Comments:
<0> Otherwise no matter what I feel wide open to attack
<1> tonyyarusso: so microsofts biggest problem would be easy to solve then. just design vista so it logs in as regular user
<2> jjonjon, something like that, yes. :P Actually, I ran Windows for 6 years and never got a virus or infection - combination of luck & paranoia1
<3> hi somebody how use 915 resolution,,
<3> hi somebody knoes how use 915 resolution,,
<4> vladuz976: Secondly, there are some flaws in the way things are set up that allow programs to access something else which has a higher level of permissions than itself, meaning that a virus can escalate its priviledge level until it is sufficient to do damage.
<4> ubuntu: Are you trying to partition a mounted filesystem?
<5> no its a live cd
<0> Mad: likewise, paranoia and a router have equalled 3 years of virus free windows running
<4> vladuz976: Setting the default to be a regular user would be a very good first step. It would not fix everything, but would help a lot.
<6> how do i debug with anjuta?
<7> marco_: Yeah. What's up?
<8> what do you guys think about having an "official" ubuntu support system
<4> ubuntu: Could you restate it? I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding what you wrote.
<8> for newbie users
<9> tonyyarusso: alright well I got everything going now, but how can I start "3deskd" and"xbindkeys" every time I start gnome?
<4> vladuz976: Then there's the issue of backdoors, holes in the system that allow entry through various ports that shouldn't happen.
<4> Phunker: System > Preferences > Session > Start Up.
<1> tonyyarusso: well then i am glad linux doesn't have those flaws
<9> cool, I was going to edit one of my rc files
<10> !nvidia
<11> well, nvidia is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
<3> <7>, i am on inspiron 6400, what i need to do , edit the txt file?
<9> I figured gnome or ubuntu had some thing for it
<4> vladuz976: Additionally, the way Internet Explorer is tightly integrated into the operating system makes it very vulnerable to all things internet related, again allowing them more access than they would otherwise have.
<4> vladuz976: Me too :)
<0> tony: I hear they're finally divesting IE from Vista
<1> i read, since judd is stepping down this distro will become more stable with older software. so is it going to be more like slackwar then?
<7> marco_: 915resolution is a command line utility.
<4> jjonjon: Say what? (And do you have a URL?)
<0> Oh now you're going to make me find the link
<3> <7>, ok , how i set the screen configuration
<4> vladuz976: Never tried Slack myself. I came straight to Hoary (v5.04) from WinXP, and don't intend to bother with anything else.
<4> jjonjon: Hehe, of course!
<2> cyphase, isn't that this channel? ;)
<8> Madpilot, unfourtanetly not
<0> What kind of desktop enviroment would you stick on a Pentium II 400mhz with 256mb of ram?
<7> marco_: Well, as I recall, you run the utility with the -l switch and it will list the available video modes.
<8> maybe we don't need it now
<1> tonyyarusso: the intersting thing about arch as compared to ubuntu is that it doesn't do everything for you
<8> but if ubuntu is to grow, something will need to evolve for support
<2> cyphase, here, forums, wiki, official onboard docs - what do you think is missing?
<5> tonyyarusso; from a live cd so partition is not mounted ok I have one partition on my hd /dev/hda1 its ubuntu its size 38154 and I want to resize - with gparted or from the command line whichever but gparted starts the process of resizing with e2fck -fy goes through the whole process i can see the unallocated space for a few seconds then it reverts back the the original partirion size is there something dsmeg can tell me?
<4> jjonjon: Probably XFCE? I'm sure it would run Gnome, just not sure how well.
<12> jjonjon: icewm, or ion2
<8> Madpilot, i mean for general users
<8> Madpilot, like my mom
<12> jjonjon: or fluxbox/blackbox.
<0> heh
<4> cyphase: The wiki seems very good to me, I'm a bit at a loss what you mean too.
<0> what browser is good? firefox isn't made for legacy boxen
<2> cyphase, so do I - at the least, the docs are aimed at regular users, and so is most of the wiki
<8> i mean something like support@ubuntu.com
<13> there is support@ubuntu.com?
<8> or a form on the website
<8> no
<4> cyphase: How would we handle the volume?
<7> marco_: Once you have the list, you then choose one to modify by slot number and specify the hres and vres.
<4> ubuntu: First, is there enough free space to do the resize?
<0> tony: found the link... quite some time ago!
<2> cyphase, there's something like that thru launchpad.net, but really the forums or IRC are a better bet
<8> tonyyarusso, i haven't given this any thought really
<4> cyphase: Okay.
<3> <7>, output say, 915resolution was unable to determine the chipset type.
<8> but we could ask people to sign up to get emails sent to that address
<8> so..
<14> jjonjon: I guess you could try galeon or epiphany.
<8> someone sends an email to support@ubuntu.com
<7> marco_: It only works on the Intel 800/900 chipsets, I think.
<8> and it goes to some random address
<2> cyphase, look on LP for the 'Support Tickets' feature
<0> http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=1371
<4> cyphase: One thing I will agree with is that we could do some work in the space between new user initial boot up and that user figuring out what the places to go for help are. Once that's covered, I think the resources that exist are quite good.
<8> Madpilot, my mom doesn't know what that is
<0> There
<12> seeya
<8> tonyyarusso, good point
<7> marco_: Are you sure you have an Intel-based graphics adapter?
<3> <7>, ok thanks
<2> cyphase, forums are probably the best bet for that sort of help, if the onboard docs don't work
<4> cyphase: I know I was a little confused. I largely stumpbled in here by accident, wondering what "XChat IRC" was all about. Lo and behold, I'd fallen into a support gold mine.
<8> lol
<2> tonyyarusso, well, you'd fallen into something, anyway... :P
<8> like i said, i hadn't thought much about it
<8> but you made a good point
<4> cyphase: There should probably be some first boot Gnome notification things or something like that to get people started.
<4> Madpilot: Hehe.
<8> kind of build on an older idea
<5> tonyyarusso: /dev/hda1 size is 38153 used 4279 unused 33875
<8> have an "Ubuntu Tour" at first boot
<9> tonyyarusso: that worked, had to do it twice because I didn't think I had to put the absolute path for the command at first ;)
<15> Nobody any idea about ROUTING under Ubuntu?
<4> cyphase: Exactly.
<8> not just how to get help, but basic about the OS itself
<8> basics*
<4> ubuntu: Man. Um, have you tried doing it from cli to see what other messages might exist?
<4> Phunker: Ah, right. Congrats on the second run then.
<13> cyphase, that's where LDAP comes... wikiwikiwiki and other documentation forms
<4> cyphase: There is some of that already (System > About Ubuntu), it just might not be obvious to look at it.
<5> tonyyarusso: no please make some suggestions
<0> I know this is completely the wrong channel for this, but has anyone ever tried skinning windows 98se?
<8> i know, but it would be cool if it was more advanced
<8> like with video and such :P
<16> hey
<9> Is there anyway to get superkaramba working properly under gnome? Or a similar app besides crummy gdesklets....
<16> kunnen jullie mischien ook nederlands
<16> ???
<13> jjonjon, ever heard of "tweakicon"?
<2> !nl
<11> Op #ubuntu-nl staat de koffie al voor je klaar.
<8> Phunker, yea, we need a better widget type thing
<13> windowzblind, etc, jjonjon ?
<9> Indeed, gdesklets ****, or the makers of the widgets ****, not sure which
<4> ubuntu: I haven't actually done this myself, but you'll be looking into the 'parted' utility. Read the --help and man first, and see what you can come up with. I wish I could help further, but I'm starting to be at a loss. Save whatever data you get and pastebin it; hopefully someone will know what's going on.
<8> it doesn't have a good community i think
<9> They are all ugly for the most part
<16> oke kunnen jullie ook nog gewoon nederlands praten
<16> ???
<16> yes???
<9> yes
<16> do your speakz netherlands
<13> damn
<4> cyphase: Actually, there's a tool in Dapper for making gif videos, and some of those are starting to show up on the wiki.
<14> People, please, mind your language and could we keep the conversation about Ubuntu and it's user support?
<8> Dashboard has a good community, therefore good widgets
<13> I don't speak Dutch... though
<8> byanz
<8> or something
<9> Dashboard?
<9> Hmm
<14> yentine: /join #ubuntu-nl They will help you there with your own language.
<8> Phunker, for OS X
<9> ahh ok
<4> cyphase: Yeah, something like that.
<5> tonyyarusso: is parted part of gparted? j
<4> ubuntu: parted is the cli tool; gparted is a GUI interface to it.
<13> it's the core of gparted/qtparted
<17> hey all, is there a command for a network interfaceto go get a new dhcp address?
<5> tonyyarusso: o k bit slow today day off work
<13> Auratus, "dhclient <interface>"
<13> or some may use "pump" (the Redhat version)
<16> yes i now
<18> maybe need 'sudo dhclient <interface>"
<10> how do you bind keys?
<17> healot, thx
<10> so I can use 3ddesktop
<10> ?
<8> is there a list of linux "Desktop 2.0" projects?
<8> :)
<0> windowblinds is almost impossible to obtain in a version that's 98
<4> GTroy: Install xbindkeys and xbindkeys-config, and run those to set them up. See also forums thread 79560.
