| happyponcho42 | ah ok | 01:43 |
| mint | so is this they way you install everything in linux | 01:43 |
| patrick_ | thanks Kyral | 01:43 |
| mint | from the terminal | 01:43 |
| Kyral | mint: not neccessarily | 01:43 |
| lysis | mint, you can install from synaptic | 01:43 |
| theSamo | is it okay to install(dpkg) a dapperdrake deb on breezy provided i have all the depsendencies | 01:43 |
| Kyral | but its how you do in Ubuntu | 01:43 |
| theSamo | ? | 01:43 |
| Kyral | theSamo: Be careful... | 01:43 |
| Kyral | Dapper is in Devel | 01:43 |

| happyponcho42 | Kyral, first look, thought you said Dapper is the Devil | 01:43 |
| tonyyarusso | theSamo, You can do it, but be prepared for whatever might happen if you do. | 01:43 |
| happyponcho42 | anyone running Dapper right now? | 01:44 |

| quacker | theSamo, there is no reason it shouldn't work, if like you said, you have all the dependencies. I'd install libs using a pkg mgr though to avoid the chance of conflicts or unwanted upgrades. | 01:45 |
| happyponcho42 | patrick_, install using synaptic | 01:45 |
| oceandead | see if i can find it for ya | 01:45 |
| happyponcho42 | patrick_, enable universal and non-free repositories | 01:45 |
| keverets | Inserting it causes it to be mounted immediately, and then gnomebaker and k3b can't erase it. | 01:45 |
| patrick_ | what is synaptic? | 01:45 |
| tonyyarusso | theSamo, Well, the worst case scenario is always that everything borks, your processor fries, melting through your hard disk and motherboard, and you end up with a really expensive paperweight. What's the likely wcs? I don't know; haven't tried Dapper. | 01:45 |

| dabaR | mint: you are installing a fluxbox theme onto gnome, I told you before actually. | 03:37 |
| NNY | anto9us: do you possibly have a spare box that you could boot up and help me through the setup screens of this? | 03:37 |
| anto9us | NNY, I'm just pointing out the requirements and the order in which to do things | 03:37 |
| mint | dabar: i am 100% new | 03:37 |
| NNY | anto9us: i know thats asking alot =/ | 03:37 |
| anto9us | NNY, not here, only have my laptop | 03:37 |
| Azunai | but the problem is im following a tuturial and it says do sudo module-assistant build,install fglrx-kernel but i get a nice box up saying it cant find the kernel then it offers me some sort of download i think which fails ? | 03:37 |
| Azunai | so i dont know what to do | 03:37 |
| mint | does tha mean it just is not going to work | 03:37 |
| dabaR | mint: not that I notices. | 03:37 |
| pablo928 | Kyral-when I do that it says that that is not supported. | 03:37 |
| brenner | mint: how are you trying to install it? | 03:37 |
| dabaR | s/s/d/ | 03:37 |
| fuel | anyone? | 03:37 |
| mint | i used the install option | 03:37 |
| mint | that didnt work | 03:37 |
| fuel | good terminal? | 03:37 |
| mint | then i just used terminal to copy the Dir | 03:38 |
| mint | to /usr/share/themes | 03:38 |
| brenner | fuel: gnome-terminal works fine for me | 03:38 |
| bimberi | fuel: gnome-terminal works for me | 03:38 |
| dabaR | mint: that theme is not for your windows, in essence. | 03:38 |
| mint | gotcha | 03:38 |
| bimberi | brenner: :) | 03:38 |
| johndarkhorse | fuel: there are dozens of terminals, each with good and bad | 03:38 |
| brenner | bimberi: heh | 03:38 |
| anto9us | NNY, I've given the information you need, you shouldn't need much else, first create partitions then the raid and set mount points, swap will automatically set its mount point | 03:38 |

| Razor-X | sexualpotatoes: the theory behind mount is this, the physical interface to the device resides in /dev/, for example, my Windows NTFS partition is /dev/hda1, yours is different (/dev/hda2 maybe?), mount takes the files from the physical interface and then puts them into a directory on your HDD. The directory I mount it to is /mnt/windows. In order to make sure the mountpoint exists, I simply did ``sudo mkdir /mnt/windows'', becau | 03:54 |

| yigal-epw | oh what ever you mounted it as | 04:39 |
| danno | jbzz: thanks how can I change the permissions for the mounted floppy so I can have a user write to it like a normal linux distribution does? | 04:39 |

| regeya | seriously people, just ask the question, don't probe people first for vague information then get more specific as you finally find someone who knows. this is the sort of b.s. I deal with when I work; people *will not* be direct and to the point. it's annoying, counterproductive, and wastes both your and my time. | 05:37 |

| jbzz | danno: Are you still around? | 05:39 |
| slavik | tonyyarusso: have you tried editing the config file in the proper location, beside that ... no clue | 05:39 |
| gnudreamer | you can always have a dual boot system so your operating system can do everything..but without end-users like us linux will never compete with the devil | 05:39 |
| slavik | IMO, Ubuntu needs to do something with the menus ... | 05:39 |
| slavik | gnudreamer: who's the devil? | 05:39 |

| tonyyarusso | galgoz, I've heard wine will run that. Ever tried it? | 05:40 |
| gnudreamer | i hear that synfig studio is as good as macromedia | 05:40 |
| slavik | tonyyarusso: maybe the symbolic link would be different? I honestly don't know hwo to help you | 05:40 |
| Azunai | rjordan, sorry mate but i have no idea what u mean as im new to linux and the contecnt of xorg.conf is huge | 05:40 |
| gnudreamer | I cant get that installed like many tar's the manual dont explain how to install | 05:40 |
| galgoz | tony: i tried crossover and it doesn't support it | 05:40 |
| patrick_ | johnnybezak, is there an alternate driver I can point teamspeak to? | 05:40 |
| galgoz | tony: you have to go back a few versions | 05:40 |
| tonyyarusso | slavik, That's a good suggestion anyway. I can search around. | 05:40 |
| SEJeff | slavik, windows xp can not "mount zip files as partitions" | 05:40 |
| regeya | slavik, winxp doesn't mount them, it's done elsewhere. kde's konqueror can also use ioslaves to trick you into believing it can 'mount' zipfiles | 05:40 |

| cafuego | anarkissed: Most MCSEs are neither engineers nor experts, so i don't think the interpretation matters. | 05:56 |
| holy_cow | Azunai, its always interesting to watch people make such comments and be totally unaware of the simple fact that using someting for 15 years seems like 'sself explanatory' | 05:56 |
| Azunai | holy_cow, im 21 lol not had that much training but it really is self explanitory it tells you everything u need to know | 05:56 |
| holy_cow | Azunai, sorry dude, wrong | 05:56 |

| anarkissed | cafuego, that's just what m$ has named the degree for mcse so take it up with them | 05:56 |
| Azunai | holy_cow, thats just my opinion but i really think it does i mean whats not self explanitory? | 05:56 |
| holy_cow | Azunai, write a gui for all the command stuff in linux and that will seem 'self explanatory' as well | 05:56 |
| phiber_optic | i dont know I very new to linux | 05:56 |
| slavik | also, is there a way to run ethereal in a "live mode" ? | 05:56 |
| draconius | slavik: yes | 05:57 |

| slavik | phiber_optic: in the options? | 05:57 |
| holy_cow | Azunai, it has to do with 'persistence of belief' once you come to a conclusion about something you will hold on to it no matter what anyone says. thus i am not trying to change your mind, simply illustrate an alternative possiblity for WHY you have those beliefs :) | 05:57 |
| Azunai | rjordan, there are so many distro's and commands etc | 05:57 |
| tritium | tonyyarusso, with that very option (--reinstall) | 05:57 |
| holy_cow | but go ahead, believe that windows is self explanatory all you want | 05:57 |
| phiber_optic | What options? | 05:57 |
| draconius | slavik: when you setup a capture, have the option set that says 'update list of packets in real time" | 05:58 |
| rjordan | Azunai, I started with OpenBSD. Now I use FreeBSD for my home server and Gentoo linux and ubuntu linux. | 05:58 |
| slavik | draconius: thanks. | 05:58 |

| Azunai | holy_cow, as i said its just my opinion because i was trained on it so i have become acustom to it but i may be wrong | 05:58 |
| galgoz | slavik: it is set as default "firefox %s" is in the box just like the doc you had me read says but clicking on a link still does nothing | 05:58 |
| slavik | draconius: another ethereal question, can it track which process/binary is sending/receiving packets? | 05:58 |

| Azunai | tritium, no its a .run file as far as im aware | 06:01 |
| tonyyarusso | tritium, I thought the repos one wasn't working, only to later find out that it was the program I was testing it with, and now I'm a little suspicious about another problem, since it's the only thing I changed. | 06:02 |
| rjordan | Azunai, that would defeat the purpose of the task. the idea is to gain the experience of doing it. sometimes multiple times. | 06:02 |

| holy_cow | eli, before you can change resolution, you haveto have the proper refresh rates in your /ect/X11/xorg.conf file. look up your monitore on the net for vertical and horizonal refresh rates, and google xorg.conf to know where to put them in. after that restart x and you will be able to change reso from system/preferences/screen resolution | 06:22 |

| holy_cow | wow | 06:32 |
| slavik | I think | 06:32 |
| Genel | the wrong IRQ | 06:32 |
| borisattva | holy_cow: i dont think irq can be switched by changing the slot, you probably have to change a jumper setting of a sort to change the peripherals IRQ settings | 06:32 |
| tritium | !your | 06:32 |
| ubotu | parse error: dunno what you're talking about, tritium | 06:32 |

| slavik | in a modern system, all PCI cards must be able to share IRQs ... | 06:33 |
| gnudreamer | does anyone have a link on how to install driver from a tar.gz package? | 06:33 |
| holy_cow | borisattva, depends on the mother board, no mother boards have irq's anymore except really really really cheap ones, usually irq's are manually assigned by bios | 06:33 |
| sethk | borisattva, that isn't quite true, at least for PCI devices. PCI devices are scanned sequentially and the IRQs assigned automatically. So moving to a different slot can indeed change the IRQ | 06:33 |
| slavik | in old ISA/PCI system, you could set the IRQ on the card itself (I have some card with jumpers for that) | 06:33 |
| Toma- | anyone had to deal with the cs_46xx driver before? im getting a hard lockup with my system when its inserted | 06:33 |
| sethk | borisattva, plus, there is no other way to change it, other than using the BIOS if it has those features | 06:33 |
| holy_cow | what sethk said, infact almost all pci mobos do this | 06:33 |
| borisattva | thanks :) learned something.. (i left the pc scene in the late 90s, so my knowledge is ISA age) | 06:34 |
| sethk | slavik, that's quite true of isa | 06:34 |
| slavik | sethk: sometimes the BIOS isn't asked ... | 06:34 |
| tonyyarusso | prof, So you had to know to use XChat first? | 06:34 |
| holy_cow | right and even overclocking these days is done via bios, no mobos have dip switches | 06:34 |
| prof | yeah. it's labeled "XChat IRC" so if you know you can get help on IRC, you should be able to figure it out | 06:34 |
| sethk | slavik, true, nevertheless, the pci bus is scanned sequentially, regardless of whether the bios or the os does the scanning | 06:34 |
| slavik | sethk: I know that Window's HAL can assign an IRQ of 23 or some such ... | 06:34 |

| Azunai | slavik, because when i downloaded it from unbuntu site it was only downloading at like 90kbs so i just went for the fastest download :P | 07:14 |
| nanotube | azunai: since you claim to have no linux experience, i would recommend gnome for you. kde is more of a "power user" interface, more difficult to use than gnome. | 07:14 |
| RickBauer | nanotube but, I'm still having fun | 07:14 |
| holy_cow | Azunai, you have the choice of a kubuntu cd as mentioned, but in all honesty there is no difference. its just installing a different group of packages by default | 07:14 |

| h2theizzo | ive changed it to www.broken-pipe.net | 07:15 |

| holy_cow | Azunai, if windows support sucks, it is guarnteed that linux support is worse, its just the way it works | 07:26 |
| frogzoo | Azunai, holy_cow I only do 2d, so mebbe there's a 3d prob I've not seen, but otherwise, rock solid | 07:26 |
| nanotube | h2theizzo: if your ip changes a lot, like slavik says, dyndns might be a good bet. | 07:26 |
| nanotube | howdy sirbijan | 07:26 |
| sirbijan | you said that dns thing about ubuntuforums.org? | 07:26 |
| h2theizzo | heh | 07:26 |
| whyameye | If a program says it is tailored for IA-32 does that mean it will run poorly on an Athon processor even with a 32 bit OS? | 07:26 |
| holy_cow | Azunai, sorry dude, if you use ati for 3d, you don't do 3d for a living. no offense. | 07:26 |
| === slavik has a static IP >8-) | ||
| sirbijan | hi nanotube | 07:26 |
| h2theizzo | it hardly ever changes | 07:26 |
| galgoz | dnydns is a good service | 07:26 |
| sirbijan | nobody seems to answer me | 07:26 |
| Azunai | im not interested in support from them thats y i believe strongly in comunities | 07:26 |
| RickBauer | bbiab | 07:26 |
| slavik | whyameye: Athlon is x86 | 07:26 |
| nanotube | sirbijan: no, that was not about ubuntuforums. ubuntuforums are just down for now. | 07:26 |

| ubotu | ubuntuforums are moving to a new server and should be back up at about 23/1/2006 15:00 UTC (10am US EST) | 07:26 |
| h2theizzo | its changed once in 9 months | 07:26 |
| sirbijan | why nanotube ?! | 07:26 |
| mitrovarr | whyameye: I don't think so, AMDs 64 bit processors were designed to run 32 bit emulation very well | 07:27 |
| slavik | whyameye: tailored to IA32 would mean that it was optimized better if you asked me. | 07:27 |
| prof | so i'm trying to get the native resolution of my lcd working, which is 1280x768. i tried googling it and i can get it to run it, ithink, but about 1/5 of it goes off the side of my monitor. i'm using this guy's line that he uses for his laptop, whose LCD is the same native res. i'm using Modeline "1280x768" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795. my problem is that i have no idea what the numbers mean, so i don't know how to | 07:27 |
| prof | tweak it | 07:27 |
| sirbijan | then where can I ask my questions/ see previous questions?! | 07:27 |
| nanotube | according to the bot, sirbijan, they are moving to new servers. | 07:27 |
| Azunai | holy_cow, no i dont i do it for fun and with my setup ATI seems to render faster and it gets better benchmark results than an nvidia alternative | 07:27 |
| slavik | mitrovarr: that's x86 ... not ia32 | 07:27 |
| sirbijan | ouch | 07:27 |
| slavik | ia32 is different :) | 07:27 |
| prof | any ideas would be appreciated | 07:27 |
| nanotube | sirbijan: ask your questions here... seeing previous questions - you are out of luck for now. they will be back up soon | 07:27 |
| nanotube | !tell sirbijan about forumsdown | 07:27 |
| Azunai | frogzoo, yeah 2d isnt a problem my card is too "state of the art" for the crapy ati drivers to detect | 07:27 |
| slavik | athlon64 doesn't emulate x86 (32bit version) either, it can run that code antively ... since x86-64 is simply an extension. | 07:27 |
| sirbijan | oohoom, thank you! | 07:27 |
| holy_cow | Azunai, heh, no it gets marginally better benchmarks for gamers. gamers opinions don't count as generally they know nothing about hardware. admit it :) | 07:27 |
| sirbijan | ok, this is the first question nanotube | 07:28 |
| sirbijan | I don't have a fast internet connection at home | 07:28 |
| sirbijan | but I have one at work | 07:28 |
| slavik | holy_cow: I would disgagree | 07:28 |
| encompass | can anyone tell me what is going on with the ubuntu forums... For some reason it seems to be down ALOT lately.... | 07:28 |
| sirbijan | so, I'm looking for a way to download my packages at work, and then install them at home | 07:28 |
| h2theizzo | encompass they are moving the servers | 07:28 |
| nanotube | !tell encompass about forumsdown | 07:28 |
| prof | it's those darn unstable linux servers, encompass | 07:28 |
| sirbijan | but I don't have synaptic/apt-get in there | 07:28 |
| slavik | prof: lol | 07:28 |
| h2theizzo | yeah | 07:28 |
| === viky [n=40b5bc03@cgiirc-gateway.ictoadd.com] has left #ubuntu [] | ||

| sirbijan | so, I basically don't know how to get a package with ALL ITS DEPENDENCIES! | 07:29 |
| encompass | cool thanks | 07:29 |
| slavik | whyameye: you should | 07:29 |
| Azunai | holy_cow, no that is true but i play alot of games and i enter tournements for money so ATI and AMD are a must have in my opinion and experiance Intel work beter with nvidia AMD with ATI | 07:29 |
| mitrovarr | whyameye: It should be fine. Are you sure it's a 64 bit athlon, to begin with? Not all are. | 07:29 |
| slavik | whyameye: if you ask me, tailored means that it was optimized more ... but the binary has to be whatever the CPU can process | 07:29 |
| Linuturk | ubuntu forums down? | 07:29 |
| sirbijan | can I PM you nanotube ? | 07:29 |
| whyameye | mitrovarr: yep. | 07:29 |
| encompass | funny, cause AMD has a deal with intel | 07:29 |
| sirbijan | this is place looks really crowded! | 07:29 |
| Azunai | holy_cow, and as u will no doubt know no person that does 3d animation or 3d graphical design for a living would have a AMD chip they would choose intel | 07:29 |

| Poleris | Hi - I was wondering how to permanently spoof a MAC address so it doesn't change on bootup. If you can help me, please msg me. | 07:29 |
| slavik | mitrovarr: if it's athlon64, then it's 64bit :) | 07:29 |
| holy_cow | Azunai, nonsense, thats arbitrary crap information. you need to forget all of what you just said. what you are really pointing out is that ati is comming out with slightly faster products than nvidia in recent times | 07:30 |
| h2theizzo | pfft | 07:30 |
| h2theizzo | yeah right | 07:30 |
| holy_cow | all the rest you said is crap. | 07:30 |
| h2theizzo | get the amd dual core 4400+ | 07:30 |
| h2theizzo | that will blow the shit outta intel | 07:30 |
| h2theizzo | 2mb cache | 07:30 |
| mitrovarr | I know someone who DOES do 3d amination and graphical design, and he uses both. Sometimes one's ahead, and sometimes the other is. | 07:30 |
| gbleem | Linuturk: someone said 10am eastern forums should be back up. | 07:30 |
| h2theizzo | 1000mhz fsb | 07:30 |
| h2theizzo | pff | 07:30 |
| mitrovarr | slavik: I know that, but he didn't specify | 07:30 |
| sirbijan | nanotube: can I PM you? this place looks really crowded! | 07:30 |
| encompass | funny... I think my celeron 700 with 200mb ram is bloody fast! | 07:30 |
| slavik | h2theizzo: 2MB cache is simply delaying the problem | 07:30 |
| malikyo | are the fsb's up to 1ghz now? | 07:30 |
| h2theizzo | yeah | 07:30 |
| h2theizzo | heh | 07:30 |
| slavik | problem being: RAM IS TOO SLOW, but that is offtopic | 07:30 |
| holy_cow | also the amd comment really points to the same fact as the ati comment, amd is simply comming to market with faster cpus than intel these days, and virtually own the 64 segment, for all sorts of reasons | 07:31 |
| h2theizzo | i put my money on amd any day | 07:31 |
| nanotube | sirbijan: i am really not experienced with apt-get, so couldnt give you any good advice about it. (i am just 3 weeks into ubuntu), so i suggest you ask someone with more knowledge of apt-get. | 07:31 |
| h2theizzo | but thats personal opinion | 07:31 |
| h2theizzo | :P | 07:31 |
| encompass | can we get back to ubuntu help | 07:31 |
| mitrovarr | has anyone here compiled their own kernel in ubuntu? I tried, but I had some strange errors | 07:31 |
| h2theizzo | intel might be better | 07:31 |
| nanotube | but you can pm me if you want anyway, sirbijan :) | 07:31 |
| Azunai | holy_cow, LOL slightly hmm 3d benchmarks based on intel and ati suck compared to intel and nvidia amd and nvidia benchmarks are around 90fps slower than when placed with intel chips yet the AMD and ATI combo out performs intel and nvidia by over 200fps | 07:31 |
| mitrovarr | holy_cow: I'd say AMD is way ahead in the dual core arena, too | 07:31 |
| sirbijan | thank you nanotube , you're soo cool | 07:31 |
| h2theizzo | yeah Azunai | 07:31 |
| Azunai | holy_cow, and in games 200fps is the diference between been seen and not been seen | 07:31 |
| sirbijan | nobody seems to answer here nanotube ! | 07:31 |
| h2theizzo | have you tried the SLI 7800GT PCI-EXpress 16's | 07:31 |

| sirbijan | one more thing nanotube | 07:32 |

| Timberwolf_42 | Ok I have heard that the beta release of gaim now supports voice chat does anyone know the validity of this? | 07:36 |

| holy_cow | to say that nvidia is not competing in the gaming market is really to admit that you haven't paid attention, nvidia was the name you used up to about 2000 | 07:37 |

| encompass | they have others that can do that... but that is not gaims priority to have multimedia | 07:38 |
| h2theizzo | read up on the card :P | 07:38 |

| h2theizzo | probly a matter of opinion | 07:39 |
| MickMcMack | Eh, the Xfire is already out. | 07:39 |
| slavik | because there was no 64bit version of the driver for the card | 07:39 |
| Azunai | who said something about an os for gaming before? | 07:39 |
| MickMcMack | And it doesn't perform _that_ well, according to the vast majority of benchmarks. | 07:39 |
| holy_cow | Azunai, based on your rather faulty requirements, i wouldn't support shit product and shit drivers from a company like ati even if they did run games faster | 07:39 |

| Azunai | holy_cow, can u give me the link to the wiki site plz? for the ati install? | 07:41 |
| TheBeast | lol @ sli | 07:41 |
| mitrovarr | so does anyone know if it improves performance to run the 686/k7 kernels as opposed to the generic 386 kernels? | 07:41 |
| slavik | galgoz: the way it was ... 64bit os, 64bit ndiswrapper, no 64bit windows driver | 07:41 |
| TheBeast | what's so cool about sli? | 07:41 |
| h2theizzo | heh | 07:41 |
| h2theizzo | dood | 07:41 |
| galgoz | slavik | 07:41 |
| h2theizzo | its dual video cards | 07:41 |
| nanotube | !tell azunai about ati | 07:41 |
| h2theizzo | on 1 monitor | 07:41 |
| galgoz | slavik, ah, ok | 07:41 |
| TheBeast | so? | 07:41 |
| timfrost | !ati | 07:41 |
| ubotu | rumour has it, ati is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 | 07:41 |
| holy_cow | Azunai, topic is your friend | 07:41 |
| slavik | so the guy said to use 32bit os, 32bit ndiswrapper, 32bit windows driver | 07:41 |
| h2theizzo | twice the fps | 07:41 |
| TheBeast | I know, it's power | 07:41 |
| h2theizzo | exactly | 07:41 |
| TheBeast | but with one fx 4500 you can beat anything | 07:41 |
| h2theizzo | lol | 07:41 |
| h2theizzo | doubt it | 07:41 |
| TheBeast | I game on a workstation videocard here | 07:41 |
| Azunai | thanks | 07:41 |
| h2theizzo | fx isnt that good | 07:41 |
| TheBeast | dude, the fx quadro | 07:41 |
| Azunai | holy_cow, topic? | 07:41 |
| galgoz | slavik, so if i don't use any windows drivers I am ok | 07:41 |
| h2theizzo | oh? | 07:41 |
| h2theizzo | hmm | 07:42 |
| TheBeast | it's liek $2500 | 07:42 |
| slavik | h2theizzo, TheBeast: #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:42 |
| TheBeast | are you nuts? | 07:42 |
| TheBeast | :D | 07:42 |
| h2theizzo | jesus | 07:42 |
| slavik | galgoz: should be | 07:42 |
| h2theizzo | i was thinking like the 5200 fx and 5500fx | 07:42 |
| holy_cow | Azunai, they just gave you the link, follow, topic for channel however gives you most all resources you need | 07:42 |
| slavik | galgoz: that is the only problem I read about with 64bit os | 07:42 |
| galgoz | slavik, converting will require a format and reinstall correct? | 07:42 |
| Azunai | ahhh ok :) | 07:42 |
| Azunai | cool thanks | 07:42 |
| slavik | galgoz: probably | 07:42 |
| mitrovarr | has anyone here compiled their own kernels to use with ubuntu? | 07:42 |
| h2theizzo | lol i cant get 2 + 2 to equal 4 on linux | 07:42 |
| h2theizzo | let alone compile a kernal | 07:43 |
| h2theizzo | :\ | 07:43 |
| Azunai | ok stupid question maybe but with kernels u need to be carefull or so im told so according to wiki i need to update the kernel should i or should i skip that step? | 07:43 |
| slavik | galgoz: the funny part is that anandtech had an article about gcc 3.3 optimizing 32bit code better than gcc 4.0, while gcc 4.0 did that for 64bit code. | 07:43 |
| mitrovarr | I made one compile but I get bizarre errors when I try to run it. It tries to run, but not really | 07:43 |
| frogzoo | mitrovarr, there's a pkg for kernel builds - haven't done it, though should be straightforward | 07:43 |
| slavik | Azunai: I'd update everything, but that's me | 07:43 |
| Azunai | h2theizzo, i learned alot installing gentoo but nothing that worked in gentoo works here :) | 07:43 |
| mitrovarr | Azunai: unless you have specific problems or just want to learn about them, I wouldn't mess with them. | 07:43 |
| Azunai | slavik, ok thanks :) | 07:43 |
| h2theizzo | lol | 07:43 |
| galgoz | slavik, well, I have gcc 3.3 and 4.0 installed and run the one I need anyways | 07:43 |
| h2theizzo | yeah i did gentoo also | 07:43 |
| h2theizzo | on my emachine | 07:44 |
| h2theizzo | took me over a week | 07:44 |
| galgoz | slavik, some aps require gcc 3.3 to compile correct | 07:44 |
| h2theizzo | to friggin complicated | 07:44 |
| TheBeast | h2theizzo no, see http://www.nvidia.com/page/qfx_uhe.html | 07:44 |
| mitrovarr | frogzoo: You mean kernel-package? I found out about that after I made it. | 07:44 |
| slavik | galgoz: was about to say that | 07:44 |
| TheBeast | quadro fx whatever | 07:44 |
| h2theizzo | ok TheBeast | 07:44 |
| whyameye | Azunai: it's no big deal to patch the kernal using ubuntu's module assistant, and if the directions say to do it...they probably have a reason... | 07:44 |
| Azunai | lol took me 2 days man and i was stressed to hell cus after all the install i couldnt get X to work :( | 07:44 |
| h2theizzo | going there now | 07:44 |
| frogzoo | mitrovarr, lol - 2 late now | 07:44 |
| Azunai | whyameye, ok thanks :) | 07:44 |
| galgoz | slavik, I am kinda proud I even install this with as little linux exp as I have | 07:44 |

| h2theizzo | isnt that for graphics applications and stuff | 07:45 |
| TheBeast | h2theizzo yes? | 07:45 |
| h2theizzo | i need something for high end gaming | 07:45 |
| mitrovarr | frogzoo: I tried just following standard kernel-making procedure but it gives me a lot of strange errors on boot | 07:45 |
| TheBeast | yes it is. but you can game on them as well | 07:45 |
| h2theizzo | bf2 and so on | 07:45 |

BTW hdb has one active ubuntu and one for testing, so i can re-install ubuntu on the alt part. on hdb if needed for this to all work | 07:48 |

| holy_cow | cyphase, well if i could figure out why in the world i would need a feed in the first place ... :) | 07:50 |
| nanotube | mojo_, well, one thing you can be entirely sure of is that the win xp pro install will wipe out your grub from hda mbr, so that you will have to boot from cd to restore it. | 07:50 |

| slavik | mojo_: http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html | 07:50 |
| mitrovarr | mojo_: Before you start, you might want to install grub on a floppy so you can boot if something goes horribly wrong | 07:50 |

| mitrovarr | Timberwolf_42: That depends on the operating systems and the size of the drives | 07:51 |
| Timberwolf_42 | Would it be best to install grub on a floppy instead of the mbr? | 07:51 |
| === cappicard [n=cappicar@CPE-72-129-239-219.kc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu | ||

| mitrovarr | Timberwolf_42: Boot floppies are nice for backups, or if you just want an OS for a little while to play with, but if you want it long term you'll want it on a boot sector. Floppies are the most unreliable storage method known to man, after all. | 07:53 |

| prof | if i use the extended desktop setting in fglrxconfig, though, it's just one big desktop that goes through both. so if i wanted to maximize a program it would go across both of them, which isn't what i want either | 08:08 |

| mitrovarr | abeee: OH, that's easy. Go to system, preferences, screen resolution | 08:41 |
| holy_cow | mitrovarr, i would restate that in another way, most windows issues stem from the user refusing to learn or even acknowledge that to properly admin a computer one must have the skills to do so. industry tells them 'customer is always right' and there by extension it turns into 'it is okay to be an idiot and not take responsibility for your actions' | 08:41 |

| Candyman | ok thx | 08:50 |
| gia | tonyyarusso, at home she's only got wi-fi. At school she's only got wired (no, I didn't get that reversed) | 08:50 |

| gia | wizardjames, what are you trying to download? | 08:50 |
| BAki | yup. you can. | 08:50 |
| wizardjames | gia, anything. | 08:51 |
| tonyyarusso | gia: Okay. And you're thinking opening the System > Administration > Networking windows would be too much hassle. | 08:51 |
| Candyman | in the same file, could you look in the Display subsection of the Screen section and tell me the first entry in the Modes line? | 08:51 |

| abeee | baki : is censornet is an operating system ? | 08:52 |
| BAki | yup | 08:52 |
| jldugger | holy_cow, as far as i can tell the only way publishers will start caring is when someone sues them for being hacked through the game. | 08:53 |
| abeee | oh i c | 08:53 |

| metalsand | Candyman: That? | 08:53 |
| Candyman | metalsand, yeah | 08:53 |
| BAki | it is still linux based. | 08:53 |
| tonyyarusso | gia: As in, a launcher named "School" that runs a script checking to see if the wi-fi interface's up, taking it down if yes, and bringing up the wired interface. Then one called "Home" which would do the opposite. All she'd have to do is click the appropriate icon on the desktop for her location. | 08:53 |
| abeee | i c.. | 08:53 |
| holy_cow | BAki, how do you find censornet, i've been looking for something like this actually, thx for the accidental heads up :) | 08:53 |
| tonyyarusso | Anyone have feedback on that suggestion ^^ ? | 08:53 |
| ssstormy | wizardjames, you have any suggestions? synaptic dosn't seem to be finding anything (all the regular ubuntu breezy reps, including multi and uni) | 08:53 |
| Candyman | metalsand, well darn...I was hoping that was the problem, but it looks fine | 08:53 |
| BAki | download. | 08:53 |
| holy_cow | jldugger, ha! as if, they will just pull out the dmca legislation in the us or whatever. | 08:53 |
| metalsand | Candyman: Is there a file where I can manually add resolutions? | 08:53 |
| BAki | il look for the site first. i forgot. | 08:54 |
| ubuntu | i need help .. i need the password of root in the live version of ubuntu | 08:54 |
| abeee | so ubuntu still dont have the function just like clinux censornet. | 08:54 |
| holy_cow | jldugger, that basically answers the question if linux will ever get games, and the answer is no, the fundamental distrust between publisher and user cannot be breached | 08:54 |

| sirbijan | it's a very simple question: I want a web address or sth to access lots of themse for my GNOME | 09:13 |
| jldugger | part of the question is why the modmakers are making their choices. if it's because of a quality set of tools, then OSS has a chance if the right people recognize this. if its because there's a history of making money giving away mods and being "purchased" by a company, well thats a bit more dicey | 09:13 |

| johanbr | viper12: If you look at the CD, you can tell if anything's been burned onto it. Is there anything there? | 09:47 |
| viper12 | all apps are 'successful' and eject the disc normally when complete with the burn..............but nothing is readable. Its almost as if the disc wasn't 'fixed' at the end of the process. | 09:47 |

| Danl | whats a good package for wepkey management for multiple networks? | 10:18 |
| viper12 | is there a command line option johan that you use to 'test'? (as I do not use the command line utils for the burners all that often.) | 10:19 |

| mitrovarr | so does anyone know if you get a performance boost by using the k7 or 686 kernels as opposed to the generic 386 one? | 10:24 |

| Danl | haven't messed with ubuntus kernel, only gentoo's | 10:26 |
| johanbr | mitrovarr: A 386 kernel wouldn't use 3dnow, that's right. On the other hand, I don't think there's very much code in the kernel that uses 3dnow anyway. Even if you run a 386 kernel you can still run userspace programs compiled for k7. | 10:27 |
| mitrovarr | Danl: Ah. I tried compiling 2.6.15.1 but I got all kinds of wierd errors about devfs on boot. | 10:27 |
| johanbr | cyphase: Yes, I think so. | 10:27 |
| Danl | the reason behind it being slower is mostly about asm instruction sets, amd has all the x86 instructions same as intel, but both intel and amd have some xtra different codes as well | 10:27 |
| cyphase | cool | 10:27 |
| mitrovarr | johanbr ann Danl: thanks for the help guys, I've been asking that all night | 10:27 |

| Seveas | ilba7r, hard fact: recommending automatix will only be rewarded with a ban. | 03:18 |
| Seveas | virogenesis, ubuntuguide is almost just as bad | 03:18 |

| metalsand | Hi: I'm trying to get a PCMCIA wireless card to work | 08:02 |
| gnudreamer | im having the same prolems | 08:02 |
| metalsand | but Ubuntu by default installed the wrong drivers for it. | 08:02 |
| WarriorSlayer | but i think is more easy to unninstall by now because i'm only trying to run kubuntu for the first time | 08:02 |
| t_uk2 | i tried that | 08:02 |
| mwe | HiddenFly: yes. what did you try? | 08:03 |
| mwe | t_uk2: hmm | 08:03 |
| quacker | WarriorSlayer, video capture is 'unsupported' and highly frustrating -- if you installed a TV viewer application and it didn't pull the right drivers or ask in debconf, then you're pretty much SOL unless you have an older ATI or Nvidia and enough clue to customize your whole X installlation (many capture drivers are incompatible with ubuntu because it uses the the X.org's implementation of X11R6) | 08:03 |
| metalsand | In Device Mananger it says info.linux.driver orinoco_cs. | 08:03 |
| miki | It's matter of libraries: That version which amule reqires isn't prepared for ubuntu yet | 08:03 |
| gnudreamer | I hang out here a lot ...main concerns are usually capture cards, wireless, and xorg | 08:03 |

| metalsand | Can someone help me get my PCMCIA wireless device to work? | 10:53 |
| fissy | celenk, exactly :) One other thing, you'll want to add the windows loader to grubs config. If you can edit files in that /boot partition you can see, look at 'Code listing 4' for the stuff you need o add to grub's config to get it to boot windows | 10:53 |
| fissy | celenk, hang on, i'll just look it up | 10:53 |
| metalsand | The default install of Ubuntu installed the wrong drivers, now it comes up as a eth device. | 10:53 |
| ompaul | eZe, no you change it for 1 2 3 4 or something which ever you want to boot - it may not match 1 for 1 with the stuff below but you can figure it handy enough | 10:53 |
