| lrojas | all i wanted was to run the nvidia drivers with hoary | 01:57 |
| jintxo | prince, you probably have to pass an option to the kernel module when you load it | 01:57 |

| ^KrOmE^ | lrojas, there is a much simpler way | 01:58 |
| kwortman | BSDskin: did you look at the error logs? | 01:58 |
| prince | jintxo, okay so is it a module or is it part of the kernel, just make sure as you did say module? | 01:58 |
| odie5533 | That for all cd burning or just audio? | 01:58 |

| eleet | so a wiki told me to drop into a shell and run fsck, but i dont know how to get to a hsell | 02:00 |
| jintxo | prince, yes you have to have the option in modules.conf but the way of putting it htere is not editing the file directly. but creating a file in /etc/modutils/ with the line "option bttv card=X" (or something like that) and then run "update-modules" | 02:00 |
| BSDskin | kwortman: I've updated, upgraded, dist-upgraded, and reconfigured....no avail | 02:00 |

| DarthFrog | goldfish_: The safe way to use it would be to use "sudo -s" to get a shell. Then "cd (directory)" to move into the directory you want to delete. Important: be in the directory! Use "pwd" to confirm that. Sit on your hands for a minute and think about what you are about to do. :-) Then you can use "rm -rf *" to blow everything away in that directory. Then "cd .." to move up one directory and "rmdir (directory)". That'll do it safely | 02:26 |

| pinS | i have no idea | 03:03 |
| mattgirv | pinS: Enabled DMA on your DVD drive? | 03:03 |
| pe7er | but shouldn't be libfaad2 be update with libfaad2-0 ? | 03:03 |
| outlaw | crimusm this is a xorg issue I installed xorg using ubunty .deb's | 03:03 |
| crimsun | pe7er: you need to resolve that conflict: What program requires libfaad2 that you're trying to install it? | 03:03 |
| mattgirv | pinS: Tried a different Renderer | 03:03 |
| pinS | renderer? | 03:03 |
| crimsun | outlaw: which version of the X.Org debs/ | 03:04 |
| outlaw | ubuntu is the only debian destro I know that officaially | 03:04 |
| mattgirv | You get different Drivers for playing video, like... x11 , xvidix etc.. | 03:04 |
| crimsun | outlaw: if you're using Ubuntu's debs, you need to stay current. | 03:04 |
| crimsun | outlaw: in other words, you need 6.8.2-5.1 | 03:04 |
| outlaw | the very very latest I udated today | 03:04 |
| pe7er | crimsun: some norwegian toy with questionable legality called pymystique. i wanted to throw an eye on it because i thought i might be 'cool to have' | 03:04 |

| crimsun | pinS: what are you trying to install? | 03:07 |
| Lightboy | DarthFrog: yeah i found it :P im using gnome but | 03:07 |
| pinS | crimsun, 3d drivers and ati drivers. :) | 03:07 |

| pinS | crimsun, i just love those links dont I? :) | 03:08 |
| mjr | hmh, I do think that the free radeon drivers are quite sufficient for watching dvds | 03:08 |
| lrojas | odd, sudo cd <somedir> does not work, it says that there is no cd command... | 03:08 |
| mjr | more likely the dma issue | 03:08 |
| outlaw | crimsun? | 03:08 |
| mattgirv | pinS: dont forget to enable dma on the drives | 03:08 |
| crimsun | mjr: please walk pinS through those issues. | 03:08 |
| mattgirv | mjr: yeah i mentioned that, along with the card drivers | 03:09 |

| DarthFrog | Lightboy: I've been running Linux since 1993 and learn new things each and every day. Unlike other systems that try to limit you, Linux has the attitude, "OK, what do you want to do now?" :-) I'm the limiting factor in Linux, not the system. | 03:09 |
| mjr | mattgirv, yes, I noticed | 03:09 |
| pinS | dma on drives... i assume that can be done somewhere in here? | 03:09 |

| geneo93 | on my way | 03:58 |
| thully | black_Nightmare - oh, conexant - one is HSF and one is HCF, and they use different drivers | 03:58 |
| jony | black_Nightmare, win modems or softwaremodems rely on apps to do the functions normal modems have built in. | 03:58 |
| thully | HSF is software modem, and HCF is controllerless I believe | 03:59 |
| thully | They are both very similar - use slightly different drivers though | 03:59 |
| black_Nightmare | ehh....guess I'll just try find a cash+trade for external 28.8K or better then | 03:59 |
| black_Nightmare | usr perhaps? ;) | 03:59 |

| bloated | no thanks? | 04:13 |
| lnoldan | crimsun, no, I just replaced the noarch, with the 686 kernel. At boot it pukes on at least two modules. | 04:13 |
| jony | if i add a simbolic link to the java/bin directory in usr/local/bin would it work??? | 04:13 |

| maddler | what if I want to compile a program and I am running an x86_64 kernel? | 04:14 |
| lnoldan | crimsun, the default kernel isn't tailored to any specific processor. it's generic x86 I replaced it with the 686 kernel. hense noarch -> 686 | 04:14 |
| maddler | right now I get checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu | 04:14 |

| maddler | I know I am missing something... but what? | 04:15 |
| Agrajag | maddler: did you install build-essential | 04:15 |
| crimsun | lnoldan: no, that's i386, most definitely an arch. You want linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) | 04:15 |
| thully | Also, does anyone sync an iPod w/iTunes in crossover? | 04:15 |
| thoreauputic | maddler: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 04:15 |

| Absenth | rempresent, I had Xandros 3 on the other computer earlier today. I agree KDE just isn't for me. | 04:59 |
| geneo93 | update it then | 04:59 |
| caffinated | geneo93: right, but this is different because people will order it just because it's free, and it doesn't use up their time. beos also didn't have a livecd, had sub-par hardware support, and it lacked a lot of software. | 04:59 |
| thoreauputic | Absenth: try aterm -tr +sb -sh 80 -fg grey -bg black when you get it, to see waht can be done... | 05:00 |
| rempresent | there is just something about gnome that makes it more current | 05:00 |
| Absenth | rempresent, however, the guys over at Mad Penguin think kde and qt are the cats ass, and gnome/gtk suck. | 05:00 |
| NormD | I'll order a few sets to pass along after the official release. I suspect it might even be "auntie ready" by that point... | 05:00 |
| caffinated | geneo93: someone is more likely to try something if a friend hands them a cd and says "keep it, i have 9 more at home" than if they're given a link | 05:00 |

| rempresent | yep, i agree | 05:02 |
| calc | is FC3's actually generic now? | 05:02 |
| thoreauputic | caffinated: I'm already signed up :) | 05:02 |

| rempresent | i am not crazy about the whole rpm deal either | 05:02 |
| rempresent | apt is the shit | 05:02 |
| Absenth | calc, I dunno about that, but it's just a toolbar across the bottom ala windows. | 05:02 |
| calc | Absenth: that isn't stock gnome | 05:03 |
| caffinated | Absenth: well, to give you an idea: i've used linux off and on forever. and I always go back to windows. there is always some annoyance or issue or problem that angers me enough to go back. I think they may have actually got it to the point where it's a viable alternative now. | 05:03 |

| New2ubuntu | that one worked | 05:18 |
| Roey | ok. | 05:18 |
| odie5533 | What is Apache? | 05:18 |
| Absenth | anyone able to tell me how to create a launcher in xfce? | 05:18 |
| billytwowilly | New2ubuntu, what was the one in the faq? | 05:18 |
| Roey | thoreauputic: interesting. | 05:18 |
| Roey | thoreauputic: so is it illegal now? | 05:18 |
| |al3x| | odie5533: it's web server | 05:18 |
| calc | odie5533: a patchy web server | 05:18 |
| Absenth | Apache? a tribe of indians? also a web server. | 05:19 |
| thoreauputic | Roey: yes, I'd say so :) | 05:19 |

| odie5533 | Isn't Jakarta by Apache? | 05:19 |

| New2ubuntu | they hsould change the faq to say the one you gave m | 05:20 |
| crimsun | Roey: don't pass it that. | 05:20 |
| billytwowilly | New2ubuntu, add a main to the end of that and it will work too. | 05:20 |
| billytwowilly | or should work. | 05:20 |
| Roey | crimsun: that's what strings showed me. | 05:20 |

| New2ubuntu | who do you report this too, so they can modify the Faq for better clarity? | 05:20 |

| crimsun | Roey: when you build a kernel, it uses that one | 05:21 |
| Roey | crimsun: how does it know where this newly built kernel image is? | 05:22 |
| Absenth | alright I'm out for the night. See everyone later | 05:22 |
| crimsun | Roey: that's what kernel-package does | 05:22 |
| Roey | !!!!arg!!!!!!!!1 | 05:22 |
| crimsun | Roey: if you want to run mkinitrd manually, then don't use make-kpkg | 05:22 |
| crimsun | Roey: i.e. for an already-compiled (manually) vmlinuz | 05:22 |
| Roey | crimsun: I have no idea how to do this then. All I want to do is to add a kernel image to grub, and I understand that I need an initrd.img... | 05:23 |
| Roey | crimsun: yes, my linux is already compiled. | 05:23 |
| crimsun | Roey: you don't necessarily need an initrd if you compiled the root fs in as "y" | 05:23 |

| odie5533 | Hmm? | 05:25 |
| odie5533 | I mean divide into folders | 05:25 |
| Roey | crimsun: (but I end up mounting /dev/md2 onto /boot manually, and mount is fine with that) | 05:25 |
| odie5533 | how do people normally divide it up, what folders are usually made | 05:25 |
| DarthFrog | odie5533: Your home directory is your personal space. Use it as it makes most sense to you. | 05:25 |
| odie5533 | Is there a normal way to use it though? | 05:25 |
| DarthFrog | odie5533: Nope. | 05:26 |
| odie5533 | For instance, how do you have it set up? | 05:26 |

| nis | odie5533: you'll want ~/bin and ~/Mail at least. | 05:26 |
| DarthFrog | odie5533: Well, consider your home directory equivalent to My Documents. | 05:27 |
| === sabmoc clubs DarthFrog over the head with a tuna and drags him to the Candian LoCo team... | ||
| odie5533 | I am trying | 05:27 |
| odie5533 | but then why have the ~/bin? | 05:27 |
| geneo93 | well i always make a home dir seperate from / so if i have lots of thing in home i can keep them | 05:27 |
| odie5533 | I have one, Eclipse told me to have on, and thats the only reason | 05:27 |
| thoreauputic | odie5533: useful for scripts and things | 05:27 |
| === DarthFrog slaps sabmoc around with a faintly rancid but rather large trout. | ||
| sabmoc | gah | 05:27 |
| thoreauputic | odie5533: you can add it to your PATH | 05:27 |
| crimsun | Roey: hmm, it would have been easiest to apt-get source linux-image-2.6.10-5-amd64-generic, modify the arches built and the config, and proceed | 05:27 |
| odie5533 | Is that useful to do? | 05:27 |
| odie5533 | I had just been using the /usr/bin | 05:28 |
| thoreauputic | odie5533: depends how you work | 05:28 |
| odie5533 | I don't know how I do | 05:28 |
| crimsun | Roey: does the default ubuntu image work? | 05:28 |
| odie5533 | which is why I am open to suggestions | 05:28 |
| DarthFrog | odie5533: Think of it this way: you should be able to back up your home directory, re-install the OS, restore your home directory and all your data, mail, etc. is back. | 05:28 |
| pinPoint | im stuck getting fglrx working, anyone have time to help? | 05:28 |
| thoreauputic | odie5533: no, /usr/bin should not be used - /usr/local/bin is more sensible | 05:28 |

| odie5533 | why should usr/local/bin be instead? | 05:29 |

| pinPoint | lag and no picture | 05:29 |
| odie5533 | what about lib? | 05:29 |
| odie5533 | /usr/local/lib? | 05:29 |
| thoreauputic | odie5533: /usr/local can be independent of other stuff | 05:29 |
| odie5533 | I saw the empty dirs and thought this is definately not where I should put my files :D | 05:29 |
| DarthFrog | pinPoint: Make sure DMA is enabled for the drive. As root "hdparm -d 1 (DVD drive)" | 05:29 |
| pinPoint | does anyone know why VLC gets audio out of sync | 05:29 |
| pinPoint | DarthFrog: it is | 05:29 |

| Roey | crimsun: I actually built all the modules as per the default ubuntu kernel's /proc/config.gz states (I used that as a base for my .config). How the heck am I gonna stuff all those modules into mkinitrd.img ;) | 05:32 |
| janc | but they don't prosecute selling if you pay taxes :) | 05:32 |
| nis | odie5533: because then I can mount /var/local/<hostname> as a volume, delete it etc and I know I'm only losing/moving 'consumer-oriented' data. | 05:32 |
| odie5533 | prince: I got that a lot too, make your own JRE's, its easier | 05:32 |
| DarthFrog | sabmoc: 1500 lb halibut? They don't get that big, mon ami. Yeah, I know, you did it just for the halibut, you had a porpoise but lobster. | 05:32 |
| odie5533 | mount as a volume? | 05:32 |

| nis | odie5533: mount -t ext2 /dev/hda5 /var/local/mylittlehost | 05:33 |

| odie5533 | Also, what language is... for instance Fire | 05:56 |

| odie5533 | caffinated: no.. both use the same DX version, thats loads close | 05:57 |
| pinPoint | those are allowed in /etc/apt/sources.list? | 05:57 |
| odie5533 | I meant emulating it, not how they were made | 05:57 |

| pinPoint | marrialnt | 05:57 |
| kevman | nis: Its not. | 05:57 |
| caffinated | odie5533: that doesn't mean anything. there is more to the translation layer than what version of DX gets used. | 05:57 |

| caffinated | odie5533: sure. if thought was put in during design time to make a linux port, it's not that hard. | 05:59 |
| DarthFrog | There is no significant difference between making games for Windows or Linux, depending upon the graphics libraries used. | 05:59 |
| nis | kevman: oh, maybe that's ipv6! I never seen that. No clue. | 05:59 |
| odie5533 | I may end up saying ah well I'll just make my games in java, but c++ is too much faster... | 05:59 |
| ells | tritium: formatted in ext3 and then used for programs and files | 05:59 |
| tritium | ells, yes, just pick where you want to mount it | 05:59 |
| kevman | ... | 05:59 |
| caffinated | odie5533: but the fact is, that there is very little profit in making games for linux. | 05:59 |

| maxchee | sabmoc: from yesterday | 08:01 |
| maxchee | sabmoc: the wiki? | 08:01 |
| sabmoc | yes | 08:01 |
| sabmoc | maxchee, use gcursor | 08:01 |
| maxchee | sabmoc: I know, but I kind of expected that to be automatic | 08:02 |
| sabmoc | they call it 'human' cursor theme but its really just jimmac's cursor theme, I hope someone asked him if its ok to change the name. | 08:02 |
| maxchee | sabmoc: Or else they should add a tab to the mosue panel. | 08:02 |
| sabmoc | maxchee, yeah well I didnt know about gcursor, i just installed it manually and found out after the fact | 08:02 |
| maxchee | sabmoc: I thought it was the official cursor because it was the default one on the warty preview live cd | 08:03 |
| sabmoc | maxchee, thats a pretty good idea, I bet thats what is already being planned by the gnome team | 08:03 |
| sabmoc | no, its not packaged with xorg | 08:03 |
| sabmoc | the glass cursors are packaged, but I dont really like them | 08:04 |

| Maz | hi | 08:35 |
| New2ubuntu | but I have created a desktop link and it works | 08:35 |
| rapha | janc: Did you try installing Foresight Linux? Doesn't crash for me there. | 08:35 |
| New2ubuntu | that is what matters to me:) | 08:35 |
| New2ubuntu | Thanks for all the help getting the graphics drivers installed though | 08:36 |
| New2ubuntu | you guys are great :) | 08:36 |
| Maz | I am trying to change to a directory that has space on it, i.e. cd test 1 | 08:36 |
| thoreauputic | New2ubuntu: you should never use the "root console" to run graphical applications | 08:36 |
| Maz | how do i do that? | 08:36 |
| sabmoc | kinema, thats basically just for tweak freaks who dont know better. I dont care what that document says. | 08:36 |
| rapha | About that bug... Warty and Hoary both detect my soundcard correctly (snd-via82cxx), but under Hoary the speakers remain silent. YES, the mixer IS unmuted and turned up. | 08:36 |
| kinema | is there any way to start a hoary install using a floppy? one of my computers won't boot from a CD. | 08:36 |
| thoreauputic | New2ubuntu: but I think you might have misunderstood... | 08:36 |
| janc | rapha : this is #ubuntu, so I use Ubuntu... | 08:36 |
| sabmoc | kinema, did you check your bios? | 08:36 |
| rapha | janc: Sorry. Just a suggestion. | 08:37 |
| New2ubuntu | I will make sure I remember that | 08:37 |
| New2ubuntu | I will just use the run command for Graphical applications | 08:37 |
| rapha | janc: More meant for you to try out wether the problem is in the .deb | 08:37 |
| Maz | kinama: Check your boot sequence/priorities under bios | 08:37 |
| thoreauputic | New2ubuntu: using a non-root terminal is fine | 08:37 |
| kinema | sabmoc: yes. the drives are attached to a PCI addon card and the bios refues to boot off it | 08:37 |
| janc | rapha : I just had to do some C# programming | 08:37 |
| New2ubuntu | ok | 08:37 |
| rapha | janc: kay | 08:37 |
| thoreauputic | New2ubuntu: I don't think you are quite clear on what "root console" means ..? | 08:38 |
| janc | I've used SharpDevelop on WIndows before | 08:38 |
| New2ubuntu | its the console that lets me do what the other console denies permsission too right? | 08:38 |
| sabmoc | kinema, ok, well Im not sure about ubuntu have a floppy install, but I know debian does and I think there is a guide somewhere on the wiki for using the debian installer to install ubuntu, I could be wrong and I've never had to do it. | 08:38 |
| janc | which seems t obe a lot more mature... | 08:38 |
| thoreauputic | New2ubuntu: right | 08:38 |
| New2ubuntu | so I should only use it when I have to? | 08:38 |
| kinema | sabmoc: thanks. i'll take alook | 08:38 |

| selinium_ | mjr: so what do i do with it when i have got it? | 12:28 |
| cusco | then ndiswrapper -i name-ofthe-driver.inf | 12:29 |

| Lin | black_Nightmare, me too.. | 12:49 |
| black_Nightmare | graphics often are useless... windows setup you see too much of then around screen | 12:49 |

| mameluke | arek, i also think i wait first.. but strang that i'm the only one :P | 01:00 |
| viZion | VB can work | 01:01 |

| viZion | and MS is still supporting it, (extended support) | 01:01 |
| black_Nightmare | ubuntu has support for usb1.1 or no? | 01:01 |
| GNAM | seems sure | 01:02 |
| arek | well they decided to drop support on vb it was on /. | 01:02 |
| black_Nightmare | hm ok...well this project I'll try might be interesting.... | 01:02 |
| viZion | they drop normal support | 01:02 |
| black_Nightmare | any of you know about the hp scanjet's? | 01:02 |
| GNAM | auauau | 01:02 |
| mameluke | thx anyway.. as long as everyting runs i won't do anything... arek ;) | 01:02 |
| GNAM | try | 01:02 |
| GNAM | time required to install ubuntu: 1h | 01:03 |
| GNAM | and a free partition. | 01:03 |
| viZion | extended support will still be available for VB6 | 01:03 |
| viZion | also vb6 WILL work under Longhorn | 01:03 |
| black_Nightmare | I guess not | 01:03 |

| rapha | viZion: Your data is still on the disk. | 01:05 |
| viZion | no it wasnt | 01:05 |
| black_Nightmare | *sigh* .. its a usb flatbed scanner with transparency attachment ..... and under 98se it uses a bit of VB because I remember having to install some libraries etc before I could even use the program. but then I dunno if its the scanner driver or just the program that is needing VB | 01:05 |
| IcedKiwi | ive got ubuntu and Fedora core 3 | 01:05 |
| viZion | luckely i got backup of december of my music | 01:05 |
| deFrysk | <--w2k and ubuntu | 01:05 |
| black_Nightmare | but then..if I can figure a pci scsi card into ubuntu I *may* use scanmaker E3 instead (its a bit of a big old scanner hehe) | 01:05 |
| zzyber | can someone tip me about som log reading program for ubuntu | 01:05 |
| black_Nightmare | brb for a while anyhow | 01:06 |
| rapha | viZion: Have you even _tried_ to recover your partition table? | 01:06 |
| claint | zzyber : less | 01:06 |
| viZion | yes i did | 01:06 |
| rapha | viZion: (And btw: no OS I've ever seen in the 18 years of using computers has fucked up a partition table _by_itself_) | 01:06 |
| viZion | installing of Grub Failed | 01:06 |
| arek | black_Nightmare: i got my epson perfection after compiling cvs sane are you sure there is no backend for your scanner? | 01:07 |
| zzyber | claint, less is..........working but :-) I really need some more developed gui kind of logger | 01:07 |
| viZion | i guess it failed because i had my XP on NTFS partition | 01:07 |
| rapha | viZion: Just that: "failed"? No more verbose error message? | 01:07 |
| GNAM | everyone has xp on NTFS partition | 01:07 |

| claint | zzyber : you mean viewer | 01:07 |
| zzyber | claint, yes, of course. Sorry | 01:07 |

| scizzo | GNAM: no...not me | 01:08 |
| scizzo | GNAM: I use fat | 01:08 |
| viZion | well i got a GRUB error after installing | 01:08 |
| rapha | After installing? | 01:08 |
| rapha | What do you mean? | 01:08 |
| zzyber | claint, yes but isnt there some log viewer with pre defined scheme | 01:08 |
| scizzo | viZion: the fact is that you actually have to think and know how and what to partition. | 01:08 |
| GNAM | fat only if you want read/write partition with linux. | 01:09 |
| viZion | installing ubuntu, and then it installs GRUB | 01:09 |
| scizzo | viZion: what has screwed your partitions up is what you tell the install todo | 01:09 |

| viZion | scizzo, i'm not saying it wasnt my fault.. i only say that the setup is in that way not n00b proof enough to make it clear for people, that they should NOT install grub in their MBR but in a seperate /boot partition | 01:10 |
| scizzo | viZion: ? | 01:10 |
| scizzo | viZion: what you should maybe do is to read the information.... | 01:10 |
| viZion | i did | 01:11 |
| zzyber | claint, read why my computer hangs after a couple of hours of running ubuntu, started a couple of day ago and i think it could be a update or a harware failure but i want to know for sure and i dont know where to look for information and i dont know where debian (ubuntu) store information just before a hard reset | 01:11 |

| mjr | I used to do that back when Linux was young, but there's really no point for a workstation. For a server, maybe. | 01:40 |
| rapha | crimsun: I'll try... | 01:41 |
| mjr | teleyinex, not notably (slrn needs screen's conversion though, grr ;/ ) | 01:41 |
| teleyinex | mjr i cant read my mails trough mutt | 01:41 |
| teleyinex | i only see weird characters | 01:41 |
| teleyinex | how can i make that via ssh to my pc i can use utf8 | 01:42 |
| black_Nightmare | any of you heard of lincity? :p | 01:42 |
| mjr | black_Nightmare, yah, it was fun for a while | 01:42 |
| mjr | teleyinex, you need to tell your local ssh client (or the terminal emulator it's run in) to use it too | 01:43 |
| mjr | sadly, ssh doesn't negotiate character sets | 01:43 |
| teleyinex | how? | 01:43 |
| mjr | teleyinex, depends, what're you using? | 01:43 |
| teleyinex | im using now putty | 01:43 |
| black_Nightmare | mjr - I never thought there would be something more areal than simcity -- having to look after the tiny details | 01:43 |
| resiak | teleyinex: Look in its Translations option bit. | 01:43 |
| mjr | well, putty should support utf8, see the preferences | 01:43 |
| black_Nightmare | simcity 2K = okay for city building but not as real, simtown = well a tad real but you don't even have construction features at all, etc | 01:44 |
| teleyinex | ok | 01:44 |
| teleyinex | wait a sec | 01:44 |
| black_Nightmare | guess I'll have to try lincity too..lol | 01:44 |
| mjr | curiosity: there was a linux port of the official simcity semi-available in the mid-90's | 01:44 |

| black_Nightmare | matt... a-train I remembered the very old maxis.com site where I downloaded the atrain slideshow demo and kept using it several times on an old 386 ... father said he asked several stores to no luck these days.... | 01:47 |
| mattgirv | hehe | 01:47 |
| mattgirv | yeah it had very high requirements | 01:47 |
| mattgirv | i still have it, for the amiga though. | 01:47 |

| da_bon_bon | how does slackware display a message on every login ? | 01:48 |
| claint | what do you mean? | 01:48 |
| black_Nightmare | fastforward to around a year ago... aunt (grandfather's sister) already had a laptop and was starting to add more things to it so somehow that long-unused 386 finally had to go and so I took it home to diassemble [and I wasn't a kid anymore, go figure] | 01:48 |
| resiak | da_bon_bon: #slackware ? | 01:48 |
| black_Nightmare | and I found the old a-train demo left on the hd...but seeing its uselessness I deleted it | 01:48 |
| mattgirv | lol | 01:48 |
| claint | da_bon_bon : you mean a message at the login prompt or a message after you login? | 01:48 |
| mattgirv | i still play it now, and elite/frontier elite | 01:49 |
| black_Nightmare | but somehow a-train still kinda lingered a tad bit in my mind..and when I was looking at a hotline for 68k/ppc I found a mac version of a-train so decided to try it | 01:49 |

| memsoft | what is root pass ?? | 03:01 |
| desplesda | mina_linux_Tux: if the ram is damaged then the system may be unstable | 03:01 |
| deFrysk | memsoft, ubuntu uses sudo | 03:01 |
| vaijr2002 | oh ok | 03:01 |
| vaijr2002 | brb | 03:01 |
| desplesda | memsoft: there isnt one, just use `sudo whatever_command` | 03:01 |
| memsoft | thanks | 03:01 |
| desplesda | memsoft: you'll need to type in your user password | 03:01 |
| desplesda | mina_linux_Tux: if the ram is damaged then you'll need to replace it | 03:01 |
| mina_linux_Tux | desplesda: and the issue of restarting is that let you think in ram .. ? if yes why ? | 03:02 |
| vaijr2002 | i dont have that mplayerplug-in.conf file | 03:02 |
| vaijr2002 | plus my mplayer doesnt work right either | 03:02 |
| deFrysk | vaijr2002, in hoary ? | 03:02 |
| desplesda | mina_linux_Tux: to check your ram, boot up the ubuntu live cd and choose the 'MemTest' option | 03:02 |
| supos | has anyone been able to edit the application menu in Hoary? | 03:02 |
| desplesda | mina_linux_Tux: the issue of your windows restarting may be due to ram - if windows has trouble with ram, it will just reboot | 03:03 |
| vaijr2002 | um not sure if its hoary or warty | 03:03 |
| vaijr2002 | lol | 03:03 |
| deFrysk | uname -r | 03:03 |
| deFrysk | vaijr2002, | 03:03 |
| vaijr2002 | could be a bios setting too | 03:03 |
| deFrysk | do that | 03:03 |
| mina_linux_Tux | desplesda: MemTest what it does .. ? and how | 03:03 |
| vaijr2002 | mina | 03:03 |
| vaijr2002 | i had my processor jumper /multipliers wrong and that caused reboots | 03:03 |
| desplesda | mina_linux_Tux: MemTest just runs some checks on your ram | 03:03 |
| deFrysk | vaijr2002, uname -r | 03:04 |
| desplesda | mina_linux_Tux: if there's anything wrong with your ram, MemTest will probably pick it up | 03:04 |
| vaijr2002 | 2.6.10-4-386 | 03:04 |
| deFrysk | vaijr2002, thats a hoary | 03:04 |
| vaijr2002 | ok | 03:04 |
| vaijr2002 | is that better than warty | 03:04 |
| desplesda | mina_linux_Tux: from what you've told me it sounds like your problem is the ram; if that's right then you'll need to replace some or all of your ram | 03:04 |
| mina_linux_Tux | desplesda: why windows reboot due to bad ram .. what lets it reboot and do you have a pointer for a guide on it .. or just | 03:04 |
| deFrysk | vaijr2002, did you install mplayer with apt | 03:04 |
| vaijr2002 | no | 03:05 |

| maxchee | gid and umask will provide you with write access to your windows drive | 07:16 |
| _BIJ_ | maxchee, windows xp has ntfs filesystem... so i'll have to change this right? | 07:16 |
| CarlK_ | dabi - the "server install" needs 350 meg, and 50 gets returned to you when the intall is done. | 07:17 |
| maxchee | _BIJ_: are you trying to mount ntfs? | 07:17 |
| _BIJ_ | yes... | 07:17 |
| maxchee | _BIJ_: then the problem is a bit more complex | 07:17 |
| httpdss | _BIJ_: winXp can also use fat32 | 07:17 |
| maxchee | _BIJ_: fat32 is easier | 07:17 |
| cusco | I have this mouse... which connects to an adaptor which translates to usb.. into the computer | 07:17 |
| slept | _BiJ_ : don't write on ntfs | 07:17 |
| cusco | I disconected it and now I connected it | 07:17 |
| maxchee | _BIJ_: to write to ntfs, you need captive ntfs | 07:17 |
| cusco | and it doesn't moove | 07:17 |
| cusco | any hints please? | 07:17 |
| maxchee | cusco: restart? | 07:18 |
| cusco | besides that... | 07:18 |
| maxchee | cusco: or ctrl+alt+backspace | 07:18 |
| maxchee | and startx | 07:18 |
| cusco | oh.. | 07:18 |
| CarlK_ | cusco - lsusb | 07:18 |

| slept | _BiJ_ : just change type tp ntfs and add an default,ro to fstab | 07:19 |

| viZion2 | no | 07:20 |
| cusco | ok restart x... | 07:20 |
| _BIJ_ | ok i'll try | 07:20 |
| viZion2 | seems that in the warty -> hoary, in the Alsamixer, it changes automaticly to only digital output | 07:20 |
| supos | Does anyone know how to edit the application menu in Hoary? | 07:21 |
| maxchee | cusco: try the wiki | 07:21 |
| _BIJ_ | slept, do i have to reboot in order to see the drive automounted? | 07:21 |
| maxchee | cusco: someone on the forum provided a simple menu editor in python | 07:21 |
| maxchee | _BIJ_: well, yes. But you can mount it now by using mount /mnt/hda1 | 07:22 |
| slept | _BiJ_: make sure you don't have it allready mounted , then just mount -a | 07:22 |
| [FiDO] | I don't think you can in hoary | 07:22 |
| supos | maxchee: I assume that was for me, and in that case thanks | 07:22 |
| larsl | maxchee: No, that doesn't work either. | 07:22 |

| _BIJ_ | slept, it is mounted at the moment... | 07:23 |
| slept | _BiJ_: umount it , then mount -a | 07:23 |

| Riddell | [FiDO] : it's very good in my humble opinion | 07:30 |
| [FiDO] | does add anything to the gnome menus | 07:31 |
| slept | [FiDO] : it's worth a try , kde 3.4 looks really nice | 07:31 |
| [FiDO] | cool my only concern is someone said it adds kde stuff to your gnome menus is there any truth to that | 07:31 |
| [FiDO] | I love gnome's simplicity I just want to try out kde | 07:32 |

| admin0 | i have that card zenrox :) | 08:26 |
| CarinArr | right.. i have an alps touchpad, and it automatically uses the synaptics driver, however, i can't seem to disable it. When looking through the docs it mentions that alps hardware doesn't work properly without applying a kernel patch.. it gives me the patch file to run but i'm not sure how to run it.. have never done kernel patching before | 08:26 |
| land0n | Riddell: I'm not at my box atm. Will kubuntu-desktop produce v3.4 packages? | 08:26 |
| Riddell | land0n: yes | 08:26 |
| zyv | so .... someone can help me to getin'work a voodoo2 under my brand new ubuntu ? | 08:26 |
| larsl | akk: The installer wouldn't autoconfigure my card because my ISPs DHCP server is too slow. =P | 08:26 |
| akk | I have a really generic card, but my new hoary install doesn't see it; lspci sees it but the Device Manager says "Device: Unknown" for my LNE100RTX | 08:26 |
| land0n | Riddell: alright | 08:26 |
| admin0 | ut2004, farcry, ms flight simulator and prince - sands of time rocks | 08:26 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | considering it came from 1998... anything from 16mb vram is nice | 08:26 |
| CarinArr | so could anyone possibly help me or give me a hint of where to find more info about it | 08:26 |
| akk | I should be on a static IP anyway, not DHCP, but the hoary installer didn't bother to ask me that. | 08:26 |
| Nermal | CarinArr: install the kernel source | 08:26 |
| zenrox | admin0, so does nwn gold and et ,etf homeworld , and plaeshift | 08:26 |
| Nermal | usually cd to /usr/src | 08:26 |
| zenrox | plainshift | 08:27 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | dhcp is easier to set up | 08:27 |
| Nermal | and then do patch -p0 </path/to/patch | 08:27 |
| akk | But it's not obvious how to change it later: it seems like there's no ethernet support in the kernel (dmesg didn't mention the card while booting). | 08:27 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | zenrox... you play wolfet? | 08:27 |
| zenrox | ^thehatsrule^, yep | 08:27 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | :D | 08:27 |

| land0n | are any of you guys using a wireless pcmcia? How'd y'all get it configured? | 08:28 |
| akk | I don't see any irq complaints in dmesg ... | 08:28 |
| Nermal | CarinArr: the -p value is the number of lines to skip at the beginning of the patch file.. usually 0 | 08:28 |
| Nermal | akk: cat /proc/interrupts | 08:28 |
| zenrox | ^thehatsrule^, in any of the fps's | 08:28 |

| zenrox | we need a quake3 ubuntu server | 08:31 |

| zane | i was trying to install opera browser but just wouldnt work.. suse has yast which used to work fine with rpms | 08:39 |
| akk | ... and I think the answer is, I don't have ubuntu's kernel there at all. 2.6.10-4-386 is the newest one there. | 08:39 |
| Echylo | zane, ubuntu is debian based, so uses .deb files, no rpm's | 08:39 |

| Nermal | paulsh: never encountered that.. I just use chown user:group <files> | 08:55 |
| kotatsu | jason: in one respect it is less secure - by default sudo rights are conferred upon the user for a length of time, which is easier to exploit in a desktop setting than leaving a root terminal open | 08:55 |
| paulsh | Nermal, i've seen it mentioned a couple of times. thanks, again | 08:55 |

| Spooks | Ahhh, I see why it's not showing | 08:56 |
| kotatsu | jason: e.g., run gksudo to launch synaptic then browse to a web site that attacks a vulnerability that allows code execution - bam, root access | 08:56 |
| jason | kotatsu: how is it less if there isnt a time limit on the root terminal | 08:56 |
| kotatsu | jason: because root terminals aren't normally left open on a regular user's desktop... synaptic, shared folders, etc. are | 08:56 |
| akk | Has anyone noticed that the root terminal is earlier in the list than the regular user terminal? | 08:57 |
| bwlang | anybody tried ifolders? i'm considering it as a replacement for unison. | 08:57 |

| kotatsu | bwlang: tried, but it still seems very incomplete | 08:57 |

| sylvesterxxl | how install epson stilus c42s? | 08:58 |
| miguez | has anyone in here been able to write and compile their own OpenGL app in Ubuntu? I am trying through Anjuta, no success, get glx error even when installing Mesa | 08:58 |
| Nermal | tried system - > administration -> printing I hope | 08:59 |
| sylvesterxxl | im not used to install nothing in linux | 08:59 |
| Nermal | ah. double negatives | 08:59 |
| akk | There were a lot of epson drivers missing in warty, but I think at least some of them are supposed to be there in hoary. | 08:59 |
| bwlang | sylvesterxxl: is that a usb printer? | 08:59 |
| jason | kotatsu: so maybe the time limit issue needs to be fixxed but properly configured sudo is better practice than to stay logged in as root, and possibly safer | 08:59 |
| sylvesterxxl | yes | 08:59 |
| kotatsu | miguez: are you using dev packages? I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but it sounds as if you're missing the source code you need | 08:59 |
| sylvesterxxl | usb printer | 08:59 |
| Nermal | miguez: 56 people in #opengl at the moment | 09:00 |
| sylvesterxxl | bwlang | 09:00 |
| miguez | thank Nermal, will check | 09:00 |
| kotatsu | jason: the main problem with the way it is currently configured is that the default ubuntu tty_tickets sudo setting doesn't appear to protect against desktop programs | 09:00 |
| bwlang | sylvesterxxl: when you're responding to one person in particular... use username: or something like that - so that people's IRC clients can flag the message | 09:00 |
| kotatsu | jason: in fact, I should bug that | 09:00 |
| sylvesterxxl | what should i do to install usb printer epsonstylus c42s? | 09:00 |
| bwlang | sylvesterxxl: when you plug it in what happens? | 09:00 |
| Nermal | sylvesterxxl: I've told you . kindly try it | 09:00 |
| miguez | Kotatsu, I write my own, but did so in Win up 'til now. I understand Mesa comes with the Xorg in Ubuntu, but downloaded the latest one, and when compiling, Mesa throws out an error as if when it gets to the glx files, it doesn't know what they are | 09:00 |
| Nermal | miguez: .h files ? | 09:01 |
| kotatsu | jason: I can launch synaptic, enter a password, then launch shared folders without entering a password... I guess because they're both launched from the same tty | 09:01 |
| miguez | kotatsu: have you compiled Mesa successfully? | 09:01 |
| bwlang | sylvesterxxl: it's generally considered rude to repeat the same question in a short period of time. | 09:01 |
| miguez | Nermal, yes | 09:01 |
| Nermal | miguez: install the -dev packages | 09:01 |
| Nermal | in apt | 09:01 |
| sylvesterxxl | username:nermal to respond? | 09:01 |
| akk | sylvesterxxl: auto-detect often doesn't know about recent printers. Have you gone through the printer list? Is there anything similar? | 09:02 |
| Nermal | xlibmesa-dev for example | 09:02 |
| kotatsu | miguez: nope - in fact I'm not much of a programmer, it's just my best guess. the things you need to compile with are the -dev packages | 09:02 |
| miguez | Nermal: installed libgnomeui-dev already | 09:02 |
| miguez | any other devs I am missing? | 09:02 |
| kotatsu | miguez: you need the -dev packages for any required dependency your program has | 09:02 |
| === Nermal plays cut and paste the same answers | ||

| ^thehatsrule^ | its much easier to find external dns servers | 09:19 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | just use the host computer, goto network settings | 09:19 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | and theres your dns settings! | 09:20 |
| sylvesterxxl | kotatsu:how see films in divx and which program to hear mp3? | 09:20 |
| kotatsu | sylvesterxxl: get codecs from mplayerhq.hu for divx, for mp3 playback there are a ton of programs... beep, xmms, rhythmbox, etc. | 09:20 |
| cal_ | I called charter cable and asked for the DNS servers IP. They told me they don't give them out, buecause my computer should pull them down automatically. | 09:21 |
| kotatsu | sylvesterxxl: check out the wiki at ubuntulinux.com for how to set up mp3 playback | 09:21 |
| raetsel | but out of the box rhythmbox doesn't play MP3s you need to add the package gstreamer-mad for the plugin | 09:21 |

| raetsel | Did you read all the thread sabator? It mentions several ways to fix it using different tools. Including one for the grub menu | 09:50 |
| deFrysk | I believe is was xandros | 09:50 |
| Xira | Eww | 09:50 |
| Xira | There should be Ubuntu PCs | 09:50 |
| Xira | ^_^ | 09:50 |
| deFrysk | anyway linux distros with m$ additudes | 09:50 |
| deFrysk | bad thing | 09:50 |
| Nermal | ubuntu macs :P | 09:50 |
| Xira | Imagine a PC with a Ubuntu logo on it | 09:51 |
| Xira | That would be wicked | 09:51 |
| deFrysk | there should be empty , no os standard pc' s | 09:51 |
| deFrysk | free to choose | 09:51 |
| Sabator | I saw the one about the grub menu raetsel | 09:51 |
| Xira | I don't want Linux to be mainstream or popular | 09:51 |
| raetsel | any good? I only skimmed the postings Sbator | 09:52 |
| Sabator | But I don't know what yast2 is, raetsel | 09:52 |
| deFrysk | Xira, i do | 09:52 |
| Xira | Why? | 09:52 |
| deFrysk | good for developement | 09:52 |
| Xira | So it can be attacked like windows? | 09:52 |
| deFrysk | the more the better | 09:52 |
| kotatsu | Sabator's problem doesn't sound like a bios problem | 09:52 |
| deFrysk | Xira, that not true | 09:52 |
| Xira | Xirdneh: I don't want grandma running Linux | 09:52 |
| raetsel | oh yast2 is like a package manager for other distros ( I think ) | 09:52 |
| kotatsu | he said he's inside of linux right now, and the error messages sound like windows choking, not the bios or grub itself | 09:52 |
| deFrysk | xira thats windows fud | 09:52 |
| Sabator | It's a problem with GRUB, kotatsu, GRUB loads windows incorrectly | 09:52 |
| Zyan_eq | ok, since I can't seem to find ncurses-dev or qt-dev what do you guys use to rebuild the kernel? | 09:53 |
| Xira | So you don't think there would be more Linux viruses if it were mainstream? | 09:53 |

| raetsel | the up arrow, Koji? | 09:55 |

| Redwraith111 | nis: is it a large deal? because I have a root account I just have a hard password and a stealthing* firewall and router | 10:38 |

| bung__ | jason: I doubt that | 10:39 |
| raetsel | no jason I thin the account is locked with "passwd -l" | 10:39 |

| Redwraith111 | do you guys have to click on the title bar to bring a window to front or did i mess a setting? | 11:01 |
| petemc | kensai: good is relative | 11:01 |
| nis | Redwraith111: so the essential is (at the console) 'startx -- :1' | 11:01 |
| kensai | but is a better statistic than windows cause there only exist one and is worthless | 11:01 |

| nis | Redwraith111: title-bar clicking is a function of your chosen window-manager. Each has it's own idea about this. | 11:05 |
| Brunellus | I'm running flux now, and liking it | 11:05 |
| Brunellus | although. | 11:05 |
| kensai | topyli, good one debian and gentoo are the best to customize your needs I'm in love with both debian when I feel like not compiling in the box I put it ;) | 11:06 |

| Brunellus | I'm trying to work out how to make it run dockapps when it starts without those same apps running when I run gnome | 11:06 |
| andrewski | xfwm4 rocks the house! | 11:06 |
| topyli | Brunellus: in ubuntu, do you get the debian menu when you install fluxbox or E or another simple window manager, or do you have to build a menu? | 11:06 |
| syn-ack | a base Gentoo install is about 1 gig, thats not bad if Im running something "custom" and I dont mind taking the space. For all other "custom" installs its Debian, seeing that I can get a base install of that down to about 500 megs | 11:06 |
| Brunellus | topyli: you will have to build a menu. | 11:06 |
| nis | I use 'wmsetbg' from windowmaker tho. | 11:07 |
| geneo93 | Brunellus: you need some kde apps for that | 11:07 |
| topyli | kensai: yes | 11:07 |
| topyli | Brunellus: ah. not too bad still, at least with E | 11:07 |
| Brunellus | do NOT use the fluxbox .deb on the warty repositories | 11:07 |
| Brunellus | it is ANCIENT. find a 0.9.12 .deb; things will run nicely. | 11:07 |
| kensai | which version is enlightenment in ubuntu? | 11:07 |
| syn-ack | or if Im building my custom routers with a Soekris, I use Peanut linux | 11:07 |
| syn-ack | kensai: the same one thats in the rest of the world. E 16 | 11:08 |

| syn-ack | kensai: I *highly* doubt E 17 would be in there. | 11:08 |
| nis | topyli: the 'menu' package does that I believe. | 11:08 |
| Brunellus | geneo: why KDE apps? | 11:08 |
| topyli | kensai: nobody has E more recent than .16 i guess, except real E sportsmen :) | 11:09 |
| kensai | syn-ack, I was using e17 alpha in gentoo a few days ago from cvs and is going to impress everybody is so awesome | 11:09 |
| topyli | nis: comes with universe :) | 11:09 |
| Brunellus | what I'm looking for is a way to fudge the init script so that it runs wmix and wmcpuload when flux starts | 11:09 |
| Brunellus | but otherwise does nothing if I want to run gnome | 11:09 |
| geneo93 | Brunellus: fluxbox uses them | 11:09 |
| ikaro | sorry. fixed. | 11:09 |
| nis | topyli: for example I have full menus in blackbox (forced to use it because sawfish is broken until I finish the upgrade to ubuntu). | 11:09 |
| syn-ack | kensai: inho, E 17 is like the HURD... its the WM of the future... The future will never come though | 11:10 |
