| Incognito | I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 7.10 using the alternate DVD. I'm having errors with some hardware drivers. It's dumping a bunch of crap to my screen. | 00:01 |
| demon_spork | {alejandro}, go to Places>Computer and in the left hand side it should say "80GB volume" or whatever size your other disk is. Double click on it | 00:01 |
| Incognito | Can anyone help me? | 00:01 |
| partialinfinity | blue42, my receiver has an LED on it that will light up when it is properly initialized. It's not lit right now | 00:01 |
| partialinfinity | blue42, I had it working ONCE like I said but it stopped after a reboot | 00:01 |
| Shapeshifter | Eh, does anyone know why the gutsy live cd is so damn stupid? It shows my /dev/sdd as /dev/sdc and then installs grub with (hd0,2) instead of (hd0,4), so I have to boot the cd again and fix grub. Besides of that X doesn't start unless I use 800x600x16 and I found that by trial and error because X keeps restarting for all eternety in all other cases. This version really beats it -.- | 00:02 |

| blue42 | partialinfinity: but will it send a signal? the light may not be reliable on serial receivers | 00:05 |
| partialinfinity | blue42, I tried 'irw' and it "hangs" like it's supposed to but it's not taking a signal | 00:05 |

| demon_spork | namalternativu, because if so, the install process does not start until you click the icon, so you can use gparted to edit the partitions all you want | 00:07 |

| KevinO0oO | how do I install e new font? | 00:29 |
| paulistall | scorp123: when i first installed ubuntu | 00:30 |
| paulistall | scorp123: worked immediately | 00:30 |
| eXeCuTeR | do I have to download the screen lets manager directory? cause it says that there's no such file or directory | 00:30 |
| paulistall | scorp123: I don't know what I could have done to mess it up | 00:30 |
| jsschmid | scorp123: works fine, boots up, starts the installer but when it need s the installation files i am not able to mount the usb stick content | 00:30 |
| scorp123 | paulistall: did you check the display of the printer (if it has one)? Maybe the toner is empty or there is a paper jam or something like that? | 00:30 |
| paulistall | scorp123: it is fine | 00:31 |
| jsschmid | scorp123: thats the problem ... i already posted to a forum....didnt help | 00:31 |
| eXeCuTeR | wolfspiril: do I have to download the screen lets manager directory? cause it says that there's no such file or directory | 00:31 |
| dudewithtwoheads | why i can't boot CD with ubuntu .iso file ? it simply wont start.. | 00:31 |
| scorp123 | jsschmid: there are instructions on the ubuntu forum on how to do this with USB sticks .... Why not a CD ... sorry if this is a silly question.? | 00:31 |
| wolfspiri1 | eXeCuTeR: did you even download screenlets manager yet? I think you need that for screenlets to work | 00:31 |
| paulistall | scorp123: printer icon shows up for a second and then switches to a dark grey | 00:31 |

| jsschmid | scorp123: the instructions do not work for me, tried had different approches but no success. why not a cd:because there is no drive on my laptop | 00:32 |
| scorp123 | jsschmid: oh :-) | 00:32 |

| Shapeshifter | brandon__: wait, there's something wrong, let me fix that | 00:34 |
| eXeCuTeR | i need a download for it | 00:34 |
| Shapeshifter | brandon__: http://www.pastebin.org/7284 | 00:35 |
| blue42 | partialinfinity: cool, sorry I wasn't of anymore help, the suse config is too different | 00:35 |
| TB | I partitioned my HD with 40 gigs of EXT3 and left the rest unpartitioned thinking that I was going to use XP as my primary OS, but since I realized how much ubuntu rocks, I want to have my EXT3 partition fill most of my hard drive and leave 40 gigs for windows....is it possible to resize or should I reinstall unbuntu? | 00:35 |
| Varka | dudewithtwoheads: did you burn the iso as an image on cd or did you burn the .iso file on a data-cd? | 00:35 |
| partialinfinity | blue42: no no -- really, thanks for your help. I'm beating my head against the wall trying to fix this... I almost paid the $250 to get Ubuntu support! | 00:35 |
| paulistall | scorp123: actually everything is showing up as a completed job | 00:36 |
| paulistall | scorp123: but it doesn't print | 00:36 |
| jsschmid | scorp123: I just need to mount the USB stick content to /cdrom but it doesnt work... any Idea why? device is /dev/disk/by-label/[usbstickname] | 00:36 |
| eXeCuTeR | wolfspiril: dude please help me | 00:36 |
| dudewithtwoheads | Varka: i burned it on a data cd | 00:36 |
| paulistall | scorp123: I think I'm getting closer to the issue here | 00:36 |
| wolfspiri1 | eXeCuTeR: I'm not in this room all the time.. I'm in other chats too ;) go to their website and download it.. I think that may be what I did | 00:36 |
| Varka | dudewithtwoheads: ok, thats the mistake, you have to burn it as an image :) | 00:36 |
| brandon__ | shapeshifter: I went to my menu .lst for my mandriva grub and it said it was on 6 not 5 | 00:37 |
| eXeCuTeR | wolfspiril: ow sorry, what's the website name? | 00:37 |
| lacuce | Is it possible to have a desktop shortcut to run an app on a virtual XP (under Virtualbox)? | 00:37 |
| brandon__ | But im trying it lets hope she workssss:) | 00:37 |
| dudewithtwoheads | Varka: :) hah.. thanks, i need to make image cd with nero ? | 00:37 |
| blue42 | partialinfinity: even after paying that they might not be able to suggest anything better than buying better supported hardware :) | 00:37 |
| jsschmid | dudewithtwoheads: if you can see the .iso file on when accessing the content of the CD, you did something wrong | 00:37 |
| aixguru1 | Does anyone know how to fix the grub-install errors with stage1 files while trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 from CD? | 00:37 |
| partialinfinity | blue42: haha that would be just my luck | 00:37 |
| partialinfinity | blue42: I might end up having to buy a USB part. Suck! | 00:38 |
| jsschmid | dudewithtwoheads: for nero choose something like file -> burn image file | 00:38 |
| partialinfinity | blue42: what receiver do you have? | 00:38 |
| Varka | dudewithtwoheads: just use nero and select "burn image to cd" or something like that in the menu (sry. havent used nero for a long time and dont know the english menus) | 00:38 |
| jsschmid | dudewithtwoheads: dont use the wizard to burn the iso | 00:38 |
| Shapeshifter | brandon__: there are two different numbers. (hd0,5) for grub means "sda6" | 00:39 |
| blue42 | partialinfinity: I have one of these: http://iguanaworks.net/products.psp | 00:39 |
| eXeCuTeR | wolfspiril: i installed it | 00:39 |
| eXeCuTeR | yay | 00:39 |
| brandon__ | shapeshifter: check this http://www.pastebin.org/7285 | 00:39 |
| eXeCuTeR | now i can see the screenlets manager...what now? | 00:39 |
| Shapeshifter | brandon__: Or (hd3,6) would mean sdd7 | 00:39 |
| dudewithtwoheads | jsschmid: you mean i manualy make image cd from nero ? | 00:39 |
| partialinfinity | blue42, ok cool I'll check it out. Thanks. | 00:39 |
| aixguru1 | the ubuntu installer doesn't seem to be creating a grub.conf on my laptop. Anyone know how to fix grub during an installtion? | 00:39 |
| partialinfinity | blue42: Hopefully this MythTV guide you pointed me to will do the trick | 00:40 |
| blue42 | partialinfinity: good luck bro, you're going to need it | 00:40 |
| Varka | dudewithtwoheads: http://www.wizardskeep.org/mainhall/tutor/neroiso.html | 00:40 |
| partialinfinity | blue42: haha! thanks. My wife has been waiting for me to finish this MythTV install so she can watch all the new Scrubs episodes... gahhh pressure! | 00:40 |
| Shapeshifter | brandon__: well that's pritty much possible. If it doesn't work you can try other values, but it looks ok. Just try, we can change other things afterwards if it didn't | 00:40 |
| Rhino_Ak | which file do I modify for video settings in Unbuntu | 00:41 |
| brandon__ | alright here i go,,,, | 00:41 |
| dudewithtwoheads | Varka: tnx, it couldnt be more simple :) | 00:41 |
| wolfspiri1 | eXeCuTeR: you download the screenlets from their website too and add them by clicking on the add button and pointing to the tarballs | 00:41 |
| Rhino_Ak | like screen resoloution | 00:41 |
| eXeCuTeR | ok but wait | 00:41 |
| aixguru1 | Has anyone fixed this error with GRUB installs yet? "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly" | 00:41 |
| Rhino_Ak | and refresh | 00:41 |
| eXeCuTeR | why can't i add the clock? | 00:41 |
| jsschmid | dudewithtwoheads: no! first you download the iso file from ubuntu.com (official homepage). than you save it to disc to a know destination (when using windows use the desktop). after that open nero and choose from the menu FILE -> burn CD from Image. choose the .iso file that you downloaded from ubuntu,com an burn it | 00:41 |
| Rhino_Ak | any one anyone | 00:42 |
| eXeCuTeR | why can't i add the clock? i click on launch/add and it doesn't add it | 00:42 |
| wolfspiri1 | eXeCuTeR: not sure.. are you double clicking on it? | 00:42 |
| eXeCuTeR | oh thakns :D | 00:42 |
| eXeCuTeR | thanks | 00:42 |
| wind | ok why does it keep saying i can't cancel a print job, even after i rebooted the comp | 00:42 |
| brandon__ | shapeshifter: It says permission deniied when i try to save it after editing it with k word, Is there a way to overcome this? | 00:42 |
| eXeCuTeR | got a good screenlet for me? | 00:42 |
| sethk | Rhino_Ak, the file is /etc/X/xorg.conf, but it is a bad idea to modify it directly. You need to use one of the configuration utilities | 00:42 |
| |neon| | i sthere a fix for oo and gutsy yet , everytime i opened oo it is unusable i know there is a bug with gutsy just want to know if there is a solution yet, thanks | 00:42 |
| dudewithtwoheads | jsschmid ok, i will try it now ;) | 00:43 |

| sethk | Rhino_Ak, the one I use, which is the "old" one, is dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (as root, i.e., sudo dpkg-reconfigure ...) | 00:43 |

| sethk | Rhino_Ak, for which I'm sure someone else will provide the name | 00:44 |

| LordKow | |neon|, first of all let me make sure you are having the problem that I think you are having. Is this problem being you start openoffice and it crashes? | 00:48 |

| cookie666 | Does anyone know why I would get a "grub read error" after installing Ubuntu on a hard drive and then installing a raid5 on the same computer? | 00:50 |
| |neon| | LordKow: and the only way i can get out is ctrl+alt+backspace | 00:50 |
| LordKow | |neon|, yea sounds like the known bug that has to do with certain window decorations/themes. There should be an updated open office package that will make it into the gutsy repositories soon (which will show up to you as an update in update-manager) | 00:50 |
| |neon| | LordKow: thx | 00:50 |
| jsschmid | how can I mount a usb stick (USB HDD) when booting the kernel from it (device is located in /dev/disk/by-label/[usbstickname])??? | 00:50 |
| LordKow | |neon|, have you enabled Security and Recommended Updates under Software Sources in System->Administration? | 00:50 |
| LordKow | |neon|, it will be under the "Updates" tab in Software Sources | 00:51 |
| wolfspiri1 | eXeCuTeR: right click on it and say delete | 00:51 |

| jpastore | grimreaper85, I switched to tabbed view for channels instead of tree view...next time I fired up xchat I don't have a channel list | 00:54 |
| LordKow | |neon|, okay according to the bug report the new version of openoffice *should* be entering the official gutsy repositories sometime soon | 00:54 |

| cookie666 | [INFO]Connecting to irc://freenode/ (irc://irc.freenode. | 00:55 |
| lishious16 | Shapeshifter: IM ON UBUNTO WOOT WOOOT!:) | 00:55 |
| Shapeshifter | lishious16: nice ;) | 00:56 |
| Shapeshifter | Jeffrey: thx | 00:56 |
| LordKow | |neon|, an alternative fix for the time being is to uninstall the openoffice.org-gtk package and reinstall it once the new openoffice package comes out. However, this will make your openoffice look butt ugly (but it should work) | 00:56 |
| Jeffrey | Shapeshifter, for what lol ? | 00:56 |
| lishious16 | it all worked thanks alot i had no clue what this whole grub thiung was but now i know alot about it and how to work it THANKS ALOT!:) | 00:57 |
| |neon| | cookie666: what you need to know i set up raid o for my raptors but the same process to set up raid 5 | 00:57 |
| |neon| | cookie666: well kind off anyway | 00:57 |
| zero | ok | 00:58 |
| zero | tengo un problema con xubuntu | 00:58 |
| sethk | zero, there is #ubuntu-es | 00:58 |
| zero | ups....sorry | 00:58 |
| cookie666 | neon: I tried installing my raid5 on my windows XP desktop, but that gave me problems, so I figured Ubuntu would be way easier because it supports most things | 00:58 |
| b3nd3r | jpastore, at the right of the window there are two cursors | 00:58 |
| b3nd3r | ( b3nd3r ) together | 00:58 |
| b3nd3r | ( b3nd3r ) there are three little points . Do you see them? | 00:58 |
| b3nd3r | ( b3nd3r ) mantain the mouse pushed and resize the window | 00:58 |
| sethk | zero, if you don't get what you need there, PM me | 00:59 |
| cookie666 | neon: so after I installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my desktop, when I rebooted it gave me a "grub read error" message | 00:59 |
| Shapeshifter | Jeffrey: ^^ thought you gave -me- that help link about ubotu | 00:59 |
| Jeffrey | Shapeshifter, doh! | 00:59 |
| derek | are you using a hardware RAID controller? | 00:59 |
| derek | or just using software? | 00:59 |
| cookie666 | neon: so I tried building the RAID using mdadm while working off the liveCD | 00:59 |
| debaserdz | hello, i am compilling a fortran base program | 01:00 |
| |neon| | Shapeshifter: what raid controller are u using is it an onboard one? | 01:00 |
| Nellino1 | ciao | 01:00 |
| sethk | cookie666, I've found that it saves a huge amount of aggrevation to put your boot files on a small non-RAID partition. | 01:00 |
| debaserdz | somebody can i help me? | 01:00 |
| songoty | #mopar | 01:00 |
| cookie666 | well my motherboard has onboard raid control... I've read that Linux doesnt usually like those so I have it disabled, should I have it enabled? | 01:00 |
| cookie666 | sethk: what if I have a seperate hard drive that I want to boot from other than the RAID? | 01:01 |
| ubuntito | hi | 01:01 |
| IcedFun | is there some sort of special build that could be used with a MacBook? | 01:01 |
| |neon| | also you need a small /boot partition i use my raid array did not use a non-raid partition to create the boot part once i did that it worked ok | 01:01 |
| ubuntito | ubuntu havent xinetd ? | 01:01 |
| threethirty | does anyone know of a podcatcher that will allow me to set up a path for the downloads to go to? | 01:01 |
| sethk | cookie666, that's even better | 01:01 |
| |neon| | before creating the /boot partition it will not work no matter what | 01:02 |
| blue42 | threethirty: Maybe Miro does the job, but I can't be sure | 01:03 |
| cookie666 | neon: so I need to have a /boot partition somewhere in the RAID regardless of whether I want to boot off of it or not? | 01:03 |
| UndertakerX2 | Could some one help advise me in partioning my drive so i can install ubuntu | 01:03 |
| sFEARs | hello | 01:03 |
| threethirty | blue42: ive always hated miro, too crashy, but ty anyway | 01:04 |
| Shapeshifter | |neon| Yes it is, it displays all drives (IDEs, too) as Sata connections. but I fixed it already. It's still weird, now I get an initramfs thing again, but whatever, I'll fix it again ;) weird stuff. I think there are a few open bugs about this behaviour | 01:04 |
| sethk | cookie666, no, that's absolutely not true. | 01:04 |
| sethk | cookie666, you can certainly boot from a non-RAID drive and mount a RAID file system. | 01:04 |
| Kaso | Is it possible for me to "mount" a folder which is on a server i'm SSHed to | 01:04 |
| Shapeshifter | |neon|: no I don't need a boot partition. I think renaming all the partitions in /etc/fstab from the UUIDs to the sdabcd things will work. | 01:05 |
| |neon| | cookie666: in m y case i have a "fakeraid" controller so i created linux raid partitions then created the md array i have windows loaded on a non-raid partition bu ti did not used that i am just stating what worked for me as "fakeraid" can be hard to set up | 01:05 |
| sethk | Kaso, You can mount a folder regardless of whether you are SSH'd into the machine. I suspect that you really want to ask a different question, but I'm not sure what the question is. | 01:05 |
| sFEARs | what's the easiest way to install drivers for a wireless linksys card without being hard wired to the net? | 01:06 |
| sethk | cookie666, |neon|, I'm assuming that he has a conventional IDE or SATA drive in addition to the drives he is using for RAID. In that case he can boot off a partition on the other drive without issues. | 01:06 |
| sethk | cookie666, |neon|, Any RAID controller should support both RAID and ordinary partitions. | 01:07 |
| Kaso | perhaps i do need to ask the question better, but basically i have my iPod Touch which i can only access through SSH / SFTP over wifi, is there any way for me to use that device's hard drive as if it was local mountpoint or something. | 01:07 |
| |neon| | i used 3 raptors drive to create a md a 4th hd drive which had windows was not used all been sata | 01:07 |
| Shapeshifter | What was the folder again where all the usual commands are in? like sudo, gedit, all that stuff | 01:07 |

| |neon| | sethk: onboard raid controller are for the most part fakeraid | 01:07 |
| UndertakerX2 | Can some one help me with this problem http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/3593/screenshot1nh9.png | 01:07 |
| eolo999 | Hi, is there a way to have restricted driver manager work even on a custom kernel? | 01:07 |
| sethk | |neon|, indeed, not RAID at all, but that doesn't negate what I said. | 01:07 |
| Shapeshifter | |neon| yeah, mine is too. I never had problems with it btw in feisty. | 01:08 |
| |neon| | sethk: true, but ubuntu will not recognized an array setup by the bios on an onboard controller in most cases | 01:08 |
| eolo999 | my laptop it's really faster with a non generic kernel! But i really feel comfortable with my wireless restricted driver... | 01:08 |
| cookie666 | sethk: unfortunately, even though I have Ubuntu installed on my 160GB IDE drive, and then I have 4 500GB SATA drives set up as RAID5, built as md0. For some reason whenever I boot, it gives me "grub read error" but no further details | 01:08 |
| UndertakerX2 | Can some one PLEASE HELP?! | 01:09 |
| blue42 | threethirty: how hardcore are you, 'cuz this seems like what you're looking for, only it's nigh incomprehensible to me: http://podget.sourceforge.net/ | 01:09 |
| jolmash | hello, I followed the Ubuntu 7.04 perfect setup guide, but i need to install a web client, could you help me? | 01:10 |
| cookie666 | should I disconnec my SATA drives, reinstall Ubuntu, and then reconnect them and try builing my array again? Or is there a way I can fix the grub.confi file on that drive by using the liveCD? | 01:10 |

| sFEARs | Undertaker mabey reformat using a different type | 01:11 |
| blue42 | threethirty: np | 01:11 |
| sFEARs | ext3 mabey? | 01:11 |
| UndertakerX2 | I tried ext2 by a suggestion else where | 01:11 |
| UndertakerX2 | but i guess ill try ext3 | 01:11 |
| sFEARs | actually | 01:11 |
| sFEARs | if your installing windows you need fat32 or ntfs | 01:12 |
| UndertakerX2 | im not installing win | 01:12 |
| UndertakerX2 | im instaling ubuntu | 01:12 |
| UndertakerX2 | odd eh? | 01:12 |
| sFEARs | have you tried to ignore it and see what happens? | 01:13 |
| === tideline_ is now known as tideline | ||
| sFEARs | doesn't look like it will work if you ignore it | 01:13 |
| UndertakerX2 | nope, didnt want to take the risks | 01:13 |
| sFEARs | what do you do to get that error | 01:14 |
| zero | need help uninstalling xubuntu desktop from gusty | 01:14 |
| rahmat | hi. I'm a super oob. Why is it that when ever I try to install a tarbell in konsole using ./configure, it always gives me the error:C compiler cannot create executables | 01:14 |
| UndertakerX2 | ok let me start from the begining sfears | 01:14 |
| rahmat | ? | 01:14 |
| UndertakerX2 | partioned off 15GB of C: | 01:14 |
| sFEARs | you don't have the compiler downloaded rahmat? | 01:14 |
| zero | ? | 01:14 |
| cookie666 | neon, sethk: what do you think of my suggested plan? worth the effort? | 01:15 |
| blue42 | UndertakerX2: I think you can totally avoid this problem by creating another primary partition | 01:15 |
| UndertakerX2 | partion 512 MB of swap on 15GB partiion | 01:15 |
| rahmat | what is the compiler? | 01:15 |
| Paddy_EIRE | rahmat, do you have build-essential | 01:15 |
| sFEARs | i forget the package name | 01:15 |
| sFEARs | that's it | 01:15 |
| rahmat | probably not, I've never heard of it | 01:15 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !build-essential | rahmat | 01:15 |
| ubotu | rahmat: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!) | 01:15 |
| jrib | rahmat: you need the build-essential package. But a better question is why you are compiling at all? | 01:15 |
| sFEARs | haha | 01:15 |
| Paddy_EIRE | rahmat, yeah rahmat what are you compiling | 01:16 |
| zero | need help uninstalling xubuntu desktop from gusty | 01:16 |
| rahmat | I'm just trying to figure out what I'm doing. i'm trying to install suerkaramba, but I wan tto do it the hard way just to learn | 01:16 |
| spriizha | sorry for stupid q, but what is the shourtcut to change the desktops in ubuntu? | 01:16 |
| UndertakerX2 | i the npartioned the rest of the partion to ext2 | 01:16 |
| jrib | zero: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop | 01:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | zero, sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop | 01:16 |
| UndertakerX2 | then tried to run the ubuntu installer | 01:16 |
| zero | thxs | 01:16 |
| jrib | spriizha: ctrl-alt-<arrow key> | 01:16 |
| sFEARs | are you using the livecd? | 01:17 |
| UndertakerX2 | yes | 01:17 |
| spriizha | jrib, thx :) | 01:17 |
| sFEARs | ok | 01:17 |
| UndertakerX2 | i have the alternate disc if needed | 01:17 |
| jrib | rahmat: reading through ubotu's link is the best way then | 01:17 |
| billenium | Hello, i was wondering how i could get the XviD codec? | 01:17 |
| jrib | !restricted > billenium (read the private message from ubotu) | 01:17 |
| sFEARs | i'd assume you'd proally get the same error | 01:18 |
| rahmat | cool, thanks jrib | 01:18 |
| dudewithtwoheads | i knew i will have a problem, i booted ubuntu but when i tryed to intall it i got a bunch of errors, cant load files and stuff.. ?! | 01:18 |
| sFEARs | procede | 01:18 |
| rahmat | everywhere I look, there aren't any thorough explanation on what I need to accomplish certain taks or why I'm typing what it is I'm typing into the terminal. It's getting pretty frustrating | 01:19 |
| sFEARs | so you get that error when you try to format the rest of the 15gigs minus the 512 for swap? | 01:19 |
| UndertakerX2 | I tried to set the clsuter size manualy in partion magic but that did not mater | 01:19 |
| rahmat | Or maybe I'm just that retarded | 01:19 |
| rahmat | hah | 01:19 |
| sFEARs | the cluster size is specific to your hard drive | 01:19 |
| sFEARs | unless your working with some strage hardware (non us etc..) you shouldn't need to do that | 01:20 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | any ppc help here? | 01:20 |
| UndertakerX2 | ok | 01:20 |
| noelferreira | i use to have samba working ok in feisty. now with upgrade to gutsy i am unable to see windows shares from my lan. anyone knows what is wrong? | 01:20 |
| UndertakerX2 | well should i try ext3? | 01:20 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !ask | wick3dbluntz420 | 01:20 |
| ubotu | wick3dbluntz420: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 01:20 |
| sFEARs | ummm | 01:20 |
| UndertakerX2 | pointless? | 01:20 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | was that a yes? | 01:21 |
| sFEARs | i can't remember what the default type is for the os | 01:21 |
| sFEARs | i don't think it's ext2 though | 01:21 |
| === Spectral|afk is now known as Spectral | ||
| Paddy_EIRE | sFEARs, its ext3 if its ubuntu you are talking about | 01:21 |
| LordKow | hm, can you guys connect to ubuntu.com (or ping it)? | 01:21 |
| Paddy_EIRE | yes | 01:22 |
| LordKow | i have the gut feeling this universities internet just sucks but i want to verify | 01:22 |
| jrib | LordKow: wfm | 01:22 |
| sFEARs | ubuntu.com works good for me | 01:22 |
| UndertakerX2 | I tried installing with the partion unallocated as well | 01:22 |
| UndertakerX2 | that didnt work either | 01:22 |
| noelferreira | i use to have samba working ok in feisty. now with upgrade to gutsy i am unable to see windows shares from my lan. anyone knows what is wrong? | 01:22 |
| gene6482 | LordKow: yeah i got there | 01:22 |
| maek | anyone know how to set proxy info for gdebi or gdebi-gtk? thanks. | 01:22 |
| sFEARs | have you tried it with the format box checked | 01:23 |
| sFEARs | mabey it just needs to write a new fat | 01:23 |
| UndertakerX2 | yes and it still gices me the error so i cancelled | 01:23 |
| MattJ | wick3dbluntz420: there is #ubuntu-ppc too | 01:23 |
| dudewithtwoheads | i tryed installing ubuntu but i get a lot of errors like cant load file, shta should i do now ? | 01:23 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | kewl | 01:23 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | let me fix the x86 first | 01:24 |
| jrib | dudewithtwoheads: did you verify the cd was burned without errors? | 01:24 |
| LordKow | yea not a single computer here can get any response from ubuntu.com right now, figures. | 01:24 |
| sFEARs | i'm guessing you don't have anything on the partition yet? | 01:24 |
| UndertakerX2 | nope | 01:24 |
| sFEARs | delete it and create a new partition? | 01:24 |
| noelferreira | i use to have samba working ok in feisty. now with upgrade to gutsy i am unable to see windows shares from my lan. anyone knows what is wrong? | 01:24 |
| dudewithtwoheads | jrib, no i didnt, should i do that when ubuntu load / | 01:24 |
| jrib | dudewithtwoheads: yes, it is an option at the cd boot screen | 01:24 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | How are module options stored so I dont have to bash them every time I reboot? | 01:25 |
| FRuMMaGe | hi | 01:25 |
| sFEARs | let me see if i can figure out what type it needs to be | 01:25 |
| spriizha | hmm strange, but mybe someone here knows, why i can't enable animations on compiz? O_o | 01:25 |
| FRuMMaGe | im on dapper | 01:25 |
| UndertakerX2 | tried that, deleted then made the swap | 01:25 |
| cube | what channel would i go to for getting help on installing unreal tourney 3 natively on linux? | 01:25 |
| UndertakerX2 | ok | 01:25 |
| FRuMMaGe | is it worth upgrading to gutsy? | 01:25 |
| cube | yes its worth the upgrade | 01:25 |
| FRuMMaGe | really? | 01:25 |
| sFEARs | what are the options of types? | 01:25 |
| FRuMMaGe | anything in particular? | 01:25 |
| cube | really | 01:25 |
| sFEARs | is root an option | 01:25 |
| pozican | I'm trying to copy files from a hd to a usb hd - Unfortunatly I've had issues with files corrupting or not copying all of them - Is there a utility that will do checksums or somehow ensure it's actually copied correctly? | 01:25 |
| xargon | can someone help me out with enabling hardware acceleration? | 01:25 |
| sFEARs | type / | 01:25 |
| FRuMMaGe | will I have to reinstall all my programs? | 01:25 |
| cube | yeah if you upgrade anything on your computer its more likely that gutsy will provide better results | 01:25 |
| sFEARs | nevermind.. that's mount point | 01:26 |
| UndertakerX2 | yeah tried / mount | 01:26 |
| cube | for instance when i went to gutsy my graphics card finally worked right | 01:26 |
| LordKow | wow it took 2 weeks to find why this laptop im working on has all kinds of http issues: its one of the vista updates. | 01:26 |
| FRuMMaGe | can i set up a dual boot to try it? | 01:26 |
| sFEARs | i don't know much about it.. but i don't think ext2 is correct | 01:26 |
| LordKow | if i remove the update, internet works. if i install the update, internet doesnt work. | 01:26 |
| osxdude | brb | 01:26 |
| cube | you can try it with the install cd..its a live cd with the option to install | 01:26 |
| FRuMMaGe | oh ok cool | 01:26 |
| LordKow | now if this was ubuntu reporting it would be a piece of cake. but since this is Microsoft im going to have to deal with, i have no idea. | 01:26 |
| dimeotane | I'm wondering what terminal command will list out my hard drive device info. On the desktop I can click on the drive icon and view preferences... | 01:27 |
| noelferreira | i use to have samba working ok in feisty. now with upgrade to gutsy i am unable to see windows shares from my lan. anyone knows what is wrong? | 01:27 |
| FRuMMaGe | whats the best game on linux iyo? | 01:27 |
| dimeotane | sorry not preferences but "properties" | 01:27 |
| cube | UT3 is the best game | 01:27 |
| LordKow | dimeotane, such as partition info? | 01:27 |
| FRuMMaGe | is it native? | 01:27 |
| FRuMMaGe | loki? | 01:27 |
| cube | it will run native | 01:27 |
| cube | but thats what i am working on right now | 01:27 |
| LordKow | dimeotane, df -h | 01:27 |
| dimeotane | actually I'm looking for the drive ID name | 01:27 |
| LordKow | o | 01:27 |
| SpeakerMania | I saw an article on /. (slashdot) that said ubuntu kills your hard drive. Info, please? | 01:27 |
| FRuMMaGe | oh ok | 01:28 |
| FRuMMaGe | how does it compare to 2004 and goty | 01:28 |
| cube | speaker: consult the article | 01:28 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | In order to get sound on my video card capture ,I have to pass options to bttv | 01:28 |
| lamo | I'm installing from the live cd and what i need to know is when i delete my previous linux partitions and leave my vista. after i deleted my linux partitions and created a new linux for install if i select / as the mount point well it create a home and boot partition or do i have to create those? | 01:28 |
| FRuMMaGe | SpeakerMania: its been fixed | 01:28 |
| cube | i have no idea my copy of it is in the mail | 01:28 |
| FRuMMaGe | oh ok | 01:28 |
| dimeotane | Its a seagate but I wanna know the number | 01:28 |
| cube | but its gonna be the best fps | 01:28 |
| SpeakerMania | Thanks. :) | 01:28 |
| FRuMMaGe | ill play the demo first then | 01:28 |
| pibe86 | hello why do i get this "pibe86-desktop:~$ mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" | 01:28 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | I have scripted this in bash,to make it ez,but I would like it permenant | 01:29 |
| dimeotane | serial number or product number. fdisk-l doesn't return it and neither does df -h | 01:29 |
| UndertakerX2 | any ideas sFEARs? | 01:29 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | modules.conf is changed now so whats the answer? | 01:29 |
| FRuMMaGe | lol this place is crowded | 01:29 |
| jb0nd38372 | FRuMMaGe, this place stays busy :) | 01:29 |
| FRuMMaGe | lol | 01:30 |
| cube | frummage there is also a offtopic room if you have no problems | 01:30 |
| sFEARs | i think you need to use ext3 for the main partition | 01:30 |
| maybeway36 | I have a strange problem with SMB on GNOME | 01:30 |
| FRuMMaGe | whats the best irc client? | 01:30 |
| sFEARs | you get the same error? | 01:30 |
| FRuMMaGe | im using xchat atm | 01:30 |
| UndertakerX2 | never tried ext3 | 01:30 |
| sFEARs | yeah.. that's what you need | 01:30 |
| sFEARs | try that | 01:30 |
| UndertakerX2 | Guess i will try it now and report back | 01:31 |
| FRuMMaGe | ext3 is the most stable imo | 01:31 |
| sFEARs | good luck | 01:31 |
| tcpdumpking | yeya | 01:31 |
| crowley1027 | ANyone here use gtk-gnutella? | 01:31 |
| FRuMMaGe | is there a better irc client than xchat? | 01:31 |
| sFEARs | and if you don't have anything on there anyway | 01:31 |
| sFEARs | click ignore and see what happens | 01:31 |
| sFEARs | if your computer blows up make sure you let me know | 01:31 |
| UndertakerX2 | so there is no risk of it wiping out C:? | 01:32 |
| sFEARs | i'd have to get one just like yours | 01:32 |
| r00tintheb0x | yes UndertakerX2 | 01:32 |
| sFEARs | d;) | 01:32 |
| maybeway36 | Anyone familiar with GNOME and SMB share bowsing? | 01:32 |
| FRuMMaGe | yep | 01:32 |
| slimopant | i use gnome and how do i remove the setting that causes thre to be text over whatever my mouse is hovering over??? | 01:32 |
| FRuMMaGe | what do you want to know | 01:32 |
| sFEARs | i don't think so.. should only affect the particular partitioin | 01:32 |
| maybeway36 | I can't get to windows shares via Nautilus | 01:32 |
| Stwange | is there a way of merging !!:s/ls/nano and !!test.txt? | 01:32 |
| UndertakerX2 | kk nothing on there so lets hope so :p | 01:32 |
| sFEARs | unless it's a corrupt fat in the first place | 01:32 |
| pi-meson_ | Is there any way to get ubuntu to not run modpobe / install a module for a usb device based on the USB device's ID? | 01:32 |
| maybeway36 | cifs and Dolphin/Konqueror work fine | 01:32 |
| crowley1027 | i'm having a problem in gtk-gnutella, all of the file status's says "Waiting" | 01:32 |
| sFEARs | which in that case it could crash by itself reguardless | 01:33 |
| FRuMMaGe | maybeway: type in the terminal "man samba" | 01:33 |
| FRuMMaGe | it will show the documentation | 01:33 |
| r00tintheb0x | crowley1027 use f | 01:33 |
| r00tintheb0x | Frostwire | 01:33 |
| UndertakerX2 | and before i go I am running 1.25GB of ram should I up my swap now? | 01:33 |
| FRuMMaGe | or download a gui | 01:33 |
| maybeway36 | that won't help, that's for the command-line tool (which works, by the way) | 01:33 |
| FRuMMaGe | maybeway: download a samba gui | 01:33 |
| r00tintheb0x | right | 01:33 |
| maybeway36 | my forum post is actually at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=603732 | 01:33 |
| sFEARs | you always need to take caution when your playing with partitions | 01:33 |
| FRuMMaGe | oh ok | 01:33 |
| dataangel | anyone else have a problem in feisty where sometimes in an app where you press ctrl+s to save something, when you let go it keeps thinking s is pressed and repeats s's until you press another key? | 01:33 |
| LordKow | UndertakerX2, the way linux handles swap i would say no. | 01:34 |
| maybeway36 | is there a good one for GNOME? | 01:34 |
| dataangel | err, sorry in gutsy I mean | 01:34 |
| FRuMMaGe | i dont have one | 01:34 |
| shunter | r00tintheb0x : how many volts ? | 01:34 |
| FRuMMaGe | google it | 01:34 |

| UndertakerX2 | well its at 512MB for now (forgot to mention) | 01:34 |
| r00tintheb0x | 10000000000000000 | 01:34 |
| maybeway36 | I'll try some | 01:34 |
| LordKow | i have 1gb of ram and my swap usage is never more than 50mb | 01:34 |
| FRuMMaGe | is there a better irc client than xchat? | 01:34 |
| LordKow | irssi? :p | 01:34 |
| maybeway36 | It's strange it doesn't work though, many people use home networks and Windows shares | 01:34 |
| r00tintheb0x | FRuMMaGe thats like asking "Is there a better car than a Ford?" | 01:34 |
| FRuMMaGe | my swap never goes above 0.3% | 01:34 |
| r00tintheb0x | FRuMMaGe to each their own. | 01:35 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | Or an even ezier fix for me,how to add my script to exec at startup? | 01:35 |
| LordKow | r00tintheb0x, yes? | 01:35 |
| FRuMMaGe | im just asking | 01:35 |
| FRuMMaGe | in your opinio | 01:35 |
| r00tintheb0x | LordKow yes what? | 01:35 |
| sFEARs | the more swap you have the quicker your suspend will recover | 01:35 |
| LordKow | r00tintheb0x, nevermind i was missing your point | 01:35 |
| jimjam | Argh! I'm installing Ubuntu 7.04 on a system with Vista already, but it didn't install GRUB. | 01:35 |
| UndertakerX2 | suspend? :$ | 01:35 |
| jimjam | Any way to install is manually? Or do I have to reinstall ubuntu? | 01:35 |
| maybeway36 | If you have a floppy disk, try installing GRUB to that. | 01:35 |
| FRuMMaGe | jimjam: grub should have installed automagically | 01:35 |
| sFEARs | if you installed.. nevermind | 01:36 |
| sFEARs | auto | 01:36 |
| FRuMMaGe | jimjam: use a boot disk | 01:36 |
| jimjam | Frummage: I know it should have.. I've installed it on a few computers recently. I'm using the boot disk now. Can I install Grub from it? | 01:36 |
| noelferreira | i use to have samba working ok in feisty. now with upgrade to gutsy i am unable to see windows shares from my lan. anyone knows what is wrong? | 01:36 |
| sFEARs | do you mean you installed ubuntu but don't have a multiple boot screen? | 01:36 |
| sethk | jimjam, yes, you can install grub from the boot disk | 01:36 |
| jimjam | sFEARs: correct. It just boots into Vista like normal | 01:36 |
| FRuMMaGe | jimjam: you will need to download a grub boot disk | 01:37 |
| FRuMMaGe | jimjam: it depends | 01:37 |
| jimjam | Alright. Will do. Thanks | 01:37 |
| sethk | jimjam, make sure you tell it to install grub on the MBR | 01:37 |
| UndertakerX2 | ok going to try ext3 be back soon :p | 01:37 |
| sethk | jimjam, back up the MBR first :) | 01:37 |
| FRuMMaGe | jimjam: try it from ubuntu disk, or just get a grub disk | 01:37 |
| don_pucci | hey all | 01:37 |
| sFEARs | you need to edit your.. ummm | 01:37 |
| FRuMMaGe | what irc are you guys using? | 01:37 |
| FRuMMaGe | hi | 01:37 |
| sFEARs | let me think | 01:37 |
| SixedUpIRC | # | 01:37 |
| jimjam | sethk: Yeah, I've toasted that before. Learning the hard way sucks. I used a Vista reinstall disk to fix it | 01:37 |
| maybeway36 | noelferreira: strange... I use Dolphin or Konqueror, but that might be overkill on GNOME | 01:37 |
| don_pucci | is it ok to ask about airsnort and such apps in here? | 01:37 |
| FRuMMaGe | yeah | 01:37 |
| FRuMMaGe | fire away | 01:38 |
| Puppy_ | What is the command to install the xfce desktop environment? | 01:38 |
| FRuMMaGe | don_pucci: what dom you want to know | 01:38 |
| sethk | jimjam, you can back it up in linux (in case you don't know), e.g., dd if=/dev/hda of=some-file-name bs=512 count=1 | 01:38 |
| sFEARs | i think there's a grub folder | 01:38 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | Or an even ezier fix for me,how to add my script to exec at startup? | 01:38 |

| maybeway36 | there's a difference, I dont know what it is | 01:39 |
| sethk | jimjam, might you have a separate boot partition? | 01:39 |
| MattJ | pyr3: You want it to appear on the display of the PC you are connecting to? | 01:39 |
| don_pucci | so it can crack keys...and also sniff packets | 01:39 |
| maybeway36 | are you using lilo? | 01:39 |

| sFEARs | kind of liek c:/windows | 01:42 |
| MattJ | pyr3: Great | 01:42 |

| sFEARs | tghat's menu.lst file is the dual boot menu | 01:42 |

| MattJ | np | 01:42 |

| CyberMad | i want to create document storage with folder permission.. i did this on microsoft windows 2003 server on my company and i want replace it with Ubuntu, well i want user can access through samba, example: use map network drive and must enter their username & password, if not.. only have access as guest. I want the folder permission is inheritance to its subfolder, but i can set individual permission on its subfolder. How to do that? I want to manage the us | 01:51 |
| arken0493 | any one here know about installing my WMP54GS? | 01:51 |

| joules | hey | 01:51 |
| joules | random question here. so usually when im using gimp and looking for a file it will show me a thumbnail of the files (most importantly pictures) however if im looking for something through firefox or any other picture program it will just show me the list of items.. is there any way i can change it to thumbnail view? | 01:51 |
| CyberMad | does OpenLDAP suitable to my need? | 01:51 |
| pyr3 | Removing "xubuntu-desktop" won't remove all the dependencies that it installed | 01:51 |

| tkooda | I get a segfault during the "Setting up screen (4.0.3-0.4ubuntu2) ..." part of an `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install screen` on a new gutsy install? -I get the same segfault on the 'emacs21-nox' package, but not 'nmap'.. -is there a known work-around for this?? | 01:51 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | anyone? | 01:52 |
| zero | ok, how can i remove them all? | 01:52 |
| sFEARs | using apt-get remove will get rid of the dependencies right? | 01:52 |
| pyr3 | zero, I don't know offhand. "xubuntu-desktop" depends on all of the other packages, so it pulls them down when you install but... | 01:52 |
| Bax_ | this is probably off topic, but does anybody know how I can change the blinding white of the emacs background to black? the emacs editor that is | 01:52 |
| pyr3 | the other way I have no clue | 01:52 |
| joules | .... anyone? | 01:53 |
| sFEARs | if you used apt-get to install in the first place mabey? | 01:53 |
| pyr3 | You might just have to do "apt-cache showpkg xubuntu-desktop" to see what packages it installed | 01:53 |
| joules | how do i make nautilus have a preview section like on gimp? | 01:53 |
| r00tintheb0x | w00t | 01:53 |

| sFEARs | i'm sure firefox has an addon to do that joules | 01:53 |
| zero | }:S | 01:53 |
| sFEARs | google firefox thumbnail viewer | 01:53 |
| pyr3 | zero, There might be a way to automagically do it, but I don't know how. | 01:54 |
| joules | sFEARs: but this is not a firefox problem ... its a file manager program problem | 01:54 |
| dudewithtwoheads | ok im back, i checked cd for errors and everything was ok, but i got an error that it cant load bcm43xx_microdoc5.fw ??? | 01:54 |
| sFEARs | i would have to say negative on that one | 01:54 |
| sFEARs | it' | 01:54 |
| sFEARs | it's not a problem | 01:54 |
| sFEARs | just a configuration issue | 01:54 |
| pyr3 | zero, my feeling is that installing "xubuntu-desktop" is a one-way thing... so far as automation is involved. | 01:54 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | Ok fine I'll fix it myself(more likely break it)DOH....RIPS the cover off of modprobe.d | 01:54 |
| sFEARs | if gimp does it then it's not a file manager problem | 01:54 |
| sFEARs | becuase gimp usues your file manager when it opens files | 01:55 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | moves to options | 01:55 |
| zero | ok, how can i login to a "xubuntu safemode" so i can try to fix it myself | 01:55 |
| zero | ?? | 01:55 |
| arken0493 | go to the xubuntu chat | 01:55 |
| sFEARs | firefox doens't use your file manager.. it uses firefox to view files on the "server" which is your file manager | 01:55 |
| pyr3 | zero, huh? | 01:55 |
| tkooda | anyone else having issues with `post-installation` scripts segfaulting on a new gutsy install? | 01:55 |

| arang2 | any help_ | 02:07 |
| arang2 | pls | 02:07 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | changed | 02:07 |
| roussette | what about a web design program | 02:08 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | modprobe.d | 02:08 |
| pyr3 | zero, if you want to just get xubuntu to work... then maybe try uninstalling compiz | 02:08 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | options file | 02:08 |
| arang2 | please guys help , i dont wanna reinstall ubuntu | 02:08 |

| jolmash | hello, I followed the Ubuntu 7.04 perfect setup guide, but i need to install a web client, could you help me? and I don't know how to create mail accounts, please help | 02:08 |
| zero | apt-get remove compiz? | 02:08 |
| mycroftiv | arang2: you changed your hardware configuration underneath an existing install, which now freezes? | 02:08 |
| pyr3 | zero, yea. Or you could see what a "dpkg-reconfigure xubuntu-desktop" would do.... I don't know if that will reconfigure all the apps that xubuntu-desktop installed though. | 02:09 |
| zero | pyr3? | 02:09 |
| arang2 | mycroftiv: yes | 02:09 |
| zero | ok | 02:10 |
| arang2 | mycroftiv: there is a solution other than reinstalling everything? | 02:10 |
| mycroftiv | arang2: have you tried booting into safe mode? | 02:10 |
| pyr3 | It sounds like you tried to get compiz to work w/ Xfce and it isn't meshing... I'm not up on all the Xfce config files, but you just need to get it to use it's own window manager again | 02:10 |
| pyr3 | instead of compiz | 02:10 |
| arang2 | mycroftiv: yes once in safe mode it works | 02:10 |
| === pardus is now known as ubuntucokzor | ||
| zero | brb | 02:10 |
| arang2 | mycroftiv:but i end having just a prompt | 02:11 |
| ubuntucokzor | selam | 02:11 |
| sFEARs | joules | 02:11 |
| mycroftiv | arang2: so it sounds like it might just be your xorg settings when trying to start the xserver crashing the machine? did you change video cards? | 02:12 |
| squish102 | what is the best tool to do partitioning and formatting hard drives in ubunto... should i be figuring out the command line stuff? | 02:12 |
| blackvd | OK so how do you configuring compiz in ubuntu 7.10? | 02:12 |
| Guerra | squish, I love GParted. | 02:12 |
| sFEARs | why are you repartitioning? | 02:12 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Anyone have any idea why I can't select text in some apps (seems to be gtk apps that use gnome libraries)? It's as if mouse button is letting go automatically after a certain time (synaptics touchpad, ubuntu 7.10, gdm and fluxbox)? | 02:12 |
| squish102 | i have another drive i want to add | 02:12 |
| Jeffrey | Hi can anyone help me? I can't get my resolution to go higher then 1024x768? | 02:12 |
| Guerra | squish, go to applications and add Gparted. Really good. | 02:12 |
| squish102 | ok thanks | 02:13 |
| sFEARs | you sure you need to repartition? | 02:13 |
| roussette | i just left my windows lover, i met linux and i like him a lot but i would love to play my games so how do i do that | 02:13 |
| arang2 | mycroftiv: it should work though cos it's using the same video card from before and the same kernel | 02:13 |
| squish102 | i had lowleveled the drive in windows | 02:13 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | sethk btw there is no ect/modules directory in gutsy | 02:13 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | guess Im on my own here | 02:14 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | roussette: install an opensource game and enjoy? | 02:14 |
| mycroftiv | arang2: i'm not sure how changing your motherboard might affect everything that your startup scripts do, but if you can boot in single user mode to a command prompt your system should be fixable | 02:14 |
| noelferreira | i use to have samba working ok in feisty. now with upgrade to gutsy i am unable to see windows shares from my lan. anyone knows what is wrong? | 02:14 |
| jonathan_br_ba | guyz im having problems with my rt61 wireless card in 7.10, anyone having to | 02:14 |
| pyr3 | roussette, Cedega and/or Wine ? Dual-boot? Use a console Wii/Xbox360/PS3? | 02:14 |
| Guerra | Opensource game! barf! | 02:14 |
| roussette | ok cap picard where do i get an opensource | 02:14 |
| sFEARs | google partitioner | 02:15 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | Im stuck with my workaround to fix this PCTV video card | 02:15 |
| sFEARs | with a fresh drive you could try them all and see what you like | 02:15 |
| Guerra | Has anyone installed the X-Fi sound card driver? I can't seem to do it. | 02:15 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | at least I CAN fix it | 02:15 |
| sFEARs | if you just formated might as well try out a couple different things | 02:15 |
| Jeffrey | Hi can anyone help me? I can't get my resolution to go higher then 1024x768? | 02:15 |
| Guerra | Argh. Need help installing drivers. The ATI one, and Creative X Fi soundcard. | 02:15 |
| sFEARs | update your drivers jeffrey | 02:16 |
| sFEARs | or your video card doesn't support more than 1024x768 | 02:16 |
| roussette | no just my pc games and cedega is a paying site and i refuse to pay | 02:16 |
| squish102 | sFEARs: im trying gparted atm | 02:16 |
| pyr3 | I've heard the Creative X Fi driver is alpha-quality at best. | 02:16 |
| dudewithtwoheads | so my problem is: i was trying to isntall ubuntu but i got an error that bcm43xx_microdoc5.fw is missing, it has to do something with wireless. what should i do ? | 02:16 |
| Winball | guerra sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx | 02:16 |
| arang2 | mycroftiv: i know what should i do_ please tell me | 02:16 |
| pyr3 | There is a bug list somewhere | 02:16 |
| Jeffrey | sFEARs, how can I update my drivers my card goes well beyond that res. | 02:16 |
| Guerra | Winball: Will that get me restricted drivers? | 02:16 |
| mycroftiv | arang2: from a boot into single user mode you can try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start and see if that is where the system has trouble, because that should start your xserver from the command prompt | 02:16 |
| Winball | Guerra ye | 02:16 |
| pyr3 | Guerra, http://doggdot.us/rd/89167/http://digg.com/linux_unix/Creative_Labs_screws_Linux_users | 02:17 |
| sFEARs | ummm.. that i don't think i can help you with | 02:17 |
| Guerra | Winball: problem is, everytime I install the ATI restricted one, I can't boot up anymore. | 02:17 |
| Ludwig7667 | i'm on ubuntu 7.10 i may have screwed something up with compiz. so i think i'd like to start it from fresh, how would i totaly remove it? oh and i think i screwed it up after installing fusion-icon. lol at the time i dunno what i was thinking. | 02:17 |
| Jeffrey | sFEARs, i have a nvidia card and it currently has a restricted driver | 02:17 |
| arang2 | mycroftiv: ok i will try what if it freezes what do i do | 02:17 |
| Guerra | pyr3, but it says it has 64 bit OS, I have 64 gutsy | 02:17 |
| Mexflubber | does ubuntu has "top" ? | 02:17 |
| squish102 | i know this is something i should know, but comming from FC and being able to su - (to have a root window) how do i do that in ubuntu? | 02:18 |
| roussette | cap picard i use pc game | 02:18 |
| mycroftiv | arang2: well, you might be able to get the terminal back with ctrl-alt-f2 which would tell you if its a hard lockup or just the xserver freezing. | 02:18 |
| sFEARs | i'm not sure how to update the drive | 02:18 |
| jrib | !root > squish102 (read the private message from ubotu) | 02:18 |
| sFEARs | driver | 02:18 |
| mycroftiv | arang2: and if it DOES freeze then we know that it IS the video startup taht is causing your issue | 02:18 |
| sFEARs | but i would guess that's where your problems lies | 02:18 |
| arang2 | mycroftiv i'll give it a try | 02:18 |
| arang2 | brb | 02:18 |
| squish102 | thanks jrib | 02:18 |
| Dankchild | hey i have a external hard drive (ntfs) how can i take ownership of it? | 02:19 |
| drgeb | anyone know a repo for affinity ? | 02:19 |
| sFEARs | smack it and call it your bitch | 02:19 |
| sFEARs | say.. call me bwana | 02:20 |
| Dankchild | lol but really | 02:20 |
| DANONURA | is it ok to roam the net using ubuntu from live cd? | 02:20 |
| roussette | Cap picard: I use pc game and i whant to use wine does any game work | 02:20 |
| sFEARs | hell yeah danonura | 02:20 |
| sethk | Dankchild, look at the UID= and GID= options for NTFS mount | 02:20 |
| sethk | Dankchild, writing to NTFS is still a bit involved | 02:20 |
| DANONURA | just starting to use ubuntu | 02:20 |
| Dankchild | sethk: i have no idea what that means </noob> | 02:20 |
| sFEARs | it will just run really slow DANONURA | 02:21 |
| DANONURA | hmm | 02:21 |
| sethk | Dankchild, do "man fstab" (or "man mount") and search for NTFS | 02:21 |
| sFEARs | unless your have like 30gigs of ram | 02:21 |
| tritium | DANONURA: sure, you can | 02:21 |
| DANONURA | you don't need firewall? | 02:21 |
| DANONURA | cool | 02:21 |
| sFEARs | well | 02:21 |
| sFEARs | that's a little different | 02:21 |
| sFEARs | you don't need a firewall to surf the net | 02:21 |
| Sir-Integra | hey, i'm hving some issues with my broadcom wireless internet, i've installed ndiswrapper and followed a few guides, but still no luck, what's odd is wlan is showing as eth1 instead of wlan0 | 02:21 |
| jonathan_br_ba | guyz i having problems to compile thins in ubuntu kernel generic, can you help me? | 02:21 |
| roussette | Hello I whAnt to use linux avec mes games | 02:21 |
| Dankchild | sethk: im an ultimate noob can you walk me through it? | 02:22 |
| Sir-Integra | anyone have any idea how to help me? | 02:22 |
| jb44 | DANONURA: i am no longer really new but use live cd all the time | 02:22 |
| sFEARs | i have an idea Sir | 02:22 |
| Jolinar | Hi, does anyone know where i might find a driver for a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme audio for ubuntu 7.10 gutsy 32bit edition? | 02:22 |
| sFEARs | drive fast into a brick wall | 02:22 |
| norty | Can someone help me? I have a taskbar on auto-hide but I want it to popup faster than the default speed, how do i change this? | 02:22 |
| Sir-Integra | appreciate it, but not helping in this situation, sFEARs | 02:23 |
| DANONURA | jb44:thanks | 02:23 |
| sethk | Dankchild, at a prompt, type "man fstab". then, it will display the first page. use the space bar to advance through pages. To search, use /. So, when "man fstab" comes up, simply type "/NTFS" | 02:23 |
| sFEARs | you askede | 02:23 |
| jb44 | DANONURA: a live cd may take some time to boot and run but not really that big of a deal | 02:23 |
| sethk | Dankchild, you can also use info to look at the same information, with a more sophisticated interface. | 02:23 |
| sethk | Dankchild, or there are web sites with the same info in HTML. | 02:23 |
| sFEARs | what situation might you be talking about | 02:23 |
| jb44 | DANONURA: once you have opened apps they tend work just like from hard drive | 02:23 |
| _Photon_ | Hi | 02:24 |
| sFEARs | hello _Photon_ | 02:24 |
| _Photon_ | when i compile i get this error on KDevelop | 02:24 |
| _Photon_ | http://rafb.net/p/valGCn78.html | 02:24 |
| DANONURA | jb44: would it be better to create a partition on my other hd and install ubuntu or is that what using live cd is 4? | 02:24 |
| Dankchild | sethk: thanks man, ill try to figure it out. | 02:24 |
| sFEARs | better for what danonura? | 02:25 |
| jb44 | DANONURA: although some may disagree its really a matter of choice | 02:25 |
| sFEARs | installing ubuntu & surfing will be the same as surfing off the live cd.. it's just a speed difference | 02:25 |
| vontux | can someone in here give me a few pointers about configuring ssh so that I can remotely log onto my computer? | 02:25 |
| sFEARs | and off the live cd you can't save your configurations.. homepage, favorites.. etc | 02:25 |
| nhlinux | I'm running Gutsy and it seems that 1) My wireless freezes for 2-3 minutes and resumes working. 2) My CPU temperature is very high. Please help me troubleshoot. | 02:26 |
| elliott_ | vontux apt-get install openssh-server | 02:26 |
| jrib | !ssh > vontux (read the private message from ubotu) | 02:26 |
| DANONURA | can i see connections to the internet somewhere in ubuntu? | 02:26 |
| sFEARs | are you on a laptop nhlinux? | 02:26 |
| jb44 | DANONURA: some would only use live cd as a way to test distro with their software but have seen a number of articles on live cd as daily desktop and that is how i use it | 02:26 |
| maek | in nautilus is it possible to make it so when I single click on a location under "places" it takes me there vs having to double click? thanks. | 02:26 |
| sFEARs | i had problems with my gateway temp after upgrade to ubuntu 6 | 02:26 |

| norty | Can someone help me? I have a taskbar on auto-hide but I want it to popup faster than the default speed, how do i change this? | 02:27 |
| chuy_max|laptop | I was wondering if someone can help me with video card, I installed gutsy in my laptop, I do glxinfo and direct rendering is on, I installed the 3D game tremulous but it looks blurry, any ideas on why it can be happening? | 02:27 |
| Jolinar | Hi, does anyone know where i might find a driver for a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme audio for ubuntu 7.10 gutsy 32bit edition? | 02:27 |
| sFEARs | i never figured out why.. i got another laptop and don't run linux on my old one | 02:27 |
| sFEARs | it's a known issue.. i think | 02:27 |
| sFEARs | i don't know if a different kernel would fix that or not | 02:27 |
| sFEARs | i never tired | 02:27 |
| sFEARs | tried* | 02:28 |
| nhlinux | This thing came with Vista, I really don't want to g back to Vista. But the wireless is just about unusable. | 02:28 |
| _Photon_ | can anyone using kdevelop help | 02:28 |
| _Photon_ | ? | 02:28 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | chuy_max|laptop: Have you changed the ingame settings? | 02:28 |
| nhlinux | bcm43xx chipset and driver | 02:28 |
| DANONURA | when using ubuntu what irc client do most people use? | 02:28 |
| Gunn | DANONURA I use Xchat | 02:29 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | DANONURA: I use irssi | 02:29 |
| sFEARs | i read something about a ubuntu out of the box supporting wireless cards being developed | 02:29 |
| sFEARs | proally on the next release | 02:29 |
| DANONURA | thanks | 02:29 |
| Walfair | DANONURA, Xchat here | 02:29 |
| infocrash | _Photon_ what version of automake you are using? | 02:29 |
| Winball | DANONURA xchat or irssi | 02:29 |
| Jolinar | DANONURA: Xchat here | 02:29 |
| nhlinux | DANONURA: xchat. But I use Konversation | 02:29 |
| Winball | DANONURA Im using BitchX | 02:29 |
| jb44 | for those interested in daily use of live cd as desktop there is a great article on 'desktoplinux' site | 02:29 |
| _Photon_ | 1.10 i think | 02:29 |
| sFEARs | <~~~ using windows because wireless doesn't work on my ubuntu | 02:29 |
| _Photon_ | 1.10 | 02:29 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | my ipw3945 worked out of the box on feisty IIRC. | 02:30 |
| _Photon_ | should i get 1.9? | 02:30 |
| slugz | sFears, you can get the wireless to work | 02:30 |
| slugz | you have to install it manually | 02:30 |
| sFEARs | i know.. but can't figure out how | 02:30 |
| sFEARs | and i have to jump back and forth so many times | 02:30 |
| sFEARs | i just gave up until i have a hard wire connection | 02:30 |
| Winball | sFEARs ndiswrapper ? | 02:30 |
| sFEARs | i couldn't get it right | 02:30 |
| _Photon_ | infocrash: so..? its 1.10? | 02:30 |
| infocrash | try to install 1.9.6 | 02:31 |
| infocrash | i think your automake might be broken | 02:31 |
| chuy_max|laptop | Cap_J_L_Picard, I just did, if I resize the window to 1/4 of my monitor, it looks ok, but when it's fullscreen it's blurry. I just changed the in game settings to Quality: FASTEST | 02:31 |
| _Photon_ | should i reinstall? | 02:31 |
| squish102 | sFEARs: not having wireless working is a PITA | 02:31 |
| nhlinux | My wireless works but it stops responding when CPU load spikes | 02:31 |
| jovian | I am on gutsy with the ati restricted drivers is it possible to use compiz? | 02:31 |
| _Photon_ | ok | 02:31 |
| infocrash | remove it then install a supported version | 02:31 |
| mssever | Quick question: I can upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy from the alternate install CD, right? | 02:31 |
| _Photon_ | it is supported | 02:32 |
| chuy_max|laptop | jovian, yes, it is possible, as direct rendering is working fine | 02:32 |
| Hubris2 | I have a 6800GT working just great under Gutsy. I want to swap it out for an 8600GT, however it fails to load the Xserver. How do I reconfigure it? | 02:32 |
| arghh2d2 | go go glitchie glibbon, its all about the eyecandy kids! | 02:32 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | arghh2d2: Yep | 02:32 |
| Jolinar | Hi, does anyone know where i might find a driver for a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme audio for ubuntu 7.10 gutsy 32bit edition? | 02:32 |
| chuy_max|laptop | mssever, what if you need to upgrade packages not found in install CD? | 02:32 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: Nowhere? | 02:32 |
| Shpoo1 | Hey everyone, anyone here using Songbird? | 02:33 |
| jovian | chuy_max|laptop, where do I go to configure? sorry for the basics I'm new | 02:33 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: no driver for the card or you dont know? | 02:33 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: we've moaned a creative for mon... I mean years.. | 02:33 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: It's that particular card. | 02:34 |
| SpeakerMania | Where is my digital camera mounted so I can transfer files to it? | 02:34 |
| mssever | chuy_max|laptop: The reason I ask is because my ISP imposes severe bandwidth limits and I have two machines to upgrade. If I upgrade via the network, I'll have to use the Internet sparingly for two months just so I'll have enough for the upgrade | 02:34 |
| Shpoo1 | Well, anyways, is there an easy way to get an EQ without switching to JACK? | 02:34 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, ordinarily at the next available sd drive, such as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. | 02:34 |
| mssever | SpeakerMania: somewhere under /media | 02:34 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: is there a way to disable it so i can use my onboard in linux, and when im booting into XP i can use my creative? | 02:34 |
| norty | Can someone help me? I have a taskbar on auto-hide but I want it to popup faster than the default speed, how do i change this? | 02:34 |
| DANONURA | jb44: so when i'm booted into ubuntu, i just browse through my windows and double click on an irc client,lets say, irssi, that prog just executes like normal? | 02:35 |
| igor_ | whats a good GUI VPN client? | 02:35 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: does it come up with 'aplay -h' ? | 02:35 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, the mount point is under /media as mssever said. do "mount | grep sd" and hopefully you'll see which ones are possible | 02:35 |
| _Photon_ | infocrash: http://rafb.net/p/gGTdVX97.html | 02:35 |
| DANONURA | windows files, i mean | 02:35 |
| ScrewdriverClock | y | 02:35 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: That needs running in a terminal. | 02:35 |
| dzer0 | hello | 02:35 |
| Winball | DANONURA yes with xchat, its possible with irssi too | 02:35 |
| jdm64 | I upgraded to gusty and now the Intel i915 graphic card doesn't use DRI!!!! | 02:35 |
| Shpoo1 | SpeakerMania: my cameras usually show up on the desktop when I p[lug them in | 02:36 |
| DANONURA | nice | 02:36 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: dunno, im a bit n00bish in linux still, all i know is that when the creative is installed my onboard doesnt work | 02:36 |
| Hubris2 | Ubuntu forums seem to say the Nvidia 8600GT is now supported by the latest restricted Nvidia driver....which is what I'm running. How come my Xserver fails to load when I install it? | 02:36 |
| neil_d | is there a way to get 'tar' to archive only the files listed in a text file ? e.g. file 'files.txt' has a list in it, get 'tar' to create an archive of those files | 02:36 |
| Winball | DANONURA irssi is an textbased IRCclient | 02:36 |
| Jeffrey | can anyone help me get 5.1 surround sound works, i currently only get sound out of the sub and 1 speaker | 02:36 |
| dzer0 | there's a program that will tell you what button you are pressing when you press it, but I can't seem to find the name of it anywhere...can anyone help me out? | 02:36 |
| igor_ | whats a good GUI VPN client? | 02:36 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: What is the output of that command? | 02:36 |
| Winball | DANONURA xchat is like mirc | 02:36 |
| chuy_max|laptop | jovian, feisty? | 02:36 |
| sethk | jdm64, see if DRI is enabled in the config file (look for DRI or dri in a modules section) | 02:36 |
| arghh2d2 | !bitchx | 02:36 |

| tetsu | Just today a new filesystem has been mounted: lrm 315M 18M 298M 6% /lib/modules/2.6.17-12-generic/volatile | 02:37 |
| tetsu | what is this? | 02:37 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, well, what do you mean by "did any good"? | 02:37 |
| jdm64 | sethk: in where? xorg.conf? | 02:37 |
| sethk | jdm64, right | 02:37 |
| Andrew_1 | Is anyone here running Ubuntu/Xubuntu on a mac powerbook g4? | 02:37 |
| mssever | SpeakerMania: If it isn't listed when you type mount, then it isn't mounted... | 02:37 |
| Gunn | DANONURA just use Xchat | 02:37 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, ok, then, question one, is it connected with a USB cable? Is it turned on? | 02:37 |
| slugz | #bitchx | 02:37 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: i dont know, i just know it doesnt work atm, i've tried swapping driver in the volume control but thats where my knowledge ends | 02:37 |
| Shpoo1 | SpeakerMania: no offense by this, but is the camera set to USB, or computer, or whatever they call it on your camera? | 02:37 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: Should be -l not -h... sry my mistake. | 02:37 |
| Andrew_1 | I'm having problems with sound on this machine... (mac powerbook g4) | 02:37 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, the command didn't do anything, it isn't on my desktop, and it isn't in media or dev. By USB, and it is on. | 02:37 |
| Gunn | DANONURA open up your Packet Manager and do a search for Xchat | 02:37 |
| _Photon_ | waiting... | 02:38 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, it isn't possible that it "didn't do anything". It is possible that it isn't in your search path. In that case ... | 02:38 |
| jovian | chuy_max|laptop, gutsy fresh install | 02:38 |
| mssever | _Photon_: for what? | 02:38 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: Open a terminal, and type 'aplay -h' (without the quotes) then hit enter? | 02:38 |
| DANONURA | anyone help with this: i tried to make new partitions with Acronis Disk Director Suite but it says it couldn't do it because its a dynamic drive | 02:38 |
| liddan | Anyone here that knows btnx? I am trying to find the Keycode for back and forward in Firefox. | 02:38 |
| jovian | is updated | 02:38 |
| Shpoo1 | Anyone know of a way to control EQ settings for ALSA or OSS? | 02:38 |
| _Photon_ | for infocrash | 02:38 |
| SpeakerMania | the import photos box comes up. | 02:38 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, do: locate mount and see where it is, and refer to it by the full path name | 02:38 |
| _Photon_ | http://rafb.net/p/gGTdVX97.html | 02:38 |
| mssever | DANONURA: Have you tried to use GParted? | 02:38 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: can i pm you the results? | 02:38 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, it has to be one of: /bin/mount, /sbin/mount, /usr/bin/mount, /usr/sbin/mount | 02:38 |
| jb44 | DANONURA: re irc client, i jsut use the one in the distro live cd. i am using jubuntu now and it has konversation as the app in the internet section of apps | 02:38 |
| === bEar__ is now known as aaGp | ||
| infocrash | _Photon_ what are you trying to compile? | 02:39 |
| chuy_max|laptop | jovian, why don't you try compiz --replace in terminal | 02:39 |
| _Photon_ | an hello world program | 02:39 |
| DANONURA | i did but something went wrong, trying to remember. | 02:39 |
| _Photon_ | test program | 02:40 |
| Shpoo1 | This new Songbird programs seems to put out flat highs and lows with no mids....i can't handle it lol | 02:40 |
| _Photon_ | to see if it works | 02:40 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, I don't see it anywhere | 02:40 |
| DANONURA | ah there were logs. i'll have a look | 02:40 |
| dzer0 | what's the name of the program that will tell you what key/button you are pressing? I know it's command line and its name is short but I cant remember specifically what it's called | 02:40 |
| jdm64 | sethk: it doesn't have a dri section, but I looked at the Xorg.log and it said: "(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)" | 02:40 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: Sure | 02:40 |
| jb44 | DANONURA: [sorry] meant kubuntu--re irc client, i jsut use the one in the distro live cd. i am using jubuntu now and it has konversation as the app in the internet section of apps | 02:40 |
| infocrash | well configure does not recognize test | 02:40 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: Unless your not registered? | 02:41 |
| _Photon_ | then...what should i do? lol | 02:41 |
| _Photon_ | its such a pain to develop on linux | 02:41 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: im probably not | 02:41 |
| jovian | chuy_max|laptop, get xgl not present | 02:41 |
| mssever | _Photon_: I'm not a C++ programer, but it looks like you need to solve this: /usr/share/aclocal/libfame.m4:6: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_LIBFAME | 02:41 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: Then use a pastebin | 02:41 |
| _Photon_ | i dont even know, what the hell that it | 02:41 |
| _Photon_ | is* | 02:41 |
| infocrash | _Photon_ did you ran ./configure test? | 02:41 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | !pastebin | 02:41 |
| RICHY | hey guys | 02:41 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 02:41 |
| _Photon_ | no, how can i? | 02:42 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org right? | 02:42 |
| _Photon_ | any command line? | 02:42 |
| chuy_max|laptop | jovian, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager | 02:42 |
| jovian | chuy_max|laptop, thx | 02:42 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: Yes. | 02:42 |
| Sir-Integra | hello, i'm having some issues installing my broadcom wireless on ubuntu, i've tried using ndiswrapper and reading some guides on ubuntu forums, but not avail, anyone have any ideas? | 02:42 |
| DANONURA | jb44: thanks, i'll just use that. i just dl 7.10, then burned to cd iso, checked md5 hash, its ok. | 02:42 |
| Sir-Integra | the wireless just doesn't seem to register. | 02:42 |
| ivan_ | #compiz-fusion | 02:43 |
| RICHY | i installing Anjuta IDE and my projects compiles fine.. but my build option is disabled | 02:43 |
| mssever | _Photon_: just type what infocrash gave you from the source directory | 02:43 |
| infocrash | On Kdevelop, did you added extra arguments when you choose configure | 02:43 |
| technicallyhesri | Sir-Integra, which version of Ubuntu are you running? | 02:43 |
| Sir-Integra | latest version. | 02:43 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: you need a link or something? | 02:43 |
| RICHY | what could cause the build button to be disabled in Anjuta | 02:43 |
| technicallyhesri | which broadcom chipset? | 02:43 |
| Sir-Integra | one second. | 02:43 |
| infocrash | let me install kdevelop | 02:43 |
| _Photon_ | i did nothing, i just installed kDevelop, | 02:43 |
| _Photon_ | automake and autoconf | 02:43 |
| Sir-Integra | Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) | 02:43 |
| _Photon_ | build essentials | 02:43 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Yes, just give the url of the post (bit in addressbar) | 02:43 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43624/ | 02:44 |
| _Photon_ | and started a hello world program lol | 02:44 |
| tatters | Kubuntu has an option on right click to move / copy files or folder to another location is it possible to get same option with gnome? | 02:44 |
| mssever | _Photon_: Did you install build-essential? | 02:44 |
| Tarelerul | My ubuntu's xorg shows me an black screen and I don't have net. Ndiswrapper don't seem to work for my wireless card so I am wordering if there is way to write to a config file with windows and yes I can get at the ext3 partition | 02:44 |
| _Photon_ | yeh everything needed is installed | 02:44 |
| infocrash | _Photon_ you need also make, and some other packages? | 02:44 |
| _Photon_ | automake | 02:44 |
| _Photon_ | is installed | 02:44 |
| mssever | _Photon_: I'm just not sure why you're using m4 for a Hello world program. | 02:44 |
| RICHY | Unable to build Console Hello World C++ project in Anjuta IDE ... | 02:44 |
| technicallyhesri | Sir-Int, you might need to blacklist the ubuntu driver to get ndiswrapper to take hold | 02:44 |
| technicallyhesri | have you read anything about this? | 02:44 |
| infocrash | how about make? | 02:44 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, i already tried this. | 02:44 |
| MattJ | RICHY: You have a compiler, etc. installed? | 02:45 |
| DANONURA | i just opened Ubuntu 7.10 (disc tree) | 02:45 |
| jb44 | ANONURA: hope you dont have trouble with 7.10 since a number have been having trouble with screen resolution with monitors and i am one of them in trouble, went back to 7.04 till i can figure out my problem | 02:45 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, maybe i went wrong somewhere, do you have a url for me to try? or could you possibly walk me through it? | 02:45 |
| infocrash | and you may need G++ install aswell | 02:45 |
| l2oi3 | hey, would anybody know why I can connect to my router using roaming, but when I set up a static ip address I can't connect. | 02:45 |
| mssever | RICHY: Have you installed build-essential? | 02:45 |
| Hubris2 | Anybody have an idea why the latest restricted Nvidia driver would work great with a 6800GT, but refuse to load with an 8600GT? | 02:45 |
| DANONURA | really wow | 02:45 |
| logreeval | Ok, I have sound but my speakers do not produce LOUD sound, its really quiet, I am using ALSA? | 02:45 |
| technicallyhesri | i will look up some resources, just a sec | 02:45 |
| jpastore | last night I got sync evolution working. a few packages got updated today that have nothing to do with evolution or syncevolution that I can tell and I'm getting a segmentation fault...does anyone else use syncevolution? | 02:45 |
| _Photon_ | its installed infocrash | 02:45 |
| Sir-Integra | thank you, technicallyhesri | 02:45 |
| RICHY | :mattj yea all dependencies are installed | 02:45 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: Um, seems to detect and setup both. | 02:45 |
| jsoftw | eww. | 02:45 |
| jsoftw | It smells of smelly nerds in here. | 02:46 |
| RICHY | missever: i've installed all dependences but the build button is disabled | 02:46 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: Yes, but now the sound doesnt work on either | 02:46 |
| _Photon_ | G++ is installed | 02:46 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, any help? | 02:46 |
| DANONURA | does everyone check md5 hashes? | 02:46 |
| jsoftw | Have a shower, you guys. | 02:46 |
| LjL | then leave jsoftw | 02:46 |
| infocrash | let me install kdevelop | 02:46 |
| MattJ | RICHY: Install build-essential package | 02:46 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, sorry, I was on the phone, what was your last question? | 02:46 |
| _Photon_ | why doesnt everything come all in one? like VC++??? | 02:46 |
| mssever | _Photon_: Looking further at your error, it appears that something is wrong in configure.in around line 4 | 02:46 |
| jamiejackson | is there a way to launch a file from the cli with its associated app (without specifying the app)? | 02:46 |
| technicallyhesri | Sir-Int, what do you see in network manager? | 02:46 |
| logreeval | anyone? | 02:46 |
| _Photon_ | ok | 02:46 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: Now, you are going to need someone elses help as I'm not sure how it's suppose to be done in ubuntu, but the second card needs setting as system default. | 02:47 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, I can't find my camera anywhere | 02:47 |
| technicallyhesri | does your hardware show up? | 02:47 |
| Sir-Integra | i see, wireless connection and wired connection | 02:47 |
| RICHY | MATT: ok i'll try that | 02:47 |
| LjL | jamiejackson: gnome-open filename (i think) | 02:47 |
| technicallyhesri | does wireless connection activate and find networks? | 02:47 |
| Sir-Integra | no | 02:47 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, ok. Here is one thing to try. Do: "tail /var/log/messages" | 02:47 |
| technicallyhesri | okay, one sec | 02:47 |
| arghh2d2 | Message to anyone using 7.10 and having trouble right now, Ubuntu needs you and all your problems to iron out all the bugs... you should do like i do an wait untill 8.04 is released before upgrading to 7.10. | 02:47 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: mmkay, thanks m8 | 02:47 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, first, actually, turn the camera off | 02:47 |
| Sir-Integra | okay | 02:47 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, then do "tail /var/log/messages" | 02:47 |
| Sir-Integra | now my wireless isn't showing up oO | 02:47 |
| tatters | 7.10 is a rushed release imo, its wireless support is abysmal | 02:48 |
| LjL | arghh2d2, are you, like, a troll? | 02:48 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, then turn the camera on, and repeat tail /var/log/messages. There should be messages showing that the USB device appearing was detected, and it should give you info about how (and if) it is mounted | 02:48 |
| l2oi3 | yeah, I cant get static IP's working on 7.10 for both wired and wireless | 02:48 |
| technicallyhesri | Sir-Int, i'm sure you saw this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=265284 | 02:48 |
| l2oi3 | any ideas? | 02:48 |
| RICHY | MATT: build-essential is already installed | 02:48 |
| LjL | l2oi3: disable that pesky network manager | 02:49 |
| _Photon_ | now what? | 02:49 |
| sethk | l2oi3, you can't get _static_ working? I've talked to a couple of people who had static working but not DHCP, but not that anyone can't get static working | 02:49 |
| RICHY | MATT: but i'm still not getting the build option | 02:49 |
| Mystroth | Does anyone know how to get the kool GUI effects (3d effects) for Ubuntu 6.0.6 LTS (have an ATI Radeon 9600XT video card) | 02:49 |
| _Photon_ | should i try to make a new project? | 02:49 |
| MattJ | RICHY: Then I don't know :/ | 02:49 |
| mssever | l2oi3: Set them up in /etc/networking/interfaces | 02:49 |
| Freaken | Hi, I have a trouble with Gutsy, I have extreme slowdowns (enough so that it's hard to move the mouse), but if I reboot, then everything is fine. Anyone might know what I need to check first? I have a decent comp (Athlon XP 2200, 1gb ram, etc) | 02:49 |
| dudewithtwoheads | could someone help me, this is starting to anoy me a lot, i tryed everything but i simply can't insall kubuntu on my laptop.. any ideas ? | 02:49 |
| l2oi3 | so | 02:49 |
| technicallyhesri | Sir-Int, this suggests confirming that ndiswrapper is functioning first | 02:49 |
| l2oi3 | instead of using the gui manager? | 02:49 |
| mssever | l2oi3: Oops... /etc/network/interfaces | 02:49 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, what happens when you try to install it? | 02:49 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, it just shows that is was connected and things like "new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7" | 02:50 |
| arghh2d2 | is anyone running 7.04 having any issues with anything lately? | 02:50 |
| mssever | l2oi3: The GUI should work, as well | 02:50 |
| nhlinux | Freaken: bring up a terminal and run the dmesg command | 02:50 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, yeah, i had it ndis working before, but something has just messed up. i have not seen thsi link but ones similar to it. | 02:50 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, ok, that's good, but you see nothing with a reference like /dev/sda (or sdb, sdc, etc.)? | 02:50 |
| l2oi3 | when i take it off roaming, I don't get an IP | 02:50 |
| Sir-Integra | let me try this | 02:50 |
| _Photon_ | SUCESS | 02:50 |
| _Photon_ | :D | 02:50 |
| dudewithtwoheads | sethk well i get an error... and root witouth gui | 02:50 |
| LjL | Mystroth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager | 02:50 |
| mssever | l2oi3: You might want to restart networking to apply the changes: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 02:50 |
| technicallyhesri | okay, do you have the GUI for ndiswrapper? | 02:50 |
| LjL | Mystroth: i'm not sure i'd recommend it though | 02:50 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, do lsmod make sure the usbdisk module is loaded | 02:50 |
| _Photon_ | Infocrash, thanks alot and mssever | 02:50 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, no... not that i can see | 02:50 |
| technicallyhesri | don't remember what it's called, but it makes life easy | 02:50 |
| Freaken | nhlinux: Trying that out, sec | 02:50 |
| mssever | _Photon_: What did it turn out to be? | 02:50 |
| _Photon_ | thanks | 02:51 |
| Sir-Integra | ndisgtk? | 02:51 |
| Mystroth | LjL, why not? | 02:51 |
| _Photon_ | i just made a new project lol | 02:51 |
| Winball | dudewithtwoheads Try using the livecd and test for errors on the cd? | 02:51 |
| l2oi3 | will try. | 02:51 |
| infocrash | and it works? | 02:51 |
| _Photon_ | yeh | 02:51 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, you might try doing a normal ubuntu install (rather than kubuntu), and then install the kde desktop. The end result is the same as a kubuntu install | 02:51 |
| _Photon_ | i first installed automake 1.9 | 02:51 |
| infocrash | well idk why but your kdevelop passed test to configure | 02:51 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, ndisgtk? | 02:51 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, if you have problems even doing that, then use the text mode install on the alternate cd, then install the desktop as a second phase. | 02:51 |
| Freaken | nhlinux: brb, I'll switch irc to that comp | 02:51 |
| jamiejackson | thx LjL | 02:51 |
| infocrash | configure.in:4: option `test' not recognized | 02:51 |
| dudewithtwoheads | winball i tested for errors and how to run livecd i just have this cd | 02:51 |
| _Photon_ | thats gone now | 02:51 |
| dzer0 | my laptop has a special key (keycode for it is 159) but in xev it shows up as having no symbol...how can I assign this key to open up a terminal since all I know is the keycode? | 02:51 |
| _Photon_ | deleted the old project | 02:52 |
| mssever | l2oi3: "take it off roaming": What do you mean by that? | 02:52 |
| infocrash | o.k | 02:52 |
| technicallyhesri | yeah that's it ndisgtk | 02:52 |
| _Photon_ | and made a new one | 02:52 |
| LjL | Mystroth: because compiz wasn't stable on Dapper even when Dapper was current, i think the repositories aren't even maintained right now, and will conflict with just about any updates that were released later. anyway, try asking in #compiz-fusion as well if you insist (but i mean, if you want something stable, use dapper and don't use compiz, if you don't care about stability, then just use gutsy to begin with) | 02:52 |
| _Photon_ | lol | 02:52 |
| _Photon_ | :P | 02:52 |
| LjL | !enter | 02:52 |
| ubotu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 02:52 |
| infocrash | some times that helps | 02:52 |
| Sir-Integra | then yes, i do, technicallyhesri . | 02:52 |
| dudewithtwoheads | i cant install normal ubuntu, i have only kubuntu | 02:52 |
| _Photon_ | thanks anyway, i wonder when will linux be easy without all this shit | 02:52 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, download the ubuntu cd, and/or the alternate cd | 02:52 |
| logreeval | anyone? | 02:52 |
| MattJ | dudewithtwoheads: it would help a lot if we knew what the error was | 02:52 |
| Varka | dudewithtwoheads, so you finally burned your iso as an image with nero? | 02:53 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, probably it's the alternate cd that will solve your problem. | 02:53 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, the closest is usbhid | 02:53 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Anyone have any idea why I can't select text in some apps (seems to be gtk apps that use gnome libraries)? It's as if mouse button is letting go automatically after a certain time (synaptics touchpad, ubuntu 7.10, gdm and fluxbox)? | 02:53 |
| Mystroth | LjL, LOL, ok i guess ill install another version on a different HD and try it out | 02:53 |
| tatters | kubuntu-desktop can break ubuntu | 02:53 |
| dudewithtwoheads | error was something about wireless.. cant load bcm43xx_micrododec5.fw | 02:53 |
| LjL | tatters: wha? | 02:53 |
| _Photon_ | infocrash: in windows you just download an installer and it does everything for you, without all this shit, automake, autoconf, autoshit lol :P | 02:53 |
| dudewithtwoheads | alternate cd ? hmm i need to download that ? | 02:53 |
| stillWithFiesty | is having java installed in synaptic different from the one firefox requires? | 02:53 |
| jb44 | 02:53 | |
| tatters | specifically actually kubuntu-desktop broke my ubuntu wireless | 02:53 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | dudewithtwoheads: You need to install the firmware. | 02:53 |
| _Photon_ | oh well, i like linux and windows and os x | 02:54 |
| _Photon_ | so... | 02:54 |
| Freaken | what do I need to look for in dmesg? | 02:54 |
| LjL | !language | _Photon_ | 02:54 |
| ubotu | _Photon_: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. | 02:54 |
| _Photon_ | ok | 02:54 |
| _Photon_ | sorry | 02:54 |
| dudewithtwoheads | install firmware ? sorry, im newbie.. | 02:54 |
| mssever | _Photon_: But Linux folds often prefer to have control over what componants they want | 02:54 |
| sFEARs | so i donwloaded ndiswrapper.tar.tar | 02:54 |
| sFEARs | how do i install that? | 02:54 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, i've installed the driver via the GUI version. but on that link you showed me, it says something about /etc/iftab - that doesn't exist. | 02:54 |
| _Photon_ | well, me as an average user | 02:54 |
| Lurker__ | Can anyone help me fix my grub install please? | 02:54 |
| _Photon_ | dont like it | 02:54 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, I would recommend downloading the alternate cd. The text mode install, followed by the desktop install as phase 2, is the best way to deal with your situation. | 02:54 |
| mssever | _Photon_: Besides, if you install build-essential, it gives you all the basics automatically | 02:54 |
| Tarkus | anyone here use glade? im trying to figure out how to test out the application, so it actually makes a new window and launches the app.. any idea? | 02:54 |
| mssever | _Photon_: You mean, you as a new Linux user | 02:55 |
| infocrash | _Photon_ it was not always like that in windows, besides you can compile just fine in linux whitout automake or make, but kdevelop uses configure and automake etc to generate projects | 02:55 |
| l2oi3 | "SIOCADDRT: No such process" when i input "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" | 02:55 |
| _Photon_ | mssever, then why did i have all this problems | 02:55 |
| spriizha | can i use compiz-gnome for ubuntu 7.10 ? | 02:55 |
| LjL | _Photon_: on Ubuntu, you just click on a single icon or alternatively run a single command, and it *really* installs it all for you, rather than going through some "wizard". you DON'T do the automake and autoconf dance unless you want to install stuff that's NOT supposed. you can as well consider such stuff as "non-Ubuntu" programs if you prefer -- like if you were trying to install a Mac program on Windows. | 02:55 |
| tatters | Frsh install ubuntu ipw2400 can connect with wpa2 personal AES,,install kubuntu-desktop and it breaks wireless in kubuntu and ubuntu | 02:55 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, the slosest is usbhid. | 02:55 |
| l2oi3 | "SIOCADDRT: No such process" when i input "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" | 02:55 |
| SpeakerMania | clostest | 02:55 |
| SpeakerMania | closest | 02:55 |
| dudewithtwoheads | i have kubuntu 6.06 LTS version, could i install that version and then update from cd (not dl) to kubuntu 7.10 ? | 02:55 |
| LjL | dudewithtwoheads: no | 02:56 |
| _Photon_ | LjL: i chose to install KDevelop as my IDE, (its suppose to come with everything like DevC++ does in windows) | 02:56 |
| SpeakerMania | dudewithtwoheads, why not upgrade via the upgrade manager? | 02:56 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, I'll plug in a USB stick and tell you the module name that's missing. | 02:56 |
| LjL | dudewithtwoheads: if you have the CD, why don't you just install 7.10? | 02:56 |
| _Photon_ | suppose | 02:56 |
| infocrash | _Photon_ but the kdevelop should have as a dependency the packages it need, so i do understand what you are saying. | 02:56 |
| LjL | _Photon_: and to install it, you had to use autoconf? | 02:56 |
| mssever | _Photon_: It probably had something to do with kdevelop, not Linux itself (many Linux programmers don't even use IDEs) | 02:56 |
| Lurker__ | How do I force grub to redetect my HDDs' geometry? | 02:56 |
| dudewithtwoheads | ljl i have a problem installing it.. wierd | 02:56 |
| _Photon_ | well, i installed it from synaptics software manager or watever | 02:57 |
| l2oi3 | hey i tried what you suggested and got: | 02:57 |
| l2oi3 | "SIOCADDRT: No such process" when i input "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" | 02:57 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, ok, well.. i just successfully searched for networks with wifi-radar, but it says i'm connected to none with the ip address 192.168.0.7 and i can't click disconnect. | 02:57 |
| _Photon_ | mssever, i didnt say linux, | 02:57 |
| infocrash | i know, Anjuta and kdevelop do not pull make, automake, when you download it. | 02:57 |
| technicallyhesri | that's progress? | 02:57 |
| technicallyhesri | i hope | 02:57 |
| mssever | l2oi3: That doesn't necessarily mean anything... Is your static IP working now? | 02:57 |
| _Photon_ | so...is it my fault? | 02:57 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, is there a loaded module name "usb-storage"? | 02:58 |
| _Photon_ | anyways thanks for your help | 02:58 |
| dudewithtwoheads | i think there is | 02:58 |
| MattJ | infocrash, _Photon_ : They are recommended packages | 02:58 |
| l2oi3 | no, i had to switch back to roaming to get back onto irc | 02:58 |
| _fang | hello, how can i start an X app over ssh on the remote computer? i could find information on how to load remote X apps on my computer, via ssh -X -C, but now how to load on the other computer. the situation is that i would like to start the browser on the computer i'm logged into. simply calling the program gives me (obviously) a display not found message | 02:58 |
| MattJ | Not hard dependencies | 02:58 |
| _Photon_ | i like ubuntu, suse, and pclos :D | 02:58 |
| Jolinar | Cap_J_L_Picard: Your note on me needing to set the card as system default helped, got it working now. Thanks alot :) | 02:58 |
| dudewithtwoheads | sethk: i think i saw that modul loaded | 02:58 |
| mssever | l2oi3: What do you mean by "roaming"? | 02:58 |
| Lurker__ | How do I force grub to redetect my HDDs' geometry? Anyone? :) | 02:58 |
| sethk | _Photon_, I like sex, drugs, and rock and roll ... at least I think I would, if I ever find any. :) | 02:58 |
| _Photon_ | ... | 02:58 |
| Sir-Integra | jm | 02:59 |
| Sir-Integra | i suppose. | 02:59 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, check. If it is loaded, then my theory is wrong. | 02:59 |
| _Photon_ | ok bye everyone | 02:59 |
| Cap_J_L_Picard | Jolinar: Good. | 02:59 |
| SpeakerMania | bye | 02:59 |
| infocrash | bye | 02:59 |
| l2oi3 | roaming: not manual configuration, wired network, DHCP I pressume | 02:59 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, use dmesg instead of tail /var/log/messages. See if you see messages from usb-storage, and a reference to a SCSI drive. | 02:59 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, do you possibly have a non-standard kernel configuration? | 02:59 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, do you mean me? | 02:59 |
| mssever | l2oi3: So DHCP works, but static doesn't? | 02:59 |
| Sir-Integra | hmm | 02:59 |
| Sir-Integra | okay | 02:59 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, yes, sorry :) | 02:59 |
| Sir-Integra | that didn't go too well. | 02:59 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, sorry also :) | 03:00 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, it's not allowing me to connect, still. | 03:00 |
| l2oi3 | yes, dhcp works, static wont | 03:00 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, no, actually, I did mean dudewithtwoheads | 03:00 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, i unplugged my ethernet cable and everything died. | 03:00 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, I'm now officially completely confused. | 03:00 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, lol | 03:00 |
| Shpoo1 | Anyone know of a good flash creator for Linux? | 03:00 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, you have the problem with the USB camera, right? | 03:00 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, so it's obviously not allowing me to connect. | 03:00 |
| l2oi3 | dhcp does not work for wireless, but thats another beast, if i can get static working with ethernet i'll be fine | 03:00 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, yes. | 03:00 |
| mssever | OK, try this: Set it to static, restart networking, and then run ifconfig and see if your IP is showing | 03:00 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, then I did mean you, with the suggestion about dmesg | 03:01 |
| dudewithtwoheads | sethk no, everything is standard, i found some forums with people having same problem like mine on this laptop.. they cant fix it i think :S | 03:01 |
| _fang | any tips for me? =] | 03:01 |
| technicallyhesri | i'm looking for an answer, i've done this before a few times... been a while | 03:01 |
| mssever | l2oi3: OK, try this: Set it to static, restart networking, and then run ifconfig and see if your IP is showing | 03:01 |
| l2oi3 | okay | 03:01 |
| l2oi3 | will try | 03:01 |
| Scunizi | What do I type at the terminal to list all my usb devices? I've tried "lsusb -l" with no results. | 03:01 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, yeah, i done it the last time i installed ubuntu, i just really can't remember, it's all foggy. | 03:01 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, same USB messages as before. | 03:02 |
| Sir-Integra | i'm not sure if i blacklisted the driver though, pretty sure i did. | 03:02 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, there isn't a usbstorage or whatever module loaded btw | 03:02 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, using the text mode install is usually the key to this type of situation. The full install works with a much larger range of video hardware. So when the GUI install fails, the text mode install succeeds, and then the more powerful installation/configuration programs for the KDE (or gnome, or whatever) desktop can be used. | 03:02 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, ok, but nothing about /dev/sdg, or /dev/sda, or something similar? | 03:02 |
| technicallyhesri | did you see this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear | 03:02 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, nope | 03:02 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, and your kernel? Is it a stock install kernel? | 03:03 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, yep. | 03:03 |
| dudewithtwoheads | sethk.. so a link how to install it text mode ? or how to do it ? | 03:03 |
| === elkbuntu_ is now known as elkbuntu | ||
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, tried that, didn't work for me. | 03:03 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, you boot the alternate cd, and text mode install is one of the boot menu options. extremely easy, once you download it. | 03:03 |
| technicallyhesri | damn, i don't know what to tell you | 03:04 |
| Sir-Integra | google "broadcom wireless ubuntu" i used the first and second link. | 03:04 |
| sethk | dudewithtwoheads, you'll find instructions at the download site on ubuntu.com | 03:04 |
| dudewithtwoheads | ok, thanks.. i will try it ... | 03:04 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, does the camera, with the same settings, appear as a drive if connected to a windows box (if you know)? | 03:04 |
| chuy_max|laptop | anyone knows if Radeon Mobility M6 video card works with ATI Proprietary Driver?. It doesn't appear in restricted drivers manager, and I want to test it because a video game is blurry. | 03:04 |
| Scunizi | duh.. nevermind.. lsusb without options works.. | 03:05 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, not as a drive, windows is dumb like that. But it does show up, yes. | 03:05 |
| mssever | SpeakerMania: With or without drivers installed? | 03:05 |
| technicallyhesri | i would double-check the blacklisting as i think that's required in your case for the ndiswrapper to take precedence over the default driver | 03:05 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, with and without | 03:05 |
| riotkittie | aw. i broke compiz. :( | 03:06 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, btw ubuntu loads the drivers fine | 03:06 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, no, windows isn't dumb like that at all. If it doesn't show up as a drive in windows, it isn't going to show up as a drive anywhere. | 03:06 |
| CaptainMorgan | great simcard/dig camera recognization... thank you Developers! | 03:06 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, say what? | 03:06 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, there has to be SOME possible way... | 03:06 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, I use a wide variety of cameras. Every one shows up as a drive both in windows and in linux | 03:06 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, what would i add to the blacklist? | 03:06 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | can I use a 56k modem under a VM? | 03:06 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, take the card out of the camera and stick it in a card reader. | 03:06 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, that usually works nicely. | 03:07 |
| mssever | SpeakerMania: Not all cameras present themselves to computers as drives using standard USB methods | 03:07 |
| Sir-Integra | technicallyhesri, saying i'm connected to the wireless network, just no local ip avaliable. which is odd | 03:07 |
| dzer0 | I've got this key that has a keycode but no symbol...how can I make it work? | 03:07 |
| SpeakerMania | sethk, the whole point of this was to skip that step. that would be too easy. ;) I don't have one | 03:07 |
| robi1 | hi | 03:08 |
| kwtm | I downloaded Kubuntu 7.10, the Desktop CD ISO. Is there a reason why the MD5 hash doesn't match what's shown on torrent.ubuntu.com:6969? | 03:08 |
| robi1 | i am running ubuntu from a live cd | 03:08 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, fi the camera doesn't look like a drive, which as mssever said is possible, then you don't have a whole lot of choice. Transfer the files to your windows box and use sftp to transfer them to the linux box. | 03:08 |
| l2oi3 | back, no luck | 03:08 |
| robi1 | have tried to install it, now my system wont boot | 03:08 |
| sethk | kwtm, your download failed | 03:08 |

| l2oi3 | oh okay. | 03:09 |
| kwtm | sethk: That's what I would think. Except I got it through BitTorrent, and the integrity check came out fine. So does that mean there's a failed copy going around on BitTorrent? | 03:09 |
| sethk | SpeakerMania, so do the same thing but in the other direction. | 03:09 |
| mssever | l2oi3: Is 192.168.1.2 the static IP you want? | 03:09 |

| kwtm | sethk: Should I re-download? I'd be rather disappointed if the download on the server was wrong. But I don't know why the BitTorrent image would be wrong. Aaauugh! | 03:10 |
| Lurker__ | hey, is there a simple way to get the UUIDs of my hard drives? | 03:10 |
| Jordan_U | robi1, Can you boot the Ubuntu LiveCD? | 03:10 |
| spastik_ | Is filesharing with windows computers natively supported in the newest release? | 03:11 |
| sethk | kwtm, if I had to bet, i'd say you'll get the same result, because as you said bit torrent does integrity checking | 03:11 |
| mssever | l2oi3: According to what you pasted, Ubuntu is properly configured. Are you sure that your router is configured to accept static IPs? | 03:11 |
| sethk | kwtm, are you looking at the 7.10 desktop cd? I can give you my md5sum | 03:11 |
| l2oi3 | Well they worked in fiesty, they work on my windows boot, and on every other computer on the network | 03:11 |
| PDani | hi | 03:11 |
| mssever | l2oi3: Hmmm | 03:11 |
| PDani | is there a 7.10 desktop dvd edition with more programs? | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | robi1, And do you want a quick solution to get Windows booting again ( but not Ubuntu ) or do you want to go the longer / possibly harder rout and get both working? | 03:12 |
| sethk | kwtm, if it's i386 desktop, then here is what I have: d2334dbba7313e9abc8c7c072d2af09c ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso | 03:12 |
| robi1 | yes, thats how im currently chatting to you, through the ubuntu live cd | 03:12 |
| riotkittie | ok. so i have an ati and compiz was working smashingly, using the opensource ati driver. for some reason or another, i tried installing the restricted driver, which resulted in locking up shortly after boot, before X loaded. i booted into recovery mode, changed xorg.conf to use ati... | 03:12 |
| mssever | l2oi3: So you're connected using DHCP right now? Is that using the same IP? | 03:12 |
| l2oi3 | no, i have dhcp configured to start at 192.168.1.14 to prevent ip conflicts with static ip'd computers | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | riotkittie, Apparently just having fglrx installed b0rks the "ati" drivers | 03:13 |
| robi1 | preferably both, if not possible then just ubuntu, if not possible then ill have to make do with windows | 03:13 |
| spastik_ | I'm not sure if anyone saw my question...but if there's anyone that can help me out trying to connect to a windows share I'd appreciate it | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | riotkittie, Remove the package entirely if you havn't already | 03:13 |
| Guerra | Ubuntu isn't made for modern PCs, it's made for old hardware. Maybe 5 years from now my PC will be suppported. | 03:13 |
| riotkittie | Jordan_U: ahhh thank you. <kisses your feet> | 03:13 |
| r00tintheb0x | I've got a question. | 03:14 |
| Jordan_U | robi1, How many physical drives do you have? | 03:14 |
| PDani | so? | 03:14 |
| PDani | any dvd? | 03:14 |
| robi1 | only one | 03:14 |
| sethk | robi1, probably you need to repeat the grub install to restore the system to a bootable state. It won't pick up your windows partitions automatically that way, however. | 03:14 |
| mssever | l2oi3: Hmm... If ifconfig ssays that you're using the proper IP, I can't imagine why it wouldn't work | 03:14 |
| robi1 | ok, so shall i just run the complete install again? | 03:14 |
| r00tintheb0x | If I have a bunch of snort barnyard syslog files, what sort | uniq -c type of command can i use to group them by IP? | 03:14 |
| sethk | robi1, it's certainly worth a try, if you don't mind doing it. | 03:14 |
| sethk | robi1, if you aren't familiar with grub configuration, it's probably the best move. | 03:15 |
| robi1 | sure, if theres a chance of that working... i just didnt know whether it might be bad to reinstall over the old install | 03:15 |
| l2oi3 | Devices - Networking tools would help | 03:15 |
| robi1 | (am a linux newb) | 03:15 |
| l2oi3 | i can take two screencaps . one on dhcp and one on static if you think it would help | 03:15 |
| mssever | l2oi3: Rebooting shouldn't be necessary, but in the absence of any better ideas, you might try setting ti to static then rebooting | 03:16 |
| sethk | robi1, no, not really. You can tell it to format the partition, and that's identical to a new install | 03:16 |
| robi1 | seth: say again? so should i format the disk or reinstall ubuntu? | 03:16 |
| mssever | l2oi3: screenshots of what? | 03:16 |
| l2oi3 | Devices - Networking Tools | 03:16 |
| shooters | Hi, I can't delete a folder, can anyone help me? | 03:17 |
| robi1 | seth: format the partition, i mean | 03:17 |
| sethk | robi1, reinstall ubuntu. I was just saying, if you are concerned about repeating the install, you can tell it to format the ubuntu partition. | 03:17 |
| mssever | l2oi3: ifconfig, which you pasted, presents the same information | 03:17 |
| sethk | robi1, it isn't actually necessary, however. | 03:17 |
| robi1 | oh, ok... | 03:17 |
| robi1 | cool, ill try that | 03:17 |
| robi1 | thanx SO MUCH for your help!!!! | 03:17 |
| Jordan_U | robi1, Wait | 03:17 |
| l2oi3 | I never gave you the successfully connected DHCP info, would that help? | 03:17 |
| robi1 | k | 03:17 |
| mssever | l2oi3: It might | 03:18 |
| Lurker__ | hey, can anyone help me find the UUID of /dev/sdc? | 03:18 |
| Lurker__ | what would i type in my terminal? :) | 03:18 |
| zetheroo | hey... openoffice is being a real pain in the rear!!! Keeps on crashing | 03:18 |
| Jordan_U | robi1, Be sure to look at the "advanced" button just before it asks you to confirm which partitions it's going to format and check which drive it's writing GRUB ( the bootloader ) to | 03:19 |
| sethk | Lurker__, ls -ld /dev/sdc. however, that likely isn't really what you want, because you probably want the effective UID of the _mount_, not the mount point. They are in general different. | 03:19 |
| Lurker__ | sethk: All I want to do is add it to the /boot/grub/menu.lst | 03:19 |
| robi1 | ok!! | 03:19 |
| robi1 | shall do | 03:19 |
| l2oi3 | mssserver: http://pastebin.ca/764358 | 03:19 |
| mssever | l2oi3: looking... | 03:19 |
| shooters | Hi, I can't delete a folder, can anyone help me? | 03:20 |
| robi1 | cool. see you later and thanx for your help!! | 03:20 |
| zetheroo | its ridiculous... i cannto change any settings in OpenOffice without it crashing | 03:20 |
| Lurker__ | I think I inadvertantly had grub use /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdc. Now I can only boot from my alternate install cd | 03:20 |
| sethk | Lurker__, you want to boot, then, from /dev/sdc? | 03:20 |
| John117 | Does anybody have any idea why my Ubuntu recognizes and burns DVDS but does not recognize blank CD-Rs? | 03:20 |
| zetheroo | was just fine in Feisty | 03:20 |
| Jordan_U | shooters, Does your user own the folder and its contents? | 03:20 |
| riotkittie | ahh. it works. <prances> | 03:20 |
| sethk | Lurker__, that's simple enough, just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change sda to sdc | 03:20 |

| sethk | Lurker__, or didn't I properly understand? | 03:20 |
| shooters | Jordan_U: yes, have a look at https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/17082 and tell me what you think I should do... | 03:21 |
| spastik_ | Can anyone help out with a windows/linux networking issue? | 03:21 |
| Lurker__ | Yes. /dev/sdc is the drive I want to boot from. I looked in the menu.lst and it's using UUIDs instead of /dev/sdc | 03:21 |
| sethk | spastik_, only if you tell us what the issue is. :) | 03:21 |
| dave | "lwm: virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends depends: x-terminal-emulator" ... anyone know how to actually install this package if it depends on something i can't install? | 03:21 |
| |neon| | ne1 has any expirience with lm-sensors it seems that my quad temps are a bit high and i wonder if that is just a lm-sensors thing | 03:21 |
| sethk | Lurker__, oh. Put your menu.lst on the paste web site. Hopefully we can change it back. Also post the contents of /boot/grub/device.map | 03:21 |
| Lurker__ | 1 min | 03:22 |
| spastik_ | sethl, Well my roommate has a folder shared in windows, and I can see his computer in the network browser but it won't show the files | 03:22 |
| zetheroo | anyone have any clue about OpenOffice? | 03:22 |
| mssever | l2oi3: Let's try setting the static IP to 192.168.1.14 (your dynamic IP). I can't imagine why it would make a difference, but I don't have any better ideas. | 03:22 |
| |neon| | zetheroo: openoffice is broke under gutsy | 03:22 |
| l2oi3 | that might actually be worth a try, lets see.... trying | 03:22 |
| Jordan_U | shooters, That is bizzarre | 03:22 |
| |neon| | zetheroo: they are working on a fix | 03:23 |
| spastik_ | sethk: Well my roommate has a folder shared in windows, and I can see his computer in the network browser but it won't show the files | 03:23 |
| John117 | Does anybody have any idea why my Ubuntu recognizes and burns DVDS but does not recognize blank CD-Rs? | 03:23 |
| zetheroo | |neon|: well thats obvious.... but what do we all do till then? | 03:23 |
| |neon| | zetheroo: wait | 03:23 |
| Jordan_U | shooters, Is there anything "special" about /media/special or is it a normal file system ? | 03:23 |
| sethk | spastik_, you probably need to map the UID to one that's valid on your linux box. | 03:23 |
| shooters | Jordan_U: really bizarre... even sudo doesn't work... the folder is on an encfs fs | 03:23 |
| zetheroo | |neon|: oh thats REALLY not good...... | 03:23 |
| |neon| | zetheroo: they say to disable openoffice-gtk i did without luck | 03:23 |
| mike5805 | it could be a cdrw- and not a cdrw+ | 03:23 |

| cyphase | system load* | 03:24 |
| mssever | mike5805: There's only one kind of CD-R | 03:24 |
| shooters | Jordan_U: I filed a bug against encfs for that... is there a way to trim the folder directly from the fs? | 03:24 |
| zetheroo | |neon|: for people who use their machines and Linux for actual work... that is a HUGE blow-it | 03:24 |
| |neon| | zetheroo: i know i really need oo | 03:24 |
| |neon| | zetheroo: i am using kword and kspread on the mean time | 03:24 |
| spastik_ | sethk: is there a guide somewhere I could read to tell me how to do that? I'm very new | 03:24 |
| ivan_ | #compiz-fusion | 03:25 |
| mike5805 | spastik: what are you trying to do | 03:25 |
| zetheroo | |neon|: my problem is just that I cannot change any settings in OO without it craching | 03:25 |
| MattJ | Quickie... how do I delete a line-break in vi? | 03:25 |
| zetheroo | |neon|: other than that it works | 03:25 |

| spastik_ | mike5805: i'm trying to access my roommate's windows share | 03:25 |
| Lurker__ | sethk: http://pastebin.ca/764360 | 03:25 |
| sethk | spastik_, start with "man smbmount" | 03:25 |
| mssever | MattJ: In insert mode, just backapace over it | 03:26 |
| MattJ | mssever: It refuses :/ | 03:26 |
| l2oi3 | msserver: we'll I'm here and I'm on static, I cant imagine any reason why | 03:26 |
| sethk | spastik_, beyond that, the samba web site has more detailed docs. | 03:26 |
| sFEARs | so i have the tar.gz file downloaded.. how do i install that without the build-essentials packages | 03:26 |
| sethk | Lurker__, looking ... | 03:26 |
| sethk | sFEARs, you don't. | 03:26 |
| mssever | l2oi3: weird. | 03:26 |
| sFEARs | ndiswrapper.tar | 03:26 |
| sFEARs | damnit | 03:26 |
| |neon| | zetheroo: mine too, well more than that it just doesn't work it opens bbut thats abbbout it everytime i click on something the screens just blinks black | 03:26 |
| sFEARs | ok | 03:26 |
| mssever | l2oi3: It shouldn't make a difference, but apparently it does | 03:26 |
| sFEARs | how do i install ndiswrapper without being connected to the net | 03:26 |
| spastik_ | sethk: says no manual entry for smbmount | 03:26 |
| l2oi3 | msserver: indeed, and a bit of a pain, seeing as how I have all my port forwarding set up for 192.168.1.2 | 03:27 |
| mssever | l2oi3: You have other static machines which use IPs below 14, right? | 03:27 |
| |neon| | ne1 has any expirience with lm-sensors it seems that my quad temps are a bit high and i wonder if that is just a lm-sensors thing | 03:27 |
| sethk | spastik_, you might need to install samba | 03:27 |
| l2oi3 | yes, 4,5,6 I belive are taken | 03:27 |
| sethk | spastik_, or some parts of samba | 03:27 |
| l2oi3 | but i have 2 as my main and 3 as a backup | 03:27 |
| Sir-Integra | ! | 03:28 |
| Lurker__ | can i just replace the "ROOT==UUID=3c7ac775-d348-....." with "ROOT=(hd2,0)" ? | 03:28 |
| spastik_ | sethk: I've got samba and samba-common installed | 03:28 |
| Sir-Integra | success! | 03:28 |
| ajd17case | I have a computer that was running MySQL that won't boot. I'm running off a live cd, and can get to the file system. I tried tar'ing the mysql directory, moving it to another computer, and untar'ing it, but it's giving me a bunch of errors. How should I be going about recovering the data? | 03:28 |
| mssever | l2oi3: It is a pain, it would be a pain to have to change my server's IP | 03:28 |
| Sir-Integra | wireless working :d | 03:28 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | is compiz/fusion intalled by default in 7.10? | 03:28 |
| sethk | Lurker__, no, that's not the synatax. Hold on a moment, I'm getting in from my menu.lst | 03:28 |
| aeshyamae | hi i was copying a dvd to a file(.iso)..but accedently pressed cancel while it was finishing its work(i.e it was just abt to complete the work)..i have deleted the created iso and tried for another copying..but now it says there is no space left in the hard disk..surprisingly the status bar of nautilus says abt only 6.2mb of free space while there is 6.2gb of free space as i run nautilus as root user..how to cure this? | 03:28 |
| sFEARs | guess i should have been paying attention to Sir-Integra huh? | 03:28 |
| |neon| | spastik_: do you have a firewall like guarddog or firestarter enabled? | 03:28 |
| Sir-Integra | right, my next question is, how do i install beryl? i remember having it last installation. and i forgot what was needed to install it. | 03:28 |
| l2oi3 | indeed, i'm going to toy with some stuff and see what i can do, thanks for your help | 03:28 |
| sethk | Lurker__, you already have "root (hd2,0)" which is correct. On the kernel line, change it to: root=/dev/sdc1 | 03:29 |
| mssever | l2oi3: np | 03:29 |
| sFEARs | sudo apt-install compiz-fuzion | 03:29 |
| spastik_ | |neon|: no, I dont have any firewalls on here or the other machine | 03:29 |
| Lurker__ | K | 03:29 |
| sFEARs | or mabey it's fusion | 03:29 |
| sFEARs | hell i don't know | 03:29 |
| borg5575 | try typing smb://xxxxxx where xxxxxx is your roommate's IP address into your browser's address bar | 03:30 |
| mssever | l2oi3: BTW: I suspect your router. I know you said that it worked before, but still... | 03:30 |
| grooveland3 | I am ubuntu | 03:30 |
| jarsh | I am slackware | 03:30 |
| |neon| | spastik_: i also ran into a problem with dolphin under kubuntu anyway it will see the share but no writting i have to use smb4k or konqueror to browse and write to shares i know it makes no sense but dolphing will just not work , what are u using to browse you shares | 03:30 |
| mssever | I am Scott | 03:30 |
| zetheroo | |neon|: hey ... I just changed my theme back to "Human" and it works now | 03:30 |
| mssever | :) | 03:30 |
| Lurker__ | sethk: I'm going to reboot and see if it works. Hopefully I'll be back shortly | 03:31 |
| jarsh | :) | 03:31 |
| grooveland3 | I have ubuntu disk version 5 can I upgrade from the web | 03:31 |
| sethk | |neon|, I believe he can't read _or_ write at the moment. | 03:31 |
| sethk | Lurker__, one way or the other you'll be back. :) | 03:31 |
| mssever | grooveland3: You mean 5.10? | 03:31 |
| grooveland3 | yeah | 03:31 |
| |neon| | that is one of the fixes they say forgot to mention that i am using kubuntu and tried that with no luck | 03:32 |
| mssever | grooveland3: You can, but you can't skip any versions. You have to go to Dapper, then Edgy, then Feisty, then Gutsy | 03:32 |
| sethk | grooveland3, I would _not_ attempt it, no. The V5 repositories are mostly gone. | 03:32 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | is compiz/beryl installed by default on 7,10? | 03:32 |
| spastik_ | borg5575: the smb in the window worked out...thanks | 03:32 |
| grooveland3 | Is gobuntu working fine these days? | 03:32 |
| Jordan_U | shooters, Doesn't encfs work on individual files on a normal file system? | 03:32 |
| arghh2d2 | I'm trying to tar -czvf a directorie and it tells me: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive, but the directory isnt empty, am i missing something? | 03:32 |
| mssever | grooveland3: Such a drastic upgrade path will likely cause problems | 03:32 |
| Big-E | Would anyone know the reasoning behind when I am starting my upgrades, a window pops up saying the last upgrade was not yet complete - then it asks if I want to do a partial update, or close and then it freezes? | 03:32 |
| borg5575 | ur welcome | 03:32 |
| shooters | Jordan_U: underlying fs is reiserfs | 03:32 |
| momal | Anyone happen to know where I can get the the non-threaded qt libraries? | 03:33 |
| mssever | grooveland3: never heard of gobuntu | 03:33 |
| techjim | anyone have an issue going from feisty to gutsy where wherever the mouse goes, graphics mess up? | 03:33 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, first, no -. it's tolerated, but it's wrong. tar cvzf whatever.tar /path/to/directory | 03:33 |
| Jordan_U | shooters, I think you should be able to just delete the file... without decrypting it with encfs | 03:33 |
| === _yam is now known as yam | ||
| grooveland3 | gobuntu is all free software | 03:33 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, you can use . if it's the current directory | 03:33 |
| shooters | Jordan_U: the problem is all filenames are encrypted, which file should I delete...? | 03:33 |
| l2oi3 | msserver: I'm working with my router as we speak, I use a static on windows every day, but that's wireless, and I cant get my ethernet working in windows for some odd reason. I'm going to update the routers firmware seeing as how its crazy outdated. | 03:33 |
| mssever | grooveland3: Similar to the FSF's version of Ubuntu? | 03:33 |
| grooveland3 | no restrictions on certain applications | 03:33 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, such as tar cvzf ../whatever.tar.gz . | 03:33 |
| grooveland3 | no binary problems | 03:34 |
| Jordan_U | shooters, Can you modify the files, "cat "foo" > file" within encfs? | 03:34 |
| arghh2d2 | sethk, ok, ill give it a try, not sure i understand tho | 03:34 |
| soleblaze | How do you start the network manager applet from a commandline? | 03:35 |
| mssever | l2oi3: OK... On my router, wireless and ethernet are quite separate, so it is likely that your router isn't accepting static IPs below a certain threshhold | 03:35 |
| Gibbs_ | hi i am having trouble with a 093a:2468 Pixart Imaging webcam, been reading forums all night and still cant get it working | 03:35 |
| shooters | Jordan_U: yes, but I'm trying to delete a folder... I think I found of way by using inodes number... they are the same in and out the encfs | 03:35 |
| mssever | soleblaze: nm-applet | 03:35 |
| grooveland3 | can I download ubuntu 7.10 if I have a disk of 5.10? | 03:35 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, it's simply that, for the create (c) operation, you need: tar options tar-file-name files-to-archive | 03:35 |
| soleblaze | thanks | 03:35 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, if "files-to-archive" is a directory, it archives the entire directory (including subdirectories) | 03:35 |
| mssever | grooveland3: You can download it, but you can't upgrade directly... You'd need to do a clean install | 03:36 |
| Jordan_U | shooters, Are there any files within the folder? Isn't that what rm was complaining about? | 03:36 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, so an example of that is: tar cvzf ~/mytarfilename.tar.gz /path/to/some/directory | 03:36 |
| arghh2d2 | sethk, so whats with the cowardly bit? do just need to specify a new name for the archive? | 03:36 |
| grooveland3 | msserver: rite Im downloading it now. | 03:36 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | Gibbs_, Easy-to-install, but works bad | 03:36 |
| shooters | Jordan_U: on the encfs no, on the reiserfs yes... but encfs can't delete the folder because it doesn't see the files within it | 03:36 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, no, the "cowardly" part is because you didn't tell it to archive anything | 03:36 |
| user_ | hi, my cisco vpn client isnt able to ping dns only when i connect thru wireless | 03:36 |
| grooveland3 | should I just download it from my xp or from ubuntu? | 03:37 |
| user_ | works from lan though | 03:37 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, if you did: tar cvzf ~/whatever.tar.gz you get the same message | 03:37 |
| Jordan_U | grooveland3, Doesn't really matter | 03:37 |
| mssever | grooveland3: Doesn't matter | 03:37 |
| grooveland3 | cool | 03:37 |
| === nicholas is now known as theflyingfool | ||
| sethk | arghh2d2, it's simply saying, "archive what?" There is no default of the current directory. You must specify what to archive. If you mean the current directory, you can use . | 03:37 |
| Djpenguin | !Ohmy | Djpenguin | 03:38 |
| shooters | Jordan_U: by using the inodes number, I was able to find the encrypted name of the folder, and then delete it on the reiserfs drive... Thanks | 03:38 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, that's usually what you want, because, if you tell it to tar ".", then you can extract it anywhere. If you tell it to archive, say, /home/joe, then you can only extract to /home/joe. But, if you cd to /home/joe, and tell it to archive ., then you can extract anywhere because it will extract to wherever is the current directory when you run the extract command | 03:39 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, I'm probably making it more complicated than it really is. | 03:39 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, the reason for the message is that you must explicitly give it the name of the directory to archive. | 03:39 |
| grooveland3 | I want recording software for ubuntu does it exist? | 03:39 |
| arghh2d2 | sethk, i'm trying to archive a directory, as in: tar -cvzf linuxdirectory - not as in tar -czvf linuxdirectory.tar.gz .. this is where i'm getting confused | 03:39 |
| mssever | sethk: arghh2d2 One other note: It's best to make all tarballs extract to a single dir | 03:39 |
| arghh2d2 | oooh kay, i got it now sethk | 03:39 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, yes, I know. First, please, drop the -, it's wrong. NOT tar -cvzf, tar cvzf. | 03:40 |
| Gibbs_ | ahhhh..... | 03:40 |
| Jordan_U | grooveland3, Yes, audacity, or for proffesional stuff adaur | 03:40 |
| mssever | grooveland3: audacity might do what you want... | 03:40 |
| arghh2d2 | thanks, i was overthinking what you were trying to tell me | 03:40 |
| Gibbs_ | how do i install | 03:40 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, second, you must specify _both_ the tar file name and the directory name when you use the f option | 03:40 |
| Lurker_ | sethk: apparently I need a bit more than just that. | 03:40 |
| sethk | Lurker_, ok, what happened? | 03:40 |
| mssever | Jordan_U: Do you mean ardour, or is there some other program I have yet to try? | 03:40 |
| ToddEDM | what server are we on ? | 03:40 |
| Jordan_U | grooveland3, Or if you just need to record and nothing more use the app that comes with Ubuntu | 03:40 |
| Jordan_U | mssever, Yea, typo | 03:41 |
| grooveland3 | I want multi track< | 03:41 |
| Lurker_ | Grub Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS | 03:41 |
| lumgwada | is pal the most current command line calendar program? or is there something with better ical support. cheers | 03:41 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, tar means "tape archiver". When you use the f in cvzf, it means, archive to a file, not to tape. Of course tar was written in 1972 and nobody uses tape anymore, but the syntax is the same as it was then. | 03:41 |
| mssever | grooveland3: The Linux recording software available is quite substandard | 03:41 |
| skizo | hey | 03:42 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, so, when you say: tar cvzf you _must_ follow the "f" with the name of a file, which tar will create and use as the archive | 03:42 |
| Jordan_U | mssever, Adour is pretty damn good | 03:42 |
| Gibbs_ | rafaelsoaresbr: ive tried this blog (http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=62) and a french forum but no luck | 03:42 |
| UndertakerX2 | hey sfears | 03:42 |
| mssever | Jordan_U: Hmm... I've never gotten it to work right | 03:42 |
| virnovus | oh crap | 03:42 |
| virnovus | i got disconnected again | 03:42 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, then, _following_ the archive file name, you _must_ tell tar _what_ to archive, which is a directory name, either relative or fully qualified. | 03:42 |
| Jordan_U | mssever, Have you installed the low latency kernel? | 03:42 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, actually, it can be a bunch of file names also, but that's not the typical usage, and you don't care about that at the moment. | 03:43 |
| mssever | Jordan_U: No, I use the stock kernel | 03:43 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, you want it to archive a directory, so you need: tar cvzf tar-file-name directory-path | 03:43 |
| skizo | how can i get flash to work on linux and i use linux on a mac | 03:43 |
| sethk | arghh2d2, is that more clear, or just more confusing? :) | 03:43 |
| Jordan_U | mssever, Adour uses jack, which because it is meant for proffesional use requires low latency | 03:43 |
| mssever | skizo: Install flashplugin-nonfree | 03:43 |
| sethk | Lurker_, is this a very old machine? | 03:44 |
| virnovus | anyone know what might be up? i'm using knetworkmanager in KDE for my wireless network. about every 5 minutes my connection drops, and reverts to "manual mode" which doesn't work at all :-( | 03:44 |
| nn-main | i want to test xchat dcc file transfure anyone willing to recieve a file | 03:44 |
| Lurker_ | sethk: it's about 2 years old | 03:44 |
| mssever | nn-main: hit me | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | mssever, the package is "linux-image-lowlatency" | 03:44 |
| mssever | Jordan_U: Thanks | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | mssever, np | 03:44 |
| sethk | Lurker_, that's not old enough to have the 1024 limit. It's about 10 years too new for the limit | 03:44 |
| Lurker_ | Nforce4 motherboard with an AMDx2 4800 | 03:44 |
| Gibbs_ | anyone know how to install a ID 093a:2468 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Easy Snap Snake Eye WebCam, all the forums say gusty should support out the box but it doesnt :( | 03:44 |
| sethk | Lurker_, so I'd suspect that /dev/sdc may not be correct | 03:44 |
| Lurker_ | well. heres the deal | 03:45 |
| axjv | Can someone help me? Closing tabs in firefox is taking like 1-2 seconds per tab. | 03:45 |
| sethk | Lurker_, can you review for me what drives you have, and how they are connected? | 03:45 |
| mssever | axjv: Is Firefox using a ton of RAM? | 03:45 |
| nn-main | mssever, waiting for you to except transfur | 03:45 |
| Lurker_ | I had Windows installed at one point with a 3 disk raid drive setup using Nvidia's fake software raid. and booting from a PATA drive | 03:45 |
| skizo | msserver i have done that but it still dont work | 03:45 |
| sethk | axjv, has firefox been running for a long time? I've noticed that it has a small but continuous memory leak, and after several hours can bring the machine to its knees | 03:45 |
| Jordan_U | Gibbs_, Does cheeze see it? | 03:45 |
| axjv | mssever: I don't know about the RAM, but I know it uses about 5% CPU | 03:46 |
| Lurker_ | I decided to ditch windows and install Linux. I also purchased a nice new sata drive to use the 4th sata port | 03:46 |
| skizo | and im lost | 03:46 |
| mssever | nn-main: Hmm I'm not being offered a transfer. Do I need to do anything special? | 03:46 |
| axjv | sethk: Yeah, I thought that was windows-only... It's on linux too? | 03:46 |
| nn-main | mssever, if you are using xchat got to window menu -> file transfers | 03:46 |
| bloony | Anyone had problem with firefox freezing? | 03:46 |
| sethk | axjv, it is on my box. :) | 03:46 |
| Gibbs_ | Jordan_U: sorry whats cheeze? | 03:46 |
| skizo | bloony yes i have | 03:46 |
| mssever | nn-main: OK. Don't see any files listed | 03:46 |
| Jimdb | bloony: yes, i have | 03:46 |
| sethk | axjv, use ps with the option that shows you the amount of memory used by each process, and verify it. I could be wrong. | 03:46 |
| axjv | sethk: Does it make a difference if I'm running swiftweasel (optimized build for my architecture)? | 03:46 |
| Jordan_U | axjv, I havn't had memory leak problems since FF2, do you get them in safe mode also? | 03:47 |
| sethk | axjv, I don't have a clue whether that matters, honestly. | 03:47 |
| bloony | Jimdb: skizo: how did you fix it? | 03:47 |
| nn-main | mssever, humm one sec | 03:47 |
| DrJuano | hi, may I ask you something? | 03:47 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | andrew1 you in here? | 03:47 |
| Jimdb | bloony: i let mine sit for some time, then it recovers. i close and reopen. usually takes care of it. | 03:47 |
| mssever | axjv: When Firefox slows own for me, it's almost always memory-related | 03:47 |
| sethk | Lurker_, the fourth port is sdd, not sdc | 03:47 |
| Jordan_U | axjv, test with "firefox --safe-mode" | 03:47 |
| Lurker_ | ANyways. I have a maxtor 80gb sata drive as sata0, and the seagate drives in a fake raid setup as sata1,2, and 3 | 03:47 |
| mssever | !ask | DrJuano | 03:47 |
| ubotu | DrJuano: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 03:47 |
| === nn-main is now known as nn64 | ||
| sethk | Lurker_, so if it's in the fourth port, try (hd3,0) and /dev/sdd1 | 03:47 |
| bloony | Jimdb: but it must be possible to fix it.. | 03:47 |
| DrJuano | I have problems when I try to suspend or hibernate my pc. | 03:48 |
| sethk | Lurker_, sdd is in your device.map, from your paste | 03:48 |
| Jimdb | bloony: i think it is a firefox bug....did you upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10? | 03:48 |
| Lurker_ | at least, that's what the motherboard has them labeled as. I have a strong suspicion the silkscreen information isn't correct though | 03:48 |
| Lurker_ | Nvidia is notorious for that on their motherboards | 03:48 |
| Jordan_U | Gibbs_, It's a little application like photo booth in OSx | 03:48 |
| axjv | Jordan_U: I tried running in safe mode, and it definitely feels a little bit snappier. | 03:48 |
| Lurker_ | sdd also shows up in my dmesg as a seagate drive | 03:48 |
| mssever | nn64: Got two files | 03:49 |
| bloony | Jimdb: yes | 03:49 |
| sethk | Lurker_, in that case, you want (hd0,0) and /dev/sda | 03:49 |
| nn64 | mssever, ah .. i neded to be registerd user | 03:49 |
| sethk | Lurker_, wait | 03:49 |
| mssever | nn64: Oh | 03:49 |
| sethk | Lurker_, dmesg says sdd is the seagate | 03:49 |
| Jordan_U | axjv, Then it's probably one of the extentions you have installed :) | 03:49 |
| Gibbs_ | jordan_U: ahh well camorama doesnt - will try cheeze now | 03:49 |
| Jimdb | bloony: so did I. my other 7.10 box which was installed from scratch does not freeze. | 03:49 |
| sethk | Lurker_, but something else says its the first sda drive? | 03:49 |
| axjv | Jordan_U: Wait, never mind. I just had like 20 windows open. I closed a few of them... Now it's fine | 03:49 |
| nn64 | mssever, massive-midi is 5000 compresed midi tunes! enjoy | 03:49 |
| axjv | Jordan_U: Never mind -_- | 03:49 |
| Lurker_ | sda is also showing up as a seagate. | 03:49 |
| nn64 | mssever, you will need to install timidity | 03:49 |
| mssever | nn64: thx...All legal? | 03:49 |
| mssever | nn64: have timidity already | 03:50 |
| bloony | Jimdb: hum.. ok.. I wasnt able to install with 7.10... I had to use 7.04 and then upgrade.. | 03:50 |
| sethk | Lurker_, oh, ok. does dmesg show you the one that is the one you want? I'm confused, is that the maxtor? | 03:50 |
| sethk | Lurker_, which one has linux on it, and what does dmesg refer to it as? | 03:50 |
| Jimdb | bloony: on the box running 7.10 I had problems. | 03:50 |
| skizo | bloony nope but find ver 2.0.0.8 it dont frezz | 03:50 |
| nn64 | mssever, i think.. there free on other sights which i graved via wget -m and wget -r -np | 03:50 |
| sethk | Lurker_, you can also find the information in /sys, in case dmesg no longer has all the info | 03:50 |
| mssever | nn64: k | 03:50 |
| aeshyamae | hi nautilus shows me 2.2mb free for my home while trying nautilus as root it says 2.2gb!! | 03:51 |
| ebirtaid | sethk: fdisk -l wont work? | 03:51 |
| Jimdb | bloony: on the box with 7.10 i had problems installing as an upgrade. first is borked the whole 7.04 install. made it totally unusable. I then backed up the data and wiped the drive to start again, but had more problems. | 03:51 |
| === leader is now known as icetea | ||
| sethk | ebirtaid, it would, yes, that's another alternative. But fdisk is frequently not in the search path for a normal user, and newbie's don't always find it. | 03:51 |
| Jimdb | bloony: i had problems where it wouldn't boot from the cd. | 03:51 |
| ebirtaid | true | 03:51 |
| John_R | same here, several problems with 7.10 | 03:52 |
| === icetea is now known as ice_tea | ||
| Jimdb | bloony: so i swapped the cd drive out and did the install then put the original drive back. | 03:52 |
| Ashfire908 | aeshyamae, sure you aren't reading it wrong? btw why are you running nautils and did you make sure to use gksudo instead of sudo? | 03:52 |
| Codenut | how do I create a boot disk using roxio ver 5? | 03:52 |

| sethk | John_R, et. al., I firmly believe in being one release behind on production machines. | 03:52 |

| John_R | thats something i lerned from debian a long time ago | 03:53 |
| sethk | John_R, absolutely. | 03:53 |
| John_R | plus you can get manuals for old versions in the bargain bin at books a million | 03:53 |
| Jimdb | a mark instead of a mod? | 03:53 |
| alain | no one? | 03:53 |
| John_R | yeah jimdb | 03:53 |
| Gibbs_ | jordan_u:nope cheese just comes up with a black screen - the LED on the webcam isnt on either | 03:53 |
| John_R | a mark is a major version number | 03:53 |
| Jimdb | what does that mean? | 03:53 |
| sethk | John_R, or on line for free. :) | 03:53 |
| John_R | a mod is a minor version number | 03:53 |
| John_R | mark->7.10<-mod | 03:54 |

| aeshyamae | Ashfire908: all started as i cancelled copying a cd just before its complete....now the nautilus shows things in MB for normal user and prevents me to redo the dvd copying i have done...but i did copy the dvd by calling nautilus as root user!! | 03:54 |

| kaleh | hi all. | 03:55 |
| * chalcedony smiles | 03:55 | |
| Jimdb | out of the blue lurker? | 03:55 |
| sethk | Lurker_, the "first hard disk" is sda. Have we tried (hd0,0) and root=/dev/sda ? | 03:55 |
| chalcedony | hi kaleh | 03:55 |
| kaleh | i am getting window-frames for my gdesklets just like normal windows | 03:55 |
| ToddEDM | Brett are you here??? | 03:55 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | Andrew_1 you here? | 03:55 |
| sethk | kaleh, "normal" ???? :) | 03:56 |
| sethk | kaleh, we don't need no stinkin' normal | 03:56 |
| kaleh | the desklets get a title-bar and borders and all. how do i get rid of them? | 03:56 |
| Jordan_U | Gibbs_, Strange, if it doesn't find a device it should give a test pattern and a warning, so it thinks it is getting video from a camera | 03:56 |
| sethk | kaleh, there's a way, but I don't know it. | 03:56 |
| mssever | kaleh: Which window manager are you using? | 03:57 |
| Ashfire908 | aeshyamae, i don't know what you did but hmm... did you try logging out then back in (fully, not switch user) | 03:57 |
| sethk | kaleh, you can do each one, but that's a PITA | 03:57 |
| Ashfire908 | kaleh, try loggin out then back in | 03:57 |
| kaleh | mssever: it happens with both metacity and compiz | 03:57 |
| chalcedony | i'm wondering what to use, if anything will allow me to make notes on a jpeg (it's a written document i'm scanning with xsane) ? | 03:57 |
| aeshyamae | Ashfire908: ya i just shutdown the system and came back | 03:57 |
| Lurker_ | I can try it. | 03:57 |
| Ashfire908 | aeshyamae, hmm | 03:57 |
| DANONURA | do i have to add an irc client to unbuntu 7.1, anyone know? | 03:58 |
| sethk | Lurker_, you can also modify parameters at the grub prompt without changing menu.lst | 03:58 |
| kaleh | ok, i'll try that | 03:58 |
| Ashfire908 | aeshyamae, is /home on a different partition? | 03:58 |
| sethk | Lurker_, makes it easier to experiment | 03:58 |
| aeshyamae | Ashfire908: nono | 03:58 |
| mssever | kaleh: Odd.. Sounds like gdesklets isn't setting the proper window manager hints, then, but I have no idea how to fix that | 03:58 |
| Jordan_U | chalcedony, In the meta data or the image itself? | 03:58 |
| aeshyamae | Ashfire908: i have only one partition | 03:58 |
| Gibbs_ | jordan_u:ahh ok - well when i plug the cam in the led flicks on and then goes off so im not sure if it is on | 03:58 |
| Ashfire908 | aeshyamae, hm. | 03:58 |
| Lurker_ | k. So what would I type then? | 03:58 |
| sethk | Lurker_, you can edit the commands on the fly. But I think I'd try changing menu.lst first. after all, it doesn't work the way it currently is, so there's nothing to lose by changing it. | 03:58 |
| chalcedony | DANONURA: xchat is nice | 03:59 |
| chalcedony | Jordan_U: i wouldn't know how to make them in the metadata, what does that do and how hard is it? | 03:59 |
| sethk | Lurker_, I don't have it in front of me, but there are prompts. I believe you type e to edit the values | 03:59 |
| Lurker_ | wait | 03:59 |
| hevnsnt | Can anyone assist me? I upgraded to Feisty and my software raid is gone.. strange thing is file system is not | 04:00 |
| chalcedony | Jordan_U: i was trying to think if there is any way to convert the text to text without retyping the whole thing | 04:00 |
| sethk | Lurker_, go ahead and change menu.lst now, anyway. As I said, it doesn't work the way it is, so there's really nothing to lose by changing it. | 04:00 |
| mssever | DANONURA: A nitpick: There's no such thing as Ubuntu 7.1; it's 7.10 (Ubuntu versions are numbered after the year and month of release) | 04:00 |

| Jordan_U | chalcedony, Ahh, I misunderstood, there are OCR tools but all of the ones currently available for Linux suck :( | 04:01 |
| Ashfire908 | aeshyamae, how much free space does the drive have (and not natilus's count, use df, as normal and root if you want | 04:01 |
| l2oi4 | msserver: thanks for your help, its working on the ip i wanted not! (how i have no idea) | 04:01 |
| l2oi4 | oops *not = now | 04:01 |
| dcosson | the window list panel applet will not go to 2 lines unless a panel is 48 pixels or more... does anyone know a way to change that?? | 04:01 |
| mssever | l2oi4: Glad it works now! | 04:01 |
| nn64 | mssever, trying to send you another audio spesial file | 04:01 |
| chalcedony | Jordan_U but even attaching a sticky note type of things would let me tell myself (and others) what i think | 04:01 |
| mssever | nn64: Oops. I declined that file. Can you resend it? | 04:02 |
| Ashfire908 | aeshyamae, put the output into the pastebin | 04:02 |
| bullgard4 | English help wanted. Gnome main menu System > Preferences > (Sound Preferences) contains 3 tabs. What are the English names of these 3 tabs? 'Devices' 'Sounds' and 'System beep' or what? | 04:02 |

| ToddEDM | hey guys is there a way to get on to this IRC channel from a webpage????? please help me | 04:02 |
| mssever | nn64: Thanks | 04:02 |
| Davo_Dinkum | Is the selflinux program available in English? | 04:02 |
| Jordan_U | ToddEDM, I remember back in the day many sites had java applet based IRC chat | 04:03 |
| Ashfire908 | bullgard4, huh? are they not in english? | 04:03 |
| nn64 | mssever, mplay the playlis and wala ! 5000 mp3's direct files form my server ! | 04:03 |
| ToddEDM | Jordan_U: i went onto www.ircatwork.com | 04:03 |
| sFEARs | i've seen irc on web pages but they were all specific channels | 04:03 |
| Ashfire908 | ToddEDM, http://java.freenode.net/ and set the channel as #ubuntu | 04:03 |
| mssever | nn64: I'll take a look | 04:03 |
| chalcedony | Jordan_U: thank you :) where can i go to get help with those? (i'm an adult parent with learning disabilties, my son moved out) | 04:03 |
| nn64 | mssever, I love linux! | 04:03 |
| bullgard4 | Ashfire908: They are not. I have a German version, and they are in German in my Ubuntu. | 04:03 |
| sFEARs | well there you have it | 04:04 |
| Jordan_U | chalcedony, Have you used the "paint" program in windows before? | 04:04 |
| dcosson | the window list panel applet will not go to 2 lines unless a panel is 48 pixels or more... does anyone know a way to change that?? | 04:04 |
| mssever | nn64: Me too | 04:04 |
| f0rtune | where can i get libcrypto.so.0.9.7 for ubuntu? | 04:04 |
| ToddEDM | Ashfire908: that link dont work | 04:04 |
| sethk | chalcedony, in windows, the most recent version of One Note does what you want like a champ. | 04:04 |
| kaleh | it's still the same way :/ | 04:05 |
| chalcedony | Jordan_U: sethk i've only had linux. . but mostly command line i have been using vim | 04:05 |
| sethk | chalcedony, I don't know of a tool in linux, but that doesn't mean that one doesn't exist. | 04:05 |
| Ashfire908 | bullgard4, you could install the english language pack. but here are the english names of the tabs: | 04:05 |
| mssever | dcosson: The minimum height is 24px, I think, so you really couldn't go to two lines until 48px | 04:05 |
| Ashfire908 | bullgard4, devices, sounds, system beep | 04:06 |
| corinth | I seem to have lost all of my options to reboot, the logout button shows all options except for restart, and the login screen doesn't have the option anymore either. Help! | 04:06 |
| dcosson | minheight is 19px. but there's got to be a way to do it. | 04:06 |
| nn64 | mssever, i usually run the play list like this : mplayer -shuffle -playlist 1-all-filebin-oc-live-get-audio-ocremix-playlist.m3u | 04:06 |
| dcosson | that's the downside to gnome, too few options! :-) | 04:06 |
| arod | I am using Amarok and it seems to be conflicting with Java and I have no sound. I get this error: Audio output unavailable; the device is busy. xine parameters... any ideas? | 04:07 |
| mssever | dcosson: yes, that's the downside, but I like Gnome anyway | 04:07 |
| kaleh | but i feel gnome's got a better roadmap than kde | 04:07 |
| Ashfire908 | ToddEDM, odd. let me recheck it | 04:07 |
| f0rtune | or what package should i download to get libcrypto.so.0.9.7? | 04:07 |
| Gibbs_ | join #ubuntu-uk | 04:07 |
| dwf_starband | I have an nvidia card and two monitors in "twinview" isthere a way to start full-screen applications so that they are full screen on one screen? for exapmple openarena opens up on half of one of the monitors | 04:07 |
| chalcedony | ToddEDM: java.freenode.net/ then /j #ubuntu | 04:07 |
| bullgard4 | Ashfire908: Thank you very much. -- Even if I installed the English language pack, would I be able to swich back and forth between German and English identifiers? | 04:07 |
| dcosson | yeah... i'm a kde boy, but kubuntu gutsy has given me problems, and i am not excited about how kde 4 is shaping out, so i decided to migrate to gnome for a while | 04:08 |
| Ashfire908 | chalcedony, he said it doesn't work. | 04:08 |
| sethk | dcosson, stay with KDE 3, give 4 a chance to stabilize | 04:08 |
| chalcedony | Ashfire908: ahh sorry it took me too long | 04:08 |
| dcosson | sethk: it's not just that, kubuntu gutsy has been weirdly buggy for me, things i can't seem to fix, like usb drives aren't automounting for me. | 04:09 |
| chalcedony | sethk: thank you, i definitely need a linux tool for making notes on a jpeg somehow | 04:09 |
| sethk | dwf_starband, you can create a desktop shortcut for it, and specify full screen there. | 04:09 |
| dcosson | something that worked fine in kubuntu feisty, and works fine in ubuntu gutsy. | 04:09 |
| kaleh | dcosson: that said, kde4 is marvellous. i only feel they should think about stuff like integrating the web into the desktop, etc. more | 04:09 |
| sethk | dcosson, I would never install version 7.10 until date 8.1 | 04:09 |
| mssever | dcosson: You might just want to give it time, I was a double-height panel person for a long time, then when I started using Gnome, I decided to try Gnome's default panel layout, and now it's what I prefer | 04:09 |
| dwf_starband | i think it things its openig full screen bt because thereare two monitors it gets confused | 04:10 |
| Gibbs_ | how do you tell if you have installed a driver? i think i have but the device isnt working? | 04:10 |
| dcosson | kaleh: i think it has the potential to be marvellous. it's a month away from scheduled release and it feels all over the place. | 04:10 |
| sethk | Gibbs_, it's possible that the driver is installed as a module, and the module isn't loaded. | 04:10 |
| Tarkus | anyone here use glade? im trying to figure out how to test out the application, so it actually makes a new window and launches the app.. any idea? | 04:10 |
| sethk | Gibbs_, so you have to check both that it's installed, and it's properly started (or started manually with insmod) | 04:11 |
| === nn64 is now known as nncp | ||
| Gibbs_ | dethk: might be - i have had to build a model and install it - how do i start it | 04:11 |
| dcosson | mssever: yeah, i've been using two 24px panels but i find it's not suiting me... but on gnome-panel, going to 48px makes things too out of whack. like notification area items are small while quick launch icons are big. in kde's kicker the notification area icons go to double row at 48px | 04:11 |
| sethk | Gibbs_, with the insmod command. If you don't know the full path to the driver, the modprobe command is much easier. | 04:12 |
| mssever | dcosson: Kicker handles double height better, that's for sure | 04:12 |
| sethk | Gibbs_, et. al., walking the dog, back in about 15 | 04:12 |
| Gibbs_ | sethk, ok cheers | 04:12 |
| vnieto | Hi, I have a big problem with guty | 04:12 |

| alain | Hello. I use wine for an application that doesn't seem to be running properly. Where can i find the log for that application's process?? | 04:13 |
| dcosson | i really do like the way ubuntu gutsy was out of the box though, with compiz, and the restricted codecs thing in totem. feels so much more polished than kubuntu right now. | 04:13 |
| vnieto | SOme helpme? | 04:14 |
| mssever | dcosson: But Gnome will never be as configurable as KDE | 04:14 |
| Jordan_U | vnieto, You upgraded to Gutsy with update-manager? | 04:14 |
| mssever | dcosson: It's nice out of the box, but the default brown has to go. Ubuntu's trademark, I guess | 04:14 |
| vnieto | yes with updet-amanr | 04:14 |
| dcosson | mssever: I know. There are pros and cons to both. When I use KDE there are things about Gnome I miss, and vice-versa | 04:15 |
| Jordan_U | mssever, It is going, unfortunately it's being replaced with orange and black | 04:15 |
| alain | where are the logs for wine's processes' | 04:15 |
| Ashfire908 | ToddEDM, i'm checking what's up with that page, but you could use the ircatwork place until java.freenode.net page is back up | 04:15 |
| vnieto | olso to with live cd My gutsy make same problem | 04:15 |
| jisatsu | orange and black is still better than brown | 04:15 |
| dcosson | mssever: yeah, not a fan of the orange/brown. first thing i did was change everything to clearlooks/blue | 04:15 |
| mssever | Jordan_U: In Hardy? Orance is no better | 04:15 |
| vnieto | Jordan_U:same proble with update, and live cd | 04:16 |
| Jordan_U | vnieto, Is that a yes? | 04:16 |
| bloony | where can I set a shortcut to open the Application menu? | 04:16 |
| corinth | Anyone else had a problem with the restart option disappearing? | 04:16 |
| mssever | I use blue myself, but from a marketing perspective, it's probably a good thing for Ubuntu to use a unique color scheme so that screenshots are instantly recognizable | 04:16 |
| vnieto | yes | 04:16 |
| vnieto | is a yes | 04:17 |
| Jordan_U | corinth, Only back when I was using XGL | 04:17 |

| ToddEDM | Jordan_U: yes i have, but theother problem is, hes 2 hours away | 04:23 |
| Jordan_U | ToddEDM, Also check that you have any firmware you need with System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager | 04:23 |
| Ashfire908 | ToddEDM, wait he has internet...? | 04:24 |
| ToddEDM | Jordan_U: how can i get these drivers? | 04:24 |
| Ashfire908 | ToddEDM, *confused* | 04:24 |
| vnieto | Jordan_U: with old kernel work | 04:24 |
| ToddEDM | he has internet on the windows machine.. but not on his linux laptop | 04:24 |

| alain | other windows emulators different than wine? | 04:25 |
| Jordan_U | ToddEDM, Does he know enough to set up dial up in windows on his own? | 04:25 |
| ToddEDM | Jordan_U: nope | 04:25 |

| SUKER-CN | I can use some software to remote contral my computer installed ubuntu 7 X . through X-win on windows platfrom | 04:25 |
| Ashfire908 | toddedm, like i said, wvdial. unless you can get the network manager to dial right. | 04:25 |
| kelsin | alain: wine is not an emulator. If you want to fully emulate a windows box you can look at vmware (easier) or qemu. | 04:26 |

| alain | thanks | 04:26 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, how do you get drivers with no internet | 04:26 |
| Ashfire908 | ToddEDM, it's on the livecd | 04:26 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: I'm not sure what program you're using, but it appears that it is improperly configured to run setuid or setgid | 04:26 |
| ToddEDM | oh | 04:26 |
| Jordan_U | ToddEDM, Ask in ##windows how to get the information he needs from windows, I'm not sure if you will be able to get the password but ask | 04:26 |
| Ashfire908 | dgl, think so. | 04:26 |
| Herumor | i have a question | 04:26 |
| alain | kelsin: i just have an application that wine doesn't seem to handle, so i need an alternative... any suggestion? | 04:26 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, how do I fix that? | 04:26 |
| Jordan_U | ToddEDM, Standard stuff like the number to call and the password | 04:26 |
| qwerty121 | hi! can someone tell me what's the use of alternate CDs? | 04:27 |
| ToddEDM | he got some info from his ISP that he needed | 04:27 |
| Herumor | somwone know about the program djplay ? | 04:27 |
| scots | : | Anyone had the disappearing taskbar problem with Kubuntu 7.10 or know the fix for it? | 04:27 |
| ToddEDM | Jordan_U: yeah he got that | 04:27 |
| Jordan_U | !alternate | qwerty121 | 04:27 |
| ubotu | qwerty121: 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 | 04:27 |
| Herumor | and how to configure Jackd ? | 04:27 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: What program is this? Pidgin? | 04:27 |
| kelsin | alain: dual booting is your best bet. Nothing else will give you good performance. I would try vmware if you really need it | 04:27 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: Ok, thanks | 04:27 |
| Jordan_U | Herumor, Do you have linux-image-lowlatency installed? | 04:27 |
| alain | allright | 04:27 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, pidgin and gnome itself are both seizing up on startup | 04:27 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: I've already get it | 04:27 |
| Herumor | no | 04:27 |
| SUKER-CN | Can I use some software to remote contral my computer installed ubuntu 7 X | 04:28 |
| Jordan_U | Herumor, jack requires a low latency kernel | 04:28 |
| Dr_willis | SUKER-CN, depends on how you want to controll it. | 04:28 |
| dgl | SUKER-CN: yes, you can | 04:28 |
| Ashfire908 | dgl if you are going to install a server server (aka no gui) you should get the server cd. | 04:28 |
| Jordan_U | SUKER-CN, System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop | 04:28 |
| alain | kelsin: by any means do you happen to know if wine logs the processes and where can i find those logs? | 04:28 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: type which pidgin to get the path, then ls -l /path/to/pidgin and paste here the permissions column (first column) | 04:28 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: I got server cd | 04:28 |
| Jordan_U | SUKER-CN, There are many other ways though, like ssh | 04:28 |
| Ashfire908 | dgl, k | 04:28 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: I got server CD normal and alternate version | 04:28 |
| kelsin | alain: you can run the program with winedb I think, or something like that, I don't remeber off the top of my head, sorry | 04:29 |
| Ashfire908 | dgl, alternate is the alternate desktop. there is no alternate server | 04:29 |

| Ashfire908 | dgl, uh, no. there isn't | 04:29 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: The error you pastebin'd, was that for pidgin? | 04:29 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, no that was in .xsession-errors | 04:30 |
| alain | kelsin: yep, with winedbg. the syntax is winedbg --file "path" ยฟ? cause i did that, and looks like a bunch of weard characters (like editing an .exe file with notepad) | 04:30 |
| SUKER-CN | Dr_willis:i wanna contrl it fully ,just like windows virtual terminal, can i do it ? | 04:30 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Oh... | 04:30 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: sorry, u r right | 04:30 |
| Cpudan80 | Does anyone here have experience with installing Ubuntu on Thinkpad T42 ? | 04:30 |
| Cpudan80 | Or any thinkpad really I guess | 04:30 |
| Dr_willis | SUKER-CN, no idea what windows virtual terminal does. but with the VNC server and tools you can remotely controll a desktop. Either a Hidden desktop, or the current one. | 04:30 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, I don't like the sound of that "Oh..." | 04:30 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: but, wasn't there on early versions? | 04:31 |
| Gibbs_ | i miss sethk | 04:31 |
| Ashfire908 | dgl: it's ok. i had to convice people they didn't need to compile the drivers for the sound. | 04:31 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: So, what needs to happen is we need to figure out which program is causing that error, because gnome is really a collection of programs | 04:31 |
| kelsin | alain: don't know what to tell you, other then look up the program at winehq.com | 04:31 |
| ToddEDM | hey guys hes gonna come in here , could you please be patient with him ? | 04:31 |
| Ashfire908 | dgl, i don't know, i came into ubuntu at 6.10 | 04:31 |
| vnieto | ) Jordan_U: thaks, but i wait for carect bug on mi sistem | 04:31 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: That Oh was because I thought it was pidgin output, but the ls wasn't what I expected | 04:31 |
| Jordan_U | ToddEDM, Tell him when he boots Ubuntu to go to System -> Administration -> Network then in the window that comes up select "Modem connection" then hit properties on the right, in the properties window check "enable this connection" and put the information in the feilds given (Phone number , dial prefix ( I don't know what this is, it may not be required try just leaving it blank unless you know what it should be ) username | 04:31 |
| Jordan_U | and password ) | 04:31 |
| alain | kelsin allright thanks for your help, found a manual in http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Debugging_Wine if it does any help for the future | 04:32 |
| Ashfire908 | ToddEDM, OMG no we will torment him :P | 04:32 |

| ToddEDM | Ashfire908: HAHA | 04:32 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: I'm a little confused, do I have to use server or alternate cd? | 04:32 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, that doesn't always work. *points at his computers* | 04:32 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Dunno. But apparently some permissions got changed somehow | 04:32 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, what permissions should i be seeing?? | 04:33 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Are you on the computer that's having problems right now? | 04:33 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, yes | 04:33 |
| Ashfire908 | dgl, if you want a "server" install (more server stuff options, no gui) use the server disk | 04:33 |
| Jordan_U | Ashfire908, Without being able to interact during the process I can't think of any better advice | 04:33 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: Ok, but I need a server with soft raid | 04:33 |
| Ashfire908 | dgl, the alt is just a text install for the desktop | 04:33 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: you shouldn't be seeing setuid or setgid permissions | 04:33 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: ok | 04:33 |
| Ashfire908 | dgl, the text installer on both the server and alt have it | 04:33 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, and what would that look like on the first ls -l column? I'm going to grep for it | 04:34 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Are you in KDE now? Something else? | 04:34 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: thanks Ash | 04:34 |
| TuxOtaku | yeah I'm in KDE | 04:34 |
| Jordan_U | Ashfire908, Just to hope that works and if not go from there... and going from there will probably be less than trivial with the lag of having to reboot for new input from us | 04:34 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: bye | 04:34 |
| Ashfire908 | dgl, oh, before, instead of intsalling a command line desktop you used the server install with nothing. | 04:34 |
| Ashfire908 | dgl, bye | 04:34 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: I don't remember. It will be in the first column... S maybe? man ls will probably tell you | 04:34 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, ok. | 04:35 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Remember, also, that some programs have to be setuid to work | 04:35 |
| dgl | Ashfire908: I just need a server with raid, and I was a bit confused about what CD I have to use | 04:35 |

| sethk | hypa7ia, take the bootable cd out of the drive, perhaps? | 04:36 |
| hypa7ia | thought of that one sethk :) | 04:37 |
| hypa7ia | that was my first thought actually | 04:37 |
| Jordan_U | Ashfire908, Reading the man page I would /hope/ that System -> Administration -> Networking would do what wvdial does | 04:37 |
| Gibbs_ | sethK: Gspca mod is running and modprobe doesnt return anything - but still cant see anything and led on cam isnt on | 04:37 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, a "smart" dialer. pppd requires a script. the normal dialup doesn't support (without scripts and stuff) USB modems, which i have to use (FREE INTERNET!!!...on nights and weekends. x2 dialup. cell phone) | 04:37 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, to doesn't. | 04:37 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, *it doesn't. | 04:38 |
| hypa7ia | the only other difference is that my partitions are as follows: / 25gb of ext3, swap 4gb, /home the rest (~450gb ext3) | 04:38 |
| sethk | Gibbs_, if the module is already running, you wouldn't expect modprobe to say anything. | 04:38 |
| sethk | Gibbs_, does dmesg show anything interesting? | 04:38 |
| Jordan_U | Ashfire908, But it should work for a landline connection, or not? | 04:38 |
| alain | kelsin: i'm doing a debug. do you understand what are the "trace" messages? | 04:39 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, for a standard dialup, it should. | 04:39 |
| sethk | Gibbs_, you might want to turn the cam off and back on to make sure the end of the dmesg output is about the cam | 04:39 |
| kelsin | alain: I know nothing about debuging wine processes | 04:39 |
| ToddEDM | Jordan_U: im on the phone with him right now | 04:39 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, ok, I'm at a loss as to how or where to find the program at fault here | 04:39 |
| Ashfire908 | Jordan_U, wvdial needs "sudo wvdial (different configs)" to be run and kept open in a terminal. | 04:40 |

| Mike1 | haha | 04:50 |
| dane | after the boot screen nothin happens | 04:50 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: OK, not surprising. Did it say anything to suggest which program might be the culprit? | 04:50 |
| larson | no dialtones | 04:51 |
| dane | Ubuntu 7.10 | 04:51 |
| viktor | gksu | 04:51 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, one sec, i'll check | 04:51 |

| Mike1 | like no video output | 04:51 |
| dane | yeah no video | 04:51 |
| dane | X server wont start | 04:51 |
| Jordan_U | larson, Do you see anything selected by default in the "Modem Port" section above volume? | 04:51 |
| Mike1 | ok... do you have a pci video and onboard video | 04:51 |
| Mike1 | can you boot into a "safe mood" | 04:51 |
| mssever | viktor: Try sudo less /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:51 |
| Mike1 | when it starts up | 04:51 |
| nncp | mssever, another file for you | 04:52 |
| joshua__ | how do i use my visual effects (3d desktop) | 04:52 |
| larson | Jordan_U there is no dialtones | 04:52 |
| dane | yes | 04:52 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, no messages, no nothing. | 04:52 |
| Mike1 | ok dan go ahead and boot into that | 04:52 |
| dane | but as soon as the boot screen loads nothing | 04:52 |
| jewbilee | joshua_: System -> Preference -> Apperance -> Visual Effects | 04:52 |
| viktor | mope that didnt work either | 04:52 |
| joshua__ | its on extra | 04:52 |
| Mike1 | even in safe mood? | 04:52 |
| joshua__ | now what | 04:52 |
| dane | in safe mode i only get the console | 04:53 |
| joshua__ | i mean what exactly do i press | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | dane, Have you tried booting into recovery mode? | 04:53 |
| Mike1 | well console is ok | 04:53 |
| Ludwig7666 | does anyone know what linuxscript on the vent site downloads? is it the full vent client program? and how well does it work? | 04:53 |
| nncp | mssever, the file is not in eather colection and i like the song you mat like it also | 04:53 |
| Mike1 | i dont know much about using terminal but... | 04:53 |
| dane | JOrdon: i have tried that | 04:53 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: OK, not too surprising. Now, try starting just some individual parts, such as gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-panel, etc. (By the way, you might want to log out and back in before trying this) | 04:53 |
| jewbilee | joshua_: theres many different settings with many different hot keys | 04:53 |
| joshua__ | one more question , how do i get BERYL | 04:53 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, ok, just a sec then | 04:53 |
| Mike1 | if you go to the ubuntu forums and search for "xorg" or "x wont start" you will get a ton of stuff | 04:54 |
| norty | Can someone help me, I don't want me windows to "snap" or "get stuck" on the toolbars, how do I disable this? | 04:54 |
| Mike1 | and maybe someone here can help | 04:54 |
| Jordan_U | joshua__, It's installed by default, or rather Compiz Fusion is and that has replaced the Beryl project | 04:54 |
| dane | well the ting is i'm not getting any error messages | 04:54 |
| viktor | how do u tottaly remove linux from a partition | 04:54 |
| joshua__ | how do i use it? | 04:54 |
| Jordan_U | norty, Are you using compiz? | 04:54 |
| ToddEDM | viktor: format | 04:54 |
| dane | x server wont start at all | 04:54 |
| mssever | viktor: reformat the partition | 04:55 |
| Mike1 | norty: if you go to add remove programs you can install a more advance compiz fusion settings, that might let you chage it | 04:55 |
| joshua__ | http://youtube.com/watch?v=gpOz8duTh-4 <-- something like that | 04:55 |
| arang2 | hello guys, i come here looking for wisdom hoping that u all knowledgable guys enlighten me with some | 04:55 |
| viktor | how to format while using it impossible | 04:55 |
| dane | what could anjuta possibly took off | 04:55 |
| Mike1 | ok dane, i dont know much about but since you are still in the console you can save your self | 04:55 |
| mssever | viktor: Do it from a live CD | 04:55 |
| viktor | ithanks | 04:55 |
| Mike1 | you often will not get error messages | 04:55 |
| jewbilee | dane: how did you remove it/ | 04:55 |
| khirr | what is the next resolution after 1280x1024? | 04:55 |
| cube | what app is there for gnu linux to make a video to play on PSP | 04:56 |
| norty | Jordan_U, I'm not sure, I just installed the newest version of Ubuntu, does it use compiz by default? | 04:56 |
| viktor | and what when formatting is finished just tunr pc off | 04:56 |
| Mike1 | depends widescreen or not | 04:56 |
| Jordan_U | joshua__, Once you have the restricted drivers enabled and the package xserver-xgl installed it you can controll it in System -> Preferences -> Appearance | 04:56 |
| ToddEDM | yes norty | 04:56 |
| cube | ubuntumediaguide.org for compiz | 04:56 |
| dane | i use add/remove programs | 04:56 |
| Mike1 | im assuming not widescreen | 04:56 |
| Jordan_U | norty, Yes, and enabled if possible | 04:56 |
| mssever | viktor: Yeah, just use the shutdown command | 04:56 |
| Dr_willis | cube, that avidmix (avidmux?) can do it. | 04:56 |
| Dr_willis | !find avid | 04:56 |
| ubotu | Found: avida-base, avida-qt-viewer, avida-viewer, sword-comm-tdavid, avidemux | 04:56 |
| joshua__ | how do i get xserver-xgl | 04:56 |
| joshua__ | ? | 04:56 |
| viktor | ill just press the reset button | 04:56 |
| viktor | lol | 04:56 |
| Dr_willis | cube, avidEmux :) | 04:56 |
| dane | and after that the computer freeze | 04:56 |
| arang2 | so guys, i just bought a mobo and put an athlon 64x2 5600 on it and 4gb of DDR2 ram and installed ubuntu and all fine and dandy but i can only use 3.3gb of RAM what do i do to access the full 4gb under gutsy 32bits i read on the forums but at the end i dont know whats the truth | 04:56 |
| Jordan_U | joshua__, Do you know how to use synaptic? | 04:56 |
| cube | ty | 04:56 |
| Gibbs_ | sethl: are you still there and do u have any more ideas? | 04:57 |
| joshua__ | nope | 04:57 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, I just discovered something curious.... | 04:57 |
| Gibbs_ | *sethk: evern | 04:57 |
| Jordan_U | joshua__, Or apt-get ? | 04:57 |
| joshua__ | nope | 04:57 |
| joshua__ | im new to linux | 04:57 |
| Caplain | how do i play midi files? | 04:57 |
| khirr | what is the next resolution after 1280x1024? | 04:57 |
| dane | well at least i can save my files :( | 04:57 |
| joshua__ | 2 days of linux training | 04:57 |
| mssever | Caplain: Install timidity | 04:57 |
| infidel | has anyone here installed looking glass? | 04:57 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, when I run gnome components as root, things start fine...otherwise, nothing. | 04:57 |
| Wisteso | 1600x1200 | 04:57 |
| kahrytan | joshua__, You should watch the videos on screencast.ubuntu.com then | 04:57 |
| ToddEDM | infidel: what is looking glass? | 04:57 |
| Wisteso | as far as standard resolutions | 04:58 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Right, that's because of the setuid thing | 04:58 |
| joshua__ | ok | 04:58 |
| joshua__ | thank you | 04:58 |
| infidel | ToddEDM: sun microsystems 3d desktop | 04:58 |
| joshua__ | "Firefox can't find the server at screencast.ubuntu.com." | 04:58 |
| ToddEDM | infidel: ok | 04:58 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, also, I get no error message when I run them normally | 04:58 |
| bullgard4 | English help wanted. Gnome main menu System > Preferences > (Sound Preferences) > Devices will show in bold 4 menu items. What are the English names of them? 'Sound events', 'Music and movies', 'Audio Conference' and 'Default mixer trace' or what? | 04:58 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: setuid basically means "run with another user's (usually root) priviledges" | 04:58 |
| kahrytan | Jordan_U, He doesnt need xgl-server | 04:58 |
| Flannel | joshua__: its screencasts: http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/ | 04:59 |
| Jordan_U | joshua__, For intstalling GUI apps go to Applications -> Add / Remove, for everything else go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic package manager | 04:59 |
| kahrytan | or screencasts ? | 04:59 |
| shnastybiznastic | if my attempt to unmount a samba share is met with "device currently in use", and I have killed any applications using the device, how do I get around that? | 04:59 |
| kahrytan | joshua__, screencasts. | 04:59 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, so setuid should be set as active here?? | 04:59 |
| jewbilee | Does anyone know how customize emacs colors? | 04:59 |
| Jordan_U | kahrytan, He is using fglrx | 04:59 |
| joshua__ | there we go. thanks | 04:59 |
| Ludwig7666 | did anyone here use linuxscript from the vent site? just wondering how well does it work | 04:59 |
| ToddEDM | shnastybiznastic: rebot | 04:59 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: You mean that you can start gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-panel, etc. normally now? | 04:59 |
| * Gibbs_ slits his wrists | 04:59 | |
| joshua__ | ok thanks | 04:59 |
| Ludwig7666 | ventriloscript. my bad | 04:59 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, no, only as root will they work | 04:59 |
| Jordan_U | kahrytan, the package for xgl is "xserver-xgl" | 04:59 |
| kahrytan | Jordan_U, oh. I didnt need it | 04:59 |
| dcosson | does anyone know a way to except ONLY gnome-panel from compiz's shadows? | 05:00 |
| shnastybiznastic | ToddEDM, while that works, I was looking for a more elegant solution | 05:00 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: No, Gtk doesn't like setuid. but when running as root, setuid doesn't come into play; that's why it works | 05:00 |
| mycroftiv | bullgard4: all those are correct but the last is "default mixer tracks" not 'trace' as the last word | 05:00 |
| Jordan_U | kahrytan, Yea, only people with newer ATI cards need it | 05:00 |
| kahrytan | Jordan_U, Nivida :-P | 05:00 |
| GonTosh | sup guys, just wondering if there are any news leecher program for ubuntu | 05:00 |
| shnastybiznastic | ToddEDM, not that killing smbmntd is very pretty, but you get the picture | 05:00 |
| bullgard4 | mycroftiv: Thank you very much. | 05:00 |
| ToddEDM | elegant.... hmmm | 05:00 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, ok....gnome-settings-daemon works fine | 05:00 |
| Dr_willis | GonTosh, News leacher? You mean a binary news group downloader? | 05:00 |
| GonTosh | yea | 05:00 |
| dcosson | mssever: btw, i think i've finally found a gnome-panel solution i can live with: two 24px panels double-stacked at the top of the screen :-) | 05:00 |
| ToddEDM | put some lingere on it ! | 05:00 |
| ToddEDM | err a nice dress | 05:01 |
| miguelito | hi everyone, I'm having a problem mounting devices after Gutsy upgrade | 05:01 |
| mssever | dcosson: OK, that works | 05:01 |
| shnastybiznastic | ToddEDM, alreasy tried it, it's hard to make these beige boxes appealing | 05:01 |
| miguelito | I get this when I try to mount: "mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /home/miguelito/stuff busy" | 05:01 |
| ToddEDM | lol | 05:01 |
| kahrytan | Jordan_U, I found compiz tray icon in gutsy. | 05:01 |
| miguelito | but it isn't mounted and I don't know what could be using it | 05:01 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: What about gnome-panel, or pidgin from the current environment? | 05:01 |
| cube | gontosh: maybe you could check out some rss feeds for firefox? | 05:01 |
| cube | or use igoogle | 05:01 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, gnome-panel doesn't work | 05:01 |
| ToddEDM | i got my laptop fitted with a pink thing! | 05:01 |
| infidel | !apt | 05:02 |
| ubotu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 05:02 |
| ToddEDM | DOH THONG! | 05:02 |
| Gibbs_ | miguelito:have you tried the qwegh command? | 05:02 |
| dcosson | does anyone know a way to except ONLY gnome-panel from compiz's shadows? | 05:02 |
| larson | Jordan_U no i don't there is nothing there | 05:02 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Then gnome-panel might be the problem | 05:02 |
| GonTosh | lol cube | 05:02 |
| Jordan_U | dcosson, It's in ccsm | 05:02 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, nor does pidgin | 05:02 |
| miguelito | Gibbs_: the only thing I've tried is rebooting under an older kernel -- that works | 05:02 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Check whether gnome-panel is setuid | 05:02 |
| shnastybiznastic | ToddEDM, doesn't that obscure the screen? | 05:02 |
| GonTosh | i'm talking about newsgroup binaries | 05:02 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, pidgin starts, but freezes | 05:02 |
| kahrytan | Jordan_U, I didntknowI can turn off panel shadows | 05:03 |
| Gibbs_ | that i'll be a problem with the new kernel then... cant be solved... | 05:03 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 510188 2007-10-09 10:12 /usr/bin/gnome-panel | 05:03 |
| shnastybiznastic | I guess the main reason I'm looking for a response other than "reboot it" is that I used to be able to deal with this in slackware with a 'kill 9 <PID of smbmntd>' | 05:03 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: not setuid... | 05:03 |
| shnastybiznastic | but smbmntd doesn't seem to be responding to kill 9 | 05:03 |
| miguelito | guess I'll keep with the old one for now, thanks | 05:03 |
| Jordan_U | larson, Hmm, I have never done this before so I am just guessing now, try selecting "/dev/modem" from the drop down list | 05:03 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, looks that way | 05:04 |
| sethk | miguelito, the mount command (with no arguments) doesn't show the device at all? | 05:04 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, should I setuid it? | 05:04 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Do you get the same error printed when you try starting gnome-panel | 05:04 |
| ToddEDM | shnastybiznastic: a little, but you just push them to the side ;) | 05:04 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: No | 05:04 |
| khirr | please, help, what is the next resolution after 1280x1024? | 05:04 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, i get no error at all | 05:04 |
| Gibbs_ | miguelito:have you thought about windows? | 05:04 |
| Cyber_Stalker | is apache ant available in the repo's? | 05:04 |
| larson | ok i have that set at that though | 05:04 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: It refuses to start without giving an error? | 05:04 |
| TuxOtaku | yep | 05:04 |
| tony_ | Hey guys, I have a network security question | 05:04 |
| kahrytan | !lamp | Cyber_Stalker, | 05:04 |

| dcosson | is it compiz or compiz-fusion that is installed by default in gutsy? | 05:06 |
| kahrytan | !lamp > Cyber_Stalker | 05:06 |
| sethk | Gibbs_, I think you meant exclamation | 05:06 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, nothing still | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | dcosson, Yes | 05:06 |
| kahrytan | Cyber_Stalker, read the wiki. | 05:06 |
| tony_ | its only been online for about 5 days, and there has already been about.. 1000 failed attempts to log into the server with incorrect user names | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | :) | 05:06 |
| ToddEDM | exclamation | 05:06 |
| Cyber_Stalker | kahrytan: | 05:06 |
| Cyber_Stalker | !info ant | 05:06 |
| ubotu | ant: Java based build tool like make. In component main, is optional. Version 1.7.0-3 (gutsy), package size 1251 kB, installed size 1460 kB | 05:06 |
| Gibbs_ | sethk:yes i did.... :P | 05:06 |
| Cyber_Stalker | ... | 05:06 |
| barleyman | yes, this will happen immediately | 05:06 |
| ToddEDM | !inx | 05:06 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about inx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | dcosson, Compiz is still called compiz, compiz fusion is the collection of extra plugins | 05:06 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Did it print a number? It should have printed the exit status of gnome-panel | 05:06 |
| sethk | tony_, I get that also, in spurts, quiet for a few days, then a few thousand attempts. | 05:06 |
| neil_d | tony_, be careful about your user passwords, if its connected to the internet. | 05:06 |
| dcosson | ah. | 05:06 |
| kelsin | tony_: you can turn off password authentication and use an ssh key to log in remotely, and you can switch ssh to another port | 05:06 |
| barleyman | tony_ brute force ssh attacks | 05:06 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, nothing at all | 05:07 |
| Jordan_U | dcosson, Gutsy comes with compiz-fusion installed by default | 05:07 |
| barleyman | exactly what kelsin said | 05:07 |
| Gibbs_ | !internet | 05:07 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about internet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:07 |
| kelsin | tony_: (switching the port won't stop anyone smart, but can help) | 05:07 |
| mycroftiv | tony_: yup there are 50 million bots doing nmap scans and then trying login scripts I think, shows you the importance of proper security | 05:07 |
| kahrytan | Cyber_Stalker, You should use ubotu more | 05:07 |
| sethk | tony_, I use passwords generated by a program. They are truly difficult to type, but invulnerable to a dictionary attack. | 05:07 |
| ToddEDM | ! homoerotic fantasies | 05:07 |
| barleyman | just switching to a different port will stop most | 05:07 |
| Jordan_U | ToddEDM, Please stop | 05:07 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Hmm. I can't imagine why it wouldn't.... Let's try an experiment | 05:07 |
| Cyber_Stalker | !info ant > kahrytan | 05:07 |
| shnastybiznastic | Jordan_U, you mean smbmntd? | 05:07 |
| tony_ | Ok, all my passwords are at least a combination of words and numbers | 05:07 |
| Gibbs_ | !toodedm in homoerotic fantasies | 05:07 |
| tony_math | No sound in Xubuntu, PowerMac g4... anyone having this problem? | 05:07 |
| Jordan_U | shnastybiznastic, Yes | 05:08 |
| chuy_max | what's the "correct" way to add users in my system, I added an user with adduser, but sound doesn't work for the new user. | 05:08 |
| barleyman | it is security through obscurity but still you will see a very significant drop in ssh brute force attacks | 05:08 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: sudo chown youruser:youruser /usr/bin/gnome-panel | 05:08 |
| kahrytan | Cyber_Stalker, stop. | 05:08 |
| shnastybiznastic | Jordan_U, it's zombified | 05:08 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, ok, sec | 05:08 |
| sethk | tony_, look through them, if any look too easy, then change them. I've never had a successful dictionary attack, but it certainly does happen. | 05:08 |
| larson | Jordan_U i have the modem st at dev/modem allreasy | 05:08 |
| chuy_max | I would like new users to be the same as the first user (except perhaps sudo capabilities) | 05:08 |
| tony_ | Ok, thanks guys | 05:08 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: then see if that works (be sure to chown back to root:root at the end of the experiment) | 05:09 |
| Gibbs_ | !sudo get working webcam | 05:09 |
| barleyman | tony_ no problem | 05:09 |
| Cyber_Stalker | kahrytan: you showed me to the incorrect thing twice... just making sure that you see ant is a java based building tool and that lamp is for use with web servers there is a difference | 05:09 |
| kelsin | tony_: and the only way to avoid a lucky hit with username / password is to start using ssh keys, it's a safe practive anyway :) | 05:09 |
| sethk | chuy_max, there are configuration files that control the default options for new users | 05:09 |
| kahrytan | Cyber_Stalker, if ubotu shows info, then it is in repos | 05:09 |
| Jordan_U | chuy_max, You need to add them to the "audio" group, the normall way to add desktop users is with System -> Administration -> Users and groups because it makes them part of the important groups by default | 05:09 |
| ToddEDM | alright... | 05:09 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, still nothing | 05:10 |
| tony_ | I have used this command....."awk '/Invalid usr/ {print $8}' /var/log/auth.log{,.0} | sort | uniq -c | 05:10 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, could this be a problem with a conf file or rc file?? | 05:10 |
| tony_ | Are there any other important log files I should be checking | 05:10 |
| Jordan_U | larson, Try opening System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager. Does it say that you need any drivers? | 05:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | chuy_max: After you create the new user, you'll need to add them to groups. Be sure they're a member of the sound group at the very least. | 05:10 |
| chuy_max | Jordan_U, Gutsy lacks Users menu under Administration. :S (fresh install) | 05:10 |
| mssever | It still doesn't work? OK, change the owner back to root:root | 05:10 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, already done | 05:10 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: That's possible | 05:10 |
| UndertakerX2 | I just got a read buffer full error. How can I fix this? | 05:10 |
| arghh2d2 | feisty rules | 05:11 |
| neil_d | tony_, it you must use passwords (not recommended) see https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm | 05:11 |
| chuy_max | ugh | 05:11 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: also, look in /var/crash and see if there's a coredump file there | 05:11 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, if i were to just mv .gtkrc out of my homedir, would that do something?? | 05:11 |
| chuy_max | sorry, I missed it Jordan_U | 05:11 |
| chuy_max | thanks for the info | 05:11 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Worth a try | 05:11 |
| Jordan_U | chuy_max, np | 05:11 |

| cube | Option "SLi" "yes" will i have to add that to my xorg.conf for SLI to work or is it not needed? | 05:11 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, i think I may have found a log in /var/crash.....it's for bonobo | 05:11 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: a more thourough test would be to create a new user and try logging in as that user | 05:12 |
| bullgard4 | jeward: Try man dircolors | 05:12 |

| mssever | mssever: Oh, That might do it | 05:12 |
| tony_ | Ok guys, and the 2nd question, and probably the more futile, is that I am able to see the ip address where all of these failed attemps come from, is there anything I can do for revenge! | 05:12 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sli - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:12 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Check bonobo's permissions | 05:12 |
| larson | Jordan_U i don't have any drivers that i need | 05:12 |
| kelsin | tony_: block the ip if they are all coming from the same spot, either in ssh, or in your firewall (better bet) | 05:12 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: On second thought, read the first bit of the crash file. It might tell you what the problem is | 05:12 |

| kelsin | KNY: don't know, but you can create a .ssh/config file to set a username for each host so you don' thave to type it at all | 05:13 |

| kelsin | KNY: you can set up lots of options on a per host basis, and shorten names (sort of like a ssh smart alias) it's worth doing if you ssh around a lot | 05:14 |

| fujin | increase read buffer | 05:15 |
| UndertakerX2 | how do i do that? :p | 05:15 |
| _dac_ | 3 slots | 05:16 |
| fujin | that depends on what kind of read buffer it is | 05:16 |
| Gibbs_ | f0rtune:i dont actually know - i jsut enjoy lying to ppl | 05:16 |
| LaserLine | How do I change the notification window theme? Ones like '1 new email' or 'now playing this song' etc? | 05:16 |

| TuxOtaku | mssever, how do I create a new user in a terminal...having a bit of a brain fart here | 05:16 |
| sethk | _dac_, ok, then you can add another 256 certainly. To go above that you have to replace the 256's that you have with bigger ones. | 05:16 |

| mssever | TuxOtaku: adduser or useradd...don't remember which is best | 05:16 |
| barata | does that thing sync with gtkpod or not? | 05:16 |

| Jordan_U | sethk, He seems to be running the server kernel for some reason though | 05:21 |
| UndertakerX2 | Would I need a separate partition to run ubuntu and fedora core 7?? | 05:21 |
| sethk | Jordan_U, nothing necessarily wrong with that. | 05:21 |
| Jordan_U | sethk, I think that meta package is only for -generic | 05:21 |
| sethk | UndertakerX2, as a practical matter, yes. | 05:22 |
| UndertakerX2 | how big of a partition would be practicial? | 05:22 |
| sethk | UndertakerX2, you could theoretically use some tricks to get around it, but unless you have a really good reason, don't try. | 05:22 |

| mycroftiv | tony_: in general, properly configured ssh is about the most secure way to do anything | 05:24 |

| TuxOtaku | mssever, so if there was a log in /var/crash for bonobo, and we know it's a settings problem, is there a bonobo conf for that user that can be moved out of that homedir? | 05:24 |
| sethk | UndertakerX2, sure, as long as you don't try to install multiple desktops (such as KDE and gnome, rather than KDE or gnome) | 05:24 |

| joshua__ | ok i can get the 3d desktop now, but i enable it , the command keys are "control + alt + down" i press it and nothing happens | 05:24 |

| watproof | chief_-> as sethk had suggested you need to enable forwarding, | 05:32 |
| sethk | mssever, actually, my xwin32 X server works excellently, believe it or not. | 05:32 |
| chief_ | watproof : righty so where do I enable that ? | 05:32 |
| mssever | sethk: I've never actually used Vista, only heard stories | 05:33 |
| sethk | mssever, I can cut and paste between windows programs, and programs running on any of my six linux boxes, which is truly helpful. | 05:33 |
| amazen720 | can someone please help me | 05:33 |
| LaserLine | e the notification daemon theme in gusty? | 05:33 |
| smmagic | mssever: IF you hate vista join #wehatevista | 05:33 |
| RAVN_ | xrandr rotate doesn't cover entire screen it doesnt resize y and x >>>HELP!!!! | 05:33 |
| LaserLine | Does anyone know how I can change the notification daemon theme in gusty? | 05:33 |
| watproof | chief_-> you can use sysctl for permanent or echo 1 to ip_forward | 05:34 |
| sethk | mssever, like most people who work, I have clients and need to run certain things in windows. | 05:34 |
| mssever | smmagic: don't actually know enough about vista to talk intelligently about it. I have Linux; what do I need windows for? | 05:34 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, ok....that didn't work | 05:34 |
| smmagic | mssever: Some games unless you have cedega, but still.. | 05:34 |
| watproof | chief_-> echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 05:34 |
| panayiotis | how con i isave a page to my desktop??? | 05:34 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, gnome still won't start on that user's login | 05:34 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Hmm. The user you just created? | 05:35 |
| smmagic | mssever: Some things just do not works under wine, crossover, or cedega | 05:35 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, no, the original user | 05:35 |
| TuxOtaku | gnome runs fine on the new user | 05:35 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: Hmm... a swift kick might help persuade your computer to work right :) | 05:35 |
| TuxOtaku | mssever, lol | 05:35 |
| chief_ | watproof: I get permission denied, as root. | 05:36 |

| scguy318 | winux: sure you can, what chipset | 05:37 |
| chief_ | watproof: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 05:37 |
| mssever | TuxOtaku: The only thing I can suggest is to look through your various dotfiles and see if things work without them. If you don't care too much about your settings, you could just move all your dotfiles to a directory somewhere (leave .bash* in tact, though) | 05:37 |
| watproof | winux-> it does work.. | 05:37 |
| amazen720 | scguy318: can you give some help | 05:37 |

| kahrytan | [Toshiba], I highly suggest VLC aka VideoLAN. Don't have to fool around with codec installs | 05:43 |
| scguy318 | winux: what's your machine anyway? | 05:43 |
| [Toshiba] | oh | 05:43 |
| Q_Continuum | mssever, not since it first happened - I haven't gotten xchat to reliably connect tonight :-/ | 05:43 |
| amazen720 | scguy318: I get from what you gave me Couldn't find package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server | 05:43 |
| kahrytan | [Toshiba], Just install libdvdcss2 and it will play any media file thrown at it and dvds | 05:43 |
| [Toshiba] | is there also a wmv-hd codec? | 05:43 |
| Q_Continuum | sounds about right though, I'll try it when I get a chance | 05:43 |
| mssever | Q_Continuum: Are you using metacity, compiz, or something else? | 05:44 |
| watproof | chief_-> yes, exactly like that | 05:44 |
| chief_ | watproof: righty then I'll try that ;) | 05:44 |
| Q_Continuum | mssever: stock 7.10 apps, ubuntu so gnome | 05:44 |
| Chu | I inadvertently changed my graphics driver, then restarted to find X not starting. Would anyone happen to know of a way for me to fix this issue? | 05:44 |
| mssever | Q_Continuum: logging out and back in will probably cure it | 05:44 |
| mssever | Q_Continuum: So metacity | 05:44 |
| scguy318 | Chu: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (prefix with sudo if you're not root) | 05:44 |
| BiTMAP_ | so dumb question | 05:44 |
| mssever | Q_Continuum: if you don't want to log out, you can try running metacity | 05:44 |
| BiTMAP_ | anyway to get to the latest release of ubuntu without having to DL the ISO and burn to a disk? | 05:44 |
| kahrytan | [Toshiba], Only thing Videolan cant play is real | 05:44 |

| fujin | BiTMAP_: update-manager | 05:45 |
| panayiotis | jhnthn: drag the name of the page which is on the url bar ? | 05:45 |
| Q_Continuum | mssever: just hit a term and run 'metacity'? | 05:45 |
| scguy318 | amazen720: how about just installing linux-restricted-modules? and I'm not sure why you have a server kernel anyway :P | 05:45 |
| mssever | Q_Continuum: yes | 05:45 |
| BiTMAP_ | ok, the update manager WOULD get me the latest build?? | 05:45 |
| Chu | Okay, scguy218, I'll try that out and come back if need be. | 05:45 |
| mssever | Q_Continuum: metacity is Gnome's window manager | 05:45 |

| tony_ | Hey guys, my cousin just called me, and he claims they are blocking all kinds of cool websites at his school. Is there a way, using proxies, he would be able to get around this? (and possibly using an ubuntu live cd? he he) | 05:52 |
| sethk | tony_, it can be done, but it requires a server out on the net to serve as his proxy, and it's not trivial to set up. | 05:53 |
| tony_ | He says that he can get to one website using the ssl or http proxy under the advanced>netowork settings in firefox | 05:53 |
| tony_ | seth --> I have a sever currently only being used as a ssh server, could I set it up for him | 05:54 |
| sethk | tony_, well, that's nice, as long as he only wants to get to one web site. :) | 05:54 |
| tony_ | He is, obviously, mainly hoping to be able to view facebook and digg for hours on end | 05:54 |
| amazen720 | scguy318: synaptic manager says I have this "linux-image-2.6.22.14 generic {2.6.22.14.46} (installed version) Linux Kernel Image for version 2.6.22. on x86/x86_64" already installed. what do I do from here? | 05:55 |
| sethk | tony_, You would have to know more details about what they are blocking. | 05:55 |
| Chu | scguy318: That worked quite well! Thank you. | 05:55 |
| scguy318 | Chu: np | 05:55 |
| sethk | tony_, sometimes they are looking at port 80 and ignoring everything else, which makes things easy. However, often non-standard ports are simply blocked, which makes things more difficult. | 05:56 |
| sethk | tony_, one very simply thing is for him to connect to your ssh server using ssh -X, then run a browser on your web server with the display pointed to his workstation. | 05:56 |
| sethk | tony_, the ports for this may be blocked, and it uses a lot of bandwidth, but it's worth a try. | 05:56 |
| tony_ | ok, that would work even if xorg isn't installed on the server | 05:56 |
| amazen720 | scguy318: synaptic manager says I have this "linux-image-2.6.22.14 generic {2.6.22.14.46} (installed version) Linux Kernel Image for version 2.6.22. on x86/x86_64" already installed. what do I do from here? | 05:56 |
| sethk | tony_, you only need the X client libraries on the server. No need for most of xorg. | 05:57 |
| tony_ | is there a way to 'apt-get' those? | 05:57 |
| Veenified | Can anyone help me get Azureus to run? It will run and completely open but then immediately close. I just installed it. | 05:57 |
| sethk | tony_, that sounds odd, but remember, in X, the server runs on the client machine, and v.v. | 05:57 |
| scguy318 | winux: while you wait | 05:58 |
| sethk | tony_, sure, but the odds are they are already there. If you have the xterm utility, then things you need are already installed. | 05:58 |

| aempirei | well this is sort of better tho | 06:02 |

| scguy318 | winux: I cannot identify from lspci output | 06:02 |
| Flannel | aempirei: If it truely is displaying them incorrectly, double check to make sure every step supports unicode (program, screen, ssh, terminal), then file a bug report | 06:03 |
| winux | scguy318: darn, so internet not an option? | 06:03 |
| scguy318 | winux: i never said that | 06:03 |
| Flannel | aempirei: Oh, try doing it outside of screen (just program, ssh, terminal) to verify that its screen and not something else | 06:03 |
| scguy318 | winux: I said I couldn't immediately figure out what chipset your wireless device is, so I'm asking if you know :) | 06:03 |
| tony_ | ** Sethk--> I installed firefox and xterm on my server, and then, for kicks, I tried running ssh -X username@ipaddress firefox | 06:03 |

| bullgard4 | After upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy I have no LAN access any more. ifconfig does not show an lo entry. How to troubleshoot? | 06:07 |
| joshua__ | yes | 06:07 |
| smmagic | joshua__: Do not repeat the same question over and over, if someone knows the answer they will tell you. also try #VMware | 06:07 |
| novacheck | try rebooting hit ESC and select the older kernel | 06:07 |
| sethk | bullgard4, what does ifconfig -a show? | 06:08 |
| novacheck | download vmware from their site the .tar.gz file | 06:08 |
| novacheck | then tar -zxf filename | 06:08 |
| === nemik is now known as cyanact | ||
| Frogzoo_ | bullgard4: turn off iptables if you're using it - also check dmesg for nic detection | 06:08 |
| novacheck | then sudo ./vmware install.pl or something like that | 06:08 |
| SkareCrow | I also had a question about eth0. I have no clue what it is. eth1 is my gigabit NIC, and eth2 is my 10/100 NIC, but eth0 is just there... | 06:08 |
| scguy318 | winux: looks like you're Realtek, lemme find somewhere else with rtl8187 | 06:09 |
| scguy318 | winux: out of curiosity, if you type iwconfig, what happens? | 06:09 |
| tony_ | Does anyone know much about forwarding x programs through ssh? | 06:09 |
| scguy318 | winux: and you did try the Network Manager right? :P | 06:09 |
| Frogzoo_ | SkareCrow: there won't be eth0 there without a real interface - maybe lspci will show it? | 06:09 |
| bullgard4 | sethk: ifconfig -a shows eth0 (without an IP address), eth0:avah and lo. | 06:09 |
| tony_ | I have tried ssh -X blah blah firefox, without much luck | 06:09 |
| winux | scguy318: yes on the managar, loading vista to see if i can find out info about the wifi card.. ill try iwconfig in one sec | 06:09 |
| SkareCrow | Ahh, I see what it is. Weird. | 06:10 |
| Vibys | sethk: "man ifconfig" will tell you what you need to know | 06:10 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: I think its my onboard, but I thought I disabled that... | 06:10 |
| ups | tony: try export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 firforx& | 06:10 |
| Frogzoo_ | SkareCrow: well apparently not | 06:10 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: Never mind... I redid my bios, forgot to turn that off. I wonder if turning it off would fix my other problem. | 06:10 |
| bullgard4 | Frogzoo_: I do not use iptables. -- I will check dmesg for nic detection. | 06:10 |
| scguy318 | winux: k, I figured out that iwas a Realtek RTL8187 | 06:10 |
| scguy318 | winux: *it | 06:10 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: Did you get my other question? | 06:11 |
| Frogzoo_ | nope | 06:11 |
| winux | scguy318L ok cool | 06:11 |
| hangthedj | how do you change the background for the splash screen in ubuntu? | 06:11 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: My other interfaces will not go up automatically. I have to manually ifup them... After a new install I have to add them to my /etc/networking/interfaces config in order to use them. | 06:12 |
| winux | scguy318: so a driver is needed? | 06:12 |
| DisabledDuck | how do i burn mds files? | 06:12 |
| scguy318 | winux: yes, I figure that the Vista drivers for the wireless might work | 06:12 |
| scguy318 | winux: ftp://ftp.gateway.com/pub/hardware_support/drivers/win_vista/network/D20070-002-001.exe | 06:12 |
| Frogzoo_ | SkareCrow: well if interfaces is correct after the upgrade, where's the problem? | 06:12 |
| tony_ | --- ups* It responded [1]+ Done, although firefox did not start | 06:12 |
| scguy318 | winux: extract the VistaX86 folder to your flash drive | 06:12 |
| Noiano | hello | 06:12 |
| novacheck | can anyone recommend a way to partition my drive i want to reinstall | 06:13 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: I have my /etc/network/interfaces set up, but I still have to manually ifup them | 06:13 |
| Tarkus | does any here use glade/python?? | 06:13 |
| Noiano | how can I send an EOF using keyboard? | 06:13 |
| Frogzoo_ | SkareCrow: you probly need 'auto eth1' or similiar in there | 06:13 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: I might be missing something in my config | 06:13 |
| ups | tony: do you have X server running on local machine? | 06:13 |
| novacheck | test | 06:13 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: That just hit me too... That is what I was thinking of. :P | 06:13 |
| scguy318 | Noiano: isn't that like Ctrl+D? | 06:13 |
| DisabledDuck | does anyone know how to burn mds files in linux? | 06:13 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: All this time and until I actually think about my config do I actually realize what the problem is. | 06:14 |
| riotkittie | whats an .mds | 06:14 |
| Frogzoo_ | DisabledDuck: mds? not mdf?? | 06:14 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: Well thanks, even though it hit me right before you answered, without you I dought I would have actually thought about it. :) Thanks for the help. | 06:14 |
| DisabledDuck | frogzoo_ same difference :D | 06:14 |
| Noiano | sorry my connection died | 06:14 |
| winux | scguy318: yep realtek shows up in vista as well, where shall i transfer the VistaX86 once in linux? | 06:14 |
| tony_ | ups --> no xorg is not installed, but I was told just having the libs that come with xterm would be enough | 06:14 |
| Frogzoo_ | DisabledDuck: mdf2iso | 06:15 |
| scguy318 | Noiano: isn't that like Ctrl+D? | 06:15 |
| tony_ | xorg is not installed on the server, it is installed on the machine I am sshing from | 06:15 |
| Noiano | scguy318, I will try nod | 06:15 |
| DisabledDuck | frogzoo_ i can't convert the image, i have to keep it in it's current format | 06:15 |
| Noiano | now | 06:15 |
| amirman | anyone know a good linux distro, good for kids, and will run on a 256 MB 400 MHz machine | 06:15 |
| scguy318 | winux: after you've extracted the VistaX86 contents to your flash drive | 06:15 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: It is also possible to change the name of the interfaces. For example... From eth2 to eth1 and eth2 to eth1.. Do you know how to do this? I have done it once, but forgot what I did. | 06:15 |
| scguy318 | winux: just lay it on your Desktop | 06:15 |
| winux | scguy318: yes | 06:15 |
| winux | scguy318: ok | 06:15 |
| scguy318 | winux: the debs and driver files | 06:15 |
| Frogzoo_ | DisabledDuck: you probly want cdemu then, you'll need to compile it | 06:15 |
| Frogzoo_ | SkareCrow: /etc/iftab | 06:16 |
| ups | tony: I think you need to run xserver on local machine, then you can get remote X program displayed locally | 06:16 |
| SkareCrow | Thank you. | 06:16 |
| Noiano | scguy318, yes, it is ctrl+d thanks | 06:16 |
| winux | scguy318: then the wireless interface should appear? | 06:16 |
| scguy318 | winux: then we setup ndiswrapper and make that nice wireless work | 06:16 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: The file doesn't exist. Do I have to create it? If so I will just look up the format. | 06:16 |
| Noiano | scguy318, do you know how to send any ascii char? in windows i used to do ALT+asciCode... | 06:17 |
| amirman | edubuntu just fucked up this machine and now it wont boot | 06:17 |
| Frogzoo_ | SkareCrow: man iftab | 06:17 |
| amirman | sweeeeeeeeet | 06:17 |
| punsad | anyone know if there's an editor like 'crimson editor' for linux? | 06:17 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: Thanks | 06:17 |
| tony_ | ok ups, how much of a performance hit will a server (athlon 900Mhz, 192mb of ram) take having to run xorg? | 06:17 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: No man for it. | 06:17 |
| SkareCrow | Frogzoo_: I just looked it up on google. I will read that. | 06:17 |
| scguy318 | Noiano: im clueless on that :P | 06:17 |
| Noiano | scguy318, I see :P | 06:17 |
| punsad | amirman: sounds like a hardware problem | 06:18 |
| amirman | yeah the hardware is OLD | 06:18 |
| sethk | tony_, only memory, if nobody is using it as a head. But, note, you do _not_ need to run xorg for the server to act as I described. | 06:18 |
| punsad | tony_: what sort of load does the server experience normally? | 06:18 |
| Frogzoo_ | tony_: that servers already underpowered - just don't run x | 06:18 |
| Noiano | scguy318, knowing EOF is good enough for the time being :) | 06:18 |
| tony_ | I agree Frogz, I'm just trying to forward x programs through ssh | 06:19 |
| ups | tony: I am not sure, xorg took about 200mb on my machine | 06:19 |
| scguy318 | winux: report when complete, then we'll proceed | 06:19 |
| punsad | amirman: I would try to isolate the problem. THere's a few different reasons that a computer wouldn't boot | 06:19 |
| LordC | weird program here | 06:19 |
| === Tomcat_` is now known as Tomcat_ | ||
| sethk | tony_, X does _not_ need to be running. All you need are the X client shared libraries, and those are almost certainly already in place. | 06:19 |
| bullgard4 | Frogzoo_: dmesg reports: "8139cp 0000:00:09.0 This (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip; 8139cp 0000:00:09.0: Try the "8139too" driver instead; 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28; ...; eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D';...;eth0:link down." | 06:19 |
| sethk | tony_, if not, you can use apt-get or synaptic to install _only_ the client libraries. | 06:19 |
| Frogzoo_ | tony_: you don't need x running on the server if you're forwarding | 06:19 |
| sethk | tony_, if nobody is running an X app on the server, the overhead is _zero_ | 06:20 |
| punsad | tony_: most servers done even have displays. just ssh in | 06:20 |
| winux | scguy318: ok on desktop | 06:20 |
| LordC | In 7.04 on my laptop next to me I can click 'Places>Network>Windows Network' and see mshome and workgroup, and the PCs within them | 06:20 |
| Optimus55 | ques: i booted with 7.10 live cd because i wanted to upgrade, but i realised the usb ports weren't working. if i install to disk will they start working again or am i wishing upon pixy dust? | 06:20 |
| LordC | but on this 7.10 when i click ' Windows Network' i see nothing | 06:20 |
| scguy318 | winux: alright, please install the ndiswrapper-common package, then the ndiswrapper-utils package | 06:20 |
| DisabledDuck | anybody know how to get vmware on Ubuntu? | 06:20 |
| scguy318 | winux: double-click should be sufficient | 06:20 |
| subverso | hello everyone | 06:20 |
| sethk | punsad, he's going to ssh -X in. The discussion is about what's necessary on the server to support ssh -X | 06:20 |
| tony_ | Seth --> I was just having some trouble, I installed xterm and firefox, then I just ssh -X blahblah firefox and I get a gtk-warning, cannot open display | 06:20 |

| === yam716 is now known as yam | ||
| punsad | DisabledDuck: apt-get install vmware (or something like that) | 06:20 |
| subverso | does anyone had used trickle and amule without problem? | 06:21 |
| sethk | tony_, probably ssh X forwarding is off. It's off by default. You turn it on in ... (looking) | 06:21 |
| tony_ | I found the ssh config file, and I made sure it was turned on | 06:21 |
| tony_ | it was at ... (looking) | 06:21 |
| Goatz | Should tasksel install lamp-server, take quite a while at 100%? | 06:21 |
| sethk | tony_, /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 06:21 |
| sethk | tony_, if you changed the setting, you need to restart sshd | 06:21 |
| tony_ | the setting was already set to on | 06:22 |
| tony_ | I did not need to change it | 06:22 |
| punsad | Goatz: you mean the progress bar is already at 100% | 06:22 |
| Frogzoo_ | sethk: the -X flag to ssh | 06:22 |
| sethk | tony_, do this. Do ssh -X whatever to get a terminal window. Then do echo $DISPLAY and tell us what the setting is. | 06:22 |
| scguy318 | winux: report when complete | 06:22 |
| tony_ | sure thing.. hold on | 06:22 |
| sethk | Frogzoo_, yes, I know, however X11Forwarding must be on in /etc/ssh/sshd_config or -X is ignored | 06:22 |
| tony_ | --> localhost:0.0 | 06:22 |
| novacheck | how big should the / partition be if your HDD is 40 GB | 06:23 |
| winux | scguy318: installed | 06:23 |
| scguy318 | novacheck: maybe 5 GB? | 06:23 |
| Goatz | punsad yes, and htop shows I have 4xmysqld_safe pegging out my cpu | 06:23 |
| scguy318 | novacheck: rest you could leave to /home | 06:23 |
| sethk | tony_, that's not correct. What is (in sshd_config) the setting of X11DisplayOffset? | 06:23 |
| scguy318 | winux: k | 06:23 |
| scguy318 | winux: fire up a Terminal | 06:23 |
| novacheck | cool | 06:23 |

| === eric is now known as hangthedj_laptop | ||
| scguy318 | winux: where is the INF driver file located? | 06:23 |
| Frogzoo_ | novacheck: the answer depens on if you plan to have separate partitions for /home /var etc | 06:24 |
| tony_ | x11DisplayOffset 10 is the value | 06:24 |
| novacheck | well just seperate home basically | 06:24 |
| winux | scguy318: 1 sec | 06:24 |
| sethk | tony_, then the display should be set to localhost:11.0 | 06:24 |
| sethk | tony_, so something is not quite right. | 06:24 |
| tony_ | well, someone earlier had me do this command {searching} | 06:24 |
| sethk | tony_, try doing ssh -X whatever while you are already ssh'd in to whatever (whatever being the name or ip of the server) | 06:25 |
| tony_ | export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 | 06:25 |
| sethk | tony_, can't do that. It will override the automatic setting | 06:25 |
| tony_ | well, I did it... :-( | 06:25 |
| panayiotis | hi..can anyone help me install java?? | 06:25 |
| sethk | tony_, if you have that in a .bashrc or some similar file, take it out. | 06:25 |
| Frogzoo_ | novacheck: 5gig might get painful if you tend to install everying, 8 gig should be plenty | 06:25 |
| tony_ | no, I just ran the command once | 06:25 |
| scguy318 | winux: report when ready | 06:26 |
| Gotenks_ | Trying to add a patch from http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971 the attachment "Hack to force mouse warping" and I have no idea how to add it to my configuration. I am on Gutsy with latest supported version of wine | 06:26 |
| Cypher | my wifi keeps dropping is there a good ubuntu turtorial for wifi? | 06:26 |
| winux | scguy318: im guessing locate INF is not correct? | 06:26 |
| sethk | tony_, ok. If you make a new connection to the server using ssh -X, what's is $DISPLAY? | 06:26 |
| scguy318 | winux: i asked you where the inf file was, not to run locate inf :P | 06:26 |
| chuy | !wifi | Cypher | 06:26 |
| ubotu | Cypher: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:26 |
| scguy318 | winux: locate is a fine command tho, simpler than the find command | 06:26 |
| Cypher | ty | 06:26 |
| sethk | tony_, Make completely sure it isn't in a .bashrc file or .bash_profile (assuming you run bash; I run zsh which is far superior :) ). | 06:27 |
| winux | scguy318: ah, how do i find its location? | 06:27 |
| scguy318 | winux: okay, are the driver files all laid out on the Desktop, or are the driver files in a folder on the Desktop? | 06:27 |
| scguy318 | winux: the essence of my question :P | 06:27 |
| sethk | tony_, because if ssh X forwarding is not working, $DISPLAY would be empty, not set to localhost:0.0 | 06:27 |
| winux | scguy318: a folder on desktop | 06:27 |

| tony_ | I didn't put it into any file, just ran it once cuz I was instructed | 06:28 |
| panayiotis | frogzoo: where i can downliad it? | 06:28 |
| Frogzoo_ | panayiotis: you need to enable the multiverse repo | 06:29 |
| scguy318 | winux: tell me what happens | 06:29 |
| tony_ | also seth, in the file ssh_conf(not sshd_config) it says x11forwarding is turned off | 06:29 |
| panayiotis | frogzoo: how? | 06:29 |
| sethk | tony_, I don't think that matters, but let me check. | 06:29 |
| Frogzoo_ | !multiverse | panayiotis | 06:29 |
| ubotu | panayiotis: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource | 06:29 |

| tony_ | hmm, well, that is not my goal, so I will leave it off | 06:30 |
| sethk | tony_, of course it's not the goal, but it may help for testing purposes. Where are you running the ssh -X ? | 06:30 |
| scguy318 | winux: status? | 06:31 |
| tony_ | on a local ubuntu desktop machine, with fluxbox as my window manager, from xterm | 06:31 |

| winux | scguy318: with the wrapper | 06:31 |
| scguy318 | winux: please type ndiswrapper -l | 06:32 |
| slvmchn | how can i change it so sudo doesn't ask for a password? | 06:32 |
| tony_ | and should I make sure X11 fowarding is on on 'this' box | 06:32 |
| Cpudan80 | slvmchn: not a good idea | 06:32 |
| Cpudan80 | slvmchn: dont do it | 06:32 |
| bullgard4 | Frogzoo_: I will do what you are advising. | 06:32 |
| slvmchn | well i don't want to run ALL commands as root/superuser | 06:32 |
| winux | scguy318: netrtuw: driver installed | 06:32 |
| slvmchn | only the ones i put in as sudo | 06:32 |
| sethk | tony_, right. the box where you run ssh needs it enabled in ssh_config. The place where sshd is running needs it enabled in sshd_config | 06:32 |
| scguy318 | winux: what alternate driver does it mention | 06:32 |
| jeyk1982 | hi | 06:33 |
| winux | scguy318: that was ndiswrapper -l 's only message | 06:33 |
| tony_ | ok, well fowarding off is commented out, so I will change that, will I need to restart ssh on the client box? | 06:33 |
| sethk | tony_, I vaguely remember that there was something I needed to do in addition to enabling forwarding in sshd_config. I'm trying to remember what. I could | 06:33 |
| slvmchn | well cpudan80 i'm running xfce and there's a panel plugin called Valve which lets me have an xterm prompt on my top panel... only i can't run ANY 'sudo' commands because there's no actual window, it can't cue me for a password | 06:33 |
| scguy318 | winux: k | 06:33 |
| jeyk1982 | anyone installed dual boot on raid? | 06:33 |
| scguy318 | slvmchn: EDITOR=gedit sudo visudo | 06:33 |
| sethk | tony_, You'll need to run ssh -X again, but that's all, AFAIK | 06:33 |
| scguy318 | slvmchn: then read the comments | 06:33 |
| scguy318 | winux: k | 06:34 |
| slvmchn | just type that in xterm? ok scguy318 will try that | 06:34 |
| scguy318 | slvmchn: yeah, it'll nicely open gedit for you | 06:34 |
| scguy318 | winux: when u ran the sudo ndiswrapper -i command, did it say anything? | 06:34 |
| scguy318 | winux: just wanna check | 06:34 |
| scguy318 | winux: if not, now do | 06:34 |
| jeyk1982 | ? | 06:34 |
| scguy318 | winux: gksudo gedit /etc/modules | 06:35 |
| tony_ | What does AFAIK mean? | 06:35 |
| slvmchn | Cpudan80, why isn't disabling sudo password a good idea? | 06:35 |
| scguy318 | tony_: as far as I know | 06:35 |
| tony_ | lol thanks guys | 06:35 |
| scguy318 | winux: make a new line in the file, put ndiswrapper, save | 06:35 |
| sethk | slvmchn, makes the huge gaping security hole in the ubuntu sudo configuration even worse. | 06:35 |
| scguy318 | winux: then sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and pastebin the output of dmesg | tail | 06:35 |
| Cpudan80 | slvmchn: its not a good idea because presumably you want to know when something is about to run as root | 06:35 |
| jeyk1982 | anyone installed dual boot on raid? | 06:36 |
| tony_ | Alright, well, I changed the client's ssh_config file, and re ssh'd into the machine, and ran firefox, however, still a gtk warning:cannot open display | 06:36 |
| sethk | Cpudan80, disabling the password has nothing to do with sudo logging. | 06:36 |
| tony_ | using -X of course | 06:36 |
| sethk | tony_, what's $DISPLAY ? | 06:36 |
| tony_ | on the server or client? | 06:36 |
| sethk | tony_, also, make sure ssh is not aliased. | 06:36 |
| sethk | tony_, the window to which you connected with ssh -X | 06:36 |
| Cpudan80 | sethk: yes, but dont you think that the last ditch prompt might stop you from doing something really bad? | 06:36 |
| noob69 | hello everyone | 06:36 |
| sethk | tony_, you can eliminate any aliases by using \ssh instead of ssh | 06:37 |
| Frogzoo_ | jeyk1982: you can boot a linux raid partition from grub, and have a separate windows partition - but having both windows & linux on the same raid isn't really happening | 06:37 |
| sethk | Cpudan80, If I typed sudo, I intended to do something as root, no? | 06:37 |
| UndertakerX2 | Do fat32 restrictions still apply on ext3 file systems? | 06:37 |
| sethk | UndertakerX2, no, every file system is different. | 06:37 |
| Cpudan80 | sethk: no password = no room for error | 06:37 |
| winux | scguy318: ok will do, and i got a message from the previous -i, installing ntrtuw | 06:37 |
| Frogzoo_ | UndertakerX2: of course not | 06:37 |
| jeyk1982 | same raid dift partitions | 06:37 |
| scguy318 | winux: good | 06:37 |
| tony_ | ok, echo DISPLAY on the client box gives :0.0 | 06:37 |
| Cpudan80 | sethk: at least with the prompt you can back out of it | 06:37 |
| slvmchn | how much ram can 32-bit ubuntu detect? | 06:38 |
| jeyk1982 | i cant get grub to boot | 06:38 |
| slvmchn | or utitilze without hacks | 06:38 |
| noob69 | if i install the ubuntu server is it hard to install the gnome interface | 06:38 |
| noob69 | on the server | 06:38 |
| sethk | Cpudan80, the entry of the password quickly becomes automatically, and any pause associated with it disappears within a few hours. | 06:38 |
| jeyk1982 | it goes to window | 06:38 |
| scguy318 | slvmchn: max like 4 GB I think | 06:38 |
| Frogzoo_ | jeyk1982: there's no raid solution that's supported well under both linux & windows | 06:38 |
| sethk | Cpudan80, besides, if you type sudo, you are supposed to know what you are sudoing :) | 06:38 |
| UndertakerX2 | well the reason i ask i fat32 is limited to files under 4GB or so if i recall corectley, does thsi apply to ext3 as well? | 06:38 |
| scguy318 | UnderatkerX2: no | 06:38 |
| Cpudan80 | slvmchn: 4 GBs IIRC | 06:38 |
| Frogzoo_ | jeyk1982: well, not unless you have very expensive hardware raid | 06:38 |
| tony_ | ok, this time, on the server machine, echo $DISPLAY returned nothing | 06:38 |
| slvmchn | scguy318, nice thanks, i have 2.5 gigs, just wanted to make sure it'd detect it all (i'm on x86_64 but some of my apps aren't working so i have to downgrade to x86) | 06:38 |
| slvmchn | i'l try 64-bit in a year or two when it's better supported | 06:38 |
| winux | scguy318: done | 06:38 |
| jeyk1982 | ive got some junk | 06:39 |
| Cpudan80 | Cpudan80: 4 GBs is the max for 32 bit archs | 06:39 |
| jeyk1982 | gimme a break | 06:39 |
| UndertakerX2 | thanks SC | 06:39 |
| scguy318 | winux: please pastebin the output of dmesg | tail | 06:39 |
| winux | ah | 06:39 |
| Cpudan80 | slvmchn: 2.5 should go no problem | 06:39 |

| UndertakerX2 | ah ok thanks again sc :) | 06:40 |
| UndertakerX2 | how long does that usually take? | 06:40 |
| tony_ | <seth> --> Also, using \ssh didn't seem to improve anything | 06:40 |
| sethk | UndertakerX2, a thorough test takes several hours. | 06:40 |
| jeyk1982 | i just cant boot off grub, its on the mbr | 06:40 |
| bolko7 | !list spl | 06:40 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about list spl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:40 |
| scguy318 | winux: have you pastebinned it yet? | 06:41 |
| sethk | UndertakerX2, I use the latest version from the memtest86 site. All recent versions are slow. Run it overnight. You can find memory errors quickly. | 06:41 |
| UndertakerX2 | and will i need to apply the results of those tests myself or will the test correct the settings itself? | 06:41 |
| tony_ | seth, also, on the server now, when I echod display, nothing showed up at all | 06:41 |
| scguy318 | UndertakerX2: if memory has issues, you'll have to replace it :) | 06:41 |
| scguy318 | UndertakerX2: its a hardware thing | 06:42 |
| sethk | tony_, ok, then forwarding is not enabled. Let me look at my box for a moment, see if I can remember the second step. | 06:42 |
| scguy318 | UndertakerX2: isolating a memory module is a way to be definitive about where a defect lies | 06:42 |
| scguy318 | winux: have you pastebined? | 06:42 |

| sethk | tony_, ok, good. To eliminate potential network issues, ssh to the server. Enable forwarding in /etc/ssh/ssh_config. Then, ssh -X from the server to the server. (This works, I just tried it). Then do echo $DISPLAY | 07:06 |

| zinc | if anyone is free I'd like to know how to connect 2 computers running ubuntu, over lan? | 07:08 |
| tony_ | seth, ok that didn't work (same cannot open display error), which to me makes sense, because the server doesn't have xorg installed | 07:09 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, wrong default. One easy way to force it is, during configure, enable _only_ one resolution. To do this you choose the "middle" level of configuration w.r.t. the monitor | 07:09 |
| sethk | tony_, no, actually, it doesn't make sense | 07:09 |
| tony_ | and echo $DISPLAY shows null | 07:09 |
| sethk | tony_, $DISPLAY should be set, regardless of the rest. | 07:09 |
| sethk | tony_, you said xterm is on the box, right? | 07:09 |
| sethk | tony_, on the server | 07:09 |

| sethk | tony_, sure, you can set DISPLAY, but I'm not sure it will help. If forwarding were enabled, DISPLAY would already be set. But you can try: export DISPLAY=localhost:11.0 | 07:13 |
| sethk | tony_, the 11 is because offset (in sshd_config) is set to 10 | 07:13 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: that didn't fix it ... when I logged back on it default to a lower resolution. | 07:13 |
| RandomUsr | wib, you have to know how to secure your computers/network | 07:13 |

| winux | scguy318: lol, well i want to get this thing working because i have a C program due next week :s | 07:22 |
| scguy318 | winux: what C app? | 07:23 |
| scguy318 | winux: i know something about C :P | 07:23 |
| sethk | tony_, yes, it isn't surprising that it doesn't work. If it were working, DISPLAY wouldn't be empty in the first place. | 07:23 |
| winux | scguy318: extract ID3 tag data from mp3s | 07:23 |
| sethk | tony_, if I have any brilliant thoughts I'll let you know. :) | 07:23 |
| winux | scguy318: i just want to use DDD and the web from home | 07:23 |
| scguy318 | winux: ah | 07:24 |
| luddite | yoyoy, what suggestions do you all have for a newb that wants to create a custom search engine or run a private one | 07:24 |
| tony_ | seth, thanks for your patience, I guess my cousin will have to figure out a different way to facebook at school | 07:24 |
| scguy318 | winux: ok, obtain the ZIP archive I just linked you to | 07:24 |
| tony_ | he he | 07:24 |
| winux | scguy318: done | 07:24 |
| scguy318 | winux: extract WINXP to your Desktop | 07:24 |
| scguy318 | winux: either the folder itself or the files inside | 07:24 |
| cptcanuck | Okay next dumb question, when I did an upgrade and rebooted now my display is totally borked it's like it's wrapping around the screen several times, when I go to another login prompt I don't have any problem with plain text. But in the GUI it's totally borked. Any idea what I need to do to fix it? | 07:24 |
| scguy318 | winux: well, just the folder | 07:24 |
| scguy318 | winux: then just do sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/Desktop/WINXP/*.inf | 07:24 |
| winux | scguy318: alrighty | 07:25 |
| jimmacdonald | cptcanuck: if you can reboot and get to a cmd prompt you can do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and that should correct the issues | 07:25 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: did you see my pastebin? | 07:25 |
| scguy318 | winux: after that just show what ndiswrapper -l says | 07:27 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: did you say something.. I got booted. | 07:27 |
| scguy318 | winux: oh, and I should have said this earlier | 07:27 |
| scguy318 | winux: remove the old driver by doing | 07:27 |
| winux | lol was jus gonna report | 07:28 |
| scguy318 | winux: sudo ndiswrapper -r ntrtuw | 07:28 |
| winux | k | 07:28 |
| BiTMAP_ | so, are there any special things i need to do for nvidia 8800 cards drivers now? | 07:28 |
| taz | beagle logs keep filling my drive.. I can delete them but for some reason I don't get the disk space back until after I reboot ubuntu.. any ideas? | 07:28 |
| scguy318 | winux: then just show what ndiswrapper -l says | 07:28 |
| scguy318 | winux: if nothing just do the sudo ndiswrapper -i business again and reportg | 07:29 |
| nucco | is anyone using xgl in ubuntu gutsy? I just wanna know how smooth the sailing is before I plunge! | 07:29 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk? | 07:31 |
| winux | scguy318: suduo ndiswrapper -r ntrtuw: "couldn't delete /etc/ndiswrapper/netrtuw: No such file or directory" | 07:31 |
| cptcanuck | jimmcacdonald she's rebooting now, I hope this worked ^_^ | 07:31 |
| winux | sudo | 07:31 |
| cptcanuck | if not it's a "learning experience" | 07:31 |
| BiTMAP_ | anyone know if I am gonna have a hard time installing my nvidia card on ubuntu still ? | 07:31 |
| scguy318 | winux: mm ok | 07:31 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, no, I was on the phone. give me the paste url again? | 07:31 |
| scguy318 | winux: ndiswrapper -l please | 07:32 |
| winux | scguy318: netrtuw: driver installed | 07:32 |
| jimmacdonald | ok hang on a sec. | 07:32 |
| winux | scguy318: and on the -i, it says it cant install because it is already installed | 07:32 |
| SUKER-CN | when i use 1024*768 ,it's so hard to recognise the menu text on some software. | 07:32 |
| cptcanuck | Ahh hell I did something, now my computer can't find any Operating system. | 07:33 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, I found it scrolling up | 07:33 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, notice the last line of the log, setting mode "nvidial-auto-select" | 07:33 |
| cptcanuck | Wow yeah it's totally gone, | 07:34 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, see if there is anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the string auto-select | 07:34 |
| cptcanuck | I think I will just reinstall and not worry about windows at all | 07:34 |
| taz | beagle logs keep filling my drive.. I can delete them but for some reason I don't get the disk space back until after I reboot ubuntu.. any ideas? | 07:34 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: hold on.. | 07:34 |
| scguy318 | winux: sudo ndiswrapper -r netrtuw, sudo ndiswrapper -r ntrtuw | 07:34 |
| scguy318 | winux: whatever its called in ndiswrapper -l | 07:34 |
| sethk | cptcanuck, it's easy to get windows back. reinstalling ubuntu won't bork windows (so long as you don't tell it to use the windows partitions :) ) | 07:34 |
| sethk | cptcanuck, tell it to install grub on the MBR | 07:35 |
| kiloccnp | all | 07:35 |
| cptcanuck | Sethk, that would work, but my hard drive is sounding like a tailpipe being dragged on the freeway | 07:35 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: nope. | 07:35 |
| cptcanuck | I think I found the problem | 07:35 |
| scguy318 | winux: after that just install with sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/Desktop/WINXP/*.inf | 07:36 |
| winux | scguy318: lol yea i made a typo in the -r before.. ok installed now | 07:36 |
| scguy318 | winux: kk | 07:36 |
| joe_ | hello | 07:36 |
| Radio1 | lol tailpipe. | 07:36 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, I use the nvidia driver, and my log doesn't show that auto select line. I'm not sure, though, where it's coming from. | 07:36 |
| chetnick | does anybody here running vmware on Gutsy? | 07:36 |
| scguy318 | winux: installed, now show what ndiswrapper -l says | 07:36 |
| kiloccnp | I don't know insall packet on unbuntu? Who persen hepl me | 07:36 |
| * cptcanuck tosses the HD on the stack o' HD's and grabs another hard drive "REINSTALL TIME!" | 07:37 | |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, further up in the log, there is a list of validated modes | 07:37 |
| winux | scguy318: netrtuw: driver installed | 07:37 |
| Radio1 | do an independant.. | 07:37 |
| kiloccnp | hepl me | 07:37 |
| kiloccnp | help me | 07:38 |
| scguy318 | winux: sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper then sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, then dmesg | tail | 07:38 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, here's one thing you can try. Override the automatic detection of the monitor, and specify "generic monitor capable of 1280x1024 @ 60hz". (go through your reoslution change to get to 1280x1024 and check the horizontal freq) | 07:38 |
| computer12345 | what is a good text to speech program? | 07:38 |
| kiloccnp | i don't know | 07:38 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, it may not help, but it may. It's a straw, but at the moment I'm not thinking of any other staws to grasp | 07:38 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, let me think a bit also. | 07:38 |
| jimmacdonald | sethl: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43638/ <~~ xorg.conf | 07:39 |
| === maco_ is now known as macogw | ||
| jimmacdonald | sethk: that's what the GUI is set to when I log in at the wrong resolution. how would that fix the problem? | 07:39 |
| scguy318 | computer12345: eSpeak, Festival | 07:39 |
| scguy318 | computer12345: for the latter you might have you use alsa-oss in conjunction with it | 07:40 |
| cptcanuck | is 2.5GB a decent size swap for a system with 1.5 GB of RAM? | 07:40 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, 1280x1024 isn't what you want? I got mixed up then. What resolution do you want? | 07:40 |
| computer12345 | thnx friends | 07:41 |
| BiTMAP_ | NEED HELP [ Installing Nvidia 8800 ] | 07:41 |
| osxdude | Good night! | 07:41 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, ? | 07:41 |
| winux | scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43639/ | 07:41 |
| jimmacdonald | 1680 x 1050 (it's a 22inch wide screen monitor) | 07:41 |
| osxdude | i gotta quit here:P | 07:41 |
| scguy318 | winux: ifconfig/iwconfig nada? | 07:42 |
| scguy318 | winux: thats two commands :P | 07:42 |
| scguy318 | winux: something's weird | 07:42 |
| scguy318 | winux: you're running Gutsy right? | 07:42 |
| winux | scguy318: yeah, downloaded today | 07:43 |
| scguy318 | winux: your laptop really is a MX8738? | 07:43 |
| cptcanuck | are new Dell notebooks totally Ubuntu friendly? | 07:43 |
| winux | scguy318: read it off the box | 07:43 |
| bullgard4 | In /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist I added a line "blacklist 8139cp". I rebooted. lsmod still shows an entry '8139cp'. Why | 07:43 |
| winux | scguy318: and it is a realtek as seen in vistas device manager | 07:43 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: 1680 x 1050 (it's a 22inch wide screen monitor) | 07:43 |
| BiTMAP_ | NEED HELP [ Installing Nvidia 8800 ] | 07:43 |
| chetnick | does anybody here running vmware on Gutsy? | 07:43 |
| scguy318 | winux: mm k | 07:44 |
| scguy318 | winux: nothing if you run iwconfig or the like? try rebooting again also | 07:44 |
| kakoonia | yo! | 07:44 |
| winux | scguy318: you wanted me to try ifconfig/iwconfig? | 07:44 |
| kakoonia | !burning | 07:44 |
| 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 | 07:44 |
| scguy318 | winux: ifconfig then iwconfig | 07:45 |
| kakoonia | is the nautilus cd burner recomended? | 07:45 |
| quagz1 | ive used k3b worked a treat | 07:45 |
| quagz1 | very powerful | 07:45 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, There's a line that says the "virtual screen size is 1680x1050". But actually that's the physical, not the virtual, screen size. | 07:46 |
| sjoerd_ | How can i get previews of my .odt files? like i have previews of my .pdf files? And is there anything that looks like Quickview of Apple Leapord for gnome? | 07:46 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, is it possible you told it incorrectly? | 07:46 |
| jimmacdonald | anything is possible. but I thought I told it correctly. | 07:46 |
| kakoonia | quagz1: but its for kde.. i dont unneeded packages of kde... | 07:46 |
| kakoonia | want. | 07:47 |
| Frogzoo | sjoerd_: that would be pretty cool, guess it's in the pipeline | 07:47 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: how do I change it? | 07:47 |
| quagz1 | yeah it is; but it works fine on gnome | 07:47 |
| quagz1 | does it have many kde dependencies? | 07:47 |
| sjoerd_ | Frogzoo: is it? Because i realy like that, then i can look at my files (in a decent quility) without opening them :) | 07:47 |
| kakoonia | im checking it now.. | 07:47 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, probably something else. You can try my idea, but with the correct resolution. Override the automatic monitor selection and specify monitor capable of 1680x1050@60 hz | 07:47 |
| cptcanuck | Has anyone read the official Ubuntu book? | 07:47 |
| BiTMAP_ | NEED HELP [ Installing Nvidia 8800 ] | 07:48 |
| Frogzoo | sjoerd_: well it's a good idea, and being a good idea someone will do it | 07:48 |
| * Netham45 is off to bed | 07:48 | |
| quagz1 | The following NEW packages will be installed: | 07:48 |
| quagz1 | k3b kdebase-bin kdelibs-data kdelibs4c2a libarts1c2a libartsc0 | 07:48 |
| quagz1 | libavahi-qt3-1 libdbus-qt-1-1c2 libflac++5c2 libk3b2 liblua50 liblualib50 | 07:48 |
| quagz1 | libopenexr2c2a | 07:48 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, choose the middle level of monitor related configuration, and check only 1680x1050 resolution. | 07:48 |
| kakoonia | ye | 07:48 |
| jimmacdonald | ok hang on a sec | 07:48 |
| kakoonia | thats what im seeing.. | 07:48 |
| quagz1 | bout 70mb | 07:48 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, you may have already done that, and if so, it isn't going to change anything, but give it a try. | 07:48 |
| sjoerd_ | Frogzoo: :) can i post my idea somewhere? or how can i find out if it already exists because google doesnt help me a lot :) | 07:48 |
| Radio1 | 70 megs..wow. | 07:49 |
| insomnia_ | has anyone ever had any issues changing the mouse pointer? | 07:49 |
| winux | scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43641/ | 07:49 |
| quagz1 | maybe just go the nautilus burner | 07:49 |
| winux | includes some of the above | 07:49 |
| Radio1 | devede. | 07:49 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: should I use NV or Nvidia for the xserver driver? | 07:49 |
| Frogzoo | sjoerd_: you can post a spec on launchpad if you likej | 07:49 |
| quagz1 | I used k3b because I downloaded KDE to try (im pretty new to linux and wanted to see the KDE fuss for myself) | 07:49 |
| kakoonia | quagz1: ye.. i think i will.. cause i dont have too much spare gigs here. | 07:49 |
| tony_ | jimacdonald --> what kind of video card do you have? | 07:49 |
| quagz1 | yeah fair enough | 07:50 |
| tony_ | nevermind, I mean I know its an nvidia | 07:50 |
| Radio1 | I tried mandrake kde..too fussy. | 07:50 |
| tony_ | but, is it new and kick ass, or old and slow | 07:50 |
| jimmacdonald | Vidia Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6800] | 07:50 |
| quagz1 | @ jimmcdonald | 07:50 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, Nvidia. Although, trying nv might be worth a shot. It's only 2d, but it would be an interesting data point to see if the behavior changes. | 07:50 |
| tony_ | I would use the 'nvidia' if they work | 07:50 |
| quagz1 | I just got my 6600GT working on ubuntu | 07:50 |
| quagz1 | works great to | 07:50 |
| quagz1 | i play counter-strike under wine all the time | 07:51 |
| tony_ | I will always recommend using 'envy' to anyone that has video card issues | 07:51 |
| insomnia_ | has anyone ever had any issues not being able to change the mouse pointer? | 07:51 |
| insomnia_ | such a stupid problem... | 07:51 |
| tony_ | insomia, I have never tried to changed the mouse pointer | 07:51 |
| defrysk | tony_, ist not wise to reccomend envy here | 07:51 |
| cptcanuck | Isn't it funny how much happier this room is when I'm not here? | 07:51 |
| cptcanuck | Have a great day all | 07:51 |
| cptcanuck | Me | 07:51 |
| tony_ | why is that def? | 07:51 |
| tony_ | and I still can't figure out how to pm with irssi | 07:52 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: wish me luck. BRB | 07:52 |
| insomnia_ | well, can anyone suggest a way to change the mouse pointer? when i use the graphical menu in themes, it doesnt work | 07:52 |
| quagz1 | you sure? have you tried restarting gnome? | 07:52 |
| insomnia_ | yeah i did a full restart | 07:53 |
| scguy318 | winux: hmm, I should have looked at Gentoo Wiki first :P | 07:53 |
| tony_ | defrysk, is there a reason I shouldn't recommend envy here? | 07:53 |
| winux | scguy318: oh, how come? | 07:53 |
| quagz1 | mmmmm not sure | 07:53 |
| quagz1 | how come you want to change it? | 07:53 |
| quagz1 | @insomia | 07:53 |
| quagz1 | u there? | 07:53 |
| insomnia_ | well, it's odd, i saw the option... changed it once. then got busy. when i opened the menu back up i couldnt change it back | 07:54 |
| quagz1 | yeah | 07:54 |
| scguy318 | winux: they've got a linkie for a driver | 07:54 |
| quagz1 | Go to SYSTEM -> Preferences -> Mouse | 07:54 |
| tony_ | all I know is, 7.04, 7.10, none have been able to detect and use the restricted drivers on my 7600GT out of the box, using them causes xorg to crash, but envy gets it working everything | 07:54 |
| scguy318 | winux: im still wondering why I didn't see any mention of a wireless device in lspci | 07:54 |
| Radio1 | scguy328: is he useing vista. | 07:55 |
| insomnia_ | the pointer option is not there | 07:55 |
| defrysk | tony_, envy its not supported here | 07:55 |
| defrysk | !envy | 07:55 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see ยซ /msg ubotu binarydriver ยป | 07:55 |
| kraut | moin | 07:55 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43642/ <~~ new xorg.conf | 07:55 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, ok ... | 07:55 |
| tony_ | right, it says to use the restricted manager, but that causes my xorg to crash | 07:55 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: no change btw... did exactly the same thing. | 07:55 |
| scguy318 | Radio1: yes, his lappy came with Vista, we tried both the Vista driver (to see if it worked) and XP drivers for RTL8187 | 07:55 |
| scguy318 | Radio1: if you know something, chime in | 07:55 |
| defrysk | !worksforme | tony_ | 07:56 |
| ubotu | tony_: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 07:56 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, I think I see the problem | 07:56 |
| tony_ | ok ubotu, I find little common sense in that statement, but I guess I'll resist | 07:57 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: sup? | 07:57 |
| tony_ | ;-) | 07:57 |
| insomnia_ | is there a terminal command to restart gnome? | 07:57 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, in Section "Screen" (line 97) | 07:57 |
| scguy318 | winux: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Realtek_RTL8187_USB_Wireless_LAN_ME2000XP_d5165.html, the guide suggests using the Win98 driver | 07:57 |
| defrysk | tony_, if you resist in this room it might cost you | 07:57 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, look at the modes line (line 105) | 07:57 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, 1680x1050 doesn't appear | 07:57 |
| quagz1 | yeah | 07:57 |
| tony_ | I meant, resist recommending it | 07:57 |
| quagz1 | you can reboot gnome \ | 07:57 |
| Radio1 | majorgeeks knows their stuff..i go there quite often.. | 07:58 |
| kahrytan | quaal, by restarting x | 07:58 |
| quagz1 | ctrl+alt+f6 will open a tty | 07:58 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, and there is no modeline for it either (lines 74 through 93) | 07:58 |
| insomnia_ | ok | 07:58 |
| defrysk | tony_, ok :) you your blog or something to write about what works for you , I do the same :) | 07:58 |
| kahrytan | quagz1, restarting x restarts gnome | 07:58 |
| quagz1 | i used the sudo gdm stop | 07:58 |
| tony_ | that to me though, seems to go against the very idea of open source though, just like windows saying 'you have to do it this way' | 07:58 |
| quagz1 | sudo gdm start | 07:58 |
| winux | scguy318: never knew 98 had wireless drivers | 07:58 |
| quagz1 | then ctrl+alt+f7 back into the graphical session | 07:59 |
| kahrytan | winux, got laptop? | 07:59 |
| scguy318 | winux: your Realteak chipset writes drivers for basicallya ll the platforms | 07:59 |
| mosce | kskask | 07:59 |
| quagz1 | is that a correct method? | 07:59 |
| scguy318 | winux: *has | 07:59 |
| scguy318 | kahrytan: yep | 07:59 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: ok weird that... how do I go about fixing it... how do I calculate the modelines? | 07:59 |
| kahrytan | quagz1, should tell people how to get back out of tty before you tell them to use it | 07:59 |
| kakoonia | someone knows how to set up a connection of BlueTooth with a mobile phone? | 07:59 |
| quagz1 | LOLZ | 07:59 |
| kahrytan | kakoonia, bluetooth software? | 07:59 |
| winux | kahrytan: a room over, yea | 07:59 |
| quagz1 | hope they were readging this////// | 07:59 |
| kakoonia | kahrytan: ye | 08:00 |
| quagz1 | shit | 08:00 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, here's a modeline from my log: Modeline "1680x1050" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 | 08:00 |
| quagz1 | ^^^^^ | 08:00 |
| minted101 | tony all you got to do is open up the xorg.log grab the modeline it dtects (one you want) and stick it in your xorg.conf, who needs envy | 08:00 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, then add on line 105 at the beginning of the list "1680x1050@60" | 08:00 |
| kahrytan | quagz1, I did that to someone once.. told them to use ctrl-alt-f1 and didnt tell them in time how to get out of it | 08:00 |
| kakoonia | kahrytan: i got this icon at the top, showing me devices, but when i try to connect to it, it says: "OBEX://blablabla" , incorrect location. | 08:00 |
| winux | scguy318: alright ill try 98..wonder why XP wouldnt work | 08:01 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, are you sure the card is capable of 1680x1050? | 08:01 |
| jimmacdonald | yes... it's doing it right now. | 08:01 |
| scguy318 | kahrytan: remove the driver you've already installed of course | 08:01 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, the fact that the card can do a higher resolution than that doesn't necessarily mean it can do that. | 08:01 |
| Radio1 | vista is just too funky. | 08:01 |
| kakoonia | kahrytan: no changes could be applied on it. | 08:01 |
| kahrytan | scguy318, Why you talking to me? | 08:01 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: errr what? | 08:01 |
| kakoonia | hehe | 08:01 |
| quagz1 | lol | 08:01 |
| tony_ | I've tried that without much luck, because it detects the wrong one... anyway, I havent had any problems (playing doom3, counterstrike, whatever) doing it my way, so I will probably stick with it | 08:01 |
| quagz1 | im smiling right now | 08:02 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, never mind, the log does show it as a possible resolution | 08:02 |
| quagz1 | but i would be pissed | 08:02 |
| insomnia_ | ah sorry quagzl | 08:02 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, so add the modeline and then add the resolution to the list on line 105. Might want to take out line 104, but probably 104 is harmless. | 08:02 |
| insomnia_ | i got into the tty and had no idea what to do =P | 08:02 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: the depth? | 08:02 |
| insomnia_ | ended up forcing a restart | 08:02 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: or the virtual mode? | 08:03 |
| quagz1 | yeah soz | 08:03 |
| jimmacdonald | on 105? | 08:03 |
| quagz1 | you have to press ctrl+alt+f7 | 08:03 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, I'm talking about the virtual line. My screen section doesn't have it | 08:03 |
| insomnia_ | didnt work | 08:03 |
| scguy318 | kahrytan: sorry wrong addressee | 08:03 |
| insomnia_ | ok | 08:03 |
| scguy318 | winux: remove the driver you've already installed of course | 08:03 |
| quagz1 | ........... :( | 08:03 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, but one thing at a time. let's add the modeline and add the solution to the list of modes and see what happens. | 08:03 |
| jimmacdonald | do I want to add +hsync +vsync after the modeline? | 08:03 |
| insomnia_ | what should i do afterwards? | 08:03 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, I'd do -hsync +vsync because that's what's on 1400x1050 | 08:04 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, it's a guess; probably, though, it won't make a big difference. | 08:04 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: all my entries have it. | 08:04 |
| jimmacdonald | ok brb | 08:04 |
| kakoonia | kahrytan: you remember my question? | 08:04 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, none have - on anything? then use + for both | 08:04 |
| quagz1 | just been informed | 08:04 |
| quagz1 | ctrl-alt-backspace reboots gnome | 08:05 |
| bullgard4 | In /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist I added a line "blacklist 8139cp". I rebooted. lsmod still shows an entry '8139cp'. Why? | 08:05 |
| kahrytan | kakoonia, i dont use bluetooth | 08:05 |
| kakoonia | k | 08:05 |
| kakoonia | thanks. | 08:05 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: I have a couple that have - for both. | 08:05 |
| insomnia_ | thanks =) | 08:05 |
| kakoonia | !bluetooth | 08:05 |
| ubotu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 08:05 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: and some that are -vsync +hsync | 08:05 |
| sethk | quagz1, actually, it stops the X server, which does reboot gnome ... | 08:05 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, then try the - +. | 08:05 |
| Radio1 | restarts X | 08:05 |
| quagz1 | but gnome automatically boots x | 08:06 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, modern monitors compensate for the setting, it probably doesn't matter much. | 08:06 |
| sethk | quagz1, no, not exactly, but we're quibbling. effectively yes. | 08:06 |
| quagz1 | argh | 08:06 |
| quagz1 | im new to the linux thing | 08:06 |

| scrimple | Hello , does anyone know how to upgrade from the CD rom from fiesty to gutsy? | 08:06 |
| Radio1 | alt f2 metacity (?) | 08:07 |
| scguy318 | winux: I'm gonna need to break, sorry, tired | 08:07 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: what about the @70? | 08:07 |
| scguy318 | winux: g/l | 08:07 |
| JasonOz | Hi, does anybody have experience with installing USB DTV dongles? My Videomate U300 does not appear in the device list :( | 08:07 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, looks ok. you also added it to the modes line on 105 (now 106, I guess)? | 08:07 |
| jimmacdonald | yes | 08:07 |
| bqmassey | it's something along the lines of '&&replace metacity | 08:07 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, let's try 60. If it works we can try 80 and 75 | 08:07 |
| jimmacdonald | ok | 08:08 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, if 60 doesn't work, the others won't either. | 08:08 |
| jimmacdonald | ok | 08:08 |
| quagz1 | @scrimpy: You should get the alternate iso image | 08:08 |
| jimmacdonald | done lemme save and I will be brb | 08:08 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, if it doesn't work (which is probably likely), put the new log file on the paste site. | 08:08 |
| quagz1 | you can then upgrade from feisty to gutsy using the ALTERNATE INSTALL CD | 08:08 |
| insomnia_ | quagzl: yeah still no dice =( | 08:08 |
| JasonOz | Hi, does anybody have experience with installing USB DTV dongles? My Videomate U300 does not appear in the device list :( | 08:08 |
| winux | scguy318: nope :/ | 08:08 |
| scrimple | i got the cd sent to me from ubuntu ship it | 08:08 |
| winux | scguy318: ok night | 08:09 |
| insomnia_ | not being able to change a mouse pointer is just one of the examples why i regret leaving windows. | 08:09 |
| quagz1 | kk i read an article on it this morning | 08:09 |
| xipietotec | I'm installing ubuntu on a friends laptop for them, and Ubuntu cannot seem to access the system clock in bios, is there some way around this? | 08:09 |
| quagz1 | ill see if i can get it for you | 08:09 |
| xipietotec | or rather, ubuntu is not allowed to modify it | 08:09 |
| Frogzoo | JasonOz: only a minority of video dongles have linux drivers | 08:09 |
| insomnia_ | ah that would be awesome =) i tried searching the forum | 08:09 |
| kakoonia | can someone help me resolving this bluetooth issue :" "obex://[00:1c:a4:4e:2d:eb]" is not a valid location. check your spelling and try again " | 08:09 |
| Frogzoo | insomnia_: you can change the mouse pointer | 08:09 |
| quagz1 | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 08:09 |
| insomnia_ | Frogzoo: i know, but, im running into a bug doing so, it's stuck on the one i recently changed to | 08:10 |
| JasonOz | Hi Frogzoo, bummer! I think the u300 is based on the DIB chipset... but if its not supported...damn | 08:10 |
| bqmassey | got it... it's 'metacity --replace' for anyone who's interested | 08:10 |
| scrimple | but i followed the instruction and nothing happened so i went for a fresh install but was wondering if there are any tricks for next time | 08:10 |
| winux | anyone have any more ideas on getting wireless to work? have a RTL8187 (realtek) wireless adapter, tried to install windows vista/xp/98 drivers with ndiswrapper with no luck | 08:10 |
| insomnia_ | quagzl: are suggesting i should upgrade? | 08:10 |
| kahrytan | bqmassey, I know how to do that | 08:10 |
| quagz1 | scrimpy im not sure | 08:10 |
| quagz1 | sorry insomnia_ | 08:11 |
| kahrytan | bqmassey, compiz --replace and metacity --replace. Easy commands. | 08:11 |
| quagz1 | was directing that at scrimple | 08:11 |
| bqmassey | kahrytan: then why didn't you help me when i asked, lol | 08:11 |
| insomnia_ | ah | 08:11 |
| quagz1 | insomnia_, have you had any luck on ubuntuforums.com or the ubuntu wiki? | 08:11 |
| kahrytan | bqmassey, I didnt see it. but those two commands starts compiz and stops it essentially | 08:12 |
| scrimple | thanks | 08:12 |
| kakoonia | ./ืืื | 08:12 |
| insomnia_ | i actually just found a rather long post to look over quagzl =) | 08:12 |
| bqmassey | kahrytan: :) yea.. i couldn't remember the syntax | 08:12 |
| winux | kahrytan: did you have any advice for getting wireless interface to show up? | 08:12 |
| ssam | hey | 08:12 |
| ssam | i cant get my irda to work | 08:12 |
| kahrytan | winux, I am paranoid when it comes to security. So .. i dont use wireless | 08:12 |
| norty | how do i customize the color of files that show up in the terminal, this bright green stuff is hard to read? | 08:12 |
| BiTMAP_ | what is the super key? | 08:13 |
| ssam | dows anyone know how i can syncronize my mobile with the irda | 08:13 |

| norty | BiTMAP_, the super key is the windows key | 08:14 |
| BiTMAP_ | ok, thanks :) now if expo would just work :| | 08:14 |
| slvmchna | can ubuntu detect my Fn key on a laptop? | 08:14 |
| osfameron | ssam: you may get better help if you describe what you've done so far, and where you've run into problems | 08:14 |
| ssam | well | 08:14 |
| ssam | i put the IRDA it....and..... | 08:14 |
| slvmchna | in windows Fn+various keys are shortcuts to lower monitor brightness, sound, etc... wondeirng if i can use the key in ubuntu | 08:14 |
| ssam | and thats about it | 08:15 |
| ssam | lol | 08:15 |
| asra2003 | can gime a tutorial whit pictures of conection to internet ยฌ_ยฌ | 08:15 |
| ssam | it shows that the irda is detected in the drivers database | 08:15 |
| ssam | but when i try to send files on it it says connection failed | 08:15 |
| Extravert | how do I compile with mingw32? | 08:15 |
| marlon | www.google.com | 08:15 |
| CyberMad | some of employee that use ubuntu 7.04 have problem with CUPS, so they must do: sudo -i then enter password, then run /etc/init.d/cupsys restart after that printer start printing... do you know how to make sudo -i with password then /etc/init.d/cupsys restart in single command or script? | 08:15 |
| insomnia_ | quagzl: now my mouse pointer is correct while i mouse over my browser, but yet changes back when i mouse over my desktop and gnome panels | 08:16 |
| scguy318 | winux: i'm concerned about the lack of detection of the Realtek chip, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to blacklist rtl8187 or w/e | 08:16 |
| insomnia_ | this is so silly | 08:16 |
| marlon | www.google.com/linux | 08:16 |
| scguy318 | winux: its why i asked about alternate driver | 08:16 |
| osfameron | ssam: so you're looking for software that connects to a mobile over the infrared? I've never had much luck with mobile phone connection on linux, but there are tools like gnokii (nokia only) and others | 08:16 |
| quagz1 | lol | 08:16 |
| scguy318 | winux: but I guess I'll shut up now :) | 08:16 |
| quagz1 | pm me | 08:16 |

| scguy318 | winux: try another distro, whatever does the job for ya | 08:16 |
| hatter | anyone got any clues why reading a 300Mb file from a samba server is ten times faster than writing to a samba server ? (from an xp box) | 08:17 |
| ssam | it works on windows i am able to transfer files...... | 08:17 |
| ssam | i dont even know how to syncronize it my phone is not symbian or windows mobile...its simple java | 08:17 |

| slvmchna | winux: have you seen this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092 | 08:18 |
| sethk | hatter, typically reads can used cached data, writes have to be flushed to disk. | 08:18 |
| slvmchna | if you're googling around you probably came across it, but it looks like it could work | 08:18 |
| hatter | sethk, hmmm, this happened with the first test, not cached | 08:18 |
| levander | norty: 'man ls', there's some LS_COLORS variable you have to change | 08:18 |
| sethk | hatter, well, so much for that theory :) | 08:19 |
| winux | scguy318: still here? | 08:19 |
| levander | norty: I vaguely remember looking into that like a year or two go, I think there were some real gotchas in getting that variable to work, but I don't remember now... Maybe it's straight forward... Can't remember. 'man ls' and search for LS_COLORS | 08:19 |

| hatter | anyone here got a samba server and an xp box next to each other ? it too 3 minutes to write a 350Mb file... nic is 100Mb on the server | 08:19 |
| hatter | but took 30 secs to transfer it 'from' the samba server | 08:20 |
| quagz1 | @insomnia https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/150475 | 08:20 |
| levander | hatter: are you sure it was 350Mb and not 350MB? | 08:20 |
| quagz1 | are you using gutsy, feisty, warty, etc...???? | 08:20 |
| levander | hatter: I think files are usually measures in MB's. | 08:20 |
| BiTMAP_ | ok, so I enabled the compix config, but it doesnt appear to be taking effect :( | 08:20 |
| hatter | levander, my mistake, MB | 08:20 |
| scguy318 | winux: yes | 08:20 |
| levander | hatter: 8 b = 1 B | 08:21 |

| winux | scguy318: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=259419 | 08:21 |
| sethk | he's talking about a ratio, which is a pure number. The unit is irrelevant | 08:21 |
| winux | scguy318: also, realtek shows linux drivers on their website for 8187 | 08:21 |
| hatter | levander, yes, i am sleepy and coffee deprived | 08:21 |
| levander | well, i'm trying to do math, still doesn't seem it should have taken 3 minutes | 08:22 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: nope http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43644/ | 08:22 |
| hatter | levander, yes, i am getting complaints about network slowness after replacing a sarge box which was fast, | 08:22 |
| Sisco | is ubuntu good to use as a router/firewall (cable modem -> ubuntu -> switch) | 08:22 |
| Sisco | ? | 08:22 |
| scguy318 | winux: yes | 08:22 |
| scguy318 | winux: they're supposed to be in the kernel | 08:22 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, yes, see line 328, it's saing "no such mode." | 08:22 |
| scguy318 | winux: if they're not already modprobbed, you can try | 08:23 |
| scguy318 | winux: sudo modprobe rtl8187 | 08:23 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, it's not finding anything aove 1400x1050 | 08:23 |
| hatter | to which i can only think its samba, because i have two completely different boxes being slow | 08:23 |
| ssam | is there a way to mount my irda to my mobile phone? | 08:23 |
| Sisco | is ubuntu good to use as a router/firewall? (cable modem -> ubuntu -> switch) | 08:23 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: video card problem? | 08:23 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, I think so. | 08:24 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, the virtual screen size first number is 1600, which is less than 1650, which is a bad idea, but it rejects 1600x1200 also and I don't think that's the root problem | 08:24 |
| hatter | Sisco, yes | 08:25 |
| hatter | Sisco, any linux distro is | 08:25 |
| quagz1 | Sisco, see smoothwall | 08:25 |
| quagz1 | its all linux built | 08:25 |
| quagz1 | You can do anything it can do | 08:25 |
| hatter | but not configurable if you want to then use other linux services | 08:26 |
| levander | hatter: well, you looked at the resource usage on the machines in question? like cpu, memory (is it swapping), etc? | 08:26 |
| hatter | levander, yes, its a dual core cpu, load is low | 08:26 |
| winux | scguy318: ah well, guess ill just have to stick with ssh to a linux box | 08:26 |
| levander | hatter: and memory? | 08:26 |
| scguy318 | winux: ah well | 08:27 |
| hatter | hmmm, i will check again if its swapping | 08:27 |

| scguy318 | Radio1: eck yeah | 08:32 |
| scguy318 | Radio1: but M$ will exercise its fine monopoly | 08:32 |

| jimmacdonald | sethk: so I need a new card?\ | 08:33 |
| quagz1 | BETTER THAN CRAPPY msssss | 08:33 |
| scguy318 | quagz1: thats arguable when comparing to say, Portage :P | 08:33 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, a different one, yes. My nvidia does support 1680x1050. (also 1900x1050) | 08:33 |
| scguy318 | quagz1: not that I've ever used Gentoo | 08:34 |
| scguy318 | quagz1: but yes way better than MS | 08:34 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: what nividia card do you have? | 08:34 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, I was just looking. lspci doesn't tell me, it's not in its pci database. let me look. | 08:34 |
| quagz1 | thanks ;-) | 08:34 |
| BiTMAP_ | I am REALLY needing help with a Nvidia 8800 Vid card. | 08:35 |
| scguy318 | BiTMAP_: what about it | 08:35 |
| quagz1 | BiTMAP_ have you tried the nVidia site? | 08:35 |
| Radio1 | vista was designed via the us government..google it...no wonder. | 08:35 |
| smmagic | BitMAP_: How so? | 08:35 |
| BiTMAP_ | i did, when i installed it i reboot | 08:35 |
| BiTMAP_ | tells me that it is in safe graphics, cant seem to get past that | 08:35 |
| smmagic | Radio1: Vista was designed but the us government and coded by a series of chimps | 08:36 |
| scguy318 | Radio1: then again, where do you think SELinux comes from :P | 08:36 |
| Radio1 | loo | 08:36 |
| smmagic | BitMAP: Did you install drivers? | 08:36 |
| BiTMAP_ | I have attempted. It didn't seem to do anything | 08:36 |
| jimmacdonald | OK how many times do I have to say this... DO NOT trust an O/S coded by a spy agency. | 08:36 |
| smmagic | How did you install them? | 08:36 |
| scguy318 | jimmacdonald: do I have to remove SELinux now? :P | 08:37 |
| smmagic | jimmacdonald: Perhaps you trust chimps more? | 08:37 |
| BiTMAP_ | I downloaded a file from nvidia | 08:37 |
| Radio1 | loo | 08:37 |
| jimmacdonald | sethk: BRB reboot | 08:37 |
| Faustov | hi, i've just installed fresh gutsy, now i need to install cacti on it but i get a bunch of dependencies broken with message "Depends: xyz but it is not installable" - how should i deal with that? | 08:37 |
| sethk | jimmacdonald, I can't quite see it. It's one of only two cards that nvidia has (or at least had the last time I checked) supporting dual digital | 08:37 |
| Radio1 | nsa is vista. | 08:37 |
| BiTMAP_ | smmagic I downloaded and ran a file from nvidia it didnt seem to run. Also attempted to run the restricted drivers | 08:37 |
| scguy318 | Radio1: and SELinux :P | 08:37 |
| scguy318 | Radio1: do your research | 08:37 |
| smmagic | Faustov:I also have that error with installing gutsy sometimes | 08:38 |
| smmagic | Best thing is a fresh install | 08:38 |
| sethk | what's wrong with chimps? | 08:38 |
| scguy318 | BiTMAP_: you have to chmod +x the run binary, then just run from terminal | 08:38 |

| mmg0 | i guess the "deltree /y c:" jokes dont work in these linux channels. | 09:28 |
| Evanlec | BigTrigger, you just need to use permissions, right click the folder and hit properties, then permissions tab, set as you want | 09:28 |
| mmg0 | and i guess telling people to "alt-f4" out of their irc client is bound to completely do some crazy stuff on linux like open a portal into tty9 or something. | 09:28 |
| BigTrigger | i mean if someone was to get a hold of my desktop and they click documents i want it to ask for a password | 09:28 |

| tony_ | Bigtrigger, that would be a good idea for a porn folder | 09:29 |
| redomino | tony, I have to customize ubuntu server. I have to add some packages extra and they have to install themselves at startup of installation | 09:29 |

| tony_ | not necessarily, ever program written for linux will owrk on every linux distro out there | 09:32 |
| Evanlec | BigTrigger, disable read permissions for all other users | 09:32 |
| tony_ | every* | 09:32 |
| mmg0 | i mean.. windows, it's all the same. you change IP routing the same way in any version of windows, etc.. | 09:32 |
| MasterScript | Evanlec: any doc/reference how to install ubuntu on VMware? | 09:32 |
| mmg0 | linux it's like | 09:32 |
| mmg0 | "WHAT" | 09:32 |
| Evanlec | mmg0, well thats not necessarily true, there are many commanilties with linux, in fact distros are just different software pacakages really | 09:33 |
| tony_ | yeah, the directory structure and config files are pretty much the same no matter the distro | 09:33 |
| Evanlec | MasterScript, ubuntuforums.org search | 09:33 |
| tony_ | domino? you still there? | 09:33 |
| MasterScript | ok thanks Evanlec | 09:33 |
| Evanlec | you change ip routing the way in any version of linux too really | 09:33 |
| Evanlec | *same | 09:33 |
| mmg0 | Evanlec: well there are major differences, for example ubuntu and kubuntu are very identical, yet they both crash during completely different points during installation. | 09:34 |
| tony_ | he he mmgo | 09:34 |
| Evanlec | mmg0, lol, if you're here to flame linux/ubuntu, you wont get very far | 09:34 |
| void^ | mmg0: show some courtesy and move over to -offtopic | 09:34 |
| mmg0 | im here to make friends. | 09:34 |
| mmg0 | im lonely and cold | 09:34 |
| Evanlec | u wont make any that way | 09:34 |
| * robotphood smells troll in the air | 09:34 | |
| mmg0 | and its the time of the month when im really lonely. | 09:35 |
| tony_ | That is the life of windows | 09:35 |
| * mmg0 picks up Evanlec and spins him around | 09:35 | |
| Evanlec | eh? | 09:35 |
| Evanlec | lol | 09:35 |
| tony_ | mmgo, we could be facebook friends | 09:35 |
| tony_ | he he | 09:35 |
| CyberMad | some of employee that use ubuntu 7.04 have problem with CUPS, so they must do: sudo -i then enter password, then run /etc/init.d/cupsys restart after that printer start printing... do you know how to make sudo -i with password then /etc/init.d/cupsys restart in single command or script? | 09:35 |
| Evanlec | hah | 09:35 |
| tony_ | and omg, I truely don't think your a girl | 09:35 |
| tony_ | I just realized how that came off | 09:35 |
| tony_ | anyway | 09:35 |
| tony_ | #*()&$ | 09:36 |
| Evanlec | CyberMad, should be able to just write those commands into a shell script and save it | 09:36 |
| tony_ | phew | 09:36 |
| ray_ | how does one use the windows driver tool? | 09:36 |
| misa_ | anyone have experience in printing (not burning) bootable cd-s? | 09:36 |
| blue|palm | hi there, im having trouble playing video decently with the gutsy release. all video is VERY blocky regardless of the quality (its very pixellated) I am using an X1900XTX with fglrx installed... any ideaS? | 09:36 |
| Evanlec | misa_, printing? i use lightscribe ;p | 09:37 |
| Evanlec | blue|palm, it has to do with your codecs, i noticed the same thing, the default codecs for reason dont apply any filtering/smoothing | 09:37 |
| nucco | blue|palm: are you using gstreamer? | 09:37 |
| Evanlec | *some | 09:37 |
| nucco | try xine | 09:38 |
| Evanlec | totem-xine? | 09:38 |
| Evanlec | ; | 09:38 |
| nucco | yea | 09:38 |
| Evanlec | hm, k | 09:38 |
| nucco | remember to install xine plugins too | 09:38 |
| misa_ | Evanlec: no. i meant printing (recording) cds in factory, not using enduser cd/dvd burners | 09:38 |
| blue|palm | Evanlec, nucco ive tried totem, vlc AND mplayer... so i doubt its a codecs issue (mplayer uses its own ffmpeg implementation and all) | 09:38 |
| Evanlec | misa_, oh, well, u need a factory for that :) | 09:38 |
| ray_ | how do i update drivers in ubuntu? | 09:38 |
| blue|palm | Evanlec, but what do you suggest I try (what new codecs should i install?) | 09:39 |
| === chacha_moon is now known as co_kentewr | ||
| Evanlec | blue|palm, perhaps the w32 codecs | 09:39 |
| blue|palm | Evanlec, are they in the main repo? | 09:40 |
| redomino | tony? | 09:41 |
| insomnia_ | can anyone help me with beryl and missing window decorations? | 09:41 |
| Evanlec | blue|palm, probly in universe or metaverse | 09:41 |
| blue|palm | Evanlec, thanks | 09:41 |
| Evanlec | blue|palm, multiverse i mean | 09:41 |
| misa_ | Evanlec: yes. the thing is i sent the factory a bootable master and the copies that the factory printed were not bootable | 09:42 |
| nucco | blue|palm: try using GL output in mplayer | 09:42 |
| blue|palm | nucco, that does solve it | 09:42 |
| Evanlec | misa_, lol...oops ;p | 09:42 |
| blue|palm | nucco, but of course performance is horrible | 09:42 |
| blue|palm | nucco, thats what im doing as a temporary measure | 09:43 |
| misa_ | Evanlec: yes. i was wondering if there was a special way of creating a bootable master for that kind of cd recording... and since Ubuntu prints tons of cds... | 09:43 |

| Desy | http://www.crochef.com/index.php?recept=174 for example can't be viewed.. it just continuously syncs at the begining | 09:44 |

| ubotu | There are many ways to back your system up.

| Evanlec | misa_, ah, yea, well im not sure | 09:44 |
| nucco | blue|palm: performance is horrible? | 09:44 |
| blue|palm | nucco, yes, i have a monitor that is 1920x1200 so I can visible see the frames being rendered :-( (im on fglrx 8.37 from the restricted driver manager) | 09:45 |
| blue|palm | visibly* | 09:45 |
| nucco | blue|palm: not the openGL2 output | 09:45 |
| blue|palm | nucco, ive tried both | 09:46 |
| nucco | blue|palm: I have an x1600, performance is good. | 09:46 |
| nucco | maybe you should manually install the newest drivers from ati's website? | 09:46 |
| blue|palm | nucco, rendering to 1920x1200 :-) | 09:46 |
| tony_ | #*()&$Desy, that website works fine for me, and I don't really have any plugins except the extras | 09:46 |
| nucco | blue|palm: I am rendering at 1680x1050 | 09:46 |
| tony_ | on firefox | 09:46 |
| blue|palm | nucco, im considering that, but it seems to be aproblem in ubuntu studio | 09:46 |
| nucco | blue|palm: use envy | 09:46 |
| nucco | blue|palm: I have reservations about ubuntustudio, but that's just me | 09:46 |
| blue|palm | nucco, fglrx kernel module fails to build in ubuntu studio with the -rt kernel | 09:46 |
| Desy | Hmmm.. | 09:47 |
| Desy | Could you give me any more info? the actual vid loads fine? | 09:47 |
| nucco | blue|palm: use envy to install the newest available drivers | 09:48 |
| Desy | Which plugins are you using Tony? | 09:48 |
| blue|palm | nucco, (Ive tried, kernel module fails to build) | 09:48 |
| Evanlec | blue|palm, you'll proably have to use the drivers directly from ati's website | 09:49 |
| nucco | blue|palm: you specifically want to stick with ubuntustudio? | 09:49 |
| Svish | is it possible to add a group to a directory? | 09:49 |
| nucco | Evanlec: same build issue I would expect | 09:49 |
| Svish | so that the group can edit the directory | 09:49 |
| Evanlec | no, i had same issue with nvidia drivers, the restricted drivers in ubuntu wouldnt work with custom kernel, had to use the binary drivers from nvidia | 09:50 |
| blue|palm | nucco, well, i need to record audio, so i need the real time kernel | 09:50 |
| nucco | blue|palm: I guess you should try the drivers from ati's site then | 09:50 |
| blue|palm | nucco, this is the first time im trying this distro out... if it ends up being too problematic im just going back to standard ubuntu ;-P | 09:51 |
| nucco | blue|palm: I've never had issues with standard ubuntu, but I'm not a recording professional | 09:51 |
| blue|palm | nucco, standard ubuntu was working great, but i could not record audio taking from more then one instrument through my mixer, hence my swap | 09:52 |
| Evanlec | anyone here gotten bluetooth dongle working? | 09:52 |
| blue|palm | Evanlec, mine worked in gutsy on its own | 09:52 |
| Evanlec | really? | 09:52 |
| nucco | blue|palm: you record from the 'capture' or 'mix' channel | 09:52 |
| Evanlec | see my motherboard came with a bluetooth dongle, i plugged it in but it aint doin jack | 09:52 |
| _eReN_ | hi world | 09:53 |
| Evanlec | installed everything with bluetooth in its name with apt-get | 09:53 |
| blue|palm | nucco, i know, but it was lagging like crazy | 09:53 |
| nucco | my usb bluetooth works too | 09:53 |
| nucco | oh... | 09:53 |
| kimmey2k3 | is it possible to remove the panels from only one workspace? | 09:53 |
| nucco | kimmey2k3: nope | 09:54 |
| nucco | kimmey2k3: but they don't extend on multiple monitors. | 09:54 |
| kimmey2k3 | i see | 09:54 |
| kimmey2k3 | im using terminal as background and without the panels with would be very nice | 09:55 |

| un_dave | how do i show the speed of a file copy with cp ? | 09:59 |
| tony_ | Good morning fellas, does anyone here use irssi as an irc client? | 10:02 |
| Gunn | tony_ Xchat works much better | 10:02 |
| Flux-D | tony_: sometimes yes | 10:02 |
| tony_ | Gunn & Flux, thanks irssi is working fine for me now, I just don't know how to pm users | 10:03 |
| Flux-D | read the manual :) | 10:03 |
| riaal | Is the default logfile for iptabels /var/log/messages? | 10:03 |
| Gunn | tony_ you type /msg username message here | 10:03 |
| tony_ | and I'll be honest, I'm looking for a terminal based client because A) I'm a nerd, and B) I use it with a transparents tilda terminal | 10:04 |
| tony_ | yeah, I've been trying that | 10:04 |
| tony_ | I will try it with you | 10:04 |
| tony_ | did you get that gun | 10:04 |
| Gunn | tony_ I am not a registered user so I cant message back | 10:04 |
| tony_ | I typed "/"msg Gunn message here | 10:04 |
| un_dave | can anyone explain to me what the -x option for cp does? | 10:05 |
| un_dave | other than "stay on this file system" | 10:05 |
| un_dave | ? | 10:05 |
| kakoonia | i need some help with xhotkeys.. the instructions at the app website is to add ( xhotkeys at the command line at sessions ), well, ive added and tried also -d, but it doesnt launch into the background when i start and not launching it even iv do this command at (Alt+F2).. someone got any idea how to fix it? | 10:05 |
| revx | hello... | 10:05 |
| tony_ | hmm, so you can only pm private usrs | 10:05 |
| un_dave | hi | 10:05 |
| Flux-D | tony_: on freenode yes | 10:05 |
| Nephyrin | un_dave - it um... only.. remains within one filesystem | 10:05 |
| tony_ | I get it, well, I'm not a registered user | 10:05 |
| revx | will some body help me with my terminal.. | 10:05 |
| tony_ | so I prolly can't do it either | 10:05 |
| Flux-D | u can pm urself I think | 10:05 |
| tony_ | revx, what is your question | 10:06 |
| riaal | un_dave, like Nephyrin said, it wont copy from fat32 to ext3 (for example) | 10:06 |
| tony_ | Flux-D, great | 10:06 |
| un_dave | Nephyrin: riaal: oh. i think i see. | 10:06 |
| riaal | anyone? is the default log for iptabels /var/log/messages? :S | 10:06 |
| Gunn | tony_ how can you be on multiple servers with irssi ? | 10:06 |
| Fethman | Hi how can I forbid a user of ftpd to descent below his home directory | 10:06 |
| revx | my terminal...when i open its only WHite display...no user...why what happen?????????????? | 10:06 |
| Fethman | proftpd that is | 10:07 |
| tony_ | you just type "/server blah" over again and connect to as many servers as you wan | 10:07 |
| Nephyrin | un_dave - If you 'mounted' /dev/sda2 in /bob and /dev/sda3 in /bob/sub, and did "cp -x /bob/* /somedir" it wouldn't copy the /bob/sub data because it was not part of the same file system as bob. | 10:07 |
| tony_ | t | 10:07 |
| tony_ | then you just hit 'ctrl x' to cycle through them | 10:07 |
| riaal | Fethman, there is an option for that in the config file.. located in /etc/proftpd | 10:07 |
| tony_ | and then '/disconnect server' as you want as well | 10:07 |
| Gunn | whats the command to cycle channels in irssi ? | 10:08 |
| Flux-D | /cycle ? | 10:08 |
| un_dave | Nephyrin: i have /dev/sda1 as /, and my new raid, /dev/md0 mounted as /mnt/raid | 10:08 |
| revx | and my application windows seems no title bar......i cant move the apps manually... | 10:08 |
| riaal | Fethman, at least it is in vsftpd, but proftpd must have that option to.. | 10:08 |
| Fethman | riaal: any idea how it's called cos I can't see it | 10:09 |
| un_dave | Nephyrin: i want to copy my root from to the raid drive | 10:09 |
| Nephyrin | un_dave - then, if you did "cp -xr /* /mnt/raid" it *should* copy everything into raid, without entering the raid/dev/proc/tmp directories | 10:09 |
| pklim | ha | 10:09 |
| Gunn | doing /cycle just rejoins me to the channel | 10:09 |
| Gunn | how do I switch between different channels in irssi | 10:09 |
| Nephyrin | although, do some sort of dry run before doing something so potentially dangerous :-P | 10:09 |
| tony_ | Gunn, alt+arrow key I believe | 10:09 |
| tech0007 | anyone knows how to reset iptables back to default like fresh install? pls help. | 10:09 |
| pklim | ubunt? | 10:09 |
| Flux-D | Gunn: oh that cycle | 10:10 |
| riaal | Fethman, in vsftpd.conf it is called "chroot_local_user=YES" | 10:10 |
| Nephyrin | From the cp info page: | 10:10 |
| Nephyrin | `-x' | 10:10 |
| Nephyrin | `--one-file-system' | 10:10 |
| Nephyrin | Skip subdirectories that are on different file systems from the | 10:10 |
| Nephyrin | one that the copy started on. However, mount point directories | 10:10 |
| Nephyrin | _are_ copied. | 10:10 |
| Gunn | tony_ alt+arrow key just makes letters | 10:10 |
| Gunn | tony_ D C B and A | 10:10 |
| Fethman | riaal: thx I'll google it | 10:10 |
| un_dave | Nephyrin: that was my plan... but cp -a -x /* /mnt/raid | 10:10 |
| tony_ | he he yeah | 10:11 |
| riaal | Fethman, np | 10:11 |
| Nephyrin | un_dave - that sounds even better | 10:11 |
| Nephyrin | :-P | 10:11 |
| tony_ | and I just released I have that command configured to something else in fluxbox | 10:11 |
| un_dave | Nephyrin: well the raid is blank at the moment... so it cant hurt to try can it? | 10:11 |
| Nephyrin | and much less ultra-destructive as compared to my command XD | 10:11 |
| Nephyrin | It shouldn't | 10:11 |
| tony_ | anyway, I havent had the need to join multiple chanels yet, but I think its trying to explain here, in this link | 10:11 |
| Nephyrin | but I've blown up my systems so many times with things that shouldn't have hurt :-P | 10:11 |

| jc-denton | its using dkms, but that's for redhat afaik | 10:14 |
| tony_ | Gunn --> I think you do alt + 1,2,3,4 for example, but on my system, that is the command to switch workspaces | 10:15 |
| tony_ | so I can't check it for you, but that seems to be how the link explains it | 10:15 |
| tech0007 | anyone knows how to reset iptables back to default like fresh install? pls help. | 10:15 |
| chief_ | nucco: fixed thanks :) | 10:15 |
| artm | thedrs: you need pam-gnome-keyring thing | 10:15 |

| tony_ | iptables --flush | 10:16 |
| artm | then the first time you'll login it'll ask for password but there'll be [ ] don't ask again choice. | 10:16 |
| tech0007 | tony_: ok...i did... what does that do? | 10:16 |
| tony_ | it should... reset your iptables | 10:17 |
| tony_ | at least that is how the command is defined | 10:17 |
| Flux-D | it flushes them down the toilet :p | 10:17 |
| winux | do i need to get a subset of man pages in order to read documentation on C functions? | 10:17 |

| tech0007 | tony_: that's fine, could u point me where to look for the best iptables resources, is there another irc channel for this topic? | 10:19 |
| winux | artm: are those packages? | 10:19 |
| artm | yep | 10:19 |
| icanic | I have AC97 on board and X-fi on PCI | 10:19 |

| icanic | and now nothing workd | 10:20 |
| artm | icanic: 64bit? | 10:20 |
| icanic | *works :-( | 10:20 |
| icanic | 32bit | 10:20 |
| tony_ | honestly tech, the best resource I can ever offer for something like that is google, thats really all I use, just keep browsing for someone who tried to setup the same thing as you | 10:20 |
| icanic | I download drivers from realtek but nothing | 10:20 |
| artm | are there linux32 drivers for x-fi ? | 10:20 |
| icanic | seems like no | 10:21 |
| tech0007 | tony_: ok thanks a much...that's why i love ubuntu coz of all of u guyz, night! | 10:21 |
| winux | artm: ok so i have glibc-doc, does this mean i should automatically be able to man any C function | 10:21 |
| tony_ | good luck tech | 10:21 |
| artm | that's what i thought. the beta drivers from creative are 64 bit only | 10:21 |
| bullgard4 | How to remove the kernel module 8139cp? To blacklist it by writing "blacklist 8139cp" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist is unsuccessful. | 10:21 |

| hno3 | hi all | 10:21 |
| icanic | I dowloaded drivers from this page http://www.opensound.com/download.cgi and when I tryed to install it its all messed up | 10:21 |

| xipietotec | icanic, you'll have to remove oss. | 10:23 |
| icanic | I tryed | 10:23 |
| icanic | bot nothing | 10:23 |
| nucco | icanic: if you installed those drivers with that 'make install' command | 10:23 |
| xipietotec | what I did (it screwed up my system to) is install OSS from that page using the source install, and then remove OSS, which also removes the crappy malformed .dev | 10:23 |
| xipietotec | .deb | 10:23 |

| Evanlec | see, ppl should start using 64-bit ubuntu, that way they can run both 32-bit and 64-bit, while 32-bit users are unable to run 64-bit apps | 10:26 |

| xipietotec | it involves using stylish/greasemonkey | 10:36 |

| joe_ | When I did a test install of Ubuntu 7.10 on my main machine, I saw lots of options for visual effects... cubes and 3d and such. On the machine I'm setting up for a gift, I don't see any of that. Is it dependent upon dx9 video cards? | 10:37 |
| erUSUL | ts_: gpart is a different program it can guess the partition table of a disk if for some reason it gets corrrupted | 10:37 |
| Pyrobyte | priidu_: you use add/remove | 10:37 |
| Pyrobyte | search for the program | 10:37 |
| private0941xx | any folder that i open it just code | 10:37 |
| Pyrobyte | and it downloads and installs by itself | 10:37 |

| private0941xx | the when i open it it says available application | 10:38 |
| erUSUL | joe_: the options should be there you can enable it or not depending on graphic card | 10:38 |
| private0941xx | and theres none | 10:38 |
| joe_ | erUSUL, Where do I find the options? | 10:38 |
| ts_ | erUSUL: well, basically right, the windows ntfs hard disk was corrupted because i accidently DD'd a fat16 partition over the top (500mb) and it lost its file indexes. i used some windows recovery tools on it and recovered most of my files but i was wondering if linux had a solution. Testdisk isn't in my 'add/remove' programs bit, | 10:38 |
| masmota | joe_: install the compiz config settings manager w/ synaptic | 10:38 |

| moreON_ | and ifcofig gives and eth0, eth0:avah and lo section, what details you want? | 11:03 |
| Karotte | naut: a new one, 7600 something.. I use the nvidia binary driver | 11:03 |
| naut | Karotte, is it stable for you? | 11:03 |
| EJ | moreON_: are you getting a valid ip to eth0 ? | 11:03 |
| tony_ | hey guys, I have a little question about fstab | 11:03 |
| Karotte | naut: well I'm using it for half a day now and seems to work fine | 11:03 |
| tony_ | if I mount my server by typing in the following command | 11:03 |
| moreON_ | where would I find that (total noob here)? | 11:03 |
| naut | Karotte, thanks, I'm trying to work out what video card I want for my new system | 11:04 |
| EJ | moreON_: it would look like a 192.168.*.* number | 11:04 |
| tony_ | sudo mount -t cifs -o username=??,password=?? //ipaddress/MyFiles /home/tony/Server1 , how would I translate that to put in in my fstab file? | 11:04 |
| redguy_work | Flux-D: yeah I meant the client booting sequence. AFAIU right now the image in /opt/ltsp/images/ generated by ltst-update-image and then served to thin clients by nbd server. Before it was almost plain root-over-NFS kind of setup. | 11:04 |

| Walfair | lol | 11:05 |
| oj | hey i just got nvidia 8600GTS and i'm trying to switch from my onboard ati video card. I change my BIOS primary display to PCI-EX but when ubuntu boots up the screen goes blank and monitor starts blinking. When I switch primary back to the onboard, ubuntu boots up. I used Envy to install nvida drivers and uninstall ati drivers, but still my monitor goes blank whenever I use boot ubuntu with the PCI-EX card...any advice? | 11:05 |
| naut | Karotte, are you using the binary drivers? | 11:05 |
| dxm | Walfair you have ps3? | 11:05 |
| Karotte | naut: yes | 11:05 |
| EJ | moreON_: yeah that woulld be an ip address | 11:05 |
| Ackdar | !offtopic | dxm | 11:05 |
| ubotu | dxm: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 11:05 |
| moreON_ | eth0:avah has some. | 11:05 |
| moreON_ | None would be allocated by my router though | 11:05 |
| Walfair | dxm, not yet, just planning on to get one as soon I know how distro works on it | 11:05 |
| tony_ | sudo mount -t cifs -o username=??,password=?? //ipaddress/MyFiles /home/tony/Server1 , how would I translate that to put in in my fstab file? | 11:06 |
| Karotte | can someone tell me how I can change window placement etc. when I use dual monitor setup? I don't want fullscreen programs to open over the whole length of both monitors etc. and I don't want everything placed in the middle between two monitors | 11:06 |
| EJ | moreON_: then they arent valid | 11:06 |
| bloony | hum.. how do I make a item on the panel allign on the right side of the panel? (xfce) | 11:06 |
| dxm | Walfair VM | 11:06 |
| oj | can anyone lend me a hand please? | 11:06 |
| moreON_ | Okay then, no valid IP addresses. | 11:07 |
| EJ | moreON_: there are a few things that need checking, 1. is the network card propery working or installed, 2. are you using a know to be good network cable, 3. try a different port on the router | 11:07 |
| tony_ | oj so, if your vidocard is hooked up, and you try to boot into ubuntu | 11:07 |
| tony_ | what happens? | 11:07 |
| daya | how can I use the file location stored in my hardisk in sources.lst file | 11:08 |
| Ackdar | !patience | oj | 11:08 |
| ubotu | oj: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 11:08 |
| Ackdar | can anyone tell me how I can activate slmodemd --alsa -c USA modem:1 and modprobe intel8x0m at startup?? | 11:08 |
| tony_ | oj your fine | 11:08 |
| moreON_ | The network card is onboard, so it *should* be good hardware-wise. The cable is almost definitely good, but I'll just check, and I'll try changing the port on the router right now. | 11:08 |
| oj | display goes away when system boots into ubuntu | 11:08 |
| oj | ty tony | 11:08 |
| EJ | moreON_: sounds like its either a driver issue or you have a faulty peice of hardware, linux is pretty good at picking up network adaptors and installing drives so i would be leaning toward a faulty peice of hardware | 11:09 |
| oj | my monitor starts blinking when its hooked to the PCI-ex card as soon as ubuntu starts booting, thats the problem | 11:09 |
| tony_ | so, just to clarify, does your new video card work for anything? like windows... etc | 11:09 |
| tony_ | sudo mount -t cifs -o username=??,password=?? //ipaddress/MyFiles /home/tony/Server1 , how would I translate that to put in in my fstab file? | 11:09 |

| bezibaerchen | just did an "do-release-upgrade" on feisty server. now hanging with 46 unconfigured packages. apt-get upgrade tries to reconfigure, as they depend on each other. but how to fix that? | 11:10 |
| moreON_ | Oh fantastic, I don't really have any way to test the hardware, that I know of. | 11:10 |
| EJ | Ackdar: i have yet to have a problem with any network adaptor drivers with any distribution i have worked with, and if all else fails use ndiswrapper (works espically well with wifi adaptors) | 11:11 |
| oj | right now i'm logged in safe graphics mode | 11:11 |
| bezibaerchen | i am really in a glitch now | 11:12 |

| winux | Or is there a way to let Ubuntu know that I am running it on a laptop, and that it can use battery power? | 11:16 |
| EJ | moreON_: the cable was working fine ? if so then i would kean toward finding a cheap pci network card to put in the system and see if that does anything for you, oter than that you can try ndiswrapper and use the windows drivers for your current network adaptor ar try to find linux drovers for it. eiter way will take some time studying if your new to the game. | 11:16 |
| hankdogdaddy | ackdar, maybe I am lonely | 11:16 |

| gayan | i cant run EXE file | 11:18 |
| oj | i don't have windows but i know it will work because i've got the cd drivers for it | 11:18 |
| moreON_ | I've already used ndiswrapper once, although I found a full tutorial for doing it with that card. | 11:18 |
| Ackdar | gayan, EXE does not work in Linux | 11:18 |
| hankdogdaddy | ok, well what happens when you boot into ubuntu | 11:18 |
| Ackdar | gayan, unless you download WINE | 11:18 |
| oj | monitor light starts blinking | 11:18 |
| oj | resolution problem i think | 11:18 |

| legolas-San | Paddy_EIRE: ? | 11:18 |
| hankdogdaddy | can you even boot into the terminal? | 11:18 |

| EJ | moreON_: take a look at this link for ndiswrapper instructions, it may help if you decide to go that way : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 11:18 |
| oj | nope | 11:18 |

| oj | yeah it does boot, but my monitor stops displaying. Right now if I go to screens and graphics, Ubuntu has dected both my cards, the onboard and the PCI. | 11:21 |
| hankdogdaddy | .. but.. I take it.. currently only the onboard is connected to your monitor? | 11:22 |
| Ackdar | For the newcomers: can anyone tell me how I can activate slmodemd --alsa -c USA modem:1 and modprobe intel8x0m at startup?? | 11:22 |
| oj | yes you are correct | 11:22 |
| hankdogdaddy | so.. if you connect it to your video card, and reboot | 11:22 |
| Ackdar | O_O | 11:22 |

| ubotu | kypreo: Instant Messenger Clients: Gaim (GNOME, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto), Kopete (KDE), both supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. | 11:34 |
| erUSUL | kypreo: you can use gaim or amsn | 11:34 |
| osfameron | hankdogdaddy, gluonman: er, well I guess that's the problem :-) | 11:34 |
| hankdogdaddy | gluonman, I personally, and I believe most will also agree, that openoffice is a great piece of software | 11:34 |
| private0941xx | does anyone know | 11:34 |
| kypreo | ok cool thanks man, i was having some problems when trying to install packages and stuff because I am preety new to the whole linux environment | 11:34 |
| Karotte | hm after configuring twinview I notice that compiz and for example glxgears is using quite a lot of CPU, any idea why | 11:35 |
| gluonman | hankdogdaddy: I'll try re-installing it. The problem is one of those really strange ones that randomly happens with no known connection to anything. | 11:35 |
| hankdogdaddy | glumnan, I would first try apt-get remove openoffice.org, and then apt-get install, because that error seems quite strange | 11:35 |
| ShadowApex | private0941xx: you want to put linux on your ipod? Using Rockbox? | 11:35 |
| bastian | erUSUL: thx a lot.... gotta learn to find it myself | 11:35 |
| dgjones | kypreo, the one a lot of people use is pidgin which was gaim in the previous versions, either that or kopete or aMSN (I think aMSN supports webcams as well, don't think pidgin or kopete do) | 11:35 |
| MenZa | g/w 28 | 11:35 |
| hankdogdaddy | If that doesn't work, I would try the forums, that problem seems too rare to try and wait around here | 11:35 |
| Svish | I installed the Zeroconf Service Discovery Applet, and it works great! But many of the services reports that I have no plugin to handle 'whatever service'. How can I find out what I need for a particular service? | 11:36 |
| private0941xx | no | 11:36 |
| bicycledaave | hankdogdaddy: got an example for you : //192.168.49.50/Laserfiche /mnt/Desktop cifs noauto,credentials=/home/lenard/bin/cifs.txt,users,rw,umask=008 0 0 | 11:36 |
| private0941xx | rockbox is just like itunes | 11:36 |
| Fariska | hello | 11:36 |
| hankdogdaddy | whoa bicycle dave, thanks man! | 11:36 |
| private0941xx | i just want to install linux in my ipod | 11:36 |
| ShadowApex | Rockbox isn't a music application | 11:37 |
| bicycledaave | hankdogdaddy: nevermind, see if it works | 11:37 |
| erUSUL | bardun: no problem ;) | 11:37 |
| timob | private0941xx: "just" .... | 11:37 |
| lakmal | hellow | 11:37 |
| ShadowApex | Rockbox is Linux specifically made for portable music players | 11:37 |
| private0941xx | timob: you know what to do | 11:38 |
| hankdogdaddy | Sorry Dave, but I have to hurry on out and get to work/then/class, I will copy that and study and try it later tonight, thanks though | 11:38 |
| ShadowApex | you can download RockBox Utilites and it will automatically install the bootloader and OS on your ipod | 11:38 |
| abyss | timob: right-click on the Workspace Switcher applet, then choose Preferences <-- from the help manual! if i do this i only can configure the interface but cant add more planes i think in gusty the help is not actual | 11:38 |
| oj | okay i'm back | 11:38 |
| gluonman | hankdogdaddy, I also have a minor, considerably less annoying, issue that I was wondering if you would know anything about. I'm using Gutsy, by the way. I did some manual changing of fonts in my appearance settings and the Character Palette that I have attached to one of my panels is frozen with a certain Hindi font that I tried out of curiosity, but have since replaced. | 11:38 |
| oj | type sudo /etc/init.d/dgm restart shut down the gui and logged me into terminal | 11:39 |
| private0941xx | does anyone know how to install linux to an ipod? | 11:39 |
| timob | abyss "planes"? | 11:39 |
| kypreo | why would you wan't Linux on a IPOD? | 11:39 |
| kypreo | how could you be bothered | 11:40 |
| kypreo | lol | 11:40 |
| bicycledaave | private0941xx: http://ipodlinux.org/Main_Page read this, and good luck cause it's risky | 11:40 |
| abyss | timob: workspaces | 11:40 |
| Svish | private0941xx: http://ipodlinux.org/Main_Page | 11:40 |
| timob | !rockbox for the last time | 11:40 |
| gluonman | osfameron: crap. Removing the program and then reinstalling it didn't fix the problem at all. | 11:40 |
| Svish | !rockbox | 11:40 |
| gluonman | osfameron: any ideas? | 11:40 |
| ubotu | rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! | 11:40 |
| private0941xx | why is it risky | 11:40 |
| naut | I need a tv card that does at least dvb-t | 11:41 |
| private0941xx | bicycledaave: why is it risky | 11:41 |
| naut | any recommendations? | 11:41 |
| Svish | private0941xx: read about it on rockbox or ipodlinux. they tell you there | 11:41 |
| naut | Varka, dvb-t, any recommendations? | 11:41 |
| Varka | naut: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_Devices | 11:41 |
| === AfterDea1h is now known as AfterDeath | ||
| private0941xx | i tried downloading the packages that it told me but there's no help | 11:42 |
| naut | Varka, thanks | 11:42 |
| Birdman | Naut, I have a winfast dtv1000 T (i think, or maybe a slightly different model), and it works very well, very happy with it, and pretty cheap too | 11:43 |
| abyss | timob: i activated the compiz-fusion plugin Cube and Cube-rotation! but i cant rotate nor switch to other workspaces cause there is only 1 configured | 11:43 |
| bicycledaave | private0941xx: svish's right, read the manuals, firmware manipulation is natually risky | 11:43 |
| naut | Birdman, thanks | 11:43 |
| osfameron | gluonman: no, I don't really have ideas, I'm just negative... (Personally I found that OOo will always crash if I have any mp3 playing software running at the same time) | 11:43 |
| naut | Is it worth getting PCI-express? | 11:43 |
| zeroflag | my eth-device and (it seems) my mac address keeps changing at random. it also keeps complaining about an invalid mac address. any way to fix the mac address (literarely)? | 11:43 |
| osfameron | gluonman: you could try Abiword and Gnumeric | 11:43 |
| naut | as in a PCI-e tv carfd of course | 11:43 |
| osfameron | gluonman: or vim, sc, and latex, if you fancy getting oldschool | 11:43 |
| naut | or is PCI fast enough | 11:44 |
| gluonman | osfameron: thanks. | 11:44 |
| karlmarx21 | Anybody see a problem that firefox crashes when reads gmail on gutsy | 11:44 |
| ShadowApex | private0941xx: go here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RockboxUtility | 11:44 |
| ShadowApex | download rockbox utility | 11:44 |
| Birdman | Naut, I think mine is just pci, it works pleanty fast for normal tv.. for HD stuff, its a bit slow, but I think thats probably more my machine than the interface bandwidth (correct me someone!) | 11:44 |
| osfameron | gluonman: also, even if it opens up the document writer by default, you should be able to go "New -> Spreadsheet" or similar | 11:44 |
| ShadowApex | and it will automatically install the bootloader and the OS in a dualboot format | 11:44 |
| gluonman | osfameron: I'll try that. | 11:45 |
| timob | abyss: try editing this gconf key if using the applet doesnt work /apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/number_of_desktops | 11:45 |
| ShadowApex | so you can retain the original apple firmware and boot into it whenever you'd like | 11:45 |
| private0941xx | and these get linux to your ipod | 11:45 |
| private0941xx | its just risky | 11:45 |
| dgjones | karlmarx21, I use gmail with firefox on gutsy and don't have any problem with it crashing | 11:46 |
| ShadowApex | it installs the linux variation, Rockbox | 11:46 |
| ShadowApex | it's not too risky; I've done it myself and it worked perfectly | 11:46 |
| karlmarx21 | I didn't when I started but something has chnged | 11:46 |
| abyss | timob: ty very much works fine | 11:46 |
| ShadowApex | with apple products, most of the time you can just run itunes with your ipod attached and it will redownload the firmware to your ipod if you mess up | 11:47 |
| ShadowApex | but the installer is pretty straitforward | 11:47 |
| Birdman | Naut: btw, I find that Kaffeine is the way to go for digital tv. VLC works, but its harder to set up | 11:48 |
| gluonman | osfameron: what's a good command to free up disk space (other than obviously removing/uninstalling stuff)? | 11:48 |
| naut | Birdman, thanks | 11:49 |
| ShadowApex | gluonman: sudo apt-get autoclean; sudo apt-get autoremove | 11:49 |
| naut | I used to use Kaffeine before, my old tv card stopped working | 11:49 |
| soundray | How can I find out which IP address ranges I can use for non-public networks? | 11:49 |
| gluonman | ShadowApex: thanks. | 11:49 |
| rushiraje | How 2 upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1 | 11:49 |
| osfameron | ShadowApex: ooo, shiny | 11:49 |
| naut | k, i'm off to bed | 11:49 |
| ShadowApex | gluonman: that will delete any cached deb packages | 11:49 |
| naut | cya's | 11:50 |
| ShadowApex | =P | 11:50 |
| gluonman | ShadowApex: Okay. | 11:50 |
| private0941xx | so rockbox is like ipod linux | 11:50 |
| osfameron | gluonman: also worth trying the Disk Usage Analyser, or the ohter one that shows a pretty pie chart, to see where your space is going | 11:50 |
| gluonman | osfameron: right. | 11:50 |
| ShadowApex | private0941xx: yeah, that utility includes Doom, GB emulator, text editor, etc. | 11:50 |
| _zz | how do i create a new env var. The question may be trivial but i can't find a concrete answer on the net | 11:50 |
| private0941xx | nice | 11:51 |
| ShadowApex | private0941xx: make sure your ipod model is supported though | 11:51 |
| ShadowApex | private0941xx: go to the rockbox homepage to see if it's there | 11:51 |
| BioinforXu | what is BTW mean? | 11:51 |
| soundray | _zz: it depends on which environment the variable needs to be set -- shells? All users? Just one user? Gnome? | 11:51 |
| Mattia1 | How do i extract .cab files? | 11:51 |
| private0941xx | well i got a ipod nano 2 GB | 11:51 |
| soundray | Mattia1: with cabextract | 11:52 |
| legolas-San | I still don't get how telephone signals (old analog ones) can know where to go. They must have some sort of "packet header" data (telephone number)... | 11:52 |
| _zz | soundray: all users, i've ssh'd into a test server | 11:52 |
| _zz | as root | 11:52 |
| Evanlec | BioinforXu, by the way | 11:52 |
| ShadowApex | private0941xx: look on the website; http://www.rockbox.org | 11:52 |
| [Toshiba] | is that the ipod thing? | 11:52 |
| private0941xx | i am | 11:52 |
| BioinforXu | Thank! | 11:52 |
| soundray | !info cabextract | Mattia1 | 11:52 |
| ubotu | mattia1: cabextract: a program to extract Microsoft Cabinet files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-2 (gutsy), package size 52 kB, installed size 184 kB | 11:52 |
| ShadowApex | yeah | 11:52 |
| soundray | _zz: so it needs to be set system wide in all shells? | 11:52 |
| Mattia1 | soundrat: thanks! | 11:52 |
| [Toshiba] | personally i like the pre-installed thing in the ipod than the rockbox | 11:52 |
| MustafaSoft | hi | 11:53 |
| _zz | soundray: yes | 11:53 |
| soundray | Mattia1: don't call me that | 11:53 |
| gluonman | ShadowApex osfameron: a question for either of you to answer: I played around with different fonts in my appearance settings and now my Character Palette on one of my panels is permanently stuck on a Hindi font that I tried out of curiosity, though I have since replaced it in the settings. | 11:53 |
| soundray | _zz: then /etc/environment or /etc/profile is the place to set it | 11:53 |
| ShadowApex | Toshiba: I like Apple's firmware for playlists and ratings, but I like RockBox for the games and video playback | 11:53 |
| _zz | soundray: ok, thanks | 11:53 |
| osfameron | gluonman: filelight was the disk usage thing I was thinking of | 11:54 |

| damianl | lol | 11:57 |
| soundray | rushiraje: I will ask ubotu to send you a link. You have to dig a bit in the help site to find the instructions for upgrading from breezy (5.10) | 11:57 |
| soundray | !upgrade > rushiraje | 11:58 |
| newguy | ubotu: iptables | 11:58 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 11:58 |
| Lifeisfunny | and win means what? like win place and show? | 11:58 |

See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information. | 12:14 |
| Biju-Kerala | sander that should be in the syanpitc package manager correct? | 12:14 |
| Evanlec | phanto1, not really, gutsy makes flash a non-issue | 12:15 |
| Sander | Biju-Kerala: jups.. or simply in the add remove tool at Applications | 12:15 |
| phanto1 | Evanlec: Thanks | 12:15 |
| Biju-Kerala | phanto1, I installed amd64 and Im a newbie. DIdnt have much trouble. but did run into a problem with onboard sound. | 12:15 |
| Biju-Kerala | Ty Sander | 12:15 |
| soundray | Evanlec: what about the Sun Java plugin? | 12:15 |
| Evanlec | Biju-Kerala, thats probably not related to 64-bit | 12:15 |
| Evanlec | yep there's the java thing too | 12:15 |
| Evanlec | but there's workarounds for it | 12:15 |
| sakal | hellow any idea where i can find help how make my wireless card working on ubuntu 7.10 ? | 12:16 |
| Biju-Kerala | Evanlec, Yup, I just followed the how to on java, flash and codec and everythign was ok :) | 12:16 |
| phanto1 | Biju-Kerala:That's my wary to ( HD intel 1780 ) | 12:16 |
| Evanlec | yea its really not that hard | 12:16 |
| Biju-Kerala | Evanlec, The problem just required me to reconfigure or recompile alsa | 12:16 |
| soundray | phanto1: if you're worried, you don't lose much by sticking to 32bit. You're just not using the full capability of the CPU. | 12:16 |
| Biju-Kerala | phanto1, Look up linuxquestions.org My id is BijuMathew , Look under the hardware section. Detailed thread there. Or troubleshooting thread on ubuntuforums.org | 12:17 |
| soundray | phanto1: since during normal desktop use, the CPU spends most of the time waiting for you to press keys, it doesn't matter. | 12:17 |
| toot | is there a channel for the xubuntu | 12:17 |

| arang2 | so guys, i just bought a mobo and put an athlon 64x2 5600 on it and 4gb of DDR2 ram and installed ubuntu and all fine and dandy but i can only use 3.3gb of RAM what do i do to access the full 4gb under gutsy 32bits i read on the forums but at the end i dont know whats the truth | 12:30 |
| Pici | arang2: you need to be either using the server kernel, or AMD64 | 12:31 |
| abuyazan | hello | 12:31 |
| erUSUL | arang2: you need a highmem kernel... maybe the server one will do | 12:31 |
| gluonman | soundray: it just opens a blank page. | 12:31 |
| Pici | erUSUL: Yes, the server kernel supports PAE | 12:31 |
| abuyazan | can i extract .bkf windows files into linux | 12:31 |
| shredder_ | why would you use a 32bit kernel today? | 12:31 |
| arang2 | Pici: how do i install the server kernel without screwing everything? | 12:31 |
| dust | whats the difference between "Synaptic" and "Add/Remove Programs"? | 12:31 |
| voltagex | dust: more control, more programs listed in Synaptic | 12:32 |
| erUSUL | dust: nothing at it's core (apt DB managment) everything on the GUI side ;P | 12:32 |
| gluonman | soundray: nevermind. I've determined my problem. | 12:32 |
| dust | voltagex, erUSUL: ok thank you both :) | 12:33 |
| arang2 | erUSUL: please could u tell me how to install the server kernel without screwing my whole system in the process? will i need to recompile the modules for it? like nvidia and such? | 12:33 |
| phanto1 | Is VMware Wine compatible or instalable on 64 Ubuntu? | 12:34 |
| erUSUL | arang2: it is accesible via synaptik iirc and it is safe to install... if you manually compiled the drivers you will have to do it again for the new kernel | 12:34 |
| Pici | arang2: install the linux-server package. I'm not sure if you need to reinstall to get this to work properly, if it doesnt boot: boot using the last usable kernel and remove the server one. | 12:34 |
| Pici | erUSUL: is it? | 12:34 |
| Pici | arang2: Actuall, I think it is safe, I vaugely remember doing a switch betweeng server and generic on one of my servers. | 12:35 |
| erUSUL | Pici: well as you said if does not boot shew can allways boot with the default kernel and remove the server one | 12:35 |
| arang2 | erUSUL: as far as i know, everytime the kernel updated i had to like reinstall the video drivers and recompile the vmware thing | 12:35 |
| jrib | phanto1: you can install vmware on 64bit ubuntu natively | 12:35 |
| gluonman | soundray: might you also know why my Character Palette on my panel is stuck with a Hindi font that I tried out of curiosity but have since replaced? | 12:35 |
| jrib | !vmware > phanto1 (read the private message from ubotu) | 12:35 |
| arang2 | Pici: any downside on installing the server kernel? | 12:35 |
| Pici | arang2: I havent seen one. | 12:36 |
| arang2 | Pici: are u using the server kernel? | 12:36 |
| chazco | hi... anyone here able to help me fix a problem with the internet following installing 7.10? One page doesnt work (it starts to load, then goes very slowly and stalls, but no errors)... the page works on 7.04, on another PC with the same Firefox + Settings. All other webpages appear to work. Its not ipv6 (disabled it, no change)... :) | 12:36 |
| jrib | Pici: are there linux-restricted* for the server kernel? | 12:36 |
| erUSUL | arang2: yes, all 3 party modules has to be recompiled against the kernel you are using that's the way we pay for using dubious kernel modules (from a legal pov) | 12:37 |
| Pici | jrib: I dont know actually. | 12:37 |
| jpastore | anyone here use virtual box? | 12:37 |
| jrib | jpastore: best to just ask the channel your next question and see if anyone knows the answer | 12:37 |
| arang2 | erUSUL: my nvidia drivers were installed thru the recommended way in Gutsy, will they need some kind of reinstall too? | 12:37 |
| voltagex | jpastore: I have in the past, what's your problem? (just ask in future) | 12:37 |
| jrib | arang2: you should stick with -generic if you want to use the nvidia drivers | 12:38 |
| tvisto | Hey guys, please help: How do i set permissions to folders? | 12:38 |
| arang2 | jrib: why ?? | 12:38 |
| jrib | !permission > tvisto (read the private message from ubotu) | 12:38 |
| jpastore | I'm trying to get a win xp guest to access apache and I'm not getting any love. I can access the virtual host from ubuntu via firefox... | 12:38 |
| erUSUL | arang2: check the converstion between pic and jrib... i dunno if there's a linux-restricted for the server kernel | 12:38 |
| jrib | arang2: because you would have te build the nvidia stuff yourseld afaict. What's the reason for having nvidia modules on a server :/ | 12:39 |
| jpastore | I install vbox as a way to test web apps with IE since they suck and control most of the market... | 12:39 |
| erUSUL | tvisto: right click on them go to properties>permisions | 12:39 |
| arang2 | jrib: anything that could be done to request an special desktop kernel with support for more than 4gb? , nowadays 4gb of ram are dirty cheap and more and more equipment is gonna hit the barrier soon | 12:39 |
| leo|term | Is there any option in vsftpd similar to chroot, but that allows for symlinks | 12:40 |
| tvisto | erUSUL: i do so but the permissions are all closed; says i got to be the master of PC, so i write in terminal sudo su and then password still nothing | 12:40 |
| leo|term | in other words, a less secure chroot | 12:40 |
| geekyogi | ubuntu rocks!! | 12:40 |
| erUSUL | tvisto: what folder are you cnaging the permissions of? | 12:40 |
| geekyogi | any one here wants to chat any thing apart from ubuntu.. i got bored chatting on them | 12:41 |

| jrib | arang2: does the 64bit kernel not support more than 4gb of ram (I'm asking as I am not sure)? | 12:41 |
| erUSUL | tvisto: then use command line... >>> man chmod | 12:41 |
| jrib | geekyogi: /join #ubuntu-offtopic please | 12:41 |
| chazco | hi... anyone here able to help me fix a problem with the internet following installing 7.10? One page doesnt work (it starts to load, then goes very slowly and stalls, but no errors)... the page works on 7.04, on another PC with the same Firefox + Settings. All other webpages appear to work. Its not ipv6 (disabled it, no change)... :) | 12:41 |
| voltagex | jpastore: did I miss your question? | 12:42 |
| Evanlec | jrib, the 64-bit kernel does support more than 4gb of ram... | 12:42 |
| arang2 | jrib: yes it does but i've been told that the 64 bits version isnt ready for prime use, starting with lots of problems with apps, e.g. Flash in firefox and other stuff | 12:42 |
| tomce | has anyone experience with ipw2200 - intel wireless? | 12:42 |
| jrib | arang2: it's impossible to use more than 4gb of ram on 32bit isn't it? | 12:43 |
| Evanlec | arang2, this is no longer true, with gutsy, flash and other apps are no longer an issue | 12:43 |
| jpastore | voltagex, I think so. basically I have win xp as a guest and I need it to access apache on ubuntu my host. trying to access the default gateway ip of 10.0.2.2 doesn't work. virutal host configured with *:80 to listen | 12:43 |
| erUSUL | arang2: not true anymore with gutsy... flash works in just three clicks | 12:43 |
| voltagex | tomce: as far as I know it should work with Gutsy. | 12:43 |
| bicycledaave | chazco: could it be a network problem? have you tried to ping the website? | 12:43 |
| voltagex | jpastore: ah, sorry can't help you there, I had networking problems of my own with it. | 12:43 |
| erUSUL | arang2: you do not have w32codecs though so you may loose access to some strange media files | 12:43 |
| arang2 | erUSUL: what about other applications? like vmware (i know it got a 64 bits version) and nvidia compiz-fusion wine etc | 12:43 |
| chazco | Everything else (including other pages on that site) work bicycledaave | 12:44 |
| samad909 | hey, I got ubuntu install problems, tried the desktop and the alt cd both, also did a cd integrity check but does not help..desktop: stuck at the point where the progress bar is loading alt cd: stcuk at the point where apt is conffed and after the http proxy is asked for it is stuck....any ideas? | 12:44 |
| jpastore | voltagex, thanks...I think the answer is setting up a transparent bridge similar to how vmware handles it but I'm not sure. | 12:44 |
| smacky | dum question how do i install my webcam using 7.10 | 12:44 |
| bicycledaave | chazco:so sth special in that page? java? | 12:44 |
| arang2 | erUSUL: well not so strange media, i always install w32codecs cos thats the only way to watch decent video | 12:44 |
| voltagex | jpastore: you're further than I got. Networking VBox killed my real connection :( | 12:44 |
| erUSUL | arang2: wine works for me (version from the winehq repos) vmware (i dunno i use kvm) nvidia and compiz fusion (not a single problem) | 12:45 |
| chazco | Nope, been over all the obvious stuff, its jsut HTML + CSS (some very basic javascript i think too)... nothing that would cause this... it works on this version of Firefox on my Vista PC | 12:45 |
| arang2 | erUSUL: what about video codec support? | 12:45 |
| jpastore | voltagex, oh that sucks...I have a xin xp running just fine accessing the internet...vpn doesn't work...using win xp's pptp connector... | 12:45 |
| erUSUL | arang2: i used the restricted manager >>> then System>Appearance | 12:45 |
| jrib | arang2: the only real issue in amd64 is sun's java plugin and some obscure windows codecs and you can still always setup a chroot for those | 12:45 |
| voltagex | jpastore: what about trying without a vpn? | 12:46 |
| erUSUL | arang2: the only video i tried and filed used the a52 video codec | 12:46 |
| AdvoWork | is there a way I can see exactly what a user is doing on my system/real time? | 12:46 |
| erUSUL | arang2: and you do not see many of them araound | 12:46 |
| arang2 | jrib: how do u solve sun's java problem? | 12:46 |
| tvisto | erUSUL: oh that looks complicated, can't even understand anything inside the explanation; is there no simpler way or more common sense? | 12:46 |
| erUSUL | arang2: failed* | 12:46 |
| jrib | !flash64 > arang2 (read the private message from ubotu) | 12:46 |
| arang2 | erUSUL: what about real decent h.264 and mkv support, or aac support | 12:46 |
| leo|term | Is there any option to chroot in vsftpd, that does the same thing, but allows symlinks and is therefor less secure? | 12:47 |
| smacky | dum question how do i install my webcam using 7.10 | 12:47 |
| erUSUL | tvisto: e.g to give writte permission to a folder and all files within recursively you just use 'sudo chmod -R +w folder/' | 12:47 |
| jrib | !webcam > smacky (read the private message from ubotu) | 12:47 |
| Evanlec | jrib, yea, actualyl chroot isnt the preferred method anymore, easier to just intall the libia32 package which install 32bit libraries | 12:47 |
| tomce | voltagex: it works with gutsy... right from the start. but it's not able to be connected costantly to the internet | 12:48 |
| tvisto | erUSUL: how do i close permissions back? | 12:48 |
| jpastore | voltagex, the vpn is a separate issue I'm jsut trying to access the host via http. I would like to be able to vpn from the guest to my network since network manager 0.6.5 can't do pptp vpn anymore | 12:48 |
| erUSUL | tvisto: use - instead of + | 12:48 |
| smacky | thx | 12:48 |
| tvisto | erUSUL: thanks alot! | 12:49 |

| Shapeshifter | Hi. I installed Ubuntu 7.1 on 1 of 4 harddisks in my computer. The ubuntu installator detected it as "sdc1". After the installation it wouldn't start and I had to change the root= line in grub to sdd for it to work. Now it seems like on every _first_ bootup after the computer has been turned off, ubuntu will be on "sdc1" and on every reboot after that it will be "sdd1". | 13:29 |
| Shapeshifter | There is a quick fix, I just created two grub entries, one for sdc1 and one for sdd1, but still, this shouldn't be. Btw I switched all the fstab entries from UUIDs to trivial paths, same for the grub entries, but it doesn't make a difference. Any ideas? | 13:29 |

| ray_ | i am running gnome 2.2 i keep getting this error "the composite extension is not available when i use any other settings than no desktop effects can anyone help me? | 13:39 |
| Sharpie | yesterday i closed my computer with a CD still in it, and now i have 2 icons of that disk on my desktop, how can i remove one? | 13:39 |
| neil_d | eko_hermiyanto, it might be doable if the bios on the computer is set to wake-on-lan and you new the ip address of the computer. | 13:39 |
| Pici | Sharpie: Is there an eject or unmount command if you right click one of the icons? | 13:40 |
| eko_hermiyanto | neil_d, about the ip, it does not matter | 13:40 |
| eko_hermiyanto | because I have the whole list of all computers here | 13:40 |
| eko_hermiyanto | :D | 13:40 |
| ray_ | sharpie have you tried unmounting it through the konsole? | 13:40 |
| Sharpie | Pici, yes, and the CD comes out but 1 icon still stays | 13:40 |
| Sharpie | ray_: no, i don't really know how to do that =\ | 13:40 |
| eko_hermiyanto | pici, neil, soundray : thanks guys for your ideas | 13:40 |
| Pici | Sharpie: What about just deleting the icon? | 13:40 |
| soundray | eko_hermiyanto: WOL won't help your situation unless the remote machine is set up for WOL, which it isn't by default, because it would be a security hazard. | 13:40 |
| Sharpie | Pici: you can't delete a disk icon =\ | 13:41 |
| ray_ | i wanna say its unmount /dev/(whatever drive) | 13:41 |
| ray_ | but the command should me unmount | 13:42 |
| ray_ | be* | 13:42 |
| Sharpie | hm, weird | 13:42 |
| neopsyche | ??????????????????? | 13:42 |
| Sharpie | i have 2 icons of that cd in my file browser too | 13:42 |
| Sharpie | like, in places | 13:42 |
| bullgard4 | "echo blacklist8139cp | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-8139cp" does not function. What's wrong? | 13:43 |
| neil_d | Sharpie, I am sometimes getting two icons for my USB pendrive too. | 13:43 |
| ray_ | sounds like an echo, have you put in a different disk | 13:43 |
| Sharpie | neil_d: how'd you remove them then? | 13:43 |
| Sharpie | ray_: i'll try | 13:43 |
| ray_ | i am running gnome 2.2 i keep getting this error "the composite extension is not available when i use any other settings than no desktop effects can anyone help me? | 13:43 |

| soundray | endo602: please pastebin your /etc/fstab on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 13:47 |
| eko_hermiyanto | my friend is using outlook and I am using thunderbird on ubuntu. when she sends me a message with attachment, I always receive it as winmail.dat | 13:47 |
| IdleOne | jrib: dcc is diabled on freenode | 13:47 |
| eko_hermiyanto | how to open it? | 13:47 |
| ferronica | jrib: how ? | 13:47 |
| IdleOne | disabled | 13:48 |
| ferronica | jrib: sorry got disconnected | 13:48 |
| jrib | IdleOne: ugh, since when... | 13:48 |
| endo602 | one sec | 13:48 |
| IdleOne | jrib: since always I thought | 13:48 |
| IdleOne | unless it is me :/ | 13:48 |
| jrib | I've transferred in the past | 13:48 |
| o00w | soundray: I do not have a wireless connection on my laptop...I need to download wirelessassistant for my laptop so I can search out a connection | 13:48 |
| neil_d | eko_hermiyanto, what sort of file is a .dat ? | 13:48 |
| cef | IdleOne: sounds like just you.. I've used it here before.. but if you're behind nat or a proxy it may not always work | 13:49 |
| soundray | o00w: connecting it through a wire temporarily is not an option? | 13:49 |
| eko_hermiyanto | well, she sent me attachments(4 files), prn files | 13:49 |
| eko_hermiyanto | but I only receive winmail.dat | 13:49 |
| selig5 | 13:49 | |
| ferronica | jrib: same time i got DC | 13:49 |
| IdleOne | cef: I am behind a router and on other networks it works fine but here and a couple other networks I cant dcc | 13:49 |
| eko_hermiyanto | sometime I forward this email into my gmail account and I get those attachment | 13:49 |
| o00w | I am waiting for the cable company to connect it this weekend I need to leach in the meantime | 13:49 |
| jrib | ferronica: private message | 13:49 |
| eko_hermiyanto | but now, this day, i sent it into gmail but still winmail.dat | 13:50 |
| eko_hermiyanto | have no idea | 13:50 |
| shadowhywind | So here is a simple question. If i can not find my broadcom wireless device in lspci then chances are there is no power going to it correct? | 13:50 |
| neil_d | eko_hermiyanto, check the file size, sound like she sent you the shortcut icon. | 13:50 |
| endo602 | soundray | 13:50 |
| soundray | o00w: http://batmat.net/apt-offline/ has some info on offline installing | 13:50 |
| eko_hermiyanto | 145.5kb | 13:50 |
| cef | eko_hermiyanto: winmail.dat is an ms-tnef format archive | 13:50 |
| eko_hermiyanto | cef, yes because she is using outlook | 13:51 |
| soundray | endo602: ? | 13:51 |
| ray_ | shadowhywind: do you know the chipset, you have to build the driver from there, or get a windows driver converter | 13:51 |
| eko_hermiyanto | neil_d, I think it's the right attachment | 13:51 |
| ray_ | i am having the same issue | 13:51 |
| jrib | eko_hermiyanto: tried: http://www.google.com/search?q=winmail.dat+linux | 13:51 |
| eko_hermiyanto | because previously she sent simillar files, | 13:51 |
| shadowhywind | well its a broadcom 4311 | 13:51 |
| eko_hermiyanto | but only less than 100kb too | 13:51 |
| neil_d | eko_hermiyanto, probably | 13:51 |
| ray_ | try looking up the chipset driver | 13:51 |
| riaal | its really hard to brute-force hack an ssh-keygen passphrase? or do I need a "heavy" password for it? | 13:51 |
| endo602 | caI cant do it right now | 13:51 |
| cef | eko_hermiyanto: there is a package called ytnef that will decode them for you | 13:51 |
| ray_ | then go from there | 13:51 |
| endo602 | i am going to work on it later | 13:51 |
| eko_hermiyanto | cef, thanks bro | 13:51 |
| cef | eko_hermiyanto: but not sure about built into thunderbird tho | 13:52 |
| russian | gey all | 13:52 |
| russian | hey* | 13:52 |
| soundray | endo602: okay | 13:52 |
| shadowhywind | ray_ well thats the odd part, it used to work, and then it stoped even in vista, got a new card and no change. hehe | 13:52 |
| eko_hermiyanto | cef, well, at least I can give it a try | 13:52 |
| eko_hermiyanto | :D | 13:52 |
| riaal | is it hard to bute-force hack an ssh-keygen passphrase? | 13:52 |
| russian | Change to the root directory of the sources and execute the configure script: ./configure --> How to know what the root directory of those sources are? | 13:52 |
| === russian is now known as Russian | ||
| soundray | riaal: that depends entirely on how strong the passphrase is | 13:53 |

| eko_hermiyanto | ERROR: Checksum mismatch. Data corruption?: | 13:53 |
| ray_ | shadowhywind: you sure its the same chipset | 13:53 |
| neil_d | riaal, all depends on the quality of the password. | 13:53 |
| dgjones | eko_hermiyanto, The file is attached to the email because the original sender is sending emails in Microsoft Outlook Rich Text Format instead of Plain Text format. | 13:53 |
| andres08 | Why md5sum are diferent between DVD-R and DVD+R? Yessterday I burned ubuntu 7.10, and has diferent md5! | 13:53 |
| cef | eko_hermiyanto: there is also the LookOut plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4433 but it may not work for you.. | 13:53 |
| shadowhywind | yup matched the numbers up my self, don't trust HP to send the same card. | 13:53 |
| eko_hermiyanto | dgjones, ohh ic | 13:53 |
| ray_ | lol i understand | 13:53 |
| Russian | soundray: Hey, how are you doing today | 13:53 |
| soundray | andres08: one of your burns must have gone wrong | 13:54 |
| AVesnin | hi everybody! | 13:54 |
| Russian | Hi AVesnin | 13:54 |
| soundray | Russian: life is like a grapefruit | 13:54 |
| ray_ | Russian: how familiar are you with gnome? | 13:54 |
| AVesnin | can i speak Russian here? | 13:54 |
| dgjones | eko_hermiyanto, this might help, it says that file is only relevant to the format of the email http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278061 | 13:54 |

| ray_ | damned | 13:54 |
| Russian | ray_: using for couple days now | 13:54 |
| nicolah | how do I disable the password-request after the hibernate ? thanks | 13:55 |
| cef | andres08: might also be that -R and +R use different padding sizes, so one is padded (with blanks) and the other isn't... will affect the md5sum, but not the actual data | 13:55 |
| ray_ | i have been out of the linux loop for nearly 10 years | 13:55 |
| Russian | AVesnin: Nope, English only, but PM's are allowed ^^ | 13:55 |
| andres08 | soundray, when i did "Check CD for defects" ubuntus menu, the output are NO ERRORS FOUND, but when i did at TERMINAL "md5sum /dev/dvd" the output at DVD+R is diferent bettwen ubuntu.org md5sum | 13:55 |

| Russian | soundray: I followed these 2 guides https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux%20build%20instructions | 13:56 |
| neil_d | is VirtualBox capable of running XP ? | 13:57 |
| andres08 | cef: you know why is different "Check cd for defects" and "md5sum /dev/dvd" | 13:57 |
| Russian | soundray: Unfortunately I am stuck on the second guide this point L http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux%20build%20instructions | 13:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Russian, virtual box is in the repositories | 13:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Russian, why compile it | 13:57 |
| dgjones | AVesnin, if you want a channel with russian language support, you could try #ubuntu-ru | 13:57 |
| soundray | Russian: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox ? | 13:57 |
| ferronica | jrib: ok | 13:57 |
| Russian | Paddy: what are Repositories | 13:57 |
| ferronica | jrib: what to do next ? | 13:57 |
| wishie | since the upgrade from feisty to gutsy, gnome crashes as soon as it logs in... any ideas ? there seem to be errors related to compiz in the output | 13:58 |
| Pici | !software | Russian | 13:58 |
| ubotu | Russian: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 13:58 |
| Russian | soundray: yes thats where I started | 13:58 |
| wishie | is there a way to stop gnome from using compiz by default ? | 13:58 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !repo | Russian | 13:58 |
| ubotu | Russian: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource | 13:58 |
| cef | andres08: my guess is that "Check cd for defects" only reads a fixed amount of data, whereas the md5sum reads blocks from the hardware device (and on the +R gets the trailing part of a blank block at the end) | 13:58 |
| Blinny | I have a Gutsy-server box and I'd like to install ubuntu-desktop from my gutsy-desktop CDrom. I'm at the command line. How do I add the CD as a source and pull the appropriate packages from it, rather than from the Internet? | 13:58 |
| soundray | Russian: okay, I have no personal insight, so I won't be much help beyond that. | 13:58 |
| Russian | soundray: thank you anyway :) | 13:59 |
| jrib | ferronica: tell the channel the error you got | 13:59 |
| soundray | Blinny: you can't use the Desktop CD as a package source -- only the Alternate CD | 13:59 |
| ferronica | jrib: please check your mail | 13:59 |
| wishie | i have no X since the upgrade to gutsy. this is a total disaster. any help would be appreciated | 14:00 |
| Blinny | soundray: I think this is the alternate CD - I downloaded it originally to install on a low-ram machine. | 14:00 |
| bullgard4 | What is a 'register level interface' as in "A host controller interface is a register level interface which allows a host controller for USB or FireWire to communicate with the operating system of a personal computer. On the expansion card or built-in controller, this probably involves much custom logic; prototypes involve digital logic engines in FPGAs plus analog circuitry managing the high speed differential signals." | 14:00 |
| ferronica | jrib: how to check channel ? | 14:00 |
| Blinny | soundray: Is there a way to verify whether it's an alternate source? | 14:00 |

| ray_ | and i click on normal, extra, or custom i get this:The Composite extension is not available | 14:03 |
| Blinny | I believe this is an alternate CD. | 14:03 |
| neil_d | Blinny, not the startup you get from the LiveCD to it must be the alternative CD. | 14:03 |
| Blinny | Coo. | 14:03 |
| ray_ | i want to know what that means and how to fix it | 14:03 |
| Pici | ray_: What video card do you have? Did you enabled the restricted drivers for that carD? | 14:03 |

| IdleOne | !apache | epifanio | 14:06 |

| ubotu | epifanio: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 14:06 |
| bulmer | epifanio-> see if there is any /etc/init.d/apache* | 14:06 |
| neil_d | snsone, if you are using a cross-over cable that only works between two computers, what is your setup ? | 14:06 |
| soundray | Blinny: I'm really out of my depth. neil_d might no, or put the question to the channel. | 14:07 |
| eljak | epifanio, /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 14:07 |
| neil_d | Russian, ? | 14:07 |
| Blinny | soundray: Thanks. | 14:07 |
| o00w | soundray: the directions seem partial...assuming that you have a solid understanding of them...I am new to this...in ubuntu there isn't an exe format like windows? | 14:07 |
| snsone | neil_d: if i set the ip for the other computer with network connections then the internet doesn't work at all | 14:07 |

| Russian | neil_D: <neil_d> Russian, there is in mine try enabling all repositories. ---> I dont get it | 14:08 |
| neil_d | snsone, so the XP has two network cards ? | 14:08 |
| soundray | o00w: I don't know much about the Windows exe format, so I can't answer that, sorry. Can you put your question differently? | 14:09 |
| snsone | neil_d: no,i have.eth0 is going in the xp machine and eth1 is from where the internet is coming | 14:09 |
| Blinny | How do I define a Gutsy alternate CD as an apt source from the command line to install ubuntu-desktop on my current -server installation? | 14:09 |
| Wisteso | exe = binary | 14:09 |
| neil_d | Russian, you might not have the repository that has VirtualBox in it enabled. | 14:09 |
| Russian | neil_d: can you please guide me trough it | 14:10 |
| o00w | soundray: exe allow you to download the software for later use...run the exe and it begins the installation process | 14:10 |
| epifanio | ok thanks ! this works : /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 14:10 |
| Wisteso | lol.. | 14:10 |
| o00w | soundray: is the only equivelent to compile from source code? | 14:10 |
| jrib | ferronica: all I can tell you is that your available-old does not have a status line at all for xcursorgen. So maybe you can just delete it from your current available. But you should probably look into it more and make sure no one has a better idea | 14:10 |
| ferronica | jrib: got | 14:10 |
| Blinny | epifanio: To do it the proper way, use 'sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart' | 14:10 |
| snsone | neil_d: do you know what i could do? | 14:10 |

On the expansion card or built-in controller, this probably involves much custom logic; prototypes involve digital logic engines in FPGAs plus analog circuitry managing the high speed differential signals." | 14:10 |
| Mitsurugi | hi all | 14:11 |
| sherkin | cef: I'm afraid I have to give up: I can't get the generic-mmc-raw driver working... and my drive model is unknown from cdrdao. Here's a paste of command-line interaction: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43665/ | 14:11 |
| Wisteso | oOOw - linux doesn't restrict programs like windows | 14:11 |
| soundray | bullgard4: did the blacklisting work in the end? | 14:11 |
| neil_d | snsone, set the ip address of eth0 (which I presume has the crossover cable) leave eth1 alone. | 14:11 |
| ferronica | jrib: please check your mail again | 14:11 |
| Wisteso | oOOw - a text file can be executed just as well as a regular binray file | 14:11 |
| ferronica | jrib: sended you screenshot | 14:11 |
| jrib | ferronica: I see it | 14:12 |
| soundray | o00w: is this question somehow still connected to your apt-offline issue? | 14:12 |
| sherkin | Thanks anyway . The link http://apocalyptech.com/linux/cdtext/ is very interesting | 14:12 |
| snsone | neil_d: if i do that then the internet doesn't work at all neither on my computer or the xp machine | 14:12 |
| IdleOne | ferronica: you can also use yousendit.com for files upto 100mb if that helps you any. easy sign up and works well | 14:12 |
| neil_d | Russian, use the menu Settings->Repositories, then enable everthing. | 14:12 |
| snsone | neil_d: i'm setting the ip for the xp to 192.168.0.1 and dns: 255.255.255.0 | 14:12 |
| Wisteso | oOOw - and if you're compiling a program, then you're creating a binary executable. (like .exe) | 14:13 |
| neil_d | snsone, what is the ip of eth1 | 14:13 |
| ferronica | jrib: checked ? | 14:13 |
| Sgomes | olรก | 14:13 |
| ihate88 | heeeeeey there: i finally got my wlan drivers compiled(can i add them to ubuntu, so they are included in the next release?) - my question - ive got 6 kernel modules under /usr/local/sry/rtl8187b-modified - instead of insmodding them manually i copied them to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/rtl8187b . then i hammered in some "depmod"s and "depmod -A"s - in hope it will function. then i am able to load the r8187 module(it automatically loads its | 14:14 |
| ihate88 | dependencies AND keeps them after reboot) NOW the part: the ieee80211's ccmp, tkip and wep modules are not loaded automatically when i load r8187 and in case i load them manually - they don't stay after the reboot | 14:14 |
| IdleOne | !es | Sgomes | 14:14 |

| Russian | neil_d: Thank you | 14:14 |
| ferronica | jrib: why i cant able to remove it :( | 14:14 |
| ihate88 | is there any "nice" way of solving it? i want to do it the ubuntu way | 14:14 |
| Sgomes | Alguem sabe configurar uma impressora de rede. | 14:14 |
| Sgomes | ????? | 14:14 |
| neil_d | Russian, you found VirtualBox ? | 14:14 |

| o00w | soundray: yes the directions for apt-offline seem very complicated for a n00b...I only have one shot at doing it correct and it would be frustrating to go home and find that I have assemble it improperly and it will not work...is there a sure-fire way of installing offline apps or does it have to be done using a modified sources list | 14:14 |
| snsone | neil_d: the ip for eth1 is static:81.196.204.1xx | 14:15 |
| jrib | ferronica: I've uploaded your available ande available-old files to http://anapnea.net/~jrib/ . And your error is here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43664/ . You need to ask if someone has a better idea (or strongly opposes) just deleting the "status" line from xcursorgen in your 'available' | 14:15 |
| ihate88 | lol thanks | 14:15 |
| Russian | neil_d: Yes I did jus installed | 14:15 |
| neil_d | Russian, good. see ya | 14:15 |
| b1n42y | does anyone know how to clear ubuntus cache? that is free up memory | 14:15 |
| riaal | I have used ssh-add /path/to/keyfile and then entered the passphrase and now I can connect with out a password, but only from that only terminal window :( How can I make it global? maybe att startup? | 14:15 |
| Sgomes | <ubotu> pois eu estou nos dois, desculpem. | 14:15 |
| ihate88 | then another question: how come r8187 is loaded automatically? is it because the device requests the ft | 14:15 |
| ihate88 | fitting kernel module? | 14:15 |
| Russian | neil_d: tnx again bye | 14:15 |
| neil_d | snsone, ok have you the static IP for eth0 setup now ? | 14:16 |
| soundray | o00w: you mean you don't have access to the computer that's offline at the moment? You just want to download all the packages you need for connecting through wifi? | 14:16 |

| ScorpKing | o00w: there is apt-zip ;) | 14:17 |
| snsone | neil_d: no because the internet won't work | 14:17 |
| IdleOne | ihate88: i think you might be better asking those questions in #ubuntu-dev but I might be wrong | 14:17 |
| havchr | Anyone else noticed ridiculous large memory leaks with opengl and latest ati drivers?. glClear per frame seems to eat up megabytes of RAM in seconds. | 14:17 |
| ^robertj | how do you change a partition type on a dos partition table after its already ben created | 14:17 |
| ihate88 | i think you are wrong - would be weird asking in the developers chan, how the automatical load of drivers work | 14:18 |
| Gin | whenever firefox use flash vids, it sucks all the cpu resources and becomes slow :( | 14:18 |
| Blinny | ^robertj: use fdisk /dev/{WHATEVERDEVICE} and use option 't' on the partitions. | 14:18 |
| o00w | soundray: yes the laptop in question is at my house and I have a connection here at work...I was hoping to take the app home with me and install it on my laptop so I could connect to a wireless connection I don't control at my local coffee shop | 14:18 |
| Wisteso | sorry to hear that | 14:18 |
| ferronica | jrib: what next i do? | 14:18 |
| neil_d | snsone, the eth1 ip is odd. do you have some sort of ADSL card in the computer ? | 14:18 |
| soundray | o00w: what version of ubuntu on the laptop? | 14:18 |
| ferronica | jrib: reinstall ubuntu or what ? | 14:18 |
| IdleOne | ihate88: agreed . like I side I might be wrong. | 14:19 |
| snsone | neil_d: actually eth1 get's the internet directly from a server downstairs | 14:19 |

| Russian | neil_d: Can I boot my existing Windows XP on the Virtual machine, or do I need to install it all over (Because I am currently booting between XP and Ubuntu? | 14:20 |
| neil_d | snsone, you must have a direct internet IP and not be using a NAT router. I hope your firewall is setup well. | 14:21 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: What about reading the Ubuntu Code of Conduct? | 14:21 |
| soundray | bullgard4: do you have an issue with my conduct? | 14:21 |
| Blinny | Pici: Thank you. | 14:21 |
| Makedonas | Hi guys, like everyone I need a little help. Just installed gutsy (installed over vista, no partitions etc. it's using my whole drive) and when I try to start I get 'Kernel Panic' Should I just reinstall? | 14:21 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: Yes I do. | 14:21 |
| snsone | neil_d: actually firestarter says that the device eth1 is not ready | 14:22 |
| waterloo_sunset | thing is the driver i need will have to be downloaded from the nvidia site. The nvidia-glx driver which the HOWTO guide recommends causes the comp to hang on the login screen or i get a blank screen | 14:22 |
| soundray | bullgard4: shall we take this private? | 14:22 |
| bullgard4 | I do not mind to talk privately. | 14:22 |
| Makedonas | anyone that can help me? | 14:22 |
| Makedonas | for anyone that missed it, I installed from the livecd, and now Im getting 'kernel panic' | 14:23 |
| md5sum | anybody have any clue (I'm running 7.04) why I have a wlan0, my card should work by default (actiontec high rate wireless minipci), by even when next to the AP I show no networks at all... I can see networks in the OTHER OS in the same physical location | 14:23 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel panic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 14:23 |
| neil_d | snsone, I think when you are setting up the static IP for eth0 it is affecting your /etc/resolve.conf and you are lossing connection to you DNS servers. | 14:23 |
| jrib | ferronica: no, I made my suggestion, but I am not sure it is the best thing you can do so I said you should ask someone else to weigh in on it | 14:23 |
| waterloo_sunset | the restricted driver manager and envy didn't work for me, it's a known issue with geforce2 integrated gpu | 14:23 |
| soundray | bullgard4: you're not responding -- do you prefer to talk publicly? | 14:24 |
| snsone | neil_d: yes, that's it :D i noticed it | 14:24 |
| Paddy_EIRE | soundray, bullgard4> I do not mind to talk privately. | 14:24 |
| neil_d | snsone, could there be a DHCP server running on the XP ? | 14:24 |

| snsone | neil_d: nope | 14:25 |
| Paddy_EIRE | soundray, he may be using translation tools | 14:25 |
| waterloo_sunset | so after i download NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8776-pkg1.run from the nvidia site, what do i do next? | 14:25 |
| Blinny | Pici: Is there a way short of stopping networking and/or unplugging to force use of the CD as the source? | 14:25 |
| soundray | Paddy_EIRE: I've read that, but a) bullgard4 is not responding to pm, and b) I'm not sure what he means | 14:25 |
| jrib | ferronica: understand? | 14:25 |
| Blinny | Pici: I have added the CD to the sources.list using apt-cdrom | 14:25 |

| Paddy_EIRE | bullgard4, what seems to be the problem | 14:27 |
| b1n42y | u tell him | 14:27 |
| bullgard4 | Paddy_EIRE: soundray makes unjustified suggestions. | 14:28 |
| b1n42y | demian: try add panel | 14:28 |
| b1n42y | erm add to panel | 14:28 |
| neil_d | snsone, are you using the computer at the moment ? | 14:28 |
| demian | No the log out button is there, and I can suspend and hibernate... but not shut down | 14:28 |
| soundray | bullgard4: this is offtopic here. Let's discuss in #ubuntu-classroom | 14:28 |
| c4liforNia | bulmer did that .. it belongs to root | 14:29 |
| b1n42y | demian: button gone or not working | 14:29 |
| c4liforNia | but as i said i tried to copy it using "sudo cp" | 14:29 |
| bulmer | c4liforNia-> what is the permission? | 14:29 |
| Shapeshifter | If I'm using gksudo instead of sudo (which we all should apparently use now) I don't have any autocompletition (TAB) on command names. e.g. "sudo ge{tab}" gives me "sudo gedit". "gksudo ge{tab}" just gives me a system beep. Why? | 14:29 |
| demian | gone | 14:29 |
| c4liforNia | root level | 14:29 |
| Pici | c4liforNia: copying a file retains its permissions, if you need to use gksudo gedit filename or sudo nano filename to edit it. | 14:30 |
| Blinny | If I'm doing an offline install of packages, do I need to comment out the network sources in /etc/apt/sources.list ? I'm getting the error: "Unable to fetch some archives" | 14:30 |
| demian | I've been searching and I found someone with a similar problem but with kubuntu | 14:30 |
| bulmer | c4liforNia-> what is the permission? can you paste it? am guessing, on what you think it may be | 14:30 |
| Pici | Shapeshifter: Sounds like a bug. | 14:30 |
| b1n42y | right click panel and add to panel green man ..is the only way i know | 14:30 |
| waterloo_sunset | is this what am lookin for: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 14:30 |
| Russian | how do I navigate to here: /home/russian/.VirtualBox/VDI/Virtual XP.vdi | 14:30 |
| Paddy_EIRE | bullgard4, I have seen absolutely no unjustified suggestions made by soundray at all | 14:30 |
| Shapeshifter | Pici: do you know if it's already known, or should I have a look and maybe report it? | 14:31 |
| Paddy_EIRE | bullgard4, how about telling me what the problem is.. | 14:31 |
| bullgard4 | Paddy_EIRE: But I. | 14:31 |
| Pici | Shapeshifter: You're going to have to take a look, sorry. | 14:31 |
| b1n42y | demian: try that until u find out what happened | 14:31 |
| c4liforNia | im not too familiar with linux.. i right-clicked the file and under "permissions" it says "root" | 14:31 |
| c4liforNia | what do you mean by "paste it" ? | 14:31 |
| Pici | c4liforNia: Did you see my suggestion? | 14:31 |
| Shapeshifter | Pici: K | 14:31 |
| Russian | Pici: how do I navigate to here and delete it: /home/russian/.VirtualBox/VDI/Virtual XP.vdi | 14:31 |
| c4liforNia | yes but as i said before i tried using "sudo cp" | 14:32 |
| bulmer | c4liforNia-> on a command line, type ls -la | 14:32 |
| demian | b1n42y, I am... thought maybe someone here knows | 14:32 |
| Pici | c4liforNia: And like I said, cp retains permissions when copying, so you copied it, but its still owned by root. | 14:32 |
| Russian | Pici: nvm Solved :) | 14:32 |
| Pici | Russian: :) | 14:32 |
| bulmer | c4liforNia-> and then the perms is on the 1st column _rwxrw-rw something | 14:32 |
| b1n42y | demian: ya lots of questions around ....you might have to wait a while | 14:32 |
| neil_d | is there a command line program that will change the time zone like the clock applet does. | 14:33 |
| demian | It's not a big deal.. just anoying :) | 14:33 |
| ferronica | Pici: help | 14:33 |
| b1n42y | demian: you could also remove the existing applet and add it back in ? | 14:33 |
| Pici | neil_d: I believe `sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata` dpes | 14:33 |
| Pici | neil_d: does rather, | 14:33 |
| c4liforNia | pici no its not copied | 14:34 |
| b1n42y | demian: ya i know im like that as well | 14:34 |
| c4liforNia | it says "file or directory not found" | 14:34 |
| c4liforNia | bulmer there is no "_rwxrw-rw" | 14:34 |
| bulmer | c4liforNia-> on a terminal? you did type ls -la ? | 14:34 |
| neil_d | Pici, tried that but it doesn't take arguments, and uses a gui. | 14:35 |
| c4liforNia | yes | 14:35 |
| c4liforNia | there are columns with "_rw-----" etc | 14:35 |
| bulmer | c4liforNia-> are you on windows? heehhe | 14:35 |
| paolino__ | hi. i need to install some drivers which compile only on 2.6.16-17 kernel versions . the newest version of kubuntu has kernel 2.6.22. in order to make the drivers working, is it better to have an older version of kubuntu with 2.6.17 kernel or the last version with a downgraded kernel ? | 14:35 |
| Pici | neil_d: really? odd. | 14:35 |
| LjL | Pici, 'cp' doesn't preserve ownership unless you give the appropriate --preserve option | 14:35 |
| c4liforNia | bulmer this pc is running windows yes | 14:35 |

| neil_d | LjL, so can I affect the time zone from the command line ? | 14:38 |
| c4liforNia | bulmer i know .. i browsed for that file and was able to open it | 14:38 |

| LjL | neil_d: well, yes. but i'm not sure i'm getting it, cannot you use that text-mode interface that dpkg-reconfigure uses? | 14:39 |
| LjL | neil_d: keep in mind i just joined so i may have missed something | 14:39 |
| neil_d | LjL, I am trying to do this from a script. | 14:39 |
| c4liforNia | also when i tried to open the file with nano it wasnt showing the content | 14:40 |
| LjL | neil_d: ah, uhm... you see, i was thinking that ยซ dpkg-reconfigure debconf ยป allows you to use readline instead of dialog to change debconf options - but that will affect the entire system, so it's definitely not the right thing to do if you just want a script | 14:40 |
| mrsno | !tell mrsno it doesn't work | 14:40 |

| jorvis | LjL: thanks, but the newest thing I see on that page is for 7.04 | 14:53 |

| LjL | jorvis: but just using the restricted manager fails for you? | 14:54 |
| jorvis | LjL: I installed ubuntu for the first time yesterday, so I don't even know how to get to the restricted manager | 14:54 |
| mofux | i think i have a clue why many guys get those "MESA" errors | 14:55 |
| Russian | LjL: I get the following error in virtualbox --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43667/ | 14:55 |
| LjL | jorvis, from that very page i gave you: As of Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) the recommended way to install the binary driver is to open System Settings KMenu โ System Settings, go to the Advanced tab and click Restricted Drivers. Then click the Administrator Mode button and check the box marked Enable to install the driver. This should install the right package for your card and set it up for you. | 14:55 |
| LjL | jorvis: err not the kubuntu version though | 14:55 |
| jorvis | LjL: sorry, I ignore that because I didn't think I was using Kubuntu | 14:55 |
| mofux | after installing the fglrx driver somehow the module cannot be loaded / found, after doing a sudo insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/volatile/fglrx.ko however it works like a charme | 14:56 |
| home_ | when enable desktop effects it shows "composite extension is not available" what shall i do? | 14:56 |
| LjL | jorvis: you're quite right, that wiki page is missing something. namely, the correct instructions. hold on | 14:56 |
| mofux | also the crashing and hanging is gone | 14:56 |
| home_ | when enable desktop effects it shows "composite extension is not available" what shall i do? | 14:56 |
| LjL | jorvis, the instructions are the same as for 7.04 using restricted manager. it just doesn't say that they're valid for 7.10 :| | 14:56 |
| Russian | LjL: So how do I fix that? | 14:56 |
| jorvis | LjL: thanks ... just offering the problems a new/naive user gets. :) | 14:56 |
| mofux | home_, do you use fglrx driver? | 14:57 |
| home_ | no | 14:57 |
| mofux | what gfx card to you have? | 14:57 |
| home_ | xgl driver | 14:57 |
| mofux | xgl is not a driver | 14:57 |
| home_ | ho | 14:57 |
| LjL | Russian, it tell you that you should be in the "vboxusers" group. why don't you just do that, instead of changing files' permissions? i mean, it never tells you to change file permissions. to add yourself to the vboxusers group, you can use the GUI or, from the CLI, ยซ sudo adduser your-user-name vboxusers ยป | 14:58 |
| LjL | Russian: then re-login | 14:58 |
| home_ | but when i give glxgears | 14:58 |

| ray_ | i didnt put my screen resolution at the end of the command if that is what i was suposed to do | 15:02 |
| heydabop | Do I need to forcevideo or something? | 15:02 |
| LjL | ray_, the easiest way, if you don't have your monitor's specifications handy, is to select "Intermediate" (or "Medium", or what it's called) mode when it asks about refresh rates and monitor parameters -- and then select the highest resolution that you know your monitor can support, at the highest refresh rate that it supports | 15:02 |
| LjL | and no higher | 15:02 |

| jorvis | LjL: it seems to have worked. When I run glxgears now I get around 10,000 fps, but this is about half of what I get when I restart into gentoo. Is there more I can do to make this better? | 15:03 |
| LjL | jorvis, glxgears is NOT a benchmark, and it should only be used as an indication of whether or not you have hardware acceleration working. get GLOBS if you want a benchmark. | 15:04 |
| ray_ | ljl: can i get that command one more time | 15:04 |
| LjL | jorvis: GLOBS is not in the repositories, but i believe an Ubuntu package is available upstream | 15:04 |
| mofux | thanks guys, seems like it worked | 15:04 |
| LjL | ray_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to only get the basic resolution questions) | 15:04 |

| LjL | bert_, i don't believe kopete even comes with an apparmor profile, currently. are you sure it's not your *router* you should open those ports in? | 15:11 |
| bullgard4 | Paddy_EIRE: We had a discussion, and this discussion can be the basis of a fruitful future to the benefit of both of us and of Ubuntu. | 15:11 |
| Paddy_EIRE | bullgard4, you never actually told me what the problem was though mate :) | 15:11 |

| felixruina | Filip: once you copy it back, it will even keep many of the settings for you programs | 15:13 |

| Raph | felixruina: it is cinelerra installed with compilation ! | 15:18 |
| felixruina | Raph: okay, then you'll probably have to create your own menu item | 15:18 |
| felixruina | Raph: you can do that by going to System--Preferences--Main Menu and adding a custom launcher | 15:19 |
| manchicken_ | Has anybody used the "Simple Backup Config" and "Simple Backup Restore" programs? | 15:19 |

| soundray | bullgard4: I have the same NIC. Here, too, both drivers load, and it works fine. Have you looked at dmesg for any clues? | 15:27 |
| manchicken_ | monzie: If you want to build KDE4 then you're going to need to follow the instructions that the KDE folks provide, which includes building your own soprano in its own path. | 15:27 |
| manchicken_ | ManuP: Good luck :) | 15:28 |
| monzie | manchicken_: yup i did. | 15:28 |

| Pici | wereHamster: yes. | 15:29 |
| ferronica | Pici: ya i did | 15:29 |
| manchicken_ | monzie: Building KDE4 is a nasty process. It's huge and their instructions are far from simple. We have some KDE4 binaries in the repositories if you're just wanting to play around, but building KDE4 takes a very long time and it's hard to get right. | 15:29 |

| manchicken_ | monzie: That's very likely. The build instructions are very complicated, so it's very easy to get just the tiniest little thing wrong. Also, make sure you double-check what cmake is pointing to as far as libraries and headers before you actually run the build. | 15:31 |
| Paddy_EIRE | bullgard4, from what I hear there are issues when upgrading from feisty to gutsy in which the -generic kernel is replaced with the -i386 kernel... try using the generic again | 15:31 |

| tadzik | anyone knows how to set automatic ip and dns on ubuntu? | 15:35 |
| soundray | bullgard4: to go to the -generic kernel as Paddy_EIRE suggests, you have to 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic', then reboot, select the generic kernel option at the grub stage, then do a 'sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.22-14-386' (the latter so you don't have to make that grub choice on each boot) | 15:35 |
| Paddy_EIRE | bullgard4, Ok.. enter this into a terminal 'sudo aptitude install linux-image-generic' then reboot to new kernel and we will continue on from there | 15:36 |
| soundray | bullgard4: can you disable your soundcard in the BIOS setup? | 15:36 |

| axisys | when I swithc to external monitor with compiz on the apps screen/gui dont expan to full screen size.. it thinks it is still using the laptop screen size.. if i turn off compiz I can expand the gui/screen of any app (i.e. ff, thunderbird) | 15:51 |
| axisys | something of a compiz-fusion bug ? or some setting missing ? | 15:52 |

| Artexani1 | Hi there, is there somebody who can help me getting Gutsy on my LAN? I am trying for 2 days now, but nothing seems to work | 15:54 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: To be more precise, neither Ethernet nor Internet. | 15:54 |
| soundray | bullgard4: okay, I guess the next step will be to try pci=noacpi as a boot option, if you suspect a resource conflict. | 15:54 |
| bullgard4 | soundray: Ok, will do. | 15:55 |
| eljak | elZi, when i click on obex file transfer it turns into obex:// | 15:55 |
| soundray | bullgard4: although I would boot the old kernel to make sure that isn't your shortest path to an Ethernet connection that will let you install the current -generic kernel | 15:55 |
| elZi | listen, im sorry. but i got to go. ill try using konqueror, thank you very much | 15:55 |

| MikeD | Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows how to enable PAE in Ubuntu Server 6.10LTS *without* compiling the kernel? | 16:30 |
| scottpc | Good morning everyone! | 16:30 |
| Hex2 | Flux-D: no, desktop at the moment, you think its worth installing the server edition rather than attempting to unstiall the X system? | 16:30 |
| b1n42y | ferronica_: goto synaptic and right click and reinstall (so am I) | 16:30 |
| MikeD | I need to address 4GB of memory and top is only seeing 2GB | 16:30 |
| stefg | waterloo_sunset: so why not stay with it. if that's an old notebook, you'll not gain anything from the proprietary driver, except that it may bust supend-to-ram. Compiz won't run anyway | 16:30 |
| b1n42y | ferronica_: do a search for it 1st obviously | 16:30 |
| oioiii | hex2: already changed to black, but after the login manager has loaded and I logged in it will still be orange | 16:30 |
| eljak | oioiii, i dont use gnome but it should be something like login manager settings | 16:30 |
| Flux-D | Hex2: if its doing its job as an irc server, I dont think u would need gui, assuming u can edit files thru command line | 16:31 |
| waterloo_sunset | atleast i'll get 1280X1024... | 16:31 |

| Whitor | Hi, after upgrading to Gutsy, I can no longer Ctrl-Alt-F1 to a terminal.... any ideas ? | 16:31 |
| scottpc | I've got something I can't figure out. I've downloaded a .bin file - an executable which is supposed to put realplayer 10 onto my ubuntu gutsy machine - but it doesn't recognise it as a valid installer. | 16:31 |
| stefg | waterloo_sunset: read the message from ubotu. even with nv you'll get a proper reso | 16:31 |
| TW_ | no one reply me? | 16:31 |
| scottpc | What do I do? | 16:31 |
| Hex2 | Flux-D: correct, but after talking to others, they suggested [as its a old pc] to not run the X system, to free up system resources, if you follow, sorry if im seeming a little ..open | 16:31 |
| stefg | Whitor: known bug. | 16:32 |
| ferronica_ | b1n42y: okay reinstalled xcursorgen | 16:32 |
| MikeD | Does anyone know how to get Ubuntu Server 6.10LTS to see more than 2GB without compiling the kernel?? Thanks in advance. MikeD | 16:32 |
| waterloo_sunset | oh hold on, sorry i meant am on vesa | 16:32 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, what about another window manager? something like fluxbox would use minimal resources | 16:32 |
| dcstimm | dimeotane, nope I am using accelerated nvidia | 16:32 |
| Dr_willis | scottpc, chmod +x whatever.bin ./whatever.bin | 16:32 |
| waterloo_sunset | nv doesn't support older cards right? | 16:32 |
| b1n42y | ferronica_: now try to uninstall something useless | 16:32 |
| stefg | waterloo_sunset: run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 16:32 |
| Hex2 | Dimitriid: sounds good, how would i go about that, looking in the Synaptic thingy, and installing it? | 16:33 |
| stefg | waterloo_sunset: nv is fine for your card | 16:33 |
| TW_ | zzz' | 16:33 |
| oioiii | eljak: there is system > administration > login window preferences but thats already switched to black | 16:33 |
| MikeD | I need to address 4GB of memory and top is only seeing 2GB. Any ideas? | 16:33 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, not sure if its in synaptics ( my gusty laptop its at my gf ) but | 16:33 |
| ferronica_ | b1n42y: same problem :( | 16:33 |
| b1n42y | ferronica_: feq | 16:33 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, how old is your hardware? You might benefit more from a different distro altogheter | 16:33 |
| Hex2 | Dimitriid: yea it came up, it doesnt seem to say that it will uninstall X..or stop etc | 16:34 |
| friedrich | MikeD, does BIOS show all 4G | 16:34 |
| wereHamster | argh, 7.10 doesn't have the colemak keyboard layout :( | 16:34 |
| friedrich | ? | 16:34 |
| genii | MikeD: PAE is for MORE than 4Gb.Also in server kernel PAE is on by default. Bad ram is most likely | 16:34 |
| waterloo_sunset | stefg: i clicked on no on that installer prompt.......now it says: this means the installer will have to compile a new kernal interface | 16:34 |
| Hex2 | Dimitriid: it failed on the update to 7.10 >.< its a rang of old computers, it dod before run XP though | 16:34 |
| b1n42y | ferronica_: try #debian with that last error paste | 16:34 |
| stefg | waterloo_sunset: bail out of that with ctrl-c | 16:34 |
| sint | hey, anyone knows where to place themes for gkrellm in ubuntu? | 16:34 |
| b1n42y | ferronica_: sorry mate im out of ideas | 16:34 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, well you could always try puppylinux or damn small linux, it should be a very small download and can run as livecd or usb key | 16:34 |
| eljak | oioiii, am using xfce under it, it is called splash screen | 16:35 |
| MikeD | friedrich: I'm pretty confident that it does, though I can't check right now as it's in live use. Due to be swapped out shortly for the old server so I can fix a couple of issues. | 16:35 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, they can power machines as old as the original pentium i think | 16:35 |
| mediabuntu | whats this โโคโโโ@โโโผโบโ-โโโฝโโโผ:ยท$ | 16:35 |
| oioiii | eljak: thx, will try this | 16:35 |
| wereHamster | colemak is an alternative keyboard layout.. llike dvorak | 16:35 |
| MikeD | Cheers Genni | 16:35 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, another option is fluxbuntu but im not sure how lightweight that is | 16:35 |
| Aondo | wereHamster is it good? | 16:35 |
| friedrich | MikeD, usually top shows as much memory as system has if it's not VM with restricted memory amount. | 16:35 |
| Hex2 | Dimitriid: i thought of that, but as i want settings for the IRC and the addons for it all settings etc, and i only have 'good' experiance in ubuntu, i installed that, it jsut seems a lol slow | 16:35 |
| scottpc | Dr Willis - I did try some permissions stuff in the properties, sudo chmod 755, and that one | 16:36 |

| Nero^ | hello world | 16:36 |

| scottpc | still - i double-click, and nothing | 16:36 |
| friedrich | If I remember you can restrict it with xen-kernel. | 16:36 |
| Dr_willis | scottpc, it just needs to be made executable then RUN IT from the terminal.. dont just click on it | 16:36 |
| mediabuntu | :) :( | 16:36 |
| Bakefy | Hello, I am attempting to mount a SMB drive and can not get it to work in fstab | 16:36 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, you tried xubuntu yet? It can make a difference and is officially supported along with ubuntu, fluxbuntu its also fairly close to ubuntu | 16:36 |
| wereHamster | Aondo, excelent :) | 16:36 |
| waterloo_sunset | stefg: isn't that done when u don't have a working xorg.conf? | 16:36 |

| sethk | Caleb_Estartes, you had admin access, and now don't? | 16:42 |
| scottpc | so I can't run RealPlayer? | 16:42 |

| Bakefy | thanks Dr_willis | 16:43 |
| Dr_willis | I though realplayer got replaced by somthing newer..... | 16:43 |
| Hex2 | Bakefy: spaces are like / so if my folder is 'My Documents' its /home/user/My \Documents/ | 16:43 |
| sethk | Caleb_Estartes, I don't have an idea of why it changed. I mostly do admin from the command line. However, I'd suggest starting the admin GUI program from the command line preceded by sudo. | 16:43 |
| Dr_willis | Bakefy, spaces must be 'escaped' with the proper use of the \ like Hex2 just showed. so its an annoyance. :) | 16:43 |

| CosmicB | wels: issue try 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' from a terminal, that give you your dns config, then try pinging your dns servers, do you get a reply ? | 16:51 |

| friedrich | TW_, vsftpd | 16:53 |
| Hex2 | Dimitriid: not sure if your still there/free, i installed fluxbox, and rebooted as it the 'Default Session' but as i have a auto login to my name..i dont think it did, this looks exactly the same as X | 16:53 |
| stefg | TW_: how much ram do you have ? | 16:53 |
| friedrich | simple and stable | 16:53 |
| TW_ | bout 256, im running a windows 2003 with filezilla fine | 16:53 |
| FluxD | wow | 16:53 |
| TW_ | but wishes to run a Linux system | 16:53 |
| TW_ | it would do better | 16:53 |
| TW_ | old server la >< | 16:54 |
| TW_ | but good | 16:54 |
| CosmicB | wels: hum, I'm lost | 16:54 |
| TW_ | i just wanna make it for my company file server | 16:54 |
| FluxD | I didnt know win2k3 ran on p2 | 16:54 |
| TW_ | the files are just bout 1mb per file | 16:54 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, what do you mean the same as x | 16:54 |
| jstarcher_ | why is it that I can ping my LAN computers but not WAN dns like google.com or the like? I have the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf too | 16:54 |
| TW_ | haha :d | 16:54 |
| TW_ | yea win2k3 svr r2 | 16:54 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, same as regular x with nothing else on it? | 16:54 |
| TW_ | ran on my p2 | 16:54 |
| TW_ | in my company | 16:54 |
| Hex2 | Dimitriid: i do not notice any differnce in the screen i am looking at now, as the one before i rebooted | 16:54 |
| FluxD | TW_: then ubuntu will probably run good I am guessing | 16:54 |
| chamunks | someone know a program that would write id3 tags to the filenames? | 16:55 |
| Hex2 | same icons, files etc | 16:55 |
| arijus | jonasj: I was bussy for a bit. So, here is the problem. I can't load game Frets On Fire. I'm sure it's a problem with sound. | 16:55 |
| stefg | TW_: that's enough. i'd recommend xubuntu 7.04 as a base (alternate install) and then vsftpd on top as the server | 16:55 |
| SPSD | with ubuntu 7.04 it installed fine and worked perfectly, i upgraded to 7.10 and it wont detect my cable internet connection, do i need to enter my IP info manually or does it not recognize the same drivers that it could in 7.04? | 16:55 |
| TW_ | hmm | 16:55 |
| TW_ | xubuntu, lemme check | 16:55 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, what about the speed? Also did you changed the default session before logging in? | 16:55 |
| TW_ | btw | 16:55 |
| TW_ | my svr has 2 processor | 16:55 |
| CosmicB | wels: my second thought would be firewall, but you don't have any. Are you really sure your torrents work ? and that you don't have any firewall ? | 16:55 |
| chamunks | so incase theres some random file that has .mp3.mp3.mp3 or some other obscure filename it can be made to go away in a batch job | 16:55 |
| help_me_pls | stegh | 16:55 |
| TW_ | 2 CPU | 16:55 |
| stefg | Tw_ but don't use gitsy. you'll run into probs with the old cpu and the new tickless kernel | 16:55 |
| SirBob1701 | anyone want to give me a clue on how to fix this (i get it when i try do do anything with apt or aptitude) The package cdi2iso is not ok and I don't know how to fix it! | 16:55 |
| FluxD | 2 p2? | 16:55 |
| TW_ | yea | 16:55 |
| TW_ | 2 cores | 16:56 |
| jonasj | arijus: what happens? | 16:56 |
| Hex2 | Dimitriid: its a Automatic logon, and yes i did change it, to seems alot faster, but that may just be me | 16:56 |
| wels | CosmicB: Yes I'm sure. I'm downloading right now without any problem, and thats the only thing I can do | 16:56 |
| help_me_pls | stefg* | 16:56 |
| TW_ | =2 p2 | 16:56 |
| wels | CosmicB: The wired network works without any problem | 16:56 |
| TW_ | hmm | 16:56 |
| wels | CosmicB: The wireless worked fine in the morning, and now its acting like this... | 16:56 |
| arijus | jonasj: nothing. I'm just trying to load a game, i can see it in system monitor, but now window pops up at all | 16:56 |
| TW_ | xubuntu is a good thing? | 16:56 |
| help_me_pls | so how do i get nvidia-glx-new? | 16:56 |
| FluxD | TW_: its really lightweighy | 16:56 |
| TW_ | so i just get xubuntu, and get a ftp server with no-ip possible? | 16:56 |
| jonasj | arijus: i'm the wrong person to ask, i've never tried that game... | 16:56 |
| CosmicB | wels: ok, wired works from ubuntu, but not wireless ? | 16:56 |
| TW_ | cos i just need to install | 16:56 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, try to check the menus on rightclick to desktop, applications all that. I know from experience that Ubuntu likes to install a different manager but keep using most gnome stuff anyway | 16:57 |
| TW_ | a FTP server and a no-ip server updater | 16:57 |
| wels | CosmicB: Yeah.. | 16:57 |
| arijus | jonasj: i think that's the problem with ALSA | 16:57 |
| arijus | jonasj: not the game | 16:57 |
| SPSD | with ubuntu 7.04 it installed fine and worked perfectly, i upgraded to 7.10 and it wont detect my cable internet connection, do i need to enter my IP info manually or does it not recognize the same drivers that it could in 7.04? | 16:57 |
| jonasj | does sound work in other apps? | 16:57 |
| stefg | help_me_pls: you did install ubuntu wen you were offline, right? | 16:57 |
| arijus | jonasj: the game is just a reason i noticed the problem :) | 16:57 |
| orangey | hey all! | 16:57 |

| FluxD | TW_: u need to get a client that works on linux thoug for noip | 16:57 |
| jstarcher_ | any idea why I cannot ping domains? http://pb.theoverclocked.com/224 | 16:57 |
| Hex2 | Dimitriid: x-session-manager is running, i cant see anything in the process list with flux in the name, on repsonce to the rightclick on desktop, looks exactly the same | 16:57 |
| jonasj | arijus, does sound work in other apps? | 16:58 |
| jamiejackson | sethk, thx for zsh. using it now | 16:58 |

| FluxD | help_me_pls: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/misc/nvidia-glx-new | 16:58 |
| help_me_pls | and the installation continued | 16:58 |
| arijus | jonasj: if i launch it with OSS | 16:58 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, you are likely still on gnome then. give me a sec | 16:58 |

| SPSD | anyone know where i can find a ethernet card driver list for ubuntu? maybe even a list of the ones that were available in 7.04 and not in 7.10? or a forum topic completely based on internet connection problems? | 17:03 |
| Dr_willis | TW_, most of that should get done automaticially. Theres network config and other tools included in xubuntu i belive. | 17:03 |
| Dimitriid | Hex2, actually im not sure, the main thing is to stop GDM and gnome then start just fluxbox but not sure if that would work like that over ssh | 17:03 |
| TW_ | hmm for a P2? | 17:03 |
| Dr_willis | TW_, ive ran ubuntu on a Pent 1 | 17:03 |
| Hex2 | Dimitriid: no harm in trying ;) | 17:03 |
| TW_ | xunbutu? | 17:03 |
| stefg | !xubuntu | 17:03 |
| ubotu | xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels | 17:03 |
| DocRohith | wels: i heard your problem with WiFi. Sounds like you might have a DNS issue.. check your dns server address | 17:03 |
| Dr_willis | TW_, the core of the OS is the same for xubnut, ubuntu, ect.... the guis are just different. | 17:04 |
| TW_ | hmm | 17:04 |
| TW_ | what shld i use | 17:04 |
| TW_ | xubuntu or what? | 17:04 |
| Dr_willis | TW_, i ran Ubuntu on a pent 1, 100 system (and yes it was slow) | 17:04 |
| maek | If i add a backports repo do I have to do anything fancy to install from it, or to keep it from updating all my pkgs? | 17:04 |
| TW_ | as i said just need it for a FTP server | 17:04 |
| wels | DocRohith: The DNS server is correct | 17:04 |
| Dr_willis | TW_, use what you want. :) you could use the 'server edition' and use just the shell. | 17:04 |
| TW_ | and to install a no-ip software updater | 17:04 |
| Bakefy | The_Machine: Sent. | 17:04 |
| DocRohith | wels: what are u getting for ping result? | 17:04 |

| Hex2 | Dimitriid: darn i cant start it, back in 10, time to run to the office :D | 17:05 |
| Dr_willis | TW_, if you watn to run a 'server' - its a VERY good idea to start learning the command line. | 17:05 |
| wels | DocRohith: When I tried to ping the router, it says destination host unreachable.. and the from IP it shows is wrong | 17:05 |
| scampbell | Is it possible to configure ubuntu 7.10 graphical software installer to use a proxy server? | 17:05 |

| erlingre | When I type about:plugins in Firefox I get a list of the MIME-types each plugin handles. Totem handles WMV/WMA, but unfortunately the MIME-type audio/ms-x-wma is not listed therefore Firefox requests that a new plugin is downloaded even if Totem can handle this format. Do you know how I can add more MIME-types that a plugin handles in Firefox? | 17:07 |
| Dr_willis | TW_, if you want the most controll/max resources use the serverer edition. and just install the services you need. But ftp is not that intensive a service. | 17:07 |

| Hex2 | Dimitriid: ..gimmie a sec on that | 17:18 |
| hairulfr | WindowSmasher: Wtf.... :S | 17:19 |
| WindowSmasher | Pici: sethk tells me it's easy | 17:19 |
| Barbarello | hi | 17:19 |

| WindowSmasher | I will continue to look for way of modifying grub to my liking | 17:20 |
| kelsin | WindowSmasher: look up info, but you just have to create any graphic you want with the right parameters (convert on the command line can help convert any graphic easy) then use the write splash command in the grub.conf | 17:20 |

| DocRohith | last call... anyone with sony laptop wwan card, interested in getting it to work. plz PM me... | 17:33 |

| Arv3n | Can anyone help me? I change to the "nv" driver, and it gives me screen out of range or something like that. NVIDIA and VESA work fine! | 17:34 |

| Arv3n | Of course. | 17:34 |

| TW_ | can i show folders on different places | 17:35 |
| TW_ | and not a whole folder | 17:35 |
| TW_ | do u have msn? | 17:35 |
| new2linx | Arv3n: nv driver is inferior to nvidia driver so what do you want the nv driver? | 17:35 |
| bluefox83 | Arv3n, load the nv module, and let you start X without the Nvidia driver | 17:35 |
| Makedonas | sorry, downloading the cd isnt a problem, just havent got any media to burn it to at the moment... | 17:35 |
| DocRohith | new2linux.. clarification WWAN, not WLAN | 17:35 |
| Arv3n | Nevermind, I'll just use the nvidia driver. | 17:35 |
| EdgEy | Makedonas, if you are a new user, probably not something within your ability, you would have to mess around a lot i doubt there's an automated way to replace x64 with x86 | 17:35 |
| Dr_willis | Lunks, i thought you could set those from the properties/right click menu. Or set a Drive Label for them. I havent messed with that stuff in ages. :) | 17:35 |
| Makedonas | EdgEy: fair enough | 17:35 |
| new2linx | DocRohith: don't even know what WWAN card is? | 17:35 |

| Makedonas | Also: is there a way I can fit a livecd onto a usb instead? | 17:36 |

| genii | new2linx: Attansic L1 Gigabit lan driver. Drivername is atl0.ko The source code to make the driver is on the Asus cdrom. But as i think I've explained it's all geared for Redhat to make their rpm of it to install the driver. the source code does not have Debian/Ubuntu options/pathnames/library names and no .configure is provided to Debianise the Makefile | 17:36 |
| Mcavity | tmakedonas I think theres ahlep file for puting live cd on usb | 17:36 |
| Dr_willis | Lunks, i toyed with the stuff befor. I think for ext2/3 you can set the label, and it will use that. Not sure for vfat/ntfs | 17:37 |

| TW_ | er dr willis, what i mean, can i set settings like some users can only access this folders and some can only access these folders, these =certain | 17:37 |
| new2linx | Lunks: you actually can set that but you do need ot make sure it's unmounted. if it's a fat partition, here's a guide: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/01/editing-fat32-partition-labels-using-mtools/ | 17:37 |

| Pici | arijus: look into the trickle package and trickled | 17:48 |
| new2linx | jamiejackson: it shouldn't. what types of files are on that partition that is being mounted. what are the mount options? you can issue, "mount" and see what options are used for that mount point. | 17:49 |
| wereHamster | is 10GB enough for / (just the system)? | 17:49 |

| ubotu | kira: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

| Pici | !paste | help_me_pls | 18:42 |
| ubotu | help_me_pls: 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) | 18:42 |
| Pici | help_me_pls: you need to create /mnt/win before you can mount to it. Just `sudo mkdir /mnt/win` | 18:42 |
| Dr_willis_ | joydivision, you mean the installer is asking for a Username/password? or are you refering to after the install? | 18:43 |
| gorgapor | kakoonia, that is a gnome shortcut | 18:43 |
| Pici | wolflord: And in the case you dont know what you're looking at, try googling the username | 18:43 |
| gorgapor | kakoonia, it doesn't work in a console | 18:43 |
| joydivision | Dr_willis_ the installer | 18:43 |
| kakoonia | here it works | 18:43 |

| Dr_willis_ | joydivision, so it wants you to ENTER the initial users username ? and password? DUring the install process it will ask you to create an initial user. | 18:43 |
| kakoonia | and? | 18:44 |

| mediabuntu | root@192.168.1.7's password: | 18:51 |
| not_a_k | levander: i don't think the monitor is at fault. if i swap the monitors the other one will have the problem. | 18:51 |
| levander | joydivision: You're not talking about where it's asking you for a password for the user the install process creates are you? There, it wants you to create a password... Not supply an existing one. | 18:51 |
| chickoo | !wine | 18:51 |
| ubotu | 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. | 18:51 |

| gorgapor | SliM1, you could open them up in audacity and cut them together | 18:51 |
| not_a_k | Scunizi: didn't think I needed it. it's the same physical device. an old radeon with a dvi and vga input | 18:52 |
| mediabuntu | Kl4m: what dose it say when you try and log on. | 18:52 |
| SliM1 | gorgapor: there are like 500 mp3s | 18:52 |
| gorgapor | SliM1, ah, that may be a problem. i would have to research it to know more, sorry | 18:52 |
| Scunizi | not_a_k, well if you want to hook two monitors up at the same time, you've defined the parameters for one but not the other. | 18:52 |
| KANE777 | What info can isp log when i'm using p2p to download stuff? | 18:53 |
| SliM1 | ok, don't worry | 18:53 |
| levander | not_a_k: You have to set up a 2nd monitor manually in xorg.conf, the automated installers don't do it. | 18:53 |
| Pici | mediabuntu: you enabled root's password? | 18:53 |
| Lunar_Lamp | In gnome, how do I get rid of the black lines when I minimise windows? | 18:53 |
| not_a_k | levander: i do have a second monitor section. and i do have fully functional dual screen support. i turn the second one on with xrandr | 18:54 |
| Scunizi | Lunar_Lamp, black lines? | 18:54 |
| levander | Lunar_Lamp: you're talking about the title bar when you say black lines? | 18:54 |
| Lunar_Lamp | Scunizi, no, when I minimise a window, the process of minimising it shows black decreasing rectangles to give a visual indication of the window being minimised | 18:54 |
| Lunar_Lamp | (I don't have compiz turned on) | 18:55 |
| Scunizi | Lunar_Lamp, are you running the effects? | 18:55 |
| eljak | mediabuntu, edit you ssh_config file and set passwordauthentication to no, that might help | 18:55 |
| === joejaxx is now known as whatnickyouwant | ||
| eljak | mediabuntu, also check sshd_config as well | 18:56 |
| === whatnickyouwant is now known as joejaxx | ||
| mediabuntu | Pici: i edited ssh_config and set it to permit root logon | 18:56 |
| Pici | loucas: I *think* the gtweakui package has a program in it to disable that. | 18:56 |
| Pici | mediabuntu: And you unlocked the root account? | 18:56 |
| Kl4m | mediabuntu: it asks for the password. | 18:56 |
| Scunizi | Lunar_Lamp, right out of the box gutsy has effects turned on.. so that might be what you are experiencing.. have you installed compizconfig-settings-manager? | 18:56 |
| Pici | mediabuntu: I strongly suggest not doing that. | 18:56 |
| mediabuntu | Pici: i really need two | 18:57 |

| UndertakerX2 | Is the root password the same pw i use to log in to ubuntu? | 18:57 |
| Scunizi | UndertakerX2, yes | 18:58 |
| legolas-San | Maybe I just missed it, but did Ubuntu not ask about what I wanted to install and rather just installed... everything... by default? I expected a "normal" or "custom" option somewhere in the installer. | 18:58 |
| levander | UndertakerX2: by default, root has no password | 18:58 |
| UndertakerX2 | hmm i figuered so but mines nto working :( | 18:58 |

| legolas-San | Why can't one choose what you don't want? | 18:59 |
| mediabuntu | Pici: im using backuppc. it needs to log on and run a buckup. | 18:59 |
| Pici | mediabuntu: why are you running sudo before ssh? | 18:59 |
| scorp123 | legolas-San: not needed ... Ubuntu comes with a working minimum choice. And you can add more stuff later on if you need or want to. | 18:59 |
| Scunizi | legolas-San, because ubuntu tried to give the best options for people that know nothing about computers and just want the functionality right out of the box.. | 18:59 |

| scorp123 | legolas-San: Your messages don't make much sense. So that should tell you something ;-) | 19:06 |
| Scunizi | irvken, or is it networked. | 19:06 |
| irvken | it's not mounted, it's just attached and switched on | 19:06 |
| Reng | so if the value of FREE is 3985212 menory, this its is equal to 4gb. right? | 19:06 |
| Kl4m | mediabuntu: I solved it. If you want to use backuppc to backup a particular home folder on a linux machine i'll send you ca config file | 19:06 |
| Popolon | http://tukaani.org/lzma/download | 19:06 |
| mediabuntu | hey i have attack , [error] [client 205.251.136.200] Digest: user `mythtv' in realm `MythTV' | 19:06 |
| Popolon | the stable version is the 4.32.3 | 19:06 |
| gorgapor | legolas-San, i think the idea is that they give a basic setup that fulfills the most needs for the most users, and then if you need more or less, it's easy to add or subtract | 19:06 |
| irvken | Scunizi, and on the other side of town | 19:06 |
| legolas-San | Pici: Yeah... a question about Ubuntu is off-topic in a channel called #ubuntu... right... | 19:06 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | well have you even seen a desktop not install calc etc...? | 19:06 |
| gorgapor | legolas-San, ease of installation is valued more than customization at install time | 19:07 |
| Kl4m | !offtopic | legolas-San | 19:07 |
| ubotu | legolas-San: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 19:07 |
| Pici | legolas-San: its not a support question. | 19:07 |
| scorp123 | gorgapor: exactly. 100% agree with you. | 19:07 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | thats how ubuntu was designed if you dont like it customize your own verison of ubuntu | 19:07 |
| legolas-San | gorgapor: And that would be fine, only they force it on you. You can't choose to deselect say GIMP or some other useless app I won't ever use. | 19:07 |
| Pici | legolas-San: you are free to ask about it in #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:07 |
| charlesg3 | are there source packages for all packages? | 19:07 |
| Scunizi | irvken, ahh.... now I'm getting the picture.. you probably have firewalls on each side you'll have to deal with. this is a questions that #ubuntu-server might be able to answer better.. sorry I can't | 19:07 |
| UndertakerX2 | Any good AVI to DVD programs for ubuntu? | 19:07 |
| gorgapor | legolas-San, does your grandmother know whether or not she wants gimp? | 19:07 |
| Pici | charlesg3: most, but not all. | 19:07 |
| irvken | Scunizi, | 19:07 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | most users need certain apps why not install them considering ubuntu cannot satisfy everyone | 19:07 |
| mediabuntu | Kl4m: i actually have it configure its just the ssh side of things it cant connect. (in oder to use the config it has to connect first wright ? | 19:07 |
| Pici | !offtopic | 19:08 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 19:08 |
| mjtunes | how i manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' plz ppeps | 19:08 |
| Ranpha1 | 3 MiB/s network speeds is this fast for a 1 gigabit connection? | 19:08 |
| irvken | no firewalls, I'm inside the box, I just need to know how to identify tyhe device | 19:08 |
| irvken | I can do the rest | 19:08 |
| amishninja | Anyone ever hear of Ubuntu just up and deciding to crash/restart the gnome session? | 19:08 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | why use customize when users first use ubuntu dont know what they need | 19:08 |
| charlesg3 | Pici: I'm searching for pyqt4-dev-tools, for some reason libpythonplugin.so isn't installed, I found the patch here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-qt4/+bug/158342 but am having trouble applying it | 19:08 |
| gorgapor | (thankyou pici) </flamewar> | 19:08 |
| Pici | UBUNTUISLOVED: Please move this to offtopic or cease discussion. | 19:08 |
| Kl4m | login as "backuppc" on your backup host and connect a first time to the machine to backup. You need to say "yes" to the key dialog | 19:08 |
| SpeCon | At ubuntu: When i need to fill in my pasword to install stuff it says that my pasword is NOT correct. When i go to the terminal and i do SU password it works what is the problem ? | 19:08 |
| cookie666 | can anyone help me with a GRUB read error? | 19:08 |
| scorp123 | legolas-San: read above. The sense behind this is that you get a complete system with 1 program for each possible task you may or may not want to do. So yes, they "force" gimp on you, so you at least have one image editing program. If you don't like it ... well it's fairly easy to remove it and/or add other programs later on. | 19:08 |
| Esteth | how do i remove my last gnome-panel? I want to use kicker in gnome, but killall gnome-panel just either spawns me a new one, or crashes back to login :S | 19:08 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | relax i was making a point | 19:08 |
| Kl4m | mediabuntu: if you're root on it , "su backuppc" | 19:08 |
| mediabuntu | Pici: it stikk wants a password root@192.168.1.7's password: | 19:09 |
| Pici | scorp123: This is offtopic. | 19:09 |
| SpeCon | i am root on it in TERMinal | 19:09 |
| scorp123 | Pici: I agree | 19:09 |
| Scunizi | irvken, is the drive networked as in connected via ethernet? or is it usb plugged into something and is that something windows or linux? | 19:09 |
| UndertakerX2 | Any good AVI to DVD programs for ubuntu? | 19:09 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | Hey. does anyone know of any solutions to problems with suspend to disk or ram? i don't have an ati card (no fglrx) | 19:09 |
| Pici | mediabuntu: And if you enter root's password? | 19:09 |
| irvken | it's usb plugged into linux | 19:09 |
| SpeCon | but for synapic i cannot use it because my pass is wrong it said | 19:09 |
| Pici | mediabuntu: does it work? | 19:09 |
| scorp123 | !dvd | UndertakerX2 | 19:09 |
| ubotu | UndertakerX2: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 19:09 |
| irvken | Scunizi, it's usb plugged into linux | 19:09 |
| Pici | SpeCon: you need to enter your password for synaptic, not root's password. | 19:09 |
| UBUNTUISLOVED | look under /media/ directory | 19:09 |
| UndertakerX2 | thanks scorp but as i said i need AVI to DVD, can those apps do that? | 19:09 |
| Scunizi | irvken, and can you ssh or get into that linux box to look at fstab? or do a lsusb? | 19:10 |
| Kl4m | mediabuntu: make a copy of the file .ssh/id_rsa.pub on the backup host, to your machine, named, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 19:10 |
| scorp123 | UndertakerX2: you mean like recording an AVI movie onto a DVD? So you get a DVD movie in the end? | 19:10 |
| Scunizi | irvken, also has that drive been "shared" by the linux box it's plugged into. | 19:10 |
| Kl4m | mediabuntu: I had a problem because the key was not exactly the same, I don't know why. copying the file instead of a copy-paste solved it | 19:10 |
| UndertakerX2 | yeah like Nero | 19:10 |
| Scunizi | irvken, brb | 19:10 |
| waterloo_sunset | can someone quickly point out what is wrong with this command: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers$(uname -r) | 19:10 |
| UndertakerX2 | but something faster if possible more like WinAVI | 19:11 |
| Kl4m | waterloo_sunset: you're missing a - before the $ | 19:11 |
| Pici | waterloo_sunset: you're missing a dash between headers and $( | 19:11 |
| waterloo_sunset | thx | 19:11 |
| Calin24 | during startup my system hangs for 5+ minutes at Checking Quotas... any suggestions why or how to fix it? | 19:12 |
| scorp123 | UndertakerX2: take a look at "kino" ... it has an "Export" function that will generate the necessary files for a Video DVD. Once that's done you can easily burn the stuff e.g. with "k3b". | 19:12 |
| mediabuntu | Kl4m: i done copy and paste. so what i should have done was compy the hole folder the ranem and place on the client. /root/.ssh.authorixed_kers | 19:12 |
| UndertakerX2 | thanks scorp | 19:12 |
| the-killer | Hello how can i upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 i had do that with update manager and they say md5sum error | 19:13 |
| the-killer | :s | 19:13 |
| elliotjhug | Hi all, I realise that this is incredibly unsupported and all that. But what are the technical possibilities of moving my home directory onto a new partition without reinstalling ubuntu? | 19:13 |
| mediabuntu | excuse my typing :-* | 19:13 |
| UndertakerX2 | Scorp, or anyone, whats better Nero for Linux or kino? | 19:14 |
| Calin24 | elliotjhug: very easy... just mv /home /home2, mkdir /home, mount the new drive as /home and cp -R /home2/* /home | 19:14 |
| nanonyme | hmm, does anyone know why libcurl3-dev is a virtual package for libcurl4-dev? | 19:14 |
| Calin24 | I just did it this morning changing my /home from local to a raid 5 partition | 19:14 |
| Kl4m | mediabuntu: /root/.ssh/autorized keys . ssh wants restricted permissions on these files also, or it will fail. the .ssh directory should be owned by root.root (see chown, the permissions on .ssh/ should be 700 (see chmod) and 600 on authorized_keys | 19:14 |
| times9 | can I extend my desktop to a second screen using a second comp (a laptop) and vnc? ala maxivista | 19:14 |
| elliotjhug | Calin24: Thanks alot :) - I'll keep a note of that. | 19:15 |
| nanonyme | seems especially weird considering there is no libcurl4 to install | 19:15 |
| batoms | i'm also seeing "ad_idmap_cached_connection: Failed to obtain schema details!" in the winbind log | 19:16 |
| Kl4m | mediabuntu: you did read about key-based ssh right, it's "very non-trivial" | 19:16 |
| batoms | i've pulled all the stops and can't get the ADS integration working | 19:16 |
| Pici | nanonyme: libcurl4-dev is provided by libcurl4-gnutls-dev | 19:16 |
| batoms | i had it working with Ubuntu 7.04 but the exact same config isn't working on Ubuntu 7.10 | 19:16 |
| nanonyme | Pici, you misread the question | 19:16 |
| mediabuntu | Kl4m: sorry what you mean ? | 19:17 |
| Pici | nanonyme: did I? | 19:17 |
| Russian | Can you adjust the screensize of Virtual box to match the screen, like you are workingin full view? | 19:17 |
| nanonyme | yes | 19:17 |
| Russian | how? | 19:17 |
| Pici | nanonyme: Why? | 19:17 |
| nanonyme | Pici, i asked why there isn't libcurl3-dev when libcurl3 is the binary to install | 19:17 |
| tharvey | what is the recommended course of action to install vmware-player on 7.10? | 19:17 |
| batoms | oop, wrong channel | 19:17 |
| nanonyme | Pici, libcurl3-dev is a virtual package for libcurl4-dev | 19:17 |
| Pici | nanonyme: I dont know then. | 19:17 |
| nanonyme | it just doesn't make any sense to me | 19:17 |
| mediabuntu | Kl4m: :'( now i cant log on to the host /etc/ssh/ssh_config: line 53: Bad configuration option: PermitRootLogin | 19:18 |
| Pici | nanonyme: Its weird. | 19:18 |
| mjtunes | how i manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' plz ppeps | 19:18 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| EJ | what is the command to remove a directory when it is not empty ? | 19:18 |
| gsak | mediabuntu-> whats your line 53 of that ssh_config file? | 19:18 |
| MenZa | EJ: rm -r <directory> | 19:18 |
| cookie666 | I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 on a 160GB hard drive, when I restart it gives me a "grub read error" can anyone help me? Do I have to change something in menu.lst? | 19:18 |
| MenZa | EJ: rm -rf if you wish to force it. | 19:18 |
| EJ | MenZa: thanx | 19:19 |
| mediabuntu | gsak: how can i see it it wont let me log on any more :9 | 19:19 |
| gsak | mediabuntu-> then use the liveCd to recover | 19:19 |
| Esteth | How do i tell gnome to start kicker instead of gnome-panel? | 19:19 |
| mediabuntu | join me at #backuppc | 19:19 |
| Pici | mediabuntu: log on as a normal user | 19:19 |
| Scunizi | irvken, back | 19:20 |
| burwaco | hello everyone! | 19:20 |
| mediabuntu | http://pastebin.com/m40643373 | 19:21 |
| dfeeser | i just installed the nvidia GeForce 7300 GT into a PCI Express slot, changed the entry in BIOS, but now X will not start | 19:21 |
| Scunizi | burwaco, I hope your not expecting all 1356 of us to say hi. :) | 19:21 |
| dwayne | that's a lot of users | 19:21 |
| nanonyme | Pici, i know. that's why i asked | 19:21 |
| Pici | nanonyme: did you see any bugs filed for it? | 19:22 |
| dwayne | how do you change the default server xchat connects to? | 19:22 |
| aantn | is it possible to make python apps look like normal gtk apps? | 19:22 |
| * MasterScript just watching | 19:22 | |
| dwayne | found it | 19:23 |
| the-killer | Hello how can i upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 i had do that with update manager and they say md5sum error | 19:23 |
| Pici | the-killer: Whats the exact error? | 19:23 |
| eljak | aantn, am sure there should be a py-gtk library :) | 19:23 |
| times9 | can I extend my desktop to a second screen using a second comp (a laptop) and vnc? ala maxivista | 19:23 |
| mjtunes | how i manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' plz ppeps | 19:23 |
| Pici | mjtunes: sudo dpkg --configure -a? | 19:24 |
| ompaul | mjtunes, sudo dpkg --configure -a | 19:24 |
| aantn | eljak: they don't look normal | 19:24 |
| Esteth | aantn: Python is not what makes the apps look different, it's the windowing toolkit they use. If a python app is using pyQT instead of pyGTK, i don't think there's a way to change it, unfortunately | 19:24 |
| mjtunes | dur | 19:24 |
| burwaco | is there anyone having problems with flashgames in firefox ? mine are really choppy... I'm running the flibflashplayer.so, Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48, plugin... | 19:24 |
| aantn | Esteth: I would assume that the login window's setting panel uses pygtk | 19:25 |
| mediabuntu | now i just get Permission denied (publickey,password). | 19:25 |
| nanonyme | Pici, no. and mystically it seems to work | 19:25 |
| Esteth | aantn: I beleive it does in ubuntu. In kubuntu there may be a different setting pannel. | 19:25 |
| nanonyme | Pici, so it isn't really a bug, it's just a weird feature | 19:25 |
| dfeeser | does anyone know how to reconfigure X for use with my nvidia chip in X | 19:26 |
| mjtunes | and how i make my extra h/ds mount on boot | 19:26 |
| mjtunes | plz | 19:26 |
| charlesg3 | dpkg-reconfigure | 19:26 |
| nanonyme | i don't know any graphical tool for that but /etc/fstab help | 19:27 |
| cfedde | why can't I get 7.10 to use as high a monitor res as I could get 7.4 to use? | 19:27 |
| Esteth | dfseer: The restricted drivers manager should sort out the nvidia drivers for you and i beleive it reconfigures X aswell | 19:27 |
| eljak | mjtunes, add to fstab file | 19:27 |
| dfeeser | Esteth: so i should uninstall it and then reinstall it? | 19:27 |
| mjtunes | kk | 19:27 |
| dfeeser | it is configured for my onboard ATI now | 19:27 |
| Scunizi | dfeeser, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 19:27 |
| magic_ninja | i'm looking into buying a new computer, what are some good nvidia graphics cards to choose from | 19:27 |
| Pici | magic_ninja: Join #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware please, this is offtopic for this channel. | 19:28 |
| qmiz | I have some problem with my dualview. Can someone help me? I have a Nvidia card. | 19:28 |
| Kl4m | magic_ninja: you mean compatible with linux/ubuntu? | 19:28 |
| geolite | quick 7.10 question. Is there built-in support for dual monitor setups without having to have users hit config files manually? | 19:28 |
| Scunizi | !ask | qmiz | 19:28 |
| ubotu | qmiz: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 19:28 |
| magic_ninja | Kl4m: preferably for gaming, i want a great card | 19:28 |
| Blahmon3000 | how come i cant ping 192.168.1.101???? | 19:28 |
| Esteth | Probably not so good an idea to uninstall drivers if you allready have the correct ones. if X is not using the driver you installed with restricted driver manager, try changing the entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from nv or vesa to nvidia, but make a backup of that file in case things get hairy | 19:28 |
| manchicken | Is there a GUI diff program for GNOME? | 19:29 |
| scorp123 | UndertakerX2: sorry, I was away .... "Nero for Linux" is very limited in functionality. It's pretty far away from the Windows version as far as features go. | 19:29 |
| tharvey | having trouble setting up a persistant vncserer session (indpendent of local session) using vncserver - log shows 'could not open default font 'fixed'' - any suggestions? | 19:29 |
| Pici | Blahmon3000: Why can't you ping a random address internal to your network? | 19:29 |
| Scunizi | manchicken, what's a diff program? | 19:29 |
| batoms | anyone have samba/winbind/ADS authentication working with Gutsy | 19:29 |
| manchicken | Scunizi: A program that shows the differences between files | 19:29 |
| batoms | i'm using the same configs as I used on feisty but it doesn't seem to work anymore | 19:30 |
| scorp123 | manchicken: gvimdiff | 19:30 |
| Transience | i'm installing ubuntu for the first time, should i use the 32 or 64bit version? | 19:30 |
| scorp123 | Transience: depends on your CPU | 19:30 |
| tharvey | Transience, depends on your system - is it 63 or 32? | 19:30 |
| Esteth | batoms: I have samba authentication working in gutsy for people to read from my samba share, but i havn't tried connecting to another authenticated samba share from my computer | 19:30 |
| Transience | i can use either | 19:30 |
| scorp123 | tharvey: 64 you wanted to say ;) | 19:30 |
| tharvey | heh | 19:30 |
| manchicken | scorp123: That's not a GNOMEish program :P | 19:30 |
| magic_ninja | how is linux support for dual 64 bit processors | 19:30 |
| tharvey | i'm a bit short and a byte late | 19:30 |
| Pici | Transience: There are some issues with proprietary applications under 64bit | 19:30 |
| scorp123 | manchicken: gvimdiff?? Of course it is. | 19:30 |
| Transience | centrino duo is the processor | 19:30 |
| scorp123 | manchicken: as you can tell by the letter "g" there :-) | 19:31 |
| Transience | oh ok | 19:31 |
| batoms | Esteth: what i'm looking for is a working config for authenticating against an active directory server | 19:31 |
| Transience | so i should use the 32bit version then? | 19:31 |
| Esteth | Transience: unless you have more than 3gb of ram, i'd reccomend the 32bit version, it's less problematic | 19:31 |
| Dan2552 | best use 32 imo | 19:31 |
| Transience | okay thanks | 19:31 |
| UndertakerX2 | whats the equivalent of ipconfig for command line in ubuntu? | 19:31 |
| Dan2552 | ifconfig | 19:31 |
| EdgEy | ifconfig | 19:31 |
| geolite | ifconfig | 19:31 |
| scorp123 | UndertakerX2: ifconfig | 19:31 |
| tharvey | so is the lack of documentation for 7.10 because its so new? this is my first time looking at Ubuntu and the first thing I notice is that I goto the online docs and there is nothing for the current release | 19:31 |
| fftb | :) | 19:31 |
| UndertakerX2 | lol thanks all | 19:31 |
| qmiz | how do i fix the resolution probelm i have? when i choose to use dualview the backgrounds gets extreamly big | 19:31 |
| tharvey | I almost feel like I should have installed 7.04 instead of 7.10 | 19:32 |
| manchicken | scorp123: No, that's just vim wrapped in a GTK styled window. It's still a text-based editor. | 19:32 |
| Esteth | batoms: That's a bit over my head i'm afraid, i just installed a package and read a tutorial :S | 19:32 |
| EdgEy | tharvey, are you having problems ? | 19:32 |
| Dan2552 | how do you disable desktop icons? They're quite annoying | 19:32 |
| tharvey | EdgEy, yes, I can't figure out how to get a persistant vncserver independent of local session | 19:32 |
| scorp123 | UndertakerX2: if you're not sure what the command to something is use the "apropos" command, e.g. "apropos interface" will spit out all the system commands that have something to do with network interfaces. Very useful ;-) | 19:32 |
| Esteth | tharvey: Most of the documentation for 7.04 should still be relevant to 7.10 :) | 19:32 |
| Scunizi | qmiz, you mean that it stretches the background across both monitors? | 19:32 |
| tharvey | also trying to figure out how to install vmware player | 19:33 |
| cookie666 | can anyone help me with a grub read error that I get when I reboot after installing Ubuntu? | 19:33 |
| CarstenF | Gents i'm in trouble , i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on a Via Eden-5000 mobo with a 40GB 2.5" hitachi drive - Grub starts up but says stage 1.5 and error 2 | 19:33 |
| wolflord | do you have to be root to view the /etc/passwd file ?? | 19:33 |
| Esteth | How do i remove gnome-panel, or start kicker instead of it? | 19:33 |
| jamiejackson | yes | 19:33 |
| tharvey | the sole reason I'm looking at moving away from fedora is because I'm sick of having to rebuild things like vmware player every kernel update - want to see if Ubuntu handles that better | 19:33 |
| scorp123 | manchicken: of course it is. "vim" and "diff" are always about text. But the menus work tip top, so you don't need to bother about vim's cryptic commands such as ":wq" and all that. | 19:33 |
| TumaT | someone knows how to change or remove gnome logo from nautilus? | 19:33 |
| Dan2552 | tharvey: vmware player installed alright on mine | 19:33 |
| Scunizi | cookie666, see http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm ... put grub on all your boot partitions for backup. | 19:33 |
| jamiejackson | wolford: i take it back, seems no | 19:34 |
| tharvey | Dan2552, how did you install vmware-player? | 19:34 |
| qmiz | Scunizi, think thats the problem | 19:34 |
| Mmjack | Hi. ive been having this problem. when i install the nvidia driver on this computer the screen flickers and freezes occasionaly. ime using a DV6000 (AMD64) This is realy anoying as it disables compiz and all 3d accellorated effects... Is there any soloution to this yet? | 19:34 |

| jamiejackson | tharvey: gutsy or feisty | 19:34 |

| jamiejackson | okay apt-get won't work in feisty | 19:34 |
| wolflord | i can see the file passwd and passwd- | 19:34 |
| tharvey | Dan2552, which archive... not rpm but tgz I guess? I'm used to rpm's from fedora | 19:34 |
| jamiejackson | so you've gotta download it from their site | 19:34 |
| manchicken | scorp123: Or winmerge? | 19:34 |
| wolflord | but when I try and cd to it | 19:34 |
| scorp123 | manchicken: "k"ompare <= sounds like a KDE program? | 19:34 |
| manchicken | scorp123: I'm looking for something more like that. | 19:35 |
| wolflord | it says its not a dir | 19:35 |
| jamiejackson | i downloaded vmwareserver | 19:35 |
| manchicken | scorp123: Yeah | 19:35 |
| scorp123 | manchicken: sorry, garbled message | 19:35 |
| jamiejackson | it's ntoa dir | 19:35 |
| jamiejackson | it's a text file | 19:35 |
| jamiejackson | cat /etc/passwd | 19:35 |
| scorp123 | manchicken: kompare ... sounds like a KDE program? | 19:35 |
| CarstenF | Gents i'm in trouble , i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on a Via Eden-5000 mobo with a 40GB 2.5" hitachi drive - Grub starts up but says stage 1.5 and error 2 | 19:35 |
| Dan2552 | tharvey: i think it was tar... it wasnt RPM, and TGZ is slackware i think | 19:35 |
| wolflord | I use gedit | 19:35 |
| qmiz | Scunizi, I want two diffrent backgrounds but it seems like the orginal is streched out? | 19:35 |
| TumaT | someone knows how to change or remove gnome logo from nautilus? | 19:35 |
| manchicken | scorp123: Yes | 19:35 |
| scorp123 | manchicken: haven't been on KDE in a while now | 19:35 |
| wolflord | would that make a dif | 19:35 |
| manchicken | scorp123: Ever used winmerge? | 19:35 |
| Scunizi | qmiz, dual monitor setup is now handled by xrandr (i think). If you want two independant screens each displaying the same background but not "stretched" the older xinerama extension would do it.. I'm not sure if you can implement it though. You might ask in #ubuntu-effects. | 19:35 |
| tharvey | there is nothing you can do with rpm's on Ubuntu right? | 19:35 |
| jamiejackson | i've got winmerge in wine | 19:35 |
| jamiejackson | i like it better than linux alternative | 19:36 |
| jamiejackson | s | 19:36 |
| scorp123 | manchicken: although ... my corporate desktop is KDE but whenever I do "vi" or "diff" I am on the command line anyway :-) So ... sorry, no, I don't know those programs. | 19:36 |
| Dan2552 | tharvey: you can convert them to .deb - but i found it caused loads of extra trouble | 19:36 |
| Esteth | scorp123: I think eclipse or netbeans has a visual diff mode, but that's maybe a bit heavy | 19:36 |
| Scunizi | tharvey, not necessarily. Alien might be able to convert the rpm | 19:36 |
| Mmjack | Hi. ive been having this problem. when i install the nvidia driver on this computer the screen flickers and freezes occasionaly. ime using a DV6000 (AMD64) This is realy anoying as it disables compiz and all 3d accellorated effects... Is there any soloution to this yet? | 19:36 |

| Scunizi | qmiz, I understand... me too.. be at it a year+ and still feel like a babe in the woods... one step at a time. | 19:37 |
| jamiejackson | kompare, kdiff3, meld, winmerge in wine | 19:37 |
| jamiejackson | i've got em all installed | 19:37 |
| Esteth | scorp123: not tried them, but meld and xffm are both gnome apps | 19:38 |
| scorp123 | Esteth: I just installed "meld" .... gonna take a look | 19:38 |

| tharvey | so I cant figure out how to get a vnc session into a Ubuntu 7.10 desktop that someone else is logged into. My user is logged in with remote desktop enabled, just not the active session - when I vnc in I get a black screen - this is why I'm trying to figure out how to run vncserver independent of current sessions | 19:40 |
| Scunizi | CarstenF, no need to mount / to get to grub on the hd.. check out http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm | 19:40 |
| ^robertj | I'm having trouble getting mine setup properly and word-from-on-high is that it is mis-setting my default partition type and causing grub to be unhappyu | 19:40 |
| Scunizi | CarstenF, or if you want to just look at the grub list on the hd then maybe sudo mount -a | 19:41 |
| Pici | Scunizi: Its easier to run grubinstall than to wade through config giles. | 19:41 |

| Mmjack | the screen flickers | 19:42 |
| Scunizi | Pici, I'm not wading at all.. the link shows how to fix grub without touching config files.. | 19:42 |

| BenjiClub | hi | 19:43 |
| DaBeowulf | Do you know about a bug where booting from the Live CD has the mouse pointer rendering not updated and the only visible clue to where it's at is buttons highlighting? (Xubuntu.. :| ) | 19:43 |
| tharvey | so how often does Ubuntu's kernel update, requiring rebuilds/updates of things like vmware-player that have kernel modules? | 19:44 |
| Scunizi | stiev3, use blkid to identify the uuid's.. | 19:44 |
| Pici | Niteye, gsak; that wouldnt stop them from modifying their path once they logged in. | 19:44 |
| ompaul | DaBeowulf, suggest you ask in #xubuntu as they would kinda know more | 19:44 |
| ompaul | tharvey, when a security updated happens | 19:44 |
| DaBeowulf | I did already of course. Thanks, though. | 19:45 |
| godzirra | This is an odd question, but does anyone know much about headphones, and what the driver size means, exactly? | 19:45 |
| Scunizi | tharvey, once you've received a kernel update you have to run sudo ./usr/bin/vmware-config.pl to get vmware back. | 19:45 |
| tharvey | ompaul, so how often would you say that occurs.... once a month, week, day? | 19:45 |

| mediabuntu | myssh no longer works i keep getting Permission denied (publickey,password). | 19:45 |
| tharvey | Scunizi, so the issue I had on fedora was that vmware-config.pl would not work without downloading a bunch of vmware-any-any crud... is that the case with Ubuntu? | 19:45 |
| ompaul | tharvey, whenever there is a security update, that could be once in six months or every day for a month - depends on upstream | 19:45 |

| Scunizi | tharvey, no.. I've been running VMWare server since Dapper 6.06 and the command has never really let me down.. It does do a recompile. But to install it in the first place you have to have installed "build-essential". All tools will already be there. | 19:47 |

| tharvey | Scunizi, great thanks for the info - yes, I apparently have build-essential b/c the modules built/installed - I still am surprised there isn't a simple package to download via the GUI as I thought vmware 'supported' Ubuntu which I thought would mean a nice .deb package to get via synaptic | 19:48 |

| tharvey | Scunizi, I can't seem to find player via synaptic | 19:49 |
| Curley_Sue | any ideas how to reconfigure the tty console? | 19:49 |
| Scunizi | EdgEy, right mouse click the speaker icon by the clock and choose "open volume control" you should find it in there. | 19:49 |

| ubotu | d90: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. | 20:07 |

| d90 | what is good repository, with newest versions of application | 20:07 |
| MasterShrek | d90 compiling for source is always the best way to have the newest software, but generally the newest software, as ubotu suggests, is not the best | 20:08 |

| tussey | !dvd | tussey | 20:32 |
| coulix | ivan: its hardware not software | 20:32 |
| Scunizi | Pici, I don't think it's suppose to be that complicated. If I right mouse click on a panel and choose "add" then Custom App Launcher, I have a choice of "application", application in terminal or location. I'm also having problems creating a link to open a directory (icon on panel) | 20:33 |
| tussey | !cd | tussey | 20:33 |
| tussey | what's the diff between gutsy CD and DVD? | 20:33 |
| Scunizi | tussey, dvd has lots more stuff on it like kubuntu, xubuntu etc. | 20:33 |
| MasterShrek | tussey the dvd has much more software, but the software is available through the repos | 20:33 |
| MasterShrek | so if you have a fast internet connection, using the cd will be no problem, and actually will result in a smaller install | 20:34 |
| tussey | kubuntu, isn't the KDE? | 20:34 |
| MasterShrek | tussey yes | 20:34 |
| tussey | so just different GUI? | 20:34 |
| MasterShrek | different desktop environment | 20:34 |
| dragon33 | is there any advantage of using gnome over KDE? | 20:34 |
| MasterShrek | dragon33 personal preference | 20:34 |
| wereHamster | how can I change which channel the 'volume up/down' buttons change? currently the change the 'mic' volume which is quite useless | 20:35 |
| Pici | Scunizi: Its complicated if you want to start a typically terminal based application/ | 20:35 |
| soundray | dragon33: it's a matter of taste and many a philosophical discussion | 20:35 |
| dragon33 | gotcha :-) | 20:35 |
| tussey | KDE doesn't look refined, pretty 'blocky' actually | 20:35 |
| Scunizi | tussey, kubuntu uses kde and has different libraries, xubuntu uses xfce. You can install Ubuntu with gnome and then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to install kde then just change "sessions" on boot to get to it. | 20:35 |
| tussey | oh cool | 20:35 |
| Scunizi | Pici, I'll have to boot back into Dapper to see how i did it there.. It didn't seem difficult at the time.... but .. if you don't use the skills all the time, some disappear | 20:36 |

| jadedangel3 | ok i am having an issue i cant remember the konsole command for changing screen resolution video card ect | 20:48 |
| pajaro91 | holas | 20:48 |
| stiev3 | To mount a windows share, all the tutorials i've read say install smbfs, however it's deprecated right? Should I look to using something else? | 20:48 |
| endo602 | LjL //192.168.1.100/Files /home/me/Files smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/user,rw,user=me 0 0 | 20:49 |
| MasterShrek | jadedangel3 sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will allow you to reconfigure your xserver | 20:49 |
| jadedangel3 | thank you | 20:49 |
| JoeThomas | Hi, is there anyway to determine what type of ram modules i have via terminal? | 20:49 |
| jadedangel3 | next question if you dont mind, i am running really slow after i reconfigured my xserver | 20:49 |
| MasterShrek | jadedangel3 did you select the correct video driver? | 20:50 |
| MasterShrek | JoeThomas does: cat /proc/meminfo give you the info you are looking for? | 20:50 |
| dragon33 | is there a graphical cpu and motherboard monitoring program available under ubuntu? best one that you have used? thank :-) | 20:50 |
| jadedangel3 | yes and it is an intigrated video card | 20:50 |
| MasterShrek | dragon33 gnome-system-monitor probably | 20:50 |
| |_James_Bond_| | Hi ppl... | 20:50 |
| jrib | LjL: solution in zsh! | 20:51 |
| jadedangel3 | and i set the mem to 128mb in server edit in the konsole | 20:51 |
| LjL | jrib: to soundray? | 20:51 |
| JoeThomas | MasterShrek: ehh, not really wanted to know if it was ddr or ddr2 but, not a big deal, I can just tear open the case :) | 20:51 |
| jrib | LjL: yeah | 20:51 |
| JoeThomas | MasterShrek: thanks | 20:51 |
| dragon33 | thanks mastershrek, i was thinking about a temperature and fan speed control utility | 20:51 |
| jadedangel3 | Mastershrek:i was thinking if i didnt give it but half or 32 or maybe none, if that would help | 20:51 |
| funnyman7 | Is there a way to create a new xorg file that will automatically detect most of my settings? I screwed mine up somehow. | 20:51 |
| MasterShrek | dragon33 lmsensors i believe should do it, apt-get it, could be lm-sensors | 20:51 |
| dragon33 | thanks :-) | 20:52 |
| LjL | jrib: i'm not sure why ยซ | tee >(head >/tmp/head) >(tail >/tmp/tail) >/dev/null ยป doesn't work... the head looks fine, but the tail seems to be some quite random part of the file i tried | 20:52 |

| DrUnKnMuNkY | does anyone know why artsd would be constantly using 12-15% of CPU? | 20:52 |
| LjL | endo602: try using "cifs" rather than "smbfs", for a start | 20:53 |
| MaDeX | hiya poops | 20:53 |
| krakatoa | holaaaa | 20:53 |
| MaDeX | I need some assistance | 20:53 |
| endo602 | ljl do i need to insall the package? | 20:53 |
| MaDeX | :) | 20:53 |
| LjL | endo602: should be installed | 20:53 |
| MaDeX | 8800 GTS to install on 7.04 | 20:53 |
| MaDeX | nvidia :( | 20:53 |
| MaDeX | i'm having looooads of problems | 20:53 |
| LjL | endo602: i mean, should be installed *already*. try just changing smbfs into cifs in fstab | 20:53 |
| LjL | MaDeX: well, start at the beginning | 20:54 |
| MaDeX | ok :) | 20:54 |
| MaDeX | fresh install (again) of feisty fawn | 20:54 |
| MaDeX | << i'm a real noob | 20:54 |
| MaDeX | tried the restricted drivers | 20:54 |
| MaDeX | its saying something about cannot start x server | 20:54 |
| endo602 | that works :) | 20:54 |
| endo602 | let me try some other folders | 20:55 |
| MaDeX | and wont boot, so I wiped hard drive | 20:55 |
| MaDeX | and here I am, ive consulted forum all day - but nothing works (maybe i'm doing it wrong) | 20:55 |
| EdgEy | ok, just tried my mic in windows to test | 20:55 |
| === pete__ is now known as cbx33 | ||
| EdgEy | in windows my mic works fine, in ubuntu, it's really really quiet even with boost on | 20:55 |
| Scunizi | Is evolution-exchange-storage neccessary if I'm not using any MS Exchange functions? It eats 9meg of ram. | 20:55 |
| EdgEy | using an audigy2 | 20:55 |
| amishninja | I have to ask: I'm on a laptop with some pretty good specs, but with a very shoddy video card. I've had minor problems in Feisty graphics-wise, but now I'm reading in the forums that Gutsy is worse. Is it still worth the upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 at this point? | 20:56 |
| Odd-rationale | MaDeX: So you can't even get to the login screen. | 20:56 |
| EdgEy | amish just dont use desktop effects | 20:56 |
| cinch | Hi I don't have any icons appearing on my desktop and Nautilus won't start. Can anyone help? | 20:56 |
| MaDeX | I can now, ive reinstalled | 20:56 |
| MaDeX | I just need drivers to work with my 8800 GTS | 20:57 |
| Oli`` | Scunizi: Holy buckets of phlegm! 9megs!? That's an entire $0.50 of ram there | 20:57 |
| Scunizi | EdgEy, if you type the first part of a nick then hit Tab it will auto complete and the person you're addressing will have a highlighted line. | 20:57 |
| endo602 | LjL thank you | 20:57 |
| endo602 | ljl why was that? | 20:57 |
| j0e_x | amish, it's worth it. i had a few intel grafix issues, easily fixed. | 20:57 |
| LjL | endo602, i'm not really sure, but smbfs is deprecated and full of problems, cifs should always be used now | 20:58 |
| Scunizi | Oli``, just trying to eliminate unnecessary processes. | 20:58 |
| amishninja | even with an intel 810/815? it's an awful card. :) | 20:58 |
| Odd-rationale | MaDeX: What happened when you opened the Restrited manager. | 20:58 |
| endo602 | what about nfs? | 20:58 |
| EdgEy | i found a forum topic with the same problem | 20:58 |
| EdgEy | my mic works but itsreally really faint | 20:58 |
| amishninja | and I'm on a laptop, with those HD power usage issues to boot | 20:58 |
| LjL | MaDeX, so now your X is working but without the nvidia driver, or as you left at a console? | 20:58 |
| j0e_x | try removing the xorg xgl server. | 20:58 |
| brohken | hey guys, im installing 7.10 on my thinkpad with an alternate CD... the install seems to have froze at 85%. it just says "tomboy installed"... any ideas? | 20:58 |
| MaDeX | well | 20:58 |
| d90 | what is good archive managment application, easy to use with gui. | 20:59 |
| MaDeX | it says a red dot | 20:59 |
| stiev3 | endo602, before you bail, were you following a tutorial to set up your share, I'm currently attempting the same thing I'd like to follow your steps if you were... maybe u got a link? | 20:59 |
| GreySim | ango | 20:59 |
| MaDeX | so ive downloaded package and installed | 20:59 |
| Scunizi | d90, you want to compress files/folders? | 20:59 |
| d90 | Scunizi, yes | 20:59 |
| d90 | Scunizi, rar is priority | 20:59 |
| MaDeX | then it says to restart, once thats done it flickers a bit, then says this cannot load x driver | 20:59 |
| Odd-rationale | MaDeX: And you checked the box by the red dot? | 20:59 |
| LjL | d90: what's wrong with file-roller that's default? | 20:59 |
| d90 | LjL, file-roller | 21:00 |
| d90 | LjL? | 21:00 |
| Oli`` | Scunizi: fair enough. does it exist in it's own package (that could be removed)? is evolution-exchange it? | 21:00 |
| d90 | LjL, it inst default... | 21:00 |
| Scunizi | d90, choose files and folders then right mouse click and say create archive, it will give you some options. If rar isn't installed, install first .. hopefully it'll show up on the list. | 21:00 |
| MrWhammy | small question here: I'm trying to copy all .mpg files from my home directory to my usb-stick. I tried the following, but it does not seem to work | 21:01 |
| MrWhammy | find . -depth -name "*.mpg" | cpio --null -pvd /media/disk/ | 21:01 |
| EdgEy | is there anything i can do about this or am i just screwed | 21:01 |
| EdgEy | mic is unusable :/ | 21:01 |
| Scunizi | Oli``, I think it's a plugin for Evo and access via Evo to turn it on and off. | 21:01 |
| ivan | exit | 21:01 |
| d90 | Scunizi, thx A LOT | 21:02 |
| MaDeX | well, ive downloaded the drivers | 21:02 |
| Scunizi | d90, np | 21:02 |
| MaDeX | from resticted and then wonce rebooted wont start up | 21:02 |
| Oli`` | Scunizi: well typically I'd suggest Thunderbird for mail (and scrub evo completely) but I doubt it's a performance improvement | 21:02 |
| MaDeX | would it be best if I download my drivers from nvidia site itself? | 21:03 |
| LjL | d90, yes it is default. it's in the Gnome menu, though perhaps under another name (i don't use gnome. | 21:03 |
| MaDeX | maybe those would work? | 21:03 |
| Paddy_EIRE | is it possible to run gutsy with an older kernel possibly the -15?? | 21:03 |
| dn | anyone know of a 'delay' feature for running commands | 21:03 |
| LjL | !rar > d90 (d90, see the private message from Ubotu) | 21:03 |
| dn | like 'delay 1000 cmd' | 21:03 |
| jacobian | anyone know why after upgrading to ubuntu 7.10, when I watch a flash movie in firefox and start emacs (and some other programs as well) the flash movie stops working. | 21:03 |
| LjL | dn: sleep <seconds> | 21:03 |
| dn | sleep <seconds> command? | 21:03 |
| edzofcit | hi | 21:03 |
| d90 | LjL, I use Ubuntu 7.10 and it says that default is "Archive Manager" | 21:03 |
| Scunizi | Oli``, Thunderbird's ok and Evo on Gutsy is much more stable than Dapper. I like the integration it has but also find that kontact has better export features that I sometimes need. | 21:04 |
| LjL | dn: i.e. for instance ยซ echo Hi ; sleep 3 ; echo How are you ยป | 21:04 |
| LjL | d90: yes, it's file-roller. | 21:04 |
| edzofcit | i have a problem | 21:04 |
| jasonbuntu | is there a software raid program in linux similar to the one in the new Windows Home Server, where you can mix various hard drivces together, regardless of size etc? | 21:04 |
| dn | can i put that in a 'Sessions'? | 21:04 |
| LjL | dn: no idea | 21:04 |
| dn | i have sshfs in there, but it runs it before my wireless connects | 21:04 |
| d90 | LjL, yeah you are right it is File Roller 2.20.0 | 21:04 |
| Oli`` | Paddy_EIRE: the -15 kernel? I thought the latest gutsy kernel was -14? | 21:04 |
| edzofcit | my compiz manager hasn't work when i have an update | 21:04 |
| MaDeX | (would love some help to install gfx drivers) | 21:04 |
| LjL | dn, if it's a shell script, it should work | 21:05 |
| dn | it's in the gui thing for 'Sessions' under Preferences | 21:05 |
| LjL | dn, i'm on KDE | 21:05 |
| dn | i'm not apt at init.d scripts or bash scripts or whatever | 21:05 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Oli``, to be totally specific 2.6.20-15-generic | 21:05 |
| edzofcit | can someone help me | 21:05 |
| edzofcit | ? | 21:06 |
| Oli`` | edzofcit: you probably need to reinstall your restricted driver, if you've had a kernel update | 21:06 |
| edzofcit | i have a problem with my compiz manager in ubuntu 7.10 when doing an update | 21:06 |
| LjL | dn: anyway /bin/sleep *is* a program, so i guess you could call it from anywhere. your GNOME thing just needs to support chaining of *two* commands (the sleep, and the actual command you want) | 21:06 |
| dn | i've put sleep 7; sshfs etc etc | 21:07 |
| EdgEy | is there any app that can process my microphone input before it reaches apps etc to make it louder | 21:07 |
| dn | i'll see how that works, thanks | 21:07 |
| LjL | dn: try either ยซ sleep 10 ; command ยป or ยซ sleep 10 && command ยป or perhaps even ยซ sh -c "sleep 10 ; command ยป (10 being the seconds, just an example) | 21:07 |
| edzofcit | okey ill try | 21:07 |
| dn | i guess i should probably look into creating a proper scripts | 21:07 |
| dn | thanks for the help LjL | 21:07 |
| Paddy_EIRE | LjL, which key does those 'ยซยป' | 21:07 |
| LjL | MaDeX: no, don't download the drivers from the nvidia site, that will only cause problems. do you know how to reset your X to a working state if the driver doesn't work? | 21:08 |
| tobi | Hello | 21:08 |
| Oli`` | Hi | 21:08 |
| LjL | !xconfig > MaDeX (MaDeX, see the private message from Ubotu) you can do it like that, select "VESA" as the driver, and your X will start again | 21:08 |
| aryr100 | anybody know how to get root access with E17 installed on ubuntu ? | 21:08 |
| Hornyy | 36 | 21:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | aryr100, sudo | 21:08 |
| Terrasque | aryr100: sudo, gksudo | 21:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !root | aryr100 | 21:08 |
| ubotu | aryr100: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:08 |
| bonz_[R] | hi lads, anybody got issue with hotkey-setup on gibbon (or acpid ) ? | 21:09 |
| aryr100 | I mean like with gnome i use alt+f2 | 21:09 |
| LjL | MaDeX: you should pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (if the very last time you tried to start X, it failed because of the nvidia driver) or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old (if it failed the time previous to that) | 21:09 |

| Paddy_EIRE | gnr, depends on what you require | 21:09 |

| Codenut | Before I run out of disks to make into coasters I need to understand how to make a bootable cdrom out of an .iso file. I am trying to use windows and I am trying to use the "EL Torito" mode. | 21:14 |
| LjL | MaDeX: ok, give me your current situation now. can you start X? | 21:15 |
| Codenut | Also, some progams say the .iso is too big, others put it below 700mb | 21:15 |
| LjL | tobi: dejavu is a font | 21:15 |
| howlingmadhowie | Codenut: i think that depends a lot upon the software you use. nero is said to have a direct burning mode. i'm not sure if windows' own burning application does that | 21:16 |
| tobi | LjL yes I know that ! | 21:16 |
| LjL | tobi: well, you asked the bot. | 21:16 |
| MaDeX | LjL ive reinstalled and fresh copy of feisty - completely ready to go - trying via nvdia site - ill read instructions there and chat to you in sec | 21:16 |
| howlingmadhowie | tobi: dejavu is an image format :) | 21:16 |
| MaDeX | !tab | 21:16 |
| ubotu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 21:16 |
| tobi | LjL yes usually the bot answers, not the op :-| | 21:16 |
| LjL | MaDeX: uhm, you know the current Ubuntu version is *Gutsy*, right? | 21:16 |
| MaDeX | I cant work this auto completion | 21:17 |
| LjL | tobi, the bot never answered to "what is" questions. i've made it give usage instructions to you. | 21:17 |
| MaDeX | lol | 21:17 |
| edzofcit | still has problem with compiz | 21:17 |
| LjL | MaDeX: then just type it, i have a 3-letters nickname | 21:17 |
| edzofcit | does someone experience whats im experiencing right now? | 21:17 |
| Codenut | So I just drop my iso into Nero, as is where is and it will burn for me? | 21:17 |
| tobi | LjL okay sorry | 21:17 |
| howlingmadhowie | Codenut: i have no idea :( | 21:17 |
| MaDeX | lol yeah that ljl | 21:17 |
| aryr100 | with gnome i use alt+f2 then gksudo nautilus ! what do you use for E17 ? | 21:18 |
| tobi | anyway my real question was how make ubuntu use dejavu condensed font again ... | 21:18 |
| howlingmadhowie | Codenut: http://www.wizardskeep.org/mainhall/tutor/neroiso.html | 21:18 |
| LjL | aryr100: that's not something you should do often. anyway, you can use a terminal in E17, i assume, but you'd better ask in the E17 channel, we don't even have E17 in the repositories... | 21:18 |

| usr13 | jamiejackson: Are you sure you don't have an application or terminal open to the mount point? | 21:25 |
| jamiejackson | i don't think so, but of course it's possible | 21:26 |
| jamiejackson | but i can't find one that's got a handle | 21:26 |
| usr13 | jamiejackson: When a device reports that it is busy, it's usually for a reason. | 21:26 |
| jamiejackson | okay, so how do i a) find the reason or b) disregard the reason and kill the mount? | 21:26 |
| usr13 | jamiejackson: sudo umount /dev/xxx | 21:26 |
| usr13 | jamiejackson: Close other apps first | 21:27 |

| Kl4m | Mba7eth: I don't think you can do that with ethernet cards | 21:28 |
| usr13 | jamiejackson: Not sure really... just look at output of ps aux | 21:28 |
| nanonyme | get intel/3com? :) | 21:29 |
| usr13 | jamiejackson: maybe ps aux |grep /media/disk or..whatever is appropriate | 21:29 |
| nanonyme | realtek is mostly the cheap alternative producer... | 21:29 |
| Mba7eth | Kl4m: why? | 21:29 |
| Dybber | Which ATI-drivers except fglrx is best? - I can't get fglrx to work in gutsy, it did work once back with edgy, but not in the to most recent releases. | 21:29 |

| usr13 | jamiejackson: What type of device is it? A thumb drive? Where is it's mount point? | 21:30 |
| Kl4m | Mba7eth: each card has a MAC address and the card on the other end of the cable will want to receive transmission Aknowledgements from the same MAC adress | 21:30 |
| usr13 | jamiejackson: mount | 21:30 |
| mathieu | Hi, I upgraded to gutsy, and now I have the problem of evms vs new kernel compatibilty. I can't just remove evms because my lvm partitions aren't mounted then anymore. Can anyone help? | 21:30 |
| jamiejackson | usr13: ps aux gives: /sbin/mount.smbfs ... then it goes on to list the smb share in fstab | 21:30 |
| jasonbuntu | is there a software raid program in linux similar to the one in the new Windows Home Server, where you can mix various hard drivces together, regardless of size etc? | 21:31 |
| mathieu | I've tried setting up evms for the root fs, but the root fs (/dev/evms/hda1) is not found | 21:31 |
| cleaton | jasonbuntu, lvm? | 21:31 |

| jamiejackson | usr13: mount gives ... //va01webwin07dev/websites on /media/va01webwin07dev/websites type smbfs (rw) ... | 21:31 |
| usr13 | jamiejackson: Well, you will need to unmount it, so you will have kill smbd | 21:31 |
| Kl4m | Mba7eth: I guess you could do it eventually but somebody would have to rewrite the network driver at least, as far as I know | 21:31 |
| Mba7eth | Kl4m: Any how i just new this from a book.... no details on how to do this. got to dig more & more ...... | 21:31 |
| MaDeX | how do i get into my desktop folder from terminal | 21:31 |
| MaDeX | ls is showing desktop and examples | 21:31 |
| cleaton | jasonbuntu, i use lvm to put together 3 disks :) | 21:32 |
| MaDeX | i need to cd desktop - if you get what i mean | 21:32 |
| Mba7eth | Kl4m: Thanks alot :) | 21:32 |
| Kl4m | Mba7eth: if not the firmware of the cards :S | 21:32 |
| jasonbuntu | thnx | 21:32 |
| riotkittie | MaDeX: cd Desktop | 21:32 |
| MaDeX | bash: desktop: command not found | 21:32 |
| cleaton | jasonbuntu, don't know if it's similar to the one they have in windows home server, never used that | 21:32 |
| novacheck | anyone know how i can install intel pro wireless 2100 in 7.04 | 21:33 |
| Kl4m | MaDeX: on gutsy it seems the "Desktop" folders are localized. For example, in french Desktop is "Bureau" | 21:33 |

| usr13 | jamiejackson: ps aux |grep smb | 21:35 |
| livingdaylight | People remember we are because we all are! | 21:35 |
| usr13 | jamiejackson: see if it's still running. | 21:36 |
| Guillem | cleaton, I've tried the -delay option, without success. I guess that is for video/audio adjusting... | 21:36 |
| Kopfgeldjaeger | n8 | 21:36 |
| livingdaylight | anyone know? | 21:36 |
| Guillem | cleaton, I *think* I should somehow pipe mencoder and mplayer | 21:37 |
| jamiejackson | usr13: i killed the one mount.smbfs process that had that mount, but that wasn't enough, so i've gotta kill smb, as you said | 21:37 |
| cleaton | Guillem, can't you pause for 60 seconds and then press play? | 21:37 |

| vas | hey i am running ubuntu gutsy 7.10 am i running KDE or GNOME | 22:30 |
| LjL | Oli``, it definitely can. if you have GNOME, for instance, loading a KDE application means loading all the various KDE libraries. as long as you're not out of RAM, though, it's unlikely that performance (aside from application startup time) will be very significantly affected. Xfce, on the other hand, uses GTK like GNOME, so they should play well together | 22:30 |

| vas | watsoncj: its one or the other, not both at the same time right? | 22:36 |
| head3r | kilowatt, oops sorry, certainly php4-dev | 22:36 |
| LjL | gnr, do you have restricted enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list? are you on gutsy? | 22:36 |
| unikon | Anyone know how to fix the notify list from dissapearing after every reboot i am using Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy with Xchat version 2.8.4 | 22:37 |
| watsoncj | vas: yes thats right | 22:37 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | compiz is beta people | 22:37 |

| TB | I partitioned my HD with 40 gigs of EXT3 and left the rest unpartitioned thinking that I was going to use XP as my primary OS, but since I realized how much ubuntu rocks, I want to have my EXT3 partition fill most of my hard drive and leave 40 gigs for windows....is it possible to resize or should I reinstall unbuntu? | 22:37 |
| cleaton | Guillem, ok :P hope it will work, in theory it should work atleast :P | 22:37 |
| LjL | MaDeX, if there's no way to uninstall the nvidia.com driver, yes, you may want to reinstall ubuntu | 22:37 |
| MaDeX | kk | 22:37 |
| === Allistr1 is now known as Alistra | ||
| Cpudan80 | TB: you can resize | 22:37 |
| TB | okay | 22:37 |
| MaDeX | ljl be back in bit - and thanks your being a good sport :) | 22:37 |
| fblade1987 | there we go http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43713/ | 22:37 |
| Cpudan80 | TB: use gparted | 22:37 |
| jbinder | sokkerplayer92: Hi. | 22:37 |
| sokkerplayer92 | jbinder:yo | 22:38 |
| TB | is it better to reinstall or is this okay? | 22:38 |
| zaxius | so how do i use the perl scripting feature of xchat? | 22:38 |
| vas | watsoncj: how does GTK tie into either of those? I beleive I have GNOME running, because that is default for Gutsy correct? | 22:38 |
| TB | I remember partition magic took like 3 years to do it | 22:38 |
| zaxius | i don't feel like rtfm | 22:38 |
| jbinder | sokkerplayer92: State your problem. | 22:38 |
| jbinder | Lol. | 22:38 |
| watsoncj | vas: compiz usually runs on gnome but I think it will work on kde as well. It is responsible for giving the flashy eyecandy like wobbly windows and drop shadows | 22:38 |
| kilowatt | but i've installed the 5.2 | 22:38 |
| sokkerplayer92 | Lol, I already did. | 22:38 |
| sokkerplayer92 | :( | 22:38 |
| Guillem | cleaton, the thing works, it is just I don't know how hard it will be to syncronize the both emissions :P I guess that not too much and that I will be able to adjust the audio with the <- -> keys... | 22:38 |
| TB | Cpudan80: does it take forever like partition magic does? | 22:39 |
| watsoncj | vas: GTK is the library that gives you the buttons and scrollbars and windows (but not the window decorations) | 22:39 |
| kilowatt | i've done a separate installation of php for php-gtk | 22:39 |
| kilowatt | php-gtk2 sorry | 22:39 |
| Cpudan80 | TB: yes | 22:39 |
| Cpudan80 | TB: how big is the disk? | 22:39 |
| TB | 150 gb | 22:39 |
| cleaton | Guillem, hehe :P there is probably some technique you could use to get it right ;) | 22:39 |
| astx813 | Has anyone successfully mapped Super-L (or Win-L) to lock X? | 22:39 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | compiz-beryl is merged and is still beta | 22:39 |
| Cpudan80 | TB: it might be faster to just reinstall | 22:39 |
| TB | okay. Thank you | 22:39 |
| fblade1987 | anyone figure the problem out? | 22:40 |
| watsoncj | vas: yes gnome is the default for Ubuntu | 22:40 |
| head3r | kilowatt, ok, but the file "zend_language_parser.h" is missing, and this file is in the php4-dev package, that's the only thing i can tell you :( | 22:40 |
| jbinder | sokkerplayer92: What was your problem? | 22:40 |
| TB | also, what's the best file system for performance? | 22:40 |
| jbinder | Hit up enter and repaste it. | 22:40 |
| eZtaR | TB-> ext2 | 22:41 |
| Guillem | cleaton, I will have to play harder than the football players themselves :P | 22:41 |
| watsoncj | vas: there is a Kubuntu project that comes with KDE | 22:41 |
| TB | okay | 22:41 |
| kilowatt | ok i understand | 22:41 |
| eZtaR | They still use it as a standard to benchmark hdds | 22:41 |
| cleaton | Guillem, yes xD | 22:41 |
| TB | awesome | 22:41 |
| Guillem | cleaton, OK, time to go to bed. Thanks for your help! | 22:41 |
| cleaton | ok cya =) | 22:41 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | sure but ext2 is very ez to corrupt | 22:41 |
| TB | well I'm only interested in performance | 22:42 |
| justin420 | can anybody tell me if when you sudo modprobe nvidia_new does it actually load nvidia_new or is that just a symbolic link to the nvidia module? i have nvidia-glx-new package installed | 22:42 |

| mediabuntu | watsoncj: yeh | 22:55 |
| head3r | aran, so compiz is already install, you just have to install compizconfig-settings-manager (sudo apt-get install) and then go to "System->Preferences->Appearence" | 22:55 |
| ieee802 | ader10: if they don't work automatically press one of them and dmesg | 22:56 |
| ieee802 | you'll find the keycode | 22:56 |
| mediabuntu | so will it be ssh-copy-id -P and the *port number here | 22:56 |
| jannen | must say I like the epihpany browser:) | 22:56 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | ader10 go system prefs keyboard and see if yours is listed | 22:56 |
| ieee802 | then insert keycode in keyboard shortcuts | 22:56 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | if not | 22:56 |
| wick3dbluntz420 | xbindkeys may do it | 22:56 |

| wick3dbluntz420 | ieee802 was helping | 22:57 |
