| kgnally | One question: Where/how do I check the disk space available in Unbuntu while in X? | 01:03 |
| cafuego | Razor-X: That's true. it just happens to have all the same holes as the rest of windows, which DOES get targeted ;-) | 01:03 |

| Razor-X | but, you can always try using debootstrap and doing something | 01:05 |
| cafuego | firemanworld: That way yopu'll get the latest. Once downloaded, you can run 'make-jpkg j2dsk.....bin', which will create a .deb for you. | 01:05 |

| doudou | right click and save link as? | 01:17 |
| russ_ | its /dev/hda1 | 01:18 |
| eth42 | Mandrake setup tools are not Gnome-HIG compliant, I'd say | 01:18 |

| russ_ | mandrake runs on gnome and kde | 01:18 |
| Razor-X | most of the FSs that Linux uses don't fragment easily | 01:18 |
| elsha | okies, thanks :) | 01:18 |
| spudse | which pcmia wifi card is known to work with ubuntu ? | 01:18 |
| apokryphos | Mandriva is still pretty decent. The idea that it's "only for n00bs" is seriously unwarranted; some seriously knowledgable users there | 01:18 |
| xeiro | Razor-X: how come? | 01:18 |
| eth42 | russ_: but gnome is always too old | 01:19 |
| xeiro | whats the logics behind not needing to | 01:19 |
| xeiro | ? | 01:19 |
| funkyHat | russ_, ( look up ^ ) and replace /mnt/c with wherever you want to mount the partition | 01:19 |
| Razor-X | and the minor fragmentation is easily curbed by a periodic fsck (when your periodic tune2fs starts) | 01:19 |
| Razor-X | xeiro: that's just the way it is | 01:19 |
| Razor-X | I obviously don't know the code behind the FSs, else I think i'ld have a nice certification | 01:19 |
| Razor-X | ;) | 01:19 |
| xeiro | Razor-X: I see ... so its all in the filesystem eh | 01:19 |
| eth42 | apokryphos: I think it's not bad but still I had some problems, and nobody cared about the bug reports in bugzilla.... | 01:19 |
| russ_ | root@S010600105a9e1971:/etc # cd fstab | 01:19 |
| russ_ | bash: cd: fstab: Not a directory | 01:19 |
| Razor-X | xeiro: pretty much | 01:20 |
| elsha | so, i'd be correct in saying that the default kernel in ubuntu can read ntfs, but can not write? | 01:20 |
| russ_ | should i edit fstab with a text editor? | 01:20 |
| Razor-X | russ_: fstab isn't a directory ;) | 01:20 |

| eth42 | russ_: sudo gedit fstab | 01:20 |
| Razor-X | russ_: /etc/fstab is a file | 01:20 |
| funkyHat | russ_, you will also need to sudo mkdir /mnt/c, and change permissions/ownerships if you want them to be different to defaults | 01:20 |

| cs378 | im movin to windwos | 01:23 |

| eth42 | russ_: mkdir <dir>; I'd advice you to read the basics chapter of RUTE | 01:23 |
| funkyHat | russ_, what else have you put on the line with /dev/hda1 /mnt/Drive1 ? | 01:23 |
| apokryphos | adam_: not without you mentioning it | 01:23 |
| Kovecses | cs378, whats the problem | 01:23 |

| apokryphos | cs378: like what? | 01:24 |
| cs378 | like gaim | 01:24 |
| xeiro | windows is easy configuring :D | 01:24 |
| Razor-X | russ_: chmod +r is add read, +x is add execute, and +w is add write | 01:24 |
| funkyHat | russ_, you need to specify the type (vfat), and other options, and put two 0s at the end of the line (follow the layout of the rest of the file) | 01:24 |
| cs378 | i need gcc, cc, cl, gawk | 01:24 |

| xzyt | anyone know what daemon i need to use to get a telnet session working to my box? | 01:47 |
| IIIEars | Hi josiah_ | 01:47 |
| Razor-X | xzyt: telnetd, if i'm not mistaken | 01:47 |
| HrdwrBoB | xzyt: why do you want telnet | 01:47 |
| xzyt | lol | 01:48 |
| eth42 | xzyt: wouldn't use telnet but an ssh server | 01:48 |
| HrdwrBoB | xzyt: it's extremely not recommended | 01:48 |
| xzyt | for a windows computer at my work to let me login remotly at home | 01:48 |
| Razor-X | yeah, ssh is much better than telnet | 01:48 |
| josiah_ | I'm wondering if anybody knows how to save the current state of my networking (in the networking Administration panel) so that next time I boot, my networking works the way it did last time | 01:48 |
| HrdwrBoB | xzyt: yeah, use ssh | 01:48 |
| Razor-X | xzyt: telnet is horribly insecure | 01:48 |
| eth42 | xzyt: there are also ssh clients for windoze | 01:48 |
| HrdwrBoB | xzyt: with putty | 01:48 |
| josiah_ | Just use an SSH client like putty | 01:48 |
| IIIEars | telnet sends passwords in clear text (un encrypted) | 01:48 |
| xzyt | yeah i use putty | 01:48 |
| Razor-X | Putty is incredibly for SSH | 01:48 |
| xeiro | eth42: only line with eth0 in that file is one that says "map eth0" | 01:48 |
| josiah_ | and openssh-server is the package for ubuntu | 01:48 |
| Razor-X | IIIEars: yeah, as does IRC, if i'm not mistaken ;) | 01:48 |
| xzyt | openssh-server ok | 01:48 |
| HrdwrBoB | IIIEars: it sends EVERYTHING in clear text | 01:48 |
| IIIEars | openssh - is amazingly powerful. | 01:48 |
| eth42 | xeiro: mhh, yeah, thats the same with me, and below something with script grep, or so... | 01:49 |
| LasseL | is mod_perl default on in ubuntu's apache2 package? | 01:49 |
| xeiro | nope .. nothing below | 01:49 |
| IIIEars | Really? - sounds like fun - for the hacker - lol | 01:49 |
| Razor-X | IIIEars: you didn't know that? | 01:49 |
| xeiro | but above is something about hotplugable | 01:49 |
| Razor-X | same reason you can use a telnet session to IRC | 01:49 |
| eth42 | xeiro: wait, and there is the line iface eth0 inet dhcp | 01:49 |
| josiah_ | Nobody knows about saving the state of networking? I mean, I could go look through the scripts.... but I don't want to :) | 01:49 |
| xzyt | i see | 01:49 |
| IIIEars | been using openssh - skipped the telnet era entirely | 01:49 |
| xzyt | openssh it is | 01:49 |
| Razor-X | all your IRC client is, is a way to streamline the sending and receiving of raw IRC text | 01:49 |

| Razor-X | IIIEars: so did I, after all | 01:49 |
| xzyt | any way to get windows to display x? | 01:49 |
| josiah_ | Yeah, shouldn't that line get changed by the Networking control panel? I would think..... | 01:50 |
| Razor-X | I just no my networking history ;) | 01:50 |
| xzyt | or vise versa... see windows on linux? a remoted desktop that doesn't require XPpro? | 01:50 |
| josiah_ | Yeah, you can get Windows to display X - you just have to get an X server for windows. There are a bunch of commercial ones, and probably some free ones too | 01:50 |
| Razor-X | josiah_: where from you hail? | 01:50 |
| mrd` | You can telnet to a SMTP, HTTP, or IMAP server too. | 01:50 |
| eth42 | xeiro: put it there, that's it (probably) | 01:50 |
| mrd` | Or any text based protocol. | 01:50 |
| eth42 | xeiro: (not really knowing what I'm talking about) | 01:50 |

| eth42 | xeiro: not between those mapping lines, though | 01:51 |

| HrdwrBoB | Razor-X: yeah it's a bitch | 01:51 |

| Razor-X | oh yeah, that's better! | 01:52 |

| jasoncohen | bob2, how is one supposed to go about resizing partitions? i tried doing it from the hoary live cd with no partitions mounted including swap on /dev/hda and it failed with some error about not understanding /dev/mapper/... | 05:03 |
| ryan_ | no, the machine that bridges the connection from the internet | 05:03 |

| cafuego | ryan_: it's a router, not a bridge. | 05:03 |
| scythe | can you ping the external interface, or just the internal | 05:03 |
| bob2 | it has a specific meaning in networking | 05:03 |
| ryan_ | cafuego, the machine that your referring to uses dows | 05:03 |

| bob2 | jasoncohen: does ext3 support shrinking? | 05:04 |
| revelater | bob2: right, can't it act like the normal internet email servers? | 05:04 |
| jasoncohen | bob2, gparted says it can create, grow, shrink and copy an ext3 partition | 05:04 |
| bob2 | jasoncohen: ok | 05:05 |
| jasoncohen | so long as it is unmounted | 05:05 |
| ryan_ | scythe, im not sure what that means | 05:05 |
| ryan_ | im a bit of a noob | 05:05 |
| kyncani | lucaz__: well, tarball versions is evil. Hope keeping warty won't bring you much more trouble than upgrading smoothly between ubuntu versions ... because you _will_ have to upgrade at some point. Be it hoary or breezy or the next version. | 05:05 |
| bob2 | jasoncohen: then logout, make a new user, set their homedir to /var/tmp/ or something, and login as them | 05:05 |
| bob2 | jasoncohen: then umount it and do whatever | 05:05 |
| jasoncohen | the problem on the hoary live cd had something to do with parted not understanding LVM most likely | 05:05 |
| lucaz__ | and how long does it takes?? | 05:05 |

| troy | I like edit.com ;) | 05:21 |
| Computer__Guru | nano is a clone of pine's pico, the best text editor ever made.. pine had some licensing issues, and a lot of people did not feel the need to install an entire email reader just to get its editor.. so they cloned it and called it nano :D | 05:21 |

| esac_ | hi, i have a wireless card. I have it set to DHCP. it doesn't seem to grab an ip address though (and no dns). if i set it up for static ip, it works. however the odd part is that when i have kcontrol open and on the network settings, it CAN grab an address and nameservers via DHCP .. any ideas ? | 05:41 |

| SG1 | mebaran151: thats it | 05:47 |
| mebaran151 | SGI, I dont see how they could still show it | 05:47 |

| efigyidol | kozlyk: or useradd Graham | 08:06 |
| deprave | ok this is a machine with low resources too, i don't need gaudy stuff | 08:06 |
| goldfish | deprave: wells its basically xmms just newer. | 08:06 |
| deprave | oh ok | 08:07 |
| goldfish | deprave: if u want a console based program get mp3blaster. | 08:07 |
| kozlyk | ok done | 08:07 |
| goldfish | very low on resources :) | 08:07 |
| efigyidol | deprave: xmms and beep media player (bmp) are very similar, beep is a little better in some ways, I don't know if there is much difference in the amount of resources used. | 08:07 |
| kozlyk | however the laptop has an uppercase, however the ubuntu it is forced lowercase. Is that a problem | 08:07 |
| efigyidol | both can be obtained through synaptic | 08:07 |
| rob^ | efigyidol, bmp is a fork of xmms with the gtk2 toolkit | 08:07 |
| deprave | synaptic is sort of like the fbsd ports system? | 08:08 |

| bluefoxicy | znh: not at all. Casually running as root leads to continuous vulnerability. It's the same as casually turning your antivirus program off because it stops you from running some programs it occasionally false-positives on. | 09:46 |

| Razor-X | root is only used for tasks explicitly not allowed to the user, and only in measured doses | 09:46 |
| bsoric | drew: when you use root, pull out the network cable from the back of your computer | 09:46 |
| bluefoxicy | znh: no but it gives a prime illustration. I know quite a few windows users get a firewall, then turn the fucker off and say "yes I have norton internet security so I'm safe" | 09:46 |

| Razor-X | that's my point | 09:49 |
| EdLin | ToRTuReD_X, yes, you need at least the root filesystem and a swap partition | 09:49 |
| znh | drew it's just this: there are allot programs made and build for ubuntu, if there's even one or more program that has bad meanings, you give it all permissions that's why we suggest you to login as a non-root user | 09:49 |

| f4phantom2500 | i dont know the exact type but its some kind of derivative of mp4 | 10:13 |
| fabbione | znh: ? | 10:13 |

| enyc_ | hrrm MpEG4-derivatives.. like XVid, divx, stuff.. usually work well under 'mplayer' / 'xine' | 10:13 |

| skalpel | why not? | 12:50 |

| nothingsometing | because virus's aren't trgeted tward lunix | 12:50 |

| nothingsometing | yes it does | 01:13 |
| cyberix | Unrar doesn't seem to work. | 01:13 |
| Hawkeye | thoreauputic: myes, but one should run sid, gentoo or rawhide then, and not a stable distribution like warty. You see what happens when they break binary compatibility by shipping newer packagas than the one the distro shipped with | 01:13 |
| cyberix | Neither the gnome archivemanager | 01:13 |
| Hawkeye | especially with such important packages like firefox, where a lot of applications (epiphany, galeon) link with. Either they update all packages at once, or they simply hold binary compatibility | 01:13 |

| bmonnens | nothingsometing, then goto /mnt/storage | 01:14 |

| Hawkeye | that's why I'm a bit upset about the breakage of epiphany (my prefered browser) due to the unforseen API breaking update of firefox. Such a thing is normal if you run sid or a state of the art gentoo system, but not when you've been using warty for almost a year without a hitch | 01:21 |

| Hawkeye | note that I *do* understand people that want to live on the edge on the package department. It can be fun if you have the time to work around bugs and quirks like that, but when one uses warty, it's supposed to stay the same system so you can be sure no apps break unexpectedly | 01:22 |

| thoreauputic | Hawkeye: hopefully that's what they will do | 01:24 |
| thoreauputic | since they updated the others... | 01:24 |
| === theine [~theine@c229044.adsl.hansenet.de] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| Hawkeye | the problem is: the version of epiphany shipped with warty is 1.4.4. It probably won't compile agains firefox 1.0.6, necessitating an updated epiphany package (1.6.0 for example). That opens up yet another can of worms, as that may introduce new bugs, changed functionality, etc. This isn't something that should be done on a stable system | 01:25 |
| nothingsometing | you m/f not that it matters | 01:25 |
| Hawkeye | if you run a binary system that's guaranteed to stay binary compatible, updating to new packages to fix a security leak is a big no no | 01:26 |

| nothingsometing | nevermind .....it means male or female but like i said i don't need to know | 01:28 |
| Hawkeye | they should set their priorities straight: either you run a binary distribution that breaks sometimes and always offers the latest packages, or either you release a binary distribution that stays stable for it's lifetime. I was under the impression that warty was such a stable system, but suddenly, after almost a year, they start breaking random apps through their updates | 01:28 |

| lukus001 | i cant make or make install it sint there | 02:22 |
| jowi | shaun_, after you have a cross-over cable you should just need to give the computers good ip-addresses (like naming them 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2) so that they should be able to ping eachother | 02:22 |
| Subliminal | Seveas: :-/ | 02:22 |
| Seveas | Subliminal, it's way out of my capabilities at least | 02:23 |
| shaun_ | jowi: so if i use the comin cable that i use from my adsl modem to my networkcard it won't be crossover? | 02:23 |
| lukus001 | there a make file in the extracted folder "source" | 02:23 |
| Subliminal | Seveas: ok, thanks for having a look | 02:23 |

| nimra | is there some kind of replacement for VisualBasic? | 02:57 |
| thoreauputic | mfw: welcome to freedom ;) | 02:58 |

| thoreauputic | nimra: erm - not really but there are lots of good languages | 02:58 |
| sexcopter8000m | are there facilities equivalent to defrag and scanning for errors in windows? | 02:58 |
| nothingsometing | bimberi it was the web page you found about the mounting drives | 02:58 |
| bimberi | nothingsometing: unless you were previously connected as "gepp" | 02:58 |
| andy_ | not needed in ubuntu :d | 02:58 |
| mfw | Yeah, Im happy that I found Ubunut, thats just what I always wanted | 02:58 |
| bimberi | *geppy | 02:58 |
| andy_ | linux doesnt fragment | 02:58 |
| thoreauputic | nimra: VB is kinda MS restricted | 02:58 |
| sexcopter8000m | oh, cool | 02:59 |
| andy_ | you bet ;) | 02:59 |
| sexcopter8000m | begs the question, why does it fragment in windows? | 02:59 |
| nothingsometing | restarting the computer then 10 mins later it would dissapeer from che "computer" folder | 02:59 |
| thoreauputic | sexcopter8000m: bad design | 02:59 |
| sexcopter8000m | besides, isn't it more dependent on the filesystem rather than the os? | 02:59 |
| andy_ | because they use a totally other way of filesystem management | 02:59 |
| topyli | sexcopter8000m: ext2 fragments too, but it's not a problem | 03:00 |
| thoreauputic | sexcopter8000m: yes - linux filesystems are better | 03:00 |
| nimra | and if I have ubuntu installed aswell as windows, how does it boot? | 03:00 |
| sexcopter8000m | well i have a vfat partition, what about that? | 03:00 |
| mfw | Any ideas what software you should have installed on ubunut anyway? i updated all my things with synaptic from the universe.. | 03:00 |
| andy_ | by booting you get the choice | 03:00 |
| andy_ | if you installed win first that is | 03:00 |

| Earered | sexcopter, another solution, without too much command line, is to use a boot loader on its own partition (like GAG: http://gag.sourceforge.net/) and to have GRUB on the main linux partition.

These flaws are due to input validation and integer overflow errors in "lib/events.c" and "lib/libgadu.c", which could be exploited by attackers to crash a vulnerable application or compromise a vulnerable system.

| nothingsometing | just fucks up basicly | 03:28 |
| nothingsometing | and i recall someone telling me that totem was crap | 03:28 |
| skalpel | jonnnn: you could try logging out and then back in though, and see if that changes anything. no harm in that, if you dont mind hopping off irc =) | 03:28 |

| thoreauputic | godzirra: it should be one of the screensavers in xscreensaver | 04:38 |

| godzirra | are you compiling the kernel? | 04:40 |

| salil | hey.. people.... how can i install PERL.. which package is it..there're so many of them.. | 06:39 |
| Seveas | brian__, not that much, due to the nature of linux security | 06:39 |
| === beyond is now known as beyond-rango | ||
| Seveas | salil, it's installed by default | 06:39 |
| holycow | brian__, i have not heard of anyone ever finding a virus definition in the wild | 06:39 |
| brian__ | holycow , NICE | 06:39 |
| holycow | if anyone is going to get a virus its the lindows folks tho | 06:40 |
| dimitris | Well i was a windows user for a very long time. Now the only reason i log in windows is to play leisure suit larry and that because i was too lazy :-) to see if it works in cedega! | 06:40 |
| python | Is anyone taking advantage of LAMP on there Linux box | 06:40 |
| salil | well.. when i tried to install bluetooth support.. it said that perl was not installed.. !!! | 06:40 |
| Seveas | holycow, yeah | 06:40 |
| Seveas | lindows is crap | 06:40 |
| holycow | they run everything as root | 06:40 |

| holycow | dimitris, :) cool, the switch isn't always easy, sometimes it is, welcome :) | 06:40 |
| deFrysk | viruscanner might be handy for linux users wo forward files and mails to windows users | 06:40 |
| salil | "configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool" ----- i'm getting this message.. | 06:41 |
| salil | what does that mean..? | 06:41 |
| holycow | brian__, the key to 'ease of use' is actually having a properly engineered underpinning | 06:41 |
| brian__ | ahh | 06:41 |
| brian__ | I see | 06:41 |
| Seveas | salil, install libxml-parser-perl | 06:41 |
| brian__ | and common sense | 06:41 |

| Gourami | I installed libdvd with vlc but then installed mplayer afterwards | 07:18 |
| psychonate | Gourami, does mplayer crash when you try to play DVDs? | 07:18 |
| thoreauputic | levander`: it doesn't report that, it reports more | 07:19 |
| digitalfox|sleep | psychonate, it does for me | 07:19 |
| psychonate | Gourami, there is a bug that affects many it seems, where mplayer crashes when it encounters AC3 audio. That could be your problem as well. | 07:19 |
| levander` | is there any file in /proc that reports the kernel running so I can double check? Maybe I am running the new kernael, even though I know I haven't rebooted. | 07:19 |

| SG1 | Ziggity: when your feeling really mean you give it a killall -9 firefox-bin .. that force kills it | 08:48 |

| Ziggity | jowi, I tried [madman] 's killall firefox (without bin) and it reported no processes but with bin it worked? why?? | 08:48 |
