| thr1ce | so, i'm trying a few out | 01:03 |
| ells | Loiosh, can you tell me what might be wrong | 01:03 |
| ells | first i had the files shared, it worked | 01:03 |
| apokryphos | thr1ce: which is, of course, true :P. No such thing as an objective linux distro, and -- quite frankly -- there never will be. | 01:03 |
| ells | and then I used the wep and cannot | 01:03 |
| Loiosh | Well, I can try to guess with a little more information. Is the Windows machine doing the sharing, or the linux machine? | 01:03 |
| apokryphos | thr1ce: objective *best linux distro | 01:03 |
| ells | the windows is sharing | 01:03 |
| thr1ce | apokryphos, so...updates are available (lets say a brand new Gaim is released) regularly? | 01:04 |
| thr1ce | i run slackware -current, which is updated once or twice a week | 01:04 |
| Loiosh | Ok, what mount command do you use? Make sure you remove your password if you paste it here =) | 01:04 |
| apokryphos | thr1ce: good thing with running Ubuntu, or perhaps debian systems in general, is that the vast majority of the time, you're on the cutting edge of the distro. Kind of like running your OS's cvs | 01:04 |

| out_of_focus | graphical installers require more resources and such | 01:25 |

| out_of_focus | distros in which you are paying for something, i don't consider them to be true open source | 01:26 |

| apokryphos | thr1ce: if it's just a package you want to install, then you just update that from the repository. No need for a whole system upgrade (if you don't want to make one) | 01:41 |
| thr1ce | how long do packages like Gaim take before they are updated ? | 01:41 |
| apokryphos | thr1ce: I have no idea; I don't use gaim. | 01:41 |
| knapjack | thr1ce: security updates happen as fast as possible. | 01:41 |
| apokryphos | current is 1.3 | 01:41 |
| thr1ce | knapjack, i mean any given package | 01:41 |
| apokryphos | *1.4 | 01:41 |
| out_of_focus | then find a 3rd party flash player for ppc linux, or make one yourself. | 01:41 |
| thr1ce | 1.1.4 | 01:41 |
| tck | thr1ce, what fucntion are you awaiting for with gAIM | 01:41 |
| apokryphos | *1.1.4 | 01:41 |
| apokryphos | eek, yeah | 01:41 |
| Zotnix | Woah | 01:41 |
| Zotnix | That was the biggest... butcher of the gaim name ever. | 01:42 |
| thr1ce | no, just curious as to how long it would take for it to be updated in the repository | 01:42 |
| apokryphos | hehe | 01:42 |

| Zotnix | tck, don't let Gaim developers catch you saying gAIM. | 01:42 |
| knapjack | thr1ce: usually version updates require you to wait for a new version of that distribution, build from source (not too bad), or try to install the binary from the newer distribution. | 01:42 |
| thr1ce | like, lets say Gaim 1.1.5 came out yesterday; how long would it take before I can apt-get upgrade it | 01:42 |
| johnnybezak | out_of_focus: not that interested man :) | 01:42 |

| thr1ce | um... | 01:42 |
| LinuxJones | thr1ce, you can always take the initiative and package the latest gaim and submit it for inclusion in Ubuntu :) | 01:42 |
| the_grey_ghost | has anyone had experince with using the miniram how to on the website? | 01:43 |
| out_of_focus | then just use mac os if you want flash on ppc. | 01:43 |
| Zotnix | What is gaim on now? | 01:43 |
| === thr1ce is too used to slackware, where package updates are available within a few days | ||
| Zotnix | They keep releasing. | 01:43 |
| thr1ce | 1.1.4 | 01:43 |
| thr1ce | 1.1.3 was bugged to hell | 01:43 |
| thr1ce | that's why it was released to quickly | 01:43 |
| knapjack | thr1ce: But, you can add hoary's source packages, do an 'apt-get build-dep gaim' and 'apt-get -b source gaim' and you'll get the new version. | 01:43 |

| out_of_focus | i don't see why somebody would use linux on a ppc instead of os x--the only reason i can think of is if os x is slow on the machine | 01:43 |

| === Loiosh hates osX | ||
| out_of_focus | i love os x | 01:44 |
| out_of_focus | but i hate windows! | 01:44 |
| the_grey_ghost | OSX costs money legallly | 01:44 |
| knapjack | out_of_focus: linux on PPC rocks. If I needed linux and had my choice between x86 and PPC, I would run PPC. | 01:44 |
| thr1ce | knapjack, I would be running hoary...or, cvs style ubuntu, whatever the term is | 01:44 |
| out_of_focus | i got panther from my friend | 01:44 |
| thr1ce | i was assuming packages get updated regularly | 01:44 |
| knapjack | thr1ce: You would be running warty with just the one package from hoary. | 01:44 |
| johnnybezak | out_of_focus: i just like flux better :) and apps like gimp inkscape etc. work better on linux | 01:44 |
| the_grey_ghost | I have 20 Imacs with os9 and I don't know what to do with them! Half cannot use ubuntu | 01:45 |
| thr1ce | knapjack, no, if I ran ubuntu, i would run hoary | 01:45 |
| apokryphos | naturally | 01:45 |
| johnnybezak | the_grey_host: why not? | 01:45 |
| out_of_focus | but are all the same packages for x86 linux able to run on ppc without having to recompile for the ppc platform? | 01:45 |
| thr1ce | no | 01:45 |
| johnnybezak | out_of_focus: ubuntu has all packages compiled for ppc | 01:45 |
| out_of_focus | does ppc ubuntu have universe? | 01:45 |
| thr1ce | otherwise everyone woudl run os x on x86 :P | 01:45 |
| knapjack | thr1ce: So you're asking how long before the latest version of package X is in the unstable version of Ubuntu? It's up to the developer. | 01:45 |
| out_of_focus | or at least a partially complete universe | 01:45 |
| esher | whats the difference between latest ubuntu hoary and latest gnoppix 0.9.90b1 Hoary ? | 01:46 |
| johnnybezak | out_of_focus: yes | 01:46 |
| the_grey_ghost | Johnny: half cannot boot from CD. I cnould do a net install, but the machines only have 32Mb ram. | 01:46 |
| out_of_focus | okay then thats good | 01:46 |
| out_of_focus | in that case i'd be able to get java and such | 01:46 |
| === johaBBa [~johaBBa@johabba.user] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| johnnybezak | out_of_focus: ppc is supported by ubuntu | 01:46 |
| knapjack | thr1ce: Because Ubuntu shares packages with Debian, the turnaround is usually quick. | 01:46 |
| knucks | why cant i get xmms working | 01:46 |
| thr1ce | knapjack, I'm just trying to understand the way ubuntu works...sorry :( (i've been running slackware for a year or so) | 01:47 |
| johnnybezak | the_grey_host: i thought all newish macs could boot from the cd - other wise how did you install os 9 on them? | 01:47 |
| knapjack | thr1ce: ...and I've found that as long as the package in question has a maintainer, you can just email them and say, hey, did you know a new version just came out? | 01:47 |
| the_grey_ghost | Anyone know a free opensource text browser for os9 macintosh? | 01:47 |
| out_of_focus | mozilla? | 01:47 |
| thr1ce | linx? | 01:47 |
| Loiosh | Hehe | 01:47 |
| Loiosh | lynx! | 01:47 |
| the_grey_ghost | Openoffice and Abiword say they need osx | 01:47 |
| Loiosh | My baby | 01:47 |
| thr1ce | y | 01:47 |
| knapjack | the_grey_ghost: BBEdit, but it's not open source | 01:47 |
| out_of_focus | anybody still using os 9 is umm, why? | 01:47 |
| johnnybezak | text editor? | 01:47 |
| knapjack | the_grey_ghost: There's also VIM | 01:47 |
| out_of_focus | either use os x or linux, cuz os 9 just sucks. | 01:47 |
| GoneBoB | the_grey_ghost: www.ubuntulinux.org | 01:47 |
| GoneBoB | it's a free browser | 01:48 |
| GoneBoB | but it comes with a free OS as well | 01:48 |
| knapjack | out_of_focus: old world PPC, maybe. | 01:48 |
| blizah | to get cs working under linux do i have to have cs installed on a windows drive and run it under wine or can i install it on linux and run it under wine? | 01:48 |
| the_grey_ghost | Out_Of _Focus Because I need to do things Legit. OSX costs money dosen't it? | 01:48 |
| knucks | .. | 01:48 |
| knapjack | out_of_focus: or 680x0 | 01:48 |
| thr1ce | knapjack, so...if I change my repositories to the latest and greatest, I could upgrade Gaim regularly whenever it's released? | 01:48 |
| out_of_focus | 680x0 can't run os 9 :-P | 01:48 |
| knapjack | Yep, pretty much | 01:48 |
| johnnybezak | blizah: there is a cs install how to on linux games | 01:48 |
| thr1ce | is there a changelog of sorts for ubuntu? | 01:48 |
| apokryphos | thr1ce: you don't change your repositories for new packages | 01:48 |
| andrewski | thr1ce: as soon as a package is released. | 01:48 |
| out_of_focus | the highest mac os that a 68k can run is 8.1 | 01:48 |
| the_grey_ghost | Else I would upgrade them | 01:48 |
| out_of_focus | but linux it can run quite a lot | 01:48 |
| johnnybezak | blizah: but it can be on your linux filesystem | 01:48 |
| apokryphos | thr1ce: only for a new distribution version. Like hoary/warty. Taht's the only time... | 01:49 |
| blizah | yay | 01:49 |
| thr1ce | apokryphos, I change them to be able to get the latest, right ? | 01:49 |
| thr1ce | yeah | 01:49 |
| blizah | linuxgames.com? | 01:49 |
| thr1ce | ok | 01:49 |
| johnnybezak | blizah: yep | 01:49 |
| thr1ce | is there a changelog to see what's new? or does apt-get update do that? | 01:49 |
| apokryphos | thr1ce: only when a new version of ubuntu is out. Like when a new version of Slackware would be out. | 01:49 |
| knapjack | apokryphos: You can add repositories for unsupported packages, or add Debian source repositories if you want a slightly faster turnaround. | 01:49 |
| apokryphos | thr1ce: for new packages you only need to *update* your sources, and then and then get/install package. | 01:49 |
| knapjack | apokryphos: Case in point: MPEG support. | 01:49 |
| thr1ce | apokryphos, well, slackware is different; I read a changelog every few days, find a mirror, and download the new packs | 01:50 |
| apokryphos | knapjack: of course. :) | 01:50 |

| apokryphos | thr1ce: it doesn't work like that at all. Above I'm referring to the "ubuntu-core", not other packages. | 01:57 |
| Loiosh | Thr1ce: You will still have to wait until Ubuntu gets around to packaging the install though =) | 01:57 |
| apokryphos | to get the latest packages, well, you just apt-get install gaim, and it installs the newest version. | 01:57 |
| blizah | does ubuntu (warty) use a fairly new version of wine? | 01:57 |

| knapjack | blizah: If you want it installed somewhere else, you would need to recompile it, most likely. | 02:07 |

| eleazar- | hi guys, i have this problem with xmms http://pastebin.com/249872 | 02:15 |
| knapjack | thr1ce: Case in point: I *want* (not *need*) the latest bzflag. There is no package for 2.0 in Warty or Hoary yet. I added the Debian Unstable repository, did an 'apt-get update && apt-get build-dep bzflag && apt-get -b source bzflag && dpkg -i bzflag*deb' and voila, I'm done, and I have the latest, and it's a package. No big deal. | 02:15 |

| optish | LinuxJones, i am running it but its not saving it | 02:29 |
| DoppelGanger | bulverseburrito: cause ubuntu is a ram hog | 02:29 |
| optish | more over it keeps crashing | 02:29 |
| optish | if i open the volume control | 02:29 |
| LinuxJones | optish, yikes | 02:29 |
| LinuxFire | Compile alsa into the kernel | 02:29 |
| optish | but everything works fine | 02:29 |
| knapjack | bulverseburrito: Meaning I would recommend the Mini-RAM if you were going to attempt it, but Nautilus is a RAM hog, and not friendly to older machines. | 02:29 |
| optish | LinuxFire, i want to stay away from compiling my own kernel..want to stick with the stock | 02:30 |
| tck | drspin, really ? | 02:30 |

| _phate_ | way is the package tree for ubuntu so out of date? FireFox 1.0 has been around for awhile, yet Ubuntu only has FF 0.9.3, what gives? | 03:52 |
| GoneBoB | multiverse is packages with questionable legality | 03:52 |

| GoneBoB | _phate_: that was current when warty was released | 03:53 |

| utsav | _phate use Hoary .. It's stable and has all the l8st | 03:53 |
| utsav | I'm on it right now | 03:53 |
| utsav | It's gr8 stuff | 03:53 |
| _phate_ | GoneBoB: How can a package have questionable legality? | 03:53 |
| GoneBoB | _phate_: quite easily.. for example mplayer | 03:54 |
| usual | JDahl, does that solve the problem? | 03:54 |
| eruin | by including packages that are illegal under some jurisdictions | 03:54 |
| utsav | specifically w32codecs | 03:54 |

| _phate_ | After reading http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/components, I take it Ubuntu is sticking to the Debian philosophy | 04:03 |
| pugio | giving errors like "Failed to execute /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon | 04:03 |
| utsav | silly question: so is the kernel-source package just the stock linux kernel.. or will it give me a ubuntu kernel.. Do I have to find any ubuntu patches and apply those? | 04:03 |
| pugio | (no such file or directory) | 04:03 |
| JDahl | pugio, look at /var/log/gdm* | 04:04 |
| pugio | ok, but it uninstalled gdm | 04:04 |
| pugio | I had to reinstall it | 04:04 |
| pugio | this is the second time it happended, but the first time only gdm was affected, and not other parts of gnome | 04:04 |
| === dsr_ [~fboyer@65.94.191.189] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| JDahl | pugio, gdm was uninstalled by a crashing program? | 04:04 |
| LinuxJones | utsav, the ubuntu source will have ubuntu patches | 04:04 |
| pugio | JDahl: that's what it looks like (or for some other reason) as well as other parts of gnome | 04:05 |
| JDahl | pugio, I flat out refuse to believe that a package can be uninstalled by a crashing program | 04:06 |
| LinuxJones | utsav, why are you compiling the kernel ? | 04:06 |
| pugio | JDahl: well, then HOW did that happen? | 04:06 |
| pugio | JDahl: now I have no idea how to fix it.... is there some way to redo gnome? | 04:06 |
| pugio | for instance, the settings daemon isn't there (/usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon | 04:07 |
| JDahl | pugio, what does "dpkg -l gdm" tell you? | 04:07 |

| pugio | wooooooops | 04:08 |
| pugio | sorry everyone | 04:08 |
| pugio | anyway, there it is | 04:08 |
| JDahl | pugio, try to make the problem happen again, then look at the logs and try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" | 04:09 |
| pugio | JDahl: right, well, this problem occured once before, and I'm telling you - GDM DID NOT EXIST | 04:10 |
| pugio | seriously, one minute it was there | 04:10 |
| pugio | the next, the /usr/bin/gdm was gone | 04:10 |
| pugio | not even an error log | 04:10 |
| pugio | zip zilch nadda | 04:10 |
| pugio | it was gone, I had to reinstall it | 04:11 |
| pugio | anyway, I'm still having issues with Gnome | 04:11 |
| pugio | is there any way to reset that? | 04:11 |
| JDahl | pugio, what problems? one thing that often bugged me is that .ICEauthority got wrong permissions if gnome crashed | 04:12 |
| Sk8Phate | does anyone know how to get a USB DSL modem to work with ubuntu? | 04:12 |
| pugio | JDahl: when I try to start gdm, it works fine (now) but when I log in I get a brown screen with only a single program started | 04:12 |
| pugio | there are no menus, top or bottom, only a brown screen and a single program | 04:13 |
| JDahl | pugio, killall gnome-panels | 04:13 |
| pugio | additionally, the error message "Failed to execute /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon (No such file or directory) | 04:13 |
| utsav | LinuxJones Once I saw that with an alps patch, my touchpad could have circular scrolling, I decided it's amust do | 04:13 |
| pugio | and.... it's right, /usr/lib/control-center/ does NOT exist | 04:13 |
| pugio | JDahl: that 'killall' responded with "gnome-panels: no process killed" | 04:14 |
| LinuxJones | utsav, nice | 04:14 |
| utsav | LinuxJones Hopefully my last question.. I've got all the patches applied now.. I was just wondering if I can use an existing kernel config from ubuntu | 04:14 |

| LinuxJones | utsav, of course you will have to rename it | 04:16 |
| JDahl | pugio, I am sort of clueless... but if you can reproduce the error and document that part of gnome gets uninstalled you need to file a bugreport.. if nothing works, you can purge everything related to gnome and reinstall it, to get a clean slate | 04:17 |
| pugio | JDahl: will that work ok with Ubuntu? will everything be configured properly (the full re-install that is) | 04:17 |
| JDahl | pugio, yes... it's general frawned upon but occasionally you just want to get rid of all debconf info and started over.. use dpkg --purge for that | 04:18 |

| netpuppy | err... why can't rhythmbox play mp3's by default on ubuntu? | 05:47 |
| pvh | Hoary's giving me no love on the updates -- lots of packages with status "failed" on the download. Whut up? | 05:47 |
| GoneBoB | netpuppy: because mp3 is patented | 05:47 |
| crimsun | netpuppy: because the patent situation is ambiguous | 05:47 |
| pvh | netpuppy: Enable universe. I'd recommend you install amarok while you're at it. | 05:47 |
| pvh | netpuppy: Because amarok, if you have a biggish collection, is the best damn MP3 player I've ever used. | 05:48 |
| netpuppy | then how about microsoft ttf fonts? | 05:48 |
| NobleArc | Those were released by Microsoft. o_O | 05:48 |
| johnnybezak | whats amarok like? | 05:50 |

| _phate_ | how do I link to things? I have a partition (/stuff) how do I make a link to it in may home folder? | 05:53 |
| pvh | johnnybezak: It's a bit like iTunes in terms of immediate interface. | 05:53 |
| Brunellus | help--I accidentally moved the top taskbar thing to the right-hand side (gnome) and I don't know how to move it back? | 05:53 |
| pvh | johnnybezak: Most of the screen is taken up by the playlist that's on right now. | 05:53 |

| guestish | hi | 05:54 |
| errr | netpuppy: oh ok thanks | 05:55 |
| netpuppy | errr, you could use Gnome as a template | 05:55 |
| guestish | how similar is ubtuntu to debian? | 05:55 |
| pvh | johnnybezak: The best part (I think) is how tightly it's integrated into Audioscrobbler. | 05:55 |
| netpuppy | guestish, very | 05:55 |
| johnnybezak | puh: cool mb i'll have a look, i'm using rhythmbox which isnt bad | 05:55 |
| netpuppy | guerby, except up-to-date | 05:55 |
| _phate_ | now how do I set permissions for a partition? | 05:55 |
| johnnybezak | pvh: whats Audioscrobbler? | 05:55 |
| guestish | more up to date then sid? | 05:55 |
| Brunellus | netpuppy: that doesn't help me | 05:55 |
| netpuppy | I think so | 05:55 |
| Brunellus | what am I supposed to do? | 05:55 |
| netpuppy | Brunellus, why not? | 05:55 |
| pvh | johnnybezak: It's the coolest thing in the world. | 05:55 |
| guestish | really? i thought ubuntu got their packages from sid | 05:55 |
| pvh | johnnybezak: They collect people's listening information and then predict what you'll like to listen to. | 05:56 |
| netpuppy | guestish, hm, I don't think GNOME 2.9 hit sid yet | 05:56 |
| johnnybezak | _phate_: chmod -R 755 /path/to/partition (owner read, write, execute group and other read and execute) | 05:56 |
| guestish | odd number GNOME releases are unstable | 05:56 |
| johnnybezak | pvh: ok i'll have a look | 05:56 |
| pvh | johnnybezak: Audioscrobbler can make playlist recommendations automatically by querying audioscrobbler against your database. | 05:56 |
| guestish | official releases are even | 05:56 |
| crimsun | errr: you don't actually have to do anything aside from selecting Fluxbox in the Session menu when you log in | 05:56 |
| guestish | thats why its always 2.4, 2.6, 2.8 | 05:56 |
| guestish | etc | 05:56 |
| Brunellus | i can't drag it off the right side | 05:56 |
| netpuppy | guestish, though I have spent the last 3 years doing BSD work, so I'm not that up-to-date with the situation | 05:56 |
| guestish | netpuppy: ? | 05:57 |
| errr | crimsun: that would be nice to do if it were there :D | 05:57 |
| crimsun | errr: you did install fluxbox from universe, correct? | 05:57 |
| errr | no | 05:57 |
| errr | svn | 05:57 |
| guestish | im just wondering...people keep on telling me ubuntu basically is debian | 05:57 |
| pvh | johnnybezak: It's not for everyone -- depends on your listening profile. Check out the webpage. | 05:57 |
| crimsun | errr: ... | 05:57 |
| errr | current fluxbox is .9.12 not .9.9 | 05:57 |
| johnnybezak | pvh: i'll have a look then | 05:57 |
| crimsun | errr: then why didn't you make a request to have it updated? :( | 05:57 |
| pvh | guestish: Ubuntu is basically Debian with a fast release cycle. :) | 05:58 |
| pvh | guestish: And an emphasis on being nice to people. | 05:58 |
| Brunellus | arrrgh. | 05:58 |
| guestish | pvh: huh? | 05:58 |
| Brunellus | I can't figure this out. | 05:58 |
| errr | crimsun: I am not worried about it I guess. dopey knows its out and there is a .deb | 05:58 |
| guestish | pvh: how can a distro be "nice to people"? | 05:58 |
| pvh | guestish: Ubuntu means "humanity to all people". | 05:58 |
| Brunellus | somehow this got dragged out to the side | 05:58 |
| guestish | uh, ok? | 05:58 |
| Brunellus | and now I can't undock it from the right hand side | 05:58 |
| pvh | guestish: Notice how nobody is flaming anyone in this channel (at the moment) | 05:58 |
| guestish | pvh: sure, but whats that have to do with ubuntu? | 05:58 |
| crimsun | errr: yes, but at least it could have been considered for universe prior to preview freeze | 05:58 |

| guestish | or does it have its own maintainers? | 05:59 |
| pvh | guestish: Both. | 05:59 |
| guestish | oh | 05:59 |

| netpuppy | mmm... gaim 2.0 kicks ass | 06:00 |
| guestish | pvh: why the "hah" | 06:00 |
| pvh | guestish: It's gotta be sid. | 06:00 |
| pvh | guestish: Though Crimsun is better qualified than I am to answer that. | 06:00 |
| guestish | pvh: so ubuntu is more up to date then sid? | 06:00 |
| pvh | guestish: Yes. | 06:00 |
| guestish | pvh: but you just said it gets many of its packages from sid | 06:01 |
| guestish | thats a contradiction.. | 06:01 |
| pvh | guestish: There's no inherent conflict there, though I should have been clearer. | 06:01 |
| Brunellus | guestish: many, but not all | 06:01 |
| guestish | pvh: please do | 06:01 |
| Brunellus | for those packages which it does not get from sid | 06:01 |
| pvh | guestish: Packages come from Sid, or are maintained by Ubuntu developers. | 06:01 |
| guestish | ok, so the packages that it doesnt get from sid, about how many are there that are ubunutu specific? | 06:01 |
| Brunellus | logically, it follows that ubuntu might be more up to date | 06:01 |
| guestish | ubuntu* | 06:01 |
| guestish | just a rough estimate | 06:02 |
| pvh | guestish: I don't know the answer to that. | 06:02 |
| guestish | all im asking | 06:02 |
| guestish | 1000? 2000? | 06:02 |

| pvh | guestish: I'm afraid I really don't know. All I know is that running Hoary I usually get major packages a couple days after they're released in source. | 06:02 |
| errr | hot dog!! thanks netpuppy that got me all fixed up | 06:03 |
| crimsun | guestish: ubuntu's universe has packages that are newer than their counterparts or simply don't exist in debian proper | 06:03 |
| Brunellus | guestish: ye pays yer money or ye takes yer time | 06:03 |
| pvh | guestish: Evolution 2.1.6 dropped into Hoary in the past few days. | 06:03 |
| netpuppy | errr, you're welcome :) | 06:03 |
| guestish | crimsun: ok, thats cool, im just wondering exactly how many there are | 06:03 |
| guestish | er, about | 06:03 |
| crimsun | guestish: ~a dozen | 06:03 |
| guestish | approximately | 06:03 |
| guestish | a dozen packages? | 06:03 |
| crimsun | that are not in debian proper | 06:03 |
| guestish | ok | 06:03 |
| guestish | so 12 packages | 06:04 |
| crimsun | that's a rough guess | 06:04 |
| Brunellus | guestish: why does it matter, again? | 06:04 |
| guestish | just wondering mainly | 06:04 |
| guestish | i've heard a lot about it and i wanna know the truth | 06:04 |
| crimsun | guestish: "truth"? | 06:04 |
| === Brunellus shrugs. | ||
| guestish | meh | 06:04 |
| Brunellus | ubuntu works for me. that's true enough | 06:04 |
| crimsun | guestish: grab an array-6 image, burn, and boot | 06:04 |
| crimsun | guestish: best way to "test" the "truth" | 06:05 |
| guestish | im just wondering why there is ubuntu and debian if the difference between ubuntu and debian is 12 packages | 06:05 |
| Brunellus | it has also so far been nicer than suse... | 06:05 |
| guestish | heh, iwould except i dont have the room to install | 06:05 |
| Brunellus | guestish: what does it matter? | 06:05 |
| === guestish shrugs | ||
| Brunellus | guestish: run it livecd, if you can't/won't install | 06:05 |
| crimsun | guestish: a livecd is included in array-6 | 06:05 |
| pvh | guestish: Have you run Debian much? | 06:05 |
| guestish | pvh: few years | 06:05 |
| guestish | mainly sid | 06:05 |
| pvh | guestish: One thing that always frustrated me about Sid was that it would often be in an inconsistent state. | 06:06 |
| guestish | pvh: inconsistant state? | 06:06 |
| crimsun | guestish: no, the "only" differences between debian and ubuntu absolutely are _not_ limited to 12 packages | 06:06 |
| pvh | guestish: Things would be badly broken -- I remember when perl5.8 came out, I ended up in a totally borked state. | 06:06 |
| guestish | crimsun: what else is there? (this isnt a challenge, just a question) | 06:06 |
| Brunellus | major difference: ubuntu support is a lot friendlier! | 06:06 |
| guestish | pvh: and that doenst happen in ubuntu? | 06:06 |
| guestish | thats impressive | 06:06 |
| pvh | guestish: No, the up-to-date repository, in my experience, is kept clean. | 06:06 |
| guestish | cool, so packages are added every day? | 06:07 |
| pvh | guestish: Yeah. | 06:07 |
| crimsun | guestish: besides the focused release schedule, there's also a major commitment to a unified desktop experience, which means a bevy of kernel packages, device management, and microtuning of various configurations behind-the-scenes | 06:07 |
| guestish | crimsun: so its more integrated? | 06:07 |
| crimsun | guestish: every 30 minutes pool is updated as opposed to once per day | 06:07 |
| crimsun | guestish: absolutely. It's a GNOME-based desktop, for one | 06:08 |
| guestish | crimsun: oh, so gnome only? | 06:08 |
| pvh | guestish: No, KDE is in "universe" | 06:08 |
| crimsun | guestish: however, there has been quite a bit of work to integrate KDE neatly | 06:08 |
| guestish | ah, so many more gui tools | 06:08 |
| guestish | that makes sense | 06:09 |
| crimsun | (that effort is known as "Kubuntu") | 06:09 |

| johnnybezak | Quest-Master: my firefox went wierd, but then was ok once i had compoletely finished upgrade | 06:09 |
| Quest-Master | It just.. isn't opening | 06:10 |
| Quest-Master | I'm going to try to upgrade | 06:10 |
| Brunellus | as a non-techie, I went to ubuntu over Debian-Sarge because it was just friendlier | 06:10 |
| guestish | Brunellus: you've made that clear :) | 06:10 |
| Brunellus | sorry. I'm trying to get this across, as I feel it's quite important | 06:10 |
| guestish | yes yes, i know | 06:10 |
| Brunellus | Debian docs are very daunting for nontechnical people | 06:10 |
| Quest-Master | rm: cannot remove `/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/defaults/pref': Is a directory <-- I get this when I try to upgrade | 06:11 |
| Brunellus | ubuntu is a lot less threatening. | 06:11 |
| guestish | ubuntu must be heavily staffed to do all this | 06:11 |
| Quest-Master | Should I manually remove it? | 06:11 |
| Quest-Master | There is nothing in there | 06:11 |
| johnnybezak | Quest-Master: just rm -rf it | 06:11 |
| Brunellus | guestish: if you have a free partition, give it a try | 06:11 |
| ells | is anyone familiar on how I can get transcode and get it installed | 06:11 |
| guestish | unfortuately i dont | 06:11 |
| crimsun | guestish: it has very committed people, yes. | 06:12 |
| johnnybezak | how do i expand tar.gz in the command line? | 06:12 |
| Brunellus | try the livecd, if you can. the livecd is pretty neat. | 06:12 |
| crimsun | johnnybezak: tar xfz foo.tar.gz | 06:12 |
| guestish | so a few, but commit people | 06:12 |
| guestish | er, comitted | 06:12 |
| johnnybezak | crimsun: thnx | 06:12 |
| guestish | tar -zxvf | 06:12 |
| crimsun | guestish: quite a bit more than just "a few" | 06:12 |
| guestish | crimsun: ? | 06:12 |
| pvh | guestish: There's lots of information on the ubuntulinux.org site as well. :) | 06:12 |
| guestish | pvh: i know, im browsing it:) | 06:13 |
| Quest-Master | If I just close a terminal in the middle of it apt-get upgrade'ing, will I break anything? :\ | 06:13 |
| guestish | Quest-Master: um...yes... | 06:13 |
| Xenguy | Quest-Master: I'm assuming that will abort | 06:13 |
| crimsun | Quest-Master: it will stop the apt-get operation, but you can always resume it | 06:13 |
| guestish | Quest-Master: it will break stuff... | 06:13 |
| guestish | Quest-Master: apt-get -f install | 06:14 |
| Quest-Master | Yeah.. it seems this upgrade has a ton to do, and I have to go to sleep and turn off the computer | 06:14 |
| guestish | leave it on.. | 06:14 |
| guestish | or do apt-get -f install in the morning | 06:14 |
| crimsun | Quest-Master: then re-execute the apt-get operation when you awake in the morning | 06:14 |
| guestish | canceling it never has that good of an effect if you are past the downloading phase | 06:15 |
| Quest-Master | Can't go to sleep when it's on.. makes too much noise, hehe. | 06:15 |
| Xenguy | Quest-Master: yeah, apt-get is smart enough to resume where it left off :-) | 06:15 |
| Quest-Master | I'll just stay up a bit. | 06:15 |
| crimsun | Quest-Master: nothing's broken, just restart it when you awake | 06:15 |
| Xenguy | Quest-Master: you don't have to -- you can simply resume in the morning -- no time is lost :-) | 06:15 |

| ells | johnnybezak,what are you running | 06:35 |
| johnnybezak | sorry hehe | 06:35 |
| johnnybezak | ells: i just use nautilus | 06:35 |
| ells | crimsun, you can still download the latest hoary | 06:35 |
| jeavis | crimsun: what do you recommend warty o hoary | 06:35 |
| johnnybezak | jeavis: you can update warty | 06:35 |
| bestadvocate | hey google added a cool weather thinggy | 06:35 |
| ells | johnnybezak, are you running warty | 06:35 |
| crimsun | ells: you can download a milestone (i.e., snapshot) | 06:35 |
| jeavis | johnnybezak: I want to downlaod de iso and burn | 06:35 |
| johnnybezak | ells: hoary | 06:35 |
| crimsun | jeavis: depends on what you want | 06:36 |
| ells | johnnybezak, he will probably be better off downloading the latest iso | 06:36 |
| ells | johnnybezak, can you burn dvds also | 06:36 |
| jeavis | crimsun: I want to check | 06:36 |
| crimsun | jeavis: then try array-6. See the topic. | 06:36 |
| jeavis | crimsun: I can download and burn it | 06:36 |
| ells | jeavis, that is what I would do | 06:36 |
| Agabus | i downloaded array 6 but it didn't work | 06:37 |
| ells | I have downloaded both the current hoary and debian | 06:37 |
| ells | I am torn between the two | 06:37 |
| johnnybezak | jeavis: you've got to d/l warty then update it | 06:37 |
| ells | johnnybezak, I do not believe that is true | 06:37 |
| ells | hoary is available to download | 06:37 |
| ells | in iso | 06:38 |
| johnnybezak | hoary: thats news to me, it hasnt been released yet | 06:38 |
| johnnybezak | ells: youre probably right though | 06:38 |
| ells | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hoary/current/ | 06:38 |
| johnnybezak | ells: as far as nautilus and dvd's i think it can | 06:38 |

| Levander | luciux, do I assume every time I'm looking for my own machine that it's asking for the name of 127.0.0.1, and change the FQDN of that ip from localhost.localdomain, to what it should be, bread.highhat.net? | 07:17 |
| Levander | luciux, i'm trying to figure out how to put my correct FQDN in hosts. I don't know the format to use. | 07:18 |
| sprongie | you ADD that hostname. you dont ever want to get rid of localhost | 07:18 |
| Levander | sprongie, cool, i'm gonna try it | 07:18 |
| mystify | ok, how cheap are we talking cedega? | 07:18 |
| mystify | it says i gotta subscribe on it for 6 months! and thats $30...i just want cedega... | 07:20 |
| Levander | sprongie, yes! that worked! only thing a little different than just adding an entry for bread.highhat.net was that I had to remove the bread alias for localhost.localdomain! | 07:20 |

| Steve_G4 | how about Microsoft AntiSpyware? :-P | 07:24 |
| SiRrUs | crossover is the way to go :) | 07:24 |
| sprongie | Steve_G4: actually that might not. scanner probably would work, the rest puts in some pretty low level hooks | 07:24 |
| Levander | sprongie, any idea how those system calls work? I'm thinking it must know my hostname from /etc/hosts, which is bread. Then it looks up the fqdn, using hosts first since that's how nsswitch.con is set up to do, and in hosts it finds that bread is *now* an alias for highhat.net? Is that prolly how it works? | 07:24 |
| Levander | knows hostname from /etc/hostname* | 07:24 |
| mystify | so is there any alternative nonpaying way of getting cedega? | 07:24 |
| emberly | I am trying to follow these instructions to enable japanese input in ubuntu, but the instructions say to edit my .gnomerc file... and I don't know where that file is or where it should be. where is my .gnomerc file? | 07:24 |

| mystify | im just a kid trying to get city of heroes to work | 07:25 |
| Levander | sprongie, well 127.0.0.1 is before bread.highhat.net, so it's not just order? | 07:25 |
| === streetbmx [~brandon@adsl-8-147-114.mia.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| sprongie | Levander: and they're all 127.0.0.1? not sure then | 07:26 |
| Levander | sprongie, no, first is 127.0.0.1 as localhost, then my private ip 192.168.... as bread | 07:26 |
| emberly | is the .gnomerc file supposed to be in my home directory? | 07:26 |
| sprongie | on my old box, it would prefer to resolve as ipv6 first, so i'd see a lot of connections from ::1 in my logs | 07:26 |
| sprongie | exposed a lot of ipv4 assumptions in my log parsing scripts ;) | 07:27 |
| Levander | sprongie, but you know, I'm thinking if I just took out the bread alias of localhost, then when the resolver tries to look up bread in the hosts file, it would file. Then, as configured in nsswitch.conf, it would fall back to looking it up in DNS, and in there it would find bread. | 07:27 |
| Levander | sprongie, don't think I needed to add an entry for bread.highhat.net to hosts, just think I needed to remove the bread alias from localhost.localdomain | 07:28 |
| sprongie | Levander: that's why, because you're connecting through the 192.168 interface to get it to not show up as localhost. it's actually going through your NIC, not the loopback | 07:28 |
| Levander | what's going through the 192.168 interface? You think the hostname utility is doing that? | 07:29 |
| sprongie | whatever's making you see "localhost" and not "bread" | 07:29 |
| Levander | that was hostname (really worried about 2 other apps, but hostname is the simplest example of problem i could find) | 07:29 |
| Steve_G4 | what is POSIX? | 07:30 |
| sprongie | hostname doesnt know anything about your hosts file | 07:30 |
| sprongie | it's set by /etc/hostname usually | 07:30 |
| Levander | sprongie, when I stop downloading movies off the internet, I can see if router lights flash up when I run host | 07:30 |
| crimsun | Steve_G4: http://www.pasc.org/#POSIX | 07:30 |
| Levander | but the network driver is prolly optimized to prevent that from happening, i'm guessing??? | 07:30 |
| Steve_G4 | thank you | 07:30 |
| sprongie | Levander: yeah it'll hit the nic's internal loopback | 07:30 |
| Levander | when I run hostname* | 07:30 |
| sprongie | it should flash the nic's blinkenlights | 07:31 |
| Levander | sprongie, the nic's loopback is different than some other loopback? | 07:31 |
| sprongie | Levander: 127.0.0.1 is a virtual loopback. all software. | 07:32 |
| Levander | sprongie, if that's the case then, /etc/hosts is really a screwy concept then | 07:32 |
| sprongie | the internal loopback in the nic is a shortcut that tells it to not send a signal but just queue the packet | 07:32 |
| Levander | that's how a lot of programs are using to identify my machine | 07:32 |
| sprongie | an external loopback is an actual piece of testing hardware | 07:32 |
| Levander | like in the title bar of GNU emacs | 07:32 |
| Levander | but, if I use my real, network FQDN on my localhost, all my communications are gonna go through my NIC loopback | 07:33 |
| sprongie | should be just as fast | 07:33 |
| Levander | oh, u think the NIC loopback is as fast the the virtual software loopback? doesn't sound right, to get to the NIC loopback, u gotta go through the PCI bus | 07:34 |
| === thr1ce [~ubuntu@24.231.145.73.gha.mi.chartermi.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Levander | the software loopback is prolly all RAM and CPU which is much faster | 07:34 |
| sprongie | yep | 07:34 |
| Levander | but, i guess I don't really run anything that communications intensive | 07:34 |

| mystify | where do i get winex? | 07:35 |
| sprongie | x shouldnt be using the network at all | 07:35 |
| travisat | bob2: are you here | 07:35 |
| sprongie | modern X servers use unix sockets and shm | 07:35 |
| Levander | you can run an X application on one machine and display it on another it's so networked | 07:35 |
| Levander | what's shm? | 07:35 |
| mystify | where can i download wineX? | 07:35 |
| Levander | unix sockets are networking | 07:36 |

| Levander | sprongie, not sure what u mean? | 07:36 |
| sprongie | unix sockets arent networking, they're a fancier version of a pipe | 07:36 |
| sprongie | namely a many-to-one pipe | 07:37 |
| Levander | in java programming, a socket is what u open for listening to connections from other machines | 07:37 |
| sprongie | that's an inet socket | 07:37 |
| Levander | ooohhhhh | 07:37 |
| sprongie | there's all kinds of sockets | 07:38 |
| Levander | okay, this i did not know | 07:38 |
| sprongie | unix and inet are the only ones actually in use | 07:38 |
| Levander | but u can run an X application and display it on another, they just switch over and use inet socks when X is doing that? | 07:39 |
| Levander | display it on another machine* | 07:39 |

| sprongie | yah, X *can* be set up to only ever do unix sockets, but it rarely is | 07:41 |
| Levander | so, the way I've got my machine set up, it's possible X would be using my NIC loopback next time I restart it? | 07:41 |
| sprongie | X will use unix sockets if you're on the same machine as the X server | 07:42 |
| sprongie | er the X client ... er if they're colocated. you get the idea | 07:42 |
| sprongie | unix sockets are sooper-fast | 07:42 |
| Levander | sprongie, so X prolly knows how to figure out the same thing that the NIC loopback does? | 07:42 |
| Levander | it does the same optimization? | 07:42 |
| sprongie | nope, if you set your display to use your hostname, it assumes nothing | 07:43 |
| mystify | is there any way to get winex without paying? | 07:43 |
| sprongie | that's why you always want to use DISPLAY=:0 and not DISPLAY=bread:0 | 07:43 |
| goldfish_ | i think you only have to pay for support mystify | 07:43 |
| goldfish_ | winex == cedega? | 07:43 |
| mystify | well then where do i get it? | 07:43 |
| sprongie | some servers will DWIM it if you do localhost:0 and actually use a unix socket | 07:43 |
| sprongie | some wont | 07:43 |
| Levander | sprongie, ahha! | 07:43 |
| goldfish_ | mystify: I dont know :) | 07:44 |
| mystify | you have to subscribe to get cedega | 07:44 |
| goldfish_ | hrmm | 07:44 |
| mystify | and i dont have a credit card... | 07:44 |
| goldfish_ | I was told u only had to subscribe for support | 07:44 |

| FlyNavy | Been about 5 years since playing w/ linux, so I have forgotten a lot | 08:30 |
| viper12 | okay, so you're on the stock warty 4.10 build, and using xfree for that. you need to use an editor to open XF86config-4 file to see what settings (specifically the monitor vertical and horizontal settings are listed.)

| goldfish_ | LinuxPie: why? | 08:33 |
| mrproper | fsc, How do I do that stuff? | 08:33 |
| viper12 | its NOT resolutions you need to worry aobut here FlyNavy. Its the vertical and horizontal frequency settings. check your monitor's manual or google the monitor to get those, and then compare them to what is listed in the device section. | 08:33 |
| FlyNavy | Roger that. Do I have to list range or just set specific frequency? | 08:34 |
| LinuxPie | :> | 08:34 |
| viper12 | FlyNavy: here is an example. (don't use these, just look for the similar lines. and then compare what you have in the file to what the monitor NEEDS. | 08:35 |
| viper12 | Section "Monitor" | 08:35 |
| viper12 | Identifier"ENVISION" | 08:35 |
| viper12 | HorizSync30-95 | 08:35 |
| viper12 | VertRefresh50-160 | 08:35 |
| viper12 | Option"DPMS" | 08:35 |
| FlyNavy | Thanks. Remember seeing that. Will give it a shot. Log file showed starting in those and then adjusting to much higher frequency. | 08:35 |
| viper12 | I'm betting the install misidentified your monitor. (The garbage you're looking at on bootup is typical for incorrect sync settings.) | 08:35 |

| _4strO | don't have to search on the web | 12:21 |
| mactiny | the others were clearly still being developed | 12:21 |
| ompaul | it has won - people, in particular microsoft, are going on in the same way, but the change is happening, let us examine for a moment the FireFox situation, it is now over 10% of the browser market, people are wondering is there more of this stuff out there it is happening, it just does not go the way that the Microsofts expect | 12:21 |

| ompaul | mactiny, you defeat your own arguement., the non enthusiast is not going to explore themes or at least will go back to the original | 12:24 |
| mactiny | dont you think there should be a clear ine drawn between developed and developing software | 12:24 |
| tp__ | ompaul.. I'm thinking it might be suspend issues... | 12:24 |
| mactiny | well, my point is that the defualt, may be fairly professional, but i dont think the non enthusiast will like it | 12:25 |

| mactiny | i just hope, that ubuntu sees things from the perspective of the client, who are mostly "dumb". They need lots of pretty pictures, and nice sounds to keep their attention. But from my view, and its an unimformed one, it seems that many linux developers see things from their "ooh, do you know what under the bonnet" perspective. Am i worng in thinking that. | 12:35 |

| njan | thoreauputic, as long as it doesn't wind up like #debian in here.. it has to be said, use of a bot to answer a question tends to be accompanie dby incredibly rude and arrogant behaviour. | 01:56 |
| thoreauputic | njan: well, so far the uMkulu bot just directs people to URLs and such | 01:57 |
| njan | thoreauputic, please, please don't let it get like debian. The ubuntu/#ubuntu community is one of the biggest advantages ubuntu has over plain debian :) | 01:58 |
| thoreauputic | restricted formats, howtos, that kind of thing | 01:58 |
| njan | so no !tellthispersonwhyhismisguidedassumptionmakeshimabadperson ? | 01:59 |
| thoreauputic | njan: I agree with you - but wouldn't you say it's easier to type a keyword than constantly typing long URLs? | 01:59 |
| njan | thoreauputic, totally :) | 01:59 |
| njan | thoreauputic, the reason I mention it is, I get in lots of .. debates .. :p .. in #debian and with others in the debian community about this ;) | 01:59 |
| thoreauputic | njan: well, try /msg uMkulu keywords and see if there's anything objectionable there | 02:00 |
| njan | especially when the issue is something contentious and picky, like use of the word 'stable' (the english language usage vs. the debian usage) | 02:00 |
| njan | thoreauputic, I take your word for it; like I said I was just raising the issue because I think it's important :) | 02:00 |
| selinium_ | Hi thoreauputic! | 02:00 |

| njan | <njan> australia | 02:01 |
| njan | <uMkulu> well, australia is the place to be! | 02:01 |
| njan | very objectionable :p | 02:01 |

| selinium_ | thoreauputic: I am still trying to get my palm device to work... AAAAARRGH! | 02:01 |
| thoreauputic | njan: hehe - well just do "forget australia" ;) | 02:01 |
| daniels | for what it's worth, I made the bot +q | 02:01 |

| njan | <uMkulu> njan: I forgot australia | 02:02 |
| njan | always good :) | 02:02 |

| daniels | if you need to tell people stuff, then tell them stuff | 02:02 |
| spiral | any idea of when we will have ooo2 beta in hoary ? | 02:02 |
| daniels | if you need to write long extended texts, write the on the wiki | 02:02 |
| johnnybezak | what if the bots one day revolt and take the channel over metropolis style? | 02:02 |
| daniels | if you need to write random weird stuff like !drink or whatever, do it in /msg | 02:02 |
| thoreauputic | daniels: umm... is this a community or do your views get precedence? | 02:02 |
| daniels | spiral: it's, er, already there | 02:02 |

| spiral | daniels: is it really in hoary ? | 02:03 |

| johnnybezak | hehe we could just get a bot to say RTFFAQ! :P | 02:05 |
| spiral | daniels: so what is the name of the package in this case ? | 02:06 |
| njan | johnnybezak, then this would be #debian :p | 02:06 |
| spiral | daniels: I just found the testing 74 release | 02:06 |
| johnnybezak | njan: yeah im just jokin | 02:06 |
| njan | johnnybezak, likewise ;) | 02:06 |
| thoreauputic | OK - doesn't bother me, and I didn't bring the bot anyway - I just found it useful to answer repeated questions that pop up all the time | 02:06 |
| sleon|tuX | the problem is | 02:06 |
| sleon|tuX | when i insert cd's they are not shown on the desktop anymore | 02:07 |
| sleon|tuX | and then i insert audio cd's they are not played automatically anymore | 02:07 |
| daniels | spiral: ah, I don't know. if it's just testing 74 or whatever, then it hasn't been updated yet | 02:07 |
| sleon|tuX | and now hald damon is runnins anymore | 02:07 |
| sleon|tuX | only dubs | 02:07 |
| sleon|tuX | why ? | 02:07 |
| sleon|tuX | and how to fix that? | 02:07 |
| njan | for my 2c, a bot's useful for recalling URLs and non-contentious factoids. But anything explanatory needs to be done by people or, like someone pointed out, is too lengthy to be pasted into IRC. I thoroughly dislike how bots are used in #debian. | 02:07 |
| spiral | daniels: all right, so I hope it will be updated :-) | 02:07 |
| apokryphos | I disagree that bots *shouldn't* be here. That is a little too extreme; it's pointless searching for the same link, or venturing into my bookmarks when a command can give the link to the person in question faster, and with less effort from my side. | 02:07 |
| pchiller | the RestrictedFormats wiki page mentions LAME but does not mention that it is only found in multiverse | 02:07 |
| njan | And in fact, factoids are better explained by people in any case. | 02:08 |
| njan | apokryphos, agreed - a lot of the time, people in here know the link is 'on the forums', but don't know where | 02:08 |
| apokryphos | njan: that's obviously not necessarily true. But anyhow, the "facts" explained on a wiki or done by a person, are they not? | 02:08 |
| apokryphos | *are done | 02:08 |
| bob2 | njan: they're used in that like #debian because (among other reasons) people absolutely REFUSE to read the faq | 02:08 |

| apokryphos | njan: that factoids are better explained by people. Though, you'd probably have to expand on what you mean by that if we were to get technical ;-) | 02:09 |
| njan | bob2, I've been botted plenty of times in debian by people who obviously hadn't even bothered reading my question. | 02:09 |
| njan | bob2, and in a lot of instances people use the bots as weapons to bludgeon other people with, ideologically. | 02:09 |

| help-me | but still i can't get it to work | 02:11 |
| njan | bob2, it depends how you want your community to work. No-one ever reads all available documentation, so if you want to get pedantic, you can always tell someone to RTF M/FAQ/Documentation | 02:11 |
| bob2 | sleon|tuX: does restarted hal work? | 02:11 |
| bob2 | sleon|tuX: or dbus? | 02:11 |
| sleon|tuX | bob2, nope | 02:11 |
| sleon|tuX | bob2, i did | 02:11 |
| sleon|tuX | /etc/init.d/dbus-1 restart | 02:11 |
| sleon|tuX | there is now hald is running | 02:11 |
| sleon|tuX | after it | 02:11 |
| sleon|tuX | and also inserting media causes no reaction | 02:11 |
| njan | bob2, there are lots of instances of people obviously not putting *any* effort into reading the FAQ, but in my experience with online communities, the best way to get people like that to advance their learning is to actually talk to them rather than flaming them and making them feel unwelcome in a community they're probably only just coming to understand and have only just discovered. | 02:12 |

I've used the word 'stable' in the english language context in more than one instance in #debian where there's been a response from a community member who obviously hadn't read what I'd written and bludgeoned me because they misunderstood what they did read because they assumed something about my usage of the word :) | 02:20 |
| bob2 | but I'd hate to see it turn into a lazy community where people expect they can just bother other people for help without reading the FAQ or whatever | 02:20 |
| Echylo | if some people would check www.ubuntuguide.org | 02:20 |
| njan | johnnybezak, bob2, definitely. The ubuntu community rocks. | 02:20 |
| Echylo | it's a great place | 02:20 |
| njan | bob2, Also agreed. The balance is a hard one to find :) | 02:20 |
| Echylo | and you find the most common problems there | 02:20 |
| njan | because .. because .. because.. I need a thesaurus.. | 02:20 |
| bob2 | njan: #debian has the problem of being under constant assault from clueless people who get abusive when told to read documentation | 02:21 |
| wheelbarr | im i in the right channel for help with ubuntu hoary ? | 02:21 |
| bob2 | so most of the regulars are bitter and annoyed | 02:21 |
| bob2 | zenwhen: yes | 02:21 |
| bob2 | which is a shame, since probably the most active 10 people in there do 90%+ of the support | 02:21 |
| njan | bob2, #debian needs to lease the alt.gothic special forces ;) | 02:21 |
| zenwhen | does the current pango seem a bit slow to anyone? | 02:21 |
| thoreauputic | wheelbarr: yes | 02:21 |
| sleon|tuX | how does dbus-1 on top of hal works? | 02:21 |
| daniels | wheelbarr: yeah | 02:21 |
| sleon|tuX | does does it need to automatically mount media? | 02:21 |
| sleon|tuX | what does it * | 02:21 |
| wheelbarr | just ask away ? | 02:21 |
| === help-me [~hacker@82-34-178-88.cable.ubr01.sout.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| daniels | sleon|tuX: er, no -- hal runs on top of dbus-1 (it's a service that listens on dbus for events) | 02:22 |
| johnnybezak | sleon|tuX: you don't want to know hehe | 02:22 |
| daniels | wheelbarr: you got it | 02:22 |
| sleon|tuX | :) | 02:22 |
| bob2 | daniels: sleeeeeeeeeep | 02:22 |
| njan | bob2, indeed. It has to be noted, though, debian has one of the best communities of all the distros. Many smaller distros have channels that don't even have anyone alive in them.. imo, only gentoo matched debian before ubuntu came along | 02:22 |
| wheelbarr | I'm trying to boot from the hoary live CD on a toshiba 2210CDT and all I get is the mouse, works fine, but nothing else. Checked the web site and the 2210CDT is said to work fine. Is this the right channel for this | 02:22 |
| wheelbarr | ? | 02:22 |
| help-me | hey bob2 what were the software you said i needed ? i forgotto write it down | 02:22 |
| help-me | :) | 02:22 |
| daniels | sleon|tuX: err ... hal runs on top of dbus-1, and sends events out saying 'hey, someone threw a usb thumbdrive in', and then gnome-volume-manager or similar does the actual mounting | 02:22 |
| bob2 | njan: hm, I found the gentoo irc channel to be terribile | 02:22 |
| njan | bob2, I've used debian for a fairly long time (a really long time, thinking about it), and that's mostly why | 02:22 |
| njan | bob2, howcome? (Interested) | 02:22 |
| bob2 | njan: the clueless leading the clueless in a lot of cases | 02:22 |
| johnnybezak | wheelbarr: yeah the right place hehe | 02:22 |
| sleon|tuX | daniels, then the problem is that hal isn't running | 02:23 |
| sleon|tuX | at all | 02:23 |
| thoreauputic | njan: #debian is OK for the thick skinned or those who lurk for a while before asking ;-) | 02:23 |
| daniels | wheelbarr: what do you mean 'but nothing else'? is the screen dead? keyboard? | 02:23 |
| help-me | gxine? | 02:23 |
| daniels | sleon|tuX: have you looked at the output of ps auxww? | 02:23 |
| njan | bob2, that's started happening a lot more recently, but you're right; that's the disadvantage of having a 'trendy' distribution. | 02:23 |
| help-me | and what else? | 02:23 |
| wheelbarr | comes up with the splash screen to load stuff then goes blank with only the mouse working | 02:23 |
| sleon|tuX | daniels, moment | 02:23 |
| daniels | sleon|tuX: there are some bugs in g-v-m and hal lately with this osrt of thing | 02:23 |
| njan | bob2, if you get the right people, there are a lot of knowledgable people in there, esp. if you have a query which is well explained; the clueless tend to shy away from properly worded technical queries. | 02:23 |
| bob2 | njan: which is something that hits ubuntu, too, but I'm not really sure what to do about. e | 02:23 |
| njan | bob2, careful monitoring and supervision :) | 02:24 |
| sleon|tuX | root@marjan:/home/marjan/Desktop # ps auxww|grep hald | 02:24 |

| sleon|tuX | dand, | 02:24 |
| wheelbarr | CDrom keeps buzzing away | 02:24 |
| sleon|tuX | daniels, | 02:24 |
| bob2 | njan: except to have a good quality library of documentation that people are encouraged to read | 02:24 |
| sleon|tuX | daniels, no it is not running but the dbus does | 02:24 |
| sleon|tuX | and hald is installed | 02:24 |
| njan | bob2, unless you want to start +ving competant community members to denote expertise, the only thing you can do is watch and ensure. | 02:24 |
| bob2 | njan: the #ubuntu group of clueful regulars isn't quite big enough yet, afaict | 02:24 |

| bob2 | njan: yeah | 02:25 |

| njan | bob2, I know they were when I ran an active channel on here, but then, freenode didn't really like the channel | 02:26 |
| sleon|tuX | gnome-volume-manager exits when hal is not running | 02:26 |
| sleon|tuX | ok | 02:26 |
| sleon|tuX | so i need to start the freakin hal manually | 02:26 |
| sleon|tuX | then gnome-volume-manager | 02:26 |

| bob2 | hah, indeed | 02:27 |
| njan | bob2, tbh, msdn.microsoft.com has some cracking documentation, but #windows is dead as a doornail. | 02:27 |
| njan | bob2, there are no good windows or microsoft-related IRC channels which I've ever managed to find, ever. There are some great mailing lists, but that's just not the same. | 02:27 |

| factotum | buenos tardes | 02:28 |
| factotum | lol | 02:28 |
| wheelbarr | The Warty Warthog worked fine, just had to change the screen res at boot. It did ask if I wanted to creat a swap file which I did, but hoary doesnt prompt me to make a swap file. Checked the help and couldnt find anything on that. | 02:28 |
| factotum | anyone try to apt-get gftp and run into a dep problem? | 02:28 |
| njan | bob2, possibly - at a high level though, there's actually quite a good commmunity of *proper* windows administrators, people who've actually bothered to learn the technology they're using before getting their MSCE | 02:28 |
| zenwhen | bob2, your abrasive nature was what originally prompted me to start looking elsewhere for help. I suppose the fact that I felt i was goig to be "flamed" each time I asked for help pushed me to find written documentation. | 02:29 |
| njan | bob2, as far as desktop users are concerned, you're spot on; but in the SME/Enterprise/Corporate marketplace, there are a lot of really clever people who really know MS technology. | 02:29 |
| bob2 | zenwhen: I'm sorry I came across like that. | 02:29 |

| njan | zenwhen, yup. I moved from hoary => warty partly for that reason | 02:31 |

| Funraiser | well go to ubuntuguide.org then | 03:31 |

| Funraiser | i mean big time | 03:32 |
| jono | ogra, something I have talked about at various conferences is the idea of developing an online repsitory of automatically generated FDI files, and then when you install a distribution, the distro could download the FDI files (or include them on the CD) and automate the sane defaults - you could reasonably include things such as X resolution in a graphics card FDI file and monitor rates in a monitor FDI file, and then configuration of X and the monitor goes away :) | 03:32 |
| ogra | jono: but that would involve the need being online at install time..... | 03:33 |
| dgr | thoreauputic: now, how do I enhance the drivers? (and does that really solve the slow-GUI problem?) | 03:33 |
| thierry | so, thoreauputic, any idea where I could add these bookmarks in firefox source? | 03:33 |
| larsson_ | When i use the vidix driver in xine, and use tv-out, the xine window on my TV is purple, but it looks fine on my monitor. Any ideas? | 03:33 |
| thoreauputic | thierry: no, sorry I don't know | 03:33 |
| thierry | k... | 03:33 |
| ogra | jono: improving the aotudetection mechanisms based on this data is probably a better approach.... | 03:33 |
| thierry | this is really an easy-fix but I Just can't find where to fix it! | 03:34 |
| dgr | thierry: what do you wanna do? | 03:34 |
| Funraiser | tu cherches quoi thierry? | 03:34 |

| thoreauputic | dgr: don't know that either - but evidently what you tried didn't work for you, so I guess disabling it would make sense | 03:34 |
| thierry | ubuntu bug 3176: I want to add ubuntu bookmarks in the ubuntu firefox source package | 03:34 |
| jono | ogra, well, you could include a snapshot of all FDI files with the distro, they are only tiny text files, and any devices configured after the network is up can use the online repository - most distros try to get online ASAP so as to offer the ability to download packages and security fixes | 03:35 |
| dgr | thoreauputic: I did | 03:35 |

| Echylo | but I don't have the program | 03:38 |
| Echylo | can someone help? | 03:38 |
| jono | ogra, spot on :) I think where this is interesting is that when I developed some ideas for an online driven hardware database, I thought the most difficult bit was getting usable data from *normal* users; this has been done already with hwdb-client :) I think the key is in hooking that data into the distro so it truly automates the process - if the data is left on a website for users to deal with themselves, it won't be much use, but if it automates hardware conf | 03:38 |
| jono | iguration, it will really make a difference - HAL is the ideal middleware to make this happen | 03:38 |

| thoreauputic | dgr: you can get icons on a flux deaktop (or an icewm desktop, or... you get the idea) | 03:40 |
| jono | ogra, where it gets really interesting is when you open up a channel for meta-data - imagine asking the user what the best resolution for their graphics card is or some other user information that could possibly be un-detected; this way you have the opportunity to then use the community to step above autodetection - naturally this requires some moderation, but there are various options... | 03:40 |

| Goshawk | yes | 04:49 |
| Goshawk | S99 is the last script | 04:49 |

| Goshawk | they are ordered for name | 04:50 |
| Goshawk | S99b comes after S99a | 04:50 |
| xoxoxo | then you must choose the "good" name for it | 04:50 |
| xoxoxo | still bad solution | 04:50 |

| andrewski | i really liked gentoo, but the endless compiling wore on me. now, in ubuntu, i sacrifice the availability of any package i come across.... win some, lose some. | 06:06 |
| rattboi | you can still compile from source | 06:06 |
| andrewski | rattboi: yes, that's true, but it's much more a pain in the butt to keep track of. | 06:07 |
| rattboi | yeah | 06:07 |
| andrewski | i know i can't... | 06:07 |
| NobleArc | Compilation from source of X.Org scares me. | 06:07 |
| andrewski | NobleArc: you mean in gentoo? | 06:07 |
| NobleArc | on this machine, it took about an hour or two, but on my old 400 MHz one, it took two days. >.< | 06:07 |
| NobleArc | yes, in Gentoo. | 06:07 |
| rattboi | I never used gentoo, so I don't know how easy it is to compile | 06:07 |
| andrewski | NobleArc: i mean, it takes a while, but it's rather painless. | 06:08 |
| rattboi | NobleArc, that was probably memory-limited | 06:08 |
| andrewski | rattboi: as is most compiling. | 06:08 |
| NobleArc | Still. | 06:08 |
| NobleArc | The pain! | 06:08 |
| andrewski | NobleArc: you mean the time. | 06:08 |
| NobleArc | er, yes. | 06:08 |
| NobleArc | The time! | 06:08 |
| andrewski | :P | 06:08 |
| NobleArc | ..of pain! | 06:08 |
| rattboi | what makes Ubuntu so much harder to compile with? | 06:08 |
| rattboi | usually it's the same ./configure, make, make install stuff | 06:08 |
| NobleArc | uh, lack of gcc when you first install it? -_- | 06:08 |
| rattboi | bah, "sudo apt-get install build-essential" | 06:09 |
| rattboi | solved that | 06:09 |
| andrewski | rattboi: since that's what you do in gentoo, portage keeps track of things, keeps the source in this directory, installs to this directory, and makes exceptions based on the program so that it's rather painless. | 06:09 |
| rattboi | oh, it's source packages then | 06:09 |
| andrewski | rattboi: emerge program and (after the time...) you have it ready to go. | 06:09 |

| Hikaru79 | If I have a computer that is dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows, and I want to get rid of Ubuntu, once I delete the partitions with Ubuntu on it, do I have to do anything to the boot record for it to automatically load Windows from now on? | 06:36 |
| Quest-Master | If gedit had auto-tabbing, I'd use it | 06:36 |
| JDigital | oh, I think I found java. neato. | 06:36 |
| Quest-Master | Hikaru79: Yes | 06:36 |
| billytwowilly | fdisk mdr | 06:36 |
| knucks | anyone? | 06:36 |
| JDigital | I like nano | 06:36 |
| knucks | I cant get RealPlayer working in firefox | 06:36 |
| billytwowilly | But you should go the other way and get rid of windows;) | 06:36 |
| Hikaru79 | I just do 'fdisk mdr'? That's it? | 06:36 |
| dampjam | Hikaru79: you can either leave it running grub, or put yoru windows disk in and have it repair the boot | 06:36 |
| JDigital | but I prefer gedit when it comes to GUI-based editors | 06:36 |
| Hikaru79 | Ah | 06:36 |
| Quest-Master | Hikaru79: You'll need your Windows XP install CD, open up a Recovery console | 06:36 |
| Hikaru79 | Okay =0 | 06:36 |
| LinuxJones | Hikaru79, fdisk mbr ? | 06:36 |
| NobleArc | isn't it mbr.. o_o | 06:37 |
| Hikaru79 | *=) That's not a problem | 06:37 |
| Quest-Master | Hikaru79: Then type in fixmbr | 06:37 |
| JDigital | Ouch, I forgot that Java is 61MB | 06:37 |
| Hikaru79 | *mbr | 06:37 |
| Quest-Master | Hikaru79: Then type in fixboot | 06:37 |
| JDigital | I once downloaded Java and split it onto fourteen disks to take it home | 06:37 |
| JDahl | JDigital, I hear you! my favorite editor is Notepad via Wine... | 06:37 |
| JDigital | that was fun | 06:37 |
| Hikaru79 | fixboot or fixmbr? | 06:37 |
| Quest-Master | Hikaru79: And that will fix it all. :) | 06:37 |
| Quest-Master | Both. | 06:37 |
| NobleArc | sick. notepad. | 06:37 |
| Hikaru79 | Oh, booth? | 06:37 |
| Hikaru79 | *both? | 06:37 |
| Quest-Master | Yes. | 06:37 |
| Hikaru79 | Okay =) Thanks guys | 06:37 |
| JDigital | Gedit gives all the advantages of notepad, but with also extra functions. | 06:37 |
| JDahl | NobleArc, I was joking, of course | 06:37 |
| dampjam | I have a 1280x768 resolution and this: http://www.leog.net/fujp_forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5371 works, but I was wondeirng if there was a "correct" way to do it, instead of patching the vbios | 06:37 |
| Quest-Master | fixboot usually isn't needed, but is in rare cases. | 06:37 |

| Xenguy | cwillu: it depends on your application really, and on the type of problem. You would need to explore a bit. For example you could do 'ls -ltr' to see which files are most recent (appearing at the bottom of the screen). If I were you tho, I'd open a terminal window, type 'mozilla' and then watch for any error messages to appear. That would give you a starting point, maybe a few more clues. | 07:12 |

| cwillu | I use vnc all the time, but what I really want is to mix local and remote on the same desktop, transparently | 08:26 |
| zenrox | cwillu, another way is enable the xdmcp in the gdm and use tsclient to connect to it like you would and get a gdm login | 08:26 |
| cwillu | anybody here ever use citrix? | 08:26 |
| Xenguy | cwillu: just a suggestion in case yer still having problems at all: man sshd_config and read the section on 'X11Forwarding' | 08:27 |
| cwillu | :p | 08:27 |
| cwillu | I can get xterm up, I can start remote apps | 08:27 |

| cwillu | xnest, xdmcp et al is not what I'm looking for | 08:27 |
| zenrox | cwillu, just an idea | 08:27 |
| cwillu | Citrix Program Neighborhood would be close though | 08:27 |
| cwillu | but I don't think you guys know what the heck I'm talking about :) | 08:28 |
| zenrox | i use ssh -Y -l and i run my xchat thauru it | 08:28 |
| Xenguy | snowblink: if true, that is the opposite of Debian then (and I doubt it is a good idea actually - JMHO tho) | 08:28 |

| ompaul | okay just went from warty to hoary in the main what I have used seems okay, just two comments and I will write these up later, the mouse has changed, this also happened to a box that was array 5 at startup and was upgraded yesterday, the second and more worrying one is the fact that there is no comment in /etc/apt/sources.list which points me to a `proper` hoary sources.list that might be useful and the second thing is the obvious fail | 08:31 |

| ibo | bagpuss.. i guess its not yet there | 09:40 |
| cwillu | the front ends are just that: front-ends for the cli. In many cases, any gui would revert to being a text editor if it provided the full power of the cli | 09:40 |

| Funraiser | if i'm not mistaken this prob is common when the install is done from the binary...the lib is there but the versions are slightly different, and u can't make the install... | 10:11 |
| roam | cwillu: is there something like a changelog for hoary? So I can tell if it's worth trying? | 10:11 |

| cwillu | you mean the instaler or after ti finished? | 10:13 |
| roam | I had X after running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, but that should happen at installtime, I guess. | 10:13 |

| knucks | try this anyways: | 10:27 |
| Funraiser | but mplayer can be installed from synaptic | 10:27 |
| knucks | right | 10:27 |
| knucks | what u need to do is add extra repositories | 10:27 |
| knucks | from marillat | 10:27 |
| andrewski | maddog: well, nautilus -q should hang for a minute, but it should spit you back at your prompt after that... | 10:27 |
| andrewski | minute = about 10 seconds, actually. :P | 10:27 |
| knucks | Funraise: http://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories | 10:27 |
| maddog | i'll try again | 10:27 |
| Funraiser | i see it in synaptic | 10:27 |
| Funraiser | yeah i did it | 10:27 |
| knucks | ok | 10:27 |
| socketbind | btw, where i should check for mplayer with gui support enabled? | 10:27 |
| Funraiser | tks | 10:27 |
| knucks | now do this: | 10:27 |
| knucks | socketbind; i wish i knew | 10:28 |
| socketbind | mplayer, mplayer-586 didn't got for me gui support... | 10:28 |
| socketbind | i likeit better that xine | 10:28 |
| socketbind | maybe coz i'm hungarian :) | 10:28 |
| maddog | nautilus -q is still hanging | 10:28 |
| Vishaakje | I've created an upload share with parameters: 'read only = no' and 'guest ok = yes'. I can connect to the share but can't write to it. Anybody any ideas? | 10:28 |
| knucks | i got the mplayer thing off unbuntuguide. | 10:28 |
| knucks | and its not a gui at all | 10:28 |
| andrewski | maddog: yikes, that's strange. i'd check #gnome about it, or post a bug report on bugzilla.ubuntu.org | 10:29 |
| andrewski | maddog: sorry i can't help more. | 10:29 |
| socketbind | well god knows why they didn't compiled in gui support, knucks | 10:29 |
| larsrohdin | does anyone have time to help me with a gtk question? | 10:29 |

| knucks | im pretty new to this | 10:29 |
| knucks | i dont remember what its called | 10:29 |
| socketbind | maybe their fingers would crack if they had typed --enable-gui | 10:29 |
| knucks | it might be like gmplayer | 10:29 |
| knucks | or something like that | 10:29 |
| andrewski | maddog: well, i don't think that'll work (because that's what i had you do :), but it's worth a shot. | 10:30 |
| socketbind | try to compile it from source it isn't that bad | 10:30 |
| andrewski | knucks: mplayer-gnome, IIRC | 10:30 |
| Xappe | why not just compile it yourself? | 10:30 |
| larsrohdin | andrewski, whatever gtk-theme i use, the windowbar stays the same, everything else changes... what am I doing wrong? | 10:30 |
| larsrohdin | andrewski, im using fluxbox | 10:30 |
| andrewski | larsrohdin: they're separate, you're doing nothing wrong. | 10:30 |
| knucks | Xppe: how? | 10:30 |
| larsrohdin | andrewski, ok so i have to find a matching fluxbox style or what? | 10:31 |
| knucks | how do i compile it? | 10:31 |
| knucks | i want to have a gui | 10:31 |
| knucks | i got mplayer from the mariatt repository.. | 10:31 |
| andrewski | larsrohdin: fluxbox has its own themes, as does any WM. if you use metacity (gnome's WM), it'll change too, but not any others. | 10:31 |
| socketbind | ./configure --enable-gui | 10:31 |
| knucks | but it sucks | 10:31 |
| socketbind | knucks | 10:31 |
| knucks | eh? | 10:31 |
| Xappe | knucks, download the tarball, read the README, take care of dependencies and compile | 10:31 |
| socketbind | ./configure --enable-gui | 10:31 |
| knucks | where do i type that | 10:31 |
| knucks | <n00b | 10:31 |
| socketbind | oh | 10:31 |
| socketbind | download it | 10:31 |
| andrewski | larsrohdin: why are you using fluxbox? | 10:31 |
| socketbind | extract | 10:31 |
| socketbind | cd to the dir where it is | 10:31 |
| knucks | well i already apt-get it | 10:31 |
| socketbind | ./configure --enable-gui | 10:32 |
| socketbind | but you need the sources knucks | 10:32 |
| larsrohdin | andrewski, i like it... gnome was boring=) | 10:32 |
| knucks | socketbind: where do i get them from then | 10:32 |
| andrewski | larsrohdin: well, it's not really exciting itself.... but anyway, you can just get online and download a theme. | 10:32 |
| socketbind | should i give you a link knucks? | 10:32 |
| knucks | yes please | 10:32 |
| socketbind | okey dokey | 10:33 |
| larsrohdin | andrewski, but the rest of the window changes, its just the top bar that stays the same... | 10:33 |
| Venker | goodbye people | 10:33 |
| andrewski | larsrohdin: yes, that's because the top bar is 'controlled' by fluxbox, not by gtk. | 10:33 |
