| 00:28 | MacTheMad | slart: didn't work however I just ran ifconfig only forgot to type eth0 after and below the entry for eth0 theres another entry for lo... could that be the problem? |
| 00:28 | musikgoat | ok LycoLoco when you installed the first time, did you follow the general instructions? |
| 00:28 | Zaerath | wols: That only displays lo, and ifconfig eth0 tells me the device cannot be found. |

| 00:29 | wols | spartacus: downgrades are not supported. why'd you want to do that? |
| 00:29 | Zaerath | wols: Some OnBoard crap, I'm unsure, this is just my server computer and the NIC worked before I did a dist upgrade (btw I'm running a 2.4 kernel). |
| 00:30 | wols | Zaerath: what version of ubuntu is this? |
| 00:30 | Spzatt | Slart any answer yet? |
| 00:30 | Slart | Spzatt: some people report success after disabling dma |
| 00:30 | Zaerath | wols: Debian, but the same arch, and Debain's support sucks. |

| 00:33 | ubotu | theLichKing: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. |

| 00:52 | spartacus | Slart: yup, and 7.11 supported 1680x1050! damn |
| 00:52 | Fezzler | How would I use "apt-get update" for Samba to update the program files. Update Manager isn't working. |
| 00:52 | Slart | yubwyub: I think ubuntu (canonical) decides what goes in there.. |
| 00:52 | yubwyub | aha. ok thanks |
| 00:52 | shigutso | When I hit Ctrl+C in GIMP, the New File option is not showing the size of the Copyed space anymore, WHY? Is this a bug from 7.10?? |
| 00:52 | askand | spartacus it wasnt a long time between 7.11 and 7.12...maybe we get another soon? |
| 00:53 | Fezzler | I asked in #Samba but they called me a clueless Ubuntu user and told me to get lost. :) |
| 00:53 | Slart | spartacus: I thought the ati drivers were improving? |
| 00:53 | Jerr | so I have dual monitors working with the nvidia driver |
| 00:53 | Joe_ | okay is it difficult to get it working as ive tried fedora core and debian etch and neither worked |
| 00:53 | Jerr | but, I can't get compiz working |
| 00:53 | nickrud | Jerr, what video chip? |
| 00:53 | finchx6 | Joe: I did a quick google search and there are several forums saying they're having trouble with them |
| 00:53 | musikgoat | Joe_: i'm not speaking from experience, sorry |

| 00:53 | spartacus | askand: not long... http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=735&num=4 |
| 00:54 | spartacus | Slart, the packaging and integration has been. |
| 00:54 | Spzatt | Slart : didnt work |
| 00:54 | nickrud | oh, nvidia, don't use that. But, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , then restricted-manager and installing the nvidia driver should do it |
| 00:54 | Joe_ | ah okay, i realise there a pain to get working its just im a bit new to linux and cant get them working at all ive tried every tutorial out there and none seem to work |
| 00:54 | MacTheMad | slart: buddy stopped by & has him stumped too (only knows windows tho) and he's saying something about if all the cables on my network are type a and the one on this machine is type b... but again when I just booted same machine to windows I get a connection... same settings? I'm quite stumped & frustrated |
| 00:54 | warriorforgod | I need to get vnc access to my machine through a web browser. Anybody know how to do this in 64 bit ubuntu? |
| 00:55 | spartacus | Slart, They even support building Ubuntu debs from the installer |
| 00:55 | Slart | Spzatt: same error? |
| 00:55 | Myrmidon | where are the programs saved at by default in xubuntu? |
| 00:55 | finchx6 | Joe: I'm in the same boat with my laptops sound card... lol |
| 00:55 | Myrmidon | cuz i want to put some shortcuts in the taskbar |
| 00:55 | musikgoat | Joe_: it seems it would be easier to just cough up the $30 or so for a decent atheros or ralink card |
| 00:55 | Jerr | nickrud: I'm using nvidia driver already |
| 00:55 | Urim | wols: windows is giving error 29: Disk write error just right after i choose winxp in the OS menu choice... it doesn't reach a status bar or something.. just gives this and press any key to continue |
| 00:56 | nickrud | Jerr, does glxinfo | grep direct say yes? |
| 00:56 | Spzatt | yes |
| 00:56 | Slart | MacTheMad: yes.. we've checked the firewall.. we've checked the route table..we've checked ip-nbr etc.. I don't know what else to look at |
| 00:56 | Jerr | nickrud: yes |
| 00:56 | spartacus | warriorforgod, you'll probably need a host with a java vnc client applet, or something |
| 00:56 | Joe_ | yeah i dont really have the money though, i bought a cheap etec wireless usb adapter for my desktop but that didnt work either, i couldnt even find out what chipset was in that |
| 00:57 | Slart | spartacus: ah.. sounds like it will be good once they get things together |
| 00:57 | shigutso | When I hit Ctrl+C in GIMP, the New File option is not showing the size of the Copyed space anymore, WHY? Is this a bug from 7.10?? |
| 00:57 | nickrud | Jerr, then system->prefs->appearance , last tab, you selected some effects? |
| 00:57 | musikgoat | Joe_: i understand that |
| 00:57 | Jerr | nickrud: yes and it couldnt do it |
| 00:57 | spartacus | warriorforgod, and of course, running vnc-server on your system |
| 00:57 | MacTheMad | slart: yeah, thanks... gonna call it a night & start again tomorrow... have a good one |
| 00:57 | Slart | Spzatt: well.. if that didn't work then I don't know what else to try.. try asking the channel again.. mention the exact error message |
| 00:57 | Slart | MacTheMad: you too.. good night |
| 00:57 | nickrud | Jerr, try typing compiz --replace in a terminal |
| 00:57 | Myrmidon | where are programs saved at by default? |
| 00:58 | preaction | Myrmidon, the executables are saved in /usr/bin, why? |
| 00:58 | nickrud | Myrmidon, in /etc/ , /usr/bin , /usr/share , a few others. dpkg -L <packagename> will spit out all files & locations |
| 00:58 | Myrmidon | because i want to put some shortcuts in the taskbar |
| 00:58 | Jerr | nickrud: segfault |
| 00:58 | warriorforgod | spartacus: I am running vncserver and have a session running on display :1. I also have port 5801 and 5901 forwarded to the machine on my router. When I browse to the machine through a web broser I get page cannot be displayed. |

| 01:07 | boobsbr | how do i get into recovery mode? the grub menu? |
| 01:07 | Mawbid | I have an X keyboard problem on Gutsy. With pc105 model and US layout, the key I expect to yield backslash or bar (keycode 51, left of enter, middle row) instead yields plus or asterisk (as it does with Icelandic layout, which I also use). |
| 01:07 | musikgoat | Benalex: nmap |
| 01:07 | CarlFK | what is the command to sync the date from a date server ? |
| 01:07 | LjL | Benalex: for IP in list-of-IPs ; do ping $IP ; done |
| 01:08 | LjL | !ntp > CarlFK (CarlFK, see the private message from Ubotu) |
| 01:08 | Jack_Sparrow | boobsbr: yes if you can get to grub menu.. recovery mode... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg set card to vesa.. max res to 1024 to get back into gui |

| 01:09 | tiagoboldt | need _HELP_: I've got a Toshiba L40 not showing my wlan device. It's internally usb connected(appears in lsusb), I've tried the normal ndiswrapper approaches but it's not working :\\ |
| 01:09 | musikgoat | Benalex: nmap -v -sP 192.168.0.0/16 is an example |
| 01:10 | Jack_Sparrow | Urim: it will overwrite your grub menu and not let you into ubuntu |
| 01:10 | Jack_Sparrow | !grub > Urim |
| 01:10 | finchx6 | tiago: it sees the card but isn't working??? Are you connecting to a secure network?? like with WEP for example? |
| 01:10 | Benalex | musikgoat: what 192.168.0.0/16 will scan? |
| 01:11 | musikgoat | 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.255 i believe |

| 01:12 | Benalex | I am trying to ping all pcs on my home network... 192.168.1.* |
| 01:12 | tretle | iv dont the dist upgrade |
| 01:12 | musikgoat | nmap -v -sP 192.168.1.0/24 then |
| 01:12 | Jack_Sparrow | tretle: that would be #Ubuntu+1 |
| 01:12 | Urim | Jack_Sparrow: i installed winxp first from toshiba recovery disk.. then installed ubuntu 7.10... but i am not able to boot back to winxp getting error 29: disk write error... is that cuz the toshiba-ms disk is a recovery disk not installer |

| 01:15 | maybeway36 | hmm... |
| 01:16 | sainzeo | shane2peru: like a group/conference chat? |
| 01:16 | maybeway36 | finchx6: try enabling backports |
| 01:16 | musikgoat | shane2peru: i don't think you can cross clients in a chat |
| 01:16 | maybeway36 | not sure if it's there or not |
| 01:16 | Torchwood | shane2peru: just double click on their names. a seperate tab will open for each one |
| 01:16 | shane2peru | sainzeo: yes |
| 01:16 | finchx6 | I've found several forums that walk you through how to get this sound card working, but I can't get them to work for me. I'm a bit a noob, unfortunately |
| 01:16 | Jack_Sparrow | Torchwood: great show.. but why did you post the link? |
| 01:17 | Torchwood | Jack_Sparrow: cos 9.0.115 is broken and they've stopped supplying (the working) 9.0.48 |
| 01:17 | shane2peru | Torchwood: is there any way to have them all in the same tab? |
| 01:17 | shane2peru | Torchwood: kind of like here? |
| 01:17 | Torchwood | shane2peru: don't think so. don't know. maybe one of the plugins |
| 01:18 | musikgoat | shane2peru: have you tried the join chat option in buddies list? |
| 01:18 | Jack_Sparrow | Torchwood: The problem is.. that still does not work for people using opera and others.. just firefox.. and when the fix comes down.. doing that could cause them real problems |

| 01:18 | shane2peru | musikgoat: ahh, I overlooked that |
| 01:19 | Jack_Sparrow | lastelement1: we tend to use k9copy to rip dvd's... You might try in #winehq |
| 01:19 | lastelement1 | jack_sparrow does k9copy work in the same/similar manner? |
| 01:20 | Jack_Sparrow | lastelement1: yes rip down sized to single layer etc.. |
| 01:21 | shane__ | musikgoat, I don't think that worked. |
| 01:21 | lastelement1 | jack_sparrow does it also burn the disk following the rip or do i need other software? |
| 01:21 | Torchwood | Jack_Sparrow: to uninstall : find /usr/lib/ -name "libflashplayer.so" -delete. it's a hack, but i want working flash so i'm gonna use it. it's just the adobe manual installer. the gutsy .deb simply downloads v115 and unpacks it to the same place |

| 01:30 | Perff | both ways don't work |
| 01:30 | Pelo | Perff, hd0,0 = sda1 |

| 01:35 | Perff | Pelo, thx, i'll try |
| 01:35 | keithclark | Now, I just have I last question. How to enable Compiz? |
| 01:35 | Pelo | keithclark, congrasulations |
| 01:35 | Jack_Sparrow | !ccsm |
| 01:35 | ubotu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion |
| 01:35 | keithclark | Thanks Pelo. |
| 01:35 | Pelo | keithclark, menu > system > prefs > appearance, last tab |
| 01:36 | Perff | Pelo, is it possible to run it just supergrub as it is, or i should burn a cd? strange.. |
| 01:36 | Shirakawasuna | what are the chances of using a 2.6.23 kernel in ubuntu without compiling? |
| 01:36 | wols | Shirakawasuna: nil? |
| 01:36 | keithclark | Pelo, says it is not available. |
| 01:36 | nickrud | keithclark, run restricted-manager , enable ati restricted. Then sudo modprobe fglrx . Log out, log in. fglrxinfo , be sure you are using ati driver 8.37.6 . sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl emerald compizconfig-settings-manager , logout , login |
| 01:36 | Pelo | Perff, supergrub is a boot cd but I guess you can try and unpack the image to a usb flash drive if you know how to boot from one |
| 01:36 | Shirakawasuna | darn non-rolling-release distro |
| 01:37 | Pelo | keithclark, you might need to insall opengl support, not quite sure how, try asking in #compiz-fusion |
| 01:37 | keithclark | Pelo, thanks....I'll look into that. |
| 01:37 | magnetron | Shirakawasuna: how much ram and swap do you have? |
| 01:38 | Shirakawasuna | lemme check |
| 01:38 | Perff | Pelo, it's too complicated.. no simpler way? :( |
| 01:38 | {Nathan} | How do I set ~/bin into my path on startup? I'm guessing it's in .bashrc. |
| 01:38 | Pelo | Perff, just burn to a cd and boot from it |
| 01:38 | Perff | i don't need windows and stuff, i just want to fix stage1 and menu.lst and so on |
| 01:38 | Perff | Pelo, where could i find a cdddd |

| 01:39 | Perff | wols ext3 |
| 01:39 | musikgoat | {Nathan}: add this to .bashrc export PATH =$PATH:/new/path/to/add:/other/new/path |

| 01:39 | qwaz | I have fetchmail set as a cron job to check my work email every 5 minutes. However, I'm getting mail from cron telling me that it did it's job.Is there a way to stop this? |
| 01:39 | Perff | Pelo, how could I boot from that partition? |
| 01:39 | Pelo | qwaz, lol |
| 01:40 | Shirakawasuna | I'm trying to figure out some ways to determine the problem, but I'm fairly sure it's just this kernel version |
| 01:40 | wols | Perff: I don't see any error in the outpu you pasted here. are you sure it hasn't installed properly? |
| 01:40 | musikgoat | {Nathan}: then logout and login, and test with $PATH |
| 01:40 | qwaz | Pelo: am I an idiot? |
| 01:40 | Pelo | Perff, nevermind , I ugess i'm an idiot |
| 01:40 | gvsa123 | if i download and install unrar from synaptics, it doesn't add an additional program right? it justs adds to ubuntu's default archive manager, the ability to handle rar files? |
| 01:40 | Shirakawasuna | and waiting 4 months doesn't sound so great |
| 01:40 | wols | qwaz: run fetchmail as a daemon |
| 01:40 | Moult | Can somebody help teach me how to install apps (not in add/remove app program) i'm new to ubuntu |
| 01:40 | Pelo | qwaz, no, just a realy cute cunnundrum |
| 01:40 | musikgoat | gvsa123: it installs unrar |
| 01:40 | nickrud | qwaz, add > /dev/null at the end of your cron fetchmail invocation, that will dump it into a bit bucket |
| 01:40 | gvsa123 | Moult: use synaptics |
| 01:40 | qwaz | wols: I would prefer to run it as a cron |
| 01:40 | Perff | wols: hmmm... i guess i have to reboot to check? |
| 01:40 | tretle | hey.... does anyone know why upnp isnt working in rhythmbox? |
| 01:40 | magnetron | Shirakawasuna: there there are a lot of different laptop models out there, and almost everyone implement their "suspend"-feature differently. so a lot of laptop owners are facing the same problem as you. |
| 01:40 | musikgoat | gvsa123: which works with ubuntu's archive manager |
| 01:40 | Perff | or is there any other way? :) |
| 01:41 | wols | qwaz: and usually cron mails if there was an error with the cronjob, not otherwise |
| 01:41 | nickrud | qwaz, if you have an error, you should get a mail telling you |
| 01:41 | Pelo | Moult, what kind of file do you have to instal from ? |
| 01:41 | mongo1 | im trying to connect to my home network but i dont know where to input my information |
| 01:41 | mongo1 | wireless network |
| 01:41 | qwaz | wols: I was getting an email from cron saying "8 new messages for bla bla" |
| 01:41 | qwaz | nickrud: Thanks man |
| 01:41 | Pelo | mongo1, menu > system > admin > network I guess |
| 01:41 | snkmad | how do i know what nvidia driver version i have installed here? |
| 01:41 | Perff | wols thanks i'll try to reboot now... |
| 01:41 | gvsa123 | musikgoat: then i can simply right click on a rar file and choose open with archive manager and it'll work just like any other archive |
| 01:41 | ipx_laptop | Is it possible that the latest linux kernel that came in the update manager of ubuntu gutsy gibbon broke my sound drivers? |
| 01:41 | musikgoat | gvsa123: yes |
| 01:41 | wols | snkmad: dpkg -l |grep nvidia |
| 01:41 | nickrud | qwaz, although wols 's advice about running it as a daemon is a better idea |
| 01:41 | magnetron | Shirakawasuna: if you check the ubuntu wiki though, there MAY be info about your model and its linux support |
| 01:42 | Shirakawasuna | magnetron: yes. I remember finding once that it had to do with the 2.6.22 version, but now I can no longer find that page. I belive it specifically affected radeon x200m laptops, but not positive. |
| 01:42 | Pelo | Moult, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ |
| 01:42 | mongo1 | is there any way for ubuntu to search for wireless networks in range? |
| 01:42 | kyu_flux | don't see it in the FAQ - how do I connect to an anonymous vista share? |
| 01:42 | gvsa123 | musikgoat: thanks |
| 01:42 | qwaz | nickrud: I had "fetchmail $> /dev/null" was the $ not needed? |
| 01:42 | wols | kyu_flux: iwlist for example |
| 01:42 | snkmad | wols thx |
| 01:42 | Shirakawasuna | magnetron: I think I'm going to try compiling a 2.6.23 kernel first. Will I break a whole lot of things that way, like ndiswrapper and the radeon driver? |
| 01:42 | qwaz | wols: Why is running fetchmail as a daemon a better solution? |
| 01:42 | mongo1 | Pelo: do i want to enable "Roaming Mode" or no? |
| 01:43 | Shirakawasuna | magnetron: fglrx, really |
| 01:43 | nickrud | qwaz, no |
| 01:43 | wols | qwaz: cause it was designed for it |
| 01:43 | magnetron | Shirakawasuna: i don't knom |
| 01:43 | kyu_flux | wols: iwlist - how is wireless related to it? |
| 01:43 | musikgoat | mongo1: you are trying to file share? i don't think that menu is going to help |
| 01:43 | nickrud | qwaz, that is, no you don't want the $ :) |
| 01:43 | Pelo | mongo1, wireless I think you want to yes, but I am not an expert on this |
| 01:43 | Shirakawasuna | hmm |
| 01:43 | Shirakawasuna | I'd think they would break |
| 01:43 | wols | kyu_flux: have you checked what iwlist is? |
| 01:43 | qwaz | nickrud: Gotcha |
| 01:43 | mongo1 | no im not trying to file share just trying to connect to my home wireless network |
| 01:43 | gvsa123 | musikgoat: so which is better? the free or non-free of unrar? |
| === Varka_ is now known as Varka |
| 01:44 | kyu_flux | man iwlist == gets detailed wireless information from a wireless interface |
| 01:44 | wols | gvsa123: morally or technically? |
| 01:44 | Pelo | mongo1, did you mean you want to be able to connect to the other computers on your home network ? I think you need to use samba for that but again , not an expert |
| 01:44 | tretle | anyone know how to get the upnp plugin in rhythmbox working? |
| 01:44 | gvsa123 | wols: lol... technically. |
| 01:44 | musikgoat | good question, i think i have both installed, i think either one works with archive manager for what you are looking for |

| 01:47 | cowlikk | when i log out and come back to log in i just get a peach screen and a mouse arrow and thats all that happens |
| 01:47 | qwaz | wols: This was just a test message |
| 01:47 | nickrud | Cr3ature, wrong channel, I'm sure the do in another language |
| 01:47 | musikgoat | gvsa123: alot of people fight about whats better, rar compression or 7lza or whatever it is |
| 01:47 | Pelo | mongo1, did you check the links ubotu gave you first ? |
| 01:47 | qwaz | wols: MTA is sendmail |
| 01:47 | wols | qwaz: why? |
| 01:48 | Pelo | Moult, vim is already in the repos |
| 01:48 | Moult | Pelo: i want to learn more about linux, and i thought by learning how to compile/install manually programs was a good start |
| 01:48 | mongo1 | Pelo: ya thats what lead me to that link. |
| 01:48 | cowlikk | so when i am in the peach screen and nothing happens i do ctrl+alt+f5 and do a ps ax and the last thing on that list is gnome-screensaver but the screen saver works fine when i am loged in correctly |
| 01:48 | musikgoat | Moult: isn't vim installed by default? |
| 01:48 | qwaz | wols: ? because im a noob |
| 01:48 | Pelo | Moult, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ |
| 01:48 | cowlikk | can anyone helpme |
| 01:48 | gvsa123 | Pelo: musikgoat: so what's the "default" or preferred archiving format for ubuntu? is there? |
| 01:48 | wols | qwaz: especially when you are a noob you should NEVER use sendmail |
| 01:48 | Pelo | mongo1, give me a minute to read the link |
| 01:48 | wols | dpkg -S /usr/sbin/sendmail |
| 01:48 | qwaz | wols: im a noob, but not a dumb noob |
| 01:48 | mongo1 | Pelo: ok, thanks alot mucho appreciated. |
| 01:48 | Pelo | gvsa123, tarball, they are already availalbe by default |
| 01:48 | Moult | musikgoat: i do not see any Vim |
| 01:48 | qwaz | wols: the sendmail configuration made plenty of sense |
| 01:49 | musikgoat | gvsa123: yeah tar.gz is common |
| 01:49 | Moult | Pelo: by the way what repository are you talkign about? |
| 01:49 | LycoLoco | hey guys - while I believe that ubuntu is now getting loaded from the bootloader properly, I'm now getting dumped into BusyBox 1.1.3 - anyone have any clue what would cause that? TTY1 just displays "Loading, please wait..." and TTY5 and 8 show BusyBox. |
| 01:49 | qwaz | wols: configured mutt, fetchmail and sendmail...im not stupid |
| 01:49 | wols | qwaz: I tend to disagree. what is the package name of the dpkg command I just told you? |
| 01:49 | Pelo | Moult, menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager |
| 01:49 | musikgoat | gvsa123: tar creates on long file, and gzip or bzip2 are the popular linux compression formats |
| 01:49 | Mokilok | can someone please tell me what directory programs like Xchat are kept in my default, so i know where to put my Xchat plugins like obsidian? |
| 01:49 | gvsa123 | Pelo: musikgoat: oh.... what about the variations in tar? .bz, gz, ezwizi... lol |
| 01:50 | nickrud | lol, anyone that gets mutt nicely configured is either masochistic or does have an idea |
| 01:50 | wols | LycoLoco: it couldn't find your / partition |
| 01:50 | gvsa123 | musikgoat: oh they;'re different format altogether |
| 01:50 | musikgoat | gvsa123: tar is separate from compressing, don't get them confused |
| 01:50 | Shirakawasuna | hmm |
| 01:50 | Shirakawasuna | is there an easy way to reinstall an old kernel? |
| 01:50 | Pelo | gvsa123, those are all supported natively in ubuntu, stick with tar-gz for your own archiving I suggest seems to be the most common |
| 01:50 | Shirakawasuna | perhaps a repo keeping legacy versions? |
| 01:50 | cowlikk | can anyon in here help me |
| 01:50 | kyu_flux | wols: thanks (I didn't get it to work yet) - it's amazing that I'd have to use smbmount when there's a perfectly good file browser) |
| 01:50 | qwaz | wols: you disagree with my assesment of my own intelligence? or you disagree with sendmail's config making sense? |
| 01:50 | wols | nickrud: if said person uses snedmail without a good reason pretty much narrows it down what he is |
| 01:50 | gvsa123 | musikgoat: oh tar doesn't compress? |
| 01:50 | musikgoat | the tar is just stringing all the files together into one file, then, compressing it is the next step |
| 01:50 | LycoLoco | wols: good to know (seriously) - right now it's using ntldr instead of grub to load, so is there an easy way to get that to work instead of using ntldr? |
| 01:50 | kyu_flux | wols: but thanks for your help, i'll play around with this a little longer |
| 01:51 | Moult | Pelo: what is the use of this package manager? |
| 01:51 | wols | kyu_flux: not saying you can't do ti with the filebrowser |
| 01:51 | Pelo | mongo1, I suggest you just follow the instructions in tha tlink , the are a bit over my head |
| 01:51 | gvsa123 | musikgoat: i see... |
| 01:51 | wols | LycoLoco: yes, install it |
| 01:51 | wols | it being grub that is |
| 01:51 | nickrud | wols, me, if I do local transport I use exim. Brain dead configuration (and I'll accept that appellation) |
| 01:51 | LycoLoco | already did |
| 01:51 | musikgoat | gvsa123: the .extention is just an extention... so you will see filename.tar.gz and you will see filename.tgz which are the same |
| 01:51 | wols | qwaz: both |
| 01:51 | qwaz | wols: what makes you think I'm unintelligent? |
| 01:51 | mongo1 | Pelo: :O if they're over your head then theyre certainly over mine ;( hmm maybe someone else can help |
| 01:51 | LycoLoco | wols: yeah, I just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu and this is the same result that I've gotten 3 times over, sadly |
| 01:51 | wols | nickrud: I use postfix |
| 01:51 | Pelo | Moult, add/remove and synaptic are both frontend for apt , where add/remove only shows you the applications, synaptic shows you all the packages available, apps, libs, scritps etc |
| 01:51 | sunogbaga | help.. my other nic isn't working after i restarted my box |
| 01:51 | wols | qwaz: your use of MTA |
| 01:51 | qwaz | wols: I'm unintelligent because I used sendmail? |
| 01:52 | Moult | Pelo: oh ok thanks! |
| 01:52 | gvsa123 | Moult: that's where you can find most if not all of the applications you would need in ubuntu |
| 01:52 | LycoLoco | wols: for some reason grub isn't taking priority over ntldr, and for the life of me I can't figure out why that would be |
| 01:52 | qwaz | wols: are you sure unintelligent means what you think it means? |
| 01:52 | kyu_flux | wols: any place you can refer me to to read on how to get it to work with the file browser? |
| 01:52 | wols | qwaz: It's still not sure what you use. cause every MTA on the planet has a sendmail wrapper |
| 01:52 | ipx_laptop | Pelo: been reading through and following the troubleshooting-guide now but im pretty sure its after the latest linux kernel update that came from the repos |
| 01:52 | qwaz | wols: Ok |
| 01:52 | wols | kyu_flux: I don't do gnome or GUI, sorry |

| 01:53 | LycoLoco | sunogbaga: then I'm not sure how to do that if the installer for ubuntu isn't doing that automatically. It's installing it to hd0, which I'm not sure if that's where my MBR is or not. |

| 01:53 | Pelo | ipx_laptop, I get the cause, but the fix should still be the same, start with the basics and go from there, if your say your card is not present you probably have to install it again, no idea how however |
| 01:53 | mongo1 | Pelo: well i tried to download the offline file but it doesn't exist. |
| 01:53 | musikgoat | eric mount -t msdos /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint you could try -t vfat too |
| 01:54 | Perff | wols, I've rebooted, and now I'm screwed. There's just command-line of GRUB, no menu any more, so I can't even edit the options and manually boot. |
| 01:54 | wols | LycoLoco: what happens when you install grub? and how do you install it? |
| 01:54 | qwaz | good to see the old linux attitude is creeping its way into #ubuntu |
| 01:54 | struio | Hello, all time when I enter on my session/machine to do login, I see 'machine.(none)' how can I have only machine name without none? thanks. |
| 01:54 | ipx_laptop | Pelo: ok thx |
| 01:54 | Pelo | Moult, hold on |
| 01:54 | LycoLoco | wols: I'm just letting the ubuntu 7.10 installer do its thing, nothing special |
| 01:54 | wols | Perff: chroot into your system again. |
| 01:54 | sunogbaga | LycoLoco: is grub installed in a different HDD? |
| 01:54 | Perff | wols: if I write root (hd0,9) and then setup (hd0), it works nicely, but next reboot I again get to commandline |
| 01:54 | Pelo | mongo1, hold on |
| 01:54 | Perff | it looks like I don't have menu.lst or something |
| 01:54 | Moult | Pelo: here is the link to the vim download site again http://www.vim.org/download.php |
| 01:54 | sunogbaga | LycoLoco: i mean ubuntu.. is it installed in another hdd? |
| 01:54 | wols | Perff: what did you boot right now? the ubuntu install? |
| 01:54 | nickrud | qwaz, lol, we gotta have some curmudgeons , otherwise it's no fun |
| 01:55 | LycoLoco | sunogbaga: I'm not sure, tbh. I'm not sure what the naming nomenclature of grub is, so I"m not sure if it's on teh same drive as ubuntu or not, |
| 01:55 | eric | sorry guys i got dropped, could you repeat the msdos mount script again? |
| 01:55 | Mokilok | can anyone who has a minute please tell me where i can find my installed programs like Xchat? |
| 01:55 | wols | nickrud: the curmudgeons are the sendmail users. they've been around much longer than us exim and psotfix folks |
| 01:55 | Perff | so i have to chat from my laptop :( |
| 01:55 | musikgoat | eric mount -t msdos /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint you could try -t vfat instead |
| 01:55 | Pelo | Moult, join me in #pelo and wait for me a bit |
| 01:55 | wols | Mokilok: dpkg -L <package name> | grep bin |
| 01:55 | nickrud | Mokilok, in general , dpkg -L <pkgname> | grep /bin will show you the executables |
| 01:55 | ipx_laptop | Pelo: hehe look what i found :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3979768 |
| 01:55 | eric | thank you, ill try that |
| 01:55 | sunogbaga | LycoLoco: try rebooting your box.. each time trying a different hdd |
| 01:55 | wols | Perff: well? |
| 01:56 | Pelo | ipx_laptop, congrats, bit busy atm but good luck with it |
| 01:56 | aolaus | hey how can I download an ogg codec? |
| 01:56 | ipx_laptop | =) |
| 01:56 | serenityUK | eric first make a dir such as /media/mountpoint |
| 01:56 | LycoLoco | sunogbaga: you mean installing it to a different drive each time or booting from a different drive each time? |
| 01:56 | Perff | hey |
| 01:56 | musikgoat | thanks serenityUK |
| 01:56 | sunogbaga | LycoLoco: boot at a different hdd each time you reboot |
| 01:56 | wols | Perff: do you want a menu.lst or not? if so answer my questions |
| 01:56 | Pelo | mongo1, accept the file , I am sending it to you right now |
| 01:56 | eric | I have my mount point set up |
| 01:56 | nickrud | wols, very true. I spend some time on the sendmail lists when I was doing lfs, moved on to postfix lists because I couldn't stand it |
| 01:56 | qwaz | nickrud: anyway, thanks for the /dev/null tip :) |
| 01:56 | LycoLoco | ok, I'll give that a shot, sunogbaga |
| 01:56 | eric | the error I keep getting is as follows |
| 01:56 | mongo1 | Pelo: try again it was ignored |
| 01:56 | wols | sunogbaga: what NIC? |
| 01:56 | eric | wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, |
| 01:56 | eric | missing codepage or helper program, or other error |
| 01:56 | eric | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try |
| 01:56 | eric | dmesg | tail or so |
| 01:56 | wols | !paste | eric |

| 01:57 | eric | sorry |
| 01:57 | serenityUK | eric use -t vfat instead |
| 01:57 | sunogbaga | wols: i remember it was 3com when i first plugged it in |
| 01:57 | mongo1 | :( failed |
| 01:57 | musikgoat | eric that sounds like its not fat32 |
| 01:57 | LycoLoco | sunogbaga: thanks for your help, hopefully I'll see ya on the other side : ) |
| 01:57 | wols | sunogbaga: answer my question ins auseful manner please |
| 01:57 | mongo1 | where did you get the file from and i'll go get it |
| 01:57 | LycoLoco | you too wols, thanks! |
| 01:57 | sunogbaga | LycoLoco: np :P |
| 01:57 | eric | fdisk says that it is a fat32 win95 lba |
| 01:57 | eric | vfat doesnt work either |
| 01:57 | sunogbaga | wols: wait, i'll check the nic |
| 01:58 | gvsa123 | the archive manager still says that rar is not supported..... i got unrar free |
| 01:58 | qwaz | wols: dude...relax man...you're not getting paid for this |
| 01:58 | qwaz | wols: have some fun, that's why you're here...I would guess |
| 01:58 | eric | ive tried to mount as NTFS but that doesnt work either. I have the hdd connected to a pci sata card. would that interfere? |
| 01:58 | aolaus | hey |
| 01:58 | wols | eric: not with the filesystem |
| 01:58 | aolaus | neither mplayer or rhythmbox will play ogg |
| 01:58 | aolaus | any thoughts? |
| 01:59 | eric | On the live cd, the system mounts everything fine. |
| 01:59 | JeevesMoss | Jack_Sparrow: are you still here? |
| 01:59 | mackarill | hi guys hope someone can help me, iv just installed 7.10 on my laptop and in visual effects there is no custom option. I'm using a dell inspiron 6000 and it has share intel graphics. |
| 01:59 | shane2peru | aolaus, is your sound muted? |
| 01:59 | aolaus | I have the codec because audacity works |
| 01:59 | Jack_Sparrow | JeevesMoss: Lurking |
| 01:59 | serenityUK | eric do you use gnome.. you can also mount via icon... goto places->computer and rightclick |
| 01:59 | musikgoat | gvsa123: did you try the nonfree version? |
| 01:59 | aolaus | I'm listening to dire straits on this editing program.. it's ghetto |
| 01:59 | sunogbaga | wols: yah, its 3com. ethernet adapter... i remember ubuntu recognizing it before I restarted |
| 01:59 | JeevesMoss | Jack_Sparrow: ok, sorry, had supper in there |
| 01:59 | nickrud | aolaus, that's very odd, neither use the same codes |
| 01:59 | eric | ok im here |
| 01:59 | aolaus | audacity imported the ogg just fine |
| 01:59 | Jack_Sparrow | JeevesMoss: np.. I was chatting in another channel... |
| 01:59 | musikgoat | eric you got it? |
| 01:59 | gvsa123 | musikgoat: not yet. this is not normal? |
| 01:59 | nickrud | *codecs |
| 01:59 | eric | hmm |
| 01:59 | underdawg | how do I change my administrator password? |
| 02:00 | underdawg | I'm not seeing it in Site menu |
| 02:00 | eric | what do i need to create? |
| 02:00 | wols | sunogbaga: still not answering my question. it's about as useful if i said I have a realtek NIC |
| 02:00 | shane2peru | aolaus, ok, try shutting all sound programs off, and then try and play them? Sometimes the other sound programs take over the sound card. |
| 02:00 | aolaus | perhaps I don't have the "official" ubuntu codecs |
| 02:00 | musikgoat | gvsa, after i installed it, it worked fine... |
| 02:00 | underdawg | whoops |
| 02:00 | aolaus | oy, ok |
| 02:00 | l21logan99 | wols: i am the guy trying to get wireless working. I did what the wiki you showed me told me to do, but i can get the firmware files to "make installfw" |
| 02:00 | underdawg | wrong channel |
| 02:00 | Perff | wols: yep |
| 02:00 | JeevesMoss | Jack_Sparrow: do you have time to help me figure this Mcencoder thing? |
| 02:00 | aolaus | hoy, that worked |
| 02:00 | aolaus | thanks |
| 02:00 | eric | im in the computer, i right click, then what do i need to do? |
| 02:00 | aolaus | laters |
| 02:00 | gvsa123 | musikgoat: oh there.... i needed the nonfree... hmmm... i wonder why |
| 02:00 | musikgoat | gvsa123: try just installing unrar not unrar-free |
| 02:00 | serenityUK | eric there should be mount volume in the menu.. it will ask for password |
| 02:01 | Perff | wols: so, I try to boot my linux desktop |
| 02:01 | Perff | wols: and it boots into grub commandline |
| 02:01 | wols | Perff: either you give me the answer I asked you for, or you have to fix your problem on your own |
| 02:01 | aeGIs | jackster: You are too cool. |
| 02:01 | wols | what ahve you booted right NOW? |
| 02:01 | musikgoat | gvsa123: I'm not too sure why |
| 02:01 | jackster | aeGIs: why thankyou :) |
| 02:01 | gvsa123 | musikgoat: oh well... whichever works... :) |
| 02:01 | aeGIs | jackster: no problem |
| 02:01 | sunogbaga | wols: not really sure what youre saying.. however lspic gave me this Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 24)... but doesn't show up in network manager |
| 02:01 | nickrud | Perff, translated, that means he can't help you unless he gets useful information :) |
| 02:01 | aeGIs | Can anyone tell me how to make Ubuntu better? |
| 02:02 | eric | i dont see an option to mount a drive when i right click in the window for computer... |
| 02:02 | serenityUK | eric are you right clicking on the drive icon? |
| 02:02 | jackster | aeGIs: take a time machine into the future? |
| 02:02 | nickrud | aeGIs, join your area's locale team, work on the wiki, work with the doc team, become a master of the universe |
| 02:02 | Perff | wols: and i don't know how to boot manually - all my plays with kernel command finish with kernel panic |
| 02:02 | Perff | wols? |
| 02:02 | eric | oh, for the sdb1? it isnt showing up |
| 02:02 | jackster | meh, I still say go to the future |
| 02:02 | magnetron | aeGIs: are you saying you would like to contribute? |
| 02:02 | jackster | it's like the song, things can only get better :) |
| 02:02 | aeGIs | jackster: is there a deb for that? apt-get ubuntu-time-machine |
| 02:03 | aeGIs | magnetron: No |
| 02:03 | eric | doesnt show an icon in the computer - file browser at all |
| 02:03 | Jack_Sparrow | JeevesMoss: ON the phone atm... that should not be hard.. wols or maybe pelo if you can catch him |
| 02:03 | aeGIs | I want the windows to stop being unresponsive when I open more than 4 |
| 02:03 | JeevesMoss | Jack_Sparrow: ok, I'm going over to the coffee shop again |
| 02:03 | wols_ | sunogbaga: 3c59x should be it |
| 02:03 | wols_ | Perff: I asked you how you booted right now. either you tell me or fix your stuff yourself. good day |
| 02:03 | musikgoat | all we want to do is eat your brains... we're not unreasonable, we wont eat your eyes... jonathan coulton rocks |

| 02:04 | l21logan99 | wols: i just cant seem to get anything to work |
| 02:05 | sunogbaga | wols_: how can I use it again? do i just need a reboot or something else? |
| 02:05 | Johnson | when i go to suspend for a long time, i log back in get an an errror message saying computer failed to "hibernate", and then the computer hibernates. any ideas how to fix this problem i have no settings on that tell my computer to hibernate it never should |
| 02:05 | wols_ | l21logan99: you can't seem to make proper problem descriptions either |
| 02:05 | wols_ | sunogbaga: modprobe it, if it then works put it in /etc/modules |
| 02:05 | Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: me too... I worked on Attack of the Killer TOmaotes.. long ago... can I join in.. |
| 02:05 | h-town | hey i got a question about gparted |

| 02:06 | nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, absolutely, if |rat| will let us in |
| 02:06 | calm | Does anyone know when the Flash plugin installation will be fixed? |
| 02:06 | l21logan99 | wols: im sorry, I went threw the steps that the bcm43xx readme siad, i extracted the firmware file then said make installfw, and the terminal said that it the command was no valid |
| 02:06 | h-town | i'm trying to format my vista partition, so that I can use it as a storage partition and comit my pc to ubuntu |
| 02:06 | aeGIs | h-town: Dearly gparted, we are gathered here today to celebrate this thing we call life... |
| 02:06 | sunogbaga | wols_: ok |
| 02:06 | Jack_Sparrow | calm: No idea yet... |
| 02:06 | nickrud | calm, that is the 64 dollar question here |
| 02:06 | h-town | ha, that's funny |

| 02:07 | bmt2 | i am tryin to install LIVES....and it says I need gtk2.0 |
| 02:07 | KNRO | Hello, I'm trying to port a package to Ubuntu, however, I'm having problem. I already have RPM, but need to release it for deb as well, anyone experience in packaing here can help me a bit? |
| 02:07 | h-town | so, in gparted, i've unmounted my windows partition, when I go to format it i have options |
| 02:07 | musikgoat | h-town: i remember, whats wrong with what your are doing |
| 02:07 | wols_ | h-town: you STILL haven't told us what the problem is you're having. will you ever? |
| 02:07 | bmt2 | i thought i did using synaptic...but the ./configure for LIVES is giving me the same error |
| 02:07 | Jack_Sparrow | Flash works, but just for firefox, and you run the risk of the real fix conflicting with the current workaround |
| 02:07 | musikgoat | !fs |
| 02:07 | bmt2 | can anyone help ! |
| 02:07 | ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi |
| 02:07 | chickenFuego | eric, you have a second hard drive, but you don't see it? |
| 02:07 | eric | yes |

| 02:07 | Flannel | bmt2: Do you have build-essential installed? |
| * |rat| remember: "You cannot die McCloud, accept it!" |
| 02:07 | eric | correct. its located at /dev/sdb1 according to fdisk |
| 02:07 | nickrud | aeGIs, run cfdisk, change the partition to Linux , then sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sd(a1?) |
| 02:08 | chickenFuego | eric, please type "mount" in a console and paste the output in a pastebin. |
| 02:08 | bmt2 | Flannel: no i do not...what is build-essential ? |
| 02:08 | wols_ | bmt2: install the gkt2.0 dev package |
| 02:08 | Flannel | !offtopic > |rat| |
| 02:08 | Flannel | !compile | bmt2 |
| 02:08 | ubotu | bmt2: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) |
| 02:08 | h-town | well i have options for formating it, what do i select, so that it's ubuntu compatible but will be it's own partitions |
| 02:08 | h-town | partition |
| 02:08 | bmt2 | wols_:can i apt-get install gtk2.0 dev package ? |
| 02:08 | aeGIs | jack_sp: But you don't have the functions... like on xxxstash.com you can't make the videos go to full screen. |
| 02:08 | Jack_Sparrow | |rat|: It only takes ma an hour to get over to Hollywood/Burbank |
| 02:08 | Perff | <Perff> wols: yep |
| 02:08 | Perff | <Perff> wols: so, I try to boot my linux desktop |
| 02:08 | Perff | <Perff> wols: and it boots into grub commandline |
| 02:08 | Perff | <Perff> wols: and i don't know how to boot manually - all my plays with kernel command finish with kernel panic |
| 02:08 | Perff | <Perff> wols? |
| 02:08 | Flannel | bmt2: Its got gcc and all the standard libs and stuff (and then you'll need gtk as well) |
| 02:08 | wols_ | h-town: ext3 |
| 02:08 | musikgoat | h-town: ext3 is the most common but slow |
| 02:08 | wols_ | bmt2: yes |
| 02:08 | NoorulIslaam | oh wow today's naruto is gonna be awesome :P |
| 02:08 | h-town | well my primary partition is already ext3 |
| 02:08 | chickenFuego | eric: e.g. here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ |
| 02:08 | wols_ | Perff: you are here, hence you managed to boot _somthing_ |
| 02:08 | musikgoat | h-town: xfs is faster, but less recoverable on hard shutdowns |
| 02:09 | bmt2 | wols_: how do i apt-get install gtk 2.0 ? |
| 02:09 | |rat| | Flannel: sorry... |
| 02:09 | wols_ | bmt2: I will NOT tell people how to use gtk |
| 02:09 | Flannel | h-town: That doesn't matter, you can have all of them ext3 if you want |
| 02:09 | Perff | wols no, I'm chatting with you from windows laptop |
| 02:09 | wols_ | erm use apt-get |
| 02:09 | troythetechguy | I'm running 7.10 on hp pavilion ze4125. Computer is running slow, and I was advised to 'killall powernowd', but the command responds with, 'no process killed'. I ran ps -aux, and the only result is 'gnome-power-manager. Any ideas? |
| 02:09 | bmt2 | Flannel: can i apt-get install build-essentials ? |
| 02:09 | wols_ | Perff: use the livecd then |
| 02:09 | Perff | wols: i can't boot any linux |
| 02:09 | calm | Ah. Oh well. |
| 02:09 | musikgoat | build-essential |
| 02:09 | Perff | wols: and? |
| 02:09 | Flannel | bmt2: apt-get install build-essential, yes. no "s" on the end |
| 02:09 | h-town | ok i understand, i was worried that ext3 was like number 3 drive and they would merge |
| 02:09 | wols_ | Perff: use it |
| 02:09 | Perff | wols: livecd CAN'T boot my hard drive linux |
| 02:09 | Perff | wols: and? |
| 02:09 | musikgoat | h-town: no, that wont happen |
| 02:09 | wols_ | Perff: it doesn't need ot. you have a linux, it can mount the harddisk, it can chroot into it |
| 02:09 | h-town | great, well i'm going to go for it... |
| 02:09 | chickenFuego | eric? |
| 02:10 | Perff | wols: it will just take me to the same screen with command line of grub... |
| 02:10 | Perff | :( |
| 02:10 | bmt2 | okay Flannel i am doing that now..thanks |
| 02:10 | bmt2 | you seed that it gives me gcc...but what about gtk ? |
| 02:10 | wols_ | Perff: the livecd will NOT do this. think before you type |
| 02:10 | bmt2 | wols_: how do i apt-get install gtk 2.0 ? |
| 02:10 | Perff | wols: what is "chroot"? |
| 02:10 | l21logan99 | wols: im sorry, I went threw the steps that the bcm43xx readme said, i extracted the firmware file then said make installfw, and the terminal said that it the command was not valid |
| 02:10 | |rat| | sudo apt-get install gtk2? |
| 02:10 | wols_ | Perff: command. |
| 02:10 | wols_ | !grub | Perff |
| 02:10 | ubotu | Perff: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto |
| 02:11 | eric | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49101/ |
| 02:11 | eric | there ya go |
| 02:11 | bmt2 | |rat|: is that all i have to do is : sudo apt-get install gtk2 ? |
| 02:11 | eric | shows both vfat and msdos |
| 02:11 | eric | and my fdisk -l |
| 02:11 | wols_ | Perff: instead of running the grub-install in those howtos to install grub after you chrooted, simply run sudo update-grub and you have a menu.lst |
| 02:11 | Perff | wols i read all these docs, and i don't need windows |
| 02:11 | Perff | wols ok it looks like i need to find out what is chroot |
| 02:11 | wols_ | Perff: but you need a menu.lst |
| 02:12 | wols_ | chroot is a command |
| 02:12 | wols_ | "change root" literally. changes / |
| 02:12 | RenatoSilva | I have Feisty and want to install Gutsy over it. Backing up my /home will work totally? |
| 02:12 | Perff | wols: ok i'll try now |
| 02:12 | musikgoat | eric, is it possible that your fat32 is corrupted? |
| 02:12 | wols_ | RenatoSilva: upgrading will work too |
| 02:12 | h-town | so i have 2 ext3 partitons plus a space of about 30 gigs unallocated, how do i merge the new ext3 partition with that unallocated space? |
| 02:12 | RenatoSilva | I have Feisty and want to install Gutsy over it. Backing up my /home will work totally? |
| 02:12 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, yes |
| 02:12 | Perff | wols: thx |
| 02:12 | eric | i dont think so. It shouldnt be. |
| 02:12 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, not required to backup home, but it's as good a time as any |
| 02:12 | |rat| | bmt2: is sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 |
| 02:12 | RenatoSilva | wols_: I'm in a dialed conn |
| 02:13 | wols_ | h-town: you don't. you resize the ext3 partition to encompass the unallocated space |
| 02:13 | chickenFuego | eric, did you try without the -t option? |
| 02:13 | h-town | ah, ok thanks |
| 02:13 | eric | no i didnt. ill try that now |
| 02:13 | wols_ | RenatoSilva: you can upgrade witht he CD too |
| 02:13 | Jack_Sparrow | RenatoSilva: That is gonna take awhile.. |
| 02:13 | l21logan99 | wols:???? |
| 02:13 | wols_ | Jack_Sparrow: only if he has a 1x CD drive |
| 02:13 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: so I create a user with the same name and restore the /home/myuser and everything will work fine? |
| 02:13 | eric | that just gives me a lot of options |
| 02:13 | wols_ | l21logan99: either you show us the errors you get or you fix your own problems. your choice |
| 02:13 | h-town | so if i resize it all the way it won't affect my original ubuntu partition? like in the window that pops up with a slider? |
| 02:13 | eric | if i dont include the -t |
| 02:14 | wols_ | RenatoSilva: that is bass ackwards |
| 02:14 | Jack_Sparrow | wols_: No.. if he tries to upgrade with dialup |
| 02:14 | musikgoat | eric mount /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint |
| 02:14 | h-town | the slider represents all my free space? or all my total hard drive? |
| 02:14 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, yes. If you're reinstalling completely , you should consider making a /home partition. |
| 02:14 | RenatoSilva | wols_: upgrade from cd? it's a new feature of gutsy don't? |
| 02:14 | wols_ | h-town: it shouldn't affect, but if you haven't backed up your stuff it's not important anyways |
| 02:15 | wols_ | RenatoSilva: no it's not a new feature. it always wa there. always |
| 02:15 | eric | it tells me i must specifiy the file system type |
| 02:15 | chickenFuego | eric: try "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/windows" |
| 02:15 | musikgoat | eric, oh well, worth a shot |
| 02:15 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: not necessary, I have just one user, is it possible to create a different user, restore and rename the profile? |
| 02:15 | l21logan99 | wols: i get the error No rule to make target `installfw' |
| * nickrud doesn't really trust the upgrade path anymore :( |
| 02:15 | h-town | well so far so good, thanks for the help guys |
| 02:15 | chickenFuego | eric: or "mount -t fat32 /dev/sdb1 /media/windows" |
| 02:15 | wols_ | l21logan99: what howto do you use? |
| 02:15 | chickenFuego | eric: or "mount -t FAT32 /dev/sdb1 /media/windows" |
| 02:16 | gvsa123 | is there a way for ubuntu to tell you when you have minimized windows in other desktops when you are logging out or shutting down or whatever |
| 02:16 | wols_ | chickenFuego: it would be -t vfat. which he already tried |
| 02:16 | l21logan99 | wols: it says in the bcm43xx readme that i extract the files then i use "make installfw" to properlly place them for use by the driver |
| 02:16 | eric | it says maybe i ment vfat |
| 02:16 | RenatoSilva | wols_: that's funny because I never have noticed it tough desiring it so much. It happens when analysing the partitions right? |
| 02:16 | wols_ | eric: dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=bootsector count=1 bs=512 |
| 02:16 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, yes, you'll have to chown the files & dirs in your home, but easily doable |
| 02:16 | wols_ | eric: then show us the result |
| 02:16 | l21logan99 | wols:and i get that error |
| 02:16 | wols_ | RenatoSilva: no |
| 02:16 | chickenFuego | please paste the output of "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/windows", It shouldn t give options as output.. |
| 02:17 | serenityUK | eric try the eqivilent of scandisk.... sudo fsck /dev/sdb1 |
| 02:17 | Jack_Sparrow | !broadcom |
| 02:17 | ubotu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx |
| 02:17 | wols_ | RenatoSilva: you do not boot from the CD ever when upgrading |
| 02:17 | aeGIs | don't be a hater |
| 02:17 | nickrud | !upgrade | RenatoSilva |
| 02:17 | ubotu | RenatoSilva: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes |
| 02:17 | wols_ | RenatoSilva: you ad the CD to your sources.list and do a apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade. that's all |
| 02:17 | musikgoat | chickenFuego: he used no t but still added the filesystem the first time, then corrected it |
| 02:17 | aeGIs | !stop unresponsive windows |
| 02:17 | RenatoSilva | wols_: hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |
| 02:18 | gnychis | I added myself to the "sudo" group, however when I type "sudo ______" it does nothing, it does not return me a password prompt or anything |
| 02:18 | eric | wols - permission denied |
| 02:18 | wols_ | RenatoSilva: and that's supposed to tell me what? |
| 02:18 | l21logan99 | ubotu: if you are speaking to me then i have already checked there and there is nothing about the problems i am having |
| 02:18 | wols_ | eric: use sudo then |
| 02:18 | nickrud | gnychis, ________ isn't a command ;) |
| 02:18 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: hummm, what about if the backup was in a NTFS partition? |
| 02:18 | Perff | wols: |
| 02:18 | Jack_Sparrow | ubotu is a bot |
| 02:18 | ubotu | Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information. |
| 02:18 | aeGIs | gynch: you have to put a command in |
| 02:18 | aeGIs | ubotu is a bot? |
| 02:18 | ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi |
| 02:18 | Jack_Sparrow | yes |
| 02:19 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, I beleive you'd need to copy it over to an ext2/3 or other linux partition |
| 02:19 | Perff | wols: ok now grub has a menu, but when I select any item it says "can't mount selected partition" |
| 02:19 | aeGIs | Oh, I didn't know ubotu is a bot |
| 02:19 | musikgoat | lol |
| 02:19 | RenatoSilva | wols_: hum means hum |
| 02:19 | l21logan99 | wols: it says in the bcm43xx readme that i extract the files then i use "make installfw" to properlly place them for use by the driver |
| 02:19 | gvsa123 | aeGIs: cool |
| 02:19 | wols_ | RenatoSilva: if you want a backup, make a tarfile of what you want ot backup. you can put this easily on a ntfs drive without any problems |
| 02:19 | chickenFuego | eric - as far as I know, the vfat linux kernel driver can read/write fat16, but only read fat32. |
| 02:19 | Jack_Sparrow | l21logan99: Did you use fwcutter? |
| 02:19 | wols_ | RenatoSilva: have a nice day and learn to speak properly. good bye |
| 02:19 | aeGIs | ntfs! |
| 02:19 | musikgoat | chickenFuego: i'm not sure if that is correct |
| 02:20 | l21logan99 | Jack_Sparrow: yes |
| 02:20 | wols_ | chickenFuego: not true |
| 02:20 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: otherwise what'd happen? |
| 02:20 | wols_ | musikgoat: it isn't |
| 02:20 | musikgoat | vfat writes fine to fat32 |
| 02:20 | musikgoat | ok |
| 02:20 | l21logan99 | bcm43xx-fwcutter FILE |
| 02:20 | eric | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49102/ |
| 02:20 | Jack_Sparrow | l21logan99: What problem are you having, all of those have worked fine for me |
| 02:20 | serenityUK | i use fat32 r/w |
| 02:20 | RenatoSilva | wols_: you too |
| 02:20 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, tarring is excellent advice , it stands for tape archive. Standard procedure for backups |
| 02:20 | gnychis | I added myself to the "sudo" group, however when I type "sudo ______" it does nothing, it does not return me a password prompt or anything |
| 02:20 | l21logan99 | Jack_Sparrow make installfw |
| 02:20 | eric | there is the paste for both wols and serenities scripts |
| 02:21 | l21logan99 | i get No rule to make target `installfw' |
| 02:21 | RenatoSilva | wols_: have some sex, you need it I guess |
| 02:21 | neep2h | i need help on setting up wireless connection from laptop to router so i can get on teh interwebs :( can someone plz help me? |
| 02:21 | wols_ | eric: can you put up the bootsector file somewhere |
| 02:21 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: good idea that of TAR |
| 02:21 | Perff | <Perff> wols: ok now grub has a menu, but when I select any item it says "can't mount selected partition" |
| 02:21 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: but i'm curious about what would happen |
| 02:21 | musikgoat | eric, fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1 ? |
| 02:22 | wols_ | Perff: pastebin your menu.lst and your fdisk -l output |
| 02:22 | Jack_Sparrow | l21logan99: Where are you getting the request to make installfw? |
| 02:22 | KyleS | I'm having a weird issue |
| 02:22 | Perff | wols: and if I fix the script (it for somewhat stupid reason set "root (hd0,0)", it kernelpanics |
| 02:22 | KyleS | The following partially installed packages will be configured: |
| 02:22 | KyleS | linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic |
| 02:22 | l21logan99 | in terminal |
| 02:22 | KyleS | And it's failing |
| 02:22 | wols_ | musikgoat: since it's no vfat or not recognized as such it will eithernot work or destroy data |
| 02:22 | eric | boot sector should be in the same paste |
| 02:22 | eric | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49102/ |
| 02:22 | l21logan99 | ohh the BCM43xx README |
| 02:22 | KyleS | Errors were encountered while processing: |

| 02:23 | l21logan99 | yes |
| 02:23 | eric | yeah its at the bottom |
| 02:23 | musikgoat | eric, thats just the dd command |
| 02:23 | eric | musikgoat, i dont know what that means either |
| 02:23 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: my backup is already as a folder on a NTFS filesystem, I guess restoring it would let the owner as root:root or maybe the current user... |
| 02:23 | musikgoat | eric cat bootsector |
| 02:23 | l21logan99 | but i got a Restricted Drivers not needed error, so i have to manualy install the firmware in terminal |
| 02:23 | wols_ | musikgoat: bootsector is a binary file... |
| 02:23 | l21logan99 | via the README |
| 02:23 | musikgoat | oh |
| 02:23 | eric | err, how do i show the boot sector? |
| 02:23 | KyleS | http://pastebin.com/d604360af |
| 02:23 | KyleS | sorry bout that |
| 02:23 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, if you haven't started the upgrade/install yet, redo it as a tar. |
| 02:24 | Jack_Sparrow | l21logan99: what did you put into term that generated the error |
| 02:24 | l21logan99 | make installfw |

| 02:26 | l21logan99 | i do not have any internet |
| 02:26 | l21logan99 | that is for an online install |
| 02:26 | musikgoat | eric, looks like you have to install tex4ht |
| 02:26 | gvsa123 | what's the command to see the devices connected if you forgot the /dev/xxx so you can mount for example. |
| 02:27 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: anotehr question: at job, the upgrade doesn't work. After downloading the upgrade tool, it tells me there was a fault regarding PGP authentication or something like this... |
| 02:27 | wundaboy | im having trouble having it automatically download |
| 02:27 | eric | ok |
| 02:27 | serenityUK | gvsa123: sudo fdisk -l |
| 02:27 | eric | im getting those packages now |
| 02:27 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, try sudo aptitide update , then run the upgrade again |
| 02:27 | Jack_Sparrow | YOu can download on another machine and copy those files over. |
| 02:27 | serenityUK | gvsa123: that's l for larry |
| 02:27 | Jack_Sparrow | l21logan99: |

| 02:30 | Arsenic | Hi there! I'm trying to install a perl script that is requires some Perl Modules. One of the module is List::MoreUtils version 0.22 and I have v 0.21. When trying to install the latest version through 'perl -MCPAN -e 'shell' ' it tells me that I have the latest version... |
| 02:30 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, then show the error on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org |
| 02:30 | eric | whoah, it put me in this blue screen with lots of zeros... how do i not break this? |
| 02:30 | serenityUK | gvsa123: there are a few different commands... lspci and lsusb will list pci and usb devices... use -v for more detail |
| 02:30 | gvsa123 | serenityUK: lsusb!... i remembered now... |
| 02:30 | chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, can you paste your compilation errors msg? |
| 02:30 | Jack_Sparrow | what about a copy of wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o |
| 02:30 | NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: it throws a lot of errors, mostly ones like "error: invalid use of undefined type ‘struct <name>’" or "error: ‘<name>’ was not declared in this scope" |
| 02:30 | baudolino | hey all - I've somehow borked my ubuntu installation which now boots to a text console login rather than into X, anyone have any ideas of settings that I may have somehow screwed up that could cause this to happen? |
| 02:30 | wols_ | l21logan99: what firmware binary did you get from the extraction? and where did you copy it? |
| 02:31 | baudolino | if I log in and startx all is fine, X just doesn't start at boot |
| 02:31 | wols_ | baudolino: your xorg settings |
| 02:31 | gvsa123 | serenityUK: yeah... i just couldn't remember... should have a notebook for this.... |
| 02:31 | wols_ | baudolino: that is the S99gdm symlink |
| 02:31 | l21logan99 | wols: i used wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o which was on my home desktop |
| 02:31 | eric | and how do i copy and paste this stuff? |
| 02:31 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: regarding this I've noticed that always when updating package list it shows me an alert about unauthenticated sources |
| 02:31 | l21logan99 | wols: i got it cia a link on the wiki |
| 02:31 | nickrud | baudolino, if you run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm at the console, do you get the graphical login screen? |
| 02:31 | Jack_Sparrow | l21logan99: or just wl_apsta_o |
| 02:31 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: I'll verify it later |
| 02:31 | wols_ | l21logan99: was that file created by the extraction? |
| 02:31 | chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, some missing libraries? paste it here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ |
| 02:31 | serenityUK | gvsa123: use -v for verbose... yes I use google notebook to write these down.. can acess form any pc with a browser lol |
| 02:31 | l21logan99 | wols:no |
| 02:31 | musikgoat | eric, i'm trying to see if i can get any output, wols_ do you have experience with ht? |
| 02:31 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, yeah, that's the error I'm talking about. |
| 02:31 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: thank you very much for everything |
| 02:31 | wols_ | l21logan99: what file DID you get from extraction? |
| 02:31 | Arsenic | How can know which CPAN mirror i'm getting my perl packages from? |
| 02:32 | gvsa123 | serenityUK: so is there a command to list down all commands? |
| 02:32 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, and that is _upgrading_ , not updating. Two different actions |
| 02:32 | eric | im very new to this whole linux thing so im just trying to understand exactly what i need to do. |
| 02:32 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: do you know the download size for an upgrade? |
| 02:32 | l21logan99 | wols: a variety of bcm43xx*.fw files in the .tmp folder |
| 02:32 | finchx6 | will someone please help me get my sound working in gutsy? |
| 02:32 | h-town | resizing a partition sure take a long time |
| 02:32 | wols_ | l21logan99: you need to copy one of them to /lib/firmware. possibly all of them |
| 02:32 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, depends on how much stuff you installed from the net. could be as little as 700mb , or more than 2 |
| 02:33 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: yeah, i've *updated* feisty before trying to *upgrade* to gutsy |
| 02:33 | serenityUK | gvsa123: there are too many.. try info xxx if looking for something... . also sudo lshw is big list of all dectected hardware.. even memory etc |
| 02:33 | musikgoat | eric, i've never read a bootsector before, so i'm trying along with you, but i don't know the syntax for ht |
| 02:33 | eric | got it |
| 02:33 | wundaboy | this is what i get when i try to upgrade: http://pastebin.ca/826261 |
| 02:33 | wundaboy | how do i fix it? |
| 02:33 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, and you got authentication errors? Reminds me, you should disable any non-ubuntu repos before you upgrade |
| 02:33 | troythetechguy | I'm running 7.10 on hp pavilion ze4125. Computer is running slow, and I was advised to 'killall powernowd', but the command responds with, 'no process killed'. I ran ps -aux | grep, and the only result is 'gnome-power-manager. Any ideas? |
| 02:33 | baudolino | nickrud, it would be kdm i guess since im trying to fire up kde at this stage but kk I'll give that a shot, ty :) |
| 02:33 | wols_ | eric: pastebin the output of hte now |
| 02:33 | serenityUK | gvsa123: sudo lshw is the daddy |
| 02:34 | l21logan99 | wols: i did copy them all but it didnt work, the README said it needs to be in FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR |
| 02:34 | eric | how do i copy the output? |
| 02:34 | l21logan99 | inlib/firmware |
| 02:34 | serenityUK | gvsa123: (list hardware) |
| 02:34 | gvsa123 | serenityUK: i see.... i'd better go google for basic linux commands.... any manual you might want to recommend... will try those out |
| 02:34 | eric | its in some wierd window |
| 02:34 | baudolino | wols_, there is a s99kdm symlink, its pointing to /etc/init.d/kdm like I'm guessing its meant to |
| 02:34 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: al least a CD-like? Well, it's a bad idea trying to do it on dialed connection rs |
| 02:34 | l21logan99 | wols: "After extraction, run make installfw which will copy bcm43xx_*.fw to |
| 02:34 | l21logan99 | FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR (which defaults to /lib/firmware) for |
| 02:34 | l21logan99 | usage by the bcm43xx driver. " |
| 02:34 | l21logan99 | After extraction, run make installfw which will copy bcm43xx_*.fw to |
| 02:34 | l21logan99 | FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR (which defaults to /lib/firmware) for |
| 02:34 | l21logan99 | usage by the bcm43xx driver. An alternative way is using the -w option. |
| 02:34 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: hummmmmmm :) |
| 02:34 | wols_ | l21logan99: yes in /lib/firmware. then you modprobe -r your bcm43xx and modprobe it again to load it. then you should have an interface for it which you can configure |
| 02:34 | nickrud | RenatoSilva, oh, yes you are absolutely correct. Unless you're willing to let it run all night for a a while :) |
| 02:34 | bascule | gvsa123: linuxcommand.org |
| 02:35 | gvsa123 | bascule: thanks. |
| 02:35 | wols_ | l21logan99: do NOT paste in here! |
| 02:35 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: in fact I think there is non-ubuntu repos...I'll try it next year, thank you!!! |
| 02:35 | l21logan99 | wols: so how do i mobprobe |
| 02:35 | nickrud | l21logan99, did you run that as sudo make installfw ? |
| 02:35 | wols_ | l21logan99: modprobe |
| 02:35 | l21logan99 | nickrud: yes |
| 02:36 | nickrud | bummer, thought I had fought thru the thicket |
| 02:36 | gvsa123 | serenityUK: i like this... lshw.... lol |
| 02:36 | RenatoSilva | nickrud: a night is not enough, maybe a month rs... |
| 02:36 | aeGIs | Would you like an apple pie with that? Ding fries are done.... |
| 02:36 | l21logan99 | wols: yes, but you said to mobprobe -r your bcm43xx, what did you mean by "your bcm43xx" |
| 02:36 | DIL | how can i tell which version of Ubuntu is installed on a computer? |
| 02:37 | NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: sorry that took so long: http://pastebin.ca/826268 |
| 02:37 | wols_ | I said modprobe. read more carefully. your bcm43xx which is currently loaded but won't work |
| 02:37 | nickrud | DIL, lsb_release -a in a terminal |
| 02:37 | eric | hmm... it is telling me it cant load the configuration file and then it says it is loading a default |

| 02:37 | KyleS | nvm~ |
| 02:37 | KyleS | figured it out |
| 02:37 | baudolino | nickrud, just tried sudo invoke-rc.d kdm start, telling me its not the default display manager (although /etc/default-display-manager tells a different story) |
| 02:37 | Billy_ | guys ....... while running ubuntu 7.10 with compiz enabled I sometimes at the top window bar of firfox missing. the minimize, maxime & close button are missing, when I hover my mouse over they come back. Is there any solution ? |
| 02:37 | DIL | ty |
| 02:37 | serenityUK | gvsa123: sorry i looked through my bookmarks cant find the cheatsheet... there are tutorials I just lost them lol... I use www.ubuntuforums.org for most things |
| 02:37 | musikgoat | Jack_Sparrow: thanks |
| 02:38 | eric | ive already said that i dont know how to copy the hte much less get an output from it. all i see is a blue and green screen with a bunch of 0's |
| 02:38 | l21logan99 | wols: so i would type bcm43xx-fwcutter modprobe |
| 02:38 | nickrud | baudolino, sudo update-alternatives --config kdm should allow you to set it as the default |
| 02:38 | Jack_Sparrow | musikgoat: Have you copied it to a file yet with dd |
| 02:38 | wols_ | l21logan99: no |

| 02:38 | nickrud | baudolino, but but the login manager is desktop agnostic, you can start any desktop from kdm or gdm |
| 02:38 | NotSoGutsy | anybody else want to tell me what I'm doing wrong?: http://pastebin.ca/826268 |
| 02:38 | musikgoat | Jack_Sparrow: i'm not having a problem, i'm trying to learn to use ht like eric is, based off wols_ guidance |
| 02:39 | RenatoSilva | what about ubuntu's promisse "winmodems out-of-the-box" on Gutsy? Does anyone know how things are going... |
| 02:39 | gvsa123 | serenityUK: thanks though... trying to look for something i can print out... no need for elaborate descriptions... just what they do basically... |
| 02:39 | Perff3 | wols? i got offline, could you plz repeat |
| 02:39 | sunogbaga | wols_: thx.. it's working now.. although network manager won't show the devices, which i think i can live with. :D |

| 02:41 | recoy | need help with teamspeak 2 server setup |

| 02:41 | wols_ | cowlikk: you got my ignore instead. have a niec day |
| 02:41 | baudolino | nickrud, --config kdm doesn't have alternatives, I thought I remembered there being a setting x-display-manager but update-alternatives doesn't seem to want to play ball with that, all I can find related to X are x-session-manager (currently set to startkde) and x-window-manager (set to kwin) |
| 02:41 | NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego / nickrud :: the lsb-build-desktop3 is required too, it's rather large for this use alone |
| 02:41 | chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, the first header file missing is: qapplication.h, just paste this filename in packages.ubuntu.com, under "Search the contents of packages" (second form) and you will see the corresponding package. |

| 02:42 | Arsenic | Anybody can give me a hand with perl packages? |

| 02:43 | wols_ | l21logan99: I did not. "modprobe -r" is not "modprobe" |
| 02:43 | chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, which ubuntu distri do you have? type cat /etc/apt/sources.list |
| 02:43 | wols_ | recoy: can you ask specific questions? |

| 02:44 | cowlikk | you guys all fucking suck dick . haha have a nice day |
| 02:44 | nickrud | mackarill, install compizconfig-settings-manager |
| 02:44 | bazhang | recoy: what is that? where is the website--do they have a faq? |
| 02:44 | wols_ | baudolino: what IS the default display manager? |
| 02:44 | nickrud | baudolino, hrm, try xdm |
| 02:44 | Grandslammaster | can any one help me with apache |
| 02:44 | NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: I'm on Gutsy |
| 02:44 | NotSoGutsy | hence my rather clever name |
| 02:44 | gvsa123 | ?? |
| 02:44 | baudolino | nickrud, /etc/X11/default-display-manager claims /usr/sbin/kdm is |
| 02:44 | wols_ | baudolino: some VoIP program mainly for games. clan talk for example |
| 02:44 | baudolino | not sure if there would be another setting elsewhere overriding that? |
| 02:44 | chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, it might work with qt4, try "sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev" and compile again. paste the errors if any. |
| 02:44 | NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: I just haven't done anything with QT before this |
| 02:44 | recoy | http://www.goteamspeak.com/ |

| 02:44 | mackarill | cowlikk was right i do suck dick XS |
| 02:45 | recoy | the forums are all old |
| 02:45 | NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: libqt4-dev is already newest version |
| 02:45 | nickrud | baudolino, doh, dumb me. sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm |
| 02:45 | Arsenic | Anybody can give me a hand with perl packages? |
| 02:45 | l21logan99 | wols: i will try that and be back if it does not work |
| 02:45 | wols_ | mrdinkles: install the OS and decide which OS has the booatloader. if it's ubuntu, add the other OS to menu.lst. you ahve to do it manually |
| 02:45 | bazhang | recoy: take a look at the site; do they have a faq or setup instructions? |
| 02:45 | recoy | bazhang: they are old |
| 02:45 | baudolino | wols_, nah, it just gives me that line about not being the default display manager so it wont start |
| 02:45 | baudolino | nickrud, kk |
| 02:45 | wols_ | Perff: which of your partitions is the linux / one? which one has your /boot? |
| 02:45 | recoy | bazhang: already looked at them |
| 02:46 | bazhang | recoy: what is the purpose of the package? |
| 02:46 | eric | oh well, alright, have a good night everyone |
| 02:46 | wols_ | recoy: either you tell us the problem more precisely or I doubt anyone will or can help you |
| 02:46 | wols_ | eric: where is the paste? |
| 02:46 | chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, your make wants qt3: "-I/usr/share/qt3/include" |
| 02:46 | wols_ | baudolino: to talk with friends |
| 02:46 | recoy | bazhang: its a program like ventrilo but free and for linux |
| 02:47 | harushimo | does totem read dvds |
| 02:47 | eric | ive told you several times that i cant copy the information. |
| 02:47 | baudolino | nickrud, hmm...well, it gave me a choice between gdm and kdm, went with kdm and tried again but same thing about not the default-display-manager >< |
| 02:47 | mrdinkles | wols_: how though, your talking to newcomers-- Ubuntu has the bootloader, i think its grub-- should i start out on Ubuntu or using the live ubuntu cd or the other OS? |
| 02:47 | Perff_last | hi all |
| 02:47 | Perff_last | wols |
| 02:47 | Perff_last | wols_, did you receive my pastebins? |
| 02:47 | bazhang | recoy: no clue what that means |
| 02:47 | wols_ | Perff: which of your partitions is the linux / one? which one has your /boot? |
| 02:47 | recoy | wols_: the problem is it wants me to input a ip address for my "own server" and i dont know how or where to get my ip |
| 02:47 | chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, is thee a "configure" script available for your program? |
| 02:47 | wols_ | Perff: I asked you tons of things and you never answered |
| 02:47 | musikgoat | eric, i'm going to capture a screenshot, and have you compare it |
| 02:47 | Perff_last | wols_: all on /dev/sda10 |
| 02:47 | NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: no there is not |
| 02:47 | eric | alright, thanks musikgoat |
| 02:47 | Perff_last | wols_: and while i run update-grub it said "Cannot determine root device. Assuming /dev/hda1 |
| 02:47 | Perff_last | " |
| 02:47 | kjm | does ubuntu have better HFS or UFS support? |
| 02:47 | chickenFuego | well, the package libqt3-headers should do the trick. |
| 02:47 | baudolino | nickrud, im thinking there'd have to be a setting somewhere that supersedes /etc/X11/default-display-manager |
| 02:47 | nickrud | baudolino, that's a bug then. Search bugs.ubuntu.com for bugs filed against kdm , file one if you can't find it |
| 02:47 | wols_ | Perff_last: then change the groot line in your mneu.kst to (hd0,9) and run update-grub again |

| 02:48 | orkun | t ANY problems. how come networkmanager cant handle it? using wicd does not help either, as it does neither work with "wepkey" nor with wepkey entered. how come there are noooooo tools available on this purpose? i mean, don't they have to simply follow 3 to 4 command-line commands? instead people get confused having to choose between 10 kinds of encryptions hex/ascii etc. i miss the way mac does it by simply asking to enter the protection key, a |
| 02:48 | chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, look at this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=qapplication.h&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=gutsy&arch=i386 |
| 02:48 | wols_ | Perff_last: menu.lst rather |
| 02:48 | mrdinkles | wols_: also, when i put in the other OS and run the installation, it only shows hd1 to install on-- I dont want it to overwrite ubuntu |
| 02:48 | orkun | s routers cannot have both wpa and wep activated. why should the user bother? any solutions to get nm to work with wep encrypted networks. i see some people having that problem. any alternatives to nm? somewhere i read, nm should be used with wext only. best regards and i appreciate your help! |
| 02:48 | kjm | orkun - learn how to be concise |
| 02:48 | wols_ | mrdinkles: that's not our problem but the other OS' problem. ask their support |
| 02:48 | baudolino | nickrud, lol just got it |
| 02:48 | recoy | bazhang: can u tell me how to find my ip cuz im a newbie lol |
| 02:48 | musikgoat | eric http://img212.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshottimcompy386lwp9.png |
| 02:48 | baudolino | nickrud, my default-display-manager file was pointing to /usr/sbin/kdm |
| 02:49 | RenatoSilva | how do I do to clean all messages????? |
| 02:49 | nickrud | baudolino, what did you find? |
| 02:49 | eric | looking now |
| 02:49 | baudolino | nickrud, but 'which kdm' returned /usr/bin/kdm |

| 02:49 | orkun | i apologize |
| 02:49 | wols_ | recoy: ifconfig. won't be the right one if you are behind a router. use http://whatismyip.org then. or wimply do a /whois recoy |
| 02:49 | kjm | RenatoSilba = messages from what/who/where? |
| 02:49 | eric | No, my bootsector is completely blank |
| 02:49 | mrdinkles | wols_: fine, but how can i make a separate partition on ubuntu, that the other os can install on? |
| 02:49 | baudolino | nickrud, and when i changed the default-display-manager file to /usr/bin/kdm its now fine |
| 02:49 | nickrud | baudolino, yup, that is a bug alright. |
| 02:49 | baudolino | nickrud, just wish I knew what triggered it heh |
| 02:49 | wols_ | mrdinkles: with gparted or cfdisk |
| 02:49 | ianq | does anyone know how i can restore the privilege table in mysql on ubuntu? |
| 02:49 | musikgoat | eric, ok this is what a fat32 bootsector should look like |
| 02:49 | chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, and edit the MakeFile and replace "/usr/share/qt3/include" with "/usr/include/qt3/" |
| 02:50 | recoy | wols_: alright ill try it |
| 02:50 | wols_ | eric: consisting of zeros? |
| 02:50 | mrdinkles | wols_: using gparted-- do i need to be unmounted to make a partition? |
| 02:50 | eric | yes wols |
| 02:50 | kjm | trying to share a external drive between OS X and Ubuntu - HFS support in ubuntu is lacking - how is UFS support for read/write? |
| 02:50 | wols_ | eric: then the sdb1 is most likely not formatted |
| 02:50 | mrdinkles | wols_: if its unmounted-- should i use the ubuntu cd, install gparted then unmount ?? |
| 02:50 | eric | i have files on it... thats really wierd |
| 02:50 | musikgoat | why would fdisk see it? |
| 02:50 | baudolino | nickrud, thanks a bunch for the help :) |
| 02:50 | Perff_last | wols_: i changed groot to hd(0,9), uncommented, rerun update-grub - but it reset everything (same menu.lst, and groot back to hd(0,0)) |
| 02:50 | baudolino | wols_, and you ty as well :) |
| 02:50 | NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: I installed that lsb-build-desktop3 package, and it seems to be compiling now |
| 02:50 | musikgoat | eric, do you have another computer? |
| 02:50 | nickrud | baudolino, you mean the hand holding, you fixed it yourself :) |
| 02:51 | NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: just really, really slowly :P |
| 02:51 | wols_ | mrdinkles: what is unmounted? if you create a partition it is from unallocated space you cannot unmount since it was never mountable |
| 02:51 | eric | not here |
| 02:51 | baudolino | nickrud, lol well yeah pretty much :P |
| 02:51 | finchx6 | Anyone?? no help with the sound?? I've been trying to get this working since yesterday afternoon. I'm running Gutsy, and the sound that won't work is a Sigmatel STAC 9200 |
| 02:51 | wols_ | Perff_last: I did NOT say to uncomment it |
| 02:51 | baudolino | nickrud, got me thinking in the right direction :) |
| 02:51 | Perff_last | wols_: ok |
| 02:51 | mrdinkles | wols_: so using gparted-- wilst on ubuntu, i can make a new partition of free space? and then install the other os on that separate partition? |
| 02:51 | Perff_last | wols_ didn't uncomment now. changed. still the same result |
| 02:52 | wols_ | mrdinkles: sure. but the other OS should be able to partition on its own |
| 02:52 | Perff_last | wols_: no, sorry |
| 02:52 | serenityUK | wols_: i think eric said he could see the drive using the livecd? |
| 02:52 | Perff_last | wols_:not completely the same... funny: |
| 02:52 | Perff_last | root (hd0,9) |
| 02:52 | Perff_last | kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash |
| 02:52 | eric | yeah i could see it using the livecd |
| 02:52 | eric | this whole thing doesnt make any sense |
| 02:52 | Perff_last | wols_:root is crazy, I don't have IDE disks |
| 02:52 | wols_ | Perff_last: paste the full groot line as you edited it please |
| 02:52 | mrdinkles | wols: When i attempted to let ubuntu partition itself it overwrote windows, i just dont wanna lose ubuntu =/ |
| 02:53 | Benitito | anybody successfully got the Ipod Nano syncing with ubuntu? (gtkpod / rhythmbox ) ? |
| 02:53 | Perff_last | # groot=(hd0,9) |
| 02:53 | smultron | what's a virtual package (in terms of aptitude's search output) |
| 02:53 | chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, I found the webpage of the software you are compiling. It seems quite simple. making lists of files. |
| 02:53 | wols_ | Perff_last: delete the kopt_2_6=root line |
| 02:53 | NotSoGutsy | chickenFuego :: it seems to be working now :) |
| 02:53 | musikgoat | eric, seems odd, maybe testdisk would help |
| 02:53 | NotSoGutsy | I know it's simple, the version I made didn't work nearly as well as this one seems to, though |
| 02:54 | nantax | im using opera as my main browser (system-preference-preferred application)... i recently installed the gimp help files and when i open it, it pops up in firefox, how do i change this? |
| 02:54 | wols_ | mrdinkles: again, not a ubuntu problem |
| 02:54 | chickenFuego | NotSoGutsy, cool ;-) |
| 02:54 | eric | is that another package? |
| 02:54 | kitche | smultron: it installs other packages it's doesn't have anything in it just installs other ones to make it easier to install more then one really |
| 02:54 | musikgoat | eric http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk |
| 02:54 | Perff_last | wols_: ok |
| 02:54 | Benitito | noone experience with Ipod's ( NANO ) with Ubuntu ? |
| 02:54 | Perff_last | wols_: now I have |
| 02:54 | Perff_last | title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic |

| 02:54 | smultron | kitche: ah, ok. makes sense. do you know what the 'p' and 'c' stand for too? |
| 02:54 | Perff_last | wols_: does it look like it should work? |
| 02:54 | wols_ | Perff_last: how often have you been told not to spam in here? |
| 02:54 | RenatoSilva | !clean |
| 02:54 | ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about clean - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi |
| 02:54 | wols_ | yes it should work |
| 02:55 | RenatoSilva | humm |
| 02:55 | musikgoat | eric you could try running that to recover your bootsector |
| 02:55 | eric | hmm... not sure how to work with tars but ill check the repo's for a copy |
| 02:55 | bascule | RenatoSilva: what messages? |

| 02:56 | UbuntMe | How do i romove a folder |
| 02:56 | musikgoat | but eric, i'm not familiar with that utility, my buddy at work used it to recover his data from an accidently formatted ntfs disk |
| 02:56 | Zoohouse | bascule, now i don't have a kicker... lol |
| 02:56 | UbuntMe | like, if i wanted to remove /usr/lib/vlc/visualization |
| 02:57 | bascule | Zoohouse: alt+f2 -> kicker |
| 02:57 | UbuntMe | how do i remove that from a terminal? |
| 02:57 | musikgoat | UbuntMe: rm -r /usr/folder |
| 02:57 | eric | hmm alright |
| 02:57 | Zoohouse | bascule, alt + f2 doesn't work anymore.. |
| 02:57 | UbuntMe | thanks, merry christmas! |
| 02:57 | chickenFuego | UbuntMe, if the folder is empty: rmdire /mydir |
| 02:57 | UbuntMe | tks! |
| 02:57 | chickenFuego | UbuntMe, if the folder is empty: rmdir /mydir |
| 02:57 | bascule | Zoohouse: oh ... that's problematic, restart desktop |
| 02:57 | Zoohouse | i will try ctr+alt+deleate... |

| 02:59 | Zoohouse | bascule, Everything is back to normal :) |
| 02:59 | happy1 | i tried -a and it rejected it |
| 02:59 | eric | well, ill have to work on this later. thanks wols, musik and serenity and whoever else. |

| 02:59 | bascule | Zoohouse: excellent |
| 02:59 | Lobinho | hello, im getting a weird effect where my cursor will snap to snap to seemingly random places when i close a window or change between windows? any way to get rid of this behavior? |
| 02:59 | musikgoat | good luck eric |
| 02:59 | bascule | Zoohouse: alt+f2 -> compiz --replace |
| 02:59 | chickenFuego | I managed to have a user list in gdm ,, but no default selection. |
| 02:59 | jijutm | hi all, during the past six months, I have successfully migrated our web application dev team to ubuntu.. Now I wish to do the same for the java team also.. what should i look into first |
| 02:59 | eric | thanks |
| 03:00 | baudolino | hey all again, worked out that throwing a link in /home/$USER/.kde/Autostart will cause it to start when I log my account in, is there anywhere I could put it to get it to start when X first fires up (thinking setting up X11 for remote logins) |
| 03:00 | serenityUK | jijutm: there is a new version of netbeans just out.. 6.0 made by sun especially for java dev |
| 03:00 | bascule | jijutm: what editor/IDE do they use |
| 03:00 | jijutm | netbeans |
| 03:00 | chickenFuego | jijutm, I am developping with java on ubuntu. Where is the java team programing on now? |
| 03:00 | jijutm | yea |
| 03:00 | jijutm | all the guys are having exp only on win platforms |
| 03:01 | Notos | hello some one wants to help me se up a Raid0 |
| 03:01 | chickenFuego | jijutm, ok, which ide are they using? |
| 03:01 | bascule | jijutm: should be easy enough for them to use the same IDE :) |
| 03:01 | jijutm | netbeans |
| 03:01 | serenityUK | jijutm: netbeans is for linux too! |
| 03:01 | LetterRip | Hi all, any suggestions for scaling of the distance moved for the mousepointer by the touchpad in a single stroke? |
| 03:01 | bascule | Notos: is that mirror or linear, I forget all the time |
| 03:01 | jijutm | i heard that netbeans is having an integrated tomcat |

| 03:02 | jijutm | will it create prob when run as a user ? |
| 03:02 | chickenFuego | jijutm, I can only say that the eclipse integration is pretty perfect as soon as you know where to select sun java instead of the gcj.. |
| 03:02 | kitche | poppy75: with smbclient |
| 03:02 | Zoohouse | bascule, thanks, it is working now :) |
| 03:02 | Notos | bascule: im not realy sure im just following a guide i found |
| 03:02 | bascule | Zoohouse: welcome |
| 03:02 | musikgoat | bascule: raid0 is striping |
| 03:02 | jijutm | cF: i think i should try both |
| 03:02 | kitche | poppy75: but you can mount it to a directory as well if you wish |
| 03:02 | chickenFuego | It might be the same crap with netbean. gcj by default with ubuntu for licenses reasons. |
| 03:02 | bascule | musikgoat: heh, wrong from me on both counts |
| 03:02 | poppy75 | how do i mount it to a dir? |
| 03:03 | bascule | Notos: what are you trying to achieve? |
| 03:03 | jijutm | poppy75: you use smbclient |

| 03:03 | jijutm | poppy75: mount using smbmount |
| 03:03 | bascule | Notos: that's linear |
| 03:04 | happy1 | question: how to fix mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist ? |
| 03:04 | musikgoat | Notos: for what reason, you are doubling your chances of data loss? |
| 03:04 | Notos | i like my hd tidy |
| 03:04 | musikgoat | ok |
| 03:04 | jijutm | happy1: find your device by checking dmesg |
| 03:04 | qwerty121 | hi all! how can i install a grub splash? |
| 03:04 | musikgoat | Notos: i think jbod is what you want, iirc |
| 03:04 | jijutm | then create a link to that device in /dev; or even better mount the device |
| 03:05 | bascule | Notos: using mdadm is trivially easy, but there will be a need to format both drives after wordis into one volume |
| 03:05 | harushimo | I finally got the dvd playing |
| 03:05 | poppy75 | so to access via terminal i have to mount it manually or add the share to /etc/fstab |

| 03:06 | musikgoat | Notos: if you are wanting it to be easier to recover if a disk goes bad, i would suggest the linear method, jbod not the striping method raid 0 |
| 03:07 | serenityUK | gravemind: right click on space in panel and choose add to panel? i think you want the notification area... network manager will start when u login |
| 03:07 | musikgoat | additionally, you cannot use true raid 0 on two different sized disks |
| 03:07 | gravemind | serenityUK: thanks, |
| 03:08 | finchx6 | so.. i'm taking this as a no?? |
| 03:08 | gravemind | yeah that's in! |
| 03:08 | gravemind | I thought it was spacer |

| 03:15 | nibsa1242b | Hello, I need someone to help with a DVD burning issue. Ubuntu refuses to recognize that there is a blank DVD-R in my burner. I have used normal DVDs, DVD+RWs, and DVD-RWs and DVD-Rs from this same spindle in the past, and tried multiple disks in an attempt to pin point the problem. Any ideas? |
| 03:15 | wols_ | l21logan99: what you are doing. using your brain once in a while really helps |
| 03:15 | poningru | nibsa1242b: that sounds like a dvd driver problem |
| 03:15 | l21logan99 | wols: i appreciate the help and understand that i am pretty bad at this stuff, but i tried doing it under "root" and "sudo: and nothing worked |
| 03:16 | poningru | nibsa1242b: can you burn this type of dvd in the dvd drive in windows? or another os? |
| 03:16 | Notos | musikgoat, so should i desactivate the Raid i set up on the bios? |

| 03:17 | Syco54645 | i just installed gutsy and now any time i go to youtube it says that i need codecs... how can i fix that? |
| 03:17 | l21logan99 | it worked but then the sudo modprobe failed |
| 03:17 | bascule | l21logan99: it won't let you remove a module that is depended upon by others, in lsmod you can see the dependees listed in brackets of a given mod |
| 03:17 | nibsa1242b | poningru: However, I'd rather not reboot just to burn dvd. I don't use windows for much of anything anymore, and I don't know if I currently have dvd burning sw installed. |

| 03:18 | nibsa1242b | poningru: I've tried with k3b & Brassero, both applications I've used in the past. I'm trying to burn from an iso I created earlier today (and burned to a DVD-RW). |

| 03:18 | nickrud | Pici, didn't see your reply to him, sorry |
| 03:19 | poningru | nibsa1242b: can you right click on the iso and do burn to disk? |
| 03:19 | musikgoat | notos, if your mobo has hardware raid, that is different than the LVM software raid I'm discussing |
| 03:19 | poningru | what error does it give? |
| 03:19 | judgement | chickenFuego: well i have a router w/only one network plug in it. i tested out both pc. and they connect to the internet. but when i try to connect to the internet thru this pc it doesnt work |
| 03:19 | Pici | nickrud: Nah, just joking around, thanks :) |
| 03:19 | wols_ | l21logan99: ifocnfig down the interface it currently provide. or simply reboot |

| 03:22 | paladin_ | bascule: doesn't work |
| 03:22 | gravemind | kye: it's emulation |
| 03:22 | gravemind | emulation = bad |
| 03:22 | nickrud | kye, not at all (the directx or opengl ones) |
| 03:23 | bascule | paladin_: run it from a shell instead of f2, see if there is any output |
| 03:23 | ogre | poningru:* well i guess nm-applet is working I just cant see any wireless connections |
| 03:23 | kye | thank you |
| 03:23 | musikgoat | Notos: there is hardware raid, which you seem to have on your mobo, and there is the software raid we were discussing, the hardware raid would have nothing to do with ubuntu and you have to set that up within the BIOS or raid utilities |
| 03:23 | Ljorring | it didn't do it... |
| 03:23 | nibsa1242b | poningru: I've got gnome baker, I'm trying to figure out how to use it to burn an iso. |
| 03:23 | judgement | its not routing. i'm just trying to share the connection of this computer w/another computer |
| 03:23 | Ljorring | when I type 'fglrxinfo' in console, it logs out |
| 03:23 | nickrud | Ljorring, ok. Do you have any compiz effects working? |
| 03:24 | nickrud | logs out? you mean the terminal closes ? |
| 03:24 | bascule | judgement: you need to setup a packet forwarding firewall |
| 03:24 | chickenFuego | judgement, you can do that with iptable and ipchain... |
| 03:24 | Ljorring | no, my whole interface is running graphically 'slow', like graphics is using no drivers |
| 03:24 | ogre | nm-applet isnt showing me my wireless connections. any idea how to fix it? |
| 03:24 | nibsa1242b | poningru: ok, I found the option and tried to burn it and it said ":-( /dev/hda: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0" |

| 03:26 | nibsa1242b | ogre: if you are on a laptop, make sure the wireless card is turned on |
| 03:26 | bascule | ogre: is the wi-fi switched on. just a thought |
| 03:27 | paladin__ | bascule: sorry, just needed some time i guess "** Message: <information> You are now connected to the wired network." |
| 03:27 | tazz | Pici, nickrud so who has the responisebility of updating a perticular package? The entire MOTU team? |
| 03:27 | ogre | nibsa1242b:* bascule I dont have a switch to turn it off on my lappy |

| 03:28 | thor | . |
| 03:28 | Ljorring | the result : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49106/ |
| 03:28 | nickrud | Ljorring, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide , start up with where it talks about blacklisting the old fglrx. |
| 03:28 | bazhang | n3rdboi: 5.04? that is no longer supported |
| 03:28 | IdleOne | !info curl edgy |
| 03:28 | judgement | chickenFuego & bascule: what do we call this kind of configuration so i can search for solutions online? |
| 03:28 | nibsa1242b | ogre: you don't have an FN+(some key) combo that turns it on and off? or a wireless light somewhere? (if its a built in card that is normally standard) |

| 03:28 | Notos | musikgoat, yes i know but aparently i have to set up it with dmraid as this guide states http://wiki.eyermonkey.com/My_Ubuntu_(7.10)_Installation |
| 03:28 | yimmmy | could some one throw me a compiz instalation guied? |
| 03:28 | chickenFuego | n3rdboi, for packages issues: check http://packages.ubuntu.com |

| 03:29 | Ljorring | I have been on that exact guide for some hours now... |

| 03:29 | nickrud | tazz, how they do it internally, I'm not sure. I'm sure they allocate the work, but you'd be better off asking those details on #ubuntu-motu |
| 03:29 | serenityUK | yimmmy: goto http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/ and look at the howto/tutorial section |
| 03:29 | judgement | bascule: this is to configure sharing of internet connection berween two pcs? |
| 03:29 | chickenFuego | judgement, google something like: "two computers iptable howto" |
| 03:29 | yimmmy | thanks bud |
| 03:30 | serenityUK | yimmmy: they have an installation section actually too |
| 03:30 | nibsa1242b | ogre: Interesting, I've never seen a lappy with built-in wireless without a light. does it report as hardware present? |

| 03:30 | serenityUK | judgement: happy new year |
| 03:31 | Ljorring | yes |
| 03:31 | Ljorring | from the package manager |
| 03:31 | nickrud | ok, you definitely don't need that with the 8.42.x drivers |
| 03:31 | judgement | & a happy new years! :) |
| 03:31 | bascule | judgement: yeah, I am googling for something useful |
| 03:31 | chickenFuego | u welcome judgement |
| 03:31 | nibsa1242b | ogre: I can't remember. I'd look it up for you, but I'm sure someone else can field it faster. I'm trying to solve my own problem right now. |
| 03:31 | paladin__ | bascule: do you think i would have to use ndiswrapper? |
| 03:32 | ogre | nibsa1242b:* i guess i do have a wireless light & its on |
| 03:32 | nickrud | Ljorring, that's the important point of those drivers. For me, their performance sucks so I went back to 8.37.6 from ubuntu |
| 03:33 | bascule | paladin__: well if you have a wifi0 or somw wifi dev showing no, else yes |
| 03:33 | nibsa1242b | ogre: ok well thats pretty much the extent of my suggestion... other then that make sure your router broadcasts the SSID... generally makes it easier to find for wireless cards |

| 03:48 | Ljorring | nickrud: done. status: no crash/error |
| 03:48 | Rico | hi |
| 03:48 | Vaalth | well thank you for your help :) |
| 03:48 | thor | Vaalth word2003 xml is supported, but I don't think doc is |
| 03:48 | Syco54645 | serenityUK, i did, i find them to be hard to search because they are too cluttered. i had searched for about 20 minutes before i came into here. |
| 03:49 | nickrud | Ljorring, ok, now sudo modprobe fglrx . After that, log out and back in, and do the fglrxinfo again |
| 03:49 | Lennalf | I'm setting up ubuntu for the first time on a home theatre PC... I am not sure how to get ubuntu to recognize my USB RF wireless keyboard... |
| 03:49 | Lennalf | can anybody help? |
| 03:49 | nickrud | Ljorring, for fun, hit ctl-alt-backspace while you're logged out |
| 03:49 | Syco54645 | serenityUK, been looking for why the show desktop in the compiz doesnt work either. i tried to set it to a hot corner to no avail... it will show my application windows, just not the desktop |
| 03:49 | bascule | bazhang: I really am of the opinion that sending html docs to people is a way ahead for all compatibility issues |
| 03:49 | Ljorring | nickrud: just to understand a tiny bit... the 'modprobe fglrx' says 'use this driver', mkay? |
| 03:49 | Ljorring | nickrud: mkay ^ |
| 03:49 | bazhang | bascule: agreed |
| 03:50 | nickrud | Ljorring, not quite. It means use this kernel module, which the driver will make use of |
| 03:50 | bazhang | Lennalf: does it require certain drivers--try plugging it in |
| 03:50 | Ljorring | nickrud: ah, ok |
| 03:50 | Lennalf | bazhang: it comes with drivers on a CD, but it was plug-and-play on Windows XP |
| 03:51 | bazhang | Lennalf: plug in the base station and see if it works |
| 03:51 | nickrud | ok, do the fglrxinfo and hope for ati on the driver |
| 03:51 | Syco54645 | serenityUK, well the flash player is fixed. thanks again |
| 03:51 | Lennalf | sorry, base station? |
| 03:51 | Ljorring | nickrud: haha, what was that double ctrl+alt+backspace... 'the greeter thing crashed....' it popped up ^^ |
| 03:51 | Ljorring | nickrud: done* |
| 03:51 | nickrud | Ljorring, that's KIll X Now |
| 03:52 | Lennalf | bazhang: sorry, base station? |
| 03:52 | sonja | how do i rename the keyboards in ubuntu? halp |
| 03:52 | Ljorring | nickrud: ahh... |
| 03:52 | serenityUK | Syco54645: nice one.... trying compiz here.. expo works if i set to top left corner bu not show deesktop hmmmm |
| 03:52 | nickrud | Ljorring, what about the last line of fglrx |
| 03:52 | Ljorring | nickrud: OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1) |
| 03:52 | bazhang | Lennalf: how does the wireless connect? to the cpu? likely to a dongle that you plug into a usb port, yes? |
| 03:52 | nickrud | Not good. |
| 03:52 | Ljorring | nickrud: damn.. |
| 03:53 | Lennalf | bazhang: yes it is a USB dongle. It is listed in my hardware information screen |
| 03:53 | Syco54645 | serenityUK, that is the same boat i am in... finding all of these annoyances. still better than windows though, linux has been for me for 7 years now. windows free! WOOOOOOOO! At any rate, I cannot figure out why the show desktop does not work. |
| 03:53 | chickenFuego | sonja, on the top right, click "System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts" |
| 03:53 | Syco54645 | serenityUK, the button on the panel works but not the hot corners nor the key combo |
| 03:53 | nickrud | Ljorring, ok, put on the pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf , /var/log/Xorg.0.log , the output of lspci | grep -i vga |
| 03:53 | Ljorring | nickrud: on it |
| 03:54 | Lennalf | bazhang: It sees a Wireless Keyboard/Mouse in my USB UHCI Controller #2 |
| 03:54 | sonja | chickenFuego: ok i'm there, how do i rename them now? |
| 03:54 | bazhang | Lennalf: try syncing it with the keyboard--there should be buttons on both base station and keyboard that may need to be pressed simultaneously |
| 03:54 | serenityUK | Syco54645: hmmm the button on the panel gives me a nice animation too.. they go to all 4 corners |
| 03:54 | nickrud | Ljorring, when you did that aptitude install run, did it talk about unpacking and setting up the packages? |
| 03:54 | sonja | for example if i pick U.S. English Dvorak and I want to just rename it to Dvorak |
| 03:54 | sonja | and U.S. English rename it to Qwerty |
| 03:54 | Lennalf | bazhang: hmm okay, I'll look... |
| 03:54 | Syco54645 | serenityUK, so that means that it works, just not correctly. i mean that is what it should do |
| 03:55 | bazhang | Lennalf: so it works now? if it is recognized then just try using it--othewise try the sync |
| 03:55 | sonja | so when i go and switch between keyboards it shows the name, rather than swapping between USA and USA2 |
| 03:55 | DARKGuy | Does anybody knows a good player that can support shoutcast and uses WinAmp skins? |
| 03:55 | Lennalf | bazhang: I'll try to sync... the button isn't clear.... one says ID... |
| 03:55 | chickenFuego | sonja, click on the +Add button and you can select the keyboards you want from a huge list. |
| 03:55 | Ljorring | nickrud: I dont remember it so.. but not sure |
| 03:55 | maverickAlex | DARKGuy: xmms |
| 03:55 | serenityUK | Syco54645: ah.... |
| 03:55 | bazhang | DARKGuy: winamp? :} |
| 03:55 | serenityUK | Syco54645: crtl-alt-D ! |
| 03:55 | sonja | chickenFuego: yes i added the ones i want. i want to rename them now. |
| 03:55 | DARKGuy | maverickAlex: but, does it have shoutcast integrated like BMPx? |
| 03:56 | DARKGuy | bazhang: lol yes, but emulating it through WINE is just silly :p |
| 03:56 | nickrud | Ljorring, run it again , you can do ctl-r fglrx to search back in the terminal for the command |
| 03:56 | maverickAlex | DARKGuy: it can stream shoutcast but i don't know if its like BMPx |
| 03:56 | Lennalf | bazhang: no luck yet. Thanks for your help btw :) |
| 03:56 | Syco54645 | serenityUK, well it doesnt work if i try to set it to something. and the hot corner does not work for that matter. that is what i really want. |
| 03:56 | Ljorring | ok |
| 03:56 | DARKGuy | maverickAlex: well I guess I'll give it a try, thanks for the suggestion :p |
| 03:56 | serenityUK | Syco54645: if you goto general settings instead of the showdesktop plugin..... then actions... there is "Hide all windows and focus desktop" set to crtl-alt-D |
| 03:57 | bazhang | DARKGuy: not sure about the skins, but amarok/rhythmbox should support shoutcast |
| 03:57 | Ljorring | xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49110/ |

| 03:57 | Ljorring | nickrud: xorg.log.0 : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49111/ |
| 03:57 | maverickAlex | DARKGuy: check out streamtuner |
| 03:57 | Syco54645 | serenityUK, what tool are you using. i am using the gldesktop thing because the other is way too bloated for my tastes |

| 03:57 | bascule | nadio: a good and loving one |
| 03:57 | Lennalf | bazhang: It is the SpecResearch 01027; although the box actually says X-Gene :-P |
| 03:57 | DARKGuy | bazhang: I've tried rhythmbox and it doesn't, dunno about Amarok yet - maverickAlex: Okay I will |
| 03:58 | serenityUK | Syco54645: no i'm using the advanced one |
| 03:58 | serenityUK | Syco54645: still not triggering with corner but works on keyboard |
| 03:58 | nickrud | Ljorring, need to change the xorg.conf. do this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , when it's done , sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf , and look for ati. Replace with fgrlx |
| 03:58 | nadio | bascule: for kernel configuration, I doubt there is one. |
| 03:58 | Syco54645 | serenityUK, well that one krunks my settings. i prefer the gldesktop. at any rate, i think it may be a bug. |
| 03:59 | bascule | nadio: well yoy can built x86_64 if you want |
| 03:59 | Syco54645 | serenityUK, the ctrl alt d isnt that bad to have to hit, i just miss my hot corners (has a mac at work) |

| 04:00 | Ljorring | nickrud: done |

| 04:01 | bazhang | Lennalf: the writer of that article seems to suggest that it is no prob with ubuntu |
| 04:02 | Ljorring | nickrud: I found two files. I am to manually remove them? |
| 04:02 | bascule | paxton: tried xorg.conf changes, dpkg-reconfigureand all that stuff? |
| 04:02 | nickrud | Ljorring, yes. Once we're sure we've gotten rid of any possible bad one, we'll reinstall the right one |
| 04:02 | bazhang | mrdinkles: have you seen the GRUB factoid? |
| 04:02 | Ljorring | nickrud: sounds good to me :) |
| 04:02 | Ljorring | nickrud: on it |
| 04:02 | paxton | Yes, I have changed xorg.conf to driver via |
| 04:03 | paxton | and it boots xwindow, but no higher resolutions |
| 04:03 | mrdinkles | bazhang: nope, what is it? |
| 04:03 | paxton | it only goes to 800 x 600 and lower |
| 04:03 | Ljorring | nickrud: done |

| 04:03 | bascule | paxton: have you added higher resolutions on the relevent sections of xorg? |
| 04:03 | Lennalf | bazhang: yeah... hmm :( I guess I'll just keep tinkering. Thanks for the help though. |
| 04:03 | Ljorring | nickrud: I am to do the sudoapt on the fglrx now? |
| 04:03 | paxton | i dont think so |
| 04:03 | nickrud | Ljorring, sudo aptitude reinstall xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) libgl1-mesa |
| 04:03 | paxton | How could I do that? |
| 04:03 | bascule | paxton: that's what to do then |
| === boy is now known as navagosTM |
| 04:04 | paxton | How? |
| 04:04 | nickrud | Ljorring, watch for the unpacking and setting up |
| 04:04 | mrdinkles | is ubotu a bot? |
| 04:04 | bazhang | lennalf was it plugged in when you started up? just a thought |

| 04:05 | Jack_Sparrow | paxton: If you paste your xorg into the pastebin (Not into this channel) and give the link it will help them help you |
| 04:05 | bascule | paxton: paste /etc/X11/xorg.conf to some pastebin |
| 04:06 | paxton | whats a pastebin? |
| 04:06 | bascule | !pastebin | paxton |
| 04:06 | ubotu | paxton: 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) |

| 04:11 | paxton | then what |
| 04:11 | nickrud | Ljorring, I hate those ati installers. |
| 04:11 | bazhang | sqlnoob: for apache? |
| 04:11 | Ljorring | nickrud: I think.. I feel alike hehe |
| 04:11 | serenityUK | jwpaine_: server install is the smallest.. about 500mb, just command line no X |
| 04:11 | Jack_Sparrow | paxton: Laptop? |
| 04:11 | tsukasa_ | hey guys, anyone know of something that i can install to host aim to a webserver |

I also ran aplay -l, and from what i read my results were supposedly what they should, as far as i had r |

| 04:13 | Ljorring | nickrud: ok, i will try some console stuff meanwhile |
| 04:13 | Ahmuck | how do i get apt to use a local repository? |
| 04:13 | sqlnoob | bazhang: it's dual boot, from windows it works fine, from ubuntu it doesnt |
| 04:14 | Jack_Sparrow | paxton: Do you have a link to your laptop secs.. as in refresh rate for v & h |
| 04:14 | bazhang | sqlnoob: open a terminal and type lspci--that should give the card make and model --just tell me dont paste here |
| 04:14 | serenityUK | jwpaine_: the alternate install disk is without lice cd but still fullsize .iso im afraid |
| 04:14 | paxton | No I do not, I know the screen is 1024 X 768 at 60 hertz |
| 04:14 | serenityUK | jwpaine_: *liveCD... |
| 04:15 | serenityUK | jwpaine_: alternate is text mode installer for lower memory etc |
| 04:15 | CarlFK | is "packages have been kept back: linux-headers-generic" causing "libGLcore.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv000040gl " ? http://dpaste.com/28716/ |
| 04:15 | jwpaine_ | serenityUK: ok.. so the alt install disk: thanks |
| 04:15 | sqlnoob | bazhang: broadcom mini-PCI |
| 04:15 | bazhang | sqlnoob: broadcom 4311? |
| 04:15 | serenityUK | jwpaine_: yes it is recommended for less than 256.. also gives more control over install |
| 04:15 | bascule | CarlFK: no a broken nvidia driver is causing that |
| 04:16 | Jack_Sparrow | paxton: tell it vesa mode 1024 max res and if asked 16 bit depth |
| 04:16 | paxton | wait |

| 04:17 | mutable | bascule: ok, column size (?) |
| 04:17 | bascule | mutable: you want to see more chars per column? If so I dunnin if you can |
| 04:18 | paxton | is that xorg.conf safe to reboot the xwindow session with? |
| 04:18 | nickrud | Ljorring, put up your xorg.conf again, and the output of aptitude search fglrx and aptitude search xserver-xorg-video-ati |
| 04:18 | paxton | or should I hurry up and restore the origional |
| 04:18 | bascule | mutable: except with a bigger console :) |

| 04:20 | sqlnoob | bazhang: the 4311? how do u know that? i don't see that in the lspci, im so noob at this |
| 04:20 | musikgoat | nn Jack_Sparrow i'm about to watch pirates 3, is it worth it ^_^ |
| 04:20 | Delvien | Ok.. Gutsy laptop , running an e100 intel ethernet card, the link goes up and down and most times I do not have internet/networking |
| 04:20 | semaja2 | anyone have any ideas on why applications like tuxpaint and gcompris wont load *they start to load in the terminal but stop* but other applications like blackjack work fine |
| 04:20 | Extravert | bazhang: lol |
| === kahrytan_ is now known as kahrytan |
| 04:21 | sqlnoob | bazhang: thanks tho! I'm going to go and read on what you sent me |
| 04:21 | Jack_Sparrow | musikgoat: Very much so... |
| 04:21 | Extravert | bazhang: you know how to use GPG? |
| 04:21 | musikgoat | hehe |
| 04:21 | bazhang | sqlnoob: no worries :} |
| 04:21 | Ljorring | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49117/ <--- search xserver-xorg-video-ati |
| 04:21 | bazhang | Extravert: that is your question? yes I do |
| 04:21 | semaja2 | anyone? |
| 04:21 | hockeyfan5000 | semaja2: I am not sure, my son uses tuxpaint and he is 3 and never has any problems |
| 04:21 | sqlnoob | bazhang: mine is a 1720 Inspiron, does it work the same way? that's why i said it's a 4401 |
| 04:21 | Extravert | bazhang: gpg doesnt work in the console so how else could I use it? |
| 04:22 | semaja2 | it was working fine, but then today it wont work :S |
| 04:22 | musikgoat | anyone else notice the quality difference in playing a dvd in ubuntu vs windows? |
| 04:22 | nickrud | Ljorring, I found out that your 9600 has a bug that sometimes shows up when using the ati driver. |
| 04:22 | kahrytan | musikgoat➲ which one is better? |
| 04:22 | hockeyfan5000 | musikgoat I havent seen any |
| 04:22 | Extravert | bazhang: I tried decrypting my file and the console keeps jamming up |
| 04:22 | nickrud | Ljorring, so, run restricted-manager , and tell it to install the restricted ati driver |
| 04:22 | bascule | CarlFK: seems to be no downgrade facility, well no easy way, perhaps you need to update everything? |
| 04:22 | musikgoat | my quality of dvd's in totem-xine is pretty fuzzy |
| 04:22 | Ljorring | nickrud: ok, I will disable, then re-enable it |
| 04:23 | JensenDied | so, kernel upgrade issue, one worked fine, one did not. |
| 04:23 | Ljorring | nickrud: thats the procedure? |
| 04:23 | hockeyfan5000 | musikgoat, you sure your using the right video driver? |
| 04:23 | Extravert | bazhang: it is fixed in the newer versions but im just wondering if theres a way around it |
| 04:23 | kahrytan | musikgoat➲ did you try vlc? |
| 04:23 | bazhang | http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome/gpgp Extravert; also http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Chip/3708/gpgp/gpgp.html |
| 04:23 | nickrud | Ljorring, run restricted-manager in a terminal, it should have a checkbox for using the restricted driver |
| 04:23 | musikgoat | let me install that, i didn't give it a try, that should work |
| 04:23 | CarlFK | bascule: um... isn't that was "sudo apt-get upgrade" does? |
| 04:23 | musikgoat | thanks kahrytan |
| 04:23 | kahrytan | musikgoat➲ I dont have an dvds myself :( |
| 04:23 | Ljorring | nickrud: oh, its not checked.. I will check the proprietary driver now |
| 04:24 | bascule | CarlFK: yeah, well it seems to be a bug, is this when you run a game? |
| 04:24 | bazhang | sqlnoob: 4401 is the ethernet driver |
| 04:24 | Ljorring | nickrud: 'needs a computer restart' <-- brb |
| 04:24 | earlmred | hmm, off my sw raid5 w/ 4 7200.10 500GB drives, i'm getting 136MB/s reads, 56MB/s writes ... |
| 04:24 | earlmred | does that seem right? |
| 04:24 | kahrytan | musikgoat➲ but keep in mine. Linux uses libdvdcss2 .. ie a crack to css. |
| 04:24 | sqlnoob | bazhang: oh yeah my bad, sorry |
| 04:24 | musikgoat | thanks |
| 04:25 | CarlFK | bascule: it's when X starts |
| 04:25 | bascule | CarlFK: nasty |
| 04:25 | Extravert | bazhang: so I have to install the new version? |
| 04:25 | bazhang | Extravert: are you on Gutsy? |
| 04:25 | Extravert | bazhang: ya |
| * musikgoat <3 vlc!! thanks kahrytan |
| 04:26 | bazhang | Extravert: that is the front end, ie the gui |
| 04:26 | Extravert | bazhang: oh thanks =) |
| 04:26 | kahrytan | musikgoat➲ I love vlc too. plays most codecs thrown at it. no need to install gstreamer codecs. |
| 04:26 | bazhang | Extravert: no worries ;} |
| 04:27 | nickrud | vlc runs really nice for dvd's as well. Can't believe I only started using it a few months ago |
| 04:27 | Delvien | Ok.. Gutsy laptop , running an e100 intel ethernet card, the link goes up and down and most times I do not have internet/networking, I cant seem to get internet nor networking to work correctly on this laptop, anyone have an idea |
| 04:27 | alain | hi guys.. got this problem.. i already installed the restricted driver but still cant to display .. it works b4 but after i installed the nvidia driver from nvidia website cant make it work again |
| 04:27 | bascule | CarlFK: I read the paste,only thing for now is to go back to nv driver in xorg.conf |
| 04:27 | Ljorring | nickrud: now I got my 1280z1024 up running again |
| 04:27 | hockeyfan5000 | Delvien: Did you try to manually set a static IP address? |
| 04:27 | bazhang | Delvien: could it be a router issue? |
| 04:27 | nickrud | Ljorring, what does fglrxinfo say? |
| 04:27 | Ljorring | nickrud: I have sensed a difference now. the graphics seem to run smoother |
| 04:28 | jwpaine_ | I'm surprised with how popular Ubuntu is, that they don't have a netinstall :( |
| 04:28 | Delvien | hocketfan5000 actually trying that now, :P |
| 04:28 | Ljorring | nickrud: OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6) |
| 04:28 | nickrud | Ljorring, sucess! |
| 04:28 | Ljorring | nickrud: great stuff xD |
| 04:28 | Delvien | bazhang router is fine, other 2-3 computers are accessing the internet and pinging eachother |
| 04:28 | JensenDied | kernel seems to not be mounting /proc and failing on others after that |
| 04:28 | chickenFuego | Delvien, you might try "sudo echo 'blacklist intel_rng' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistand reboot. |
| 04:28 | nickrud | Ljorring, now, sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager emerald . Log out and back in |
| 04:29 | bazhang | Delvien: you using the network manager? or via command line |
| 04:29 | Delvien | bazhang net manager |
| 04:29 | chickenFuego | Delvien, you might try "sudo echo 'blacklist intel_rng' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistand" reboot. |
| 04:29 | Delvien | chickenfuego is that a known issue with that card or something? |
| 04:29 | Ljorring | nickrud: whats with the emerald? |
| 04:29 | chickenFuego | Delvien, with the two >> !!! |
| 04:29 | chrisn_ | hey |
| 04:29 | CarlFK | bascule: nv doesn't error, but now I don't get any output on the svideo port |
| 04:29 | nickrud | Ljorring, it's a pretty window decorator, it'll be in the preferences menu |
| 04:29 | Ljorring | nickrud: I have never had that package installed I can see |
| 04:29 | Ljorring | nickrud: nice :) |
| 04:29 | bazhang | Delvien: is this the computer you are on now? if so, how are you connected; if not, can you access that computer now |
| 04:29 | Ljorring | nickrud: relogging |
| 04:30 | Delvien | bazhang no its another laptop i have connected to ethernet |
| 04:30 | chickenFuego | Delvien, some ethernet wireless card on laptop have a problem with this (intel), It was making mycard hanging on boot and sometimes unstable. |
| 04:30 | Delvien | bazhang yes i can access it |
| 04:30 | bascule | CarlFK: yeah, it's a workaround not a fix, a fix is way beyond me, but you could try a manual nvidia install with their own package |
| 04:30 | bazhang | Delvien: open network, wep, wpa, wpa2 what |
| 04:30 | Ljorring | nickrud: now the graphics seem slow again... :S |
| 04:30 | bascule | CarlFK: after removing the ubunto one fo course |
| 04:31 | Delvien | bazhang its not wireless, its ethernet |
| 04:31 | bazhang | Ljorring: turn off compiz :} |
| 04:31 | nickrud | Ljorring, do alt-f2 compiz --replace && emerald --replace |
| 04:31 | nickrud | bazhang, ;p |
| 04:31 | Ljorring | nickrud: but the fglrx says OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6) |
| 04:31 | bazhang | Delvien: ethernet wont work? I thought this was a wireless question... |
| 04:31 | Delvien | bazhang nope, ethernet |
| 04:31 | chickenFuego | Delvien, if you have the same message on boot with your intel network card... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/102982 |
| 04:32 | Ljorring | nickrud: done |
| 04:32 | bazhang | Delvien: do you start up the computer with the ethernet cable plugged in, or plug it in after start up |
| 04:32 | Extravert | bazhang: the app is so unstable. Just crashed and it doesnt import my key files |
| 04:32 | nickrud | Ljorring, you should have different window borders |
| 04:32 | Ljorring | nickrud: the settings work xD though I feel some lag |
| 04:32 | Ljorring | nickrud: yep, I got some nasty red borders ^^ |
| 04:33 | Delvien | bazhang with it already plugged in |
| 04:33 | Ljorring | nickrud: there is something, that my adapter doesnt like. I will have to investigate that |
| 04:33 | Ljorring | nickrud: but else it seems as if the compiz is working |
| 04:33 | bazhang | Extravert: you want to import key files? from a trusted source? how about wget |
| 04:33 | nickrud | Ljorring, it's even worse with the new ati drivers. Go to the emerald preference, pick a different one. then alt-f2 emerald --replace to change it |
| 04:33 | Extravert | bazhang: its on my computer |
| 04:34 | bazhang | Extravert: you want to import keys? |
| 04:34 | Ahmuck | if i want to use an aptoncd backup for my packages, can i just insert a cdrom line in my sources.list? |
| 04:34 | Extravert | bazhang: yes |
| 04:34 | bazhang | Extravert: from a trusted source? |
| 04:34 | Extravert | bazhang: /.gnupg/secring.gpg |
| 04:35 | bazhang | Extravert: import means from an outside source, right? |
| 04:35 | bascule | Ahmuck: there is a way to do it specifically, can't remeber off hand bit synaptics/adept allow you to do this throught the sources options |
| 04:35 | Ljorring | nickrud: some of the other emerald borders doesnt like it |
| 04:35 | Ljorring | nickrud: can I for debugging turn of emerald? |
| 04:36 | Extravert | bazhang: "Bad fd number" |
| 04:36 | Delvien | chickenFuego that is for an ethernet card right? |
| 04:36 | nickrud | Ljorring, it's probable that there's some file left over from the ati installer, I don't know where though |
| 04:37 | bazhang | http://www.stillhq.com/extracted/gnupg-api/doc/faq.html Extravert take a read of that |
| 04:37 | chickenFuego | no the FWH bug was for wireless intel card, but it is related to the random numbers generator or so.. might be also on yours? Check the if you get the FWH error message on bootmaybe? |
| 04:37 | Ljorring | nickrud: the emerrald effect is cool :) |
| === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 |
| 04:37 | Extravert | bazhang: dead link =( |
| 04:37 | nickrud | Ljorring, yes, you can alter the themes yourself too |
| 04:37 | Ljorring | nickrud: I have gotten compiz to work now, and I am truly thankful for your time, nickrud |
| 04:38 | Ljorring | nickrud: but there is something crreating huge lag in the interface |
| 04:38 | Ljorring | nickrud: I will investigate that matter tomorrow... |
| 04:38 | Extravert | bazhang: I should install 1.4.8 then |
| 04:38 | nickrud | Ljorring, like I said, something left over most likely |
| 04:38 | verb3k | The new flash plguin is really slow, can anyboy tell me how to get the older version? |
| 04:38 | bazhang | http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/faqs.html Extravert |
| 04:38 | Ljorring | nickrud: do you know how to find it? |
| 04:39 | stuporglu1 | Anyone know what font Gvim uses by default? |
| 04:39 | bascule | some mono space |
| 04:39 | Old_Gregg | Hello. I'm getting no sound on my interweb browser. |
| 04:39 | stuporglu1 | bascule: yeah, I've got 100+ fonts on my system though and I can't find which one it is :-/ |
| 04:40 | nickrud | Ljorring, not off the top of my head |
| 04:40 | chickenFuego | Old_Gregg, within a flash video in your browser, you might have to right-click on it and select "allow access to ..." |
| 04:40 | Ljorring | nickrud: mkay |
| 04:40 | nickrud | Ljorring, if nothing else, you've learned the danger of installing stuff that's not in a deb package :) |
| 04:41 | interceptor | #ubuntu-ru |
| 04:41 | verb3k | please anybody.....The new flash plugin is really slow, can anyboy tell me how to get the older version? |
| 04:41 | Old_Gregg | chickenfuego: no luck |
| 04:41 | Delvien | chickenFuego heres the error "FWH not detected" |
| 04:42 | sonja | how do i install a bunch of TTF fonts i have on another hard drive to my ubuntu? |
| 04:42 | sonja | can i drag and drop them somewhere? |
| 04:42 | Ljorring | nickrud: yes, ofc :) and I have gotten smarter on the driver area |
| 04:42 | Notos | hai !!! quick question what kernel should i install for a Intel Q6600 *(Quad Core) |
| 04:42 | chickenFuego | Delvien, do you have a lag at boot when it is displaying that? |
| 04:42 | Oddie_grove | #manado |
| 04:42 | Dr_willis | sonja, in the fonts:// or fonts:/ dir is one way. |
| 04:42 | sonja | okay |
| 04:42 | Ljorring | nickrud: what I really would miss in ubuntu, is an interface from where you could manage all the driver issues |
| 04:42 | sonja | i'll hunt for that dir |
| 04:43 | Ashfire908 | Notos, standard? |
| 04:43 | Delvien | chickenFuego not noticable, but lanchpad is telling me to blacklist intel_nrg so.. |
| 04:43 | Dr_willis | sonja, enter it in the file manager. |
| 04:43 | Oddie_grove | #kristen |
| 04:43 | chickenFuego | lauchpad?? |
| 04:43 | anton___ | Hey, I'm wondering if I could partition my drive post-installation, and then install windows on that new partition...? |
| 04:43 | Ljorring | nickrud: cause you have to know the location of all the files & commands related to a driver issue |
| 04:43 | Old_Gregg | I have sound on World of Warcraft and up until tonight had sound on the internet |
| 04:43 | Notos | Ashfire908, no im using Debootstarp as in the FakeRaid Howto |
| 04:43 | Ljorring | nickrud: but thx for ur help :) I will surf around a bit |
| 04:44 | nickrud | Ljorring, for nearly every driver, it's all automated. Just the ones from manufacturers that won't release specs are problematic |
| 04:44 | ifireball | sonja: System->Preferences->Fonts->Details->Go to Fonts Folder |
| 04:44 | sonja | how do i open this file manager? |
| 04:44 | sonja | Dr_willis? |
| 04:44 | Ashfire908 | notos: ? idk then |
| 04:44 | Ljorring | nickrud: perhaps its also just me |
| 04:44 | Ljorring | nickrud: im new to ubuntu |
| 04:44 | signal9 | After an update this morning, including a new kernel and headers, I can no longer load the nvidia graphics drivier |
| 04:44 | ultraz | sonja where are you from ? |
| 04:45 | sonja | Toronto |
| 04:45 | nickrud | Ljorring, so it's impractical to build handlers for unknown crap. No, it was that ati driver install |
| 04:45 | Notos | Ashfire908: well i think i will go with the apt-get linux-386 :( |
| 04:45 | sonja | (Canadia) |
| 04:45 | ultraz | nice name ... |
| 04:45 | kajsdklajsd | hello, how can i access the folder /Users/My Documents/ from an ubuntu livecd, i can see any other folder but some of the folders in /Users/My Documents/, is there anyway of jumping over the permissions? (sorry if this question is out of place) |
| 04:45 | Nergar | hello |
| 04:45 | sonja | you, ultraz? |
| 04:45 | nickrud | signal9, are you using the ones from nvidia? |
| 04:45 | Dr_willis | sonja, the normal gnome file manager.. you use it every time ya click on a directory icon... type in fonts:/ in the address |
| 04:45 | ultraz | Serbia |
| 04:45 | hamadooo | hi guys |
| 04:45 | paxton | Ok, that was close |
| 04:45 | sonja | ok thanks willis |
| * nickrud is a masochist |
| 04:46 | anton___ | any way to make a partition post-installation? and then install another os on that partition... |
| 04:46 | signal9 | yes, though installed using the restricted driver manager |
| 04:46 | Ashfire908 | notos: oh. is your sys a 64-bit? |
| 04:46 | paxton | i tried using the vesa driver, and It kept saying there was an xwindow running allready |
| 04:46 | Dr_willis | sonja, installing/removing fonts under linux is so much nicer then how windows does it. :) |
| 04:46 | Delvien | chickenfuego by blacklisting that it halfed my boot time, so i guess it was slowing it down lol |
| 04:46 | Nergar | i have a problem, i updated my system today (i saw some linux headers in the updates), restarted and now it wont boot. Grub says: File not found |
| 04:46 | hamadooo | i got an error msg everytime i open the ubuntu it's about the setting deamon ..... and when i restart the computer everything goes alright |
| 04:46 | chickenFuego | Delvien, so and is your card stable now?? |
| 04:46 | paxton | It kept saying that so i changed the xorg.conf back to via driver and it booted, but still in low res |
| 04:46 | ultraz | Dr_willis: never did it, i will give it a try |
| 04:47 | soulsucker | Hi all... i have a minor issue..I just installed 64 bit version of ubuntu... and I can not get flash videos to play in firefox... swf and flash player and java are installed..any suggestions...? |
| 04:47 | Notos | Ashfire908: good question but i dont think so as i am runing the x86 live cd |
| 04:47 | Delvien | chickenfuego looks like it |
| 04:47 | Delvien | chickenfuego ill come back if its not :) |
| 04:47 | paxton | it also poped up a window when I stared up Ubuntu saying it was in low graphics mode |
| 04:47 | Ashfire908 | notos: then the 386 is fine. |
| 04:47 | Ashfire908 | notos: *the 386 is fine. |
| 04:47 | nickrud | signal9, then you're using the ubuntu ones. My tidbit wouldn't help, sorry |
| 04:47 | paxton | I changed it to a higher resolution, tested it, and it worked |
| 04:47 | hamadooo | i got an error msg everytime i open the ubuntu it's about the setting deamon ..... and when i restart the computer everything goes alright? |
| 04:47 | paxton | then it went back to 800 by 600 |
| 04:47 | paxton | now i am lost again |
| 04:48 | alain | guys i have enabled the restricted driver.. but still cant work.. |
| 04:48 | kr00l | can someone help me install a .tar.bz2 file? |
| 04:48 | rainwalker | kr00l: what's the file? |
| 04:48 | Notos | Ashfire908, so it takes advantage of the 4 cores? |
| 04:48 | paxton | Can someone help me fix my resolution then.? |
| 04:49 | kr00l | rainwalker: it's a "mupen64-0.5.tar.bz2" |
| 04:49 | hamadooo | anyone knows about the setting deamon ??? |
| 04:49 | verb3k | kr00l, that file is an archive, it is like .zip and can contain anything from source code to executables |
| 04:49 | ifireball | hamadooo: what about it? |
| 04:49 | alain | paxton have u installed the restricted drivers |
| 04:49 | rainwalker | kr00l: never heard of it...what is it? |
| 04:49 | paxton | I think so, ill check again |
| 04:49 | Ashfire908 | Notos: 386 is the processor architecture. the amount of cores doesn't matter |
| 04:49 | kr00l | Nintendo 64 emulator |
| 04:49 | signal9 | so, I'm wondering if this morning's kernel updates just bork the nvidia driver outright? |
| 04:49 | kr00l | rainwalker: can you help me install it |
| 04:49 | paxton | IT says it has no restricted drivers |
| 04:50 | verb3k | kr00l, right click and "extract here" and see what you get |
| 04:50 | hamadooo | ifireball .. i have an error msg everytime i try to log in .. and it tells me to restart and when i restart everything goes alright |
| 04:50 | rainwalker | kr00l: well first I'd say to extract the archive and see if there's anything in it telling you how to install |
| 04:50 | bazhang | kr00l: problematic with Ubuntu--install at your own risk |
| 04:50 | paxton | but I am still at 800 by 600 :( |
| 04:50 | alain | wat video card are u using |
| 04:50 | Ashfire908 | Notos: (except the cell processor in the ps3. (8 are cell cores and one is powerpc)) |
| 04:50 | rainwalker | bazhang: what's problematic? |
| 04:50 | paxton | I am using a via unichrome pro igp s3 |
| 04:50 | kr00l | rainwalker: OK |
| 04:50 | bazhang | rainwalker: mupen :} |
| 04:50 | Notos | Ashfire908, oh thanks the so no need to complie a kernel after install ? |
| 04:50 | rainwalker | bazhang: how so? |
| 04:51 | ifireball | hamadooo: can you log in after you restart? |
| 04:51 | bazhang | rainwalker: doesnot work |
| 04:51 | nickrud | the kernel is the one thing they should release new instead of updating, at least you could go back to the old one |
| 04:51 | Ashfire908 | Notos, why do you think you need to? |
| 04:51 | rainwalker | bazhang: ah...I can see how that might be problematic haha |
| 04:51 | bazhang | hehe |
| 04:51 | hamadooo | ifireball yes i can .. but i have to restart the computer everytime i open the ubuntu |
| 04:51 | paxton | can someone help me then |
| 04:51 | Old_Gregg | Hello. Can someone help me? I have no sound whatsoever. |
| 04:51 | sqlnoob | bazhang: :( I got the firmware but i havent been able to install it so I can enable the card, i've looked online but when i do "sudo make install" the packet throws C programming errors |
| 04:51 | Ashfire908 | !ask |
| 04:51 | ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) |
| 04:52 | sqlnoob | bazhang: I don't think my install is working as it should =/ |
| 04:52 | IdleOne | !sound | Old_Gregg |
| 04:52 | ubotu | Old_Gregg: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 |
| 04:52 | Notos | Ashfire908, i dont know before when Warty was new there where linux-image-dual and the like if i remeber corectly |
| 04:52 | Old_Gregg | Scratch that, I have sound in World of Warcraft, but no where else. |
| 04:52 | paxton | I asked if someone would help me fix my resolution, but nobody is helping :( |
