<0> dereks: With hdparm /dev/{DRIVE-NAME}
<1> kiroh, I don't know a lot about it either, I just know how to type, press enter, and auto-enter peoples names
<2> how can i speak whit only one person?
<3> dragonseye78, ask, maybe, if you're lucky, someone has the answer
<3> kiroh, /msg <nick>
<4> i want to test if ubuntu works fine with my ATI before installing it ? anyone know a way to load ATI proprietary driver without rebooting ?
<5> kiroh: you need to register first, with nickserv, and then can "/query dooglus" to open a window to me
<6> I have multiple users set up, ATI 9800Pro, only my account gets decent FPS
<7> cge: using_dma = 1 (on)
<1> dooglus, what's nickserv? lol
<0> nicoco: Do you need the closed driver? The open driver generally works very well.
<2> ok
<0> dereks: Hmm... that isn't it then.
<8> eh
<8> wish there was portage for ubuntu :/
<2> nickserv
<3> dragonseye78, you want to add your users to the video group probably
<2> esadafuhsdlj
<5> phoghawk: it's how you register your nickname here. type "/msg nickserv register babababa" (where that last word is a p***word of your choice)
<0> nekostar: What do you mean? What feature do you need from portage?
<4> to be honest, i want to try XGL
<2> i will read the help first
<1> dooglus, is there a particular reason you do that? just to retain your username?
<0> nicoco: Ah! I see.
<9> Is it reasonable to have a RAID5 software array mounted as / ?
<4> ;)
<4> cge : so is there a way ?
<6> Well, I have it set up for them to use 3d graphics... how else would you set that up?
<5> phoghawk: this network won't let you talk privately if you're not registered.
<7> maybe its because xorg is using 50% of the cpu on the other machine (sshd using the other 50!)
<1> dooglus, oh, okay, thanks
<0> dereks: That could be!
<5> phoghawk: but yes, it's a way of reserving your nick. next time you log in, type "/msg nickserv identify babababab" to prove you're the same person.
<5> dereks: xorg doesn't usually use a lot of CPU - is the other machine running a heavy screensaver?
<0> nicoco: You might be able to install the driver on the LiveCD. I'm not sure.
<7> dooglus: it shouldn't be
<3> dragonseye78, agpart is rw for root and the group video only, add your users to the group video
<0> dereks: Is it running Dapper?
<7> cge: yea
<0> dereks: Gnome-screensaver does not properly detect when a screen is not being shown.
<5> dereks: what's on its X display that could be keeping xorg busy?
<6> I'll play with that,thanx
<7> cge, dooglus: it was just a vnc session that i killed, xorg is off now and not hogging the cpu
<7> same problem though
<7> and the load averagei s going down a lot
<10> what is that web site that has the unofficial repositories listed?? - I completely forgot the name
<8> cge,
<8> the ability to easily compile correctly any piece of software i can think of.
<6> Just checked, all accounts are showing under "Video"
<5> dereks: can you try transferring a file using http, or ftp, or some other protocol?
<8> i literally would love a portage package
<3> dragonseye78, you might also want to consider adding them to the groups dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner for other access
<11> syllogism, google "ubuntu source-o-matic" and click on first hit
<0> nekostar: Hmm... there is apt-get source, or apt-build.
<10> thanks
<7> dooglus: i don't think its the protocol (plus i am transferring a huge file, don't want to stop it now
<5> dereks: if you "pkill -STOP scp", it will pause the transfer without killing it dead. "pkill -CONT scp" will resume it
<0> dereks: Just start transferring some random file and see if it has the same behavior. Maybe from a different disk, if you can.
<12> is there a way to make apt use more than one thread for building applications on a dual processor machine?
<0> Stormy: what are you using to build?
<5> dereks: how's the CPU on the remote box now that xorg is behaving itself? is sshd using 100% now?
<13> do all linux torrent clients run in the background? when restart the shut down log shows "stopping torrent tracker"
<12> cge dual p3 1ghz 2gb ram
<12> and apt
<14> can someone help me with wma support for xmms? i have already tried RestrictedFormats (i already have w32codecs) and the solution on the XMMS wiki page (404 error) andi even tried EasyUbuntu but it is still not working. and i am VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY SURE that the files are NOT DRMed.
<13> as far as i know trackers are the server the the torrent is linked to
<0> Stormy: How do you build something with apt? You mean apt-get source, or apt-build?
<15> something very strange just happened
<5> nf4: it says that for me even though I uninstalled the bittorrent package.
<12> cge apt-get
<7> cge, dooglus i just tried via ftp (not encrypted) same problem
<15> could anyone read what I wrote before?
<7> cpu is fine now, load of 55
<13> when i uninstalled bit torrrent that stoped
<16> Hey! Is it possible to use a floppy (or other removable media) to boot to Ubuntu? As in, I'd like to boot to XP if nothing is in the drive so that the rest of my family does not have to deal with a boot screen.
<0> dereks: Same disk?
<17> is there anyway to make ubuntu use usernames like firstname.lastname?
<5> Blue89: I didn't see you say anything for a long time
<3> PFA, there are very recent wma formats that are not yet support, as I hear
<7> cge, dooglus: source disk was the same (only one disc on the comp) remote disk was different
<12> cge alright nm, i'm just dumb sometimes i forgot deb's were binary
<15> dooglus, ty
<12> sorry cge
<5> scotty: you can use longer usernames if you like
<3> PFA, do you have a link to one that doesn't work?
<13> it is odd becouse i dosnt show up under the system resources
<17> when i tried to use that username on the install it got kinda ticked at me.
<15> I had a failed hibernation session, then my desktop environment was not opening
<0> Stormy: Oh - I see. You can actually build files using apt-get source, in which case you want to change the debian/rules file to use make -j NUM_OF_PROCS instead of make.
<6> jsut set up on some other groups, will try, thanx
<14> nickrud: it is a bunch of files; none of my WMA files will work
<5> scotty: oh, I'm not sure whether dots are allowed in usernames. I'm not admin on this box so I can't check
<3> scotty, periods are not acceptable in usernames I think
<18> Aeo there are boot managers on cd..
<0> scotty: I think periods are acceptable - one moment.
<17> um...my corp. ldap uses them..
<13> Aeo i know there are guides to flash cards that you can boot from
<19> Aeo: there are three main ways to do that: livecd (slow but requires the least work), dual boot but make windows the default in grub (medium work, requires enough hard drive space for both), or dual boot but let windows overwrite the MBR so linux won't boot without a boot floppy/cd/usb-drive/whatever
<17> i think i kinda need that to login.
<3> PFA, it's hard to tell, without a hard file to compare
<12> cge yea but if i wanted source i'd be using gentoo
<13> like ubs flash cards
<20> any fix for kernel panic-not syncing: attempted to kill init!
<21> where would I find the crontab of a user, when the systems hd is mounted on to another file system ? Where is user crontab stored ?
<20> it really ****s, and is keeping me @ fedora
<15> I did a ctrl-alt-f1 to find the problem in a terminal, and for some reason, the desktop suddenly opened, and I was allowed to delete a locked file from my desktop. there is a permissions problem, right?
<22> Hey guys: I'm in ircII..when I logged out GDM locked up, and now I can't boot into gnome..ati drivers are fine, it's something I did to the mouse with imwheel package
<13> or even the regular kind if you use a usb port
<5> KanRiNiN: "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" help?
<20> apt-get instal kdm
<20> heh heh
<0> scotty: It works, but you have to use --force-badname when using adduser.
<16> Um, alright, I'd prefer it if no action were necessary (not even a Grub boot screen) unless I specifically want to boot into Ubuntu, at which point I'd insert some form of media.
<23> hello, i have a problem. i have an intel video card (900 on acer travelmate) and the 1st time i play a video it works ok, but the 2nd time it has VERY high contrast
<15> I did sudo in the terminal, that must have allowed the desktop environment to show and delete that file
<17> ah.
<17> cge: so on the install, just make some regualr account, then create a new one when done?
<3> babo, /var/spool/cron/crontabs/
<22> no, gdm won't start..I uninstalled the imwheel pacakage, and then it locks up
<16> So, HedgeMaze, I think your third option is the best. I'd still like to have Ubuntu reside on its partition, just inaccessible until I want it.
<0> scotty: Yes, if the install program won't let you.
<3> badnames, that will be easy to remember :)
<22> how do I scroll up in ircII or change consoles?
<17> cge: cool thanks!
<19> Aeo: In that case, partition the HD, install ubuntu on one partition, then install windows on the other (windoze will eat the MBR and take it over) just make sure to have an ubuntu boot disk handy for when you want to boot
<5> Aeo: that's possible, that's how I used to do it 10 years ago - the PC booted into windows unless I inserted the magic linux boot cd.
<0> scotty: There is the possibility that something will break, but I have found that names with strange chars are generally stable. I've even used one with a | in the name and a tab in the p***word. Everything worked except GDM, which is broken with regards to p***word entry :)
<17> :P
<5> Aeo: I don't know how you would make such a boot disk for ubuntu though. (and I meant 'floppy', not 'cd')
<17> cge: so is that indicative of an MS domain controller or something? the dot name thing?
<22> q
<22> asdf
<22> help
<22> Q
<16> HedgeMaze: I already have both installed and would prefer not to have to reinstall Windows or touch that partition at all. I know that the DOS fixmbr command will accomplish the same thing. How do I make an ubuntu boot disk? I wouldn't be the same as a Live CD, would it?
<5> KanRiNiN: the pgup key
<0> Aeo: Install GRUB on a disk (you can probably get disk images off the internet), and then add the menu.lst from /boot.
<16> dooglus: That's exactly what I would like to have happen.
<0> scotty: I'm not sure.
<0> KanRiNiN: ? And running as root?
<24> can somebody help me get my resolution beyond 1024 * 768
<5> cge: he left...
<0> dooglus: I know.
