| michael_ | hi all.. i'm trying to get my sound to work.. but it simply won't.. any help would be appreciated.. when i run the hoary live cd i get sound, and when i run the installed version of hoary i don't get sound | 12:19 |
| geppy | michael_: Do you have the sound system muted? | 12:19 |
| geppy | michael_: if you | 12:19 |
| michael_ | geppy: negative | 12:19 |
| geppy | michael_: if you 'apt-get install aumix', you can check to make sure that it's not | 12:20 |
| geppy | michael_: Sure? The mixers like to mute themselves. | 12:20 |
| mjr | well, the gnome mixer that's installed by default should do too... | 12:20 |
| michael_ | well i get Errors when i run anything that plays audio | 12:20 |
| mjr | that's a driver problem, probably, then | 12:21 |
| geppy | mjr: GNOME-mixer allows things to get "locked" such that you can't modify them. =/ | 12:21 |
| geppy | michael_: What kind of errors? | 12:21 |
| michael_ | geppy: for example when i try running Volume Meter i get the error "cannot connect to sound daemon. please run 'esd' at a command prompt | 12:21 |
| mjr | or your user isn't in audio group | 12:21 |
| geppy | mjr: He has an SBLive, I don't see why. | 12:21 |
| mjr | depends on the errors, really | 12:21 |

| geppy | michael_: You probably aren't in the audio group, like mjr mentioned. | 12:22 |
| mjr | could the OSS emulation layer be missing for some reason... | 12:22 |
| geppy | mjr: ESD uses OSS =P | 12:22 |

| mjr | geppy, yes, and if trying to use /dev/dsp yields "no such device", well... | 12:23 |
| thoreauputic | DemonTears: I just tested that command in fluxbox, and it worked fine - gnome is using an overly of the root window, so nothing shows | 12:23 |

| RupertSw | madel, Although either would probably work. | 01:09 |
| greebo | jnoon, from memory, ubuntu-base is a "nothing" package that simply depends on a lot of stuff, making installing a working base easy for the initial installation. I don't think removing that package itself is a problem but I could be wrong | 01:09 |

| ian | caffinated: oh no-- keep synaptic around. in fact with .deb there's no reason to not have many different front ends | 01:36 |
| caffinated | ian: might be an interesting suggestion for the synaptic maintainer | 01:37 |
| [bn] ennoia | You could have bunches of things too | 01:37 |
| thoreauputic | ian: there *could* be a "simple" package manager, with an "advanced" button to pop up synaptic | 01:37 |
| [bn] ennoia | like a "wireless" package, that installs all the things needed for a good wireless experience :o | 01:37 |
| ian | caffinated: but the default should be the easy one. so yeah, either synaptic could have two modes or ... yeah what thoreauputic just said | 01:37 |
| [bn] ennoia | A user might know they have wireless, but not know which peices of software they need to make it all work | 01:37 |

| black_Nightmare | carlk - ty :) | 01:50 |
| ian | caffinated: I could go on about synaptic... a 6-page preferences dialog (better if no prefs needed). filters? (remove). remove file menu. remove Edit menu (maybe have a search box on the main window like firefox). remove package menu. in fact, I can't find any useful menu items for novices except Help, but they wouldn't need that in an easier app :) | 01:51 |
| mjr | There are some old parallel port ethernet adapters; slow, but may be functional. I don't know about support or availability nowadays. See eg. http://www.home.unix-ag.org/nils/accton_linux.html | 01:52 |
| caffinated | ian: agreed. i'm just thinking it might be better as one integrated application to avoid confusion. | 01:52 |
| CarlK_ | oh yeah! I have a xircom! | 01:52 |
| thoreauputic | ian: one problem is that descriptions of packages are ...ummm... rather geeky for the average novice | 01:52 |
| ian | caffinated: what kind of integration are you thinking of? what about having the easy one be able to launch the hard one | 01:52 |
| thoreauputic | the search function works OK but package names can be unintuitive | 01:53 |
| CarlK_ | I think the paralel port can do 1.5mbps, about as fast as my cable modem before comcast started speeding them up ;) | 01:53 |
| caffinated | ian: well, you'd start the easy one as the default, and then you could either a) make a preference to switch to the hard, or b) make a conspicuous button that is labeled "easy mode" and "hard mode" respectively. | 01:53 |

| black_Nightmare | brb :p | 01:54 |
| ian | thoreauputic: remember that it would only be apps (not -dev, libraries, etc.), and only ones that use modern technology (GTK2) and at least try to fit in in gnome (ie. be easy to use). so not too many, I think | 01:55 |
| caffinated | ian: i don't really see a problem with having the two modes in the same program, provided that there is a really obvious way to switch. | 01:55 |
| CarlK_ | black_Nightmare - i thnk you are confusing someting | 01:55 |
| ice_1963 | synaptic is vary good you know that =) | 01:55 |
| ian | it's good for us... :) | 01:55 |
| caffinated | otherwise you get in to having multiple package managers on the same system, and for a novice, that may also be confusing | 01:55 |

| Quest-Master | Roey: Gnome's main menu in Hoary takes almost 15 seconds to load on my fabulous machine | 03:49 |
| tomcat | Very nice... | 03:49 |
| Roey | mebaran151: everyone says that but kde can be less resource dependent than xfce... it depends on what KDE components you want to use | 03:49 |
| typo | ian: a quick kernel install later and I have ACPI and sound | 03:49 |
| kkathman | mebaran...I just have a very minimal system right now...only 96mb memoryUGH | 03:50 |
| Roey | Quest-Master: I'm happy your machine is fabulous ;) | 03:50 |
| crimsun | Roey simply likes kde, let's leave it at that. | 03:50 |

| tritium | eyequeue, it's still the case | 04:52 |
| jordanau | guys i am pretty stuck here | 04:52 |

| tritium | eyequeue, no idea. I don't touch backports | 04:52 |
| eyequeue | tritium: all of the forum posts i've read about it seemed to indicate that the dpkg in hoary handles numbering differently now? (hence no longer is an issue) | 04:53 |
| jordanau | I am running vsftpd and have an ftp server up and running, unfortunately, i can't find where the folder where my ftp stuff is located | 04:53 |

| jordanau | |QuaD-, I got it fixed thank you for your help, | 05:02 |
| |QuaD- | np | 05:03 |
| jordanau | how would i link all of my music files from /media/windows to /home/ftp ?? | 05:03 |
| jordanau | that way people could read them from ftp and i won't have to waste diskspace copying them to a whole new folder | 05:04 |

| eyequeue | or will he need o check some config file? (i don't run any ftps, just know symlinks can be an issue elsewhere) | 05:05 |

| Desolate | I don't recall even messing with that in the ubuntu install | 05:07 |

| eyequeue | Desolate: warty of hoary? | 05:07 |
| thoreauputic | Desolate: well, if X is running, you most definitely have X11 in /etc | 05:08 |
| eyequeue | Desolate: warty oR hoary? | 05:08 |
| thoreauputic | eyequeue: either way, he would have an X11 dir in /etc | 05:08 |

| Desolate | which is, I guess, what the case is then, thoreauputic | 05:11 |
| jordanau | |QuaD-, is the permission created when linking? | 05:11 |

| |QuaD- | got to the directory, ls-l | 05:14 |
| thoreauputic | Desolate: umm... you are making some kind of mistake then - /etc/X11 *must* be there | 05:14 |
| |QuaD- | * ls -l | 05:14 |
| eyequeue | Desolate: okay, if you have a graphical user intferface (icons, mouse, etc) then you have X11 running, and hence that directory .... and if you don't know linux from elsewhere, i suspect you would not be comfortable at a commandline ... so, i'm unclear | 05:14 |
| Coily | since i installed mozilla's 1.0 tar.gz, will i need to do anything extra before upgrading to hoary? | 05:14 |

| Desolate | instead of 24, which it does not support | 05:14 |
| eyequeue | Desolate: as has already been mentioned, i'll repeat: it is /etc/X11/ not /etc/x11/ | 05:14 |

| tritium | hi ells. You're back... | 07:06 |
| Wildthing | is there an equivalent of karamba/superkaramba for gnome? | 07:06 |
| balzac | nis, one can't be in a hurry for social evolution, but that doesn't mean one has to be satisfied with the status quo. I don't buy into everything either marx or stallman ever wrote, but I can see the parallels between buddhist and socialist principles. | 07:06 |
| eyequeue | fangorious: the linksys card, of the *same* model number etc, had at least four different revisions, all of which used a *different* chipset (and thus required a different driver) as ridiculous as that sounds | 07:06 |
| nis | Brend: when we get to to 'Microsoft Distribution' of Linux then I'm worried. ;) | 07:06 |
| jdub | nis: the GPL is not "viral". at every point, someone using GPL code a) has a responsibility to understand the license and b) has every option to not use the code. | 07:06 |
| tritium | Wildthing, gdesklets | 07:06 |
| Wildthing | oh ok | 07:06 |
| Wildthing | i thought those were only for like weather things | 07:06 |
| nis | ells: / | 07:06 |
| eyequeue | fangorious: quite the pain determining this of course, when someone tells you that you need driver "foo" for that model, etc. is it possible that the same is true of yours? | 07:07 |
| tritium | ells, shall we finish up the new hard drive stuff? | 07:07 |
| nis | jdub: Perhaps. | 07:07 |
| fangorious | eyequeue, i've been using the orinoco driver bundled with the kernel for a long time, FC 1-3, ubuntu warty, ... | 07:07 |
| balzac | i happen to believe that when people become mature enough to realize their self-interests are aligned with the interests of others, some kind of socialist equilibrium emerges. | 07:07 |
| jdub | nis: there is no perhaps about it. | 07:07 |
| Brend | balzac, a whole lot of people through history have believed that, and been emphatically wrong about it :) | 07:08 |
| eyequeue | fangorious: oh, the same physical card? then you know it's that driver, ignore what i said | 07:08 |
| fangorious | eyequeue, :) | 07:08 |
| ells | tritium: actually, I got this wireless card, and thought I would try to get it working | 07:08 |
| nis | jdub: perhaps. | 07:08 |
| balzac | that is based on maturity and individual development. it can never be forced on people from outside. | 07:08 |
| ells | tritium: feel up to it | 07:08 |
| tritium | ells, I have the solution for your hard drive I believe | 07:08 |

| jdub | |QuaD-: beagle might make it into hoary universe, unfortunately the goal posts have been moving a fair bit. | 07:09 |
| ells | tritium: at school | 07:09 |
| jdub | |QuaD-: ifolder is still in a pretty terrible state (and doesn't do p2p yet, which makes it far less useful). | 07:09 |

| ells | tritium: I will put the card in then | 07:10 |

| jdub | |QuaD-: 0.0.8 requires a new point release of mono | 07:11 |
| balzac | there's no hurry and no need to politicize it, since it depends entirely upon individual development. | 07:11 |
| jdub | balzac: this is pretty off topic for this channel, take it elsewhere please | 07:11 |

| eyequeue | elcu: browse to the directory that apt-get says the file is in, it will be "most" of what you need, add the rest per my example (like "pool") | 07:30 |
| eyequeue | elcu: you'll probably need a coiple of debs, so write down the whole list of what you need while in linux | 07:31 |

| elcu | eyequeue: i'm not afraid of reboots :) | 07:33 |

| n4cht | ok... how hard will it be to upgrade from warty to hoary? according to the website, you should never have to 'reinstall'.. so does that mean all upgrading is done online, like it suggests? | 08:01 |
| tritium | lrojas, you might look at vpnc if you have a vpn that uses pptp or mppe | 08:02 |
| eyequeue | n4cht: simple, as far as your typing a few things, but could be long if you're on dialup | 08:02 |
| eyequeue | n4cht: you edit a file, /etc/apt/sources.list, then type two commands, then wait an eternity if you're on dialup for the downloading, heh | 08:03 |
| n4cht | eyequeue, that's awesome. i'm considering making the switch from mepis to ubuntu. with mepis, to upgrade, you have to keep /home in a diff. partition, and 'preserve' it after downloading, and burning the newest copy of mepis. | 08:03 |
| nis | yeah I still haven't chosen a kernel source yet. | 08:03 |
| nis | I'm still leaning toward the benh kernel if it's still active. | 08:03 |

| === da_bon_bon [~rohandhru@203.212.221.132] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| eyequeue | n4cht: well, the "official" recommendation no doubt is probably to back up your /home beforehand, that's a good precaution, but i'll bet 99% will upgrade without it and have no problem | 08:04 |

| eyequeue | n4cht: 2.6.10 i think, but i'm on warty | 08:06 |
| Fackamato | n4cht: up to 2.6.11 is available, I think it comes with 2.6.10 by default, or 2.6.8 | 08:06 |
| Fackamato | Are there any issues with the AMD64 version of Hoary? | 08:06 |
| Fackamato | Or does everything work as good as on 32bit. | 08:06 |

| eyequeue | some | 08:07 |
| samatman | how od you find out if you have hoary or warty? i forgot to label my burned cd's so i picked one and installed | 08:07 |

| Fackamato | it's 8am and I haven't slept yet ;P | 08:07 |
| elcu | eyequeue: back again. i'm really sorry to ask again, i wrote down the dpkg command and saved the ftp site, but i forgot the apt-get command to check which packages i need. | 08:07 |
| eyequeue | samatman: dpkg -l dpkg | 08:07 |
| n4cht | i'm running warty livecd right now. i couldn't decide between warty or hoary, but now that i know hoary comes with a kernel newer than 2.6.7, i think my decision has been made. | 08:07 |
| Fackamato | n4cht: No need to use warty over hoary imo. :> | 08:08 |
| Fackamato | s/need/reason | 08:08 |
| eyequeue | elcu: let's see, the ati right? you said you had some web site with directions? i don't know it offhand, but run whatever that website said | 08:08 |
| eyequeue | n4cht: ii dpkg 1.10.22ubuntu2 Package maintenance system for Debian | 08:08 |
| samatman | nothing says 'hoary' or 'warty' | 08:08 |
| n4cht | thanks a bunch folks. i'll be back (hopefully) in the next hour or so, running hoary. :) | 08:09 |
| samatman | 1.10.22ubuntu2 is warty? | 08:09 |

| n4cht | i just hope the installation process is easy. i'm trying to ditch my windows partition and share my mepis swap with ubuntu. | 08:37 |
| ells | can anyone tell me where the linux source directory is on the system | 08:38 |
| eyequeue | samatman: in a terminal, type "sudo dpkg --install *.deb" | 08:38 |
| deFrysk | ells, /usr/src/ | 08:38 |
| eyequeue | samatman: in a terminal, type "sudo dpkg --install big-long-filename.deb" | 08:38 |
| ells | thats it | 08:38 |
| n4cht | ells, uh.. what do you mean by 'source directory' ? you mean the root dir, or /usr/src? | 08:38 |
| ells | not /usr/src/Linux or something | 08:38 |
| din | deFrysk: looks good | 08:39 |
| nis | samatman: 'ar x file.deb' to unpack it; dpkg -i file.deb to install it. | 08:39 |
| din | deFrysk: i'm no gnome guy at all though | 08:39 |
| din | :) | 08:39 |
| ells | n4cht /usr/src | 08:39 |
| deFrysk | din, a few tweaks from art.gnome.org and gdesklets ;) | 08:39 |
| nis | samatman: skip the 'ar' part, that was pedantic. | 08:39 |
| ells | deFrysk, not /usr/src/Linux or something | 08:39 |

| n4cht | has anyone had any problems with getting gdesklets working with ubuntu? i could never get it to work with mepis, but that's likely because, as was mentioned earlier, it's too kde-centric. | 08:40 |
| nis | ells: /usr/src/linux/ is usually a soft link to /usr/src/<kernel-variant-name> | 08:40 |

| vitalis | Hey everyone! I've just installed Hoary, and everything works great apart from Gnome 'feels' slow.Like windows redraw slow etc. But I don't see any processes that are out of control | 10:07 |
| Seveas | ubuntu-desktop is a DUMMY PACKAGE | 10:07 |
| Seveas | pinPoint, this is one of the marvels of .deb packaging | 10:07 |
| BEAST | To not make trouble let's private message, | 10:07 |
| vitalis | Anybody else seeing this problem? | 10:07 |
| Seveas | ubuntu-desktop is a useless package, but the stuff it depends on makes up a fine desktop | 10:07 |
| pinPoint | a marvel? | 10:08 |
| pinPoint | hmm | 10:08 |

| BEAST | nope, | 10:13 |
| BEAST | I can't | 10:13 |
| vitalis | i know fedora is crap, but the redrawing was crisp etc. this laptop feels awful with ubuntu | 10:13 |
| Seveas | weird | 10:13 |
| Dougcan_ | however I do have a small problem that's driving me nuts. | 10:13 |
| Dougcan_ | I installed some development software using synaptic | 10:14 |
| pinPoint | thanks Seveas | 10:14 |
| pinPoint | bbll | 10:14 |
| Seveas | BEAST, so you can't do anything after seeinng the word "grub"? | 10:14 |
| vitalis | if I alt+tab to a firefox window for example, i can see the window draw down the screen. | 10:14 |
| Seveas | and it is a redhat-only system? | 10:14 |
| Dougcan_ | so in the Gnome application menu I should see a "programming" sub menu right? | 10:14 |

| Seveas | if you want to add more entries yourself, Amaranth has a nice editor for that | 10:22 |

| nis | CoRzA: be sure X11 is totally stopped between iterations. | 11:44 |
| CoRzA | nis, where is xvidtune? | 11:44 |
| Deviad | javier_, and I told you that you can get k3b via apt-get | 11:45 |
| CoRzA | and also i cant change it it still says read only | 11:45 |
| Deviad | do apt-get install k3b* | 11:45 |
| ghent | deFrysk, let me check if i installed it | 11:45 |
| nis | CoRzA: traditionally, /usr/X11R6/bin/X11/xvidtune, iirc | 11:45 |
| Deviad | :) | 11:45 |
| Pizbit | javier_: Nautilus has cd burning built into it, just use that | 11:45 |
| nis | (drop the 2nd X11 that's a mistake on my part) | 11:45 |

| sihen | root@Enigma:/home/sihen/Desktop/skin # mv * ~/.xmms/Skins | 11:45 |
| sihen | mv: when moving multiple files, last argument must be a directory | 11:45 |
| Deviad | OK, getting back to my problem, what do I have to do to reinstall Grub? | 11:45 |
| deFrysk | ghent, also read http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats | 11:45 |
| Tugg | ghent, you need to use synaptic to download the gsteamer codecs | 11:45 |
| Pizbit | sihen: Put the / on the end | 11:45 |
| javier_ | Pizbit; How to burn | 11:45 |
| Pizbit | And make sure it is a directory that exists | 11:45 |
| deFrysk | Tugg, do you now ? | 11:46 |
| CoRzA | nis, ok found it | 11:46 |
| Deviad | Pizbit, ja but k3b is like neroburning | 11:46 |
| CoRzA | nis, umm i cant change xorg.conf | 11:46 |
| Deviad | you can burn dvd and a batch of things | 11:46 |
| nis | CoRzA: if the CRT fails to sync power it down IMMEDIATELY. or if it makes a high-pitched whine. | 11:46 |
| Pizbit | Go -> CD/DVD Creator (Or is it burn in warty?) and add stuff, then right click and burn/write-to-disc | 11:46 |
| ghent | Tugg, why synaptic ? i'm used to apt-get | 11:46 |
| deFrysk | in gnome one can use graveman iso k3b | 11:46 |
| Pizbit | CoRzA: Use sudo | 11:47 |

| djp | Deviad: why would it be missing? what database? | 11:50 |
| Tugg | what ever gets the job done the quickest | 11:50 |
| nis | Deviad: the config file may give a hint. I don't use grub. try gr[tab] [tab] for a list of possible completions. | 11:50 |
| javier_ | Deviad; I dont now | 11:50 |
| Pizbit | sihen: You made home/sihen/.xmms/Skins/ as root didn't you? | 11:50 |
| ghent | btw, i don't know if there is any ubuntu dev here, but that's the first distribution that made me quit debian (for workstations only) | 11:50 |
| Deviad | djp, well, I haven't got a bachelor in English but as it says a database, slocate.db, is missing. | 11:50 |
| sihen | Pizbit, can it be fixed? | 11:50 |
| nis | djp: how long the system been installed there? | 11:50 |
| Pizbit | sihen: Easiest thing to do is become root, delete the directory and make it again as your normal user | 11:51 |
| djp | Deviad: what id the slocate.db? | 11:51 |
| Tugg | ghent, ubuntu is still very much debian at heart | 11:51 |
| CoRzA | nis, you still there? | 11:51 |
| djp | nis: since yesterday | 11:51 |
| nis | CoRzA: yes | 11:51 |
| nis | djp: don't worry about it. | 11:51 |
| nis | djp: worry about it in a week. | 11:51 |
| Tugg | most of the ubuntu devs work on Debian | 11:51 |
| eyequeue | djp: if it runs 24/7, it will be there in under 24 hours | 11:51 |

| Pizbit | It's weekly not daily? Dang | 11:51 |
| CoRzA | nis, it has a maximum of 120hz so i'll be sorta fine | 11:52 |

| Tugg | why remove gnome? | 12:14 |
| Nermal | samatman: nope | 12:14 |
| Pizbit | samatman: Nope, and why would you need to compile ncurses anyway? | 12:14 |
| Tugg | (you could just install Kubuntu) | 12:14 |
| hayden | because i have kde | 12:14 |
| eyequeue | samatman: no, but you may want to sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev | 12:14 |

| hayden | or, i could install kubuntu-desktop | 12:15 |
| CoRzA | nermal, settlee dude | 12:15 |
| samatman | for my *other* wireless device, it worked last time. once it finised it created some sort of config file in the linux source dir, which this other dirver (not hte one i was working on before) needed to compile properly | 12:15 |

| nis | samatman: kernel headers very good for compiling modules. there's something else wanted, but it could be optional. A way to compile against a kernel source without having the entire kernel source tree and doing a 'make dep' -- an alternate to doing that. | 12:49 |

| nis | samatman: is the module in /lib/modules/foo yet? | 01:17 |
| samatman | foo being my kernel version? | 01:17 |
| nis | samatman: I think it goes into /lib/modules/<foo>/misc/ or similar if it wasn't built by the 'make menuconfig' procedure. | 01:18 |
| samatman | what is foo? | 01:18 |
| nis | samatman: yes matches kernel revision. that's how you get to have multiple kernel revisions on one system. that's where it diifferentiates the modules. | 01:18 |
| samatman | i don't know what that should be on this system | 01:19 |
| samatman | ok | 01:19 |
| samatman | and i'm looking for what file? | 01:19 |

| St0n3-C0l | you'll have to get Gstreamer plugins or install totem-xine (just as Seveas said) | 02:03 |

| Quinn_Storm | kain: gst-register | 02:08 |
| Vjaz | If esd is on, alsa and oss are reserved by esd, so you can't use them if you don't kill esd, I think. | 02:08 |

| nis | psth: rsync but it's low level and slow (not best, but 'a' way). | 02:32 |
| thefish | psth, even ;) | 02:32 |
| black_Nightmare | ok I finally found the main program for the winsecure thinge and moved it to a temp folder then rebooted.. | 02:32 |
| black_Nightmare | now I have full access to desktop :p | 02:32 |
| nis | thefish: slow over ssh I meant ;) | 02:32 |
| maddler | psth: tar+scp (maybe using certificates) | 02:32 |
| maddler | psth: using a cronjob | 02:32 |
| vivek | ty kent...but is there ne way ican see web cam on linux??? | 02:32 |

| black_Nightmare | and nis -- the display is set to 1024x800 and it actually doesn't seem to have any problem showing that on this large tv at all ... except the 10pt standard fonts are a tad hard to read unless you're not too far from the tv | 02:32 |
| black_Nightmare | nis..no thanks lol | 02:33 |
| vivek | i have ubuntu,ofcourse.. | 02:33 |
| psth | maddler, would a cronjob using rsync be possible? | 02:33 |
| black_Nightmare | so I think ubuntu would also be able to show on the tv as well? | 02:33 |
| psth | i was goinna use ifolder. or is that for a completely different thing? | 02:33 |
| nis | black_Nightmare: I can't read the EGA fonts at all! but I know what they say. | 02:33 |
| kent | vivek, gnome netmeating can do it, and it can talk to windows computers (they have to start netmeating in windows) | 02:33 |
| black_Nightmare | nis..lol ~ well seriously this tv displays 1024x800 fine | 02:33 |

| airox | compiling cedega ? | 04:42 |
| black_Nightmare | ubuntu has less overhead than windows for the same basic tasks? (internet/etc) | 04:42 |

| blackmoon | lamount: yes, the version is 2.1.5-9ubuntu3 | 05:13 |

| === Eomys [~Hiro@d213-103-76-110.cust.tele2.fr] has left #ubuntu [] | ||

| trumpetmic | mjr: interesting... does captive come with the hoary live CD? | 05:13 |
| lamont | blackmoon: ok and how recently was the last time you upgraded? | 05:14 |
| lamont | that is, are you coming from warty, or from fairly recent hoary? | 05:14 |
| mjr | trumpetmic, don't know; search with synaptic. If not, search with google | 05:14 |
| trumpetmic | mjr: i want to replace the contents of my system32 folder with the contents of my friends system32 folder... maybe instead of over-writing, I could delete mine and copy hers? | 05:14 |

| keizer | I like being able to use root. | 05:42 |

| mdz | dross: it's extremely unlikely to be anything but a hardware problem | 07:05 |

| Noesis | sudo -s ok, i am root, but why cant i log in directly as root? | 07:05 |
| akk | hans: They're in the synaptic dialog for "add sources" or something like that: contributed and non-free packages, iirc. | 07:05 |
| lamont | hans: universe == rest of debian main, multiverse == non-free | 07:05 |

| hans | Kamion: thanks, that's clear now. is that documented somewhere that I just missed? | 07:07 |
| zooko | One important reason that I need TLS is that my ISP blocks incoming 25... | 07:07 |
| Kamion | hans: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/components | 07:08 |

| orion2012 | Very noob question: I remember reading that ubuntu packages were not compatible with debian packages, so why then does marillat's repos work which seem to be debian specific. What am I not getting? | 09:56 |
| Kamion | gro: there is mplayer-amd64 | 09:56 |
| caffinated | Kamion: strange. the only version i have in the hoary repos is the one i put in. | 09:56 |
| Kamion | mplayer-386 | 1:1.0-pre6-0.3ubuntu6 | hoary/multiverse | i386 | 09:57 |
| Kamion | definitely there, perhaps you didn't switch on multiverse | 09:57 |
| zooko | orion2012: sometimes deb packages can work on ubuntu or vice versa. sometimes not, and trying can lead to bad tangles. | 09:57 |

| alitoch | mdke> i'm not against help | 11:47 |
| lukemal | Kamion: your nick name sounds Polish :-) | 11:47 |
| stephen_ | it may be because there is a firefox 0.92 or something to | 11:47 |
| alitoch | I tried to help him and helped three persons since I came | 11:47 |
| stephen_ | maybei should uninstall that? | 11:47 |
| mdke | stephen_, you have two versions installed? | 11:47 |

| alitoch | welcome lukemal | 11:48 |
| stephen_ | ya because i couldn't install | 11:48 |
| stephen_ | no | 11:48 |
| stephen_ | i couldn't update | 11:48 |
| mdke | alitoch, this is not a channel which redirects people to manuals or google | 11:48 |
| alitoch | There is KUbuntu for people who like KDE :) | 11:48 |
| stephen_ | there is the defualt 1 that came with | 11:48 |

| stephen_ | and i have the DOWNLOADED one | 11:48 |
| mdke | stephen_, you should just have the native ubuntu firefox package | 11:48 |
| alitoch | mdke> you don't understand what I mean maybe | 11:48 |
| stephen_ | mdke but that's old as sh*T | 11:49 |
| stephen_ | isn't it dangerous? | 11:49 |
| alitoch | i don't talk about redirecting automatically people ! | 11:49 |
| mdke | stephen_, no | 11:49 |
| HappyPills | yes, this is the happy channel for people to throw questions randomly into the fray =P | 11:49 |
| apokryphos | mdke: I don't think you're wrong, but some prelimenary attempts at research shouldn't be a lot to ask for before entering a channel. | 11:49 |
| stephen_ | ok | 11:49 |
| === black_Nightmare needs to figure a good mointor (or see about hooking this kvm able up to family's system) and at LEAST finally get a good try at installing and using ubuntu :p | ||
| stephen_ | where is the defualt locateD? | 11:49 |
| alitoch | I say he asks us questions about everything that comes to his brain, he floods! | 11:49 |
| mdke | apokryphos, ubuntu is a distro which encourages new users to linux, we should encourage that | 11:49 |
| alitoch | you have problems installing Ubu black_Nightmare ? | 11:49 |
| mdke | alitoch, yes so we tell him, and then he can learn not to do it again | 11:49 |
| black_Nightmare | alitoch...seem it doesn't even like tv/out-only output | 11:49 |
| black_Nightmare | so I'm going to have to figure using a mointor to go through the installion windows | 11:50 |
| apokryphos | mdke: Once again, full agreement. But I'm more for the case of "helping them help themselves" rather than just "do their work for them". | 11:50 |
| black_Nightmare | :| | 11:50 |
| stephen_ | mdke where is defualt 1 located | 11:50 |
| alitoch | whatever, mdke | 11:50 |

| mdke | stephen_, i don't know I'm afraid | 11:50 |
| sippeter1 | So yeah, I got some Zyklon B left over from last time that you can use for them... | 11:50 |
| mdke | stephen_, basically the problem is probably caused by two programs trying to use the same configuration in your /home directory | 11:50 |
| alitoch | black_Nightmare> unfortunately they are different drivers and methods to install for each device | 11:50 |
| sippeter1 | Whoops, wrong window. | 11:50 |
| Nula | how do I make make the DMA = on to stay permanent with my dvd drive using hdparm??? | 11:50 |
| kdp | aaaaaahhhhhhhhh i dont know nething about IRC! who is the developer for the menueditor? | 11:50 |
| alitoch | under Linux, I mean | 11:50 |
| stephen_ | ok | 11:50 |
| mdke | Nula, edit /etc/hdparm.conf, instructions are in the file | 11:51 |
| stephen_ | i uninstall the old 1 or the dled 1 | 11:51 |
| black_Nightmare | alitoch..yeah true..likewise I'll have to figure hooking my system up to the mointor [which is for family's cpu too] to try run the installion process | 11:51 |
| black_Nightmare | understood? ;) | 11:51 |
| mdke | stephen_, the downloaded one | 11:51 |
| Nula | mdke, thanks | 11:51 |
| stephen_ | ok | 11:51 |
| mdke | np | 11:51 |
| alitoch | maybe could you do a google search with Ubuntu and the name of your TV-Output Device ? | 11:51 |
| stephen_ | and where is the original? | 11:51 |
| stephen_ | i changed the shortcuts | 11:51 |
| stephen_ | lol | 11:51 |
| black_Nightmare | who the HECK is sippeter? | 11:51 |
| mdke | stephen_, i don't follow you i'm afraid | 11:51 |
| stephen_ | what? | 11:51 |
| alitoch | I understand you have problems with your screen under Ubuntu black_Nightmare | 11:51 |

| black_Nightmare | " sippeter1!*@* added to ignore list." har | 11:52 |
| stephen_ | do u know where the original 1 is? | 11:52 |
| sippeter1 | Tee hee... What a commotion. | 11:52 |

| stephen_ | because i changed like the panel shortcuts to the downloaded 1 | 11:52 |
| mdke | someone ban sippeter1 | 11:52 |

| black_Nightmare | mdke..you mean a ban+kick | 11:52 |
| mdke | i do | 11:52 |
| black_Nightmare | ;) | 11:52 |
| stephen_ | bann the poor guy isn't nice | 11:53 |
| sippeter1 | Like I said, what a commotion... | 11:53 |
| alitoch | black_Nightmare> If you have some problems with your monitor while using Ubuntu, you should try the Hoary Release, I think it has fixed the screen bugs | 11:53 |
| alitoch | with some kinda configs | 11:53 |
| mdke | stephen_, what do you need to know about the original version? If you uninstall the downloaded one, just "firefox" will start the old version of the program | 11:53 |

| Grock | hi, quick question about something that seems possible to me, namely compiling source code in a way that I can do final install step with dpkg -i foo.deb, purpose being keeping track of file with synaptic, I'm hoping that there's something similar to make-kpkg kernel_image. Anyone know how to do it? | 11:53 |
| === DanTheTekMan is now known as Hackmo | ||
| Rebroad | #kubuntu seems very quiet | 11:54 |
| black_Nightmare | alitoch...actually.. I think that this mointor should work fine for ubuntu -- I'll just have to figure shutting it down and slip the kvm cables in place then put my system on the 'pc 2' end of cables and try it from there | 11:54 |
| apokryphos | Rebroad: It has its moments... seems to be just people passing through at the mo. | 11:54 |
| black_Nightmare | then maybe..either leave it there for now or try configure it to boot to tv/out by default [after installing the whole distro of course] | 11:54 |

| HappyPills | oh wel | 11:55 |
| Rebroad | for some reason my vmware is contantly needing to be vmware-config.pl'ed | 11:55 |
| mdke | black_Nightmare, 6 april i think | 11:55 |
| mdke | HappyPills, lol | 11:55 |
| wdh | what would be the best way to remove kubuntu from a basic ubuntu-system?? i installed the meta-package 'kubuntu-desktop', but just uninstalling that seems useless.. any ideas?? | 11:55 |
| stephen_ | Where is the defualt firefox location? | 11:55 |
| unkwn | I have a VIDEO_TS folder, i want to burn it to dvd and have it play on my standalone player, how do i do that in ubuntu? | 11:55 |
| alitoch | Hoary Preview Release is already out, black_Nightmare | 11:56 |
| alitoch | :) | 11:56 |
| mt2 | Hello, I'm trying to enable DRI support for an older ATI Mach64 based card (3D Rage Pro) and it's simply just not working for me. I've installed the latest drivers from the dri project and everything I try just doesn't work. Does anyone have an ideas or interesting things to read? | 11:56 |
| stephen_ | Where is the defualt firefox location? | 11:56 |
| mdke | stephen_, i said, "firefox" is the command | 11:56 |
| apokryphos | kdp: to have your IRC nickname registered... so it's "yours". | 11:56 |
| alitoch | You can download it, burn it, install it, just like I did | 11:56 |
| stephen_ | Ok! | 11:56 |
| stephen_ | thank U | 11:56 |
| Rebroad | oooh. the Mach64.. i remember those... | 11:56 |
| stephen_ | time to kill the downloaded 1 | 11:56 |
| alitoch | Concerning the stable release, I dunno... apokryphos, do you know when the Stable release is going to be out please ? | 11:56 |
| stephen_ | thank u mdke | 11:56 |
| mdke | stephen_, ok seriously, you can either learn not to repeat the question within quick intervals, or you will get no responses and probably banned | 11:56 |
| apokryphos | wdh: well, it is a metapackage. It works by depending on others, not vice versa. See man debfoster. | 11:56 |
| apokryphos | alitoch: April 6th | 11:56 |
| HappyPills | Has anyone succesfully compiled the ndismonitor program? | 11:56 |
| black_Nightmare | alitoch..lol I thought you meant the actual release.... | 11:56 |
| alitoch | thanks :) | 11:56 |
| alitoch | it's excellent | 11:57 |
| black_Nightmare | I do have the hoary preview cdr here already anyhow :p | 11:57 |
| unkwn | anyone have dvd authoring experience in ubuntu? | 11:57 |
| HappyPills | It's even harder to do than ndiswrapper =P | 11:57 |

| alitoch | a Preview is done to be... previewed :p | 11:57 |
| stephen_ | it locked | 11:57 |
| stephen_ | how i move it | 11:57 |
| black_Nightmare | alitoch - I yet have to install mine LOL | 11:58 |
| alitoch | But I just have to wait two weeks and I'll be able to use the stable one :) | 11:58 |
| === alitoch is happy | ||
| black_Nightmare | april 6 seem a tad too far away | 11:58 |
| sippeter1 | http://goat.se | 11:58 |
| alitoch | yes, you must do so :p | 11:58 |
| mdke | stephen_, you have to phrase your questions more fully | 11:58 |
| mt2 | I mean, at this point, I'm not even sure if the card is loading properly. lsmod returns something semi-good, but it doesn't match the results the tutorials in the forums mentioned | 11:58 |
| black_Nightmare | can hoary preview be upgraded to hoary or I'll have to reinstall it? | 11:58 |
| stephen_ | i can't delete the firefox folder | 11:58 |
| alitoch | It will be very easier and faster for you to install all the packages u need for restricted things | 11:58 |
| mt2 | black_Nightmare, it can be upgraded | 11:58 |
| stephen_ | lock picture is on the folder | 11:58 |
| apokryphos | black_Nightmare: you can upgrade very easily. Two commands. | 11:58 |
| mdke | stephen_, you need root permissions | 11:58 |
| alitoch | Like reading Mp3 and Videos for example | 11:58 |

| acs | hello | 11:58 |
| mdke | stephen_, i'm scared that if I tell you you will delete something important | 11:59 |
| sippeter1 | Any admins here? | 11:59 |
| stephen_ | no i wont | 11:59 |
| stephen_ | i just deleting the firefox folder | 11:59 |
| stephen_ | i dont want to delete important | 11:59 |
| stephen_ | thing | 11:59 |
| black_Nightmare | hm ty so I could try different stuffs and do apt-get then when the stable release is out I'll upgrade to it | 11:59 |
| black_Nightmare | right? | 11:59 |
| stephen_ | i swear | 11:59 |
| sippeter1 | I mean, any ops here? | 11:59 |
| mdke | stephen_, tell me which folder | 11:59 |
| stephen_ | firefox | 11:59 |
| alitoch | black_Nightmare> with the Warty release, I had something very strange... I made an apt-get dist-upgrade after having changed my sources.list to Hoary repositories, but it didn't give me the same result as a HD installation from the Hoary CD.... | 11:59 |
| Rebroad | I know a cool way to accidentally delete stuff. do a "tar cf -|tar xf -" | 11:59 |
| apokryphos | sippeter1: what is the problem | 11:59 |
| alitoch | So I think you have to install it if you wanna be "completely" under Hoary | 11:59 |
| acs | I am still new to this linux thing so can anyone tell me how I can upgrade firefox from it's current version which is 0.9.3 to the new version 1.0.1 | 12:00 |
