[01:08] <s-x-u> but why is it that one thinkpad works and another not did they change hardware or something inside the same model
[01:09] <tetragon> IBM does multiple variants of models
[01:09] <tetragon> Now, where does Ubuntu put the usual kernel framebuffer mode docs?
[01:09] <s-x-u> you already send an email to ibm it is a great supporter of unix and linux so maybe you get help ?
[01:10] <tetragon> For a thinkpad "Designed for Microsoft Windows Me"?
[01:10] <s-x-u> i search on your own qeustion
[01:11] <tetragon> I've referred to this file on Debian systems in the past
[01:13] <atarinox> any good games in the repos that would run on my older 600mhz/128mb laptop?
[01:13] <tetragon> atarinox: nethack
[01:13] <s-x-u> many bugs in launch pad on your quest...
[01:13] <atarinox> is that a hacking simulation game?
[01:13] <tetragon> atarinox: Nope
[01:14] <tetragon> atarinox: And the console build is much better than the tiled ones
[01:14] <atarinox> ok ill give it a try
[01:15] <atarinox> any others you can think of?
[01:15] <cheeseboy> The following packages have been kept back:
[01:15] <cheeseboy> i get that wen i try apt-get upgrade
[01:15] <tetragon> There's always the assortment in the bsdgames package
[01:15] <cheeseboy> what do i do?
[01:15] <tetragon> cheeseboy: What are you trying to do?
[01:15] <s-x-u> tetragon: what is the exact model im looking on the ibm site
[01:15] <cheeseboy> apt-get upgrade ..
[01:16] <tetragon> cheeseboy: What, precisely, are you trying to do?  What are your objectives?
[01:16] <tetragon> s-x-u: 1161-45U
[01:17] <TheSheep> atarinox: battle for Wesnoth
[01:17] <TheSheep> atarinox: excellent game
[01:17] <cheeseboy> tetragon: update all my aps ..
[01:17] <TheSheep> atarinox: you can also get the snes, gameboy and gameboy advance emulators
[01:18] <tetragon> cheeseboy: As you would see from the manpage apt-get(8), packages that are held back would require changes to the status of another package.  What to do about that is also contained in the manpage
[01:19] <atarinox> TheSheep: there are emulators in the repos?
[01:19] <TheSheep> !info zsnes

[01:19] <tetragon> Ah, found a copy of the file I was looking for
[01:19] <TheSheep> !info snes9x
[01:19] <ubotu> Package snes9x does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas

[01:21] <TheSheep> atarinox: etc. you get amiga, atari and zx spectrum too
[01:22] <atarinox> TheSheep: cool, thanks ill check em out
[01:23] <s-x-u> tetragon: is this correct ? http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/quickPath.do?quickPathEntry=116145u&sitestyle=lenovo
[01:24] <tetragon> s-x-u: Yes
[01:24] <s-x-u> already have the latest bios ?
[01:25] <s-x-u> it is all win stuff:-(
[01:25] <tetragon> s-x-u: And Me was blown away a couple days ago
[01:26] <tetragon> s-x-u: I have it booting, but nothing involving graphics works at this point
[01:30] <s-x-u> And Me was blown away a couple days ago ....... where ?
[01:30] <tetragon> Windows ME
[01:31] <s-x-u> ok
[01:31] <s-x-u> so win has also problems with your machine ?
[01:31] <tetragon> I have no idea.  This isn't my machine
[01:35] <s-x-u> you can at least(?) ask a question about installing xubutu 7.04 on that site and also blame them that it doesnt work out of the box
[01:36] <tetragon> s-x-u: This laptop likely went out of production before Ubuntu even existed.
[01:36] <s-x-u> ibm is a big supporter of unix linux so maybe they help because of bad publicity ...
[01:36] <s-x-u> :-D
[01:37] <tetragon> What, that an OS that's a few years newer than some out-of-production hardware doesn't work without some tweaks?    First disable X, then fix the X config.  I could hardly care less about boot splashes
[01:42] <s-x-u> you do that you report here ? im readding
[01:46] <tetragon> ?  When did less start displaying colour when viewing manpages?
[01:47] <bigfuzzyjesus> tetragon, no idea, i never really read manpages :D
[01:50] <s-x-u> http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?less
[01:50] <tetragon> s-x-u: I generally disable stuff like colour, as it doesn't always travel well across terminals
[01:51] <tetragon> Anyhow, X is working now that I switched the driver from vesa to trident
[01:51] <s-x-u> hey...
[01:52] <tetragon> Since this laptop appears to have difficulties with vesa graphics, I'll simply disable the bootsplash.
[01:54] <s-x-u> it has a trident cyberblade in it reading de specs
[01:56] <tetragon> s-x-u: Why do you think I switched to trident?
[01:57] <s-x-u> you also readed the specs ? :)
[02:00] <s-x-u> so you can boot and you have a gui and you can install ?
[02:00] <tetragon> s-x-u: I booted and installed a couple days ago
[02:00] <tetragon> It was just convincing the install to boot and work
[02:01] <tetragon> I'm still working on the getting the install to work
[02:02] <s-x-u> ok that is the story bad memory mixed with other stories
[02:03] <s-x-u> what is the next problem you are facing ?
[02:03] <tetragon> The little desktop "niceties" that some people like, such as bringing up the network interface without using a terminal
[02:06] <s-x-u> and make a bookmark to the linux tutorials for beginners ?
[02:07] <tetragon> And testing out all the hardware
[02:08] <s-x-u> im boring and i need to sleep i have to work tomorrow so i leave this nice channel / the thinkpad owner should buy suppport contract by you ;-)
[02:10] <s-x-u> thanks for the nice story and happy about to know it works for so far after all the problems
[02:10] <s-x-u> zzz...
[03:27] <cheeseboy> http://rafb.net/p/jqPX1t17.html anyone know how id fix that?
[03:35] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: run 'sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start'
[03:38] <cheeseboy> TheSheep didnt help
[03:39] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: what did it say?
[03:39] <cheeseboy> nothing
[03:39] <TheSheep> that's weird
[03:39] <cheeseboy> TheSheep i dont even have a printer but i still cant purge it
[03:42] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: I guess you could hack a little -- look into /var/lib/dpkg/info/cupsys.postrem and comment out the line that fails
[03:42] <pilibeen> i'm having trouble changing read/write permissions on a mount point i created for my local network.../media/network. whether i try as user or root i still get permission denied
[03:43] <TheSheep> pilibeen: maybe the remote host doesn't allow you to change the permissions?
[03:44] <cheeseboy> TheSheep: /var/lib/dpkg/info/cupsys.postrem is empty
[03:44] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: maybe .prerm then
[03:45] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: it's rm, not rem, sorry
[03:46] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: handle with care
[03:46] <cheeseboy> TheSheep: comment out this http://rafb.net/p/R7mfuD78.html ?
[03:47] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: yes
[03:47] <TheSheep> make sure the cupsys is not running
[03:47] <TheSheep> before uninstalling it
[03:48] <cheeseboy> so comment it oout then purge cupsys?
[03:49] <TheSheep> comment it out, then make sure it's not running (kill it manually if it is), then purge cupsys
[03:50] <cheeseboy> dpkg: error processing cupsys (--purge):
[03:50] <cheeseboy>  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[03:50] <cheeseboy>  reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[03:51] <TheSheep> well
[03:52] <TheSheep> reinstall :)
[03:52] <cheeseboy> then i get the error i pastebined u]
[03:53] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: even after commenting out these lines?
[03:53] <cheeseboy> TheSheep: yes
[03:53] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: did you save?
[03:53] <cheeseboy> yes
[03:53] <cheeseboy> want me to pastebin you the whole edited file?
[03:53] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: it's exactly the same error?
[03:53] <TheSheep> yes, please
[03:55] <cheeseboy> http://rafb.net/p/1HcB4A17.html
[03:59] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: is there also a postrm?
[04:00] <cheeseboy> TheSheep: yes
[04:01] <TheSheep> but the error says clearly: pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[04:01] <cheeseboy> yes..
[04:01] <TheSheep> maybe the script is cached somewhere? :/
[04:01] <cheeseboy> TheSheep: how would i tell :/
[04:02] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: are you sure the new error is exactly the same as the old one?
[04:02] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: I mean http://rafb.net/p/jqPX1t17.html
[04:02] <cheeseboy> yes
[04:04] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: try commenting out the whole script
[04:08] <cheeseboy> TheSheep: now i get chown: cannot access `/var/run/cups': No such file or directory
[04:08] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: create it
[04:09] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: wait, in which script?
[04:10] <cheeseboy> pre-installation
[04:10] <cheeseboy> but making dir seems to be working
[04:10] <TheSheep> great
[04:11] <TheSheep> what script did such a mess of cups?
[04:11] <TheSheep> automatix?
[04:11] <cheeseboy> gusty
[04:12] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: you interrputed installation of packages/
[04:12] <TheSheep> ?
[04:12] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: it was actually missing files
[04:13] <cheeseboy> i had a power failure during upgrade
[04:14] <cheeseboy> woot more errors with different packages now
[04:14] <TheSheep> yup
[04:15] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: I guess it doesn't count as stable anymore
[04:15] <cheeseboy> i gotten through like 1/4 the packages
[04:16] <cheeseboy> its like a puzzle
[04:17] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: not all errors were detected
[04:17] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: dpkg only checks for exsitence, not if the file was truncated
[04:18] <cheeseboy> woot more fun
[04:20] <xjkx> Do you people agree that the difference between ubuntu and xubuntu is just the xfce/gnome ?
[04:21] <TheSheep> xjkx: no, it laso differs in colors
[04:21] <TheSheep> xjkx: and the default set of applications
[04:22] <TheSheep> plus, #ubuntu is much busier and harder to get help there :P
[04:22] <cheeseboy> even wen i used ubuntu i came here :-P
[04:22] <xjkx> TheSheep: I use xubuntu, what do you think will happen if i run apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ? Will i lose xfce/this default set of applications?
[04:22] <cheeseboy> no u wont
[04:22] <TheSheep> xjkx: no
[04:23] <TheSheep> xjkx: you will just get a lot of addtitional applications
[04:23] <xjkx> Then i'd have both xubuntu and ubuntu?
[04:23] <xjkx> :o
[04:23] <TheSheep> xjkx: well, some -gtk versions may be replaced with -gnome ones, I'm not sure
[04:23] <TheSheep> yes, you can
[04:23] <TheSheep> you can also add kubuntu to the mix
[04:23] <xjkx> :O
[04:24] <TheSheep> xjkx: then you can select at the login screen which one you want to login to
[04:24] <xjkx> TheSheep: I am afraid of doing that, because when I run apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop it will understand I want to remove some gtk applications, and maybe it removes some of my xubuntu appl :P
[04:25] <TheSheep> xjkx: no, it looks at the dependencies
[04:25] <xjkx> Uhmm sounds like I should give it a try :>
[04:25] <TheSheep> xjkx: xubuntu-desktop depends on the default xubuntu applications, as long as you don't uninstall it, none of these should be removed
[04:26] <cheeseboy> i just got my ubuntu cds today :)
[04:26] <TheSheep> xjkx: in the worst case, you can install them back, right?
[04:26] <xjkx> How long did it take cheeseboy ?
[04:26] <cheeseboy> and they came with stickers :)
[04:26] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: with stickers?
[04:26] <TheSheep> cheeseboy: cool
[04:26] <cheeseboy> 3 weeks
[04:26] <xjkx> TheSheep: in case I remember those I'd lose yes
[04:27] <TheSheep> xjkx: there are always logs
[04:27] <cheeseboy> i needed em cause my dvd drive broke it doesnt rwad dvds anymore :(
[04:27] <cheeseboy> read*
[04:28] <xjkx> Ah, I ran apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get upgrade (after apt-get update) doing that everytime I'd never need to download a new cd with a new version right?
[04:28] <cheeseboy> now i got about 80 blank dvds going to waste :(
[04:28] <xjkx> cheeseboy: sell them :>
[04:29] <TheSheep> good night everyone
[04:29] <xjkx> night
[04:30] <cheeseboy> TheSheep: see you in your dreams
[04:30] <cheeseboy> :-P
[04:31] <xjkx> :o
[05:04] <foxray> whats the difference between unbuntu-system-tools and xubuntu-system-tools?

[01:15] <hyper___ch> hmmm, I have a bash script for backing up and I thought I could put at the end a simple "df" to show how much space aso is left... but that didn't work... any idea why?
[01:16] <hyper___ch> actually, when I think about it, I guess I know why :)
[01:18] <hyper___ch> I forgot I unset the PATH so I first actually had to define where df is ;)
[01:18] <hyper___ch> thx for the help
[01:20] <hyper___ch> hiho j1mc Jester45 kalikiana Pumpernickel
[01:20] <Jester45> hi

[01:27] <Jester45> yes is activated but there are no rules
[01:27] <Jester45> so its doing nothing
[01:27] <hyper___ch> that's what I thought :)
[01:28] <kalikiana> hey hyper___ch, what's up?
[01:28] <Jester45> yea.... i was thinking about going to sleep but i decided that i would have to wake up in a few hours
[01:28] <kalikiana> And why do you have so many slashes?
[01:28] <hyper___ch> kalikiana: not much :) just had a little issue with a bash script
[01:28] <hyper___ch> kalikiana: slashes?
[01:29] <Jester45> hey... your not useing your normal client, you didnt auto join viddandme
[01:29] <Jester45> the ____
[01:29] <kalikiana> hyper___ch, yep, three slashes
[01:29] <hyper___ch> kalikiana: you mean underscores?  IMHO a slash is this ->   /
[01:29] <J__es__te__r4__5> or \
[01:30] <kalikiana> oh,
[01:30] <hyper___ch> J__es__te__r4__5: that's IRSSI that I use from work :)
[01:30] <kalikiana> it's underscores, yeah :P
[01:30] <hyper___ch> kalikiana: :) didn't know how many I currently had... so I just used 3 of them ;)
[01:31] <Jester45> you have 2
[01:31] <Jester45> 1*
[01:31] <hyper___ch> oh well, I won't be on for much longer... I need to get back to work

[05:12] <s-x-u> hi i have a question im using gutsy 7.10 tribe 4 with updates i can not create new users :-/
[05:15] <s-x-u> using the program users and groups from the menu i fill in the name kind of user and a password but it doesnt create a home map and i cannot login with the new user after rebooting and logging in on the my own account the user i created is lost/gone and away
[05:19] <s-x-u> so anyone have an idea about it ?
[05:21] <Nevermin1> hey, i have a problem
[05:22] <Nevermin1> how do i connedct to a windows router to access the windwos shared files
[05:22] <s-x-u> !samba
[05:22] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[05:52] <utnubux> anyone use xubuntu for sonund synthesis?
[06:08] <cheeseboy> where can i find a black version of the default xubuntu background?
[06:36] <orbit7> cheeseboy : here are some black images from gutsy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Artwork/Gutsy/Incoming
[06:45] <hyper_ch> hiho fellow pirates
[06:46] <kekk> arrr
[06:47] <orbit7> utnubux: something like this? http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/sound/nyquist
[06:47] <hyper_ch> at least someone's alive
[06:53] <Adamska> Hi, i'm trying to make splashy work but it just doesn't run at startup. I installed it with apt-get. Is there something I forgot to do?
[06:53] <utnubux> orbit7: do you use nyquist?
[06:53] <Adamska> I didn't change any configuration file
[06:54] <utnubux> i have read about it but havent tried it.. .or any 'programing' based applications for that matter
[06:54] <orbit7> utnubux: no i only listen to music
[06:54] <utnubux> ahh. well thats cool. i really dont understand whats involved in the programming of a program like that
[06:55] <utnubux> reality is unimportant anyway
[06:56] <orbit7> there is a ubuntu studio distribution for media creation, but the site is down right now
[06:58] <utnubux> yea im running xubuntu on a p3 750 lappy with currently 128mb of memory. not exactly a media machine... i assume it would run much slower than it does now.
[06:59] <hyper_ch> utnubux: I had edgy on a 450mvhz 64mb notebook... it was sloooow... but running
[06:59] <utnubux> haha. i have one of those laying around and was thinking about it.
[06:59] <utnubux> i liked the edgy elf better than fiesty....
[07:00] <hyper_ch> I don't
[07:00] <utnubux> ive had problems i never ran into with edgy.... on the same hardware setup. i dont understand
[07:01] <orbit7> utnubux : perhaps audacity is what you are looking for ? http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
[07:02] <utnubux> yea i run audacity in linux mac and on winxp. its the sheeit.
[07:02] <utnubux> im looking for more synthesis or sound generation rather than editing
[07:18] <pidgas> If anyone else here uses openoffice, I'd appreciate any help you might provide.  My menu fonts are HUGE at least 14-18pt, and I can't seem to fix them.  Googleing just turns up this "apply replacement table" stuff which doesn't work.  Anyone here have a tip for how to make OO2 obey my system fonts in xbubuntu?
[08:06] <orbit7> i have a really strange bug with my m-audio revolution 5.1 sound card , and it's only ocurring in xfce and not in gnome
[08:07] <orbit7> in alsamixer (in a terminal) the H/W setting kjeeps getting reset from "pcm-out" to "hw1 in"
[08:07] <orbit7> is there a special volume/alsa manager  specifix to xfce?
[08:07] <orbit7> *specific to xfce
[08:08] <maxamillion> orbit7: xfce4-mixer
[08:09] <maxamillion> orbit7: you can run that from the run dialog or from a terminal
[08:09] <orbit7> thanks, i'll try now
[08:10] <maxamillion> np
[08:12] <orbit7> maxamillion : the xfce4-mixer does not reflect the same state of "H/W" as alsa mixer. it get's reset in alsa mixer and i loze 1 speaker
[08:12] <maxamillion> oh ... strange
[08:12] <orbit7> maxamillion : after that i start xfce4-mixer and it still shows pcm-out for "H/W"
[08:13] <maxamillion> orbit7: that's really odd ... i unfortunately don't really know how to fix that
[08:13] <orbit7> ok, i know where to file a bug now
[08:14] <maxamillion> :)
[08:14] <loak> hi all
[08:14] <Merchelo> hi dr. loak
[08:15] <loak> dr ? Am I a doctor ?
[08:15] <loak> sure not
[08:16] <loak> my problem is with acpi and the cpuferq things
[08:16] <loak> in a pIII coppermine omnibook
[08:16] <orbit7> maxamillion: killed xfce4-mixer, that's a better workaround
[08:17] <loak> google is full of pages on this but i can't get out
[08:39] <hyper_ch> !grub
[08:39] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:45] <shofomofo> do yall think that running xubuntu on an older dell PIII with 350 mb ram and 2 gb hd would be a good idea for somebody who is a linux virgin, as far as user friendliness goes
[08:47] <j1mc> shofomofo: those specs are good except for the 2gb of hard drive space.
[08:48] <shofomofo> why is that bad?
[08:48] <kekk> I had a comp, 433mhz, 64mb ram, 6gb and I had used ubuntu for some weeks only, put xubuntu on it
[08:48] <j1mc> xubuntu will run on that computer, but you won't have much storage space at all
[08:48] <shofomofo> hm
[08:48] <j1mc> very little space for documents, music files, etc.
[08:48] <shofomofo> yeah
[08:48] <shofomofo> would yall have any other recommendations for me
[08:49] <shofomofo> as i said i need to be integrated into linux
[08:49] <kekk> DSL, feather linux, zenwalk
[08:49] <shofomofo> and its a laptop that im using
[08:50] <shofomofo> which one of those would be easiest to transition from windows
[08:50] <kekk> I don't know, haven't personally tried anything except dsl but that only for a few minutes
[08:50] <shofomofo> hm
[08:51] <shofomofo> this might be a 3 gb hd
[08:51] <shofomofo> i just got the craptop not too long ago
[08:51] <shofomofo> let me check it out again
[08:52] <shofomofo> oh shit
[08:52] <shofomofo> i don tknow what i was thinkin
[08:52] <shofomofo> its 20 gb
[08:52] <shofomofo> lol
[08:52] <kekk> haha
[08:52] <shofomofo> thats better
[08:52] <shofomofo> big difference
[08:52] <kekk> xubuntu will do fine
[08:52] <shofomofo> do you think xubuntu is a good choice
[08:53] <kekk> yeah, it's really faster than ubuntu
[08:53] <shofomofo> ok
[08:53] <shofomofo> thanks
[08:53] <kekk> I had both on one machine, you could feel it
[08:53] <kekk> good luck
[08:53] <shofomofo> hopefully it does all i need it to
[08:53] <shofomofo> thanks
[08:53] <shofomofo> im gonna go ahead and try it
[08:53] <shofomofo> if all works out, ill most likey return to this channel
[08:53] <kekk> you can always format and reinstall :)
[08:53] <shofomofo> yup
[08:53] <shofomofo> exactly
[08:53] <shofomofo> alright thanks
[08:54] <shofomofo> peace out
[08:54] <kekk> bye
[09:02] <loak> hello all, I'd like to install Xubuntu in pIII coppermine (HP Omnibook), but I can't get out of the acpi-speedstep-cpufreq thing, anybody to help me before i kill myself
[09:03] <kekk> no need to kill yourself :)
[09:04] <loak> well, I hope no
[09:04] <loak> or I had to find a funny death
[09:05] <kekk> does it say that it's an old bios (cutoffdate 2000) or such?
[09:05] <loak> non, it's fine from this side
[09:05] <loak> but some file seem to be missige
[09:05] <slow-motion> hallo
[09:06] <loak> hi
[09:06] <loak> *missing, I need to put some light
[09:08] <extrasticky> hi
[09:09] <Nevermind> hey
[09:09] <Nevermind> I have a god damn problem,
[09:09] <cellofellow> !language
[09:09] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:09] <cellofellow> what's the problem?
[09:10] <Nevermind> rofl, sorry judst gotten annoyed
[09:10] <Nevermind> no matter what i do , i can't see the shared folder/hard-drive on my network
[09:11] <Nevermind> (which is windows based)
[09:11] <cellofellow> What protocol? SMB (Windows Networking?)
[09:11] <Nevermind> yes
[09:11] <cellofellow> What program(s) you trying?
[09:12] <Nevermind> the shared folders one which comes with the OS, I've configured it to every bit of detail and still don't work
[09:16] <cellofellow> Nevermind: there isn't a client for Samba included in Xubuntu.
[09:16] <cellofellow> I recommend LinNeighborhood
[09:20] <Nevermind> thankyou, I'm trying afew things now
[09:20] <cellofellow> The Shared Folders utility is for the server, not the client.
[09:23] <Nevermind> is pyNeighborhood any good?
[09:25] <MBR666> hello
[09:25] <Nevermind> hey
[09:26] <MBR666> how be it
[09:43] <slow-motion> n8
[10:01] <xjkx> how do i configure my video card
[10:01] <xjkx> if it uses xorg, xorgcfg isnt working/installed, is it using xorg?
[10:02] <xjkx> i am trying to configure my video card with a text software, no text file editing
[10:04] <xjkx> how do i install xorgcfg?
[10:07] <Jester45> xjkx, the only way i know how to do advance configs is manually editing xorg.conf
[10:08] <xjkx> i havent skills enough
[10:08] <Jester45> or for resoultion or othe basic things you can use dpkg to reconfigure it
[10:08] <xjkx> I want to change my card driver, can i do it with dpkg thing
[10:09] <Jester45> editing xorg is much easier
[10:09] <Jester45> trust me on that one
[10:09] <Jester45> first open a Terminal
[10:09] <xjkx> my equalizer of gmplayer doesnt work, the people on #mplayer said it could be the driver it is using, i need a list of drivers to choose, i have no idea what i'd put anyway
[10:09] <xjkx> I believe its using vesa, i have a sis
[10:09] <xjkx> sis something, i believe 740
[10:10] <Jester45> run grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:10] <Jester45> it will display a few but the last one should be the video driver
[10:10] <xjkx>  Driver          "vesa"
[10:10] <Jester45> the others might be mouse kbd stylus
[10:11] <Jester45> that would be the once you are using
[10:11] <xjkx> what should i put there then? sis?
[10:11] <Jester45> now type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:11] <Jester45> that will ask for pass
[10:11] <Jester45> enter the password for you user
[10:11] <xjkx> I am in the file, in the line
[10:12] <xjkx> Editing the name vesa for something
[10:12] <Jester45> press ctl+W
[10:12] <xjkx> For what? sis?
[10:12] <xjkx> I searched for driver already :D
[10:12] <Jester45> nano is a cli editor
[10:12] <Jester45> yes now we are gonna edit it
[10:12] <xjkx> Just put sis there? or sis740?
[10:12] <Jester45> press ctl+w and type "vesa"
[10:12] <Jester45> umm
[10:12] <xjkx> yes
[10:13] <Jester45> that will get you to the driver line
[10:13] <Jester45> and i will look what you need
[10:13] <xjkx> ok
[10:13] <Jester45> whats the card?
[10:13] <xjkx> sis740
[10:14] <Jester45> let me work
[10:14] <Jester45> look*
[10:15] <Jester45> try sis
[10:16] <xjkx> ok
[10:16] <xjkx> will restart
[10:39] <mikubuntu> hey guys.  trying to install x on a dell cpi d300xt laptop, using the alternate install disk... after the screens about keyboard layout it seems to get stuck... i noticed some 'logical' errors when the disk first started running, does anybody know what might lead to it getting hung up like this?
[10:40] <mikubuntu> i hear it whirring and whirring, but it doesn't get past the section where it said it was 'detecting' cdrom...
[10:40] <Jester45> does the comuputer have 2 cd drives?
[10:41] <Jester45> if not try restarting and at the menu to pick what you boot try the option to check the cd
[10:41] <mikubuntu> no, just one ...
[10:41] <mikubuntu> you mean check for errors?
[10:41] <Jester45> yes
[10:42] <Jester45> i havent used a cd in a while i couldnt rember the name
[10:42] <Jester45> i dont know what the error means but im sure someone will pop up and tell
[10:42] <mikubuntu> ok, do you suppose it would make any sense to try hooking up an external drive and see if that's the prob?
[10:42] <Jester45> kalikiana might know
[10:43] <Jester45> i would go with check the cd first
[10:43] <mikubuntu> k,  lemme go do that
[10:43] <Jester45> it could be a bad burn a lot of people get them and if thats not a poblem or doesnt start then try the external
[10:43] <Jester45> or a cd drive from a other comp
[10:44] <Jester45> the computer might not be able to boot from an usb cd drive
[10:44] <mikubuntu> checking cd for defects now
[10:46] <hyper_ch> huhu Jester45
[10:46] <hyper_ch> huhu TheSheep
[10:46] <hyper_ch> huhu The_Kernel
[10:46] <Jester45> hi
[10:46] <hyper_ch> huhu j1mc
[10:46] <hyper_ch> huhu kalikiana
[10:46] <hyper_ch> :)
[10:46] <Jester45> huhu everyone
[10:47] <mikubuntu> ok, what does huhu mean
[10:47] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu:  that's an extreme secret code
[10:47] <phpusmo> Hello, is there a way I can retrieve the root pass if I forgot it without formatting?
[10:47] <mikubuntu> so you would have to kill me if you tell me?
[10:48] <Jester45> yep only kernel devels know :)
[10:48] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: I'd have to kill you even if I only think about telling you ;)
[10:48] <Jester45> and then i would have to kill hyper_ch for thinking
[10:48] <hyper_ch> ^^
[10:48] <Jester45> court ordered him to stop thinking
[10:49] <phpusmo> hello?
[10:49] <mikubuntu> Jester45: jacksparrow said i should burn another iso but at slow speed, that might be the problem
[10:49] <Jester45> it caused to many problems
[10:49] <Jester45> yes that is what i would tell you if the cd fails
[10:49] <mikubuntu> some ppl shouldn't be allowed to think, or breed
[10:49] <Jester45> if it doesnt then there is not need to waste it
[10:49] <hyper_ch> yeah, it caused problems like WW2 when I was thinking
[10:50] <mikubuntu> Jester45: the check cd for defects seems hung up too
[10:50] <Jester45> that could mean a bad burn
[10:50] <Jester45> or maybe a worse problem is your cd drive doesnt like the cd
[10:51] <Jester45> is it a cheap cd? in an old drive?
[10:51] <Jester45> like the cd you get in packs of 100 for 20 bucks
[10:51] <mikubuntu> ya, lemme burn anew, i be back in a while.  yes and yes.
[10:51] <mikubuntu> 9.99
[10:51] <Jester45> old drives have a hard time reading crappy cds
[10:51] <mikubuntu> but i used it on a couple other boxes already
[10:52] <mikubuntu> how do you know 'quality' cds?
[10:52] <mikubuntu> these are 'imation'
[10:52] <Jester45>  the cd's dont have the quality that the old drives expect and need as the laser is more presise and doesn't have error correction
[10:52] <hyper_ch> I have melectronic and they run fine
[10:53] <mikubuntu> ok, i go reburn
[10:54] <phpusmo> how do I boot in single user mode?
[10:55] <ochosi> hi, both my monitor and my graphics card are capable of a resolution higher than 1024x768 (e.g. 1280x1024), but somehow xorg.conf doesn't accept it (Xorg.0.log says:(II) VESA(0): Not using mode "1280x1024" (no mode of this name) )
[10:55] <hyper_ch> ochosi: then alter your Xorg.conf
[10:56] <ochosi> hyper_ch my xorg.conf currently says:
[10:56] <ochosi> SubSection "Display"
[10:56] <ochosi> 		Depth		24
[10:56] <ochosi> 		Modes		"1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[10:56] <ochosi> 	EndSubSection
[10:57] <hyper_ch> ochosi: I'm not proficient with xorg.conf
[10:59] <Jester45> i dont think vesa goes that high
[10:59] <Jester45> but thats just me i think its 1024x768 or less
[11:00] <hyper_ch> Jester45: now you scared him away
[11:01] <phpusmo> Hello, is there a way I can retrieve the root pass if I forgot it without formatting?
[11:01] <ochosi> sorry, i accidentally disconnected and someone said something to my xorg.conf problem
[11:01] <ochosi> would you please repeat?
[11:01] <Jester45> phpusmo, i think so but google would know more than me
[11:01] <Jester45> i think vesa can only do 1024x768 or less
[11:02] <ochosi> phpusmo you could try to run the recovery mode
[11:02] <phpusmo> I'll need the cd wouldn't I?
[11:02] <ochosi> phpusmo: no, just choose the option in grub boot menu
[11:02] <phpusmo> is there a method for xubuntu, like in windows I can just go into safe mode and see the admin
[11:03] <phpusmo> ochosi, how do I open grub boot menu
[11:03] <ochosi> Jester45: i see, so i will try to use a different driver
[11:03] <Jester45> ochosi, you might want to find vesa's website before doing that
[11:03] <ochosi> phpusmo: usually it shows up at bootup anyway, doesn't it with you?
[11:04] <Jester45> phpusmo, in the boot after it says loading grub you press esc and pick your kernel
[11:04] <Jester45> it might not show the menu
[11:04] <Jester45> there is an option for a hidden menu in that case you have to press esc to get to it
[11:05] <phpusmo> oh ok. I don't have access to the machine right now. so once I do get into recovery mode
[11:05] <phpusmo> there'll be an option to change the root pass?
[11:06] <xjkx> worked, the driver thing, thanks :>
[11:06] <Jester45> welcomer
[11:07] <ochosi> passwd -d
[11:07] <ochosi> passwd -d username
[11:07] <ochosi> this should delete your root pass
[11:08] <ochosi> bye
[11:08] <Jester45> but my question is why you have a root user
[11:09] <Jester45> or a root user that you need to login to
[11:09] <hyper_ch> Jester45: everyone has one :)
[11:09] <Jester45> but that made problem
[11:09] <Jester45> s
[11:10] <hyper_ch> Jester45: sure you have one on ubuntu
[11:10] <phpusmo> Jester45, well I'm trying to install something
[11:10] <phpusmo> and it keeps asking for a pass
[11:10] <phpusmo> I put in my username pass but it doesn't work
[11:10] <phpusmo> so I thought I need to put in root pass
[11:10] <Jester45> does your user have sudo power
[11:11] <phpusmo> i tried a sudo command and it just asks for password
[11:11] <Jester45> hyper_ch, not if you remove him
[11:11] <hyper_ch> you can remove root?
[11:11] <phpusmo> same with synaptic
[11:11] <Jester45> your user needs to be on the sudoer list
[11:11] <phpusmo> Jester45, how can I add my username to the sudoer list?
[11:12] <phpusmo> wouldn't I need root power to do it?
[11:12] <Jester45> is this the first user that you created during boot
[11:12] <phpusmo> yes
[11:12] <Jester45> and no you should be able to via a live cd
[11:12] <Jester45> then it should be a sudoer
[11:13] <phpusmo> oh
[11:13] <phpusmo> anyway without live cd?
[11:14] <hyper_ch> phpusmo: what groups are you in?
[11:14] <phpusmo> I don't know.
[11:18] <xjkx> why it happens on glxinfo: http://www.pastebin.ca/672776
[11:19] <Leonardo> hello??
[11:20] <Leonardo> anybody here??
[11:20] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: no
[11:20] <hyper_ch> !question | Leonardo
[11:20] <ubotu> Leonardo: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:21] <Leonardo> i need some help with ubuntu
[11:21] <Leonardo> i recently downloaded it and tried the live cd
[11:21] <hyper_ch> a wise decision :)
[11:21] <Leonardo> what do i need to download so that i may install xp programs on it
[11:21] <hyper_ch> you need windows :)
[11:22] <Jester45> no
[11:22] <Leonardo> what do i need to download??
[11:22] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: what do you want to install exactely?
[11:22] <Jester45> wine but you should try not to use windows programs because they are slow on linux and dont allways work
[11:22] <Leonardo> some xp programs
[11:22] <Jester45> like.... some examples please
[11:23] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: well, linux is a total different operating system... you can't just run programs from  windows
[11:23] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: there are some exceptions like wine/cedega/crossover office  or virtualisation products like xen, vmware, virtual box
[11:23] <Jester45> if you want to run all windows programs there is this OS called windows that does it all most good
[11:23] <Leonardo> what is wine??
[11:23] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: but best is to run windows programs in windows and for linux find alternatives
[11:24] <hyper_ch> !wine | Leonardo
[11:24] <ubotu> Leonardo: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:24] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: wine can run quite a bit amount of windows programs but not everything and not all of them work well
[11:24] <Jester45> Leonardo, dont use ubuntu's wine package go to the wine website and install via their repo
[11:24] <Leonardo> will wine allow me to install xp programs in xp??
[11:24] <Jester45> its much more uptodate
[11:24] <Jester45> Leonardo, no it will let you run program in linux
[11:24] <Leonardo> ok
[11:25] <hyper_ch> Jester45: best would be to add budgetdedicated to his sources list
[11:25] <Jester45> hyper_ch, thats what i was taking about
[11:25] <Leonardo> hey jester45 can you please go private with me?
[11:25] <hyper_ch> Jester45: well, didn't know if you meant him to download just the .deb or update his sources
[11:25] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: we can talk here
[11:25] <Leonardo> ok
[11:25] <Leonardo> i dont quite understand ubuntu
[11:26] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: what don't you understand?
[11:26] <Leonardo> the software part of it
[11:26] <hyper_ch> what about it?
[11:26] <Jester45> Leonardo, your windows is showing :) please while here openly discuse we have no problem with that and it might inform other users
[11:26] <Leonardo> like compatibility
[11:27] <Jester45> Leonardo, do you know about OS X
[11:27] <Leonardo> no
[11:27] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: there's a site called "windows is not linux" and they have a nice analogy there
[11:27] <Jester45> o well that doesnt help
[11:27] <Leonardo> i only know about xp and vista
[11:27] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: what is a bike and a car used for?
[11:27] <Jester45> hyper_ch, lol
[11:27] <Leonardo> for transport
[11:27] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: exactely... if you know how to drive a car... are you also able to ride a bike?
[11:28] <Leonardo> no
[11:28] <Jester45> http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
[11:28] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: see, that's the same... windows and linux do both computing... however they use very different approaches to it
[11:28] <Leonardo> ok
[11:28] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: and so far you have only learned how to use windows :) so most of what you learned there yo can't apply to linux
[11:29] <Leonardo> ok
[11:29] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: if you want to go ahead, you must be willing to learn :)
[11:29] <Jester45> like on windows you download .exe to install things on linux you have many options but for ubuntu you will want to use the "repo"
[11:29] <Leonardo> yes i am willing to learn but i prefer voice
[11:29] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: a lot of people are just sick of windows and want something else that works better, does all that windows does... basically they just want an improved windows but linux is not that
[11:30] <Leonardo> ok
[11:30] <Jester45> the repo is a whole buch of files you can install and update automatically
[11:30] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: software in the repos is free... you can trust that software.. it has no viruses or malware...
[11:30] <Leonardo> ok
[11:31] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: and there's an awful lot of software in there... for most of your windows programs there will be a replacement
[11:31] <Leonardo> can we discuss getting windows programs to work on ubuntu??
[11:31] <Leonardo> oh
[11:31] <Jester45> o and linux doesnt get viruses or spyware or malware and  doesnt need a firewall
[11:31] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: some are a bit better, some are a bit worse then the windows programs
[11:31] <Leonardo> ok
[11:31] <Jester45> and youdont have to restart very often after an install or a change of a setting
[11:32] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: but to be honest, the one thing linux sucks so far at is Games... because they are very demanding on the hardware and the producers don't make them for linux
[11:32] <Jester45> and audio but same reason
[11:32] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: so if you want to play windows games all the time, ubuntu/linux is not for you
[11:32] <Leonardo> ok
[11:32] <Jester45> dual booting can be
[11:32] <Leonardo> are there any games for ubuntu?
[11:32] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: there are some :) UT2004 I think
[11:33] <Leonardo> ok
[11:33] <hyper_ch> some games can be made to run with wine... like World of Warcraft
[11:33] <Leonardo> can ubuntu run a program called paltalk?
[11:33] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: haven't heard of that... no clue
[11:33] <Jester45> what does it do?
[11:34] <Leonardo> it's a voice chatroom
[11:35] <hyper_ch> 8.5	ies4linux needs to be installed first, otherwise it won't ever login. 	/	/	2	3
[11:35] <hyper_ch> 9.0	Same results as 8.5 report above			1	0
[11:36] <hyper_ch> seems to work in Suse... no result for Ubuntu yet
[11:36] <hyper_ch> but it relies on MSIE?
[11:38] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: scared?
[11:39] <Leonardo> i have the 64 bit version of it
[11:39] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: you also installed ubuntu 64bit?
[11:40] <Leonardo> i have ubuntu 64bit
[11:41] <Leonardo> i really dont know what is wine?
[11:41] <Leonardo> and it's purpose
[11:41] <hyper_ch> wine is a compatibility layer that will allow you to run some windows programs on linux
[11:41] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: do you have a playstation?
[11:42] <Leonardo> yes
[11:42] <hyper_ch> ever tried to run a xbox game in it?
[11:42] <Leonardo> no but it wont work
[11:42] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: why won't it work?
[11:42] <Leonardo> because they are differently made
[11:43] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: see, same applies to linux and windows... you can't just run a windows program in linux
[11:43] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: so you need a some "middle"ware that will enable it
[11:43] <Leonardo> ok
[11:43] <Leonardo> and wine can?
[11:43] <hyper_ch> some stuff runs fine
[11:44] <Leonardo> ok
[11:44] <hyper_ch> ok, first, we need to add the wine repos to your sources list
[11:44] <hyper_ch> open a terminal
[11:44] <Leonardo> how can i download wine for my 64bit ubuntu
[11:44] <Leonardo> what is a terminal
[11:44] <Leonardo> i am currently using xp
[11:44] <hyper_ch> command line interface
[11:44] <hyper_ch> the little black box where you can type text in it like in dos
[11:45] <Leonardo> i am currently using xp
[11:45] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: oh, you're not on ubuntu ;) well, then we can't install wine
[11:45] <Leonardo> ok
[11:45] <Leonardo> can i have a number for you ?
[11:45] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: ??? a number?
[11:46] <Leonardo> yeah where we can talk
[11:46] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: why?
[11:47] <Leonardo> well i really need help and i'm really not knowledgable about this stuff
[11:47] <hyper_ch> that's what the support channels are for :)
[11:47] <Leonardo> and i dont know what will happen if i run the live cd
[11:48] <Leonardo> i'm talk about if this program will work and my internet and stuff
[11:48] <hyper_ch> as long as you don't do anything, nothing will happen
[11:48] <Leonardo> do you understand?
[11:48] <hyper_ch> it will just start ubuntu in the ram
[11:48] <Leonardo> ok
[11:48] <hyper_ch> there's a good chance it will not work well... but mostly it does run ok
[11:48] <Leonardo> and how can i get this program to work??
[11:49] <hyper_ch> and once you turn the computer off, it's gone... nothing will be changed on the computer
[11:49] <Leonardo> i know
[11:49] <hyper_ch> well, first you will need to run ubuntu
[11:49] <Leonardo> ok
[11:49] <hyper_ch> (from live-cd)
[11:49] <hyper_ch> then add the repos for wine
[11:49] <hyper_ch> and then install wine
[11:49] <hyper_ch> and then you can try to install paltalk
[11:50] <hyper_ch> (but also IE4Linux must be installed)
[11:50] <Leonardo> i will really need to talk to you while i'm doing this
[11:50] <Leonardo> i'm only 16 you know !!!
[11:51] <hyper_ch> well, you need internet otherwise you can't install it
[11:51] <Leonardo> ok
[11:51] <hyper_ch> so when you have internet, you also have IRC access
[11:51] <kekk> Leonardo, I'm 16 too, it's not _that_ hard ;)
[11:52] <Leonardo> well how can i talk/chat with you while i'm running ubuntu
[11:52] <Leonardo> lol
[11:52] <Leonardo> i find this stuff very hard to understand !!!!
[11:52] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: you start an IRC client
[11:52] <hyper_ch> XChate should be installed by default
[11:52] <kekk> moreso, age has nothing to with this stuff
[11:52] <kekk> hyper_ch, it wasn't on my 7.04, gaim is though
[11:52] <Leonardo> ok
[11:53] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: you have ubuntu or xubuntu?
[11:53] <Leonardo> i have now put the ubuntu cd in my drive
[11:53] <Leonardo> i have ubuntu
[11:53] <Leonardo> i believe
[11:53] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: oh well, if you can't find any irc programm... ahve a look through the menus and look for "add/remove software" or "synaptic"
[11:54] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: with those two you can search for an irc programm and have it installed...
[11:54] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: all you need is getting your inet connection working in ubuntu :)
[11:55] <Leonardo> well i really don't understand so i'll be leaving now, thanks for the help though but even though xp is crap i might just have to stick with it
[11:55] <Leonardo> i thought that ubuntu have a number just like microsoft has
[11:55] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: linux is mostly developped by people like you and me that do it in their spare time
[11:56] <Leonardo> voice is better that text anyway and i hate typing
[11:56] <kekk> ubuntu has the net - forums, irc, wikis
[11:56] <Leonardo> ok
[11:56] <hyper_ch> ubuntu has actually people helping... not some paid, bored support that keeps you on hold for 10min
[11:56] <kekk> hehe
[11:57] <Leonardo> well it's worth it because i get my questions answered
[11:57] <Jester45> well
[11:57] <Jester45> you can pay for support
[11:57] <kekk> I like to believe that ubuntu folks are enthusiasts. they love doing this and like helping out others. don't know if it is true though ;)
[11:57] <Leonardo> if i have someone to talk to, that way i can tell them to stop or if i understand or not
[11:57] <Jester45> but... i dont think they support wine
[11:57] <Leonardo> ok
[11:58] <Leonardo> i'm not going to pay for support though i'm still at school
[11:58] <Jester45> Leonardo, but when your talking its slower and you cant look back at what they said
[11:58] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: you can try it :) doing it all in the live cd causes no harm except maybe for wasting some time ;)
[11:59] <Leonardo> ok
[11:59] <Leonardo> i dont think so
[11:59] <Leonardo> jester45
[11:59] <Jester45> to each his own
[11:59] <Leonardo> well i'll be going now, will i be getting anybody's # or not, i will really apprciate the help !!!!
[12:00] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: irc is much more helpful :) I have created my self a wiki with all the stuff I needed to learn and had trouble figuring out... I just copied and pasted the relevant parts from websites, irc, other wikis...
[12:00] <Jester45> i just have been helping a long time and i know from being the helper its much easier to tell a person to copy and paste sudo apt-get install package
[12:00] <hyper_ch> I have my small little compendium of what I know
[12:00] <Jester45> than to tell them how to do it
[12:00] <Leonardo> ok
[12:00] <Leonardo> well i guess that's a no
[12:00] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: you can call me but you'll have two issues:  my accent and the charge for an itnernational call ;)
[12:01] <Leonardo> that's not a problem
[12:01] <kekk> haha
[12:01] <hyper_ch> trust me, my accent is bad
[12:01] <Leonardo> is not that you speak french or something
[12:01] <hyper_ch> actually, that's one of the languages I speak
[12:01] <Leonardo> i can speak both english and spanish
[12:02] <Leonardo> and i have heard worst accents
[12:02] <hyper_ch> no hablo espaol muy bien
[12:02] <Leonardo> i dont speak spanish very well
[12:02] <kekk> (when I use /set irc_whois_front 1 in xchat, will this stick?)
[12:02] <Leonardo> please give me your number
[12:02] <Leonardo> i private though
[12:03] <hyper_ch> I'm off to bed soon
[12:03] <mikubuntu> Jester45: you still here
[12:03] <hyper_ch> already midnight here
[12:03] <mikubuntu> adonde
[12:03] <Leonardo> ok
[12:03] <Leonardo> so that means no?
[12:03] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: you don't need any number ;) trust me... all you need is an internet connection and irc
[12:04] <Leonardo> it's 6:04 pm now
[12:04] <Leonardo> what is irc
[12:04] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: what you are using now... that's IRC
[12:04] <Leonardo> ok
[12:04] <Jester45> yea im here
[12:04] <Leonardo> so log back in when ubuntu have loaded
[12:05] <Leonardo> what do i need to do to chat with yall after i have loaded ubuntu??
[12:06] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: once you are in ubuntu, search the start/applications menu for "Synaptic"
[12:06] <Leonardo> then
[12:07] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: run that... within it you can then search for "XChat"
[12:07] <Leonardo> then
[12:07] <hyper_ch> Leonardo: and you can install XChat from there...
[12:07] <hyper_ch> Xchat is an irc client that lets you come back here :)
[12:07] <mikubuntu> Leonardo: Or start firefox and add chatzilla, go to freenode server, then /join #xubuntu
[12:08] <Leonardo> ok
[12:08] <Leonardo> bye
[12:08] <hyper_ch> server:   irc.freenode.org     channel:  #xubuntu
[12:08] <Leonardo> ok
[12:08] <Leonardo> i'll give this one more try
[12:08] <Leonardo> i think it's worth it
[12:09] <Leonardo> bye
[12:09] <mikubuntu> Leonardo, estas instalando con el alternativo?
[12:09] <Leonardo> ok
[12:09] <hyper_ch> he said to have a live cd
[12:10] <Leonardo> i know
[12:10] <Leonardo> bye
[12:10] <mikubuntu> Leonardo: it is usually better to install with the alternate installer cd
[12:10] <mikubuntu> instead of the live cd
[12:10] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: he's not going to install yet
[12:11] <Leonardo> that's right
[12:11] <mikubuntu> hyper_ch: oh. nvr mind :)
[12:11] <Leonardo> i'm not
[12:11] <Leonardo> ok
[12:11] <Leonardo> bye guys, i'll catch you on the other side !!!!
[12:11] <hyper_ch> ^^
[12:12] <mikubuntu> ok, then lets deal with MY problem :)  i can't get the alternate cd to load on my new old dell laptop.  i see on the install menu there is an option for a command line install.  anyone savvy enough and patient enough to help me to a command line install?
[12:13] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: got a second computer?
[12:13] <mikubuntu> yes, this one
[12:13] <hyper_ch> how about a pxe install?
[12:13] <mikubuntu> ok, what's that :)
[12:14] <hyper_ch> !install | mikubuntu
[12:14] <ubotu> mikubuntu: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[12:14] <mikubuntu> i'll try anything once, and i've done some things more than once, but that's another chatroom i think
[12:15] <hyper_ch> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[12:15] <mikubuntu> ok, i go look
[12:18] <mikubuntu> hyper_ch: oh, no. thats WaaaaAAAAAaaaaay over my head
[12:18] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: ok :)
[12:19] <hyper_ch> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromHardDriveWithFloppies
[12:22] <leonardo> hello??
[12:22] <hyper_ch> leonardo: windows or ubuntu?
[12:22] <leonardo> ubuntu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[12:22] <leonardo> it looks really good
[12:22] <hyper_ch> it's not that difficult... did you install now xchat?
[12:23] <leonardo> no
[12:23] <hyper_ch> Jester45: still here?
[12:23] <mikubuntu> hyper_ch: what is the 'mini iso' and is it possible to burn it to cd to start installation?
[12:23] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: that was for floppies or usb stick
[12:23] <leonardo> i used something called gaim
[12:23] <hyper_ch> leonardo: ah :)
[12:23] <mikubuntu> hyper_ch: so it wont work on cd?
[12:24] <leonardo> now tell me how to use wine
[12:24] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: problem is you can't get the cd drive to run, right?
[12:24] <hyper_ch> leonardo: open a terminal
[12:24] <mikubuntu> hyper_ch: yes the cd runs but it doesn't get past a certain point
[12:25] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: oh... hm...
[12:25] <leonardo> go to accessories then terminal
[12:26] <leonardo> ?
[12:26] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: I guess you can burn the mini iso on a cd
[12:26] <mikubuntu> hyper_ch: maybe i SHOULD try the cd driver from this machine into that machine... they are both dells, should be interchangeable, yes?
[12:26] <hyper_ch> leonardo: yeah :) just open it
[12:26] <leonardo> it's open
[12:26] <hyper_ch> leonardo: copy'n'paste this:     wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[12:26] <hyper_ch> into the terminal
[12:27] <mikubuntu> hyper_ch:  so what state would i be in if it booted the mini iso?
[12:27] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: no clue
[12:27] <leonardo> i just copied wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[12:27] <mikubuntu> haha
[12:27] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: have a read at the install guides....
[12:27] <hyper_ch> leonardo: what did it do/say?
[12:28] <mikubuntu> no, i have, i just cant get the stuff through my head unless someone walks me through it :(
[12:28] <leonardo> how to open terminal??
[12:28] <mikubuntu> lemme go try switvhing cd drives
[12:28] <leonardo> applications then what?
[12:28] <hyper_ch> leonardo: didn't you say before you have it open?
[12:28] <leonardo> i think that the wrong thing
[12:29] <hyper_ch> leonardo: I don't have ubuntu so I don't know where the terminal is located in the ubuntu GUI
[12:29] <kekk> Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[12:29] <hyper_ch> leonardo: but accessories --> terminal sounded right
[12:29] <leonardo> good
[12:29] <leonardo> wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[12:29] <leonardo> am i putting that in?
[12:29] <kekk> paste that, hit enter
[12:29] <leonardo> wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[12:29] <hyper_ch> leonardo: yes
[12:30] <hyper_ch> then hit enter
[12:30] <leonardo> it jus said ok
[12:30] <hyper_ch> copy'n'paste what it says exactely
[12:30] <leonardo> i pasted (wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -) the exact thing in the brackets
[12:31] <hyper_ch> leonardo: what was the result?
[12:31] <leonardo> the result was ok
[12:31] <Jester45> hyper_ch, im here
[12:31] <leonardo> and then ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[12:31] <hyper_ch> leonardo: copy'n'paste the output
[12:31] <Jester45> its fine
[12:31] <Jester45> thats what it does
[12:32] <Jester45> type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine
[12:32] <leonardo> yall are confusing me
[12:32] <hyper_ch> Jester45: not so quick
[12:32] <Jester45> lol
[12:32] <leonardo> :(
[12:32] <hyper_ch> now paste this:     sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
[12:32] <Jester45> leonardo, that means everything is ok
[12:33] <mikubuntu> hyper_ch: OMG ... switched drives with my machine and install is now progressing .... aaarrrrrrggggghhhhh.  so that drive must be defective in some way, tho it has worked reading windows drivers, etc...
[12:33] <Jester45> hyper_ch, you should of put it all in one long command
[12:33] <leonardo> it said 100%
[12:33] <hyper_ch> Jester45: I copied it from winehq ;)
[12:34] <hyper_ch> leonardo: good, now do as Jester45 said before:    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine
[12:34] <leonardo> ok
[12:34] <hyper_ch> that will take now some time
[12:34] <leonardo> alot of stuff is moving
[12:35] <hyper_ch> leonardo: the first command you pasted is the "key" to make sure that the repository is valid
[12:35] <hyper_ch> leonardo: the second one is the actualy repository
[12:35] <leonardo> do i want to continue
[12:35] <hyper_ch> leonardo: and now you are updating the available software list
[12:35] <leonardo> i said y
[12:35] <hyper_ch> that's good
[12:35] <hyper_ch> and now it's actually downloading wine and it's components and then it will install it
[12:36] <mikubuntu> jester: and/or hyper: ok, now another question after i get x loaded on this machine, can i take the hard drive out of it and put it into an identical machine which has a bad bios?  the other machine wont boot from cd, but apart from that, is identical...
[12:36] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: I guess so...
[12:37] <hyper_ch> if it's identical it should be no problem
[12:37] <mikubuntu> anything particular i need to know about handling the hard drives?  should machine be on/off etc...?
[12:37] <hyper_ch> mikubuntu: fiddling with hardware --> machine off ;)
[12:38] <mikubuntu> ok, gotcha.  seems like a no brainer, hunh
[12:38] <mikubuntu> huhu
[12:38] <hyper_ch> well, there are some drives you can swap while running but I dunno what is required exactely... ;)
[12:39] <Jester45> a hotswap motherboard or pci to ide card
[12:39] <hyper_ch> Jester45: geek
[12:39] <Jester45> i think im becoming a The-Kernel
[12:39] <Jester45> TheSheep*
[12:40] <Jester45> hyper_ch, yep 1/2 my school day is computers
[12:40] <mikubuntu> oh my.  i happy camper. install proceeding *seemingly* flawlessly
[12:40] <hyper_ch> Jester45: what's school ;)
[12:41] <Jester45> and semi admining 2 servers doesnt help
[12:41] <hyper_ch> leonardo: still downloading?
[12:41] <hyper_ch> Jester45: truly?
[12:42] <Jester45> yes so i guess i also have irc
[12:42] <hyper_ch> lol
[12:42] <hyper_ch> so, I'm off to bed... g'night mates
[12:42] <Jester45> night
[12:42] <Jester45> guess i get all the problems now
[12:42] <hyper_ch> ie4lin must be installed to make paltalk work ;)
[12:43] <hyper_ch> good luck on that
[12:52] <mikubuntu> hope i'm making the right choice with xubuntu on that machine, it has 12 gb hd, and 128 ram.. so it wouldn't really support ubuntu, correct?
[12:54] <Jester45> yes, 128mb ram would run quite slow on ubuntu
[12:54] <Jester45> what processor
[12:56] <mikubuntu> Jester45:  i have a question for you... when i loaded ubuntu on this laptop i wrote over all my files (intentionally) without backing up, because i was just *ready* to make the switcvh, and i really don't have any national security stuff on it anyways.  is there anyway for me to go in and retrieve any of that data now?
[12:56] <mikubuntu> not sure what processor
[12:56] <Jester45> nope
[12:57] <Jester45> if you do go back and find anything at all they will probly be small text files or small parts of a biger one
[12:57] <mikubuntu> oh, well, c'est la vie, the french say
[12:58] <mikubuntu> why is it that x uses the kde programs for office and spreadsheet and stuff, just lighter?
[12:59] <Jester45> umm
[12:59] <Jester45> no x uses xfce
[12:59] <Jester45> kde is slower than gnome
[12:59] <mikubuntu> oh, wait, i am confusing kubuntu, then
[12:59] <Jester45> speed wise slowest to fastest its kde gnome xfce flux
[12:59] <kekk> kubuntu is kde yeah
[01:00] <Jester45> and the buntu distro of them are
[01:00] <Jester45> kubuntu ubuntu xubuntu fluxubuntu
[01:00] <Jester45> well i think its fluxbuntu
[01:00] <mikubuntu> so fluxubuntu would be for really older machines?
[01:00] <Jester45> but its thirs party distro
[01:00] <Jester45> ues
[01:01] <Jester45> ye
[01:01] <Jester45> yes*
[01:01] <kekk> should try out fluxbuntu
[01:01] <Jester45> and for even faster is DSL and then commandline only
[01:01] <xork> i use xfce & fluxbox on a brand new machine
[01:01] <xork> just like the simplicity
[01:01] <mikubuntu> cause i have three *really* old laptops maybe i should consider fluxbuntu for then
[01:02] <mikubuntu> you mean damn small linux?  I've an ATI card
[01:09] <xork> run command top
[01:09] <xork> see what's eating your resources
[01:09] <mikubuntu> T: so why don't you try x or flux?
[01:09] <T`> mikubuntu, i am using xfce
[01:09] <T`> Terminal as in xfce-terminal
[01:10] <Jester45> well saying amd64has nothing to do with speed amd64 could be a 200mhz processor with 64 ram and intergrated graphics


 You can install pretty much everything from the Discover launcher. You can also install many packages from Snap and Flapak repos clicking on their download links and opening in the Discover application. I almost don't use the command line to install things. (re @IrcsomeBot: <Tazat> U know as WizBang great as Linux is supose to be  cant they make the install and unistall simpler  than all this comand line crap)
 We don't care about that. As stated, you can go wherever you want to rant and hate Linux, just not here. (re @IrcsomeBot: <Tazat> It is no wonder folks HATE LINUX!!!!! cannot get support after you have followed all the instructions to install a program all I want to do is to install  open JDK 11 as it keeps telling me dependendcies screwed up never using Linux again think I might start a HATE Group somewhere)
 Hello, Today i installed kubuntu version 22.04.2, but i have a problem, i use sddm window manager, when i just do something, and my computer turns off the screen automatically, when I turn it back on and log in, sometimes kubuntu randomly docks, windows actions like close or minimize it becomes an error' and glitch, the application can still be accessed but, The dock looks frozen, it's really bothersome I have to use CTRL+ALT+T and resta
[06:51] <weedmic> I notice that if I touch the scroll wheel on my mouse when it is to the left of an open app, it switches screens.  I have gone through all the system settings and can't seem to find that setting.  If you know what I am looking for let me know please.
[06:54] <oerheks> weedmic,  https://postimg.cc/ThPkycFX  fromhttps://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=165327
[07:03] <weedmic> tks - i did that, but i think i need to logout and back in fo rit tow work
[07:04] <weedmic> oic, it is ever desktop & monitor - but almost done
[07:05] <weedmic> take that back, it's each monitor - done - very very happy now today :)
[07:05] <oerheks> maybe yes, logout login to take effect
[07:06] <weedmic> no, apply was enough, but it only worked on the right monitor - copasetic
[07:07] <weedmic> it did not occur to me that it would be a setting unreachable from "system settings" - must be some legacy thing
[08:56] <demon_blade> tomreyn: my kubuntu version is 22.04.2 LTS... I know my SMbus is not working because it's written on the error screen. It doesn't let my laptop boot properly.. I mean sometimes my laptop doesn't boot at all.. it just get freezes on the image which I shared above. Hardware I am using is asus vivobook 15 pro. The problem started when I tried to set the default key F9 and F10 to their original functionality but that didn't worked
[08:56] <demon_blade> but this error pooped up... And it was an error which was there when I installed kubuntu on my machine. I reinstated the kubuntu but the error is still there.
[09:06] <demon_bl1de> Linux hunter-Vivobook-ASUSLaptop-K6502HC-K6502HC 5.19.0-42-generic #43~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Apr 21 16:51:08 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[09:06] <demon_blade> My kernal version
[10:21] <tomreyn> demon_blade: so booting fails sometimes but not always, right? if you can make it boot, can you check the firmware version, too?
 also, is the mainboard firmware up to date?   journalctl -b | grep DMI:
[10:25] <tomreyn> the latest bios version is "303" (released 2023-05-17) according to https://www.asus.com/supportonly/k6502hc/helpdesk_bios/
[10:28] <demon_blade> Yes it is up to date
[10:28] <demon_blade> 303
[10:28] <tomreyn> so you upgraded it in the past 14 days?
[10:29] <demon_blade> Yep...
[10:29] <demon_blade> But I reinstalled my kubuntu few days ago
[10:29] <tomreyn> but the smbus issue occurred previously, too,right?
[10:30] <tomreyn> prior to the bios upgrade
[10:30] <demon_blade> Yep... Before and as well as after reinstalling
[10:30] <demon_blade> Yep before upgrade as well
 blacklisting i2c_i801 or booting linux <5.15 may work around it.
[10:31] <demon_blade> Ok let me try
[10:36] <tomreyn> which measures did you take when you "tried to set the default key F9 and F10 to their original functionality"?
[10:37] <demon_blade> Blaklisting worked ... Thankyou
[10:38] <tomreyn> you may loose functionality this way, such as suspend + resume
[10:38] <demon_blade> But there was another problem.. which was there..
[10:38] <tomreyn> feel free to post a bug report also
[10:39] <tomreyn> when reporting a bug, it'd be best to do so while the blacklisting is not in place, if you can still boot that way.
[10:39] <demon_blade> this is still here preventing my laptop to boot..  https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/9ezDVeh5/irccloudcapture3503250832476463027.jpg
[10:40] <tomreyn> there are several acpi module settings you can try, including disabling the module - but better find a middle ground
[10:41] <tomreyn> https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
[10:42] <demon_blade> What to do..
[10:42] <demon_blade> I still have to enter the safe mode to boot my pc
[10:43] <demon_blade> It booted but I wanted it fixed.
[10:43] <tomreyn> i'm guessing the "DPC: RP PIO log size 0 is invalid" message hints at the root cause for both issues (smbus + acpi). i'm not familiar with it at all, though.
[10:44] <demon_blade> But the smbus issue is not there.
[10:44] <tomreyn> you can try acpi=strict or =noirq
[10:44] <tomreyn> the smbus issue is not there because you are actively working around it. but the DPC message was also present while the smbus issue was present.
[10:45] <demon_blade> Yes . So can't I fix the issue?
[10:45] <tomreyn> "i'm not familiar with it at all, though."
[10:46] <demon_blade> Oh anyone you know who can help?
[10:46] <tomreyn> if you do a web searc on "DPC: RP PIO log size 0 is invalid" - for me the first hit is https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209943 - did you read this, yet?
[10:46] -ubottu:#kubuntu- bugzilla.kernel.org bug 209943 in Drivers "pci 0000:00:07.0: DPC: RP PIO log size 0 is invalid" [Normal, New]
[10:58] <tomreyn> demon_blade: try booting without "quiet" (and optionally with "verbose") also, other errors may be getting covered up there
[11:00] <tomreyn> the summary of the above bug report seems to be 'bios bug (deviation from specification) on some intel platforms', but should be without impact.
[11:01] <tomreyn> so i guess the "DPC: RP PIO log size 0 is invalid" messgae is indeed a red herring (ignore it)
[11:02] <demon_blade> Ok

[16:53] <rpadovani> launchpad on duckduckgo :D
[16:53] <rpadovani> https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lp+%231&ia=launchpad
[17:03] <cjwatson> rpadovani: says "More at Launchpad.com" which is a domainsquatter and not us.
[17:03] <cjwatson> but good to see explicit support
[17:05] <rpadovani> cjwatson, ops, I reported it in the MR, they didn't fix it :/ I report it to the developer
[17:05] <rpadovani> (again)
[17:06] <cjwatson> The link goes to the right place, it's just the text
[18:02] <cjwatson> wgrant: Do you happen to remember why accessartifact_maintain_denorm_to_artifacts_trig is redefined in database/schema/patch-2209-28-6.sql, apparently identically to its definition in database/schema/patch-2209-16-6.sql?  Is it because the PL/pgSQL function needs to be recompiled to refer to the new definition of accessartifact_denorm_to_artifacts?
[18:02] <cjwatson> (I'm guessing so, but wanted to check)
[18:04] <rpadovani> fixed launchpad.com on ddg
[18:04] <rpadovani> https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice/pull/1423/files
[18:08] <cjwatson> thanks!
[22:52] <wgrant> cjwatson: Seems pretty pointless to me.
[23:09] <cjwatson> wgrant: OK, so PL/pgSQL PERFORM looks up the other function by name rather than having a precompiled handle to it or something?
[23:11] <wgrant> Oh right, I remember the history here.
[23:13] <wgrant> I can't see why the function was redefined, though. Might be worth deleting it from the patch and running the spec privacy tests.

[05:50] <fabbione> lamont-away: how do i netboot ia64?
[05:50] <fabbione> if possible at all
[05:51] <lamont-away> trivial, I'm told
[05:51] <fabbione> hmm ok..
[05:51] <lamont-away> not that I've ever done it, mind you...
[05:51] <fabbione> ehehe
[05:51] <fabbione> how do i break into the EFI stuff?
[05:51] <lamont-away> arrow keys
[05:51] <fabbione> the only thing i saw at boot is "press space to continue"
[05:51] <fabbione> ok
[05:52] <lamont-away> after hitting space
[05:52] <lamont-away> it gives you a boot menu prompt - one of the things on that machine currently is 'ubuntu'
[05:52] <lamont-away> etc,
[05:52] <lamont-away> at that point, you start using arrow keys, and you become the controlling manager of your destiny
[05:53] <fabbione> cranky
[05:53] <fabbione> it doesn
[05:53] <lamont-away> host foo.baz.com { filename "/elilo.efi";hardware ethernet ??:??:??...; fixed-address foo.baz.com; }
[05:53] <lamont-away> in dhcpd.conf
[05:53] <fabbione> it doesn't sense space or arrows from the serial
[05:53] <lamont-away> elilo.efi: MS Windows PE executable
[05:54] <lamont-away> in /tftpboot
[05:54] <lamont-away> sure it does - they generate escape sequences..
[05:54] <lamont-away> or something like that.
[05:54] <fabbione> it didn't
[05:54] <lamont-away> it's not some lightweight dumb serial interface, oh no.  iz smart.
[05:55] <lamont-away> hrm...
[05:55] <fabbione> it scans for USB keyboars
[05:55] <fabbione> rants that there are none
[05:55] <lamont-away> yeah - give it one.
[05:55] <fabbione> ok
[05:55] <fabbione> so i use the USB keybord and serial output
[05:55] <lamont-away> I'd reboot my zx2000, but it's busy trying to freshen its mirror...
[05:55] <fabbione> fancy!
[05:56] <fabbione> no problem
[05:56] <fabbione> don't worry
[05:56] <lamont-away> oh, it's better than that - just wait.. :0)
[05:56] <fabbione> ahahhaha
[05:56] <lamont-away> checking for XT... configure: error: Package requirements (sm x11 xproto kbproto) were not met:
[05:59] <fabbione> ok
[05:59] <fabbione> keyboard plugged
[05:59] <fabbione> machine rebootinh
[06:06] <fabbione> minicom sucks
[06:06] <fabbione> it didn't sense the serial
[06:19] <fabbione> lamont-away: yeps.. it
[06:19] <fabbione> lamont-away: yeps.. it's working.. or at least it looks like :)
[06:20] <lamont-away> cool
[06:21] <lamont-away> hey - does this mean you got things rearranged before your deadline?
[06:21] <fabbione> oh yeah
[06:21] <fabbione> i finished to rearrange yesterday
[06:21] <lamont-away> the fact that you're alive and all that, eh?
[06:21] <fabbione> i still have stuff without power :)
[06:21] <lamont-away> ew
[06:21] <fabbione> i did run out of power and net cords
[06:21] <fabbione> http://www.fabbione.net/new_office.jpg
[06:22] <fabbione> it's a big image
[06:22] <fabbione> it clearly shows that i need a rack :)
[06:25] <fabbione> btw.. nfs on hppa is no go
[06:25] <lamont-away> but that's a wonderful table the J5K makes, eh?
[06:25] <fabbione> oh yeah
[06:25] <fabbione> there was an amazing stain of coffee on it :)
[06:25] <fabbione> original american HP coffee :)
[06:25] <lamont-away> what's next to the sparc?
[06:25] <lamont-away> yep.  coffee goes places... like .dk
[06:25] <fabbione> it's the old 441
[06:26] <lamont-away> ah, ok
[06:26] <fabbione> just a normal p4
[06:26] <fabbione> nothing fancy
[06:26] <fabbione> the sparc is there only to balance the table :)
[06:26] <fabbione> it's the broken one ;)
[06:26] <lamont-away> lol
[06:26] <fabbione> the working one is right below the cisco switch
[06:26] <fabbione> you can barely see it in the pic
[06:26] <fabbione> the dell on the bottom is my server
[06:26] <fabbione> and the little thing on top of the ia64 is a thin client
[06:27] <fabbione> got it at UBZ from the LTSP guys
[06:27] <fabbione> i still have 3 monitors not in use from the 441
[06:28] <fabbione> i was plannning to hook them up on the hppa and ia64
[06:28] <fabbione> but i did run out of space
[06:28] <fabbione> + the other details like power cords :)
[06:28] <lamont-away> sounds like you need to kick your wife out or something, to make room, huh?
[06:28] <fabbione> notice the cartoon boxes on the side?
[06:28] <fabbione> the entire wall is full of them
[06:29] <lamont-away> is that what those are
[06:29] <fabbione> we still need to unpack them since we did move in the house
[06:29] <fabbione> nah there is all sort of junk in them
[06:29] <fabbione> but we don't have space in other rooms where to store them atm
[06:30] <fabbione> so the plan is to finish the house, unpack them
[06:31] <fabbione> rearrange the office in a more usable and nice way :)
[06:35] <fabbione> MEHHH
[06:35] <lamont-away> monday I need to go get some PC2700 ram instead of the PC133 sticks I got earlier.  sigh.
[06:36] <fabbione> it didn't go very well
[06:36] <fabbione> FATAL: Error inserting sym53c8xxscsi_mod: value -6917529019003397936 out of IMMe
[06:36] <fabbione> it did install the -mkinley kernel
[06:39] <fabbione> either the initrd is missing a module..
[06:39] <fabbione> or the kernel sucks
[06:42] <lamont-away> 2.6.15?
[06:42] <lamont-away> when I did the install before I shipped it, I just used a breezy CD
[06:43] <fabbione> i am doing breezy net install
[06:43] <fabbione> probably it did install just the standard -itanium kernel
[06:43] <fabbione> i can do that easily
[06:59] <fabbione> yup
[06:59] <fabbione> it's either a broken initrd or the mckinley kernel is totally broken
[07:00] <fabbione> i will have to dig into it
[07:10] <fabbione> Linux golion 2.6.15-8-itanium-smp #1 SMP Tue Dec 13 05:44:26 UTC 2005 ia64 GNU/Linux
[07:10] <fabbione> i would say it works :)
[07:20] <lamont-away> fabbione: SCORE
[07:20] <lamont-away> it may also just be elilo not auto-running on kernel install - although I haven't seen that, iirc
[07:21] <fabbione> lamont-away: no, it
[07:21] <fabbione> lamont-away: no, it's either the initrd missing a module or the kernel
[07:21] <fabbione> elilo did run fine
[07:21] <fabbione> good night
[07:22] <lamont-away> thanks

[03:49] <arose> Is it possible to separate a file into two or more pieces in a way that bazaar is aware that it's not just some code deleted in one file and other code created in a new one?
[03:50] <exarkun> arose: What if you 'bzr copy' the file and then edit each?
[03:50] <arose> Sounds like that would work, thanks
[03:52] <arose> ...is there a 'bzr copy'?
[03:55] <exarkun> :(
[03:55] <exarkun> not sure why I thought so, I must be mixing up systems, sorry
[03:59] <arose> I guess not quite yet, finally found info on it, so in that sense "bzr copy" helped http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/BzrFileCopies
[04:37] <exarkun> Ughh
[04:37] <exarkun> The Windows installer fails with a "Runtime Error!"
[04:37] <exarkun> R6034
[04:38] <exarkun> Actually, it fails with about a thousand of them.
[04:38] <exarkun> ... each has to be dismissed individually
[05:57] <exarkun> Should I be trying to make bzr-svn use python-tdb on Windows too?  Or is that beyond the realm of conception?
[10:14] <mgz> hm, two interesting things since last I were here.
[10:15] <mgz> alexander hit the testtools traceback-isn't-unicode issue (good news there, nearly done with fix)
[10:17] <mgz> and a twisted guy has a french nix system (bit more work, getting non-english errors printing correctly is also on my list)
[10:48] <lifeless> mgz: cool
[10:50] <mgz> on the less cool side of things, bug 583941 ...ugh
[10:51] <lifeless> uhmm
[10:51] <lifeless> that 56 would be better as 56/TOP
[10:51] <lifeless> who runs ubotu again
[10:53] <jpds> lifeless: tsimpson on #ubuntu-irc.
[10:53] <lifeless> meh, that channel mocks people
[10:53] <lifeless> :P
[10:54] <lifeless> and its sunday evening ;)
[10:54] <mgz> okay, actually that bug isn't our problem.
[10:55] <mgz> can I dupe something against a Python bug?
[10:55] <mgz> or is even launchpad not that amazing yet...
[10:56] <lifeless> what you do
[10:56] <lifeless> is click on 'affects other project'
[10:56] <lifeless> add the url there to the python upstream bug
[10:57] <lifeless> and mark our task as you think is appropriate
[10:58] <mgz> hm, this is actually a little complicated, better explain in a comment
[11:08] <mgz> wow, that... picked up the bugs from my comment?
[11:10] <lifeless> no?
[11:10] <mgz> there's a "Remote bug watches" thing on the right, with the bug numbers
[11:11] <lifeless> ah, yes. nice
[11:17] <mgz> might be something else to bug exarkun about, he landed the other socket bug for us, getting the fix for <http://bugs.python.org/issue1628205> on 2.6 as well would be great
[11:19] <lifeless> exarkun: ^
[15:28] <exarkun> lifeless: http://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/builders/winxp32-py2.5-select/builds/8/steps/bzr/logs/stdio :)
[15:28] <exarkun> lifeless: maybe we can trade
[15:31] <spiv> exarkun: get one builder to do the conversion from svn, and have the rest branch from that?
[15:31]  * spiv -> zzz
[15:33] <mgz> a trade is fair :)
[15:33] <mgz> and that looks like a straight-up bug in bzr-svn on windows
[15:33] <mgz> the retrying thing is bogus though
[15:33] <exarkun> I need a little more info about <http://bugs.python.org/issue1628205> though.  The last few comments sound like "fix applied" to me.
[15:34] <mgz> it is applied, on trunk.
[15:34] <mgz> http://svn.python.org/view?view=rev&revision=74426
[15:34] <mgz> I'm right in thinking that the next 2.6 is going to be the last bug fix release, right?
[15:35] <exarkun> People have said stuff to that effect, I think
[15:35] <exarkun> So, backport the fix, gotcha
[15:36] <exarkun> This patch looks super awesome
[15:36] <exarkun> My favorite part so far:
[15:36] <exarkun> del data  # explicit free
[15:38] <jelmer_> mgz: it's a known issue with sqlite caching on windows
[15:38] <jelmer_> mgz: unfortunately there isn't really a good way around it with sqlite
[15:38] <mgz> that is a little special, and ideally all this catching and retrying would happen at the C level in Python
[15:38] <mgz> but... that's been an open bug since 2002 or so.
[15:39] <mgz> got a bug number jelmer?
[15:40] <jelmer_> 520694
[15:40] <mgz> ta.
[15:43] <mgz> okay, so a fix for twisted would be to serialise bzr-svn operations on windows
[15:45] <jelmer> mgz: the proper fix is to use a caching format that allows multiple concurrent writers; I have a plan on how to do this using bzr pack files
[15:45] <exarkun> which I could try to cobble together in an ad hoc way inside my buildbot configuration... or which bzr-svn itself could try to enforce on windows, where concurrent access is known to always be broken?
[15:45] <jelmer> but serializing bzr-svn operations is a good workaround
[16:02] <mgz> http://bugs.python.org/issue210599 was the one I was thinking of
[16:03] <mgz> the current signal/interrupt semantics in Python make it close to impossible to both 1) use signals, 2) use the standard library, and still write correct code
[16:04] <jelmer> ah
[16:10] <exarkun> mgz: Providing sensible semantics for combining blocking I/O and asynchronous signals might be beyond Python.
[16:31] <Lor> Pretty much any language, except Haskell.
[16:59] <exarkun> Could be
[16:59] <exarkun> mgz: issue1628205 backported to release26-maint, in any case
[17:02] <mgz> thanks!
[17:04] <mgz> I owe you some well-handled french OSError messages.
[18:33] <mkanat> Okay. I have local commits, I do bzr up, and I get a cryptic: bzr: ERROR: [Errno 13] Permission denied
[18:33] <mkanat> This is with 2.1.1.
[18:42] <mgz> look in your .bzr.log for the full traceback
[18:43] <mkanat> mgz: Yeah, I realized that.
[19:06] <exarkun> Anyone seen tree corruption on Windows with 2.1.1?
[19:10] <jelmer> exarkun: what do you mean by tree corruption?
[19:11] <exarkun> A file in a checkout has extra garbage at the end of it.  Perhaps bytes that belong to another file.
[19:11] <exarkun> Looking for possible causes other than bzr now, though.
[19:39] <mathbr> Hi. Is there some way to have --show-diff enabled by default for commits? I couldn’t really find an option for bazaar.conf.
[19:39] <cbz> jelmer: i have an odd problem where - for some reason - bzr-svn decided to commit a bunch of files to which there had been no changes. this was across a rebase operation (those files had been changed in the main branch - though other files had been changed too and were not committed). This only appears in the local repository
[19:40] <jelmer> cbz: I'm not sure I follow - the files were actually changed incorrectly?
[19:41] <cbz> jelmer: the files had been updated in the svn branch upstream. A subset of them show up in my commit after the rebase operation
[19:48] <jelmer> cbz: so what did bzr-svn do incorrectly exactly?
[19:50] <cbz> jelmer: i assume for some reasonnwhen bzr-svn pulled the files down (they are binaries btw png files) the modified time was marked incorrectly, which is why commit thought they were new?
[19:50] <cbz> or rather 'updated)
[20:07] <jelmer> cbz: modification times aren't used anywhere
[20:07] <cbz> odd - i wonder why commit thought they had been updated then
[20:29] <lifeless> exarkun: extra bytes - not that I know of
[20:29] <jelmer> cbz: how do you tell they've been modified?
[20:30] <jelmer> if they haven't actually changed in content I mean
[20:31] <cbz> jelmer: i don't, bzr (q)commit tries to commit them
[20:31] <cbz> or actually commited them
[20:35] <jelmer> cbz: what changes does it claim they have?
[20:43] <lifeless> poolie: morning!
[20:44] <poolie> hi there
[20:44] <lifeless> jetlagged ?
[20:44] <poolie> a bit
[20:44] <lifeless> :P
[21:19] <cbz> jelmer: when i double click it says the files are identical (the change has already gone in)
[21:46] <poolie> lifeless, https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mbp/bzr/doc/+merge/25400 updated if you want to reread it; not urgent
[21:47] <poolie> lifeless, btw, you're it this week for pp
[21:55] <lifeless> thanks
[21:56] <lifeless> I have another small tweak up for hydrazine btw
[21:58] <poolie> i'm going to finish an output_encoding option for bialix
[22:31] <lifeless> poolie: your doc branch
[22:31] <lifeless> poolie: I've commented -twice- - the second one is just 'please mention commit messages on merge proposals' ;) but it should be landed
[22:33] <poolie> ok, i just asked again because you said you only scanned it
[22:33] <lifeless> ah
[22:34] <lifeless> if you want a line by line review I can, but it seems to be largely moves, which is a pain to deal with IME
[22:34] <lifeless> I'm inclined with large doc changes to get them in and deal with fallout as it is discovered - a lot more mutable than code.
[22:35] <mgz> ugh, I need to commit something here before this diff gets any bigger
[22:35] <mgz> it's already nightmarish
[22:35] <mgz> Robert is going to hate me.
[22:35] <lifeless> no
[22:35] <lifeless> I don't hate contributors
[22:35] <lifeless> I may find it hard to review.
[22:42] <poolie> lifeless, i agree about the moves and about docs
[22:42] <poolie> it's easier to read the whole resulting product and see if it makes esnse
[23:05] <wapcaplet> Hello all. Long time bzr user, first time caller :-) I recently started using bzr-svn, and noticed that when I use 'bzr log', it reports the svn revno for everyone else's commits, but not for my own commits. Anyone know what's up with that?
[23:05] <lifeless> well, you're probably committing locally, in bzr ?
[23:06] <wapcaplet> lifeless: I don't remember exactly how I originally branched, but my commits are going straight to svn
[23:06] <lifeless> could you run 'bzr info' in your branch, and paste it somewhere
[23:07] <lifeless> if there is stuff you want to obfuscate thats fine - just keep the sense of it intact
[23:07] <wapcaplet> sure - http://pastebin.com/M4mJFxzm
[23:07] <wapcaplet> not sure what's up with that related branch... that was from a while ago
[23:11] <wapcaplet> IIRC, I originally checked out like 'bzr init-repo tovid; cd tovid; bzr checkout svn+ssh:// ....'
[23:11] <lifeless> ok
[23:11] <lifeless> you have a local reop
[23:11] <lifeless> reop
[23:11] <lifeless> that is getting your commits
[23:11] <lifeless> and then they are translated to svn commits
[23:12] <lifeless> so your commits *start* in bzr and don't get an svn revno attached as a result
[23:12] <wapcaplet> aha
[23:12] <lifeless> you could file a bug, if you like - this is in principle fixable
[23:12] <lifeless> -> bank for a few minutes.
[23:14] <wapcaplet> svn has a similar quirk of its own... the revno of the last commit isn't correctly reported until after doing an 'svn up'


[13:16] <thebwt> fun, doing linux stuff?
[23:35] <tiwake> thebwt: well, yeah.. kinda... my desktop is linux so I technically do linux stuff every day
[23:41] <thebwt> Hah
[23:47] <tiwake> thebwt: I did just finish testing some hard drives for a server I'm getting ready to build

[07:37] <jtv> dimitern: we have a scheduling conflict for a 08:00 UTC call.  Can we have it at 09:00 UTC like we said originally?
[07:40] <dimitern> jtv, yes, I don't know what happened :/ I remember setting it for an hour later, will reschedule
[07:40] <rvba> dimitern: thanks
[07:42] <jtv> Thanks dimitern
[07:42] <dimitern> jtv, rvba, if you refresh do you see it scheduled correctly this time?
[07:42] <rvba> dimitern: yes
[07:42] <jtv> Yes.
[07:42] <dimitern> good :)
[08:26] <jake6a> can someone help me with the installation of JuJu with MaaS ?
[08:28] <jake6a> I have an actual Ubuntu machine setup, installed MaaS on it, trying to bootstrap juju but it returns with 409 CONFLICT error
[09:06] <bigjools> hardware drivers are still not documented, are they?
[09:07] <bigjools> jake6a: did you enlist any nodes to maas yet?  409 means maas can't find a suitable node to allocate to juju
[09:07] <jake6a> I did not
[09:08] <jake6a> I tried doing so in the MaaS web interface but they get stuck in "Commissioning"
[09:08] <bigjools> what sort of nodes are you adding?
[09:08] <bigjools> and power types?
[09:09] <jake6a> I did a wake-on-lan
[09:09] <jake6a> I'll tell you my setup
[09:10] <jake6a> I'm using a Mac and I have another Ubuntu machine setup with Maas installed, I want to run a Juju-maas environment so I can run services like mysql and wordpress for example
[09:11] <jake6a> I've installed Juju on the Mac and Maas on the Ubuntu machine
[09:11] <bigjools> what are you going to use as nodes?
[09:12] <jake6a> I was planning on using the Ubuntu machine
[09:12] <bigjools> you can't do that, you installed maas on it
[09:12] <jake6a> Is it even possible to use the same machine as a node to the Maas server?
[09:12] <jake6a> I see
[09:12] <jake6a> Ok then, can I install a VM Ubuntu on my mac, and act that as a node for example?
[09:12] <bigjools> you need a machine with nothing on it, maas will control it entirely
[09:12] <bigjools> yes, VMs are fine
[09:12] <bigjools> there is a section in the documentation on how to set that up
[09:13] <bigjools> please follow it carefully
[09:13] <jake6a> Alright, I am installing the virtual machine now
[09:13] <jake6a> Could you link me to that section please?
[09:13] <bigjools> sure
[09:13] <bigjools> http://maas.ubuntu.com/docs1.5/nodes.html#virtual-machine-nodes
[09:15] <jake6a> So after adding that node, Juju bootstrap should work fine?
[09:15] <bigjools> yes
[09:15] <bigjools> as long as the node was commissioned
[09:15] <bigjools> and goes READY
[09:15] <bigjools> you'll need a second one to deploy a charm
[09:16] <jake6a> So I'll need one more VM ?
[09:17] <bigjools> as many VMs as you want charms deployed
[09:17] <jake6a> I see
[09:18] <jake6a> So for one charm setup, I will use
[09:18] <jake6a> 1- Ubuntu server with Maas
[09:18] <jake6a> 2- Ubuntu VM as a node
[09:18] <jake6a> 3- Juju on Mac
[09:18] <jake6a> correct?
[09:18] <bigjools> you can run juju anywhere
[09:18] <bigjools> well, the cmd line I mean, it then installs itself on the bootstrap node
[09:21] <jake6a> Cool, I'll try this now, thanks a lot bigjools
[09:21] <bigjools> welcome
[09:21] <jake6a> I might be having some little trouble with the configurations though, is it okay if I report back?
[09:21] <bigjools> in my own setup I run juju on the maas server
[09:21] <bigjools> I won't be around, I'm leaving now, but someone may help
[09:22] <jake6a> Alright, thanks a lot
[10:38] <gmb> allenap, jtv, rvba: Can has review? https://code.launchpad.net/~gmb/maas/static-ip-sanity-checks/+merge/225935
[10:38] <gmb> Oh, hang on
[10:38] <gmb> conflicts
[10:39] <allenap> gmb: Claimed!
[10:39] <jtv> Drat.
[10:39] <gmb> allenap: Ta. Conflicts fixed.
[10:39]  * gmb -> lunch
[10:40]  * jtv → different lunch
[10:57] <jake6a> bigjools: still there?
[11:01] <jpds> Why would MAAS suddenly start complaining about RPC information for a cluster controller not being available?
[11:05] <jpds> Apparently re-enlisting the node makes everything work again.
[12:06] <gmb> allenap: Have replied to your review. Thankee :)
[13:44] <blake_r> allenap: rvba: here is the fix for the migration https://code.launchpad.net/~blake-rouse/maas/append-current-dir-for-boot-images-migration/+merge/225972
[13:45] <allenap> blake_r: I’m otp, but I’ll look when I’m done.
[13:45] <blake_r> allenap: cool
[13:46] <rvba> blake_r: cool, I'll have a look.
[13:46] <blake_r> rvba: thanks
[13:46] <blake_r> rvba: sorry for the bad code, previously
[13:46] <rvba> blake_r: no worries, it happens to everyone.
[14:37] <rvba> blake_r: testing your fix now
[14:47] <blake_r> rvba: is it working?
[14:49] <rvba> blake_r: still importing the images with MAAS 1.5…
[14:49] <blake_r> rvba: okay
[14:59] <rvba> blake_r: after the upgrade, I'm seeing http://paste.ubuntu.com/7765995/ in celery.log
[15:03] <blake_r> rvba: that was an issue with bigjools added subarches to maas.meta
[15:03] <blake_r> rvba: need to handle that key missing
[15:04] <rvba> This means the reporting of the images didn't happen. And thus we cannot QA your change properly.
[15:04] <blake_r> Okay, I will update the branch to check for key. One sec
[15:04] <rvba> I still think your branch is sane… but we need to get to a state where we can do a full QA.
[15:05] <rvba> blake_r: can you explain why the key is missing?
[15:06] <blake_r> rvba: because when bigjools add the supported_subarches column to the database, it needs to be reported every time the report_boot_images is called
[15:06] <blake_r> rvba: in 1.5 that wasn't there
[15:06] <rvba> I see
[15:06] <blake_r> rvba: so for 1.6 he added a maas.meta file under boot-resource/current
[15:06] <blake_r> rvba: that contains the subarches key
[15:07] <rvba> bigjools: what about the upgrade path for this? ^
[15:08] <blake_r> rvba: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7766045/
[15:08] <blake_r> rvba: try that fix to see if ti fixes it
[15:09] <blake_r> rvba: i can add it to my branch it it does
[15:09] <rvba> Testing it now…
[15:14] <rvba> blake_r: it fixed the crash…
[15:17] <blake_r> rvba: okay I will include it in my branch
[15:17] <blake_r> rvba: let me add a test as well
[15:18] <rvba> Cool; I cleared the BootImage table, let's see if it gets re-populated correctly when the parsing task runs.
[15:18] <rvba> Yep, it worked okay.
[15:19] <blake_r> Awesome
[15:20] <rvba> blake_r: please add a comment in the code for the 'subarches = mapping.mapping[image]['subarches']' statement; why we need to do this is non-obvious.
[15:21] <allenap> blake_r: The branch linked to https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1319143: is that really related to that bug?
[15:21] <blake_r> rvba: okay
[15:21] <rvba> Ta
[15:22] <blake_r> the boot-image-xinstall?
[15:22] <blake_r> no it was linked to RPC os
[15:23] <blake_r> it fixed an issue to not needing RPC for every curtin request
[15:23] <blake_r> idk why it was moved
[15:26] <allenap> blake_r: Do you know what bug number that other bug has? I’ll move it (because I want to steal bug 1319143).
[15:26] <blake_r> oh wait sorry, it is related to that bug
[15:27] <blake_r> without that branch an RPC cal was going to be needed
[15:53] <blake_r> allenap: can we get this one merged, https://code.launchpad.net/~blake-rouse/maas/license-key-views/+merge/224808
[15:53] <blake_r> allenap: since your working on the PRC stuff
[15:53] <blake_r> allenap: RPC*
[15:57] <allenap> blake_r: I’ve added a comment saying I think it’s okay to land.
[15:58] <blake_r> allenap: awesome thanks
[16:51] <jose> hey guys, I have a maas created on a server, and then I try to add a node by enlisting it with ubiquity, but it just doesn't appear, any ideas on what may be going on?
[16:51] <jose> like, the server turns off but I don't get the node on the maas
[18:19] <newell> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7766897/
[18:19] <newell> nevermind that...
[23:56] <diffen_> Evning, im planning on installing ubuntu-maas and on top of that virtual box for different servers. I wonder if thats a good solution to have and if the hardware power from the computers are spread across the computers so if one hardware goes offline the virtual machine are not troubled by that.
