| LillBirdy | Nickrud: Yeah but when I browse for a file on let say (reconstructor or any other program) I get to weird libraries and I can't get back to the home/desktop/documents where my real files are. | 00:00 |

| nickrud | LillBirdy, ah, ok. on the right of the file manager window, you should see a Places box | 00:01 |
|---|
| backgen | Eagleray: should i close the Installer? | 00:01 |
|---|
| LillBirdy | nickrud: ok, do you mean the location box or a button called places? | 00:02 |
|---|
| nickrud | sfielder, sometimes people with that experience come through here. I'd suggest subscribing to the ubuntu-users mailling list, some smart answers there | 00:02 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: yes please | 00:02 |
|---|
| nickrud | LillBirdy, we are talking about the file broswser, right? | 00:02 |
|---|
| gonzoism | Phusion :) | 00:02 |

| Phusion | ? | 00:02 |
|---|
| backgen | Eagleray: ok just did, ran the command again and got the same response: "unable to open /dev/hda" | 00:02 |
|---|
| LillBirdy | Nickrud: Yea | 00:02 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: the only thing you should have open is the terminal with fdisk, you don't want anything accessing the disk or you'll have errors writing the partition table | 00:03 |

|---|
| Phusion | oggie: try google, lots of tutorials | 00:03 |
|---|
| gonzoism | Phusion yeah. i just got back and scrolled up. not so witty. just nice. :) | 00:03 |
|---|
| Phusion | oh, what did I say? | 00:03 |
|---|
| nickrud | LillBirdy, I have a pane that shows the current directory's files and folders on the left, and on the right there's a side pane. It has rich, Desktop, Filesystem, etc in it | 00:03 |

| oggie | i looked at eggheads.org and ./configure doesnt work for the apt-get version | 00:03 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: that's slightly concerning, can you reboot please? (still to the livecd) | 00:03 |
|---|
| gonzoism | Phusion about not being a video guru | 00:03 |
|---|
| Phusion | ohhhh ok. | 00:04 |
|---|
| oggie | i ./eggdrop at the folder and it says no configuration files | 00:04 |
|---|
| backgen | Eagleray: absolutely, be right back | 00:04 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: this guy says he can't see an issue with your setup. You say you're on 800x600 -- using gnome? | 00:04 |
|---|
| Phusion | oggie: well.. wait.. what? | 00:04 |
|---|
| Slart | oggie: ./configure is for the source version... when you apt-get something you get the compiled version | 00:04 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: cheers | 00:04 |
|---|
| Phusion | oggie: you need to google, you're missing some steps | 00:04 |
|---|
| Phusion | oggie: this is ubuntu support, not eggdrop | 00:04 |

| mkz | I've started to notice something rather irritating. I am developing with NetBeans 5.5.1. On fairly regular intervals I'm able to observe a java task run away with 99% of CPU and it hangs my netbeans for the duration. Is there anyway I can track down the source of this issue? I'm running on Gutsy with the latest update applied... | 00:04 |
|---|
| oggie | ive looked, but i think its exclusive to ubuntu | 00:04 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Eagleray: thanks for helping... hope you see my reasoning for trying to be extra careful | 00:05 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: Can PB the xorg.conf.backup and Xorg.0.log.backup. These are the ones that error out and leave blank screen. Currently running on xorg.conf.failsafe. | 00:05 |
|---|
| Slart | can't you just run the bot right away? without compiling? | 00:05 |

| Eagleray | Jack_Sparrow: yeah I'm starting to wonder the same thing - if fdisk doesn't work properly after this reboot then I think that your DOS solution is maybe the best way, and I'd back up anything important asap | 00:07 |

| TBotNik_u | soundray: Explain *native* | 00:07 |

|---|
| Slart | unbeatabl: oh.. I wouldn't know.. look at the apache docs perhaps | 00:08 |

| Eagleray | Jack_Sparrow: my usual approach would be to dd the boot sector, but I doubt he has a backup | 00:08 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | Eagleray: what about dd'ing or tar his windows to the fat32 as a form of backup | 00:08 |

| TBotNik_u | soundray: You mean the res of the monitor? | 00:09 |

|---|
| backgen | Phusion: hey phusion....its very confusing...and so far i dont think i have any OS that works on my system...or my hard disk is fried...which would really piss me off | 00:10 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: a partition table that can't be read is not a good thing | 00:10 |

|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: do you have any means to back up the data on your windows partition before we go any further? | 00:11 |

|---|
| ikari | soundray: it has a pushable LED, but it does not seem to work. It's an Acer TM laptop | 00:12 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: do what wols_ said, if this gives errors then your disk is physically failing | 00:12 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: if it succeeds, then you probably just have a corrupt MBR | 00:12 |
|---|
| backgen | wols: should i paste bin the response? it doesnt look like any errors though | 00:12 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: no. if there is no text, then there are no errors | 00:12 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: please, just in case | 00:12 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: FYI.. you would never get this kind of support from Dell, Windows or any other distro | 00:12 |
|---|
| soundray | ikari: reboot the laptop and press the button while the grub menu displays. Then it should turn on. | 00:12 |
|---|
| wols_ | Jack_Sparrow: I respectfully disagree :) | 00:13 |

| b1n0ry | Slart/soundray: the progress bar completes, screen switches to text mode, like it's supposed to | 00:18 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: could i use that? | 00:18 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: to slow? the tigers eat you before you're finished? you get errors?.. how can it be to slow? | 00:18 |
|---|
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, informational line | 00:18 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: I didn't say anything about gparted. open a terminal, sudo cfdisk /dev/sda. if that doesn't work, sudo fdisk /dev/sda | 00:18 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: I'm us, we call that monitor. Panel is a part of the active desktop Gnome software so you had me confused. | 00:18 |

| b1n0ry | i'm not concerned about the slow... i'm on the alternate CD now, not the live CD | 00:18 |

|---|
| wols_ | backgen: which one? | 00:19 |
|---|
| Slart | jack12: I'm guessing the iftab contains info on your network cards? that's in /etc/network or something | 00:19 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: and the partition thing should be fairly self explanatory | 00:19 |
|---|

| markaa | This is the first time this has happened to me.... this command has always worked.... anyone? | 00:19 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: back, sorry about that - anyway, the reason we're concerned is that fdisk won't load his partition table | 00:19 |
|---|
| jack12 | Slart: i will check /etc/network | 00:20 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: I doubt that if dd reads it | 00:20 |
|---|
| Eagleray | Jack_Sparrow: gaa..... users | 00:20 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: Not teaching, just telling what we call things here. | 00:20 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: can you pastebin the xterm content? | 00:20 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: well, you're telling me wrong. | 00:20 |
|---|
| backgen | Eagleray: i just loaded cfdisk onto Terminal | 00:20 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: dd is reading the raw MBR, that's not to say that there is something meaningful there.... | 00:20 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | so, that's what's going on. to summarize: live cd is too slow, got the alternate. alternate starts to load but when it switches to text mode, gives me a couple lines like a standard linux kernel load on a laptop, screen goes black, then it just sits there. | 00:20 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: sure do you have a link to paste bin? | 00:21 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: since fdisk -l could deal with the mbr there should... | 00:21 |
|---|
| wols_ | !paste | backgen | 00:21 |
|---|
| ubotu | backgen: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 00:21 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: I agree with your solution, it's what I was planning on trying in the first place, until fdisk started spitting out errors | 00:21 |
|---|
| Slart | jack12: there's also some stuff in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 00:21 |
|---|
| byah | woah... man I really am a noob. I just came from windows sort of lol. | 00:21 |
|---|
| Slart | jack12: depends on what you're looking for | 00:21 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: this is why I want cfdisk output right now | 00:21 |
|---|
| jals | is there a way to make all trash go to the same place? my second hdd makes its own .Trash directory which i keep forgetting do empty | 00:21 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: :-) | 00:21 |
|---|
| jack12 | nope, /etc/networks has nothin like iftab?? | 00:21 |
|---|
| Slart | jals: then you'd have to copy stuff every time it's deleted.. takes time | 00:21 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: did you tell him to use sudo with fdisk? | 00:22 |
|---|
| ikari | soundray: it didn't work, isn't there any console command for turning it on? | 00:22 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: a modeline is a software setting. To answer my question, it's no use to refer to a modeline. You need to find out what the number of physical pixels in your monitor is. | 00:22 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: As you can tell from the PBs and other (file PB at: http://pastebin.ca/824472) the monitor is an AMW MR19C-AB LCD monitor. | 00:22 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48951/ | 00:22 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: yep, and it failed | 00:22 |
|---|
| cr4 | does any body here Know the way to mount shared folders NFS in fstab ? | 00:22 |
|---|
| wols_ | jack12: what do you want it for? | 00:22 |
|---|
| soundray | ikari: with Acer I'm not sure. Look into acerhk | 00:22 |
|---|
| Vlet | How can one, from ssh, connect to (control?) an actually tty on a system? | 00:22 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | i like ubuntu because (at least what i've seen of the live cd) it recognizes my wifi.. unlike every other distro i've tried. as of now, i'm stuck on windows :( | 00:22 |
|---|
| zaxius | if i type glxinfo | grep render, and it says direct rendering: No, does that mean 3d acceleration is not enabled? | 00:22 |
|---|
| zaxius | cuz i can run compiz fine. | 00:22 |
|---|
| jack12 | wols: i want to rename some of my interfaces | 00:22 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: that doesn't tell me what its resolution is. | 00:22 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: that free space is kinda funny and slightly worrying | 00:22 |
|---|
| jack12 | *network interfaces | 00:22 |
|---|
| Eagleray | cr4: server:/path/to/folder /local/mount/point nfs defaults 0 0 | 00:22 |
|---|
| markaa | this is really strange... I had just installed Gutsy on this machine 2 days ago and I thought for sure Samba Server was installed by default..... but it was not..... and so I have to install it .... why do you think this would happen? | 00:22 |
|---|
| fabio | my virtualbox dont detect my dvd rom what i need to do? | 00:22 |
|---|
| Slart | jack12: I think you want the udev one .. /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 00:22 |
|---|
| wols_ | jack12: there is no need for iftab. use udev | 00:22 |
|---|
| cr4 | Eagleray, just defaults 0 0 ? | 00:23 |
|---|
| soundray | ikari: 'apt-cache search acerhk' | 00:23 |
|---|
| wols_ | jack12: the file Slart mentions | 00:23 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: what!! i hadn't noticed that...that was my dell utility before | 00:23 |
|---|
| Eagleray | cr4: unless you need something kinky, yes | 00:23 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: We did that using the modeline generator I referred you to. If you were reading the notes from Neddy, you see that the web site and other info we can gather online about this device does not tell us any other info we need. | 00:23 |
|---|
| byah | I am sorry people, but I am totally clueless right now. Is there an IRC I can lurk and learn from for awhile? | 00:23 |
|---|
| jack12 | wols: what about ppl that install stuff like ndiswrapper in ubuntu, how do they go about editing "iftab' | 00:23 |
|---|
| LjL | wols_, mind joining -ops a second? | 00:23 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: ok wait i'll paste bin the correction | 00:23 |
|---|
| stacey | on a toshiba laptop i only get sound though my headphones | 00:23 |
|---|
| cr4 | Eagleray, ok thanks man | 00:23 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart/soundray: any suggestions? | 00:23 |
|---|
| wols_ | jack12: I told you. unecessary | 00:23 |
|---|
| jack12 | wols_: thanks dude | 00:24 |
|---|
| Slart | Vlet: I tried doing that for years for my debian server.. noone could give me a good answer.. tell me if you find something | 00:24 |
|---|
| soundray | ikari: this may enable the special acer keys on your machine. | 00:24 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48952/ | 00:24 |
|---|
| backgen | there we go | 00:24 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: Jack_Sparrow: backgen: will you guys be ok if I head off for my lunchbreak, or do you want me to hang around for a while? Will be back in 35 mins or so otherwise | 00:24 |
|---|
| Phusion | soundray: what will enable acer buttons? | 00:24 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: huh? could you repeat the question? | 00:24 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: did you restart cfdisk and this is the result? | 00:24 |
|---|
| ikonia | Eagleray: will you guys be "ok"? | 00:24 |
|---|
| fabio | my virtualbox dont detect my dvd rom what i need to do? | 00:24 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: i have no idea how that free space got there...but i just typed in sudo cfdisk /dev/sda again into Terminal and got that | 00:24 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: yes | 00:25 |
|---|
| ikari | soundray: other hotkeys seem to be working fine.. | 00:25 |
|---|
| cocox | do you know how to change the languaje into your bash shell??? | 00:25 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart: live cd is too slow, got the alternate. alternate starts to load but when it switches to text mode, gives me a couple lines like a standard linux kernel load on a laptop, screen goes black, then it just sits there. | 00:25 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: ah.. it goes black before or after the install if finished? | 00:25 |
|---|
| RB2 | Hi Everyone. I added a second monitor. Should X automatically detect that or do I have to run through the X configuration again? | 00:25 |
|---|
| soundray | Phusion: there is a package for it. I think it's called acerhk or has that in the name. | 00:25 |
|---|
| Slart | before then... right | 00:25 |
|---|
| Phusion | soundray: hrmm, interesting | 00:25 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: If you google this monitor or go to the mfg site of pge (china) you find nothing. | 00:25 |
|---|
| soundray | ikari: check your BIOS setup as well to ensure it's not disabled in there. | 00:26 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart: it boots, gives me the boot menu, it says "install text mode", it says "loading kernel", switches to text screen mode, screen goes black | 00:26 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart: never starts the install, never shows signs that it actually loaded the kernel | 00:26 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: Jack_Sparrow: backgen: back in half an hour, will check backscroll for anything addressed to me when I get back | 00:26 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: do you have another operating system on this machine? | 00:26 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart: and the cd-rom spins down | 00:26 |
|---|
| backgen | Eagleray: well i guess its up to you, but i wouldn't want to deprive you of your lunch! Thanks for all your help | 00:26 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: it doesn't recognize recovery partitions very well probably | 00:26 |
|---|
| ikari | soundray: ok... | 00:26 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: no just ubuntu | 00:27 |
|---|
| wols_ | but that it once recognizes it and sometimes not is worrying | 00:27 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: ok so what should i do next? | 00:27 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: hmm.. I'm not really familiar with the alternate install.. it stays in text mode? or it goes into some vesa mode??...no error messages at all? | 00:27 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: where is that mbr file I told you about? | 00:27 |
|---|
| jack12 | does anybody know of any good programs for laptop touchpad sensitivity controls?? | 00:27 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: which mbr file? | 00:27 |
|---|
| wols_ | can you copy it to some external medium like a usb stick? | 00:27 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart: the alternate install is supposed to be text-based install. it is supposed to be in text mode. though the screen flashes like it goes into a weird mode or something. | 00:27 |
|---|
| wols_ | the one you created with dd earlier. the one that had 512bytes written | 00:27 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: perhaps it's some hardware detection routine.. I really have no idea.. | 00:28 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart: the problem with the live CD is... i click the install icon, wait 45 minutes, answer the first question, wait 45 minutes, answer the second question, wait 30 minutes... give up | 00:28 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: I have another machine on KVM to this monitor that is Gentoo and it is working, but Neddy helped me with that one. Sorry the same setting in the xorg.conf there do not fix any thing here. | 00:28 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: can you switch to a text console, log in and run 'sudo ddcprobe' | 00:28 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: well.. at least it's working =) | 00:28 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: whoa...i don't recall ever doing that actually... | 00:28 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: you may have to install that tool | 00:28 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart: yeah, but i don't have 10 hours to install an OS ;) | 00:29 |
|---|
| === stacey is now known as Xbehave |
| slugone | crud i burned the ubuntu iso to a blank cd and it failed the integrity test.....will it be hard to configure a 1 gig usb stick to boot and install ubuntu | 00:29 |
|---|
| soundray | b1n0ry: how much RAM do you have? | 00:29 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: hehe.. nah.. 10 hours is a bit much.. I agree.. is there an option to "check install disc" or something? | 00:29 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | soundray: 1.5 GB | 00:29 |
|---|
| Slart | 1.5 GB... the live CD shouldn't be that slow.. | 00:29 |
|---|
| bim | network manager: I dialed a pptp connection, it connected successfully, but the network manager doesn't know. So it won't let me connect a vpn. | 00:30 |
|---|
| TBotNik | soundray: That command totally locked the box, will have to hard reboot. | 00:30 |
|---|
| Slart | I installed on a computer with 500 MB.. worked great | 00:30 |
|---|
| bim | and I don't know how to dial a vpn from command line. | 00:30 |
|---|
| soundray | b1n0ry: you haven't disabled anything vital in the BIOS setup, like 2nd level caching? | 00:30 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart/sounray: no kidding. 1.5 GB RAM and a 3.2 GB proc... decent for a laptop | 00:30 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | 3.2 MHz | 00:30 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | dang, not thinking | 00:30 |
|---|
| cocox | does anybody knows how to change the languaje into your bash shell??? | 00:30 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | GHz | 00:30 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | wtf | 00:30 |
|---|
| slugone | gigahertz | 00:30 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | let me try that again... | 00:31 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: I gave you a dd command. you ran it | 00:31 |
|---|
| slugone | would be nice | 00:31 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: I've installed ubuntu on a via uATX board.. those things run like 700 MHz.. 500MB.. and that was snappy as always | 00:31 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart/soundray: no kidding. 1.5 GB RAM and a 3.2 GHz proc... decent for a laptop | 00:31 |
|---|
| TBotNik | soundray: Rebooting now. Will bounce in from U box when it's up | 00:31 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: it created a file named "mbr". you should backup this file and maybe show it to us if at all possible | 00:31 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | ...sheesh, got that out | 00:31 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: either you've got some weird hardware.. or something else is wrong | 00:31 |
|---|
| wols_ | it's your partition table among other things. so we'd look at it if all 3 partitions show up | 00:31 |
|---|
| ubuntu | t.adunanza.net | 00:31 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik: try booting in recovery mode. Maybe ddcprobe collided with X running. | 00:31 |
|---|
| slugone | okay i really need help......i ubuntu cd failed its integrity test.......i gotta put it on a 1gig mem stick will it be hard to boot from the usb drive? | 00:32 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: ah alright...you mean this one? sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr count=1 bs=512 | 00:32 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: and I'm sorry to say.. I won't be able to help you fix it.. wife is pulling me to bed as we speak | 00:32 |
|---|
| soundray | wols_: you read binary MBRs? | 00:32 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: but you've got the local guru's here.. they'll help you | 00:32 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart: bah, what is it about women in beds that is so distracting | 00:32 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: ok...but where is the file it created though? | 00:32 |
|---|
| wols_ | soundray: hex dumps. they're easy | 00:32 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | Slart: nite, man :) | 00:32 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: OK back. Sorry, since the cmd locked the box can not share any output with you. | 00:33 |
|---|
| Slart | b1n0ry: hehe.. .good night | 00:33 |
|---|
| * soundray raises his hat to wols_ | 00:33 |
| wols_ | 16 bytes pre entry, 4 entries. ends with 55 AA. it's the last 66 bytes of your MBR | 00:33 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik: try booting in recovery mode. Maybe ddcprobe collided with X running. | 00:33 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | i think i'm just gonna have to give in and keep windows | 00:33 |
|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: no! | 00:33 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: "16 bytes pre entry, 4 entries. ends with 55 AA. it's the last 66 bytes of your MBR" was that directed at me? | 00:33 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: K, brb! Rebooting in safe mode. | 00:33 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: ubuntu won't install, and no other disto that i've tried handles my wifi | 00:34 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: at soundray | 00:34 |
|---|
| codo | hi guy | 00:34 |
|---|
| codo | s | 00:34 |
|---|
| bazhang | what wifi b1n0ry | 00:34 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: oh ok...so that file that the dd command created...where can i find it to back it up? | 00:34 |
|---|
| codo | I seem to be having problems | 00:34 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: you go and make that file available if you can. and most imprtantly, back it up on external media | 00:34 |
|---|
| codo | with the wireless in ubuntu | 00:34 |
|---|
| fistikuffs | I have a dumb question, can anyone tell me how to save the "always on top" and "always on visible worktop" settings so i don't have to keep doing it every time i start amarok? | 00:34 |

| codo | should i need ndiswrapper ? | 00:34 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: Altheros 5005gs | 00:34 |
|---|
| soundray | wols_: cool, thanks! | 00:35 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: and i'm not mucking around with hacked up windows drivers and ndiswrapper or some garbage like that | 00:35 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: i have an external hard drive will that work? | 00:35 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: yes | 00:35 |
|---|
| codo | ? | 00:35 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: ok...so how can i find the file? | 00:35 |
|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: what other distros have you tried with that? | 00:35 |
|---|
| papagnome | yo | 00:35 |
|---|
| wols_ | codo: depends on your wlan chip | 00:35 |
|---|
| codo | anyone who can help me with the ubuntu ndiswrapper stuffs for compaq presario ? | 00:35 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: openSUSE and Fedora | 00:35 |
|---|
| papagnome | my duel monitors stoped working | 00:35 |
|---|
| ianm_ | can you set a fullscreen application (opengl) to run in xorg background behind GNOME? | 00:35 |
|---|
| codo | i have this broadcom chip wols_ | 00:35 |
|---|
| papagnome | i tried everything | 00:35 |
|---|
| codo | so what can I do, googling has confused me :( | 00:35 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: it's in the current directory whne you were running the dd command | 00:35 |
|---|
| papagnome | even reinstalled ubuntu | 00:36 |
|---|
| wols_ | you cab run it again: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr count=1 bs=512 | 00:36 |
|---|
| papagnome | i have an nvida card with 2 outputs | 00:36 |
|---|
| codo | wols_: so ill need ndiswrappe ? | 00:36 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: you mean Terminal? | 00:36 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: pretty much the mainstream releases | 00:36 |
|---|
| soundray | !dualhead > papagnome, please read the private message from ubotu | 00:36 |
|---|
| papagnome | and only 1 monitor will work proprer ly | 00:36 |
|---|
| codo | anyway i can get my wireless up running ? | 00:36 |
|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: well you can get it working, likely, with the madwifi--but if you are set on windows, then.. | 00:36 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: yes | 00:36 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: oh ok...so you mean this: 1+0 records in | 00:37 |
|---|
| backgen | 1+0 records out | 00:37 |
|---|
| backgen | 512 bytes (512 B) copied, 0.000497648 seconds, 1.0 MB/s | 00:37 |
|---|
| wols_ | codo: no. bcm43xx should work. not so long ago ndiswrapper was needed however | 00:37 |
|---|
| papagnome | sound ray already read that | 00:37 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: i'm not set on it, i just don't want to have to mod crap up, that's all. that's why i was kinda set on ubuntu. what i did see of the live cd at least got me online with my wireless without doing anything but setting my encryption key. | 00:37 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: but how do i save that? | 00:37 |
|---|
| wols_ | already saved. in a file named mbr in your current dir | 00:37 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: and transfer it to my external hard drive? | 00:37 |
|---|
| wols_ | ls -l mbr | 00:37 |
|---|
| cocox | does anybody knows how to change the languaje into your bash shell??? | 00:38 |
|---|
| papagnome | when i said i tried everything i really ment it | 00:38 |
|---|
| wols_ | mount external harddisk, use cp to copy it over | 00:38 |
|---|
| wols_ | cocox: X or console? | 00:38 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: ahhh!! i'm really sorry wols, but i have no clue what your talking about...where's my current directory? | 00:38 |
|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: wait--the wireless worked in livecd mode, then it failed once you installed? sounds like an easy fix | 00:38 |
|---|
| aladdinsane | how can i make xubuntu write to my usb drive immidiately, right now it writes to the drive when i unmount it, i get a message with something like "data has to be written to the drive before you unmount it" | 00:38 |
|---|
| bazhang | aladdinsane: you have to safely unmount it | 00:39 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: the directory you are in _right_ now. run "pwd" and it's shown. run "ls -l mbr" and you see a 512 bytes file | 00:39 |
|---|
| soundray | aladdinsane: you can mount it with the 'sync' option | 00:39 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: no! i haven't been able to install ubuntu at all. | 00:39 |
|---|
| TBotNik | soundray: Where you want the synopsis? | 00:39 |
|---|
| codo | wols_: any guides ? | 00:39 |
|---|
| OldSpice | I'm making a partition so my windows and linux can both share the space. Am I supposed to make this partition Primary or Logical? | 00:39 |
|---|
| wols_ | aladdinsane: mount it synced. should be a mount option IIRC. or run sudo sync | 00:39 |

| skelter | so, my bios says one processor speed, and /proc/cpuinfo gives another. is this a normal thing? 7.10, and one of these new quad core 3ghz procs from intel | 00:39 |
|---|
| codo | so that i can go step step installtion ? | 00:39 |
|---|
| codo | or rather configuration ? | 00:40 |

| bazhang | b1n0ry: you can use the livecd but not install it? | 00:40 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: i could... sorta... get the live cd to run. i just couldn't install. that's how i figured the wifi would work. | 00:40 |
|---|
| aladdinsane | soundray: yes but i dont want to reload fstab everytime i plug it in | 00:40 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | skelter: it scales your cpu frequency, it will change when you need more power | 00:40 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: who knows, i gave up trying because of how long it was taking. | 00:40 |
|---|
| wols_ | skelter: yes if you use something like cpufreqd | 00:40 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: it took me about 2 hours to get to question #2 | 00:40 |
|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: sorry, what do you mean by sorta? | 00:40 |
|---|
| soundray | aladdinsane: "reload fstab"? Once you set sync in fstab, the option will be used every time | 00:40 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: ok i've copied the file onto my external hard drive...what next? | 00:41 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: i clicked the "install" icon on the live cd gnome desktop. it took 30 minutes to completely draw the first installation question window. | 00:41 |
|---|
| skelter | oh i see | 00:41 |
|---|
| TBotNik | soundray: Gives >> 1280x1024@75 (VESA) <<, >> 1280x1024@70 <<, >> 30-80, 55-75 <<, >> name=A911B << | 00:41 |
|---|
| aladdinsane | wols_ at: you mean run sync manually everytime i plug it in? | 00:41 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: can you upload the file somewhere? can you do dcc? | 00:41 |
|---|
| skelter | will /proc/cpuinfo get updated when i need more power? | 00:41 |
|---|
| skelter | in real time? | 00:41 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: then it took 45 more minutes to say i spoke english (or whatever the first question was) and get to the next question | 00:41 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | skelter: yes | 00:41 |
|---|
| wols_ | I want to look at it before I call it a proper backup of the MBR | 00:41 |
|---|
| skelter | cool, thanks :) | 00:41 |
|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: and how was it when you were using the livecd? was it really sluggish then? | 00:41 |
|---|
| papagnome | is there another linux distro i should look at to use my multiple monitor heads ? | 00:41 |
|---|
| OldSpice | jack_sparrow: when making the partition for both windows and ubuntu to access, should i make this primary or logical? | 00:41 |
|---|
| wols_ | skelter: yes | 00:41 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: that -was- using the live cd | 00:42 |
|---|
| wols_ | OldSpice: doesn't matter. both will work | 00:42 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: umm...well where would you like me to upload it? and whats dcc? | 00:42 |
|---|
| loucas | hi | 00:42 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: took about 30 seconds or so for a menu to appear when i clicked on it, that kind of thing | 00:42 |
|---|
| OldSpice | wols_: what's the difference between primary and logical? | 00:42 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: i can e-mail it to you if you like | 00:42 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: dcc is a way to send files over IRC | 00:42 |
|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: no, you are talking about the install sequence--I mean the bit about surfing the web in livecd mode, etc | 00:42 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: oh...well i don't think i can dcc | 00:42 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: sluggish wasn't really the word i'd choose... more like... maybe it was just going so fast that it broke einsteins theory of relativity and looked like it was going backwards? | 00:42 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: Did that help you? | 00:42 |
|---|
| aladdinsane | soundray: hmm ok, maybe i was wrong, but i thought so cause i tried it and it didnt work, it still wasnt writing to it immidiately | 00:42 |
|---|
| loucas | i am wondering if someone is willing to help me several threads at ubuntuforums and nobody gives me an asnswer | 00:43 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: see PM | 00:43 |
|---|
| wols_ | !ask | loucas | 00:43 |
|---|
| ubotu | loucas: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 00:43 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: yeah, that too. it was very slow. took a long time to boot the live cd. | 00:43 |
|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: sorry I don't really understand that--was it problematic in livecd mode? not install mode sequence | 00:43 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: probably 20 minutes to get to the gnome desktop | 00:43 |
|---|
| loucas | i have an intel965 card and i dont have any sound and i cannot enable the detskop effects | 00:43 |
|---|
| loucas | any link to solve this problem? | 00:44 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik: excellent. Use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to make changes to your xorg.conf. Accept all the defaults, except in the monitor section. There you select "Advanced", set 1280x1024 as the resolution, 30-80 for your hsync and 55-75 for your vrefresh range. | 00:44 |
|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: well I am asking about something else entirely; not the boot, nor the install--but the actual use in livecd mode--I am trying to help out here so could you answer that question | 00:44 |
|---|
| asymptonic | Anyone else not able to boot after today's kernel upgrade? Gutsy/AMD64/Root on LVM | 00:44 |

| slugone | anyone know a site where they teach you how to put ubuntu onto a usb thumb stick to install ubuntu....my last blank cd failed | 00:44 |
|---|
| asymptonic | I've tried all I know how | 00:44 |
|---|
| asymptonic | including downgrading | 00:44 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: with the live cd, from the time i turned on the computer until i got to the desktop was about 20 minutes. then, it took about 5-10 minutes to click the wifi settings and put in my key. then it took about 10 minutes to open firefox. | 00:44 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | asymptonic: tried booting an older kernel? | 00:45 |
|---|
| ianm_ | b1n0ry: could your cd drive be dying? | 00:45 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: then it would take about 30 secs to 1 min to start loading a website | 00:45 |
|---|
| soundray | !install > slugone, this page lists various options for installing to USB (private message) | 00:45 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | ianm_: don't think so, in my windows environment everything works great | 00:45 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | burning, reading, etc. | 00:45 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: No way. Everytime I use the dpkg-reconfig I start over at ground zero and I'm tired of that peice of #$%^&*(&^$%#@$%%^&&^ Crap. | 00:45 |
|---|
| asymptonic | MasterShrek: Lilo didn't have one. I tried apt-get installing an old one (from rescue CD), but it doesn't work either | 00:45 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: ok, all 3 partition are there | 00:46 |
|---|
| asymptonic | I get what looks like loading an initrd with no basic files in it | 00:46 |
|---|
| codo | wols_: there is no documentation on step step | 00:46 |
|---|
| asymptonic | depmod: not found, etc | 00:46 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: don't let your frustration spoil your good manners. | 00:46 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | asymptonic: what sorts of problems are you having? and why are you using lilo and not grub? | 00:46 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: no in cfdisk delete the sda3 partition. recreate it with type Linux | 00:46 |
|---|
| codo | i did that bcm driver installation | 00:46 |

|---|
| codo | it throws error saying 404 not found | 00:46 |
|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: sounds like a hardware issue, or a bad cd media/bad burn or a seriously under-powered computer. you may want to try a lighter distro like xubuntu, burn a new cd, or check out the hardware probs with your computer | 00:46 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: use cursor up/down to select partition 3 | 00:46 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: I don't want to read verbal faeces in exchange for the help I give you. | 00:46 |
|---|
| wols_ | then use cursor left,right to move to delete and press enter | 00:46 |
|---|
| asymptonic | The installer installed LILO, not me. | 00:47 |
|---|
| asymptonic | Probably because I have root on LVM w/ XFS | 00:47 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: Sorry man, been working on this for over 3 weeks and the stinking autoconfig generator is the primary problem. It can not handle this monitor. That is why I am maually going through this!!!!! | 00:47 |
|---|
| loucas | any ideas\ | 00:47 |
|---|
| wols_ | after that, create a new one with "New" | 00:47 |
|---|
| aladdinsane | how on earth do i get the uuid of my usb drive? | 00:47 |
|---|
| asymptonic | I tried installing grub, but from chroot, it said /dev/sda had no corresponding BIOS drive | 00:47 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | bazhang: definately not underpowered. i guess there could be some other incompatible hardware. i have problems with both the live cd and the alternate cd (different issues, but still issues) both of which pass the integrity check. | 00:47 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: Not dissing you, just that #$% autoconfig package. | 00:47 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: the dpkg-reconfigure procedure isn't as bad if you know that you can accept the presets for most settings. Part of your problem is that you're mucking around with modelines and stuff. | 00:48 |
|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: what laptop, what chipset? | 00:48 |

|---|
| bazhang | b1n0ry: listen to wols | 00:48 |
|---|
| wols_ | asymptonic: you need to bind mount your proc to inside the chroot | 00:48 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: ok so you want me to change the third partition to linux? | 00:48 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: now that you've definitely found out your monitor's capabilities through ddcprobe, the autoconfig will solve the rest for you. | 00:48 |
|---|
| asymptonic | Let me grab the laptop and type some. Things like "depmod: not found", "uspalash-write" | 00:48 |

|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: NO NO, we add the modeline afterward, manually so I can actaully see a screen. The blinking auto config, leaves me with blank and useless screens also, so it doesn't help anything, just makes it worse. | 00:49 |

| MasterShrek | hmm | 00:50 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: but you have never done the autoconfig knowing the real capabilities of your monitor. | 00:50 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: oops. did you make a swap partition? | 00:50 |
|---|
| b1n0ry | in about 30-60 minutes, i'll let you know how it went... didn't go... | 00:50 |

|---|
| backgen | wols_: hmpf...ok how do i do that? | 00:51 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: if, based on your input, the autoconfig overestimated your monitor capabilities all the time. No wonder it couldn't sync | 00:51 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: first you create a extended partition | 00:51 |
|---|
| soundray | TBotNik_u: now if I get one more crap from you, the conversation is over. | 00:51 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | not really sure asymptonic, im guessing it may have something to do with your root drive not being mounted correctly, either by an incorrect lilo entry, or unavaialbe kernel modules, either by a bad or missing initrd or a missing package for kernel modules | 00:52 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: ok...well how do i do that? when i go into New it just gives me the option between Primary and Logical | 00:52 |
|---|
| wols_ | make one primary that takes leaves 1,1GB of free space | 00:52 |
|---|
| wols_ | that will be your ext3 linux partition | 00:53 |
|---|
| === ChromeTiger_away is now known as ChromeTiger |
| wols_ | then make a 1,1GB logical partition for swap | 00:53 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen, wols_: lunch obtained, I'm back | 00:53 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen, wols_: things going well? | 00:53 |
|---|
| TBotNik_u | soundray: K, your right cause all these other command bomb and the "config" from the "low res" option screen also locks the box. K, can run it with minimum impact, cause got all the files backed up, due to hammering on this so many times. | 00:53 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: we saved the MBR to an external hdd and deleted the fat one and now create / and swap | 00:53 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: should i add the partition at the beginning of the free space or at the end? | 00:54 |
|---|
| aladdinsane | i did a sudo vol_id /dev/sde1 on my usb drive and got: ID_FS_UUID=BABE-BABE is that the drives uuid?? looks strange.. | 00:54 |

| wols_ | end | 00:54 |
|---|
| asymptonic | hmm, guess release QA ain't what it used to be | 00:54 |
|---|
| wols_ | oops. beginngi is better for / I guess | 00:54 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: wonderful - any idea why fdisk wouldn't talk to the disk? | 00:54 |
|---|
| ConstyXIV | anyone using a better UI font than the default? | 00:54 |
|---|
| wols_ | make the ext3 at the beginning | 00:54 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: or did you recreate the aprtition tabel from scratch? | 00:54 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: no. and there is no reason it wouldn't, but I will advocate a smartmontools long test | 00:54 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: no recreation, but I looked at his backup which seems a vlid table | 00:55 |
|---|
| soundray | asymptonic: I don't think release QA is carried out on LVM systems | 00:55 |
|---|
| wols_ | reminds me. I'm a dumbass | 00:55 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: alright so i now have...a primary Linux partition at the beginning of the free space...and 1.1GB of free space...how do i make the swap? | 00:55 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: you need to make both partitions logical ones. only room for 4 partitions | 00:55 |
|---|
| bazhang | wols_: not so, not in any way | 00:55 |
|---|
| asymptonic | sucks for me then, there goes my laptop | 00:55 |

| bazhang | slideshows? rocky | 00:56 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: all partitions you create need to be logical ones | 00:56 |
|---|
| rocky | yeah slideshow and burn them ona cd | 00:57 |
|---|
| wols_ | by making another logical partition this time of type 82 (linux swap) | 00:57 |
|---|
| bazhang | rocky: to play where | 00:57 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: you need to create one big extended partition, and both / and swap exist as logical partitions within this | 00:57 |
|---|

|---|
| fabio | my virtualbox not detect dvd. | 00:58 |

| df00z | Hm, do any automatic deb package creators exist? Like, theoretically, could a program monitor the make process, and check /proc/pid/fd, see what files it needs, and resolve the packages that provide them | 00:58 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: aaah - interesting. I haven't used cfdisk before, I normally use fdisk | 00:58 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: write out the partition table, quit cfdisk and start your install | 00:58 |
|---|
| wols_ | should work now, should being the keyboard | 00:58 |
|---|
| asymptonic | what about this one: (on grub-install /dev/sda) /dev/mapper/slvm-root does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. | 00:58 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: cfdisk is "nicer" | 00:58 |

| Eagleray | wols_: *installs cfdisk to have a play* | 00:59 |
|---|
| LjL | jatt: isn't there an init script, i.e. can you type « sudo invoke-rc.d trackerd stop » (or tracker stop, or similar - i'm on Kubuntu, can't check)? that would be better than killing | 00:59 |
|---|

|---|
| soundray | OldSpice: it's okay, but I suggest you let /home be part of the root partition so your user config ends up in an ext3 system instead of an ntfs | 00:59 |
|---|

| wols_ | but docs should tell you | 01:00 |

|---|
| clever | asymptonic: mount --bind /proc /path/to/chroot/proc | 01:00 |
|---|
| OldSpice | soundray: well just for the user config, do you think i can make a 1gb home for it? although all my documents will be in a ntfs drive? | 01:00 |
|---|
| soundray | OldSpice: btw, you can share ext3 partitions with Windows if you install ext2fsd | 01:00 |

| asymptonic | let me try that | 01:00 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: that looks fine | 01:00 |
|---|
| bazhang | fabio: check virtual box settings--its in there | 01:00 |
|---|
| wols_ | fabio: considering it's a virtualization software you have to configure it somehow. it won't ever access your peripherals directly | 01:00 |
|---|
| aladdinsane | i did a sudo vol_id /dev/sde1 on my usb drive and got: ID_FS_UUID=BABE-BABE is that the drives uuid?? | 01:00 |
|---|
| soundray | OldSpice: sure, a 1GB home will do nicely | 01:00 |
|---|
| asymptonic | nah, no good | 01:00 |
|---|
| wols_ | soundray: use fs-driver.org | 01:00 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_: ok done...now you want me to go and try to install Ubuntu onto the partition? | 01:00 |
|---|
| wols_ | OldSpice: fs-driver.org | 01:01 |
|---|
| fabio | i did the configuration and the passthrug | 01:01 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: yes. and I wish you best of luck :) | 01:01 |
|---|
| soundray | wols_: is that better? | 01:01 |
|---|
| wols_ | soundray: it allows to write | 01:01 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: good luck | 01:01 |

| fabio | my virtualbox not detect dvd HOW TO CHANGE THE DIRECTORY OF CD? | 01:01 |
|---|
| fabio | IN OPTIOS IS NOT POSSIBLE | 01:02 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_:Eagleray: ok thanks guys....so providing this works....what happens to my NTFS Windows partition? | 01:02 |
|---|
| fabio | *OPTIONS | 01:02 |
|---|
| soundray | wols_: ext2fsd lets you write, and it's open source | 01:02 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: nothing happens to it, it stays | 01:02 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: nothing. it stays there. you get an etry in your grub to boot windows, that's all | 01:02 |
|---|
| bazhang | fabio: we answered that--check the settings in virtual box or go to #vbox | 01:02 |
|---|
| wols_ | backgen: if you insist you can mount it with ntfs-3g | 01:02 |
|---|
| wols_ | soundray: wasn't last I checked. good to know | 01:02 |
|---|
| OldSpice | soundray: wols: thanks you guys! well I'm still a windows person and i want to keep the majority of my system still windows. if i do decide to make a change i'll be sure to have more ext3 than nfts :] | 01:03 |

| billybobo | after an update this morning my usplash stopped working at boot, any way to fix this? | 01:03 |
|---|
| TBotNik | soundray: Well I tried the blinking dpkg-reconfig and sure enough I'm completely blown and the stupid package even overwrote my .failsafe and backup file, so now my monitor give me this lovely "No Signal" message. Well have to do this another day. no time now. Will try again tomorrow. | 01:04 |
|---|
| Eagleray | I am having problems with hotplugging USB devices. It works fine on a standard debian kernel, but not on my custom one. I *think* I have everything pertinent enabled, but obviously I am missing something. Any ideas? | 01:04 |
|---|
| backgen | wols_:Eagleray: ok this is confusing | 01:04 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | soundray, do you know if there is a command to "refresh" a proccess and services etc | 01:05 |
|---|
| bobesponja | hi | 01:05 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: your NTFS partition should be left alone completely. Once ubuntu is installed, you should have a GRUB menu entry saying 'Windows' | 01:05 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: #debian :P | 01:05 |
|---|
| bobesponja | anyone managed to make the mac remote work on ubuntu? | 01:05 |
|---|
| Xbehave | my laptop sound only works with extenal speakers, any ideas how i go about fixing this? | 01:05 |
|---|
| soundray | lovedeatm: you mean reload the config files? | 01:05 |
|---|
| billybobo | after an update this morning my usplash stopped working at boot, any way to fix this? | 01:06 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | yeah for the most part | 01:06 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: How depressing.... what if I lied and said I was running feisty? | 01:06 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | yeah for the most part soundray | 01:06 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: then sooner or later we'd find out and flame you. always observing !Langauge in here of course :P | 01:06 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: choose this entry to boot windows from your NTFS partition | 01:06 |
|---|
| theLOCUST | hehello, i was wondering if there was a macbook hello | 01:07 |
|---|
| soundray | lovedeatm: some daemons can be made to do this with 'sudo invoke-rc.d daemonname reload' | 01:07 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: ah well, then I guess I'd better go join #debian as well and ask there | 01:07 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: happens the same in #debian with ubuntu users, just more often and with swear and flame them a lot more | 01:07 |
|---|
| theLOCUST | hello i was wondering if there was a maccbook channel? | 01:07 |
|---|
| soundray | lovedeatm: if not, 'restart' always works | 01:07 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: to be honest, better chance of an answer too | 01:07 |
|---|
| bazhang | theLOCUST: for dual booting? | 01:07 |
|---|
| wols_ | theLOCUST: #apple. unless it's about question of ubuntu on a macbook | 01:07 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: Oh? Interesting.... I figured I'd have a better chance here 'cause of the higher traffic | 01:08 |
|---|
| theLOCUST | bazhang: no, just in general.. i'm having battery problems | 01:08 |
|---|
| theLOCUST | i have gutsy installed on my macbook | 01:08 |
|---|
| bazhang | ##apple theLOCUST | 01:08 |
|---|
| Eagleray | wols_: and didn't think it would be an issue noting that they are very, very similar systems | 01:08 |
|---|
| wols_ | Eagleray: how many ubuntu people do you know who compile their own kernels? and 700 poeple or 1200 doesn't make much difference | 01:08 |

| backgen | Eagleray: ok well in my install thing, it gives me 3 options: Guided: resize SCSI1 (0,0,0) partition #2 (sda) and use freed space (and then i have a little slider thing, with 91% 63.3GB and that's roughly 91% of the NTFS partition with windows on it) and then the second option is: Guided: Use Entire Disk...and then Manual | 01:08 |

| Eagleray | wols_: and he's a former gentoo user | 01:08 |

| wols_ | u_angel: best reaneme. if it doesn't fix it you still have your mozilla settings | 01:11 |

| backgen | Eagleray: ok so heres my list of devices: /dev/sda (nothing beside it), /dev/sda1 fat 16 (my Dell utilities), /dev/sda2 NTFS (my missing Windows), /dev/sda 5 (no format though the size indicated that this is the linux one i just made) and finally /dev/sda6 (no format though the size indicates it's the swap i just made)...now when i select the /dev/sda5 and click Next...it says theres no root file | 01:12 |
|---|
| ronnie_ | backgen: how about your swap volume@@? | 01:13 |
|---|
| u_angel | same thing happening with firefox | 01:13 |
|---|
| backgen | ronnie_: swap volume is 1.1GB | 01:13 |
|---|
| soundray | backgen: you need to declare a mount point for /dev/sda5 and call it "/" (just the slash equals root) | 01:13 |
|---|
| ronnie_ | ....... | 01:13 |
|---|
| u_angel | what is "/bin/sh /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin" ? | 01:13 |

| sander__ | i need help with vmware-player, the bridge conection don't works here... | 01:19 |
|---|
| u_angel | so is it normal to have 2 Firefox-bin running? | 01:19 |
|---|
| Javid | Let's all use bot macros instead of answering the dude's question. That's awesome. | 01:19 |
|---|
| soundray | puff: if your hardware supports it, try twinview first. | 01:19 |
|---|
| bazhang | Javid: heh | 01:20 |
|---|
| sander__ | somebody can help-me with vmware-player? | 01:20 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: which partition is giving that error? | 01:20 |
|---|
| Javid | Well, you tried, but nobody else did | 01:20 |
|---|
| backgen | eagleray: sda5 | 01:20 |
|---|
| kbrosnan | u_angel: yes | 01:21 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: what filesystem is that formatted as? | 01:21 |
|---|
| sander__ | who is the name of a interface bridged in linux? this appear in ifconfig ? | 01:21 |
|---|
| puff | soundray: Thanks, yeah, it's an nvidia card. | 01:21 |
|---|
| sander__ | who is the name of a interface bridged(vmware) in linux? this appear in ifconfig ? | 01:21 |
|---|
| kbrosnan | u_angel: firefox is a script which launches firefox-bin | 01:21 |
|---|
| backgen | well i did it wos_ and we just formatted it as linux | 01:21 |
|---|
| soundray | Javid: if he's not responding to one sensible question, why bother? | 01:21 |
|---|
| backgen | Eagleray: and in the installer i made it to ext3 with / like you told me | 01:22 |
|---|
| sander__ | some here uses vmware in linux??? | 01:22 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | my flash drive won't mount any ideas? it was at one point i don't know why it won't now | 01:22 |
|---|
| bazhang | sander__: some do, though more probably use...virtualbox | 01:22 |
|---|
| Javid | I use vmware | 01:22 |
|---|
| soundray | lovedeatm: see if the settings are correct in System-Preferences-Removable drives | 01:23 |
|---|
| sander__ | Javid: hi.. what is your connection type in the vmware? bridged ??? | 01:23 |
|---|
| Javid | yep | 01:23 |
|---|
| Javid | and it works | 01:23 |
|---|
| sander__ | bazhang: hi.. what is your connection type in the vmware? bridged ??? | 01:23 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: then as long as you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that you are in fact installing on the ext3 partition, I'd say ignore the warning and continue | 01:24 |
|---|
| hdevalence | what does "cannot stat destination "/media/sda2/backup": Input/output error (5)" mean? | 01:24 |
|---|
| backgen | Eagleray: alright lets give this a shot | 01:24 |
|---|
| bazhang | sander__: I used vmware-server; don't know if that is the same as player, but yeah bridged | 01:24 |
|---|
| sander__ | bazhang: what is the version of your kernel? | 01:24 |
|---|
| bazhang | sander__: is the other option NAT? It's been awhile since I used it (since it is no longer free) | 01:25 |
|---|
| backgen | Eagleray: and here we go! | 01:25 |
|---|
| sander__ | bazhang: i need use the bridge mode to test my samba in this pc, but i cant ping in the host os | 01:25 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: excellent :D | 01:25 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: let me know how you get on | 01:26 |
|---|
| backgen | Eagleray: haha you know for a while now i've been thinking that if this doesn't work then screw it all, i'll just make this entire Computer linux | 01:26 |

| soundray | hdevalence: sounds like a bad medium. Can you give some more context? | 01:26 |
|---|
| sander__ | bazhang: in the bridged mode you know if appears some of the interface of vmware there? (with ifconfig command) do you know??? | 01:26 |

|---|
| luis | I know this place is for ubuntu related stuff but was hoping if anyone knew the solution to this problem | 01:27 |
|---|
| backgen | soundray: :) | 01:27 |
|---|
| luis | someone sent me a message with an attachment that seems incomplete | 01:27 |
|---|
| bazhang | sander__: again, this was in server, so not that much in the know about player (never used player), but could get an ip address assigned for the vm | 01:27 |
|---|
| luis | and along with 8 other messages all with what looks to be code for an image, how in the world does that happen? O_o | 01:27 |
|---|
| cabroni_ | how I create ubuntu screensavers?? | 01:27 |
|---|
| backgen | Whatever happened to Jack? | 01:28 |
|---|
| bazhang | luis: an attachment? treat as suspect | 01:28 |
|---|
| luis | anyone know how to convert jpgs to code? if that's possible | 01:28 |
|---|
| sander__ | bazhang: yes, i understand.. but server and player can use bridged connections | 01:28 |
|---|
| luis | well, I know the person, that's why. | 01:28 |
|---|
| saltire | I installed ubuntu and now I can't get into ubuntu or vista | 01:28 |
|---|
| soundray | cabroni_: have a look at the author's web page, perhaps starting with the FAQ: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html | 01:28 |
|---|
| sander__ | bazhang: i only want to know, if this show some info about the vmware interface in the ifconfig output | 01:29 |
|---|
| bazhang | saltire: which installed first? | 01:29 |
|---|
| mneptok | saltire: the folks in ##windows know how to restore a Microsoft MBR | 01:29 |
|---|
| saltire | vista | 01:29 |
|---|
| iasymptonc | Finally found that the initrds being built were incorrect for some reason (not sure why still). Copying from another machine got me booting. Now a second question. How do I switch to a properly debianized grub configuration? Is there a package I'm missing? | 01:29 |
|---|
| Eagleray | backgen: the grub think takes exactly zero seconds, and no idea where Jack went | 01:29 |
|---|
| cabroni_ | thanks | 01:29 |
|---|
| luis | bazhang, I think the person just f'd up in sending the attachment, I know the person and they used MIME coding, which makes me go "wtf?" | 01:29 |
|---|
| mneptok | luis: MIME encoding is exactly the correct thing to use in e-mail | 01:30 |
|---|
| backgen | Eagleray: fantastic! cuz i have an exam tomorrow and i havn't studied for it at all since i've been fiddling around with Ubuntu for the past few days | 01:30 |
|---|
| bazhang | luis: ah mime--that would need to be decompressed to get a photo | 01:30 |
|---|
| soundray | saltire: it's probably better to try and complete the Ubuntu bootloader installation. Follow the "RecoveringUbuntu..." link: | 01:30 |

|---|
| luis | so, is there anyway to retrieve the photo from all this code? | 01:30 |
|---|
| luis | like maybe save the code as a jpg, if that's possible. | 01:31 |
|---|
| mneptok | luis: i wouldn't | 01:31 |
|---|
| mneptok | luis: tell them to put it on the web somewhere | 01:31 |
|---|
| sander__ | somebody here that use vmware got to work a bridged connection in 2.6 kernels ? | 01:31 |
|---|
| mneptok | luis: decoding and executing random, broken e-mail attachments is pretty risky. | 01:31 |
|---|

| humblerodent | cleaton: -R is just for recursive deletion, like tree deletion with directory contents | 01:43 |

|---|
| wesw02 | no, I'm connect to my desktop via ssh, through my ssh terminal I want to launch a gui app on my desktop | 02:07 |
|---|
| clever | modprobe doesnt need a path or the .ko | 02:07 |
|---|
| yigal | jjf: the preferences are set, by default, to be reasonably "good", but altering them you end up with what you want - does that answer the question? | 02:07 |

| Eagleray | correct, if you are inserting modules from /lib/modules/<kernel>/ then modprobe is easier | 02:07 |
|---|
| clever | modprobe will also load other modules it may need | 02:07 |
|---|
| rafaelsoaresbr | clever,Eagleray, thanks, | 02:07 |

| Eagleray | rafaelsoaresbr: for modprobe you don't give the path, just the module name | 02:07 |

| wesw02 | I want to launch a gui app in the x session running on the desktop | 02:08 |
|---|
| Pelo | wesw02, try issuing the command with export DISPLAY=:0 && command ... | 02:08 |
|---|
| thor | wesw02 you want it to appear on the desktop monitor? | 02:08 |
|---|
| jjf | yigal, I'l still confused. But, that's ok. You've pointed me in the right direction, so I'll play around with it. Thanks again | 02:08 |
|---|
| wesw02 | thor, yes | 02:08 |
|---|
| thor | wesw02 then you can't do it via ssh...you need a desktop sharing package | 02:08 |
|---|
| clever | Pelo: 'DISPLAY=:0.0 cmd' also works and wont affect further commands | 02:08 |
|---|
| thor | wesw02 I think nxclient and server will do that...and vnc if I remember correctly | 02:09 |
|---|
| wesw02 | thor, this worked: export DISPLAY=:0 && firefox | 02:09 |
|---|
| thor | wesw02 hmmm...ok....never tried anything like that. I always wanted the app to show up on my laptop | 02:09 |

| franky_the_pierr | thx robdig, i did that too and got where you got... except brand new drive and all works perfecto with it... only get this when trying to stop xserver. Iĺl keep googleing i guess! | 02:50 |
|---|
| shamas | jack, thanks it worked.... | 02:50 |
|---|
| Ose | bazhang: Oh really? Didn't know they had that feature. I'm loading them into Amarok right now.. I'll try that first. It found a lot more songs than I remember having :\ still loading. | 02:50 |

| DraconPern | Is ubuntu LSB compliant? | 02:50 |
|---|
| franky_the_pierr | nickrud: i tried 2 ways: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and sudo init 1 same resuly | 02:51 |
|---|
| nickrud | poeloq, there's really no reason to run xserver-xgl except for compiz as best I know | 02:51 |
|---|
| franky_the_pierr | result | 02:51 |
|---|
| ASTX813 | Is it possible to 'transfer' a running process from one X server/session to another? I did ssh -Y to another box and started an app, and I'd like to transfer it to my login that's running at the console now that I'm done with it (I don't wan't it to stop when I disconnect) | 02:51 |
|---|
| nickrud | franky_the_pierr, and X doesn't stop ? | 02:51 |
|---|
| bazhang | Ose: I believe they query the freedb for the info; right click or in the menus should set you right--I had nearly the same thing happen | 02:51 |
|---|
| poeloq | nickrud: how do I revert back to a basic one then? | 02:51 |
|---|
| nickrud | poeloq, sudo aptitude remove xserver-xgl | 02:52 |
|---|
| bazhang | ASTX813: like screen? | 02:52 |
|---|
| nickrud | poeloq, or do it with synaptic | 02:52 |
|---|
| franky_the_pierr | nickrud, it sort of stops, but i dont get a terminal window, i get the endless loop of error messages. | 02:52 |
|---|
| tofaffy | I installed kubuntu-desktop and then unuinstalled everything, how com when I boot up when it says "ubuntu" and has the orange bar going across below it...it still says kubuntu and the bar is bluiE? | 02:52 |
|---|
| bazhang | tofaffy: you have to change the usplash as well iirc | 02:52 |
|---|
| ASTX813 | bazhang, yeah, i guess like that. But with a process running in an X session. | 02:52 |
|---|
| nickrud | franky_the_pierr, do you see those errors cycling when you just ctl-alt-f1 while in X (clt-alt-f7 will get you back to X) | 02:53 |
|---|
| tofaffy | bazhang, how do I change the usplash and iirc? | 02:53 |
|---|
| bazhang | ASTX813: which app? if it's WoW, then likely not :} | 02:53 |
|---|
| franky_the_pierr | nickrud, lemme try that... 1 sec... | 02:53 |
|---|
| === M3M3_C4ObY is now known as juliette |
| bazhang | tofaffy: sorry iirc=if I recall correctly and check out !usplash command for more info there | 02:54 |
|---|
| franky_the_pierr | nickrud: yes, i get the same result with ctrl+alt+f1 | 02:54 |
|---|
| tofaffy | !usplash | 02:54 |
|---|
| ubotu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 02:54 |
|---|
| nickrud | franky_the_pierr, so it's nothing to do with starting X, you definitely have some kind of hardware problem | 02:54 |
|---|
| ASTX813 | bazhang, azureus | 02:54 |
|---|
| nickrud | *stopping X | 02:54 |
|---|
| bazhang | ASTX813: what about rtorrent? that is cli only and can do it for sure--azureus no idea | 02:55 |
|---|
| franky_the_pierr | nickrud: ok... not sure what it could be, itś always running fine, except for this. | 02:55 |
|---|
| franky_the_pierr | nickrud: what does ctrl+alt+f1 does? | 02:56 |
|---|
| nickrud | franky_the_pierr, what you did when you hit ctl-alt-f1 is you switched to the console, and errors that are high enough get echoed to the console so the operators see them immediately | 02:56 |
|---|
| ASTX813 | bazhang, if I had thought ahead, maybe. now i'm just trying to work with what I've got. | 02:56 |

| brophat | my 80 gig HD shows up as 74.6 gigs and my 120 gig HD shows up as 109.1 gigs. Does that seem kind of small? | 02:56 |

|---|
| nownot | ok my server is going slow ass balls and i did nothing. somebody have some test or something i can run to see what the problem is | 02:56 |

| nickrud | meeks, for the ubuntu provided one, run restricted-manager , enable ati restricted. then sudo modeprobe fglrx , log out and back in. fglrxinfo to make sure you are using the ati driver , then sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager emerald , log back out and in | 03:06 |

| Fezzler | I'm thinking Samba needs root or sudo? | 03:12 |

| Geekomancer1 | erm... http://mozilla.pastebin.com/m56467523 that's my xorg... I missed a slash... <.< | 03:12 |

| jerbul | crush samba allows linux to communicate with ms machines over a network. wine emulates ms programs | 03:12 |

| crush_groove | winkman, I understand they are both windows access procs from *nix .. I was looking for a more technical answer | 03:12 |
|---|
| crush_groove | ty jerbul | 03:13 |

| theLichKing | how can i fix this? | 03:14 |

| Fezzler | is there a valid command sudo apt-get update samba? | 03:14 |
|---|
| jerbul | crush samba tends to deal with protocols and interpreting between the os's | 03:14 |

| crush_groove | so samba is more integrative .. | 03:14 |
|---|
| jerbul | crush yea | 03:14 |

| winkman | crush_groove: Samba cannot run programs, it only transfers files (i believe) | 03:15 |

|---|
| jerbul | 11th | 03:34 |
|---|
| soldats | you can use wine to run winblows programs | 03:34 |
|---|
| corruptionoflulz | Eagleray: kazaa is not used strictly for piracy, it's a piece of software, just like torrents aren't just for piracy | 03:34 |
|---|
| Eagleray | hamadooo: fret = worry, be concerned etc | 03:34 |
|---|
| hamadooo | corruptionoflulz that's right | 03:34 |
|---|
| soldats | lol | 03:34 |
|---|
| hamadooo | ok | 03:34 |
|---|
| soldats | hamadooo, #winehq | 03:34 |
|---|
| soldats | go to it | 03:34 |
|---|
| hamadooo | ok | 03:35 |
|---|
| hamadooo | for what his channel | 03:35 |
|---|
| Eagleray | corruptionoflulz: true, but only up to a point. Telol me the last time you saw kazaa used for anything legal, as opposed to torrents which have tons of opensource tracklers | 03:35 |
|---|
| kanuha | need help, installed gnome splash manager and it works, but the color of the screen comes up with the default brown/orange. How do I change colors? | 03:35 |
|---|
| Eagleray | hamadooo: what do you actually want to do with ares/kazaa etc? | 03:35 |
|---|
| hamadooo | downloading music and programs | 03:35 |
|---|
| Brennydoogles | Need help with video editing, if interested please join #help-brenny | 03:35 |
|---|
| hamadooo | fun clubs | 03:35 |
|---|
| corruptionoflulz | Eagleray: it's still just a piece of software, no point in discriminating against it, also, what if he felt like dl'ing songs he already owns just because it's easier?, anyways, let's just leave it at that since this isn't ubuntu-offtopic | 03:35 |
|---|
| hamadooo | clips | 03:35 |
|---|
| soldats | hamadooo, its not very useful for linux programs | 03:36 |
|---|
| Hammy_ | Hey im trying to get my sources list. i am trying to edit it to install beryl, currently when i enter the [sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list] command it doesnt let me edit it...does anyone know what im doing wronge? | 03:36 |
|---|
| hamadooo | what's that soldats | 03:36 |
|---|
| Eagleray | corruptionoflulz: fair point, although I thought that was also illegal... | 03:36 |
|---|
| sunogbaga | kanuha: system->administration->login window? | 03:36 |
|---|
| teddy233 | i'm back | 03:37 |
|---|
| soldats | hamadooo, what iu mean is that you can run kazaa in wine on ubuntu or any other win program | 03:37 |
|---|
| hamadooo | i though ubuntu is a free source and you telling me now i can't use some programs .... in windows i can use them | 03:37 |
|---|
| Brennydoogles | Hammy_: replace vi with gedit if you are on normal ubuntu | 03:37 |
|---|
| nickrud | Hammy_, try using nano instead of vi | 03:37 |
|---|
| Hammy_ | can anyone help me with my problem? | 03:37 |
|---|
| jerbul | hahahaha | 03:37 |
|---|
| techqbert | is there any linux app for downloading .flv files to disk? I need one that can download .flv and the stream from nbc10.com | 03:37 |
|---|
| Hammy_ | okay thanks...wait which to use gedit or nano? | 03:37 |
|---|
| mikebot | How can I extract from a DVD just an avi that is like 600 MB? | 03:37 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | Hammy_: are you using 7.10? | 03:37 |
|---|
| hamadooo | soldats is there any similar program in ubuntu like kaza | 03:37 |
|---|
| nickrud | Brennydoogles, if you recommend gedit for editing system files (perfectly ok) be sure to mention they should use gksudo | 03:37 |
|---|
| Hammy_ | yea | 03:37 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | mikebot: use dvdrip | 03:38 |
|---|
| ademan | anyone know what the "best" way to reliably transfer files between a windows and linux machine would be? i'd love to use rsync but I can't find a source for a win32 rsync that i trust, although i could give a couple a try i suppose | 03:38 |
|---|
| Brennydoogles | nickrud: That is true, thanks | 03:38 |
|---|
| soldats | hamadooo, i dont believe so | 03:38 |
|---|
| corruptionoflulz | Eagleray: check PM | 03:38 |
|---|
| Hammy_ | hamadooo: i heard you can run Limewire on Linux | 03:38 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | Hammy_: beryl is old now, its compiz fusion now and it is installed by default | 03:38 |
|---|
| teddy233 | anyone know how to setup dhcp3 to give out range of ips based on where the request came from? | 03:38 |
|---|
| kanuha | sunogbaga, tried it, doesn't seem to effect the gnome splash background | 03:38 |
|---|
| jerbul | hamadooo u can download limewire, frostwire, gtk gnutella. all will work in linux. | 03:38 |
|---|
| hamadooo | reading all the time that linux and ubuntu is a open source .... and now you telling me that i can't download a program cuz it's illegal | 03:38 |
|---|
| Eagleray | corruptionoflulz: are you a registered user? I haven't received any PMs from you... | 03:38 |
|---|
| Hammy_ | kanuha: i know...does it matter? | 03:38 |
|---|
| corruptionoflulz | ademan: on a home network? i use samba | 03:38 |
|---|
| nickrud | hamadooo, open source <> illegal | 03:38 |
|---|
| mikebot | I can't do it with k9copy or k3b? | 03:38 |
|---|
| zach382 | RomeReactor: thanks that worked. | 03:38 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | mikebot: i dont think so | 03:39 |
|---|
| ademan | corruptionoflulz: normally I would, but samba has corrupted files before for me, so i don't trust it much :-/ | 03:39 |
|---|
| robdig | !equivalents | hamadooo | 03:39 |
|---|
| ubotu | hamadooo: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant | 03:39 |
|---|
| corruptionoflulz | Eagleray: yeah, i am a registered user | 03:39 |
|---|
| hamadooo | jerbul .. with these programs can i do what i do with kazza and ares | 03:39 |
|---|
| mikebot | MasterShrek: OK, thanks. | 03:39 |
|---|
| corruptionoflulz | ademan: then i suppose the easiest and safest would probably be FTP | 03:39 |
|---|
| mikebot | MasterShrek: DVDrip? | 03:39 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | mikebot: yes, i dont know if its in the repos or not | 03:39 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | !info dvdrip | 03:39 |
|---|

|---|
| Brennydoogles | if anyone would like to help me with a video editing issue, please join #help-brenny | 03:39 |
|---|
| jerbul | hamadooo yes, they use the same network as kazaa they just have different interfaces | 03:39 |
|---|
| kanuha | Hammy_, well I want the background color during the gnome splash screen to be black, right now it is the default brown/orange | 03:40 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | yep, in multiverse mikebot you need to enable extra repositories, system > admin > software sources | 03:40 |
|---|
| Hammy_ | Brennydoogles:Thanks, it worked | 03:40 |
|---|
| sunogbaga | hamadooo: if you consider java based apps.. azureus for torrents | 03:40 |
|---|
| hamadooo | jerbul ok where can i find them | 03:40 |
|---|
| Brennydoogles | np Hammy_ | 03:40 |
|---|
| nickrud | hamadooo, in fact, free software advocates are usually the last to use pirated software, they want the free licenses to be respected as well | 03:40 |
|---|
| Hammy_ | nickrud:Thanks also nick | 03:40 |
|---|
| Eagleray | corruptionoflulz: looks like PMs aren't working for whatever reason, join #pmcoreag | 03:40 |
|---|
| brophat | Is there a way to control the size of windows and fonts without turning up the resolution? | 03:40 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | Eagleray: both users need to be registered to pm on freenode | 03:40 |
|---|
| hamadooo | nickrud but if windows users can use them why we can't | 03:40 |
|---|
| Vad2 | How can I kill a process called "gdb"? It's been hogging my laptop for the last half hour, and I cant get rid of it. Each time I try to use "kill" on it, it changes it's ID. It is extermely aggravating. | 03:41 |
|---|
| hamadooo | sunogbaga i didn't mean torrent clients .. thanx | 03:41 |
|---|
| Eagleray | MasterShrek: we are both registered | 03:41 |
|---|
| godzirra | Sigh... New freaking kernel just put out just broke my sound again. Anyone have a snd-hda-intel howto? | 03:41 |
|---|
| nickrud | hamadooo, you're missing the point: there's frostwire and gtk-gnutella which use the same network as kazaa , it's up to you to respect licenses | 03:41 |
|---|
| jerbul | gdb is a source level debugger | 03:41 |
|---|

| Dingda | Anyone know of an editor that'll recognize mIRC's INI-files? They're _not_ pure plaintext (each line has to begin with a "n=linenumber" string), so editing them with a normal editor is very, very tedious. | 04:13 |

|---|
| nickrud | Hammy, if vista has been booting all this time, it's a real simple fix, relax. type sudo fdisk -l in a terminal , then go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and copy and paste it there. Then tell me the link. | 04:19 |
|---|
| bazhang | daedric: the x server? or the internet connection or what? | 04:19 |
