<10> Kyral_FreeBSD: what are you moral police?
<2> But would you perfer sticking with Debain or go with the extension of Ubuntu
<6> Stormx2, depends how many kernels and such you want to carry
<5> Google earth is only really useful if you want to locate secret government installations
<0> Rambo3: I just have seen way too many Ubuntu - Debian flamewars recently :P
<7> Hey, how do you install mp3 playing capabilities?
<1> Stormx2: well.. it screws up on the /boot instead of /.. *shrugs* :)

<12> lilbit: right, you get your choice of the environment to play it in
<13> !tell lilbit about pastebin
<1> lilbit, nethack-gnome
<14> lagggg
<12> lilbit: -console is the console version, gnome will play in gnome
<0> Debian is awesome for servers...
<14> lilbit, don't paste in the channel please use paste.ubuntu-nl.org this channel is too busy
<0> Frankly I use Arch for desktop lol
<9> eyeque: Hmm. Any suggestions? If I only wanted to carry the ubuntu kernel releases for the next year or two?
<5> Kyral_FreeBSD, any knowledge of how well Gentoo runs as a server?
<15> How much better is Cedega than Wine?
<14> !offtopic
<9> eyequeue: And what about /home and /? meh.
<16> Non Ubuntu support related discussions may be carried out in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic. Editor/Language wars are welcome there!
<0> issy: I haven't run Gentoo in a couple years
<13> MoxJe1, a lot, for games that is. Wine's slowly, verly slowly, catching up
<15> ok thanks. I was thinking game-wise
<11> ompaul, sorry, i didnt think I would get caught if it was just a littke
<17> anyone know how to get battery warning sounds in dapper?
<6> Stormx2, /home depends on your practices, and / here is smaller, because i have a /usr and /usr/local and ./var
<14> lilbit, two lines of enter and bingo
<1> Stormx2: / should be at least 2GB but better to have something like 5 or more.
<1> Stormx2: You'll be using /home to contain all your personal files like movies etc so make it as big as you need.
<18> hey, some dev packages have been broken for a while now (libdbus-1-dev for example), does anybody know when they'll be fixed and/or if there's a workaround to install it?
<19> Hello everyone. I'm new to Ubuntu and haven't used Debian in a while. It seems that my "Hoary Hedgehog" install doesn't have some header files (stdarg.h, for example), and i can't seem to find a gcc-devel package. What package(s) should I be looking for to install these extra headers?
<15> what alternatives does Mac OSX users have to run windows applications (such as games)
<1> Stormx2: programs go to / so again, make space according to your tastes and what's available.
<20> i'm chrooted into the harddrive of the computer I am running the livecd on. I've got internet working on the livecd but I cant get it started on the harddrive. any suggestions?
<21> MoxJe1, you could put a windows box next to it
<22> MoxJe1: BootCamp maybe?
<18> dhendrix: have you installed build-essential?
<23> dhendrix: maybe build-essential
<24> reboot
<12> MoxJe1: it's a perfect questtion to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
<3> jonah: have you looked in System > Preferences > Sounds ?
<25> what are the general guidelines for using KDE applications in Ubuntu? Will they work? or has ubuntu done some voodo magic?
<26> or in #macosx
<17> ajax4: yeah but there doesn't seem to be much you can set sounds for
<19> tr1gg3r, yoshiznit123: Thanks for responding so quickly! Yes, i do have build-essential installed. What else can I try searching for?
<1> dhendrix: why are you installing hoary?
<3> nooby_god: install them and they work. No extra stuff required.
<12> nooby_god: they will work. You'll download some KDE libraries, for the first few, but they'll work fine, no issues.
<15> :P sorry for asking here
<14> MoxJe1, your way ooooooff topic for here, that was not a ubuntu support question at all
<3> jonah: Battery warning might be covered on one of those. Hang on, let me check something.
<22> dhendrix: try installing the *-dev packages
<15> bah i'm always making a scene
<12> MoxJe1: just ask all the random questions in -offtopic ;)
<17> thanks ajax4
<27> bbl later guys ok about in 2hrs
<28> gnomefreak - Does cdrecord phone home? cdrecord-ProDVD seems to. http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/utils/schilling/cdrecord/ProDVD/README.key
<19> samuli: Some coworkers were having problems with Dapper, so I decided to try and be safe on my workstation.
<19> Melissa|X: Thanks, I'll see what I can find in there.
<22> good luck <3
<1> dhendrix: problem is that hoary isn't supported any more and is getting really old anyways.. breezy would be a better choice.
<19> Is there a command like Gentoo's qpkg that I can use on someone elses' machine to figure out which package a certain file belongs to?
<29> is qtparted used in the ubuntu installer? because i have some problem with qtparted when i want to install kubuntu
<18> dhendrix: dpkg -S file
<30> IIIEars: what did that have to do with me?
<23> dhendrix: man dpkg
<19> samuli: This one isn't under my control :(
<31> xubuntu question : when installing DAPPER UBUNTU and using the restricted media page as well as the ubuntu guide i am able to get a fully functional box that plays all media quite well. When i install DAPPER XUBUNTU (from the xubuntu iso) and following the same pages and using apt to install all IDENTICAL packages.. i get a box that will not play mp3s or anything.. xmms simply cycles through the list on turb
<31> o without playing audo... HELP?
<14> samuli, it is supported until Octover
<12> samuli, dhendrix: hoary is still supported.
<32> I've already got one ext3 partition. / that is. I've got 15 GB unused (no partition). How do I merge them into / ?
<19> yoshiznit123: Thanks again! I'll try that out right now.
<1> ompaul, o-kay. well it's very old still.
<3> jonah: Read the description in Synaptic for a program called kpowersave
<31> audo = audio.. any ideas?
<9> How big should the ubuntu swap partition be?
<28> gnomefreak - (embar***ed) erm, (sheepish grin) thought you might know..
<33> howdy all. 2 questions: are there any easy to install ubuntu-on-a-stick distros? and are there any good HD recovery tools for linux that can bring an ntfs volume back to life?
<30> IIIEars: sorry i didnt see a question in there
<34> Stormx2: it depends on how much RAM you have. I've been told that you should make it twice the size of the RAM you have
<14> thewayofzen, check the message from ubotu
<23> tonedahl: dont think u can, create a new part for ur free space and mount it somewhere
<35> stormx2, usually 50% more than the amount of ram you have
<34> Stormx2: So this laptop i'm using has 512 mb, I put the swap at 1 gb
<0> Stormx2: Swap is a fuzzy thing. General rule is if RAM < 512 MB than Swap = 2xRAM
<33> cause i have a laptop HD that wont boot, and i want to try and run some diags on it
<32> but I want 'em merged :(
<2> I heard it was 2*RAM
<0> Stormx2: if RAM <= 1GB then Swap = RAM
<1> Stormx2: one rule is twice the size of your ram.. but if you have plenty like gig or two you could be better off with smaller swap.
<23> Stormx2: at least 2x ram if u want suspend to disk to work
<31> ompaul: if u read my statement you would know ive followed all those steps on ubuntu iso install and xubuntu iso install both and have only had success on vanilla ubuntu
<18> does anyone know how to get around dev packages that have been broken for a while now (libdbus-1-dev for example), and/or when they'll be fixed?
<0> if RAM > 1.5 GB then Swap = .5xRAM
<17> ajax4: sorry my battery went when i went in other room and my system shut down! haha ironic huh?
<0> as a general rule
<35> heh, I have 1gb of ram, and I can't even get the thing to utilize any swap space
<36> .
<28> Does cdrecord phone home? It is non-free. The read me mentions an "expiring license". just wondered
<14> zanzaban, a lot of live CDs can be used to rescue "unreadable" data from windows boxes
<37> when new versions of ubuntu come out, is it possible to just dist-upgrade to them?
<0> cdrecord is nonfree?
<0> !dapper
<16> dapper is probably Ubuntu 6.06, the "Dapper Drake" release. Released June 1st 2006
<12> larry: yep
<38> it's free
<39> NoUse: my sound has stopped working. anything to do with what we did fixing my ati?
<33> ompaul: awesome. i'm not sure if it's bad platters, or if the read arms arent swinging
<6> larry, a couple commands also, but yes
<14> zanzaban, as for on a stick that is more to do with (A) a large stick (B) a bios that supports it
<14> zanzaban, or just windows rot
<33> i have a 1gb jdlightning
<0> zanzaban: Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux are prolly better rfor that
<3> jonah: Hehe, I see a bunch of apps in Synaptic that monitor and display your battery life. kpowersave, xbatt, xbatbar, powersaved, and others.
<37> I just installed ubuntu for the first time last night. I have to say it's very impressive.
<39> my sound stopped working afteri rebooted. can anyone help me?
<9> So i need 4 partitions on this? How do I do it? o.O
<33> not windows rot, it' wont boot at all. maybe a super destroyed fat table :D
<3> ajax4: I don't have any experience with any of those but one of them is bound to be what you are looking for.
<40> ?
<34> Man, gnome is so much more elegant than KDE
<0> stevekl: don't start it :P
<3> jonah: that previous message was directed to you.
<9> Oh dear god, I think I just screwed up my partition table
<34> You get to a stage in your life where customization isn't so important and ease of use is
<15> steveki: indeed
<27> Nevermind I'll stay
<27> :P
<27> i was going to sneek on windows
<0> stevekl: We have dodged 3 FlameWars in the past 30 mins :P
