| Pelo | Darius08x,you can'T resize a live partiton, if you want to resize your ubuntu part you need to use the live cd, use the 7.04 one or earlier the gutsy one is buggy for that | 00:01 |

| vee | Can anyone asit me with the phpmyadmin i just installed on ubunutu server? | 00:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darius08x: yes.. it is different.. stand alone... nice gui | 00:03 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, gparted live cd is another cd from the gparted ppl, ubuntu live cd is from canonical and is a complete os | 00:03 |

| Pelo | xiven, we need specific questions | 00:05 |
| Darius08x | Yup. | 00:05 |
| vee | xiven whats the problem? | 00:06 |
| xiven | It won't get internet | 00:06 |
| xTheGoat121x | pelo... nope. The only things that would be running are python apps... screenlets, to be exact... and I've already narrowed it down, not then. | 00:06 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | vee: did you install it using apt-get or some other package manager or manually? | 00:06 |
| xiven | It gets an IP, but no internet | 00:06 |
| xiven | Windows works fine.. | 00:06 |

| vee | xiven open up System>Network | 00:07 |
| achtung | btw | 00:07 |
| Darius08x | I'm actually on ubuntu right now (I have NO idea what version put it on my laptop a little while ago) Does it come with any .iso burning stuffs. Or would it probably just be easier for me to but it on a usb drive and burn it from windows? | 00:07 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | vee: i'm assuming you have apache installed on the machine. open a terminal and type cd /var/www. do you see anything called phpmyadmin? | 00:07 |

| achtung | heheheh | 00:07 |
| achtung | i know | 00:07 |
| xTheGoat121x | Pelo, that's the thing. there's nothing listed in top that's eating CPU cycles... it just seems to be unrelated to ANYthing | 00:07 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, yes you can right clic k and burn to cd, but I prefer gnomebaker myself for that , just sudo apt-get install gnomebaker | 00:08 |
| unikon | why in the world is firefox slow in Ubuntu 7.10? | 00:08 |
| Pelo | xTheGoat121x, try with sudo top , might bring up more processes | 00:08 |
| vee | DrUnKnMuNkY no such dir. | 00:08 |
| vee | DrUnKnMuNkY under /etc i see it | 00:09 |
| xiven | I have opened System.NEtwork like 9 times | 00:09 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | vee: what is your root apache directory? | 00:09 |
| Pelo | unikon, might have to do with how many plugins you have | 00:09 |
| rob_p | jacob__: sudo -K whould do it. | 00:09 |
| xiven | But, what do you want me to do? | 00:09 |
| ticky | does anybody konw why ubuntu is shutting down (or hibernating or suspending, i'm not sure which of the three is doing), all of a suden? i thought i was pressing some key combinations but i realized it was doing it by itself too.. | 00:09 |
| xTheGoat121x | Pelo, I don't mean to be difficult, but I've tried that. | 00:09 |

| vee | DrUnKnMuNkY thats it right? | 00:09 |
| ticky | kitche: i don 't think so. the funs are not loud. | 00:10 |
| Pelo | xTheGoat121x, could it be the display that is wrong ? is your system behaving as if is it using 100% cpu & | 00:10 |
| billy | does anybody know why when i try to download the dota map, it doesnt show up when i play with it using wine? | 00:10 |
| Pelo | ? | 00:10 |
| vee | xiven you have to find where the network system window is to see if the settings are correct | 00:10 |
| ticky | is there a log where i can check the signals / messages? | 00:10 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | vee: just /var/www is the root of the webserver folder. type this command while in /var/www: sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin | 00:10 |
| ticky | kitche: fans not funs | 00:10 |
| kitche | ticky: that doesn't mean anything could still be an overheating problem | 00:11 |
| xTheGoat121x | Pelo, now THAT sounds like a very good possibility! In top and sudo top, nothing shows as chewing up 100% CPU, but in gnome-system-monitor, it shows 100% CPU usage w/o any apps eating that much CPU | 00:11 |
| ticky | kitche: how can i check that then? | 00:11 |
| billy | anybody here play wc3 dota on wine? | 00:11 |
| jacob__ | rob_p: that didn't work | 00:12 |
| xiven | Maybe you guys would know about a common problem with Clearwire internet and Ubuntu | 00:12 |
| kitche | ticky: just have to watch your sensors | 00:12 |
| ticky | but i don'tthink it is that. it is not powering down like if there was a black out. it is shutting down like if i have chosen it | 00:12 |
| Pelo | xTheGoat121x, in system-monitor when you turn it on , the sys-mon itself does take quite a bit of cpu to get running , but it tends to go up and down for a while | 00:12 |
| rob_p | jacob__: Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to do. | 00:12 |
| kitche | ticky: yes some systems will powerdown like a shutdown | 00:12 |
| jacob__ | rob_p: i want to graphically log out from superuser powers | 00:12 |
| ticky | kitche: you mean phisically, or in some program in the computer | 00:12 |
| xTheGoat121x | Pelo, alas, it's not just with system mon. | 00:12 |
| achtung | *reading* | 00:12 |
| kitche | ticky: well program lm-sensors | 00:13 |
| rob_p | jacob__: You mean you logged in graphically as root? | 00:13 |
| Pelo | xTheGoat121x, there is a pannel app you can use to monitor your cpu and mem and a bunch of otehr suff that you can basicaly ahve on all the time, that might give you a better idea | 00:13 |

| xTheGoat121x | Pelo, all right. I'll look into it | 00:14 |
| ticky | any other idea? | 00:14 |
| Jupp2 | rob_p, I think he means that when you type in your password (e.g. synaptic) the system will still have you as root for a couple of minutes | 00:14 |
| * Pelo needs some junk to much on , later folks | 00:14 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | vee: that creates a symbolic link in your apache directory to the phpmyadmin directory. try going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin now | 00:14 |
| rob_p | Jupp2: Yeah. That's what I thought initially too. If that's the case, "sudo -K" should have forced an expire of sudo privs. | 00:15 |

| billy | so im just wondering if anybody has them working in here | 00:17 |

| jacob__ | rob_p: do you know how to do that? | 00:17 |
| billy | im banned :( | 00:17 |
| rob_p | jacob__: If you are logged in as the normal user, you don't have super user access without using sudo (or gksu, gksudo, etc.) before whatever you want to run with super user privs. | 00:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | billy: Somehow, I am not surprised | 00:17 |
| eyemean | hi there, if i want to delete a protected folder how do i do in command pls? | 00:17 |
| kitche | billy: in the wc3 folder under ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ or whereverer wc3 is installed to | 00:17 |
| ticky | kitche: i cannot make it run, i have run sensors-detect and i still get "Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are." when i run `sensors` | 00:17 |
| billy | i have the map placed into the maps folder, but it doesnt show up when i play | 00:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eyemean: use sudo for cli or gksudo for gui apps | 00:17 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | vee: i'm not sure. i just installed it using apt-get and it worked fine out of the box. try completely removing it and installing it again. sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin and sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin | 00:18 |
| dngr | 7.10 install, hp dv600 with nvidia card, the machine just hangs on a black screen, probably X, what could one do to get it running? | 00:18 |
| jacob__ | rob_p: i understand that, but how can i log out after i type (gksu, sudo, etc) | 00:18 |
| billy | how do i get unbanned from winehq? | 00:18 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | vee: you may also want to reinstall apache2 in a similar manner | 00:19 |
| jacob__ | rob_p: grant persmission as a normal user after granting superuser powers | 00:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | billy: depends on what you did.. but that is all offtopic for this room | 00:19 |

| vee | DrUnKnMuNkY i am running 7.10 server edition and installed LAMP i the beginning of the install | 00:19 |

| eyemean | jack_sparrow, sorry but im new to linux, can u pls give example if i want to delete , say /opt/hvirtual | 00:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | you would use sduo for root priv then the rm command to remove the item | 00:20 |

| vee | kelsin im installing it now and will let ya know what happend | 00:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eyemean: It is a huge bloated program and can be dangerous to your permissions and is unforgiving if you make a mistake. | 00:31 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, the live cd boot menu should show you stuff like star/install , oem mode and stuff like that | 00:31 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, is this the ubuntu live cd or the gparted cd ? | 00:32 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: gparted. | 00:32 |
| dev_noob | gparted has a live cd? | 00:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eyemean: You might consider thunar as an alternate file manager.. lighter etc | 00:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devyes | 00:32 |
| jsoftw | like bash | 00:32 |
| jsoftw | :p | 00:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devyes | 00:32 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, I've never seen that one, just pick the highest nuber that is not a beta taht would be my guess | 00:32 |
| kelsin | vee: no it installs to the same place regardless of where you are | 00:32 |
| whabo | help, how come after uninstalling wine .. and removing the .wine folder ... its still visible under "all applications"?????? anyone? thx | 00:33 |

| Pelo | dev_noob, gparted as a cd, don't know it if is live but yuo can boot from it , no idea if it is gui | 00:33 |
| Pelo | probabaly is | 00:33 |
| kelsin | vee: I just said when I joined this convo it installs somwhere else and the config for it is in /etc/apache2/conf.d | 00:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eyemean: it works, but I hate to give that command without a word of caution.. hope you understand | 00:33 |
| whabo | help, how come after uninstalling wine .. and removing the .wine folder ... its still visible under "all applications"?????? anyone? thx | 00:33 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: Now it's asking me to select a keymap. o.o | 00:33 |
| kelsin | vee: "dpkg -L phpmyadmin" to see where it placed files | 00:33 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: NEver mind about that. xD | 00:33 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, keymap is yoru keyboard type | 00:33 |
| vee | kelsin k... lemme type it | 00:34 |
| * Pelo will kick Darius08x if he asks about selecting a language | 00:34 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: Thanks I figured it out as soon as I was done typing it. xD | 00:34 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: Do I want english? | 00:34 |
| Darius08x | kidding | 00:34 |
| Darius08x | :p | 00:34 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, I'm not the one using it | 00:34 |
| kelsin | whabo: did you install/uninstall from the ubuntu package? | 00:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | duck and cover | 00:34 |
| whabo | kelsin: yes i did | 00:34 |
| eyemean | jack_sparrow, perfectly understandable, u can never be too cautious with newbes, hahaha | 00:34 |
| whabo | kelsin: i used synaptic | 00:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eyemean: welcome to ubuntu... | 00:35 |
| kelsin | whabo: when you say from "All Applications" where you are talking about? | 00:35 |
| whabo | kelsin: im talking about the application list in my menu | 00:35 |
| Darius08x | Ok, finally got to the GUI now | 00:35 |

| eyemean | jack_sparrow, cheers, cant rember if i said thank you for your help, so Thank you very much. | 00:35 |
| kelsin | whabo: I would try "sudo apt-get purge wine" and make sure you got all wine packages that installed | 00:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eyemean: np.. and thanks | 00:36 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, select the drive first, (I'm assuming the interface is the same as in ubuntu ) | 00:36 |
| eyemean | jack-sparrow, welcome | 00:36 |
| billy | can anybody here help me with warcraft 3 on wine, and playing downloaded maps? | 00:36 |
| vee | kelsin i see usr/share/phpmyadmin/... quite alot | 00:36 |
| kelsin | billy: what about it is not working? | 00:36 |
| kitche | billy: I told you what you need to do | 00:36 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, then find the partiton you need to resize and right click, should be self explanatory, apply after each command is my recommendation | 00:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pelo: it is similar, | 00:36 |
| whabo | kelsin: you mean reinstalling wine???? | 00:36 |
| Darius08x | Ok, I just clicked resize/move, and resized it to half it's original size. Now I've got "An error occurred while applying the operations" | 00:36 |
| vee | kelsin and etc/phpmyadmin | 00:37 |
| Darius08x | :/ | 00:37 |
| kelsin | whabo: no "sudo apt-get purge wine" does not install it, it purges which means removes the packge including any files marked as config files | 00:37 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, any info on what the error is ? | 00:37 |
| kelsin | vee: there you go | 00:37 |
| billy | kelsin: i have the map downloaded, and its in my wine c: drive in the maps folder, but when i try to play the game, the map doesnt show up | 00:37 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, what FS is this partition you want to rezise ? | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darius08x: what is the format of the drive you are trying to resize? | 00:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 00:37 |
| Pelo | ... | 00:37 |
| Darius08x | NTFS | 00:38 |
| gladir | hey guys - im running the livecd - what module do i need to load to get a X1950pro to load X? or do i have to use envy to get it for me | 00:38 |
| vee | kelsin i tired accessing it localhost/phpmyadmin and that didnt work | 00:38 |
| kelsin | billy: is it a map made for a different version of warIII then you're running? and did you try dropping it in the "downloads" folder underneath maps? (I don't know if that mattered) | 00:38 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, xp 's ntfs or vista's ? | 00:38 |
| vee | kelsin thiswas my ori. problem | 00:38 |
| whabo | kelsin: thank you soo much | 00:38 |
| Darius08x | xp | 00:38 |
| gladir | pelo - ntfs is ntfs .. theres no difference between vista and xp | 00:38 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: XP | 00:38 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, makeing it bigger or smaller ? | 00:38 |
| kitche | gladir: actually there is | 00:38 |
| kelsin | vee: one sec | 00:38 |
| vee | kelsin k | 00:38 |
| billy | kelsin: its the newest dota map, and i have it on frozen throne | 00:39 |
| kelsin | billy: and warIII is fully patched to the newest version? | 00:39 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: smaller | 00:39 |
| billy | kelsin: yes warIII has the newest patch | 00:39 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, are you tring to make it smaller then the size need for the data on it ? if you get my meaning | 00:40 |
| * Pelo is embarassed about his last sentence | 00:40 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: Trying to dual boot it and ubuntu | 00:40 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: No. :p | 00:40 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, how much data is on the ntfs drive ? | 00:40 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, never mind the last one | 00:40 |
| tanath | i just had a wierd untitled, empty window pop up on my screen. how can i figure out what it s? | 00:41 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: okey | 00:41 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, boot back xp run a scandisk and then run defrag twice at least, then try the gparted cd again | 00:41 |
| tanath | when i focus it, it shows whatever is behind it | 00:41 |
| tanath | er, what was behind it at the time, actually | 00:41 |
| Darius08x | I've already done chkdsk /f and defraged a BUNCH of times. | 00:41 |
| kelsin | vee: did you restart apache? and choose the right apache version when you installed phpmyadmin? | 00:41 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, ok , still in gparted ? | 00:42 |
| Darius08x | I was getting some cluster error thing and that got fixed. But now it won't resize. | 00:42 |
| Darius08x | Yes. I am. | 00:42 |
| kelsin | vee: (restarting apache shouldn't be a problem, but it might have screwed up somehow) | 00:42 |
| vee | kelsin no, and I choose apache 2... as i think thats the version that comes with u.server 7.10 | 00:42 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, refresh the gparted view, I know that in 7.04 it would occasionnaly tell you there was an error but it would still do the job | 00:42 |
| kelsin | vee: you have the myphp conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d correct? | 00:42 |
| vee | kelsin lemme check | 00:43 |
| Darius08x | ... Now my mouse isn't working | 00:43 |
| kelsin | vee: and you don't have any other websites that overight the alias? you can try disabling all sites in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled folder | 00:43 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, reboot the cd | 00:43 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: I am. | 00:43 |
| kelsin | billy: don't know what to tell you :-( works for me just fine, try putting it into the downloads folder inside maps just in case that matters | 00:43 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, the only other thing I can suggest, would be to backup your xp data, whipe the hdd make two partition install xp on one and then install ubu on the other | 00:44 |
| vee | kelsin i see charset in that directory | 00:44 |
| billy | kelsin: when i make the downloads folder, it doesnt even show up | 00:44 |
| vee | kelsin no other sites | 00:44 |
| Darius08x | bleh. So just reformat completly. And before installing either go ahead and resize it? | 00:44 |
| narothepharoh | pelo: how do I run a terminal as root? | 00:44 |
| kelsin | vee: did you just hit enter over apache2 when installing phpmyadmin or did you hit space so the * appeared next to apache2 then selected | 00:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sudo | 00:45 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 00:45 |
| kelsin | vee: if you don't know then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin" to do it again | 00:45 |
| Pelo | narothepharoh, you donT run terminal as root you run commands with sudo | 00:45 |
| kelsin | billy: try making "Downloads" | 00:45 |
| vee | i had it highlighted red, then hit enter | 00:45 |
| billy | kelsin: ok | 00:45 |
| vee | kelsin look above | 00:45 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, that was a last ditch way to do it , if you can't manage to resize | 00:45 |
| kelsin | billy: if that doesn't work go and join a b.net game to make war make the folder then place your map in it | 00:45 |
| Pelo | !root > narothepharoh check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu | 00:46 |
| kelsin | vee: make sure to hit space to make the * appear, run that dpkg-reconfigure command and do it again | 00:46 |
| vee | kelsin ok | 00:46 |
| billy | kelsin: kk i got it to work, thanks a lot | 00:46 |
| fenris | hi | 00:46 |
| kelsin | billy: was it "Downloads"? | 00:46 |
| Pelo | hello fenris | 00:46 |
| billy | kelsin: no it was that i copied the folder with the game, and i put it else where, and i thought the maps were in there, but then it was in the original folder | 00:47 |
| kelsin | billy: ok didn't understand that at all, but glad you got it working | 00:47 |
| tanath | i'm getting empty untitled windows popping up on my screen at random. can anyone help? | 00:48 |
| MikeyMike | ok where might i find info about specifically putting ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386 onto a flash drive so that i can boot it live and fix some partitions? | 00:48 |

| MikeyMike | i was told to go to pendrivelinux but is there something on ubuntu's website? | 00:49 |

| MikeyMike | i'll check out pendrivelinux.com | 00:49 |
| vee | kelsin YOU GOT IT..... i got to eager and didnt bother pressing <space>... ok now how do you get the user and pass for it? | 00:49 |
| kelsin | !installing | MikeyMike | 00:49 |
| ubotu | MikeyMike: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues | 00:49 |
| MikeyMike | thanks kelsin | 00:49 |
| tanath | they looked about the right size/shape for amsn chat windows, so i thought it was that, but it didn't go away when i closed it | 00:50 |
| kelsin | vee: it's whatever user and password you setup for mysql | 00:50 |
| tanath | Pelo, nope | 00:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tanath: do you have effects enabled? | 00:50 |
| fenris | hm, i have a dualcore cpu, shouldn't /proc/cpuinfo report two cpus? | 00:50 |
| Pelo | tanath, any info in them or just blank windows ? | 00:50 |
| Draconicus | I upgraded to Gutsy, and then mpg321 stopped working... | 00:50 |
| tanath | Jack_Sparrow, using CF | 00:50 |
| Draconicus | Any ideas? | 00:50 |
| kelsin | vee: I think ubuntu's default is root/password | 00:50 |
| fenris | at least it did some time ago | 00:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tanath: I got that when I ran a kde app in ubuntu with compiz running | 00:50 |
| tanath | Pelo, no, they show what was on the screen behind the window at the time of appearance | 00:50 |
| Pelo | Draconicus, reinstall from synaptic | 00:50 |
| kelsin | MikeyMike: that first link has a "Without CD" section that I think explains it | 00:50 |
| tanath | Jack_Sparrow, not running any kde apps at the moment | 00:50 |
| Draconicus | Same with mpg123 | 00:50 |
| MikeyMike | kelsin, ok thank you | 00:50 |
| Draconicus | Pelo: Thought as much. >.> | 00:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tanath: if you turn off effects the problem goes away? | 00:51 |
| tanath | Jack_Sparrow, wasn't really doing anything in particular except using epiphany | 00:51 |
| Pelo | tanath, try turning off compiz , run a while without see if the problem still occurs | 00:51 |
| tanath | ugh, i'd rather not. i use the negative plugin to invert the colours... everything is bright & harsh on the eyes without it | 00:52 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: Looks like I'm gonna have to format entirely. | 00:52 |
| tanath | is there some way i can figure out what app these windows are from? | 00:52 |
| vee | kelsin ok.. can i reset it somewhere? | 00:52 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, well partition before hand make one fat32 and one ext3 , makethe fat32 first you can tell windows to instlal and reforma it to ntfs | 00:53 |
| Darius08x | ok | 00:53 |
| kelsin | vee: from inside phpmyadmin you can, or using the mysql command line tools, it wouldn't have changed unless you changed it, if I'm even correct about the default, I don't know if I am | 00:53 |
| tanath | aha! it's something from epiphany. java or something | 00:53 |
| Darius08x | aand there goes my mouse again. | 00:53 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, it's probabaly for the best, if you can't resize it , there is probably some thiny little someting wrong with it | 00:53 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: Thanks, I'll get back to you if i have any other troubles. :p | 00:53 |
| vee | kelsin hhmMm | 00:53 |
| tanath | i clicked a link when the window popped up, and when i went away from the page (reloaded in this case), the window disappeared | 00:54 |
| * Pelo runs away and hides from Darius08x :"I can'T deal with anymore trouble.... ahahahahaha !!""" | 00:54 |

| luciddr34m3r | I've been having a heck of a time with my wireless card, would anybody be able to help me out? | 00:54 |
| kelsin | luciddr34m3r: just ask your questions | 00:55 |
| Darius08x | This is nothing Pelo. xD you should have seen me when I first installed ubuntu and treid to get a LAMP server running. | 00:55 |
| aladdinsane | If i add the backports like this to my sources list: | 00:55 |
| aladdinsane | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-backports main universe multiverse restricted | 00:55 |
| aladdinsane | Dont i need an authentication key? if so where do i find one and how do i add it? | 00:55 |
| Darius08x | My god it was pathetic. Even more so then now | 00:55 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, I was just kidding | 00:55 |
| luciddr34m3r | Well, I have a fresh install of ubuntu on my laptop, and I cant see any wireless networks. My roommate uses the same exact laptop and he doesnt have a problem. I may have used a slightly more recent version... | 00:55 |
| snkmad | theres a dir where all the Menu entries are saved? | 00:56 |
| Darius08x | I know. :p | 00:56 |
| luciddr34m3r | We are using the same drivers, so I assumed it would work for me too. | 00:56 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, I'm usualy very good at holding hands , I'm just disapointed that you will have to reinstall xp, I know how long that takes, and how insanely teidious is it | 00:56 |
| alevine | how do i set up aptitude to use a certain repo for only a couple packages? | 00:56 |
| Zot^ | I don' t have any sounds, system or speaker.......any suggestions? | 00:56 |

| xTheGoat121x | Has anyone here worked with ACPIs? More specifically, with iasl? | 00:57 |
| sn0 | alevine check into "apt pinning" | 00:57 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: This is probably about my 6th time reinstalling it in the past month. | 00:57 |
| alevine | sn0: exactly what i wanted thanks | 00:57 |
| sn0 | np | 00:57 |
| Pelo | Darius08x, why not ditch xp altogether | 00:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darius08x: once you get XP back on... and then ubuntu... make an image of your boot sector with dd .... it comes in handy when I reinstall mine | 00:57 |
| crimsun | aladdinsane: the key is identical to the existing archive one (Ubuntu Archive Signing Key, 437D05B5) | 00:57 |
| luciddr34m3r | Ubuntu auto detected my wireless driver, but I still can't see any networks. Google wasn't able to help either. | 00:57 |
| Pelo | afk | 00:58 |
| Darius08x | Jack_Sparrow: Do what now? | 00:58 |
| * lalyta hi all | 00:58 |
| tilgovi | I've been searching around, but can't seem to find a way to change my default gcc to 4.2 in a way that is "ubuntu" (I could manually change symlinks, but this seems wrong...) | 00:58 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: I use it for games, and also I've always used windows. It's easier for me. | 00:59 |
| computerex | Hi guys. This is my partition table: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e80/computerex/gparted.png does anyone know how I can get some more space to hda5? | 00:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darius08x: after you get xp and ub installed.. make a backup of the drive boot sector to save you time later when XP needs to get reinstalled | 00:59 |
| bruenig | um an "ubuntu" way would be no gcc at all so I wouldn't worry about it | 00:59 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: If I get use to linux enough...maybe. | 00:59 |
| Darius08x | Pelo: Dunno if that'll happen though. :p | 00:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darius08x: I need XP since it helps pay the bills | 00:59 |
| tilgovi | bruenig: That's a lame answer. Ubuntu doesn't say you can't compile things, it just doesn't make you. It does however, give you packages for gcc, it should give me a way to select which to use. | 00:59 |
| Oni-Dracula | anyone know how to disable mousekeys (mouse movement with the numpad) | 01:00 |
| Darius08x | Jack_Sparrow: >.> Dunno how to do that at all.. : D | 01:00 |
| Darius08x | I'll just worry about one thing at once. | 01:00 |
| workdammit | greetings, can anyone walk me through installing ruby 1.8.5 on ubuntu (using aptitude?) i can't seem to find it (1.8.6 is the current ruby version but it has a bug i need to downgrade) | 01:00 |
| xTheGoat121x | I'm guessing not, then | 01:00 |
| Animortis | I'm getting an unusual error installing flash. Can anyone help? | 01:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darius08x: sudo su ... cd Desktop .... dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.backup bs=446 count=1 | 01:01 |
| jvai | anyone on dapper? | 01:01 |
| luciddr34m3r | my wireless card really should be working i think... i just cant see any networks, but i'm sitting a foot away from my AP | 01:01 |
| vee | kelsin err i cant get into it | 01:01 |
| kitche | Animortis: well what is the error then maybe we will help can't help really without knowing the error | 01:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Darius08x: assuming sda is your drive.. | 01:01 |
| bruenig | tilgovi, the concept of an "ubuntu" way is a lame one to begin with, I was merely demonstrating that | 01:01 |
| vee | kelsin i wrote it down but it doesnt work | 01:01 |
| Pelo | luciddr34m3r, you did read the wifi documentation from ubuntu right ? | 01:02 |
| bruenig | tilgovi, do what you want so long as it works | 01:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | luciddr34m3r: did you ever identify your hardware/card? | 01:02 |
| Animortis | When done downloading flash from Synaptic, the console view displays the following message: md5sum mismatch install flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz / The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 01:02 |
| void^ | tilgovi: the "ubuntu way" which is the "debian way" is to use update-alternatives for these things, but it can only be used if the packages are available, of course. | 01:02 |
| circaender | when I start my Ubuntu, it loads three bars and then just stalls? its a dedicated Ubuntu machine. | 01:02 |
| aladdinsane | crimsun: ok so does that mean i dont need to add a new key then, just uncomment the backports line in my sources list? And another question, reading about the backports repo, i understand it can have some security issues using it, how bad/serious is that really? | 01:02 |
| kitche | Animortis: sounds like you need to update the repos by refreshing synaptic | 01:03 |
| Pelo | circaender, canyou boot the recovery mode ? | 01:03 |
| Animortis | kitche: ... Ah, okay. One sec... | 01:03 |
| crimsun | aladdinsane: that's correct. It can be serious, though the community attempts to keep it free of serious security issues. | 01:03 |
| tilgovi | void^: Right...I thought as much. I don't see an update alternatives for the toolchain though | 01:03 |
| ztomic | luciddr34m3r: Which card is it? | 01:03 |
| circaender | pelo- no, and i can't see any but one error in text mode.. | 01:03 |
| luciddr34m3r | I read as much documentation as i could, and no luck. I'm using a broadcom wireless card. Ubuntu decided to use an Atheros driver, but thats even whats listen on HP's site. | 01:04 |
| Darius08x | Jack_Sparrow: Ah, welll, I'll ask you for that again later. I just need to install xp first at least. | 01:04 |
| Pelo | circaender, and what is the error ? | 01:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 01:04 |
| crimsun | tilgovi: well, the gcc-defaults source package generates binary packages that set c{[c{,pp}89],++} | 01:04 |
| ztomic | luciddr34m3r: which model? | 01:04 |
| Animortis | kitche: No dice. | 01:05 |
| crimsun | ick, boog in my regex | 01:05 |
| aladdinsane | crimsun: ok but how serious is it, i mean is it worth using or should one better keep away? | 01:05 |
| Pelo | luciddr34m3r, look up the exact model in here there might be advice https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 01:05 |
| Animortis | Refreshing the repos did not work. | 01:05 |
| circaender | pelo, error_code+0x72/0x80 theres stuff after that..but if they are errors too, then there is a huge list and i cant see all of them. | 01:05 |
| crimsun | aladdinsane: you use it at your own risk. Please consider that. | 01:05 |
| circaender | i have reinstalled 3 times.. | 01:05 |
| kitche | Animortis: then the package is corrupted or something else | 01:05 |
| luciddr34m3r | ok hold on i'll find the model number again... | 01:05 |
| Pelo | circaender, can you boot any of the previous kernels ? if you have any | 01:05 |
| vee | kelsin i cant get in | 01:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | luciddr34m3r: My hp came with a broadcom bcm43xx | 01:06 |
| Animortis | Well, it downloads it every time. Is there a problem with the repos right now? | 01:06 |
| circaender | um, im really new to this..so im not sure what you mean? | 01:06 |

| void^ | tilgovi: well, there's also the generic way of setting CC | 01:06 |
| luciddr34m3r | Thats probably it. I run an NW8000, and that number sounds right. I found instrustions for that though and they didnt help. I'm 99% positive the driver is right though. | 01:07 |
| Pelo | circaender, when you boot the comp, do you get a boot menu ? if not , reboot and type the esc key right after the bios stuff is done, that will get you the grub boot menu, you can boot in recovery mode or previous kernels from there ifyou hve any | 01:07 |

| Jack_Sparrow | luciddr34m3r: IS that the help you used? | 01:07 |
| speedhunt3r | Jack_Sparrow: hey I was arvin_ a while ago, on my friend's pc | 01:08 |
| circaender | yes, i have been there before. i have the main kernal,the recovery one and somethign else after that. | 01:08 |
| circaender | the first two, just go to the load screen.. loads three of the bars and stalls in the same place every time. | 01:08 |
| snkmad | theres a dir where all the Menu entries are saved? | 01:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | speedhunt3r: Ok.. I am already late.. so I must leave.. hope things are working for you | 01:08 |
| Pelo | circaender, ok I'll assume you tried them all, with this kind of error I would boot the live cd, try and backup my /home partiton and then just clean install | 01:09 |
| luciddr34m3r | Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705M_2 Gigabit Ethernet is my card | 01:09 |

| ztomic | ouch! | 01:09 |
| SonicChao | Hi Bored1ed | 01:09 |
| luciddr34m3r | i tried ndiswrapper | 01:10 |
| Bored1ed | Hi Sonic, whats happening? | 01:10 |
| gorath | pelo: yes nothing comes up when i search | 01:10 |
| workdammit | is it possible to downgrade packages in ubuntu? or do the old packages just get phased out over time | 01:10 |
| circaender | The live cd does the same thing, and i checked it for errors? I looked up my motherboard and it said it was compatable and everything.. | 01:10 |
| ztomic | buy an atheros based card... all mine work perfectly. | 01:10 |
| circaender | i think i might be at a loss. | 01:10 |
| * Animortis is still not sure why apt-get can't download the flash player. | 01:10 |
| speedhunt3r | from selecting ubuntu from my grub loader till the log in screen, my monitor turns off while booting up..anyway I can fix this? | 01:10 |
| netsrot | Pelo: now it's working great, I just needed to set the min and max values in the file you talked about which no guide was explaining about but it was comments in the file. | 01:10 |
| jrib | workdammit: yes and yes | 01:10 |
| Pelo | gorath, google for the website , on there look for a deb file , it you dont, find any get the source and come back , we'll tel you how to compile it | 01:11 |
| kitche | Animortis: it's corrupted on the repos or your local hashes are wrong but I'd say the package is corrupted | 01:11 |
| gorath | pelo: ok thanks | 01:11 |
| Pelo | circaender, if you can't even boot the live cd, consider it might be an hardware issue | 01:11 |
| workdammit | jrib: do you know how to specify aptitude to grab a particular package? | 01:11 |
| luciddr34m3r | The driver is good though. My roomate uses the same exact driver. I know at least 4 people with the same model laptop and the card worked out of the box (and i confirmed the driver to be identical to mine) | 01:11 |
| jrib | workdammit: aptitude install PACKAGE=VERSION | 01:11 |
| Pelo | netsrot, I knew it was there but It's been so long I didn't remember much about it | 01:11 |
| Pelo | netsrot, congrats | 01:11 |
| jrib | workdammit: apt-cache policy PACKAGE to list | 01:12 |
| ztomic | luciddr34m3r: If you can identify the chipset as being supported then you may want to try manual setup. If not then ndiswrapper should work if you have the windows driver. the other option is to buy a new card. | 01:12 |
| kitofhawaii | speedhunt3r: you have an onboard video card? also, have a card with both DVI and VGA? | 01:12 |
| netsrot | Pelo: it seems to respect the available stepps as well. | 01:12 |
| Pelo | jrib, stop pressuiing the noobs | 01:12 |
| workdammit | jrib thanks! | 01:12 |
| Animortis | kitche: I've done a sudo apt-get clean' | 01:12 |
| Animortis | kitche: and that didn't change the result. Any other suggestions? | 01:12 |
| kitche | Animortis: well that just cleans the cache of packages | 01:12 |
| Pelo | netsrot, I don'T know how it could do otherwise | 01:12 |
| speedhunt3r | kitofhawaii: yes i do have onboard, but I am using my PCI-ex card.. I think the PCI-ex has both dvi and vga | 01:13 |
| Pulgus | ola todo mundo! | 01:13 |
| kitofhawaii | Animortis: after adding the restricted repo's did you do an update? | 01:13 |

| Animortis | kitofhawaii, I have refreshed my repos. I'll do it again for safety sake... | 01:13 |
| circaender | if i looked up my motherboard and it said it was supported, is there still a chance its that? | 01:13 |
| luciddr34m3r | *sigh* ok i'll play around with it for awhile again. i may be back | 01:13 |
| kitofhawaii | speedhunt3r: have a spare monitor handy to plug in while seeing if it comes up over on one of them? | 01:14 |
| GeddiGuy | Hey, this is the first time I've used IRC! Am I working ok? | 01:14 |
| Pelo | circaender, did ubuntu work well before ? | 01:14 |
| ztomic | Personally, I never had good luck with ndiswrapper. I could connect but it was slow and dropped connection a lot. | 01:14 |
| jrib | GeddiGuy: yes | 01:14 |
| kitofhawaii | Animortis: what's the msg you're getting? | 01:14 |
| kefurd06 | yes guy | 01:14 |
| GeddiGuy | KEWL! Thanks jrib | 01:14 |
| speedhunt3r | kitofhawaii: you mean on my video card that's not being used? | 01:14 |
| circaender | no, this is my first time trying. | 01:14 |
| kitofhawaii | speedhunt3r: yah, on one of the other ports, to see if any are "misbehaving" | 01:15 |
| Pelo | circaender, maybe you should try with the alternate install cd it is less picky about hardware when it installs | 01:15 |
| kitofhawaii | speedhunt3r: also, confirm in bios that the onboard is off and deprived an IRQ | 01:15 |
| speedhunt3r | kitofhawaii: yeah i do have a spare, suppose the display goes on to that monitor, then what do i do? | 01:15 |
| Animortis | kitofhawaii, md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz / The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 01:15 |
| TeslaDave | The program doesn't start fully because when it starts it tries to update and write files i believe, and thus since SU doesn't really exist in ubuntu, it can't update and thus can't start, is their a place where i can install it so that i don't have to worry about sudo or su | 01:15 |
| netsrot | Pelo: great thanks, now it's only my cdrom drive making noices, I hope that cdemu will release a stable version soon but development seems dead. | 01:16 |
| speedhunt3r | kitofhawaii: i don't have a choice to turn it off, i can set one primary so i set my primary to pci-ex | 01:16 |

| circaender | Thats how i got it to install, and it all installed fine and detected all my hardware and everything..and it told me to take the cd out and reboot..so i did, and it just loaded up three bars and stalled. | 01:16 |
| kitofhawaii | speedhunt3r: you should be able to rob it of its IRQ | 01:16 |
| ztomic | btw, is the wireless tool to graphically select a specific AP? | 01:16 |
| mico | hi there [] | 01:16 |
| speedhunt3r | kitofhawaii: i'll look for it, i recently updated bios, brb.... | 01:16 |
| Pelo | netsrot, my dvd drive was making some noise recently as well , I'm not sure it is ubuntu related but I was thinking it might have been , seemesd to have stopped now | 01:16 |
| ztomic | NM, that would be in manual configuration... | 01:17 |
| mico | could anyone point me direction of links to learn how to install an LDAP server and clients in gutsy ? | 01:17 |
| dewdude | ok, so, my laptop hard drive started making funky zipping/whining noises and after about 5 minutes, 100% died..like..the bios doesn't even detect it..so i put my 80gb drive in the thing that had a previous ubuntu install from an HP Omnibook...now i know i should idealy reinstall ubuntu...but..there's some stuff in /home i really don't wanna get rid of...any options for me? | 01:17 |
| === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine |
| Pelo | mico, assuming an ldap client is just a bunch of apps , you just need to know what those apps are and install them from synaptic | 01:18 |
| kefurd06 | dewdude: if the drive isn't even picked up in bios.. u may be SOL | 01:18 |
| whabo | hello guys. i need help creating a shortcut for an application ... under the application list>>>>> i recently installed wine ... but however after uninstallation and removal of .wine folder the application was still existing on my application list> so what i did it i went to menu editor and deleted it.... Today i installed wine again ... but however it does not show under applications anymore .. im talking about the folder that takes u | 01:18 |
| kitofhawaii | Animortis: i'm seeing you're not the only one having the problem...someone posted a workaround in ubuntuforums | 01:18 |
| whabo | to programs etc.... how can i fix that ??? anyone ??? thank you | 01:18 |
| kitofhawaii | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3013930&postcount=3 | 01:19 |
| ztomic | dewdude: usb pendrive. In the future create a separate home partition. | 01:19 |
| kefurd06 | dewdude: i've heard of companies that will take your dead hard drive and get as much data for u from it as they can | 01:19 |
| Animortis | kitofhawaii, A repo difficulty? I'll take a look or wait for it to fix. | 01:19 |
| dewdude | no no | 01:19 |
| dewdude | you totally misheard me. | 01:19 |
| Pelo | dewdude, if hyou have some free hdd space, resize to make a new partiton from that free space and copy your /home folder to it | 01:19 |
| gorath | Pelo: ok i belive i have the source now for xwinwrap how do i compile | 01:19 |
| dewdude | the drive that died..had nothing on it | 01:19 |
| dewdude | i don't care | 01:19 |
| kefurd06 | oh | 01:19 |
| kefurd06 | sry | 01:19 |
| dewdude | it had suffered a problem with data loss before and i was a fool for trying to use it | 01:19 |
| marl | dewdude: one tip u could try to get allow getting some data back from the drive if u need it, is place the drive oin an external drive caddy, and put it in the freezer in a well sealed bag | 01:19 |
| dewdude | but i wasn't sure if that was the issue with the thing. | 01:19 |
| dewdude | nah | 01:20 |
| circaender | is there a way i can find out if its my hard ware? i checked my motherboard and it said it was compatible..im not sure what else it could be..i have a Nvidia g-card | 01:20 |
| dewdude | the dead drive is in the trash already | 01:20 |
| Pelo | gorath, first you need to install the compiling software, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install build-essential | 01:20 |
| kitofhawaii | Animortis: the other thing you can try is "sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree" and then try the aptget again | 01:20 |
| kefurd06 | now what was ur question? | 01:20 |
| ztomic | dewdude: I like Pelo's idea. | 01:20 |
| whabo | How can i create a shortcut for a new subfolder under applications??? its for WINE and the programs in it .. anyone ??? PLZ HELPP .. THANK YOU | 01:20 |
| dewdude | i thought about trying that. | 01:20 |
| kefurd06 | sry whabo, wish i knew | 01:20 |
| marl | leaving it in the external caddy/bad, allows you to actually run and access it while it is still in the freezer! can allow short term access to apparently totaly dead drives! | 01:20 |
| dewdude | i know that | 01:20 |
| gorath | pelo: ok | 01:20 |
| Pelo | circaender, ifyou hve anything nvidia on your comp , use the alternate install cd , not the live cd , youcan get it from the ubuntu.com site, fromteh dl section , just check the box bellow the download button | 01:20 |
| whabo | kefurd06: its ok thx :) | 01:20 |
| Pelo | gorath, done ? | 01:21 |
| gorath | pelo:yep | 01:21 |
| dewdude | the point is...i don't care about the dead drive..i'm jsut wondering should i try to reconfigure the ubuntu install on the "new" drive or reformat after getting the /home stuff backuped somehow | 01:21 |
| Pelo | gorath, ok is the xwin... source package on your desktop ? | 01:21 |
| Animortis | kitofhawaii, Didn't work. I'll look for that workaround. | 01:21 |
| Bored1ed | Anyone have any download recommendations? Im quite bored. | 01:21 |
| dewdude | it's booted up in console since X wouldn't start..and my wifi is working......i jsut didn't know if there was some easy way to do it | 01:21 |
| DIL | stick the drive in the freezer and try it again - | 01:21 |
| kelsin | marl: looks to me like the REDIRCT table doesn't exist, I could be very wrong about that | 01:21 |
| circaender | Thats how i got it to install, and it all installed fine and detected all my hardware and everything..and it told me to take the cd out and reboot..so i did, and it just loaded up three bars and stalled. | 01:21 |
| TeslaDave | I have a question regarding installing a program that needs root su access everytime it starts, is there a place where it can be installed to get around the sudo / su differences ubuntu has? | 01:22 |
| Pelo | gorath, join me in #Pelo please , this place is a bit to noisy for this tutorial | 01:22 |
| kitofhawaii | Animortis: it involves getting it directly from adobe (works good...can confirm that's a viable option, though it won't be managed, so keep an eye on the repo's) | 01:22 |
| ztomic | dewdude: not really important. you can reconfigure X and other things. But then again a new install is pretty quick. | 01:22 |
| kelsin | marl: n/m it's a builtin, shows what I know :) | 01:23 |
| Animortis | kitofhawaii, I'll take a look. Considering the security vulnerabilities involved, I will probably just use Gnash for a few weeks... | 01:23 |
| Pelo | afk brb | 01:23 |
| kitofhawaii | Animortis: also, are you using 64-bit ubunti? | 01:23 |

| ztomic | I dunno what that is. | 01:24 |
| kitofhawaii | Animortis: oh ok yah use whatever works :-D | 01:24 |

| dewdude | i figured maybe someone in here knew a shortcut | 01:25 |
| temujin | where can i get the mkv(h264) codecs for mplayer? | 01:25 |

| dewdude | i don't have wifi on liveCD | 01:26 |
| ztomic | dewdude: then reconfigure X | 01:26 |

| DEAthKA | add 2 lines with repository | 01:33 |
| dewdude | well... | 01:33 |
| kitofhawaii | dewdude: that's definitely a viable way of getting it over..your desktop a windows box? you could just share out a folder | 01:33 |
| DEAthKA | got it? | 01:33 |
| dewdude | floppy is out of the question...a floppy can't hold that much | 01:33 |
| wols_ | Bored1ed: for a harddisk maker 300GB is 300x1000x1000x1000 bytes. for linux it is 300x1024x1024x1024 | 01:33 |

| kitofhawaii | slic1: when you boot up the cd it should give you the option (one of the first screens that comes up) | 01:35 |
| slic1 | ok ill try it, will it take long? | 01:35 |
| DIL | slic1, how long is the hang so far | 01:35 |
| kitofhawaii | slic1: burning os disks, i generally recommend going half or slower the rated speed of your cd burner | 01:35 |
| === Varka_ is now known as Varka |
| kitofhawaii | slic1: depends on your system, 5 minutes to 20 | 01:35 |

| CaptainMorgan | I'm trying to check a log for which users logged in and did what... which log should I look for ? | 01:36 |
| mttr | i think i've lost my permissions.. or i messed up with chown | 01:37 |
| akorn | Anybody know how i can completely remove Crossover Office? i installed it but now i dont want it anymore since Wine seems to work better | 01:37 |
| fsckr | kelsin that worked ty....now to figure out what happened LOL | 01:37 |
| mttr | akorn.. just delete the .crossover folder | 01:37 |
| wols_ | CaptainMorgan: users are not logged what they do | 01:37 |
| CaptainMorgan | wols_, what about logged in/out times ? | 01:37 |
| wols_ | akorn: depends how you installed it | 01:37 |
| kitche | akorn: easy use a package managment software to remove it unless you used their .run file | 01:38 |
| wols_ | CaptainMorgan: auth.log perhaps | 01:38 |
| juano__ | akorn: you have to run /opt/..../cxoffice/cxremove | 01:38 |
| juano__ | akorn: or something like that... with sudo | 01:38 |
| akorn | wols_ i used the .deb file to install it, any idea? i can't find any folders and if i use locate crossover i find nothing, bu tit's there becuase i used it to install a program! | 01:38 |
| heguru | CaptainMorgan: you can use last command for last logged in users | 01:38 |
| kelsin | CaptainMorgan: the last command will help "last" | 01:38 |
| akorn | mttr should tha tbe under /home/username ? because i dont see it there (and yea, i have show hidden files checked) | 01:39 |
| GOdFAThe1 | Do you need to add repositories for VLC in the souces.list to install it without dependency issues? | 01:39 |
| cabb | hola | 01:39 |
| kitche | akorn: if you used .deb synaptic can see it most likely | 01:39 |
| scguy318 | GOdFAThe1: no | 01:39 |

| GOdFAThe1 | Ok scguy318 give me a sec | 01:40 |
| juano__ | akorn: go to applications , crossover, uninstall, after that it will show you a message with a dir, and you should run what it shows you with sudo , then it will be completely removed | 01:41 |
| akorn | kitche you're right, synaptic did find it...thanks a lot :) | 01:41 |
| akorn | juano_ it doesnt show under applications...maybe i have to add th folder to my menu snce it might not have automatically done that...but it seems that synaptic is actually uninstalling it | 01:41 |
| kitofhawaii | GOdFAThe1: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html explains the repos you need | 01:41 |
| GOdFAThe1 | scguy318: can I post them in here? | 01:42 |
| juano__ | akorn: ahh ok | 01:42 |

| Torrential | Hey, I've got a little fstab/mounting question. | 01:52 |
| Torrential | I'm running the latest Ubuntu, and I edited my fstab file so it'd automatically mount my second harddrive at boot. | 01:52 |
| maverick_ | kelsin: yeah u're right , but what made u think of this package in specific ?!! | 01:52 |
| Torrential | However, it mounts this as read-only, I want all users to be able to change the files on the drive. | 01:52 |
| GOdFAThe1 | kitofhawaii: I cant even install automatix!! ARGGG | 01:52 |
| Flannel | GOdFAThe1: that's a good thing. You don't want Automatix. | 01:52 |

| TigranG | kitche: Is OSS better than ALSA? | 01:56 |

| IndyGunFreak | mzar: do you have all the repository options checked? | 02:11 |

| mzar | IndyGunFreak: i cannot open..it show this error > http://img353.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotsynapticor0.png | 02:16 |
| slic1 | do i edit sources.list and then try again? | 02:16 |
| TeslaDave | kelsin Think or Swim, i previously just installed in in a random directory just to see if it would run, so i assume i have to put in in home directory | 02:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | mzar: looks like something is wrong with your source list. | 02:17 |
| slic1 | imma try it brb | 02:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | mzar: have yo made any recent changes to your source list? | 02:17 |
| mzar | IndyGunFreak: i dont know how to fix it | 02:17 |
| mzar | IndyGunFreak: i change the server form main to US | 02:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | mzar: well, there's a couple ways, but first..., have you made any recent changes to your source list(ie, added or removed a repository) | 02:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | mzar: ok.. | 02:18 |
| frost0 | i can't remove the partition i made for vmware?!!? any ideas? | 02:18 |
| kelsin | TeslaDave: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=614996 read that, sounds like some users installed it fine | 02:18 |

| ronnies07 | so any reason why the i810 driver will direct render in GNOME but not Xfce? | 02:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | mzar: well, you can either use source-omatic, and create a new source list, or if you want, i'll pastebin my source list for you, your choice. | 02:18 |
| musikgoat | sorry *30s | 02:18 |
| kelsin | TeslaDave: not any home directory, YOUR home directory, that's where your user has write access, the user in that forum installed it into a hidden folder in his home directory, sounds like a good plan | 02:18 |
| mzar | IndyGunFreak: i take 2nd choice | 02:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | mzar: ok, hang on a sec. | 02:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | mzar: you are using gutsy, right? | 02:19 |

| MikeyMike | but no i'm using xp pro | 02:44 |
| kelsin | MikeyMike: well you can resize them completely stupidly, afaik it doesn't ever move data, but if you aren't technically using the end of the disk (by chance) it can shrink it | 02:44 |
| MikeyMike | kelsin, right.... i'm using the front half of the 332 gig partition.... i was going to resize to give my current windows barely any free space. then install my new hardware and install into the new partition. copy stuff from the old partition... then erase the old stuff and have my full 332 gigs again :) | 02:45 |

| MikeyMike | wols, it forces you to doesn't it? (windows xp professional) | 02:48 |
| kelsin | abadtooth: if you know what device it is in linux it's just "sudo mount /dev/<hard drive device> /path/to/a/mount/point" | 02:48 |

| MikeyMike | mind telling me more in /msg or query i meant | 02:48 |
| scguy318 | Vad1: but see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave | 02:48 |
| Vad1 | scguy318: at all? | 02:48 |
| scguy318 | Vad1: pretty close to that, but that link suggests a way | 02:49 |
| wols | MikeyMike: it doesn't force you at all | 02:49 |
| robrrr | kelsin: i had a read but it wasn't obvious which switch i should use, --quiet? | 02:49 |
| wols | and yes I do mind | 02:49 |
| Vad1 | scguy318: i'll give it a try, ok | 02:49 |

| mttr | help my usr/applications will not start any more.. the permissions seems ok.. can only get them to work when i sudo them in terminal | 02:49 |

| MikeyMike | so i can stop bugging you lol | 02:49 |
| denardo | Fun I'm back... I had had a second (PCMCIA) audio device connected, so I logged out, disconnected it, and logged in again, just in case that was the problem, but it didn't affect things. With Amarok at Autodetect, it still zooms silently through the playlist then gives the "device unavailable" error. | 02:49 |
| MikeyMike | wols, i'm not exactly sure what to search for to find more info about this | 02:49 |
| BigDaddy | scguy318: could the fact that I have Amarok installed be causing the popping sounds? Maybe xine conflicting with gstreamer or something? | 02:50 |
| kelsin | robrrr: I'm confused, if you've read the useradd man page you'd see that there isn't a --quiet flag | 02:50 |
| abadtooth | kelsin: lemme try that | 02:50 |
| scguy318 | BigDaddy: perhaps, but prob not | 02:50 |
| kelsin | robrrr: I don't think useradd normally asks questions | 02:50 |
| robrrr | ok i'll try again thanks | 02:50 |
| abadtooth | kelsin: the hard drive has windows on it and that is shot up and wont boot.. | 02:50 |
| BigDaddy | scguy318: This just started (that I noticed) last night while I was trying to get DVD ripping and music playback. Never got the DVD ripped but I got Amarok working fine | 02:51 |
| robrrr | kelsin: you're right i must have used a different command before, thanks for the help | 02:51 |
| scguy318 | BigDaddy: mm, unfortunately I don't know too much :( | 02:51 |

| ssam | i cant see partition manager | 02:58 |
| eyemean | jack_sparrow thanx for the thunar advice, very nice app and faster than before now, hahaha | 02:58 |

| mttr | found it on ubuntu site | 03:00 |

| Jack_Sparrow | routerl: Still NOT appreciated... | 03:12 |
| mttr | well i don't usual use gksudo.. but that is what the application applet use.. so i tried from terminal to simulate the function | 03:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MattJ: so you have used sudo to run gui apps...? | 03:13 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mttr: undoing it isnt all that easy, we would need to know what all you did as sudo in gui etc... | 03:16 |
| mttr | i've try to change permision with chown but no luck | 03:16 |
| robdig | shadowblade: or you can type source .profile (i think) | 03:16 |

| shadowblade | oh well, its not a real big deal | 03:17 |

| mttr | yes.. what ever comands are on the appliction applets (top) bar.. all seem to be messed up | 03:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mttr: Sorry, but I am out of answers for today... Hope I can come up with more for tomorrow | 03:17 |
| mttr | with permissions that is | 03:17 |
| robdig | shadowblade: just the terminal window...you are running bash as your shell, right? | 03:17 |
| mttr | thanks for your help | 03:18 |
| mttr | may have to reinstall | 03:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np.. sorry it wasnt an easy fix | 03:18 |
| shadowblade | rodbig: ... dunno, sorry | 03:18 |
| denardo | So it appears that if I'm to listen to non-firefox audio while keeping firefox open, the solution is to boot into Windows. *sigh* | 03:18 |
| greencookie | Does anyone in here know if scribefire can be set up with a last.fm journal account? | 03:18 |

| shadowblade | rodbig: again, its not a big deal, i thought it might be a quick change kind of thing | 03:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mttr: also.. if you burn var/cache/apt/archives to a cd you can save a ton of dl time later | 03:19 |
| robdig | shadowblade: if you haven't changed it then it is bash. try putting it in ~/.bashrc, that's what i meant to say...sorry | 03:19 |
| mttr | can't someone do a ls -l on there /usr/bin folder | 03:19 |
| shadowblade | rodbig: that worked, thanks | 03:19 |
| mttr | well i lease my home folder is on seperate drive | 03:19 |
| mttr | can someone do a ls -l on there /usr/bin folder | 03:20 |

| FunnyLookinHat | mnereson8, then you have to sudo aptitude update and then you can install your program : ) | 03:35 |
| mnereson8 | FunnyLokinHat: awesome, its going now - thanks a ton mate | 03:35 |
| cvd | http://tinyurl.com/3blqj5 | 03:35 |
| meoblast001 | any ideas? | 03:36 |
| FunnyLookinHat | mnereson8, no problem : ) | 03:36 |
| robdig | cvd: so try removing the first line and see what it does... | 03:36 |
| Ashfire908 | !netsplit > quanticle | 03:36 |
| tntCry | Darius08x, what do you mean worked? the wireless card or the internet connection ? | 03:36 |
| FunnyLookinHat | meoblast001, with the email notification, I'm not sure of a way to do that with evolution, sorry | 03:37 |
| meoblast001 | ok | 03:37 |
| Darius08x | tntCry: ...Both? I could connect wireless and everything | 03:37 |
| meoblast001 | any ideas for the WINE problem? | 03:37 |
| robdig | cvd: ah, * is in wrong column in your pastebin...compare to sample | 03:37 |
| FunnyLookinHat | meoblast001, with the .EXE files, you can set the default when you right click a .EXE - Choose Open With - Open with Other Application --- Just type in wine and check the box to make it default | 03:37 |
| tntCry | Darius08x, so you mean ubuntu havent detected your card ? | 03:38 |
| Darius08x | Yeah | 03:38 |
| TigranG | Does building a custom kernel actually make the system faster? | 03:39 |
| cvd | still the same :-) | 03:39 |
| cvd | :-( | 03:39 |
| meoblast001 | FunnyLookinHat: i dont have that option | 03:39 |
| tntCry | im the wrong person to help you with Darius08x , but if its an internet problem that means if your card works and your connected to your router and erverything but your internet isnt working it means you cant surf or log in msn ect.. that is a problem i can help you with. | 03:39 |
| Darius08x | tntCry: Thats not my problem, it's just not detecting the card. ): But it did in the live cd which is odd | 03:39 |
| robdig | cvd: try deleting the first line and see if it will compile | 03:40 |
| tntCry | hmm | 03:40 |
| tntCry | did you type dmesg? | 03:40 |
| FunnyLookinHat | meoblast001, Ahh, so it isn't there... hold on, I forget how to do it | 03:40 |
| FunnyLookinHat | meoblast001, give me a sec, I'll find it for you | 03:40 |
| tntCry | intrminal Darius08x | 03:40 |
| Darius08x | nope hold on | 03:40 |
| cvd | after deleting the first line http://pastebin.com/d3af8d0c7 | 03:40 |
| tntCry | and see if you find the name of your WIcard theyr Darius08x | 03:41 |
| judgement07 | does anyone use DEVEDE? | 03:41 |
| FunnyLookinHat | meoblast001, hmm.. I'm not totally sure. You should google for it. When I installed WINE, it automatically set the default for .EXE files to be WINE | 03:41 |
| TigranG | Does building a custom kernel from source actually make the system faster? | 03:41 |
| Darius08x | tntCry: Don't see it | 03:41 |
| meoblast001 | will reinstalling Wine destroy all my previous settings and files? | 03:42 |
| cvd | maybe there something wrong with the terminal? | 03:42 |
| FunnyLookinHat | meoblast001, probably not, you can make sure it doesn't by doing this in a console | 03:42 |
| FunnyLookinHat | meoblast001, mv .wine .wine_backup | 03:42 |
| cvd | cuz sometimes i cant use the su at all | 03:42 |
| FunnyLookinHat | meoblast001, then once you reinstall wine, do this: mv .wine_backup .wine | 03:42 |
| tntCry | dirst of all Darius08x what is it a laptop? built in wireless with mobo or a PCMCI laptop card or a PCI slot for PC. | 03:43 |
| Darius08x | PCI slot for pc | 03:43 |
| MattJ | Is it true that there is a maximum of 2GB for swap in Linux? | 03:44 |
| tntCry | you know Darius08x if i was you i would remove it and put it in another slot | 03:44 |
| Darius08x | Ok, thanks I guess i can try | 03:44 |
| tntCry | and try booting ubuntu again . this may cause of conflict that is 1 of the 80 reasons | 03:44 |
| tntCry | but the other reasons is you must get some files and stuff but that is also recommended if my way didnt work . | 03:44 |
| robdig | cvd: i don't remember, does cobol statements start in column 7 or 8? been too long...either way, for the warning, try doing cobc -free hello.cob | 03:45 |
| robdig | cvd: that will allow free format cobol | 03:45 |
| tntCry | i always start with basics Darius08x before i go with the hardcore setting | 03:45 |
| Darius08x | Ok, thank you, gonna go try that out, bye for noe | 03:45 |
| Darius08x | now | 03:45 |

| Alyxander | hey guys has anyone checked out GEubuntu | 03:46 |
| ajeet | pls what is the comibation keys for kill command | 03:46 |
| Zhaozhou | Alyxander, heh, gebuntu. Allways new flavours. | 03:46 |
| meoblast001 | ajeet: to kill an application use System > Administration > System Monitor | 03:46 |
| Zhaozhou | i wish there was a list of them. _all_ of them. | 03:47 |
| meoblast001 | ajeet: there you will be able to right click on the name of the process and click kill | 03:47 |
| ajeet | is there a key combo | 03:47 |
| Alyxander | Zhaozhou, yup Gnome mixed with E17 very nice very very nice | 03:47 |
| meoblast001 | ajeet: you can make one | 03:47 |
| ajeet | like in suse | 03:47 |
| Zhaozhou | Alyxander, e17 <3 | 03:47 |
| Fyda | ajeet: No, but you could set one or create a launcher for 'xkill' | 03:47 |
| meoblast001 | ajeet: first install the program xbindkeys | 03:47 |
| Zhaozhou | Im thinking of getting e17 on my box. e17 is really keyboard-friendly. | 03:48 |
| robdig | cvd: i don't remember, does cobol statements start in column 7 or 8? been too long...either way, for the warning, try doing cobc -free hello.cob | 03:48 |
| robdig | cvd: as far as the ld error, looks like you need to install ncurses | 03:48 |
| meoblast001 | ajeet: Fyda's idea sounds a little easier | 03:48 |
| Alyxander | Zhaozhou, its hot the only reason i switched fro xubuntu with e installed was to see if they got it right with wireless and yeah they did | 03:49 |
| cvd | cannot find -lncurses | 03:49 |
| Zhaozhou | Alyxander, :D nice! | 03:49 |
| lht | Hi all. my apache wont start with /etc/init.d/apache2 start | 03:49 |
| Zhaozhou | Alyxander, what wireless card do you have? | 03:49 |
| Fyda | meoblast001: ajeet left :( | 03:50 |
| meoblast001 | Fyda: he did? | 03:51 |
| meoblast001 | im always late on that stuff | 03:51 |
| robdig | cvd: you need to install ncurses, the open cobol web site says 5.2 or later, not sure i see that, but try this...sudo apt-get install libncurses5 | 03:51 |
| cvd | i have intalled the libncurses5, libncursesw5,libncurses-base,ncurses-bin | 03:51 |
| robdig | cvd: did you install open cobol from the ubuntu repositories or from their website? | 03:52 |
| cvd | from synaptic | 03:52 |
| cvd | and all the requirements | 03:52 |
| robdig | cvd: then it should have downloaded everything you need...suggest you open a bug on it | 03:53 |
| daks | does anybody know what could cause gnome to start slowly, displaying the ubuntu splash screen for an extended period? | 03:55 |
| judgement07 | jkgkj | 03:57 |
| judgement07 | whats wrong w/ this? is this slow or just me? | 03:57 |

| jonesy | yeah, that's where my confusion is. | 04:02 |
| jonesy | wtf is going on? | 04:02 |
| Fyda | I know it's inconsistent, and would like a fix as well. | 04:02 |
| jonesy | if I turn "PCM" down (wtf is that?) the volume goes down. | 04:03 |

| skar | Failed to allocate page for guest RAM!" | 04:03 |
| jonesy | this is an area where instead of having 15 different sound systems to choose from, it would be nice if linux had *one* that worked with the major desktops in some kind of seamless way. | 04:03 |
| nickrud | jonesy: if changing pcm (pulse code modulation?) , right click the volume control and tell it to control pcm | 04:04 |
| nickrud | *works, that is | 04:04 |

| troythetechguy | I'm looking for the "info" pages, and I don't see many of them in 7.04. Is this common within Ubuntu? | 04:11 |

| Neodudeman | weird | 04:12 |
| Fyda | Neodudeman: That shortcut switches to the VT. It seems that this allows the system to finish booting up. I do not know of a solution. | 04:12 |
