| === farruinn thinks it ought to be installed by default however.. | ||
| farruinn | shadeofgrey: the program isn't looking there | 04:25 |
| eyequeue | sal002: warty? | 04:25 |
| sal002 | No..my install after first reboot just brought up a prompt | 04:26 |
| error_29 | ok ok jdub, i believe you! I'll check 'em all out! ;-) | 04:26 |
| sal002 | yes | 04:26 |
| farruinn | shadeofgrey: does the program have its own fonts directory? | 04:26 |
| Martok | farriunn: I don't know. I'm still an ogg/gnu/linux newbie. | 04:26 |
| bur[n] er | anyoen know if the latest ubuntu release includes a bootsplash? | 04:26 |
| sal002 | argh! can't find package! | 04:26 |
| jdub | bur[n] er: it doesn't. | 04:26 |
| mikep | just upgraded to hoary. the install was a little long but went smooth. so far so good. | 04:26 |
| eyequeue | sal002: apt-get install gdm perhaps | 04:26 |
| jdub | bur[n] er: we're not going to use bootsplash itself, ever. | 04:26 |
| bur[n] er | a bootpslash alternative? or just nothing? | 04:27 |
| jdub | bur[n] er: we were hoping to ship a userspace graphical boot thingy, but were unable to. | 04:27 |
| jdub | hopefully next release | 04:27 |
| bur[n] er | aww, righto, just curious :) | 04:27 |
| difekta | graphical boot? | 04:27 |
| === Funraiser can't wait to see what the internet will be like when everyone's cell phone will have a 1mega upload speed...now that will be filesharing | ||
| difekta | it already has a splash screen. | 04:27 |
| difekta | oh! you mean like instead of grub's text? | 04:27 |
| jdub | difekta: no, the entire boot process | 04:27 |
| farruinn | Martok: make sure gstreamer-vorbis is installed | 04:27 |
| shadeofgrey | i havent the slightest idea | 04:27 |
| difekta | dude, ubuntu is seriously starting to look like something grandma could use. | 04:27 |
| bur[n] er | bootsplash needs a special kernel thing... is that built into the ubuntu kernel so I can add one post-install? or do I need to make my own if i want a pretty boot up? | 04:27 |
| difekta | jdub: uh..like i said, grub? | 04:27 |
| shadeofgrey | farruinn: but it would seem to be the case hmmmm? | 04:28 |
| difekta | oh no, i see what you mean. | 04:28 |
| bur[n] er | difekta: after grub... before gnome | 04:28 |
| eyequeue | difekta: i've already installed it for a greatgrandmother | 04:28 |
| difekta | right. | 04:28 |
| Funraiser | difekta maybe not grandma but mum yes | 04:28 |
| sal002 | hmm..where are my apt-get sources configured? | 04:28 |
| jdub | difekta: grub is the bootloader, only appears for a couple of seconds. the boot process includes everything after that until gdm appears. | 04:28 |
| eyequeue | Funraiser: i've already installed it for a greatgrandmother | 04:28 |
| difekta | yup. | 04:28 |
| Funraiser | and is she "using" it? | 04:28 |
| error_29 | just as long as prettier doesn't mean slower... | 04:28 |
| eyequeue | yes | 04:29 |
| farruinn | shadeofgrey: if you paid 60 bucks for the thing I'd imagine you could get some support for it | 04:29 |
| farruinn | shadeofgrey: or at least check its documentation | 04:29 |
| ponds | anyone tried gnome-keyring yet? i cant seem to find what im supposed to run to get the ui... | 04:29 |
| difekta | i still really think that non-critical services should boot as a last priority to getting the login up. | 04:29 |
| Funraiser | that greatgrandmother is 60? | 04:29 |

| hayden | sproingie, i want to compare if they both equal the same then do something | 04:33 |

| difekta | does anyone know what's wrong with my fstab entry? | 04:35 |
| hayden | ok ill use that instead | 04:35 |
| Funraiser | farruinn when something works very well very often that is because it is old and has been tested extensively, when it's flawless that means it's old and people are using something else, newer, but with...flaws...hence when it's flawless, it's useless | 04:35 |
| PacoBCN | ok, Azureus issue solved | 04:35 |
| asubedi | so the new kernel does not have sonypi compiled? | 04:35 |
| curator | Anyone have any idea while formatting a new partition during ubuntu install might fail? Tried ext3, ext2, reiserfs, and even fat16. | 04:35 |
| sproingie | hayden: but check argc to make sure you have that many args. otherwise crashie crashie | 04:36 |
| sproingie | i dont recommend fat16 :) | 04:36 |
| sproingie | curator: fail how? | 04:36 |
| curator | Yeah, I know, but just making sure nothing worked. :) | 04:36 |
| hayden | yep | 04:36 |
| curator | The background turns red and it says "failed creating filesystem". It then pops back to the partition screen. | 04:37 |
| sproingie | ah nice. is there an error log on another vc? | 04:37 |
| hayden | sproingie, if i type this to run the program is EXIT argv[0] or [1] ./a.out EXIT | 04:37 |

| hayden | sproingie, i am used to java where the args start at arg[0] i believe | 04:39 |
| sproingie | hayden: it's easier to think of argv as representing the whole command line | 04:39 |
| sproingie | hayden: there's lots of programs that actually change behavior on argv[0] . busybox for one | 04:39 |
| Funraiser | personnaly i'm not using ubuntu because windows sucks (xp never crashed on me..)but only because it's free | 04:39 |
| hayden | ok | 04:40 |
| eyequeue | hayden: 0 is used to see "what was i invoked as?" sometimes | 04:40 |
| hayden | yep | 04:40 |
| sproingie | changing argv[0] is one of those things that used to be deep magic | 04:40 |
| sproingie | nowadays it's almost portable | 04:40 |
| cbgb | what can i do with my resolution with ubuntu 1024X768 85 Hz does not work | 04:41 |
| sproingie | Funraiser: i use and like both linux and windows. for very different reasons | 04:41 |
| error_29 | comparing linux with windows is kind of silly nowadays; for me, windows means all the terrific open source stuff written for windows or ported to it. | 04:41 |
| hayden | hmm, i changed the strcmp statement to this -> if (strncmp(argv[1] , "exit", 81) == 0) but if i type EXIT as argv[1] it doesnt do as it should? | 04:41 |
| hayden | but works with "exit" | 04:41 |
| sproingie | error_29: right on | 04:42 |
| curator | Okay, trying to format hda2, both mke2fs and tune2fs complain no such file /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2. There is in fact no such file there. Any clue what I've messed up? | 04:42 |

| Funraiser | it is only because they can fight evidences too long | 04:45 |
| Funraiser | they HAD to accept darwin | 04:45 |

| error_29 | The Church just had a hard time giving up Aristotle and Ptolemy, and other pet pagans. | 04:49 |

| fitz | anyone have a radeon running with the ati binary drivers in hoary? | 05:52 |
| sproingie | fitz: me | 05:52 |
| JDahl | desrt, what is "USE flags"? | 05:52 |
| fitz | what did you do to get it running? | 05:52 |
| desrt | JDahl; it tells the package manager about things that you like and don't like | 05:52 |
| desrt | for example, if i want to install mplayer, it requires xmms which requires a whole bunch of other stuff (like all of gtk1, glib1, etc) | 05:53 |
| sproingie | fitz: apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx | 05:53 |
| azriel0184 | how do you remove a wireless interface? | 05:53 |
| desrt | in gentoo i'd just add "-xmms" to my USE flags and be done with it | 05:53 |
| Amaranth | anyone got a lexmark p707 working with ubuntu? | 05:53 |
| sproingie | fitz: then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace the line that says Driver "ati" with Driver "fglrx" | 05:53 |
| desrt | then mplayer wouldn't depend on xmms | 05:53 |
| fitz | yea | 05:53 |
| fitz | I did that | 05:53 |
| azriel0184 | or change it to default to a wired interface? | 05:53 |
| === kutucape [~zayn@202.152.170.254] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| sproingie | fitz: make sure you have 24 bit depth. the driver can't do anything else | 05:55 |

| azriel0184 | hey guys, how do i change ubuntu to default to a different interface for networking? (i have 2 NIC's) | 05:56 |
| sproingie | also forget about subpixel antialiasing and composite. both nonfunctional with ati's driver | 05:56 |
| lunitik | desrt: and its usually at night enless you need it for something you're doing now... in which case, waiting is frustrating! | 05:56 |
| sproingie | i should have gotten the nvidia card | 05:56 |
| sproingie | i kinda thought the subpixel font AA was all software, but apparently not | 05:57 |
| fitz | I know ati drivers suck | 05:57 |
| JDahl | desrt, so you're basically just unhappy with binary packages, then? no "USE" flag would resolve that... if you're going to build a lot of debian packages yourself, check out "apt-get build-dep xxx" to automatically install all necessary libraries et cetara for the package you're compiling | 05:57 |

| ratl3 | latest gnome packages too | 07:01 |
| calc | and there is also kubuntu for kde desktop | 07:01 |
| Bicchi | i kind of like kde better but i am sure it can be installed instead of gnome | 07:01 |
| lunitik | Bicchi: Mandrakes Control Panel won't be around either of course... but GNOME offers some simular tools... probably all that you'll need. | 07:01 |

| ratl3 | heh | 07:19 |
| eclipse | so which one is better? | 07:19 |
| DarthFrog | eclipse: For your use, reiser. | 07:19 |
| eclipse | DarthFrog: thnx | 07:19 |
| lunitik | DarthFrog: I thought reiser was better with small files? | 07:20 |
| DarthFrog | eclipse: if you were editing movies (i.e. at a movie studio, not home flicks) XFS. | 07:20 |
| ratl3 | what would be better for a myth tv machine | 07:20 |
| DarthFrog | lunitik: it is. | 07:20 |
| ratl3 | i've been leaning xfs | 07:20 |
| lunitik | DarthFrog: I guess my definition of 'small file' is warped then ;) | 07:20 |
| eclipse | well, can i still use XFS? | 07:20 |
| DarthFrog | ratl3: I have a myth machine, running reiser. I wish I had put XFS on it. XFS is faster at deleting large files. | 07:20 |
| lunitik | eclipse: its not supported by grub, so /boot can't use XFS. | 07:20 |
| Myrtti | I think I'll uninstall KDE | 07:20 |
| ratl3 | hmm | 07:21 |
| ratl3 | ok | 07:21 |
| ratl3 | ya, that's what i was going to put on it | 07:21 |

| ratl3 | t | 07:21 |
| desrt | so... is 'universe' debian-packaged stuff? | 07:21 |
| eclipse | lunitik: but i don't use /boot partition | 07:21 |
| lunitik | eclipse: if I was you... I would use XFS on /home, and ext3 of / | 07:22 |
| DarthFrog | lunitik: no, your definition is fine. reiser can pack "tails" of files into a single extent. This is an efficient use of file space. | 07:22 |
| crimsun | desrt: generally, but modified for Ubuntu where necessary. | 07:22 |
| rom | i am creating a shell script that mounts all the smb shares on my network, how can i make it so i dont need 'sudo' in front of all the lines? | 07:22 |

| ratl3 | it's working great for me | 07:38 |
| zenrox | ya the preview is out | 07:39 |
| huwr | excellent. | 07:39 |
| huwr | Cheers. | 07:39 |
| Seq | ratl3: yeah, but it's not quite stabalized | 07:39 |
| huwr | Well, I used to do that with Debian, I was wondering if it worked with this as well. I thought it would. | 07:39 |
| huwr | Anyway. | 07:39 |
| huwr | Thanks, guys. | 07:39 |

| stuNNed | crimsun: can graveman do iso's or just rely on nautilus for that? | 07:39 |
| icemanT | hey there, can anyone help plz | 07:39 |
| factotum | gnu is a seperate entitiy, linux, bsd, herd, whatever are just different OS's to run its software | 07:39 |
| zenrox | stuNNed, ya it should | 07:39 |
| lunitik | zenrox: with Debian based distro's, new versions are irrelivant... its why so many don't care about Sarge... | 07:39 |
| DarthFrog | factotum: Wrongo, reindeer lover. | 07:39 |
| huwr | DarthFrog, shouldn't I just wait for Hoary to come out and just run apt-get dist-upgrade? | 07:40 |
| lunitik | zenrox: the DD's are very good about not b0rking things during upgrades mostly | 07:40 |
| DarthFrog | huwr: Your call. Hoary is in the release candidate stage. | 07:40 |
| factotum | DarthFrog, alright LOL, i must be interpriting what I read incorrectly heh | 07:40 |
| lunitik | huwr: why not do it now? stable enough :/ | 07:40 |
| ratl3 | hmm, it doesn't say anything about flacs on the graveman site | 07:40 |
| DarthFrog | factotum: Hurd is a kernel, not an OS. | 07:40 |
| Seq | lunitik: its still got tonnes of update every time i check (every two or so days) | 07:41 |
| factotum | not suprised, havent read much on hurd | 07:41 |
| lunitik | ratl3: graveman is just a pretty gui for cdrecord... doesn't care so long as libflac is installed. | 07:41 |
| huwr | lunitik, because i'm a freak and these are pretty mission machines that I don't want to root. ;) | 07:41 |
| huwr | anyway, bye. | 07:41 |

| zenrox | i want a sun machine | 07:42 |
| lunitik | ratl3: its clueless about format, it could care less. | 07:42 |
| zenrox | really bad | 07:42 |
| ratl3 | some of the other gnome burning apps crashed on flacs | 07:42 |
| MyNameIsChris | Anyone here using the audio on an ich5 southbridge? | 07:42 |
| ratl3 | coaster | 07:42 |
| DarthFrog | factotum: The Free Software Foundation considers GNU to be the OS itself. They are developing the Hurd kernel for GNU. They consider Linux to just be a kernel for the GNU system. | 07:42 |
| factotum | reindeer lover? | 07:42 |
| DarthFrog | factotum: You had to be there. :-) | 07:42 |
| factotum | ah | 07:42 |
| lunitik | zenrox: nothing really impressed me about Solaris 10... I mean, its not slow like people have said, but hardware support is a joke... | 07:43 |
| zenrox | lunitik, ya i agree | 07:43 |
| icemanT | i had debian installed on my system including windoze, and lilo installed in the mbr.....i wiped out debian and installed ubuntu, the problem is that ubuntu installs grub by default, so when the installation finished and i rebooted, Lilo was still there, so i flushed the mbr , after i rebooted grub appeared and gave me an "error 22".....any ideas? | 07:43 |
| zenrox | solaris is worse than gnu/linux | 07:43 |
| lunitik | zenrox: I also don't see much advantage in a SPARC over an x86 machine... other than the obvious... but they are very expensive machines... | 07:43 |
| zenrox | ya | 07:43 |
| factotum | DarthFrog, huh, wierd. It's crazy to see how different groups opinionate what's the os, what's the kernel, even some cases of is there a difference | 07:44 |
| DarthFrog | factotum: The Free Software Foundation would refer to Ubuntu as Ubuntu GNU/Linux. | 07:44 |
| zenrox | but ill never get one of thoes | 07:44 |
| ratl3 | you need a live cd or a boot floppy icemanT | 07:44 |
| === helio7 [~michael@wbar21.lax1-4.26.216.34.lax1.dsl-verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| ratl3 | and you need to rebuild your mbr for grub | 07:44 |
| Seq | ratl3: i believe graveman uses sox to convert audio | 07:44 |
| ratl3 | oh, ok | 07:44 |
| DarthFrog | factotum: It's not wierd, exactly. It's RMS' opinions and politics. :-) | 07:44 |
| helio7 | does anyone have a good gpg keyserver they could recommend? I'm thinking google isn't the best place to find one | 07:44 |
| icemanT | ratl3: the thing is i reinstalled ubuntu again, still the same problem | 07:44 |
| Seq | ratl3: is that on your gentoo machine? if I recall, there was a libflac bug in their bugzilla that caused things like gstreamer to crash when trying to use flac files | 07:45 |
| ratl3 | ya, it was | 07:45 |
| icemanT | i also tried the expert mode, and tried installing lilo instead of grub,the installation froze during lilo | 07:45 |
| DarthFrog | factotum: RMS is Richard Matthew Stallman. GNU and the FSF are his babies. | 07:45 |
| ratl3 | hmm, i was attributing it to the mono shit | 07:45 |
| icemanT | im installing hoari | 07:45 |
| factotum | DarthFrog, yea, im still getting used to that. The opinions vs. headlines lol. | 07:45 |
| lunitik | Seq: hmm... well, its a dep... but likely only to depend libflac and others... | 07:45 |
| Amaranth | how can mono affect libflac? | 07:46 |
| ratl3 | the program | 07:46 |
| Amaranth | which? | 07:46 |
| ratl3 | coaster | 07:46 |
| Amaranth | oh | 07:46 |
| === lunitik actually does't see libflac listed... just libmad and vorbis things... | ||
| Amaranth | coast is C :) | 07:46 |
| DarthFrog | factotum: RMS and the FSF made the GNU system. It was pretty much complete in the early ninties other than needing a kernel. Linus Torvalds took GNU and added his kernel to it. | 07:46 |
| Amaranth | uses libburn isntead of cdrecord | 07:46 |
| factotum | i dumped redmond about a year ago. Just happen to like this more. Now I'm at the point of trying to understand who's involved, where and what everything is. | 07:46 |
| ratl3 | oh, well, the mono one | 07:47 |
| ratl3 | can't remember it's name | 07:47 |
| DarthFrog | factotum: the combo at first was called Freax, then was renamed Linux. | 07:47 |
| Amaranth | there is a C# cd burner? | 07:47 |
| ratl3 | i think | 07:47 |
| Seq | Amaranth: i don't understand your mono libflac question | 07:47 |
| Amaranth | Seq: Was asking ratl3, I misunderstood him. | 07:47 |
| factotum | DarthFrog, ah yea. I remember reading about that, gnu and the kernel | 07:47 |
| Seq | ahhh | 07:48 |
| factotum | baking-soda and vinigar heh | 07:48 |
| ratl3 | gnomebaker | 07:48 |
| ratl3 | that's the mono one | 07:48 |
| zenrox | factotum, haave you watched the 2 movies about linux and gnu opensourse | 07:48 |
| lunitik | DarthFrog: no... Linus first named his kernel 'Freax', but it was never released under that name... it was never assosiated with GNU however... | 07:48 |
| factotum | uh...movies? cant say I have | 07:48 |
| factotum | sounds interesting though | 07:48 |
| DarthFrog | factotum: about 5 or so years later, RMS realised that GNU and the FSF were being over-shadowed by Linux. He's been trying to get everyone to acknowledge and honour him since then. He absolutely insists that the system be called GNU/Linux. At first, he tried to foist LiGNUx. That went nowhere. | 07:49 |
| zenrox | factotum, the code, revoulition os | 07:49 |
| DarthFrog | lunitik: Yes, I know. The sysadmin at Helsinki renamed it Linux. | 07:49 |
| ratl3 | Amaranth: did you get that? gnomebaker | 07:49 |
| === lunitik still wants to see gnomebaker in the archive! | ||
| Seq | ratl3: i never understood why people make cd burning apps that look like that | 07:50 |
| DarthFrog | factotum: I agree that RMS and the FSF deserve a great deal of credit. But I simply hate the name GNU/Linux. It's ugly. I also dislike the name Kubuntu. | 07:50 |
| factotum | DarthFrog, so is RMS just stomping his feet or is there merit to that feeling of being overshadowed? | 07:50 |

| dazed||oot | when setting up ubuntu....how do i not erase my windows partition and still install ubuntu? also i cant boot windows at this moment? | 07:51 |
| DarthFrog | lunitik: Google it. :-) I don't think anyone except RMS himself used the name LiGNUx. | 07:51 |
| ratl3 | i was trying everything | 07:51 |
| factotum | i read a bit about his story with some printer drivers and how it kind of started out | 07:51 |
| lunitik | factotum: there is merit to some extent... but I mean, its rediculous... what he wants to call "GNU/Linux", we actually call "Ubuntu" or "Fedora"... | 07:51 |
| zenrox | dazed||oot, did ya slect auto partion | 07:51 |
| DarthFrog | lunitik: And there was a great deal of resentment against him trying to change the name. That's when he went to GNU/Linux. | 07:51 |
| jnow | i want install xorg | 07:51 |
| Amaranth | ratl3: gnomebaker is _not_ C# | 07:51 |
| dazed||oot | how | 07:51 |
| dazed||oot | partitioner comes up | 07:52 |
| ratl3 | really? | 07:52 |
| zenrox | dazed||oot, during the install | 07:52 |
| lunitik | DarthFrog: I think its better that we just say "Ubuntu"... that way, no one is happy, but everyone shuts up :) | 07:52 |
| factotum | It is kind of a hazy area, there hasn't really been a situation like this, that I know of, involving an OS or whatever anyone wants to call it | 07:52 |
| DarthFrog | lunitik: Not quite right. he has no problems with the names Fedora or Ubuntu. Just not Fedora Linux or ubuntu Linux. :-) | 07:52 |
| dazed||oot | i get a menu that says Configure software RAID ....Configure Logical Volume Manager.....Guided Partitioning...Help on Partitioning....then it says my HD with 19.9 NTFS | 07:52 |
| Myrtti | making easy and simple things complicated | 07:52 |
| Myrtti | it's an os ffs | 07:53 |
| lunitik | DarthFrog: considering linux is actually such a small file in most cases... it should also be dropped imo | 07:53 |
| factotum | no one person is going to day "this is what it is, cut and dry" and have everyone not their head in agreement | 07:53 |
| Seq | google search for "mono cd burner" is exactly not what i was looking for... | 07:53 |
| ratl3 | Amaranth: my memory just made that up... i'm sorry | 07:53 |
| factotum | day/say | 07:53 |
| DarthFrog | lunitik: Well, the trouble with that is, is that we need a unifying name. And Linux is it. | 07:53 |
| DarthFrog | The Ravening Beast of Redmond already has enough targets. :-) | 07:54 |
| factotum | zenrox, thanks for the movie titles | 07:54 |
| lunitik | Seq: ignore anyone that ever says "Mono has something for that"... just use graveman... its the best in the archive. | 07:54 |
| zenrox | dazed||oot, welll dont do auto partions | 07:54 |
| DarthFrog | We don't want the Unix wars all over again. | 07:54 |

| ratl3 | hah | 07:55 |
| DarthFrog | lunitik: Too late for that. The name Linux has the marketplace mindshare. | 07:55 |
| factotum | heh | 07:55 |
| Amaranth | Amaranth! | 07:55 |
| lunitik | dazed||oot: man parted | 07:55 |
| lunitik | DarthFrog: *kicks IBM in the nuts* | 07:55 |
| DarthFrog | dazed||oot: use gparted. | 07:55 |
| Amaranth | lunitik: IBM just jumped on the bandwagon, Linux was a known word before that | 07:56 |
| ratl3 | what live cd has gparted on it? | 07:56 |
| DarthFrog | IBM did a lot more than simply jump on the bandwagon. | 07:56 |
| ratl3 | is there a partition live cd? | 07:56 |
| goldfish | install cd | 07:56 |
| goldfish | :) | 07:56 |
| lunitik | Amaranth: not really... it was about as known as FreeBSD... tomorrow... ask 10 random people what FreeBSD is... hell, most still don't know what Linux is. | 07:56 |
| DarthFrog | IBM's support of Linux is of incalculable value. | 07:56 |
| ratl3 | hah | 07:56 |
| dazed||oot | i cant boot up comp i only have a knoppix live disc | 07:56 |

| ratl3 | i don't really want to talk to the Christian ones | 08:25 |

| d3vic3 | wtf? | 08:25 |
| ratl3 | it's a problem with me | 08:25 |
| exknoppix | sometimes I mention Linux to regular non-techie people ... but they're too hooked to MS Windows | 08:25 |
| ratl3 | I MUST CONVERT! | 08:26 |
| ratl3 | hah | 08:26 |
| exknoppix | what, people are too evangelical or not evangelical enough? | 08:26 |
| DarthFrog | I try not to be a zealot in my evangelism. Rather I try to give an honest and balanced approach, one where I acknowledge my biases. | 08:26 |
| ratl3 | it's real hard though | 08:26 |
| DarthFrog | ratl3: That's exactly the wrong approach. Telling them they "must" do something will only get their backs up. | 08:27 |
| DarthFrog | Instead, find out their dissatisfactions and deal with them. | 08:27 |
| ratl3 | i said 'I MUST' | 08:27 |
| ratl3 | but, ya, i agree | 08:27 |
| ratl3 | it's a psychological game | 08:27 |
| exknoppix | if you're a tech enthusiast and really want to dig into some awesome tools, then I say Linux (or some non-proprietary system) ... but if you just vant to get some work done and you're already comfortable in Windows, then just stay there, for now | 08:28 |
| ratl3 | work done in windows? | 08:28 |
| DarthFrog | My preferred approach is to be approachable. Give them some teaser info and let them come to me. Let them sell themselves. | 08:28 |
| ratl3 | when it's not crashing? | 08:28 |
| bryan | umm | 08:28 |
| bryan | windows honestly doesn't crash that much | 08:29 |
| bryan | especially if you know how to take care of it | 08:29 |
| ratl3 | exactly | 08:29 |
| DarthFrog | Not anymore, it doesn't, | 08:29 |
| exknoppix | with stuff like browser tabbing and awesome wget installlation and multiple desktops, a crucial threshold will be crossed some day (I hope) | 08:29 |
| DarthFrog | It's finally a decent system, for stability. | 08:29 |
| DarthFrog | For security, well, that's another matter. | 08:29 |
| ratl3 | i was including the spyware adware shit | 08:29 |
| ratl3 | i only use windows on other peoples computers | 08:30 |
| exknoppix | I've been thinking about offering to install Linux on people's machines ... would be interesting to do "market research" and post the results | 08:30 |
| ratl3 | and they don't know how to take care of it | 08:30 |
| === avdd [~foo@122.68.233.220.exetel.com.au] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| exknoppix | really, the big hassle is that people don't want to bother with the install | 08:30 |
| DarthFrog | exknoppix: You'll find yourself being called upon to do *ALL* their support. | 08:30 |
| ratl3 | but still, it requires you to reinstall it every year or so | 08:30 |
| ratl3 | heh, make them pay you exknoppix | 08:31 |
| viper12 | I just moved my dad over to linux..........because it kept slowin' down. ---if you know what i mean? he was sick to DEATH of all the crap he had to do to keep spyware/malware/viruses from infesting his box. He knows zippo about Linux....but he's a happy as a clam now. | 08:31 |
| exknoppix | I think that if you did a couple weeks of hand-holding, then most people would come to love Linux. There is a lot of great stuff out there. | 08:31 |

| viper12 | hand holding exknoppix? for what? if you know linux.....and get the install right at the beginning...the end user doesn't need hand holding...nor can the end user screw it up. ;) | 08:32 |
| viper12 | lmao ratl3 | 08:32 |
| DarthFrog | ratl3: Umm... | 08:32 |
| exknoppix | DarthFrog: agreed, and, at present, I'm not motivated enough to do all that support ... I suggest the idea only as a way to do "market research" ... gather data on how real non-techies respond to current Linux | 08:32 |
| ratl3 | actually ubuntu wouldn't require any support | 08:33 |
| ratl3 | or maybe a little | 08:33 |
| ratl3 | but less than windows | 08:33 |
| exknoppix | viper12: if you've spent 5-10 years on Windows, then you have all these habits and expectations ... many little things are different on Linux and your average non-techie person will get turned off unless they get a lot of gentle encouragement | 08:33 |
| DarthFrog | ratl3: You're kidding yourself. | 08:34 |
| ratl3 | i don't know | 08:34 |
| ratl3 | hmm | 08:34 |
| DarthFrog | Less than Windows, yes. | 08:34 |
| ratl3 | ya, iu corrected myseld | 08:34 |
| ratl3 | but all you'd have to do is set it up | 08:35 |
| DarthFrog | In the overall, that's true. But until the novice users get as accomplished in Ubuntu as they already are in Windows, their support needs will be greater. | 08:35 |
| exknoppix | if you have a 100% tech-newbie, then today, Linux may actually be easier to learn than Windows ... however, 95% of potential Linux converts out there are non-techies with experience with Windows ... it's like moving to a different country after growing up somewhere else | 08:35 |
| === Tomcat_ [Tomcat@p54A1FB5F.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

He surfs, online banks via web, plays solitaire, listens to tunes. I set up an ubuntu install and got the mp3/ web plugs set, configured a clean desktop and after 20 minutes I left him to it. He hasn't called me about it all week, cept yesterday to thank me for a cool machine. | 08:35 |

| === dash [washort@adsl-17-185-59.bhm.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| exknoppix | what's interesting is how people in developing nations pick up Linux because many have zero Windows habits ... there, we may gain an unassailable install base | 08:36 |
| ratl3 | you can run IE in linux | 08:36 |
| ratl3 | heh | 08:36 |
| bryan | can/could/would/should/wouldn't | 08:36 |
| ratl3 | try crossover | 08:36 |
| ratl3 | haha | 08:36 |
| ratl3 | it's good for testing your site | 08:36 |
| ratl3 | there is an initial learning curve for linux | 08:37 |
| viper12 | Most users don't have the first clue about IE/FF/Opera. They all have similar controls, show the web, back/forth stop/home buttons. They wanna do what they do and not be bothered by the crap that infests windows soo damn easily anymore. | 08:37 |
| ratl3 | but over the long run i think it is currently easier for the novice to ue | 08:38 |
| exknoppix | viper12: number #1, _you_ set things up ... number #2, your dad didn't run into any nasty quirks. with my online banking, firefox does now work because my stupid bank are idiots so I have to fake things ... number #3, lots of people doing real work, use minor apps that aren't 100% there in Linux yet. and there will gripe. | 08:38 |
| viper12 | And as far as the learning curve goes, for the experienced pc'er, that all depends upon how deeply down the rabbit hole we wish to go. | 08:38 |
| dash | if we had a decent replacement for quicken/quickbooks, i have a lot of windows users i could convert today | 08:38 |
| ratl3 | again they run nicely in wine | 08:39 |
| ratl3 | :/ | 08:39 |
| dash | eh | 08:39 |
| ratl3 | heh | 08:39 |
| dash | i've tried | 08:39 |
| ratl3 | what my dad uses | 08:39 |
| exknoppix | rat13: actually, I think that Linux _has_ crossed that threshold of ease of use ... Linux is pretty amazing these days ... I remember using Linux back in 1995 -- ouch, especially on set up | 08:39 |
| dash | there's still some quirks, last i checked | 08:39 |
| viper12 | exknoppix, if it wasn't for MY PERSONAL BIAS against KDE, I'd have run the installer for Xandros, and WALKED AWAY and let him at it. | 08:39 |

| viper12 | exactly exknoppix ...........people are used to windows, but when they run into problems.....(the novice users) its off to the land of microsoft support at a zillion an hour on hold. FUD is holding linux back...as well as the fact that beause its free, there are no full page ads for it in the local paper. | 08:42 |
| exknoppix | that's just it ... you have to jump through extra hoops like crossover ... most people get impatient with the smallest nuisance in, say, retail ... we have a very short attention span and demanding attitude in many areas of our life | 08:42 |

| DarthFrog | exknoppix: Besides who needs another game after they've played Frozen Bubble. :-) | 08:46 |
| exknoppix | if Free Software could get just 10% of the money spent on games, then with code-sharing, Linux would be _the_ platform within 5 years | 08:46 |
| dash | DarthFrog: infidel! clearly the correct game is nethack | 08:47 |

| dash | exknoppix: until we get quality video drivers, it's not going to happen | 08:47 |
| ratl3 | ya, we need to create more places for money in free software | 08:47 |
| exknoppix | personally, my favorite downloader is wget ... but I like to do the micromanagement myself | 08:47 |
| DarthFrog | robzulah: Open a terminal and issue the command "ls -l kmud*" in the directory that the kmud binary is installed in. | 08:47 |
| dash | exknoppix: and i am willing to bet that we will not get quality video drivers until software 3D rendering comes back | 08:48 |

| ratl3 | dash, software 3d rendering? | 08:49 |

| ratl3 | exknoppix, i still vote though.. heh | 08:57 |
| dash | ratl3: one of the problem with MMORPGs is making sure that the production of game content by the developers stays ahead of the consumption of it by players | 08:58 |
| ratl3 | dash, ya | 08:58 |
| dash | ratl3: this, among other problems, has made it very hard for a community-run MMORPG to arise | 08:58 |

| ratl3 | exknoppix, what kind of system would you prefer? | 08:59 |
| dash | ratl3: one of the reasons this is difficult is because there's no good way to run untrusted code in a real programming language securely and efficiently on a server | 08:59 |

| dash | Voidzero1: zoinks | 09:01 |
| exknoppix | about the "fractal" comment ... I'm just goofing | 09:01 |

| exknoppix | rat13: I'd say that "direct action" is more important than once-every-4-years of voting ... realize that your day-to-day life is more politically important than once-a-year vote ... as for elections, I'd like at least half the seats go to proportional representation | 09:02 |
| dash | isn't "direct action" a euphemism for "political assassination"? | 09:03 |
| ratl3 | exknoppix, so you'd go more for a reform of the current system? | 09:03 |

| Nighteyes | I'd like to ask your opinion in upgrading to ubuntu hoary.. | 11:40 |
| scizzo | 1. Umount the disk that has win mounted on it | 11:40 |
| azriel0184 | i just copy/pasted the existing entry for the / dir and modified the mountpoint and the device and i was done for my mounts | 11:40 |
| Ad-Rock | Nighteyes, do it :p | 11:40 |
| linux_galor1 | <-- is a long time Linux users loves CLI but also admins Linux on the desktop with real people and now is a big pusher of clicky tools for newbies | 11:40 |
| Nighteyes | Ad-Rock It's stable enough (i'm not bother with a little unstabillity) | 11:40 |
| scizzo | 2. go to fstab....remove everything from the user,blaha thingy but not... defaults, umask=0222 | 11:40 |

| thoreauputic | johso: in the nautilus file manager, under edit >> preferences >> behaviour, there is "always open as browser' (in warty) | 12:20 |
| njan | Anyone any clue why alsa in warty would just have broken such that it's totally unlistenable to because of obscene distortion? This happened to me in hoary with the same card a few weeks back :( | 12:20 |

| ritalin | thoreauputic: did ubuntu congif x11 for a lcd and power manage etc etc | 01:24 |
| ritalin | did it handle all the laptop specific issues is what im asking | 01:25 |
| jesuel | q3 i get no sound. Ive never played et. Dont know what stepmania is. Doom3, never played it yet. | 01:25 |
| thoreauputic | ritalin: not suspend/sleep | 01:25 |

| dmouritsendk | crypticreign, I would try and get the packagemanager to reinstall everything. im pretty sure apt lets u do that sort of thing. Something sounds very broken, i think it will be quicker to re-install than to fix it. | 04:45 |

| kaouete | i have already reboot | 05:26 |
| kaouete | it is installing packages now | 05:27 |
| kaouete | for the moment it is ok, but i restarted install from the beginning, because it looked like i have done a bad thing before, i just lost my screen, and nothing was hapenning, if it is the same | 05:28 |
| kaouete | i will boot on a knoppix and check conf by hand. | 05:28 |

| Blackice1963 | identify blackice1963 | 05:28 |
| |daver| | it says loading grub, and then it just boots | 05:28 |
| kaouete | |daver|: maybe you dont say to installer to install it on mbr | 05:28 |
| kaouete | aaah | 05:28 |
| kaouete | it's maybe because there is no choice to make | 05:28 |
| kaouete | ooor | 05:28 |
| thoreauputic | |daver|: hit <esc> I think | 05:28 |
| kaouete | just modify grub.conf | 05:28 |

| firdel | hey what a good image editor, something like photoshop, only free.. i need to crop some pictures :d | 07:27 |
| Alver | But nothing too special. I just didn't want to get me plain debian since that's a complete pain to run without apt-get mirrors. | 07:27 |
| thoreauputic | Alver: gnome is the default, but you can install others from the net | 07:27 |
| Myrtti | gimp | 07:27 |
| Alver | Crap... only from the net? | 07:27 |
| firdel | ok | 07:27 |
| djst | i have a problem with alsa sound... anyone good at this? | 07:27 |
| firdel | fanx | 07:27 |
| thoreauputic | Alver: well, maybe it has twm... | 07:28 |
| Seveas | Alver, you can try Kubuntu | 07:28 |
| djst | ubuntu seems to think i have lots of sound cards (my web cam is identified as one, for example) | 07:28 |
| Seveas | it has KDE | 07:28 |
| Alver | hrm... | 07:28 |
| djst | the problem is that my REAL sound card is not the default | 07:28 |
| djst | so sound events in gnome doesn't work | 07:28 |
| Alver | Seveas, thoreauputic: it's for a rather low-end machine. It can't handle gnome nor KDE. | 07:28 |

| djst | but i can configure xmnms so the sound works in that program | 07:28 |
| tolstoy | are the nvidia drivers still wonky? | 07:28 |
| thoreauputic | Alver: debian would be a better choice, probably | 07:28 |
| reon_ | djst, join the club :( | 07:29 |
| Alver | thoreauputic: woody is obsolete and sarge doesn't come on cds :) | 07:29 |
| Seveas | Alver, then you really need the net to install a smaller WM | 07:29 |
| thoreauputic | Alver: although the wm would be an issue | 07:29 |
| Alver | Darn. Off to find another solution then. :/ | 07:29 |
| crimsun | djst: there's a very easy solution to that. | 07:29 |
| crimsun | djst: describe which sound cards you have | 07:29 |
| thoreauputic | Alver: damn small linux (fluxbox) :) | 07:29 |
| jesuel | dsl is nice | 07:30 |
| Alver | tolstoy: the drivers never were 'wonky', they just don't work on mx/tnt chipsets | 07:30 |
| djst | crimsun: it's an ac97 onboard sound card | 07:30 |
| djst | crimsun: i think i can figure out what module is using it | 07:30 |
| Alver | heh, that's an idea. | 07:30 |

| Alver | Well, thanks for the info, people. | 07:30 |
| thoreauputic | Alver: or Vector Linux ( but that's Slack based) | 07:30 |
| tolstoy | Alver, I meant, with the today's hoary kernel, the associated restricted drivers are broken. | 07:31 |
| firdel | whats with the "error reading from notification server" i get when signin on msn with GAIM | 07:31 |
| thoreauputic | Alver: Vector is a nice distro for low-end machines | 07:31 |
| Seveas | firdel, msn is flaky at this moment... | 07:31 |
| djst | crimsun: i only have one sound card... it's an integrated sound card in the mother board, ac97 compatigble | 07:31 |

| crimsun | MaxeyPad: you need to tell your audio apps to use plug:surround40 | 07:35 |

| reon_ | crimsun, may i dcc you ? | 07:38 |
| crimsun | reon_: it doesn't hang when you use the entire command | 07:38 |
| thoreauputic | Seveas: I merely insist that the use of "dummy" in this context is not "plain wrong" but idiomatic | 07:39 |
| MaxeyPad | so I gather regular OSS doesn't support 4.1? | 07:39 |
| djst | crimsun: that didn't solve the problem... USB is still at the top of thel list, the correct card being number 5 | 07:39 |
| crimsun | MaxeyPad: 4.1? use plug:surround41 | 07:39 |
| reon_ | crimsun, sorry i'm a idiot | 07:39 |
| crimsun | djst: you have to unload them all, then reload them | 07:39 |
| Seveas | thoreauputic, "dummy" packages are packages without functionality, like the java-common package. Meta packages have the functionality of keeping the list of recommended stuff up-to-date | 07:40 |

| crimsun | MaxeyPad: in b-m-p's preferences, configure the alsa output plugin to use the plug:surround41 device | 07:41 |
| LinuxJones | MaxeyPad, I had 4.1 with a SB Live Value like 4 years ago | 07:41 |

| crimsun | justaguy: yes, but the packaging revision is more of concern | 07:56 |

| Seveas | Coily, not really | 07:58 |
| thoreauputic | sanitario: it's just you (joking) | 07:58 |
| tolstoy- | justaguy, new kernel has "invalid" nvidia modules (well, the restricted package). | 07:58 |
| Seveas | but does firefox still do something, or does it just hang | 07:58 |
| djst | crimsun: one question though: the system seems to prefer OSS mixers instead of ASLA | 07:58 |
| sanitario | it tells me: "Error while decoding audio tracks" | 07:58 |
| crimsun | Coily: "has started?" It always has. firefox is a shell script. | 07:58 |
| firdel | tritium, perhaps you know a way to make beep-media-player suck on .m4a audio files. i have several albums in that encoding :l | 07:58 |
| djst | crimsun: is that something to be concerned with or is it irrelevant? | 07:59 |
| Coily | crimsun, yes but ive seen it under the name firefox-bin | 07:59 |
| Coily | until recently | 07:59 |
| crimsun | djst: it's fairly irrelevant. Are you speaking of GNOME's Volume Control? | 07:59 |

| jesuel | whoot! | 08:01 |
| djst | crimsun: oh, and now that the usb webcam is no longer the default sound card, it seems xmms has problems using it anyway.. but i can always fix that program.... i'm more worried about the (potentially) other programs | 08:01 |
| crimsun | Coily: and ps auxww|grep firefox|grep -v grep only returns that? | 08:01 |
| crimsun | djst: audio programs should use "default" | 08:02 |

| omniscient | or do i just run update and it will check that directory? | 10:15 |
