| lok | right click on the package | 12:38 |
| stazich | i think it is compiling now... i ran a dpkg filename ... and arguments command.. it gave me lots of writing in term and is still doing something although writing now if comes isnt senseable... like its thinking heavily... supopose it is the compile process | 12:39 |

| agueybana | how can one delete a previous bootloader? I removed all partitions from my second harddrive...but when I try to boot from it, it still has an outdated (but now non-fuctioning) bootloader on it | 12:41 |
| ermo | stazich, easy man. try ctrl+alt+f1 | 12:41 |
| lok | blizah, in this case this is your apt source which don't have the latest version | 12:41 |
| bob2 | agueybana: you don't delete | 12:41 |
| lok | you have a ubuntu warty ? | 12:41 |
| bob2 | agueybana: you install another one over it | 12:41 |
| agueybana | i don't delete? | 12:41 |
| agueybana | well | 12:42 |
| agueybana | that's the problem | 12:42 |
| agueybana | i can't seem to install ubuntu GRUB on my second harddrive | 12:42 |
| ermo | agueybana, you need to zero out the first 448 bytes of your /dev/hda (if you zero out the whole 512 bytes in the mbr, you ruin your partition table as sell) | 12:42 |
| ermo | agueybana, as well, even. | 12:42 |
| agueybana | i don't want to touch /dev/hda | 12:42 |
| gurran | who do i start the tightvncserver ? =S | 12:42 |
| agueybana | i want to deal with /dev/hdb | 12:42 |
| ermo | agueybana, i'd advise you read double-check the numbers, though. | 12:42 |
| agueybana | i want to leave /dev/hda purely for windows partitions | 12:42 |
| |QuaD|_ | where can i find linux-headers-2.6.10-2 headers? | 12:42 |
| ermo | agueybana, then /dev/hdb then | 12:42 |
| agueybana | i did that | 12:43 |
| agueybana | Ubuntu wouldn't load | 12:43 |
| agueybana | it would give me error | 12:43 |

| agueybana | also gave no success | 12:43 |
| agueybana | so i'm trying to install ubuntu on /dev/hdb and install NO bootloader. | 12:43 |
| agueybana | that way, just Linux boots...i'd rather use bios to switch between OS | 12:43 |
| ermo | agueybana, suppososing that your bios is set to boot from the correct harddrive, it should be doable | 12:43 |
| agueybana | it is | 12:44 |
| agueybana | i have it set to booting from HDD 1 | 12:44 |
| agueybana | instead of HHD0 | 12:44 |
| ermo | agueybana, ... and grub won't load? | 12:44 |
| agueybana | well, grub would load | 12:44 |
| agueybana | the menu would shhow | 12:44 |
| stazich | ok, is there an easy way to eject a cd? i currently do it through starting cd player and pressing eject | 12:44 |
| stazich | ;-) | 12:44 |
| agueybana | but then it would say "file not found" when I pressed enter on Ubuntu | 12:44 |
| lok | stazich, use the command eject | 12:44 |
| agueybana | this has happened 3 times with different Linux distros | 12:44 |
| gurran | who do i start the tightvncserver ? =S | 12:44 |
| agueybana | i frankly distrust the bootloaders | 12:44 |
| agueybana | sometimes they work | 12:44 |
| agueybana | sometimes they fuck up stuff | 12:45 |
| blizah | lok mind i asking you how i have my apt source have the latest version? | 12:45 |
| lok | or eject -t to insert ... I love this command :) | 12:45 |

| ermo | agueybana, how about making an entry in your boot.ini file on your windows nt (derived) partition? | 12:46 |

| agueybana | GOOD IDEA! | 12:46 |
| blizah | or wait for stable hoary | 12:46 |
| agueybana | that would preclude the need for Linux based bootloaders | 12:46 |
| blizah | well since im new to linux ill stay with the stable for now | 12:46 |
| stazich | how long does it take to compile an app? its been on for about 5-10 min already for this mplayer imtrying to build... | 12:47 |
| agueybana | but...even for that, I need to learn how to "flush out" all data from HDB, because right now, there is an old, broken bootloader on it | 12:47 |
| blizah | so ubuntu users have to wait every 6 months to use the new version of things? | 12:47 |

| agueybana | but there still seems to be some "boot" data on it | 12:47 |
| ermo | agueybana, like I said, zero out the drive. like so "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdx size=448 count=1" | 12:48 |

| agueybana | ermo, how do I do that? | 12:48 |
| blizah | well what about security fixes... | 12:48 |
| agueybana | is there an easier way? An ISO image utility that I can burn onto a CD to do it for me? | 12:48 |

| hawke_ | Weems: It's in the package mbr | 12:49 |
| drspin | because I used the wrong login too many times... | 12:49 |
| ermo | agueybana, but you still need to install a bootloader on /dev/hdb -> if you don't, the nt bootloader will just dump you n bytes into the mbr on /dev/hdb where the bootloader is supposed to be. But you just wrote zeroes there. | 12:49 |
| lok | stazich, a compilation it's ./configure && make && make install most the time | 12:49 |
| lok | but it's also error msgs ;) | 12:49 |
| bob2 | drspin: you don't need to enable it | 12:49 |
| agueybana | My goal from now on is to keep all HDA partitions to be Windows, with Windows booting solely on it (if Bios is set to it FIRST). Then, put Linux on HDB completely, and make it the sole OS there. That way, the bootloaders don't corrupt the other OS's boot procedure | 12:49 |

| Tannenbaum | lok any clue? | 12:59 |
| ermo | gurran, ... but doesn't vino work for you? | 12:59 |
| lok | Tannenbaum, you can't mount the partition that's it | 12:59 |

| delltony | i think i'm on 2.6.10-4-686 | 02:39 |
| mseney | delltony, synaptic says i have Linux 2.6.10-5-686 but uname says I have -4? | 02:39 |
| delltony | let me check mine | 02:39 |
| mseney | k | 02:39 |
| siimo | mseney, maybe you are running -4 but you do have -5 | 02:40 |
| mseney | siimo, it didn't make an entry in the /boot/grub/menu.1st | 02:40 |
| delltony | i'm running 4 | 02:40 |
| arbeck | johnwl: i don't want to install k3b because of all the qt stuff i'd have to grab | 02:40 |
| Quarupt | whats the easiest way to mount a usb drive? | 02:40 |
| siimo | mseney, not sure if you can have both though thought -5 was a update to -4 | 02:40 |
| arbeck | arbeck: i've written some python scripts to burn audio cd's... but as of right now i'm not able to burn a data cd | 02:41 |
| siimo | mseney, what does this say: dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 02:41 |
| mseney | siimo, ii linux-image-2. 2.6.10-19 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.10 on 386 | 02:41 |
| mseney | ii linux-image-2. 2.6.10-25 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.10 on PPr | 02:41 |
| mseney | ii linux-image-68 2.6.10-5 Linux kernel image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/ | 02:41 |

| wavefunction | utsav_, Anyway, thanks for your time. :) | 03:38 |
| johnwl | Quarupt: try this site http://linux-sound.org/ddj.html | 03:38 |
| LinuxJones | johns_, chmod -R | 03:38 |
| utsav_ | wavefunction , Ididn't have to recompile the kernel | 03:38 |
| Quarupt | utsav_, are those just for editing or creating? | 03:38 |
| johnwl | thx guys | 03:39 |
| hank | I'd like good music software too quarupt | 03:39 |
| utsav_ | both | 03:39 |
| LinuxJones | johns_, sorry that was for johnwl chmod -R | 03:39 |
| utsav_ | utsav, audacity does editing, rosegarden can do some composing | 03:39 |

| equex | Really cool | 03:39 |
| utsav_ | I have a question.. I can't get my alps touchpad to work like a touchpad.. works fine as a mouse.. It looks like the kernel can't find it to be an alps when I do cat /proc/bus/input/devices.. It shows ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse. Any ideas? | 03:40 |
| equex | You can find the solution here www.peoplesprimary.com/FreedomIsntFree | 03:40 |
| utsav_ | Iknow it's an alps 'cause windows says it is | 03:40 |
| utsav_ | but I'm stuck on this one | 03:40 |
| rommer | am i able to get to 'Network Settings' without being root/administrator? | 03:40 |

| bob2 | neom: ? it's one filesystem | 03:43 |

| === Quarupt [~Quarupt@c-67-170-1-214.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| Blackice1963 | lol | 04:29 |
| hank | serious! no networking I take it | 04:29 |
| pussfeller | yeah it boots pretty fast to the login screen | 04:30 |
| Fr0d0 | my xp with networking boots in 17 seconds | 04:30 |
| silversurfer | you time it? | 04:30 |
| hank | Thats rather quick. Mine must be cluttered with crap. Tough I suppose it must be around that. | 04:30 |
| johnwl | so you can access your spyware really quickly :) | 04:30 |
| Fr0d0 | but...I still prefer linux, because the hackers are targeting xp | 04:30 |

| johnwl | I ditched win2k completely..first to SUSE 9.2 (very good) then to Ubuntu (awesome) | 04:31 |
| pussfeller | it will be interesting to seew how well linux holds up as it gets into the hands of more and more clueless users like windows is | 04:31 |
| Fr0d0 | but the security is becoming better for xp all the time, I use AVF virus prot with adaware se and I find it is very very stable | 04:32 |
| hank | As long as it remains free!! | 04:32 |
| johnwl | I've installed Ubuntu for two barely capable users and they are doing pretty good | 04:32 |
| mumak | Does the subversion package on ubuntu require sysadmin to write wrapper scripts to set the umask, the way debian does? | 04:32 |
| hank | Yeah ubuntu would have to be the most simple yet. Apart form the crazy arse live distros | 04:32 |
| pussfeller | kubuntu? is that the kde based version | 04:32 |
| johnwl | hell, I'm barely capable :) | 04:32 |
| silversurfer | i dont understand how people get spyware... i havent had one thing of spyware on my machine in over 2 years... are you seriously still using IE? | 04:32 |
| johnwl | pussfeller: yep | 04:33 |
| Fr0d0 | if linux still continues with its damn distro wars, it will shoot itself in the foot, MS is comiing out with its next versions and linux will take a lump | 04:33 |
| hank | you don't need ie to get spyware | 04:33 |
| pussfeller | i have seen so many windows machines utterly unusable die to spyware | 04:33 |

| johnwl | you could put a windows box in a safe, unplugged, no networking, and the spyware faries would still visit | 04:34 |

| pussfeller | the start up in the reg | 04:35 |
| silversurfer | thats a nice little hosts file that prevents a lot of spyware from getting to you | 04:36 |
| Fr0d0 | umm, to be honest, if you get spyware in xp its just cuz you dont have a clue...I have reloaded linux because of faulty distros more than I ever did with xp | 04:36 |
| johnwl | yeah thats true but 90% of computer users dont, and may never, have a clue | 04:36 |
| hank | Oh, well I guess I don't have a clue. What's your cluefull secret Frodo? | 04:36 |

| pussfeller | i got paid last week to show how to add an attachemnt to an email | 04:36 |

| Dr_willis | the installer is text based. | 05:15 |
| xed | Dr_willis: I had it installed earlier | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | shouldent matter. | 05:15 |

| xed | instead of pressing enter, I type in something else, and it worked. | 05:15 |

| mebaran151 | if you reomve them | 05:32 |
| mebaran151 | unistall them with synaptic or apt | 05:32 |

| johnwl | xed: how? | 05:32 |
| xed | in the manual | 05:32 |
| xed | johnw1: I feel like a moron.. | 05:32 |
| mebaran151 | the update-grub script takes care of the rest | 05:32 |
| kerframil | xed: which was? | 05:32 |
| tims | that sounds great | 05:32 |
| xed | johnwl: "linux vga=771" | 05:32 |
| mebaran151 | so just find the kernels you dont want | 05:32 |
| mebaran151 | if you want to have the kernel available | 05:33 |
| mebaran151 | but dont want to boot it | 05:33 |
| mebaran151 | you have to manually edit it yourself | 05:33 |

| mebaran151 | XF86Keys dont even work at all on my logitech keyboard | 05:33 |

| mebaran151 | you would edit | 05:33 |

| regeya_ | really. | 05:33 |
| mebaran151 | /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:34 |
| mebaran151 | but just uninstall the kernel | 05:34 |
| mebaran151 | you probably dont have any use for an unbootable kernel | 05:34 |
| regeya_ | before I was a ubuntu user, I had no trouble with XF86Keys with my logitech kbd | 05:34 |
| mebaran151 | taking 50 mbs of hdd space | 05:34 |

| rommerUB | is mozilla firefox 1.0.1 available from apt-get? | 05:35 |
| mebaran151 | does it automagically work | 05:35 |
| tims | so should I mark the old kernel for removal or complete removal? | 05:35 |
| mebaran151 | removal will be just fine | 05:35 |
| mebaran151 | complete removal purges the config | 05:35 |
| mebaran151 | which is no big deal | 05:35 |
| mebaran151 | as the kernel was probably left in its default config | 05:36 |
| mebaran151 | whichever makes you fuzziest | 05:36 |

| LiquidIce1337 | hmm "E: couldn't find package linux-restricted-modules | 05:51 |
| xed | ...what is that? | 05:51 |
| mebaran151 | and repartition with with the iso on it | 05:51 |
| mebaran151 | it is a another linux livecd | 05:51 |
| xed | =/ i have an easier way =/ | 05:51 |
| regeya_ | hm...XDND support in WMaker marked as experimental...hm...*shrug* lessee what happens! :-) | 05:51 |
| mebaran151 | xed | 05:51 |
| xed | But I'd have to cancel the set up right now =( | 05:51 |
| mebaran151 | what is your easier way | 05:51 |
| xed | what i Just said | 05:51 |
| xed | Pop in my Windows XP CD, create a partition for Ubuntu and restart installation for Ubuntu? | 05:51 |
| mebaran151 | winxp wont resize a partition | 05:51 |
| mebaran151 | so you would have to can windows | 05:51 |
| mebaran151 | which isnt that bad | 05:51 |
| jsgotangco | yeah | 05:51 |
| mebaran151 | but you might not want to do that | 05:51 |
| xed | mebaran151: Not necessarily | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | mebaran151, got it.. played about 2 min.. and am now Very dizzy. :P lol | 05:52 |
| mebaran151 | haha | 05:52 |
| mebaran151 | cool | 05:52 |
| xed | I could create a second partition of say 8GB, .. say.. NTFS or whatever | 05:52 |
| xed | Load up set up again.. | 05:52 |
| mebaran151 | nah | 05:52 |
| mebaran151 | see | 05:52 |
| xed | and then .. just erease that partition created | 05:52 |
| xed | erase* | 05:52 |
| mebaran151 | the WInXP default is to eat your entire harddisk | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | mebaran151, picure asteroids in fancy colors.. but the map 'spins' you dont turn. the world does.. | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | mebaran151, and it zooms in/out as your speed changes.. | 05:52 |
| xed | mebaran151: No.. it also has the ability to create a partition. = | 05:52 |
| xed | =\ | 05:52 |
| mebaran151 | so to make a new partition you have to delete the first partition | 05:52 |
| jsgotangco | it can | 05:52 |
| mebaran151 | no it will create it | 05:52 |
| xed | Thats how I partitioned my HDD... | 05:53 |
| jsgotangco | you go to disk management | 05:53 |
| mebaran151 | but to create it it has to go destroy it | 05:53 |
| jsgotangco | you dont have to format it | 05:53 |
| jsgotangco | right | 05:53 |
| mebaran151 | I am not creating a partition | 05:53 |
| xed | It doesn't have to destroy windows. =\ | 05:53 |
| mebaran151 | I am trying to resize it | 05:53 |
| mebaran151 | if you go to the disk manager in windows | 05:53 |
| mebaran151 | you can only resize dynamic arrays | 05:53 |
| xed | mebaran151: I see what you're saying...I think.. | 05:53 |
| mebaran151 | yeah | 05:53 |
| mebaran151 | see | 05:53 |
| mebaran151 | let me put it another way | 05:53 |
| mebaran151 | Windows owns your entire harddisk | 05:53 |
| xed | Hmm.. so how do I go about doing it while in the set up..(Ubuntu) at the "Partition Disks" part.. | 05:54 |
| mebaran151 | so let us say you have a 10 gb disk | 05:54 |
| goldfish_ | u have to erase the windows partition | 05:54 |
| mebaran151 | windows has the entire 10gb | 05:54 |
| goldfish_ | if u do it that way | 05:54 |

| mebaran151 | using development Gnome pkgs | 06:05 |
| mebaran151 | also | 06:05 |

| mebaran151 | basically | 06:05 |
| Jeezis | well shit, i downloaded the most recent warty verson i guess | 06:05 |
| mebaran151 | yeah | 06:05 |
| mebaran151 | warty is the stable | 06:05 |
| mebaran151 | hoary isnt so bad anymore | 06:05 |

| Jento00001 | Jeezis: i downloaded it over night, is the installation hard? | 06:05 |

| mebaran151 | arbeck, if you wrote a python script to write audio cds | 06:06 |
| mebaran151 | you are a step ahead of me | 06:06 |
| Jeezis | i installed it just fine | 06:06 |
| Jeezis | but im on a laptop | 06:06 |
| Xenguy | Jento00001: Ubu is based on Debian unstable, makes that stable, adds a GNOME desktop, chooses sane default applications, and tries to do that every 6 months on schedule :-) | 06:06 |

| tga | da_bon_bon: after you move it mount it end change /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst | 07:33 |
| jsgotangco | it has debian roots | 07:34 |

| out_of_focus | how long does it take to install Ubuntu? | 07:42 |
| weas3661 | can anyone here help a newbie...just have one question.. | 07:42 |
| Echylo | 1 hour on a P2 | 07:42 |
| goldfish_ | weas3661: ask away | 07:42 |
| viper12 | I'm a big netgear fan, so a lil' biased, so other than a specific model number ( i don't know it) the 'g' pcmcia card should work just fine. (no issues of any break nature in the forums regarding them.) | 07:42 |
| weas3661 | out of focus...just did an install...not too long | 07:42 |
| helio7 | viper12 it seems i *just* read a great review of a netgear pcmcia wifi card that actually advertises as "linux friendly" but can't find it atm | 07:42 |
| Zotnix | out_of_focus, not long. Here it took 30 minutes. | 07:42 |
| Zotnix | 1.13 GHz AMD though. | 07:42 |
| thoreauputic | out_of_focus: it's quick | 07:42 |
| Fr0d0 | The install of Ubuntu is about 30 minutes on an AMD 2400+ puter | 07:42 |
| out_of_focus | oh goodie then | 07:42 |
| weas3661 | my mouse is NOT working with ubuntu...it won't move at all | 07:43 |
| tga | weas3661: what kind of mouse is it? | 07:43 |
| Echylo | why you need a mouse for? | 07:43 |
| weas3661 | logitech wheel mouse | 07:43 |
| Echylo | :roll: | 07:43 |
| out_of_focus | i don't see how a mouse wouldn't work... | 07:43 |
| tga | weas3661: is it plugged in? | 07:43 |
| viper12 | helio7........are you checking the www.netgear.com site? products are pretty easy to locate on it. | 07:43 |
| weas3661 | echylo...i'm a newbie...i tried sourcemage...but just wanted a desktop for now | 07:43 |
| Fr0d0 | and the install is extremely intuitive and updates everything right away | 07:43 |
| thoreauputic | out_of_focus: the default install just includes a basic set of apps - quite well chosen though | 07:43 |
| out_of_focus | try the mouse on another computer | 07:43 |
| weas3661 | yes...it is plugged in...it works fine with windows | 07:43 |
| tga | weas3661: is it plugged in on PS2 or USB? | 07:44 |
| weas3661 | so i'm thinking it's a driver problem...but i have no clue how to fix it | 07:44 |
| helio7 | viper12 yeah thanks, I'm there now, was trying to actually locate 3rd party reviews from a linux pov, but yes, i have a tab open on netgear.com | 07:44 |
| out_of_focus | but things like Java and Flash need to be installed, right? | 07:44 |
| weas3661 | it's plugged into a usb | 07:44 |
| thoreauputic | out_of_focus: hardware issues are less likely on ppc, I'd say | 07:44 |
| viper12 | My laptop usses the intel centrino 2100 'b' stuff natively and has worked with hoary and warty with no issues, so I'm not even looking for another one there. :) | 07:44 |
| out_of_focus | i used the LiveCd on my P4 system and it worked perfectly | 07:44 |

| aristocrat | can anyone point to me from where "/bin2/sh" comes from? | 07:45 |
| moyogo | how does one change the keyboard layout for the whole system, not just the current user? | 07:45 |
| out_of_focus | my current mobo has 2 malfunctioned ram slots--they don't work correctly. | 07:45 |
| out_of_focus | only 1 of the ram slots works correctly | 07:45 |
| out_of_focus | so i can only have 256mb of ram | 07:45 |
| crimsun | aristocrat: no such link/file | 07:45 |

| out_of_focus | I wonder how Doom 3 would run on Ubuntu... | 07:46 |
| tga | moyogo: you could try sticking `setxkbmap FOO` into a file sourced by all users, like /etc/profile | 07:46 |

| aristocrat | crimsun, i had seen it earlier, but what does it mean? :) | 07:53 |

| xed_ | tga: eh? | 08:23 |
| viper12 | yeah, and you NEED to upgrad to the 2.6.10-4-686 kernel | 08:23 |
| johnwl | xed: grats | 08:23 |
| xed_ | grats? | 08:23 |
| xed_ | what? | 08:23 |
| viper12 | or even the 2.6.10-3-686 version. | 08:23 |
| xed_ | Oh | 08:23 |
| tga | viper12: the platform optimizations don't change anything | 08:24 |
| xed_ | Congrats | 08:24 |
| xed_ | johnw1: And all I needed to do was destroy windows and re-install it. | 08:24 |
| viper12 | yes........they........do. (after mucho checking and looking.) | 08:24 |
| johnwl | xed: the best thing to do after install is go through the ap section of the unofficial starter guide: http://www.ubuntuguide.org/ | 08:24 |
| thoreauputic | tga: in this case I believe viper12 is right ( for ati etc) | 08:24 |
| viper12 | however, that still might be an issue with the 320m | 08:24 |
| rommerUB | why is mplayer so hard to install? | 08:24 |
| johnwl | rommer did you try the starter guide? | 08:25 |
| tga | maybe I am missing something here, I'll go look for a newer kernel | 08:25 |
| tga | rommerUB: it's not | 08:25 |
| GammaRay | so xine can be easy to install | 08:25 |
| viper12 | you don't have sound xed? laptop/desktop? warty or hoary ubuntu? and sound card? | 08:25 |
| rommerUB | how do i install it then tga | 08:25 |
| Slack_Rox | Is there much of s speed drop between slack and ubuntu? anyone know? | 08:26 |
| GammaRay | Slack_Rox: why would you think there is any? | 08:26 |
| xed_ | why is my fan constantly running..>? | 08:26 |
| jdub | Slack_Rox: a system is only as fast as you perceive it. | 08:26 |
| tga | rommerUB: add the marillat-debian source to your /etc/apt/sources.list, then apt-get install mplayer | 08:26 |
| thoreauputic | tga: apt-cache search linux-image | grep 686 | 08:26 |
| xed_ | for my laptop that is | 08:26 |
| xed_ | why1? WHY!!!? | 08:26 |
| xed_ | Its loud and annoying =( | 08:27 |
| crimsun | rommerUB: you need to add two sources if you're running warty | 08:27 |
| xed_ | I need it on lower power settings.. | 08:27 |
| GammaRay | jdub: oh and as fast as it can encode ogg | 08:27 |
| tga | thoreauputic: k7 in my case, I'm already doing it | 08:27 |
| crimsun | rommerUB: afaik, mplayer works fine. | 08:27 |
| xed_ | how do I go about doing that? | 08:27 |
| johnwl | i would imagine slack is faster (just a guess) but there are so many variables thats hard to say | 08:27 |
| viper12 | okay you're saying that the sound IS working? its just too loud? | 08:27 |
| tga | xed_: what kind of laptop is that? | 08:27 |
| Slack_Rox | I'm only asking because I have seen in forums others saying ubuntu is slower than slack... Is why I was looking for an objective opinion on the matter from someone who has possibly ran both... | 08:27 |
| GammaRay | johnwl: quite an imagination you have there :-P | 08:27 |
| tga | my fan tends to run more in linux than in winxp, really annoying in quiet rooms | 08:28 |
| johnwl | slackwarehas always had a reputation for being fast | 08:28 |
| rommerUB | how do i get a gui for mplayer | 08:28 |
| crimsun | rommerUB: gmplayer | 08:28 |
| xed_ | tga: Toshiba Satellite A70 | 08:28 |
| tga | nothing is as fast as Gentoo *hides* | 08:28 |
| viper12 | slack.......i've read several reviews of ubuntu and the one thing all agreed upon was that it IS fast. slack is the 'standard' benchmark, and although its probably quicker......ubuntu is no slouch. | 08:28 |
| xed_ | tga: how did you go about turning off your fan? | 08:28 |
| GammaRay | tga: gah | 08:28 |
| jdub | johnwl: not necessarily based on reality or rational thought. | 08:28 |
| rommerUB | how do i install gmplayer ;) | 08:29 |
| GammaRay | viper12: what exactly where they measuring? | 08:29 |
| johnwl | if your on a relatively decent machine (2-3 years old) it probably wont matter which distro you go with | 08:29 |
| GoneBoB | johnwl: or indeed on any machine | 08:29 |
| viper12 | gamma, most of the reivews (via distrowatch and a few others like osnews) were talking about boot up and overall 'responsiveness.) | 08:29 |
| crimsun | rommerUB: it's included in the mplayer* package | 08:29 |
| rommerUB | ok | 08:29 |
| xed_ | xed@ubuntu:~ $ sudo apt-get install flashplayer-mozilla | 08:29 |
| xed_ | Reading Package Lists... Done | 08:29 |
| xed_ | Building Dependency Tree... Done | 08:29 |
| xed_ | E: Couldn't find package flashplayer-mozilla | 08:29 |
| tga | xed_: I have an Athlon so I modprobe powernow_k7, then poke around /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq | 08:30 |
| Slack_Rox | So I wouldn't see some huge performance drop then eh? | 08:30 |
| xed_ | tga: that.. means ... nothing to me. | 08:30 |
| GammaRay | viper12: overall responsivenessis silly.. | 08:30 |
| crimsun | xed_: enable multiverse | 08:30 |
| johnwl | yeah you can drop to the command line and be smoking fast on just about anything i guess | 08:30 |

| GammaRay | xed_: you must go to the dark portal | 08:31 |
| crimsun | xed_: the former method is probably more intuitive | 08:31 |
| viper12 | not necessarily gammaray......for instance, if one were using an optimized and customized gentoo version of gnome, it would probably be tons quicker than say a 'stock' non optimized version of gnome running on another distro. | 08:32 |
| StudioGhibli | Hello. need help. Am running Debian unstable. but will reinstall. So want to try out Ubuntu, adn maybe stick to it. Which iso should i download? the new hoary iso? | 08:32 |
| tga | the latest kernel-image-2.6 seems to be 2.6.8-2 | 08:32 |
| xed_ | crimsun: I remember I did it with the latter method.. as thats how you told me to do it before. | 08:32 |
| tga | StudioGhibli: if you run debian unstable you can download any iso, then upgrade to the greatest latest thing | 08:32 |
| viper12 | tga, if you're repositories are opened to 'universe/multi in hoary, the newer kernels are there.) | 08:32 |
| tga | thanks vincent_ | 08:32 |
| tga | viper12 rather | 08:32 |
| viper12 | np | 08:33 |
| GammaRay | viper12: nope. Any distro worth it's salt optimizes for x86 about as much as it can already. | 08:33 |
| xed_ | crimsun, remind me has to how I can get my sound working again? | 08:33 |
| StudioGhibli | tga: can i dist-upgrade to unstable to Ubuntu? | 08:33 |
| crimsun | tga: for warty, 2.6.8.1-5-* | 08:33 |
| StudioGhibli | tga: can i dist-upgrade from unstable to Ubuntu? | 08:33 |
| viper12 | not here to argue with you gamma.......but lets just agree to disagree on that one and let it lie. | 08:33 |
| thoreauputic | StudioGhibli: you can dist-upgrade warty> hoary, yeah | 08:33 |
| crimsun | StudioGhibli: search the wiki. The short answer: yes. The long answer: not recommended, you'll have headaches. | 08:33 |
| StudioGhibli | crimsun: oops. | 08:33 |
| GammaRay | viper12: I don't see any new insights on compilers from gentoo | 08:33 |
| StudioGhibli | headaches is not something i want. already have one from flu | 08:34 |
| xed_ | crimsun, how do I enable the multiverse? | 08:34 |
| xed_ | with the sources.list file that is | 08:34 |
| johnwl | starter guide tells you how zed | 08:34 |
| StudioGhibli | thoreauputic: no. i use Debian. Unstable. Want to try Ubuntu. | 08:34 |
| johnwl | xed | 08:34 |
| crimsun | StudioGhibli: if you'd like to try Ubuntu, why not try the Array-6 images? | 08:34 |

| xed_ | (for my laptop tha tis) | 08:35 |
| StudioGhibli | yeah. just copied that URL to the browser. | 08:35 |
| johnwl | the installer should pop up that starter guide as soon as new users log in | 08:35 |

| scaroo_ | hi ppl ! is it my eyes or the latest gtk update slowed down a lot redrawing speed ? | 12:41 |
| Nermal | britishseapower, would depend on the chipset | 12:41 |
| Skid | what's the difference between kernel-headers, and kernel-image ? | 12:41 |
| Nermal | unless that is the chipset ;) | 12:41 |
| britishseapower | that is the chipset! :-) | 12:41 |
| Nermal | Skid, kernel headers are the headers for the kernel source - used for compiling things against the kernel.. kernel image is the actual compiled kernel image that runs | 12:42 |
| === beezly [~andy@monkey.beezly.org.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| Nermal | headers are basically function declarations | 12:42 |
| Skid | ah | 12:42 |
| Skid | so you can't get the kernelsource via apt? | 12:42 |

| Skid | my mistake :P | 12:42 |
| Skid | still, I feel more bleeding edge heh | 12:43 |
| fsc | BrianAnthony, 8180 will run under ndiswrapper. realtek has native(closed) drivers for 2.4.x kernels...and not sure if they ever got around to releasing 2.6.x kernels | 12:43 |
| Nermal | Skid, I have 2.6.9 available to me | 12:43 |
| thenuke | Nermal: do you happen to know if one can use that debians bootsplash guide with ubuntu? I guess that only possible problem would be in compiling kernel? but is it? | 12:43 |
| fsc | britishseapower, rather | 12:43 |
| Skid | I can't see it in there, warty? | 12:43 |
| Skid | I've stable in my reps though | 12:43 |
| fsc | britishseapower, i'm running under a 8180 right now | 12:43 |

| fsc | hmm...device manager is crashy now | 12:44 |
| Nermal | kernel could be different.. not sure if the ubuntu kernel has bootsplash support | 12:44 |
| Nermal | the kernel on the livecd does | 12:44 |
| thenuke | Nermal: ok. I guess that only possible problem that I can think of is that if the ubuntus kernel would not ship with configs :) | 12:44 |
| britishseapower | fsc: my sister is really not echnical and i want her to try ubuntu on her wifi network...what steps do you need to configure the 8180 with the live cd? | 12:44 |
| fsc | britishseapower, live cd might be tricky. you'll have to get the windows .inf and .sys driver files, and install ndiswrapper | 12:45 |

| fsc | britishseapower, most definitely | 12:45 |
| britishseapower | fsc: - good to know that it does work with ndis wrapper though | 12:45 |
| britishseapower | fsc: catch 22...could ssh in...but no nic no ssh...and vice versa. | 12:46 |
| fsc | britishseapower, heck it works better under ndiswrapper than under windows for me. windows wants to constantly hop around other wireless networks for me, but probably not a driver problem, but windows wireless management issue | 12:46 |

| njan | pro, I work in IT and I've been using linux for longer than you have, and I've almost certainly used as many unix variants as you have - and you're most definitely wrong. | 04:44 |

| schweeb | larsrohdin: someone wants to set the root password | 04:45 |

| larsrohdin | schweeb, ok... | 04:45 |

| rance | I just didnt know that sudo asked for your own user password wasnt sure why that was needed since ive already logged in | 04:46 |

| goron | What exactly does ubuntu add to Debian? | 07:03 |
| avirox | is there a way to use WINE on my 64bit version of ubuntu? | 07:04 |
| marksbry | yeah changed to legacy mode, got the bios to recognize sata as primary channel and moved cd rom to secondary...then it changed to hdc | 07:04 |
| === SiliconViper [~siliconvi@d205-250-111-241.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| lok | avirox, wine can't handle 64bit due to win | 07:04 |
| Myrtti | goron: basic difference is that ubuntu's easier to install | 07:04 |
| marksbry | it doesn't work in sata mode with 6 channels for some reason | 07:04 |
| LinuxJones | goron, tinely update, regular reloease cycle, support for 18 months...etc | 07:04 |
| Myrtti | and configure, if you're a newbie to linux | 07:04 |
| marksbry | would probably have to manually load the cdrom drivers in that case | 07:04 |
| lok | you can make it work but only in 32 bit | 07:04 |
| avirox | lok, how about wineX/cedega? | 07:04 |
| LinuxJones | marksbry, yeah | 07:04 |
| Myrtti | or even if your familiar on how to configure debian to server use, but want to have it on the desktop too | 07:04 |
| marksbry | thanks again, your presence seems to solve problems lol | 07:04 |
| lok | avirox, same things but a page about how install it in 32bits is on the ubuntu wiki | 07:05 |

| === LinuxJones keyboarding skills are weak :( | ||
| lok | yes | 07:05 |

| goron | LinuxJones: Thank God. Grub always works. | 07:15 |
| LinuxJones | goron, lilo is poison as far as I am concerned | 07:15 |

| Marble2 | what does chroot do? | 07:16 |
| lok | and replace lilo by a good one or a grub as you want | 07:16 |

| tritium | djp, you can get it off of the marillat repo (ftp.nerim.net) | 07:24 |
| goron | Disaster: Look linux-printing.org with or without - | 07:24 |
| neighborlee | Marble2, im prob. not the best to do so..the only one i've used is 'fedora' s #1 CD and then used rescue mode..but i'm SURE there are other sa LIVECD's that surely offer a rescue mode ..which then lets you run either Lilo or Grub to get linux going again | 07:24 |
| Marble2 | ok | 07:24 |
| goron | Disaster: If it works on Linux, it will work on Ubuntu. | 07:24 |

| Levander | I've done searching and reading, seems like I've done eveything I find, hoping for step by step instructions of how to test for stuff working. Don't know either mysql or php. | 08:54 |
| jay_of_today | ahhhh!! got it!! tritium | 08:54 |
| jay_of_today | perhaps debian packages tritium ? | 08:54 |
| Levander | jay_of_today, phpinfo works, php under apache is working | 08:54 |
| tritium | jay_of_today, instead, ongoing work is focusing on usplash (a userspace splash) | 08:54 |
| jay_of_today | what about mysql bindings Levander ? | 08:54 |
| tritium | jay_of_today, don't know about debian packages for you | 08:55 |
| Levander | jay_of_today, no it's the mysql bindings not working, via error message I get from wordpress install is only way i know | 08:55 |
| jay_of_today | I see tritium , so does the kernel image provided by ubuntu has usplash tritium ? | 08:55 |
| jay_of_today | ops | 08:55 |
| jay_of_today | ;) | 08:55 |
| tritium | jay_of_today, no, usplash is not available yet, but when it is, it won't be part of the kernel (it's userspace) | 08:56 |
| tritium | that's the beauty of it | 08:56 |
| jay_of_today | ok | 08:56 |
| jay_of_today | the only splash thingie thats left is the one on the live cd right? | 08:56 |
| Levander | jay_of_today, i have php4-mysql and libapache2-mod-auth-mysql installed. And I edited /etc/php4/apache2/php.ini to uncomment mysql.so | 08:57 |

| joeblow1234 | I want to test the latest OpenOffice.org, but I need this computer to stay running. It is easy to downgrade from 2.0 beta to 1.1.x....not so easy to downgrade from hoary to warty | 11:21 |
| billytwowilly | I am getting really frustrated with whoever packaged sox though. They didn't include mp3 support or any indication of how to get mp3 support. | 11:21 |
| ompaul | Frodo, interesting | 11:22 |
| aeolist | that's what the forums and howtos are for man | 11:22 |
| aeolist | frodo, you have to run grub from the terminal, you'll find more info on that on the howto list | 11:22 |
| aeolist | just type grub | 11:22 |
| Frodo | My Dad's book is "Spitfire Down" it is on Amazon | 11:22 |
| InitMass | anyone who knows if Broadcom 440x works out of the box? | 11:22 |

| BiteMeBill | Oh ok.. Some of those modems you can have them to the PPPOE information but it shoulds like your system is doing it. | 11:38 |
| bulio | I have sympatico isp | 11:38 |
| bulio | you know with the pppoe auth client it has | 11:38 |
| BiteMeBill | bulio: So in on the ubuntu install you will have to enter your PPPOE account information into it so that it will log you into your ISP | 11:39 |

| elcuco | hi, the display was really bad when i installed ubuntu, and i did not really see which question was the one which aksed for a root password. | 11:40 |
| elcuco | is there a default root password here? | 11:40 |
| TPC | elcuco, no | 11:40 |
| TPC | elcuco, the root account is disabled by default | 11:40 |
| bulio | what do most of you have here? | 11:41 |
| bulio | cable internet? | 11:41 |
| TPC | elcuco, you have to use sudo. if you want to use the root account like normal you have to set a password on it using sudo and passwd. | 11:41 |
| zenrox | adsl | 11:41 |
| zenrox | dhcp viraity | 11:41 |
| TPC | bulio, adsl and cable depending on location. both 8mbps :) | 11:41 |
| === allio_ [allio@203.184.28.75] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| bulio | for me, that isn't an option | 11:41 |
| zenrox | router also so if thay switch to a pppoe type i wont have to screw with it in linux | 11:41 |
| elcuco | TPC, how do i install new packages then? | 11:42 |
| bulio | so If I bought a router, it'd work? | 11:42 |
| BiteMeBill | bulio: Can you look at the modem and see if there is a yellow sticker on it saying an IP address? | 11:42 |
| cybergasm | how do i get permission to brows through one of my mounted ntfs drives? | 11:42 |
| bulio | my ip is dynamic | 11:42 |
| TPC | elcuco, you can use synaptics (its in the menu) | 11:42 |
| zenrox | bulio, most routers do the pppoe ling for you | 11:42 |
| zenrox | ling= login | 11:42 |
| bulio | this sucks | 11:42 |
| elcuco | TPC, cool... :( | 11:42 |
| bulio | first I was told if I had an ethernet card, it'd work fine | 11:42 |
| bulio | now I need to buy a oruter? | 11:43 |
| bulio | *router | 11:43 |
| bulio | heh | 11:43 |
| BiteMeBill | bulio: once you make it over the PPPOE problem you will solve more than you know. | 11:43 |
| bulio | probably | 11:43 |
| zenrox | bulio, also too a router will help firewall your box | 11:43 |
| bulio | just depressed | 11:43 |
| BiteMeBill | bulio: do you have any old computers laying around? | 11:43 |
| elcuco | TPC, whats the password...? | 11:43 |

| BiteMeBill | Dratz... Some of the 5200's will let you put the PPOE information in them and some won't. | 11:46 |
| BiteMeBill | Doesn't matter if you have dynamic or not. Just need to put your PPPOE login information into a client. | 11:46 |
