| thoreauputic_ | jimmer_: yes, i was thinking debian sarge or sid might be a better way to go | 12:52 |

| jimmer_ | thoreauputic_, actually i was thinking to go with linux from scratch, but can't be bothered to be compiling for a whole day ;) | 12:52 |
| jimmer_ | thoreauputic_, also considered gentoo, but same reason not to do it. | 12:53 |
| thoreauputic_ | jimmer_: heheh - stick with debian :) | 12:53 |
| thoreauputic_ | jimmer_: much quicker | 12:53 |
| jimmer_ | thoreauputic_, on the otherhand as I;ve been running a linux of some sort or another since kernel 1.0.8 and the SLS floppy distro, I suppose I should be rolling my own... but I;m just a little tired of all the compiling and fixing and stuff. | 12:54 |
| dazed| | i have a question...my nautilus only picks up the local shared files when i goto network:/// but when my laptop is on windows it picks up the laptop but when its on ubu they cant find eachother | 12:54 |

| LeeJunFan | Ok, I'm looking for a new distro, thinking ubuntu or kubuntu might be it. I take it ubuntu is much like debian in that it's basically raw linux (unlike debian it's actually kept updated), w/o a lot of spiffy add on bell and whistle crap, and little to no branding? | 12:58 |
| HrdwrBoB | LeeJunFan: ubuntu has lots of bells and whistles, however they're standards based bells and generall issue whistles | 12:59 |
| chillywilly | it also has some nice artwork :) | 12:59 |
| thoreauputic_ | LeeJunFan: if you want constant updates you need to track the development version | 12:59 |
| Valdez | icebalm: in digital form ? Don't suppose you know where one would be able to acquire one. | 12:59 |
| pr1mate | i need to use an exe (wine) how to, and is it as simple as adding a server to synaptic?? | 01:00 |
| icebalm | Valdez: no I have the actual poster, just, not here | 01:00 |
| jimmer_ | thoreauputic_, I do webdev and design. I like to run a specific set of tools and apps. All of which i like to install to my specs. and taste. The modern distro's seem to be all about looking like MS Windows, not only wrt to UI and Look n Feel, but also wrt to mindset. Stoopid users and an overworked departmental sysadmin. Bleh. I like to be boss on my box. | 01:00 |
| thoreauputic_ | chillywilly: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-calendar ! :) | 01:00 |
| icebalm | Valdez: was looking for it, don't see it | 01:00 |
| LeeJunFan | HrdwrBoB: well what I don't want is the kind of things mdk is doing to automate stuff in their own way instead of using standard available methods and helping to improve the community. | 01:01 |
| Valdez | icebalm: thanks anyway :) | 01:01 |
| signal | is there a way to use gentoo packages? I know alien will let me use redhat ones... | 01:01 |
| chillywilly | thoreauputic_: I dunno if I have that installed or not but I like this new default Human theme wallpaper | 01:01 |
| jimmer_ | thoreauputic_, the drive for 'World Domination' seems to have moved the whole Linux world to forget about the Power User. | 01:01 |
| icebalm | signal: yeah, download and compile the source | 01:01 |
| thoreauputic_ | jimmer_: I like to run fluxbox partly for those reasons - it allows me to configure my own stuff | 01:01 |
| chillywilly | thoreauputic_: looks bubbly and stuff | 01:01 |
| LeeJunFan | thoreauputic_: not so sure I need daily updates :) but something that's more up to date than debian sure helps. | 01:01 |
| jimmer_ | thoreauputic_, I;ve been running windowmaker since I switched from afterstep... in 1996 or so ;) | 01:02 |
| thoreauputic_ | jimmer_: but when on this channel I run gnome to be able to answer ui questions better | 01:02 |
| jimmer_ | thoreauputic_, maybe it was 1997/8 but it's been a while in any case ;) | 01:02 |

| trans_err | rizla just ask the question | 01:44 |
| signal | I'm about to engage myself in trying to get some gentoo users modified version of the tv-out branch of GATOS for ati- tvout support... before i do this, can anyone think of anything dumb i might have left out of my xorg.conf that might help me get the stupid thing to work just using atitvout? | 01:44 |
| Dulath | Because it seems to be taking an inordinately long time. | 01:44 |

| johann | thoreauputic, ok..I'll try that | 06:01 |

| geneo93 | hoary is lots better | 06:11 |
| moominski | lol | 06:11 |
| Hayden | moominski, they are different versions of Ubuntu, Hoary is the latest version in preview release (beta) | 06:11 |
| DakPowers | Is it? What's different? I just installed Warty | 06:11 |
| dazed_ | moominski: hoary is the newest version of ubuntu...its only a preview | 06:11 |
| moominski | so i shud switch | 06:11 |
| moominski | ?? | 06:12 |
| dazed_ | moominski: get a feel for ubuntu first before u switch to a beta version | 06:12 |
| DakPowers | Good advice. | 06:12 |
| WebMaven_ | DakPowers, the one thing that page doesn't say, is that you need to point ndiswrapper at a *.inf file, but the other files still need to be in the same directory as the *.inf file. | 06:12 |
| moominski | ok np dude | 06:12 |
| geneo93 | DakPowers: open synaptic and update your repositories to hoary | 06:12 |
| Hayden | dazed_: i found hoary was easier to use than warty | 06:12 |
| dizzie | Morning all :) | 06:12 |
| WebMaven_ | No one has any advice for the launcher icons, huh? | 06:12 |
| DakPowers | Synaptic... Synaptic... Synaptic... | 06:13 |
| geneo93 | WebMaven_: check the properties and make sure there not hidden | 06:13 |
| dazed_ | Hayden: i find it no different it matters of ease...but this is moominski's first hours of ubuntu (even linux i believe) so i think he should stick with warty before he runs into problems on hoary | 06:13 |
| madstop | gnome in hoary seems a lot more stable; the menus make more sense, better all around. 32 bits version anyway. Amd64 hoary has me teed off, though it's fast! | 06:13 |
| thoreauputic | WebMaven_: jsut click the empty icon box on the launcher dialog, and choose one you like... | 06:13 |
| Hayden | dazed_: yep | 06:13 |

| DakPowers | This may be the dumbest question ever, but is there a console or command line to type in? | 06:15 |
| WebMaven_ | right clicking on them only give the following: Help, Remove from Panel, Move, Lock to Panel | 06:15 |
| geneo93 | mine were stuck behind the gnome foot | 06:15 |
| thoreauputic | DakPowers: right click the desktop, choose terminal | 06:15 |
| madstop | thoreauputic, WebMaven_ , the fact is, gnome's icon handling is not the most convenient. Often icons chosen in dialogs turn out to be different, older and ugly | 06:15 |

| geneo93 | WebMaven_: move a few other icons and see if your apear | 06:17 |
| WebMaven_ | click on 'Application Launcher' | 06:17 |
| Hayden | DakPowers: you use the 'sudo' command e.g. sudo apt-get update | 06:17 |
| WebMaven_ | click on 'Forward' button | 06:17 |

| zenrox | infidel, sudo apt-get update | 06:33 |
| thoreauputic | Fackamato: it runs as a daily cron job, as root I guess | 06:33 |
| zenrox | infidel, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:34 |
| Borg^Queen | moominski: Do you have grub or another boot loader installed? | 06:34 |
| infidel | zenrox, thanks | 06:34 |
| moominski | grub | 06:34 |
| Borg^Queen | Is windows listed as a boot option? | 06:34 |
| moominski | no it just boots into ubuntu | 06:34 |
| dazed_ | moominski: did you say yes when installing ubu to adding grub to ur master boot record... | 06:35 |
| Borg^Queen | You need to add it to the list. | 06:35 |
| geneo91 | hehe | 06:35 |
| moominski | im not sure | 06:35 |
| thoreauputic | madstop: do you have secondary nicks in your xchat servers dialogue? like madstop_ or error_29_ with an underscore or similar? | 06:35 |
| geneo91 | good by windows | 06:35 |
| moominski | i dont no im a noob at this | 06:35 |

| moominski | is there no way to get back | 06:37 |
| dazed_ | moominski: i did the same thing aswell but worst thing about it ...i did partition out my windows | 06:37 |
| thoreauputic | jari: should unmount automatically I think, when you eject | 06:37 |
| zenrox | moominski, nope | 06:37 |
| Borg^Queen | moominski: you need to reinstall windows and then ubu, making sure you don't erase windows | 06:37 |

| Administrator | for the love of god someone explain to me how /etc/X11/X works... i'm trying to get the tvout on a dell inspiron 8000 to work, a feat that few are having success with and those that do seem to be documenting it poorly. Apparently having a modified xorg.conf that replaces all DRIVER "ati" to "vesa" allows you to use the atitvout program to switch between screens, but the only way i've found to get this to work is to run X -xf86config - | 06:38 |
| Administrator | depth 24 -auth /var/gdm/:1.Xauth vt8 &, which gives me what a grey screen with a window in the middle and a cursor in the shape of an X in tvout, which is better than nothing... can anyone tell me if there are options i can tweak to get this to work? | 06:38 |

| kain | geneo91, yes, but as far as I know he wants a primary partition | 06:41 |
| Borg^Queen | zenrox: Descent? | 06:42 |
| geneo91 | just the mbr would get wiped so you need to reinstall grub is all | 06:42 |

| farruinn | or even used gimp tbh... | 07:09 |
| bluefoxicy | how the fuck does bittorrent work anyway | 07:10 |
| bluefoxicy | files have random chunks of other files in them | 07:10 |
| geneo91 | farruinn: looks good i have a BeOS skin i use most of the time | 07:10 |
| bluefoxicy | except | 07:10 |
| bluefoxicy | when it finishes | 07:10 |
| bluefoxicy | everything's right. | 07:10 |
| bluefoxicy | bittorrent down ocremix, play one file, you hear chunks from like 10 files | 07:10 |
| DakPowers | Blue, you're downloading chunks from other people... And uploading chunks TO other people | 07:10 |
| farruinn | geneo91: yeah, I don't know if I'll actually be using it much, I have a nice one that matches my enlightenment theme | 07:10 |
| bluefoxicy | when the torrent's done, the files are correct | 07:11 |
| DakPowers | Yep | 07:11 |
| bluefoxicy | DakPowers: Into hundreds or thousands of files at once | 07:11 |
| farruinn | but I thought there should be a brown skin to match human, I couldn't find any | 07:11 |
| bluefoxicy | DakPowers: it's not like it makes 1 big file | 07:11 |
| visor | hey people im not trying to troll but how do you see the default (clearlooks) theme in ubuntu, do you like it? | 07:11 |
| DakPowers | bluefoxicy, I know, I'm just sayin', that's how it works | 07:11 |
| bluefoxicy | it makes like, 01_-_Mario2.mp3 02_-_Sonic3.mp3 03_-_Mario.mp3 and 01_-_Mario2.mp3 will have chunks of the other two until the torrent finishes | 07:11 |
| geneo91 | farruinn: i have kde here with pipe cross so i dont think it would match to well | 07:11 |

| raptor9k | anyone here successfully running NetworkManager in Hoary? Having some trouble getting the NetworkManagerInfo working | 07:12 |
| Borg^Queen | <farruinn> xoxoxo: just comment out all the lines except the security ones in /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:13 |
| bluefoxicy | DakPowers: extrude for 1000 files and grab random sets of 5-10 to associate with random files | 07:13 |
| xoxoxo | tritium: yes, then ? | 07:13 |
| xoxoxo | Borg^Queen: that is not the good solution, rite? | 07:13 |
| farruinn | xoxoxo: just disable anything that doesn't say security in the repositories window in synaptic | 07:13 |
| tritium | xoxoxo, update and upgrade as usual | 07:13 |
| geneo91 | raptor9k: use network-admin in terminal | 07:14 |
| Borg^Queen | xoxoxo: everyone is giving you the instructions you need. Filter out the rest of us and read what they are telling you carefully. | 07:14 |
| signal | is here a way to start an x terminal using a different configuration file than you did for the one that you get when you boot? | 07:14 |
| bluefoxicy | DakPowers: It works werid, I wanna know htf it manages to do that without filesystem damage or massive restructuring at the end | 07:14 |
| xoxoxo | comments out lines, then upgrade? i expect there are some command line option, so i dont need to touch source.list all the time | 07:14 |
| signal | i'm trying now and it seems to not be loading a window manager | 07:14 |
| tritium | xoxoxo, you only edit sources.list once | 07:14 |
| xoxoxo | Borg^Queen: i see the answers, but i think there are better way. | 07:14 |
| farruinn | signal: a window manager or a display manager? | 07:15 |
| Borg^Queen | xoxoxo: it would seem they have a great deal of experience with Ubu, I would take their advice. | 07:15 |
| geneo91 | tritium: not so | 07:15 |
| raptor9k | geneo91: I know its there but I was really hoping to get NetworkManager working... | 07:15 |
| tritium | geneo91, ? | 07:15 |
| xoxoxo | tritium: then after updating, i must modify the sources.list again (to back to normal)? then everytime i need to upgrade for security fixes, i must again modify sources.list??? too bad i guess. | 07:15 |
| Borg^Queen | xoxoxo: at worst, it will do until you find a better way. | 07:15 |
| tritium | xoxoxo, no, you'll always want security updates, won't you? | 07:16 |
| xoxoxo | i meant that is a solution, but that doesnt scale | 07:16 |
| geneo91 | tritium: i've done mine 3-4 times now | 07:16 |
| tritium | geneo91, why? | 07:16 |
| xoxoxo | tritium: but what if i need to install a new software? | 07:16 |
| geneo91 | why because things change everyday | 07:16 |
| tritium | geneo91, not repositories | 07:16 |
| dazed_ | raptor9k: what kinda network trouble you having im having some myself? | 07:17 |
| xoxoxo | Borg^Queen: ok i see, but i wonder if there is another way. | 07:17 |
| geneo91 | yes some do | 07:17 |
| tritium | geneo91, not official ones | 07:17 |

| tritium | geneo91, what I said is correct for official repos | 07:17 |
| farruinn | signal: did this happen randomly or did you just install? | 07:18 |

| Fackamato | you have to make a symlink to /usr/src/linux yourself | 07:46 |
| adamh | technomajian: ubuntu-desktop doesn't actually have any files. It's just a bunch of dependencies. | 07:46 |
| technomajian | Oh, oh, okay. Thanks. | 07:46 |
| LordGrunt | technomajian: ubuntu-desktop is preety useless ;) | 07:46 |
| adamh | technomajian: Unfortunately, when you dist-upgrade you may miss out on nice stuff. For example, when I switched from Warty to Hoary I missed out on Gamin and things got quite broken :) | 07:46 |
| technomajian | I'm a little gunshy in that regard ever since I removed a Mandrake package and hosed my system. lol. | 07:47 |
| technomajian | Ick. | 07:47 |
| adamh | Quarupt: /usr/src/linux-headers-xxxxx | 07:47 |
| dazed_ | jeorb: i found the package...should i install gnosamba on both systems??? | 07:47 |
| adamh | Quarupt: You've gotta have the linux-headers-xxxx package installed first :) | 07:47 |
| Quarupt | it is | 07:47 |
| adamh | So, nobody here has had problems with multiple sound cards? | 07:48 |
| technomajian | If I uninstalled it for now, and then upgraded to Hoary later, and at that point reinstalled ubuntu-desktop, would it require me to reinstall the old OpenOffice as well? | 07:48 |
| adamh | technomajian: Yes. | 07:48 |

| Quarupt | this script is asking for my C header files thta match my running kernel? | 07:48 |
| technomajian | Nuts. Guess I've got a decision to make. hmm ... | 07:48 |
| adamh | technomajian: What *I* ended up doing for a while was just typing in "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop", typing "N" when it asked me, and then apt-get installing the ones from the list which I found important. | 07:48 |

| Quarupt | hrm all thats there is a dir called RPM | 07:49 |
| tritium | Quarupt, did you install the headers already? | 07:50 |
| technomajian | Ah, okay. What's the rationale for the ubuntu-desktop package in the first place, then? Not trying to be lippy, just sort of curious about it. | 07:50 |
| farruinn | technomajian: it's an easy way to make sure all of the "necessary" packages are installed by default | 07:50 |
| LordGrunt | rattboi: k, i have noticed that cd spins a bit when inserted. then, spins a bit more when entering /media/ but /media/cdrom doesnt contain anything | 07:50 |
| technomajian | Ah, okay. | 07:50 |

| pastyhermit | farruinn: yeah I figured as much | 08:00 |

| SmokingFire | And I said its disabled by default | 08:01 |
| technomajian | jasoncohen: that confused me too for a bit, but I eventually figured it out ... lol | 08:01 |
| jasoncohen | heh | 08:01 |
| jasoncohen | so, what's the answer? | 08:01 |
| === jeorb [~chatzilla@CPE-65-29-181-76.wi.rr.com] has left #ubuntu ["back] | ||
| SmokingFire | So anyone can confirm me or jason? | 08:01 |
| jasoncohen | clearly the "first account" has system rights | 08:01 |
| jasoncohen | as root would | 08:01 |
| technomajian | Well, I just RTFM and all was a-okay. ;-) | 08:01 |
| jasoncohen | and as such it seems it is root with a different name | 08:01 |
| SmokingFire | but technomajian is the the root account disabled by default or not? | 08:02 |
| tritium | jasoncohen, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo | 08:02 |
| jasoncohen | how could it be disabled? Some account must have root privileges- call it whatever you want | 08:02 |
| technomajian | It is disabled by default, and you have to sudo everything. However, enabling it is trivial if you really want to. | 08:02 |
| jasoncohen | technomajian: so you can't login as root directly, you have to sudo to get root privileges? | 08:03 |
| DakPowers | Alright... I've read the support documents, Installed ndiswrapper, got the right driver going, LED on the wireless card is on, just now I can't connect to my wlan... Am I doing something wrong? | 08:03 |
| technomajian | Out of the box, yes, that is what I've found. But again, if you want to be able to log in as root, you can set it up to do that by doing a sudo passwd root, and assigning root a password. | 08:04 |
| technomajian | What card do you have, DakPowers? | 08:04 |
| DakPowers | Dell Truemobile 1300 | 08:04 |
| technomajian | Eek, okay. Well, hmm ... did you run modprobe ndiswrapper? | 08:05 |
| DakPowers | I receive signal and everything, I just can't connect to anything | 08:05 |
| DakPowers | Yes | 08:05 |
| technomajian | Oh, okay. I take it you've got the ESSID set up and all? | 08:05 |
| DakPowers | Yeah, but it still won't connect :-/ | 08:05 |
| technomajian | Okay, did you check your default gateway? I had that problem with my card. | 08:06 |

| pastyhermit | what tool says no root in ubuntu | 08:06 |
| DakPowers | Here's the newbie question... Is the MAC address the same in Linux as it is in Windows? | 08:06 |
| HrdwrBoB | pastyhermit: the majority of the developers | 08:06 |
| pastyhermit | lol | 08:06 |
| technomajian | Theoretically, yes. The MAC address should never change. | 08:06 |
| pastyhermit | why then can I type 'sudo passwd' | 08:06 |
| HrdwrBoB | 'sudo' is generally a better idea | 08:06 |
| pastyhermit | then su | 08:06 |
| DakPowers | Because I have my router set up only to send to my MAC addresses | 08:06 |
| pepsi | why do so many people complain about not having root? | 08:06 |
| pastyhermit | lol | 08:06 |
| HrdwrBoB | pastyhermit: you're free to do whatever you like | 08:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | that's the way linux works : | 08:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | :) | 08:07 |
| pastyhermit | so there is a root user | 08:07 |
| pastyhermit | :D | 08:07 |
| pepsi | make one | 08:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | of course there is | 08:07 |
| pastyhermit | so ... | 08:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | however we recommend you don't use it per se | 08:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | only via sudo | 08:07 |
| pastyhermit | why do 'developers say there is none | 08:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | which is the way the ubuntu tools work | 08:07 |
| pepsi | sudo -s | 08:07 |
| pastyhermit | developers implies they have intellegence | 08:07 |
| technomajian | DakPowers, brb. gonna look at something. | 08:07 |
| DakPowers | Alrighty, I appreciate it | 08:07 |
| HrdwrBoB | because it's a lot easier than explaining the entire concept to someone who does not understand | 08:07 |
| pastyhermit | HrdwrBoB: this is true :D | 08:08 |
| HrdwrBoB | if you know enough to know there's a root account, go for your life, do what you want | 08:08 |
| pastyhermit | just say 'Administration or System Password' | 08:08 |

| HrdwrBoB | even things I've done | 08:09 |
| pastyhermit | I guess for the desktops let the users do whayt they want | 08:09 |
| technomajian | DakPowers, you might want to get one of these more serious gurus to tell you what command line ditty to use to check to see what your system thinks the MAC address is. I'm not very good with the command line thing. The MAC address shouldn't change, but I've seen it happen on ethernet cards before, so it may be possible with a wlan too. | 08:10 |
| HrdwrBoB | from a laypersons POV, sudo is generally a better idea | 08:10 |
| HrdwrBoB | because there is only one password | 08:10 |

| jamin_l | DeadZed, what problems have you encountered? | 10:34 |
| DeadZed | uhhh | 10:34 |
| sabmoc | kanga: perhaps the disk image is corrupt. have you tried to download the file again and burn a new disk? | 10:34 |

| jamin_l | i did a full install at the beginning | 10:41 |
| jamin_l | set aside space for Windows | 10:41 |
| sabmoc | is it still necessary to place nvidia on the /etc/modules file? | 10:41 |
| jamin_l | then left the remaining space for Ubuntu and all the partitions it likes | 10:41 |
| sabmoc | jamin_l: partitions are a waste, just make 3 partitions, / /swap and my personal favorite /backup | 10:42 |

| sabmoc | that way you can have as much in your home dir as you want, fill the whole disk with mp3 and movies in your home dir. | 10:43 |
| sabmoc | scizzo: use /backup when you format / | 10:43 |

| scizzo | sabmoc: no thanks...I want to restrict the use of /home a little | 10:43 |
| jamin_l | [Rain] , I think it requires /swap | 10:44 |
| jamin_l | at least a 500MB that is | 10:44 |
| sabmoc | scizzo: well it works for me, i just compress stuff, put in on /backup then reformat root and all is well. | 10:44 |
| [Rain] | in the ubuntu installer it says a swap is optional | 10:44 |

| jamin_l | i'm gonna head to bed... almost 2 am here | 10:51 |
| njan | Quinn_Storm, because ubuntu doesn't have a root user | 10:51 |

| scizzo | DeadZed: if it is part of / then no it won't leave it alone | 10:51 |

| Quinn_Storm | njan: I can su without trouble, entering my root password and such | 10:52 |

| ompaul | membreya, I suggest you look at this > wget -o log https://www.anz.com/wholesale/bankmain.asp?AFFID=01025 < this outputs a file (a) log and a file which is the last part of the url in this case (b) bankmain.asp?AFFID=01025 you can use the command less bankmain.asp?AFFID=01025 or more bankmain.asp?AFFID=01025 cat bankmain.asp?AFFID=01025 | more {or less} :) and see in case (a) what happened (b) what data you actually sucked | 12:00 |
| flawd | if there is then install that | 12:00 |
| membreya | ouch ompaul | 12:00 |
| slept | panther: eSound | 12:00 |
| flawd | because esd is most likely blocking the soudcard for xmms | 12:00 |
| ompaul | membreya, break it up it is lots of little things | 12:00 |
| flawd | so you need to tell xmms to either use esd for output or kill esd when using xmms | 12:00 |

| zooko | So what does the desktopguithingie use to make its beeps and boops? | 02:20 |
| zooko | Because those sounds are working, but xmms, mplayer, aplay all hang. | 02:20 |
| flawd | I got an athlon 1095 Mhz. Is this "k6" or "k7" or what? | 02:20 |
| SiRrUs | zooko set your xmms to use esd | 02:20 |
| bdr | zooko: I think it uses esd | 02:20 |
| Jesterace | yea esd is what I use | 02:20 |
| zooko | It's frustrating, because alsa was working until I upgraded hoary yesterday. | 02:20 |
| bdr | esd has such a high latency | 02:21 |
| jason | can anyone verify a bug for me? | 02:21 |
| zooko | It's too bad there's no feature to downgrade all packages to where they were 24 hours ago. | 02:21 |
| slept | selinium : cat /etc/apt/sources.list , what can you see warty or hoary ? | 02:21 |
| selinium_ | bdr slept: there are a few errors, firstly wanrings that the framebuffers do'nt exist. open/dev/fb0-7: No such file or directory | 02:21 |
| zooko | I guess I should file a bug. | 02:21 |
| SiRrUs | zooko | 02:21 |
| bdr | zooko: alsa will still be working, it's just that esd locks the device for its own use | 02:21 |
| SiRrUs | you can file a bug or do as several of us have suggested | 02:21 |

| zooko | bdr: so upgrading hoary yesterday caused esd to start locking the device? | 02:23 |
| zooko | Because this was all working yesterday. | 02:23 |
| bdr | selinium_: you're using an nvidia card? did you install the nvidia drivers? | 02:23 |
| flawd | membreya, how can I tell for sure? | 02:23 |

| zooko | So, why are there so many different sound systems? arts/esd/polypaudio/alsa/oss. That's a lot. | 02:23 |
| selinium_ | bdr slept: should i try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and use the nvidia drivers instead of NV driver, which hoary chose for me. It all worked before this morning on NV | 02:23 |
| === zooko tries to figure out how to stop esd. | ||
| slept | selinium_: good idea | 02:24 |
| LinuxJones | selinium_, you upgraded to the 2.6.10-5 kernel with Nvidia ? | 02:24 |
| bdr | zooko: possibly it replaced the config file. If you install libesd-alsa0 you can make esd use alsa and then get dmix working | 02:24 |

| BiteMeBill | zooko: trying to print a test page. | 04:35 |
| zooko | Oh well. lpr works. :-) | 04:35 |
| Exposure` | i'm new to ubuntu, the default hoary glibc contains NPTL doesn't it? | 04:36 |
| zooko | So much for this newfangled point-and-drool stuff. | 04:36 |
| rob | zooko why not just tell them you have no idea | 04:36 |
| AnguS | ok i'm at a point where even apt-get -f install gives errors and doesn't work... what can i try now to fix this? | 04:36 |
| zooko | rob: it was a selectbox type thing. Ihad to choose one of three apps that is a post script viewer, to report a bug against that app. | 04:36 |
| zooko | but i don't know which of the three was the one i was using. | 04:36 |
| jbailey | Exposure`: For i386, amd64 and ia64, yes. For ppc, no. | 04:36 |
| zooko | and it irritates me that bugbuddy asked me to spend my time figuring it out instead of figuring it out itself. | 04:37 |
| Exposure` | jbailey: ok thought so. I need glibc without NPTL | 04:37 |

| zooko | I guess I'll learn how to print every-other-page with lpr... | 04:37 |

| SiRrUs | flawd-afk there is no root password | 05:23 |
| SiRrUs | use sudo | 05:23 |
| monteiro | flawd-afk : you can edit xorg.conf or make xorgconfig in root :) | 05:23 |
| flawd-afk | no rootpasword? | 05:23 |

| SiRrUs | flawd-afk does this user have a pword???????? | 05:24 |
| flawd-afk | I only got to enter ONE user and that was a regular user | 05:25 |
| flawd-afk | that user has a password of course | 05:25 |
| SiRrUs | and as I have said there is no root pword use sudo | 05:25 |
| SiRrUs | flawd-afk perfect | 05:25 |
| flawd-afk | SiRrUs, so how do I login as root? I cant? | 05:25 |

| Kamion | mjb: sure, hoary'll be stable soon though | 07:35 |
| Niterider | or more to the point, would i see better performance by apt-getting the i686 instead?? | 07:36 |
| LinuxJones | Kamion, I thought you were one of the developers ? | 07:36 |
| Kamion | mjb: and we'd appreciate feedback about upgrade problems so we can fix them | 07:36 |
| apokryphos | mjb: there is constant progress; it's in developement :). | 07:36 |
| Kamion | LinuxJones: yup | 07:36 |
| Kamion | LinuxJones: this ain't the development coordination channel though :) | 07:36 |
| KudDa | i can connect to the internet ... but i can't get my mouse to work ... :P ... something wrong with me | 07:36 |
| mjb | Kamion: I'm using it right now and I can't complain about hoary at all, it's great work | 07:36 |
| LinuxJones | Kamion, ahhh things are coming along great you guys are doing an awesome job !! | 07:36 |

| IrcUsr | mastertet: i think i read somewhere the first user is the sudoer | 07:38 |
| apokryphos | neighborlee: well, yeah; partly because it's not really needed (it does the job, right?). Though mainly I'd imagine because it's really meant to only be done once... | 07:38 |
| Kamion | mastertet: in warty, only the initial user or anyone you explicitly add to /etc/sudoers | 07:38 |
| mastertet | thanks Kamion | 07:38 |
| Kamion | mastertet: if you installed hoary from scratch or updated sudoers to match the new scheme, anyone in the 'admin' group | 07:38 |
| KudDa | it said my ubuntu is the newest version .... | 07:38 |
| Kamion | mastertet: which is only the initial user by default, so same effect | 07:38 |

| DoppleGanger | go goxy | 07:43 |
| onEnterFrame | so i came to the point where it asks you to configure your partitions | 07:44 |
| ompaul | KudDa, just for your special request: that | 07:44 |
| DoppleGanger | ask again | 07:44 |
| LinuxJones | queuetue, you can use chkrootkit + aide and run them as a cron job every now and then | 07:44 |
| apokryphos | DoppleGanger: I think you mean juxtaposition. Oxymoron would be "secure ubuntu" (by your understanding); oxymoron deals with contrary signification. | 07:44 |
| onEnterFrame | and it only shows my deskdrive (the whole thing, with no partitions specified or shown) | 07:44 |
| onEnterFrame | and I can't do that cause I already have data on the second partition, and obviously setting a new one will delete everything | 07:44 |

| tritium | Kamion, I've seen this twice now, where the DefaultDepth somehow gets set to "1" in their xorg.conf | 08:08 |
| Fl-i-nT | bestadvocate, oh sorry it was a thing in mandrake where there was online sources and you could download and install a package from the internet by typing urpmi <package name here> | 08:08 |
| Kamion | yes, it broke recently | 08:08 |
| flawd-afk | DoppleGanger, right. so is wine available for ubuntu? | 08:08 |

| Fl-i-nT | bestadvocate, ok i did that then i donwlaoded it then a screen appeared terminal like and it said summit about changing something then it told me to close that window now? | 08:40 |
| bestadvocate | Fl-i-nT: *shrug* type gdesklets in consul or something? maybe there is a button in Applications for it? | 08:40 |
| DarthFrog | Riddell: Thanks. | 08:40 |
| amiroff | apokryphos: well, the funny point here is that while other KDE distros don't have 3.4 we, "Gnome" people have it already running here :) | 08:40 |
| bur[n] er | kresten: blackstar: gnome-look.org download a theme... open desktop preferences -> theme, and drag drop the .tar.gz files you downloaded | 08:40 |
| bur[n] er | then... reload the "theme" program | 08:40 |
| bestadvocate | Fl-i-nT: is it done installing? | 08:40 |

| apokryphos | amiroff: kind of, but like R notes.. it's changing; kubuntu is part of ubuntu. Fedora has rc1 in repos... another distro has full 3.4 too now, I think. Can't recall which. | 08:41 |

| flawd-afk | can I add a link on my desktop to nautilus that opens a directory? | 09:16 |
| yq | hmmm I will need newer, since I upgraded to HOary | 09:16 |
| thor|coffee | maxchee: you don't. or at least , not without great difficulty | 09:16 |
| spades | flawd-afk: use command nautilus:///folder | 09:16 |
| speedy2782 | I am not sure what I need to do to access my shared folder from a windows computer. I have set a shared folder and I when I try to access it from a windows computer it asks for user///pass. I enter the one to login into my ubuntu and no juice. What am I forgetting. I have samba and fmbfs | 09:16 |
| inphlict | Is there anyway I can import files form my ntsf system to linux? | 09:16 |
| flawd-afk | spades, yeah but then I wont have the same icon as my homefolder icon | 09:16 |
| maxchee | thor|coffee: then is there at least a way to downgrade xorg | 09:17 |
| flawd-afk | I have to specify it mannually which sucks | 09:17 |
| speedy2782 | and, better yet, how do I find the windows shared files on the network | 09:17 |
| speedy2782 | from ubuntu | 09:17 |
| Solatis | hmmm when I install apache and libapache2-mod-php4, it should configure automatically right ? | 09:17 |
| maxchee | thor|coffee: I believe yesterday's xorg update is the cause of my display problem | 09:17 |
| Solatis | as in, when I restarted my apache2 server, .php files are being offered as download rather than executed as such | 09:17 |
| Solatis | (it's a clean warty install) | 09:17 |
| thor|coffee | maxchee: I think you can just do sudo apt-get install xserver-xfree86 | 09:17 |
| inphlict | Also when i try to listen to radio using Music Player | 09:17 |
| inphlict | I get "There is no element present to handle the stream's mime type audio/mpeg." | 09:17 |
| maxchee | thor|coffee: will that work with hoary? | 09:18 |

| HiddenWolf | flawd: if you're running hoary, it's a bug in gamin, and it'll only appear once you reload the desktop from a term | 09:21 |
| ohgood | altava: shrug, just wondered if it was dual-purpose, but not specified to prevent confusion.. no biggie | 09:21 |

| tiM` | Fackamato, istall what? | 09:25 |

| inphlict | okay thanks | 09:26 |
| flawd-afk | HiddenWolf, how does one "reload the desktop from a term" because I have not done that on purpouse | 09:26 |
| flawd-afk | HiddenWolf, reloading gnome and it should work? | 09:26 |
| Fackamato | tiM`: do whereis iptables | 09:26 |
| chillywilly | HiddenWolf: I notied if I save something to my desktop or if I connect to a server it will not refresh and show the files nor show me the "volume" | 09:27 |
| tiM` | iptables is in sbin (where i'd expect it to be) | 09:27 |
| Fackamato | what's wrong then | 09:27 |
| HiddenWolf | flawd-afk, just logging out, altho there is an easier way | 09:27 |
| tiM` | but in std debian, there is usually a script in /etc/init.d/ that sets up iptables | 09:27 |
| Fackamato | ah | 09:27 |

| inphlict | music works for the other player I have here | 11:47 |
| inphlict | the default one with ubuntu | 11:47 |
| andrewski | inphlict: did you try running xmms in a terminal to see what output it gives? it might have some useful output. | 11:48 |
| Rocha | farruinn, if he uses rhythmbox, gstreamer-mad will help i think :| | 11:48 |
| thoreauputic | inphlict: run it from a terminal and see what errors you get | 11:48 |
| Rocha | farruinn, it helped me | 11:48 |
| ohgood | thoreauputic, is there an all-inclusive list somewhere ? | 11:48 |
| inphlict | how do I run it from terminal i'm a noob | 11:48 |
| inphlict | whats the command | 11:48 |
| MobyTurbo | bajone, it's one CD, but it's very carefully selected to give a full desktop environment. You can get additional packages that aren't on CD with synaptic or apt via the net. Even most of a Debian sid snapshot, which is the largest distro there is. | 11:48 |

| thoreauputic | inphlict: xmms , funnily enough ;) | 11:48 |
| inphlict | xmms | 11:48 |
| andrewski | inphlict: and you can paste the output to #paste | 11:48 |
| inphlict | does nothing | 11:48 |
| xerox | Okay, it doesn't work, it depends on debian-specific packages. | 11:48 |
| inphlict | when I type xmss I can no output in terminal | 11:49 |
| thoreauputic | inphlict: what does `which xmms` say ? | 11:49 |
| keffo | xmms <- | 11:49 |
| keffo | ;P | 11:49 |
| xerox | Do you suggest checkinstall? thoreauputic referred at it as "quick and dirty" :( ? | 11:49 |
| inphlict | sorry I wrote it right in the terminal | 11:49 |
| ohgood | anyone have a sources.list for linux-headers-2.6.10-4-386 ? | 11:50 |
| farruinn | xerox: yeah, if you want the cvs version just use that | 11:50 |
| inphlict | /usr/bin/xmms | 11:50 |
| farruinn | xerox: it's easier than debianizing the source yourself | 11:50 |
| inphlict | is what I get with why xmms in terminal | 11:50 |
| thoreauputic | xerox: works well - makes a deb and installs it | 11:50 |
| andrewski | inphlict: well, does xmms start up when you run it? | 11:50 |
| inphlict | yes it starts | 11:50 |
| xerox | Okay, let me try. | 11:50 |
| inphlict | when i try to load a mp3 | 11:50 |
| inphlict | and play it | 11:50 |
| inphlict | it freezes and I can't close it | 11:50 |
| andrewski | inphlict: ok, try playing an mp3 and get it to freeze; at that point, there should be some output. | 11:50 |
| inphlict | in fact it's open now and I cannot close it | 11:50 |
| andrewski | hmm, no output? | 11:50 |
| inphlict | nope | 11:50 |
| inphlict | it's just frozen on desktop | 11:51 |
| thoreauputic | inphlict: ctrl-c in the terminal | 11:51 |
| inphlict | i didn't run it from terminal | 11:51 |
| thoreauputic | to close it | 11:51 |
| andrewski | inphlict: why not? :) | 11:51 |
| inphlict | doesn't close | 11:51 |
| inphlict | because this was before I came here :) | 11:51 |
| inphlict | I run it from menu | 11:51 |
| inphlict | and it froze | 11:51 |

| farruinn | inphlict: go to a terminal and do 'killall xmms' :) | 11:51 |
| thoreauputic | type xkill in a terminal, and zap it with the mouse, then | 11:52 |
| farruinn | that should get the nasty buggers | 11:52 |
| MobyTurbo | inphlict, run xkill and click on it | 11:52 |
| inphlict | thanks | 11:52 |
| thoreauputic | farruinn: yeah, that's easier | 11:52 |
| inphlict | killall xmms worked | 11:52 |
| ohgood | so, no one has 2.6.10 headers, or a nice HOWTO for nvidia 3d ? | 11:52 |
| farruinn | will xkill get all the threads? | 11:52 |
| inphlict | okay now what | 11:52 |
| thoreauputic | farruinn: probably not | 11:52 |
| farruinn | try running xmms from the terminal now inphlict | 11:52 |
| MobyTurbo | no need to run it in a terminal, just type alt-F2 to run xkill or other non-menued X programs | 11:52 |
