| chris24tn | hi, folks. i have an odd (and probably horribly newb) question: is there an easy way to move a panel? I moved my top panel to the right, and now it blew my icons up HUGE, and I can't right-click on the panel to change it's properties, and I can't drag it up to the top. | 01:00 |
| chris24tn | how can I get it back to the top? | 01:01 |
| |grunt| | why can't you right click on it? | 01:01 |
| chris24tn | that's what i'm saying | 01:02 |
| |grunt| | is there no space to right click on it? | 01:02 |
| rasputnik | chris24tn: but why? are the icons too big or something? | 01:02 |
| chris24tn | when i moved it over, my applications menus and such are up at the top, then it immediately goes to HUGE icons (4 of them), and after that the rest of the bar | 01:02 |
| chris24tn | can't right click on anything that is the panel itself, i've thuroughly checked the whole bar | 01:02 |

| nalioth | jasoncohen: well, they are 'official' now, but are not yet in sync with the rest of the software | 03:24 |
| bob2 | n6mod: 11:21:27 bob2 | n6mod: if that doesn't work, paste the output of "apt-cache policy libfamc102" to #flood | 03:24 |
| Aerebus | because i have no choice | 03:25 |
| jasoncohen | tatiana, those automated scripts are dangerous and they suck | 03:25 |
| nalioth | n6mod: the repos are wonky | 03:25 |
| jasoncohen | don't use them | 03:25 |
| nalioth | Aerebus: yes, the livecd | 03:25 |
| tatiana | well it got good feedback on it. | 03:25 |
| Aerebus | i cannot use a cdrom at this time | 03:25 |
| n6mod | nalioth: yeah, I got that. | 03:25 |
| bob2 | Aerebus: why do you need to "format the hd"? | 03:25 |
| jasoncohen | tatiana, they add dangerous unsupported repositories for no reason | 03:25 |

| Aerebus | i need to reinstalle dubuntu | 03:26 |
| tatiana | but ty for the advice. i removed marillat anyway just now | 03:26 |
| nalioth | tatiana: in that case, i have some things for you to do...... lol | 03:26 |
| bob2 | Aerebus: why would you format the hard disk then? | 03:26 |
| n6mod | bob2: done Is that 500 an http result code? | 03:26 |
| jasoncohen | nalioth, i still think hoary-extras is absolutely great to have. it makes installing java, getting DVD support and xvid/divx, wma, quicktime support a piece of cake | 03:26 |
| bob2 | n6mod: no | 03:26 |
| Aerebus | i also cannot use a cdrom, i think grub my have messed up my boot order or something because not i cannot boot off of the cdrom like i did last night to install ubuntu | 03:26 |
| bob2 | Aerebus: no, grub cannot possibly do that | 03:26 |
| nickrud | tatiana the thing that's really wrong with ubuntu guide is it doesn't give you a clue about what you're doing. There is some good stuff there. | 03:26 |
| nalioth | jasoncohen: i don't think i've ever seen a hoary-extra URL | 03:26 |
| Aerebus | hmm | 03:26 |
| bob2 | Aerebus: your boot order is determined by the bios | 03:26 |
| Aerebus | odd | 03:27 |
| bob2 | n6mod: it's the internal pinning level apt gave that version of the package | 03:27 |
| nalioth | Aerebus: cdrom booting is controlled by your bios, not grub | 03:27 |
| Aerebus | ok | 03:27 |
| n6mod | bob2: ah, OK. | 03:27 |
| Aerebus | i'll try somethign | 03:27 |
| bob2 | n6mod: now paste the output of "sudo apt-get install libfam0c102=2.7.0-5ubuntu2" | 03:27 |
| nalioth | aerebus is in houston, i could drive over and help him (Not) | 03:27 |
| jasoncohen | nalioth, it's just the packages that backports produces that aren't in breezy - see http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/ | 03:27 |

| ed1t | jasoncohen, hoary-extras? | 03:27 |
| tatiana | ya well i agree with that. i'm a linux user for almost 3 or 4 years so i have a fair idea of what its doing in the guide, but i avoid danerous stuff if ican. shrugs are the repositories synaptic lists like multivers (officially supported) ok then? | 03:27 |

| jasoncohen | nalioth, well, if he's just adding hoary-extras it's not a problem. you only have to disable backports if you want just a few apps | 03:31 |
| jasoncohen | though i'm not sure how great an idea that is either | 03:31 |

| jasoncohen | ed1t, however hoary-extras provides packages that couldn't be included in ubuntu like multimedia codecs that have legal issues - for example libdvdcss2 which is illegal in the US but needed to watch most commercial DVDs | 03:33 |

| lucasr | livecd help... | 04:00 |
| Xzallion | Does anyone know how to fix X server or whatever its called? I just installed, and can't open a gui and can only do command line. I need to download the Nvidia drivers or something to fix it cause thats what I did last time, but I can't remember how | 04:00 |
| lucasr | i translated the boot messages of ubuntu livecd | 04:00 |
| nomasteryoda | dapimp53_, pretty sure thats off by default | 04:00 |
| bddebian | Xzallion: Do you know which drivers? | 04:00 |
| nomasteryoda | so you need to check i think | 04:00 |
| nickrud | youth hm, do you have a nautilus window open to the dvd? | 04:00 |
| bddebian | lucasr: Shoot | 04:00 |
| adwait | bddebian: it says here to make a symbolic link from linnux-2.6.whtever to linux.......wht if i just rename? | 04:00 |
| lucasr | but non-ascii chars becomes trash | 04:00 |
| youth | i dont think so | 04:00 |
| dapimp53_ | so what do I do in the bios? | 04:01 |

| === Am|NickTaken [amaranth@ACA75B08.ipt.aol.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| bddebian | adwait: That works but a symbolic link is better if you want to keep a couple of kernel trees around | 04:01 |
| Xzallion | im not sure, but if you tell me how to find out, I shall do that. Im currently in Win XP (yes its a dual boot) | 04:01 |
| nalioth | Xzallion: open a terminal and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" choose teh VESA driver | 04:01 |
| Xzallion | ok nalioth I shall try that | 04:01 |
| nickrud | youth make sure you have no file manager windows open anywhere, then try unmounting the dvd one more time. | 04:01 |

| budluva | youth, what mirror did you use? | 04:28 |
| Xzallion | ok I tried the vesa driver thing, and I think I messed that up. It loads up, I hear the boot sound and get a black screen. I can't even get the command prompt. Oh and i have a Gforce Nvidia fx 5200 if that helps... | 04:28 |
| adwait | omegadc: in ~/.giFT/giFT.conf is the value of setup non zero | 04:28 |

| budluva | youth, after apt-get update you should try apt-get upgrade to actually get your packages | 04:31 |
| Discipulus | don't even do that, it stays at the command prompt | 04:31 |

| ubuntu_ | :) | 05:25 |
| adwait | anyway.......ubuntu_: paste ur /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin.ubuntulinux.nl and paste the URL here | 05:26 |

| misfit_toy | bob2, but with GUI... | 05:27 |
| jasoncohen | heinrich, yes | 05:27 |
| adwait | heinrich: yes | 05:27 |
| reka | root________: hopefully not. :) defrag first to get the maximum space | 05:27 |
| jasoncohen | heinrich, if you use a regular desktop install- no if you do a server install | 05:27 |
| dapimp53_ | I have comcast cable and they connect to the net via DHCP.... Normally I can connect to my netgear router using the DHCP as well | 05:27 |
| heinrich | alright | 05:27 |
| jasoncohen | heinrich, you can see exactly what ubuntu installs by checking the dependencies on ubuntu-base and ubuntu-desktop | 05:27 |
| reka | root________: then select "manually edit partition table", highlight the windows partition, select the size field and press enter, then enter a new size. | 05:27 |
| nickrud | ubuntu_ if you're a beginner, then, why do you want csh? (not that it's wrong, just, suggesting you keep the clutter down for now) | 05:27 |
| reka | in the installer | 05:27 |
| jasoncohen | heinrich, see http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/misc/kubuntu-desktop and http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/base/ubuntu-base | 05:28 |
| jasoncohen | heinrich, a server install just uses ubuntu-base. a desktop uses both | 05:28 |

| jasmuz | jewel_: thing is im not smart enough to find out wat | 06:51 |
| steven_ | hey im trying to download xfce and i cant find most of the packages on synaptic | 06:51 |
| Harold_installin | tiglionabbit: What is that? | 06:51 |
| mihai_ | help. I get an mp5 error on libcairo when I try to update firefox with synaptic | 06:51 |
| levander | jewel_: yeah, good point | 06:51 |
| grphx | When I'm adding files to the blank DVD, how do I tell how much more I have left to go? | 06:51 |
| === thoreauputic [~prospero@wolax9-066.dialup.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| mai | Harold_installin, only if you upgrade the kernel | 06:51 |
| _crimsun | steven_: enable the universe repo, then install the xfce4 package | 06:51 |
| steven_ | whats hte universe repo? | 06:51 |
| jewel_ | levander: compiling the kernel with the -j3 option should keep both processors busy | 06:51 |
| trinidad | _crimsun: it's there | 06:51 |
| Harold_installin | mai: So you're not upgrading the kernel when you do an apt-get upgrade? | 06:52 |
| _crimsun | steven_: wiki.ubuntu.com/UniversePackages | 06:52 |
| Harold_installin | tiglion: What's the bug? | 06:52 |
| steven_ | wiki.ubuntu.com/UniversePackages thats the site | 06:52 |
| steven_ | ok | 06:52 |
| mai | Harold_installin, not necessarily | 06:52 |
| auk | dinner | 06:52 |
| bimberi | mihai_: there are problems with the us repositories. Change us.archive to just archive in your sources.list | 06:52 |
| Harold_installin | mai: I had a feeling you'd say that. How do you know? | 06:52 |
| mai | Harold_installin, if you don't want to upgrade the kernel (but apt wants you to) just hold it | 06:52 |
| mai | Harold_installin, it will tell you what applications it will upgrade | 06:52 |
| mai | Harold_installin, better yet, use 'aptitude' and it will give you a nice graphical menu | 06:52 |
| Harold_installin | mai: So how do you hold the kernel? | 06:52 |
| jewel_ | Harold_installin: Just right click on it in synaptic | 06:53 |
| levander | Harold_installin: good question | 06:53 |
| jewel_ | harold_installin: I think... :) | 06:53 |
| === shad0w1e [~stjrox@ool-182ede79.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| levander | Any way to do that with apt-get? | 06:53 |
| jasmuz | jewel_: may i query you my results? | 06:53 |
| shad0w1e | help! what do I do with the output of lspci! | 06:53 |
| _crimsun | trinidad: you need to unmute the External Amplifier | 06:53 |
| Harold_installin | jewel: Do you know how to do this via the terminal? | 06:53 |
| shad0w1e | its just giving me a buncha numbers! | 06:53 |
| trinidad | ok ill try again | 06:53 |
| trinidad | brb | 06:53 |
| tiglionabbit | Harold_installin: well this has happened several times so far. Run kaffeine from terminal, open a file and play it. Then press control-C at terminal... it closes, but kaffeine is still displayed and playing stuff! Several seconds later, kaffeine takes over all my system resources and my fan goes wild trying to cool it down | 06:53 |
| nickrud | Harold_installin right click in synaptic, equals sign in aptitude | 06:53 |
| nickrud | Harold_installin synaptic is an excellent tool | 06:54 |

| trinidad | _crimsun: yes, I also have played with unmuting the analog/digital jack. | 06:56 |
| stisev | trinidad: I successfully setup VMware on my box | 06:56 |
| stisev | trinidad: installed vmware tools | 06:56 |
| jewel_ | Harold_installin: I think you edit some configuration file w/ apt-get | 06:56 |
| _crimsun | trinidad: the analog/digital output jack needs to be ON (unmuted) if you're using analog speakers | 06:56 |
| stisev | trinidad: (on my laptop) but i'm having trouble using any other resolution other than the virtual 650x480 | 06:56 |

| nootrope | ...and it doesn't give NTFS as a choice. Does this matter? if I choose the current D partition for Ubuntu, will the ~100GB of data be wiped from it? | 07:04 |
| grphx | It didn't find gnomebaker | 07:05 |
| tiglionabbit | nootrope: you cannot use linux on NTFS, but you can resize an ntfs partition to fit an ext3 partition for linux | 07:05 |
| Stan__ | when trying to boot from Floppy (because PC wont boot from CD), I get "non-system disk or disk error <br> Replace and press any key when ready | 07:05 |

| tiglionabbit | cmatheson_: if he just installed, he probably doesn't have aptitude. Say apt-get | 07:06 |

| mcdenyer | i dont get how to install linux apps | 07:33 |
| jasmuz | Hackmo: what do you need to do then? | 07:33 |
| Razor-X | mcdenyer: apt-get/synaptic is the general method | 07:33 |
| mai | Razor-X: haha, i use the text-based ones too (but if you really wanna get me involved i prefer irssi too (or epic4) | 07:33 |
| othernoob | mcdenyer: you maybe want to edit your sources.list firs though | 07:33 |
| othernoob | first* | 07:33 |
| thoreauputic | mcdenyer: try typing sudo apt-get install gftp :) | 07:33 |
| Hackmo | jasmuz: it doesn't work, i'm getting an error that it is already in use when I try to use it | 07:33 |

| ubotu | extra, extra, read all about it, sources is http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/38 | 07:33 |
| Razor-X | mai: not many BitchX users left ;) only because irssi tends to be defacto in newer distros | 07:33 |
| Harold_installin | Who was a talking with about my kernel not upgrading? | 07:33 |
| mcdenyer | yea i already edited the list | 07:33 |
| tiglionabbit | mcdenyer: it's not that hard, you can just use synaptic | 07:33 |
| Razor-X | actually, in an older distro, BitchX was defacto, whence I adjusted to BitchX | 07:33 |

| Harold_installin | Fellows/ladies: So when I started X and went into Gnome, there was a message there that stated that I could upgrade a few packages, including linux-kernel-image or something. So now that I'm back in the terminal, I've run an apt-get dist-upgrade. | 07:35 |

Now that I've got irssi, I have it connect to freenode and feed nickserv my password on startup, and I have all my windows within the same instance, and can see their activity with the colors of their window numbers... it's uh, neat | 07:35 |

| thor|afk | mcdenyer: ^^^ | 08:12 |
| dbernar1 | mcdenyer: yes, if you put sudo aptitude install apache2 in a script file, that will install apache2, as a working web server | 08:12 |
| cafuego | MrJung_: aptitude and apt-get do the same thing | 08:13 |
| dbernar1 | apt-get install is very much the same thing as aptitude install | 08:13 |
| MrJung_ | cafuego, ah ok, but wat is the deferent ? | 08:13 |
| dbernar1 | very small difference | 08:13 |
| cafuego | MrJung_: aptitude can also run by itself, apt-get can not. | 08:13 |
| thor|afk | MrJung_: aptitude is slightly smarter ;) | 08:13 |
| nickrud | aptititude is just a bit smarter about package dependcy removal | 08:14 |
| dbernar1 | aptitude is a user front end for apt-get | 08:14 |
| dbernar1 | kinda, thats a sentence someone else said | 08:14 |
| _crimsun | aptitude is a frontend for apt, yes, not for apt-get. | 08:14 |

| The_Vox | signbarn: sudo -s | 08:18 |

| soccerfiend | is it that soon? | 09:52 |
| Nermal | I thought it was november | 09:52 |
| MidNightRaVeN | well... yea lol sometimes, but I still love to game and I figure that if I keep it this way, I'll be able to play and have an actual stable system | 09:52 |
| cafuego | soccerfiend: Any reason you can't use the normal udev deb with 2.6.12? | 09:52 |
| soccerfiend | it breaks my udev rules | 09:52 |
| soccerfiend | http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/6/20/417 | 09:52 |
| nickrud_ | no, that's less than 2 months before release, about that time I figure the dev's will go into bug fix mode, not feature mode | 09:52 |

| cafuego | Nermal: What did you run it on? | 10:03 |
| Nermal | athlon 2400+ 512 mb ram | 10:03 |

| Nermal | lol | 10:03 |

| Proteque | Nermal: the manual does not say what the binary is called. if it is named pearpc it is not in path here | 10:03 |
| cafuego | Proteque: 'ppc' | 10:04 |
| Nermal | you didn't think after 3 hours that something might be wrong | 10:04 |

| tiglionabbit | I burned a knoppix CD for this guy once, to help him save his PC. It was an old PC. When we booted it, I was immediately very pissed off to see the bouncing icons and all manner of crap to eat up his tiny amount of memory and crash the poor machine. | 10:46 |

| tiglionabbit | if you "do something ignorant" | 10:51 |
| nikkia | BeatYou: ext3 for the simple reason that it is backwards and forwards compatible | 10:51 |

| tiglionabbit | BeatYou: you will be l33t when you learn to use vim or emacs to the extent that you are editing multiple documents in a single instance of it, using several windows in them, compiling, and running your shell through them, such that during programming you never have to look at another terminal or quit | 11:18 |
| nickrud_ | Epiphany as windows opened from liferea; galeon for general browsing. | 11:18 |
| gm78 | Rydekull, really??? i just use the i810 drivers, do the ones they provide give u better performance? | 11:18 |
| nikkia | tiglionabbit: to be l33t in emacs you also need to have written at least one major .el file too :) | 11:18 |
| tiglionabbit | nikkia: yeah, that too | 11:18 |
| MidNightRaVeN | whcoolmon: =( yea... the way i've understood it is that it's a pain in the arse to get started and going... but once it's up, it's rock solid. I just like it cuz I felt frustrated and burnt out on Windows... | 11:18 |

| Rydekull | gm78: yeah, long since I tried but it improved a little :) | 11:19 |
| tiglionabbit | BeatYou: you will also have to have at least 200 keyboard commands for your favorite editor on hand at all times, by heart | 11:19 |

| gm78 | thoreauputic, yeah, and it craps out on standards compliant sites. run www.redhat.com through w3c.org's html checker, it should be compliant, dillo wont render it properly | 11:34 |
| gm78 | MidNightRaVeN, open a terminal, type lspci, and then post the line about your soundcard | 11:35 |
| MidNightRaVeN | dunno... no sound... could just be something stupid like the sound is just muted or something cuz I just started Ubuntu today... but I mean... the sound isn't muted and for some reason when i try to test it, nothing plays | 11:35 |

| thoreauputic | gm78: I use it mostly for local files and on my old pentium 200 machine | 11:37 |
| gm78 | MidNightRaVeN, yep, hats it | 11:37 |
| gm78 | *thats | 11:37 |
| othernoob | MidNightRaVeN: do you use kde or gnome? | 11:37 |
| tiglionabbit | what is cron? | 11:37 |
| martii | does /etc/init.d/cron restart restart anacron ? | 11:37 |
| MidNightRaVeN | gnome | 11:37 |
| MidNightRaVeN | for now anywho | 11:37 |
| martii | in fact there is cron + anacron | 11:37 |
| gm78 | MidNightRaVeN, ok, how are you trying to test your sound? like with what program? | 11:37 |
| martii | why ? | 11:37 |
| nikkia | martii: they serve different purposes | 11:38 |
| tiglionabbit | MidNightRaVeN: if you ever decide to add kde, install the package 'kubuntu-desktop' while you don't have a backports repository in your list. Just uh, store that snigget of info for later | 11:38 |

| thoreauputic | martii: anacron does useful stuff like running cron after the machine has been down or otherwise unable to run cron jobs | 11:38 |
| gm78 | tiglionabbit, ah, alright | 11:39 |

| REWind | tiglionabbit, I needed to remove the windows partion and the swap partion to be albe to reformat and recreate the windows partition before installation. That created a change in partitions number as you say... it counts from the "master".. What I did was load a live CD and then rearrange the partitions so they have the same numbering as before and then reinstalled grub. That was my misstake I would say. | 11:45 |

| znh | sam_: use screen :) | 12:36 |

| serengeti | I think rsync is the way to go | 01:03 |
| lampshade | nikkia: not really, I was talking like the new 802.11 devices, yeah. That are just little usb rings. Then I could put this one ubuntu box upstairs and in this other room and still have net | 01:03 |

| feedback | anatole: i don't think that xterm allows that, unless you play with xcomposite, eterm should do the trick though. | 01:23 |

| thoreauputic | anatole: xterm doesn't do transparency - eterm, aterm do but don't support utf-8, and gnome terminal does transparency and utf-8 but is a slow starter - take your pick ;) | 01:25 |
| anatole | :| | 01:26 |
| asad2k5 | I tried installing breezy install amd64 on amd64 3200, base system installs ok but end of copying packages to hard drive the system hangs. Is there a work around | 01:26 |
| anatole | i would use gnome terminal | 01:26 |
| gm78 | thoreauputic, i just tried eterm with transparency, doesnt work so well, i had it on top of xchat and it showed the desktop through the terminal | 01:26 |
| anatole | if i could make it borderless | 01:26 |
| anatole | gm78: that's how this kind of transparency should work | 01:26 |

| digitalfox|sleep | NoHope, Re:? | 02:29 |
| NoHope | Is GNOME-based, but is it possible to install Qt and KDE? | 02:29 |
| mjr | NoHope, of course | 02:29 |
| digitalfox|sleep | yes | 02:29 |
| digitalfox|sleep | Kubuntu | 02:29 |
| digitalfox|sleep | look it up | 02:29 |
| deFrysk | NoHope, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 02:29 |
| NoHope | I prefer GNOME, but I'll try to develop some Qt applications... | 02:30 |
| mjr | NoHope, in fact, there's the Kubuntu project, which uses KDE by default, but you can also install regular Ubuntu and then add the kubuntu-desktop package for a full KDE installation | 02:30 |
| digitalfox|sleep | I've heard Qt is easier to code for than GTK | 02:30 |
| mjr | digitalfox|sleep, I've heard that too, but I'd guess it's largely due to people comparing the GTK C api to Qt ;) | 02:30 |
| NoHope | I'd downloaded the install CD but I didn't install yet... Does it comes with: perl? php? apache? python? tcl/tk? anjuta? glade? | 02:30 |
| digitalfox|sleep | true :p | 02:30 |

| NoHope | mjr, I don't know what is better to my purposes: GTK and Qt. | 02:31 |
| digitalfox|sleep | NoHope, the install CD comes with perl I'm nearly positive | 02:31 |
| mjr | I mean, it's nice for portability and bindability that the GTK API is C, but if you're sane, you can still program GTK software with some nicer language (Python, Java, whatever) | 02:31 |
| digitalfox|sleep | dunno about apache and php | 02:31 |
| digitalfox|sleep | brb | 02:31 |
| mjr | NoHope, right; well, the important thing is that you can easily have both in ubuntu | 02:31 |

| mjr | NoHope, I'm a semi-developer, and I'd use GTK (but not with C, but using some nicer application programming language such as python or java or whatever you like), but I'll admit to some bias against KDE/Qt stuff | 02:35 |

| siorfin | my vid card sucks but it should run faster than it is | 04:04 |

| siorfin | after a week of futzing with it it all of a sudden started working | 06:30 |

| adwait | robotgeek: why? | 06:30 |
| D1 | I had to do a few things to get my lappie working, but now its perfect. | 06:31 |
| adwait | robotgeek: come to think of it the only multiple sounds i hear are if i play two players / music + ubuntu sounds | 06:31 |
| siorfin | its worth it not going back to winblows but honestly that is a major turn off for anyone who isnt a geek and just wants it to work | 06:31 |
| Groverman | Rockett17, Slack is such a breeze on old hardware it is amazing. Ubuntu rocks on new hardware. I sort of must use both of them and is very happy with my installations. i can't imagine having anything else | 06:31 |
| D1 | true. | 06:31 |
| siorfin | that is the downfall of linux unfortunately, the avg user cant use it yet so we are stuck with windows | 06:31 |

| {Seb} | i'm running Ubuntu on my iBook G4 | 07:38 |
| caldwell | if i have module source (for example, in my case, lirc) how do I compile it against the source tree for the stock kernel image? | 07:38 |
| Sionide | I neglected to blog about sudoedit, which is a technique I learned about from Flavio. When needing to edit a file, I've been using sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list (for example). | 07:38 |
| Sionide | sudoedit is cool because it launches whatever the default editor is on the system (the $EDITOR variable), on Ubuntu by default this launches nano, while people like me set the default editor to be vim. | 07:38 |
| Sionide | So now when someone needs help and asks you which file to edit, you can just tell them sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list and it will launch their editor of choice. Leaving the text editor out of the conversation is of course a bonus, lest an emacs user hurl something heavy at me from across the room. | 07:38 |

| HaroldJohnson | husher: What? Are we supposed to *want* to torture ourselves with installation? | 10:02 |
| jasoncohen | husher, also, it's run from inetd on demand so vnc only starts up when someone connects and then it turns off when they disconnect | 10:02 |
| nalioth | kenny: perhaps you should read this http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/05/09/1846213&tid=78&tid=130 | 10:02 |
| mpmc | does ubuntu come with apache installed? | 10:02 |
| nalioth | kenny: some of those testing websites fudge a bit, too | 10:02 |
| husher | HaroldJohnson: yes. that's the only way we know we are true geeks. | 10:02 |

| jasoncohen | mpmc, no but you can install it yourself. by default ubuntu has no open ports. it doesn't even install openssh-server | 10:02 |
| nalioth | mpmc: not to my knowledge | 10:02 |
| jasoncohen | mpmc, if you want a comprehensive list of all the packages installed by ubuntu look at packages.ubuntu.com and search for ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-base | 10:03 |
| mpmc | I'm gonna have to reinstall :).. I've installed 2 versions of apache :P | 10:03 |
| husher | josoncohen: that is very cool. I'm gonna set it up here | 10:03 |
| HaroldJohnson | husher: Actually, jesting aside (sort of), the GUI is currently looking better than OS X did on this PowerBook. Or, more specifically, the screen hasn't darkened, as it did on OS X. (An issue with using OS X on these Old World PowerBooks.) | 10:03 |
| HaroldJohnson | husher: LOL, by the way | 10:03 |
| TimmyJ | Quick question: I installed ubuntu on my 160GB drive as my only partition but today I got a version of XP pro that I wanna put in for a small gaming partition (like 20 GB) and I was wondering if it was possible to resize the ubuntu partition and if so, how | 10:03 |
| jasoncohen | husher, have it run on port 5901 if you want to also allow users to connect to your actual desktop with remote desktop connection (vino-server) | 10:03 |
| supernix | Hiya gang | 10:03 |
| nalioth | HaroldJohnson: i'm surprised you got osx goin on the old thing | 10:03 |
| jasoncohen | husher, just change the "5900" to "5901" in /etc/inetd.conf | 10:03 |
| nalioth | TimmyJ: qtparted | 10:03 |
| TimmyJ | nalioth, thx I'll check that out :) | 10:04 |
| supernix | I just installed Kubuntu and it did a rather odd thing it created two unmounted partitions one of those being a 1.3mb and one a 1k partition both unmounted | 10:04 |
| HaroldJohnson | nalioth: It had 128MB ram at the time. I used XPostFacto, and version of BootX (I think). | 10:04 |
| jasoncohen | husher, oh and remember, if you're doing this over the internet, you should tunnel over SSH | 10:04 |
| husher | well, my breezy colony 2 cd just got done downloading, so i'm gonna have to try that out | 10:04 |
| mpmc | look.. http://mpmc.hn.org | 10:04 |
| supernix | Why in the world did it do that ? | 10:04 |

| vagamente | any audigy2 user? | 10:04 |
| mpmc | Anyway.. I'll do a clean install... | 10:04 |
| HaroldJohnson | nalioth: I'm diggin' Linux, though, and I want to have a least one system running it. | 10:04 |
| jasoncohen | husher, lol...well, if you want someone sniffing your passwords and trashing your computer be my guest :) | 10:05 |
| nalioth | TimmyJ: also, i recommend insatlling windows using the fat filesystem (not ntfs) | 10:05 |
| jasoncohen | vnc by default has no encryption of data so it's all sent in the clear | 10:05 |
| HaroldJohnson | nalioth: Besides, I kind of like using the terminal sometimes. | 10:05 |
| mpmc | I've messed it up a little | 10:05 |
| nalioth | HaroldJohnson: it seems you have at least one system running on it | 10:05 |
| mpmc | Bye | 10:05 |
| nalioth | HaroldJohnson: the terminal is your friend | 10:05 |
| jasoncohen | husher, and tunneling over ssh is simple- just run "ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 serverip" | 10:05 |

| Stan2 | Following the suggestions of this chatroom, I just bought an Ethernet Card and put it in my Ubuntu computer. Now what? | 10:08 |
| husher | jasoncohen: don't you just need to enable xdmcp in the gdm setup app? | 10:08 |

| === six2one [~six2one@atmosphereannealing.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| husher | jasoncohen: really? that is weird. use a different theme, i guess ;) | 10:09 |
| jasoncohen | husher, there's no option for XDMCP i can see with either of the human themes. I used a gnome theme and i was able to do it fine | 10:09 |
| husher | jasoncohen: wait, where are you doing this? | 10:10 |
| jasoncohen | so i'm wondering why it's not working because when i use it with inetd- it shows a disconnect button leading me to believe that the theme should support remote login | 10:10 |
| HappyFool | Stan2: how is whatever computer you're chatting on connected to the internet? | 10:10 |

| ompaul | Stan2, if you have done as nalioth has suggested and got such a card, starting ubuntu and clicking on system administration networking should get you up and going | 10:10 |
| jasoncohen | husher, on my ubuntu desktop. i enabled XDMCP on the client and opened the port on the server to connect. i can connect fine using any other theme | 10:10 |

| Stan2 | ompaul ok thanks | 10:11 |

| vagamente | any audigy2 soundcard user???? | 10:11 |
| Stan2 | thakns | 10:11 |
| jasoncohen | husher, as is "allow running XDMCP chooser from the login screen" | 10:11 |
| jasoncohen | husher, yes- exactly- but only for the two human themes | 10:11 |
| TimmyJ | nalioth, with qtparted with /dev/sda1 (my 150GB ext3 part of my drive) all I can do is delete or format my drive, is this because its "active"? | 10:11 |
| husher | jasoncohen: huh. I guess they're just broken? | 10:12 |
| jasoncohen | if that's the case, why do i see a disconnect button when i connect over VNC | 10:12 |

| Aragorn_Guardian | ompaul: real good life... | 11:42 |
| HappyFool | Aerebus: maybe i got it wrong earlier | 11:42 |
| nalioth | QMario: sorry, but some folks in here i wonder how they booted the ubuntu livecd | 11:43 |
| Aragorn_Guardian | i am trying...but the friends around dont share this view... | 11:43 |
| ompaul | Aragorn_Guardian, it can be done, and when something does not fit I do not worry about it, I find an alternative or move on, it is never that important | 11:43 |
| Aragorn_Guardian | worst for them... | 11:43 |
| Aragorn_Guardian | i will try, after make the samba works fine, use qemu | 11:44 |
| Aragorn_Guardian | worked with linux isos | 11:44 |
| stan3 | is it necessary to get anit-virus/spyware/adware appz on ubuntu? | 11:44 |
| Aragorn_Guardian | i pretend install a windows box, put in a iso, and bye bye windows... | 11:44 |
| Aragorn_Guardian | ehehehe | 11:44 |
| nalioth | stan3: only if you want to scan b4 sending things to your windows using brethren | 11:44 |
| ompaul | Aragorn_Guardian, I like qemu, but you need a lot of ram | 11:44 |
| Aragorn_Guardian | really | 11:44 |
| nalioth | stan3: no known viruses on linux | 11:44 |
| Lufusol | i hate to be a noob, but i just installed 5.04 from cd and after the cd part finished and it rebooted, grub loaded to a command line prompt.. and I have no idea what to do with this. | 11:44 |
| Aragorn_Guardian | qemu-fast dont worked in early tests | 11:44 |
| stan3 | nalioth, k thanks... how bout firewall? | 11:44 |
| Aragorn_Guardian | gonna try... | 11:45 |
| Fikrann | stan3, unless you want to remove viruses/spyware/adware from windoze partitions, no. | 11:45 |
| Aragorn_Guardian | but works | 11:45 |
| nalioth | stan3: by default, no daemons listen at external ports | 11:45 |
| ompaul | Aragorn_Guardian, well enjoy it anyway | 11:45 |
| Aragorn_Guardian | i booted a cluster iso...ehehehe | 11:45 |

| Lufusol | I'm scanning over the wiki here and don't see much info about dealing with a grub command prompt but i assumed it would just "work" as grub and lilo always have for me | 11:46 |

| Lufusol | i have no login prompt... i see "grub>" | 11:48 |
| Lufusol | and i can tab for a list of commands but aren't familiar with them or their arguments | 11:48 |
| ubuntu_ | ty ^_^ | 11:48 |
| nalioth | Lufusol: i'm not familiar with grub (i use yaboot on my macs) but here is the only thing i can offer you | 11:49 |
| Lufusol | yes, it's giving me a grub command line each time, i was expecting a graphical menu or atleast a display of my 3 OS's | 11:49 |
| Lufusol | and a number to enter | 11:49 |
| ^thehatsrule^ | Lufusol: for a menu, you need a menu.lst or similar on /boot/grub usually | 11:49 |
| nalioth | Lufusol: someone in here may be able to offer more exact help | 11:49 |
| nalioth | Lufusol: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 11:49 |
| Lufusol | thanks for your attention, anyway | 11:49 |
