| Burgundavia | mdke, we just probably add a section to UserDocumentation called "working with other OSes | 12:02 |
|---|---|---|
| |rockinnerd| | yes | 12:02 |
| Burgundavia | as there are some other howtos for dealing with macos | 12:02 |
| mdke | might be worth thinking about merging this page into that guide? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 12:02 |
| Burgundavia | and the RecoveringUbuntu one | 12:02 |
| |rockinnerd| | I dual-boot windows and Ubuntu, so i can test stuff in windows | 12:02 |
| Burgundavia | mdke, that topic is worth its own wiki page | 12:03 |
| Burgundavia | might be good to have a promient link off of dualboot,though | 12:03 |
| mdke | Burgundavia, guess so, but the two pages could be integrated somehow | 12:03 |
| === mdke nods | ||
| |rockinnerd| | whoops i repeated myself on the QTparted thing | 12:03 |

| |rockinnerd| | --- My feedback on today's WinXP Home + Ubuntu (warty) live together (on an Amilo L1300 if that matters): This section and below looks ugly | 12:05 |
| Burgundavia | remove all the comments and integrate them into the text | 12:06 |
| === Burgundavia is glad not to have to dual boot anymore. He has been windows free for 6 months and loves it | ||
| mdke | me too | 12:08 |
| |rockinnerd| | wish i could be | 12:08 |
| mdke | i think i will need it again soon for work | 12:08 |
| === |rockinnerd| slaps my lexmark printer/scanner/copier | ||

| |rockinnerd| | any AIOs that work well with linux? | 12:11 |
| mdke | ciao enrico :) | 12:11 |
| |rockinnerd| | i'm on a, er, tight budget | 12:11 |
| enrico | hi | 12:13 |
| |rockinnerd| | We should delete this page, and split it up into Windows 2k, Windows XP, and Windows 9x/ME, because all of this info is jumbled together, and slightly confusing | 12:13 |
| |rockinnerd| | b/c all of the 3 methods vary depending on one of the 3 oses | 12:15 |
| |rockinnerd| | s/oses/os groups | 12:15 |
| Burgundavia | the HP everything-is-crap work with linux | 12:16 |
| Burgundavia | HP is actually funding development for htem | 12:16 |
| Burgundavia | |rockinnerd|, can that be done within a single page, with sections? | 12:17 |
| |rockinnerd| | that works too. Is there anyway to tell who the main developer of this page is? | 12:17 |
| Burgundavia | you are now | 12:18 |
| Burgundavia | wiki pages "belong" to nobody | 12:18 |
| === |rockinnerd| embraces the wiki culture | ||
| |rockinnerd| | I intend to finish this once I receive my official Ubuntu CD's, which I will use to do a fresh install. <== who is this "i"? i wonder... | 12:19 |
| Burgundavia | no idea | 12:20 |
| |rockinnerd| | yep. | 12:22 |
| |rockinnerd| | Disclaimer @ top of page: I intend to split up the page into 3 main groups: Win2k, because it seems different than XP, WinXP, and Win9x/ME Also, the errors will be put into another section of this page. So: Pardon our dust, but remodel we must. | 12:22 |
| mdke | go ahead and wreak havoc | 12:24 |
| mdke | that "i intend to finish this" has been there for months iirc | 12:24 |
| mdke | btw I reckon you might find a couple of guides which are helpful for content on the forum | 12:24 |
| === |rockinnerd| saves the raw | ||
| |rockinnerd| | thx mdke | 12:26 |
| mdke | np | 12:26 |
| mdke | also | 12:27 |
| mdke | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/forum/installation/Partitioning | 12:27 |
| |rockinnerd| | as ive said, i dual-boot XP and Ubuntu, so i kinda know how to partition. I will still look @ that link though mdke | 12:28 |
| mdke | |rockinnerd|, just saves effort to use existing guides, I'm not suggesting you don't know how to do it. Much of our work here at docteam is using material that is already available | 12:28 |
| |rockinnerd| | ah. | 12:30 |
| |rockinnerd| | didn't think you were suggesting though. thanks for the heads-up. | 12:30 |
| |rockinnerd| | well, ive g2g for now. | 12:31 |

| Burgundavia | hello again | 01:51 |
| |rockinnerd| | :) | 01:54 |
| Burgundavia | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cedega | 02:27 |
| Burgundavia | rwabel, where does one get the .deb file? | 02:27 |
| HrdwrBoB | from the transgaming website | 02:29 |
| HrdwrBoB | transgaming.ocm | 02:29 |
| HrdwrBoB | com | 02:29 |
| Burgundavia | better make that explicit | 02:29 |
| Burgundavia | and make it clear that Cedega is non-free | 02:29 |
| HrdwrBoB | yeah | 02:29 |
| HrdwrBoB | done | 02:32 |
| Burgundavia | thanks | 02:32 |
| Burgundavia | have you ever done the cedega cvs install? | 02:32 |
| Burgundavia | a howto for that might be nice | 02:33 |
| HrdwrBoB | yeah I have | 02:33 |
| HrdwrBoB | not for some time though | 02:33 |
| Burgundavia | can you rough something out at CedegaCVS ? | 02:33 |
| HrdwrBoB | I'll see what I can rustle up | 02:34 |
| Burgundavia | cheers | 02:34 |
| HrdwrBoB | hm | 02:35 |
| HrdwrBoB | might just be better off linking to http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=45 | 02:36 |
| rwabel | Burgundavia: either through buying or trhough emule | 02:36 |
| rwabel | burgundavia: or torrent | 02:36 |
| Burgundavia | we cannot promote illegal methods | 02:36 |
| Burgundavia | but HrdwrBoB already fixed it up | 02:36 |
| rwabel | exactely, that's why I didn't put it | 02:36 |
| Burgundavia | but there was no mention of how to get it at all | 02:37 |
| Burgundavia | HrdwrBoB, sure, link to that | 02:37 |
| rwabel | will add that | 02:37 |
| rwabel | ah already done, thanks | 02:37 |
| rwabel | about cvs | 02:37 |
| HrdwrBoB | yeah I just added it | 02:37 |
| rwabel | I've seen some french howto, I could translate if it's needed. | 02:38 |
| rwabel | but I've never tried that one out | 02:38 |
| Burgundavia | excellent | 02:38 |
| HrdwrBoB | I followed the l-g.net instructions a while back - they seemed to work | 02:38 |
| HrdwrBoB | I've since bought it though | 02:38 |
| rwabel | shall I do the howto for cvs? | 02:38 |
| HrdwrBoB | if you like | 02:39 |
| rwabel | but there would be no guarantee if it's working...someone should maybe try it then | 02:39 |
| HrdwrBoB | I think it's a tad redundant in addition to the linux-gamers.net howto | 02:39 |
| rwabel | HrdwrBob: have you ever tried to play fifa2005 with cedega? All my games are terrible slow via cedega | 02:39 |
| Burgundavia | maybe port that howto to ours | 02:40 |
| HrdwrBoB | basically it would be a reformat and squish into a wiki | 02:40 |
| HrdwrBoB | since it's under GFDL | 02:40 |
| Burgundavia | our wiki is actually dual licensed, but anyway | 02:40 |
| Burgundavia | not a major deal | 02:40 |
| HrdwrBoB | rwabel: I've only played warcraft, wow, doom3, GTA:SA and far cry | 02:40 |
| Burgundavia | ubotu in #ubuntu now points to our wiki page | 02:40 |
| rwabel | doom3 via cedega? there is a native one, isn't it? how about speed? | 02:40 |
| HrdwrBoB | that was before native | 02:41 |
| rwabel | ok | 02:41 |
| rwabel | we could just put a link to the linux-gamers.net howto in the cedega howto. what do u think? | 02:41 |
| Burgundavia | already done | 02:42 |
| HrdwrBoB | yeah that's what I did | 02:42 |
| rwabel | good, thanks | 02:43 |
| rwabel | btw: are there any limitations? | 02:43 |
| rwabel | I mean in comparision to the subscription one? | 02:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | of CVS? | 02:43 |
| Burgundavia | gtg now, have fun and don't break the wiki | 02:43 |
| HrdwrBoB | yeah it doesn't have the functions which make copy protection work | 02:44 |
| HrdwrBoB | and is at least theoretically behind the released version | 02:44 |
| rwabel | you mean witht he onrmal cedega you don't need the no-cd "cracks"? | 02:44 |
| rwabel | mhh normally cvs is ahead releases :-) | 02:44 |
| HrdwrBoB | rwabel: sometimes you don't need the nocd cracks | 02:46 |
| rwabel | can I ask you sth about graphiccards | 02:47 |
| HrdwrBoB | yeah shoot | 02:47 |
| rwabel | I've a Nvidia 6600GT and get only about 5000 fps with glxgears | 02:47 |
| rwabel | and all games under cedega run terribl | 02:47 |
| rwabel | I don't know if it's the nvidia driver | 02:48 |
| rwabel | under windows, doom3 runs fine | 02:48 |
| rwabel | native games like ET runs also fine...but still think my fps are too low | 02:48 |
| HrdwrBoB | hmm not sure | 02:49 |

| rwabel | right | 01:43 |

| jsgotangco | for some reason, im beginning to like RHEL day by day (because of my current job) | 04:39 |
| kbrooks | jsgotangco: i agree that everyone is on crack | 04:40 |
| robitaille | I always like the old RHL, just before it turned to fedora; I'm guessimg it's similar. | 04:41 |
| jsgotangco | robitaille: RHEL is old fedora, much like how debian describes stable | 04:42 |
| robitaille | except for the price of RHEL :) | 04:42 |
| jsgotangco | at work, where i manage some oracle dbs, we still have rhel 2.1 which is basically rh 7.2 | 04:42 |

| mdke | all the other communities just did it | 04:57 |
| robitaille | at least the italian have a community and a wiki full of content... | 04:57 |
| === robitaille tries not to think of the canadian loco team too much | ||
| mdke | what happened to sabmoc | 04:58 |
| mdke | he was cool | 04:58 |
| jsgotangco | heck i don't even want to think of ours, i'm the only one who knows how to party | 04:58 |
| robitaille | mdke: he had some real-life-problems, so more or less just disapeared. Haven't seem him online in weeks | 04:59 |
| mdke | ah shame | 04:59 |
| robitaille | yes | 04:59 |
| jsgotangco | hmm he was enthusiastic about stuff before | 04:59 |
| robitaille | I expect he will be back one day. the problem had nothing to do with Ubuntu or computers | 04:59 |
| jsgotangco | this revu tool is really nice... | 05:02 |
| kbrooks | what is MOTU | 05:04 |
| jsgotangco | its the people who maintain Universe | 05:05 |
| jsgotangco | Masters Of The Universe | 05:05 |
| jsgotangco | heh | 05:05 |
| jsgotangco | and ogra's he-man | 05:05 |
| jsgotangco | wow using GAIM for IRC is nice and really colorful... | 05:16 |
| jsgotangco | unlike what im used to with ERC | 05:16 |
| kbrooks | xchat > gaim and erc on irc | 05:16 |
| jsgotangco | i rarely use xchat | 05:17 |
| jsgotangco | (rarely even use gnome lately) | 05:17 |
| kbrooks | i like gnome | 05:17 |
| jsgotangco | oh dont get me wrong i like it too...but im a keyboard person so... | 05:18 |
| robitaille | tried gaim for irc. Didn't like it. Liked xchat as well But Love irssi. | 05:19 |
| mdke | its all about irssi | 05:19 |
| Kinnison | irssi-text is good | 05:19 |
| kbrooks | i like irssi | 05:23 |
| kbrooks | but console is evil to me | 05:23 |
| kbrooks | i'm sort of a linux newb | 05:23 |
| jsgotangco | we all start somewhere | 05:23 |
| kbrooks | seriously :P | 05:24 |
| jsgotangco | i actually tried running mIRC before when i first started in rh | 05:24 |
| robitaille | console is good...the console is your friend always there for you. I have to reply to Corey's blog one of these days about the console. | 05:24 |
| jsgotangco | yeah | 05:24 |
| jsgotangco | i guess he didn't really get to use DOS back then | 05:24 |
| jsgotangco | heck we rule back then | 05:25 |
| robitaille | on a more on-topic thing, why is udu wiki staying as a separate wiki for so long? | 05:25 |
| jsgotangco | wordstar, lotus 123, dbase 3+ | 05:25 |
| robitaille | kids nowadays...they don't know anything but XWindows :) | 05:25 |
| jsgotangco | my cousin used to have a sinclair | 05:26 |
| jsgotangco | the thing only had like 6kb of memory | 05:26 |
| robitaille | my first computer was a commodore 64. But I had many dreams of having of a vic-20 like my cousin | 05:26 |
| jsgotangco | did you have a trs-80? man everyone i knew who had one can program one-liner games back then | 05:27 |
| robitaille | my dad had a trs-80 for works; so I couldn't really play with it. | 05:28 |
| jsgotangco | its so awesome i bugged my dad to buy me the portable version from tandy back then | 05:28 |
| robitaille | but we use to code small games for my Texas Instrument calculator. | 05:28 |
| jsgotangco | i still have it with me but it doesnt work anymore | 05:28 |
| jsgotangco | in RPN? | 05:29 |
| jsgotangco | i still have my HP 12C | 05:30 |
| robitaille | of course RPN. Used to drive my firends crazy since they couldn't borrow my calculator | 05:30 |
| jsgotangco | (actually its my dad's) | 05:30 |
| robitaille | normal people couldn't deal very well with rpn back then | 05:30 |
| jsgotangco | yeah but people who still do RPN now are one of a kind :) | 05:32 |
| === jsgotangco blames japanese calculators | ||
| robitaille | my wife still has a rpn calculator; actually it is the only working calculator in the house :) | 05:34 |
| kbrooks | rpn? | 05:34 |
| jsgotangco | robitaille: see? :) | 05:35 |
| jsgotangco | kbrooks: Reverse Polish Notation | 05:35 |
| robitaille | http://www.hpmuseum.org/rpn.htm | 05:38 |
| jsgotangco | museum...it makes me look so old.... | 05:38 |
| robitaille | we are old compared to some the kids in the Ubuntu community :) | 05:39 |
| jsgotangco | backports stuff | 05:44 |
| jsgotangco | bleahh | 05:44 |
| jsgotangco | afaic it should be well integrated into universe in the future | 05:44 |
| === mdke declares war on the word "official" and erases all Launchpad "teams" | ||
| jsgotangco | aye | 05:46 |
| kbrooks | lol. | 05:46 |
| kbrooks | so... i implictly have a rpn | 05:47 |
| jsgotangco | next thing we'll see there will be gang wars | 05:47 |
| kbrooks | calucator | 05:47 |
| robitaille | it was simpler when only main was "official"...anything else (universe, backports....kde...) was just unsupported and not to be named :) | 05:48 |
| jsgotangco | jiyuu0: do you work with backports on your guide? | 05:48 |
| mdke | jsgotangco, ermm.... | 05:49 |
| jsgotangco | robitaille: i won't be surprised if we'll have our very own marillat in the future | 05:49 |
| mdke | every voice in that guide advises the addition of backports | 05:49 |
| jsgotangco | is that so, sorry i only touch universe | 05:49 |
| robitaille | isn't what hoary-extra is? a marillat closer to ubuntu? | 05:50 |
| robitaille | personally I don't even use restricted or multiverse on my machines | 05:50 |
| === jsgotangco declares war as well with things official | ||
| mdke | jsgotangco, even the bit about how to install apache says "add backports" | 05:50 |
| jsgotangco | oh wow we're wild wild west then | 05:51 |
| kbrooks | jsgotangco: i agree with mako | 05:53 |
| kbrooks | talked too long | 05:53 |
| kbrooks | uh, never mind | 05:53 |
| kbrooks | /notice | 05:53 |
