| Level15 | late for that, command running and i don't feel like restaring... that's why i need konsole to do the logging | 01:52 |

| Biovore | swilson: cd is probably messed up.. | 01:58 |
| Biovore | having linux installed should effect the windows installer | 01:58 |
| swilson | the cd worked fine on my other computer | 01:58 |
| swilson | it didnt have linux though | 01:58 |
| Biovore | the windows installer dosn't care | 01:59 |
| swilson | is there a way to run it from here? instead of boot? | 01:59 |
| Biovore | your not runing linux.. you didn't boot it.. thus it has nothing to do with the windows stuff dieding.. | 01:59 |
| swilson | so you have to use it by cd boot? | 01:59 |
| Biovore | you can monkey boot other unix oses from linux.. but windows dosn't provide a kernel interface for doing it.. | 02:00 |

| Biovore | yup.. I have xfce on one of my computers.. | 02:31 |
| pingbat | better than kde? which i prefer to gnome | 02:31 |
| miles | xubuntu is nice because it is lightweight | 02:32 |
| Biovore | xfce uses gtk for rendering.. | 02:32 |
| ardchoille | pingbat: "better" is simply personal preference. | 02:32 |
| Biovore | well the xubuntu implmentation is kinda heavy though... | 02:32 |
| miles | better in terms of performance* | 02:32 |
| pingbat | yes well | 02:32 |
| miles | mousepad, the default text ed for xfce, loads in less than a second | 02:32 |

| pingbat | me too | 02:36 |
| DaSkreech | Level15: Eh? | 02:36 |
| pingbat | imo kde is far better than gnome | 02:36 |

| DaSkreech | There are plans for a 7.10 standalone CD with KDE4 though | 02:38 |
| Level15 | DaSkreech: official? | 02:38 |
| pingbat | anyone tried enlightenment? | 02:38 |
| miles | !enlightenment | 02:38 |
| ubotu | Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. | 02:38 |
| DaSkreech | Level15: What do you mean by that? | 02:38 |
| Level15 | pingbat: long time ago | 02:38 |
| Level15 | DaSkreech: will it be official kubuntu cd or some cd someone else will put together? | 02:39 |
| pingbat | i know what it is | 02:39 |
| DaSkreech | It will be done by the Kubuntu Team | 02:39 |
| pingbat | anyone tried recently? | 02:39 |
| Level15 | pingbat: i didn't like it much back then | 02:39 |
| ardchoille | miles: Looking for window managers? | 02:39 |
| miles | really? i thought i read shuttleworth say it wont be released with kde4 | 02:39 |
| pingbat | i dunno, it looks nice and simple | 02:39 |
| miles | no | 02:39 |
| miles | i wasnt sure what enlightenment was] | 02:39 |
| ardchoille | Ah, ok | 02:40 |
| miles | beryl/kwin <--- | 02:40 |
| Level15 | pingbat: give fluxbox a try then | 02:40 |
| pingbat | oh, hehe | 02:40 |
| pingbat | hmm | 02:40 |
| pingbat | is there such a thing as an environment manager? | 02:40 |
| ardchoille | fluxbox simply rocks! | 02:40 |
| miles | environment manager would keep track of window managers? | 02:40 |
| pingbat | whereby it stops apps getting mixed up etc | 02:40 |
| pingbat | well, yeah | 02:41 |
| ardchoille | miles: I don't think so, many people change the default window manager inside their desktop environment. | 02:41 |
| DaSkreech | miles: It won't release with KDE4 | 02:41 |
| miles | yea, thats what i was saying | 02:41 |
| ardchoille | miles: Before I switched to kubuntu, I was using openbox inside gnome.. because metacity sucks out loud. But, kde is much better ;) | 02:41 |
| Maxdamantus | Hmm.. How long would it take to zero out a 250GiB HD? | 02:42 |
| Level15 | opinions on kuickshow vs gwenview ? | 02:42 |
| Level15 | Maxdamantus: long | 02:42 |
| pingbat | not too long, depending on write speed, about 2hours | 02:42 |
| Maxdamantus | Lol. Few hours? | 02:42 |
| miles | is it possible to get amarok to be integrated inside a konqueror window? | 02:42 |
| pingbat | probably a bit less | 02:42 |
| ardchoille | Level15: kuickshow is way faster, but you can browse folders in gwenview | 02:42 |
| Maxdamantus | Just remembered, when I got my other computer. | 02:42 |
| Maxdamantus | The 5gb HD had problems.. It wouldn't create new partitions or labels correctly. | 02:43 |
| Maxdamantus | So I erased it with DBaN.. Took an hour and a half. | 02:43 |
| Maxdamantus | Although DBaN does it twice; first by writing over with /dev/urandom, then /dev/zero | 02:43 |
| pingbat | just get someone to write you a win boot cd and use "format c" | 02:43 |
| Maxdamantus | pingbat, that's not erasing. | 02:44 |
| pingbat | you don't need to erase it | 02:44 |
| Maxdamantus | Formatting probably doesn't even erase the partition on Windows. | 02:44 |
| pingbat | to the computer, a format is pretty much the same | 02:44 |
| Level15 | WTF? i just read that plasma will run Mac OS X widgets! | 02:44 |
| nosrednaekim | yep | 02:44 |
| Maxdamantus | Lol. When I removed the partition on my 5gb HD.. It wouldn't leave. | 02:44 |
| nosrednaekim | they are just javascript | 02:44 |
| Level15 | nice! | 02:44 |
| Maxdamantus | Whenever I tried creating a new partition over it, it just created the same NTFS partition. | 02:44 |
| Biovore | Level15: yeah all KDE4 stuff will be completely portable.. windows will probably be able to run them at some point.. | 02:44 |
| miles | mac os x widgets are javascript? | 02:45 |
| Maxdamantus | With the same data. | 02:45 |
| Level15 | Biovore: i'd love to run konq on windows... | 02:45 |
| pingbat | that is wierd | 02:45 |
| Biovore | miles: QT4 www.trolltech.com | 02:45 |
| pingbat | but honestly, a format should work | 02:45 |
| miles | you know, ive actually called trolltech before on business | 02:45 |
| miles | but thats what the widgets are made with? | 02:45 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 02:46 |
| Maxdamantus | Hmm.. I have a question to do with Konq. | 02:46 |
| pingbat | when you format, the hd tells the computer that it's empty | 02:46 |
| Biovore | miles: just google on dd or pop open a terminal and type "man dd" | 02:46 |
| Maxdamantus | You know how it has the QT style buttons and forms embedded into the HTML? | 02:46 |
| Maxdamantus | Is that Konqueror that does that, or does the HTML engine do it natively? | 02:47 |
| pingbat | then the computer fills up the hdd with new data, overwriting the old data, which it can't see cause the hdd doesn't let it | 02:47 |
| Biovore | Maxdamantus: you don't.. the webbrowser desides what the button looks like.. | 02:47 |
| miles | yea i just did | 02:47 |
| Maxdamantus | Biovore, I don't what? | 02:47 |

| Biovore | make the kernel using "make" then "make modules-install" then make a new initrd with "mkinitrd <stuff>" | 05:12 |
| hitmanWilly | but if you can roll an ubuntu kernel, you can do it on pretty much any distro out there | 05:13 |

| Dr_willis | draik, you dont need the driver for your MOTHERBOARD.. you need the driver for the 'emulated vmware hardeare network card' | 05:44 |
| hitmanWilly | draik, the VM is probably emulating the hardware | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | and the vmware card is a generic ne2000 or somthing real BASIC. | 05:44 |

| bionic | hi | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | I imagine its discussed in the various vmware message boards if theres somthing you need. | 05:45 |
| intelikey | fulat2k basicly why the -dev package ? | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | You should also install the vmware-support tools in the vista os. | 05:45 |

| draik | Sorry, top THREE os's | 05:50 |
| intelikey | fulat2k well it looks like whoever wrote that is using the -dev as a meta package to pull in the base package... you should probably make sure that it actually installed the base package, but ! back to your Q there are two things that normally cause that issue 1. the default desktop environment can not be found/run 2. you have messed up permissions in your users home dir. | 05:51 |
| hitmanWilly | and linux, while its getting easier all the time, still requires people to learn something new | 05:51 |
| draik | Many only put windows and that was it. No 2 or 3, just windows. Not because it's "awesome" but because they don't know anything else | 05:51 |
| bionic | but its just like when i first played around on a computer | 05:51 |
| bionic | how it is with linux | 05:51 |
| bionic | you end up learning | 05:51 |
| bionic | and it comes natural | 05:51 |
| draik | I love Linux | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | 'learn' ? yea.. i dont have to relearn ANYTHING to use vista... HA! HA HA!~ | 05:52 |
| bionic | just like operating windows | 05:52 |
| draik | Yup | 05:52 |
| hitmanWilly | its all about perception | 05:52 |
| intelikey | fulat2k if you need help trubble shoting which of the two it is, just haller. | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | ijust have to figure out where they put all the settings, and renamed them, and broke things.. :) | 05:52 |
| ardchoille | hitmanWilly: Wouldn't any new OS require people to learn something? | 05:52 |

| intelikey | EULA | 05:52 |

| intelikey | E U L A | 05:53 |
| hitmanWilly | linux is still considered a fringe market for geeks and supposedly very hard to use | 05:53 |
| hitmanWilly | its BS but that's the perception | 05:53 |
| intelikey | considered that by whom ? M$ ? | 05:53 |
| hitmanWilly | as a general whole among normal folks, if they even know what it is at all | 05:54 |
| intelikey | the pr team at M$ maybe ? | 05:54 |
| bionic | indeed | 05:54 |
| hitmanWilly | that has been changing lately, tho | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis | given the Huge hassles ive seen with vista..... I think they beat out linux now. | 05:54 |
| ardchoille | It's all opinions. In my opinion, Windows dies out in 2001 and I haven't touched it since.. and I can do anyting I want in Linux without limitations. | 05:54 |

| bionic | ok | 06:15 |
| sauvin | teiwaz, why are you asking about gstreamer? | 06:15 |
| teiwaz | I FUBAR'd it | 06:15 |
| teiwaz | anything that calls it doesn't work | 06:15 |
| Dr_willis | I have several C64s still. | 06:15 |
| ardchoille | teiwaz: xine is much better: sudo apt-get install xine-ui libxine-extracodecs | 06:15 |
| teiwaz | I've tried clearing the cache, reinstalling the individual packages, etc | 06:15 |
| ardchoille | Dr_willis: You do?! Those were nice. | 06:15 |
| draik | Dr_willis: Well, the website is of no help (vmware.com) | 06:15 |
| sauvin | mplayer is better even still, for most things. If you need gstreamer for flash plugins, i'd recommend the Adobe plugin instead. | 06:16 |
| Dr_willis | ardchoille, yep. :) theres also a C64-Game-Joystick (for the tv) that has like 30 of the old C64 games. | 06:16 |

| ardchoille | bionic: Windows won't sue Linux users.. they'd be cutting their own throat. | 06:40 |
| Dr_willis | mm_202, that may be a bit hard to do. | 06:40 |
| mm_202 | :/ | 06:40 |
| Dr_willis | nfs shares mounted, then the server dropping/hanging/ect.. is not good for nfs | 06:41 |
| Dr_willis | Its not real resiliant :) | 06:41 |
| mm_202 | Dr_willis: what happens if you have dir with stuff in it (say the offline files) and you mount on top of it? | 06:41 |
| mm_202 | lol, yeah, Ive found that out the hard way :) | 06:41 |
| Dr_willis | thats possible i guess. | 06:41 |
| Dr_willis | but if the NFS share/server hangs up/network changes// then how is the system to know that.. | 06:42 |

| bionic | i did it in windows | 06:44 |

| vzduch | you can also configure the control bar to either show all running programs (default) or only those on the virtual desktop you're currently on | 09:50 |

| Tyro | i've only eve needed 1 | 09:58 |
| Tyro | haha | 09:58 |
| Tyro | 2 sounds handy | 09:58 |
| vzduch | egon_: it says 'init 3' because most distros start in runlevel 5 by default, and runlevel 3 is different in that it doesn't start the X server automatically.. in *buntu the default runlevel is 2 and runlevels 2 to 5 are the same | 09:58 |

| Dragnslcr | bionic- considering the only difference is the desktop environment that's enabled by default, I would guess it's because people like KDE more than Gnome | 11:58 |
| bionic | oh yeah thats why i download it | 11:59 |
| bionic | someone told me Gnome is crap | 11:59 |
| pag | x89x, I have no idea. sorry. | 11:59 |
| bionic | ahah that reminds me | 11:59 |
| bionic | whats wrong with gnome | 11:59 |
| kaminix2 | bionic: It's not crap. Neither KDE nor Gnome is crap. In | 11:59 |
| Kamijo | yonahw: Im the kind of guy who doesn't like to compile stuff. I perfere precompiled packages. It makes the system easier to keep updated | 11:59 |
| Tyro | i'll see if i can get kubuntu to work now | 11:59 |

| kaminix2 | bionic: It's a matter of preference. | 12:00 |
| bionic | said that couldnt stand it | 12:00 |

| x89x | how do i install 3d openchrome drivers anyone ! | 12:00 |
| yonahw-work | Kamijo: what I am really trying to find out if i can avoid reformatting and can just say uninstall centos and install kubuntu | 12:00 |
| bionic | they need to automate linux is a bit better | 12:00 |
| yonahw-work | Kamijo: or whatever the "best" way to do it would be | 12:00 |
| Kamijo | yonahw: well that might be harder. I'd reformat if I w | 12:01 |
| Kamijo | were about to change dist | 12:01 |
| kaminix2 | bionic: It's already more automated than Windows in many aspects, imo. | 12:01 |
| bionic | why do so many come in here with problems setting it up then | 12:01 |
| Dragnslcr | Linux doesn't need to be automated better, companies need to start supporting it | 12:01 |
| bionic | and sometimes u have to manually mount drives | 12:02 |
| fwaokda | is there a good site to learn about changing/customizing my desktop look? | 12:02 |
| trekdanne | that's more of a design question | 12:02 |
| Dragnslcr | Broadcom is probably the source of over 50% of the hardware issues in Linux | 12:02 |
| Kamijo | yonahw: it then depends on how you have partioned your drives | 12:02 |
| bionic | fwaokda: www.meatspin.com | 12:02 |
| fwaokda | right... | 12:02 |
| bionic | what ? | 12:02 |
| yonahw-work | Kamijo: how so? | 12:03 |
| fwaokda | idk if you like the site thats fine with me.... homo. | 12:03 |
| Kamijo | I always use /home for a separate partion so I may save my own stuff and can reformat / without loosing any important | 12:03 |
| kaminix2 | bionic: I said in some aspects. And as trekdanne, much of the so called problems is a matter of system design. Also, do not pretend people sitting with Windows do not have problems at times.... | 12:03 |
| yonahw-work | Kamijo: hmm never thought of doing that | 12:03 |

| runlevelten | Fat32 is truly pooey. Still, if you want to keep a very large amount of your space accessible from both, fat32 is a lot better than ntfs | 01:28 |
| arun | runlevelten: why dont you like fat32 | 01:28 |
| Cannoli | i have 250 gb pag | 01:28 |
| pag | Cannoli, how much do you want to Windows? | 01:29 |
| Cannoli | depends | 01:29 |
| Cannoli | how much do u usually use on linux? | 01:29 |
| runlevelten | arun: fat32 doesn't support permissions or anything. It's a big void in a system as far as access control is concerned. It depends what you want out of it. | 01:29 |
| Cannoli | like are linux progs smaller than windows? | 01:29 |
| vge | Cannoli: you have your partitions made up? | 01:29 |
| Cannoli | ive never dealt with linux programs before so i dont know abt tier sizes | 01:29 |
| pag | Cannoli, /home contains your files - so up to you, and root ( / ) takes usually less than 10GB | 01:30 |
| Cannoli | no vge | 01:30 |
| runlevelten | arun: I will tend to install ext3 support in windows for people if they want to do all that stuff. | 01:30 |

| runlevelten | nah. Give root 15 if you want, that's plenty of room. | 01:39 |
| Cannoli | ic | 01:39 |
| bionic | you will probably find you will download less on linux | 01:39 |
| vge | Cannoli: programs save their settings in your /home folder | 01:40 |
| runlevelten | bionic: pffffft. | 01:40 |
| Cannoli | so root will hold things like program files on windows? | 01:40 |
| Cannoli | liek the program files folder on windows* | 01:40 |
| pag | Cannoli, sort of.. | 01:40 |
| runlevelten | program files, system files, temp files, system-wide settings. | 01:40 |
| Cannoli | ic | 01:40 |
| Cannoli | so wouldnt that require more space :S | 01:41 |
| runlevelten | Then all per-user settings will go in your own directory. | 01:41 |
| Cannoli | cause like my windows drive is like the root partition | 01:41 |
| vge | but if u seperate /home folder and need to reinstall linux, u never loose those settings you have changed for those programs | 01:41 |
| teiwaz | gstreamer? anyone? | 01:41 |
| Cannoli | but u loose the prgrams? | 01:41 |
| runlevelten | Cannoli: Probably not. Also, you can move things around if you need to. That's unix for you. | 01:42 |
| pag | teiwaz, sudo apt-get remove --purge packages ? | 01:42 |
| vge | yes, but if u reinstall the program, the settings will be restored from your /home folder | 01:42 |
| Cannoli | so u guys are saying 15 gb should be more than enough for root? | 01:42 |
| vge | yup | 01:42 |
| arunkale | Cannoli: individual settings for each program are stored in your /home directory. so later if you install kubuntu on another computer and transfer stuff from your home partition to the new computer.. all your settings will be retained for the apps | 01:42 |
| Cannoli | and like 85 for home | 01:42 |
| runlevelten | Cannoli: as long as you're separating home out somewhere else. | 01:42 |

| Dragnslcr | Windows just uses a file on the system's partition, but Linux uses a separate partition | 02:39 |
| Cannoli | oh snap | 02:39 |
| Cannoli | ok | 02:39 |
| runlevelten | You can use a file on the system partition in Linux too, but it's not so good to do that. | 02:40 |
| Cannoli | so how big should i make it? | 02:40 |
| stdin | Cannoli: it's like the windows "Page File" but it's a whole partition | 02:40 |

| runlevelten | A big debate basically. | 02:40 |
| Dragnslcr | Mine is 5 GB, but I have plenty of extra disk space | 02:40 |
| Dragnslcr | 2 GB should be a good amount | 02:41 |

| Dragnslcr | That's the nice thing about parted | 02:44 |
| Dragnslcr | It can even slice a piece off a partition with data on it | 02:44 |
| Dragnslcr | Which saved my butt | 02:45 |

| ubotu | limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative. | 04:45 |
| Dr_willis | I like Frostwire | 04:46 |
| Dr_willis | !frostwire | 04:46 |

| runlevelten | kaffeine isn't crappy in the least. Kaffeine is excellent. | 06:41 |
