| === KrisWood sighs | ||
| cafuego | TMM: if you want speed and (relative) reliability, go XFS. | 04:31 |

| cafuego | TMM: If you want soemthing that won't eat your data, go ext3. | 04:31 |
| TMM | cafuego: xfs is faster than reiser3? | 04:31 |
| dampjam | seeing as I cannot for the life of me get 5.04 to install, I might as well use the breezy install | 04:31 |
| cafuego | TMM: Depends on the system. | 04:31 |
| sproingie | TMM: xfs zooms on amd64, it's a 64 bit fs natively. does just ok on x86 | 04:31 |

| cafuego | KrisWood: Mind you, it may be afeature the driver authors might add | 04:43 |

| IIIEars | sudo su is suggested - and a MUCH better idea. | 05:45 |

| nalioth | tiglionabbit: not an answer, but "get rid of windoze"? | 06:20 |
| TMM | tiglionabbit: sorry, I don't know... standard answer is : make sure you have a /boot partition of 10-15 megabytes at the very beginning of the disk | 06:20 |
| psychonate | tiglionabbit, google the error | 06:20 |
| psychonate | the exact error | 06:20 |
| sri | IIIEars: the decss works fine it's somethign to do with the audio | 06:21 |
| tiglionabbit | I did | 06:21 |
| tiglionabbit | it says this: 17 : Cannot mount selected partition | 06:21 |
| tiglionabbit | This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB. | 06:21 |
| psychonate | sri, you have all the gstreamer plugins installed, and you restarted totem? | 06:21 |
| TMM | tiglionabbit: but I thought the newer bootloaders (lilo and grub) don't need that anymore... if they do, try using a partion editor such as qparted to resize | 06:21 |
| IIIEars | xine+xine-ui worked for me. | 06:21 |
| TMM | tiglionabbit: if that is the matter, than that's probably exactly what the problem is :) | 06:21 |
| psychonate | I like Ubuntu, but the "restricted formats" crap drives me nuts | 06:22 |
| tiglionabbit | what do I do about it then? | 06:22 |
| TMM | tiglionabbit: you probably installed an xfs or something root partition that grub can't read | 06:22 |
| tiglionabbit | ? | 06:22 |
| sri | psychonate: I have. | 06:22 |
| psychonate | huh | 06:22 |
| psychonate | dunno then | 06:22 |
| psychonate | I use xine for DVDs myself | 06:22 |
| psychonate | does running totem from the CL | 06:22 |
| TMM | tiglionabbit: probably best to reinstall with another root partition filesystem... | 06:23 |
| psychonate | offer any helpful output? | 06:23 |
| sri | psychonate: the strange thing is that mplayer doesn't work either..and thats really bizarre..mplayer alwayas works | 06:23 |
| tiglionabbit | no, there are two hard disks. One has windows XP, ntfs format. The other has an ntfs, fat32, and ubuntu on ext3 | 06:23 |
| psychonate | sri, yeah, it won't even play the DVD, will it? | 06:23 |
| tiglionabbit | ttm: what does that mean? | 06:23 |
| psychonate | sri, there's a bug with the mplayer build for Ubuntu AFAIK | 06:23 |

| jasmuz | psychonate: dont be a smarty pants!....it dosent play that way...barf's up an error on me | 06:27 |

| TMM | tiglionabbit: that's where the partition editor comes in :) there are tools to resize an existing partion to make room for a new partition... so you can make a small, extra partition at the start | 06:28 |
| tiglionabbit | not partition magic. Will the partitioner on the install disk for hoary work? | 06:28 |
| tiglionabbit | I mean, are they able to resize a partition from its start, rather than end, without killing any data? | 06:28 |

| nutorian | nickrud, alright Ill try it ok | 07:22 |
| jasoncohen | Jim_the_LNX_NUB, apt-get install vlc | 07:22 |
| jasoncohen | then do man apt-get | 07:22 |
| jasoncohen | and man apt-cache | 07:22 |
| sri | Jim_the_LNX_NUB: use synaptic | 07:22 |
| jasoncohen | or that | 07:22 |
| iceman_ | well | 07:23 |
| blackgibson | Jim_the_LNX_NUB: http://www.ubuntuguide.org/ | 07:23 |
| Hmmmm | Jim_the_LNX_NUB, vlc rocks... get it at any cost | 07:23 |
| Jim_the_LNX_NUB | sorry- How do I find apt get- is it command line only or is there a GUI somewhere in the menu? | 07:23 |
| nickrud | psychonate, :) | 07:23 |
| sri | Jim_the_LNX_NUB: synaptic is in System->Administration | 07:23 |
| nutorian | nickrud, how do I cease mplayer from running | 07:23 |
| tiglionabbit | jim: synaptic is a front-end for apt-get | 07:23 |
| jasoncohen | Jim_the_LNX_NUB, apt-get is a command. you can use synaptic if you want a gui tool. Synaptic is very nice | 07:23 |
| NicP | the gui program you want is synaptic | 07:23 |
| Jim_the_LNX_NUB | ahh- thats what I needed to know | 07:23 |
| Jim_the_LNX_NUB | thank you very much | 07:23 |
| nickrud | nutorian killall mplayer will probably do it | 07:23 |
| sri | Jim_the_LNX_NUB: enjoy | 07:23 |
| tiglionabbit | nickrud: gmplayer usually | 07:24 |
| nickrud | tiglionabbit I never use gmplayer | 07:24 |
| nickrud | so, habit | 07:24 |
| tiglionabbit | actually ,the best way to kill something is | 07:24 |
| sri | Jim_the_LNX_NUB: to help you, click on 'Sections' button at the buttom of the list, it breaks the packages down by software type | 07:24 |
| tiglionabbit | add to your taskbar the widget that kills malfunctioning programs | 07:24 |
| psychonate | nickrud, my config file looks much nicer now | 07:24 |

| jasoncohen | TMM, ok, thanks | 07:25 |
| benplaut | Hmmmm: plenty... what's your question? | 07:26 |
| psychonate | nickrud, I think I used to have some "backports" repository or something | 07:26 |
| psychonate | know anything about that? | 07:26 |
| tiglionabbit | psychonate: http://backports.ubuntuforums.com | 07:26 |
| nickrud | tiglionabbit I've been using gnome for 5 years, that's new to me, although I've seen | 07:26 |
| nickrud | it in other wm's. | 07:26 |
| Jim_the_LNX_NUB | What do I do if the software I am looking for is not listed- I see abi word, (which I wanted) but not VLC- I tried search, but it didn't find it? | 07:26 |

| Hmmmm | yes iv installed the codecs | 07:27 |
| psychonate | oh? | 07:27 |
| psychonate | not good to use the backports then? | 07:27 |
| tiglionabbit | jim: click on settings->repositories, then hit Settings, check "Display disabled repositories", hit OK, and check the repositories it lists to get more sources | 07:27 |
| Jim_the_LNX_NUB | ahh, thank you | 07:27 |
| tiglionabbit | psychonate: read the website-- it lists mirrors | 07:27 |
| nickrud | yeah, the developers can only guarantee their own work; if they put something in backports, ok | 07:28 |

| blackgibson | Jim_the_LNX_NUB: http://www.ubuntuguide.org/ -- it will walk you thru installing a billion usefull bits onto a fresh ubuntu install | 07:29 |

| NicP | ive always wondered | 07:47 |
| LiberalTugboat | jasoncohen, those are 3 major components | 07:47 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: yes you can | 07:47 |
| blackgibson | if only Ardour would get stable, i could ditch my dual boot | 07:47 |
| NicP | whats the differance between idol and away from computer on gaim | 07:47 |
| NicP | *idle | 07:47 |
| LiberalTugboat | yeah I am looking at it right now, it is pretty up to date | 07:47 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, maybe so, but i can barely tell a difference between KDE 3.3 and 3.4 whereas i would notice not having updates for mysql-4.1 and openvpn | 07:47 |
| LiberalTugboat | pretty much in sync with Sid | 07:47 |

| LiberalTugboat | kde 3.4 is a bit faster and prettier | 07:48 |
| JDahl | LiberalTugboat, for actual work I bet Sarge is great for most people... I installed Hoary on my work machine and it does crash every now and then, and I dont really need hotplug or multimedia at work | 07:48 |
| jasoncohen | ubuntu has a lot of packages in universe. debian's main repository is quite massive | 07:48 |
| === BeerDump [~jsg@202.57.71.235] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jasoncohen | and debian testing is very stable | 07:48 |
| LiberalTugboat | I agree, production enviroments sarge is great | 07:48 |
| === BeerDump is now known as jsg | ||
| LiberalTugboat | but the question was about desktop usage | 07:49 |
| === jsg is now known as jgotangco | ||
| jasoncohen | my biggest gripe with ubuntu is the lack of security support on universe packages and the size of universe v. main | 07:49 |
| LiberalTugboat | and sarge cant compete there | 07:49 |
| jasoncohen | other than that ubuntu clearly is better for desktop | 07:49 |

| psychonate | anathema, what is it? | 07:50 |
| LiberalTugboat | its there job to keep up with universe packages | 07:50 |
| anathema | ahh i figured it out | 07:50 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, do you use KDE 3.4? | 07:50 |
| anathema | the cxommand you said dindt work..couldnt find the file | 07:50 |
| anathema | buut | 07:50 |
| jasoncohen | how is KDE in ubuntu? | 07:50 |
| anathema | got it nowe | 07:50 |
| LiberalTugboat | no I use gnome 2.10 | 07:50 |
| jgotangco | jasoncohen, Kubuntu | 07:50 |
| nern | kubuntu is pretty nice too | 07:50 |
| LiberalTugboat | but kubuntu is pretty nice | 07:50 |
| nern | if you like kde | 07:50 |
| anathema | thanks for your help..im out psychonate :D | 07:50 |
| LiberalTugboat | it is not as polished | 07:50 |
| psychonate | anathema, working? | 07:51 |
| === iceman [~iceman@ip68-103-13-66.ks.ok.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| nern | no not as polished | 07:51 |
| nern | and kde is kde so.... | 07:51 |
| jasoncohen | can't you get all the functionality of kubuntu by installing kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu? | 07:51 |
| LiberalTugboat | they are still on their first release | 07:51 |
| transgress | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will make ubuntu have kde... although that didn't work out real well when i tried it... | 07:51 |
| LiberalTugboat | yea | 07:51 |
| iceman | is xfce available as with aptitude ... ? | 07:51 |
| cafuego | !info xfce | 07:51 |
| transgress | apt... not aptitude | 07:51 |
| === psychonate uses xfce. | ||
| LiberalTugboat | personally I think gnome is more usable | 07:51 |
| nern | apt-get install xfce4 | 07:51 |
| jgotangco | LiberalTugboat, yeah, i actually write current documentation for ubuntu/kubuntu but there are going to be some very interesting changes in kubuntu for 5.10 | 07:51 |

| jasoncohen | well, ubuntu was the first time that i thought gnome was actually nice | 07:51 |
| crimsun | the metapackage is xfce4 | 07:51 |
| === transgress uses kde right now... | ||
| nern | xfce4 is beaut | 07:52 |
| psychonate | and that's why your nick is transgress ;) | 07:52 |

| LiberalTugboat | xfce4 is FAST!!! | 07:52 |
| === cafuego eyes ubotu | ||
| nern | if I had a laptop id use xfce on it | 07:52 |
| jasoncohen | it seems like ubuntu is doing a lot for desktop users | 07:52 |
| LiberalTugboat | everthing opens in half the time using xfce4 | 07:52 |
| anathema | how do you use the dvd menus in xine psychonate ? | 07:52 |
| psychonate | blackgibson, ironically enough though, your DE dies easy ;) | 07:52 |
| psychonate | jk, jk | 07:52 |
| nern | its really a great desktop distro | 07:52 |
| transgress | iceman: why not just do sudo apt-get install xfce4 and say fuck aptitude it's overkill to install one thing. | 07:52 |
| jasoncohen | well, i'm convinced | 07:52 |
| psychonate | anathema, click with mouse | 07:52 |
| === [Brian] [~Brian@wa-pullman-cuda1e-232.losaca.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| jasoncohen | i'm going to install ubuntu on my laptop | 07:53 |
| anathema | not wokring :( | 07:53 |
| iceman | transgress xfce4 ... thanks | 07:53 |
| transgress | jasoncohen: works well on mine | 07:53 |
| jgotangco | jasoncohen, there are some interesting stuff discussed on kubuntu during the last developer meeting which is available at http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com | 07:53 |
| crimsun | transgress: aptitude tracks package use and logs attempted actions. | 07:53 |
| jgotangco | jasoncohen, for server as well, i have all my servers running stock 5.04 | 07:53 |
| transgress | attempted actions? | 07:53 |
| nern | really? | 07:53 |
| anathema | ah its the dvd | 07:53 |
| anathema | shitty thing | 07:53 |
| crimsun | transgress: install, remove, purge, etc. | 07:53 |
| psychonate | no menu? | 07:53 |
| iceman | transgress i tried with just xfce .. and got nothing thats why i ask .. | 07:53 |
| blackgibson | psychonate: only ever have problems with gnome-panel...and not to often.. milage may vary though | 07:54 |
| jasoncohen | and ubuntu reconfigured synaptic right so that it has a graphical installer page (rather than the terminal page debian has) | 07:54 |
| psychonate | anathema, if you got it from p2p, they probably had cut some features out to get the size down | 07:54 |
| === Morten^Toft [~Morten^To@netsvc-ext.microsource.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| psychonate | oh | 07:54 |
| transgress | and god was it ugly | 07:54 |
| psychonate | mine seems to work alright | 07:54 |

| psychonate | dvdnav | 07:54 |
| iceman | transgress i know, reason i ask is maybe i was mistaken .. xfce4 went right to gettin it .. thanks | 07:54 |
| nern | id just open up synaptic and search for xfce | 07:54 |
| LiberalTugboat | 18 month security updates | 07:54 |
| LiberalTugboat | release every 6 months | 07:55 |

| jgotangco | LiberalTugboat, yes, you can thank pitti for the security stuff :) | 07:55 |
| LiberalTugboat | and corporate backing | 07:55 |
| crimsun | it's xfce4. Trust me, jani and I worked hard on moving it into Hoary. | 07:55 |
| jgotangco | LiberalTugboat, yes, but remember, majority of Ubuntu devels are community people | 07:55 |
| jasoncohen | how long ago was the first ubuntu release? | 07:55 |
| LiberalTugboat | but we all need to still give love to debian, because with out it there would be no ubuntu :) | 07:55 |
| jgotangco | jasoncohen, October 2004 | 07:56 |
| nern | exactly | 07:56 |
| jasoncohen | damn, ubuntu is new | 07:56 |
| |QuaD-_ | is it possible to fix the ubuntu breezy font problem not allowing gnucash to start without restarting x | 07:56 |
| nern | yeah it is | 07:56 |
| jgotangco | LiberalTugboat, ubuntu depends a lot on Debian sid upstream | 07:56 |
| jasoncohen | lol...a year newer than woody | 07:56 |
| nern | breezys not ready | 07:56 |
| LiberalTugboat | have they finished the c++ switch in breezy yet? | 07:56 |
| nern | its not ready | 07:56 |
| transgress | |QuaD-_: it's not possible to fix breezy right now | 07:56 |
| |QuaD-_ | transgress: haha :) | 07:56 |
| transgress | |QuaD-_: perhaps in a few months when it's fixed. | 07:56 |
| jasoncohen | when will breezy be in a useable state? | 07:56 |
| === iceman [~iceman@ip68-103-13-66.ks.ok.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| nern | when its released | 07:56 |
| nern | :) | 07:56 |
| transgress | jasoncohen: months. | 07:56 |
| |QuaD-_ | jasoncohen: i am using it now, and its more or less useable | 07:56 |
| LiberalTugboat | jason, when the preview comes out | 07:56 |
| NicP | yeah when its released :P | 07:57 |
| crimsun | LiberalTugboat: no, not yet | 07:57 |
| nern | i think its october when its gonna be released right? | 07:57 |
| transgress | |QuaD-_: do not say something that stupid. breezy is still quite broken. and don't get people thinking it's a good idea to use it. | 07:57 |
| [Brian] | does anyone know how to get the terminal (in runlevel 3) to clear after a user has logged out? I'm looking for a global setting... | 07:57 |
| jgotangco | nern, yes breezy will be out in October 2005 (5.10) | 07:57 |
| jasoncohen | from what i hear breezy is in much worse shape than sid | 07:57 |
| crimsun | [Brian] : "clear"? | 07:57 |
| jgotangco | jasoncohen, understandable, it is still being developed | 07:57 |
| LiberalTugboat | jasoncohen, thats because of the switch the gcc 4 | 07:57 |
| crimsun | [Brian] : add clear to ~/.bash_logout | 07:57 |
| jasoncohen | so it's like debian's experimental | 07:57 |
| TMM | |QuaD-_: what's new and shiny in breezy anyway? | 07:58 |
| === lqs [~lqs@220.170.240.95] has left #ubuntu [""] | ||

| === bienve [~REal@200.88.199.230] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| |QuaD-_ | TMM: not any new features that have impressed me (i might not know about most of them) but updated packages, mono 1.1.7, etc | 07:58 |
| transgress | does sid have xorg yet? | 07:58 |
| angelo | anyone install the gimp 2.3 version ? | 07:58 |
| jasoncohen | jgotangco, because nothing radical is going into unstable until after sarge is released...and testing is frozen so there's nowhere for it to go | 07:59 |
| LiberalTugboat | jgotangco, i think he is compairing the stability to deb experimental | 07:59 |
| jasoncohen | transgress, no, sid has xfree 4.3 | 07:59 |
| jgotangco | ah | 07:59 |
| crimsun | it's not really 4.3 | 07:59 |
| TMM | I have been using sid for years, and it's been rock solid, but if it breaks, it breaks BIG... like the pam screwup a year orso back... :) | 07:59 |
| jasoncohen | TMM, mono 1.1.7 is in backports, right? | 07:59 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: no clue, sorry | 07:59 |
| transgress | that's the main reason i quit using sarge... wanted updated xorg... ubuntu pulled me from debian... well really it pulled me from gentoo but still. | 07:59 |
| crimsun | it's much closer to 4.3.99 than 4.3 | 07:59 |
| === jgotangco is now known as jsgotangco | ||
| angelo | what this mean ? : checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool | 08:00 |
| LiberalTugboat | well at the rate debian moves they will be using xorg by 2009 | 08:00 |
| cafuego | And Xorg for Sid will probably be released over the coming week or two. packages are ready, but Sarge needs to be released first. | 08:00 |
| cafuego | LiberalTugboat: Sarge is due for release on sunday. | 08:00 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, actually, they're just waiting until sarge is released | 08:00 |
| TMM | LiberalTugboat: they'll move to xorg as soon as sarge is released, which will be next week... the packages are laregly done afaik | 08:00 |
| === Kingmilo [~root@kingmilo.user] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, then gnome 2.10, kde 3.4 and xorg will be put into unstable | 08:00 |
| Kingmilo | woah. morning :) | 08:01 |
| LiberalTugboat | yeah Lets hope they can get that thing out the door | 08:01 |
| LiberalTugboat | I am getting tired of the "hype" | 08:01 |
| === Elyseum [~Elyseum@d5153EF05.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| cafuego | TMM: Mind you, that depends if they go with DS's packages or Brandens. | 08:01 |
| angelo | what this mean ? : checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool | 08:01 |
| LiberalTugboat | it keeps showing up on news pages | 08:01 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, remember...almost all the packages in ubuntu are taken from sid. ubuntu has a newer kernel and newer window managers but a lot of the work is still being done by debian | 08:01 |
| cafuego | LiberalTugboat: it's like Hoary for 15-odd arches. | 08:01 |
| transgress | as much as i'm a debian freak that doesn't use debian now heh, i'm not all hyped... i'm more hyped about seeing if they do as they say and start making regular releases | 08:01 |
| jasoncohen | some 16,000 packages on 11 architectures are built, and tested by debian users | 08:01 |
| TMM | cafuego: hmmm... they'll probably go brandens | 08:01 |
| TMM | cafuego: x strike force has a good track record | 08:02 |
| LiberalTugboat | well with some stuff like xorg we ubuntu has been the one doing alot of the work that will go into the next sid | 08:02 |
| cafuego | TMM: I used the DS ones on me laptop (radeon igp, so Xorg supported it) | 08:02 |
| jasoncohen | transgress, if the vancouver proposal is realized they'll have 12-18 month releases on 4 archs | 08:02 |
| LiberalTugboat | its kind of a give and take situation | 08:02 |
| cafuego | LiberalTugboat: Maybe, maybe not. | 08:02 |
| Kingmilo | Any attempted to install Ubuntu on a IBM R51 laptop, wondering if it will enable all the features of the laptop, or is there going to have to be a lot of work? :) | 08:02 |
| TMM | cafuego: I compiled xorg from source on my laptop, radeon igp too :) | 08:02 |

| transgress | so will sid be moved to testing once sarge is released and we get what is it... etchy as unstable? | 08:03 |
| TMM | cafuego: I even have a nifty "hold all x packages" script so sid would stop reinstalling X all the bloody time :) | 08:03 |
| cafuego | TMM: I had the XF 4.3.99-rc3 source (igp patch) but that failed to compile | 08:03 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, unfortunately, not much from ubuntu is going back into debian | 08:03 |
| crimsun | transgress: no, sid == sid always | 08:03 |
| cafuego | TMM: No, sid is always sid. | 08:03 |
| jasoncohen | transgress, no- sid is always sid | 08:03 |
| transgress | oh | 08:03 |
| transgress | i see | 08:03 |
| cafuego | transgress: The new testing will be Etch. | 08:03 |
| jasoncohen | testing will be the new etch | 08:03 |
| cafuego | transgress: Etch will also get official amd64 support. | 08:03 |
| TMM | cafuego: I know... sid will never release | 08:03 |
| LiberalTugboat | jasoncohen, thats not totally true, we upstream alot of bug fixes to sid | 08:04 |
| cafuego | TMM: That was tab gone bad :-) | 08:04 |
| transgress | sweet... amd64 might make me move my lappy | 08:04 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, really, i didn't know that | 08:04 |
| LiberalTugboat | there has been a good amount of talk about it before | 08:04 |
| TMM | cafuego: you know what debian should do? add i686 as an official arch... to shut up all those gentoo users :) | 08:04 |

| LiberalTugboat | yeah anything that is fixed for ubuntu is seeded back to debian | 08:04 |
| cafuego | TMM: with as only different the default kernel and libc6-686? | 08:04 |
| transgress | cafuego: yeah i know... it gave me shit some though. | 08:04 |
| br33zy | im trying to configure samba | 08:04 |
| psychonate | nice | 08:05 |
| br33zy | and i have followed many guides and shit online | 08:05 |
| br33zy | but I just can't login | 08:05 |
| jasoncohen | how long did it take ubuntu to fix the firefox 1.0.4 issue where patched firefox's couldn't download extensions? | 08:05 |
| psychonate | move over ater and Eterm | 08:05 |
| cafuego | transgress: same here, though that was mainly due to the archive server sucking. | 08:05 |
| psychonate | xterm is impressive | 08:05 |
| br33zy | i'm using my own system ueer & pass | 08:05 |
| psychonate | er | 08:05 |
| TMM | cafuego: nah, anally compile everything with all the cool gcc switches for processors and the like :) | 08:05 |
| br33zy | and it always rejects it | 08:05 |
| psychonate | xterminal* | 08:05 |
| transgress | cafuego: yep heh | 08:05 |
| br33zy | what could be the problem? | 08:05 |
| LiberalTugboat | jasoncohen, i dont htink it is fixed yet | 08:05 |
| LiberalTugboat | there is a work around | 08:05 |
| cafuego | TMM: They should be forced to use -pedantic, i bet NOTHING would compile. | 08:05 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, what's the work around? | 08:05 |
| cafuego | transgress: That's why I went to ubuntu as well :-) | 08:05 |
| transgress | eh i noticed massive difference between gentoo and slackware, but hardly any between gentoo and debian | 08:06 |
| TMM | cafuego: hahha | 08:06 |
| LiberalTugboat | change a line in the settings for firefox | 08:06 |
| jasoncohen | why didn't they just give it a 1.0.4 version title...1.0.3 and 1.0.4 were only security updates anyways | 08:06 |
| crimsun | jasoncohen: no, they weren't only security-related | 08:06 |
| LiberalTugboat | has to do with freezing | 08:06 |
| transgress | although i'm slightly annoyed about firefox in ubuntu only compiled with gnome-support on | 08:06 |
| jasoncohen | crimsun, what else was added? | 08:06 |
| LiberalTugboat | you cant change ANY package versions after the freeze | 08:06 |
| crimsun | jasoncohen: 1.0.4 also had a number of bugfixes | 08:06 |
| LiberalTugboat | again this is something they have been discussing | 08:07 |
| crimsun | jasoncohen: to reversion the package as 1.0.4 would be wrong | 08:07 |
| jasoncohen | bugfixes aren't backported? | 08:07 |
| crimsun | jasoncohen: not into hoary-security | 08:07 |
| LiberalTugboat | one option that has been proposed is an "official" backports project | 08:07 |

| LiberalTugboat | jasoncohen, security patched are backported and bug fixes if it is a must | 08:07 |
| === hyphenated [~cgilmour@202.152.224.26] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jasoncohen | is a "stable" release really necessary? debian testing is as stable as ubuntu without the freeze | 08:08 |
| LiberalTugboat | but if you go to the themes site for firefox it will tell youhow to do the work around | 08:08 |
| LiberalTugboat | jasoncohen, YES!! | 08:08 |
| crimsun | jasoncohen: a stable release every 6 months is integral to the schedule, heh | 08:08 |
| crimsun | it wouldn't be much of a "schedule" otherwise, heh | 08:09 |
| LiberalTugboat | if you want schools and businesses to use it | 08:09 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, well, you can just release 6 month snapshots | 08:09 |

| LiberalTugboat | jasoncohen, that is what they do now | 08:09 |
| niran | jasoncohen, new package name | 08:09 |
| psychonate | everyone, especially xfce users, I bid you install the "xterminal" package if you have not already | 08:09 |
| niran | jasoncohen, plain firefox | 08:09 |
| jasoncohen | you can call anything stable..it doesn't make it so | 08:09 |
| LiberalTugboat | but you have to get all the kinks out | 08:10 |
| jasoncohen | fedora isn't stable :) | 08:10 |
| niran | jasoncohen, i think... | 08:10 |
| psychonate | it will replace 'terminal' | 08:10 |

| LiberalTugboat | where redhat steals all the hardwork the community puts forward | 08:10 |
| crimsun | they're just snapshots that have been frozen months in advance of the stable release | 08:10 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, and debian does...packages don't go from unstable to testing unless they have been tested for 2/5/10 days depending on severity and don't create any new serious bugs | 08:10 |

| LiberalTugboat | jasoncohen, but debian testing has also been in development for 2.5 years | 08:11 |
| blackgibson | my Ubuntu CDs got here before Core 4 did though so i jumped ship | 08:11 |
| jasoncohen | crimsun, yeah, i know ubuntu uses a snapshot of sid but couldn't the release constantly update with official snapshots for businesses that want some stability? | 08:11 |
| LiberalTugboat | once sarge is released testing will be in shambles | 08:11 |
| crimsun | jasoncohen: that's why each release is 6 months apart | 08:11 |
| LiberalTugboat | well atleast as bad as sid is at the time | 08:11 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, no it won't...unstable might be bad | 08:12 |

| LiberalTugboat | well when sarge is released they will dumb a snap shot of sid into testing | 08:12 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, what's "testing" to debian is probably more stable than 90% of distros as debian's definition of stable is very, very strict | 08:12 |
| jasoncohen | yeah, TMM is right. that's why there's experimental | 08:13 |

| jasoncohen | nothing big can change in unstable until sarge is released | 08:14 |
| crimsun | magicbean: you'll probably find a lighter desktop environment more bearable | 08:14 |

| LiberalTugboat | it will suck with gnome or kde | 08:14 |
| magicbean | thanks | 08:15 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: also, 'stable' doesn't refer to the stability of the system, it refers to the stability of the software VERSIONS, as in, in debian stable NO software will get a new version, EVER. *ONLY* security patches, this means, that for instance in the case of mozilla, all the security patches are backported into the version that stable shipped with. | 08:15 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: and, 'unstable' doesn't refer to stability of the software either, but just that software comes and goes as they please | 08:16 |
| jasoncohen | TMM, yeah- tha'ts necessary for a production environment | 08:16 |
| jasoncohen | you don't want a new version screwing up your custom apache and mysql modules | 08:16 |
| LiberalTugboat | jasoncohen, and that is what ubuntu is working to produce | 08:16 |

| LiberalTugboat | the general public doesnt need bleeding edge, but they also dont need a new package screwing everything up | 08:17 |
| LiberalTugboat | thats why they freeze | 08:17 |
| nickrud | for a good def between stable and not | 08:17 |
| TMM | nickrud: np | 08:17 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, i agree with you that ubuntu is better for a desktop. I'm just trying to make the point that debian has given a hell of a lot, and is itself damn good and quite stable for most purposes. | 08:17 |
| LiberalTugboat | its only linux dorks who want that latest point release | 08:18 |
| LiberalTugboat | yeah I agree there | 08:18 |
| TMM | nickrud: it seems to get a lot of people confused... 'why do you run an unstable operating system'? and questions like that... to 'other' people I always refer to debian sid, not debian unstable... | 08:18 |
| === magicbean [~beano@207.168.171.197] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| jasoncohen | i found that debian testing fit my needs better than ubuntu for a mythtvbackend/frontend, ssh/samba/nfs/cups server | 08:18 |
| LiberalTugboat | debian just needs to release more | 08:18 |
| jasoncohen | oh and apache and mysql server as well | 08:18 |
| LiberalTugboat | it was way to long between woody and sarge | 08:18 |
| nickrud | TMM yeah, the guy that breaks your system ; | 08:18 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, it should but most users in non-production environments use testing so it isn't a really big deal | 08:18 |
| LiberalTugboat | and they lost users becuase of it | 08:19 |
| TMM | nickrud: indeed :) I love the naming of debian :) | 08:19 |
| crimsun | debian is a fine distro. nearly all the ubuntu developers are DDs. | 08:19 |
| LiberalTugboat | but debians main home is in production and server | 08:19 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, as "testing" is not what would be considered testing for other distros. lol the fc4 tests didn't even install for some | 08:19 |
| Guerin | LiberalTugboat: opinion. | 08:19 |
| TMM | LiberalTugboat: debian was always intended to be used to build operating systems out of... and it's being used for that more and more... the debian 'stable' releases are just that... rock solid os's | 08:19 |
| jasoncohen | i hope they switch to a 12-18 month release | 08:19 |
| Guerin | i hopt debian doesn't try to stick to time-based releases | 08:20 |
| jasoncohen | a 12-18 month "stable" release would be a damn good server | 08:20 |
| cyphase | Does anyone have any feature requests for an IM client? | 08:20 |
| Guerin | that said, more frequent releases would be better | 08:20 |
| monchy | they were talking about that somewhere, a 12-18 month release cycle that is | 08:20 |
| jasoncohen | rock solid stability and relatively up to date packages (for server usage) with backports if you need them | 08:20 |
| jasoncohen | 3 years is just crazy though | 08:20 |
| jasoncohen | monchy, the vancouver proposal | 08:20 |
| LiberalTugboat | yeah that is getting a little old for nothing be security fixes | 08:20 |
| jasoncohen | monchy, switching from 11 to 4 official archs | 08:20 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: why? it works, it keeps working, and it's secure... for most things, woody is still sufficient, just not for desktop usage | 08:20 |
| monchy | yeah that was it, couldn't remember. thanks :) | 08:21 |
| LiberalTugboat | and you cant run a server using sid (nor testing) | 08:21 |
| === arbscht [~arbscht@60-234-141-107.bitstream.orcon.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| jasoncohen | you would be amazed at how many bugs are related to relatively unused arches like sparc and arm | 08:21 |
| psychonate | Here is my screenshot: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/psychonate/xfce4aqua-sclaed.jpg | 08:21 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, you could run a non-production server on testing | 08:21 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: you can drag in pretty much ANY peice of kit into your server room and install debian stable on it, with EXACTLY the same prodedure, have the same software available, and run the same services... for a lot of people this is invaluable... say, for ISP's | 08:22 |
| LiberalTugboat | yeah and what percent of people use sparc and arm? | 08:22 |
| jasoncohen | i.e - i could run a serve on it | 08:22 |
| psychonate | I like the look, but it appears really, really odd because of my twinview setup heh | 08:22 |
| crimsun | Micksa: describe where the boot stops | 08:22 |
| LiberalTugboat | jasoncohen, I was under the impression only stable got security fixes | 08:22 |
| monchy | looks good, and don't take it personally but i'm sick of the aqua look lol | 08:22 |
| psychonate | heh | 08:22 |
| jasoncohen | TMM, but it's missing some new server apps like openvpn and new features in apache but i guess that's what backports are for | 08:22 |
| psychonate | I guess I could switch it. | 08:22 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: for fun you should see how many ISPs will support newer versions of PHP and the like just weeks after a new debian release, it's striking, really :) I expect a lot more ISPs to start offering mysql5 for instance :) | 08:22 |
| monchy | i had too much of it when i used to visit aqua soft | 08:23 |
| psychonate | I'm in love with that theme for my player though | 08:23 |
| Micksa | say wha? | 08:23 |
| jasoncohen | LiberalTugboat, you are right- but security fixes do go into testing within a few days of getting into unstable | 08:23 |
| psychonate | It's actually a winamp 2.x theme | 08:23 |
| Micksa | just before root is mounted ;) | 08:23 |
| jasoncohen | generally not that far behind other distros | 08:23 |
| Tyche | crimson liveraltuboat blackgibson niran When I try to install things from there, it says that it is not authorized and that it will not install. | 08:23 |
| psychonate | lesser-known fact: XMMS can use the winamp 2.x themes (classic themes) | 08:23 |
| Micksa | this is an existing install that i've moved to a new laptop | 08:23 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: testing is useless as a server, really, totally utterly useless :) | 08:23 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: sid's better suited, really | 08:23 |
| psychonate | many of which are pretty fine-looking | 08:23 |
| jasoncohen | TMM, why? | 08:23 |
| LiberalTugboat | tyche you need to DL the gpg key | 08:23 |
| niran | Tyche, it's a warning, you can choose to install it anyway | 08:23 |
| niran | i think, right? | 08:23 |
| Guerin | TMM: that's arguable too. | 08:23 |
| LiberalTugboat | or ignore it | 08:24 |
| LiberalTugboat | (thats what I do) | 08:24 |
| LiberalTugboat | heh | 08:24 |
| Guerin | you can argue security; I can argue breakage | 08:24 |
| niran | yeah, me too | 08:24 |
| jasoncohen | TMM, so you wouldn't mind a 3 year release cycle for a server? | 08:24 |
| crimsun | Micksa: what are you trying to do? | 08:24 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: because of the security stuff, it's the only distribution in existance today without a security team :) | 08:24 |
| Guerin | testing is a decent plan for servers if you're preapred to manage security actively. | 08:24 |
| Tyche | LiberalTugboat I did the gpg instructions...(before) should I do it after? everything looked like it worked before. | 08:24 |

| Micksa | http://www.antoniocheca.com/wp/content-text/ubuntu-inspiron6000.html | 08:25 |

| Micksa | crimsun: not on its own, no | 08:28 |
| Micksa | crimsun: by the look of things, if you install ubuntu *fresh* on this machine it all goes fine | 08:29 |
| Guerin | how do you think backports.org make all their packages? It's peasy if you really want it. | 08:29 |
| jasoncohen | TMM, but it's easier on windows because all packages are in binary form and can be used on basically any NT version | 08:29 |
| Micksa | probably because the install process figures out what modules to get initrd to load | 08:29 |
| jasoncohen | and some 95/98/NT/XP | 08:29 |
| Micksa | but I dunno how to do that on an existing install :) | 08:29 |

| monchy | don't say office or you'll be lynched lol | 08:36 |
| blackgibson | my DRV-109 diddnt come with any cables either | 08:36 |
| jasoncohen | docs i write in OO print fine, look good in OO and ms, can be edited on windows or linux etc. | 08:36 |
| jasoncohen | OO or word i should say | 08:36 |
| Guerin | Methynutnut: write in plain text unless you really need fancy formatting and so on; in which case use TeX or XML or something which was actually designed for the purpose | 08:36 |
| jasoncohen | lol if only OO started up as fast as word | 08:36 |
| LiberalTugboat | yeah she is even doing a powerpoint presentation on OOo here and working on it in Office at school | 08:37 |
| cafuego | jasoncohen: if you also preload half of OO at bootup, of course it will. | 08:37 |
| Madpilot | Guerin: um, AFAIK OOo does use XML as a file format... | 08:37 |
| jasoncohen | nope, even with the OO autoloader in KDE it still takes a while | 08:38 |
| Guerin | Madpilot: XML is not a file format. | 08:38 |
| blackgibson | I prefer abiwork myself, but i don't do any heavy office work | 08:38 |
| IIIEars | IRC, Web Browser,DVD playback, curious i opened quake2 - everything worked fine 1.5 g 390 ram - windows could never manage all that at once. | 08:38 |

| TMM | anyway, I'm finially done backing up my system | 08:38 |
| TMM | sooooo | 08:38 |
| Guerin | Madpilot: it encapsulates what you write in a series of xml files and zips them up. | 08:38 |
| LiberalTugboat | my lappy does it in 7-8 | 08:38 |
| jasoncohen | TMM, how big is your system? | 08:38 |
| Methynutnut | TMM: time to break it | 08:38 |
| Madpilot | Guerin: I know that. but OOo writes to XML | 08:38 |
| TMM | I'll be rebooting and installing ubuntu for a bit | 08:38 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: 47GB... took 3.5 hours over usb2 to backup... | 08:39 |
| jasoncohen | damn | 08:39 |
| jasoncohen | why not use SSH? | 08:39 |
| Madpilot | TMM: hey, no prob, it was worth a shot. I'll just install the new drive tomorrow and see what happens... | 08:39 |
| jasoncohen | i get 10 MB/sec + over SSH | 08:39 |
| LiberalTugboat | im going to go check out what is going on in the mailing lists | 08:39 |
| Guerin | Madpilot: it CAN. It's not a fantastically good XML editor, and can't use useful schemas like, for example, docbook, without manual haxxorisation. | 08:39 |
| jasoncohen | i have my laptop and desktop auto-backup /etc and /home from a cronjob. the laptop backs up to a remote NFS share | 08:39 |
| TMM | jasoncohen: I know... this sucked | 08:39 |

| psychonate | what about the nasty KDE files | 08:55 |
| Kingmilo | nemik , are you logged in as root on the console? | 08:55 |
| nemik | yes i'm root | 08:55 |
| LiberalTugboat | its gives people the choice to install it more then one way | 08:55 |
| psychonate | better off using fluxbox/xfce/etc if you're worried about size | 08:55 |
| psychonate | LiberalTugboat, oh, I see. Where is the XFCE4 version? | 08:55 |
| nemik | well. at least instead of going to terminal, i went to root terminal and typed in the password | 08:55 |
| gh5046 | I wish I could choose an smp kernel when doing the ubuntu install | 08:55 |
| Kingmilo | nemik , ok then that will work. Another edit is vim # vi smsd.conf | 08:55 |

| Kingmilo | nemik , ahh i see, yes gentoo does take a while to get used too, but its very good once its up. Redhat im not crazy about and ive never tried knoppix :) | 08:59 |
| NicP | but what i ment was wouldnt it be easier to try an emulate osx rather than windows to get apps like office etc | 08:59 |
| NicP | now i think about it the cpu architecture probably is a significant stumbling point | 08:59 |
| psychonate | My three favorite would be Gentoo, Ubuntu, and Mandrake | 08:59 |

| bigfoot | hi,i'm a newbie. i'd like to know how to play bin/cue files on my computer. Do i need to mount it? | 11:36 |
| Seveas | bigfoot, you can convert it to an .iso file with bchunk and mount that isofile | 11:36 |
| bigfoot | Seveas, can i just mount it as is, or do i need to convert to iso first? | 11:37 |
| Seveas | and maybe nautilus (the explorer-program) can browse through bin/cue files too, bu ti'm not sure about that | 11:37 |
| Seveas | bigfoot, only .iso files can be mounted | 11:37 |
| cafuego | bigfoot: You can use bchunk to convert it to .iso | 11:38 |
| bigfoot | Seveas, okay. i think i may have asked the wrong first question. It's not important whether I can mount or not. I just want to know how to access the bin/cue files on my computer. | 11:38 |
| cafuego | bigfoot: Burn them with 'cdrdao' or convert to iso, then mount. | 11:38 |
| Seveas | bigfoot, try accessing it with nautilus or the archive manager | 11:38 |

| kori[idiot] | i recall i had some problem like that in a while | 11:53 |

| bigfoot | kori[idiot] , so i guess vlc should be the first choice when i want to play media files... | 11:53 |
| bigfoot | is a reboot necessary? | 11:53 |
| kori[idiot] | never found out what the cause was but after i removed a hdd i tried playing and voila it was fixed | 11:53 |

| raDeon | what d oes your mother say every night | 12:59 |

| chris__ | when i try to connect to a mysql_database it returns nothing to | 12:59 |
| chris__ | my browser and using it in a shell it returns Call to | 12:59 |
| raDeon | chill out chris__ | 12:59 |
| raDeon | jesus | 12:59 |
| chris__ | sorry, typed all that in a php forum, psting didnt work | 12:59 |
| tremere | raDeon, you really should calm it | 12:59 |
| thenuke | Take a prozac ;D | 01:00 |
| chris__ | I'll try that again... I upgraded my distro of Ubuntu last night from v4 to v5 (warty-> hoary) and php4 seems to be running fine with apache2, butwhen i try to connect to a mysql_database it returns nothing to my browser and using it in a shell it returns Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() | 01:00 |
| Seveas | chris__, install the php4-mysql module... | 01:01 |
| chris__ | it is installed | 01:01 |
| Seveas | make sure it is loaded then... | 01:01 |
| chris__ | and mysql.so is added to the php.ini | 01:01 |

| chris__ | and i've even tried setting the extension_dir to where it is | 01:01 |
| Seveas | with the correct path? | 01:01 |
| Seveas | any other errors from apache logs (iirc php will spit out errors there about modules it cannot load) | 01:02 |
| chris__ | though on warty i didnt have to set the extesion_dir | 01:02 |
| tremere | Seveas, could one of his packages gotten broken in the upgrade? | 01:02 |
| Seveas | tremere, possibly, but unlikely | 01:02 |
| selinium | I am trying to connect to www.phpfreaks.com any browser (including LYNX!) and cannot connect. There doesn't appear to be a problem with a windows machine. Any ideas? | 01:02 |
| Seveas | i think that a config file has been changed | 01:02 |
| chris__ | nothing in the apache logs as far as i can see | 01:02 |
| schasi | selinium: can you ping it? | 01:02 |
| schasi | May be a dns problem | 01:02 |
| === Hoxzer [Hoxzer@dsl-hkigw2p34.dial.inet.fi] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| schasi | How do you know it works from other linux machines if you got only one cable modem? | 01:05 |
| Seveas | chris__, i think some configuration things have changed so you either need to manually figure them out or remove both php and mysql with the --purge option to remove config files and reinstall them after that to get the new config | 01:05 |
| selinium | schasi: I am running firestarter but i cant find any reason why it would block the freaks site. | 01:06 |
| Seveas | selinium, what does dig www.phpfreaks.net say? | 01:06 |
| paringas | hi, guys, when im putting my notebook into suspend everything works fine, but klaptop doesnt turn the backlight off for some reason??? and ideas on how to fix it? thanks a lot | 01:06 |

| chris__ | ok, i purged php4-mysql, and re-installed it | 01:06 |
| schasi | to a mtr (my trace route) to it | 01:06 |
| chris__ | restarted apache, and nothing | 01:07 |

| schasi | And try http://64.40.102.44 | 01:07 |
| tombs | hi ppl | 01:08 |

| Seveas | dpkg -l | 01:08 |
| selinium | Seveas: results at #flood | 01:08 |
| Seveas | that gives'm all | 01:08 |
| Seveas | selinium, i'm not in #flood, use a pastebin please | 01:08 |

| schasi | selinium: Do you get to that site or not | 01:09 |
| selinium | schasi: nope not yet, and it is www.phpfreaks.com not .net | 01:09 |
| tombs | simple question, is ubuntu 100%(lets say)debian, but much more updated? | 01:10 |
| Seveas | tombs, it's less and more | 01:10 |

But when I make it FullScreen, then I get the pink/blue flashing streaks. I guess this means that the computer is working harder to process a bigger screen. IS this correct? If so, can I close down all unnecssary programs, to give more "processing space" to the movie being played? Or, how can i have no pink/ | 01:33 |

| bigfoot | thoreauputic, synd so why the choppiness? I have no idea what's causing it? Here's what I can tell you though: I play a movie. No problem. I pause it or stop it. I run Firefox for a while. I turn off firefox. I resume playback of moviefile. It gets choppy. Another fact: SystemMonitor applet shows low processor usage (i.e. 25 %). So you probably can see why I don't know what's cauising this problem. | 03:20 |

| nova | wondering if theres a way to edit a given file and configure the users that way | 03:21 |
| nova | yeh i know janc | 03:21 |
| thoreauputic | bigfoot: sounds more like a problem with the program itself - which viewer do you use? | 03:21 |
| nova | thats what im asking | 03:21 |
| bigfoot | synd, how did you sole your problem? | 03:21 |

| bigfoot | thoreauputic, i've tried xine, gstreamer, totem, etc. when one player is choppy. the others are too. That's why I'm guessing it's not a player-specific problem. But please correct me if I'm wrong in thinking so. | 03:22 |

| thoreauputic | bigfoot: it's possible you have a rogue process still running somewhere - eg if you do "killall xine" or similar then try again it might clear up | 03:31 |

| redboar | the version bundled with Ubuntu is flaky, I installed 1.0.9 form the alsa website but I had a different problem | 04:32 |
| mof | fabs, you have to mount hdd rw | 04:32 |
| marsh | redboar, the last line seems like a conformation line for after it installed the alsa ok... | 04:32 |

| fabs | oDysseas, hda2 I have to mount in this case | 04:33 |
| ronniebeck | so can any one recommend a good apt repository for Ubuntu | 04:33 |
| redboar | marsh: since u don't know what it is it's worth pursuing | 04:34 |
| oDysseas | fabs: filesystem? | 04:34 |
| fabs | ronniebeck, never used it :P | 04:34 |
| fabs | oDysseas, ext2 | 04:34 |
| marsh | could this be because i'm using a 'not good enough for dvd' graphics card? | 04:34 |
| ronniebeck | fabs: no problem. marsh has supplied a good example above | 04:34 |
| fabs | marsh, thanks for that | 04:34 |
| oDysseas | yes fabs | 04:34 |
| redboar | can u play other types of video files? | 04:34 |
| redboar | marsh | 04:34 |
| marsh | fabs - so substitute the hdd for hda2 | 04:34 |
| oDysseas | is there a way to change the default movie player from totem to mplayer in nautilus? I mean when I double click a video file to open in mplayer | 04:35 |
| fabs | marsh, thanks the place i need is /home/fabio and the desktop too | 04:35 |
| marsh | and fabs - the place-to-put-it drive has to exist already - and i think it has to be empty - but dont quote me on that - best place is /mnt/datadrive (or something similar/)... | 04:36 |
| thoreauputic | oDysseas: right click a movie file, choose properties, open with, add | 04:36 |
| oDysseas | thoreauputic: I did that allready but when I double click it still opens in totem, I have to right click and select mplayer | 04:36 |
| marsh | i cam play mpg & somw avi in totem... | 04:36 |
| thoreauputic | oDysseas: then check your preference (make sure it is the right selection) | 04:37 |
| redboar | marsh: I don't see why dvd wouldn't work | 04:37 |
| tchmnky | thoreauputic, speaking of preferred applications, the gnome preffered applications dialog kinda sucks for anything that isn't web, or email. I have Opera setup to open files and unknown links with gnome-open -- where do I tell Gnome how to handle certain protocols et al? | 04:37 |
| ronniebeck | marsh, I cant play any movies. Where did you get the gstreamer plugins from if you dont feel like compiling them? | 04:37 |
| thoreauputic | oDysseas: you set it in properties, not the top entry in the context menu | 04:37 |

| dooglus | Linux_Galore: I built my own kernel in Mandriva, both 2.6.11.12 and 2.6.12-rc3. they both cope OK with the heavy CPU load | 05:05 |

| dooglus | sorry. 2.6.11.10 and 2.6.12-rc3 | 05:05 |
| jasoncohen | dooglus, what temp does gkrellm show? | 05:05 |
| thoreauputic | mikl: ls -al I think... | 05:05 |
| Linux_Galore | yahalom: well after its installed you just type in the name of a supported site ie slashdot will open the slashdot page in the terminal | 05:05 |
| mikl | thoreauputic: oh yes, sorry :) | 05:06 |
| yahalom | Linux_Galore, oh no need to run it? | 05:06 |
| dooglus | jasoncohen: is there a command line way of seeing the temp? I'm running outside of X to make the comparison fairer | 05:06 |
| Linux_Galore | yahalom: nope | 05:06 |
| jasoncohen | dooglus, not sure, i've always just used gkrellm with lm_sensors | 05:06 |
| dooglus | Linux_Galore: when I say I built my own kernel, I mean I used generic sources from kernel.org - so I know there's nothing special that Mandriva has done to it... | 05:06 |

| yahalom | ? | 05:07 |
| Linux_Galore | dooglus: did you have the same GUI on both machines....KDE in Mandriva has been seriously worked on for speed | 05:07 |
| jasoncohen | dooglus, usually that's caused by poor ventallation. is the laptop on a soft surface or is anything covering the fans? | 05:07 |

| dooglus | 100% CPU on both, yes. | 05:09 |
| jasoncohen | dooglus, what's the idle cpu temp like? | 05:09 |
| dooglus | same program on both - just a while(1); - an infinite loop that does nothing | 05:09 |
| dooglus | jasoncohen: I don't know how to measure it, but the fan goes off if I'm not doing anything, so fine I guess. | 05:09 |

| Davey | i.e. my wifes machine is called "sue" but I can't resolve it... even though they're networked and literally right next to each other... | 05:10 |
| yahalom | Linux_Galore, ok thanx | 05:10 |
| Linux_Galore | yahalom: surfraw only works with set sites | 05:10 |
| tchmnky | marsh, which errors, and which device are you doing it to? | 05:10 |
| johan_ | where can i cant md5 to double check my iso for ubuntu amd674 | 05:10 |
| firepol | hi, how can i change my GDM screen resolution? by default its 1280 x 1024, and i'd like it to be 1024 x 768. please let me know | 05:10 |
| dooglus | jasoncohen: it seems like in mandriva the kernel notices that the cpu is getting to hot and 'brakes' it a bit, and in ubuntu it doesn't... (maybe?) | 05:10 |
| jasoncohen | dooglus, have you tried with other cpu intensive tasks like compiling? | 05:10 |
| dooglus | jasoncohen: compiling generally is disk bound. | 05:10 |
| thoreauputic | Davey: you have the names in /etc/hosts ? | 05:11 |
| jasoncohen | dooglus, perhaps but it shouldn't have to. my laptop can run 100% for an hour or more without any instability | 05:11 |
| marsh | tchmnky, says /dev/hdc dissagrees with fstab... just checking fstab now | 05:11 |
| Davey | thoreauputic: that kinda defeats the purpose of things, no? I mean, I have to edit that every time I add a machine to the network? | 05:11 |
| tchmnky | johan_, from within linux, you can do md5sum /path/to/<iso file> | 05:11 |
| dooglus | jasoncohen: I first noticed the problem yesterday with the bug in grep - in some cases grep uses 100% of the CPU for long periods. | 05:11 |
| Linux_Galore | dooglus: yeah mandriva has some weird cpufreq daemon | 05:11 |
| dooglus | jasoncohen: mine can too - in mandriva... | 05:11 |
| Linux_Galore | dooglus: also lots of hardware monitoring daemons | 05:11 |
| jasoncohen | Linux_Galore, that deamon caused my X to skip every 30 seconds...not fun | 05:11 |

| jasoncohen | dooglus, well, check your idle temp. you probably have a cooling problem and mandriva is just responding more intelligently...that doesn't mean there isn't a problem | 05:12 |
| Linux_Galore | jasoncohen: didnt bother my desktop machine......just worked....pretty much like ubuntu | 05:12 |

| marsh | tchmnky, fstab says /dev/hdc is mounted on /media/cdrom0 - but thats not mounted( at least that's what it says when i try... | 05:14 |
| jasoncohen | and it's cpu usage that's the issue | 05:14 |
| kev0r | gftp is gay, most crappy ftp client ever | 05:14 |
| jasoncohen | Linux_Galore, or do you think it's running at a lower cpu speed? | 05:14 |
| Linux_Galore | jasoncohen: I have a feeling its slower | 05:14 |
| tchmnky | marsh.. AH. | 05:14 |
| jasoncohen | speedstep should only go into effect when the machine is idle | 05:14 |
| marsh | tch yes - when i 'umount /dev/hdc' - it says it disagrees with fstab | 05:14 |

| jasoncohen | Linux_Galore, it does feel slower...especially startup | 05:15 |
| dooglus | jasoncohen: do you know how to interrogate speedstep and ask what speed it's running at? | 05:15 |
| jasoncohen | dooglus, gkrellm would have told you | 05:15 |
| Linux_Galore | jasoncohen: might look at shutting down all the extra services mandrake loads | 05:15 |

| ronniebeck | NTolerance, you need a patch for that. And it is a little unfun to apply it | 05:35 |
| jasoncohen | ahluka, you have the advantages of a debian system- a huge pacakge base (16,000 packages), the best package mananger (apt) with nice gui tools like synaptic and update-manager, security updates, 6 month releases and the newest kernel, KDE, gnome & xorg | 05:36 |
| ronniebeck | NTolerance, I am pretty sure there are links off the kismet site for patching it | 05:36 |
| NTolerance | well, i did apply the patch for monitor mode, but all the wireless config tools need scanning support | 05:36 |
| NTolerance | none of the wiki/forum tutorials work for scanning support | 05:36 |
| jasoncohen | ahluka, and excellent hardware support | 05:36 |

| icu2 | hi ppl | 07:28 |
| DJJaramaniack | is a 486 a viable processor for Ubuntu?? | 07:28 |
| TheZanke[Ubuntu] | it sucks i wanted to get superkaramba to work but after like an hour of issues i gave up | 07:28 |
| IIIEars | modems are so inexpensive $20 dollars will get you a linux compatible | 07:29 |
| linukso | DJJaramaniack: not for desktop use. | 07:29 |
| fabbione | DJJaramaniack: yes. it's the minimum supported by the kernel | 07:29 |
| icu2 | cant find anything about making mi sounblaster live! to make some noise | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | DJJaramaniack with a very minimal X system - 'perhaps' but dont expect much | 07:29 |
| fabbione | DJJaramaniack: clearly don't expect it to be fast | 07:29 |
| DJJaramaniack | ok | 07:29 |
| thoreauputic | DJJaramaniack: probably not - unless you do a bare-bones server install without X and enjoy fiddling a lot | 07:29 |
| Eliteforce | does somebody know how to set the font in gtk/gnome for eclipse? i use kde | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | icu2, i had to mess with the sound mixers and finianny figured it out. | 07:29 |
| TheZanke[Ubuntu] | whats the ftp server package called | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | icu2, you useing the digital out? | 07:29 |
| IIIEars | DJJ - "Damn Small Linux" might be a better option. | 07:30 |
| thoreauputic | TheZanke[Ubuntu] : which one? there are several | 07:30 |
| DJJaramaniack | hmmmm | 07:30 |
| virtuald | my gnome is broken. | 07:30 |
| icu2 | only analog, had the same problem with fedora | 07:30 |
| dr_willis | DJJaramaniack, or featherlinux. | 07:30 |
| Juhaz | ram is usually bigger issue than CPU, but somehow I don't see 486 system having too much of that either | 07:30 |
| DJJaramaniack | I was thinking a frebsd install | 07:30 |
| TheZanke[Ubuntu] | like just straight ftpd | 07:30 |
| dr_willis | icu2, ive mainly had to isntall some of the alternative mixer programs and twiddled with them till i got it working. | 07:30 |
| DJJaramaniack | I have had as much as 32 meg in a 486 comp | 07:30 |
| IIIEars | 486 33-60mhz | 07:31 |

| DJJaramaniack | I think its a 66dx | 07:31 |
| Eliteforce | i've got a problem with my sound | 07:31 |
| thoreauputic | TheZanke[Ubuntu] : apt-cache search ftpd, apt-cache show <package> to read about it | 07:31 |
| DJJaramaniack | I have a linksys router | 07:31 |
| dr_willis | icu2, my Soundbglaster Auduigy2 works great.. after i messed with the mixers.. I think thats all ive done. | 07:31 |
| Eliteforce | if i play an mp3 file for example the sound hangs every 10 seconds for a very short while | 07:32 |
| DJJaramaniack | seems to work fine for unix and linux platforms | 07:32 |

| poningru | phanter: what email program do you use? | 10:07 |

| iratsu | owen: i'm asking why it asks for a password | 11:43 |
| johan_ | what do you mean danko123456 | 11:43 |
| owen | If it didn't ask for a password, it would just run the commands automatically. | 11:43 |

| danko123456 | johan_: I mean the link was still in the chatroom, unless you had closed the window at some point. | 11:44 |

| owen | Jurku, oops ;-) | 11:44 |
| dooglus | I think the point is that if you go for a dump, your room mate can't come along and run 'sudo' using your account | 11:44 |

| owen | so I don't know if this is just fallout. | 11:52 |
| danko123456 | jon_: got it? | 11:52 |
| nxv_ | hi, can someone help me setting up wpa | 11:53 |
| Xylene|Laptop | is there a way i can get a 2.4 kernel from apt for use in ubuntu? | 11:53 |
| nxv_ | i had it running under gentoo and copied the wpa_supplicant.conf from my old installation | 11:53 |
| p88 | is there? | 11:53 |
| p88 | an ncurses based sftp client? | 11:53 |
| dooglus | owen: are you running './configure' to get the Makefile made right? | 11:53 |
| Jurku | owen: compiled perfectly :) | 11:53 |
| p88 | I have googled but all I get is ftp client and sftp server | 11:53 |
| nxv_ | wpa starts but wpa_cli status doesn't show connection nor even founds bssid | 11:54 |
| === owen mutters about xorg under breath | ||
| dooglus | owen: "confugire" looks around your system and finds out where everything is, what you have and what you don't, and writes Makefiles and config.h files accordingly | 11:54 |
| p88 | seems there isn't | 11:54 |
| Jurku | that doesn't need configure | 11:54 |
| dooglus | owen: but if you're running breezy then we're not supposed to help you anyway. the topic says not to use it - if you can't run it without asking for help then I don't think you're supposed to be running it. | 11:54 |

| owen | dooglus, just typing in the options in the command line. configure on all my other X apps fails for the same reason -- can't find the Xlib.h. I went so far as to make new autoconf'd configure scripts that bypass the X check ;-) | 11:55 |

| dooglus | owen: does that work? | 11:56 |
| owen | dooglus, that's fine. you run hoary? | 11:56 |

| danko123456 | oooh...:-* | 11:57 |
| nalioth | p88 i believe there is, let me dig a minute | 11:58 |
| Xylene|Laptop | is there a way i can get a 2.4 kernel from apt for use in ubuntu? | 11:58 |
| nalioth | p88 was rather experimental | 11:58 |
| owen | dooglus, No dice. I'm not really that worried about it -- the X paths have been in a state of flux for a while, so no biggy. | 11:58 |
| dooglus | owen: I see above someone was suggesting you should put an include path after -L - you don't want to listen to that kind of advice... -L is for libraries, not header files. | 11:58 |
| owen | Xylene|Laptop, I don't think so. You probably have to build it from source? | 11:58 |
| dooglus | owen: what does it tell you, when you run the command I pasted? | 11:59 |
| Xylene|Laptop | damn, i don't know how to go about doing that in ubuntu, i am a gentoo user, heh | 11:59 |
| Xylene|Laptop | so i have no idea how to set what modules to load and ect.. | 11:59 |
| owen | dooglus, same wonderful message -- X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory! | 11:59 |
| Jurku | dooglus: who adviced that? | 11:59 |
| owen | Xylene|Laptop, no biggie... 1 second I will give you a link. | 11:59 |
| Xylene|Laptop | ok, thanks' | 11:59 |

| dooglus | Jurku: I see... he's mixing up -I and -L and includes and libs | 12:00 |
