| maxamillion | adamwest: #ubuntu is a zoo 24/7 .... but it looks like you are running gentoo in that screenshot ... why not ask there? | 12:28 |
| gunny01 | tonyyarusso: is there anything special I have to make it accessable to others on the network? | 12:29 |
| tonyyarusso | gunny01: Tell them you're IP address. Do you mean for them to see the pages, or to have write priviledges for it? What are the specifics of your setup? | 12:29 |
| drx0drx0drx0 | max, my option is to choose a different path, like /dev/hdc2 or /dev/evm/hdc2 | 12:29 |
| adamwest | that's not my screenshot:) that's a theme, maxamillion | 12:30 |

| drx0drx0drx0 | max, i tried both, but neither worked so I don't know what to enter... i can enter something else. | 12:30 |
| gunny01 | tonyyarusso: I want them to see the pages. I have A linux box 2 winxp boxes connected by a router. | 12:31 |
| tonyyarusso | gunny01: Then you shouldn't need to do much else. Make sure that anything you put in /var/www/ is chmodded a+rx, but other than that, you're all set. | 12:32 |
| gunny01 | tonyyarusso: how do I find out my ip? | 12:33 |
| tonyyarusso | gunny01: Internal (LAN) IP or global (accessible outside of network) IP? | 12:33 |
| gunny01 | internal | 12:33 |
| tonyyarusso | Use the 'ifconfig' command. | 12:34 |
| tonyyarusso | You can test it by putting http://the.ip.it.says in your browser. | 12:34 |

| Jester45 | hello | 12:36 |
| Gryfft | I've got a broadcom card in this laptop, so that means ndiswrapper. I've done everything right so far as I can tell... and it's still not working. | 12:36 |
| === priidu [n=Priit@58.246.250.138] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| maxamillion | Gryfft: doesn't always mean ndiswrapper ... what chipset is it? | 12:37 |
| maxamillion | Jester45: hiya | 12:37 |
| Gryfft | I will be SO HAPPY if it doesn't mean ndiswrapper. | 12:39 |
| Gryfft | But I think it does.. One second while I look up the chipset. | 12:39 |
| maxamillion | okies | 12:39 |
| Gryfft | pci id != chipset, huh. | 12:40 |
| Gryfft | pci id is 14e4:4318. | 12:41 |
| mark488 | basic Q: i don't see an md5 checker in the apps menu. is there one available via terminal? | 12:42 |
| maxamillion | Gryfft: its a pcmcia card? | 12:42 |
| Gryfft | Remind me what that means? | 12:43 |
| Gryfft | It's integrated, and pci, not usb. | 12:43 |
| maxamillion | yeah | 12:44 |
| maxamillion | do "lspcmcia | grep Broadcom" | 12:44 |
| Gryfft | nothing happens. | 12:46 |
| maxamillion | uhmmm... | 12:47 |
| maxamillion | "lspci | grep Broadcom" | 12:48 |
| maxamillion | it might be a minipci | 12:48 |
| Gryfft | yeop. | 12:48 |
| maxamillion | what's it say? | 12:48 |
| Gryfft | Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 812.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) | 12:48 |
| Gryfft | 802 but you know what I mean. | 12:49 |
| synic | Gryfft: I have that same laptop, same card. It works for me without ndiswrapper | 12:49 |
| Gryfft | In the words of homer simpson: explain how! | 12:49 |
| synic | modprobe bcm43xx | 12:49 |
| Gryfft | ok. no output. | 12:49 |
| synic | iwlist scan | 12:50 |
| Gryfft | eth1 pulls up no scan results... | 12:50 |
| synic | is the light on? | 12:50 |
| Gryfft | and for some weird reason it's calling it eth1 rather than wlan0. no ligh.t | 12:50 |
| synic | dmesg | 12:50 |
| synic | yeah, it calls it eth1 | 12:50 |
| synic | not all cards come up as wlan | 12:50 |
| Gryfft | thank you. reassurance is a beautiful, beautiful thing. | 12:51 |
| Gryfft | bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed. | 12:51 |
| Gryfft | the last three lines of the output from dmesg. | 12:51 |
| synic | are you no on edgy? | 12:51 |
| Gryfft | Xubuntu Edgy, yeah | 12:51 |
| synic | er.. .not | 12:51 |
| synic | install bcm43xx-fwcutter | 12:52 |
| maxamillion | stop!!! | 12:52 |
| maxamillion | no no ... bcm4318 needs ndiswrapper | 12:52 |
| synic | maxamillion: no, it doesn't | 12:52 |
| Gryfft | uh oh... | 12:52 |
| synic | Gryfft: install that and give me one sec, I have to find out what you do after that. | 12:53 |
| maxamillion | synic: yeah, it does ... dell laptops at my work use that minipci card, the issue i assume he is having is that he is loading the wrong driver into ndiswrapper | 12:53 |
| Gryfft | Okay.. | 12:53 |
| synic | maxamillion: I have the same card/laptop as he has, and bcm43xx works fine. | 12:53 |
| synic | /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh <-- run this | 12:54 |
| synic | rmmod bcm43xx | 12:54 |
| synic | modprobe bcm43xx | 12:54 |
| Gryfft | I think I already installed fwcutter.. | 12:54 |
| Gryfft | how would I ascertain that? | 12:54 |
| synic | wouldn't hurt to run it again. | 12:54 |
| maxamillion | the bcm4318 does work in bcm43xx, but not the minipci from dell... it needs ndiswrapper | 12:54 |
| Gryfft | I'm missing a destination file operand. And I'm on a compaq :-) | 12:55 |
| synic | maxamillion: ah, yeah, in the compaq's, it does infact work | 12:55 |
| maxamillion | synic: ah, okies | 12:55 |
| synic | Gryfft: what is the last line you see when you run that script? | 12:55 |
| Gryfft | the install? | 12:55 |
| synic | no, this: | 12:56 |
| synic | sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh | 12:56 |
| Gryfft | synic: The install hasn't worked, but I'll do that one sec | 12:56 |
| synic | wait, the apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter didn't work? | 12:56 |
| Gryfft | ah, I forgot apt-get. selftroutage. | 12:57 |
| === Gryfft slaps self. trout. all that. | ||
| synic | hah | 12:57 |
| Gryfft | Okayy, it didn't end with an error but there's an error up there in the microcode part.. | 12:58 |
| synic | yeah, that one is ok | 12:58 |
| synic | so reload the module, and hopefully it works | 12:58 |
| Gryfft | modprobe ndiswrapper? | 12:58 |
| synic | rmmod ndiswrapper, then modprobe it again | 12:58 |
| Gryfft | rrmmodding it informed me module ndiswrapper does not exist in proc/modules. | 01:00 |
| synic | er... sorry, bcm43xx | 01:00 |
| synic | <-- retard | 01:00 |
| Gryfft | sok, thanks | 01:00 |
| synic | yeah, make sure ndiswrapper isn't loaded, or it will screw things up | 01:00 |
| Gryfft | oh, ok... | 01:00 |
| Gryfft | rmmod ndiswrapper? | 01:01 |
| synic | yeah | 01:01 |
| Gryfft | how many different ways to I have to kill it? | 01:01 |
| Gryfft | other than rmmod | 01:01 |
| synic | that's it | 01:01 |
| drx0drx | btw, what does cloing for autoyast do? | 01:01 |
| Gryfft | ok | 01:01 |
| synic | then reload bcm43xx | 01:01 |
| maxamillion | Gryfft: i don't think there is any other way since its a module | 01:01 |
| Gryfft | ok. sudo modprobe bcm43xx. | 01:02 |
| maxamillion | Gryfft: nobody knows ... yast is like a science fiction novel, it just kinda happens | 01:02 |

| ShoeUnited | hrmmm | 02:28 |
| Jester45 | google might now :) | 02:29 |
| Jester45 | know | 02:29 |
| ShoeUnited | I might just tear apart the xubuntu artwork deb and see how its constructed. | 02:29 |
| Jester45 | seems like a lot of work | 02:29 |
| somerville32 | Not really | 02:30 |
| Jester45 | you could just replace files after you find them | 02:30 |
| drx0drx | anyone know how to change the text mode display driver? is there a way to load a driver from a CD? | 02:30 |
| ShoeUnited | I was thinking it might be easier to read where the deb is sending the files and what instructions it was using to add it to the UI S than to hen peck and maybe miss some needed coding. | 02:31 |
| Jester45 | use synaptic it tells you all the places files were installed | 02:32 |

| mark488 | hi, i'm trying to burn a cd iso to disc. xfburn "finishes" without writing, and says "Usecdrecord dev=help | 02:33 |
| mark488 | to get a list of possible SCSI transport specifiers." ? My drive is atapi. Sys's response to the cdrecord dev=help command includes: cdrecord: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.17-10-generic | 02:33 |
| mark488 | cdrecord: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer. | 02:33 |
| mark488 | cdrecord: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris. | 02:33 |
| mark488 | does xubuntu come with cd burning s/w supported by 2.6? | 02:34 |
| Jester45 | yes | 02:35 |
| Jester45 | try growiso fs -typeofdisc -Z /dev/path /files/to/burn | 02:36 |
| Jester45 | should be something close to that | 02:36 |
| Jester45 | you might need to add somthing after the /dev/path to tel growisofs that the file is iso and to burn it as one | 02:36 |
| mark488 | interesting... thanks | 02:37 |
| mark488 | any idea why xfburn was pointing me toward scsi options? | 02:37 |
| Jester45 | i dont know why | 02:38 |
| Jester45 | i removed xfburn right away | 02:38 |
| mark488 | funny. i was about to ask why it was included if it's not compatible with this version of the kernel. | 02:39 |

| marshcast | hey there, yon x users... i have a q... | 04:01 |
| marshcast | I've been trying to make this machine so people can't play with the panel etc... and in order to do it have changed the permissions of the folder ~/.config/xfce4/panel... | 04:02 |
| somerville32 | There is a kios mode | 04:03 |
| Prisoner_ | it's pushing the RAM pretty hard and I ahve 384MB on this thing | 04:03 |
| marshcast | and now I only have default icons (Apps & firefox) and can't make any or modify my panel | 04:03 |
| somerville32 | Prisoner_, Xfce4 or Kde? | 04:03 |
| marshcast | somerville32, yeah - so i see (now :/) | 04:04 |
| Prisoner_ | KDE | 04:04 |
| marshcast | my prob is geting something on the panel now - if I log out then I lose any alterations | 04:04 |
| marshcast | --- I have changed the permissions back - but tno joy | 04:04 |
| marshcast | :( | 04:04 |
| marshcast | any sugestions? (greatly, greatly appreciated, mind..) | 04:05 |
| Prisoner_ | I changed over from gnome just to try KDE | 04:05 |
| somerville32 | Is "Save session" or w/e checked off when you sign out? | 04:05 |
| somerville32 | Prisoner_, Xfce4 is a lot lighter memory wise | 04:05 |

| somerville32 | Then it should work :) | 04:06 |
| somerville32 | But it doesn't? | 04:06 |

| Grey_Loki | is it possible to install Compiz to Xubuntu? | 12:39 |
| Grey_Loki | I've seen guides that show you how to install it from Gnome and KDE, but Xubuntu uses XFCE, right? | 12:39 |
| Grey_Loki | !compiz | 12:39 |
| ubotu | Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - Help in #ubuntu-xgl - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems | 12:39 |

| Grey_Loki | Hmm | 12:45 |
| Grey_Loki | So if i'm reading this right, to install Compiz, I would first need to install and configure Xgl and Gnome | 12:45 |
| Grey_Loki | Before finally getting around to installing Compiz? | 12:45 |
| tonyyarusso | Xgl or aiglx, one of the two. Shouldn't need Gnome I imagine. | 12:46 |
| === tonyyarusso doesn't know much about it though | ||
| Grey_Loki | Aiglx seems to be preferable, actually - seems that Xgl runs slowly on Intel chipsets | 12:47 |
| Grey_Loki | Well, it looks like Compiz takes either elements of gnome or elements of KDE to make stuff 'go'. | 12:47 |
| === Grey_Loki ponders | ||
| Grey_Loki | This laptop isn't particularly well-spec'ed, anyways. Think I might wait and try it out on my desktop instead. | 12:48 |

| PuMpErNiCkLe | That would change the ownership of everything in /win to the "test" user, and it wouldn't affect the targets of any symlinks in /win, only the symlinks themselves. | 01:42 |
| Powha | What is an symlink? | 01:42 |

| Powha | hmm well I have formated it to vfat. | 01:48 |
| Powha | If I enter the disk and type "sudo chown -hR test ." I get Operation not permitted | 01:51 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | FAT doesn't use file permissions. You may be hitting a limitation of the fs, there. | 01:55 |
| Powha | Ok which format shall I format the disk in? | 01:56 |

| Powha | nope windows is gone | 01:59 |

| ZellSF | TheSheep: then what is automatically mounting stuff for me? | 05:03 |
| ZellSF | (talking about usb disk btw) | 05:03 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: no idea, try 'ps x' in a terminal and see | 05:03 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: if you have gnome-device-manager running, then that's the culprit | 05:03 |
| ZellSF | gnome-device-manager isn't even installed, so I doubt I've got it running | 05:04 |

| ZellSF | hmm | 05:08 |
| ZellSF | what kinds of communication? | 05:08 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: for example, Thunar will run a new, separate process for each new window | 05:08 |
| ZellSF | hmm, damn | 05:08 |
| ZellSF | anyone else has a clue how to get Thunar to stop automounting stuff? | 05:09 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: it doesn't mount my mp3 player :/ | 05:10 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: at least until I double-click the icon | 05:10 |
| ZellSF | it mounts my usb disk | 05:10 |
| TheSheep | hmm... | 05:10 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: have you looked at 'ps x'? no suspicious daemons? :) | 05:11 |
| ZellSF | None | 05:11 |
| TheSheep | then I'd bet on udev rules | 05:11 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: do you have that disk in yuor fstab? | 05:12 |
| ZellSF | Yes, but it's not being mounted with the fstab options, which is my problem | 05:12 |
| ZellSF | and I've no clue what udev rules are, nor how to modify them | 05:13 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: maybe add 'noauto' and see if it's still mounted? | 05:13 |
| ZellSF | it's set to noauto | 05:13 |
| ZellSF | /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk vfat user,noauto,rw 0 0 | 05:13 |
| TheSheep | I'm almost sure that Thunar would use pmount for mounting, and pmount would use the options from fstab | 05:14 |
| ZellSF | annoyingly enough, the desktop shortcut doesn't disappear even when I unmount the drive | 05:14 |
| ZellSF | maybe it's not Thunar then, but something is automounting my drives and I didn't set anything to :/ | 05:15 |
| ZellSF | I want to change the name of the desktop shortcut to something else and allow users to umount the device, Neither which I'm allowed to do | 05:16 |

| pjgat09 | yes, i have | 07:20 |

| TheSheep | pjgat09: type 'ps x' | 07:48 |
| pjgat09 | ok | 07:48 |
| TheSheep | pjgat09: and find something related to generating a dictionary | 07:48 |
| pjgat09 | i think the list went off the screen at the top, can i scroll? | 07:49 |
| TheSheep | shift+pgup | 07:49 |
| pjgat09 | i dont see anything about generating a dictionary | 07:50 |
| TheSheep | pjgat09: any command with 'sh' in front? | 07:50 |
| pjgat09 | theres 4 that i see in /bin/sh | 07:51 |
| pjgat09 | and one that is just -sh | 07:51 |
| TheSheep | I don't remember the exact name of the process that generated that dictionary :/ | 07:52 |
| pjgat09 | "/bin/sh /sbin/debian-installer" "-sh" "/bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/partman-base.postinst.conf" "/bin/sh /bin/partman" "/bin/sh /lib/partman/commit.d/50format_ext3" | 07:54 |
| pjgat09 | those are the 5 i see with sh | 07:54 |
| TheSheep | pjgat09: ah, then it's not that bug | 07:55 |
| pjgat09 | in F4 i see a long list of the same error: "hdf: lost interrupt" | 07:55 |
| TheSheep | pjgat09: it's just formatting your partition | 07:55 |
| TheSheep | :/ | 07:55 |
| TheSheep | looks like a hardware problem | 07:55 |
| pjgat09 | it worked just fine about 2 days ago... | 07:55 |
| grazie | looks like a dodgy hd...on way out maybe...how old? | 07:56 |
| pjgat09 | very | 07:57 |
| pjgat09 | its 4gb, remember | 07:57 |
| pjgat09 | i might have hit a loose connector when i installed the NIC | 07:57 |
| pjgat09 | that happened with the main IDE BUS, the connector came out enough to not boot the HDDs | 07:58 |
| pjgat09 | (quick fix of course) | 07:58 |
| grazie | from your others problem, I'd say the disk is dying, but I can't be sure | 07:58 |
| pjgat09 | i think ill open the case later and double check all the connectors | 07:59 |
| pjgat09 | but there is no point in trying now, i have to leave in ~30 min | 07:59 |
| grazie | you were probably ok with gentoo as it's small. with xubuntu you could be hitting a bad sector or a themal problem | 08:01 |
| pjgat09 | knoppix has actually been most successful | 08:02 |
| pjgat09 | it connects, i can ping it, but i can't pull up any websites | 08:02 |
| grazie | you installed to the hd? | 08:02 |
| pjgat09 | no, live cd | 08:02 |
| grazie | ah yes | 08:02 |
| pjgat09 | can it be installed to the HDD? | 08:03 |
| grazie | yes | 08:03 |
| pjgat09 | thats what i figured | 08:03 |
| pjgat09 | if i could get it to connect to the internet, i would do that | 08:03 |
| grazie | don't understand? | 08:04 |
| pjgat09 | if i could get knoppix to be able to pull up websites, i would install it to the HDD and use that as my linux distro | 08:04 |
| grazie | knoppix could pull up websites, but networking was good? Still don't understand? | 08:05 |
| grazie | s/could/couldn't/ | 08:06 |
| pjgat09 | ohh sorry | 08:06 |
| pjgat09 | knoppix connects to my local network fine (i can ping it from my laptop), but i can't get it to connect to the internet | 08:06 |
| grazie | v.strange. however, knoppix may be a little slow (with kde) on that machine | 08:07 |
| pjgat09 | actually it was very fast, even running off the livecd | 08:07 |
| pjgat09 | booted faster than ubuntu, xubuntu, or gentoo | 08:08 |
| grazie | there can't be much up. | 08:09 |
| pjgat09 | ill try messing with it again later, maybe i can figure out why it doesnt connect to the internet | 08:10 |
| pjgat09 | maybe its something in my router's settings | 08:10 |
| pjgat09 | also, does knoppix come with a firewall that would block that? | 08:10 |
| === alnoktaalt [n=alnokta@unaffiliated/alnokta] has joined #xubuntu | ||

| TheSheep | there are rather no virii for Linux in the wild | 11:06 |
| ZellSF | and which arguments to use with it | 11:06 |
| ZellSF | No, but I'm not talking about using the virus scanner for virus scanning | 11:06 |
| ZellSF | but launching a custom command | 11:06 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: ah, you can just associate any program with an extension or mime type | 11:06 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: in firefox | 11:06 |
| rizzo | damn it. xubuntu alternative install completed, but now it seems to hang on boot | 11:07 |
| ZellSF | yeah, but doing that for all filetypes + trying to figure out how to do argument = probably not the best way. | 11:07 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: preferences, content, file types, manage... | 11:07 |
| TheSheep | ZellSF: you can just put * in there | 11:07 |
