Comments:
<0> there's something to be said for an OS designed to a limited spectrum of hardware
<0> (re. mac)
<1> Youssef***ad: Apple isnt in the OS business fyi
<1> hence bootcamp
<2> hybrid: I know it will be an excellent environment to work in but I am used to pc prices :D
<3> That last comment was at dieffel
<4> lkj1: ok
<5> !sources
<6> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
<1> LinuxJones: you get what you pay for in a mac ;D
<0> hybrid: I'm not looking at it from the Jobs POV. I'm making the simple observation that limiting the hardware range is something with its own set of advantages, even to the user
<3> @ LinuxJones: I don't know what the name was, but it wasn't main actor.. The UI was purple though.
<3> purple/grey
<1> Youssef***ad: Apple does need to open the OS they opened the hardware
<0> boy, half a day in ubuntu and this is really lovely.
<2> hybrid: jahshaka ?
<0> hybrid: running on x86 isn't my definition of opening hardware
<1> Youssef***ad: this is where linux fails misserably, PPC Linux should be awesome because it is all standardized
<3> http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3
<3> Cinelerra was the name.
<1> Youssef***ad: Macs can legally run ANY OS
<1> can your PC?
<0> hybrid: yes, that is an interesting observation. PPC ought to be miles better
<2> hybrid: that's it, it has the worse interface for a computer program of all time :(
<5> when is Dapper getting released?
<1> LinuxJones: MainActor looks ALOT like Final Cut
<2> kapputu: 2 1/2 weeks or so
<5> I saw the installation screenshots
<5> it was quite cool
<7> what is the eol char for sed ?
<8> i just added a new domain to my nameserver... to reload the dns entries without restarting bind9, is it - rndc regen ? (i forget what the syntax is for this)
<3> Why isn't my fluxbox menu working? It only displays xterm and exit. The admin @ #fluxbox said that this is an ubuntu specific issue. Can anyone tell me how to get this fixed?
<0> hybrid: friend, I'm trying to look at it from the perspective of my fiancee, not us savvy folk :) She just needs something which works. Limiting the hardware platform helps make it work better
<5> It'll help me move more people to linux
<2> hybrid: they have a demo if you wanna try it, but it's fairly basic.
<1> Youssef***ad: yes OSX will never have driver issues like Windows does :D
<0> lkj1: go look in .fluxbox/menu, maybe you want to rebuild that
<5> would it be risky to upgrade to Dapper from Breezy?
<0> hybrid: precisely
<1> LinuxJones: ##videoeditting if ya dont mind
<0> hybrid: and linux even. Atheros and sis VGA here, not fun
<9> Hello, I have 2 harddrives and am trying to get tehm both working under the same ubuntu system and when I try to get the other one working it doesnt give me read/write permission, how do I get it to do so?
<10> byron: what file system?
<7> Q; trying to remove line breaks that occure after : sed /?/,/^ /d what should ? be ???
<0> all these mounting perms questions make me pine for the days when vim /etc/fstab was the way to go
<11> NickGarvey, Nah
<12> How to revert gnome-panel to default applets/locations?
<9> well I first tried extention 2 or 3 forget but then I tried fat
<13> odd, i seem to be missing some of the sources listed here...... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto help?
<14> kapputu: no.
<15> Hi fellow ubunters, is there anyone that knows how to sort out jerky DVD playback?
<10> Old: going to allow them to log in over ssh and such?
<1> Youssef***ad: yumm vim and fstab
<9> any ideas?
<11> yeah NickGarvey
<5> no NTFS write support from linux is very painful
<9> OLD?
<9> ssh?
<10> Old: hmm.. will the command you are looking for is chroot
<16> Hi everyone
<17> pez, you should enable dma for your dvd drive
<17> !dma
<10> Old: maybe you could put it in there .bashrc file and not allow them to have write access to it
<13> how do you reset the "software repositories" menu?
<10> Old: but they wouldn't be able to do.. anything.. at all..
<17> sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/dvd
<13> please?
<10> Old: I think that would break a lot of stuff..
<11> me too
<11> :<
<17> pez, also .. you make the change permanent by editing /etc/hdparm.conf
<15> Krontab, does it have cause any risks enabling as the wiki says it has potential problems
<11> nevermind, ill do ftp access mate
<16> Does anyone know if it is possible to have my Rogers Cable internet successfully running on ubuntu and have my wireless network setup up for my two laptops? i want the wireless network on ubuntu as well
<17> not for your dvd drive
<10> Old: :) know how to set up a chroot jail with ftp?
<17> yer all good...
<11> but really appriciated you're help, It's good to know that people are willing to help in this cahnnel. I always come here when i need help, and i ALWYAS get answers :)
<11> i know how to setup a account for having access toa spec dir
<11> so thats np :)
<11> wrote it down D:
<13> how do you reset the "software repositories" menu? please?
<17> there are some risks when changing values on your hard drive as hdparm can adjust many aspects of the drives functionality... but in most cases yer good
<10> Old: good luck :)
<16> anyone?
<15> also, why do different multimedia players display DVD playback differently. For example, MPlayer is very pixely
<17> pez, using dma is a good thing for cdrom/dvd drives... and it takes the load off of the cpu
<1> needlez: what wifi cards are you suing?
<18> will i have a good reasons to switch to dapper ?
<16> the wifi cards in the laptop?
<16> *laptops?
<1> yes
<11> NickGarvey
<16> i have no idea, whichever ones came with the computers, infact im pretty sure they are those built-in auto-config ones
<2> Thug-N-Me: Dapper is quite a bit snappier on the desktop.
<11> you good at mysql btw? :)
<19> Thug-N-Me: dapper is a lot quicker
<12> Thug-N-Me: Network manager WPA support!
<12> Thug-N-Me: (And it's fast and pretty)
<18> Flannel is it ? i heard people saying its slower
<1> needlez: then with a wifi router and the network cards you should be good to go
<15> thanks krontab :-) I'll sort out the DMA through the advice from the Wiki documentation
<19> Thug-N-Me: Breezy was the "feature" release, Dapper is the bugfix release. of the pair.
<18> tonyyarusso i heard people saying its slower
<18> Flannel ohh i see
<17> I haven't noticed the difference... but each use different filters, and scaling algorithms... etc. prolly has something to do with it...
<17> np
<10> Old: haha nope, I know a little bit
<12> Thug-N-Me: I heard one say that, faster for me.
<16> hybrid: sweet. ok, now, the REALLY newb question, lol, how (once i install ubuntu) do i configure it to get my internet going again?
<10> Old: its just not a skill I need right now so I haven't learn much of it
<13> how do you reset the "software repositories" menu? please?
<11> kk :)
<1> needlez: more than likely it will be ready to go out of the box
<18> tonyyarusso hope it will be for me too :)
<16> hybrid: sweet, thanks :) btw, im not sure if this matters or now, but im TOTALLY replacing windows with linux, i have another seperate pc for windows (my gaming machine).
<5> why would I want the klogd and sysklogd daemons running?
<20> is there a hotkey for locking the system?
<1> needlez: nice, have fun :)
<21> CaptainMorgan: you can set one in system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
<17> kapputu, they log events and errors from the kernel and operating system...
<5> aah
<5> ok
<17> kapputu, they're a good thing
<20> awesome, thanks _jason
<5> obviously I guess
<16> hybrid: OH! would you know why Mandriva wont work on my pc. i got the 3 CD's and everything, but when i put them in my drive and click the "install" button nothing happens, and when i reboot with the disk in my drive it totally doesnt read it, even though my boot sequence is in the right order (and yes i burnt the ISO's properly)
<5> I thought the server daemons were running by default
<5> apache/ftp/dhcp
<5> they don't?
<1> needlez: cause mandravia is horrid :p no idea really
<22> whats the command to change the root p***word (or set it)??
<23> i have a route entered in my routing table that shouldn't be there. However, when i try to delete it (route del ip.addr.of.dest) it tells me it doesn't exist. Is there something special i need to do to remove it that i'm missing?
<12> Could someone give me the path to the default mail icon in gnome-panel?
<13> how do you reset the "software repositories" menu? please?
<17> ubotu, tell megaman123 about root
<17> !root
<6> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
<16> hybrid: lolol. are there any other themes for ubuntu? or do i have to stick with brown everything? i want some nice looking ones if possible, some that resemble Mac's OSX perhaps?
<1> needlez: you can theme gnome and kde etc
<24> needlez, check gnome-look.org
<25> how can i find out what video card my computer has from the ubuntu livecd?
<17> jhenn, lspci
<18> Flannel tonyyarusso in gnome its a lot faster right ?
<17> from command line
<12> Thug-N-Me: Yeah.
<16> and i'm ***uming all of these will work with ubuntu? (it runs off the GNOME system right? and Kubuntu is the KDE version?
<12> Thug-N-Me: b/c of the 2.14 improvements.
<19> needlez: yes
<2> Thug-N-Me: it's quit snappy
<18> LinuxJones ok
