[05:05] <ubot2> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[05:06] <Mohan_chml> aww I gorgot to ping IRC council :/
[05:07] <Mohan_chml> Bodsda: you there?
[05:38] <Atavachron> hey all may neone help me
[05:38] <Atavachron> whats the difference between the distrubs. between jaunty, carmic, lucid...?
[05:40] <seidos> Atavachron, well, the kernels used in each version of ubuntu are different.
[05:40] <aveilleux> Atavachron: The names are the codenames for the versions
[05:40] <aveilleux> Atavachron: In alphabetical order, Jaunty is 9.04, Karmic is 9.10, and Lucid is 10.04
[05:43] <Atavachron> so what is in those for the end-user i mean...is that mean any difference?
[05:44] <Atavachron> i've decided to have a try on ubuntu multimedia releases
[05:45] <AbhiJit> Atavachron, try the latest one
[05:45] <Atavachron> so its just mean most up-to-date version
[05:45] <AbhiJit> yah
[05:46] <aveilleux> Atavachron: Yes. Certain newer versions of the software aren't available for the older versions of Ubuntu
[05:46] <AbhiJit> and new 'features' too
[05:46] <aveilleux> Atavachron: 99 cases out fo 100 your best bet is to get the latest one
[05:46] <AbhiJit> e.g. i dont know exactly but adding ppa in 8.04 was different and now its different in newer versino - easier
[05:46] <aveilleux> Atavachron: I've only ever heard of one case where a person had to downgrade the kernel, and even then they kept their Ubuntu installation up to date (except the kernel, obviously)
[05:47] <Atavachron> it is better when its updated for me cause im really a noob for this...
[05:48] <Atavachron> i've heard good things about studio distrb.
[05:48] <AbhiJit> !studio
[05:48] <ubot2> UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org
[05:49] <aveilleux> Atavachron: Ubuntu Studio is pretty good. I personallt prefer installing the Ubuntu base and adding packages myself, but that's just me
[05:49] <Atavachron> thx all for the info guys....this will be an über noob, but can we use internet on studio distrb.?
[05:52] <Atavachron> i mean studio distrib. fully functional as the others?
[05:52] <Atavachron> i'm really a noob about linux excuse me
[05:53] <Atavachron> never used one before
[05:54] <aveilleux> Atavachron: Yes, of course. Studio is just an addon.
[05:54] <AbhiJit> Atavachron, ubuntu studio is ready to use - just insatll - and start doing your all work
[05:54] <AbhiJit> !manual | Atavachron
[05:54] <ubot2> Atavachron: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[05:55] <Atavachron> thx AbhiJit and others, u so kind guys
[05:55] <AbhiJit> Atavachron, welcome!
[05:59] <Atavachron> its gettin better, as far as i looked, i can play a lot of games in linux too! Apart than the natives, we got WINE too...Any WINE experiences? How is the FPS rates?
[06:02] <seidos> Atavachron, you might want to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic.  there are quite a few gamers in there as i recall
[06:02] <aveilleux> Atavachron: Depends on what game, and what video hardware you have. I'm an avid gamer, so I've tried a lot :3
[06:04] <seidos> aveilleux, oh yeah, you did mention you play starcraft 2
[06:04] <Atavachron> As an example, cod4 we say...Is it smooth as in windows in wine? Is there any FPS downfalls or sum?
[06:04] <aveilleux> Atavachron: what kind of video hardware are we talking? nvidia? ati?
[06:05] <Atavachron> nvidia...lets say gtx 460...
[06:05] <aveilleux> "Let's say"..??
[06:05] <Atavachron> i'll buy one lol
[06:06] <aveilleux> Atavachron: well nvidia performance is a little crappier than ATi, but that's a pretty hefty card
[06:06] <aveilleux> Atavachron: I'll guess that it won't be as good as on Windows, but it'll definitely be more than playable
[06:07] <Atavachron> have u really tried starcraft? how was it?
[06:07] <aveilleux> Atavachron: I assume you mean "starcraft 2". And it's probably one of the best games I've ever played.
[06:08] <Atavachron> yep...i mean the performance
[06:08] <aveilleux> Atavachron: Sadly (since I have an older nvidia card) its performance under Linux suffers terribly
[06:08] <Atavachron> on wine i assume
[06:08] <Atavachron> oh ok
[06:08] <aveilleux> Atavachron: SCII is roughly equivalent to Bioshock in terms of video power requirements, so it's pretty heavy on the syste,
[06:09] <aveilleux> system*
[06:09] <Atavachron> i see...do u know that is there any xfire release for linux?
[06:12] <nhandler> Mohan_chml: Still need an OP
[06:13] <aveilleux> Atavachron: Yes and no. Pidgin can log into Xfire servers, but you can't get the game overlay.
[06:13] <aveilleux> Atavachron: http://pricklytech.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/ubuntu-10-4-lucid-how-to-setup-up-xfire-on-ubuntu/
[06:14] <Atavachron> thx a billion...that will be useful of course in following days
[06:18] <aveilleux> Indubitably
[06:21] <Atavachron> erm, what u recommend for gaming on linux, 32 or 64 bit?
[06:22] <aveilleux> Atavachron: It really doesn't matter. WINE only runs in 32-bit mode, but there are 64-bit binaries. So it just doesn't matter. I'd recommend 64-bit if you have a system capable of it, since you'll get better overall performance on it.
[06:23] <Atavachron> i see....much appreciated mate...
[06:28] <Atavachron> thx all for your assistances, have a nice day all, i'll be there again when i got my new rig aveilleux, cya mate
[06:29] <aveilleux> Atavachron: Have fun
[07:28] <Mohan_chml> nhandler: there??

[15:32] <trans> hello everyone, I'm a newbie, can I ask problems regarding notebook edition
[15:33] <trans> 10.10 rc
[15:33] <Mjiig> !ask
[15:33] <ubot2> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[15:34] <trans> Today morning I installed 10.10 RC netbook edition, system seems to be slow, not as smooth as 10.04 I use few days back
[15:34] <trans> also I cant connect empathy to gtalk, evolution to sync my gmail account
[15:36] <trans> will my problems be solved in official release
[17:05] <Mjiig> hi everyone! i just booted the latest ubuntu iso using unetbootin and it gave me a busybox error (something to the tune of "could not find init, try using init=flag") can any one help?
[17:09] <aveilleux> Mjiig: Can you try booting again, and write down the exact error?
[17:09] <Mjiig> if you need me to
[17:09] <Mjiig> but that was almost exactly it
[17:09] <aveilleux> Mjiig: Was the init=flag exactly it?
[17:09] <Mjiig> i think it was init= flag (with a space)
[17:12] <aveilleux> Mjiig: Let me go grab my CD so I can walk you through this
[17:13] <Mjiig> thanks
[17:13] <sebsebseb> Hi
[17:13] <sebsebseb> Hi
[17:14] <stlsaint> sebsebseb: hello
[17:14] <stlsaint> sup folks
[17:14] <sebsebseb> stlsaint: hi
[17:15] <stlsaint> was the issue here?
[17:16] <aveilleux> stlsaint: which issue?
[17:17] <stlsaint> aveilleux: sorry, i meant to say "whats"
[17:20] <aveilleux> Mjiig: When you boot into the CD, on the boot splash screen (try ubuntu, etc.) hit F6 to bring up the boot line, then esc to get out of the preseeded options
[17:20] <aveilleux> Mjiig: then type a space, then init=flag
[17:20] <aveilleux> mjiig: That should solve your problem, acoording to the boot diagnostics
[17:21] <Mjiig> aveilleux, hey, it doesn't get to the boot spash, i get a busy box error as soon as the unetbootin options have disappeared then it just gives me an ash shell
[17:21] <aveilleux> Mjiig: Oh. Well dang.
[17:22] <aveilleux> Mjiig: I'd say that you have to try modifying the boot options, but I know next to nothing about the livecd options
[17:22] <aveilleux> Mjiig: Sorry :(
[17:22] <Mjiig> okay
[17:22] <Mjiig> any ideas for where to start?
[17:24] <Mjiig> agh just found a solution, i tried googling a second time, sorry to waste your time
[17:28] <aveilleux> Mjiig: Oh you didn't waste it, it's fine
[17:30] <Mjiig> final test :) i hope this works
[17:31] <stlsaint> aveilleux: whats the issue with Mjiig?
[17:32] <aveilleux> stlsaint: They were having problems booting the LiveCD with UNetBootIn.
[17:32] <stlsaint> oh
[17:33] <_CommandeR_> nice love the Ubuntu servers :P
[17:33] <_CommandeR_> 3.8mb/s downloading the update :P
[17:34] <stlsaint> lol
[17:34] <_CommandeR_> they are faster than old windows servers :)
[17:35] <shahan> I want the checksum for ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso
[17:36] <stlsaint> shahan: look on site where you downloaded from
[17:37] <shahan> stlsaint: I have downloded from the ubuntu.com
[17:38] <Mjiig> thanks for your help aveilleux, got it working now (just so you know, the repo version of unetbootin can't handle 10.10 for some reason)
[17:38] <aveilleux> shahan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[17:39] <aveilleux> Mjiing: Thanks for the heads-up.
[17:39] <shahan> aveilleux: thank you... I think http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/MD5SUMS this one is the best solution :)
[17:43] <_CommandeR_> wonder how the ATI drivers are on the new maw
[18:24] <_CommandeR_> damn updating takes ages
[18:39] <duanedesign> _CommandeR_: heh, it always gets slow on release day doesnt it
[18:40] <_CommandeR_> no downloaded the update in 2 minutes
[18:40] <_CommandeR_> installing it takes ages
[18:40] <duanedesign> ahhh
[18:40] <_CommandeR_> more than 1 hour now
[18:44] <_CommandeR_> awesome

[19:04] <n8ofsp8ds> hey guys i need with ubuntu 10.10
[19:04] <n8ofsp8ds> i cant tell if i have rc or final
[19:04] <n8ofsp8ds> my boot screen doesnt look right
[19:05] <n8ofsp8ds> still looks like the rc
[19:05] <aveilleux> n8ofsp8ds: The final version has most of the elements of the RC
[19:05] <n8ofsp8ds> well i booted up the live cd for 10.10 final
[19:06] <n8ofsp8ds> and i boot up my that installed
[19:06] <n8ofsp8ds> the splash screen looks different
[19:06] <n8ofsp8ds> looks like the beta and the rc
[19:06] <n8ofsp8ds> but the kernel matches the final
[19:07] <n8ofsp8ds> i the update yestereday of a image of 2.6.35.22
[19:08] <n8ofsp8ds> got
[19:08] <n8ofsp8ds> is that the final there'
[19:09] <aveilleux> n8ofsp8ds: As far as I know, yeah
[19:10] <stlsaint> n8ofsp8ds: if you download and install the beta 1 and continue to update on the same install all the way up to the final relase date (today) you will end up with the final release!
[19:10] <n8ofsp8ds> ya i didnt get update today
[19:10] <n8ofsp8ds> just yesterday
[19:10] <stlsaint> n8ofsp8ds: im sure you have the final release than
[19:11] <stlsaint> or you could just download the final release and do a fresh install
[19:11] <n8ofsp8ds> lol ya i put to much work into this install
[19:13] <stlsaint> n8ofsp8ds: yea the final release isnt going to be some massive change from the rc's
[19:13] <n8ofsp8ds> well the purple screen look dumb down
[19:13] <Mjiig> if i understand correctly the upgrade through the update manager is not yet available
[19:13] <stlsaint> so did mine after an update
[19:14] <stlsaint> n8ofsp8ds: run command: cat /etc/issue
[19:15] <n8ofsp8ds> ok
[19:15] <n8ofsp8ds> Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l
[19:16] <stlsaint> well im not on my main install so i cant verify but i would assume its safe to say your on final release if you have been maintaing updates
[19:16] <n8ofsp8ds> yep
[19:17] <sebsebseb> !final | n8ofsp8ds
[19:17] <ubot2> n8ofsp8ds: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Karmic Koala and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Karmic. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console.
[19:18] <sebsebseb> ok that bot needs it factoid changed :D
[19:18] <stlsaint> W00T!
[19:18] <sebsebseb> n8ofsp8ds: change  Karmic to Maverick in the above factoid, and well theres your answer
[19:19] <sebsebseb> oh and the Kaola as well,  to  Meerkat
[19:20] <Mjiig> sebsebseb: are you sure that 10.10 is available through update-manager yet?
[19:20] <Mjiig> i recall some people on uf saying the option hadn't come up
[19:20] <sebsebseb> Mjiig: it is avaialble if change the thing
[19:20] <sebsebseb> so non  LTS releases show as well
[19:21] <Mjiig> ah okay
