| jkfldsjkflds | maybe tom should try the ifconfig, iwconfig, solution using whatever ubuntus built in gui wifi controller app is | 00:04 |

| TwoD_ | AdamC, Firestarter is a GUI frontend for iptables which is (simply put) a list of allowed incomming/outgoing ports. Iptables is always active in Ubuntu, but you only need to have Firestarter running when making changes to iptables by adding/removing policies in Firewall. That way you can easily open the listen port for Azureus. | 00:06 |

| dontpanic | Someone in a forum suggested getting the latest version from the site | 00:06 |
|---|
| Eds | Well, took me about 5 mins of KDE to make me want to try out Gnome | 00:06 |
|---|
| rbs-tito | dontpanic: You could try a newer one, there is a program called Envy that will get the latest driver for you | 00:06 |
|---|
| galacticone | i got the newest one | 00:06 |
|---|
| jkfldsjkflds | eds, yeah kde blows, its slow, and crashes easily | 00:06 |
|---|
| galacticone | i installed it offline | 00:07 |
|---|
| jkfldsjkflds | the gnome version is much more stable | 00:07 |
|---|
| Eds | So I just worked out, even from default it seemed like I had to be carefull with it, felt fragile :( | 00:07 |
|---|
| galacticone | since I couldnt get online at all without a wireless connection | 00:07 |
|---|
| dontpanic | Ok, how can I get it? | 00:07 |

| dontpanic | I tried apt-get envy but it said "E: Invalid operation envy" | 00:07 |

|---|
| wols | TwoD_: you are mistaken. ubuntu doesn't block a single port by default unless the user explictly does it | 00:13 |
|---|
| jkfldsjkflds | taints it from its official supportness maybe | 00:14 |

| XxValetexX | lesshaste_ mostly for music tho | 00:16 |
|---|
| tbarturbo | yer ok no worries | 00:16 |
|---|
| wols | TwoD_: that is not default ubuntu. ubuntu doesn't set any ports to closed. it doesn't install any kind of firewall software by default either. what you do is of course maybe different. but default ubuntu doesn't | 00:16 |

| wols | galacticone: the firmware is what broadcom gives you via their driver, that doesN't change | 00:32 |

| TheEagle | what made you choose ubunut? | 00:32 |
|---|
| galacticone | yes there is http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 00:32 |

| [revamped] | anyone know my answer ? :( | 00:32 |

| tritium | TheEagle, tbarturbo: #ubuntu-offtopic for chit-chat, please | 00:33 |

| tbarturbo | tritium theeagle no worries im off anyway, thanx for trying dude | 00:34 |
|---|
| wols | galacticone: firmware and drivers are very different things | 00:34 |
|---|
| galacticone | b43 offers a newer codebase and hardware crypto support. Broadcom did not release any version 4 firmware files for some older boards, possibly due to memory constraints on the cards themselves. | 00:34 |

| ahimaj | shady: couldn't a program just dance around in your system | 01:15 |
|---|
| slliness | Elda, http://download.tuxfamily.org/gpartedlive/ its like a better free version of partition magic | 01:15 |
|---|
| Delvien | IndyGunFreak Banshee is horrid, they have poor support, and their player is bbuggy as Ill get out. | 01:15 |
|---|
| ahimaj | without wreaking havoc per se | 01:16 |
|---|
| Elda | Gparted is working fine for me | 01:16 |
|---|
| Delvien | Indygunfreak i use deluge for torrents, its gtk , and its like azureus | 01:16 |
|---|
| Benalex | Elda: you should keep it in case of emergency... although it contains only windows | 01:16 |
|---|
| ahimaj | but it's just there, trying to gain access to important files, and being denied because it doesn't have the appropriate permissions | 01:16 |
|---|
| rave1 | th0r : ok im there now | 01:16 |
|---|
| shadylookin | well if you intentionally install it then yes you can have "bad programs" but you can also remove them with ease | 01:16 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | i hate deluge and azureus...lol, thank goodness for choice. | 01:16 |
|---|
| Elda | ah okey | 01:16 |
|---|
| * Elda <3s azureus >.> | 01:16 |
| Abyssal | after "sudo apt-get install exaile" exaile is fully installed? | 01:16 |
|---|
| pyrotix | TwoD_ description for DMZ says it forwards all inbound connections not associated with another computer on the network to a certain internal IP | 01:16 |
|---|
| ahimaj | even if you install a bad program, can it do anything to your computer? | 01:16 |
|---|
| ahimaj | seems to me that even if you have malaware installed, it has no power whatsoever | 01:17 |
|---|
| webguy2214 | anybody want to help me out with an apache php problem? | 01:17 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | Abyssal: did it ask you to hit Y, or something like that? | 01:17 |
|---|
| ahimaj | because anything of importance requires a password to access | 01:17 |
|---|
| Abyssal | IndyGunFreak: yes | 01:17 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | Abyssal: then if you selected yes, and its done running all that text, its installed.. look in Applications/Sound and Video | 01:17 |
|---|
| shadylookin | well if you install something with sudo it can do whatever it pleases including deleting / | 01:17 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | pyrotix, ok as I thought then. Hmm, as long as 80 wasn't forwarded to any other comp, it should work... Weird... | 01:17 |
|---|
| ahimaj | yeah, that's what I thought | 01:18 |
|---|
| rave1 | could someone help me i tried to open a .deb file but it says paket ..... is not installed and there are about 10 pakets not installed | 01:18 |
|---|
| ahimaj | in otherwords, you have to be stupid | 01:18 |
|---|
| slliness | Elda, if it is your backup for a toshiba system restore or emergency restore or whatever they rarely work anyway and as long as you know stuff about windows and have a win disc you could safely delete it | 01:18 |
|---|
| kbreit | If I install Kubuntu packages on top of a regular Ubuntu install, will I have the option of starting gnome or kde? | 01:18 |
|---|
| Thomas | hi, what command in terimanl makes a blank file? | 01:18 |
|---|
| ahimaj | and allow bad pieces of software to wreak havoc | 01:18 |
|---|
| slliness | Elda, if you have lots of space then don't | 01:18 |
|---|
| Administrator_ | mkdir | 01:18 |
|---|
| ahimaj | but, nothing is going to install itself without your knowing about it | 01:18 |
|---|
| Abyssal | IndyGunFreak: yes. it is all installed. and there i can manage my mp3 data and transfer it onto my player and back? | 01:19 |
|---|
| shadylookin | well someone without knowledge can easily mess up if they use root for example some jerk gives a new guy dangerous commands | 01:19 |
|---|
| Thomas | but that makes a dic | 01:19 |
|---|
| webguy2214 | my apache install wont parse php files when there called as the default index | 01:19 |
|---|
| Delvien | IndyGunFreak i hate ati so much... if this laptop wasnt free i would smash it.. Whats funny is ive reinstalled ubuntu three times on it, the first time i did everything worked like a charm, installed graphics in a couple clicks, now restricted-manager doesnt recognize it and the install the wiki told me to do fails horrindously, | 01:19 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | kbreit: Yes, from the GDM | 01:19 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | Abyssal: I *personally* don't like Exaile for managing an Mp3player, but yes, you should be able to. | 01:19 |
|---|
| rave1 | could someone help me i tried to open a .deb file but it says paket ..... is not installed and there are about 10 pakets not installed | 01:19 |
|---|
| Thomas | i want a file | 01:19 |
|---|
| JohnMcRiii | hi, it's me again...thanks for the help earlier | 01:19 |
|---|
| Abyssal | IndyGunFreak: thanks. | 01:19 |
|---|
| ahimaj | that makes sense | 01:19 |
|---|
| webguy2214 | I can type http://myweb/index.php no problem, but http://myweb shows the text from the php file. | 01:19 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | Abyssal: i would recommend either sudo apt-get install amarok or sudo apt-get install banshee | 01:19 |
|---|
| rave1 | (02:19:37) rave1: could someone help me i tried to open a .deb file but it says paket ..... is not installed and there are about 10 pakets not installed | 01:19 |
|---|
| ahimaj | but, no matter what you are doing online | 01:20 |
|---|
| ahimaj | if you are doing it as a user | 01:20 |
|---|
| ahimaj | and not as root | 01:20 |
|---|
| ahimaj | you are essentially invincible | 01:20 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | rave1, if the package has dependencies. then you need to have all of them installed also. | 01:20 |
|---|
| Abyssal | IndyGunFreak: you always install via shell? | 01:20 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | Abyssal: almost always, if you want a GUI, go to System/Admin/Synaptic Package manager | 01:20 |
|---|
| JohnMcRiii | whats the command to connect a windows network drive? - and can i automate this, so i dont need to enter the password everytime i rebooted the system? | 01:20 |
|---|
| shadylookin | yes you can spank it to all the bad porn on the internet and the bad people can't get to you | 01:20 |
|---|
| rave1 | dr_willis how do i get them? | 01:20 |
|---|
| ahimaj | lol | 01:20 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | Abyssal: i've compiled a fwe programs froms oruce, but not many | 01:20 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | rave1, thats normally the job the package manager handles.. you DONT normally download just a .deb and install it. You use apt-get or so forth to install the proper things. | 01:20 |
|---|
| rave1 | is there a huge pack with all the pakets i need | 01:20 |
|---|
| Abyssal | IndyGunFreak: i as a former other OS user prefer the window menu. :-) | 01:20 |
|---|
| ahimaj | i was thinking more along the lines of popups | 01:20 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | rave1, the packet you're trying to install probably depends on those listed. Try installing them from Synaptic or type "sudo apt-get install packet_name | 01:20 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | rave1, so what is if you are trying to install | 01:21 |
|---|
| slliness | !gparted | 01:21 |
|---|
| ubotu | GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 01:21 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | Abyssal: then synaptic package manager is what you want...lol, open synaptic, and do a search for "banshee".. right click it and install it. | 01:21 |
|---|
| ahimaj | and people trying to get into your computer | 01:21 |
|---|
| shadylookin | firefox(default broswer) blocks almost all popups | 01:21 |
|---|
| ahimaj | i'm on a college network | 01:21 |
|---|
| rave1 | can we go to private chat its too many thnings going on here | 01:21 |
|---|
| Delvien | Abyssal i was too when i first started with linux.. You will grow out of it, now i cant live without a terminal | 01:21 |
|---|
| rave1 | dr willis | 01:21 |
|---|
| * IndyGunFreak agrees with Delvien | 01:21 |
| Thomas | bye | 01:21 |
|---|
| critt | Duh question. But can I delete everthing in the tpm folder? | 01:21 |
|---|
| shadylookin | people can only remotely access your computer if they can get your password and ip address | 01:21 |
|---|
| critt | tmp | 01:22 |
|---|
| Eroick | is there a channel for Hardy? | 01:22 |
|---|
| ahimaj | so, can you download music and listen to it via user and not worry about viruses in the files | 01:22 |
|---|
| Abyssal | IndyGunFreak: oh i pro! :-) | 01:22 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | !hardy | Eroick | 01:22 |
|---|
| ubotu | Eroick: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 01:22 |
|---|
| Benalex | Eroick: #ubuntu+1 | 01:22 |
|---|
| Delvien | shadylookin not even then if you didnt install VNC ssh server, or activate remote desktop | 01:22 |
|---|
| rave1 | dr_willis? | 01:22 |
|---|
| webguy2214 | so, apache not parsing index files correctly anybody? | 01:22 |
|---|
| Eroick | thanks! | 01:22 |
|---|
| JohnMcRiii | sorry, but again :) : whats the command to connect a windows network drive? - and can i automate this, so i dont need to enter the password everytime i rebooted the system? | 01:22 |
|---|
| shadylookin | true, but ubuntu has ssh by default unless i'm mistaken | 01:22 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | rave1, What is it you are trying to install? | 01:23 |
|---|
| rave1 | envy | 01:23 |
|---|
| Delvien | shadylookin woops said that wrong openssh-server, VNC, or remote desktop | 01:23 |
|---|
| hou5ton | so .... where is the directory and the files ?? I went to download a dictionary for StarDict, and it asked if I wanted to save it to disk or open it with the Archive Manager. I just chose the defaul (Archive Manager) and it says it is done, but I can't find it anywhere .. using both locate and find commands. | 01:23 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | rave1, egads..,. DONT even use envy | 01:23 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | ahimaj, well, a virus could actually delete all the files in your home folder (and any other folder you have those permissions on), but you're not likely to get a virus in a music file, especially a Linux one... | 01:23 |
|---|
| Delvien | shadylookin nope it doesnt, only ubuntu-server, its an option on install | 01:23 |
|---|
| rave1 | hehe why? | 01:23 |
|---|
| ahimaj | why not | 01:23 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | it can trash your system.. and in most cases is NOT needed | 01:23 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | Abyssal: what Mp3 player did you say you had, a Zune? | 01:23 |
|---|
| ahimaj | if someone wants to do bad, they will | 01:23 |
|---|
| ahimaj | maybe they have a think against linux | 01:23 |
|---|
| ahimaj | *thing* | 01:23 |
|---|
| __mikem | Sansas are the best players you can get | 01:23 |
|---|
| rave1 | but i know for sure manually installation doesnt work on my pc | 01:24 |
|---|
| shadylookin | well if there is no remote connection client you can't be hacked with it | 01:24 |
|---|
| rave1 | my friend , a geek , allready tried | 01:24 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | rave1, whats your video card anyway? | 01:24 |
|---|
| rave1 | ati | 01:24 |
|---|
| Abyssal | IndyGunFreak: you are pros. my mp3 player was a creative. | 01:24 |
|---|
| rave1 | ill just need it for wolfenstein et | 01:24 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | Abyssal: i woudln't say i'm a pro, i've just learned by trial and error..lol | 01:24 |
|---|
| Abyssal | IndyGunFreak: creative micro photo | 01:24 |
|---|
| ahimaj | twoD: why is unlikely that you will get a virus in a music file | 01:25 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | Abyssal: ok, the creatives generally work rpetty good under Linux. | 01:25 |
|---|
| hou5ton | ravel: agreed ... I tried Envy and it was 1. unnessesary, and 2. made the display not work at all ..... fortunately was able to just use the backup | 01:25 |
|---|
| shadylookin | you can't get a virus from an mp3 file since it's not an executable | 01:25 |
|---|
| rave1 | you know my problem about the missing pakages dr_willis.. i just came till there ..you think it already damaged my system? | 01:25 |
|---|
| shadylookin | same for almost every file | 01:25 |
|---|
| ahimaj | what files CAN you get viruses from | 01:25 |
|---|
| critt | I have a Sansa But can't get the pics or video to Load on it without the converter software that comes with it using linx | 01:25 |
|---|
| ahimaj | executables don't run in linux | 01:25 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | ahimaj, I'm not saying there won't ever be a Linux virus. Just that there's not much point in creating one, for the reasons you stated before. Besides, I don't know of any well known viruses that have been embedded in music files etc. As long as you don't do something very unusual, you're safe. | 01:25 |
|---|
| shadylookin | I'm not aware of any viruses built for linux | 01:26 |
|---|
| ahimaj | i'm not scared per se | 01:26 |
|---|
| Benalex | shadylookin: I remember a virus called ILoveYou.vbs was targeting mp3 | 01:26 |
|---|
| ahimaj | just curious | 01:26 |
|---|
| ahimaj | I backup to two different sources, so it would take a lot to wipe me out | 01:26 |
|---|
| yclian | I-love-you was written by some Manila guy was it? | 01:26 |
|---|
| shadylookin | you can get crappy programs that mess up your system but you have to personally install them. | 01:26 |
|---|
| critt | CAn All Files and folder without a Lock icon on them be deleted from the tmp folder? | 01:26 |
|---|
| Abyssal | IndyGunFreak: do you also syncronize your cell phone with your mail programme? ( i got a nokia n80 and use thunderbird for mails and contacts and lightning for appointments.) | 01:27 |
|---|
| ahimaj | excellent | 01:27 |
|---|
| ahimaj | so, it seems to me that your system can only go to shit | 01:27 |
|---|
| ahimaj | if you aren't paying attention | 01:27 |
|---|
| IndyGunFreak | Abyssal: never done that.. sorry... i'm kinda wierd, i only make phone calls on my cell phone..lol | 01:27 |
|---|
| Abyssal | IndyGunFreak: you also got a suggestion therefore? | 01:27 |
|---|
| ahimaj | or are trying really hard to screw it up | 01:27 |
|---|
| Abyssal | IndyGunFreak: ok. thank you anyway. | 01:27 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | Abyssal: This might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices | 01:27 |

| nerdydude20 | I have exim installed and set up to accept all emails (via /etc/aliases) and deliver them to a central account. If I send an email to test@localdomain and test2@localdomain the first email only receives the email.. not the second.. why aren't two copies delivered? | 01:28 |
|---|
| Anderson | I am troubleshooting a problem with my touchpad, and whenever I alter the xorg.conf from one pointing device to another, I get a fatal error saying a screen can not be found.... any ideas? | 01:28 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | ahimaj, executables do run in Linux (otherwise it wouldn't function of course), they're just not named .exe or behave the same as windows executables (you need to explicitly set executable permissions before it can run etc). Music files are unlikely to be infected because no program would look for executable code in there, it's all data being parsed, not "executed" as machine instructions. | 01:28 |
|---|
| critt | Does tmp folder clean it's self on reboot? | 01:28 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | hey there i just enabled compiz but i have no title bars on my windows which makes them hard to move around how do i "enable" them? | 01:29 |
|---|
| shadylookin | ya to run executables you would have to use sudo and chmod it to give it permissions personally | 01:29 |
|---|
| ahimaj | ah...thanks twoD | 01:29 |
|---|
| ahimaj | that's pretty amazing | 01:29 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: Do you have ccsm? | 01:29 |
|---|
| shadylookin | so unlike windows nothing can stealthily mess up your computer | 01:29 |
|---|
| ahimaj | cus they don't have the permissions | 01:29 |
|---|
| Anderson | it also says something about the configuration file not matching the defaul server profile | 01:29 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | Odd-rationale: let me check | 01:29 |
|---|
| killfacengage | I'm having issues with the default index on my apache server not being parsed correctly, php files work fine but not if there the index, in that scenario it treats them like regualr html files | 01:29 |
|---|
| shadylookin | it's not really amazing it's been around forever outside of the windows world | 01:30 |
|---|
| ahimaj | i just joined linux about 3 months ago | 01:30 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | yeah | 01:30 |
|---|
| ahimaj | so, to me it's amazing | 01:30 |
|---|
| Abyssal | Odd-rationale: thank you for the link. | 01:30 |
|---|
| Kay | hi guys | 01:30 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | Abyssal: np | 01:30 |
|---|
| ahimaj | getting everyone I know into it--gutsy has made it really accessible | 01:30 |
|---|
| Anderson | I am troubleshooting a problem with my touchpad, and whenever I alter the xorg.conf from one pointing device to another, I get a fatal error saying a screen can not be found.... any ideas? | 01:31 |
|---|
| Anderson | it also says something about the configuration file not matching the defaul server profile | 01:31 |
|---|
| ahimaj | though I prefer to use the terminal, mostly cus I don't trust the gui for a lot of programs | 01:31 |
|---|
| phantomcircuit | i didnt think it was possible but ubuntu is significantly slower than xp in booting up on my older laptop | 01:31 |
|---|
| ahimaj | the samba gui in particular is messed up | 01:31 |
|---|
| ahimaj | there's some frontend you can download that is more or less crap | 01:31 |
|---|
| killfacengage | anybody use apache with gutys? | 01:31 |
|---|
| killfacengage | gutsy | 01:31 |
|---|
| ahimaj | ksamba is what it's called I believe | 01:31 |
|---|
| Administrator_ | coz linux will use as much memory as possible | 01:31 |
|---|
| yclian | ahimaj: gsambad? | 01:32 |
|---|
| ahimaj | oh right | 01:32 |
|---|
| Anderson | I am troubleshooting a problem with my touchpad, and whenever I alter the xorg.conf from one pointing device to another, I get a fatal error saying a screen can not be found.... any ideas? | 01:32 |
|---|
| Anderson | it also says something about the configuration file not matching the defaul server profile | 01:32 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: go back a bit further in the log -- the "screen cannot be found" message is basically telling you "we can't connect to an X server because there isn't one running because something before this messed up" | 01:32 |
|---|
| ahimaj | thanks yclian | 01:32 |
|---|
| ahimaj | gsambad | 01:32 |
|---|
| yclian | at least I can see some text configuration, I trust that. | 01:32 |
|---|
| ahimaj | it has some weird effects though | 01:32 |
|---|
| Kay | well, with text configuration, one missed letter, and bye bye | 01:32 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, what am I looking for? | 01:32 |
|---|
| ahimaj | couldn't get my samba to work | 01:32 |
|---|
| ahimaj | till I did it manually | 01:32 |
|---|
| yclian | Well, if you are a root, you should be careful with what you are writing to the system. | 01:32 |
|---|
| ahimaj | gsambad would activate the server, then mysteriously, samba would deactivate bout 5 seconds later | 01:33 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: ? | 01:33 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: hang on a sec - looking for my X log file now to make sure I've got syntax and stuff correct | 01:33 |
|---|
| ahimaj | all you do as root | 01:33 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | Odd-rationale: | 01:33 |
|---|
| Kay | well, my case with samba is similar | 01:33 |
|---|
| ahimaj | is edit the samba.conf file | 01:33 |
|---|
| Kay | I can connect to others | 01:33 |
|---|
| tom2002 | i'm having an issue with my scanner | 01:33 |

|---|
| tom2002 | i run XSANE, but it says that it can't find the scanner | 01:33 |

| Anderson | corvvs, ok | 01:33 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? | 01:33 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: open up /var/log/Xorg.0.log with less or whatever you like to use to read files | 01:34 |
|---|

| tom2002 | what do i do | 01:34 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: and search for lines beginning with (EE) | 01:34 |
|---|
| yclian | tom2002: what scanner is that? | 01:34 |
|---|
| tom2002 | scanner is on and plugged in | 01:34 |
|---|

| wweasel | I have an odd question; can an edgy box be upgraded straight to gutsy, or must it go through fiesty first? | 01:35 |
|---|
| loafer | probably its a total noob question but which packages do i have to install to make my ubuntu 7.10 pc to a server? | 01:35 |
|---|
| rave1 | who could help me installing ati drivers? | 01:35 |
|---|
| tom2002 | what exactly is that | 01:35 |
|---|
| === Varka_ is now known as Varka |
| ahimaj | go to system | 01:35 |
|---|
| casperzshado | the close, minimize and maximize | 01:35 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: Open it and check to see of "Window Decoration" is enabled. | 01:35 |
|---|
| shadylookin | I hear it's best to do a fresh install as the upgrades have a tendency to break stuff wweasel | 01:35 |
|---|
| PriceChild | loafer, depends what you want to serve | 01:35 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | Anderson, or use System->Administration->SystemLogs (or whatever it's called in English), a bit easier to read, and it updates automatically. | 01:35 |
|---|
| tom2002 | k | 01:35 |
|---|
| bewst | Is it really possible that the ubuntu kernels are built with debug info? | 01:35 |
|---|
| Qarl | wweasel: must go through Fiesty first for non-LTS releases | 01:35 |

| Kay | I have a question for you guys | 01:36 |
|---|
| corvvs | TwoD_: but since he can't start X... | 01:36 |
|---|
| tom2002 | alright .. i'm there | 01:36 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: When using compiz? how about without? | 01:36 |
|---|
| ahimaj | see if it has your scanner listed | 01:36 |
|---|
| wweasel | shadylookin: I've never had a problem upgrading. And I don't think it's a good idea to advise against upgrades in the IRC support channel. Upgrading is a supported and safe way to move from one version to the next. | 01:36 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | corvvs, Ah, sorry, didn't see that. =P Then it's a tad bit harder hehe | 01:36 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, I rebooted since I got the error | 01:36 |
|---|
| Kay | how do I get to compile sources from gusty/ | 01:36 |

| Kay | ? | 01:36 |

|---|
| quittt | how are you? | 01:36 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: oh, it's working now? | 01:36 |
|---|
| ahimaj | if it doesn't, either you haven't plugged it in well, or something is busted | 01:36 |
|---|
| Sier | I'm good, thank you | 01:36 |
|---|
| loafer | I want to have an FTP server with mysql an so on | 01:37 |
|---|
| Sier | I want to buy a S2000 :( | 01:37 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, it said something about an unidentified device "defaul mouse' | 01:37 |
|---|
| tom2002 | yup | 01:37 |
|---|
| tom2002 | its listed | 01:37 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: Try restarting compiz and see if that works. | 01:37 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, no, my touchpad is broken | 01:37 |
|---|
| ahimaj | hmmm | 01:37 |
|---|
| ahimaj | cloick on it | 01:37 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: ahh, I misunderstood | 01:37 |
|---|
| tom2002 | busted ..... uh oh | 01:37 |
|---|
| ahimaj | click on it | 01:37 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, but it's causing problems with screen when I troubleshoot | 01:37 |
|---|
| casperzshado | anyone know how to get my top line on my windows back? the one with close max and min? | 01:37 |
|---|
| tom2002 | alright | 01:37 |
|---|
| ahimaj | see what it says--if it has a description and version number | 01:37 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | how do i do that? | 01:37 |
|---|
| ahimaj | etc | 01:37 |
|---|
| tom2002 | no | 01:37 |
|---|
| ahimaj | then you have the drivers for it already | 01:37 |
|---|
| tom2002 | it says unknown | 01:37 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | Odd-rationale: will logging out and back in work? | 01:37 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: alt+f2 "compiz --replace" | 01:37 |
|---|
| ahimaj | sounds like you are missing the drivers | 01:38 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | hou5ton, you can check where a package puts its files (when installed) by right-clicking->properties or something like that in Synaptic. | 01:38 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: can you send me a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf - I'll take a look and see if I notice anything funky | 01:38 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: Yes that works, too | 01:38 |
|---|
| tom2002 | and how do i get those drivers | 01:38 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, yeah, in PM? | 01:38 |
|---|
| ahimaj | go to the website of the company that built the scanner | 01:38 |
|---|
| tom2002 | k | 01:38 |
|---|
| ahimaj | they should have drivers availale for linux | 01:38 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: sure | 01:38 |
|---|
| tom2002 | cool thx | 01:38 |
|---|
| hou5ton | TwoD_: the problem is ... I didn't use Synaptic | 01:38 |
|---|
| ahimaj | if they don't, you can get the windows drivers | 01:38 |
|---|
| ahimaj | then use a driver wrapper | 01:38 |
|---|
| ahimaj | ndiswrapper is what it's called I believe | 01:38 |
|---|
| hou5ton | and I've tried locate and find commands ..and it's like this directory/files don't even exist | 01:38 |
|---|
| Elda | Weee trashing my current partition table now, lol | 01:38 |
|---|
| hou5ton | but they do | 01:38 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | hou5ton, how did you install it? | 01:39 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: well? | 01:39 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | no dice | 01:39 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: OK do you have emerald? | 01:39 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | yes | 01:39 |
|---|
| ahimaj | does anyone here know if people are cracking down on torrent downloads | 01:39 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | hou5ton, Synaptic is just a frontend for apt-get. So if you used apt-get (or ran a .deb file) you should see it in Synaptic now. | 01:39 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | but i don't know how to configure it | 01:39 |
|---|
| ahimaj | particularly from websites like mininova and piratebay | 01:39 |
|---|
| wols | ahimaj: OT | 01:39 |
|---|
| hou5ton | TwoD_: unfortunately, I made the mistake of chosing the default method of using the Archive Manager instead of just downloading hte file and tarring | 01:39 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, I did dcc send | 01:40 |
|---|
| tom2002 | :( | 01:40 |

| ahimaj | wols: OT? | 01:40 |

| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 01:40 |
|---|

|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: Do you see emerald settings in system -> pref? | 01:40 |
|---|
| tom2002 | the microtek website only has dirvers for windows and mac | 01:40 |
|---|
| ahimaj | oh | 01:40 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | hou5ton, what type of file was it? | 01:40 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | yeah i have it open | 01:40 |
|---|
| hou5ton | TwoD_: it was a .bz2 | 01:40 |
|---|
| hou5ton | TwoD_: a dictionary file for StarDict | 01:40 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: Do you have any emerald themes there? | 01:41 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | ok i am fetching themes now | 01:41 |
|---|
| ahimaj | how do you access other ubuntu channels | 01:41 |
|---|
| hou5ton | TwoD_: I guess I'll just ignore it and download it again and tar it myself??? | 01:41 |
|---|
| tom2002 | the microtek website said that linux was unsupported :( | 01:41 |
|---|
| ahimaj | ok | 01:41 |
|---|
| ahimaj | get the windows driver | 01:41 |
|---|
| ahimaj | then get a driver wrapper | 01:41 |
|---|
| ahimaj | ndiswrapper is what it should be called | 01:41 |
|---|
| ahimaj | might be a letter off or so | 01:41 |
|---|
| tom2002 | alright | 01:41 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | hou5ton, ok but if you used the Archive Manager you should have had to select where to unpackage it to I think | 01:41 |
|---|
| Abyssal | any german user who can help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50223/ | 01:41 |
|---|
| ahimaj | it's basically a program that will allow you to use windows drivers with linux | 01:41 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | ok i got one now i will restart | 01:42 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: hmm, doesn't seem like I'm getting it | 01:42 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | *unpackage = unpack | 01:42 |
|---|
| hou5ton | TwoD_: it didn't give me that option .... but it says it would have put it at / | 01:42 |
|---|
| ahimaj | anyone know how to access other ubuntu channles | 01:42 |
|---|
| ahimaj | channels | 01:42 |
|---|
| red_team316 | type /join #channelname | 01:42 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: I'm trying out Pidgin instead of BitchX, just to see how good the IRC support was... looks like not very :P | 01:42 |
|---|
| Benalex | ahimaj: type /j #channelname | 01:42 |
|---|
| wols | ahimaj: he won't be able to run a scanner with ndiswrapper | 01:42 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, on public net, probably firewall. | 01:42 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, im using xchat, and I dont even know how to open a pm | 01:42 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | Odd-rationale: thanks for your help | 01:42 |
|---|
| ahimaj | he just needs the drivers | 01:42 |
|---|
| varsendaggr | it workds | 01:43 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | varsendaggr: np. | 01:43 |
|---|
| astro76 | ahimaj, NDIS is network devices only | 01:43 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | hou5ton, ah, try opening the archive again and look at its folder structure. You should then be able to work out where the files were unpacked. Unless you're root, you shouldn't be able to unpack anything anywhere than your home and other allowed places. | 01:43 |
|---|
| ahimaj | oh, bummer | 01:43 |
|---|
| hou5ton | TwoD_: and then I need to move the contents to a Stardict directory .. | 01:43 |
|---|
| astro76 | Network Driver Interface Specification | 01:43 |
|---|
| ookami | testing 1 2 3... | 01:44 |
|---|
| hou5ton | TwoD_: that's what I thought ... it should be in home or on desktop | 01:44 |
|---|
| * bitmonk wonder if anyone else here has run compiz in a parallels vm, and if it's possible to use AiGLX instead of Xgl, which seems mighty unstable and *always* hangs after about 2-3min | 01:45 |
| Anderson | corvvs, I was an mIRC'er before Linux, not as simple... | 01:45 |
|---|
| ahimaj | anyone know any good channels dealing with linux and torrent downloads | 01:46 |
|---|
| bitmonk | Anderson: have you tried TalkSoup ? | 01:46 |
|---|
| bitmonk | not quite mirc but pretty nifty. | 01:46 |
|---|
| Benalex | ahimaj: try searchirc.com | 01:46 |
|---|
| scguy318 | !torrents | ahimaj | 01:46 |
|---|
| TwoD_ | hou5ton, try searching for some of the files in the archive if you really want to get rid of them. I don't think you can have damaged anything, so unless they are in your home folder (or subfolders, try showing hidden files too) I wouldn't worry about it and start over again. | 01:46 |
|---|
| ubotu | ahimaj: Torrent downloads for the Ubuntu ISOs are available on all the download pages. For Gutsy: http://fr.releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ (CDs) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/ (DVDs) - Please download using the torrents if you can! | 01:46 |
|---|
| aravind | anybody there ? | 01:46 |
|---|
| Anderson | bitmonk, no, i'll check it out after I get this straightened out. | 01:46 |
|---|
| scguy318 | ahimaj: if you were interested in Ubuntu ISOs via BitTorrent | 01:46 |
|---|
| bitmonk | yeah i'm not sure if apt calls it TalkSoup or talksoup.app | 01:46 |
|---|
| aravind | need some help regarding compiz | 01:47 |
|---|
| bitmonk | aravind: you and me both ;d | 01:47 |
|---|
| bitmonk | but i ahve made some progress today, other than instabilities, so maybe i can help. | 01:47 |
|---|
| aravind | k bitmonk | 01:47 |
|---|
| Anderson | what is that ubuntu site where I can upload large outputs? | 01:47 |
|---|
| bitmonk | !paste ? | 01:47 |
|---|
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about paste ? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:47 |
|---|
| bitmonk | aravind: in the channel, please. | 01:48 |
|---|
| bitmonk | !pastebin | 01:48 |
|---|
| ubotu | 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) | 01:48 |
|---|
| aravind | ok bitmonk | 01:48 |
|---|
| Abyssal | there is another problem i got: i got a hp scanjet 3800 scanner. the driver i installed (hp3900-series_0.11.tar.gz) is basically ok. the scanner is very fast. but there is a big problem: every scan with whether with kooka or with xsane has 2 colored stripes in it. on the left half. a violet and a fair green stripe. who can help to fix this problem? | 01:48 |
|---|
| aravind | i hav installed ubuntu on my laptop and am unable to configure visual effects | 01:48 |
|---|
| wols | aravind: what vide driver? | 01:49 |
|---|
| Elda | Vista works on NTFS correct? | 01:49 |
|---|
| ookami | Elda, yes | 01:49 |
|---|
| aravind | i hav sis video driver | 01:49 |
|---|
| bitmonk | though a bit OT | 01:49 |
|---|
| Elda | Want to make sure it recognizes that partition type off the bat so it doesnt try to use the partition I've made for linux | 01:50 |
|---|
| wols | Abyssal: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=hp3900&searchmode=searchword&case=insensitive&version=gutsy&arch=i386 | 01:50 |
|---|
| Elda | Because iirc, when I use the restore disk it automatically uses that partition | 01:50 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: you didn't get my attempted PM? | 01:50 |
|---|
| juiop | I am trying to find the option to turn off the show contents while dragging a window, could anyone tell me where to look? | 01:50 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs no | 01:50 |
|---|
| hou5ton | TwoD_: ok, found it ... it was put under another file name in /tmp | 01:50 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: drat | 01:50 |
|---|
| bitmonk | aravind: did you check if it is known to work with Xgl, or better for now, AiGLX ? | 01:50 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, I will use pastebin, is there a way to parse text to clipboard? | 01:50 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | corvvs: Only registered users can send pm's | 01:50 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | !register | 01:50 |
|---|
| ubotu | By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration | 01:50 |
|---|
| hou5ton | TwoD_: what is weird to me though, is that the updated locate command still will not find it, even though i'm looking right at it | 01:51 |

| bitmonk | i was at all these pages earlier, but have closed them. i'll try to dig them up if you can't find, but it shouldn't be too hard.. | 01:52 |
|---|
| bitmonk | there is some good stuff in ubuntu wiki | 01:52 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: probably - what do you mean parse text to clipboard? | 01:52 |
|---|
| bitmonk | consider a search of 'ubuntu compiz' | 01:52 |
|---|
| bitmonk | top ten are pretty good there | 01:52 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: oh, you mean pipe a text file directly into the X clip or highlight buffer? | 01:53 |
|---|
| aravind | ok, thanks for the help bitmonk, i wil do some research and make the visul efects work :) | 01:53 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, Yea thats the word I was looking for | 01:53 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: I dunno - that would be a neat feature if it did exist though :D | 01:53 |

| bitmonk | aravind: good luck | 01:53 |

So, I tried to follow the directions here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-583212.html and wound up in something called the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility, | 02:11 |

|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: at the very bottom of the xorg.conf file there's a section titled ServerLayout -- that's where you tell it which of the devices you've got configured above you want to use for your default | 02:16 |
|---|
| valberg | stinkyfoot, basically, use the terminal to do it | 02:17 |
|---|
| Anderson | corvvs, Oooh... would that cause the xorg system to fatal error? | 02:17 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: go ahead and comment out that chunk, but ALSO comment out the line InputDevice"Configured Mouse" at the bottom | 02:17 |
|---|

|---|
| laoen | shadowh511, i just wanna know if the host os will get infected by the virus | 02:31 |
|---|
| mint | any ideas!? | 02:31 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | probably if they both are microcrap | 02:31 |
|---|
| mint | any ideas!? | 02:31 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: I dunno man - here's the forum I was getting my ideas from: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-handheld-25/panasonic-toughbook-cf-29-touch-screen-485053/page7.html | 02:31 |
|---|
| PriceChild | mint, what program is this? | 02:31 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | mv -i mint | 02:31 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | nautilus | 02:31 |
|---|
| CarlFK | Abyssal: yes. but it is more a big handy tip | 02:31 |
|---|
| mint | I am using nautilus | 02:31 |
|---|
| PriceChild | mindframe_, that has progress bars by default | 02:32 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | sudo apt-get upgrade nautilus | 02:32 |
|---|
| joel_ | i downloaded a file on the net n it appears on my dekstop, does that means my program is installed already? | 02:32 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: best I can say is browse through there and see if you can find anything I missed that looks good | 02:32 |
|---|
| mint | I just dragged the files over and they appeared instantly... but I have no way of seeing if it is done or not!! | 02:32 |
|---|
| corvvs | Anderson: or upgrade to ubuntu 7.10 | 02:32 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | joel_, doubtfull | 02:32 |
|---|
| mint | there is no progress bar | 02:32 |
|---|
| PriceChild | mint, it is done | 02:32 |
|---|
| B-rabbit | PriceChild, that worked for me :) thnx | 02:32 |
|---|
| joel_ | what should i do? | 02:32 |
|---|
| * B-rabbit big kiss | 02:32 |
| PriceChild | B-rabbit, someone else suggested it | 02:32 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | mint: reboot and see if they are there | 02:32 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | joel_, no idea.. what are you trying to do? | 02:32 |
|---|
| mint | PriceChild: cant be... 20 gigs doesnt transfer over a network cable in one second | 02:32 |
|---|
| Task | what peer 2 peer programs do I have to choose from? | 02:32 |
|---|
| mint | and some of the files are still a size of zero | 02:32 |
|---|
| mint | I'm not dumb | 02:32 |
|---|
| joel_ | install that software | 02:32 |
|---|
| PriceChild | mint, you probably just linked to them or something wierd | 02:33 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | then its still copying | 02:33 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | joel_, and the software is? and the filename is? | 02:33 |
|---|
| PriceChild | mindframe_, right click drag then choose move to be sure | 02:33 |
|---|
| mint | PriceChild: heh.. now how would I do that? all I did was dragged them over to move them | 02:33 |
|---|
| laoen | can someone tell me if i use my guest OS open a file with virus which locates in my host os, will my host os gets infected also? | 02:33 |
|---|
| B-rabbit | Dr_willis, thnx :D | 02:33 |
|---|
| g_ | whats the url for the broadcom wiki docs? | 02:33 |
|---|
| mint | and NO, they are not symlinks | 02:33 |
|---|
| joel_ | Dr willis, the file name is dazuko-2.3.4.tar.gz | 02:33 |
|---|
| mint | I know that for a fact | 02:33 |
|---|
| corvvs | mint: dragged them in your file manager? nautilus, I presume? | 02:33 |
|---|
| mint | sigh, I'll just do mv -i | 02:33 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | joel_, for source packages you need to uncompress, then compile the source. | 02:34 |
|---|
| mint | I hate silly file managers that have important crap toggled off | 02:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | !find dazuko | 02:34 |
|---|
| ubotu | Found: dazuko-source | 02:34 |
|---|
| mint | corvvs: yes. | 02:34 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | laoen: its not likely but your problem should be transfered to #windows | 02:34 |
|---|
| mint | I am on the ubuntu live CD | 02:34 |
|---|
| joel_ | Dr Willis, and actly how do i compile? | 02:34 |
|---|
| laoen | shadowh511, k, thx | 02:34 |
|---|
| mint | backing up laptop data to a network drive so I can install over it | 02:34 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | ./configure;make;sudo make install | 02:34 |
|---|
| corvvs | mint: nautilus does have a progress bar -- it should be in your window list, try finding it and clicking on it | 02:34 |
|---|
| Abyssal | CarlFK: hmm... that sounds all very confusing and dangerous. | 02:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | joel_, the docs for the program/web site should give details.. its like shadowh511 said basdicially | 02:35 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | joel_, you will need ALL the developer/tools that program needs installed also.. | 02:35 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | (run the config script, compile, install as root) | 02:35 |
|---|
| corvvs | mint: oh, on the live cd? well, I'm assuming it works the same way... | 02:35 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | anyway, I was wondering if I could get help WITH THAT | 02:35 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | joel_, install the 'build-essentials' package also.. | 02:35 |

|---|
| g_ | is there an irc client better than xchat for gnome cause this looks like crap | 02:35 |
|---|
| g_ | I cant see anything properly | 02:36 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | I use xchat, not xchat-gnome | 02:36 |

| corvvs | mint: that works :P | 02:36 |
|---|
| B-rabbit | ubotu doesn't know anything about XCHAT | 02:36 |
|---|
| B-rabbit | haha | 02:36 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | you need ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:36 |

|---|
| Abyssal | CarlFK: in the tar.gz package i downloaded there is also a install -sh file in the new folder now. can i use this maybe? maybe do not need UpdatingADeb or ./configure etc?!? | 02:37 |
|---|
| hajiki | hey what version of ubuntu gutsy doesnt have the gdm and usplash broken, cuz i want to do clean install??? | 02:38 |
|---|
| corvvs | g_: you could try bitchx | 02:38 |
|---|
| jota-____ | hey whats the easiest way to control and monitor fans/temperature on gutsy? | 02:38 |
|---|
| shenron | Hi, I am using gutsy and I have the universe packages enabled in my sources.list. However, I cannot find or install zsnes when using apt-cache search or apt-get. I found zsnes on http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/otherosfs/zsnes so I know it should exist in universe, so how come I cannot get it through aptitude? I also tried to get the source and compile it, but that didn't work, and I suspect that that had to do with my using a 64 bit | 02:38 |
|---|
| shenron | cpu. | 02:38 |
|---|
| B-rabbit | nickrud, ahh..so that how u do it..hehe | 02:38 |
|---|
| corvvs | g_: some people like ircii too | 02:38 |
|---|
| g_ | whats bitchx? | 02:38 |
|---|
| Cubexombi | I've got a ludicrous question for anyone who knows the inside and outs of Customizing the live/install CD.. I'd like to remove the user "ubuntu" from the image before burning.. <crosses fingers and hopes> | 02:38 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | shenron, using 64 or 32bit disrto? | 02:38 |
|---|
| shenron | 64 | 02:38 |
|---|
| nickrud | an exotic irc client, bitchx | 02:38 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | How do I enabled secondary monitor? | 02:38 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | shenron, ther is no zsnes for 64 bit. | 02:38 |
|---|
| shenron | really? :/ I can't use the 32 bit version in 64 bit? | 02:38 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | shenron, use snex9x or similer. | 02:39 |
|---|
| CarlFK | Abyssal: if you can make a deb, that is best. if the new source is too different, you will need to figure out what to do next | 02:39 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | shenron, i think its due to its use of assembly code. | 02:39 |
|---|
| shenron | oh you are probably right Dr_willis | 02:39 |
|---|
| corvvs | g_: a different irc client | 02:39 |
|---|
| CarlFK | Abyssal: often the problme is pathes that don't need to be applied to the new source. | 02:39 |
|---|
| mboso | shadowh511: I install ubuntu-restricted extras, but I still can't get MP3s to play back | 02:39 |
|---|
| g_ | ok does anyone know the url to the ubuntu wifi docs? | 02:39 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | xine plugins then | 02:39 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | shenron, thers some other emulators that also have that issue. they used assembly over the years to gain speed.. and now.. well. assembly is good and bad in ways. :) | 02:39 |
|---|
| Cubexombi | mboso w32codecs? | 02:40 |
|---|
| shadowh511 | i get 50 % on snes 9x on linux but in win vista its 200 % | 02:40 |
|---|
| shenron | computers are fast enough now that you probably wouldn't need assembly to run an emulator quickly :p | 02:40 |
|---|

| extracted | Frame Relay -- uses high-quality digital facilities; uses simplified framing with no error correction mechanisms, which means it can send Layer 2 information much more rapidly than other WAN protocols, When ever it says no error correction, does that mean it doesn't have away to deal with a collision, or does it mean it does have redundancy such as the tcp 3 way hand shake ? | 02:41 |

|---|
| regeya | g_ broadcom? oh man...I just saw a...hang on... | 02:46 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | uzerzero: run from terminal and see errors. Are you merging with existing xorg.conf or creating a new one? | 02:47 |
|---|
| Omlette | Broadcom support in Ubuntu is bad, that's my problem with it. :P | 02:47 |
|---|
| g_ | well it wont find any wireless networks even after | 02:47 |
|---|
| g_ | i installed the restricted driver | 02:47 |

| cabrioleur | g_: install it trough ndiswrapper. It's easy. | 02:47 |
|---|
| Omlette | Sometimes, it won't work even with the restricted driver. | 02:47 |
|---|
| g_ | ok | 02:47 |

| regeya | g_ there's also a fixed native driver. | 02:47 |

| wweasel | chrometiger: The first step would be to install a VNC server on your windows box. I used to use TightVNC, RealVNC is popular too | 02:53 |

|---|
| wweasel | Galactic: You have to configure ndiswrapper | 03:01 |
|---|
| Omlette | Oriona, just compile the latest source code yourself. | 03:01 |
|---|
| Galactic | I loaded the driver do I need to do more? | 03:01 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | Galactic, you have to set it up first. Did you install inf/sys file on it? | 03:01 |

|---|
| tiredbones | thanks all, I'll will look at these solutions. | 03:02 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | NelsonUWP: sure, if you have one in firefox 2, just copy the plugin to the directory where firefox 3 is located. | 03:02 |

|---|
| jkfldsjkflds | ewww | 03:03 |
|---|
| nickrud | jkfldsjkflds, epiphany, although it does use the gecko engine | 03:03 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | jkfldsjkflds: konqueror, galeon, epiphany, dillo, lynx, links, elinks, and meny, many more. | 03:03 |
|---|
| wweasel | jkfldsjkflds: What exactly are you looking for in a browser? | 03:03 |
|---|
| jkfldsjkflds | alrighty thanks | 03:03 |
|---|
| jkfldsjkflds | speed, adblock | 03:03 |
|---|
| jkfldsjkflds | thats about it | 03:04 |
|---|
| wweasel | jkfldsjkflds: That you haven't yet found. We might be able to provide you with better advice | 03:04 |
|---|
| jkfldsjkflds | firefox is fast, but not as fast as ie on windows | 03:04 |
|---|
| quittt | so get Opera | 03:04 |
|---|
| nickrud | jkfldsjkflds, epiphany is about as fast as gecko based get | 03:04 |
|---|
| wweasel | jkfldsjkflds: Firefox has adblock. Opera is probably the fastest browser available, (though not OSS), and can do adblock | 03:04 |
|---|
| jkfldsjkflds | ok cool thanks | 03:04 |

| Omlette | Try it in Ubntu. | 03:06 |
|---|
| Omlette | *Ubuntu | 03:06 |
|---|
| f1sh3r | doesnt work | 03:06 |
|---|
| nickrud | f1sh3r, apt-cache show fnfxd says it handles toshiba brightness keys | 03:06 |
|---|
| Cubexombi | I'd like to remove the "ubuntu" user from a live CD remaster? does anyone know if this can even be done? | 03:07 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | f1sh3r: do you have acpi disabled during boot? | 03:07 |
|---|
| NelsonUWP | how do you copy a folder to a different folder in terminal | 03:07 |
|---|
| f1sh3r | dont knwo | 03:07 |
|---|
| Flannel | Cubexombi: sure, it had to be put there in the first place | 03:07 |
|---|
| Omlette | Oriona, go to System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortbuts, and change the keys so that they work for that. | 03:07 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | NelsonUWP: cp -Rfv folder folder | 03:07 |

|---|
| corinth | For gnome. | 03:09 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | bmack: "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration." set up your monitor properly. | 03:09 |
|---|
| Cubexombi | <Flannel> True'nuff, yet I can't seem to find a way to get rid of it. though i did make the account a little less useful. ( which is a good thing / broke the "ubuntu" users sudo ability ) I'd like it to not boot into it though | 03:09 |
|---|
| bmack | how do i do that on here | 03:10 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | Cubexombi: find passwd file and remove the line with the user. | 03:10 |
|---|
| Galactic | ok I looked through the ndiswrapper documents and they seem way too technical I downloaded the ndisgtk and installed the right driver for my broadcom card which is bcmwl5 and its not showing any wireless networks yet is there anything else I should do? | 03:11 |
|---|
| Omlette | Galactic: Type "ndiswrapper -i" in a terminal, and tell us what it says. | 03:12 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | Galactic, there is always something you should do :-) try "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" | 03:12 |
|---|
| Galactic | k | 03:12 |
|---|
| Omlette | Well, do that first. | 03:12 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | Galactic: just make sure you do "ndiswrapper -ma" first. | 03:12 |
|---|
| Flannel | Cubexombi: Well, booting into it is determined by GDM I believe. So you'll need to edit gdm.conf, if you also give it a password, you'll need to know a password to get into it. Also, to remove it you just need to pretend youre usermod, and edit /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd and things like that | 03:12 |
|---|
| Flannel | Cubexombi: or at least, that's the approach I'd take. | 03:12 |
|---|
| Omlette | Galactic: just make sure you do "ndiswrapper -ma" first. <-- What does that do? | 03:13 |
|---|
| Galactic | it says this with the first command | 03:14 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | Omlette: it writes links to modprobe.d afair. | 03:14 |
|---|
| Galactic | sudo ndiswrapper -ma | 03:14 |
|---|
| Galactic | module configuration information is stored in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper | 03:14 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | Galactic: super. Almost there. | 03:14 |
|---|
| cabrioleur | what happens when you do "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper"? | 03:14 |
|---|
| Galactic | ndiswrapper -i I did this and it gave me nothing except for a list of commands | 03:15 |
|---|
| Cubexombi | Flannel sounds like the most probable solution, I've been scratching my head at this, I'm building a USB drive out of the Iso in the end, would like to at least have a false sense of security than none at all... (currently the drive is preloaded with only 1 user who has rights to log on to the company VPN since I broke the "ubuntu" user's sudo ability) | 03:15 |
|---|
| Omlette | My mistake, try "ndiswrapper -l". | 03:15 |
|---|
| Galactic | bcmwl5 : driver installed | 03:16 |
|---|
| Galactic | device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx) | 03:16 |
|---|
| Flannel | Cubexombi: You may want to look into other distros, some that are tailored/meant to be used as a full-time live system | 03:16 |
|---|
| Omlette | Ok, that's a good sign. | 03:16 |
|---|
| Galactic | kk | 03:17 |

| Flannel | Cubexombi: Not saying Ubuntu wont work, but its certainly not designed as a Live-friendly OS | 03:17 |

| Dr_willis | there are better done Live-cd focused live cds out there. :) | 03:17 |

| dalegribble | i'm having an issue with gparted. My partition table has windows as hda1, and my linux partitions as all following. I wanted to shrink the windows partition, which i've done, but am unable to grow the next partition with the gained space. I've tried this on the live cd, and tried changing to ext2 from ext3, to no avail | 03:18 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | I can't enable "secondary screen" | 03:18 |
|---|
| Omlette | Did you unmount the partition first, dalegribble? | 03:18 |
|---|
| Flannel | dalegribble: Which partition are you growing? hda2? | 03:18 |
|---|
| dalegribble | correct | 03:18 |
|---|
| dalegribble | there is roughly 30gb of unallocated space before it, since i shrunk the windows partition | 03:19 |
|---|
| Flannel | dalegribble: you can't grow ext partitions forward, only the tail can be moved. Depending on the sizes, you may still be able to unify them though, through some massaging. | 03:19 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | ahem | 03:19 |
|---|
| Galactic | where do I post what it says? | 03:19 |
|---|
| Flannel | dalegribble: How big is your partition currently? | 03:19 |
|---|
| Galactic | or what should I post? | 03:19 |
|---|
| dalegribble | hda2 is 15gb | 03:19 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | YourOnlyRealFrie, and whats your video card? | 03:19 |
|---|
| Omlette | Is there a line starting with "wlan0"? | 03:19 |
|---|
| Galactic | its under eth1 when i type in iwconfig | 03:19 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | how do I enabled sendary screen? | 03:20 |
|---|
| Cubexombi | Flannel. I've tried to convince the "boss" to do just that, but he likes the fact that with Ubuntu, he knows his way around a bit more... he's a fraid to use anything else.. though it makes me get stuck in front of this laptops doing the twisting of the distro to do something it wasn't intended for. .. | 03:20 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | how? | 03:20 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | eh? | 03:20 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | I really want to know | 03:20 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | and I have no patience | 03:20 |
|---|
| Flannel | dalegribble: or more importantly, what size are the contents. Ah, you've got plenty. What you'll want to do is create an ext3 partition in the 30GB space (a new one) then move the stuff from the 15 to the 30, then delete the 15 and expand the 30 backwards into a 45 | 03:20 |
|---|
| Omlette | eth1? Hmm.. | 03:20 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | YourOnlyRealFrie, for my nvidia based system. I install the nvidia drivers. then use the nvidia tools to enable twinview | 03:20 |

|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | Dr_Willis: Right, I have ATI, where could I access the ATI tools? | 03:21 |
|---|
| nyquist2773 | ToddRDM - Same problem I have a rpm flash player. I need to install rpm or use alien don't know what to do either. | 03:21 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | YourOnlyRealFrie, i have no idea on ati. You will most likely need to install the ATI drivers (the fglrx drivers) then go from there. | 03:21 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | !ati | YourOnlyRealFrie | 03:21 |
|---|
| Flannel | Cubexombi: Fair enough. You know you don't need to, with a USB drive, use the LiveCD itself. You can install a normal system onto the USB, and then just boot to it. | 03:21 |
|---|
| ubotu | YourOnlyRealFrie: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:21 |

| Galactic | this document says to do this (If your wireless device initially shows up as eth1, go back to step 2 and comment out the eth1 line in /etc/iftab. Then resume the rest of the instructions. If you don't comment out the eth1 entry, ndiswrapper won't be able to alias the device as wlan0.) | 03:22 |

| Flannel | dalegribble: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome has an example command. Obviously youre not moving just your home, but thats the idea anyway | 03:23 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | the fact that I'm seeing things on my computer has nothing to do with my drivers? hahaha | 03:23 |

| nyquist2773 | When you install a package or an application where do the temp files go and are they deleted after install? | 03:23 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | thanks | 03:23 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | YourOnlyRealFrie, if you want full support for all te4h features of the video card.. yes.. you need the proper drivers | 03:23 |
|---|
| dalegribble | great thanks, when i create the new partition, will it create with the next partition # (hda3), or will it create hda2, and move the current hda2 to hda3 | 03:23 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | YourOnlyRealFrie, most likely its using the 'common' ati, or vesa drivers at this time | 03:24 |
|---|
| Omlette | Ok, Galactic: sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 03:24 |
|---|
| YourOnlyRealFrie | I know, I was exaggerating | 03:24 |

| errorlevel | I copied my ubuntu installation from one drive to another. Is there a page on re-running the grub installer so that the root partition gets specified correctly? I editted the /boot/grub/menu.lst file but it keeps getting changed back to the old partition. | 03:27 |

| Omlette | Probably, but then it *should* start again. | 03:27 |

|---|
| Galactic | Check the contents of the /etc/iftab file and make sure that no other device has the wlan0 driver name reserved for it: | 03:30 |
|---|
| Galactic | yes how do I alter this? | 03:31 |
|---|
| nickrud | hanasaki, you'd need a himem enabled kernel, I think that's only on amd64 | 03:31 |

| xobius | errorlevel, did you reinstall the grub? | 03:31 |

| Omlette | sudo gedit /etc/iftab | 03:31 |
