| 00:00 | WDC | Demonho-br: What do you mean? |
| 00:00 | Demonho-br | WDC, kubuntu uses kuser |
| 00:00 | WDC | Demonho-br: Oh I see. It's called "Users and Groups" in Ubuntu |
| 00:01 | rr73 | Gnea: you go afk? |
| 00:01 | sonicdevo | Anyone have experience with LVM? I'm having trouble setting it up |
| 00:01 | Jagoo | unop: must be in a typo in there somewhere, says: -bash: export PATH="$PATH:/home/ut3server/ut3-dedicated/Binaries": No such file or directory |
| 00:01 | tonohono | sarthor: What's the command you're entering in Ubuntu to connect via SSH? |
| 00:01 | Demonho-br | WDC, but is it a software .. can i use it in another lnx ? |
| 00:01 | rr73 | Who has scrollback of 20 minutes ago? |
| 00:01 | Jagoo | unop: the directory does in fact exist, copy pasted the path and cded to it |
| 00:01 | sarthor | tonohono, ssh sarthor@192.168.0.100 and then enter button |
| 00:01 | unop | Jagoo, you missing an echo from the command. |
| 00:01 | unop | Jagoo, echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/home/ut3server/ut3-dedicated/Binaries"' | sudo tee -a /etc/bash.bashrc |
| 00:01 | WDC | Demonho-br: Uh, no. It's a Ubuntu thing. |
| 00:01 | jsn | nobody else is having wireless device trouble today? |
| 00:01 | Demonho-br | WDC, thank you very much |
| 00:01 | tonohono | sarthor: And what error comes up? |
| 00:02 | WDC | Demonho-br: No problem |
| 00:02 | sarthor | no error. the terminal get hang |
| 00:02 | Demonho-br | WDC, sorry.. what is the command |
| 00:02 | WDC | jsn: I have seen SO MANY people with wireless issues. |
| 00:02 | Demonho-br | WDC, to run this "users and groups" |
| 00:02 | WDC | Demonho-br: I'm not sure of the command, but it's under system and Administration and at the bottom |
| 00:02 | rr73 | Who has logs of 20 minutes ago? |
| 00:02 | jsn | WDC: got link? |
| 00:02 | unop | Demonho-br, users-admin perhaps |
| 00:02 | Demonho-br | WDC, thank u |
| 00:02 | Demonho-br | unop, thanks |
| 00:02 | WDC | Demonho-br: Anytimne |
| 00:02 | WDC | jsn: Link? |
| 00:03 | sarthor | tonohono, i have mentioned in detail here http://www.linuxpakistan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6963 in the last post |
| 00:03 | adakos | I need some serious help. I reinstalled ubuntu server 6 LTS, and mounted one of my hard drives, it said it needed to check the hard drive -- now im missing LOTS and LOTS of files and folders... |
| 00:03 | jsn | WDC: Well, if it is biting a bunch of people today, maybe there is a link explaining it all, and maybe what to do. |
| 00:03 | Jagoo | unop: thanks, that worked, you have me quite puzzled tho, the resulting appending line from your command looked the same as the one I simply copy/pasted into the config |
| 00:03 | tonohono | sarthor: Ok. Try "ssh -vvv sarthorth@192.168.0.100" (Yes, 3 v's!). If a bunch shows up, upload output to pastebin or in the thread you linked. |
| 00:03 | Jagoo | yet, you way worked |
| 00:03 | jsn | adakos, what was the mount command you entered? |
| 00:04 | sarthor | tonohono, OK. |
| 00:04 | WDC | jsn: well, I haven't seen links, but I have seen about 4 people today, and 5 people yesterday wit' wireless issues. I didn't know how to help them, so I didn't engage |
| 00:04 | adakos | jsn: i used the mount command from the install menu. im not sure, let me check the fstab |
| 00:04 | kiosk | surabaya |
| 00:04 | jsn | adakos, maybe mtab, too |
| 00:04 | unop | Jagoo, so where exactly did you get this error then? i assumed it was at the shell? |
| 00:05 | jsn | I was just thinking that it might not be mounted at the same point, since you didn't say which files were missing. |
| 00:05 | jsn | Like, you mounted a subdevice where before you mounted the whole drive. |
| 00:05 | rr73 | How often are the irc logs updated online? |
| 00:05 | adakos | jsn: mounted /dev/sda1 /media/str1 ext defaults 0 2 |
| 00:05 | WDC | kc8cua, ki4yjl |
| 00:05 | Kalapoika | unop: the command did something and in the end the terminal gave |
| 00:05 | Kalapoika | ***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build Empathy were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden macros were found. Perhaps you need to adjust your ACLOCAL_FLAGS? |
| 00:05 | Demonho-br | unop, users-admin =) |
| 00:05 | unop | rr73, depends on the channel in question |
| 00:05 | adakos | jsn: i had 3 folders: movies, saved, tv |
| 00:05 | Jagoo | unop: I had that error on the shell upon relogon |
| 00:05 | jsn | adakos, and now? |

| 00:08 | Jagoo | unop: nevermind, copy/pasting your exact suggestion did work, I am just puzzled why copypasting it into bash.bashrc didnt |
| 00:08 | jsn | adakos, not sure it will help. I really don't think mounting /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1 would help, though, unless you have a non-standard volume manager |
| 00:08 | Jagoo | unop: and I mean copypasting the export command with path |

| 00:09 | adakos | jsn: i dont see how that would help, but ill try it (since there was one partition, not multiple) |
| 00:09 | rr73 | unop~ can you please search your scroll back for 25 minutes ago? |
| 00:09 | unop | Jagoo, you could have had quotes around the text you pasted - a side effect of some irc clients .. or just some general syntax error |
| 00:09 | jsn | alex101, have you googled "your sigma camera with model number" + "linux" ? |
| 00:09 | sharperguy | Right ok why does shit+backspace restart X/GNOME (not sure which) and more importantly how do I turn it off? |
| 00:09 | tonohono | sarthor: Alright, one moment |
| 00:09 | jsn | adakos, I was just thinking some volume manager might put stuff in the same folder on different partitions? |
| 00:09 | alex101 | Nope but if i do could you help? |
| 00:09 | sarthor | tonohono, if i connect lan cable to my ethernet, then i can access via ssh . .. hope it will clear the problem for you. |

| 00:11 | tonohono | sarthor: Alright. And does putty connect properly whether it is wired or wireless? |
| 00:11 | kevinO | sharperguy, if x freezes, then all you have to do is ctrl alt backspace so you dont have to hard reset your computer |

| 00:11 | alex101 | When i search the sigma cam n model number in google i dont find much of it that can help me. |
| 00:11 | jsn | alex101, AND "linux"? |
| 00:11 | alex101 | Yeah. |
| 00:12 | alex101 | Could you look aswell? |
| 00:12 | klndz03 | unop, I agree. |
| 00:12 | sharperguy | kevin083, That doesn't answer my question though. Shit+backspace seems to restart X/GNOME, forgetting about ctrl+alt+backspace |
| 00:12 | alex101 | Cuz i honestly cant find it ;/ |
| 00:12 | alex101 | jsn: and tbh, i dont want it to of been a waste of money. |
| 00:12 | jsn | alex101, well, try it with a different but similar model number |
| 00:12 | Johnny_5 | well doesn't seem 2 b workin' either... |

| 00:12 | jsn | alex101, you don't want to waste money? Geesh. gedt with the capitalist system! |
| 00:12 | kevinO | sharperguy, is it set as a keyobard shortcut? or is your ctrl key stuck? |
| 00:12 | Johnny_5 | doesn't seem to be workin' |
| 00:12 | klndz03 | unop, All because the power went out when it was updating... |
| 00:12 | jsn | adakos, and your remount and looking showed??? |
| 00:13 | sharperguy | kevin083, my ctrl key isn't stuck |
| 00:13 | unop | Kalapoika, try this first. sudo apt-get build-dep empathy |

| 00:14 | adakos | jsn: would that have done it ? |
| 00:14 | tonohono | sarthor: I hope it's not too much trouble, but could you also pastebin the ssh -vvv when you connect via wired? It may help to compare the output for wired/wireless. |
| 00:14 | sharperguy | kevin083, And I have no idea if its set as a shortcut - it isn't in gnome anyway |
| 00:14 | jsn | adakos, did you mount it as the right type of fs? |
| 00:14 | gleyve | Can I customize my bootscreen? |
| 00:14 | sharperguy | kevin083, ah I think its got something to do with compiz-fusion |
| 00:14 | kevinO | sharperguy, yeah, its not a keyboard shortcut problem |
| 00:14 | adakos | jsn: i set it to auto. shoudl i have set it manually ? |

| 00:36 | Alonea | woah...since when does broadcom make linux drivers for any of their wifi cards? |
| 00:36 | bcurtis | Expl0ited, I've been an IRC user (not necessarily on here) for along time. Not too many relationships i know if spawn from IRC convos. But e-harmony watch out! |
| 00:37 | Expl0ited | Alonea: manufacturers rarely make drivers for their products with linux, its outside programmers that do. |
| 00:37 | Alonea | Expl0ited: I found the driver inside a cab (exe) from the hp site. |
| 00:38 | Expl0ited | Alonea: welcome to the world of linux friendly HP |
| 00:38 | Expl0ited | I said rarely, HP is one of these exceptions. |
| 00:38 | Alonea | Expl0ited: and all of the release notes have broadcoms address and stuff. either way its nifty |
| 00:38 | Alonea | as long as it works. |
| 00:39 | user881 | im having some real problems getting my screen recognized by the nvidia drivers .. ive tried the help pages but am really stuck. could someone help me with this please? |
| 00:39 | Expl0ited | Alonea: ever heard of HPLIP? |
| 00:39 | Expl0ited | its a huge set of driver specifically for HP printers.. |
| 00:40 | Alonea | Expl0ited: no actually. but linux is very good with printers from them I have noticed |
| 00:40 | Alonea | Expl0ited: at least off the top of my head I have heard of hplip. |
| 00:40 | Alonea | have not |
| 00:40 | Alonea | Expl0ited: i need sleep... |
| 00:41 | foxynet | salut |
| 00:41 | Expl0ited | my work printer worked out of the box with linux, the windows users needed special software... |
| 00:41 | Slade | Expl0ited: are u using CUPS to handle printing? |
| 00:41 | Expl0ited | it was HP |
| 00:41 | Expl0ited | slade yeah I was |
| 00:41 | tuxice | HP is very good w/ printers |
| 00:43 | Alonea | Expl0ited: i have noticed that. more points for linux. ^__^ |
| 00:43 | Slade | cool |

| 00:56 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: you can install the same apps in MCE |
| 00:56 | SebNaitsabes | slade: I thought that to, but then I figured it out Media Centre Edition |
| 00:57 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: you can install any app that is in MCE in a standard Ubuntu |
| 00:57 | kapace | what the heck, upgrader gui is telling me to do a partial distro upgrade, but im running 8.04, is there a newer version?? |
| 00:57 | sarthor_ | i ran /etc/init.d/wirelessfix.sh manually too. but no output still. |
| 00:57 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: and you can also install kubuntu really easilley in your current Ubuntu install |
| 00:57 | carlos | I really don't know what app´s mean? |
| 00:58 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: applications |
| 00:58 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: or packages if you like |

| 00:59 | StudentDriver | is it normal for graphics to be noticably lower when running ubuntu than with xp? |
| 00:59 | carlos | OK |
| 00:59 | carlos | Got it |
| 00:59 | bastid_raZor | sarthor_; are you trying to ssh while being root? |

| 01:00 | rickasdf | hmm |
| 01:01 | sarthor_ | bastid_raZor, hmm..Ok. |
| 01:01 | rickasdf | i've decided to give freenode a chance |
| 01:01 | sarthor_ | tonohono, you gone? |
| 01:01 | brendan_ | When i export a directory to a client, and that directory has another file system mounted in one of its subdirectories, clients freeze while trying to access the export |
| 01:01 | rickasdf | how do i register? |
| 01:01 | brendan_ | exports without filesystems mounted in one of there subdirectories work fine |
| 01:01 | brendan_ | also, this worked fine in feisty |
| 01:01 | SebNaitsabes | StudentDriver: what do you mean exactly? |
| 01:02 | StudentDriver | sebnaitsabes: I've noticed that graphics viewed when I'm running XP look significantly clearer than when I use ubuntu. I'm using the same version of firefox on both OS'es |

| 01:03 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: yes |
| 01:03 | carlos | On KDE |
| 01:03 | sarthor_ | tonohono, Yes. Same as b4. |

| 01:03 | carlos | Which one is that? |
| 01:03 | user881 | no joy :( |
| 01:03 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: just like Kubuntu/KDE apps can be run in Ubuntu/Gnome |
| 01:04 | sarthor_ | tonohono, its becoming challanging problem. |
| 01:04 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: synaptic is the GNome way of doing it |
| 01:04 | sarthor_ | challenging* |
| 01:04 | Maczimus | sarthor_ having problems with Broadcomm? |
| 01:04 | carlos | My english is not strong enough |
| 01:04 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: kubuntu has something else that is not as good by a long way |
| 01:04 | sarthor_ | Maczimus, yes. |
| 01:04 | carlos | What that means? |
| 01:04 | purpleback | hi |
| 01:04 | purpleback | hi |

| 01:05 | sarthor_ | Maczimus, everything is fine, but i cant ssh to any other computer from my terminal, and can ssh from putty. |
| 01:05 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: your language is? |
| 01:05 | Maczimus | i got mine to work by hooking in wired, and then opening synaptic package manager, then do a search for fwcutter and select and install the package that has the ubuntu logo it then asked me if i wanted to download the firmware and then it works ndiswrapper not needed |
| 01:05 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: you install kubuntu which is KDE3 |
| 01:05 | purpleback | bastid_raZor: i installed gnome do and it said that when i press the windows key (superkey)+space it should activate it. |
| 01:05 | purpleback | nothing |
| 01:05 | sarthor_ | tonohono, is also trying to figure out the problem. |
| 01:06 | Maczimus | ok |
| 01:06 | SebNaitsabes | carlos: if you want KDE4 as well you can install that as well |
| 01:06 | Maczimus | wierd.. |
| 01:06 | bastid_raZor | purpleback; activate what? |
| 01:06 | purpleback | gnome do |
| 01:06 | Maczimus | sarthor_ sorry, thought you had a problem getting it working at all. |
| 01:07 | bastid_raZor | purpleback; what is gnome do ? |
| 01:07 | christopher_ | carlos, what is the problem? |
| 01:07 | purpleback | google it :D popular program that lets you bring up apps easily |
| 01:07 | purpleback | ok but so how can i find out which key my superkey is? >.> |
| 01:07 | Maczimus | purpleback (it's the Windows key) |
| 01:07 | bastid_raZor | purpleback; the windows key is the super key. |
| 01:08 | purpleback | it's not working |
| 01:08 | purpleback | that's why im asking. |
| 01:08 | KellyCS | question for you.. I'm trying to do something semi-obscure. I'm trying to make an x86 bootable USB stick on my intel mac, so I can install it on my eeepc. Any suggestions of where I should look/start? |
| 01:08 | tonohono | sarthor_: When following the guide at step 2, did you download the sp34152.exe file, or another one? |
| 01:08 | sarthor_ | another one. coz the file is not there. |
| 01:08 | sarthor_ | tonohono, ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/ |
| 01:09 | gaile | hi people.. |
| 01:09 | christopher_ | kelly, you can try the dd command |
| 01:09 | sarthor_ | tonohono, i downloaded ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34152.exe |
| 01:09 | gaile | what package/s we can use for ubunto server to monitor users activity? |
| 01:09 | HiZaM | guys i need help with wubi |
| 01:10 | HiZaM | guys |
| 01:10 | tonohono | sarthor_: Ah, ok. Because your card is revision (rev01) and not (rev02), you need to download wget ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33008.exe instead. |
| 01:10 | StudentDriver | certain graphics on firefox look blotchy when i'm using ubuntu as opposed to windows xp, does anyone know of any possible reasons for this? |
| 01:10 | Slade | gaile: to what extent? |
| 01:11 | sarthor_ | tonohono, shoult i start from step 2?? how to remove the older one?? |
| 01:11 | dumbdum | How do I repair "Grub" please |
| 01:11 | HiZaM | I can't connect through wireless |
| 01:11 | gaile | Slade: i wanna see all their activities... |
| 01:11 | sarthor_ | tonohono, and what will be steps again. and what change i will need to make. |
| 01:11 | tonohono | sarthor_: Follow the guide once more (I hope!) but replace the wget download link in the guide with the one I provided. You might encounter errors running the guide a second time, but ignore them, as you're only replacing existing settings with the same one. |
| 01:11 | newpers | where do i go for bleeding edge packages? |
| 01:11 | bastid_raZor | sarthor_; why are getting an exe file for ubuntu? |
| 01:11 | tonohono | sarthor_: The *only* change should be replacing the sp34125.exe download line with the one I linked :) |
| 01:12 | HiZaM | could anyone help me? |
| 01:12 | sarthor_ | bastid_raZor, Coz i need solution.\\ |
| 01:12 | sarthor_ | ;) |
| 01:12 | purpleback | so how can i set up a superkey? |

| 01:20 | Slade | and if they're using bash, there's a file called bash_history in their home directory which shows all the commands issued |

| 01:22 | Chaotic_Descent | I'm trying to use something called esniper for sniper bidding on eBay and every time I run the command I get "segmentation fault" and it doesn't seem to work. I have no idea what that might imply. |
| 01:22 | Penopticon | sniper bidding is forbidden |
| 01:23 | hololight | chaotic_decent: that is a problem with the program itself |
| 01:23 | sarthor | tonohono, still the same. i restarted the pc. after restarting i can access the net via wlan, but the ssh problem is there. and i think i will also not be able to use kismet. |
| 01:23 | Chaotic_Descent | I'm pretty sure I'm running the right command line and everything. it wants me to point it to files. |
| 01:23 | Chaotic_Descent | sniper bidding is not forbidden. |
| 01:23 | Teisei_ | mralexandro: Right click on the Workspace Switcher applet and select "Preferences" |
| 01:23 | mralexandro | thanks, but i already did that, when i had enabled compiz cube effect |
| 01:23 | mralexandro | it did not work |
| 01:23 | mralexandro | hmm |
| 01:23 | Teisei_ | You should see "Number of workspaces" there |
| 01:23 | mralexandro | i will check it out |
| 01:23 | Teisei_ | I know what you mean now |
| 01:24 | Teisei_ | Hold on |
| 01:24 | mralexandro | ok |
| 01:24 | player1 | ;poasjg';jga |
| 01:24 | hololight | CD: a seg fault is a problem with that program in particular; I recommend contacting the developers. |
| 01:24 | Chaotic_Descent | what's strange is I can't find any esniper file on my HD, despite being able to run it from the command prompt. so I don't know where it's even installed. |
| 01:24 | gaile | Slade: thanks i'll check that out, but is there any packages that can monitor all activities? |
| 01:25 | Chaotic_Descent | hololight: ok, thanks. :( awww. darnit. I really wanted to bid AND go to sleep. |
| 01:25 | Daisuke_Laptop | Chaotic_Descent: try: which esniper |

| 01:31 | Slade | Well then you need to employ certain security policies/packages |
| 01:31 | Slade | gaile: figure out how open your system is, and then start locking it down. |
| 01:32 | Slade | gaile: are you working for some kind of web/shell hosting company? |
| 01:32 | BobPenguin | Hello. I get this in my logs: "GLib-CRITICAL: g_hash_table_lookup_extended: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed" Could some one give me a hint of what does that mean? |
| 01:32 | Slade | BobPenguin: that may be a question better suited for Google.com |
| 01:32 | crdlb | BobPenguin: it means that the app has a bug |
| 01:32 | gaile | Slade: i have to planned.. im doing these for trial only.. i need to know my wya around first |
| 01:33 | BobPenguin | thanks Slade and crdlb |
| 01:33 | crdlb | Slade: don't do that, please |
| 01:33 | Slade | crdlb: ? |
| 01:33 | purpleback | how do i get more than 2 work spaces? :3 |
| 01:33 | BobPenguin | It's ok, I searched at google first... |
| 01:33 | baba_b00ie | bastid_raZor, ty i figured it out |
| 01:33 | Slade | gaile: well, are you giving users access to shell accounts? |
| 01:34 | gaile | Slade: yes sir... |
| 01:34 | linxeh | gaile: "oops" |
| 01:34 | Teisei_ | purpleback: In Compiz or in Metacity ? |
| 01:34 | TubbyCat12 | is there a photo editor similar to ms paint? |
| 01:34 | bastid_raZor | baba_b00ie; cool, good luck |
| 01:34 | crdlb | BobPenguin: can you tell which app is causing it? |
| 01:34 | bastid_raZor | TubbyCat12; gimp |
| 01:34 | BobPenguin | purpleblack: right clik en the any space, go to preferences, change it to more that 3 |
| 01:34 | gaile | linxeh: hi |
| 01:34 | BobPenguin | let me see crdlb |
| 01:34 | mralexandro | Teisei_ it worked. i got 4 walls just by adjusting horizonal size to 4 |
| 01:34 | mralexandro | but whatever i did with the vertical it made no change |
| 01:34 | Teisei_ | mralexandro: Good to hear :) |
| 01:35 | linxeh | gaile: giving users that you dont personally know and trust shell accounts is a dangerous business, especially so if you arent experienced enough to correctly lock your machine down |
| 01:35 | Slade | gaile: ok. well look into chroot jails and stuff like that. Also, if you really wanna be strict, start changing non-common commands' groups into something else, and only give trusted users access to those groups. |
| 01:35 | Teisei_ | Yes |
| 01:35 | mralexandro | is it suposed to add workspaces to top and bottom of the cube |
| 01:36 | Slade | gaile: and there are utilities like tripwire, etc out there that can help you lock your stuff down. |
| 01:36 | Slade | yo bobertdos |
| 01:36 | bobertdos | Hey, Slade! |
| 01:36 | Teisei_ | I don't really know |
| 01:36 | gaile | linxeh and Slade: im going it as trial |
| 01:36 | zboy417 | hey everyone, on my Toshiba A135-S4527 how do i make the volume wheel change the volume less? |
| 01:36 | hololight | tubbycat12: actually The GIMP is closer to photoshop than to ms paint |
| 01:36 | kindofabuzz | i set my default to thunar but some folders still open up with nautilus. any ideas? |
| 01:36 | Teisei_ | Maybe they show up if you are using Expo plugin |
| 01:36 | Slade | gaile: understandable, but you don't want your system to become compromised... trial or not. |
| 01:36 | crdlb | mralexandro: no, the top and bottom cannot be used as workspaces |
| 01:36 | BobPenguin | crdbl: I do not know really how to read logs. Is "gdm[5672]" an application? The whole line reads: "Aug 19 04:02:21 Maggi gdm[5672]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_hash_table_lookup_extended: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed " |
| 01:36 | crdlb | mralexandro: vertical is meant for the Wall plugin only |
| 01:36 | hololight | tubbycat12: try searching 'add/remove programs' or synaptic for "paint" |
| 01:37 | mralexandro | ok i see, thanks:) |
| 01:37 | Slade | BobPenguin: gdm = Gnome Display Manager |
| 01:37 | Teisei_ | crdlb: I bet it works with Expo too ? |
| 01:37 | hololight | bobpenguin gdm handles login and related functions |
| 01:37 | crdlb | Teisei_: yes, but that's not really userfriendly :) |
| 01:37 | Slade | BobPenguin: that's the thing that gives you the graphical login window for gnome...when your computer start. |
| 01:37 | Teisei_ | That's true ^^; |
| 01:38 | Teisei_ | But Vista has only one desktop, and it isn't userfriendly |
| 01:38 | gaile | Slade: got that.. :) thanks guys.. but please do let me know any packages that can log all users activity.. |
| 01:38 | BobPenguin | thanks Slade and Hololight. Should I care about the bug? Does it represent a danger of some sort? |
| 01:38 | Slade | BobPenguin: are you able to login ok |
| 01:38 | BobPenguin | yeah slade |
| 01:38 | Slade | gaile: all logging stuff is done in /var/log |
| 01:38 | Slade | common messages are in /var/log/messages |
| 01:39 | Slade | daemon (process) logs are in /var/log/daemon.log |
| 01:39 | zboy417 | On my Toshiba A135-S4527 when i use the volume wheel it changes the volume really fast...is there a way to slow this down? |
| 01:39 | hololight | BobPenguin: it could, it could not (i am think security); but if everything works.... |
| 01:39 | mralexandro | My first time using ubuntu properly. just want to say. great service and a great OS impression so far. thanks for the help and i guess i will be back ehre alot:) |
| 01:39 | gaile | Slade and linxeh: guys you know website toturials for web/shell hosting? appreciate it guys.. |
| 01:39 | simps | Can anyone suggest a nice VM App to run on Ubuntu? |
| 01:39 | hololight | simps: virtualBox is my fav |
| 01:40 | Slade | gaile: just do a standard search. Though if i were you, I'd go to amazon, barnes and nobles, etc... and look for linux security books. |
| 01:40 | greg_universe_ | i use vbox too |
| 01:40 | linxeh | gaile: google, but I'd advise you take a course in unix security. this is a nightmare. there is a reason few web hosts give shell access |
| 01:40 | BobPenguin | Thanks Hololight. I also have a warning on the application "gdmgreeter[5998]". Guess it is related to login as well. Everything seems to work right. Should I worry about that one? |
| 01:40 | simps | hololight, greg_universe_, virtualbox-ose under synaptic package manager. install that? |
| 01:41 | gaile | Slade: never thought about that.. ok i'll well do that.. |
| 01:41 | Slade | gaile: it's the best reference you'll have |
| 01:41 | greg_universe_ | actually i went to teh site and installed teh deb package |
| 01:41 | jhon007 | hi |
| 01:41 | gaile | linxeh: yah im googling it now, i will take your advise guys.. appreciate it.. |
| 01:42 | gaile | Slade and linxeh: thank you guys... |
| 01:42 | mcw | haaaaaaaaaaaaaay |
| 01:42 | Dr_willis | greg_universe_, that may or may not of installed the proper 'modules' the kernel needs for virtualbox. |
| 01:42 | BobPenguin | Thanks a lot, Slade, Hololight, crdbl for your kind help! UBUNTU FOREVER! |
| 01:42 | linxeh | well, at least until the next big thing comes along :) |
| 01:43 | z1 | Gnea: my programs still freeze up but the usb problem seems to be fixed |
| 01:43 | Slade | gaile: no problem. Even though you're using Ubuntu, you can check out other distro's security books too. You never know what you might learn |
| 01:43 | Slade | BobPenguin: You're welcome |
| 01:43 | linxeh | gaile: I would look at debian security stuff too - more likely to find hardening stuff there imo |
| === z1 is now known as zz |
| 01:43 | mcw | how do you download and install programs from the internet and what form of zipped file is used for ubuntu |
| 01:44 | mcw | tar ect.... |
| 01:44 | gaile | linxeh and Slade: im writing it down now.. im gonna try that... |
| 01:44 | linxeh | mcw: the main way is from the repositories that ubuntu uses by default. packages are in .deb format |
| 01:44 | Slade | mcw: apt-get will get you packages if you know their names. tar, gzip, bzip2, zip, and rar |
| 01:44 | linxeh | mcw: have a look at the synaptic manager, or the command line apt-get / apt-search tools |
| 01:44 | SilverWolf | Hi, is there a way i can restore the default apache2 configurations files?, when i delete the /etc/apache2 dir and removes/install apache2 package, the configuration is not installed again |
| 01:44 | hololight | mcw: .deb for pre compiled packages, .tar.gz usually for source |
| 01:44 | frostbyt3 | RequinB4: can you finish helping me, I'm at the part where it wants me to add bcm43xx to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file |
| * gaile ok guys gtg.. i'll be back if i have some questions that might pop up :) thanks to you both.. |
| 01:44 | Slade | mcw: try the Synaptic Package Manager (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager) |
| 01:44 | zz | in 8.04 ubuntu my programs seem to not respond and go grey and are really slow and won't start some of them |
| 01:45 | linxeh | hololight: or .deb for source :) |
| 01:45 | RequinB4 | frostbyt3: what is the problem |
| 01:45 | mcw | what do you do with them (how do you open them after you have down loaded them) |
| * Slade is not a fan of pre-compiled packages. |
| 01:45 | zz | I can't even login after I kill gdm/xserver and no sound whatsover |
| 01:45 | joecurlee | hi all, using ubuntu 8.04... can't get a static wireless connection to my linksys router |
| 01:45 | joecurlee | any suggestions? |
| 01:45 | foug | i'm having trouble with ping and traceroute. Ping gives me 100% packet loss, and traceroute doesn't do anything. I've installed the traceroute package |
| 01:45 | linxeh | mcw: the apt tools install them for you and manage the packages. |
| 01:46 | Slade | mcw: well, using the graphical way, right click on the app, go to the archive manager and use that |
| 01:46 | mcw | synaptic package manager |
| 01:46 | frostbyt3 | when im adding a line do i have to put the # sign? |
| 01:46 | zz | xvzf path |
| 01:46 | frostbyt3 | in gedit |
| 01:46 | TJ-Linux | I have a .flp floppy drive image and need to get a file from it, but I have no floppy drive to create a floppy on -- how do I mount this as a drive? |
| 01:46 | Slade | mcw: or, command line ... tar zxvf file.tar.gz or tar jxvf file.tar.bz(2), or unrar/unzip file.rar or file.zip |
| 01:46 | joecurlee | i'm using system > administration > network to set a static ip address... can't ping google or anything else |
| 01:46 | mcw | I already know how to use that but what if a program is zipped tar. ect..... |
| 01:46 | Esqulax | A bit of donut has gotten jammed between the keys on my keyboard. do i leave it or try to poke it out with a pencil? |
| 01:47 | zz | Esqulax: buy a new keyboard |
| 01:47 | joker | how come you can not install a rpm on a Debian sys |
| 01:47 | linxeh | mcw: if its not on synaptic, then you normally will be building it from source code - ie a .tar.gz |
| 01:47 | zz | rpm is fedora |
| 01:47 | quio | Hi Everybody. Anyone kn ow a good app that can play a section of an mp3 song on repeat? |
| 01:47 | linxeh | joker: you can |
| 01:47 | joecurlee | Esqulax: lick it out and put the pics on the internet |
| 01:47 | wasabi | You can with caveats. |
| 01:47 | mcw | what do you open it with and what do you unzip it with |
| 01:47 | s3a | joker: install a package called alien |
| 01:47 | hololight | joker: you can in some cases.... you need a program called alien |
| 01:47 | s3a | joker: u can use that to convert a .rpm to a .deb |
| 01:47 | sajid | I am having a very odd problem: my computer seems to think the "L" key is always pressed, but only in certain contexts. I have <Super>+L mapped to Lock Screen, so If I press <Super> it locks the screen, but it doesn't incessently type "L" in a text box |
| 01:47 | joker | I tryed rpm -i will not |
| 01:47 | Slade | joker: because rpm is really built for redhat linux and its sub-distros |
| 01:47 | sajid | anyone have idea? |
| 01:47 | linxeh | joker: but normally you dont want to. RPM is for redhat. yuck. .deb is for debian/ubuntu - mmmmmm : |
| 01:47 | mcw | I don't know how to compile source code yet |
| 01:48 | linxeh | joker: good. dont install rpms on ubuntu. ubuntu is ubuntu, not fedora |
| 01:48 | elec | tea.com |
| 01:48 | Esqulax | source code? gcc |
| 01:48 | Slade | mcw: What are you trying to install? |
| 01:48 | mcw | afraid to screw something up |
| 01:48 | joker | I tryed the Tar file but it will not install |
| 01:48 | hololight | joker: alien (tries) to turn a rpm into a deb |
| 01:48 | linxeh | joker: what are you trying to install... ? |
| 01:48 | joker | Ever tryed to install affix |
| 01:48 | Esqulax | Screw it up.. s'all part of learning :) |
| 01:48 | Slade | joker: you need to extract the tar file. tar zxvf file.tar.gz |
| 01:48 | quio | Hi Everybody. Anyone know a good app that can play a section of an mp3 song on repeat? |
| 01:48 | zz | on my 8.04 ubuntu my programs run slow and don't start and after i kill xserver (ctrl\alt\backspace) I login but i get my background screen for login manager |
| 01:48 | joker | I did that part |
| 01:48 | linxeh | Esqulax: for some people - they reckon 30% of people can't learn from mistakes though due to low levels of dopamine :o |
| 01:48 | mcw | nothing it's just the only thing I can't figure out in ubuntu |
| 01:48 | Esqulax | Yep. an ipod |
| 01:49 | linxeh | joker: what are you trying to install ? |
| 01:49 | mcw | that and how wine works |
| 01:49 | greg_universe_ | lol |
| 01:49 | joker | Affix kernel |
| 01:49 | Esqulax | 60% of stats are made up ;) |
| 01:49 | HiZaM | wasn't it 80% |
| 01:49 | bobertdos | quio: You could accomplish that with Audacity. |
| 01:49 | linxeh | Esqulax: if you are going to quote something, quote it right |
| 01:49 | hololight | lol |
| 01:49 | Slade | mcw: well, again. in terminal type tar zxvf /path/to/file (ie tar zxvf /home/mcw/myfile.tar.gz) |
| 01:49 | joker | And I come up with major err |
| 01:49 | Slade | then, cd /home/mcw/myfile |
| 01:49 | Slade | then, ./configure && make && make install |
| 01:49 | Esqulax | Hey.. it was quoted from me. They got it wrong |
| 01:49 | mcw | what does that do? |
| 01:49 | joker | brb |
| 01:49 | mcw | open it |
| 01:50 | Slade | mcw: extracts, configures, and installs |
| 01:50 | Esqulax | Wow. IanIan. i know an Ian Ian |
| 01:50 | mcw | so you have to remember that command |
| 01:50 | Slade | mcw: give it a week or two.. it'll become second nature :) |
| 01:50 | linxeh | mcw: that works if the source was designed to be compiled that way. usually there is an INSTALL File in the zip, or instructions on the website |
| 01:51 | zz | Slade it depends on the program as well, some don't need make install and isnt it sude make install? |
| 01:51 | mcw | thank you you are nicer than some of these people on here |
| 01:51 | zz | sde -> sudo |
| 01:51 | linxeh | zz: depends where the install target deploys to |
| 01:51 | linxeh | generally NEVER run sudo make anything without reading the Makefile to see what it does |
| 01:51 | Slade | zz: yeah. i always forget the sudo. I come from a background where i always have root to install :) |
| 01:51 | dreamzr4u | hi, this is raj and i have a query regarding ubuntu |
| === greg_universe_ is now known as greg_universe |
| 01:51 | linxeh | dreamzr4u: ask away :) |
| 01:52 | zz | linxeh: my programs run slow and after killing my xserver and logging in i get the background for the login manager |
| 01:52 | dreamzr4u | grub loading then error 15 |
| 01:52 | joecurlee | so yea... ubuntu 8.04, static wireless connection to linksys won't work |
| 01:52 | joecurlee | can't find info on google |
| 01:52 | mcw | I just want to be able to do anything I can do in windows on linux and it seems like ubuntu is the best distro because I have tried out allot of the other distros |
| 01:53 | mcw | installed and tried |
| 01:53 | Slade | mcw: ubuntu is nice. |
| 01:53 | joecurlee | dhcp wireless works fine |
| 01:53 | mcw | it seems to have the most support |
| 01:53 | Slade | mcw: i'd start by searching the web for a beginners course in linux. It'll give you the basics. |
| 01:53 | Esqulax | mcw: windows will always have a certain amount of muscle, but you can do more with linux |
| 01:53 | linxeh | joecurlee: I had that problem I think - I think it is to do with the linksys wanting you to use uPNP to register the address, but not sure, DHCP seems to work fine |
| 01:53 | zz | linxeh: they don't even run, I get a white blank box if i clicked for a terminal, the panals won't respond(pager,trash) |
| 01:54 | Esqulax | ubuntu is cool cos it pretty much works straight of on my wind :) |
| 01:54 | mcw | I have a dual boot dual hd system vista and linux ubuntu studio because I am a musician |
| 01:54 | joecurlee | linxeh thanks |
| 01:54 | linxeh | joecurlee: that might be a red herring though :o |
| 01:54 | joecurlee | linxeh looks like that might be the issue looking in to it now |
| 01:54 | mcw | and an artist |
| 01:54 | Esqulax | mcw: i found garage band on Leopard (Mac OSX) was awesome for that |
| 01:55 | linxeh | zz: no idea sorry, I'd check from a console what programs are still running when you log out, maybe either reboot or restart gdm |
| 01:55 | zz | gdm restart doesnt fix it |
| 01:55 | mcw | but computers are new to me all that I know is from what people have taught me and from what I have read |
| 01:55 | linxeh | zz: or stop gdm, kill all lingering X / gnome related processes, and try again |
| 01:55 | zz | im using finch right now in a virtual tty linxeh |
| 01:55 | linxeh | mcw: I'm a musician too |
| 01:56 | SebNaitsabes | mcw: so you hardly have any Windows experience even? |
| 01:56 | linxeh | zz: I'm not an ubuntu expert, I just use it at home - by day I'm using Redhat enterprise and other unix systems, and just sit here to help where I can, sorry :o |
| 01:56 | Esqulax | mcw: fair enough. Wehn you get a chance niip into a nearby Apple store and ask to be shown garage band.. once your over the 1st hurdle, its really great |
| 01:56 | mcw | can I use garage band in linux or windows or do I have to install mac os on an amd or an intell |
| 01:56 | mcw | ? |
| 01:56 | linxeh | mcw: garageband is osx only, and you can only run it on macs (legally) |
| 01:56 | zz | linxeh: but it is constant, i think Gnea helped my usb problems though, might as well edit my grub |
| 01:56 | linxeh | there is ardour for linux though |
| 01:57 | mcw | no I have about 4 years windows experience and 1 year linux |
| 01:57 | zz | :-P |
| 01:57 | evild_ | The trash icon used to be in the bottom right hand corner of my screen in Ubuntu. I accidentally removed it and dont know how to get it back there. Can anyone help? |
| 01:57 | xinnix | you could probaly run it inside a VM OSX |
| 01:57 | xinnix | as well |
| 01:57 | linxeh | xinnix: not legally |
| 01:57 | zz | evild_: right click and add aplet as trash i beleif |
| 01:57 | Esqulax | If your systems up to it |
| 01:57 | mcw | but I just took an a+ course wich helped a little bit |
| 01:57 | hololight | mcw: as a general rule, mac apps will only work on a mac, and it takes serious skill and a lot of time to get mac osx to run on a non-mac (I scragged a hd trying) |
| 01:58 | SebNaitsabes | mcw: you can run Windows inside a virtual machine inside Linux if there is a good reason. say, because of some program that won't work in Wine |
| 01:58 | KRF | linxeh, thats not legal? |
| 01:58 | solexious | [Q] Not all programs use the usb device set in system->prefs-> sound. Any ideas? |
| 01:58 | evild_ | right click where? |
| 01:58 | dreamzr4u | hey guys i am getting an "grub loading plaease wait error 15 " |
| 01:58 | linxeh | KRF: well, not if you beleive in the legality of EULAs |
| 01:58 | KRF | linxeh, windows either? |
| 01:58 | xinnix | legal...lol |
| 01:58 | xinnix | *legall |
| 01:58 | linxeh | KRF: running windows in a VM is fine |
| 01:58 | crimsun | solexious: because that setting only affects GStreamer-based applications. It doesn't actually set the default audio device for non-GSt-based apps. |
| 01:58 | KRF | okay... |
| 01:59 | mcw | I don't really understand vm ware yet I understand how it works in theory but have never used it yet is it free? |
| 01:59 | hololight | xinnix: what is this "legal" you speak of? |
| 01:59 | zz | evild_: down where trash used to be |
| 01:59 | KRF | mcw, yes |
| 01:59 | KRF | !virtualbox |
| 01:59 | ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox |
| 01:59 | xinnix | nothing i just understand |
| 01:59 | mcw | cool |
| 01:59 | KRF | mcw ^ |
| 01:59 | xinnix | =) |
| 01:59 | linxeh | KRF: apple dont want you to run OSX in a VM or on non-Apple hardware. which is fair enough - they dont want the support headaches. |
| 01:59 | Esqulax | legal.. its a word that closed source corporate fatcats use |
| 01:59 | zz | !emu |
| 01:59 | ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about emu |

| 01:59 | KRF | !emo |
| 01:59 | ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about emo |
| 01:59 | evild_ | it dosent give me that option zz |
| 01:59 | mcw | is that a link? |
| 01:59 | dreamzr4u | Hi, I am getting an error message "error 15" |
| 01:59 | SebNaitsabes | !virtualbox |
| 01:59 | xinnix | iam not really good with linux |
| 01:59 | crimsun | solexious: to do that, you need to use an asoundrc and restart all audio apps, e.g., see the asoundconf utility that Ubuntu includes. |
| 01:59 | xinnix | still trying to get use the command line |
| 01:59 | SebNaitsabes | !vbox |

| 02:00 | zz | evild_: i would help you but my gnome seems to be locking up lol |
| 02:00 | xinnix | been on windows too long and decided i would swtich it, VMs help alot |
| 02:00 | zz | something in taking over my computer |
| 02:00 | solexious | crimsun, just hit asoundconf in shell? |
| 02:00 | linxeh | Esqulax: its a word that civilised society uses to denote something that is unacceptable to the population as a whole :P |
| 02:00 | evild_ | lol :\ |
| 02:00 | KRF | mcw, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox - its easy to setup imo |
| 02:00 | evild_ | i guess its not all that big of a deal i just go to places/home folder and there trash is |
| 02:00 | mcw | I relly like linux though the fact that it doesn't get viruses and all that |
| 02:00 | frostbyt3 | can someone help me with this...http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ I'm on step 2 and I can't save the file b/c it says I dont have the permissions, but I think I do |
| 02:00 | xinnix | iam still trying to figure out how to change user from root in a shell and switch to a new one |
| 02:01 | linxeh | mcw: it will get viruses at some point |
| 02:01 | duiu | Is there a way to use anacron or cron so that something runs after something else finishes? |
| 02:01 | crimsun | solexious: a bit more involved than that, but yes, essentially that's the workflow. |
| 02:01 | xinnix | i love linux |
| 02:01 | SebNaitsabes | mcw: Linux is not immune to viruses |
| 02:01 | mcw | that's vm ware running in linux? |
| 02:01 | SebNaitsabes | mcw: just as of right now hardly any viruses will work on a modern Linux |
| 02:01 | KRF | mcw, nearly. |
| 02:01 | solexious | crimsun, okies doie, will google |
| 02:01 | solexious | crimsun, ty |
| 02:01 | xinnix | did i mention I LOVE LINUX |
| 02:01 | KRF | if you're familar with vmware, use that |
| 02:01 | mcw | or windows or mac os running i vm ware on linux? |
| 02:01 | xinnix | especially the bactrack distro's |
| 02:01 | Dr_willis | linux is a very 'harsh' enviroment for a virus to live in. :) |
| 02:01 | xinnix | running it on windows |
| 02:02 | SebNaitsabes | mcw: you cannot just run Mac OS X on a PC it is not like the others |
| 02:02 | zz | hey Dr_willis |
| 02:02 | xinnix | VMing the linux enviornments |
| 02:02 | thenetduck | how can I check to see if I am running a 64 bit operating system in my live session? |
| 02:02 | Dr_willis | zz, hay. |
| 02:02 | thenetduck | is there a terminal command that can tell me? |
| 02:02 | mcw | ok |
| 02:02 | SebNaitsabes | mcw: it is possible to get Mac OS X running on a PC, but that is more complacated |
| 02:02 | zz | thenetduck: uname -a |
| 02:02 | hololight | one thing to remember about vm's though, they do not 'emulate' 3d accelerators |
| 02:02 | frostbyt3 | can someone help me with this...http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ I'm on step 2 and I can't save the file b/c it says I dont have the permissions, but I think I do |
| 02:02 | dreamzr4u | hey ppl .. does anyone know abt the error 15 while loading grub? |
| 02:02 | SebNaitsabes | mcw: and then it probably won't run as good as on real Mac hardware |
| 02:02 | linxeh | Dr_willis: not really - it would be easy to code something up that ran gksudo and ask for the users password, and most users that get viruses on Windows would be just as vulnerable... |
| 02:02 | Dr_willis | hololight, vmware and virtualbox i hear are 'working' on that. |
| 02:02 | thenetduck | zz: thank you |
| === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja |
| 02:02 | zz | Dr_willis: gnome seems to be locking up |
| 02:02 | KRF | dreamzr4u, can have various reasons |
| 02:02 | KRF | !grub |
| 02:02 | ubottu | 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 |
| 02:03 | zz | thenetduck: did that work? it shows kernel information |
| 02:03 | KRF | dreamzr4u, try to read through that or google your error |
| 02:03 | mcw | I haven't even figured out how to use all the paackages or programs on ubuntu studio yet |
| 02:03 | dreamzr4u | KRF : i had installed 6.06 on a old dell and after rebooting it gives that msg |
| 02:03 | Dr_willis | linxeh, then we start getting into the argument of a 'virus' vs a 'trojan' and so forth. we had a huge discussion/flamefest of this the other week in here. :) so i aint even going to start. |
| 02:03 | mcw | but I'm an awsome guitarist |
| 02:03 | KRF | dreamzr4u, thats pretty old, tho |
| 02:03 | dreamzr4u | KRF,I went thru google and it asks me to use a grub boot disk |
| 02:03 | xinnix | bye everyone bbl |
| 02:03 | Dr_willis | linxeh, the weakest link - will always be the end user. :) |
| * Pelo always shows up to seem the most obscure comments |
| 02:03 | mcw | and can play bass and drums and keyboards too |
| 02:04 | dreamzr4u | KRF, i have 7.10 and 8.04 but it is not getting recognized by the dell :( |
| 02:04 | KRF | dreamzr4u, i'd suggest to upgrade anyway |
| 02:04 | KRF | oh |
| 02:04 | SebNaitsabes | mcw: and you can get a lot of Windows programs working well on Linux with Wine |
| 02:04 | KRF | dunno then, grub is a beast |
| 02:04 | SebNaitsabes | mcw: a WIndows virtual machine should be a last resort :) |
| 02:04 | Pelo | anyone know of a series of test images to setup a monitor's light contrast and colours properly ? |
| 02:04 | dreamzr4u | KRF, my HP has 8.04 and it is cool |
| 02:04 | dreamzr4u | but thedell is giving probs |
| 02:04 | adakos | howdy folks. does anyone know of a good way to batch encode DVDs? im looking to turn my entire movie collection into a digital archive. I've got 100 movies and ive been ripping them to my hardddrive over the past week, so now ive got close to 4TiB of dvd images ... looking for a batch command =) |
| 02:05 | linxeh | Dr_willis: yep. ok, no reason a virus cant live in userspace, or exploit some dodgy daemon - its not immune, but the risks are less than on windows granted :) |
| 02:05 | ganymede | hello, does anyone if ubuntu stays up to date with the newest fglrx? the fglrx package for hardy seems to be 8.3, which gives me a lot of diagonal tearing problems. is there a easy way to install a newer version with the package manager, or must i do it manually? |
| 02:05 | evild_ | Anyone know of a good keylogger for Ubuntu? |
| 02:05 | linxeh | evild_: ouch. |
| 02:05 | thenetduck | zz: yes, it worked perfectly |
| 02:05 | zz | yay I helped someone! |
| 02:05 | dreamzr4u | any ideas on how i make a grub boot disk using a usb stick? |
| 02:05 | SebNaitsabes | !grub |
| 02:05 | ubottu | 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 |
| 02:05 | thenetduck | zz: I am having a problem though. I am trying to delete my old ubuntu partition with partition editor but it doesn't seem to work |
| 02:06 | zz | thenetduck: doesnt seem to work how? |
| * SebNaitsabes what happended to the mods in this channel? |
| 02:06 | mcw | I'd rather a dual boot untill I understand better |
| 02:06 | thenetduck | zz: It tells me : Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than ..... when I try to delete it |
| 02:06 | Flannel | SebNaitsabes: eh? |
| 02:06 | Dr_willis | linxeh, then ya got the argument ' if the virus is expliting a bug in some service' is it actually a 'linux virus' :) but theres tons of threads/flamefests on this topic. some actually have some good info. most dont. :) |
| 02:06 | frostbyt3 | thenetduck: are you running vista |
| 02:06 | mcw | that way I['m not stuck with either |
| 02:06 | frostbyt3 | can someone help me with this...http://invaleed.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/install-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-ubuntu-710/ I'm on step 2 and I can't save the file b/c it says I dont have the permissions, but I think I do |
| 02:06 | SebNaitsabes | Flannel: there you are :D I think your a mod yes |
| 02:06 | thenetduck | frostbyt3: my first partition is vista yes |
| 02:06 | mcw | yes |
| 02:07 | mcw | vista is new to me as well |
| 02:07 | zz | mcw: i have a dual boot with windows as not my first hardrive, but physically it is, i don't boot off of the primary |
| 02:07 | arcos | i need help connecting to a wireless printer on my wifi network, how do you do it? |
| 02:07 | SebNaitsabes | Flannel: where's jack sparrow and people like that? |
| 02:07 | Bruners | What is the recommended partition size for ubuntu? |
| 02:07 | zz | mcw: took me a week to figure out how to fix grub |
| 02:08 | Flannel | Bruners: you need at least 2.1G + space for personal files |
| 02:08 | mcw | I choose my boot from the boot menu f8 |
| 02:08 | frostbyt3 | thenetduck: go here: http://vista.blorge.com/2008/02/22/how-to-dual-boot-vista-with-ubuntu/ and just delete, and re allocate it |
| 02:08 | Flannel | Bruners: I think 4G is the "recommended" minimum |
| 02:08 | thenetduck | thank you |
| 02:08 | frostbyt3 | yep |
| 02:08 | zz | mcw: I choose it froma nice splash-screened grub menu :-D |
| 02:08 | mcw | I wouldn't know how to fix a grub I would just reinstall |
| 02:08 | mralexandro | can i create a shortcut to a folder on my windows disk on the ubuntu desktop? |
| 02:09 | zz | Dr_willis: any ideas where to start with my gnome locking up problem? |
| 02:09 | Flannel | SebNaitsabes: Around. Always watching... |
| 02:09 | adakos | can anyone tell me how to batch convert dvd images to divx/xvid? (im trying to get my video library to my harddrive) or even where to start looking? |
| 02:09 | mcw | same hard drive or dual boot on the same hard drive |
| 02:09 | dreamzr4u | "secondary hard disk drive 0 not found " any ideas folks? |
| 02:09 | SebNaitsabes | Flannel: oh right ok |
| 02:09 | Uplink | what application do i need to start programing in C/C++? im a beginner |
| 02:09 | Bruners | Flannel: thanks |
| 02:09 | SebNaitsabes | Uplink: Dev C++ is good |
| 02:09 | th0r | adakos, mount the iso images using fuseiso then rip them using acidrip |
| 02:09 | zz | mcw: triple boot on three different hardrives, two constant systems and an extra smaller hd to experiment |
| 02:09 | zelrikriando | Uplink, emacs |
| 02:09 | mcw | I have two hard drives and two computers and a kvm switch as well confusing? |
| 02:09 | ^Someone^ | I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found |
| 02:10 | frostbyt3 | can someone help me add a line to a file in gedit |
| 02:10 | mcw | cool!!! |
| 02:10 | ^Someone^ | And indeed, I can't find any sqlite .h files anywhere |
| 02:10 | zz | mcw: i use a kvm as well, but i am taking this one with me. the other two are staying home |
| 02:10 | Uplink | SebNaitsabes, Dev C++? isnt that for windows? |
| 02:10 | zelrikriando | SebNaitsabes, what s Dev C++ ? |
| 02:10 | arcos | can someone help me with printer issues |
| 02:10 | Uplink | zelrikriando, emacs is for C and C++? |
| 02:10 | Flannel | Uplink: As far as IDEs go, check out anjuta, or eclipse (with cdt) |
| 02:10 | SebNaitsabes | Uplink: what I am thinking of I think runs on Linux as well |
| 02:10 | Wizard2694 | can someone tell walk me through mounting my external hdd drive |
| 02:10 | Wizard2694 | its usb 2.0 |
| 02:10 | adakos | thOr/th0r: i have close to 100 images. is that the easiest way ? |
| 02:10 | mcw | I tried that with three hard drives windows, vista, and ubuntu |
| 02:10 | Wizard2694 | ntfs format |
| 02:10 | zelrikriando | Uplink, emacs is just a text editor :p |
| 02:11 | SebNaitsabes | Uplink: open up syanpatic package manager and search for C++ or look under programming that's an idea |
| 02:11 | th0r | adakos, I don't know of any other |
| 02:11 | zelrikriando | Uplink, but that's all you need right? :p |
| 02:11 | Uplink | ok thank you |
| 02:11 | zz | mcw: i still didnt get rid of the windows bootloader |
| 02:11 | Uplink | a compiler... isnt it? i wanna start learning how to program in C/C++ |
| 02:11 | adakos | thOr/th0r: fair enough, thanks. ill look into it :) |
| 02:11 | Wizard2694 | can anyone help me out? |
| 02:11 | ilembitov | Hi, all. I have a question. I want to have fresher apps than those currently in 8.04 but don't want to use Intrepid repos. And getdeb.net isn't fresh enough either. Is there any repo with newer apps? Not things like toolchain. But I want Banshee 1.2.1, Transmission 1.32, Pidgin 2.5.0 and so on |
| 02:11 | baba_b00ie | when i installed ubuntu 8.04 i had hdb1 as ex3 now i formatted it to fat32. how do i reflect those changes for automount during boot |
| 02:11 | carandraug | Wizard2694, fisrt make a directory to mount the hd |
| 02:11 | Flannel | Uplink: Indeed, you'll need a compiler. install build-essential, and you'll have the compiler and stuff. |
| 02:11 | mcw | but the windows was a 10 gig that was old and started to make clicking noises so I got rid of it!! |
| * Slade wonders how many workspaces his computer can support :) |
| 02:12 | hololight | uplink: I really recommend using a text editor to begin with and use g++ from the cli to compile |
| 02:12 | Flannel | ilembitov: No |
| 02:12 | carandraug | Wizard2694, yes |
| 02:12 | titanhoss | so, is atheros wifi working for 64 bit yet? |
| 02:12 | th0r | adakos, why rip them if they are already iso files? just mount them with fuseiso and watch them |
| * zz cheers Slade on, GO GO GO GO!!! |
| 02:12 | SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: no don't think so, but if you do for example the winheq.org for wine you will at least always have the latest Wine for Ubuntu |
| 02:12 | ^Someone^ | Repeat: I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found |
| 02:12 | Flannel | ilembitov: Well, the apps might have repos for themselves, winehq keeps a wine repo for instance. |
| 02:12 | linxeh | Uplink: you need to install gcc and g++ (probably build-essential) and some kind of editor. you might want to look at an IDE later on once you know how things work - try joining #C++ or similar |
| 02:12 | Uplink | Flannel, i have build-essential... but i dont see it where to open it |
| 02:12 | Slade | zz: nah, im too lazy. 4 workspaces is enough for me |
| 02:12 | zz | I am sick of having to basicly shut down my system everytime gnome locks up |
| 02:12 | adakos | thOr/th0r: they are taking up most of my serverspace. i have around 100 iso's and they are between 3.6~5.6 GiB each |
| 02:12 | Flannel | Uplink: you don't open it, compilers are command line things. Which is why you probably want an IDE |
| 02:13 | carandraug | Wizard2694, create a directory to mount it, for example mkdir /media/drive/ |
| 02:13 | mcw | I understand what things are but I don't always know how to use them or how to get there |
| 02:13 | ilembitov | Damn. I wish Ubuntu backports were more active... |
| 02:13 | Uplink | !ide |
| 02:13 | ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ide |
| 02:13 | Uplink | uhhh :S |
| 02:13 | Uplink | what is IDE? |
| 02:13 | linxeh | Uplink: integrated development environment. you dont want it yet |
| 02:13 | Flannel | Uplink: anjuta or eclipse (with -cdt) |
| 02:13 | th0r | adakos, agreed. I have converted many of mine to avi files for the same reason. But I don't know an easy or batch method |
| 02:13 | SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: I belive Fedora Core is more on the cutting edge when it comes to new programs then Ubuntu is |
| 02:13 | linxeh | Flannel: not yet :/ he's new. he needs to know how things work first |
| 02:13 | Uplink | ok let me google all this programs ty |
| 02:13 | Wizard2694 | where do i do that from? |
| 02:13 | adakos | thOr/th0r: i just moved into an apartment with 5 other guys, and they are slobs. I want to put my movies up on my server so they can watch them over the network, and keep their grubby hands off my collection! |
| * zz throws an IDE cable at linxeh |
| 02:13 | zelrikriando | Uplink, emacs and a compiler and a good C++ book is all you need for now...really |
| 02:14 | linxeh | Uplink: do not use eclise or anjuta yet imo - lots of black magic will happen otherwise |
| 02:14 | Uplink | so Flannel, what exactly do i need? im about to start learning C/C++ |
| 02:14 | linxeh | gedit and a compiler will do for now |
| 02:14 | ilembitov | SebNaisabes: Yes, I know. That's why I prefer Fedora more. But they make the toolchain bleeding-edge, too, which isn't nice |
| 02:14 | Wizard2694 | ok |
| 02:14 | linxeh | and a terminal |
| 02:14 | zelrikriando | linxeh, gedit sucks |
| 02:14 | Flannel | Uplink: Suggest you move the conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic, its sort of half out of scope of this channel |
| 02:14 | titanhoss | ahh, too busy I guess. |
| 02:14 | SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: and the Ubuntu repos are based on Debian as a result a lot of stuff is weill behind |
| * zz throws a pythong interpretor at linxeh |
| 02:14 | linxeh | zelrikriando: I'm an emacs fan too. lets not get into emacs with beginners either... |
| 02:14 | Uplink | sorry its just that a lot of ppl recommending different applications... im quite confused which one to use |
| 02:14 | carandraug | Wizard2694, if your problem is because when you try to mount it automatically it complains and says to force it, it's because you didn't removed it properly from Windows |
| 02:14 | hololight | uplink: (i am sure i will get yelled at for this...) and ide has a lot of shortcuts and other things to make a developers life easier. you should likely be working from scratch if you are just beginning |
| 02:14 | frostbyt3 | flannel: thank you no ones helping |
| 02:15 | baba_b00ie | when i installed ubuntu 8.04 i had hdb1 as ex3 now i formatted it to fat32. how do i reflect those changes for automount during boot |
| 02:15 | biouser | http://www.songtrellis.com/sounds/viewer$3919 can someone please tell me what is going on with this media? |
| 02:15 | zz | is anyone having trouble with gnome locking up and no programs working properly ie they all turn grey |
| 02:15 | Wizard2694 | that is when i turn it on |
| 02:15 | zelrikriando | linxeh, I stick with nedit for some reason, I really hate gedit |
| 02:15 | Wizard2694 | how do i remove it first |
| 02:15 | SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: you could probably use the Debian repo in Ubuntu and get later versions of programs like that, but some may not work on Ubuntu or cause problems |
| 02:15 | Wizard2694 | im too used to windows and trying to understand this now |
| 02:15 | ilembitov | SebNaitsabes: Debian is nice in this terms, but it won't really get updated until Lenny, it's all Frozen until September |
| 02:15 | Flannel | Uplink: /join #ubuntu-offtopic and we'll help |
| 02:15 | Wizard2694 | it just says unable to mount |
| 02:15 | hololight | uplink: the default text editor you recieved with ubuntu will do syntax highlighting for c++, then you can compile from the command line |
| 02:15 | adakos | I have a command-line program, i want to pass the same parameters to a whole bunch of files, what's the easist way to do a batch command? (i know in winxp i could make a *.bat file) -- is there something similar for linux ? |
| 02:16 | ^Someone^ | Repeat: I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found |
| 02:16 | SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: that's the stable I guess not the one they keep on updating? |
| 02:16 | Uplink | hololight, ok? i'll try that :| |
| 02:16 | biouser | it is .mid |
| 02:16 | ozpowermo | Hi all, nautilus is not starting up automatically when I boot up ubuntu (hardy amd64)... does anybody know how I can reinstall nautilus and/or make it start automatically on boot up? |
| 02:16 | biouser | how can I play a .mid file with ubuntu? I would have thought that would be auto |
| 02:16 | th0r | adakos, you would write a script...check the web for tutorials on bash scripting |
| 02:16 | ilembitov | SebNaitsabes: They freeze testing some time before stable release. unstable doesn't get too much updated, too |
| 02:16 | adakos | thOr/th0r: will do. thanks |
| 02:16 | carandraug | Wizard2694, in windows? I believe there's an icon in the system tray. Left click there and choose to safely remove. If you don't do that, you'll have problems mounting it in Linux. You can however use the command that appears to force mount. I've done it before without losing any data but I won't take responsabilities if you do |
| 02:17 | th0r | adakos, there is also a Advanced Bash Scripting guide...check the linux documentation project |
| 02:17 | SebNaitsabes | ilembitov: well can alwasy get later versions of apps from the website? ok sure you may have to compile them your self, but so be it |
| 02:17 | mcw | how do you use wine I know how to install it but not what to do next |
| 02:17 | Wizard2694 | well i never had to remove it correctly with windows, so what you are saying it turn it on, then do a correct removal in windows and it should work? |
| 02:17 | Wizard2694 | ? |
| 02:18 | zelrikriando | mcw, you might wanna join #winehq |
| 02:18 | ilembitov | SebNaitsabes: Yeah, yeah. I know all of it. Actually, I was just hoping there is some workaorund for what I consider the biggest (and probably only) Ubuntu's flaw IMHO |
| 02:18 | mcw | what is that? |
| 02:18 | SebNaitsabes | mcw: then go to your applications menu and at the bottom it should have wine. and look through that |
| 02:18 | biouser | http://www.freehandmusic.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdID=270673 |
| 02:18 | biouser | try to liste to sample |
| 02:18 | battaglin | how do I set LANG to be en_US.utf-8 |
| 02:19 | titanhoss | <-- just wants to get wireless working on his HP.. so he's not tied to the end of a 15 meter cat 5 |
| 02:19 | Wizard2694 | is that correct cara? |
| 02:19 | carandraug | Wizard2694, yes. Next time you should do it (that's the correct way of removing it). Or you can try to force mount. Like I said, I've done it previously several times with no problems but... |
| 02:19 | linxeh | battaglin: export LANG=en_US.utf-8 |
| 02:19 | mcw | i have it installed I just don't know what do do next???? |
| 02:19 | zelrikriando | mcw, that's the wine support channel , just do /join #winehq |
| 02:19 | zz | I am sick of needing to shutdown everything when gnome locks up |
| 02:19 | Wizard2694 | how do i do a force mount? |
| 02:19 | mdg | rnhello |
| 02:19 | mcw | how do you change channels from this one? |
| 02:19 | battaglin | linxeh: in terminal? thnx |
| 02:19 | Wizard2694 | so i know how to do it? |

| 02:21 | uoaphys | hi guys, from ubuntu 8.04, do I need to add a sources ection to get 4.1? Or can I just do kubuntu-kde4-desktop and then go? |

| 02:21 | Dr_willis | TubbyCat12, gotta love contradictions in features. :) |
| 02:21 | biouser | vim not simple though |
| 02:21 | adakos | mcw: ditto. i thought this was my ssh prompt earlier. but to pretend this is on-topic, are you running gnome? |
| 02:22 | TubbyCat12 | xD |
| 02:22 | Flannel | uoaphys: Nope, just regular repos |
| 02:22 | Dr_willis | I find vim simple. :) you just have to learn it. |
| 02:22 | mcw | yes |
| 02:22 | mcw | ubuntu studio |

| 02:22 | biouser | what is going on with ubuntu-studio these days? |
| 02:22 | uoaphys | flannel: there are tons of articles online telling me to add a ppa repo to my sources file... is this a mistake? |
| 02:22 | mcw | installed from iso download |
| 02:22 | titanhoss | well, off to try the forums over chat scroll. |
| 02:22 | TubbyCat12 | thanks |
| 02:22 | Flannel | uoaphys: You shouldn't need PPA for KDE4. But I suppose there might be updatd versions. Ask in #kubuntu-kde4, they'll know for sure. |
| 02:23 | mcw | I just don't know how to change irc channels??? |
| 02:23 | jdavis | I accidently hit "windows key + e" and it zoomed in. How do I undo that? |
| 02:23 | jegan | i am using ubuntu7.04 ... i have Gaim instant messanger in that it shows all protocols like yahoo,IRC... etc but not google !!! i need to use google ... any help on hw to add google |
| 02:23 | Dr_willis | mcw, depends on the irc client. |
| 02:23 | carandraug | TubbyCat12, you have bluefish |
| 02:23 | mcw | I just don't know?? |
| 02:24 | biouser | Error: Cannot install 'icedtea-gcjwebplugin' |
| 02:24 | adakos | mcw: try /join #channelname |
| 02:24 | mcw | irc, edit,network,disscussion,go help,those are my options?? |
| 02:24 | jdavis | It zoomed in my entire screen and it keeps shifting around. How do I get it back to normal? |
| 02:25 | battaglin | mcw: xchat.org |
| 02:25 | Dr_willis | jdavis, try windows+e again? You could disable that feature in the ccsm control panel tool. |
| 02:25 | mcw | were do I type that? |
| 02:25 | Dr_willis | jdavis, theres some key combo +mouse wheel also. that zooms. |
| 02:25 | battaglin | mcw: in firefox??????? |
| 02:25 | mcw | and what is it? |
| 02:25 | Dr_willis | mcw, right wehree ya typed 'where do i type that' |
| 02:25 | mcw | ha ha ok |
| 02:25 | jdavis | Dr_willis: whew, it was the mouse wheel, and I undid it. Thanks! |
| 02:25 | mcw | in here? |
| 02:25 | Dr_willis | mcw, you may want to read a few irc beginner guides.. xchat has a help menu. :) |
| 02:26 | mdg | Xchat not Ex-chat |
| 02:26 | battaglin | mcw: the program you are using? are u blind? |
| 02:26 | mcw | were are those? |
| 02:26 | jegan | how to add a new protocol in Gaim |
| 02:26 | Dr_willis | Top right menu item in this Xchat i have is 'help' :) with help docs.. :) |
| 02:26 | adakos | ooh thats what i need!! anyone know where i can find a good network monitoring program that can tell me current bandwidth usage, total sent/received, used over 24 hrs, etc.. but the catch is it has to be web-based or terminal based since i run a headless server. |
| 02:26 | Dr_willis | http://xchat.org/docs/ |
| 02:26 | carandraug | jegan, don't you mean Pidgin? |
| 02:27 | mcw | I know I am talking to you now on ubuntu server but I don't know how to go anywhere else?? |
| 02:27 | Dr_willis | carandraug, hes using the old ubuntu befor pidgin - from what i read. |
| 02:27 | ^Someone^ | Someome please help : \ I've installed sqlite3 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy using .deb packages, but when I try to install SQLite ODBC Driver ( http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ ) it says sqlite could not be found |
| 02:27 | Dr_willis | mcw, add a new server, or select one from the xchat > network list menu.. or use the /server command |
| 02:27 | ozpowermo | Hi all, nautilus is not starting up automatically when I boot up ubuntu (hardy amd64)... does anybody know how I can reinstall nautilus and/or make it start automatically on boot up? |
| 02:27 | jegan | ya but i hav as gaim in my ubuntu |
| 02:27 | baba_b00ie | how do i configure ubuntu 8.04 to boot without the splash screen and not to go straight in to X11 |
| 02:27 | carandraug | Dr_willis, hmm, ok. But the interface should be similiar, I hope |
| 02:27 | mcw | 8.04.1 |
| 02:28 | mcw | witch one of those options? |
| 02:28 | DDR | mcw: type /join #channelNameHere |
| 02:28 | mcw | irc? |
| 02:28 | Dr_willis | carandraug, features may not be. I have neer used eitehr to do google chat.. so no idea if the old one can even do googlechat or not. |
| 02:28 | mcw | in this same box I am typing in? |
| 02:28 | Dr_willis | mcw, it may be worth wile to just explore the menu items a bit. depending on EXACTLY what you want to do. |
| 02:28 | carandraug | jegan, I use Pidgin but the interface should be similiar. Is there a menu named accounts with and add/edit option? Go there |
| 02:29 | Dr_willis | mcw, /server irc.newircserver.com will connect to a new/different irc server. There is a server 'settings/interface' area in the xchat settings. Note that this is in XCHAT, not 'xchat-gnome' the 2 differ in the layout a lot. |
| 02:29 | mcw | is it network, and then channels? |
| 02:29 | Fungusman | Hi guys I want a stripped down windows client |
| 02:29 | carandraug | jegan, also, ever thought of updating to pidgin? |
| 02:29 | Fungusman | xfce doesnt seem to be very stripped down |
| 02:29 | mcw | that seems to make sence |
| 02:30 | Fungusman | I was wondering what ubuntu room can suggest |
| 02:30 | Dr_willis | Fungusman, xfce is very minimal. yet full featured. |
| 02:30 | jegan | ya i went there and saw ... it displays all protocols except google !! |
| 02:30 | qr | Fungusman: try ion3, you don't get more stripped down then that |
| 02:30 | Fungusman | What is puppy linux using ? |
| 02:30 | Dr_willis | Fungusman, depends on exactly what you want. as far as a 'full desktop' xfce is about as light as they get. |
| 02:30 | Fungusman | how would I install ion3 ? |
| 02:30 | qr | jegan: googletalk uses jabber |
| 02:30 | Flannel | Fungusman: try fluxbox |
| 02:30 | Fungusman | Thanks for the help guise |
| 02:30 | Dr_willis | Fungusman, puppy uses jwm + rox file manager. |
| 02:30 | favro | Fungusman: I think fluxbox is good :) |
| 02:30 | mcw | I am in xchat gnome |
| 02:30 | qr | Fungusman: apt-get install ion3 |
| 02:30 | mcw | irc |
| 02:30 | Dr_willis | Fungusman, thats what im using now in Ubuntu. :) |
| 02:30 | Leefmc | Question: I am attempting to make/install a library but i get an error saying i do not have a high enough glib version, it requires 2.12.0 or greater. If i search for glib in the packagemanager however, it says i have libglib2.0-0 version 2.16.4 installed, any thoughts as to what could be wrong? |
| 02:30 | mcw | me too |
| 02:30 | Fungusman | I love puppy it rocks |
| 02:31 | Fungusman | ok Im gonna try ion3 |
| 02:31 | dumbdum | I used GParted to copy my Mint linux Install to a bigger HDD, now it wont boot! Any help appreciated. |
| 02:31 | Dr_willis | Fungusman, you may want to check out 'icewm' and set it up to use 'rox' also. |
| 02:31 | mcw | is that speedy (puppy) |
| 02:31 | karname | please help me : I have dell inspiron 6400 laptob , when i set turning the lcd off after minutes , my ubuntu is crash, mean all of key is disable , this problem is also when i turn computer to stand by |
| 02:31 | carandraug | Fungusman, ever tried Iwm? You can't go more stripped down than that |
| 02:31 | Dr_willis | Fungusman, some of these uber-light window managers are VERY 'odd' in ways. |
| 02:31 | Fungusman | ok |
| 02:31 | Fungusman | For some reason my new laptp can get sluggish with ubuntu |
| 02:32 | Fungusman | been daul booting xp and notice that xp is less slugish (but more on the fritz lol) |
| 02:32 | qr | Fungusman: you can also try wmii (which is my personal wm of choice) but it's a very /different/ sort of wm if you are used to XP. |
| 02:32 | Dr_willis | Fungusman, right now i normally run 'icewm' and 'rox -p=default' to get the rox pinboard. :) |
| 02:32 | mcw | I take it you like mushrooms fungusman!! |
| 02:32 | carandraug | Fungusman, if it's new, the reason is probably not an heavy window manager |
| 02:32 | mcw | either that or you live in a moldy house |
| 02:33 | Fungusman | lol |
| 02:33 | Fungusman | fungusman is a dnd monster : ) |
| 02:33 | mcw | oh ok |
| 02:33 | ozpowermo | Anybody know how to start nautilus at boot? Mine is not starting up when ubuntu boots... I have to manually start it! Anybody? Please? |
| 02:33 | Fungusman | lol talking dnd in the linux room ohhhh jeezz |
| 02:33 | jegan | i cold not connect to my google /// wen i enter my username and pass ... in jabber |
| 02:33 | Fungusman | lol |
| 02:33 | mcw | I don't play dnd |
| 02:33 | linxeh | Fungusman: ooh, twm ftw ;-) |
| 02:33 | Fungusman | gonna try wmii |
| 02:33 | Fungusman | lol |
| 02:33 | adakos | ooh thats what i need!! anyone know where i can find a good network monitoring program that can tell me current bandwidth usage, total sent/received, used over 24 hrs, etc.. but the catch is it has to be web-based or terminal based since i run a headless server. |
| 02:33 | SNuxoll | real men use windowmaker as their wm |
| 02:34 | Pulpie | SNuxoll: real men use bsd |
| 02:34 | Dr_willis | adakos, theres ntop ( i think) that logs more info then i EVER knew existed |
| 02:34 | linxeh | Pulpie: real men use unicos |
| 02:34 | Dr_willis | !info ntop |
| 02:34 | ubottu | ntop (source: ntop): display network usage in top-like format. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:3.2-10.1 (hardy), package size 2707 kB, installed size 11172 kB |
| 02:34 | qr | jegan: google (heh) for how to do it. How you connect to googletalk through gaim is not at all obvious, but there are many, many walkthroughs on line. |
| 02:34 | mcw | I've had some good trips on shrooms |
| 02:34 | Fungusman | Dr Willis, how would I install a manager like puppy ? |
| 02:34 | Dr_willis | adakos, it dosent really do it like 'top' does. it has a html/web interface |
| 02:34 | Fungusman | Im still new with ubuntu |
| 02:34 | SNuxoll | Pulpie: damn straight! |
| 02:34 | sivel_ | hello all. |
| 02:34 | mcw | me too |
| 02:34 | zelrikriando | Fungusman, need help? |
| 02:35 | Pulpie | linxeh: no UNICOS sucks |
| 02:35 | mcw | tried sabayon and it sucked |
| 02:35 | carandraug | !hi | sivel_ |
| 02:35 | ubottu | sivel_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! |
| 02:35 | Dr_willis | Fungusman, Puppy is using 'jwm' and the 'rox' file manager.. use the package manager, search for jwm and rox-filer (i think) and install those |
| 02:35 | sivel_ | ty |
| 02:35 | linxeh | Pulpie: but there isnt much choice for real men ;-) |
| 02:35 | Dr_willis | Fungusman, you will need to configure jwm to run rox at startup. (and tweak its menus) |
| 02:35 | dasunsrule32 | B-) |
| 02:35 | Fungusman | k |
| 02:35 | sivel_ | im about to pull my hair out over this network problem that just "happened" when everything was running smoothly for 3 months.... |
| 02:35 | Fungusman | brb |
| 02:35 | mcw | tried mandriva |
| 02:36 | mcw | tried open suse |
| 02:36 | Pulpie | linxeh: lol |
| 02:36 | adakos | Dr_willis ill try that |
| 02:36 | mcw | tried musix |
| 02:36 | Dr_willis | Fungusman, and yes.. ive spend many an hr reading the jwm docs. and learning how to tweak the .jwmrc config file and themes. :) |
| 02:36 | Slade | mcw: my apologies for mandriva and open suse |
| 02:36 | mcw | ha ha |
| 02:36 | mcw | no real support |
| 02:36 | adakos | Dr_willis do i need to install apache? |
| 02:36 | mcw | no updates |
| 02:36 | Slade | mcw: open suse = novell. novell = lousy support. |
| 02:36 | Pascal[Quebec] | Hi |
| 02:36 | Pici | mcw: Do you have a support question? |
| 02:37 | sivel_ | all of the sudden, my eth0 device does not exist, yet it seems to be getting a ip from my router, yet cant ping the router |
| 02:37 | Dr_willis | adakos, no idea. I just toyed with ntop for a while ages ago.. and resized it was 10000x more features then what i needed. :) |
| 02:37 | Pascal[Quebec] | Prob with amsn... version 0.97.2 . |
| 02:37 | kevin083 | hi... when i boot i see 22.352830] ata1.00: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable... is this referring to the cd-rom drive or the hard disk? |
| 02:37 | Pulpie | Pascal[Quebec]: centerim |
| 02:37 | mcw | i want to learn more so I can help as many people as I can get off of winblows! |
| 02:37 | kauer | Hi there. I need a kind of "virtual cable" I can sniff. I have an ssh tunnel from my computer to a server, but I need to see what's going over the tunnel. I want to set up a local "hop" on my computer that I can inspect with (say) wireshark. Ideas? |
| 02:37 | adakos | Dr_willis perfect! i like features |
| 02:37 | mcw | no |
| 02:37 | Pascal[Quebec] | unable to get a socket form localhost |
| 02:37 | mcw | I did |
| 02:38 | mcw | but I still don't understand wine????!!!! |
| 02:38 | Pulpie | Pascal[Quebec]: take it up in #amsn |
| 02:38 | mcw | is automatix the same thing? |
| 02:38 | Flannel | mcw: Don't use automatix. Do not. |
| 02:38 | dumbdum | I used GParted to copy my Mint linux Install to a bigger HDD, now it wont boot! Any help appreciated. |
| 02:38 | mcw | or is it discontinued |
| 02:38 | Flannel | !wine | mcw |
| 02:38 | ubottu | mcw: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. |
| 02:38 | sivel_ | any ideas as to where i can start? it was working flawlessly for months, no prob |
| 02:38 | Flannel | mcw: Automatix isn't supported, and it's not needed either. there's nothing that it will help you with. |
| 02:39 | Pici | dumbdum: You'd need to contact Mint for support then, we do not support that here. |
| 02:39 | Flannel | mcw: (isn't supported means we don't support it, and neither do the people who wrote it) |
| 02:39 | Pici | !mintsupport | dumbdum |
| 02:39 | ubottu | dumbdum: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org |
| 02:39 | ozpowermo | Does anybody know how to re-install nautilus on ubuntu hardy amd 64? |

| 02:39 | os2mac | Is there a way to create a short cut key sequence for a particular application? |
| 02:39 | Flannel | mcw: Explain what? |
| 02:39 | sysdoc | When you run ps aux VSZ and RSS are displayed, is the RSS value included in the VSZ value? |
| 02:39 | mcw | we need to do this more to get people off of windows |

| 02:40 | scribawf | Any workaround for a "BRICK" all-in-1 Lexmark X3430 to work with Linux/Ubuntu? |

| 02:40 | mcw | that's why some people are turned off |
| 02:40 | sk33t0r | anyone here use an ati x300 and run any games under ubuntu 8.04? |
| 02:40 | mcw | I was before |
| 02:40 | Flannel | mcw: You should perhaps answer the questions you were asked. |
| 02:41 | sk33t0r | my screen is always flickering when I play games |
| 02:41 | mcw | that would be cool!! |
| 02:41 | sk33t0r | I just tried playing bf1942 with wine and the screen flickers.. but it also happens when I run a simple game like tucracer |
| 02:41 | sk33t0r | any ideas? |
| 02:41 | mcw | wich ones so many questions |
| 02:41 | Flannel | mcw: Explain how what work? |
| 02:41 | mcw | wine |
| 02:41 | testuser_ | test |
| 02:41 | Flannel | mcw: Sure, that's not in the scope of this channel, but come to #ubuntu-offtopic and I'll explain |

| 02:42 | frostbyt3 | how can i install or run a file from the erminal |
| 02:42 | mcw | I can intstall it but what do I do with it next? |
| 02:42 | frostbyt3 | terminal* |
| 02:42 | adakos | pastebinit? is that the program that lets you send directly to the snippet site? |
| 02:42 | Flannel | mcw: Read that page, it explains everything you need to do to use it. Better than I ever could. |
| 02:42 | sk33t0r | anyone else ever have a similar issue? |
| 02:42 | frostbyt3 | is tar the run command? |
| 02:43 | Flannel | mcw: If you have further questions, feel free to ask them here. |
| 02:43 | mcw | how do I get to that and why are people so strict,on the ubuntu website it says you can learn from people here? |
| 02:43 | mcw | thank you flannel |
| 02:43 | mcw | flannel pj's rock!! |
| 02:43 | mcw | there comfortable |
| 02:43 | Flannel | mcw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine is the web site. We're strict with staying on topic because there's lots of people who want support, and we can't have 100 conversations in the meantime. |
| 02:44 | mcw | and so are the sheets |
| 02:44 | ParanoidAndroid | That has plenty to do with Ubuntu. |
| 02:44 | sivel_ | can anyone lend a helping hand to my network problem? |
| 02:44 | ParanoidAndroid | ;) |
| 02:44 | mcw | are you guys the bosses? |
| 02:44 | ParanoidAndroid | Negative. |
| 02:45 | mcw | how many of you are Canadians that I am talking to?? |
| 02:45 | mamo | I have 2 hard drives...... on one of them i installed ubuntu, and then on the second hard drive i installed win2k and after the windows installation finished, i no longer see ubuntu and windows starts right through. I went system control on windows and show 30 second for multipile os was already checked. so how can i make my pc show me a list of os so i can chose which on i want to start???? |
| 02:45 | mcw | I want to promote ubunu up here |
| 02:46 | Dr_willis | mamo, you bneed to decide if you want ubuntu/grub to handle the multi os's or let windows handle it. (i suggest grub) |
| 02:46 | mcw | we are open minded here |
| 02:46 | Dr_willis | !fixgrub | mamo |
| 02:46 | ubottu | mamo: 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 |
| 02:46 | zelrikriando | mcw, I live in Canada now |
| 02:46 | carandraug | mcw, that's the kind of stuff you should take to #ubuntu-offtopic. This is only for support |
| 02:46 | guptaxpn | one more quick question |
| 02:46 | mcw | I am in Yarmouth |
| 02:46 | mcw | N.S |
| 02:46 | guptaxpn | what's the best way to batch upload about 15 photos or more to a site? |
| 02:46 | smee | hiya peoples, does pidgin transfer files via jabber yet? |
| 02:47 | SNuxoll | smee: yes, it has for a long time iirc |
| 02:47 | Dr_willis | guptaxpn, would depend on what the site supports. |
| 02:47 | mcw | were do I type ubuntu off topic to get there it sounds fun |
| 02:47 | smee | ok here is the error: (11:15:54) You canceled the transfer of movwas.txt |
| 02:47 | guptaxpn | i have full ftp access |
| 02:47 | smee | i did not cancel it, |

| 02:54 | Dr_willis | mcw, be sure you are not mistaking 'xchat-gnome' with 'xchat' also :) the 2 are different. |

| 02:54 | carandraug | Slade, he's using X-chat with the gnome interface. The buttons are in different places so I've heard and if he can't find a button, I was trying to avoid telling him to use the /join command |

| 03:02 | adakos | charles_ thanks! |
| 03:02 | tensei | kevin083: I was reading a how to on installing it on 8.04 and it has a section about picking a hard disk. So I wasn't sure if it was asking for a partition to boot the virtual OS from |

| 03:09 | morodock | bmarley13: vmware |

| 03:10 | kevin083 | tensei: you're supposed to install your programs into wine, just like you would install them on windows. this is so they can add themselves to wine's registry and create shortcuts among other things |

| 03:10 | tensei | kevin083: I didn't know you could install programs through wine, whats the big difference between wine and virtualbox? |
| 03:11 | Flannel | tensei: virtualbox is actual virtualization (emulation, etc). Wine isn't |
| 03:11 | os2mac | how does one add a universal keybinding for a particular application? |
| 03:11 | kevin083 | tensei: wine will give you hardware graphics acceleration and be faster, but it is not windows and not all apps will work |
| 03:11 | carandraug | tensei, with wine you don't need to install windows. It's kind of an emulator but not one. It's better to use wine if you can |
| 03:12 | carandraug | tensei, but with wine not all programs work well |
| 03:12 | tensei | thanks for all the feedback!.. Is finding out if a program works with wine trial and error, or is their a way.. also.. how would you install a program through wine, would it put it on your windows partition or the linux one? |

| 03:19 | billy____ | is there any way to get an iso from a live cd? |
| 03:19 | Flannel | Leefmc: That's expected. It'll try and remove a lot of other packages as well (because they depend on glibc), you'll want to force the old version |
| 03:19 | billy____ | or do i have to dl ubuntu again? |
| 03:19 | Leefmc | Flannel: Yea but how? |
| 03:19 | kitche | Leefmc: ubuntu-desktop can be removed |
| 03:19 | kitche | Flannel: by chance how did you get glibc from glib? |
| 03:19 | billy____ | anyone? is there any way to get an .iso from an ubuntu livedisk? |
| 03:19 | Flannel | kitche: I assumed thats what he was talking about. |

| 03:21 | kitche | Leefmc: since gnome is your desktop ubuntu-desktop just installs all the programs and such kinda like a giant pull mechinism |
| 03:21 | Leefmc | Flannel: The weird thing is, its glib that is "bad", but the broken fix is not mentioning glib at all |

But I know the library was installed succsesffuly because I was able to compile my code which depended on it. |

| 03:35 | Flannel | Pokshun: Not all of the software is in the repositories, obviously not everything can be packaged. You can recommend programs for packaging if you think they ought to be in the repos (or do it yourself, see #ubuntu-motu), whereis should find it, if you put it in a normal place. |
| 03:35 | Mecha25 | leefmc: that's weird |
| 03:35 | Leefmc | Mecha25: Heh |

| 03:49 | wizardslovak | hello guys |
| 03:49 | Gnea | WDC: okay, the df -Th command will tell you what IS mounted on your system - so, for the one line that is mounted (such as: /dev/sda6 ext3 36G 34G 438M 99% /home ) |
| 03:49 | shane2peru | hey even mr ubottu shows it as fixed, but it isn't, does that mean I need to file a new bug? |

| 03:50 | WDC | Gnea: the sda1 that IS there is 150GB |

| 04:14 | num1 | admiral_copeland: if you don't mind running windows VirtualBox works perfectly for meas long as you don't want to run anything that requires 3D acceleration |
| 04:14 | Gnea | admiral_copeland: what? |
| 04:14 | num1 | admiral_copeland: 3d *hardware* acceleration |
| 04:15 | admiral_copeland | so i can use 3d acceleration as long as its software |
| 04:15 | adakos | anyone have a good primer on how to run virtual hosts on one computer and run multiple hostnames (www.test.com, www.lol.org, www.i-heart-ubuntu.net) |
| 04:15 | mamo | SeaPhor, no this makes me wonder...... i could have some stuff on a hard drive and permission was denied for someone, and that person can use a live cd and get into the hard right? or i'm thinking wrong... that is just a wonder |

| 04:16 | num1 | admiral_copeland: if you're using VirtualBox then yes, you can use software 3D acceleration (I'm not sure how much of a speed penalty there is but it's probably not much) |
| 04:16 | admiral_copeland | mamo: yes they could use a live disk |
| 04:17 | SeaPhor | mamo, well, yes,,, but did you have to put in a password? |
| 04:17 | pazsion | lolz i got 2 problems |

| 04:18 | pazsion | arent i sopose to get a gui? |
| 04:18 | SeaPhor | mamo, and IndyGunFreak would be better one to ask on that,,, good question |
| 04:18 | Gnea | pazsion: aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg |

| 04:33 | num1 | hitman1985: the command is "wine" |
| 04:33 | num1 | hitman1985: but you have to give it an argument, namely the program to run |
| 04:34 | hitman1985 | num1, command is "wine" and then ? |

| 04:50 | num1 | hitman1985: you only removed the program, all the files like the programs you installed were still in .wine ;) |
| 04:50 | hitman1985 | num1, i guess so :) |
| 04:50 | Flannel | modem_: It's not important. Those are the channel guidelines, regardless of who's asking you to follow them. |
| 04:50 | num1 | hitman1985: so right click wine, choose install, hit double apply :P and type in your password |
| 04:50 | weternal | wols how do I get that set up? |
| 04:50 | modem_ | lol |
| 04:50 | hitman1985 | num1, is this the same way i want to erase google earth ? |
| 04:50 | wols | weternal: it's automatic |
| 04:51 | weternal | hmm |
| 04:51 | modem_ | yep you guys are the reason the antisec movement is great |
| 04:51 | Wizard2694 | i cant believe i can run f/s video on a standard agpvideo card with no stutter on ubuntu |
| 04:51 | ValentineX | @modem why u are not working at my linux |
| 04:51 | num1 | hitman1985: What do you mean? |
| 04:51 | weternal | wols is that card able to run compiz? |
| 04:51 | tritium | modem_: just stay on topic, please |
| 04:51 | wols | yes |
| 04:51 | hitman1985 | num1, i got google earth and need to get rid of it :) |
| 04:51 | weternal | that's odd |
| 04:51 | hitman1985 | num1, cant do it with sudo apt-get remove |
| 04:51 | wols | hitman1985: didn't I tell you already? |
| 04:51 | Lunis | if i have a handful of debs in a folder, how could I check each one to see if it's fully installed and if it is, rm it? |
| 04:51 | weternal | ubuntu is saying I can't use it |
| 04:51 | modem_ | lol |
| 04:52 | ValentineX | @gnea hello sir modem help |
| 04:52 | hitman1985 | num1, thats done with the install |
| 04:52 | weternal | compiz is automatically installed on hardy right? |
| 04:52 | wols | Lunis: dkpg -l <packaged neme> | grep ^ii |
| 04:52 | Flannel | weternal: yes |
| 04:52 | hitman1985 | num1, but still no shortcuts visible :( |
| 04:52 | alistair | Help: under Wine I have a program which has been uninstalled but still shows up in the Applications/Wine folder. Where can I access these redundant shortcuts to remove them please? |
| 04:52 | Lunis | wols: there's what I was looking for, thanks a million |
| 04:52 | Wizard2694 | i really need to know how to install things like in windows |
| 04:52 | Wizard2694 | setup files arent the same |
| 04:52 | Wizard2694 | grrr |
| 04:53 | num1 | hitman1985: google earth was installed on your wine? |
| 04:53 | Flannel | !synaptic | Wizard2694 |
| 04:53 | ubottu | Wizard2694: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto |
| 04:53 | G3N0 | Is there any possible way to play youtube videos? D: |
| 04:53 | hitman1985 | num1, noooo linux version :) |
| 04:53 | tritium | hitman1985: google has packaged google earth for ubuntu. They have their own repository. |
| 04:53 | weternal | is it listed in the appearance preferences menu as extra effects? |
| 04:53 | Lunis | wols: that's almost what i need, but i need to check actual deb files |
| 04:53 | num1 | hitman1985: then I have no idea why it won't let you uninstall, unless you didn't install it from synaptic or from apt-get |
| 04:53 | ValentineX | hello i am a simple user i dont know much and dont know programming i got scan modem as Gnea told me. now i have results what should i do now to install modem? |
| 04:53 | num1 | hitman1985: really, no menu? |
| 04:54 | hitman1985 | num1, nope |
| 04:54 | hitman1985 | num1, want screenshot ? |
| 04:54 | Wizard2694 | im seeing alot more coming out for linux/ubuntu lately |
| 04:54 | Flannel | weternal: Its very limited at what you can configure out of the box. install compizconfig-settings-manager for something more like youre used to |
| 04:54 | pazsion | ok, after letting it boot, it disabled the xserver..becuase its not setup right |
| 04:54 | num1 | hitman1985: I'd try installing a program on wine and seeing if the menu "magically appeared" |
| 04:54 | hitman1985 | tritium, idea how to get rid of that stuff ? |
| 04:54 | tritium | hitman1985: what stuff? |
| 04:54 | hitman1985 | num1, how to do |
| 04:54 | weternal | thanks flannel |
| 04:54 | hitman1985 | tritium, google earth :) |
| 04:54 | modem_ | what are some sexy themes i can throw on this box? |
| 04:54 | num1 | tritium: he want's to remove the google earth package |
| 04:54 | pazsion | so in order for sudo aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg to work it needs to be enabled right? |
| 04:54 | hitman1985 | tritium, installed over bin file |
| 04:55 | Wizard2694 | damn ubuntu makes ya feel dumb when you are used to windows |
| 04:55 | Wizard2694 | lol |
| 04:55 | tritium | modem_: you've already been warned to keep it family-friendly |
| 04:55 | hitman1985 | num1, ima put dreamweaver in cdrom now :) |
| 04:55 | num1 | Wizard2694: the feeling passes after a month of two |
| 04:55 | tritium | hitman1985: you didn't install the google package (.deb.)? |
| 04:55 | num1 | hitman1985: lol, no no screenshot is necessary |
| 04:55 | Lunis | tritium: i have to ask, does "sexy themes" constitute not family friendly? |
| 04:55 | G3N0 | so there's absolutely no way to possible watch youtube videos in firefox on ubuntu? |
| 04:55 | peepsalot | i burned a dvd, which has multiple chapters, but when i try to load it in movie player(totem), it only plays the first chapter. Is there a way to make it see the whole playlist? |
| 04:55 | ganjaman | high |
| 04:55 | Wizard2694 | yea the only issues im having is learning how to install |
| 04:55 | hitman1985 | tritium, no a bin file came from them |
| 04:55 | ganjaman | whats a good bunutu version for 500mhz Pentium 3? |
| 04:56 | weternal | G3N0 all you have to do is install flash |
| 04:56 | peepsalot | ganjaman, xubuntu, or fluxbuntu |
| 04:56 | modem_ | tritium, what wasnt fam friendly about that? |
| 04:56 | pazsion | ubuntu? |
| 04:56 | ganjaman | fluxbuntu? |
| 04:56 | G3N0 | weternal: i already installed that gnash thing and it doesnt work |

| 04:56 | G3N0 | weternal: oh.. how do i uninstall it? |
| 04:57 | weternal | it's not as good as the actual flash player |
| 04:57 | Wizard2694 | i run it on a amd xp 2000 with 384 |
| 04:57 | pazsion | wth is fluxbuntu? |
| 04:57 | weternal | sudo apt-get purge gnash |
| 04:57 | num1 | hitman1985: sorry, I'm going to go now, I hope someone else can help you out! |
| 04:57 | Lunis | modem_: though the key is hard to find, and I don't remember how I got it. I'll DCC it to you if you want it |

| 04:59 | weternal | well if you uninstall gnash the shockwave flash should work |
| 04:59 | weternal | I had the same problem when I set up ubuntu a week ago |
| 04:59 | G3N0 | weternal: ill restart firefox maybe it will work |

| 04:59 | shadowblade | Hello, I'm trying to install gvfs from source, and ./configure told me "Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.17.6' but version of GLib Uninstalled is 2.16.0", so I installed glib 2.17.7 from source, but synaptic still says the installed version is 2.16.4, so the configure for gvfs is still seeing it as out of date. Help? |
| 05:00 | hitman1985 | http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html |
| 05:00 | Kurcz_ | can someone help me set up my sound? I tried the guides but I'm not having any luck |
| 05:00 | hitman1985 | tritium, http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html |
| 05:00 | crdlb | shadowblade: why would you do that? |
| 05:00 | hitman1985 | tritium, thats what i downloaded :) |
| 05:00 | tritium | hitman1985: use the google repositories for which I gave you a URL. |
| 05:00 | Lunis | modem_: deb http://www.nanolx.org/apt excelsior main |
| 05:00 | ganjaman | what filesystem would you run on a 4tb partition? |
| 05:00 | hitman1985 | tritium, i want to get rid of it not install it :) |
| 05:00 | Lunis | modem_: to save you the poking around |
| 05:00 | ganjaman | i think ext3 is to bananistic |
| 05:00 | shadowblade | crdlb: I'm getting errors from nautilus like "Cannot open computer: locations" and one tip from the support forums was to install the latest version of gvfs from the offical sources. |
| 05:00 | G3N0 | weternal: thanks man it works now :D |
| 05:01 | cafree | Can someone walk me through how to configure sound support in VirtualBox? I don't see any settings for it |
| 05:01 | Guest1091 | @Paz - I believe you can use "sudo gedit /ect/X11/xorg.conf" |
| 05:01 | Bhavesh | can i still download/install ubuntu server 8.04 ? |
| 05:01 | hitman1985 | tritium, that gives you a googleearthlinux.bin file |
| 05:01 | tritium | hitman1985: yes, I know |
| 05:01 | hitman1985 | tritium, do you know how to get my wine shortcuts back in the applications ? |
| 05:01 | ganjaman | you need to drink beere |
| 05:02 | modem_ | Lunis, thanks a bunch :) |
| 05:02 | hitman1985 | tritium, cuz i installed dw8 now and still no luck :( |
| 05:02 | tritium | hitman1985: I don't use wine, sorry |
| 05:02 | crdlb | shadowblade: it would be much more practical to upgrade to intrepid once it hits beta |
| 05:02 | SeaPhor | pazsion, what are you wanting to do in the xorg.conf? |
| 05:02 | Lunis | modem_: enjoy :) |
| 05:02 | velvithammer | beer |
| 05:02 | pazsion | ooo ok i need to be connected =) |
| 05:02 | hitman1985 | tritium, why why why did i stuupido erase it in the first place :( <- mad at myself now |
| 05:02 | crdlb | shadowblade: but you may need to specify PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig when running ./configure |
| 05:02 | shadowblade | crdlb: I kind of needed to get to a usb flash drive in the next hour. |
| 05:02 | [z]neo | hey guys, is this installation setup for freenx works on hardy heron? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX |

| 05:03 | skpl | can someone help me with adding a new program to my applications menu? |
| 05:04 | shadowblade | crdlb: It doesn't automount and I don't know the /dev file for it - also I gather from the forums that the problem breaking nautilus may also render flash drives unmountable |

| 05:05 | bozy | hello every one |
| 05:05 | skpl | ari_stress: im sorry but i do not have that there |
| 05:05 | ari_stress | skpl: maybe u dont have thunderbird installed? |
| 05:06 | cycom | skpl: Applications -> Internet -> Thunderbird isn't there? |
| 05:06 | skpl | ari_stress: according to synaptic i do |
| 05:06 | skpl | cycom: no, only evolution mail client |
| 05:06 | pazsion | SEAphor i just re-installed xserver-xorg i'm rebooting to see if this fujitsu lifebook b2620 will run ubuntu |
| 05:06 | ari_stress | skpl: how about typing 'thunderbird' in a terminal, just to make sure |
| 05:06 | skpl | ari_stress: command not found |
| 05:07 | cycom | skpl: then you don't have it installed. |
| 05:07 | SeaPhor | pazsion, there are some graphical fixes if not working the first time |
| 05:07 | cycom | skpl: try to have synaptic re-install it. |

| 05:07 | bozy | I installed apache2 ,but the file httpd.conf is empty.What can I do? |
| 05:08 | skpl | ari_stress: thank you as well |
| 05:08 | Flannel | bozy: debian based distros don't use httpd.conf, they use a number of other files depending on what you're modifying. What are you trying to change? |

| 05:09 | Flannel | bozy: apache2.conf is for serverwide configs, stuff in mods-enabled/ is for module configs and stuff in sites-enabled/ is for specific virtual hosts. |

| 05:09 | Leefmc | Question: Whats a good DVD Player? MPlayer seems to stink horribly at it, same for MoviePlayer |
| 05:09 | IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: vlc |
| 05:09 | Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: K thanks |
| 05:09 | Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: Wonder why MPlayer sucks at it, it rocks everything else imo |
| 05:10 | IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: eh, i'm the wrong person to ask that, i hate mplayer |
| 05:10 | Leefmc | ah |
| 05:10 | TJ-Linux | alright, I need some help. I wanted to change the way the file browser would mount a drive so I edited the fstab file, now when I try to mount the drive in the file browser I am told "unable to mount" and that I need to mount the volume as root. While before it would ask me for my root password, now it does not... if before I needed permission and it would ask me, what do I need to set in fstab so that it will ask me now? |
| 05:10 | tritium | Leefmc: xine is another option |
| 05:10 | pazsion | o dude, i'm usint 7.04....wth? |
| 05:10 | pazsion | i thought it upgraded... |
| 05:10 | G3N0 | If i just installed a program through sudo apt-get and its nto showing up in the applications drop down menu how do i run it? |
| 05:10 | Leefmc | tritium: Which is better? I've personally never liked vlc |
| 05:10 | IndyGunFreak | xine isn't bad.. but it is a bit glitchy for me |
| 05:11 | IndyGunFreak | !best | Leefmc |
| 05:11 | ubottu | Leefmc: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. |
| 05:11 | tritium | Leefmc: depends on your preference. |
| 05:11 | G3N0 | how do i run a program through terminal without navigation to it? |
| 05:11 | cycom | Leefmc: try totem-xine :) |
| 05:11 | Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: Yes yes, but just assume when people ask you which is "best", that they want your opinion. :p, after all, thats all you can give anyway. Nothing is "best". |
| 05:11 | tritium | G3N0: if it's not already in your path, specify the full path |
| 05:11 | cycom | Leefmc: lets you use all your pretty multimedia buttons on a laptop, but works with DVDs |
| 05:12 | G3N0 | tritium: i don't know the path thats the thing, how do i search it? |
| 05:12 | IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: but some people think there's actually 'best' application for something, when there's not |
| 05:12 | tritium | G3N0: which, whereis, find, etc. |
| 05:12 | Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: Blech, imo there is :). Sure its still opinion, but generally as long as the opinion is educated, it is probably right. |
| 05:12 | G3N0 | tritium: omg that was easy thankyou |
| 05:12 | cycom | Leefmc: you might have to remove totem-gstreamer to get it to use totem-xine though. not sure how to select totem-xine as the default. |
| 05:13 | bozy | think you, Flannel |
| 05:13 | cycom | Leefmc: but totem-xine is what I use until totem-gstreamer supports DVD menus. |
| 05:13 | IndyGunFreak | later all |
| 05:13 | tritium | G3N0: got it working? |
| 05:13 | G3N0 | tritium: trying now ;) |
| 05:14 | anachronoks | anyone figured out a way to watch the olympics? |
| 05:14 | pazsion | ugh, xorg is still loading the last config after reinstalling xserver-xorg...i need it to detect it or let me select other drivers/modules |
| 05:14 | G3N0 | tritium: wierd.... it says launching kismet server. suid priv-dropping disabled. this may not be secuire. done. |
| 05:14 | cycom | LadySerena: also, BSD might call it a Daemon, but I don't answer to them :) |
| 05:14 | tritium | anachronoks: I think your question lacks detail. I'm watching them right now. |
| 05:14 | pazsion | watching the olyimpics...turn on the tv? |
| 05:15 | anachronoks | considering this is a ubuntu chat and not a TV chat, i thought the context was already clear ;) |
| 05:15 | cycom | pazsion: there's a command to reconfigure Xorg automagically, but I can't remember it... make a backup of your old xorg.conf just in case though |
| 05:15 | tritium | anachronoks: you might let us know, then, if you have a TV tuner card, or what you're asking |
| 05:15 | hbalint | hi. I have a problem. don't know, how to get my ati radeon X300 videocard work fine on ubuntu8.04? I wanted to play Age of mithology, in wine. but, the screen is flicking. it do it also if I want to play Supertux. what should I do? |
| 05:16 | LadySerena | Xorg -configure |
| 05:16 | pazsion | the old xorg is not needed |
| 05:16 | LadySerena | you'd know that if you read your manuals :) |
| 05:16 | utnubu_user | I need to know if ubuntu stores data about the users and their activities like windows does. If so, how can I delete such files? |
| 05:16 | tritium | cycom, LadySerena: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg |
| 05:16 | Flannel | utnubu_user: which activities? |
| 05:16 | anachronoks | okay, let me try again. does anyone know how to watch the olympics, online, without a tv tuner card or a TV |
| 05:16 | LadySerena | tritium, that seems needlessly complicated |
| 05:16 | tritium | LadySerena: it's not |
| 05:16 | anachronoks | on Ubuntu!! |
| 05:16 | anachronoks | ;) |
| 05:16 | Leefmc | Bah. vlc isn't working heh |
| 05:17 | LadySerena | Xorg -configure <-- what could be easier? |
| 05:17 | hbalint | Xorg -configure |
| 05:17 | cycom | tritium: pazsion I think he needs dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg |
| === Bruno_F_ is now known as Bruno_F |
| 05:17 | tritium | cycom: not generally |
| 05:18 | tritium | LadySerena: xserver-xorg is under package management. It is best to use dpkg-reconfigure in such cases. |
| 05:18 | LadySerena | actually, /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't even exist on my laptop :D |
| 05:18 | pazsion | abc i think is the boradcast network |
| 05:18 | cycom | LadySerena: Oh? How come? |
| 05:19 | LadySerena | never made it |
| 05:19 | anachronoks | well i guess i just have to install windows like with 90% of the other stuff i want to do |
| 05:19 | Reformer81 | I use Ubuntu at home for my family desktop. Is there any way to cause a user to automatically be logged off after a certain time of inactivity? |

| 05:19 | skpl | can someone explain to me how to change my login password in ubuntu? |
| 05:19 | Leefmc | cycom: How do you view a dvd with totem-xine? I downloaded it, but it has no icon, and all i see is the standard totem |
| 05:19 | cycom | LadySerena: as in you never use X or as in it autoconfigures itself? |
| 05:19 | Reformer81 | anachronoks: Sadly, that is sometimes the only solution. |
| 05:19 | cycom | Leefmc: uninstall totem-gstreamer |
| 05:19 | cycom | then run totem |

| 05:19 | cycom | it's the standard totem interface, just with a different backend |
| 05:19 | LadySerena | I use X ... sometimes. I just let it autodetect everything. :3 |
| 05:20 | Flannel | utnubu_user: internet sites visited would be stored in the webbrowser, you can clear them out through firefox. I'm not sure about what sort of "other personal data", but which applications are used isn't stored, no. |
| 05:20 | anachronoks | okay.. thanks anyway |
| === skpl is now known as lint |
| 05:20 | Reformer81 | Leefmc: If you install totem-xine, it's basically just a pack of codecs. The DVD should open in regular Totem now. |
| 05:20 | weternal | hey I'm trying to get compiz to do all of the cool stuff I've seen it do in videos |
| 05:20 | Leefmc | Reformer81: It didnt |
| 05:20 | cycom | LadySerena: I tend to have special things like ATI or NVidia drivers or wacom tablets or other crap :) |
| 05:20 | Leefmc | Reformer81: Now it does |
| 05:20 | Leefmc | Reformer81: Now that gstreamer is gone |
| 05:20 | cycom | Leefmc: besides, I like my wobbly windows. |
| 05:20 | anachronoks | weternal i believe you need to install the advanced desktop effect settings |
| 05:20 | pazsion | ok if i update this somehow from 7.04 to 8.04 will i beable to reconfigure xorg as well? |
| 05:20 | cycom | Leefmc: and you'll get all your fancy menus too! :) |
| 05:21 | tritium | utnubu_user: some programs store user data in dot-files or directories. (e.g., pidgin stores account info in ~/.purple) |
| 05:21 | sk33t0r | anyone ever have to restart their pc for ubuntu to recognize a new usb device? |
| 05:21 | weternal | I just installed the advanced desktop effects settings |
| 05:21 | cycom | pazsion: is this a dell laptop that came with 7.04 preinstalled? |
| 05:21 | Leefmc | cycom: Hmm, it said it cant play it without libdvdcss, but there isn't a libdvdcss in the repo.. |
| 05:21 | FuRom | How do I upgrade intltool to intltool 0.40.0 or higher? |
| 05:21 | LadySerena | I have my touchpad and a USB mouse that I sometimes connect, both are handled by moused |
| 05:21 | weternal | I'm not sure how to configure it thought |
| 05:21 | Leefmc | cycom: I have libdvdread3 installed, but thats obviously not working heh |
| 05:21 | LadySerena | Xorg doesn't know which is which, since it just reads /dev/sysmouse |
| 05:21 | cycom | Leefmc: you have to enable universe and multiverse I think. |
| 05:22 | Reformer81 | Leefmc: libdvdcss is illegal to distribute. Search google for it and you'll find instructions on how to install it. |
| 05:22 | xxploit | Leefmc: add the medibuntu repo |
| 05:22 | cycom | Leefmc: also check out medibuntu, since it has w32codecs. |
| 05:22 | tritium | !medibuntu | Leefmc |
| 05:22 | ubottu | Leefmc: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org |
| 05:22 | pazsion | lolz dell does that? damn dell....no it is fujitusu |
| 05:22 | anachronoks | weternal you go through the list of effects and turn the ones on you want to use. click the icon to configure them |
| 05:22 | pazsion | and i've installed it myself |
| 05:22 | cycom | pazsion: sells laptops with ubuntu preinstalled? yeah. |
| 05:22 | weternal | I've been playing with it for a bit but it's not doing the wobbly windows or the cool minimize effects or the cube desktop |
| 05:23 | Reformer81 | weternal: install compizconfig-settings-manager |
| 05:23 | pazsion | cycom your right i do...i didn't know dell did, ubuntu is kinda new to me |
| 05:23 | utnubu_user | Flannel, I am asking this because the US is checking electronic equipment such as laptops, cellphones, digital cameras, etc at the airports or entry points. I do not want them looking at what I do on my pc, since sensitive data can be stolen... |
| 05:23 | Reformer81 | weternal: That will give you access to all the settings of Compiz. |
| 05:23 | anachronoks | wobbly windows is under effects, did you try enabling it? |
| 05:23 | Reformer81 | utnubu_user: The US does not turn it on to see what you've been doing. |
| 05:23 | cycom | pazsion: but yeah, I'd do dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg. that should get you back to close to the defaults. why did you change it in ther first place? |
| 05:23 | cycom | I'd get X working _before_ you upgrade to 8.04 |
| 05:24 | weternal | yeah I'm trying to get the compizconfig settings manager to do some of the basic effects and it's not |
| 05:24 | Reformer81 | weternal: Try setting everything to default. |
| 05:24 | pazsion | cycom so i could see what i was doing, and its always reconfiguered itself in the past |
| 05:24 | ganymede | is there a way to make SCIM input global and default? now, in gtk apps, i have to right click a text entry box and set the input method to SCIM, but i'd like the text input method to be SCIM always, on all applications |
| 05:24 | Reformer81 | I use Ubuntu at home for my family desktop. Is there any way to cause a user to automatically be logged off after a certain time of inactivity? |
| 05:24 | cycom | weternal: did you go into appearence and enable desktop effects already? |
| 05:24 | utnubu_user | Reformer81, Well, as far as I know they do it now. I saw it a few mins. ago at the news. "To avoid terrorist activities" |
| 05:25 | LadySerena | http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/LadySerena/laptop/panther_logos.jpg |
| 05:25 | LadySerena | Panther, my little laptop <3 |
| 05:25 | cycom | weternal: as in System->Preferences->Appearence? |
| 05:25 | modem_ | utnubu_user, use LVM |
| 05:25 | Reformer81 | utnubu_user: Haha... wouldn't surprise me. Oh well... land of the free. |
| 05:25 | Reformer81 | ...or something like that |
| 05:25 | weternal | when I try to do that it tells me that I can't use desktop effects |
| 05:25 | bringatowel | utnubu_user, if you want you can delete your whole /home/username directory and recreate each time you start, but it would be a hassle. have you considered encrypting the entire hard drive? |
| 05:25 | cycom | weternal: well that's why you're not getting them :) |
| 05:25 | weternal | I was wondering if I was using the right video card driver |
| 05:25 | cycom | weternal: what graphics card do you have? |
| 05:25 | weternal | ati 9000 |
| 05:26 | cycom | weternal: do you have fglrx installed? |
| 05:26 | G3N0 | whats the command to find out my chipset? |
| 05:26 | weternal | someone told me that should work with the compiz effects |
| 05:26 | weternal | um not sure |
| 05:26 | weternal | is that a proprietary driver |
| 05:26 | weternal | probably not |
| 05:26 | Reformer81 | utnubu_user: You could also just password protect it. Besides, I doubt the security personnel have ever seen Linux. |
| 05:26 | weternal | I tried installing the xorg driver |
| 05:26 | weternal | but that didn't change the problem |
| 05:26 | tritium | !enter | weternal |
| 05:26 | ubottu | weternal: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! |
| 05:27 | weternal | oh sorry |
| 05:27 | cycom | weternal: go into system->administration->hardware drivers |
| 05:27 | G3N0 | how do i find out my chipset? |
| 05:27 | modem_ | utnubu_user, id use LVM (aes-256) to encrypt the entire drive (swap space included) |
| 05:27 | cycom | G3N0: try lspci in terminal. |
| 05:27 | G3N0 | ty |
| 05:27 | weternal | it says no proprietary drivers |
| 05:28 | Reformer81 | weternal: Well, the ATI 9000 is a really old card...... |
| 05:28 | sk33t0r | I've got this issue where I need to restart my pc when I plug in a knew usb device for ubuntu to recognize it.. any ideas how to get around this inconvenience ? |
| 05:28 | Reformer81 | Then again, I get great Compiz effects with just onboard video :) |
| 05:28 | modem_ | you can go all with that and keep /boot on a USB key so no one can boot without the key |
| 05:28 | grendal_prime | cycom: i have one of those |
| 05:28 | Reformer81 | modem_: That works? |
| 05:28 | pazsion | cycom conflicting actions??? sudo dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg |
| 05:28 | Reformer81 | modem_: Only if you can boot from USB, of course, right? |
| 05:29 | |2-bits| | hey. I'm wondering if there is a way to configure network manager to run a specified script upon connection to a particular access point? |
| 05:29 | weternal | hmm should it be offering to download a driver for the ati 9000? |
| 05:29 | cycom | pazsion: dpkg-reconfigure. no space |
| 05:29 | cycom | grendal_prime: one of what? |
| 05:29 | modem_ | Reformer81, yeah you need to be able to boot from it |
| 05:29 | pazsion | ah |
| 05:29 | Reformer81 | weternal: Uhm, if that's what you have, then I'm sure that's what it should be downloading :P |
| 05:29 | Leefmc | ugh i give up loi. Some things ubuntu really needs to work on.. i cant even play this damn dvd :o |
| 05:29 | omkar | friends help me a bit I am in System-Admin-Printing I have to connect to a Shared Printer which is connected to a Windows XP machine on the Network |
| 05:29 | grendal_prime | 1420 dell with preinstalled ubuntu |
| 05:29 | cycom | grendal_prime: oh! :) I have an E1505 running intrepid :) |
| 05:29 | weternal | it's not offering to download anything thought |
| 05:29 | tritium | Leefmc: did you read the medibuntu info I sent you? |
| 05:29 | grendal_prime | 4 gigs of ram...it flat out is the bomb |
| 05:30 | Leefmc | Works fine in a old as hell dvd player at work, but it can't play in modern day ubuntu, argh :o. |
| 05:30 | grendal_prime | everthing worked on the thing out of the box. |
| 05:30 | Leefmc | tritium: I added it already, and installed libdvdcss2 |
| 05:30 | cycom | weternal: try installing xserver-xorg-fglrx |
| 05:30 | tritium | Leefmc: so what's the problem? |
| 05:30 | weternal | do I have to add that to my repositories? |
| 05:30 | modem_ | i got a dell d830 ubuntu works pretty well on it except for the nvidia driver |
| 05:30 | cycom | grendal_prime: I upgrade to intrepid to get evdev and stuff working right again. Couldn't be happier. |
| 05:30 | G3N0 | cycom: hey do you know how to find out my like driver id... like lspci didnt really show me what i wanteed im looking for my driver like my network card drivers |
| 05:30 | pazsion | no spaces at all cycom or just at dpkg-reconfigure |
| 05:30 | Reformer81 | Leefmc: What is the DVD? |
| 05:30 | Leefmc | tritium: It doesn't play, as i mentioned ;), but i gatta go to bed. I've spent hours fighting linux tonight haha, cant take anymore |
| 05:30 | weternal | or is that from the ubuntu repositories |
| 05:30 | cycom | weternal: well, search for it first in there. |
| 05:30 | grendal_prime | what is intrepid? |
| 05:31 | zzl | when is Ubuntu Netbook Remix coming out?? |
| 05:31 | Reformer81 | Leefmc: Is it original or a copy? |
| 05:31 | cycom | pazsion: just in dpkg-reconfigure |
| 05:31 | G3N0 | grendal_prime: a car by dodge |
| 05:31 | Leefmc | Reformer81: Hot Fuzz, i wanted to finish it damnit :( |
| 05:31 | Leefmc | Reformer81: Original |
| 05:31 | tritium | Leefmc: I know what it doesn't do. What _does_ it do when you try? |
| 05:31 | Reformer81 | hmm |
| 05:31 | Flannel | zzl: Its out, just not in the official repos. There's a PPA for it |
| 05:31 | Flannel | !intrepid | grendal_prime |
| 05:31 | wizard_2 | what is normally in charge of checking and emailing users about quotas? |
| 05:31 | ubottu | grendal_prime: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! |
| 05:31 | pazsion | thnk y |
| 05:31 | zzl | flannel: where can I get it? |
| 05:31 | grendal_prime | ahh ok |
| 05:31 | Reformer81 | Leefmc: Personally, I've never been able to get Totem to play DVDs. I've always used VLC for it. |
| 05:31 | G3N0 | hey do you know how to find out my like driver id... like lspci didnt really show me what i wanteed im looking for my driver like my network card drivers |
| 05:31 | grendal_prime | im still running gutsy on this thing |
| 05:31 | Flannel | zzl: https://launchpad.net/netbook-remix |
| 05:31 | cycom | G3N0: you have to figure it out based on the output of lspci. it'll show you the name of the card and stuff. |
| 05:31 | G3N0 | okay ty |
| 05:32 | Leefmc | tritium: Heh sorry, just tired and being smart. My bad. totem-xine just stalls at the front of the dvd (some dvd legal message, etc) |
| 05:32 | tritium | G3N0: it hsould |
| 05:32 | grendal_prime | uses nvida drivers..and i simply cannot have this thing down for any amount of time right now. |
| 05:32 | cycom | G3N0: from there you have to do a little googling to find the right drivers, or search in synaptic |
| 05:32 | weternal | it's saying that it couldn't find package |
| 05:32 | pazsion | oh hell yes exactly what i need cycom thank you thank you THAN YOU |
| 05:32 | tritium | Leefmc: well, come back tomorrow and we can work through it |
| 05:32 | cycom | Leefmc: did you get medibuntu? |
| 05:32 | cycom | pazsion: np dude. |
| 05:32 | cycom | pazsion: been in that boat a few times myself :) |
| 05:32 | Leefmc | cycom: Yes |
| 05:32 | cycom | I have literally three different laptops running ubuntu. |
| 05:32 | zzl | flannel: you can use it on laptops too right? |
| 05:32 | cycom | Leefmc: did you install libdvdcss? |
| 05:32 | Reformer81 | Leefmc: And you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? |
| 05:32 | Leefmc | Reformer81: Heh, vlc hasn't done crap the whole time. It just opens up the dvd (it reads the title), then it just stops. No picture ever shown |
| 05:32 | Flannel | zzl: Yep, anywhere actually. |
| 05:33 | G3N0 | cycom: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61). where would I look for that? google? |
| 05:33 | pazsion | ok now what driver sets would be compatable with fujitsu laptops? |
| 05:33 | Leefmc | Reformer81: I got libdvdcss, and iirc i got ubuntu restricted ages ago, but offhand i cant remember |
| 05:33 | pazsion | video drivers... |
| 05:33 | modem_ | woohoo got my wifi led working |
| 05:33 | tritium | Leefmc: apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras, to tell for sure |
| 05:33 | Leefmc | Reformer81: Yes i do, after looking. |
| 05:33 | cycom | G3N0: it's an intel card? you sure it's not working already? |
| 05:33 | weternal | hmm so how should I go about getting a driver for the ati 900 |
| === marbe800 is now known as marbe800_ |
| 05:33 | cycom | G3N0: wireless drivers, yeah? |
| 05:33 | cycom | weternal: that's fglrx. |
| 05:33 | cycom | weternal: or radeonHD, though I'm not sure if that's in Hardy. |
| 05:33 | G3N0 | cycom: im gonna test it out, like im trying to use kismet and it says i need to fill in the config |
| 05:33 | cycom | weternal: search synaptic for fglrx |
| 05:33 | Leefmc | This DVD is apparently better than Ubuntu. :D |
| 05:34 | Leefmc | Anyway |
| 05:34 | Leefmc | night |
| === marbe800_ is now known as marbe800 |

| 05:34 | cycom | G3N0: that's a little beyond the scope of this channel :) |
| 05:34 | Leefmc | FloodBot3: You make ubuntu work on simple stuff, and i'll stop flooding! (Yes i know its a bot heh) |
| 05:34 | G3N0 | cycom: talk in private :) |
| 05:34 | Leefmc | lates |
| 05:35 | cycom | G3N0: well, better for everyone to learn, right? |
| 05:35 | AdrianStrays | How do I mount a flashcard? I stick it in but it doesn't appear anywhere? |
| 05:35 | majid | who can help me |
| 05:35 | shaozuozhen | weternal: hey,how is it going? |
| 05:35 | Reformer81 | Can someone explain why print shops claim to have never seen an ODT or ODS file? ;) |
| 05:35 | G3N0 | cycom: okay but yeah im stuck there: # source=sourcetype,interface,name[,initialchannel] |
| 05:35 | cycom | G3N0: you said it's a 4965? do you know what driver it uses? |
| === scott_ is now known as arrrghhh |
| 05:35 | Reformer81 | AdrianStrays: Be sure to look under the "Places" menu... it may not actually place an icon onyour desktop for it. |
| 05:35 | G3N0 | G3N0: nooooooo idea thats why i was looking in the first place |
| 05:36 | G3N0 | cycom: * |
| 05:36 | Flannel | Reformer81: Because most print shops don't deal with .doc files either. |
| 05:36 | majid | I have acer 4315 ubuntu but no modem |
| 05:36 | cycom | G3N0: try checking lsmod. |
| 05:36 | arrrghhh | hey my machine is locking up hardcore - but i don't get see anything in /var/log/messages? |
| 05:36 | weternal | what do I do after this download is complete |
| 05:36 | AdrianStrays | reformer81, its not there either |
| 05:36 | cycom | G3N0: for example, lsmod | grep 4965 |
| 05:36 | hiptobecubic | is there a way to start a terminal with certain window dimensions and 'always on top' ? |
| 05:36 | pazsion | vesa should work with any computer right??? for a video driver? |
| 05:36 | cycom | pazsion: yeah |
| 05:36 | Xcerca | flash in firefox is different with x64 right ? |
| 05:36 | PCP | Anyone here have an experience with svn |
| 05:36 | pazsion | atleast untill i find out what is actually in this thing |
| 05:36 | Xcerca | i'm trying to install it |
| 05:36 | Flannel | !anyone | PCP |
| 05:36 | Reformer81 | Flannel: Hmm.. they can open Microsoft formats just fine. |
| 05:36 | ubottu | PCP: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? |
| 05:37 | G3N0 | cycom: iwlwifi_mac80211 219108 1 iwl4965 |
| 05:37 | AdrianStrays | Reformer81: Do you have any idea whats wrong? |
| 05:37 | Reformer81 | I use Ubuntu at home for my family desktop. Is there any way to cause a user to automatically be logged off after a certain time of inactivity? |
| 05:37 | cycom | G3N0: bingo |
| 05:37 | G3N0 | cycom: OR? cfg80211 15112 1 iwlwifi_mac80211 |
| 05:37 | cycom | ok, now what interface is your wireless card? |
| 05:37 | cycom | no, iwl4965 is the driver. |
| 05:37 | Reformer81 | AdrianStrays: Take the drive out. Then reinsert it. Then type 'dmesg' in the terminal. The last lines SHOULD say something about the USB drive. |
| 05:38 | weternal | do I want do disable any other drivers I might have running my video card |
| 05:38 | G3N0 | cycom: okay i gotchya. i have no idea its built into mi laptopo |
| 05:38 | LadySerena | Intel Wireless should be iwi0 or iw0 |
| 05:38 | cycom | G3N0: try typing iwconfig |
| 05:38 | AdrianStrays | Reformer81: Its not a drive, the laptop has a built in slot for it. |
| 05:38 | fasttrack | hy all, i just found a small and easy hack that makes installing ies4linux more comfortable |
| 05:38 | sleepster | anyone know when that ubuntu server xen kernel issue will be fixed? |
| 05:38 | cycom | G3N0: the one that doesn't have 'no wireless extensions' is likely the interface. |
| 05:38 | G3N0 | cycom: there's 3 of them :o |
| 05:38 | Reformer81 | AdrianStrays: But it's actually still a drive (much like a CD-ROM drive or floppy drive... this happens to be a flash drive) :) |
| 05:38 | cycom | LadySerena: mine is wlan0, so you can't really be sure. |
| 05:38 | cycom | G3N0: what are they called? |
| 05:39 | Reformer81 | fasttrack: Blog it :) |
| 05:39 | zzl | is there linux that is compatible with microsoft programs without the use of wine?? |
| 05:39 | fasttrack | most users face problem that the installation gets corrupt most of the times. and many get tired restarting it. |
| 05:39 | G3N0 | cycom: wlan0 my bad theres only one |
| 05:39 | LadySerena | wireless on my laptop is zyd0 |
| 05:39 | AdrianStrays | Reformer81: I don't see it as a drive under Computer either. |
| 05:39 | cycom | G3N0: ok, so that's the second section. |
| 05:39 | Reformer81 | zzl: Short answer, no. Long answer, use OpenOffice.org. |
| 05:39 | fasttrack | its nothing great. just a one line bash script |
| 05:39 | cycom | G3N0: the third section is just what you want to call it in kismet |
| 05:39 | tritium | LadySerena: that doesn't sound like ubuntu. |
| 05:39 | zzl | reformer81:what? |
| 05:39 | zzl | is there linux that is compatible with microsoft programs without the use of wine?? |
| 05:39 | Reformer81 | AdrianStrays: What did dmesg say? The last couple lines after you inserted it. |
| 05:39 | G3N0 | cycom: whats the first? |
| 05:39 | zzl | such as exe files |
| 05:39 | Reformer81 | !repeat | zzl |
| 05:39 | ubottu | zzl: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience |
| 05:39 | Xcerca | what do i have to install to watch youtube videos ? flash right , is there anything special for x64 versions ? |
| 05:39 | cycom | G3N0: so figure... source = iwl4965, wlan0, Intel |
| 05:40 | cycom | G3N0: Intel is just a random name I picked. |
| 05:40 | favro | how come I can't profile the boot sequence in hardy like I could in gutsy/feisty/edgy/dapper? |
| 05:40 | G3N0 | cycom: and the iwl4965 is what again? (trying to learn) |
| 05:40 | fasttrack | i'll paste it here. but i assume most already may have made it for themselves.. |
| 05:40 | cycom | G3N0: keep in mind, this will cause your wireless connection to drop. |
| 05:40 | arrrghhh | i have a headless system that is locking up hardcore - won't respond to pings, and every service just stops. i hook a monitor up to it, and the montior never goes out of low-power mode. where can i check the problem? i don't see anything in /var/log/messages |
| 05:40 | Reformer81 | zzl: I'm trying to help you. There are absolutely ZERO Linux distibutions that will run an .EXE file without using wine. |
| 05:40 | weternal | ok so I downloaded the fglrs driver |
| 05:40 | fasttrack | zzl: try react os |
| 05:40 | cycom | G3N0: it's the driver for that card. the kernel module. |
| 05:40 | Reformer81 | zzl: What are you trying to do? |
| 05:40 | Flannel | arrrghhh: hook up a keyboard and REISUB? |
| 05:40 | G3N0 | cycom: im wired at the moment. okay i understand |
| 05:40 | cycom | G3N0: your card is an intel 4965, right? |
| 05:40 | zzl | run an exe file on linux |
| 05:40 | G3N0 | cycom: yeah |
| 05:40 | cycom | G3N0: so it uses a module (driver) named iwl4965. |
| 05:41 | AdrianStrays | Reformer81: Something about start kernel and boot options, it doesn't look related. Also, I noticed further up it said Firefox was "tainted" what does that mean? |
| 05:41 | weternal | how do I get the driver I installed to work |
| 05:41 | chuy_max | hey guys, how can I search for files that contain "STRING" using console? |
| 05:41 | G3N0 | cycom: i understand thanks for teaching me.. lets see what i else i dont get :) |
| 05:41 | weternal | or is it already working? |
| 05:41 | z_ | sudo gedit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf - can you say something smart about it? |
| 05:41 | cycom | G3N0: My laptop has an Intel 3945, so I use iwl3945. :) |
| 05:41 | arrrghhh | Flannel, well when i power it off and back on, it works great. no interference by me at all. |
| 05:41 | hbalint | so, can someone help me? |
| 05:41 | cycom | G3N0: no problem dude :) It's why I hang out here. |
| 05:41 | AdrianStrays | Refomer81:Shall I do a paste bin? |
| 05:41 | fasttrack | zzl : use vmware, xen..or those things to boot an windows inmage within linux... or have a look at reactos... make it run in virtualised env |
| 05:41 | shaozuozhen | weternal: restart the X window??? |
| 05:41 | weternal | what's the x window? |
| 05:42 | sleepster | anyone know when that ubuntu server xen kernel issue will be fixed? |
| 05:42 | Reformer81 | AdrianStrays: No idea. But yeah, pastebin the last few lines of the dmesg output. Remember, remove the flash disc and then run dmesg RIGHT AFTER plugging it back in. |
| 05:42 | LadySerena | sleepster, take a look at the mailing lists? |
| 05:42 | cycom | G3N0: at some point you should try to install gentoo (preferably in a virtual machine) to learn a bit more about the Linux Kernel and how modules work. I suggest it merely because it makes you do most things manually, and teaches you a lot of linux commands the hard (memorable) way. |
| 05:42 | AdrianStrays | !pastebin |

| 05:42 | seanliu | how to restart x window |
| 05:42 | fasttrack | can i paste the 3 line bash script here? will it be useful for anyone? or will i be flooding unneccessarily? |
| 05:42 | hbalint | I tried to use virtualbox. it uses the host audio, but it can't use the host video |
| 05:42 | Flannel | fasttrack: Just use pastebin |
| 05:43 | weternal | ok so I'm not sure how to proceed from here |
| 05:43 | fasttrack | k |
| 05:43 | zzl | fasttrack: can you install reactos? or just live cd like? |
| 05:43 | shaozuozhen | weternal: press "ctrl+alt+backspace" to restart X window |
| 05:43 | Reformer81 | hbalint: Yeah, virtualization can't yet use accelerated video cards. |

| 05:44 | weternal | ok so I restarted the x window |
| 05:44 | shaozuozhen | weternal :how is it going? |
| 05:45 | arrrghhh | Flannel, i just want to figure out why the system is locking up... |
| 05:45 | weternal | but the desktop appearance manager is still telling me that I can't enable the compiz effects |
| 05:45 | Reformer81 | AdrianStrays: Looks like you have several issues... way beyond my knowledge. Sorry. |
| 05:45 | Flannel | arrrghhh: The monitor never comes out of power saving mode even while booting? |
| 05:45 | hbalint | or should I reconfigure x? or what should I try? |
| 05:45 | Theaxiom | Can ubuntu see vista NTFS partitions and be able to read/write to them? |
| 05:45 | favro | how do I profile the boot sequence in hardy? |
| 05:45 | tritium | Theaxiom: yes. |
| 05:45 | Flannel | favro: bootchart |
| 05:45 | Theaxiom | tritium, thanks |
| 05:45 | Xcerca | how can i find out which ubuntu i have ... hardy/dapper...... ? |
| 05:45 | arrrghhh | Flannel, it's fine once i reboot it. but i want to track down the source of the lockup. it's happened 2x now. |
| 05:46 | shaozuozhen | weternal: sorry I have no idea... |
| 05:46 | tritium | Xcerca: lsb_release -a |
| 05:46 | weternal | is this just a case of I should get a newer video card that's compatible with ubuntu |
| 05:46 | Flannel | arrrghhh: Does it happen quickly or take a while? |
| 05:46 | weternal | because I've got an open minipci slot |
| 05:46 | Xcerca | tritium thanks |
| 05:46 | Theaxiom | does the nvidia geforce 8800GTX work great in ubuntu? |
| 05:46 | arrrghhh | Flannel, usually takes a while. |
| 05:46 | hbalint | because it is strange,m, that the linux can use my card to work with compiz, and get some effects, but |
| 05:46 | Reformer81 | weternal: No. There's no need to get a new card. |
| 05:47 | Reformer81 | weternal: You just need to figure out why yours isn't working. Can you not even start Ubuntu? Is that the issue? |
| 05:47 | Flannel | arrrghhh: Mmmm, well, if there are no logs being written successfully to disk, you might have to rely on the monitor |
| 05:47 | weternal | no, ubuntu is working fine, I'm just not able to get the visual effects that I'd like from compiz |
| 05:47 | Xcerca | to watch you tube movies you need flash right ? |
| 05:48 | weternal | It's not a huge problem if the ati 9000 doesn't support compiz |
| 05:48 | shaozuozhen | weternal:that's the same problem with my friend's |

| 05:49 | fasttrack | http://paste.ubuntu.com/39010/ |
| 05:49 | fasttrack | its very silly... but it works |
| 05:49 | pazsion | word i'm in ubuntu using atirage pro-m and the sound works awesome +D |
| 05:49 | Reformer81 | weternal: First, run 'glxgears' in a terminal. Does that work? |
| 05:50 | arrrghhh | weternal, well depends, but probably dpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg |
| 05:50 | fasttrack | without this... its a huge pain to install and restart the installer everytime.... the fact that they already use wget and resumes it..is greatly helpful |
| 05:50 | pazsion | and the touchscrren works this is bad booty |
| 05:50 | weternal | aarrrhg yes the gears work |
| 05:50 | favro | Flannel: thnx - bootchart gives a pic of the boot sequence - normally I press e, down, e at grub to edit the kernel line and add "profile" at the end to reprofile the boot sequence but in hardys' kernels it doesn't work |

| 05:53 | fasttrack | but |

| 06:12 | arrrghhh | zzl, yes and no. they do the same thing, but they are far from "the same" |
| 06:12 | zzl | which do you prefer? |
| 06:12 | Bhavesh | Forgott3n`_ you got the right idea.. dd command will work, that's what i ended up doing to two of the drives trying to troubleshoot some installation issue |
| 06:12 | zzl | and how do you install |

| 06:14 | arrrghhh | dougb, yea i have seen choppiness on all sorts of cards/systems. the windows implementation *seems* to work better, but that doesn't surprise me. adobe doesn't seem to give a crap about linux. |

| 06:16 | zzl | arrrghhh: one more question,virtualbox almost has the same functionality as wine and can browse the internet in virtualbox as well? |
| 06:17 | arrrghhh | axisr9, stealing wifi and sharing it with a desktop? lol |
| 06:17 | axisr9 | no the wireless router is downstairs |
| 06:17 | arrrghhh | zzl, wine is COMPLETELY different. |
| 06:17 | axisr9 | i cant run a cat5 cable upstairs |
| 06:17 | chuy_max | axisr9, never tried it with a router, but you can with a desktop directly connected to the laptop |
| 06:17 | axisr9 | so i use my laptop to get online from the bedroom |
| 06:17 | Bhavesh | axisr9 basically you want to make your laptop to act like a gateway for your desktop |
| 06:17 | kangyul | arrrghhh: can you tell me how to do? Thanks |
| 06:17 | axisr9 | Bhavesh yea, i run windows xp on the laptop and it works just fine. I go into network connections, and i highlight the wireless and the network card and i right click and click 'BRIDGE' |
| 06:18 | axisr9 | and it works instantly |
| 06:18 | axisr9 | but i want to do that in linux |
| 06:18 | chuy_max | axisr9, you need a crossed utp5 |
| 06:18 | Forgott3n` | dum de duumm deee |
| 06:18 | Forgott3n` | dd working away |
| 06:18 | arrrghhh | kangyul, uh open vlc, click file -> open stream, put in the credentials. |
| 06:18 | Forgott3n` | I didn't set the bs= to anything |
| 06:18 | Bhavesh | axisr9 it's not too complicated, listen to chuy_max |
| 06:18 | Realcoolguy | charging pin on my laptop, completely destroyed and useless :( |
| 06:18 | Forgott3n` | will that hinder the speed? |
| 06:19 | Bhavesh | Forgott3n` i don't know what all the options means i just copied command from internet but it did zero out the drive |
| 06:19 | ogzy | i mean the ubuntu logo that is at the tray that we click and see the menu, i am trying to put another pic instead of that logo, how can i do it? |
| 06:19 | joeKr | Reminds me of a comedian I heard: "The internet is down at my house. I think my neighbor forgot to pay his cable bill. That's so inconsiderate of him." |
| 06:19 | chuy_max | lol |
| 06:19 | Bhavesh | joeKr heheh good one |
| 06:19 | arrrghhh | so if this box locks up again, what should i check when it reboots? /var/log/messages had no errors when i checked it after the last lockup. |
| 06:19 | axisr9 | i dont need any cables or anything. i just want it so that the eth0 port will share the wireless internet |
| 06:19 | axisr9 | so if i plug something in the eth0 port |
| 06:19 | axisr9 | it will work like it does in windows |
| 06:19 | axisr9 | i have any/all necessary cables in my room |
| 06:20 | bazhang | !ics |
| 06:20 | ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php |
| 06:20 | weternal | oh hey so thanks I got it working |
| 06:20 | arrrghhh | axisr9, remember linux is not windows, so don't expect it "to work like it does windows" |
| 06:20 | weternal | compiz |
| 06:20 | axisr9 | arrrghhh i know |
| 06:20 | Bhavesh | axisr9 normally when you connect 2 ethernet devices , you need a cross over cable |
| 06:20 | Dillo_of_Faeo | !alsa |
| 06:20 | Bhavesh | arr i mean NIC |
| 06:20 | ubottu | 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/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 |
| 06:20 | arrrghhh | axisr9, and i was gonna suggest firestarter lol |
| 06:20 | axisr9 | but this isnt two nics |
| 06:20 | Dillo_of_Faeo | !bring me a cake |
| 06:20 | ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bring me a cake |
| 06:20 | Dillo_of_Faeo | aww :( |
| 06:20 | arrrghhh | lol |
| 06:20 | Bhavesh | axisr9 well you got on on desktop and one on laptop |
| 06:21 | joeKr | Any printer wizards about? On Ubuntu 8.04 I've installed a Panasonic KX-P4400 (It recommended an HP LaserJet 2 driver) and when I print, it's busy for 3 seconds, the job shows complete, all looks good, but nothing ever comes out. Printer remains silent. Test pages are the same. Print to PDF file is working. Any Ideas? |
| 06:21 | bazhang | Dillo_of_Faeo, please /msg ubottu for fun if you wish |
| 06:21 | axisr9 | i just want the wireless card built into the laptop to share the internet with the network card built into the laptop |
| 06:21 | Bhavesh | axisr9 here's how it would look WirelessAP -> laptop -> desktop |
| 06:21 | axisr9 | ok |
| 06:22 | Bhavesh | axisr9 so wireless AP -> laptop (wireless) from laptop -> desktop wired connection |
| 06:22 | |
