| scragar | Almar- when it's done you should be able to open the drive | 00:00 |
| LjL | JamesG, auto-updating is enabled by default. i don't know exactly how often it checks... but i think it checks quite often. | 00:00 |
| Almar- | scragar: thank you very much! | 00:00 |
| edu | hola | 00:00 |
| ramza3 | ff is horrible | 00:00 |
| eternalswd | JamesG, set a cron task? but installing updates requires sudo, and bypassing the passwd for installation is not very safe | 00:00 |
| otsifem | hola | 00:00 |
| Gatestone | I just installed compizfusion-settings-manager, but anything I do with it seems to have no effect. Default Gutsy effects work ok, but no rotating cube... | 00:01 |
| JamesG | LjL: If you're running the desktop version, perhaps.. I don't think this is true for server. | 00:01 |
| Wa1337 | Hן :) | 00:01 |
| JamesG | eternalswd: I was under the impression apt had a facility for this. | 00:01 |
| Wa1337 | Can some1 help me install my new ATI driver? (that was released..) | 00:01 |
| Gatestone | I looked at the support pages but that did not help. | 00:01 |
| junkbox | eternalswdyes, the java-6-sun seems to be set to default. | 00:01 |
| LjL | JamesG: indeed, it is not. however, do remember that some packages really *should* be installed interactively, for example when they modify config files in /etc, so it's not necessarily a good idea to make everything automated | 00:01 |
| Vlet | Whoa, I just realized that the ubuntu developers conference is happening across the street from my office :) | 00:02 |
| Gatestone | Where is a log of this channel? | 00:02 |
| LjL | JamesG: you can certainly set up (easily) a cronjob to *download* any updated packages during the night, but i think you should still remember to perform the actual upgrading manually | 00:02 |
| LjL | !logs > Gatestone (Gatestone, see the private message from Ubotu) | 00:02 |
| Lunks | Something weird is happening to an X session I'm trying to create: I can't seem to change its resolution! It behaves strange, as if the screen's smaller than the 'screen' it's trying to display. If I move the mouse to the edges, it scrolls the screen. | 00:02 |
| JamesG | LjL: Hm | 00:02 |
| jrib | JamesG: you may want to look at cron-apt | 00:03 |
| Almar- | scragar: i still seem to have a problem | 00:03 |
| darkfire | I was worried that my wifi adapter was not going to work with ubuntu | 00:03 |
| Almar- | scragar: should I force open? | 00:03 |
| z0ltan_nL | ok, so i have my server up and running, connects fine through the static ip i have assigned, but i can not for the life of me, get it to work as a dhcp server | 00:03 |
| Wa1337 | Can some1 help me install my new ATI driver? (that was released..), What should i delet before installing the new driver. like, XGL i have to disable as i know, what else? | 00:03 |
| igorgue | zd1211 does not compile :( | 00:03 |
| darkfire | But it seems to work just fine even with WPA | 00:03 |
| igorgue | and it sucks that is not included in binary package... just source :( | 00:03 |
| darkfire | Using a Netgear WG111v2 | 00:03 |

| Toddler | anyone know howto enable the cube agian after update of ubuntu | 00:04 |
| eternalswd | JamesG, looks like maybe aptitude has something http://www.ambienteto.arti.beniculturali.it/cgi-bin/dwww?type=file&location=/usr/share/doc/aptitude/README look for Aptitude::Auto-Upgrade | 00:04 |
| darkfire | Almar i had the same problem | 00:04 |
| LjL | Wa1337: installing hardware drivers that are not in the repositories manually is generally discourage and often leads to trouble. | 00:05 |
| darkfire | My drives would not mount | 00:05 |
| scragar | Almar-: realy? works when I did it(don't have windows anymore, but it worked when I did) | 00:05 |
| darkfire | Almar are the drives ntfs | 00:05 |
| Almar- | darkfire: yes. | 00:05 |
| darkfire | Did you use them in Windows | 00:05 |
| Almar- | yes | 00:05 |
| darkfire | ok | 00:05 |
| Almar- | it's an external hdd | 00:05 |
| darkfire | Do you have a pc with windows | 00:05 |
| Almar- | i have access to one | 00:05 |
| darkfire | ok | 00:05 |
| === hexstar is now known as JonGarber | ||
| Almar- | what should I do? | 00:06 |
| darkfire | Plug that external HD into the windows machine | 00:06 |
| z0ltan_nL | so i go through a few tutorials, check out my ubunut book, still nothing. so im running around in my dhcpd.config file trying to figure out why its telling me that im on multiple subnets | 00:06 |
| darkfire | Then click safely remove external hd | 00:06 |
| Lunks | LjL: I'm sorry, but I believe you misread my message. I'm trying to setup a new X session with different resolution, just X, not gnome/kde/whatever. My current X session's fine, it works the way it should. Problem is when starting a new session. I can't seem to change its resolution. | 00:06 |
| darkfire | Then it should mount in linux | 00:06 |
| Almar- | oh ok | 00:06 |
| Almar- | thanks i'll try | 00:06 |
| Lunks | LjL: I actually don't know what command should I use. I've tried xrandr, but for some reason it's not working. =\ | 00:06 |

| ninnghizidha | Hello. Looking for a tool, that tells me the megabyte used by each folder. | 00:08 |
| strommi | hey all, i have a question. I want to set my system to en_US.8859-1 instead of the default en_US.UTF-8. I used to do this in Fedora by editing /etc/sysconfig/i18n. How can I change the character encoding in Ubuntu? | 00:09 |

| ninnghizidha | thanks a lot! :) | 00:09 |
| Caram_Home | Gatestone | 00:09 |
| Caram_Home | are you using mIRC? | 00:09 |
| fyrestrtr | strommi: you really don't want to do that. | 00:09 |
| bieb | OT - Anyone know of a good place online where I can create an account and dump some files? | 00:09 |
| Gatestone | Caram_Home: ? | 00:10 |
| ninnghizidha | exactly what i was looking for, fyrestrtr! thanks a million! | 00:10 |

| Almar- | darkfire, scragar: thanks a lot | 00:10 |
| Almar- | this worked | 00:10 |
| Gatestone | Caram_Home: Is there mIRC for Linux? | 00:10 |
| LjL | Lunks, well it's not necessarily present in your xorg.conf. anyway, i'm not sure xrandr is the correct tool. perhaps you should rather specify a "-screen" option to Xorg, after creating an appropriate entry in xorg.conf | 00:11 |
| darkfire | Glad to be of service Almar | 00:11 |
| strommi | fyrestrt: why not? | 00:11 |
| eternalswd | Gatestone, not unless you run wine | 00:11 |
| darkfire | The same thing happend to me just today ^_^ | 00:11 |
| bieb | eternal.. can it be set up like a file system? or just send the files as attachments? | 00:11 |

| eternalswd | bieb, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1593 | 00:11 |
| junkbox | jrib. yes i pasted in "sudo update-alternatives --config java" it gives 3 options. the third option is " /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java". | 00:12 |
| junkbox | jrib: it is set to the default | 00:12 |

| batelje | hello everyone , i burned a zenwalk cd with k3b as an image , but when starting up again with the cd in , it just boots up ubuntu. and i want to install zenwalk on my other HD , NEED HELP ! | 00:12 |
| scragar | batelje: have go configured your BIOS to boot from CD first? | 00:13 |
| eternalswd | batelje, have your boot order set correctly in bios? | 00:13 |
| Lunks | LjL: I mean, -screen is the parameter I'm looking for (to change screen resolution) | 00:13 |
| batelje | Yes i did | 00:13 |
| LjL | Lunks: hm afraid not, "-screen" only accepts a screen name that was *defined* in xorg.conf. so it's more complicated than that, you should create a *new* Screen section in xorg.conf, and set 800x600 as its default resolution, i think | 00:13 |
| Lunks | hmm ok | 00:13 |
| Gatestone | ok, it looks like googling for "site:irclogs.ubuntu.com keywords" is a killer way to find info! | 00:13 |
| batelje | i even turn off my HD , so my pc have the only choice to boot up from cd | 00:14 |

| Guerra | Any ideas? | 00:19 |
| jrib | junkbox: ok, then you would give us the url to your paste. Can you do 'sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun'. Then close all instances of firefox, run 'ps -ef' and verify firefox is not running, and lastly, visit http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml in firefox? | 00:19 |

| fujin_ | Is that partition a primary partition? | 00:19 |

| bcardarella | I added the Run Application icon to my menu tray. Is there a way to have a keyboard shortcut to this? (I checked Preference/Keyboard Shortcuts but nothing there) I would like to do the Super+R similar to the run dialog box in Windows | 00:27 |
| eternalswd | scragar, that's right, I moved it to fstab once I figured out the uuid option | 00:27 |
| LjL | ailean: marginally sol | 00:27 |
| jrib | junkbox: pastebin what you get when you visit "about:plugins" in your browser and the output of 'ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/' | 00:27 |
| LjL | so | 00:27 |
| redheat | quick question, does the nvidia drivers that come with ubuntu's repos support the 8 generation of the nvidia video cards | 00:27 |
| redheat | I mean is there a driver in the nvidia drivers that has the following tag 100.14.19 | 00:27 |
| jrib | bcardarella: alt-f2, edit in system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts | 00:27 |
| Lam_ | i can't seem to connect to any workgroups when using samba. does anyone know the cause? (i have samba and smbfs installed, and i'm trying to connect to an ubuntu desktop) | 00:28 |
| ailean | LjL, so i'll keep it as it is for now. but just for my information, an AMD turion 64 x2 technically should be using the 64-bit version, yeah? | 00:28 |
| Shpook | okay, im back | 00:28 |
| bcardarella | jrib: thanks | 00:28 |
| redheat | guys anyone | 00:28 |

| kst | is there a way to disable Xgl in Ubuntu other than creating that disable file? so I can set it easily for a second session without removing/renaming files? | 00:28 |
| SeanTater | factboy818181: unlikely, as I believe desktops very rarely if at all power off HD's, I;m not even sure it's possible | 00:29 |

| UbuntuPwns | how come this server doesnt show the ops/hops/voice status on the nick list? | 00:30 |
| Shpook | eternalswd: I tried, and it says stream not seekable. | 00:30 |
| ailean | LjL, ok, i take your point. Thanks for the advice LjL :) | 00:30 |
| LjL | ailean, any 64 bit processor can use the 32 bit version - the vice versa is not true. yours is a 64 bit processor | 00:30 |
| ailean | great :) | 00:30 |
| LjL | UbuntuPwns: it does. check your client's settings. | 00:30 |
| UbuntuPwns | hmmm on other servers i have no prob LjL | 00:30 |
| numique | huhu (toll, wieder amsgs schreiben zu können^^) | 00:31 |
| eternalswd | Shpook, does it abort? Does it play if you just do mplayer mms://url | 00:31 |
| Guerra | What would the advantage of using the 64 bit instead of the 32 bit, in practical terms. | 00:31 |
| Guerra | not theoretical. | 00:31 |
| junkbox | jrib: about:plugins---http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42976/ | 00:31 |

| eternalswd | Guerra, it would be faster | 00:31 |
| ailean | Guerra, it should give a performance advantage | 00:31 |
| Guerra | how much faster? | 00:31 |
| orionr | How do you disable hard drivers that are mounted from showing up on your desktop? | 00:31 |
| SeanTater | Iceshadow: I don't know much about that, but the following info might help someone else: have you tried to plug it in directly to your MB and what filesystem is it? | 00:31 |

| SeanTater | scragar: 32bit will, but 64 bit will last something like 600 billion years | 00:32 |

| Guerra | Okay. I got a problem. Trying to boot with Gnome Partition Editor, and it won't go into the GUI. | 00:36 |
| fluffman | if that doesn't work, try a legacy | 00:36 |
| gecko89 | fluffman: I've installed the restricted driver, it says it's in use | 00:36 |
| eternalswd | Shpook, hold on, there's an argument to tell it where to download to, let me find it | 00:37 |

| tcpdumpgod | Pancakes you dont need to install drivers for your router sweetie. | 01:04 |
| [darkfire] | Pancakes: You said router. What sort of router is this. What brand | 01:04 |
| [darkfire] | just like tcpdumpgod said | 01:04 |
| Pancakes | It's a Wireless Router - WUSB300N Linksys | 01:05 |
| tcpdumpgod | You just need your ethernet or wireless drivers installed on your desktop/laptop Pancakes | 01:05 |
| [darkfire] | What kind of adapter is in your computer | 01:05 |
| [darkfire] | to connect to the Router | 01:05 |
| Pancakes | USB | 01:05 |

| Pancakes | Linksys - WUSB300N | 01:06 |

| SmileyChris | installed scribus, looks manky - is there something I'm missing to make it look like all my other pretty windows? | 01:09 |
| Pancakes | What do you mean by security? | 01:09 |

| LjL | sharpie: 1) you can get a list of the packages you have installed using the method above 2) to back up your data and personal program settings, you will need to back up your /home 3) if you manually changed anything in /etc, you may want to back it up | 01:23 |

| LjL | reval, apt-get doesn't install packages in any particular directory. files are scattered into many directories depending on their *purpose*, so for instance, documentation is usually in /usr/share/doc. type « dpkg -L packagename » to see a list of all the files that belong to a certain package | 01:29 |

| cleaton | nhuisman, you have 7.10? | 01:41 |
| nhuisman | this is an 8800 gts | 01:41 |
| nhuisman | yeah | 01:41 |
| Speckmade | and what about defragmentation with vfat partitions? is this whole defragmentation thing just a conspiracy like the firewall thing? can somebody point me to some resources for fut | 01:41 |
| Speckmade | rther reading? | 01:41 |
| fluffman | nhuisman: is that an nvidia? | 01:41 |
| nhuisman | yes | 01:41 |
| tcpdumpgod | taime1 ? | 01:42 |
| fluffman | gksude nvidia-settings | 01:42 |
| craigbass1976 | A friend is having an issue with firefox and youtube. It seems (I've only seen it once) that hitting the back button causes FF to lock up/crash. I copied my firefox folder over to his home directory and he has the same issue still. | 01:42 |
| fluffman | *gksudo | 01:42 |
| cleaton | nhuisman, system > adniminstration > screens and graphics | 01:42 |
| taime1 | tcpdumpgod: even if i boot into the os when its not connected, the desktop takes forever to load and programs are VERY slow to start and use... this is a problem for a LOT of people online, but there has been no answer.... | 01:42 |
| cleaton | or use nvidia-settings | 01:42 |
| cleaton | i use nvidia settings | 01:42 |
| nhuisman | cleaton, yeah it's not in there | 01:42 |
| kst | how do you reinstall Xgl? i removed it with apt-get using --purge and reinstalled it (xserver-xgl that is).. but somehow my resolution is broken (i think) and my session just crashes after a few moments | 01:42 |
| craigbass1976 | There is a FF update he was doing when I talked to him last, but I was curious if anyone else had run into this. I have not personally | 01:42 |
| nhuisman | do I have to install nvidia settings? | 01:42 |
| fluffman | nhuisman, no | 01:42 |
| nhuisman | nevermind it was just not autocompleting | 01:42 |
| fluffman | it works if you have nvidia-glx-new installed | 01:42 |
| tcpdumpgod | taime1 do me a favor and open up a terminal... then issue the command "top". | 01:43 |
| cleaton | fluffman, you get nvidia-settings with the driver in the repo? | 01:43 |
| LjL | Speckmade, FAT gets fragmented quite easily, however, i don't believe there are Linux tools to defragment it | 01:43 |
| nhuisman | god | 01:43 |
| nhuisman | it's retarded how hot those chips run idle | 01:43 |
| nhuisman | 58c | 01:43 |
| tcpdumpgod | taime1 after that, unplug your internet connection and see if any processes go haywire... i bet thats what it is. | 01:43 |

| redheat | hi everyone.. | 01:43 |
| cleaton | nhuisman, your graphics card is 58c? | 01:43 |
| taime1 | tcpdumpgod: meh, im not at the computer... i just figured since everyone else online using ubuntu up to feisty, was experiencing this, there would be an easy answer | 01:43 |
| boontoo | Anyway to do a ubuntu scanner that gets rid of all the crap you dont need? | 01:43 |
| redheat | ok I want you all to help me on this problem.. | 01:43 |

| pfak | Anyone have any guides for tuning I/O on 2.6? I'm having issues where heavy IO on a software RAID1 is locking up the system pretty badly... | 01:45 |
| osxdude | BTW, guys there is two ubotus | 01:45 |
| fluffman | cleaton: nvidia-settings and nvidia-glx-new (the driver) are two seperate packages. installing one will remove the other. | 01:45 |
| cleaton | taime1, it's not a problem for me, maybe you have ntp in autostart? | 01:45 |
| cleaton | fluffman, oh ok | 01:45 |
| LjL | !test > LjL (LjL, see the private message from Ubotu) | 01:45 |

| redheat | I have a new laptop with a built in 8400 GSM nvidia video card, so I said why not try the restricted drivers the 100.14.19 that come with ubuntu, so I downloaded them via the synaptec manager, installed them, and two things I noticed: 1. in comparison to using the usual nvidia drivers which we download from nvidia and use, these drivers are dead slow.. I mean real SLOOOW..second, they don't come with an nvidia settings manager instlaled so I headed back t | 01:46 |
| redheat | o the synaptec manager and tried to download the nvidia settings, and the first thing it told me..if I want the nvidia settings I need to remove the nvidia-new-glx drivers..in other words if I wanna install the settings manager for hte nvidia drivers..I need to uninstall the nvidia drivers.. | 01:46 |
| osxdude | Woha | 01:46 |
| osxdude | Calm down there :P | 01:46 |

| EightyFiveOnline | how can i check ifsql is on? | 01:49 |
| redheat | hi | 01:49 |
| fluffman | Kalamansi: it's not easy to do | 01:49 |
| fluffman | you could try something like vmware | 01:49 |
| Kalamansi | fluffman: im not familiar with unix.tho i tried to install some.how about "wine" ? | 01:50 |
| redheat | not me fluffman, it didn't work for me at all.. | 01:50 |
| Kalamansi | im not sure about "wine" thing | 01:50 |
| cleaton | Kalamansi, it dosen't work in wine | 01:50 |
| redheat | really really a joy killer | 01:50 |
| Kalamansi | been windows user since i was born | 01:50 |
| lolgenik | why is ubuntu free | 01:50 |
| cleaton | but if you use a vm it should work | 01:50 |
| atlfalcons866 | is 20k inodes a lot | 01:50 |
| foug | what's a really easy to use ID3 editing program? One that lets me mass delete tags etc | 01:50 |

| Kalamansi | cleaton: is there a way that dreamweavercs3 and photoshop cs3 could run in ubuntu? | 01:50 |
| foug | Kuprin: i downgraded to 7.04 today | 01:51 |
| fluffman | Kalamansi: wine won't work unless you install it in windows first, and even then it's not easy | 01:51 |
| lolgenik | lol ubuntu is so much work time | 01:51 |
| lolgenik | why would it be free | 01:51 |
| Bigs | I need help with my new webcam, wich works great with camorama! (thanks for that advice) But I want to use skype and Im having a hard time configing it. My model is logitech QuickCam Communicate STX | 01:51 |
| cleaton | Kalamansi, yes there is, you could install windows inside ubuntu and run it from there | 01:51 |
| Bigs | any suggestions? | 01:51 |
| fluffman | Kalamansi: try installing vmware | 01:51 |
| LjL | or virtualbox | 01:51 |
| Bigs | i wanna avoid vmware (aware that wasnt for me) | 01:51 |
| brupm | LjL: +s worked but all the folder have a red background now | 01:51 |
| fluffman | oh yeah, virtualbox...I couldn't think of that one | 01:52 |
| Kuprin | foug, I see...I didn't find 7.04 remotely stable >_> | 01:52 |
| LjL | brupm: uh no idea about that. i'm not using nautilus | 01:52 |
| SonicJsxx | Would it be possible to have a KDE desktop with ubuntu? | 01:52 |
| foug | Kuprin: >_< lol | 01:52 |
| Bigs | I assume if my webcam works in camorama, skype should be able to config it | 01:52 |
| tronyx | SonicJsxx, yes | 01:52 |

| cleaton | Kalamansi, i know photoshop cs 2 works under wine | 01:53 |
| foug | what's a really easy to use ID3 editing program? One that lets me mass delete tags etc | 01:53 |
| Kalamansi | fluffman: thats stupidity. we are trying to migrate ubuntu because it is free... | 01:53 |
| fluffman | yeah i'm sorry | 01:53 |
| Kuprin | foug, I'm going to see if 6.06 runs better than mint | 01:53 |
| Kuprin | If it does it gets a cookie and I try newer versions | 01:53 |
| fluffman | i personally use the GIMP, Kalamansi | 01:53 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: well, dreamwaver and photoshop aren't exactly free either | 01:53 |
| Bigs | ill look into it more before I annoy you guys bout this | 01:53 |
| Kalamansi | cleaton: install wine in windows xp? | 01:53 |
| foug | Kuprin: let me know if it does, i've never used anything before 7.04 | 01:53 |

| cleaton | Kalamansi, for more information on what you can run using wine, check this page http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2631 | 01:53 |
| tupac | mint is crap than 6.0 | 01:53 |
| fluffman | but I know it's nowhere NEAR as good as photoshop | 01:53 |
| Kuprin | tupac, Mint is crap on this lappy, it runs GREAT on my other one | 01:53 |
| cleaton | Kalamansi, no you don't have to install xp if you use wine, wine is something that can help you run windows stuff on linux without having to install windows itself | 01:54 |
| Kalamansi | fluffman its like photoshop right?gimp | 01:54 |
| tupac | ls it that's different now | 01:54 |
| === wrajski__ is now known as wrajski | ||

| craigbass1976 | bitwize, not on purpose. I see your reply now. :) | 02:09 |
| HealthyElijah | LadyNikon: i just downloaded 13 updates from there, worked great! | 02:09 |
| tronyx | visualdeception that's fine, it's not getting it configured, it's getting it to stop freaking out when there is a program on top of it after that program is minimzed | 02:09 |
| bitwize | As root do a "setserial /dev/ttyS0" | 02:09 |
| tronyx | i can't find anything close to the same problem | 02:09 |
| LadyNikon | hmm | 02:09 |
| LjL | Kalamansi, you can't afford Windows, but you can afford Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Visual Basic? i mean, wow. but seriously, WINE is cool to use a Windows application once in a while, despite glitches - or if one is really lucky, their favorite application may be among the few that run perfectly well. but you're asking for a bit too much there. | 02:09 |
| Kuprin | Now the big question: Gnome, or Fluxbuntu? | 02:09 |
| NSM | Kalamansi: if you can't find the answer on google or here I think your best bet would be Citrix since you seem to be limited by cost. | 02:09 |
| bitwize | Fluxbuntu. | 02:09 |
| visualdeception | tronyx # Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone) | 02:10 |
| visualdeception | double_buffer yes | 02:10 |
| mancrow | that is all i have to do | 02:10 |
| tronyx | double buffering is on, as is own window | 02:10 |
| Kalamansi | LjL: no no.i work in a company yes they can afford.but i want to make my own business.im tired of policy and rules of my company | 02:10 |
| bitwize | So um, anyone else having trouble getting their TabletPC pointer to work as an extended device? | 02:10 |
| mancrow | now how i change settings | 02:10 |
| * Kuprin uses Fluxbox on his Gentoo box so I'm leaning towards it, I'm more wondering about the maturity of it and how well it runs. | 02:10 | |
| LjL | Kalamansi: well, you'll still need to pay licenses for Photoshop, Dreamweaver and VB, won't you? | 02:10 |
| Kalamansi | NSM: Citrix? sorry not familiar.im a windows user.please explain..i need your advice..thanks | 02:11 |
| LadyNikon | "Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)" | 02:11 |
| gerro | Kalamansi: gimp and gthumb, komposer, loads of visual basic ide's. You might want to try checking for open source alternatives for those things | 02:11 |
| LjL | i think that bundle is more expensive than Windows | 02:11 |
| HealthyElijah | how in the heck do i get rid of these people joining and leaving????? | 02:11 |
| LadyNikon | thats what i get | 02:11 |
| pinion | So I have Ubunto 7.10 installed and I typed sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop How can I get rid of it? | 02:11 |
| HealthyElijah | i dont care if they are joining or leaving | 02:11 |
| EdgEy | ps alone is more expensive than windows :) | 02:11 |
| bitwize | XInput says it found the device. | 02:11 |
| kst | HealthyElijah a quick workaround would be /part #ubuntu | 02:11 |
| kst | else: just sort out your irc client | 02:11 |
| LjL | pinion: sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop, but LOOK at what it's going to remove before you say "Yes" | 02:11 |
| EdgEy | and VB in wine ? seems a bit awkward to be programming in windows.. in linux | 02:11 |
| HealthyElijah | hah | 02:11 |
| funkyFlash | kalamansi, you seem to have yourself a paradox, you want to be cost effective by using linux, but you're depending on three of the most proprietary, expensive pieces of software on the market. | 02:11 |
| pinion | Or, I have KDE and Gnome installed on my machine adn want Gnome to now be the default. How do I change it | 02:11 |
| pinion | ljl: thanks | 02:11 |
| HealthyElijah | .part #ubuntu | 02:12 |
| bitwize | Kalamansi: Install Vista and be done with it. | 02:12 |
| Kalamansi | LjL: what i mean is..use ubuntu..then install this cs3 products without license is illegal right.what if i will use in home? | 02:12 |
| LjL | pinion, to just make it the default, why don't you simply select it as a session in GDM? it will stick. | 02:12 |
| cleaton | Kuprin, i like gnome, mostly because i like the fluffy compiz stuff xD | 02:12 |
| visualdeception | tronyx have you tried #conky? | 02:12 |
| pinion | ljl: because kde dm is coming up now or I would | 02:12 |
| NSM | Kalamansi: After your last post will prob. not be an option. Citrix is client/server software where you can buy one OS/application license and multiple users can access. | 02:12 |
| bitwize | no one else having TabletPC issues with Gutsy? | 02:12 |
| Kalamansi | funkyFlash: to less the cost..what are the alternatives of dreamweavercs3 and photoshopcs3?and microsoft visual basic IIS? | 02:12 |
| tronyx | no but i will now | 02:13 |
| LjL | Kalamansi, it's illegal to use Photoshop & friends without a license (at home or at work), just as it's illegal to use Windows without a license. Due disclaimer, i am not a lawyer. | 02:13 |
| cleaton | Kalamansi, if you don't pay the license it's illegal | 02:13 |
| HealthyElijah | funny stuff | 02:13 |
| LjL | pinion: then "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" | 02:13 |
| pinion | ljl: thanks | 02:13 |
| LjL | Kalamansi, you've been told like three times... | 02:13 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: alternatives to Photoshop: the GIMP, Krita, or the non-free Pixel32 | 02:13 |
| bitwize | Kalamansi: Emacs, GIMP, and er... Python. | 02:13 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: alternative to Dreamweaver: Kompozer | 02:13 |
| gerro | Kalamansi: IIS? apache | 02:13 |
| pinion | ljl: that worked. Thanks a bunch! | 02:13 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: alternatives to VB: i haven't the slighest idea | 02:14 |
| EdgEy | alternative to VB .. don't exist | 02:14 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: do you specifically need VB? | 02:14 |
| bitwize | Mono has a VB compiler now, I think. | 02:14 |
| cleaton | Kalamansi, for webdevelopment i recomend aptana, or programming in general eclipse | 02:14 |
| gerro | Kalamansi: I use scite editor and fbc compiler for basic | 02:14 |
| FiShYmAn | what folder do i create to get /~username | 02:14 |
| gerro | Kalamansi: compiled with that I can generate cross platform basic apps (kinda crappy but least its something, more a learning thing) | 02:14 |
| FiShYmAn | on apache/ubuntu | 02:14 |
| bitwize | who has a TabletPC? | 02:15 |
| gerro | Kalamansi, clearton: webmin awesome webservers ^^ | 02:15 |
| _6StringKng_ | any programs I can use in ubuntu to edit media info like properties" in windows? | 02:15 |
| vincent | vvvvv | 02:15 |
| gerro | _6stringKng_: try Kino | 02:16 |
| lunin | Does anyone know how to get the speakers and headphones to operate on different channels or something so I can listen just through the headphones? | 02:16 |
| _6StringKng_ | kj | 02:16 |
| passbe | Does anyone have a detailed guide, on how to setup a local imap server ?? there are some on the forums but not detailed enough | 02:16 |
| _6StringKng_ | also, my frigging ¨ have been super tiny, and I have to hit shift like twice ever since I installed 7.10, any ideas why?> | 02:16 |
| bitwize | Does anyone have a TabletPC? I've a working TabletPC tablet but it's not showing as an XInput device -- hence, no pressure events. | 02:17 |
| gerro | lunin: if for some reason your sound card isn't muting the speakers when headphones are plugged in then lower pcm to 0 and raise headphone setting, try alsamixer if regular mixer doesn't work | 02:17 |
| Kalamansi | cleaton: aptana and general eclipse is for ubuntu? | 02:17 |
| Kalamansi | cleaton:and its free too? | 02:17 |
| cleaton | Kalamansi, yes | 02:17 |
| bitwize | Do you have to do something to enable XInput extended devices on gutsy? | 02:18 |
| chipbuddy | i want to play Go on gutsy. i don't mind playing against a computer because i'm really not very good. does anyone know the name of something i can search for in the synaptic package manager? | 02:18 |
| cleaton | Kalamansi, check out http://www.eclipse.org/ and http://www.aptana.com/ . aptana has a free version and a pro version | 02:18 |
| bitwize | erm, go? | 02:18 |
| gfh | f | 02:18 |
| gerro | bitwize: yeah old chinese chess like game but 1 vs 1 sort of like checkers right chipbuddy? | 02:19 |
| NSM | Kalamansi: For someone looking to start a business you sure are looking for a lot of free software. | 02:19 |
| chipbuddy | yeah that's it | 02:19 |
| bitwize | I know what it is, but have you tried putting "go" into the search box? | 02:19 |

| gerro | chipbuddy: try searching for gnome games, think there is a similar game in there or perhaps eboard and get a plugin for it | 02:20 |
| Kalamansi | cleaton: ok thanks for the advices.guys thanks..my copany's licensed OS are now 38 genuine xp home.and corporate cs3 and MS visual basic IIS..we are trying to migrate to unix (ubuntu) | 02:20 |
| gerro | chipbuddy: if all else fails try www.sourceforge.org see if any in development | 02:20 |
| Kalamansi | if we can find alternatives of CS3 products and MS visual basic IIS...as iin SAME features of dreamweavercs3 and pthoshopcs3 MS visual basic IIS | 02:21 |
| EdgEy | well | 02:21 |
| darkblueB | hello: fresh gutsy install.. libreadline.so.5: undefined symbol : PC ???? | 02:21 |
| cleaton | Kalamansi, ok :) good that you are looking for alternatives. wish you luck =) | 02:21 |
| Kalamansi | we are tired of windows errors...bluescreens and etc..hangers and etc | 02:21 |
| EdgEy | visual basic is a windows programming language , it is built for windows how you could duplicate that on linux i have no idea | 02:22 |
| EdgEy | lol | 02:22 |

| bitwize | the Xorg log file indicates the "stylus", "cursor", and "eraser" devices were present, as well as the "Synaptics Touchpad" device; however "xinput -l" or "xidump list" list only "pointer" and "keyboard". | 02:22 |
| Kalamansi | cleaton: yes thanks.what if we will use ubuntu 7.4..what are the alternatives of dreamweavercs3 / photoshopcs3 and MS visual basic IIS? need your hand guys | 02:22 |
| bitwize | and it's driving me nuts because I used wacdump to make sure the device worked; and X indicates it's working, but it's not appearing as an XInput device. | 02:23 |

| strangeintp | hello... I have a package install question, if anyone can help | 02:24 |
| cleaton | i don't know how it compares to ms visual basic as i've never used that | 02:24 |
| sung | hey guys, quick question | 02:24 |
| sung | i grabbed and unpacked linux-source-2.6.22-14-generic | 02:24 |
| bitwize | Kalamansi: Use Emacs to write your HTML, GIMP to draw your graphics and script your web site with Python. (I recommend web.py.) | 02:24 |
| strangeintp | re: vis basic - huh? people still use that? hehe | 02:24 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: you won't find anything with the EXACT SAME features as those three. forget it. | 02:24 |
| sung | and make-kpkg doesn't work right on it | 02:24 |
| basotl | Kalamansi - I use Quanta and Gimpshop for web development... though Quanta isn't as advanced for graphical web development. | 02:25 |
| Kalamansi | cleaton: i see..you know some room channel where lots of programmers (windows) who use photoshopcs3 / dreamweavercs3 and MS visual basic IIS? thanks | 02:25 |
| PirateHead | Yo - can anybody help me with sound card troubleshooting? My sound stopped working when I did a fresh install of Gutsy, whereas it worked under Feisty. | 02:25 |
| PirateHead | Kalamansi: for Windows discussion, you can try #windows | 02:25 |
| basotl | But Quanta is still one of my favorite web development programs. | 02:25 |
| Kalamansi | basotl: yes i saw quanta and gimp..lack of features man not like cs3 products =( | 02:25 |
| cleaton | Kalamansi, eclipse has a channel here #eclipse | 02:25 |

| ponymask | if anyone would like to help me with g++ please message me | 02:26 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: why Ubuntu 7.04 anyway? the current version is 7.10, and if you want to use something older but supported for longer, 6.06 | 02:26 |
| strangeintp | what am I supposed to do with the bin? | 02:26 |
| EdgEy | nothing will have the same features otherwise why would anyone ever use PS | 02:26 |
| Kalamansi | Kalamansi: i have 7.04 only. i downloaded for 3 days and a half (1.6 mbps) here =( | 02:27 |

| ponymask | c++* | 02:30 |
| LjL | ponymask, it will never show in your apps menu, as it's merely a compiler. it's a command you run from a *terminal* to compile a C++ program. | 02:30 |

| pipegeek | djroze: actually, I dunno---I tend to just use vi. But I'm spoiled for java..... takes me 4x as long outside eclipse, because I'm a brat | 02:31 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: any flavor of VMWare should do. you can also try VirtualBox, which has an open source edition. | 02:31 |
| djroze | haha oh me too | 02:31 |
| LadyNikon | welp i fixed my problem | 02:31 |
| djroze | java is def. my strongest language | 02:31 |
| djroze | i was just wondering how eclipse works for coding C++ | 02:32 |
| strangeintp | can someone help me with my bin problem? | 02:32 |
| pipegeek | djroze: my understanding is it's the second-best plugin after java | 02:32 |
| pipegeek | which sort of makes sence | 02:32 |
| strangeintp | djroze - I've used eclipse for c++ | 02:32 |
| djroze | pipegeek: i remember using it a while ago and not being super thrilled with it | 02:32 |
| LadyNikon | looks like i had to open the manager for repositories and I guess that fixed it | 02:32 |
| pipegeek | strangeintp: did you set your .bin executable? | 02:32 |
| strangeintp | it's really just an IDE, it can use gcc | 02:32 |
| djroze | pipegeek: but i barely used it at all, so not much basis for a real opinion | 02:32 |
| strangeintp | pipegeek: hm I'm kind of a linux newb - how do I do that? | 02:33 |
| Kalamansi | LjL: what exact website dude?im not sure about websites who have no virus or something | 02:33 |
| pipegeek | strangeintp: np ^.^ just do "chmod +x whosywhatsits.bin" | 02:33 |
| pipegeek | sans quotes | 02:33 |
| strangeintp | thx, I'll try it | 02:34 |
| pipegeek | strangeintp: in windows, you mark something executable by giving it the right filename extension---in unix, it's a permissions thing | 02:34 |
| === craig_ is now known as bigswolemuthafuc | ||
| Kalamansi | LjL: VirtualBox where to get this dude?thanks | 02:34 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: http://www.vmware.com/ http://www.virtualbox.org/ | 02:34 |
| pipegeek | strangeintp: the reason is that, that way, you have to explicitly allow anything you download to be run---no such thing as a trojan.jpg.scr | 02:34 |
| strangeintp | pipegeek: gotcha... I tried messing with permissions once before and broke my head, or something | 02:34 |
| Kalamansi | LjL : do i need to download vmware player and virtualbox? | 02:34 |
| strangeintp | that makes a lot of sense | 02:34 |
| LjL | Kalamansi, one OR the other. | 02:34 |
| strangeintp | even one better than a firewall | 02:35 |
| PirateHead | Can somebody help me with sound card troubleshooting? My sound stopped working when I did a fresh install of Gutsy, whereas it worked under Feisty. | 02:35 |
| pipegeek | strangeintp: and you can do it from gnome, by right-clicking, going to properties, and going to "Permissions" | 02:35 |
| Kalamansi | LjL: i can use ubuntu also as server using vmware?i can control also my workstations? | 02:35 |
| strangeintp | PirateHead: I had similar issues with my wireless card - had to install a new driver and blacklist the default | 02:35 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: yes, you can - "control your workstation", no idea what you mean | 02:35 |
| basotl | I ran a server using VMWARE for a long time. | 02:35 |
| pipegeek | Kalamansi: vmware player is a virtualization solution from the vmware company; virtualbox is a different, competing open source product based on qemu | 02:36 |
| pipegeek | both are nice | 02:36 |
| === m0u5e_ is now known as m0u5e | ||

| Kalamansi | LjL: like controling all workstations,asign ips,block ports etc? | 02:36 |
| pipegeek | Kalamansi: if you go with vmware, you'd probably be better off with vmware server, which is also free, and a heck of a lot more configurable | 02:36 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: i.e. you want to use it as a router? | 02:36 |

| john83 | Ebiggs | are you using laptop?? | 02:41 |
| strangeintp | pipegeek: gah... still telling me command not found | 02:42 |
| Ebiggs | Nah, its a desktop with an audigy 4 card. | 02:42 |
| Kalamansi | LjL: yes i want it as a router...to less the cost also i guess | 02:42 |
| maxo | threeseas: phpmyadmin is slow, I was looking for a native gui client | 02:42 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: well, i'm not really sure how well VMWare can cope with that | 02:42 |
| Kalamansi | LjL: and also block other ports and video streaming and irc | 02:42 |
| strangeintp | grrrr | 02:42 |
| john83 | thanks pipegeek! but i wanna know how to get and install new themes? | 02:42 |
| skycloud | basotl, theres no need a friend of mine lent me the disk and he installed ubuntu with it just yesterday | 02:42 |
| pipegeek | john83: check out www.gnome-look.org | 02:43 |
| kst | i went back from 8.40 to 8.37 fglrx from repositories, but after a reboot restricted-drivers-manager thingy tells me they are enabled but nto in use... glxinfo and fglrxinfo say mesa aswell | 02:43 |
| lunin_ | I'll try putting this again as I'm not sure if my connection died before or after I tried to send it. I tried changing the PCM to make the speakers quiet when the headphones are in, but when I changed the PCM in the Realtek one the headphone bars move when the PCM is moved and in the Alsa mixer they move separately but both channels are effected anyway | 02:43 |
| bitwize | how does one set up an Xgl-less session? | 02:43 |
| Kalamansi | pipegeek: where to get vmware server dude?im afraid of malwares and viruses..oh not again..we are tired of reformating hds huhuhu | 02:43 |
| basotl | skycloud - okay that's normally the first thing I check | 02:43 |
| riotkittie | strangeintp: try "sh yourbinnamehere.bin" ? | 02:43 |
| NotSoGutsy | is there no way to make mplayer go around the normal display [and therefore Compiz as well] ? | 02:43 |
| strangeintp | ok, will try | 02:43 |
| PirateHead | bitwize: you could just uninstall Xgl. | 02:43 |
| threeseas | maxo: http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/administrator/ | 02:44 |
| PirateHead | bitwize: otherwise you might be able to do it by restarting X and choosing a non-Xgl session from the login screen | 02:44 |

| dipu | hi .. how do i login to mysql from command prompt?? | 02:44 |
| pipegeek | kalamansi: actually, would you be installing this *on* ubuntu? Because there's an easy way | 02:44 |
| basotl | skycload - Did you check for any apparent error messages or the point were it freezes the install. | 02:44 |
| strangeintp | riotkittie: thanks, that worked | 02:44 |
| pipegeek | strangeintp: you still there? I just sent you a PM | 02:45 |
| riotkittie | :) | 02:45 |
| ion | look I'm having a problem to install skype | 02:45 |
| ion | what I have to to then.. | 02:45 |
| maxo | threeseas: thanks :-) but I tried it, and it wouldn't even let me create a table with VARCHAR, and generally didn't seem great | 02:45 |
| LjL | Kalamansi: (this is getting very offtopic but is there any reason why you aren't using antivirus software?) | 02:45 |
| bitwize | okay, thanks. | 02:45 |
| Scunizi | ion, you might need the "static" version not the deb | 02:45 |
| basotl | skycload - in addition have you tried the alternate install cd? | 02:45 |
| ion | I've been looking at ubuntu guide dapper drake | 02:45 |
| skycloud | basotl, the install doesnt freeze, but the comp crashes or the cd-drive just opens up and the screen is black | 02:45 |
| bitwize | LjL: he can't afford it? | 02:46 |
| LjL | bitwize: *cough* | 02:46 |
| ion | Scunizi: so shall I do then ? | 02:46 |
| skycloud | basotl, no but i've installed ubuntu before with a livecd just not this version of ubuntu. | 02:46 |
| johndbritton | i ran badblocks on one of my harddrives and found 109 were bad... how can i fix/ignore them... what should i do? | 02:46 |
| ion | ? | 02:47 |
| basotl | skycload - just checking all the normal bases. | 02:47 |
| skycloud | basotl, on the same comp. I'm reinstalling because my computer wouldn't boot | 02:47 |
| GRocket | Is it OK to install Kubuntu packages on a Ubuntu system, or will it cause problems? It seems like Kubuntu has more applications than Ubuntu. | 02:47 |
| pipegeek | Kalamansi: if you're installing on windows, you just go to http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ | 02:47 |
| pipegeek | Kalamansi: same thing works in ubuntu.... but you can also install directly through synaptic | 02:47 |
| skycloud | basotl, it used to have problems like this before though, it would just crash while i was in the middle of something | 02:47 |
| preaction | GRocket, they're both the same underlying system, so yet | 02:47 |
| Scunizi | ion. you'll need to read the posts on Skype.com about which version to use with the version of Ubuntu. They should have instructions on how to install. | 02:47 |
| preaction | GRocket, i mean "yes" | 02:48 |
| basotl | skycloud - that is odd | 02:48 |
| GRocket | Thanks! | 02:48 |
| mEck0_ | is there any other docking app like AWN which doesn't require compiz? because awn crashes a lot (maybe because of compiz) | 02:48 |
| Scunizi | ion, are you using Gutsy? or Feisty? | 02:48 |
| ion | Scunizi: cool I gonna have a look cheers buddy... | 02:48 |
| strangeintp | pipegeek: you can install vmware through synaptic? | 02:49 |
| ion | Scunizi: you ubuntu's version? | 02:49 |
| scguy318 | mEck0_: kiba-dock mebbe | 02:49 |
| scguy318 | strangeintp: dont think so | 02:49 |
| ion | Scunizi: you mean ubuntu's version ? | 02:49 |
| basotl | skycloud - it's obviously not supposed to just crash. Have you seen similar problems from people with similar hardware on the forums? | 02:49 |
| djroze | hey there...I have an external USB sound card and an internal card on my laptop, and I want to play sound out of the external one if it's available, otherwise from the internal (for all applications)...what kind of configuration should I be making in terms of selecting ALSA/OSS for certain applications, editing an alsa config file, etc...? | 02:49 |
| scguy318 | strangeintp: mebbe VMware Server | 02:49 |
| Scunizi | ion, yes.. versions 6.06, 7.04, or 7.10? | 02:49 |
| pipegeek | strangeintp: canonical has packaged the server. You need to add http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu | 02:49 |
| mEck0_ | scguy318, thx, will try it | 02:49 |
| pipegeek | couple other things in there, too. Lemme check | 02:49 |
| skycloud | basotl, no i searched, my comp isnt that new either | 02:49 |
| skycloud | basotl, so its not to likely i'll find people with the same computer and problem | 02:50 |
| ion | Scunizi: dapper drake.. | 02:50 |
| strangeintp | well I'll be... you can | 02:50 |
| ion | Scunizi: perhaps that's the reason why is a bit tough now to put skype... | 02:51 |
| Scunizi | ion, ok.. Dapper is 6.06 and you'll need the "static" verson NOT static oss or dynamic. | 02:51 |
| ion | Scunizi: what do you think ? | 02:51 |
| pipegeek | strangeintp: did you ever get that binary installed? | 02:51 |
| brandon | my fstab has this /dev/sda2 /mnt/300 auto noauto,owner 0 0 then i did sudo chmod 777 /mnt/300 i think I really wanted 755, I want normal users to be able to read and write to this firewire external hdd | 02:52 |
| ion | Scunizi: so I have to change my version that's what you mean ? | 02:52 |
| lunin_ | Anyone know of any other way I could separate the headphone channel from the speaker channel? | 02:52 |
| Scunizi | ion, yes | 02:52 |
| Scunizi | ion, version of skype not ubuntu | 02:52 |
| basotl | skycloud, Well at this point the only thing I can really suggest is trying the alternate install cd. It tends to work when people have hard to diagnose problems with the live installer. | 02:52 |
| skycloud | basotl, any ideas other then the alternate cd I could try? | 02:52 |
| ion | Scunizi: cool.. | 02:52 |
| ion | Scunizi: much better... | 02:52 |
| Scunizi | ion, good luck | 02:52 |
| skycloud | basotl, alright guess its time to start downloading | 02:52 |
| pipegeek | brandon: what, exactly, do you want? 755 = owner (you) can read, write, and open; everyone else can just open and read | 02:53 |
| strangeintp | pipegeek: yep | 02:53 |
| ion | Scunizi: right...thanks.. | 02:53 |
| maxo | skycloud: are you trying to install ubuntu without the cd? | 02:53 |
| pipegeek | brandon: 777 everyone can read and write | 02:53 |
| pipegeek | = no access control at all | 02:53 |
| skycloud | maxo, no im using a livecd | 02:53 |
| brandon | brandon@brandon-desktop:~$ gedit /etc/fstab | 02:53 |
| maxo | skycloud: but it keeps freezing? | 02:53 |
| brandon | brandon@brandon-desktop:~$ sudo chmod 755 /mnt/300 | 02:53 |
| brandon | [sudo] password for brandon: | 02:53 |
| brandon | brandon@brandon-desktop:~$ mkdir /mnt/300/hello | 02:53 |
| brandon | mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/300/hello': Permission denied | 02:53 |
| basotl | skycloud - was having troubles with the live cd crashing and the installer dropping. | 02:53 |
| maxo | skycloud: do you have windows installed and a network cable? | 02:54 |
| brandon | why can't I mkdir if I have permission | 02:54 |
| pipegeek | brandon: what filesystem is the device? | 02:54 |
| pipegeek | brandon: if it's fat or ntfs, then it doesn't have any actual access control in the filesystem, and the permissions for *all* files on the device are set at mount time | 02:54 |
| yurimxpxman | (compiz-fusion problem) any idea what's going on with this? http://yurimxpxman.dyndns.org/paste | 02:54 |
| maxo | skycloud: if you do, use http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html , that's how I installed ubuntu because my CD was mucked up | 02:55 |
| pipegeek | brandon: you'd need to add a few mount options to your fstab; something like dmask=000,fmask=111 | 02:55 |
| brandon | 2 fat32s and one hfs+ all mount with sudo /sda1,2,3 -> DOS,300,journaled journaled is the hfs+ | 02:55 |
| paulistall | yuri: are you using an ati card | 02:55 |
| magic_dream | i'm sorry the question but ... my bluetooth services disapear looks i dont have now any service there :x | 02:55 |
| skycloud | maxo, hmm i don't know the password to the comp with windows, because its not mine =/ | 02:55 |
| pipegeek | brandon: ok. so, for the fat32 ones at least, /dev/sda2 /mnt/300 vfat noauto,owner,fmask=111,dmask=000 0 0 | 02:56 |
| maxo | skycloud: sounds like you shouldn't be installing another OS on it then | 02:56 |
| skycloud | and there is only 1 currently working monitor in my house | 02:56 |
| paulistall | yurimxpxman: are you using an ati card? | 02:56 |
| ion | Scunizi: can I ask you another question... | 02:56 |
| pipegeek | brandon: think the same probably applies to your hfs one, but I haven't tried using hfsplus under linux recently | 02:56 |
| yurimxpxman | paulistall: nvidia 7300 | 02:56 |
| skycloud | maxo, no im installing ubuntu on my computer, it had windows but then the harddrive got screwed so i installed linux on it | 02:56 |
| pipegeek | brandon: it would be nice if linux respected the hfs volume's permissions, but I doubt it | 02:56 |
| brandon | thanks pipegeek | 02:56 |

| paulistall | yurixpxman: wasn't what I thought it was | 02:57 |
| paulistall | if you are using nvidia | 02:58 |

| john83 | anyone knows what is the icon bar on the bottom of screen shots?? | 02:58 |
| yurimxpxman | crdlb: it's still doing it | 02:58 |

| yurimxpxman | crdlb: ok, brb | 02:59 |
| ion | scguy318:binary | 02:59 |
| bruenig | ion, depends on the program. It should come with installation documentation, READMEs and INSTALLs and so forth | 02:59 |
| scguy318 | ion: in that case, just do cd ~/Desktop && ./nameofapp | 02:59 |
| scguy318 | ion: make sure to chmod +x it beforehand if thats not already the case | 02:59 |

I figured out that there must be some other key bind to that, well, there is, but that can't be changed without creating a havoc of other problems. So, should I file my HUGE bugreport and wine about ho | 03:25 |

| secion8 | any info on why gutsy boots real slow on a gateway laptop? It takes like 5 minutes. | 03:25 |
| riotkittie | indian: try checking the tips/tutorial section in the forum. i know i saw a HOWTO on that recently but i cant remember where exactly. i think it was the forums. | 03:25 |

| NotSoGutsy | crdlb :: perhaps you can diangose something different then, periodically, I can't display *any* maximized window, they all show as black | 03:26 |

| navets_ | can somebody please help me get my sound working | 03:26 |
| navets_ | it was working before but very poorly | 03:26 |
| Kim^J | secion8: Have you checked the messages? Try googlin on howto remove the splash (One word removed from a line in grub.conf...) | 03:26 |

| NotSoGutsy | crdlb :: I've also been having some problems with video playback on Gutsy [problems with mplayer interacting with Compiz, I believe], but I think I solved those | 03:27 |
| locke_ | oh yeah my sound stopped working upon upgrade to 7.10 also | 03:27 |
| Kim^J | Sitting_Duck: What does the programs say? | 03:27 |
| locke_ | i have sound in xmms, and in mplayer including firefox plugin, but youtube videos have no sound | 03:27 |
| bardyr | Sitting_Duck, hey, install ubuntu-restricted-extras and run "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh" | 03:27 |
| Sitting_Duck | kim^J: Depends on the program. VLC dies silently. MPlayer says "Error FATAL: Could not initialize video filters..." | 03:27 |
| Kim^J | Ubuntu, userfriendly, PAH! | 03:28 |
| locke_ | i do have 2 sound cards installed, an onboard and a sblive 5.1, and the onboard doesnt work (and is disabled in BIOS) but still shows up in alsa, and i believe might be the default as well | 03:28 |
| Sitting_Duck | bardyr: I've already installed URE -- I'll try the other command. What's it do? | 03:28 |

| NotSoGutsy | locke_ :: have you tried `asoundconf' ? | 03:28 |
| bardyr | Sitting_Duck, enabled DVD encryption decryption, but its not legal in the states | 03:28 |
| locke_ | NotSoGutsy, no | 03:29 |
| locke_ | NotSoGutsy, hadnt heard about it, but i think i might have done something like that when i upgraded to feisty cause i had the same problem, just it was worse then | 03:29 |

| john83 | what kind of cd burning program you guys are using?? | 03:29 |
| preaction | !burn | john83 | 03:30 |
| ubotu | john83: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 03:30 |
| locke_ | how can i use asoundconf to make Live the default | 03:30 |
| john83 | gnomebaker is the best?? | 03:30 |
| indian | !cd | 03:30 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:30 |
| john83 | i just wander..;; | 03:30 |
| locke_ | when i ran asoundconf list i got V8237 (the onboard) and Live (the sblive) | 03:30 |
| navets_ | when you upgrade from fiesty to gutsy you upgrade your kernel | 03:30 |
| preaction | john83, i prefer K3B mysql | 03:30 |
| bardyr | Sitting_Duck, did it work? | 03:30 |
| navets_ | is there a way to reupgrade your kernel | 03:30 |
| indian | !burning | 03:30 |

| Sitting_Duck | bardyr: Ah, gotcha. I'm installing a couple of other things it said I needed to install first. I'll let you know in a sec | 03:31 |
| jimmy-nokernel | my sound went all 'scratchy', any ideas? | 03:31 |
| preaction | john83, that doesn't mean you can't use K3B | 03:31 |
| bardyr | Sitting_Duck, kk :) | 03:31 |
| john83 | ah really?? | 03:31 |
| preaction | john83, it just means you'll be downloading parts of KDE, and those parts will be loaded into memory while you're using KDE software. it means some more load time, that's about it. | 03:31 |

| locke_ | thanks lets see | 03:32 |
| john83 | ah i didnt know that! thanks!! | 03:32 |
| locke_ | how do i restart alsa | 03:32 |
| NotSoGutsy | locke_ :: `sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart' works for me | 03:33 |
| Comrade-Sergei | whats a program for linux that will open .vsd files (ms visio) | 03:33 |
| locke_ | k worked | 03:33 |
| locke_ | lets see about sound now | 03:33 |

| RandomUsr | does anyone know how to make LEAP work in Network Manager/ | 03:34 |
| eva_ | is there any way i can mv multiple files with the same extension in multiple folders with one command. I know if i do "mv *txt /somewhere" it moves all files within that directory to /somewhere. Can i also use this command to work recursively? | 03:34 |
| locke_ | in sound preferences, with sound playback set as ALSA i now get output | 03:34 |
| locke_ | so that part worked | 03:34 |
| locke_ | wonder whats up with youtube though | 03:34 |
| Ebiggs | Well, somehow my audio is working after a reboot without installing anything. | 03:34 |
| PiousMinion | Can I choose not to install Xorg at all with the alternate CD ? | 03:34 |
| locke_ | i couldnt have to restart firefox could i? | 03:34 |
| jimmy-nokernel | eva: see -R switch | 03:34 |
| secion9 | How do I load an kernel module? The x.org logs are complaining about the kernel module differing from the driver being used so my graphics are falling baclk to mesa. | 03:34 |
| locke_ | it operates independently doesnt it | 03:34 |
| Sitting_Duck | bardyr: I'm getting an error running that command; it says "Checking for C compiler default output...configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables." | 03:34 |
| NotSoGutsy | locke_ :: yes, any program that uses alsa should be restarted | 03:35 |
| qcode | PiousMinion: It'll stop working if you restart your computer again. | 03:35 |
| preaction | eva_, no. you can use "find" though | 03:35 |
| secion9 | or some steps for a noob to troubleshoot. | 03:35 |
| locke_ | k lets try | 03:35 |
| scguy318 | Sitting_Duck: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 03:35 |

| locke_ | nope still no youtube sound | 03:35 |

| * NotSoGutsy notices locke_ had firefox muted :P | 03:36 | |
| riotkittie | locke_: ctrl + h | 03:36 |
| UbuntuPwns | lucashungaro, cntrl+h | 03:36 |

| riotkittie | errrrr.. | 03:37 |
| locke_ | nah i never have it muted hehe | 03:37 |
| gluttoy | gireesh, no error, just no windows option in grub | 03:37 |
| locke_ | i'm a pretty experienced tech, i would never make that mistake | 03:37 |
| lucashungaro | UbuntuPwns: oh, thanks | 03:37 |
| riotkittie | lucashungaro: ctrl + h | 03:37 |
| riotkittie | i fail at tab completion. :< | 03:37 |
| lucashungaro | UbuntuPwns: is this "permanent" ? | 03:37 |
| skycloud | can somebody tell me how i can fix this problem? whenever i boot linux the cpu fan stops, currently i'm trying to install and it keep crashing because it overheats. | 03:37 |
| locke_ | ' | 03:37 |
| locke_ | 'its hard to overstate my satisfaction..' | 03:37 |
| gireesh | gluttoy: is it a graphical grub prompt? | 03:37 |
| eva_ | preaction: how would find accomplish this task. Right now I am looking at the man page for find | 03:37 |
| locke_ | 'for the good of all of us, except the ones that are dead' | 03:38 |
| locke_ | hah | 03:38 |
| UbuntuPwns | lucashungaro, it should be. for that user anyway | 03:38 |
| preaction | eva_, you'd need --name and --exec. the --exec predicate will end up being rather ugly | 03:38 |
| locke_ | wow, my master volume doesnt control anything now | 03:38 |
| secion9 | http://pastebin.ca/758353 | 03:38 |
| lucashungaro | UbuntuPwns: ok, thank you very much | 03:38 |
| UbuntuPwns | np | 03:38 |
| Ebiggs | skycloud: can you control the fan in the BIOS? | 03:38 |
| Rich4 | Is this the right channel for help with the boot/splash screen? | 03:38 |
| locke_ | well, if i open the volume control the master works, but if i click on it and scroll the master volume without opening it it doesnt work | 03:39 |
| secion9 | my x log http://pastebin.ca/758353 | 03:39 |
| skycloud | Ebiggs, no i don't think i can. i read on the forum i have to add something to boot/grub/menu.lst something like acpi | 03:39 |
| eva_ | preaction: oh i see. Ok I will work it out. Thanks for the help. | 03:39 |
| preaction | eva_, something like find . -name *.txt -exec'mv {} somewhere' # {} is replaced with the name of the file | 03:39 |
| Sitting_Duck | bardyr: (And anyone else) IT WORKED. Thanks so much! I was banging my head against the wall. None of the tutorials mentioned that one! | 03:39 |
| skycloud | Ebiggs, im using a emachine t2042 | 03:39 |
| jimmy-nokernel | eva: it may be easier to use the cp command first then mv after | 03:39 |
| skycloud | Ebiggs, im on the verge of crashing i think | 03:39 |
| NotSoGutsy | how can I check how much video memory my computer thinks I have ? | 03:40 |
| gluttoy | gireesh, if by graphical prompt you mean the list grey text list at boot, then yes | 03:40 |
| Sitting_Duck | <-- Another satisfied ubuntu IRCer | 03:40 |
| sfdawdf | how many CPUs can one instance of Ubuntu handle.... for a server | 03:40 |
| Ebiggs | skycloud: Sorry, thats over my head. | 03:40 |
| gireesh | gluttoy: hit e to change a particular line. you need these entries to boot windows | 03:40 |
| skycloud | can sombody tell me how to make a boot option acpi=opff | 03:41 |
| gireesh | gluttoy: (hdx,y) | 03:41 |
| skycloud | acpi=off* | 03:41 |
| gireesh | gluttoy: chainloader +1 | 03:41 |
| gireesh | you need to find out values of x and y | 03:41 |
| Guerra | okay | 03:41 |
| eva_ | jimmy-nokernel: so cp allows you the user to copy all files *txt in multiple directories into one directory. Or am I just coping all those files just in case I mess up? | 03:41 |
| Ebiggs | skycloud: In the grub menu, can you hit e and add that line before you boot? | 03:41 |
| secion9 | why does mesa keep loading? http://pastebin.ca/758353 | 03:41 |
| Guerra | how do I change my display resolution in console? | 03:42 |
| gluttoy | gireesh, x being the drive number and y being the partition? which line do i add the commands? | 03:42 |
| Guerra | I can't get into GUI because I haven't set a default resolution | 03:42 |
| skycloud | Ebiggs, im booting from the livecd | 03:42 |
| Guerra | anyone? | 03:42 |
| preaction | eva_, cp -R *.txt will not do what you expect, since the * is expanded by bash and not by cp. | 03:42 |
| gireesh | gluttoy: yes. you need those two in two separate lines | 03:42 |
| locke_ | what is ctrl+h in relation to? | 03:42 |
| gireesh | hit e at each line for the ubuntu loader | 03:42 |
| Guerra | Anyone? How can I change the resolution? | 03:42 |
| Ebiggs | skycloud: Oh, in that case can you hit F6 (other options) at the livecd menu and add it? | 03:43 |
| gireesh | delete everything and type the command | 03:43 |
| UbuntuPwns | locke_, shows hidden folders/files | 03:43 |
| gireesh | dont worry this is only temporary | 03:43 |
| malduin | Guerra, one sec | 03:43 |
| Guerra | Thanks malduin | 03:43 |
| eva_ | preaction: i see. I will work on the commands you suggested then. I am confident I can get that to work | 03:43 |
| locke_ | oh, in nautilus? | 03:43 |
| skycloud | Ebiggs, oh ok cool thanks | 03:43 |
| skycloud | Ebiggs, i'm going to try that | 03:43 |
| UbuntuPwns | locke_, various programs | 03:43 |
| jimmy-nokernel | preaction is right | 03:43 |
| locke_ | hidden folders and files dont ever impede me | 03:43 |
| Ebiggs | skycloud: No guarantees, but its worth a shot. I'm learning things as I go around here. | 03:44 |
| riotkittie | locke_: yea, i meant to direct that to someone else but i didnt verify i had the right nick with tab completion :o | 03:44 |
| malduin | Guerra, run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to rebuild your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file from cli console. | 03:44 |
| locke_ | haha happens | 03:44 |
| locke_ | happens to me all the time | 03:44 |
| skycloud | Ebiggs, alright be back soon hopefully | 03:44 |
| locke_ | tab completion should have been in windows 95 if they were on the ball | 03:44 |
| * riotkittie suffers from prematuretabulation :( | 03:44 | |
| NotSoGutsy | how can I check how much video memory Gutsy thinks I have ? | 03:44 |
| locke_ | NotSoGutsy, only thing i know of it is to see what X thinks in xorg.conf | 03:44 |
| Guerra | how do I run it malduin? | 03:44 |
| malduin | from a root prompt | 03:45 |
| locke_ | otherwise | 03:45 |
| Nighthawk420 | anyone wana help me install the 3d windows and screensaver plugins? | 03:45 |
| locke_ | probably hardware info in prefs | 03:45 |
| secion9 | how do I change the kernel module loaded for ati 8.42 driver | 03:45 |
| PiousMinion | Can ubuntu be installed without X ? | 03:45 |
| NotSoGutsy | locke_ :: I don't see any details on actual size though | 03:45 |
| locke_ | meh nevermind | 03:45 |
| locke_ | it dosent have the info | 03:45 |
| locke_ | i just checked mine | 03:46 |
| secion9 | PiousMinion: I believe you want the server version | 03:46 |
| Bax | what the package name for the c compiler in the synaptic manager? | 03:46 |
| Guerra | Look, I'm a complete linux noob and don't know even the most simplest commands in the prompt. | 03:46 |
| PiousMinion | secion9: not the alternate? | 03:46 |
| rockets | How can I take a file, and copy it to a directory, and ALL its subdirectories | 03:46 |
| NotSoGutsy | Bax :: try `build-essential' | 03:46 |
| krammer | hi | 03:46 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: whats your question | 03:47 |
| gluttoy | gireesh, on the root line? | 03:47 |
| jrib | rockets: you want to take a single file and copy it to multiple places? | 03:47 |
| secion9 | PiousMinion: Not sure about alternate. I just know the server runs from CLI | 03:47 |
| locke_ | Guerra, well its a good thing you're not in #slackware then | 03:47 |
| rockets | jrib, i want to copy it to /foo, and every single subdirectory within /foo, and i need to do it from the command line | 03:47 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: basically just run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:47 |
| jrib | rockets: why? | 03:47 |
| riotkittie | err. stupid question time. if cat /proc/cpuinfo reports that i have 2 cpus, is it safe to assume that i uhm, have 2 cpus? <hides> | 03:47 |
| rockets | jrib, i need 402 index.htmls to do some apache benchmarking | 03:47 |
| Guerra | I need to change the resolution to 1024x768 | 03:48 |
| Guerra | simple as that. | 03:48 |
| Guerra | in the prompt. | 03:48 |
| PiousMinion | secion9: Well, I know the alternate is CLI, but just wanted to make sure not installing X, among other things, was an option. | 03:48 |
| jrib | rockets: use find with -exec | 03:48 |
| locke_ | riotkittie, do you actually have 2 cpus? | 03:48 |
| locke_ | heh | 03:48 |
| Bax | NotSoGutsy: I have the build-essential package, but I still keep getting the error "checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs." | 03:48 |
| Ebiggs | riotkittie: It would appear to show 2 CPUs if you have a dual-core or probably a hyperthreaded Pentium 4. | 03:49 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: whats your monitor? pastebin the contents of the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and I'll edit it for you | 03:49 |
| riotkittie | locke_: no | 03:49 |
| troseph | Anyone know how to run assult cube in windowed mode? I have twinview, and it really borks the game. | 03:49 |
| riotkittie | Ebiggs: ahh. :> thanks. | 03:49 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: do gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and pastebin contents | 03:49 |
| scguy318 | !pastebin | Guerra | 03:49 |
| ubotu | Guerra: 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) | 03:49 |
| gireesh | gluttoy: yes | 03:49 |
| malduin | Guerra, right, that can be done by manually hacking the X config file xorg.conf or by running the string we pasted which will give you a gui to rebuild the file for you with resolution info. | 03:49 |
| locke_ | riotkittie, dual core or something? | 03:49 |
| navets | is there a way to reupgade to gutsy | 03:49 |
| gireesh | remove everything on the root line and enter (hdx,y) | 03:50 |
| Nalidixic | anyone got time to look at a source file for a gnome app tutorial i'm working on. i got the code copied perfectly but its not compiling. here is the source http://rafb.net/p/n1v9pV19.html The problem seems to be in my function at the bottom. the compiler complains http://rafb.net/p/T8F98035.html thanks for any help you can give | 03:50 |
| gireesh | rather root (hdx,y) | 03:50 |
| Ebiggs | navets: what's the problem? | 03:50 |
| locke_ | that whole dual core thing strikes me as a marketing ploy.. | 03:50 |
| riotkittie | hyperthreaded P4. | 03:50 |
| === locke_ is now known as |_ocke | ||
| gluttoy | gireesh, i did then booted and it said the partition could not be mounted | 03:50 |
| secion9 | Guerra: Guerra: run "xf86config" , I think | 03:50 |
| troseph | lol @ locke_ | 03:50 |
| navets | Ebiggs: no sound, i tried to reinstall alsa drivers to fix the sound, no i have no sound at all and no mixer | 03:50 |
| gireesh | gluttoy: did you also have chainloader +1 in the next line? | 03:50 |
| Ebiggs | what about dual-cores being a marketing ploy? Core 2 duos own. =P | 03:50 |
| krammer | NALIDIXIC which compiler are you using? | 03:50 |
| scguy318 | secion9: Ubuntu doesn't come with XFree86 if I'm not mistaken | 03:50 |
| Guerra | Let's see if this works. I did something else. | 03:50 |
| * |_ocke registered this nick and cant identify cause apparently i didnt set my normal passwords | 03:50 | |
| troseph | My X2 OWNS | 03:50 |
| gireesh | there should be only two lines | 03:51 |
| gluttoy | gireesh, the kernel line? | 03:51 |
| navets | Ebiggs: i have tried a lot to fix it, and i am pretty sure its a problem with my kernel | 03:51 |
| |_ocke | Ebiggs, well i dont have one so its a marketing ploy | 03:51 |
| gireesh | root (hdx,y) | 03:51 |
| Guerra | Works. | 03:51 |
| gireesh | chainloader +1 | 03:51 |
| Nalidixic | krammer: what ever the premade makefile from glade uses. i built the gui in glade and just coded the back end in | 03:51 |
| secion9 | Ok, nevermind. | 03:51 |
| |_ocke | scguy318, ubuntu uses Xorg | 03:51 |
| secion9 | Sorry | 03:51 |
| krammer | did u rebulild for source? | 03:51 |
| Ebiggs | navets: Oh, not really familiar with fixing any of that. Just got my own audio working after fiddling with alsamixer (which I don't think contributed) and a reboot. | 03:51 |
| Guerra | scguy318, Thanks. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg did the trick | 03:51 |
| malduin | cool | 03:52 |
| Nalidixic | krammer you mean glade? | 03:52 |
| bastid_raZor | if i left click on network manager in the toolbar shouldn't i get the option to select wirless if i have a wireless card or usb device attached? | 03:52 |
| krammer | yes | 03:52 |
| gluttoy | gireesh, so in the root line, type 'root (hdx,y) chainloader +1'? | 03:52 |
| Nalidixic | no. i just used apt-get | 03:52 |
| Guerra | Sweet. I now have my computer triple booting! XP for DX9 games, Vista for DX10 games, and Ubuntu for real stuff. | 03:52 |

| NotSoGutsy | as far as I can see, everything shows as having the right amount of video memory, why do I keep running out ? | 03:54 |
| jrib | Nalidixic: check your #define line... sure you need that ';'? | 03:55 |
| === james__ is now known as abstract | ||

| Nalidixic | jrib: your right. thanks alot for the help :P | 03:55 |
| Pancakes | Could someone help me install XChat? I've never installed anything while in Ubuntu before | 03:56 |
| DisabledDuck | i'm running Ubuntu 64-bit and for some reason i can't get my java apps to work anymore | 03:56 |
| Ebiggs | skycloud: You may have to add that line to grub later, I don't know if it will automatically do that once it installs. | 03:56 |
| rockets | jrib, what about "find /home/users -name '*' | 03:56 |
| gluttoy | ok, i need help with grub because the guy who was helping left. my windows partition does not show up in grub | 03:56 |
| skycloud | Ebiggs, yeah i know. i just have to do this command once i've installed. sudo gedit boot/grub/menu.lst | 03:57 |
| jrib | rockets: that would print out something, maybe an error | 03:57 |
| rockets | jrib, nope it works | 03:57 |
| skycloud | Ebiggs, but for now i can install without worrying anymore =) | 03:57 |
| mohadib_ | HEYE | 03:57 |
| secion9 | Pancakes: sudo apt-get install Xchat | 03:57 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: np | 03:57 |
| Guerra | There is nothing better than when your computer works. | 03:57 |
| Guerra | Mmm | 03:57 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: Open the synaptic package manager located under system>administration | 03:57 |
| Guerra | triple booting perfect | 03:57 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: Or you can do what secion said. | 03:58 |
| Pancakes | E: Couldn't find package Xchat | 03:58 |
| Pancakes | It said "E: Couldn't find package Xchat" | 03:58 |
| Ebiggs | Guerra: Likewise, Guerra. | 03:58 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: Try what I said. | 03:58 |
| DisabledDuck | for some reason everytime i open Azureus it closes about 2 seconds later, does anybody know how to fix this? | 03:58 |
| jrib | rockets: still, it did print out something :) To copy FILE to all subdirectories of DIR, idea is (untested): find DIR -type d -exec cp FILE '{}' \; | 03:58 |
| Ebiggs | DisabledDuck: You said your java wasn't working, right? Isn't Azureus Java based? | 03:59 |
| Covachero | en español | 03:59 |

| ubotu | Covachero: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. | 03:59 |
| Pancakes | Ebiggs, then what? | 03:59 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: Click in that right frame, then begin typing Xchat. | 03:59 |
| DisabledDuck | Ebiggs, well, it opens... which makes me think that it might not be java, so i decided to be more specific, if the answer i gets works, then it's not my java | 03:59 |
| Covachero | hola buenas noches, solicito ayuda por favor | 04:00 |
| jrib | Covachero: /join #ubuntu-es | 04:00 |
| Covachero | como se instala el driver de las placas ati para ubuntu | 04:00 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: When you see it, check the box next to it and then click apply at the top. | 04:00 |
| Covachero | muchas gracias | 04:00 |
| Pancakes | Ebiggs, I see "xchat-common" | 04:00 |
| rockets | jrib, i have an idea, ill give that a shot if it doesnt work | 04:00 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: xchat is right above it. | 04:00 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: Unless you don't have all of your sources enabled. | 04:01 |
| secion9 | Anyone got the 8.42 ati driver working on radeon xpress 200 | 04:01 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: I would assume that you wouldn't see -common without xchat though... | 04:01 |
| Pancakes | Ebiggs, I'm only able to check mark it for removal | 04:01 |
| Guerra | I need a penguin sticker now. | 04:02 |
| Pancakes | And all I see is "xchat-common" | 04:02 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: Well, try going to System>Administration>Software Sources, then. | 04:02 |
| RandomUsr | Pancakes? do you have the Ubuntu specific X-Chat? | 04:02 |
| riotkittie | sorta offtopic but relevant > I have a tendency to install distros and replace them willynilly. My two GRUB menus are best described as total nightmares. I can ususally get around this by mounting a partition and just poking around to discover what is what as I rarely feel like booting into them.

| Guerra | Hey, what driver should I download for the 32 bit version of ubuntu, I've got a 2900xt | 04:04 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: Check 'em! | 04:04 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: Then hit close and return to the Synaptic Package Manager. | 04:04 |
| scguy318 | Gueera: ATI? | 04:05 |
| Guerra | Yeah | 04:05 |
| usrl | I just installed 7.10, and I can't find the window manager setter upper thing >< And I have some settings I need to change. What is it labeled now? | 04:05 |
| Guerra | ATI radeon 2900xt | 04:05 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: does the Restricted Driver Manager do it for you? | 04:05 |
| Guerra | well, I just used that driver | 04:05 |
| Pancakes | Then what? | 04:05 |
| Guerra | and now I can't boot into the GUI | 04:05 |

| Srandom | can anyone suggest a way to recover data from a disk? | 04:06 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: Back in Synaptic, click reload and then look for xchat again. | 04:06 |
| syc_ | gtk-gnutella | 04:06 |
| riotkittie | SpeakerMania: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst ; change the timeout. you will need to do it with sudo or gksudo | 04:07 |
| Srandom | I accidentally deleted a partition | 04:07 |
| Guerra | okay, in recovery mode prompt. | 04:07 |
| Guerra | what do I do? | 04:07 |

| abstract | When loading AWN, how do you make the icons bounce around? | 04:07 |
| Jordan_U | The desktop cube plugin is not working for me, the key combinations simply don't do anything | 04:07 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: if you really really want the GUI access back right this instance | 04:07 |
| syc_ | srandom, try testdisk | 04:07 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: then you can just do (gimme a moment) | 04:07 |
| Guerra | okie | 04:08 |
| usrl | I just installed 7.10, and I can't find the window manager setter upper thing >< And I have some settings I need to change. What is the gnome settings thing labeled? | 04:08 |
| Pancakes | Ok, I see Xchat now | 04:08 |
| Ebiggs | Alright, check it for installation and hit apply. | 04:08 |
| jrib | Srandom: mbr backup would be great, but you can try programs like testdisk otherwise | 04:08 |
| noolness | Jordan_U: make sure you only have columns of desktops and no rows | 04:08 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: If it asks to install other stuff with it click ok/yes | 04:08 |
| Srandom | jrib: testdisk? | 04:09 |
| stoop1d | so when I use `lspci -v' I see that my 128MB video card is listed as having 256MB; this might explain why I keep running out of video memory | 04:09 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: hmm, maybe sudo apt-get remove linux-restricted-modules-generic? | 04:09 |
| Ebiggs | stoop1d: Its probably using system memory as well | 04:09 |
| scguy318 | !info linux-restricted-modules-generic | 04:09 |
| ubotu | linux-restricted-modules-generic: Restricted Linux modules for generic kernels. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.22.14.21 (gutsy), package size 24 kB, installed size 52 kB | 04:09 |
| SpeakerMania | riotkittie, If I change the timeout to 0 seconds will it automatically hop over that whole thing? | 04:09 |
| Guerra | I have no idea, scguy318. I'm not a Linux guy. | 04:10 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: that I think should remove the restricted kernel stuff | 04:10 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: yeah do that | 04:10 |
| Guerra | type what? | 04:10 |
| spideyman | you guys gotta check this out how do i show you a screen shot | 04:10 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: sudo apt-get remove linux-restricted-modules-generic | 04:10 |

| noodles12 | is there any linux alternative to MS excel that does trendlines? | 04:10 |
| stoop1d | doesn't mean much to me, really | 04:10 |
| spideyman | pushing feisty to the limits | 04:10 |
| jrib | Srandom: it is packaged in the repos, there is some documentation you should read on the home page as well (google) | 04:10 |
| Guerra | E: couldn't find package linux-restricted | 04:10 |
| Ebiggs | stoop1d: what is your video card? | 04:10 |
| secion9 | where do i find the kernel config file? | 04:10 |
| Guerra | scguy318, no go. | 04:11 |
| stoop1d | it's a PNY 6600GT, 128MB | 04:11 |
| SpeakerMania | noodles12: Applications: Office: OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet | 04:11 |
| Srandom | jrib: k | 04:11 |
| Pancakes | THanks Ebiggs, I'm running XChat right now | 04:11 |
| stoop1d | Ebiggs :: it shows correctly in xorg.conf though | 04:11 |
| darren | how do I access the Nvidia driver gui configuration? Its sudo nvidia-settings!!!! | 04:11 |
| noodles12 | SpeakerMania: that doesn't do the trendlines i need for school. or i can't seem to find it. | 04:11 |
| Ebiggs | stoop1d: Do you know if it has a turbomemory feature or something to grab system memory too? You can maybe disable that in your BIOS. | 04:11 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: sudo apt-get remove linux-restricted-modules-generic | 04:11 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: that whole thing I believe | 04:11 |
| stoop1d | Ebiggs :: when I looked in the bios, it was listed as 128MB there as well | 04:12 |
| Ebiggs | Pancakes: Another satisfied customer. =P | 04:12 |
| skagen | im using an old pc. what do you suggest to use? ubuntu or xubuntu? | 04:12 |
| Guerra | scguy318, its doing something | 04:12 |
| Guerra | okay | 04:12 |
| secion9 | Where do I find the kernel config file? | 04:12 |
| Guerra | lets reboot and see | 04:12 |
| Ebiggs | stoop1d: Maybe have a look at the sudo nvidia-settings command darren just mentioned. | 04:12 |
| skagen | im using an old pc. what do you suggest to use? ubuntu or xubuntu? | 04:13 |
| usrl | Can someone please just tell me where the gnome settings stuff is? I've tried google. it doesn't help =/ | 04:13 |
| usrl | skagen: how old? | 04:13 |
| darren | stoop1d: sudo nvidia-settings | 04:13 |
| Ebiggs | stoop1d: Are you using the restricted driver? | 04:13 |
| stoop1d | yes | 04:13 |
| skagen | its a fujitsu fmv 6000CL .. pentium 3 1ghz with 256ram | 04:13 |
| SpeakerMania | noodles12: Once in OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet, press F1 and type in "trend lines in charts" | 04:14 |
| Guerra | Would be nice if everything was GUI. I hates the command prompt :( | 04:14 |
| usrl | skagen: that's about baseline for Ubuntu. It's up to you. Ubuntu will be a little slower, but it should still be usable | 04:14 |
| Guerra | scguy318, unfortunately, I'm still getting the black screen on boot. | 04:14 |
| skagen | im currently using ubuntu. but the screen resolution is at 800x600.. cant seem to change it to 1064 | 04:14 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Guerra: EMBRACE the command prompt! | 04:14 |
| Ward1983 | how can i use a on screen display to login please? | 04:14 |
| boontoo | what does this instruction mean | 04:14 |
| boontoo | 1. you need the source of your current running kernel. | 04:14 |
| boontoo | /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build/include needs to point at it. | 04:14 |
| usrl | Guerra: I'm pretty sure they've made GUIs for most things, it's just that the command prompt is easier to give support on and is just all around quicker | 04:14 |
| Guerra | egh. | 04:15 |
| usrl | Guerra: spend a little time getting to know the command prompt, I didn't like it very much at first either, but I LOVE it now. | 04:15 |
| skagen | if i use xubuntu its faster? | 04:15 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic | 04:15 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: then, mm | 04:15 |
| Ebiggs | skagen: I installed Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu on one machine and I really hated the Xfce environment. Try the liveCDs before you decide to install. I run Ubuntu on a 1.2Ghz Compaq alright. | 04:15 |
| usrl | skagen: probably, yes. Xubuntu uses less powerful window manager, so it should run quicker | 04:15 |
| stoop1d | well Ebiggs/darren, I don't see any options [or details, even] in the nvidia-settings that affect the total memory used, other than the actual mapped memory values | 04:15 |
| navets | is there a way to downgrade or fix my sound with an intel hda sound card? | 04:15 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: i really would love to see that log to figure out what's the deal | 04:16 |
| bulmer | boontoo-> what are you compiling? | 04:16 |
| Guerra | sigh, just when I get one thing working, another thing breaks. | 04:16 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: you can rerun sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select vesa this time around | 04:16 |
| boontoo | bulmer: CDemu | 04:16 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and good to go | 04:16 |
| Guerra | ok | 04:16 |
| skagen | any ideas how i can change it to 1064x764? | 04:16 |
| skagen | screen is too big.. lol | 04:17 |
| bulmer | boontoo-> so do you have the kernel source compatible with your current one? | 04:17 |
| alphonse | sup | 04:17 |
| k0001 | which library provides simple xml serialization for python? (like simplejson, but for xml) | 04:17 |
| stoop1d | Ebiggs :: I should also note that nvidia-settings shows the correct size for the card | 04:17 |
| navets | bulmer: is there a way to recomple your kernel? | 04:17 |
| Ebiggs | stoop1d: Do you have a different video card you could throw in to maybe clear those settings and then put the 6600 back? | 04:17 |
| stoop1d | can I disable using virtual memory for video memory ? | 04:17 |
| boontoo | bulmer: no idea | 04:17 |
| stoop1d | Ebiggs :: not really :( | 04:17 |
| Zombie | Will Ubuntu ever support DKMS? | 04:18 |

| caner | i am trying to run vmware-server but it crashes before the gui comes. how can i detect what is happening? (logs or smthng like that??) | 04:18 |
| noodles12 | SpeakerMania: sweet! that's new in 2.3 i think, because i've never seen taht before. awesome. is there a way to show the (y=mx + b) formula with the linear trendline? | 04:18 |
| UbuntuPwns | Zombie, are you from wyldryde? | 04:18 |
| Ebiggs | stoop1d: Virtual memory is hard drive space that will get used as the RAM is filled up (exactly like a swap partition), some lower end video cards will tap into the RAM. | 04:19 |
| Zombie | I've been there before. | 04:19 |
| Zombie | Yes. | 04:19 |
| * UbuntuPwns is LinuxFan :D | 04:19 | |
| junkbox | thanks zombie | 04:19 |
| navets | bulmer: do you know how? | 04:19 |
| Zombie | Hey! | 04:19 |
| UbuntuPwns | :D | 04:19 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: success? | 04:19 |
| Zombie | Whats up? | 04:19 |
| stoop1d | Ebiggs :: I never had the issue in any of the previous releases though, and I've used the same card since Dapper came out | 04:19 |
| bulmer | navets yes, there are tutorials you can find via google | 04:19 |
| SpeakerMania | noodles12: I'm not the guy to be asking about that. Try and see if someone else can help or post on the Ubuntu or the OpenOffice forums. I don't do much work in Spreadsheets. | 04:19 |
| UbuntuPwns | not too much , just learning more and more from this channel , can never learn enough it seems :) | 04:19 |
| Jordan_U | On an install which was upgraded from a non LTS to an LTS version, will update manager suggest installation of a non LTS version? | 04:20 |
| stoop1d | can I tell it somehow to never use any virtual memory for video memory ? | 04:20 |
| stoop1d | because it seems to be breaking everything | 04:20 |
| boontoo | bulmer: all i know is i get a lot of erros when i try to make | 04:20 |
| bulmer | boontoo-> did you follow the README file included on that source package? | 04:21 |
| Ebiggs | stoop1d: Well, I don't really know what else to suggest. Perhaps put up a thread on the forum. | 04:21 |
| boontoo | bulmer: yeh ill pastebin it for you | 04:21 |

| Ahmuck | hi | 04:21 |
| Ebiggs | Jordan_U: He is running out of video memory. Ubuntu sees 256MB of vRAM when his card only has 128MB. | 04:21 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: excellent | 04:21 |
| Jordan_U | boontoo, What are you trying to compile? | 04:22 |
| stoop1d | Jordan_U :: well, periodically any maximized windows show as black, I can't play any videos fullscreen, nor any games, compiz runs really slowly, etc | 04:22 |
| SpeakerMania | How can I make Ubuntu boot faster? Watch my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGzDkbOUOyA | 04:22 |
| Ahmuck | i've loaded ubuntu server and have dropped to a shell before reboot | 04:22 |
| boontoo | Jordan_U: "make" without the quotes | 04:22 |
| scguy318 | Ahmuck: Ubuntu Server has no GUI | 04:22 |
| Ahmuck | i need to replace the stock kernel with either i686 or vm | 04:22 |
| Ebiggs | Jordan_U: But other applications will show the correct, 128MB | 04:22 |
| Jordan_U | stoop1d, Nvidia? | 04:22 |
| stoop1d | yeh | 04:22 |
| scguy318 | Ahmuck: sudo apt-get install linux-image-something | 04:22 |
| Jacob | Hello. I'm sorry, but I've encountered a rather large problem....Nothing will open when I doube click on it and I don't know why | 04:22 |
| Guerra | lemme reboot and see if teh changes stick, scguy318. | 04:22 |
| Ahmuck | obvioulsy the server has no apt-get | 04:22 |
| stoop1d | Jordan_U :: using the nvidia-glx-new drivers | 04:22 |
| Ahmuck | so, how do i install a new kernel? | 04:22 |
| Jordan_U | boontoo, make is a command used to compile applications, what application are you trying to compile | 04:23 |
| Ahmuck | mount the cdrom? | 04:23 |
| scguy318 | Ahmuck: sudo apt-get install linux-image-... | 04:23 |
| Jacob | It just barely started, but when I double click on a picture it'll lose it's icon, if I doube click on an mp3 it'll lose it's icon...They both just turn into sheets of paper | 04:23 |

| gluttoy | my windows partition does not show up in grub | 04:24 |

| scguy318 | Ahmuck: you are root? | 04:24 |
| Guerra | Okay, so how should I get the ATI radeon x86 driver (2900xt) | 04:24 |
| qazwsx | I just got a new font; how do I get gnome-temrinal to use it? | 04:24 |
| scguy318 | Ahmuck: in that case dont need sudo at all | 04:24 |
| Ebiggs | Jacob: Have you unplugged/replugged it in? | 04:24 |
| stoop1d | Jordan_U :: I was able to force videos to circumvent Compiz entirely, they play fine for the most part, except mplayer runs out of memory rather shortly | 04:24 |
| Ahmuck | qazwsx yes | 04:25 |
| Jacob | Ebiggs: No, I haven't. I'll do that now, but why would that help? | 04:25 |
| qazwsx | Ahmuck: ? | 04:25 |
| Guerra | I've heard there is an open source driver for it, and a regular driver. Which should I get? | 04:25 |
| stoop1d | I get an error like this: `X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)' | 04:25 |
| Ahmuck | scguy318: yes, i know | 04:25 |
| Ahmuck | qazwsx ? | 04:25 |
| Jordan_U | boontoo, Do you have the kernel sources installed? | 04:25 |
| Ahmuck | qazwsx sorry, misread | 04:26 |
| Ahmuck | scguy318: so, what would u suggest? | 04:26 |
| Ebiggs | Jacob: I guess just kind of power-cycling the mouse. It probably needs a reboot. That doesn't sound like something that would keep you from booting again. | 04:26 |
| qazwsx | I just got a new font; how do I get gnome-temrinal to use it? | 04:26 |
| caner | i am trying to run vmware-server but it crashes before the gui comes. how can i detect what is happening? (logs or smthng like that??) | 04:26 |
| Frogzoo | qazwsx: either sys->prefs->fonts or google '.Xresources' | 04:26 |
| Ahmuck | qazwsx: is it a ttf font? | 04:26 |
| qazwsx | it's a ttf font | 04:27 |
| Ebiggs | Jacob: Did we lose you? | 04:27 |
| qazwsx | Frogzoo: what prog does sys->pres->fonts run? I'm using a non-standard wm | 04:27 |
| Ahmuck | qazwsx: follow Frogzoo instructions | 04:27 |
| Jacob | Ebiggs: I'm not sure if I described the problem. The mouse works fine: It's just that nothing at all will open. When I look at properties, everything has become "type: unknown". I can still open actual programs (through the terminal or the applications menu), but not by double clicking | 04:27 |
| wolfjb | my synaptics touchpad used to scroll horizontally in fiesty, I haven't changed the config, but it won't scroll horizontally in gutsy. I've tried configuring it with gsynaptics and have the 'Enable Horizontal Scrolling' selection checked, but still no joy. Any pointers on how I can get this nice feature working? | 04:27 |
| qazwsx | Ahmuck: what prog does sys->pres->fonts run? | 04:27 |
| Jacob | Ebiggs: Hmm. When I open folders, it tells me that it can't display the contents of anything | 04:27 |
| Jordan_U | wolfjb, Two fingered scrolling or a scroll area on the side of the touchpad? | 04:28 |
| JDiver | Anyone have time to help deal with a hibernation / suspend problem? | 04:28 |
| nj786 | wha does "make sure the universal repository is enabled" mean? | 04:28 |
| Ahmuck | qazwsx: *shrug* i use kubuntu ... | 04:28 |
| Frogzoo | qazwsx: fonts go in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ | 04:28 |
| wolfjb | Jordan_U, scrolling by dragging a single finger on the bottom of the touchpad. dragging vertically on the side of the touch pad works perfectly | 04:28 |
| qazwsx | Frogzoo: I copied it there, in the FreeFonts directoy in partiuclar, but it's not being updated | 04:28 |
| boontoo | Jordan_U: sorry crashed, i dont know anything about compiling | 04:28 |
| swmiller6 | qazwsx: ~/.fonts | 04:29 |
| qazwsx | Frogzoo: is there some prog I need to run to have X relook at that dir again? | 04:29 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: the open-source radeon/ati/w/e comes with Ubuntu | 04:29 |
| Ebiggs | Jacob: That's odd. If you have another system, email that document to yourself and try a reboot. | 04:29 |
| wolfjb | Jordan_U, I haven't config'd 2 finger scrolling | 04:29 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: to use it you just select it in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:29 |
| Frogzoo | qazwsx: there is, something about cache - 1/2 a sec | 04:29 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: the fglrx restricted you get from REstricted Driver Manager or ATI | 04:29 |
| Kalumba | Just a quick question: Is the Intel 4965 driver in Ubuntu's repository so it is easy to install? | 04:29 |
| Guerra | scguy318, what do you recommend? | 04:29 |
| Jordan_U | boontoo, Why exactly do you want cdemu, did you know that you can mount iso's without any extra software? | 04:30 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: what reason do you have for restricted? | 04:30 |
| nrp | Kalumba, it works in the default install. no additional stuff necessary | 04:30 |
| Jacob | Ebiggs: It isn't rebooting. | 04:30 |
| boontoo | Jordan_U: yeh unfortunatly i need to mount .mds or mdf files | 04:30 |
| Guerra | Well, would be nice to play some games on this | 04:30 |
| swmiller6 | qazwsx: add fonts to your user profile by creating a .fonts folder in your home directory then placing fonts you download into there. | 04:30 |
| Jordan_U | boontoo, You can convert .mdf to .iso | 04:30 |
| Guerra | DX9 games in wine, some opengl games | 04:30 |
| Kalumba | nrp, apparently not for me with the live CD of gutsy | 04:30 |
| qazwsx | Ahmuck: can I access the font prog from the gnome-control-center ? | 04:30 |
| qazwsx | swmiller6: will try that | 04:30 |
| boontoo | Jordan_U: how? | 04:30 |
| boontoo | even when its only about 20 kb? | 04:30 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: mm, if you already have DRI enabled, you dont need restricted | 04:31 |
| nrp | Kalumba, the final release of Gutsy? | 04:31 |
| Jacob | Ebiggs: Should I press the power button on my computer? :\ I've heard that it is best to let the OS handle that sort of thing, but Ubuntu is just sitting there | 04:31 |
| Kalumba | 7.10 | 04:31 |
| Frogzoo | qazwsx: sudo fc-cache | 04:31 |
| Jordan_U | !info mdf2iso | boontoo | 04:31 |
| ubotu | boontoo: mdf2iso: A simple utility to convert mdf to iso / cue / toc images. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.0-1 (gutsy), package size 7 kB, installed size 64 kB | 04:31 |
| Kalumba | nrp, the driver is not listed in the Restricted Drivers Manager | 04:31 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: but, you'll have to switch back to the original module that you had the first time you ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:31 |
| Ebiggs | Jacob: Did the menu for shut down/restart, etc show up? | 04:31 |
| qazwsx | swmiller6: addexd i there, it's not showing up | 04:31 |
| boontoo | cool | 04:31 |
| boontoo | thanks | 04:31 |
| Ahmuck | qazwsx: dpm | 04:31 |
| nrp | Kalumba, well, yes, but are you sure it isnt a Beta or Release Candidate CD? | 04:31 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: there should be backup xorg.conf files in /etc/X11 | 04:31 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: pastebin them if you wish | 04:31 |
| Jacob | Ebiggs: No, it didn't. I click on the icon but nothing happens | 04:31 |
| swmiller6 | qazwsx: resart x | 04:31 |
| james296 | can anyone help me get totem-xine to work properly instead of using totem-gstreamer for playing DVDs? I mean I already got the Medibuntu package and installed libdvdcss plugins but I still cant play DVDs | 04:31 |
| Jordan_U | boontoo, "mdf2iso /path/to/mdf /path/to/new/iso" | 04:31 |
| nrp | Kalumba, its not a Restricted Driver. It's a kernal module | 04:31 |
| james296 | used to work right away on Fiesty | 04:31 |
| Ebiggs | Jacob: Hit alt+ctrl+del to bring it up | 04:32 |
| boontoo | Jordan_U: thanks a bunch | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | boontoo, np | 04:32 |
| Nik | i'm trying to install 6.10 edgy but when i boot off the cd and select the install option i end up at a dos-like screenthat says BusyBox v1.1.3 and on next line (initramfs) anyone have any ideas? | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | james296, Why not use gxine or VLC for DVDs? | 04:32 |
| Kalumba | nrp, a bit odd as the previous one, 3945, showed up as a restricted driver | 04:32 |
| Jacob | Ebiggs: Alright, it comes up that way. I'm going to try rebooting now...Will I be able to use a Live CD or something to come back in case something bad happens? | 04:32 |
| Frogzoo | Nik: is edgy necessary? | 04:32 |
| Ebiggs | Yeah, you should. | 04:33 |
| james296 | cuz I feel like using something that should just work that came with Ubuntu | 04:33 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Nik, had that same problem with a different distro in VMware. Perplexes me to this day. | 04:33 |
| Jacob | Alright. Be right back, hopefully | 04:33 |
| nrp | Kalumba, perhaps that was before Intel went open source. all of their wifi drivers are open source and included in gutsy | 04:33 |
| wolfjb | Do I need to have a buttons line my xorg.conf to enable horizontal scrolling? ie Option Buttons 7 ? | 04:33 |
| === greg is now known as gbp | ||
| Jordan_U | wolfjb, Have you already looked at the synaptics page @ wiki.ubuntu.com ? | 04:34 |
| Kalumba | nrp, well in that case I need to check the version of gutsy, but I am pretty sure it is 7.10 final | 04:34 |
| wolfjb | Jordan_U, yes, and I've tried the settings mentioned there (that is how I configured it in fiesty succesfully) I haven't found a gutsy update there yet | 04:34 |
| Nik | whoops, i meant 7.10.. so, no, not edgy - and no, definitely necessary. i want the latest stable version. | 04:35 |
| nrp | Kalumba, and it doesn't recognise the card at all? | 04:35 |
| Nik | it won't let me install because of this initramfs prompt | 04:35 |
| Kalumba | nrp, hang on | 04:35 |
| Nik | c0mp, what distro was that? | 04:35 |
| boontoo | !intel | 04:36 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:36 |
| Guerra | Okay, and again the driver plunges me into the dark screen. | 04:36 |
| Guerra | Bleh. | 04:36 |
| Jordan_U | wolfjb, It works "out of the box" for me, possibly try reconfiguring X to defaults with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" ? | 04:36 |
| Jacob | Ebiggs: Hello again. Rebooting seems to have solved whatever the issue was, so I guess nothing too bad happened :) Thanks for your help, though :) | 04:36 |
| james296 | for some reason gxine wont play the dvd | 04:36 |
| wolfjb | Jordan_U, ok, I'll give it a shot. thanks | 04:36 |
| Ebiggs | Jacob: Always glad to help. I didn't think it sounded serious. | 04:36 |
| Guerra | next time, I'm gonna wait a few months to download the new distro | 04:37 |
| Jordan_U | james296, Will VLC? It sounds like a xine or libdvdcss problem. | 04:37 |
| Guerra | WHy can't I enable visual effects? | 04:37 |
| Guerra | weird | 04:37 |
| james296 | I dont want to install VLC I dislike its interface | 04:37 |
| Kalumba | nrp, ifconfig shows a wlan0. Could that be it? | 04:38 |
| skagen | how do i access shared documents in a winxp pc? | 04:38 |
| intelikey | what kind of error message is this apt-get remove blah | 04:38 |
| intelikey | Bus error | 04:38 |
| james296 | nvm though, I got it fixed | 04:38 |
| Ahmuck | is there a way to boot from one ubuntu installation and insert a new kernel in another ubuntu installation on a different drive so that booting the second drive upon reboot would boot the new kernel? | 04:38 |
| james296 | YAY | 04:38 |
| nrp | Kalumba, yep. unless you have another wifi card in | 04:38 |
| intelikey | Ahmuck yes. chroot pivot-root and the likes. | 04:39 |
| Kalumba | nrp, excellent! Then all is set and I can safely install Ubuntu on this computer. Thanks | 04:39 |
| skagen | how do i access shared documents in a winxp pc? | 04:39 |
| intelikey | apt error "Bus error" ??? | 04:39 |
| scguy318 | skagen: in VMware? | 04:39 |
| mmmiiikkkeee | powermanager keeps switching from "AC mode" to "battery mode" every 2 seconds... any ideas of what i could search google for to fix this? | 04:39 |
| Ebiggs | nick Ebiggs (away) | 04:40 |
| boontoo | Jordan_U: is Fglrx for me? i have a intel 945gm onboard graphics | 04:40 |
| Ahmuck | intelikey: any chance there is a instrution list on the web? | 04:40 |
| skagen | im not sure. im new to ubuntu.. do i need to install VMware? | 04:40 |
| intelikey | come on guys what's this error telling me ? | 04:40 |
| Jordan_U | boontoo, No, you want the "intel" driver if it is available ( I think :) | 04:41 |
| Kalumba | nrp, one more question: Is there a more graphic tool to connect to a ISP with PPPoE than pppoeconf ? | 04:41 |
| Jordan_U | boontoo, fglrx is for ATI cards | 04:41 |
| intelikey | Ahmuck yes tldp.org | 04:41 |
| boontoo | ah | 04:41 |

| boontoo | Jordan_U: i would like direct rendering whats the command to get the intel driver? ive done it before but now i forget | 04:41 |
| Evanlec | skagen, are u trying to access them through your network? | 04:42 |
| === [chr0n0s]]] is now known as [chr0n0s] | ||
| skagen | yes | 04:42 |
| nrp | Kalumba, sorry, don't know. I haven't used PPPoE | 04:42 |
| Evanlec | skagen, you should just be able to go to places > network and browse to your winxp's shared folder | 04:42 |
| River444 | Hey guys, could someone tell me how I install the 3d gui in Ubuntu? Not sure exactly how | 04:42 |
| intelikey | Ahmuck basicly you mount the fs and chroot into it, then fix things like you would in any normal terminal session. | 04:42 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: at the moment you're running on the vesa module, which means no DRI | 04:42 |
| Evanlec | River444, are u using gutsy? | 04:42 |
| Kalumba | nrp, ok, thanks anyway. | 04:42 |
| Jordan_U | boontoo, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel | 04:43 |
| River444 | evanlec, yes I am | 04:43 |
| boontoo | ty | 04:43 |
| scguy318 | Guerra: i think, if you haven't changed your xorg.conf since the last time you did to get GUI back | 04:43 |
| skagen | oh cool | 04:43 |
| navets | how do I run the snddevices script? | 04:43 |
| Evanlec | River444, have you installed your 3d card drivers? | 04:43 |
| River444 | evanlec, yes | 04:43 |
| skagen | first time using ubuntu :D | 04:43 |
| Jordan_U | boontoo, Then after it's installed you need to reconfigure X to use it with: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" | 04:43 |
| boontoo | Jordan_U: before the last update i could type glxinfo |grep direct and it says direct rendering is enabled, however now it is not =( is this a driver thing | 04:43 |
| intelikey | so my apt is totally hosed i guess | 04:44 |
| Evanlec | River444, 3d desktop is already installed, you can enable it by going to system > preferences > visual effects tab | 04:44 |
| boontoo | Jordan_U: it says the xorg intel is latest version already | 04:44 |

| Evanlec | River444, ^^ | 04:45 |
| Jordan_U | intelikey, Yes | 04:45 |
| skagen | yes thanks! | 04:45 |
| Tmob | can someone please help with this? ic an't figure how to get back to non-zoom state of compiz | 04:45 |
| lunz | does anyone using youtube.dl? | 04:45 |
| navets | how do I run the snddevices script? does anyone here know where they are? | 04:45 |
| Tmob | this is very annoying.. | 04:45 |
| Evanlec | usrl, system > preferences > appearance > theme tab | 04:45 |
| Tmob | heh | 04:45 |
| Jordan_U | intelikey, If you choose to actually remove it rather than just replacing it ( which you should obviously try first ) be VERRY careful as removing apt will cause a lot of dependency breakage | 04:46 |
| River444 | sweet, thanks guys | 04:46 |
| River444 | great support :P | 04:46 |
| Evanlec | skagen, your welcome, and welcome to ubuntu :) | 04:46 |
| usrl | Evanlec: That doesn't change everything, and I'm talking more themes from the internet. The themes there are horribly limited | 04:46 |
| skagen | how about from winxp to ubuntu? do i still need to set a shared folder? | 04:46 |
| Evanlec | usrl, agreed, u can find more at gnome-looks.org | 04:46 |
| Jordan_U | usrl, try the gnome-art package | 04:46 |
| usrl | Evanlec: I'm looking there, and I tried one, but it only seems to effect window borders | 04:47 |
| Evanlec | skagen, for that you'll need samba | 04:47 |
| Evanlec | !samba | skagen | 04:47 |
| ubotu | skagen: 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 | 04:47 |
| Tmob | ok i figured it | 04:47 |
| usrl | Jordan U: I'll try that, but unfortunately my ISP sucking combined with downloading a metric assload of games means I can't apt-get for awhile unless I want to lose a bunch of progress =/ | 04:47 |
| Tmob | windows key + 1, 2,3 | 04:47 |
| skagen | great! thanks guys! will be reading it now | 04:47 |
| intelikey | Jordan_U i found the problem. but have a sound issue, you want to help with it ? | 04:47 |
| Evanlec | usrl, it will change other things too, icons, panels, some changes are subtle, desktop background u hafta change urself ;p | 04:47 |
| beladona | hi, im new to linux and computers. is there a good typing tutorial program? | 04:48 |
| Jordan_U | intelikey, I can try :) | 04:48 |
| usrl | Evanlec: well in any case, it didn't =/ and I know, I mean backgrounds in nautilus and stuff | 04:48 |
| Evanlec | beladona, typing tutorial? like learning to type? | 04:48 |
| usrl | Evanlec: I'm trying to get my computer to be fairly dark (black), since I'm really pretty tired of staring at a lightbulb | 04:48 |

| beladona | i tried google every thing is for windows | 04:49 |
| Evanlec | usrl, yea, ive done that before, it involes downloading themes from gnome-looks.org and installing them... | 04:49 |
| Jordan_U | usrl, Many people have come here asking how to switch to their ISP's package mirror because then it doesn't count toward your download cap | 04:49 |
| usrl | Jordan: It's not a download cap | 04:49 |

| beladona | yeah my friend thinks i should be able to with outlooking at my hands | 04:50 |
| Jordan_U | intelikey, I assume that "asoundconf list" shows nothing? | 04:51 |
| Jordan_U | usrl, Ahh :) | 04:51 |
| Evanlec | beladona, they call that "touch typing" and dont worry, you'll get there, just takes a little time | 04:51 |

| Jordan_U | beladona, Are you at least using the right fingers for each key? If you are hunting and pecking no amount of "time" won't turn you into a touch typist | 04:52 |

| linuxidiot | Jordan_U: beladona left | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | intelikey, Did you do a minimal install? | 04:53 |
| Evanlec | Jordan_U, i disagree...altho i spose some basics on the homerows and stuff is necessary | 04:54 |
| usrl | Jordan_U: I have to disagree. I learned to hunt and peck, and gradually just got faster and faster at it. I did some touchtyping stuff in elementary school, but I could always type faster by just moving my fingers where I knew the keys were | 04:54 |

| ubotu | roosty: ntfs is To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For NTFS write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse | 04:55 |
| Jordan_U | roosty, It should mount automagically when you plug it in | 04:55 |
| Evanlec | usrl, are your fingers going back to the homerows before you start typing again? | 04:55 |
| wolfjb | Jordan_U, ok, I have tried the reconfigure and added the 'Option SHMConfig "on"' and 'Option HorizEdgeScroll "on"' to my xorg.conf file. I made sure the Synaptics Touchpad is listed in the ServerLayout section, however running snclient -l | grep HorizEdgeScroll shows 'HorizEdgeScroll = 0' even after restart. any other pointers? | 04:55 |
| john83 | roosty just turn on your usb misk after plug in to your computer | 04:55 |
| usrl | evanlec: doubt it | 04:55 |
| roosty | yes intelikey | 04:56 |
| wolfjb | Jordan_U, I have restarted X a couple of times too | 04:56 |
| linuxidiot | roosty: mount /dev/sdaX /mount/pnt | 04:56 |
| RandomUsr | does anyone here know how to make LEAP work with network manager | 04:56 |
| Evanlec | Jordan_U, have u heard about OSS 4? http://ubuntu-unleashed.blogspot.com/2007/10/get-better-sound-in-ubuntu-with-brand.html | 04:56 |
| c0Ld | hmm, firefox won't connect to anything while im downloading torrents with HUGE swarms :( | 04:56 |
| roosty | ok thks a ll | 04:57 |
| Jordan_U | wolfjb, Before adding anything else you tried with just the vanilla reconfigure xorg.conf, correct? | 04:57 |
| wolfjb | yep | 04:57 |
| usrl | Evanlec: my fingers are in kinda an arch shape, I guess. like, left hand pinky on shift, index on T. Right hand index finger over J, pinky floating around return. my posture is pretty crap right now lol | 04:57 |
| wolfjb | no horiz scroll, vertical work perfectly | 04:57 |
| Evanlec | !leap | 04:57 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about leap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:57 |
| RandomUsr | ick | 04:57 |
| usrl | Evanlec: but it's not like this is the only way I type. I pretty much can type from any angle, I think | 04:57 |
| Jordan_U | Evanlec, Yes, I'm not sure what to think of it though | 04:58 |
| Evanlec | usrl, well right hand index on J is good, should work on getting left index on F | 04:58 |
| Evanlec | Jordan_U, me either, thats why i was hoping you'd have an opinion ;p | 04:58 |
| usrl | Evanlec: meh, I type plenty fast as it is. At this point, learning touchtyping the 'right' way would slow me down more than help. If I was going to butcher my speed, I'd switch to Dvorak | 04:59 |
| Evanlec | Jordan_U, until i read that i thot ALSA was just the natural evolution of sound drivers...but apparently its just a replacement for OSS due to lack of development | 04:59 |
| Evanlec | usrl, oh the "faster" keyboard layout? | 04:59 |
| Jordan_U | Evanlec, A lack of development due to OSS going proprietary :) | 05:00 |
| roosty | people when i plug in my usb key its showmy on my desk but when i try to open tell me this hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000 | 05:00 |
| usrl | Evanlec: according to some studies and all sellers =P | 05:00 |
| Zombie | ALSA really was brilliant for its time. | 05:00 |
| Evanlec | Jordan_U, oh really? hmm, so oss4 is proprietary sofware? | 05:01 |
| roosty | people when i plug in my usb key its showmy on my desk but when i try to open tell me this hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000 | 05:01 |
| Jordan_U | usrl, From what I have heard Dvorak isn't really any faster for the most part but it is much less stressful, may help curb carple tunnel | 05:01 |
| jimjam | hey, just a quick question: how do I use a multi-button mouse? | 05:01 |
| Jordan_U | Evanlec, Was, now it's Free again :) | 05:01 |
| astro76 | !mouse | jimjam | 05:01 |
| ubotu | jimjam: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto | 05:01 |
| [R] | what creates the /lib/firmware files? | 05:02 |
| usrl | Jordan_U: like I was saying. It probably would be faster, if it weren't for the fact that everybody uses QWERTY | 05:02 |
| jimjam | astro76: I see, thanks. | 05:02 |
| usrl | Jordan_U: having to switch back and forth would hurt your speed badly | 05:02 |
| Jordan_U | [R], Firmware packages... maybe you would get a better answer if you explained what you are trying to do | 05:02 |
| Evanlec | is there still no easier way to do extra buttons than imwheel? | 05:03 |
| [R] | Jordan_U: i built a custom kernel and there was a /lib/firmware/oldkernelversion with firmware for my wireless in it | 05:03 |
| [R] | Jordan_U: i want to make that dir for my new kernel | 05:03 |
| Pharserror | is there anyone in here that would be able to help out with a rubygems installation? | 05:04 |
| roosty | intelikey, when i plug in my usb key its showmy on my desk but when i try to open tell me this hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000 | 05:04 |
| Jordan_U | [R], What chipset? | 05:05 |
| Pharserror | or, would anyone know where I could go to find help on Ruby? | 05:05 |
| Pharserror | IRC-wise? | 05:05 |
| Evanlec | !ruby | 05:05 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ruby - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:05 |
| [R] | Jordan_U: its a zd1211 | 05:05 |
| wolfjb | Pharserror, what's the issue? | 05:05 |
| Evanlec | Pharserror, i think #ruby | 05:05 |
| intelikey | roosty idk. sudo mount -o umask=000 /dev/sd* /mnt | 05:05 |
| Pharserror | wolfjb, I'm having problems installing rubygems | 05:06 |
| roosty | tnks intelikey | 05:06 |
| wolfjb | Pharserror, with apt-get or from the ruby website? | 05:06 |
| roosty | i use a script that the name its diskmounter to easy thks | 05:06 |
| intelikey | roosty that is to say you can mount it manually if you must. the sd* needs to be precise and the mount point /mnt may or may not exist. | 05:06 |
| Pharserror | wolfjb, I've already extracted the package to it's folder, but now when I attempt an install I get some errors | 05:07 |
| roosty | with the script its to easy :D | 05:07 |
| Pharserror | wolfjb, after I input "sudo ruby setup.rb" | 05:07 |
| intelikey | so now. someone help me find a driver for this sound card | 05:07 |
| intelikey | Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 09) | 05:08 |
| [R] | Jordan_U: oh i figured it out... i was doing dpkg wrong... its linux-ubuntu-modules | 05:08 |
| wolfjb | Pharserror, I ran apt-get install rubygems to get it installed, and didn't need to run setup.rb | 05:08 |
| wolfjb | Pharserror, after that sudo gem update | 05:09 |
| Pharserror | hmm...I'll try that | 05:09 |
| wolfjb | Pharserror, worked perfectly for me | 05:09 |
| Pharserror | ok | 05:09 |
| roosty | how can i have the complete cube with compiz on mi desk ? | 05:09 |
| roosty | i have only 2 sides | 05:09 |
| roosty | how can i have the complete cube with compiz on mi desk ? | 05:10 |
| Pharserror | wolfjb, what was that command again to get rubygems? | 05:11 |
| RandomUsr | hmm | 05:11 |
| Pharserror | sudo apt-get rubygems? | 05:11 |
| wolfjb | Pharserror, sudo apt-get install rubygems | 05:11 |
| Pharserror | wolfjb, I'm getting errors with connecting to the universe or something | 05:12 |
| wolfjb | Pharserror, hmmm, that kind of needs to work since rubygems is in universe/interpreters | 05:13 |
| ckin2001 | Pharserror, is it enabled in your sources list? | 05:13 |
| cobb28 | intelikey: you need a linux driver for the ensoniq i assume? | 05:14 |
| wolfjb | Pharserror, look in System->Admin->Software Sources and make sure the universe option is checked | 05:14 |
| wolfjb | I think it's the second option | 05:15 |
| levander | I don't want to log into another box via XDMCP, I just wanna ssh into it and have an X program displayed on my local box. How do I do that? | 05:15 |
| wolfjb | levander, slogin -X host then run the program you want | 05:15 |
| levander | wolfjb: slogin and not ssh? | 05:16 |
| wolfjb | levander, ssh -X would prbly work too, but I prefer to slogin | 05:16 |
| Pharserror | wolfjb, sorry went afk. I'm checking that out now | 05:16 |
| Olde | what's the name of the package that allows you to mount windows in ubuntu? | 05:16 |
| ckin2001 | levander, ssh -X does work as well | 05:16 |
| Olde | ends in 3g | 05:17 |
| ckin2001 | Olde, fuse | 05:17 |
| Olde | it's called fuse? ok | 05:18 |
| scguy318 | Olde: ntfs-3g | 05:18 |
| wolfjb | levander, ssh -X host command would run the command on host and display it on local | 05:18 |
| Pharserror | wolfjb, I'm not seeing anything about software sources. what else could it be under? | 05:18 |
| Olde | thanks scguy | 05:18 |
| Evanlec | anyone here get imwheel to work with nautilus? | 05:18 |
| ckin2001 | ty scguy, my bad | 05:18 |
| wolfjb | Pharserror, odd, well you could always just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the line there | 05:19 |
| c0Ld | does anyone know a command that I can use to list all of my files in a certain folder on a text file? I'm trying ls -l /path/to/folder > test.txt, and it's working, but some of my files are several directories deep and won't show up. /path/to/file/* isn't showing all of them either | 05:19 |
| wolfjb | Pharserror, deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main universe or something like that | 05:20 |
| Chamunks | If someone were to microwave a thumbdrive how possible would it be to recover the data on the drive theoretically | 05:20 |

| cube | i have a new pc build and it makes the thinking sound when my hd activity light goes on! does it mean my sata hd is messed up?? | 05:26 |
| Chamunks | scguy318, well lets say I use a keydisk to contain some keyfiles for some encrypted disks and encrypted volumes contained within this volume | 05:26 |
| scguy318 | Chamunks: playing with TrueCrypt | 05:26 |
| Chamunks | scguy318, in a sense the destruction of the known keyfiles would render the password useless | 05:26 |
| cube | the sound didn't happen right away when i installed ubuntu as a OS but now about a week later it happens when i open programs etc | 05:27 |
| cube | its like the classic crappy computer thinking sound, but this thing is a beast why is it doing it? | 05:27 |
| scguy318 | Chamunks: so I'm guessing you want to wipe those keyfiles? | 05:27 |
| Chamunks | scguy318, among other things yeah im just trying to conceptualise the perfect framework for data security | 05:27 |
| Chamunks | scguy318, if the situation ever arrose yes | 05:27 |

| Chamunks | Zippy2, Yeah i suppose one could use a usb key for the boot files couldent i... mmm interesting food for thought | 05:36 |

| Clearzen | With the --exclude command in rsync do you use commas to separate the excluded directories? | 05:39 |
| Zippy2 | daily build is a more up-to-date version of the installer than the one released with the "release" (stable) | 05:39 |

| cube | danesh: why do you want to stay with 5? | 05:41 |
| tr0seph | honestly | 05:41 |
| Zippy2 | Chamunks: one tip tho. if youre going to use crypto, install it with the default kernel (or you wont be able to boot). and dont make a filesystem a random key; that doesnt wor | 05:41 |

| scguy318 | like VERY old | 05:43 |
| danesh | tr0seph : but it is stable? | 05:43 |
| Zippy2 | it was stable | 05:43 |
| scguy318 | danesh: it was, but its no longer supported | 05:44 |
| Chamunks | Zippy2, well ubuntu seems to take about two releases to get things on track well enough that it can install from machine to machine with a pretty reliable consistency for me so far any ways... | 05:44 |
| Zippy2 | on new hardware it isn | 05:44 |
| cube | the last install cd i can find laying around was 4.10 i think | 05:44 |
| Zippy2 | t | 05:44 |

| Zippy2 | Chamunks: okay | 05:55 |

| arnducky | pga, just look in your /etc/fstab and if a mount point is defined you will see it (carefull not to change this file unless you know what you are doing though) and yes, 'N' represents the partition number. There is a pretty good explanation of this in the Ubuntu user guide and in the info documents for Linux too | 06:11 |

| kahrytan | tony_, Or Amaya. I like Kompozer. Easier to use. | 06:17 |
| arnducky | pga did you define a custom mount point somehow? I haven't seen /mnt/* used since Breezy/Dapper | 06:17 |
| kahrytan | tony_, NVU isnt updated anymore. Hence Kompozer. which is KDE based. | 06:17 |
| warbler | kahrytan: why do you say it is scsi? - I think ubuntu is calling ide drives sata | 06:18 |
| Not_Sure | If g++ cannot locate gtk.h, what could be an issue? | 06:18 |
| nila | can anyone help? | 06:18 |
| kahrytan | warbler, cuz I looked in properties. Connection: SCSI | 06:18 |
| nila | the wireless works perfectly under Xp / Vista | 06:18 |

| nila | only under Ubuntu does it cut off | 06:18 |
| intelikey | pha mtab doesn't change until an fs is mounted/dismounted/remounted | 06:18 |
| intelikey | pick one ^ | 06:19 |
| tony_ | does kompozer come with 7.10? | 06:19 |
| arnducky | kahrytan, more likely just the kernel driver is for those particular I/O controllers is "SCSI" | 06:19 |

| Evanlec | tony_, cut the shit eh? | 06:44 |
| tony_ | sory coffee is getting to me | 06:44 |
| Evanlec | Ebiggs, hum...i think u might wanna try rebooting, firefox may still be running in the background or something | 06:45 |
| NewToLinux | Would an Empty Line in Menu.lst cause an error ? | 06:45 |
| tony_ | HAHA i figured it out | 06:45 |
| tony_ | thanks dudes | 06:45 |
| Jordan_U | Madpilot, I am actually really surprised because she hasn't asked me one question, and she has had it for more than 6 months, I guess I need to have more faith in Ubuntu :) | 06:45 |
| Flux-D | DisabledDuck: make sure u have java installed | 06:45 |
| Evanlec | NewToLinux, no.. | 06:45 |

| Madpilot | Jordan_U, we got a family friend onto dapper (from win98) and he's had very few questions. | 06:46 |
| Jordan_U | Agent_bob, Evanlec firefox-bin | 06:46 |
| Evanlec | Agent_bob, yea that might work too | 06:46 |
| Agent_bob | kill -9 `pidof firefox` | 06:46 |
| DisabledDuck | ctop: deluge? | 06:46 |
| Flux-D | DisabledDuck: ooh I am not too sure then does java have a 64 bit version? | 06:46 |
| Jordan_U | Agent_bob, pkill ;) | 06:46 |
| Madpilot | Jordan_U, for basic users, the 'just works' factor is good. he also lucked out a bit with hardware - all his existing stuff worked with Ubuntu. | 06:46 |
| ctop | google it | 06:46 |
| Evanlec | or killall firefox* ? | 06:46 |
| Flux-D | DisabledDuck: deluge is another client based on libtorrent pretty good kinda like utorrent on windows | 06:47 |
| Evanlec | Flux-D, it does not.. | 06:47 |
| usrl | ok, I've got my splash screen and login screen working, but the background is still the default light brown ubuntu color. How can I change that? I've tried changing the solid color on the wallpaper screen to black,a nd that doesn't work | 06:47 |
| tony_ | now that im logged in as root how do i do wine again | 06:47 |
| Agent_bob | Evanlec anyway. lots of things that don't require making linux look like M$ reboot os | 06:47 |
| ctop | lol tony have you ever tried google | 06:47 |
| usrl | nevermind, I think I was looking in the wrong place | 06:47 |
| tony_ | whats google? | 06:47 |
| Evanlec | i wish adobe/macromedia would get their heads out of their asses and make a 64-bit version of their god damn crap software! | 06:47 |
| tony_ | jk | 06:47 |
| ctop | dont know google it and find out | 06:47 |
| Jordan_U | Madpilot, I wonder if she is going to upgrade or not, I doubt that update-manager prompts when a release will soon no longer be supported | 06:47 |

| Madpilot | Jordan_U, not sure if it does - I was running a Breezy server long after it dropped out of support, and at least at the command line the was no notificaiton | 06:48 |
| Ebiggs | Evanlec: Mk. Lol | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | astroman, have you tried System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager ? | 06:49 |

| Jordan_U | bro-man, It configures any packages which are in the state of not being configured, apt uses dpkg, so basically it just tells dpkg what packages need to be added or removed, apt has already downloaded all of the packages that need to be installed, and has told dpkg that they are not yet configured, so if apt quits ( also quitting dpkg ) it *probably* wont be any different telling dpkg to just continue configuring than if apt | 07:16 |

| Agent_bob | warbler actually it seems that if your card can do midi then you don't need the freepats or the timidity package .... so seeing that it is emulated i would think that the kernel would be free from responsibility there. | 07:37 |
| ppcguy | if you did a default install you swap partition is most likey hda2 with your user partition being hda3. if you delete 3 you will delete you os | 07:37 |
| Jordan_U | bro-man, It looks like you killed apt when you pressed ctrl+c, I guess I should have warned you :( I am not 100% sure though | 07:38 |
| smmagic | So..I can't delete either? | 07:38 |
| * chalcedony smiles | 07:38 | |
| scragar | smmagic: better check which one is your OS first, run "cat /etc/fstab" and look for the one that's listed as "/" in the second column | 07:38 |
| chalcedony | where would i look for Linux compatible laptops ? | 07:39 |
| Jordan_U | bro-man, What is the output of "pgrep apt-get" and "pgrep dpkg" ? | 07:39 |
| ppcguy | you can resize if you have the space. But I would not recommend deleting either | 07:39 |
| NewToLinux | Are there AptOnCD packages I could download. I think that sounds weird but I hear that using AptOnCD you could make backups of the stuff you downloaded . I use an AMD 64 Install | 07:39 |
| ppcguy | and follow scragar's advice | 07:39 |
| smmagic | /dev/sda3 | 07:39 |
| Jordan_U | chalcedony, http://dell.com/ubuntu | 07:39 |
| smmagic | Or should I pastebin it? | 07:39 |
| ppcguy | lenovo, dell have laptops w/ linux installed if that is what you are looking for | 07:39 |
| chalcedony | Jordan_U: if i didn't want a dell ? | 07:39 |
| Jordan_U | chalcedony, Also system76 and some others | 07:39 |
| warbler | Agent_bob: " playmidi : no playback device found " suggests a card that doesn't support midi or no appropriate driver to me - can't help further - sorry | 07:39 |
| bro-man | Jordan_U, enter and report this now? | 07:39 |
| chalcedony | okies ty Jordan_U :)) | 07:39 |
| qwerty121 | how can i remove the icons of mounted filesystems from the desktop? | 07:40 |
| Jordan_U | bro-man, Yes, in another terminal | 07:40 |
| scragar | smmagic: by the sounds of it it's the 3rd partition. better resize than delete normaly though | 07:40 |
| smmagic | I have no free spce | 07:40 |
| ppcguy | how big is the hd? smmagic? | 07:40 |
| smmagic | *mutters* 20gb *mutters* | 07:40 |

| Agent_bob | chalcedony call me biased, but i would sujest that you avoid "ati" chip sets, for another year anyway. | 07:41 |
| chalcedony | Agent_bob: i appreciate that suggestion too :) | 07:42 |
| scragar | smmagic: big enough. you should have a few partitions right?(swap and a another 1 or 2). | 07:42 |
| Agent_bob | laptops and ati chips don't play nice with linux imo but others may have other openions. | 07:42 |
| Jordan_U | chalcedony, If you don't need a beast for a graphics card intel provides great Open Source drivers for their GPU's, and I believe all of their wireless cards but I am not sure about that | 07:42 |
| smmagic | For some reasons I have 2 swaps | 07:42 |
| scragar | smmagic: one will just be a size increase, don't worry about it too much | 07:43 |
| Jordan_U | bro-man, Any output? | 07:43 |
| scragar | smmagic: unless it's a significant size anyway. | 07:43 |
| smmagic | Because I only have 5.2gb free space | 07:43 |
| bro-man | not on the first one... | 07:43 |
| Lobinho | hi all | 07:44 |
| NewToLinux | Does installing more programs on ubuntu make it slower? (Knows that might be a silly question but I just had to ask). I thinking of downloading the stuff for VLC, XINE, XMMS , Opera , Java and Flash | 07:44 |
| Agent_bob | i haven't used swap on a deskop or server in years now. | 07:44 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, No | 07:44 |
| Jordan_U | NewToLinux, Not any of those programs, no | 07:44 |
| NewToLinux | What about Wine and Qemu | 07:45 |
| bro-man | Jordan_U, vapors@vapors-desktop:~$ pgrep apt-get | 07:45 |
| bro-man | vapors@vapors-desktop:~$ pgrep dpkg | 07:45 |
| bro-man | 10699 | 07:45 |
| bro-man | vapors@vapors-desktop:~$ | 07:45 |
| Flynsarmy | Jordan_U: Will it get slower over time like windows does? | 07:45 |
| NewToLinux | I do have 2Gb mem and a AMD 4400 | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | NewToLinux, Some packages have daemons but things that are just applications don't do anything but take up HD space when not in use :) | 07:45 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, depending on the file system used, installing apps can increase drive fragmentation, but the effect will be minimal in most cases | 07:45 |
| orkungunay | hello everybody | 07:45 |
| Lobinho | can anyone help regarding running utorrent in wine? it'll run, and shows up in the notification area, but i can't seem to get a window to display... | 07:45 |
| NewToLinux | Flynsarmy: Exactly the correct question I wanted to ask | 07:45 |
| Doomguy0505 | Does anybody know why audacity, gmanview and gmanedit not use the GTK theme? | 07:46 |
| pwnguin | got a question about sound -- the audio preferences stuff seems to crash when i try to set up the mic | 07:46 |
| ctop | lobinho use something native to linux | 07:46 |
| orkungunay | can i uninstall a package via console with using sudo dpkg -i "programname" right or wrong ? | 07:46 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, It is highly dependant upon how you use the system | 07:46 |
| Jordan_U | bro-man, So dpkg is still running, which means that if you wait the same amount of time it would have taken to upgrade it will probably finish and quit, I'm not sure what update-manager will do at that point though | 07:46 |
| Flynsarmy | orkungunay: sudo apt-get purge <package> works doesn't it? | 07:46 |
| Agent_bob | Flynsarmy who knows, no one ever leaves a linux installation alone long enough to find out "gotta upgrade asap ya know" | 07:46 |
| crdlb | Flynsarmy: you're mixing apt-get and aptitude | 07:47 |
| Garbage | hello guys... | 07:47 |
| crdlb | it's apt-get remove (optionally adding --purge) | 07:47 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, If you constantly install, use, and remove applications, use custom icons all over the place, and such, then yes you will begin to see some slowdowns... though it's not as bad as windows. | 07:47 |
| NewToLinux | Im guessing installing the other Window managers like KDE will slwo the performance down a bit? | 07:47 |
| orkungunay | crdlb, Flynsarmy thanks i'll do it | 07:47 |
| Lobinho | ctop: can you recommend a linux-native torrent client? i've tried a couple and generally been dissatisfied w/ features... | 07:47 |
| NewToLinux | Ty confuzed I wanted to try custom icons but after seeing the file pack sizes I stopped :D | 07:47 |
| crdlb | Lobinho: I love rtorrent, but it's terminal-based | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | NewToLinux, Not installing window managers, but desktop environments possibly | 07:48 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, not really... please understand that applications are just files, like anything else... it's not until they are invoked that slowdowns occur. | 07:48 |
| crdlb | I run it in screen so I can connect to it anywhere | 07:48 |
| scragar | NewToLinux: marginaly when in use yes, but if not in use then they will have the same effect on speed as everything else, near none | 07:48 |
| Varka | Lobinho: have a look at deluge | 07:48 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, windows suffers from registry bloat, and the biggest cause of slowdowns is malware | 07:48 |
| bro-man | Jordan_U, it has passed the time all-togther... | 07:48 |
| NewToLinux | Jordan_U: Could you please explain the Desktop Environment bit? Im pretty new , what Is a desktop environment? | 07:49 |
| Frogzoo | NewToLinux: what cpu are we talking here? | 07:49 |
| Jordan_U | NewToLinux, KDE is a desktop environment and I think installing it *may* make some daemons start at boot even if you log into Gnome, something like Compiz, Fulxbox, or icewm won't though | 07:49 |
| NewToLinux | AMD64 4400 | 07:49 |
| Jordan_U | bro-man, How long? | 07:49 |
| crdlb | orkungunay: sudo apt-get remove <packagename> | 07:49 |
| Frogzoo | NewToLinux: you can enable all the bells/whistles you like - you won't notice any speed difference | 07:49 |
| Lobinho | rtorrent, deluge, ok thanks. will look into it. | 07:49 |
| bro-man | Jordan_U, by about 4 hours... | 07:50 |
| NewToLinux | Ty Im kind of ascared of enabling COmpiz cause I see quite a few have problems with it. Im using an Onboard 6150 | 07:50 |
| Agent_bob | NewToLinux simple way to think of a "desktop environment" is that it's the structure that allows you to move windows around and click on things and have menus come up | 07:50 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, I run Gnome/KDE/XFCE on a p3 system with 512mb of ram and never noticed any significant issues with it. | 07:50 |
| Jordan_U | bro-man, OK... I have an idea which may or not be a good one... | 07:50 |
| NewToLinux | lol thats reassuring confuzed | 07:50 |
| === loucas is now known as SoteriouLoucas | ||
| Frogzoo | NewToLinux: compiz isn't that hard on a vid card, it's not doing that much really | 07:51 |
| NewToLinux | Thanks Agent_bob that explains :D | 07:51 |
| Varka | Lobinho: most featured but bloated and resourceeating would be azureus, but i bet you've already had that one. ;) | 07:51 |

| ppcguy | orkungunay. Why are you using dillo? | 07:52 |
| confuzed | can someone help me understand how gnome icon's work. I need to be able to refer the the user's current theme's cdrom icon | 07:52 |
| Agent_bob | confuzed and NewToLinux i was running kde on a p1mmx 100mhz with 96m ram and no swap. worked ok for me. | 07:52 |
| orkungunay | ppcguy, heueheu it is small and fast | 07:52 |
| Agent_bob | just so you know that linux isnt a hog | 07:52 |
| NewToLinux | Im just scared of some of the threads Ive seen about nVidia Restricted drivers being used with Compiz cause random lockups and display problems | 07:52 |
| ppcguy | well that I can understand to a point.. But it is very limited | 07:52 |

| DWonderly | question, I have a USB Harddrive that i'm trying to mount. I found it in the Devices and it's labled as usb raw... how do I mount it? | 07:52 |
| NewToLinux | Hmm maybe I should dig out an old 433 celeron I have :D | 07:53 |
| linxuz3r | what is a make file | 07:53 |
| Doomguy0505 | how do i theme old gtk applications? | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | bro-man, Save all of this conversation BTW for the bug report because the fact that you accidentally quit apt and that I am going to tell you how to purposefully introduce an error will be important | 07:53 |
| bro-man | Jordan_U, I am at the mercy of this situation... I am open to any idea... | 07:53 |
| orkungunay | ppcguy, don't u prefer using dillo ?_ | 07:53 |
| confuzed | DWonderly, is there a disk in it? | 07:53 |
| confuzed | DWonderly, oops... it's a hdd | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | bro-man, Also keep the screen shot | 07:53 |
| bro-man | Jordan_U, ... clear. | 07:53 |
| lkthomas | guys | 07:53 |
| lkthomas | if I have core2duo, should I install amd64 version of ubuntu ? | 07:54 |
| Jordan_U | bro-man, Here goes... At the prompt within update-manager run "set -e" | 07:54 |
| mrak | hello | 07:54 |
| DWonderly | confuzed <G> yeah, It's reads as a Maxtor 3200 but, it only lists as usb raw. | 07:54 |
| ppcguy | linxuz3r it is a file that you execute from the director of a promgram you have downloaded to create an install and usable version of the program for your computer | 07:54 |
| Flynsarmy | aMSN apparently stores webcam logs. where are they kept? i can't find where the convo logs ar ekept either | 07:54 |
| Agent_bob | sujest ? playmidi: No playback device found. | 07:54 |
| mrak | lkthomas: if is it 64bit version of procesor ... yes :) | 07:54 |
| Frogzoo | lkthomas: nope - stick with 32 bit is best | 07:54 |
| Frogzoo | mrak: no no no | 07:55 |
| confuzed | DWonderly, what file system is on the drive... anything? | 07:55 |

| bro-man | Jordan_U, ok... trying now. | 07:56 |
| lkthomas | mrak: | 07:56 |
| lkthomas | mrak: PAE does not work as expected | 07:56 |
| confuzed | DWonderly, on every system I've used, USB drives just work... however you could look at dmesg "tail dmesg" at the command line and see if you see any error sounding lines | 07:56 |
| DWonderly | confuzed, thanks. I'll abuse google too <G> | 07:57 |
| confuzed | DWonderly, you could also just try and mount it and see what happens "sudo mount /dev/usbraw /mnt" | 07:57 |

| nila | warbler, - sorry, didn't realise it was talking about with these drivers, thought it meant with inbuilt ones or something | 08:09 |
| frederick85 | Jordan_U: there is a package that apparantly installs the documentation after i download it :P | 08:09 |
| Jordan_U | frederick85, read "apt-cache show sun-java6-doc " | 08:09 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, are you installing it via apt? | 08:09 |
| Clearzen | NewToLinux: ummm, mythtv won't use .exe files as dependencies | 08:09 |
| confuzed | Clearzen, yes it does | 08:09 |
| NewToLinux | yes | 08:09 |
| Clearzen | confuzed: why? | 08:09 |
| frederick85 | Jordan_U: tha'ts not the documentation though | 08:09 |
| confuzed | Clearzen, MS TTF's are required | 08:09 |
| Clearzen | confuzed: oh, that sucks | 08:10 |
| NewToLinux | Mythtv required it some time ago but I think I might have not unselected it in Synapt | 08:10 |
| confuzed | Clearzen, and the package downloads and extracts the ttf from the exe using cabextract | 08:10 |
| Clearzen | confuzed: makes sense | 08:10 |
| Jordan_U | frederick85, I guess the answer is no but at least it seems that the files will be known about and handled by apt / dpkg | 08:10 |
| tarmael | Hey all. I'm getting an error with Direct Rendoring. | 08:11 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, so every time you run apt it tries to download the .exe file again? | 08:11 |
| warbler | nila: I don't use your card so I skimmed but was sure they said your better off with ndiswrapper and windows drivers | 08:11 |

| Ben_Cs | how do i know from CLI what's my resolution? | 08:12 |
| misc-- | Frogzoo: Thankyou very much! That fixed the main problem I was having with Steam | 08:13 |

| patbam | can i remove minesweeper? please? | 08:13 |
| Frogzoo | misc--: nice | 08:14 |
| Ben_Cs | thnx | 08:14 |
| NewToLinux | Heres what I was talking about http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6091/screenshotyh8.png andal32.exe msttcorefonts | 08:14 |
| Frogzoo | patbam: add/remove programs | 08:15 |
| patbam | can i remove minesweeper? please? | 08:15 |
| scragar | patbam: if you want. it's under add and remove Applications from the Aplications menu in 7.10 | 08:15 |
| intelikey | i went all through the wiki on midi and according to that it should be working there is no "if" contengent for when it doesn't "just work" so anyone have any insight at all on this ? playmidi: No playback device found. | 08:15 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, and that happens all the time right? | 08:16 |
| NewToLinux | yes confuzed | 08:16 |
| scragar | patbam: it's part of a games package though, so your removing more than 1 game if you decide to get rid of it | 08:16 |
| NewToLinux | anything I download does that | 08:16 |
| NewToLinux | I believe its the reason my MythTv screen doesnt have its menu showing either I can use the arrow keys to select Imaginary options though :D | 08:17 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, yea... I think that you have an old copy of the msttcore font package that is trying to install... I forget the apt command to cancel it... give me a second | 08:17 |
| NewToLinux | Ty confuzed | 08:17 |
| Jordan_U | bro-man, You back? I need to leave soon | 08:18 |
| chuy_max | hi, does anyone know if it is possible to redirect audio output to blue jack instead of green jack? | 08:18 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, from a terminal window try running "sudo apt-get -f install" and "sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 08:19 |
| Wisteso | im guessing he means line-out | 08:19 |
| Jordan_U | chuy_max, Is the blue jack supposed to be an audio output on the hardware? | 08:19 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, that should stop that from coming up again. | 08:19 |
| smmagic | Can someone help me get video streams working? I currently have totem-xine | 08:20 |
| [chr0n0s] | hi, anyone knows the command to switch off the wireless device, and start it again, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart won't do that, also sudo ifconfig up won't do that | 08:20 |
| chuy_max | Jordan_U, yup, where you connect speakers, do you know if it is possible? | 08:20 |
| Jordan_U | smmagic, In what way are they not working? | 08:20 |
| Jordan_U | chuy_max, It is | 08:20 |
| smmagic | They do not play | 08:20 |
| smmagic | If I right click and press play with movie player | 08:20 |
| Jordan_U | chuy_max, Not sure off hand how though :) | 08:20 |
| smmagic | It says no plugin able to handle .flv | 08:20 |
| chuy_max | Jordan_U, wooohooo | 08:20 |
| chuy_max | I will keep googling to see if I find a how to or something | 08:21 |
| Matthai | i have one questin... I hacve HP 1955 monitor, and unfortunately autodetected setting is 75 Hz refresh rate... it is not working, until I manually set 60 Hz... but I have to do it manually at each restart. Any help? | 08:21 |
| chuy_max | :) | 08:21 |
| Frogzoo | Matthai: include in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf specs for HorizSync & VertRefresh | 08:22 |
| Jordan_U | smmagic, Try totem-gstreamer ( I personally think it's better to have both a xine and a gstreamer app available, and while xine has gxine totem is the best for gstreamer ) | 08:22 |

| Frogzoo | Matthai: pastebin dude | 08:22 |
| NewToLinux | confuzed: I think the first command did it . Running the second one again trys to download the package andal32.exe | 08:22 |
| melz_ | isd there a power manager app other than the one proveded with gnome that might work better? | 08:23 |
| Frogzoo | Matthai: you need to set those variables to what the monitor supports | 08:23 |
| Matthai | Frogzoo, http://pastebin.com/d556730e2 | 08:23 |
| Matthai | Frogzoo, but I don't know the right values... | 08:23 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, ok... what the second commmand is doing is telling it to reattempt the install of any failed packages. | 08:24 |
| Frogzoo | Matthai: but google does | 08:24 |
| NewToLinux | Oh ok | 08:24 |
| === Wisteso2 is now known as nullname9139 | ||
| Varka | Matthai: these parameters are incorrect it should be 30-82 and 56-75 but i dont think this will solve your problem | 08:24 |

| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| === nullname9139 is now known as Wisteso2 | ||
| confuzed | NewToLinux, try doing this from the commandline "sudo apt-get clean" then run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 08:25 |
| NewToLinux | Will try | 08:25 |
| _Johny | !it|_Johny | 08:25 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, your right, the file/site is unavailable... but if that were the case, then everyone would have this problem and the package would be updated. | 08:26 |
| * spinoza_w gbdj | 08:27 | |
| NewToLinux | First command no response from terminal hence assuming it was correct. Second sdame problem. Cant resolve the website | 08:27 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, So either 1. there is something preventing you from accessing these sites (there are multiple sites it is attempting) or 2. the package that is trying to install is out of date or otherwise lists the wrong location for the sites. | 08:27 |
| [chr0n0s] | hi, i have 2 wireless networks at work, i want to set an order of preference of connecting to them, where do i definee those ? | 08:28 |

| niina | Is there a devilspie channel on irc.freenode.com? | 08:28 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, well I just tested the first site that it trys to download from... and the file is there. | 08:29 |
| === niina is now known as niina01 | ||
| confuzed | NewToLinux, something is wrong with your internet configuration.... perhaps your DNS... do you have any trouble getting the file by going to "http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe" | 08:30 |
| niina01 | is there a devilspie channel on irc.freenode.net? | 08:30 |
| gregorovius | anybody knows of a program to sync a random subset of my music albums to a portable device? | 08:30 |

| confuzed | NewToLinux, hmm... why would the package fail to find the file, when we can get to it no problem from the browser... hmm | 08:33 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, are you logged in as the same user at the terminal as you are in your gnome session? | 08:33 |

| NewToLinux | 194K Application/Octet-stream | 08:36 |
| Jordan_U | smmagic, Did you try totem-gstreamer? | 08:36 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, only other thing I can imagine is that the location it is downloading to is not writable by root | 08:36 |
| NewToLinux | Thers a quite a few others who have the same question on the net | 08:37 |
| NewToLinux | Most of them say that the site is not avilable though. But being able to download it with the wget command is weird | 08:37 |
| smmagic | Jordan_U: yes | 08:38 |
| NewToLinux | can I put this file in the place where Ubuntu downloads the files and then trick it into think that it downloaded it? | 08:38 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, yeah the install script uses wget I believe... I'm guessing it timesout when it can't write to the destination. | 08:38 |
| Jordan_U | smmagic, And it didn't work even when right clicking and choosing "open with totem" ? | 08:38 |
| smmagic | Yes | 08:38 |
| confuzed | NewToLinux, I'm trying to figure out where it goes | 08:38 |

| brade1 | im using ubuntu 7.10 under virtualbox and i am wondering how i can get all my music copied off windows and into ubuntu so i can play it through rhythmbox | 08:53 |

| burwaco | good morning everyone ! | 08:54 |
| scragar | brade1: you will first need a libary to read NTFS file structures, open synaptic from System> Administration > Synaptic | 08:55 |
| === Biju is now known as NewToLinu1 | ||
| brade1 | scrager> ok | 08:55 |
| NewToLinu1 | confuzed: same person :) | 08:55 |
| confuzed | NewToLinu1, it doesn't matter. | 08:55 |
| scragar | brade1: then use the search for NTFS, one of them is something like ntfs9 - you need that | 08:56 |
| warbler | [chr0n0s]: I only know that you can set up in applications-system-network-location - each domain that you want to join - maybe ordering them with the location option will get you what you need - I have no experience setting the order for two different cards I'm sorry to say | 08:56 |
| [chr0n0s] | warbler, np, thanks :) | 08:56 |
| brade1 | scrager> is it NTFS or ntfs9 i need?? | 08:56 |
| warbler | k | 08:56 |
| confuzed | NewToLinu1, one more thing to try... "apt-get purge msttcorefonts" | 08:57 |
| scragar | brade1: it's called libntfs9 | 08:57 |
| brade1 | scragar> so i download and install that?? | 08:57 |
| confuzed | NewToLinu1, er one more thing to try... "apt-get --purge remove msttcorefonts" | 08:57 |

| NewToLinu1 | Possibly all of them tied together? | 08:59 |
| Pierre | brade1: so no need of ntfs and co, only share the windows directory on the windows side. See the virtual box documentation about how to use them | 08:59 |

| stillWithFiesty | any recommendation on dvd to vcd converter for ubuntu? | 09:05 |
| brade1 | Pierre> is it easy to get help in #vbox or is it hard?? | 09:05 |
| damaltor | i have the follwowing problem: i want to install Xubuntu onto an old (~650 mhz) COmputer. everything works fine, except for the SCSI devices (a cd writer and a tape streamer). both devices work correctly with knoppix and with damn small linux, as well as with other knoppix-based live-distros. is the scsi part missing in standard installation? eben in "expert"mode i didnt find anything real g | 09:05 |
| doudou | Please, what do you mean by "er" | 09:05 |
| damaltor | ood. what can i do? | 09:06 |
| superm401 | stillWithFeisy, you can probably get something working with mencoder or ffmpeg. | 09:06 |
| Pierre | brade1: ask and wait, like always :) | 09:06 |
| brade1 | Pierre> ok thanks :) | 09:06 |
| confuzed | doudou, not by default... though the source package may depend upon them... er simply that I am correcting myself... | 09:06 |
| stillWithFiesty | superm401: i see i'll check it out... | 09:06 |
| stillWithFiesty | any more suggestions for dvd to vcd conversion? | 09:07 |
| confuzed | stillWithFiesty, one sec | 09:07 |
| doudou | Yes, it's build-essential and not build-essentials, it was clear for me | 09:07 |
| warbler | damaltor: what happens with the live cd is a good indication - have you tried it? | 09:07 |
| damaltor | well.. as i said, on a live cd it works perfectly | 09:08 |
| stillWithFiesty | confuzed: thanks... | 09:08 |
| === boha__ is now known as b0ha | ||
| damaltor | warbler: but i dont know whats different, why are the scsi devices found in a pre-installed environment, but on a step-by-step installed, personal system, they are not found? | 09:09 |
| warbler | damaltor: then it should be fine - the live cd is a good indicator - that's why it is made | 09:09 |
| doudou | Just a while, I've to finish the new installation of ubuntu of the laptop (a PII, it shall need a while). I will check if It's installed but the problem is that I have no internet connexion with it: if build-essential is not on the cd, it will be tricky | 09:09 |
| damaltor | warbler: aaah now i know what you mean. it works correctly with knoppix based live cds, ist does NOT work with the xubuntu disc | 09:09 |
| warbler | damaltor: sorry - did you install it to hd and have trouble? | 09:10 |
| damaltor | warbler: yep. using DamnSmall or knoppix - no problems. using the xubuntu live system - scsi not found. installing xubuntu do hd - still not found | 09:10 |
| damaltor | DamnSmall is a knoppix based version, maybe this is the reason why it works so good. | 09:11 |

| [chr0n0s] | i can receive 2 wireless connections on my laptop, how do i define an order for connecting to them ?? | 09:13 |
| superm401 | Right, it downloads the updates. | 09:13 |
| superm401 | It just never thinks anything's changed. | 09:13 |
| damaltor | warbler: seems t be an old athlon, nothing special. 650 mhz, 320 mb ram | 09:13 |
| stillWithFiesty | confuzed: it's supposed to convert dvd movies into vcd format so they can be burned into cds? | 09:13 |
| damaltor | superm401: did you tyoe that in? | 09:13 |
| superm401 | yes, damaltor | 09:14 |
| damaltor | superm401: any errors? | 09:14 |
| superm401 | damaltor: Nope. It seemingly downloads fine. | 09:14 |
| warbler | damaltor: I run xubuntu feisty on amd 500mhz ok | 09:14 |
| antoine | doudou > i have 3 different problems that are maybe linked : first, when booting, i don't see the boot window any more (the one with nautilus etc...) ; second, when i try to log in, the letters are enormous and i don't see what i write ; and then, the title bars are enormous too | 09:14 |
| damaltor | warbler: with scsi? | 09:14 |
| phyburn | how would I go about getting to just a terminal and not a terminal in X | 09:14 |
| damaltor | superm401: ok. now type "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 09:14 |
| phyburn | I need to install a nvidia driver and it wants me out of X, and I keep trying to do ctlr alt delete but X keeps starting | 09:14 |
| superm401 | damaltor: I always get: "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." | 09:15 |
| antoine | i can fix the title bar problem by desactivating the windows effects | 09:15 |
| superm401 | That's the problem. | 09:15 |
| warbler | damaltor: it recognizes ide as scsi - maybe there is an issue... | 09:15 |
| Pierre | phyburn: ctrl - alt - f1 sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 09:15 |
| damaltor | SuperLag: well... your system is up to date. congrats.. | 09:15 |
| damaltor | oh sorry SuperLag | 09:15 |
| Pierre | phyburn: press "ctrl - alt - f1", login, and run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" :) | 09:15 |
| damaltor | superm401: well... your system is up to date. congrats.. | 09:15 |
| superm401 | damaltor: No, it's not. | 09:16 |
| doudou | antoine: it's probably a problem of resolution | 09:16 |
| damaltor | superm401: why do you think so? | 09:16 |
| superm401 | If I compare to the packages in UWN, it's missing a lot. | 09:16 |
| damaltor | superm401: e.g.? | 09:16 |
| doudou | antoine: if you try to move the mouse on the corner of the screen, does it move the whole screen? | 09:16 |
| superm401 | For instance, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/gutsy-changes/2007-October/009972.html says kdesudo is now kdesudo 1.1-0ubuntu2.1 | 09:16 |
| superm401 | But I still have 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2 | 09:16 |
| antoine | doudou : yes | 09:16 |
| confuzed | stillWithFiesty, yep.. it even rips dvd before it converts to vcd format for you if you want | 09:16 |
| confuzed | I just read about it today... thought I bookmarked it but I don't see it | 09:17 |
| inflex- | YAY... upgraded from 7.04 -> 7.10 and now my wireless won't work :( | 09:17 |
| antoine | doudou : what do you mean by "move the whole screen"? | 09:17 |
| stillWithFiesty | confuzed: oh men... that's exactly what i need... i'll try to google for something and post back.. maybe it'll ring a bell | 09:17 |
| ssokolow | Is usplash inherently limited to 256-color graphics or is that just the default framebuffer video mode in Ubuntu? | 09:17 |
| damaltor | superm401: please post the file /etc/apt/sources.lst to http://nopaste.com/ | 09:17 |
| doudou | Then go in System>Scren resolution and try to choose the right resolution for your screen. May you tell me what is you graphic card and your screen (size and resolution)? | 09:17 |
| antoine | sure | 09:18 |
| damaltor | warbler: does the pc u use have scsi? everything else works well for me too, though | 09:18 |
| superm401 | damaltor, http://nopaste.com/p/aegZrgcIS | 09:18 |

| Angelica | #metal | 09:19 |
| damaltor | superm401: in the last two blocks of lines, try to uncemment the last two lines of each (there is ONE # in each line to remove. leave the lines with two #!). | 09:20 |
| warbler | damaltor: nope - nothing for that omp is scsi - there were questions earlier why the OS sees ide as scsi - no resolution though... | 09:20 |
| antoine | system>administration>screens and ... | 09:20 |
| warbler | *comp | 09:20 |
| damaltor | warbler: thats bad. but thank you though | 09:20 |
| warbler | k | 09:20 |
| doudou | Anoine: OK, try to click on the Resolution button and look if there is not a higher resolution proposed | 09:20 |
| damaltor | superm401: you will need su rights for this | 09:20 |
| antoine | doudou : no, that's the bigger resolution | 09:21 |
| superm401 | damaltor, I don't have any packages installed from multiverse. | 09:21 |
| doudou | antoine: may you give me the brand and model of your screen? | 09:21 |
| superm401 | I did it anyway, and there were still no upgrades. | 09:21 |
| damaltor | superm401: well, maybe you can get some updaten from the backports though. are you sure with that you dont have multiverse packs? | 09:21 |
| antoine | doudou : well, i'm on a laptop, so it's just a plug'n'play i guess | 09:22 |

| confuzed | stillWithFiesty, still there? | 09:23 |
| stillWithFiesty | confuzed: yep.. | 09:23 |
| damaltor | superm401: ok. well, then i dont really know. as long as there are no real BIG changes, i would consider ignoring it. maybe, the updates are being testet first, before being put into the updatabe repos. | 09:23 |
| superm401 | Anyway, thanks for trying dalmaltor. Someone will figure it out eventually. | 09:23 |

| confuzed | stillWithFiesty, nope... it's an older program, but I don't do VCD and it's not the best for DVD (I don't think?)... but because it's roots are in VCD/SVCD, I would say that it's probably a good bet | 09:28 |
| Sander_ | killahb: this is on launchpad right? | 09:28 |
| killahb | ibelieve so | 09:29 |
| Sander_ | killahb: cause my hdd on this notebook died a week after ubuntu was installed and now I think there is a relation ;) | 09:29 |
| confuzed | stillWithFiesty, it's hard to find anything still actively developed that will deal with VCD... everyone has moved to dvd now that the drives and disks are cheaper per/MB | 09:29 |
| Sander_ | killahb: or do you know the commands yourself? | 09:29 |
| killahb | doubt it.... it would take months | 09:29 |
| killahb | yeah 1 sec | 09:29 |
| stillWithFiesty | confuzed: ah yes... i've seen the one's for dvd's.. problem is i don't have a dvd burner (and i should get one since vcd's are obsolete)... this is perfect though... if i can make it work | 09:29 |

I downloaded Nuvola again and tried to reinstall it by drag-and-drop from the desktop into the Appearance Manager window. I get a message to say that it has been installed, but when I try to apply it, nothing happens. If I try to customise the current theme with the Nuvola icons, nothing happens. Any ideas, please? | 09:53 |

| DrUnKnMuNkY | hey everyone, i'm having problems with pidgin. it doesn't seem to want to stay open for more than 30 seconds or so. this problem seems to come and go. anyone have any suggestions? | 09:59 |
| killahb | xeer .... its a glitch in the system, it happens when they patch something | 09:59 |
| xeer | kind of like black cats walking by? | 09:59 |
| killahb | ;) | 09:59 |
| OpenSorce | xeer, :-) | 10:00 |
| ambro415 | defrysk: which instructions? when I click the button to download themes a dialog opens and closes immediatedly and nothing gets downloaded | 10:00 |
| xeer | i'd expect the black square that represents the system cursor to be at the same region the remote computer has the cursor. | 10:01 |
| warbler | trym: did you install the right driver from restricted drivers? | 10:03 |
| defrysk | ambro415, when you open the emerald themer and open the repositories tab you can see at the bottom a txt about aunning a command in the shell | 10:06 |
| defrysk | for that you need to install the svn-workbench | 10:06 |
| HeartyLove | hi | 10:07 |
| brade1 | im trying to set up a sharing folder between windows and ubuntu through virtualbox and when i type in the command virtualbox gave me for ubuntu it said "only root can do that" | 10:08 |
| brade1 | can u please tell me how i can enable the sharin folder | 10:08 |
| brade1 | ? | 10:11 |
| DisabledDuck | going on personal opinion, which do you guys prefer, mozilla or evolution? | 10:11 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there a way to make the blinking taskbar buttons any more prominent like they are in windows? | 10:13 |
| JackMayol | hello | 10:13 |
| JackMayol | is this the right room for some Ubuntu support ? | 10:13 |
| dingdangdong | JackMayol: that's right | 10:14 |
| brade1 | can anyone help me?? | 10:15 |
| ben_underscore | brade1: do you want to share a folder? | 10:15 |
| nikita | in which gutsy repository can i get apache 1.3 ? | 10:15 |
| Bij2 | I know this might be a bad idea but can I install drivers and a Tv Tuner APP in Wine or cedega and hope that it run on Linux? | 10:15 |
| Flynsarmy | brade1: System - Administration - Shared Folders | 10:15 |
| brade1 | Flynsarmy> thankyou | 10:15 |
| JackMayol | I'm quite new to linux (ubuntu) and I wonder why xorg+TVtime takes 75% CPU load, I have an ATI x800pro (drivers 8.40), I tried upgrading my ATI drivers to 8.42 but it's even worse (90% CPU....). Is this porblem known ? It's very annoying | 10:16 |
| Flynsarmy | brade1: If you need root privileges you need to use the sudo command | 10:16 |
| brade1 | oh | 10:16 |
| brade1 | Flynsarmy> i have set up where i want the shared folder to be and it gave me a command to use in linux so i typed it in and it said only root can do that | 10:17 |
| brade1 | so do u know what i shuld type in? | 10:17 |
| trym | how could I catch this exception: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/RMagick.rb:1413:in `method_missing': undefined method `object_id2name' for :change_geometry:Symbol (NoMethodError) | 10:17 |
| Flynsarmy | brade1: Open virtual box with sudo virtualbox i suppose. I've never used it before. I use samba to network windows and ubuntu | 10:18 |
| brade1 | Flynsarmy> where and what is sudo virtualbox? | 10:19 |
| brade1 | Flynsarmy> im a newbie | 10:19 |
| Flynsarmy | brade1: sudo is a command you type into terminal when you want to use something with root privileges | 10:19 |
| ben_underscore | i just turned my desktop effects to "none" from "extra" and the memory usage dropped by 20%! | 10:19 |
| Flynsarmy | !sudo > brade1 | 10:19 |
| brade1 | ok thanks | 10:20 |
| JackMayol | hmm | 10:20 |
| === Hawkins is now known as Morclye | ||
| Flynsarmy | brade1: dw about it. i'm a newbie too :P | 10:20 |
| brade1 | Flynsarmy> ok kool | 10:20 |
| tomg | good morning :) | 10:20 |
| NeoTubNinja | what is the difference between using sudo and just using su to become root? | 10:20 |
| tomg | likely stupid question - but how can I get wget to name the outputted file equal to the input url? | 10:21 |
| tomg | so if I go wget apple.com | 10:21 |
| tomg | the output is named apple.com | 10:21 |
| khar | do you know any other download manager than wget for gnome? | 10:22 |
| tomg | not using gnome | 10:22 |
| tomg | :( | 10:22 |
| ben_underscore | NeoTubNinja: in theory you shouldn't have a root account as it is "less secure" than using sudo | 10:22 |
| DreamLiner | hi | 10:22 |
| JackMayol | too much traffic in this channel to not oversee a question >_< | 10:22 |
| DreamLiner | my usb hard disk is no longer writeable, but just readable. How do i mount it ar writeable? | 10:22 |
| OliVkA | Who from in Russia? | 10:22 |
| brade1 | Flynsarmy> mount -t vboxsf share mount_point is what virtualbox gave me to use in linux for sharing my music folder | 10:23 |
| gordonjcp | DreamLiner: mount -o remount,rw <dev> <mount> | 10:23 |
| Bij2 | Should I try to Install WIne to get my Tv Tuner to work. I mean is it possible to get some devices to work like that? | 10:23 |
| brade1 | Flynsarmy> what do i need to with that so i can use it? and acess my music on windows to put onto ubuntu | 10:23 |
| Flynsarmy | brade1: I suppose you type that command into a terminal. Replace mount_point with the location you want to mount the virtual folder | 10:24 |
| gordonjcp | Bij2: generally no | 10:25 |
| gordonjcp | Bij2: what kind of tuner is it? | 10:25 |
| Flynsarmy | brade1: Make sure you stick sudo on the start of that command or it probably won't work | 10:25 |
| brade1 | Flynsarmy> ok | 10:25 |
| zgmf-x20a | hey anyone know if there is a linux dc++ channel | 10:25 |
| zgmf-x20a | ? | 10:25 |
| Bij2 | gordonjcp: Chipset is Philips saa7134 | 10:25 |
| Bij2 | Tuner card is techCom internal but not sure of the name | 10:25 |
| Flynsarmy | Question: If i compile/install the latest firefox (2.0.0.9) from source will i lose all my extensions etc or would it be the same as if firefox had autoupdated? | 10:26 |
| JackMayol | so annyone a clue about the CPU load of xorg+TV software with an ATI ? | 10:26 |
| brade1 | Flynsarmy> wuld that be in the location of where my music is? | 10:26 |
| Name141 | hello, I would like to know how to tuff off/on the NIC by the terminal ? | 10:26 |
| OpenSorce | Bij2, I have that chipset on my MSI TV@nywhere Plus | 10:26 |
| Name141 | I forgot to copy it. | 10:26 |
| Bij2 | OpenSorce: You got it to work>\???? | 10:26 |
| amokbob | #qip | 10:26 |
| Bij2 | OpenSorce: Ive tried TvTime, Mythtv, scantv,xawtv | 10:27 |
| buttercups | zgmf-x20a, #linuxdc++ | 10:27 |
| OpenSorce | Bij2, watching it now....what kind of issues are you having? | 10:27 |
| DreamLiner | it still doesnt mount | 10:27 |
| Bij2 | Well I couldnt get video | 10:27 |
| DreamLiner | i try to delete or create something | 10:27 |
| DreamLiner | and kubuntu replies "unable to create" | 10:27 |
| Flynsarmy | brade1: No idea, sorry. You'd be best asking someone who actually uses the software | 10:27 |
| Bij2 | I tried various numbers and got video on modprobe saa7134 card=3 tuner=69 but no audio | 10:27 |
| zgmf-x20a | buttercups: cool thanks man | 10:27 |
| Bij2 | OpenSorce: I have a cable running from my tuner to my sound card also | 10:28 |
| Bij2 | But cant get sound :( | 10:28 |
| Name141 | Someone suggested something like.. sodo eth0 link down ? or something like that ? | 10:28 |
| brade1 | Flynsarmy> ok thanks | 10:28 |
| OpenSorce | Bij2, ok.....I ran into that with xawtv in Kubuntu.......I think that's exactly they way I had mine setup.....let me look and see how it's setup on this distro.... | 10:28 |
| nalpha | what's is the best open source software to record ip traffic in my local area network? | 10:28 |
| Bij2 | Ive posted this here at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599181 | 10:29 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: what exactly are you trying to do? | 10:29 |
| Alloos1 | hi, Last time I use the computer I changed my user privilages, and now I cant perform tasks with root, any solution? | 10:30 |
| OpenSorce | Bij2, yep....card=3 tuner=69 on this distro too | 10:30 |

| Alloos1 | fatbrain: AMAROK | 10:31 |
| fatbrain | Alloos1: It didn't work for me on amd64 | 10:31 |
| fatbrain | crashed when I tried to play a mp3 | 10:31 |
| DreamLiner | my usb hard disk is no longer writeable, but just readable. Remounting didnt work. Is there a solution except formatting? | 10:31 |
| Bij2 | OpenSorce: I dont know why I cant get audio, Ive checkd in my audio preference and I dont have a capture tab anywhere, And I have gone into preferences and selected everythign in there | 10:32 |
| art | HELLO | 10:32 |
| khar | do you know any other download manager than wget for gnome? | 10:32 |
| Alloos1 | fatbrain: it should, install from package manager | 10:32 |
| defrysk | gweget | 10:32 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: I want to have traficc record log in LAN, and the software just run in my server and it will detect all local area network traffic... like that. so if i have 192.168.1.5 for gateway internet, i have traffic record in MB, ip address who connect to 192.168.1.5 liek that and so antoher traffic. | 10:32 |
| defrysk | gwget | 10:32 |

| art | *verssion | 10:32 |
| fatbrain | Alloos1: that's where I installed it from last time (tried it twice) guess I could give it one more try | 10:32 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: ah, graphing the amount of traffic rather than actually monitoring what the traffic is? | 10:32 |
| OpenSorce | Bij2, by default your tv card should have it's audio on......in your sound prefs under input you might try selecting mic and line in and turn both up | 10:33 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: yess... and it's must be simpel installation and complete information :D | 10:33 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: I'm tryng many software, but it's difficult to install and difficult to use :( | 10:33 |
| OpenSorce | Bij2, assuming your's is setup like mine you just have a cable running into either mic or line or aux.....? | 10:33 |

| gogeta | FiShYmAn dont knoe maybe | 10:39 |
| gogeta | FiShYmAn never tryed | 10:39 |
| inflex | it's a PCMCIA card in a Ricoh PCMCIA to PCI adapter card in a normal PC | 10:39 |
| AndrewB | FiShYmAn: completely depends on the new hardware. If you have the kernel modules compiled in the current kernel etc | 10:40 |
| inflex | the PCMCIA adapter is detected, the card is detected... but it never 'connects' to the wifi network anymore | 10:40 |

| FiShYmAn | not really... | 10:40 |
| inflex | Xyc0: else perhaps you mean things like ffmpeg or mencoder | 10:40 |

| qazibasit_ | what is an ACPI error | 10:50 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: probably the easiest way to do it would be to get a switch that supports SNMP traffic measurement | 10:50 |
| times9 | chuy_max: yea adding it to the startup scripts would work, don't know if there's abetter place to put it | 10:50 |
| gogeta | qazibasit_ the power mangment | 10:50 |
| qazibasit_ | ok | 10:50 |
| qazibasit_ | gogeta: i am having some ACPI error | 10:50 |
| qazibasit_ | what does that mean | 10:50 |
| gogeta | qazibasit_ well pastbin it | 10:50 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: so there is a software do you guess that can be installed to my server? | 10:50 |
| gogeta | qazibasit_ see what we can do | 10:50 |
| qazibasit_ | ok | 10:51 |

| sponix | anyone in here using Rosewill RC-208 Hard Drive Controller Cards? | 10:51 |

| gogeta | qazibasit_ if its a desktop acpi isnt relly neded | 10:51 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: if you're trying to measure traffic per host going over a network, then not really, no | 10:51 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: just want to log my internet traffice and other sserver? | 10:51 |
| qazibasit_ | well it says unable to load ACPI and the screen goes blank | 10:51 |
| cast | i've heard that with amd64 the limit isn't 2^64 but rather 2^40 but that's still 1TB | 10:52 |
| gogeta | qazibasit_ desktop? | 10:52 |
| qazibasit_ | but in recovery mode its working fine | 10:52 |
| qazibasit_ | yes | 10:52 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: I don't understand what you're asking | 10:52 |

| Wa1337 | lol gogeta i think it worked =] | 10:52 |
| gogeta | qazibasit_ then add acpi=off to grub | 10:52 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: sry for the english, do you ever hear about zenoss? | 10:52 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: nope | 10:52 |
| qazibasit_ | just by writing it | 10:53 |
| Wa1337 | gogeta - i still have a black screenn flashing | 10:53 |
| qazibasit_ | or how? | 10:53 |
| Wa1337 | =[ | 10:53 |
| orkungunay | ppcguy, hi my friend, i removed dillo and install swiftfox succesfully.. : )) | 10:53 |
| Don64 | boontoo: sudo mount -o loop <iso-filename> <mount point> | 10:53 |
| Spooks | Ahoy! | 10:53 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: yes i mean just want to know the total bandwith used for each host... :D | 10:53 |
| gogeta | qazibasit_ well you can add it to the grub list so you dont need to type | 10:53 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: as in, which host is using the most traffic from your internet connection? | 10:54 |
| gogeta | qazibasit_ but yes use edit in grub and add acpi=off | 10:54 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: correct :D | 10:54 |
| gogeta | for a test run | 10:54 |
| qazibasit_ | thanks gogeta | 10:54 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: yeah, basically you need a switch that supports SNMP traffic measurement, like I said | 10:54 |
| qazibasit_ | gogeta: thanks let me try it | 10:54 |
| Wa1337 | gogeta - there is still no difference S: | 10:55 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: there is no free software? :D Except buying new Switch? | 10:55 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: no | 10:55 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: it's not a software thing | 10:55 |
| gogeta | Wa1337 so your getting a black fliker still | 10:55 |
| gogeta | Wa1337 when conpiz is on | 10:55 |
| Wa1337 | ya, black flashing kinda thing | 10:55 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: your PC should never see traffic from other PCs on the same switch | 10:55 |
| Wa1337 | yah | 10:56 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: you *could* use a hub, but that would be crap and slow | 10:56 |
| gogeta | Wa1337 sounds like its not refreshing fast enough | 10:56 |
| Atomic_UE | Is it easy enough to create an encrypted lvm partition on an external usb hdd and use it plug and play style, or would I have to do a bit of "setup" each time I plugged it in? | 10:56 |
| gogeta | Wa1337 might be a compiz issue with that card | 10:56 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: huhh... I think that we can sniffing the traffic with just only one computer :D :D | 10:56 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: so it's doesn't simpel as i think.. ... | 10:56 |
| d90 | can be "AllTray" used with compiz effect running? | 10:56 |
| Wa1337 | but the compiz nnow run better faster... the black flashing thing is just in games, etc' | 10:57 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: well, you could only sniff the traffic with one computer if you were on a hub | 10:57 |
| eko_hermiyanto | hi all | 10:57 |
| Wa1337 | and videos dont run | 10:57 |
| eko_hermiyanto | I have a problem with prn file | 10:57 |
| eko_hermiyanto | how to convert it into pdf in ubuntu? | 10:57 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: you could put a hub between your router and switch, with just one PC connected to the hub, and monitor all traffic that way | 10:57 |
| eko_hermiyanto | I have received it from other people but do not know how to print it | 10:57 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: it might be quite slow though | 10:57 |
| gogeta | Wa1337 yea i have herd of this befor tuning off compiz on games and video fixes it | 10:57 |
| Wa1337 | i will try. 1 sec | 10:57 |
| Wa1337 | i want to bee shure | 10:58 |
| Gronb | is ubuntu secure? | 10:58 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: you may be able to set your switch up to have a trunk or monitoring port that presents all traffic at all the other ports | 10:58 |
| jhaig | eko_hermiyanto: A prn is a generic Windows print file, I think. It is possibly a postscript, which you can convert to pdf using ps2pdf. | 10:58 |
| gordonjcp | nalpha: *but* - any switch clever enough to do that will do SNMP stats | 10:58 |
| Don64 | !iso | 10:58 |
| ubotu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 10:58 |
| eko_hermiyanto | jhaig, I have tried it but failed :( | 10:58 |
| jhaig | eko_hermiyanto: In a terminal, type "file thing.prn" What does it say? | 10:58 |
| nalpha | gordonjcp: hhmmm.... think... thanx for the information :D | 10:59 |

| nalpha | gordonjcp: so i will suggest my bos to but SNMP switch... | 10:59 |
| Wa1337 | gogeta - u r right :O | 10:59 |
| gogeta | Wa1337 heh | 10:59 |
| Snoopy^-^ | erdem | 10:59 |
| jhaig | eko_hermiyanto: If it is not postscript, I imagine that it is useless to anyone who does not have the exact same printer as the person who sent it to you. | 11:00 |

| eko_hermiyanto | :( | 11:03 |
| ikonia | Alloos1 thats not what I asked, I asked if your current user was setup at install time | 11:04 |
| zetheroo | whats the offtopic chat for Ubuntu? | 11:04 |

| ikonia | smmagic there are guides on help.ubuntuc.om | 11:05 |

| xishan | can some1 help me in removing gnome and its config files and then installing again? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Alloos1 why did you do that ? thats why you've broke everthing | 11:06 |
| Alloos1 | ikonia: from user administration, while logged in as the user I am using now | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Alloos1 why did you do that though ? why did you put your self in the root group and remove the admin group ? | 11:06 |
| Atomic_UE | Is it easy enough to create an encrypted lvm partition on an external usb hdd and use it plug and play style, or would I have to do a bit of "setup" each time I plugged it in? | 11:07 |

| ikonia | Alloos1 you'll have to boot into rescue mode and add your user back to the admin group, and remove your current user from the root group | 11:07 |
| Mohero | iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules | 11:07 |

| smmagic | Where do I find how to install clamav on help.ubuntu.com? | 11:07 |

| ikonia | Mohero thats not the syntax for iptables-restore | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Alloos1 no, your mofidying your users group - thats it | 11:08 |
| Mohero | ikonia: it isn't? | 11:08 |
| Atomic_UE | ikonia, having an encrypted hdd isn't a lot of hassle, but from my experience with lvm it kinda needs to be setup specificly if you expect to use a certain volume, which is what kinda worries me a bit | 11:08 |

| ikonia | Atomic_UE an encypted portable LVM disk - that will be hasle, do-able but hassle | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Alloos1 just man usermod | 11:09 |
| Atomic_UE | ikonia, what sort of hassle? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | times9 no | 11:09 |
| Atomic_UE | ikonia, might give it a shot just for the hell of it ;) | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Atomic_UE LVM has a private region on the disk - encypting that will cause the volume group issue | 11:09 |
| Alloos1 | thats the whole comand, the user name now is ali so can you give me exact command | 11:09 |
| Alloos1 | ? | 11:09 |
| times9 | ikonia: simple as that ey? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Atomic_UE you'll have to use LVM on UUID rather than /dev files - which I'm not sure is possible at this time | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Alloos1 man usermod | 11:10 |
| ikonia | times9 yup - no | 11:10 |
| Alloos1 | ikonia: thanks | 11:10 |

| arnath | hi, how do i auto-mount an nfs shared file from another computer? (also: i have to mount it on a laptop, so it may not always be there) | 11:14 |
| ikonia | arnath automount is the program you looking for :) | 11:15 |
| zgmf-x20a | i have an interesting prob if someone could help me. when i download a torrent i cannot open it with azureus... it keeps telling me that the file is "could not be opened: Not a File" how do i fix this!? | 11:15 |
| arnath | ikonia: o :D and will it error if the map in question is not available? | 11:15 |
| claudio75 | doudou: already treid :( | 11:15 |
| ikonia | arnath not really error, just not moount the device so you'll go into an empty directory | 11:15 |
| bloony | how can I setup so theres a small window of the app I'm alt-tabing to? | 11:16 |
| arnath | ikonia: great :) | 11:16 |
| doudou | Sorry, I can't help... :'( | 11:16 |
| ikonia | arnath it may depending on your NFS version lag a little while it trys to connect | 11:16 |
| mario | ikonia: yeah, video problems when booting into command line. if i set any vga= boot options the screen boots to blank. but if i just leave it as normal, it boots into a really small reso which lets me see about 13 lines of prompt before going off screen requiring a clear to get it up so i can see it again | 11:16 |
| arnath | ikonia: thats ok :p | 11:16 |
| arnath | ikonia: is "automount" installed by default on ubunut? | 11:17 |
| boontoo | !acetone | 11:17 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about acetone - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:17 |
| ikonia | mario vga=ask | 11:17 |
| Bij2 | Can anyone point me to a Virtualbox tutorial of installing XP or 98 which is for gutsy | 11:18 |
| arnath | ikonia: hmm, where do i find "gnome-volume-manager" (which seems to be the ubuntu auto-mount thingy right?) | 11:18 |
| ikonia | arnath no, but it should probably be a dependency on nfs | 11:18 |
| Mohero | ikonia: what is the santax to use for iptables-restore? if I run iptables-restore /etc/iptables.up.rules it works fine, but in the script as a cron job, it doesn't work | 11:18 |
| ikonia | arnath: gnome-volume-manager is not "automount" - you want NFS's automoounter | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Mohero have a look at that script | 11:19 |
| arnath | ikonia: autofs ? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | arnath: oooh good question, not sure if thats the package name, sounds likley though | 11:19 |
| === dzb is now known as dzb_ | ||
| Mohero | ikonia: which script? the one I've written | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Mohero: I thought iptables-restore read from a names file | 11:20 |
| Don64 | !info acetone | 11:20 |
| ubotu | Package acetone does not exist in gutsy | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Mohero: I'm not aware you can do iptbles-restore <$file | 11:20 |
| bloony | how can I setup so theres a small window of the app I'm alt-tabing to? | 11:20 |
| === dzb_ is now known as dzb__ | ||
| Mohero | ikonia: works manually, just not in the script. | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Mohero: very interesting, I didn't know you can do that | 11:20 |
| mario | ikonia: i tried vga=ask aswell, but it gave me no options for reso, only options for combinations of columns and lines. all options are 80 x n, so i tried the lowest line number 80x25, which is exactly the same as what i was having problems with | 11:21 |
| Mohero | ikonia: ok, is there a *propper* way to get it to read a rules file and apply them? | 11:21 |
| arnath | ikonia: not sure where to go next, i have autofs installed, but it doesn't work on commandline, and i don't see an interface anywhere | 11:21 |
| ikonia | mario what video card is this on | 11:21 |
| ikonia | arnath there is no gui, you have to setup NFS autmoount maps, | 11:21 |
| ikonia | arnath: apologies you sounded like you where confident with NFS so I didn't expand | 11:22 |
| yassine | is there no package for fastcgi for lighthttpd? | 11:22 |
| mario | ikonia: its a compaq armada m700 laptop, i think its an ATI mobility RAGE card. | 11:22 |
| arnath | ikonia: this is the first time that my entire network is linux-only, so before i always used samba :s | 11:22 |
| Spooks | I'm receiving the "VCD Protocol Source Plugin" not being installed error: anyone know what file/files exactly I need to be installing? | 11:22 |
| Mohero | ikonia: you should take lots of credit points too, you seem very helpful here ;) | 11:22 |
| ikonia | arnath have a quick google for "NFS automount maps" and it will give you a basic "how to use automounter" style intro, better than I can | 11:22 |
| arnath | ikonia: ok will do, thanks :) | 11:23 |
| zgmf-x20a | what is gnome-desktop? | 11:23 |
| ikonia | arnath the principal is you basiclly have a map file say NFS:10.11.216.1/export/home /home and when you "cd /home" on local box automountd will mount /exprt/home on /home for you | 11:23 |
| ikonia | arnath but a google search will go into more detail and explain it, if you want example map files I'll provide them for you | 11:24 |
| ikonia | Mohero: thank you, appiciated | 11:24 |
| zgmf-x20a | what is gnome-desktop? and what happens if i remove it? i want to get rid of this lowsy bottorrent client... | 11:24 |
| arnath | ikonia: that would be nice :) | 11:24 |
| ikonia | zgmf-x20a gnome-desktop is a meta package for the ubuntu install gnome desktop | 11:24 |
| ikonia | arnath do a google search and give me a nudge when you're ready and I'll find you some map files from my network | 11:25 |
| zgmf-x20a | ikonia: so what happens if i remove it? | 11:25 |
| arnath | ikonia: ok, will do :) | 11:25 |
| ikonia | arnath nice thing is NFS automount is platofrm generic so you can have hpux/solaris/$linux using the same nfs mounts/maps | 11:25 |
| RainCT | hi | 11:25 |
| ikonia | zgmf-x20a it will remove the meta package and anything that references it will not work eg: at ubuntu upgade time it checks the version of gnome-desktop | 11:25 |
| arnath | ikonia: nice :o | 11:26 |
| zgmf-x20a | ikonia: crap!... grrr.... why tie that silly and bad bittorrent client to that!?!?!?!? | 11:26 |
| zgmf-x20a | argh | 11:26 |
| zgmf-x20a | lol | 11:26 |
| zgmf-x20a | FRUSTRATION! | 11:26 |
| ikonia | arnath: have a read and if you want me to expand on it I'd be happy to do so and we'll take it into #ubuntu-fftopic | 11:26 |
| ikonia | zgmf-x20a because most peopel wnat it. Why do you want to remove it so bad, just don't use it | 11:26 |
| Pici | zgmf-x20a: Whats the problem, the client is very small, just replace it with something else. | 11:26 |
| ikonia | Pici: ahh the sensible approach | 11:27 |
| zgmf-x20a | thats what im trying to do but i keep getting error messages! | 11:27 |
| zgmf-x20a | and im trying dc++ but that is going in circles | 11:27 |
| raphiq | #polska | 11:27 |
| ikonia | zgmf-x20a: do'nt remove it - just USE something else, its ery small and helps the majority of people | 11:27 |
| zgmf-x20a | linuxdc++ | 11:27 |
| arnath | ikonia: i "think" i get it, though the options in the map file are a bit vague | 11:27 |
| eko_hermiyanto | hello anyone knows about prn files? | 11:27 |
| eko_hermiyanto | and how to open it in ubuntu? | 11:27 |
| mario | ikonia: actually make that an ATI Rage Pro Mobility | 11:27 |
| Mohero | Ikonia: do you know of a way to get IPTables to read a file? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | arnath ok, do you want me to dig out some map files | 11:27 |
| eko_hermiyanto | I have lot of trouble with it | 11:27 |
| Pici | eko_hermiyanto: What is a prn file? | 11:28 |
| ikonia | Mohero ahhh now that I do, I wrote a script that loops thorugh a "rules" file and basiclly does iptables -F $rules_file_variable" | 11:28 |
| arnath | ikonia: hmm, possibly rather explain what -rw,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 means :) | 11:28 |
| eko_hermiyanto | Pici, it's like postscript but usually is used in microsoft windows environment | 11:28 |
| eko_hermiyanto | one of the employee in my office received this kind of file | 11:29 |
| Mohero | ikonia: ok, i'm not *great* at scripts yet... unfortunatly from a windoze background.... | 11:29 |
| eko_hermiyanto | and send it to me to print it | 11:29 |
| ikonia | arnath ok - so -rw is "read write" soft is a "soft" mount which I 'll explain data, the r-size and wsize is the read "cache" stored for read and writes | 11:29 |
| eko_hermiyanto | but it's very difficult for me | 11:29 |
| ikonia | Mohero this may sound a little backwards, but take a look at the redhat iptables script that is a good example to work from | 11:29 |
| arnath | ikonia: do most of those come with default values or do you have to specify them for each mount? | 11:29 |
| Mohero | ikonia: ok thanks. | 11:29 |
| ikonia | arnath I specify as I'm not certin if or what th edefaults are | 11:29 |
| arnath | ikonia: o | 11:30 |
| === marko-_-_ is now known as marko--- | ||
| Pici | eko_hermiyanto: try running `file filename.prn` perhaps Linux thinks its something else. | 11:30 |
| === marko--- is now known as marko-_- | ||
| ikonia | Pici: is it a porn file ? | 11:30 |
| `LePGeL[BoY] | asdf | 11:30 |
| arnath | ikonia: what is the general rule for determining the size of the rsize & wsize? or is 8192 good in general? | 11:30 |
| ikonia | arnath: think about how big your mount is - how much ram you have on your machine and how much you want to cache/buffer ? | 11:31 |
| Pici | ikonia: no :p | 11:31 |
| ikonia | arnath: its basiclly a read and write buffer options | 11:31 |
| arnath | ikonia: mount is pretty big -> 140-ish gig, and 2 gig ram on both machines | 11:31 |
| arnath | ikonia: so what does "intr" do? | 11:32 |
| ePax | !realplayer | 11:32 |

| ikonia | arnath that could mean anything in samba, you'd have to drill down more than that | 11:34 |
| Don64 | Pici: ok | 11:34 |

| helge | hi, quick q, if you dont have a cd-rom nor floppy, any possible way to get ubuntu installed? like for example, via usb flash stick | 11:45 |
| arnath | ikonia: i added to /etc/auto.master one line -> /media/external /etc/auto.external --timeout 60 | 11:45 |
| ikonia | helge that is possible but hassle, and your motherboard must support usb booting | 11:45 |
| Reng | <IdleOne>i was wonder if there is a commandline that helps you find and install all the dependence for you | 11:45 |
| helge | yes, it does | 11:45 |
| aboo0ood | How can i mount my CD-ROM ? | 11:46 |
| helge | any guides I could go over to accomplish it? | 11:46 |

| IdleOne | Reng: if I dont know what you are trying to install then I dont know what depends you need . | 11:46 |
| ikonia | arnath: is /media/extneral NFS shared and you need to specify a host for NFS | 11:46 |

| burwaco | ikonia: didn't you upgrade last night, sorry must confuse you with someone else, you were helping someone with compiz right ? | 11:48 |
| arnath | ikonia: i did /etc/init.d/autofs restart and got "couldn't stop automount for /media/external" and "failed to start automount point /media/external" | 11:48 |
| ikonia | burwaco I've not done an ubuntu update in a few days | 11:48 |

| Metal03 | Hi there, is there a way to extract a *.uha file in Linux? | 11:50 |
| ikonia | arnath: easy mistake to make ;) | 11:50 |
| arnath | ikonia: so how does this work? i browse to /media/external, but there's nothing in there? | 11:50 |
| ikonia | arnath I'll need to do some research as a.) I don't know how ot handle USB disks with nfs b.) you'll need to make sure you have your /etc/exports file setup correct for NFS shares | 11:50 |
| arnath | ikonia: i have commented out the usb stick, gonna try to fix the normal dir first | 11:51 |

| xianai | hi | 11:52 |
| arnath | ikonia: i have changed nothing about /etc/exports, this may be the problem | 11:52 |
| Metal03 | So anyone know about extrating a .uha file? | 11:53 |
| xianai | arnath: hi, can you see my typings ? | 11:53 |
| ikonia | arnath /etc/exports is your "shares" so if your not sharing anything - nothing for automounter to mount | 11:53 |
| co_black_devil | surabay | 11:53 |
| xianai | ikonia: /etc/exports is for NFS | 11:54 |
| ikonia | xianai I know | 11:54 |
| xianai | ikonia: :) | 11:54 |
| ikonia | why is that a problem ? | 11:54 |
| arnath | xianai: yes | 11:54 |
| arnath | ikonia: ah, you mean /etc/exports on the server, sorry, i thought on the client, will check | 11:54 |
| ikonia | arnath: thats right | 11:55 |
| xianai | ikonia: I am testing my irc client,haha | 11:55 |
| Pici | Metal03: Take a look here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=203293 (I have no idea if this will work) | 11:55 |

| dgjones | Gatestone, i don't use it, but I seem to remember that Kubuntu had an option to let you automatically change the background every few minutes, there was something for Ubuntu that did a similar thing, but I can't remember the name of it | 12:00 |

| ikonia | arnath: not sure what its called on ubuntu - check the package descirption | 12:00 |

| ubotu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 12:00 |
| xianai | ikonia: he'd check if the kernel does not support NFS of course | 12:00 |
| ikonia | arnath: its normally something simple like "nfs-client" | 12:00 |
| Serge | xianai: then how i can access this account from the another machine?:) | 12:01 |
| arnath | ikonia: hmm i looked for nfs in the title only, but there is nothing with "client" it seems | 12:01 |
| Serge | by putty | 12:01 |
| Pici | !ssh | Serge | 12:01 |
| ubotu | Serge: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 12:01 |
| xianai | Serge: yeah,ssh | 12:01 |
| ikonia | xianai you don't need to recompile your kernel to do that, and the default ubuntu one does hence why nfs-server packages are available, think efore telling people to recompile their kernel | 12:01 |
| ikonia | arnath one moment | 12:01 |
| arnath | ikonia: ok | 12:01 |
| domaevn | xianai, thats exactly what i want to ask, about support :) look, celeron m 520 supports 64bit archeticture as i can see on the net. but a guy told me its not really 64bit architecture. so is it or not?:) | 12:01 |
| Moduliz0r | What GUI program would I use to rip a DVD to iPod MP4? | 12:02 |
| Serge | but it is possible to access the machine with my default ubuntu account? | 12:02 |
| ikonia | Moduliz0r tons of options, dvd:rip for example, look in synptic see what you fnacy | 12:02 |
| Pici | Serge: Yes, but you need the ssh server installed. | 12:02 |
| sashimi | IdleOne> thx, but there isn't anything relevant to monkey's audio codec on that page. damn stupid proprietary format :s | 12:02 |
| Serge | Pici: do you know about radmin?) | 12:02 |
| Moduliz0r | ok | 12:02 |
| Serge | noot | 12:02 |
| Serge | putty | 12:02 |
| Pici | Serge: No, I dont, sorry. | 12:02 |

| lkthomas | anyone have any idea what cause the slow performance during installation ? | 12:03 |
| dgjones | Gatestone, there was this for Ubuntu Feisty, but whether its ok for gutsy I don't know http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_set_up_.28automatic.29_background.2Fwallpaper-changer_application_for_GNOME | 12:03 |
| Serge | Pici: can i access the machine with putty to log in from the windows machine, yeah | 12:03 |
| arnath | ikonia: ok :) | 12:03 |
| Serge | but what port to use to access it, 21? | 12:03 |
| xianai | domaevn: maybe you should check www.intel.com for the features of that cpu type, I only know that all core2s support em64 | 12:03 |
| Moduliz0r | does anyone know why I can't access much more than Google when I use my Relakks VPN? | 12:03 |
| Pici | Serge: You can, but you need to install the ssh server on ubuntu first, see the message aboev from ubotu | 12:04 |
| Pici | Serge: 22 for ssh. | 12:04 |
| Serge | yes, i have already ssh | 12:04 |
| Serge | ok | 12:04 |
| Woutifier | ssh! be silent! | 12:04 |
| Woutifier | ;) | 12:04 |
| xianai | Serge: ssh -l user remote_host | 12:04 |
| Pici | xianai: That doesnt help if you're using Putty :) | 12:04 |
| Serge | :) | 12:04 |
| Moduliz0r | well PuTTY is even simpler | 12:04 |

| skarab | i have a machine with two network interfaces, one going out to the internet, and one on this tiny local lan | 12:19 |
| tuxmaster1988 | ... | 12:19 |
| bloony | yupp.. pici wrote it :) | 12:19 |
| skarab | i'd like to forward packets from the local lan through the machine with two interfaces | 12:19 |
| skarab | but no luck so far | 12:19 |
| skarab | /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 1 | 12:20 |
| skarab | and i think the routes are all correct | 12:20 |
| gogeta | bloony for a single file its just rm file | 12:20 |
| crolle17 | i'd like to set syntax-highlighting using vim. i tried this in .vimrc: syntax on (got message: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: syntax on) as well as set syntax=on (completely ignored) | 12:20 |
| bloony | ok | 12:20 |
| roy | Pici I am new Where do I put this /topic? | 12:20 |
| bloony | sweet | 12:20 |
| Pici | roy: right where you just typed | 12:20 |
| crolle17 | can you please tell me how to force vim to make syntax highlighting? | 12:20 |
| Pici | crolle17: I believe you need to install vim-full | 12:21 |
| skarab | crolle17: enable not on | 12:21 |
| skarab | crolle17: so, try :syntax enable | 12:21 |
| orgthingy | wow! i just realized that ubuntu has bittorrent client :P | 12:21 |
| moldy | hi | 12:21 |
| traubisoda | hi all | 12:21 |
| angor | hiho | 12:21 |
| === loucas is now known as SoteriouLoucas | ||
| romrider | Hi all, probably a really quick question I set my hostname with 'hostname newname.com' and it works until I reboot... what is changing it back? | 12:21 |
| moldy | what do i need to tweak in order to be able to access the cups web interface from remote hosts? | 12:22 |
| gogeta | orgthingy yea but its kinda basic i use azures | 12:22 |
| crolle17 | Pici, alright. i install vim-full, right now. | 12:22 |
| === admin__ is now known as GhamsteR | ||
| xianai | arnath: it works for me :( | 12:22 |
| gogeta | orgthingy for its safepeer ip blocker | 12:22 |
| GhamsteR | #ubuntu-gr | 12:22 |
| crolle17 | skarab, i will try it. | 12:22 |
| orgthingy | azures for linux? | 12:22 |
| arnath | xianai: :< | 12:22 |
| gogeta | orgthingy yep | 12:22 |
| arnath | xianai: you using gutsy? | 12:22 |
| xianai | arnath: I am using debian ,sorry | 12:22 |
| xianai | :) | 12:22 |
| skarab | crolle17: otherwise, you need the full package | 12:22 |
| arnath | xianai: in my syslog, i get "mount request from unknown host" | 12:22 |
| gogeta | orgthingy its in apt-get as well | 12:22 |
| traubisoda | could somebody help me how to update gcc? apt doesn't work | 12:23 |
| suemeee | romrider, set hostname in /etc/hostname | 12:23 |
| xianai | arnath: but I think it may not be so much diff | 12:23 |
| romrider | thanks suemeee | 12:23 |
| jrib | !hostname > romrider (read the private message from ubotu) | 12:23 |
| orgthingy | how can i download this wine program thing! i went to there syt but its complicated to download for linux! | 12:23 |
| xianai | arnath: then? no hints for errors? | 12:23 |
| crolle17 | skarab, Pici yeah the full package did it. | 12:23 |
| gogeta | orgthingy sudo apt-get install wine | 12:23 |
| gogeta | orgthingy then winecfg | 12:23 |
| jrib | traubisoda: why do you want to update it and to what? | 12:23 |
| arnath | xianai: nop, just that :s | 12:24 |
| johannes | Big problem here. I need to print out a pdf, but "evince" just gives me a white window. I tried other apps from the repository with "pdf" in their name, but they can't print for some reason. What is wrong with my evince? | 12:24 |
| Niteye | i installed ATI catalyst drivers, and now desktop effects (wobbly windows, fade-outs) no longer work because compiz says "No whitelisted driver found" | 12:24 |
| traubisoda | i want to update it to 4.2.3. cut i want to install vmware | 12:24 |
| skarab | is there anything besides /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward i need to enable in the kernel to allow packet forwarding between two interfaces | 12:24 |
| Pici | Niteye: ask in #compiz-fusion about how to whitelist your driver. | 12:24 |
| jrib | !vmware > traubisoda (read the private message from ubotu) | 12:25 |
| xianai | arnath: there can be another reason, though it does not happen very often | 12:25 |
| brunodisk | ida | 12:25 |
| brunodisk | dia | 12:25 |
| gogeta | Niteye you try reenabling restreted | 12:25 |
| arnath | xianai: which is? | 12:25 |
| traubisoda | okay thx | 12:25 |
| orgthingy | gogeta: didnt understand! | 12:25 |
| ashfaq | Is their a way I get voice chat in gutsy? I mean like yahoo messenger or google talk! | 12:25 |
| Niteye | restreted? | 12:25 |
| suemeee | ashfaq, nope | 12:25 |
| xianai | arnath: that is your newly forked nfs daemon process gets killed for some reason | 12:25 |
| gogeta | orgthingy sudo apt-get install wine from the term windows | 12:25 |
| scrillaz | hmm that would have been neat though to get voice | 12:26 |
| gogeta | orgthingy when its all installed type wincfg to set it up | 12:26 |
| arnath | xianai: and how do i see if thats the case? (or how do i fix it?) | 12:26 |
| ashfaq | suemeee: You mean , just not possible? why? | 12:26 |
| orgthingy | so what should i do? | 12:26 |
| gogeta | orgthingy ? | 12:26 |
| traubisoda | i tried but it doesn't work:S | 12:26 |
| arnath | xianai: if i change /etc/exports, should i restart nfs somehow? if so -> how? | 12:26 |
| bloony | how can I make a extra drive in wine? like "d:" and then link it to a folder? | 12:26 |
| gogeta | orgthingy thats pretty clear instreucions | 12:27 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Woo, lots of people. | 12:27 |
| orgthingy | i just realized it! | 12:27 |
| orgthingy | :P | 12:27 |
| gogeta | orgthingy lol | 12:27 |
| orgthingy | sorry | 12:27 |
| ashfaq | I was advised gizmo but when downloaded it gave error wrong architecture, my machine is 64 bit amd | 12:27 |
| orgthingy | ty | 12:27 |
| xianai | arnath: for me, it is /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart | 12:28 |
| gogeta | ashfaq just install the 32 bit libs so your pc can run 32 bit programs | 12:28 |
| xianai | arnath: and you do need to restart or reload | 12:28 |
| fjfalcon | how can i see syslog from terminal ? | 12:28 |
| Downix | bah, 32-bit is so 1993..... | 12:28 |
| Caleb_Estartes | So, I hate to be so totally up front... but anyone feel like dealing with a pretty dumb question? | 12:28 |
| Downix | Caleb_Estartes, Shoot. | 12:29 |
| gogeta | Downix lol not alot of 64 bit apps out there | 12:29 |
| Pici | fjfalcon: its in /var/log/syslog use your favorite pager or editor | 12:29 |
| suemeee | ashfaq, google doesn't provide their talk client for linux and there is only one program that claims to work wih gtalk -- psi | 12:29 |
| fjfalcon | Pici, i want to see it online... | 12:29 |
| ashfaq | gogeta: Please help how do I do that! help me with the command so that I paste in terminal, Pl | 12:29 |
| Pici | fjfalcon: online? | 12:29 |
| Downix | gogeta: I've run pure 64-bit on one of my Linux machines since 1994. Admittedly, it doesn't *have* a 32-bit mode.... | 12:29 |
| suemeee | ashfaq, but I never got it to work for me | 12:29 |
| arnath | xianai: hmm, is it possible because i'm mounting as root? (i read something bout root_squash or something) | 12:29 |
| orgthingy | gogeta: and where do i get apt-get install ? | 12:29 |
| fjfalcon | Pici, i mean when it updated, automaticly show it in terminal | 12:30 |
| gordonjcp | Downix: SPARC64? | 12:30 |
| Pici | fjfalcon: tail -f /var/log/syslog | 12:30 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Well, I'm trying to set up a LAMP server that allows people to punch in my server's IP into a web browser or an FTP client, enter their username and password, and upload/download. | 12:30 |
| gogeta | Downix acully it does but thers a preformance hit | 12:30 |
| ashfaq | gogeta: what is psi? | 12:30 |
| fjfalcon | Pici, thank you | 12:30 |
| Downix | gordonjcp, That was my old Alpha. I have a SPARC now too. | 12:30 |
| gordonjcp | ah | 12:30 |
| johannes | Help. | 12:30 |
| Caleb_Estartes | I think I've got most of it done - I've installed and configured most things. Apache, this PHP thingy... | 12:30 |
| xianai | arnath: restart your nfs server and try again, man | 12:30 |
| arnath | xianai: its working now (after ir estarted the nfs-kernel-server) | 12:31 |
| Downix | gordonjcp, So when I hear "I just went 64-bit" I'm going "Join the party, we ran out of dips a few years back tho..." | 12:31 |
| xianai | arnath: OMG | 12:31 |
| xianai | arnath: so simple...... | 12:31 |
| lkthomas | guys, anyone using 64bit system with 4G of ram ? | 12:31 |
| arnath | xianai: yup :p | 12:31 |
| arnath | xianai: well, the manual mount is working, now i gotta get the automount working | 12:31 |
| Downix | lkthomas, Yes, why do you ask? | 12:31 |
| ashfaq | suemeee: so don't have any option | 12:31 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Downix: Sorry, a bit new to IRC. ~.~; | 12:31 |
| lkthomas | Downix: the speed of installation are way too slow | 12:31 |
| Downix | Caleb_Estartes, No worries, we all were at one time. | 12:31 |
| arnath | xianai: not sure how to do that | 12:31 |
| Downix | lkthomas, Which CPU/chipset? | 12:32 |
| lkthomas | Downix: response speed are so slow as well | 12:32 |
| lkthomas | Downix: core2quad, 4G RAM, intel board | 12:32 |
| xianai | arnath: well, I am not familiar with automount......., I do not use it | 12:32 |
| arnath | xianai: its autofs | 12:32 |
| ashfaq | The mike does not work in virtual box guest windows xp 64 bit | 12:32 |
| gogeta | sudo aptitude install ia32-libs | 12:32 |
| Downix | lkthomas, would help if you had a proper 64-bit CPU. On the core and core2's I found the 32-bit version was a lot faster. | 12:32 |
| xianai | arnath: yeah, not with autofs also :P | 12:32 |
| johannes | Where can I get help with evince, the document viewer? | 12:32 |
| traubisoda | still doesn't work | 12:33 |
| lkthomas | Downix: well, I want to know why am I getting slow response speed | 12:33 |
| Downix | lkthomas, From Intel, only the Xeon seems to have even a halfway decent 64-bit mode. | 12:33 |
| gogeta | that lets a 64 bit run 32 bit apps | 12:33 |
| arnath | xianai: o | 12:33 |
| Downix | lkthomas, Because your CPU doesn't handle 64-bits properly | 12:33 |
| suemeee | ashfaq, use skype :) | 12:33 |
| lkthomas | Downix: for 32bit version, I can't map all 4G RAM even PAE mode is on | 12:33 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Downix: So basically, I've got most everything installed I beleive. I've configured apache to point people into the /etc/phpmyadmin/ directory when they ftp into my server. But I'm trying to make it where they are asked for a username/password and sent to a user directory. | 12:33 |
| ashfaq | gogeta: I will try that | 12:33 |
| Downix | lkthomas, So it has to do twice the work to get the same job done. | 12:33 |
| xianai | arnath: but I think it's straight forward :) | 12:33 |
| ashfaq | suemeee: have you tried it? | 12:34 |
| xianai | arnath: why not put it in your fstab | 12:34 |
| arnath | xianai: how does fstab react when the mount is not available? (cause its on a laptop) | 12:34 |
| dooglus | which package contains the sun java6 plugin binary? | 12:35 |
| suemeee | ashfaq, yes but you can't talk to someone on gtalk It's skype to skype :) | 12:35 |
| gogeta | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 more info | 12:35 |
| void^ | !info sun-java6-plugin | 12:35 |
| Downix | lkthomas: try with the 32-bit version, you'll see a dramatic speed difference | 12:35 |
| dooglus | void^: it's empty | 12:35 |
| ubotu | sun-java6-plugin: The Java(TM) Plug-in, Java SE 6. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 6-03-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 1 kB, installed size 80 kB | 12:35 |
| lkthomas | Downix: I don't need to try, I am switching from 32bit to 64bit, you don't get the point | 12:35 |
| dooglus | void^: "size 1 kB", see? | 12:36 |
| traubisoda | jrib still doesn't work | 12:36 |
| johannes | Cool, thanks for your support everyone! | 12:36 |
| lkthomas | Downix: the point is 4GB RAM can't allocate on 32bit version | 12:36 |
| jrib | traubisoda: what did you do exactly that did not work? | 12:36 |
| dooglus | void^: it has: Depends: libasound2, libgcc1, libx11-6, libxext6, libxi6, libxp6, libxtst6, sun-java6-bin (= 6-03-0ubuntu2), firefox | iceweasel | mozilla-firefox | iceape-browser | mozilla-browser | epiphany-browser | galeon | konqueror | midbrowser | xulrunner - but none of those sound like they contain plugins | 12:36 |
| traubisoda | the doc you sent | 12:36 |
| ashfaq | suemeee: I will check it out, although! | 12:36 |
| Moduliz0r | Um, yeah | 12:36 |
| traubisoda | all of the packages are up to date | 12:37 |
| jrib | traubisoda: join me in #ubuntu-classroom | 12:37 |
| gordonjcp | Downix: heh | 12:37 |
| Moduliz0r | Can someone explain to me why Ubuntu has just been "removing ubuntu-desktop" when I removed mplayer+xine? | 12:37 |
| gordonjcp | Downix: I need to fire up my Alpha some time | 12:37 |
| ashfaq | gogeta: Its done, now will gizmo get installed? | 12:37 |
| gordonjcp | Downix: and try and remember the VMS system password ;-) | 12:37 |
| xianai | arnath: during boot time, if it takes too long for non-existing mounting point just Ctrl^C | 12:37 |
| void^ | dooglus: it seems the plugin is part of sun-java6-bin. i guess the -plugin package just creates a few symlinks. | 12:37 |
| xianai | arnath: LOL | 12:37 |
| Moduliz0r | Well it's a prompt to reinstall Ubuntu | 12:38 |

| dooglus | void^: ok, I'll look in there | 12:38 |
| beb^^arad | question : I try to install ubuntu 7.10 from an usb cdrom wich is not able to boot, the alternate distr. , anyone has a clue wich /dev is the USB cd-rom or I must to install some drivers ? | 12:38 |
| Downix | gordonjcp, Alpha was good for the day, but I'm now focused on the SPARC because, well, I can license the sucker. | 12:38 |
| gogeta | shfaq you can try | 12:38 |
| suemeee | Moduliz0r, ubuntu-desktop is a meta package. It just depends a bunch of packages looks like mplayer/xine is one of them | 12:38 |
| dooglus | void^: my reason for asking is that I run the mozilla version of firefox, not the ubuntu package, and I need to link to the java plugin in my profile | 12:38 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Downix: I'll head to that classroom thingy - I'm sure you're swamped. | 12:39 |
| Downix | Caleb_Estartes, You can say that again | 12:39 |
| gogeta | beb^^arad tell your bios to boot from a usb device that might work | 12:39 |
| xianai | arnath: but I had to say that nfs is not designed for large mount of file transfers | 12:39 |
| gogeta | beb^^arad or chane your boot order most are det as hd first | 12:39 |
| void^ | dooglus: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so which is part of sun-java6-bin | 12:39 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Downix: Hehe. I'm pretty sure I can figure my problem out - I just need a direction to go in first. | 12:39 |
| fanf | hello | 12:40 |
| dooglus | void^: that's exactly what I was looking for. thanks. | 12:40 |
| arnath | xianai: is there an alternative...? | 12:40 |
| fanf | I have a pb with the last fglxr driver ( 8.42.3 ) | 12:40 |
| dooglus | void^: this marks a first for me - I asked something vaguely tricky in #ubuntu and got a prompt, correct, helpful response! | 12:40 |
| Pici | Caleb_Estartes: try in #apache or #php or whatever whatever language you feel like doing it in :) | 12:40 |
| gogeta | beb^^arad lol | 12:41 |
| Downix | dooglus: heh, I still haven't gotten my question from yesterday answered. | 12:41 |
| gogeta | dooglus: void^ ? | 12:41 |
| xianai | arnath: If you are using kde, KIO slave makes nearly all apps transparent for sftp or ftp access | 12:41 |

| Caleb_Estartes | Pici: Thanks. :D | 12:41 |
| gordonjcp | Downix: what was your question? | 12:41 |
| arnath | xianai: gnome | 12:41 |
| dooglus | Downix: I have hundreds of unanswered questions | 12:41 |
| suemeee | dooglus, After all #ubuntu is the largest channel on Freenode :) | 12:41 |
| xianai | arnath: oh, it's a pitty :) | 12:41 |
| void^ | dooglus: there's a lot of noise in this channel, so if you ask tricky questions it's a little unlikely someone who knows the answer happens to see it :/ | 12:41 |

| arnath | xianai: i have to be able to access some drives across the network? :| | 12:45 |
| gogeta | beb^^arad did you try the cd approch | 12:45 |
| gogeta | oh yea no floppy | 12:45 |
| flithm | hey does anyone in here use qterm or pcmanx to connect to bbs'es? | 12:45 |
| beb^^arad | gogeta : try approach yes. the cd image does not work at all , or sometginh is wrong there | 12:45 |
| gogeta | beb^^arad does it support usb booting maybe you can use a flashdrive | 12:46 |
| beb^^arad | gogeta : path or something. I'm beginner eith these stuff | 12:46 |
| RickJones | good morning, does anyone know what package in needed to open file type ' *.eml' ? | 12:46 |
| suemeee | Guys Firefox 2.0.0.9 released :) | 12:46 |
| fanf | nobody find this bug ? | 12:46 |
| gogeta | beb^^arad im saying use a pendrive to boot the system if you support usb booting | 12:46 |
| neil_d | I am looking for an gtk+ example on how to attach an accelerator to a image button, can anyone help ? | 12:47 |
| beb^^arad | gogeta the pc is from 2004 . i will try . | 12:47 |
| pulseezar | can anyone help me to get my mic working? | 12:47 |
| gogeta | beb^^arad most from 200+ support this | 12:47 |
| fanf | fglxr 8.42.3, AIGLX etc OK, but second "fast user switch" => black screen | 12:47 |
| beb^^arad | gogeta .. not acer ... they dot have either bios update | 12:48 |
| xianai | arnath: I mean if your not doing sth strictly conforms to unix file system semantics, why not ftp or smb | 12:48 |
| neil_d | pulseezar: have you enabled the mic boost setting ? | 12:48 |
| pulseezar | i'm not sure, where can i find it? | 12:48 |
| gogeta | beb^^arad have you tryed the grub for dos approch | 12:48 |
| xianai | arnath: they are simple | 12:48 |
| arnath | xianai: samba wasn't working from my linux systems (it was from windows) and now i finally changed all my systems to linux, i wanted to try nfs | 12:48 |
| neil_d | pulseezar: in the preferences for the volume control. | 12:49 |
| beb^^arad | gogeta .. i tried only tghe cd approach and cd image approach | 12:49 |
| jonpv | does anyone know if there is a kernel on the alternate cd that doesn't have PAE (physical address extension) enabled? i am trying to install 7.10 on a machine where PAE causes problems | 12:49 |
| xianai | arnath: then ftp or sftp? | 12:49 |
| beb^^arad | gogeta but there as i figure out, nowhere is written how vmlinuz, i supose, mount the .iso file. | 12:49 |
| arnath | xianai: haven't set those up yet, not sure how easy they are | 12:50 |
| gogeta | http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html | 12:50 |
| void^ | arnath: sshfs is probably much more convenient than nfs, especially if you want to access several filesystems on a host and/or the connection isn't reliable | 12:50 |
| pulseezar | i can't see that option | 12:50 |
| beb^^arad | ok | 12:50 |
| gogeta | thats a automated way of doing this | 12:50 |
| beb^^arad | let see :) | 12:50 |
| pulseezar | volume control-edit-preferences is where i'm at | 12:50 |
| arnath | void^: will look into it | 12:50 |
| neil_d | pulseezar: open the 'Volume control' select 'Edit->Preferences' and select the 'Mic Boost' then click OK | 12:51 |
| Cyber_Stalker | how do i burn a cd? | 12:51 |
| Cyber_Stalker | !write | 12:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about write - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 12:51 |
| Cyber_Stalker | !burn | 12:51 |
| ubotu | CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 12:51 |
| RickJones | does anyone know how to open eml files with 7.10 ? | 12:52 |
| xianai | arnath: void^: , yeah, some other stuff using fuse will also work | 12:52 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Hmm, question, should I use vsftp or mod_ftp? | 12:52 |
| pulseezar | mmmm i definitely don't have that option... | 12:52 |
| gogeta | beb^^arad http://www.howtoforge.com/unetbootin_windows_ubuntu_fedora even more destiledguide | 12:52 |
| ja-nonnerd | vsftpd | 12:53 |
| beb^^arad | gogeta .. im reading right now . i give a try and tell you right away ! | 12:53 |
| RickJones | Cyber_Stalker, sudo apt-get install k3b | 12:53 |
| Caleb_Estartes | ja-nonnerd: Do you know if they have a channel for vsftpd? | 12:53 |
| Cyber_Stalker | RickJones: but nautilus cd burner is already installed? | 12:53 |
| RickJones | Cyber_Stalker, you asked how to burn indicating maybe you needed help, i suggested k3b because it's fat, and simple, and one of my favorites to use | 12:54 |
| Downix | I wish Ubuntu supported my old SPARC32 | 12:54 |
| Cyber_Stalker | thanks RickJones :P | 12:54 |
| RickJones | Cyber_Stalker, not fat, i mean fast | 12:54 |
| Cyber_Stalker | RickJones: ill use it | 12:54 |
| ja-nonnerd | Caleb_Estartes, nfi bro | 12:54 |
| Cyber_Stalker | RickJones: yay for 25mb download | 12:54 |
| xianai | arnath: void^: I'd still say, KDE's KIO-SLAVE is the most conv. | 12:54 |
| Cyber_Stalker | 12 minutes | 12:55 |
| Cyber_Stalker | grrrr | 12:55 |
| bloony | where is the startup script located? | 12:55 |
| arnath | void^: btw, nfs is working now, its autofs that i can't get working | 12:55 |
| Caleb_Estartes | ja-nonnerd: Haha, okay... don't suppose you know how you make vsftpd ask an end-user logging in for a login/password, do ya? | 12:55 |
| RickJones | Cyber_Stalker, i forget not every one has 12 mb cable | 12:55 |
| DAC1138 | is aiglx enabled by default in gibbon? | 12:55 |
| RickJones | !eml file extension | 12:56 |
| mjbrooks | sigh Gutsy is ignoring my ALT-SPACE even after a reboot | 12:56 |
| Cyber_Stalker | RickJones: :P some of us are from south africa on a 138dsl line that has a max speed of 30kb/s and is limited to only 3gigs of data transfer per month, mines actually limited to 2 | 12:56 |
| Cyber_Stalker | 2 gig* | 12:56 |
| RickJones | i was unaware k3b was 25 meg | 12:56 |
| DAC1138 | Cyber_Stalker, i hear ya | 12:56 |
| neil_d | RickJones: 25 milli bits ? | 12:56 |
| DAC1138 | Cyber_Stalker, coming from america, imin australia now. i've never seen a bandwidth cap until now | 12:56 |
| * RickJones sighs | 12:56 | |
| RickJones | i was unaware k3b was 25 Mb | 12:57 |
| Cyber_Stalker | DAC1138: aus also cap ? | 12:57 |
| RickJones | edit : MB | 12:57 |
| lkthomas | Downix: did you use 64G PAE support ? | 12:57 |
| gogeta | beb^^arad thers also wabi ubunti that that uses the xp partation and boot loader | 12:57 |
| DAC1138 | Cyber_Stalker, yeah. but not as bad as you guys. we get something like 8GB a month with 50kb/sec download cap | 12:57 |
| void^ | xianai: kio-slave/gnome-vfs solutions only work for software that supports it, so it's a little limited.. | 12:57 |
| Downix | lkthomas: IIRC yes. I gave up on the Core series awhile back tho for bad performance | 12:58 |
| Cyber_Stalker | DAC1138: ours isnt capped at 30kb/s its just the network is in shambles | 12:58 |
| lkthomas | Downix: I think it is a bug | 12:58 |
| Cyber_Stalker | DAC1138: its all set up by ppl who have no idea what they are doing so the exchanges just FREAK OUT | 12:58 |
| lkthomas | Downix: after enabled 64G PAE, my system can't boot up | 12:58 |
| kandinski | is anyone here a Basque speaker? I am writing about Ubuntu for a newspaper and have no way to check if the Basque translation is good, bad or average | 12:58 |
| Downix | lkthomas, oh fun. | 12:58 |
| DAC1138 | Cyber_Stalker, what happens when you reach your limit of downloads? | 12:58 |
| Downix | lkthomas, The whole core series is a bug | 12:58 |
| lkthomas | Downix: it said no buffer space | 12:58 |
| Cyber_Stalker | DAC1138: most ip's hard cap you (bye bye internet) | 12:59 |
| bloony | DAC1138: I just moved to australia to.. used to no cap from norway aswell.. | 12:59 |
| void^ | arnath: with nfs you can use mount option 'bg' | 12:59 |
| Downix | hmm | 12:59 |
| Cyber_Stalker | DAC1138: im soft capped so my speeds are limited to about 10kb/s or less | 12:59 |
| scragar | I've only noticed my cap since branson took over, before my net would be fantastic, now I'm lucky to get 500kb/s | 12:59 |
| DAC1138 | Cyber_Stalker, if we hit our limit they just slow down your internet to slow speeds, that's all | 12:59 |
| s00p | morning | 12:59 |
| frojnd | Hello there. Does anyone here has ati drivers sucessfully installed but he/she can't get compiz to work? I can't enable any of Visual effects. I get note: Desktop effects could not be enabled. Here is my xorg.conf output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43016/ | 12:59 |
| arnath | void^: which does? | 12:59 |
| DAC1138 | bloony, odd isnt it? i didnt download a lot when i had unlimited, but it just scares me that i wont be able to get updates if i need them (ie, my system crashes and i need a kernel upgrade) | 12:59 |
| mjbrooks | hmmmm compiz seems to be the thing that's eating my ALT-SPACE shortcut | 12:59 |
| xianai | void^: that's true, but for most time it's enough :) | 12:59 |
| Cyber_Stalker | frojnd: #compiz-fusion | 13:00 |
| void^ | arnath: try to mount on boot, if it fails (server/network not available), try remounting in background | 13:00 |
| jones- | hello | 13:00 |
| lkthomas | Downix: does ubuntu got PAE pre-compiled kernel ? | 13:00 |
| xianai | arnath: bg == If the first NFS mount attempt times out, retry the mount in the background | 13:00 |
| arnath | void^: you mean for fstab? | 13:00 |
| jones- | I have a wireless card based on the RT2561 and is not working in Gutsy. Can anyone help? I've tried anything I could think of. | 13:00 |
| void^ | arnath: yes | 13:00 |
| bloony | DAC1138: yeah its so anoying.. and the offpeak and onpeak thingy.. | 13:01 |
| m11 | hello | 13:01 |
| Downix | don't know, I never use a pre-made kernel | 13:01 |
| DAC1138 | bloony, it's also odd having my friends on the other side of the planet. i have to stay awake all night just to say hi to them | 13:01 |
| Cyber_Stalker | bloony: wats that? | 13:01 |
| xianai | arnath: for whenever you want a async mount | 13:01 |
| DAC1138 | bloony, never heard of offpeak onpeak | 13:01 |
| bloony | hehe | 13:01 |
| bloony | I can download 20gb onpeak and 40 gb offpeak | 13:02 |
| bloony | offpeak is between 2 am to 12 noon or something | 13:02 |
| DAC1138 | bloony, oh, peak hours of the day | 13:02 |
| DAC1138 | i get it | 13:02 |
| bloony | yupp | 13:02 |
| xianai | arnath: that means you do not need autofs, and besides, maybe you need "soft" option also | 13:02 |
| DAC1138 | heh, i never heard of it because they also didnt do the same in the USA | 13:02 |
| bloony | DAC1138: what are you doing here? | 13:03 |
| bloony | not in norway either... | 13:03 |
| arnath | xianai: what does soft do? | 13:03 |
| DAC1138 | bloony, im going to school in march. university. | 13:03 |
| bloony | DAC1138: kk where at? im in perth | 13:03 |

| DAC1138 | bloony, alice springs | 13:04 |
| void^ | arnath: "soft" and "intr" are very useful with nfs, otherwise you might end up having to reboot your system when you forget to unmount the share and get disconnected from the server. | 13:04 |
| DAC1138 | bloony, NT | 13:04 |

| xianai | xianai: I can typing in a lightening speed, if you can speak chinese, haha | 13:07 |
| Cyber_Stalker | K3b could not load or find the Mp3 decoder plugin. This means that you will not be able to create Audio CDs from Mp3 files. Many Linux distributions do not include Mp3 support for legal reasons. | 13:08 |
| Cyber_Stalker | Solution: To enable Mp3 support, please install the MAD Mp3 decoding library as well as the K3b MAD Mp3 decoder plugin (the latter may already be installed but not functional due to the missing libmad). Some | 13:08 |
| ghatak | i have an old intel card using i810 driver. I just upgraded to gusty, but i can not see desktop effects in prefrences, can i enabled it somehow ? | 13:08 |

| arnath | void^: xianai :one small question -> my usb drive on my server does not always mount, sometimes it mounts as disk-1, other times it doesnt mount (its not in fstab) anything i can do about it? | 13:09 |
| bloony | DAC1138: what are you gonna study? | 13:09 |

| b0ha | thank you pike_ | 13:09 |

| jonah | hey guys, latest azureus update gives me this error: Installing plugin azupnpav, version 0.1.7 | 13:14 |
| jonah | Data verification stage complete | 13:14 |
| jonah | Version 0.1.7 of plugin 'azupnpav' failed to install - /usr/share/azureus/plugins/azupnpav/azupnpav_0.1.7.zip (Permission denied) | 13:14 |
| jonah | can anyone help me out installing it? | 13:14 |
| gordonjcp | gogeta: yeah, but they weren't me ;-) | 13:14 |
| xianai | arnath: not a clue ? well, in that case , just pray every time you boot :P | 13:15 |
| gogeta | jonah might need to run azures via sudo for updates | 13:15 |
| gogeta | jonah normaly that what that error means | 13:15 |
| Madoo | when i try 2 install any software on ma laptop ,,,it says "cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type." | 13:15 |
| void^ | jonah: you should find the update in /tmp, so you can copy it in manually with sudo | 13:15 |
| arnath | xianai: well its sorta nasty, cause im sharing /media/disk, but to mount it myself the map /media/disk must exist, but IF it auto mounts, it sees that /media/disk already exists and mounts it to /media/disk-1, so i have to unmount and remount properly | 13:16 |
| xianai | arnath: well it seems its HAL | 13:16 |
| void^ | arnath: usb disks are automounted by hal+gnome-mount.. that's a bit of magic there i don't really know much about :] | 13:16 |
| gogeta | Madoo amd64? | 13:16 |
| jonah | void, hang on though, do you normally have to run it with sudo, are my permissions wrong or something? | 13:16 |
| Olde | I have too many options to boot from. I just want to be able to boot into version 7.10. is there anyway I can fix this? | 13:16 |
| arnath | void^: problem is, it only mounts 50% of the time | 13:16 |
| DAC1138 | so is aiglx enabled in gibbon by default? | 13:17 |
| Madoo | waddo u mean gogeta ?? | 13:17 |
| xianai | arnath: my HAL is always buggy in debian | 13:17 |
| Madoo | im new tothis stuff lol | 13:17 |
| gogeta | Madoo your pc a amd 64 | 13:17 |
| humbolto | does anybody know how to share printers in gutsy with cups? | 13:17 |
| void^ | arnath: that's probably a matter of timing, ie how fast you log in :/ | 13:17 |
| humbolto | is that even possible? | 13:17 |
| Madoo | i dont get it ?? | 13:17 |
| Madoo | umean 64 bit ? | 13:17 |
| arnath | void^: thats.............messed up :| | 13:17 |
| gogeta | Madoo yep | 13:17 |
| Madoo | no | 13:17 |
| amd432 | maddler, what processor does your computer have? | 13:17 |
| xianai | arnath: I have to download the source code and brutely remove some code , recompile it and it work for me now :D | 13:17 |
| Madoo | its 32 | 13:17 |
| arnath | void^: so probably not a good idea to add it to fstab as well then? | 13:17 |
| arnath | xianai: dammit :< | 13:17 |
| gogeta | Madoo the app a 64 bit | 13:17 |
| Garbage | hello all | 13:18 |
| void^ | jonah: to update a systemwide-installed file you need root privileges. | 13:18 |
| Madoo | u mean that i can never install it | 13:18 |
| Garbage | I have a question regarding HP Laptop | 13:18 |
| stillWithFiesty | how can i upgrade OOo in fiesty to OOo2.3? | 13:18 |
| jonah | void, so running azureus as sudo will work? | 13:18 |
| gogeta | Madoo 32 bit pcs cant run a 64 bit app | 13:18 |
| arnath | void^: xianai i also worry that nfs will start @ boot, but the usb drive might not be there, so after i manually mount usb drive, i have to restart nfs or...? | 13:18 |
| Madoo | noo | 13:18 |
| Olde | help | 13:18 |
| void^ | jonah: copying the file with sudo will work. | 13:18 |
| gogeta | Madoo but you can probly find a 32 bit version | 13:18 |
| stillWithFiesty | jonah: you really want azureus? | 13:18 |
| Garbage | anyone there for Installing Ubuntu on HP Laptop ??? | 13:18 |
| bloony | what is the alt-tab thingy called in compizconfig?? | 13:18 |
| Madoo | i have a laptop and a PC both 32 bits,,,in ma PC they worked but not on da PC | 13:19 |
| dennda | Garbage: specify your question | 13:19 |
| gogeta | Madoo i dont knoe any 64 bit apps that dont have a 32 bit compile | 13:19 |
| Madoo | not on da Laptop ** | 13:19 |
| Olde | I have too many options to boot from. I just want to be able to boot into version 7.10. is there anyway I can fix this? | 13:19 |
| Garbage | I have a HP dv6000 series Laptop | 13:19 |
| Madoo | look | 13:19 |
| arnath | void^: well i'm gonna reboot and give it a try | 13:19 |
| Madoo | fro example | 13:19 |
| Garbage | I can't istall Ubuntu on it | 13:19 |
| void^ | arnath: yes, probably. nfs only exports single filesystems anyway, so you have to add (and mount) an nfs export for your usb mountpoint. might be easier to disable automounting in gnome/hal and go with a fixed mountpoint and fstab entry | 13:19 |
| xianai | arnath: Good luck man :) | 13:19 |
| jonah | stillWithFiesty, it's not so much i want it, i already have it and it gets good speeds for me | 13:19 |
| Madoo | i go 2 the terminal and try 2 install Beryl | 13:19 |
| whatspy | hi, my CDROM drive keeps flashing and won't open, the CDROM icon is neither on the desktop nor in "Computer", how can I fix that, maybe reinstall drivers | 13:19 |
| richard | Hi, anyone know of issues regarding the new ATI driver? | 13:20 |
| Madoo | it duznt workkk? | 13:20 |
| gogeta | Madoo gusty? | 13:20 |
| amd432 | Garbage, what are the specs of the laptop? | 13:20 |
| arnath | void^: but disabling automount in hal, will also prevent other things from being automounted right? (like usb stick, camera...) | 13:20 |
| arnath | xianai: i'll need it :p | 13:20 |
| bloony | what is the alt-tab thingy called in compizconfig?? | 13:20 |
| Madoo | no feisty | 13:20 |
| gogeta | Madoo beryl is dead and gusty has compiz fusion | 13:20 |
| nils__ | acker | 13:20 |
| Garbage | AMD Turion 64x2 | 13:21 |
| Madoo | im a Feisty | 13:21 |
| stillWithFiesty | jonah: hmm... yeah i guess the speed factor is a plus. but i stuck with bittorrent because it simply works better... | 13:21 |
| Garbage | nVidia GeForce 7150 | 13:21 |
| void^ | arnath: well, it can be configured on a per-device basis i think, so you can disable it for a specific disk or specify a fixed mountpoint for a disk, but i don't really know how | 13:21 |
| Olde | Madoo, are you running a 32 or 64 bit system | 13:21 |
| MasterShrek | so i want to stop ubuntu from upgrading my kernel through apt as i am using a custom kernel, anyone know how to do that? | 13:21 |
| sladen | ssokolow: normally usplash is rendering a 256 colour image onto a 16-bit framebuffer | 13:21 |
| Madoo | 32 | 13:21 |
| arnath | void^: ah, the how was gonna be my next question, damn :p | 13:21 |
| wastrel | oh look at that | 13:21 |
| Olde | ok, you gotta run 32 bit apps on it | 13:21 |
| stillWithFiesty | can i upgrade openoffice to 2.3 without getting gutsy? | 13:21 |
| gogeta | Madoo sounds like its downloading the 64 bit package if its saying failed wrong arc type i386 | 13:21 |
| Olde | 64 is basically double what you're trying to install | 13:21 |
| Madoo | ok i did but they didnt work dude | 13:21 |
| xianai | arnath: no disabling HAL itself, many other things depend on HAL , just disable a policy line of HAL but that also maybe tooooo complex for you | 13:22 |
| Garbage | I can't install Feisty Fawn on it' | 13:22 |
| gogeta | Madoo you cant run 64 bit on a 32 bit pc you need he 32 bt pakcages | 13:22 |
| Olde | which app are you trying to use Madoo | 13:22 |
| arnath | xianai: most likely, i guess there's no nice cli/gui interface for it? | 13:22 |
| Madoo | mado@mado-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install vlc | 13:22 |

| Olde | System<Admin>software sources | 13:24 |
| xianai | arnath: but I guess that if you put that in fstab will be ok | 13:24 |
| Garbage | I don't remember exact error message | 13:24 |
| Madoo | so i shuold update 2 a Gusty | 13:24 |

| xianai | arnath: no idea about gnome-XXX, i am a kde boy :D | 13:25 |
| Olde | Gutsy's a little easier to work with too man | 13:25 |
| Garbage | I think it's bcoz my Processor is 64 bit | 13:25 |
| Madoo | ok | 13:25 |
| gogeta | i coulda swore all the 7.06 got 7.10 via system update | 13:25 |
| Pici | gogeta: incorrect. | 13:25 |

| Madoo | Your system is up-to-date | 13:26 |
| Madoo | There are no upgrades available for your system. The upgrade will now be canceled. | 13:26 |
| Evanlec | Garbage, yea 32 or 64 bit has nothin to do with that error | 13:26 |
| Garbage | amd432: so, what to do now ?? | 13:26 |
| Madoo | i have 7.04 !!111 | 13:26 |
| Garbage | then ?? | 13:26 |
| void^ | xianai: germany | 13:26 |
| albech | anyone done the patch-o-matic patch? | 13:26 |
| Garbage | Is it bcoz nVidia drivers ?? | 13:26 |
| Olde | Madoo, do the upgrade then | 13:26 |
| gogeta | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 13:26 |
| Evanlec | Garbage, most likely | 13:27 |
| albech | im trying to figure where the new options appear in the kernel config | 13:27 |
| Madoo | k | 13:27 |
| Garbage | then ??? | 13:27 |
| monkeyBox | Should trackerd be taking up all 100% of my CPU? | 13:27 |
| amd432 | Garbage, download ubuntu 7.10 and see if it works for you, if not write down the error msgs you get and report them here | 13:27 |
| monkeyBox | (ie, is that normal?) | 13:27 |
| Garbage | I can run Sabayon | 13:27 |
| Olde | there's over 1000 packages to update, so it'll take awhile Madoo | 13:27 |
| Garbage | with compiz | 13:27 |
| Olde | took me over an hour with my poor little 1.33 GHz processor :( | 13:28 |
| bloony | what is the alt-tab thingy called in compizconfig?? | 13:28 |
| Garbage | Don't Ubuntu come with nVidia Drivers ?? | 13:28 |
| Madoo | oh lol | 13:28 |
| Evanlec | Garbage, no | 13:28 |
| Madoo | my PC iz 7.10,,,its pretty good | 13:28 |
| wastrel | compile | 13:28 |
| Evanlec | Garbage, and sabayon is not free is it? | 13:28 |
| Olde | Garbage, you can use the restricted drivers if you wish | 13:28 |
| Garbage | :-( tooo sad | 13:28 |
| Olde | but they're proprietary, so Ubuntu doesn't support upgrades for those | 13:29 |
| xianai | void^: I've heard that dutch is also hard to learn compared to english, is that right? :) | 13:29 |
| Garbage | Evanlec: it is !! | 13:29 |
| Madoo | when i go to the update manager,,,,it says ma system iz up 2 date !! | 13:29 |
| Pici | Madoo: what does lsb | 13:29 |
| Garbage | but I'm on Dial-up | 13:29 |
| Pici | Madoo: what does lsb_release -a say ? | 13:29 |
| Olde | yes Madoo, for 7.04 | 13:29 |
| Garbage | and can't download it's DVD version | 13:29 |
| Olde | Gutsy is 7.10 | 13:29 |
| arnath | void^: xianai just rebooted, usb did not mount automatically and, quite nasty, when i tried to access the (then offline) nfs partitions, my laptop just froze, i couldnt even access ctrl+alt+F1 | 13:29 |
| Garbage | and CD version comes with KDE.. I love Gnome | 13:30 |
| nazullia | i'm wondering how i should update to a 64bit kernel when i'm now on a standard gutsy? | 13:30 |
| Pici | nazullia: you need to reinstall. | 13:30 |
| Evanlec | nazullia, you cannot upgrade, u must clean install | 13:30 |
| qwerty121 | how can i sync my nokia 5200 with Gutsy? connecting it with the usb doesn't mount it... | 13:30 |
| nazullia | oh bah :-( | 13:31 |
| Olde | qwerty121 do you use gnokia | 13:31 |
| qwerty121 | Olde: nope | 13:31 |
| qwerty121 | Olde: where to get it? | 13:31 |
| void^ | xianai: i don't know dutch, but it's quite similar to german (i can often figure out the meaning).. and english is probably the easiest language ever, at least for those natively speaking some latin/germanic language =) | 13:31 |
| Olde | it's a package that's available. | 13:31 |
| xianai | arnath: God, seems like a terror,...... | 13:31 |
| Madoo | ohh | 13:31 |
| Olde | I'm still half new to this myself. | 13:31 |
| Madoo | it duznt work | 13:32 |
| jonpv | i need help installing an alternate ubuntu 7.10 kernel - i need to use a kernel that doesn't use PAE | 13:32 |
| Olde | but I know there's a connection package called gnokia for connecting Nokia phones to your system | 13:32 |
| === joze_ is now known as frojnd | ||
| void^ | arsenip: accessing a disconnected nfs mount blocks until the timeout is reached.. you should be able to kill the process though, and lowering timeo should help. but like i said, for these usecases sshfs is just more convenient ;) | 13:32 |
| Pici | jonpv: Only the server kernel uses PAE iirc. | 13:32 |
| qwerty121 | Olde: tyoing gnokia in add/remove app says: nothing found | 13:33 |
| xianai | void^: he is offline | 13:33 |
| Olde | qwerty121 you don't have it installed then. | 13:33 |
| === schlort_ is now known as schlort | ||
| Olde | apt-get install gnokia | 13:33 |
| Madoo_ | any1 here | 13:34 |
| Olde | how do you edit how many versions of Ubuntu you can boot from in grub? | 13:34 |
| xianai | void^: yeah, that is the main diff between CJK and latin | 13:34 |
| Madoo_ | 2 ? :D | 13:34 |
| Madoo_ | :S | 13:34 |
| Piddy | I need help.. My screen resolution is really messed up, and System Settings > Monitor & Display doesn't work | 13:34 |
| qwerty121 | Olde: same prob again in terminal, too. do you have it installed? | 13:34 |
| Olde | no, I used it when I had a nokia phone. got motorola now | 13:35 |
| xianai | void^: so your gonna say that again when he is online again | 13:35 |
| eko_hermiyanto | hello | 13:35 |
| eko_hermiyanto | good afternoon | 13:35 |
| Piddy | Anyone know what to do? | 13:35 |
| qwerty121 | Olde: then, how did you install it? | 13:35 |
| eko_hermiyanto | I have ubuntu and microsoft windows on my machine | 13:35 |
| eko_hermiyanto | is it possible to run that windows on top of my ubuntu? | 13:35 |
| eko_hermiyanto | both of them have different partition | 13:35 |
| Olde | I was still using 6.10 when I had it. might be an outdated package. | 13:36 |
| eko_hermiyanto | but I think it's useful to be able to run that windows on top of my ubuntu | 13:36 |
| eko_hermiyanto | because my ubuntu is my default operating system | 13:36 |
| Evanlec | eko_hermiyanto, no u cannot run them both at the same time... | 13:36 |
| riderrr | i have a graphics card that handles dual monitors (ATI Radeon RV 100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]) and tried to follow the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 and the thread it links to but this still did not work. Can anyone help please? | 13:36 |
| Olde | qwerty121 check your repositories. might need to use some older backdated updates. it might be in there. | 13:36 |
| qwerty121 | they are checked. Olde | 13:36 |
| Gts | ciao ragazzi ho scaricato un tema per gnome come lo utilizzo | 13:37 |

| nietopereek | hi | 13:37 |

| nietopereek | how to install nvidia on freespire 2.06? someone know | 13:37 |
| Pici | eko_hermiyanto: how did you print them? | 13:38 |
| qwerty121 | Pici: is there any package to sync nokia phones? | 13:38 |
| Olde | I guess there's no way to edit out older versions of ubuntu in grub then? | 13:38 |
| eko_hermiyanto | pici, I sent them all to the printer by using ftp :D | 13:38 |
| Pici | qwerty121: I dont know, sorry. | 13:38 |
| Pici | eko_hermiyanto: ooh, good idea | 13:38 |
| Evanlec | nietopereek, this is for the ubuntu distribution.. | 13:38 |
| nietopereek | Evanlec: sry freespire based on ubuntu, i need help | 13:39 |
| eko_hermiyanto | pici, and all of them are printed nicely. what a beautiful day :D | 13:39 |
| Rug | Howdy all | 13:39 |
| Pici | nietopereek: Freespire is still not Ubuntu. | 13:39 |
| qwerty121 | freespire based on ubuntu? o_O | 13:39 |
| Evanlec | nietopereek, what? freespire based on ubuntu? dont they have a support channel? | 13:39 |
| pike_ | nietopereek: but id recommend doing a google search for like nvidia ubuntu latest | 13:39 |
| dv_ | how do i speed up the mouse pointer? | 13:39 |
| Evanlec | actually there's a buncha distro's based on ubuntu | 13:39 |
| Pici | jonpv: I'm not sure... I'd try looking on the wiki. | 13:39 |
| nblracer | I have an older machine, would ubuntu 6.06lts be beter then 7.10 | 13:39 |
| Olde | Pici, is there a way to delete out old Ubuntu installs on my IA32 system without crashing it? | 13:40 |
| Pici | nblracer: Probably. You could also try Xubuntu 7.10 | 13:40 |
| ja-nonnerd | dv_, xset m 10 | 13:40 |
| Piddy | Help, I need to fix my screen resolution. | 13:40 |
| Evanlec | nblracer, yes i would recommend Xubuntu 7.10 | 13:41 |
| Evanlec | !resolution | Piddy | 13:41 |

| Madoo_ | me 2 | 13:42 |
| void^ | xianai: i don't think so, but the kde project was started in germany ;) | 13:42 |
| nblracer | Evanlec i will have to read up on it, Thanks, Btw the computer is a 1.8 ghrz centron 512mb ram, 40gb 5400rpm HDD | 13:42 |
| Evanlec | i dont know why it is that everyone and their brother decided it was a good idea to make yet another linux distribution...why dont they just join up with an existing team? if we all combined our efforts, we could have some really good distros | 13:42 |
| Pici | Olde: Remove the old kernels via your favorite package manager, they should update grub accordingly. | 13:42 |
| arnath | void^: xianai how can you reload an nfs mount? i have "stale NFS file handle" as error | 13:43 |
| Olde | Pici, I'm still sort of a newb at this...explain please? | 13:43 |
| Olde | just use synaptic then? | 13:43 |
| Evanlec | yes | 13:43 |
| Pici | Olde: exactly. | 13:43 |
| Olde | and that'll pull out the older kernels? | 13:44 |
| Madoo_ | Olde: my synpatic duznt even install anything | 13:44 |
| c0ntr4 | Ubuntu / Debian sucks balls | 13:44 |
| Olde | Madoo, do you have a solid LAN line? | 13:44 |
| xianai | arnath: wait for its timeout | 13:44 |
| ja-nonnerd | Evanlec, well feel free to gather some people and make a really good distro | 13:44 |
| Pici | !language | c0ntr4 | 13:44 |
| Olde | or dialup? | 13:44 |
| ubotu | c0ntr4: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. | 13:44 |
| xianai | void^: oh, that's cool | 13:44 |
| K-4U | my update to 7.10 failed. and now i can't start ubuntu: Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) How to solve this WITHOUT reinstalling ubuntu? | 13:44 |
| Madoo_ | yea,,im usin ma wireless LAN | 13:44 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Help! My server is rejecting attempts at an FTP connection. | 13:44 |
| Olde | Madoo, straight or through a router? | 13:44 |
| arnath | xianai: i set the timeout to 60 seconds... :| | 13:44 |
| Evanlec | ja-nonnerd, no im not gona start another one, last thing anyone needs is another damn distro, but if i was a programmer i'd join the ubuntu team probably | 13:44 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Haha, man that sounds too vague... | 13:44 |
| xianai | void^: I stick to kde | 13:44 |
| arnath | xianai: those are looong since past | 13:45 |
| s00p | Caleb_Estartes: turn on the ftpd :) | 13:45 |
| Madoo_ | through an access point | 13:45 |
| dellph | hello ppl. | 13:45 |
| Pici | !enter | 13:45 |
| ubotu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 13:45 |
| Olde | Madoo, if the access point is firewalled, you might not be able to update. I suggest borrowing a friend's hardline. | 13:45 |
| xianai | arnath: and after that try to mount again ? | 13:45 |
| Caleb_Estartes | s00p: How do I do that? Only thing I could think of was /etc/init.d/vsftpd start | 13:45 |
| Olde | plug into their internet connection and update that way | 13:46 |
| dellph | is there any program that will monitor your laptop if a certain heat of cpu achive it will shutdown the laptop? | 13:46 |
| Madoo_ | i also have an Adsl,,,i can connect ma laptop 2 it | 13:46 |
| Olde | Madoo, try connecting to that instead then | 13:46 |
| xianai | arnath: you may reduce your timeout num just as void^ said | 13:46 |
| arnath | xianai: still the same (im just doing mount -a btw) | 13:46 |
| Olde | Wireless isn't reliable like that. | 13:46 |
| Madoo_ | i tried | 13:46 |
| s00p | Caleb_Estartes: Dump that and install proftpd | 13:46 |
| Madoo_ | its the same mann | 13:46 |
| Evanlec | dellph, your computers bios should shut the computer down if it senses dangerous heat levels | 13:46 |
| Pici | Madoo_: What happens when you try to upgrade? Do you get an error? | 13:46 |
| Madoo_ | yea | 13:46 |
| Pici | Madoo_: What does the error say? | 13:47 |
| Madoo_ | it sayz ma system iz already updates | 13:47 |
| arnath | xianai: i could just leave it out of fstab alltogether, but that means i'll have to manually mount it everytime i want to use it | 13:47 |
| Olde | Madoo, only other thing I can think to do is burn off a copy of 7.10 to CD and update that way. | 13:47 |
| Madoo_ | updated** | 13:47 |
| dellph | evanlec: i did not see any config in my laptop dell 1420n :( | 13:47 |
| Pici | Madoo_: How are you trying to upgrade? | 13:47 |
| arnath | xianai: compounded to the fact that i have to manually mount it on the server computer as well, this is getting tiresome | 13:47 |
| Madoo_ | ok | 13:47 |
| Madoo_ | from the pdate manager | 13:47 |
| Evanlec | dellph, you typically wouldn't, its in the BIOS settings | 13:47 |
| Olde | Pici, he's on a wireless | 13:47 |
| c0ntr4 | Pici your nickname is in Czech the plural form of "vagina", and you still write some notice about my language? | 13:47 |
| Pici | Madoo_: Did you follow the instructions that ubotu provided? | 13:47 |
| Pici | Olde: It shouldnt matter. | 13:47 |
| Olde | even if his access point is firewalled off? ok | 13:48 |
| Pici | c0ntr4: My name is made up, I dont speak any czech. | 13:48 |
| Madoo_ | no i didnt Pici | 13:48 |
| c0ntr4 | Pici is a very vulgar word in Czech | 13:48 |
| dellph | evanlec: i went to the bios seeting a did not see any option there. | 13:48 |
| xianai | arnath: and just as void^ suggested , you may have a try of sshfs | 13:48 |
| void^ | arnath: well, this is why nfs is a pain in unrelaible/adhoc/wireless networks. it's just not designed for these things. you can try umount -f to force-unmount, may have to kill any accessing processes first.. | 13:48 |
| Caleb_Estartes | s00p: Hmm, okay. Lessee if I can find it. New to this stuff, so.. | 13:48 |
| Evanlec | lol | 13:48 |
| Pici | !upgrade | Madoo_ | 13:48 |
| ubotu | Madoo_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 13:48 |
| s00p | Caleb_Estartes: apt-get remove vsftpd; apt-get install proftpd | 13:49 |
| arnath | void^: its just, ive been reading about sshfs, but it is sort of a patch solution no? its using one protocol to do something that it was not originally designed to do? | 13:49 |
| c0ntr4 | Pici ok and I don't speak in English :-D I'm not sure if some word is too rude or too polite, because I hear the words very often in the great movies | 13:49 |
| Evanlec | dellph, thats because Dell doesnt want you to see any advanced options in bios, but believe me, the logic is there | 13:49 |
| arnath | void^: whereas nfs is specifically designed for sharing files, so it would seem like the more logical solution | 13:49 |
| Olde | alright. off to play with synaptic. thanks Pici, and Evanlec | 13:49 |
| Evanlec | Olde, welcome | 13:49 |

| yonilevy | Q: In gnome's, there's the "CD/DVD creator" directory, which allows me burning a cd/dvd using simple file dragging. I want to be able to perform the same action from command line. Is there a way to figure out the command line used by that? (I know cdrecord and mkisofs, I just don't wanna mess with the details, since "cd/dvd creator" already figured them out for me) | 13:50 |
| xianai | arnath: sure | 13:50 |

| s00p | Caleb_Estartes: I went from Commodore to Mac.. Linux was always a hobby on the side. Now it's what I do for a living. | 13:51 |
| xianai | arnath: nfs keep local buffers for file data on your client machines, and periodically sync with server, so if your network is unstable, the entiree session is stale | 13:52 |
| Caleb_Estartes | s00p: Awesome, its definitely fascinating me, I admit. I'm toying with Ubuntu as is. | 13:52 |
| Caleb_Estartes | s00p: Okay, so I've got it installed. I'm going with the inetd setup. | 13:52 |

| nblracer | one more question while it is some what quit in the channel, would it be ok to install ubuntu 6 then upgrade, or would you recomend a clean install from ubuntu 7 | 14:13 |
| MasterShrek | gogeta, ive read many articles on kde vs gnome, and most seem to have almost exactly the same findings on both desktops, most have kde a few megs less, but they are about the same | 14:13 |
| Pici | nblracer: I reccoment a clean install. | 14:14 |
| MasterShrek | nblracer, if you have a choice a clean install is always best | 14:14 |
| nblracer | just dont want to download it again :P | 14:15 |
| jasonago | hello!!! | 14:15 |
| gogeta | MasterShrek well from personal experance gnome has always been faster on all my systems | 14:15 |
| MasterShrek | ideasman42_, probably not since ical is (im assuming) a mac program | 14:15 |
| nblracer | im off thanks again | 14:15 |
| gogeta | MasterShrek not by anything majer but enough to notce | 14:16 |
| smegomatic | anyway to get ubuntu to mount a ntfs raid-0? | 14:16 |
| s00p | You know what bugs me about KDE? The use of "K" in place of "C" in apps. Kalendar is a good example. It's dumb! | 14:16 |
| Pici | ideasman42_: I'd try asking about it in #evolution on irc.gnome.org , they would have a better idea about it than us. | 14:16 |
| MasterShrek | gogeta, ive noticed exactly the opposite on every machine ive used =P | 14:16 |
| LjL | s00p: so rename the menu entries :) | 14:17 |

| gogeta | yay | 14:23 |
| Caleb_Estartes | <cries> | 14:23 |
| gogeta | lol | 14:23 |
| Caleb_Estartes | I can't figure out why proftp isn't working proper for me. | 14:23 |
| gogeta | firewall? | 14:23 |
| gogeta | roughter? | 14:23 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Well, I can get a connection through a client. | 14:23 |
| cast | Caleb_Estartes: are you sure you should be running a ftpd :\ | 14:23 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Like if I punch my IP into a browser, it puts me into a directory. | 14:24 |
| gogeta | then roughter | 14:24 |
| gogeta | port foward 21 to your linux ip | 14:24 |
| Pici | Caleb_Estartes: Web browsers are not good ftp clients | 14:24 |
| Caleb_Estartes | But if I try to connect using an FTP client it doesn't work. | 14:24 |

| gogeta | !ask | 14:24 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 14:24 |
| Pici | Caleb_Estartes: What addressa are you trying to connect to? | 14:24 |
| lzikzak | i got today ubuntu for the first time how can i install | 14:25 |
| lzikzak | exe files | 14:25 |
| gogeta | hahahahaha | 14:25 |
| Pici | !wine | lzikzak | 14:25 |
| ubotu | lzikzak: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 14:25 |
| gogeta | short answer you cant | 14:25 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Pici: 141.165.208.62 | 14:25 |
| lzikzak | thnx | 14:25 |
| cast | lzikzak: you don't. its a good thing, you don't want to | 14:25 |
| lzikzak | but i dont know how to install even that tho | 14:25 |
| lzikzak | they dont just click and run | 14:25 |
| lzikzak | how is it done | 14:25 |
| LjL | !software > lzikzak (lzikzak, see the private message from Ubotu) | 14:25 |
| ferric84 | an rtfm is in order | 14:25 |
| Pici | lzikzak: Follow the link from Ubotu. | 14:25 |
| gogeta | yes they do | 14:25 |
| lzikzak | is there any page to learn on this | 14:26 |
| Pici | !rtf | ferric84 | 14:26 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rtf - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 14:26 |

| Caleb_Estartes | Pici: But that just sends you to the directory I configured in Apache. | 14:26 |
| cast | jfgi? | 14:26 |
| Pici | Caleb_Estartes: What happens if you try to ftp into 127.0.0.1 | 14:26 |
| lzikzak | thnx guys | 14:26 |
| LjL | cast: please google that acronym if you want to know its meaning. | 14:26 |
| Pici | LjL: :D | 14:26 |
| gogeta | Caleb_Estarte acully id hes using a local network he uses his roughter ip like 192.68.1.101 | 14:27 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Pici: Oho, it asks me for a username and password. Except, the one I use on Ubuntu isn't working. ~.~ | 14:27 |
| gogeta | only stuff outside your network will use isp ip | 14:27 |
| Pici | Caleb_Estartes: Either your router doesnt support loopback connections, or your isp is blocking port 21 | 14:27 |
| cast | oh. just fucking google it. | 14:27 |
| LjL | sigh. | 14:28 |
| gogeta | Caleb_Estarte you username and pass would be whatever you set the ftp for | 14:28 |

| gogeta | Caleb_Estarte if you wanna check you can do a sudo ps -A | 14:29 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Alrighty, I'll do that real quick. | 14:29 |
| gogeta | Caleb_Estarte and look for it | 14:29 |
| ubuntu | oi | 14:30 |
| Caleb_Estartes | ps -a only lists bash and ps. | 14:30 |
| Caleb_Estartes | ps ax gives me a huge list, with no proftp or inetd in it. | 14:30 |
| s00p | do ps -ef | 14:30 |
| ArrPirate | Does anyone know how to change what a file opens with by default? | 14:30 |
| teemu_ | I'm going to format and install my broken XP again and I've installed Ubuntu Gutsy to get my stuff on external hd. I have two major problems with this install. 1) Browsing web is slower than with 56k modem and 2) booting takes nearly 5 minutes because all fsck root file system and file system checking. Any ideas how to fix those ? | 14:30 |
| gogeta | i think he can grep it to | 14:30 |
| s00p | ArrPirate: that nick kicks butt! | 14:30 |
| gogeta | ps } grep proftp | 14:31 |
| Hyper-cool | Hey all. I installed ubuntu about a year ago and then completely stopped using it because of driver support issues. Now I'd like to hop up to Gutsy and see how it does, but when i go to package manager/update it only lists version 7.04 as the most current. any ideas? | 14:31 |
| gogeta | | | 14:31 |
| ArrPirate | 'Cause I accidentally made it so .exe files open up with one program when I really need it to open with wine | 14:31 |
| ArrPirate | s00p, thanks | 14:31 |
| gogeta | or something like that | 14:31 |
| Pici | ArrPirate: right click on the file, and change the properties to open with ine. | 14:31 |
| Pici | !upgrade | Hyper-cool | 14:31 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Pici: Yup, its not in that list. I don't think its started at all. | 14:31 |
| ubotu | Hyper-cool: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 14:31 |

| Pici | tyler_7: sudo lshw | 14:34 |

| gogeta | tyler_7 lsmod lspci lsusb lol | 14:34 |
| Pici | Caleb_Estartes: does `sudo invoke-rc.d proftpd start` give you any errors? | 14:35 |
| murlidhar | can anybody help me reset my LAN card?? | 14:35 |
| === teemu_ is now known as Hawkins | ||
| Amine | Does anyone have a solution for the Desktop effects problem, please? | 14:35 |
| gogeta | murlidhar sudo service network restart | 14:35 |
| murlidhar | Amine: go on | 14:36 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Pici: Hmm, says it cannot start in both standalone and inetd mode. Check my configuration. | 14:36 |
| rrittenhouse | Why the heck isnt Vmware in Gutsy?? :) | 14:36 |
| Amine | murlidhar, thanks, I installed ubuntu, but I have a problem with activating the visual effects, it keeps saying: Desktop Effects could not be enabled! My graphic card is: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller | 14:36 |
| gogeta | Caleb_Estartes that means its running | 14:36 |
| Pici | Caleb_Estartes: Check your configuration. I believe theres a proftpd channel, either #proftp or #proftpd | 14:36 |
| Hawkins | How can I get my net working. I get 'looking up <host>' with FireFox, it takes about 1 minute and then I get to page. Everything works fine until I go to another page. Same thing again | 14:37 |
| gogeta | rrittenhouse it is you and install it via apt | 14:37 |
| murlidhar | gogeta: would that reset or restart? | 14:37 |
| murlidhar | gogeta: i need the default settings | 14:37 |
| rrittenhouse | geoaxis, sorry 64bit | 14:37 |
| rrittenhouse | er | 14:37 |
| rrittenhouse | gogeta, 64 bit | 14:37 |
| gogeta | murlidhar that would restart the nics | 14:37 |
| Caleb_Estartes | So, Pici, Gogeta... let me at least get one thing straight. | 14:37 |
| Caleb_Estartes | If I haven't set up any users besides the one I've installed Ubuntu under. | 14:37 |
| Caleb_Estartes | And if all I've done is install proftpd. | 14:37 |
| eko_hermiyanto | There is domain controller. Is it possible by using this system to be | 14:38 |
| eko_hermiyanto | able to know the state of every computers in the domain, whether they | 14:38 |
| eko_hermiyanto | alive or down, connected good to the network or not? The domain | 14:38 |
| eko_hermiyanto | controller is microsoft windows, but, I manage it using samba on my | 14:38 |
| eko_hermiyanto | ubuntu system. | 14:38 |
| Pici | !enter | eko_hermiyanto | 14:38 |
| ubotu | eko_hermiyanto: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 14:38 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Then if I punch the port/ip into an FTP client on another computer - and input my user name/password. It -should- connect? | 14:38 |
| tyler_7 | can I get any of that information in a readable format? looking to know how many hard drives? drive sizes? ammount of memory etc.....? | 14:38 |
| eko_hermiyanto | pici, i am sorry | 14:38 |
| Pici | Caleb_Estartes: I'm not sure, but proftpd users might be seperate from the system ysers. | 14:38 |
| gogeta | Caleb_Estartes i would assume so | 14:38 |
| RickJones | ls -a | 14:38 |
| jhattu | Could someone guide me with setting ownership (chown / chmod) to my external HD? I formatted it to ext3 and ubuntu mounts it automatically but I do not have the write rights to it... | 14:38 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Pici: Okay, I can check on that. | 14:38 |
| rrittenhouse | I did a fresh install of Gutsy and VMWare isnt listed in synaptic. Im also running 64bit\ | 14:39 |
| s00p | Pici: By default proftpd uses system accounts. If you use the mysql add-on then users are stored in a DB. | 14:39 |
| gogeta | Caleb_Estartes they might acully be needed to be added to the proftp groupas well | 14:39 |
| murlidhar | gogeta: actually my host address settings in network manager got accidently deleted and the setting in the hosts were not manually entered by me which they probably were the default settings. | 14:39 |
| Caleb_Estartes | Ah crud.. I have the mysql installed. | 14:39 |
| Pici | tyler_7: how about `sudo lshw > ~/file.txt` then you'll have it in a file in your home dierctory. | 14:39 |
| s00p | We use proftpd here and it works great. The configuration is so flexible! | 14:39 |
| gogeta | murlidhar if its a schp server it shuldent matter | 14:40 |
| murlidhar | gogeta: so i thought that maybe by resetting the whole card would solve my problem | 14:40 |
| psycose | rrittenhouse: seems like vmware-player is not packaged on Gutsy (also for me in 32 bits) | 14:40 |

| Caleb_Estartes | s00p: So how do I access and edit the user database from mySQL? And will proftpd 'automatically' know to look there for user information? | 14:40 |
| rrittenhouse | psycose, yeah man do we just have to do it our self or what | 14:40 |
| murlidhar | murlidhar: i have to enter the ip address manually | 14:40 |
| Pici | tyler_7:No, that should work, make sure you spelled it all correctly. | 14:40 |
| tyler_7 | caleb_estartes: in term type mysql | 14:40 |
| psycose | rrittenhouse: well i don't know ...sorry | 14:40 |

| gogeta | murlidha or renun the network wizerd | 14:41 |
| s00p | Caleb_Estartes: there is a HOWTO on the proftpd site. I have a DB schema I can send you if you cant find help. It;s pretty straightforward though. You have a users table and groups table. | 14:41 |

| gogeta | murlidhar normaly on a static setup hostname can be local you just need the right ip dns and so forth | 14:46 |
| tyler_7 | gnr: if you konw the answer then yes | 14:46 |
| jhattu | tyler_7: this is the problematic drive: /dev/sda1 230G 188M 218G 1% /media/disk | 14:46 |

| s00p | LjL: Oddly it is simply disabled in the kernel. I don't know why. All the developers had to do was enable it! | 14:47 |
| Caleb_Estartes | s00p: Thanks, lookin' over it. And yeah, I happen to have phpmyadmin installed... I dunno if that's conflicting. | 14:47 |

| murlidhar | gogeta: i should make it dhcp? | 14:50 |
| s00p | Caleb_Estartes: standalone versus inetd is in the /etc/protftpd.config file | 14:51 |
| gogeta | murlidhar it would make it so if you lose settings again it will just put them back auto | 14:51 |
| s00p | also edit /etc/inetd.conf and delete the proftpd line. then restart inetd. | 14:51 |

| Jonah_ | magnetron, no it won't let me type anything or do anything, maybe the resolution is wrong, there isn't even a login etc when i exit gdm | 15:01 |

| Edulix | LjL: I use the USB, it's faster ;) and I don't have bluetooth in my laptop. I have added a obexfs line to /etc/fstab, so I can mount/umount /media/phone, but it would be fantastic if it was automatically discovered and mounted | 15:04 |
| Edulix | and then an icon would be put in the desktop, and with right click I could umount it hehe | 15:05 |

| dsaint | how do I run fsck on next bootup? | 15:22 |
| Jonah_ | proprietarysucks, yeah that's what i did - no prompt, so i figured resolution maybe not set right, my bootmanager file was set to vga=771, so just check 791 corrects this | 15:22 |
| ChuckFu | james296 any word on a fix | 15:22 |
| possessed | ChuckFu do you use Nvidia VGA gear?? | 15:22 |

| james296 | thats what I meant actually | 15:33 |
| arnath | mariamystar: just ask the question ;) | 15:33 |
| manchicken | Jonah_: Is it an ATI driver? I've never gotten one of those to work properly. | 15:33 |
| james296 | but sadly I dont know what to do it just brings me to a stylish site to download additional stylish styles... | 15:33 |
| mariamystar | i have instqalled Ubuntu 6.06 on VirtualPC | 15:33 |
| mariamystar | everything is running fine | 15:33 |
| mariamystar | but i cannot access the internet | 15:34 |
| mariamystar | my ethernet connection says it's active | 15:34 |
| Jonah_ | manchicken, no it's a wifi driver, my wifi was kinda working but wasnt very good, so i tried to install a different driver from source and it's killed my machine | 15:34 |
| bch | s00p: thank you | 15:34 |
| possessed | Ati driver , It's good, i don't have any problem | 15:34 |

| arnath | mariamystar: isn't there a support for virtualpc? | 15:35 |
| manchicken | possessed: Consider yourself lucky :) | 15:35 |
| mariamystar | virtual support doesnt technically support any linux OS | 15:35 |
| Jonah_ | hi can anyone please tell me how to undo a make build make install and strip the driver back out of my system as it's causing it to crash, please? | 15:35 |
| mariamystar | so there wouldnt be any documentation from the offical site | 15:35 |
| manchicken | Jonah_: `make uninstall` maybe | 15:35 |
| amadeux | mariamystar, "virtual support"? I think you mean "virtual pc" | 15:36 |
| mariamystar | i have looked up several articles, and i followed all their instructions, i still cant seem to look at any websites | 15:36 |
| h1st0 | Jonah_: make uninstall | 15:36 |
| RoyK | one more question - after installing the 3d stuff - how can I view the cube and rotate it and so on? i can't find that | 15:36 |
| manchicken | Jonah_: You could also blacklist it if that doesn't work. | 15:36 |
| John_R | mariamystar: is the thernet conenction bridged or host-only? | 15:36 |
| mariamystar | thats what i meant, yes | 15:36 |
| h1st0 | !source > Jonah_ (Please see the private message from ubotu) | 15:36 |
| manchicken | In /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 15:36 |
| amadeux | mariamystar, don't use virtual pc. it sucks. Use VirtualBox or vmware or ... I prefer virtualbox. It's simple and fast | 15:36 |
| mariamystar | i see | 15:36 |
| mariamystar | do you think that would solve my internet issues? | 15:36 |
| John_R | mariamystar: i use vmware to run xp under linux, and the ethernet card needs to be set to bridged to work properly | 15:36 |
| h1st0 | mariamystar: or you can use virtualbox very nice software | 15:37 |
| medfly | i am looking for some video player that wouldn't have any issue just opening .asx files (and similar ones). if anyone is familiar with one.. | 15:37 |
| amadeux | mariamystar, It might, but either way, it is probably a virtualization issue, not an ubuntu issue. Try virtual box. It is very easy to use | 15:37 |
| h1st0 | RoyK: install compizconfig-settings-manager package | 15:37 |
| possessed | It is not Ati driver problem, i think. | 15:37 |
| h1st0 | medfly: vlc | 15:37 |
| amadeux | Is there anyway to have firefox elegantly not play any videostreams within the browser (no plugin I have tried works flawlessly), and then when I click, it should open an external mplayer (not within browser) and play the video there? | 15:37 |
| mariamystar | thanks | 15:37 |
| medfly | h1st0, it just doesn't do it proeprly. could it be something witht he file? | 15:37 |
| RoyK | h1st0: I did, but what am I to turn on to get that? or what keys to press? | 15:37 |
| amadeux | medfly, yes it could. But try mplayer as well | 15:38 |
| Jonah_ | make uninstall just gives me No rule to make target 'uninstall' | 15:38 |
| possessed | I think, It's your monitor's problem | 15:38 |
| h1st0 | RoyK: well you can type ccsm in a terminal or hit alt+f2 to bring up a run prompt and type in ccsm. | 15:38 |
| cinch | Can someone point me to a doc on getting a Radeon Mobility 7500 to run Desktop Effects? | 15:38 |
| h1st0 | Jonah_: you need to be in the source directory | 15:38 |
| arnath | mariamystar: virtualbox has a hell of a time bridging connections though (default: nat) so it depends on your needs imho | 15:38 |
| h1st0 | !ati > cinch (Please see the private message from ubotu) | 15:38 |
| amadeux | arnath, true | 15:39 |
| manchicken | Jonah_: Go back to the source directory where you did the `make install` and do a `make uninstall` | 15:39 |
| RoyK | h1st0: well, I'm looking around in there of course, but I just wondered how I actually trigger the cube view | 15:39 |

| possessed | Is any website you recommend ???? | 15:39 |
| h1st0 | RoyK: enable teh cube plugin and change teh hsize in general settings | 15:39 |
| Jonah_ | manchicken, i'm in dir that i did the make install | 15:39 |
| manchicken | Jonah_: Try `make deinstall` (that's the BSD way) | 15:39 |
| amadeux | arnath, mariamystar of course, the de facto choice is vmware. So you might want to go with that. I just find their software a little too intrusive (installs all sorts of daemons and extra virtual hardware in the host system). Virtualbox is more selfcontained and "just works" | 15:40 |
| Pici | !offtopic | possessed | 15:40 |
| ubotu | possessed: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 15:40 |

| amadeux | arnath, yeah | 15:40 |

| manchicken | Okay | 15:40 |
| stack_ | I have a box that was originally a dapper desktop. Over time it has been upgraded to gutsy. Also, in the process it has become more of a server and less as a desktop. Is there a way to 'downgrade' the desktop to the server install set? | 15:41 |
| amadeux | arnath, mariamystar also in the benchmarks I have seen, virtualbox is faster | 15:41 |
| manchicken | Jonah_: What driver did you install? | 15:41 |
| mariamystar | im at the virtualbox page | 15:41 |
| Pici | stack_: just remove ubuntu-desktop or whatever desktop metapackage you use | 15:41 |
| Pancakes | I'm trying to install irssi, but I'm having problems. I used the Synaptic Package Manager, but it's still not appearing in my applications | 15:41 |
| arnath | amadeux: mariamystar xen is fastest (i think), but very hard to install (especially on ubuntu gutsy) | 15:41 |
| h1st0 | stack_: you could remove gnome or what ever window manager you have installed and autoremove the rest of the packages hopefully. | 15:41 |
| mariamystar | im in the downloads section | 15:41 |
| manchicken | Jonah_: Try going back to their webpage and seeing if they have any docs on how to remove it. | 15:41 |
| Pici | Pancakes: irssi is a command line irc client, it wont have a an entry in gnome. | 15:41 |
| Jonah_ | manchicken, this one: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt61-cvs-daily.tar.gz | 15:42 |

| arnath | amadeux: mariamystar it "should" work fine on feisty though, but i haven't tested this yet | 15:42 |
| james296 | how can I edit the color of the text in the file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html main homepage in firefox? | 15:42 |
| amadeux | arnath, true, but xen is only faster if you have a processor with that "new" virtualization flag. My athlon 64 x2 socket939 does not have that flag | 15:42 |
| RoyK | h1st0: erm. hsize - where? | 15:42 |
| Pici | possessed: It reccomended you that this channel is only for support, not asking for insteresting websites. | 15:42 |

| lakin_ | Before I upgraded to Gutsy, I had some firefox shortcuts that used executed: firefox -P <profile_name> and it worked great, I had multiple profiles configured for different uses. But they don't work anymore. The first shortcut I use launches the right profile, but if I use a different shortcut while FF is still running I get an instance of the first profile (not the new one) | 15:49 |
| jussi01 | pipegeek: how so? | 15:49 |
| dgjones | cinch, how much memory does your graphics have, i have an old nvidia which runs 3d app's, games etc happily, but because its only 32mb memory, desktop effects won't run | 15:49 |
| LjL | cinch, that's a good question, i don't know where to find a list | 15:49 |
| pipegeek | I'm running gutsy. I'd like .exe files to be associated with wine. However, even though nautilus seems to think they are (right-click->properties->open with shows wine as the only option), they *actually* open with gksu (which gets confused) and then die. How do I fix this behavior? | 15:50 |

| lakin_ | Pici: yeah, like I said. Each of the shortcuts work, if no FF is currently running. But once I have one of the profiles currently executing, all subsequent runs use that profile | 15:50 |
| sung | mnk3ym4n: what kind of monitor/display adapter do you have? | 15:51 |
| lakin_ | Pici: It's like it ignores the '-P' argument when a firefox is already running and just asks it for a new window | 15:51 |

| Pici | lakin_: Have you tried providing the switches directly to firefox-bin? firefox is just a script that runs that... you might need to take a look at the text of firefox to see exactly what it does. | 15:54 |
| albech | anyone else have problems with random flickering with nvidia? | 15:54 |
| Pici | Niekk: Tell him to ask about it in #ubuntu-ops | 15:54 |
| h1st0 | james296: with a text editor its the .css file in that directory. also you may want to try looking for help in a web development room rather than ubuntu support. | 15:54 |
| Filype | h1st0: and how i do it? | 15:54 |
| h1st0 | Filype: what are you trying to accomplish | 15:55 |
| arnath | if i put a script inside /etc/init.d it will be run on boot, yes? | 15:55 |

| Filype | hlst0, ok thanks guy | 15:56 |
| h1st0 | Filype: then you would need to get some utility to expland the windows partition and use the freespace. But you may want to ask in #windows about all that. | 15:57 |
| arnath | h1st0: also, if i just need to execute one command, can i put it directly into rc.local? | 15:57 |
| possessed | help me.... | 15:57 |
| possessed | in Xwindows, make a new directory, but i can fix it's title | 15:57 |

| troc_ | GhostFiend, depends on how bleeding edge it is. Best to give it some time before making that statement with full confidence. | 16:31 |

| bluefox83 | i run an ssh server on a ubuntu server..pretty sure i installed sshd O.o | 16:31 |
| soundray_ | bluefox83: please! | 16:31 |

| Logixal | soundray_: Well in a way yes since SSH will be an opening, so I guess yes. Does that mean root will never be an issue with any package? | 16:33 |
| jodde | Yeah, about that, isn't there a default password? | 16:33 |

| Vlet | Logixal: as far as I know, it's a very good randomly generated pass, AND root login should be disabled in your sshd config anywho | 16:33 |
| soundray_ | Logixal: yes, that's essentially true | 16:34 |
| Logixal | k | 16:34 |
| jodde | o7andrew: Why not just get 7.10 | 16:34 |
| jodde | It's the newest and most stable version. | 16:34 |
| troc_ | jodde: no I think it is randomized, you can ofcourse just change it to some thing which you like with passwd | 16:34 |
| soundray_ | Logixal: there is no root password in ubuntu. The account is locked. | 16:34 |
| medfly | o7andrew, uhm, i *think* im on 7.04, so 2.6.17-11-386 here | 16:34 |
| jodde | troc_ I need to find it actually, because I can't use kWallet for some reason. | 16:35 |
| o7andrew | the dell conexant winmodem drivers | 16:35 |
| medfly | or maybe i just updated it, i cant remember :) | 16:35 |
| Vlet | o7andrew: if you type "uname -r" in a terminal, it should show ya what kernel ya got | 16:35 |
| soundray_ | bluefox83: there is no package called sshd | 16:35 |
| Logixal | soundray_: great so when setting up SSHd then you dont even need to worry about disabling root since its locked gloabal correct? | 16:35 |
| troc_ | sudo su, then passwd and set it to something suitably complex. | 16:35 |
| bluefox83 | walmart is going to start selling $198.00 computers without a monitor that have GOS linux (built on ubuntu 7.10) | 16:36 |
| achadwick | KDE/QT experts: is there a way of very minimally telling all QT apps what theme engine to use? I'd like the few QT apps I run to look like my GNOME desktop, and the only way I've found involves firing up the entirety of kcontrol. | 16:36 |
| Name141 | Vlet, so I take it I need to place it in the [whateverisshared] | 16:36 |
| jodde | 2.6.22-14-generic here | 16:36 |
| Vlet | Name141: yar | 16:36 |
| kbrooks | anything on IT with Ubuntu? [it = information technology] | 16:36 |
| soundray_ | Logixal: yes, correct. Also, even if you do enable a root password (don't! :-) ), you have to make an extra setting in sshd_config to enable remote root logins. | 16:36 |
| jodde | What sort of computers, bluefox? | 16:36 |
| o7andrew | Vlet: I can't boot feisty, (in under an hour) ( exception emask ...frozen errors) | 16:36 |
| kbrooks | i mean | 16:36 |
| bluefox83 | soundray_, heh, musta discontinued that package in 7.10 then, i used sshd in feisty :P | 16:36 |
| troc_ | kbrooks, ? | 16:36 |
| kbrooks | any articles on IT with Ubuntu? [it = information technology] | 16:37 |
| Name141 | OK, one other thing is, is there a way to get a better erm.. "driver" for a VooDoo 3 3dfx 8MB ? | 16:37 |
| bluefox83 | wait..no i didn't | 16:37 |
| gran | i had desktop effects working fine, i typed compiz in terminal and now it wont let me enable them. what have i done? how to fix? | 16:37 |
| kbrooks | soundray_, openssh-server | 16:37 |
| Logixal | why did they use GOS Linux vs. just using Ubuntu? | 16:37 |
| Logixal | I hate the way everything splits up | 16:37 |
| troc_ | gran: is it already runing ? | 16:37 |
| soundray_ | kbrooks: no need to tell me | 16:37 |
| soundray_ | bluefox83: there is no sshd package in feisty either | 16:38 |
| bluefox83 | soundray_, ok i see where i got confused, sshd is what runs, it's not the package | 16:38 |
| kbrooks | Logixal, other distros do a better job at this kind of thing | 16:38 |
| Name141 | let me go check to see if this folder is accessable also | 16:38 |

| bluefox83 | soundray_, i just ssh'd over to my server, did ps x and saw sshd running, then did an apt-cache search for sshd.... | 16:38 |

| jodde | Hey, if I get a Wii one of these days, can I use a Linux on it? | 16:39 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | hey, somebody here had problems installing windows after gutsy install? | 16:39 |
| jimcooncat | jaga_: right-click on the little virtual desktop panel app and choose preferences | 16:39 |
| jodde | Or do I have to use its native OS? | 16:39 |
| jodde | I know there's a way to get Linux on PS3. | 16:39 |
| soundray_ | jodde: if you want to run Linux properly, don't get a game console to run it on. Or get one that runs Linux natively, e.g. gp2x | 16:40 |
| === Somotaw|AFK is now known as Somotaw | ||
| Logixal | kbrooks: but I thought Ubuntu copied from Debian was the attempt to do what GOS is doing, if that makes any sense | 16:40 |
| pike_ | jodde: im not aware of a linux project for wii but im sure one exists.. given the specs i dont think itd be worth it | 16:40 |
| jaga_ | jimcooncat: thought so. I did that, and I changed it to 1 row 4 cols (from 1x2) hit ok, and no change. Do I have to restart X do make the change? | 16:40 |
| Logixal | kbrooks: I guess my point is why use Ubuntu then | 16:41 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | hey, somebody here had problems installing windows after gutsy install? | 16:41 |
| jodde | Tia: It probably has to do with your partitions. | 16:41 |
| soundray_ | TiaGo|SouZa: apparently not, so no point repeating the question | 16:41 |
| jodde | Windows won't install on a .. whatever disk system Linux uses, disk system. | 16:42 |
| soundray_ | TiaGo|SouZa: much better to say what your actual problem is. | 16:42 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | soundray_: hey, I have a big problem here and I'm trying to get some help | 16:42 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | ok? | 16:42 |
| bluefox83 | Logixal, GOS is basically a ubuntu 7.10 with google icons and facebook quick access icons both on the desktop..and likely a new theme | 16:42 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | basically, windows is not installling, after I installed gutsy | 16:42 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | dunno why | 16:42 |
| bluefox83 | TiaGo|SouZa, which partition are you trying to install windows on? | 16:43 |
| soundray_ | TiaGo|SouZa: did you leave space for windows when you installed gutsy? | 16:43 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | yeah | 16:43 |
| soundray_ | TiaGo|SouZa: where, and how much? | 16:43 |
| jodde | TiaGo|SouZa, try splitting up your partitions. Have a Linux partition which is like EXT-32 or something, and dedicate part of your drive to Windows, which uses FAT-32. | 16:43 |
| pike_ | also how may partition exist currently | 16:43 |
| bluefox83 | TiaGo|SouZa, windows will always want to be on the first partition of the master drive... | 16:43 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | I already tried to install ONLY windows, and that didnt happen | 16:43 |
| Tidus | TiaGo|SouZa, if you're wanting to install windows on a system that has linux on it, install windows first, then install linux | 16:43 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | I erase everything, including gutsy | 16:43 |
| soundray_ | bluefox83: again, that's not true | 16:44 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | Tidus: I did that | 16:44 |
| bluefox83 | soundray_, it's true if you don't want to have to do chainloading | 16:44 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | but windows dont install even when gutsy is not in my computer | 16:44 |
| Trivi | nas | 16:44 |
| general | kojasiti | 16:44 |
| Tidus | TiaGo|SouZa, but, since you have wiped the drive clean, just erase all partitions on the hard disk then create a new one in windows setup | 16:44 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | even when Linux is not in mu computer | 16:44 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | Tidus: I did that, but didnt work | 16:45 |
| ctop | did you format to ntfs first tiago? | 16:45 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | yes | 16:45 |
| jodde | TiaGo|SouZa, just create an NTFS partition through fdisk. | 16:45 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | the slow one format | 16:45 |
| Tidus | TiaGo|SouZa, what windows are you installing in place? | 16:45 |
| danielbw | TiaGo|SouZa: then you need help from a Windows channel | 16:45 |
| general | kakosi | 16:45 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | xp | 16:45 |
| Tidus | TiaGo|SouZa, move to privmsg | 16:45 |
| medfly | theres a ##windows channel | 16:45 |
| gran | troc_, what do you mean already running? its set do "disabled" in appearance | 16:45 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | danielbw: well, that happened after I installed gutsy | 16:45 |
| o7andrew | just wondering, if a Ubuntu user has feisty and they use the dell conexant winmodem driver for it (krnl 2.6.20) What do they do with that driver when they upgrade to ?7.10? | 16:45 |
| soundray_ | bluefox83: no, you can have Windows boot from any partition, as long as it starts within a certain offset from the beginning of the disk. Chainloading or not is irrelevant | 16:45 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | so I thought it would have something to do with NTFS writing that gutsy introduced | 16:46 |
| ponymask | i'm having some trouble installing anjuta | 16:46 |
| jodde | Hey, while we're on partitions, can I set up a partition for old DOS without destroying data? | 16:46 |

| TiaGo|SouZa | ok | 16:46 |
| soundray_ | jodde: have you got a special reason for wanting a RAM disk? | 16:46 |
| danielbw | TiaGo|SouZa: have you tried doing the drive manufacturer's drive low level format? | 16:47 |
| jodde | soundray_, I would rather not say, but yes. | 16:47 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | nop | 16:47 |
| medfly | TiaGo|SouZa, go to the ##windows channel, or something. | 16:47 |
| bluefox83 | TiaGo|SouZa, here's what i suggest, pop in a livecd like knoppix or the ubuntu livecd, format the entire drive and remove the partitions, format to fat32, then pop in your windows install disk, partition the drive the way you want it, put windows on the first partition, and linux on anything following, that's my advise, take it or leave it as you will | 16:47 |
| jodde | Do you know of one, soundray_ ? | 16:48 |
| TiaGo|SouZa | bluefox83: thanks | 16:48 |
| mkz | ok, I've just had my system hang for the third time in as many days. I need to know what log files I can look at to help me figure out why this is happening. I'm running on a freshly installed copy of kubuntu gutsy. Any suggestions? | 16:48 |
| medfly | TiaGo|SouZa, it could be just an issue with windows.. it happens ;) | 16:48 |
| bluefox83 | TiaGo|SouZa, that's the "easy" way that i know of. there are likely more ways to do it, but that's how *I* know. | 16:48 |
| soundray_ | jodde: you don't need extra software. Give me a minute | 16:48 |
| s00p | It "krashed"! ha ha ha I krack myself up | 16:48 |
| troc_ | mkz:full hang or just X ? | 16:48 |

I have used apt-get and synaptic, but on my fresh gutsy ubuntu-studio (amd64) install i have been trying aptitude from the command line. is it a bad idea to mix methods? should i stick with one over the other? will synaptic or apt-get keep in pace with dependencies and such tracked by aptitude? i have never understood what aptitude does different or if it stores data in it's own db | 17:02 |

| arpharazon | Why doesn't gparted let me unmount my /home partition? | 17:03 |
| LjL | mojo, aptitude used to be the only APT package managed that tracker automatically-installed packages and could remove them when no longer needed. as of late, that feature has been built into Ubuntu's APT, so it's available from any front-end. I believe that the aptitude and the APT databases for that are, in theory, synced, but i am not sure there won't ever be any mismatches | 17:04 |
| genii | tadah: You might want to examine the last parts of the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues on whats failing | 17:04 |

| DeFirence | hmm | 17:04 |
| achadwick | mojo: it's fine. It's all the same system under the hood. | 17:04 |
| soundray | mojo: you can mix and match package managers as you like -- they all operate on the same backend. Just make sure you exit one before you use another. | 17:04 |

| Zzoli | Does Wine influences my upgrading to gusty gibbon? | 17:06 |
| soundray | arpharazon: if you want to modify partitions, yes | 17:06 |
| mojo | soundray, okay. that makes me feel better. i just don't understand why aptitude is said to be better at removing software later and that if you install with apt-get, then aptitude won't be able to do as good a job... makes me think aptitude keeps it's on db, if even just supplimentary to the apt db | 17:06 |
| Alejandr0 | <soundray> ubuntu is crashing often | 17:06 |
| === FructoVonMeatHea is now known as Fructo | ||
| Fructo | hello | 17:06 |
| LjL | Zzoli: how did you install it? | 17:06 |
| soundray | mojo: it used to be true. Not anymore, though. | 17:06 |
| genii | mnk3ym4n: try /target/ instead of /target | 17:07 |
| mojo | Pici, what is a pinning reference, in a nutshell? or should i just google it up? | 17:07 |
| arpharazon | Pici Oh ok... Oh, when I boot from the livecd, gparted is a real pain in the ass. I unmount a partition, all the others get mounted back on, it takes me about a minute to finally unmount them. | 17:07 |
| soundray | Alejandr0: randomly, or always at the same point? | 17:07 |
| LjL | Fructo, feel free to ask your question | 17:07 |
| Zzoli | LjL: I followed some instuctions that were featured in a youtube video to install wine | 17:07 |
| Fructo | LjL: what if i dont have one :P | 17:07 |
| Alejandr0 | randomly since my xp sp2 got completely unstable | 17:07 |
| LjL | Zzoli: ... | 17:07 |
| soundray | arpharazon: disable automounting - System-Preferences-Removable Drives and Media | 17:07 |
| Pici | arpharazon: Thats odd. You could try from the gparted live cd, (some googleing involved) if you think its an Ubuntu problem. | 17:07 |
| LjL | Fructo: then lurk :) | 17:07 |
| Zzoli | why? | 17:08 |
| Alejandr0 | <soundray> randomly since my xp sp2 got completely unstable | 17:08 |
| LjL | Zzoli: output of « apt-cache policy wine » in the pastebin please | 17:08 |
| arpharazon | Ah, automounting must be it. | 17:08 |
| * Fructo is lurking | 17:08 | |
| LjL | Zzoli: because that's a stupid way to learn how to install software? | 17:08 |
| arpharazon | Ok thanks guys | 17:08 |
| Logixal | is there something like chkconfig for starting and stopping standard services? | 17:08 |
| LjL | Logixal: sudo invoke-rc.d <service-name> start|stop|restart|force-reload | 17:08 |
| dv_ | I just pooped all over my xorg.conf. how do I fix this? | 17:08 |
| boris | ubuntu wont detect my samsung mobile phone | 17:08 |
| soundray | Alejandr0: it's reasonable to suspect your hardware then. First, make sure that none of the fans are blocked. Then, run memtest86 from the grub boot menu for a couple of hours. | 17:09 |
| R00KIE | hello everyone, i have booted with the amd64 7.10 ubuntu but i can't get network access (at my school it is configured by dhcp) with xp it works but i can't figure it out in ubuntu | 17:09 |
| LjL | !xconfig > dv_ (dv_, see the private message from Ubotu) | 17:09 |
| Zzoli | i'm sorry i'm still a newbie in linux.. | 17:09 |
| Pici | dv_: Nice metaphor. `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` | 17:09 |
| soundray | Alejandr0: memtest86 will tell you if you have bad ram. | 17:09 |
| mnk3ym4n | genii: no dice... still doesn't work... I think the installed unmounted /target/ when I clicked continue to use livecd | 17:09 |
| Logixal | LjL that will work for start stop but i was wondering about what starts at boot | 17:09 |
| bluefox83 | boris, how are you trying to connect with it? bluetooth or usb? | 17:09 |
| Logixal | anything in init.d that is +x basically? | 17:09 |
| Alejandr0 | <soundray> ok, whats hans though | 17:09 |
| Alejandr0 | fans | 17:09 |
| LjL | Logixal: "man update-rc.d" to change what starts at boot | 17:10 |
| arpharazon | Hi again, which plays nicer with the other's apps, KDE or Gnome? | 17:10 |
| dido67 | Hola.... | 17:10 |
| genii | mnk3ym4n: try: sudo chroot /target/ /bin/bash | 17:10 |
| uplinked | can someone please help with compiz? It broke in the update two days ago, reinstalling it wont help, my effects are gone, and all my shortcuts are broken... | 17:10 |
| === olive is now known as olive| | ||
| soundray | Alejandr0: rotating things that move air and cool your computer | 17:10 |
| dv_ | thanks guys | 17:10 |
| LjL | arpharazon: Ubuntu's KDE comes with a wrapper to GTK, which makes GTK/GNOME applications look more like Qt/KDE ones. | 17:10 |
| Logixal | thank you | 17:10 |
| bluefox83 | uplinked, remove all the video drivers you had installed, turn off compiz, restart, then reinstall the drivers and turn compiz back on...that was a problem i had too | 17:10 |
| dido67 | c'è qualche italiano? | 17:10 |
| Pici | !it | dido67 | 17:10 |
| ubotu | dido67: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 17:10 |
| uplinked | bluefox83, how do i find which video drivers i have installed? | 17:11 |
| dido67 | ok | 17:11 |
| Alejandr0 | <soundray> how do i do that and that couldnt cause the cpu to get fried? | 17:11 |
| soundray | Alejandr0: ventilador perhaps? | 17:11 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: I' | 17:11 |
| uplinked | bluefox83, i think it's just the intel one, but i can't remember the package name | 17:11 |
| burg | i can`t find ubuntu-restricted-extras in synaptic package manager | 17:11 |
| RandomUsr | sander? | 17:11 |
| RandomUsr | yes? | 17:11 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: I'm not behind that notebook right now... but I know ccsm | 17:11 |
| anthony__ | Hi, my screens and graphics on gutsy doesnt work well, can I still manually edit the xorg.conf ? | 17:11 |
| soundray | Alejandr0: you just look at them and see if they are rotating. | 17:11 |
| LjL | Zzoli, i told you to pastebin the output of « apt-cache policy wine », please do that. | 17:11 |
| bluefox83 | uplinked, System->Administration-> Restricted Drivers manager will tell you | 17:11 |
| Sander_ | what options do I need to change? | 17:11 |
| mnk3ym4n | genii: failed | 17:11 |
| arpharazon | LjL What about actual function? When I had Kopete on gnome it had these weird issues with sending files and opening links. | 17:12 |
| RandomUsr | Sander, what version of Ubuntu? | 17:12 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: because beryl was able to work on that notebook | 17:12 |
| soundray | Alejandr0: if they are stuck because of dirt, turn your computer off, pull the power cord and clean them carefully | 17:12 |
| uplinked | bluefox83, thanks so much! | 17:12 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: 7.10 | 17:12 |
| LjL | arpharazon: can't really say. | 17:12 |
| Alejandr0 | <soundray> ok, i misread your post | 17:12 |

| bluefox83 | uplinked, don't thank me till you get it working >.> | 17:12 |
| LjL | arpharazon: i try to use KDE apps exclusively - and if i were on GNOME, i'd tend to use GNOME apps exclusively. | 17:12 |

| izm91 | my machine appears to be functioning but not accepting any X input. How can I re-start the X input stuff... keyboard and mouse? | 17:12 |

| LjL | !mountiso > lammy (lammy, see the private message from Ubotu) | 17:12 |
| izm91 | (i'm ssh'd into it) | 17:13 |
| * bluefox83 uses both kde apps and gnome apps, in gnome | 17:13 | |
| uplinked | bluefox83, nothing listed in the restricted manager, i'll go diving through xorg.conf and synaptic to find them | 17:13 |
| Pici | izm91: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart (this will restart your entire X session) | 17:13 |
| RandomUsr | Sander, did you install the restricted drivers? | 17:13 |
| arpharazon | LjL Well, it seems all the apps I like end up being KDE ones. =/ | 17:13 |
| boris | bluefox83 : USB | 17:13 |
| soundray | !mountiso > lammy, please read the private message from ubotu | 17:13 |
| achadwick | anthony__: sure. Ctrl+Alt+F1, log in, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:13 |
| bluefox83 | uplinked, ok...good luck to you | 17:13 |
| uplinked | thanks, i'll let you know how it works | 17:13 |
| bluefox83 | boris, you might try usbview to see if it's even seeing it... | 17:13 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: sure | 17:13 |
| soundray | oops, too slow | 17:13 |
| izm91 | Pici: any way to NOT restart the entire session? | 17:13 |
| lammy | ah! thanks i seek it ... | 17:13 |
| LjL | arpharazon: well if they're a big majority, then why not just switch to KDE? | 17:13 |
| RandomUsr | Sander, are you positive? | 17:13 |
| Pici | izm91: Not to do what you're asking. | 17:13 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: 100% :) | 17:13 |
| izm91 | :( | 17:13 |
| izm91 | so i basically won't know what the problem is, either. | 17:14 |
| RandomUsr | Sander, cuz if you didn´t then things Compiz won´t work | 17:14 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: got that ugly splash screen before x starts :) | 17:14 |
| boris | bluefox83 : i see a icon 'connected to computer' on my phone, but i cant see it on the computer | 17:14 |
| arpharazon | LjL I did read something about gnome being faster. though my performance problems are probably due to poor configuration. | 17:14 |
| RandomUsr | not sure I´m aware of that one | 17:14 |
| anthony__ | achadwick: 10x, I am using gutsy on my laptop and would like to use a 19 inch tft when i connect it to it, and the laptop's monitor when not connected, can this be done without changing the xorg.conf file every time i want to change monitors? 10x | 17:14 |
| bluefox83 | boris, i wouldn't think you would...you might have to mount it like a usb drive | 17:14 |
| izm91 | my capslock on my keyboard doesn't even toggle the LED anymore. | 17:14 |
| LjL | arpharazon: also, you do know that you can have GNOME and KDE installed at the same time, and choose your session at login. and if you already have many KDE applications installed, installing KDE won't even take up much further space | 17:14 |
| boris | bluefox83 : how ? | 17:14 |
| RandomUsr | Sander, did you check the box to enable desktop effects? | 17:14 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: well there is one.. but I knew that.. the problem is (when I start it from a console) that compiz needs more then 64 Mb Ram... | 17:15 |
| JackDirty | Anyone play poker over at FullTilt Poker? If so, do they support Linux? | 17:15 |
| LjL | arpharazon, and i read plenty of stuff about KDE being faster. it's all subjective and depends on *what* is being benchmarked. disregard that sort of claims. | 17:15 |
| bluefox83 | boris, i have no idea, you might try looking for some guides though...someone out there must have figured out how to do it | 17:15 |
| soundray | Trouble installing the ati.com driver: bash ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy gives me this error: cp: cannot stat `./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri': No such file or directory. Any hints or tips? | 17:15 |

| tadah | Hello, I'm in failsafe mode now. Everything's cool here. But if I try to go on normal GNOME session, I enter my login and password, it starts loading, then the screen goes black and throws me back into the login screen. How could I fix it? Thanks | 17:15 |
| arpharazon | LjL Would you happen to have read anything about Opera startup times? | 17:15 |
| arpharazon | LjL Or openoffice? | 17:15 |
| JackDirty | Wine is a emulator? | 17:16 |
| Zzoli | yes.. | 17:16 |
| === general is now known as CISTERNA | ||
| achadwick | anthony__: good question, and I'm uncertain how you'd go about it. Especially if your ain panel is playing up. | 17:16 |
| LjL | Zzoli: you're using WINE from the WineHQ repository. that shouldn't cause any problems on upgrade, however i recommand that, for additional safety, you temporarily remove that repository from your list | 17:16 |
| achadwick | *main panel | 17:16 |
| Sander_ | JackDirty: sort of.. you can run windows apps with it | 17:16 |
| RandomUsr | Sander, thatś a laptop yes? | 17:16 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: yep | 17:16 |
| JackDirty | Oh... cool! Thanks for the tips! I will try that! | 17:16 |
| LjL | arpharazon: not recently. what's the deal with those, though? they're neither GNOME apps nor KDE apps | 17:16 |
| bluefox83 | tadah, that sounds like a tricky problem there... | 17:16 |
| achadwick | Isn't System >Admin>Screens+Graphics supposed to handle multiple monitors these days? | 17:17 |
| eugo | JackDirty: www.winehq.org | 17:17 |
| RandomUsr | Sander, can you allocate more system RAM to the Video Card? | 17:17 |

| izm91 | Pici: thanks, that worked. though i lost my information and don't know what the problem was... :P Now my capslock toggles the light on the keyboard again and everything seems to be normal. | 17:17 |
| JackDirty | eugo: superb! Thanks a million! | 17:17 |
| sublime | who wants to help meeeeee | 17:17 |
| JackDirty | and wish me luck :-) | 17:17 |
| anthony__ | achadwick: previously on feisty, (out of the box) whenever the tft monitor was connected its display used to show, and when not connected the laptops monitor shows, but this has changed in gutsy | 17:17 |
| Pici | izm91: Weird. | 17:17 |
| tadah | bluefox83, any ideas how to solve it? :/ | 17:17 |
| LjL | !ask | sublime | 17:17 |
| ubotu | sublime: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 17:17 |
| arpharazon | LjL, does that mean they'll run the same on both? | 17:17 |
| achadwick | anthony__: Intel chipset at all? | 17:17 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: no clue how to do that.. | 17:17 |
| anthony__ | achadwick: nvidia 7300 go | 17:18 |
| RandomUsr | ok, who´s the manufacturer of your laptop? | 17:18 |
| uplinked | bluefox83, I'm about to remove xserver-xorg-video-intel, does that sound right to you? (I know I'm on the intel driver, is this the right package?) | 17:18 |
| bluefox83 | tadah, only thing i can think of is to reconfigure xorg.conf with sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg, but i might be wrong...that's just all i can think of | 17:18 |
| sublime | I have dapper drake installed currently and can't install 7.04 or 7.10. When I try xserver fails and says there's no screen | 17:18 |
| bluefox83 | uplinked, sounds about right... | 17:18 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: Toshiba | 17:18 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: M200 Portege to be exact :) | 17:18 |
| bluefox83 | uplinked, be aware, after you remove it, you need to kill X and reinstall it from terminal... | 17:18 |
| LjL | arpharazon, not necessarily. Opera uses Qt by default, which is the same toolkit used by KDE... however, i believe that Opera has Qt statically linked in, so i'm afraid that won't give any performance advantages. OpenOffice uses GTK as a back-end, but the slowness at startup is probably 99% *not* due to GTK, so there will hardly be any difference | 17:18 |
| soundray | sublime: are you trying to upgrade or a fresh install? | 17:19 |
| RandomUsr | Sander, something doesn´t seem quite right | 17:19 |
| sublime | soundray, upgrade | 17:19 |
| uplinked | bluefox83, figured that'd happen. thanks! | 17:19 |
| arnducky_ | sublime, Ubuntu usually requires stepwise upgrades, have you tried Edgy Eft *before* stepping up again to Feisty? | 17:19 |
| sublime | edgy eft would be 6.10? | 17:19 |
| bluefox83 | uplinked, no prob, i hope it works for ya =) | 17:19 |
| arpharazon | LjL In that case I guess I'm going with KDE. | 17:19 |
| achadwick | anthony__: I won't be able to help, but a dig through https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs for gutsy and your model number may help | 17:19 |
| soundray | sublime: if you're upgrading, you have to go via edgy (6.10). | 17:19 |
| LjL | arpharazon, i suggest that you just try installing kubuntu-desktop, test it for a couple of days/weeks, and see how comfortable you are with it. you can always go back to GNOME at any time. | 17:19 |
| RandomUsr | Sander type this into xchat text: / join # compiz-fusion | 17:19 |
| anthony__ | achadwick: 10x ill take it from there | 17:19 |
| * achadwick heads off in the general direction of a weekend | 17:19 | |
| RandomUsr | sander, but without the spaces | 17:19 |
| soundray | sublime: it's probably more trouble than it's worth. Do a backup and a reinstall using 7.10. | 17:20 |
| sublime | soundray, where can i get edgy iso from? | 17:20 |
| Sander_ | I'm already in that channel.. I'm not new to linux/compiz... | 17:20 |
| sublime | soundray, that's the thing, i can't | 17:20 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: But I just can't figure this out by myself | 17:20 |
| arnducky_ | Also, you might wish to start with a fresh install *after* backing up and then restore/reinstall programs on the new Feisty or Gutsy | 17:20 |
| LjL | arpharazon, also, KOffice is much faster to startup that OpenOffice, and also features an interesting interface, although it's less mature and a bit too prone to crash | 17:20 |
| soundray | sublime: why? | 17:20 |
| Sander_ | RandomUsr: well I'll try them for further advise.. thanks for your time! | 17:20 |
| psofa | anyone knows how can i stop the fb spash at bootup,and how cani boot into text mode? thanks | 17:21 |

| sublime | soundray, i run the live cd and it tries to start gnome, it flashes, and then it says running local boot scripts and then it just hangs | 17:21 |
| arpharazon | LjL I did use KDE for a couple of months about a year ago. Then I installed gnome, mostly out of curiosity. I don't like having two desktop managers though. | 17:21 |
| LjL | arpharazon: i wasn't proposing that you *kept* two desktop managers - just for a period of time, until you settled on one. | 17:21 |
| soundray | sublime: have you tried the Safe Graphics option from the boot menu? | 17:21 |
| sublime | soundray: yeah | 17:21 |

| arnducky_ | sublime, why don't you pastebin your hardware config ... oh then try being patient RIGHT NOW -- heh | 17:22 |
| arpharazon | LjL Ah | 17:22 |
| sublime | arnducky_: xorg.conf? | 17:22 |
| skeeel | any idea about the issue ? | 17:23 |
| soundray | sublime: consider using the alternate CD | 17:23 |
| soundray | !alternate | sublime | 17:23 |
| ubotu | sublime: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal | 17:23 |
| sublime | soundray: i did that and it didn't work | 17:23 |
| soundray | sublime: how did that fail then? | 17:23 |
| lusien | Ljl: works with su -c... do you think it's safe to launch su user -c epiphany? this script must be root because it's under /etc/acpi... | 17:23 |
| sublime | soundray: like nothing installed. Half of the stuff said it was corrupted and then the kernel didn't install etc | 17:23 |
| arnducky_ | sublime, what about xorg.conf, and also, I recommend taking an 40 min - one hour (or whatever, depending on your hardware) to validate the Ubuntu install media | 17:24 |
| arpharazon | What's the difference between the kubuntu cd and dvd? | 17:24 |
| LjL | lusien: i can't think why you would start epiphany from a root script that's run at boot (assuming it is)... but as far as i know, it should be safe. make sure there is "--login" too, though | 17:24 |
| soundray | sublime: that was a bad CD probably | 17:24 |
| LjL | arpharazon: the DVD contains more packages. | 17:24 |
| LjL | arpharazon: but you can get them from the internet using APT anyway | 17:24 |
| sublime | so two things to try are waiting longer for the live cd and using the 7.10 alternate cd? | 17:25 |
| sten | can anyone give me a link to pidgin debian package? | 17:25 |
| lusien | no it's a script that runs after i press a hotkey on my keyboard | 17:25 |
| arnducky_ | sublime, my paranoia *almost* always compells me to do this by calculating a checksum and comparing it to a GPG signed hash from an official source | 17:25 |
| arpharazon | LjL Oh ok then... By the way, I can't pick what packages are on my livecd, can I? | 17:25 |
| lusien | it's managed by /acpi/events... | 17:25 |

| Pici | jdong: I thought iptables was running by default.. | 17:45 |
| jdong | Logixal: the services installed by default are designed to be accessible from the network (that's why you installed a server, right?) hence a firewall adds no additional security | 17:45 |

| Veovis | grubhelp: so when you turn on your computer it just says "filesystem not found" an stops? or does it boot windows? | 17:53 |

| Dr_willis | Pancakes, its always worth while to learn vi. :) install the 'full' vi package - it has those features. | 17:55 |
| jdong | Evanlec: people tend to think firewalls are some sort of magical security-enhancing thing.... like an AI that's always watching your traffic looking for hackers | 17:55 |
| LjL | Ubuntu_Expert, NET||abuse: i suppose the "gammu", "gnokii" and "wammu" packages might also be worth a look at | 17:55 |
| craigc | can someone test my ftp / help me set it up. I have done it before on windows but getting a bit flumoxed with GPROFTP | 17:55 |
| jdong | Evanlec: hence it sounds *really good* to turn one on ;-) | 17:55 |
| Logixal | Dr_willis: ok ssh localhost asked to accept cert and added localhost to list how do i add * to allowed | 17:55 |
| Dr_willis | Name141, looke like the card can only handle 16 depth then. | 17:55 |
| Veovis | grubhelp: so are you reinstalling right now? | 17:55 |
| anabelle | does kubuntu 7.10 install compiz by default? | 17:55 |
| Veovis | anbelle: yes | 17:55 |
| Pici | anabelle: no. | 17:55 |
| Niklas_E | is there any way to do so the tvtime or mythtv uses the pal and not the dvb driver for the tv card? | 17:56 |
| kbrooks | anabelle, refocus your thoughts. the answer is yes but it switches down to 2d when the card doesnt support 3d | 17:56 |
| Name141 | Dr_willis, OK. | 17:56 |
| Vlet | Logixal: check the ssh manpage | 17:56 |
| Ubuntu_Expert | Which would be the least hard to get installed. Im on a dialup. | 17:56 |
| Evanlec | jdong, understandable, but why would microsoft developers think it was so important to have one? or is it more just to make people feel safer? | 17:56 |
| Name141 | Dr_willis, any other way to speed it up inside of linux? | 17:56 |
| Dr_willis | Logixal, well that shows the server is working at least. On my local lan ive just isntalled the ssh server on each box and its worked for me. Not sure what part to troubleshoot next. | 17:56 |
| grubhelp | i'm going through the menu. I want to see if i can get it to work. I hope I don't lose data. | 17:56 |
| kbrooks | Evanlec, latter. also as a way to fix their own errors. | 17:56 |
| smoenux | I cannot see other computers on the network (Windows or Mac). can someone assist? | 17:56 |
| jdong | Evanlec: the only other advantage to a firewall is for users who run software that happens to open up ports, or do other mean things | 17:56 |
| Logixal | Dr_willis strange thing is www is public on network just fine | 17:56 |
| Dr_willis | Name141, its a low end card :) reduce your seceen size, use a lightter window manager. abouit all ya can do. | 17:56 |
| hipodilski | whawhat gui software to use to use a wireless card? | 17:56 |
| Pici | kbrooks: Veovis: anabelle: No, Kubuntu does not ship with Compiz, Ubuntu does. | 17:56 |
| Logixal | i will man and see if its a tweak | 17:56 |
| Pici | !compiz-#kubuntu | anabelle | 17:57 |
| ubotu | anabelle: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 17:57 |
| trekkme | which command do i put into a desktopstarter if i want it at doublick open a terminal und execute one command in that terminal? | 17:57 |
| hipodilski | I'm running ubuntu with gnome | 17:57 |
| jdong | Evanlec: the argument is that a firewall makes it so that only root (admin) can specify what ports can listen, rather than empowering the user with that | 17:57 |
| resakse | anyone know how to display 3gp files as a thumbnail? | 17:57 |
| Name141 | Dr_willis, I am on XFCE, and 800x600 | 17:57 |
| Vlet | hipodilski: the network manager should allow you to set it up fine | 17:57 |
| kbrooks | Pici, why doesn't it? | 17:57 |
| jdong | Evanlec: IMO that's a flawed argument. If you cannot trust your programs not to open random ports, you've got a lot of other problems at your hands. | 17:57 |
| Name141 | Dr_willis, Would fluxbox be worth trying? | 17:57 |
| Dr_willis | Name141, shall i point out that WalMart is going to be selling $200 Linux PC's soon. :) | 17:57 |
| hipodilski | Vlet: the gnome network manager? | 17:57 |
| Vlet | hipodilski: yes | 17:57 |
| * grubhelp crosses fingers. | 17:57 | |
| Pici | kbrooks: because kde4 will be using its own composting thingy, not compiz. I believe it was done in preparation for that. | 17:57 |
| hipodilski | Vlet: does it support scanning of networks and listing the available networks | 17:57 |
| Name141 | Dr_willis, LOL. No, I have no money. | 17:57 |
| hipodilski | ? | 17:57 |
| Dr_willis | Name141, why not. :) it cant hurt. Its easy to get fluxbox going | 17:57 |
| craigc | no ftp guru's ? | 17:57 |
| bpat1434 | Dr_willis: where'd you hear that? | 17:57 |
| smoenux | I cannot see other computers on the network (Windows or Mac). can someone assist? | 17:58 |
| Dr_willis | bpat1434, it was on the web sites last nioght. let me find the url | 17:58 |
| jdong | Evanlec: and MS hasn't worked all that hard on a firewall... the Windows firewall is a trivial inbound firewall that probably took one guy an afternoon to write. | 17:58 |
| grubhelp | There should really be a "Guided: Use entire Partition" | 17:58 |

| Logixal | My bad I thought it was something supported or sent out by Ubuntu officially | 18:21 |
| rico | hipodilski, by any chance are you using Intel GMA965? | 18:21 |
| rico | a.k.a., X3100 (i think) | 18:21 |
| pike_ | Logixal: /join #ubuntu-offtopic there are quite a few of us in there :) | 18:21 |
| Pici | Logixal: I dont know how you thought that. | 18:22 |
| Pici | rico: x#### cards are ATI, not intel. | 18:22 |
| SeanTater | hipodilski: You seem to have built in graphics. It probably does not have the necessary acceleration for special effects (whough I am no experct on the subject) | 18:22 |
| orionr | Hey is anyone here running duel monitors? | 18:22 |
| SeanTater | whough=though | 18:22 |
| hipodilski | rico: yes gm965/gl960 | 18:22 |
| Pici | !cfbl | hipodilski please read | 18:22 |
| ubotu | hipodilski please read: Desktop Effects are supported on graphics cards that use the default Intel and ATI drivers and the restricted !NVIDIA drivers, except for the following, which are blacklisted due to stability/compatibility issues: Intel 965, ATI Rs480 and Rv350, ATI Mobility x300, x600 and x700 - Join #compiz-fusion for anything not officially supported by Ubuntu | 18:22 |
| rico | Pici, I have the same card and it's apparently marketed as X3100 | 18:22 |
| hipodilski | rico: ? | 18:22 |
| rico | hipodilski, yes there's a way. mkdir ~/.config/compiz | 18:23 |
| Pici | rico: Really? thats odd. | 18:23 |
| Pici | hipodilski: read what ubotu said. | 18:23 |
| whatspy | LjL: what you said a bit earlier actually explains a lot of things I didn't understand | 18:23 |
| * SeanTater stands corrected | 18:23 | |

| hipodilski | rico: I don't know but there may be problems right? | 18:25 |

| outerlimit | I just upgraded to 7.10 from 7.04, and I no longer have dual monitor support. The "Screens and Graphics" applet is terrible at trying to set this up...

Any suggestions? | 18:27 |
| tonynlisa | Freak : I've had that. You can actually use the ubuntu installer CD. It has gparted and has better video detection | 18:27 |

| rico | for your display? | 18:30 |
| tonynlisa | one more thing.... You should also go into prefs > removable media | 18:31 |

| Wa1337 | hi can some1 help me to move my AWM? I want 2, 1 up, and 1 down. | 19:52 |
| UbuntuPwns | caner, oh ok, i thought you just wanted to see a list of your connected usb devices | 19:52 |
| MilitantPotato | Alejandr0: then sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/status | 19:52 |
| neverblue | !ask | Benalex | 19:52 |
| ubotu | Benalex: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 19:52 |
| EminX | confuzed: so Adobe is better, right ? | 19:53 |
| BubblegumTate | Eminx: Only if to prefer functionality | 19:53 |
| Wa1337 | hi can some1 help me to move my AWM? I want 2, 1 up, and 1 down. | 19:53 |
| confuzed | EminX, if your using youtube... I would say yes | 19:53 |
| Benalex | this is the first time for me to use ubuntu, I know that each time i need to install some program, it has to be downloaded from the internet, which i don't have always, so i downloaded 4 iso dvd of the repositories, and I need to use them from the add/remove without burning them to discs, is there some way to do so? | 19:54 |
| Alejandr0 | rMilitantPotato: it says that : mdir: /var/lib/dpkg/status: Is not a directory | 19:54 |
| EminX | confuzed: thanks a lot | 19:54 |
| scragar | EminX: yes and no. since it's official it's more likly to work, however since it's closed source it's also more likly to contain bugs and be slightly slower. | 19:54 |
| CaptainMorgan | does Gutsy run with the new .23 Kernel ? | 19:54 |
| Squalish | On Synaptic... how precisely would one add the following repository:http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/miro/linux/repositories/ubuntu/gutsy/ | 19:54 |
| Alejandr0 | MilitantPotato: it says that : rmdir: /var/lib/dpkg/status: Is not a directory | 19:54 |
| confuzed | EminX, if you just want occasional support for flash... gnash is great... especially if your a Open Source NAZI | 19:54 |
| Wa1337 | hi can some1 help me to move my AWM? I want 2, 1 up, and 1 down. | 19:54 |

| Squalish | scragar: I need to know how to add this repository: http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/miro/linux/repositories/ubuntu/gutsy/ to synaptic | 19:57 |
| confuzed | EminX, I wouldn't... I always use the Adobe player... the only people I know that use gnash are people who are trying to go completely FOSS | 19:58 |

When I try to logon GNOME session, I enter my login and password, the session starts loading, then the screen goes black and throws me back to the login screen. How could I fix it? I think it's after I've done some commands from: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Configuring ; Thanks for any help! | 19:58 |
| scragar | Squalish: then under third party you can add URLs | 19:58 |

| EminX | confuzed: Or do you recommend to go with Gnash | 20:00 |
| confuzed | EminX, I wouldn't, I'd imagine that installing a second one would just uninstall the first.... I can't imagine that they are compatible | 20:00 |
| tadah | bosworth, well I think so | 20:00 |

| scragar | Squalish: what repositiory did you add exactly? | 20:00 |
| EminX | confuzed: ok I understand, than I'll go with Gnash | 20:00 |
| daef | i found a huge one! | 20:00 |
| scragar | daef: tell the gnu site about it. | 20:00 |
| confuzed | EminX, I would use Adobe's... it's the official flash plug-in and will support all flash implementations... while you might have problems with Gnash | 20:01 |
| Alejandr0 | MilitantPotato: What really makes me think this is totally screwed is the message that says that an impossible to fix problem has occured... | 20:01 |
| EminX | confuzed: ok thanks | 20:01 |
| Squalish | scragar: I got to "third party software", I click "add", I enter... what precisely? The repository is here: http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/miro/linux/repositories/ubuntu/gutsy/ | 20:01 |

Can someone help me? It all worked fine with Xubuntu and Ubuntu 7.04 but the Gibbon doesn't do anything... | 20:01 |
| Squalish | scragar: Miro's site appears to have a typo on it when I enter it in, the slash between ubuntu and gutsy is turned into a space - and that wouldn't work either | 20:01 |
| hoarycripple | bosworth, that should be ctrl+alt+f1 | 20:01 |
| daef | it's not a gpl license i read.. | 20:01 |

| Alejandr0 | MilitantPotato: do u think if i upgrade to gutsy, this problem might be solved? | 20:02 |
| orgthingy | i cant play mp3 files! | 20:02 |

| Alejandr0 | MilitantPotato: My xp sp2 became totally unstable from what i think was a hardware prob, then ubuntu began crashing and once i got a huge crash which reported lots of error messages, perhaps the configuration was changed there. | 20:04 |

| MilitantPotato | Alejandr0: yes, but make sure your hardware issues are fixed | 20:07 |
| pike_ | bosworth: what app | 20:07 |
| MilitantPotato | Alejandr0: but ask someone else, I'd hate for you to reformat if you don't need to. | 20:08 |
| scragar | bpat1434: not from synaptic, but from the Java installers yes. | 20:08 |
| Squalish | scragar: the 0.9.9.1-rc1 which I downloaded manually previously onto my desktop, and the 0.9.8.1 that is in the Ubuntu add/remove programs list | 20:08 |

| KillahB | Rictoo: not sure, never used anything else since brasero has done everything i need :/ | 20:11 |
| Logixal | humm | 20:11 |

| Drin | logixal, it should mount automatically. if not you'll need to "pmount" or "mount" it | 20:11 |
| Rictoo | Drin: The Ubuntu precompiled kernel has automounting enabled iirc | 20:12 |

| scragar | Squalish: none, in my experience the repository has always been spot on. If you don't need the latest version though always install the synaptic version, that way it's kept up to date easier. | 20:14 |

| demon_spork | I created a boot cd for Gutsy and then installed Vista. and now the boot cd doesn't work, it worked before installing vista and after installing XP thrice. It keeps taking me to busybox and (initramfs) | 20:19 |
| xtlosx | Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 20:20 |
| masmota | demon_spork: you need to reinstall grub i think | 20:20 |
| bastid_raZor | xtlosx, in synaptic, the GUI tool, search for firefox. it'll give you the package name and ability to install | 20:20 |

| usrl | chazco: could be firefox settings, network programs, or you're missing a plugin like flash | 20:30 |
| ikonia | Barbarello: then your screwed | 20:30 |

However, I could only get 800 x 600 resolution once I logged in. Is there a way to "reset" the card I chose? How do I get back to that configuration screen? | 20:45 |
| hoarycripple | hipodilski, wifi-radar is pretty good | 20:45 |
| nixn00b | Dante123, what graphics card? | 20:45 |

| hipodilski | hoarycripple: does it support to connect to hosts? | 20:45 |
| LjL | Aquilai: not sure. check your /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages for, say, any IRQ problems or other suspicious things, though. perhaps you should almost mention in the report that the symptoms look similar to those of bug #39315 (if they indeed are). perhaps you should also see if you can reproduce the behavior from a live CD. try also passing "noapic" and/or "nolapic" and/or "noacpi" and/or "acpi=off" as kernel parameters, and see if the problem persists. | 20:45 |
| LjL | report all that in the bug report. | 20:45 |
| Dante123 | cheap ndvidia geforce mx4000 | 20:46 |

| LjL | PirateHead, if it's pure C and not C++, you need to #include <stdio.h> - the ".h" counts | 20:46 |
| Aquilai | This is where I wish I had stickies in linux | 20:46 |
| Aquilai | to note everything down | 20:46 |
| james296 | what does everyone think of the Gimmie menu for the panel? | 20:47 |
| PirateHead | LjL: I am using the .h | 20:47 |
| LjL | Aquilai: uhm, you do... it's an applet you can add to the GNOME panel, i'm sure, although i use kde | 20:47 |
| hipodilski | hoarycripple: is that the best one | 20:47 |
| Aquilai | Anyone know a ubuntu/linux version of Stickies (Windows sticky notes program) | 20:47 |
| Dante123 | nixn00b I did use the proprietary driver. and it "seems" to work although it kicks me out of full screen when playing netpanzer once in a while. | 20:47 |
| hoarycripple | PirateHead, see my comment above | 20:47 |
| SoulSeeker | how to mout hdd if it is connected to my pc on VIA VT6421 ide raid controler ? | 20:47 |
| LjL | PirateHead: then "sudo apt-get install build-essential" | 20:47 |
| smoenux | Aquila .... Tomboy | 20:47 |
| Drin | aquilai, gdesklets has them | 20:47 |
| nixn00b | Dante123, so i dont understand what you problemis then? | 20:47 |
| PirateHead | hoarycripple, LjL: build-essential and libc6 are both installed and updated to the latest version | 20:47 |
| riotkittie | what does Stickies do exactly/ | 20:48 |
| smoenux | Aquila: Tomboy is the best :) ... you can even link notes to each other ets. | 20:48 |
| Dante123 | riotkittie thanks...screen and graphics is the place | 20:48 |
| smoenux | Aquilai: Tomboy is the best :) ... you can even link notes to each other ets. | 20:48 |
| Aquilai | kk I'm looking into it right now | 20:48 |
| LjL | PirateHead, can you pastebin the whole command and its output, assuming it's longer than just that error line? | 20:48 |
| * UbuntuPwns loves Tomboy notes | 20:48 | |
| smoenux | Aquilai: if you are running ubuntu... just add it to your panel | 20:48 |

| Dante123 | well nixn00b the login screen resolution kind of poor (fonts dispay poorly) once you login it seems to kick in with proprietary driver but like I said sometime s when playing netpanzer in full screen it kicks me out to a window screen for no apparent reason. I was wondering if misassigning the graphics card the first time....then using proprietary driver mangled a config file or something. Maybe I just worry too much. | 20:50 |
| LjL | PirateHead, there is a space between the "<" and "stdio" | 20:50 |
| hoarycripple | PirateHead, stdio.h | 20:50 |
| PirateHead | LjL: oh, I took that for granted. | 20:50 |
| chelooxxx | i`ve red somewhere that the security on ubuntu is very high | 20:50 |
| PirateHead | gcc picky about whitespace, eh? | 20:51 |
| karim_ | I install ubuntu gutsy on a powerpc G3, and the install stays blocked at 82%, the installer wants to acces a realease file with apt on a mirror but says it can't. THe problem is that I can't cancel this stage | 20:51 |
| LjL | PirateHead: of course. it'll look for a file called " stdio.h" -- nothing would prevent one from existing | 20:51 |
| chelooxxx | can u give me a link with this subjecT? | 20:51 |
| Aquilai | Ah I see! It's already installed | 20:51 |
| PirateHead | Ahh, now it works. | 20:51 |

| karim_ | help | 20:51 |
| PurpZeY | I hear that one of Guty's benefits is better battery management, how much better is it? And if I upgrade and all goes well, do my gnome settings, e.g. wallpaper, themes, docks, panel setups, get reset? | 20:51 |
| LjL | Aquilai: err yes, that was the point :P you just need to add it to the panel. right click, add applet, etc | 20:51 |
| hoarycripple | LjL, haha, yeah i was going to comment about the whitespace...good call | 20:51 |
| james296 | what does everyone think of the Gimmie menu for the panel? | 20:52 |

| Aquilai | PurpZeY: your gnome settings if saved on a /home partition will stay | 20:54 |
| soundray | PurpZeY: it's better to ask one question at a time. | 20:54 |
| corte123 | anyone running thinkpad x60 with ubuntu? | 20:54 |

| bo | its my first time here: youre talking bout computers? | 20:55 |
| PurpZeY | How significant is the battery control difference from feisty to Gutsy? | 20:55 |
| soundray | PurpZeY: you can upgrade without losing your current settings (whether you have a home partition or not) | 20:55 |
| ReL1K | ive been listening to sirius through mozilla for awhile now, just mysteriously stopped working today, anyone got any ideas? | 20:55 |

| MattJ100 | MettleDk: There are a few clients supporting Jingle | 20:57 |
| MattJ100 | MettleDk: A while since I used it, but there is one called Jabbin | 20:57 |
| PurpZeY | soundray: Yeah...leads me to believe sticking with feisty is still the way to go | 20:57 |
| MettleDk | MattJ100: Hm... I think I tried Jabbin - but it only supported the text-thing. Not voice | 20:58 |
| MattJ100 | MettleDk: No, it definitely supports voice | 20:58 |
| PirateHead | jimjackson: try Audacity | 20:58 |

| tadah | Hello, i'm on failsafe mode now and everything's cool here, but when I try to logon GNOME session, I enter my login and password, the session starts loading, then the screen goes black and throws me back to the login screen. How could I fix it? I think it's after I've done some commands of aticonfig from: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Configuring ; Thanks for any help! | 20:58 |
| soundray | PurpZeY: if you do a solid backup first, there's no harm in upgrading to gutsy. My prediction is that you will stick with it once you've upgraded :) | 20:58 |
| usrl | When I try to switch to a terminal session with CTRL+ALT+F1-6, my monitor says "no signal". Does anyone have an idea what I can do to fix this? I think I remember seeing a tut once to resize the terminal, anyone know where that is so I could try it? | 20:58 |
| PurpZeY | tadah: Sounds like you might need dpkg reconfig | 20:58 |
| PirateHead | jimjackson: you can import various audio streams and then export them as a single audio stream after manipulating them | 20:58 |
| MettleDk | Hm... I'll give Jabbin another go | 20:59 |
| MettleDk | thanks | 20:59 |
| Pancakes | In order for me to get awn to work, I have to go in the terminal and type avant-window-navigator. But if I close that terminal awn stops working, how do I fix this?:/ | 20:59 |

| bo | no place to talk about politics fe | 20:59 |
| jimjackson | I want to join video files together... like I have so many youtube clips converted to mpg/avi.. how can I do this ?? | 20:59 |
| soundray | PurpZeY: like I say, backup... | 20:59 |
| proprietarysucks | Pancakes: this happens because you are running it within another command, the terminal. to avoid this, try alt-f2 and type that in there | 20:59 |
| PurpZeY | soundray: Backup just homedir? you'd suggest? | 21:00 |
| NSM | Pancakes: avant-window-navagator & | 21:00 |
| soundray | tadah: have you installed xserver-xgl by any chance? | 21:00 |
| tadah | soundray, yes | 21:00 |
| MattJ100 | bo: Type: /join #politics | 21:00 |
| soundray | PurpZeY: no, I mean everything. So you can go back to feisty without any quibbles, if need be. | 21:00 |
| PurpZeY | soundray: How would I go about back up my whole hd? | 21:01 |
| usrl | Come on, I know at least one of you knows where I can find a tutorial on changing the size of a terminal session =/ | 21:01 |
| PirateHead | jimjackson: aah, you're talking about a video editor, not an audio one | 21:01 |
| MattJ100 | bo: This is IRC, there are many rooms. This one is only about Ubuntu support | 21:01 |
| Pancakes | NSM, I type that in the terminal? | 21:01 |

| jimjackson | yes | 21:01 |
| marc_ | is thErE an iso Extractor for ubuntu? | 21:02 |

| lasse | I installed an alternate flash-codec/player for firefox - but it doesnt seem to work as well as the org. one - how do i change back to the other one ? | 21:02 |

| masmota | jimjackson: not sure of any programs but maybe try > cat file1 file2 file3 >joinedfile | 21:02 |
| jimjackson | marc_: yup.. can use acetoneiso2 | 21:02 |
| Odd-rationale | marc_: Try right-clicking the iso | 21:02 |
| proprietarysucks | marc_: you don't need an iso 'extractor' in linux | 21:02 |
| Pancakes | proprietarysucks, if I type it from Alt+F2 it just says the file can't be located. What should I type exactly in it? | 21:02 |
| jimjackson | PirateHead: thanks | 21:02 |
| NSM | Pancakes: if you do put an & it will allow you to continue using the same terminal but if you close it your program will close too. Misread what you were asking. | 21:02 |

| proprietarysucks | k3b is the best and easiest burning software, similar to nero but without all the stupid extras | 21:05 |
| soundray | Yodude: if that system has a standard serial modem, you don't need anything other than what comes on the regular install CD. | 21:05 |
| Yodude | soundary: you understand the situation ? | 21:05 |

| gb_1 | it is a big file :) | 21:08 |
| soundray | Yodude: my advice is: don't rely on a winmodem. Your friend will only get frustrated. And probably you will, too. Find an old serial modem, it's not difficult | 21:08 |
| Yodude | soundray: i just need to know the packages that the winmodem scasnner in the restriced manager fetches, so that i can download them and move them there, so that he can install them | 21:09 |

| nico8481 | dn4, yeah but did you manage to sync a palm over it? | 21:12 |
| s00p | proprietarysucks: what did you start on? | 21:12 |
| SeanTater | dn4: 45 minutes, 30 seconds | 21:12 |
| soundray | Yodude: no, but I generally follow my own advice and save myself the heartache of trying to get winmodems to do anything useful. | 21:12 |
| nico8481 | oops | 21:12 |
| SeanTater | dn4: that's the eta | 21:13 |
| nico8481 | gb_1, yeah but did you manage to sync a palm over it? | 21:13 |
| proprietarysucks | 286 a little but mainly 386sx and then dx | 21:13 |
| gb_1 | Odd-rationale: 1 more question :-D | 21:13 |
| gb_1 | nico nada | 21:13 |
| s00p | proprietarysucks: TRS80 model1 here... then a C64 | 21:13 |
| SeanTater | dn4: however -- let me adjust | 21:13 |
| Odd-rationale | gb_1: ? | 21:13 |
| soundray | PurpZeY: you can store the images on a partition that you're not imaging at that moment. | 21:13 |
| proprietarysucks | see you are a better man | 21:13 |
| Pancakes | s00p, where do I go exactly to open nautilus?:/ | 21:13 |
| tadah | soundray, when i logged onto the normal gnome session, i got a message, which i could read, because now somehow my graphical center is on the right edge, so i've seen only about the half of the message. | 21:13 |
| gb_1 | odd will it upgrade my current ubuntu or would fresh install? | 21:13 |
| teuz | ciao a tutti io ho un probelma con la mia scheda wifi: io ho il un file con il firmware che devo caricare tramite la gui del restricted driver come faccia a farglielo caricare in auto senza ogni volta andare in restricted driver e farglielo caricare a mano grazie | 21:13 |
| Yodude | soudray: you | 21:13 |
| proprietarysucks | Pancakes: alt-f2 type in nautilus | 21:13 |
| Yodude | soundray: you're right, hehe i hate them too | 21:13 |
| s00p | pancakes are you in GNOME or KDE? | 21:13 |
| masmota | teuz: eh? | 21:13 |
| proprietarysucks | doesn't matter my way works in both | 21:13 |
| Odd-rationale | gb_1: It is a fresh install. There is a mini.iso of gutsy | 21:14 |
| NSM | Yodude: linmodems.org may help also. | 21:14 |
| critt | Anyone any good with Firefox problems?? | 21:14 |
| teuz | masmota, hehehehho scritto male? | 21:14 |
| gb_1 | aaw :( | 21:14 |
| SeanTater | dn4: oops -- that would be 12 days at 12mbit | 21:14 |
| PurpZeY | soundray: Yes. I imagine I could that...I have 60 g I think... | 21:14 |
| usrl | ok, I tried setting my menu.lst to "vga=normal", and my monitor still goes NO SIGNAL when I CTRL+ALT+F1 =/ I've tried just about everything I can think of, and google is no help. | 21:14 |
| Odd-rationale | gb_1: What are you trying to do? | 21:14 |
| gnuskool | critt: whats the problem | 21:14 |
| proprietarysucks | critt: I'm guessing all those people sitting in #firefox are | 21:14 |
| dn4 | SeanTater, that sounds about right | 21:14 |
| Pancakes | GNOME | 21:14 |
| gb_1 | i have made a server , worked hard on it, | 21:14 |
| soundray | tadah: did you have this trouble from the beginning, or did you do something to mess it up like that? | 21:14 |
| gb_1 | dont want fresh install :( | 21:15 |
| proprietarysucks | Pancakes: alt-f2 type in nautilus press enter | 21:15 |
| SeanTater | dn4: or about 15, and you have to calculate overhead, so it's closer to 18 | 21:15 |
| mcquaid | ok i only recently upgraded to gutsy and I'm noticing this the last few days. In gmail using ff, sometimes while typing an email it slows down my typing to a crawl | 21:15 |
| Odd-rationale | gb_1: And you want to upgrade to Gutsy? | 21:15 |
| Pancakes | Yeah I did. And where's preferences? | 21:15 |
| mcquaid | but yet the system remains responsive everywhere else | 21:15 |
| mcquaid | anyone have this issue? | 21:15 |
| gb_1 | yes odd | 21:15 |
| gb_1 | MMon edgy now | 21:15 |
| s00p | Pancakes: nautilus is your file browser. | 21:15 |
| critt | Propritarysucks: I did ask earlier with no answer if there was a chat for firefox help . Thanks | 21:15 |
| SeanTater | dn4: the formula: ((32*(2**30))/(12*(2**20))*8)/60/24 | 21:16 |
| gnuskool | oin/join ubuntu off-topic | 21:16 |

| Pancakes | s00p, yeah I know that now. You told me to go to nautilus and then go to preferences though, so where's preferences? | 21:16 |
| proprietarysucks | Pancakes: really? click edit > preferences | 21:16 |
| proprietarysucks | come on man | 21:16 |
| s00p | click edit | 21:17 |
| Pancakes | Ah I must be blind | 21:17 |

| proprietarysucks | usrl: do you know what menu.lst is? | 21:17 |
| gb_1 | odd thank you very much for ur help :) | 21:17 |
| soundray | tadah: I see. The quickest way back to a working setup for you is probably a reinstall. Consider saving the .deb files in /var/cache/archives/ if you go down that route. On the fresh install, you can just put them back and you won't have to re-download them. | 21:18 |
| usrl | proprietarysucks: yes | 21:18 |
| Odd-rationale | gb_1: np didn't do much... | 21:18 |
| proprietarysucks | it has nothing to do with your OS so I doubt that | 21:18 |
| soundray | tadah: sorry, the path is /var/cache/apt/archives | 21:18 |
| usrl | proprietarysucks: Everything I've read about terminals involves it. | 21:18 |
| kristjans | Can anyone check if this should work, especially the grub-install part? http://pastebin.com/m7330675f | 21:18 |
| usrl | proprietarysucks: setting the size, that is. | 21:18 |
| tadah | ahh damn.. hoped something easier:/ | 21:18 |

| Bruno_ | which .iso file do i have to download i get it working on an iBook | 21:19 |
| PurpZeY | darkangel_: I was reading about that last night, and I read that you need to install a few modules...ppp and some things, but I don't know specific detials | 21:19 |

| gryfie__ | ok, the via -unichromedriver from via-websites says, it's for ubuntu 7.04 | 21:20 |
| gryfie__ | where can i find ubuntu 7.04 ? | 21:20 |
| Bruno_ | which .iso file do i have to download i get it working on an iBook | 21:20 |
| proprietarysucks | usrl: that file is for grub, which is loaded before your OS. switching terminals is part of linux, which has nothing to do with grub | 21:20 |
| tadah | ok, thanks man :) | 21:20 |

| proprietarysucks | usrl: paste this please. | 21:20 |
| usrl | proprietarysucks: again, if you know so much, tell me what does then. | 21:20 |
| soundray | kristjans: it should work, but instead of all that chroot-bind hassle, consider grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/disk | 21:21 |
| Bruno_ | which .iso file do i have to download i get it working on an iBook | 21:21 |
| Pancakes | k thanks. Looks better now than having those huge icons. I have another question. I have to do a ndiswrapper for my wireless network adapter each time I boot, how can I make it so that I don't have to type sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and sudo dmesg | grep ndis | 21:21 |
| proprietarysucks | if I know so much? | 21:21 |
| darkangel_ | anyone here know how to use bitpim | 21:21 |
| usrl | proprietarysucks: sorry if I'm being rude, but this is really pissing me off | 21:21 |

| soundray | kristjans: man grub-install will shed more light | 21:21 |
| kristjans | soundray, remove the chroot stuff and use grub-install -root blabla? :) | 21:21 |

| gb_1 | Odd-rationale: 1 more question | 21:23 |
| kristjans | soundray, thanks again (: | 21:23 |
| gb_1 | can i install ubuntu from hard disk? | 21:23 |
| soundray | kristjans: note that what I gave you wasn't the full command | 21:23 |
| soundray | kristjans: but you've noticed that, I'm sure | 21:23 |
| PIPBoy | hey i just installed my printers drivers with gusty and anything i print comes out fragged, discolored and transparent | 21:23 |
| sioux | who use kernel rt? | 21:23 |
| PIPBoy | anyone know what this could be? | 21:23 |
| Odd-rationale | gb_1: you can install ubuntu from a flash drive. | 21:24 |
| kristjans | soundray: :/ actually i didn't | 21:24 |
| soundray | PIPBoy: a bad/wrong driver | 21:24 |
| proprietarysucks | usrl: the number of physical monitors attached to your system is __ | 21:24 |
| krammer | I need something like kwallet but for gnome | 21:24 |
| kristjans | soundray: so i have to modify the attributes for grub-install using manualL | 21:24 |
| usrl | proprietarysucks: one. | 21:24 |
| soundray | kristjans: give me a minute | 21:25 |
| gb_1 | ok ty | 21:25 |
| Odd-rationale | gb_1: You can also install ubuntu with just internet connection, if you have a working system (linux or windows) | 21:25 |
| PIPBoy | soundray: yeah man but its gusty and it listed it as the same printer that i have... its really odd | 21:25 |
| SilentSquall | hello | 21:25 |
| PIPBoy | soundray: ive even re-installed ubuntu (because i need this printer working) and it still didnt work | 21:25 |
| proprietarysucks | usrl: you are able to go back to gnome by using ctrl-alt-f7 when the other ttys don't work t/f ? | 21:25 |
| SilentSquall | i need some support on dnsmasq and ubuntu used as router | 21:25 |

| bastid_raZor | thansk proprietarysucks yurimxpxman | 21:26 |
| soundray | kristjans: note that this installs grub to the partition. That's fine if you have a boot loader that chainloads it. | 21:26 |
| riotkittie | where's GDM resolution set? >| | 21:27 |
| SilentSquall | does anyone here know something about dnsmasq? | 21:27 |
| krammer | if it isnt better than why upgrade | 21:27 |
| kristjans | soundray: uh. the problem is that the boot loader doesn't work | 21:27 |
| kristjans | soundray: it says 'no os found' | 21:27 |
| proprietarysucks | usrl: the output of the command uname -m | 21:27 |
| `cb | neato | 21:27 |
| usrl | i686 | 21:27 |
| soundray | kristjans: in that case, you probably want to replace the final /dev/hdc1 with /dev/hda | 21:27 |
| `cb | i like ubuntu :) | 21:27 |
| soundray | kristjans: that will put grub on the MBR of the first disk of the system. | 21:28 |
| burwaco | I have something weird going on, I'm on a laptop with 2 speakers and a "bassboost" underneath, the weird thing is that the 2 normal speakers are controlled by master and the "bass" by pcm, so when I want to mute sound I have to open volume control and mute the pcm manual otherwise the bass keeps playing at normal volume, is there a way I can link master and pcm together, so that they slide together ? | 21:28 |

| kristjans | soundray: he doesn't have a long enough cable to make his hdd primary instead of secondary | 21:29 |
| soundray | kristjans: okay, that's unusual, because he's connected it to the secondary IDE channel. Use /dev/hdc in place of /dev/hdc1 in that case. | 21:29 |

| mon | anyone here happen to know whether old machines (like a compaq proliant 2500) can handle a dvd-rom? | 21:34 |
| Odd-rationale | marky_mark: Are you using the LiveCD? | 21:34 |
| SudoKing | DaveBowman: Gutsy does not replace your programs, just updates and improves them | 21:35 |
| marky_mark | No. Have Ubuntu installed alongside Windows on the same drive. | 21:35 |
| soundray | mon: to most computers, all that matters is whether it is an ATAPI drive. Most DVD-ROMs are, so chances are it will work. | 21:35 |
| burwaco | marky_mark: hard drive or dvd rom ? | 21:35 |
| Odd-rationale | marky_mark: And do you see a "filesystem" in "computer? | 21:36 |
| mon | soundray: that's what i thought. but it's being recognized as a ide-floppy device which of-course, fails... couldn't be some ancient bios thing or something? | 21:36 |
| mcquaid | DaveBowman, if all your programs were installed via apt-get/synaptic and you didn't add a bunch of custom sources, no you'll have no issue | 21:36 |
| soundray | DaveBowman: it's fairly reliable, but backup your data anyway | 21:36 |
| marky_mark | Yes, can see filesystem. | 21:36 |
| usrl | proprietarysucks: You missed one thing though. You have to exit X server in order to run the drivers. | 21:36 |
| kevsthabest | pike_: i wont lose anything that i would have on the receiving drive would i? | 21:36 |
| mcquaid | if you added a bunch of custom sources and have a lot of non official debs, sometimes it's better to remove them first | 21:36 |
| Odd-rationale | marky_mark: That is your ubuntu partition drive. The other is you windows. Yes it is normal | 21:37 |

| marky_mark | Odd-rationale: thanks for that. The only reason I asked this question was that when I started my computer today, the system went through some sort of check, saying something like the system had mounted the volume 25 times without a check. After a short while, the desktop appeared as usual. Any idea why it did the check? | 21:40 |
| proprietarysucks | usrl: you are really not getting it | 21:40 |
| bastid_raZor | where might a guide to set ssh and scp up without needing a password between two boxes on the same network? | 21:40 |

| CCB0x45 | anyone gotten mythstreamtv to work on ubuntu?/ | 21:40 |
| proprietarysucks | usrl: press power then wait. then turn back on. then when grub comes up press a key to stop it from loading. then you press E | 21:40 |
| DaveBowman | SudoKing: ok, but I'm wondering if the update process look for its 'known' kernel (6.2.20) in order to update it. If it does this, updater won't find the Feisty kernel... don't know wether my question is clear | 21:40 |
| mon | bastid_raZor: google for ssh-keygen + scp, good luck i couldnt get it to work ;) | 21:40 |
| Odd-rationale | marky_mark: That is normal. It was checking you ubuntu prtition not you windows, however. | 21:40 |
| mon | soundray: 2x pentium pro 200mhz | 21:41 |
| proprietarysucks | usrl: are you writing this down? I'm trying to tell you how to fix your problem | 21:41 |
| mon | soundray: pretty old ;) bios says 1991 | 21:41 |

| Toptyg | sample /dev/xxx mount -/dev/xxx xxx- file 1G | 21:41 |
| mvanbaak | scroll down to 'ssh without password' | 21:41 |
| soundray | mon: might be a lost cause, sorry | 21:41 |
| proprietarysucks | usrl: after you press E you move your curser to the kernel line | 21:41 |
| mon | soundray: though i was under the impression any random pentium 100 system could work with a dvd-rom... guess im wrong | 21:41 |
| soundray | bastid_raZor: there is a good guide, let me find it... | 21:41 |
| mon | bastid_raZor: how's it not working then? | 21:42 |
| proprietarysucks | usrl: then press E again to edit that line. simply add a 1 at the end of the line such as fkgdkfjgdkfjg 1 | 21:42 |
| mvanbaak | oops | 21:42 |
| proprietarysucks | usrl: then press enter then B | 21:42 |
| bastid_raZor | mon i did a fresh install on the desktop. | 21:42 |

| Toptyg | in file as in virual machine | 21:43 |
| proprietarysucks | mvanbaak: what are you telling me to go to and why? | 21:43 |
| Toptyg | qemu for exemple .. | 21:43 |
| bastid_raZor | awesome.. was looking for how to set ls again too.. | 21:43 |
| Odd-rationale | marky_mark: Yes, that is all fine. Anyways, welcome to Ubuntu. Hope you enjoy the freedom! | 21:43 |
| soundray | bastid_raZor: essentially, you run 'ssh-keygen -t id_dsa' on one machine, then append the contents of ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to the other machine's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 21:43 |

| BubblegumTate | which only seems to work until I close the terminal | 21:52 |
| Darkdemun | orly? | 21:52 |
| proprietarysucks | ZEA: installing linux on nvidia raids is a matter of having a driver disk or built-in driver, not really an easier/harder thing | 21:52 |

| BubblegumTate | how can I set that permenantly | 21:52 |

| critt | gnomefreak: It seams to be the only topic I get a response to at the moment . But sure N/P | 21:52 |
| proprietarysucks | usrl: or is this another computer | 21:52 |
| ZEA | proprietarysucks: there was a wiki on getting ubuntu to work on fakeraid with a mostly hand made installation (using chroot) | 21:52 |
| usrl | proprietarysucks: I did. My network is odd, and I use pidgin, so it might not have shown up | 21:52 |

| sean_ | hi, anyone know where I might start t/shooting the sound on my laptop | 22:12 |
| sean_ | I'm lost without alsaconf | 22:13 |
| pyrohotdo2 | How do I add the non-free and contrib repos? | 22:13 |
| Pici | DaveBowman: I dont think its something that a version upgrade is going to help. I think its inherently wrong with the way that Adobe programmed flash. | 22:13 |
| crimsun_ | sean_: start with http://trilug.org/~crimsun/alsa-info.sh | 22:13 |
| Pici | pyrohotdo2: System>Administration>Software Sources | 22:13 |
| sean_ | pyrohotdo2, doesn't synaptic allow you to do that? | 22:13 |
| Pici | DaveBowman: I have the same issue here, you're not the only one. | 22:13 |
| pyrohotdo2 | Pici: Thank you. :) | 22:13 |
| DaveBowman | Pici: yes, maybe, but this doesn't happen in 'other' OS, even in other browsers in Linux | 22:14 |
| nufan | Pici: tried ctrl-alt-f1, all it did was make my screen a tiny bit less bright :) | 22:14 |
| brickbat | hi, i updated the nvidia driver through auto updates today and my system has been going crazy ever since | 22:14 |
| Pici | DaveBowman: Well, I'm sure that theres a bug logged about it, Its been reported here many times. | 22:14 |
| Pici | nufan: did you say that you could ssh in before? | 22:15 |
| * N3bunel away | 22:15 | |
| brickbat | any way to go back to the old one? | 22:15 |
| TlM | Pici: Do you know about the period size 48 error .. with slmodem? Any ideas on how to fix that? | 22:15 |
| DaveBowman | Pici: ok, thanks. So we need to wait for a solution to this issue | 22:15 |
| Pici | TlM: I dont know anything about modems, sorry. | 22:15 |
| nufan | I can ssh into the computer, but I would like to start the window manager on that computer | 22:15 |
| Pici | DaveBowman: Yeah. I'll take a look at the bug later and see if theres any progress on it. | 22:15 |
| andreas | srever | 22:15 |
| TlM | Pici: thanks | 22:15 |
| andreas | #join server | 22:15 |
| Pici | nufan: okay, hold on a second, I need to look something up. | 22:16 |
| cyphase | anyone have any idea why XRandR wouldn't be working after using displayconfig-gtk to configure a dual monitor setup? I get a dialog with this text when I try to run System->Preferences->Screen Resolution: The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available. | 22:16 |
| pyrohotdo2 | sean_: Yes...but I'm not sure how... | 22:16 |
| nufan | Pici: everytime I try and do that it says that X is already being used | 22:16 |
| Some_Person | 7.10 installer SUCKS! IT BROKE MY DISK! | 22:16 |
| DaveBowman | Pici: fortunately, there's a great feature in firefox that restores all the previous windows :) | 22:16 |
| pyrohotdo2 | Pici: I'm using linuxMint, and don't see Software Sources. | 22:16 |
| sean_ | crimsun_, cool, thanks | 22:16 |
| cyphase | pyrohotdo2: go into Synaptic, and the repository option | 22:16 |
| Pici | pyrohotdo2: Then you should be asking in the Linux Mint channel, this is Ubuntu support. | 22:16 |
| pyrohotdo2 | Pici: LinuxMint is basically a shiny ubuntu, my sources.list contains ubuntu repos. | 22:17 |
| brickbat | so does anyone know if there is a way to revert to the nvidia driver i was using before the update? | 22:17 |

| indian | what is the difference between the cd and dvd version of ubuntu | 22:38 |

| bobbyz | However, -instantaneously- after the display goes black, it turns bright white and starts "melting" to black from the outside-in. From this point the only way for me to toally power off the system is by holding down the power button. Does this sound familiar to anyone? | 22:52 |
| mcquaid | i've heard it's ailgx is slow and some issues with movies playing using xv. anyone have any experience with this onboard ati? | 22:53 |

| burg | i`m newbie, first time i use ubuntu, second time i use linux (used suse for 3 days before) | 23:13 |
| NSM | burg: prob. going to be GStreamer extra plugins. | 23:13 |

| Pici | Joe_CoT: or the other links too, they have useful information. | 23:28 |
| masmota | tyoc: none are muted? | 23:28 |
| betamale | hairulfr: close it down properly? | 23:28 |
| Viper550 | excuse me, are there any GTK engines that are very popular right now? | 23:28 |
| tyoc | masmota: all 3 are at high position | 23:28 |
| tyoc | and without the cross | 23:28 |
| Pici | pwnt-: yes. | 23:28 |
| tyoc | masmota: yea, none muted | 23:28 |

| Kolb | Hi, when I suspend my laptop and then resume it at a different location, Network Manager cannot find the new local network, all wireless connectivity is broken, and the NM applet takes up ~100% CPU. Does anyone know what might be the cause of this? | 23:29 |
| raintheory | burg .. here you go... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43058/ paste that in place of yours and then save file and $: sudo apt-get update | 23:29 |

| pwnt- | Pici: now, how do i run that in vlc | 23:29 |
| masmota | tyoc: should be working then...theres not a mute button on the mic, right? thats the only thing i can think of | 23:29 |
| raintheory | burg, then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 23:30 |
| HaMF | I'd like to create a little script that listens for a dbus-message and calls a function then. Is this possible with just a shell script or do i need phyton (e.g.) for it? | 23:30 |
| tyoc | masmota: yea, in the list of recording are like 5 options | 23:30 |
| burg | You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. | 23:30 |

| Pici | pwnt-: sure thing. | 23:30 |
| Nap_95 | Heil | 23:30 |
| raintheory | burg, what happened is for some reason during install ubuntu could not verify it's repos so it automatically diabled them by commenting them out (probably no internet connection during initial install) | 23:31 |
| tyoc | masmota: or you know of a link htat I can give a try? | 23:31 |
| Trolllo99 | @yasuo: ok, got it | 23:31 |
| pwnt- | Pici: thats chinese channel? lol | 23:31 |
| betamale | hairulfr: thanks, I'll try some disk diagnostics. this started with uswsusp/hibernate though, on a system that worked before... | 23:31 |

| HaMF | to be more concrete: i'd like to "extend" the mail-notification of evolution. the target is just to write an string to a file as soon as a new mail arrives | 23:31 |
| Pici | pwnt-: Yes, your computer will be downloading from that website constantly. | 23:31 |
| Trolllo99 | @yasuo: done | 23:32 |
| masmota | tyoc: sure dont... and im on my laptop now w/ no mic available to try it.. | 23:32 |
| pwnt- | Pici: how to minimum that lag? Can i change the numbers or something in the command? | 23:32 |
| Pici | pwnt-: I really dont know, you could look into the program trickle, its in the repos, but that might not work properly. | 23:33 |
| yasuo | Trolllo99: now mount it using truecrypt | 23:33 |
| tyoc | masmota: I have added other controls to the list... | 23:33 |
| yasuo | Trolllo99: truecrypt /dev/disk/by-id/yourusbdribve-part1 /mnt | 23:34 |
| tyoc | now when recording I only listen mess, not my voice | 23:34 |
| pwnt- | Pici: what program? | 23:34 |
| Pici | pwnt-: trickle | 23:34 |
| tyoc | masmota: at less that is a step toward listen my voice :) | 23:34 |
| pwnt- | Pici: is it same as sp-auth? | 23:34 |
| hairulfr | cooper: It's quite easy, but I recommend you partitioning from windows if you are unsure what to do. But if you just chose the partition you need, split it in to, one for home and one for /, you should be good :) | 23:34 |
| yasuo | Trolllo99: maybe you need to install ntfs-3g to get write-support and maybe you will have to gie the filesystem type as parameter | 23:34 |
| Pici | pwnt-: no, its a program to control bandwidth usage of other programs, | 23:34 |
| xeer | hi everyone. vncviewer isn't positioning my mouse correctly. i'd expect the black square that represents the system cursor to be at the same region the remote computer has the cursor. | 23:34 |

| ||drake|| | alright, I'm on a live session now because I can no longer boot into ubuntu at all | 23:35 |
| yasuo | Trolllo99: truecrypt /dev/disk/by-id/yourusbdribve-part1 /mnt --filesystem ntfs | 23:35 |
| ||drake|| | who's willing to help me out? | 23:35 |
| yasuo | Trolllo99: when it works install ntfs-3g and replace "ntfs" with ntfs-3g | 23:35 |
| ||drake|| | sorry... questions still stands | 23:35 |
| betamale | ||drake||: at least you can get to a live session:( | 23:36 |

| ||drake|| | after a while, i can ctrl-alt-F1 into a login session/terminal/etc, but I can't startx or anything | 23:37 |

| Trolllo99 | @yasuo | 23:37 |
| burg | it`s working, i guess | 23:37 |
| euxneks | ||drake||: might be a misconfiguration in the xorg.conf | 23:37 |
| Buhmanator | framebuffer mode? does anyone know how to enable it in sax2? | 23:37 |
| yasuo | Trolllo99: erm can you post what you entered? the treucrypt-command... | 23:37 |
| raintheory | burg, you guess? | 23:37 |
| Pici | Buhmanator: Whats sax2? | 23:37 |
| ||drake|| | i already sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 23:37 |
| hairulfr | ||drake||:Then ubuntu starts, what did you do to break x? | 23:37 |
| euxneks | hairulfr: hah | 23:38 |
| tinman47 | Help on a Bash script. Please? | 23:38 |
| raintheory | burg, is it still doing an install? | 23:38 |
| betamale | hairulfr: do you have any suggestions on alternative "live" cds that I could try? | 23:38 |
| ||drake|| | and i literally changed nothing... i'm 99% sure it's not an issue with X | 23:38 |
| euxneks | hrm | 23:38 |
| yasuo | tinman47: just ask your question, ask it exact and consider visiting #bash and reading google and the manpage | 23:38 |
| euxneks | it _really_ sounds like some sort of display problem ||drake|| | 23:38 |

| Buhmanator | Pici: and I'm not talking about the small api for xml if you google it, thats completly different | 23:39 |
| Kolb | Is anyone experiencing trouble with Network Manager after bringing their computer out of suspend-mode? | 23:39 |

| Buhmanator | Pici: no, suse | 23:39 |
| * euxneks tries to remember where the xorg error log is | 23:39 | |
| betamale | hairulfr: anything that could get me to do some diagnostics, inspect fstab, etc. | 23:39 |
| Pici | Buhmanator: This is the Ubuntu Support channel, perhaps try #suse | 23:40 |
| raintheory | Buhmanator, no "Sue-SAY" :oP | 23:40 |
| yasuo | Trolllo99: you have to find the file pointing to your isb-hdd first | 23:40 |
| Buhmanator | i have that channel open | 23:40 |
| Pici | Buhmanator: Okay, then why are you asking here? | 23:40 |
| ||drake|| | euxneks: http://pastebin.com/m6d203005 | 23:40 |
| tinman47 | Well...Okay. I am prototyping a scripting language, and I made a few commands and functions, and well, I cannot use the "if" command in functions, and it will not take parameters, why? | 23:40 |
| Buhmanator | Because I figured people here might use sax2? possibly? | 23:40 |
| Pici | Buhmanator: No, we don't, its not even an available package in our software repositories. | 23:40 |
| ||drake|| | euxneks: the xorg error log is at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. | 23:41 |
| hairulfr | betamale: gparted livecd is quite good, i've used that, | 23:41 |
| Trolllo99 | @ok my fault, i got the wrong one, but th same problem with the correct one | 23:41 |
| ||drake|| | euxneks: it reports no errors, which is one of the many many reason's im pretty sure it's not an xorg.conf problem | 23:41 |
| yasuo | tinman47: rtfm maybe you did not use the if-loop and forgot to end another if-loop woth fi | 23:41 |
| Buhmanator | so how about enabling it directly with xorg | 23:41 |
| Buhmanator | (don't tell me you guys don't use xorg) | 23:41 |

| euxneks | ||drake||: looks like there is a formatting problem on your blacklist file | 23:42 |
| Pici | Buhmanator: I can't help you because I dont know anything about the way that suse does things. and yes, we use Xorg. | 23:42 |

| mcquaid | ok basic retarted question. when dealing with amd64, you don't actually have to install the x64 version right? amd64 is backwards compatible with x86 correct? | 23:42 |
| euxneks | mcquaid: true | 23:42 |
| riotkittie | mcquaid: true | 23:42 |
| yasuo | ACK | 23:43 |
| Buhmanator | Pici: its not like its completly different, you should still configure xorg the same way (when configuring the config file) | 23:43 |

| yasuo | Trolllo99: wekll you have to enter the full path if the file | 23:43 |
| euxneks | ||drake||: or, better yet, commenting it out | 23:43 |

| mcquaid | anyone have an ati x1250? I'm going to install ubuntu for a friend tomorrow and just trying to investigate possible gotchas. Should I use envy to get latest driver? I read some posts on xv not working for video... | 23:44 |
| _Jojo_ | Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD does not start here... CD is OK, starts on other puters, the loader even plays the start sound (so this should be it should be almost finished, right?), but the screen stays black - any possible help? | 23:44 |
| euxneks | ||drake||: that's probably what I would try anyway, other than that you'd have to ask someone else with more knowledge about the system =P | 23:44 |
| Pici | Buhmanator: It is, there are different modules, different kernels, lots of different things that are not the same. Sure, they're both linux, but should I go into #suse and start asking about my Ubuntu problems? Try ##linux if you're looking for a more general channel. | 23:44 |
| yasuo | mcquaid: after 6 months i solved ANY ati-problems by buying an nvidia-card ^^ | 23:45 |
| riotkittie | mcquaid: never ever ever ever ever ever envy. use the restricted drivers thingie. | 23:45 |
| euxneks | although | 23:45 |
| euxneks | ||drake||: that's only a warning so it shouldn't be a problem | 23:45 |
| mcquaid | yasuo my advice as well | 23:45 |
| raintheory | i have a question now... with compiz enabled, are your applications taskbar entries *supposed* to show on *every* seperate desktop? | 23:45 |
| yasuo | i rly rly rly tried 10 howtos in ubuntuforums but did not get 3d to run | 23:45 |
| mcquaid | riotkittie, ya normally i wouldn't use envy. never have personally. but I read about the latest ati drivers having aiglx support and then I saw a guide on installing them. yesh all the hoops you have to jump through | 23:46 |
| ||drake|| | euxneks: coincindentally... it's no longer on my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist i wonder where it went? clearly it must still be there | 23:46 |
| sdadds272 | I just got a recent problem with my 7.10 ubuntu.. I just plugged out my TP cable, and when I plugged it back in I pretty much couldn't get on the net, neither can I ping anyone but myself. Any ideas how to fix this? I've done some common trouble shooting but it havent come up with any interesting info worth to note. | 23:46 |
| raintheory | in other words, i open terminal in desk 1, but the taskbar entry shows on every other desk as well | 23:46 |
| riotkittie | raintheory: im nto sure what the default behavior is but if you have issues with that you can change it easily | 23:46 |
