<wolfeySI> Riddell: it didnt ask last time
<flamesrock> hey, why is it that dos takes ages to format, but linux takes like two seconds?
<wolfeySI> flamesrock: probably linux format doesnt physically erase every sector by default?
<wolfeySI> :)
<bauer77> one is microsoft one is god...hehe
<sijmen> DOS appearently clears the entire disk, whereas with mkfs only a new filesystem index is generated
<flamesrock> thanks wolfey
<flamesrock> ahhh I see
<loiic> Hi there
<sijmen> logging in/out, brb
<sijmen> I logged in and out, but while the filesystems are mounted they still do not appear on the desktop
<sijmen> Do I need to have them by UUID in my fstab? or is /dev/hdaX fine?
<loiic> i am new to ubuntu, coming with a debian background, i got a brand new ubuntu-server with 6.10 installed, and i heard that the init mechanism in this version has been replaced by upstart, i guess it does make a lot of change underneath, but i still can see scripts in /etc/init.d and the rc.d folders, do have i to do thing any differently than what i am used to?
<Zaggynl> !update
<ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
<mackinac> sijmen: try to disable then re-enable the icons at "gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop" .. see if that updates it
<bimberi> loiic: no, upstart supports those scripts. Things may change down the track though - in future Ubuntu releases
<loiic> bimberi: but at the moment using those scripts is still the only solution, or there is a proper way to get things done the ubuntu way
<Mena> Is there a nice program to enable me edit video files and cutt it and this stuff
<bimberi> loiic: they're still the ubuntu way :)
<loiic> bimberi: eheh ok, which is?
<yettenet> Ah... Cron works... again
<yettenet> Finally :D
<UbuntuN00B_HBG> Hi all! I think Ive screwed up my system when trying to install according to the unofficial ATI-driver-wiki....
<sijmen> mackinac: did that. Now I also know how to enable the trash icon, but my two volumes are still not mounted
<sijmen> *visible
<UbuntuN00B_HBG> theres a problem with the linux-restricted-modules and now I cant even apt-get remove it!
<NoEvidenZ> UbuntuN00B_HBG: What seems to be the problem?
<NoEvidenZ> Ah.
<sijmen> it's about these two partitions: /dev/hda7 on /media/data type vfat (rw,utf8,umask=007,gid=46)
<sijmen> /dev/hda6 on /media/rsync type ext3 (rw)
<bimberi> loiic: update-rc.d, invoke-rc.d, basing new scripts on /etc/init.d/skeleton (if I've understood your question)
<UbuntuN00B_HBG> I like the "Ah" statement... sound reassuring! ;)
<techie1> good morning all
<UbuntuN00B_HBG> 'morning!
<litage_> thanks jrib
<NoEvidenZ> UbuntuN00B_HBG: I know about as much on the topic as you do. I'm actually here for help myself.
<loiic> ah ok bimberi, but that's still the same as things are done in debian, i thought upstart might have introduced some new commands etc
<UbuntuN00B_HBG> NoEvidenZ: too bad! ;)
<NoEvidenZ> UbuntuN00B_HBG: Sorry. :P
<idefix_> if you have a CDrom and a DVDrom and the DVDrom seems dead but the CDrom works the controller on your motherboard can't be broken right? especially since the working rom is the slave and the other master?
<UbuntuN00B_HBG> techie1: can you rupposrt me with my problematic linux-restricted-modules?
<vignesh> hey...
<NoEvidenZ> !chat > NoEvidenZ
<techie1> Can anybody comment. I am recently very "extremely happy" to have discovered Ubuntu and all the other related linux programs available. Having been a windows user for a few years, I have arrived to the conclusion, or maybe is a matter of principle, that I totally want to switch gears and get my next machine already installed with linux rather than windows. Any suggestions as to the type of "best" computer out there for
<vignesh> Do i need a graphics card to use XGL ?
<techie1> Also which is prefer by you all in here: Ubuntu, Slax, DSL, Suse, etc... and why?
<vignesh> I just got an Intel 945 motherboard.. so is this onboard intel graphics enough to use XGL ?
<IdleOne> techie1, get a computer you can afford with no OS ( check hardware compatibility ) and then install ubuntu on it yourself
<Frogzoo> !hardware | techie1 make sure all your hardware has linux drivers
