| Kyral | They speak of "drivers" and "reboots" | 12:38 |
| Burgundavia | it is reasonable for someone to expect a computer to act logically | 12:38 |
| holycow | which is usually labeled 'the customer is right, therefore even if i am completelly wrong i will stillinsist that i am right" | 12:39 |
| Kyral | it scares me | 12:39 |
| Burgundavia | Spec, better than xp | 12:39 |
| MegaManII | linux was the first to do that Spec | 12:39 |
| Burgundavia | Spec, xp only supports one user logged in at the same time, ubuntu can have as many as your have hardware | 12:39 |
| marsh | holycow - but do you have a sympathy for them? | 12:39 |
| holycow | the second problem is the willingness of the user to actually learn | 12:39 |
| holycow | yes of course | 12:39 |
| kbrooks | XP is not "multiuser" | 12:39 |
| Kyral | I help newbies to the point where I think they know enough | 12:39 |
| holycow | i take copious amounts of time to help them overcome their baggage | 12:39 |
| Kyral | or until they piss me off. | 12:39 |
| Kyral | then I need to play UT2k4 before I kill them | 12:40 |
| holycow | marsh, perhaps you are talking about arrogance?> | 12:40 |
| Spec | Burgundavia: So I can press two buttons, and have my processes running in the background, and have someone else log in, spawn their apps, switch user, and go back to my X? | 12:40 |
| marsh | do you think they would be happier, more comfortable | 12:40 |
| marsh | holycow, from the coders..? | 12:40 |
| marsh | yeah... possibly. | 12:40 |
| Burgundavia | Spec, yes and breezy has a fast user switching applet | 12:40 |

| Spec | Burgundavia: Is there a way to get to GDM without logging out/ending all your apps? | 12:40 |
| marsh | but I'm finding that the searches for answers are gonna be mostly in the config files.. | 12:41 |

| Cooner750 | yaaar: yea | 02:55 |
| dabar | do: top, in a terminal | 02:55 |
| Kris | the one that's at the top of the screen by default | 02:55 |
| dabar | see if you see the process there. | 02:55 |
| cut0ff | Kris odd thing | 02:55 |
| Cooner750 | For one thin, the BIOS can boot from USB, and 2; I'm going to add it to the Windows XP Boot.ini | 02:55 |
| Kris | gnome-panel seems to be the one at the bottom of the screen | 02:55 |
| Cooner750 | thing* | 02:55 |
| dabar | kris, both are gnome panels. | 02:55 |
| dabar | Bottom, and top panel. | 02:55 |
| yaaar | Cooner750, i think i agree with anto9us....I'd prolly put /boot on the internal and write grub to that drive too | 02:55 |
| Hoxzer | Dabar: but it is :D | 02:55 |
| dabar | right click on the top one, and select add to panel. | 02:55 |
| Kris | dabar, ok | 02:55 |
| Cooner750 | yaaar: that what i' | 02:56 |

| tiglionabbit | dabar: you don't put a # on.. | 03:09 |
| anto9us | Cooner750: I do believe the Ubuntu install cd promises it can resize windows partitions | 03:09 |
| tiglionabbit | it can | 03:09 |
| tiglionabbit | I've done it | 03:09 |
| apokryphos | !windows | 03:09 |

| apokryphos | !ntfs | 03:09 |
| ubotu | hmm... ntfs is the filesystem used under Windows XP. The Ubuntu installer can safely resize an NTFS partition to create a new partition for you to install Ubuntu. http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/winmac_fstab | 03:09 |
| aebudz | yeah that did it | 03:09 |

| Kris | :-/ | 03:11 |

| Cooner750 | wow. I'm having a hard time typing tonight | 03:12 |
| tiglionabbit | Kris: you should be able to "startx" or "gdm" into it | 03:12 |
| Cooner750 | Does the installer identify partitions with numbers? like disk0part1? | 03:12 |

| zone17 | ok thanks! | 03:19 |
| Crashtest | maybe the guide could just be expanded? A little explanation after each instruction? Newbies seem to love the guide | 03:19 |
| Frank_dot | cafuego: so opening port 22 should open my ssh server | 03:19 |

| dabar | Jet2k5: you can reconfigure the xserver, how would one reconfigure the monitor... | 03:31 |
| Jet2k5 | yes that | 03:31 |
| Computer__Guru | roses are red, violets are blue, i suffer from multiple personality disorder, and so do i | 03:31 |

| bur[n] er | it's out today and has an impressive changelog | 03:31 |
| Computer__Guru | jet: change your vertical refresh rate | 03:31 |
| Jet2k5 | and it has a resolution of 1280x1024 | 03:31 |
| dabar | tiglionabbit: so, no letters? | 03:32 |
| Computer__Guru | jet are you using kde or gnome? | 03:32 |
| tiglionabbit | dabar: exactly | 03:32 |
| Jet2k5 | gnome | 03:32 |
| Computer__Guru | oh | 03:32 |
| dabar | tiglionabbit: weird eh:) | 03:32 |
| tiglionabbit | dabar: it prints some letters, but most of them it doesn't | 03:32 |
| Jet2k5 | and I checked, it doesn't let me go higher than 1024x768 | 03:32 |
| Computer__Guru | was gonna say use krandr to change your refresh rate | 03:32 |
| tiglionabbit | like on that page for instance | 03:32 |
| Cooner750 | is it ok to update Ubuntu while running from LiveCD? | 03:32 |
| Cooner750 | Last time I tried it froze and I had to reboot | 03:32 |
| Jet2k5 | I know how to change it in gnome Computer__Guru | 03:32 |
| tiglionabbit | Cooner750: yup, it's fine, as long as you have some ram | 03:32 |
| Jet2k5 | that tames the screen moving | 03:33 |
| Computer__Guru | so change it,t hat fixed the problem for me | 03:33 |
| tiglionabbit | Cooner750: lots of ram | 03:33 |
| Jet2k5 | but how about getting it biger? | 03:33 |
| Computer__Guru | oh i dunno | 03:33 |
| Cooner750 | I have 448MB. actually 512 but 64 goes to crappy VIA/S3G Intergrated Card | 03:33 |

| Cooner750 | ok installing GParted (again) | 03:33 |
| Jet2k5 | hold on let me check with windows | 03:33 |
| tiglionabbit | dabar: do you know anything I could read to understand why it does this? | 03:34 |
| Cooner750 | I ran sudo apt-get update and then ran sudo apt-get install gparted and it's working | 03:34 |

| dabar | what have you tried? the usual stuff, like removing readding printer, and so on? | 03:34 |
| Computer__Guru | Jet2k5: also, in /etc/X11/Xorg.conf under display you might want to put "1280x1024" BEFORE "1024x768" on each of your Modes lines under the Screen section | 03:34 |
| anto9us | there's a man called computer_guru, who liked to visit #ubuntu, I remember one time, he wrote out a rhyme, because he thought it was fun to | 03:35 |

| ce33na | gotcha | 03:37 |
| Cooner750 | ok. My FAT32 partiton is recognized as "sda1" | 03:37 |
| Cooner750 | Is that correct? | 03:37 |
| Computer__Guru | the elitist attitude that some people adopt once they've become adept at *nix | 03:37 |
| Cooner750 | I would imagine that the EXT3 partiton will be "sda2"? | 03:38 |
| Cooner750 | lets see. I have to unmount it. | 03:38 |
| anto9us | Cooner750: if that's the first partition you've created on your external usb driver, yes. | 03:38 |

| Cooner750 | I'm unmounting it now to resize the FAT32. How much room should I leave for EXT3? | 03:38 |
| anto9us | Cooner750: I'm still betting you'll need a /boot on your internal drive | 03:38 |
| Cooner750 | 4-5GB? | 03:39 |

| anto9us | and I agree, they're not the friendliest of people in there | 03:42 |

| ce33na | very similar path to mine. I also started with Slack in 95. Been on Debian for over a year. When I, as an experiment, put ubuntu on my wife's laptop; my jaw hit the floor. Ubuntu is the cleanest distro that I have ever seen. I've been swaping machines to it for the last few weeks. | 03:44 |
| Cooner750 | resizing now | 03:44 |
| Computer__Guru | you'll set your ext3 partition as type 83 - Linux, then mke2fs -j /dev/sda2 | 03:44 |
| Computer__Guru | err probably gonna be /dev/sda3 since your swap will be /dev/sda2 | 03:44 |

| anto9us | Razor-X: I've found them useful, but I always use rtfm with them | 04:20 |
| IIIEars | most of the servers that run a year or more at a time without rebooting are BSD. (shrug) | 04:20 |
| concept10 | misfit_toy, okay. | 04:20 |
| Razor-X | frequency: what's the path to your OS you want to add? | 04:20 |
| Computer__Guru | absinthe: depends on the applications of your system.. FreeBSD handles higher levels of file descriptors a little better than linux, traditionally | 04:20 |
| frequency | it's /boot/vmlinuz on /dev/hda2.. | 04:21 |

| Computer__Guru | well | 04:22 |

| Computer__Guru | ubotu mplayer-install is Simple: enable universe and multiverse in /etc/apt/sources.list, then sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get build-dep mplayer-$CPU, then sudo apt-get install mplayer-$CPU mplayer-fonts. $CPU can be 686 if you're on a pentium or k6 or k7 if you're on an Athlon. | 05:03 |

| poningru | what does that mean? | 05:32 |
| === _DuDe_ might be back later | ||

| poningru | and how do I fix it? | 05:32 |
| mebaran151 | JDahl, exactly | 05:32 |
| poningru | Scroopy: sure whats the prob? | 05:32 |
| mebaran151 | levander, yeah | 05:32 |
| mebaran151 | because 1x for CDROM is much slower | 05:33 |

| Scroopy | i want it to add another directory | 05:33 |
| Scroopy | how do i do that? | 05:33 |
| mebaran151 | the x is based on the speed of the first recorder of its kind | 05:33 |

| nalioth | levander: there is a point in writing speed where the data cannot be written in a reliable method | 05:33 |

| poningru | tiglionabbit: let me guess installing java and dvd etc. | 09:41 |
| Jomdom | i must have been the fact that i went into BIOS and changed the boot priority of each drive in turn | 09:41 |
| Jomdom | restarting after each | 09:41 |
| Jomdom | somehow that helped | 09:41 |
| tiglionabbit | Madpilot, yes, you certainly should. He seems to think that all Ubuntu users are morons, and the documentation should be written so grandmas can understand it. It seems this means to him that there should be no options (I mentioned Synaptic, Aptitude, and Apt-get in the same section), however I don't find his own work all that understandable anyway | 09:41 |
| discord_ | xliu, slocate stands for secure locate guess its more secure than the old locate | 09:42 |

| MidNightRaVeN | is there a page on how to add programs from your 32bit root to your Applications tab?? | 09:43 |
| Madpilot | tiglionabbit: but user interface doesn't always have to mean "as simple as possible"... | 09:43 |

| bob2 | MidNightRaVeN: no, it's just going to make it suck less | 09:48 |

| bob2 | if nothing else, all the people who write the Free software you use use the CLI...get rid of it, and you have no more people writing stuff for you | 09:50 |
| Tomcat_ | To be honest, I'm more interested in the stuff beneath the GUI in breezy. :) | 09:50 |
| nickrud | xliu, good reason. You can add a line to /etc/cron, which will run, say, at 2:am if you leave the laptop plugged in; if you don't leave it plugged in, it doesn't run | 09:50 |

| bob2 | MidNightRaVeN: if you're going to go to other channels for help, tho, bear in mind they often won't know ubuntu specifics, and can sometimes give advice that's kinda bad to follow on ubuntu | 10:05 |
| Flannol` | bob2 how big is the OS (on harddisk space) with all the programs it installs? i only have 20gb not sure if i can have a multiboot | 10:05 |
| nickrud | aarcane, I do use pipes, and was parrotting someone else who was advocating them as one of the first tools to learn about :) | 10:05 |
| bob2 | Flannol`: 1.8GB for the default install | 10:05 |
| IIIEars | Cedega is nice - but you have to be patient to get results with it. not a one click install usually. | 10:05 |
| aarcane | nickrud, sorry.. bad night for me, I'm a bit behind.. | 10:05 |
| MidNightRaVeN | bob2: will keep in mind. I'll probably just go to float around there and see what I can pick up and such | 10:05 |

| mythbinder | Its the DVD Install/Live Disc, I had the dl/ checked after it was done and verified the burn after it was done, | 10:10 |

| IIIEars | there was a big international law enforcement crackdown on torrent sites last week | 10:10 |

| eyequeue | dam: rhat is YOUR password | 10:45 |
| Tomasu | aarcane, maybe I'm just used to gentoo's awsome wiki and forums ;) | 10:45 |
| aarcane | dam, you should set a root password using sudo passwd, and remember it just in case, but for teh most part, sudo is j00r friend | 10:45 |
| Xyc0 | ubuntu's wiki is pretty good | 10:45 |
| dam | walla! | 10:45 |
| dam | so not knowing the admin password is OK? | 10:45 |
| eyequeue | dam: you can change your password with the passwd command | 10:45 |
| aarcane | Tomasu, I know what you mean, I haven't found jack crap on the ubuntu wiki without a link to it | 10:45 |
| Xyc0 | Gentoo is for people with way too much time on their hands | 10:46 |
| eyequeue | aarcane: it's bad advice to tell him to set a root password | 10:46 |
| aarcane | dam, no, you should always know your root password.. anyone gets on your PC, and knows it, say byebye to any chance of security | 10:46 |
| eyequeue | dam: there should not BE an "admin password" in ubuntu | 10:46 |
| Tomasu | Xyc0, doesnt take that much time with a little tweaking and pre setup (aka: several distcc boxes ;)) | 10:46 |

| IIIEars | the newer processors have a "No Execute" marker in ram that should buy some time gainst hackers for awhile. | 10:48 |

| bob2 | Shorty`: you can file a wishlist bug if it's really important to you | 11:49 |
| sky_monkey007 | if you see alot of packages that it marks as "Unauthenticated", does that mean it's coming from a universe, or multiverse repo? | 11:49 |
| bob2 | or just use cdrecord | 11:49 |
| Shorty` | bob2, you don't agree that it would be useful? | 11:49 |
| bob2 | sure, but it's fluff and clutters th ui | 11:50 |

| tanki | mactiny, If you can afford it, try to find a laptop that allows interchanging of gfx cards. More and more manufacter's are doing this and it's a great idea if you get a laptop as a desktop replacement (ala. gaming). DELL XPS is one I know of that does this. | 01:33 |
| mactiny | areu able to play most of the current games | 01:33 |
| frodo24 | how do i paste | 01:33 |
| mactiny | oh ok, thanks | 01:34 |
| xxenon | mactiny - I play HL2 1280x800 very smoothly | 01:34 |
| mactiny | good to know | 01:34 |
| mactiny | ive been away from the gaming scene for awhile, i must say, im quite amazed that the gfx are that fast | 01:34 |
| mactiny | how would you compare mobile gfx to desktop | 01:35 |

| zwnj | anyone would help me please? | 01:35 |
| mactiny | at the mo | 01:35 |
| xxenon | mactiny - laptop's are still a lot slower. Just check the size of a 6800Ultra..with the fans and all...and the power comsuption | 01:35 |
| xxenon | you cantz bring that to a laptop | 01:35 |
| tanki | mactiny, they've come a long way but in general the desktop beats them out because traditionally you're stuck with the gfx card you have in your laptop for the life of the laptop | 01:36 |
| xxenon | but my VAIO with that geforce has decent performance, I think. | 01:36 |
| mactiny | i get that | 01:36 |

| tanki | mactiny, just remember the two things you can't replace on a laptop is the lcd and the keyboard so make sure whichever laptop you choose, you like both those components | 01:39 |
| tanki | so it doesn't matter if your laptop can power a rocket shuttle, if the keyboard doesn't feel right, then your experience with it will suck | 01:40 |

| Nitrous | hey need help, when you boot up ubuntu and it comes to the boot screen what do you type to start the gnome desktop environment | 01:41 |
| tanki | if you buy an external monitor and keyboard for your laptop because you don't like the laptop's keyboard and lcd, then you bought the wrong laptop imho | 01:42 |
| ben_underscore | Nitrous, it should just start when you log in | 01:42 |

| bigfoot1 | linukso, so if i understand well, there's no good reason to selfishly put these new fonts in /fonts, correct? Or maybe you can tell me if there is a reason why one should choose to put fonts in /fonts, rather than in /usr/share/fonts, please. | 03:58 |

| linukso | bigfoot1: the reason for putting them in ~/.fonts/ is that you might want extra fonts on a computer which you don't have root access on. | 03:59 |
| bigfoot1 | linukso, but in my case, since i have sudo access, i should just put new fonts into usr/share/fonts, correct? | 04:00 |

| ^DodGeR^ | whats route show u Centaur ? the one with UG in it ? ie whats yer default gw route | 07:03 |

| ^DodGeR^ | eg. if essid blah gateway was xyz. but u want your new essid with gateway abc to be activated .. change your default gw route to be via abc | 07:08 |
| D1 | ubuntu has been the only distro my wireless worked so flawlessly with without so little effort. | 07:08 |

| BROKEN_LADDER | mp3 is a dinosaur that we should all quit talking about and using. | 09:20 |
| mjkelly93 | after uninstalling | 09:20 |
| DaZjorz | tobytwirl: try "cd mp3" | 09:20 |

| DaZjorz | without "'s | 09:20 |
| HappyFool | mjkelly93: the ATI version overwrote that, and then erased it when uninstalled | 09:20 |
| DaZjorz | ^^ | 09:20 |
| mjkelly93 | hmm interesting idea | 09:20 |
| HappyFool | mjkelly93: you just need to reinstall linux-restricted-moudles | 09:20 |

| mjkelly93 | ok | 09:22 |
| DaZjorz | Tobytwirl: You use mount (device) (dir) to link the directory to the contents of the device. | 09:22 |

| guerrero | ubuntu maybe you should backup to cd or dvd first | 11:06 |
| poningru | you can choose it in the login screen | 11:06 |
| poningru | zerboxx: use synaptic | 11:06 |
| Jon | guerrero: argh looks like a bad checksum - good call | 11:06 |
| NavYBarT | jon it says nv | 11:07 |
| ubuntu | guerrero, 40 gigs? | 11:07 |
| zerboxx | poningru: I used synaptic to d/l it, but now what? | 11:07 |
| guerrero | ubuntu, triage :-) | 11:07 |
| poningru | if its installed then you should restart | 11:07 |
| Jon | NavYBarT: ok, that's the open source nvidia driver. it only supports 2D and is slower. you can get it to crank out higher resolutions than the default, but you may want to move to the proprietry nvidia driver | 11:07 |

| trevor | err, not "on kde" i mean on ubuntu | 11:07 |
| ubuntu | guerrero, the whole point of installing ubuntu is because I couldnt get my cd burner working in slackware, and when I upgraded the kernel to use ATAPI, i rendered my system un-bootable | 11:07 |
| poningru | and when it asks for your username and password there is an option to change the thing | 11:07 |
| benkong2 | trevor, that's what you want if you want kde | 11:07 |

| benkong2 | do you want kbuntu? | 11:08 |

| carine_ | gnome created it | 11:41 |
| HappyFool | carine_: anyway, you can run dosfsck with 'dosfsck -av /dev/sda1' -- that should fix the drive | 11:41 |
| marcus__ | I think I might be in the wrong channel? | 11:41 |
| dapimp53 | so its just adding the extra one from the synaptic package manager | 11:42 |

| highvolt1ge | Velcan: yes. | 11:50 |
| jasoncohen | that's weird. if you try to mount a nfs partition without nfs-common on boot, it'll just sit there at "mounting remote filesystems" and then either fail or mount it after a long wait | 11:50 |
| === highvolt1ge is now known as highvoltage | ||
| HappyFool | carine_: maybe you can ask here again about the Trash directory thing -- i don't know how to stop that happening | 11:50 |
