|---|
| Ademan | I think the desktop install should let you pick exactly which packages are installed as part of the base system or something, maybe allow an "install profile" that defines exactly what to be installed (and is modifyable) so that installation to large networks is easier | 12:36 |

| BHSPitMonkey | mwe, yeah, my ubuntu installation is on a partition, and I'm replacing that drive with a larger one., | 12:42 |

| lamego | david_, first you should make sure your repositories, then if you use compiz/aigglz you should know that they are beta an can break your system | 12:42 |

| mwe | tjs: forget about ubuntu and look for distro for embedded devices | 01:08 |
|---|
| sethk | tjs, if it has a 40 gig drive, what is a CF card used for? | 01:08 |

| sethk | lupine_85, that's true, but it has to be a very large number of writes | 01:08 |

| sethk | natural20, java is a bad example because the package install isn't great. For other things, though, ubuntu uses the debian package manager. you can run an app, synaptic, and search for and install packages | 01:36 |
|---|
| K^Holtz | will azureus update automaticall through update manager or do i have to type something specifically in ubuntu to get it to update? | 01:36 |
|---|
| sethk | natural20, that takes care of things like dependencies, meaning it installs whatever you need that is missing | 01:36 |
|---|
| Linuturk | how do I get my gdesklets to load at startup? | 01:36 |
|---|
| sethk | natural20, it's best to install that way and revert to other methods only if using packages has a problem. | 01:36 |
|---|
| mRCUTEO | sethk : sorry for my wrong statment: what im trying to say: is there any exploit againts Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - i heard kernel 2.6 got affected.. | 01:37 |
|---|
| lupine_85 | on my CD it's at pool/main/x/xorg-server | 01:37 |

| Hexidigital | Linuturk: add them to System > Preferences > Session > Startup | 01:37 |

|---|
| KolaNorsu | any one has just updatet his X.org-server-core? i made it and my X wont work now =( | 01:37 |
|---|
| sethk | mRCUTEO, whatever applies to the 2.6 kernel applies to ubuntu, but I have not heard of a problem with the kernel used in either breezy or dapper (dapper is 6.06) | 01:37 |

| natural20 | sethk: ok, i'll try that | 01:37 |

| mwe | HellDragon: I had to manually fix the APT database once | 01:55 |
|---|
| profoX` | I never liked the gstreamer engine anyway.. Xine engine has always worked better here :) (for amarok) | 01:55 |
|---|
| lupine_85 | weirdo: comment out all the net repos, leaving just the cdrom one. Then apt-get update. Thensudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core=1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10 | 01:55 |
|---|
| lupine_85 | see if that does the trick | 01:55 |
|---|
| gbauman | profoX`: Yeah, but 0.10 fisxed a lot of the big architectural issues. Gstreamer is almost as cool as the BeOS Media Kit now | 01:55 |

| Warbo | Gstreamer Amarok engine always screws up for me, so I use Xine. It seems like gstreamer tries to catch up to itself or something, and the song stutters | 01:57 |
|---|
| profoX` | gbauman: I don't know alot about BeOS (almost nothing) I know it's a closed source OS that's pretty cool and fast :) and that there is an open source project Haiku that wants to create an open source BeOS, but thats all I know :) | 01:57 |
|---|
| Quicksilva | anyone know of a program in linux to adjust cpu fan speed :/ | 01:57 |
|---|
| profoX` | Warbo: yea I know, but in 1.4.x gstreamer will be gone anyway, it's unsure if it will come back or not | 01:57 |
|---|
| mwe | HellDragon: what I did, and only try it at own risk was. back up /var/lib/dpkg and removed the enry for the broken package. that way apt thinks it's never been installed | 01:57 |
|---|
| Warbo | profoX`: I wanted to try Haiku in Qemu, but you need to install BeOS first, then turn it into Haiku :( | 01:57 |

|---|
| HellDragon | mwe: fixing X first would be a better idea :( | 01:58 |
|---|
| gbauman | Warbo: That's because the Haiku project is replacing the BeOS's commercial closed-source parts from inside the BeOS itself | 01:58 |

Arrow down to the desired resolution and hit space to select it, then finish out selecting defaults.

| natural20 | i am a man nearly reduced to tears. i just want to check my email. | 05:05 |
|---|
| bruenig | natural20, if you are doing it in /opt, which is the purpose of that directory. For just this reason, then you would do sudo. But others seem to think the /opt directory is bad. I defer to them I guess | 05:05 |
|---|
| stiv2k | how do i delete stuff off my "Places" menu in GNOME? there's a whole list of FTP servers on it that dont work anymore | 05:05 |

| sethk | natural20, second you are trying to write it to a directory for which you don't have write privileges | 05:05 |
|---|
| lupine_85 | fix: hmm. looks like there's no native linux driver, so it's an ndiswrapper job | 05:05 |

| bruenig | natural20, go to here http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-1.5.0.6&os=linux&lang=en-US in a web browser and download firefox. Save it to your username directory if you can | 05:17 |

| lupine_85 | if it's not mentioned, it's worth a try. I'd suggest you download and install it along with the most recent windows drivers for your card that you can find | 05:18 |

| RamiKassab | guys, any idea on how to share an internet connection via Firestarted? my lan device is active but Firestarter says the device isn't ready. I have Network Manager installed and Network Manager requires you to comment out the devices from /etc/network/interfaces | 05:18 |
|---|
| skaller | bimberi .. i'm on amd64 not x86 | 05:18 |
|---|
| lupine_85 | there is no linux driver, so it's linuxant or ndiswrapper - and you've already tried the latter | 05:18 |
|---|
| natural20 | bruenig is my username directory home? | 05:18 |
|---|
| DrBanzai | vik_, Well, that was set to use ttyS1 | 05:18 |

| lupine_85 | yes | 05:18 |
|---|

|---|
| fix | I have tryed ndiswrapper but I have no idea what I was doing lol,, let me go try to find this linuxant program and see if it works | 05:19 |
|---|
| lupine_85 | it's like ndiswrapper - lets you use windows network drivers in linux | 05:19 |
|---|
| bruenig | natural20, it will be /home/username | 05:19 |
|---|
| fix | okay ty | 05:19 |
|---|
| vik_ | and you've been trying minicom on ttyS0? | 05:19 |

| bj_ | Hey all, flash is locking up firefox. when I hit back. Closing a tab is OK, but the back button locks the browser when any flash is being displayed. I looked around and I had 2 versions of flash installed, so I fixed that and now only have 1, but it still does it. The only relevant thing I changed was a new mobo/cpu. I went dual core, and everything seems to be working OK besides this | 05:57 |
