| LinuxJones | shadow98, 5.04 is going to be stable next week :) | 12:01 |
| black_Nightmare | umm I thought it already was??? | 12:01 |
| whiteknight | bosewicht, just to say i've found a post on the ndiswrapper forum where someone got your card working with 1.1 | 12:01 |
| black_Nightmare | :p | 12:01 |
| black_Nightmare | <finds my hoary preview quite stable everywhere already | 12:02 |
| randabis | shadow98: depending on the wireless card, it will most likely need additional setup after either install..I'd recommend 5.04 over 4.10 at this point | 12:02 |
| whiteknight | bosewicht, you should try it, it is less likely to have build errors, hope that helps | 12:02 |
| shadow98 | ok thanks | 12:02 |

| randabis | welcome tritium | 12:03 |
| tritium | hey randabis | 12:03 |
| PacoBCN | Arnia, you know what's the best handler I've see for music so far? Winamp music library | 12:03 |
| Arnia | smouche: Muine already does exactly what I want :) | 12:03 |
| skraaningsulv | i am doing a default install of ubuntu now. installing the base system went quickly, byt why does it have to copy all the packages to the disk? it takes a LOT if time on my acer PIII | 12:04 |
| Arnia | PacoBCN: I never had a good experience with it :) | 12:04 |
| PacoBCN | Arnia, with WInamp or the Music Library? | 12:04 |
| randabis | skraaningsulv: that's just how apt works | 12:04 |
| randabis | it always copies packages to disk | 12:04 |
| black_Nightmare | skraan..read a bit closer next time..you already could opt to leave out 700MB | 12:04 |
| smouche | hmm, looking at muine -- for a simple player, it sure seems to have a lot of dependencies... | 12:04 |

| PacoBCN | Arnia, I find it great, the search option saved me a lot of time | 12:05 |
| randabis | Personally I like amarok better than muine | 12:05 |
| chelu2k | I continue without read permisions | 12:05 |
| Arnia | smouche: I already use Tomboy and Blam so those dependencies are there for me. And I write mono apps myself | 12:05 |
| chelu2k | PacoBCN, spanich? | 12:05 |
| skraaningsulv | but i thought the apt-get fetched programs from internet, not the local machine | 12:05 |
| chelu2k | spanish* | 12:05 |
| PacoBCN | chelu2k, not really but I do live in Barcelona | 12:06 |

| shadow98 | it is a dlink dwl 650 | 12:06 |
| Arnia | PacoBCN: Muine's search option is brilliant... you search by song or by album and you search by anything in the string metadata. Separate tokens (space separated words) are searched independently so I can (for example) search for "Drake Pink" and return "Nick Drake -- Pink Moon" even though Nick Drake is the artist and Pink Moon is the title | 12:07 |

| exalted | Why the ubuntu-base package tends to remove with any other package removal? Or when i want to remove ubuntu-sounds, gdm is removed automatically, why is that so? | 12:14 |
| randabis | they probably depend on each other | 12:15 |
| mx|gone | exalted: because they depend on one another | 12:15 |
| fea | If you can boot into ubuntu with a rescue disk and access your install correctly, then you need to run "grub-install" Check your hard drive, most likely you need "grub install hd0" | 12:15 |

| Jamminpotato | randabis, im a bit scared that grub will endu p killing te XP isntall again | 12:18 |
| whiteknight | bosewicht, first whats your system specs (roughly) | 12:18 |
| exalted | As to my very personal opinion that's illogical, a sound theme effects a very nice package, if i don't like ubuntu's sounds, i cannot update my desktop automatically, that's weird! | 12:18 |
| Nomikos | mx|gone: to be able to use one mailfolder from Thunderbird installs under both MacOS X and Ubuntu | 12:18 |
| esher | sorry | 12:18 |
| esher | iam searching for nice "terminal" font for x-console-window (ascii ready) anyone here have some idea ? | 12:18 |
| mx|gone | Nomikos: oooh, good idea :) | 12:18 |
| randabis | Jamminpotato: I don't think it was grub that killed it personally | 12:18 |
| mx|gone | Nomikos: well, you probably want to make sure your uids are the same between osx and linux | 12:19 |
| Nomikos | hmmm | 12:19 |
| Jamminpotato | randabis, waht do you think did it, and how cna i prevent it from occuring again | 12:19 |
| randabis | the reason I say that is I've done NUMEROUS ubuntu dual boot installs without having a single problem with grub messing up windows xp | 12:19 |
| mx|gone | Nomikos: or set up groups in both osx and linux that can write to that folder with the same gid | 12:19 |

| kbrooks | black_Nightmare, ok, deprecated | 12:40 |
| georges | hi, anyone knows of a good video editing tool? | 12:40 |
| kbrooks | happy? | 12:41 |
| kbrooks | fromz, no | 12:41 |
| === hybrid^brb is now known as hybrid | ||
| kbrooks | fromz, why? | 12:41 |
| LinuxJones | georges, there is none in Linux yet | 12:41 |
| georges | *damn* | 12:41 |
| hybrid | could someone confirm that if you edit your source.list to grumpy then you will have the bleeding edge packages like sid for debian | 12:41 |
| fromz | because I develop in mono and am sick of having to compile mono each time there's an update. | 12:41 |
| georges | ok, do you know of a bad editing tool? | 12:41 |
| LinuxJones | georges, yeah main actor has a Linux version but it has some problems | 12:41 |
| black_Nightmare | krbooks...if you didn't think about this, 56K modems, 512K-5MB cables, etc are still useful on even isa bus | 12:41 |
| black_Nightmare | go figure ;) | 12:41 |

| kbrooks | phaedo, yes | 12:43 |

| neighborlee | is it the 'mail' directory or do I need anything else... | 12:44 |
| georges | black_Nightmare: I'll try the mainactor demo version. still not shure if I will ever invest those $200 if they do a definitive version | 12:44 |

| kbrooks | hybrid, confirmation PASSED | 12:45 |
| carlo | impossible find linux-source-2.6.10-5-386 is the answer | 12:45 |
| georges | black_Nightmare: well the windows version costs 199, so I guess that would be the same prize for everyone. | 12:45 |
| StinkingPig | neighborlee, missed a dot -- make that ~/.evolution/local | 12:45 |
| hybrid | kbrooks THANK YOU soo much | 12:45 |

| shadow98 | randabis: download is almost done so i will find out soon.. | 12:48 |

| StinkingPig | i would | 12:49 |
| hybrid | kbrooks lol | 12:49 |
| LinuxJones | carlo, Ubuntu has nvidia drivers ready for download already | 12:49 |
| randabis | kbrooks: hoary is a testing release that will soon be a stable release...the same as sarge | 12:49 |
| StinkingPig | does the warty warthog installer kernel have ide support as a module or built-in? | 12:49 |
| HiddenWolf | StinkingPig, any chance re-running memtest would show different results? | 12:49 |
| |QuaD- | kbrooks: hoary isn't really bleeding edge anymore | 12:49 |
| |QuaD- | pseudo bleeding edge | 12:49 |
| kbrooks | randabis, sorry | 12:50 |
| hybrid | |QuaD i think he was being sarcastic | 12:50 |
| randabis | when hoary is released, it will be like woody (stable), and breezy will be the next testing | 12:50 |
| randabis | and grumpy will be unstable | 12:50 |
| hybrid | so breezy is not sid grumpy | 12:50 |
| kingsley | StinkingPig: Can you elaborate? | 12:50 |
| LinuxJones | carlo, >> http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BinaryDriverHowto | 12:50 |
| kbrooks | hybrid, no, i was not. i was serious | 12:50 |
| |QuaD- | randabis: you know when they will start the breezy repos? | 12:50 |
| hybrid | kbrooks hoary is very stable not very edgey | 12:50 |
| hybrid | |QuaD should be next week | 12:51 |
| fsapo | please.. wich is the exact command to upgrade the distribution? | 12:51 |
| hybrid | toward the end of next week | 12:51 |
| randabis | |QuaD-: most likely a week or so after hoary is released, similar to when hoary repos started about a week after warty was released | 12:51 |
| fsapo | i wanna upgrate from 4.10 to 5.04 with the cd | 12:51 |

| hybrid | randabis yes like friday hoary = woody breezy = sarge and warty = potato [i think] | 01:08 |
| delire | not dissimilar i guess, though several versions apart (where repo's are concerned) | 01:08 |

| sr | is hoary frozn now ? | 01:08 |

| drbombay43 | can anyone tell me the command for starting and stopping services like iptables? | 01:09 |
| neighborlee | is the 'local' DIR the only directory or 'file' I need to make sure I dont lose my evolution email ? | 01:09 |
| sr | iptables isnt a service | 01:09 |
| g23 | iptables -F to clear them | 01:10 |
| randabis | tritium: of course, the wiki just says it will be a feature version, but not the next after hoary so go figure | 01:10 |
| g23 | That flushes all the tables | 01:10 |
| neighborlee | StinkingPig: so your sure that 'local' is all I need to backup right ? | 01:10 |
| randabis | tritium: in all honesty I don't think anything has been finalized | 01:10 |
| tritium | randabis, that's what I thought | 01:10 |
| drbombay43 | does the sh command for uploading new rules | 01:10 |
| drbombay43 | does the sh command work for uploading new rules | 01:11 |
| StinkingPig | local has your mailboxes -- if you've got space, take the whole .evolution directory and that'll pick up most settings too | 01:11 |
| kingsley | What's a good way to automatically and incrementally backup a windows partition? | 01:11 |
| saber | kingsley: dar | 01:11 |
| Arnia | Hmm... relating to previous discussions about releases... I don't see the debian and ubuntu meanings of 'stable' and 'unstable' and 'testing' to be the same | 01:11 |
| Arnia | kingsley: rdiff-backup | 01:11 |
| g23 | drbombay43: do you mean link in a script? | 01:11 |
| neighborlee | StinkingPig: k thx | 01:11 |
| delire | neighborlee: a far better way of copying data to a remote machine is 'secure copy': 'scp -r folder/ me@mywebsite.com:public_html/path' | 01:12 |
| JaZy84 | does ubuntu come with sshd? | 01:12 |

| drbombay43 | in fedora you can create a file and with "sh <file name> load it to iptables | 01:13 |

| hybrid | randabis tritium correct me if i am wrong but i believe xmms plays mp3s or have a plug in for them | 01:28 |

| LinuxJones | Arnia, Ubuntu is going to be one of the most popular Linux distros around for many years to come :) | 01:32 |
| Blissex | Arnia: yes, I understand that attitude. The issue however is that for all their faults Debian/SPI is fairly transparent (perhaps excessively gossipy :->) and one can make informed guesses, Ubuntu/Canonical sort of like ''just happens'' :-) | 01:32 |
| calc | isai: depends on what apps you want to run on it | 01:32 |

| crb | Hi. Sorry for what seems like a easy question, but what is the 'easiest' way to install Java 1.5 on Hoary? (I find 4 or 5 confliciting stories on the ubuntu wiki) | 02:21 |
| crb | I'd rather not build my own .deb from the .bin if I can avoid it | 02:21 |
| josue | chimaera: got 3 dependencie problems | 02:22 |
| Blissex | crb: ahhhh, you sound so naive and innocent... | 02:22 |
| chimaera | apt-get -f install ? | 02:22 |
| Arnia | oh... hope Gimp allows tool extensions written in python or .net soon | 02:22 |
| Arnia | I want to implement http://www.levien.com/gimp/wetdream.html | 02:22 |
| skreet | So what is the procedure for going from warty to hoary? | 02:22 |
| chimaera | josue: the above cmd.. | 02:22 |
| crb | Blissex: What, for not wanting to build a deb? I'm just lazy :) | 02:22 |
| josue | yea running it. | 02:22 |
| chimaera | skreet: if you ask this, you probably don't want to do it.. | 02:22 |
| Blissex | crb: no, for expecting there to be an the 'easiest' way :-) | 02:22 |
| crb | I would like this answer to scale up to "can show people at an upcoming installfest" | 02:23 |
| Blissex | crb: however IIRC some shady characters have made available some ready-made .deb with 1.5 | 02:23 |
| crb | so far there has been an easiest way to do everything else. very impressed. | 02:23 |
| chimaera | skreet: exchange warty with hoary within your sources.list. | 02:23 |

| Jishi | hello everyone | 02:23 |
| josue | chimaera: looks like this is working, it's now installing a bunch of packages, probably the ones i got in the sist-upgrade but never finished configuring. :) | 02:23 |
| crb | I thought that was changing | 02:23 |
| Blissex | chimaera: skreet: the best way is to _add_ hoary sources, and then release-pin to 'hoary' in '/etc/apt/apt.conf' | 02:24 |

| Krys^ | Blissex: umm, what? | 02:31 |
| crb | Good point, I hadn't noticed that was the SDK. | 02:31 |

| Blissex | Krys^: if your medium is something like a network, you can use Putty on MS Windows, which can connect to SSH on GNU Linux. | 02:40 |

| LinuxJones | Krys^, the price of a cd is not worth the bother of messing around :) | 02:40 |

| hybrid | folta ok | 03:52 |
| skreet | It takes me about a day to get it setup with KDE or gnome and all my software | 03:52 |
| skreet | 12-14 hours i'd say. | 03:52 |
| folta | it was tough though | 03:52 |
| randabis | I can get a base system with a graphical environment (gnome) going in under a day from STAGE 1 | 03:52 |
| hybrid | does gentoo use kde or gnome | 03:52 |
| skreet | randabis, What kind of system and how many distcc clients? | 03:52 |
| JaZy15 | either one | 03:53 |
| skreet | hybrid, Neither, by default | 03:53 |
| JaZy15 | hybrid | 03:53 |
| yfir | hybrid: either one. whichever you decide | 03:53 |
| hybrid | oo ok | 03:53 |
| randabis | hybrid: gentoo is about flexibility...you decide what you want on your system | 03:53 |
| randabis | skreet: athlon xp 3200+ no distcc | 03:53 |
| skreet | hybrid, It installs NOHTING by default, you install everything from source. | 03:53 |
| efletch | pune: don't understand, you can run this as user, just did it . . . tail -f /var/log/messages . . . type that in a terminal | 03:53 |
| JAzyLNX | what the hell does conversation wwith su failed mean when trying to get into adminstartive control center | 03:53 |

| rberry | can any one help me with my display settings, just installed ubuntu on my laptop and im stuck in 640-480 its the only option in the resolution xpplet... hoary 504 | 03:55 |
| skreet | JaZy15, Theres your problem, you installed kde onto a gnome-confifgured system | 03:55 |
| hybrid | wow never thought i would here you say that randabis | 03:55 |
| skreet | You should do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and it'll install it correctly | 03:55 |
| pvoce | randabis: ive installed a gentoo system that two 2.5 days...ill never do that agfain:) | 03:55 |
| JaZy15 | can i just run that and leave kde on | 03:55 |
| hybrid | raandabis how do you compile with emerge? | 03:55 |
| pune | how do i get the terminal to repeat a command line without having to type it all | 03:55 |
| skreet | Eh, I dont know, probably | 03:55 |
| skreet | I'd undo it just to be safe. | 03:55 |
| pvoce | but Im a kubuntu fan now | 03:55 |
| randabis | hybrid: emerge (name of package) | 03:55 |
| skreet | pune, Press up | 03:55 |
| hybrid | oo not hard | 03:55 |
| randabis | kubuntu rocks :) | 03:55 |

| randabis | hybrid: emerge is similar to apt, except it compiles the packages from source instead of using precompiled packages | 03:56 |
| hybrid | is gentoo very big? | 03:56 |
| meister_ | fucking windows-ftp-server | 03:56 |
| yfir | agree skreet. dumb joke only | 03:56 |
| hybrid | oo | 03:56 |

| randabis | however, emerge CAN use precompiled packages | 03:56 |
| pvoce | I quite being a gnomer when ximian was bought out by novell | 03:56 |
| hybrid | o i c | 03:56 |
| skreet | hybrid, By default gentoo is small, it installs *NOTHING* | 03:56 |
| folta | hybrid, with kde and all that stuff, yeah, but it can be small | 03:56 |
| skreet | hybrid, Then you ADD programs | 03:56 |
| hybrid | ok i get it | 03:57 |
| randabis | the minimal install CD for gentoo is under 100 MB | 03:57 |
| skreet | yfir, Good, I laughed :D Just making sure it wasnt turning into an ati vs nvidia all out end of the world battle to the death | 03:57 |
| hybrid | so gentoo can be just gnome and firefox if you wanted | 03:57 |
| randabis | yes | 03:57 |
| JaZy15 | yeah | 03:57 |
| hybrid | wow | 03:57 |
| pune | I don't know what i'm looking at though | 03:57 |
| hybrid | ill check it out but not 2005.0 | 03:57 |
| hybrid | :P | 03:57 |
| pvoce | think of gentoo as Slackware on steroids | 03:57 |
| efletch | anybody know if hoary has substantial improvements to usb??? | 03:57 |
| folta | although why install gnome just for firefox? | 03:58 |
| hybrid | lol | 03:58 |

| Marble2 | from what I've gathered, the mbr for windows (which should be on /dev/hdc) is corrupt and that's why windows won't bootup? | 05:03 |
| JaZy15 | did you find anything about adding windows | 05:03 |
| Marble2 | not really | 05:04 |
| jeffreyj | can someone help me get a gamepad to work with visualboyadvnace? | 05:04 |
| niran | computerguy867, yeah | 05:04 |
| computerguy867 | how? | 05:04 |
| Marble2 | but when I ran fixmbr in recovery console, it messed up lilo, which leads me to belive they are both using the same mbr or something | 05:04 |
| Marble2 | so how do I make windows use it's own mbr on it's own partition | 05:04 |
| niran | computerguy867, it didn't ask me to remove it. what other packages is it removing? | 05:04 |
| computerguy867 | it wants to remove some footmatic package and in in turn ubuntu-desktop | 05:04 |
| niran | oh | 05:04 |
| niran | update your sources | 05:05 |
| niran | then try again | 05:05 |
| computerguy867 | i did | 05:05 |
| niran | oh. | 05:05 |
| HappyPills | hehe, going to install kqemu in a second | 05:05 |
| JaZy15 | mbr is just Master boot recorder | 05:05 |
| JaZy15 | record | 05:05 |
| niran | computerguy867, ah, i already had it uninstalle | 05:05 |
| JaZy15 | it is the first thing that get's loaded | 05:05 |
| niran | d | 05:05 |
| EMan | Whats the name of the executable that is the GUI interface for Samba? | 05:05 |
| JaZy15 | thus your lilo is on thre (to load linux) and windows creates it's own | 05:05 |
| JaZy15 | you installed lilo | 05:05 |
| JaZy15 | so now you just need to tell lilo how to start windows | 05:06 |
| computerguy867 | ubuntu-desktop is important for dist upgrades | 05:06 |
| Marble2 | which I have done | 05:06 |
| computerguy867 | i think | 05:06 |
| geneo93 | Marble2: there is only space for one or the other | 05:06 |
| Marble2 | but when it goes to start windows, it finds the mbr corrupt/absent | 05:06 |
| Marble2 | geneo93: I thought I could have one per drive | 05:06 |
| Marble2 | and the linux mbr and windows mbr should be on different drives | 05:06 |
| eclipse | anyone know how to turn off the animation in gnome when minimizing? | 05:06 |
| geneo93 | lilo on first drive that boot then what ever after that | 05:07 |
| osity | how do i remove a user from a group? | 05:07 |
| JaZy15 | now the mbr is on the drive | 05:07 |
| Marble2 | which drive | 05:07 |
| JaZy15 | use grub it has a better walk through for installing on windows | 05:07 |
| Marble2 | I can never get grub to work | 05:08 |
| computerguy867 | oh well, i guess i just report the problem | 05:08 |
| Marble2 | Ive tried alot | 05:08 |
| geneo93 | osity: kill him | 05:08 |
| osity | stop showering ,.....instant grub | 05:08 |
| maddler | goddamn... it's 5AM! | 05:08 |
| JaZy15 | well i've never used lilo sorry | 05:08 |
| osity | nanana.... | 05:08 |
| Marble2 | okay | 05:08 |
| JaZy15 | i've only used grub | 05:08 |
| JaZy15 | .. | 05:08 |
| maddler | and noone told me! | 05:08 |
| maddler | :) | 05:08 |
| osity | what the command? | 05:08 |
| JaZy15 | : / | 05:08 |
| JaZy15 | 9 pm here maddler | 05:08 |
| Marble2 | if I got a dos boot cd and ran fdisk /mbr would that fix it? | 05:08 |
| JaZy15 | yes | 05:08 |
| geneo93 | grub wont see reiserfs4 though | 05:08 |
| JaZy15 | to boot windows | 05:08 |
| Marble2 | wait | 05:09 |
| Marble2 | so it would mess lilo up? | 05:09 |
| JaZy15 | your lilo would be gone therefore it wouldn't boot lilo | 05:09 |
| niran | computerguy867, ubuntu-desktop is nice to have around, but i don't think it changes all that much | 05:09 |
| Marble2 | grrr | 05:09 |
| JaZy15 | yes | 05:09 |
| circuit_rider | osity: edit /etc/group | 05:09 |
| JaZy15 | lilo resides on /dev/hda (mbr) | 05:09 |
| Marble2 | how cna I keep lilo, but still be able to boot to linux and windows, with windows working | 05:09 |
| Marble2 | right | 05:09 |
| Marble2 | and the windows mbr would reside on /dev/hdc | 05:09 |
| JaZy15 | it has to do with the lilo config | 05:09 |
| kurros | eclipse: if you turn on /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources in the configuration editor it will disable animations, among other things. i dont know if there is an option for just animation | 05:09 |
| computerguy867 | i know, it wont effect anything until the next upgrade in 6 months | 05:09 |
| niran | computerguy867, so if you have the latest ubuntu-desktop, you can go ahead and install hplip, just reinstall ubuntu-desktop after the final release comes out to pick up any additions | 05:09 |
| Marble2 | :(, maybe I'll find someone to help me who uses lilo | 05:09 |
| niran | computerguy867, right | 05:09 |
| computerguy867 | ok | 05:10 |
| computerguy867 | ill do that | 05:10 |
| computerguy867 | thanks | 05:10 |
| osity | circuit_rider: that's not working for me....can you elaborate | 05:10 |
| Marble2 | JaZy15: do you know if there is a difference between fixmbr and fdisk /mbr ? | 05:11 |

| DonL | Marble2, I don't use lilo anymore and haven't for a while, but I remember every time a change was made, you had to make sure to go to a terminal and type "lilo" for it to take | 05:14 |
| JaZy15 | yeah you have to env-update also | 05:15 |

| HappyPills | I'll put up a screenshot of what it's currently at | 05:31 |
| DonL | HappyPills, maybe MS is busy checking your system with XP | 05:31 |
| JaZy15 | should i run an apt-get dist-upgrade before installing kde | 05:31 |
| JaZy15 | .. | 05:31 |

| HappyPills | DonL: ?? | 05:31 |
| Whiffle | i'm looking forward to the day when I can get windows completely off my computer | 05:31 |
| DonL | Don't they do that now with XP? | 05:31 |
| JaZy15 | Whiffle oh yeah | 05:32 |
| SuperQ | Whiffle: what's stopping you? | 05:32 |
| HappyPills | oh... *cough* not the way I install it | 05:32 |
| JaZy15 | counting down the numbers.. | 05:32 |
| Whiffle | school | 05:32 |
| Whiffle | software | 05:32 |
| JaZy15 | me too Whiffle | 05:32 |
| randabis | Whiffle: heh that happened for me months ago now :) | 05:32 |
| mark_ | HappyPills: I just did a reinstall of XP on my laptop, and once I got rid of all the vendor cruft, it wasn't that bad. | 05:32 |
| JaZy15 | :( | 05:32 |
| HappyPills | http://img1.picsplace.to/img1/5/1471/qemu.png | 05:32 |
| Marble2 | So, anyone here using lilo willing to help me out? | 05:32 |
| randabis | JaZy15: kubuntu-desktop for kde, remember that :) | 05:32 |
| Whiffle | i have to do some stupid online math homework thing, it will only run in windows, with IE6. | 05:32 |
| kpeterson | Can anyone help me set up a vsftp server? Everything is running ok and I can see my server at ftp://localhost and even ftp://myip but when people outside my network try to connect, I get issues. | 05:32 |
| JaZy15 | heh yeah | 05:32 |
| JaZy15 | randabis seems to be working okay after the install. | 05:33 |
| DonL | I must say, my wife's XP works pretty well, but sometimes it just starts communicating with somebody for minutes at a time | 05:33 |
| JaZy15 | synaptic | 05:33 |
| Whiffle | kpeterson, what kind of issues? | 05:33 |
| JaZy15 | that is | 05:33 |
| randabis | JaZy15: great :) | 05:33 |
| randabis | brb doing a new ubuntu install on my laptop | 05:33 |
| HappyPills | oh I have nothing against xp, I just require one program in XP to run and multiple programs in linux | 05:33 |
| JaZy15 | kpeterson do you have the port open on router? | 05:33 |
| === randabis is away: finishing ubuntu install on laptop | ||

| Whiffle | XP pisses me off whenever I have to run it | 05:34 |
| yfir | good luck folks | 05:34 |
| DonL | HappyPills, I like to experiment too. | 05:34 |
| JaZy15 | is there a special command for isntalling xfce like kde? | 05:34 |
| HappyPills | has anyone here succesfully installed kqemu? | 05:34 |
| DonL | Whiffle, yes, me too. I figure there must be something I can run on my Linux box that will work as well | 05:34 |
| kpeterson | Whiffle, this is what happened when I tried to connect form another terminal outside my network: Connected to 12.216.13.48. | 05:34 |

| Whiffle | mark_, samba | 05:40 |
| randabis | samba for XP and 2k; nfs for hoary | 05:40 |
| DonL | Yes, mark_ shouldn't be too bad | 05:40 |
| randabis | and ssh | 05:40 |
| mark_ | Whiffle: will Samba serve for the Linux side? | 05:41 |
| Whiffle | as in? | 05:41 |
| randabis | mark_: samba "can" work linux to linux, but you should really use NFS | 05:41 |
| SuperQ | mark_: yea.. samba will work just fine | 05:41 |

| Marble2 | Does anyone here use lilo and dual boot windows and linux? I'm having some problems and need help. Also, please don't tell me to use grub | 05:44 |
| DonL | randabis, funny - I've never been able to access my linux box from the two windows machines here, but it works fine the other way. I can see both of them | 05:44 |
| kpeterson | Whiffle its not listed in there by default, but it works | 05:44 |
| Whiffle | Marble2, I do, but I cheat...my bios has a built in boot menu.. | 05:44 |
| randabis | DonL: it's tricky :/ windows networking sucks | 05:44 |
| Marble2 | oh | 05:44 |
| DonL | I've learned to get by without it. | 05:44 |
| mark_ | I know, I've tried googling - there's lot's of "blind alleys" there...thatks, I'll try the suggestions. | 05:45 |
| randabis | Marble2: perhaps describing the problem would produce better results | 05:45 |
| Whiffle | kpeterson, I just disabled anonymous_enable=yes and now I can log into myself locally, im going to try over the internet next | 05:45 |
| SuperQ | Whiffle: one of the pitfalls of accessing samba, is it has a separate password database | 05:46 |
| Marble2 | I get "NTLDR is missing" when I boot Windows from the lilo menu, but when I tried doing fixmbr from a windows recovery console, it messed up my lilo settings. Why are they conflicting, and how can I use lilo and stop getting the windows error? | 05:46 |
| Whiffle | SuperQ, yeah we're working FTP though :D | 05:47 |
| SuperQ | FTP is evil | 05:47 |
| SuperQ | use winscp/ssh | 05:47 |
| PacoBCN | hehe, nice one. qparted can't find file system of an external drive but I can save files on it :S | 05:48 |
| SuperQ | (you just need to install openssh-server) | 05:48 |
| randabis | Marble2: when you ran fixmbr, could you boot windows? | 05:48 |
| SuperQ | there is no messing around with config files | 05:48 |
| Marble2 | no | 05:48 |
| Marble2 | it acted like lilo wanted to load, but I just got L 9A9A9A9A9A9A9A99A and not lilo menu | 05:48 |
| DonL | Marble2, that's strange | 05:48 |
| randabis | Marble2: sounds like windows is broken | 05:48 |
| SuperQ | Marble2: btw.. what does your partition layout look like? | 05:48 |
| SuperQ | it sounds like a partition problem | 05:49 |
| mark_ | OK, is there an NFS primer someone can point me to? | 05:49 |
| Marble2 | 3 hard drives, /dev/hda which has 4 partitions, #4 being the linux one, drive /dev/hdc having one partition, this is the windows install | 05:49 |
| randabis | partition problem is a possibility | 05:49 |
| SuperQ | mark_: there isn't much to it | 05:50 |
| Marble2 | the boot line in lilo.conf is | 05:50 |
| Marble2 | i | 05:50 |
| Marble2 | er | 05:50 |
| Marble2 | boot=/dev/hda | 05:50 |
| SuperQ | mark_: if you want windows compatability, I suggest you just stick to samba | 05:50 |
| SuperQ | yea | 05:50 |
| SuperQ | windows _hates_ not being on /dev/hda | 05:50 |
| DonL | True | 05:50 |
| randabis | more specifically | 05:50 |
| randabis | /dev/hda1 | 05:50 |
| Marble2 | would that be causing the problem? | 05:51 |
| SuperQ | probably | 05:51 |
| Marble2 | but it was on hdc before with no problems | 05:51 |
| Marble2 | so that doesn't make sense | 05:51 |
| SuperQ | I dunno | 05:51 |
| hybrid | *sigh* | 05:51 |
| === hard_i [~hard_i@rapla.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| Marble2 | I think it has to be something with lilo, it was working fine before I started messing with lilo.conf (I was having linux problems) | 05:51 |
| Marble2 | and then I started getting the windows error | 05:51 |
| randabis | well you can technically install it on any partition, but it plays nicest on the first drive, first partition | 05:51 |
| SuperQ | randabis: aye | 05:52 |
| DonL | Yeah. Windows wants to be first | 05:52 |

| mark_ | The Windows compatibility is fine, but I also run Ubuntu on my laptop - any suggestions? | 05:52 |
| Marble2 | ahh | 05:52 |
| randabis | Marble2: sounds like you may need to reconfigure lilo.conf...might I ask why you use lilo? | 05:52 |
| Marble2 | so can i run fixmbr in windows recovery console and get it to write it's boot sector to hdc? | 05:52 |
| Marble2 | randabis: I have had so many problems with grub | 05:53 |
| i0n_st0rm | anyone had any problems installing nvidia-glx under hoary? | 05:53 |
| SuperQ | mark_: how much file transfering are we talking about? | 05:53 |
| Marble2 | and I've never been able to get it to work | 05:53 |
| randabis | Marble2: fair enough | 05:53 |
| Marble2 | :) | 05:53 |
| SuperQ | mark_: do you need filesystem access, or is just one-or-two file copies what you need? | 05:53 |
| randabis | i0n_st0rm: nope | 05:53 |
| i0n_st0rm | hmm | 05:53 |
| Marble2 | so is using fixmbr in the way I want possible? | 05:53 |
| DonL | Marble2, is it XP/ | 05:54 |
| DonL | ? | 05:54 |
| mark_ | SuperQ: Just about anything - from docs to executables... | 05:54 |
| geneo93 | Marble2: whats on hdb | 05:54 |
| i0n_st0rm | fixmbr from windows repair tools will make your system xp only | 05:54 |

| Marble2 | DonL: yes | 05:54 |
| randabis | I honestly don't know if it is possible to specify that with the recovery console Marble2 | 05:54 |
| i0n_st0rm | then you'll have to re-install grub to get linux to work again | 05:54 |
| SuperQ | mark_: you could just install openssh-server on the ubuntu machine, and use winscp on windows to grab files | 05:54 |
| kpeterson | Whiffle sorry I was afk, you still trying to get in locally' | 05:54 |
| Marble2 | jesus | 05:54 |
| Marble2 | fixmbr [device_name | 05:54 |
| SuperQ | mark_: I'm talking more about quantity, than type of files | 05:54 |
| geneo93 | why ntfs | 05:54 |
| Marble2 | from the windows support | 05:54 |
| Marble2 | i just ran fixmbr | 05:55 |
| i0n_st0rm | i did a fresh install of ubuntu and upgraded to hoary.. and when i try to install the nvidia drivers i get this: | 05:55 |
| Marble2 | and it assumed to write it to hda right? | 05:55 |
| i0n_st0rm | Package nvidia-glx is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 05:55 |
| i0n_st0rm | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 05:55 |
| i0n_st0rm | is only available from another source | 05:55 |
| i0n_st0rm | E: Package nvidia-glx has no installation candidate | 05:55 |
| Marble2 | and that could be causing my problem, right? | 05:55 |
| randabis | Marble2: correct | 05:55 |
| Marble2 | sigh | 05:55 |
| DonL | If I remember correctly, the windows XP disk has a recovery mode on it | 05:55 |
| Marble2 | lets see if this works | 05:55 |
| Marble2 | that's what I used DonL | 05:55 |
| DonL | Did you use that, Marble2 > | 05:55 |
| DonL | Oh. Ok | 05:55 |
| Marble2 | I'll be right back, hope this works | 05:55 |

| JaZy84 | too.. | 05:59 |

| DonL | I trashed the family computer the first time I tried to install Linux a long time ago. If it makes you feel better | 06:10 |
| randabis | Marble2: repair install is about your only option short of backing up your stuff and hosing it | 06:10 |

| SuperQ | individ_: ubuntu now provides an update-manager thing as well | 06:10 |
| Artemis3 | haha | 06:10 |
| vince_ | when i enter in my ip address | 06:10 |
| DonL | I wasn't popular | 06:10 |
| vince_ | do ienter 192.168.0.1 | 06:10 |

| Artemis3 | thats a fix not a trash | 06:10 |
| vince_ | or | 06:10 |
| vince_ | my real ip | 06:10 |
| JaZy84 | you can enter the external one if you want | 06:10 |
| SuperQ | ohh. | 06:10 |
| JaZy84 | the internet one. | 06:10 |
| SuperQ | you might have problems with the external | 06:10 |
| SuperQ | depending on the router | 06:10 |
| randabis | Marble2: it's not mountable?!?! uh oh...In that case a repair install may not even fix it | 06:11 |
| SuperQ | your NAT router might not handle things like that so well | 06:11 |
| JaZy84 | but if you enter the machines ip 192 .168 . * . you wouldn't have to open that port on router usually | 06:11 |

| Marble2 | And if it doesn't, are there any other recourses to recover my data? | 06:13 |

| Marble2 | JaZy84: huh? | 06:13 |
| Marble2 | ouch randabis | 06:13 |

| Epixc | hybrid, i believe it works like this. sarge takes the newest packages off the mirrors. updated every day. sid on the other hand has locked packages. all the packages are from a certain date. so they will all work with each other. | 06:53 |

| DonL | Shhhh. My son will want one | 06:58 |
| hybrid | lol | 06:58 |
| Epixc | ok whats so great about having a new release every 6 months? | 06:59 |

| Artemis3 | ah | 06:59 |
| Artemis3 | i remembered, thanks | 06:59 |
| hybrid | releases ppl recognize | 06:59 |
| DonL | I think the releases follow Gnome releases | 06:59 |
| hybrid | like what is gimp in woody? .0.1? | 06:59 |
| geneo93 | Epixc: keeps things current | 07:00 |
| Artemis3 | huh? no way, it was like 1.x in potato | 07:00 |
| Arnia | Epixc: Time based releases generally promote a more realistic scheduling | 07:00 |
| HappyPills | hmm... I've progressed to 23 minutes remaining from 24... It only took 2 hours | 07:00 |
| Arnia | Epixc: Little and often is better than loads and never after all (look at Enlightenment ;) | 07:00 |
| hybrid | Artemis3 : i waz jokin | 07:00 |
| geneo93 | hehe | 07:00 |

| geneo93 | sorry watching SNL | 07:00 |
| Artemis3 | but really ubuntu is filling a gap | 07:00 |
| roy_ | question: in a listing's -rxwr.... thing, what does it mean when 'l' is the first letter? (all I know is that 'd' means directory) | 07:00 |
| Artemis3 | left by the slow update process in debian | 07:00 |
| jordanau | snl sucks now | 07:01 |
| DonL | I think twice yearly releases is plenty | 07:01 |
| Epixc | but whats so great about those new releases. | 07:01 |
| adamZ | link. It's like a shortcut | 07:01 |
| === inetd [~abc@ppp67-169.lns1.mel2.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| hybrid | ubuntu = modern debian | 07:01 |
| corza | can someone help me with an xmms plugin? | 07:01 |
| Epixc | wait, does ubun use apt? | 07:01 |
| hybrid | debian grew up at last but changed its name to ubuntu | 07:01 |
| Artemis3 | gnome and openbsd to release twice in a year | 07:01 |
| hybrid | Epixc yes | 07:01 |
| DonL | Ubuntu is the Debian for everybody | 07:02 |
| hybrid | ubuntu means humanity to all so yea it would be debian 4 every1 | 07:02 |
| roy_ | hey, I just tried to mount, but the computer told me that "only root can do that" | 07:02 |
| roy_ | how do I become 'root'? | 07:02 |
| adamZ | roy | 07:02 |
| hybrid | sudo | 07:02 |
| adamZ | roy_: you need to do sudo mount | 07:02 |
| hybrid | ^roy | 07:02 |
| DonL | sudo command | 07:02 |
| Arnia | Epixc: Its great for desktop users... especially atm since so many projects are evolving the desktop concept so fast in order to catch up (and surpass) other offerings in usability, accessibility and relevance | 07:02 |
| jordanau | when hoary stable comes out, will it be stable enough for me ( a noob) or should i wait a while? | 07:02 |
| adamZ | ack. pressed enter too soon | 07:03 |
| roy_ | sp psuedo? | 07:03 |
| Epixc | but what about servers? | 07:03 |
| geneo93 | roy_: thats the way it is | 07:03 |
| Arnia | Epixc: Ubuntu is not for servers | 07:03 |
| hybrid | jordanau: hoary is prolly ready now | 07:03 |
| jordanau | thanks | 07:03 |
| Arnia | Epixc: Its a desktop operating system | 07:03 |
| DonL | A friend stopped by the other night who had never seen any Linux. He was very impressed | 07:03 |
| hybrid | Arnia : i beg to differ | 07:03 |
| Artemis3 | for servers i switched to freebsd/openbsd long time ago | 07:03 |
| Epixc | Arnia, so whats for servers? debian :P? | 07:03 |
| Arnia | hybrid: It *can* be used for servers... but that isn't its main focus | 07:03 |
| hybrid | Arnie : ppl are starting to use it on some servers | 07:03 |
| Arnia | In the same way OSX can be used for servers | 07:04 |
| jordanau | i will wait till stable day then ass oopposed to a month form now. | 07:04 |
| hybrid | no not main but it is cathin on | 07:04 |
| Artemis3 | gentoo "wants" to be... heh. | 07:04 |
| geneo93 | Epixc: you can do a sever install if you wish | 07:04 |
| roy_ | if I become power user, will it let me mount? | 07:04 |
| jordanau | excuse grammer i have had a few beers..... | 07:04 |
| roy_ | (and I've forgotten how to become a power user) | 07:04 |
| Arnia | hybrid: I don't doubt that... I just wonder why people would want to use a desktop focused OS for server work :) | 07:04 |
| hybrid | Arnia: no idea | 07:05 |
| hybrid | i like osx servers tho | 07:05 |
| DonL | roy_, all you have to do is type sudo before the command. Then it will ask you for your password. That's YOUR password. Give it and you're in | 07:05 |
| Arnia | I don't like the idea of a kitchen sink OS... I think Ubuntu should concentrate on the desktop. The needs of desktops and servers are quite different IMO | 07:05 |
| hybrid | my school has one | 07:05 |
| Epixc | wait. ubin has no root! | 07:05 |
| geneo93 | ubuntu can be enterprise if you want | 07:05 |
| hybrid | yes i agree | 07:05 |
| Epixc | haha, no wonder its not for servers | 07:05 |
| hybrid | Epixc by default no it does not | 07:05 |
| roy_ | ah | 07:06 |
| adamZ | then again, apache's in main, as are other servers iirc | 07:06 |
| HappyPills | ubuntu can have root if you like it to | 07:06 |
| hybrid | juss not by default | 07:06 |
| geneo93 | Epixc: you can create one if you know linux like i do | 07:06 |
| Liz | i have usb ports, but they arent showing up in /dev/ | 07:07 |
| DonL | HappyPills, I've learned to like it this way. 99.999% of the time I'm just me | 07:07 |
| hybrid | geneo93: cant you do so in the installation | 07:07 |
| Liz | anyone kno whow to corrent this? | 07:07 |
| roy_ | I don't want to eff anything up, so is it possible for me to mount my CD drive into a directory that I make up, say "/DVD"? | 07:07 |
| Arnia | I like not having root actually :) | 07:07 |
| hybrid | me 2 | 07:07 |
| roy_ | (and what's the syntax for making this directory before mounting)? | 07:07 |
| jordanau | roy_, yes | 07:07 |
| geneo93 | liz i have 6 of them | 07:07 |
| adamZ | mkdir /new/directory | 07:07 |
| Liz | i have 4 | 07:07 |
| Epixc | geneo93, but can you actully make it root? uid 0 and all? | 07:07 |
| roy_ | thasnk | 07:07 |
| Liz | but they arent showing up in /dev geneo93 | 07:08 |
| adamZ | sudo mkdir that is | 07:08 |
| adamZ | unless you're mounting in your own directory | 07:08 |
| Arnia | hybrid: In the end, I don't disagree its possible to use Ubuntu for a server. I just question whether its wise to have an operating system with as few development resources as this (relatively speaking) targeting two large, often conflicting groups. | 07:08 |
| geneo93 | sure why not its linux you can configure it anyway you want | 07:08 |
| Artemis3 | i like that the root is disabled by default, and thing of the first users as the "admin" of sorts, where i make another user without sudo | 07:08 |
| hybrid | Arnia: i am not defending it i am just stating the facts | 07:08 |
| jordanau | sudo mount --bind /media/cddrive /the/directory/i/made/up | 07:09 |
| roy_ | SCORE! Let's see if I can figure out how to run these driver installs... | 07:09 |

| DonL | geneo93, then I would have to ban me too. | 07:10 |
| jordanau | let me drink to you | 07:10 |
| roy_ | b4 I do anything: I'm installing nvidia display drivers, and the nvidia site said that I should type in "sh long_file_name_such_and_such.run" | 07:10 |
| Arnia | geneo93: Its not linux, its ubuntu. Linux isn't an operating system, its just a really good basis for an operating system ;) | 07:10 |

| === jordanau drninks to geneo93 | ||

| roy_ | I don't know what glx is. I only skimmed over it in my research. background: I had a smooth install of warty 64, but when I try to start up it poops out when x server is supposed to load | 07:12 |
| DonL | roy_, I agree with tritium on this. Whenever possible, I'll pull stuff from apt-get or synaptic. If then it doesn't work out for me, I can easily get rid of it | 07:12 |
| jordanau | geneo93, how drunk are ya | 07:12 |
| Artemis3 | its been a while... | 07:12 |
| roy_ | and I got advice that I should install the drivers from nvidia's site | 07:13 |
| Artemis3 | there was a proggie for dialup connect i used to use | 07:13 |
| geneo93 | Quenyar: me | 07:13 |
| Artemis3 | but i only used real modems | 07:13 |
| Kamakazie | ANyone here have a PSP? | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Yes Kamakazie | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 07:13 |
| Artemis3 | so it was pretty simple | 07:13 |
| tritium | roy_, linux-restricted-modules contains the nvidia driver. nvidia-glx is all that is required in additon to get nvidia working. | 07:13 |
| geneo93 | jordanau: 2 qts in 30 minutes | 07:13 |
| roy_ | oh | 07:13 |
| Quenyar | geneo93 - should I expect it to detect the modem and install a dialup client like RedHat uses, or is it different? | 07:13 |
| Kamakazie | Dr_Willis, You have any troubles transferring MP#'s to it using Ubuntu? | 07:14 |
| jordanau | of what beer i hope? | 07:14 |
| roy_ | I'm guessing that I can get nvidia-glx from the nvidia site? | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Kamakazie, not tried under Linux | 07:14 |
| DonL | Somebody mention beer? | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Kamakazie, I can go get it and reboot and try if you want. | 07:14 |
| DonL | Thirsty again | 07:14 |
| tritium | roy_, no, you can install it using apt, aptitude, synaptic... | 07:14 |
| geneo93 | Kamakazie: whats psp | 07:14 |
| jordanau | yeah DonL i am past or passed 5 beers and quit counting | 07:14 |
| Kamakazie | Play Station Portable | 07:14 |
| roy_ | are apt, aptitude, synaptic, are those kinds of updating apps? | 07:15 |
| Kamakazie | Dr_Willis, that would be very helpful | 07:15 |
| Quenyar | nvidia drivers get installed with their nvidia-installer that installs the drivers and a kernel package | 07:15 |
| DonL | Me too, jordanau , but who's counting. It's Saturday | 07:15 |
| jordanau | and about to be passed out | 07:15 |
| Arnia | geneo93: But should you? You can't make one-size-fits-all software (one of the reasons why open-source works so well I guess) so distributions should target different markets. I'm a fan of using the right tool for the right job, and that goes for distros too. | 07:15 |
| Arnia | geneo93: Look at programming languages -- all turing-complete languages are equivalent in power, but some are suited to some tasks better than others | 07:15 |
| hybrid | roy_they install update upgrade and remove programs | 07:15 |
| tritium | roy_, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BinaryDriverHowto/ | 07:15 |
| Artemis3 | whats your favorite laguange to introduce someone into programming? | 07:15 |
| jordanau | i am learning python right now, its the shit | 07:16 |
| geneo93 | Kamakazie: nnow why would i want that | 07:16 |
| Kamakazie | I didnt say you did | 07:16 |
| DonL | It does what urpmi does in Mandrake, if you know that one | 07:16 |
| Kamakazie | Its more of a full featured portable media center | 07:16 |
| jordanau | just like my bud-diesel | 07:16 |
| hybrid | Artemis3 i started with c++ then java but idk any gui with them | 07:16 |
| geneo93 | Arnia: python has power of all | 07:16 |
| Quinn_Storm | Artemis3: I'd reccomend python as well, simple to get used to and very powerful...yeah the whitespace thing can be annoying to some but its really a minor drawback. I've heard ruby is nice too but I haven't used it | 07:16 |
| Quenyar | artemis3 to introduce someone into what kind of programming? | 07:16 |
| Kamakazie | and there is a huge PSP Linux project starting up | 07:16 |
| jordanau | Artemis3, python man | 07:16 |
| Artemis3 | oh | 07:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Kamakazie, ok.. be back in a min. booting to linux | 07:17 |
| Kamakazie | thx | 07:17 |
| Artemis3 | ao many votes for python ^^ | 07:17 |
| hybrid | i am yet to learn python | 07:17 |
| jordanau | Artemis3, i also vote for beer | 07:17 |

| DonL | geneo93, urpmi has a whole bunch of limits | 07:17 |
| Quenyar | artemis3 - it depends on what they want to be able to do. Some people learn best with presentation layer programming, like GTK, while others do better in C++, java, or python | 07:18 |
| jordanau | Artemis3, what is their goal? | 07:18 |
| geneo93 | DonL: yes it does i use apt fist | 07:18 |
| DonL | I've lived with RPM for years, and didn't know what I was missing till I met up with apt-get | 07:18 |
| Quinn_Storm | I'd avoid showing anyone GTK/GLIB b/c its an ugly hack to add pseudo-OO code to C without C++ | 07:18 |

| adamZ | I'm learning HC11 assembly and I'm still really confused | 07:20 |
| hybrid | but assembly it powerfull | 07:20 |
| jordanau | hybrid, read and write c code a whole bunch then, you cant learn any other way | 07:20 |
| Arnia | geneo93: Python is one of my favourite languages... but I would use it for, say, writing a compiler (I'd use Haskell for that)... | 07:20 |
| Quinn_Storm | mc68k assembly for example is very straightforward | 07:20 |
| geneo93 | hybrid: save yourself some time learn python | 07:20 |

| jordanau | hybrid, whats in the red bull? | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Kamakazie, trying to FIND a mp3. :P all mine are ogg's | 07:28 |
| hybrid | umm.... | 07:28 |
| eclipse | how do i remove debian sub-menu in gnome? | 07:28 |
| hybrid | a lil bicardi | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | lol.. hmm.. my sound card is dead or somthing under linux.. wtf | 07:29 |
| Kamakazie | lol | 07:29 |
| jordanau | jager is better but bacardi will do | 07:29 |
| hybrid | lol | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Kamakazie, it worked fine | 07:29 |
| hybrid | bacardi and red bull is pretty good | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | You dident fill your memory card did ya? :P | 07:29 |
| Kamakazie | Dr_Willis, yes I can do one at a time as well | 07:30 |
| jordanau | a Kamakazie whouldnt be bad either although a shot on all these beers would suck | 07:30 |
| Kamakazie | but try to copy like 10 at a time | 07:30 |
| arthur | Well, with the warty release, I had problems getting my soundcard working and WiFi card up and running. In this release, it just works! The update feature is also really nice, as you just click on the control panel item, and it scans the net for them. I'm very very happy with this release. | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | i only got a 32mb card. :P | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | lets see | 07:30 |
| Kamakazie | and actually listen to them, to see if they got corrupted | 07:30 |
| jordanau | bacardi rum i assume, is it light run? | 07:30 |
| jordanau | run/rum | 07:30 |
| DonL | arthur, cool. Sounds good | 07:30 |
| hybrid | bacardi is vodka | 07:31 |

| DonL | Actually, to tell you the truth, I tried to do an update to a beta version a couple of months ago and ended up trashing my system, and then re-installing Warty | 07:31 |
| jordanau | cause i thought it was rum | 07:31 |
| hybrid | lol | 07:31 |
| arthur | Only thing that would be nice, is added support for touchpads in the mouse control panel. Disabling tapping would be something I'd love. lol. I'm very happy, so thank you everyone, and anyone wanting to dabble in this, just backup your info and take the plunge if you are not a super uber user of death who loves the Warty release ;-) | 07:31 |

| Dr_Willis | Kamakazie, 96 bit, 128 ect.. some encoders can do 'vbr' which not all players can handle. | 07:41 |
| hybrid | roy_ type in sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list in the console and you will see your repos | 07:41 |
| DonL | roy_, the most pleasant experience with apt-get can be had by starting "synaptic" in my humble opinion | 07:42 |
| roy_ | but not sure if it did the trick. the app's done, and the last thing it said was "Setting up nvidia glx (1.0.6111-1ubuntu9) ... [sic] " | 07:42 |
| DonL | ...although it's good to know the command line as well | 07:42 |

| hybrid | yes they are | 07:43 |

| hybrid | because they are "binary" | 07:43 |

| Xeon3D | 5 days ago.. I switched completely to Linux... | 08:05 |
| zenwhen_ | is there a way to force a downgrade of nvidia-glx? | 08:05 |
| john | wut is hia | 08:05 |
| john | this* | 08:05 |
| DonL | Back to the speed, simplicity, and beauty of Gnome | 08:05 |
| Xeon3D | Ubuntu linux must I say :D | 08:05 |
| root | I just finished "apt-get install nvidia-glx" and then "nvidia-glx-config enable", then restarted, but when X loads up, it's all garbled (in fact I swear I saw the "windows is shutting down" screen in the mix) | 08:05 |
| Xeon3D | and now I have around 140 GB of Unneeded Warez. | 08:05 |
| _pink | xconfig? how do i run that? | 08:05 |
| DonL | oh no, root not the blue screen of death? | 08:06 |
| Xeon3D | I've only checked on Linux from time to time.. just to see how well it was going... | 08:06 |
| root | not blue screen of death | 08:06 |
| Xeon3D | I've started with RH 5.2 and 400 sheets of printer paper | 08:06 |
| geneo91 | _pink: what do you have hoary or warty | 08:06 |

| root | the pleasant screen when you hit START>SHUT DOWN | 08:06 |
| _pink | 5.04 | 08:06 |
| _pink | i think its warty | 08:07 |
| Xeon3D | root, you should stop smoking that shit: "...I swear I saw the "windows is shutting down" screen in the mix)" | 08:07 |
| geneo91 | ok the xorg-server-config | 08:07 |
| DonL | Xeon3D, haha. Me too. On a machine that was woefully inept | 08:07 |
| root | lol | 08:07 |
| geneo91 | smoking is bad for you sex life | 08:08 |

| _pink | the xorg server config? so what do i type in to get that...and what does it do? | 08:08 |

| Marble2 | randabis and DonL, you here? | 08:09 |
| Jishi | hello everyone | 08:09 |
| Xeon3D | Theres another GREAT debian distro... which just isn't more popular because it's in Portuguese Language... | 08:09 |
| DonL | Started playing with live distros, based on Debian and loved them | 08:09 |
| bronson_ | I just installed Hoary and now every time a program tries to play a sound, it locks up until I kill it. | 08:09 |
| geneo91 | DonL: mandrake can be good if you know your way around there shit | 08:09 |
| DonL | Marble2, how's it going? | 08:09 |
| bronson_ | xmms, mplayer, mpg321, ... doesn't matter. | 08:09 |
| Xeon3D | DonL, you don't happen to know any portuguese or spanish do ya? | 08:09 |
| Marble2 | I think I just had a coronary, I went to try to repair my windows install and it WIPED OUT my entire windows install, left that disc blank, then installed windows on an ntfs partition that already had stuff on it | 08:10 |
| Marble2 | even though it didn't prompt me to | 08:10 |
| Marble2 | so now I have a fresh windows install | 08:10 |

| Marble2 | and on top of that, I think it overwrote lilo, because when I rebooted, I never got any lilo emnu, just straight to windows | 08:10 |
| zenwhen_ | is there a way to force a downgrade of nvidia-glx? | 08:10 |
| _pink | geneo91, how do i do this "xorg-server-config"? | 08:10 |
| === Arnia is so glad he doesn't use windows anymore | ||
| Xeon3D | I lost around 120 GB of "Datez.." | 08:10 |
| yfir | bronson: same happens to me, especially with mplayer and xmms. havent' figured out how to fix it yet | 08:10 |
| Jishi | can anyone help me install ati drivers or turn on my 3d acceleration? | 08:11 |
| Xeon3D | Arnia, so am I ... so am I. | 08:11 |
| geneo91 | bronson you dont haave the restricted formats installed thats why | 08:11 |
| bronson_ | it locks up?? | 08:11 |
| yfir | genoeo91: that's not why, at least not in my case | 08:11 |
| bronson_ | Maybe so. | 08:11 |
| Marble2 | Xeon3D: most of my Datez is still intact (different partitions) I did lose some of it + personal docs though | 08:11 |
| Xeon3D | zenwhen, apt-get remove everything..and install the nvidia drivers from the ubuntu CD | 08:11 |
| bronson_ | I'll check, but that's really weird. Why doesn't it say "unsupported format"? | 08:11 |
| DonL | Marble2, Oh No!!! Just what you didn't want to happen. Hopefully a Linux distro would have warned you in advance | 08:11 |
| _pink | can somebody help me??? what is xconfig? | 08:11 |
| Marble2 | I am so pissed | 08:12 |
| Marble2 | If this goddam windows cd made it so that I can't boot back to linux or even touched my ubuntu partition I am never using windows again | 08:12 |
| Marble2 | ever | 08:12 |
| tritium | _pink, areyou trying to configure xorg? | 08:12 |
| yfir | bronson: yes, i have system sounds, but xmms and mplayer both lock up about %75 of the time | 08:12 |
| DonL | Yay, Marble2 | 08:12 |
| Marble2 | I'll be right back, I have to go run lilo off of a knoppix cd and see if I can fix this mess. | 08:12 |
| Xeon3D | Marble if you installed Windows after ubuntu... | 08:12 |
| DonL | That's the stuff | 08:12 |
| geneo91 | bronson maybe something else then but you need gstreamer0.8 mad for mp3 | 08:12 |
| Xeon3D | then forget it.. you'll never be using windows again | 08:12 |
| Marble2 | Xeon3D, whys taht | 08:13 |
| DonL | You should try Grub again, Marble2 | 08:13 |
| _pink | i am trying to make the graphical version of ubuntu 5.04 work because every time i try to run it it just goes to "Cannot Display Video Mode" | 08:13 |
| DonL | It really does work better IMHO | 08:13 |
| bronson_ | geneo91: No, that doesn't make sense. | 08:13 |
| bronson_ | mpg321 locks up. | 08:13 |
| Marble2 | I'll see if I can even get into ubuntu | 08:13 |
| Marble2 | brb | 08:13 |
| geneo91 | just forget windows existed i did | 08:13 |
| bronson_ | It's definitely not a restricted format issue. | 08:13 |
| Xeon3D | windows erases the MBR each time you install it | 08:14 |
| Xeon3D | so GRUB went bye bye | 08:14 |

| crimsun | super_dude2: now play something | 10:25 |
| EvilIdler | When I do the first apt-get upgrade after a fresh install of Hoary, GLX stops working. Any ideas what breaks it? | 10:25 |
| LiberalTugboat | its not an incorrect claim, laptop support around the board in linux needs tons of work | 10:25 |
| calc | LiberalTugboat: so hacks have to be made to make each individual buggy pos laptop work under linux | 10:25 |
| bob2` | EvilIdler: did it upgrade your kernel? | 10:25 |
| super_dude2 | crimsun: ty ok ill try | 10:25 |
| bob2` | LiberalTugboat: "no acpi is stable in linux yet" is provably false | 10:25 |
| EvilIdler | bob2`: Nope. I'm still on the first reboot after initial install with the CD | 10:25 |
| bob2` | EvilIdler: did you redo the steps on wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:26 |
| calc | and btw all the acpi shit is directly microsofts fault | 10:26 |
| EvilIdler | bob2`: Done those many times :/ | 10:26 |
| calc | their aml compiler is junk | 10:26 |
| calc | and their acpi code is so loose that anything will work so vendors just write crap code and fix it enough to work with windows | 10:27 |

| bob2` | if they used intel's validating compiler, it would all suck a lot less | 10:27 |
| calc | bob2`: intel's compiler still misses a lot of stuff | 10:27 |
| calc | a lot of important stuff, but it does catch most of the really stupid bugs | 10:27 |
| EvilIdler | bob2`: xpdyinfo claims I have GLX, and removing the packages and using NVidia's installer makes no change. I get 2D, no 3D | 10:27 |
| calc | of course linux acpi already works around the really stupid stuff | 10:28 |
| bob2` | EvilIdler: "no 3d"? how so? black empty windows when you run glxgears? | 10:28 |
| calc | at least intel's compiler missed a lot of important stuff the last time i used it early last year | 10:28 |
| geneo91 | what if you dont have intel crap in your system | 10:28 |
| EvilIdler | bob2`: Whenever I run ANY GL program, including my own, I get this error: OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0 | 10:29 |
| === tritium [~rimbert@12-202-90-180.client.insightBB.com] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| calc | geneo91: intel wrote acpi spec so you are supposed to use intels compiler for aml (acpi dsdt language) regardless | 10:29 |
| EvilIdler | bob2`: xpdyinfo lists NV-GLX as installed and OK | 10:29 |
| calc | if you don't have acpi then you use whatever power management is on your non x86 box | 10:29 |
| bob2` | EvilIdler: ok, don't know then, sorry. I'd try asking on the list. | 10:29 |
| EvilIdler | bob2`: It looks like my only option to get 3D working is to not upgrade Hoary :/ | 10:29 |

| njs12345 | and learn C if you dont' know it already | 01:41 |

| pjm31 | true | 04:55 |
| Dreamer3 | bwlang: that's why i told his DSL | 04:55 |

| habib | does anyody knows why my sound r not working any more, after I apt-get gcc?!? | 04:55 |
| thoreauputic | t3h_j4n: you'll be fighting all the way to get it to install - damnsmall or debian are the way to go | 04:55 |
| t3h_j4n | so which is better DSL or Debia? | 04:55 |
| bwlang | Dreamer3: for no moving parts leaf is a great choice... | 04:56 |
| t3h_j4n | bah! but ubuntu is cool! | 04:56 |
| mvirkkil | Myrtti: Yeah | 04:56 |
| t3h_j4n | nah, i'll try DSL or Debian | 04:56 |
| thoreauputic | t3h_j4n: debian is more "normal" | 04:56 |
| bwlang | t3h_j4n: yeah... but you lose the coolness with such old hardware. | 04:56 |
| t3h_j4n | I don't like normal | 04:56 |

| bwlang | pjm31: i recommend a cheap digital camera... they're more flexible than a dedicated web cam | 04:58 |
| Dreamer3 | bwlang: one of the CD drives is a bit flakey, but i think it was a good deal :) | 04:58 |
| thoreauputic | t3h_j4n: for a minimal install with blackbox or fluxbox, yeah | 04:58 |
| thoreauputic | t3h_j4n: and use light apps | 04:58 |
| jc-denton | aaarggh | 04:59 |

| crimsun | jc-denton: apt-get linux-source-2.6.10 | 05:01 |
| jc-denton | as far as i understood i should be able to build fuse with linux-kernel-headers | 05:01 |
| jc-denton | but i can't | 05:01 |
| Dreamer3 | t3h_j4n: and if you want a newer version of the cool beaver editor that comes with it i've been working on "deaver" :) | 05:01 |
| pjm31 | join #Debian | 05:01 |
| thoreauputic | t3h_j4n: DSL would work fine, and the app choices are good | 05:01 |
| t3h_j4n | Dreamer3: That's er... a 'colourfull' name... | 05:01 |
| Dreamer3 | t3h_j4n: because beaver is moving to GTK2, but due to the small size DSL (in CD form -50mb) only has GTK1.2 :) | 05:01 |
| crimsun | jc-denton: apt-get install fuse-source | 05:01 |
| housetier | how do I mount a ntfs partition so that a user has ownerships and read write permissions on the files and directories? I already tried rw,user,uid=1000,gid=1000; it is mounted rw but the user cannot even read all the files. do I have to tweak this umask parameter somehow? (I have no understanding of how umask works) | 05:02 |
| Dreamer3 | t3h_j4n: what? deaver? | 05:02 |
| crimsun | jc-denton: install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 05:02 |
| Xappe | hmm, where is the world going? editing beavers... | 05:02 |
| jc-denton | i did | 05:02 |
| crimsun | jc-denton: then follow the directions in /usr/share/doc/fuse-source/ | 05:02 |
| t3h_j4n | Dreamer3: Yeah | 05:02 |
| jc-denton | yes | 05:02 |
| Dreamer3 | t3h_j4n: what's wrong with it? | 05:02 |
| jc-denton | its called linux-source | 05:02 |
| jc-denton | that was confusing | 05:02 |
| Dreamer3 | t3h_j4n: it can't stay beaver, since they're moving on | 05:02 |
| jc-denton | cos debian called it kernel-source | 05:02 |
| crimsun | jc-denton: you don't need linux-source to build it | 05:02 |
| Dreamer3 | t3h_j4n: but i like to acknowledge it's roots | 05:02 |
| t3h_j4n | Dreamer3: The name's fine.. it just sounds a bit... flaky | 05:02 |
| dabeej | is it hald that does that or something? | 05:02 |
| crimsun | jc-denton: yes well, this is Ubuntu... | 05:02 |
| t3h_j4n | Dreamer3: lol | 05:02 |
| jc-denton | and there are also packages called kernel-source | 05:02 |
| Dreamer3 | t3h_j4n: oh... it's sorta from sara deaver in sweet november :) | 05:03 |
| crimsun | jc-denton: and kernel-source are unsupported (in universe)... | 05:03 |
| bwlang | housetier: you need to learn about umask ... and keep in mind that nfs does not work based on user name... it works based on userid (user number) so you need to have unified pasword/shadow files or use NFS/ldap/etc for your user database | 05:03 |
| Dreamer3 | t3h_j4n: plus it rhymes with beaver | 05:03 |
| t3h_j4n | Dreamer3: Very poetic | 05:03 |

| bwlang | housetier: when i get botherd i'll stop answering... ntfs can support concept of userid, umask etc for permissions. on a mount point i think. It's read only anyway unless you're really living on the edge. | 05:07 |
| thoreauputic | t3h_j4n: scite, beaver or nedit are good on low ram machines | 05:07 |
| Dreamer3 | thoreauputic: is there a gtk 1.2 version of scite? | 05:07 |
| Dreamer3 | thoreauputic: if so i'll get it and compile it and check it out | 05:07 |

| thoreauputic | t3h_j4n: supposedly a measure of how many times per sec a cpu can do nothing ;-) | 05:17 |
| mvirkkil | t3h_j4n: It's just a really crude performance number of your cpu. Not very accurate, but will give you a general idea. | 05:18 |

| LadyRoot | cored, e.g. oo --writer | 05:22 |
| thoreauputic | cored: or ooimpress or whatever | 05:22 |
| kent | libben, you can use grep to search for stuff from inside one or more files. Like "grep hello file.txt" will search that file for the word hello. But, if you dont know which file, then grep is not usefull; that is, if you dont know at all where the file is. But, hdparm.conf should be in /etc/ some where.. *hint* | 05:22 |

| jordanau | t3h_j4n, what is sad? | 06:47 |

| burgermann | :S, I have a gcc library in /usr/lib/gcc, but there doesn't seem to be any gcc compiler anywhere :S, does anyone know where it could be? | 11:33 |
| tony | when picking a linux distro, you make a choice between "install easily once and forget maintenance" and "install a bit harder, but at least you have control over packages and can make your own easily if you need non-standard stuff". | 11:33 |
| killlyou | im pissed more packages arent supported by ubuntu. | 11:33 |

| yahalom | cartel_, y did u ask me about my linux knowledge? | 11:33 |
| spacey | its really anyoing that ubuntu hasn't compiled the ftp clients with ssl support | 11:33 |
| thoreauputic | killlyou: over 15 000 not enough? | 11:33 |
| spacey | tony, i think you chose both when you pick ubuntu | 11:34 |
| roo__ | killlyou, which packages are you looking for? | 11:34 |
| tony | spacey, tls-ftp is quite unusual. mostly warez-monkeys running glftpd and similar use it. the STANDARD for encrypted ftp is sftp. | 11:34 |
| yahalom | thoreauputic, well like lets say i recommend customers to use ubuntu, because it easy, however i want debian as i prefer a totally self customised distro...example | 11:34 |
| thoreauputic | burgermann: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 11:34 |

| spacey | tony, but i don't see a reason why package stuff is harder in ubuntu then debian | 11:36 |
| tony | spacey, uses a VERY easy build system called abs. You edit a textfile with url to source and some basic install instructions, and then type "makepkg" in the same directory. a few minutes later you have a package you can install along with your other packages. | 11:36 |

| tony | thoreauputic, lspnp is part of pcmcia-cs package, but seems to be broken. | 11:48 |
| Servo888 | How would you go about installing a 'raw' ubuntu, with out the gnome interface? | 11:48 |
| EvilIdler | Kikyo1: Those installers normally manage to find the CD on their own. Try not mounting manually? | 11:49 |
| andreas_ | Is there a RSS reader that shows the latest entries on the desktop? | 11:49 |
| andreas_ | For KDE that is | 11:49 |
| tony | probably a million superkaramba themes, andreas. | 11:49 |
| LeeJunFan | Servo888: do a server install. | 11:49 |
| tony | andreas_, check kde-look.org | 11:49 |
| chavo | Servo888, you can do a server install, type server at the prompt | 11:49 |
| thoreauputic | tony: isapnptools is in universe on warty - you mean you already installed it and tried with no success? | 11:49 |
| Servo888 | chavo, ok | 11:49 |
| tony | thoreauputic, i run hoary. | 11:50 |
| andreas_ | tony: Never tried karamba before. Is it difficult? | 11:50 |
| thoreauputic | tony: it isn't in hoary universe?? | 11:50 |
| tony | oh, universe. wait. | 11:50 |
| Kikyo1 | EvilIdler: How do you mean not manually? Is there another way to mount ISO files? (Sorry I'm quite the newbie. :)) | 11:50 |
| tony | andreas_, no, not if you find a working package. | 11:50 |
| burgermann | btw. I have a basic question to synaptic.. When I search for something, like apache, some installations seems to appear, but how does synaptic know about these installations? | 11:50 |
| andreas_ | tony: any suggestions+ | 11:51 |

| Bazzi- | burgermann it downloads information | 11:51 |
| thoreauputic | burgermann: from the updates | 11:51 |
| khantozavri | hey, guys, need your help | 11:51 |
| === flores [~flores@200.175.65.173.adsl.gvt.net.br] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| fraggsta | burgermann: it tends to download updated package information every day | 11:51 |
| EvilIdler | Kikyo1: Those installers base on LokiInstaller can find the CD-ROM themselves, at least in newer editions. If you type in mount commands, it might interfere with the installation | 11:51 |
| andreas_ | tony: apt-get shows both karamba as well as superkaramba. Are they different programs+ | 11:51 |
| === darGor [~dg@200-55-113-170.dsl.prima.net.ar] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| tony | yes. karamba is not being developed anymore, afaik. | 11:51 |
| andreas_ | ok | 11:52 |
| fraggsta | andreas_: use "apt-cache show <something>" as well as apt-cache search | 11:52 |

| burgermann | So none-experienced users actually only needs to learn about the way synaptic and apt-get works and they can install must common applications without building them first? | 11:52 |
| khantozavri | i've just installed fresh hoary rc1 | 11:52 |
| Kikyo1 | EvilIdler: The problem is, my CDs are dislocated. All I found was the BG2 manual, so I got my hands on the CDs in ISO-format until I can locate my CDs. So I can't put CDs in. :( | 11:52 |
| thoreauputic | burgermann: exactly | 11:52 |
| Kikyo1 | EvilIdler: I have paid for the box in the past though. | 11:53 |
| burgermann | That's folking brilliant | 11:53 |
| === Bloody|RLC [~puzo__@212.1.237.250] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| khantozavri | and when I go to www.sapikhvno.org (which is in utf8 georgian language) i see only codes instead of font... how do I get it fixed? | 11:53 |
| burgermann | it beats windows by far... if it works that is :P | 11:53 |
| EvilIdler | Kikyo1: I've paid for those Bioware games twice in some cases :) | 11:53 |
| thoreauputic | burgermann: oh, it works alright | 11:54 |
| yfir | burgerman: it works. thank the Debian and apt people... | 11:54 |
| EvilIdler | Kikyo1: You could try copying all the contents of all the CDs to one directory | 11:54 |
| thoreauputic | burgermann: in fact it works *very* well | 11:54 |
| slask3n | does the repository described in "Method 0" in https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Java , for warty work on hoary as well? | 11:54 |
| EvilIdler | Kikyo1: Running setup from that might treat it like the DVD edition | 11:54 |
| Artemis3 | when is the release coming? | 11:54 |
| yfir | Artemis3: probably April 8th | 11:54 |
| queuetue | I apparently have a bad cd-rom drive (the cd is fine.) and the install keeps failing because it can't find packages, dropping me into the "expert" interface. Is there some way to switch to a network install? | 11:54 |
| thoreauputic | Artemis3: about April 8th | 11:54 |
| Artemis3 | thanks | 11:54 |
| Kikyo1 | EvilIdler: Yeah I know they're worth it. :) But, I'm quite out of cash at the moment (Buying NWN the edition with all the expansions tomorrow) Then I'm broke for a week. Heh. Oh.. hmm, like extract ISO 1-4 in a folder and then put the .run file there? | 11:55 |
| === tony enables universe | ||
| Kikyo1 | EvilIdler: Because setup.exe complains about installshields ikernel.exe | 11:55 |
| === thoreauputic applauds tony | ||
| EvilIdler | Kikyo1: Mount each ISO in turn, copy contents in same folder, do not overwrite | 11:55 |
| burgermann | Oki i'm making some selections in Synaptic and now it a dialog says its installing. It said the same thing when i "installed" gcc, but gcc wasn't really install at all. How does that work? Before I could use gcc I had to type something like apt-get [=something i can't remember, but worked] | 11:56 |
| thoreauputic | burgermann: look for build-essential | 11:56 |

| keffo | argh, im my memory is short.. if i downloaded a iconpackage | 11:56 |
| burgermann | Yea build-essential, that's it | 11:56 |
| === darGor [~dg@200-55-113-170.dsl.prima.net.ar] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| tony | hooray, pnpdump! | 11:56 |
| keffo | where do i out this folder then? | 11:56 |
| Kikyo1 | EvilIdler: Okey, thanks :) I'll give it a try! :) | 11:56 |
| yfir | Kikyol: sorry, a bit off topic, but does NWN have a linux version?? | 11:56 |
| burgermann | Why doesn't synaptic do that by it self? | 11:56 |
| khantozavri | helllllooooooooooooooooo, anybody to give me a hand? | 11:57 |
| === yfir claps | ||
| EvilIdler | Kikyo1: It worked for me with one edition of BG1, actually, so it's worth a try :) | 11:57 |
| thoreauputic | burgermann: gcc is only part of the packages for build-essential | 11:57 |
| thoreauputic | burgermann: e,g. g ++ etc | 11:57 |
| Kikyo1 | EvilIdler: Okay :) | 11:57 |

| burgermann | Hmnn, don't get it and not sure I have to? :S.. well I selected apache in synaptic, it fetched some packages and seemed to install them.. what do I then do? | 11:58 |
| khantozavri | I can't see utf8 georgian font | 11:59 |
