| moparfan90 | i just installed kde on ubuntu and now i cant login. help me!! | 12:46 |
| apokryphos | !gpg | 12:47 |
| ubotu | I guess gpg is at http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kf1.html#h2add | 12:47 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: it's the same user password | 12:47 |
| moparfan90 | i know. it sys login in and then some other stuff then brings me back to login screen | 12:48 |
| moparfan90 | i has the login screen. then i type my user name and password and it say loging in. then about 30 sec later it comes back to login screen. | 12:51 |
| moparfan90 | what do i do?? | 12:51 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: the GDM login screen? | 12:51 |
| moparfan90 | no kde | 12:51 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: can you still login to gnome? | 12:52 |
| moparfan90 | nope | 12:52 |
| moparfan90 | theres an opion but t wont let me | 12:52 |
| persnickety | moparfan90, did you download kubuntu-desktop? | 12:52 |
| apokryphos | you can't login to anything... | 12:52 |
| nikkia | moparfan90: try resetting the session type to KDE in the session menu | 12:52 |
| moparfan90 | yeah i did... sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 12:53 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: try switching back to GDM to see if it works then | 12:53 |
| nikkia | sometimes, very rarely, kdm gets confused and doesn't actually think the 'previous session' is anything real | 12:53 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: if it doesn't work for gnome as well though.. | 12:53 |
| moparfan90 | i have tried all the opion and the only way i can login is in console and thats no good for me | 12:53 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: hmmm | 12:54 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: switch to GDM | 12:54 |
| moparfan90 | i did still no work | 12:54 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: in console type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" -- switch there, then restart x | 12:54 |
| moparfan90 | oo | 12:54 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: you tried switching to GDM or not? | 12:54 |
| moparfan90 | i want to try kde... is there a better way to install then? | 12:54 |
| moparfan90 | yes i have! | 12:55 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: you can still login to KDE by doing that | 12:55 |
| moparfan90 | how? | 12:55 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: so you've done sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, are you sure? | 12:55 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: from GDM | 12:55 |
| moparfan90 | no not that | 12:55 |
| apokryphos | then you didn't try gdm, did you? | 12:55 |
| moparfan90 | no | 12:55 |
| apokryphos | unless you did startgdm or whatever it is | 12:55 |
| moparfan90 | i did change sessionnthin g | 12:56 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: try it, see if you have the same problem | 12:56 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: not session, this is the Login Manager | 12:56 |
| apokryphos | or "Display Manager" -- GDM: gnome display manager | 12:56 |
| moparfan90 | then how do i get to kde if i want to try it?? | 12:56 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: it's only the display manager... you can use it to switch session to KDE | 12:56 |
| moparfan90 | oo | 12:57 |
| apokryphos | you'll see once you do it | 12:57 |
| moparfan90 | what do i type exactly? | 12:57 |
| apokryphos | moparfan90: once you're in console, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 12:57 |
| apokryphos | then select "GDM" there | 12:57 |
| moparfan90 | ok | 12:58 |
| moparfan90 | bye | 12:58 |
| moparfan90 | have to restart | 12:58 |

| nikkia | lscd, its such a painful system | 01:21 |
| lscd | hmm... howso/why? | 01:21 |
| lscd | some of the numbering seems to have silently changed in the last while, which is a pain, but other than that? | 01:22 |
| nikkia | lscd, the fact that there is no way to make it rescan a device, the fact that the rules processing seems to be counter-intuitive, ie, lowest rule stops higher rules operating, etc | 01:22 |
| lscd | hm.. the rules processing order makes sense to me, but perhaps i've just been infected by linux for too long | 01:22 |
| nikkia | lscd: i've been using linux for 13 years, and it doesn't strike me as logical :P | 01:23 |
| lscd | not being able to rescan devices sounds annoying; i guess it's outside the scope of udevstart? | 01:23 |
| lscd | nikkia: sure, hence infected ;) | 01:23 |
| nikkia | the problem is, it tries to look like a SysV init script system, but isn't even remotely | 01:23 |
| lscd | yeah | 01:23 |
| lscd | i guess i'm just used to arbitrary processing rules | 01:24 |
| === lscd curses firewall scripts | ||
| nikkia | lscd: udevstart trashs the system here, it repopulates the ptys and every console/konsole/etc stops working | 01:24 |
| lscd | ahhh, it's been working for me, but i'm not on ubuntu (yet; i'm hoping to install it tonight, if i can get the silly box i want to do it on into decent enough shape early enough) | 01:25 |
| nikkia | i'm not on ubuntu *here* either | 01:25 |
| lscd | ah, what's here, and what udev version? | 01:25 |
| nikkia | here is a LFS system | 01:25 |
| lscd | ahhh | 01:25 |
| nikkia | and v063 | 01:26 |
| lscd | my 'here' is a gentoo system with udev-058 | 01:26 |
| nikkia | don't get me wrong, its better than /dev, and mildly better than devfs ... | 01:27 |
| lscd | yeah, agreed; but udevstart borking stuff sucks | 01:27 |
| nikkia | all it needs is something like udevinfo that actually *does* the rules rather than prints them | 01:28 |
| nikkia | erm, udevtest i mean | 01:28 |
| lscd | hmm | 01:28 |
| lscd | that would be cool | 01:28 |

| _moparfan90 | konversation | 01:36 |
| lscd | xchat, hands down | 01:36 |
| _moparfan90 | me too | 01:36 |
| lscd | kde irc sucks | 01:36 |
| _moparfan90 | yeah | 01:36 |
| _moparfan90 | using it now. and its look bad too | 01:36 |
| ralph1 | No way Konversation rulez | 01:37 |
| gdh | Konv is perfectly adequate :) | 01:37 |
| gdh | I can't think how xchat would be 'better' . | 01:37 |
| lscd | gdh: fair enough, it's adequate, and it has a lot of nice features | 01:37 |
| lscd | i just don't like it | 01:37 |
| gdh | (and I used it for months) | 01:37 |
| gdh | lscd: Is that not just human nature fearing change? | 01:37 |
| lscd | gdh: not really, no | 01:37 |
| _moparfan90 | i like change | 01:37 |
| lscd | i've used quite a lot of irc clients | 01:37 |
| lscd | beos had some nice ones | 01:37 |
| _moparfan90 | if its the same to long i change it to mess it up | 01:38 |

| moparfan90_ | whats a good way to make kde look cooler? | 01:39 |
| gdh | moparfan90_: Don't sully it with GTK apps :) | 01:40 |
| gdh | boy did you walk into that one. | 01:40 |
| moparfan90_ | why not | 01:40 |
| lscd | moparfan90_: well, there are themes and so forth; i like the original look with a few tweaks though, kde 3.2 on has been nice | 01:40 |
| lscd | moparfan90_: some people think they look inconsistant/ugly/etc; it doesn't really bother me | 01:40 |
| gdh | moparfan90_: the look-and-feel don't carry properly :) | 01:40 |
| brosio | thx | 01:41 |

| moparfan90_ | yeah!!! | 01:41 |
| lscd | control center -> appearances and themes -> theme manager | 01:41 |
| gdh | brosio: marillat is really for Debian, but it works for ubuntu,too. | 01:41 |
| gdh | brosio: the 'stable' stuff won't mean much in this case. | 01:42 |
| lscd | kde-look.org may be worth a glance if you want something like that, moparfan90_ | 01:42 |
| gdh | brosio: marillat really only carries the 'mostly free' packages | 01:42 |

| gdh | christian marillat is a debian developer, so he knows what he's doing. | 01:43 |

| moparfan90_ | ok thanks that did it. :0 | 01:49 |
| moparfan90_ | :) | 01:50 |
| lscd | np; i usually set that too | 01:50 |
| HopeSeekr | hello, I have a unique situation. I use KDE and thus really want to upgrade from Gentoo to the latest Kubuntu; however, my mother uses Gnome ... she can't learn KDE at all, and thus I want to also install ubuntu ... is it possible to install ubuntu-like gnome ontop of kubuntu? :-/ | 01:50 |
| gdh | HopeSeekr: Sure. | 01:50 |
| moparfan90_ | have ubuntu an then install kde | 01:51 |
| moparfan90_ | after | 01:51 |
| gdh | and better still you can easily select to have a KDE or GNOME session when you login | 01:51 |
| lscd | is there any reason not to install ubuntu, then use apt-get to get the kde bits as described on the kubuntu site? | 01:51 |
| moparfan90_ | its easy | 01:51 |
| HopeSeekr | lscd link? | 01:52 |
| HopeSeekr | this would actually be preferable | 01:52 |
| HopeSeekr | i would rather i end up w/ any unsupported failures than her | 01:52 |
| lscd | http://kubuntu.org/faq.php | 01:52 |
| HopeSeekr | a simple unexpected msg box is enough to totally derail her online experience :-/ | 01:52 |
| HopeSeekr | so i can just download the livecd and start from there | 01:53 |
| HopeSeekr | she needs it fast | 01:53 |
| lscd | HopeSeekr: if she's literate in the language you're using it in, and you can get her to be calm and read them, she should be able to deal with at least some (no offense intended, or anything) | 01:53 |
| lscd | HopeSeekr: afaik, but i'm at the same stage of using ubuntu as you are | 01:53 |
| HopeSeekr | nah, it's more a phobia...she sees error msg and goes, "O [mom v of shit] I frecked up his computer!!" and turns it off | 01:54 |
| HopeSeekr | thank you all | 01:55 |
| HopeSeekr | you are most kind :-) | 01:55 |
| lscd | HopeSeekr: yeah, hence the calmness bit; a lot of people, especially the age of mothers of people old enough to be on irc, are like that | 01:55 |
| lscd | my mom used to be, but she's gotten a bit better | 01:55 |
| lscd | sitting next to them and going through it slowly can help | 01:56 |
| lscd | just time and seeing that it's normal, while someone they're confident has some clue of what's going on (whether or not that's actually true ^-^) is around, and going through and explaining, if they're willing to listen, can do a lot | 01:57 |

| kalenedrael | but i have an athlon64 3200+ in this laptop | 03:20 |

| nmorse | I have 95 on a laptop like that. | 03:24 |
| nmorse | And it totally flies on it. | 03:24 |
| kalenedrael | i managed to make this laptop non-bootable after trying to modify the bios | 03:24 |

| nmorse | Then again, there's nothing on it because it has no network access. | 03:24 |

| fidget | really? I didn't know HP did that... | 03:24 |
| web250 | gdh: nope, it was a NEC actually | 03:24 |
| nmorse | And a whole distro on a floppy isn't easy. | 03:24 |
| gdh | web250: K =) | 03:25 |
| web250 | i didnt even know that NEC made laptops..heheh | 03:25 |
| kalenedrael | haha, like every company makes laptops now | 03:25 |
| nmorse | I think mine's an old Dell. | 03:25 |
| nmorse | And my new one's an eMachines. | 03:25 |

| nmorse | s/And/An/ | 03:26 |
| gdh | and really what is this laptop / notebook thing? all manufr.s refer to them as notebooks.. which is really a more appropriate name for a PDA... | 03:26 |
| === web250 slaps dell | ||
| nmorse | Their PowerEdge servers work fine for years. | 03:26 |
| kalenedrael | though i have one reason not to, which is that dell laptops do not have that gay restriction that HP, IBM and toshiba do | 03:26 |
| web250 | notebook is appropriate for a pad of paper maybe | 03:26 |
| nmorse | Everything else though is that it is crap. | 03:26 |
| ubuntu | IBM OpenPower rocks! | 03:27 |
| nmorse | That sentence made no sense. | 03:27 |
| kalenedrael | ibm openpower? | 03:27 |
| ubuntu | check it out | 03:27 |
| kalenedrael | well, what really pisses me off is that i bought a minipci wifi card and it won't work in this laptop | 03:27 |
| web250 | y not? | 03:27 |
| kalenedrael | refuses to start | 03:27 |
| nmorse | Is it just me or is the topic today especially large? | 03:27 |
| kalenedrael | says it's 'unsupported' | 03:27 |
| kalenedrael | bullshit, it will work fine if only the laptop will boot | 03:28 |
| web250 | nmorse: topic is regarding the KDE 3.4.2 release | 03:28 |
| web250 | thats why it is so big | 03:28 |
| kalenedrael | the bios is set to only allow certain cards | 03:28 |
| gdh | nmorse: I wonder how much work it would be to set up http://topic.irc.kubuntu.org/ ? | 03:28 |
| web250 | i hate that they need proprietary stuff...liek ram too | 03:28 |
| kalenedrael | and guess what? those certain cards are made by HP | 03:28 |
| nmorse | Dell proprietary RAM sucks. | 03:28 |
| kalenedrael | proprietary ram? | 03:28 |
| kalenedrael | yuck | 03:28 |
| nmorse | And SO-DIMMS normally aren't proprietary. | 03:28 |
| web250 | it needs to be "coded" from the manufacturer | 03:28 |
| kalenedrael | that's stupid | 03:29 |
| kalenedrael | don't buy a dell, then | 03:29 |
| web250 | so basically, instead of paying $40 for 512mb of regular stuff, you have to pay $60 for 512mb of "Dell" memory | 03:29 |
| nmorse | The ones in my Dell Poweredge just have the slots to keep you from putting it in wrong shifted slightly. | 03:29 |
| web250 | even if you buy it from Corsair/Kingston/etc...its more $$ | 03:29 |
| nmorse | $30 for 128MB for my Server. | 03:29 |
| gdh | I've seen HP's that cry if you install non-dell memory (BIOS cries about lack of support) but the machine still runs... | 03:29 |
| kalenedrael | non-dell memory? | 03:29 |
| nmorse | You physically can't install non-Dell memory in Dell servers much of the time. | 03:30 |
| web250 | BIOS can cry all it wants...like my backup PC which BIOS says Hdd is going to fail | 03:30 |
| gdh | andt he servers just tend to ship with ECC memory (a good thing! :) | 03:30 |
| nmorse | Without filing the RAM down at least. | 03:30 |

| kay | hello | 01:10 |
| jpatrick | hi | 01:10 |
| kay | Aapzak: Use wpasupplicant | 01:11 |
| kay | That is a user space implementation of encryption | 01:11 |
| kay | I use it with my Centrino and it is great. It knows most cards I believe... | 01:11 |
| kay | The driver itself need not know WPA and so on, wpasupplicant does | 01:12 |
| kay | Works on Linux, BSDs and possibly others | 01:12 |
| kay | I can also recommend ifplugd from universe | 01:12 |
| kay | It brings the interface up and down depending on link or not | 01:13 |
| kay | That means, no wireless -> no route attempt -> no timeout, immediate failure | 01:13 |
| Aapzak | that sounds good | 01:13 |
| kay | It works perfect | 01:13 |
| kay | I have LAN, USB network, WLAN and VLAN with it | 01:14 |
| kay | Of course, the VLAN is connected manually | 01:14 |
| Aapzak | thats a lot | 01:14 |
| kay | I plug in something and it is used. It even adds and removes DNS server | 01:14 |
| kay | Use resolveconf package for that | 01:14 |
| Aapzak | is it hard to config? | 01:15 |
| kay | I didn't find it so | 01:15 |
| kay | wpasupplicant has good docs and examples | 01:16 |
| kay | I have WPA with pass phrase, that was a few lines only | 01:16 |
| kay | For resolveconf you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces and read man interfaces | 01:16 |
| kay | So you know what to add to the interfaces | 01:16 |
| Aapzak | allright | 01:16 |
| kay | For ifplugd, all you need to do, is to not "auto eth0" e.g. | 01:17 |
| Aapzak | sounds like a reasonable solution | 01:17 |
| kay | And tell ifplugd to deal with it | 01:17 |
| kay | I find it perfect | 01:17 |
| kay | I believe, wpa supplicant can even connect to multiple WLANs | 01:17 |
| kay | I don't use that though so far, only at home | 01:17 |
| Aapzak | yeah, but my driver for acx 111 is not perfect, just a half hour ago my wifi hang | 01:17 |
| Aapzak | stupid linksys with acx111 | 01:18 |
| kay | For the desktop I checked before and bought one recommended by tuxhardware.de | 01:18 |
| === Minuo2 is now known as Minuo | ||
| kay | Oh, I had linksys too, which one do you have? | 01:18 |
| Aapzak | thats a texas instruments chip, they don't support anything but windows and do not coorporate with OSS driver dev-ers | 01:19 |
| kay | If you can get open mode to work, that will be good enough, provided wpa supplicant supports it | 01:19 |
| kay | I can check... wait | 01:19 |
| Aapzak | lemme check, its pcmcia anyway | 01:19 |

| kay | they have GPL driver | 01:27 |
| Aapzak | kewl | 01:27 |
| kay | Chipset | 01:27 |
| Aapzak | sitecom uses that | 01:28 |
| kay | I have it in my desktop, was cheap and has really free driver | 01:28 |
| kay | works on amd64 with no prob | 01:28 |
| kay | Their driver does WPA-PSK without help | 01:28 |
| Aapzak | and it supports everything you expect from wifi? | 01:28 |
| Aapzak | ok | 01:28 |
| kay | or, eh, the community version I use do | 01:28 |
| Aapzak | does it work with windows? :) | 01:29 |
| kay | There is a company driver and one on Sourceforge... | 01:29 |

| Aapzak | I'm working on it, | 01:30 |
| kay | And she expresses dismay when I booted Windows for gaming | 01:30 |
| Aapzak | but since we don't pay for windows anyway, she sees no reason for trying something else | 01:30 |
| Aapzak | lol | 01:30 |
| kay | I too, we now finally have our product on it migrated too | 01:30 |
| kay | I own a Win2000 still | 01:31 |
| Aapzak | ah, WinXP here, for gaming only | 01:31 |
| buz | Aapzak: explain here that you'll have more time for her if you dont need to constantly virus proof windows ;) | 01:31 |
| kay | And at work, I sometimes get interrupted and must boot my machine into Windows | 01:31 |
| Aapzak | lol | 01:31 |
| kay | So they can do some maintenance to an unused system | 01:31 |
| buz | mhh i dont even have a windows booting machine anymore | 01:32 |
| kay | Hell, they even upgraded to Office 2003 lately | 01:32 |
| buz | i have a partition on a drive with a very old win2k install but its not even connected to the ide cable ;) | 01:32 |
| Aapzak | a year ago we had sasser on our network, noone could work but me, everyone was outside in the sun, so it's nice to have Windows on your machine | 01:32 |
| kay | i like a game every few months | 01:32 |
| kay | then i boot more into it | 01:32 |
| kay | lol Aapzak | 01:32 |
| kay | The irony is, we are all developing Unix products | 01:33 |

| buz | qemu it aint | 01:34 |
| buz | winwoes ist job security for the it staff | 01:34 |
| kay | Well, Xen is a subset of it | 01:34 |
| buz | xen doesnt run win | 01:34 |
| kay | There is something, bochs | 01:34 |
| buz | qemu is too slow | 01:34 |
| buz | that one's even slower | 01:35 |
| buz | oh wait new qemu version | 01:35 |
| buz | maybe it'sfast enough now ;) | 01:35 |
| kay | Well... why do you need something for win, you said you had no bootable win? | 01:35 |
| buz | every once in a while i should look at stuff with IE | 01:35 |
| buz | i know i could hack around with wine but that's a pain | 01:35 |

| insanekane | needlz: System->Settings->Regional&Accessibility->Keyboard Layouts | 02:44 |
| needlz | thats with kde, right? | 02:44 |
| insanekane | yes | 02:44 |
| insanekane | needlz: with a console, you can do kcontrol, to get control centre | 02:44 |
| needlz | ah ok | 02:45 |
| needlz | thx | 02:45 |
| needlz | setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout de_CH -variant basic | 02:46 |
| needlz | :D | 02:46 |
| needlz | thank you, it worked | 02:46 |

| needlz | mh | 02:46 |
| needlz | and how can i do that? :) | 02:47 |
| insanekane | needlz: using setxkbmap | 02:47 |
| needlz | ive read something about x86conf or something like that | 02:47 |
| needlz | ah ok | 02:47 |
| insanekane | xkb -> XOrg keyboard system | 02:47 |
| nikkia | in /etc/X11/xorg.conf change/add the 'Option "XkbLayout" "..."' line | 02:47 |

| ubotu | needlz: I don't know | 02:48 |
| needlz | (k)ubuntu is a pretty nice distro | 02:49 |
| nikkia | de_CH apparently | 02:49 |
| nikkia | needlz: you might also need to change/add 'Option "XkbModel" "pc104"' but i think thats the default | 02:49 |
| needlz | i dont know which xkb model i have | 02:49 |
| needlz | :/ | 02:50 |
| nikkia | needlz: i don't think it matters, tbh | 02:50 |
| needlz | ive a thinkpad laptop | 02:50 |
| nikkia | i'm using a 105 key keyboard, and Xorg is set to 104 with no bad effects | 02:50 |
| needlz | but its working right now | 02:50 |
| nikkia | and all my keys work so ... | 02:50 |
| needlz | :) | 02:50 |
| nikkia | i think the real reason for the XkbModel is for non-PC layouts like ANSI/ASCII | 02:51 |
| needlz | do you have enlightenment? | 02:52 |
| nikkia | me? | 02:52 |
| needlz | yes | 02:52 |
| nikkia | no, i haven't used E since about E15 or so | 02:52 |

| nikkia | 1999ish, at a guess | 02:52 |
| nikkia | actually, thats not true | 02:53 |
| needlz | mh? | 02:53 |
| nikkia | i did run it about a year ago for a few minutes, to see if it offered anything better, but was instantly put off by the really badly designed virtual screen system | 02:53 |
| nikkia | that makes it near impossible to work the way i do | 02:53 |

| moparfan90 | ? | 03:25 |
| apokryphos | Nope. You will first have to add that source to your sources.list -- apt uses that to know where to check for packages. | 03:25 |
| moparfan90 | how do i open the source list? | 03:26 |
| apokryphos | It's located in /etc/apt -- you will need root permissions to edit it. So, alt+f2 -> kdesu kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:26 |
| apokryphos | Note that there are different lines there, each of which signifies a repository. The "#" serves to comment-out a line; so when you sudo apt-get update, it doesn't check those ones | 03:28 |

| === othernoob [~othernoob@84.162.220.87] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| nikkia | apokryphos: hopefully, they use a different definition of CDSL than the rest of the telecoms industry :P | 06:02 |
| nikkia | as CDSL is the version of DSL that is limited to 512Kbps | 06:02 |
| apokryphos | haha. Did you tell her? | 06:02 |
| nikkia | no | 06:02 |
| HopeSeekr | woohoo!!! I did it!!! | 06:03 |
| HopeSeekr | i integrated my p2p with apt-get!@ | 06:03 |
| HopeSeekr | *p2p program* | 06:03 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: as far as i know, rockwell stopped supporting CDSL about 5 years ago, so i really doubt they mean that | 06:03 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: sometimes they'll bring in terminology to try to confuse with it, and reaffirm their position of being experts :P | 06:03 |
| gdh | nikkia: I thought that was called rate-adaptive? | 06:03 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: also, afaik, none of the installed DSL equipment in the UK is CDSL anyway | 06:03 |
| HopeSeekr | so now you can download huge release files...like say, kde 3.4.2 ... via p2p w/ minimal fuss :o | 06:03 |
| nikkia | gdh, that's a different low-speed DSL solution | 06:03 |

| === jozean [~jozean@eu85-84-25-121.clientes.euskaltel.es] has joined #kubuntu | ||

| HopeSeekr | ed2k already has a URL schema so you just use sourced ed2k links instead of ftp or http links | 06:04 |
| apokryphos | HopeSeekr: is this for you to get packages of others? | 06:05 |
| HopeSeekr | and since files on ed2k are virtually exponentially more persistent than those transferred via bittorrent, it would make sense for distribs to actually utilize thier own private ed2k servers for handling all transfers | 06:05 |
| === ztonzy [~ztonzy@ztonzy.artist.blender] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| apokryphos | HopeSeekr: yup; would make more sense for more stress to be put on torrents. Ubuntu have been doing it a bit, which is cool. KDE hasn't really made any effort there | 06:06 |
| apokryphos | HopeSeekr: hopefully with the birth of a functional kget torrent-system we'll see a rise, there. | 06:06 |
| HopeSeekr | well for one thing, ed2k implicitly supports FTP and multiple streams at that...so you could give it 2, 3, hell 20 FTP mirrors and it would grab the file from all 20 at once | 06:06 |
| HopeSeekr | distributing bandwidth consumption on all 20 and giving user maximum throughput | 06:06 |
| nikkia | gdh, iirc, CDSL is limited to 32Kbps upload | 06:06 |
| gdh | ouch | 06:07 |
| apokryphos | HopeSeekr: the p2p search is limited to what, however? Packages? Music? | 06:07 |
| gdh | who/why is that even being used? | 06:07 |
| nikkia | gdh, it was designed for people > 5km from the switch | 06:07 |
| HopeSeekr | apokryphos? you can put any type of file on ed2k ... it just scales better with files over 9 mb | 06:07 |
| nikkia | gdh, with particularly bad copper | 06:07 |
| gdh | erk | 06:07 |
| nikkia | gdh, as i said, i don't think its ever been deployed in europe, so i really doubt that's what bulldog are giving me :P | 06:08 |

| apokryphos | It's possible, and makes sense. Annoying to have to download a whole CD if you find that you like the Live | 08:45 |

| OculusAquilae | or on many computers | 08:51 |
| apokryphos | OculusAquilae: sure, but (i) you shouldn't be installing your OS often, (ii) booting a liveCD really doesn't take *that* long | 08:52 |
| apokryphos | It easily saves time for the average user who would try the live and like it, then have to wait to download the install CD | 08:52 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: there is a downside tho | 08:52 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: no doubt, but the advantages seem to outweight those. | 08:53 |
| apokryphos | s/outweight/outweigh | 08:53 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: you can't include as many packages on a hybrid disk, unless you sort out some kind of auto-install when a user runs a package | 08:53 |
| apokryphos | Yes, it's made so that it apt-gets the stuff, I believe. | 08:53 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: but that harms the live-cd part :/ | 08:53 |
| apokryphos | Why? | 08:54 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: because it means the memory requirements are higher (gotta have a ramdisk) and the startup for apps is slower | 08:54 |
| nikkia | initial startup, that is | 08:54 |
| nikkia | and i suppose i should say 'a bigger ramdisk' as there is one there anyway... | 08:54 |
| apokryphos | Heh, yeah, got confused there. | 08:54 |
| apokryphos | Why does it have to be bigger, because it needs to apt-get stuff? :S | 08:55 |
| apokryphos | it'll apt-get straight to the HDD | 08:55 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: where else are you going to apt-get install TO ? | 08:55 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: then its not a live-cd | 08:55 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: it only apt-gets to the HDD when you select to install | 08:55 |

| nikkia | apokryphos: you're missing the point, if you auto-install apps to run them, on the live-cd part, then they've got to go somewhere | 08:56 |
| nikkia | if you have installed/uninstalled packages, as most live/install hybrids do now, your package selection has to be much smaller | 08:56 |
| nikkia | you can't have your cake and eat it, i'm afraid | 08:56 |

| _chris | I had problems with Ubuntu's Gnome on my Radeon 9000 Video Card, but Kubuntu(KDE) Is doing just fine, thanks guys. | 08:57 |
| apokryphos | Maybe I am, but I still can't see the weakness here. You have a Live-CD -- fine and dandy. You try it out, then you want to install it to the HDD, so you apt-get straight to it. Where's all the extra ramdisk that's required? | 08:58 |
| ztonzy | anyone know how to set colors back to default in Konversation ? | 08:58 |
| gdh | _chris: hah cool - there really should be /zero/ difference between the two , they share the same kernel + Xorg... | 08:58 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: because a live cd has *pre-installed* packages | 08:58 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: which is a problem because... | 08:58 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: so you're saying the install process is 'cp -a / /mnt' ? | 08:58 |
| _chris | Well, Gnome lags on startup and needs to be completely reinstalled but nobody can tell me how to reinstall it. | 08:58 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: imo, thats a bad idea with debian-style distros | 08:58 |
| _chris | So I downloaded kubuntu in the terminal. | 08:59 |

| nikkia | apokryphos: it tosses all chances of reconfigure'ing base packages without re-downloading the packages | 08:59 |
| _chris | I think the only thing now is some of the Gnome-Games won't load heh. | 08:59 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: yes, but I think such a thing evidently aims for the average user | 08:59 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: which, kind of makes the new 'install/live' hybrid useless for server installs | 09:00 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: who wouldn't, I should think, want to reconfigure their base packages. | 09:00 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: then you still need a 'pro' install disc | 09:00 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: it's worth checking out what MEPIS people think about this -- would you want to ask them? All my experience with them has been very pleasant (really) | 09:00 |
| === ztonzy waits... | ||
| nikkia | apokryphos: i wouldn't dispute the usefulness of a live-cd that can install a minimal system, but to have *one* disc that is install and live, is too problematic, IMO | 09:00 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: complete opposite to #debian | 09:00 |
| apokryphos | Should actually check their site to see that they don't have other install CDs | 09:01 |
| ztonzy | I was impressed by the speed of mepis as live cd... | 09:01 |
| ztonzy | very fast system | 09:01 |
| ztonzy | compared to other live cd's | 09:01 |

| apokryphos | Guess I'm really qualified to argue either position | 09:18 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: i'm not saying you need to *reinstall* however, carrying around all of the post-install scripts for all packages on a live-cd is a bit of an overhead | 09:18 |

| delltony | i told him let me see if i can get approved on a second morgage on my home | 11:44 |
| gdh | damn straight. 350 for an Office suite is a fuqn joke. | 11:44 |
| delltony | qemu i tried didn't like it | 11:45 |
| delltony | reason kept crashing | 11:46 |
| gdh | fair enough - sounds like the same experience as me | 11:46 |
| delltony | oh one thing that i like about vmware | 11:46 |
| gdh | tried win98, 2k and xp ISOs with it... never got a usable install. | 11:46 |
| delltony | not sure if you ever heard of paltalk | 11:46 |
| gdh | only as a name- no idea what it's about | 11:46 |
| delltony | but i use to have an account with them to watch the gals and all strip on webcam and all (you just pay for the bandwidth fee thats it) | 11:46 |
| delltony | well anyway since i ran it in a vmware it can't modify the registry and all that good stuff cause of the snapshots | 11:46 |
| gdh | ah, k. | 11:46 |
| delltony | so i just load it up and bam get it again i thought i couldn't but tried and low and behold i still can | 11:47 |
| delltony | haha | 11:47 |
| delltony | i don't know i'm a perv i guess but you have real women on cam willing to show hell yeah i'm gonna look | 11:47 |
| gdh | wow, humanity has certainly evolved again if Usenet isn't good enough now... | 11:48 |
| delltony | and i know they are real cause i have called a few and actually went and played "pleasure technician" with them | 11:48 |
| delltony | man usenet rocks once again | 11:48 |
| delltony | well with the aid of newzbin | 11:48 |
| gdh | I think you'r e in the wrong channel... :) | 11:48 |
| gdh | (yes, all hail to the nzb...) | 11:49 |
| delltony | yeah otherwise you would spend days just running a filter to get rid of crap | 11:49 |
| jpowers | hmm | 11:49 |
| jpowers | I don't have that problem | 11:49 |
| gdh | jpowers: You're married? :) | 11:50 |
| delltony | you don't have the problem of spam out the ying yang always wanting you to go see some gal that claims to be your neighbor | 11:50 |
| jpowers | I have that problem | 11:50 |
| jpowers | I'm not married | 11:50 |
| delltony | my girlfriends last name is jpeg | 11:51 |
| jpowers | I guess I just don't have a problem with crap on newsgroups | 11:51 |
| gdh | nuse for me provides interesting software. as far as porn goes... well... there's only so many times you can see the same stick going into a hole... it gets a bit boring... | 11:51 |
| jpowers | Most of the places I go on usenet are pretty crap-free | 11:51 |
| delltony | well speaking of sex that poses a quote i came up with | 11:52 |
| delltony | programming is like sex, make one mistake and your supporting it for years | 11:52 |
| jpowers | gdh: I think the lesson is...look at a different stick sometimes... change it up a little. | 11:52 |
| jpowers | heh | 11:52 |
| jpowers | ouch | 11:52 |

| QMario | I am using KUbuntu right now, but the color on my screen is skewed. | 12:07 |
| _StarScream | QMario: what chipset does it use? | 12:08 |
| QMario | I am also using that particular video card. | 12:08 |

| gdh | QMario: the answer to 'what chipset' will invariably be 'ati' or 'nvidia' ... | 12:09 |
| _StarScream | gdh: not true | 12:09 |
| gdh | no? | 12:09 |
| _StarScream | gdh: volari is a chipset | 12:09 |
| gdh | it is? | 12:09 |
| gdh | wow :) | 12:09 |
| _StarScream | gdh: also there are lots of other cards, matrox etc.. | 12:09 |
| _StarScream | sis | 12:10 |
| gdh | My gfx is provided by a matrox mystique 220.... | 12:10 |
| gdh | that should give you an idea of how close attention I pay to vga cards... | 12:10 |
| QMario | So you are saying that this video card will not work in Linux? | 12:12 |
