| ztonzy | apokryphos, well..3 months after I got my ADSL they gave new customers 24mbit for same as I got my 10mbit...so I think they could be gentle but no, so why not another ISP ? | 12:02 |

| ztonzy | apokryphos, yes...I could get same speed now too...just pay one time fee, same as per month | 12:03 |
| apokryphos | how much do you pay for it, roughly? | 12:03 |
| ztonzy | hmm | 12:03 |
| ztonzy | 42.90 EUR / Month | 12:03 |
| ztonzy | 10/1 mbps | 12:04 |
| dan_ | apokryphos: can I not just get an older version of the package somewhere? | 12:04 |
| nmorse | Check debian.org, dan_ | 12:04 |
| apokryphos | dan_: if it's around, sure. Probably worth looking around for | 12:04 |
| ztonzy | apokryphos, hmm installed...cant find the theme in look and themes :-\ | 12:05 |
| apokryphos | ztonzy: very nice for the price. I'm paying around the same for my 4 meg (but it's by far the cheapest around for the price). | 12:06 |
| apokryphos | ztonzy: it should be under Apearrance and Themes > Styles | 12:06 |
| ztonzy | apokryphos, nice...we have kind of broadband war here (again) among the ISP's | 12:06 |

| dan_ | nmorse: where would I go to find oold packages | 12:08 |
| ztonzy | apokryphos, yes | 12:08 |

| apokryphos | That won't help, as you'll still need the other new packages, I guess... | 12:12 |
| dan_ | I know | 12:13 |
| apokryphos | I found the source of older packages, if you want them.. | 12:13 |
| apokryphos | http://ftp.citkit.ru/pub/sourceforge/w/wl/wlassistant/ | 12:14 |

| nmorse | Yeah, yeah you can | 12:16 |
| apokryphos | all of KDE? | 12:16 |
| nmorse | I ran Gentoo for months | 12:16 |

| nmorse | Riddell: is it just me, or is Kexi the only application in the KOffice source tarball that doesn't compile with dpkg-buildpackage? | 12:17 |
| Riddell | nmorse: that's deliberate | 12:19 |
| nmorse | Why is that deliberate? | 12:19 |
| Riddell | nmorse: you can get the breezy source packages from archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool, you'll need to remove the postgresql configure option in debian/rules | 12:20 |
| Riddell | nmorse: because the kexi that comes with koffice is out of date | 12:20 |
| nmorse | So the Koffice version was just ditched for debian based systems? | 12:20 |
| nmorse | Since it will always be behind? | 12:21 |
| nmorse | archive.ubuntu.org is using the development version of Apache? | 12:25 |
| Riddell | yes | 12:27 |
| nmorse | Which question was that a yes to? | 12:27 |
| Riddell | yes debian and kubuntu are packaging kexi separately from koffice | 12:27 |

| nmorse | I would bet not, as it probably is the one they're making cross platform, and not dependent on KDE | 12:33 |
| nmorse | So why don't we just package 2 and name one kexi-koffice? | 12:34 |

| _mark | Hello all. Just installed kubuntu and LOVE it. ON install it didn't give me choice to install lilo over grub. I want to use lilo. How do I switch ? | 12:49 |
| _mark | or reinstall so to use lilo instead? | 12:49 |
| _mark | i did apt-get install lilo, then liloconfig and /sbin/lilo and rebooted, but grub still comes up | 12:49 |
| _mark | Is anyone here? | 12:52 |
| dan | yeah, but I do not know the answer ;-) | 12:52 |
| dan | but I am also interested in getting graphics bootup going | 12:53 |
| _mark | when i installed mandrake it gave me choice of lilo or grub didn't see that here | 12:53 |
| dan | right, MDK is a lot nicer for the average Joe | 12:53 |
| dan | th ereason I am using Kubuntu on this computer is that it is by far the best distro to run on the Inspiron 6000 | 12:54 |
| dan | (I am actually here on a friend's computer) | 12:54 |
| _mark | i wiped out my mandrake. So far I really like ubuntu, speed is way higher than mandrake | 12:54 |
| dan | I am personally running MDK 10.2 on my VAIO | 12:54 |
| dan | but you really have to hunt for your setup programs | 12:55 |

| nmorse | Yeah, (K)Ubuntu has great hardware support | 12:58 |
| nmorse | And I miss lilo as well | 12:58 |
| nmorse | But I haven't taken the time to try to reinstall lilo myself | 12:58 |
| _mark | Does anyone know how to install lilo voer grub? it didn't seem to work for me | 12:58 |
| nmorse | You may have to lilo /dev/hda | 12:58 |
| nmorse | Reinstalling the MBR with lilo is the way to go | 12:58 |
| nmorse | man lilo has all the info on that | 12:59 |
| _mark | yeah i tried that and it didn't take.. | 12:59 |
| _mark | apt-get install lilo, liloconfig /sbin/lilo still boots grub | 12:59 |
| nmorse | And I wonder if there is a wiki on it on ubuntu.com? | 12:59 |
| _mark | i'm looking, i dont see it. I think regular ubunto gives you choice but not kunbuntu | 12:59 |
| nmorse | Wait, did you try 'lilo /dev/hda mbr' (I think that's the command, been too long) | 01:00 |
| nmorse | Neither give choice | 01:00 |
| nmorse | I installed from Ubuntu | 01:00 |
| _mark | they should let you choose. | 01:00 |
| _mark | I'll try that command | 01:00 |
| nmorse | I wish they would let me choose, though I bet one could get lilo using one of the alternate filesystems at install | 01:01 |
| FoamY_is_away | does anyone know of any internet courses for linux? | 01:01 |
| FoamY_is_away | that might help me to learn ubuntu/kubuntu better? | 01:02 |
| nmorse | Can't think of any for Kubuntu/Ubuntu | 01:02 |
| FoamY_is_away | :( | 01:02 |
| nmorse | There are several places like brainbench.com that offer meaningless certificates in general linux administration | 01:03 |
| nmorse | But that's not what you're looking for | 01:03 |
| FoamY_is_away | i really want to learn the wright way | 01:03 |
| FoamY_is_away | so that i can do more things on my own | 01:03 |
| FoamY_is_away | and help my freinds who appear to be interested in the os | 01:04 |
| nmorse | Hmm, what do you want to learn? | 01:04 |
| nmorse | linux.org has some tutorials for using the command line (called Linux 101) | 01:05 |
| FoamY_is_away | i need to be able to help them with tech support basicly | 01:05 |
| _mark | I'd just get a regular book on linux itself that is the best. For most things it is all the same | 01:05 |
| nmorse | Get a Debian book if possible | 01:05 |
| FoamY_is_away | ok do they have like debian for dummies or somthin? | 01:05 |
| nmorse | Hmm, I don't know about the For Dummies series (they prefer Red Hat/FC) | 01:05 |
| FoamY_is_away | i like this specific distro | 01:05 |
| FoamY_is_away | it's the easyest to use i think | 01:06 |
| FoamY_is_away | i mean what could be easyer than apt-get ^^_^ | 01:06 |
| nmorse | Yeah, Kubuntu is basically Debian Sid, but updated every 6 months instead | 01:06 |
| apokryphos | FoamY_is_away: there's a lot of stuff on the Net for basic introductions to Linux and the like; you'll want to check some tutorials/guides | 01:06 |
| nmorse | So any general Debian book will have the info you need probably | 01:06 |
| nmorse | I learned bash shell scripting from Debian 2.1 GNU/LINUX UNLEASHED | 01:06 |
| FoamY_is_away | ok because one of my freinds on the net has a really weard problem | 01:06 |
| FoamY_is_away | whats bash shell? | 01:07 |
| nmorse | It's the shell you use when you open Konsole | 01:07 |
| FoamY_is_away | oh ok | 01:07 |
| FoamY_is_away | i see | 01:07 |
| FoamY_is_away | no matter how he tryes to do it he can't install ubuntu on his box | 01:07 |
| nmorse | Hmm, there really does need to be a beginner's course in this stuff I suppose | 01:08 |
| nmorse | But where would it be put? | 01:08 |
| FoamY_is_away | and it's driving me nuts we tryed the cd's they sent .iso cds | 01:08 |
| FoamY_is_away | and it won't use them at all | 01:08 |
| FoamY_is_away | www.ubuntu.com/learn? | 01:08 |
| FoamY_is_away | that would be a good place ^_^ | 01:08 |
| nmorse | Ok, step 1: does his computer boot from other CD's? | 01:08 |
| FoamY_is_away | yes and it's configured in the bios | 01:09 |
| FoamY_is_away | to do so too | 01:09 |
| nmorse | Okay, step 1: check | 01:09 |
| FoamY_is_away | i amde him clean his cd rom as well with a lens cleaner | 01:09 |
| nmorse | Step 2 (which should be step 0): does his CD drive work? | 01:09 |
| FoamY_is_away | he can install win 98 and xp pro | 01:10 |
| FoamY_is_away | from cd without boot disk | 01:10 |
| nmorse | OK | 01:10 |
| nmorse | What error does he get on boot then? | 01:10 |
| FoamY_is_away | thats the weardest part nothing | 01:10 |
| FoamY_is_away | it just dosen't boot from the disk at all | 01:10 |
| FoamY_is_away | i've never herd of such a thing | 01:11 |
| nmorse | Ok, when you put the CD in in Windows, what are the contents? | 01:11 |
| FoamY_is_away | it has just the autorun.inf and various config and .cab files | 01:11 |
| nmorse | OK | 01:12 |
| FoamY_is_away | yea it's got me stumped | 01:12 |
| nmorse | So you're sure it was burned properly? | 01:12 |
| FoamY_is_away | he orderd the disks from the shipping shop | 01:13 |
| FoamY_is_away | they had to have burnt 10 disks wrong | 01:13 |
| nmorse | Okay, so that doesn't leave a whole lot of options | 01:13 |
| nmorse | Hmm | 01:13 |
| FoamY_is_away | yea it's weard | 01:13 |
| FoamY_is_away | every single person i handed my 10 out to installed it without hassel | 01:14 |
| FoamY_is_away | this is the first time i ever herd of a set of disks not working | 01:14 |
| FoamY_is_away | not even the live cd | 01:14 |
| nmorse | But his won't even boot the disk? | 01:14 |
| FoamY_is_away | nope | 01:14 |
| nmorse | Not any of the disks of any variety? | 01:15 |
| FoamY_is_away | he tryed redhat too and it woulden't boot it | 01:15 |
| FoamY_is_away | his pops got it for him | 01:15 |
| nmorse | Wait, so his CDROM drive only boots Windows Install CD's? | 01:15 |
| nmorse | That's messed up | 01:15 |

| ChurcH_of_FoamY | true | 01:18 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | thats what i thought | 01:18 |

| nmorse | His CDROM drive may have a broken instruction set or somesuch too | 01:18 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | he would but he dosen't have one | 01:18 |
| nmorse | Then we have a minor problem | 01:18 |

| ChurcH_of_FoamY | he has network boot though | 01:18 |
| nmorse | Bah, make him an install floppy | 01:19 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | it'd be nice if i could figure out how to do it acrost the net | 01:19 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | hmm thats not a bad idea do they work well? | 01:19 |
| nmorse | As well as floppies ever do | 01:19 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | ok will it give him ubuntu? | 01:19 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | or will it be a diffrent type of install? | 01:20 |
| nmorse | Hmm, it should work with either really, but I don't even know where to get said install floppy | 01:20 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | time for google | 01:21 |
| nmorse | I know Debian Sarge has them, but I have no idea on Kubuntu (then again, my Woody rescue CD saved the day on more distros than I can count) | 01:21 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | nice | 01:21 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | i want to crete a rescue disk | 01:21 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | i hear there handy | 01:21 |

| nmorse | But I prefer rescue CD's | 01:22 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | i have a burner in my box and it likes linux alot ^_^ | 01:23 |
| ChurcH_of_FoamY | hmm lots of stuff for making a debian install floppy but nothing for ubuntu | 01:24 |

| ChurcH_of_FoamY | yea i figure customers go in there se the nice cd's and ask how much they are | 01:30 |

| nmorse | Then in the filter box, type vendor | 01:40 |
| nmorse | There should be a string that says general.useragent.vendorSub | 01:40 |
| nmorse | Along that line there is an area that says 1.0.2 | 01:40 |
| nmorse | Change that to 1.0.4 | 01:40 |
| str | nmorse: 1.0.4 done that.. | 01:40 |
| nmorse | Okay | 01:40 |
| nmorse | And customizegoogle still won't install | 01:41 |
| str | but stilll cannot install the customizegoogle ..... all other are installed and work (addblok, greasymonkey, etc..) | 01:41 |
| nmorse | Hmm | 01:41 |
| str | nmorse: what about you? does your firefox try to install it? | 01:43 |
| str | mine keeps waiting -I-don't-know-what- .... | 01:43 |
| nmorse | It worked just fine for me, but I upgraded my Mozilla Firefox from backports | 01:44 |
| nmorse | The bugfixes that came out in 1.0.4 that weren't security related haven't been backported to Ubuntu's default yet | 01:45 |
| str | nmorse: where did you install it from? | 01:45 |
| nmorse | The backports repository | 01:45 |
| === str is now known as StR | ||
| StR | nmorse: no.. i mean the extension | 01:47 |

| moshe | hello | 02:13 |
| moshe | how long does a typical desktop installation of Kubuntu take? | 02:13 |
| snowseal | __P__3, i did install 3.4 gcc or both even. | 02:14 |
| snowseal | moshe, 30 mins? | 02:14 |
| moshe | oh | 02:14 |
| __P__3 | yes maybe but i can't pass the righ gcc | 02:14 |
| moshe | that's not a big deal | 02:14 |
| __P__3 | i have gcc 3.4 on my system | 02:15 |
| __P__3 | but nvidia installer see 4.0 | 02:15 |
| moshe | is it possible to enable the root account? I'm not sure I understand this whole no root account business. | 02:15 |
| MartinHohenberg | moshe: it *is* possible (have done it, for convinience), but do you really want that? | 02:16 |
| moshe | why wouldn't I? | 02:16 |
| moshe | I don't understand the advantage of not having a root account. | 02:16 |
| snowseal | whats speciall abou uuntu's root account? | 02:16 |
| moshe | I'm not criticizing, either. I really do want to understand the logic behind it. | 02:17 |
| moshe | I'm planning on installing this tonight over Slackware. | 02:17 |
| MartinHohenberg | well, ubuntu is targeted at the mom&pop boxes. those guys do better without an extra root account they might tend to use as the standard one - because it is easier to install things (read: screw the system) | 02:17 |
| moshe | riiiiight | 02:17 |

| MartinHohenberg | well, i've fired up gnome, started a root shell, passwd root, and all was ok for me | 02:18 |
| moshe | what prevents someone from getting root access on my system? | 02:18 |
| MartinHohenberg | moshe, that is not the focus of ubuntus non-root policy | 02:18 |
| kalenedrael | i set a root pw | 02:19 |
| moshe | the focus is simplicity? | 02:19 |
| kalenedrael | they have to have one set by default... the login shell is not /sbin/nologin | 02:19 |
| moshe | I don't understand what that means | 02:20 |
| moshe | I'm not completely wet behind the ears, but I'm not an expert, either. | 02:20 |
| MartinHohenberg | moshe, the focus is making users think before using their root power. this is easyer if they have to enter their password any other time than entering it once at login time | 02:23 |
| kalenedrael | yes | 02:24 |
| moshe | I see | 02:24 |
| kalenedrael | i used to use root as my default login... | 02:24 |
| MartinHohenberg | if you knew how many windows-newbies I've seen who used root as the standard account, you'd know what I mean. | 02:24 |
| kalenedrael | then figured that it was bad... | 02:24 |
| moshe | MartinHohenberg, I know exactly what you mean | 02:24 |
| kalenedrael | that was in the first month or so of using linux | 02:24 |
| MartinHohenberg | kalenedrael: I do not hope you learned the hard way like my customers did. | 02:24 |
| kalenedrael | er, first couple weeks | 02:24 |
| kalenedrael | well, there was relatively little that i could lose | 02:25 |
| kalenedrael | it's not like i had gigs and gigs of critical data | 02:25 |
| kalenedrael | i also used IRC as root... yeah, those were the noob times | 02:25 |
| moshe | thanks | 02:26 |
| kalenedrael | that ended up getting me a virus of some sort | 02:26 |

| kalenedrael | reinstalled and vowed never to do that again :P | 02:26 |
| MartinHohenberg | the problem is, that now, as linux starts to embrace the desktop user, it has to deal with the desktop users unwillingness to do things right. Better take away some direct power before they kill their last months work result and blame the machine for their stupidity ;) | 02:27 |
| kalenedrael | that makes sense | 02:27 |
| MartinHohenberg | Windows fails to do this, and we all know and *love* the results, don't we? | 02:27 |
| kalenedrael | i was confused by the lack of root access in kubuntu when i installed it | 02:27 |
| kalenedrael | yeah, we do | 02:28 |
| cartel_ | i just adopt a zero tolerance policy for stupid people | 02:28 |
| MartinHohenberg | however: you *can* get root access in (k)ubuntu ... but I highly recommend you only do this if you know exactly what you are doing. | 02:28 |
| cartel_ | sudo su - | 02:29 |
| kalenedrael | yes, i did | 02:29 |
| cartel_ | sudo passwd | 02:29 |
| kalenedrael | i did "sudo passwd" | 02:29 |
| kalenedrael | to get root access | 02:29 |
| cartel_ | if you're anything more than a bottom feeding cluebie you should be allowed root | 02:29 |
| MartinHohenberg | cartel_: You can do this as long as your paycheck is not dependant on your policy against your newbies. | 02:29 |
| cartel_ | MartinHohenberg: my paycheck comes from fixing newbies mistakes | 02:29 |
| kalenedrael | it's nice to have an accessible root account, but i hardly use it | 02:30 |
| kalenedrael | i do things like compile the kernel as root | 02:30 |
| kalenedrael | or drivers | 02:30 |
| cartel_ | thats what fakeroot is for | 02:30 |
| kalenedrael | meh | 02:30 |
| kalenedrael | you can theoretically do everything with sudo | 02:30 |
| MartinHohenberg | i do not see how you need root to *compile* the kernel | 02:30 |
| kalenedrael | i don't | 02:30 |
| kalenedrael | i prefer to do it that way | 02:30 |

| penguinboy | how r u kalendrael? | 04:41 |
| kalenedrael | not bad | 04:41 |
| penguinboy | good | 04:41 |
| penguinboy | how many years have you used Linux? | 04:41 |
| kalenedrael | a few | 04:46 |
| kalenedrael | i recall the transition... | 04:46 |
| kalenedrael | win98 fuxes itself rapidly and unexpectedly after about a year of functioning properly | 04:47 |
| kalenedrael | to the point where it starts crashing very often (often enough to be utterly unusable) | 04:47 |
| kalenedrael | then the mouse broke | 04:47 |
| kalenedrael | and lots of programs broke, for no good reason | 04:47 |
| kalenedrael | i had just downloaded red hat 8 | 04:48 |
| kalenedrael | and burned it onto CDs | 04:48 |
| kalenedrael | i quickly burned all my documents and stuff onto CD (without the help of a mouse, no less) | 04:48 |
| kalenedrael | then installed linux | 04:49 |
| kalenedrael | linux was so... new at that time | 04:49 |
| penguinboy | yes | 04:50 |
| kalenedrael | to me, at least | 04:50 |
| kalenedrael | (the OS itself was not very new) | 04:50 |
| kalenedrael | i think the fact that windows had been pissing me off and that i did not have windows install disks anywway prevented me from going back | 04:51 |
| kalenedrael | glad i stuck with linux now... | 04:51 |
| penguinboy | are you 100% Linux | 04:51 |
| kalenedrael | i have dual boot on this and my dad's computer has windows | 04:52 |

| kalenedrael | if i ever dig that mandrake box out of the pile of shit it's in right now, i am wiping it and installing kubuntu | 04:57 |

| buz | maybe its calibration related | 05:05 |
| sproingie | some 3d renders lose colors in the background, get kind of washed out on the nvidias | 05:06 |
| sproingie | could just be default gamma settings tho | 05:07 |
| sproingie | only ever had one lockup on the ATI on this box that wasn't heat-related | 05:09 |
| sproingie | so the drivers are getting better | 05:09 |

| Skaag | there's no 'reinstall' operation man... :-) | 06:51 |

| chx | uniq: so, I have a new hard disk in a usb rack (/dev/sda). Later it'll become primary master (/dev/hda). I'd like to setup grub so it boots. I have tried, but it says "GRUB hard disk error" instead of booting | 08:40 |
