Comments:

<0> why does ubotu tell me its cats name when i check on alternatives :(
<1> [t0rc], did you remove all fstab entries relating to windows drives and umount all windows drives prior to running winmac_fstab?
<2> but, i have p*** the parameters each time start the computer
<3> screw this I am getting rusty
<3> and blind.
<2> why?
<4> burning_bronx, :)
<5> Should I repeat myself or ***ume I won't get an answer?
<6> gnomefreak: ubuntu responds to questions it doesn't know with gibberish - it's meant to be funny
<7> Denyerec: ususally the 2nd
<8> mustard5: no; should I have? never done that before...
<3> Denyerec, repeat?
<5> Would Ubuntu come recommended for running a small local company dev server (3-7 users) ?
<1> [t0rc], definitely...it won't work to well otherwise
<2> How or where i write the parameters?
<0> Denyerec: yes it is fine as server



<7> Denyerec: personally i'd use debian sarge for a server
<4> Denyerec, I for one have missed your question the first time around.
<1> [t0rc], I've seen the same problem many times
<9> Denyerec: yes, there are even server-specific installation options.
<7> Denyerec: ubuntu is more desktop centric IMHO
<5> yeah I'm tossing up between Debian and the Ubuntu flavour of it.
<4> Denyerec, the answer depends on what you want to serve.
<8> mustard5: well then....that would explain...oh, roughly about....150% of everything. lol. thanks again mate.
<1> [t0rc], its always those things that foul up the script
<6> Denyerec: I'd say ideal - my 2c
<0> i recommend bsd for server but hell thats what its made for :(
<3> Denyerec, well Debian is a bit more stable
<5> just basic PHP/web/ruby/Mono development
<9> ubuntu is as worthy a server as debian is...
<10> can someone recommend a simple program to transcode a video clip to make it smaller?
<4> ***copter8000m, transcode
<11> tritium - thanks for the tip. can see it will be very handy.
<3> if it's for a small company and server only I'd go with Debian
<12> whats the biggest difference between debian an d ubuntu?
<13> hello evryone
<14> I've got a problem... I can sudo with a p***word and it works. But I can't `su` with that same p***word?
<4> ***copter8000m, oh, sorry, I missed the 'simple'...
<12> isnt ubuntu debian?
<9> syyd: sure! You can also perform similar functions within synaptic.
<3> user_, Ubuntu strives to be more suitable for desktop users
<14> Might I add though, my user p***word is the same as my root p***word.
<6> user_: ubuntu is not debian, no
<3> thought Dapper is a great enterprise edition and it even has kernels for Server Equipment
<2> how to add to start the parameter iwconfig ra0 mode Ad-hoc?
<14> Actually, I don't even remember setting up a root account
<7> well, while ubuntu seems to be strong on the desktop i have to say it is by far not as stable as a stable debian with all thos alpha and beta patches applied!
<9> user_: no, a derivative of it
<11> kool
<12> ah i see
<3> user_, Ubuntu is NOT Debian in any way
<1> [t0rc], looking at the wiki page I think they have a new script too https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
<3> it's a derrivative - close but not the same
<10> soundray, is it complicated to use?
<3> it's pretty different in philosophy and as a distro
<14> Ubuntu is Debian-based, no?
<3> yes
<6> Denyerec: the stability of the _stock_ packages is first rate - for an office setup, you'd want the new open office too
<13> im new to ubuntu and i need help
<3> !debian
<15> Debian is "the rock upon which Ubuntu is founded"; see http://www.debian.org Thank You Ian and DEBra Murdock! 1994 Vers. 0.9. Debian and Ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship/
<16> kuja: yes!
<13> can someone help me
<9> zRAM: no need to ask for help. Just ask your question.
<14> So, it *is not* Debian, but it's Debian based. Simple enough, I wonder what the problem is :)
<4> ***copter8000m, it's the swiss army knife of video transcoding. You will have to spend some time with its manpage.
<16> kuja: ubuntu builds upon debian and its tools, actually
<12> we are all here to help even the noobs
<2> how to add to start the parameter iwconfig ra0 mode Ad-hoc?, please someone response
<14> I actually chose Ubuntu because of the fact that it is Debian-based.
<17> ***copter8000m, http://textsnippets.com/posts/show/287
<3> sigh
<10> soundray, just found gtranscode (a frontend), which might make it easier
<3> Debian based distros pwn
<13> how can i instal plugins for my totem player it doest play any .wav files
<6> debian is maintained by dedicated hobbyists, ubuntu by paid pros
<4> ***copter8000m, sounds great. I hadn't heard of it.



<14> Anyhow, does the Ubuntu setup not setup a root account?
<14> I can sudo, but I can't su to root
<3> zRAM, that depends on which backend you're running
<6> !tell kuja about sudo
<0> ubotu tell kuja about root
<10> deFrysk, thanks, but i'm not ripping a dvd
<3> xine or gstreamer?
<18> kuja: that's the idea
<1> zRAM, I have a good link for you :)
<12> yeah i just tried Mepis and it wasnt bad it was pretty good
<16> Frogzoo_: does that make a difference ?
<13> im using ubuntu 5.10
<19> where i must the theme in kde ?
<20> kuja: sodu -s gives you a root prompt
<14> Ah
<6> kuja su's not necessary
<3> user_, Mepis is more "user-friendly" in a way
<21> hi all
<3> but I still prefer Ubuntu
<1> zRAM, http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch03.html#sect-music-and-movies
<9> kuja: just read that RootSudo wiki page, and you'll gain some perspective
<21> I installed libapache2-svn but I dont see the module in /etc/apache2/mods-available - any idea why?
<3> fastest growing community ever, and you always get help
<6> Spliffster: in practice, there's more debian packages available, and the ubuntu packages are more robust
<14> tritium: All right, thanks all.
<12> yeah in Mepis things run more staight out of installation
<13> thanks to all
<14> I'm just familiar with the Debian installer more :)
<0> burning_bronx: not to mention ubuntu is the only distro i know of that releases every 6 months :)
<13> ill try this one
<12> but i i agree Ubuntu kicks butt
<16> Frogzoo_: thats a valid point, on the other hand the debian system seems to be more stable ... however .... they expect that the user knows what he does
<3> gnomefreak, still that distro rush ain't all that good
<12> i was a big kde fan but it crashes way too much
<3> remember pmount in the first month of the breezy release
<0> i have used about 15 distros and fell inlove with ubuntu
<9> Frogzoo_: the number of available packages is nearly the same, but technically you're right
<0> burning_bronx: i agree sometimes its not
<22> how can I make eth1 (wireless) connect?
<3> gnomefreak, and currently dapper is acting weird
<19> how i can install a theme in kde?
<3> or at least bits of it
<16> tritium: actually it is the same when one adds the deb sources
<0> burning_bronx: dapper is supposed to act weird
<3> gnomefreak, we already past UVF
<3> it should be more and more stable
<12> I had bad experiencesesssss with fedoracore 4
<23> anybody in here familiar with iptables?
<3> even the new X is out
<0> burning_bronx: wait till after next wek
<9> Spliffster: well, naturally, but we're talking specifically ubuntu repos
<0> you will see some nice changes if im not mistaken
<3> gnomefreak, I think as of now most bugs of dapper are not dapper specific
<3> like the mysql5 socks bug
<14> Ah, that's clear. Thanks for the wiki page, niiice :)
<3> or file-roller's weird crash
<10> oh damn... trying to install something with synaptic and it's asked me to insert the ubuntu cd, but i haven't got it here... is there any way other than downloading the image again?
<3> as I said - just bits being broken
<19> how i can install a theme in kde?
<0> burning_bronx: they are app related but dapper has had depends issues from day 1
<10> just for a sodding package or two
<16> tritium: i see, i am new to ubuntu ... would it be dumb to add deibian sources once i need something i don't get trough ubuntu's ?
<3> gnomefreak, I should know - I've been running dapper since day one,
<3> .
<6> ***copter8000m: synaptic -> repos-> disable cd repo
<0> lol
<3> ;)
<0> iirc next week is "rush week" i think thats what i read :(
<10> Frogzoo_, thanks
<3> but compared to breezy it's a lot more stable
<12> what is the theme packeged in?
<3> ah
<3> rushing ain't good
