| adrian | Excuse me accident: How do I find it I can't see it in the channel list | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| CarlFK | shenjing: but not the "printer name" list | 00:00 |
| chris85 | Can anyone help me create a new partition on my hard drive? (Running Gutsy) | 00:00 |
| bulmer | kartika78-> you can ping the gateway? | 00:00 |
| darren | I'm trying to get nzb working in ubuntu. When I try and connect over an SSL connection I get the error "SSLFilter: unable to load unix openssl" does anyone know how I might fix this? | 00:00 |
| shenjing | open up | 00:00 |
| jburd | twoshadetod: What do you wish to do with the IMG file? | 00:00 |
| bulmer | kartika78-> you can ping the gateway 192.168.1.254 ? | 00:00 |
| j85wilson | adrian: fair enough, Caps lock got stuck, eh? no worries. | 00:00 |
| shenjing | CarlFK: open admin -> printing | 00:00 |
| kartika78 | bulmer-> no... | 00:00 |
| jburd | twoshadetod: If you're trying to burn it to a disc, you can easily use a burner application like k3b. | 00:00 |
| shenjing | CarlFK: do you see your printer there? | 00:00 |
| CarlFK | shenjing: yes | 00:00 |
| astro76 | !fsck | phillywhitetrash | 00:00 |
| ubotu | phillywhitetrash: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 00:01 |
| shenjing | CarlFK: right click and use default printer | 00:01 |
| twoshadetod | jburd, yeah but it doens't have an option to burn .img only .iso i renamed it and am trying it that way | 00:01 |
| bulmer | kartika78-> so i dont think you're using of static ip address is working, why not work with dhcp specially you're machine is a client? | 00:01 |
| kitche | jburd: k3b doesn't support .img file types | 00:01 |
| shenjing | CarlFK: then try printing again | 00:01 |
| astro76 | phillywhitetrash, you can also sudo touch /forcefsck, then reboot anyway you choose | 00:01 |
| jburd | In that case you use img2iso. twoshadetod: Renaming doesn't solve your problem. | 00:01 |
| j85wilson | Anyone other than me able to give Magdin some help with a really really odd sound problem? | 00:01 |
| phillywhitetrash | astro76: i tryed fsck but it warned me about checking mounted filesysyens | 00:02 |
| j85wilson | I tried but failed to help him. | 00:02 |
| shenjing | CarlFK: what program are you printing from? | 00:02 |
| CarlFK | shenjing: in gimp print dialog, what do I set "Printer Name" to? | 00:02 |
| j85wilson | check the backlog for details. | 00:02 |
| twoshadetod | jburd, is that in repos or does it have to be compiled? | 00:02 |
| CarlFK | shenjing: gimp | 00:02 |
| adrian | <j85wilson>: so is there a dedicated linux mce channel? | 00:02 |
| Fryguy-- | I need to convert my evms-created raid5 array to something else since evms doesn't work correctly with gutsy. Can anyone point me to some resources on how to do this? | 00:02 |
| kartika78 | bulmer-> my static ip works well on all machines i have at home and it worked well also on my notebook the problem is this damn update | 00:02 |
| j85wilson | adrian: I'm googling | 00:02 |
| astro76 | phillywhitetrash, as ubotu mentioned, sudo shutdown -F -r will force an fsck during boot up, before the filesystems are mounted | 00:02 |
| jburd | twoshadetod: It's not in the repository. | 00:03 |
| junkbox | i install ubuntu desktop. I am having problems with totem and vlc. when i try to play a video file i heard the sound fine, but the picture is just a bunch of vertical lines. any one have any suggestions for resolving this issue? | 00:03 |
| astro76 | twoshadetod, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion | 00:03 |
| twoshadetod | jburd, ahh looks like gnome toaster can do that out of the box | 00:03 |
| shenjing | CarlFK: the print dialog should be a dropdown list right? | 00:03 |
| bulmer | kartika78-> if you cant even ping the most immediate gateway, its either you have a bad cable or bad connection to the gateway | 00:03 |
| jburd | twoshadetod: Good for you. :-) | 00:03 |
| bluefox83 | junkbox, gutsy of feisty? | 00:03 |
| bluefox83 | *or | 00:03 |
| phillywhitetrash | ok, got the -F -r , touch /forcefsck do? | 00:03 |
| twoshadetod | jburd, not that im opposed to learning and reading manuals, but at this point i kinda just wanna watch the friggin movie lol | 00:04 |
| jburd | twoshadetod: Just remember to use checkinstall whenever you install something from source. | 00:04 |
| CarlFK | shenjing: I think I found what I need: "Printer Queue" lets me pick the new printer | 00:04 |
| j85wilson | adrian: I don't find any from google, but you might have better luck than me. They do have support forums (which are slower than irc, of course) at http://forum.linuxmce.org/ | 00:04 |
| astro76 | phillywhitetrash, with shutdown -F you don't have to touch /forcefsck, it does it | 00:04 |
| shenjing | CarlFK: sry bout that | 00:04 |
| shenjing | CarlFK: new idea | 00:04 |
| geirha | twoshadetod: mplayer -dvd-device the-image.img dvd:// | 00:04 |
| jburd | twoshadetod: You don't need to burn it to a disc to watch a movie on it. Convert it to an ISO file and then mount the ISO file as a volume. :-) | 00:04 |
| CarlFK | shenjing: yeah, it's working now | 00:04 |
| kartika78 | bulmer-> is it possible that doesn't exist a command to analyze my connection and find the bug | 00:04 |
| shenjing | CarlFK: ok | 00:04 |
| shenjing | CarlFK: cool | 00:04 |
| CarlFK | shenjing: thanks | 00:04 |
| jburd | Or have mplayer use it like geirha said. | 00:04 |
| j85wilson | ok, well, I gots to go wake the wife up from her nap and get dinner going. bye bye folks! | 00:04 |
| twoshadetod | jburd, yeah but i want to watch it on my dvd player/tv | 00:05 |
| jburd | Ah. | 00:05 |
| shenjing | CarlFK: your welcome | 00:05 |
| adrian | I will keep trying I am realy excited by what I am seeng in ubuntu but if I don't get a result soon I might have to revert back to windows xp, wish me luck | 00:05 |
| phillywhitetrash | thanks guys | 00:05 |
| desertc | Is there an Arabic channel for ubuntu? | 00:05 |
| astro76 | !arabic | desertc | 00:06 |
| ubotu | desertc: For the Arabic language or Saudi Arabia you are invited to join للغة العربية رجاء انظم #ubuntu-sa | 00:06 |
| desertc | astro76: No one is in that room | 00:06 |
| jcsredwards | how do i burn movies on cd that are divx and avi format? | 00:06 |
| bulmer | kartika78-> ping is the easiest tool to use for testing connectivity...anyhow why are you reluctant to use dhcp ? your AP is providing it | 00:06 |
| phillywhitetrash | does the -F mean force or filesys check? | 00:06 |
| phillywhitetrash | fsck | 00:07 |
| * bluefox83 has slept with 2 out of the 8 people he's met online... | 00:07 | |

| PriceChild | !offtopic | bluefox83 | 00:07 |
| ubotu | bluefox83: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 00:07 |
| Shpook | Hello everyone. More questions. I'm laying down the money for a PVR(MythTV of course) but in everyone's opinion, should i use my existing AMD Athlon 3200, or go with a Core2Duo? | 00:07 |
| bulmer | juan-> whats the permission of the directory? | 00:07 |
| bluefox83 | i totally said that in the wrong channel...soooorry >.> | 00:07 |
| kartika78 | bulmer->i like to have my ips well identified on my network | 00:07 |
| kylequamme | can anyone tell me how i would change a permission of rwx to rws? | 00:07 |
| desertc | astro76: Everyone thought I typo'd | 00:07 |
| kitche | juan: the group might not have read or write permissions to the files depending on what your trying to do | 00:07 |
| toplok | Hi, I am using Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 7.10 and I try to open a pls file, but Rhythmbox says a pluggin is missing. This worked fine with ubuntu 7.04. Help! :-) | 00:07 |
| bulmer | kartika78-> just for testing? you would not even try it? | 00:08 |
| juan | drwxrwx--- Not-Juan users wkw8puen.default | 00:08 |
| j85wilson | juan, you may have to log out and back in. | 00:08 |
| kylequamme | anyone know how i would change owner permissions to rws instead of rwx? i am working with exim | 00:09 |
| kylequamme | and i am having problems with the spool directory | 00:09 |
| juan | erm is it ok to have a folder but no read on the folders above it? | 00:09 |
| j85wilson | kylequamme: chmod o+t ? | 00:09 |
| j85wilson | or something | 00:09 |
| chris85 | Hello, is it possible to create a new partition after ubuntu is already installed? | 00:09 |
| Yarcanox | is there a good video editing program out there? | 00:10 |
| j85wilson | perhaps chmod o+s | 00:10 |
| kkathman | chris85, yes of course | 00:10 |
| Yarcanox | or at least any video editing program for linux | 00:10 |
| Yarcanox | I need one | 00:10 |
| j85wilson | bye bye again | 00:10 |
| kylequamme | ty | 00:10 |
| kkathman | chris85, check out gparted | 00:10 |
| logon | can someone help me install wine so I can usre the apps/drivers on my windows partition? | 00:10 |
| Ademan | chris85: through gparted yes, but i'm fairly certain you can't do it while you're using any of the partitions you'd modify, and even if you could, it's a bad idea, use the GParted liveCD | 00:10 |
| junkbox | running gutsy | 00:11 |
| juan | erm is it ok to have a folder but no read on the folders above it? | 00:11 |
| Ward1983 | logon, sudo apt-get install wine | 00:11 |
| Ward1983 | lol | 00:11 |
| chris85 | kkathwan and others: I am running Gutsy only. I have to put Windows on. Gparted is the way to go? There is lots of help out there for going from windows to Ubuntu. | 00:11 |
| kylequamme | chmod o+s didn't work | 00:11 |
| bulmer | juan i dont think it would work | 00:11 |
| Creed | Is there a way to attach to an already running gnome session using XDMCP? | 00:11 |
| logon | ward: did that want to configure it to use the apps/drivers on the c:\ drive | 00:11 |
| Ward1983 | !tab | logon | 00:12 |
| ubotu | logon: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 00:12 |
| kylequamme | chris85: it is difficult to install windows after linux but not impossible | 00:12 |
| Ademan | chris85: putting windows on your computer AFTER ubuntu is a recipie for a pain in the ass because windows overwrites GRUB, you'd have to restore it via a liveCD in order to continue using both windows and Ubuntu | 00:12 |
| Ademan | chris85: i've done it before, but needless to say, it sucked | 00:12 |
| Fryguy-- | is it possible to downgrade from gutsy to feisty? | 00:12 |
| Ward1983 | logon, i don't know anything about that, sorry, don't know if its possible | 00:12 |
| c0mp13371331337_ | Can anyone tell me how to downgrade the radeon driver? I'm using Gutsy and I'd like to use the radeon driver from feisty. | 00:12 |
| logon | <--- have windows already installed on another partition | 00:12 |
| logon | <--- have windows already installed on another partition | 00:12 |
| toplok | someone using Rhythmbox for online radios ? :) | 00:13 |
| chris85 | kylequamme and Ademan: so would it be easier to start over with windows, then follow the instructions when installing Ubuntu for dual boot? | 00:13 |
| Ward1983 | toplok, xmms works great here for onlien radio | 00:13 |
| Ademan | toplok: i'm using rhythmbox, but not for radio, but i do the sharing thing | 00:13 |
| logon | can someone help me install wine so I can usre the apps/drivers on my windows partition that is alread installed? | 00:13 |
| kylequamme | toplok: open up the pls file with a text editor and manually extract the html location | 00:13 |
| kylequamme | toplok: that is what i do | 00:13 |
| jburd | logon: Open a terminal and type sudo aptitude install wine | 00:14 |
| Ademan | chris85: pretty much, if you installed windows first and left room for an ubuntu partition, you should be able to just install ubuntu and it will detect the existing windows partition and let you choose between the two at boot time | 00:14 |
| logon | jburd: please read my post,... done! | 00:14 |
| Ward1983 | jburd, he wants to confige wine to use all the installed progs on his windows partition | 00:14 |
| toplok | kylequamme, thats what I have done, but it says it requires a plugin. This worked fine on 7.04 | 00:14 |
| Ward1983 | configure i mean | 00:14 |
| logon | ward: thanks thats it exactly | 00:14 |
| chris85 | Ademan: i'm having a hard time putting windows on. Grub won't run the install disk. (Well, that is what I can gather from googling it all night.) | 00:14 |
| kylequamme | toplok: it requires a plugin to open any stream? | 00:15 |
| Ademan | chris85: well you should be running the install disk BEFORE it gets to GRUB | 00:15 |
| jburd | Ward1983: Ah, well that's not going to be possible unless he can find out a way to import the registry on that partition :-) | 00:15 |
| Ademan | chris85: should be a bios setting | 00:15 |
| chris85 | Ademan: I enter bios and hit "Run from disk drive" and grub starts up | 00:15 |
| logon | jburd: Isnt that supported by wine? | 00:15 |
| Ademan | chris85: every bios is different, but at least for me, when i boot up i can hit f2 and choose to boot from the cd drive | 00:15 |
| Ward1983 | jburd, that's what i thought | 00:15 |
| Ademan | chris85: hrm, that sounds right... | 00:16 |
| c0mp13371331337_ | Anyone know how to downgrade the radeon driver? | 00:16 |
| Ademan | chris85: you sure you're selecting the correct drive? (like maybe by disk drive it means your hard drive rather than your CD or DVD drive?) | 00:16 |
| toplok | kylequamme, it opens ogg, but no http://80.84.114.2:8010 | 00:16 |
| logon | OK: how do I make my ubuntu wine, as close to the windows system that is on my machine as possable??? | 00:16 |
| jburd | logon: It isn't impossible as such but it's largely useless. You don't want a corrupt Windows registry. | 00:16 |
| chris85 | Ademan: could be. I'll give it another try. But grub isn't the defualt now for any OS? | 00:16 |
| geirha | logon: with winecfg you could probably change c: to be your windows' c: instead of ~/.wine/drive_c. though not all windows programs runs well with wine | 00:16 |
| Ademan | chris85: after you install windows you'll lose grub and you'll have to reinstall it via the liveCD (or just reinstall ubuntu but i figure you won't want to do that) | 00:17 |
| Ward1983 | logon, install all apps again in wine | 00:17 |
| kylequamme | toplok: that is an mp3 issue | 00:17 |
| geirha | logon: it's probably easier to just make a virtual machine running windows, or possibly reactos | 00:17 |
| elis | alguna venezolana | 00:17 |
| Ademan | chris85: i'd definitely google reinstalling grub beforehand, it's not terribly easy (it's not hard once you know how, but the first time is pretty hard) | 00:18 |
| junkbox | any one have any tips fof getting the videos to play ? | 00:18 |
| kylequamme | toplok: u need to download an mp3 decoder plugin, because i'm assuming you are listening to an mp3 stream | 00:18 |
| JediMaster | hmmmm, this laptop appears to go into sleep mode every time anacron runs (at least it happens 2 seconds after it's logged in the syslog every time), and it happens even when typing | 00:18 |
| logon | ward: but I want to have visability on both ports | 00:18 |
| chris85 | Ademan: what I want to do is leave my computer like it is with the brand new Gutsy, but LabView (National instruments software) only works in windows, osx and rpm based linux, so.... | 00:18 |
| toplok | kylequamme, where to get it from ? this worked ok in 7.04 :( | 00:18 |
| Ademan | toplok: by the way, that station plays fine for me in rhythmbox | 00:18 |
| Nexus | Any ubuntu masters in here? | 00:18 |
| Ademan | !ask | Nexus | 00:18 |
| kylequamme | chris85: you can convert rpms to debs | 00:18 |
| ubotu | Nexus: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 00:18 |
| c0mp13371331337_ | No one knows how to downgrade the radeon driver version to the one from Feisty? | 00:18 |
| toplok | Ademan, are you using 7.10 ? | 00:19 |
| Ademan | toplok: yep | 00:19 |
| jrib | c0mp13371331337_: why? | 00:19 |
| Nexus | I can't get my dial up connection to work | 00:19 |
| chris85 | i tried for days, but I'm willing to try again if you have suggestions | 00:19 |
| Ademan | !alien | 00:19 |
| ubotu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 00:19 |
| kylequamme | toplok: use ubuntuguide to show you how to enable all of the extra repositories, then follow their instructions to install mp3 support | 00:19 |
| jrib | Nexus: have you taken a look at the wiki page? | 00:19 |
| Nexus | no i haven't | 00:19 |
| Ademan | toplok: do you have all of the gstreamer packages installed? | 00:20 |
| chris85 | yeah, it didn't care for that at all | 00:20 |
| c0mp13371331337_ | jrib: Because dual monitors with xrandr is terrible, and I'd like to go back to having MergedFB support, which was much more solid. | 00:20 |
| jrib | !dialup > Nexus (read the private message from ubotu) | 00:20 |
| kylequamme | chris85: do they offer a source version? | 00:20 |
| chris85 | kylequamme: I don't think so. They are pretty protective and pretty unhelpful | 00:20 |
| === ward_ is now known as Ward1983_ | ||

| Ademan | kylequamme: http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/2541 | 00:21 |
| jburd | chris85: Have you tried using alien? | 00:21 |
| jrib | c0mp13371331337_: you could try rebuilding the package I suppose, but your first course of action should be checking for bugs on bugs.ubuntu.com and filing them if they do not exist fet | 00:21 |
| junkbox | i install ubuntu desktop. I am having problems with totem and vlc. when i try to play a video file i heard the sound fine, but the picture is just a bunch of vertical lines. any one have any suggestions for resolving this issue? | 00:21 |

| logon | ok, how do I configure wine to use my windows c: "/media/windows" instead of ~/...??? | 00:23 |
| chris85 | Ademan: what were you trying to say with that link? | 00:23 |
| Yarcanox | hi. I found a package source: deb http://www.kiberpipa.org/~gandalf/ubuntu/feisty/cinelerra/i686/ ./ | 00:23 |
| PriceChild | logon, really not reccomended | 00:23 |
| Yarcanox | now I tried to type this command into a shell, but it says "command unknown: deb" | 00:23 |
| Ademan | chris85: i just thought that was the site for the software, and maybe it would have information that would help kylequamme | 00:23 |
| Yarcanox | how do I install this program now? | 00:23 |
| JediMaster | jrib: already have asked it several times, and this isntall of ubuntu is completely unusable like this =(... I'll ask again.. | 00:23 |
| b1n42y | has anyone installed steam.. if so after steam update do the windows close themselves, say they are finished or is it a matter of closing the terminal etc | 00:23 |
| PurpZeY | logon: I believe the idea is to install the program into wine | 00:23 |
| logon | ok, how do I configure wine to use my windows c: "/media/windows" instead of ~/...??? (I know its not recommended) | 00:24 |
| Ademan | Yarcanox: what software? | 00:24 |
| chris85 | jburd: I tried, but I'm a newbie by far and had a lot of trouble | 00:24 |
| JediMaster | hey guys, got a weird one, just setting up gutsy on a friend's laptop, and with all the powersaving timeouts disabled in the BIOS it appears to send the laptop to sleep (while plugged into mains) after 1 minute, despite keyboard and mouse activity, any ideas? | 00:24 |
| Yarcanox | ademan this is cinelerra | 00:24 |
| kylequamme | they don't give a lot of info | 00:24 |
| chris85 | Ademan: ok, gotcha | 00:24 |
| Yarcanox | my distribution is feisty fawn | 00:24 |
| c0mp13371331337_ | jrib: Wouldn't that just download the source of the current version? | 00:24 |
| johndbritton | anyone have a link to a netinstall guide for ubuntu server? | 00:24 |
| Ademan | Yarcanox: sudo apt-get install cinelerra? | 00:24 |
| astro76 | logon, try asking in #winehq | 00:24 |
| jrib | !dialup | Nexus | 00:24 |
| ubotu | Nexus: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 00:24 |
| Yarcanox | no, there's no package for it | 00:24 |

| codename | everytime i press ctrl alt backspace it goes to a black screen | 00:24 |
| Ademan | logon: should be in winecfg | 00:24 |
| Yarcanox | "deb" doesn't exist | 00:24 |
| jrib | codename: try to keep what you say on a single line, or else the channel becomes too busy | 00:24 |
| chris85 | I'm at a university, I have the linux install. All .rpm | 00:24 |
| kylequamme | yea, probably less painless to back up your home directory, install windows then install ubuntu and restore your home directory | 00:24 |
| logon | join #winehq | 00:24 |
| Ademan | Yarcanox: OH, that goes in your /etc/apt/sources.list file | 00:24 |

| logon | ok, how do I goto #winehq??? | 00:25 |
| Yarcanox | that's what I wanted to know :) | 00:25 |
| PurpZeY | codename: That's what it is supposed to do | 00:25 |
| codename | thanks! | 00:25 |
| astro76 | logon, /join #winehq | 00:25 |
| codename | secondly | 00:25 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: every 1-2 minutes ALL the time, during normal use of the machine | 00:25 |
| codename | how do i get my cube to work with Compiz? | 00:25 |
| jrib | c0mp13371331337_: you would grab the feisty source from packages.ubuntu.com or instead temporarily make your deb-src repos point to feisty | 00:25 |
| codename | or in desktop effects | 00:25 |
| Ademan | Yarcanox: :-) note you'll need to either run sudo apt-get update, or hit the refresh button in synaptic for the cinelerra package to appear after you've added that to your /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:25 |
| chris85 | kylequamme and Ademan, thanks. I'll try the bios. I might be back though. | 00:25 |
| boontoo | someone passworded a .sh file thats in a rar file whats a good program to crack it on ubuntu | 00:25 |
| Ademan | good luck chris85 | 00:25 |
| c0mp13371331337_ | jrib: Excellent, thank you my friend! | 00:25 |
| bobgill | I'm about to burn a backup of my /home/user folder to a DVD-RW... should I just copy the folder itself as is and burn it or make a tar ??? | 00:26 |
| logreeval | Hi, CUPS doesn't see my network shared printer in gutsy, any ideas? | 00:26 |
| jrib | c0mp13371331337_: be sure you know how to repair X though, no idea if you will have issues or not | 00:26 |
| * PurpZeY wonders why anyone would password a script | 00:26 | |
| Ademan | !printer | 00:26 |
| ubotu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 00:26 |
| Ademan | best i can do for you logreeval, :-/ | 00:26 |
| boontoo | !cracking | 00:26 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cracking - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:26 |
| Ademan | there are probably smarter people around here though | 00:26 |
| boontoo | !rar | 00:26 |
| ubotu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 00:26 |
| logreeval | thanks Ademan | 00:27 |
| Ademan | boontoo: what file is it anyways? | 00:27 |
| c0mp13371331337_ | jrib: Ah yes, I've spent many hours working with xorg.conf. Her and I are quite close by now. ;-) | 00:27 |
| FluxD | lol | 00:27 |
| boontoo | Ademan: install-crossover-pro-6.0.1.sh | 00:27 |
| Ademan | c0mp13371331337_: she's a dirty whore, stay far away! lol | 00:27 |
| minus | Is it because of the 1.2 update the answer why I cant log in to Enemy Territory: Quake Wars in linux. Cause of the Linuxupdate not being release yet? Maybe the wrong place to ask it, but the more places the quicker the answer :D | 00:27 |
| GuHHH | i have apache2 chrooted and i want to make it run phpldapadmin, what do i need to do besides move phpldapadmin to inside the chroot? | 00:27 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: any ideas? this happens when the power is plugged into the mains | 00:27 |
| Ademan | GuHHH: couldn't you symlink to it? | 00:28 |
| jrib | boontoo: http://www.codeweavers.com/support/docs/crossover-pro piracy talk is *not* welcomed here | 00:28 |
| PurpZeY | JediMaster: And you say it will come back up if you move the mouse ? | 00:28 |
| Ademan | boontoo: besides, WINE is essentially the same as crossover, crossover is built on wine | 00:28 |
| boontoo | selling programs for linux... - o - | 00:28 |
| codename | how do i get the cube to work on 7.10 compiz | 00:28 |
| Ademan | boontoo: the crossover people use part of that money to pay people to work on wine | 00:29 |
| boontoo | part lol | 00:29 |
| PurpZeY | codename: Install ccsm and turn on cube | 00:29 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: no have to use the keys | 00:29 |
| boontoo | and thats just saying that so people buy their progrma | 00:29 |
| Ademan | boontoo: well, it IS a business you know... | 00:29 |
| johndbritton | ive got debian installed on a machine without a cdrom drive, how could i go about installing ubuntu on it without a cdrom | 00:29 |
| aguitel | anyone know how make nautilus function like konkeror ? | 00:29 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: no I take it back, mouse works =) | 00:29 |
| boontoo | Ademan: yeh fair enough hehe | 00:29 |
| PurpZeY | JediMaster: ok, but it is not turning off, it is just screen saver? | 00:29 |
| Ademan | aguitel: how so? the cluttered interface? or the lag? | 00:29 |
| Ademan | aguitel: just kidding though lol | 00:29 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: it's doing this at the console, and the laptop's hard drive and fans power down | 00:30 |
| jrib | codename: system -> preferences -> appearance -> effects and install compizconfig-settings-manager if you want more control on the effects | 00:30 |
| Ademan | aguitel: if you want konqueror though i suggest you install konqueror... | 00:30 |
| codename | so sudo apt-get install ccsm> | 00:30 |
| PurpZeY | JediMaster: console as in, not in gnome? | 00:30 |
| aguitel | Ademan: ,i like to open the terminal in any directory | 00:30 |
| bobgill | I'm about to burn a backup of my /home/user folder to a DVD-RW... should I just copy the folder itself as is and burn it or make a tar ??? | 00:30 |
| Ademan | aguitel: oh, there's a package for that, i have that installed one sec | 00:30 |
| PurpZeY | codename: I believe so, I'm not sure the name of the package, but that'd be the idea | 00:30 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: in and out of X | 00:30 |
| aguitel | Ademan: thanks | 00:30 |
| Ademan | aguitel: nautilus-open-terminal | 00:31 |
| PurpZeY | JediMaster: Have you checked the forums for specific model of laptop? And have you installed the acpis for it? | 00:31 |
| aguitel | Ademan: sudo apt-get ..... ? | 00:31 |
| Ademan | aguitel: there are several packages that extend nautilus' functionality that way, they all start with nautilus- so, you know, might take a look around there | 00:31 |
| Ademan | aguitel: yes, sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal | 00:31 |
| aguitel | Ademan: thanksssss | 00:31 |
| Ademan | no problem | 00:31 |
| squeaky | evolution question - sending emails forces a word-wrap at 72 characters, so it looks terrible on a recipients computer especially widescreen. Any way to get around that limit? | 00:32 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: not found anything about it, it's a fairly old machine, and not installed anything other than the default gutsy | 00:32 |
| jrib | Yarcanox: there are pitivi and kino as well | 00:32 |
| Macros42 | hey all - I have a problem with my dvd drive since I upgraded to gutsy - the activity light stays on, can't eject it and it won't mount. The drive is fine - tested a bootable cd - but in the os I can't use it - any ideas? | 00:32 |
| PurpZeY | JediMaster: What is the model? | 00:32 |
| drew | codename, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 00:32 |
| toplok | do someone remember how to change the background color in gedit ? (my bad memory...) :) | 00:33 |
| drew | codename, make sure to get python-compizconfig as well | 00:33 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: I can't actually see, it's a 6+ year old Advent laptop, the model number is too worn to read | 00:33 |
| PurpZeY | JediMaster: What are the specs? | 00:34 |
| PurpZeY | JediMaster: 6+ years old, maybe gutsy not the right choice. | 00:34 |
| PurpZeY | JediMaster: Maybe Gutsy but Xubuntu...I mean, 6 years old, gotta be very close to absolute minimum | 00:35 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: no wait, it's a advent 6417, and it's just taken 5 hours to install gutsy so would rater get it working (it doesn't do any of the install when in sleep) | 00:35 |
| PurpZeY | JediMaster: Ok, give me a sec to see if I can't find anything out | 00:35 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: thanks very much | 00:35 |
| Caleb_ | how do I reinstall ubuntu? i don't care about the home folder | 00:35 |

| Nexus | can you ping a modem? | 00:36 |
| leafw | anyone with a thinkpad + ATI card? What's the situation with Gutsy? | 00:36 |
| PurpZeY | Caleb_: Just but the LiveCD in and reformat the whole shot. | 00:36 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: yes, it's a really crappy british make | 00:36 |
| PurpZeY | leafw: IMO, my personal, I wouldn't w/ ATI if your things work. | 00:36 |
| Caleb_ | I have vista on this computer to, i don't want to lose it | 00:36 |
| PurpZeY | JediMaster: Ok. | 00:36 |
| aguitel | Ademan: one question ,how i start it? | 00:36 |
| leafw | PurpZeY : ? | 00:36 |
| PurpZeY | Caleb_: Egh, I don't know much about dealing with vista...better ask someone who is better knowledged. | 00:37 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: btw, it may be a bit slow, but it's usable other than the power issue | 00:37 |
| PurpZeY | leafw: I have no upgraded to gutsy b/c this works and I don't get anything more from gutsy and the risk is that the install won't go right....and ATI is always touchy | 00:37 |

| Yarcanox | ubuntu does not support all the resolutions my screen provides, and very low refresh rates on the higher ones | 00:39 |
| Yarcanox | how can I fix this? | 00:39 |
| Macros42 | can anyone help with this drive problem - been driving me mad for 2 days now | 00:40 |
| Yarcanox | I read about this being a problem with NVidia cards somehow | 00:40 |
| Ademan | aguitel: you should be able to right click in a folder and there will be an option saying open directory in terminal | 00:40 |
| wirechief_ | PyroSama: see my pm | 00:40 |
| Ademan | aguitel: also sorry, i was just on my way out, sorry it took so long, and i'm gone now | 00:40 |
| Ademan | aguitel: oh yeah, you might need to restart nautilus first, but don't quote me on that | 00:40 |
| Ademan | if you do, logging out then logging back in should be enough | 00:40 |
| JediMaster | PurpZeY: =) like I said, it works, but it's just this stupid power management issue, it's like the bios was set to suspend after 1 minute, but ignores teh keyboard input | 00:41 |
| aguitel | Ademan: thanks | 00:41 |

| Yarcanox | (which hurts in the eyes) | 00:42 |
| Yarcanox | I am sure I could use higher resolutions if there would be any way to choose them | 00:42 |
| Yarcanox | but they are just not in the list... | 00:42 |
| threeseas | Yarcanox: there is a way to get it to see other resolution | 00:42 |
| PurpZeY | JediMaster: Hmmm...I am just thinking of what would case that....I mean, certainly seems like it would related to that.... | 00:42 |
| jrib | !fixres > Yarcanox (read the private message from ubotu) | 00:42 |

| spanks | is there a program that has a music store that I can preview songs - similar to itunes | 00:50 |
| Skwerl | Is there a file for the bash profile in Ubuntu? /home/me/.bash_profile doesn't exist | 00:50 |
| aguitel | jrib: i have direct access for some programs and there are icons for this programs for example ,terminal firefox ,calculator, etc | 00:51 |
| jrib | Skwerl: create it if that is really what you want | 00:52 |
| Skwerl | I'm trying to set gcc to look in more locations for header files. Can't seem to find a working method for doing so | 00:52 |
| aguitel | jrib: also ,nautilus ,network ,konversation | 00:52 |
| Skwerl | I figured .bash_profile might have it | 00:52 |

| Skwerl | gcc* isn't finding | 00:54 |
| jrib | Skwerl: you are using the headers installed from a package in the repositories? | 00:55 |

| evilrox | anyone can help me with synce? i need to sync my ipaq... | 00:57 |
| jrib | Billies: means you would need to unmount as root: sudo umount /media/sdb2 | 00:57 |
| Billies | oh, that's what I forgot, sudo | 00:58 |
| ztomic | Billies: that prolly means it was mounted in /etc/fstab | 00:58 |
| aguitel | jrib: yes but which is the root for the icons? | 00:58 |
| jrib | aguitel: the path you mean? | 00:58 |
| aguitel | jrib: yes | 00:58 |
| jrib | aguitel: it can be anywhere you want but most probably end up in /usr/share/icons/ | 00:58 |

| pkrumins | I hope you guys do not consider this as spam. I just wrote a small tutorial on readline's (library bash uses for editing command line) Emacs editing mode, and made a cheat-sheet with all the pre-defined default keyboard shortcuts in this editing mode.Here is the link to the post with examples and the download links: http://www.catonmat.net/blog/bash-emacs-editing-mode-cheat-sheet/ | 01:04 |

| Yarcanox | kk | 01:04 |
| Macros42 | darkangel_: not sure - /me is pretty much a noob :D | 01:04 |
| snkmad | Yarcanox im having the same problem as you, i wanted X to always choose the highest refresh possible | 01:04 |
| jwala | hey there, my mic works in livecd but not after install, any hint? | 01:04 |
| ztomic | Yarcanox: you're using the generic driver. | 01:04 |
| tanath | epiphany keeps crashing on me when i recover the session, but i don't want to lose it. can anyone help? | 01:05 |
| darkangel_ | Macros42 oh | 01:05 |
| hmuller | Anyone using PSAD? | 01:05 |
| Yarcanox | ztomic https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto says "More importantly if your monitor is not detectable, the Identifier will be called Generic Monitor. In which case, don't change the Identifier to anything else otherwise X will fail to load and report that it can't find the a Monitor." | 01:05 |
| Yarcanox | that's why I didn't change it | 01:06 |
| Macros42 | repost as more people arrived: I have a problem with my dvd drive since I upgraded to gutsy - the activity light stays on, can't eject it and it won't mount. The drive is fine - tested a bootable cd - but in the os I can't use it - any ideas? | 01:06 |

| ztomic | Yarcanox: you need the nv driver to get the higher refresh | 01:06 |
| Yarcanox | nvidia driver is running | 01:06 |
| jwala | hey there, my mic works in livecd but not after install, any hint? | 01:06 |
| Yarcanox | if you're talking about that | 01:06 |
| ztomic | line 86 | 01:06 |
| ztomic | nv not nvidia | 01:06 |
| jrib | tanath: backup ~/.gnome2/epiphany/session* and edit and remove what you think is causing it to crash? | 01:06 |
| Macros42 | Yarcanox: if you have the nv driver then it should have it's own section in xorg.conf | 01:06 |
| Caram | no0n, what does this have to do with ubuntu? | 01:06 |
| Yarcanox | Macros42 http://pastebin.org/6555 | 01:07 |

| ztomic | Yarcanox: check the nvidia forum | 01:07 |

| fiXXXerMet | I have a number of hard drives connected to my computer: 2 IDE (1 on each channel), and 2 on a pci-sata card. Why is it that the drive order changes? Sometimes the first PATA drive will show up as sda, and sometimes as sdc, then the first drive on the sata card will take it's place. | 01:07 |

| bobbob1016 | I'm doing a speech on Linux tomorrow, focusing on Ubuntu. I am just curious how many of you have had experience with installing on a computer with XP or Vista on it already, and if the auto-resize NTFS partitions works well. I'm also planning on having some LiveCD's with me incase anyone wants them. | 01:13 |
| MilitantPotato | ztomic: read the stuff snkmad just posted. | 01:13 |
| MilitantPotato | oops | 01:13 |
| bobbob1016 | For my public speaking class. | 01:13 |
| fiXXXerMet | What could cause my drives (both pata and sata) to change order (swapping sda/b/c/d places)? | 01:13 |
| MilitantPotato | snkmad: read those websites :) | 01:13 |
| Twiggy | I'll figure it out, thanks anyways | 01:13 |
| roy | bob i use a second hared drive and boot to ubuntu | 01:13 |
| snkmad | i did, just wanna know if its safe to delete the modelines i dont wanna use | 01:14 |
| Macros42 | bobbob1016: for my first tryout I installed on a XP box - resized the partition fine and dual booted it - easy as pie | 01:14 |
| MilitantPotato | snkmad: probably, but why would ya? | 01:14 |
| Caram | Bob, having live cds on hand is a good idea | 01:14 |
| snkmad | coz there are some modelines with low refresh rate | 01:14 |
| Caram | But explain that you HAVE to unmount the drives. :P | 01:14 |
| snkmad | those with @60hz | 01:14 |
| MilitantPotato | snkmad: you can set a higher refresh via ubuntu | 01:14 |
| bobbob1016 | roy, I have a partition, I am just seeing if the resize works, since that is what most people would be doing in the class. I thought it would be a good idea to see how many people had success with it. | 01:14 |
| MilitantPotato | the 60hz won't bother you if ya don't set it to that. | 01:15 |

| MilitantPotato | snkmad: sudo nvidia-glx-config | 01:31 |
| Macros42 | Task: usuallly a problem with the ide drive | 01:31 |
| arajabat | Hi! My Windows disapired from my grub. I didnt do anything. ps.: people from #grub dont answer me | 01:31 |
| Tarkus | does anyone know why when i have a window open as root (like synaptic, or if i do 'sudo thunar', etc..) it doesnt keep my current GTK+ theme? it uses a very ugly grey system theme... any idea? | 01:31 |
| Task | Ummmm is that where you check the box before you download it? | 01:31 |
| Task | Macros42 | 01:32 |
| eugman | Pelo, well honestly I don't know much about it but I heard about an issue with laptop harddrives being shortened because of that issue | 01:32 |
| snkmad | /usr/sbin/nvidia-glx-config called with unknown command: | 01:32 |
| snkmad | Usage: /usr/sbin/nvidia-glx-config [enable|disable] | 01:32 |
| Macros42 | yep | 01:32 |
| mneptok | Tarkus: because the root user does not have your GNOME prefs. | 01:32 |
| Task | Ok... will do.... thanks | 01:32 |
| Pelo | arajabat, ppl from grub might not be around, look in /boot/grub/ , look of a backup of your menu.lst file and restore it | 01:32 |
| MilitantPotato | sudo nvidia-glx-config enable | 01:32 |
| Macros42 | i had the same problem on an old box - only differences are that it's not a livecd and it's a text based installer | 01:32 |
| snkmad | MilitantPotato should i put enable after sudo nvidia-glx-config? | 01:32 |
| snkmad | ok | 01:32 |
| Tarkus | mneptok, strange though, how the window border is the same theme as my main user. | 01:33 |
| viksa | i'm getting this error message when booting ubuntu live cd and my cpu fan stop working and i get overheat any solution | 01:33 |
| Tarkus | mneptok, but the gtk theme, isnt | 01:33 |
| mneptok | Tarkus: why is that strange? | 01:33 |
| viksa | i'm getting this error message "8254 timer not connected to io-apic" when booting ubuntu live cd and my cpu fan stop working and i get overheat any solution | 01:33 |
| Pelo | eugman, if it the the bug I think it is , do a search on digg for the article , there is a simple line you cna put in , but honestly ,I don'T think it's the kind of bug most user should worry about | 01:33 |
| shenron__ | so does anyone know why nautilus hangs when it tries to initialize the gnome-mount extension | 01:33 |
| ztomic | MilitantPotato: what's gonna suc is if his X dies and he can't get back in here for help.. :) | 01:33 |
| Task | Macros42 : Do I have to partion the Hard drive,,,,, I was going to install it on the same partition with windows... is that ok??? | 01:33 |
| MilitantPotato | ztomic: agreed, he backed up his Xorg.conf though | 01:34 |
| shenron__ | Task: only one OS per partition | 01:34 |
| Pelo | viksa, do a search in the forum for no apic , there is a way to fix that thing I just don't know what it is | 01:34 |
| mneptok | Task: it's not OK. it's impossible. | 01:34 |
| snkmad | MilitantPotato said my X config has been altered, and told me to run md5 | 01:34 |
| Tarkus | mneptok, because the both my gtk and WB themes are in /home/mike/.themes (only for my user (mike)).. | 01:34 |
| MilitantPotato | snkmad: sudo nvidia-settings | 01:34 |
| Task | ohhh | 01:34 |
| Macros42 | it's not impossible | 01:34 |
| MilitantPotato | snkmad: figured, just making sure everything's kosher. | 01:34 |
| snkmad | ztomic if X dies, i can copy the backup over the xorg.conf on console? | 01:35 |
| Macros42 | works fine - just allow the auto resizing | 01:35 |
| drifterz | what P2P packages are available such as limewire using the gunetella and like networks. | 01:35 |
| Tarkus | mneptok, so i just thought that if root doesnt use the settings from 'mike'. then i dont understand how it has my window border settings. | 01:35 |
| Task | hmm,,,, I guess I should set up a network and transfer all my files to my laptop them? | 01:35 |
| Task | than* | 01:35 |
| Macros42 | ah sry - misread | 01:35 |
| snkmad | MilitantPotato ok its running | 01:35 |
| hmuller | MilitantPotato: Sweet, I didn't know about that one. I'm kinda new to nvidia graphics | 01:35 |
| MilitantPotato | snkmad: see if you can adjust your monitor hz | 01:35 |
| mneptok | Macros42: it is impossible to install Windows and Linux on the same partition. | 01:35 |
| Macros42 | has to be a new partition - but the installer can resize the existing one | 01:35 |
| * Pelo thinks Task got confused you can install on the same hdd as windows just not on thesame partition, you need to resize the windows partition to make room for an ubuntu partition | 01:35 | |
| Macros42 | mneptok: already retracted :) | 01:36 |
| Macros42 | I misread Tasks post | 01:36 |
| Task | Can I partition it with out erasing the other half.....? | 01:36 |
| mneptok | Macros42: actually, i should add "barring virtualization" | 01:36 |
| MilitantPotato | Task: yes, but you risk data loss | 01:36 |
| Task | oh | 01:36 |
| snkmad | MilitantPotato this way itll be locked? like ie, i set 800x600 to @ 85hz, change to 1024x768, when i go back to 800x600 itll be @ 85hz? | 01:36 |
| Task | darn it | 01:36 |
| Macros42 | the installer can resize the partition | 01:36 |
| Macros42 | but make sure you backup anything critical | 01:36 |
| MilitantPotato | snkmad: maybe. | 01:36 |
| Macros42 | any partition manipulation is risky | 01:37 |
| Pelo | Task, yes you can resize without losing your windws data but you better backup the important stuff first, just in case | 01:37 |
| MilitantPotato | snkmad: you might have to select 85hz the first time you choose a rez. | 01:37 |
| Task | I wish I had a extra hard drive now.... | 01:37 |
| temp1234 | has anyone explored that hard drive bug at all? What is an average load cycle per day? | 01:37 |
| snkmad | ok gonna try, since the xorg.conf is backed | 01:37 |
| Task | yeah | 01:37 |
| spoulson | Hello | 01:37 |
| Task | Ok guys... thnks...... Iamma go try it :) | 01:37 |
| snkmad | should i apply all res changes? or just right to X confg file? | 01:37 |
| Macros42 | Task: good luck :) | 01:37 |
| Tarkus | anyone know how to make the root user have the same theme settings as my main user? | 01:37 |
| Pelo | Task, defrag your hdd first , it will make it easier | 01:37 |

| Pelo | b1n42y, this article and others overstate the problem , regular users shouldn't realy worry as far as I know | 01:58 |
| ztomic | b1n42y: I look for linux friendly stuff anyway. sounds like crap to me. | 01:58 |
| MilitantPotato | b1n42y: I read something from the developer, it's completely not ubuntu's fault, and can be fixed by editing the drives power saving settings | 01:58 |
| b1n42y | okay just needed your opinions | 01:58 |
| snkmad | how do i kill a zombie process? its ID 8781 | 01:58 |
| Caram | MilitantPotato, that is done in the BIOS? | 01:58 |
| ztomic | b1n42y: sounds like a MS employee got a blog goin' | 01:58 |
| kelsin | b1n42y: There have been lots of ubuntu blog posts explaining the situation in detail too, and even how to find out if you're affected, even though by all normal accounts you shouldn't be | 01:59 |
| Caram | snkmad, I hear you have to drive a stake through it's heart | 01:59 |
| Pelo | snkmad, man kill | 01:59 |

| void2258 | unless someone knows better search keywords | 02:00 |
| Pelo | void2258, just search for zip and then read read read | 02:00 |
| kelsin | snkmad: if I recall right you can't kill a zombie process... which is really annoying. I forget why but I think I read that while googling | 02:00 |
| Pelo | void2258, or just bite the bullet and extract the file | 02:00 |
| snkmad | kill -9 8781 wouldnt do it? | 02:01 |

| MilitantPotato | It only is saved untill you reboot | 02:01 |
| Caram | Alright, thanks | 02:01 |
| MilitantPotato | Caram: but if you havn't enabled laptop mode you're ok. | 02:01 |
| snkmad | ah manged to kill it via gnome system monitor | 02:01 |
| Pelo | snkmad, what is the name of the process ? sudo killall processname | 02:01 |
| Caram | MilitantPotato, that has to happen manually, correct? | 02:02 |
| Caram | to set laptop mode? | 02:02 |
| ztomic | hardware has always been an issue with linux anyway. If you build your own, look for linux friendly stuff. But if you don't buy a computer from someone who builds linux boxes. simple problem: pay for support but dont pay for fear. | 02:02 |
| MilitantPotato | Caram: it's a bug with laptop makers over happy power saving methods, to increase battery life | 02:02 |
| MilitantPotato | Caram: yes. | 02:02 |
| Caram | Thanks for your help =) | 02:02 |

| Pelo | SteveR, I'm Autocad user and I haven't realy found anything that's up to par yet | 02:04 |
| kelsin | snkmad: then yeah, when I said you couldn't I meant if the kernel registered it as zombie :) sorry, the system monitor or kill -9 are both fine :) | 02:04 |
| ztomic | fiXXXerMet: good question! simple answer- you need DOS. Any DOS will do. | 02:04 |
| snkmad | ok | 02:04 |

| jmak642 | any takers? | 02:06 |
| ztomic | fiXXXerMet: you dont need an image. | 02:06 |
| fiXXXerMet | ztomic: I can just burn the files to a cd and it'll boot? | 02:07 |
| SteveR | pelo, but you need 3D? | 02:07 |

I just installed 7.10 on it, and installed grub to it as well (this way it doesn't touch my internal hdd). the grub menu comes up, but when I select the kernel, it fails. I guess I need to figure out how to pre-load usb drivers or something? can someone point me in the right direction here? | 02:07 |

| fiXXXerMet | I have a bootable floppy but no floppy drive in the computer to be flashed (i have on on this pc) | 02:08 |
| SteveR | Pelo, same here with windows, I'm hoping to fully migrate to linux, but cad is the problem | 02:08 |
| Pelo | SteveR, it's not much of an issue for me atm anyway, I don't do much drawing anymore | 02:08 |
| jmak642 | i am trying to use the nvidia-glx-new driver and it just wont work | 02:09 |
| jmak642 | i've also tried the nvidia-glx driver | 02:09 |
| ztomic | fiXXXerMet: last time I tried to flash from cd I screwed it up. part of what youre trying to upgrade hase to do with ide. It might work but it's best to do from floppy. | 02:09 |

| MilitantPotato | Is there a frontend for smartmontools | 02:18 |
| Dolphin91 | Is there a way to change the laptop screen brightness in ubuntu? | 02:18 |
| MasterShrek | Syrra, ill be honest, i havent used a floppy in years, i wouldnt know the first thing about formatting one in linux, used them in my *doze dayz | 02:18 |
| spasticteapot | I can't adjust the brightness outside of the "power management" program. Fn + Home or Fn + End used to turn the brightness up or down. | 02:18 |
| mistik1 | Minute: then it is prolly a matter of which card is card0, aplay -l will tell you. | 02:18 |
| Syrra | This is not a good day | 02:18 |
| ztomic | leladia: check that the first line is correct. it should be #!/bin/bash | 02:18 |

| leladia | ztomic: from my studying so far i think that first line is right | 02:19 |
| ztomic | craigbass1976: nope but my dells work grear | 02:19 |
| craigbass1976 | Wondering what's different on a Dell install than a regular install | 02:19 |
| Dolphin91 | I don't understand the system structure of linux.... | 02:19 |
| MasterShrek | craigbass1976, probably nothing too much | 02:19 |
| nrp | spasticteapot, try the Gnome Brightness Applet, and if that doesn't work, sudo apt-get install xbacklight. i imagine there would be a way to map hotkeys to xbacklight, though I don't know what it is | 02:20 |
| craigbass1976 | ztomic, I have one too, but the motherboard up and died on me, and I'm buying one preloaded | 02:20 |
| MasterShrek | maybe a dell logo here or there, but i even doubt that | 02:20 |
| ztomic | grear=great... sorry | 02:20 |
| Malduin | How can I stop my display from blanking (going black) every few minutes of idle time. I tried messing with xset but can't get it to stop. | 02:20 |
| Jimdb | dolphin91: what do you understand about the structure of windows? | 02:20 |
| ztomic | leladia: pastebin. | 02:20 |
| nrp | craigbass1976, IIRC, theyve been pushing any changes they would have to make upstream to ubuntu, rather than just having them on their laptops | 02:20 |
| Dolphin91 | I understand the registry and the system. | 02:20 |
| leladia | ztomic: what do u mean pls | 02:21 |
| craigbass1976 | MasterShrek, I'm just thinking of new windows boxes-- the first couple days is spent cleaning off the garbage Dell and the other big companies put on them; wondering if they found a way to gunk up Ubuntu too | 02:21 |
| Jimdb | dolphin91: you just knew it or you had to learn it over time? | 02:21 |
| ztomic | leladia: I mean: try what I said before or paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 02:21 |
| MasterShrek | craigbass1976, i suppose they might, but i dont think they would haev installed any software that wouldnt be apt-get removable | 02:21 |
| Dolphin91 | The folder names in windows made it obvious, like program files, system, documents and settings.... | 02:22 |
| leladia | ztomic: okay | 02:22 |
| craigbass1976 | Dolphin91, I gave up trying to figure out the registry. Thinkof Linux as a logical file system where everything is controlled by what is in it's respective config file | 02:22 |
| fujin_ | *everything* is a file | 02:22 |
| fujin_ | throw whatever you knew about logical file placement out the window | 02:22 |
| fujin_ | welcome to a world where configuration files are stored in configuration directories | 02:23 |
| craigbass1976 | Dolphin91, such as apache being configured by /etc/apache/apache.conf | 02:23 |
| fujin_ | and binaries are not | 02:23 |
| Jimdb | dolphin91: \windows\system, \windows\system32 are not the only folders. but you had to learn about them. there's a slew of folders for certain files just like under linux. once you see the overall structure of linux you'll see how obvious it is too. | 02:23 |
| Minute | damn, Nintendo took the crown from Sony in software sales now | 02:23 |
| medfly | never mind, found it. :-) | 02:23 |

| Jimdb | dolphin91: and don't get me started on the complexity of the registry. | 02:23 |
| Dolphin91 | oh | 02:23 |
| mistik1 | Minute: this is what you need to do, in the file /etc/modules.d/alsa-base add the following line: | 02:23 |

| bur[n]e2 | R_J: network manager rocks yer sox though | 02:27 |
| bur[n]e2 | R_J: might want to check out wifi radar too | 02:27 |
| R_J | the thing with network manager was | 02:27 |
| Jimdb | dolphin91: the point I was making is that it takes time to learn windows, just as it takes time to learn linux. once you do learn either they both seem obvious and you'll see that linux does work extremely well. and just learning linux is fun where learning windows is like having to eat an old shoe because you are starving to death. | 02:27 |
| nrp | spasticteapot, hmm, new update that broke it perhaps? see if someone filed a bug report | 02:27 |
| craigbass1976 | R_J, next time you take a vacation though, you get a spanking | 02:27 |

| spasticteapot | Finally, battery life just sucks. | 02:28 |
| razorbuzz | I have a simple question also..but for some reason can't get it. I login remotely from work via SSH. Today, I had 3 connections quit on me ('net went down at work each time). Running 'users' it still shows the other instances of my logins are present. Is there a way to force them off w/out rebooting? | 02:28 |

| Jimdb | syrra: the mount point for the ext3 is / ? | 02:42 |

| Syrra | where would it say that? should be | 02:42 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: just because the main server is closer, doesn't mean it's faster if more people are connected to it. | 02:43 |
| Jimdb | syrra: right click on it and a menu will pop up. | 02:43 |
| boontoo | wheredidrealityg: well i have 50kbps connection so now its going at 5000 bytes and i live in melbourne aus | 02:43 |
| Jimdb | syrra: does it have a "mount on" choice and is it black or grayed out? | 02:43 |
| Syrra | black text | 02:43 |
| Syrra | I don't see anything about mount on | 02:43 |
| wheredidrealityg | wheredidrealityg: i believe "main server" is run from the U.S., which could explain why. I'm not aware of if they have an australian server, one sec (checking). | 02:44 |

| Scunizi | !root | doctavus | 03:08 |
| ubotu | doctavus: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:08 |
| W4gn3r | OpenSorce: the resolution is OK, I did it before enter jhere | 03:08 |
| adam300 | doctavus the root account is weird in ubunut | 03:08 |
| ztomic | oh hell! I was pickin' on Hodapp | 03:08 |
| doctavus | ty ubotu, looking at it now | 03:08 |
| adam300 | doctavus you can do sudo passwd | 03:08 |
| fixit1007 | the su password is the password that was set at installation | 03:08 |
| doctavus | *fixit* thats what i type in | 03:08 |
| doctavus | but could be my regular user account | 03:08 |
| leladia | pls how do i search for all the capital letters in a file? | 03:08 |
| adam300 | doctavus it's for your regular account | 03:09 |
| Scunizi | doctavus: to do things as root preferace your command with sudo. | 03:09 |
| oldsickclown | hey adam that worked you're the best | 03:09 |
| CoasterMaster | whooo earthquake | 03:09 |
| adam300 | most things in ubuntu that root does are done with sudo from sudo enable account | 03:09 |
| ztomic | doctavus: ubotu loves you | 03:09 |
| doctavus | wow ok | 03:09 |
| doctavus | so used to doing su root years back i think | 03:10 |

| adam300 | and set a new root password then it basically acts the same | 03:10 |
| MilitantPotato | tronyx: fglrxinfo | 03:10 |

| === |Whitor| is now known as Whitor | ||
| Dekkard | konam.. you shouldnt have to reinstall grub | 03:33 |
| DerangedDingo | to1: You probably have some GRUB setup issues. I used to know how to fix these (after I had some of my own upgrading to Feisty) but it's gone now. Google as much as you can for GRUB Configuration Issues until you find something that looks good, and then try a forum topic | 03:33 |
| falloutsyndrome | O | 03:33 |
| Fload | I cant get to login or a console | 03:33 |
| DerangedDingo | to1: although someone in here might know how to fix those things offhand | 03:33 |

| Mal- | hey can anybody help me get GTK+ libraires working on my machine? | 03:33 |

| DerangedDingo | darkmatter: Well, the files you moved from one hard drive get moved to the other | 03:34 |
| Dekkard | mal do you have gnome installed? | 03:34 |
| falloutsyndrome | Dekkard anyone who's well known? | 03:34 |
| DerangedDingo | darkmatter: Then, you can access those files on the other hard drive VIA the operating system's applications | 03:34 |

| Jimdb | syrra: who makes the drive that is giving you problems? | 03:36 |
| darkmatter | grub | 03:36 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: i would go back into your software sources (where you can change servers) and remove any "unofficial" repos from the upgrade. it's recommended for best upgrade experience, conflicts can arise otherwise. | 03:36 |
| Syrra | I couldn't get it out all the way to tell, but I saw an IBM logo | 03:36 |
| to1 | how can i write files in life CD mode??? | 03:37 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: you can re-enable them afterwards. | 03:37 |

| Syrra | The other two were seagate barracudas | 03:37 |
| to1 | how can i write files in life CD mode??? | 03:37 |
| Jimdb | syrra: go to the hitachi's web site and download their drive fitness test and run it against your drive. | 03:37 |
| Dekkard | you mean livecd? | 03:37 |
| darkmatter | i want to keep my crap in linux hdd will it stay if i change the total computer | 03:37 |
| doctavus | *any* Whats the command in terminal to show the running processes? | 03:37 |

| to1 | ubuntu | 03:37 |
| doctavus | thats it, thx | 03:37 |
| Jimdb | syrra: you have windows installed on any of your machines? | 03:37 |
| wheredidrealityg | tol: Livecds can only write to hard drives if they're mounted. | 03:37 |
| Fload | ok I left the room and just came back and it booted in what looks like defualt mode... | 03:37 |
| to1 | its mounted | 03:38 |
| Toma- | doctavus➔ 'ps aux' | 03:38 |
| vrkhans | how i can install e17 | 03:38 |
| to1 | but i need permision | 03:38 |
| Konam | Dekkard can't you give me any hint or something? | 03:38 |
| Fload | but can't get it to boot normally | 03:38 |
| willskills | ps aux | 03:38 |
| Syrra | this one, but I can't get to it without grub, afaict | 03:38 |
| DerangedDingo | darkmatter: No, changing the computer case won't change hard drive contents, unless, while installing Windows, you reformat your Linux harddrive | 03:38 |
| Syrra | And the one in uh | 03:38 |
| doctavus | heh for some reason i can't even run a terminal now, guess i'll reboot, brb | 03:38 |
| Toma- | vrkhans➔ a guy named dunnewind has a ubuntu repository. google for it | 03:38 |
| Dekkard | Konam, dood.. im sorry.. im just a cook. the only time ive done it is to remove old kernel entries | 03:38 |
| DerangedDingo | darkmatter: For installing GRUB: http://tinyurl.com/39wvdh | 03:38 |
| darkmatter | ty | 03:38 |
| doctavus | after this song, heh | 03:38 |
| boontoo | wheredidrealityg: so i should untick all of the 40 3rd party software repos? | 03:38 |
| scguy318 | Dekkard: better to just uninstall the older kernel versions if you dont want them :P | 03:39 |
| Jimdb | syrra: is there anything on the drive that is giving you problems that you can't do without? | 03:39 |
| Syrra | I think there's one in the other room that runs Win2k | 03:39 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: Captain, I think I have detected the source of the conflict. | 03:39 |
| boontoo | ahahha | 03:39 |
| darkmatter | now can you please find me a good torrent that is not corrupted | 03:39 |
| vrkhans | Toma google for what | 03:39 |
| boontoo | must have been that POS automatix | 03:39 |
| Dekkard | scguy318, sometimes i like to do it the hard way | 03:39 |
| Syrra | nope | 03:39 |
| Toma- | vrkhans➔ 'dunnewind ubuntu e17' | 03:39 |
| gnychis | is there a battery monitor for laptops, kind of like nm-applet is for networks? | 03:39 |
| Dekkard | .. i used to run slackware.. there is no such thing as automatic | 03:39 |
| Syrra | I don't even remember what was on it | 03:39 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: Automatix is completely unnecessary in Gutsy. | 03:39 |
| scguy318 | Dekkard: why not free up a bit of space :P | 03:39 |
| Syrra | but I had everything backed up to usb | 03:39 |
| Syrra | or /home/syrra | 03:39 |
| boontoo | wheredidrealityg: so i discover | 03:39 |
| Syrra | which is a different drive | 03:39 |
| astro76 | darkmatter, we won't warn again about piracy discussion | 03:39 |
| Jimdb | syrra: then go to www.hitachi.com and download their drive fitness test. test the drive. if it says bad sectors, then low level it and reinstall linux | 03:39 |
| darkmatter | what did i do | 03:40 |
| scguy318 | gnychis: sure is, should be somewhere in the applet list | 03:40 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: it prompts for codec installs, you can also install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" (from official multiverse repos) and it'll install most otherstuff (java etc) | 03:40 |
| darkmatter | im just asking for help | 03:40 |
| darkmatter | or give me the channel | 03:40 |

| Dekkard | lmao | 03:41 |
| jhonovich1 | in update manager even though my system is up to date, i am not getting a message to allow me to upgrade to a new distribution, i am on dapper, any advice? | 03:41 |
| scguy318 | gnychis: Battery Charge Monitor | 03:41 |
| DerangedDingo | darkmatter: The latter would fit you best, IMHO | 03:41 |
| Dekkard | jhonovich1, i dont think you can go straight from dapper to gutsy | 03:41 |
| scguy318 | jhonovich1: better to backup and do a nice clean install | 03:41 |
| darkmatter | ty very much for that one DERANGEDDINGO | 03:42 |
| kkathman | you cant go from dapper to gutsy unless you reinstall | 03:42 |
| Flannel | kkathman: Or upgrade a few times | 03:42 |
| kkathman | right | 03:42 |
| jhonovich1 | how do i go from dapper to edgy, can i upgrade that way? | 03:42 |
| boontoo | wheredidrealityg: my ultimate goal is when ubuntu is loggin in you get to chose which language you want, if you select english it opens up emulation software and music and games, when i select japanese it opens up mail and forums | 03:42 |
| Jimdb | anyone here use the moods plugin for amarok? | 03:42 |
| Fload | how can I restore my xorg.conf can it be done via livecd? | 03:42 |
| kkathman | well Flannel exactly - you cant go from dapper to gutsy :) | 03:42 |
| scguy318 | jhonovich1: you can upgrade from Dapper -> Edgy -> Feisty -> Gutsy, which means MASSIVE downloading | 03:42 |
| scguy318 | jhonovich1: or you can backup and perform a clean install | 03:43 |
| Dekkard | jhonovich1, if you want to go from dapper to gutsy.. you should bakc up your data and do a clean install | 03:43 |
| frank23 | jhonovich1: the only supported upgrades are from one version to the next | 03:43 |
| DerangedDingo | darkmatter: you're welcome, I enjoyed it. i wouldn't be rude if you just dropped the whole "help me do illegal stuff" act | 03:43 |
| Syrra | floppies again | 03:43 |
| Syrra | nnnrg | 03:43 |
| Jimdb | fload: use gparted to mount the volume. then go into the /etc/X11 folder and edit the xorg.conf. find the place where it says the device is "nvidia" and change back to "nv" | 03:43 |
| jhonovich1 | thanks, everyone, i will back up and install clean | 03:43 |
| Flicker | my console says word@word:~$ how can i change both of those words? | 03:43 |
| kkathman | feisty to gutsy doesnt require massive downloading | 03:43 |
| Fload | ya | 03:43 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: change the prompt? probably edit some bash file | 03:44 |
| Flannel | jhonovich1: Or wait six months until april, then go from dapper straight to hardy | 03:44 |
| Jimdb | fload: the /etc/X11 folder will be underneath the location where you mounted the hard drive | 03:44 |
| logon | My video performance sucks with ubuntu, what should I do??? | 03:44 |
| darkmatter | what was so illegal i still dont know yt | 03:44 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: or do you want to change your username and machine name? | 03:44 |
| elkbirthday | or he could wait 6 mths for hardy and do the lts to lts upgrade | 03:44 |
| frank23 | Flicker: the first is you user name and the last your computer name | 03:44 |
| Syrra | What is MF2HD formatted? | 03:44 |
| elkbirthday | Flannel, yeah :) | 03:44 |
| DerangedDingo | darkmatter: Torrenting copyrighted material, such as microsoft windows | 03:44 |
| astro76 | Flicker, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/ | 03:44 |
| Jimdb | fload: so if you mount the hdd under /media it will be /media/etc/X11 | 03:44 |
| Syrra | eh, better question, how do I tell if a floppy is formatted? I think it's new out of the box, but I'm unsure | 03:44 |
| kamue | hello | 03:44 |
| scguy318 | Syrra: you can try to mount it, off the top of my head | 03:45 |
| kkathman | scguy318, your advice isnt accurate really :) | 03:45 |
| Jimdb | syrra: just try writing to it. | 03:45 |
| scguy318 | kkathman: do explain | 03:45 |
| duck_ | where to i copy themes to? | 03:45 |
| Dekkard | you can mount from the command line | 03:45 |
| Syrra | what's the name of the floppy device? | 03:45 |
| kkathman | feisty -> no massive download | 03:45 |
| boontoo | 60% of torrenting is illegal but i hate how admins say that 100% is | 03:45 |
| Dekkard | duck ~.themes | 03:45 |
| Syrra | fd something wasn't it? | 03:45 |
| kkathman | its a simple upgrade | 03:45 |
| scguy318 | kkathman: like fd0 or something | 03:45 |
| kkathman | no | 03:45 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: Interesting. I wish I knew more about coding, it'd be a fun project. | 03:45 |
| scguy318 | kkathman: from Dapper -> Gutsy? dont think so | 03:45 |
| kamue | hey, anyone want to make money? im offering a real job PM me | 03:45 |
| ArrPirate | I love the multiple desktops for ubuntu, but I wish that I could have seperate panels and seperate desktop icons for each one. Is there way a to do this? | 03:45 |
| kkathman | you said feisty -> gutsy | 03:45 |
| Flicker | frank23: i know what they are and i know how to change user but how do i change computer name? | 03:45 |
| ArrPirate | a way, sorry | 03:46 |
| scguy318 | kkathman: I said Dapper -> Edgy -> Feisty -> Gutsy or something like that | 03:46 |

| elkbirthday | astro76, i didn tsee the message | 03:48 |
| kkathman | yep its a simpler situation, but unfortuntately ubuntu devs that program the install do not insist on a dedicated home partition - which is a travesty beyond all logc | 03:48 |
| boontoo | wheredidrealityg: yeh, G++ is fun aparently but i think all that is too mathematically insane | 03:48 |
| elkbirthday | i see it now | 03:48 |

| dell | yes | 03:49 |
| dell | where are you ? | 03:49 |
| * Dekkard just shakes his head | 03:49 | |
| mistik1 | hehe | 03:49 |
| riotkittie | really? none of the other distros i've installed have insisted on dedicated /homes | 03:49 |
| scguy318 | dell: I'm at home? | 03:49 |
| Syrra | eh, can't mount | 03:49 |
| Jimdb | he's behind you | 03:49 |
| Syrra | how do I format? | 03:49 |
| scguy318 | Syrra: mkfs I think | 03:49 |
| kkathman | riotkittie, you're installed poor distros then | 03:49 |
| prak | is there anyone here who knows about to apply patches and then apply the recompilation/reinstallation? | 03:50 |
| Syrra | I know how to do this in dos XD | 03:50 |
| Syrra | I swear | 03:50 |
| kkathman | riotkittie, the responsible ones DO | 03:50 |
| Dekkard | kkathman, thanks for that opinion | 03:50 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: you may want to take a look at some of the gtk+ documentation too. it's interesting (i bookmarked it) http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/index.html | 03:50 |
| OpenSorce | is that stoned "dude you're gettin a dell" kid? | 03:50 |
| Jimdb | syrra: take it to your win2k box, format it then bring it back and mount it. | 03:50 |
| kkathman | Dekkard, please explain to me the reasoning to NOT have a dedicated home partition if you please | 03:50 |
| Syrra | kk | 03:50 |
| kkathman | if you have a contrary opinion | 03:50 |
| Dekkard | ok.. how big do you make it? | 03:50 |
| Syrra | I need to learn how to do this in linux | 03:50 |
| boontoo | wheredidrealityg: will do | 03:50 |
| Jimdb | syrra: yes, but hwen you don't hae more pressing matters at hand | 03:51 |
| boontoo | aparently python and heineken beer is a winning combination | 03:51 |
| astro76 | kkathman, I think pretty much the only reason is to avoid the question "how much space for / and how much space for /home" | 03:51 |
| kkathman | Dekkard, you dont - you fix the root, and let the rest be home of course | 03:51 |
| scguy318 | Syrra: mkfs -t msdos /dev/fd0 1440 | 03:51 |
| scguy318 | Syrra: something like that I guess | 03:51 |
| riotkittie | kkathman: the fact that my distros of choice don't demand seperate home partitions doesn't make them poor, but that's offtopic and so i will shut up | 03:51 |
| kkathman | its ridiculous to not have a separated home | 03:51 |
| wheredidrealityg | kkathman: I'm with you, separate /home partition makes reinstalling much easier and painless. | 03:51 |
| Dekkard | so on a 500 gig drive you leave like 498 gig for home? | 03:51 |
| scragar | I have a dedicated hard-drive for my home directory, forget partitions. | 03:51 |
| OpenSorce | kkathman, agreed | 03:51 |
| kkathman | wheredidrealityg, thank you - most people around linux for ANY length of time know this | 03:52 |

| wolliw | is there no compatibility mode to run 32bit binaries in amd64 ubuntu? | 04:10 |

| genii | Symian: You can put ssh as the auth type into the pam gdm file, eg: /etc/pam.d/gdm you can use the ssh example there to dra from. For the wireless, not sure if that can be done from there | 04:13 |

| trimmer | forums? | 04:14 |

| scguy318 | Owner_: partitions can be resized | 04:14 |
| scguy318 | Owner_: preserving data | 04:14 |
| kkathman | I click on Networks and it seems if EVERY network source doesnt respond, ubuntu brings back NOTHING - thats just dumb | 04:14 |
| wheredidrealityg | trimmer: the repositories are open, you just have to install Gutsy (computer, partition, virtual machine), and then manually change the repository names from Gutsy to Hardy | 04:14 |
| scguy318 | Owner_: though a very good idea to backup before doing fun operationslike that | 04:14 |
| scguy318 | wheredidrealityg: ah | 04:14 |
| Owner_ | lol fun.. | 04:14 |
| boontoo | wheredidrealityg: although None+superkey doesnt work | 04:14 |
| Jimdb | those of you that use awn, are you successful in getting the notification applet to work? i see only a white vertical line where the notification applet should be. | 04:14 |
| scguy318 | Owner_: the installer should take care of that fun stuff | 04:14 |

| scguy318 | Flynsarmy_: probably something with find | 04:15 |
| wheredidrealityg | Jimdb: you have to make sure your real system tray is closed too. | 04:15 |
| wheredidrealityg | Jimdb: if it's open in your panel, it can't be open in AWN, so close that one, then restart your AWN. | 04:15 |

| boontoo | wheredidrealityg: works i guess its not quakey but itl do | 04:15 |

| scguy318 | Owner_: your data will probably survive resizing, but it never hurts to be safe | 04:17 |
| creaked | rishopinzasdsa | 04:17 |
| Owner_ | so say the partitioning goes well can I choose to boot wither win or ubuntu after that? | 04:17 |
| scguy318 | Owner_: when you install, you can choose to go with guided (use entire disk is probably not what you want) or manual | 04:17 |
| scguy318 | Owner_: yep | 04:17 |
| Flynsarmy_ | scragar: Got it. thanks | 04:17 |
| Owner_ | ok | 04:18 |
| scguy318 | Owner_: the installer will install GRUB with an appropriate menu.lst file to go with it | 04:18 |
| Owner_ | wat is GRUB? | 04:18 |
| boontoo | wheredidrealityg: lol "downloading file 2of2 with 6KB/s | 04:18 |
| boontoo | =-( | 04:18 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: :O | 04:18 |
| scguy318 | Owner_: GRUB, or the Grand Unified Bootloader, is a boot loader geared towards booting multiple operating systems | 04:18 |
| wheredidrealityg | Jimdb: any luck? | 04:18 |

| wheredidrealityg | Jimdb: it gets less noticeable as time goes on trust me. | 04:20 |

| Jimdb | wheredidrealityg: is there a way to get rid of the last gnome panel since this awn? since awn does it all for me. | 04:26 |
| scguy318 | oritemis: Wine isn't a very huge overload, since its a compatibility layer and not, say, a virtual machine | 04:26 |
| scguy318 | oritemis: Azureus wastes more resources than those two | 04:26 |
| oritemis | scguy318: oh, it's an old an know bug? :( | 04:26 |
| scguy318 | oritemis: since it runs on top of the JVM, and its a known memory hog | 04:26 |

| oritemis | IdleOne: I had already jave installed... | 04:26 |

| Lam_ | i'm compiling mplayer from source, but it doesn't seem to pick up the fact that i have libdvdnav-dev installed. am i doing something wrong? | 04:27 |
| scguy318 | oritemis: depending on KDE isn't that big a deal, and theres always other apps like the rtorrent, cmd-line I think | 04:27 |
| scguy318 | oritemis: Wine isn't that bad compared to the JVM :P | 04:27 |

| scguy318 | Flicker: repositories remain the same, they dont change per release | 04:28 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: to update the list of packages, sudo apt-get update | 04:28 |
| Jimdb | wheredidrealityg: make sense. did that just now. | 04:28 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: you shouldn't be downloading feisty packages. | 04:28 |

| scguy318 | oritemis: np | 04:29 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: are you doing the actual upgrade now, or the update to the latest feisty ones? | 04:29 |
| Flicker | scguy318: this will update the list or will add packages? | 04:29 |
| boontoo | wheredidrealityg: the actual upgrade | 04:29 |
| Flicker | i just want to update the list | 04:29 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: manually edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and change everything Feisty to Gutsy | 04:29 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: it will update the list of packages of each repository | 04:29 |
| Flicker | i had just installed .. it had not done so alreayd? | 04:30 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: adding a package to a repository is the job of MOTU and co. | 04:30 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: you can however install a package locally | 04:30 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: you're going to have to apt-get update again | 04:30 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: independent of the repository packages | 04:30 |

| jarrod | what is a string? | 04:31 |
| Flicker | scguy318: so that command will add new sources to the list? i sthat what you're saying | 04:31 |
| mssever | jarrod: A sequence of characters | 04:31 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: no, it will simply update the package lists | 04:31 |

| jarrod | mssever: thanks | 04:31 |
| mssever | jarrod: like text, words, etc. | 04:31 |

| jarrod | mssever: i knew it was a basic thing but it was difficult to find a def that explained it. | 04:32 |
| ToddEDM | damn!! im not fast enough | 04:32 |
| Flannel | wheredidrealityg: If you prefer that way, that's fine. Please don't recommend it to people. update-manager does sanity checks and reenables metapackages and things. So unless you're going to walk them through all that, please just suggest update-manager | 04:32 |
| Bonster | will it have all the KDE files? | 04:32 |
| boontoo | Flannel: ive been having a lot of update problems from the update-manager, eg having to change MMap defaults ecte ct | 04:32 |
| ArrPirate | how would I login and change session? | 04:33 |
| scguy318 | ArrPirate: log out, at the login window, theres a button called Session | 04:33 |
| scguy318 | ArrPirate: pick that, select KDE or w/e, login, boom, you're in KDE | 04:33 |
| ToddEDM | hey guys..... i downloaded an .iso and when i double click it... it always asks me to insert a blank disc... the problem i have with that is THERE IS ONE IN THE DRIVE!!! its driving me nutty . Does anyone know how to remedy this?? | 04:33 |
| Bonster | will it have all KDE stuff? | 04:33 |
| Bonster | or is it just a theme? | 04:33 |
| ArrPirate | for some reason my login window doesn't match my resolution so all I see is the input box, the logo, and Options | 04:33 |
| mssever | ArrPirate: At the login screen, hit F10 and choose Session | 04:33 |
| Flannel | !repeat | ToddEDM | 04:33 |
| ubotu | ToddEDM: 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 | 04:33 |
| scguy318 | Bonster: kubuntu-desktop gives you basically all the stuff in Kubuntu | 04:33 |
| ArrPirate | cool, thanks | 04:33 |
| whyameye | why would it be that suspend doesn't work UNLESS I hibernate 1x first? | 04:34 |
| Flicker | scguy318: for example i search for MC (midnight commander) it does not show up on the list | 04:34 |
| Bonster | so that means i can install Linux MCE KDE on my Gnome? | 04:34 |
| Flicker | why? | 04:34 |
| boontoo | why would you want kde | 04:34 |
| scguy318 | boontoo: some people like it | 04:34 |
| boontoo | odd | 04:34 |
| Flannel | Flicker: Where are you searching? | 04:34 |
| mssever | boontoo: Some people like it | 04:35 |
| oddchild | Hello, does anyone know much about httpd? | 04:35 |
| boontoo | then again some people like windows i guess | 04:35 |
| Bonster | any 1 got linux MCE on ur gnome box yet? | 04:35 |
| ArrPirate | on a side note, why is it that when I'm installing an OS like Linux or Windows or I'm in my BIOS screens a lot of the screen is off of the edge of my monitor and my monitor is unable to adjust to fit the screen? Is this something I can fix or something I have to live with forever? | 04:35 |
| wheredidrealityg | Boontoo: zing. | 04:35 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: its the mc package | 04:35 |
| boontoo | lol | 04:35 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: sudo apt-get install mc | 04:35 |
| mssever | boontoo: And some people like icewm :) | 04:35 |
| oddchild | I have ubuntu, and had apache running for a month. Then it stopped showing the page to people outside the network. I didn't change any settings, just suddenly happened. The Lan is still port forwarding right, as all the other services are going good. Anyone have advice? | 04:36 |
| Jimdb | arrpirate: try pulling the power plug for hte monitor overnight. modern monitors have a memory of what the settings are for any given resolution. | 04:36 |
| mssever | Bonster: Isn't MCE just a set of packages? You could just manually install those packages if you didn't want to do a full install | 04:36 |
| boontoo | mssever: wow the safemode of the 21st century | 04:36 |
| jarrod | i had a comp freeze on the bios. had to call it in. anwser; unplug and hold power to flush static. it worked. | 04:36 |
| Bonster | mssever: from what i no is for KDE only | 04:36 |
| scguy318 | Bonster: dont see why you cant install the KDE libs? | 04:37 |
| boontoo | jarrod: ive never EVER experianced a bios freeze O.O how did it happen | 04:37 |
| ToddEDM | whats the best program to burn an iso? | 04:37 |
| Flicker | scguy318: i know that will work BUT i use to do this via Synaptic why does it not work? | 04:37 |
| scguy318 | ToddEDM: k3b | 04:37 |
| wheredidrealityg | boontoo: Good luck with your install, bedtime for me. | 04:37 |
| mssever | boontoo: I'm actually using icewm right now. It's really fast | 04:37 |
| scguy318 | ToddEDM: cmd-line cdrecord | 04:37 |
| ToddEDM | thank you | 04:37 |
| boontoo | wheredidrealityg: cya | 04:37 |
| wheredidrealityg | Goodnight all. | 04:37 |
| Bonster | scguy318: u install it b4? | 04:37 |
| boontoo | mssever: its not so bad | 04:37 |
| jarrod | boontoo: static charge buildup. possible from a external drive always being on | 04:37 |
| scguy318 | Bonster: no | 04:38 |
| mssever | Bonster: Well, the apps may be KDE apps, but all that means is that you'll end up with KDE libs on your system. You can mix and match all you want with no problems | 04:38 |
| boontoo | jarrod: get one of those rubber straps | 04:38 |
| Flannel | Flicker: Does the mc package show up in synaptic? | 04:38 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: im not sure what your problem is, I see the mc package in Synaptic just fine | 04:38 |
| jarrod | boontoo: im not really into that kind of thing... | 04:38 |
| Bonster | mssever: ill give it a try, i though u could not because they didnt make and packages for gnome | 04:38 |
| Flicker | scguy318: can you please pastebin your source list file? | 04:38 |
| Flicker | if you dont mind? | 04:39 |
| boontoo | jarrod: hahaha not what your thinking, you can get a anti static cord from IT stores | 04:39 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: sure | 04:39 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42778/ | 04:40 |
| dibblego | what package includes the X11 libraries? | 04:40 |
| mssever | Bonster: Gnome and KDE are desktop environments that don't care what programs you use with them. Some people write programs that integrate nicely with one or the other, but they'll run on either provided you have the correct dependencies. And the package manager will ensure that that happens. | 04:40 |
| dcstimm | help me, I have mplayer and a geforcefx 6200 agp card with nvidia drivers and the output of mplayer is all garbled, what can I do!? | 04:40 |
| frederick85 | help i set shift + a to pain fire on the screen with compiz and i turned it off now my shift + a key doesn't print A characters | 04:41 |

| petafile | what n64 emulators are available under ubuntu? | 04:41 |
| scguy318 | Bonster: yep | 04:41 |
| scguy318 | !emulator | 04:41 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about emulator - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:41 |
| scguy318 | petafile: lots I think | 04:41 |
| mssever | Bonster: yes | 04:41 |
| scguy318 | petafile: mupen, MAME, etc. | 04:41 |
| petafile | MAME isn't n64 | 04:42 |
| scguy318 | petafile: true | 04:42 |
| dcstimm | what is the best -vo setting for mplayer? xv or gl2 or something else? | 04:42 |
| mssever | Bonster: Note, however, that your performance will suffer somewhat when using KDE apps on Gnome or vice versa, since you're in effect running part of both environments | 04:42 |
| scguy318 | petafile: a simple google search should give you other apps of interest, and you can fire up Synaptic and look at the Games and Amusement section | 04:43 |

| Optimus55 | hey, is there any way to force an .mdf file to mount in ubuntu? | 04:43 |
| ganjaman | can i upgrade a ubuntu server installation with the desktop version? | 04:43 |
| scguy318 | Optimus55: AcetoneISO2 | 04:43 |
| ganjaman | an* | 04:43 |
| scguy318 | Optimus55: you'll have to find debs for that tho | 04:43 |
| petafile | scguy318: yeah, got it, i'm trying to get something to work with fink, and mupen isn't listed ( on OS X) | 04:43 |
| scguy318 | Optimus: or you could convert the MDF to ISO with mdf2iso | 04:44 |

| dcstimm | hey guys, I want to set alt + q to close my windows, how can I achieve this? | 04:44 |
| mssever | frederick85: Have you logged off, hit <Ctrl><Alt><Backspace> and logged back in? | 04:44 |
| Optimus55 | scguy318: mdf to iso? okay i'll look into them. acetone works well for mdf? | 04:45 |
| frederick85 | mssever: no i'll try it | 04:45 |
| scguy318 | Optimus55: yeah, its a frontend for fuseiso really | 04:45 |
| mssever | dcstimm: In Gnome apps, you can hold your mouse over the appropriate menu entry and hit the key combo you want to change it | 04:45 |
| Optimus55 | scguy318: neither of them are in the reps tho | 04:46 |
| Bonster | is in google | 04:46 |
| dcstimm | mssever, how? | 04:46 |
| mssever | dcstimm: In other apps, it depends on the specific app and/or GUI toolkit | 04:46 |
| BHSPitMonkey | Why should xchat be able to crash X? | 04:47 |
| scguy318 | Optimus55: they aren't, though fuseiso should | 04:47 |
| scguy318 | Optimus55: AcetoneISO2 isnt, there are debs for that | 04:47 |
| dcstimm | mssever, iv done it before, I just want alt+q to close windows | 04:47 |
| Optimus55 | okay | 04:47 |
| mssever | dcstimm: Pull down the menu and hold your mouse over the item, then hit your key combo | 04:47 |
| gluttoy | why is my ubuntu live cd asking for a password? | 04:47 |
| mssever | dcstimm: Also, many/most window managers can do that type of thing | 04:48 |
| PsionicWiz | how do I get my laptop resolution to go higher than 1024X768?? | 04:48 |
| mssever | I think that both metacity and compiz keep such settings in gconf | 04:48 |
| mssever | dcstimm: Now that I think about it, the window manager approach is probably a better one | 04:49 |
| dcstimm | how do i do it? | 04:49 |
| gluttoy | should my live cd ask for a password? | 04:49 |
| scguy318 | gluttoy: not sure, though if you're dealing with the LiveCD user account, its ubuntu/ubuntu | 04:49 |

| mssever | dcstimm: I don't remember the canonical way (I'm running IceWM currently), but if you launch gconf-editor and hunt a bit, you'll probably find something | 04:50 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: nope | 04:50 |
| Bonster | yay | 04:51 |

| scguy318 | Flicker: nope | 04:51 |
| mssever | dcstimm: Are you running Metacity, Compiz, Beryl, some other WM? | 04:51 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: just a simple matter of selecting the package then installing it | 04:51 |
| Flicker | how come i just fresh isntalled and i dont have that | 04:51 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: either via Synaptic or apt-get/aptitude | 04:51 |
| Flicker | yes but when i do synaptic search for example mc i dont get midnight comamnder | 04:52 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: its in the middle of the list | 04:52 |
| scguy318 | Flicker: its just a beautified apt-cache search | 04:52 |

| scguy318 | mssever: it would seem Epiphany isn't working for him | 04:55 |
| IdleOne | mssever: im tryingto get epiphany to start | 04:55 |
| IdleOne | mssever: was working fine yesterday and today nothing | 04:55 |
| scguy318 | ck27: so basically the borders of the window extend past beyond the screen? | 04:55 |
| mssever | IdleOne: scguy318 Oh, did I just jump in the middle of a conversation? | 04:55 |
| scguy318 | ck27: and you cant really reach it to resize? | 04:55 |

| qazwsx | how can I create a dos bootable usb flash drive under ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| ck27 | no its just the top part of the windows like Im using xchat to be in here right now. Xchat is in this huge blue backgroun | 04:56 |
| ck27 | and it takes up half the program | 04:56 |
| scguy318 | ck27: hmm, dunno then :( | 04:57 |

| tclineks | is there anything special about the domain named 'local'? i'm trying to get dnsmasq to automatically answer 127.0.0.1 for *.local -- dig shows it resolving but pings hang. *.local2 or *.(anything) works just fine though. any thoughts? | 04:57 |
| mssever | IdleOne: Have you tried reinstalling epiphany? That often doesn't fix problems, but sometimes it does and it's easy to try | 04:57 |
| IdleOne | mssever: just thought about that myself | 04:57 |
| IdleOne | mssever: going to give it a shot | 04:58 |
| mssever | tclineks: .local causes conflicts with avahi | 04:58 |
| tclineks | mssever: ahh, i see | 04:58 |
| mssever | tclineks: I used to use it, but I've since changed to avoid problems | 04:58 |
| tclineks | mssever: odd that it resolves but doesn't ping =/ | 04:58 |
| crdlb | IdleOne: looks like your dbus session bus isn't running | 04:58 |
| tclineks | any good workaround? | 04:58 |
| IdleOne | crdlb: ok how do I fix that | 04:59 |
| mssever | tclineks: I never experienced those specific problems. My solution was to change all my domains to .mss | 04:59 |
| crdlb | no idea ;) | 04:59 |
| IdleOne | crdlb: hehe | 05:00 |
| ck27 | im gong to upload a screenshot | 05:00 |
| ck27 | to my site | 05:00 |
| IdleOne | gonna try re-installing | 05:00 |
| tclineks | mssever: would it fuck up avahi to change it's domain away from local? | 05:00 |
| crdlb | IdleOne: google seems to confirm my guess | 05:00 |

| scguy318 | Flynsarmy: VLC? | 05:39 |
| Flynsarmy | scguy318: VLC media player | 05:39 |
| scguy318 | Flynsarmy: reason is that VLC doesn't handle smb:// | 05:40 |
| scguy318 | Flynsarmy: whereas Rhythmbox and those other GNOME apps can handle smb:// | 05:40 |
| tehtuuurk | reason is you're using windows :P | 05:40 |
| ToddEDM | scguy318: i do not think it is mounting my drive | 05:40 |

| whyameye | why would it be that suspend doesn't work UNLESS I hibernate 1x first? | 05:40 |
| lukewarm83 | Hello | 05:40 |
| scguy318 | ToddEDM: explain | 05:40 |
| scguy318 | Flynsarmy: a workaround would be to mount the SMB share using smbfs | 05:41 |
| Flynsarmy | tehtuuurk: Hey, on windows everything is simple and easy. on ubuntu every task is a challenge | 05:41 |
| lukewarm83 | My Xgl process is hogging my CPU | 05:41 |
| dxdt | whyameye: interesting problem. My guess would be that the hibernate scripts are killing off a service that is otherwise not killed in suspend to ram and that process is keeping suspend to ram from working | 05:41 |
| ToddEDM | well.. after i typed that in... the cursor just goes down to the next line but i dont get "todd@todd-laptop:~$" | 05:41 |

| DaveyJ | hola! | 05:43 |
| DaveyJ | i think my sound died out of no where | 05:43 |
| scguy318 | Flynsarmy: sudo apt-get install smbfs, then sudo mount -t smbfs //ip/share /mnt/point -o lfs,rw | 05:43 |
| DaveyJ | it was working, now its not, even tried rebooting | 05:43 |
| ToddEDM | when i use the GUI to navigate to the CD/dvdrom it just tells me not able to mount | 05:43 |
| DaveyJ | is there a way to check the sound system | 05:43 |
| scguy318 | Flynsarmy: if you turned the PC off while it's mounted, the unmaintained smbfs would kinda just kill itself, thus preventing you from unmounting it for a bit | 05:43 |
| scguy318 | Flynsarmy: there probably are better solutions | 05:44 |
| Flynsarmy | scguy318: It'd start working again as soon as i turned the pc on? | 05:44 |

| ToddEDM | scguy318: i think i will | 05:45 |
| scguy318 | Flynsarmy: yeah, you'll be prompted for password when you mount I think | 05:45 |

| zetheroo | Crankymonky: so does the problem only effect your HDD if its Hitachi? | 05:58 |

| gogeta | heh | 06:27 |
| gogeta | i dont see all that flod you did with 193 | 06:27 |
| mactimes | sasank: That changes a lot ot things. Then, yes, if you're using IMAP, there IS a problem if 993 is closed. | 06:28 |
| dn4 | dxdt, ok I'll test this out in a bit | 06:28 |
| dn4 | working on something atm | 06:28 |
| murlidhar | sasank: lucky u atleast u have an enabled imap. i still don't have :( | 06:29 |

| sasank | mactimes: did you open up ports for pop3? | 06:29 |

| murlidhar | sjovan: i may be able to help | 06:30 |
| sasank | mactimes: just asking how it works on pop.. if you did not open up any ports for pop... then it should not be necessary for imap | 06:31 |
| sjovan | oh, talk with bloony | 06:31 |
| murlidhar | bloony: what is the problem . just explain it fully . | 06:31 |
| mactimes | sasank: Well, you only have to OPEN ports if you have CLOSED them. | 06:31 |
| sasank | ok | 06:32 |
| sasank | epax: how do I reverse this thing? iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 993 -j ACCEPT | 06:32 |

| needhelp | hello all, i need help to find epson dot matrix printer driver for the following models, epson LQ 2180, LQ 1060, LX 800, does anyone have a link where i can dl them? thank you so much | 06:55 |
| jak1 | it says 'your hardware does not need any restricted drivers' | 06:55 |
| osh_ | Still. I'm looking for how to get bugs pushed back upstream in launchpad.net. Anyone know how to do that? | 06:55 |
| dxdt | I got nothing then | 06:55 |
| mactimes | jak1: What's your display adapter? | 06:55 |
| gvsa123 | drivers drivers drivers | 06:55 |
| lgc__ | riderrr, the point is, terminals exists since the advent of the first time-sharing machines, that is of course, much before any windowing system. | 06:55 |
| Madpilot | osh_, try #launchpad | 06:55 |
| jak1 | ok let me rephrase if i may. how can i slow down the workspace switching effect so that i can see the cube thats flipping? like in this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yx9FgLr9oTk | 06:56 |
| osh_ | gvsa123: Sure. I get that. I've been around linux/unix for so long that everything is pretty much the same, except for some minor details and some tools. I've been a professional unix-admin for a decade or so. | 06:56 |
| jak1 | i realize he's using a touchscreen but is there a way i can drag the cube rotation like that with a mouse? | 06:56 |
| osh_ | gvsa123: Not much relearning to do. ;-) | 06:56 |
| mactimes | lgc__: If you take in consideration that we can look at monitors as "windows" that theory is a bit wrong ^^ | 06:56 |
| osh_ | Madpilot: Thanks. Didn't know that one existed. =) | 06:56 |

| riderrr | ok | 06:57 |
| dxdt | jak1: usually you just hold ctrl+alt+click and drag with mouse | 06:57 |
| gvsa123 | osh_: i guess i'll give it some thought :) | 06:57 |

| jak1 | i'm a total noob but this ubuntu/linux stuff rules | 06:58 |

| new_linx | hello | 06:59 |
| Radio1 | MicroSoft is now adjar. | 06:59 |
| new_linx | i need help sharing files between my Ubuntu and Xp..... | 06:59 |
| osh_ | !samba > new_linx | 07:00 |
| Leeds | so... apparently Stephen Fry uses Ubuntu (as well as XP, Vista, OSX, and sometimes Fedora and Yellow Dog) | 07:00 |
| NeoTubNinja | linux is awesome. nothing more fun than just opening up a terminal just to type | 07:00 |
| new_linx | i've been trying samba for a while now >osh_ | 07:00 |
| lgc__ | new_linx, transfer on the same machine between Xp and Linux? | 07:01 |
| Biju | By disabling ACPI am I going to lose any features on my system other than HIbernation (like ability to use network cards, shutting down my computer etc?) | 07:01 |
| Leeds | and in the meantime, I'm going to ask - where is the appropriate place to put odd routing config to run at boot-time on Ubuntu? I'm a slackware person myself, but I need to setup an Ubuntu box a few hundred miles away... | 07:01 |
| new_linx | two different machines lgc_ | 07:02 |
| Flynsarmy | NeoTubNinja: lol | 07:02 |
| new_linx | i'm using a crossover twisted pair cable to network them | 07:02 |
| lgc__ | new_linx, then I suppose you want Samba. | 07:02 |
| NeoTubNinja | what? lol | 07:03 |
| new_linx | i installed samba, edited the smb.conf file and i'm still not able to share files | 07:04 |
| kidicarus | would anyone happen to know why totem's default aspect ratio is so screwy?? | 07:04 |
| kidicarus | as in tall & skinny | 07:04 |
| lgc__ | new_linx, that sounds interesting... would you mind explaining the hardware part? | 07:05 |

| Ward1983 | how can i share my internetconnection with a device connected to my desktop trough USB? (the connection with the PC is allready working fine) | 07:05 |

| b1n42y | Ward1983, maybe ports and firewall | 07:07 |
| Epox_Ardere__ | How can i view dmesg | 07:07 |
| sjovan | is there any way you can get the terminal to always stay on the top? | 07:07 |
| Leeds | Epox_Ardere__: uh, run "dmesg" | 07:07 |
| sjovan | just figured it out | 07:07 |
| Epox_Ardere__ | sorry I'm fairly new at this | 07:07 |
| sjovan | nwm :) | 07:07 |
| Ward1983 | b1n42y, i tried trough a line with iptables, but apperantly that didnt do the trick | 07:08 |
| NeoTubNinja | make your terminal "white on black" | 07:08 |
| b1n42y | sjovan, right clickon terminal window name | 07:08 |
| sjovan | i found out of it | 07:08 |
| NeoTubNinja | thats what the cool kids are doing | 07:08 |

| jak1 | hey anybody, whats the diff between terminal and konsole | 07:10 |
| LinuxNIT | ATI on the laptop (which also lost xgl support) but the desktop is nvidia | 07:10 |
| jak1 | ? | 07:10 |
| Ward1983 | b1n42y, no problem thanx for trying$ | 07:10 |
| b1n42y | trying to take workload off more experienced users | 07:10 |
| MilitantPotato | Suspend is broken on Gutsy for ATI if you use restricted drivers | 07:10 |
| b1n42y | MilitantPotato, LinuxNIT thats what i was going to say..but wasnt sure | 07:11 |
| LinuxNIT | MilitantPotato, this is just shutting off the display, the computer is not suspending | 07:11 |
| Flynsarmy | What's the difference between the NVidia restricted driver and the ones that appear in add/remove programs? | 07:11 |
| b1n42y | i have to hold power button on my tablet pc...... | 07:11 |
| LinuxNIT | MilitantPotato, plus it does the same thing on my desktop with nvidia | 07:12 |
| Ademan | anyone know how to view images in a strictly command line environment? (my friend is sshed into a machine with X and needs to view an image which is on the server) | 07:12 |

| Leeds | anyone? where to put manual routing setup for boot time? | 07:14 |
| Madpilot | Flynsarmy, a bunch of ban removals, actually | 07:14 |
| Madpilot | Flynsarmy, really old bans - like two months old, and the sort that won't work anymore anyway, probably. | 07:15 |

| MilitantPotato | If not, you can install it from synaptic | 07:20 |
| MilitantPotato | it loads automatically in gutsy | 07:20 |
| LinuxNIT | when i start compiz it says no xgl support | 07:20 |
| LinuxNIT | and compiz fails | 07:20 |
| LinuxNIT | was working fine before the upgrade | 07:20 |
| MilitantPotato | is XGL running? | 07:20 |

| LinuxNIT | MilitantPotato, how do icheck? | 07:21 |
| MilitantPotato | Sys>admin>system monitor | 07:21 |
| ripper | could anyone suggest me a journal software for ubuntu 7.10 that's similar to the journal component in microsoft outlook? | 07:21 |
| MilitantPotato | look for XGL running | 07:22 |
| MilitantPotato | there's an easier way but I forget the terminal command. | 07:22 |
| bbyman | linuxNIT, uninstall your compiz-config-settings manager then reinstall it | 07:22 |
| b1n42y | Ste-Foy, ask your question and hope someone has the answer | 07:22 |
| Ste-Foy | I'm already asked my question b1n42y | 07:23 |
| b1n42y | sigh | 07:23 |
| bbyman | LinuxNIT, open a terminal and type "glxgears", can you see the gears running? If not, your video card needs 3d enabled | 07:23 |
| LinuxNIT | MilitantPotato, i dont see it | 07:23 |
| LinuxNIT | bbyman, yes the gears run | 07:23 |
| MilitantPotato | LinuxNIT is restricted drivers enabled for your laptop? | 07:24 |
| LinuxNIT | it dosent register one for the video | 07:24 |
| MilitantPotato | there's no checkbox for it? | 07:24 |
| LinuxNIT | but it is using the radeon driver in xorg.con | 07:24 |
| MilitantPotato | ah | 07:24 |
| MilitantPotato | LinuxNIT try this | 07:25 |
| LinuxNIT | nope no check box | 07:25 |

| ripper | no alternatives in ubuntu for microsoft outlook's journal? i had been searching around but couldn't find anything | 07:25 |
| ripper | hope someone could suggest me something | 07:26 |
| Leeds | third and last time I'll ask: I need to setup some custom routing at boot time - where should I put the route commands? | 07:26 |
| b1n42y | try it and u shall see | 07:26 |
| LinuxNIT | try what? what do you want me to change? | 07:26 |
| MilitantPotato | bbyman: any idea how to fix it? | 07:26 |
| bbyman | check if xgl is running first | 07:26 |
| LinuxNIT | already did | 07:26 |
| MilitantPotato | modprobe xgl ? | 07:27 |

| jscinoz | is there any way to stop my nvidia card from automatically changing clock speeds, (i.e. 2d and 3d presets), its doing this randomly and messes up compiz + games when it switches to the slower speed | 07:27 |
| MilitantPotato | jscinoz: nvidia-glx-settings ? | 07:28 |
| jscinoz | MiliantPotato, cant find anything in nvidia-settings that does what i want | 07:29 |
| MilitantPotato | LinuxNIT in terminal type compiz --replace | 07:29 |
| MilitantPotato | then pastebin the output | 07:30 |
| LinuxNIT | are you sure xgl will show up in the system monitor MilitantPotato i dont even see it on my desktop which is running compiz at the moment (and yes i checked show all processes) | 07:30 |
| MilitantPotato | !pastebin | 07:30 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 07:30 |

| tag- | MilitantPotato: if I do it while dragging a window (ctrl+alt+shift+left) I can move two workspaces from one before coming back to it. It goes from one, to four (which is right), then from four to two, then from two back to one. And if I keep doing it, it will stop coming back to one and just toggle between four and two. | 07:49 |

| MilitantPotato | tag join #compiz-fusion | 07:50 |

| warbler | penba: there should be at the login a kde session so in the menu there will be an option to add to it | 07:50 |

| Aridhol | how can I set the default application when double clicking on a file in archive manager, it's set to firefox but I want it set to klibido | 07:53 |
| warbler | penba: sorry - in gnome it is in the main menu - applications - sytem(which I left out) - preferences - asessions - startup | 07:54 |
| warbler | *seesions | 07:54 |
| warbler | *sessions | 07:54 |
| MilitantPotato | linux | 07:54 |
| penba | warbler: thatf for gnome, though. I want it for GDM | 07:54 |
| MilitantPotato | sudo apt-get check | 07:54 |
| burwaco | brb, going to restart session without the restricted driver manager, maybe it screws things up... | 07:54 |
| warbler | penba: GDM=gnome | 07:54 |
| warbler | penba: KDM=kde | 07:55 |
| penba | warbler: no, gdm = gdm.. gnome = gnome. I can run gnome with kdm and kde with gdm for all I care | 07:55 |
| LinuxNIT-II | MilitantPotato, no errors | 07:55 |
| MilitantPotato | Linux open synaptic | 07:55 |
| MilitantPotato | search for compiz | 07:56 |
| MilitantPotato | I'll send you a picture real quick | 07:56 |
| warbler | penba: that is the method in feisty to add to startup - are you gutsy? | 07:56 |
| penba | warbler: It doesnt matter. It'll add to gnome's startup either way. I need something similar to adding to /etc/init.d/gdm | 07:57 |
| penba | warbler: byt adding to gnome's I mean it won't add to gdm's | 07:57 |
| fargiolas | hi, after the gutsy update when i try to access to the vfat partition it takes some time (5 seconds?) to show up files or even to do a "df".. is it a known problem? maybe some fstab option? | 07:57 |

| warbler | penba: try adding in /etc/rc5.d | 07:58 |
| fargiolas | during this disk activity increase a lot | 07:58 |
| warbler | penba: did you edit your main menu and remove sessions? | 07:59 |
| jscinoz | is there any way to stop my nvidia card from automatically changing clock speeds, (i.e. 2d and 3d presets), its doing this randomly and messes up compiz + games when it switches to the slower speed | 08:00 |
| MilitantPotato | i thought init.d was the scripts? | 08:00 |
| warbler | MilitantPotato: yhe rc's are the runlevels | 08:01 |
| LinuxNIT-II | MilitantPotato, well i removed two that you didnt have that i did (maybe leftover from when i had it with fiesty) and now compiz runs but its looks like crap. Its really jumpy | 08:01 |
| MilitantPotato | Linux you'll probably need to get newer drivers. | 08:01 |
| MilitantPotato | !ati | 08:01 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 08:01 |
| MilitantPotato | follow that, hopefully it works. | 08:02 |
| LinuxNIT-II | it ran fine under fiesty | 08:02 |
| Flynsarmy | Are those binary drivers any better than the restricted drivers? | 08:02 |
| MilitantPotato | it's probably using different drivers? | 08:02 |
| LinuxNIT-II | no | 08:02 |
| inversekinetix | can someone please help me, i just plugged in a usb2.0 HD and it accessed it, i then chose 'unmount' and plugged in another usb2.0 drive, it wont mount any usb drives now, help! i need the files for work | 08:02 |
| MilitantPotato | Flynsarmy yea, sort of. | 08:02 |
| LinuxNIT-II | same xorg setting anyway | 08:02 |

| Flynsarmy | I'm hestitant to do anything graphics-card related. i decided to change the 'nvidia' driver in grpahics setttings to the one for my graphics card (8600GT) and it made my resolution 640x480 and refused to change back to nvidia | 08:04 |
| LinuxNIT-II | :-/ | 08:04 |

| _dillinger | hi, my printer only prints blank pages | 08:05 |
| _dillinger | it also prints them into blank PDF files | 08:05 |
| unimatrix9 | hello and good morning | 08:05 |
| _dillinger | this came after I upgraded to gutsy | 08:05 |
| _dillinger | good morning everyone | 08:05 |
| warbler | inversekinetix: easy way is to reboot and don't unmount - just unplug | 08:05 |
| unimatrix9 | any one playing quake wars already? | 08:05 |
| unimatrix9 | on linux.. | 08:06 |
| Flynsarmy | MilitantPotato: Yea but there is one in the graphics list that was for my card in the choose driver by model section. I figured it'd be more tailored to my card | 08:06 |
| inversekinetix | warbler: i did reboot | 08:06 |
| fargiolas | no answer? the slow access happens when opening the drive from gnome or doing a df but not when doing a ls | 08:06 |
| Flynsarmy | MilitantPotato: Instead it just led to a world of hurt | 08:06 |
| fargiolas | and after the first time it happens no more | 08:06 |
| warbler | inversekinetix: with the usb drive connected? | 08:06 |
| _dillinger | I disabled apparmour, nothing changed | 08:07 |
| inversekinetix | warbler: with and without | 08:07 |
| fargiolas | it seems something related with free space information retrieving | 08:07 |
| Aridhol | how can I set the default application when double clicking on a file in archive manager, it's set to firefox but I want it set to klibido | 08:07 |
| warbler | inversekinetix: have a look in the file - /media - and see if it there then we'll remount it | 08:08 |
| gordonjcp | since upgrading to Gutsy, I haven't got a "theme" option in my system->preferences menu | 08:08 |
| inversekinetix | warbler fixed it thanks | 08:08 |
| warbler | inversekinetix: how? | 08:08 |
| gordonjcp | what would I type on the command line to change themes? | 08:08 |
| inversekinetix | warbler: pulled all the jumpers from the HDs. are you sure you can just unplug things without unmounting them? | 08:09 |
| burwaco | MilitantPotato, well, I disabled the restricted driver manager in "sessions" and restarted gdm, and here I am, driver works... | 08:09 |
| DudeD | Hi, when i add a interface eth0:1 to /etc/network/interfaces and try to bring it up i get a "Cannot assign requested address" error? | 08:09 |

| inversekinetix | warbler: cool thanks. heres another question for you. I want to be able to search my root dir. but it wont allow me to do a root search, how can i enable that permission>? | 08:10 |
| MilitantPotato | burwaco: reconfigure xorg | 08:11 |
| inversekinetix | warbler: UNSAFEDRIVEREMOVAL!!!!! please use the EJECT function. lol, that answers it | 08:11 |
| warbler | inversekinetix: a root search? - does your user have admin permissions? | 08:11 |
| MilitantPotato | burwaco: after disabling restricted drivers from Sys>admin>Rest drv mang | 08:11 |
| inversekinetix | warbler I have admin permission but the file icon is a lock | 08:11 |
| KeineAhnung | Is anyone here a female from the UK and have a microphone? I am composing a song and could really use a voice like that | 08:12 |

| gordonjcp | KeineAhnung: get to the back of the queue | 08:12 |
| warbler | inversekinetix: I have a panel applet for search that lets me look everywhere if that helps | 08:12 |
| KeineAhnung | gordonjcp: what? | 08:12 |
| inversekinetix | warbler is it easy to use? | 08:13 |
| gordonjcp | KeineAhnung: I'm actually considering changing the name of our band to "Female Vocalist Wanted" | 08:13 |
| warbler | inversekinetix: what happens when you click the locked file? | 08:13 |
| KeineAhnung | The voice does not need to be able to sing | 08:13 |
| KeineAhnung | just speak | 08:13 |
| unimatrix9 | KeineAhnung : ask your friendly neighbour , or go to ubuntu-offtopic , there they can talk to you about these issue's | 08:13 |
| KeineAhnung | gordonjcp: haha | 08:13 |
| warbler | inversekinetix: just need the file name | 08:13 |
| inversekinetix | warbler i can open an browse all the files but the search wont work | 08:13 |
| KeineAhnung | unimatrix9: alright. i'm just trying to ask in high volume channels :P in hopes of finding one | 08:13 |
| unimatrix9 | o | 08:14 |
| unimatrix9 | k | 08:14 |
| gordonjcp | KeineAhnung: perhaps one of the linux audio channels | 08:14 |
| warbler | inversekinetix: what search are you using? | 08:14 |
| burwaco | MilitantPotato, I disabled restricted drivers in preferences > sessions, and restarted gdm, the session started and ati.com driver works... | 08:14 |
| gordonjcp | KeineAhnung: or use a pitch shifter, it worked for Thomas Dolby | 08:14 |

| TAsn-ghost | what did you try to do? | 08:20 |
| warbler | inversekinetix: add a drawer then right click the drawer | 08:20 |
| burwaco | TAsn-ghost, I used the driver from ati.com... | 08:20 |

| TAsn | should it be any more difficult than that? | 08:21 |
| burwaco | TAsn, brb | 08:21 |

| warbler | k | 08:22 |
| TAsn | I don't think I even need to change the existing (restricted drivers modules) xorg.conf | 08:22 |
| TAsn | or am I wrong? | 08:22 |
| MilitantPotato | TAsn: but not MUCH harder, just disable restricted, uninstall XGL, compile, install, update kernel, edit xorg for the stuff it needs, and enable restricted | 08:22 |
| TAsn | MilitantPotato, I should re enable restricted afterwards? | 08:23 |
| TAsn | why is that? | 08:23 |

| burwaco | MilitantPotato, ok, but in the first paragraph, they tell to remove fglrx from modules blacklist, and in the second you have to blacklist fglrx... | 08:33 |
| burwaco | MilitantPotato, tha ati driver... | 08:33 |
| cimot_niez_bdg | hi | 08:34 |
| macogw | burwaco: i think he meant output from running that in the terminal | 08:34 |
| malianx | macogw: I couldn't get the one in apt to work, but the one from sf works with the sun jre that's in apt | 08:34 |
| macogw | oo yeah thats true | 08:34 |
| burwaco | macogw, the output says it's using the ati driver :) | 08:34 |
| macogw | i was referring to the one that's packaged and in here, but i guess i shouldve specified | 08:35 |
| macogw | burwaco: oh | 08:35 |
| MilitantPotato | burwaco: that first paragraph is if you need to remove the new ATI drivers. | 08:35 |

| MilitantPotato | burwaco: probably because it's trying to load the old drivers | 08:37 |
| VagaStorm | I'm runing the installer, and selected xfs( I whant to test it since it has the ability to expand the filesystem) and the installer said I should use lilo, but I never got a chise to use lilo.... at lest not before the instalation process started.. | 08:38 |
| xipietotec | dgjones, the article was immediately clarified in the comments on /. that it's not ubuntu's fault | 08:38 |

| MilitantPotato | acuster: I believe the official responce is Ubuntu Devs don't want to override the manufactures settings, since they know their hardware better. | 08:39 |

| thanius | Nopes, nvidia | 08:40 |
| MilitantPotato | no idea then. | 08:40 |
| thanius | I tried to install the 386-kernel because I read somewhere that it might have been a SMP-bug in the 686-kernel, but I still get high loads | 08:41 |
| xipietotec | dgjones, yeah, its a device specific problem, so it depends on what the manufacturer set up in ACPI | 08:41 |

| Flynsarmy | inversekinetix: I don't know. Could be. New to linux. Don't know how anything works | 08:42 |
| thanius | Flynsarmy, rather | 08:42 |
| burwaco | brb | 08:42 |

| thanius | I never had high load during Feisty, this is Gutsy-related | 08:43 |
| xipietotec | how do you get firefox to render an html document that's been compressed into .tgz? | 08:43 |
| Flynsarmy | Nothing is using any CPU in system monitor other than system monitor and firefox. both of which are only takin gup about 2-4%. Doesn't anywhere near make up for the usage specified on the resources tab | 08:43 |
| inversekinetix | weird | 08:44 |
| thanius | Flynsarmy, What CPU are you using? | 08:44 |
| X-Sleepy-X | . | 08:45 |
| Flynsarmy | thanius: Core 2 Duo T7100 | 08:45 |
| thanius | Flynsarmy, I've got a core 2 also, the amd-one | 08:45 |
| Flynsarmy | thanius: Oh mines an Intel | 08:46 |
| thanius | Flynsarmy, yeah, you mentioned that | 08:47 |
| thanius | Flynsarmy, you're using gutsy? | 08:47 |
| thanius | I started having these problems when I upgraded | 08:47 |
| Flynsarmy | thanius: Yes, gutsy | 08:47 |
| macogw | flynsarmy: AMD doesnt make a Core 2 | 08:48 |
| MilitantPotato | is this correct? sudo hdparm -m16-M254 /dev/hda | 08:48 |
| macogw | flynsarmy: they have a few dual core processors, but Core 2 Solo and Core 2 Duo are the names of intel processors | 08:48 |
| Flynsarmy | macogw: I said i have an intel. Thanius said he had an AMD | 08:48 |
| macogw | flynsarmy: ......damn i cant read | 08:48 |
| macogw | thanius: go read what i just said to him | 08:48 |
| ginutza | buna | 08:49 |
| macogw | flynsarmy: run "top" in the command line. is trackerd in there using a lot of CPU? | 08:50 |
| thanius | macogw, Core Duo is the product name of Intel's dualcored CPUs. AMD has a dual core called x2 | 08:50 |
| Flynsarmy | macogw: No. XOrg is using between 4-10%. Gnome system monitor is using around 5-10, Firefox 2-6 | 08:51 |
| macogw | thanius: right, so it wouldnt be Core 2. it'd be Turion64 X2 or Athlon64 X2 | 08:52 |
| macogw | flynsarmy: ok. sometimes top shows things different than system monitor does, and ive noticed trackerd can use a LOT of cpu even though it's niced to 19 (which is weird) | 08:52 |
| Flynsarmy | macogw: Still the usage on resources tab seems to be higher than what's displaying in top. Maybe it's just laggage | 08:53 |
| Agent_bob | i have a bit of a complex question, if i have ubuntu installed without a partition and have one hd that has a partition but it's not the first hd (i.e. not the boot disk) can grub be installed so that it will start from the mbr and then read it's files from the disk with a partition and then boot another disk that has no partition ? | 08:53 |
| Agent_bob | can that be done ? | 08:53 |
| thanius | Anyways, why is Xorg hogging cpu now again? | 08:53 |
| macogw | flynsarmy: top only shows the top things, and it can show just your user's stuff or everything. system monitor doesnt show root processes by default, either, i dont think | 08:53 |
| macogw | thanius: desktop effects can do that... | 08:53 |
| macogw | thanius: well, desktop effects with yucky drivers...or even just the yucky drivers | 08:54 |
| thanius | macogw, but it didn't in feisty? | 08:54 |
| moonie | could anyone help with a sound issue? I cant play any video or music atm....I apologise for my noobness | 08:54 |

| Enselic | What would I pipe output to if I wanted to replace newlines with spaces? | 08:54 |
| Agent_bob | Enselic sed | 08:55 |
| thanius | macogw, can I downgrade then? | 08:55 |
| moonie | and rythembox it seems :( | 08:55 |
| Agent_bob | Enselic or tr | 08:55 |
| macogw | thanius: depends on the driver, i think. if it's ati's binary, not sure how that gets installed outside the distro. if it's nvidia's binary, compile an older one | 08:56 |

| teclaspresas | my effects doesn't work... why??? my grafic board is ati randeon 8550 | 08:58 |
| redheat | hi everyone.. | 08:58 |
| redheat | just asking if someone can help me? | 08:58 |
| macogw | thanius: feisty's drivers were compiled against feisty's kernel, not against gutsy's, so they wont work | 08:58 |
| macogw | !ask | redheat | 08:59 |
| ubotu | redheat: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 08:59 |
| thanius | macogw, then I'll just grab the ones from nvidia.com | 08:59 |
| redheat | I installed ubuntu on my laptop, and right now I formatted and removed all partitions, yet I still | 08:59 |
| Enselic | Agent_bob: I tried sed but I don't get it to work: echo -e "line one\nline two" | sed "s/\n/ /" | 08:59 |
| Agent_bob | Enselic tr would be easier for a beginner, blah | tr -- '\n' ' ' | 08:59 |
| redheat | right, but can I ask you not to ask me to not ask a question about asking a question.... | 08:59 |
| Enselic | Agent_bob: thanks, but I'd rather like to know why that sed doesn't work | 08:59 |
| warbler | and I still.... | 09:00 |
| redheat | can not compute..trrr..shh.... | 09:00 |
| redheat | lol | 09:00 |
| redheat | ok..hereś the issue..I need to get rid of grup | 09:00 |
| Agent_bob | Enselic dubble quotes and sed's syntax sed is complex | 09:00 |
| macogw | Enselic: ive only ever used sed on files, but since it likes them at the end of the command, it might need | xargs sed instead of | sed | 09:00 |
| adhoc | echo -e "line one\nline two" | sed -e "s/\n/ /" | 09:00 |
| macogw | Enselic: or what Agent_bob said | 09:00 |
| adhoc | -e is missing | 09:00 |
| redheat | as I said earlier, I formatted and removed all partitions, yet I still get that grup error Grub Loading stage 1.5, Grub loading error 22 | 09:00 |
| Agent_bob | Enselic try it with single quotes | 09:00 |
| inversekinetix | im so happy that i got quake3 to run | 09:01 |
| redheat | how can I get rid of grub completely | 09:01 |
| teclaspresas | !ask my effects doesn't work why??? he said:" the composite... bla bla bla" and how i can put on?? gb is ati randeon 9550 | 09:01 |
| warbler | redheat: formatting all the hard drive will remove ubuntu and therefore grub | 09:01 |
| Enselic | Agent_bob: nope, doesn't work | 09:01 |
| macogw | redheat: grub isnt on a partition, it's on the MBR. you get rid of it by putting something else on the MBR, like Windows' ntldr | 09:01 |
| redheat | yet..and this is the wonderful the thing, the grub is not gone | 09:01 |
| teclaspresas | !ask | 09:01 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 09:01 |
| redheat | ohhh...ok | 09:01 |
| macogw | redheat: if you want to keep ubuntu, then you need to keep grub though. have you looked up what error 22 is? | 09:01 |
| teclaspresas | !my effects doesn't work | 09:02 |
| redheat | now youŕe talking..the only I get rid of it is to replace with another operating system, but isn the MBR | 09:02 |
| redheat | no to be honest | 09:02 |
| macogw | redheat: it might be that its looking in the old place for your /boot/grub/menu.lst and since you moved partitions and stuff, it doesnt know where to look now | 09:02 |
| macogw | redheat: you can reinstall it from the Super GRUB Disk | 09:02 |
| Nallep | redheat: you can do dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda (a or b or c, whatever your hard drive happens to be) | 09:03 |
| warbler | teclaspresas: putting - ! - in asks the bot a question - what are you trying to do? | 09:03 |
| tarelerulz | I got some more ram for my dell inspiron 5100 and Instlalled it and it will not boot into into grub with it much less linux | 09:03 |
| redheat | the question is, isn't (it) supposed to go when I format and departition my system? | 09:03 |
| Nallep | redheat, that will write zero all over the MBR | 09:03 |
| redheat | ok | 09:03 |
| redheat | ok | 09:03 |
| redheat | this is plain new to me..like most other things.. | 09:04 |
| Nallep | redheat: if you just format a partition, the MBR still wont be formatted | 09:04 |
| redheat | wow.. | 09:04 |
| warbler | !grub | 09:04 |
| ubotu | 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 | 09:04 |
| redheat | how about removing partitions.. | 09:04 |
| Nallep | redheat: you need a partition editor or just zero it out | 09:05 |
| warbler | grub lives in /boot - removing /boot removes grub - yes? | 09:05 |
| redheat | shouldn't that handle the issue of grub and MBR alltogether...I used gparted, ubuntu's partitin manager.. | 09:05 |
| Agent_bob | warbler no. | 09:05 |
| redheat | but really thanks for the info... | 09:05 |
| moonie | does anyone know of any probs setting up the sound fiesty fawn? | 09:05 |
| GreyGhost | having troubles with deluge and 7.04 :( | 09:05 |
| moonie | anything involving sound crashes for me | 09:05 |
| warbler | !sound | 09:06 |
| ubotu | 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).

| Nallep | warbler: sort of, the MBR still contains the boot loader, but will crap out when it can't find /boot | 09:06 |

| warbler | k | 09:06 |
| burwaco | hmm | 09:06 |
| redheat | ok..thank you so much guys..truely thankful for your help..Ubuto, Nallep and macogw..thank you all for your help..I can still thank you right? | 09:06 |
| Agent_bob | warbler removing /boot removes part of the installed GRUB and the kernel/initramfs pairs there is also the MBR that contains the portion of grub that bios first loads and the rest of the package installed in /usr/share | 09:06 |
| Nallep | !thanks | 09:07 |
| ubotu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 09:07 |
| redheat | lol | 09:07 |
| burwaco | MilitantPotato, that didn't do it..., question: How can I know what driver I'm using right now ? am I using the driver from the repos or the one from ati.com ? | 09:07 |
| redheat | lol | 09:07 |
| redheat | ok | 09:07 |

| redheat | lol | 09:07 |
| redheat | have a nice day and take care | 09:07 |
| warbler | Agent_bob: if there is no /boot/menu.lst then you won't know if grub is there? | 09:07 |
| Agent_bob | warbler removing the package removes all except the part in the MBR | 09:08 |
| Agent_bob | warbler incorrect | 09:08 |
| burwaco | How can I know what ATI driver I'm using right now ? am I using the driver from the repos or the one from ati.com ? | 09:08 |
| Agent_bob | warbler if there is no menu.lst then you wont get a menu and the system will be unbootable | 09:08 |
| MilitantPotato | ./dev/sdb: | 09:08 |

| fdr | er... my clock didn't change automatically with the daylight saving -- any suggestion about how to debug the issue, please? thanks! | 09:09 |
| Nallep | warbler: the boid will still load the MBR boot loader, but the boot loader will stop there, cause it can't find its configuration, cause it's gone | 09:09 |
| macogw | warbler: grub will still be on the mbr and do the "grub...loading...." thing then go "zomg the partition with the menu is gone!!! *die*" | 09:09 |
| Nallep | bios* | 09:09 |
| Agent_bob | warbler you'll get something like GR........ maybe some error numbers | 09:09 |
| warbler | Agent_bob: my point - no menu then no notification of grub | 09:09 |
| === indrek is now known as intsarts | ||
| MilitantPotato | warbler: yep macogw is right, for me it said "grub grub grub grub" over and over | 09:09 |

| VagaStorm | where in the instalation can I select to use lilo boot loader, I dont seem to get that option anywhere :( | 09:10 |
| warbler | Agent_bob: never wiped a disk then tried to boot it - so just checking | 09:10 |
| MilitantPotato | burwaco: fglrxinfo | 09:10 |
| Agent_bob | warbler how are you wiping it ? | 09:11 |
| ramvi | How do I run sound through my computer? I've connected the wii in the line in 3,5mm and want to use the speakers in the machine | 09:11 |
| MilitantPotato | sudo hdparm -W1 /dev/*** enabled write caching, nice little speed boost. | 09:11 |
| burwaco | MilitantPotato, ok, what should be different there when using the one from repos ? | 09:11 |
| macogw | VagaStorm: you cant | 09:11 |
| warbler | Agent_bob: if I format a disk I add a new OS before I boot it - no point otherwise | 09:11 |
| macogw | VagaStorm: ubuntu uses grub | 09:11 |
| MilitantPotato | OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.0.6958 Release) | 09:12 |
| MilitantPotato | Is the new ATI's | 09:12 |
| VagaStorm | but it tels me I should use lilo due to me selecting xfs file system O.o | 09:12 |
| macogw | VagaStorm: *maybe* the text installer has LILO, but the GUI installer doesnt | 09:12 |
| gerro | trying to copy files over from 7.04 to my 7.10 install but no clue how to setup grub for more than one OS. Therefor I am using nfs to another comp to keep those files. But I broke the nfs listing on menu so like how do I install nfs and set it up? | 09:12 |
| MilitantPotato | VagaStorm: why xfs? ext3 is better isn't it? | 09:12 |
| Nallep | warbler: technically your bios will think your computer has booted, cause the bios successfully passed control of the boot sequence onto something else (the MBR boot loader) but it wont proceed any further. If you examine the first 512 bytes of the hard drive, you will still see the bootloader sitting in there, but it can't pass control of the boot sequence onto anything else. | 09:12 |
| VagaStorm | I whanted to test xfs since it has the ability to expand the filesystem while its live... but I'll just go for ext3 then :p | 09:13 |
| Agent_bob | warbler you probably aren't talking about "formatting a disk" but rather "formatting a partition on the disk" so all we have told you is still correct. however i didn't notice anyone mention the way to fix the MBR which is normally to install something else M$ maybe... | 09:13 |
| gerro | maybe if I completely trash grub on this one hard drive it won't try to boot from it... | 09:13 |
| warbler | Nallep: redheat was asking how to remove grub - I just threw my two cents worth in | 09:14 |
| murlidhar | celeron 360 does it support i386.iso | 09:14 |
| ramvi | How do I run sound through (line in to speakers) the machine? | 09:14 |
| macogw | Agent_bob: i said that. i said grub will stay until you replace it, like with windows ntldr | 09:14 |
| gerro | Agent_bob: just use dd or wipe to remove first 512kb from hard drive | 09:14 |
| Nallep | Agent_bob: the easiest way to clear out your MBR is to just zero out the first 512 bytes of the hard drive with dd | 09:14 |
| warbler | Agent_bob: trying to add to redheats question from earlier | 09:14 |
| macogw | murlidhar: yes | 09:14 |
| MilitantPotato | murlidhar: is it an i386 CPU? | 09:14 |
| Agent_bob | macogw ok. i just didn't see it. | 09:15 |
| MilitantPotato | Yea, so it will :) | 09:15 |
| macogw | murlidhar: i386 works for anything that's intel or amd | 09:15 |
| MilitantPotato | but it will be very, very, slow. | 09:15 |
| murlidhar | i don't know MilitantPotato | 09:15 |
| murlidhar | macogw: it is intel | 09:15 |
| MilitantPotato | i386 started after the 8088 era | 09:15 |
| macogw | murlidhar: i know. you said "celeron" | 09:15 |
| murlidhar | thanks | 09:15 |
| macogw | celery processors! | 09:15 |
| Agent_bob | yeah well. my question is still can i install GRUB on this box with the partition setup that i have, can it boot this thing or not ? | 09:16 |
| MilitantPotato | Agent_bob: yep | 09:16 |
| MilitantPotato | Agent_bob: just edit grub to point to the OS's, and it will load it. | 09:16 |
| gerro | murlidhar mcogw: i386 works for anything that isn't fruit oriented (apple). But i386 does *not* yield performance benefits, i686 hence i"x86" see 6 and 3 gone. i686 is latest (pentium 1-2 don't work with it) | 09:16 |
| Agent_bob | MilitantPotato are you sure ? you do know that grub can't be installed without a partition don't you ? | 09:16 |
| burwaco | is there anyone using the ATI restricted drivers trough the restricted driver manager ? | 09:17 |
| Agent_bob | MilitantPotato i'm talking about installing grub not editing the menu.lst | 09:17 |
| MilitantPotato | Agent_bob: why would you install it to an unpartitioned disk? | 09:17 |
| MilitantPotato | Trying to boot blank platters? | 09:17 |
| macogw | gerro: i386 wont work with SPARC either :p | 09:17 |
| Agent_bob | MilitantPotato im just strange that way. | 09:17 |
| gerro | burwaco: ati= open source driver for earlier cards, flgrx= no its not a lame name written by gnu its actually ATI company, radeon- works with all ati cards with "radeon" anywhere in their name. | 09:18 |
| murlidhar | macogw: actually there is a user whose installation is not completed, and his installation windows closes after 94% while stops at "configuring boot loader" | 09:18 |
| warbler | who boots a freshly formatted drive? | 09:18 |

| MilitantPotato | Agent_bob: if hdb isn't partioned where is linux installed? | 09:19 |
| murlidhar | gerro: does it yield performance | 09:19 |
| Agent_bob | MilitantPotato on hda | 09:19 |
| macogw | gerro: i could go look at debian.org and start listing architectures :p | 09:19 |
| Agent_bob | err | 09:19 |
| gerro | murlidhar: i386 kernel doesn't give performance benefit, you'd be better off getting kernel source and doing menu config then recompiling it, try reading gentoo handbook most it applies to ubuntu with good info on that | 09:19 |
| Agent_bob | MilitantPotato on hdb | 09:19 |
| macogw | gerro: like ARM and MIPS | 09:19 |

| gerro | murlidhar: how much memory you use? what driver? minimalize your kernel to only run what you need and you'll see huge performance jump | 09:20 |

| MilitantPotato | Agent_bob: you're distracting people from helping the people who really need it. | 09:21 |
| brade1 | i am using ubuntu 7.10 on vitrtualbox and i cannot install aMSN | 09:21 |
| brade1 | does anyone know how? | 09:22 |
| Agent_bob | Nallep so grub will have to be installed onto hdc1 or hdc2 | 09:22 |
| burwaco | gerro, I'm no gui man... everything is done in terminal... | 09:22 |
| macogw | brade1: it has an autopackage | 09:22 |
| brade1 | where can i get that?? | 09:22 |
| blEsseD | I need games | 09:22 |
| blEsseD | I neede games!!!!!! | 09:22 |
| macogw | brade1: http://www.amsn-project.net/linux-downloads.php | 09:23 |
| brade1 | im a newbie to ubuntu so i have no idea where anything is or anything | 09:23 |
| gerro | burwaco: yeah nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf set the line to driver "vesa" that will get you back into graphical mode if you feel more comfortable there. | 09:23 |
| brade1 | thanks | 09:23 |
| k1gw1 | blEsseD: Add/Remove programs, select "games" | 09:23 |
| macogw | brade1: if it's not in the repo... | 09:23 |
| Nallep | blEsseD you can try cedega | 09:23 |
| MilitantPotato | burwaco: i said it 3 times before, type fglrxinfo into terminal | 09:23 |
| macogw | brade1: i think it should be in Applications > Add/Remove though | 09:23 |
| MilitantPotato | burwaco: ok? | 09:23 |
| brade1 | yea | 09:23 |
| macogw | brade1: almost anything can be installed through Add/Remove or Synaptic | 09:23 |
| MilitantPotato | OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.0.6958 Release) is the latest release from ATI (Not repo) burwaco | 09:23 |
| blEsseD | can you give me the site adress | 09:24 |
| gerro | bradel: find synaptic and use it to install stuff then find a settings menu and set things how you like (remember right click) | 09:24 |
| macogw | brade1: their site says its in uubntu's repos | 09:24 |
| blEsseD | ? | 09:24 |
| brade1 | but it throws up a message saying "amsn cant be installed because of conflicting software" go into synaptic and remove that conflicting software | 09:24 |
| gerro | blEsseD: synaptic pwnz Add/Remove | 09:24 |
| brade1 | and thats where i get confused | 09:24 |
| brade1 | :( | 09:24 |
| blEsseD | thanks | 09:24 |
| macogw | brade1: use Synaptic to install amsn then | 09:24 |
| MilitantPotato | brade1 | 09:24 |
| gerro | bradel: don't use add remove try synaptic then | 09:24 |
| macogw | brade1: it should tell you whats going on | 09:24 |
| MilitantPotato | go into synaptic, check the asm1 package, and it will tell you what it needs to remove. | 09:24 |
| brade1 | oh ok | 09:25 |
| Nallep | blEsseD: http://www.transgaming.com/ | 09:25 |

| kimmey2k3 | someone tried installing lotus notes? | 09:26 |
| brade1 | thats what i did | 09:26 |
| brade1 | and that message came up wen i tried to install it :( | 09:26 |
| burwaco | gerro, xorg uses fglrx driver, everything works fine, but I have to disable restricted-manager or session freezes.... | 09:26 |
| brade1 | they have unresolved dependices | 09:26 |
| warbler | brade1: which ubuntu do you use? | 09:27 |
| Nallep | blEssed: well you can just browse through the synaptic packages and install all the games | 09:27 |
| brade1 | 7.10 | 09:27 |
| Agent_bob | ok i'm off to test the grub installation if it worked i'll reinstall lilo and make a note of howto. | 09:27 |

| brade1 | will it explain it? | 09:28 |
| Nallep | blEsseD: the games and amusements section | 09:28 |
| MilitantPotato | OpenGL version string: 1.4 (8.37.6) or something very similar burwaco | 09:28 |
| prometoys | de.archive.ubuntu.com seems to be in a bad state.. the mirror seems gone. where I can report this? | 09:28 |
| dgjones | brade1, yes, have a look at ubotu's link, that should explain how to add the extra repositories | 09:28 |
| brade1 | ok thanks for that i'll read it no | 09:28 |
| brade1 | w | 09:28 |
| burwaco | MilitantPotato, thx, why doesn't it display 8.42.x something now ? | 09:29 |
| MilitantPotato | burwaco: no idea, I thought it was odd too. | 09:29 |
| warbler | brade1: with synaptic open at the top is a menu - settings - click it and choose repositories - then enable all | 09:29 |
| MilitantPotato | burwaco: open amdcccle | 09:29 |
| burwaco | yeah, drivers went open source few months ago... | 09:30 |
| MilitantPotato | yep | 09:31 |

| cua0 | MilitantPotato: id has been supporting linux forever | 09:32 |
| brade1 | i cant find it | 09:32 |
| burwaco | Halo etc... | 09:32 |
| MilitantPotato | cua0: one of the few. | 09:32 |
| MilitantPotato | very few | 09:32 |
| warbler | alot of games will be written with directx10 in mind | 09:32 |
| cua0 | indeed | 09:32 |
| burwaco | indeed | 09:32 |
| MilitantPotato | DX10 is just to force people to get vista. | 09:32 |
| warbler | brade1: can't find what? | 09:33 |
| MilitantPotato | DX10 would easily run on XP, but they want more money. | 09:33 |

| MilitantPotato | Agent_bob: ok, stop whining :) | 09:36 |
| brade1 | ok warbler i have done that | 09:36 |
| warbler | brade1: can you find it? | 09:36 |
| cua0 | Shapeshifter: do you have hardware "Fn" button ? | 09:36 |
| brade1 | yes synaptic is open at the moment | 09:36 |
| brade1 | now what? | 09:36 |
| warbler | brade1: at the top see where it says " settings" ? | 09:37 |
| brade1 | yes | 09:37 |
| Agent_bob | MilitantPotato i'm think progress from whining to cursing, i think it hosed my fs on hda | 09:37 |
| Shapeshifter | cua0: yes, I can change the brightnes with the buttons Fn-Up/Down, but it still will dim back (up or down) to the value configured in power management, even as I have disabled it there. | 09:37 |
| matchtheclown | so tuner cards hey.... | 09:37 |
| jxxt | will some one help me to get a ati mobility 9000 card working nicely.. I tried the open source drivers and the killed my desktop. I tried the rglxorg driver that does make glx gears slow and choppy. What to do?? | 09:37 |
| cua0 | Shapeshifter: weird, mine acts independantly | 09:37 |
| brade1 | i have found "settings" | 09:37 |
| MilitantPotato | Agent_bob: doing stuff the standard way carries less risks | 09:37 |
| warbler | brade1: click settings then from the menu that appears click on repositories | 09:37 |
| MilitantPotato | Agent_bob: might want to give it a try sometime :P | 09:37 |
| brade1 | ok done that | 09:38 |
| brade1 | now what? | 09:38 |
| animungo | can someone help me? i dont know where to download packages for ubuntu so that i can install nm-pptp for the network manager | 09:38 |
| matchtheclown | jxxt have you tried the ubuntu forums? the how to on what it took to get my ATI drivers working helped me i have an x850xt and it took me ages to figure out until i found the sticky on the forum | 09:38 |
| cua0 | animungo: apt-get should work fine. or synaptics... | 09:38 |
| MilitantPotato | brade1: it's really, really simple bud, if you're having problems with this ubuntu might be to much | 09:38 |
| Agent_bob | MilitantPotato heh wheres the fun in that ? | 09:38 |
| MilitantPotato | Agent_bob: having a busted PC is fun? | 09:39 |
| animungo | cua0: i know that ... but thats impossible right now because i do not have a valid connection without vpn under linux ... | 09:39 |
| cua0 | MilitantPotato: fixing it is fun! :) | 09:39 |
| warbler | brade1: make sure the first four checkboxes are selected - click each so that they have a tick | 09:39 |
| MilitantPotato | cua0: not if it's making you mad like what's happening to Agent_bob :) | 09:39 |
| jxxt | matchtheclown, thanks I will take a look you do not know the thread name?? | 09:39 |

| Agent_bob | MilitantPotato yep it busted the first superblock http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/42455 | 09:40 |
| MilitantPotato | burwaco: disable compiz before you play games :) | 09:40 |
| cua0 | MilitantPotato: haha, true enough. i always get mad though, it's fun :) | 09:40 |
| matchtheclown | jxxt - i think on the ubuntu forum front page there is a link to the section something about screen drivers | 09:40 |
| animungo | cua0: i know that ... but thats impossible right now because i do not have a valid connection without vpn under linux ... | 09:40 |
| burwaco | MilitantPotato, I don't have compiz running... | 09:40 |

| burwaco | gerro, does it run on linux ? | 09:45 |
| Nallep | burwaco, it converts pdf's into text | 09:45 |
| Agent_bob | now why would i get this ??? tty24 [root@~] mount -o remount,ro / | 09:46 |
| Agent_bob | mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 09:46 |
| burwaco | Nallep, ok, but why does it do that without me asking for it ? | 09:46 |
| inversekinetix | why wont the applications menu let me delete items from it? | 09:46 |
| Nallep | burwaco, it could be converting some help files | 09:46 |
| gerro | burwaco: yeah its native http://forums.urbanterror.net/index.php/topic,8165.0.html | 09:46 |
| havoque | is there some boot parameter that should be entered at the gutsy install prompt to force the use of old pata drivers, because with the default install options the new libata subsystem loads, thus treating my hdd as sda instead of hda, and imposes a limit of 15 partitions, i have 20, and want to install gutsy in hda17(/) and hda 18 (/home)? | 09:46 |
| gerro | havoque: 20 partitions and your still using such an old clunker?... wow | 09:47 |
| burwaco | Nallep, It was converting "O'Reilly Python Cookbook" while upgrading to gutsy, I'd like it to stop do stuff like that... :) | 09:48 |
| havoque | clunker? i'm not native english speaker... | 09:48 |
| gerro | havoque: clunker= old hardware | 09:48 |
| burwaco | gerro, it's free ? | 09:48 |
| havoque | it's a laptop, two years old | 09:49 |
| Agent_bob | good answer burwaco | 09:49 |
| gerro | burwaco: yeah like others I know tremulous, warsow, nexuiz, regnum, tmw. Have some fun man | 09:49 |

| brade1 | am i able to install other programs as well | 09:49 |
| brade1 | for example - audicity? | 09:50 |
| Nallep | burwaco: hmm, sounds like a good book, don't know why you'd want to stop it! It could just be that the help manual for python is in pdf, and when it was upgrading, it converted it? | 09:50 |

| burwaco | gerro, wget is going to have some work then... | 09:50 |
| Agent_bob | gerro he said the lappy was two years old, if that's an old cluncker to you. well, i'm not going to get into that... it's OT | 09:51 |
| burwaco | ;) | 09:51 |
| warbler | brade1: been busy - all working? | 09:51 |
| Nallep | burwaco: unless it's one of those new-fangled desktop search thingies that was indexing the book for quick desktop searches, do you have any of those desktop search thingies installed? | 09:51 |
| brade1 | aMSN works now | 09:51 |

| gerro | Agent_bob: it may be OT but I tend to not insult people who don't speak english. And yeah he said it was an older hard drive protocol. Yet he has 20 different partitions and uses it extensively. | 09:51 |
| burwaco | Nallep, nope | 09:51 |
| brade1 | but i am wondering if i can install other programs as well | 09:52 |
| * warbler claps | 09:52 | |
| warbler | brade1: which - synaptic search is the best option | 09:52 |
| brade1 | audicity for example | 09:53 |
| flixh | Anybody with some insight into https://launchpad.net/bug59695.html ? I'm getting up to 5 Load_Cycles/min and hdparm -B and hdparm -S do not solve the problem... | 09:53 |
| brade1 | or 7 - zip | 09:53 |
| Nallep | burwaco: check your cron/anacrontab and see if you have any indexing services running | 09:53 |
| Agent_bob | gerro and bavoque it's scsi that limites the partitions i assume he was wanting to have his pata setup as hda | 09:54 |
| burwaco | Nallep, it's weird, the first hours after the upgrade to gutsy my cpu monitor behaved like a gibbon, but now it quieted down... that's when I cought that pdftotext process... | 09:54 |
| burwaco | Nallep, no, my crontabs are empty... | 09:54 |
| gerro | Agent_bob: why not sda? | 09:54 |
| Agent_bob | gerro cause scsi limits the number of partitions | 09:54 |
| warbler | brade1:audacity is in the repos and in linux we use .tar.gz | 09:54 |
| Agent_bob | ? | 09:54 |
| brade1 | how do i put programs on my startup? | 09:55 |
| brade1 | warbler - oh ok thanks | 09:55 |
| burwaco | Nallep, I mean when I "crontab -e" as myself or root, both are empty... | 09:55 |
| viviersf | is it possible to skip the "language pack" downloading when you install via the live cd ? | 09:55 |

| Agent_bob | viviersf disconnect from the internet ? | 09:56 |
| warbler | k | 09:56 |
| burwaco | Nallep, how do you chack an anacron tab ? | 09:57 |
| brade1 | what do i put in for the "command" for aMSN? | 09:57 |
| viviersf | Agent_bob, i need it to not try and do it in the first place | 09:57 |
| Nallep | burwaco: your the only one logged into your system? I can only suggest at looking what programs are run after an upgrade. | 09:57 |
| warbler | brade1: read here - http://www.amsn-project.net/ | 09:57 |

| brade1 | warbler - will that tell me what command to put in so aMSN will open on my startup? | 09:59 |

| smartden | JanC, but it don't | 10:11 |
| JanC | smartden: why do you think it doesn't? | 10:11 |
| Nallep | burwaco: probably the best way to start that is to follow through the startup files, and see what processes are started up, and disable any you don't need | 10:11 |
| warbler | brade1: if there are no arrows we can get them easy | 10:12 |
| smartden | JanC, i says cpuinfo | 10:12 |

| brade1 | warbler - wat would the command for amsn be? | 10:20 |
| Nallep | burwaco: best thing I can suggest is to install BUM (if you are too keen on using the command line to edit your startup files) and just go through the startup scripts one by one seeing which ones are essential, and which ones you can disable | 10:20 |
| warbler | cua0: using find or locate in terminal didn't seem appropriate yet | 10:20 |
| cua0 | warbler: what i don't understand is why you guided him through the gui finder thingy to find that file rather than using the find functions | 10:20 |

| murlidhar | SNy: it is not neccessary that archives that are near to ur geographical are the fastest | 10:31 |

| cua0 | smartden: voltages | 10:31 |
| stani | JanC : Strange... But thanks anyway! | 10:31 |
| JanC | stani: do you use dual screen or anything? | 10:32 |
| erUSUL | arnath: http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/saw27/notes/backup-hard-disk-partitions.html | 10:32 |
| murlidhar | SNy: there is an option to determine which server is fastest to u | 10:32 |
| SNy | It's not about being slow, it's about being empty. There are no directories there. | 10:32 |
| cua0 | smartden: things that look out of place... i don't do well explaining hardware diagnostics, i apologize. | 10:32 |
| dgjones | SNy, just tried the archive & its not empy, its got everything from 6.06 to 7.10 | 10:32 |
| arnath | erUSUL: ah thanks :D | 10:32 |
| warbler | brade1: it'll take a while - it updates all files listed so we can do a search | 10:32 |
| brade1 | ah ok thanks | 10:32 |

| miss^l0t3k | hi this maybe not best place to ask, but i dont really know where else, I am using truecrypt, to mount an encrypted volume I created in windows. i get this errors in terminal http://pastebin.ca/756263 anyone have idea how to fix? | 10:33 |
| cua0 | smartden: boot windows too | 10:33 |
| GreyGhost | weird ... i'm downloading the 7.10 release off the torrent .. but it seems that i'm not uploading anything ... | 10:33 |
| murlidhar | SNy: perhaps they are undergoing something . probly changing the server . or something | 10:33 |
| JanC | stani: do you have enough RAM assigned to the i965 ? | 10:33 |
| smartden | cua0: for what? | 10:33 |
| cua0 | smartden: and open up the cpu monitor and run an intensive app that'll use both cores | 10:33 |
| SNy | Yeah, but the update process doesn't work, because http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ is empty. | 10:33 |
| cua0 | smartden: just to be sure it's working in windows | 10:34 |
| stani | JanC : Maybe I should remove the drivers for i810 and i740 | 10:34 |
| JanC | stani: and you could also try the i810 driver | 10:34 |
| murlidhar | SNy: then change ur repo server | 10:34 |
| smartden | cua0: ok. i'll do | 10:34 |
| miss^l0t3k | bradel, warbler amsn is .amsn hidden folder in home dir | 10:34 |
| stani | k, i'll try | 10:34 |
| cua0 | smartden: sounds like its a hardware issue though, unless some weird tweaking in the kernel is required for your obscure "intel" processor.. | 10:34 |
| JanC | stani: you can change this from the GUI now (if you didn't know yet) | 10:35 |
| warbler | miss^l0t3k: tell brade1 please | 10:35 |
| burwaco | Nallep, this post is exactly what I was looking for, thx... | 10:35 |

| stani | JanC : how do I do that? | 10:35 |
| warbler | miss^l0t3k: he wants the command to add it to startup | 10:36 |
| JanC | stani: System --> Administration --> Screens and Graphics | 10:36 |
| JanC | stani: or Systeem --> Beheer --> Screens and Graphics in Dutch :) | 10:37 |
| stani | ah thx! | 10:37 |
| miss^l0t3k | warbler, bradel, assumi9ng you're in gnome, simply adding "amsn" command in sessions would suffice yes? | 10:37 |

| miss^l0t3k | bradel, add it to preferences - sessions (assuming you're using gnome) | 10:40 |

| JimQode | does anybody know how I can convert a X11 cursor to bitmap? GIMP does not open it. | 10:53 |

| cua0 | gluonman: nothing comes before it. | 11:03 |
| flixh | naut: smartmontools | 11:03 |
| gluonman | cua0, hm. | 11:03 |
| effeietsanders | kbroooks: i went to the directory of the rawwrite folder first | 11:03 |
| warbler | cua0: how long does updatedb take for you? | 11:03 |
| * gadiez byeeeeeeeeee,anjenkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk | 11:03 | |
| ikonia | gluonman "tar zxvf wmp64.tgz" what output do you get | 11:03 |
| kbrooks | effeietsanders, dir | 11:04 |
| effeietsanders | \profiles\lgelauff\desktop\ubuntu | 11:04 |
| cua0 | warbler: i'm scared to do it, it might index all my drives hah | 11:04 |
| naut | flixh, y | 11:04 |
| effeietsanders | then typed the command of the guide again | 11:04 |
| naut | flixh, ty I mean | 11:04 |
| ikonia | warbler doesn't matter how long it took for him, matters how long takes you | 11:04 |
| cua0 | warbler: couple mins depending on size of drives and number of files though | 11:04 |
| jburd | Can one attach tags to file system objects? | 11:04 |
| effeietsanders | yes, dir returns the rawwrite file | 11:04 |
| gluonman | ikonia, actually, I closed and reopened the terminal and typed ls and then tried it again. It worked this time. | 11:04 |
| jburd | I don't like organizing files in directory trees. I'd rather use tags instead. | 11:04 |
| herbalise | i have my root partition installed on lvm i would like to reduce the size of the root partition, is this possible? | 11:04 |
| kbrooks | jburd, that'd be interesting | 11:05 |
| effeietsanders | kbrooks: although as rawwri~1.exe | 11:05 |
| ikonia | herbalise it is VERY unwise to reduce file system sizes | 11:05 |
| warbler | hehhehhehikonia: he wanted to help someone - hehe | 11:05 |
| kbrooks | effeietsanders, type that exactly then | 11:05 |
| gluonman | ikonia, so you know what I need to do after that? | 11:05 |
| goodhabit | herbalise, how about backuping your root partition somwhere else, resize your prtition, then copy back? | 11:05 |
| earl_ | hey guys does anyone know how i can get the package libsrvg? | 11:05 |
| ikonia | gluonman cd into the directory it has created | 11:05 |
| J-_ | !find libsrvg | 11:06 |
| ikonia | earl_ that should be in the repo | 11:06 |
| gluonman | ikonia, syntax? | 11:06 |
| cua0 | warbler: thanks for the ego stroke | 11:06 |
| ubotu | Package/file libsrvg does not exist in gutsy | 11:06 |
| ikonia | gluonman what are you trying to do ? | 11:06 |
| jburd | I think we'll need a file system that explicitly does tagging. | 11:06 |
| kbrooks | effeietsanders, btw u should scrap ME its too old | 11:06 |
| gluonman | ikonia, install the program. | 11:06 |
| cast | jburd: might be a GNOME VFS layer to do about that, could use hard or soft links to similar effect me thinks though - but that would be filthly | 11:06 |
| herbalise | all the same for me, i would like to add a windows install on my laptop running ubuntu | 11:06 |
| ikonia | gluonman what program ? | 11:06 |
| kbrooks | jburd, how would tags be implemented? | 11:06 |
| effeietsanders | kbrooks: still doesn't work :S | 11:06 |
| goodhabit | herbalise, It is best way i think. You can do it with tar, or cp -ax, but after that you will need change UUIDS of your partitions @ /etc/fstab , /boot/grub/menu.lst etc. | 11:06 |
| warbler | cua0: all the stroking you get for tonight - get in and help :p | 11:06 |
| effeietsanders | and why do you think i try to get ubuntu? :) | 11:06 |
| ikonia | herbalise that will potentially be a problem as you will have included the whole disk/partition in the volume group | 11:06 |
| gordonjcp | jburd: a filesystem that "does" tagging? | 11:07 |
| jburd | kbrooks: Just the way they are on Websites that have tag clouds. | 11:07 |
| gluonman | ikonia, windows media player 6.4. On the wine website it explained how to turn this downloaded file into a usable installation file. But it used directions that a seasoned command line user would understand. | 11:07 |
| jburd | gordonjcp: "can handle" | 11:07 |
| cua0 | warbler: help with what, nobody's really asking anything heh | 11:07 |
| ikonia | goodhabit he won't - its an LV, not a partition | 11:07 |
| exx_2000 | HI all I just installed Ubuntu. The process went fine and recognized everything. I accidently installed it on hda instead of my SATA drive . SO I installed it again using the same DVD. The first install worked fine but now after installing to SATA my computer says to insert boot media... (Unfortunately I Didn't copy the whole message ) | 11:07 |
| kbrooks | jburd, vague description. | 11:07 |
| gordonjcp | jburd: ext3 and extended attributes? | 11:07 |
| goodhabit | herbalise, there are no problem to install win. | 11:07 |
| ikonia | gluonman join #winehq people in there will walk you though it | 11:07 |
| goodhabit | So I newer tryed LVM's. | 11:08 |
| gordonjcp | gluonman: why do you need windows media player? | 11:08 |
| warbler | cua0: when I vnc into my xubuntu server I have to open everything twice - thunar for e.g. why? | 11:08 |
| gluonman | ikonia, but now that I have my command line open and have created the new directory, I was just wondering if you knew what I need to type next. | 11:08 |
| effeietsanders | kbrooks: what i typed now in the correct folder is: rawrite -f sbm.bin (rawwri~1.exe sbm.bin) | 11:08 |
| kbrooks | effeietsanders, nope | 11:08 |
| effeietsanders | kbrooks: is there anything that might be wrong? | 11:08 |
| ikonia | gluonman join #winehq - the people in there will helpyou/ walk you through it | 11:08 |
| kbrooks | effeietsanders, remove the other linux command | 11:08 |
| gluonman | gordonjcp, haha everyone seems to be criticizing me for wanting wmp! It's okay. I just like it. Not much else to explain. Used to its features. | 11:08 |
| cua0 | warbler: no idea. | 11:08 |
| gluonman | ikonia. Okay. | 11:09 |
| jburd | kbrooks: Say, I have some documentation on networking and it also pertains to linux. I don't want to shove the file into one of those two directories. I'd rather tag it as "linux, networking" and when i want to browse a particular tag I'd find that file in the results. | 11:09 |
| gluonman | ikonia, cua0, warbler, thank you for your help. | 11:09 |
| kbrooks | effeietsanders, just say rawwri~1.exe sbm.bin | 11:09 |
| ikonia | gluonman: welcome | 11:09 |
| warbler | cua0: noone else can answer that either - gave up asking | 11:09 |
| effeietsanders | ok | 11:09 |
| ikonia | warbler what is your question | 11:09 |
| pyrohotdo2 | How do I share a media folder among users on a single machine? | 11:09 |
| warbler | gluonman: best of luck | 11:09 |
| gordonjcp | gluonman: not criticising, just curious | 11:09 |
| cua0 | warbler: i haven't used vnc in a few months, are you using an ssh tunnel or something? | 11:09 |
| cast | jburd: put it in both directories? :) | 11:10 |
| ikonia | pyrohotdo2 create a folder - and give everyone permissions | 11:10 |
| gluonman | gordonjcp, understand. no worries. | 11:10 |
| jburd | cast: what would you do if you had 10 tags? :-) | 11:10 |
| cast | jburd: have a dir per tag, it can go in all 10 | 11:10 |
| warbler | ikonia: I vnc into a xubuntu server and have to open everything twice - thunar fo e.g | 11:10 |
| jburd | hehe redundancy | 11:10 |
| effeietsanders | kbrooks: that is doing something :) | 11:10 |
| ikonia | 11:17 < warbler> ikonia: I vnc into a xubuntu server and have to open | 11:10 |
| ikonia | oops | 11:10 |
| jburd | i don't want duplication. :-) | 11:10 |
| pyrohotdo2 | I already have the folder, and it's owned by my user. How do I add the other users' permissions? | 11:11 |
| ikonia | warbler what happens when you open everything once ? | 11:11 |
| kbrooks | effeietsanders, looks like the guide needs a clarification | 11:11 |
| cast | jburd: as you'd use hardlinks there's only 1 copy of the file, just 10 references to it in a the file system table | 11:11 |
| gluonman | ikonia, wow. That was simpler than I thought. | 11:11 |
| kbrooks | effeietsanders, btw u should scrap ME its too old | 11:11 |
| ikonia | pyrohotdo2 either make it world read/writeable or add the users to the owner group | 11:11 |
| gluonman | ikonia, it's all installed now. | 11:11 |
| jburd | cast: I see | 11:11 |
| warbler | ikonia: they open and then close straight away | 11:11 |
| effeietsanders | kbrooks: it certainly does :) | 11:11 |
| ikonia | warbler I've never seen that ehaiour before | 11:11 |
| warbler | ikonia: on second opening they stay open | 11:11 |
| ikonia | behaviour | 11:11 |
| effeietsanders | kbrooks: note that the cmd in >run> did not even work here, i had to use command | 11:12 |
| cua0 | warbler: are you running it through an ssh tunnel | 11:12 |
| jburd | nevermind. i'd rather use gds. | 11:12 |
| warbler | ikonia: desktop icons do the same | 11:12 |
| effeietsanders | maybe that could be clearified too | 11:12 |
| warbler | cua0: nope | 11:12 |
| kbrooks | jburd, gds? | 11:12 |
| jburd | google desktop search | 11:12 |
| cua0 | warbler: i don't know then | 11:12 |
| gluonman | ikonia, hey, what's the command that you use to bring up your most recent action in the terminal? | 11:13 |
| cua0 | gluonman: the up arrow? | 11:13 |
| ikonia | gluonman the up arrow | 11:13 |
| effeietsanders | ok, i'll go try if it works now, thanks a lot, kbrooks! | 11:13 |
| gluonman | ikonia, I mean if I close the terminal. | 11:13 |
| cua0 | gluonman: cat .bashrc_history ? | 11:13 |
| ikonia | gluonman history or fc -l | 11:14 |
| gluonman | cua0, ikonia, thanks. | 11:14 |
| warbler | cua0: don't feel bad - no one in two months of asking has known - at least you and ikonia showed an interest | 11:14 |
| cua0 | gluonman: .bash_history not .bashrc_history | 11:14 |
| gluonman | cua0, okay. | 11:14 |
| kbrooks | jburd, i thougght u meant good (old) directory setup, lol | 11:15 |
| jburd | lol | 11:15 |
| cua0 | warbler: are you vncing from another linux box? why not just connect to the xserver rather than vncing? | 11:15 |
| blaze_ | yshoo meseengger | 11:15 |
| gordonjcp | gluonman: is there anything to recommend Windows Media Player? | 11:16 |
| kbrooks | !elaborate | blaze_ | 11:16 |
| ubotu | blaze_: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 11:16 |
| warbler | cua0: from ubuntu to xubuntu server - how do I connect straight to the xserver? | 11:16 |
| cua0 | warbler: now that, you'd have to ask an X expert, i have no idea. | 11:17 |
| jburd | I don't know why but tracker doesn't seem to work right on any of my machines running Gutsy. The results are very poor. | 11:17 |
| cua0 | warbler: i know it's possible, and i've read blurblets over the past 10 years on it, but to be perfectly honest i was never much of an X person until recently | 11:17 |
| gluonman | gordonjcp, I don't know. For me it's really more a matter of personal preference. I like the way wmp organizes my media and I have been having difficulty finding a media player in ubuntu that has a real rewind function (other than just a jump back function). Also, when I've tried to open several media files at once with other players, it will open several windows and play them simultaneously. In wmp, they will open as a playlist. | 11:18 |
| warbler | cua0: google and I will be friendly for a while then :P\ | 11:18 |
| lm7805 | warbler: log in via ssh -X user@host to the remote host and then run X apps by their name | 11:19 |
| cua0 | gluonman: you do realise that running windows apps via wine is going to be detrimental to performance right? | 11:19 |
| SasukeStorm | Omg | 11:19 |
| SasukeStorm | It's not a french Irc ? | 11:19 |
| lm7805 | !fr | SasukeStorm | 11:19 |
| ubotu | SasukeStorm: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 11:19 |
| gluonman | cua0, in what way? Not that I'm running a large number of windows programs. Just a couple. | 11:20 |
| SasukeStorm | OK thank's | 11:20 |
| exx_2000 | I have 2 drives one a IDE and one a SATA the IDE. After installing to the IDE one I reinstalled to the SATA drive but now when I boot up I get the error "Boot Failure | 11:20 |
| exx_2000 | Reboot and Select proper Boot device | 11:20 |
| exx_2000 | or INsert Boot Media in selected Boot device | 11:20 |
| exx_2000 | Press any key when ready | 11:20 |
| cua0 | gluonman: think of it as the application having to pass through an extra 'layer' of software before getting to the hardware. | 11:20 |
| SasukeStorm | How do i change channel? | 11:21 |
| warbler | lm7805: when I first started out I tried ssh but was on a learning curve - it might be time to revisit it | 11:21 |
| lm7805 | SasukeStorm: /join #channelname | 11:21 |
| exx_2000 | Can I run grub-install to solve the problem? | 11:21 |
| SasukeStorm | 'K thx | 11:21 |
| gluonman | cua0, right. My understanding is that the windows program itself may not perform as well as it would in a windows os. But it seems like you were saying it will be detrimental to the performance of linux ubuntu? | 11:21 |
| achadwick | exx_2000: you can sometimes get round that by disabling the PATA drive in the BIOS and having the OS auto-sense the drive | 11:21 |
| lm7805 | lm7805: of course openssh-server must be installed on the remote host | 11:21 |
| cua0 | warbler: to my knowledge there should be a visual X client that you can use as well as ssh -X | 11:21 |
| exx_2000 | Did that achadwick, didn't work :( | 11:22 |
| gerro | I have this huge 1gb file with a random name and no clue what it is, how can I find out? I don't want to open the entire thing in a hex editor maybe just the header | 11:22 |
| cua0 | gluonman: no, just to the app | 11:22 |
| mohkohn | http://www.debianhelp.org/node/11605 | 11:22 |
| achadwick | Ah. In which case, remove the PATA drive and get the SATA one booting with some sort of boot-cd and grub-install | 11:22 |
| warbler | cua0: from my reading that was vnc - might just need a reinstall or something | 11:22 |
| cast | gerro: file randomname | 11:22 |
| exx_2000 | I dont know what the disk would be called . WOuld it be sda ? | 11:22 |
| J-_ | Is i2c-i801 built into the kernel? | 11:22 |
| mohkohn | the above is a tale of woe. I cannot get my laptop to powerdown properly | 11:22 |
| gerro | cast: thanks forgot about that | 11:22 |
| gluonman | cua0, right. I was aware of that. But World of Warcraft has been running decently, which is my other windows program. | 11:23 |
| bullgard4 | Does Ubuntu install executable Bluetooth programs and daemons even though there are no bluetooth devices? | 11:23 |
| cast | gerro: you don't have to open the whole thing anyway, you can just look at the first few hundred bytes with head | 11:23 |
| cua0 | gluonman: fair enough. just figured i'd let you know :) | 11:23 |
| achadwick | sda, typically. grub should probably see it as hd #1 (forget its naming conventions: brackets, commas?) | 11:23 |
| cua0 | bullgard4: it seems to | 11:23 |
| mohkohn | It tells me that system is running on AC no battery present | 11:23 |
| gluonman | cua0, I read up on wine and windows programs compatibility thoroughly before attempting to introduce something to my computer that I wasn't sure of. | 11:24 |
| cua0 | gluonman: good call :) | 11:24 |
| gluonman | cua0, but I do appreciate your comments. | 11:24 |
| cua0 | i do what i can | 11:24 |
| exx_2000 | Thanks will try that out . As a final option will reformat both drives and remove one and just reinstall | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | gluonman: speak to the developers of the media players you're trying | 11:24 |
| gordonjcp | gluonman: you can do that, you know ;-) | 11:25 |
| gluonman | gordonjcp, never crossed my mind, really, but okay. | 11:25 |
| cua0 | lol | 11:25 |
| achadwick | exx_2000: you could also boot a livecd, and rummage around in /dev to see what was detected. | 11:26 |
| cua0 | woah, awkward silence | 11:26 |
| exx_2000 | achadwick, Will the drives be listed in there? Sigh, I was looking in mnt :/ | 11:26 |
| sandgrain | how can i kill an aplication that is not responding? | 11:26 |
| Bokeh | check the process id with ps | 11:27 |
| Bokeh | then use the command "kill processid" | 11:27 |
| lm7805 | sandgrain: or use xkill if it still has a window | 11:27 |
| sandgrain | thanx. what is ps though? :P | 11:28 |
| Bokeh | it's a command to see running processes on your machine | 11:28 |
| twisties | Just installed a Creative Audigy soundcard in my Feisty box. The only sound I get is static | 11:29 |
| Bokeh | open a terminal, then type ps aux and watch the output | 11:29 |
| twisties | anyone have any clues? | 11:29 |
| cua0 | twisties: did you install the emu10k1 drivers? | 11:29 |
| lm7805 | sandgrain: ps reports running processes. ps -x reports all your processes, ps -aux reports all processes in the system | 11:29 |
| twisties | I haven't installed any extra drivers | 11:29 |
| twisties | my other bgox worked fine the way it was | 11:29 |
| achadwick | exx_2000: should be. That's where device nodes go when stuff gets auto-detected. If you haven't an hdX or an sdX corresponding to your drives, they're not being detected by the OS. | 11:30 |
| cua0 | twisties: well did you install the card with the os on the other box? | 11:30 |
| mohkohn | what do I need to 'apt-get install' to make xconfig work? | 11:30 |
| sandgrain | Bokeh, Im7805: thanx :) | 11:31 |
| exx_2000 | Thank you will check that out :) | 11:31 |
| twisties | other box is running fiesty too. I chucked the card in and once I selected the right device out of the VLC or Totem or XMMS lists the sound was fine | 11:31 |
| twisties | on this one I select the correct device and I get static | 11:31 |
| cua0 | twisties: reinstall the drivers | 11:31 |
| ikonia | 11:37 < mohkohn> what do I need to 'apt-get install' to make xconfig work? | 11:31 |
| twisties | alsa? | 11:31 |
| ikonia | oops | 11:31 |
| ikonia | mohkohn why do you want xconfig ? | 11:32 |
| ikonia | mohkohn thats an old tool | 11:32 |
| cua0 | twisties: i'd do the emu10k drivers myself, or whatever creative has on their linux repository for your card | 11:32 |
| warbler | !sound | twisties | 11:32 |
| ubotu | twisties: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 11:32 |
| mohkohn | what do you use? ikonia | 11:32 |
| ikonia | mohkohn use for what ? | 11:32 |
| mohkohn | kernel compiling | 11:32 |
| cua0 | gcc usually isn't it? | 11:33 |
| ikonia | mohkohn 1.) why do you want to copile your own kernel 2.) I use the curses driven menu | 11:33 |
| cua0 | it's been so long since i compiled a kernel hah | 11:33 |
| mohkohn | to select modules. I always miss something with menuconfig | 11:33 |
| NET||abuse | Hi guys.. tried to install avant-window-navigator and aptitude says there's no candidate to install? is there something wrong with the package? | 11:33 |
| ikonia | mohkohn why ar eyou building your own kernel though ? | 11:33 |
| NET||abuse | aptitude search avant shows an entry for avant with a "c" flag infront of it,, what does that mean? | 11:33 |
| cua0 | NET||abuse: sounds like it's not available from your repositories | 11:34 |
| ikonia | NET||abuse: candidate ? | 11:34 |
| twisties | cua0, creative site always told me ALSA supported my card | 11:34 |
| twisties | so I've never installed any others | 11:34 |
| gordonjcp | the n00bs say "how do I compile a kernel?", the l33t say "hey I compiled my own kernel", and the truly wise say "Ah, I remember when I used to compile my own kernels..." | 11:34 |
| BlueSkyNIS | I have accidentally deleted a movie while was playing on other desktop, and it doesn't stopped... how can Totem play something that is deleted? | 11:34 |
| arnath | can anyone suggest a good uml2 tool for ubuntu? | 11:34 |
| NET||abuse | ikonia, ahh, the "c" means it was removed from my system but some files may remain | 11:34 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp the people who know what they are on about - don't say anything and just get on with it | 11:34 |
| cua0 | twisties: well, i dunno, i don't have a creative card, last time i had a creative card i had to mess with emu10k stuff | 11:34 |
| twisties | well i jsut isntalled that | 11:35 |
| twisties | brb | 11:35 |
| ikonia | BlueSkyNIS buffered in memory | 11:35 |
| mohkohn | I have this.except all known AR5007UG devices are based on UW2453 radio which won't be supported until Linux 2.6.23 | 11:35 |
| lm7805 | BlueSkyNIS: as long as totem has a file handle to that file, it's not deleted. once totem closes that handle, the file is gone | 11:35 |
| mohkohn | http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw | 11:35 |
| lm7805 | ikonia: wrong | 11:35 |
| BlueSkyNIS | smart :) | 11:35 |
| ikonia | lm7805 ? | 11:35 |
| lm7805 | ikonia: the file is not entirely buffered in memory | 11:35 |
| Odd-rationale | When I boot into recovery mode mode, how do I get out of the command line? Alt+f7 does not work. | 11:36 |
| ikonia | lm7805 I didn't say the whole file was | 11:36 |
| void^ | ikonia: a file with open handles will be unlinked when deleted, but only actually freed as soon as all handles are closed. | 11:36 |
| twisties | cua0, nup, didn't change anything. | 11:36 |
| mohkohn | I think I found it | 11:37 |
| ikonia | void^: yes, the deletion doesn't actually remove the file, just the pointers | 11:37 |
| BlueSkyNIS | it was a big 700mb file | 11:37 |
| cua0 | twisties: uhmmmmmmm i dunno, i got nothing. sorry :/ | 11:37 |
| ikonia | mohkohn I see what your saying, you'll need .23 to use that device. | 11:37 |
| twisties | no worries thanks anyway dude | 11:37 |
| lm7805 | ikonia: the deletion resolves after the last file handle is closed | 11:37 |
| cua0 | someone made me paranoid, now it sounds like my hdd is freaking out constantly | 11:38 |
| kritzstapf | what happened to http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/? | 11:38 |
| cua0 | but i know it's not. | 11:38 |
| whatzup | does anybody know if ubuntu uses the same package names as debian? | 11:38 |
| malocite | morning all | 11:38 |
| cua0 | whatzup: for the most part, yes. | 11:38 |
| ilreds | hi | 11:38 |
| cua0 | mornin | 11:38 |
| ilreds | anyone uses moin moin wiki? i'm not able to become superuser | 11:38 |
| malocite | does anyone here know the name of a program I can use to track my monthly bandwidth? | 11:38 |
| ikonia | lm7805 doesn't the file actually "dissapear" from the list though due to the pointers being removed even though the file still exists and is actually in use | 11:38 |
| malocite | I wanna make sure I am not one of those 'abusive' users :) | 11:39 |
| Odd-rationale | When I boot into recovery mode, how do I start x? | 11:39 |
| cua0 | malocite: sorry i don't. but... why? | 11:39 |
| cua0 | Odd-rationale: startx | 11:39 |
| Odd-rationale | cua0: Thanks! | 11:39 |
| cua0 | Odd-rationale: np, hope it works. sometimes X works too | 11:40 |
| lm7805 | ikonia: the directory entry will disappear instantly | 11:40 |
| ikonia | lm7805 ok, yes, thats what I was syaing. Thank you | 11:40 |
| cua0 | omg it was the furnace! | 11:40 |
| cua0 | lol | 11:40 |
| malocite | ua0: I'm in Canada, where every isp now caps you :) My ISP is one of a few lone hold outs and they;re trying to figure out what to cap at. I want to kow what i use so I know what plan I need to pick | 11:40 |
| Odd-rationale | cua0: I'll try. | 11:40 |
| cua0 | malocite: what isp? | 11:40 |
| malocite | Teksavvy | 11:40 |
| cua0 | malocite: where? | 11:40 |
| malocite | cua0: Where? | 11:41 |
| malocite | cua0: Hamilton | 11:41 |
| cua0 | malocite: yea, where? out east or something? | 11:41 |
| cua0 | ah | 11:41 |
| cua0 | malocite: i know shaw is very liberal with their caps in my area | 11:41 |
| malocite | ahhh the west | 11:41 |
| cua0 | malocite: mines 'capped' at 100gb/mo but that's more of a rough guideline | 11:41 |
| malocite | cua0: Teksavvy offers unlimited, but may have to start capping, or offering a more expensive unlimited because Bell Canada is skrewing them over (Bell owns the lines between the houses and the COs | 11:42 |
| ikonia | !offtopic >malocite | 11:42 |
| mohkohn | ikonia, I have been getting better at it. At first my kernels would not boot. Then no network. | 11:43 |
| malocite | actually, not offtopic, so does anyone know a good program for monitoring bandwidth in Ubuntu | 11:43 |
| ikonia | malocite discussing ISP's was off topic | 11:43 |
| cua0 | malocite: try googling 'linux bandwidth monitor' | 11:43 |
| malocite | I did | 11:44 |
| eNons3nse | if i used gparted to increase the size of my root directory and decrease the size of my windows directory will it mess things up? | 11:44 |
| eNons3nse | partitions rather | 11:44 |
| cua0 | ikonia: there was a lul in the barrage of questions ;p | 11:44 |
| malocite | lots of txt based tools, but nothing I could find that was either graphical, or kept a monthly tally | 11:44 |
| ikonia | eNons3nse resizsing a partition carrys a risk with it at any time | 11:44 |
| ikonia | malocite nagios and/or cactai | 11:45 |
| eNons3nse | i accidentally switched the 2 when i was setting up my dual boot and made my ubuntu partition super small | 11:45 |
| cua0 | malocite: something on the user end might not exist. and i doubt you'll find one that's got a gui | 11:45 |
| cua0 | orrrr what ikonia said. | 11:45 |
| malocite | ikonia: googlin' it now | 11:45 |
| eNons3nse | ikonia: well i know that resizing NTFS is safer than resizing ext3. but it seems like it might not be as dangerous to increase my ext3 as it would to decrease it. am I right? | 11:46 |
| ikonia | malocite nagios is a monitor software that you can use to "monitor" your network traffic, Cactai is "report" monitoring / generating tool | 11:46 |
| ikonia | eNons3nse there is a risk ressizing ANY partition or file system | 11:46 |
| eNons3nse | i just can't do much with a 6gb partition for my main system and a 30gb for windows which i hardly use. | 11:46 |
| malocite | ikonia: Nagios, looks like it might be a little big, I'll check out cactai | 11:47 |
| ikonia | malocite yes, nagios is a full suit | 11:47 |
| ikonia | suite | 11:47 |
| cua0 | eNons3nse: well, if on the off chance it mucks it up, you aren't losing much since it sounds like its a fresh install on both fronts. | 11:47 |
| eNons3nse | cua0: yeah. about a week. | 11:47 |
| warbler | eNons3nse: back up everything and give it a go - most have success | 11:47 |
| === blan`afk is now known as blan | ||
| eNons3nse | thanks people | 11:47 |
| cua0 | eNons3nse: you went a week before you noticed you had a 6gb partition? | 11:47 |
| ikonia | warbler thats not right to say "most have sucess" is very missleading | 11:47 |
| eNons3nse | cua0: that's about how long it took me to fill it up. | 11:48 |
| cua0 | eNons3nse: hahaha oh, fair enough, lol | 11:48 |
| eNons3nse | ;) | 11:48 |
| warbler | ikonia: the backup part is the most relevant - the rest was for confidance to try | 11:48 |
| cua0 | what were you going to do with a 6gb windows partition? play solitare? | 11:48 |
| eNons3nse | heh | 11:49 |
| ikonia | warbler don't make things up to build peoples confidence | 11:49 |
| eNons3nse | very little i hope. | 11:49 |
| Radio1 | That was the boot sector. | 11:49 |
| warbler | ikonia: did you try it and it didn't work? | 11:49 |
| mohkohn | qconf: cannot connect to X server | 11:49 |
| ikonia | warbler I don't use that tool | 11:49 |
| ikonia | mohkohn xhos + | 11:50 |
| ikonia | mohkohn xhost+ | 11:50 |
| ikonia | ughhh, "xhost + " | 11:50 |
| ikonia | mohkohn make sure the removte xserver is running | 11:50 |
| warbler | ikonia: then how can you say I made it up - the comment wasn't for you - mind your own business | 11:50 |
| mohkohn | ? | 11:50 |
| mohkohn | apt-get install xhost? | 11:50 |
| ikonia | warbler because "most peopel it works" for is not fact the ammouont of people who have problems with it is massive so teloing someone "most of the time it works" is VERY miss-leading | 11:51 |
| warbler | ikonia: learn to spell | 11:51 |
| cua0 | now children | 11:51 |
| ikonia | warbler I'm typing with lag so my keys are lagging | 11:51 |
| cua0 | quit bickering and help the newbs | 11:51 |
| ikonia | warbler you've admitted you have little experience so don't make random comments that miss-lead people | 11:52 |
| cua0 | lol | 11:52 |
| warbler | ikonia: if the comment isn't for you keep out | 11:52 |
| * cua0 sighs | 11:52 | |
| mohkohn | do you go xhost + then make xconfig? | 11:52 |
| warbler | ikonia: it is spelt mis-leading | 11:52 |
| ikonia | warbler this is a public channel and giving bad adviceor miss-leading advice is not a good thing | 11:52 |
| ikonia | warbler don't be a child and pull people on o spelling. I'm struggling with lag | 11:52 |
| primski | hi guys...im having problems booting Gutsy Live CD, says it tries to load 8139++ drivers says its incompatible, then tries loading 8139too and fails to BusyBox. What is this driver for? Mobo chipset? Is it incorrect driver for my mobo(dunno model, gigabyte smth), how can i include correct driver into the LiveCD ? | 11:53 |
| warbler | ikonia: you said you haven't done it so why get involved - you bored? | 11:53 |
| ikonia | warbler I HAVE done it - I said I don't use it, I got involved as you where giving out wrong/miss-leading advice | 11:53 |
| ikonia | primski what is the device that driver is for | 11:53 |
| cua0 | primski: first thing to do would be to find the model of your mobo | 11:53 |
| Trist_an | hi all, when I do echo `expr 2 + 3` I get the answer 5, I'd like the result to be in the format 05, anyone knwo how to do this? | 11:54 |
| lm7805 | primski: 8139 is a real tek ethernet card chipset | 11:54 |
| warbler | ikonia: most people have no probs with resizing there partitions | 11:54 |
| The-Compiler | Hi | 11:54 |
| primski | aha | 11:54 |
| ikonia | warbler thats not true using gparted | 11:54 |
| primski | lm7805, why won't it boot then? it should, only LAN card shouldt work then right? | 11:54 |
| twisties | cua0, I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!! | 11:54 |
| twisties | :D:D:D:D | 11:54 |
| warbler | ikonia: spend more time on the chat channel then | 11:54 |
| cua0 | twisties: bitchin, what was it? | 11:55 |
| primski | cua0, i will look onto the mobo, and see where that get me... | 11:55 |
| twisties | lol you're gonna laugh | 11:55 |
| ashfaq | How do i install lexmark z513 in gutsy please help! | 11:55 |
| nostyle | hi big ubuntu community :) Will i need to modify lilo when i reinstal windows (i have windows and ubuntu on load) ? | 11:55 |
| lm7805 | primski: maybe the driver causes some crash. try disabling the LAN card in your bios temporarily. | 11:55 |
| twisties | I had the analog/digital output box checked and all i needed to do was uncheck it | 11:55 |
| cua0 | twisties: bonus! | 11:55 |
| primski | lm7805.... good idea... wil try and report in a min or two | 11:55 |
| twisties | lawl. now Enjoying some 5channel musical goodness :D | 11:55 |
| dimonweb | hellow world! | 11:56 |
| ashfaq | I have connected the usb the printer is shown but does not act on the print command, did I miss anything? | 11:56 |
| dimonweb | restart system | 11:57 |
| ikonia | warbler: I think youi'll find I'm in this channel and active most days | 11:57 |
| dimonweb | ashfaq, restart system | 11:57 |
| * cua0 goes dormant in order to avoid printer questions | 11:58 | |
| warbler | ikonia: couldn't care - you seem to value you opinion highly - congrats on that | 11:58 |
| ashfaq | Okay boss i will come back | 11:58 |
| ikonia | warbler I don't value my opinion, I don't appriciate you mis-leading people with bad advice | 11:58 |
| ikonia | warbler hence why I asked you to stop | 11:58 |
| nostyle | will i need to modify lilo when i reinstal windows (i am having ubuntu and win xp on boot) ? | 11:59 |
| mohkohn | Before you switch to a root user, run 'xhost +localhost', | 11:59 |
| FastZ | anybody know an alternative to smbfs? I currently have a remote share mounted to my machine from a server on my network using smbfs as the filesystem type in /etc/fstab. The share mounts fine, but all the files in the share, when accessed from this machine, show up as being labeled something like :x4a, :x4b, and so on and disappear when you click on them. | 11:59 |
| mohkohn | this isn't working | 11:59 |
| burwaco | hallo again | 11:59 |
| cua0 | nostyle: you're probably using grub, and if you are reinstalling windows overtop of the existing windows then probably not. | 12:00 |
| primski | FastZ, what type of filesystem are you mounting ? | 12:00 |
| taggig | ok, i have the most stupid thing every to ask about; why does my tetris in ubuntu7.10 lag!? | 12:00 |
| warbler | ikonia: you win - this it not worth it - you seem to think you have a monitors position - unsocial is how I take it but congratulate you on your ehics if not your approach | 12:00 |
| FastZ | it's ext3 on the server | 12:00 |
| FastZ | and smbfs is installed on the server | 12:00 |
| warbler | *ethics | 12:00 |
| primski | FastZ, you could try sshfs, works pretty good for me. | 12:00 |
| FastZ | and it's worked before upgrading to Gutsy | 12:00 |
| FastZ | ill try that. is there any difference in how the fstab entry should be? | 12:01 |
| lm7805 | primski: i was about suggesting sshfs too :) | 12:01 |
| primski | FastZ, yea...its a little different, dont remember atm, try searching on ubuntuforums | 12:01 |
| lm7805 | FastZ: i don't know if sshfs can be mounted via fstab, cause it doesn't use the mount command | 12:02 |
| malocite | how do I see what percentage of cpu a program is using | 12:02 |
| primski | lm7805, heh, nice :), btw, disabling LAN card in bios doesnt help :S will check mobo model now | 12:02 |
| J-_ | How hard is it enable a low latency kernel? And if I get one to work, can I do everything on a low latency kernel that I could with a regular ubuntu kernel? | 12:02 |
| FastZ | ah | 12:02 |
| FastZ | ill do some research then lm7805 | 12:02 |
| FastZ | appreciate the help | 12:02 |
| ikonia | lm7805 I don't think it can as its usersapce - a one user connection | 12:02 |
| FastZ | may i ask a question? how do you mount your sshfs mounts? | 12:02 |
| nostyle | I have kubuntu 6.06 LTS 64bit, could i install this and then update to 7.10 and if i could how big is update (in mb) ? | 12:03 |
| ikonia | FastZ you have to do it on a user by user basis as its not actually a real mount | 12:03 |
| ikonia | nostyle its best to upgrade an LTS release to another LTS release not the non-lts builds, although it is ipossible | 12:04 |
| malocite | how do I see what percentage of cpu a program is using | 12:04 |
| ikonia | malocite top ? | 12:04 |
| Faust-C | lol | 12:04 |
| lm7805 | malocite: run top | 12:04 |
| ikonia | malocite ps -aux ? | 12:04 |
| flithm | hey everyone... I just installed the kubuntu-desktop package and am now in KDE, however I don't get any nice 3d effects from compiz. Anyone know how to enable in kde? | 12:04 |
| malocite | ahh | 12:04 |
| malocite | perfect | 12:04 |
| ikonia | flithm compiz doesn't work with kde from what I've read | 12:04 |
| flithm | ikonia: of course it does | 12:04 |
| ikonia | flithm really, I thought most of the effects where broke | 12:05 |
| ikonia | flithm something to do with the way it interacted with QT | 12:05 |
| Faust-C | ikonia: what ? thats so not true | 12:05 |
| flithm | ikonia: yeah that's nothing short of pure BS | 12:05 |
| Faust-C | the rendering engine doesnt make the effects not work | 12:05 |
| starsong | So Why should i use ubuntu | 12:05 |
| cua0 | lol | 12:05 |
| cua0 | starsong: if you have to ask, you shouldn't | 12:06 |
| ikonia | flithm no problem, as I said, I've only read it | 12:06 |
| flithm | ikonia: I am switching from Gentoo here and I used compiz-fusion w/ kde with no problems at all | 12:06 |
| Faust-C | starsong: lol weak | 12:06 |
| Faust-C | flithm: so your coming from gentoo and dont know how to make something work | 12:06 |
| ikonia | flithm I'm just reading it now | 12:06 |
| starsong | is linux better than windows ? | 12:06 |
| cua0 | starsong: no | 12:06 |
| Faust-C | flithm: have you tried the wiki or forums | 12:06 |
| flithm | Faust-C: well I could hack it manually but I'm trying to do things the "ubuntu" way :) | 12:06 |
| malocite | starsong: bigger stronger and faster | 12:06 |
| primski | ok, the mobo model is GigaByte GA-7VAX1394, and quick google search reveals no problems installing gutsy... will check the chipset and see where that gets me | 12:06 |
| Faust-C | flithm: no such thing | 12:06 |
| effeietsanders | kbrooks: wtf, it just works! | 12:06 |
| Faust-C | wish ppl wouldnt say that | 12:06 |
| dgjones | !best | starsong it depends on what you need and what you'll be using it for | 12:07 |
| ubotu | starsong it depends on what you need and what you'll be using it for: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. | 12:07 |
| cua0 | malocite: bigger? i don't know, i think windows reigns king on 'big' //bloatware | 12:07 |
| flithm | Faust-C: there is actually... i | 12:07 |
| malocite | cua0: Touche | 12:07 |
| starsong | do i look smart when i say wtf lol rofl omg omfg ? | 12:07 |
| flithm | Faust-C: almost everything is ubuntu is done differently than other distros | 12:07 |
| starsong | That makes you look smart doesnt it ? | 12:07 |
| ikonia | starsong please mind the language | 12:07 |
| flithm | Faust-C: not that that's a bad thing, but there definitely is an ubuntu way... to say otherwise is silly! | 12:07 |
| Faust-C | flithm: ... i dont likes it very much, thats the problem w/ linux no one way to do anything | 12:07 |
| starsong | ill stick with my windows xp i luv it sooo much | 12:07 |
| * effeietsanders now probably has to find better drivers for his hardware... | 12:07 | |
| ikonia | starsong thats great, enjoy | 12:07 |
| malocite | starsong: Kind of :) I switched to Ubuntu in July, there have been challenges, but Gutsy is really nice, and the fact that Microsoft doesn't load software on my machine at its whim is nice. | 12:08 |
| nostyle | will there be any problems intaling ubuntu on laptop with sata native mod ? | 12:08 |

| malocite | starsong: I do for my video editing, but I'm not here to convince anyone. Microsoft was just caught installing microsoft search on to everyones computer that uses xp, installed even if a user had auto updates OFF, Windows vista sends personal information to 65 different destinations including the National Security Agency, Ministry of Defence (in the UK) and the CIA and more, read up on it, thats wy I dumped xp | 12:10 |

| mohkohn | In this case it will be for the 2.6.23 kernel so I should wait until after I compile? | 12:14 |
| malocite | faust-c: If you want a good laugh you should see me try and get nfs working :) | 12:14 |
| Odd-rationale | When I boot into recovery mode, how do I log in as a normal user? | 12:14 |
| gordonjcp | zgmf-x20a: you should just be able to do something like "convert this.pdf this.jpg" and get a bunch of numbered images out | 12:14 |
| Pierre | Odd-rationale: init 3 | 12:14 |
| Faust-C | malocite: nfs why not just read the docs and get it working ? | 12:14 |
| Faust-C | thats what ive done since day 6 | 12:14 |
| Odd-rationale | Pierre: Thanks! Is that what I type in? | 12:15 |

| b0ha | is there a application for that ? | 12:16 |
| mohkohn | But thanks for the assistance | 12:16 |
| cua0 | b0ha: yes, there are themes and applications for that, you'll have to google which ones, but try 'osx theme' | 12:17 |
| dburnett77 | Theme manager, b0ha, has XP, Vista, as well as most of OSX looks. | 12:17 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: btw, monitor mode is broken in zd1211rw in 2.6.22 and 2.6.23 | 12:17 |
| b0ha | thank you guys | 12:17 |
| malocite | dburnett77: ooo... I gotta go try that :) | 12:17 |
| mohkohn | I am mainly on Etch because I am in Cambodia and it takes forever to download. I have Debian DVD's | 12:17 |
| warbler | b0ha: I've seen some at gnome-look | 12:17 |
| anas | hi all, is there some good guide for using amanda (bakcup system) with the client being ubuntu? | 12:17 |
| mohkohn | lm7805, what's monitor mode? | 12:17 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: but if you plan to use your zd1211 stick as a normal wlan client, it doesnt matter | 12:17 |
| hacker_14 | blue - eyes | 12:18 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: monitor mode is sniffing all wlan packets | 12:18 |
| hacker_14 | hello | 12:18 |
| cua0 | ooh | 12:18 |
| mohkohn | lm7805, It is built into the laptop | 12:18 |

| malocite | dburnett77: Here's a lame question... where is the theme manager? :) | 12:19 |
| anas | hi, how would I know the password of the default user "backup" in ubuntu? | 12:19 |
| cua0 | malocite: probably not installed | 12:19 |
| mohkohn | ok. lm7805 Thanks for the info. | 12:19 |
| malocite | cua0: Its not part of standard gutsy install? | 12:19 |
| dburnett77 | System...Desktop...Appearence, or some such, depending on your config. | 12:19 |
| imduffy | hey | 12:19 |
| LazyAngel | does anyone know about a tool to scan for wlan and which channels they use? (I need to switch channel on my wlan since there is too much interference) | 12:19 |
| cua0 | malocite: i don't think so | 12:19 |
| chandu_ | Hi | 12:19 |
| chandu_ | I have a machine, " Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo P5925(iQ35 vPro chipset)" | 12:19 |
| chandu_ | with 2.6.19 kernel | 12:19 |
| achadwick | anas: it doesn't have one (which isn't the same thing as it having a blank one) | 12:20 |
| Borzo | hello | 12:20 |
| rpj8 | LazyAngel: "iwlist scanning" | 12:20 |
| mohkohn | Ubuntu is still using the 2.6.22 kernels? | 12:20 |
| cua0 | malocite: i'm using emerald, and i had to install it seperately | 12:20 |
| chandu_ | I am trying to download an image of about 550 MB , from my server , using wget | 12:20 |
| chandu_ | Its taking more time to download | 12:20 |
| Borzo | Is there some issue with DHCP in gutsy? | 12:20 |
| malocite | cua0: Is emerald a theme manager or a theme? | 12:20 |
| LazyAngel | rpj8: thanks | 12:20 |
| chandu_ | May I know what may be the problem | 12:20 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: gutsy has 2.6.22 | 12:20 |
| chandu_ | The same operation, takes very less time in other machines | 12:20 |
| cua0 | malocite: manager. | 12:20 |
| rpj8 | LazyAngel: Yep yep | 12:20 |

| chandu_ | And it is detecting the hard drive a s/dev/hda | 12:20 |

| achadwick | anas: why do you want to use it? For what purpose? | 12:21 |
| chandu_ | Please some one help me on this | 12:21 |

| mohkohn | I am getting the no battery present thing in gnome. When I unplug it tells me I have a battery but not how much charge is in it | 12:22 |
| mohkohn | Is there a simple fix for that? | 12:22 |
| dburnett77 | On kernel, change mode=chmod **7. Works every time. | 12:22 |
| cua0 | mohkohn: right click it and remove it from the panel ? | 12:23 |
| zax1 | i want to play a dvd movie on ubuntu 704 , but i cant, do i need to download codec ? which ones? | 12:23 |
| imduffy | rpj8: does that mean the printer will not work is there any other way i tried install the windows dirvers via wine but it says printer spoller service not started | 12:23 |
| burwaco | is there anyone that knows anything about runlevels ? I have installed sysv-rc-conf and found my flashplugin running at level S, is this normal ? | 12:24 |
| anas | achadwick: yes I know, it works, but I don't have permissions to edit files, some files need to be edited using this user but they're read only files | 12:24 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: i don't know the gnome part, but you can check /proc/acpi/battery/*/{info,state} if it has reasonable info | 12:24 |
| dburnett77 | zax1, if it's an awhee, whoopsie. | 12:24 |
| mohkohn | cua0 I want it to work | 12:24 |
| zax1 | dburnett77: huh ? | 12:25 |
| Mountaingod | I want to change the 'name' of a partition from 'hda1' to 'hda3'. How can I do this? | 12:25 |
| Pici | !dvd | zax1 | 12:25 |
| ubotu | zax1: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 12:25 |
| achadwick | anas: I don't know which guide you're using, but you could edit the files as root instead, or chown them to the backup user. | 12:25 |
| johnuah | can anyone provide me a software of keyboard mapping? I don't want to use the default of ubuntu | 12:25 |
| mohkohn | acpi -V | 12:25 |
| mohkohn | Thermal 1: ok, 64.0 degrees C | 12:25 |
| mohkohn | AC Adapter 1: on-line | 12:25 |
| dburnett77 | the codec of a DVD is typically mpeg flavors. ffmpeg will load all necessary statements. | 12:25 |
| cua0 | mohkohn: oh, you said you wanted a quick solution to fix it from saying that stuff, quickest solution i could think of was to remove it | 12:25 |
| mohkohn | /proc/acpi/battery/*: No such file or directory | 12:25 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: thats the problem | 12:26 |
| johnuah | anyone? | 12:26 |
| achadwick | . o O flashplugin has an init script? | 12:26 |
| cua0 | johnuah | 12:26 |
| anas | achadwick: OK thanks I'll do that, anyway do u know some good guide about this? | 12:26 |
| johnuah | cua0 | 12:26 |
| mohkohn | lm7805, I would have to agree? | 12:26 |
| johnuah | what? | 12:26 |
| achadwick | anas: not really, never set it up for myself. | 12:26 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: your ACPI implementation in bios is f***ed up | 12:26 |
| anas | achadwick: OK, thanks anyway for ur help :) | 12:27 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: there are so many broken ACPI bioses out there | 12:27 |
| dburnett77 | I stalemate mine, with a power on key press of 'p'. It's a feature of Gigabyte MB's. | 12:27 |
| mohkohn | so I should switch to apm? | 12:27 |
| sandgrai1 | is 7.10 better than 7.04 in any way? it seems more trouble than its worth -.- | 12:27 |
| warbler | burwaco: I have a firefox flash plugin but it doesn't show in sysv-rc | 12:27 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: maybe. how old is the machine? | 12:27 |
| mohkohn | This is brand new | 12:27 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: then apm won't be prsent | 12:28 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: and with broken ACPI there is not much you can do | 12:28 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: check if any files in /proc/acpi/ are there | 12:28 |
| Zombie | Are you folks familiar with the hard disk spin down and spin up issue dealing with the Hard Disk Spin down and spin up issue? | 12:28 |

| warbler | thunderbird refuses to start from desklet,menu or cli | 12:31 |
| cua0 | here's a stupid question, why won't the backspace key bind to "Back" in firefox under gutsy? even using the keyconfig plugin. | 12:32 |
| mohkohn | No files in the directory battery | 12:32 |
| rpj8 | How do I switch to full duplex? ethtool -s duplex full does nothing? | 12:32 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: and in other dirs in /proc/acpi/ ? | 12:32 |
| lightstar | warbler, does thunderbird give any error messages when you start it up in CLI? | 12:33 |
| cua0 | rpj8: man ethtool | 12:33 |
| kbrosnan | cua0: backspace is a reserved key in gnome | 12:33 |
| mohkohn | laptop is a Medion MIM 2310 | 12:33 |
| rpj8 | cua0: I read that, broha. Just said it does nothing | 12:33 |
| cua0 | kbrosnan: only in gutsy? it worked fine in fiesty | 12:33 |
| warbler | lightstar: nope - the cursor drops a line then nothing else happens | 12:33 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: so cheap laptop. they often have broken ACPI | 12:33 |
| burwaco | at boot time I get a firestarter error, device eth1 not found, eth1 is my wireless lan, is it possible that eth1 isn't configured yet when firestarter tries to come up ? | 12:33 |
| rpj8 | cua0: "sudo ethtool eth0" still shows Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Half | 12:34 |
| lightstar | warbler, try moving your .thunderbird file to another location and try launching it again | 12:34 |
| lightstar | warbler, just to see if its a problem with some config file | 12:34 |
| kbrosnan | cua0: something that Firefox fixed in the 2 release, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/12/21/fix-firefox-backspace-to-take-you-to-the-previous-page/ | 12:34 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: and you are running debian etch on it or ubuntu? | 12:34 |
| Flynsarmy | How would i log onto domain.com port 99 using the ssh command? | 12:34 |
| Flynsarmy | ssh domain.com 99? | 12:34 |
| void^ | ssh -P 99 ... | 12:34 |
| warbler | lightstar: it is in /usr/bin - I have a seperate /opt partition I'll try that | 12:34 |
| lightstar | Flynsarmy, ssh -p <port> domain.name | 12:35 |
| imduffy | is it posible to install a printer using windows drivers via wine | 12:35 |
| mohkohn | processor has CPU0 CPU1...In this case I am running Etch. I do have Ubuntu on my iMac but it is in storage. | 12:35 |
| void^ | eh, -p. ssh/sshfs's conflicting options are driving me insane. | 12:35 |
| === Dragon64_ is now known as Dragon64 | ||
| cua0 | kbrosnan: thank you | 12:35 |
| malocite | cua0: Umm.... this may seem like a really dumb question... but, once you are in emerald.... how do you select one of the themes from the list?? They show up, but when I click on them nothing happens | 12:35 |
| mohkohn | I started chatting on here when I meant to be on #debian | 12:35 |
| lightstar | warbler, you store your .thunderbird file in another location? | 12:35 |
| mohkohn | but your guys are so helpful I kept going :) | 12:36 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: etch has kernel 2.6.18. that might be too old for workarounds to recent ACPI bioses | 12:36 |
| burwaco | cua0, set browser.backspace_action in about:config to 0... | 12:36 |
| warbler | lightstar: just reading that now - it is in /home - sorry, didn't see the dot before | 12:36 |
| lightstar | warbler, :) | 12:36 |
| cua0 | burwaco: got it :) that's been bugging me all day haha | 12:36 |
| lm7805 | mohkohn: i'd go for a newer kernel | 12:36 |
| ericjhensal | question--I've installed the i386 version of 7.10, not paying attention that I had an i686 box (intel core 2, 1.86 G). I've tweaked out my installation and don't want to start from scratch to install i686. Is it worth it, or is there an easier way? | 12:37 |
| Mountaingo2 | How would I go about setting grub up to allow booting from a new partition? | 12:37 |
| achadwick | mohkohn: Stick around until we start sitting around, holding hands and singing koombayah (sp?) | 12:37 |
| cua0 | malocite: that's the same thing that happens to me. i select one, close the theme manager then open a terminal and type emerald --replace & | 12:37 |
| burwaco | cua0, drove menuts for a while... | 12:37 |
| === Dragon64 is now known as Dragon-64 | ||
| lightstar | ericjhensal, unless i'm mistaken there is no i686 version..there's just the i386 (which supports i686) and the 64bit version | 12:38 |
| mush | hello everyone. would this be the right place to ask about apps; should I ask somewhere else? | 12:38 |
| cua0 | malocite: however, you should be able to add that commandline to your theme commandline in the Advanced Desktop Effects compizconfig and have it work properly | 12:38 |
| malocite | oh | 12:38 |
| cua0 | malocite: it doesn't work right for me, but i just accepted it and moved on in life with the workaround hah | 12:38 |
| Mountaingo2 | I want to add a new option in the GRUB startup menu, to allow booting from a new partition I'm about to put on there. How would I do this? | 12:38 |
| malocite | cua0: i see :) | 12:38 |
| malocite | cua0: I think I will as well | 12:38 |
| chandu_ | can any one answer my wuery | 12:39 |
| chandu_ | query | 12:39 |
| achadwick | mush: you can ask, possibly somebody will know. | 12:39 |
| cua0 | chandu_: yes, if you asked it all in one sentence.. | 12:39 |
| cua0 | Mountaingo2: yes you can, and it's in /etc somewhere, give me a second and i'll find it | 12:39 |
| chandu_ | cua0, ok , | 12:39 |
| Mountaingo2 | thanks :) | 12:40 |
| delphine | hello. I have a "locale" problem. My system is in French. All my programs install fine in French with the fr locale. Except gimp, which installed in English and returns an error when I try to launch it in french | 12:40 |
| geoaxis | is there a way that i can get a live pen drive from a gusty ISO | 12:40 |
| delphine | Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. | 12:40 |
| delphine | Using the fallback 'C' locale. | 12:40 |
| mush | all right then. I've been search for an application that does the same thing as 'Mr QuestionMan'. It's an audio inspector. (http://www.burrrn.net/?page_id=5) Unfortunately, it's only available for Windows. | 12:40 |
| revx | what internet messenger app that has a Webcam support? | 12:40 |
| toplok | how to set an application to automatically start when ubuntu starts ? | 12:40 |
| ericjhensal | the community page says Intel processors that support EM64T: Intel Core 2 processors | 12:40 |
| WuPeak | hi there | 12:40 |
| lightstar | ericjhensal, you're looking for the 64 bit version then... | 12:41 |
| chandu_ | cua0, I have a "Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo P5925(iQ35 vPro chipset)"" machine with 2.6.19 kernel , where I am trying to download an image of aroung 550 MB from my server using wget. But its taking lot of time . Samething takes very less time in other machines. It is detecting hard drive as /dev/hda , but it is SATA disk and BIOS SATA EMULATION is set to AUTO | 12:41 |
| mush | I've looked on several sites already. So if anyone uses such an application, a recommendation would be nice. | 12:41 |
| cua0 | Mountaingo2: in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:41 |
| ericjhensal | lightstar--I can find the version, I just don't know if it is worth getting it...is it that much of a difference | 12:41 |
| chandu_ | cua0, what may be the problem for slow download and detecting hard drive as /dev/hda .. I think SATA drive should get detect as /dev/sd , right | 12:41 |
| malocite | cua0: Does that mean you have to leave that window console open at all times? | 12:41 |
| Mountaingo2 | cua0: thanks | 12:42 |
| cua0 | malocite: no, pipe it to & and it should go away | 12:42 |
| lightstar | ericjhensal, last time i used it it seemed to be more responsive i.e. compiling, vm, etc (or it just could be me) | 12:42 |
| cua0 | malocite: sorry i didn't add the | last time | 12:42 |
| ericjhensal | I don't want to take out my current install and lose all my tweaking for the 64 bit | 12:42 |
| lightstar | ericjhensal, however not all apps are 64 bit so u'll end up installing the 32bit libraries to get some of it 2 work i.e. flash, java | 12:42 |
| revx | what internet messenger app that has a Webcam support? | 12:42 |
| malocite | cua0: Sorry, I don't know what that means, type emerald --replace | ? | 12:43 |
| damike | hu | 12:43 |
| cua0 | malocite: emerald --replace | & | 12:43 |
| damike | hi | 12:43 |
| robert_ | xorg randomly does weird things to me | 12:43 |
| kroynos | damike: Hi | 12:43 |
| achadwick | delphine: strange. Try opening a terminal and typing "dpkg-reconfigure locales" (sans quotes). is fr_(something) re-generated when you do that? | 12:43 |
| Allistra | hello everyone....could someone tell me how do I see which wireless driver I am using and how can I change it? | 12:43 |
| malocite | cua0: It says unexpected token '&' | 12:44 |
| ericjhensal | I guess what i'd like to know if is there a way to move to 64 bit easily--i.e. not losing my other settings (email. etc) | 12:44 |
| lm7805 | cua0: "| &" makes no sense | 12:44 |
| cua0 | lm7805: no? | 12:44 |
| WuPeak | i have connected to a smb://server/share/. in openoffice, if i would like to open a document on this share, i can select the connection on the left side. but if i would like to upload a file from this share over a uploadform in firefox, i can not select this connection. is there a possibility to get this connection every where? | 12:44 |
| lm7805 | cua0: use either "| command" or "&" | 12:44 |
| cua0 | lm7805: what am i thinking then? | 12:44 |
| damike | i damaged my MBR and try to start grub-install. my device is /dev/sda. grub says "/boot: not found or not a block device". i have mounted the device and there is /boot/grub :( what can i do? | 12:44 |
| cua0 | lm7805: you could pipe it in to oblivion, i thought it was the & symbol | 12:44 |
| bSON | hi | 12:44 |
| lightstar | ericjhensal, if /home is installed on a seperate partition, then yeah you can reinstall it n u wun loose anything..hwoever if ur changes are in /etc or somewhere else then it will be affected | 12:44 |
| chandu_ | cua0, I have a "Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo P5925(iQ35 vPro chipset)"" machine with 2.6.19 kernel , where I am trying to download an image of aroung 550 MB from my server using wget. But its taking lot of time . Samething takes very less time in other machines. It is detecting hard drive as /dev/hda , but it is SATA disk and BIOS SATA EMULATION is set to AUTO | 12:44 |
| cua0 | lm7805: % maybe? | 12:44 |
| chandu_ | Can one please help me on this | 12:45 |
| lm7805 | cua0: the pipe symbol redirects output to another command, the & symbol is for running a command in the background | 12:45 |
| delphine | achadwick: yes, I did that. I got all the English with the form en_US.UTF-8... done, all the french with: en_US.UTF-8... done | 12:45 |
| BLAKSurf | hello | 12:45 |
| cua0 | chandu_: so what i said first would have been right, without the pipe | 12:45 |
| cua0 | er | 12:45 |
| delphine | achadwick: so I am not sure it's actuall "re-generated" | 12:45 |
| malocite | cua0: Right, that did it thanks! | 12:45 |
| cua0 | lm7805: so what i said first was right ,without the pipe | 12:45 |
| bSON | ubuntu gutsy doesn't recognize a daylight time change in germany (one hour back). why is that, and how can i get ubuntu to recognize it? | 12:45 |
| rpj8 | Still unable to switch to 100baseTx-FD. mii-diag gives: "SIOCGMIIPHY on eth0 failed: Operation not supported" | 12:45 |
| lm7805 | cua0: & does not suppress any output though | 12:45 |
| lm7805 | cua0: you want something like ">/dev/null 2>&1" | 12:45 |
| ericjhensal | lightstar, how can I tell if home is on a separate partition | 12:45 |
| burwaco | rc*.d is driving me nuts... | 12:45 |
| warbler | lightstar: the move didn't help | 12:45 |
| lm7805 | cua0: but the 2>&1 part has nothing to do with the single & | 12:46 |
| delphine | bSON: mine (Kubuntu Gutsy) recognized the daylight changing time. And I am in Germany :-) | 12:46 |
| chandu_ | cua0, "Wthout the pipe | 12:46 |
| cua0 | lm7805: i don't think output supression was required in that instance | 12:46 |
| lightstar | ericjhensal, what does "df" say? is home listed there | 12:46 |
| chandu_ | cua0, I didnt get you | 12:46 |
| lightstar | warbler, still quits without an error message? | 12:46 |
| cua0 | chandu_: i know, i was talking to someone else, my bad | 12:46 |
| lm7805 | cua0: then simply run the command with & appended | 12:46 |
| warbler | lightstar: still doesn't start | 12:46 |
| toplok | found it, never mind :) | 12:46 |
| bSON | delphine: strange... for me every time synch gets me back to summer time | 12:46 |
| cua0 | lm7805: yes, i know, thats what i said first, and he said it did the same thing, i assumed i was wrong, but he hadn;t typed th & | 12:47 |
| lightstar | warbler, hmm... | 12:47 |
| chandu_ | cua0, ok | 12:47 |
| lm7805 | cua0: alright | 12:47 |
| cua0 | lm7805: 7am my brain is not functioning 100% | 12:47 |
| ericjhensal | LS--no home to be seen on df | 12:47 |
| achadwick | delphine: check that language-pack-fr and language-pack-gnome-fr are installed too; guessing they are already. | 12:48 |
| lm7805 | cua0: :) 1:48pm here | 12:48 |
| cua0 | chandu_: i'm not sure how it could have been recognised as an ata drive, and if/why that would affect your speed on such a relatively small file. | 12:48 |
| warbler | lightstar: trying a reboot | 12:48 |
| chandu_ | cua0, ok | 12:49 |
| general | betooooooo boy | 12:49 |
| general | koj zboruva | 12:49 |
| cua0 | chandu_: come to think of it my sata drive shows up as hda too, so that can't be the problem | 12:49 |
| mohkohn | my model is not there. Seems to be a bit dated going by the distros | 12:49 |
| chandu_ | cua0, ok | 12:49 |
| delphine | achadwick: this did the trick. The language pack was installed, but not the gnome one. It seems Gimp relies on the gnome locale pack (I'm running Kubuntu) | 12:50 |
| joje | hi all | 12:51 |
| joje | anybody using 7.10? | 12:51 |

| IdleOne | joje: several thousand people are maybe even millions | 12:51 |
| croftd | hehe | 12:52 |
| joje | seems i got a prob at bootscreen and wireless card | 12:52 |
| achadwick | Aha. Been playing with the GNOME "Language support" preferences dialog: that seems to know about language packs, and asks if you want to install missing ones. Knows about KDE and OO.o too, which is helpful. | 12:52 |
| joje | can u help me? | 12:52 |
| ikonia | joje can you give use the problem in detail please | 12:52 |
| kslater | I have a strange login problem with Gutsy anyone care to take a shot at it? | 12:52 |
| croftd | shoot... | 12:52 |
| ikonia | kslater if you tell us the problem, perhaps we can help | 12:52 |
| kslater | ok | 12:52 |
| kslater | had a system with FF and ldap auth | 12:53 |
| delphine | achadwick: thanx! | 12:53 |
| ikonia | kslater FF ? | 12:53 |
| kslater | upgraded to GG and ran aground with a known bug (Fiest Fawn) | 12:53 |
| burwaco | firefox ? :) | 12:53 |
| joje | when I finished installing ubuntu 7.10 at the bootscreen , my monitor said "cannot display this in video mode" | 12:53 |
| joje | what is that? | 12:53 |
| lm7805 | FF == feisty fawn i guess | 12:53 |
| kslater | right | 12:53 |
| burwaco | feisty and gutsy , ok... | 12:53 |
| ikonia | joje which boot screen ? | 12:53 |
| ikonia | lm7805 only just got that, | 12:53 |
| joje | at the first time I boot ubuntu | 12:53 |
| ikonia | joje which boot screen, the boot menu - or the login menu | 12:54 |
| joje | boot menu | 12:54 |
| kslater | removed the libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap packages and now I don't even get prompted for the password on users in /etc/passwd | 12:54 |
| ikonia | kslater so whats the actual problemn | 12:54 |
| ikonia | joje so the grub boot emnu ? | 12:54 |
| ikonia | menu | 12:54 |
| kslater | only thing I can do is recovery mode | 12:54 |
| joje | yes, and when I'm booting my ubuntu | 12:54 |
| mohkohn | I can't remember who said you would all start singing Kumbaya on #ubuntu... | 12:54 |
| ikonia | kslater check your nsswitch.conf | 12:54 |
| mohkohn | but look at this: http://www.earthmostlyharmless.net/category/linux/ | 12:55 |
| kslater | right, I manually took nsswitch.conf back to the default | 12:55 |
| joje | is that my monitor prob or software? | 12:55 |
| kslater | used another 7.10 system as a reference | 12:55 |
| mohkohn | I can see myself in the "Which fanboy Are You?" | 12:55 |
| kallepersson | Damn, I really like the slab menu for GNOME! | 12:56 |
| kallepersson | It's so awesome, I'm able to do stuff real quick. | 12:56 |
| jens_ | Hello, I have a machine ubuntu 7.10. This box has a lot of music/video's on it. I have a privat lan network at home; and I would like to share this music/video with f.ex. my sister, who is running microsoft windows. Is there a way I could stream the content to her pc? | 12:56 |
| kallepersson | Good that the openSUSE community created it so everyone could have it. | 12:56 |
| joje | jens_, use vlc MP | 12:56 |
| joje | share it | 12:57 |
| burwaco | mohkohn, :) | 12:57 |
| jens_ | joje, using samba? | 12:57 |
| joje | yes | 12:57 |
| ikonia | kslater: sorry some distracted me, can you repeat your last message | 12:57 |
| kslater | sure | 12:57 |
| joje | share the music folder at microsoft windows. jens_ | 12:57 |
| kslater | the only thing I can do now is the recovery console. | 12:58 |
| joje | and use smb://"microsoft windows IP" | 12:58 |
| ikonia | kslater ok - have you checked your nsswitch.conf for where your auth is pointed ? | 12:58 |
| eolhyte | Hello ! | 12:58 |
| jens_ | no, it's the other way around, my ubuntu pc has the content; I need to stream it to a windows box | 12:58 |
| kslater | ikonia: it's set to compat for passwd, shadow and group | 12:58 |
| eolhyte | I have a little big problem on my left panel: it breaks when I have more than 5 applications | 12:58 |
| eeleven | t.net | 12:59 |
| mohkohn | burwaco, while I have your attentions "sudo make me dinner" | 12:59 |
| eolhyte | I've gnome | 12:59 |
| ikonia | kslater ahh right, have you tried forcing it to just files | 12:59 |
| kslater | not sure that I have | 12:59 |
| kslater | I'll try that next | 12:59 |
| ikonia | kslater it all gets a bit tricky with pam over riding / under riding nsswitch | 12:59 |
| jens_ | but I'll look into it; so you say vlc is able to play video directly from smb/ftp? looks nice if that's possible; then I only have to give here an ftp account | 13:00 |
| kslater | ikonia, so just replace compat with files for passwd, group and shadow | 13:00 |
| dolphin_noel | Hello :) | 13:01 |
| kslater | some googling last night turned up a bug where /tmp has the wrong permissions after an upgrade | 13:01 |
| ikonia | kslater: change passwd/shadow/group to "files" | 13:01 |
| kslater | I'll check that too | 13:01 |
| kslater | ikonia: thanks. | 13:01 |
| ikonia | kslater that may get you logging in in "normal" mode so you can progress ldap further | 13:02 |

| jens_ | thx cast; but I'm not going to install a web server on my local machine, but I do have ftp; and I'm looking in to it now :) | 13:04 |
| dgjones | revx, try either aMSN or possibly kopete | 13:04 |
| sharkp | Which could be the problem? | 13:04 |
| ikonia | sharkp is the modeule in the kernel or an extenal one | 13:04 |
| ikonia | sharkp you can "modprobe" the module or "insmod" it | 13:04 |
| sharkp | ikonia: ata_piix, a module in the kernel | 13:04 |

| rpj8 | How do I make Java work as the java handler in firefox RATHER than gcj? | 13:07 |
| burwaco | [chr0n0s], don't know, chack google and pidgin site, search for pluginor something? | 13:07 |
| lightstar | [chr0n0s], you're reffering to pidgin-encryption? if thats the case then the other party has to support it as well | 13:07 |
| erUSUL | rpj8: sudo update-alternatives --config java | 13:07 |
| erUSUL | !java | 13:07 |
| ubotu | To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre | 13:07 |

| wshaddix | how can I install ath5k using gutsy? | 13:13 |
| kkathman | Alejandr0, check on your motherboard (back of the computer) and check if you do. If so, then remove the bad card, and ubuntu should reconfigure itself to the new video. In any case grub wont be affected | 13:13 |
| cast | [chr0n0s]: i suggest you use xmpp [aka googletalk||jabber] | 13:13 |

| ikonia | mcp_ a few others have commented on that, it appears the vmware package is not available in your rpo for your aarch | 13:14 |
| mcp_ | bad news | 13:15 |
| [chr0n0s] | cast, you mean the protocol ?, i am using xmpp for gtalk | 13:15 |
| lightstar | xyz, you have to add it to your sudoers file to work without password, then add it your startup location | 13:15 |

| Alejandr0 | <kkathman> ok, ty. Another thing, what could possibly happen if i got no video support and boot anyway. | 13:16 |
| lightstar | xyz, if you're running it from a gui, otherwise /etc/rc.local (with the executable bit on) works as well | 13:16 |

| joje | ubuntu op? what's that | 13:17 |
| cast | [chr0n0s]: yes, i mean the protocol. good xmpp clients [psi, gajim, not pidgin, dunno about kopete] will supports it | 13:17 |
| kkathman | Alejandr0, well, technically, error messages (that you wouldnt see). But I think probably it would end up at a shell login (again that you wouldnt see) unless you had a fall back video - but I imagine your Motherboard has integrated video | 13:17 |

| joepain | hey guys, i've got ubuntu 6.06 installed through parellel on my mac book | 13:22 |

| joepain | when i goto do a command like apt-get install compiz-manager | 13:23 |

| joepain | it comes back with 'command manager not found' | 13:23 |

| joepain | why would it be trying to run manager as a command?! | 13:23 |
| joepain | me? | 13:23 |

| greencookie | simplyubuntu, try Amarok! hands down the best player ever coded for music playback:) (IMHO):) | 13:36 |
| burwaco | jrib, now that you're talking about runlevels and stuff, is it normal that a non-free flashplugin is in rcS on my machine ? | 13:37 |
| greencookie | simplyubuntu, the only reason I don't like Amarok is it hangs up whenever I boot, so I can't use it these days. So i switched to Exaile. | 13:37 |

| mitch_ | well whats wrong first.. | 13:55 |
| Dr_Willis | arghh2d2 if you delete the partitions. that shouldent touch grub. | 13:55 |
| bloony | ok.. findaly I got ubuntu installed.. I had to use the alternative cd.. but when it boots now it boots into text mode.. how do I start gnome? and how do I set it to manualy start gnome at bootup? | 13:55 |
| simplyubuntu | yeah microsoft needs a rude awakening | 13:55 |
| simplyubuntu | heee | 13:55 |
| simplyubuntu | and bill gates isnt the richest! | 13:56 |

| spideyman | mitch http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42817 | 13:56 |
| achadwick | arghh2d2: I guess you could back your partition table and the boot loader to a floppy or something using dd. | 13:56 |
| arghh2d2 | Dr_Willis, i plan to delete hda1 and reformat ext3 | 13:56 |
| simplyubuntu | someone from my side of the world is powerful! boo yah! | 13:56 |
| Dr_Willis | arghh2d2 delete the parttion, remake it .set its type to ext3, format it | 13:56 |

| burwaco | upgrade to gutsy also makes a bunch of crap empry directories in ~... | 13:57 |
| achadwick | Dr_Willis, arghh2d2: just setting its type in cfdisk and mkfs.ext3-ing it should be enough. | 13:57 |
| arghh2d2 | i dont have a floppy disk and my cdburner's burnt out | 13:57 |
| jrib | burwaco: read comments in /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults | 13:57 |

| Gin | hi, is there any wallpaper changer that does the wallpaper change effect like the one in OSX? | 14:04 |
| arghh2d2 | bloony, gdm might work | 14:04 |
| dgjones | Task, What are you installing from, live cd or alternate cd? it should install without a net connection | 14:04 |
| Task | umm the alternate | 14:05 |
| Task | the test only one | 14:05 |
| arghh2d2 | bloony, gdm = gnome display manager | 14:05 |
| Task | text* | 14:05 |
| jrib | burwaco: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs is the idea. Basically, you get localized directories so apps can look for a "music" directory even if it is named "musica". The .conf file lets you disable it if you do not like it | 14:05 |
| Odd-rationale | Gin: wallpaper-tray might be what you're looking for | 14:05 |
| dgjones | Task, it shouldn't need a net connection to install | 14:05 |
| spideyman | spca5xx install problem http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42817 | 14:05 |
| bloony | arghh2d2: ok.. do I just type gdm in txt? | 14:05 |
| achadwick | arghh2d2: it should persist no matter what partitioner you use. | 14:05 |
| simplyubuntu | jrib, coincidentally my music folder is named musica | 14:05 |

| arghh2d2 | achadwick, i'd love to take your word for it, but i'd just like to be able to verify that grub is still there cuz i have no removable media to fix it if its not there... i do have that knoppix live cd tho, i guess thats my only backup strategy | 14:07 |
| herbalise | jrib tnx | 14:07 |
| arghh2d2 | bloony, yes, try typing gdm and hit enter | 14:07 |
| bloony | ok ok | 14:07 |
| bloony | im on live cd now.. so have to reboot | 14:07 |
| Dr_Willis | arghh2d2 you can fix/reinstall grub with live cd's | 14:07 |
| arghh2d2 | ok, cool, load off my mind, thanks achadwick and Dr_Willis | 14:08 |

| herbalise | is it possible to install windows xp on an lvm volume? | 14:09 |
| achadwick | arghh2d2: http://www.brunolinux.com/01-First_Things_To_Know/Backing_Up_the_MBR.html is useful. You can look at the generated file in less, and search for "GRUB" if you need to verify that it's a GRUB one. | 14:11 |

What I mean is if you pull your network cable or disconnect from wireless while tb is in online mode, does it detect the change and switch over to offline mode?

| eternalswd | I'm wanting to dist-upgrade now from feisty to gutsy, but aptitude is listing dependency issues. Most of them I am not concerned about, but the new linux kernel is showing that it won't be installed and I am concerned about that one. It says linux-restricted-modules-686 depends on the old kernel as well as linux-image-686, so it's not wanting to install the newer kernel. What can I do to remedy this without breaking my system? | 15:03 |
| Brandon_ | what's the best way to write the script. I've been told about two different interpreters | 15:03 |
| bulmer | Brandon_-> you also know that init level 3,4,5 are the same? so put a link on those other two | 15:03 |

| ikonia | wamty where did you get your video card driver ? | 15:14 |

| wamty | ? Anyone ? | 15:15 |
| ikonia | wamty where did you get your video card driver ? | 15:15 |
| riotkittie | Biju: you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [sudo nano or gksu gedit] | 15:15 |
| _hopex | Biju, edit the /boot/grub/(*list*) | 15:15 |

| wamty | ikonia; STOP | 15:16 |
| Ntemis | NTFS-3G new version out can i update it? | 15:16 |
| wamty | If a Linux 2.6.11 or newer kernel was built with CONFIG_AGP enabled, the kernel AGP frontend is required to load the fglrx kernel module. To identify whether your kernel was built with CONFIG_AGP enabled, look for CONFIG_AGP=y in the kernel config file, or if the 'agpgart' module loaded. | 15:17 |
| ikonia | wamty just tell me where you got it | 15:17 |
| Aaboe | Hello, anybody can help me to make my installation danish? Some of the system is danish, but some parts is in english for instance my firefox | 15:17 |
| wamty | and agpgart is loaded | 15:17 |
| Aaboe | by the way - newly installed 7.10 | 15:17 |
| delta | FrankQuist, that's indeed a possibility. I'd prefer to check if something simple can be done first. | 15:17 |
| desertc | ikonia: Out of the back of a van, from a guy I met in the alley.... | 15:17 |
| ikonia | wamty thats not what the error is telling you, where did you get the driver ? | 15:17 |
| Ntemis | NTFS-3G out and is already build into the kernel | 15:17 |
| Ntemis | can i manually update it? | 15:17 |
| FrankQuist | Good luck either way. | 15:17 |
| _hopex | i have my system running OK but cannot fix the file system, do you know a way to fix the file system errrors? | 15:18 |
| bulmer | Brandon_-> yeah thats okay, as you see the other Sxx are started with same shell | 15:18 |
| wamty | ikonia, ati.com | 15:18 |
| wamty | I got it from there! | 15:18 |
| Radio1 | Any one tell me how to tell hardware monitor to see from terminal this (cat /proc/cpuinfo') | 15:18 |
| wamty | the problem is the kernel is compiled with agpgart | 15:18 |
| wamty | Pici, please suggest anything | 15:18 |
| ikonia | wamty ok - that is you r problem. The kernel gutsy is usig has xorg built against it and will expet a specicifc driver version. | 15:19 |
| wamty | I don't don't need to use the internal AGP support... agpgart is fine ? | 15:19 |
| ikonia | wamty agpart is not just for agp support | 15:19 |
| buscon | Hi, I've just installed ubuntu gutsy | 15:19 |
| Pici | wamty: Er, Why do you think that I'll have some knowledge here? | 15:19 |
| ikonia | wamty why are you not using the driver from the ubuntu repo's | 15:19 |
| buscon | but I've got no window borders | 15:19 |
| wamty | I'm using 7.10 | 15:19 |
| buscon | what can I do? | 15:19 |
| buscon | no compiz or beryl installed | 15:19 |
| === mimilus_ is now known as mimilus | ||
| FrankQuist | Buscon: You sure? The effects option in Appereance is turned off? | 15:20 |
| ikonia | wamty is there a reason your not using the drivers from the restricted driver mamanger in 7.10 ? | 15:20 |
| Pici | buscon: Compiz-fusion comes installed with Ubuntu 7.10 | 15:20 |
| _hopex | buscon, you have already installed, just need to activate | 15:20 |
| wamty | I did Open the restricted drivers manager in "System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager" and select "ATI accelerated graphics driver". | 15:20 |
| ikonia | wamty ok - so why did you then get teh driver from ati.com ? | 15:20 |
| wamty | because ati's is newer so thought it would work better | 15:20 |
| _hopex | buscon, try typing this in a console: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 15:20 |
| ikonia | !latest >wamty | 15:20 |
| Biju | Hi , Ive checked the menu.lst file to edit root (hd0,0) to root (hd1,0) and theres three places where I can change it . Should I change each and every entry in the file? | 15:20 |
| buscon | _hopex, ok, so I have to disable effect optizon | 15:20 |
| riotkittie | buscon: alt +f2 and metacity --replace for the short term. you can install compizconfig-settings-manager if you want, and try enable the window decoration plugin | 15:21 |
| wamty | what to do now? | 15:21 |
| wamty | please suggest me anything? | 15:21 |
| ikonia | #wamty remove the driver from ati.com | 15:21 |
| riotkittie | tho, AFAIK, you shouldnt -have- to do that | 15:21 |
| _hopex | buscon: not really, just type what I said to have a menu with full options | 15:21 |
| wamty | ikonia, how please Sir? | 15:21 |
| FrankQuist | buscon: If Compiz Fusion doesn't support your system it shouldn't even be able to start, so you've likely happened upon a bug of some sort | 15:21 |
| _hopex | buscon: then you can change the look and feel of everything | 15:21 |
| ikonia | wamty how did you install it ? | 15:22 |
| buscon | _hopex, FrankQuist, riotkittie, thanx now I take a look | 15:22 |
| pike_ | Biju: you can depends on what you want usually youll just be selecting the top title entry when grub boots though | 15:22 |
| riotkittie | a bug? in alpha software? say it aint so. :x | 15:22 |
| wamty | I did sh ./ati-install.run | 15:22 |
| ikonia | wamty rats, thats a pain, thats going to be tough to remove | 15:23 |
| Biju | pike_, Thank you. I understand now :) | 15:23 |
| ikonia | wamty you can try joining #ati and asking if someone has a list of files it installs and removing them by hand | 15:23 |
| ikonia | wamty or maybe someone in here has a list of files | 15:23 |
| ikonia | but I doubt it | 15:23 |
| wamty | there's no way to do it automatically? | 15:23 |
| ikonia | wamty no - its not package managed | 15:23 |

| XsteelWolf | How do i check the version of xfree86 | 15:47 |
| Brandon_ | pike_, yeah so it runs in the background. Why do I lose input? | 15:47 |
| qcode | johnficca: You need the Windows driver for your card... | 15:47 |
| johnficca | why would my wireless card stop working after upgrading ubuntu 7.10? | 15:47 |
| Brandon_ | pike_, I mean I can type but my console goes away | 15:47 |
| matelot | why is "top" report about MEM is different from the GUI "system monitor" ??? | 15:47 |
| Pici | XsteelWolf: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg | 15:47 |
| ikonia | johnficca what type of card | 15:47 |
| pike_ | Brandon_: might comment that out at first and just run the script to test if it works then | 15:47 |
| qcode | johnficca: I had the same question | 15:47 |
| johnficca | qcode: I have it and its already installed | 15:47 |
| ArrPirate | I'm having the same compiz problem I was having yesterday.. If I turn the appearance settings to 'None' then there's no problem but if I set it to 'Normal' or above some of the effects, like the screen dimming and the shift switcher mess up. | 15:47 |
| Egonis | I have a laptop with an i945 video card -- and have an external monitor plugged in, how do I use it as a secondary monitor? When I go to 'screens and graphics' the 'secondary screen' option is disabled for both screens. How do i change this? | 15:48 |
| johnficca | ikonia: realtek rtl8185l | 15:48 |
| john83 | anybody have IBM X60 laptop?? | 15:48 |
| qcode | johnficca: Does "dmesg" show anything suspecious? | 15:48 |
| Brandon_ | pike_, how do I get my console back | 15:48 |
| ArrPirate | By 'mess up' I mean that it treats the upper left two thirds of my screen as my full screen, meaning that the effects are not full screen. | 15:48 |
| ikonia | johnficca someone else was having this problem earlier, there is also a bug logged for certain intel cards | 15:48 |
| matelot | I have the X40 | 15:48 |
| johnficca | qcode: let me check | 15:48 |
| ryan_ | I'm in failsafe terminal mode and I'm trying to compile my sound drivers, which I think has broken Ubuntu, but I get this error: "Error C compiler cannot create executables." Can anyone help please? | 15:48 |
| john83 | it doesnt make any sound problem? | 15:48 |
| Pici | ryan_: you need to install the build-essential package | 15:49 |
| ryan_ | thanks | 15:49 |
| dcnstrct | hi. I have a webserver running on an gutsy ubuntu box in a VMware fusion session. For some reason my host OS can't hit the web service even though it can ssh into the ubuntu box. Is vmware probably blocoking the port or is it ubuntu ? thnx | 15:49 |
| ikonia | ryan_ why are you in a failsafe termiminal ? | 15:49 |
| ArrPirate | Yesterday I fixed this problem by changing my monitor in Screens and Graphics to 'LCD 1680x1050' and my resolution to 1680x1050 instead of 'Generic PnP', but I've since reformatted my hard drive an reinstalled Ubuntu and now the fix isn't working. | 15:49 |
| johnficca | ikonia: ok thats weird I just restarted and now its working | 15:49 |
| ArrPirate | anyone know what to do to solve my problem? | 15:49 |
| GuHHH | does anyone uses apache chrooted with phpldapadmin? i cant get phpldapadmin working on the chroot environment | 15:49 |
| Pici | ArrPirate: Have you asked in #compiz-fusion too? | 15:49 |
| ikonia | dcnstrct is the webserer set to listen on the virtual iP address | 15:49 |
| john83 | !sound | 15:50 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 15:50 |

| ubotu | keitherz: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 15:50 |

| dcnstrct | ikania, perhaps it's not. I'll check on that angle, thanks a lot for the tip | 15:50 |
| wamty | Could I deactivate ati in xorg.conf? | 15:50 |
| keitherz | my mysql.sock got broken | 15:50 |
| poetiath | albanjka??? | 15:50 |
| johnficca | qcode: yes it is woooahh | 15:50 |
| qcode | johnficca: Good for you | 15:50 |
| poetiath | elenika? | 15:50 |
| ikonia | wamty no the problem is you have dumped an incompatible driver in - so deactivating it won't roll it back tot e compatible version | 15:50 |
| keitherz | how can i restore it? | 15:51 |
| johnficca | qcode: I just don't know what is was that I did to fix it | 15:51 |
| ikonia | keitherz defien broken | 15:51 |
| ryan_ | I'm in failsafe terminal because Gnome complains of a missing libasound.so.2 file. I only have internet access through fail safe terminal. | 15:51 |
| keitherz | ??? | 15:51 |
| mindframe- | why is audacious sound so buggy when it plays streams now? | 15:51 |
| ryan_ | Rather than the plain terminal. | 15:51 |
| Pici | !doesntwork | keitherz | 15:51 |
| ubotu | keitherz: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 15:51 |
| johnficca | qcode: do you think I can get this card working in 64 bit ubuntu ? | 15:51 |
| ikonia | ryan_ that should just stop sound - not internet access in an normal session | 15:52 |
| qcode | johnficca: I couldn't get it to work, then next day I turned it on and it worked... maybe it needed a reboot | 15:52 |
| johnficca | qcode: I hear ndiswrapper doesn't work in amd 64 | 15:52 |
| Biju | By default does Ubuntu check for packages from my DVD and then only download from the net or do I have to edit something to get it to work like that ? (Ubuntu AMD64 7.10) | 15:52 |
| dcnstrct | ikania, you were right, it was binding to local loop back by default. thanks! | 15:52 |
| johnficca | qcode: yeah | 15:52 |
| ikonia | dcnstrct no problem | 15:52 |
| ryan_ | When I try to log in Gnome instantly quits and gives me that error. | 15:52 |
| qcode | johnficca: Hmm... I'm not sure, you can always try it. :) | 15:52 |
| ikonia | ryan_ very annoyin | 15:52 |
| ryan_ | Yup. | 15:52 |
| ikonia | ryan_ unexpected too | 15:53 |
| keitherz | is there a way to return my mysql.sock to the defaults cause it got deleted | 15:53 |
| ryan_ | I've only had Ubuntu installed for a few hours. | 15:53 |
| ikonia | ryan_ why is the library missing, have you deleted it | 15:53 |
| ikonia | keitherz how did it get deleted ? | 15:53 |
| johnficca | qcode: I did reboot a few times, the only think I did this time was remove ndiswrapper from /etc/modules file | 15:53 |
| keitherz | i dont know | 15:53 |
| ikonia | keitherz you must, did you delete it, remove a package etc | 15:53 |
| arghh2d2 | I got a quick question about how the system addresses partitions. Are they numbered in the order they are created? | 15:53 |
| keitherz | no when i started again it wont start and cant find it anymore | 15:54 |
| johnficca | qcode: it should not even be on because I have not done a modprobe ndiswrapper | 15:54 |
| ikonia | keitherz just touch an empty file then | 15:54 |
| ryan_ | Well I tried to install the realtek drivers, which failed twice. I tried to view Readme.txt, but I got an icon in the task bar "opening Readme.txt" then it disappeared, it didn't open, I did that twice, then decided to restart Gnome. Bang, error. | 15:54 |
| ikonia | keitherz as I recall it will need setuid permissions | 15:54 |
| qcode | johnficca: I had to add modprobe ndiswrapper to /etc/rc.local | 15:54 |
| DisabledDuck | in your opinion, what is the best e-mail application for Linux? | 15:54 |
| Pici | !best | DisabledDuck | 15:54 |
| ubotu | DisabledDuck: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. | 15:54 |
| DisabledDuck | Pic1: which is why i didn't specifically ask for "which ones the best" i just wanted opinions | 15:55 |
| wamty | Ikonia, can I do something like sh ./ati-install.run > somefile 2>&1 ? | 15:55 |
| wamty | and then rm them | 15:55 |
| taonari | Hi I have the latest nvidia driver installed and had to remove compiz because of the title bar corruption that keeps happening. Now on reboot all my title bars are missing. How can I get them restored? | 15:55 |
| wamty | ? | 15:55 |
| johnficca | qcode: I hope they get a native driver for this card soon | 15:55 |
| ArrPirate | anyone know if there's a linux driver for a ViewSonic VX2234wm monitor? It's an lcd widescreen monitor with a default resolution of 1680x1050. | 15:55 |
| ryan_ | The actual error Gnome gives is something about requiring a helper application. I'll control-z and get the actual message. | 15:55 |
| wamty | Ikonia, in that way I can see where it puts everything | 15:56 |
| redl | hi all | 15:56 |
| qcode | johnficca: Now you can write up a mini-howto for your card ;) | 15:56 |
| redl | where can i get source of ubuntu linux? | 15:56 |
| redl | *sources | 15:56 |
| dgjones | redl, do you mean the install cd? | 15:56 |
| darkmatter | well. in gnome if you need the works theres evolution. if you just need mail theres claws or thunderbird... etc etc. about the same is true for kde. you have a lot of choices <-- DisabledDuck | 15:56 |
| taonari | My title bars are missing after removing Compiz in 7.10. Any ideas on how to get them restored when Gnome loads? Right now I have to type metacity in a terminal. | 15:56 |

| genii | aie93_: You may be running a preemptive or realttime kernel. what does uname -a report? | 16:50 |
| CochiseIRL | jaldhar, on the forums theres a script to install vmware server | 16:50 |
| aie93_ | jaldhar: I installed vmware on my server, it seems to work fine with gutsy | 16:50 |
| aie93_ | genii: Linux indego 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux | 16:51 |

| graham_ | yes thank you CochiseIRL | 16:51 |
| genii | Hmm no preempt or rtlinux kernel there then. | 16:51 |

| CochiseIRL | graham_, no problem we were all new once | 16:51 |
| jaldhar | CochiseIRL, aie93_ : thanks. This is workstation I should add but I'll check out the forum | 16:51 |
| PrMoriarty | and i can t see what is their tittle | 16:51 |
| graham_ | =] | 16:51 |
| arun_ | aie93_: if i upgrade i won't have the new features of gutsy installed by default? | 16:52 |
| PrMoriarty | do you know how i can maximize the size for a window reduced | 16:52 |
| aie93_ | genii: I'm running an out of the box version of gutsy installed from the final release iso | 16:52 |

| RedBand | i'm trying to install os x. can gparted format my drive in hfs? | 16:52 |

| tanath | PrMoriarty, right click on the panel, click properties & check size. | 16:52 |
| genii | aie93_: Wait, you can't get /dev/rtc from gutsy running inside a vm? | 16:52 |

| pejo_ | graham_: emacs is good, slow to load, but once you start it, you never need to close it | 16:52 |
| wirechief_ | keitherz: try tripwire | 16:52 |

| tanath | PrMoriarty, mines @ 24 | 16:53 |
| pejo_ | graham_: yea, loading takes a while even on fast machine, but once it up and running its nice | 16:53 |
| aie93_ | arun_: the desktop switcher and the search deskapplet aren't on your user panels because you will already have a user setup, i'm not sure if it affects anything else, all i know is that i did an upgrade and it booted much slower than when i re-installed | 16:54 |
| aninhumer | bsdunix, you can search and browse the repos in synaptic, or aptitude if you like cli | 16:54 |
| CochiseIRL | i use xchat what other are there? but that dont use kde libarys | 16:54 |
| Pici | CochiseIRL: xchat doesnt use kde libraries. | 16:54 |
| aie93_ | genii: could it have anything to do with my processor? | 16:54 |
| bruenig | aninhumer, apt-get on cli is safer | 16:54 |
| arun_ | aie93_: if i re-install, how do i retain my /home partition and all the stuff in it? do i need to do anything specific during the installation process? | 16:55 |
| bsdunix | aninhumer: so man aptitude it is! i thank you very much | 16:55 |
| CochiseIRL | Pici, i know im just wondering what other irc clients there are that dont use kde libaries. should have made it a bit clearer | 16:55 |
| wirechief_ | arun use manual on partitioning | 16:55 |
| bruenig | bsdunix, you really want to use apt-get, unless you like this: http://pastebin.ca/653424 | 16:55 |
| genii | aie93_: Conceivably. i know that if you use kernel option notsc (no time stamp counter) it can mess up your /dev/rtc as well | 16:55 |
| genii | AFK, work | 16:55 |
| aninhumer | bruenig, only for removing afaik, installing is okay? | 16:55 |
| keitherz | no tripwire isn't what i need | 16:55 |
| Pici | CochiseIRL: Ah. irssi, pidgin (although not great support there) and also xchat regular, not to be confused with xchat-gnome which ubuntu installs by default. | 16:55 |
| wirechief_ | keitherz: i forget its for servers | 16:55 |
| keitherz | i need something to watch what they are going while connected to ssh | 16:56 |
| Pici | CochiseIRL: Rather, not good irc support, it does things weirdly. | 16:56 |
| aie93_ | arun_: if you want to preserve your home you may as well just upgrade. if you want to preserve them and they're not on a seperate partition you will have to install over your current root leaving all the current files in-place, this will be mesier than an upgrade | 16:56 |

| sam_ | I'm trying to install some custom GIMP brushes on feisty - which folder do I stick them in, and how can I access said folder? | 16:56 |
| bruenig | aninhumer, installing isn't a problem I guess, seems odd that you would use aptitude to install and then apt-get to remove when you can just do both with apt-get | 16:56 |

| ikonia | RedBand yes | 17:04 |
| keitherz | i want to watch other users connected in my ssh | 17:04 |
| bruenig | bsdunix, it occurs because of ubuntu's use of meta-packages which are fake packages with an enormous amount of false dependencies to group packages. apt does not have any built in grouping mechanism so that is the hackish work around and it causes problems especially when using aptitude. | 17:04 |
| keitherz | what they are doing | 17:04 |
| ikonia | keitherz if you are root you can hack a simmple script together with tee in their .ash_profile, be aware though in some environments thats considered illegal | 17:05 |

| ikonia | E_mE why are you using startx - you don't have a .xinitrd because you don't need one, you only need one if your using startx | 17:08 |
| bsdunix | bruenig: thanks to you, too | 17:08 |
| CochiseIRL | sam_, open your home folder press ctrl + h to show hidden files and thereĺl be a folder called gimp2.xx inside it there is a folder called brushes put them in there | 17:08 |

| CochiseIRL | xiven, its for pc that arnet compatilbe with the live cd, check the forums first tough | 17:09 |
| ikonia | E_mE then you need to create and populate a .xinitrd | 17:09 |
| Pici | darthmarth37|Wk: I *think* casper is the name of the package | 17:09 |
| xiven | Well the live cd has worked with this machine before | 17:09 |

| xiven | Yeah | 17:10 |
| CochiseIRL | xiven, how has it changed? | 17:10 |
| E_mE | ikonia: but if im not using xserver-xgl, it boots into KDE with no problems... only when i install the xgl | 17:10 |

| CochiseIRL | xiven, was the old one sata or pata | 17:10 |
| darthmarth37|Wk | Any way to do that? All I really need is to be able to boot and run the installer from a hard disk. | 17:10 |
| ikonia | E_mE maybe thats using the default | 17:10 |
| ikonia | keitherz what is not working ? | 17:11 |
| xiven | Umm | 17:11 |
| Profanephobia | darthmarth37|Wk, does it have a USB port? | 17:11 |

| ikonia | darthmarth37|Wk: doesnt' really work look that | 17:11 |
| CochiseIRL | xiven, and the new is it sata as well | 17:11 |
| ikonia | E_mE something like /usr/bin/startkde | 17:11 |
| keitherz | sudo tee /home/$USERNAMEHERE/.ash_profile | 17:11 |
| darthmarth37|Wk | Profanephobia: Yes. That's why I'm trying to get is on a USB hard drive. | 17:11 |
| darthmarth37|Wk | *it | 17:11 |
| keitherz | i even tried .bash_profile | 17:11 |
| generation_f | test | 17:11 |
| ikonia | keitherz ????? did you even look how to use tee ? | 17:11 |
| keitherz | ? | 17:11 |
| keitherz | im wrong | 17:12 |
| ikonia | keitherz did you look at what tee does ? | 17:12 |
| E_mE | ikonia: its calling Xsession | 17:12 |
| ikonia | E_mE ahhhh ok that explains why it worked before | 17:12 |
| keitherz | read from standard input and write to standard output and files | 17:12 |
| xiven | I think the old one was a sata | 17:12 |
| keitherz | its monitoring the targeted file | 17:12 |
| ikonia | keitherz yes, so I said "you need to put a clever scripted tee session in their .bash_profile - how do you expect that to work from what you've just done | 17:12 |
| E_mE | ikonia: so i create my .xinitrc in my /home/area with /usr/bin/startkde | 17:13 |
| xiven | The new one probably is..but maybe not | 17:13 |
| ikonia | E_mE sounds worth a try | 17:13 |
| CochiseIRL | xiven, how old is the cd your using | 17:13 |
| Profanephobia | darthmarth37|Wk, well your either gonna need a USB CD-ROM drive or maybe install Damn Small Linux or another small distro on a flash drive | 17:13 |

| ikonia | pacoloco a red | 17:17 |
| stian | jhaig, : trying to mount it in vmware... So its a faka cdrom in windows | 17:17 |
| gordonjcp | MartinW: hardly worth the bother, to be honest | 17:17 |
| ikonia | MartinW open the guide you used and reverse everything you did | 17:18 |
| anna | hi | 17:18 |
| anna | there | 17:18 |
| anna | how can install japonese/korean/chinese fonts or characters? | 17:18 |
| happosade | Can you hide -!- notes whit irssi? | 17:18 |
| Drivas | Hmm | 17:18 |
| Drivas | I have a question | 17:18 |
| === happosade is now known as Happosade | ||
| anna | i would like to be able to see those fonts | 17:18 |
| Drivas | why was the PPC version discontinued? | 17:18 |
| pacoloco | I have done the guia but I can't conect | 17:18 |
| Drivas | Out of curiosity | 17:18 |
| MartinW | update-rc.d -f gdm remove. How do I reverse this? I can't find an add anywhere. | 17:18 |
| jhaig | stian: OK, you might be able to use the CD creator to create a CD image. Alternatively, you could just transfer the file onto the Windows VM. Is it networked? | 17:18 |
| MartinW | I tried lots of things | 17:19 |
| ikonia | update-rc.d -f gdm add | 17:19 |
| bsdunix | aninhumer: this is perfect. thanks. seems ubuntu is so far the only easy-install non-broken linux out there. period. | 17:19 |
| stian | jhaig, : yes it's on network, I will try that | 17:19 |
| anna | that is not true Linux Mint is way better then Ubuntu | 17:19 |
| gordonjcp | MartinW: maybe try sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm | 17:19 |
| ikonia | anna thats personal opinion | 17:19 |
| jhaig | stian: Get putty for windows and then you can copy it over ssh. | 17:19 |
| aninhumer | bsdunix, I think aptitude is available in all debian based distros :P | 17:19 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp an excellent suggestion | 17:19 |
| gcarrillo | hi guys | 17:20 |
| gcarrillo | im having trouble with burning | 17:20 |
| gcarrillo | can somebody help me trouble shoot? | 17:20 |
| Profanephobia | gcarrillo, with what app | 17:20 |
| Happosade | anna You keep Ubuntu better than Mint, but there is lots of peoples ;) | 17:20 |
| MilitantPotato | anna: Open synaptic, type in language-support | 17:20 |
| jhaig | stian: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html <- pscp is the one you will need, and you will need an ssh server running on the Linux side. | 17:20 |
| Drivas | ikonia: So is 'seems ubuntu is so far the only easy-install non-broken linux out there. period.' | 17:20 |
| anna | Maybe ,but with linux mint i don't have restless to install codecs or flash | 17:20 |
| anna | ok | 17:20 |
| Drivas | to be fair | 17:20 |
| anna | thx | 17:20 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: i just tried to burn the gutsy live cd with growisofs | 17:20 |
| aninhumer | MartinW, if you didn't have anything important you might want to consider reinstalling, as easier than reverting changes | 17:20 |
| ikonia | Drivas yes, I agree | 17:20 |
| Profanephobia | !o4o > anna Happosade | 17:20 |
| markl_ | anna: linux mint is the Ultimate distro | 17:21 |
| Oscar_Acosta | hi | 17:21 |
| stian | jhaig, : thanx | 17:21 |
| bsdunix | aninhumer: ah, but my first attempt to get to know debian proper was overwhelming. slackware was very good, but seemed a bit bare-bones-you're-on-your-own | 17:21 |
| ivanneto | My Ubuntu box has just one NIC. However, ifconfig shows it as eth1, and not eth0. Any ideas why? | 17:21 |
| Happosade | Linux ultimate :P | 17:21 |
| MilitantPotato | Drivas: Ubuntu is broken if you have an ATI card and use proprietary drivers (3d accell) | 17:21 |
| anna | for sure,but i still use Ubuntu dual boot | 17:21 |
| MartinW | I'm downloading the update now. | 17:21 |
| Oscar_Acosta | Where do I add options to modules that get loaded (especially usbhid in this case)? | 17:21 |
| MilitantPotato | Drivas: but as soon as ATI upgrades to SLUB the issue will be gone. | 17:21 |
| Drivas | MilitantPotato: Indeed | 17:21 |
| ikonia | ivanneto /etc/network/interfaces assigns it | 17:21 |
| MartinW | Not update!! GDM Sorry! Freudian slip. | 17:21 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: since updating to gutsy im getting scsi errors from command line burn tools | 17:21 |
| ivanneto | ikonia: in /etc/network/interfaces it's configured as etho! | 17:22 |
| MilitantPotato | Not having standby is a big let down in gutsy | 17:22 |
| Jimdb | anyone know how to reset the xine audio subsystem without rebooting? | 17:22 |
| johnficc1 | what doees it mean if I do ndiswrapper -l and I get net8185x64 : driver installed | 17:22 |
| johnficc1 | device (10EC:8185) present (alternate driver: r8180) | 17:22 |
| gcarrillo | but my burner is ATA/SATA | 17:22 |
| Profanephobia | gcarrillo, pastebin the errors and send me a link | 17:22 |
| MilitantPotato | but otherwise I'm very happy with the useability | 17:22 |
| gcarrillo | ok | 17:22 |
| ikonia | ivanneto sitck the output of ifconfig -a in the pastebin | 17:22 |
| johnficc1 | what does present (alternate driver: r8180) mean? | 17:23 |
| Drivas | MilitantPotato: Ubuntu is also broken if you try and use 7.04 and above on PPC | 17:23 |
| PyroSama | How do I add a network device to ubuntu? | 17:23 |
| Drivas | I was wondering why they discontinued? | 17:23 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, I don't think xine is an audio subsystem, most systems use alsa, the command to restart is "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils resart" (I think) | 17:23 |
| Pici | !ppc | Drivas | 17:23 |
| ubotu | Drivas: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 17:23 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42829/ | 17:23 |
| gcarrillo | i think i did that right | 17:23 |
| Drivas | Pici oops | 17:23 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, restart even, if it isn't alsa utils, you can tab complete after alsa | 17:23 |
| ikonia | ivanneto check out /etc/iftab | 17:24 |
| Drivas | hmm | 17:24 |
| Drivas | I did not know there was a port | 17:24 |
| Drivas | that is very helpful | 17:24 |
| Drivas | :) | 17:24 |
| Happosade | Hey, if Ubuntu say after some update "boot your computer", do Ctrl + alt + backspace do same think? | 17:24 |
| ivanneto | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/d268c7e6d | 17:24 |
| Happosade | *thing | 17:24 |
| Jimdb | aninhumer: how do i determine the card. it wants the card to complete the command | 17:25 |
| ivanneto | ikonia, will do it. | 17:25 |
| PyroSama | How do I add network devices? I have a computer that only has local loopback and nothing else under if config | 17:25 |
| keito | gparted keeps searching forever, is there any way to just check if my hdd works? | 17:25 |
| ivanneto | ikonia, there's no /etc/iftab in my machine. | 17:25 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, it shouldn't do that, it sounds like your alsa setup may be broken or possibly you're using a different sound architecture | 17:25 |
| Pici | Jimdb: asoundconf -l should list the cards, I'm not sure if it uses the same identifier for the restart command though] | 17:25 |
| ikonia | ivanneto what version of ubuntu are you using | 17:26 |
| MilitantPotato | keito: my gparted does that now also, really annoying. | 17:26 |
| ivanneto | ikonia, 7.10 | 17:26 |
| keito | :( | 17:26 |
| Happosade | Works Ubuntu whit IR/Laset keyboard? | 17:26 |
| aninhumer | Happosade, it depends, if it is a kernel update, it won't some others will | 17:26 |
| Happosade | aninhumer, thanks | 17:26 |
| keito | my hdd should be present, because it was detected in the bios | 17:26 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Hello everyone! | 17:26 |
| keito | i've just built this computer | 17:26 |
| MilhousePunkRock | I am trying to do a "apt-get build-dep linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic" and I get a lot of 404 errors, installing a package from the same archive works fine though, any ideas anyone? | 17:27 |
| Happosade | MilhousePunkRock, Hello | 17:27 |
| === DGJ_ is now known as DGJ | ||
| aninhumer | Happosade, if it is a kernel update, just ignore the icon until you turn your computer off :P | 17:27 |
| MilitantPotato | keito is it formatted and partioned? | 17:27 |
| ivanneto | ikonia, my ubuntu was installed in another machine. I had to take the disk with ubuntu and use it in another machine. In this new machine the first network card appears as eth1. | 17:27 |
| bsdunix | MilitantPotato: now wait just one minute! "MilitantPotato"?? lol. good one | 17:27 |
| pakatatu | how i see the version of ubuntu ? | 17:27 |
| keito | MilitantPotato: nope, that was what i intended to do now. it's brand new | 17:27 |
| Happosade | aninhumer, or restart :) | 17:27 |
| Pici | pakatatu: lsb_release -a | 17:27 |
| Jimdb | aninhumer: what happened was that I had amarok playing tunes. I then went into a website that had a youtube video. It had no sound so I stopped amarok and reloaded the page. it reloaded and began playing. then it stopped responding. i left it alone to give the page time to respond in firefox. firefox, after about 10 minutes began playing the video again with sound. now I can't get amarok to play even though that page is no longer | 17:27 |
| pakatatu | thks :) | 17:27 |
| bsdunix | ^ good gracious! | 17:27 |
| MilitantPotato | keito wait gparted out | 17:28 |
| aninhumer | Happosade, if you want, but it's not necessary | 17:28 |
| steven_ | Hi | 17:28 |
| rellik_ | anyword on vmware-player in ubuntu? last I heard it was taken out of gutsy | 17:28 |
| MilitantPotato | keito: it takes 5 or so minutes for me, but it eventually shows the drives | 17:28 |
| keito | MilitantPotato: ok, thanks. i'll try that | 17:28 |
| Happosade | aninhumer, ok | 17:28 |
| keito | oh wait | 17:29 |
| Jimdb | aninhumer: the command states it wants the card. jimbo@Gutsy32-X2:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils resart nvidia | 17:29 |
| Jimdb | Usage: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils {start [CARD]|stop [CARD]|restart [CARD]|reset [CARD]} | 17:29 |
| Jude | Hi everybody | 17:29 |
| keito | the installer was actually able to find my hdd. i thought it was just another parted gui like gparted | 17:29 |
| keito | then it should be okay | 17:29 |
| MilitantPotato | you're on a liveCD? | 17:30 |
| Jude | i have just installed ubuntu, i'm new in Linux/ubuntu | 17:30 |
| keito | yup ;) | 17:30 |

| MilitantPotato | Hey jude, hope ya have some patience :) | 17:30 |
| Jude | yeah | 17:30 |
| Jude | so what sould i do | 17:30 |
| MilitantPotato | Jude: is it working allright for you? | 17:31 |
| keitherz_ | why wont ls show hidden files and the permissions | 17:31 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, I don't know much about the sound architecture, I just know how to restart it | 17:31 |
| Jude | to fix that | 17:31 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, wait did you put "nvidia" in you command? | 17:31 |
| gordonjcp | keitherz_: because ls -l does that | 17:31 |
| MilitantPotato | Jude: sit in this room :D | 17:31 |
| Happosade | Do Ubuntu handel NAS-works. Whit some IRC-system too. Have to IRC whit my phone :D | 17:31 |
| keitherz_ | oh ok | 17:31 |
| Jimdb | yes, and tried other ways to tell it which device. | 17:31 |
| Lawke | how can I search a program with sudo apt-get in the repos?? | 17:31 |
| toplok | how to launch bittorrent application from the terminal window ? where is it located ? thx | 17:31 |
| steven_ | Hi, i'm on a laptop with a widescreen moditor, i've ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and chosen all available resolutions and enabled nvdia driver from restricted manager, but in System/Preferences/Resolution i can choose only between: "1024x768" "800x600" and "640x480" at 50Hz... xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42831/ | 17:31 |
| gordonjcp | Lawke: do you mean search the repos for a program? | 17:32 |
| mjbunink | Hi all, I hope someone can help me... I have a fresh Gutsy install, and apt-got Thunderbird. But after starting, the app just dies on me, without reason. Does anyone know what I should do? | 17:32 |
| Lawke | gordonjcp, yes | 17:32 |
| MilitantPotato | steven_: what laptop and model? | 17:32 |
| Lawke | but in the terminal.. | 17:32 |
| Jude | Militant Potato, where can i change room please? | 17:32 |
| MilitantPotato | jude, type /join #roomname | 17:32 |
| steven_ | HP Pavillon dv6000 series | 17:32 |
| uu8 | why am i getting this error | 17:32 |
| uu8 | checking for XV... configure: error: Package requirements (xv >= 0.22) | 17:32 |
| uu8 | were not met: | 17:32 |
| Jude | thanks a lot | 17:32 |
| MilhousePunkRock | steven_: I have had this before, go to the system settings and choose/detect the monitor, and you will be able to pick the correct resolution | 17:33 |
| gordonjcp | Lawke: you don't use apt-get, you use "apt-cache search" for that | 17:33 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, that shouldn't be necessary, (the [] mean an optional argument) all I can guess is that your sound hasn't been setup properly somewhere... | 17:33 |
| Happosade | toplok try type BitTorrent (or another bittorrent app name, like qTorrent) | 17:33 |
| Lawke | gordonjcp, thx | 17:33 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, I'm assuming you did try it without any argument after "restart" | 17:33 |
| Qwexer | hello all, I'm looking for a command in terminal to search for a specific file, any suggestions? | 17:33 |
| Jimdb | aninhumer: i have an x-fi card in there as well that linux doesn't know what to do with. | 17:33 |
| Jude | Militant Potato, it doesnt work | 17:34 |
| Jude | where sould i type that? | 17:34 |
| principeb13 | #ubuntu-br | 17:34 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, if you open your System>Prefs>Sound you can see which sound cards are recognised | 17:35 |
| Profanephobia | gcarrillo, and just to be sure your using a blank cd-r correct? | 17:35 |
| uu8 | "checking for XV... configure: error: Package requirements (xv >= 0.22) | 17:35 |
| uu8 | were not met:" which package does x.org need ? | 17:35 |
| steven_ | MilhousePunkRock: tnx | 17:35 |
| MilhousePunkRock | steven_: Did it work? | 17:35 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: correct, blank dvd-r actually | 17:35 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: burning worked in feisty | 17:36 |
| Profanephobia | gcarrillo, do you have a GUI enabled? | 17:36 |
| Jimdb | aninhumer: the x-fi card is not recognized under linux. there are no 32 bit drivers for it from creative. i just haven't taken the time to remove the card from the computer once I found out that linux does not support that card at all. | 17:36 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: but it appears as though the modules were different for the cdrom | 17:36 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: yes | 17:36 |
| Downix | ok, my ubuntu install seems to keep idling out... bizzare | 17:36 |
| MilhousePunkRock | So any ideas on my error 404? | 17:36 |
| darthmarth37|Wk | Where would I find the livecd's vmlinuz and syslinux.cfg files in the Ubuntu archives? | 17:36 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, if your normal card is recognised all you should have to do is "...alsa-utils restart", if there are further problems than that, I'm not sure I can help you sorry :/ | 17:37 |
| void^ | uu8: perhaps libxv-dev, the documentation for the software you're trying to compile should come with a list of dependencies. | 17:37 |
| Profanephobia | gcarrillo, have you tried right-clicking the ISO and in the context menu selecting "Write to Disk"? | 17:37 |
| gordonjcp | MilhousePunkRock: what was the question? | 17:37 |
| uu8 | thanks void^ i'll try that and report back | 17:37 |
| snkmad | how do i configure my mic? i think its not working | 17:37 |
| jstritar | is there a way to use something like "/dev/null" as the X11 display for an application? I don't want the UI for the application to be displayed at all | 17:37 |
| Qwexer | anyone help me with my sound card not working? trying to get the integrated sound card drivers | 17:37 |
| MilhousePunkRock | gordonjcp: I need to build my own kernel with badram support | 17:37 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: also, other burning programs fail in different ways, e.g. one that starts with "wi" (can't remember what the command was named) fails with more scsi errors | 17:37 |
| Lawke | hi, I just installed Pure-FTPD, it auto started, but how do I start it the next time I log on?? | 17:37 |
| MilhousePunkRock | gordonjcp: Following this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 17:38 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: i tried that but it wouldn't let me burn a dvd that way | 17:38 |
| Jimdb | aninhumer: both cards are seen by linux. lspci says the xfi card is there but it can't be used because there are no drivers. the command that you gave matches the required syntax per their help message. I pasted yours in instead of typing. it doesn't reset and it gives that help text in response to issuing the command. | 17:38 |
| JimmyDee | Lawke, did it install something in init.d? | 17:38 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb ah, did you copy my "resart" typo? :P | 17:38 |
| Lawke | JimmyDee, no idea :D | 17:38 |
| MilhousePunkRock | gordonjcp: And and the apt-get build-dep step for the kernel-image, I get error 404 for the archive | 17:39 |
| Lawke | but I wanna config it a little | 17:39 |
| Profanephobia | gcarrillo, first try using a blank cd-r instead of a dvd-r, and pastbin your fstab file so i can see what the mount options are for your drive | 17:39 |
| MilhousePunkRock | gordonjcp: Nevermind, it's working now.. | 17:39 |
| MilitantPotato | MilhousePunkRock: I think ya broke steven_'s display :) | 17:39 |
| Jimdb | aninhumer: lol, yep | 17:39 |
| snkmad | Qwexer lspci | grep Audio | 17:39 |
| Lawke | dunno where the Settings manager is or someting | 17:39 |
| JimmyDee | Lawke, terminal, cd /etc/init.d, ls pureftp* | 17:39 |
| gordonjcp | MilhousePunkRock: it's probably wrong then | 17:39 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, does it work spelt right? :P | 17:39 |
| gordonjcp | MilhousePunkRock: what does "uname -r" say? | 17:39 |
| Jimdb | aninhumer: amarok generates the same message. it did reset asla but amarok still says the same thing. i'll have to wait till later to restart the computer i guess. | 17:40 |
| MilhousePunkRock | gordonjcp: No, must have been something with the mirror, it's working now... | 17:40 |
| cleaton | Hello, is there a way to make rhythmbox minimize to trayicon when i press the close button? | 17:40 |
| jstritar | is there a way to use a "hidden" X11 display... I want to launch an application but not have the GUI show up | 17:40 |
| MilitantPotato | Jude: what room do you want to join? | 17:40 |
| Lawke | JimmyDee, theres a map called pureftpd in it | 17:40 |
| Lawke | is it that? | 17:40 |
| JimmyDee | lawke sudo ./pureftpd restart | 17:40 |
| Jude | room D as you told me | 17:40 |
| gordonjcp | MilhousePunkRock: check your kernel version anyway - make sure you're getting the right kernel! | 17:40 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: the only cd media i have big enough for the gutsy iso is a nonblank cd-rw, so ill have to blank it | 17:40 |
| Lawke | JimmyDee, but I need to find the settings of it | 17:40 |
| keito | i have 2 gb ram, do i even need a swap partition? | 17:40 |
| Lawke | where are these located? | 17:41 |
| MilhousePunkRock | gordonjcp: It's a fresh gutsy install, only one kernel here (except the 1. badram attempt that does not work because I mixed methods) | 17:41 |
| gcarrillo | is there a gui way to erase a cd? | 17:41 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, ah well, the problem might not be alsa after all, the only other thing I could suggest is restarting amaroK, but you may already have done that | 17:41 |
| Qwexer | snkmad: ok did that in terminal and nothing | 17:41 |
| MilhousePunkRock | keito: It won't hurt to have one | 17:41 |
| JimmyDee | lawke /etc/pureftpd | 17:41 |
| aninhumer | Jimdb, ah well, I have pizza waiting anyway | 17:41 |
| Jude | in fact i see the music playing but i cant hear anything | 17:41 |
| aninhumer | toodles all | 17:41 |
| Profanephobia | gcarrillo, before you try that send me ur fstab | 17:41 |
| bsdunix | gcarrillo: try k3b > tools | 17:41 |
| JimmyDee | Lawke, or /etc/pureftpd.conf | 17:41 |
| cleaton | Hello, is there a way to make rhythmbox minimize to trayicon when i press the close button? | 17:41 |
| gcarrillo | ok | 17:41 |
| snkmad | Qwexer hum, means it hasnt detected your sound card | 17:42 |
| keito | MilhousePunkRock: will a 256 MB one do then? | 17:42 |
| JimmyDee | Lawke, youre all set to run at restart btw | 17:42 |
| snkmad | Qwexer what motherboard is it? | 17:42 |
| MilhousePunkRock | keito: I'd make it bigger than your real RAM, in case you want to use supend-to-disk | 17:42 |
| cleaton | Hello, is here a way to make rythmbox to close when i press close, and not quit? | 17:42 |
| aninhumer | gah no pizza :( back to questions! | 17:42 |

| MilhousePunkRock | Questions, aninhumer? Why is badram not included in the kernel already? | 17:43 |
| JimmyDee | aninhumer, www.papajohns.com | 17:43 |
| Jude | Militant Potato, do you have any idea on my problem? | 17:43 |
| aninhumer | cleaton, you mean like, minimise to tray? | 17:43 |
| Qwexer | snkmad: intel 440bx chipset | 17:43 |
| cleaton | aninhumer, yes | 17:43 |
| MilhousePunkRock | keito: It does on my laptop, does not (yet) on my secondary desktop, never tried on the primary desktop | 17:43 |
| keito | hmmmmm | 17:44 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Why do the kernel sources depend on latex stuff? | 17:44 |
| aninhumer | cleaton, I don't think there is yet, I've been clicking the tray icon instead of close button | 17:44 |

| Lawke | I can't write anything in files in /etc/..... | 17:44 |
| JimmyDee | lawke use sudo | 17:44 |

| abelabel | hi, when going to system -> preferences -> sound and testing my USB sound card (that was working before upgrading to 7.10) generates a short beep, then aborts the sound settings panel. Also, trying to play music in Rhythmbox aborts the program. When using the internal sound chip, everything works fine. Any thoughts on what is going on? | 17:45 |

| snkmad | Qwexer its strange, such an old chip should be supported. Are you sure its enabled on the bios or jumper settings? | 17:46 |
| Davy_Jones | it's listed as sdd1 | 17:46 |
| darthmarth37|Wk | Davy_Jones: mkdosfs /dev/sdd1 | 17:46 |
| aninhumer | Jimme1, I think it's "export VARNAME=value" | 17:46 |
| Jimme1 | darthmarth37|Wk, how can I show what that variable is set to currently? | 17:46 |
| JimmyDee | XRayMan, you have broadcom, run screaming | 17:46 |

| darthmarth37|Wk | Davy_Jones: Ever used fdisk before? | 17:49 |
| XRayMan | MilhousePunkRock: I'm asking on behalf of the user.. he said that he tried a manual configuration... I enabled "roaming", but still a right-click on NM only shows an "Enable Networking" option, not "Enable Wireless". | 17:49 |
| Jimme1 | darthmarth37|Wk, I get nothing. I am reading from a failed GTK 2.10.14 ./configure that's still seeing the old GLIB I have, and the new GLIB I compiled, and getting confused. It says " You may also be able to fix the error by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable..." - Do you know what I should do? | 17:49 |

| Chamunks | Hey i have a hypothetical... If one were to use the encrypted file system install from the alternate install disk is it possible to ever allow another operating system to read the encrypted file system? | 17:49 |
| XRayMan | MilhousePunkRock: Nevermind... there was a delay after I enabled it. | 17:49 |
| Davy_Jones | darthmarth37|Wk: yes.. but with fdisk, i have to delete the partition and recreate it which i find a little stupid.. i mean formatting should be easier | 17:49 |

| MilhousePunkRock | XRayMan: Try to delete the /etc/network/interfaces to begin with | 17:49 |
| Jude | cause nobody want to help me | 17:49 |
| XRayMan | MilhousePunkRock: Thanks for pointing me. :) | 17:49 |
| darthmarth37|Wk | Davy_Jones: That's an easy fix. | 17:49 |
| Jude | i am so sorry | 17:49 |
| Chamunks | Say in the case of having to forcefully reinstall | 17:50 |
| Qwexer | wait I've done that already nothing there | 17:50 |
| JimmyDee | hey jude, dont take it bad....take a sad song, and make it better | 17:50 |
| darthmarth37|Wk | Davy_Jones: Do fdisk /dev/sdd, and there you'll want to change the partition's system ID to 0b. | 17:50 |
| snkmad | Qwexer i cant really help you further than | 17:50 |
| aninhumer | JimmyDee, that will get old fast... | 17:50 |
| MilhousePunkRock | gordonjcp: So the sources will be in /usr/src? Or is that the old stuff from my first attempt? | 17:50 |
| snkmad | other than telling to test the sound with windows.... | 17:51 |
| JimmyDee | aninhumer, it had to be done | 17:51 |

| JimmyDee | Jude, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | cleaton try rhythmbox --help see if it has some command line options | 17:53 |

| Jude | thanks im gonna try | 17:54 |
| flappie | jimmyDee>it still fails | 17:54 |
| I-love-debian | yo mofos | 17:54 |
| cleaton | Dr_Willis, there isn't :( | 17:54 |
| gcarrillo | what module should drive the cdrom on a ATA/SATA bus? | 17:54 |
| JimmyDee | flappie, sudo apt-get remove --purge brokenpackage | 17:54 |
| skelter | any sound experts here? For some reason my audio has been really quiet. Everything (I can find) is turned up to 100% though. Is there another CP I might be missing? | 17:54 |
| Dr_Willis | cleaton thats odd. Most other media players ive seen have --queue and --pause and other options | 17:54 |
| I-love-debian | how can I get a partition on a partiton on a mnted hardrive, that i'm currently using? NTFS partiton | 17:54 |
| JimmyDee | flappie, where brokenpackage = your problem packagename | 17:55 |
| kst- | how do you get gdesklets to work with gutsy? mine crashs when i try to open the shell.. | 17:55 |
| gcarrillo | and how can i tell which module is associated with the cdrom? | 17:55 |
| flappie | yes | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | I-love-debian that was a bit confusing. :) You can mount NTFS partitions and access them from linux. | 17:55 |
| cleaton | Dr_Willis, i know :/ i used banshee before and it had --play | 17:55 |
| flappie | it says I have to reinstall it but it couldnt find a package | 17:55 |
| Pici | !ntfs | I-love-debian | 17:55 |
| Chamunks | so basically be careful in such cases to make sure there would be a backup of crucial data than to a reliable system... | 17:55 |
| sm | all: my xorg.conf has gone bad, how do I regenerate it ? | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | cleaton there may be some related remote-control type commands or some other ways to controll it. | 17:55 |
| flappie | jimmyDee>it says I have to reinstall it but it couldnt find a package | 17:55 |
| Jude | JimmyDee it still doesnt work | 17:55 |
| Profanephobia | gcarrillo, and it's a SCSI drive? | 17:55 |
| JimmyDee | sm, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 17:55 |
| Chamunks | sm, thats a good question | 17:56 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: no its an ATA drive | 17:56 |
| I-love-debian | I have mounted, I want it to become 50% linux while i'm runing linux from the harddrive withc is ntfs | 17:56 |
| sm | thanks.. trying that | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis | If you just remove the xorg.conf and restart X - will that kick in that 'bullet proof X' feature under gutsy? | 17:56 |
| kkathman | is there a parabolic menu (like OS-X) that works under gnome?? | 17:56 |
| Pici | I-love-debian: You need to unmount the drive before you repartition it. | 17:56 |
| Chamunks | sm, what i did was just copied the xorg.conf from the live disk lol | 17:56 |
| Pici | kkathman: A dock? | 17:56 |
| flappie | jimmyDee>it says I have to reinstall it but it couldnt find a package | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis | I-love-debian you mean you want to resize the partition. I suggest a live cd that has the gparted tool. | 17:56 |
| aninhumer | I-love-debian, you might be better using a livecd to edit partitions | 17:57 |
| void^ | uu8: it has all those packages. run a few searches in apt/synaptics/whatever. | 17:57 |
| Profanephobia | gcarrillo, and have you tried burning with an app like k3b or brasero? | 17:57 |
| sm | on this feisty machine at least, X starts up well with it removed - except it's 640x480 and doesn't recognize some peripherals | 17:57 |
| cleaton | Dr_Willis, i'm looking for that now, do you know if they have a irc channel? they have ctrl+space as command for play, maybe i can use that in some way | 17:57 |
| JimmyDee | flappie, and the install is broken...hurm | 17:57 |
| kkathman | Pici well I dunno if I'd call it a dock - I tried AWN for instance and its a launcher AND a taskbar which is really not what I want | 17:57 |
| Dr_Willis | cleaton i dont use that tool. so no idea. check the programs homepage/forums would be a start. | 17:57 |
| kkathman | Pici, Im looking for something like ksmoothdock, only that works | 17:57 |
| gcarrillo | Profanephobia: no i haven't | 17:57 |
| aninhumer | sm, those will be the defaults that it uses without a conf | 17:57 |
| flappie | jimmyDee> its very weird, cant reinstall it cant fix it | 17:57 |
| sm | right | 17:58 |
| uu8 | void^: further i get these version related errors | 17:58 |
| uu8 | Requested 'renderproto >= 0.9.3' but version of RenderProto is 0.9.2 | 17:58 |
| uu8 | Requested 'pixman-1 >= 0.9.5' but version of Pixman is 0.9.4 | 17:58 |
| sm | is using the kernel framebuffer a good idea ? | 17:58 |
| JimmyDee | flappie, dpkg --configure -a didnt work? | 17:58 |
| Hammerhead | shfs on Fiesty anyone? | 17:58 |
| flappie | nope | 17:58 |
| aninhumer | sm, probably doesn't matter like it says | 17:58 |
| Pici | kkathman: I was going to suggest awn, so... I dont know, sorry | 17:58 |
| sm | I wonder why it asks me | 17:58 |
| kkathman | Pici have you worked with AWN?? | 17:58 |
| flappie | jimmyDee> I guess Ill have to override the error but how | 17:58 |
| I-love-debian | I cannot boot cds | 17:58 |
| Hammerhead | Can not get it to build | 17:58 |
| Chamunks | can someone trigger the bot to send me to some rsync howto's ?? | 17:58 |
| Jimme1 | I am reading from a failed GTK 2.10.14 ./configure that's still seeing the old GLIB I have, and the new GLIB I compiled, and getting confused.

| MilhousePunkRock | tico55: Great, that should be an atheros based chipset, I have the same (T23) | 18:09 |
| tico55 | no hard wired and also my wireless card which is a dlink DWL- ag650 | 18:09 |
| pike_ | tico55: lspci -v should tell you the chipset of the card then search ubuntuforums.org for it that shuld be a good starting place | 18:09 |
| MilhousePunkRock | !ask | bofphile | 18:09 |
| ubotu | bofphile: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 18:09 |
| void^ | uu8: if you want the latest git/cvs version of some software you either build it yourself or find binaries. it's rather unusual to actually need such current versions. | 18:10 |
| bluesky | void^ : what's wrong to with building from cvs/svn/git ? | 18:10 |
| JimmyDee | !works for me | 18:10 |
| ubotu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. | 18:10 |
| tico55 | I am a windows guy a real newbie with linux what does that mean lol | 18:10 |
| aninhumer | MilitantPotato, not sure where it is :/ | 18:10 |

| Downix | I HAVE UBUNTU ON SPARC!!! | 18:11 |
| Downix | took me a full week to get it working | 18:11 |
| bofphile | ok, it's an issue I always had with ubuntu (dapper/feisty/gutsy). I've even made a thread on the ubuntuforum but with no solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=335380 | 18:11 |
| frojnd | Does anyone here use ati card. I specificly use mobility x1400 and if he or she managed to install driver. And where were the howtos posted | 18:11 |
| kemik_ | tico55: that you need a terminal and type the command "lspci -v" | 18:11 |
| pike_ | tico55: if you open a terminal and type lspci -v itll list most of your hardware. tell you you have nvidia or ati and such | 18:11 |
| Downix | except... now my video is out of range! | 18:12 |
| Downix | eek, I can't even see my screen | 18:12 |
| kemik_ | tico55: you can open a terminal in teh programmenu, top left | 18:12 |
| snkmad | Qwexer did you saw this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToSetupSoundCards | 18:12 |
| aninhumer | MilitantPotato, AHA, delete /root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf (you'll need sudo privleges) | 18:12 |
| crf | hi I have Ubuntu 6.06. I have a usb mouse. When I resume after hibernating the computer, the USB mouse doesn't work. Is there a fix or workaround? | 18:12 |
| MilitantPotato | aninhumer: awsome. | 18:12 |
| agnes_s | please help me with Artwiz fonts , i think i've tried everything | 18:12 |
| MilhousePunkRock | crf: Install a later kernel... | 18:13 |
| aninhumer | MilitantPotato, don't worry about your prefs either, it just contains WM info AFAICS | 18:13 |
| uu8 | void^: i agree with you, i should not need to, but they left the kdrive/evdev out of the build in gutsy, in order to get that on gutsy, i am trying all solutions, is there a way, that xorg module will build with lower versions of the software that its complaining about (ala --force etc)? | 18:13 |
| aninhumer | MilitantPotato, oh and it might welcome you to ubuntu again | 18:13 |
| MilhousePunkRock | crf: Or rather, upgrade to 7.10, that's the first version where it works | 18:13 |
| MilitantPotato | aninhumer: I gedit't it first to be sure :) | 18:13 |
| crf | hmm. Ok :), thanks MilhousePunkRock. | 18:13 |
| kemik_ | crf: tried reconnecting it to the computer? i have that issue with a usb mouse in windows too :/ | 18:13 |
| aninhumer | MilitantPotato, you'e so trusting :P | 18:13 |
| crf | Well, I unplugged it and replugged it back in. | 18:14 |
| MilitantPotato | aninhumer: After some guy told me envy was my video driver cure it changed me :D | 18:14 |
| MilhousePunkRock | kemik_: It's rather that USB is dead after hibernate on kernels before 2.6.22 | 18:14 |
| tico55 | thanks guys | 18:14 |
| tico55 | I will give it a try | 18:14 |
| kemik_ | MilitantPotato: ok =) figured my windows fix possibly could help :D | 18:14 |
| bofphile | I always have 100% CPU usage for a few seconds when I load a page (even without flash or java). It's really strang ebecause this doesn't happen on windows | 18:15 |
| flappie | jimmyDee: great I managed to get the installer working with: dpkg -i --force-f packagename | 18:15 |
| MilitantPotato | kemik_: it did, thanks a ton, it was extremely annoying. | 18:15 |
| JimmyDee | flappie, hooray! | 18:15 |
| Qwexer | snkmad: I was here, but I'll check that out too, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 18:15 |
| bofphile | I have the fglrx driver installed, and I already tried firefox with a new profile without any extension. | 18:15 |
| flappie | jimmyDee> anyway thanks for your help. If you got someone with this question next time, you got the answer :) | 18:15 |
| snkmad | Qwexer ok | 18:15 |

| ferronica | will my webcam works on pdigin ? | 18:17 |
| ferronica | i have Logitech Quick cam fusion :) | 18:17 |
| kemik_ | what did i do? i thought my hint didnt work for you :) | 18:18 |
| Qwexer | I just swapped the mem and HD to another case, maybe it was the MB | 18:18 |
| MilhousePunkRock | crf: It will work fine with 7.10. But other things might break, you have been warned | 18:18 |
| aninhumer | ferronica, it depends which protocol you want to use I think | 18:18 |
| kemik_ | MilhousePunkRock: 7.10 aint no good ? | 18:18 |
| aninhumer | ferronica, I don't think there's support for MSN video chat for example | 18:18 |
| MilhousePunkRock | kemik_: I did not say that, but from what I heard, many people have problems with upgrading. I did a fresh install, all is fine here | 18:19 |
| RedBand | can anyone tell me how to format my hd to HFS with gparted livecd | 18:19 |
| Qwexer | nope same problem, sigh back the drawing board, hehe I'll go to that site you gave me now | 18:19 |
| aninhumer | ferronica, although there is the amsn client which does | 18:19 |
| kemik_ | MilhousePunkRock: ahh.. well, never had good luck with upgrading desktop installs.. however, went across 4 versions on my server, went smooth.. but will do a clean install of Gutsy now (actually just about to burn th einstall CD! ) =) | 18:20 |
| Downix | ok, it looks like kubuntu doesn't have dhcp working | 18:20 |
| pike_ | RedBand: im not sure you can.. ext fat minix xfs and such but ive never tried hfs | 18:20 |
| MilhousePunkRock | kemik_: Good luck! | 18:20 |
| Downix | how do I start it manually? (I noticed there is no dhcpclient command) | 18:21 |
| RedBand | oh, i think you can because ppl at insanelymac seem to be doing it. Thanks anyway :) | 18:22 |
| aninhumer | btw, is there an easier way to start a line with someone's nickname than typing it or C+Ping it (hard with scrolling text window)? | 18:22 |
| jhattu | A stupid question about pidgin: When I block someone, do he/she get a message that I blocked him/her? | 18:23 |
| Enselic | aninhumer: C+Ping? | 18:23 |
| icd | no =p | 18:23 |
| bluesky | jhattu : no | 18:23 |
| Enselic | aninhumer: just Tab-complete nicknames | 18:23 |
| bluesky | jhattu : he just won't see you online | 18:23 |
| bluesky | jhattu : so after a period of time he/she will probably realize you blocked him/her | 18:23 |
| icd | erm, hi, is there a channel where i can get some help on css/html? | 18:23 |
| bluesky | jhattu : btw not being noticed is pretty much the point of blocking | 18:23 |
| Enselic | jhattu: you can see if a person has blocked you with Pidgin, just hover the nicknames | 18:24 |
| icd | havent been on IRC for like 3 years :P | 18:24 |
| bluesky | icd : #html I suppose :) | 18:24 |
| jhattu | bluesky. nice. thanks. so I dare to block people and still do it in a polite way - so that they do not even now that I blokced them? | 18:24 |
| aninhumer | jhattu, it may depend on protocol too? | 18:24 |
| icd | oh yeah | 18:24 |
| * icd slaps head | 18:24 | |
| icd | ty <3 | 18:24 |
| aninhumer | Enselic, aha :P | 18:24 |
| jhattu | Enselic: good point. | 18:24 |
| aninhumer | Enselic, thanks | 18:24 |
| bluesky | aninhumer : jhattu : nope | 18:24 |
| jhattu | aninhumer: I wish to block people from MSN ;-) | 18:24 |
| Qwexer | ok so when I type in sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0...what is supposed to happen? I get a PW prompt and then nothing | 18:24 |
| bluesky | Enselic : I don't think so : you see if YOU have blocked him/her | 18:24 |
| jhattu | bluesky: thanks for the correction. | 18:24 |
| Enselic | bluesky: ah yes, that's probably true | 18:25 |
| tico55 | back go bumped | 18:25 |
| ferronica | i dont use msn even in yahoo :( | 18:25 |
| Enselic | Qwexer: if everything went ok, you will get no output | 18:25 |
| jhattu | But why would you keep a name on your buddy list if you have blocked him/her? | 18:25 |
| tico55 | so when I run lspci -v in terminal it will tell me the hardware I have in the machine | 18:25 |
| aninhumer | jhattu, yeah, with MSN they just won't see that you're online, although it may not make a difference with protocol | 18:25 |
| deepfreez | Hi, how is the command ? apt-get --purge proftpd or what? for purge this proggram | 18:25 |
| bluesky | aninhumer : you're right | 18:25 |
| bluesky | deepfreez : sudo apt-get remove --purge proftpd | 18:26 |
| Qwexer | ok so I do that, then try to use the alsamixer and get a function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such device | 18:26 |
| MilhousePunkRock | deepfreez: apt-get remove --purge <package> | 18:26 |
| deepfreez | tnx bluefox83 | 18:26 |
| deepfreez | ups | 18:26 |
| deepfreez | bluesky ;) | 18:26 |
| MilhousePunkRock | like bluesky said | 18:26 |
| bluesky | aninhumer : in fact I think the blocking feature is handled server-side | 18:26 |
| bluesky | deepfreez : ur welcome | 18:26 |
| bluesky | Qwexer : try "alsamixer -c 1" | 18:26 |

| bluesky | boulba : well, maybe with Beryl it's possible | 18:28 |
| bluesky | boulba : did you went through all the options dialogs ? | 18:29 |
| boulba | aninhumer: how ? | 18:29 |
| tico55 | it look like from running that comand that it sees the card why dont it work | 18:29 |

| Pici | nerochiaro: You mean when you install? | 18:36 |
| nerochiaro | Pici: even without installing, just while running the livecd | 18:37 |

| dissonans | this has happened to me about 2 out 4 times btw ... | 18:37 |
| Pici | nerochiaro: I cant think of any way of doing it inside the livecd, but you could disable it in your bios. | 18:38 |

| burwaco | Pici, riotkittie what was 5.10 than ? | 18:40 |
| Crazy|One | I cannot watch avi files on my laptop running ubuntu gutsy. did apt-get install avi win32 codecs, mplayer and xine | 18:40 |
| riotkittie | 5.10 was before my time. it might have been breezy? | 18:41 |

| Pici | kylequamme: I dont think so, what language do you need help with? there are quite a few language specific channels here. | 18:43 |
| Whitor | vlc > all | 18:43 |
| dissonans | vlc is crash prone I find | 18:43 |
| kylequamme | Pici: i am in need of a plugin or program that will monitor sound card silence | 18:43 |
| FluxD | I find VLC the most crash-unprone :/ | 18:43 |
| dissonans | lucky you I suppose | 18:44 |
| riotkittie | Usr1: i'm sure that there are, but 'decent' is a relative term. for example, some people would consider the plot of say, neopets, to be decent. | 18:44 |
| vulcanius | i've had MPlayer crash tons but never VLC | 18:44 |
| Pici | kylequamme: mm.. Maybe the ##programming people can point you in the right direction | 18:44 |

| Juhaz | nerochiaro, hrm. http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/11/88 might be the reason. if the livecd is modular (can't check now), then there's probably no way without remastering it. | 18:44 |

| Juhaz | nerochiaro, also, if it's recent, tried with sda? the hd naming for ide devices changed a while ago. | 18:45 |

| DemonCleaner | anybody here experienced with ati + ubuntu? i just can start/install ubuntu in konsole-version | 18:45 |
| nerochiaro | Juhaz: the error it reports is in hda, though. the livecd is that of gutsy | 18:45 |
| riotkittie | heh. i cant suggest any; i'm not a gamer. :x | 18:46 |

| resuba | Guys i have a real big problem i have installed windows over ubuntu and naturaly it overwrote the boot sector.. iam on live cd and cannot mount because i cannot list my home partition maybe it is because it is a sata drive fdisk -l wont even list it | 18:46 |

| Yasumoto | riaal_: actually, make that sudo aptitude install vim-common | 19:41 |
| fyrestrtr | szkud: a Windows *partition* or a Windows *installation* ? | 19:41 |
| fyrestrtr | Yasumoto: sudo aptitude install vim is shorter ;) | 19:41 |
| jessd | burwaco: Yap, is usally just small text and compresses to a itty little packet of goodness. Want real paranoid? I check my entire etc directory into an SVN repository | 19:41 |

| leladia | jessd: its still not working | 19:43 |
| fyrestrtr | roll: unless you are doing something very specific, then you will not notice it. You would see better performance by increasing the speed of your disk or increasing the ram on your laptop. | 19:43 |

| erstazi | CesarAndreu: the LiveCD will allow you to do that | 20:28 |
| Taras | anyone knows how to use ettercap ? | 20:28 |
| erstazi | CesarAndreu: ISO == LiveCD | 20:28 |
| CesarAndreu | ok, so just boot it up and write over it? | 20:28 |
| erstazi | CesarAndreu: that will work | 20:28 |
| fyrestrtr | xTheGoat121x: restore the xorg backup. | 20:28 |
| CesarAndreu | ok, thank you, could you tell me how to run the iso from a pendrive? | 20:29 |
| fyrestrtr | xTheGoat121x: the xorg.conf backup, there should be one called xorg.conf.1 | 20:29 |
| erstazi | CesarAndreu: make sure you select the correct partition if you have more than one partition | 20:29 |
| xTheGoat121x | fyrestrtr, where would I find that? | 20:29 |
| fyrestrtr | xTheGoat121x: /etc/X11/ | 20:29 |
| erstazi | CesarAndreu: your bios will need to have USB as a boot option | 20:29 |
| hypn0 | oh lammy, I didn't read your question properly, sorry, add a buddy :-) | 20:29 |
| erstazi | CesarAndreu: besides that, I cannot help you | 20:29 |
| flixh | agroker: does hdparm -B and hdparm -S work for you? | 20:29 |
| elwario91 | hello | 20:29 |
| CesarAndreu | ah, I see, so I should just place the ISO alone on the pendrive? | 20:29 |
| elwario91 | can you use modules compiled on another kernel version on a new kernel? | 20:29 |
| blizzkid | CesarAndreu, booting the iso from a pendrive is a real pain in the ..., I did it, but it's not simple to do | 20:29 |
| agroker | flixh, I did not try those yet (yes, saw them in Paul's blog) | 20:29 |
| creepindacellar | !motd | 20:29 |
| RivaeAerya | Hello all. I'm experiencing random crashes lately which prevent me from doing anything, even switching with Ctrl+Alt+F1 to the REAL console (tty's), and i'm forced to reboot my machine. I suspect it's because of compiz fusion. Why does this happen? | 20:30 |
| CesarAndreu | ok, I'll go get a CD then | 20:30 |
| erstazi | I have configured dhcpd3-server and I keep getting this: * Starting DHCP server dhcpd3 ...fail! when I restart and start (even when I stop) | 20:30 |

| blizzkid | erstazi, to boot the iso from a pendrive, you have to set up 2 partitions, one holding the iso, and one holding vmlinuz, and initrd, but not the ones included in the iso ;) | 20:31 |
| CesarAndreu | thank you | 20:31 |
| erstazi | blizzkid: not me | 20:31 |
| erstazi | blizzkid: wrong person | 20:31 |
| fyrestrtr | RivaeAerya: disable compiz fusion, it is not production quality yet and still has some bugs. | 20:31 |
| agroker | flixh, you will laugh, I read about this bug today morning on the blog of certain linux hater ;-) | 20:31 |
| creepindacellar | !wireless | 20:31 |

| blizzkid | erstazi, neh, I saw you said you didn't know how to do it, so I gave you an advice ;) | 20:31 |
| erstazi | blizzkid: I didn't say I didn't | 20:31 |
| maniaxmax | is there a way to remove the sda1 drive from my desktop? | 20:31 |
| erstazi | but besides doing a USB boot, thats all | 20:32 |
| blizzkid | wise decision CesarAndreu | 20:32 |
| erstazi | some bios' do not have the option to boot from USB | 20:32 |
| flixh | agroker: yeah, it's very good troll food :-( | 20:32 |
| CesarAndreu | I think mine doesn't | 20:32 |
| RivaeAerya | fyrestrtr: i'd rather not. | 20:32 |

| NDPTAL85 | Alrighty than | 20:32 |
| xTheGoat121x | fyrestrtr, I don't often work in the CLI... what would the command be to rename that file? | 20:32 |
| agroker | flixh, currently I got 80K Load_cycles on my dell note after ~1 year usage | 20:32 |
| blizzkid | CesarAndreu, you're in ubuntu now, right? | 20:32 |
| CesarAndreu | no, I'm in Vista | 20:32 |
| agroker | flixh, unfortunately :-( | 20:32 |
| NDPTAL85 | My Ubuntu 7.10 install seems to shut off whenever the CPU gets really busy. Never did this with previous versions. Any idea on how to stop this? | 20:32 |
| maniaxmax | src: ok ill try that, thanks | 20:32 |
| flixh | argoker: does not sound too bad, i got roughly 400000 after 2 years | 20:32 |
| RivaeAerya | fyrestrtr: although strange thing is, this did not happen yesterday and the days before. It started happening today, and compiz fusion has always been on. But i've been meddling with the settings lately | 20:33 |
| erstazi | NDPTAL85: laptop? | 20:33 |
| blizzkid | CesarAndreu, I mean, the pc you want to install gutsy on, is feisty, right? | 20:33 |
| fyrestrtr | xTheGoat121x: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf-original && sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.1 /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo shutdown -r now | 20:33 |
| NDPTAL85 | erstazi: YEah a Lattitude 400 or so | 20:33 |
| CesarAndreu | fiesty is 7.04? | 20:33 |
| fyrestrtr | RivaeAerya: unmeddle then :) | 20:33 |
| blizzkid | yes | 20:33 |
| erstazi | NDPTAL85: might be the hard drive power saving settings | 20:33 |

| IneedHelp | ? | 20:34 |
| napster_ | blizzkid: i tried it and it sed i already had the latest version. and it still wont mount | 20:34 |
| CesarAndreu | I can write the ISO to a DVD, right? | 20:34 |
| sjovan | IneedHelp: type xinit in the terminal... | 20:34 |
| blizzkid | CesarAndreu, you don't really need a cd | 20:34 |

| SJrX | whatabout Ubuntu Server 6.06 to whatever there is now? | 20:43 |
| StinkyStank | hello | 20:43 |
| void^ | agroker: gpl software is distributed without a guarantee. however - ubuntu doesn't modify disk parameters by default so those people having problems are most likely suffering from bad default settings.. in that case they can file a complaint with the disk manufacturer :) | 20:43 |
| StinkyStank | just a quick question | 20:43 |
| flixh | agroker, sure but how do you know your harddrive died because the heads were mechanically damaged due to parking/unparking? | 20:43 |
| dahitokiri | blizzkid: if ntfs-3g is installed using ubuntu's package manager, do i still need to use it with mount manually? | 20:43 |
| blizzkid | SJrX, as far as I know, you can't in one go | 20:43 |
| fyrestrtr | dahitokiri: depending on how you have setup your torrents; if your clients are pre-reserving disk space, then this is likely the cause. | 20:43 |
| blizzkid | yes dahitokiri | 20:44 |
| SJrX | diabolical | 20:44 |
| StinkyStank | how do i go to full screen on gnome rdp? | 20:44 |
| napster_ | blizzkid: it gives the same thing as when i just double click on the icon for it | 20:44 |
| nickrud | SJrX: no, you'd need to upgrade thru edgy & feisty, since upgrades are only supported from on release to the next | 20:44 |
| blizzkid | napster_, and that is? | 20:44 |
| IMYojimbo | anyone use Eclipse Jigloo? | 20:44 |
| SJrX | nickrud but I can upgrade right? | 20:44 |
| flixh | void^, looking at some comments from Blue on the various bug reports, it looks as if Ubuntu IS changing drive parameters! | 20:44 |
| SJrX | I'm looking at getting a Virtual Server, that has Ubuntu 6.06 | 20:44 |
| SJrX | on it, so I want to upgrade it | 20:44 |
| nickrud | SJrX: sure; but if you have a lot of apps installed, it might make sense to reinstall | 20:44 |
| dahitokiri | fyrestrtr: so i should have them not pre-allocate any space? and i should use ntfs-3g manually with mount? | 20:44 |
| StinkyStank | I tried ctrl alt and enter and it makes the screen bigger but not the desktop window | 20:44 |
| agroker | void^, you agree this situation is harmful to ubuntu movement as a whole? | 20:44 |

| sjovan | quantumsu: auto like getting a ip from the router? is that what you mean? | 20:48 |
| T` | i have a core duo but only see one core | 20:48 |
| fyrestrtr | dahitokiri: I have also used the ext3 driver for Windows with great success an no such issues. | 20:48 |
| maniaxmax | dahitokiri: what is that? | 20:48 |
| IneedHelp | I opened it with...sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:48 |
| flixh | void^: according to Blue's comments he just exchanged hdparm with a logging script in a clean install, and it is called with the harmfull hdparm -B 1, so it does not really matter if laptop_mode is enabled or not. | 20:48 |
| IneedHelp | but there is nothing displaying on the screen | 20:48 |
| dahitokiri | maniaxmax: that's application that launches the login screen | 20:48 |
| quantumsummers | sjovan: like the auto discovery mode for network manager | 20:48 |
| minimec | maniaxmax: I think you have to install gnome-splash-manager | 20:49 |
| sjovan | IneedHelp: after teh reconfigure i think you need to restart. try that. and have sjovan: infront of the text, so the msg gets highlited | 20:49 |
| maniaxmax | minimec: ok ill try that, thanks | 20:49 |
| dahitokiri | fyrestrtr: yeah, but my linux drive is only 8 gb, so i see no point in mounting it on my windows. i was looking forward to basically switching to linux for all my needs since ntfs writing is available now | 20:49 |
| blizzkid | napster_, you installed ntfsprogs? | 20:49 |
| napster_ | blizzkid: still wont mount | 20:49 |
| quantumsummers | sjovan: it seems to be in manual config mode & I can't get it off that mode | 20:49 |
| sjovan | quantumsu: is it a wireless issue or? | 20:49 |
| IneedHelp | sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:50 |
| IneedHelp | whoops | 20:50 |
| napster_ | blizzkid: yes | 20:50 |
| IneedHelp | sjovan: ahhh sorry... didnt know :) | 20:50 |
| quantumsummers | sjovan: both wired & wireless, it was working fine then I messed it up | 20:50 |
| bobgill | Can I take an ext3 partition of say 200gb which has 100gb of data on it already and make a new partition out of it, ie., taking 50gb off it and making a new partition ?? | 20:50 |
| blizzkid | napster_, after you installed ntfsprogs, do (sudo) ntfsfix /dev/sdb1 | 20:50 |
| sjovan | ineedhelp: np :) | 20:50 |
| flixh | void^, BTW: for me laptop_mode reduces the Load_Cycle to (still to high) 2-5/min, without it's up to 10/min... | 20:50 |
| svilla | hola | 20:50 |
| sjovan | ineedhelp: but try a re-start | 20:50 |
| Comrade-Sergei | besides dd whats a good gui based tool to clone a HDD? | 20:50 |
| napster_ | blizzkid: then? | 20:50 |
| minimec | maniaxmax: it's gnome-splashscreen--manager ;) | 20:51 |
| StinkyStank | no ideas? re:full screen gnome rdp? | 20:51 |
| blizzkid | napster_, it'll try to correct errors | 20:51 |
| napster_ | blizzkid: it worked...u r a king...thank u so much | 20:51 |
| quantumsummers | sjovan: enable roaming is checked but it won't de-config for some reason | 20:51 |
| svilla | i would put mi contact list in pidgin showing the e-mail it's posible? | 20:51 |
| blizzkid | np napster_ | 20:51 |
| void^ | flixh: i've just grepped my ubuntu systems for calls to hdparm and traced them back .. i'll use a logging script just to be sure.. | 20:51 |
| napster_ | blizzkid: will i have 2 ever do it again? | 20:51 |
| IneedHelp | sjovan: the root login is the one I made the "user" from when I installed correct? | 20:51 |
| dahitokiri | blizzkid: what does ntfsfix do? | 20:51 |
| blizzkid | napster_, if you use the disk on windows too: possibly, if not: probably not | 20:52 |
| sjovan | quantumsu: can you pm? | 20:52 |
| quantumsummers | yes | 20:52 |
| sjovan | ineedhelp: yes | 20:52 |
| napster_ | kewl | 20:52 |
| napster_ | thnx | 20:52 |
| [Thom] | How can I find a large example of a SMTP server log? An open relay isn't a great option, but would work in a pinch I suppose. | 20:52 |
| blizzkid | dahitokiri, it tries to correct errors in the MFT | 20:52 |
| svilla | how could i put mi contact list in pidgin showing the e-mail it's posible? | 20:52 |
| StinkyStank | ok i'll try again later | 20:52 |
| dahitokiri | blizzkid: so on windows if chkdsk is showing errors for my ntfs disks, i can/should run ntfsfix on linux on them? | 20:52 |
| sjovan | svilla: don't use pidgin :) | 20:52 |
| StinkyStank | you all seem busy | 20:52 |
| StinkyStank | :) | 20:53 |
| Comrade-Sergei | besides dd whats a good gui based tool to clone a HDD? | 20:53 |
| quantumsummers | sjovan: I'm using pidgin...I have IMed/PMed you | 20:53 |
| blizzkid | dahitokiri, you can try it, but I won't guarantee you it'll be succesful ;) | 20:53 |
| flixh | void^, I am very interested in your results. Unfortunately I only have a system that has been dist-upgraded since hoary, so no clean install... | 20:53 |
| MrPink | hey, I just baught a new monitor (a philips 190x 19" TFT Display) and most everything worked out of the box, but when I use the desktop Effects I get these weird vertical lines across the display... like when I drag & drop icons from one Desktop to another etc... anyone any ideas... could it have anything to do with vert & horizontal refresh rate or something ? | 20:53 |
| dgjones | !cloning | Comrade-Sergei | 20:53 |
| ubotu | Comrade-Sergei: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 20:53 |
| dahitokiri | blizzkid: thanks for the vote of confidence :P | 20:53 |
| flixh | void^, no clean install to test with | 20:53 |
| dgjones | !backup | Comrade-Sergei | 20:53 |
| ubotu | Comrade-Sergei: There are many ways to back your system up.

| dahitokiri | you guys should send those as PMs.... | 20:54 |
| blizzkid | np dahitokiri ;) | 20:54 |
| PurpZeY | MrPink: Sounds like a refresh rate issue to me...I'd ask in #compiz-fusion | 20:54 |
| Comrade-Sergei | dgjones, i was looking for a gui, if i dint want a gui id just use dd | 20:54 |
| MrPink | PurpZeY: do you know where and how to check what refresh rate is set and fix it ? | 20:54 |
| quantumsummers | sjovan: Are you getting my PM? | 20:54 |
| Robotchicken1886 | do you think someone could help me | 20:55 |
| Zombie | Does anyone here use L2TP and IPSec on Ubuntu? | 20:55 |
| PurpZeY | MrPink: What distro b/c I think that's a xorg thing and I am still in feisty and I believe gutsy has a way of changing those things easier | 20:55 |
| dgjones | Comrade-Sergei, there's possibly something in the ubotu's backup links | 20:55 |
| riotkittie | Robotchicken1886: ask your question and find out | 20:55 |
| Robotchicken1886 | i am having trouble downloading torrents with bittorrent | 20:55 |
| RvGaTe | is there a plugin that allows me to right mouse click a folder, and say: "mount on..." and specify a folder to mount it on? i find there is no easy way to do this other then the terminal... wich i hate to open each time i want some app to quickly access some network files.. (and not all apps support smb:// ftp:// etc... only local) | 20:55 |
| Robotchicken1886 | it keeps saying problem connecting to tracker urlopen error (113, 'No route to host') | 20:56 |
| n2diy | fyrestrtr: ok, I killed firefox-bin, and restarted firefox, which went looking for extension updates. Then it brought up the Ubuntu welcome page, but I can't surf to any websites. Its acting like the DNS is broken? | 20:56 |
| PurpZeY | Robotchicken1886: Bittorrent is really a poor program, I'd suggest azureus or utorrent using wine | 20:56 |
| kritzstapf | hi, the moodbar in amarok is not working for mp3-files, how do i fix this? | 20:56 |
| XiXaQ | how can I see which processes are using the harddisk most? | 20:56 |
| Robotchicken1886 | hmmmm maybe i will try that | 20:56 |
| nickrud | RvGaTe: not quite that, but have you checked out places -> connect to server ? | 20:56 |
| MrPink | PurpZeY: I am using gutsy | 20:56 |
| codename | need help installing a OSX theme | 20:56 |
| HyperDevil | is it possible to install Ubuntu without any absolete packages, like debian etch? only base system? | 20:56 |
| riaal_ | in a script that involves ping (running in quiet mode), ping still echo's "ping: unknown host", how can I get ridd of this? | 20:56 |
| PurpZeY | Robotchicken1886: Also, sounds like you might need to open some ports or open NAT filtering on your router | 20:57 |
| blizzkid | HyperDevil, yes, using the alternate cd it is | 20:57 |
| RvGaTe | nickrud, yes, but then i have _no idea_ where it is mounted on the filesystem... | 20:57 |
| bulmer | riaal_-> redirect stderr to /dev/null | 20:57 |
| Robotchicken1886 | how would i do that | 20:57 |
| HyperDevil | blizzkid: ok is that the server version or something? | 20:57 |
| Robotchicken1886 | sorry im a noob | 20:57 |
| nickrud | RvGaTe: yeah, an issue. You are limited to apps that use gnome-vfs to access files ... | 20:57 |
| pike_ | riaal_: 2>&1 | 20:57 |
| blizzkid | HyperDevil, no, it's the desktop version, but the alternate cd | 20:57 |
| riaal_ | bulmer, sounds smart, you have a syntax? | 20:57 |
| PurpZeY | MrPink: Well, I am not familiar with gutsy in anyway, but I know that the refresh rate/resolution stuff is in xorg and that gutsy has a built in tool to manipulate xorg...or I thought | 20:57 |
| bulmer | riaal_-> wait thats not an error | 20:57 |
| HyperDevil | ok thanks | 20:57 |
| Comrade-Sergei | dgjones, ok just tell me, does dd copy the entire disk or just one partition , i want it to transfer all my data including the swap to my other HDD | 20:58 |
| sjovan | ineedhelp: so how did it go? | 20:58 |
| void^ | flixh: not a single call to hdparm. this is an upgraded system too, though. feisty-beta i think. | 20:58 |
| blizzkid | HyperDevil, obviously you can also use the server cd | 20:58 |
| PurpZeY | Robotchicken1886: Those are settings you need to change via your router...nothing to do with ubuntu | 20:58 |
| Robotchicken1886 | hmmmmm | 20:58 |
| RvGaTe | nickrud, if you look close to the connect to server thingy, all it does is add a link to smb:// etc in the file browser bookmarks... | 20:58 |
| riaal_ | bulmer, its "exit code" 2 witch works but it echos "unknown..." | 20:58 |
| riaal_ | pike_, what does that mean? | 20:58 |
| quantumsummers | Anyone, need a bit of NetworkManager assistance here | 20:59 |
| MrPink | Anyone know how to manipulate xorg in gutsy to change the refresh rate? | 20:59 |
| IneedHelp | sjovan: its working now... I just hope I can get my Drivers to work for my ATI Radeon 1600 :) | 20:59 |
| IneedHelp | Thanks | 20:59 |
| [Thom] | Where can I find a large example of a SMTP server log? An open relay isn't a great option, but would work in a pinch I suppose. | 20:59 |
| nickrud | RvGaTe: a bit more than that, but effectively you have to use apps that are gnome aware, like gedit, a few others. | 20:59 |
| flixh | void^, interesting. There might still of course be cases where this differs. | 20:59 |
| jmesquita | Guys, how do I bind ALT+TAB to a different plugin on Gutsy? | 20:59 |
| jmesquita | I click to change on the CCSM and nothing happens | 20:59 |
| sjovan | ineedhelp: that's good :) | 20:59 |
| daxroc | Hi all , any one using a bt headset w mic on gutsy ? | 21:00 |
| quantumsummers | sjovan: are you getting my PMs? | 21:00 |
| Robotchicken1886 | im going to try installing wine and see how that works | 21:00 |
| bulmer | riaal_-> redirect stderr to /dev/null is 2>&1 | 21:00 |
| Robotchicken1886 | (plus i need practice with it) | 21:00 |
| riaal_ | bulmer, whats what? $1 is ? 2 is? | 21:00 |
| dgjones | Comrade-Sergei, i've only used dd once or twice & not for 6 months, I can't be certain, from memory, it depends what you tell it to copy from, but could well just be a single partition rather than whole drive | 21:00 |
| RvGaTe | nickrud, know any good editors, im looking for something like Bluefish...? (bluefish supports only local) | 21:00 |
| Comrade-Sergei | dgjones, w/e ill just do it twice the drives are identical | 21:01 |
| blizzkid | RvGaTe, bluefish supports remote to | 21:01 |
| blizzkid | too | 21:01 |
| bulmer | riaal_-> my mistake, stdout is 1 not stderr is 2 | 21:01 |
| === riaal_ is now known as riaal | ||
| IneedHelp | sjovan: Iam so excited :) LOL I been kinda drinking... and cant wait to run something other then windows!!!! | 21:01 |
| daxroc | eclipse All In One! | 21:01 |
| RvGaTe | blizzkid, nope, not really, when i try to open a file, after using the "connect to server", the editor stays empty | 21:01 |
| bulmer | riaal-> i cant type...stdout is 1 and stderr is 2 | 21:01 |
| sjovan | quantumsu: nope, if you look in your status it's telling you how yo activate pm | 21:02 |

| sjovan | IneedHelp: well if you are drinking... why are you playing with your computer? you should be out getting some chicks... | 21:02 |

| blizzkid | RvGaTe, sorry, I meant open URL | 21:03 |

| flixh | void^, ok, so it's not the case for every system and might only occur in some corner cases. For me personally it's pretty anoying and can unfortunately not be solved with hdparm -B or -S :-( | 21:10 |

| quantumsummers | ok | 21:11 |
| mark_1982 | how do you enable the seamless mode in virtual box? | 21:11 |
| sjovan | quantumsu: i gave you a faq link | 21:12 |
| blizzkid | nyankochan, you can upgrade from an iso, but it's rather complex | 21:12 |
| n2diy | Cyber_Stalker, that verifies my browser is working. | 21:12 |
| nyankochan | yeah i'd rather stay away from isos or CDs | 21:12 |
| blizzkid | mark_, google for ubuntu seamless virtualization | 21:12 |
| n2diy | minimec: /etc/resolv.conf looks fine. | 21:12 |
| nyankochan | it just keeps getting stuck on the one file | 21:12 |
| Cyber_Stalker | n2diy: your router is your modem tho? | 21:12 |
| keegangrayson | anyone have any experience with webcams on ubuntu? | 21:13 |
| blizzkid | nyankochan, you can do it from the iso without burning it to cd | 21:13 |
| nyankochan | yeah i know | 21:13 |
| nyankochan | but that seems like a pain | 21:13 |
| n2diy | Cyber_Stalker, no, the modem is hooked to the phone line. | 21:13 |
| flixh | void^: i think it's the fault of my Samsung drive, that does not care what hdparm tells it. So in some way it's a builtin "feature" yes. | 21:13 |
| Cyber_Stalker | ok, does your modem have a config page? | 21:13 |
| n2diy | Cyber_Stalker, no. | 21:13 |
| sjovan | nyankocha: so why does it stop? maby you got some issues with /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:13 |
| nyankochan | oh well, didn't know if there was some way i could do it by the terminal | 21:13 |
| nyankochan | i don't know why it stops. how can i find that out? | 21:14 |
| Cyber_Stalker | n2diy: well its a dns issue because ive had that a load of times | 21:14 |
| mark_1982 | how do you enable the seamless mode in virtual box? | 21:14 |
| Cyber_Stalker | just not sure what the defualt dns is with a modem | 21:14 |
| sjovan | nyankocha: have you tryed to ping the server it stops at? | 21:14 |
| minimec | n2diy: Did you try to access a homepage with it's ip-adress? | 21:14 |
| blizzkid | nyankochan, sudo apt-get update and see if all load | 21:14 |
| flixh | void^: at the same time the disc is specified for 600000 cycles and I'm at almost 400000 already, counting rapidly. So if it's builtin in, then it's pretty stupid. | 21:14 |
| void^ | flixh: and that's why i think the noise about this issue is a bigger problem for hdd manufacturers than ubuntu :] | 21:14 |
| blizzkid | mark_, google for ubuntu seamless virtualization | 21:14 |
| n2diy | Cyber_Stalker, roger on that. | 21:14 |
| void^ | +for | 21:14 |
| mark_1982 | its gray so i cant use it in the menu... there a way to make it so i can use it ? | 21:14 |
| nyankochan | cannot connect to seveas.imbrandom.com it seems | 21:15 |

| flixh | void^, it probably should be. But probably it's more sales for them and bad publicity for Ubuntu, as people do not necessarly care about the complex background. | 21:16 |
| Dekkharyn | I reversed the changes I made to make something work in compiz, so I dunno why it's doing it | 21:16 |

| Turgon | Hello. I had the problem which is heavily being discussed at bug #59695 with my notebook's hard disk, even though "laptop-mode" was disabled; so it is probably a HD's firmware or BIOS issue. I already got an easy workaround: "sudo hdparm -B 192 /dev/sda", but I'd like to know if it would be of any help if I post in the bug's thread or some other place my BIOS version an hard disk model (I have not done it yet because of all the posts being made. I am | 21:22 |
| Turgon | not sure if another one would help or just add to the confusion). Thanks for all your altruist work. | 21:22 |
| blizzkid | Bahal, cedega is paid software | 21:22 |

| Psi-Jack | Jowi: Heh, yeah. It's sad really. Metacity used to have more, now it's practically bare minimums that you can't even configure anymore. | 21:37 |
| burwaco | with a brandnew Gibbon !!! | 21:37 |
| anonymous_ | purpzey: I don't think so but let me try | 21:37 |

| PurpZeY | Machii: Unless there is something going on that I am not understanding | 21:37 |
| MarcC | agroker: well, my total is 29,000 but right to the left of the result it says "193" for some reason | 21:37 |
| dgjones | minus, go to a teminal & cd into the directory and type "touch file" if that works the permissions have changed, its just X that needs to restart | 21:37 |

| Machii | PurpZeY: Hmm, ok. Can you give me the correct download-link? :) | 21:38 |
| Jowi | Psi-Jack, not sure if Sawfish might handle it (metacity was based on it once upon a time). was some time ago i tried it. it is not a "modern" WM though | 21:38 |

| blizzkid | Machii, you triple checked it's an empty cd? | 21:38 |
| hagabaka | wow, finally aiglx support in flgrx | 21:38 |
| Machii | blizzkid: Yep | 21:38 |
| minus | dgjones, nope.. still cant make folder in that disk.. | 21:38 |
| PurpZeY | Machii: Yeah, I'm with blizzkid here...there is something very fundamental not working.... | 21:38 |
| Psi-Jack | Jowi: Bleh. I never liked Sawfish either. Course, I don't like LISP, either, hence part of my dislike for Sawfish. LOL | 21:38 |
| hagabaka | will flgrx 8.42 be packaged gutsy updates? | 21:38 |

| thorm | can anyone help me? my ubuntu won't "mount" my two sata drives !? | 21:39 |
| minus | thorm, what error? | 21:39 |
| kantor | hi, somebody knows a Linux video card benchmark/ speed test program ? | 21:39 |
| blizzkid | you have an empty dvd at hand Machii (and a dvd burner)? | 21:39 |
| dgjones | minus, there goes my idea then, sounded exactly the problem i had till i realised X needed restarting, but yours must be different | 21:39 |
| minus | dgjones, I guess | 21:39 |
| Machii | blizzkid: Nope :/ | 21:39 |
| kl4m | blizzkid: ah with rdesktop. But still it's more setup than pressing VM key+L. I used vmware workstation and server for a while but I switched to virtualbox in a day | 21:39 |
| PurpZeY | kantor: Have you tried search the repos? | 21:39 |
| Psi-Jack | Jowi: Basically... I just want to be able to resize a window decently, easily, to the maximum height allowed by the desktop regions, with the bars still visible. ;) | 21:39 |
| Jowi | Psi-Jack, funny, I think I've tried every WM out there but that feature I haven't even considered to look for and haven't missed. *until you mentioned it* lol | 21:39 |
| thorm | minus -> something about $logfile | 21:40 |
| kantor | PurpZeY, but I don't know the name of that program | 21:40 |
| blizzkid | kl4m, np, just wanted to rectify ;) | 21:40 |
| agroker | kantor, glxgears? | 21:40 |
| thorm | it says i should go into windows but i have formatted my drive | 21:40 |
| blizzkid | Machii, it must be something very basic | 21:40 |
| thorm | and it also says i might wanna try "forcing it" but i have no idea hoW! | 21:40 |
| kantor | thanks | 21:40 |
| PurpZeY | kantor: If you search in synaptic it should search descriptions so, benchmark, ought to do | 21:40 |

| thorm | .... where blizzkid ? | 21:42 |
| Machii | PurpZeY & blizzkid : Probably. I'll read some tutorials and try to figure it out :) Thanks for the help though ^^ | 21:42 |

| KillahB | when installing gutsy, the system hangs right after loading desktop icons. can anyone help? | 21:42 |
| blizzkid | thorm, open a terminal | 21:43 |
| Psi-Jack | Jowi: Heh.. I was just trying out XFCE 4.. And, besides Thunar (which lacks the ssh:URI connectivity, was nice. Fast, simple and not quite perfect, but dang close. | 21:43 |
| thorm | ok | 21:43 |
| ppcguy | KillahB, did you drop into another session, log in and see what is causing the hang? | 21:43 |
| blizzkid | thorm, in the terminal type sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs | 21:43 |
| KillahB | its a hard lock, i have to reboot... cant switch to terminal | 21:43 |
| thorm | ok | 21:43 |
| thorm | trying that | 21:43 |
| Biju | is mythTv harder to configure with other applicatins like TvTime? | 21:43 |
| Jowi | Psi-Jack, I agree. Thunar is the only filemanager I use nowadays. and the bulk-rename is quite good. | 21:43 |
| pike_ | Jowi: locale then locale -a then export LC_ALL="EN_US.UTF-8" or whatever but that will set it only for the current session | 21:43 |
| minus | What are the "lost+found" dirs for? | 21:44 |
| ppcguy | hmm. are you running a funky video chipset? | 21:44 |
| Psi-Jack | Jowi: I prefer Nautilus myself, cause, well, I /use/ those network vfs's. ;) | 21:44 |
| ManuP | aptitude cant connect to the servers (to download *.deb) it can for updating. with apt-get install i can also install packages, but not with aptittude. why and what can i do to install via aptitude? | 21:44 |
| blizzkid | thorm, once it's installed, type sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXX (replace XX with eg b1, or whatever the disk is called in your system) | 21:44 |
| Jowi | pike_, yeah, I can export it but I'm looking for a more permanent solution. thanks though. | 21:44 |

| dimitri3113 | oki thanks erUSUL I am going to try right now !!!!!!!! | 21:52 |

| DevDuck | I'm having trouble getting an rt2500 wireless card to connect in Gutsy | 22:12 |

| samuraiche | people i'm having a problem with kernel compilation when compiling kernel gets too big almost 2 GB does anyone has the same prob? | 22:12 |
| CyberWolf | hi foks whats up | 22:13 |
| DevDuck | I;ve compiled the rt2x00 driver from serialmonkey but that one won't recognize the card | 22:13 |
| DevDuck | I'm not using wpa so I shouldn't need to do anything according to all of the docs | 22:14 |
| spasticteapot | Does anyone else use Gutsy on an X61/T61? I can no longer adjust my screen brightness using the hotkeys (fn+ home or fn+ end.) The hotkey for turning on the keyboard light (fn+PageUp) works, though, so I know the function keys are okay. I know this has been posted as a bug; does anyone know the fix? | 22:14 |
| reverseblade | I am using envy. Is there any guide for installing 100.14.09 specifically ? It is the only stable driver for me | 22:14 |
| gene | can somebody kick me (gene6482) out of the channel, i forgot to sign off from where i was | 22:14 |
| samuraiche | does anyone know why kernel gets more than 2GB during compilation? | 22:14 |
| blup | hello | 22:15 |
| ppcguy | samuraiche; I would look at one of the alternative cd images | 22:15 |
| riaal | when using awk {print $1,$2} etc. the $1 and $2 is word one and two separated by a space, can I somehow use this with : as separator? | 22:15 |
| p0d | suggestions anyone: no cdrom in /dev? | 22:15 |
| ppcguy | maybe even fluxbuntu | 22:15 |

| DevDuck | walter_eco: I'm on 2.6.22-14 | 22:19 |
| blizzkid | mejo, add vga=0 to your menu.lst | 22:20 |
| walter_eco | hmm | 22:20 |
| mejo | is this a known issue, that the bootsplash has problems on hp compaq notebooks? | 22:20 |
| DevDuck | this is hp has never had a working bootsplash | 22:20 |
| blup | devDuck: it's the site, not local stored. I can see the network activity | 22:20 |
| DevDuck | except on live cds... | 22:20 |
| walter_eco | is there a way to patch from 5.06 to 7.10 | 22:20 |
| blizzkid | mejo, not only on hp | 22:20 |
| DevDuck | walter_eco: incrementally | 22:20 |
| mejo | DevDuck: how can i fix it? | 22:20 |
| mejo | ah, blizzkid: thanks i'll give it a try. | 22:21 |
| DevDuck | mejo: I haven't yet | 22:21 |
| ASTX813 | This should be simple, but I just installed Lightning 0.7 and now the preview calendar is showing up in an annoying third column instead of at the bottom of the mail folders column, and I can't find any way to send it back. | 22:21 |
| walter_eco | is it under upgrade? | 22:21 |
| DevDuck | mejo: having bigger problems | 22:21 |
| blizzkid | mejo, add it at the end of the line that starts with kernel | 22:21 |

| walter_eco | or 6.10 | 22:22 |
| walter_eco | yeah synaptic | 22:22 |
| walter_eco | does 7.10 even work has anyone had a chance to try | 22:22 |
| DevDuck | anyone have any ideas why this wireless nic doesn't work? | 22:22 |
| pike_ | walter_eco: usually its easier to just backup /home and any other data then reinstall or resize the partition and install 7.10 to the freespace | 22:22 |
| burwaco | ok, poll, after a fresh install... gnash sfwplayer or adobe flash player ? | 22:22 |

| ActySofts | can anyone tell me how I can reinstall grub? | 22:28 |
| ASTX813 | OK, I tried removing & reinstalling Thunderbird and now I can't even create a normal local calendar. I think this might have something to do with the fact that Synaptic initially installed Lightning 0.5 system-wide and I removed that so I could install 0.7. | 22:28 |

| blizzkid | mejo, no, I didn't have that issue | 22:36 |
| PirateHead | esjay: I've been using Linux for years and I've never connected to a NAS drive. If I wanted to find out how, I would start by googling it. | 22:36 |
| esjay | i browse my network and ti's there | 22:37 |
| hoarycripple | mjbunink, meaning that there is no .thunderbird settings directory or something similar hanging around? | 22:37 |

| erUSUL | !samba | esjay | 22:38 |
| ubotu | esjay: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 22:38 |
| esjay | i'm not using a domain either | 22:38 |

| ratman | unfortunately i do not use that kind of shares and i can't help you on that | 22:38 |

| anssi_ | tuxedo, if you like change screen resolution with Preferences, will it keep your manual edits in xorg.conf? I remember I never understood the Debian way to control the X configuration file with dpkg-reconfigure... | 22:38 |
| PirateHead | emmajane: done. I know to do that. | 22:38 |
| ratman | but it should be pretty straight forward, ubuntu is prepared to do it easily, but i just haven't used | 22:38 |

| esjay | i'm just not sure my NAS is considered a windows share...i'll get out the manual though | 22:39 |
| PirateHead | emmajane: It's not that there's a column that just has no bars in it; there is no column, period. | 22:39 |
| FireHazard17 | i am recompiling my kernel should i enable smp i have a dual core processor but i can not figure out if smp only refers to 2 separate cpu or if dual core processors would benefit from this too | 22:39 |
| emmajane | piratehead: can you arrow up to incrase the volume for master? | 22:39 |
| emmajane | piratehead: and what is the "chip" listed at the top? | 22:39 |
| PirateHead | emmajane: the next one over, PCM, has red bars | 22:39 |
| ratman | it should be if windows is capable of working with it just out of the box. | 22:39 |
| esjay | k thanks...brb trying this | 22:40 |
| ATITROUBLE | Man... screw linux... I cant get anything to work on it I am gonna go back to win xp :( :( | 22:40 |

| spasticteapot | sticteapot> Does anyone else use Gutsy on an X61/T61? I can no longer adjust my screen brightness using the hotkeys (fn+ home or fn+ end.) The hotkey for turning on the keyboard light (fn+PageUp) works, though, so I know the function keys are okay. I know this has been posted as a bug; does anyone know the fix? | 22:41 |
| Sylvarant | @<Bahal> hello to you | 22:41 |
| episodic | hey guys can someone please help go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/episodic/1810803796/ this is a screen shot. I had a creative zen stone mp3 player that worked just fine under gutsy. I was trying to change the mount so that it mounted the MUSIC subfolder instead of the root of the folder so, I right clicked on the MP3 player's icon - then I went to settings and mount point and added the 'music' folder to the mount point hoping | 22:41 |
| episodic | it would mount to that folder - my thinking was wrong and now it complains and won't mount at all - can someone tell me where to edit out what I typed in? I tried /etc/fstab it is not there | 22:41 |
| PirateHead | codename: at least, I thought so. I seem to be wrong. | 22:41 |
| emmajane | piratehead: are you using the 2.6.22 kernel? $ uname -a | 22:41 |
| hoarycripple | mjbunink, backup the dir first of course :) | 22:41 |
| codename | ya i cant get it to my desktop | 22:41 |

| codename | lol | 22:41 |

| comicinker | Sylvarant: I'm running ubuntu. I would like to install a theme for kde apps, because I'm using one or two kde apps | 22:41 |
| PirateHead | emmajane: yes, 2.6.22 | 22:41 |

| astro76 | Bahal, wincvs? | 22:43 |
| Sylvarant | <comicinker>:I'm afraid that isn't going to work you can do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to have the kubuntu desktop and there you can config kde appearence but not in gnome | 22:43 |
| PirateHead | codename: You can create a launcher on the desktop that runs this command: nautilus "trash:" | 22:43 |

| Psi-Jack | Is there a way to make a 2-row Gnome Panel instead of having 2 seperate panels stacked atop each other? | 22:44 |
| emmajane | piratehead: one of these days they'll get it right. ;) | 22:44 |
| PirateHead | emmajane: It worked in Dapper and then broke in Edgy, then they fixed it in Edgy but it broke in Feisty, then they fixed it but now it's broken in Gutsy. | 22:44 |
| astro76 | Bahal, you might try #winehq | 22:45 |
| Bahal | thnx | 22:45 |
| PirateHead | emmajane: The kernel team should just stop fuxing with the sound drivers. :-) | 22:45 |
| emmajane | piratehead: time to donate a duplicate of your laptop to the kernel developers. ;) | 22:45 |
| Sylvarant | @<Psi-Jack> you can increase the hight in panel preferences | 22:45 |
| episodic | hey guys can someone please help go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/episodic/1810803796/ this is a screen shot.

| PirateHead | emmajane: I'm running on the cheapest piece of crap I could buy at the time, so it would actually not be too difficult! The problem is that the kernel developers, who have dual-core ThinkPads with a gig of RAM, would cringe to boot into it. | 22:46 |
| emmajane | hhehehe | 22:46 |
| astro76 | episodic, hmm if it's still the same, in feisty you had to go in gconf and manually delete what you set | 22:46 |
| Psi-Jack | Sylvarant: Yes, Yes, you can, but then it places things in the center of it, still, vertically. And doesn't allow you to put things underneath another. | 22:46 |
| episodic | gconf | 22:46 |
| episodic | I'm not sure what that is | 22:46 |
| dissection | I can't get my cd/dvd drive to work. In fstab, it points to a non existent device. How do I find the correct one? | 22:47 |
| PirateHead | emmajane: is it possible to download the old kernel and use it? | 22:47 |
| astro76 | episodic, run gconf-editor | 22:47 |
| episodic | ok | 22:47 |
| PirateHead | emmajane: or do I have to do a fresh Feisty install? | 22:47 |
| ASTX813 | Is anyone here using Thunderbird with Lightning? | 22:47 |
| astro76 | episodic, then browse around, there should be something under storage devices with the mount point you set | 22:47 |
| Psi-Jack | ASTX813: I tried it. It sucked. | 22:47 |
| emmajane | piratehead: I wouldn't try it with ubuntu... | 22:48 |
| Gmac | Quick question, ive just quited from the game Lgenerals and my desktop is slightly lower resolution and I can scroll around it? | 22:48 |
| PirateHead | emmajane: I should just switch to Slackware then, or what? | 22:48 |
| ASTX813 | Psi-Jack do you know a better calendar app that syncs with google calendar? I'm trying to have a global calendar from home, work, and eventually cell. | 22:48 |
| bruenig | Gmac, not a question | 22:48 |
| emmajane | piratehead: HA! | 22:48 |
| emmajane | piratehead: did you try the model fix that was suggested on the page I gave you? | 22:48 |
| Gmac | :) how can I reset it to its original res? | 22:49 |
| Sylvarant | @<Psi-Jack>: I no you can pretty easily do it in kde but i have no idea of how to do it gnome | 22:49 |
| Pelo | Gmac, check in sysgtem > prefs >`screen res , see if you can set it back | 22:49 |
| Gmac | its already set to the correct res, but has not taken effect | 22:49 |
| Gmac | im sure if I rebooted it would be fine, but is their something to froce it? | 22:50 |
| Pelo | Gmac, the only other thing I can suggest it to restart X , crtl alt backspace | 22:50 |
| ASTX813 | Pelo - looks like he tried that | 22:50 |
| ratman | yeah, he tried | 22:51 |
| * Pelo should have mentionned it would kill all his aps | 22:51 | |
| Gmac | that worked | 22:51 |
| episodic | ok guys, I went to gconf | 22:51 |
| Gmac | thanks | 22:51 |
| episodic | I found it | 22:51 |
| [Neurotic] | anyone got any ideas on when the bug where open office will crash under certain themes will be fixed? Or am I stuck just removing openoffice-gtk ? | 22:51 |
| Gmac | yep, :) closed everything but could have been worst! | 22:51 |
| dissection | I can't get my cd/dvd drive to work. In fstab, it points to a non existent device. How do I find the correct one? | 22:51 |

| episodic | sheesh, I wish I had just left it alone crud | 22:51 |
| havoque | is there some boot parameter that forces the gutsy install process to use the old ide drivers rather than the new libata subsystem which treats hda as sda and thus limiting the number of allowed partitions to 15, i have 20 partitions as i am a multidistro user/tester and can't install gutsy at the moment, my hdd is pata, not scsi | 22:52 |
| episodic | any ideas for me now? | 22:52 |
| PirateHead | Gotta go - thanks emmajane. | 22:52 |
| anssi__ | Where I set battery low alarms? My Dell laptop just abruptly switched off with no warning from Gutsy! | 22:52 |
| emmajane | piratehead: sorry I couldn't be of more use. | 22:52 |
| Pelo | dissection, put cd or dvd in the drive , then in my computer, right click and check the devices in the properties | 22:52 |
| emmajane | piratehead: g'luck with it. | 22:52 |

| Psi-Jack | ASTX813: I use a Firefox plugin that works with it. Google's GData access API is very nice, that you, with programming skills, could even make a better tool for the gnome-panel's itself, directly, if you truely tried. ;) | 22:57 |

| walter_eco | why does it say s | 22:58 |
| walter_eco | -ChanServ- You do not have channel operator access to [#ubuntu-ak] | 22:58 |

| hagabaka | did you use the buildpackage thing in the installer? | 22:59 |

| tphyahoo-ubuntu | can anyone suggest to me what to do? | 23:02 |
| havoque | if you're running compiz than you should have direct rendering | 23:02 |
| FluxD | h4rd-1: I am not sure really, because not all bios allowes booting USB stuff | 23:02 |
| Pici | Blokk: The generic kernel will load whater your cpu supports on demand, like powernowd and similar. | 23:02 |
| h4rd-1 | FluxD : btw i fix the internet but i get problem with the installation of ubuntu | 23:02 |

| MilitantPotato | havoque: Direct rendering is disabled with compiz and ATI | 23:03 |
| dissection | Jupp2: Yes, the drive is working. Works in Windows, and the Ubuntu Live CD works | 23:03 |
| Blokk | Pici: Hmm, but I get no access to the functions, waht could be wrong? | 23:04 |
| MilitantPotato | Drew777: update your keys? | 23:04 |
| P_Kable | so nobody really knows how to do this ? | 23:04 |
| havoque | it's disabled with fglrx, not with ati open source driver | 23:04 |
| MilitantPotato | havoque: true. | 23:04 |
| Drew777 | MilitantPotato, ok, how do I do that? | 23:04 |
| h4rd-1 | FluxD : i get error input/output when it's installing ubuntu | 23:04 |

| Lunarbunny | quick question - anybody know how to keep X/Gnome from restarting after ctrl+alt+bksp? | 23:08 |
| drifterz | fudging linux makes me mad sometimes, but I still love it | 23:08 |
| MilitantPotato | Drew | 23:08 |
| Gatestone | Odd-rationale: default is "shutdown", not uncontrolled hardware power off. | 23:08 |
| MilitantPotato | sudo go to Admin>sources | 23:09 |
| riotkittie | Biju: you can install windows, you'll just need a live disc on hand to recover GRUB as win will overwrite it. i'm not sure your card would work in a vm | 23:09 |
| Blokk | Pici: No, I don't know | 23:09 |
| MilitantPotato | Drew777: click the Authentication tab, remove everything | 23:09 |
| Lunarbunny | anybody? | 23:09 |
| close2__ | I would need somebody to verify, that there's really a bug in the 7z version of ubuntu, before filing a report | 23:09 |
| MilitantPotato | Drew777: close the sessions options, then in terminal run sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-keyring | 23:09 |
| Gatestone | And shouldn't there be some kind of message/warning about critical battery? How do I configure that? Not in Pref/Power! | 23:09 |
| Jupp2 | dissection: try fdisk -l /dev/hda to see what it says | 23:09 |
| MadDucky | Gatestone, did it overheat? Dells are notorious for that | 23:09 |
| Odd-rationale | Gatestone: Oh, I see what you mean. | 23:09 |

| Milkinator | is there a channel for audio? | 23:10 |
| Jupp2 | dissection: make sure a cd is in the drive | 23:10 |
| MilitantPotato | Milkinator: #alsa | 23:10 |
| Milkinator | thanks MilitantPotato | 23:10 |
| riotkittie | Lunarbunny: given that that's the way to restart X, no. :P you can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop tho | 23:10 |
| Gatestone | I never had any overheating problems before, with Windows on the same machine. | 23:10 |

| riotkittie | HigH5: do you have a router or something? ports that might need to be forwarded? | 23:12 |
| MadDucky | Gatestone, it's not a software thig, it's a motherboard and CPU thing and it can get worse as a laptop ages --but maybe it wasGutsy PowerNowD *is* buggy in gutsy | 23:12 |

| lammy_ | <sandgrai2>: but the backport-repos couldn*t be found ... | 23:29 |

| astro76 | Gatestone, yes install kubuntu-desktop, I'm not sure if that enables kdm or keeps gdm, but you can use either one | 23:29 |
| blizzkid | Gatestone, sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 23:29 |
| fluffman | i follow directions that said to enable some extra kernal modules in /etc/modules | 23:29 |
| fluffman | would that do it/ | 23:29 |
| biggahed | MilitantPotato, i dont know. Will he? | 23:30 |
| biggahed | SeanTater, revx> got disoriented with this package type tar.bz2 tar.gz | 23:30 |
| biggahed | SeanTater, i just skipped the other, but youre correct | 23:30 |
| preaction | fluffman, not "what are you doing", "what did you do?". the most common reason for segfault is the libraries on your system are incompatible with the executables | 23:30 |
| kaefert | tifine - how to find out? i couldnt find the audio card in the hardware list | 23:30 |
| MilitantPotato | biggahed: yes | 23:30 |
| SeanTater | biggahed: np, just here to help | 23:30 |
| tifine | <kaefert>: did u installed the window complete ? | 23:30 |

| MilitantPotato | daniele, what language? | 23:31 |
| tifine | <kaefert>: if yes then did u try to run any mp file ? | 23:31 |
| preaction | fluffman, not unless those kernel modules are buggy. old laptops are not good candidates for linux installations usually, full of proprietary hardware | 23:31 |

| MilitantPotato | #ubuntu-it | 23:31 |
| SeanTater | ToddEDM: if you ping it , the ping command will tell you.. | 23:31 |
| fluffman | preaction: shoot...I don't remember what all I've tried today | 23:31 |
| preaction | ToddEDM, less /etc/resolv.conf <- has the IPs of the DNS servers your system is currently using | 23:31 |
| tifine | <kaefert>: ubuntu | 23:31 |
| SeanTater | ToddEDM: Oh -- I misunderstood | 23:31 |
| blizzkid | Doug52392, man passwd | 23:31 |
| biggahed | MilitantPotato, I just read one screen. didnt see if he said anything about compiling. | 23:31 |
| ToddEDM | my nephew is trying to get online with dialup ... he needs to know his DNS server name | 23:31 |
| preaction | fluffman, then you might be in a "reinstall" position. if you don't remember what you did, you might not be able to undo it... | 23:31 |
| tifine | <kaefert>: window -> ubuntu ? | 23:31 |
| fluffman | preaction: i think it happened after uninstall a failed java install | 23:31 |
| SeanTater | ToddEDM: You can find it in /etc/resolv.conf | 23:32 |
| kaefert | yes i installed it completly | 23:32 |
| biggahed | revx, what you need is tar -xjvf to uncompress that package | 23:32 |

| tifine | <kaefert>: wat error messages do u get ? | 23:32 |
| SeanTater | ToddEDM: That's where it would be if it's already set up. In most cases you can use your router if you have one, and otherwise, DHCP should fill it in for you.. | 23:32 |
| P_Kable | MilitantPotato, what is this fusion-icon ?? | 23:32 |
| preaction | ToddEDM, it won't be a "name", it will be an IP address. you can't resolve a DNS "name" until you have a DNS server, so you need the DNS server's IP address | 23:32 |
| revx | already uncompress the package, whats next? cant see readme or install | 23:33 |
| SeanTater | ToddEDM: If nothing else, AOL.com or other website will tell you, as most ISP's have their own | 23:33 |
| MilitantPotato | P_Kable: an easy way to control compiz, see if you can uncheck Indirect Rendering. | 23:33 |
| fluffman | i guess i'll just reinstall and try again...this will make 3 or 4 of them on this laptop, lol | 23:33 |

| blizzkid | kimguru87, you mean using apt-get with cd-repo's? | 23:41 |

| arnducky | kimguru87, it's very simple. It backs up repos to CD/DVD disc or IS | 23:43 |
| amaia | SeanTater, ok that my problem too then... iostat doesnt give me a process list... just the numbers | 23:43 |
| tifine | <kaefert>: alrite now can u please try to run any audio file let see | 23:43 |
| zim | hi all just a quick Q is sourceforge.net broken or is it my pc | 23:44 |
| Jimdb | had two meltdowns today. after restarting i couldn't get any icons on my desktop and ubuntu was unresponsive. I ultimately had to delete the .compiz config files. then just now I had an issue where my windows started freezing up when I launched pidgin. I had to uninstall and reinstall it. | 23:44 |
| SeanTater | amaia: I thought there was a command for listing open files, but I can't seem to find it.. It should tell you which ones are related to which process, unfortunately, it also does not show throughput | 23:44 |
| jewbilee | zim: it loads on my computer | 23:44 |

| arnducky | SeanTater, lsof | 23:45 |
| amaia | lsof is good | 23:45 |
| kaefert | ähm in the upper right corner there is this audio icon, and it has this red cossed circle and if i try to turn the sound on it brings me the error message i wrote you | 23:45 |
| SeanTater | arnducky: thanks, you said that just as I found it | 23:45 |
| amaia | but does it measure the quantity of i/o by process? | 23:45 |
| SeanTater | nickrud: thanks too | 23:45 |
| SeanTater | amaia: that's what I was looking for | 23:45 |
| * nickrud feels all warm now :) | 23:45 | |
| ConstyXIV | can you lock windows to desktops? | 23:45 |
| SeanTater | amaia: I don;t know atm | 23:45 |
| arnducky | kimguru87, you have to add the CD/DVD or mounted .ISO file as a source for apt | 23:46 |
| zim | anyone in here in the uk and on bt bband | 23:46 |
| nickrud | ConstyXIV: you can use devilspie to do that | 23:46 |
| jewbilee | What language would you guys suggest for good program development? All i know is a little bit of java but I would like to try and learn more | 23:46 |
| zim | can you try http://www.sourceforge.net/ | 23:46 |
| Jimdb | is there a way to add a right click menu entry to mount .iso files (and unmount them)? | 23:46 |
| arnducky | either edit your sources.list or use a package manager to add it (hint Gnome has an applet called 'Sources') | 23:46 |
| * SeanTater could still use nickrud's help | 23:47 | |
| kimguru87 | <arnducky> and how can i do this? | 23:47 |
| nickrud | Jimdb: you can create a script that would do that | 23:47 |
| ConstyXIV | jewbilee: if youre sticking with java, use eclipse or netbeans | 23:47 |
| jewbilee | not IDEs, another language to try and learn | 23:47 |
| Jimdb | nickrud: know of any known scripts that I can just add to my script folder? | 23:47 |
| jewbilee | im looking for language suggestions | 23:47 |
| nickrud | SeanTater: I've looked for a throughput meter also, but no luck | 23:47 |
| SeanTater | nickrud: Do you know any way to pinpoint which processes are utilizing disks? | 23:47 |
| tifine | jewbilee: i think eclipse is more advance but i m interested more in netbeans | 23:47 |

| rafael__ | what can i do ? | 23:48 |
| tifine | jewbilee: I think Java is the best | 23:48 |
| zim | is anyone here in the uk on bt bband can you try http://www.sourceforge.net/ as i can connect to any other site just not http://www.sourceforge.net/ so im guessing it a DNS thing | 23:48 |
| ConstyXIV | jewbilee: yeah, it's pretty slick IMHO | 23:48 |

| arnducky | kimguru87, then you have to select packages individually and install. APTonCD does not support 'restore' scripts yet but they're working on it. One thing you can do with Synaptic though is save your package markings to a file and then open it to restore the system -- this should work well with an APTonCD repository | 23:50 |
| kishan | Gatestone, i think it will not work in linux but u can install other encryption methods which are compatable with linux | 23:50 |
