| basicerly | fluvvell: well if the was know sudo lsmod | grep 8139 does that mean it wasn't set up? | 12:47 |

| [miles] | bimberi: Sorry for all the Q's, but this is my final one.... Does the dvd version contain all packages? As installing every boxes addiontal packages via web is not that appeling | 01:38 |
| CarlFK | and that will "help" a box that doesn't boot X cuz of config issues? | 01:38 |
| WolfPac_Ite | I think I know the problem, for whatever reason, the BIOS disabled the rest of the device channels. | 01:39 |
| fluvvell | I don't know whether its worth grizzling out loud, but grub should be included in the live distro of hoary!!! Its pretty useless as a rescue tool without it! | 01:39 |
| mjr | davro, not really a good idea, you get degradation, but there is an mp32ogg tool around if you really want to | 01:39 |
| davro | can convert to .wav using mpg123, for i in *.mp3; do mpg321 -v -w "`basename "$i" .mp3`".wav "$i"; done | 01:39 |
| mjr | (of course, you have to convert if you want an mp3 codec free system) | 01:39 |
| fluvvell | calling all breezy movers and shakers... PUT GRUB in the live distro package please!! | 01:39 |
| mjr | still, if you have the originals, reripping would be quite advisable | 01:40 |
| ompaul | [miles] , you could install from a single box mount the .debs directory and allow it across your local lan - then you have an update solution when you want to add more software or update stuff | 01:40 |

| NoUse | koneng those are usually source packages, which are usually not good for beginners | 02:15 |

| jfosa | like tar -xvvzf file.tar.gz /local/usr/something | 02:15 |

| DewDude | before ubuntu..i tried doing gentoo | 03:14 |
| ubuntu-asker | CarlFK, i have no problem to leave this kernel, but there is a lot of modules that i dont need and i have no sound | 03:14 |
| DewDude | then someone said if i had a ppc that ubuntu would give me best hardware support | 03:15 |
| nalioth | DewDude: your mac should be fully supported | 03:15 |
| nalioth | sockpuppe1: what did you need? | 03:15 |
| DewDude | the only thing that's buggy is video | 03:15 |
| DewDude | and that's only DRI | 03:15 |
| sockpuppe1 | you know whats funny? there is this distro which is just enlightenment dr17, but the whacky thing is that it automatically turns dma on if it is supported | 03:15 |

| setite | i think that might be the issue | 07:27 |
| brownie17 | Kemik: is there a default firewall in Ubuntu? | 07:27 |

| IceDC571 | setite, gnome or kde? | 07:27 |
| setite | brownie17, technically no | 07:28 |
| setite | IceDC571, both sorta.. i use kde but the same errors are in gnome | 07:28 |
| dabaR | budluva: It seems like you could avoid it if you were to su, which is disabled in ubuntu... | 07:28 |
| setite | brownie17, there are iptables which sorta act like a firewall... not a firewall but can give you shit on some apps | 07:28 |
| budluva | well i tried su and su - | 07:28 |
| budluva | both didnt work | 07:28 |
| dabaR | su downt work, at all, right? | 07:28 |
| brownie17 | setite: well i think i might have a hardware firewall in my adsl modem, but in my adsl modem config, there is no mention of a firewall | 07:28 |
| setite | you have to set a root password | 07:28 |
| budluva | no | 07:29 |
| budluva | su works for me | 07:29 |
| setite | sudo passwd root or some shit | 07:29 |
| setite | oh ok | 07:29 |
| setite | nvm | 07:29 |
| setite | brownie17, what is the disfunction | 07:29 |
| budluva | both su and su - work, but both dont read the $DISPLAY variable | 07:29 |
| budluva | i had this problem with wine too | 07:29 |
| setite | nice.. dont know wth that variable is | 07:29 |
| setite | im a noobie... all i can fix are the problems i've had already | 07:30 |
| setite | which as many as they are... arent much | 07:30 |
| brownie17 | setite: when i try to use Amule, it says i have a LowID, and it takes hours to download one small song, which with 256k should only really take 1-2 mins right? | 07:30 |
| dabaR | maybe try setting it up... DISPLAY=0.0 | 07:30 |
| budluva | i think its a variable for xserver's connection | 07:30 |
| IceDC571 | brownie17, a lowID means you most likely have a firewall running | 07:30 |
| IcemanV9 | set $DISPLAY=:0.0; export DISPLAY | 07:30 |
| dabaR | brownie17: use gtk-gnutella, works great here. | 07:30 |
| IcemanV9 | see if it works as root | 07:31 |
| brownie17 | iceDC571: yes, but how do i turn it off? how do i find out if it is hardware or software? | 07:31 |

| sickFLame | whatever :) | 07:34 |
| IceDC571 | yeah evening :) | 07:35 |
| furic | I used smeg, it killed the system menu's, even though its not supposed to be able to edit those. | 07:35 |
| IcemanV9 | furic: right-click on the gnome panel and select either "main menu" or "menu bar" | 07:35 |

| sickFLame | dabaR, aah yeah ! :) good thisMoment to u too :) | 07:35 |
| brownie17 | IceDC571: really? there was no real mention of that in the documentation, maybe you could find out how to just open some particular ports, instead of turning it off completely | 07:35 |
| furic | the first two submenu's, something like admin and settings, its not even showing their names, just blank, with no submenu | 07:36 |

| sickFLame | hey is there anyone using PPPoE via MS CHap v2 or CHAP on Ubuntu ??? | 07:36 |

| kemik | brownie17: Network Adress Translation | 07:37 |
| dabaR | heh, not really something I think is done at all. | 07:37 |
| dabaR | lets try this... | 07:37 |
| dabaR | !smeg | 07:37 |
| ubotu | rumour has it, smeg is a Simple Menu Editor for GNOME. Get it at http://www.realistanew.com/projects/smeg/ or from backports. | 07:37 |
| brownie17 | Kemik: yeah, but what does it do | 07:37 |
| IceDC571 | brownie17, try going to a console and typing ifconfig.. let me know what it says for your 'inet addr' | 07:38 |
| furic | It edits the ubuntu applications menu | 07:38 |
| furic | Ooop | 07:38 |
| kemik | "translates" external "internet" adresses to "internal" LAN-adresses | 07:38 |
| IceDC571 | that way i can see if your ip is internal or external | 07:38 |
| brownie17 | iceDC571: inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 | 07:38 |
| brownie17 | inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host | 07:38 |
| IceDC571 | do you have another one? | 07:39 |
| IceDC571 | for eth0 i suppose | 07:39 |
| brownie17 | ICEDC571: inet addr:10.1.1.8 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 | 07:39 |

| pepsi | ps does not take hours to execute | 08:31 |
| pussfeller | sometimes gnome teminal wont take input anymore, its a bug or a memory thing or something, at least it was, mabe its been fixed | 08:31 |
| furic | I'm just going to delete things randomly till this works | 08:32 |
| pepsi | maybe its something with sudo.. i cant use sudo at all | 08:32 |

| bob2 | figuring that out would be a good start | 08:32 |
| pepsi | k | 08:32 |
| pepsi | tried with xterm, same thing... will try more stuff | 08:32 |

| Gorgonzola | can anyone here recommend a good KVM switch (that supports USB, and audio too preferably)? | 08:57 |
| Determinist | bob2: over here it's either pppoe or pppoa, so yes, certain ISPs use ATM | 08:57 |
| HrdwrBoB | dlink-- | 08:57 |
| Gorgonzola | not a linux question but im sure people in here use them :) | 08:57 |
| nalioth | Gorgonzola: i'm using an iogear brand kvm with usb and audio | 08:57 |
| Determinist | bob2: and last i've checked, ppp = certain type of VPN | 08:57 |
| bob2 | ppp is just a transport | 08:57 |
| Gorgonzola | nalioth, what model and would you recommend it? | 08:57 |
| bob2 | it's no more a vpn than IP itself is, just because GRE exists | 08:57 |
| synd | Gorgonzola: belkin. | 08:57 |
| benplaut | !sudo timeout is <reply> to extend your timeout limit to whatever is allowed in /etc/sudoers, just type "sudo -v" and enter your password. To kill the timout period, try "sudo -k" | 08:58 |
| ubotu | benplaut: okay | 08:58 |
| Determinist | bob2: i dont think so. PPP is a protocol that enables you to create sessions with remote hosts, not really like IP. | 08:58 |
| Gorgonzola | synd, belkin has all the right features.... but i personally think they are horribyl ugly :) and an awkward shape... i'd like a box shaped one :P | 08:58 |
| nalioth | Gorgonzola: i have a two port model with usb and audio. are you in the western US? | 08:58 |
| bob2 | Determinist: so you consider dialup internet access to be a vpn, too? | 08:59 |
| benplaut | this is really odd... | 08:59 |
| Gorgonzola | nalioth, nah mate, im in australia | 08:59 |
| Determinist | bob2: most ISPs around here use PPTP/PPPoE over either ATM or IP lines, so yes , I would definately call that VPN | 08:59 |
| benplaut | i have 4 items on my sudoers list that shouldn't require a password, however, all but one of them still ask for a password | 08:59 |
| nalioth | Gorgonzola: i'm sure iogear brand is found there somewhere | 08:59 |
| brownie17 | gorgonzola: as am i! | 08:59 |
| Determinist | bob2: and no, that's not VPN, that's simply dialup. the difference lies in authentication | 09:00 |
| Determinist | bob2: and data encryption and a number of other factors | 09:00 |
| Gorgonzola | nalioth, yeh im sure i'll find them somewhere | 09:01 |

| cafuego | Carpe_Libertatem: (free ram is a waste) | 09:59 |

| aboe | thanks...and another question about support...can a local pc store get support for linux and ubuntu?? | 11:07 |
| ompaul | aboe, it is postfix and that is just easy | 11:07 |
| ompaul | aboe, they can come here | 11:07 |
| ompaul | or they can pay for support if they want | 11:08 |
| aboe | i'm surfing right now to postfix and reading it | 11:08 |
| fredrik_ | how does one solve the xorg missing fixed fonts problem in breezy? | 11:08 |
| ompaul | !support | 11:08 |
| ubotu | support is probably http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/ | 11:08 |
| aboe | thanks | 11:08 |
| aftertaf | shame pppoe isnt on the cdrom :/ | 11:08 |
| davro | there is plenty of commerical support out there for linux ... | 11:08 |

| joachimaa | carthik, ah thanks. I can't find the setting in vlc, though, do you happen to know where it is? | 11:09 |
| ompaul | good morning .se | 11:09 |
| ubunt | i was wondering. how long does it usually take for ubuntu to boot up? | 11:09 |
| ompaul | ubunt, that would be machine dependant | 11:09 |
| carthik | joachimaa, no clue dont use it myself :) | 11:10 |
| geneo93 | aftertaf: its not called that | 11:10 |
| [DF2] | can anyone send me pppoe.deb pls | 11:10 |
| ubunt | when im booting up the load up stops at *Starting Enterprise Volume Management System... | 11:10 |
| ubunt | and it takes around 15-20min | 11:10 |
| ubunt | then it will continue to load | 11:10 |
| aftertaf | geneo93: wazzit called ? | 11:10 |
| aboe | I know...but the store is still a little bit hesitant about linux...and support cause they don't have a working linux environment to learn from | 11:11 |

| stoeptegel | is it possible to convert a debian package to ubuntu? | 11:13 |
| ompaul | stoeptegel, which package | 11:13 |
| aboe | you can use ctrl+c to abort it in the boot up process I think | 11:13 |
| ompaul | stoeptegel, it is most likely available already | 11:13 |
| stoeptegel | ompaul: rtorrent | 11:13 |
| geneo93 | stoeptegel: more than likly its in the repos | 11:14 |
| ompaul | stoeptegel, I checked it does not seem to be available however there is --> bittorrent - Scatter-gather network file transfer | 11:14 |
| geneo93 | i use azuerus for bt | 11:14 |
| omp342 | i got wine working =o | 11:14 |
| stoeptegel | geneo93: nope not for i286 and neither for amd64 (as far as i can see) | 11:14 |
| robotgeek | i use the official bt client, ncurses version :) | 11:15 |
| ubunt | ctrl+c dont work | 11:15 |
| robotgeek | it's good for slow machines | 11:15 |
| aboe | ok.. | 11:15 |
| ompaul | stoeptegel, apt-get install bittornado <-- that might nice for curses - you can also get a bittorrent-gui | 11:15 |
| stoeptegel | geneo93: i386 off course, sry | 11:15 |
| anomaly | I figure I am going to just use my p300/256 to run winxp now, and put ubuntu on my amd64 :) | 11:15 |
| geneo93 | stoeptegel: get the source and roll your own | 11:16 |
| stoeptegel | ompaul: that gives me bittornado 0.3.8 and that version is widely banned for some reason(?) | 11:16 |
| ompaul | stoeptegel, no idea I am just searching for stuff in repos | 11:17 |
| Georgiepoo | Certain versions of bittornado are banned because they can be used to artifically inflate your upload to download ratio | 11:17 |

| aftertaf | try eBay | 03:10 |
| lunitik | Zeaposs: Ubuntu isn't the distro for you/that computer... its a desktop distro, and installs a basic desktop without asking really... maybe try damnsmall linux or simular? | 03:11 |
| lunitik | Zeaposs: damnsmall linux is a debian distro, simular to ubuntu, however, it is more suited to your configuration | 03:11 |

| lunitik | brenner: not by default at least... | 03:13 |
| lunitik | Zeaposs: might do if the http server is for local domain... | 03:13 |
| lunitik | Zeaposs: try mainstream Debian, or Damnsmall Linux though. | 03:14 |
| Zeaposs | ok, thanks | 03:14 |

| !lilo:*! Hint: due to spambot problems, freenode is currently blocking private messages from unregistered users. But if you register with NickServ and use "/msg nickserv set unfiltered on", you can get those messages. | 03:18 | |

| thesaltydog | lunitik, yes the installation is good and all gnome is localized. Programs are working, but starting from terminal I got those messages | 03:18 |

| mjr | lassesandberg, did you restart X or just logout/login? | 06:14 |
| Nalioth | LazykEY: there is no pwd | 06:14 |
| LazykEY | but it says there is | 06:14 |
| LazykEY | I can't get away from the lock screen | 06:14 |
| lassesandberg | logged out and in, should i restart? | 06:14 |
| dabaR | LazykEY: you can always restart X I think. | 06:15 |
| sedeki | lassesandberg press ctrl+alt+backspace and you'll restart | 06:15 |
| lassesandberg | ok, i'll try that now | 06:15 |
| mjr | lassesandberg, ...yeah, what sedeki said | 06:15 |
| brenner | LazykEY: tried just pressing enter? i.e. no pswd | 06:15 |
| LazykEY | I can't even press a key, the whole screen is locked, it needs a password | 06:15 |
| LazykEY | yepp | 06:15 |
| unvs | there was a rather elegant way of switching out hoary with breezy in the sources.list, anyone remember? :) | 06:16 |
| dabaR | tried ubuntu?:) | 06:16 |
| LazykEY | it says Login Cancelled when I don't type anything in, and press Enter | 06:16 |
| LazykEY | and the screensaver continues | 06:16 |
| dabaR | !upgrade2breezy | 06:17 |
| ubotu | rumour has it, upgrade2breezy is sudo sed -e 's/hoary/breezy/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, or if and when it breaks your computer, you get to keep both pieces | 06:17 |
| dabaR | dont do it. | 06:17 |
| Nalioth | unvs: breezy now is still not ready for production machines | 06:17 |
| LazykEY | someone knows how to fix my problem? | 06:17 |
| Nalioth | LazykEY: ctrl-alt-backspace didnt work? | 06:18 |
| Paradoxx | LazykEY: just restart...unless you were doing somthing of great importace | 06:18 |
| unvs | no, just wanted to upgrade libc from the breezy repositories | 06:18 |
| Nalioth | unvs: you've read the warnings, you have the factoid from ubotu | 06:19 |
| LazykEY | Nalioth: thanks, that looked to help | 06:19 |
| dabaR | nono, Nalioth he just ones one package... | 06:19 |
| brenner | how exactly do you post a screenshot to a pastebin? :-/ | 06:19 |
| dabaR | sudo sed -e 's/hoary/breezy/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:19 |
| brenner | (reading off the 'pastebin' trigger) | 06:19 |
| dabaR | that will replace hoary with breezy. | 06:19 |
| Nalioth | dabaR: his "one package" will break hoary | 06:19 |

| ramah | or is it program to program? | 07:13 |

| ompaul | vices, or better still keep a list of every thing you change so we can't go 'told ya so :)' | 07:21 |

| dducko | Thanks for the Audio fix, I had tried it before but had issues doing it, worked fine this time | 07:52 |
| bloodnik | But he assumes we have the Windows drivers already | 07:52 |
| davro | bur[n] er: Cheers will look into setting up the X rather than keeping gnome for the font setup. | 07:52 |
| LaserLine | apokryphos ok... How do I know if it really is /dev/cdrom0 or /dev/hdb ? will it give me an error or something? | 07:52 |
| bloodnik | so can anyone tell me where to get the windows drivers *from*? | 07:52 |
| Paradoxx | NoUse: thats what i was thinking, but the wiki said so... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EclipseIDE | 07:53 |

| apokryphos | LaserLine: I don't know what you're doing, but probably. | 07:53 |

| apokryphos | NoelCower: oh, right; I think it probably is, yes. | 08:08 |
| Nalioth | lightsaber777: when the time comes, apt can easily upgrade you (this is not windows where a reinstall takes place every time you take a deep breath) | 08:09 |
| NoelCower | lightsaber777, my personal opinion is that ATI is a real pain in the arse to install drivers for (if you want new drivers, anyways, otherwise you can use apt-get to snag some older ones) | 08:09 |
| lightsaber777 | nouse - thanks, have you tried either of these? I had a lot of trouble with ati but nvidia worked great on debian sarge | 08:10 |

| bored2k | Nalioth, is it the same if I dist-upgrade from Hoary ? (with ubuntu-desktop installed) ? | 08:34 |
| Kyral | bored2k, swap out hoary for breezy in the sources.list | 08:34 |
| Nalioth | bloodnik: then check your /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure the deb-src lines are enabled | 08:34 |

| bored2k | Nalioth, oh I'm aware how much it can break, but what do you mean by "both pieces" ? | 08:35 |

| ompaul | ubuntulnx, you can upgrade to breezy in Oct if you want, or you can track it in its unstable mode as things change and the final version takes form and shape, this may break, but that is the chance you take following a development branch | 08:59 |

| hajiki | vbgunz, i think your best bet is to use it on a daily basis, ask a lot of questions in here, and maybe learn to use the man pages. | 10:49 |
| delire | djp: there's always a chance and only do this if you really want direct rendering. you don't need to reboot by the way, just exit X and restart. CTRL-ALT-BCKSPACE. | 10:49 |
