| LinuxJones | Panzerboy, that would explain why it doesn't work | 12:00 |
| Panzerboy | LinuxJones: i was thinking now about installing another kernel | 12:00 |
| Panzerboy | LinuxJones: indeed | 12:00 |
| LinuxJones | Panzerboy, have you upgraded your system ? | 12:00 |
| Panzerboy | LinuxJones: had the EXACT same problem with warty | 12:00 |

| mcphail | Panzerboy: ntfs is a black art | 12:01 |
| Panzerboy | because from mandrake 10.1 official it worked, also the copying and, obviously the playing | 12:01 |

| thoreauputic | junit: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 | 12:39 |
| I_Need_Help666 | kent, thanks for the site of it | 12:39 |
| junit | how do i get into the command line | 12:39 |
| kent | I_Need_Help666, if you have gdesklets installed. then run it, and from its menu, you choose the option to install a desklet and from there you install that desklet from the page i sent yuo. Ok? | 12:40 |
| FR500 | i had a bunch of files on my desktop, they were owned by root, so i went to a console, sudo - and deleted them with rm /home/username/Desktop/* | 12:40 |
| junit | and I am in hoay | 12:40 |
| thoreauputic | or xserver-xorg in hoary | 12:40 |
| FR500 | now panels dont work | 12:40 |

| FR500 | how do i fix it | 12:40 |
| junit | But I can't even see anything on the screen | 12:40 |
| junit | so | 12:40 |
| I_Need_Help666 | kent, yea I know how, just didn't know where to get it | 12:40 |
| junit | i can't type anything in | 12:40 |
| shadeofgrey | okay - i successfully shut down x and logged in as my user but after typing the run command it told me i had to be root - so i got back to the prompt and typed su and my password, but it told me the password was wrong - and its the same password i use when i open the root terminal | 12:40 |
| thoreauputic | FR500: you just blew the whole desktop away | 12:40 |

| thoreauputic | FR500: try killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel | 12:42 |
| FR500 | ok | 12:42 |
| kent | FR500, if your good, you might rightclick on the desktop and start a terminal. From there, start "gnome-panel". That will get you one panel, and from that one, you can add the other panel. Then you have the panels back, but you need to configure them. | 12:42 |

| johns__ | in that XF86Config-4 is a line with 'nv' that must be 'nvidia' | 01:13 |
| crimsun_ | junit: right now I'm using wxvlc at work | 01:13 |
| pestilence | dilema-U: here is the line you want | 01:14 |
| pestilence | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty universe multiverse | 01:14 |
| G_pooper | is there a way to have Gdesklets stay over your windows | 01:14 |
| junit | ISthere any good audio player with a good library feature? | 01:14 |
| tritium | johns__, you can dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 rather than edit the config file by hand | 01:14 |
| thoreauputic | dilema-U: either 1) your sources are not complete or2) you haven't reloaded them | 01:14 |
| crimsun_ | junit: amarok and rhythmbox are both good | 01:14 |
| crimsun_ | junit: but "good" is subjective | 01:14 |
| junit | I tried rhythm box, but it never added my whole library | 01:14 |
| johns__ | tritium: could be, but it didn't work for me. | 01:14 |
| dilema-U | thoreauputic, dude i literally just installed Ubuntu | 01:14 |
| G_pooper | junit, amarok and rhthmbox have good libraries, but I use XMMS if you want good skins | 01:14 |
| dilema-U | i installed xmms only | 01:14 |
| tritium | johns__, if you edited it and changed the md5sum, that's probably why | 01:14 |
| crimsun_ | junit: warty? if so, the version of gst doesn't have the fix for skipping image files. | 01:14 |
| carajean | how do i do the amixer post | 01:15 |
| dilema-U | so i didn't do anything | 01:15 |
| carajean | ?? | 01:15 |
| G_pooper | junit, amarok and rhthmbox have good libraries, but I use XMMS if you want good skins | 01:15 |
| G_pooper | opps | 01:15 |
| dilema-U | if ubunut is spitting out errors not my fault | 01:15 |
| G_pooper | sorry | 01:15 |
| johns__ | tritium: I know | 01:15 |
| thoreauputic | dilema-U: yes, well you need to enable your sources and reload them I think | 01:15 |
| junit | I am on Hoary | 01:15 |
| johns__ | I always hack my X config | 01:15 |
| G_pooper | Is there a way I can put Gdesklets over windows, like keep them on top | 01:15 |
| tritium | johns__, that can be remedied, however | 01:15 |
| pestilence | dilema-U: if you have added the above to your sources.list, go to a command line and type "sudo apt-get update" | 01:15 |
| dilema-U | LOL | 01:15 |
| higgs-boson | carajean, just type amixer in console | 01:16 |

| tritium | junit, did you find the preferences? | 01:18 |

| BrianAnthony | thoreauputic: what about as far as alsa goes | 01:37 |
| crimsun_ | ask in here, or ask me in #alsa | 01:37 |
| tritium | BrianAnthony, what did you ask about in there? | 01:38 |
| higgs-boson | crimsun, I have that same issue with an aureon 7.1 car. funny thing my speakers are oke. just the rear on both cards dont speak | 01:38 |
| thoreauputic | BrianAnthony: well, for example debian has alsaconf: ubuntu doesn't as far as I know | 01:38 |
| BrianAnthony | Well, XMMS is using alsa and it's outputting to my onboard sound card. but my movie player xine-ui is outputting to me pci card | 01:38 |
| crimsun_ | thoreauputic: alsaconf was removed because it is ineffectual and has some serious security bugs. | 01:38 |
| BrianAnthony | thoreauputic: that's where they busted me =P | 01:38 |
| higgs-boson | crimsun, I'll try #alsa | 01:38 |

| helio7 | SpinalTapp md5 sum is a good idea also; I swapped out a CDrom the other day when boot from CD was failing... turned out it was a bad CD | 02:32 |
| SpinalTapp | yeah it starts looking for DHCP stuff, and then says "no boot file found. insert boot failed | 02:32 |
| SpinalTapp | er, insert boot file or select bootable drive | 02:32 |
| cevans | SpinalTapp: you did burn the iso directly, and didn't copy it onto the cd, right? | 02:32 |
| mike__ | why does linux have to be so confusing sometimes! | 02:33 |
| cevans | mike__: .bin is rather ambiguous. | 02:33 |
| Neil3 | SpinalTapp, ubuntu goes up to eleven! | 02:33 |
| SpinalTapp | nope, i just cut and pasted. should i go into nero and burn it from scratch? | 02:33 |
| mike__ | yeah. i just downloaded JRE | 02:33 |
| cevans | SpinalTapp: Oh - you need to burn the file as an ISO file. | 02:33 |

| helio7 | So I'm having a problem: I'm installing Ubuntu on a variety of old machines and on some of them I have succeeded, whereas on others X will never load, and on others I have a successful environment and then one day on reboot X fails me completely... any ideas? I have 2 machines on hand that are stuck with no X | 02:34 |
| cevans | mike__: Oh, just do "sh <filename>" | 02:34 |
| lavigj | anyone handy with kernel modules around tonight? | 02:34 |
| mike__ | of cool | 02:34 |
| SpinalTapp | good call. i'll try that, and hopefully i'll be back on in thirty minutes or so from Ubuntu | 02:34 |
| SpinalTapp | thanks all | 02:34 |
| fsc | helio7, check your Xfree84-4 or xorg.conf file first | 02:35 |
| cevans | mike__: The .bin files for the JRE are really just shell scripts. I don't know why they have that extension. | 02:35 |
| fsc | helio7, basically it comes down to doing a little research about your video cards, what linux drivers are available, and adjusting your X config file approprietly | 02:35 |
| mike__ | so do you think it would be a good idea to just intstall all of the packages from my cd after install ubuntu? | 02:35 |
| zenrox | mike__, do you want them all installed | 02:36 |
| cevans | mike__: Probably not. | 02:36 |
| cevans | mike__: You probably don't need them all. | 02:36 |
| mike__ | i dont know, i just go to install things that i want and im always running into errors saying install this or that | 02:36 |
| helio7 | fsc: Ok i'm familiar with that... what's your first suggestion as to the part... ? | 02:37 |
| helio7 | the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file says "no devices detected" if these are donated machines (I'm an elementary school teacher) How can I find out what video cards I have? | 02:37 |

| cevans | tritium: Is that wine more recent than the one in hoary? | 02:42 |
| SpinalTapp | i suppose I need to find a good cd burning prog. for free. any suggestions? | 02:42 |
| tritium | cevans, yes | 02:42 |
| dud | k3b is the superiour one | 02:42 |
| tritium | cevans, helio7 setup the repos, then install wine and winetools. Then, run winetools to setup wine. | 02:42 |
| dud | but it is kde based, not gnome... | 02:42 |
| cevans | SpinalTapp: Hmm... I usually use cdrecord on windows, but it is command-line based. | 02:43 |
| tritium | helio7, are you the 2nd-grade teacher that's been in here before? | 02:43 |
| helio7 | oh, another random question; do people think I should enable the universal repositories on school workstations? | 02:43 |

| dakam | cg0def: go to your repositorys and enable multiverse | 02:50 |
| cevans | helio7: Ubuntu might have some strange way of autodetecting, like having X do it every time or something. It is probably better on old machines to check the X config and set the drivers properly. | 02:50 |
| cg0def | dakam: ok I'll do that | 02:50 |
| cg0def | dakam: thx | 02:50 |

| anthonws | tritium: ok. i'm going to check the ndiswrapper | 04:40 |

| tritium | pagefault, is right, I think. apt-cache search atheros does return the l-r-m packages | 04:41 |

| tritium | ells, is the drive new and possibly unsupported by the mobo? | 04:44 |
| NetwrkMonkey | went back to a previous kernel | 04:44 |
| aroman | cevans, well yeah.. makes sense since it wanted one version of dbus, while another was installed | 04:44 |
| cevans | regeya: ? | 04:44 |
| regeya | I take it that's an earlier version of textedit that's common on os x boxes now | 04:45 |

| tritium | anthonws, are you using Warty? Hoary? | 04:45 |
| anthonws | tritium: hoary | 04:45 |

| viper12 | evening all. First off.....is there ANY way to enable the cups admin via the web page??? and second, if not, is there a gui admin tool for cups? I've been pulling my hair out on this one. | 05:07 |
| SiRrUs | hello | 05:07 |

| SiRrUs | very quiet in here | 05:11 |
| NetwrkMonkey | viper search the ubuntu forums | 05:11 |
| NetwrkMonkey | and you can manage it through computer system configuration printing | 05:11 |
| viper12 | lol.........what do you think i've been DOING for the last 2 hours ? | 05:11 |
| SiRrUs | hoary or warty | 05:12 |
| cg0def | are debian pkgs really incompatible with ubuntu? | 05:12 |
| hawke | cg0def: Not usually | 05:12 |
| viper12 | 2 ubuntu machines. one is local to the printer.......works fine. trying to get the OTHER machine to SEE the cups printer... | 05:13 |
| cg0def | what might be incompatible then? | 05:13 |
| hawke | cg0def: Gnome probably wouldn't play nice. | 05:13 |
| cg0def | yeah that's right | 05:13 |
| hawke | cg0def: generally system stuff. | 05:13 |
| hawke | cg0def: most apps should be OK. | 05:13 |
| viper12 | web admin barfs when trying to do any ADMIN, and the forums seemed to indicate that ubuntu has WONDERFULLY disabled the damn thing...which I find highly annoying. | 05:13 |
| hawke | cg0def: why do you ask? | 05:13 |
| cg0def | because I can't seem to find anything in the ubuntu database | 05:14 |

| bigern75 | that sux, i guess | 05:33 |
| dilema-U | it does | 05:33 |
| bigern75 | ok thats what i was gionna say | 05:33 |
| dilema-U | unless you wanna keep 1 hdd out of raid | 05:33 |
| dilema-U | for now | 05:33 |
| dilema-U | that being the / | 05:33 |

| dilema-U | always around 1030 -1032 | 05:41 |
| cg0def | go figure | 05:41 |
| pussfeller | oh well, at least they didn't rip me off.. thats my first thot then I started doig the math and figured it couldnt be any regular combination | 05:41 |
| Gershwin | do you have onboard video? | 05:42 |
| dilema-U | cg0def, well i dunno but maybe ram is reserved at boot in XP? i know some ram(it may be a trivial amount) is reserved at boot for linux | 05:42 |
| SiRrUs | and this is what my gig is reported as Mem: 1003744k | 05:42 |
| pussfeller | yeah, some nvidia mx400 or so i think | 05:42 |
| cg0def | I am not that worried about the ram | 05:42 |
| dilema-U | cg0def, yeha but he's being robbed of over 50MB's | 05:42 |
| Gershwin | what keeps you up at night then? | 05:42 |
| dilema-U | 60 actually | 05:42 |
| sgteich | 64 actually | 05:43 |
| cg0def | dilema-U: he's not it's just the tool that shows the wrong quantity | 05:43 |
| Gershwin | in what, ram, hd, what? | 05:43 |
| BadGuy | Problem | 05:43 |
| dilema-U | yeah i'd say run memtest86 | 05:43 |
| cg0def | if memtest shows up the correct amount then everything is goos | 05:44 |
| cg0def | good | 05:44 |
| cg0def | I would try memtest86+ though | 05:44 |
| Gershwin | prob just current config of onboard video | 05:44 |
| pussfeller | does getting up in to tthe gig o ram stage give you super noticeable improvement in performance | 05:44 |
| Gershwin | it it is onboard and uses shared ram, they normally allocate exactly 64 Mb | 05:44 |
| cg0def | not really | 05:44 |
| nmy | IMHO, yes | 05:44 |

| Panzerboy | hi all | 07:07 |
| mebaran151 | anybdoy know how to make the xmms fonts less ragged | 07:07 |
| mebaran151 | my xmms fonts look pretty bad for some reason | 07:07 |
| cef | moj0rising: you'd think so, what with 314 odd in the channel, but no, there's no one here *grin* | 07:07 |
| underdog | well mebaran151, I see all the other fonts on xfontsel | 07:07 |
| Frederick | Xenguy it is | 07:07 |
| mebaran151 | no | 07:07 |
| moj0rising | Ronan151, You should be able to change themes without downloading anything except the theme itself. | 07:07 |
| mebaran151 | but I meant in an app you want to use the font | 07:07 |
| mebaran151 | do you see it | 07:07 |
| moj0rising | haha | 07:07 |
| mebaran151 | like in gnome | 07:08 |
| GammaRay | Ronan151: some themes need one, some don't | 07:08 |

| mebaran151 | yeah | 07:08 |

| moj0rising | yes | 07:08 |

| === dc17 [~don@pcp08366144pcs.lndsd201.pa.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| mebaran151 | I think RAM is detected on boot | 07:08 |
| Panzerboy | i just need the "ubuntu way" :D | 07:08 |
| DesiGuy421 | panzer | 07:08 |
| underdog | mebaran151: nope | 07:08 |
| DesiGuy421 | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 07:08 |
| underdog | mebaran151: can't see it on the gnome applications | 07:08 |
| moj0rising | you can add more ram and everything will be fine. | 07:08 |
| cef | no need to fiddle with anything if you add more ram | 07:08 |
| Panzerboy | DesiGuy421: i am in hoary now :) | 07:08 |
| moj0rising | no adjustments needed. | 07:08 |
| DesiGuy421 | ohh, :/ | 07:09 |
| Panzerboy | DesiGuy421: i just need another kernel | 07:09 |
| Frederick | moj0rising thanks for the info :) | 07:09 |
| moj0rising | no sweat. | 07:09 |
| cef | however, you might want to test your ram using something like memtest86 after you install it | 07:09 |
| Panzerboy | cause with this one, i have some problems copying files from a ntfs partition | 07:09 |
| GammaRay | Ronan151: if the theme is just a few kb it probably needs one | 07:09 |
| mebaran151 | underdog, yep | 07:09 |
| Panzerboy | so i _guess_ it's the kernel's fault | 07:09 |
| moj0rising | I have a simple question... HOw can I remove a symbolic link? | 07:09 |
| mebaran151 | all apps based on gtk2 use fontconfig I think | 07:09 |
| Xenguy | Frederick: google is our friend -> http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/dists/warty/main/installer-i386/current/doc/manual/en/ch02.html | 07:09 |
| mebaran151 | I might be wrong as fonts are tricky for me | 07:09 |
| cef | simply to make sure it's working with your hardware, not specifically to make sure it works with linux | 07:09 |
| Panzerboy | so is there a recommended way of installing a new kernel? | 07:09 |
| Xenguy | Frederick: google -> ubuntu "system requirements" | 07:10 |
| mebaran151 | fontconfig I think uses only truetype fonts | 07:10 |
| Panzerboy | let's say not necessary new, bunt _other_ kernel | 07:10 |
| Frederick | Xenguy so you are thanks a lot :) | 07:10 |
| mebaran151 | and type 1 | 07:10 |
| Xenguy | Frederick: yw - nite | 07:10 |
| mebaran151 | so you are probably going to have to lose the xfont | 07:10 |

| snowblink_ | Panzerboy: what problems with copying? | 07:10 |
| Frederick | Xenguy what do you mean with yw - nite? | 07:11 |
| Panzerboy | snowblink_: it started when I tried to play some mp3's from that partition, no matter what player i've tried, it kept behaving the same: it played like 10 secs of the mp3 the get to the next on | 07:11 |
| Panzerboy | and so on | 07:11 |
| cef | moj0rising: same way you delete any file. just make sure that you are deleting the link, and not what the link points at | 07:11 |
| Panzerboy | snowblink_: then i've tried to copy some mp3's to my /home | 07:11 |
| kreiger | Panzerboy, which mp3 player? | 07:11 |
| moj0rising | ah. Where is the link located. I know that sounds silly.. | 07:12 |
| Panzerboy | snowblink_: only to find out that it failed to copy each one of them | 07:12 |
| underdog | mebaran151: noooooooooo... not nexusssssss :(((( | 07:12 |

| moj0rising | ..i broke all my mozilla browsers. | 07:12 |
| Panzerboy | anyway, i just want to try another kernel | 07:13 |
| Panzerboy | but it's strange, cause in warty i had the EXACT same problem | 07:13 |
| Panzerboy | not in mandrake 10.1 though | 07:13 |
| Panzerboy | so ... i don't know | 07:13 |
| cef | moj0rising: how did you install java? | 07:13 |
| moj0rising | followed ubuntuguide. | 07:13 |
| moj0rising | ran the script. | 07:14 |
| moj0rising | THen excecuted some commands in the guide. | 07:14 |
| moj0rising | it works w/ java apps. LIke JAP. | 07:14 |

| moj0rising | I really messed this up. | 07:27 |
| kreiger | Hey, anybody know how i can make it so that you can't change root passwd simply by sudo passwd root | 07:27 |
| da_bon_bon | anyone know of a wine esd driver ?? | 07:27 |
| moj0rising | I put everything back and now mozilla browsers still won't work. | 07:28 |
| dash | kreiger: | 07:28 |
| dash | er | 07:28 |
| dash | kreiger: you can't, unix sucks | 07:28 |
| Frederick | is there any channel to discuss hardware related stuff on freenode? | 07:28 |
| da_bon_bon | kreiger: sudo passwd | 07:28 |
| cef | kreiger: look at sudo's config. you should be able to block the running of passwd | 07:28 |
| kreiger | Yeah, da_bon_bon sometimes my roomie is on my comp. i want to make sure he can't sudo or su anything, and he might figure out sudo passwd root | 07:29 |
| kreiger | something like an "enter old password to make new ones" kinda thing | 07:29 |
| dash | kreiger: so give him an account that doesn't have sudo | 07:29 |
| da_bon_bon | kreiger: disable password-less sudo | 07:29 |
| moj0rising | OK. I moved the .mozilla dir and now they run. | 07:29 |
| kreiger | da_bon_bon, how? | 07:29 |
| moj0rising | the browsers, not java./ | 07:29 |
| dash | kreiger: yeah, definitely make sudo prompt you for a passwd | 07:29 |
| dash | (it does by default, of course) | 07:29 |
| snowblink_ | Panzerboy: are you using ext3? reiser? | 07:29 |
| kreiger | Yeah, but not for changing root | 07:30 |
| dash | kreiger: eh? | 07:30 |
| cef | have to make it prompt always, even if you have given it a password recently | 07:30 |
| dash | cef: eh | 07:30 |
| kreiger | where do i change that? | 07:30 |
| JDahl | kreiger, man sudoers... you can blacklist specific commands, I think | 07:30 |
| dash | cef: sudo -k is probably enough | 07:30 |
| kreiger | blacklist? | 07:30 |
| dash | kreiger: when you type 'sudo blah', it /never/ prompts you for a password? | 07:30 |
| Panzerboy | snowblink_: reiser | 07:30 |
| cef | if you run more than one sudo quickly, the second (and more) sudo's will NOT prompt for the password | 07:30 |
| dash | cef: yes | 07:31 |
| snowblink_ | Panzerboy: can it copy files from reiser partition to partition? | 07:31 |
| JDahl | kreiger, nm... I thought you were asking how to disable sudo passwd | 07:31 |
| cef | there is a defined time limit you can modify for sudo's config | 07:31 |
| dash | cef: but sudo -k will fix that | 07:31 |
| kreiger | it does when i run a command, but if I sudo passwd root i get :Enter new unix password" | 07:31 |
| kreiger | and it does NOT prompt me for a password | 07:31 |
| dash | kreiger: yes | 07:31 |
| cef | kreiger: it's cos you've run a sudo command recently | 07:31 |
| dash | kreiger: because sudo only prompts for a password every N minutes | 07:31 |
| kreiger | oooo | 07:31 |
| dash | kreiger: if you do sudo -k before letting your roommate use the machine, he can't sudo. | 07:32 |
| kreiger | nice | 07:32 |
| Panzerboy | snowblink_: let me try | 07:32 |

| da_bon_bon | u install java ? | 07:34 |
| moj0rising | I did. | 07:34 |
| moj0rising | It works if I run java apps. | 07:34 |
| JDahl | moj0rising, if you're using sun's java, there's nothing to it... just make a symlink to the installed java plugin library | 07:34 |
| moj0rising | but not so great in the browser. | 07:34 |
| moj0rising | I think I am doing it incorrectly... | 07:35 |
| snowblink_ | Panzerboy: hmmm. How did you mount your ntfs partition? mount command? fstab? | 07:35 |
| da_bon_bon | moj0rising: JDahl is right | 07:35 |
| moj0rising | can you tell me what I sould type at the command line? | 07:35 |
| moj0rising | Thats what my instructions say but its not working for me. | 07:35 |

| K-Rich | hi | 08:10 |
| ott3r | hey | 08:10 |
| ott3r | welcome to the lost and found | 08:10 |
| MrStupid | doing my first steps with ubuntu... :-) | 08:10 |
| MrStupid | and of course i've screwed up my partition table with parted. :-> | 08:10 |
| K-Rich | congrats :) | 08:10 |
| MrStupid | this nice 2.6-parted-fat32-resize-bug... i thought it was fixed. | 08:11 |
| MrStupid | *sigh* | 08:11 |
| MrStupid | i should have used partition magic :-/ | 08:12 |
| K-Rich | ott3r: http://clueful.shagged.org/apachetop/ | 08:12 |
| K-Rich | ott3r: actually, apachetop is in universe | 08:12 |
| ott3r | and universe is gettable with synaptic... | 08:13 |
| K-Rich | yeah if you enable it | 08:14 |
| ott3r | just did lets see what happens... | 08:15 |
| ott3r | downloading files.... | 08:15 |
| K-Rich | i never use synaptic so if you need help with it i can't :/ | 08:15 |
| ott3r | how do you install single things like apachetop from the tarball? | 08:16 |
| K-Rich | compile them | 08:17 |
| JDahl | ott3r, why wouldnt you use the Ubuntu package? | 08:17 |
| snowblink_ | ott3r: checkinstall works for me | 08:17 |
| ott3r | is apachetop in the ubuntu package? | 08:18 |
| JDahl | didnt you just say it's in universe? | 08:18 |
| K-Rich | yeah i just checked... it's in universe | 08:18 |
| ott3r | i didn't have universe checked | 08:18 |
| ott3r | now i do | 08:18 |

| jacquesmerde | thanks for the link snowblink_, maybe i can rescue MY old laptop (but i doubt it) | 08:33 |
| MrStupid | does anyone know a free fat32-partition-resize tool, that works? (NOT parted) | 08:34 |
| jacquesmerde | if computers werent just pieced together, like they were all fused into one piece, it would make them a LOT harder to upgrade | 08:34 |
| jacquesmerde | parted is overkill with fat32, yeah? i'd only bring out parted for ntfs | 08:34 |
| K-Rich | jacquesmerde: it would make them macs :) | 08:34 |

| jacquesmerde | isnt resizing fat32 trivial compared to ntfs? thats why whenever i install xp, i chose the fat32 file system. never had to resize it though | 08:36 |

| heist | i'd put linux-kernel-headers-2.6.8.1-5-386 then? | 08:41 |
| hypatia | jacquesmerde: apt and aptitude both store old package files in /var/cache/apt/archives depending on your configuration. | 08:41 |
| hypatia | jacquesmerde: at the moment I think the default is to store them so you're in luck (and will probably find that that directory is *huge*) | 08:42 |
| K-Rich | jacquesmerde: look in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 08:42 |
| jacquesmerde | hypatia, so i should have the old package around? a dist-upgrade / upgrade barfed my sound, and i'm trying to roll back, installing what was removed, and removing what was installed is trivial, but the upgrades....how do i do it? | 08:42 |
| hypatia | jacquesmerde: well, you're looking for a file in that directory with the right name and an old version number. | 08:43 |
| hypatia | If you don't know the package name and want to roll back an entire system upgrade... well, that's nearly impossible. | 08:43 |
| hypatia | jacquesmerde: but if you do, you find the right name and number among the files in that dir, and run "sudo dpkg -i <pkgnames>" | 08:44 |
| jacquesmerde | hypatia, K-rich, i looked into /var/cache/apt/archives, only the packages i have upgraded TO not FROM seem to be there... | 08:45 |
| heist | ohh, i found it in synaptic | 08:46 |
| hypatia | if that's true and the packages are no longer available upstream then you pretty much can't downgrade (except by finding someone else who happens to have a copy) | 08:46 |
| heist | it's linux-headers-2.6.8.1-5 | 08:47 |
| heist | ;] thanks K-Rich | 08:47 |
| K-Rich | np | 08:47 |
| jacquesmerde | hypatia, ok. say i reinstall from scratch, and THEN bring my system back up to this point, is there a way i can get aptitude to log the packages it upgrades FROM? because i use aptitiude i have a complete list of what i have to rollback | 08:48 |
| hypatia | not that I'm aware of, if you run dpkg --list at any point you get a complete list of current versions, so you could use that. | 08:49 |

| maximaus | crap, the IBM site offers no insight on this old Aptiva. What do you guys think: if an ISA sound card doesn't work, surely an ISA network card should be equally ignored? Should I even think about a usb soundcard? | 10:55 |
| zenrox | Aegir, you mean firefox | 10:55 |
| zenrox | maximaus, not true | 10:56 |
| Lathiat | maximaus: if the isa sound card doesnt work odds are the io/dma/irq settings are wrong | 10:56 |
| Aegir | Whatever =P | 10:56 |
| Lathiat | maximaus: which is perfectly fixable | 10:56 |
| k31th | Aegir /msg me it im going to dig out other monitor from loft | 10:56 |

| maximaus | brb | 10:57 |
| Lathiat | you may then need to fiddle with settings such as io, irq and dma | 10:57 |
| Lathiat | you could try io=0x220 irq=5, works on many setups | 10:57 |
| netmonk | sorry, this was for the service channel | 10:57 |
| zenrox | lol | 10:57 |
| zenrox | what was the isa sound card setup for mdk | 10:58 |
| maximaus | Lathiat: scuse me for being a knuckledragger, but would those be bios or Ubuntu settings? | 10:58 |
| Lathiat | yeh you can install that i think | 10:58 |
| zenrox | ubuntu has that as well | 10:58 |
| Lathiat | maximaus: in ubuntu | 10:58 |
| Lathiat | maximaus: run modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 | 10:58 |
| Lathiat | for example | 10:58 |
| Lathiat | but its best to try 'modprobe sb' to see if it can figure it out for itself | 10:58 |
| Lathiat | if not, try those settings, if not i can give you a script which will try most usual combinations | 10:59 |
| Lathiat | maximaus: Alternatively, if your BIOS lists what the setting sare | 10:59 |
| Lathiat | maximaus: you can copy them down, and then specify what it said they were | 10:59 |
| maximaus | modeprobe sb as root gives nothing, is that a good thing? LOL | 10:59 |
| Lathiat | possibly | 10:59 |

| Lathiat | see what it says | 11:00 |

| abi_ | thoreauputic, yes, and i get the scsi locations of my cd-rom and cd-rw | 11:29 |
| thoreauputic | abi_: check where your /dev/cdrom link points as well - ls -l /dev/cdrom | 11:29 |
| thoreauputic | you probably need to change that link | 11:29 |
| === siimo [~siimo@siimo.user] has joined #ubuntu | ||
| abi_ | thoreauputic, /dev/cdrom must point to cd reader or to cd writer? | 11:30 |
| thoreauputic | eg from /dev/hdd to /dev/hdc or whatever | 11:30 |
| siimo | does linux support PCI express | 11:30 |
| thoreauputic | abi_: points to the reader here | 11:31 |
| thoreauputic | in my case /dev/hdd | 11:31 |
| abi_ | thoreauputic, well, now is pointing to writer, how do i change it? | 11:31 |
| === maximaus [~max@h66n7c1o285.bredband.skanova.com] has left #ubuntu [] | ||
| thoreauputic | delete the link and make a new one | 11:31 |
| thoreauputic | # rm /dev/cdrom && ln -s /dev/hd* /dev/cdrom | 11:32 |
| thoreauputic | something like that | 11:32 |
| scizzo | you can change the preferences for the cdrom stuff a lot in the controls from GNOME also | 11:33 |
| scizzo | you can also change that in /etc/fstab | 11:34 |

| thoreauputic | abi_: scizzo is right - you can edit /etc/fstab | 11:35 |
| abi_ | scizzo, but in fstab the two drives have identicar lines | 11:35 |
| scizzo | abi_: well they should use different devices | 11:35 |
| thoreauputic | abi_: they shouldn't - needs fixing | 11:35 |
| scizzo | /dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 | 11:35 |
| scizzo | /dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 | 11:35 |
| scizzo | as a example | 11:35 |
| abi_ | scizzo, yes, I mean all line is identicar but /media/cdrom? | 11:36 |
| thoreauputic | abi_: those are the mount points | 11:36 |
| scizzo | abi_: well that is the main source of the mountpoints for the devices I guess | 11:36 |
| thoreauputic | abi_: they need to be different, obviously :) | 11:36 |

| Lathiat | drasko: Windows uses 'digital playing' as thoreauputic just described you can do | 01:23 |

| p-fox | mjr, when i boot the smp kernel, /proc/cpuinfo only shows one cpu though. | 01:43 |
| kirkt | p-fox you're just greedyu | 01:44 |
| kirkt | 1 cpu is enough :) | 01:44 |
| mjr | p-fox, righto, then it isn't working for some reason | 01:44 |
| p-fox | kirkt, haha. but when i had 2 cpu's in fedora, i could rip a cd in half the time | 01:45 |
| kirkt | really? | 01:45 |
| p-fox | because grip would use them both | 01:45 |
| kirkt | now thats cool | 01:45 |

| thoreauputic | drasko: great - happy listening :) | 01:46 |
| p-fox | kirkt, apt runs better on it. the config tools work better. the iso is only 1 cd. the release turn around is quicker. etc etc etc | 01:46 |

| carthik | Rocha, is there is a magic command to download all the packages using apt-get ? | 05:23 |
| michele | hello | 05:23 |
| Tsjoklat | carthik, what is it that you want to do? | 05:24 |
| carthik | maybe we could have a DVD with all the sources and binaries on it. Is there one already? | 05:24 |
| unifi | just for everyone's information... warty does not unstall with the shuttle G4 case4 | 05:24 |
| Ryoppei | There exist a software that could look for dependencies y may need, or I have to do it by my self? | 05:24 |
| unifi | hoary does | 05:24 |
| Tsjoklat | Ryoppei, apt-get does that for you | 05:24 |
| carthik | Tsjoklat, same as Ryoppei, I want a cd/dvd will all the packages in it, for internet-less installation in remote continents... :) | 05:24 |
| unifi | with warty the installation hangs at xserver | 05:24 |
| michele | How can I change screen resolution to one not showed in the menu ? | 05:24 |
| Lathiat | Ryoppei: or use its frontend 'synaptic package manager' | 05:24 |
| Rocha | carthik, i don't think so | 05:24 |
| Tsjoklat | Ryoppei, you could use apt-get in console aptitude in console or synaptic in gui | 05:25 |
| Ryoppei | ok | 05:25 |
| Ryoppei | thank a lot | 05:25 |
| Ryoppei | I'll try it | 05:25 |
| Tsjoklat | Ryoppei, read the pages on ubuntuguide.org | 05:25 |
| carthik | michele, maybe your monitor doesn't support a higher resolution? | 05:25 |
| kreiger | How often should one apt-get update and apt-get upgrade? | 05:25 |
| Lathiat | Ryoppei: it is also used to update packages to the latest versions (security updates in warty, or new version in hoary) | 05:25 |
| kreiger | michele, i was trying to do the same thing | 05:26 |
| Tsjoklat | kreiger, depends on your speed, I do every day so I don't have to d/l 89 MB at once | 05:26 |
| Ryoppei | oops, a last question, form where can I download packages from umbutu or debian? (url) | 05:26 |
| carthik | michele, I fixed mine by popping in a Knoppix cd and copying the "mode" lines of the xf86config file over to the ubuntu xf86config file. | 05:26 |
| kreiger | michele in sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 are some options supposedly | 05:26 |
| Tsjoklat | kreiger, but if you are on a fast internet connection well.. | 05:26 |
| Lathiat | Ryoppei: the package manager knows where to fidn them | 05:26 |
| kreiger | Carthik, what did your ubuntu let you sit at? | 05:27 |
| Lathiat | Ryoppei: open the repositories settings and you can enable the universe archive to get even more programs (alot more) -- theres information on www.ubuntulinux.com/wiki/SynapticHowTo | 05:27 |
| kreiger | and what did knoppix run at? | 05:27 |
| michele | The problem is that i have a notebook with an external monitor and the notebok panel not support the resolution 1280x but the external monitor yes | 05:27 |
| Matrix | I downloaded Hoary and since then, the windows of the same program are all in the same icon of the pannel (like in winXP) how can i change it?? | 05:27 |

| housetier | Atrophy when you use the gnome desktop, there are lots of themes (and engines) you can try out | 06:51 |

| pagefault | but the nvidia driver just locks up my system after playing a few sounds | 06:53 |
| vi11e | how often I need to kill it | 06:53 |
| pagefault | so I am using the default kernel one | 06:53 |

| Atrophy | last I heard you can just mount it and it will work fine for read access but not write access | 07:04 |

| dtyge1 | Folks: about my everlasting problem with apache-mysql-php4 under linux. Look what it says: "php4: | 08:50 |

| carthik_work | n3wbi3, you have to login, first, to linux and then see what happens next | 08:51 |
| Levander | JDahl, guess I'll have to add them, search, remove them if they don't have them | 08:51 |

| evarlast | michael__: one for my local system. mdk/rh have an rpm called caching-nameserver that you just install, and it sets up bind as a caching nameserver and adds localhost in resolv.conf. | 10:43 |

| evarlast | no, squid has nothing to do with DNS. | 10:49 |
| jinx_ | vjaz: would you be so kind as to tell me how? | 10:50 |
| vjaz | jinx_, basically you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change everything from warty to hoary | 10:50 |
| jinx_ | oh | 10:50 |
| jinx_ | ok | 10:50 |
| jinx_ | and that's it? | 10:50 |

| shadeofgrey | spades: what does that do? | 11:38 |
| chaosmind | the partitioning scheme for a system depends on what you're going to use it for, personal desktop, multiuser server, etc. | 11:38 |
| spades | creats a symbolic link | 11:38 |
| awtcmc | it will be the only drive. just a home use computer. most of the space will go to /home for mp3s. so, i want to have partitions for /boot, /, /usr, swap, & /home. | 11:38 |

| chaosmind | sounds like you know as much as me! =) | 11:39 |
| awtcmc | how big to make the /boot, /usr, & / partitions? will have 1 GB of ddr RAM, is a 2 GB swap partition necessary? | 11:39 |
| awtcmc | i've heard that 100 mb is good for the /boot partiton, but is this too big? | 11:40 |

| sys2 | the fact that there is no root user :> | 11:45 |
| chaosmind | command to terminate= kill ( or Ctrl-C ) | 11:45 |
| AndyR | axonmania, you need kernel headers to exactly match the kernel | 11:45 |

| chaosmind | the root user is a convenience, but the sudo system (like MacOS X uses) is in fact a little bit more secure! | 11:46 |
| ompaul | sys2, (A) there is a root user (B) you do not have the password (C) use of sudo is to be encouraged as it logs the commands used :) | 11:46 |
| AndyR | i only had headers for -386 not 686 | 11:46 |
| axonmania | yes I know I had downloaded all but it doesnt work | 11:46 |
