| fazer | delire, .xsession isn't created by default? | 12:08 |

| Fazer | I am on t athinkpad. | 12:51 |
| delire | thoreauputic i know the latter can be fiddly | 12:51 |
| thoreauputic | delire: I think good old serial is still better for dialup | 12:51 |
| ztonzy | what I have found | 12:51 |
| EddieX | Hmmm how did i add another wm to gdm session ? Cant remember + forums are down :) | 12:51 |
| delire | thoreauputic hmm ok. i've never had too much problem with either i guess | 12:51 |
| zyga | Fazer: could you run synaptic and ctrl+f (search) for ndiswrapper? | 12:52 |
| thoreauputic | delire: trying to find the usb modem can be a pain, and pppconfug doesn't know about them | 12:52 |

| delire | thoreauputic ahah | 12:52 |
| ztonzy | delire, can you tip any good model/brand ? | 12:52 |
| ztonzy | USB modem ? | 12:52 |
| delire | ztonzy well if your serial modem is working don't touch it | 12:52 |
| EddieX | I figured it out | 12:53 |
| Fazer | zyga, i see it, so do i install ndiswrapper-utils only? | 12:53 |
| mcphail | Fazer: yes | 12:53 |
| ztonzy | delire, it is detected instantly by Ubuntu...problem is however the settings for the ISP...dunno how to fix those | 12:53 |
| Fazer | how about ndiswrapper-source? | 12:53 |
| delire | ztonzy thoreauputic makes me feel like i've been lucky with usb modems. | 12:53 |
| thoreauputic | ztonzy: FWIW, I suggest you get a bog-standard hardwarw serial port dialup modem | 12:53 |
| zyga | Fazer: you don't need the source | 12:53 |
| mcphail | Fazer: no | 12:53 |

| delire | ztonzy pulse/tone dialing? | 12:54 |

| Fazer | zyga, I have a broadcom card as well | 12:55 |
| Fazer | ryman, try VLC? | 12:55 |
| mcphail | Fazer: you'll get it first time only. It'll make the directory | 12:55 |
| ztonzy | thoreauputic & delire , so that's they main thing that stops me from installing Ubuntu into her computer right now | 12:55 |
| zyga | Fazer: it is detected by ndiswrapper (hardware present, driver present) | 12:55 |
| ryman | Fazer[] I have totem | 12:56 |
| zyga | Fazer: wlan0 appears but it doesn't work | 12:56 |
| thoreauputic | ztonzy: the latter observations are irrelevant for linux, but if it dials and connects, it should be just a question of choosing pap or chap or whatever | 12:56 |

| Fazer_ | mcphail: yes, that is as soon as you plug it in. | 01:29 |
| Fazer_ | mcphail: But it isn't even seeing it as present (the hardware) | 01:29 |
| mcphail | Fazer_: it saw it ok with the other driver? | 01:29 |
| Fazer_ | mcphail: yeah... | 01:30 |
| Fazer_ | mcphail: but even then...still no lights? | 01:30 |
| Fazer_ | so I am going to delete this and then try to instal that one =/ | 01:30 |
| limer | polaritius, iirc - knoppix has an option to do memtest when booting | 01:30 |
| cens0red | smouche inexplicable! gmplayer just stalled, and sat there hogging cpu. I killed it in the terminal, then bang! I've got the gnome login screen infront of me. | 01:30 |
| mcphail | Fazer_: you could try again with the .inf file without the "a", but that one caused my kernel to panic. | 01:30 |
| Fazer_ | mcphail: hmm...there is a file without the 'a' in the same directory | 01:31 |

| Polaritius | current memory is 2100 but i can go up to 3200 | 01:50 |
| dcraven | Fazer, don't forget to unload the old module (modprobe -r ndiswrapper) before you plug in the new one. And blow away the Windows drivers in /etc/ndiswrapper. It's best to reinstall them with the new set. | 01:50 |
| thoreauputic | ryman: what does ` apt-cache search w32codecs ` return? | 01:50 |
| thechitowncubs | I love ubuntu | 01:51 |
| stuNNed | how do i enable firefox plugins? plugins exist in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins dir but they aren't being used. | 01:51 |

| resiak | noxlord: You want to stop X? That's not how you do it on Ubuntu | 01:51 |
| dcraven | Fazer, depends what you think is alot. I don't think it is. Apt will tell you how much space it will take before it starts downloading. | 01:51 |
| Pluk | noxlord, init 3 | 01:51 |
| thechitowncubs | Ubuntu has such a good community | 01:51 |
| thoreauputic | noxlord: yes, but it won't do anything in ubuntu | 01:51 |

| thoreauputic | ryman: well, you have them then | 01:52 |
| dcraven | Is that what synaptic is telling you? It knows better than I do. | 01:52 |
| glens | anyone have any idea what might cause gnome 5 minutes before it shows the menu after I've logged in? | 01:52 |

| Polaritius | limer: i have no idea what im doing with system settings ill figure it out tho, like you said tho its running well with 128 ram too, im very surprised | 01:58 |

| dcraven | MMond, not much chance of that. Source code is the program in human-readable text. Compilers compile source code into a language (binary) that the machine understands but humans can't. Decompiling brings the code to somewhere in the middle. | 03:37 |
| MMond | But many must be after the source . . . just for the heck of it . . . | 03:38 |
| astro76 | MMond: absolutely not, the warez is easily purchased, therefore easily shared, the source code is however only privy to employees, and guarded by non-disclosure agreements | 03:38 |

| fazer | mcphail: dcraven's how to | 03:39 |
| fazer | dcraven: me too! | 03:39 |
| dcraven | mcphail, he compiled the newer version of ndiswrapper. | 03:39 |
| mcphail | aah | 03:39 |
| MMond | I was recently tweaking with the SAM file of Windows XP . . . I'm a total nub and I was able to decrypt the administrator password of a Windows XP machine. Can something, for the passwords . . . in some sense, be used here? To strengthen the password . . . perhaps in some way . . . even tag along a whole gosh darn binary contained password? And yet within . . . have a stronger algorithmic-coded password? | 03:40 |
| MMond | I think I understand the concept of 'binary' to a 'source' -- just probably not using the words in the way I want to | 03:41 |
| dcraven | fazer, same deal with me and the ndiswrapper binary that came on the Ubuntu CD.. It looked like it should be working, but never could see the AP. I compiled version 1.1 and it worked immediately. | 03:41 |
| mcphail | MMond: i only understood 15% of that | 03:41 |
| fazer | dcraven: yeah same here | 03:41 |
| thoreauputic | MMond: linux has a shadow file for passwords, and all passwords are encrypted as well | 03:41 |
| dcraven | mcphail, well that's 10% more than me. | 03:42 |
| mcphail | lol | 03:42 |
| fazer | dcraven: sound is the only issue for me now | 03:42 |
| thoreauputic | MMond: password cracking programs exist, of course, and are usfeful for testing the strength of passwords | 03:42 |
| LLM | stupid question, how do i uninstall web services from ubuntu? | 03:42 |
| dcraven | MMond, I'll write you a program in C that just prints out "Hello World". I'll send you the binary and the source. You open them both in gedit and see if you can see the difference :) | 03:42 |
| fazer | dcraven: oh, and I can delete all those .debs and that folder that were created during the process? | 03:43 |
| MMond | Okay . . . the password, in Windows XP is saved in the 'SAM file' which can be easily decrypted . . . brute force, is always an option. Another way is to try and decipher the algorithm . . . but that gets a bit more compilcated. What I'm trying to say is . . . couldn't you potentially make a password -- that would be "contained" in a binary file -- merely for the reason that the password then will be _stronger_ | 03:43 |
| LLM | ive installed, DHCP, Apache, MySQL and i dont need them anymore | 03:43 |
| dcraven | fazer, did you try the good ol' alsamixer to see if the channels are muted? | 03:43 |

| mcphail | MMond: the only difference between a binary and a text file is how newlines are interpreted | 03:44 |

| MMond | Okay, the more ultimate question I'm trying to get at: Instead of passwords being really very simply . . . let's call the password a "key" for a second here . . . can you not just enlarge the key - to the level that it would be impossible to decrypt? I don't want the password to be simple "text" . . . but maybe . . . "text" within a program . . . a text, surrounded by more source code . . . along set of strings, impossible to decrypt then . | 03:50 |
| MMond | . . it would be big, yes, the password . . . instead of a few kilobytes . . maybe megabytes.. but the security will be at another level then, no? | 03:50 |

| fuentes | holycow, Well, this install was on a regular athlon, then I transferred the drives - but that should not be a problem, should it? | 04:06 |
| holycow | t figure out if it was my cd being borked or the packages are hosed, but basically theres a bunch of dependencies either not compiled or borked in amd64 repositories | 04:06 |
| MMond | hypno: Yes . . . indeed, if a perfect algorithm was put to place (supposedly, impossible to decipher) then yes . . . the only way left to get to that password would be brute force. Instead of the password being that . . . if a system was created that would create random and smart source code . . . that would surround the _password_ with it . . . then to "crack" the password . . . an outsider would have to first decompile the binary (as it w | 04:06 |
| MMond | ill be when finalized) . . . and then decipher the password . . . but that source code that would had been surrounded around the password . . . just make that source code . . . at the other end over the adequate verification system . . . just like Adobe Reader . . . my Adobe Reader can understand the pdf stuff . . . | 04:06 |

| jr_G-man | xorg.conf | 04:25 |
| g14 | MMond: Great encryption is expensive (takes lots of cpu time) less encryption is easier to crack | 04:25 |
| g14 | MMond: there will never be a perfect algorithm just there will never be a "secure" computer | 04:26 |
| MMond | So -- great encryption, by the verification system takes a longer time system to decipher on its part as well? (although, I imagine, still very minimal) | 04:26 |

| yfir | Marble2: best not to kill it :) | 04:51 |
| Phoenix_Zero | lizardcry: double click on their name | 04:51 |
| holycow | Phoenix_Zero, really? weird. okay well let me outline a couple of things so that you know what ot look for. | 04:51 |
| Phoenix_Zero | their name in the side window that is | 04:51 |
| thoreauputic | lizardcry: type their name (use tab complete) | 04:51 |
| NigelS | lizardcry: start typing their name and press tab :) | 04:51 |
| Phoenix_Zero | thank you very much holycow | 04:51 |
| g14 | MMond: ASM is very close to pure machine code, as a result, you need to know how to move data around in memory. This makes it very difficult to program | 04:51 |
| lizardcry | thoreauputic, doh | 04:52 |
| holycow | a: your xorg.conf file only specificies the 'possible' resolutions it doesn't tell gdm or x which one to use by default | 04:52 |
| lizardcry | NigelS, got it. | 04:52 |
| g14 | MMond: Python is very easy to learn. It does alot of work (behind the scenes) for you. | 04:52 |
| thoreauputic | lizardcry: did I misunderstand? | 04:52 |
| holycow | b: you don't start x by default, you actually start gdm which then starts x | 04:52 |
| g14 | MMond: ASM is very low level whereas Python is very high level | 04:52 |
| Phoenix_Zero | what is gdm holycow? | 04:52 |
| Jerub | I'm really really stressed out, my laptop has died, and the only way I can instlal anything on it is via netboot. | 04:52 |
| lizardcry | thoreauputic, nope. I made fun of myself for not knowing ... | 04:52 |
| Jerub | becuase I don't have the external cdrom for the laptop model. | 04:53 |
| queuetue | Are there seperate repositories for AMD64? | 04:53 |
| thoreauputic | lizardcry: ah, OK :) | 04:53 |
| holycow | c: gdm is a program that controls the session, its the application that you type your user pass into, its not the same as gnome or x btw, its a separate app | 04:53 |
| Phoenix_Zero | Im sorry Jerub.. | 04:53 |
| MMond | And a more random question: About 2 months ago, I got the "Linux in a nutshell" book . . . it said, that one of the three reasons people want to use Linux is: 1) It's free 2) I forgot precsiely, but I think it may had been that it was stable, or for its open source, and ultimately, powerful choices of extensiblity 3) It's small . . . -- small? Keep in mind, that it has been only 2 weeks since I've started using Linux . . . it's not small! N | 04:53 |
| Jerub | is there a way to netboot+install ubuntu ? | 04:53 |
| MMond | ot smaller than Windows anyways . . . my laptop (which I chose, merely for "experimenting" and playing around with linux for) had windows before and it had much more free space | 04:53 |
| === Phoenix_Zero gives Jerub a wonderful wonderful cake | ||
| yfir | Phoenix_Zero: gdm is the 'gnome display manager' - it's basically your graphical login screen and the prog that starts your xsession | 04:53 |
| sadneophite | thoreauputic is there an ubuntu site for specific hardware problems... like could I write up an ubuntu help or something | 04:53 |
| Phoenix_Zero | Im using kde... | 04:53 |
| sadneophite | BOOOOOO! | 04:53 |
| MMond | And oh-- I only read .. maybe about 10 pages of that book . . . I wouldn't be speaking such things of idiocy had I completed it ;D | 04:53 |
| holycow | d: your using kdm then, it does the same thing | 04:53 |
| Phoenix_Zero | holycow: here it came to the part where it fails "Executing 'grub-install (hd0) failed' this is a fatal error" | 04:53 |
| thoreauputic | sadneophite: the wiki , I guess | 04:53 |
| holycow | e: shut the 'f' up and let me finish, k? | 04:54 |
| holycow | :) | 04:54 |
| holycow | k. | 04:54 |
| sadneophite | well I gave fazer my patented fix | 04:54 |
| g14 | Everyone knows that gnome or openbox are the best 2 desktop environments / wms out there. Lets not start a KDE Gnome flamewar :P | 04:54 |
| sadneophite | he has the same computer I do hahah | 04:54 |
| robitaille | sadneophite, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HardwareSupport | 04:54 |
| GammaRay | g14: openbox? pfft! | 04:54 |
| Phoenix_Zero | k, listening | 04:54 |
| yfir | g14: fluxbox!!! dammit!! | 04:54 |
| thoreauputic | MMond: a default linux install usually includes many apps - on windows you get notepad and internet explorer... | 04:54 |
| hien | MMond: The Linux you're running is a specific distro, meaning someone's chosen what to include in it. | 04:55 |
| g14 | yfir: I HATE the tabs. Openbox is way better! | 04:55 |
| holycow | f: kdm then takes your login/pass, authenticates, starts either gnome or kde, and then kde tells 'x' to resize to either highest res (this is when you first login) or it uses the last resolution (if its like the second time you log in and have said you want your res to be 800x600 @ 75 hz for example) | 04:55 |

| holycow | Phoenix_Zero, if i can't help fix the issue that should let you deduce the problem later y our self ... | 04:56 |

| MMond | Mmmmhmm . . . got it. I do have lots of apps . . . makes sense. Happy answer that sums up and makes sense.. thanks :) | 04:56 |
| g14 | yfir: I actually like it better that flux but this is linux... to each his own | 04:56 |
| Phoenix_Zero | just white lines holycow | 04:56 |

| MMond | thoreauputic: While we are on the topic -- someone stated, to "reset," the password of Windows XP . . . one could boot from Linux, find way to the SAM file . . . and change the password. I actually tried the Ubuntu Linux for this . . . I could not access to it . . . or rather, /mnt/ was empty . . . that made no sense -- could you please explain what might be going on here? Something specific with the Live CD? | 04:59 |
| DocUb | Fazer: how's ubuntu treating you? | 04:59 |
| g14 | GammaRay: I am running XFCE with nautilus for the desktop / icons right now | 04:59 |
| nomasteryoda | MMond, since XP is installed on NTFS and Ubunu only reads NTFS, that is the reason | 04:59 |
| thoreauputic | MMond: I haven't used the live ubuntu CD - but knoppix can do it easily | 04:59 |
| Marble2 | how can I create a .deb file from a .tar.gz? | 05:00 |
| g14 | MMond: There is something better than that | 05:00 |
| nomasteryoda | MMond, there are customized bootables for just that purpose | 05:00 |
| thoreauputic | MMond: you have to mount the partition of course, read/write | 05:00 |
| fazer | DocUb, fine, fine, I wa able to get my soundcard to work, but still wiating on sound. And it is laggy when I try to move windows around. | 05:00 |
| DocUb | what theme are you using? | 05:00 |
| DocUb | and do you have gtk2 installed? | 05:00 |
| holycow | MMond, just do fdisk or fdisk -l, or some other command to find /devices and parittions | 05:00 |
| nomasteryoda | fazer, at least it works | 05:00 |
| mainer | marble2: alien -d filename | 05:00 |
| MMond | <nomasteryoda> MMond, since XP is installed on NTFS and Ubunu only reads NTFS, that is the reason <-- Was that a paradox, or am I a fool? | 05:00 |
| thoreauputic | Marble2: that depends on whether it's a binary or source code | 05:01 |
| holycow | MMond, then just add the partition to your /etc/fstab and point it to the FOLDER you created for that partition in /mnt | 05:01 |
| MMond | Ahh | 05:01 |
| holycow | MMond, otherwise google how tomount partitions / hd's under linux | 05:01 |

| GnuKemist | Don2, I got the new firmware from http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net and copied them to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware and it just started working after a reboot | 05:12 |
| Marble2 | or you could do sudo passwd root to set a password, but you don't need to | 05:12 |

| DocUb | lemme check | 05:49 |
| holycow | finally got vmware installed on an ubuntu system on a p300, 400 megs ram | 05:49 |
| holycow | woot | 05:49 |

| holycow | :) it's not so bad infact, responsive enough, its not 10ghz system but so what | 05:49 |
| GnuKemist | Don2, and you should be only copying files over to the folder | 05:49 |
| holycow | ubuntu, you don't sleep much, do you? | 05:49 |
| dcraven | super_dude2, then the file isn't there. | 05:49 |

| DR_K13 | hey runt | 07:48 |
| chaitatp | anyway i still dunno how to add more font to xchat | 07:48 |
| runt | hi DR_K13 | 07:48 |
| jirwin | runt...I had the same problem | 07:48 |
| holycow | linux_galore, yeah it does, i'm using a ps2 kb through a kvm switch right now infact ... not this box | 07:48 |
| jirwin | make sure that your xorg.conf has your monitor scan rates in there | 07:49 |
| neighborlee | runt, gotta be sure your monitor was discovered properly ...and make double sure xorg.conf has all the resoltions you want under the xbit you are using | 07:49 |
| neighborlee | yup | 07:49 |
| nickrud | runt, just what model is your monitor? | 07:49 |
| geneo93 | i have kvm here and works great | 07:49 |
| runt | samsung 955df | 07:50 |
| linux_galore | runt: need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file add the resolution you need that matches your "defaultColorDepth" | 07:50 |
| runt | it doesn't have the horizontal and vertical refresh rates in it | 07:50 |
| jirwin | runt, that is your problem | 07:50 |
| jirwin | look them up, and put them in there | 07:50 |
| Cred | Hello. Does someone have an idea why Firefox crashes when it asks if I want to permit SSL certificate installation? | 07:50 |
| runt | well, i ran xorgconfig before and when i put those in, xorg wouldn't work | 07:50 |
| runt | i have them in front of me (actually, i memorized them), but i don't remember the syntax to add them | 07:51 |
| linux_galore | runt: editing the xorg.conf file is easy its plain text | 07:51 |
| DR_K13 | lol | 07:51 |
| runt | i know, i have it open | 07:51 |
| nickrud | so do a google on samsung 955df HorzSync, you'll probably find a matcing config file | 07:51 |
| linux_galore | runt: look for this first "DefaultColorDepth" | 07:51 |
| jirwin | I believe it is "HorizSync, and VertRefresh" | 07:52 |
| runt | DefaultColorDepth is at 24, right where i want it | 07:52 |
| linux_galore | runt: read the number | 07:52 |
| nickrud | jirwin: thanks | 07:52 |
| linux_galore | runt: in my case its "24" as in DefaultColorDepth 24 | 07:52 |
| jirwin | under Section "Monitor" | 07:53 |
| runt | that is what mine says too, and under the config for resolutions for that color depth, it lists the one i want ot use, i just can't choose it :( | 07:53 |
| linux_galore | runt: now I look for this section | 07:53 |
| linux_galore | Subsection "Display" | 07:53 |
| linux_galore | Depth 24 | 07:53 |
| linux_galore | Virtual 1280 1024 | 07:53 |
| linux_galore | EndSubsection | 07:53 |
| linux_galore | EndSection | 07:53 |
| linux_galore | runt: as you can see i only have one setting in there | 07:53 |
| runt | don't have the virtual part | 07:53 |
| linux_galore | runt: thats because its all I have | 07:54 |
| jirwin | runt, did you put in the refresh rates? | 07:54 |
| runt | just did now | 07:54 |
| runt | be right back, gonna exit x and try again | 07:54 |
| jirwin | now log out of gnome and press ctrl-alt-backspace | 07:54 |

| evilmegaman | What will that do exactly? | 08:03 |
| eEye | Turn off the sound server of gnome | 08:03 |
| Burgundavia | evilmegaman, that kills the sound server, as the games don't know it is there and try to access /dev/dsp directly | 08:03 |

| mactiny | i agree that it is very clean and uncluttered, which is in itself very good, but i do believe that in the area of personality, novice users cant appreciate ubuntu as a whole, in their minds, they cant see the glorious underpinnings, their minds are purely stuck on how it looks and feels.( initially of course). I guess its kinda arrogant of me to try and tell you gusy what to do, when i am not willing to do it myself, i just have felt thi | 11:07 |
| mactiny | some time now. I guess my feelings stem from the fact that if ubuntu looked simply amazing, the uptake would be much more. But enough ranting on my side, i do appreciate all that you guys are doing and have achieved. | 11:07 |

| sdogi | claint: the names in there are with some tag.. like S20kdm ...S means start and 20 is the order... like when there would be S07postfix also, postfix would start before the kdm | 01:00 |
| claint | sdogi: that command changes from distro to distro you know. | 01:00 |

| zenwhen | a virus, which is by definition a self propagating program, would be rather hard to write for a linux platform. To do any real damage it would have to run with root privs. To be run at boot, to do any damage to core system files, or to effect your useage of network resources, a virus would have to run as root. One would have to be horribly incompetent to get a virus on a Linux system and a virus writer w | 02:53 |
| zenwhen | ould have to want to waste a lot of time to write a real linux "virus". While there are rootkits for Linux, they also require root access and you would have to be completely compromised to wind up with one. | 02:53 |

| Burge | hi, i'm after some advice. I have 3 computers (XP, Ubuntu and FC3) and would like to be able to connect to each one's desktop (like VNC). Thing is, I don't have monitors on the Linux machines and would like ot just turn on the PCs without needing to log-in to a user session first, which I believe means VNC isn't appropriate | 07:09 |
| FlimFlamMan | i'd be interested in using it if it weren't a detriment to debian | 07:09 |
| dr_willis | Burgundavia, if you say so., :P the chats ive heard about it seem in this channel seem to consider the issue a non-issue. | 07:09 |
| Burgundavia | FlimFlamMan, I don't see Ubuntu as a net detriment to debian | 07:10 |

| dr_willis | is it good for debian, is it bad.. - interesting points are beeing made on both sides. | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | mishof, with 'unrar' | 07:10 |
| Burgundavia | FlimFlamMan, easier to get a package into ubuntu that debian | 07:10 |
| Burgundavia | mishof, need unrar-nonfree | 07:10 |

| Burgundavia | FlimFlamMan, should be able to. Sarge has older packages than Ubuntu | 07:12 |
| FlimFlamMan | actually that's kind of a silly question i guess, since sid != sarge | 07:12 |
| Burgundavia | LeeColleton, I did a quick google and I couldn't see any | 07:12 |
| dr_willis | mifune, an old card then eh? it should be seen/detected fairly easially. check 'dmesg' output - see if it mentions the card at all? | 07:12 |
| Burgundavia | LeeColleton, but you may be able to find one by a more extensive search | 07:12 |

| Burgundavia | LeeColleton, nor to any package descriptions mention it | 07:12 |
| mishof | i try to use unrar, but it fails to extract. probably because the files inside the rar file are in hebrew. any ideas ? | 07:12 |
| dr_willis | in in hebrew shouldent matter. | 07:13 |
| Burgundavia | mishof, is there a page I can download these and try then myself? | 07:13 |
| darkx | did the ubuntu device database come around in hoary final? was it in the preview hoary iso? | 07:13 |

| djm62 | akk: what's left to solve, then? | 07:38 |
| akk | djm62: Is that a bug worth reporting? That it sets up a desktop with all those options even in expert mode, but they don't work? | 07:38 |

| danko123456 | And I set up the other for pppoe | 07:40 |
| djm62 | akk: it's not a "bug" to allow experts to make their system temporarily broken....but it is a bug to force non-experts to use expert mode | 07:40 |
| liable | danko123456: try ifup eth0 | 07:40 |
| danko123456 | And it works when my LAN is off. | 07:40 |
| akk | djm62: Unfortunately expert mode is the only option if you need to do things like skip the networking step, on a machine where it won't work. | 07:40 |

| dori | danko123456: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LVM | 07:40 |
| akk | djm62: Or skip installing the bootloader (which is the biggest reason I use expert mode). | 07:40 |

| liable | danko123456: you can ping google.com | 07:41 |
| akk | djm62: Otherwise I'd love not to use it, since every couple of steps expert mode repeats the three questions about pcmcia, module options, and some modules that didn't load. | 07:41 |

| femv | script grep | 07:41 |

| nickrud | akk, so try aplay <sound> | 08:43 |
| sproingie | lsuactiafner: ow. i may have to reboot soon, so that might not work | 08:43 |
| dizzy | akk: which sound format? | 08:43 |
| lsuactiafner | do you have a native 64 bit system? | 08:44 |
| Bazzi | brezzy will be 5.10 wont it? | 08:44 |
| akk | dizzy: .wav | 08:44 |
| Bazzi | breezy* | 08:44 |
| goron | ups: Well, in that case, I will deinstall Ubuntu again. I don't want to spend time with such useless details. And probably updating from one arch to another will kill the system anyway. | 08:44 |
| dizzy | akk: which sample rate? | 08:44 |
| akk | nickrud: I'll pass that along. At this point esd has been killed and uninstalled, can't try immediately. | 08:44 |

| akk | dizzy: Does it matter? Everybody seems to be saying that play doesn't work with esd, period. | 08:44 |
| lsuactiafner | ok so can anyone running a native 64 bit system please compile me a kernel? i dont want to bother with cross-compiling from a 32bit system | 08:45 |
| Bazzi | oh. updated :) | 08:45 |
| nickrud | akk: aplay is from alsa, not esd. Should still be there | 08:45 |

| dizzy | akk: if not you can try to resample to 44k but the result is not always good | 08:46 |
| dyce | im running ubuntu on a slow laptop *400mhz, gnome takes alot of resources | 08:46 |
| akk | Apparently esd also interferes with tuxkart, so using a different "play" program won't solve the problem. | 08:47 |
| dyce | i hear xfce is good | 08:47 |
| lsuactiafner | dyce : install blackbox | 08:47 |
| dyce | ill look into blackbox | 08:47 |
| goron | ups: Well, it's the same as upgrading from testing to unstable in Debian. Now, imagine you don't update for a year. Chanches are pretty high some stuff will break. And I don't think Ubuntu knowledge is that high (compared to Debian). Also, I am not a real desktop user, more a workstation like user. | 08:47 |
| lsuactiafner | blackbox is very very minimal fast and gives you the same functionality as gnome | 08:47 |
| lsuactiafner | the menu will be in /usr/local/share/blackbox/menu | 08:48 |
| Bazzi | goron ubuntu and debian work closely together | 08:48 |
| thenuke | fluxbox is also minimal and fast and propably better than blackbox :D | 08:48 |

| Bazzi | goron if you want to stick with long living releases, you may as well use debiaan itself | 08:48 |
| Xebitx | in the ubuntu installer there is no option to use free space from another partition ...what can you do? | 08:48 |
| goron | Bazzi: Why do I see things on Slashdot mentioning they are not? | 08:48 |
| membreya | i still keep trying to tell people, just use DMIX :P | 08:48 |
| lsuactiafner | fluxbox got a stupid default font heh | 08:48 |
| polaritius | umm can i get help inatalling bin files? i.e. java | 08:48 |
| ups | goron: i believe the official support lasts for 18 months for each release, so you dont really need to update that much if it's an issue. you'll still get security fixes. | 08:48 |
| Bazzi | goron slashdot got some stuff mixed up. | 08:49 |
| thenuke | Xebitx: do some partition to that freespace | 08:49 |
| dyce | blackbox, fluxbox or DMIX? | 08:49 |
| lsuactiafner | Xebitx : mount the other paritition under /target/var | 08:49 |
| thenuke | with another os perhaps | 08:49 |
| ups | goron: as for knowledge, you should know that a lot of ubuntu devs are debian devs too | 08:49 |
| goron | Bazzi: They linked to an article with Ian himself expressing worries about incompatibilities. | 08:49 |
| lsuactiafner | then everything that will go to var will be on the other partion | 08:49 |
| Xebitx | thenuke: how? | 08:49 |
| membreya | I'll let some more "seasoned" people add their comments and opinions on DMIX | 08:49 |
| lsuactiafner | tho if you dont config /etc/fstab afterwards you will get shit on reboot | 08:49 |
| goron | ups: Yeah, I understood that company buys a lot of developers from Debian. | 08:50 |
| Bazzi | goron which is kinda bollox because its incompatibilities to sarge, and ubuntu is based off sid... :) | 08:50 |
| thenuke | Xebitx: you go and figure it out. | 08:50 |
| dyce | what works with ubuntu? the deb files does.... how bout the rpm file? | 08:50 |
| thenuke | I dont know about your other operating systems | 08:50 |
| Xebitx | I already tried with partion magic | 08:50 |
| thenuke | that should work | 08:50 |
| Xebitx | but it wont resize even though I have 13 Free | 08:50 |
| lsuactiafner | ppl, compile from source damnit, screw packages.. | 08:51 |
| ups | goron: i dont think it's wise to believe absolutely everything that appears on slashdot ;) | 08:51 |
| Bazzi | goron it's rather a problem with debian itself, if they dont update their arch more regularly there will of course be incompatibilities | 08:51 |
| lsuactiafner | you can compile shit youself with -O3 --march you DO NOT want packages.. | 08:51 |
| neme | Trying to 'make menuconfig' and it says I need ncurses-devel | 08:51 |

| |QuaD- | nickrud: i actually think that the problem with the win2k system is the system time is messed up (on the bios) and i am too lazy to fix it (or something that the ntp isn't touching).

| rmilun | djm62,thanks about that,i will solve that one problem...just i dont know how to instal modem drivers! | 11:28 |
| penguinparty | Phoenix: you should have a entry auto eth0 | 11:28 |
| Zugot | breezy is cool as of right this second. i won't speak for next week | 11:28 |
| ompaul | DanglyBits, if you want breezy have a look at cdimage.ubuntu.com if you want to - be aware it will break often on you - and you can then code your way out of the breaks, if you can't do this then you should use hoary | 11:28 |
| DanglyBits | thenuke: can packages from breezy be used under hoary? | 11:28 |
| Phoenix_Zero | I dont see auto eth0 anywhere | 11:28 |

| |QuaD- | nickrud, limer: yeah, i never really cared enough, the computer gets used maybe twice a month for my mother to check her aol email (when she forgets to check it at work, or is expecting some). i haven't used in in well over 2 years, and she doesn't complain about it, so i am not too worried. | 11:30 |
| joha | nickrud: Actually, I'm not even at the model selection: the parport is not shown, only USB ports, but I need the parport | 11:30 |
| djm62 | rmilun: you can get the kernel source...apt-cache search for it | 11:30 |
| LC0 | i tried with all combination of refresh rates: the documentation of monitor is pretty bad | 11:30 |
| Zugot | i'm going to work a beagle like product for kde | 11:30 |
| limer | |QuaD-: that's cool man | 11:31 |
| djm62 | LC0: I think it's dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg | 11:31 |

| pune | hey does anyone know why when I log onto a terminal and enter the command su I can't get my password to work | 11:51 |
| Quest-Master | InitMass: Python is probably more OO than Java | 11:51 |
| LC0 | python = pseudo-code | 11:51 |
| djm62 | dyce: did you see my above messages? | 11:51 |
| InitMass | Quest-Master, and platform independant? | 11:51 |

| dyce | look, i have no internet connection for my ubuntu box | 11:52 |
| ompaul | yes | 11:52 |
| Quest-Master | InitMass: It, Ruby, and other languages of the short have development times that are fractions compared to those of Java's or C's. | 11:52 |
| dyce | i need wlan to get internet | 11:52 |
| Quest-Master | InitMass: I use ScITE and Quanta for Python.. don't like IDLE much | 11:52 |
| djm62 | dyce: if that doesn't help you configure wlan, then type iwconfig to see if your card is registered | 11:52 |
| LC0 | a question: how can i reinstall grub in mbr from a livecd? | 11:52 |
| nickrud | RustyShackleford: open /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find the Monitor section, and see what vertrefresh and horizrefresh say | 11:52 |

| dyce | ill try | 11:53 |

| ompaul | apt-get install scite lets have a look then | 11:53 |
| RustyShackleford | No vertrefresh or horisync | 11:53 |
| dyce | i would use apt-get but i cant | 11:53 |
| LC0 | Quest-Master, the ubuntu install will delete all information of one disk if you do that, am i right? | 11:54 |
| Quest-Master | LC0: Nope | 11:54 |

| djm62 | dyce: what type of card is it? is it supported by linux? | 11:55 |
