| <johanbr> Woot! Finally I have working suspend on my laptop. | |
| <johanbr> I think that means every single feature it has is supported, except possibly the modem, which I don't care about. And this laptop is pretty quirky: weirdass ACPI, AMD64, newish ATI card. | |

| <Madpilot> hi Burgundavia | |
| <Burgundavia> hey Madpilot | |
| <Madpilot> talked to Canonical about hosting yet? | |
| <Madpilot> Burgundavia, <cough> ^^^ | |
| <Burgundavia> Madpilot: no, the thing I need to do is get to my desktop, which I haven't yet managed to do | |
| <Madpilot> over at A's still? | |
| <Burgundavia> as I need my gpg key to decrypt the password | |
| <Burgundavia> yes, and my arabic class was tonight | |
| <Burgundavia> tomorrow night looks bad too, due to valentines | |
| <Madpilot> how's the Arabic class going? | |
| <Burgundavia> well | |
| <Madpilot> Burgundavia, is it just spoken, or is there some written Arabic as well? | |
| <Burgundavia> mostly written | |
| <Madpilot> cool | |
| <Burgundavia> anyway, need to crash | |
| <Madpilot> likewise. g'night | |
| <Alan-D> Can anybody offer more insight as to what effect the Windows/Novel licience agreement with have on any or all other linux version, Ubuntu or other? Do you know if the kermal or parts of the kernal are in this agreement? | |
| <lophyte> nothing that wasn't a threat before the deal | |
| <lophyte> the Linux kernel contains Microsoft patented technology.. the deal between Microsoft and Novell gives Novell the legal right to use said patented technology | |
| <lophyte> if they wanted to, Microsoft could file lawsuits based on the fact that their patented technologies are in the Linux kernel | |
| <lophyte> but the deal didn't change that.. they could've done that before | |
| <Alan-D> What about the liciencing agreement. Is this just patent agree or for future liciencing fees? You nover know. | |
| <lophyte> the news of the deal isn't that recent anymore.. I'm sure there's tons of opinion pieces and review articles of it on the net | |
| <Alan-D> I read some of them, but nothing very clear. | |
| <marmer> ciao | |
| <marmer> hy | |
| <marmer> what dao mean in option writing in gnome baker please? | |
| <Burgwork> marmer: it is a type of disk burning | |
| <Burgwork> means disk at once | |
| <Burgwork> basically a faster but slightly less safe optioin | |
| <Burgwork> if anything bumps your computer, you have a coaster | |
| <marmer> ok | |
| <davdiwewe> nice os! | |
| <davdiwewe> :)ubuntu is the best! | |
| <lophyte> anyone know how to configure automounting? | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> yes and no | |
| <lophyte> USB drives automatically get mounted to /media/usbdisk | |
| <lophyte> but I'd like to specify different locations based on which USB drive I'm using | |
| <lophyte> ie. by UUID | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> have you thought of just turning it off? and manually mounting the drive | |
| <lophyte> how do you turn it off? | |
| * lophyte wonders if its a KDE thing and not a system thing | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> I think it is just a service | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> I remember back to RedHat 9 it was not automatically mount anything | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> can you display your /etc/fstab when a usb key in insterted | |
| <lophyte> fstab doesn't change | |
| <lophyte> mtab does... | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> mtab? | |
| <lophyte> mtab == mounted filesystems | |
| <mylesbraithwaite> oh i see the problem | |
| <lophyte> oh, its a HAL thing | |
| <lophyte> meh.. | |
| <johanbr> lophyte: The quick and dirty way would be to just make a link from the place you want to /media/name_of_disk . To do it "properly" you probably have to mess with udev rules. | |
| <Burgwork> welcome cburg | |
| <cburg> Thank you. | |
| <cburg> Welcome mikebro! | |
| <mikebro> hello | |

| <dimeotane> according the probability of going bankrupt from lawsuits? | |

| <marmer> where can i get gnomebaker 0.6.1 please | |
| <rexbron> marmer: apt-get? | |
| <rexbron> what version | |
| <rexbron> of ubuntu | |
| <marmer> 6.10 | |
| <marmer> rexbron: doesn't work | |
| <Burgwork> likely it isn't available | |
| <marmer> it says that is installed the newest version | |
| <Burgwork> yes, the newest packaged version | |
| <rexbron> marmer: looks like you will need to compile it | |
| <Burgwork> file a bug against gnomebaker, asking to package and backport the latest version | |
| <rexbron> as even feisty does not have that version | |
| <marmer> rexbron: i cant find it | |
| <rexbron> marmer: the source? | |
| <marmer> rexbron: ? i speak little english :( | |
| <rexbron> marmer: gnomebaker 0.6.1 has not been released yet | |
| <marmer> no | |
| <rexbron> marmer: do you speak french? | |
| <marmer> hmm | |
| <marmer> not | |
| <marmer> nevermind | |
| <rexbron> marmer: http://gnomebaker.sourceforge.net | |
| <rexbron> the lastest release is 0.6 | |
| <marmer> sure? | |
| <rexbron> the latest stable | |
| <rexbron> ok, you can get the 6.1 source from source forge | |
| <marmer> ok | |
| <rexbron> but you will need to complie it yourself | |
| <rexbron> marmer: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=127397 | |
| <rexbron> marmer: you also could ask for a sync/merge with debian | |
| <rexbron> marmer: actually, debian is at the same version as ubuntu, so you will need to comple from source | |
| <marmer> ok |
