| `psycho6 | i'm am not able to connect to it when i try to do it from a clean "server" install | 12:02 |

| dooglus | if your main user account has sudo permissions to do whatever it likes, you may as well set the root password to be the same as your user password, since if anyone guesses your user password, they've got root anyway. | 01:00 |
| danko123456 | xterra77: rephrase, I think. | 01:00 |
| bkinman | why oh why is us.archive.ubuntu.com down? | 01:00 |
| icecrash | if i have an arch archive is it possible to directly use baz instead of arch or is there a difference in the handling now? | 01:01 |
| caffinated | TheDracle: i probably wouldn't use ubuntu as a server; it's too desktop oriented. It'd be interesting to see them come out with a server edition though. I like what they have done with this so far. | 01:01 |
| xterra77 | danko123456, sudo apt-get install tilp --- it finds this application in the ubuntu repo; however, it will not download | 01:01 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | i moded my kubuntu to look like a foamy theme | 01:01 |

| xterra77 | nothing just 0% and a timeout | 01:02 |
| bkinman | xterra77: yeah man, server is down.... guess we gots to wait | 01:02 |
| danko123456 | xterra77: www.mts.net/~danb/sources.list > sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list then save close, and sudo aptitude update , after which sudo aptitude install tilp | 01:02 |
| danko123456 | use a diff mirror... | 01:02 |
| danko123456 | I use ar. now, for some reason. | 01:02 |
| TheDracle | caffinated: What's wrong with being too desktop oriented? It has patches and updates available quickly, and often. That's what's most important for a server really. | 01:02 |
| xterra77 | bkinman, ohhh thanks | 01:02 |
| xterra77 | thanks everyone | 01:02 |
| dooglus | xterra77: it's because us.ubuntu.archive.com is down, I'd guess. | 01:02 |

| cafuego | only time it needs to speed up is when Evolution loads | 03:47 |
| kalenedrael | yeah, mine runs at 800MHz idle | 03:48 |
| cafuego | kalenedrael: throttle = less heat = no fan = less noise | 03:48 |
| kalenedrael | or when running nice processes | 03:48 |
| kalenedrael | well, throttle limits the max cpu load, right? | 03:48 |
| cafuego | kalenedrael: No, it just speeds up when it gets to 1 | 03:48 |
| cafuego | kalenedrael: It jumps between throttled and non-throttled depending on workload | 03:48 |

| nemik | so if the $2 = /var/spool/sms/incoming/GSM1fXg7Ku, that is what it is printing out to my PHP script | 05:34 |
| sproingie | Jet2k5: same kernel, different everything else | 05:34 |
| nemik | now how can i make it send the contents of that file, rather than its path? | 05:34 |

| kalenedrael | if it's a plain old URL and you want to get the contents, just use wget | 05:36 |

| kalenedrael | oh | 05:37 |
| kalenedrael | what do you mean by "send the contents of the file", then? | 05:37 |
| kalenedrael | do you just want to copy it over? | 05:37 |
| nemik | the smstools daemon saves the received SMS to that file. now i need the script to open it and then pass it to the php | 05:37 |

| SirMud | ok, i can't get gnome to keep my screen resolution settings | 07:58 |
| bigfoot | Hi everyone. I'm new to Ubuntu/Linux. I'm trying to play media files. I have gstreamer-properties (Multimedia Systems Selector)--> Video-> Default Sink Output now at "XWindows (No Xv)" but I still get the pink lines flashing. When I run the test mode (in Multimedia Systems Selector) on "XWindows (X11/Shim/Xv)" I got those pink lines. But when I test out "XWindows (No Xv)" the test screen is perfect. So how come when I play an actual movie fil | 07:58 |
| bigfoot | e (and it doesn't matter what media player I use: they all get the same results), I get the pink streaks flashing over the movie file? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you. | 07:58 |

| CrestCuttys | i'm from a debian background- why are there seperate distros to run kde? | 08:10 |
| ushooz | CrestCuttys, Ubuntu was started as a Gnome only distro. Another group wanted KDE based off the core work of Ubuntu... so they made Kbuntu | 08:10 |
| bigfoot | SirMud, totem, vlc, xine. When it's good, any media player is good. But when one is bad, they're all bad. In other words, i don' t think the problem is a player-specific problem. | 08:10 |
| CrestCuttys | but on debian- you can run both? | 08:10 |

| mrhicago_ | cool | 09:38 |
| chocoIate | i guess what i really need is mISDN ; this guy here states -->> http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/IsdnHowto that mISDN is the new ISDN driver in ubuntu | 09:38 |
| mrhicago_ | didnt know it came with dvd rippping stuff | 09:38 |
| chocoIate | i just dont see it in ubuntu anywhere | 09:38 |
| Lafitte- | Xyc0, ty for all the help | 09:38 |
| Xyc0 | Lafitte-: NP | 09:38 |
| chocoIate | I do not have mISDN | 09:38 |
| liable | chocoIate: yes, istall the pakages | 09:38 |
| chocoIate | there is no package to install | 09:39 |
| chocoIate | its not there | 09:39 |
| chocoIate | do you see it anywhere liable :o | 09:39 |
| Deanodriver | anyone got any tips on upgrading sound drivers? | 09:39 |
| Deanodriver | i'm trying to get the sound working in quake 3 :P | 09:39 |
| Xyc0 | chocoIate: you need to add expanded repositories | 09:39 |
| liable | chocoIate: click on the link, it'll download it | 09:39 |
| Deanodriver | works fine in everything else but q3a, though | 09:39 |
| chocoIate | Xyc0 : that is useless to me since i'm not connected in the first place. I want to manually download the package if its out there | 09:39 |
| mrhicago_ | sweet | 09:39 |
| chocoIate | what link liable :o | 09:40 |
| mrhicago_ | this kicks | 09:40 |
| Xyc0 | Deanodriver: what kind of card? | 09:40 |
| liable | chocoIate: in the tutorial | 09:40 |
| Deanodriver | onboard, i think it's realtek | 09:40 |
| Xyc0 | chocoIate: um... that does manual download the packages | 09:40 |
| crimsun | realtek only makes ac97 codecs | 09:40 |
| Deanodriver | yeah | 09:40 |
| crimsun | they don't actually manufacture the dsps | 09:40 |
| Deanodriver | well, then all i have to do is get it running in q3a :) | 09:40 |
| Deanodriver | somehow... | 09:40 |
| Xyc0 | ac97 is alsa still right? | 09:41 |
| crimsun | so answer Xyc0's question :) | 09:41 |
| crimsun | Xyc0: alsa does support ac97 mixers, yes | 09:41 |
| Deanodriver | lol, it'd be ac97 then | 09:41 |
| crimsun | ac97 is a spec, not a card | 09:41 |

| psychonate | crimsun, I will probably look at it again tomorrow. Is there a particular course of action you recommend? I guess I will probably just hop on IRC again. | 09:48 |
| HappyFool | chocoIate: i don't understand why that DSL USB entry is there. I take it that didn't work for you ? | 09:48 |
| kevin06 | I know the difference in KDE and GNOME, my question was more along the lines of same Ubuntu core... | 09:49 |
| chocoIate | i didnt really try that since it says DSL ; i dont have dsl | 09:49 |
| crimsun | psychonate: make sure the oss/free module (cs4281) is not being loaded and that your hardware actually requires it. Also ensure that PnP is not enabled in bios. Try also using the version of alsa-source in universe. | 09:49 |
| crimsun | kevin06: the core is always the same. | 09:49 |

| psychonate | Ok. No pnp. No cs4281. Use alsa-source. | 09:50 |
| chocoIate | let me retry the PCI one, dont see why that shouldnt work for an external modem as well | 09:50 |
| crimsun | psychonate: you'll need to install alsa-source from universe and build-essential and linux-headers-$(uname -r) from main | 09:51 |
| chocoIate | if i'm not wrong i rem trying and it failing, but then i tried so many things i lost track lol | 09:51 |
| psychonate | crimsun, the cs4281 was actually my doing. When I saw that there was no /dev/dsp I assumed, probably incorrectly, that I needed to load some modules :( | 09:51 |
| crimsun | psychonate: then follow the latter directions in /usr/share/doc/alsa-source/README.Debian | 09:51 |
| Varanger | crimsun: I've got DRI working... do I need something else? | 09:51 |
| HappyFool | chocoIate: try that DSL entry in the wiki page | 09:51 |

| psychonate | It's just I originally did not notice a /dev/dsp, so I tried to load a sound module. If the OSS modules had been loaded previously, I don't know why /dev/dsp did not exist. I thought that was a standard device file for sound, and I know it is one that ESD needs. | 09:54 |
| psychonate | oh well, I guess I should wait until I have access to the box | 09:55 |

| Chislon | i am running ubuntu from the live CD, my first experience with linux... | 09:59 |
| crimsun | Chislon: great | 09:59 |
| psychonate | crimsun, but, the oss emulation modules were loaded, weren't they? | 09:59 |
| crimsun | psychonate: they're nullified when you load an oss driver | 09:59 |
| psychonate | ah | 09:59 |

| Chislon | crimsun, thanks | 10:00 |

| psychonate | I guess I probably messed it up then. | 10:00 |
| psychonate | but I didn't think it was working before that either | 10:00 |
| psychonate | I don't know. I will check tomorrow. | 10:01 |
| crimsun | there's considerable troubleshooting before we can establish the alsa driver you loaded is in fact the correct one. | 10:01 |
| Chislon | reka, well not switched, ill dual boot of i can... so far its alright, i havnt done much went to one webpage, signed on to GAIM, thats pretty much it, but i want to learn python, as im told its a good starting language, and they said its alot easier and less costly on linux, plus ive been trying to decide about linux and trying to read up on it... only problem is i want to be able to play windows games, so i cnat fully switch... li | 10:01 |
| Chislon | nux seems really complicated though, so i wasnt going to do it, but then i talked to the people in #python and if i need it for programming then i want it, and it will be good cuz then ill learn it and stuff as it sounds good, just not great that it cant run windwos games ; ) | 10:01 |
| psychonate | well, the driver I loaded, cs4281, is correct for the card. | 10:02 |
| Varanger | reka / crimsun: I get choppy videos because I may not have enabled DMA in my SATA HDD | 10:02 |
| psychonate | I'm fairly sure of this. | 10:02 |
| crimsun | well then use it instead of alsa's snd_cs4281 | 10:02 |
| psychonate | er, is cs4281 OSS? | 10:03 |
| crimsun | psychonate: yes. | 10:03 |
| Chislon | i dont know what to do now... | 10:03 |

| HappyFool | Chislon: to be honest, if you goal is to learn python, maybe you should focus on that. python works perfectly well on windows | 10:14 |
| teebones | yep | 10:14 |
| teebones | very nicely | 10:14 |
| Chislon | i3dmaster, kool, though you cant run some games ill want to be able to play of course... though im very much for linux... i like the idea of it and everything, but still need windows for games at the least ;), though its kool that linux can run WoW, but i dont play that | 10:14 |
| HappyFool | Chislon: and most of the more popular editors (emacs/vim/what have you) work on windows too | 10:14 |
| Chislon | HappyFool, but i was told that they are not free in windows | 10:14 |
| HappyFool | Chislon: and the python games framework (pygame) works on both windows / linux | 10:14 |
| HappyFool | Chislon: windows is non-free. python is free | 10:15 |
| i3dmaster | Chislon: I don't play game that much already. for game, I have PS2 | 10:15 |
| teebones | *giggles* | 10:15 |
| Chislon | i was told that most of the programs i would need to do python are nonfree, like the editors and so on | 10:15 |
| HappyFool | hmm | 10:15 |
| HappyFool | emacs is free ;) | 10:16 |
| Chislon | i have no problem with learning and using linux, but one reason i wasnt going to was to focus on python | 10:16 |
| teebones | vim too | 10:16 |
| teebones | ;) | 10:16 |
| HappyFool | i think 'pythonwin', which is a reasonable editor, is free | 10:16 |

| Chislon | well i dotn know what any of it means | 10:16 |
| crimsun | Chislon: python is platform-independent. Sure, it's nice to develop Python apps on a Free OS, but it's not required. | 10:16 |
| Chislon | is there an advantage, or is it easier, or better or something to use linux? | 10:16 |
| Chislon | the point wasnt that the os is free, but that the software i would need to properly program in python isnt free | 10:17 |
| HappyFool | Chislon: if nothing else, by developing on both systems, you will gain a greater understanding of each | 10:17 |
| Chislon | i already have windows, but i dont ahve the money to pay for software | 10:17 |
| teebones | Chislon, well.. there are more tools (ide's and such ) for linux. | 10:17 |
| Chislon | so then it is easier in some senses on linux? | 10:17 |
| i3dmaster | Chislon: in all senses... | 10:18 |
| Chislon | im not really sure how useful knowing how to use linux will be for me, though it could end a big deal if i really get into it... | 10:18 |

| HappyFool | Chislon: it might take a little while to get used to the ubuntu desktop, and to setup your hardware, but it's supposed to be easy ;) | 10:20 |
| Chislon | i3dmaster, i dunno, but the main reason for keeping windows for me, as far as i can tell, is games, i already use thunderbird/firefox/openoffice/gimp/blender on windows.... oh the other reason was for studio mx as i am probably going to get that, unless there is a good animation and game thingy kinda like flash for linux? | 10:20 |
| Chislon | HappyFool, what exactly are you saying is supposed to be easy? | 10:20 |
| HappyFool | ubuntu linux is supposed to be easy | 10:21 |
| Chislon | teebones, i didn tmean like the acutal learning of python would be easier, but do i need to learn linux first in order to be able to effectivly learn python in the sense of running the software and stuff to do it in | 10:21 |
| teebones | Chislon, i play windows games with cedega (cvs) and wine with DX9 support added | 10:21 |

| i3dmaster | teebones: ah ok. I did not know that | 10:24 |

| Jormundgand | MonkeyMagic: 9,999 times out of 10,000 Ubuntu works perfectly. The remaining one can generally replace their hardware with Linux-supported tech and petition the vendor. | 11:38 |
| HappyFool | megabit: um. i'm not an expert, but it looks to me like you have warty and hoary repositories there | 11:38 |
| MonkeyMagic | I also get a solid lockup on shutdown. Will this go once I get the network running an update? | 11:39 |
| HappyFool | megabit: are you running warty or hoary at the moment ? | 11:39 |
| Hajuu | and tonight I do an apt-get upgrade heh | 11:39 |
| Hajuu | to get 120mb of updates | 11:39 |
| kimo | Hajuu: I am downloading my updates in the office :) | 11:39 |
| MonkeyMagic | I was kinda stuck, as I could not install the src version of ndiswrapper either, as no kernel sources were installed, and I could not find them in the package manager either. | 11:39 |
| mindmedic | MonkeyMagic, see it as evolution. As a child you point you finger on things you want ("dadda dadda"). Later you learn to speak and form a better way of describing things you want done. | 11:39 |
| MonkeyMagic | but suprised, as this is the massive DVD ISO, and no kernel sources???? | 11:40 |

| kimo | yeah | 11:41 |
| Hajuu | That's the standard CPU architecture | 11:41 |
| topyli | kimo: that's the default installation kernel. you can install another kernel after install | 11:41 |
| mindmedic | not by me, read it somewhere, but i think the comparison is neat.. even my girlfriend prefers the imagemagick tools to some "resize frontend" | 11:41 |
| Hajuu | pretty much all modern cpus use that | 11:41 |

| Hajuu | accidentally dc | 12:33 |
| saber_ | but would dd copy the entire partition or only the parts of the partition that actually had data on it? | 12:33 |
| saber_ | like my disk can hold 60gb, but i'm only using 17gb of it | 12:34 |
| saber_ | dd would need to have information about a particular file system (ext3, vfat, ntfs...) right? | 12:34 |
| shanon | saber_: I am pretty sure dd will copy the whole partition but if you compress it the unused part would compress done to almost nothing | 12:35 |
| saber_ | ah that's a good solution | 12:35 |
| shanon | saber_: no dd does not do a filesystem backup. It does a raw data backup | 12:35 |
| saber_ | well, if you compress data verification becomes difficult | 12:35 |
| shanon | saber_: Why? | 12:36 |
| saber_ | well, i would tend to use checksum's to verify the data | 12:36 |
| shanon | ah ok | 12:36 |
| saber_ | you can't directly compare the local data and the remote data if it becomes compressed | 12:36 |
| Hajuu | you can if you take the checksum of the compressed file | 12:37 |
| Hajuu | ;) | 12:37 |
| saber_ | then you need to compress the data locally and then compare it | 12:37 |
| saber_ | to the remote checksum value | 12:37 |
| Hajuu | ofcourse you need to compress it locally | 12:37 |
| saber_ | i think that's too much work | 12:37 |

| dooglus | ubermonzie: it is a command line program for installing software. the command line equivalent of the synaptic package manager, if you like | 03:40 |
| crouton | apt-get is a package maintenance utility | 03:40 |

| pusling | johan_: file system | 03:46 |
| jason__ | dooglas, it should be here right out of the box | 03:46 |
| crouton | johan_, fs == filesystem. ext2, ext3, etc | 03:46 |

| johan_ | ext3 sorry | 03:46 |
| pusling | johan_: then rights to the file system is in the filesystem | 03:47 |

| dooglus | want to | 03:47 |

| crouton | chaitatp: aye? | 07:22 |
| [Thorrn4] | delire, everytime I try to open a new movie in Kaffeine...it crashes | 07:23 |
| chaitatp | crouton, the problem is when i change resolv.conf the system just change it to the original content | 07:23 |
| Amaranth | [Thorrn4] : You need to start mplayer with the -zoom option | 07:23 |
| delire | BlackShuck: if you want non-free stuff like java, proprietary video card drivers, codecs and ndiswrapper etc go with something like Mepis. | 07:23 |
| chaitatp | so now i chmod -w resolv.conf, crouton | 07:23 |
| crouton | chaitatp: Are you editing it with sudo? | 07:23 |

| reka | synd: so other people can see it | 07:42 |
| dooglus | BlackShuc1: so I can set the default runlevel to 2, and 'telinit 3' if I want gdm | 07:42 |

| bigfoot | hello all. As a one-month old convert to Linux/Ubuntu, I'd like your advice on the tips I'm reading about on a webpage concerning customizing Linux for the desktop user (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8308). To speed up the CPU, the article suggests reducing the tendency of the kernel to use the swap file. My current setting of swappiness (sudo cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness) is at 60. The writer lowered his number to 10 ($ sudo sysctl -w v | 08:02 |
| bigfoot | m.swappiness=10). Would this help me? Or does this depend on my CPU power and RAM amount? Thank you! | 08:02 |

| bigfoot | thoreauputic, regarding our last conversation about 24 hours ago (subject was on pink flashing lines when I play a movie file). Yes, restarting helped. But it's still an inconsistent solution, meaning that rebooting doesn't seem to always help.layer | 08:05 |
| bigfoot | thoreauputic, what is the trade off? what do i lose in setting my desktop pc from 60 to 10? | 08:06 |
| crouton | nalioth: Sure, but people will want to know about the 'universe' and 'multiverse' repositories | 08:06 |

| bigfoot | thoreauputic, if i only do "$ sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10 " and do _not_ do "vm.swappiness=10 to /etc/sysctl.conf", does this mean that the change is only good for the current session? | 08:12 |

| delire | nova ok, three last things to try: 1) the ATI driver has its own internal AGP management for Intel chipsets. If you don't have an Intel chipset, you may need to change the "UseInternalAGPGART" option to "no" in the device section of the xorg.conf. 2) backup your xorg.conf and try fglrxconfig | 09:01 |
| sproingie | nc is replacing telnet's niche | 09:01 |
| thoreauputic | sproingie: usually hdparm will enable it for you, as above ( sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/cdrom or whatever) | 09:01 |

| avinoam | I have a question | 09:36 |
| chrissturm | mdke: what does sudo apt-get install x-window-system-core say? | 09:37 |
| avinoam | How do i open archive manager with root permission? | 09:37 |
| bigfoot | Hi all. I'm reading the tips for cusomizing my Linux to optimize Desktop Performance (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8308#comment-47098). One of the comments suggested disabling unused and unneeded daemons, saying that "most distros enable much more than you will need or use." So what are these extraneous daemons for the desktop user? And how do i go disabling them? | 09:37 |
| mdke | chrissturm, installed | 09:37 |
| delire | Twitch: 'apt-cache search readline' and then select the latest development pacakge from the list (ends in -dev) and then 'apt-get install packagename' | 09:37 |
| crimsun | trixsey: paste that output onto pastebin | 09:37 |
| Twitch | delire: ahh ok | 09:37 |
| delire | avinoam: sudo | 09:37 |
| avinoam | sudo what? | 09:37 |
| delire | avinoam: sudo synaptic | 09:37 |
| avinoam | i want to use the gnome archive manager | 09:38 |
| delire | avinoam: or fo you mean something else | 09:38 |
| avinoam | like ark | 09:38 |
| chrissturm | mdke: strange, i have no X problems with breezy here on two systems | 09:38 |
| avinoam | not synaptic | 09:38 |
| chrissturm | mdke: ubuntu-desktop also installed? | 09:38 |
| delire | avinoam: ok then 'sudo ark' (sudo == "super user do") | 09:38 |
| avinoam | or in general starting gnome apps with root permissiom | 09:38 |
| avinoam | i know what sudo is | 09:38 |
| delire | avinoam: so use it | 09:38 |
| chrissturm | mdke: and what xorg version do you have installed? | 09:39 |
| mdke | chrissturm, dpkg-reconfigure xfonts-base gives me some errors | 09:39 |
| avinoam | there is the program "archive manager" i wanna usw that | 09:39 |

| jldugger | bigfoot, there are a few, but Ubuntu is mostly a desktop oriented distro anyways. the few you have running are very low overhead. i cant even remember if sshd comes by default | 09:39 |

| glill32 | random question: Is the behaviour I'm experiencing the expected behavior of Ubuntu, or is this abnormal behavior, ie a bug? | 11:05 |
| delire | glill32: often on the back of the monitor you can find the refresh rates listed there. you can also safely try defaults using the reconfiguration method written above. | 11:05 |
| glill32 | wdh: it displays the same thing on both screens, and puts both screens in 640x480. Maybe it's safe mode. | 11:05 |
| glill32 | ok, I think I got it. | 11:05 |
| fraggsta | delire: hmm, is wmii by any chance like ratpoison? | 11:06 |
| signius | disasm: Are you there stil ? | 11:06 |
| wdh | glill32, there is physically one monitor in which two screens appear? | 11:07 |
| delire | glill32: as Linux distributions are made to run on so many different kinds of architectures and hardware (from very old to new) on the odd occassion things need a bit of tweaking to work. it's rarer these days, but still the case. | 11:07 |
| glill32 | No, the same thing appears on both of them. | 11:07 |

| nova | checking | 11:52 |
| ompaul | Shiggity, well even more fun is if you have something like qemu and say dsl.iso on the machine (damn small linux) or maybe kubuntu.iso if you have a lot of ram and then you can run an iso on a running system, follow that with XEN and uml and watch their minds expand | 11:52 |

| thoreauputic | kent: hmm - I'm not a developer, but those dates I gave are about right: usually there are several interim testing releases of CDs as well | 11:54 |
| dennis__ | Hello. | 11:54 |
| Chislon | why is it that freebsd doesnt use gnome or kde by default and that the linux things all seem to like those best? | 11:54 |
| delire | nova: short of that, i would have to look at your machine. the only other issue i have come across is this issue with framebuffer support getting in the way. see xorg.conf for signs of this option. | 11:54 |
| signius | WOO HOO | 11:54 |
| delire | signius: working? | 11:54 |
| Zodiac | accidently closed there | 11:54 |
| Zodiac | he he | 11:54 |
| disasm | signius: what did you do? | 11:54 |
| Zodiac | So guys, you have to create an icons folder in Home right? | 11:54 |
| signius | would you believe the frigging connector on the back of the GOS wasnt 100% connected properly | 11:54 |
| ompaul | Shiggity, in making play grounds that you can run on a single server, so that lots of sand boxes and when they get broken you can bring them up to the same point in the lesson | 11:54 |
| signius | only 95% | 11:54 |
| delire | sigh ;) | 11:54 |
| synd | Zodiac: no. | 11:54 |
| signius | it was fuxxing working all along | 11:55 |
| synd | Zodiac: there is a .icons folder already | 11:55 |
| forced | Chislon: Because the default desktop is based on the distribution. Just because it's BSD or Linux doesn't mean anything. | 11:55 |
| dennis__ | I'm trying to install the Nvidia sound drivers...and the installer is asking for my kernel source tree...how do I install this? | 11:55 |

| spanglesontoast | why cannot you install the driver from ati's site? | 11:55 |
| Zodiac | hmm | 11:55 |
| Zodiac | I dont see one | 11:55 |
| synd | Zodiac: its a hidden folder | 11:55 |

| delire | Nvidia sound drivers?? | 11:55 |
| Shiggity | ompaul, do you have any documents or examples where I may be able to research further into this? | 11:55 |
| synd | Zodiac: the . means its hidden | 11:55 |
| Chislon | forced, well i mean why is it that FreeBSD decided on xfce over the others? | 11:55 |
| nova | brb | 11:55 |
| ompaul | Shiggity, I point you at uncle google | 11:55 |
| Chislon | also do you all recommend freebsd if im just not doing servers but using it more as a desktop/workstation | 11:55 |

| Shiggity | ompaul, Good call ;) | 11:55 |
| forced | Chislon, Ask FreeBSD. :P Maybe they wanted a lighter desktop. Gnome/KDE are kind of considered bloated. | 11:56 |
| JDahl | Chislon, we cant tell you why BSD (or any other distro for that matter) do as they do... but we might be able to help with Ubuntu questions | 11:56 |
| disasm | signius: lok ;-) yeah, I just tested with NMEA and got it working here too with it | 11:56 |
| signius | you was part of me establishing the solution | 11:56 |
| ompaul | Shiggity, used by ISPs for making many servers on single boxes | 11:56 |
| dennis__ | I liked FreeBSD | 11:56 |
| Chislon | forced, this is the FreeBSD channel :) | 11:56 |
| dennis__ | lol | 11:56 |

| forced | Heh. | 11:56 |
| dennis__ | Freebsd is great but its support of new stuff sucks | 11:56 |
| IcemanV9 | Chislon: FreeBSd does NOT stand by any desktop management such as KDE, gnome or XFCE | 11:56 |
| Kartagis | dennis__: it's usually ./configure --with-kernel=/wherever/kernel/source/is | 11:56 |
| synd | Chislon: uh | 11:56 |
| Chislon | oh ok | 11:56 |
| signius | garmin has some features that NMEA doesnt i think loads of software doesnt understand garmin on NMEA | 11:56 |
| dennis__ | Hmmm | 11:56 |
| toxicfume | hi alll | 11:56 |
| synd | os x made freebsd what it is | 11:56 |

| devazion | synd: GNUStep pwns | 11:57 |
| Chislon | IcemanV9, ok, the freesbie, which is the livecd comes with xfce on it is why i asked | 11:57 |
| Kartagis | dennis__: of course, I may be wrong. do a ./configure --help | 11:57 |
| IcemanV9 | Chislon: it is easy to install in FreeBSD or Ubuntu | 11:57 |
| disasm | signius: yeah, same here, so are you using gpsman, or something else? | 11:57 |
| dennis__ | okay... | 11:57 |
| Zodiac | I dont seem to have a .icons folder | 11:57 |
| ompaul | Shiggity, if you were to do something this and lets say do something like run a repository that was closed only to the students - it would give them the exact files they should have - messy but if you planned it right it would be brilliant, beyond a thousand suns | 11:57 |
