| kakalto | what's an alternative archive manager? | 12:00 |
| dabugas | hi | 12:00 |
| DavidSag | i didnt try applying this command :-().. ( as i said i'm a poor linux novice, sorry) | 12:00 |
| Sionide | hrm | 12:00 |
| akk | s | 12:00 |
| Seveas | kakalto, apt-get, aptitude, synaptic | 12:00 |
| dabugas | Xappe: bullshit. | 12:00 |
| Sionide | okie, how do i increase the filesystem size for ubuntu? | 12:00 |
| tritium | ells, try lspci -vv, and look for your video card info | 12:01 |
| Seveas | DavidSag, then open a terminal and type ifconfig eth0 :) | 12:01 |
| beaniebaby | oris_wolfbane, | 12:01 |
| Seveas | it's just a diagnostic command | 12:01 |
| ells | tritium: cool, thanks | 12:01 |
| smurfix | DavidSag: and/or type "ifconfig -a" and tell us if "eth0" shows up there | 12:01 |
| Xappe | dabugas: no luck? | 12:01 |
| kakalto | Seveas, I mean like *.rar, zip, tar, etc. | 12:01 |
| tritium | ells, that'll be some really verbose information. Hopefully it'll include your video memory info | 12:01 |
| Seveas | kakalto, o sorry :) | 12:01 |
| dabugas | Xappe: no luck at all :( | 12:01 |
| Sionide | i partioned the drive, to have one for win and one for unbuntu, but i decided against installing windows, i got rid of the partition but the filesystem is still half the size of the disk, anyone know?? | 12:01 |
| black_nightmare | kakalto..I know that tar's already can be handled in terminal | 12:01 |
| Seveas | for zip: unzip | 12:01 |
| kakalto | s' alright | 12:01 |
| DavidSag | i tried the GUI device managed, and i added an ethernet card, but it didnt allow me to active it | 12:01 |
| Seveas | for tar: tar | 12:01 |
| smurfix | Sionide: | 12:02 |
| kakalto | preferably visual | 12:02 |
| Seveas | for rar: apt-get install unrar-nonfree | 12:02 |

| kakalto | Seveas, file-roller comes with ubuntu, and it crashes when opening an archive with a CSS file in it | 12:02 |
| Seveas | kakalto, that's odd | 12:02 |
| Sionide | reason is, i cant install any updates because i've filled up the ubuntu partition, oops! | 12:03 |
| Xappe | dabugas, it should show things mounted in /media | 12:03 |
| Seveas | can you e-mail me that file for testing | 12:03 |
| kakalto | Seveas, it seems to be a gnome problem | 12:03 |
| DavidSag | ok, gr8 i'll get back to you, thankx !! | 12:03 |

| smurfix | Sionide: How big are the partitions? | 12:03 |

| Seveas | funky, apt-key will store the key for you | 12:30 |
| Seveas | but make sure you use the latter version of my command :) | 12:30 |
| funky | then, why i need to add the /proc/self/fd/0 ? | 12:30 |

| mjt | Zedtech: no need to restart X if it's configured properly | 02:38 |
| desrt | lunitik; i mean, in terms of human resources | 02:38 |
| lunitik | desrt: but I really don't want to get into a discussion about that... | 02:38 |
| mjt | Zedtech: "properly" -- ie, it's using /dev/input/mice | 02:38 |
| Brunellus | lunitik: gnome is nice. kde is nice. flux is fast. :-) | 02:38 |
| eyequeue | Brunellus: because you don't want to run stable, you want to test and report bugs in the next release to help it be better? | 02:38 |
| desrt | lunitik; coders, etc | 02:38 |
| Zedtech | mjt: well, you fixed my problem. The whole modprobe psmouse proto=bare fixed it | 02:39 |
| Brunellus | eyequeue: ha. so I gather hoary isn't as solid as warty has been? | 02:39 |
| lunitik | desrt: why? who's to say those people would be working on GNOME if KDE wasn't around? likely they wouldn't... else they'd be involved in GNOME already. | 02:39 |
| eyequeue | Brunellus: it will not be until 6 april | 02:39 |
| Brunellus | I still haven't apt upgraded | 02:39 |
| Zedtech | mjt: the mouse was moving too fast, and was clicking automatic. Basically if I moved the mouse it would drag/click things and just totally go nuts (too fast/constant clicking when I moved it [and I wasnt clicking] ) | 02:39 |
| Brunellus | so I've got like 85 possible upgrades marked | 02:39 |
| Zedtech | I'd end up with 60 or 70 appliactions running just from letting the mouse scroll across the screen once | 02:39 |
| lunitik | desrt: anything that can be utilized by both is colaborated on via fd.o | 02:39 |
| desrt | lunitik; everyone has their own opinions. i mostly said that tongue in cheek. | 02:40 |
| mjt | Zedtech: i guess you'd better file a bugreport - to ubuntu or kernel - about your exact configuration. The driver isn't detecting your mouse correctly | 02:40 |
| eyequeue | Brunellus: at that point, the only cages are security changes, up until then anything can break majorly each day | 02:40 |
| mjt | Zedtech: but before that, try real ps2 mouse without all that switches/converters crap | 02:40 |
| Brunellus | OK. I can't afford major breakage...this is my only computer. | 02:40 |
| Zedtech | mjt: Eh, I think it could be the setup. Its a USB mouse with a PS/2 converter, hooked to a PS/2 based KVM Switch, which then runs from the KVM Switch to the PC. | 02:40 |
| eyequeue | Zedtech: btw, are you on warty or hoary? | 02:40 |
| Zedtech | mjt: but hell, it works now. | 02:40 |
| Zedtech | mjt: warty | 02:40 |
| mjt | Zedtech: does not matter which distro really | 02:40 |
| apokryphos | Brunellus: Warty is a good distro, but very dated with regard to apps. | 02:40 |
| Brunellus | eyequeue: if I apt upgrade-dist using the warty repos | 02:40 |
| Brunellus | will I break ndiswrapper? | 02:41 |
| Brunellus | (I built it from source) | 02:41 |
| lunitik | desrt: you should think about such comments... hackers do what they love... they could give a damn what is more popular... in KDE, the devels have more freedom to do what they want... the primary reason many are involved in it... that and Qt being accepted as easier to work with (if you know C++) | 02:41 |
| Artanis | hm my laptop display doesnt do real fullscreen in some games like ur-quan masters or when using mplayer fullscreen mode. instead of resizing the content it just fills the rest of the screen with black | 02:41 |
| mjr | Artanis, that can usually be configured from the laptop BIOS | 02:41 |
| desrt | lunitik; i think it's probably a good idea to not talk about this :) | 02:41 |
| catrlr | ok... i ordered 20 Ubuntu CDs almost 2 months ago, and they have not shown up yet | 02:42 |

| Brunellus | the last time I apt upgrade-dist, ndiswrapper broke, and I couldn't work out why | 02:44 |
| lunitik | kentsusai: add 'multiverse' to any of the lines stating 'archive.ubuntu.com' | 02:44 |

| Roey | mjt: I will BRB. Rebooting now into the correct ubuntu kernel. | 03:00 |
| eyequeue | Brunellus: what is the exact name of the "critical" package you want to be careful about? "ndiswrapper"? | 03:01 |
| mjt | Zedtech: ntfs support is in kernel. dunno if ubuntu kernel turns that option on, you can see that in modules dir (ntfs.ko or something) | 03:01 |
| Brunellus | yes. it's not a package. | 03:01 |
| Brunellus | well | 03:01 |
| Zedtech | mjt, it has it but I cant seem to locate "hdd" on my machine. | 03:01 |
| Brunellus | I built it from the source. I didn't use a .deb | 03:01 |
| Brunellus | therefore, apt doesn't touch/know about it. | 03:01 |

| Uscfan | there you are | 03:02 |
| Brunellus | lunitik: no. I had NO net access | 03:02 |
| eyequeue | Brunellus: i'm going to recommend "sudo apt-get install dpkg-repack" and then you can run that to make a "safe" copy of that in your /root directoryt, that you can re-install IF somehow you manage to lose net connectivity (and i'll tell you how to do both) | 03:02 |

| BigIslandVegan | Is there some way to specify pop and imap server ports in Evolution? I don't see it | 03:03 |
| eyequeue | Brunellus: sudo dpkg-repack foo (whatever the pacakge basename) and you have foo_1.23.deb, and later you can "sudo dpkg -i foo_1.223.deb" | 03:03 |
| sabmoc | NeoCicak, on the wiki, do a search for beagle | 03:03 |

| Brunellus | from what I understand, I had to build ndiswrapper against the kernel headers | 03:06 |
| moominski | can any1 help get xmms workin?? | 03:06 |
| Brunellus | if the kernel-headers change, it breaks ndiswrapper. I know this from experience. | 03:06 |
| eyequeue | Brunellus: IF you inadvertantly manage to break it, by overwriting or whatever, do you have all of the necessary items on your box now to recreate what you did to build it in the first place? | 03:06 |

I don't know how it all works in ubuntu/debian (i use my own stuff for booting). I suggest you to go with your kernel first, as your initrd worked correctly. | 03:19 |

| eyequeue | Uscfan: are you using your user password, not a root password there? | 03:20 |
| mjt | Roey: speaking of your previous attempt with your kernel. Please look carefully what it does - whenever it assembles md0 or if there are any errors (cat /proc/mdstat to show state of your raid arrays) | 03:20 |
| Roey | lunitik: what's in -28? | 03:20 |
| Roey | lunitik: mine is -31 | 03:20 |
| Uscfan | i bleieve it is becuase of hostname, so i will either change hostname to localhost or add my curent hostname into the /etc/hosts | 03:20 |
| veristead | i tried that | 03:20 |
| calc | Roey: that is the one i am running apparently and which works at least without raid | 03:20 |

| Uscfan | eyequeue: there is no root password, one second, i will reboot into recovery | 03:21 |
| robertj | Uscfan: My guess would be that localhost is not pointing to 127.0.0.1 | 03:21 |
| robertj | Your machine should always be reachable via localhsot | 03:21 |

| Uscfan | my /etc/hosts file reads 127.0.0.1 localhost | 03:24 |

| Pizbit | Uscfan: Reboot, hit ESC when grub is mentioned and select the rescue mode | 03:25 |

| cleit0n | lunitik: br | 03:25 |

| Pizbit | Uscfan: Try adding 'single' to one of the boot lines and changing the file to read as I suggested. | 03:28 |
| mjt | Roey: that's why mdadm now have --auto=md option, to work around this -- it tells mdadm to create the node by its own | 03:28 |

| Uscfan | im asuming that grub on warty is good looking, on this <hoary> its really fugly | 03:28 |

| robertj | I'm a wireless reject, I need to learn something about it | 03:36 |
| Pizbit | Zedtech: Here's a tip then, do '/lastlog YOURNICK' every now and then | 03:36 |
| mjt | Zedtech: create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/, say, /etc/modprobe.d/local, with the single line in it: "options psmouse proto=whatever-proto-you-found-works-for-you" (w/o quotes) | 03:36 |
| Roey | crimsun: YES | 03:36 |
| Uscfan | lunitik: ok i have a router, so no need to worry about pppoe, despite the fact i dont even have it, i have DSL | 03:36 |

| lunitik | moominski: Computer > Administration > Package Management | 03:36 |

| Roey | crimsun: couldja help me with that? | 03:36 |
| Uscfan | eth0 is detected but i am assuming that is my ethernet | 03:36 |
| robertj | I figure there are 4 open ap's accessible from here and mine is locked by mac address so noone would bother to try to sniff it when they could just hop on and surf | 03:36 |
| mjt | Zedtech: also try proto=imps and proto=exps (see modinfo psmouse) | 03:37 |
| veristead | yea usually eth0 is ethernet | 03:37 |
| veristead | eth1 is wifi | 03:37 |
| Pizbit | Uscfan: So basically all it's plain ethernet between you and your router/adsl-modem and you want to set up the link between you and it? *trying to catch up here* | 03:37 |
| veristead | generally | 03:37 |
| lunitik | bah... these days... wlan0 is first wireless... eth0 is first nic... | 03:37 |
| Uscfan | pizbit: i got a wireless router, right now the ethernet cable is plugged in and i will try and get internet workin on the nic so i can dload drivers,etcc... | 03:38 |

| eruin | Wildthing: never had to do any of those things with win98 - I only upgraded when stuff started requiring xp | 03:57 |
| Roey | mjt: see I thought that it sufficed to have apt-get rebuild it when I apt-got installed kernel-image-2.6.10-5-amd64-generic | 03:57 |
| Wildthing | <shrug>, robertj , project computer haha | 03:57 |

| shawncorn | If anyone could help me it would be appreciated. I think I messed up. :/ I just got Ubuntu Hoary. I have two 120GB drives. One is old and has a ton of data on it, ext3 fs. The other is new and I want to throw them both into a RAID-1. So I was installing Hoary and I saw the partitioner that had some stuff for RAIDs. I marked the drives as RAID volumes and I think I accidentally touched the MBR on the old 120GB drive. Now I'm trying to mo | 03:58 |
| shawncorn | unt the drive and it has a corrupt superblock. So I used fdisk to change the partition type back to Linux (83) and I'm running `fsck.ext3 -y` right now and getting a lot of fixes and whatnot and I'm scared. Also, I copied the old drive to the new one via dd before I fsck'd it. So does anyone have any input on whether I did something excessively dumb and if I can get my data back painlessly? *phew* There's a mouthful... | 03:58 |
| Wildthing | to me, at least | 03:58 |

| StR34k | Pizbit, so i've been looking into the initfiles, and I was wondering where to put the hdparm command. I can't find anything like rc.local. | 04:02 |
| knathraak | Hi, wondering if anyone has experience getting lirc going? | 04:02 |
| Wildthing | it probably uses less power than the rest of our "more modern" computers | 04:02 |
| robertj | Especially here I know my computers drive up the ac bill, so I'd not touch the thing | 04:02 |
| Wildthing | lower frequency = lower power consumption | 04:02 |
| br33zy | Pizbit, iim in a terminal | 04:02 |
| br33zy | but yes | 04:02 |
| Pizbit | StR34k: Personally I cheated *g* 2secs | 04:02 |
| Wildthing | generally speaking | 04:02 |
| robertj | and I am a noise nazi | 04:02 |
| Roey | mjt: I tested by doing it myself and the initrd.img that I made and the initrd.img that apt-get generated are exactly the same. | 04:02 |
| Roey | mjt: yet I am sitll getting these errors. | 04:02 |
| Roey | mjt: pivot_root -- what the heck is it anyway? | 04:02 |

| examndirtbag | hi all, i need a little help | 04:33 |
| PacoBCN | jinxKat, our beautiful community isn't enough? :) | 04:33 |
| sabmoc | Roey, I've switched to 2.6.2 as soon as it came out and havnt looked back. | 04:33 |
| hybrid | jinxKat ubuntu is sid | 04:33 |
| Roey | sabmoc: ah | 04:33 |
| hybrid | jinxKat support is even better | 04:34 |
| Roey | sabmoc: you're in for a surprise if you haven't yet upgraded past 2.6.7, because libata took over | 04:34 |
| jinxKat | PacoBCN: no | 04:34 |
| examndirtbag | im having problems with burning cd's | 04:34 |
| black_nightmare | crimsun once (under 98se anyhow that is) it was not even picking up the usb hub for no reason at bootup...so....I was like peering at back of computer going "huhhhh???" and decidely yank the usb cable out then plug it back in and immedately windows went into 'detecting new hardwares..' dialog for a second there | 04:34 |
| hybrid | and anything deb can do so can ubuntu | 04:34 |
| black_nightmare | and it worked fine afterward...that was weird thou | 04:34 |
| crimsun | black_nightmare: otherwise I need lspnp -v information | 04:34 |
| PacoBCN | jinxKat, well, in that case let's look for other reasons | 04:34 |
| black_nightmare | and crimsun -- yes the card is a pnp one I'm sure | 04:34 |
| black_nightmare | hmmm let me try that..one second | 04:34 |
| sabmoc | Roey, no, I mean I've been running 2.6 kernels since they came out with version 2.6.2 ..so.. for a while. | 04:34 |
| jinxKat | hybrid: debian support is good enough for me | 04:34 |
| PacoBCN | jinxKat, like the commitment of having a new release every 6 months? | 04:34 |
| helio7 | hey all! bash question: if I want to copy a sequential series of files to a new dir, I'm using (cp *888* *889* *890* *891* *892 /new/path/) is there an easier way anyone can share with me? | 04:34 |
| black_nightmare | bash: lspnp: command not found | 04:35 |
| crimsun | helio7: $(seq 888 892) | 04:35 |
| black_nightmare | grrr ^ | 04:35 |
| black_nightmare | was I supposed to sudo that command or no? | 04:35 |
| sabmoc | helio7, well.. thats a lot of asterics already | 04:35 |
| jroes | hmm | 04:35 |
| sabmoc | helio7, what is the actuall file name | 04:35 |

| yoko-omo | The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. | 05:46 |
| yoko-omo | This probably reflects a bug in the program. | 05:46 |
| yoko-omo | The error was 'BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter)'. | 05:46 |

| yoko-omo | (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; | 05:46 |
| yoko-omo | that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. | 05:46 |
| yoko-omo | To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line | 05:46 |

| eclipse | projectmayhem, i have the nvidia driver installed with openGL enabled | 06:19 |
| projectmayhem | eclipse oh, then it shouldn't be a problem | 06:20 |
| projectmayhem | eclipse hoary or warty? | 06:20 |
| yoko-omo | cedega is my favorite lunix app | 06:20 |
| eclipse | hoary | 06:20 |
| projectmayhem | eclipse that could be part of it, hoary (since its unstable and all) tends to run slower | 06:20 |
| projectmayhem | yoko omo don't you have to pay for that?? | 06:20 |
| eclipse | also in kde, the desktop icon text doesn't support long filename | 06:20 |

| yoko-omo | projectmayhem: yes | 06:21 |

| Pizbit | projectmayhem: Hoary is hardly unstable this far away from the release:) | 06:21 |
| LeeJunFan | wow - even slackware dropped gnome. | 06:22 |
| projectmayhem | eclipse hm... tough to say then. i've not much experience with gnome | 06:22 |
| projectmayhem | eclipse and i've never had to refresh it | 06:22 |
| Pizbit | LeeJunFan: Woa, people pay attention to slackware? | 06:22 |
| kyouens | i'm using the hoary devel version and for the most part, it's very stable. | 06:22 |
| eclipse | alright | 06:22 |
| projectmayhem | pizbit yeah distrowatch | 06:22 |

| geneo93 | x-window-system-core has a problem it the colperate that slows everything down | 06:23 |
| kyouens | yes Pizbit....I am just bitter because my DVD drive won't work after much jacking with it | 06:23 |
| eclipse | projectmayhem, also it's fine if u just create a file or folder on the desktop and it will appear on it right away with no problems | 06:23 |
| Pizbit | kyouens: Mine worked more or less out of the box(had to get the dvd packges of course) | 06:23 |
| eclipse | anyone tried xfce? | 06:23 |
| projectmayhem | eclipse no i don't download a whole lot.... other than.. umm. totally legal stuff on limewire | 06:24 |
| Pizbit | eclipse: Yeah, it sucks, it's like gnome without the good things | 06:24 |

| kyouens | Pizbit--I am using a Dell D610 and the Hoary Devel Release (because none of the other releases, including hoary preview, recognized my cd drive at all on install) | 06:24 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | xfce is alright... its lighter | 06:24 |
| kyouens | pizbit: Everything else works great pretty much. | 06:24 |

| projectmayhem | didn't know | 06:25 |
| kyouens | I've used it for years when I was using fedora | 06:25 |

| === roo9 [roo9@72.20.3.78] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Bukkake | I tried running xfce on this 266 mhz machine.. quite frankly, it isn't so lighter than GNOME . . . I don't know why everyone says that, but I don't think it's lighter than GNOME :x | 06:27 |
| Tekmaven | desktops will always be debated ;-) | 06:27 |
| Tekmaven | its MUCH lighter then gnome Bukkake ;-) | 06:27 |
| Tekmaven | but it relies on GTK2 which isn't *that* light | 06:27 |
| randabis_ | the memory footprint of xfce is much smaller than gnome | 06:27 |
| SiRrUs | :) | 06:27 |
| Tekmaven | anyways | 06:27 |
| roo9 | hi, i just upgraded to hoary from warthog and now my NDISWrapper-based Wlan card no longer works, any ideas on what to check? | 06:28 |
| Tekmaven | i wanna set an env variable ALWAYS | 06:28 |
| Pizbit | Tekmaven: Well, most of the people enable gnome/kde services as well... | 06:28 |
| mhz | fluxbox is lighter, a lot! | 06:28 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | hehe | 06:28 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | i concur | 06:28 |
| Bukkake | Didn't seem that lighter to me . . . FluxBox seemed definately seemed to be the lightest . . . but I stuck with GNOME 'cuz I had some problems with Fluxbox (probably installed it incorrectly, I'm a nub, so I didn't bother do too much) | 06:28 |
| Tekmaven | export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64:/usr/local/lib | 06:28 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | but now it sounds DE war like :P | 06:28 |
| Tekmaven | how can i set that to always? | 06:28 |
| randabis_ | roo9, it doesn't work because when you upgrade to hoary, you also upgrade the kernel...you'll need to reinstall your ndiswrapper drivers | 06:28 |
| Tekmaven | is that .bashrc? | 06:29 |
| randabis_ | sure fluxbox is lighter...all it is is a window manager | 06:29 |
| randabis_ | gnome, kde, and xfce are full blown desktop environments | 06:29 |
| Bukkake | well said :D | 06:29 |
| Bukkake | randabis_, you use xfce on your laptop and gnome on your desktop, which I think you're using now? | 06:30 |
| Tekmaven | randabis_: i disagree | 06:30 |
| Tekmaven | i dont think xfce is really a full desktop environment yet | 06:30 |
| Tekmaven | it doesnt even have a desktop :-P | 06:30 |
| roo9 | randabis_: i thought it might have upgraded the kernel, but i only have one version present in /lib/modules, so are you sure the kernel is upgraded? what version does hoary upgrade to? | 06:31 |
| randabis_ | Bukkake, I'm using kde on my desktop now actually | 06:31 |

| projectmayhem | hehe peace all | 06:31 |
| Bukkake | randabis_, recently changed? | 06:31 |
| Tekmaven | i used to love KDE | 06:31 |
| Tekmaven | but since I've installed Ubuntu, i'm a Gnome convert | 06:31 |
| randabis_ | Tekmaven, it's more of a desktop environment than fluxbox ever will be | 06:31 |
| Tekmaven | gnome is so much more ellegant | 06:31 |
| eclipse | also does gnome have a feature like windows when some IM you the taskbar window flashes? | 06:31 |
| randabis_ | Bukkake, yes, kde 3.4 converted me...it's awesome | 06:31 |
| Bukkake | randabis_: You're making me think on changing too . . . :o | 06:32 |
| sysrq | fluxbox isn't a DE it's only a WM, however you can use it instead of metacity in gnome | 06:32 |
| Tekmaven | Gnome 2.10 = nice | 06:32 |

| randabis_ | took that yesterday | 06:32 |
| Bukkake | But me being the nub, let's go deeper in this, what is in a desktop (kde, gnome) that a window manager isn't(fluxbox)? | 06:33 |
| Dreamer3 | Tekmaven: nicer than 2.8? | 06:33 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | uhhh.. some apps require kde/gnome-base | 06:34 |
| randabis_ | Bukkake, programs like kde control center, the network setup gui tools, etc...the suite of programs that comes with a desktop environment is what distinguishes it from a window manager | 06:34 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | while fluxbox is just a shell | 06:34 |
| roo9 | randabis_: it seems, or so dpkg -S tells me, that the NDISWrapper kernel module comes with linux-image-2.6.8.1... so... | 06:34 |
| randabis_ | roo9, hoary uses 2.6.10 | 06:34 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | randabis_: what sf series is that? | 06:34 |
| randabis_ | ^thehatsrule^, I don't know | 06:35 |

| Tekmaven | randabis_: you know whats funny | 06:35 |
| Roey | Bukkake: consistent printing architecture | 06:35 |
| Tekmaven | gaim is a gnome package :-P | 06:36 |
| Roey | Tekmaven: gnome people like to claim gtk apps as their own | 06:36 |
| Roey | Tekmaven: gaim, gimp, firefox, xchat.. | 06:36 |
| Tekmaven | gaim is verymuch so deved with gnome in mind | 06:36 |
| Tekmaven | ;-) | 06:36 |
| Roey | Tekmaven: (abiword) | 06:36 |

| calc | just like some people might say konversation is part of kde (wasn't last i checked anyway) | 06:39 |
| Bukkake | mm, I always thought mozilla suite to be a lot heavier and slower than firefox | 06:40 |
| calc | or k3b | 06:40 |
| zelas_metallium | specifically, under gnome | 06:40 |
| Roey | calc: er.. so epiphany is still gnome's own browser? | 06:40 |
| Pizbit | Abiword is part of the gnome-office package | 06:40 |
| calc | Roey: yes | 06:40 |
| Roey | calc: gnome-enabled xchat? gnome-enabled gaim? | 06:40 |
| Roey | ha, ha ha. | 06:40 |
| calc | Roey: last i read (a few months ago) they are intending to fix the issues with it so it can replace ff | 06:41 |
| Roey | ff? | 06:41 |
| Pizbit | Firefox | 06:41 |
| calc | Roey: there is work on writing a hig compliant IM to replace gaim as well | 06:41 |
| calc | not sure about xchat | 06:41 |
| Roey | calc: I see a lot of potential in a GTK desktop ;) | 06:42 |
| calc | from what i have read gaim is definitely not considered a gnome project in that they won't even accept integration work for other gnome things | 06:42 |
| Roey | calc: abiword, gimp, gaim, xchat | 06:42 |
| randabis | Bukkake, on windows machines that seems to be true for me, but I don't know what it is about linux firefox builds...they are always slower for me than mozilla suite | 06:42 |
| calc | Roey: why not oo.o 2.0 | 06:42 |
| Bukkake | I've only used it on windows . . . mmhmm, I'll be sure to try it then | 06:42 |
| Roey | calc: my point is this: it seems to me that the GNOME zealots are eagerly claiming ownership of things which are not technically under the GNOME umbrella | 06:43 |
| Pizbit | calc: There's the gnome-office setup, abiword, die, gimp, gnumeric, planner and inkscape | sodipodi | 06:43 |
| Roey | calc: that's like saying qt designer is part of kde. | 06:43 |
| Roey | Pizbit: gnumeric I can understand being a gnome app; it was likethat from the start | 06:43 |
| calc | Roey: well in your gtk desktop oo.o would be better than abiword | 06:43 |
| Roey | Pizbit: but gimp, abiword and inkscape are relatively independent GTK projects. | 06:44 |
| Roey | calc: ah :) | 06:44 |
| geneo93 | calc: to much bloat | 06:44 |
| Roey | calc: see, KDE has all these things written /for/ kde from the start. | 06:44 |
| Roey | but that's no important | 06:44 |
| calc | to be part of gnome you 1. have to want to be 2. be hig compliant and etc | 06:44 |
| geneo93 | koffice | 06:44 |
| Roey | important thing for gnome is to see development of more *native* gnome apps | 06:44 |
| calc | kde has no ui standardization | 06:44 |
| Roey | calc: does it need one? | 06:45 |
| calc | so anything written for qt/kdelibs is considered part of kde more or less | 06:45 |

| Bukkake | randabis: Are you an OP? :) | 06:49 |
| dex1 | I have a compatibility question | 06:49 |

| randabis | No...I am just a lowly user | 06:49 |

| e_machinist | Pizbit: True... but hope is hope. | 06:50 |
| calc | zelas_metallium: i don't think so, i tried looking for that a while back | 06:50 |
| zelas_metallium | calc, ok, thanks. | 06:50 |
| regeya | e_machinist: never. gnome is aimed at the "average user" and kde is aimed at users. ;-) gnome is better for grandma and people who desire a simple interface, and kde is for weirdos like me. ;-) | 06:50 |
| Vjaz | Pizbit: Never say never! | 06:50 |
| e_machinist | Bukkake, they both basically provide the same functionality. KDE is somewhat more similar to the standard Windows GUI... Gnome is slightly different in its current state. | 06:50 |

| === Dr_Willis [~willis@12-202-192-44.client.insightBB.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| randabis | Bukkake, best way is to just try both for a while and decide what you like best (xfce is also a good choice too)...For the most part you can mix and match gtk and qt apps without harm anyway | 06:51 |
| geneo93 | Bukkake: simple get both and decide for yourseelf | 06:51 |
| Pizbit | Vjaz: I just need to point out vi[m] /emacs :D | 06:51 |
| e_machinist | Meh... KDE is simple as well. | 06:51 |
| calc | gnome is more leaning towards macos classic | 06:51 |
| Pizbit | e_machinist: It is?:) Ever tried going through all of kcontrol making sure everything was tweaked?:) It takes a *really* long time. | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | its fun to try them all out. :P | 06:52 |
| e_machinist | Either way you are in for a full featured desktop. | 06:52 |
| randabis | I don't really find KDE's UI similar to Windows | 06:52 |
| Vjaz | Pizbit: those editors differ more from each other conceptually than GNOME and KDE | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | randabis, me either.. its much better. | 06:52 |
| calc | randabis: think winxp luna gone horribly awry ;) | 06:52 |
| Pizbit | Vjaz: That's irrelevent | 06:52 |
| Vjaz | Pizbit: First of all, Emacs is an operating system. :-P | 06:52 |
| randabis | luna = fisher price OS | 06:52 |
| e_machinist | Pizbit, I have spent quite some time doing things in KDE as well as gnome. | 06:52 |
| Dreamer3_ | ok, are there other tiny distros, or DSL is about the best? (sorry if anyone replied before i missed it) maybe something based off xfce? | 06:52 |
| e_machinist | I don't prefer one over the other. | 06:52 |
| dex1 | I had a horrendous experience with trying to install Ubuntu on an older machine the last few days; despite some assistance from crimsun via here it came to nothing and just wouldn't work on that PC. So.... I instead I tried something on this new Win XP PC. Dual-boot was out due to risk of losing stuff so installed VMWare 4.5. I then installed fedora core 3 over it (only other distro from cover CD I had) and it didn't get past post-install reboot really. Que | 06:52 |
| Vjaz | Luna is quite ugly. Silver is ok though. | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | I sort of like WindowMaker. | 06:52 |
| calc | kde keramik + crystal icons == fisher price as well | 06:52 |
| regeya | really, it takes a long time to change settings in kcontrol? | 06:52 |
| e_machinist | KDE could use some polish though. | 06:52 |
| regeya | I forgot to get the memo. ;-) | 06:53 |
| Vjaz | Pizbit: I don't think it's irrelevant. | 06:53 |
| Bukkake | gnome seems to be a bit more of a eye candy than KDE (but after viewing randabis' ss, KDE looks kinda more pleasent that I had previously thought) simply that I had heard some more helpful compiling and programming tools come with KDE | 06:53 |
| === Pizbit reckons kde needs a *lot* of polish, it's far too cluttered. | ||
| regeya | Dr_Willis: with modern drag-and-drop support I'd be using windowmaker right now | 06:53 |
| Dreamer3_ | Pizbit: you using gnome 2.10? is it better than 2.8? | 06:53 |
| Dr_Willis | regeya, to be honest.. i rarely if EVER use any drag/drop stuff | 06:54 |
| e_machinist | Pizbit, I agree. KDE is definitely the Kluttered Desktop Environment. :) | 06:54 |
| randabis | KDE actually has more eye candy effects I believe | 06:54 |
| regeya | I didn't until I got a job using Macs. ;-) | 06:54 |
| Dr_Willis | regeya, actually with fluxbox/blackbox - i think they can sort of do that. :P | 06:54 |
| Pizbit | Vjaz: It's entirely irrevelent, I was pointing out that bewteen two warring fractions there wont be a totally dominant outcome for either | 06:54 |
| dex1 | What the heck, I'll try it. | 06:54 |

| randabis | calc, yeah I know...kubuntu does kde right | 06:56 |
| regeya | someone should hax0r a way of making KDE a bit more GNOME HIG compliant, IMHO, because I'll agree with some of their decisions | 06:56 |
| MatthewJohn | Pizbit: ok, i didnt know it just used random frames | 06:56 |
| Roey | calc: I don't see any listed in the keyboard layout configuration panel | 06:56 |

| chavo | KDE 3.4 uses platik by default. | 06:56 |
| randabis | I'll give you that...default kde is a bit cluttered | 06:56 |
| Dreamer3_ | i read the Gnome HIG once, I was impressed | 06:56 |
| Vjaz | Pizbit: They aren't in "war" in my opinion if that's what you meant (sorry, never heard of "warring"). And now that there's a whole lot of collaboration through freedesktop.org, I think at one point we may reach a point where all KDE programs fit in GNOME nicely and vice versa. At that point, the choice of KDE or GNOME becomes largely irrelevant. | 06:56 |
| randabis | kubuntu's kde rocks though | 06:56 |

| sabmoc | Vjaz, both userlinux and ubuntu tired to make GNOME only desktops, both chose to support kde eventually because of users requests. Look at Suse, its a kde desktop, but they also support GNOME because of user requests. Momentum. But choice is a good thing. | 07:08 |
| sabmoc | GNOME would not be as good if there was no KDE to compete with, and vice versa. | 07:08 |

| sabmoc | Roey, same with gnomes.. we are not evolving into gnomes | 07:27 |

| Roey | sysrq: very easy for you to write it off like that, go ahead. | 07:29 |
| sabmoc | Roey, Ok, I agree names are important, but you should not judge something by its name or its branding only. Look at some names: Firefox, SUN, Windows, Longhorn, GNOME, KDE, Pixar. They are just names. | 07:29 |

I currently simply have a redirect for the local subdomain to my IP, but when you go the redirect route, it changes the URL to myIP/whatever. How can I have it be seamless, to the user? | 08:04 |
| Pizbit | llamabutcher: I told you universe, and I told you the link that would tell you how to enable it | 08:04 |
| tritium | cicada, you can try ssh -X | 08:04 |
| tritium | cicada, but I'd expect it to be too slow | 08:04 |
| llamabutcher | well i already know about updating my sources list | 08:04 |
| llamabutcher | thats not a problem | 08:04 |
| Dreamer3 | crimsun: are the new ubp versions safe, or you don't know? | 08:05 |
| llamabutcher | that site has a lot of usefull information. I was looking to start installing things like flash and stuff next, it has nice guides. Thanks pizbit | 08:05 |

| zelas_metallium | The RestrictedFormats page says to install that package, but it's not in the package manager, is there a different place to get it? | 08:05 |
| cicada | tritium: i don't want to send the video over ssh i want to control a box (over ssh) playing back video on its local screens | 08:05 |
| geppy | How can I have my computer act as a subdomain that I control? | 08:06 |
| Dreamer3 | crimsun: they changed how backports were versioned to try and solve these problems at one time i believe | 08:06 |
| tritium | zelas_metallium, you need to include the Marillat repo in your /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:06 |

| thoreauputic | crimsun: ah, it's an aesthetic issue for you then? *grin* | 08:12 |
| tritium | sig, is it really worth the effort to build a .deb of it? If so: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/index.en.html | 08:12 |
| factotum | must need gcc-3.3 for some compiling reason | 08:12 |
| crimsun | stuNNed: you have to use a corresponding 1.0.9rc2 libasound2 as well | 08:12 |

| AcidWolf | robitaille im on an Apple G4 Powerbook that is only 8 months old i dont think the card would do that so quickly | 08:55 |
| robitaille | AcidWolf, you're right. but it sounded the same initially | 08:56 |
| AcidWolf | yeah | 08:56 |
| dex1 | Someone else mentioned a URL in here but I never bookmarked it. It wasn't the planet one where warty andhoary were mixed up but listed packahes by category (misc, perl, admin, documentation etc) and it was searchable as well I think. anyone know of it? | 08:56 |

| dex1 | lewwy: I've no idea | 10:25 |
| lewwy | i'll explain it again | 10:25 |
| dex1 | Ubuntu finished installing and Gnome started, I went to the display config section (since it was at a very high res and therefore really small) and changed the settings from down to 1024x768 and upped the monitor refresh to 75hz. Then the screen corrupted with lines across it and now I can't see anything on it. :*( | 10:25 |
| lewwy | so how r u typing? | 10:25 |
| lewwy | anyway | 10:25 |
| lewwy | i have eth0, eth1 and eth2 | 10:25 |
| lewwy | however eth0 is not working properly | 10:26 |

| eyequeue | Dreamer3_: yeah, nothing at all like that, though no errors on the console i started it from just in case | 10:32 |

| eyequeue | AlohaWolf: then if you overwrite the passwd file, you'll find mysql can't start since it can't read it's own files (because they're now some other system user's files) | 10:53 |
| bob2 | eyequeue: note system users and regular users live in different parts of the uid space | 10:54 |

| zerokarmaleft | odie5533, but i've tried one of the beta releases too the same way | 11:38 |
| Dreamer3 | eyequeue: i'm wondering if i pick all packages by hand and solve brokens... if upgrade from aptitude is really quite the same as dist-upgrade | 11:38 |
| Pizbit | Dreamer3: Why would you get brokens?:) | 11:38 |
| zerokarmaleft | odie5533, but i use 4.5.2 permanently until i get my free 5.0 upgrade when they release it :) | 11:38 |
| Dreamer3 | Pizbit: well, i'm still kinda lost... why can't i upgrade to hoary using upgrade... why is dist-upgrade necessary? | 11:38 |
| bob2 | Dreamer3: no, it's not | 11:38 |
| bob2 | Dreamer3: since aptitude is interactive | 11:39 |
| odie5533 | ah | 11:39 |
| Pizbit | Dreamer3: Because packages flux, ie, a package could split into two, or a two could become one, etc | 11:39 |
| eyequeue | Dreamer3: by hand being "apt-get install foo bar" will always do what you want or prompt first, but it's sure not handy to do with 85 packages | 11:39 |

| eyequeue | nifty magic | 12:36 |
| odie5533 | Isnt that what my routers for? | 12:36 |
| zerokarmaleft | odie5533, bridging is enough if you have a router | 12:36 |
| underlord | routers are for routing, many can also nat too | 12:36 |
| corza | eyequeue: i typed it in and its doing nothing... its like sitting there... | 12:36 |
| odie5533 | so I dont need NAT then since I have the router? | 12:36 |
| underlord | i just bought a router today for nat | 12:36 |

| laxise | ah cool | 02:18 |
| HappyPills | laxise: yes | 02:18 |
| eyequeue | Pizbit: yeah so it would be more annoying to move it each time than to start it manually i think | 02:18 |
| stazz | ACID|net: no, the other way around :D | 02:18 |
| laxise | how to set up an ICQ account??? for gaim | 02:18 |
| woodywarty | how do I enable GnuPG support in Sylpheed-Claws ? | 02:18 |
| stazz | ACID|net: so it'd be four pounds per gigabyte | 02:18 |
| black_Nightmare | yeah I used gaim a bit | 02:18 |
| ACID|net | stazz: Huh?? ahh ok | 02:19 |
| black_Nightmare | and laxise..do you already have one or need one? | 02:19 |
| corza | stazz: um is this in System > Preferences > Sessions > Startup Programs? | 02:19 |
| ACID|net | hmmm :( was hoping it would be 0.25p oh well! | 02:19 |
| Pizbit | corza: Ya | 02:19 |
| laxise | i already have gaim | 02:19 |
| stazz | corza: yeah, that didn't work for me either. | 02:19 |
| black_Nightmare | laxise..no I mean the account | 02:19 |
| laxise | i have one | 02:19 |
| corza | stazz: oh ok where do i put it into .Xsesson? | 02:19 |
| black_Nightmare | laxise..so just enter your icq number and password..should be it | 02:19 |
| eyequeue | laxise: when you have hoary there, i recommend sudo apt-get install gaim-encryption | 02:19 |
| stazz | corza: ..you create a new file and one command per line. | 02:20 |
| black_Nightmare | eyeq..whats that for? | 02:20 |
| woodywarty | How can I use GnuPG in Sylpheed-Claws Mail Client ? | 02:20 |
| laxise | ok i try and send some message back thx !!! | 02:20 |
| Pizbit | laxise: icq.com ? I could be wrong but you might need to use the ICQ program to get a number. | 02:20 |
| woodywarty | bob2, are you there ? | 02:20 |
| woodywarty | Crimsun | 02:20 |
| corza | stazz: what do u mean a new file? | 02:20 |
| woodywarty | Amaranth | 02:20 |
| laxise | pizbit ... i already have a number | 02:20 |

| BockBilbo | :S | 02:47 |
| BockBilbo | sorry queuetue , lets see what eyequeue explains | 02:48 |
| eyequeue | queuetue: all that the package is is a list of dependencies. IF you don't have them, it forces them to be installed | 02:48 |
| Bardack | a problem , at the boot of cd , the system stop on "ACPI : subsysteme revision 20040816" | 02:48 |

| stazz | corza: ah well, good. | 02:48 |
| queuetue | eyequeue, but removing it does not remove those dependencies... what is the easiest way to 'remove gnome" and reinstall it? | 02:48 |
| === josue [~josue@200.122.157.27] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| eyequeue | queuetue: you already ave them, so asking the fake package to come agin just says "install this list if needed" and ... they're there already, so it does nothing | 02:49 |
| eyequeue | queuetue: this isn't completely simple, noty a one-liner, but this is the easiest i can think of, here goes | 02:49 |
| === myosotis [~myosotis@lap34-2-82-224-140-103.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| eyequeue | queuetue: you find ou the list of dependencies in that fake package, say it's foo bar baz, and then you issue 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install foo bar baz' | 02:50 |
| eyequeue | queuetue: and here is how to find out the list of dependencies in there ... look at the Depends: line in the output of the command 'apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop' | 02:51 |
| eyequeue | everything in that line, you want to issue a reinstall for | 02:52 |
| eyequeue | IF any of those are also pseudo-packages, you'd have to do it for all their dependencies | 02:52 |

| randabis | the only real way to remove gnome would be to search out all the dependencies and remove them | 02:54 |
| ogra | eyequeue, not at all, they are important on upgrades | 02:54 |
| Quinn_Storm | eyequeue: they are useful for upgrades | 02:54 |
| queuetue | Quinn_Storm, Latest hoary update hosed gnome, and I'm blaming a few non-official apt repos I had. I've uncommented them and want to take gnome back to "proper". | 02:54 |
| randabis | meta-package is the correct term, not pseudopackage | 02:54 |
| eyequeue | Quinn_Storm: he wants to remove and reinstall all of gnome | 02:54 |
| superted_ | I've installed w32codecs but still can't play wav's here. What could be wrong? | 02:54 |
| queuetue | (i've *commented* them, I mean) | 02:55 |
| Quinn_Storm | queuetue: well remove the gtk libs, that'll take out gnome for sure, then install ubuntu-desktop | 02:55 |
| ogra | queuetue, remove libgnome... and install ubuntu-desktop | 02:55 |
| BockBilbo | randabis, but i remember that when i started using linux (debian) i removed kde removing the main package, on which the rest of kde packages deppended on | 02:55 |
| BockBilbo | isnt there a package in Gnome like that one? | 02:55 |
| eyequeue | randabis: yeah, i was trying to start with fake package, move to pseudo, adn then to meta, not wanting to confuse | 02:55 |

| Quinn_Storm | queuetue: the gtk libs should be fine to remove if all you wanted was the original ubuntu install put back | 02:59 |
| BockBilbo | Quinn_Storm, you are right, i just asked in the gnome channel and thats what theyve told me | 03:00 |
| eyequeue | Quinn_Storm: that assumes he has no other gtk apps at all installed | 03:00 |
| Quinn_Storm | eyequeue: well from what he said he wanted to put it back at ubuntu default. not to mention its not exactly hard to reinstall apps through apt | 03:00 |
| randabis | queuetue, you might save time by just backing everything up and reinstalling, but it is your call | 03:00 |
| Brazmetal | Is there any way, using nautilus, to call the terminal to prompt in the dir I'm working ? | 03:01 |
| Pizbit | Brazmetal: Yeah, a nautilus script | 03:01 |
| BockBilbo | randabis, that what i suggested him before. I had the same problem as him and thats what i did | 03:01 |
| ogra | Brazmetal, look in the wiki for nautilus scripts | 03:01 |
| eyequeue | Quinn_Storm: that implies he'd know which of the (hundred?) packages that get removed didn't show back up though | 03:01 |
| Brazmetal | ok, thnx | 03:01 |
| Quinn_Storm | eyequeue: if he knows about nonstandard repositories, he knows enough to know what apps he wants | 03:02 |
| randabis | BockBilbo, yeah, I think that's the best course of action | 03:02 |
| eyequeue | Quinn_Storm: um, no | 03:02 |
| eyequeue | Quinn_Storm: if i remove gtk, i lose probably 500 packages here. no way would ubuntu-desktop put me close to that if reinstalled | 03:03 |

| OrangeRoot1000 | nubbe: np. i have been using debian/forks for about a year now so it takes time. ubuntu is a very nice distro and i need current stuff to support my laptop along with a current kernel that i dont have to compile | 07:17 |
| Ede | i have a little prob | 07:18 |
| Blissex | pere_: that should point to '/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-2-386' | 07:18 |

| InitMass | hawke_, tell me how please? | 09:14 |
| mjr | folta, ok; well, then it (basically) should work like that (except I use xine), _if_ your card doesn't need a firmware file. If it does, you'll need to get that. Get the kernel sources and see Documentation/dvb | 09:15 |
| kkathman | Nikki: Samba is necessary if you are sharing between Linux and Windows devices | 09:15 |
| InitMass | hawke_, so it doesn't matter which app i use then? | 09:15 |
| cisa | where to get xorg-devel package for building cedega from cvs | 09:15 |
| hawke_ | InitMass: imagemagick, gimp, etc. should do it... | 09:15 |
| mjr | folta, linux-source-2.6.10 or something | 09:15 |
| Flonne | What about NFS, kkathman? | 09:15 |
| hawke_ | InitMass: nope, not that I know of. | 09:15 |
| Nikki | Ah right, yeah I would need to use samba then | 09:15 |
| InitMass | hawke_, thanks | 09:15 |
| Grock | I installed a base Debian system, net install, edited the sources.list to hoary and now apt-get install ubuntu-desktop gives several screens of dependencies | 09:15 |
| mjr | InitMass, jpegtran will do that | 09:15 |
| alterim | kkathman i am sharing between linux and windows and i don't have samba | 09:15 |
| nfuck | I share files between my linuxboxes in samba too :P | 09:15 |
| kkathman | Nikki: If all your boxes are Linux, NFS will be sufficient | 09:15 |
| mjr | hmm, do gimp and imagemagick actually do lossless rotation of jpegs? | 09:15 |
| Grock | kkathman, that's alot to resolve manually | 09:15 |
| kkathman | alterim....how so....everything I've read says Samba | 09:15 |
| === lwillis [~lwillis@lwillis.plus.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| mjr | I just know for sure that jpegtran will | 09:16 |
| Nikki | nope thats the problem :), my main PC as windows and it uses NTFS, and my laptop will be linux | 09:16 |
| alterim | i have a fat32 partition | 09:16 |
| freakazoid | gthumb does lossless rotation of jpegs | 09:16 |
| kkathman | ahhh well ok alterim...I see | 09:16 |
| alterim | lol | 09:16 |
| hawke_ | mjr: Not 100% sure of gimp. But pretty sure of imagemagick at least | 09:16 |
| freakazoid | if you load, rotate, then save, it will not be lossless | 09:16 |
| nubbe | which FS is best, reiser or NFS? | 09:16 |
| kkathman | I was assuming non FAT | 09:16 |
| freakazoid | imagemagick is not lossless by default | 09:16 |
| === cavediver [~jonas@62.101.48.80] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| freakazoid | use jpegtran | 09:16 |
| freakazoid | then you can be sure it's lossless | 09:16 |
| alterim | any synaptic pros? | 09:16 |
| freakazoid | or do lossless rotations with gthumb | 09:16 |
| folta | mjr, thanks, i'm onto it | 09:16 |
| alterim | i have synaptic questions that NEED proper answers | 09:16 |
| kkathman | if you are using the standard windows...NTFS I think Samba is required no? | 09:16 |
| nfuck | What filesystem should i use on a dump partition, when i have dual boot (Windows XP, Ubuntu) | 09:17 |
| beowuff | nubbe, reiser is a disk format. NFS is for sharing files on a network. | 09:17 |
| Flonne | NFS isn't a local filesystem, nubbe; it's an abstraction of exsting filesystems used for network access. | 09:17 |

| mjr | folta, (and then there's the possible autodetection problems, but on Hoary my devices at least autodetects just fine) | 09:17 |
| nubbe | I thought it was NFS ext3 :) | 09:17 |
| Nikki | sorry? | 09:17 |
| InitMass | freakazoid, but with gthumb u have to rotate it while it's in the cam i think | 09:17 |
| Nikki | confused :S | 09:17 |
| cavediver | For some reason when i maximize a window, it also cover my panels. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case a few days ago :) Is this something new ? | 09:18 |
| kkathman | Nikki: Why confused? | 09:18 |
| mjr | cavediver, do you use xcompmgr? | 09:18 |
| cavediver | Anyone know how to get the old behavor back in that case ? | 09:18 |
| Nikki | cos you said "if you are using the standard windows...NTFS I think Samba is required no?" | 09:18 |
| dazed_ | someone help? ... how come in "network:///" only my samba network shows up and not my nfs??? | 09:18 |
| cavediver | mjr: yes, but it's not running now. | 09:18 |
| nubbe | Flonne, what is ext3 then? | 09:18 |
| cavediver | i tried it a few minites ago | 09:18 |
| mjr | cavediver, well, it leaves it like that after too; killall gnome-panel | 09:18 |
| Flonne | Ext3 is basically just journalized Ext2. | 09:18 |
| beowuff | nubbe ext3 is a disk format like reiserfs. | 09:18 |
| mjr | cavediver, it'll restart and then things will be ok again | 09:19 |
| Nikki | or were you saying that to someone else | 09:19 |
| cavediver | mjr: I see..., that xcomp thing was awfully slow | 09:19 |
| dazed_ | Nikki: for network file sharing between windows and linux u need samba...but its simple | 09:19 |
| kkathman | Nikki: standardly, contemporary windows boxes use NTFS and Im pretty sure Samba is the only way to go to share that across a network | 09:19 |

| kkathman | at least, its the easiest...or should be | 09:19 |
| InitMass | cavediver, ass du har dykt in i denna grotta ocks | 09:19 |
| dazed_ | nubbe: nfs is a network controller not a file system | 09:20 |
| InitMass | freakazoid, sorry i was wrong | 09:20 |
| beowuff | nubbe. NFS has nothing to do with ext2 or ext3. It's a seperate thing. | 09:20 |

| Nikki | Ah ok thats good | 09:42 |
| freakazoid | Witigonen: Yeah, tell me about it | 09:42 |
| StR34k | grogoreo, first you have to get a spash image (it's gotta be in *.xpm.gz), it's gotta be a certian size and with x amnt of colours. | 09:42 |

To my dismay, it wasn't on the list of available packages to install. Neither were many other applications I looked for. XMMS | 10:24 |
| kbrooks | was missing (I know it's an old application, but I like it), as was Amarok (QT-based multimedia application) which I've found has been replacing XMMS for me lately.
