[12:00] <sap> slartibartfast: i'm sorry, i don't think I'm going to be able to help you.
[12:01] <sap> if i remember the people who write the ipw2100 driver have an irc channel, perhaps you could ask them
=== idjit [[email protected]]  has left #ubuntu [] 
[12:02] <sap> slartibartfast: #ipw2100
[12:02] <jimi42> wep encryption is avaiable on ipw2200 drivers?
[12:04] <andred> Tomcat_, Hmm, so MRTG requires SNMP stuff?
[12:05] <andred> Sounds complex.
[12:05] <Tomcat_> andred: Not really... MRTG has a configure wizard that will do everything automatically.
[12:05] <hazmat> why is there a /usr/src/rpm directory.. is this some lsb cruft?
[12:05] <Tomcat_> But yes, it needs SNMP.
[12:08] <andred> Tomcat_, What's that configuration wizard called? I've only seen examples using 'cfgmaker'.
=== tomeu [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[12:08] <Tomcat_> Yeah that's it.
[12:10] <andred> Ok. I didn't quite understand the community string you're supposed to use as an argument, but I guess I'll have to read up on it.

[12:15] <tomeu> good night, i'm getting desperate trying to install ubuntu along with windows xp
[12:15] <tomeu> somebody here has managed to do that?
[12:15] <AprentisSorcerer> Yes
[12:16] <tomeu> how can i tell ubuntu's kernel the right number of heads my hd has?
[12:16] <tomeu> he thinks i have only 16, when i have 255
[12:17] <tomeu> have tried with custom-expert hda=4997,255,63, but it doesn't works
[12:17] <AprentisSorcerer> Unfortunately, I don't know that kind of answer. It got detected properly on my machine.
=== asdf_ [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[12:17] <tomeu> and then grub and lilo fail to install
[12:17] <asdf_> hi are there any mplayer packages for ubuntu
[12:17] <tomeu> can you tell me how do you have partitioned your hard disk?
[12:17] <asdf_> totem doesnt work
=== Capri [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[12:18] <AprentisSorcerer> I have used Ranish Partition Manager.  I have 2 hd, and I installed Ubuntu on hdb1 (/boot), hdb2 (swap) and hdb3 (/)
=== odwa [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[12:18] <tomeu> ok, i see
[12:18] <AprentisSorcerer> I partitioned before with Ranish, then just selected the partitioned I wanted by using the expert mode.
=== phin [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[12:18] <tomeu> i suppose my problem only happens with them on the same hd
[12:19] <phin> would removing xfree 4.4 or whatever is in ubuntu and going down to 3.3.6 mess up dependancies?
[12:19] <AprentisSorcerer> Even if /boot is on the second drive, grub detected Win-XP (on hda1) properly and it works well.
[12:19] <tomeu> have read a lot about this problem with fedora and suse, but haven't had any success
[12:20] <LinuxJones> asdf, >> http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/FrequentlyAskedQuestions see #2 section 4 they are in the marillat repo
[12:20] <tomeu> yes, has something to do with one os thinking the disk has on geometry and the other another one
=== kremlyn [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[12:20] <AprentisSorcerer> tomey, I am not a very advanced user, so there are a lot of questions I cannot answer.
[12:21] <asdf_> thanks LinuxJones
=== tuppa [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[12:21] <tomeu> ok, thank you anyway
[12:21] <tomeu> will keep trying for a while
[12:21] <AprentisSorcerer> ur welcome
=== kremlyn` [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[12:22] <phin> ?? anyone
[12:23] <LinuxJones> asdf_, ;)
[12:24] <sap> tomeu: what errors do you get from grub and lilo?
[12:25] <tomeu> sap: grub tells me that the file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly
[12:25] <tomeu> when i do grub-install
=== jimi42 [[email protected]]  has left #ubuntu [] 
[12:25] <sap> tomeu: what about lilo?
[12:26] <tomeu> sap: and lilo tells me that if i write the partition record to 0x06 (or something like that) in the device 0x007 (...) it can make windows don't boot anymore
[12:27] <tomeu> don't know the exact numbers, but was something along that
[12:28] <tomeu> sap: when i execute sfdisk with -g, it says that the kernel thinks that the disk has 16 heads
[12:30] <phin> so there is no way to downgrade to xserver 3.3.6 safely?
[12:30] <sap> tomeu: i have seen the kernel report two identical disks as having different number of heads, so *i* wouldn't worry too much about that. 
[12:31] <sap> tomeu:  and i did get problems with the grub-install when i install ubuntu, but managed to boot using lilo instead
[12:31] <tomeu> sap: did you had windows and ubuntu on the same disk?
[12:32] <sap> yes, i have xp, ubuntu and debian on one disk
=== q2 [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu

[12:42] <jgeorgeson> LinuxJones, I mean putting the computer into suspend mode. when i close the lid, it just turns of the lcd. in windows it does into suspend mode.

[12:52] <blur> if i start qauke ... and change resolution or load a mod or re quake3 ... x crash
[12:52] <HrdwrBoB> andril: that is somewhat old - the latest ubuntu is the daily release CDs
[12:53] <HrdwrBoB> blur: are you using nvidias glx modules etc that you know of?
[12:53] <blur> yes
[12:53] <HrdwrBoB> does glxinfo confirm that?
[12:53] <blur> i read the readme ... tryed export __GL_SINGLE_THREADED=1
[12:54] <andril> HrdwrBoB: so which is the newest of the 2? I have one that has Ubuntu - then one with the Zebra skin

[12:56] <hartbrkr> how do I make ubuntu boot to textmode instead of graphical login?
[12:56] <andril> Kamion: which is newer? The one with the Ubuntu or the Zebra skin?
[12:57] <Kamion> andril: the zebra theme is ancient
[12:57] <blur> ctrl+alt+f1 hartbrkr
[12:57] <blur> first logo out
[12:57] <blur> log
[12:57] <andril> well that one is on the link you provided earlier
[12:57] <hartbrkr> blur: is there any way to shut down X completely?
[12:58] <blur> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ?
[12:58] <blur> << hey im a newb to so dont ask to much :)
[12:58] <HrdwrBoB> hartbrkr: you can stop gdm from starting if you like
[12:58] <HrdwrBoB> blur is correct though
[12:58] <HrdwrBoB> :)
[12:58] <andril> the one I am using came from the main site - 
[12:58] <blur> \0/
[12:59] <Kamion> andril: the zebra one is on the /sounder-test/8/ link
[12:59] <blur> but no one has a solution for my crash x problem after quake 3? :(
[12:59] <Kamion> andril: which the mail I linked to explicitly says was a typo
[01:00] <hartbrkr> blur what do I do to get back to graphical?
[01:00] <Kamion> andril: please read the mail in more details
[01:00] <Kamion> detail
[01:00] <blur> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[01:00] <blur> else try xstart 
[01:01] <hartbrkr> blur: so ctrl-alt-f1 actually stops X ? 
[01:01] <andril> Kamion: "read the mail?" - i got this from the main FTP - should I subscribe?
=== rapha_al1 [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:01] <blur> no
[01:01] <blur> that put you in your "text mode"
[01:01] <blur> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop 
[01:01] <Kamion> 23:57 < andril> well that one is on the link you provided earlier
[01:01] <Kamion> andril: please elaborate.
[01:01] <blur> stops x 
[01:02] <HrdwrBoB> hartbrkr: the only way to properly stop X is by stoppin gdm - otherwise it's automatically restarte4d
[01:02] <HrdwrBoB> -4
[01:02] <blur> :P
[01:02] <Kamion> andril: I linked to http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2004-September/002384.html, which has two incorrect links and two correct links. Read the text of that page to find out which is which.
[01:03] <t35t0r> you can stop xdm
=== Freedomzen [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:03] <t35t0r> well if you stop xdm it might not come back up
[01:03] <blur> linux people can type fast how come :P
[01:03] <Phr0stByte> heh
[01:03] <hartbrkr> is there any way to stop gdm from starting at all at boot time? i thought you could just change the runlevel in /etc/inittab ??
=== Serenity^ [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:03] <Freedomzen> hey all has anyone succesfully built xorg-cvs on ubuntu
[01:03] <Kamion> mv /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm /etc/rc2.d/s99gdm
[01:03] <HrdwrBoB> blur when you spend all day at a keybaor dyou have to hope that somehting comes out of it
[01:04] <blur> :)
[01:04] <HrdwrBoB> Freedomzen: unlikely
[01:04] <HrdwrBoB> hartbrkr: you can remove gdm from the runlebel
[01:04] <HrdwrBoB> runlevel
[01:04] <Freedomzen> HrdwrBoB: hrrrm seems to be building fine now
[01:04] <HrdwrBoB> there's a program to run but I forget what it is
[01:04] <blur> HrdwrBoB, you have an id for my problem ? 
[01:04] <HrdwrBoB> blur:join #flood
[01:04] <HrdwrBoB> and paste glxinfo
[01:05] <HrdwrBoB> hartbrkr: sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm
[01:06] <hartbrkr> does ubuntu come with gcc compiler? I'm trying to install vmware-tools package cause i'm running linux in vmware, but I keep running into problems with it
[01:06] <Kamion> hartbrkr: gcc is on the CD but not installed by default
[01:06] <HrdwrBoB> it does not install by default
[01:06] <Kamion> install the gcc-3.3 package
[01:06] <Freedomzen> hartbrkr: no
[01:06] <hartbrkr> Kamion: will I have to install anything else or will all the dependencies be fixed?

=== tomeu [[email protected]]  has left #ubuntu [] 
[01:07] <Kamion> hartbrkr: if you use a package management front-end like synaptic, it'll do most of it for you; but you probably want to install libc6-dev as well
=== tomeu [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:07] <tomeu> sap: thank you very much, it worked like a charm!

[01:09] <Phr0stByte> Kamion: It would be nice if you could choose more than one locale at installation time...
[01:10] <andril> Kamino: is it hard to upgrade?
[01:10] <andril> Kamion: is it hard to upgrade?
[01:11] <HrdwrBoB> andril: it's almost trivial :)
[01:11] <HrdwrBoB> you can either upgrade with synaptic
[01:11] <HrdwrBoB> or on the command line, using apt-get
[01:11] <andril> really?
[01:11] <HrdwrBoB> yes
[01:11] <andril> I was wondering if I had to do a full install again?
[01:12] <hartbrkr> Kamion: should I install the package "gcc" or "gcc-3.3" or "gcc-3,4" ??? "gcc-3.3-base" is already installed
[01:12] <andril> I like Synaptics alot
[01:12] <andril> is there a path to update to the newer builds?
[01:13] <andril> Kamion: Thanks for the info - getting the Sep 2004 build now
[01:13] <HrdwrBoB> andril: click 'Mark All Upgrades'
[01:13] <andril> ok
[01:13] <HrdwrBoB> and it will mark all upgradable packages
=== smeg [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:13] <andril> ok
[01:13] <smeg> yo
[01:13] <socomm> Why would anyone use synaptic?
[01:13] <Capri> hartbrkr: gcc depends on gcc-3.3 and is such a pseudo package
[01:13] <andril> shouldn't be too hard
[01:14] <Capri> hartbrkr: I think
=== burner [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:14] <bradfa> hey all
[01:14] <smeg> hi brad
[01:15] <hartbrkr> Capri: so which one should I install? "gcc", "gcc-3.3" or "gcc-3.4" ?
[01:15] <andril> this is a good turn for me :)
[01:15] <Kamion> Phr0stByte: there's a bug about that I think, but it's not feasible within the design of d-i as it stands; you can 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' after installation to select extra locales
[01:15] <t35t0r> 3.2
=== zenwhen [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:15] <Kamion> hartbrkr: just 'gcc' is fine
[01:15] <Capri> install gcc and you'll have always the default gcc version which is 3.3 now
[01:16] <andril> it's almost done - these SATA drives eat up data 10x's FASTER
[01:16] <socomm> hartbrkr, 3.4
[01:16] <zenwhen> For the life of me I cannot get a dialup connection tow ork in Ubuntu, or an Xserver started.
[01:16] <HrdwrBoB> andril: and by 10x, you mean 1x
[01:16] <Capri> socomm: lol
[01:16] <zenwhen> to work*
[01:16] <Kamion> socomm: synaptic's our standard desktop package manager; I'm trying to get into the habit of pointing to it for people I don't already know are comfortable with terminals
[01:17] <burner> does gaim's away window minimize for anyone else?
[01:17] <burner> it used to in kde for me, but won't in gnome
[01:18] <jgeorgeson> how do i stop certain modules from being loaded at boot?
=== dols|afk is now known as dolson
[01:18] <andril> well the Ubuntu install only took under 2min - i thought it was fast
=== jahtooth [[email protected]]  has left #ubuntu [] 
[01:18] <phin> is there anyway to downgrade, safely, to xserver 3.3.6?
[01:18] <HrdwrBoB> phin: no.
[01:19] <phin> :-\
[01:19] <HrdwrBoB> X 3.3 is many years old now
[01:19] <HrdwrBoB> why do you need this?
[01:19] <phin> older hardware
[01:19] <t35t0r> newer x will run on older hardware
[01:19] <Capri> jgeorgeson: depends on how they are loaded ...  maybe remove them from /etc/modules or blacklist them if hotplugged
[01:19] <phin> yes but it feels slower
=== burner wonders if x.org will be any faster
[01:20] <HrdwrBoB> phin: is this a back to back comparison?
[01:20] <phin> yes
[01:20] <t35t0r> xorg is not nay faster
[01:20] <phin> i ran debian on here before
[01:20] <phin> with just 3.3.6 and it felt alot faster
[01:20] <phin> i also cant figure out how to remove xft all together
[01:20] <andril> HrdwrBoB: so your install was faster that 2 min?
[01:20] <Phr0stByte> Kamion: Thanx for the info
[01:21] <Serenity^> burner,  probly not noticeable,  and if ya use the compositing feature it'll slow down a lot, heh
[01:21] <Kamion> two minutes is *very* quick
[01:21] <andril> I thought so
[01:21] <Kamion> my amd64 box is quite fast but I don't think it's quite that good
[01:21] <Kamion> this must be only the first stage?
[01:21] <bradfa> burner: I don't have the ability to minimize gaim's away messages either
[01:21] <bradfa> I did in icewm with debian, but don't think I have ever been able to with gnome
[01:21] <t35t0r> the problem with most distro's is that they don't support older stuff very well because of the latest and greatest philosphy of package management'
[01:21] <jgeorgeson> Capri, already tried /etc/hotplug/blacklist. and they aren't listed in /etc/modules (modules in question are asus_acpi and toshiba_acpi)
[01:21] <HrdwrBoB> two minutes is barely enough time for a reboot
[01:22] <HrdwrBoB> and a CD boot
[01:22] <phin> hmm i suppose i could move back to debian
[01:22] <phin> i am diggin ubuntu thou
[01:22] <zenwhen> How does one install the kernel source for the default warty kernel without going online?
[01:22] <zenwhen> Is t on the cd?
[01:22] <zenwhen> it*
[01:22] <jgeorgeson> zenwhen, linux-source
[01:22] <Kamion> t35t0r: forget about that, it's more a matter of the total impracticality of keeping up security support for ancient versions of things like X forever
[01:22] <Kamion> zenwhen: the source isn't on the CD; the headers are
[01:23] <zenwhen> Oh
[01:23] <zenwhen> Menaing I cant compile the Nvidia driver against it
[01:23] <hartbrkr> i need to install the headers for the kernel sources ?? what package is this?
[01:23] <Kamion> headers should be enough to compile things like third-party network drivers
[01:23] <zenwhen> I cant get a dialup connection either.
[01:23] <andril> I have a total of 8 Maxtor 250GB SATA Ultra Series between my machines and they kick a**
[01:23] <t35t0r> Kamion, well there is always security vs speed, esp in phin's case ..i don't think he cares about security on that box
[01:23] <Kamion> t35t0r: most distributions cannot in good conscience release stuff they can't security-support.
[01:23] <zenwhen> Is there a guide somewhere for setting up dialup in Ubuntu?
[01:23] <phin> correct, its not to big of a deal
[01:24] <phin> i mean, its a slow machine anywya
[01:24] <Kamion> it's not up to us whether users care about security ...
[01:24] <phin> k6-2 300 64 megs of mem
[01:24] <t35t0r> Kamion, heh latest and greatest
[01:24] <t35t0r> i wouldn't use any distro for such an old system
[01:24] <andril> I have a question... can I use Ubuntu as a mainstream OS? (let go M$ and Bad Apples)
[01:24] <phin> what do you mean?
[01:24] <t35t0r> well i would probably use a distro'
[01:25] <t35t0r> but then compile X myself
[01:25] <phin> debian was great :)
[01:25] <bradfa> I'm having trouble setting up my HP LaserJet 1300 printer, I can't seem to get the printer config to actually change to US Letter, it defaults to A4 and the resulting print outs are not what I want
[01:25] <t35t0r> if you want something older
[01:25] <t35t0r> or get the binary if you have it
[01:25] <Kamion> andril: well, that's part of the point of Ubuntu ...
[01:25] <phin> had xserver 3.3.6
[01:25] <phin> ya
[01:25] <phin> but the problem then
[01:25] <andril> alright!!!!!!
[01:25] <bradfa> Even when I change the gnome printer config to say US Letter, it still is trying to print on A4 paper
[01:25] <phin> is packages break

[01:27] <jgeorgeson> Capri, all the output during boot, is that logged somewhere? I might be to able to find out from that, as it's part of a block (there's one line that has the ok/fail, then a bunch of sub items starting with * before the next line with ok/fail)

[01:30] <jgeorgeson> hi OrangeSlice
[01:30] <LinuxJones> hi Orange
[01:30] <OrangeSlice> I seem to have, er... deleted my gnome panel
[01:30] <HrdwrBoB> OrangeSlice: oops :)
[01:30] <zenwhen> Has anyone in here used ubuntu with a 6800 series Nvidia card?
[01:30] <OrangeSlice> yes, indeed
[01:31] <jgeorgeson> OrangeSlice, all of them? i didn't think it would let you delete them all
[01:31] <phin> ya it does
[01:31] <OrangeSlice> no, just the one that displays running applications and such
[01:31] <phin> ah
=== xskoulax [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:31] <phin> right click on the top one
[01:31] <t35t0r> zenwhen, is there something particular with the 6800 that makes it work differently in linux than say a 5500 ?
[01:31] <phin> goto add panel
[01:31] <phin> then right click on the new panel
[01:31] <phin> and there should be a task toolbar or something
[01:32] <zenwhen> t35t0r, Im wondering wy Ubuntu gives the message that it will ignore the PCI device 01:00:0 (my 6800) on boot.
[01:32] <zenwhen> why*
=== TongMaster [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:32] <OrangeSlice> aha, hooray
[01:32] <OrangeSlice> thank you
[01:32] <phin> np
[01:33] <t35t0r> zenwhen, first is there anything wrong with your setup ..are you getting an X display?
[01:33] <Capri> jgeorgeson: I have it
[01:33] <zenwhen> t35t0r, not that i know of.
[01:33] <jgeorgeson> OrangeSlice, that panel had "Window List", "Trash Applet", and "Show Desktop" applets
[01:34] <zenwhen> It said that the first time I booted ubuntu
[01:34] <Phr0stByte> zenwhen: nope - I have a FX 5200  =(
[01:34] <zenwhen> I have two issues blocking me from even being able to decide whether I like Ubuntu.
[01:34] <jgeorgeson> Capri, the solution? or you get those modules loaded too?
[01:34] <OrangeSlice> yeah, I just finished a dist-upgrade, then deleted my panel.  haha
[01:34] <zenwhen> Cant start X. Cant configure dialup.
[01:34] <t35t0r> well that has nothing to dowith ubuntu
[01:35] <Capri> jgeorgeson: have a look at /etc/default/acpid You must replace MODULES="all" with MODULES="battery ac processor button fan thermal"
[01:35] <t35t0r> zenwhen, that might be a kernel issue
[01:35] <zenwhen> The dialup configuration issue is certaily ubuntu.
[01:35] <[rain] > Hm, I've found an error in the swedish keymaps that comes with ubuntu. I don't know if this is the place to turn? the key on the left side of the "Z"-key is dead.
[01:35] <t35t0r> zenwhen, you have a winmodem?
[01:35] <zenwhen> I give it all of the correct information that works perfectly in Slackware and it doesnt work.
[01:35] <jrydberg_> Hmm.  I can't get swedish characters in the terminal.
[01:35] <t35t0r> zenwhen, ahh...
[01:35] <jrydberg_> They work in GTK/GNOME applications, though.  Strange.
[01:36] <zenwhen> Why, as a linux user would I have a winmodem?
[01:36] <zenwhen> lolz
=== sivang [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:36] <t35t0r> zenwhen, many people do
[01:36] <zenwhen> yeah
[01:36] <t35t0r> zenwhen, and what is "it"
[01:36] <zenwhen> I want to try Ubuntu because Pat is dropping Gnome from Slackware
[01:36] <HrdwrBoB> [rain] : file a bug
[01:36] <zenwhen> I cant support a man who wont support Gnome
[01:36] <phin> good man
[01:36] <phin> gnome is the shit
[01:36] <t35t0r> slackware is dropping gnome?
[01:36] <phin> wish i could run it on here
[01:36] <phin> lol
[01:36] <Capri> jgeorgeson: you find the existing modules in ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/acpi/
[01:36] <phin> fluxbox for me!
[01:36] <zenwhen> Oh the modem works fine in Ubuntu. the configuration for the actual handshake does not.
[01:36] <phin> lol
[01:37] <zenwhen>  cant figure out whats so different about pon
[01:37] <t35t0r> zenwhen, a default handshake is atz
[01:38] <zenwhen> yeah
[01:38] <zenwhen> I know
[01:38] <zenwhen> Its just odd.
[01:38] <jgeorgeson> Capri: cool, rebooting now to confirm
[01:38] <zenwhen> The exact config that works in slack and with redhat based OS's does not work in Ubuntu
[01:38] <zenwhen> Whoich makes me think pon is tossing in something its not telling me.
[01:38] <t35t0r> what prog are you using to dial
[01:38] <zenwhen> pon
[01:38] <Capri> you can try a rmmod toshiba_acpi 
[01:38] <Capri> and a sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart
[01:39] <[rain] > jrydberg_: you have to set a keymap specifically for the console
[01:40] <jrydberg_> [rain] : Same for xterm? 
[01:40] <t35t0r> zenwhen, can you use /dev/tty* to communicate with the modem?
[01:40] <[rain] > jrydberg_: yep
[01:41] <zenwhen> Oh
[01:41] <zenwhen> yes
[01:41] <t35t0r> i don't see why it shouldn't work using the same program
[01:41] <jgeorgeson> Capri, seems to have worked
[01:41] <zenwhen> Oh no
[01:41] <t35t0r> if you can do it manually why wouldn't it work with pon
[01:41] <zenwhen> With Slackware I use ppp-go
[01:41] <zenwhen> Its a slackware util
[01:42] <zenwhen> With redhat based distos I used wvdial.
[01:42] <t35t0r> can't you use it ubuntu?
[01:42] <zenwhen> wvdial doesnt seem to be instaled in ubuntu
[01:42] <Capri> jgeorgeson: ok. no orange stars in boot anymore ;o)
[01:42] <jgeorgeson> Capri, none indeed. thanks
[01:43] <Kamion> zenwhen: current builds install wvdial
[01:43] <t35t0r> If you are using Debian GNU/Linux, try using pppconfig  or wvdial (highly recommended). Once you have this set up, you just run pon and poff to start and stop your dialup connection.
=== normnmiles [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:43] <zenwhen> It seems most distros are forgetting that 53% of america still uses dialup.
[01:43] <jgeorgeson> ok, so now that I have that done, anyone know a good resource for getting into acpi so i can try and get my laptop to suspend and hibernate?
[01:43] <zenwhen> I bet its more so in less developed countries.
=== anonobomber [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:43] <t35t0r> is there a pppconfig?
[01:43] <anonobomber> MepisBelle: troll!
[01:43] <zenwhen> Yeah
[01:44] <t35t0r> that's the main part
[01:44] <t35t0r> make sure that is properly setup
=== makkia [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:44] <zenwhen> pppconfig works, but creates a non working configuration that fails the handshake with my ISP/
[01:44] <zenwhen> thats my issue
[01:44] <MepisBelle> anonobomber: Guilty - but a courteous one.
[01:44] <t35t0r> zenwhen, what's your isp?
[01:44] <Capri> http://acpi.sourceforge.net/
[01:44] <zenwhen> Bellsouth.
[01:44] <t35t0r> zenwhen, ahh that should work with regular ppp
[01:44] <zenwhen> Which I am connected to in Slackware right now.
=== makkia [[email protected]]  has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] 
[01:45] <t35t0r> zenwhen, when you say "fails handshake with ISP" do you mean that the modem works but it can't negotiate PPP with the PPP server or that your modem just doesn't work ?
=== anonobomber [[email protected]]  has left #ubuntu ["Better] 
[01:46] <zenwhen> I mean the modem works perfectly, starts the handshake, and then gives a random error every time. 
[01:46] <zenwhen> It changes depeneding on its mood I guess.
[01:46] <zenwhen> Its so annoying to go in there and have no internet and try to troubleshoot something I know nothing about.
[01:46] <zenwhen> lol
[01:47] <zenwhen> ppp-setup was much more straighforward and created a working config the first time
[01:48] <t35t0r> zenwhen, ls -l /etc/ppp
[01:49] <zenwhen> perhaps I could copy my entire /etc/ppp over and pray
[01:49] <zenwhen> lol

[01:57] <thk> ah, nice
[01:57] <wm_eddie> Although I don't really agree with that damn Trusted computing technology....

=== anders_ [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:57] <t35t0r> you can get a good generic one also
[01:58] <t35t0r> i have a ECS G736 ..its a good desktop replacement ..except i somehow fried the internal PRISM3 wireless device using linux-wlan-ng
[01:58] <wm_eddie> It's because of that Trusted Computing chip that I'm not buying an IBM next year.
[01:58] <t35t0r> wm_eddie, you can opt not to use trusted computing
=== phosphorgreen [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[01:58] <wm_eddie> t35t0r: What do you mean?
[01:58] <wm_eddie> not have it installed?
[01:58] <phosphorgreen> lo every1
[01:59] <t35t0r> wm_eddie, not have it enabled?
[01:59] <t35t0r> wm_eddie, which model are you talking about?
[01:59] <zenwhen> wm_eddie, its not something that prevents you from using your computer how you want no matter what
[01:59] <wm_eddie> If I can have a laptop with one or without one, I'll chose the one without one.
[01:59] <phosphorgreen> can i just say for the record that ubuntu-i386 runs a lot better than ubuntu-amd64

[01:59] <t35t0r> wm_eddie, that's just paranoia

[01:59] <t35t0r> phosphorgreen, on amd64 i presume...
[02:00] <phosphorgreen> i have an amd64 yes
[02:00] <t35t0r> phosphorgreen, its the code ...
[02:00] <t35t0r> phosphorgreen, that's a generality which really doesn't make sense
[02:00] <MepisBelle> Nice review of Mepis Linux for anyone interested:  http://lnxg.ca/reviews/smepis2004/
[02:00] <t35t0r> i wouldn't use a binary only distro for amd64
[02:00] <wm_eddie> t35t0r: It's no paranoia, I won't be using any programs that would use the TC chip.  But I diagree with everything it stands for.
[02:00] <phosphorgreen> the reliability of i386 is much better than the 64bit release
[02:00] <wm_eddie> and you should too.
[02:01] <t35t0r> wm_eddie, i'm not saying i don't ..but there may come a time when you cannot find one without it
[02:01] <phosphorgreen> things are crashing all the time and i cant download and get libs/compiler to work correctly
[02:01] <phosphorgreen> but i386 version appears to load apps faster and runs flawlessly
[02:01] <Kamion> phosphorgreen: have you filed bugs? seriously, we need to know details of this kind of thing in order to fix it
[02:01] <MepisBelle> Someone needs to get Linuxgruven to review Ub untu.
[02:01] <Kamion> bugzilla is our to-do list; if it's not in bugzilla, it isn't on our list of stuff to fix :)
[02:02] <t35t0r> wm_eddie, trusted computing is the analog of the patriot act
[02:02] <phosphorgreen> Kamion: yes, i have ran bugzilla when bugzilla it's self wasnt crashing
[02:02] <wm_eddie> t35t0r: I hope that day never comes.  I'm not saying I won't buy one, but I'd rather not if I can.
[02:02] <t35t0r> wm_eddie, give us your freedom and we'll make sure you are secure
[02:03] <wm_eddie> Because in reality it doesn't affect me.

=== Phr0stByte has to log in via bioscan at work...

[02:04] <wm_eddie> or (where I will be going) Japan.
[02:04] <t35t0r> wm_eddie, that's not simply "turning it off" ...and i still think living in the US is much better than any other country
[02:04] <t35t0r> not that i've lived anywhere else really
[02:04] <t35t0r> heh
[02:04] <thk> just get an ibook instead :)
[02:04] <t35t0r> wm_eddie, just get a generic like an ecs or acer or whatever

[02:06] <wm_eddie> t35t0r: to show it off :p
[02:06] <thk> does SATA run more smooth of a lilo or grub-boot? or does it make any diffrence at all?
[02:07] <wm_eddie> But, the IBM X series has nearly 7.5 hours of battery life :(
[02:07] <t35t0r> wow that's cheap!!!

[02:50] <jgeorgeson> phosphorgreen, is it a blank CDR[W] ,? has it possibly been formatted with UDF?
[02:50] <phosphorgreen> no ive tried many types of different disks, all CDR
[02:51] <jgeorgeson> phoshorgreen, what if you open a nautilus window and type `burn:` in the location?
[02:52] <phosphorgreen> jgeorgeson: i dont seem to have a location bar in nautilus for gnome 2.8, is this normal?
[02:52] <phosphorgreen> btw is this all to do with spatial browsing? its a pain in the ass
[02:52] <jgeorgeson> phosphorgreen, the location missing is because of spatial, but i would have thought the burn interface still functional
[02:53] <jgeorgeson> phosphorgreen, is there a menu to open a file browser?
[02:53] <phosphorgreen> if i click in Computer 'Places' I can open the CD Creator window from there, which i guess is the same as burn:///
[02:53] <jgeorgeson> phosphorgreen, do you want to make the old browse interface the default (there's a pref checkbox for it)(sounds like that should be the same location)
[02:54] <phosphorgreen> jgeorgeson: yes, that would be great, where is the check box?
[02:54] <phosphorgreen> oh and why is spatial supposed to be better?
[02:55] <jgeorgeson> Computer->Desktop Preferences->File Management, Behavior Tab, under the first set of radio Buttons under "Behavior" is a checkbox "Always open in browser windows"
[02:56] <phosphorgreen> many thanks

[02:56] <jgeorgeson> because it more closely approximates how real folders are arranged in a filing cabinet (same location when you open the drawer, files in folder arranged the same way, etc)
[02:56] <phosphorgreen> uh-huh.
[02:57] <phosphorgreen> well it makes no sense to me.
[02:57] <jgeorgeson> well, they're right that it's closer to the real thing. but hardly anybody wants that same interface from their computer.

[02:58] <jgeorgeson> at least it didn't the last I knew, may have changed
[02:59] <mjr> I don't think it burns anything other than data

[03:07] <booger> could someone give me a hand with my k3b issue?
[03:07] <swoon> is there a command line browser like lynx installed in ubuntu by default?
[03:07] <swoon> if not whats the fastest way to install one real fast? dont hav emuch time
[03:07] <booger> FYI for other noobs, when I installed k3b using sudo I ran into errors
[03:08] <booger> so I enabled the root account (Im' too used to having one) and reinstalled k3b
[03:08] <jkg> swoon: w3m might be installed, otherwise apt-get install w3m
[03:08] <booger> all of the errors went away, including the DCOP error
[03:08] <jgeorgeson> booger, could be a permissions issue. i think i've read to run `sudo k3b` or `sudo k3bsetup` once first so that the permissions get set right
[03:09] <booger> really? I tried running k3bsetup with root but nothing happens
[03:09] <booger> let me give it a whirl

[03:11] <phosphorgreen> is there some rule or something in gnome 2.8 saying that the cdrw has to be cdrom1? Nautilus just doesn't recognise my cdrw as a cdrw, it thinks its a cdrom

[03:18] <phosphorgreen> avar: yes, synaptic
[03:18] <ranman> avar: synaptic..
[03:18] <swoon> from recovery command line can I get to runlevel 5 ?
[03:18] <phosphorgreen> why runlevel 5? u sure not 2?
[03:18] <ranman> ctl-D
[03:18] <mjr> by the way, were the known amd64 bugs weeded out from the socket 939 ones, anyone?
[03:19] <swoon> phosphorgreen:  whatever I need to be to install the nvidia driver
[03:19] <ranman> if you are in recovery, when you get out, then you go to the default runlevel..
[03:19] <phosphorgreen> I did this:
[03:19] <phosphorgreen> init 1
[03:19] <phosphorgreen> took me to initlevel 1
[03:19] <phosphorgreen> then init 2
[03:19] <phosphorgreen> took me back to gdm
=== jimerich [[email protected]]  has left #ubuntu [] 
[03:19] <phosphorgreen> and the nvidia drivers 'splash' screen came up
[03:19] <ranman> init 2 is default for Debian.. It is the runlevel 5 for Redhat..
[03:20] <swoon> hmm I need to install the driver without going into X first...
[03:20] <swoon> so if I just boot normal it starts x
=== ygnome [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[03:20] <avar> are there screenshots of this "synaptic" avalible somewhere?
[03:20] <phosphorgreen> swoon: did you apt-get the nvidia driver from the ubuntu repository or did u get the nvidia drivers from the nvidia.com site?
[03:21] <swoon> phosphorgreen: from nvidia.com
[03:21] <ygnome> avar: just load it, and see for yourself...
[03:21] <swoon> should I apt-get it?
[03:21] <phosphorgreen> swoon: i have apt-getted my current nvidia drivers (they appear to be the nvidia.com drivers).
[03:21] <avar> ygnome: i dont have ubuntu;), i was going to install it for a friend, thought mainline debian might be a little too much.
[03:21] <moyogo> avar: Computer > System Configuration > Synaptic
=== aitrus [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[03:21] <phosphorgreen> made a huge difference to 3d graphics
[03:21] <swoon> phosphorgreen:  what would the command be: apt-get nvidia ?
[03:22] <phosphorgreen> go into synaptic and search for nvidia
[03:22] <ygnome> avar: I'd agree with that if your friend is a linux newbie.
[03:22] <moyogo> avar: http://www.nongnu.org/synaptic/action.html
[03:22] <swoon> phosphorgreen: just "synaptic nvidia" ?
[03:22] <phosphorgreen> err, no, click on Computer > System Configuration > Synaptic
[03:22] <phosphorgreen> and search for nvidia within the program
[03:23] <swoon> phosphorgreen:  I cant get into X until I instll the nvidia driver see
[03:23] <avar> moyogo: nice, looks cool. And it will work just the same for debian packages if i change sources.list to something like debian testing ?
[03:23] <phosphorgreen> swoon: no, go into x and forget the nvidia driver you got from nvidia.com
[03:23] <phosphorgreen> use apt
[03:23] <phosphorgreen> it is your friend
[03:23] <booger> that's the problem, no devices found within k3b because I haven't run k3bsetup
[03:23] <booger> damn
[03:23] <ygnome> avar: it will, but u shouldn't do that
[03:23] <moyogo> avar: yeah synaptic should work on debian, just like apt does
[03:23] <avar> ygnome: why?
[03:23] <swoon> phosphorgreen:  I cannot use x without the new driver! simply cannot see the screen without the new driver...
[03:24] <avar> well assuming i want to change the entire system to mainline debian of course.
[03:24] <booger> has anyone here isntalled k3b using the root account??
[03:24] <ygnome> avar:  differnet sources will conflict
[03:24] <jgeorgeson> swoon, synaptic is a gui tool, from command line, you could use `apt-get update; apt-cache search nvidia` and then `apt-get install <name> using whatever package name you got from the apt-cache command
[03:24] <moyogo> avar: do you mean to use debian apt sources in ubuntu?
[03:24] <swoon> great thank you jgeorgeson 
[03:24] <jgeorgeson> swoon, i'm surprised the open source nv driver doesn't work at all on your card
[03:24] <swoon> brb
[03:24] <ygnome> avar: I'm not sure an 'upgrade to debian' will work.
[03:24] <avar> I mean can one change an ubuntu install to a debian one,
[03:24] <avar> hmm..
[03:24] <moyogo> avar: the opposite has been done
[03:25] <phosphorgreen> swoon: apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-dev nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-settings
[03:25] <phosphorgreen> that should install all the nvidia stuff
[03:25] <ygnome> avar: if you have time, and know what u are doing, it _might_ work, but I strongly doubt it.
[03:25] <moyogo> avar: why not just install debian?
[03:25] <ranman> swoon: apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-settings 
[03:25] <phosphorgreen> but you should get X even without the nvidi drivers
[03:25] <jgeorgeson> avar, the problem is packages of the same name and version in different repositories, apt doesn't handle it well. if you enable the universe repo you will get most of the debian testing archive (i think testing is the right one)
[03:25] <avar> moyogo: Well i was going to use ubuntu, but having the option to switch to debian later would be nice.
[03:26] <HrdwrBoB> avar: you won't want to switch, and it's not recommended
[03:26] <HrdwrBoB> that said
[03:26] <moyogo> avar: hmmm, but ubuntu is sort of based on debian
[03:26] <HrdwrBoB> it's technically vaguely possible
[03:26] <HrdwrBoB> I have done it to a point
=== haggai_ [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[03:27] <jgeorgeson> HrdwrBoB, he was probably just bs'ing, but i read a post on /. of a guy saying he installed apt on redhat, and converted to a debian box with crufty rh stuff left over
[03:27] <HrdwrBoB> um
[03:27] <Phr0stByte> HrdwrBoB: me to - by accident (first exoerience with apt-get)
[03:27] <HrdwrBoB> you might be able to do that
[03:27] <avar> HrdwrBoB: how does ubuntu's repository compare with debians? A lot of software?
[03:27] <HrdwrBoB> but you would have to be some sort of retard :)
[03:27] <booger> yea , you can also install portage on RH
[03:28] <HrdwrBoB> avar: it has most everything you need
[03:28] <Kosai> avar: They've rebuilt the debian repository for ubuntu, and named it "universe".
[03:28] <Ex-Cyber> universe is a snapshot, correct?
[03:28] <Ex-Cyber> i.e. it doesn't track debian unstable?
[03:29] <Ex-Cyber> not continually anyhow
[03:29] <ranman> HrdwrBob: You are definitely someone that I would go to when I need my spirits lifted.. haha
[03:29] <HrdwrBoB> yes and it was never unstable
[03:29] <HrdwrBoB> it was from testing
[03:29] <HrdwrBoB> ranman: I'm a very straightforward person :)
[03:30] <HrdwrBoB> while universe isn't actively supported, it does accept patches to fix things
[03:31] <booger> any way I can get rid of this ICE shit
[03:31] <booger> it kept me from loggin in earlier
[03:31] <booger> so I renamed it in the failsafe
[03:32] <booger> now it

[03:33] <booger> no the ICEauthority
[03:34] <booger> I wnet through that whole bit to install k3b, it didn't work
=== defendguin [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu

[03:34] <jgeorgeson> booger, when running as root?
[03:34] <booger> but, no burner device found
[03:34] <booger> no
[03:34] <booger> if I run as root, it finds the burner but doesn't fine cdrdao
[03:34] <booger> so I'm screwed both ways
[03:35] <booger> I can't get k3bsetup to load at all
[03:35] <Phr0stByte> booger: any reason your hell-bent on k3b?
[03:36] <booger> I've tried em all, k3b is well worth it, IMO
[03:36] <alexg> DMA doesn't seem to be working on my optical drive and the IDE hard drive.  hdparm -d1 /dev/hdX doesn't work.
[03:36] <alexg> However, the proper IDE module is loaded.
[03:36] <Phr0stByte> booger: Do you use Gnome?
[03:36] <booger> I need dvd burner/copying  capability
[03:36] <booger> oh yes, Gnome only
[03:36] <jgeorgeson> booger, have you checked the ubuntu bugzilla for k3b bugs? maybe you're hitting one none of us know about (seems not too many other people here use it)
[03:37] <booger> no I haven't, I will though.

[03:38] <jgeorgeson> Phr0stByte, neat0
[03:38] <Phr0stByte> and data
[03:39] <jgeorgeson> bob2, i thought it did if you enable universe

[03:40] <booger> I also d-load a concert or movie from time to time, k3b makes it easy
[03:40] <alexg> But hdparm -d1 isn't permitted on either of the IDE devices in my machine.
[03:40] <jgeorgeson> alexg, you are running it with sudo, or in a root shell?

[03:40] <HrdwrBoB> yes
[03:40] <jgeorgeson> booger, y
[03:40] <booger> cool
[03:41] <alexg> Sudo, of course.
[03:41] <Phr0stByte> Nautilus burning is simpler - believe me. Try it once and you will laugh at the simplicity
[03:41] <alexg>  sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc -> HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
[03:42] <jgeorgeson> alexg, i assumed so, just thought i'd check. i don't much about tweaking hardware settings
[03:42] <booger> Let me give it try PB
[03:43] <jgeorgeson> Phr0stByte, does it do audio CDs?
[03:43] <jgeorgeson> booger, the gnome CD ripping tool is sound-juicer
[03:43] <Phr0stByte> jgeorgeson: Have not tried that yet - I was using k3b before
[03:43] <booger> OK
[03:44] <booger> I'm using the nautilus burner app now
[03:46] <booger> man, that is simple
[03:46] <jgeorgeson> Phr0stByte, last I remember, it would burn audio CDs, but is a less than ideal tool for it. as you can't specify what order the tracks go (guess it just does alphabetical)
[03:46] <booger> can you do cd-text?
=== smeg__ [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[03:46] <booger> PB
[03:46] <booger> that was quick, all done

[03:52] <mjr> oh yeah, xcdroast is gtk 1.2 too
[03:52] <phosphorgreen> i used gtoaster which was fine, but it wont install on ubuntu

[03:53] <booger> not sure if it's still being maintained though
[03:53] <phosphorgreen> any idea why new apps installed by synaptic dont always make an icon in your applications list?
[03:54] <HrdwrBoB> phosphorgreen: that's depenant on the application

[04:01] <zenwhen> It appears running Ubuntu is going to be impossible on my machine. Configuring a dialup connection is not possible and getting X to work is not possible. For me at least. Both were five minute jobs in Slackware. Anyone configured an Nvidia 6800 or a Dialup modem in Ubuntu?
[04:01] <booger> I chose Ubuntu because it's Debian/apt.deb based and gnome 2.8

[04:02] <booger> but I think art.gnome.org has more

[04:03] <booger> it's no where near as large as it's kde counterpart
[04:03] <PenguinBoy> i prefer KDE
[04:03] <PenguinBoy> do you think they will be considering including KDE in the bxt Ubuntu release?

[04:31] <alexg> Anyone have any ideas on how to get DMA working on my IDE devices?  The proper modules are loaded (Specifically, via82cxxx), but sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc says the op is not allowed.
[04:31] <joem> tseng, etc=watching ATHF
=== khronic [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[04:32] <alexg> lspci gives some stuff like "0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 0282" that I think is indicative of whatever the problem is.
[04:32] <alexg> But aside from making sure the proper IDE module is loaded, I don't know what else to do.
[04:32] <t35t0r> alexg, what's the mobo
[04:32] <alexg> Asus A8V.
[04:32] <alexg> It worked under Gentoo.
[04:33] <t35t0r> it should work ..
[04:33] <alexg> All I had to do was make sure via82cxxx was in and I was golden.
[04:33] <t35t0r> are you sure it's /dev/hdc ?
[04:33] <alexg> The only other /dev/hdX in my machine is hda.
[04:33] <alexg> It's my dvd burner.
[04:33] <alexg> Neither has DMA on.
[04:33] <t35t0r> hehe you're primary is the dvd burner
=== alexg shrugs.
[04:34] <t35t0r> hda should be hdd
[04:34] <t35t0r> hdb could be a optical drive
[04:34] <alexg> It was that way in my old box (which I didn't put together) and in this one (which I did).
[04:34] <alexg> The letters don't matter to me.
[04:34] <alexg> DMA matters.
[04:34] <t35t0r> hahahahahhahaahhahaha
[04:35] <t35t0r> that's a strange configuration ..computers don't like being thrown curve balls
[04:35] <alexg> It worked just fine for years on the old machine.
[04:35] <alexg> It's worked just fine for the few months I've had the new one.
=== zenwhen [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[04:36] <t35t0r> unless its diskless
[04:36] <alexg> In any case, this isn't helping me figure out why it's not allowing me to turn on DMA despite via82cxxx being loaded.
[04:36] <t35t0r> it might not use that ide controller
[04:36] <t35t0r> lspci | grep IDE
[04:37] <t35t0r> usually it will tell you the IDE
[04:37] <t35t0r> i
[04:37] <alexg> 0000:00:0f.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06)
[04:37] <alexg> LIke I said.
[04:37] <alexg> The right module is in.
[04:37] <alexg> I swear to you.
[04:37] <t35t0r> ya but you were talking about "0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 0282" that I think is indicative of whatever the problem is.
[04:37] <t35t0r> that is not your IDE controller
[04:37] <t35t0r> that's probably the WIFI controller
[04:37] <t35t0r> for wifi upgrade
[04:38] <alexg> That makes sense.
[04:38] <t35t0r> if i had to guess
[04:38] <alexg> But that it recognizes the IDE controller just makes it all stranger.
=== cybrjackle is now known as acybrjackle
[04:38] <alexg> But sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc (or /dev/hda) still leads to HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
[04:38] <t35t0r> alexg, are you sure your IDE cable going into the drive can support DMA?
[04:38] <alexg> Yes.

[04:39] <t35t0r> are you sure its enabled in the bios? 
[04:39] <alexg> Yes.
[04:39] <alexg> I haven't messed with the BIOS in weeks.
[04:40] <alexg> That might be something to check though.
[04:40] <t35t0r> check it first

[04:46] <t35t0r> he's not root
[04:46] <t35t0r> he doesn't know what root is
[04:46] <socomm> JaymzRR, to install software you'll need to use the `sudo' command.
[04:47] <partially> you can use "sudo su" to get a root terminal
[04:47] <socomm> JaymzRR, for instance `sudo make install' or `sudo apt-get install something'
[04:47] <socomm> partially, Ubuntu is rootless, don't think you can really su.
[04:47] <partially> sudo su works :p
[04:47] <partially> su alone does not though
[04:48] <t35t0r> sudo /bin/bash ?
[04:48] <t35t0r> heh
[04:48] <t35t0r> is there an /etc/sudoers ?

[05:56] <Lathiat> extra flags in the control file or anything?
[05:56] <bob2> evilmegaman: it asks about 6 questions
[05:56] <theantix> evilmegaman, it's not pretty and graphical, but easy
[05:56] <alexg> Gentoo gets by on good docs.  Ubuntu doesn't make you build the whole thing yourself.  It asks some questions.
[05:56] <alexg> But not many.
[05:56] <Lathiat> i noticed some origin: Ubuntu and stuff in apt-cache shwo of some packages

[05:57] <evilmegaman> Oh and I can partition with it right? like make some partitions out of unallocated space or do I do I do that before I use the installation disc?
[05:57] <HrdwrBoB> evilmegaman: yes you can do that
[05:57] <evilmegaman> Ok :)
[05:57] <evilmegaman> awesome :D
=== Wsquared [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[05:58] <evilmegaman> 11 GB's enough for the install right?
[05:58] <fabbione> evilmegaman: 2 GB are more than ok
[05:58] <fabbione> 11 GB you can play a lot ;)
[05:58] <evilmegaman> Oh ok :)
[05:59] <Wsquared> Is there a gnome equivalent of the program kile? (An integrated Latex environment)
[05:59] <bob2> "emacs".
[05:59] <Wsquared> :-)
[05:59] <evilmegaman> should I have downloaded the the live CD or the warty CD?
[06:00] <bob2> evilmegaman: warty.
[06:00] <bob2> assuming you want to install it.
[06:00] <evilmegaman> alright cool :)
[06:03] <Wsquared> I guess I'll give kile a try... but I think this is the first intrusion of kstuff into my Ubuntu system.
[06:03] <theantix> anyone know if the live CD (on umn.edu dated oct 2) usable now?

[06:10] <q2> hey
[06:12] <crimsun> hullo
[06:14] <acf> so, guys, get this
[06:14] <acf> i want to mount some /dev/hd____ partitions from inside vmware. which i can do just fine, using mount and all. no big deal. works great. or almost great...
[06:15] <acf> i have to run mknod on each boot (i'm sure there's a way around this, i'll get to that soon)....
=== stub [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[06:15] <acf> but the real issue is that i can't run mount on any partitions until after i run fdisk on the drive
[06:15] <acf> like
[06:15] <acf> i don't have to *do* anything in fdisk
[06:15] <acf> i can just ctrl-c
[06:15] <bob2> that's a vmware bug, almost certainly
[06:15] <crimsun> what version of vmware workstation are you using?
[06:16] <acf> but otherwise, it says something like "mount: /dev/hda4 special device not present" or something
[06:16] <acf> 4.5.2-8848
[06:16] <crimsun> i was using ubuntu in workstation 4.5.2 with no problems
[06:16] <acf> hmm
[06:16] <acf> really?
[06:16] <bob2> a friend of mine installed ok with 4.5.2, too
=== zenwhen [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[06:16] <acf> the only other real thing i'm having is that it thinks single clicks are double-clicks
[06:16] <acf> but other than that, yeah, it's good
[06:17] <crimsun> have you installed vmware-tools or whatnot?
=== ish [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[06:17] <crimsun> that greatly improved performance for me

[06:18] <crimsun> ish: manpages-dev
[06:19] <ish> thanks.

[06:23] <sri> so..
[06:23] <sri> I'm having a bit of a problem..
[06:23] <sri> I'm trying to install rhythmbox but running to some issues
[06:24] <Lathiat> rhythmbox is installed by default afaik
[06:24] <Lathiat> it was for me
[06:24] <alexg> It is.
[06:24] <sri> o directories in update-desktop-database search path could be processed and updated.
[06:24] <alexg> I heart rhythmbox.
[06:24] <bob2> it is indeed.
[06:24] <sri> dpkg: error processing desktop-file-utils (--configure):
[06:24] <sri> how do I fix that?
[06:24] <sri>  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[06:24] <acf> actually, does one know off-hand how i can make my /dev/hd entries i create with mknod stick around after a reboot?
[06:24] <bob2> sri: this is during a fresh install?
[06:24] <sri> this is during a dist-upgrade
[06:24] <bob2> from sid?
[06:24] <Lathiat> acf: You have to create them again, what nodes are you creating, /dev/hdwhat?
[06:24] <sri> I have this problem with file-roller, rhythmbox, totem-gstreamer, and desktop-file-utils
[06:25] <sri> bob2: no, these are ubuntu pckages
[06:25] <Lathiat> acf: they should be created automagically
[06:25] <acf> Lathiat: hda, hdc, and hdd
[06:25] <sri> this is a fresh ubuntu install, but I've been upgrading/dist-upgrading practically everyday
[06:25] <bob2> sri: the bug's not in the bug tracking system yet?
[06:26] <sri> bob2: I haven't checcked :/
[06:26] <sri> bob2: I really thought it was just something unique to me.
[06:26] <joem> acf, that might be something for udev.rules
[06:26] <Lathiat> acf: They should all be created
[06:26] <Lathiat> acf: Any idea why they arent?
[06:26] <q2> U-Ubuntu-U-U-Ubuntu
[06:27] <acf> Lathiat: maybe vmware-related?
[06:27] <acf> udev.rules?
[06:27] <Lathiat> acf: You running it inside a vmware?
[06:27] <acf> are devices created at boot now? i'm used to a static /dev
[06:27] <Lathiat> yeh devices are created at boot
[06:27] <Lathiat> no static /dev
[06:27] <Lathiat> and only the devices needed are created
[06:27] <acf> what sort of nonsense is that? :)
[06:27] <Lathiat> and they come/go as modules are loaded/unloaded
[06:27] <Lathiat> its brilliant :)
[06:28] <alexg> Udev is great.
[06:28] <alexg> Ubuntu's /dev isn't static.
=== evilmegaman [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[06:28] <alexg> Nice and small (relative to static /dev)
[06:28] <evilmegaman> I need some help
[06:28] <Lathiat> evilmegaman: fire away
[06:28] <evilmegaman> No linux is recognizing my CD rom drive all of a sudden. it was working fine a few hours ago...
[06:29] <bob2> check your cables
[06:29] <evilmegaman> why can't anything find a recognizable cdrom drive?
[06:29] <evilmegaman> But I just burned a cd with it on windows o_O
[06:29] <sri> bob2: I haven't seen anything bugzilla regarding package installs..
[06:30] <Lathiat> evilmegaman: hrmm, can you run dmesg|grep hd and paste it to me in private?
[06:30] <t35t0r> evilmegaman, cat /proc/bus/ide/devices
[06:30] <evilmegaman> umm I am in windows. I would have to reboot and ok testor where do I put that command?
[06:30] <sri> bob2: I'm using apt-get, not aptitude
[06:31] <evilmegaman> I am in the install CD where it's all happening
[06:31] <bob2> sri: that won't affect that bug
[06:31] <t35t0r> evilmegaman, sorry ls -l /proc/ide
[06:31] <acf> what package has the kernel headers for the stock kernel?
[06:31] <sri> bob2: is it in fact a bug?
[06:31] <evilmegaman> oh
[06:31] <evilmegaman> Ok
[06:31] <evilmegaman> where do I do it t35t0r?
[06:31] <bob2> sri: if packages fail to install, it's a bug
=== Treenaks_ is now known as Treenaks
[06:31] <sri> bob2: okay
[06:31] <t35t0r> evilmegaman, in a shell
[06:32] <evilmegaman> oh is there a shell in the ubuntu installer?
[06:32] <t35t0r> heh
[06:32] <bob2> evilmegaman: alt-f2
[06:32] <evilmegaman> Cuz I deleted my linux installer. and ok :)
[06:32] <t35t0r> huh
[06:32] <sri> bob2: even if I remove the package and try to install it, it gives me "No directories in update-desktop-database search path could be processed and updated"
[06:32] <evilmegaman> I will come back here on my other box and tell you what I see brb
[06:33] <Lathiat> evilmegaman: alt+f2, hit enter
[06:33] <t35t0r> heh hopeless
[06:33] <sri> bob2: the problem is with update-desktop-database script
[06:33] <t35t0r> people need to learn how to be very very specific
=== yuri [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[06:34] <sri> bob2: it's not ubuntu it's me
[06:34] <bob2> how so?
[06:34] <sri> update-desktop-database is looking to create /usr/gnome2/share/applications which does not exist
[06:35] <sri> when I upgraded to ubuntu, my home partition migrated itself over
[06:35] <sri> but I did not remove .gnome2 or gconf area
[06:35] <sri> so it's remembering my old prefix
[06:35] <bob2> er, no linux distro includes /usr/gnome2
[06:35] <sri> because I built /usr/gnome2 from source in that prefix before upgrading
[06:35] <bob2> ouch
[06:35] <Lathiat> bob2: yeh but a source or cvs built one would
[06:35] <Lathiat> s/would/could
[06:36] <Lathiat> sri: well, you could blow away all your settings :)
[06:36] <bob2> no, that's still a bad place 
[06:36] <bob2> right
[06:36] <sri> bob2: so I need to fix it by either removing .gnome2/gconf or do something else.
[06:36] <Lathiat> actually
[06:36] <Lathiat> why would the apt-get stuff be using yoru personal gconf?
[06:36] <Lathiat> the post inst scripts are like run as root, not you
[06:36] <bob2> that is a very good question
[06:36] <Lathiat> did you upgrade over the top of your existing install?
[06:36] <Lathiat> or fresh partition?
[06:36] <crimsun> he migrated to ubuntu.
[06:37] <Lathiat> "migrated" as in installed over the top?
[06:37] <Lathiat> fark i broke my usb
[06:37] <crimsun> that's my assumption, but...
[06:37] <sri> Lathiat: the /usr, / are all fresh partitions
[06:37] <Lathiat> damn unplugging usb storage while its still mounted with file handles open
[06:37] <Lathiat> sri: thats most odd then
=== sri wiped the whole debian install except for the /home partition
[06:37] <Lathiat> perhaps try moving your gconf out of the way termporarily
[06:38] <Lathiat> and then try upgrading again?
[06:38] <Lathiat> cus i doubt its that
[06:38] <sri> okay
[06:38] <Lathiat> maybe
[06:38] <Lathiat> move yoru whole homedir out of the way
[06:38] <Lathiat> you could try do a reinstall and then move all your files accross and leave your settings behind
[06:38] <sri> nope still doing it
[06:38] <Lathiat> if its an issue
=== evilmegaman [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[06:38] <Lathiat> probably the quickest way to fix it
[06:38] <sri> hrm.
[06:38] <evilmegaman> Still nothing
[06:38] <evilmegaman> :(
[06:38] <sri> I think I'll just blvow away everything
[06:38] <Lathiat> otherwise we could be here all afternoon playing with things
[06:38] <sri> thats probably better
[06:38] <Lathiat> sri: are you certain thats the problem?
[06:38] <sri> hate to lose my evo stuff though.
[06:38] <acf> you guys rule
[06:38] <Lathiat> hmm
[06:39] <evilmegaman> What should I do to make it recognize the cdrom drive?
[06:39] <Lathiat> sri: well you could save that stuff
[06:39] <crimsun> just back it up, sri.
[06:39] <sri> well, as bob2 said, nobody uses /usr/gnome2 as aprefix for gnome
[06:39] <crimsun> i'm slowly migrating my sid machine to ubuntu
[06:39] <sri> and I know I used it for debian sid 
[06:39] <Lathiat> sri: thats not the problem
[06:39] <Lathiat> you can use whatever prefix you want
[06:39] <Lathiat> it wouldnt have mattered
[06:39] <evilmegaman> cuz Now I found it saying no drivers for it when there IS in fact a driver for my cd rom drive because it worked peachy before
[06:39] <Lathiat> im not sure the problem is related to that
[06:39] <sri> but when I use the update-desktop-database -v it fails
[06:40] <Lathiat> evilmegaman: can you dmesg|grep hd and paste to me in private?
[06:40] <Lathiat> sri: does it state specifically its looking in /usr/gnome2?
[06:40] <Lathiat> i mean you could
[06:40] <Lathiat> mkdir /usr/gnome2
[06:40] <evilmegaman> ok
[06:40] <Lathiat> cd /usr/gnome2
[06:40] <Lathiat> ln -s ../* .
[06:40] <sri> it says "No directories in update-desktop-database search path could be processed and updated"
[06:40] <Lathiat> but thats evil :)
[06:40] <sri> yeah, too evil
[06:40] <Lathiat> umm
[06:40] <Lathiat> paste 'export' to me?
[06:40] <q2> hmmm, 128Bit proccessor, neet
[06:40] <sri>  but when I use it with -v it tells me could not create cache file in directory /usr/gnome2/share/applications
[06:40] <Lathiat> (in private)
[06:41] <Lathiat> or in email to [email protected]
[06:41] <Lathiat> dont remove the spam its supposed to be there :)
[06:41] <sri> Lathiat: yeah, let me email it to you.
[06:41] <bob2> grep -r usr/gnome2 /
[06:41] <sri> shit I wonder if  it's getting it from my PATH
[06:41] <q2> Im gonna buy one of these, they are 128Bit Proc computers, 100% compatable with 64bit proc Linux Distros
[06:41] <evilmegaman> I can dmesg
[06:41] <Lathiat> bob2: eww :P
[06:41] <sri> bob2: /usr/gnome2 doesn't exist anymore
[06:41] <Lathiat> sri: thats what i was thinking
[06:41] <bob2> there you go
[06:41] <evilmegaman> dmesg|grep hd in Ubuntu install cd?
[06:41] <Lathiat> sri: export|grep /usr/gnome2 i guess
[06:42] <Lathiat> or just send me the whole thing
=== punkass [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[06:42] <Lathiat> evilmegaman: no in your actual install
[06:42] <sri> okay, I have XDG_
[06:42] <sri> fuck
[06:42] <bob2> sri: yes, that looks for mentions of that path so you can find out what's referencing it
[06:42] <evilmegaman> but I don't have one :(
[06:42] <punkass> whats the min requirements for ubuntu?
[06:42] <sri> XDG_DATA_{DIRS|HOME}, PATH
[06:42] <bob2> punkass: depends what you want to do.
[06:42] <sri> PYTHONPATH
[06:42] <Lathiat> punkass: Well im running on on my p266 with 192mb ram fine
[06:42] <bob2> punkass: 486 with 32MB of ram is enough
[06:42] <Lathiat> sri: unset all thsoe adn try it again
[06:42] <Lathiat> XDG_DATA_stuff probably isnt helping
[06:42] <evilmegaman> because I can't install because the cd won't work
[06:42] <punkass> replace win95 on a old 166 for my pops
[06:42] <sri> thats it..
[06:42] <Lathiat> err dont unset PATH
[06:42] <Lathiat> jsut remove that bit from the path :P
[06:42] <bob2> q2: erm, you know you're being scammed, right?
[06:42] <sri> yeah, I won't :)
[06:43] <crimsun> punkass: as long as it has 32 MB RAM or more, it's fine
[06:43] <punkass> i was thinking ubuntu with Xfce
[06:43] <crimsun> just make sure you create a swap partition asap
[06:43] <toyowheelin> lol q2 is just tring to gather attention
[06:43] <q2> bob2, no im not.  its a long story, but ive used one
[06:43] <punkass> oh really? ok cool ill have to check
[06:43] <bob2> punkass: gnome2.8 probably be far slower than win95.
[06:43] <Lathiat> punkass: what graphics card does it have?
[06:43] <bob2> punkass: ah
[06:43] <punkass> lol no idea

[06:44] <Lathiat> thats what i thought

[06:49] <Lathiat> evilmegaman: oh wait have you gone through the first few steps of the install?
[06:50] <Lathiat> they wont come up until youve gone through the initial bit up until it wants the cd

[06:50] <Lathiat> night toyowheelin 
[06:52] <sri> hrm..
[06:52] <sri> it seems like rhythmbox is buggy
[06:52] <evilmegaman> I tried but it didn't work
[06:53] <evilmegaman> and It won't get any farther than it has gone
[06:53] <evilmegaman> so I guess I am out of luck...
[06:53] <Lathiat> sri: whats wrong with it
[06:53] <Lathiat> evilmegaman: hmm
[06:53] <bob2> evilmegaman: ask on the ubuntu-users list.

[06:54] <Lathiat> sri: paste in privmsg?

[07:20] <alka_trash> hello all
[07:21] <alka_trash> I have been reading some reviews of ubuntu and currently downloading it, It sounds like a nice desktop OS
[07:21] <Lathiat> Hi
[07:21] <Lathiat> I like it :)
[07:21] <alka_trash> so updates come out every 6months?
[07:22] <Lathiat> yep
[07:22] <crimsun> entirely new updates, yes.
[07:22] <alka_trash> oh
[07:22] <crimsun> the repo itself is very active
[07:22] <alka_trash> so per package updates a whenever
[07:23] <crimsun> some packages go through multiple updates daily
[07:23] <crimsun> it's busier than Sid, it seems ;)
=== maj [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[07:23] <alka_trash> I wish I could just change my apt sources and do a distro upgrade
=== oseb [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[07:23] <crimsun> you can, but it's not quite that simple
[07:23] <alka_trash> he he
[07:23] <Lathiat> alka_trash: you sortof can, if your willing to mess around
[07:23] <crimsun> and it takes a bit of mangling
[07:23] <Lathiat> if your not what id call an experienced idea probably not the best idea
[07:23] <alka_trash> I need to backup first
[07:23] <Lathiat> *experience user*
[07:24] <Lathiat> rather :P
[07:24] <Lathiat> wow backups, must be like an uber geek :P
[07:24] <alka_trash> :)
[07:24] <crimsun> i'm using pinning to migrate sid->ubuntu slowly
[07:24] <crimsun> *gradually
[07:24] <alka_trash> really 
[07:24] <crimsun> yeah
=== revlob [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[07:24] <alka_trash> lots of hack'n slash involved?
[07:24] <Lathiat> Only wimps use tape backup: real men just upload their
[07:24] <crimsun> will probably have a fully converted ubuntu from sid in a month
[07:25] <Lathiat> "important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it"
[07:25] <Lathiat> ergh
[07:25] <crimsun> Lathiat :)
[07:25] <crimsun> alka_trash: not really
[07:25] <Lathiat> "Only wimps use tape backup: real men just upload their
[07:25] <Lathiat> important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it."
[07:25] <crimsun> just patience
[07:25] <Lathiat> oh it did paste
[07:25] <Lathiat> bleh
[07:25] <alka_trash> Lathiat: show me the way
[07:26] <Lathiat> the way to what?
[07:26] <alka_trash> to gradually switch
=== Riddell [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[07:26] <alka_trash> to ubuntu
[07:26] <Lathiat> oh
[07:26] <Lathiat> I have no idea
[07:26] <Lathiat> i jsut installed fresh
[07:26] <Lathiat> backed up my homedir
[07:26] <alka_trash> sh!t, that's what i'll do to then
[07:27] <Lathiat> taking me a while to get everything setup right but its not bad now
[07:27] <alka_trash> is there cd burning software included on this distro  ( cdroast? )
[07:28] <Lathiat> yeh nautilus does it
[07:28] <Lathiat> theres no application as such
[07:28] <alka_trash> I'll have to give nautilus a spin then
[07:28] <Lathiat> but nautilus burns isos and creates cds with files via dag and drop
[07:29] <Lathiat> nautilus is the gnome file manager
[07:29] <Lathiat> you canright click an iso and tell it to burn it
[07:29] <Lathiat> or goto the cd creater, copy/dragdrop files in and burn that
[07:29] <ficusplanet> And rythmbox and muine have cd burning patches available for music.
[07:29] <alka_trash> kewl
[07:31] <alka_trash> Thanks, I'm going to go play Fools ball and drink beer while ubuntu is downloading  
[07:31] <Lathiat> heh
[07:31] <Lathiat> i want beer

[08:09] <Lathiat> thanks :)
[08:09] <tseng> nps
[08:09] <Lathiat> but may i point out

[08:09] <tseng> i know
[08:09] <Lathiat> ok
[08:09] <tseng> have a patch?
[08:09] <Lathiat> yeh i could spin you one
[08:09] <Lathiat> whats the source packagename?
=== laydros [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[08:09] <tseng> it should also have libgtk-cil libgnome-cil etc I believe
[08:09] <Lathiat> ooh apt resolves it for you
=== Lathiat hugs apt
[08:10] <tseng> and a few others possibly
[08:10] <Lathiat> ahh
[08:10] <Lathiat> i thought it pulled those in
[08:10] <tseng> try it clean
[08:10] <tseng> it doesnt seem to, i just didnt notice before as I had them all installed
[08:10] <tseng> dpkg -i *.deb will do that
[08:10] <Lathiat> want to add my libdbus-cil to your archive? :)
[08:10] <Lathiat> tseng: i used apt
[08:10] <tseng> sure
[08:10] <tseng> send it all.
[08:10] <Lathiat> but i think i probably installed the -cil stuff myself
[08:11] <Lathiat> wanting it
[08:11] <tseng> yep
[08:11] <tseng> or from muine or blam
[08:11] <tseng> try doing it clean and I think youll see it
[08:11] <Lathiat> yeh i installed both of those
[08:11] <laydros> has anyone played with ubuntu for ppc much?
[08:11] <tseng> missing assemblies
[08:11] <laydros> after install, when it trys to boot, it gets a kernel panic because it can't find dev/console
[08:12] <laydros> im thinking it should be looking for /dev/console, not dev/console
[08:12] <Lathiat> riight
[08:12] <Lathiat> its in build-depends
[08:12] <tseng> Lathiat: if you could make a fix for that, thatd rock, i havent gotten motivated in the direction.
[08:12] <Lathiat> just nto in install depends
[08:12] <Lathiat> doing it now :)

[08:36] <odwa_> I am aware that ubuntu uses apt but I was wondering whether there was any better tool provided for package maitanence ?
[08:37] <Treenaks> odwa_: better than apt? :)
[08:37] <Treenaks> odwa_: if you prefer graphical, you can use synaptic
=== Ferry [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[08:37] <Treenaks> odwa_: apt-cache and apt-get is all a person needs
[08:37] <laydros> the only things that i could think of being considered better are pacman or portage
[08:37] <laydros> but when apt works right, like it does with ubuntu
[08:38] <laydros> its pretty much perfect
[08:38] <odwa_> ahh Ill stick with apt I like the text based tools better :)
[08:38] <odwa_> thanks 
[08:38] <laydros> bear in mind that using ubuntu is more of a sure thing than normal deb, packages are policed a bit more

=== ricochet [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[08:41] <ricochet> Questions.. I just install this distro.  #1, why didnt it ask me for a root password?  what is my root password?  #2, the virtual terms .. I cant make out what they say.  I could in debian. do I need a graphics driver or something?  X works fine.
[08:41] <laydros> 1: there is no root account by default
[08:42] <laydros> you use sudo <command foo>
[08:42] <ricochet> its in passwd tho?
[08:42] <laydros> the user account you create
[08:42] <laydros> it will use that password
[08:42] <ricochet> ok
[08:42] <laydros> or if you run something in the gui that needs root privlagies, it pops up gtksu and asks for password
[08:42] <Mithrandir> ricochet: if it's not in passwd, a lot of applications freak out.
[08:43] <Mithrandir> laydros: gksudo. :)
[08:43] <laydros> which will also be the first users passowrd
[08:43] <ricochet> Mithrandir, as am I
[08:43] <laydros> yeah
[08:43] <RuffianSoldier> i love the sudo
[08:43] <laydros> i knew i had that wrong
[08:43] <laydros> that was one of my fave things when i first read about ubuntu
[08:43] <laydros> its the way things should be done
[08:43] <Mithrandir> ricochet: you can enable the root account with "sudo passwd root", if you for some reason want it.
[08:43] <opi^work> ricochet: if you want to go to terminal, press ALT+CTRL+Fx where x is term numer
[08:43] <laydros> of course slack and deb sho0uld let you setup root 
[08:44] <laydros> but for a standard desktop distro, it is better with sudo
[08:44] <ricochet> opi^work: i know that.  the text is all screwed up
[08:44] <opi^work> ricochet: oh. hmmm.
[08:44] <opi^work> ricochet: maybe fb is set to wrong refresh rate?
[08:45] <opi^work> see dmsg
[08:45] <ricochet> opi^work, perhaps.  its a laptop
[08:45] <opi^work> see what kind of framebuffer is running
[08:45] <opi^work> if it's VESAfb it should go @60Hz
[08:46] <Lathiat> ricochet: what resolution does it run at
[08:46] <Lathiat> i can tell you the vga=line for your proper resolution that might make it work
[08:46] <ricochet> Lathiat, laptop is best at 1400x1050.  lemme check out XFconf..
[08:46] <Lathiat> hmmthats not a standard res wonder if its in therer
[08:47] <opi^work> set it to 800x600 just to be sure
[08:47] <ricochet> Lathiat, yep it looks like it did that quite well.  its all 1400x1050
[08:47] <ricochet> Lathiat, I'm on the box right now running X. X works fine.  its the virtual terms where I cant read it
[08:47] <Lathiat> yeh
[08:47] <Lathiat> could try vga=none
[08:47] <Lathiat> i think thats the right flag
[08:47] <Lathiat> in your bootloader
[08:48] <RuffianSoldier> goodnight fellow Debian lovers
[08:48] <Lathiat> im assuming your a more experienced user, if not yell
[08:48] <ricochet> Lathiat, yes
[08:48] <ricochet> Lathiat, why wouldnt i have had to do that in debian tho...  ( i didnt)
=== RuffianSoldier [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[08:49] <opi^work> RuffianSoldier: you're quick on your feet ;)
[08:49] <Lathiat> not sure i think debian defaults to no framebuffer depending on your installationmethod
[08:49] <opi^work> Lathiat: my last Debian instalation got no FB ;)
[08:49] <Lathiat> i.e. older or newer debian
[08:50] <Lathiat> opi^work: mine did
[08:50] <opi^work> Lathiat: I guess it's depends on HW used while installation
[08:50] <ricochet> Lathiat, so its just a boot param i gotta tell grub to do?

[09:05] <g0tcha> hi
[09:05] <Lathiat> hi
[09:05] <g0tcha> what educational programs are available for ubuntu and where can i find it ?
[09:06] <Lathiat> What sort of education are you after
[09:06] <Treenaks> g0tcha: are you already running ubuntu?
[09:06] <g0tcha> yes
[09:06] <Lathiat> g0tcha: theres a variety of educational packages
[09:07] <ricochet> looks like it worked.  is there no KDE package? :(
[09:07] <Lathiat> ricochet: Not atm
[09:07] <Lathiat> Ubuntu is focussing on GNOME at present however KDE support is being worked on
[09:07] <g0tcha> @treenaks how are you linked witht he ubuntu software ?
[09:08] <Treenaks> g0tcha: I have an ubuntu system, and I used to be a developer for Debian...
=== _brandx_ [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[09:08] <Lathiat> g0tcha: If you tell me what your looking at i can give you some suggestions, otherwise in synaptic just search for education and itl list some for you
[09:08] <ricochet> Lathiat, is there a problem with me adding a debian source and installing then?
[09:08] <Lathiat> ricochet: Have you added the universe section in your apt sources?
[09:08] <Lathiat> that has most things youd probably want debian wise
[09:09] <g0tcha> well what i am basically looking for is some educational programs for students in a primary school !!!
[09:09] <ricochet> nope, what is universe section?  like main, unstable, etc?
[09:11] <ricochet> g0tcha, teach them how to use files in linux.  little kids are smart.  I was programming pascal in 5th grade because someone had the nerve to teach programming to 5th graders. :)
[09:11] <Treenaks> g0tcha: search for "education" in synaptic, it'll show you a list
[09:11] <Lathiat> ricochet: universe includes alot of stuff from the debain archives
[09:11] <Lathiat> ricochet: just edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:11] <Lathiat> theres a couple lines to uncomment
[09:11] <Lathiat> then they should come in in synaptic
[09:11] <Lathiat> theres quite a bit in there
[09:11] <ricochet> oh.
=== Lathiat wonders how long to set his gpg key for signing debian packages to expire
[09:11] <Lathiat> a year?
[09:11] <Lathiat> 2 years?
[09:12] <daniels> never?
[09:12] <Treenaks> Lathiat: you're signing debian packages?
[09:12] <Lathiat> hmm 3 years sounds good
[09:13] <Lathiat> Treenaks: not official ones
[09:14] <Lathiat> daniels: well i figure if i lose it.. :P
[09:14] <Lathiat> which i shouldnt
[09:14] <Lathiat> but **** happens
[09:14] <Lathiat> i have like 5 keys in keyserver space atm :(
[09:14] <Lathiat> sigh
[09:14] <Lathiat> from when i didnt know too much
[09:14] <Lathiat> gpg --send-keys
[09:14] <Lathiat> hmm, what did that do
[09:14] <Lathiat> *wipe linux install*
[09:15] <daniels> Lathiat: um, that's why you keep a recovation certificate handy
[09:16] <Lathiat> yeh i have them now :)

[09:17] <punkass> any vi/reg expression wizards here?
[09:17] <Lathiat> not a wizard but i might be able to help
[09:17] <punkass> i have csv file seperated by tabs
[09:18] <punkass> i want to merge to columns
[09:18] <Lathiat> like replace one of the tabs?
[09:18] <punkass> so really i just want to take out one of the tabs
[09:18] <Lathiat> well you could use the ^v visual selection
[09:18] <Lathiat> which cuts chunks out rather than lines
[09:18] <Lathiat> and then do R (space) (escape)
[09:18] <Treenaks> if hotplug does not load the correct driver, is that a hotplug bug or a kernel bug?
[09:18] <punkass> its a 60000 line file :)
[09:19] <Lathiat> hit G?
[09:19] <Lathiat> (i.e. goto bottom of file)
[09:19] <punkass> hehe i know
[09:19] <punkass> how does viusal selection work?
[09:19] <Lathiat> you just move the arrow keys
[09:20] <punkass> ah
[09:20] <Lathiat> or page down or whatever
[09:20] <Lathiat> and the ^V visual selection selects vertical chunks
[09:20] <g0tcha> is there a document available on howto replace the boot splash or boot logo ?
[09:20] <Lathiat> as opposed to v that does lines
[09:20] <Lathiat> and V that does whole lines
=== jalil [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[09:21] <punkass> hmm well that almost works..but the columns arent all lined up perfectly
[09:21] <punkass> so the selection doesnt grab everything
[09:22] <Lathiat> oh
[09:22] <Lathiat> damn
[09:22] <Lathiat> that sucks
[09:22] <punkass> yes
[09:22] <Lathiat> dont know how to do it the other way sorry :)
[09:22] <punkass> ok thanks...the Ctrl V thing is good to know anyways.
[09:22] <Treenaks> punkass: what do you want to do? remove a column?
[09:22] <Lathiat> yeh it is
[09:22] <Lathiat> i need to learn regex one day
[09:23] <punkass> Treenaks: merge 2 columns
[09:23] <punkass> in a csv file
[09:23] <Lathiat> and when perl6 comes out i think im going to be tempted to be sold from mython
[09:23] <Lathiat> *python
[09:24] <punkass> when is that supposed to come out?
[09:24] <punkass> Treenaks: i have a reg expression to find the two columns...just not sure how to tell it go keep the same data..minus the \t
[09:24] <Treenaks> punkass: "soon"
[09:24] <Lathiat> punkass: not for a year+ yet
[09:24] <punkass> ah
[09:24] <Lathiat> just listened to a talk on all the call trippy stuff it has
[09:25] <Lathiat> like variables that arent things
[09:25] <Lathiat> i.e.
[09:25] <Lathiat> variable represents any value that is not 1
[09:25] <Lathiat> among many other things

[09:50] <ix> like apt-get dist-clean would be perfect
[09:50] <Lathiat> ix: have you deleted the lines from /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get updated?
[09:50] <ix> yep. perhaps its my imagination that old pkgs are there..
[09:50] <bob2> that won't fix it.
[09:51] <Lathiat> plus if theres installed stuff itl be there?
[09:51] <Lathiat> or am i barking up the wrong tree?
[09:51] <ix> i dunno, i shold rtfm, my impression is theres some kind of master list of 'installable' packages, which includes old ones. 
[09:52] <ix> its just qt3-dev-whatever so i can build my kernel, it seems named differenetly in ubuntu...but i'll stfu until i figure out how everything's cached
[09:52] <calc> ix: apt-get clean
[09:53] <calc> oh nm that isn't what you are asking

[10:15] <deFrysk> gsteamer is default in totem
[10:15] <seb128> we are considering it, but pushing new version directly is not good
[10:15] <Mithrandir> we're trying to freeze, grabbing new upstreams at this point is stupid and dangerous.
[10:15] <seb128> still

[10:36] <Lathiat> they make a linux installer
[10:36] <vrln> wu_ming: just go to a website that uses flash and there should be a popup window in firefox that "additional plugins are required"
[10:37] <Lathiat> dunno about a package tho
[10:37] <Lathiat> or that
[10:37] <vrln> I installed it that way, all I had to do is say ok twice :)
[10:37] <lauhanen> is it normal that after I activated "universe" in /etc/apt/sources.list and tried to installa xmms, zgv, xzgv, none of them installed cos there was HUGE amount of. "X depends on Y, Y seems to be not available?"
[10:37] <wu_ming> flash is different to shockwave though

[10:58] <Lathiat> ooh i founda bug in apache2 packages :P
[10:58] <Lathiat> yay me
[10:58] <lauhanen> defrysk: should I add #'s to "security" lines?
[10:58] <Lathiat> sorry, first ubuntu bug ive found :)
[10:58] <Lathiat> lauhanen: no
[10:59] <lauhanen> ok..
[10:59] <deFrysk> nope
[10:59] <lauhanen> brb
[10:59] <deFrysk> security is always needed
[10:59] <miausX_> hum... I found a bug in firestarter... it crashes all the time on my box :S
=== thx1138 [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
=== prince [[email protected]]  has joined #ubuntu
[10:59] <deFrysk> my firefox xrashes too often when using java , unlike in mozilla where it works fine (blackdown-java)
[11:00] <miausX_> no idea about java, deFrysk... I have installed j2re from Sun (with a package that makes a deb of it)
=== deFrysk simply unpacked the .bin and moved it to /usr/lib/java making some smlinks to /usr/lib/mozilla/blah/
[11:02] <wu_ming> beep id3 writing seem buggy if writing in utf8 chinese
[11:02] <wu_ming> always hangs...
[11:02] <wu_ming> so i am going to uninstall it and return to rhythmbox
[11:02] <miausX_> anybody knows a good gui for iptables for my Ubuntu's gnome?
[11:03] <deFrysk> miausX_, not all java pages crash, its probably sensitive to crappy coding
[11:03] <miausX_> deFrysk, oh... I see :)
[11:03] <lauhanen> deFrysk: I copied last night "daily snapshot" of warty, and MD5 sums were ok, still it was clearly broken.. So could you pass the word
[11:03] <lauhanen> to right person
[11:03] <deFrysk> lauhanen, what was broken ?
[11:03] <deFrysk> xmms /
[11:03] <deFrysk> ?
[11:04] <lauhanen> no, it didn't even install, the installing system. There was this about 10 phases, starting from "choose language" and there was ONLY 10, not for example "partition harddisk"
[11:05] <lauhanen> but it booted and first 10 cases were ok!
[11:05] <deFrysk> i see
[11:06] <deFrysk> well , report it in the mailinglist
[11:06] <lauhanen> I'm sure the script to build that is broken, cos I tried ~5 times, everytime the same, and md5 sums were ok
[11:06] <deFrysk> thats where you can get the answers
[11:07] <lauhanen> I downloaded a "official" cd-image, dated 15 days ago, it was ok
[11:07] <miausX_> brb :)
[11:08] <lauhanen> so I'm 95% sure the daily build script is bogus
[11:08] <lauhanen> try and see! :-)
[11:08] <lauhanen> get a cd-rw ready
[11:09] <deFrysk> lauhanen, nope ;0
[11:09] <deFrysk> next install of mine will be the stable release next week

[11:21] <wu_ming> helix player is not in the ubuntu repository, what is the best way to get and install it then?
[11:23] <deFrysk> wu_ming, might be handyer to install realplaer10 ?
[11:23] <deFrysk> is supports more codecs
[11:23] <joem> probably just go to the website
[11:23] <wu_ming> hmmm really? but i thought realplayer is not open
[11:23] <Treenaks> wu_ming: it isn't
[11:23] <lauhanen> realplayer is spyware!
[11:23] <wu_ming> all i want is to play rm and rmvb file

[03:09] <Treenaks> djtansey: edit /etc/apt/sources.list, it has comments describing how to add universe
[03:09] <Treenaks> djtansey: then apt-get update; apt-cache show <package you're looking for>
[03:09] <Iorek> edit sources.list or fire up synaptic and add the universe repo's there
[03:10] <djtansey> Treenaks: i'll look. thanks.

[03:15] <tseng> do you want me to just do this for you?
[03:15] <tseng> you know where the docs are.
[03:15] <darksatanic> I didn't comment on the technical issues, just on the English...

[03:17] <YogeshM> how do i install gnme from the cd?????
[03:17] <YogeshM> how do i install gnome from the cd?????
[03:17] <darksatanic> Fortunately, it wasn't many mails. :)
[03:17] <cef> actually i just realised that it's not just that.. whatever kernel was installed before was a lot faster and cleaner on this machine

[03:18] <YogeshM> iorek :yes but i don't want to install all the gnome things just the core with firefox and evolution for example
[03:19] <Iorek> well, it's pretty slim as it is...:)
[03:19] <darksatanic> YogeshM: I'm just guessing here, but try installing gnome-core, and then pick the apps you want.
[03:20] <YogeshM> iorek: but is it possible????
[03:20] <Capri> YogeshM: make a default install and uninstall the things you don't want. You will see that there are many dependencies
[03:20] <cef> ok, how do I REMOVE the kernel nvidia-glx depended on?
[03:21] <YogeshM> iorek : capri : what does it means when it says that gnome-core has no installation candidate ????
[03:23] <cef> ahh figured it.. hrm.. the newer kernel still seems painfully slower

[03:24] <Treenaks> I'd say 'why not', but I don't know ltsp very well
[03:25] <YogeshM> treenaks : and for the client
[03:25] <Treenaks> YogeshM: client should work fine

[03:29] <YogeshM> treenaks : ok it works but why is it downloading ???
[03:29] <YogeshM> treenaks : can it take it from the cd???
[03:29] <darksatanic> There's probably a more up to date version on the net.
[03:30] <darksatanic> So it will take that in preference to the one on the CD.
[03:30] <YogeshM> darksatanic : is the version on the cd stable release????
[03:30] <YogeshM> darksatanic : is the gnome version on the cd stable release????
[03:30] <darksatanic> Not yet, no.
[03:30] <darksatanic> The stable release goes out on October 20th.
[03:31] <Treenaks> YogeshM: please use only one question mark when asking questions
[03:31] <darksatanic> (Well, that's the target, anyway)
[03:31] <YogeshM> darksatanic : and the one it is downloadind?
[03:31] <darksatanic> It's the latest version in the repository.
[03:32] <darksatanic> I don't know what the release process is for Ubuntu,
[03:32] <YogeshM> darksatanic : and the one it is downloadind is it gnome 2.8?
[03:32] <darksatanic> No idea. I don't have Gnome on this machine.
=== ploum_ is now known as ploum
[03:34] <YogeshM> darksatanic : so it is best to do a custom install and then download the latest gnome no?
[03:34] <darksatanic> Doesn't matter. You could do a basic install and then update using aptitude.
[03:35] <YogeshM> darksatanic : and what the command?
[03:35] <darksatanic> aptitude update; aptitude upgrade
[03:35] <YogeshM> darksatanic : the same as apt-get ?
[03:35] <darksatanic> Yes. You could use apt-get if you prefer.
[03:36] <YogeshM> darksatanic : is there a way to search for latest packages as for emerge in gentoo?
[03:36] <Treenaks> YogeshM: yes, aptitude update does that
[03:36] <Treenaks> YogeshM: and aptitude upgrade upgrades to those latest evrsions
[03:37] <darksatanic> "aptitude -s upgrade" will tell you what packages will be updated if you run the upgrade.
[03:37] <darksatanic> This is for Debian, but may be helpful to you: http://www.hantslug.org.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ManagingPackages/Apt
[03:37] <YogeshM> darksatanic : sorry i was telling to search individual package like emerge -s packagename !
[03:38] <tony> Thanks guys for your help. Im going to try a few things. If you see me back here soon...then it worked :)

[04:06] <polok_> off to bed
[04:06] <stianh> I've just installed Ubuntu 4.10, and I am trying to compile wxGTK, but I am told to check that gtk-config is in path. How do I get it into path, if it's even installed?
[04:06] <polok_> g'night everyone
[04:07] <Treenaks> stianh: never compile if there's a package
[04:07] <Treenaks> stianh: have you checked universe?
[04:08] <spiv> stianh: you probably need to install libgtk2.0-dev... hang on, libwxgtk2.4 is in universe, why not just use it?
[04:08] <stianh> what's universe?
[04:08] <Iorek> Treenaks I hear you....tried to compile the gift-fasttrack plugin, didn't work
[04:08] <Iorek> packages all installed perfectly
[04:08] <Treenaks> stianh: universe is a package repository
[04:08] <stianh> Ah, well if there are packages then I won't compile :)
[04:08] <stianh> where do I find it?
[04:08] <Treenaks> Iorek: compiling might work, but you have to know what you're doing (and it breaks)
[04:09] <stianh> and how do I add it to synaptics?
[04:09] <Treenaks> stianh: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:09] <Treenaks> stianh: then it's in synaptic after you do Update
[04:09] <Treenaks> Iorek: (it breaks if you upgrade, but don't upgrade the compiled version etc.)

[04:32] <YogeshM> defrysk:is it the latest one
[04:32] <deFrysk> YogeshM, likely yes, otherwise apt would inform me of an update
[04:33] <magnon> hm, this wasn't too good
[04:34] <magnon> updating HAL made nautilus throw up folders automatically for every partition

[04:34] <Iorek> magnon: Configuration editor > apps > nautilus > show_volumes

[04:35] <Iorek> no wait
[04:35] <Iorek> that's something else :P
[04:35] <magnon> Iorek: It's not like it's a problem, but it's a little dumb that it happens

[04:36] <magnon> especially if you're having a big update and just letting it roll while you do other stuff, and suddenly you get a bunch of folders

[06:17] <daniels> s/archive/component/
[06:17] <Kamion> (we import RC bugs from Debian automatically)
[06:18] <Ubuntu64> Treenaks,  I have that installed 
[06:19] <Ubuntu64> Treenaks,    from the command line  nautilus-cd-burner blabla.iso  works =:-)
[06:19] <aj> Kamion: so warty's slightly less supported than the mainstream arches on unstable as far as security's concerned, basically?
[06:20] <aj> Kamion: i take it that'll change as of the 22nd?
[06:20] <Kamion> probably better supported than the mainstream arches on unstable since we're paid to fix the RC bugs ...
[06:21] <aj> Kamion: (also, i don't have a debootstrap patch yet?)
[06:21] <Kamion> (and we have 13, currently)
[06:21] <Kamion> (oh, crap, doing now)
[06:21] <aj> Kamion: (no rush, just a reminder)
[06:21] <aj> Kamion: 13?
[06:21] <Kamion> RC bugs
[06:21] <aj> Kamion: ...?
[06:22] <Kamion> in warty
[06:22] <daniels> aj: in our Bugzilla, there are 13 bugs with severity >= major
[06:22] <Kamion> yes, there'll be full stable-style security support as of the 20th at latest
[06:22] <aj> only 721 in unstable
[06:23] <Kamion> I'm discounting universe, obviously, since that's totally unsupported ...

[10:40] <nnutter> sivang: i.e. the kernel panics
[10:40] <sivang> nnutter : but it boots from the usb drive?
[10:40] <LinuxJones> nnutter, you can load usb modules what devices aren't working ?
[10:40] <nnutter> sivang: and I am pretty sure it is because it doesn't have the usb stuff built-in
[10:40] <ions|ubunbtu> yeah that was previous after going through all the apt-gets
[10:40] <nnutter> um let me explain better
[10:41] <ions|ubunbtu> I had made a symlink for a dir that did not exist

[10:44] <sivang> nnutter : sorry
[10:44] <nnutter> sivang: but I had a similar problem with gentoo, and I just built the usb stuff into the kernel and it worked fine
[10:45] <sivang> nnutter : ok, you would need to fetch apt the sources, make menuconfig to configure those option into the kernel and create a custome made kenrel image pacakge then. I reckon it's much similar to debian.
[10:45] <lml> What has happened to the MythTV packages in Universe? A couple of weeks ago I saw them there, but now I cannot find them using Synaptic.
[10:45] <TheNail> How do I configure a Neomagic MagicGraph 128XD on an old Gateway laptop? Desktop is ok but the resolution is to low the only options offered on desktop configuration are 800 x 600 and 640 x 400 I know it will run at 1024 x 768?
[10:45] <nnutter> sivang: ok I did apt-cache search kernel and I did not see anything about sources only kernel images
[10:46] <panzar> hm, it Ubuntu complains that it can't find 'cc' when i try to compile an app?
[10:46] <nnutter> sivang: and I am very unfamiliar with apt, I have always used gentoo

[11:45] <holger> lml: but this does not install my xp driver, i'll try again
[11:45] <liran> any one ?
[11:46] <holger> lml: it did install, but i also had problems with modprobe
[11:46] <swoon> LinuxJones: I have done so... maybe its not being found? the nvidia error: also says: if you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the --kernel-source-path  commandline option...

[11:59] <holger> for me too
[11:59] <lml> defendguin & punkass_: could you do a find /lib/modules -name "ndiswrapper*" to see if you have the module installed.
