| rupertsw | sjohnson, Is this a home-grown kernel or a hoary one? | 12:49 |
| sjohnson | hoary | 12:50 |
| Thirsteh | dockane, gethostbyname() is a function used in many C applications that will detect the hostmask of an IP address, e.g. 203.68.59.102 resolves to pwnhx.mn.rr.com | 12:50 |

| sjohnson | i'm an experienced BSD user | 12:50 |
| sjohnson | and shit just never works right for me, example: the above | 12:50 |
| keffo | anyone who ever splited a AVI file into 2 in Linux? | 12:50 |

| sjohnson | while something works for EVERYONE else, for some reason, it won't work for me | 12:51 |
| threat | keffo, no | 12:51 |
| threat | keffo, when you say avi you mean DIVX/XVID rigyht? | 12:51 |
| keffo | yes, true | 12:51 |
| Thirsteh | sjohnson, some hardware, but not much, will not work with alot of Linux distro's cause alot of Linux distro's use the same drivers, and if they're bugged, you're screwed. | 12:51 |
| goldfish | you could try the split command keffo | 12:51 |
| dockane | Thirsteh, i ran etherconf and that was _definetly stupid : sudo: unable to lookup cray.example.com.example.com via gethostbyname() | 12:51 |

| K_Dallas | i do not know but it should have another ip ! | 01:28 |
| Thirsteh | hybrid_goth, routers give out different IP's, not the same | 01:29 |
| hybrid_goth | K_Dallas: nope this box has the exact same ip as the other | 01:29 |
| K_Dallas | for instance xx.xxx.xxx.100 and xx.xxx.xxx.101 | 01:29 |
| K_Dallas | ok, so beyond my knowledge | 01:29 |
| hybrid_goth | Thirsteh: i went to ip chicken on one box and this one and they were the same | 01:29 |
| hybrid_goth | ill look again here in a second | 01:30 |
| Thirsteh | hybrid_goth, yes, that's because you go there via your router, which has one IP, but your machines get an IP each from the router, two machines cannot possibly have the same IP | 01:30 |
| holycow | check again, if they are you have problems | 01:30 |
| Thirsteh | hybrid_goth, IP chicken is on the internet, thus you exit your router, and have your routers IP, if you understand | 01:30 |

| wastrel_ | ah right you're not a mind reader. i should say i can get online with my AP at home. | 03:51 |
| bob2 | wastrel_: was it an open ap or not? | 03:51 |
| === nub_away is now known as nubious | ||

| wastrel_ | so the hardware and drivers are functional | 03:51 |
| Mez | can anyone here help me with wine errors | 03:51 |
| nubious | does anyone know if I can do that with vino, or do I need the actual vncserver ? | 03:52 |
| wastrel_ | bob2 i'm told it's an open ap but didn't want to reboot to check w/ 'doze | 03:52 |
| bob2 | wastrel_: that should have been part of your initial question | 03:52 |
| waterbeetle | ghost, go to /etc/X11 | 03:52 |
| wastrel_ | bob2 i also have an ap with a wep key and a password that i can try | 03:52 |

| ghostfreeman | should the log file say best how to fix it? or should I write it down and come back here? | 03:53 |
| waterbeetle | also there should be your old xorg.conf file | 03:53 |

| GhostFreeman | ...can I? | 04:23 |
| MuStR | dabaSlon: I figured I'd check here first before actually looking (lazy) | 04:23 |
| dabaSlon | ok, well, you ever heard of alt+ctrl+fx, replace x with number? | 04:23 |
| dabaSlon | phoenixp3k: so all you wanna do is add yourself to sudoers, right? so you can open syunaptic, and such? | 04:24 |
| GhostFreeman | and this does what exactly? | 04:24 |
| agh | GhostFreeman: well, you might have to log into the text mode terminal and edit the file that way | 04:24 |
| Nub | somebody help me recompile my kernel with module suport please | 04:24 |
| waterbeetle | I too am interested in adding to sudoers ,dabaSlon | 04:24 |
| phoenixp3k | dabaSlon, can't because it asks for password, none work | 04:24 |
| dcraven | GhostFreeman: did you do the good ol' "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" dealy? | 04:24 |
| Burgundavia | phoenixp3k, the password you logged in with? | 04:25 |
| dabaSlon | GhostFreeman: it movesd you to a terminal that will not use x, so you can through command line change the x settings. | 04:25 |
| waterbeetle | same problem as phonixp3k | 04:25 |
| GhostFreeman | ok. | 04:25 |
| phoenixp3k | dabaSlon, I tried both root and the one of my current session | 04:25 |
| agh | phoenixp3k: the password is to confirm that you are actually you. it's your login password. | 04:25 |
| dabaSlon | alt+ctrl+f1 is the sfirst, suix of those until the f7 which is where your gnome session is. | 04:25 |
| Burgundavia | waterbeetle, see www.ubuntu.com/RootSudo , I just editted to make it more clear | 04:25 |
| Burgundavia | phoenixp3k, have you set a root password? | 04:25 |
| dcraven | Heya Burgundavia | 04:25 |
| phoenixp3k | yes | 04:25 |
| Burgundavia | salut dcraven | 04:25 |
| alexander_ | dabaSlon: thank you so very much for pointing me in the right direction | 04:25 |
| GhostFreeman | any other options, like LiveCD perhaps | 04:25 |
| Burgundavia | phoenixp3k, all the gui tools are looking for your password | 04:25 |
| phoenixp3k | if I open a Terminal, I can du su | 04:25 |

| Burgundavia | phoenixp3k, I would disable it, as Ubuntu uses sudo for everything | 04:26 |
| GhostFreeman | its bootable | 04:26 |
| Burgundavia | Nub, what is your issue? | 04:26 |
| dabaSlon | alexander_: welcome. | 04:26 |
| Nub | Burgundavia, thank you | 04:26 |

| mischko | Installing ubuntu (5.04) on VMWare. It doesn't detect any partitionalble media. | 04:27 |
| dabaSlon | GhostFreeman: boot up, and when it tries to go to x, you hit alt+ctrl+f1 and go to a terminal, fizx the file, reboot. | 04:27 |
| Burgundavia | Nub, why do you need to recompile your kernel? | 04:27 |
| GhostFreeman | ok | 04:27 |
| dcraven | GhostFreeman: Like dabaSlon said. | 04:27 |
| Nub | i had to edit a driver | 04:27 |
| GhostFreeman | I'll give that a shot, and if it dosen't work i'll come back here and cry about it | 04:27 |

| Burgundavia | Nub, what are you trying to get working/ | 04:27 |
| Nub | tulip net driver | 04:27 |
| Nub | i changed it | 04:27 |
| dcraven | Nub: The config file for your running stock kernel is in /boot | 04:27 |
| dabaSlon | phoenixp3k: go and reboot, and when it asks you which session you want in grub, ask for a sagfe mode, that will log you in as root, and then you can go and add yourself to the file but first learn hoew to ad yourself... | 04:28 |
| dabaSlon | or. alternatively... | 04:28 |
| phoenixp3k | Burgundavia, done, do I have to restart of something? It's still not working | 04:28 |
| Nub | can i just vi that and not have to change all the other options? | 04:28 |
| dabaSlon | once you are logged in, type in, adduser admin yourUsername | 04:28 |
| phoenixp3k | Thats what I did | 04:28 |
| phoenixp3k | dabaSlon, when I reinstalled. I only placed root | 04:28 |

| phoenixp3k | dabaSlon, then went in safe mode to add a user | 04:29 |
| dabaSlon | so you are now logged in with??? | 04:29 |
| dcraven | Nub: You can copy it to your kernel source dir, then start from there. All defaults will be preselected. | 04:29 |
| === mr_roboto [~robot@24-148-87-160.hnc-bsr1.chi-hnc.il.cable.rcn.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| dabaSlon | ok, go back to safe mode, and adduser admin yourUsername, taht will add the group admin to taht usernam,e... | 04:29 |
| dabaSlon | let me dblcheck | 04:29 |
| Nub | dcraven, thank you | 04:29 |
| dcraven | Nub: copy it as /usr/src/kernel-source/.config... Whatever your kernel source dir is. | 04:29 |
| phoenixp3k | do I have to delete the current? | 04:30 |
| Burgundavia | phoenixp3k, did you choose expert install? | 04:30 |
| Nub | dcraven, that way can i just change a single option/ | 04:30 |
| dabaSlon | sudo adduser userName admin | 04:30 |
| waterbeetle | I'm having the same prob as phoenixp3k, it says 'admin' user doesn't exist | 04:30 |
| phoenixp3k | not really, just went trought the process | 04:30 |
| dabaSlon | then it is your password that it is asking for. | 04:31 |
| dabaSlon | and you should be in the sudoers file. | 04:31 |
| Burgundavia | phoenixp3k, ok then, log in as the user that was created during the install | 04:31 |
| dcraven | Nub: If that's all you need, then yes. This assumes the same sources as your running kernel. | 04:31 |
| Burgundavia | phoenixp3k, that is not a root user | 04:31 |
| dabaSlon | waterbeetle: your problem being no user as a sudoer? | 04:31 |
| Nub | dcraven, great, thank you | 04:31 |
| waterbeetle | yes | 04:31 |
| dcraven | Nub: If you are going to compile a newer kernel that what that config was made from, do a "make oldconfig". | 04:31 |
| dcraven | Nub: np | 04:31 |
| Nub | dcraven, same kernel just changed driver | 04:32 |
| dabaSlon | well, reboot, safe mode, as root, adduser yourUsername admin | 04:32 |
| dcraven | Nub: You're golden then. | 04:32 |
| phoenixp3k | Burgundavia, well I'm logged | 04:32 |
| waterbeetle | it says the group 'admin' doesnt exist | 04:33 |
| === carthik_ [~carthik@215.151.8.67.cfl.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| waterbeetle | must create that group? | 04:33 |
| dabaSlon | phoenixp3k: if you do that, and if it is possible to get to root through safe mode, you will have taht user that you replace yourUsername with in the sudoers, if admin groups has sudo permisions. | 04:33 |
| dabaSlon | ah,,,so you are logged in as root now? | 04:33 |
| thechitowncubs | How can I uninstall a deb package that i didn't install through apt-get? I also don't have thet deb anymore | 04:33 |
| waterbeetle | dabaSlon, I'm logged in as root now | 04:33 |
| waterbeetle | in another screen | 04:34 |
| thechitowncubs | nvm, i realized synaptic can do it :) | 04:34 |
| dabaSlon | waterbeetle: just add yourself to the sudoers file then for now, then we wil ask Burgundavia how to add a group for sudoers | 04:34 |

| alexander_ | sound how wnderful | 04:55 |
| MuStR | :[ | 04:55 |
| dabaSlon | wsmith: yes, remember to remove all non ubuntu repositories from sources, and remember to remove backports as well. | 04:55 |
| IIIEars | gnimish that is the easiest way (no fiddling) Ubuntu supports NTFS volumes though. | 04:55 |
| vboxw | Gnimsh: if you are using SAMBA they can be on any file sys. | 04:55 |

| dabaSlon | yup. | 04:56 |

| dabaSlon | alexander_: hope this dont offend you....I dont need one right now, I am about to blaze...:( | 04:56 |
| GhostFreeman | i've done that | 04:56 |
| natex | Gnimsh, as vboxw said, ntfs is writeable if using samba | 04:56 |
| GhostFreeman | and configured xorf | 04:56 |
| GhostFreeman | xorg* | 04:56 |
| gbic | did you reboot? | 04:57 |
| GhostFreeman | and restarted the system, and it tells me its not there | 04:57 |
| gbic | try glrxgears | 04:57 |
| alexander_ | dabaSlon: no worries buddy, lol | 04:57 |
| gbic | hmm | 04:57 |
| vboxw | Gnimsh: do you have samba server installed? | 04:57 |
| Gnimsh | no | 04:57 |
| gbic | 3. | 04:57 |
| gbic | Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change "ati" to "fglrx", perhaps with a command like: sudo sed -i -e 's/"ati"/"fglrx"/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Alternatively, just use your favourite text editor, or use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select "fglrx" instead of "ati". | 04:57 |
| Gnimsh | so I install samba on the windows box | 04:57 |
| GhostFreeman | did that | 04:57 |
| MuStR | vboxw: no, but my file store drive is NFTS, and I could convert it if there is a filesystem that is writable by both windows and linux | 04:57 |
| gbic | which card? | 04:57 |
| GhostFreeman | that's how I got it to tell me fglrx is gone | 04:57 |
| GhostFreeman | 9800XT | 04:57 |
| natex | Gnimsh, I assume you are talking about 2 computers? one Ubuntu, one Windows? | 04:58 |

| darkaudit | any hoary-security folks: is the plan for firefox to keep the ver # at 1.0.2 and just add a -# at the end when a new security hole is fixed? | 05:00 |
| natex | Gnimsh, ok. no problem. Windows uses SMBFS to share files. Linux can mount these over a network with Samba. | 05:00 |

| vboxw | Gnimsh: not too sure about ubuntu, but you can d/l samba package - it has a nice web admin too to share drives on linux to windows - and smbmount to mount shared drives on windows boxs on your linux machine | 05:01 |
| dabaSlon | darkaudit: I have .3 installed, .4 wont installl | 05:01 |
| GhostFreeman | im just going to remove all the xorg ati drivers and reinstall | 05:01 |
| natex | vboxw, does he even need the full samba server.... just smbfs support yes? | 05:01 |
| Gnimsh | So I install samba in linux and it handles the connection between the 2 oses? | 05:01 |
| wsmith | dabaSlon, No, change the name, just keep a symlink up to date so people can put that in their sources.list. Similar to the way debian does "stable" and "unstable" | 05:01 |
| GhostFreeman | if that dosent fix it i'll go post on the forums for help | 05:01 |

| waterbeetle | I use slackware on my other computer, and to configure TV-out have to edit the Xorg.conf, is it the same in Ubuntu, or is there an auto-scripting program? Also I have found nothing with ATI Radeon mobility in the wiki.... | 05:25 |
| CrippsFX | tritium, what is the packaging system that ubuntu uses (for example: deb, rpm ...) | 05:26 |
| dabaStnd | hm...it may not like you, phoenixp3k | 05:26 |
| tritium | Crane, .deb | 05:26 |
| tritium | CrippsFX, ^^^ | 05:26 |
| Gnimsh | vboxw, can I pm you? | 05:26 |
| phoenixp3k | dabaStnd, very funny | 05:26 |
| phoenixp3k | let's say I asks to set one | 05:26 |
| vboxw | Gnimsh, pm? I guest so - what is it? | 05:26 |
| CrippsFX | tritum, thank you. does it support any others ... like, could I install rpm on ubuntu if I wanted to? | 05:26 |
| Gnimsh | private msg | 05:26 |
| phoenixp3k | Do I actually set one or not? | 05:26 |
| tritium | phoenixp3k, if it's asking you for a root password, then you may have downloaded a debian cd image or something | 05:26 |

| tritium | CrippsFX, I didn't see your last message until now, since my nick wasn't spelled right...you can install convert rpm to deb with alien and install | 05:29 |

| CrippsFX | Trickyphillips, it's like "rpmbuild" ... only for debian. it allows you to build source into a *.deb | 05:31 |
| phoenixp3k | (might be the source of the root-passwd prob) | 05:31 |
| CrippsFX | oops .... tritium ^^ | 05:31 |
| tritium | CrippsFX, there are other packages that can do that. | 05:31 |

| K_Dallas | tritium: as for my latex problem, I have found a package, textpos, which allows you to place your text any where on the page and rotate it etc. I am still looking for a font to use large and engraved, not found one yet, so i use a gray large font for now | 05:31 |

| tritium | BrettMeister, have you read: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo ? | 05:31 |
| agh | tritium: heck, you can do it manually, if you really want to... :) | 05:31 |
| phoenixp3k | In the install, when it asks if the clock is on GMT I have to say no right? | 05:32 |

| tritium | CrippsFX, you definitely don't want to do that. You'd be better off using kernel-package to make .deb kernel images | 05:32 |
| K_Dallas | phoenixp3k: your choice | 05:32 |
| mpm | I've been struggling for a couple of weeks trying to get my system to burn cds since upgrading to hoary I lost it; have tried commandline, nautilus, gnomebaker, k3b, and I just get errors; I haven't posted to the forums, because I don't want to duplicate someone else's error; can anyone make reasonable hints about what it might be? | 05:32 |
| agh | phoenixp3k: well... no, you can choose | 05:32 |
| CrippsFX | tritium, although, there are some apps that I've got (can't remember which ones) that were a huge pain to rpmbuild that I couldn't find rpms for. | 05:32 |
| BrettMeister | tritium: Hi, there, Trit. Thanks for the answer. I'll try the reference. | 05:32 |
| phoenixp3k | but I have Windows I dual boot | 05:32 |
| agh | phoenixp3k: but you're better off using GMT for system, unless you're dual booting. | 05:32 |
| tritium | K_Dallas, oh, okay. Sorry I never found anything for you. | 05:32 |
| phoenixp3k | and time is always messed up under windows | 05:32 |
| agh | phoenixp3k: then you'll want to use local | 05:32 |
| CrippsFX | tritium, well, I like to use the newest bleeding edge kernel from kernel.org | 05:33 |
| K_Dallas | tritium: not at all, i am glad that you answered anyway :) | 05:33 |
| === carthik_ [~carthik@226.187.204.68.cfl.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| phoenixp3k | so I have to say NO to the GMT question | 05:33 |
| tritium | BrettMeister, sure. It's a good read. Hopefully you'll find that sudo is more secure than you think. | 05:33 |
| agh | CrippsFX: ooooh, have you used makekpkg to roll your binaries then? | 05:33 |
| BrettMeister | tritium: Hmmmm.... | 05:33 |
| tritium | CrippsFX, you can still use kernel-package for that. | 05:33 |
| agh | CrippsFX: it's much nicer than doing it manually. | 05:33 |
| CrippsFX | how is power management under ubuntu? I have an acpi laptop, and unfortunately fedora core 3 doesn't let me run off batteries for that. | 05:33 |

| Janux | Hi, how do I format a floppy in bootable format in Ubuntu? | 05:34 |
| CrippsFX | tritium, they release testing versions? (like 2.6.12-rc4) | 05:34 |
| tritium | BrettMeister, even the Debian Reference has a section "Working more safely -- sudo": http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-sudo | 05:34 |

| alexander_ | thirsteh, mmm, that's what I had done | 05:41 |
| BrettMeister | tritium: You're right. It is an interesting read. I'm more at ease with this now. Just a little unfamiliar. I'll have to work a little harder to understand how to use "sudo". | 05:41 |
| Thirsteh | alexander_, hmm? :o | 05:42 |
| agh | BrettMeister: here's a poser for you: what does "sudo su - foo" do? | 05:42 |
| tritium | BrettMeister, I'm glad you're more comfortable with it. In the end, the decision is yours, but I do recommend sudo. | 05:42 |
| alexander_ | thirsteh, sorry I got nothing, i ran alsamixer from terminal and unmuted my analog jack | 05:42 |

| agh | BrettMeister: well, step through it. :) | 05:43 |
| alexander_ | i'll be back... | 05:43 |
| agh | BrettMeister: first, it's sudo, so you want to do something as root. | 05:43 |
| agh | BrettMeister: second, the thing you want to do is su - foo (become the user foo) | 05:43 |
| BrettMeister | agh: Can't remember what "foo" is.... | 05:44 |
| agh | foo is an arbitrary word used in place of identifiers | 05:44 |

| agh | Janux: oh, ok. well ltsp has some pretty good howto's. you need to follow them. | 06:01 |
| agh | Janux: have you built your kernel yet? | 06:01 |
| Thirsteh | Still can't open alsamixer though :\ | 06:01 |
| Gnimsh | alrighty everyone I am out for the night, really tired | 06:02 |
| Janux | agh, not yet...o....make zImage? | 06:02 |
| agh | Janux: because one of the first things you'll need to do is roll a kustom kernel. default ones are usually too big to fit on the flippy. | 06:02 |
| capi | What does `Iso Level' mean and is it important to burning Ubuntu? | 06:02 |
| agh | Janux: well, you need to configure it first. | 06:02 |
| agh | Janux: so you need to get a really accurate list of all the hardware you want to support on the box you'll be using... | 06:02 |
| agh | Janux: (ubuntu has excellent hw autodetection, so try booting it that way and then use dmesg to see what got found) | 06:03 |
| tritium | Janux, you're compiling a kernel? | 06:03 |
| agh | Janux: LTSP will have advice on which other kernel modules you need to include | 06:03 |

| qweqw | usemasks instead of an outright ban, fantastic! | 06:04 |
| kakalto | heya | 06:04 |
| agh | Janux: there's a bit of an art fitting both the kernel and the filesystem onto a single floppy. | 06:04 |
| agh | Janux: the time I did it (about 6 years ago), busybox had just come out, so things got a lot easier. But it was still annoying. | 06:05 |
| Janux | agh, all I remember is something like "make bootImage" or something like that after configuring and compiling kernels with modules. | 06:05 |
| tritium | Janux, thought it was for your ubuntu machine, but it appears to be for thin clients... | 06:05 |

| mpm | qweqw: you're using Tor to spam us religious dogma? that's not very ethical | 06:06 |

| benplaut | this is just plain weird... i start using Ubuntu, and then a pretty much regular windows user asks me to set up a dual-boot linux system. Then another, (very computer illiterate) who has had horrible luck with viruses, asks me for linux; i give him Ubuntu LiveCD. Then, one calls me on the phone asking "Can i run linux on windows 98?", wanting to rejuvinate his old celeron system, but knowing nothing about it... | 06:32 |

| goofrider | K_Dallas, I started using Desktop Linux only a month ago | 07:08 |
| qweqw | windowing | 07:09 |
| K_Dallas | windows explorer on my system is: faster than kde/gnome, gives me more control over my mouse and clinking and switching etc, and is much nicer to eye | 07:09 |
| qweqw | rubber keyboard, X and beer.. typos galore | 07:09 |
| goofrider | I still use Windows on my primary desktop, but most certain not because of the desktop eniroment. | 07:09 |

| goofrider | There are just too many Windows apps I can't leave beind yet | 07:09 |

| CrankyBen | okay, so <pass> should = 1 for root partition, and sequential for each other partition. It's the order in which they are checked at bootup | 07:27 |
| IIIEars | you can always use gpart or qtparted to shrink an existing partition later | 07:27 |
| CrankyBen | and <dump> just seems like it should always be 0 | 07:27 |

| djtansey | kestas: that sucks. oh well. | 07:37 |

| goofrider | initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.10-5-386 | 07:37 |

| choop | during install | 07:38 |
| goofrider | choop, does it boot? | 07:38 |
| djtansey | kestas: i guess it would have to know what packages i specifically asked to install in the past and not remove those. but good point -- would require a good bit of info. but it could also ask (though the list would be long) | 07:38 |

| CrankyBen | I just resized my Ubuntu partition, created a new data partition, edited fstab to mount it at /home/username/data | 07:47 |
| goofrider | kestas, Ubuntu is Debian with a **realisitic** release cycle, and a desktop focus | 07:47 |
| CrankyBen | it seems to work fine, but there is a folder in there called "lost+found" which when I click on it, crashed nautilus. It has a red X icon | 07:48 |

| kestas | for debain | 07:49 |
| kestas | *debian | 07:49 |
| cyphase | kestas, that doesn't mean they sponsor debian | 07:49 |
| kestas | it means theyre spending money on the development of debian | 07:49 |
| goofrider | CrankyBen, I know it's stupid, but nautilus just crash whenever u click on a file that u have no read permission | 07:49 |
| kestas | so theyre sponsoring it | 07:50 |
| CrankyBen | goofrider, okay, thanks :) | 07:50 |
| kestas | whats in it for them? | 07:50 |
| goofrider | kestas, the company is Canonical | 07:50 |

| goofrider | g14, yum is not as good as apt | 07:54 |

| Dr_Willis | kestas, from what i recall PearPC was a rip-off. or was the the other name.. I forget now.. lol | 08:07 |

| ram_einstein | xen!? | 08:30 |
| goofrider | ram_einstein, and /fedoradisk isn't already mount with something? what about permissions? | 08:30 |
| qweqw | then you can run any distro you want, without constant partitioning | 08:30 |

| paueas | what package would i need so that i can play windows media things? | 08:31 |

| ram_einstein | no goofrider. I'm sudo | 08:31 |
| goofrider | or experimental | 08:31 |

| qweqw | there's also user-mode-linux | 08:31 |

| kestas | yeah but then youve got to install 20 -dev packages | 08:33 |
| ivoks | kestas | 08:33 |
| goofrider | kestas, u can customzie your kernel in Ubuntu as well. U just recommented to use make-kpkg to make a DEB out of your custom kernel | 08:33 |

| qweqw | why use gftp, BBurger ? | 08:35 |
| goofrider | they're all one apt-get command away, with no prompts | 08:35 |
| kestas | just listing another thing to add to ivoks list | 08:35 |
| crimmy | build-essential pulls that in | 08:35 |
| ivoks | goofrider you don't need kernel headers | 08:35 |
| kestas | EOD right? | 08:35 |
| goofrider | kestas, frankly i think Debian/Ubuntu ways of handling custom kernels is superb | 08:35 |
| ivoks | goofrider kernel headers are for modules... | 08:35 |
| kestas | okay okay Ill look into it thanks | 08:36 |
| BBurger | qweqw - is there another stock FTP prog for ubuntu you'd recommend? | 08:36 |
| goofrider | ivoks, thanks for the correction | 08:36 |

| kestas | FUD? | 09:02 |
| kestas | its okay, but it does crash a lot | 09:02 |
| siimo | crimmy, i think ubuntu uses apple's patented bytecode interpreter for rendering fonts | 09:02 |

| goofrider | siimo, I mean, if you're gonna worry about hinting, shouldn't u worry about subpixel hinting? | 09:07 |

| LiberalTugboat | xfce uses like 56 mb idle | 09:15 |

| bob2 | despite what they may think | 09:16 |
| sjohnson | it's a realtek | 09:16 |
| bob2 | also, try another cable | 09:16 |
| sjohnson | chipset i believe | 09:16 |
| poofyhair | Metacity is like a big at the trough with my RAM | 09:16 |
| LiberalTugboat | poofyhair, what was the specs on the laptop? | 09:16 |
| sjohnson | ahh, this worked fine in windows | 09:16 |
| hardcampa- | poofyhair that's a bit general | 09:16 |
| poofyhair | the laptop is a 400mhz celeron with 128mb | 09:16 |
| kestas | sjohnson, what protocol are you using? | 09:17 |
| poofyhair | feels much faster than Windows 2k | 09:17 |
| sjohnson | TCP/IP | 09:17 |
| LiberalTugboat | is it running pretty snappy? | 09:17 |
| kestas | if you use ftp youll get a lot faster than smb | 09:17 |
| sjohnson | oh | 09:17 |
| sjohnson | i see, well | 09:17 |
| poofyhair | And more than twice as fast as Gnome | 09:17 |
| sjohnson | secure copy | 09:17 |
| sjohnson | samba, anything | 09:17 |
| sjohnson | secure copy would normally go 11megs/sec | 09:17 |
| sjohnson | now it's down to around 1 | 09:17 |
| sjohnson | (it was about 11 in slackware linux) | 09:17 |
| sjohnson | for some reason in ubuntu, it chugs along.. very slowly | 09:17 |
| poofyhair | Yes very snappy | 09:18 |

| === pointwood [~pointwood@212.242.222.232] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| poofyhair | it Really needs 256mb to be happy | 09:18 |
| poofyhair | At the 256mb point, it seems to be as fast as XFCE | 09:18 |
| kestas | try icewm or fluxbox if you want snappyness | 09:18 |
| kestas | xfce and gnome are for eye candy | 09:18 |
| hardcampa- | or a decent desktop | 09:18 |
| kestas | yeup | 09:19 |
| kakalto | kestas, xfce, not as much | 09:19 |
| kakalto | kestas, for eyecandy, there's kde | 09:19 |
| kestas | more.. hence the xfces extra support of the composite extension | 09:19 |
| poofyhair | XFCE 4.2 really uses a least 40mb on average less RAM than Gnome | 09:19 |
| kestas | the best thing about xfce is xfcewm's window snapping | 09:19 |
| poofyhair | I wish Gnome supported that better | 09:19 |
| kestas | I miss that | 09:19 |
| hardcampa- | poofyhair it might use less ram but it also doesn't have as much stuff as gnome. So it depends on how you look at it. | 09:19 |

| bluemax | what do you guys think is the best window manager in terms of customization? | 09:20 |
| sjohnson | just tested the speed, still goes 1500k/sec | 09:20 |
| bob2 | that's not a GNOME thing, it's a metacity thing. | 09:20 |
| bob2 | (snapping) | 09:20 |
| poofyhair | thats why I use: gnome-volume-manager, nautilus, two gnome panels | 09:20 |
| crimmy | bluemax, probably sawfish | 09:20 |
| poofyhair | and its still faster than Gnome | 09:20 |
| bluemax | i was looking at pics of fluxbox, and what some people have done with it just looks amazing | 09:20 |
| crimmy | bluemax, though currently fvwm is quite customisable, too | 09:20 |
| hardcampa- | poofyhair try rox otherwise should fit in nicely with xfce | 09:20 |
| poofyhair | Fluxbox is best to customize | 09:20 |
| kestas | I like to have large panels though | 09:20 |
| poofyhair | (IMHO) | 09:20 |
| kestas | and menus | 09:20 |
| kestas | fluxbox isnt best to customize | 09:20 |
| kestas | no way hosay | 09:21 |
| hardcampa- | poofyhair instead of nautilus that is | 09:21 |
| poofyhair | I would try Rox, but I NEED Gnome volume manager | 09:21 |
| bluemax | ok, now which of the most customizable is easy enough for a linux newbie to use? | 09:21 |
| hardcampa- | =/ | 09:21 |
| kestas | gnome | 09:21 |
| bob2 | fluxbox isn't very customisable at all | 09:21 |
| crimmy | poofyhair, then just execute gnome-volume-manager | 09:21 |
| poofyhair | I made a working deb for the XFCE mount manager, but it kinda suxs | 09:21 |
| bob2 | bluemax: what do you want to customise? | 09:21 |
| poofyhair | I do | 09:21 |
| === A_Alam is now known as A_Alam-tp | ||

| === LiberalTugboat [~amanda@c-24-18-75-18.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| kestas | totally | 09:25 |
| poofyhair | True | 09:25 |
| poofyhair | RAM is cheap for newer machines | 09:25 |
| LiberalTugboat | I run gnome on a 1.4 ghz p4m with 512mb ram... when I tried XFCE... everything was quite a bit snappier | 09:25 |
| LiberalTugboat | so its not just ram | 09:25 |
| LiberalTugboat | its overhead | 09:25 |
| poofyhair | But old laptop RAM (good stuff) is expensive | 09:25 |
| poofyhair | Thats why I messed with XFCE | 09:25 |
| bob2 | bluemax: system -> desktop -> theme | 09:25 |
| bluemax | hmmm ok | 09:25 |
| bob2 | LiberalTugboat: "overhead" is not a useful measure of anything | 09:26 |
| poofyhair | I usually agree, Gnome's beauty is worth the RAM most of the time (just like xcompmgr was worth me buying a Nvidia card) | 09:26 |
| LiberalTugboat | OOo open a few seconds faster, firefox opens instantlly | 09:26 |
| kestas | poofyhair, xcompmgr crashes when ou run anything full screen or 3D | 09:26 |

| IIIEars | give me a one click restore feature as insurance for the time invested setting up. - a faster window manager only saves a couple of minutes a day. | 09:30 |
| poofyhair | one thing about xcompmgr is that it makes Metacity redraw 1000x better | 09:31 |
| bluemax | bob2: here's a screenshot of somebody's desktop using fluxbox to get an idea of the level of customization i want --> http://www.fluxbox.org/zoom.php?shots-dev/r00t_fluxbox.jpg | 09:31 |
| === lewwy [~lewwy@CPE-203-51-255-230.qld.bigpond.net.au] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| bob2 | bluemax: that's almost identical to the default fluxbox | 09:31 |
| LiberalTugboat | XFCE is really a great desktop, so is gnome... and same with KDE they just all have different uses | 09:31 |
| bob2 | just with a different theme | 09:31 |
| bluemax | now it's the not the best looking thing obviously, but what i want to do is something like they have at the top | 09:31 |
| crimsun | lucifer666: presuming the display manager you want is installed, you should just be able to dpkg-reconfigure it | 09:31 |
| poofyhair | true dat | 09:32 |
| bluemax | as well as custom right-click menus like fluxbox has | 09:32 |
| poofyhair | each has an advantage | 09:32 |
| bluemax | for the desktop | 09:32 |
| bob2 | bluemax: you need to ask theme what program that is at the top, it's not fluxbox | 09:32 |
| bluemax | bob2: ok | 09:32 |
| LiberalTugboat | XFCE is a fast full featured highly customizable desktop | 09:32 |
| LiberalTugboat | Gnome is more polished, a tad bit slower, but extremely user friendly | 09:33 |
| mae | hm | 09:33 |
| kestas | anyway | 09:33 |
| kestas | when is linux going to have a more user friendly firewall? | 09:33 |
| lucifer666 | thank you crimsun | 09:33 |
| LiberalTugboat | and KDE is a huge but extremely complete and integrated desktop | 09:33 |
| LiberalTugboat | no reason to bicker over which one is better, they all have their diferent uses, just be glad we have choices, unlike those other OS's | 09:35 |
| kestas | yeah yeah yeah | 09:35 |
| ivoks | it is... | 09:39 |
| bluemax | ok, i think i'm starting to understand all this now | 09:39 |

| poofyhair | bob2: actually, they plan to backport secrity fixes to firefox soon | 10:11 |
| bob2 | poofyhair: yes, I know | 10:11 |
| HrdwrBoB | kakalto: it will process each in turn only if the last was successful | 10:11 |
| kakalto | ohk | 10:12 |
| kakalto | kewl | 10:12 |
| bob2 | that's not breaking the freeze, that's providing security updates | 10:12 |
| kakalto | thanks | 10:12 |
| IIIEars | remove/reinstall firefox - turn off java and scripting when you surf - the 'net isn't always a friendly place | 10:12 |
| poofyhair | bob2: I hope some problems will get fixed anyways, we don't know till it happens | 10:12 |

| n00b | when I select 'properties' for the wireless config in 'network settings', the pull down menu for network name doesn't include my network...does that mean its not picking it up? | 10:12 |

| geogeo | do you know how to stop this event ? | 10:13 |
| bob2 | or disable dpms | 10:13 |
| poofyhair | glasseye1: make sure you ahve multiverse isntalled | 10:13 |
| PseudoIntellectu | Hi, I'm not sure if you offer support for this sort of thing, but I'm having some trouble with Azureus. The program runs fine. But it keeps killing my connection for some reason, even when it's not using any bandwidth. Just by having the program running, all my other internet applications can no longer access the internet. I just wanted to know if this was a problem with my OS, or with my connection? | 10:13 |
| glasseye1 | ill get on top of that... | 10:13 |

| Darksun | Does anyone know how to set it up in firefox so that when you scroll on the tabbar it cycles through the tabs? | 10:19 |

| PseudoIntellectu | Hrm. I tried all combinations. 'azu', 'azureus', 'Azureus' and 'Azureus2.jar'. All return '0' | 10:24 |
| bob2 | that's odd | 10:24 |
| bob2 | that means it's not using the network at all | 10:24 |
| n00b | shud I be concerned that my wireless router network name doesn't appear in the pull down list...I just manually typed it in...in os X it detected it | 10:25 |
| PseudoIntellectu | Which is weird, because it was intermittently downloading while I was trying to netstat. | 10:25 |
| bob2 | n00b: can you connect to it? | 10:26 |
| bob2 | PseudoIntellectu: put the output of "sudo netstat -pluant" up somewhre (like #flood) | 10:26 |

| bob2 | it's best to not recompile your kernel, tho | 11:04 |
| kestas | I need to add some nat and tunnel stuff | 11:04 |
| bob2 | the ubuntu kernel includes all mainline nat and tunnel stuff | 11:05 |
| kestas | well for some reason pearpc's networking isnt working | 11:05 |

| kestas | I figure Ill compile a new kernel, whats the worst that could happen | 11:11 |
| Seveas | kestas, that you make an error and it won't boot :) | 11:12 |
| kestas | Im not going to delete the old kernel | 11:12 |
| kestas | just add another | 11:12 |
| Seveas | kestas, i mean that the new kernel won't boot | 11:12 |
| kestas | then Ill boot into the old one and try another config | 11:12 |
| Seveas | which is not too big a problem, cause if you know what you are doing, you won't make a kernel build error :) | 11:13 |
| gorilla_ | kestas, in that case, find out now how to revert to an older kernel using lilo or grub or your_boot_loader. | 11:13 |

| Seveas | Mista_Bone, a nice gtk+ frontend to a wiki too ;) | 12:15 |
| Hatred | lol kisain | 12:15 |
| Hatred | same ehre | 12:15 |

| Burgundavia | kisain, you might want to try a program called tomboy | 12:15 |
| Hatred | i started with mandrake | 12:15 |
| Hatred | so had a really bad intro to linux | 12:15 |
| kisain | whats that? | 12:15 |
| Hatred | mandrake? | 12:15 |
| Mista_Bone | ubuntu is very good..iam torn between ubuntu and gentoo...not sure which i like best | 12:15 |
| Seveas | mandrake is another distro | 12:15 |
| Hatred | it's a joke, that's what it is :p | 12:15 |
| Mista_Bone | mandrake is shite | 12:15 |
| incubii | what did you use before hand kisain | 12:15 |
| goofrider | why Gentoo? :-/ | 12:15 |
| Burgundavia | kisain, a little desktop note taking program | 12:15 |

| Seveas | gentoo is for more experienced people | 12:16 |
| Ashims | joh | 12:16 |
| Mista_Bone | because gentoo you can customize so much on the install...great package management too | 12:16 |
| kestas | gentoo package management blows | 12:16 |
| Hatred | yea gentoo is pretty popular | 12:16 |
| mischa | hi guys: any of you using enigmail in thunderbird....it doe not ask me for my passphrase and end with error when trying to decrypt my message. but when i save it as file i can decrypt it ....any idea? | 12:16 |

| Seveas | Mista_Bone, i like good defaults better than great configurability (aka: great ways for newbies to mess up) | 12:16 |
| Hatred | though in my opinion needlesslyy complicated jsut for desktop use | 12:16 |
| Ashims | (dont we all love it) | 12:16 |
| goofrider | Gentoo only makes you FEEL like u'r building the prefect system | 12:16 |
| Hatred | if you want a good desktop pc distro then go for ubuntu. | 12:16 |
| kisain | maybe so but way to hard to configure | 12:16 |
| Seveas | goofrider, nice point :) | 12:16 |
| Mista_Bone | seveas gentoo is definintly for more experienced linux users | 12:17 |

| fsapo | saif, if you just install a single program it will not fuck everything | 12:52 |
| Quazion | bdmp, doesnt matter any directorty, but normaly you mount under /mnt or /media so just create a new dir for your mounted driver | 12:52 |

| goofrider | oh... | 12:55 |

| Ottoman | no, I uninstalled alsa and my X wouldnt start | 12:56 |
| Ottoman | so I installed xdm | 12:56 |
| goofrider | i don't think that's a good idea. the better thing to do is have kdm/gdm autologin for u | 12:56 |
| goofrider | but it's still a bad idea | 12:57 |
| Ottoman | but I'd like my gnome to start up at boot | 12:57 |
| Ottoman | my sound is fixed tho | 12:57 |
| goofrider | well, of course u didn't have a "session" option.. u use xdm not kdm/gdm | 12:57 |
| goofrider | try installing kdm/gdm | 12:57 |
| Ottoman | I edited /etc/X11/default-display manager, but to no avail | 12:57 |
| goofrider | which wil give u autologin | 12:57 |
| Ottoman | will my gnome settings be gone then? | 12:57 |
| Ottoman | like my icons and such | 12:58 |
| Ottoman | wallpaper, all those details? | 12:58 |
| goofrider | Ottoman, no, kdm/gdm is just the display manger (aka the login screen) | 12:58 |
| goofrider | your desktop environment is independent of kdm/gdm | 12:58 |
| Ottoman | ok, and when I install gdm via apt-get it'll start when I boot up? | 12:59 |
| goofrider | yes | 12:59 |
| Ottoman | great! | 12:59 |
| goofrider | and gives u a graphical login screen | 12:59 |

| bdmp | it says creating sda1. does that mean I have to do that everytime I add a usb thing | 01:11 |

| goofrider | i think there's ought to be an automount tool | 01:11 |
| goofrider | u can put it in your fstab if u want | 01:11 |
| goofrider | but it might not work if u have more that one usb/flash/firewire drive because the enumeration will be different | 01:12 |

| goofrider | the extended file system just maps to the underlying ISO 9960 file system | 01:37 |
| goofrider | like how VAT long filenames on top of 8.3 FAT | 01:37 |

| goofrider | yes, but only the ISO 9960 filenames | 01:38 |
| goofrider | either 8.3 or 31 char | 01:38 |
| fsapo | thats not a problem ;) | 01:38 |
| goofrider | depends on how u burned it | 01:38 |
| fsapo | burned with iso level 2 | 01:38 |
| fsapo | is 31 char i think | 01:38 |
| goofrider | that's the best of my understanding of the isse | 01:38 |

| goofrider | so u guys know about the delay write errors with external firewire drives on XP? | 01:41 |
| goofrider | anyways, sometimes delay write fails and the disk need to be remounted | 01:42 |
| goofrider | maybe one or two corrupted files, big deal | 01:42 |
| goofrider | but.. on MY firewire drive, the file it corrupted was... ahem.. $MFT and $SECURE | 01:42 |

| goofrider | if there isn't so tools that already does all that for u | 01:53 |
| goofrider | fsapo, the idea is have a tool to read all the email in Thunderbird's data files (called mbox) and forward all of them to your gmail address | 01:54 |
| fsapo | goofrider, hum... | 01:54 |
| goofrider | it's pretty crude idea | 01:54 |

| fsapo | goofrider, hum... | 02:03 |
| goofrider | fsapo, i think the more sensible solution is use fetchmail to fetch your POP3 mail and deliver them to your local mailbox and gmail acct at the same time | 02:03 |

| goofrider | orty, u should boot into recovery mode and check /var/log/messages for errors, ACPI or APM can be the problem, and many other thingsd. search the forum. it's a pretty common problem | 02:08 |
| Ericf | I try to log in to an ftp-server with the username 'wap.squishy.nl'. In terminal mode this goes fine, but when trying to do it with nautilus it says 'Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "ftp: www.squishy.nl".'. Loggin in to another server, with a name without dots, works fine. Could it be that nautilus has a problem with the dotted name? | 02:09 |

| === Mr_T [~liam@koko.greenflowers.org.uk] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| CarlK | anyone know if windows can use a swap partition for swap? | 03:26 |
| goofrider | CarlK, windows use a swapfile | 03:26 |
| goofrider | a file that must be in an NTFS or FAT32 partition | 03:27 |
| CarlK | goofrider - yeah, thats what I am trying to deal with | 03:27 |
| mjr | CarlK, well, you could format it as fat and put in a swapfile when you halt/reboot your linux box, and recreate it as a swap partition on bootup | 03:27 |
| goofrider | CarlK, u can create a swapfile in a FAT32 partition for linux | 03:28 |
| === petito [MTP@dyn-83-157-231-229.ppp.tiscali.fr] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| goofrider | instead of a sap partition | 03:28 |
| mjr | and what goof said | 03:28 |
| CarlK | goofrider - thats the answer I needed | 03:28 |
| goofrider | but then, the linux/windows swap file wil be always there, taking room | 03:28 |
| goofrider | so it doesn't help much | 03:28 |
| CarlK | goofrider - not if I rm it on Linux boot | 03:28 |
| goofrider | CarlK, windows will create a swap file only when it's needed if u select "let windows manage swap space" | 03:29 |
| goofrider | so in theory, u can use create/remove the linux swap file when needed | 03:29 |
| goofrider | and let windows create its by itself | 03:29 |
| goofrider | put that in your init/shutdown script if u feel like it LOL | 03:30 |
| goofrider | but no gurantees. I'm just telling u what I know | 03:30 |
| CarlK | nothing funny - that was my plan | 03:30 |
| goofrider | report back your findings. I'm sure it'll help others as well | 03:31 |
| === pussfeller [~todd@t1-rtc-woodlawn.rtcol.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| CarlK | but I think I know a flaw: when a box hibernates, i bet it expects the swap to still be there | 03:31 |
| resiak | Solution: don't hibernate! | 03:31 |

| === neuneu [~human1701@196.192.109.77] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| goofrider | CarlK, not sure how linux deal with that. Windows use a **separate** file for hibernation | 03:32 |
| goofrider | independant of the swap file | 03:32 |
| CarlK | resiak - but that means Ihave to wait for it to shut down and then restart | 03:32 |
| mjr | CarlK, and I think the standard software suspend code in the kernel actually requires a swap _partition_ for hibernation to work | 03:32 |
| goofrider | CarlK, I think I remember that as well | 03:32 |
| mjr | (the swsusp2 code which is available separately might've lifted that restriction) | 03:32 |
| goofrider | CarlK, are u really that low on HDD space? | 03:32 |
| CarlK | goofrider - yes, but I would think when the OS wakes up from hibernation, it will be pretty pissed off if I have rm'ed it's swap file | 03:33 |
| goofrider | or r ujust a cheap bastard? | 03:33 |
| mjr | anyway, all software suspend implementations for linux do use swap space for doing their thing | 03:33 |
| Seveas | goofrider, language... | 03:33 |
| resiak | CarlK: And it takes about a minute ... so? | 03:33 |
| goofrider | I'm j/k | 03:33 |
| goofrider | :) | 03:33 |
| CarlK | resiak - i wish it was only a min | 03:33 |
| resiak | CarlK: How old is your laptop? | 03:33 |
| resiak | s/laptop/computer/ | 03:33 |
| CarlK | resiak - about a year | 03:33 |
| goofrider | CarlK, seriously, let them have dedicated swap dpace | 03:33 |

| goofrider | both of them can stall the boot process | 03:37 |

| goofrider | CarlK, well, then u should be hibernating XP then, not linux | 03:38 |
| CarlK | arg. yes, but if I hibernate XP, the boot into linux and rm the XP swap file, XP is goiing to be pretty pissed off when it wakes up | 03:39 |

| vigilanty | well, it's the name that was used when installing thru synaptic. | 03:43 |
| goofrider | vigilanty, not always | 03:43 |
| flevour | goofrider: parallel printer. i see it in the printer panel. i was not sure gnome app was working ok, so i activated the http admin version | 03:43 |
| sproingie | both gnome and kde are seriously hosed in breezy's current state. i sure wouldnt use it unless your apt kung fu is strong | 03:43 |

| zoddan | b4 ? | 03:51 |
| krazykook | but the real problem is the cost of the blue laser media | 03:51 |
| dataw0lf|w | vigilanty: a compressed and archived file, use tar zxvf quake2-... etc to uncompress and unpack it | 03:51 |
| goofrider | zoddan, no, it looks like the Makefile or shell script is broken and u need to customize it. I can't help u with that, it's a rather tedious process | 03:51 |

| jaggi | took a while.. the menu editing of Nautilus didn't work for me, as I couldn't get to the applications:/// url it said should work. | 04:10 |
| Tolaris | that explains the links, Jaggi, thanks | 04:10 |
| Tolaris | what defines the folders in the menu? | 04:10 |
| jaggi | there's also the applnk dirs, etc, but this one seemed to be the only one which worked | 04:10 |
| Tolaris | for instance, "Programming" appears to really be called "Development", which is a bit odd for hand-editing files | 04:11 |
| jaggi | take a look at a known file in the dir.. see the xchat file in that dir | 04:11 |
| cha0s | now | 04:11 |
| Tolaris | yes, applications:/// is no good for me as well | 04:11 |

| CarlK | cappe - when you boot, hit ESC to get to the grub menu, then pick (rescue mode) | 04:15 |
| krazykook | deepspring: how do you send a file in gaim | 04:15 |
| goofrider | u might want to try static IP, first of all | 04:15 |
| Tolaris | wow, I am feeling much love for SMEG now. :) | 04:15 |
| goofrider | zoddan, get DHCP out of the problem | 04:15 |
| cappe | ok.. I have done that once.. but it wants the root pass for mentanace.. | 04:15 |
| zoddan | goofrider: ? | 04:15 |
| jaggi | cappe, used to be able to boot the linux kernel with the "single" option added as a kernel arg, but my modern grub doesn't seem to allow it.. however, I read you can pass a 1 as an additional argument (instead of single) .. it didn't work for me but it might for you.. :) | 04:15 |
| deepspring | talk to a use and click the floppy disk icon on the bottom of the chat window | 04:16 |

| cha0s | k :/ | 04:16 |
| goofrider | zoddan, well if u can get a DHCP IP, then what's the problem? | 04:16 |
| deepspring | krazykook, I'm in xchat | 04:16 |
| Behemoth | can I compile ubuntu kernel myself or does it use some genkernel equivalent? | 04:16 |
| deepspring | krazykook, I only use gaim for msn and icq | 04:16 |
| CarlK | cappe - plan B - hit escape, then selelect (rescue mode) but don't hit enter, hit E for edit | 04:16 |
| zoddan | goofrider: i just told you | 04:16 |
| goofrider | Behemoth, use make-kpkg | 04:16 |
| zerokarmaleft | Behemoth, look into make-kpkg | 04:16 |

| cappe | but then it is just to use rw in the line right? | 04:36 |
| nobile | yeah, when I got fedora, I ruined the windows partition, somehow, I still dunno how | 04:36 |
| Tolaris | nobile - if you have run any Linux before and if your PC has fairly standard hardware, try Ubuntu. It's the easiest to desktop Linux to install and manage to date, in my opinion. | 04:36 |

| BlackHand | Carlk: very base system and install packages way | 04:37 |

| queuetue | dcraven, Arent init.d scripts required to follow some specific format, or can the script befailry simple? | 04:44 |
| goofrider | queuetue, personally, I'd put the actual script in /root, then symlink from /etc/init.d | 04:44 |
| === nobile [~nuni@65.165.85.43] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| dcraven | queuetue: or what goofrider said. | 04:44 |

| ShaneAu | iptables --flush is the command, right goofrider ? | 04:44 |
| BlackHand | Carlk: close, but the other person (in northamerica, i am in southamerica) don't know linux very well, i like that this person only put a livecd that activate ssh and let to me to work | 04:44 |

| goofrider | xml-blog, backports are breezy packages compiled for hoary | 05:53 |
| nobile | ok! | 05:53 |
| paul_ | does apt-get update d/load theubuntuaddons.zip file? | 05:53 |
| nobile | thanks! | 05:53 |
| jeroen_ | nobile, I suggest that you use synaptic. It is graphical, which you might prefer | 05:53 |
| Nalioth | nobile, two apt processes (synaptic and aptitude are frontends...) can't run at the same time (normally) | 05:53 |
| nobile | probably yes =) | 05:53 |
| jeroen_ | System -> Administration -> Synaptic package manager | 05:54 |
| nobile | oh | 05:54 |
| goofrider | xml-blog, if u must mix them, please use /etc/apt/preferences to pin them correctly, see the pat-howto (keeping a mixed system cpater) | 05:54 |
| xml-blog | goofrider, so having the backports + bpstaging + deb http://manno.name/debian/ breezy cvs is probably the cause of all my woes | 05:54 |

| goofrider | flevour, but u'r printing english and it just fell back on EN | 06:29 |
| flevour | goofrider: the sad part is that yesterday i randomly got it to print the test page at least from the web iface. but today it changed its mind again | 06:30 |
| goofrider | flevour, print another test page and see if there's another in /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog | 06:30 |
| goofrider | Fator_Dee, u think there's a cron.daily script that's hogging your system? | 06:31 |

| goofrider | Fator_Dee, hmm... probly not | 06:32 |
| Fator_Dee | goofrider: but I'll check | 06:32 |
| jeroen_ | ryman: PSU or heat problems are often the cause of that | 06:32 |
| Fator_Dee | or nvidia drivers for some | 06:33 |
| goofrider | Fator_Dee, but hardware problem should not corelate to a time of day. It's gotta be crontab or something | 06:33 |
| goofrider | flevour, I wish i can be more helpful. I think u should try posting a thread in cups.org and ubuntuforums.org, and search the msgs there as well | 06:33 |

| karljp | the open source communites response so far has been, "oh, you should use kismet" | 07:08 |
| karljp | it does all of that | 07:08 |
| timmow | what on earth does the ubuntu network dialog do? It just crashes on me | 07:08 |
| goofrider | so use that | 07:08 |
| CarlK | lol | 07:08 |
| nanaban | Q: How do I make my gnome to auto create icons on the desktop when a drive is mount? I remember it used to do that long long time ago. | 07:08 |
| timmow | and does not seem to update /etc/network/interfaces | 07:08 |
| karljp | But I need need or want all of kismet, and kismet supports an extremely limited subset of wlan cards | 07:08 |
| karljp | Ijust want more than the non-kismet tools provide | 07:08 |
| CarlK | nanaban - mine just does. | 07:08 |
| nanaban | ah... | 07:08 |
| karljp | nanaban: it has problems with some firewire drives and flashcards | 07:09 |
| karljp | but it generally just works | 07:09 |

| goofrider | nanaban, r u using NTFS drives? u might need to install ntfsprogs | 07:09 |
| nanaban | but my drives are just partitions on my hd | 07:09 |
| nanaban | 1 fat and 1 ntfs | 07:09 |
| nanaban | they are mounted at boot | 07:10 |
| karljp | oh yeah, you don't get them on your desktop | 07:10 |
| nanaban | I used to... | 07:10 |
| goofrider | nanaban, edit your fstab. internal HDDs don't automount | 07:10 |
| nanaban | and I kinda like it | 07:10 |
| nanaban | what? | 07:10 |
| Behemoth | goofrider, does ntfsprogs allows you to create files on ntfs partitions or just edit? | 07:10 |
| goofrider | Behemoth, ntfs driver in linux kernel is read-only | 07:10 |
| nanaban | goofrider, what do you mean? | 07:11 |
| goofrider | nanaban, edit /etc/fstab | 07:11 |
| nanaban | and? | 07:11 |
| thundrcleeze | goofrider, it does say in the description of the package that it allows write. | 07:11 |
| karljp | goof: and put what there? | 07:11 |
| karljp | his drives are mounted | 07:11 |
| karljp | he just doesn't have icons on the desktop | 07:11 |
| goofrider | karljp, u 'r right though. wifi support (as far as driver goes) in linux is kinda embarassing | 07:11 |
| thundrcleeze | goofrider, you're just supposed to run some fix program so it doesn't corrupt when it mounts in windows. | 07:11 |
| goofrider | BSD is even worse | 07:11 |
| Behemoth | goofrider, on what kernel is kubuntu based? cause lastest vanilla and gentoo support edit ntfs files too but not creation | 07:11 |
| karljp | well the driver world isn't too bad, | 07:11 |
| karljp | ndiswrapper is pretty reliable | 07:12 |
| Behemoth | goofrider, I mean ubuntu | 07:12 |
| karljp | if you didn't have ndiswrapper it would be basicalyl worthless though | 07:12 |
| nanaban | goofrider, please continue, what do I need to edit /etc/fstab | 07:12 |
| goofrider | thundrcleeze, IIRC, write support is unofficial and experiental. it might have chnaged recently but last time I check was a month ago | 07:12 |
| karljp | behemoth: there are some very nasty restrictions on editing ntfs files | 07:12 |
| karljp | I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole | 07:12 |
| goofrider | thundrcleeze, if u mount it read-only, u should be fine | 07:13 |
| karljp | and I find it odd that gentoo allows it by default | 07:13 |

| thundrcleeze | Florob, also, tell me a linux-equiv. for red alert. | 08:36 |
| HappyFool | karljp: it might be an idea to switch to single-user mode before doing the mount | 08:36 |
| levander | karljp: yeah, i've gotta link to /home on another partition, it's not a big deal | 08:36 |
| karljp | I guess that was where I was really confused about it, | 08:37 |
| dcraven | deejaykay: Cool, thanks. Probably those who had a problem with it are best suited to update it. | 08:37 |
| Florob | thundrcleeze: well, maybe except specific games, thats a point for you. | 08:37 |
| karljp | I really just wish I'd been able to setup lvm at install time | 08:37 |
| thundrcleeze | JairunCaloth, I don't know how Cedega will help solve your problems, it's a commercial fork of wine. You still won't be able to r/w to NTFS. | 08:37 |

| holycow | what i find stressfull is things like windows, where things happen, not necessarily for any discernable reason, and in most instances you cant do anything more than reinstall | 11:17 |

| hawke | holycow: though I've also found a couple of cases where a problem is totally mysterious, in all cases removing and replacing my ~ has been sufficient to "fix" them | 11:18 |
