| ck2 | caine, you just do what you said ;) | 01:30 |
| syntaxerror64 | caine: just make sure your comptuer is set to boot off the cd drive | 01:31 |
| caine | but i cant get the damn windows cd to boot | 01:31 |
| caine | it is | 01:31 |
| ck2 | caine, install widdows, then put the Ubuntu cd in and boot | 01:31 |
| caine | but it wont do it | 01:31 |
| nickrud | e0f um, I'd delete that from opt (i think it goes there) and just use pppoeconfig. It's always worked for me, and so far I've heard noone complain | 01:31 |
| syntaxerror64 | caine: probably a bad windows cd? | 01:31 |

| jojojjojopilpil | got a question. i need a binary newsreader that supports nzb files? is there any that is in a repsitory i dont know about? | 01:33 |
| syntaxerror64 | caine; right... so just set the cd drive to boot first in your bios and away you should go | 01:33 |
| caine | its set that way | 01:33 |
| syntaxerror64 | doesn't make a bit of difference what os is installed currently | 01:33 |
| caine | but linux wont read the boot | 01:33 |
| Peps | nalioth: I have cdrecord version 4:2.0+a38 | 01:34 |
| syntaxerror64 | linux won't have anything to do with it | 01:34 |
| ck2 | caine, right, but that doesn't mattter - the boxes bios is want reads the boot device | 01:34 |
| syntaxerror64 | you set to boot off cd in your bios that is before it ever starts booting linux | 01:34 |
| caine | and i already checked that | 01:34 |
| syntaxerror64 | can you boot the ubuntu linux cd? | 01:34 |
| ck2 | caine, sometimes boxes have trouble with certian CD's because they don't spin up fast enough | 01:34 |
| nalioth | caine: will your ubuntu cd boot? | 01:34 |
| caine | the main cd drive, which the cd is in currently, is what is set to boot from | 01:34 |
| nalioth | Peps: i dont keep up with ver numbers, but if its default, its old | 01:35 |

| ck2 | fossa, kinda silly cus they all point to the same tracker | 02:00 |
| sewi | do you know a HowTo build own deb packages? | 02:00 |
| bob2 | ck2: the tracker has more bandwidth than jeebus | 02:00 |

| ck2 | bob2, I love BT - just silly the way the ubuntu .torrent's are mirrored | 02:01 |
| sewi | bob2, thanks | 02:01 |
| bob2 | ck2: hm, why? | 02:01 |
| nalioth | sewi: yes use apt-get source -b <pkgname-you-want> | 02:01 |
| caine | ok i just found a 98 cd | 02:01 |
| bob2 | sewi: (assuming you mean "package new things from source") | 02:01 |
| syntaxerror64 | nalioth: i am in irssi now, any tips? | 02:01 |
| caine | brb ima try to boot it | 02:01 |
| nalioth | syntaxerror64: live and learn | 02:01 |
| ck2 | bob2, what is the point of bouncing the .tracker file to a mirror? | 02:01 |
| fossa | what is the .template disk? | 02:02 |
| lsuactiafner | syntaxerror64 : do not run /exec -o yes bleh | 02:02 |
| syntaxerror64 | nalioth: lol, ok... | 02:02 |
| lsuactiafner | in irssi | 02:02 |
| lsuactiafner | heh | 02:02 |
| lsuactiafner | if its anything like bx | 02:02 |
| bob2 | ck2: I assume they just rsync the entirity of archive.ubuntu.com | 02:02 |
| goldfish | lol | 02:02 |
| sewi | bob2, yes, new things from source:) | 02:02 |
| syntaxerror64 | lsuactiafner: i certainly will not, i have no clue how to use this software. | 02:02 |
| bob2 | fossa: that's not a disk, it's a file a tool called "jigdo" can use to build images | 02:02 |
| lsuactiafner | lol | 02:02 |
| ck2 | bob2, i guess if it doesn't take any more administrative steps it doesn't matter | 02:02 |
| lsuactiafner | in the end linux takes a bit of time investment for great benifits | 02:03 |
| oscurodio | amen | 02:03 |
| syntaxerror64 | lsuactiafner: x-chat is easier to use than this | 02:03 |
| nalioth | syntaxerror64: you might find this little beauty of interest. read here about "screen" | 02:03 |
| ck2 | bob2, any idea who is in charge of making the torrents and doeing whatever admin gets done on the tracker? | 02:03 |
| nalioth | http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/07/06/unix_gems.html | 02:03 |
| lsuactiafner | i use BitchX | 02:03 |
| bob2 | ck2: the canonical admin team | 02:04 |
| lsuactiafner | xchat requires me to move my mouse | 02:04 |
| HrdwrBoB | lsuactiafner: I can recomment irssi over bitchx | 02:04 |
| HrdwrBoB | I used to use bitchx | 02:04 |
| lsuactiafner | and i'm too lazy to move my hands | 02:04 |
| HrdwrBoB | irssi is like bitchx only useable | 02:04 |
| lsuactiafner | so i use bx | 02:04 |
| nalioth | HrdwrBoB: can you split-screen irssi? | 02:04 |
| syntaxerror64 | nalioth: thanks reading it now | 02:04 |
| HrdwrBoB | nalioth: I beleive so | 02:05 |
| oscurodio | anybody here do anything with twinview? | 02:05 |
| ck2 | bob2, so where should "tracker down" posts and "idea to use BT for daily breezys" be sent? | 02:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | nalioth: actually, yes, yes you can | 02:05 |
| lsuactiafner | HrdwrBoB : well my bx is scripted.. auto create windows + autojoin in correct windows and auto-identify nick on connect | 02:05 |
| syntaxerror64 | what is the advantage to using this software over something like x-chat? | 02:05 |
| lsuactiafner | and i got a nice logger script | 02:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | lsuactiafner: to do so for irssi is trivial | 02:05 |
| bob2 | ck2: the ubuntu devel list, for the latter, they know about the former very quickly (if only because I bother them about it;) | 02:05 |
| bystander | syntaxerror64: more than you ever wanted to know about irssi: http://irssi.org ;-) | 02:05 |
| lsuactiafner | syntaxerror64 : no need for a mouse.. looks leet ect.. | 02:05 |
| nalioth | HrdwrBoB: guess i'll go to the site and see if i can find the way to splitsville <hint>unless you have a URL for dummies) | 02:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | lsuactiafner: you don't have to take my word for it, spend five minutes and try it out :) | 02:05 |
| nalioth | syntaxerror64: less cpu usage | 02:06 |
| lsuactiafner | am used to BX. i dont want nick lists ect | 02:06 |
| HrdwrBoB | nalioth: the documentation on the site is quite good,I'd look it up same as you are :) | 02:06 |
| bob2 | irssi is the irc client of champions | 02:06 |
| lsuactiafner | yeh less cpu usage.. | 02:06 |
| bob2 | and me | 02:06 |
| syntaxerror64 | i know one thing, every time one of you types me a message your name is in bright yellow and i have to strain like hell to see who it is. | 02:06 |
| nalioth | syntaxerror64: used with screen, you can leave chat running at your house, and relog on somewhere else | 02:06 |
| bob2 | syntaxerror64: you can easily change the colours | 02:06 |
| ck2 | bob2, - thanks. someone told me bugzilla, and mdz replied with "this isn't a good place to post this" and didn't bother to tell me a good place | 02:06 |
| lsuactiafner | lolol | 02:06 |
| HrdwrBoB | syntaxerror64: either change the colours or the background | 02:06 |
| nalioth | syntaxerror64: thats because its showing you when we are talking to YOU | 02:06 |
| bob2 | ck2: ah | 02:06 |
| HrdwrBoB | syntaxerror64: you are better off with a white on black terminal | 02:06 |
| syntaxerror64 | nalioth: yes i got that, now if i could just tell WHO was talking to me... lol | 02:06 |
| HrdwrBoB | which will make yellow readable | 02:07 |
| syntaxerror64 | hrdwrbob: can you tell me how to make that happen? | 02:07 |
| ck2 | <- Carl K - on the devel list - getting anoyed at the firewall crusaders ;) | 02:07 |

| lsuactiafner | PhantomFreak : batch what? | 02:13 |
| nalioth | syntaxerror64: type "nal" and hit <tab> | 02:13 |
| oscurodio | caine: if you are installing win98 you should use fdisk from your bootdisk (the floppy) to repartition your hdd...since it won't let you once you are in the install | 02:13 |

| nalioth | devDelay: either or | 02:15 |
| lsuactiafner | ummm | 02:15 |
| nalioth | devDelay: no usb either? | 02:15 |
| devDelay | which method of net install? | 02:15 |
| devDelay | i have usb | 02:15 |
| caine | im going to install 98...then upgrade to xp (not using an xp cd is why this must be done)...then ima install ubuntu so i can dual boot...but HOW DO I MAKE IT INSTALL AS DUAL BOOT and not overwrite windows | 02:15 |
| ck2 | devDelay, this might help http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SmartBootManagerHowto | 02:15 |
| PhantomFreak | lsuactiafner: Run 1 program after another. | 02:15 |
| nalioth | devDelay: it helps if you have a local machine handy on the network | 02:15 |
| devDelay | i do | 02:16 |
| nalioth | devDelay: but i'm not sure HOW, i just know that open firmware (at least on my ibook2 dual usb) can netboot | 02:16 |
| oscurodio | caine: you must partition your hdd so that win98 doesn't use all the space | 02:16 |
| nalioth | devDelay: external floppy'd be good, too | 02:16 |
| anto9us | PhantomFreak: to run programs sequentially just put them in a bash script on their own line. To repeat or loop them see http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-7.html | 02:16 |
| ck2 | caine, best is to reserve a partition Linux, but if the win Install wipes it out, the Ubuntu Installer will llet you shrink the windows partition | 02:16 |
| caine | havnt the slightest clue how to do that | 02:16 |
| devDelay | yeah its the ibook that came before the dual usb | 02:17 |
| ck2 | caine, then intall windows however it wants to, and shrink it later | 02:17 |

| nickrud | TMM I spent too much time at a bench to find that funny :) | 03:14 |
| TMM | nickrud, it was about 3 years ago, it was a 21" SUPER CLEAR vga monitor... I was laughing all the way to the bank when I got it to work, I got the thing for free :) | 03:15 |
| nickrud | TMM , but if you billed yourself ... ;) | 03:15 |
| TMM | nickrud, even then, what's the listprice for a 21" crt monitor today in the high end? :) | 03:16 |
| Chislon | i am trying to make Gaim thinner, it wont go thinner, is there anyway to get it thinner? if not... why not? | 03:16 |
| hondje | thinner? | 03:16 |
| nickrud | although, if someone gave me one, I think I'd try | 03:16 |
| bignose_ | www.canadamonitors.com is where i got my 21 inch, like 350cad 3 years ago. | 03:16 |
| we2by | ubuntu rox! | 03:16 |
| TMM | bignose_, what kind?? :) | 03:16 |
| bignose_ | TMM: it's a sun/sony trinitron. | 03:17 |
| calc | TMM: i think its very hard to find a decent 21" crt monitor anymore | 03:17 |
| anto9us | we2by: we know :) | 03:17 |
| hondje | those are nice monitors | 03:17 |
| TMM | bignose_, humm... mine's a sgi/sony trinitron | 03:17 |
| calc | TMM: most companies have stopped making anything other than low end crt shit | 03:17 |
| benplaut | we2by: that's why we're all using it | 03:17 |
| Chislon | hondje, like not as wide? | 03:17 |
| bignose_ | also have a view sonic 810p i got for 250cad used. so i'm running dual 21's. it's nice. | 03:17 |
| hondje | Chislon: oh | 03:17 |
| TMM | bignose_, I'm going for quad :) | 03:17 |
| bignose_ | TMM: i'd have to move my head too much. 2 21's is enough excercise. | 03:17 |
| benplaut | CRTs are way better than LCD... i dunno why the populus has switched... | 03:17 |
| bignose_ | agreed. | 03:18 |
| === calc has an IBM P260 from ~ 2000 | ||

| hondje | chaosmind: install 'em, not that hard :) | 03:18 |
| hondje | Chislon: just click on the edge and dragging it not working? | 03:18 |
| chaosmind | the script complains when i try to run in under runlevel 1 | 03:19 |
| ck2 | chaosmind, how recient is lastes? | 03:19 |
| chaosmind | and i can't run it w/X running | 03:19 |
| TMM | bignose_, admitattetly, I still have to find a use for 3 21" monitors on my desk... I suppose I could put the 22" one in the middle with the other two on the side... that would LOOK very good at least, even if I just use the 3rd screen for rhythmbox :) | 03:19 |
| Chislon | hondje, correct | 03:19 |
| calc | benplaut: they should make new CRT monitors using that new super thin tech | 03:19 |
| chaosmind | latest came out... oh, June 1st? | 03:19 |
| calc | benplaut: iirc it allows 36"+ TVs to be around 10" deep | 03:19 |
| benplaut | calc: that kinda defeats the purpose | 03:19 |
| hondje | chaosmind: just log out of gnome, ctrl-alt-f1, and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 03:19 |
| benplaut | true on the second point... | 03:19 |
| Chislon | hondje, i can make it wider or longer and shorter... but it wont go in past what its at... and its got too much extra space | 03:19 |
| ck2 | chaosmind - not sure hew ones will be released unless there is a bug in the old ones | 03:19 |
| hondje | Then it won't complain | 03:19 |
| calc | benplaut: well it could still possibly be better quality than LCD | 03:19 |
| bignose_ | TMM: i tend to use one of them for my webbrowser, and putty in the other [i run XP....] it's great for debugging. | 03:19 |
| chaosmind | hondje, THANKS! | 03:20 |

| TMM | bignose_, ow, yeah, for developing stuff it's great to have multiple monitors | 03:20 |
| HrdwrBoB | these days I would prefer a single 24" dell | 03:20 |
| HrdwrBoB | at 1920x1200 | 03:20 |
| ck2 | chaosmind, but maybe there will in universe - just not main or restricted where I think the current ones are | 03:20 |
| HrdwrBoB | (LCD) | 03:20 |
| bignose_ | anyways, i'm out. might get to try ubunto tonite. | 03:20 |
| calc | 3 way apple 30" lcd would be nice | 03:20 |
| bignose_ | no it wouldn't. | 03:20 |
| hondje | chaosmind: You could also just run the script with --no-runlevel-check | 03:20 |

| liz4rd | has anyone install enlightenment on ubuntu? | 03:21 |
| chaosmind | ck2, thx, i'll check that out! | 03:21 |
| chaosmind | i've run e16 on ubuntu.... quite pretty! | 03:21 |
| calc | bignose_: set up a track for your chair and move down it to the different screens :) | 03:21 |
| bignose_ | calc: it would be fun, but i think there is too much of a good thing. | 03:21 |
| === hondje installs nvidia drivers frequently for some reason | ||
| chaosmind | enlightenment 17, however, was beyond me to install. | 03:21 |
| TMM | HrdwrBoB, this system is my laptop, and my primary workstation, just a 17" LCD here too, but for developing stuff a second display really, really rocks :) having a whole screen for vi and the other for gdb really seems to speed up things :) | 03:21 |
| ck2 | calc - put the monitors on a track and wip them back and forth ;0 | 03:21 |
| calc | 2 21" is definitely barely enough once you have used it | 03:21 |
| liz4rd | does it even work? | 03:21 |
| calc | though much wider would be hard to see without moving | 03:22 |
| HrdwrBoB | TMM: yeah I usually use my laptop with x2x | 03:22 |
| chaosmind | e16 worked quite well... | 03:22 |
| liz4rd | i apt-get install enlightenment but it didnt know on GDM | 03:22 |
| liz4rd | show* | 03:22 |
| hondje | e17 builds pretty easily | 03:22 |
| chaosmind | although there were just enough cosmetic details.... like no drag-n-drop! | 03:22 |
| bignose_ | i find the more space i have, the less effeciently i use it. | 03:22 |
| chaosmind | so i'm back to GNOME! | 03:22 |
| calc | i still have only a single 21" at home, have 2 21" at work but at lower res :\ 1280x1024 60hz crt (gag) | 03:22 |
| TMM | bignose_, that's the whole POINT :) you don't HAVE to be effective :) | 03:22 |
| we2by | Ubuntu only needs some small aplets to amke it a bit more userfriendly | 03:23 |
| hondje | we2by: like what? | 03:23 |
| we2by | It should be so userfriendly that the enduser does not even have to use the terminal | 03:23 |
| TMM | ow yeah, I've fixed a small bug with menu-xdg, where do I go to put the patch? | 03:23 |
| we2by | hondje, like a wizard to configure your box the way the end user like | 03:24 |

| we2by | nalioth, no | 03:25 |
| bignose_ | ah, gotcha. | 03:25 |
| liz4rd | nalioth: is that it just compiled and it was up on GDM? | 03:25 |
| bignose_ | well. partition magic is doing it's think, i gotta go. | 03:25 |
| nalioth | liz4rd: do you mean it doesnt show at the login where you have WM choices? | 03:25 |
| liz4rd | nalioth: yes | 03:25 |
| TMM | calc, yeah, beneath a steel sky and flight of the amazon queen, and, after editing the menu-xdg config file, they show up in their apporpriate menus | 03:25 |
| calc | TMM: hmm ok | 03:26 |
| TMM | calc, so I think they should be there by default | 03:26 |
| calc | TMM: yea menu-xdg generates the menus based on what menu program tells it to | 03:26 |
| we2by | damn, my box is so beautifull | 03:26 |
| calc | so it is strange that it isn't getting created | 03:26 |
| hondje | aren't the sections standardized? | 03:26 |
| calc | hondje: somewhat | 03:26 |
| TMM | calc, but, it has a config file to tell it what debian menus to copy, and which ones not | 03:26 |
| nalioth | liz4rd: easy fix. go to /usr/share/xsessions and open a .desktop file. make a new one from teh template of the old one for your enlightenment | 03:26 |
| hondje | that whole fd.o thing? | 03:26 |
| calc | hondje: but anything is allowed from what i recall | 03:26 |
| hondje | ah | 03:26 |
| liz4rd | nalioth: wanna run me threw it? | 03:27 |
| calc | hondje: menu-xdg just converts debian menu files into xdg/fdo readable entries for gnome/kde/etc | 03:27 |
| TMM | calc, check out /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu | 03:27 |
| nalioth | liz4rd: did that make sense? | 03:27 |
| calc | TMM: hmm, i'll see | 03:27 |
| hondje | calc: ah, that's what does the voodoo :) | 03:27 |
| liz4rd | nah not really i'm sort of a n00b still | 03:27 |

| hondje | bob2: can't just edit the repos and install ubuntu-desktop? | 03:42 |
| calc | TMM: the thing i editted was just so that it wouldn't ignore the file for me | 03:42 |
| bob2 | IFRFLYR: no, it's not causing problems with firefox | 03:43 |
| calc | TMM: so it should work fine without editting on your box assuming you actually have the package installed | 03:43 |
| nickrud | IFRFLYR i have no clue, what updated firefox :) | 03:43 |
| bob2 | hondje: well, yeah, but you have to remember to install it before upgrading | 03:43 |
| IFRFLYR | No, but together causing problems with my gnome? 1.0.2 ubuntu | 03:43 |
| IFRFLYR | (firefox that is) | 03:43 |
| bob2 | no | 03:43 |
| calc | TMM: you can look for the files related to the adventure category under /var/lib/menu-xdg/ | 03:43 |
| bob2 | the ubuntu-desktop doesn't do anything except ensure other things are installed | 03:43 |
| hondje | bob2: that's odd, thanks for letting mek now | 03:43 |

| nickrud | IFRFLYR you can fool firefox, by searching in about:config for vendorsub, and changing it to 1.0.4 | 03:44 |
| IFRFLYR | I see. Could it crash looking to reconcile things? I'm grasping at straws here | 03:44 |

| hondje | ah, makes perfect sense | 03:45 |

| IFRFLYR | bob2, thanks. But removing it, you say, is safe. | 03:47 |
| Tsingi | My X has dropped to 640 by 480 after inadvertently booting with the install disk. Is there a setup prog I can run to put it right? | 03:48 |
| bob2 | IFRFLYR: except insomuch as it will make upgrades painful, yes | 03:48 |
| bob2 | IFRFLYR: I'd be very surprised if it helped, tho | 03:48 |

| gamemastax` | so i'll tell you if it works, nbvk. Feel free to /msg me | 04:50 |
| nbvk | gamemastax`: yea i've got that on this comp too, i just wanted to use linux as main OS instead of the main OS being winxp | 04:50 |
| nickrud | ryan_ you must have an extra line in your sources.list | 04:50 |

| Xire | Anyone here have experience with 2C-I and possibly a way I can "install" it to my person? I'd aprpeciate a private messege :) | 04:50 |
| gamemastax` | nbvk: that's the default partition type for winxp | 04:51 |
| j0rd1 | gamemastax`, sure it can be read/write with kernel 2.6 | 04:51 |
| gamemastax` | Heh, I read a tutorial stating that it couldn't. | 04:51 |
| j0rd1 | that was like 2 years ago gamemastax` | 04:51 |

| === gdarel [~gdarel@c-24-16-111-170.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| j0rd1 | i havent tried it with ubuntu HrdwrBoB, but with a vanilla kernel you can | 04:52 |
| spartas | sorry, meant cd burning support | 04:52 |
| Battlecat | Well Spartas I think that by charing for it the same way that Windows users pay. I would gladly pay for a nice boxed set for linux of those tools | 04:52 |

| gamemastax` | Err... now i'm logged into ubuntu and my mouse isn't moving o.o | 04:53 |
| spartas | Battlecat, the problem with that would be they would have to release it in a binary form (no source code available), and that would be sadistic | 04:53 |
| Battlecat | Well time to get some real work done - all while listening to the great Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy | 04:53 |
| HrdwrBoB | unless you are using captive ntfs | 04:53 |

| gamemastax` | someone help me? I think it's frozen o.o | 04:54 |
| crimsun | dimeo: look for the package that contains that file using packages.ubuntu.com | 04:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | j0rd1: yes you can | 04:54 |
| Battlecat | Spartas I know this goes against the grain of linux users but well the reason it is so damned good is that they have a great team of programmers and a big budget for real research. | 04:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | j0rd1: and it's unsupported | 04:54 |
| j0rd1 | crimsun, you can use apt-file also | 04:54 |
| gamemastax` | The clock is still moving but nothing else will work | 04:54 |
| dimeo | synaptic and firefox won't run without it =( | 04:54 |
| crimsun | j0rd1: sure, after updating | 04:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | j0rd1: strictly you can only write to files of the same size | 04:54 |
| j0rd1 | i did that before with some debian machines HrdwrBoB | 04:54 |
| fishie | why does the gnome bittorrent program suck so badly? | 04:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | j0rd1: other than that it can kill the filesystem | 04:55 |
| crimsun | fishie: because you haven't helped fix it | 04:55 |
| HrdwrBoB | you need to do a check after you write to it | 04:55 |
| HrdwrBoB | and it may die | 04:55 |
| nbvk | fishie: just use azureus | 04:55 |
| fishie | i do | 04:55 |
| fishie | :) | 04:55 |
| j0rd1 | ooh, didn't know that.... i really dont have any ntfs partitions anymore... :D | 04:55 |
| HrdwrBoB | for all intents and purposes, you CANNOT usentfs as a refuglar writable filesystem without captive ntfs | 04:55 |

| gamemastax` | and it worked fine | 04:57 |
| Battlecat | thats it? | 04:57 |
| HrdwrBoB | yep | 04:57 |
| HrdwrBoB | fat32 works fine in linux | 04:57 |
| nickrud | lol, a simple solution to a complex problem | 04:57 |
| FR500 | goldfish, there is this note | 04:57 |
| FR500 | Make sure you have started compiling the kernel sources, so needed header files are present. | 04:57 |
| Battlecat | Ok is FAT any slower or is it faster than NTFS? | 04:57 |
| HrdwrBoB | then you can use an ext2 driver for windows | 04:57 |
| ablyss | depends on how you define "fine" :) | 04:57 |
| FR500 | goldfish, what does it mean= | 04:58 |
| FR500 | ? | 04:58 |
| HrdwrBoB | FR500: you can just get the linux-headers package | 04:58 |
| FR500 | HrdwrBoB, i did | 04:58 |
| gamemastax` | ntfs is very optimal... but fat or fat32 aren't but worse | 04:58 |
| j0rd1 | he already tried that | 04:58 |
| spartas | true, Battlecat, but with all the linux distributions, an adobe suite would have to be precompiled for every type of system out there running on every conceived linux distribution (now I realise that it's possible with the many linux users out there, but it would be very difficult when trying to limit who gets access to the source code) | 04:58 |
| HrdwrBoB | FR500: then you are fine | 04:58 |
| FR500 | but make fails | 04:58 |

| nalioth | gamemastax`: good on ya, fat32 solves lots of problems when coexisting iwth linux | 04:59 |
| Battlecat | Well Spartas imagine if Adobe said " Today God I mean Adobe said they will will produce a version for Mandrake" Imagine how many mandrake user there would be in 24 hours. | 04:59 |
| HrdwrBoB | FR500: ndiswrapper is already included | 05:00 |

| === regeya is now known as thorin | ||
| FR500 | so i did this: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SetupNdiswrapperHowto | 05:00 |
| spartas | Battlecat, exactly why if they release it for linux, they should release the source code (GPL'd); it would be cool, but it probably won't ever happen | 05:01 |
| HrdwrBoB | FR500: ok, run KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) make | 05:01 |
| nalioth | Battlecat: the linux kernel has to have itw own FS to run in (in most cases), so yer stability is pretty much assured | 05:01 |

| eddie | Its just amazing how ubuntu handles hardware | 05:11 |
| eddie | although this computer is 2 years old | 05:11 |
| eddie | id consider it decent hardware | 05:11 |
| nemik | and after a few days none of the programs (file explorer, etc) will even load so i have to reboot | 05:11 |
| nalioth | nemik: user permissions and X usually don't have anything to do with the other | 05:11 |

| Scorp | gentoo is cool | 05:42 |
| Kezman1974 | I did an update and now when I try and start a program that needs root privs, it comes up with the password screen then once entered I get this error: nable to copy the user's Xauthorization file. | 05:42 |

| anolis_ | where can i get it? | 07:00 |
| eyequeue | anolis_: avoid it if you're not a developer :) | 07:00 |
| disasm | tsume: is breezy == testing? | 07:00 |
| IIIEars | MattAndreas - bob2 has it for you. | 07:00 |
| eyequeue | anolis_: see /topic | 07:00 |
| tsume | anolis_: you need to change your apt.list in /etc/apt from hoary to breezy | 07:00 |
| bob2 | MattAndreas: yo ucan find the values for those from the "monitorrange" line in the output of "sudo ddcprobe" | 07:00 |
| hondje | MattAndreas: find the specs for your monitor and add lines like bob2's to xorg.conf...then add your desired resolutions in the file with all the rest of them at the bottom | 07:00 |
| tsume | disasm: sort of | 07:00 |
| DAC1138 | if i use synaptic to uninstall an app with ?complete removal" will that remove all the dependencies it install too? | 07:00 |
| bob2 | (it IS monitor-specific) | 07:00 |
| kalias | nickrud: I think everything is okay. I will now install the program that blackgibson recommended. Thanks for the help :) | 07:00 |
| bob2 | hondje: no need to find the specds unless the monitor is broken | 07:00 |

| bob2 | tsume: like ssh X-forwarding not broken, or X not starting for some people? | 07:01 |
| zachary | i think before you could just choose if from the ubuntu install | 07:01 |
| bob2 | anolis_: please don't use it | 07:01 |
| MattAndreas | ok, I found a Monitor section | 07:01 |
| anolis_ | nvm.. doesnt sound all that easy and "breezy" | 07:01 |
| nickrud | kalias :) | 07:01 |
| MattAndreas | and also a Screen section | 07:01 |
| Razor-X | ok, so I was in the wrong server the whole time | 07:01 |
| Razor-X | scary, that | 07:01 |
| MattAndreas | the Screen one already has all the modes in there | 07:01 |

| eyequeue | anolis_: please disregard what tsume is saying | 07:01 |
| MattAndreas | the Monitor does not | 07:01 |
| matjan | zachary: ok... do i do that even before the installation? | 07:01 |
| tsume | bob2: x forwarding works here.. and as far as X not starting for people.. build the font dirs and it will start then ;) | 07:01 |
| matjan | oops... ok, i missed your answer | 07:02 |

| dr_willis | daba, its failing at the bios post - sounds to me like it could be a bad/loose chip. | 07:05 |

| tsume | the 2.6.12 kernel which ubuntu distribs is much.. bigger | 07:08 |

| MattAndreas | uh oh | 07:09 |
| MattAndreas | that blew up X | 07:09 |
| disasm | koosy: add multiverse to your sources.list if its not in it | 07:09 |

| dr_willis | proberly need to install some extra repositoroies. then just 'sudo apt-get install zsnes' | 07:10 |
| tsume | woo, more breezy updates! | 07:10 |
| FR500 | wulfepup, both | 07:10 |
| alexander__ | nickrud, to configure? | 07:10 |
| tsume | gcc 3.4 and packages | 07:10 |
| crimsun | anolis_: no. | 07:10 |
| crimsun | anolis_: there's a walk-through somewhere; use Google | 07:10 |
| wulfepup | oh.. so much for that idea... | 07:10 |

| FR500 | wulfepup, on both worked out of the box | 07:11 |

| FR500 | 5.04 >>>>>>>> 4.10 | 07:11 |

| Seveas | Scorp, wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto | 07:28 |
| Scorp | ok thank you | 07:29 |
| tsume | wpa is much better than insecure wep | 07:29 |
| Seveas | tsume, much better is quite untrue, it can still be cracked | 07:29 |
| disasm | Seveas: sorry bout that, had never read that before, interesting... | 07:29 |
| Seveas | ccmp (the standard-to-be) will finally fix this | 07:29 |
| eyequeue | Scorp: i recommend getting your card to work without wpa or wep initially, then adding the encryption back in, if you can | 07:30 |
| jdims | has alot to do with wordlists and password strength, wpa is more superior though | 07:30 |
| tsume | Seveas: its only as bad as any password implementation today, by brute force | 07:30 |
| disasm | Seveas: so should i refrain telling people to just sudo bash as well? | 07:30 |
| tsume | Seveas: so therefore, its much better | 07:30 |
| Seveas | tsume, again untrue, wpa supports 802.1x natively | 07:30 |
| tsume | Seveas: any service today may be brute forced | 07:30 |
| Seveas | disasm, sudo -i is the way to get a root login shell :) | 07:31 |
| tsume | Seveas: no, again true. All services can be brute forced. | 07:31 |
| Seveas | tsume, well, not quite | 07:31 |

| eyequeue | xskoulax: you're in it | 07:33 |
| koosy | hey guys, if youre still there, i did it, thanks! | 07:33 |
| Seveas | tsume, there are lot of zero-knoledge proof systems around that can only be attacked online. With good security measures to detect these attacks (and that's not too difficult) and using perfect forward secrecy and strong session keys, you can effectively disable brute-force attacks | 07:33 |

| blotter | i think a reinstall is in order since i did an upgrade, but here is the situation...everytime i view web pages with firefox OR mozilla, my web browser closes...i cant even view the forums | 07:35 |
| tsume | Seveas: encryption is just obfuscation, nothing really advanced about it. | 07:35 |
| disasm | so doues root in ubuntu get completely locked out from login, or is the password just scrambled and can still be brute forced? | 07:35 |
| Seveas | tsume, lol, go get a clue man.... | 07:35 |
| koosy | actually, i found another .deb of a newer version, but not on synaptic...so i don't know how to install it exactly | 07:36 |
| Chislon | nickrud, well its the last one i set up so it should be, number 7 i think | 07:36 |
| eyequeue | disasm: the former | 07:36 |
| Seveas | disasm, there is an x in the password field | 07:36 |
| tsume | Seveas: to me, security is obfuscation. Easy to see plainly through the "security" | 07:36 |
| Seveas | so no login possible | 07:36 |
| disasm | koosy: dpkg -i <name_of_package> | 07:36 |
| cyanact | so that password and username i created on installation, will it basically be treated as root? | 07:36 |
| tsume | SeamusLP: you need to go get a clue, and maybe work as a security admin. | 07:36 |
| Seveas | tsume, again, get a clue. Read a network security primer | 07:36 |
| koosy | ok | 07:36 |
| nickrud | Chislon sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda will show you your partitions, and what's on them. | 07:36 |

| jambon_ | exept with way better performance | 09:47 |
| bob2 | if that's all you want, use uml | 09:47 |

| MrDataNet | Re startup daemons: bob2: is this /etc/rc2.d/ thing documented anywhere? I'm really trying, here. I've been researching this daemon thing since about 10 days ago. Shouldn't there be easy docs on this somewhere? | 10:57 |
| redrum | hmm should i be trying this with my gentoo livecd instead? | 10:57 |
| redrum | that one is amd64 | 10:57 |
| bob2 | yes | 10:57 |
| bob2 | MrDataNet: it's how init systems work on all modern unix systems | 10:58 |
| bob2 | MrDataNet: in ubunut/debian, the theory is that you don't install things if you don't want to run them | 10:58 |
| tauko | does anyone know how to force deleting partitions (i want to leave the hard disk with anything in, to be able to create a fresh ubuntu install)? | 10:59 |
| MyNameIsChris | (Hoary) Howdy, I am having difficulty building my fglrx module. Does anyone have any experience/success? | 10:59 |

| bob2 | corza: ask on the mailing list | 11:00 |
| bob2 | corza: and include your X log, X config file and a list of everything you did | 11:00 |
| tauko | ubuntu install gives me a write error when its deleting the actual partitions | 11:00 |
| Amaranth | MyNameIsChris: fglrx comes with ubuntu, no need to build it yourself | 11:00 |
| redrum | ok i have gentoo LiveCD booted | 11:00 |

| corza | bob2: correct | 11:00 |
| mht | redrum: how about 'chroot /mnt/tmp /bin/bash' | 11:00 |
| MrDataNet | tauko: QtParted is great for working with partitions. | 11:01 |
| redrum | mht: i'm trying with gentoo now, bob2 says i can't do it with knoppix because it's i386 and i'm on amd64 | 11:01 |
| MrDataNet | tauko: I used QtParted to partition. I highly recommend you check out System Rescue CD-ROM at http://www.sysresccd.org/ , which contains QtParted. | 11:02 |
| tauko | MrDataNet: this program tells me that the hard disk is read only, or that the partition is mounted (but it isnt...) | 11:02 |
| tauko | (btw, i'm currently on a live-cd) | 11:02 |
| MyNameIsChris | Amaranth, perhaps I should remove all ambiguity from my statement. Firstly, sorry. Secondly, I have my own kernel and need to install Ati's fglrx drivers | 11:03 |

| Amaranth | MyNameIsChris: The 2.6.11 that's in hoary isn't really 2.6.11, it's a highly buggy development snapshot from sometime after 2.6.10 released. | 11:04 |
| MyNameIsChris | Amaranth, Source .deb from debian.org | 11:04 |
| mht | redrum: got success? | 11:04 |
| Amaranth | MyNameIsChris: Any particular reason you need 2.6.11? | 11:04 |
| redrum | mht: i just typed 'grub-install' and got the error "install_device not specified" | 11:04 |
| Jormundgand | redrum: `grub-install (hdX)` where X is whatever GRUB calls the boot partition. | 11:05 |
| Jormundgand | (Without backticks. Those are there for Perl-style delineation.) | 11:05 |
| mht | redrum: try 'grub-install /dev/sda', sorry, forgot the device ;) | 11:05 |

| Amaranth | no, sda | 11:06 |
| Jormundgand | mht, remember grub uses a different numbering schema. | 11:06 |
| Amaranth | you want it in the master boot record | 11:06 |
| scanwinder | anyone know how2 find out if my tv tuner card has drivers installed? | 11:06 |
| Amaranth | i guess it would be 0,0? | 11:06 |
| redrum | damn | 11:06 |
| Jormundgand | Amaranth: I think that's /dev/hda1. | 11:06 |
| redrum | ok can i just run it again with /dev/sda ?? | 11:06 |
| Amaranth | Jormundgand: Then grub is a bitch. | 11:06 |
| tauko | so.. does ubuntu protect the partition it creates on install, so you cannot delete them witouth some type of authentification? | 11:07 |
| mht | redrum: as Amaranth say, /dev/sda | 11:07 |
| Jormundgand | If memory serves me correctly sda is (hd8). Please don't hold me to that. | 11:07 |
| Amaranth | tauko: That's impossible. | 11:07 |
| redrum | ok | 11:07 |

| redrum | mht: so now i want to reboot with the floppy as my boot? | 11:43 |
| MrDataNet | bob2: I believe you, and it's just on faith. Question: Could package removal of any particular package be impeeded by the program already running? I guess you're saying that Linux/Unix can do the removal with programs running? The reason I ask is that I think I saw a message from Synaptic about trying to close a daemon, but that failed because the "daemon manager" wasn't running. I don't see... | 11:43 |
| MrDataNet | ...that in the error report cited above, however. The closest that report has is "subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1", which I think might relate. | 11:43 |
| IIIEars | johan just kill and restart | 11:43 |

| wdh | MrDataNet, why would you want to keep something running that is already removed? | 11:44 |
| bob2 | MrDataNet: "subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" is a generic error from the low-level package manegement tools (dpkg) that means the removal cleanup script screwed up somehow | 11:44 |
| johan_ | whats the cmd to logoff | 11:44 |
| wdh | MrDataNet, just kill it first :) | 11:44 |

| MrDataNet | bob2: The package wasn't completely removed. It makes me nervous. ;> Should I remove the remaining pieces manually? Do you think it would be worth trying to reinstall, then uninstall? I don't like pieces of broken stuff lying around. | 11:48 |

But, if I reboot, can that mess me up? | 11:51 |

| paringas | i've got a pIII laptop with 128 ram. i m running kubuntu. i open opera, azureus and xterm and that's it, after that everything becomes unbareably slow. sure i can run kde with these apps with snappy performance. i've got like 3 pages of modullees loaded by default, but i think i got rid of a few startup processes. could anybody suggest something, please? or should i consider switching to fluxbox? | 02:44 |

| Guerin | paringas: use a smaller wm. kde can be a dog on low ram. | 02:45 |
| Guerin | your bottleneck isn't cpu; it's ram. I can run kde fine on a p2-233 with 256 ram, but it's fugly on a p3-733 with 128 | 02:45 |
| Avinoam | i love KDE! | 02:45 |

| Guerin | the DE by itself is fine | 02:46 |
| Choubaka | paringas: You have way too low ram | 02:46 |
| Choubaka | Azureus uses 100MB :P | 02:46 |

| Avinoam | choubaka really? | 02:46 |
| Choubaka | yes, IME. | 02:47 |
| Guerin | azureus IS a dog for ram | 02:47 |
| Avinoam | paringas do you need to use azureus? | 02:47 |
| Avinoam | what can azureus do that bittornado can't? | 02:47 |
| Guerin | use bittornado, or better yet, libtorrent/rtorrent - though you'll have to build them yourself. | 02:47 |
| johan_ | has anyone installed drivers for a 3d card (radeon) | 02:48 |
| Guerin | Avinoam: 1) require java shite 2) suck all your ram and cpu dry 3) be really slow 4) crash randomly | 02:48 |
| paringas | thanks for replying guys everything's just to slow for me to check fast:) i guess its java and azureus mostly then | 02:48 |

| E0x | PrimoTurbo read the man xorg.conf | 04:26 |
| E0x | too | 04:26 |
| chol | PrimoTurbo, look around the menus, i believe gnome has some resolution changer in it | 04:26 |
| PrimoTurbo | alright I will my monitor is a syncmaster 753DF btw | 04:26 |
| E0x | chol yes , but if are not set propery in the xorg.conf , that tool dont show him the all frequency | 04:27 |

| ``endy | afaik you want to set the correct horiz and vert rates in the xorg.conf else you could possibly damange your monitor. | 04:28 |

| antiPosix | but he lacks any entries in his /dev for sd | 05:06 |
| housetier | Azmarael pppoeconf should ask you a bunch of questions (username password), it will also attempt to detect which nic the modem is connected to, then it will set up the ppp device. I believe this is all explained in the man page | 05:06 |

| tiglionabbit | chol: do you get any odd messages other than "Hit" when you update? | 05:35 |
| tiglionabbit | oops, I mean osiris | 05:35 |
| eyequeue | tiglionabbit: one, the key at your end is corrupted, and we've already checked that | 05:35 |

| osiris_ | chol, can you help me try and sort this problem out? | 05:36 |
| eyequeue | tiglionabbit: two, the signature on the mirror got corruped in transit, and the fact that no one else is reporting problems seems to contradict that (it does happen btw, but is rather rare, and is usually resolved at the next update a day later) | 05:36 |

| slask3n | thanks tiglionabbit :) | 05:38 |
| osiris_ | chol, No what it is, im using ubuntuguide to install software that it shows how to install , but when i apt-get the software it cant be found even though i have all the repos that they say you should have. | 05:38 |

| eyequeue | swoop: it would depend on the ftpd server i suppose, though i've not used one here | 06:22 |
| milky | e.g. in x windows | 06:22 |
| IcemanV9 | E0x: hmm. admin > login screen setup might be the one as well. good catch. | 06:23 |
| tiglionabbit | milky: well, you could open a root terminal | 06:23 |
| milky | and... | 06:23 |
| tiglionabbit | and use it from there | 06:23 |
| swoop | well i have tried VSftpd and PROftpd, and both are "easy" to setup for anonymous access, but when you need pr user login with different permissions pr directory for multiple directories it just seems very much work somkehow | 06:23 |
| E0x | IcemanV9 if is the same , that cannot help | 06:23 |
| E0x | me | 06:23 |

| milky | got that, doing that | 06:23 |
| E0x | that can't help then | 06:23 |
| Kimppa | Another question regarding ssh. Can I set the server to listen to several ports for ssh? I know /etc/ssh/sshd_config is the file to configure, but if I can define several ports, then what is the separator? | 06:24 |
| milky | but im not really familiar with terminals | 06:24 |
| xxenon | sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 06:24 |
| xxenon | bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: Permission denied | 06:24 |
| xxenon | any clue ? | 06:24 |
| eyequeue | swoop: it should be reasonable for someone to write an app to tweak the config files, based on a gui app, but as you know, the configs differ from one ftpd to another | 06:24 |
| merc | launch a gui file browser via the root terminal. | 06:24 |

| eyequeue | swoop: all i can suggest is a friendly request to the devel list of the ftpd of your choice, if they know there's a demand, they may put one together | 06:25 |

| signius | suse and mandrake for example and also RH/Fedora | 06:32 |
| poptones | BTW I had a breakin on warty via port 9001, is there a known vulnerability in GAIM on warty? | 06:32 |
| tweakism | iceman: Basically, you are correct sir. Linux has a serious place in IT off the desktop, and is also useful in very specific desktop instances, like labs and kiosks. There isn't a Linux-based OS that actually makes Linux usable by and useful to the average non-IT person. Maybe Ubuntu will accomplish this goal. But if not, Linux is still pretty damn valuable. And someday, someone will. | 06:32 |
| iceman | Ubuntu has me inpressed, but Drivers like nvidia's and no ease of install cost me more than one install | 06:32 |
| justin | iceman: what problem did you have installing the nvidia drivers? it takes about 10 seconds to do | 06:33 |
| signius | some drivers under windows can be a complete to install also though | 06:33 |

| caffinated | i can't even get a proper flash plugin right now | 06:33 |
| swoop | however more advanced functions lack documentation i find | 06:33 |
| tiglionabbit | caffinated: install it through firefox | 06:34 |
| swoop | most stuff is only "here is the basics, now go read stuff and google around" | 06:34 |
| caffinated | tiglionabbit: doesn't work. | 06:34 |
| tiglionabbit | worked for me | 06:34 |
| tiglionabbit | how does it not work? | 06:34 |
| iceman | tweakism full agree with you.. 100% ... I hate being a slave to the microshaft os, but having to reinstall after i screw up, that sucks... | 06:34 |
| uc50ic4more | caffinated - there is NO flash plug for amd64 | 06:34 |
| swoop | alot of the documentation is more advanced that the non-tech person would appriciate | 06:34 |
| caffinated | uc50ic4more: exactly | 06:34 |
| tiglionabbit | oh, 64 bit.. heh sorry | 06:34 |
| uc50ic4more | u will have to install a 32 bit browser in addition to the 64 bit | 06:34 |
| floater | Any americans here who knows about cars ? | 06:34 |
| uc50ic4more | also, under x64 there are several win32 codecs that do not exist yet | 06:35 |
| tweakism | iceman: Well, I'm an experienced Linux user, so this doesn't count, but I find that MS is much, much, much, much more likely to force me to reinstall the OS than any Linux distro ever. | 06:35 |
| caffinated | more likely ubuntu will regretfully get uninstalled | 06:35 |
| eyequeue | i've driven one | 06:35 |
| caffinated | at least until there is better support | 06:35 |
| tiglionabbit | floater: pretty odd question to ask a linux channel, eh? | 06:35 |
| Ubuntian | caffinated, what are the other problems that u have with ubuntu amd64 ? | 06:35 |
| caffinated | Ubuntian: ndiswrapper issues. | 06:35 |
| eyequeue | poptones: gaim did have some security upgrades, iirc | 06:35 |
| swoop | i love linux, but its just too hard to find the good documentation you need sometimes.. i mean if you DO find something it likely for another distro and not easily working on your distro | 06:35 |
| caffinated | though, that's getting corrected with better hardware that is supported | 06:35 |
| swoop | OR outdated and you dont know theupdated commands :( | 06:35 |
| floater | hehe yes it is. I just ahve to send a fax to n.america and was wondering if my fax will make sense. I was thinking something like this: http://vk0.dk/vkprivupload/tsnckuov/moulding.txt | 06:36 |
| uc50ic4more | caffinated - i copied my entire HOME directory over to another drive, installed ubuntu i386 and copied the whole mess back.. i deleted the .gnome directory when there were some troubles booting, but other than that, my transition from x64 to i386 was very smooth | 06:36 |
| tiglionabbit | tweakism: tech support is actually trained to tell you that if they don't know what's going on | 06:36 |
| eyequeue | swoop: sounds like you're volunteering to write something newer ;) | 06:36 |
| debugger | is there a way of knowning which configuration files a package will use? I mean, I've just installed openssh-server, did I dpkg -l openssh-server, but the files under /etc/ssh/ do not happear on that listing. :| | 06:36 |
| iceman | tweakism would agree, guess if i built my pc around linux it might be more stable, i build it around a stable Windows install .. so that is a good point | 06:36 |
| swoop | eyequeue, would love to ;) just need to learn how ;) hehe | 06:36 |
| swoop | was actually thinking about doing something on easy ftp for linux if i dont find anything | 06:36 |
| justin | debugger: man sshd, read "FILES" | 06:36 |
| tweakism | tiglionabbit: Of course, "not knowing what's going on", and having no reasonable way to find out, is a classic Windows-using scenario. | 06:36 |

| uc50ic4more | caffinated - true, but in any case, using a x64 version of any distro will disallow teh use of Flash, ndiswrapper, win32 codecs, etc.. the nature of the beast :( | 06:37 |
| caffinated | uc50ic4more: i'll still recomend it to anyone running 32bit though. it's really well done on that platform. | 06:37 |

| tiglionabbit | dooglus: that's what I did | 07:14 |
| bob2 | jahor: apt won't work until you get rid of it | 07:14 |

| jahor | bob2: the only problem with sid's package is that it depends on "ds" suffixed but the same version of glibc | 07:15 |
| tiglionabbit | er, chastaghir | 07:15 |
| bob2 | jahor: yes, indeed, which will a) possibly break kismet and b) will definitely break apt | 07:15 |
| tiglionabbit | I kept spelling that wrong | 07:15 |
| uc50ic4more | dooglus - even if altering the sync worked, it is still a remedy for an issue that should be avoidable in the first place.. i'd switch audio drivers if you can... i use a RME hammerfall proefssional audio card with ALSA & JACK, so sadly, i do not know much about the drivers and their interactions with consumer cards | 07:16 |
| Rumbo_ | one other thing... where do you guys get your packages from? I noticed the synaptic package manager only displayed a small amount of packages available for installation. Is it possible to add a good source with more package-variety? Or are those the only ones supported with ubuntu? | 07:16 |
| dooglus | I just paused it for 55 seconds and it resumed ok | 07:16 |

| bob2 | the lesson here is that you should ask your real questoin | 08:37 |
| yourghetek | need a hint here... its sudo (duh...) dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 08:37 |
| bob2 | which was something like "I'm trying to get twinview working, but it only works for root" | 08:38 |
| misfit_toy | as much as I hate to do this, I'm going to reboot, I think between making all these changes and swapping out wireless nics that this box is confused. | 08:38 |
| bob2 | instead of "who knows about twinview???" | 08:38 |
| misfit_toy | there it goes...man ubuntu is fast. | 08:38 |

| zephyrnovo | the apache that i get on the auto install (apt-get install apache2) doesn't seem (according to the PHP installer) to have everything it needs. | 09:10 |
| X-Ubuntu | so maybe load the installer again and reformat my ext2 partition to include the space of the os x partition and just dump os x alltogether | 09:10 |
| HappyFool | zephyrnovo: i think that might be an apache tool. you might need an apache -dev package | 09:10 |
| gfxstyler | X-Ubuntu: mount /dev/blablabla /mnt/blablabla? i dont know anything about mac os x though | 09:10 |
| justin | X-Ubuntu: you can access the os X partition, dunno how stable hfs+ write support is though | 09:10 |

| amittp | does anyone know software inlieu of edit plus in linux - should be able to edit files over sftp | 09:11 |

| X-Ubuntu | yeah i tried mol on my g4 | 09:12 |
| X-Ubuntu | with yellowdog | 09:12 |
| justin | amittp: vim? | 09:12 |
| X-Ubuntu | but i think cuz i had tiger it didnt work right | 09:12 |

| dooglus | HappyFool: you're right - but I don't see anything running with 'ntp' in its name | 09:13 |
| HappyFool | dooglus: i.e., a one off thing, not a long-lived daemon process | 09:13 |

| dooglus | thoreauputic: aah, i see. | 09:14 |
| HappyFool | dooglus: setup a cron job, or install ntpd | 09:14 |
