd do is to switch to hoary in April, when it's final. Then you get new packages. | 12:56 |

| suzyq | Loiosh: so, after fixmbr, and fixboot, grub will not be the bootmanager. | 06:11 |
| apokryphos | dazed: you mean command? It's cp | 06:11 |
| Loiosh | That's correct. It'll remove Grub from the boot sector | 06:11 |
