<0> what do you mean plus overhead?
<1> which is what I mean
<2> 24bit colour in linux is actually 24 bits of colour, while in windows 32bits of colour is 24bits of colour with overhead.
<2> bits that don't actually define colour is overhead
<3> apokryphos, not if you don't link to the FAQ it isn't. (Which FAQ, anyway?)
<4> is there a shortcut for terminal?
<0> what do you mean overhead though?
<5> boha_: you can make one
<1> Madpilot: it should be common-practice to read the /topic before you talk/once-you-enter the channel
<4> how?
<5> Ademan: things like alpha, etc
<2> 24 bits of colour is equivalent to 32bits of colour in windows all you need to know.
<3> apokryphos, nobody reads the /topic, ever :)
<6> um. if i hit CTRL ALT BACKSP while im on tty1 will it drop me?
<1> Madpilot: wrong :)
<7> How do i get to FAQ, and how can i just set my sources for multiverse?



<5> SurfnKid: no
<1> xxozxx: FAQ is in /topic
<6> wikid
<5> SurfnKid: that only works for X server
<8> anyone that have dapper6
<0> polpak: well exactly, thats the point, I'm trying to create a surface with 8 bits red 8 bits green 8 bits blue 8 bits alpha...
<6> pegfekt
<3> xxozxx, check your PM, you got one w/ Java info
<8> could do
<8> cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep PermitRootLogin
<9> boha_: go to System>Preferences>Shortcuts
<3> ubotu, tell xxozxx about multiverse
<8> anyone that have dapper6 could check this cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep PermitRootLogin if u have yes or not ?
<5> Ademan: using what library?
<9> boha_: or something like that (i'm on a dutch ubuntu)
<5> Ademan: and what programming language?
<0> SDL, c/c+
<0> +
<6> polpak: the liberty of not having to restart to apply settings, uff better :)
<0> well, SDL+openGL
<10> hey anyone know if i can remove gnome through apt-get if i got xfce installed
<5> Ademan: should work fine..
<6> brett: i think you can, im on xfce now
<0> polpak: I know, it used to under windows... could it be something with my video driver? i have the proprietary nvidia driver...
<6> brett: i just learned you can have all of them if you want
<3> brosioz, I get "cat: /etc/ssh/sshd_config: No such file or directory" - ssh server is never installed by default...
<5> Ademan: are you sure you have your driver installed right?
<8> obviusly if u have it :D
<0> polpak: everything else seems to work fine
<9> brosioz: i got yes
<5> Ademan: and why do you think that it's not working?
<5> Ademan: or rather what's not working about it?
<9> brosioz: and just install ssh
<6> brb reboot
<0> polpak: SDL_SetVideoMode returns NULL instead of a pointer to a valid surface (indicating failure)
<11> why did a firefox update remove/made disapear all my extensions ?
<0> i don't know if SDL has a more descriptive GetLastError type function
<12> webmind: An update to 1.5.0.4 ?
<13> does anyone happen to know of any 3'rd party repo's which have the latest gstreamer packages? or even a repo wit cvs builds?
<11> neutrinom***, the latest dapper update
<5> Ademan: dunno you should probably ask in the #sdl channel
<14> Hey, previously I added some windows NTFS partitions by changing the fstab textfile.. However I just enabled an NTFS partition using System > Administration > Disks... It seems to have worked - the files can be viewed in nautilus if it is opened with gksudo, however a normal user doesn't have permissions to access this partition .. What's the best way to change the permissions?????? thanks
<11> neutrinom***, yes
<15> Anyone know a good how-to on getting started with VPN on both windows and linux and with openvpn?
<12> webmind: There's an open bug about this somewhere, give me a moment ...
<0> turns out it was tripping up on the 32 bits of depth i was requesting, 24 works fine though, and 32 bits depth is really excessive anyways, so I dont really care
<12> webmind: Did you restart firefox after updating ?
<16> what would be the likely effect of removing ubuntu-desktop?
<3> Geoffrey2, not much
<15> removing ubuntu-desktop
<5> Geoffrey2: nothing.. it's just a meta package
<1> Geoffrey2: check the FAQ
<12> Geoffrey2: pretty much none ...
<17> hey ladies
<18> got a wierd question
<18> i just made an unpriveledged user that i want something to run as (and launching it would be done with a script)
<18> i want it to switch to the user using su, but i don't want a p***word prompt (i want it to work without p***word, basically as its an unpriveledged user and i want any user to be able to launch this script)
<15> Anyone know a good how-to on getting started with VPN on both windows and linux and with openvpn?
<19> anyone knows to use rdesktop
<11> neutrinom***, yes
<11> neutrinom***, that's when I lost them



<20> if anybody want to give a try: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=194695
<20> thanks
<12> webmind: Ok, then it's bug 49219. Feel free to mark it major, since it results in data loss.
<18> can i chance the users p***word to nothing, and still allow logins? (the accounts shell is the same as user sshd (/bin/false i think)
<18> and if i do this, would this work:
<18> su - TESTUSER -c nohup TESTCOMMAND&
<11> neutrinom***, nope my bookmarks are still there
<21> keleus: p***wd -d testuser
<11> neutrinom***, extensions are gone though
<21> keleus: this will delete p***word for this user
<18> will the user still log in?
<5> keleus: you can use sudo instead of su
<18> polpak: not interested in using sudo for this
<5> keleus: not really sure I understand what you're trying to do
<18> if any user runs /usr/share/TESTSCRIPT
<18> the command TESTCOMMAND would be run as TESTUSER
<18> who has no p***word, no system priveledges, and no shell.
<18> basically i want to run some daemon with no risk to my user(s) files
<18> hmm
<18> seems to not work properly
<22> does anyone know where i can get patches for my digital media card reader, and for my wifi card
<18> is there a way to launch something and have it automatically switch to a specific UID?
<23> keleus: not for a script, no
<22> i need a patch for my wireless card
<18> hyphenated: well, its a program being launched by a script
<23> keleus: is it a system program or one written by you?
<18> hyphenated: well, neither, its a downloaded binary
<23> ok. change the owner to testuser using 'chown'
<24> please, i have a problem
<23> then make it 'setuid' using chmod u+s
<20> why when i boot i have to login in dos like mode and run "startx" to get gdm to start? why it doesn't start automatically?
<17> does anyone have a pentium 4?
<23> you'll probably have to run both commands as root since you can't log in as that user
<19> anyone can help me?
<17> I would like to know how hot your cpu runs
<25> Hello all! :-)
<18> hyphenated: thanks!
<17> my cpu is 59 Celsius
<25> I've got a question regarding fglrx on the new Dapper
<24> i try to reestart GDM and it retourn: /etc/X11/X is not executable
<25> I recently upgraded from breezy to dapper, and as expected, fglrx/3D acceleration did not work anymore
<23> keleus: you pretty much never want to do that chmod u+s thing for programs owned by root, because then it will run with root privileges :-)
<18> hyphenated: heh
<25> previously, I had version 8.22.5, but what repository do I need to add in order to get the new xorg-driver-fglrx ?
<23> keleus: and it only works for binaries. you can't make a script "setuid"
<20> why when i boot i have to login in dos like mode and run "startx" to get gdm to start? why it doesn't start automatically?
<1> Hattori: if you sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart does it work?
<26> i get this error when i try to upgrade or install anything via apt-get: Segmentation faulty tree... 50%
<20> apokryphos: but i want it starts automatically at boot time, without i write "startx"
<24> please someone help me
<27> is there a openvpn gui client available in the repos?
<1> Hattori: yes...... instead of typing startx, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart next time.
<28> Elbrujo: don't ask for help... just ask what you want to ask.. .
<18> hyphenated: how do i find out the full path that bash is resolving from PATH?
<20> apokryphos: command not found =(
<1> keleus: echo $PATH
<1> Hattori: you must've not typed it correctly
<18> apokryphos: for the specific command.
<27> keleus: which ls
<29> !tell [D-Tail] about fglrx
<30> Hello everybody
<18> fyrestrtr: thanks
<27> keleus: which followed by the command name
<30> Do someone remember where I can set the default first day of the week?
<30> I thought it was in gnome-panel but I cannot find it :(
<24> i try to reestart GDM and it retourn: /etc/X11/X is not executable
<25> Frogzoo: thanks, but I already followed the fglrx install guide.... so that was a no-go for me :-(
<24> im try to change to Xgl
<20> apokryphos: sudo: /etc/init.d/gdm: command not found
<1> Hattori: how did you install
<31> Hattori, on the forum post you said you remover xserver-xorg it prob removed gdm also
<19> hello?
<24> but it don't start
<19> anyone can help me about rdesktop
